Shire saves billionaire

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

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

A condition of the permit was two

adjacent blocks of land had to be consolidated onto one title.

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

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

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

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

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

Mr Bryan stated a driveway off Point Leo Rd had been “formed and the site for the dwelling has been levelled and construction works are currently under way�.

He told councillors the high cost of consolidating the lots “is considered overly onerous and therefore unreasonable�.

Removing the condition would not “affect or diminish the intent of the original planning permit condition or

alter the on-ground outcome, presently or into the future, with the use of the land in the Green Wedge Zone�.

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

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

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

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

Lycra army hits foreshore HASTINGS foreshore was awash with colour and activity as more than 1500 cancer survivors, cycling enthusiasts and support crew set up camp overnight Saturday at the midway point of the second annual Ride to Conquer Cancer.

Organisers said 1223 riders took part, helping raise $4.3 million for Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

The 200-kilometre event began early Saturday morning when participants departed Albert Park en route to Hastings foreshore where hundreds of tents had been set up for overnight accommodation. Showers, food and entertainment were provided for the riders, with an army of about 350 volunteers helping manage the event. Riders set out from Hastings about 8am Sunday for the 100-kilometre return to Albert Park.

Warning over power cuts

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being urged to prepare for major power outages that may occur during bushfires and extreme weather events, such as storms and heatwaves.

The peninsula’s main electricity distributor, United Energy, is sending 640,000 information packs to customers on what to do in the lead-up to bushfire season and how to respond to power supply cuts.

United Energy chief executive Hugh Gleeson said recent wild storms and anticipation of another summer of extreme fire risk provided a timely reminder to peninsula residents of the need to be prepared for the worst.

“It is integral that customers know what important steps they need to take on their property to prepare for an emergency or outage,” Mr Gleeson said.

“To reduce risks arising from weather and fire, we maintain our network year round with initiatives such as a vegetation management programs but we cannot do it alone – safety is everyone’s responsibility.

“Holiday homes are often in need of vegetation maintenance if they’ve been left empty through the winter months, and the influx of people over summer means a greater load on the network.

“Increased community awareness of risk factors and providing clear instructions on what to do during an emergency situation that impacts power supply can help prevent serious injury and even loss of life.

Consultancy costs MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will investigate publishing how much it pays consultants, although not in the annual report.

CEO Michael Kennedy, in response to a question from Barry Robinson at council’s 14 October meeting, said the information, if made public, would be separate to the annual report.

Mr Robinson, of McCrae, said he had asked Dr Kennedy the same question “several” times.

“While I accept that this information is not mandatory [in the annual report], it would provide more transparency in shire management. Why is it not included?” he asked.

Rate report ‘wrong’

Power cutting: United Energy contractors cut cypress trees away from power lines along Hodgins Rd in Hastings.

He said a brochure being sent to customers would provide advice on how to prepare for an emergency, such as having the electricity faults and emergencies line number on hand and having a battery-powered radio available to listen to weather conditions.

“During a power outage, residents can check when power will be restored by sending an SMS with their postcode to 0447 100 333.”

During an outage, residents are advised to check neighbours’ houses to see if they have also lost power and, if a widespread power outage is confirmed, to check if any elderly or sick neighbours need help. After ensuring all lights and appliances are switched off, residents should leave one light switched on to see when the power comes back on.

People should keep well clear of fall-

en powerlines and contact 132 099 as soon as possible. In a life-threatening situation, always call 000.

Other advice to prepare for an emergency includes keeping torches and lanterns readily accessible with fresh batteries, having access to a phone that doesn’t need electricity – such as a mobile phone or phone with a cord – and keeping mobile phones charged and, where possible, the internet active.

Husqvarna Spring Specials

RATEPAYERS are about to receive an apology for a misleading article in the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s official newsletter Peninsula-Wide.

The article stated that shire rates would rise 5.9 per cent but omitted to say the municipal charge would rise by $20.

CEO Michael Kennedy said the mistake had not been “picked up” and an apology would be printed in the newsletter’s next edition.

Dr Kennedy was responding to a question from Gary Howard, of Dromana, about whether the CEO or the mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, had “correctly advised the ratepayer community of the annual rate increase”.

“The rate increase is not 5.9 per cent but is 5.9 per cent plus a $20 increase in the municipal charge, which is the equivalent of a rate in the dollar increase of 7.73 per cent,” Mr Howard said.

National award for Yabby’s pinot banking

Western Port

THE first pinot noir made from vines growing on a small section of Yabby Lake Vineyard at Tuerong has won a top national award.

The win by Yabby Lake Block 1 pinot noir 2012 was the first time in its 52-year history that a pinot noir has taken out the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy.

“We are humbled and thrilled to be part of this special honour roll of Australian wine and accept the award on behalf of all the early pioneers of pinot noir in this country,” winemaker Tom Carson said.

“It is an exciting endorsement of not only our belief in the calibre of our special site but also what the variety is capable of on the Mornington Peninsula as a whole – a region with less than a 40-year history growing pinot noir.”

The vineyard produced 3836 bottles of the Block 1 pinot noir from grapes grown on a small parcel of land in its northern corner.

A single-vineyard chardonnay won three trophies at the Royal Melbourne Wine Awards in 2011.

The Block 1 pinot noir 2012 was the first made since the block program began in 2008 and will be released on Monday 28 October along with a pinot noir from block two and a Block 1 Chardonnay 2012.

Yabby Lake was established by the Kirby family in 1998 and is headed by Mr Carson, who is chief winemaker and general manager.

He said the award was “testament to the vision and commitment of the Kirby family and the small and dedicated Yabby Lake team”.

“The Kirbys’ uncompromising approach to site selection and planting in the early days, and their support and faith in the team ever since has allowed us the very best opportunity to craft wines of remarkable quality and character.”

Wine win: Yabby Lake Vineyard winemaker Tom Carson accepts the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for Yabby Lake Vineyard’s 2012 Block 1 pinot noir.

THE music of the entertainer once known as Cat Stevens remains a big drawcard.

Cat Stevens, known as Yusuf Islam since converting to Islam, periodically returns to the stage, although not as often as other performers who provide audiences with the songs he once renounced.

Ron Vincent of Rosebud (pictured) will be presenting his Cat Stevens tribute show to help raise money for a new CFA building at Shoreham.

Similar in looks to Cat Stevens, Vincent says “the music is me trying to recreate the feeling of the original recordings”.

“It’s a cross between the lighter sounds of 1969-70 and the bigger sound of the mid-’70s with his full band and the Magic Cat tour. We’re channelling Cat Stevens in his heyday.”

At the concert on Saturday 9 November, organised by Shoreham Community Association and Shoreham Tennis Club, Vincent will be backed by Drake Equation. The support act will be one of Red Hill Primary School’s rock bands with Shoreham talents Harley Blake and the Machin Sisters.

The concert starts at 6.30pm at Shoreham CFA in Byrnes Rd and will start with a tapas and finger food dinner with those attending taking

a share plate. Tickets are available at Shoreham Post Office: $30 adult, $10 child. Details from Linda McLeish, 5989 8914.

Search for most loveable pet MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has launched a “most loveable pet” picture competition as part of the coming Peninsula Pet Expo.

Peninsula pet owners are being encouraged to take a photo of themselves with their pets and enter the competition via the shire’s website.

The major prize is a family pass to SeaWorld, Wet’n’Wild, and Movie World, plus accommodation for two nights at SeaWorld Nara resort.

Entries for the competition close at 5pm on 15 November, with the winners to be announced on the main stage at the expo.

The mayor Cr Lynn Bowden encouraged all peninsula pet owners to visit the pet expo.

“There’ll be so much for families to see and do at the free expo,” Cr Bowden said.

“Join us for the cat show and judging, cow

milking and farm animal displays, Jack Russell terrier racing, the miniature pony show and more.

“Bring your pet and enter a number of competitions such as best dressed pet, largest pet, smallest pet, and pet of the year.”

The expo is from 9am-3pm on Sunday 24 November at Village Green, Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times.

For details about the most loveable pet competition and full terms and conditions, visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au An entry form must be submitted with the photo.

Projects win as record goes in book

By Chris Brennan THREE Western Port community projects won their categories at the 2013 Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Tidy Towns Awards.

Hastings Community House won the community action leadership award (for a town with a population or 3000 and below), Western Port Secondary College won the litter prevention award, and St Joseph’s Primary School in Crib Point won the gift fund prize for its mangrove regeneration project.

Wangaratta was named Victorian Tidy Town of the year at an award ceremony held this month in Wycheproof, winner of the 2012 Victorian Tidy Town of the Year, while Hastings and Rye fell just short after being named as two of only six finalists in the major award category.

Hastings was named Victorian Tidy Town of the Year in 2003 and Mornington took out the honour in 2011.

The Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Tidy Towns – Sustainable Communities Awards celebrate positive actions taken by communities in regional Victoria to protect and enhance the environment.

The awards have grown from being an anti-litter campaign to encompass initiatives as diverse as preserving heritage, saving water and energy, and community action and leadership.

Hastings Community House won the community action leadership after setting a Guinness World Record for a project that culminated in the creation of 1768.8-metre long toy snake.

The project brought together 16 Western Port schools, home-bound

elderly residents, nursing home residents and many other “enthusiastic individuals”, with participants knitting and sewing segments that were then joined together and stuffed to form the snake.

Materials were dropped off to homebound residents and the finished work later collected, while residents in nursing homes worked together to produce their sections.

After the record was set, the snake was broken down again to produce comfort toys for children and draft stoppers for residents.

Western Port Secondary College in Hastings won the litter prevention award after students formed a group to tackle rubbish in the school and township.

The students conducted a litter and bin audit along High St and weighed and categorised what they found. The group determined that, to decrease litter, bins needed to be placed where most litter was found.

Following consultation with Mornington Peninsula Shire, bins along the main shopping strip were relocated to more appropriate locations and the result was a visible reduction in litter.

Litter was also a problem on school grounds, with waste being removed from bins by ravens and ibis.

The environment group consulted other college students and found the problem was due to the type of bins used. Students disliked pushing rubbish through rubber circular tops and were reluctant to touch bins they considered dirty. The group researched various bins and recommended the purchase of pedal-operated wheelie

Record-breaking effort: Hastings Community House last week received official confirmation of its Guinness World Record for creating the world’s longest toy snake, which measured 1768.8 metres, a project that also saw the organisation win the community action leadership award at the 2013 Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Tidy Towns Awards.

bins, which proved a great success.

St Joseph’s won the gift fund prize for a mangrove regeneration project that started in 2011.

The school was keen to get involved in local action that would benefit students and the community of Western Port. Pupils became involved in harvesting, propagating and replanting white mangroves in various regions at the north of Western Port.

The project has gone from strength to strength, with three schools now

assisting in mangrove regeneration efforts – St Mary’s in Williamstown, St Macartans in Mornington and Dromana Secondary School, and there are plans to expand even further.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Lynn Bowden congratulated the category winners and finalists.

“We’re very proud of all of the local projects nominated for awards this year, and we sincerely congratulate our three winners – Hastings Community House, Western Port Secondary and St

Joseph’s Primary School as well as all finalists,” she said.

Cerberus Ward councillor David Garnock said the efforts of those involved in the winning projects showed how helping protect and enhance the environment was critical in building community spirit.

“All local finalists put in a great amount of effort to these community projects, and it’s a great result for passionate people and groups involved to be recognised at statewide awards.”

Anti-tip group honoured A NEW Mornington Peninsula environment group and one of the region’s veteran activists have been honoured at Environment Victoria’s annual Community Environmental Recognition Awards.

Peninsula Preservation Group was rewarded for its campaign to oppose the planned rubbish tip in an old quarry at Dromana, which was killed off earlier in the month.

Environment Victoria was particularly impressed by PPG member Kelly Winsor’s idea to organise a human “No tip” sign formed by more than 1000 people at Hillview Reserve in Dromana in August.

Ms Winsor used social media to recruit people from the peninsula and elsewhere. The sign was photographed and filmed by a volunteer pilot and photographer as well as Channel 7, and featured in The News.

PPG gathered more than 22,000 signatures opposing the quarry tip for paper and online petitions, made more than 750 anti-tip signs (which residents displayed in Dromana, Red Hill, Arthurs Seat and further afield), ran meetings, lobbied politicians, contacted local and Melbourne media outlets, and used social media effectively.

Brian Cuming of Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council was honoured for more than four decades of work.

The council was formed in 1971 to oppose further industrialisation of Western Port.

Environment Victoria said Dr Cuming, 85, of Hastings, had worked tirelessly to protect Western Port, the

A metal sculpture by Somers artist Paul Mutimer was auctioned for $3500 and Somers primary’s principal David Ingham said 2000-3000 people had attended the fair.

“We’ll be installing air-conditioning in the main school building and buy extra computers, books and equipment for the photography class,” he said.

“The fair provides the school with things the children wouldn’t normally get. It is money raising, but we see it as a good community event and ourselves as part of the Somers community.”

Visitors flood navy training base

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

More than 15,000 visitors flocked through the gates at Cerberus last Sunday, well up on the 5000-7000 guests recorded for previous events.

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

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

ceremonial sunset parade.

Cerberus commanding officer Captain Katherine Richards said the open day provided an ideal opportunity for members of the public to gain an insight into life in the military.

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

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

Pupils had the chance to chat with pilot Lieutenant Jordan Taylor, who attended Balnarring Primary School and Flinders Christian Community College before joining the navy as a direct entry pilot in 2004.

The lieutenant told pupils of his experiences in the United States where he was predominately

employed for search and rescue and natural disaster response as well as a secondary role targeting migrant and narcotic smuggling operations into south Texas.

He was awarded a US Coast Guard commendation medal for a rescue conducted during Hurricane Ike. Cerberus is one of the largest employers on the Mornington Peninsula, with a staff of about 800.

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

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

Chamber plea to keep an unused $45k

By Keith Platt HASTINGS Chamber of Commerce is hoping the new federal government will let it keep $45,000 received for the Renew Hastings program when Labor was running the country.

The chamber was unable to spend all the money within the time frame specified by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and has been told to hand back the balance.

In the meantime, the new Coalition government has split the DEEWR into two new departments, Education and Employment.

The $50,000 grant was received by the chamber in April but it was unable to get Renew Hastings underway before the June cutoff.

The chamber is hoping Flinders MP Greg Hunt can get the new department to agree to it keeping the remaining $45,000: the chamber says it spent $5000 “initiating the program”.

Renew Hastings was aimed at providing vacant shops under “licence to access agreements” to artists and community groups.

The shops would be maintained un-

til they became commercially viable or were redeveloped.

In July last year, chamber president Lisa Dixon, who operates Dominion Hill Gifts in Hastings, said the program’s key elements included:  People would stay in a shop for just 30 days.  There would be blanket public liability insurance with occupiers paying $20 a week.  Landlords are protected contractually.

On Monday she said receiving the money in April and spending by June had presented “a pretty impossible time frame”.

“It’s hard to get landlords and [real estate] agents on side,” Ms Dixon said.

“We are working to get in touch with the [new] department through Greg Hunt’s office.”

Ms Dixon said three shops had been used by schools and U3A for static displays of artwork and promotional material.

There were at least 20 vacant shops at the time the government was asked to finance the Renew Hastings program.

Hunt bloodied in climate change brawl COMMENT

By David Harrison THE first weeks of the Abbott government have not been easy for its Environment Minister Greg Hunt, the federal MP for Flinders.

His first major duty was to terminate the Climate Commission and sack its chief, Professor Tim Flannery, as Coalition policy required.

Since then the likeable Mr Hunt has been assailed by questions about the new government’s policy on the carbon tax – it will be replaced by a market-based scheme, so-called Direct Action – and criticism from home and abroad about the policy’s effect.

He also found himself defending the epiphany of his leader, Prime Minister Tony Abbott, on climate change as the recent federal election loomed.

Respected Guardian columnist George Monbiot wrote that “Tony Abbott has merely switched from denying global warming to denying the need to act on it”.

The then Opposition Leader, Monbiot wrote in the British daily, was following “a familiar climate change script – deny, then defer, then delay, then despair.

“His Direct Action policy is designed to create a semblance of policy, in the certain knowledge that it will fail to achieve its objectives,” Monbiot wrote.

In the past few days, Mr Hunt had to go into battle for his leader, arguing that Mr Abbott had expressed “clear support for the science” of climate change. But Mr Hunt then reached for a novel source of support – Wikipe-

dia – in a tense exchange with a BBC radio journalist about Mr Abbott’s climate change beliefs.

Mr Abbott had accused the United Nations’ climate chief Christiana Figueres of “talking through her hat” after she warned of increasing heatwaves and said bushfires would continue in intensity and frequency.

As fires raged across NSW, Ms Figueres warned: “We are really already paying the price of carbon. We are paying the price with wildfires, we

are paying the price with droughts.”

Mr Hunt, in an interview with the BBC’s Newshour current affairs program, warned it would be unwise to link the NSW fires with climate change.

“I looked up what Wikipedia said for example just to see what the rest of the world thought,” he said.

“And it opens up with the fact that bushfires in Australia are frequently occurring events during the hotter months of the year, large areas of land

are ravaged every year by bushfires, and that’s the Australian experience.”

Mr Hunt could have got this information from Professor Flannery, or just about anyone on the Crib Point train.

He had been questioned by Newshour journalist Razia Iqbal about Mr Abbott’s 2009 description of climate change as “absolute crap”.

After responding that “In Parliament our Prime Minister has expressed clear support for the science”, Mr Hunt was asked if this was still the PM’s view.

“Look, with great respect you can swear on international radio, you can invite me from Australia to do this, you can be profoundly rude, I’m happy to answer, but I’m not going to be sworn at,” Mr Hunt responded loftily, deftly redefining “crap” from a common euphemism to a crudity that never forms on his lips.

Those familiar with Mr Hunt’s interview technique know that “with respect” indicates his polite annoyance; “with great respect” denotes serious irritation and “with the greatest respect”, combined with the sincerest Hunt eyebrow angle, is designed to convey barely suppressed rage.

But his is an onerous task. Mr Hunt believes strongly in two things: firstly the reality of climate change and the need to rescue the environment from it; and secondly the paramount need for Cabinet solidarity. In Cabinet he sits among a gaggle of climate infidels, including, almost certainly, the Prime Minister.

Mr Hunt also believes in a third thing: that his ability to achieve a realistic climate policy can only be

achieved by being inside Cabinet.

Those who might be contemplating running a sweep on how long he can endure the infidels might as well terminate the venture now. Mr Hunt will last the distance.

The post-election rampant, reckless triumphalism and “we are the champions” attitude of some of his colleagues –their version of year 12 students’ muck-up day – will soon dissipate when the real business of sober debate and hard-nosed decision-making must start. It will be ministers other than Hunt who will blow out early.

But in maintaining Cabinet solidarity he faces decisions that will bruise his personal beliefs: handing “green” decisions to redneck premiers; approving coal ports inside the Great Barrier Reef; deciding whether to allow fracking for gas in Gippsland; okaying a mammoth container and coal port at Hastings (a subject for another day); and arguing climate change science with a bunch of free-range sceptics, to name but a few.

Mr Hunt’s portfolio has a strong moral overtone: climate change is, as Kevin Rudd said, one of the great moral issues of our time. The battle will weary but not daunt our local MP. Footnote: Ms Figueres appeared to modify her remarks about bushfires and climate change after a conversation with Mr Hunt. “I was pleased to hear from Minister Hunt that the Emission Reduction Fund allied to forestry measures and targets on renewable energy and energy efficiency will deliver their internationally agreed (carbon reduction) targets in a cost-effective manner,” she said.

Health network CEO to join Yooralla

By Mike Hast SHERENE Devanesen, Peninsula Health’s CEO of 13 years, has resigned to become chief operating officer of Yooralla Society of Victoria.

Dr Devanesen starts at Yooralla early next year and Peninsula Health has begun looking for her replacement.

The health network advertised for a new CEO in The Age last weekend, unusually naming Dr Devanesen in the advert and praising her work.

Peninsula Health staff were told of her resignation about two weeks ago in a note from network board chair Nancy Hogan.

Dr Devanesen has worked in the Victorian Public Health Service for 25 years, all but one

with Peninsula Health as well as Frankston and Rosebud hospitals before the network was founded in 1995.

Ms Hogan stated that Dr Devanesen had decided to join the not-for-profit disability sector as it “fits with her philosophy of life”.

She stated that under Dr Devanesen, Peninsula Health had enhanced the range and quality of services, developed into a “substantial teaching organisation”, integrated the network’s health care services, and enhanced its “physical facilities”.

Dr Devanesen has represented the health sector on state and national bodies, been president of the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators, been a surveyor with the Australian Council on Healthcare

Standards, and helped the Hong Kong government reform parts of its medical workforce after the SARS outbreak (severe acute respiratory syndrome), which killed 775 people in 2002-03, mostly in Hong Kong.

Dr Devanesen is chairperson of Wesley Mission Victoria.

Yooralla was founded in 1918 as a preschool for children with a disability and became one of the state’s leading disability care organisations. It is based in Blackburn South and has centres in South Melbourne and Brooklyn.

Climate fire future not news on peninsula ANALYSIS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A 2001 report provided a framework for community action.

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

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

Arguments can be put up that the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Besides, anyone willing to circumnavigate Australia in a tiny plane isn’t lacking in a sense of adventure.

counter-clockwise around Australia, and then back home again.

“We had clear and sunny weather all the journy so far” said pilot Perdu, a surgeon by trade. “But today’s conditions were difficult.

As luck would have it, this event was the only scheduled one planned for our trip, so we didn’t want to miss it.”

Under the cover of a hangar at Tyabb Aero Club, they were treated to wine and cheese as they discussed their adventure with fellow pilots. Their plane sits in the hangar and is admired not because it is large but for the opposite

reason. The Dynamic the men pilot is described as a “light sports plane” and seems a bad choice of vehicle for long distance flying.

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

The men had a tour of the Old Aeroplane Company before staying the night in Tyabb.

Then it was off to Melbourne, Tasmania and then up the east coast.

Why do it?

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

Surfer’s life in and out of the water

By Keith Platt HEROES and villains are standard fare for documentaries, and surfer Wayne Lynch comes out on the side of the angels in the latest production by director Craig Griffin.

Griffin’s Uncharted Waters follows Lynch’s surfing life, one that has given him a status way above many surfers who have won world titles or ridden monster waves.

Brought up on the west coast waves around his hometown Lorne, Lynch burst onto the scene and showed what it was possible to make a surfboard do when filmed for the 1969 surf movie Evolution.

Still in his early teens, the movie showed Lynch surfing the then relatively unknown waves of Bali with a style and grace that flowed but was also seen as radical.

He basically owned the backhand re-entry and cool approach to powerful waves breaking on shallow coral reefs.

His filmic exploits also gave exposure to the exotic delights waiting for Australian surfers in Bali – now as familiar to them as Noosa or Narrabeen, despite differences in culture and language.

Lynch’s public persona was enhanced by a reticence for publicity, a love–hate relationship with the surf industry, drugs, early interest in conserving the environment, going into hiding during the Vietnam War and, later, spending time with Aborigines in Arnhem Land.

After a bout of malaria in the 1980s and being told he would never surf

Bottom turn: Wayne Lynch photographed by Aaron Chang during filming for Craig Griffin’s Uncharted Waters.

again, Lynch returned to competitive surfing to win the Coke and Surfabout contests.

More than 40 years after that first surf movie by Paul Witzig, Lynch is once again being presented as an enigma on the large screen.

Two years in the making, Uncharted Waters – “the personal history of Wayne Lynch” – had its Australian

premier at this year’s Melbourne Film Festival in July and is coming to Sorrento and Karingal in November.

Kent Stannard, of Blairgowrie, who runs surf clothing brand White Tag, contributed toward the cost of the film as well as bringing together his friends, Lynch and director Griffen.

Griffen directed a documentary about footballer Ben Cousins and was

executive producer for the cult surf film First Love and, before that, Not Quite Hollywood.

Stannard has enlisted Lynch’s help for his not-for-profit Tag For Life which, with the CSIRO and Melbourne Aquarium, investigates the life of white sharks.

A large part of the research involves catching (Stannard calls it shark wran-

gling) and then tagging sharks with transmitters for satellite tracking.

“Wayne is involved with me on the white shark project and has had a long fascination with them.

“Despite a couple of close encounters with them in the water, he is extremely interested in conservation of the species, while readily admitting he is scared of them.”

Part of Uncharted Waters was shot on a white shark research trip with a CSIRO scientist.

“Wayne’s role is to help spread the word among the surfing community that these animals play a critical role in the wellbeing of the marine environment and deserve their conservation status as a protected species. The shark features as his totem,” Stannard said.

He said other parts of Lynch’s life explored in Uncharted Waters included his family, nearly losing his daughter in a car accident, a heart attack “and a downward spiral dealing with the modern commercial world, how crowds on the coast have resulted in him surfing very little and how sailing has taken over from surfing as his real passion”.

Uncharted Waters is being screened at Village Cinemas in Karingal on Wednesday 20 November and at the Sorrento cinema on Friday 22 November.

WHAT’S NEW

A legal firm that prides itself in a fresh approach BAYSIDE Solicitors is a dynamic law firm based in Frankston. The firm was established in 1998 and has grown significantly, which has allowed a high degree of specialisation within a practice that handles most areas of law.

The original principal solicitors of the firm were Ashley Tickner and Alysia Mein. The firm was created with the intention of practising law in a different way to established law firms in Victoria.

The original business plan has not changed and thousands of people have benefited from the representation that the firm has provided over the years.

One of the significant differences with Bayside Solicitors is that its practitioners, as barristers and solicitors, appear in as many of their court cases as they can.

Many other law firms brief barristers as sub-contractors to run the case when it proceeds to court. The advantage of the Bayside Solicitors way is there is no doubling up of legal personnel involved in the case, and also the solicitor who takes the instructions and draws the documents is generally the one who is arguing the case in court for their client. As a by-product of performing its own advocacy, the firm’s solicitors develop experience.

A further unusual characteristic of the firm is that it continues to charge clients based on court-approved cost scales. In an era when most firms have moved away from scale costing and effectively set their own hourly rates, solicitors at Bayside Solicitors continue to use government-approved cost scales. At times, this is less than half of what other firms with similar experience charge. It is a demonstration of the firm’s efficiency and cost-effectiveness that its litigation matters continue to be costed on this basis.

Over the years, Bayside Solicitors has taken on some very difficult cases, some of which have lasted many months and years. The culture of the firm is such that it prides itself on its dedication to clients and its tenacity to take on difficult matters and see them to a successful result. The attitude continues with new staff that are carefully selected to work in the firm. All of this leads to a much stronger legal profession in Frankston, and more widely the Momington Peninsula.

How much does your caravan weigh and what is the tow ball weight?

By Ron Gunn of Utow Caravans MOST of us know the tare weight of the caravan and the towball weight from the brochures when it was bought.

The brochures may only be an indication of what the caravan weighs when empty and possibly without the extras ordered.

We know the brochure weight and what is stamped on the compliance plate, but all of our pop tops come with awnings, air conditioning, TV/ DVD, microwave, TV aerial plus we then put gas into the gas bottles, fill the water tank and place chairs, table plus electrical appliances and cutlery/crockery into the caravan.

This sadly adds about another 200kg to the tare weight.

Our customers then put in their clothes and basic food needs and the ATM is almost reached.

This also puts additional weight on the tow ball.

We now have a piece of equipment that can measure the tow ball weight as we cannot allow a caravan to go out of our yard if the ATM or ball

weight exceeds the tow bar or vehicle limits.

We did some comparison tow ball weights and came up with a huge variation on what the manufacturers said.

Some were 10kg lighter and some were up to 50kg heavier than what was on the sales brochure. This can mean the difference between being told to unhook (or redistribute the weight) or, worst case scenario, missing out on insurance.

U-Tow Caravans can do

servicing for your caravan and we are now qualified to do test and tag on your electrical appliances. We also have a wide range of Caravan Accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.

It was a five-round war with Maslen and his opponent trading big hits and both ending the bout exhausted after giving it their all.

Maslen has been training at Somerville Martial Arts Centre

since 2009 and began his training in Zen Do Kai. After a short time he also trained in BJC Muay Thai and found had a strong desire to compete.

The team at Somerville Martial Arts Centre has been behind him all the way.

Maslen has worked very hard to achieve as well as work at whatever his coaches put in front of him.

Nathan Alison has been Maslen’s primary coach over the past few years and been instrumental in honing his skills.

Everyone who knows Maslen realises the incredible effort he has put in and the sacrifices he, his family and girlfriend have had to make to help him get to this level.

Maslen is competing for a WKA title in Albury on 14 December.

You can train in Muay Thai for fitness, like most of the centre’s members, or compete like Maslen.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Local man charged with fare evasion, Frankston’s macabre discovery Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 November 1913.

AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs P. Cohen, P.M, and C. Williams, J.P., a young man, named T. Parrett, was charged with having taken a seat in a train without a ticket.

The stationmaster at Crib Point said that the defendant, when leaving the station on the 10th inst., gave him a weekend ticket which was out of date the day before. The defendant said that he had forgotten that his ticket was out of date, and when called back by the station master he had offered to pay excess. A fine of 15s with 12s 6d costs was imposed. *** CONSTABLE McCallum, of Frankston, received a report that the body of a child about a month old had been found on the beach about a mile from Frankston. He at once had the body conveyed to Frankston, where an examination showed what appeared to be the mark of a cord round the neck. The body appeared to have been in the water some time, and it is thought that the case was one of murder. *** WE learn that a huge bazaar is shortly to be held at Chelsea, in aid of the building fund of a Roman Catholic Church. Mr R. J. Burroughs is the secretary, and this alone should ensure success. Our readers are reminded of the great subdivisional sale of the Tyabb Park Estate, which will be held on Monday next, on the estate, adjoining the Tyabb railway

station. The sale will be conducted by Mr J. L. Parkes, of the firm of T. R. B. Morton and Son. *** A CLEARING sale of the stock, plant, furniture, &c., of the Barragunda Estate, near Cape Schanck, will be held on the estate on Thursday, 13th November, at 11 a.m., by Edward Trenchard and Co. Full particulars are advertised. *** IT is understood that the Federal Government has now definitely decided not to accede to the request of the Federal Fruit Commission, to authorise a delegation to go to London to pursue inquiries as to the marketing and selling of Australian fruit. *** BY advertisement in this issue it is notified that Edward Trenchard and Co. will sell by public auction, on the property near Cowes, Phillip Island, about 620 acres freehold land, also stock, plant, furniture, &c., on Friday, 14th November, under instructions from the executors of the late Mr P. Phelan. *** A BAZAAR and sale of gifts is advertised to take place at Langwarrin on Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons and evenings, 12th and 18th November. The opening ceremony will take place at 3 o’clock on the first named afternoon, by the Hon. A. Downward. The funds are to go towards the building of a new church.

The Mornington Schools’ excursion to Royal Park takes place on Wednesday week, 12th November. The special train will leave Mornington at 8.10 a.m., stopping at Moorooduc,

Mornington Junction, Langwarrin, and Frankston, arriving at Royal Park at 10.33 a.m., and will leave for the return journey at 6.15 p.m.

The defendant said that he had forgotten that his ticket was out of date, and when called back by the station master, he had offered to pay excess.

*** AN important land sale was held at Bittern on Saturday last, when 235 allotments immediately adjoining the naval base were offered. Only 28 blocks were sold, the reserve ranging from £12 10s to £25, the lots being cut into quarter acres. The sales totalled £531 10s. The bulk of the land was withdrawn from sale. *** ON Friday evening of last week In

company with Mr Jolly, of Frankston, Messrs C. Hunin of Kyabram. G. and E. Phillips, of Tatura, Barton, of Tocumwal (N.S.W.,) and Vawdon, St. Kilda, visited Frankston last week end, and each purchased a building allotment locally. This makes a total of 42 building allotments bought at Frankston and re-sold by Mr Jolly in the North-Eastern and Goulburn Valley districts of Victoria during this year. All the above sales to Mr Jolly were made by Messrs Brody and Mason on account of various local property owners. *** THE summer train service to Frankston and Mordialloc is to be improved with the adoption of the summer time table. *** MR H. C. Barclay, of Mornington Junction, informs us that he has disposed of his pure bred Jersey bull, Young Shenton. *** THE engagement is announced of Mr Alexander Howatson, Glenbuck, Queensland, second son of Mrs and the late Mr. James Howatson, Mount Derrimut, Victoria, and Miss Annie S., only daughter of Mr and Mrs Jas Grice, Moondah, Frankston. *** THE Hastings Church of England bazaar, which is to be held in the church hall on Friday and Saturday, November 7 and 8, promises to be a great success. The energetic secretary and her committee have everything in working order, and an enjoyable time is promised patrons. *** LOVERS of high class music should

not miss the concert which will be given by some of Melbourne’s leading artists, including the famous elocution- ist, Mr Payne, the Austral Quartette, and many others. The entertainment will be held in the Mornington Me- chanics’ Institute, and the proceeds it will go towards the Convent school prizes. The programme is exceptionally long, and a most enjoyable evening is assured. *** AMONG those who contributed to the programme at the complimentary social to Cr Lloyd at Langwarrin on Thursday evening was Mr Sullivan, son of Sergeant-Major Sullivan, so well and favorably known throughout the whole district. Mr Sullivan, who is an elocutionist of no mean order, received a great reception, and his items were listened to with rapt attention, Mr Sullivan is always ready to help in local affairs, and the assistance he gives at the various functions is of great benefit to all concerned. *** AT a meeting of St. McCartan’s Church committee, held at the Presbytery, Mornington, on Monday evening last, it was decided to hold a bazaar in the Mechanics’ Institute on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd January, 1914, for the purpose of reducing the debt on the church. The matter was taken up with great earnestness, and before the close of the meeting the energetic secretary (Mr Wheelan) had received £12 in donations. The various stall holders were also appointed, and there is every indication of the bazaar being a gigantic success.

Tyabb Football Club – the mystery photograph WHEN Ron Benton passed away late last year, Western Port News printed a story on the Benton family. At the time, Ron’s son Stuart handed me a box of old photographs, some of which were used to accompany the story. Apart from family photos, the collection also included some school photos and several of old football teams.

The photograph printed above intrigued me: the lack of uniforms, contrasting with the well-presented officials, and the grim appearances

of both groups. The only notations on the back were that it was Tyabb Football Club and that the picture had originally belonged to Thelma Benton.

I provided Hastings Football Club historian Vic Jeremiah with a copy anticipating that he would be able to provide the year and perhaps identify some of the players. Vic had never seen the photograph before but was sure the historian at the Tyabb Football Club, Doug Dyall, would

be able to shed some light on the matter. It turned out to be a photograph Doug had not seen before either, so the mystery remains. Can any of our readers put a year to the photograph or identify any of the players or officials? According to Doug, the first team to play at Tyabb took the field in 1897. If it isn’t that team in the photo, it would have to be one from soon afterwards.

HISTORY

Collins and Port Phillip’s ‘First Fleet’

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ill-fated settlement: Artist Rick Clark’s painting of how HMS Calcutta and the transport Ocean might have looked in Port Phillip with Arthurs Seat prominent. Lieutenant-Colonel David Collins sailed from England with 300 convicts, their military guards and 18 free settlers, landing at Sullivan’s Bay, near what is now Sorrento, on 16 October 1803.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Flinders Island.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

by London was totally unfit for use.

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

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

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

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

convicts, but perhaps myself, from their attacks”.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Creating memories at Manyung ACCOMPLISHED painter Wendy Grace is the current featured artist at Manyung at Sorrento Gallery.

Her soft-edged shimmers of colour and shape evoke imaginary vistas of varying hues – sometimes reminiscent of an opaque view of an underwater garden or perhaps staring at foliage through a raindrop-daubed window.

The exhibition is entitled Memory Traces and also features the bold, colourful and often-whimsical works of Monica Adams who has enjoyed travel, absorbing influences from regions including a bohemian sojourn in Paris.

The exhibition is on until 14 November at Manyung at Sorrento, 113A Ocean Beach Rd. Details: 9787 2953 or manyunggallery. com.au

On show: Above, Papillion by Wendy Grace. Below, Floral Dress by Monica Adams.

Me versus ‘The Man’ part two

By Stuart McCullough SAMUEL Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In the unlikely event that I should ever write the story of Waiting for the Technical Staff to Respond to My Support Request, it’s unlikely that I’ll be asked to travel to Stockholm to pick up an award.

Until now, everything had run so smoothly. I had given myself completely to the “Orange” corporation and I had enjoyed the ability to download music, movies and so forth without having to leave my couch. Suddenly, and for the first time, I realised the internet might actually serve some kind of purpose. That is, of course, until it all went so horribly wrong.

Having eventually succeeded in finding a phone number for Orange, I waited on hold for what seemed to be an eternity only to be told that something was wrong. This, of course, was the very reason for my phone call and might neatly be described as “an overwhelming statement of the obvious”. As is so often now the way with global commerce, my phone call was relayed to another country solely for the purpose of something that I had figured out while sitting on the couch. Having flunked the call centre test, it seems my problem was of such gravity that it was forwarded to the awesome and not a little inspiring “Technical support team”.

I didn’t know how the call centre would alert the TST to my problem. I’d like to think they have a special spotlight that they shine into the night sky, at which point they drop whatever it is they’re doing and go directly to the Bat-cave, but this seems unlikely. Let’s be honest, technical support staff don’t conceal their true identities and you don’t need a Bat-signal to get their attention. Most likely the sound of a Slurpee machine being switched on would do the trick. Whatever the technique for summoning them up, within 48 hours I received an email from a member of the elite technical support team.

For the sake of anonymity, I have chosen to refer to my technical support adviser as “Dr Peter Venkman”. To be honest, I could have gone for any member of the original Ghostbusters crew and, at a push, maybe even the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, but there was an air of detached wryness about the emails I received from my support adviser that makes Dr Pete a suitable nom de plume. He began his email with a statement of such profound irony that it can only be applauded – “Welcome to Customer Support” it began. That this message was by email and delivered to my inbox at three o’clock in the morning means that traditional notions of customer support have been wholly abandoned. The days of someone turning up to your house are over.

Emails in the dead of night are the new normal when it comes to servicing your customers.

PAGE 54

Western Port News 29 October 2013

Dr Venkman then got right to the heart of the problem: “I understand that you purchased video Confessions and after delivery you received a message saying that there is a payment problem, even though you have sufficient funds in that debit card.” Let me say right now that Confessions is, in fact, an episode from the last series of Breaking Bad and not something that should be preceded by the words: “Danielle Steele presents.” The email then continued with the grammatically mystifying statement, “I sense how eager concerned you are…”. You’re darn tootin’ right. I am eager concerned beside myself.

The email went on to say, “Please contact the fraud or security department of your financial institution to find out why your card is being rejected”. This was something I’d already done several days earlier; a fact I made clear when I filled out the support request form on which Dr Venkman had based the rest of the email. The bank had told me there was no problem at its end and that the issue most likely rested between Orange and its bank. Under those circumstances, Dr Pete’s response was of no use at all and was more in the nature of an instruction as to one of the countless techniques that exist for sucking eggs. But rather than keep these thoughts to myself, I decided to write back.

“Dear Dr Venkman. Thanks for your email.

From this point on, though, perhaps we can refer to the purchase as Breaking Bad rather than Confessions, which, frankly, sounds misleadingly pornographic. I have spoken to the bank and it thinks the problem is at your end. The best thing to do would be to run the transaction again.”

I’m the first to admit that the email was a desperate attempt to appeal to logic. It failed utterly.

The response I received from Dr Venkman was to the effect that I should consider changing banks. As responses go, it was completely useless. When I pointed out that this was oddly back to front, all communication ceased. At first I was mystified, maybe even a little hurt. But that’s just the way it goes with customer service.

It has sometimes been said that particular companies are “too big to fail”. It seems that some may also be too big to respond. Orange is such a hugely, obesely successful company that it seems unable to comprehend any problem that might be of its own making. I later received an email containing the preposterous claim that it would “value” my feedback and asking me to fill in a questionnaire. Having provided it, there has been nothing but eerie silence since. After a time, my account mysteriously started to work again and I managed to see the final episodes of Breaking Bad. They were graphic, harrowing and emotionally exhausting. A lot like customer service. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance SPRINGSTEEN & I (Shock), the music documentary celebrating a rock ‘n’ roll icon, will be released November 1. The film has already enjoyed a highly successful theatrical release, grossing more than $2.5 million from cinemas in 50 countries since July.

Working with the filmmakers, Springsteen fans have helped create a film that reflects their personal experiences as they explore what this timeless artist has meant to their lives, against a backdrop of amazing performance footage.

The documentary features rare material even die-hard fans have not laid eyes on, including previously unreleased footage of Springsteen performing classics such as Dancing in the Dark, Born in the USA, I’m On Fire, Born to Run, The River, Thunder Road and Spirits in the Night.

A bonus feature includes six tracks from Bruce Springsteen’s 2012 Hyde Park performance: Thunder Road, Because the Night, Shackled & Drawn and We Are Alive, Twist and Shout and I Saw Her Standing There accompanied by Paul McCartney sharing vocals. Available Blue Ray & DVD. www.shock.com.au *** AUSTRALIA’S largest music festival, the Tamworth Country Music Festival, will feature one of the biggest line-up’s in the festival’s history next year, with a full program of artists confirmed to perform at venues across the city over 10 days.

Festival organisers are anticipating record crowds for the 2014 event.

Fans can expect to be entertained day and night, with more than 800 performers and 4,000 shows at 120 different venues.

Two of the superstars of Australian country music, Adam Harvey and Troy Cassar-Daley, will officially kick off the festival, headlining the opening concert in Toyota Park on Friday 17 January.

The festival will also feature the Lifeline Concert at the Tamworth

Town Hall on Saturday January 18, commencing at 7.30pm, with artists including Allan Caswell, Paul Costa, Chad Morgan, Lou Bradley, Luke O’Shea and Warren H Williams set to perform among many others, including yours truly who will MC the event.

In 2014, the festival will pay tribute to Australian icon and country

music legend Slim Dusty through a number of special activities. Festival manager Gavin Flanagan said: “We’re expecting 2014 to be bigger and better than ever. The festival will run from Friday 17 January to Sunday 26 January.”

For more information, visit www. tcmf.com.au ***

FORTY years into a long and successful career, Allan Caswell (pictured) is having one of his best years ever. At the 2013 Australian Independent Country Music Awards in Mildura, he picked up the award for album of the year (It’s a Country Song). The title track also won him the awards for male vocal of the year and single of the year.

His early years were spent writing and performing jingles before he wrote On the Inside, the theme to the TV series Prisoner. The song was recorded by Lynne Hamilton and became a top 10 hit. The song was also recorded by Patti Page for the US market.

Caswell found himself on the charts again in 1983 with his song about the 1983 America’s Cup Challenge, called The Australia’s Cup. Caswell will perform at Hickinbotham’s Winery, Dromana, Sunday 15 December.

Details: www.allancaswell.com *** SINGER Pink will release her live DVD filmed in Melbourne on November 22. The Truth About Love: Live from Melbourne was filmed at Rod Laver Arena in July. It will be released two weeks before it appears on the shelves in the USA. Pink played a record-breaking 18 shows at Rod Laver Arena to more than 250,000 fans. *** BLACK Sabbath will release a live album and DVD recorded at their recent concerts in Melbourne.

The reunion tour, which began in Australia, will be featured on the DVD Gathered in Their Masses, out November 26 (Vertigo). The album was recorded April 29 and May 1 in Melbourne, and features three of the original Sabbath members, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony lommi and Geezer Butler. Tommy Clufetos (Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent) toured on drums. *** IN 1994, The Beatles’ Live at the BBC was released to worldwide acclaim - hitting number one in the UK and number three in the US, and selling

two weeks ago. Had I been Louie (the fly) on a wall, I could have amassed enough material for 50 columns. Still, like all conferences, the real action begins at night, so I’m told. *** WE played many games as kids other than cricket and football in the street.

No iPhones, no cars, no television.

Relievo, a night game where two participants were elected, one to mind base, the other to locate the others, who disappear; count to 10 while they all scoot and hide. A pat on the back and you’re caught. Go to base, jail. If somebody sneaked back to base, put their foot in before being patted on the back and shouted “relievo!” those in base were free.

Took half the night generally, especially if I was one of the suckers looking or guarding the base. Hidey, another form of relievo; again I could never find anyone. Doctors & nurses, if the older kids had their say and no parents were about. I enjoyed being the patient, particularly if the doctor was a female. My first testosterone hit?

Damn, I forgot to tell the psychologist *** I HAVE often written about my input to the defence of our country by way of my five slogging months as a Nasho in the Navy in 1955, mainly from a satirical point of view, assuming

readers can understand my warped satire (I’m regularly advised they have no idea). So as a codicil, I should explain that I really appreciated those five months, as a basis for the many advantages to follow. It took time, about another 20 years, but eventually it made a man of me - most of the time anyway. Mateship may sound corny, but it was real and a lasting fond memory; a learning experience, in spite of class distinctions and gestapo officers. *** IF you don’t smoke, gamble, drink alcohol or watch porn movies, you indulge yourself as an upstanding person, correct? I worked part time as a supervisor for the TAB and other totalisator companies for 37 years at race tracks all over Victoria, met thousands of gamblers, gaining some insight into the gamblers’ psyche. A small percentage lose more than they can afford and in trying to recoup their losses, only succeed in worsening their situation, in rare cases destroying a marriage, or themselves. Some smoke 50 cigarettes a day, destroy their lungs; some drink too much liquor, destroy their livers; and some are sex maniacs with no apparent after effects.

But on this subject of gambling, they (the upstanding) go way overboard.

For every sad gambler, there’s another

100 who bet within their means as entertainment, be it on horses, football, bingo or the lotteries. Men and women, young and old, pensioners, the rich and workers alike. Some spend $250 to see Bruce Springsteen, others $20 a week for the pleasure of it all and an occasional win. It’s not evil.

Hey, come the Spring Carnival and gambling is OK, fun, sport? *** I’M intrigued by former Xavier College boy Bill Shorten’s support as the new Labor leader. Says Billy boy: “We are on track to have more women lined up in positions of influence and importance.” What does he mean, and why? I didn’t blame him for backing Rudd recently, but clearly he was right up there with Julia in stabbing Rudd initially and as a party to cutting single mothers pensions.

They play these ridiculous games: right and left factions, caucus power, or more importantly, who cares? Bill is right, Tanya is left, and everything is waxed. They say he’s done some good work for his union members and the National Disability Insurance Scheme but for us, he sprung up like topsy and unless it’s my memory, he’s done little else apart from looking nice and playing the popularity card.

True, Tony got elected by doing nothing but he had help from News

By Gary Turner more than five million copies within six weeks. The new companion to The Beatles’ first BBC collection, On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, is available now for digital pre-order exclusively on iTunes.

On Air will be released on Friday November 8. The Mastered for iTunes LP includes a 48-page booklet. On Air’s 63 tracks, none of which overlap with The Beatles’ first BBC release, include 37 previously unreleased performances and 23 previously unreleased recordings of in-studio banter and conversation between the band’s members and their BBC radio hosts.

Live at the BBC was assembled by George Martin in 1994.

A Grain of Salt I WORRY about psychologists. Years ago as a teenager (was I ever one?)

I fancied studying it at university; bought a book titled Psychology and Mental Health, read it a few times, but the thought of another year (year 12) to qualify to do an arts degree put me off in favour of love and adventure.

Bad decision; could have been rich.

A study of individuals’ minds in order to understand behavioural patterns, as distinct from psychiatry, which is fundamentally concerned with mental disorder, requiring a medical degree. Something like that.

What intrigues old codgers like me are the competing levels of explanation when it comes to understanding behaviour.

I went to one years ago. Had a bad habit and he fixed me up, temporarily?

Another was catching frogs, take them up on the Merri Creek bridge, tickle their bums until they jumped off; no frog damage done. Stopped my psychopathic tendencies.

Psychologists have far too much influence over our daily lives. Well, more infiltration than influence, I suppose. New research weekly based on some vague premise, behavioural nonsense much of it. No doubt, there are some good ones, but I’m yet to meet one.

They had a big convention in Cairns

By Cliff Ellen Limited. As for Bill’s “vision”, like Collingwood, I remain hopeful. His election over Anthony Albanese was touted as democratic. Strange democracy. A convoluted congregation deciding what looks right. Bill wants Labor to be “brave” in speaking up for the marginalised and struggling.

Good. We watch and wait. *** FORMER plain packaging health minister, attorney-general and longtime professional do-gooder Nicola Roxon calls Kevvy a “bastard”. Such a darling lady is sweet Nicola. Cigarette dear?... Apparently the “silent majority” is behind Derryn Hinch; kindly do not include me... Elvis and Johnny Cash copy bands are far from the original. Ditto Bill Shorten and Bob Hawke... Andrew Demetriou offered a place on the board of Crown Casino. Says Andy: “ I would like to be a contributor.” What? He’s doing it gratis?.. When I was a boy, I was told that anybody could become president. I’m beginning to believe it.

Doggies’ run machines hit tons PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON batting machines Ben Clements and Anthony Gapes were at their very best again on Saturday in Provincial cricket against Mt Eliza.

Gapes hit 102 and Clements made an unbeaten 129 as the Doggies amassed 4/273 against the Mounties.

Clements has smashed 242 runs in three matches this season at an average of 80, while Gapes hit two half-centuries in the opening two matches of the season and has more than 200 runs for the season.

It was a tough day for Mt Eliza bowlers. Tom

Baron was the pick of the attack, bowling 37 overs for a return of 2/96.

Evergreen Langwarrin left-hander and former Wedgewood medallist Danny Weare saved his side from an embarrassing afternoon against Rye. Weare came to the crease with the score at 3/59 and watched on as Andy Johnson and Jarryd Amalfi were dismissed for ducks. The Kangas were reeling at 5/64.

However, Weare, together with teenager Michael Edwards, took the score to 193 before he was dismissed for 102. Edwards went on to make 95, David Ross hit 49 and the tail wagged to lift the Kangas to 307.

Darren Groves bowled just 13 overs but

finished with the tidy figures of 4/27.

Simon McEvoy smashed 156 in the Second XI (his second ton this season) and former Seaford opening bowler Andy McMannis made his debut for the Kangas and snared 6/15.

Baxter is looking at an easy victory against Moorooduc.

The visitors got going with the bat, Dale Irving top-scoring with 80, Shane McComb getting 55 and Marc Uccello 33. They were bowled out for 287 in the 67th over.

The Ducs had to face the last 13 overs of the day and things didn’t go according to plan when the team lost 3/29. Adrian Mack claimed all three wickets in six overs, conceding just four runs.

The match between Heatherhill and Mt Martha looks evenly poised, the Hills batting first and making 175. Kristian Miller was the class player with the bat, top-scoring with 75.

Tim Bateman and Brett Wilkinson each claimed four wickets for the Reds.

Sorrento’s Nick Jewell top-scored in his side’s 9/253 against Peninsula Old Boys in the grand final rematch. Leigh Poholke scored 36. Neil Franks was the best of the Old Boys’ bowlers with 5/70, while Dylan O’Malley picked up 3/65.

In the final match of the round, Crib Point has set Long Island 206 for victory.

Eagles fly high as opener makes 101 DISTRICT

By IT Gully SOMERVILLE continues to enjoy a wonderful start to the District cricket season, scoring 6/276 against Ballam Park on Saturday.

Nicholas Marshall opened the batting for the Eagles and was still there at the end of the innings, making an unbeaten 101.

Justin Allsop also continued his impressive start to the season with 72 while Keith Burdett (23), Ben Delaney (34) and Andrew West (29) got starts.

The Knights shared the wickets around, six different bowlers claiming a scalp.

Pines appears to be in a spot of bother against Baden Powell.

The Piners won the toss and batted first, but lasted just 69 overs and were bowled out for 153.

Ricky Ramsdale top-scored with just 24, while Jeremy Weare was next best with 22.

Brendan Jovic was the best of the Baden Powell bowlers with 3/37, Nathan Rice claimed 2/33 and Mac Watson 2/14.

Shaun Foster was simply superb for Carrum against Seaford Tigers, but fell 14 runs short of another century.

Foster hit 86 of his side’s 8/186, while Jeremy Graves helped himself to 34.

Jordan Watters was the best of the Seaford Tigers bowlers, picking up 2/14, while Gavin Gardiner-Smith, Tom Burgdorf and Ash Mills claimed two wickets each.

Boneo has not enjoyed a good start to the season and things got worse against Delacombe Park on Saturday.

Boneo batted first and was all out for just 115. Varun Singh continued his impressive start to the season with 3/38 off 18 overs for the Parkers, while Chris Brittain and Simon Dignan took two wickets each.

In reply, the Parkers are cruising at 1/52, Jon Guthrie not out on 25. Andrew Christides is the man back in the sheds after making 16.

Hastings has placed itself in a reasonable position against Seaford.

The Blues batted first on their home deck and made 188, thanks largely to a half-century by First XI debutant Matt Foy. After scoring two half-centuries and two 40s in the Second XI and juniors this season, Foy earned his call-up and didn’t look at all out of place in the top grade.

Tim Birch opened the batting and scored 31, while Ben King was among the runs again with 25.

Damian Lawrence played a lone hand with the ball for Seaford, bowling 26.4 overs for a return of eight maidens and 7/52. Ryan McQueen picked up 2/32.

In the final match between Main Ridge and Flinders, the teams will play a one-day game this weekend after bad conditions prevented play at the Ridge.

Subbies cricket a worry as bats crash SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association Sub-district cricket is becoming the laughing stock of the competition after another day of embarrassing performances with the bat.

In all of the four matches that got going on Saturday, all eight teams have had a bat.

The highest score for the day was 141, compiled by Tyabb against Rosebud.

Balnarring was bowled out by Dromana for less than 100, Red Hill scrambled to just over 100 against Tootgarook, and Pearcedale limped to 96 against Frankston YCW.

Now, with those pathetic totals, you would assume the opposition was in the box seat to win the match.

Not so!

Dromana slumped to 7/64 against Balnarring (98) and Tootgarook is reeling at 5/26 against the Hillmen (110).

The only side to capitalise on a good bowling performance was Rosebud against the Yabbies, resuming this week at 1/69.

Frankston YCW has also started reasonably well against the Panthers, resuming at 1/19.

The match between Skye and Carrum Downs was rain affected and they’ll play a one-dayer this weekend.

Mark Whitehead took 6/45 for Dromana against the Hoppers while Dave Timmer snared 4/33.

Brenton Taylor was the only Balnarring batsman to offer any resistance with 41.

Glenn Collett made 34 of Red Hill’s 110 while Zac Stephenson picked up 6/44 for the Tooters.

Gollett then took 3/10 and Simon Dart 2/16 for the Hillmen.

Scott Didcock scored 65 of Tyabb’s 141. Brian Doughty and Jason Nagel each collected three wickets. Greg McCann scored 31 for the Buds in reply.

Kaine Smith was the top-scorer for Pearcedale against the Stonecats, helping himself to 33.

GOLFERS

Blues land big fish HASTINGS has landed the biggest recruit of the pre-season so far after announcing that Cranbourne star Justin Berry had signed.

The Blues announced the big signing late last week and word has it there will be a few more to come for the Blues.

Berry (pictured) is a star midfielder and forward and has been a key member of the powerful Cranbourne side in the past handful of seasons. Berry also spent time on Carlton’s list and was a key member of the Frankston Dolphins for some time.

Berry joins Stephen Charalambous, who has also signed with the Blues, crossing from Karingal.

Berry is expected to play predominantly as a forward, while “Charra” will play through the middle. New coach Brendan Dunne will hold down a key defensive post.

The Blues need to replace the likes of Daniel Wishart, Glenn Michie, Tony Mirrabella, Dylan Hand and Andy Kiely, who have all left the club.

Hillmen add another

Eagles land another

WE announced a number of weeks ago that Red Hill was close to signing a VFL player.

Well, now former Port Melbourne premiership player Michael Dillon has signed with the club.

The tough midfielder is a huge coup for the Hillmen, who have also added two-time YCW premiership player Paul Wintle to the list in the past week. He joins other recruits Jarrod Eames, Nick Bateman and Blake McCormack.

Coach Tony Blackford said a key forwardruckman to support young gun Jarryd Douglas was “probably the final piece in the puzzle” for his new club.

Blackford said he had spoken to “almost 60 possible recruits” since being appointed.

SOMERVILLE has added Karingal defender Kane McKenzie to its list, joining former teammates Cal Dixon and new Eagles coach David Hirst.

The Eagles have also spoken with Bulls running defender Sam McGarry.

Kangas working the phones NEW Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico has been busy working the phones since he landed the job. The two-time premiership coach is hopeful of adding a number of players to his list to “complement” the exciting young list at his disposal.

Teen’s stunning debut Firsts have 205 to defend HASTINGS CC

By Greg Bradshaw THE player who replaced Hastings’ Firsts captain-coach Brad Watson, 14-year-old Matt Foy, scored a half-century against Seaford.

It was Foy’s debut game in the senior side after he had shown good form in the Seconds. Watson was absent at a family wedding.

Hastings chose to bat in conditions conducive to swing bowling. Tim Birch and David Hull opened the innings and provided a bright start before Hull fell for 13, 1/35.

Ben King joined Birch and the runs continued to flow as King raced to 25 before a rash shot saw his demise, 2/73 after 22 overs.

From here the Seaford bowlers got on top, taking four wickets in the space of 25 runs and 11 overs. Birch was disappointed to be given out LBW for a well-made 31 Foy came to the crease, obviously very nervous, and with the side in a spot of bother, he and Ben Johnson looked to a get things back on track.

When Johnson went for 15, Foy was on 22. He then combined with Mitch Floyd for a valuable 41-run partnership, Floyd contributing 23.

Eight for 175 soon became 9/184 with Foy stuck on 49. He survived a couple of chances to post his maiden Firsts half-century and was last man out for that score.

Hastings made 188 off 74 overs. Foy faced 138 deliveries in his 126-minute stay at the crease.

Seaford faced 6 overs and was 0/12 at stumps.

The Seconds travelled to Seaford with a completely different side from the first two rounds.

Put in to bat, the Blues made a poor start, being 2/15 after 9 overs, before Aaron Wilson and Nick Guest steadied things for short period.

When they were out, for 16 and 21, the score was 4/60 in the 26th over.

New player Karan Singh and Dylan Ryan then took hold of the Seaford attack and put them to the sword.

In the next 12 overs, the pair put on 97 runs with Singh scoring his maiden 50 for the club, out for a well-made 58.

The next wicket fell 31 runs later and Carey Sawosz joined Ryan. The runs kept flowing and Dylan completed his maiden ton, finally falling for an excellent 112 runs. A feature was his running between the wicket.

Sawosz continued on his merry way, reaching his highest score of the season, 83no. Mason Mail enjoyed a late flurry, hitting 34 in an 80-run, ninth-wicket partnership. When Liam Bradshaw was out for 14, Hastings had made a massive 383 off 78 overs.

The Thirds played Moorooduc, bowled out for 88 in 60 suffocating overs. Craig McNamara bowled 16 overs taking 3/17, Chris Helweg 14 overs 4/28 and Chris Marsh took 3/9 off 10 tidy overs. The unlucky bowler was Luke Gibbons who continually beat the bat but couldn’t find an edge and finished with 0/14 off 19 overs with 12 maidens. Hastings reached 17 at stumps.

The Fourths played Rye, won the toss and batted but were quickly 3/19 after 5 overs. Andrew Finn, batting at four, compiled a rapid 53 that included 6 sixes and, with Steven Robb’s wellmade 30 and a handy 15 from Matt Sawosz, Hastings made 117 off 36 overs. Rye was all out for 95. Steve Lewis 2/20 in the good win.

The Under-16s travelled to Langwarrin. Langy batted first, scoring 4/85 off its 20 overs. Brodie Prestage took 2/24 and Mason Mail 2/11 from their 4 overs each. Matt Foy and new player Archie Lobato opened the innings, with Foy doing the bulk of the scoring, 40 out of a partnership 55, before he was dismissed. Aaron King then hit a quick-fire 20 and the game was won with an over to spare. Lobato provided the backbone of the innings with 23no as Hastings finished with 2/89.

In2 Cricket starts at 5.15pm on Friday 1 November. Chris Marsh will oversee the program.

CRIB POINT CC

By The Prez ON a dark and gloomy day, Crib Point Firsts took on Provincial powerhouse Long Island in a must-win game after the loss to Mornington.

Despite persistent rain falling during the teams’ warm-ups, the toss went ahead on time and, low and behold, Luke Herrington chose correctly.

Considering the conditions, the decision was an easy one with Herrington electing to bat.

The start didn’t go as planned with Matthew Blake falling to a skied pull shot in the 3rd over, bringing Herrington to the crease with the score at 1/1.

Henry Dolphin and the skipper set about building a platform for the 80 overs and batted with great patience and control to see Crib to 1/90. With both batsmen set and looking to capitalise on solid starts, Herrington (46) was the 2nd wicket to fall, run out after a communication breakdown with Dolphin.

Crib then found it difficult to build partnerships through the middle order, losing Adam Keulen for a duck, Dolphin for a well-made 66, Neil Clarke for 5 and Ricky Thompson run out for 4.

One down for 90 had turned into 6/136.

Jacob Cudmore joined Brad Davidson and they moved the score to 175 before Davidson was run out for 27. When Cudmore fell 12 runs later for an important 24, in what was his best Firsts innings, the score moved toward the all-important 200 mark, which was reached in the last over of the day as Warren Herrington became the fourth runout victim of the day with 205 on the board.

Provincial Seconds: The team played Long Island on Saturday after starting the season with two wins. With the side’s two leading run-scorers promoted to the Firsts, the team was brought back down to earth with a thud.

After 51 of 80 overs Crib was dismissed for a disappointing 90. Only Shaun Cairns (24), Mark Cairns (15), Michael Cook (13) and Shaun Blake

(11) offered any resistance.

With ball in hand, Crib was keen to make amends and by day’s end had Long Island 3/57, Shaun Blake, Dave Eaton and Will Lanigan with one wicket apiece.

Fourths: The one-day squad journeyed to Mt Martha looking to bounce back from last week’s disappointing loss. Losing the toss, Crib was sent in to bat and got off to a flying start through some surprising hitting from Tim Cook. Despite most of the batsmen getting starts and no one getting a big score, Crib ended its 40 overs on a competitive 150.

Opening the bowling with Brandon Wyatt and the club’s all-time leading wicket-taker Steve Peacock, the first wicket came courtesy of a blinder of a catch from Steve Lanigan. This set the scene for the rest of the day with Crib’s fielding applying immense pressure and not allowing Mt Martha to string partnerships together. Thanks to fantastic spells of bowling from Peacock, Wyatt and Damien Moresco, Mt Martha was bowled out for 100, giving the side a much-needed confidence boost.

Under-14s: Bowling first at Balnarring, Crib Point had an early breakthrough via Noah Hunt who swooped on a ball and threw down the stumps. The wickets continued to fall with Kade Lucy bagging one, Clayton picking up two with a nice over of spin, and Ben Schneider getting a run-out. Ezekiel Gray, playing in his first game, closed out the innings, claiming his first wicket – Balnarring 6/66 from its 20 overs.

The batting got off to a bad start with an early run-out, before Kade Watson and captain Logan Jenkins knuckled down. By the time Logan fell to a run-out on 12 and then Kade retired on 15, Crib was on its way. With handy contributions from Clayton Gay, Kade Lucy and Noah Hunt, Crib comfortably passed Balnarring’s total with overs to spare.
