Care for car struck koala A FEMALE koala and her six-monthold baby are the latest admissions to the Frankston-based Animalia wildlife shelter.

The koala, thought to be about seven years old, was rescued in Balnarring Beach on Saturday morning.

Animalia’s Michelle Thomas believes the koala was hit by a car.

A passer-by spotted the injured animal on the roadside, but by the time Ms Thomas arrived it had managed to seek refuge in a dead tree after crossing a small creek.

Ms Thomas believes the koala may be suffering brain damage from an earlier hit by a vehicle as it has matted hair and is in poor condition through not grooming itself effectively.

The mother and baby are now being cared for by Ms Thomas and other Animalia volunteers.

Hastings misses the boat Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AFTER 18 months of refurbishment, the former pilot cutter MV Wyuna is gearing to depart Beauty Point, Tasmania for Victoria – but not to Hastings as originally planned.

The 1953 vessel will, for the time being, be berthed at Docklands as a float-

ing tourist attraction.

Western Port Oberon Association president Max Bryant said the boat would make its way around to Hastings when permits were approved for a permanent home in Western Port.

The 48-cabin vessel was donated to the association in 2013 for display at the Victorian Maritime Centre/Museum currently at Crib Point. She was envisaged as being part of a tourism

‘double act’ with the Oberon class submarine HMAS Otama.

Until 1979 the Wyuna was anchored outside The Heads at Port Phillip to transfer pilots onto incoming ships, However, delays in receiving approvals from Parks Victoria, concerns over dredging and reluctance by the state government to back the project financially has caused plans to stall.

promised $1 million to the Otama project during the November election campaign, but Labor’s win has put plans even further on the backburner.

“We had confirmation of the grant and that the money would remain, but it seems to have disappeared,” Mr Bryant said. “Who knows what happens?

People play games...”

He said the Western Port Oberon Association was “in discussions” with

various institutions about financing the submarine’s resiting to a permanent tourist pen, but “no one wants to be first” in getting the project started.

“We have no doubt that if we got money from the state government the others would follow.”

The former Royal Australian Navy submarine has been moored off Crib Point awaiting a home on land since May 2002.

Gatto’s mate gets ready to collect Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A DEBT collection firm with links to underworld identity Mick Gatto is setting up shop in Hastings.

Gatto Corporate Solutions Pty Ltd, a debt purchasing company which buys debts then pursues creditors for the money owed, has leased office space at 8 High St, opposite Hastings Library.

Gatto’s surname is on the office window but the former boss of the notorious Carlton Crew is not a current coowner of the business despite initially owning one third of its parent company Gatto Corp, via a private company, when it was formed in 2009.

Gatto Corporate Solutions managing director Anthony Swords told The News he is the sole shareholder and “Mick’s my mentor�.

He said the firm “does everything� in the building industry and horse racing industry. “Everyone thinks it’s just a debt collection office but it’s not. We set up companies as well, give business advice, do mediation and negotiations when people try to buy or start a business.�

Mr Swords said he has signed a twoyear lease for the “satellite office� for Gatto Corporate Solutions.

The firm also has an office in Point Cook. Mr Swords said “cheap rentâ€? and the Hastings location is appealing. “I’ve got a farm in Junction Village so I’m only 15 minutes away. “It’s a good place to be ‌ the shop there is pretty much what I was paying for my car park in the city.â€?

He said Gatto Corporate Solutions has signed a two-year lease with further options at the Hastings, High St office and “a minimum� of three admin staff will be based there. “I run out of Lygon St – I have most of my meetings in Lygon St in Carlton,� Mr Swords said.

The Hastings office also has the company name Victorian Racing Collections Pty Ltd emblazoned on its window. “That is primarily a debt collection agency,� Mr Swords said. “It’s all over Victoria but obviously there’s a lot of trainers out Western Port way and Cranbourne way so it’s just convenient to be out here.�

The Gatto Corporate Solutions website states some outstanding debt cases “require more vigorous actionâ€?. When asked what this entailed, Mr Swords said it could include legal action. “It might mean you go to court ‌ I have a couple of solicitors who work for me and everything we do is done legally but the way we work is we assign people’s debts so we take them on and they’re our own. So we collect them however we want.â€?

The office space was leased by Century 21 real estate agent Chris Watt.

The shopfront was advertised as having “generous incentives available if you are of good standing and willing to make a reasonable commitment�.

Mr Watt is on leave and was unavailable for comment.

The Hastings premises leased to Gatto Corporate Solutions will also be a base for fundraising volunteers for a charity called We Were Champi-

We Were Champions was granted official charity status in 2013 and was established by Gatto Corporate Solutions.

with “pop-up shopsâ€? including spaces to exhibit artists’ works. “This could be a good chance for Hastings as well ‌ some of the things we do is help people set up their own business. “There’s a good future for Hastings with the port coming in. It’s just a nice little place.â€?

Gatto Corporation Solutions will officially open for business next week.

SPEED has been a factor in three car accidents in Stotts Lane, Frankston South, in the past two weeks, police say.

The 60km/h mostly sealed road has a gravel section about 300 metres from the Baxter-Tooradin Rd intersection, where the accidents have occurred. “All the accidents have resulted in roll-overs,� Acting Sgt Brent Thickens, of Frankston Highway Patrol, said. “The cars appear to lose traction and go up the embankment causing them to roll.�

Three people were in the most recent accident involved a Holden Commodore rolling after losing control on the gravel section on the Australia Day weekend.

The 30-year-old driver from Frankston was taken to The Alfred hospital with critical injuries. He is reportedly now in a stable condition.

Acting Sgt Thickens said police were “paying more attention� to driver behaviour on the road – and especially the 60km/h limit.

He urged drivers to take more care on the road.

Frankston Council last year upgraded the intersection of Stotts Lane and Baxter-Tooradin Rd, adding turning lanes and has listed the sealing of the lane in its 10-year capital works program. “In the meantime, council officers will inspect the road and carry out any repairs if required,� CEO Dennis Hovenden said. “We urge all drivers to use caution whenever they are driving, particularly on unsealed roads.�

Continued from Page 1 Sites previously considered for Otama include near the Hastings boat launching ramps, next to the government-owned Crib Point jetty and near the Stony Point jetty and headquarters of Patrick Ports.

The association bought the 2000-tonne, 90-metre long Otama from the navy for $50,000 in 2001. It cost $300,000 to tow it from Western Australia to Western Port.

The association used part of a $500,000 Centenary of Federation grant organised by Peter Reith, then Flinders federal MP and a cabinet minister in the Howard government.

The balance of $150,000 has gone on mooring, maintenance and setting up a temporary museum and maritime memorial centre in the former BP administration centre at Crib Point, near where the sub is moored.

It was expected the Wyuna, above, would follow the Otama in to a dredged

berth outside the marina sea wall once that part of the project was completed.

“We’ve still got to complete a planning permit, but we have done soil testing and design work and have gone as far as we can,” Mr Bryant said.

He said bringing the Wyuna to Hastings hinged on getting Parks Victoria’s permission to berth at the pier. “They have said no vessels longer than 15 metres are permitted there.”

While enthusiastic about the Wyuna’s imminent Bass Strait crossing, Mr Bryant is resigned to the stonewalling of government authorities and the snail’s pace of gaining permit approvals.

“If we could tie [the Wyuna] up alongside the pier we could get our plans for a school holiday camp up and running straight away,” he said. “Children could live aboard for seven to 10 days and learn navigation, cooking, how to do a watch, all the maritime skills ... We can see all sorts of benefits in it.”

Mr Bryant said the Wyuna’s refurbishment would have cost $500,000 in “real terms” but, with the help of volunteers, sponsorships and the generosity of the West Australian businesswoman who donated it to the Oberon association, Gillian Swaby, the cost is “nothing like that”.

The vessel - a scaled down version of the Royal Yacht Brittania and built at the same Glasgow shipyards on the Clyde in 1953 – was “in poor condition when acquired in 2013 but, after a complete restoration and repaint in her original colours, is shipshape”.

“The Wyuna is loved by the people of Tasmania,” Mr Bryant said. “She served as a training vessel at the Australian Maritime College in Launceston 1980 to 2004 and, when it hit the papers that she was coming here, lots of volunteers arrived to offer their services.”

Mr Bryant said Wyuna's engines were last week started for the first time since 2004.

Marina seeks help from friends

Youth threatens to ‘glass’ police ONE of a group of nine youths threatened police with a broken beer bottle near Somerville Secondary College early on Sunday morning.

Sergeant Mal Rodgers, of Hastings police, said the outnumbered officers appealed for calm but were forced to call for backup when confronted by seven teenage males and two females at 2.56am.

The offenders initially ran away but returned to help one of their mates who had fallen down. He then allegedly threatened police.

Residents had earlier reported damage to Somerville recreation and community centre and to windows of shops in the shopping centre. The same group was followed to the skate park near Pembroke Drive where they “became aggressive to us”.

Police are calling for public help in finding the culprits. Those able to help should call 5970 7800.

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE owner of Yaringa Boat Harbour, Somerville, is urging customers and friends to support his expansion plans.

In a letter sent out on 12 January Stefan Borzecki urges people to write to Mornington Peninsula Shire by 16 February to say they favour rezoning that would allow the marina to be enlarged and include 180 holiday apartments beside a new marina arm on private land.

In his letter, Mr Borzecki said the project depended on being able to sell “the associated real estate”.

He said Yaringa was unable to “satisfy demand” for berths, dry storage, maintenance services and requests for accommodation.

Mr Borzecki told The News on Monday that he had sent about 800 letters seeking support as well as more than 600 CDs containing all details of his plans as required by the shire.

He said the project, including building the holiday apartments, would total $40-$50 million.

In his letter, Mr Borzecki includes “a few ideas that you may wish to use in support of the proposal”, including the need for an expanded marina as “nothing like it exists in western Port”; Yaringa is the best location; “existing facilities desperately need an upgrade”; and it has “insignificant impact of the local or wider environment”.

Mr Borzecki believes the rezoning will eventually be decided by a state government-appointed planning panel and the shire’s involvement is “just another step” to achieve plans he

unveiled in 2009. The federal government approved plans to expand Yaringa in mid-2013.

Although he supports the expansion of the Port of Hastings (the state government has listed it for review by Infrastructure Victoria) Mr Borzecki is finding some support from anti-port groups.

The port opponents believe increased tourism will strengthen their case against Hastings becoming the state’s second major port.

Mr Borzecki says his marina and a container port “can sit side by side”.

The expansion of the Yaringa com-

plex at the end of Lumeah Rd will consist of: n Excavation of a new 300-metre long marina arm on private land to create 180 new wet berths. n A $1 million lock between the existing 300-metre marina arm and the new section to retain water in all tides.

The lock would be on public land held under a lease. n About 200 new dry berths on private land with some under cover in new buildings. n 180 holiday apartments beside the new marina arm on private land. n New buildings for the existing ma-

rine service centre, which is currently home to about 20 companies.

The existing marina has room for 600 boats, 150 in wet berths on leased public land and dry storage for 450 boats on private land.

A channel between the two marinas would be 70 metres long, seven metres wide and 2.5 metres deep. The lock would be 25 metres long.

The expansion will see the removal of coastal vegetation. Mr Borzecki has bought 100 hectares on the northwest corner of French Island as a “vegetation offset” With Mike hast.

‘Tourist’ threat to summit David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE summit of Arthurs Seat is in danger of being turned into another Mt Dandenong “car park and tourist cafe” unless great care is taken to avoid past development errors, according to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Hugh Fraser.

Cr Fraser used his Australia Day address at Sorrento Bowls Club to warn of “unresolved tension in the use of our national park public open spaces for private development”.

“There is the proposed private development of the historic Quarantine station in the Point Nepean National Park and also at the magnificent summit of Arthur’s Seat in the state park,” he said.

The state government announced last week that it was seeking to abandon the lease signed by the previous Coalition government for accommodation and hot springs at the park’s Quarantine Precinct. (See Page 5) Cr Fraser said that from the summit of Arthurs Seat “on a clear day we, like the traditional owners the Boonwurrung/Bunurong, can see the perimeters of their traditional lands and, like them, we can sit on the top of the world and watch the stars”.

Cr Fraser’s comments were made while introducing guest speaker Simon McKeon, head of the Skylift consortium planning to build a gondola ride that will terminate on the Arthurs Seat summit. The old chairlift terminated below the summit.

Skylift has VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal) approval for its controversial application.

Mr McKeon, in his speech, did not respond to Cr Fraser’s remarks.

Cr Fraser said that if the state government permitted the Skylift, “we are to share that summit experience with a mechanical gondola terminus and a restaurant with illuminations”.

“We are all familiar with the Mt Dandenong drive in car park and tourist cafe,” he said. “It is important that the development and environmental mistakes of the past are not repeated and I encourage everyone to take an active interest in that debate and to make your views known.”

Cr Fraser was among a minority of councillors who opposed the gondola application when it came to council last June.

VCAT approval in December requires future votes at council on a number of issues, including amended plans detailing measures to protect “heritage fabric” at the summit and how earthworks are to be carried out.

Bushfire measures are yet to be approved.

Other issues in the lengthy list of conditions imposed on the proposal

by VCAT require council approval of landscaping, measures to protect against pollution during construction and protection of neighbours’ amenity during and after construction.

There are also strict traffic conditions to be approved and enforced by VicRoads.

It is believed no contracts have yet

been signed to start work on the Skylift, which cleared the last legal hurdle when community group Save Our Seat got advice that an appeal to the Supreme Court against the VCAT decision had little chance of succeeding.

The advice said SOS could pursue political means to try to stop the project, including challenging any Mornington Peninsula Shire decision on the bushfire emergency plan required for the Skylift if it contained “identifiable legal error”.

Cr Fraser’s speech of welcome pointed to two important anniversaries that occur this year – the centenary in April of the Gallipoli landing and the

200th anniversary in June of Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo.

“These events exactly 100 and 200 years ago are a snapshot of modern Australian history,” Cr Fraser said.

“But there is a wider context – and I acknowledge today the Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders as the first Australians and that they have lived here for thousands of years.”

These members of the Kulin Nation had occupied the land now called the Mornington Peninsula for tens of thousands of years stretching back 40,000 years when the volcanoes of Flinders Peak, Mt Dandenong and Arthur’s Seat fell dormant, he said.

“A further Australia Day thought worth considering is whether all this ought to be recognised by naming our wonderful Mornington Peninsula the Boonwurrung/Bunurong Peninsula.”

“Australia Day is an occasion to reflect on the past, to appreciate our democratic federation of governments and to acknowledge our experiences and history of not only 100 or 200 years ago but also in the wider context of 40,000 years and to take care of our natural and historic environment,” Cr Fraser said.

“Today we raise our Australian flag and give thanks for the peace and prosperity of this great nation.”

Picture: David Proctor

Ejected after car crash AN elderly driver was ejected through the passenger side window of his Toyota RAV4 after colliding with a Holden ute in Coolart Rd, Hastings, on Wednesday morning last week.

Rosebud Highway Patrol Sergeant Peter Martin said the man, 86, had driven through a stop sign on Hodgins Rd before “T-boning” the Holden going south on Coolart Rd. Two men in the Holden, aged 41 and 64, were seriously injured.

He said the man had a doctor’s permission to drive without a seatbelt.

The elderly man was taken by air ambulance

to Royal Melbourne Hospital with what police describe as life-threatening injuries.

The two men in the ute, thought to be from Bittern, were taken by ambulance to Frankston Hospital with broken bones and suffering from shock.

Both cars were extensively damaged and expected to be written off.

Because of the elderly man’s age and condition he is not expected to be charged over the collision.

Subtle changes kick off year Plan to tackle

By David Harrison Council meeting at Besgrove St, Rosebud, 12 August, 7pm. Small gallery crowd; tea, coffee and biscuits provided.

THERE were a few new faces among the usual gallery veterans at 2015’s first council meeting on 27 January. Three of the faces were there to ask questions about the RACV proposal to build a five-storey addition to its Cape Schanck resort.

Five storeys! Thirty metres!

Council Watch visualised such a monster rearing up out of the flat Cape Schanck landscape beside Boneo Rd. Cape Schanck resident Phil Gledhill asked if all councillors had “fully informed themselves” of the impact the building would have on the landscape “such as bulk, height, 24/7 noise, light emission, reflection and overshadowing”.

The proposal would be “four times higher than any other structure permitted on the resort”, the question concluded. Three more questions sought further details of the project.

To summarise the shire response from sustainable environment director (planning manager) Steve Chapple, council could ask the RACV to consider a less prominent building, but this would likely mean one with a larger “footprint” to cater for planned accommodation and facilities.

Such planning proposals are a dilemma for the shire. Some heavyweight applicants appear to believe it’s the shire’s job to facilitate, rather than adjudicate, when presented with a corporate plan. And there’s always VCAT to take a friendly look at a

rejected development, as many on the peninsula know to their financial and neighbourhood cost.

But enough of trying times to come.

We met at the Rosebud shire offices like kids back at school after holidays, eager to take a long look at the new “head” person, chief executive Carl Cowie.

He introduced a new meeting procedure, reading all the questions in a calm, confident voice with a Scottish burr, then calling on the relevant officer to respond. He spoke deliberately and clearly, which CW took to mean he regards Question Time as an important opportunity for the community and council to “interface”.

Note CW’s mastery of buzzwords “footprint” and “interface”. In a few months you will struggle to have the faintest idea what this column is on about. CW is awaiting the opportunity to trot out “at the end of the day”.

Moving on from questions, a Letter Under Seal was presented to Roy Francis of Mornington, recently awarded an international honour for his work with prostate cancer sufferers and their families – the first Australian to receive the honour.

The Edward C Kaps Hope award, from the Us International Prostate Cancer Education & Support Network, is made to people who have shown “unselfish, dedicated service” to affected people.

Mr Francis presides over the prostate support group at Bentons Square in Mornington, Cr Anne Shaw told the gallery the group has been “a huge success” and congratulated Helen Francis for her devoted support of her husband.

But we sense a reading audience impatient to know more about Mr Cowie, the man who will make a serious impact on our lives for at least the next four years.

It came in his confident but (to CW) modest style in presenting his first Report to the Community, usually monthly but this month covering November and December. Mr Cowie started work on 1 December.

We would, he said, notice a document “slightly different to what’s gone previously”, with his first report about half the size of the October 2014 report. “Hopefully you’ll see we’re trying to streamline things” with a summary, he said.

He gave a précis of his activities; the opening of the Civic Reserve recreation centre; a Police Point, Portsea, twilight event for respite care; and the Buckley’s Rest facility, Safety Beach.

“Initially when I started, I thought, ̔This is really great – I’m involved in opening things every week’. And then of course early into January we had bushfires affecting the peninsula and also many tornados, so we flicked into operational mode to try to ensure things recovered as soon as possible.”

Mr Cowie said he would continue to “evolve” the monthly report to meet community needs for “meaningful and transparent” information. The veterans in the gallery smiled and nodded. We were off to a good start.

family violence MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire says it is committed to preventing family violence and is developing a threeyear plan as part of a broader community harm prevention strategy.

The Statement of Commitment for the Prevention of Family Violence was endorsed by council on 24 November.

A shire news release says the statement will “enable and promote” the shire as a safe place that acts to eliminate all forms of violence; that peoples’ relationships are respectful and free of violence; that people have an opportunity to participate equally in public and private life without fear or discrimination, and that an awareness of family violence is a key social and health issue.

The news release was issued on 29 January, three days after Tyabb resident Rosie Batty was named Australian of the Year. Ms Batty has become both a symbol and campaigner against domestic violence since her son Luke, then 11, was murdered by his father at cricket practice in February 2014.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said last year’s statement reaffirmed a broader stand against family violence and built on its existing work supporting the Health and Wellbeing Plan 2013-2017 to raise awareness.

“Local government has an important role to play in fostering safe and healthy communities,” she said.

“The shire is committed to promoting a culture of community harmony,

wellbeing and a sense of safety and belonging.”

She said the shire would collaborate with the Peninsula Model of health planning, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Network, Victoria Police, advocates and the community.

“We aim to progress work in the area of family violence prevention and to foster an environment where we can all make a difference.”

Pub assault A WOMAN allegedly punched a man, 28, in the eye in an unprovoked attack at the Somerville hotel on Saturday at 8.50pm. Police said the woman was intoxicated.

It is believed the pair did not know each other and the woman and two men left soon afterwards.

Police are reviewing CCTV footage and appealing for witnesses.

The woman is described as being in her late 20s, Caucasian, wearing a purple t-shirt, shorts and thongs. One of the men is described as wearing a black t-shirt and “covered in tattoos”.

Nursing service cuts staff

History sinks PEOPLE interested in learning about the “sunken history” of Port Phillip will enjoy a talk at Sorrento Museum at 8pm on Friday 6 February.

Mark Ryan of Southern Ocean Exploration will talk about Project Long Shot, the search for the first shot fired in the First World War. Gunners from Point Nepean are credited with the shot that stopped a German freighter leaving The Heads only hours after war was declared in Europe.

The museum is on the corner of Melbourne and Ocean Beach roads.

Details: Nepean Historical Society president Joy Kitch, 5984 0255.

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au STAFF cuts at the Royal District Nursing Service’s Frankston and Rosebud offices will not affect patients, according to the service’s management.

The organisation says there will be “no change to patient-care”.

The offices are being replaced by mobile care teams equipped with laptops to make house calls.

Administrative functions at the existing 14 suburban offices will be consolidated into four regional hubs – with the closest to Frankston and the peninsula being Moorabbin.

The RDNS office in Beach St, Frankston, will close in April.

No decision has been made regarding the continuation of the Cairns St, Rosebud, office “at this stage”.

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation expects the Rosebud office to lose six nurses as well as two administrative and one domestic staffer. It says six G3 nursing positions will be downgraded to G2.

It is not known how many staff will be affected at the Frankston office.

The RDNS insists no “front line” nursing positions will be cut, although “a number” of management, consultant, coordinator and administrative positions will not be required.

“Staff in these roles will have the opportunity to apply for newly created roles,” a spokesperson said.

“Where redundancy is unavoidable, people will receive packages and access to personal and career counselling.”

The organisation expects to cut around 80 positions overall. It is Australia’s oldest and largest home nursing and healthcare services organisation and has been operating on the peninsula since the mid-1970s.

Victorian general manager Fiona Hearn said the changes would “deliver better back-up to front-line nurses and improved services to clients”.

“The rationale is that the RDNS operating structure has essentially been unchanged for more than 30 years.

For example, the current structure pre-

dates even fax machines, and dates from a time when nurses had to drive into an office to receive a paper client list and schedule.

“Now, all of that can be delivered instantly via tablet computer, meaning time once spent on driving can now be spent providing patient care.”

About 200 Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation members met on Thursday to discuss the changes.

They say 150 employees across the metropolitan area, including many highly-skilled nurses, will be forced to

compete for new, and in some cases, lesser positions.

Federation acting state secretary Paul Gilbert said members “have serious concerns about the proposals - if they are to proceed in their current form – especially as regards critical patient-care issues”.

“These have been identified and need to be addressed,” he said.

The nurses’ federation and the RDNS will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) to negotiate aspects of the revamp.

EIGHT peninsula life saving clubs will each receive $25,000 from a federal government beach safety equipment fund.

Clubs at Dromana, Gunnamatta, Mt Martha, Portsea, Point Leo, Rosebud, McCrae and Sorrento will use the cash for lifesaving and first-aid equipment such as inflatable rescue boats and boards, defibrillators and oxygen resuscitators.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt said a beach drowning black spot reduction program would help educate the public about coastal hazards and reduce drowning at dangerous beaches.

“Lifesavers do a terrific job in our community and have kept our beaches and coastline safe for more than 100 years. They provide a vital community service that is very much appreciated and valued,” he said.

“Last year, lifesavers performed 12,000 rescues and provided 32,000 first aid treatments to beachgoers in Australia.”

I have mixed views on the new state government’s proposition to contain municipal rates.

On one hand it will lead to much needed relief for Frankston residents doing it hard. Yet, on the other hand, it is not a healthy situation where another level of government effectively dictates, on a universal scale, what local governments are and unable to do.

I am in two minds because I do not believe that this proposal by the state government has been thought through with diligence. If the aim of this new initiative was to truly ease the financial squeeze on residents and business owners then, instead of capping municipal rates, the government should instead be looking at ways to provide additional financial assistance to local councils.

This would create a natural precedence for council to lower rates without the proposed artificial mechanism. It would also be a reparative move given the amount of cost shifting the government has committed in recent years, leaving local government to pick up the pieces.

The danger I foresee in mandatorily curbing rates (by far the most significant revenue base any council has) is that it will force local councils to look inward and commit potentially drastic cuts in staff and services. While operational efficiency is not a bad thing by any stretch, the capping of rates could lead to an environment where there is less value for rates as a result of substandard service delivery which would therefore render this whole exercise effectively worthless.

The government also needs to ensure that under this new scheme it is not piggybacking on council rates and burying its own revenue catchments within them as we have seen over the past five years in the form of multiple state levies embedded in council rates.

It is admirable that the government is encouraging local councils to rely on revenue streams other than rates. However, it needs to ensure it does not commit overreach and deprive local councils of even more autonomy. As it is, local government is practically a hand puppet for the two other tiers of government in Australia.

Non sustaining Late last year in response to a planning permit application [to Mornington Peninsula Shire] my neighbour and I lodged objections to the height of proposed buildings which would affect our solar panels and removal of an iconic Norfolk pine tree.

A letter informed us that we would be "advised on council's decision in due course". We heard nothing more. To our surprise clearing of vegetation has started. Following a dash to the council offices we were told by the appropriate council officer that notification of vegetation removal and demolition of the existing dwelling were not a requisite and that we would be contacted regarding the proposed development.

On asking about the Norfolk pine we were also informed that it was not under council jurisdiction.

Next day, to our dismay, demolition was under way and the bottom limbs had been lopped from the tree. Phone calls to Heritage Victoria and our local state MP’s office revealed that vegetation protection was indeed council's responsibility.

A STOLEN speed boat valued at $107,000 has been recovered by Mornington police.

Detective Harry Simpson who seized the 2014 Malibu Wakesetter in mid-January after it went missing from premises in Braeside last June.

The boat’s identifying features (pictured with Detective Sergeant Peter Drake) had been removed and it was being stored at a Mornington boatyard where staff were unaware it had been stolen.

A 41-year-old Burwood man was interviewed on 13 January. He will be summonsed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court.

Picture: Yanni

A spokeswoman for the MP phoned me back to say she had left a message to speak to the council officer and was waiting on a return call, which it seemed never came. It was Friday after all.

Some weeks previously asbestos had been removed from the old dwelling without alerting neighbouring residents.

Meanwhile, that beautiful pine, an integral part of the area's character and favourite roosting place for many birds, will be wiped out.

"Committed to a sustainable peninsula"? Yeah right.

Bandicoot error The only conclusion one can come to when thinking of our federal Minister for the Environment, there is a little but significant spelling mistake: it should be “Minister Against the environment”.

After failing to delist great stretches of Tasmanian forest from World Heritage listing and potentially damaging the Great Barrier Reef by proposing to dump dredging spoils on it, he’s now proposing to delist the southern brown bandicoot from the endangered list of native animals (‘Feds move to delist threatened bandicoot’, The News 27/1/15).

This comes after sitting on his hands when last year the than Liberal state government decided to abandon plans for a wildlife corridor in the southern proposed new suburbs, which would have been a boost to the bandicoot’s and many other species survival chances in the south east.

Fitness benefits MORE than 880,000 children will enter the gates of Victorian schools this week. Sadly, about a quarter of them will be overweight or obese. That’s 220,000 young Victorians who may be destined to a life of poor health and stress.

Once kids walked to and from school, now most are driven.

Many children play sport, but a couple of hours a week will not provide the levels of physical activity required for good health. Children need to be active throughout the day, every day.

Sometimes the benefits of organised sport are undermined by what happens before and after a session. Taking my children to Auskick I witnessed many children being driven the short distances to get there, then after the session consume fatty sausages, sugary soft drinks, lollies and other junk foods.

Simply walking to school on a regular basis can do much to meet the exercise needs of our children and arrest the trend towards being overweight.

Children who walk to school will be more socially connected to their community and Danish research has shown that kids who walk (or ride) had concentration benefit that lasted until after lunch time.

Lessons learnt while walking to school can be as important as those in a classroom. Lessons that help children grow into well adjusted, productive, community-minded adults.

Don’t our children deserve to be able to walk, be active and have fun like we did?

Anger: Taxi drivers are not so happy about Uber’s arrival in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Picture source: Instagram

Uber’s night moves hurt taxi drivers Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au NIGHT-TIME taxis patronage across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula has dived after the launch of Uber’s ridesharing service in late December, according to frustrated cabbies.

US based Uber, backed by corporate goliaths including Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs, is operating its uberX service illegally in Victoria (‘Uber’s arrival challenges taxi operators’, The News 20/1/15).

Taxi owners and drivers are angry that the state government and regulators seem unwilling to act to stamp out the unregulated ridesharing service.

Several have told The News young people in the 18-30 age bracket in particular are shunning taxis and using Uber’s smartphone app to book car journeys after leaving pubs and clubs.

The uberX app enables passengers to book car rides with drivers who have listed their details and vehicle with the service. No cash changes hands.

Passengers make an online payment and Uber takes a 20 per cent commission then pays the difference to drivers.

Uber’s “dynamic pricing model” means fares fluctuate based on demand.

The drivers do not have to pass any tests to list their details with Uber. After each paid journey drivers and passengers can publicly rate each other’s performance via the smartphone app.

Sandy Spanos, founder of industry group Victorian Taxi Families, is outraged successive state governments and regulators have failed to step in and stop the uberX service operating in Victoria.

“Uber is unaccredited, unlicenced and uninsured and they pay no tax,” she said.

“They’re snubbing their noses at our laws. It costs my husband $140 a day to keep a taxi on the road… what are they [Uber] paying?”

Mrs Spanos said uberX drivers do not have ABN numbers or submit business activity statements.

“I can’t understand why every taxpayer in Australia isn’t outraged by this.”

Some Uber drivers have been fined $1700 when caught by transport inspectors but Uber is reportedly paying drivers’ fines.

Peninsula based taxi driver Mickey, who did not want his full name published, said Uber “is taking a lot of work from us”.

“It’s illegal and they can’t deny that.”

Mickey said customers are often unaware uberX is illegal.

“We can’t stop the passengers… the drivers need to be educated and realise they can be charged. The enforcement is not happening from the government.”

He said “there has been a huge drop-off in business” since Uber launched across Frankston and the peninsula.

Younger people regard Uber as “hip”, according to Mickey.

He expressed frustration that regulators are not

clamping down on Uber’s business.

“They don’t care what happens to the taxi industry and taxi drivers.”

When contacted by The News, the Taxi Services Commission said it will not comment while legal action, brought by the TSC against Uber, is before Australian courts.

Mickey said “the TSC needs to understand it exists if taxis are on the road. The TSC does not exist if there are no taxis on the road”.

He suggested confiscating Uber drivers’ cars to “inconvenience them” since the company is apparently paying any fines.

Uber has not replied to questions by The News about its Frankston and peninsula operations.

Mrs Spanos condemned suggestions Uber can be regulated.

“You can’t legislate private cars… if someone has an accident [in an Uber car] who is going to pay for it?

“I have children… I don’t want my children to get into one of those Uber cars because you don’t know who’s driving it… what about police checks?”

Uber has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Its uberBLACK service is a legitimate private hire car business but its uberX offering is unregulated.

“Why are they not being raided?” Mrs Spanos asked.

“I’d like their offices stormed and closed down and every one of those drivers held accountable because they know they’re breaking the law.”

Petanque club scores THE Red Hill Petanque Club will soon be playing at a new site in Main Ridge, at the bowls club there, on a piste, or playing surface, built with a state government grant.

The matter came to light at council’s 27 January meeting when Cr Graham Pittock asked if Red Hill’s club shared “the Dromana Italian Club’s bocce piste”. Petanque is a variation of the French game boules, which Italians call bocce.

Communities director Rob Macindoe said the Red Hill club was separate, “quite an active group”, that had been using the Red Hill Recreation Reserve.

“But this opportunity has come up,” he said.

The government money “will enable a first class piste to be developed. We also received some funding to look at a similar piste around the Mornington area [and are] looking at the Mt Martha Golf Club as a site.”

A “piste” is defined as a ski trail with an artificially prepared surface of packed snow. It can also be an unpaved road or beaten track; a spoor made by a wild animal; a flat rectangular area for fencing bouts; or a rink on which to play boules.

The aim of boules is to throw metal balls to land as close as possible to a “cochonnet” – French for “piglet” – on a rink of hard dirt or gravel, but can be played on other surfaces including grass and sand.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Donations required for boy’s home Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE friends of Mr G. Griffith, of Somerville, will be pleased to learn that he is so far recovered from a severe attack of bronchitis that he is able to return home, after being in a hospital in Melbourne for a fortnight. *** A VERY enjoyable evening was arranged by two very young ladies, Miss Doreen Dove, and Miss Sydney Levine, at Frankston House, on Wednesday evening, January 27th, in aid of the Patriotic Fund. This example could be followed by others. A splendid programme was given, including songs, party songs, recitations and dances.

These young ladies are to be congratulated on the success of their evening, and the total amount received, 5s 3d, was handed over to the secretary of the Frankston Patriotic Fund. *** WE are pleased to see that Mr C. McKenzie was successful in winning the 4½ furlong Novelty Pony race with his new purchase, Myradale at the last Nyora Race Meeting.

Mr McKenzie complains of the treatment he received from the railway Department on the occasion of taking his horses to those races. He booked and paid for the conveyance of two horses from Cranbourne to Nyora, and when he arrived there with the horses he was told there was only room for one.

Besides the inconvenience and expense incurred by Mr McKenzie, he was told when he asked for a refund of the money for the box he had paid for but did not get, that he would have to make application at the head office for

a refund, thus entailing further loss of time and expense. *** PASSENGERS by the evening train from Stony Point to Melbourne, on Monday, had a very unpleasant and tiresome experience on that part of the journey between Stony Point and Frankston.

Shortly after leaving Stony Point it was found that the water in the boiler of the engine had given out, and it was only at a very slow rate of progress that the train made its weary way as far as Tyabb, where the already full load of passengers was further augmented by those who had journeyed to the Tyabb sports and were returning.

A start was made from that station nearly an hour behind time and the engine made violent exertions to get to the next station (Somerville) but after several stoppages and starts again it finally stopped about half a mile from the township and all the efforts of the engine driver to get further along were unavailing, so he drew the fire and the passengers had patiently to wait by the wayside till a fresh engine was procured.

After waiting for about an hour, they were gladdened by the sound of an approaching engine and the cry ‘all aboard’ was given, and a fresh start was made.

All trouble was not over yet, for on arrival at the Junction, it was found that the engine that had brought them this far had to proceed with a train to Mornington, and another long wait was perforce made at that place, till another engine was procured from somewhere, and a start was again

made for Frankston, which place was reached without further mishap at ten minutes after 8 o’clock, or nearly three hours after time. *** BOY’S HOME, FRANKSTON. The Matron of the Boy’s Home would be thankful for any new or left-off clothing for the boys, as they are very much in need of school clothes. Mrs Dean has kindly consented to receive any parcels. Trusting to meet with favorable results. Yours etc. THE MATRON. *** WEDDING BELLS. A very pretty wedding was celebrated in the Methodist Church, Somerville, between Mr George Richardson, of Melbourne, and Miss Alison Thornell, daughter of Mrs E. Thornell and the late Thomas Thornell of the Federal Nurseries.

The Rev. Jackson, assisted by Rev. H. Wallace, affirmed the ceremony.

The church had been beautifully decorated by Mrs A. Thornell for the occasion. The bride’s dress was of white crepe de chene, corsage of shadow lace, court train, falling from the shoulders, lined with shell pink, and finished with true lover’s knot of white satin ribbon, usual bridal veil of net and point lace, worked by the bride’s aunt, Mrs Westaway, of Bendigo, shower bouquet, with streamers of white satin ribbon.

The train bearers, a niece and nephew of the bride, Stella Thornell and Thomas Ryan, Stella, in a white hand embroidered silk frock, and carrying a pale pink crepe de chene muff, while the nephew was in a white satin suit, hat to match.

The bridesmaids were Miss L. Thornell (sister of bride), who wore a shell pink crepe de chene costume, relieved with white shadow lace, over net, shower bouquet of pale pink roses and carnations, with pale pink satin streamers, and Miss Francis Petrie, who was gowned in shell pink crepe de chene, bodice of shadow lace.

Mrs Thornell, the bride’s mother, wore black crepe de chene and shadow lace, hat of black silk straw, lace feather and posies.

The bride’s travelling dress was a navy blue silk tailor made costume, oriental trimmings, black silk hat with white feathered wreath. A large number of presents were made, including cheques to a very substantial amount. *** ECHOES From Egypt. Head Quarters, 2nd Infantry Brigade Mena Camp, Cairo Egypt, 2nd January, 1915.

To the Frankston Billiard Club Boys. Just a few lines to let you know what things are like in Egypt. We have a splendid camp here about ten miles out of Cairo. Electric trams run out from the city which takes an hour at a cost of 2 piastres (5d) first class and 1 piastre (2½) second class.

The famous pyramids and sphinx are about five minutes walk from where we are camped. These were supposed to have been built about 2000 years ago, the time when Pharaoh was King.

It is said that he was buried in one of the many tombs inside the Pyramids.

Nearly all work here is done with camels, mules, and donkeys. They are as common here as horses are in Australia.

We are allowed leave to go to Cairo every 5 days from 3pm to 11pm which we take advantage of.

The city is much larger than Melbourne and is also very quaint.

Nearly all the males wear skirts or gowns the same as the females, and the married women wear a peculiar affair on their nose, and also have a veil over their faces so that only their eyes can been seen.

There are not many English people here – mostly Egyptians, French, and Greek.

I was in town last night and had a game of billiards at Shephard’s Hotel, the first game since leaving the Club.

Well boys taking things, on the whole I am well satisfied with my new trade. We were told that we will be marching off to France and Germany about the end of February. The boys all wish to be remembered to you and although late, wish you all a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Sir George Reid was out here the other day watching the troops march past. My word it was a splendid sight.

Well I think this is about all I can say this time except that we all hope to be back again about next Xmas, so will close now hoping it finds you all quite well as it leaves us here at present, from your old pals, per HARRY COVINGTON. P.S.– Wally Fisher wishes to be remembered to his Frankston friends.

Private Harry Covington and Bert Robert write to say they would like to receive letters from their friends in Frankston.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 February, 1915.

WITH the holidays behind us it’s a good time to ensure your feet and legs are in good shape to tackle the year ahead. Our feet are one of our bodies most complex and relied upon structures, yet they’re often the most neglected. We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics for some tips to help keep you on your feet in 2015: 1. Always get foot and leg pain or soreness checked by an experienced Sports or Musculoskeletal Podiatrist. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues and a podiatrist who specialises in Musculoskeletal issues has the appropriate and specific expertise.

2. Evaluate your footwear. Summer footwear such as thongs and slips-ons can be stressful to the feet, if worn too long. Choose shoes that are comfortable with straps or laces that hold to the feet, and have decent cushioning and support, especially for prolonged activity.

3. Choose activity/sport appropriate shoes for sport & recreational activities.

4. Don’t rely on technological advances in footwear to treat pain & discomfort or decrease risk of injury. Proper advice and treatment from an appropriate podiatrist is the best way to prevent and treat problems.

5. Women should opt for lower heels whenever possible. If you have to wear high heels try a wedge heel for more support/stability, also look for shoe straps with a bit of substance for extra support.

6. Don’t buy shoes that require a “break-in period”.

Shoes should be comfortable immediately.

7. Shop for footwear at the end of the day to accommodate for normal swelling. Feet can swell by up to 10% during the course of a day.

8. Be careful of off-the-shelf foot products including mass produced orthotics, innersoles and arch supports. Only devices prescribed by an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist should be used to ensure they are correct, effective and safe.

9. If you’ve been advised you require surgery or medications for any foot, knee or leg concerns, get a second opinion. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments most surgery can be avoided and there is now significant proof that anti-inflammatory medications and cortisone injections can delay healing and/or cause further damage. There are better, safer, natural alternatives available to assist pain, injury and degenerative concerns.

If you have foot and leg pain, injuries or degenerative concerns you can get expert advice form the experienced Musculoskeletal Podiatrists’ at Foot + Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza, Cheltenham or Rye. Call 1300 328 300. Mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultations.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Notes from the age of unreason

By Stuart McCullough ONCE upon a time, there was a thing called ‘reasonable’. It occupied the large, gaping space between two diametrically opposed extremes. Reasonable was fair, it was balanced and it was loved, if not by all, then by a health majority. We used to like reasonable. In fact, we came to depend on it. But then, like a pair of flared trousers, it suddenly went out of fashion. It is no longer possible to appeal to reason. Each of us is an island, our opinions are sacrosanct and we are not for moving. Our intellectual dominion will not be assailed by inconveniences such as facts, figures or the laws of physics. I am right despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Things have gone too far. I realise it’s not possible to unscramble a genie back into a bottle but we owe it to each other to try. The first step to being reasonable is to try and keep things in perspective. And with that and my tongue both firmly in mind as well as my cheek, I have a few things to say.

Advice that, I feel, will help you avoid letting the age of unreason drive your crazy. To live a better life; one full of evidence and reason and goodwill to others, I strongly recommend that you avoid the following: Listening to Talkback radio. If it is taken at all, it should not be taken seriously. That’s because taking talkback radio seriously is something best left to professionals, such as talkback radio hosts. The rest of us should consider it a work of parody. Talkback radio is a fact-free universe generally occu-

pied by people who failed at their chosen profession and through the process of elimination have ended up hosting talkback. No one wants to be a shock jock when they grow up. No one. It’s better than allowing them to roam the streets, I suppose, but only barely.

Calling Talkback Radio. John Lydon once claimed that ‘anger is an energy’. It’s also a way to fill otherwise dead air for three hours on a Thursday morning. Those who ring up or text a radio station for any reason other than to request they give the new single by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard a spin are rarely happy and are bursting to tell the world how unhappy they are. The trouble is, you’ve got to be

outraged enough to want to pick up the phone.

This week, I accidentally came across talkback radio and, frankly, I am yet to recover. The presenter – of no fixed qualification – was unimpeachably certain. The callers too were full of conviction, or at least they were until the moment the presenter disagreed with them and they backed down with a speed that can only be described as ‘breathtaking’. I had no idea such people even existed.

Lobby groups – of any variety.

Everyone’s entitled to their point of view. But here’s a suggestion: when someone announces an enquiry or investigation, why not wait until it’s

completed before you denounce it.

Granted, rejecting the outcomes of an enquiry that hasn’t yet started is efficient, but it’s putting the cart before the Pandora’s worm.

Lobby groups deserve a special mention here. Whether they represent business or unions, industry or the environment; these are organisations whose job it is to be blinkered.

At the merest whiff of something that might not be wholly in their interests, their job is to make it sound as if the apocalypse is coming. Their unique gift for making everything sound catastrophically berserk is one of the key disincentives to anyone trying to be reasonable.

Press conferences. Not everything requires you to flick the idiot switch.

Ideally, there’s still a place for being calm and measured. However, being calm and measured doesn’t make for much of a sound bite.

As a result, public figures are engaged in a bizarre arms race in which they deploy unhinged hyperbole in a bid to attract attention. Ironically, this is all meant to help them ‘cut through’ with a message which then drowns in a sea of mixed metaphors and general silliness.

The Internet. On the one hand, the Internet is inherently democratic and is a symbol of freedom and integrity.

But more than just an information superhighway it’s also something of a wonderland for nitwits.

Ever read on-line comments? They are a haven for the perpetually disgruntled. These poor souls live their

lives never knowing the pleasure that comes from being happy or satisfied.

They are never gruntled. Always disgruntled.

Opinion. The Internet is where the virtual lynch mobs of the 21st Century reside.

Whereas once crackpots would stand on upturned milk crates in a discrete corner of your local park and spout their poisonous drivel, these people now all have jobs as media commentators and their own websites.

The demand for talking heads – folks who can talk without pausing for breath while spewing out any old garbage – has never been greater.

Perhaps, for a time, it’s worth putting stock in no one’s opinion but your own.

This article is, of course, just a matter of opinion. It contains nothing in the way of facts and is riddled with broad assertions that are beyond proof.

It’s more of a lament.

Perhaps these things go in waves.

Maybe some day in the not too distant future, things will circle back and people will respect a more measured and reasoned approach to public debate.

Where it won’t be a competition to be even more obnoxious than the person you just interrupted.

As for me, I plan to avoid talkback radio, lobby groups, the Internet and opinion pieces for the foreseeable future because I’m sure that if I do I’ll feel better about myself and the world at large. And that is as good a reason as any. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

James continues his reign at Between the bays Returning to Between the Bays for the fifth time, old favorite James Reyne will grace audiences with his presence again with a repertoire from his 30 year career.

“We will be playing a good cross section of music from my Australian Crawl stuff to solo songs, right across the whole spectrum,” says James, who has been involved with the festival since its inception 10 years ago.

“I first became involved as my daughter was going to the school.

When Paul and Vivienne came up with the idea for Between the Bays to raise money, they asked me to perform. I was just like any one of the parents there,” he says. “The people who run it are lovely and they run it very well. It’s a great day out for the family, with lots of stuff for the kids to do, great food and wine as well.”

With James’ notoriety for all

things charitable, and having just received an OAM for his charity work, there is a synchronicity to the performer’s involvement, with the money raised going to the Wugulaar School in Katherine.

“I don’t really have a lot to do with the cause but I know it is a terrific one and Penbank school do a great job with the music festival,” says James.

With a career spanning three decades, first with Australian Crawl and then his solo career, James still has no idea where he gets his inspiration from.

“I really don’t know. I just write the songs and get inspiration from where I always have,” he says.

For James, 2015 looks promising with a new band and new album

by The Magnificent Few, the first album to be a new EP of songs.

The band features James on lead vocals, Phil Cebrano and Brett

B Y

Western Port News 3 February 2015

Kingman on guitar, Andy McIvor on bass, and John Watson on drums.

Now in its 10th year, Between the Bays is firmly established as Mornington Peninsula’s best, annual music festival on the summer calendar - a day not to be missed. Over the last decade, Between the Bays has offered music lovers a festival option that is safe and entertaining for everyone, is inexpensive and has an all-inclusive community feel.

This year, along with James Reyne, artists will include Mark Seymour, Custard, Wagons, Sweet Jean, Combo La Revelcion, Indigenous Hip Hop Projects and The Billabong Boys.

Between the Bays is on Saturday February 28, 2015 at Penbank School, Rickards Road, Moorooduc. Tickets are on sale now via www.betweenthebays.com

Doggies on the verge PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON’S quest to push into the MPCA Provincial cricket top four was dealt a boost on Saturday when it left the field after the first day with the upper hand against Baxter.

In a must win game for the Dogs, they lost the toss and bowled first against the competition’s ladder leader and sent them packing after 67 overs.

Luke Popov was at his vintage best for the visitors, bowling 18 overs and finishing with eight maidens and a super performance of 5/26.

Sam Buchanan was brought into the attack late in the day and did the job for his skipper Matt Foon, snaring 3/27 from eight overs.

James Eadie, who has spent most of the season in the seconds, was a saviour for Baxter, top scoring with 42 batting at seven.

Skipper Daniel Warwick made 19 and Chamika Sattambi made a welcome 20 as the last man in. There weren’t a lot of batting performances outside of those to crow about.

Baxter was eventually dismissed for 151, which is a defendable total at Baxter Park.

Mornington was very cautious in the final 13 overs of the day, going at just over one an over and finishing the day on 0/14.

Whilst Mornington is lurking, fourth-placed Long Island is in a strong position against second-placed Sorrento.

The Islanders would be well aware that the Doggies are breathing down their neck, however, they continue to hold them at bay.

On Saturday, Long Island batted first at home in Peter ‘Potto’ Conell’s 400th game.

Whilst ‘Potto’ opened with 39, the little master Scott Phillips was at it again, top scoring with an unbeaten 73 while Andrew Tweddle was still out there with him at the end with an unbeaten 33.

Long Island gave themselves every opportunity to keep their winning streak, making 7/271.

AJ King was the pick of the Sorras’ bowlers with 3/66 while Chris King claimed 2/65.

Langwarrin refuses to go away, making 7/274 against Moorooduc.

Matt Prosser batted at three and top scored with 66, while Andy Johnson made a dominant 51 before being run out. Skipper Mark Cooper opened with 48.

Ross Cordeaux was the best of the Ducs’ bowlers with 3/90.

Peninsula Old Boys are in some early trouble against Rye, however, are only chasing down 140 for victory.

The Old Boys bowled first on their

home deck and rolled the Demons for 139. Beau Suffern top scored for Rye with 42.

Leigh Lambert then got his side away to a solid start with the ball, picking up two wickets to have the Old Boys 2/34 at stumps.

Crib Point will be looking for an outright against Heatherhill.

Mathematically still a chance to play finals, the Magpies batted first and declared their innings at 7/202. Luke Herrington top scored with 71, Chris Richmond made 49 and Ricky Thompson 29.

At stumps, the Hills were 4/98 with Herrington and Glenn Barclay both taking two wickets.

Mt Eliza is in the box seat against Pines.

The Mounties batted first at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday, however, were bowled out in the 79th over for 186.

Jason Mathers top scored with an unbeaten 59, while Jake Prosser was the best performed bowler for the Piners with 5/28. Brett Remy claimed 3/18.

Pines was forced to face the last over of the day and lost opener Jeremy Weare for a blob. Pines will resume this week at 1/0.

Facing the bowler: Mt Martha has set Seaford Tigers a 228 target for victory in their District match.

Tight at the top with six in the finals mix DISTRICT

By IT Gully GOING into the third last round of MPCA District cricket, there are six teams all vying for a place in the finals.

Top of the table Red Hill is assured its place, however, the race is well and truly on for the teams looking to occupy the final three placings.

Whilst Somerville, Carrum and Mt Martha hold spots in the top bracket, Seaford and Main Ridge are waiting for any wrong move so they can swoop.

And going on the results of the first day’s play of Round Nine, there is plenty of opportunities opening up.

Red Hill hasn’t put a foot wrong

this season, currently undefeated.

This reign appears to be coming to a close though in this match.

On Saturday against Main Ridge, the home side was bowled out for just 122.

At one stage they were 8/87.

Riley Shaw opened with 32 and was the team’s top scorer whilst Nick Esipoff contributed 30 batting at 10.

James Abbott was superb for Main Ridge with 5/25 from 12.3 overs.

Scott Millar also had the radar going with 4/64 from 25 overs.

In reply, Main Ridge faced the last 22 overs of the day and finished at 2/76.

Brad Rossborough is not out on 32.

Second and third placed Somerville and Carrum are going toe to

toe and it was a disastrous day one for the batsmen.

There were 13 wickets to fall on the opening day, Carrum losing all of theirs for just 121, while Somerville was 3/17 at stumps.

Liam Dobson top scored with 27 for the Lions, while Jackson Fry did the damage with the ball with 2/8.

Fourth-placed Mt Martha has set Seaford Tigers a task to reach 228 for victory.

The Reds batted first on Saturday at Belvedere Park and made 6/227.

Aidan Pateman top scored for the Reds with 60, opening the batting, giving him 312 runs for the season.

Matthew Pollock was also solid with the bat for Mt Martha with 47.

Tom Burgdorf was the pick of the

Tigers’ bowlers with 3/56 from 26 overs.

Ryan McQueen hit a season-high 120 for Seaford in its match against Delacombe Park.

Nick Simpendorfer was also amongst the runs with 48, helping the visitors to 9/274.

Ben Brittain, Evan Campbell and Nick Christides all snared two wickets.

The Parkers will need to perform at their best with the bat to get out of this one.

The fifth-placed Seaford must win to keep their finals hopes alive.

Carey Sawosz was at his brilliant best again on Saturday for Hastings, picking up 5/42 against Flinders.

Luke Hewitt also bowled well, tak-

ing 3/57, however, despite their efforts with the ball, it didn’t prevent Flinders getting to 193.

Andrew Power top scored for the Sharks with 48, Shane Beggs scored 35 and Tim Clarke 30.

Boneo and Baden Powell are also locked in a bottom of the ladder tussle.

Boneo batted first on Saturday and made 155, Ryan Jellie top scoring with 46.

The Braves’ bowlers were good, Brendan Jovic bowling 21 overs and claiming 4/54.

Sean Wilson was sensational, bowling eight maidens in his 17.1 overs and finished with the impressive figures of 4/18.

Saints can’t handle the heat in top four push SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING went from chocolates to boiled lollies in MPCA Sub District cricket on Saturday.

After recording an outright victory in their last match and again putting themselves into finals contention, they failed with the bat on Saturday when placed under some real fire.

Rosebud is looking to cement its place in the top four and even push for a place in the top two, a position it has held for the most of the season.

The Buds hosted the Saints on Saturday, turned up the heat on the visitors and they wilted under the pressure.

It’s one thing to bully a lower side and get an outright, however, you have to be able to step up to the plate when the pressure is on.

Other than old stager Pete Mereszko with 26, no other Balnarring batsman gave the scorers any trouble.

Billy Quigley was the pick of the Rosebud bowlers with 4/37, helping his side roll the Saints for 116.

In reply, the Buds are 1/16.

Frankston YCW only made 123 against Ballam Park on Saturday, however, it find itelf in an outright position.

Currently 12 points outside of the four in sixth place, the Stonecats could leap frog Balnarring is they can pull off an outright in this match.

The Knights batted first on Saturday and were bowled out for just 58.

Andrew Kitson took 6/21 and Paul Bradley 3/21.

Frankston YCW was then bowled out for 123, still a lead of 65. Ryan O’Connor snared 6/29 for the Knights.

In their second innings, the Knights slumped to 4/34, still 31 behind with six wickets in hand. Kitson has nine wickets for the match after picking up 3/18 in the second dig.

Third placed Carrum Downs is in some strife against top of the ladder Pearcedale.

The Cougars batted first on Saturday and were rolled for 105. Shayne Gillings was at his best for the Panthers with 6/40.

In reply, Pearcedale is 1/40.

Tootgarook is in a commanding position against Dromana.

Batting first at Pier St Reserve, the Frogs smacked 9/315. Openers Rob French (94) and Luke Thompson (66) recorded an opening stand of 173 for the visitors.

Skipper Gerard Clarke then contributed 43 to help the Frogs past 300.

Zac Klan was the pick of the Hoppers’ bowlers with 4/125 from 29 overs.

Tyabb was on fire with the bat again on Saturday, hitting 8/299 against Skye.

The Yabbies were in some strife at 2/24, however Brodie Bennett and Jarrod White got things back on track.

Bennett smashed 123 and White played the supporting role, although he still did manage an unbeaten 105.

Paul Fillipone and Rohan Simpson each claimed two wickets for Skye.

Top performer: Aidan Pateman top scored for Mt Martha with 60 against Seaford Tigers in Saturday’s District match.
