Protest central

THE Hastings office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt has become a rallying point for protesters: the environment, coal mining and export, the Great Barrier Reef, and asylum seekers. The protesters come dressed as fish and angels to see the environment minister.

But the ones most able to affect Mr Hunt’s electoral chances are like those gathered outside his Hastings office on Friday. Mr Hunt emerged to “chat” with the people who live and vote in his electorate. Report Page 3

Talks to help elderly abuse victims Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au “SOMEONE cries and asks for help” every time Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders chair Jeanette Lane and her group run an Elder Abuse Awareness Day. “People talk about family violence but we think elder abuse is about the

second or third most common crime in the world,” Ms Lane said.

“We run programs on elderly abuse at Rosebud, Hastings and McRae because we want to get the message out there and we see and hear about some dreadful aspects.”

Ms Lane was talking in the lead up to the fourth National Elder Abuse Conference, being held by Seniors Right Victoria at the Pullman on the Park ho-

tel, Melbourne, 23-25 February.

The topic has special relevance for older residents of the Mornington Peninsula, where more than 10 per cent are aged over 75 years.

Shire statistics show a greater proportion of elderly residents live here than in the rest of Melbourne.

The 2011 Census shows those aged 70-84 accounted for 12.3 per cent of 17,761 people, compared to Greater Mel-

bourne’s 7.4 per cent of 16,400 people.

Those aged 85 accounted for 2.9 per cent of 4197 people, compared to Greater Melbourne’s 1.8 per cent of 3255 people.

At 11.7 per cent, Rosebud West has the peninsula’s highest proportion of people aged 85 and over.

With the ABC’s Libby Gorr as MC, the conference aims to bring together practitioners seeking a national ap-

proach to tackling elder abuse. Its theme is Ageism, Rights and Innovations.

Speakers are federal Attorney General George Brandis, Age Discrimination Commissioner Susan Ryan and Professor Marie Beaulieu, of Quebec, an expert on elder abuse. Other speakers are Professor Mick Dodson, of the Centre for Indigenous Studies, ANU, and Dr Jacqueline Berman.

NEWS DESK

Hunt stands firm on official asylum seeker line Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt last Friday defended the federal government’s policy of returning 267 asylum seekers, including 39 children and 33 babies, to the Nauru detention centre after they have received medical treatment in Australia.

He explained the government’s asylum seeker policies to 21 members of Amnesty International’s Mornington Peninsula branch gathered outside his Hastings office.

Amnesty member Murray Anderson said the group was unable to get assurances from Mr Hunt that children would not be detained or sent back to Nauru.

Amnesty has stepped up its campaign against offshore detention centres following a High Court decision which said the government’s policy was lawful.

Mr Anderson said he asked three times why children could not be brought to Australia before Mr Hunt “indicated that if detainees were to be given an Australian landing then the boats would start again and the smugglers will be back in business”.

“This answered my question and I upset Mr Hunt slightly when I said ‘Then you are holding the children as hostages’. It was the word ‘hostages’ to which I believe he took most umbrage,” Mr Anderson said.

“I do not believe [Mr Hunt] is not compassionate. He has worked overseas in Asia [and] would be fully aware of the dangers many asylum seekers face and feel for them.

“Unfortunately, his compassion in

these areas seems to be buried by his party loyalty. I wonder how he speaks in the party room.”

In a statement emailed to The News Mr Hunt said he met the group which “arrived at my office without an appointment” and had been able to “chat with them briefly between meetings”.

Mr Hunt said the “government wel-

comes input from anyone who has constructive feedback on how offshore processing can be improved”.

He also outlined how he believed “Labor’s failures” had led to increasing numbers of people seeking asylum in Australia and people dying at sea Amnesty International issued a news release saying it “believes that these

people seeking asylum would be at real risk of serious human rights violations if returned to Nauru”.

“Despite the findings of the High Court, which only examined Australian law, it is clear that their return would violate Australia’s international obligations,” Amnesty’s refugee coordinator Dr Graham Thom said.

“All asylum seekers on Nauru suffer the effects of harsh living conditions: their mental and physical wellbeing is being eroded each day, driving people to self-harm and attempted suicide.

“Additionally, Amnesty International has continually received extremely concerning reports of sexual harassment and sexual abuse of women and children asylum-seekers in Nauru.”

Mr Hunt said service providers were contracted by the government “to ensure transferees’ needs are adequately met, including health and welfare services and specialist services for those under 18 years of age”.

“Personally, I believe any life lost at sea is unnecessary and that is why the Australian government is working so hard to prevent further deaths of asylum seekers making their way to Australia,” he stated.

“Offshore processing in Nauru and Papua New Guinea is one part of a range of measures being used to stop the people smuggling trade and prevent further illegal maritime arrivals to Australia.

“All people transferred and accommodated at offshore processing centres are treated with dignity and respect and in accordance with human rights standards” Dr Thom said the Nauru processing centre “puts vulnerable people at risk and operates with an unacceptable lack of transparency”.

“This secrecy must be addressed and the independent monitoring mechanism - which was agreed to under the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture - needs to be established.”

Records of foreshore’s ebbs and flows are no fluke FLUKER posts have given Western Port residents and visitors a novel way to monitor and appreciate their natural environment.

The posts were installed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning as part of a “citizen science system� in which people can contribute to the natural environment by taking photos from fixed points (Fluker posts) and sending them to flukerposts@gmail. com which acts as central depository.

Three posts have been installed near Lord Somers Camp allowing people to send their images to a database where information about the local foreshore and ecosystem can be collated. Two of the posts are at the

mouth of Merricks Creek, with another nearby.

Each Fluker post is shaped so that digital cameras, including those in mobile phones, can be placed in the camera cradle, allowing the same perspective to be recorded over time. “DELWP is pleased the communities of Balnarring Beach and Somers and guests of Lord Somers Camp have such an easy way to help monitor the estuary and foreshore in this area,� land, planning and approvals regional manager Chris Padovani said. “We supported the installation of the posts because we know the benefits of community involvement when it comes to monitoring and protecting beautiful coastal

areas like Balnarring Beach and Somers.�

Lord Somers Camp and Power House CEO Mark Thomson said: “This project has empowered the community and volunteers of Lord Somers Camp and Power House to play an active role in monitoring a complex coastal ecosystem. Engaging the locals in environmental monitoring and management is an important long term strategy.�

The Fluker post project started in 2008 and there are now more than 100 in Victoria.

The Balnarring Beach Foreshore Committee combined with DELWP, Helen MacPherson Smith Trust and Victoria University to support the installation and use of the posts on public land.

Coming clean after fire’s devastation

Quarry meeting

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au EMMA Hopkins’ determination to help restore fire ravaged parts of Crib Point led to a successful clean-up operation, Saturday.

About 100 residents and 25 defence personnel spent five hours picking up rubbish and packing utes and trailers.

Areas targeted were the foreshore, train station, cemetery, Bay, Lorimer and Disney streets, and Governor Rd. Mornington Peninsula Shire provided two rubbish skips which Ms Hopkins said “were full within the first half hour”. They were due to be picked up yesterday.

“The amount of rubbish we collected was phenomenal,” Ms Hopkins said Monday.

“We found ovens, fridges, freezers, a full toilet, tyres everywhere, bikes, prams – even a full drum of hydrochloric acid.”

The group finished the day with a barbecue where Crib Point CFA captain David Jarratt was presented with a plaque commending the brigade’s efforts in the 18 January bushfires.

In a letter to Flinders MP Greg Hunt Ms Hopkins said she “was devastated by the fires and their effect on our beautiful town, flora and fauna.

“Walking along the Esplanade this evening, the fire has exposed a huge amount of rubbish from beer bottles to car wheels. I feel that it is important to remove this rubbish before the flora begins to rejuvenate and it becomes lost in dense scrub once more.”

Ms Hopkins said it was “important for the community to come together in

times of need, and I think you would agree that this is one of those times”.

“The local community is keen to participate in this clean up and it is a great opportunity to come together and turn such a terrifying and traumatic event into a more positive one.”

The inaugural Crib Point Community Recovery Committee meeting was held at the Crib Point Community House, Thursday 28 January. Community leaders and representatives from a broad range of organisations gathered to discuss plans for the district’s recovery process.

“The purpose of our initial meeting is to listen to your thoughts on what the Crib Point community’s needs are now and into the future,” social planning and community development,” Mornington Peninsula Shire’s social planner

Kathy Heffernan said.

“We would also like to hear your ideas for community activities that would provide opportunities for locals to come together to share experiences, support each other and, most of all, celebrate what makes this community great.”

The shire’s environment protection manager David Dobroszczyk said 19 community groups attended the meeting.

He said it would monitor the progress of the recovery and determine priorities; establish a communitybased recovery plan; identify community needs and resource requirements; make recommendations, and provide advice to the shire council and other agencies.”

Mr Dobroszczyk said issues dis-

cussed included responding to the needs of children who have experienced stress and anxiety. He said local schools and the shire’s youth services team would work together to provide information for parents.

The meeting discussed ways of improving dissemination of ‘fire ready’ information to the community, including a more proactive approach, with “the CFA already making plans to contact community organisations to promote the message as well as attending community events”.

Mr Dobroszczyk said the group would help plan events to build “on the strong community spirit” in Crib Point – including Saturday’s clean-up day and fundraising film night.

More community events will be discussed at the next meeting in March.

EXTENSIVE quarrying works and truck traffic at the Bayport quarry end of Pottery Rd, Somerville, will be the subject of a meeting at Bayport’s Pottery Rd site, Wednesday 10 February.

The dust, changes to the environment, and traffic noise and frequency, are of concern to many local residents, especially those living near Pottery, Wellington, and Jones roads, as well as Highfield Way, the Tyabb & District Ratepayers Association says.

The meeting is for residents of Wellington Rd and Highfield Way only. It will address their concerns regarding tree removal, land drainage, establishment of bunds, revegetation of the bunds and the work “going forward”.

Local government officers and Mornington Peninsula Shire have also been contacted by residents with concerns “but with no acceptable answers as yet”, the association says.

Residents wanting to discuss the impact of these works can call Bayport development manager Daniel Petroni, 0412 300 760 or 9770 3700.

Ratepayers to meet TYABB and District Ratepayers’ Group will meet 7pm, tonight (Tuesday 9 February), in the CFA meeting room, Tyabb. All welcome.

Local know-how on course Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A GOLF course designed and developed by experts from the Mornington Peninsula has been ranked 24th best in the world – and it has been open just two months.

The Cape Wickham Links course on King Island was given the honour

by Golf Digest magazine from 32,000 courses world-wide. The Digest is regarded as the world’s most widelyread golf publication, with monthly exposure to 5.5 million readers. It produces its World’s 100 Greatest Golf Course rankings every two years.

The links course was developed by Duncan Andrews, of Flinders, owner of The Dunes Golf Links, Rye, and

Where: The Village Green 932 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud Foreshore (Opposite 9th Ave)

was co-designed by Darius Oliver, of Mornington and American Mike DeVries.

The construction crew included Mark McIntosh, of Rye, irrigation design and installation; Geoff Baker, Mornington, irrigation installation; Programmed Turnpoint’ s Andrew Purchase, St Andrews Beach, project manager; Lindsay Richter, Dromana, main shaper, who built the greens, bunkers and tees; Glen Peck, Pearcedale, shaper; Clint Jensen, Rosebud, excavator operator; Stuart Purchase, Mt Martha, seeding and construction; and Pat Hura, St Andrews Beach, general construction.

“It would be great for the work these guys did building one of the world’s best golf courses to be recognised,” Mr Oliver said. “They did an

incredible job.”

Golf Digest described the Cape Wickham course as one of the “hottest new layouts on the globe”. Editor Ron Whitten described the Cape Wickham layout as “heart-pounding, starting along rocks and crashing surf, moving inland but not out of the wind, returning to ocean edge at the downhill 10th, pitch-shot 11th and drivable par-4 12th, then wandering into dunes before a crescendo closing hole curving along Victoria Cove beach, which is in play at low tides”.

Mr Oliver, whose dream job as a course architect takes him all over the world evaluating courses and consulting with developers and designers, said Tasmania had two top 40 courses: Barnbougle Dunes 33 and Barnbougle Lost Farm, 40.

WHAT’S NEW...

Read all about family fun day FAMILIES will celebrate all that’s good about reading at the Peninsula Reads Family Fun Day, Village Green, Rosebud, on Sunday.

The day will show what is happening with books on the Mornington Peninsula and offer a range of free activities, resources and takeaway books.

Entertainment will suit families and the day will showcase how the community embraces and supports reading and literacy.

Activities include sliding on the inflatable Jurassic Park, or patting a real lizard or crocodile.

Those preferring little furry creatures can join the petting zoo. There will be a sausage sizzle and live entertainment by school children and dance clubs.

Create your own boomerang, have your body painted with henna or glitter, and join in the fun with free “Life Be in It” games.

Dromana CFA will demonstrate a live rescue by cutting up a car at 12.30pm.

“Peninsula Reads is designed to improve literacy levels of families across the shire,” the mayor Cr Graham Pittock said.

“Its collaborative approach supports and involves families, early childhood services, schools and the community at large – all of whom have a role to play in promoting literacy and ensuring access to resources that promote literacy development.”

Peninsula Reads committee chair Cr Antonella Celi encouraged families to come along. “The Australian Book of World Records is offering us an opportunity to have the most people reading a book at the same time,” she said.

“Those attending can also take home a free Disney book and CD. So grab a book, enjoy the activities and celebrate the many fun things about reading,” she said.

Peninsula Reads Family Fun Day is 10am2pm, Rosebud Village Green, 932 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud foreshore (opposite 9th Av).

Reading ready: Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Cr Graham Pittock with Cr Antonella Celi, chair of the Peninsula Reads Committee, Lorni Landrigan with sons Brax and Ryder, Ben Felder, Kate and Lucas Masterton-Bojang, Heather and Jaxon Taylor at Rosebud library.

His baby: above, Duncan Andrews hams it up on an unfinished Cape Wickham Links, King Island, seaside green; left, Pat Hura smooths things out and, right, course architect: Darius Oliver.

for world class edge He said Cape Wickham, which opened in late October, had already generated enough custom to warrant extra flights to the island, with seven airlines listed online.

He said the publicity was attracting “a bunch of US golfers in the top 100” to the island and was confident it would exceed their expectations.

“I have been to 1500 courses in 50 countries and this is the best property I have seen, with its pristine coastline, layout, dune structure – and topped off by the tallest lighthouse in Australia overlooking it.

“The locals are thrilled; they’ve had a fair bit of negative publicity over the past few years and the population is less than half its peak.”

Although surprised by the speed at which the course entered the World’s Top 25, Mr Oliver said it was “validation of a quest to bring worldclass golf to King Island”.

“Our aim was to leave behind something

special that would attract thousands of golfers to the island. All credit goes to [developer] Duncan Andrews for having the courage to invest in something so remote and so risky, and for entrusting Mike DeVries and I with the design. We were largely unproven.”

Mr Andrews said praise of the course was “naturally very gratifying”.

“From day one all involved in the Cape Wickham project knew they were dealing with an exceptional piece of land, and to create anything less than a sublime golf experience would have been disappointing. It is pleasing that this is being formally recognised in a world context by an eminent magazine.”

The par-72, 18-hole course 6150 metres long and as it is a public resort does not have member play. Fees are $150 for 18 holes or $195 all day.

“That’s a popular choice, as many golfers play two rounds a day – including Premier [Daniel] Andrews,” Mr Oliver said.

Help for abused elderly Continued from Page 1 Dr Berman, of New York, will speak about the impact of elder abuse on older peoples’ mental health.

Seniors Rights Victoria says more than 90 per cent of all elderly abuse cases are by a relative.

About 67 per cent of that abuse is by children.

Ms Lane said she and a colleague, Evelyn Webster, “never stopped the whole time we were there” when running an elder abuse awareness program at Rosebud Plaza last year.

She described pleas for help from elderly people being physically, emotionally and financially abused – often by their children – as “mindboggling and frightening”.

“In one case, an elderly Rosebud man had been forced to live in the shed when his son took over his house. In another, two grandparents had been forced out of their home by their grandchildren with just the clothes on their backs and were living on the foreshore,” Ms Lane said.

“This kind of thing goes on and every time we run a program; we can’t believe the number of elderly people seeking our support.”

Positive-ageing summits will be held this year

at Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington.

The summits aim to make elderly people aware of abuse through discussions, talks and videos, and to advise on strategies to combat it.

“In one instance an elderly Mornington woman had gone to the bank only to find that her account had been cleaned out by her live-in son: she went home and abused him and told him not to touch her money. This was a positive action – not passive acceptance of the situation,” Ms Lane said.

“She stood up to her son and was strong – that’s the key to beating it.”

Case studies by Seniors Rights Victoria staff “based on our actual client experiences” on the peninsula show that in most cases, when the client seeks help, they are actually seeking help for their child rather than themselves. Parents just can’t stop being parents.

Older Victorians experiencing elder abuse can get help from Seniors Rights Victoria, 1300 368 821. The office is open 10am-5pm, Monday to Friday. Services include a helpline, legal services, short-term support and advocacy. Visit seniorsrights.org.au

Lining up and signing up for pier MEMBERS of the Save the Dromana Pier group made the most of the crowds at the Australia Day celebrations to get their point across.

“We had a marquee close to the shore end of the pier and nearly 500 people completed the survey form then and there,” committee chairman Ray Barnard-Brown said.

“We were seeking public opinion as to what people would like in a new pier when one is built after the existing pier is demolished in a few years.

“All who stopped were very supportive of what we are trying to achieve: to ensure that Dromana does not find itself without a pier at some time in the near future.

“The interest shown was enormous and not one person suggested that a replacement pier should not be constructed when the existing pier is demolished.”

“I think this was a staggeringly good result and will provide us with a very good idea of what people want in a new pier.”

The group has about 20 members.

Runabout win KARL Licis, of Safety Beach, will be spending more time on the water after winning a Haines Hunter 495 ProFish fibreglass cuddy cabin runabout in the annual Lions Club of Rye boat raffle.

The $36,500 prize included safety equipment, fish finder and registrations.

Mr Licis said he could not believe he had won until all the paperwork was finalised and his prize delivered.

The raffle’s 28,000 tickets were sold over a five months, raising $55,000 for community projects.

New principal arrives with vision, values and ideals

New principal: Anthony Banks “values the importance of the faith-based education of the whole person”.

PADUA College has appointed Anthony Banks as its new principal of its campuses at Mornington, Rosebud and Tyabb.

He and wife Sacha are back living in Mornington with their four children, Aurelia, 10, Ava, 8, Raphael, 6 and Layla, 4, after two years in Mildura as principal of St Joseph’s College.

Mr Bank’s says he is “thrilled and excited to be back in this beautiful part of the world”. He sees his role as “not a position of power or prestige, but as a position of privilege and service”.

“I look forward to serving the wonderful Padua College Community, which has the Catholic education of our young people at the centre of all that we do on a

daily basis,” he said.

Originally from a farming community in the Western District, Mr Banks attended Catholic schools in Ballarat. After 25 years as a teacher, he “values the importance of the faith-based education of the whole person espoused by Catholic education”.

“I intend to be respectful of following such a fine and long serving leader of the college in Christopher Houlihan, mindful of what is happening at the college this year and hopeful of the future directions of the college,” he said.

“Of course, I intend to add my vision, values and ideas and am looking forward to this exciting time in our development.”

This year the college will undertake a

facilities masterplan of the Mornington Campus to allow for the growth in student numbers that are expected over the next two years, and will participate in the school review-improvement plan process conducted by the Catholic Education Melbourne.

As part of the facilities masterplan process the college will prepare an educational brief “aimed at developing the best educational model to ensure the academic success of our students over the coming years”, Mr Banks said.

“We will also build on the strategies that have been put in place at the college over the past few years to ensure that academic rigor is at the forefront of our learning and teaching.”

Schools cleared after threats

PAGE 8

Western Port News 9 February 2016

BOMB threats created a dramatic start to the school year for hundreds of children on the Mornington Peninsula.

Pupils at Mornington Park, Eastbourne and Sorrento primary schools spent a terrifying afternoon evacuated or in lockdown after their schools received the hoax calls – most via automated messages.

For many pupils it was their second day of school.

By Friday senior police were saying the calls appeared designed to “cause disruption and attract media attention”.

Education Minister James Merlino said 20 schools across Victoria had received threatening phone calls alluding to bombings and shootings.

Sorrento Primary School principal Meg Dallas said her 320 pupils had been evacuated to the nearby community centre for one hour after staff received an automated call.

She said the school’s emergency management plan covered bomb threats, and staff and pupils had responded “fantastically”.

“They moved quickly and quietly to the community centre and the members there were magnificent, too,” Ms Dallas said.

Eastbourne Primary School principal Steve Wilkinson said a hoax call at midday saw the evacuation of 400 pupils to the “safest place – the school oval. The safety and welfare of our pupils is our priority”.

“We told the children straight out that we had an emergency and then enacted our management plan; the staff and pupils were magnificent and the whole process went like a drill, very smoothly,” Mr Wilkinson said.

The adjacent Seawinds Community Hub provided drinks and toilets.

Mornington Park Primary School principal Bev Dadds said an automated call at 12.15pm alerted them to the threat.

“I rang the police and made an emergency announcement to staff asking them to gather the children and class rolls and assemble on the school oval,” Ms Dadds said.

“We grabbed a big box of fruit on the way.

When we had made sure everyone was there we called the education department and the police who were amazing; we felt that we were really being supported.

“The children and the staff were calm and we had all our procedures in place.”

Ms Dadds said the 195 children were on the oval for 90 minutes. Parents were notified and many collected, while others were taken inside after being given the all clear.

A review of practices in the wake of the emergency has meant the school now has keys to the adjacent Narambi reserve and Currawong community centre toilets. Mornington police visited the school again next day.

Chief Police Commissioner Graham Ashton said that although the threats were a “hoax scenario” each one needed to be taken seriously.

“It may be that a particular call is not a hoax,” Mr Ashton said on Tuesday.

Federal and Victoria Police had been investigating the calls since Friday week. They were not regarded as terrorist-related, although federal police were investigating their “international elements”.

Church raiders dump icon, keep jewellery AN image of the Virgin Mary stolen from the Greek Orthodox church, Red Hill, has been found.

Mornington Peninsula CIU detectives were told two thieves entered the church, on Arthurs Seat Rd, around 3.50am Sunday.

CCTV footage shows them approaching a sealed glass box containing an icon of the Virgin Mary and gold jewellery.

After unsuccessfully trying to smash the glass, the thieves removed the case from the counter top, stealing the icon and assorted jewellery.

The case, Virgin Mary icon and other smaller pieces of jewellery were found, Thursday, on the side of White Hill Rd, Red Hill, not far from the church.

Police believe the items were dumped a few days before, but they say most of the jewellery stolen during the raid is still missing.

This is the second robbery at the church in 18 months.

In mid-2014, the glass covering the image was shattered by thieves who entered a side door on a Wednesday afternoon, but fled when The Rev Father Eleftherios Tatsis came into the church.

In that raid about $300,000 worth of gold chains, watches, coins and rings donated over almost 30 years, stolen.

Much of the gold and jewellery lay scattered near the door as the thieves made their escape. The icon was left behind that time.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000, or to submit a confidential report at crimestoppers.vic.com.au

Fire destroys house FIRE crews from seven Mornington Peninsula CFA brigades fought a fire which totally destroyed a house in Mornington-Flinders Rd, Red Hill, 2.30am, Saturday.

They fought the blaze for 45 minutes and stopped it spreading to a nearby hedge and shed and neighbour’s garage.

Sergeant Matt Paton, of Rosebud police, said the elderly owners of the 10-year-old brick veneer awoke to the smell of smoke and the sound of the alarm.

They attempted to fight the fire with a garden hose, but retreated when help arrived.

Police kept a guard on the property until daybreak and blocked nearby roads while they investigated the cause of the fire. They said it appeared to have started in kindling stored under a deck.

Gimme shelter

Caught in the act: Two men wearing hoodies or overalls are have been captured on CCTV raiding the Greek Orthodox church, Red Hill.

Items found: The Virgin Mary icon and pieces of jewellery found after being dumped on the side of the road.

SOMERVILLE Tyabb Rotary Club is building a barbecue shelter and seating next to the children’s playground at Tyabb Central Reserve.

The ground works will start 22 March and the shelter is expected to be completed 18 April. The “fair size� shelter is similar to the one on the Hastings foreshore, according to the Tyabb & District Ratepayers newsletter.

Dromana Rotary Club members are prefabricating the shelter and residents will see it taking shape over Easter.

The Rotary club is looking for help from the community and anyone who can help should call Dick Cox, 0437 793 162, or email rjwcox@bigpond. net.au.

Gallery volunteers reluctantly call ‘time’ AN established Flinders art gallery will close on Valentine’s Day (Sunday), with staff citing a shortage of new volunteers and reluctance by customers to spend on art works.

The Studio @ Flinders gallery has been run by volunteers for the past 12 years. But the five-member staff - Judi McCrum, Meredith Merrall, Ruth Petersen, Kaye Price and Kip Turner - are finding the going tough and their sense of commitment is starting to wane. “[The gallery] is all artist-run and people these days don’t seem to want to give up their time,� Ms Merrall said.

The volunteers originally thought others would come in “to take over the running� of the gallery, in Cook St, but that hasn’t happened to the extent needed. “It’s quite a commitment,� Mrs Merrall said, pointing out that she had worked nine full days, 10am-5pm, over the past month, for the love of it.

Now she’s ready for a little ‘me-time’.

Another long-standing volunteer, Kip Turner, said people “are starting to hang onto their dollars and one of the first things they let go of is art�. “They go to the $2 shop and buy things because they are financially not comfortable,� she said.

The gallery started out with 12 partners of whom three remain out of the five now working. “It’s very hard to get others in but, let’s face it, I’m 67 and some of the others are 10 years older than me.�

Ms Turner said the gallery’s focus had always been on promoting peninsula artists’ works in leather, wood, paintings and ceramics. “I will certainly miss seeing their work. It’s been

Sad to go: Kip Turner says it had been a privilege to sell peninsula artists’ works. Picture: Yanni

fantastic and a privilege to sell. “In Australia we don’t recognise our artists and it’s hard to get people excited by their works; hopefully that’s starting to change but people are fairly conservative down here.�

Ms Turner said during the past 12 years the gallery had become a fixture in Flinders and a favourite of locals and visitors to the Mornington Peninsula. “The variety of works displayed has

been exceptional and we have shown and sold many beautiful artworks over the years.�

Ms Turner said the gallery’s annual Melbourne Teapot Exhibition had “become a regular and much anticipated event on our calendar�. “Artists from all over Australia participated and, as well as having many famous potters exhibit, our judges were equally well-known, particularly in the ceramic world.

“The support we have had in the past from the local community has been strong and greatly appreciated by all the members of our team. In addition, the sponsorship we have had from local companies and businesses has been exceptional. “Without their generosity and support the teapot exhibition would not have been able to offer such attractive prizes to our participants.�

Ms Turner said the gallery staff

“hoped to go out with a flourish and give people the opportunity to come in and say goodbye�.

They are offering a 15 per cent discount on works still in the gallery until the 14 February closure. “We feel very much a part of the Flinders profile and will leave with a great deal of sadness,� she said. “The gallery has been a passionate and beloved commitment on our part for a long time.�

Pledge of faith to country and religion CHILDREN brought up within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are being taught to be loyal to Australia.

“We will prove it with our actions and deeds that our youth are the best citizens of Australia and they will be well educated,” Inamul Haq Kauser said when speaking at an Australia Day dinner.

Guests at the dinner Sunday 31 January for 300 at the Baitu-us-Salam (House of Peace) Mosque, Langwarrin, included members of parliament, councillors and police.

Imam Kauser, national president of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, gave assurances that the children of Ahmadi Muslims “will be loyal to this country”.

The imam told diners that Ahmadis were persecuted throughout the world, particularly in Pakistan, and were grateful to have been allowed to settle in Australia.

He described houses and shops belonging to Ahmadi Muslims in other countries being “robbed and reduced to rubble”.

Ahmadi mosques were ordered shut by local imams and authorities.

“Hundreds of Ahmadi Muslims have been killed merely for worshiping Allah or God,” Imam Kauser said.

“Australia is such a great country, who has given shelter to us, who has shared our pain and suffering. We are very thankful to this country. I’ve no wordings how to convey that feelings which my community has,” Imam Kauser said.

“We pledge that we’ll always be loyal to Australia. We pledge that we will always be peaceful, loving and

law-abiding citizens of this country.

We remember very well the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad: The Love of your country is a part of your faith. With this commandment, we pledge our loyalty to Australia, to its people and its government.”

Imam Kauser said Australia Day represented “a day of freedom”.

“The announcement to the whole world that Australia is a free country and those who come and be Australians, they enjoy the freedom wherever they go,” he said.

“It is a day of celebrating peace for the victims ignored and suffered. This is like a shelter for them. It is like a homeland for them.”

The event also included the raising of the Australia and Victorian flags, a recitation from the Koran and Ahmadi children singing the national anthem, Advance Australia Fair.

South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich said Ahmadiyya Muslims had done “a wonderful job … demystifying Islam and promoting interfaith dialogue and friendship”.

Fellow Seawinds ward councillor David Gibb has spent $19,147, an overspend of $3147 or 19.6 per cent.

Chief financial officer Matt Hubbard said the extra expenses incurred by Crs Celi and Gibb had been approved by “council resolution” for them to attend “additional professional education programs governed by examinations”.

He said this type of spending was available to all councillors.

Cr Celi has been doing a $10,000 diploma in local government since early in her term on council, leaving only $6000 for other spending under the shire’s Councillor Resource Expense Entitlements Policy.

All councillors are entitled to $4000 a year, or $16,000 over the four-year council term.

Cr Gibb used $7000 for a director’s course, leaving only $9000 before he reached his $16,000 allowance ceiling.

Cr Celi’s spending comprises nearly 20 per cent of what all councillors have spent on seminars and confer-

ences since the 2012 elections, the figures reveal.

In contrast, the table sent to councillors in the briefing papers show Cr Andrew Dixon has spent nothing so far in this term, which ends with the council election on 22 October.

Cr Celi referred inquiries from The News to communications and media manager Mark Kestigian.

The third Seawinds councillor, the mayor Graham Pittock, has chalked up $10,505 (excluding an estimated $6000 trip to Paris), taking the ward total to $60,462 for the period. Nepean

ward’s Hugh Fraser (who also went to paris at an estimated cost of $6000) and Tim Rodgers each spent between $15,000 and $16,000, for a total of $30,949.

Briars ward’s three councillors combined, Anne Shaw, Bev Colomb and Cr Dixon, have spent $22,926 in total.

Cr Pittock said his ward colleagues were “hard-working councillors and probably needed the extra funds”.

According to the shire figures Cr Celi spent $8336 in 2012-13, exceeding by $4336 that year’s entitlement. Councillors can “borrow” from future years to

attend conferences and seminars but must not exceed the four-year limit.

In 2013-14 Cr Celi spent a further $8362, bringing her total spend to $16,698, or $698 over her four-year entitlement in just two years. Cr Celi was mayor that year.

Then in 2014-15 Cr Celi’s spending was $12,835, bringing her total to $29,533. She has added $1276 to that sum in the current year, for a total of $30,810.

The most recent debate, in council and in public, about councillor spending on conferences and seminars, fol-

Ambassador on market THE Ambassador Hotel function centre in Frankston is being demolished but the site is back on the market after a sale at auction late last year fell through.

Winning bidder Harry Matsoukas said he was “not involved with that any more” when contacted

by The News last month.

Lender the Jadig Group repossessed the property at 325 Nepean Highway late last year after previous owner Joanna Kordos, who had planned to build 37 apartments at the site, did not make loan payments.

Jadig Group managing director Jack Gringlas said the company had decided to demolish the function centre since Frankston Council had grown increasingly frustrated with repeated failures by Ms Kordos to tear down the building, regarded as an eyesore and magnet for drug users.

“I took the view that if we have to put it back on the market it’s going to be much more saleable as a vacant block,” Mr Gringlas said.

Mr Gringlas said the Jadig Group is in negotiation with several potential buyers and is looking for about $2.5 million for the property.

lowed the decision last November to send councillors Graham Pittock and Hugh Fraser to the Paris climate change conference.

The Paris request went to council’s 23 November meeting where an officer’s report estimated the cost of each councillor’s attendance at $6146 plus incidental expenses.

The estimated cost of sending the two councillors to Paris would not push either councillor over their $16,000 four-year limit, according to the officer report – a statement that appears in each staff report to council on applications to attend conferences or seminars.

It has since been revealed that the shire’s renewable resources team leader Jess Wingad accompanied Crs Pittock and Fraser to Paris.

After close questioning in a long and heated debate about the need for the shire to be represented at the climate change conference, councillors approved the applications. But, in amended resolutions, councillors Pittock and Fraser were required each to present a report to council on their return.

It was also resolved that “a fully itemised expenditure report relating to the conference be tabled to council” for each councillor.

As well, it was resolved that the cost of Cr Fraser’s attendance “be capped to the $16,000 four-year term limit”.

All councillors took part in these votes, apart from the two prospective attendees, who left the chamber to avoid any conflict of interest.

OAM for yachtie who helped create first ‘wingsail’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au VETERAN international yachtsman John Houston Buzaglo is known around the world as “Buz” although some of his mates have taken to calling him Sir Buz after he was awarded an OAM on Australia Day. Now in his 92nd year, the Mornington resident was given a gong for “services to sailing as a yachtsman and [sailing] instructor”.

Buzaglo is best known for co-founding a syndicate that built the world’s first solid-sail racing yacht – it looks like an airplane wing atop a catamaran.

Sponsored by Melbourne-based Nylex Corporation, the C Class catamaran Miss Nylex was built in 1971 and defended the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy (more popularly known as the Little America’s Cup) against New Zealand in 1974. It set the Australian speed record for a sailboat of 21 knots in 1972, beat the best 18-footers in Sydney Harbour, and inspired a revolution in racing yacht design.

(Nylex chief Peter (later Sir Peter) Derham, a keen yachtsman himself, was the man who backed the visionary project in 1971. On the peninsula, Sir Peter, who died in 2008 at age 83, was best known for starting Red Hill Estate winery.)

Buzaglo’s love of boats started as a boy when he and his two younger brothers built canoes to paddle on a creek near their home in the Dandenong Ranges. In a sign of things to come, he once built a glider with a three-metre wing span. He installed the family cat as test pilot. On its first flight, the cat jumped out just before it crashed.

In his teens he met lifelong mate John “Jock” Scrivenor, who introduced him to sailing in the summer of 1938-39 at Frankston Yacht Club.

Buzaglo joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1942 at age 17 and served on corvettes in the Indian and Pacific oceans, chasing enemy submarines, removing mines, and escorting sup-

All abuzz: John Buzaglo of Mornington was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on 26 January for services to yachting. He is holding a photo of Miss Nylex, the “wingsail” catamaran that revolutionised international yacht racing including the modern America’s Cup. Picture supplied

ply fleets. He rose to the rank of sub-lieutenant and was gunnery officer on his last ship, HMAS Wagga, which was part of the liberation of Hong Kong.

At war’s end he joined a firm called Moulded Products, headed by Melbourne plastics manufacturing pioneer John Derham, Sir Peter’s father. One of the company’s brand names was Nylex, and Moulded Products became Nylex in 1967, later becoming one of the great plastics makers in Australia and giving its name to the world-famous C Class cat.

Buzaglo built his first yacht, a 16 footer (4.8

metres), in his backyard at Cheltenham, and sailed it on Port Phillip with Kath and their two daughters Lynne and Robyn. They were founding members of Beaumaris Yacht Club and later joined Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron.

In the 1950s he saw his first catamaran on the beach at Blairgowrie, near where he holidayed each summer with his family, and later bought an XY16 kit from the “father” of cat design in Australia, Charlie Cunningham.

Buzaglo joined the Cunningham team on its C Class cat Quest in the 1960s and with Charlie’s son Lindsay had success in the United States

and nearly won the Little America’s Cup in the United Kingdom in 1965, capsizing when hit by a squall in sight of the finishing line while leading the Brits in the final race of the best-ofseven series.

The Cunninghams finally won the coveted cup in 1970. The next year Buzaglo and his sailing mates Frank Strange and Chris Wilson founded the Miss Nylex syndicate to take on Quest at trials to pick an Australian defender for the 1972 series.

Miss Nylex performed best but selectors chose Quest as they were worried about the radical wingsail being damaged during the defence against the Americans. The wingsail was designed by syndicate member Roy Martin, who worked at General Motors Holden in Port Melbourne. He was named Australian Yachtsman of the Year in 1974, the first time a designer had won.

Miss Nylex won the right to defend the cup in 1974 and trounced New Zealand’s Miss Stars 4-0. Light winds ruined the 1976 defence off Sorrento and Miss Nylex was beaten by a lighter boat, Aquarius from the United States.

After the syndicate disbanded, Buzaglo finished his 32-year career with Nylex Corporation, where he was advertising manager, in 1978 and he and Kath bought a property on Hunts Rd, Bittern, built a lake and started Linden Lake Sailing School, which he operated for 17 years, teaching thousands of children (and some adults) in a safe and controlled environment.

The couple moved to a townhouse within a stone’s throw of Fishermans Beach in Mornington about 20 years ago. Until last year, Buzaglo was co-owner of a historic wooden fishing boat stored at the marina in Hastings and regularly threw a line into Western Port with his mates.

In mid-2014 Buzaglo started his autobiography, which will be published this year. It’s called A wing and a prayer: how Australian ingenuity produced the world’s first solid wingsail catamaran and retained the Little America’s Cup.

Mornington Yacht Club sails into its 70th MORNINGTON Yacht Club has come a long way since 11 interested residents met to discuss forming a sailing club in February 1946.

Members of the founding group wanted to sail their assorted collection of boats off Shire Hall beach. In May that year Mornington Council leased the group an ex-Army hut close to the pier. This served as the catalyst for development of competitive sailing in the district.

Now, 70 years later, the vibrant and diverse club with more than 750 members will hold an open day on the weekend of 20-21 February.

The Back to Mornington YC Weekend will be open to the public and past members are being encouraged to attend.

Features will include displays of historic photographs and boats, a 70th anniversary fleet race on the Saturday close to pier and shore viewing places, live music , free morning and afternoon tea, and opportunities to sail.

Back in the early days, the heavyweight Sharpie introduced in 1947 served as the backbone of the club for the next 10 years. Inter-club sailing took place between Black Rock, Mordialloc, Chelsea and Frankston yacht clubs. The Sharpie era culminated in the club holding a successful state championship in 1951.

In those days there was limited training for junior sailors other than learning the ropes as a bailer boy in Sharpies. This all changed in 1956 with the introduction of the Sabot as a training boat for juniors which was supported by a home-building

program.

This became the foundation for the club and introduced hundreds of boys and girls to sailing as a sport.

For many years the Sabot fleet was the largest in the state and Mornington members won six state titles and two Australian championships.

In the past 10 years or so the Sabot has been replaced by the Optimist with similar success.

In 1964 the club had 156 members, a number which increased rapidly following a grant of reclaimed land near the pier on which a new clubhouse was built.

Western Port News 9 February 2016

New classes were introduced, including the Gwen 12, Cherub, Fireball and Mirror dinghy as a family class.

The first Flying Fifteen in Australia sailed at Mornington and became one of the major classes at the club.

Several are still sailing today and share the hard-stand area with a fleet of Etchells.

In the mid-1950s a strong keelboat fleet began at the club and ocean racing flourished with Mornington yachts winning divisions of the Sydney to Hobart, Queenscliff to Devonport, Melbourne to Hobart and Sydney to Noumea ocean races.

Keelboat racing is still important, with weekly races for two divisions of keelboats and for the strong trailable yacht fleet which continues to grow.

Club members have won around 20 state and five national titles and one world championship.

The club has also hosted several state, national and one world championship. Not all the sailing at Mornington is ultra-competitive and the club runs a Thursday evening twilight series in summer.

In 1999 club members established a Sailability program to provide sailing experience for those with disabilities.

The program has run ever since with sessions held twice weekly throughout the sailing season. A participant has won a Victorian championship and sailed successfully in national and international events.

Training programs are also run for schoolchildren and anyone who wants to learn to sail.

Seventy years on and Mornington Yacht Club is a vibrant, active member of the Mornington community.

Coastal Antiques They’re all Hart AFTER working in construction for many years, Hans Van Lieshout and his wife Sara decided it was time for a change.

So Hans put his lifelong love of antiques to good use and quickly opened Coastal Antiques in Tyabb.

“We opened on December 18, a month or so after we decided to do it,” said Hans.

“For many years while I was in construction, I played with the idea of this, having dabbled in antiques for over 20 years.

Finally my wife said to me you’re not getting any younger so I decided to bite the bullet and here we are.”

After a lot of hard work, Hans and Sara opened Coastal Antiques and already have an incredible set up with a huge variety of antiques, Victorian furniture, pottery, retro vintage and collectibles.

“We have quite an extensive range with a large area of 250 square metres, two main rooms and a lovely central courtyard.”

A lot of the pottery comes from the UK with Coastal Antiques stocking a good variety of Wedgewood and Carltonware, and as Hans points out, anything that’s unusual.

“We currently have in our possession a fabulous water colour from Notre Dame which has a letter from the Queen taped on the back, and also a plaque that has been blessed by the Pope,” he said.

“We are unique in our concept of what we do.

We have a front shop that is full of antiques, a lovely courtyard which is nice and relaxing, and a big workshop at the back which is converted into the retro vintage section.”

Coastal Antiques is at 1523 Frankston Flinders Road, Tyabb and open every day except Tuesday. Phone 5977 4894.

RIGHT in the heart of the Tyabb Packing House is the aptly named café, ‘The Hart of Tyabb’ with an extensive seasonal menu with a focus on fresh, house-made produce.

Owner Tony Hart took over the business more than two years ago and quickly changed it from a tea room to a popular café/restaurant with a versatile menu cooked by their very own chef.

“Basically, everything we produce is made by us so we don’t buy anything in at all.

It’s all fresh food, including seafood specials, salads, soups, homemade sausage rolls, and our very popular cauliflower burger,” said Tony.

The Hart of Tyabb will always have the old favourites like the Devonshire teas, great coffee and cakes, but also mix it up a bit with their pumpkin salad and very popular pumpkin tart which customers come back for time and time again.

“Our chef uses local fresh ingredients; last week we had king fish and this week it was soft shell crab. And our clientele are expanding also, with people making it a regular haunt for our great coffee, good teas and extensive menu,” said Tony.

At The Hart of Tyabb you can dine inside or alfresco and, being fully licenced, it is always a nice spot to sit and enjoy a relaxing local wine or beer.

The Hart of Tyabb is open Thursday to Sunday from 10am till 5pm at 14 Mornington Road, Tyabb. (Inside the Tyabb Packing House).

Rose trivia  The largest rose bloom ever bred was a pink rose measuring approximately 33 inches in diameter.  The longest living rose is believed to be over a thousand years old and grows on the wall of Hildesheim in Germany. Its presence has been documented since 815 A.D. It is a wild dog rose, or Rosa canina.  Rosa Mundi (R. gallica versicolor) is the oldest striped rose variety, available since 1581.  The oldest fossilized imprint of a rose was found in Florissant, Colorado, and is estimated to be 35 million years old.  One rose hip contains as many as 40 to 50 seeds.  Rose hips contain more Vitamin C than oranges.  There are no species roses which originate

south of the equator.  Buds of the smallest roses are the size of a grain of rice.  There are no true-blue or black species roses because roses lack a gene to produce delphinine, which is the source of blue colouring.  Cleopatra knew the seductive power of roses and made sure she was surrounded by them when she entertained Mark Antony.  William Shakespeare refers to roses more than 30 times in his writing.  The ancient romans believed by putting rose petals in wine, it would prevent drunkenness.  Rose water was used to cure ailments like trembling, constipation, skin and throat infections, and insomnia.  You can prolong your rose’s vase life by adding sugar, aspirin, or Viagra.

LETTERS Waste of energy

Halt charge schemes

It seems ludicrous in this day and age that a council can develop a comprehensive “strategic” plan over the past 20 months, yet come up with only two solutions: keep filling up the Rye tip or export the problem somewhere else.

What a triumph of timidity and short sightedness. No wonder the councillors are at loggerheads.

Irrespective of these two options, both of which incur additional expense for ratepayers, neither addresses the issue of greenhouse gas emissions.

It makes Mornington Peninsula Shire's much vaunted zero emissions strategy a complete nonsense.

The Municipal Waste Strategy points out that waste contributes 48 per cent or 16,976 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This will not change.

The same strategy tells us that street lighting and electricity contribute 9689 tonnes (28 per cent) and 7023 tonnes (20 per cent) respectively, totalling 48 per cent.

Waste, street lighting and electricity costs make up 96 per cent of the shire's emissions and this means an estimated $25 million of ratepayer revenue literally becomes CO2.

The council has completely ignored waste to energy technology in its strategy.

A consortium of councils in Western Australia signed off on a $400 million project, the Kwinana thermal waste facility, funded partly from federal and state governments. It will reduce the amount of landfill by using thermal technology to incinerate waste and convert it into energy. It seems quite obvious that this technology would achieve two things for the shire: reduce greenhouse gas from waste and reduce greenhouse gas from electricity and street lighting.

Using our domestic waste to produce electricity and reduce emissions would seem an obvious solution. There are winners all round, not least the ratepayers.

How about it, Mornington Peninsula Shire, will you update your waste strategy with this common sense solution?

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council continues to extract thousands of dollars over and above annual rates by imposing special charge schemes on unsuspecting residents, usually for footpath construction.

There is absolutely no prior consultation. You receive a letter from council indicating you will have to pay thousands of dollars for your share of the cost, even if most of the residents in your street don’t want a footpath.

These insidious charges are likely to become more widespread as the state government limits annual rate increases to CPI and the council continues to live beyond its means. If council cannot afford to build a footpath from rate revenue then it should wait until it can.

A bill from council for thousands of dollars can be devastating for young couples paying off hefty mortgages, retirees on fixed incomes and anyone experiencing financial pressure.

Lack of consultation has recently led to bitter disputes in Somers, McCrae and Sorrento. In the Coppin Rd, Sorrento, footpath scheme the design ignores so many safety issues (known to local residents) that risks to pedestrians will actually increase. This is despite the proximity of two schools and a pre-school centre.

Incredibly, the footpath ends at Nepean Highway opposite the front beach, where family groups armed with umbrellas, eskies and other beach essentials attempt the hazardous crossing.

There should be a moratorium on the use of special charge schemes until council gets its act together and devises genuine consultation strategies that take the community with them.

Until then, these schemes and the councillors who support them, will continue to attract the contempt and opposition they deserve.

Geoff Allen, Sorrento

Waste is waste Mornington Peninsula council has a "carbon neutral" policy (why?) and by closing the Rye tip nearly half of the shires' carbon gas emissions will be eliminated (“Council backflip over tip's future", The News 2/2/16). What a hoax.

Any intelligent person could see that peninsula residents will still be producing the same waste and that if it is transported off the peninsula the carbon gases are still produced elsewhere.

Similarly, our mayor [Cr Graham Pittock] enlightened by his free trip to the Paris talk fest, wants lots of wind power generators on the peninsula. My mind questioned his sanity but now I understand: all that wind power generated will allow "carbon credits" for the peninsula so that it could eventually have "zero carbon emissions".

This great, worldwide, carbon emissions fraud has gone far enough. Our council should get away from grandiose ideals which are beyond its ken or scope and stick with the functions that councils were created for in the first place.

Only when the world reverses its relentless, exponential, fatal, population growth (expanding market) will we know that governments are serious about reducing carbon emissions.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Gravel is good The existing gravel pathways in Somers, on a sandy soil base, are never maintained and do a great job; any assessment would prove both their suitability and durability.

Why does Mornington Peninsula Council want to construct a network of wide concrete pathways, which is out of keeping with the character of a quiet coastal village?

If some pathways are necessary, why not keep them informal and prevent unnecessary tree removal?

Modern disability vehicles are able to handle level informal pathways very easily if road crossings are given some attention.

A gentler solution is warranted to attend to the perceived safety issues rather than the sledge hammer approach proposed.

Pam Bannister, Somers

Footpath alert The network footpath scheme in Somers has been handled with utter contempt for ratepayers. The two most needed paths, Camphill Rd and the end of Lord Somers Rd, would normally be paid by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and were existing high priority paths. By adding extremely low priority paths into a network, council has included almost all ratepayers in Somers in a special charge scheme and tried to sell the idea as beneficial to all when it is clearly of little or no benefit to most.

Many people live far away from the paths and some already have formal paths and will be forced to pay again.

According to the Somers Residents Association secretary Ray Mc Hutcheon in his submission to council the council underwrote information sent by the association to all ratepayers. Much of this information was incorrect and council is now charging Somers Ratepayers $750,000 on the dubious claim that most residents want wide concrete paths slashing through roadside vegetation.

The rest of us ratepayers will contribute another $750,000 toward the $1.5 million scheme.

Shame on council officers for their lack of transparency and consultation and for allowing the SRA to spend ratepayer’s money on something that misled the trusting citizens of Somers.

Misinformed over paths Why did Council Officers fail to properly inform ratepayers about the true nature of the proposed Somers Path Network Special Charge Scheme before the formal notification to ratepayers?

Mornington Peninsula Council had many years to clear up the misinformation that was sent out with its assistance. It permitted the spread of information in surveys and petitions that influenced people into believing [the Somers footpath] to be a very different scheme than the one now proposed.

Many people were, and still are, confused, and many still seem to believe the misinformation that was widely circulated.

The council has done nothing apart from the formal notification to correct these misconceptions or to correctly ascertain community views.

Anne Kotzman, Somers

Attention welcome One wonders who is “Out of touch” (Letters, 2/2/16). Cr Andrew Dixon of Briars Ward expresses concern at the lack of community infrastructure and cost of transporting Mornington Peninsula’s waste. He has been in office for three years and, finally, his new found concerns for ratepayers and their costs is welcomed.

Since his election the shire has increased its revenue from rates and charges by a massive 25 per cent. In that time rates have risen three times more than the cost of living and increases in wages. No doubt Cr Dixon will strongly support the state government’s initiative of capping council rates next financial year.

The ratepayers and residents of Briar's Ward will recall that after the last local government elections Cr Dixon overlooked his "no costly Rosebud ($40 million) pool" mandate from his Briar's Ward electorate and voted in favour of such a pool on the Rosebud foreshore when a much cheaper pool could have been built inland.

Cr Dixon also indicates that the shire has 192 kilometres of coast to manage. This is incorrect as most of the coast is Crown land and is the responsibility of the state government. The shire manages only a relatively small section of foreshore on behalf of the government, including camping areas for which it receives fees to offset its costs.

Cr Dixon and the other two Briars Ward councillors have been slow in keeping us ratepayers up to date with the progress of the fully state funded CCTV system promised four years ago for Mt Eliza. Where is it and when will it be fully functional?

At the next election the residents of Mt Eliza and Briars Ward deserve a councillor who can make a difference and see out all the shire meetings instead of heading for the door when faced by contrary opinions.

Ian Morrison, secretary Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association

Please explain I wonder if the MP for Flinders Greg Hunt would be able to give me an explanation why it is necessary to keep children in detention in our various concentration camps and other prisons?

He is my federal representative and I would like to hear his personal justification or why he doesn’t speak out about this inhumane state of affairs.

I don't need the official party spin from the immigration minister, I want Mr Hunt’s personal opinion.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Emissions increase In response to Greg Hunt MP for Flinders and Environment Minister (“Australia ‘on track”, Letters, 26/1/16) his attempt to reassure residents we are on track fails to point out the targets place Australia at the very back of the pack and are so low we will meet them even as emissions continue to rise.

Recently, the minister embarrassingly fell on his own sword, telling ABC TV’s 7.30 program that the Yale environment performance index was a world leading climate indicator – to which we agree. Well, the Yale index just dropped Australia 10 places, ranking his policies among the worst in world in the category of climate and energy.

We are now ranked 82nd in this category, with only Saudi Arabia worse than us.

Over the past decade nearly every country has improved its score, except Australia, which under [the federal government’s] Direct action [policy] has increased its CO2 emissions. We are going the wrong way and it’s no surprise we ranked almost last in the world at the Paris climate talks.

How much longer should peninsula residents put up with such consistent failure by the minister to manage our environment, our economy and our future?

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Lack of interest Evelyn Taylor (“Track already beaten”, Letters.

2/2/2016) comments on a range of charges being changed by the federal government. What she doesn’t do is say how all the activities she wants fixed are to be paid for. Anyone can make a list but it requires a thinking person to identify a solution.

The reason these changes are being made is because the Rudd-Gillard government left a financial mess. The usual result from such a government.

The Turnbull government is having to cope with $20 billion budget deficits, a national debt of over $300 billion and a monthly interest cost of this debt of almost $1.7 billion. Think how much this debt is going to cost taxpayers when interest rates return to 5-6 percent.

In the meantime, Evelyn should think how easily it would be to do all the things she lists if $1.7 billion was available to pay for these items.

Barrie Hunt, Mt Eliza

ENJOYING perhaps the best location in town with High Street, supermarkets and the library all within a 1 to 2 block radius, this splendid period home is an opportunity not to be missed. The block-fronted Victorian era home has been transformed again by a major renovation with a striking street appeal highlighted by timber decking from the footpath to the front door. Baltic pine floorboards extend along the wide hallway and throughout all rooms of the home, with high ceilings accentuating the sense of space and light. From the front, there are two spacious bedrooms, and a third bedroom is opposite a handsome formal lounge

with built-in bookcase and cupboards. In keeping with the heritage of the property, all rooms have a delightful open fire place. A quaint kitchen and meals area also receives terrific natural light from the large windows that look out to the rear of the property. The kitchen has solid timber bench tops, a dishwasher and a stainless-steel under bench oven with gas cook top. There is the one bathroom with a double shower, free-standing bath and toilet, with a separate laundry. The back of the home has been transformed into a private outdoor room which will greatly increase the living space, particularly during these warmer months. The area

is fully undercover and partially enclosed with shade blinds and there is lighting overhead, making this area a welcome entertaining space for family and friends. The 992 square metre block has been well-fenced with off-street parking alongside the home where a set of double gates open to a wide gravel driveway leading up to a huge garage with high-span parking for boats and caravans, a second garage and a single carport.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Poll to establish electric lighting Compiled by Melissa Walsh IN the 139th list published last week the name of Private Frayne, of Tyabb, appears among those who are ill. *** MR Alf. S. Wesley notifies his friends, through our advertising columns, that he has secured a renewal of license for an extended term, of Kirkpatrick’s Hotel, on the Esplanade, Mornington. *** IN response to a request from the committee of the Somerville show, Major Campbell has altered the date of the sale of furnishings at “Amesfield Park” from Wednesday, 15th March, (that being show day) to Monday, 18th March. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday next, February 14th, in Somerville Hall, at 8 p m.

Show, and other matters will be discussed. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Progress Association is called for Wednesday evening next in the Mechanics’ institute. The meetings have been allowed to lapse during the holiday season, but the members are now requested to attend this meeting, and commence work for the year. *** A public meeting, under the auspices of the Red Cross and Progress societies, was held at Balnarring, on 5th

inst, to discuss ways and means towards entertaining a contingent of wounded soldiers at the beach, in March. Mr S. Perron acted as secretary. Ex-councillor Davies was in the chair. *** ANOTHER of the old identities of Frankston passed away on Tuesday last, in the person of Mr. William Davey, who died at his son-in-law’s residence, Malvern, after a short illness, at the age of 73 years.

He was born at Gardiner’s Creek, and came to Frankston as a boy with his parents, residing at Davey’s Bay. He was formerly owner of the Bay View Hotel, Frankston, and while in business made many friends by his generous and obliging disposition.

He leaves a widow and four sons and four daughters by his first wife to mourn their loss. The remains were buried in the Frankston cemetery. *** A surprise party, consisting of a number of members of St Paul’s Club and choir, Frankston, journeyed to Chelsea, on Thursday night, to visit Mr and Mrs Will Gregory, late of Frankston. During the evening a number of games were played, and at supper a presentation of a handsome biscuit barrel was made. The opportunity was taken to present a tea set to Mrs F. Benson on behalf of St Paul’s club and choir. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions on Monday last, J. F. Phillips was charged by the police with reck-

less driving of a motor car on 21st January last on the Point Nepean road.

The bench was occupied by Mr Cohen, P.M., and Messrs Crawford, Oates and Grant. J’s.P. Jas Cottier gave evidence that he was riding home from work on his bicycle on the evening mentioned, and when near the mile bridge, he heard the toot of a horn, and got off the road on to the sand on his right side, but before he knew anything more the car had run into him; smashed his bicycle up, and severely injured himself.

He was rendered unconscious, and was bruised from head to foot. This evidence was corroborated by H. M’Comb and D. Kelly, who were also returning from work at the time.

The defendant tried to show that it was Cottier’s fault that the accident occurred, but the Bench decided that the case had been proved, and imposed a fine of 60s with 9s costs. Mr Secombe appeared for the defence. *** AT the annual meeting of parishioners of St Paul’s, Frankston, it was announced that the ordinary contributions for last year had slightly increased as compared with the previous year, but that the funds were poor on account of no concert having been organised during the year.

The Wardens for this year are Messrs J. Reynolds (Hon. Sec.); P. Wheeler (Hon. Treas.); and C. V. G. Williams. Six other men were also elected to act on the Vestry, viz :— Dr Maxwell and Messrs A. Bailey, T.

Deane, J. C. Garrood, Geo. May and Scarborough.

It was decided to work for a big Easter offering this year, also a proposal was carried to organise a conversation at Easter time and so develop the social life of the Church more fully. *** BEFORE the war ordinary English paper cost 1¾d per lb. ; now it costs 2¾d. In addition to this, freight has more than doubled. The packing was free; now it is 32s 6d per ton. Art paper was 4d per lb., now it is 6d. Imitation art paper was 2¼d and 2½d; now it is 3½d and 4¾d. Calendar paper has raised from 2¾d to 4½d.

Ordinary news printing paper has increased by 40 per cent. Heavy increases have also taken place in writing papers, cards, pasteboards and all printers sundries. Sulphide papers, used for wrapping, have risen 100 per cent. *** GOOD morning ! Have you paid your subscription yet ? Perhaps you owe for last year or several years.

Now, you understand we don’t need the money; we have hundreds to get.

But really it is an imposition to let people go carrying our money when we are so strong and healthy, and so abundantly able to bear the burden ourselves. For this reason we ask anybody who has any of our money in their possession to leave it at the office, or send it by post, freight, train, express, or any other way, just so long as it gets here.

Silver and gold are heavy, and it

would be a matter of life long regret to us if anyone should get bowlegged, carrying it about for us. *** WE again call the attention of our readers to the fact that a poll of ratepayers will be held at Frankston, Somerville, and Hastings, on Thursday, February 17th, to decide whether an Order-in-Council shall be granted to the Frankston Gas Company to allow them to establish Electric Light and Power throughout the Shire of Frankston and Hastings.

The advantages of electric light are numerous. The public lighting will be more efficient and more economical.

The gas company will take all risks, so that the establishment of electric lighting will not cost one penny of the ratepayers’ money. Gas will continue to be made by the Company and no one need, unless he or she desires it, use the electric light, as gas will be supplied privately, as heretofore, if required.

The Council hope that a good muster of ratepayers will poll their votes for electricity. The method of voting is peculiar. The law demands that an answer “Yes”’ or “No” shall be made to the following question “Do you desire to forbid the granting of an Order-in-Council to the Frankston Gas Company.” Those therefore who wish to have the electric light must cross out the word yes. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 12 February, 1916

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

A rock music fan’s guide to modern etiquette

By Stuart McCullough IT’S a tough job. Being the opening act for a bigger, more popular band is much like being invited to a really wonderful party only to have all the other guests ignore your attempts to engage in conversation. You take to the stage brimming with enthusiasm only to be confronted by rows of empty seats because half the audience has chosen to have dessert rather than turn up on time. If you’re lucky, the evening will end with you raiding the band rider but not much more. Such is the lot of a support band.

Brisbane group The Grates were an ideal choice to support The Flaming Lips. In singer Patience Hodgson, they have a not-so-secret weapon whose enthusiasm was not merely palpable but luminescent and prone to leaping off the stage, seizing unwitting patrons by the shoulders before giving them a good shake. She took to the stage wearing what I can only describe as a mumu made of tinsel. It was obvious that The Grates had not turned up solely to pick the eyes out of the catering before taking the rest of the night off. They were making a real effort to entertain.

It’s at least ten years since I’d last seen The Grates It was at the Corner Hotel, Richmond, and they were supporting a British band that has long since receded into obscurity. I’m not even sure if they’d released their first album. But they were energetic and engaging, just as they were all this time later. However, some things have changed in the intervening period. Ten years ago, people went to concerts to watch. Now it’s an

PAGE 42

arm wrestle for attention as the act on stage does everything they can to distract patrons from staring at their mobile phones.

He was sitting two rows ahead of us, a couple of seats over. His mobile phone had a face bigger than Bert Newton and its aura of unwelcome illumination proved an aggressive distraction. I don’t blame him for

Western Port News 9 February 2016

bringing a mobile phone to a rock concert – my own was in my pocket at the time – but I cannot for the life of me figure out why he would sit there and play with it whilst a group was on stage doing all they could to entertain him. Here, now, were The Grates; dressed like the love child of Grug and a box of Christmas decorations, and this dude was ignoring

them completely in favour of his mobile phone.

I appreciate that times have changed, really I do. That the pace of modern life is such that people must remain connected at all times, lest a highly amusing cat video be released without their knowledge. But this guy wasn’t doing anything useful.

Because the screen was about the same size as the electronic scoreboard at the MCG, I could see what he was doing. He started scrolling through something that, because I do not wish to give it even a skerrick in the way of free publicity, I shall refer to as “FaceHole.” From there, he seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time looking at Seinfeld memes, focusing in particular on those featuring George Costanza.

Granted, it’s certainly possible that these were not the colossal waste of time and general pimple on the backside of humanity they appear to be. For all I know, this guy has made the study of Seinfeld memes and their relation to, I don’t know, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, his life’s work and what seems to a neutral observer such as myself to be stultifyingly stupid is, in actual fact, part of a deeper commitment to unlocking the eternal mystery of the human mind. On the other hand, he could simply be a jerk.

On stage, the band pulled out all the stops. Super-douche, as I had begun to think of him, checked his messages and sent some emails.

Armed with half a bag of Maltesers, I gave serious consideration to sending a few chocolate missiles his way, followed by a barrage of verbal

abuse. There is, I feel, no sign of opprobrium less ambiguous that a small piece of chocolate in the back of the head followed by a few choice words. However, keen both not to overreact and to preserve the few remaining snacks I had, I decided to keep my thoughts and the Maltesers to myself. I did this partly because I am, in essence, a peace-loving guy and partly because, I assumed, his rudeness would be confined to the opening act and, surely, would cease, once the headliners appeared.

As it turns out, I assumed way too much. The Flaming Lips are one of music’s greatest spectacles, with confetti cannons, giant space-balloons and an inflatable Catfish forming part of the show. These, however, are no competition for Seinfeld memes. He remained glued to his phone throughout, pausing only for a moment to lift it above his head and film part of the performance, presumably to remind himself at a later date than he had, in fact, attended.

The only other time he seemed to pay any attention to the events around him was when a giant space balloon bounced on top of his head and he glanced up, looking annoyed. He probably went home frustrated that his night of meme exploration was interrupted by music.

I should probably have told him all this. But I’m sure that, had I done so, he would merely have shrugged his shoulders and answered me in the words of Mr. Costanza, ‘Well the jerk store called and they’re all out of you.’ Touché, George. www.stuartmccullough.com

WESTERN PORT

scoreboard Kangas cause upset as

Blackwell snatches ten wickets PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LANGWARRIN caused one of the upsets of the 2015-16 MPCA Provincial season on Saturday when it knocked over top-of-the-table Peninsula Old Boys.

However, it was the other end of the Peninsula that had tongues wagging.

MPCA and Sorrento superstar Anthony Blackwell had figures of 4/16 overnight against Pines.

He finished with all 10 wickets, bowling 16.2 overs and finishing with 10/41 to help his side to a 24-run victory and maintain fourth place on the ladder.

The loss to Peninsula Old Boys was also a talking point.

There is little love lost between Langwarrin and POB and it was fitting that the match went down to the wire.

The Old Boys seemed untouchable

coming into the clash and heading for the finals, however, the young Kangaroos held their nerve throughout and won by 13 runs.

Chasing 267 for victory, the Old Boys were cruising at 0/80 with Dylan O’Malley (64) dominating and Wade Pelzer (20) playing a strong supportive role.

However, Pelzer was run out and O’Malley followed a short time later.

All of a sudden the Kangas were back in the game. In a blink of an eye, the visitors went from 0/80 to 6/150.

Mal Coutts and Nathan Volpe answered the call before the skipper Travis Campbell himself got amongst the wickets.

Glenn Prendergast (28) and Jon Forrest (51) gave the Old Boys every chance when they added 60 runs and took the score to 248, however, Prendergast was run out and Forrest became one of Matt Prosser’s three victims (3/63 from 22.2 overs) to grab

Braves hit a slump DISTRICT

By IT Gully BADEN Powell are in a slump after losing their second match in as many rounds on Saturday in MPCA District cricket.

After dominating for the first seven rounds of the season, the Braves have been knocked over by third placed Pearcedale and on Saturday, against the top of the table, premiership fancies, Red Hill.

Red Hill were restricted to 200 in their first innings on the wide-open expanses of Overport Road Reserve, but were always in the box seat to defend that total.

The score proved to be far too great for the Braves, given the enormous bowling lineup of the Hillmen.

Baden Powell were bowled out for just 103.

Jamie McCall was at his best with 4/7 from six overs, the skipper Simon Dart claimed 3/38 from 16 overs and Glen Collett picked-up 2/45 from 14 overs.

Elia Carter top scored for the Braves with 27.

Pearcedale were able to successfully defend 151 to beat Heatherhill.

With fourth place on the ladder on the line for the Hills, they were in a strong position coming into day two at 2/74.

Jake Theobald (17) and Tyler Neal (43) were the not-out batsmen at the crease and they both fell within a run of each other after adding a further 25 runs to the overnight score.

It went pear-shaped for the Hills after that, losing 8/44 and being bowled out for 142.

Shayne Gillings and Kaine Smith claimed 4/48 and 4/20 respectively while Sam Frawley picked-up 2/19.

Seaford are 12 points clear in fourth position on the District table after beating Boneo.

Ali Mortaza was the star for Seaford with 77, while Paul Hartle opened with 43.

Jack Beale scored 60 runs,

PAGE 46

including five fours and two sixes in 87 balls for Boneo in the second innings.

All Seaford players other than keeper Faisal Payenda bowled at least three overs in the second innings.

Delacombe Park failed to get the 266 runs required to beat Carrum, winding up their 2015/16 season.

The Parkers were still half a chance to play finals had they have beaten the Lions, however, they fell 37 runs short.

Craig Blight hit his highest score of the season for the Parkers with 84.

Lachy Dobson claimed 3/54 from 20 overs and Tom Burgdorf also helped himself to 3/62 from 23/1 overs.

Seaford Tigers made light work of scoring the 208 required for victory against Main Ridge.

Skipper David James scored 100 and Ash Mills hit an unbeaten 135, including 18 fours and 4 sixes, to finish the afternoon at 4/274.

Flinders couldn’t get the 321 needed to beat Mt Martha.

The Sharks are in fifth place on the ladder at the end of Round nine, a game behind Seaford.

On Saturday, it was always going to be tough to get 321. They needed at least one batsman to score a century.

Tom Clements got 58 and Mitch Stansborough scored 55, while Simon Parrott hit 37.

The Sharks needed another big contributor, but couldn’t find one.

Brett Wilkinson was the pick of the Reds’ bowlers, with 3/34 from 12.2 overs, while Michael Clavin, Jake Smart and Kyle Bendle picked up two wickets each.

Thou shall not pass: Pearcedale successfully defended their 151-run total to keep Heatherhill out of fourth place.

victory in the final over.

Whilst it’s a tough ask, the Kangaroos still give themselves every chance of playing finals. They must get an outright win against Rye in Round 10 to have any chance.

Sorrento successfully defended its poor first innings score of 116 to beat Pines and remain in the top four.

The Piners were resuming at 4/39 on day two of the clash on opposition turf and only one run was added it became 5/40.

Ricky Ramsdale provided some wag in the tail end (35), but Pines were all out for just 92 in 36.2 overs.

Anthony Blackwell was the star and kept the Sorras in fourth place.

Somerville went close to an outright victory over Moorooduc but the Ducs were able to hold out.

The Ducs made 133 in their first dig and the Eagles resumed at 0/25.

Craig Black blasted 82 and Brad Rossborough hit 60 as the Eagles

declared at 2/222 after just 35 overs.

Moorooduc was 7/53 at one stage with Jack Kennedy (3/40) and Matty Roach (2/24) claiming wickets.

However, Michael Whincup (22) and Cameron Bailey (24) knuckled down and got the job done for the Ducs, batting out the remaining 49 overs and finishing at 9/117.

Crib Point made tough work of beating Mornington.

Chasing 108 for victory, the Magpies resumed at 0/11. But they scrambled in the end, settling on 143.

It was enough to claim the allimportant 12 points and maintain second position on the ladder.

Brad McDonald was the pick of the Mornington bowlers with 3/12 from seven overs.

Baxter picked-up a solid win against Long Island.

Defending 9/217, Baxter was able to bowl Long Island out for 167.

Dale Irving claimed 2/18 and Ben

Brittain 3/37, however, it was man of the match Chris Brittain who added 4/41 to his 122 runs.

Simon Dignan top scored for the Islanders with 46.

Baxter (68) is now 12 points clear of Long Island in fifth place, just four points behind Sorrento.

The Islanders are now locked with Mornington, Pines, Langwarrin and Moorooduc on 56 points.

Mount Eliza claimed the win against Rye, however, the Demons were spared yet another outright loss.

After making 9/249 on day one, Mt Eliza tried to bowl Rye out twice on the second day.

They rolled the Demons for 69 in the first innings and had them three down in the second innings.

Paul Coldrey claimed 5/19 and Justin Grant 5/14 in the first innings and one wicket each in the second dig.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard

MPCA struggle in Thrilling two rounds championships SUB-DISTRICT

COUNTRY WEEK

By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Associations Provincial and Division Two teams struggled in the Country Week championships.

The Provincial team lost its opening two matches against Geelong and Bendigo, the eventual grand finalists, before opening their account against Sale-Maffra on day three of the carnival.

It lost its final match of the tournament to Warrnambool.

Tom Wood scored 54 and skipper Matt Foon 51 against Geelong in their score of 8/201 while Chris Dew and Matt Foon collected three wickets each in Geelong’s knock of 267.

The MPCA was rolled for 115 against Bendigo (9/212 & 4/67).

Justin Grant claimed 5/37 and Jon Forrest 3/28. Chris Dew top scored with 44 and Scott Phillips hit 29.

In their win against Sale-Maffra, Daniel Warwick top scored with 53 and Foon hit 48 in their score of 6/175. They then bowled out the opposition for 82 with Andrew Tweddle claiming 5/16.

The MPCA then lost to Warrnambool.

Jon Forrest picked up 4/60 in Warrnambool’s total of 8/288. Warwick top scored

for the MPCA in the chase with 61, while Forrest scored 48. The MPCA was bowled out for 200.

Geelong beat Bendigo in the final.

The Division Two team also won only one game.

It lost to Leongatha on the opening day by six runs. Batting first, the MPCA made 9/152 with Billy Quigley top scoring with 42. Leongatha replied with 8/158.

Skipper Dylan O’Malley claimed 3/25 and Michael Clavin 2/21.

Against Sunraysia, the MPCA bowled first with the opposition scoring 8/215. Mike Reynolds and Chris King snared two wickets each. In reply, the MPCA was bowled out for 169 with Kristian Miller top scoring with 66 and Pat Jackson getting 38.

Round Three was a draw after the ground was unplayable and Round Four saw the MPCA record its first win against South West.

South West batted first and made 161 with Reynolds pickingup 3/17 and Quigley and Jarryd Parker claiming two wickets each.

In reply, the MPCA made 7/181 with Brad Trotter top scoring with 60 and Harley Peace-Sterling hitting 43.

Ballarat beat Leongatha in the final.

By IT Gully THE 2015/16 MPCA Sub District season is going to go right down to the wire after the conclusion of Round nine on Saturday.

Whilst the top two positions on the ladder have been tied up for some time with Dromana on 104 points and Hastings on 94, the real battle sits from third to seventh.

Carrum Downs is currently in third place on 66 points and Rosebud is hanging onto fourth place on 60 points. These two sides clashed in Round nine and it was the Cougars who came out victors by 39 runs. Rosebud would have given themselves a 12 point buffer in third place with a win.

Now the Buds are hanging on for dear life with Frankston YCW also on 60 points and Tootgarook and Ballam Park just a game further back.

In the final two rounds of the season, Rosebud faces Hastings at home and then plays Skye in the Round 11 one-day fixture to end the home and away season.

The Buds have to beat Hastings this round and should be too strong for Skye.

Frankston YCW hosts Skye in Round 10 and finishes with Balnarring in the final round. You would say the Stonecats are favorite to win both of these matches. On Saturday, the Stonecats were able to score 9/152 against Tootgarook after resuming at 3/5 overnight, chasing 143. It was a confidence-booster for the Stonecats with Matty Lane dragging them over the line with his best hit of the season (95).

Tootgarook is in sixth place and now a game outside of the top four. A win

against YCW would have them right in the mix.

The Frogs host Balnarring in Round 10 and play Tyabb at the pond in the final match of the season. A betting man would also have Tootgarook winning two from two.

The other side in the mix is Ballam Park. The Knights smashed Balnarring on Saturday after scoring 251 in their first innings and bowling out the Saints for 157 (they resumed at 4/38). The Knights play Tyabb and Carrum Downs in the final two matches. It will be a tough ask to beat the Cougars, who have to play Dromana this round. A loss here would see Carrum Downs having to win the final game against Ballam Park to play finals.

The Round 11 one day game between Dromana and Hastings should be very interesting, given they just may meet again on the final match of the season.

The Blues went within one wicket of picking-up an outright win against Skye.

Defending 217, the Blues bowled out Skye for 58 and had them 9/123 in the second innings.

Luke Hewitt, Liam Bradshaw and Isuru Dias all claimed three first innings wickets, while Bradshaw and Dias claimed two second innings wickets, as did Mitchell Floyd.

Dromana easily beat Tyabb. Defending 211, the Hoppers rolled the Yabbies for just 86.
