No more roar BERT Harrison on Monday climbed into his lion suit for what may the last time. For years he has donned the outfit as part of the Western Port Festival, bringing cheer to youngsters watching from the sidelines and representing an organisation that takes pride of place in his life – the Lions Club of Western Port. However, the club is disbanding and Mr Harrison is lining up to join another group. See “Limited Lions call it a day” on Page 7. Picture: Yanni
Land for ambo station By Mike Hast AN ambulance station for Somerville is closer to reality after Mornington Peninsula Shire last night sold Ambulance Victoria land in Grant Rd for about $270,000. Ambulance Victoria will build a station for a “peak period” ambulance service on about 1200 square metres of vacant land at 70 Grant Rd, close to
the intersection of Speedwell Rd. The site will be subdivided from a larger area of shire-owned land, which it bought for use as a drainage reserve. The reserve of about three hectares is used as a leash-free dog exercise area and contains a South East Water pumping station. In a report to councillors, the shire’s property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods said a registered valuation
of the land had been obtained. Ambulance Victoria would bear all costs associated with the transaction, including valuation fees, public notice, legal, surveying, subdivision, rezoning and development costs. Melbourne Water was currently designing a retardation basin for the site but the sale to Ambulance Victoria “would not affect the drainage design”. The ambulance land is zoned for
public use and would need rezoning and a planning required, she said. “A new ambulance station in Somerville would allow Ambulance Victoria to respond quickly to emergency calls in the area and would represent a significant improvement in ... ambulance services for the Mornington Peninsula,” Ms Woods said. The shire would not need to give public notice about the sale as Ambulance
Victoria was a public body, but “council prides itself on its community consultation and the sharing of valuable local knowledge”, Ms Woods said. “It is therefore recommended that the process set out in Section 189 of the Local Government Act 1989 be followed for the sale.” This would give ratepayers and residents an opportunity to have their views heard, she said.

Dog tracks fireworks POLICE will use an explosives detection dog to find illegal fireworks on the Mornington Peninsula on New Year’s Eve. Police and Country Fire Authority officers will target the illegal use of fireworks and flares. Chief Inspector Ron Cooke of Victoria Police said the dog would be used to find “fireworks that may be secreted or identify people who have them in their possession�. “Illegal fireworks will be seized and offenders prosecuted,� he said. CFA operations officer Sean Kerr said it was illegal to discharge a flare unless in case of emergency. Fireworks were illegal without a permit from Worksafe. “Flares and fireworks can start fires when they land in dry vegetation. During the middle of summer this can have disastrous consequences,� he said. Chief Inspector Cooke said flares had a serviceable life of three years. “You must ensure flares are current and obtain new ones if their use by dates are reached. Expiry dates are stamped on the side of each flare, and old flares can be disposed of at Hastings, Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Dromana police stations,� he said. Chief Inspector Cooke said police would have a highly visible presence across the peninsula in the days leading up to and including New Year’s Eve. “Incidents of anti-social behaviour, particularly those associated with alcohol, will not be tolerated.� The focus on fireworks and flares is part of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s “No Entertainment – No Nonsense� policy designed to make the region safer. There will be no organised public events on the peninsula, no carnival at Rye on New Year’s Eve (day and night), no organised fireworks, no camping in public parks or reserves (camping in foreshore areas is fully booked), and no alcohol in public places. The policy started in 2007 as a reaction to a riot at the Rye pier precinct in 2006 when about 500 people hurled bottles and fought police, with several officers injured and one admitted to hospital. Public events were stopped at Sorrento in 2002 after
three people were seriously injured on New Year’s Eve in 2001. “The shire aims to make sure the peninsula is a safe place for people to enjoy the New Year period, and to do this there will be no public entertainment, no public fireworks and bans on alcohol in public places,� mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said. “Victoria Police supports the shire’s strategy and will have a highly visible police presence across the peninsula in the days leading up to and including New Year’s Eve. “Incidents of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated, particularly those associated with the consumption of alcohol. Motorists can expect to be breath-tested at any time on any road across the peninsula.� Fireworks are illegal without a permit from Worksafe. Discharge of flares is prohibited except in case of an emergency. Laws banning alcohol in public places start at 9pm on Friday 30 December and run till midnight on Sunday 1 January. Possession of sealed and unsealed containers of alcohol in public places is prohibited unless sealed containers are being taken from point of sale to a vehicle or private residenc. Possession of any glass container while in a public place is also prohibited. The shire said southern peninsula venues open on New Year’s Eve would only be accessible by pre-purchased tickets. Rye pier car parks will be closed from 4pm on New Year’s Eve. A free, one-way bus service will operate from Portsea to Safety Beach. Pick up is available from Portsea Hotel (10pm-2am) and Sorrento foreshore (10pm5am), to Marine Drive, Safety Beach. There will be security guards on all buses. If a day is declared “Code Red� fire danger, all permits for events and community hall bookings will be revoked, Cr Bowden said. For more information, call the shire on 1300 850 600, 5950 1000 or visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au
Ted’s walk
The family and friends of the late Ted Harris went for a bush walk in his honour. The walk on Sunday 2 December was along the Warringine Park trail that runs through the linear reserve from Frankston-Flinders Rd to Hendersons Rd, Hastings. The trail has been named after Mr Harris, credited as being “the first and most dedicated supporter� of the Friends of Warringine group. Gathered at the start of the Ted Harris Walk are his wife Beryl, daughters Sarah and Lisa and their families.
Police release man after questioning HASTINGS police have yet to lay any charges over the alleged abduction last week of an 11-year-old girl on her way school. The girl told police on Monday 10 December that she was in William St at about 8.10am on Monday when approached by a man who asked her to go with him. She said he grabbed her arm but she man-
aged to break free and run to the Kmart shopping centre. Police on Tuesday arrested and questioned a 31-year-old Hastings man in relation to the alleged assault. He was later released without charge. A spokesman for Hasting police said investigations were continuing.

Top ratings: Cerberus sailors and members of the Navy Steam Club with the Foden steam wagon used to deliver Christmas presents to Vinnies. Picture: Paul McCallum
Sailors steamed up for good Clause HMAS Cerberus personnel got a bit hot under the collar last Wednesday, but it was all in a good cause, the Santa Claus cause. Led by Officer-in-Charge of the Cerberus engineering faculty, Lieutenant Commander Jacqui Dew, sailors joined members of the Navy Steam Club to deliver more than 650 toys worth more than $11,000 to the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Vinnies Christmas Appeal. The source of the heat was the steam club’s 1923 Foden Steam Wagon, a smoke-emitting beast from an earlier era that turned heads as it puffed
through the streets of Melbourne from Victoria Barracks in St Kilda Rd to a Vinnies warehouse in Altona North. Laded with the toys, the Foden chugged through the streets and over the West Gate Bridge at the leisurely pace of 24km/h, taking more than three hours for the journey. Cerberus sailors Able Seaman Jessica Norris and Chief Petty Officer Laurie Williams collected the toys from the Ships Company of HMAS Cerberus, which supports Vinnies and other charities and community groups each year.

state president Tony Tome said the society would help more than 500,000 people or families in need across Australia this Christmas. “In Victoria alone, our welfare assistance line has had almost 500 extra calls for support in the past two months,” he said. Cerberus public relations officer Sub Lieutenant Katherine Mulheron said the toys would go to Victorian children who may otherwise not have a present to open on Christmas morning.

Capt Zigzag leaves a ferry tale or two TO thousands of visitors he was the ferry skipper, but to people who lived on French Island, Derwent Plunkett was the man who got them home safe and sound. As skipper to a succession of ferries over 20 years, Captain Plunkett helped write part of the island’s story, including the part played by him. Derwent Plunkett died in Frankston Hospital on Friday 14 December, just days after being diagnosed with cancer and three days short of his 64th birthday. He is survived by son Benjamin, 25, daughter Zoe, 22, his partner Pamela and their daughter Cheyene, 14. Benjamin, the son of former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Snez Plunkett, on Monday described his father as having “lots of stories� and leading an eventful life that was pretty much a party. “He had lots of partners and was pretty much a ladies’ man.� Benjamin said his father had lived in Victoria for the past 30 years after growing up in Tasmania. Seemingly named after the River Derwent that flows into the sea near Hobart, Derwent Plunkett was a Vietnam veteran. On moving to Victoria he operated a service station near Frankston before moving to French Island in the mid-1970s. At this stage he and Pamela ran a tourism business at Mandalay Park, off Tankerton Rd. He was quoted in the island’s newsletter The Pinnacle (May 2010) as describing the rundown property in glowing terms and deciding against

providing power because “I didn’t want a generator going bump, bump, bump�. “Firstly, we started up a tourism venture. We did bush stews with damper, and turned the barn into a leather shop because we had a friend who was a leather worker. We made belts, bags, whips and things for sale. People could watch him make them. We did whipcracking demonstrations. We had draught horses and milk carts.� The business folded when the couple discovered the lease was for grazing only. Meanwhile, Mr Plunkett had become a shareholder in the ferry service that ran the Eagle Star. That business sank, literally, with the boat going down off Cowes on Phillip Island. The passengers managed to
scramble off before she went down and Mr Plunkett arrived in time to find “the guy running the kiosk holding court in the pub with 25 little old ladies, all of them wrapped in towels�. He left the island in 1991 “angry about some stuff�, but not before stints at managing a guest house and running a youth camp at the former prison farm. Finally, in 1992 he took on the ferry captain’s job. Son Benjamin said his father ran the French Islander ferry under a company named Peninsula Pirate. Mr Plunkett was living in Crib Point at the time of his death, but had also lived in Hastings and at one time lived on the tugboat E R Price moored off Tankerton.

“When Derwent arrived on the island, we didn’t quite know what to make of him,� a current resident told The News. “He was an enigmatic, hippy-type character, ex-Vietnam veteran and raconteur. He told some great tales, which we enjoyed, but took with a grain of salt. “He and Pam and the boys moved into Bennett’s grand old house behind the French Island Cricket Ground, built in 1904, which he renamed Mandalay Park, the name it has today. “Derwent introduced the island to a number of his interesting friends – artists, musicians and a chef. “The old place was tidied up, peacocks wandered between the ancient trees and a few bus tours came to visit. However, the tourist endeavour was probably before its time and lapsed. “The peacocks remained and their offspring can be found all over the island – a legacy of one of Derwent’s many ventures.� Benjamin said his father was “the captain that everyone loved�. “He became known as Captain Zigzag because he was able to find the shortest path through the bay’s wind, waves and currents from Stony Point to the island. “At one stage, he only cancelled the trip three times in eight years due to bad weather.� Keith Platt A funeral service for Derwent Plunkett will held at Stony Point jetty at 1pm on Friday.
Boat hits car POLICE have been given photos and details of a car wrecked when allegedly hit by a boat being towed by a tractor. The car (pictured) was parked in Bayview Rd, Balnarring Beach, when hit by the twin-hulled boat at about 10.45pm on Wednesday. The car’s owner said he had been inside a nearby house when “I heard a bang like when the rubbish truck comes along to empty bins�. He said a man sitting on a nearby verandah had witnessed the incident.
School’s a star SOMERS School Camp is the latest state school to achieve five-star accreditation in sustainability as a Resource Smart School, a state government initiative. Rob Gell of Western Port Biosphere Reserve presented the award on 9 December to principal Denise Anthony. He said the school camp had completed all five modules of the Resource Smart Australian Schools initiative.

Limited Lions call it a day By Keith Platt THE Lions Club of Western Port has disbanded after 44 years. The club was down to seven members, well short of the 40 on the books almost 16 years ago when current president Bert Harrison joined. Ages of the seven members range from 51 to 82. Mr Harrison and three other Western Port members will be joining neighbouring branches to continue their work in the community. “At the height of the club, membership reached into to 50s, but due to retirement, transfers and the unfortunate deaths of some members, it hasn’t
been so easy over the past few years,” Mr Harrison said. The club held its final meeting on 11 December, but on Monday Mr Harrison was still carrying on official duties by handing out certificates to pupils at Crib Point Primary School. The final weekly market managed by the Lions in High St, Hastings, will be on 1 January. After this, the Thursday market will be run by Mornington Peninsula Shire and Hastings chamber of commerce with its management possibly being eventually handed over to another community group. Mr Harrison said he believed new expressions of interest would be called
from would-be stallholders with the intent of seeing it change to “more of a farmers market”. Mr Harrison listed some of the club’s major projects as collecting papers for a “paper drive”, running the “lazy eye” program for schoolchildren, donating scholarships, running a primary school quiz, holding sausage sizzles, and sending children to Lions camps in Licola. “As well, we made donations to local people, national and international Lions programs and hosted students from overseas,” he said. Although heavily disguised, Mr Harrison was the person inside the Lions suit that accompanied all Western Port Festival parades.
THE bestselling memoir of boyhood and adolescence in an Australian coastal town between the wars, All the Green Year, has been republished. Written by former Frankston resident Don Charlwood, who died earlier this year aged 96, it has been republished by Text Publishing as part of the Text Classics series, which is resurrecting popular Australian books that are out of print. A navigator with Bomber Command in the Second World War, Mr Charlwood wrote an article for The News Anzac Day edition in April, “Sole survivor remembers”, in which he recalled the tragedy and utter futility of war; a time without a future. As well as writing about his early years growing up in Frankston, Mr Charlwood wrote two autobiographical books, No Moon Tonight and Journeys into Night, in which he recalled the excitement, tedium and terror of navigating night time air raids in Europe and his years in Bomber Command. All the Green Year was published in 1965, became a bestseller and was a set text for secondary schools for many years. In the early 1970s it was made into a popular ABC television series. For his services to literature, Mr Charlwood was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1992. Mr Charlwood died in June, but wrote a revised afterword earlier in the year. It is in the new edition, which was launched at Montsalvat in Eltham on 5 December. Anyone who has read All the Green Year will recall the escapade with the circus camel and it is featured on the

A CHRISTMAS FABLE
Santa’s unlikely to land due to draconian rules By Garret Rob Elm WARNING: This may damage your Christmas spirit. It would appear the annual visit of Father Christmas to the Mornington Peninsula this year may not occur, as it is STCA (Subject To Council Approval), which is not likely to be forthcoming. The “Merry Old Gentleman” has had so many conditions and restrictions placed around his proposed annual visit that they will prevent him performing his traditional task. His appearance in a red costume no longer meets the colour requirements of the shire’s planners. According to the new overlay C999 Christmas decorations Claus (e), it has to be green. As for permission to land a sleigh anywhere on the peninsula, it is now virtually impossible for the following reasons: Insufficient continual three-storey flat-roofed buildings, particularly in Hastings, Rosebud and small township areas. Landing of sleighs is not currently an approved use within green wedge zones although this may be possible next year under planning changes being proposed by state Planning Minister Matthew Guy. The distribution of free gifts contradicts council policy (except to councillors). All council reserves prohibit the
presence of non-indigenous species such as holly, ivy, mistletoe and reindeer (on a leash greater than one metre in length). Reindeer droppings would need to be picked up and this could lead to an overload of refuse bins. The many unsealed council car parks are unsuitable for the landing of sleds. Sealed car parks are overcrowded with tourist vehicles pulling jet skis and boats, so there is no room for a sleigh and reindeer. Overstaying would risk parking fines. There are no “seniors” parking bays for any old gentlemen (or women) and the few “disabled” parking bays are time restricted. Although landing reindeer on a beach between the hours of 7pm and 9am could be permitted, the shire could not be held responsible for any injuries to people and reindeer or damage to freight resulting from a crash due to litter, flotsam and jetsam or “stick injuries” not cleared by council from the area. No alcoholic refreshments provided for the Merry Old Gentleman can be consumed on a beach during the Christmas and New Year period. Crashing a sleigh into any beach box would be a civil matter, but would assist council to achieve their removal. All foreshore areas are subject to a state coastal management plan, which only council is allowed to disregard, and where all activities have to be sea

related. Tootgarook Swamp is not suitable for landing sleigh until filled in and compacted prior to development. Landing on any council road is dangerous due to the number of potholes, and council will not accept responsibility for any damage to people, reindeer, or freight. Application to land on a VicRoads’ road is similarly hazardous and requires a permit sought at least a year in advance. Landing on property owned by developers is subject to their, their agents and supportive councillors’ permission. Accumulation of litter from Christmas present packaging would result in excessive usage of council waste management facilities (tips). As the litter would be sourced to the Merry Old Gentleman, who is not a shire resident or ratepayer, extortionate charges would be applied and if unpaid they would be pursued through the courts. Old holly and mistletoe is unsuitable for mulching and then selling back to ratepayers and residents. EPA noise restrictions apply to sleighs as Local Laws only exclude aircraft and helicopters. The shire’s natural resources department would need to quarantine reindeers for a fortnight and remove all harmful seeds from hooves and droppings. The shire’s rangers, stretched to

cope with the annual influx of tourists, could not guarantee the safety of any old gentleman, resident or not. Unless proof of identity can be provided, rangers may microchip and im-
pound any unapproved people or their animals. The governance of Noel has so many “Clauses” that it is impossible to accommodate any more.

It’s top of the range for our councillors By Keith Platt CONTINUING the tradition, Mornington Peninsula councillors have voted to allocate the highest possible annual allowances to themselves and the mayor. The Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell sets allowance ranges under the Local Government Act 1989 and leaves it up to individual councils to decide how much should be paid. In the shire’s case, councillors have set the allowance for the mayor Cr Lynn Bowden at $85,741 and $26,843 for themselves. In a letter to CEO Michael Kennedy on 26 October, the acting director of Local Government Victoria, Kendrea Pope, said the allowance range for councillors was $11,204-$26,843 and mayors could be paid up to $85,741. Nine per cent superannuation is paid on these allowances and councillors can also claim travelling (96.87 cents a kilometre for six-cylinder ve-
hicles and 79.7 cents a kilometre for four-cylinder vehicles), child care and out-of-pocket expenses. Cr Bowden has the use of a mayoral car and councillors are supplied with mobile phones and computers. The adopted allowances will be paid for the next four years and adjusted annually in accordance with directions from the minister. “The maximum allowance is considered appropriate when relating to the diversity of the shire, the size and scope of activities and the number of voters each councillor represents, which remains one of the highest in the state,” governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck stated in a report to council’s Monday 10 December meeting. Under the Local Government Act the shire must invite public comment on the allowances through newspaper advertisements and on its website.
Forest firewood ‘season’ ends OFFICERS from the Department of Sustainability and Environment will be patrolling Mornington Peninsula forests and parks over summer to prevent illegal collection of firewood. The spring collection season ended on Friday 30 November and anyone caught collecting firewood in state forests or parks will now face fines of up to $7042, one year’s jail, or both. “DSE will be increasing its patrol of forests and taking a zero tolerance approach to those who are breaking firewood collection laws,” DSE’s Port Phillip regional director Rodney Warren said. “Authorised officers will be issuing on-the-spot
fines for firewood offences, with an option to take people to court for major offences.” Mr Warren said the spring and autumn firewood collection seasons minimised risks to people, the environment and infrastructure by avoiding firewood collection during winter and during periods of highest fire hazard. The next firewood season from public land, for personal use only, begins 1 March. Until then, firewood must be bought from commercial suppliers. For more information or if you suspect illegal firewood collection or sale, call DSE on 136 186.

Sound boating tips from rescue service THE peninsula’s Volunteer Marine Rescue service enters its 32nd summer of operation with its top five recreational boating safety tips: 1. Before you go out, check the weather forecast. A calm day can quickly turn ugly on the water. Keep an eye out for changing weather conditions by monitoring the forecast. Check out www.bom.gov.au 2. Always wear a lifejacket and insist your crew and guests do the same. While it is only a requirement to wear one in certain situations, the low cost of automatic, inflatable PFDs makes for cheap insurance for you, your family and friends. Remember, it’s only a lifejacket if you’re wearing it and make sure it’s in service. 3. Check all of safety equipment before heading out, make sure everyone on the vessel knows where it is stored and how to operate it. 4. Always makes sure you have enough fuel – one-third for the trip there, one-third for the trip home and a third in reserve. 5. Stay with your vessel. In the event you end up in the water, ensure you and all occupants stay with the boat. It is far easier for rescue authorities to find you. Mornington Community Bay Rescue Service, now VMR Mornington and Hastings, was formed in May 1980 when a boating accident occurred within sight of land and police stood helpless on the cliff top watching one of the occupants trying to reach shore. By the time a boat could be found, launched and reached the overturned
Mallet attack POLICE are searching for man after a 27-year-old Hastings woman was hit with a mallet while sleeping in her bed. Police found a rubber-headed mallet at the scene and used a sniffer dog to try to track the offender. The woman said she woke about 1am on Saturday when a man hit her on the head and demanded money. She was asleep in a bungalow at the side of a house in Villawood Drive when the attack occurred. The door was unlocked. The woman described her attacker as aged 20 to 30 and wearing some sort of a mask or beanie. The woman was taken to Frankston Hospital and treated for bruising to the side of her head.
Camp safety move
Safety’s sake: VMR’s Hastings boat, launched in March 2011, has been fitted with a forward looking infrared (FLIR) camera that enables its operator to see 1.2 kilometres at night. The camera detects heat and is used to find people in the water.
vessel, the swimmer had drowned. The incident sat heavily on the shoulders of Mornington police who decided not to let it happen again. The name of the man who lost his life that day, Paul Darbyshire, was honoured when the service named its first rescue craft The Darbyshire. VMR operates three purpose-built search and rescue vessels, two from Mornington and one from Hastings. Members assist boaties and other marine users under the direction of Victorian Water Police. VMR’s mission is “Serving our local community in the protection of life at sea”.
VMR president Col Strawbridge said the service is staffed solely by volunteers who are predominately boaties and anglers who live on the peninsula. “Our volunteers all love being on the water and, more importantly, helping others. Our members respond 24-7 and we can be on the water and underway in about 10-15 minutes,” he said. VMR is a free service, but each year needs to raise more than $67,000 for maintenance, fuel, a berth at Western Port Marina and other costs. “VMR has been fortunate to receive grants from the state government for Yamaha engines for its three vessels,
which will ensure the equipment used to serve the community in the protection of life at sea is the best money can buy,” Mr Strawbridge said. “Our Hastings vessel was recently fitted with the most advanced FLIR camera, usually found only on police and military vessels. “FLIR, or forward looking infrared, is invaluable on night searches when people are in the water. It allows thermal heat detection and is a night vision camera that can ‘see’ 1.2 kilometres.” For more information about VMR, look up www.vmrmornington.com.au
A JOINT shire council and police operation to combat what the shire says is persistent theft and other crimes in foreshore camping areas will be launched at 1pm Friday 21 December. Operation CampAware will include police foot and bicycle patrols as well as the peninsula CREST team (Community Response Engagement and Social Tasking strategy). Rosebud crime prevention officer Leading Senior Constable Julie Simpson said thieves target bicycles, drink coolers, phones and other small personal items. “Campers should be vigilant about keeping belongings safe, and look after each other in the camp ground. “Secure outside camping equipment, gas bottles, barbecues, trailers, spare tyres and bikes with good chains and locks. Keep refrigerators and coolers inside the tent or lock them at night.”

Bid to make CEO ‘12th councillor’ By David Harrison A NEW attempt is being made to include shire chief executive officer Michael Kennedy at councillor-only meetings. The “12th councillor” push, believed to be coming from veteran councillor David Gibb, would reverse the officer-free meeting initiative revived by Cr Graham Pittock in his 2010-11 mayoral year. The meetings began as informal gatherings over a few drinks. The “officer-free zone” was supported by Crs Lynn Bowden, Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers and Leigh Eustace. The gathering morphed into an hour-long meeting before formal council meetings. Cr Gibb is close to Dr Kennedy and leads the conservative councillor faction, comprising Anne Shaw, Antonella Celi and Frank Martin. Two other faction members, Reade Smith and Bill Goodrem, are not part of the new council as Mr Smith retired and Mr Goodrem was not reelected at the recent election. The other faction comprises Graham Pittock, Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers and mayor Lynn Bowden. It lost Leigh Eustace at the October election. This leaves the factions at four-all and the council delicately poised, with vital decisions in the hands of the three new councillors, Hugh Fraser, David Garnock and Andrew Dixon. Cr Dixon, a 25-year-old university student, is said to be a protégé of Cr Shaw and is a fellow Liberal Party member. Cr Shaw had her eyes on the state seat of Mornington in the early 2000s and at one stage put up
Council who’s where WARDS and councillors in the 2012-16 Mornington Peninsula Shire Council are: Briars – Bev Colomb, Andrew Dixon, Anne Shaw. Cerberus – David Garnock. Nepean – Hugh Fraser, Tim Rodgers. Red Hill – Frank Martin. Seawinds – Antonella Celi, David Gibb, Graham Pittock. Watson – Lynn Bowden (mayor). her hand for pre-selection, but withdrew after pressure from within the party. Cr Celi was involved for a while with the People Power party at state level. Cr Gibb declares he has no party affiliation and regards party politics in local government as “unhealthy”. Councillors had previously held officer-free meetings in the mid-2000s. The meetings lapsed when Dr Kennedy insisted on attending. The presence of officers apparently inhibited the private and wide-ranging discussions councillors had held. The officers’ presence also impacted on the “separation of powers” principle, which divides the institutions of government into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. Under the separation of powers, the legislature makes the laws, the executive puts the laws into operation and the judiciary interprets them. Councillors, as the legislature, felt it inappropriate to have members of the executive at their
meetings, especially when some officers felt it was their right to attend. The shire executive has played a large part – too large a part, according to some councillors and many observers – in decision-making through the activities of some senior officers. The recent shire election upheaval, including the introduction of multi-member wards (despite strong shire opposition) and the election of three new councillors, has opened up councillor voting, with the new trio yet to reveal any factional inclinations or broad voting intentions. It is understood Dr Kennedy and Cr Gibb are keen to help persuade the new trio to their point of view on issues such as shire debt, rates policy, the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre at Rosebud and development policy generally. Cr Gibb apparently sees his influence waning in line with his faction’s loss of numbers. He was assured of a 6-5 majority on many issues during the previous council. He recently faced severe embarrassment when his pet project, the aquatic centre on the Rosebud foreshore, suffered a serious if not fatal setback. Dr Kennedy’s attendance at councillor-only meetings could possibly bolster Cr Gibb’s position on this and other issues. Based on their pre-election statements, neither Cr Fraser nor Cr Dixon is likely to support the foreshore aquatic centre, whose estimated $44 million cost would add considerably to the shire’s already alarming debt level. Cr Garnock’s election platform implies support for holding debt down and focusing on breadand-butter issues such as roads, rubbish and rates.

Tensions rise over sea change role By David Harrison STRAINS are already starting to emerge in the newly elected council chamber as the multi-ward system and the new councillors settle in. Cr Bev Colomb (Briars Ward) has filed a notice of motion for the next council meeting that challenges both shire staff and some fellow councillors. It follows the council vote on Monday 10 December approving Cr Anne Shaw (Briars) as the shire’s delegate to the National Sea Change Taskforce, a body representing seaside councils around Australia. Cr Colomb did not attend the 10 December meeting. Her motion would require that all councillors get a chance to declare an interest in such delegate opportunities – implying that they were not given this chance with the sea change taskforce position. The motion goes on to recommend that “At no time do officers make recommendations for delegations of councillors” – implying that such a recommendation was made. The second part of Cr Colomb’s motion is that “Before our delegate represents us on the sea change taskforce, council determines a position on future infrastructure on our coast”. This appears to be a reaction to a curiously contradictory decision at the 10 December meeting to endorse a large development of at least three storeys – with a basement car park – close to the beach at Rosebud in an area listed as vulnerable to sea level rise. Cr Colomb’s motion implies no such coastal infrastructure policy exists, although the shire professes it would act to ensure that no inappropriate development occurs in inundation-prone areas.
Cr Shaw voted for this officer-recommended development. Only Crs Pittock (Seawinds Ward), Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers (both Nepean Ward) voted against the Rosebud proposal, indicating Crs Dixon (Briars) and Garnock (Cerberus) could already be inclining to the pro-development faction Cr Gibb (Seawinds) leads. Cr Gibb was at pains to assure councillors that the large proposed development could not be used as a precedent for other such development proposals in the area. The sea change delegate matter was introduced as urgent business by Cr Gibb. Urgent business is a favourite tactic used by Cr Gibb to “ambush” his council opponents – who earned his wrath earlier this year when they turned the tables on him over his pet project, the Rosebud aquatic centre. Councillors against the foreshore location, led by former councillor Leigh Eustace, forced through a motion calling on a geotechnical report that revealed the centre was likely to cost an extra $7 million to build on the foreshore. The council then bought Rosebud Central Shopping Centre, which is likely to be redeveloped to become the aquatic centre.
Time for teens A TRIP to Phillip Island, a skate park tour and Healesville Sanctuary are on the agenda for Mornington Peninsula Shire’s teenage holiday program. The “teen-focused” activities in January also include a visit to the Casey RACE aquatic centre, a beach day and a day at The Shed indoor skate centre. A separate program is running at Shed 11 Youth Centre in Hastings. For details go to www.mpys.com.au or call 5950 1666.

Beach pals keep Vizhaka on track
Dolphins rule on first contact
IT may be coincidence, but dolphins seem to bring out the best in racehorse Vizhaka. A regular early morning starter at Balnarring Beach, Vizhaka has won three of his last four starts for trainer Monica Cid, of St Ives, Tuerong. “He ran a gallant second [on Friday at Moonee Valley], beaten by only a nose and leaving the rest of the field a further 2.5 lengths behind,” Ms Cid said. “I originally pre-trained his dam and
I knew she could gallop. I saw Vizhaka advertised for sale along with some others and didn’t hesitate to go and buy him. I purchased three as a package. “He needed time to mature and overall his race performance has been fantastic.” Ms Cid said Vizhaka has had eight starts for three wins, two seconds, a third and two fourths. “He loves the beach and the dolphins,” she said.
By Jeff Weir JUST because dolphins stay around does not necessarily mean that everything is all right. Research shows dolphins will sometimes remain in very stressful situations to their detriment, just like some people continue in stressful jobs or relationships. The challenge is that we don’t know how many times a day it is acceptable for dolphins’ normal behaviour to be interrupted or for them to have to use more energy to avoid a threat. Clearly, regular interruptions to dolphins resting, feeding or nursing young calves need to be minimised. There are many calves in Port Phillip and Western Port at the moment, so we need to be extra careful. This is why there are laws to stop people deliberately approaching dolphins closer than 100 metres in a boat or 300 metres on a power ski. It is fine if dolphins approach your vessel. Slow down or stop if it’s safe
to do so and enjoy the experience. The key is to show the dolphins respect and let them swim away when they choose. Dolphin-watching regulations pose severe fines of many thousands of dollars for vessel operators who deliberately breach the 100-metre rule. Most prosecutions are of people who approach dolphins and then persistently follow them around, so it is very clear they are in the wrong. Victoria is a world leader in managing dolphin tourism and the tour operators in southern Port Phillip operate under strict licensing that enables them to approach more closely than
the public. So don’t think that if you see one of the tour vessels with dolphins that you can also approach. If you observe people doing the wrong thing, consider taking down the details of the vessel and reporting the incident to the Department of Sustainability and Environment on 136 186. The Dolphin Research Institute is also happy to talk to concerned members of the public. We are very keen for people to report their dolphin sightings to help our understanding of where dolphins are moving. But please remember the 100-metre rule. The institute is a not-for-profit organisation that relies on community support of the Adopt-A-Dolphin program. To become an Adopt-A-Dolphin supporter or report a sighting, go to www.dolphinresearch.org.au or call 1300 130 949. Jeff Weir is executive director of the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute.

Time to be fire ready By Mike Hast TIME is running out to prepare Mornington Peninsula properties for the fire season. With hotter days arriving in the leadup to Christmas and the new year, the Country Fire Authority is asking residents to get their properties ready. This includes keeping grass short especially near buildings, reducing fuel in the garden or yard such as leaves and twigs, removing flammable mulch, moving plants near windows, and shifting flammable items from verandahs and decks.
The advice follows CFA chief Euan Ferguson warning Victorians of a “troubling level of complacency” among residents in places with a high fire risk. He said the state this summer could expect “lots of fires’’ as there had been two wet summers after years of drought. ‘’We think there’s a troubling level of complacency out there,’’ Mr Ferguson said. Only a third of Victorians heard the fire safety message and did the right thing including preparing a family fire plan. A third heard the message, but were under-prepared, and a third had
no idea about the fire season, he said. Average or above-average rain had seen vigorous growth of grasses and plants. A key message from the CFA, SES, Department of Sustainability and Environment, state government and Mornington Peninsula Shire was for people to prepare a fire plan. The message to “prepare, stay and defend” was dumped after the devastating Black Saturday fires of 2009. Now the message is that on a Code Red day, leaving early is the safest option. In October, Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley told people at a
public meeting on the southern peninsula that a bigger part of the area had been declared an extreme fire danger area this year. Large areas of Sorrento and Portsea had been added to the extreme danger map that included Blairgowrie, Rye and St Andrews, declared among the state’s 52 bushfire risk areas in 2009. “I am aware that many people on the peninsula have adopted a wait-and-see strategy on high fire risk days,” he told the meeting. “If a bushfire takes hold, it would move very quickly through coastal vegetation and if people are going to
move to Port Phillip beaches, they would need to do so in the morning and be prepared to stay on the beach all day and into the evening.” The safest strategy for residents in high-risk areas, especially for families with young children as well as the elderly, would be to leave the peninsula the day before a declared Code Red or extreme fire danger day. He said people coming to the peninsula for holidays tended not to read newspapers or listen to radio and television. “They are in holiday mode and the bushfire message does not reach many people in this category,” he said.
Power surge could be costly By Mike Hast UNITED Energy could face claims of hundreds of thousands of dollars following a massive power surge from a Mornington electricity substation on Wednesday morning last week. Up to 10,000 properties in Mornington, Mt Martha, Mt Eliza, Moorooduc and Somerville received 300 volts, 20 per cent more than normal, surging through power lines at about 9am. The CFA said there had been more than 55 calls for help, mostly from householders smelling smoke from electrical appliances and smouldering wiring. The CFA set up an emergency response team at its Moorooduc incident
control centre to take calls from 000 and coordinate the response. Calls were expected up to early evening as people returned to their homes and discovered damage. United Energy spokeswoman Lisa Drought told media outlets that wires in fuses, insulation, roofs and appliances could potentially catch fire. “The repercussions could be very serious if they aren’t noticed,” Ms Drought said. Arthur Haynes of Mornington CFA said many callouts were to homes with hard-wired smoke detectors, some of which had blown out of ceilings. Reports were received of damaged
telephone switchboards and alarms going off. Bentons Square shopping centre in Mornington East was evacuated at 9.20am after the surge cut power. Other commercial and retail outlets were closed for up to four hours. CFA operations manager Trevor Owen said washing machines, toasters, fridges, lights, ceiling fans, fuse boxes and wiring had all been affected. “Many residents noticed smoke or a smoke alarm noises coming from neighbours’ homes,” he said. To make a claim for damage, call United Energy on 1300 131 689 or go to www.unitedenergy.com.au

Health benefits from art
Rock group’s creekside for lift-off FRANKSTON-based group Ikarii took off when inspired by the upturned boats lying on the banks of Mordialloc Creek. Seeing a promotional chance and taking it, the four-piece unit whose members live in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula, took and digitally altered their own uplifting shot for Facebook. Days later Ikarii lifted their onstage act at city venue the Royal Melbourne Hotel with a new light show and a few sampler songs (including The Refuser and 783) from a new album due for release in the new year. The album is being recorded at several studios and is likely to be
released at the end of summer with a video clip. The Ikarii boys – Sean Marsh (vocals and guitar), Mike Power (vocals, guitar), Tim Haberfield (bass) and Riki Platt (drums) – have appeared with Trial Kennedy, The Getaway Plan, Grinspoon, Evermore, The Galvatrons, The Beautiful Girls and Gyroscope. Together since 2007, they already have two EPs, Crash Burn Hold Tight (2008) and Fancy Names For Messed Up People (2010).

MORNINGTON Rotary Club has brought together art and health research for a mutually beneficial result. Sales of artwork run into the tens of thousands of dollars at the annual Mornington Art Show, with profits going to Rotary projects, including supporting Australian Rotary Health. The 41st art show (sponsored by the Mornington Peninsula News Group, publisher of this newspaper), which is again being held in conjunction with Australia Day, will benefit Australian Rotary Health, the largest non-government funder of health research in Australia. Australian Rotary Health began in Mornington in 1981 after Rotarian Ian Scott persuaded the club to establish a fund to support research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). “Initially, the club committed $5000 to the fund and then set about seeking support from other local and district clubs,” Rotarian John Renowden said. “Money began to flow from clubs to the fund and within 18 months the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund, as it was known, was adopted nationally. “Mornington Rotary Club continued to promote the fund with active club visits and publicity from key members like Ian Scott and former school principal Don Gordon. “The club also provided increased amounts of cash for this vital health research and by 1983 almost $200,000 was in the account, which was administered from its Canberra office.” Mr Renowden said research into SIDS had seen the incidence of infant cot death in Victoria drop from 140 in
Research help: Parkinsons disease researcher Bevan Main, centre, with Mornington Rotarians Ian Horton and club president Fran Chambers.
1985 to about 70 in 1991. “Professor Terry Dwyer discovered that SIDS was closely related to the sleeping position of babies and that babies should not sleep face down on their stomachs,” Mr Renowden said. By 1997, the number of infant cot death had dropped to less than 25 in Victoria. “Such has been the growth of this fund that since its humble beginning in 1981, more than $24 million dollars has been allocated to health research.” Grants from the fund have also been made for research into environmental health problems of the aged, adolescent health and family health. “From 2000, the research focused on mental illness research in recognition of the adverse effects that mental illness had on the health and wellbeing of children, youth and adults,” Mr Renowden said. In 2012 Australian Rotary Health has
distributed $975,000 for health research, including 16 mental health grants, and seven Ian Scott PhD Scholarships Public donations can also be made through Mornington Rotary or through the Australian Rotary Health website. Following the death of long-serving community and club member Ron Fallaw, the club has given Bevan Main a Ron Fallaw Memorial PhD scholarship for research into Parkinson’s disease. “So, beginning from the vision of a local club member, our club and the Mornington community has been instrumental in establishing one of Australia’s most effective health research organisations,” Mr Renowden said. Other Rotary projects include the clock tower in Main St, Mornington, gazebos on the foreshore and small training yachts at Mornington Yacht Club to enable people with disabilities to learn to sail.

Trees, axes and Bieber – a Christmas story By Stuart McCullough CHRISTMAS is such a wonderful day that, just like the Olympics, it should be held every year. But not everyone enjoys it. In the classic Dickens story A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge improves his attitude to the Yuletide season after being visited by the spirit of a former business partner and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. For me, such paranormal activity is unnecessary. Even without a visitation by some sprite with a point to prove and little respect for the laws of trespass, I have long been haunted by the ghost of Christmas past. Christmas is a time for goodwill toward men, with the possible exception of Justin Bieber. But even leaving “the Bieb” to one side, there is a dark side to this season of merriment. For 20 years, I have not hung a single Christmas decoration in my house. The Nativity scene is nowhere to be seen. There are no baubles, no guiding star; not even the merest scrap of tinsel or sprig of mistletoe. Worst of all, in all my adult years I have never owned a Christmas tree. We had grown up with a plastic tree. Once, it had seemed gigantic but this was attributable to the fact that we were very small. How we loved the plastic shimmer of its artificial foliage as hazardously discounted Christmas lights illuminated our living room. But such beauty cannot last forever; a point made very clear by the warranty. Even though it was plastic, it still shed its synthetic pine needles as surely as any deciduous autumnal shrub until all that was left looked like an aerial. Next Christ-
mas, we could either get another plastic tree or “go real”. There are several ways you can get a real Christmas tree. You could be unimaginative and buy one from any number of reputable and not so reputable outlets. Or, to save a few bucks, you could grow your own. Although the homegrown option sounds all well and good, the reality is starkly different. To peak at just the right time, you’ve pretty much got to start preparing on Boxing Day. But if neither of these options appeals to you, there is another alternative – you could find one. Surveillance generally began in late September
or early October. Family trips in the Nissan E-20 were often interrupted by sightings of pine trees, as a careful note was made of their coordinates. We would bide our time. When it came to gardening, my dad always did his best work at night. If he spotted a stray flower by the side of the road, it was not uncommon for him to return in the dead hours with a bucket, a shovel and a flashlight. His “Agapanthus runs” became the stuff of legend. It was probably inevitable that he would take the same approach to Christmas. Our father did not so much procure a Christmas tree as take one hostage. On a moonless night in December, we would be put to bed just as our father was putting on his balaclava and checking his map. Sharpening the blade of his axe, he would bid us goodnight. But while getting a Christmas tree under the veil of darkness has certain advantages in terms of evading detection, the results can be uneven. Often, the hapless sapling he’d plucked from the earth in the dead of night would appear to be suffering an illness, its needles rapidly falling out. By Christmas day, the tree would be utterly bald. It was hard not to feel sorry for it. There comes a time when the ghosts of the past must be banished. This year, I decided to get a tree, firmly resolving to pay for one rather than snatch it from somebody’s paddock. We headed out on the moral high road to a major department store. Having never bought decorations before, I was shocked to learn the store had its own Christmas section. And it was playing Justin Bieber’s Under the Mistletoe on a continu-
ous loop. I discovered the little pop moppet even has his own range of Christmas decorations. Tempted as I was to get a “Bieber Bauble”, I had bigger problems – the store had sold out of Christmas trees. Suddenly, I was confronted with a choice. Either I could drive another hour to a different store with plenty of stock or I could borrow my father’s axe. We immediately hit the road. My requirements for a tree were simple – I wanted something large enough to trouble lowflying aircraft, but not so glitzy as to look like it’s about to audition for a supporting role in Pricilla Queen of the Desert. Having committed to a decent tree, I dismissed any thought of going for the partial pig and went the whole hog instead. We bought tinsel, shatterproof decorations and enough lights to make our own airport. The first thing I didn’t count on is that decorating the tree takes more than 30 seconds. Each branch had to be massaged into position. The decorations were pretty but needed thread in order to hang them. And, upon dropping one, I discovered that claims of being shatterproof were tragically misinformed. Perhaps I should have gone the Bieber Bauble after all. But for all the kilometres and heartache, I love our tree. Maybe that’s just because it’s ours. Or perhaps by having it, we’re putting the ghost of Christmas past to rest. Still, looking at it now, perhaps a real tree would be even better. Time to sharpen the axe. Merry Christmas to all. Even Justin Bieber. www.stuartmccullough.com

Storytime: Pupils of three primary schools combined to put on a Christmas pageant. Picture: Mikayla Morehu
Away in a manger By Max Grant, CRE teacher PUPILS from three primary schools joined forces to stage a Christmas pageant at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Hastings. The pupils, who take part in Christian education classes, attend Bittern, Hastings Westpark and Hastings primary schools. The show was produced and performed by professional singers Keryn Morehu and Diane Simmons who have performed the pageant at many schools across the state. A CD produced by the pair featuring songs from the pageant is available for sale online from Eclipse Music.
About 150 pupils, teachers, parents and church members enjoyed the pageant. Many of the pupils were involved in the pageant, dressing up in costumes provided by the Anglican church. The pupils were actively engaged in the program and for many who had not heard the real meaning of the Christmas message this was a day they will remember. The pupils were provided with morning tea after the production provided by the Anglican church. Alex Packet, the vicar of the church, said he was delighted with the pageant and thrilled to see the church packed with children.

Sorrento Rotary art show’s 29th year By Marilyn Cunnington PEOPLE looking for a perfect painting for that special spot in the home might find it at the Rotary Club of Sorrento 29th Annual Art Show. The art show is regarded as one of Mornington Peninsula’s most prestigious, innovative and vibrant exhibitions. A stimulating event attracting many visitors in 2012 and a record number of art sales, it is a great showcase for established and emerging artists with the added benefit of fundraising for the community. All funds raised go toward Rotary community projects. The show features prominent and promising Australian artists. It attracts many buyers from Melbourne and regional Victoria as well as peninsula residents. On the peninsula, art holds significance for many residents and visitors as seen when you walk the Sorrento Portsea Artist Trail, which brings to life famous works by Albert Tucker, Phillip Fox, Arthur Streeton and others who have been inspired by the southern end of the peninsula. Opening night will see more than 400 people with the opportunity to snap up one of the more than 800 imaginative and creative works. Tickets that include champagne and finger food are available from Twiggy’s Shoes, 60 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento. Feature artists this year are Fiona Bilbrough, Ev Hayes, Rosemary Todman-Parrant and John Bredl. John Bredl will also hold a demonstration at 2pm on Sunday 13 January. John Duncan-Firth, known for his paintings of droving and scenes of the mountain cattlemen’s lifestyle, is this year’s judge. The 10-day exhibition opens to the public for viewing and purchasing on Friday 11 January at the official opening and continues until 19 January from 10am until 4pm. Rotary Club of Sorrento 29th Annual Art Show is at Sorrento Community Centre, David MacFarlan Reserve. Details: 0432 420 336 or www.thebayartshow.com.au

Sorrento escape as Crib keep season alive PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO has headed into the midseason break of MPCA Provincial a game clear atop the ladder after a nailbiting win against Rye on Saturday. Defending just 133, Rye’s bowling attack was headed by boom recruit and skipper Darren Groves who produced his best performance of the season to almost single-handedly guide his side to victory. Groves snared 6/47 from 25 overs, his best bowling figures since returning to MPCA. When Sorrento run-machine Nick Jewell was removed for 38, the Sharks looked shaky at 4/51.
At 8/118, it appeared as though the Demons were going to pull off a miraculous victory and keep their season alive. However, Sorrento’s number 10 and 11 batsmen, David Smith and A J King, dug deep, scored 11 runs each and finished not out as the Sharks ended the afternoon in the 64th over at 9/144. Crib Point kept its season alive with a solid win over fourth-placed Moorooduc. Chasing just 132 for victory, the Pies passed the total with three wickets in hand, eventually making 9/184. Henry Dolphin top-scored with 43 and Neil Clark was next best with an unbeaten 34. Baxter is a game behind Sorrento in
second place after cruising to victory over Mt Martha. Chasing 180 for victory, Baxter passed the total with more than five overs to spare and five wickets in hand. The reigning champs were in some early trouble at 3/3, but Bens Smith and Matters put on almost 100 runs for the fourth wicket to give their side the upper hand. Smith contributed 57 batting at three and Matters compiled 62 runs to go with his bowling figures of 3/38. Dale Irving then came in at six and produced an unbeaten half-century. Irving was also sensational with the ball on day one claiming 3/26 from 16 overs. Tim Bateman was the pick of the
Mt Martha bowlers with 3/42 from 17 overs. Mt Eliza continues to work its way back up the ladder, now sitting just four points outside the top four after winning outright against Ballam Park. Scoring 6/208 in 49 overs after bowling the Knights out for 89, Mt Eliza repeated the performance in the second innings, rolling Ballam Park for 59. Sam Creffield finished with match bowling figures of 12/93, and Lyle House had match figures of 7/29. Mornington is in third position on the ladder after recording a very convincing win against Long Island. The Doggies rolled the Islanders for 113 after scoring 283 on week one of the match.
Matt Harper was the destroyer for Mornington, taking 5/27 from just 9.4 overs. Glenn Wood and Matt Foon each collected two wickets. Islanders’ keeper-batsmen Michael Chaplin was his side’s premier runscorer with 32. Heatherhill was able to keep Peninsula Old Boys out of the top four with a hard-fought, 28-run win. Chasing 113 for victory, the Hills scrambled to 140 after top-order bats Christian Heath (55) and Dean Shaw (27) got their side away to a flier. Dylan O’Malley was the pick of the Old Boys bowlers with 3/18 from nine overs.
Langy unstoppable as Somerville and Flinders stay in touch with top four DISTRICT By IT Gully LANGWARRIN remains undefeated at the top of the MPCA District ladder after a commanding victory over Seaford. After playing off in the past two District grand finals, the Kangaroos are well placed heading into the second half of the season to have another crack at the title. On Saturday, the home side was far too strong for Seaford, which sits in second-last place on the table. Defending 8/236, Langwarrin skittled Seaford for just 134, Dwayne Doig again dominating with the ball with 5/30. All-rounder Andy Johnston picked up 2/26. Seaford had no answers for the offspin duo. Former Langwarrin captain and now Seaford skipper Nathan Volpe top-scored against his old side with 41. Carrum is a game clear in second place on the ladder after knocking over Boneo by more than 100 runs. It was an important clash for both teams with outright second place on the line. The Lions made 233 on the first
day of the match and set themselves up for victory. The bowlers did the rest on day two, rolling Boneo for just 108 in 54.4 overs. Jayden Sholl tried to offer some resistance for Boneo in the middle order, scoring 32, but other than Ryan Jellie at the top of the order with 26, he didn’t receive a lot of assistance. The young Carrum bowling attack, led by Liam Dobson with 5/21 from 17.4 overs, was once again unstoppable. The not-so-young Jeremy Graves was also at his best with 3/16 from 12 overs. Hastings is a game outside the four after going down to Delacombe Park, which is in third place at the halfway mark of the season. Despite a five-wicket haul from the Blues’ Isuru Dias, it wasn’t enough for the home side to defend an ordinary total of 95. The Parkers made 154, all-rounder Shane Deal top-scoring with 34. The Blues had their chances, having the Parkers on the ropes at times at 5/72, 6/82, 7/87 and 8/90, but Deal, batting at nine, dug deep, along with Varun Singh batting at 10, who made 17. Dias finished with 5/43 from 24 overs, and Scott Phillips and Luke
Hewitt each claimed two wickets. As predicted, Baden Powell successfully defending its 8/325 against Main Ridge. After Anjula Perera and Elia Carter each scored centuries for the Braves on the first day, they were able to get the job done with the ball. The Ridge’s Gareth Wyatt again played a lone hand for his side with 140, but there wasn’t a lot of support for one of the MPCA’s finest. Somerville is just six points outside the top four after picking up a comfortable win against Pines. The Eagles were extremely well led by Aaron Kaddatz, who continued his sensational season with 5/49. Pines were bowled out for 149, 47 runs short of Somerville’s total. Travis Pastuska scored 42 and Nick Wilcox was left partnerless on 42. Flinders fell short of picking up an outright win against Frankston YCW but did record an important victory. The Sharks remained in contact with the top four after bowling out the Stonecats for 93 and then having them 4/149 chasing the outright. They were defending 307.
Made it: Delacombe Park made heavy work of chasing Hastings’ small total as the Blues’ bowlers gave the powerful batting line-up a big fright. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Hillmen in dumps as Saints bedevil Tooters SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully RED Hill’s disastrous start to MPCA Sub-district season continued on Saturday after it was humiliated by topof-the-table Rosebud. After reaching the 2011-12 final and recruiting Simon Dart in the off-season, big things were expected in 201213, but Red Hill is a game outside the top four in fifth place. On Saturday, the team was in the box seat against the Buds, chasing just 159 for victory, but the Hillmen were embarrassed, rolled for just 63 in the 37th over.
PAGE 44
Dart top-scored with 17, Nick Esipoff was next best with 11 and no other batsmen made it to double figures. Rosebud’s opening bowlers Jason Nagel and Scott Millar were all over the Hillmen. Nagel picked up 5/33, including rattling Dart’s stumps, and Millar chimed in with 5/26. Each bowled 18 overs. Balnarring is in second place on the table, half a game ahead of Seaford Tigers, after recording a sensational victory against Tootgarook. Balnarring was always in the box seat to win after scoring 273 on day one. They then rolled the Tooters for 73, before having another 39 overs to
Western Port News 18 December 2012
try and repeat the performance. Balnarring came up three wickets short, Tootgarook surviving until the end of the day to finish at 7/121. Hanging on was largely due to opener Ash Rickard making 55. Chris Murphy picked up 3/16 in the first innings for Balnarring. Jacob Cook claimed two wickets in the first innings and three in the second to finish with match figures of 5/56. Seaford Tigers scored an outstanding victory against French Island, falling just two wickets short of an outright win. After making 9/279, the Tigers dismissed the Islanders for 50, Corey
Hand backing up his unbeaten 100 with 7/19 and 17-year-old Jordy Watters claiming 2/6. The Islanders then toughed it out in the second innings, finishing on 8/143. Tom Burgdorf and Warren Junkeer each claimed three second-innings wickets for the Tigers. Skye caused the upset of the round, beating Pearcedale with ease. Defending 173, Skye produced a special effort with the ball, ousting the Panthers for just 59. Paul Fillipone continued his fairytale run since returning to senior cricket with 4/12. Looking for an outright, Skye was
only able to get two wickets in Pearcedale’s second innings. It’s been a long time between drinks, but Dromana celebrated on Saturday when it beat Carrum Downs by more than 30 runs. Dromana scored 175 on day one of the clash and then produced some great work with the ball, dismissing the Cougars for 141. Zac Klan claimed 3/23 and Jesse Albrecht, who crossed from Moorooduc, bowled 11 overs and picked up 2/26. Jason Wicks opened the bowling and returned 2/39.

Blues’ bowlers so near and yet so far HASTINGS CRICKET By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Firsts went close to pulling off the win of the season during day two of the match against Delacombe Park on Saturday. The Blues were defending just 95 as Delacombe Park resumed on 1/34 in the box seat for an easy victory. Opening bowlers Issy Dias and Scott Phillips had other ideas and started the day with 5 maiden overs before Phillips bowled one of the openers in the 9th over, 2/47. Both bowlers were keeping it tight with runs hard to come by before Dias opened up the game by taking 5 wickets in his next 7 overs to have the Parkers teetering at 7/87. Then controversy hit as the umpire gave a run out but changed his mind to the dismay of all players and even the batsman. This would have been 8/87. Four overs later Phillips made it 8/90, but next over the Parkers scored a two and a six and it was game over. Delacombe Park finished on 154. Dias was outstanding, bowling 24 overs for 5/43, and Phillips finished with 2/49 off 27 overs. Luke Hewitt took the final 2 wickets, finishing with 2/15 from his 11 overs. The side showed amazing character to nearly defend 95 against one of the most powerful batting line-ups. A team made up of six players under 20 is going to be inconsistent so it will be up to the leaders of the club to show the way. At the Christmas break the side is only one game out of the top four.
Hard to score: Hastings’ bowlers had Delacombe Park on the ropes several times during its stuttering chase of the Blues’ paltry 95 runs made on day one of the two-day fixture. All teams now take a break for Christmas. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Seconds v Delacombe Park: Delacombe Park 8/324 (Jake Ryan 6/64). With a depleted batting line-up and facing a huge run chase, the Hastings innings never got out of first gear and the team could only make 93 with the tail wagging to get it to the total. Greg Bradshaw with 18no, Chris White 15 and Jason Slocombe 13 showed some fight. The Parkers had a second dig and made 4/45 with Peter Dale taking 2/12. Thirds v Dromana: Hastings batted first, opening with Scott Williams and
Wade Delahaye who put on a 55-run partnership with Delahaye making 22. Kayne Lewis joined Williams and they added 47 runs before Lewis was out for 20, 2/102. Matt Foy came to the crease and with Williams put on 105 runs with Hastings totalling 2/207 off its 40 overs. Williams carried his bat to make an outstanding 110no and Foy made 37no. Dromana batted and was quickly in trouble at 2/13 and after the next partnership was broken, collapsed to be all
out for 76 in 30 overs. Kevin Watson bowled 8 overs and took 4/4, Luke Gibbons 2/11 from 10 tidy overs, Chris Marsh 1/9, Matt Sawosz 1/3, Lewis 1/8 and Travis Hewitt 1/31. The win leaves the team in second place on the ladder at the Christmas break with seven games to play. Fourths v Seaford Tigers: Tigers batted first and smashed it way to 7/214 from 40 overs. Kevin Watson doubled up from Saturday and again proved frugal, taking 2/6 off his 5

overs while Zach Jansz took 1/16, Jaysen Bradshaw 1/24 and Simon Clancy 1/36. Hastings collapsed to be all out for 95 with Nathan Goodacre scoring 28, Chris Lehmann 21 and Clancy 17. The loss brings the side back to fourth place with four games to play in the new year. Under-15s v Balnarring: Hastings scored 108 last week with Matt Foy batting through the innings for 50. Saturday morning’s storm washed out play with the game finishing in a draw, leaving the team in fourth place. First game after the break is 19 January. Under-13s v Balnarring: Balnarring 5/109. Hastings made a poor start, losing two quick wickets to be 2/21 before Ryan McNamara scored an impressive 30 and Blake Mealey a patient 30no batting with the tail to steer the team to a stirring win against good opposition. The win should have the team cemented in the four. Under-11s v Crib Point: Hastings 5/116. With the inclement weather on Friday night, only three players arrived on time and Crib Point provided the extra numbers in the field, which was extremely generous. Crib batted and scored 109 with Thomas Finn taking 5/36, Pat Wilson 2/28, Kayde Seymour 2/27 and Devlin Webb 1/9. The president and committee wishes everyone a safe Christmas and a happy new year. The club thanks its sponsors – the Hastings Club, Raytron Electrical, Summer Coastal Construction, MB Plastering, Booth’s Law, L Cooper Real Estate, Bay Building and Hastings Bakers Delight – for their support.

Aussie track wins Hong Kong praise AN Australian company is proving to be a winner on the international horse racing scene. The surface put down by StrathAyr Turf at Hong Kong’s Sha Tin Racecourse received lavish praise from Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Gerard Mosse after Hong Kong International Race Day. “I’ve been in Hong Kong for 23 years and I’ve never known rain like we had leading up to the meeting,” said Mosse, who won the Hong Kong Vase on 2011 Melbourne Cup runnerup Red Cadeaux. “Yet the track raced beautifully on the big day. It was really quite amazing.” Another supporter of StrathAyr tracks, one of which was put down at Moonee Valley in 1995, is Australia’s “Cups King” Bart Cummings. “I think the most beneficial development in international racing in the past 20 years has been the StrathAyr Turf surface,” he said. “It is equal to the best racing surface I have seen anywhere in the world and I think there should be a lot more of them.”

In keeping with the view of Cummings, the StrathAyr company is developing an ever-increasing support base. The surface is currently being used at Happy Valley in Hong Kong; Kranji in Singapore, several United States tracks and at Mackay in Queensland and Launceston in Tasmania. A StrathAyr track also was recently
installed at Darley’s Agnes Banks training base near Hawkesbury in NSW. It is also going in at Kensington track at Randwick in Sydney and at Moe racecourse. In announcing the Moe redevelopment, Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu said the project would transform the
track into “one of the state’s best”. StrathAyr executives are in discussion with officials about the installation of the surface in Japan. The company’s track has been laid down at numerous sporting arenas around the world. These included installation of the StrathAyr ModulAyr System at Mel-
bourne’s Rod Laver Arena for the 2001 Davis Cup final against France. Other venues using StrathAyr include Reliant Stadium in Houston, Urban Ventures Stadium in Minneapolis, Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans, Telstra Stadium in Sydney, and the Adelaide Cricket Ground. “It has been hard going, but we are overjoyed at the support received from a wide range of clubs and governing bodies involved in racing as well as other sporting organisations,” StrathAyr founder Bill Casimaty said. Horses worth following in coming weeks are Alice’s Virtue, Crucial, Euryale, Dark Note, Too Deadly, Goldstone, The New Boy, White Universe, Sheahan, Outstandingly, Devil’s Force, Hot Lover, Under The Hat, Midnight Glory and Khalifa. Best bet: Hot Lover. The racing column will return in February.

Western Port an angler’s paradise ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro WESTERN Port is often overlooked by anglers as some are scared of what they don’t understand. With its large tide, sandbanks and rock bars, many avoid the waterway, but all the elements that make Western Port hazardous also make it a fish haven. Fishing is all about structure, and Western Port is full of structure. Snapper, whiting, squid, salmon, gummy shark and elephant fish all will be on offer this summer. So where to start? In West Entrance, anglers can expect to bag a few gummies, flathead and snapper. For those willing to push out further to Flinders Bank, flathead, arrow squid and shark are waiting. The shallower areas of Flinders and Cat Bay offer whiting, squid, gummy shark and salmon.
The waters off Balnarring, Shoreham and Somers are whiting and gummy shark hotspots that also hold squid, pike and salmon. On the Philip Island side, the deeper water holes and channels hold gummy shark, flathead and snapper. The waters off Cowes and Rhyll hold gummy shark and snapper in the channels, while the banks and shallows hold whiting, salmon and flathead. Late summer sees elephant fish arrive. Hotspots for the strange-looking critters are the waters between Tortoise Head, Corinella and Newhaven. Stony Point offers anglers a great departure point for good fishing waters. Anglers fishing between Stony Point and Hastings have success targeting whiting, squid and salmon in the shallower water, and gummy shark and snapper in the channels. Hastings to Warneet offers wonderful fishing. Both Tyabb and Quail

banks are famous for their huge squid and whiting, while the deeper water surrounding the banks is home to gummy shark, snapper and elephant fish. Also in this region are the hotspots of Eagle Rock and Crawfish Rock, famous for their gummy and snapper fishing. Dicksons Inlet near Yaringa Boat Harbour is a prime hotspot. With deep water separating Tyabb and Quail banks, all of Western Port’s favourite table fish can be caught here and in relatively sheltered waters. Yaringa (5977 4154) is a private harbour providing dry and wet berth storage as well as travel lift and slipping facilities. Yaringa is good for boaties on a budget and offers a full range of marine services. It has a cafe and restaurant. Proving it’s a good place from which to head out for a fish, Yaringa
Fishing Club member Lyda Ryal won second place at the recent Tea Tree fishing comp with a magnificent Western Port snapper of 8.9kg. More than a third of all Tea Tree snapper were caught in Western Port, which shows the quality of the bay as a major Victorian fishery and a top destination for peninsula and Melbourne anglers. Till next year, tight lines and calm seas. Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for magazines and brings his knowledge to MP News Group for season 201213.
