Flood of protest Picture: Yanni

By Jo Winterbottom OPPONENTS of a residential subdivision on a floodway zone in Chelsea Heights have evoked images of recent catastrophic floods in Queensland to rouse public opposition to the proposal. “Floods don’t just happen in Queensland – your own backyards

could be affected!” announce flyers advertising a public meeting to discuss the proposal on Thursday 21 February. The coalition of environment groups and concerned residents also fears the development could expose naturallyoccurring acid sulphate soils which they say could release sulphuric acid and heavy metal contaminants

into Edithvale Wetlands, Mordialloc Creek and, ultimately, Port Phillip. It would also encroach on a wildlife corridor connecting Edithvale Wetlands with Bicentennial Park and Wannarkladdin Wetlands in Patterson Lakes. The proposal to build 25 houses at 44 First Ave will be considered by a state government planning panel.

Kingston council will determine its position at a meeting on Monday 25 February, just two days before the state government planning panel hearing begins on Wednesday 27 February. Council’s position will determine whether council officers and expert witnesses present at the panel hearing in favour of the development.

Excellence Excellence cellence iiss a h habit abit ab it

Council resolved at a meeting in December to refer the matter to the planning panel. The planning panel will hear submissions over three days next week and will the make a recommendation to Planning Minister Matthew Guy, who will ultimately determine whether the planning amendment goes ahead.

Foreshore clean up

Chelsea Heights planning storm Continued from Page 1 The proposal to excise 1.3 hectares from an urban floodway zone at the southern end of Edithvale Wetlands and make it available for residential development was first put forward in 2004. A small part of the privatelyowned 4.7 hectare site is already zoned for residential development; the remaining 2.9 hectares would be handed over to Melbourne Water as a public drainage reserve. This is the third application to build 25 houses at 44 First Ave. In considering the latest application, Kingston engineers made a number of recommendations to improve drainage, which they said would protect houses in the event of a “one in 100 year storm”. The Environmental Defender’s Office will represent Friends of Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands at the planning panel. Kingston Residents’ Association and Kingston Conservation and Environment Coalition will also present their concerns to the panel. A public meeting to discuss the proposal will be held at 6.30pm on Thursday 21 February at Chelsea Heights Community Centre, 160 Thames Promenade, Chelsea Heights.

Flood and fauna risk: Opponents of an expanded development at 44 First Ave, Chelsea Heights, include long-term Chelsea Heights resident Bruce Duffy, Robi Clarey from Friends of Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, Maureen Lim from Kingston Residents’ Association and Robyn Erwin from Kingston Conservation and Environment Coalition.

Car thefts up “LOCK up your cars,” is the message from Mordialloc police after a spate of thefts centred on the Parkdale area. Mordialloc police chief Sergeant Bill Manning said the number of thefts from motor vehicles had increased in the past month, with residential streets in Parkdale particularly vulnerable to opportunistic thieves. “The better weather brings out the thieves and Parkdale seems to be a target,” he said. He also warned that easy pickings from unlocked cars in residential driveways could lead thieves to target houses in the same area. “If they strike an area they think is vulnerable, they will come back,” he said. “And if cars are unlocked, they will assume that the house is vulnerable too.” Sergeant Manning said thieves were targeting coins in car ashtrays, CDs and small personal belongings as well as more expensive items such as laptop computers. Residents should lock their cars and remove valuables, or at least ensure they are stored out of sight. “People have got to be vigilant; they’ve got to lock up their cars, even if it is in the driveway or garage.

Clean Up Australia Day is on Sunday 3 March this year. Clean Up Australia Day was first held in 1990, and has now become the nation’s biggest community-based environmental event. In 2012, an estimated 591,400 volunteers cleaned up 16,169 tonnes at 7,363 sites right across Australia. Kingston Council will be holding several Clean Up Australian Day events across the Kingston foreshore to help prevent litter from entering Port Phillip Bay. Kingston’s foreshore rangers will help with registrations and bag collections at key locations along the beach to allow volunteers to walk along the at their own pace collecting rubbish.

Maddison gymnastics efforts ‘an inspiration’ By Neil Walker MADDISON Bugeja has not allowed her confinement to a wheelchair after a 2009 Mooroolbark car crash stop her being active. The plucky ten-year-old Frankston girl’s determination to participate in sports, despite her disability, inspired Patterson Lakes Community Centre to provide an opportunity for Maddison to exercise. Patterson Lakes Community Centre Gymnastics coach Graeme Marshall said the centre was happy to integrate Maddison into the mainstream gymnastics classes, following an approach by her physiotherapist. Maddison started attending gymnastics classes in August last year. “Maddison started doing about an hour per week gymnastics last year and this has increased to about an hour-and-a-half this year,” Mr Marshall said. Maddison visits the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne for quarterly check-ups. “The doctors were amazed at how straight Maddison’s body is when doing hanging rings exercises,” Mr Marshall said. “We’re working on improving her core strength and she is progressing well.” Maddison’s mother, Jenni Bugeja, said her daughter is “really loving” the gymnastics sessions. “She’s improved out of sight since she started and her attitude has been

great,” Ms Bugeja said. “We’re proud of her.” Gymnastics Victoria presented Patterson Lakes Community Centre with their inaugural Inclusive Initiative of the Year award for their efforts in ensuring Maddison had the opportunity to take part in gymnastics at the centre. The award is presented to the club which best promotes and demonstrates positive inclusive practices within the sport of gymnastics and shows practical and responsive actions to changing community and social needs, providing opportunities for participation and involvement in gymnastics. Graeme Marshall said Maddison’s attitude and effort are “an inspiration” to staff at Patterson Lakes Community Centre.

Sports centre closed THE National Water Sports Centre at Bangholme is temporarily closed to all water recreational use, due to a very high reading for blue-green algae. Ranger in Charge Reece Taranto said Parks Victoria rangers ordered the sample on 13 February following a visible algal bloom in the waters. “The temporary closure is to ensure public safety,” said Mr Taranto. “Clear signage is in place at multiple sites around the park and visitors are discouraged from rowing, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing.” “Melbourne Water staff regularly monitor the water quality at the site and will be taking samples every week until the blue-green algae levels have cleared.” Blue-green algae occurs naturally and can be dangerous to humans and animals. People who come into contact with affected water should wash affected skin immediately in clean water. People should also avoid allowing pets to come into contact with the water. The National Water Sports Centre will reopen as soon as the water quality is safe for use. Park visitors are still able to enjoy recreational activities at Patterson River.

Food for tummies, not landfills By Mike Hast SURPLUS food from 18 supermarkets between Rye and Mordialloc will go to a not-for-profit community group that feeds needy people. The arrangement between Woolworths supermarkets and FareShare was launched in Hastings on Monday. It is the latest deal between Woolies and FareShare, which started in inner Melbourne in late 2008 when two supermarkets agreed to provide unsold fresh fruit, vegetables and meat to the group instead of sending it to landfill. Dozens of stores now supply FareShare, which says it aims to serve one million meals this year.FareShare vicepresident Sandy Dudakov said the organisation had since 2001 “given away healthy, nutritious meals to the hungry and the homeless in Victoria, using food donated by businesses�. “By rescuing food that would otherwise be wasted, ending up in landfill, we do our bit for the planet by helping to cut methane pollution and reducing demand for new food products,� he said. FareShare volunteers will collect food from outlets in Rye, Rosebud, Rosebud West, Hastings, Somerville, Baxter, Mornington, Mornington East, Mt Eliza, Frankston, Langwarrin, Karingal, Seaford, Carrum Downs, Patterson Lakes, Chelsea and Mordialloc. It will be used to make meals distributed throughout Melbourne and Victoria by more than 300 charities. At the launch, federal MP Greg Hunt, whose electorate covers most of the peninsula, congratulated Wool-

worths for its continued support of FareShare. The good news was a break for Woolies, which, along with its great supermarket rival Coles, is being investigated by Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for allegedly engaging in improper practices to force down prices from suppliers. Woolies and Coles control about 70 per cent of Australia’s grocery spending and have been accused of using bullying tactics against food and grocery suppliers. About 50 suppliers have contacted the ACCC after it promised to protect their identities, formalising complaints that have been circulating unofficially for years. The two supermarket chains last year recorded combined revenue of more than $70 billion.

Silent film comp organ-ised THE International Youth Silent Film Festival is coming all the way from Portland in the USA to Victoria for the first time in its history thanks to Kingston Arts. Successful entrants could find themselves being flown, all expenses paid, to the United States to compete in the finals. Kingston Arts invites young filmakers to attend an information session at Kingston City Hall on Monday 25 February, where full details on the competition and how to enter will be given. Filmmakers are required to select original scores, from six genres including slapstick, action, horror, mystery, romance, and sci-fi, to be played on Kingston’s heritage Wurlitzer Organ. Films will be judged on their use of the score in the film’s story. Entry is

free and film submissions are due by 9 September. The top 30 submissions will be shown to the public on the big screen with live theatre organ accompaniment at Kingston City Hall on 19 October 2013. Films will be judged by an expert panel from the Australian film industry. Visit www.makesilentfilm.com for full competition guidelines and prize details.

Sound ideas: Silent film competition entrants will base entries on Wurlitzer Organ genre soundtracks.

Welcome party: From left, Assistant Commissioner Chris O’Neill, Kingston mayor Ron Brownlees, Minister for Police Peter Ryan and Carrum MP Donna Bauer welcome protective services officers Jesse and Annand to Carrum railway station.

PSOs on the way By Neil Walker VICTORIA Police advise efforts to recruit the required number of protective services officers are on track, with an extensive recruitment advertising campaign seeking to boost officer numbers. A $2.7 million TV, press and online advertising campaign, running from January to March, is trying to entice “smart, fit” people with “excellent communication skills” to apply for the jobs maintaining safety at Victo-

ria’s train stations in evenings from 6pm until the last train departs the station. Just two stations on the Mentone to Frankston section of the Frankston line currently have armed PSOs on duty. Frankston train station welcomed its PSOs in August last year with officers arriving at Carrum train station in January this year. The state government pledged to have 940 protective services officers on duty at all metropolitan and major

regional railway stations by November next year. There are currently 278 PSOs working at 35 stations across Victoria’s rail network. A police spokesperson advised the deployment date for Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Edithvale, Chelsea, Bonbeach, Seaford and Kananook stations have not yet been confirmed. The spokesperson advised: “Victoria Police is on track to recruit 940 PSOs by the end of 2014.”

AROUND THE REGION

Rooftop bar for old PO site By Mike Hast FRANKSTON’S old post office on the corner of Davey St and Nepean Highway, which has been a licensed restaurant, bar and most recently a strip club, is set for a new life as a restaurant and tavern with an outdoor rooftop deck. Councillors have approved the restoration and alteration of the two-storey building, which is listed on a heritage overlay in the Frankston planning scheme for its “aesthetic significance as a rare and largely intact example of a post office in the interwar Modern style”. A report to the council stated developer Stewart Brasier of Frankston South would reinstall the windows, blocked as part of operating conditions when the building was the Kittens strip venue between 1997 and last year. The black building will be repainted in the original colour scheme, but the biggest change will be removal of the roof and creation of a rooftop deck for 150 patrons. About 350 patrons will be permitted inside. Mr Brasier, a 25-year veteran of the hospitality industry, took over the building’s lease last year. The interior has been gutted and work is set to start next week. He hopes to open the venue, to be called The Deck, in about three months. The council has given the OK for the rooftop deck to open from 11am to 1am, and the restaurant/tavern from 11am to 3am Sunday to Thursday, and 11am-4.30am Friday and Saturday. No amplified music will be permitted on the deck.

The Deck will join other late night liquor venues including the Grand Hotel, Daveys Hotel and the Pier Hotel. The report to councillors stated: “The liquor licences issued for these venues all contain a range of conditions relating to crowd control, maximum number of patrons and hours of operation. On most days these venues operate from 7am till 3am on the following day with some parts of some venues allowed to operate until 5am. All licences have a special condition where patrons are not permitted to enter or re-enter the premises after 2am on any day except where there is a gaming room.” The conversion of the old post office

building to a tavern means the Nepean Highway and Davey St intersection will once again have four “pubs”. Frankston was famous for its “Pub Corner” in the 1880s. The first, Cannanuke Inn, was started by pastoralist John Davey in the early 1840s. It was where the car park of the Mechanics Hall is now. The inn was followed by Mark Young’s Pier Hotel on the northwest corner, Prince of Wales on the southwest corner and the Bayview Hotel, now the Grand, on the northeast corner. The council has asked Mr Brasier to “address the potential of any unreasonable noise” from the rooftop deck. It also will not require The Deck to

THE lure of a free run home proved costly for a cyclist caught using Peninsula Link freeway. CCTV cameras recorded footage of the man cycling in the emergency stopping lane of the freeway each afternoon for several days. Leading Senior Constable Ross Randall of Frankston highway patrol said Peninsula Link staff alerted police to the man’s pattern of travel so that police were able to head him off at the Skye Rd exit of Peninsula Link about 4pm on Monday 18 February. The 64-year-old Frankston man was fined $282 for unlawful use of the emergency stopping lane.

have extra car parking. “The site is well located in terms of public car parking and availability of on-street parking, particularly in and around the foreshore, in and around the Nepean Highway and Davey St junction and the car park adjacent to the Mechanics Hall,” the report stated. “The majority of this is within easy walking distance. In addition, there is good access to public transport with a regular bus route along Nepean Highway providing access to and from Frankston train station and a regular taxi service. There is also public car parking within close proximity including the Frankston Arts Centre and corner of Young and Davey streets.”

TWO fishermen have been killed in the past two years while using mainsoperated 240V probes to collect worms as bait. The probes are used to shock worms into coming to the surface from their underground travels. “No fisherman should ever use probes to collect bait,” Energy Safe Victoria director Paul Fearon said. “Anyone with the apparatus should throw it away immediately.” Earlier this year a team of bait collectors using electric probes were warned off council reserves on the Mornington Peninsula. Mr Fearon’s warning follows the death of a 53-year-old man at Walwa, a town close to the Murray River in north eastern Victoria. He was the second person to be killed using electricity to gather bait in the past three years. For more information, go to www.esv. vic.gov.au.

the Cleaning up crime and grime Bauer Brief

By Terri Lee Fatouros NEXT time you are doing dreary housework, spare a thought for Sandra Pankhurst. While you might be washing your kitchen floor, Ms Pankhurst could be leaving her Frankston home knowing she will soon be mopping up blood-soaked carpets, scrubbing gorestained decks or removing gruesome remains. She specialises in cleaning up places where there may have been a murder or other crimes, a sudden death, neglect, fire, flood, pet hoarding or an elderly person living in squalor. After working for years as a lab technician and a funeral director, Ms Pankhurst decided she needed a change after burying a close friend. “It became too personal for me. My dearest and best friend died and I had to bury her,” she said. However, being a funeral director had made her aware that people wrongly assumed that police, fire brigade or ambulance service officers cleaned up after any traumatic situation. After lengthy discussions and research, she and her husband Alfred – who has since died – launched Specialised Trauma Cleaning Services in the early 1990s. Ms Pankhurst has many similarities to her late husband’s great ancestor Emmeline (or Emily) Pankhurst, the first suffragette in early 20th century Britain advocating women’s right to vote. Over the years Sandra Pankhurst has run for local government, sat on committees, raised money while chairperson of Sandringham Red Cross and headed the North Brighton Chamber of Commerce. Her love of community and helping people in need along with her past expertise as lab technician and funeral director brings a unique professionalism to the gory business of trauma cleaning. With 10 full-time staff trained by Jenco Dyco – a school for crime scene, trauma cleaning, carpet cleaning, hoarding, meth and lab work, fire and flood damage and all types of restorative work – Ms Pankhurst and her team suit up wearing masks, double gloves, boots, hairnets and breathing apparatus. “I guess you have to be somewhat macabre to be in this business,” she said. “In order to deal with it you are forever playing Sherlock Holmes and trying to figure out how this happened or why that happened. “With murder, suicide or death situations, the body is always removed before we go in, but what is left for my team to clean up can be rather gruesome.” Ms Pankhurst graphically describes an awful tale of cleaning up after a body had decomposed in an upstairs flat, with bodily fluids seeping through the downstairs ceiling. Her team had to make the building biologically safe before the flooring could be replaced. Unlike most cleaners, Ms Pankhurst’s team uses saws, hammers, chisels and spades as well as biological solutions and sanitisers. “You can forget your everyday cleaners for this type of work,” she said. “Properties have to be cleaned correctly as

bio-fluids can seep into undetected places or dangerous chemicals from a meth lab will affect the long-term health of occupants if not detected and properly removed. “Our work is like a scene from a CSI TV show as we use ultraviolet light to search for invisible toxins and fluids.” One job involved cleaning a one-bedroom flat where a woman had been living with four guinea pigs, three rabbits, two cats and two dogs. “There was food, faeces, urine, rats, bugs and mess everywhere,” Ms Pankhurst said. “Wall to wall, filthy clothes, bedding and towels were strewn everywhere and most had to be thrown away due to mould and contamination. The place stunk. “In extreme situations such as this, the RSPCA is called in due to breaches of environmental guidelines along with council environmental officers to work out the best form of action. “Life circumstances can affect all of us, so one must never judge.” Ms Pankhurst finds hoarders “the most intriguing lot” as they are often cunning and clever, not letting their family or friends inside their home. “They usually pretend they have a busy lifestyle and often suggest meeting friends down the street. It’s only after they die that family or friends get a real look at how they lived.” Ms Pankhurst says she is able to detach herself from unpleasant situations. She finds helping people organise their lives and getting them back on track after trauma, illness or death and giving them a clean, sanitised house is “extremely gratifying”.

“I guess the point of difference with my team is that we really do have compassion, care and dignity for the people involved. Anyone can be a cleaner, but not everyone can be sympathetic to the situation at hand in a professional and empathic manner.” For more information about Specialised Trauma Cleaning Services, go to www.stcservices.com.au

CCTV cameras will be installed in the carpark of Gnotuk Ave Aspendale thanks to a $200,000 grant from the Victorian Government. The cameras will help to address antisocial behaviour in and around Aspendale and residents have welcomed the initiative, which will improve community safety in the area. The cameras act as a deterrent to those who think it’s acceptable to behave in a violent or anti-social way on our streets. Aspendale has experienced problems with anti-social behaviour, especially in summer due to the close proximity of the beach. The project has had long-term support from the Kingston Council and the Chelsea Police, and I am proud to be delivering upon another election commitment. Funding of $600,000 has been provided by the Victorian Government to introduce new boating and swimming zone signs along the Bay from Elwood to Mt Martha. This will create a safer environment for all users on the water by clearly defining boundaries and separating boating and swimming activities in high risk areas. New signage on the shore and new aids for navigation such as piles or buoys in the water will be provided. There will be swimming only zones, shared 5 knot speed limit zones and boating only zones. With a large stretch of coastline in my electorate, from Aspendale to Seaford, the new zones will improve the safety of beachgoers and protect swimmers. French Language assistants have been delivered to Mordialloc College and Edithvale Primary School, providing hands-on support with pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary to students, as well as bringing skills in ICT, dance, drama, music and sport into their school communities. Primary Welfare Officers (PWOs) have also started at Chelsea Heights Primary School and Patterson Lakes Primary School as part of the Victorian Government’s $124 million commitment to help stamp out bullying. The new PWOs will provide support to students experiencing issues which may be affecting their health, behaviour and wellbeing, in addition to promoting school attendance. I’ve enjoyed visiting our local kindergartens to donate a strawberry planter and have had fun planting with Kananook, Patterson Lakes, Nola Barber, Aspendale Gardens, Seaford, Bonbeach and Rene Anderson Kindergarten.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 20 February 2013

Macca’s may seek the lot at planning tribunal By Mike Hast MCDONALD’S is expected to appeal Frankston Council’s rejection of its planned outlet in Seaford. The global fast food giant has 60 days from 4 February to appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, but a council source said notification of the action was “expected in the next few daysâ€?. An alternative view is that McDonald’s will submit a new application that would address concerns raised by council officers, VicRoads and objectors. Councillors unanimously refused the application for a 24-hour, 112-seat restaurant on the corner of the Nepean Highway and Seaford Rd, a former service station built in the early 1960s. The site comprises six blocks with a combined frontage to the Nepean Highway of about 45 metres, a frontage to Seaford Rd of 80 metres and total area of about 3500 square metres. Macca’s wants to build a restaurant with a dual drive through, McCafe, loading bay, playground, party room and outside dining area. The rejection at a planning meeting at Frankston Arts Centre, moved from the council chamber due to the high level of community interest, was greeted by clapping and cheering. The council gave six reason for knocking back the proposal: ď Ž The site was in a residential zone. ď Ž The proposal did not comply with council’s design and development rules for the area. ď Ž Proposed traffic management and access was “unacceptableâ€?. ď Ž The restaurant would affect the “amenityâ€? of the surrounding area.

Macca’s plans did not satisfy VicRoads. proposal was “inconsistent with the objectives of state and local planning policy frameworksâ€? covering elements such as environmental and landscape values, environmental risks, natural resource management, built environment and heritage, and economic development. The objection by VicRoads was a key element of the council’s decision. A report to councillors stated VicRoads, the state government’s roads authority, was concerned about access to the restaurant site from the Nepean Highway and Seaford Rd as well as a general concern about the impact on the T-intersection of the two roads. Traffic waiting to turn into the site from Seaford Rd would block traffic. Cars slowing to turn into the highway entrance of Macca’s would cause safety concerns. Also of concern was “the high crash rate of pedestrians and cyclists on the northern side of the Nepean Highway and Seaford Rd intersection from right turning vehicles out of Seaford Rd onto the highwayâ€?. The council received 400 individual objections as well as more than 200 signatures on petitions. Objectors led by citizen lobby group Seaford Community Rejects Another McDonald’s (SCRAM) also listed concerns about the effect on nearby Kananook Creek and Seaford foreshore. Other objections included stormwater runoff, litter, noise, odour, floodlights and vermin. ď Ž

Abbott as disintegrating man makes Bald Archy final HASTINGS artist Fran Henke has entered two paintings in this year’s Bald Archy Prize, the satirical portraiture contest that spoofs the Archibald Prize. Disintegrating Man, a portrait of Opposition leader Tony Abbott (far right), has been accepted as a finalist. “It is painted after Francis Bacon, which is topical with a Bacon retrospective at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney. I stretched an image of Tony Abbott in Photoshop. It’s not my usual style but I’m pleased with the result,� Henke said. Her second painting is Punch and Judy, aka Julie Gillard and Kevin Rudd. “It’s a rundown Punch and Judy show with torn backdrop; tired, overpainted puppets; and weeds growing around their ‘theatre’. Politics today,� she said. “The idea came from Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull’s appearance on ABC TV’s Q&A. “I can’t remember which one mentioned Punch and Judy show but it occurred to me that Judy was really Rudd and more amusing that way. The tired show has weeds growing around Parliament House overlooked by bureaucrats in their tall buildings. I believe the public is really sick of pollies dusting each other up.� Henke said she loved painting for the prize because “it offers the chance for a touch of wickedness and experi-

ment. The pictures take weeks, sometimes longer, to work up.� Seaford artist Tony Sowersby also has entered two portraits in the “Bald Archies�, the bound-to-be-controversial A Fair Day’s Pay For a Black Day’s Work (above) and Quentin, Crisp – Representing an Old English Queen. “Last year, Gina Rinehart told us that ‘Africans are happy to work for $2 a day’. Australians listened because they respect Gina as a self-made billionaire who started out with only tens of millions and a mountain of iron ore and dragged herself up by her bootstraps,� Sowersby said. “She has earned the right to lecture us on ascetic lifestyles and family

values. In fact, Gina has had a democratising effect on our country: she is, monetarily, the richest Australian ever but virtually no one envies her.� Of his portrait of Governor-General Quentin Bryce, Sowersby said: “I only know three famous Quentins and I couldn’t think of a family friendly Tarantino joke. Australia has two women in the two top positions in government. One exercises real power, makes real decisions and has been subject to a barrage of criticism concerning her appearance, her clothes and worse. The other fulfils a ceremonial function and is regularly complimented for her demeanour and fashion sense. Funny that.�

It is a pleasure to have been the Principal of Mordialloc College, a vibrant learning community, since 2010. We provide quality education with high expectations and multiple pathways for students to achieve success. We have a dedicated and skilled teaching team and the academic progress and wellbeing of every student is of the utmost importance.

A true history of the Russian Revolution By Stuart McCullough LAST year, unsuspecting VCE students were given an exam question on the Russian revolution based on Nikolai Kochergin’s painting Storming of the Winter Palace. The examiners sourced a copy of the famous work from the internet – it’s how things are done these days. But along with depictions of revolutionary hoards storming the palace gates, the picture also featured an armed robot. The robot had not been a feature of the original work, perhaps as a matter of oversight, and was apparently added by some internet dweeb with way too much time on his hands. The robot, it must be said, appears to be quite a fearsome work of mechanical wonder. It has cannons in place of arms and a goose-like neck with something resembling a bazooka for a nose. It is clear from even the most cursory of glances that the robot in question is an awesome killing machine. It makes you wonder: why wouldn’t the Bolshevik forces use such an amazing piece of weaponry? While conventional history would have you believe that the revolutionaries stormed the former home of Tsar Nicholas with little more than a stale piece of bread and a knitting needle, the truth is far darker. This was, after all, the first successful communist uprising. That they had help from futuristic robots and other advanced weapons goes a long way to explaining how the Soviet empire was formed. The painting depicts the events of 25 October 1917. The Russian royal family had abdicated some months earlier and was in the process of trying to put together a Kardashian-style weekly documentary series to restore its good

fortune. Sadly, the project never got off the ground and the family was brutally executed the following year, a fate that is sadly yet to befall the Kardashians, despite my letters.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 20 February 2013

A provisional government under the leadership of Alexander Kerenski had been established and had occupied the royal family’s former home. Just as Rome was not built in a day,

neither was the Russian revolution. Vladimir Lenin had been in exile and, sensing that the time was right, had returned to Russia from Finland two weeks earlier disguised as a train engineer. It’s a little-known fact that aside from being a communist revolutionary and Theremin enthusiast, Vlad was a master of disguise. I’ll bet he wore an engineer’s cap, overalls and a neckerchief. I’d like to think he helped passengers with their luggage or even attempted to explain the pre-revolutionary version of the Myki ticketing system. Arriving in St Petersburg, Lenin ditched his engineer duds and replaced them with a brown cloak and hood. It allowed him to walk through the city unrecognised. Legend has it that when stopped by armed guards, Lenin simply declined a request for identification papers by raising his arm and waving his hand slowly across the guards’ faces. In addition to his ability to control the minds of others, he was also something of an early riser and the communists decided storming the Winter Palace was something best done at 2am. Say what you will of the perils of communism, but their devotion to an early start has to be admired. That way, Lenin could bed down the revolution well before breakfast and still make his regular Pilates and spin classes. Lenin later joked that this was an example of “class struggle”. The revolution was something of an anti-climax in that the Russian army was off fighting the First World War. Later, Lenin went on to say that they had found power lying in the streets and had simply “picked it up”. Not that they knew it would be so easy. As

a band of Red Guards approached the Winter Palace, they would have had little idea as to what awaited them. Lenin, fearless leader and part-time train enthusiast that he was, led the way. Luckily, the joint was almost entirely abandoned. But turning toward the main ballroom, the would-be revolutionaries unexpectedly stumbled on the remains of Alexander Kerenski’s provisional government. Immediately sensing danger, Lenin reached beneath his robe and activated his light sabre. Somersaulting toward his would-be assailants as they fired off several shots from their laser blasters, Lenin used nearly every technique that his mentor, Yoda, had taught him. It was over within minutes. Having conquered the Winter Palace, Lenin then returned to the Millennium Falcon and the forest moon of Endor for a party featuring Humphrey B Bear’s midget cousins. These events are nowadays referred to as either the Great October Socialist Revolution or, if preferred, simply as “Rocktober”. The real painting is in Tchelyabinsk, so it’s no surprise the examiners resorted to the internet. But I, for one, welcome the fact that the truth about the so-called People’s Uprising has finally been exposed as the big robotic lie that it is. Sadly, of the nearly 2500 students who answered the question, only 27 made reference to the robot. Apparently, the appearance of the mechanical death machine was too much for some. Little wonder. With so much at stake, few will have had the presence of mind to expose the Russian Bolshevik Revolution for the full-on Jedi freak festival that it was. Maybe next year. www.stuartmccullough.com

Mountains of Easter fun at Red Hill Show EASTER is looming large on the horizon and one of the key events in the region is the Red Hill Show. The 85th show is from 8.30am-5pm on Easter Saturday 30 March at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve. A show spokeswoman said: “There will be so much to see and do for all the family at this iconic event, but had you thought about entering one of the many sections? “The sections are: alpacas and fleece, art, black and coloured sheep, cattle, cooking, craft, dog high scramble, flowers, fruit, photography, poultry, rats, sheep, vegetables, woodchop, and junior classes. “Within the alpaca section there are a number of classes. The conditions of entry and information is available by looking at a link through the show’s website.

“Art – have you ever decorated a totem pole? Get the children involved in this fun project. Totem poles must be no more than two metres high and 15cm in diameter and can be decorated in any way – paint, mosaic, collage or other imaginative materials. “Black and coloured sheep have a number of classes, aas does the stud sheep, and within the cattle section there is a young beef handler competition for young people aged 10 to 21. “Cooking – where to start? From plain scones to mud cake, decorated wedding cakes to gluten-free biscuits, sausage rolls to plum pudding, there are many classes to enter. “There is a gourmet dip championship, a non-commercial cheese section, a homemade wine

section as well as jams, preserves and beverages. “There is also the opportunity for people with a disability to enter. “Craft opens up opportunities for many people with categories including knitting, crochet, sewing, patchwork, appliqué and quilts, embroidery, lace tatting, dolls and toys, spun wool, alpaca handcraft, woodwork, cut and jewelled eggs and unspecified craft. “People with a disability are encouraged to enter. “Flowers, fruit and vegetable sections give entrants the chance to present what they have lovingly cultivated over time. “Photography – from landscape to pets and animals; abstract to sport/ action and many other classes. “Poultry categories include silkie,

Indian runners, bantams Rhode Island red and many more. “A fancy rat show will also attract entries in different classes.” Information about all categories is available through the show’s website: www.redhillshow.org “There are also endless opportunities for young people to enter with classes ranging in age from 5-18 years. Look for the junior classes schedule on the website or email redhillshow@hotkey.net.au “The ever-popular woodchop has a number of classes. Look for the different categories in the woodchop schedule or call the show office on 5989 2357 for an entry form. “Entries in the dog high scramble will be accepted at the secretary’s office on the day of the show. This event will be conducted in the

afternoon at the conclusion of The News Grand Parade. “With all the different features within the sections and classes, make a decision now as to which category you are going to enter. “Please check the closing date on each schedule as no late entries will be accepted. “The show promises an exciting day packed with entertainment, displays, rides, stallholders and more.” Tickets details: Family (2 adults and 3 children 6-18 years) $50; adult $15, children (6-18 years) $10, and pensioners and students $10.

EMI will release the Iron Maiden Double Disc DVD Maiden England ’88 on March 25. Now available for the very first time on DVD, this live show was filmed across two sold-out nights in the UK in 1988 during the band’s World Tour. Disc one contains the concert which has been specially upgraded and extended from the existing 1989 long form VHS release and now includes three previously unreleased encores: Running Free, Run To The Hills and Sanctuary thereby completing the full concert with a total running time of 110 minutes. Maiden’s own film producer and director Andy Matthews went back to the 1988 edit and painstakingly remastered each shot digitally; colour correcting and grading to give the image the best possible look from that time. The Maiden England ‘88 concert soundtrack will also be made available on 2CD album, limited edition double vinyl picture disc and digital download formats. The 2013 World tour dates have been announced. www.ironmaiden.com *** AN exciting new era kicked off in epic style for Mushroom in Melbourne last week with 550 of the leading entertainment group’s closest friends celebrating the announcement by Michael and Matt Gudinski of a major rebranding for the Mushroom Group, with new logos and a repositioning for the group’s two dozen subsidiaries. After 40 years in the business, the Mushroom Group is proudly Australia and New Zealand’s leading independent entertainment group. With more than 20 companies under the umbrella, Mushroom arguably defined the ‘360’ model long before it became a music industry catchphrase. Encompassing international and domestic touring, booking agencies, record labels, merchandising, music publishing, creative and marketing services, venues, exhibition and events production, film and television production, there is almost no end to what the Mushroom Group does or can offer. Executive chairman of the Mushroom Group Michael Gudinski said: “After 40 years in the business I cannot express how proud I am of what the Mushroom Group is today and that my son Matt has stepped up into the role of executive director. Times have been tough for the music industry in general but the diversity

of Mushroom and the quality of the artists we work with has ensured our position as Australia and New Zealand’s leading independent entertainment group. I can’t wait to see where the next decade takes us.” Matt Gudinski added: “Mushroom has been synonymous with quality music and entertainment for many Australian and New Zealanders since the ‘70s. The sale of our perhaps most publicly known company, Mushroom Records, back in the late ‘90s led to some confusion around the Mushroom brand, despite the fact that the Mushroom Group and its subsidiaries and is now in a better position than ever before. Today’s announcement is about reconnecting the power of the Mushroom brand and its many associated companies with both the public and the industry.” Mushroom Records was formed by Michael Gudinski and Ray Evans in 1972. Its inaugural release was the triple live of the 1973 Sunbury Pop Festival and over the next few years Gudinski and Evans signed a number of great Australian acts including Chain, Madder Lake, Mackenzie Theory, Buster Brown, Sid Rumpo, Ayers Rock, Skyhooks, Mother Goose, Stars, Ol’55, Split Enz, The Sports, The Dingoes, The Ferrets and many others. *** AUSTRALIA Post is showcasing popular small dog breeds with the release of five domestic base-rate (60c) stamps featuring a miniature schnauzer, miniature dachshund, pug, Australian terrier and a cavalier King Charles spaniel.

I HEARD a car pull up in the gravel driveway and saw Oscar get out. As he walked toward me, I saw he was wearing one loosely tied sneaker on the left foot and a Blundstone boot on the right. He had on a brown Volvo cardigan over a VB T-shirt, and blue work shorts. He had obviously been in a good paddock judging by the tightness of the T-shirt, and was smoking as he walked, alternating a draw on the cigarette with a deep cough. He carried a six-pack of beer and was puffing like a steam train. He was not a picture of fitness and sartorial elegance. However, I digress. Oscar sat down with a deep sigh and told me he was in deep trouble and didn’t know what to do. I told Oscar I believed the lovely Charlotte had given him an ultimatum. She had told him he was not nice to be near, was overweight, unfit, drank and smoked too much, ate the wrong food, dressed like a bogan and, to top it off, was not a satisfactory matrimonial companion. She had told him to shape up or ship out. Oscar’s jaw dropped. He was displeased with Charlotte for telling me this. I was able to settle him down and said she had not “given him up”. I told Oscar I knew he was overweight because had put on different shoes that morning, not being able to see what he was doing due to his extended stomach. I said he should also do up his fly. I told him his breathing showed the low level of his fitness and that his dress sense was a complete turnoff to anyone who saw him, especially women. He was devastated. Poppy’s solution I told him to go home to Charlotte and ask for her assistance to get fit. He was then to see a doctor, get a check-up and then start walking every day, building to 45 minutes a session. I gave Charlotte a diet of low carbs, high protein and salads for Oscar and a small plate. To cut down his drinking, he had to drink one full glass of water after each stubby (try it some time, you disbelievers). He had to stop smoking before it killed him. I told him to buy some new clothes under the supervision of Charlotte (anyone who can wear a brown Volvo cardigan has no dress sense), and chuck out the old ones. Until his stomach reduced, he was to get a clothing check from Charlotte before venturing out into society. Oscar took my advice, and while he will never have the ultimate body, he has lost weight, feels and looks better, and suggests you all learn from him. He now wears better clothing and confessed he gets an invite to the other side of the bed now and then.

A Grain of Salt I’VE yet to meet the person without bias. True; many will not divulge their political leanings though one five minute conversation shows the way. What in God’s name is a swinging voter and why advertise it; I don’t believe them anyway. You’re either Labor or Liberal unless you happen to be infused with a temporary (four years?) feeling that you have seen the Green light. I vote Labor not because I was born that way (as I was) but because I cannot bring myself to vote Liberal. You can talk till you’re blue in the face but there are only two parties; one to govern, the other to oppose. Football is no different, almost always a situation of birth but again the two options; for or against the Mighty Magpies, infused again with bias. Imagine being a supporter of the Liberal Party and a Carlton supporter; like being born in the Malle, no disrespect intended to those who live in Malle. Two thousand and thirteen is the Chinese year of the black snake, the humanitarian year of the zodiac. With what’s happening in politics and football I don’t see the humanitarian influence coming our way. Press on, ever in hope. PS: Some of my best friend have the Malle influence, misguided obviously. *** Ever so slowly they are stuffing us up, one small step at a time. An army of do-gooders with ideas via the Yanks,

political correctness, anti-discrimination, healthy living, children, teaching; never ending. On the Mornington Peninsula we have The Friends of Rosebud Beach and Foreshore, Our town Rye, the Greenies, the Red Hill Community Action, Beleura Neighbours, Mount Eliza Action Group, the ecologically aware crowd and the environmental campaigners generally. Further afield like groups are splattered all the way to Mordialloc and possibly beyond; an unknown area in my world. We have councillors but I’ve never seen one and always politicians, each a pseudo model of goodness. Glory be. Amidst all this it becomes more evident that a number of older people have a strong sense of regret about their lives coupled with a singular respect for their actions. We want other people to conduct themselves in a certain way; actions and thinking. Forget it. The train has left the station, express to Lahlahland. Imagine a month, a whole blissful bloody month with no research results and, perhaps more importantly, no new laws. Pigs might fly. *** SENIOR Youth Court Judge Stephen McEwen, commenting on government departments making arms length decisions running contrary to the welfare of troubled youths after instructing the department to house two brothers in the same juvenile detention facility

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 20 February 2013

and finding that said instructions had not been followed said: “I’m sick and tired of that entire department being obstructive control freaks, constantly throwing up psuedo reasons dressed up in social work speak for refusing to just have a look at the blindingly obvious. “They hire people who are social workers who are trained and probably want to do social work, but they don’t let them because no one will do anything without running it past a bunch of psychologists. I think it’s just utterly pathetic... and they come out with facile pathetic nonsense” Nice to know someone agrees with me. *** THE dust has settled and normalcy returns, almost. Living on the Mornington Peninsula where, handsome Greggy Hunt reigns, our vote is irrelevant. Julia’s overseas detention centres idea is disgraceful but then Tony will be no better. So much for God and love thy neighbour. Where’s the basic human rights for asylum seekers? The lady is a tough cookie; knocks off Kevvy a second time and for good measure gets her entourage to add fuel to the fire followed later by a viral serve on family first virgins forever Tony. Assuming Malcolm isn’t in waiting to plunder, Tony has months to trot out a few policies as did Teddy here

in Victoria, quickly forgotten in favour of the blame game. Whatever, assuming these two stack up against each other come September Tony is a shoe in. It’s fun, and we all love it; the headlines that is. We don’t read on down. *** ARE we ever redeemed? Perhaps you don’t need redemption in the sense that you’ve done nothing wrong? Or you’ve forgotten? My horoscope compliments me daily via the Herald Sun. All good fun of course. No matter how hard we try do we ever overcome our base nature? Are our sins really ever forgiven? Hardly a month goes by I don’t think of something I’ve done that wasn’t right; a memory trigger of something stupid. The past is never the past; it remains; answering for our sins. The self-help crowd will say you have to forgive yourself. I forgive, but my inner voice doesn’t listen. *** THERE are people amongst us who become stressed if the driver of the car in front is wearing a hat or driving spot on the speed limit. Those same people shatter the speed limit after exiting roadworks. Are they related to those who become upset if Woolworths put easter eggs up for sale too early? Maybe they take peptides? *** THE three stooges, aka Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority

By Cliff Ellen

(ASADA), the Crime Commision and the AFL ... Would The Pope wear trackies while watching television? I could write a weekly column on the anti-smoking crew and doctored statistics but this paranoid approach to the point of near frenzy is best ignored; first rule of human nature - the more they get the more they want. Why must we suffer James Brayshaw as a cricket commentator; better than serepax? How come Mark Robinson, who never misses a chance to have a go Collingwood, never knew what was happening at his beloved Essendon? The AFL encouraging dobbers? Give it an hour before it’s on twitter. Does the Health Services Union operate a private slush fund? You betcha. Why would anyone live in Melbourne? They keep shoving those Swisse vitamins in my face; what is the big deal? Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained. [William Blake]....hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Jackson’s injury a mystery. Hedge fire in Frankston causes excitement. Compiled by Cameron McCullough From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 February 1913. AN important sale will be conducted by Mr W. A. Korner on Wednesday, 5th March, at Dromana, when he will sell the land, stock, implements, and household furniture of Mr Samuel Shergold, who is leaving the district. *** THE young man Jackson, who was so seriously injured some time ago while proceeding from Frankston to ‘Moondah’ on horseback is, we are pleased to state, making satisfactory progress towards recovery. The affair however is a complete mystery as Jackson, contrary to expectations, has no idea whatever as to what happened on that eventful day. *** THE Market Gardeners held their 30th annual picnic at Mornington on Wednesday. About 1800 came by the PS Weeroona and 800 by special train. A grand programme of sports was run through, and dancing was in full swing all the afternoon. The music was supplied by Reilly’s brass band. The weather was nice and cool, and many people of the surrounding districts journeyed to Mornington, there being altogether over 3000 people on the ground. The boat left at 5.30 and the train at 6.20. *** AN advertisement appears elsewhere of an “American Tea” to be given by Mrs C. Maxwell, at “Tally Ho.” on Wednesday afternoon next. The proceeds are in aid of the Vicarage Fund of St. Paul’s Church, Frankston. The public are invited, but everyone is expected to bring a gift, ready marked

for sale, and also buy a gift. There will be attractions in the shape of shootinggallery, nail driving, etc. Mrs Maxwell is kindly providing afternoon tea. *** ON Wednesday evening, 12th, the quarterly meeting of the Loyal Somer ville Lodge was held at the lodge rooms. After the business of the lodge was finished the room was open to the public and an address was delivered by Dr Griffith on the interesting topic of the miracles of modern medicine and surgery. An attentive audience listened with interest to the lecture which was followed by intelligent comment by several gentlemen present. Lectures of this nature are conducive to the harmony and popularity of the lodge and it is hoped that others will follow in the near future. *** FRANKSTON was again thrown into an state of excitement on Sunday evening last, when, for the third time within a month, the firebell was heard to ring. This time the outbreak proved to he in the park hedge, near Mr W. Richardson’s residence. Mr Richardson was the first to see the fire,

and he promptly rang the bell. In a few minutes the firemen, under Capt. McComb, were on the scene and it was their promtitude which stopped what may easily have been a serious fire. Axes were procured, and a gap cut in the hedge in the direction the fire was travelling, and when the gap was reached, branches were brought to bear, and the fire beaten out. In all about a chain of the hedge was destroyed. *** THE goods traffic is so increased on the Somerville line that the engine has occasionally to return for part of its load. *** THE Somerville tennis players ran up against a visiting town team that knew more about the game than themselves. Nevertheless, a very pleasint day was spent, the members of the local club providing refreshments. *** THE erection of the Somerville cooperative packing shed is proceeding rapidly and Mr Fred Murray is the amiable manager. *** THE chief steward on a White Star ocean liner is responsible for the statement that only one quarter as much liquor is sold to passengers on his ship nowadays as was sold ten years ago. From this it will be seen that King Alcohol is losing his empire on the sea as well as on the land. *** LARGE quantities of fruit are being despatched from Somerville to the oversea markets. The various consignments were for Hamburg, Copenhagen and other continental centres, besides

English ports. The crop of apples is heavy this season, and consequently larger quantities must be sent out of the State. *** WE regret to have to announce the death at Frankston, on Saturday last, of Mrs W. Staack, wife of Mr W. Staack, of Swan Street Richmond, from consumption. The deceased lady, who came from America about 15 years ago, was well known in Frankston. having been living here a number of years for the benefit of her health. Her husband, who is in business in Richmond, is also well known in Frankston and heartfelt sympathy is felt for him in his sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Monday, the body being interred in the Frankston cemetery. The Rev G. A. Kitchen officiated at the graveside. *** MASTER Edgar Thornell, who went up to the Continuation School some two years ago, has just achieved a great success in winning a scholarship which gives him a years schooling in a High School course of training at the training school, which is equal to three years study. We congratulate Master Edgar, and hope many more from the local State School may bring honor to their teacher and the township. *** A VERY pleasant gathering took place at the seaside residence of R. Sullick Esq., Melrose, Frankston, on the 16th inst. Mrs T. E. Andrew had prepared a banquet in honor of the new craft, Saucy Kate, which was successfully erected by Mrs W. Montgomerie, of Bendigo and Sellick, of Frankston and Richmond. Mr T. E. Andrew, of Ben-

digo, in a breezy little speech presented the above, on behalf of the residents of Arthur Street, with two very handsome Victorian Maltese Crosses with seals attached and bronze medallions, and also sealed address of merit signed by prominent citizens of Frankston. The presentation came as a great surprise to the recepients and they were too overcome to respond, and called Mr J. B Andrew, of Melbourne to respond on their behalf. Numerous apologies of absence were received from prominent citizens. The launching of the Saucy Kate was performed by Mrs T. E. Andrew, who in a neat little speech cut the cord and smashed a bottle of wine over the punt’s bows, and namedl her the Saucy Kate. There is no doubt that the Saucy Kate will be a decided acquisition to the craft now on the Kananook Creek. She will he berthed at the foot of Arthur Street for the present. The Victorian Crosses, medallions and sealed addresses will be on view at Brody and Mason’s for a few days. *** AT Sorrento Court before Messrs Cohen PM, Cane, Morgan, Cash and Macfarlane, J’s.P., George Murphy, of Portsea, was proceeded against for failing to have his child vaccinated. Defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined £2. Children’s Court: A boy 14 years of age, was proceed against by Const. Brennan for larceny of a gold watch and 8s in silver, from a bathing box on Back beach on the 21st of January last. Defendant pleaded guilty. Sentence was suspended for 3 months on defendant’s father giving an undertaking that he would be of good behaviour.

Baxter’s McComb bashes a quickfire 144 PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER opener Shane McComb smashed one of the best hundreds seen in MPCA Provincial cricket in some time on Saturday again Ballam Park. Batting for fewer than 30 overs, McComb belted 144 in a blistering knock that saw his team pass Ballam Park at the 20 over mark. While McComb was smashing the bowling at one end, Darren Uccello was holding up the other end, finishing the day unbeaten on 34. When McComb was out to Steven Burns and Leigh Paterson fell cheaply, Todd Quinn came to the crease and belted a quickfire 46. He remains unbeaten at the crease. Baxter finished the day batting 32 overs and will resume at 2/235 this Saturday.

Earlier, Sam Wolsgrove snared five wickets to help the reisgning pemier bowl out the Knights for 164 in 43 overs. Anthony Joel top scored for Ballam Park with 71, while Matty Roach hit 27. Sorrento has plenty of work to do in its match against Heatherhill after the Hills put together a more than respectable 260. Despite Sorrento star all-rounder Anthony Blackwell taking 5/88, the Hills top order was impressive, the openers, Dean Shaw and Jack Woods, putting on 134 for the opening stand. Shaw made 70 and Woods, in only his second Provicial First XI game, helped himself to 64. Randil Gamage was another new name to the First XI for the Hills and he managed to score 44, highlighting

that there is a bit of depth at the club. Mt Eliza may have only scored 175 in 71.3 overs on Saturday but it is still a good chance to pick-up a win against Crib Point. The Mounties have an extremely impressive bowling outfit and can quite easily defend this target. As it is, the Pies needed to face just three overs before stumps and they lost opener Matty Blake. The Pies will resume this week at 1/8. Earlier, its bowlers were able to do the job on the Mounties. Part-timer Henry Dolphin bowled 19 overs and was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers, snaring 4/23. His spell included 10 maidens. Luke Herrington also led from the front with 3/19. At one stage, the Mounties were

4/45, before Justin Grant (32), Matt O’Brien (33) and Lloyd Gourel-deSaint-Pern (33) resurrected things in the middle order. Long Island’s top order came out firing in its match against Rye at RJ Rowley Reserve. Paul Hartle (44), Aaron Paxton (51) and Justin Bridgeman (60) got the Islanders away to a flying start while Michael’s Chaplin and Burke also made solid contributions. A score of 8/252 is a good one on Rye’s home deck. Harrison Wilson was the pick of the Rye bowlers with 3/39 off 14 overs, while Tommy Barrand picked-up 2/38. Peninsula Old Boys will need to be at their absolute best with the ball this week to defend 208 against Moorooduc. The Ducs bowled extremely well,

led by Bobby Wilson who helped himself to 3/60, while Greg Pullen and Justin McCleary each snared two wickets. Callum Savio was the best of the POB batsmen with 39, Andrew Parsons scored 38 batting at eight and Wade Pelzer scored 37. At one stage, POB was in some trouble at 6/100, so 208 didn’t look so bad at the end of play. Mt Martha is in some strife against neighbor Mornington after being restricted to just 154 from 73.2 overs. Chris Holcombe saved the day once again for his side with the bat, scoring 63. Tim Moran (24) was the only other player to score more than 20. Luke Harper was the best of the Doggies bowlers with 3/54, while Matt Foon picked-up 2/7 from 13 overs.

Skipper tests injury and takes 4/46 DISTRICT By IT Gully HASTINGS was able to do what no other team has been able to do this season in MPCA District cricket – keep Langwarrin under a score of 200. The Blues were at their best with the ball, led by Scott Phillips, who took himself out of cotton wool and decided to test his back. The Blues skipper doesn’t bowl a lot these days. However, he knew that he had little choice against the best batting attack in the competition. His 4/46 from 22.1 overs helped the Blues to roll the league leaders for 166 in 74.1 overs. The evergreen Danny Weare held the innings together with 55, while Simon McEvoy was the next best scorer with 24. Luke Hewitt was at his best with the ball also for the Blues, snaring 3/22, while Isuru Dias had an enjoyable afternoon, picking-up 2/40 and taking two catches. It was a day for the bowlers in the Baden Powell versus Seaford game, 16 wickets falling on the first day after the Tigers won the toss and elected to bat. Julian Pharaoh, who has played A2 this season and has spent most of his time in the Second XI, was on fire

Bowled: Jake Prosser’s stump heads to the boundary after being bowled by Luke Hewitt from Hastings. Picture: Andrew Hurst

for the Braves on Saturday, taking a career-best 5/10 from nine overs. Anjula Perera and Josh Waldrom

each collected two wickets each to send Seaford packing for just 78 in 43.3 overs.

Chris Cleef top scored with 26 for the Seaford and Damien Lawrence was the next best with 11. However, the Braves batsmen couldn’t take advantage of the situation and at one stage were 5/44. They did recover to be 6/67 at the end of play. Mike Manders managed to pickup 4/37 from 15 overs while skipper Nathan Volpe bowled nine overs for a return of 2/12. Carrum holds the upper hand in its match against Main Ridge at Ditterich Reserve. Ed Aarons played a lone hand with the bat for the Ridge after they won the toss and batted. The keeper-batsman top scored with 82, while Gareth Wyatt hit 26 and Jordon McCulley 24. The next best score was ‘Extras’ with 20. Jackson Fry, Jeremy Graves and Lachlan Dobson each picked-up two wickets, while Daniel Polson had a tremendous impact in his 2.4 overs, collecting 3/7. In reply, the Lions are 2/49. Pines has been struggling in recent times but it brought its best to the table on Saturday against Boneo, scoring 9/283. Brett Hudgson top scored with 89 while Trav Pastuka with 58 and Ricky

Ramsdale with 35 also made more than solid contributions to the score for the Piners. Craig Williams and Alex Petrovic each picked-up two wickets for the visitors. Frankston YCW will be lucky to avoid an outright loss against Somerville this weekend. Somerville made its intentions well and truly known on Saturday, belting 8/380 in its 75 overs – that’s a massive score. Ben Delaney smacked 81, Sam Delaney creamed 63, Craig Black 43, Keith Burdett 40, Jack Kennedy 39 and Aaron Kaddatz 34 to help the Eagles to the monster total. Adam Muirhead bowled 11 overs for the Stonecats and picked-up 3/68, while Craig Burch took 2/151 rom 31 overs. Delacombe Park is in the box seat to beat Flinders after scoring 221. Chris Glendinning top scored with 58, while Simon Dignan, batting at eight, was the next best for the Parkers with 30. Lou Gillies was the pick of the bowlers for the Sharks with 4/42, while Dwayne Field helped himself to 3/77.

End-of-season scramble for top spots SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully WITH just two days left of home and away cricket in MPCA Sub District for the season, it’s going to be a made scramble to see who makes the top four. Pearcedale and Rosebud, who went head-to-head on Saturday, are two teams that are nestled in the top bracket. However, only one of them may still be there at the close of play this weekend. As the game sits at the moment, Pearcedale is in some serious trouble after being bowled out for 121.

PAGE 42

Scott Millar was absolutely sensational for the Budders, bowling a staggering 32 overs and finishing with the mighty impressive figures of 7/49, including 10 maidens. Brian Doughty was the only other wicket taker for Rosebud with an impressive 3/0 from six overs. Shayne Gillings was the only Pearcedale batsman to offer some resistance with 37. In reply, the Buds are 2/31, the dangerous Darren Kerr and Gregg McCann both back in the sheds, courtesy of Justin Heysham, who has 2/17 from five overs. French Island had a day fit for Kings on Saturday, scoring 8/386 against

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 20 February 2013

Dromana at Dromana Reserve. Ben King was the master with the bat for the Islanders with 134, while Jacob King fell nine short of his century, bowled by David Timmer for 91. Jed Savage was the best of the Dromana bowlers, opening the attack and collecting 4/120 off 20 overs. Timmer finished with 2/78. Balnarring has already beaten Seaford Tigers, despite only the first day being played. The Tigers won the toss and elected to bat. However, they were rolled for 88 in just 36 overs. Corey Hand top scored for the Tigers with 24, while Brad Arnold bowled 18

overs for Balnarring and snared 6/38. In reply, Balnarring is 3/89, having lost Luke Chapple for 25, Brenton Taylor for 32 and Brendan Saker for three. Red Hill again failed with the bat on Saturday against Carrum Downs but it will still win this game comfortably. The Hillmen managed 162 at Thompson Oval, Nick Esipoff top scoring with 36 and Owen McKillop and Matthew Merifield each getting 31. Ryan Lynch and Ash Worker picked-up 3/27 and 3/24 respectively for the Cougars, while Steven Worker and Chamara Perera each claimed two wickets.

Carrum Downs had to face the last 10 overs of the day and lost two wickets. They will resume in early trouble at 2/5. Tootgarook holds the upper hnd in its match against Tyabb. Expecting to win this match comfortably, the Yabbies lost the toss and were sent in by the Tooters. Other than skipper Luke Rus, who scored 61, it was a sad afternoon for the Yabbies, who were rolled for 150. Ashley Rickard was the best of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/24, while Matt Whelan claimed 3/29. In reply, the Tooters are in command at 2/60. Nathan Hudgson has both wickets for the Yabbies.

Good times are here and it’s all systems go ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro MARCH is around the corner and March and April are the best fishing months. The weather is usually calm and warm and all our target species are available along with a few ring-ins like elephant fish. All sea fishing options are firing – piers, rocks, boat, offshore and surf all produce the goods. Currently Port Phillip and Western Port are all producing whiting and squid in the shallows and in the deeper water there are a few gummy sharks and toothy sharks for those targeting them. Snapper remain quiet with the occasional fish still deciding to bite but to make up for the lack of snapper are some ripping flathead weighing more thna a kilogram coming from both bays. Also both bays and the surf beaches are playing host to some nice schools of Australian salmon and mullet, following these schools are a few sharks and dolphins. The number one tip for late February fishing is to fish for the fish that are about. There is no point in trying to bag a “big red” if the inshore reefs and weed beds are firing on whiting, pinkies and squid. It’s all about making the most of your recreational time. Matthew Hunt of Matthew Hunt fishing services (0419 760 510) landed some great tuna out of Portland on Sunday and a few South

Australian anglers are saying that there are so many tuna heading east it could be the best season in 30 years. Boating tip of the week: After every motor boat outing, flush out the engine. This doesn’t just apply to salt water trips but to fresh water as well. If the lake or river you operate on isn’t as clear as the water from your garden hose, you need to flush. If you run aground and kicked up sand, you need to flush. It won’t take long, two to five minutes, and during that time you can check out some other items. To flush the engine you will need a set of “rabbit ears” (two flexible rubber seals connected with a metal clamp). Simply slip this device on to the

lower unit where the water intake is located and attach a garden hose. Start up the engine and let the water pump do the rest. Be sure to stay clear of the prop and make sure no one tries to shift into gear. 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 2012-13.
