Patrol plea

FRANKSTON lifesavers are pleading for paid beach patrols during the week. Club president Tim Cutrona, pictured with Frankston Life Saving Club’s Shannon Degering, says he will write to Frankston Council to “get the ball rolling” on plans to hire professional lifesavers Monday to Friday. He is concerned lives could be lost when members are not on duty – and that paid patrols Monday to Friday, November to Easter, would ensure safety for beach users at all times. Frankston lifesavers only patrol on weekends. They fear there could be drownings on a weekday. See story, page 6. Picture: Gary Sissons

Planning crackdown action Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au PROPERTY developers have been put on notice by Frankston Council that breaches of planning permit conditions will no longer be tolerated. A council audit of developments after a statement of compliance had been issued found more than 97 per cent were effectively “non-compliant”. A statement of compliance is issued by council to ensure all conditions of a planning permit for a subdivision or

multi-unit development are met. At last month’s council meeting Cr Darrel Taylor said some developers get a planning permit then build without meeting the permit’s conditions. “If a developer or applicant wishes to change or amend the conditions on a permit while being under construction they can make an application – like some respectable developers do – to amend the permit as it is. Not just continue construction and build it and leave it,” he said. “Late last year I asked for an audit on a property in Yuille St and that came

state government reforms of councils’ responsibilities. Councillors voted to ensure 100 per cent of all property developments requiring a statement of compliance be audited for a 12-month trial period ending in January next year. “We should have been following this up for years and we haven’t been,” Cr Colin Hampton said. Cr Brian Cunial agreed. “It is absolute common sense … I don’t know why we [council] have not been doing this for a long time,” he said. Cr Glenn Aitken believed developers’

behaviour would change for the better “in six months after everyone has been targeted”. “I think it is quite appropriate that if council is spending time with all our departments screening these applications [without] enforcing it then there’s no point in doing it. We may as well have ‘Rafferty’s rules’ out there.” Cr James Dooley was the sole councillor to urge caution. “We are telling people Frankston is open for business … something like this could unintentionally financially destroy a builder,” he said.

Councillor’s silence on WorkCover probe Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Happier times: Frankston councillors Suzette Tayler, left, James Dooley, Rebekah Spelman, Darrel Taylor, Sandra Mayer, Brian Cunial, Glenn Aitken, Michael O’Reilly and Colin Hampton after the last council election in 2012.

FRANKSTON councillor Brian Cunial has declined the opportunity to deny allegations of “bullying” behaviour against council staff. The Times revealed last week that WorkCover was called in to investigate the alleged bullying of a staff member in 2013 (‘Council ‘bullying cover up”, The Times, 2/2/15). The Times understands the female employee’s WorkCover claim for paid leave for time off work was approved. When asked about Cr Cunial’s involvement in the WorkCover case, mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said “discussion of WorkCover matters is a serious breach of confidentiality and legislation”. Calls and email correspondence to Cr Cunial, both before and after the publication of last week’s article, have received no response. Cr Cunial, a serving member of Victoria Police, seems to have exercised his right to silence about the WorkCover investigation. The 54-year-old, Frankston mayor in 2012, dropped out of the race to win preselection as the Liberal Party candidate for Frankston early last year. He told The Times he wanted “to spend more time with the family” and ruled out running for state parliament “for the time being”. On the other side of politics, Labor’s initial candidate for Frankston, Helen Constas, was forced to step down in

Clash of the councillors A CLASH between two councillors at a council briefing four months ago has shed some light on complaints about some councillors’ behaviour in the wake of “bullying” claims between councillors at last month’s council meeting. Cr Michael O’Reilly said “longer term councillors get pretty nasty” if first-term councillors “disagree … not so much in the chamber but in briefings”. He said “intimidating behaviour” often occurs during briefings. “I’ve actually been in the situation where I’ve disagreed with Cr [Glenn] Aitken and the CEO has had to take the officers out of the room because he was screaming and swearing at me

that ‘I do not have a right to disagree with him because [he] has been on council 20 years’. “After he finished his tirade, he jumped up and stormed out still screaming.” Cr Aitken did not deny the confrontation took place when contacted by The Times and confirmed that CEO Dennis Hovenden removed council staff from the room at the time. “I was very loud. That was another instance of Michael O’Reilly putting me down saying ‘it’s just your opinion’ and he’s done that so many times,” Cr Aitken said. “I am articulate, I think issues through and I have a lot of experience.

“It’s always the CEO’s prerogative to clear the chamber. “I’m a gentle soul and have a very kind nature but I won’t stand garbage. “And if anyone wants to keep prodding at me in an unreasonable manner or constantly goads me with nonsense … they will get a reaction.” The mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said she could not comment on the specific incident since she was not mayor at the time. “There have been, and will continue to be, times when council staff are asked to step outside a room to allow councillors to have open and frank discussions,” she said.

Cr Brian Cunial

June last year after claims of a workplace bullying claim against her emerged. The Times understands bullying claims between councillors have been rife in recent months and councillors who lodge a complaint with mayor Cr Mayer are immediately slapped with a bullying counter claim by the subject of the initial complaint. Cr Mayer initially said there had been no official complaints of bullying brought to her attention by councillors, but “informal discussions” had occurred. The mayor subsequently said “councillors have expressed concerns around behaviour”. “I took their concerns seriously and held discussions with each, subsequently determining that there was no basis for a formal official complaint,” she said. Last week The Times asked Frankston Council how many councillors and council staff had made bullying claims in the past 12 months. Council refused to release the information.

Treasurer trying for main prize WHILE federal government MPs engage in flip-flop politics over who should be leading the country as prime minister, Seaford artist Tony Sowersby is concentrating his brand of satire on the Treasurer, Joe Hockey. One of Sowersby’s entries in this year’s Bald Archy Prize depicts a post-meal, dinner-suited Mr Hockey with a cigar and brandy balloon. But what stands out is that under the table, the seemingly well fed politician is also clutching a wooden club. Asked if he sees "Jovial Joe" as a contender, Sowersby replies: “No, not for the prime minister's job - don't be ridiculous - but for the Bald Archy prize.” Sowersby’s other entry for the prize portrays media commentator Andrew Bolt with an egg splattered over his front for his over-the-top accolades of Tony Abbott. “When the grateful Australian nation eventually erects a statue of Joe Hockey these words will appear on the base: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, And I will teach those leaning bludgers a lesson they’ll never forget. Sowersby gave “thanks” to Brian De Palma, Robert De Niro and the “Statue De Liberty” for inspiring his verse. Mr Hockey wields a baseball bat in Sowersby’s Bald Archy Prize entry in homage to director Brian De Palma’s 1987 The Untouchables movie featuring Robert De Niro as notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone. A professional artist for more than 30 years, Sowersby has won the People’s Choice for the Bald Archy Prize for satirical portraiture four times, including in 2014. In 2005 he won the prize with his portrait of George Pell and Tony Abbott entitled “The Cardinal with his Abbott”. Since the early 1980s Sowersby has worked in

Banking on climate change action A GLOBAL campaign to lobby banks to not invest in fossil fuels is coming to Frankston. Global Divestment Day, a movement to try to “weaken the political power of the fossil fuel industry”, will hold its first day of action on Saturday 14 February. The Frankston event, to be held at White St Mall, will be one of 300 around the world. The day has been organised by 350.org, “a grassroots movement to take on the fossil fuel industry and solve the climate crisis”. Frankston activists Claire Dawson and Alison Bennett are inviting Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents concerned about climate change to attend to show banks Australians want their investment in fossil fuel to end. “It’s for anyone who wants to use constructive means to combat climate change especially when the political process has happened so

slowly,” Ms Dawson said. “People are saying we can’t wait for the politicians so this is a way for consumers to adopt a more market-driven approach by saying ‘we’re going to move our money’ [if a bank invests in the fossil fuels industry]. “Large international banks have pulled out of proposed expansions such as Abbot Point [coal project] near the Great Barrier Reef ... but Australian banks are still quite happily talking about lending money.” The campaign has already had some success in the United States where the Rockefellers Brothers Fund announced this year it would withdraw its investments from fossil fuel. All are welcome to attend the Global Divestment Day at 9.30am on Saturday 14 February and can register at gofossilfree.org Neil Walker

Lifesavers call for more patrols Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Life Saving Club president Tim Cutrona says he will write to the council to “get the ball rolling” on paying lifesavers to man the popular beach on weekdays. Club members fear lives could be lost when they are not on duty – and that paid patrols Monday to Friday, November to Easter, would ensure safety for beach users at all times. Beaches all over Australia – mainly at tourist hot-spots – are already manned by professional life guards on weekdays. Lifesavers at Frankston patrol only on weekends and rescued 19 swimmers in trouble on Saturday 3 January. It’s a record they hope will not be broken. But Mr Cutrona says the same situation could easily arise midweek – with fatalities a distinct possibility. “Drownings can occur anytime – and not only on weekends when our members patrol at present,” he said. “If it had been a Tuesday I hate to think what could have happened.” He said only a minimal presence midweek was required. “Two people with a jet-ski and a board is all that’s needed. It would only cost around $22,000 a year each and that’s not a lot to keep the beach safe.” But a row over who should pay the lifesavers – either the state government or the council – has created an impasse. Mr Cutrona said the costs should be shared between the council and the state government. Frankston CEO Dennis Hovenden said “the responsibility sits with the state government”.

“We are happy to speak to the relevant state government minister about any issues that impact on the safety of our community.” It is understood Parks Victoria has jurisdiction up to the high water mark while the council has authority over the beach and land surrounding the clubhouse. This creates a conundrum as lifesavers treat as many beachgoers for cuts and heat exhaustion on land as they do swimmers in trouble in the water. “The council promotes Frankston as a beach city so we can’t see why they don’t help pay for beach safety,” Mr Cutrona said. “No one will want to do anything

until there is a fatality – and then they will all get involved.” He said the club had had had no formal response from the council. Mr Cutrona queried why previous risk assessments of the beach by Frankston Council had not included lifesavers in the study. “Life Saving Victoria should have conducted the assessments,” he said. “I don’t know how they were conducted without us.” He said the 300-member club had identified that members of the public were at risk on days when lifesavers were not patrolling. “We don’t care whose responsibility it is to provide the funding or the risk assessment,” he said. “We just want to do our job.”

Heroin ring smashed by police raid PRE-DAWN raids by police in Frankston and Seaford last week resulted in five people being arrested and charged in relation to a “significant� heroin trafficking enterprise. They have been charged with trafficking heroin and profiting from the proceeds of crime. Warrants were executed on houses in Frankston North, Seaford and Frankston on Wednesday at around 4am as a result of a long-term investigation. It is believed police used cameras to record the group’s activities during their investigations. An amount of cash was also seized. Twelve detectives from the crime investigation unit arrested Tien Le and Carmel McGarrigle, who have both been remanded in custody, and Sonia Vanderwall, Kathleen Kay and Louise Mitchell, who have been charged and released on bail. All are in their 40s. Leading Senior Constable Richard Thomson said evidence gathered earlier was crucial to the raid’s success. He said heroin recovered was probably destined for sale on local streets. Those released on bail will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 11 May. Dates for the other hearings are yet to be fixed. Stephen Taylor

Send in the clowns: From left, Tim Webster, Annette Davey, Vicki Page, Margueritte Flower and Adrian Jones hope to be on the move if enough funds to buy a Laughter Bus for the Humanitarian Clowns charity are raised. Picture: Gary Sissons

Laughter the best medicine THE humanitarian clowns bus is coming‌ hopefully. The charity group, which believes laughter is the best medicine to cheer up the ill and disadvantaged, is aiming to raise enough money to buy a Laughter Bus. Chief clown Tim Webster said he had been diagnosed with leukaemia at a young age and “received a lot of community supportâ€? and this is the inspiration behind setting up the Humanitarians Clown group, which was granted official charity status in July last year. The 33-year-old said he wants to “bring happiness to othersâ€?. He visited Africa and in “a life changing momentâ€? he saw some orphaned children playing cards and showed them a magic trick.

“They wanted to see more ‌ I went to get more magic tricks and I walked out and there were about 150 community members so that was where the Humanitarian Clowns first started. “It opened up doors and created a great environment.â€? After years of clowning around all over the world, putting on shows to promote happiness, he and his mother Margueritte Flower were invited to work with the US doctor and clown Patch Adams, portrayed by the late Robin Williams in the 1998 film of the same name, in Costa Rica. Pearcedale based Humanitarian Clowns has partnered with Peninsula Health to spread joy to local hospitals including The Mornington Centre for rehabilitation patients.

Tested and Proven by Generations of Professionals.

Now they hope to take their show on the road. The group is planning to add a “meals on wheelsâ€? service while travelling around Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula, Kingston, Cranbourne and Dandenong. “We’re hoping to get some welfare agencies on board the bus ‌ and provide food to the homeless and boarding houses ‌ we’ll have some music and instruments to make it a bit more fun,â€? Mr Webster said. The clowns will also visit youth groups to teach troubled youngsters circus tricks. See gofundme.com/laughterbus for donation details or call Tim Webster on 0430 562 887.

Power outages TWO power outages in central Frankston last Tuesday morning (3 February) plunged Bayside Shopping Centre into darkness and switched off traffic lights. The first blackout occurred at about 9.30am for about an hour and a second power outage hit the area at about midday, lasting about 40 minutes. United Energy said the first power failure was caused by “a third party who drilled into an underground cableâ€? and “the second outage that day ‌ was a device failureâ€?.

Fears over nurse cuts Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

Pride on display: Emily Harrison, Amy Burchell and Premier Daniel Andrews at Patterson River Secondary College’s Safe Schools Coalition Victoria program launch last Monday. Picture: Gary Sissons

‘Prouder, safer’ schools Premier priority PATTERSON River Secondary College staff and students are enthusiastic about the school’s role as one of 120 schools taking part in the Safe Schools Coalition Victoria program, which preaches tolerance and acceptance of gay students. Premier Daniel Andrews, Education Minister James Merlino, and Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny, visited the Seaford school on Monday - a day after Mr Andrews became the first premier to lead a gay pride parade in St Kilda. Schools will be “prouder and safer” and teachers will get the resources they need to help students “be who they are,” he told students. “Everyone has the right to feel safe at school.” Mr Andrews said the Safe Schools Coalition would “use the power of education to promote diversity and greater understanding in our schools and in our communities”. The program aims to create safe and sup-

portive classrooms for same-sex attracted and gender-diverse students at all government secondary schools. It will involve training 4000 staff to support more than 20,000 students. “We’re putting equality back on the agenda, and this program is about working with teachers to provide a respectful and safe environment where every young person can belong,” Mr Merlino said. Private and independent schools will also be encouraged to participate in the program, which is run by La Trobe University’s Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria. Patterson River’s assistant principal Daniel Dew said the school – which has 1150 students - promoted itself as being “safe and supportive” of same-sex attracted students. He said statistics relating to the incidence of assault and bullying of gay or lesbian students “were pretty horrifying” and often responsible for later incidents of self-harm and mental health issues. Stephen Taylor

provide nursing in people’s houses: that’s what it has always done, and will continue to do. “The only thing that has changed is that frontline staff are being assigned into new care teams focused on smaller geographic areas, and also the relocation of administrative functions to four new regional hubs.” A rival in-home-care company last week criticised the RDNS cuts, saying the need and demand for local offices was greater than ever “and for the RDNS to be putting technology ahead of patient health is a disgrace”. Prestige Inhome Care CEO Nick McDonald, which has offices in Mornington, said the level and availability of personal, face-to-face, quality interaction would be “drastically reduced as companies like RDNS try to further expand and adopt technology and forget about those they are servicing”. “The RDNS may argue that adopting technology and closing local offices is the way of the times and more efficient, but how do you explain this to the sick, elderly man or the young woman sick with cancer who looks forward to this personal interaction/care service in their home. “This could be the one thing that is helping to keep them alive.” The registered nurse and community care expert works in the same industry, but says he is “part of a growing movement towards in-home/ community care support for that personal, quality and reliable level of care”. “We are actually expanding our services and adding nurses and adding offices throughout Melbourne and Victoria as we genuinely value the care of our patients/clients over expensive expansion and technology innovations,” he said. “We are open to discussing taking on some of these nurses that have lost their jobs to ensure that patient care is not compromised and we can continue to provide such a vital community service. Just like we continue to put on new directors of nursing - not cut them.”

THE “biggest concern” for nurses hit by the Royal District Nursing Service’s proposed staff shakeup is the possible negative impact on patient care. The organisation last week announced it would close its Frankston offices in Beach St in April and likely close its Rosebud offices in Cairns St. They are among 14 suburban offices whose functions will be consolidated into four regional hubs – with the closest to Frankston and the peninsula being at Moorabbin. The revamp will result in six nurses losing their jobs at Rosebud as well as two admin staff and one domestic staffer. Six G3 nursing positions will be downgraded to G2. Frankston staff cuts are unknown. Nurses are also concerned they will be redeployed from specialist nursing roles into more generalised positions, on lesser wages, and into different geographical areas to which they currently work. They are unhappy their request that the RDNS maintain its workforce status quo “until we resolve all matters related to the proposed changes” was denied. But a RDNS spokeswoman said no frontline nursing staff would be affected by the relocation of administrative functions to the new regional hubs. Queries about staffing changes had been “communicated directly with service users, including a letter to all of our clients and a telephone hotline”. The spokeswoman said improved technological tools for home-visiting nurses would “enhance the high standard of care that our clients receive in their own homes.” She said it was incorrect to say RDNS offices were “being replaced by mobile teams equipped with laptops to make house calls”. “The service was set up 130 years ago to

LETTERS Difficult to prove Keith Platt (‘High priestess defends swami’s actions’, The Times 27/1/15) gives a very fair and well-balanced account of the problems currently besetting the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga in Mt Eliza and its spiritual guru Swami Shankarananda. Claims of sexual impropriety are often levelled against swamis and other holy men, here and in India. Usually these are difficult to verify and often they are not true. It is also the case that when the head of a major lineage dies or is replaced there is a succession struggle, because the larger lineages often control large material assets such as property and money, frequently donated by devotees. Vilasini Reukers in her letter (‘Guru the victim’) about the swami makes seven points in his defence. In the first of these she claims, “He is recognised as one of the greatest scholars of Kashmir Shaivism.” This seems very much exaggerated. In over 30 years of teaching Sanskrit and ancient Indian studies at La Trobe University I have never come across his name as author of any scholarly work on Kashmir Shaivism. No doubt he has read some of the relevant texts in translation, but he cannot be regarded as a scholar in this area. Nor can I think of what a high priestess would be, as Ms Reukers claims to be. This is not a position that is found in Hinduism. Dr Greg Bailey, La Trobe University

Marina concerns Mornington Peninsula Shire is about to amend the planning scheme (amendment C161) to allow the development of 180, mostly three-storey, resort-style tourist accommodation units at Yaringa marina, Somerville, plus conference facilities and 14 support staff accommodation units. When this was initially proposed I objected to the inclusion of tourist accommodation in the sensitive area in which Yaringa is situated. The marina plans will encroach on this area and these appear to have been well considered in terms of the effect on the environment. Marina development of necessity must be on the shoreline. However, there is little evidence that I can find of any consideration as to why the tourist units must be in the same area. Why could they not be located inland from the marina out of the sensitive coastal area? Two car spaces are provided for each unit plus guest parking, so it is expected that most tenants will have cars and, for those without, bikes or other means of transport to the marina could be provided. I can find no views in the documents of the expected appearance of these

units from Western Port. There is a statement that "they will generally be below the existing tree line and will not be visible from outside the site": generally is a worrying term. I can find no evidence of any consideration of the impact of the accommodation units on local fauna. While the marina is probably reasonably quiet at night, I imagine the accommodation area will be anything but quiet and the impact of cars, people, noise, rubbish and lights among other things will devastate the fauna of the area and impact the quiet and dark of the bay for those trying to enjoy it. One of the conditions imposed by the shire in initial considerations (as reflected in the council minutes of 22 July 2013) was "That there is an open public exhibition process and provision for independent consideration of submissions." I see little or no evidence of this occurring. The documents are on the shire website but there has been no discussion in the local newspapers or in [the shire’s newsletter] Peninsula Wide that I can locate. I received no informative response from the consultants, the federal minister or the council regarding my initial expression of concern and there is no evidence in the current plans or documents that it was even considered. I am aware of the final step to amend the planning permit only because I made a submission when the plans were first made public. I have until 16 February to make a submission with regard to this and will be pleased to hear from other concerned residents in order to ensure that this covers the issues as well as possible. Erica Churchill, Bittern

Rates cap welcome

The comments by Kris Bolam (‘Rate cap divides’, The Times, 3/2/15) are disappointing. The former Frankston mayor is either unaware or does not care that council rates, including Frankston which is one of the worst offenders, have risen out of all proportion over the past decade and continued increases are simply not sustainable. By any measure councils’ rate increases have been outrageous. For example, the rises in the past 10 years are three times more than CPI; twice the actual increase in costs incurred by the local government; three times more than the increase in wages; four times the increase in pensions; and the fourth highest of 40 household expenditures measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Both the previous Liberal and current Labor governments have indicated their concern with the disproportionate increase in council rates. When councils (and their peak body the Municipal Association of Victoria)

are warned they must live within their means, councillors and administrators react in a spurious and self-indulgent defence with little concern for their ratepayers. In 2006 the three tiers of government entered into an inter-governmental agreement which required that when a responsibility is devolved to local government, local government is consulted and the financial and other impacts are to be taken into account. The agreement expired in 2011 and councils only have themselves to blame if they have allowed cross charging by other tiers of government to occur and for the agreement not to be renegotiated. The new government is to be commended and the minister has the power under the Local Government Act, under which councils operate, to curb excessive rate increases imposed by unsympathetic councils. No longer will councils have a “bucket of cash” to spend every year and they will have to live within their means as do those who have fixed incomes, receive smaller increases in salaries and wages, or own businesses in the competitive environment. Alan Nelsen, president Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association

Port to proceed What a farce the Hastings Port project has become (and always was) from the point of view of anyone who thought such huge projects should be approved by the people who have to live with them and pay for them: the people of Victoria. We have a representative parliamentary democracy in name only. For many months before the election the ALP’s shadow ports minister Natalie Hutchens was a loud and committed opponent to this massive project. She even endured bullying during a public debate in Hastings. She appeared at meetings from Cowes to Geelong. People knew that a vote for the ALP was a vote for the massive new container port to be built elsewhere. They didn’t need to vote for a candidate standing on this single issue (me), although they should have done that and preferenced the ALP before the Liberals to make their opposition to this project clear. The greenie groups around Western Port, preening themselves in their moral vanity, absurdly declaring themselves “apolitical”, wearing special T-shirts and warbling feeble impersonations of Joni Mitchell, were not even being prepared to stiffen the spine of the ALP in its initial Hastings port opposition. These self-righteous ideologues could not see past even their group think personality politics to actually

do anything or support anyone even if that was their only real road to opposing the port. What did they do? Well of course they were actually political and voted for the Greens who had done a deal with Clive Palmer. That is where the Western Port Green vote went: to a coal miner. So the ALP was devious enough to not make Natalie the new ports minister. It has installed another chap who is not burdened personally with her anti-port rhetoric. He can now charge full steam ahead with the huge Hastings port development. He doesn’t really have to do much, just go into the Port of Hastings Development Authority’s propaganda office in High St and get the latest developments. Yes, it is still open and the cheerful girls are still there. And this time there is nothing any of you can do about it, unless you’re up for a spot of sabotage and 10 years in the slammer. And that wouldn’t make even a ripple upon the well-insured brave new waters of this splendid twin to the desal plant, the Hastings container port, both visible from here at Tortoise Head. Paul Madigan, French Island

Protection needed The Mornington Peninsula still has some remnants of natural or near natural environment. Sadly, these pockets of refuge for local fauna and flora (some of which are seriously endangered) are under constant threat. They should not be treated as a tradeable commodity by some developers for personal gain. The practice by developers to be able to buy some parcel of land, sometimes a long way away from the planned development, as an offset for the lost environment is not a sustainable way of keeping the few places of refuge on our peninsula. Sometimes it is even worse and the developer pays just a sum of money to council to be more or less let off responsibilities to look after the community’s interests. The Tootgarook wetland, Arthurs Seat gondola and the Yaringa harbour developments are just some of the examples of these precious pockets of nature under threat. We really can't afford to continuously nibble away at these refuges for our native flora and fauna, or the peninsula will end up like some of the places currently developed as the new suburbs of Melbourne, an ecological wasteland and future slum in our society. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Point to negotiate Preservation of the Quarantine Station precinct [at Point Nepean] is important. I was disappointed to see comments from Environment Minister Lisa Neville, which places the

precinct development at Point Nepean under immediate threat. The need for a limited commercial development on this site has been discussed for many years and has always been accepted as a sensible way to preserve this historic precinct for wider public enjoyment well into the future. It is worth noting that over 80 per cent of the buildings included in the lease [to the Point Leisure Group] are already locked away from the public and that this current proposal will open these buildings up to public use for the first time. Importantly, the long-term local benefits that will flow from this project are the direct employment of up to 400 people, as well as providing a much-needed boost for all Mornington Peninsula tourism operators. Tourism is our largest employer and our key economic driver and this proposal will directly improve the employment prospects of our young people for generations to come. I encourage Ms Neville to engage directly with the Point Leisure Group to discuss how the current lease, if necessary, could be revised while at the same time ensuring that we preserve the key benefits it was delivering to everyone on the peninsula and beyond. Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Dog problems The new signs regulating dogs on the on the foreshore between Tyrone and Blairgowrie look good, but obviously have a glaring omission. The word “optional” should have been included. At any time of the day dogs can been seen on the beach, mostly off leads and, to make matters worse, are often fouling the foreshore or beach with owners ignoring the end product and not picking up. A recent call to Mornington Peninsula Shire about this only frustrated the matter further as the response was ‘I think this is the responsibility of Parks Victoria’. Are these dog owners just too important to follow local laws and don’t care if the bay is further polluted? Name and address supplied, Rye

Help appreciated I wish to sincerely thank the person who drove my husband from Truemans Rd to the Rosebud police station on Tuesday 16 December, 2014. My husband has Alzheimer’s disease and had gone for a walk from his new home. We had been frantically looking for him for two and a half hours. I would love to thank the very caring person personally. Jean Thompson, Rosebud

Gatto’s mate gets ready to collect debts Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A DEBT collection firm with links to underworld identity Mick Gatto is setting up shop in Hastings. Gatto Corporate Solutions Pty Ltd, a debt purchasing company which buys debts then pursues creditors for the money owed, has leased office space in High St, opposite Hastings Library. Gatto’s surname is on the office window but the former boss of the notorious Carlton Crew is not a current co-owner of the business despite initially owning one third of its parent company Gatto Corp, via a private company, when it was formed in 2009. Gatto Corporate Solutions managing director Anthony Swords told The News he is the sole shareholder and “Mick’s my mentor”. He said the firm “does everything” in the building industry and horse racing industry. “Everyone thinks it’s just a debt collection office but it’s not. We set up companies as well, give business advice, do mediation and negotiations when people try to buy or start a business.” Mr Swords said he has signed a two-year lease for the “satellite office” for Gatto Corporate Solutions. The firm also has an office in Point Cook. Mr Swords said “cheap rent” and the Hastings location is appealing. “I’ve got a farm in Junction Village so I’m only 15 minutes away.

“It’s a good place to be … the shop there is pretty much what I was paying for my car park in the city.” He said Gatto Corporate Solutions has signed a two-year lease with further options at the Hastings, High St office and “a minimum” of three admin staff will be based there. “I run out of Lygon St – I have most of my meetings in Lygon St in Carlton,” Mr Swords said. The Hastings office also has the company name Victorian Racing Collections Pty Ltd emblazoned on its window. “That is primarily a debt collection agency,” Mr Swords said. “It’s all over Victoria but obviously there’s a lot of trainers out Western Port way and Cranbourne way so it’s just convenient to be out here.” The Gatto Corporate Solutions website states some outstanding debt cases “require more vigorous action”. When asked what this entailed, Mr Swords said it could include legal action. “It might mean you go to court … I have a couple of solicitors who work for me and everything we do is done legally but the way we work is we assign people’s debts so we take them on and they’re our own. So we collect them however we want.” The Hastings premises leased to Gatto Corporate Solutions will also be a base for fundraising volunteers for a charity called We Were Champions which saves racehorses from the knackery.

New tenant: Mick Gatto (inset right) associate Anthony Swords (inset left) of Gatto Corporate Solutions has leased an office, above, in Hastings. Inset picture supplied

We Were Champions was granted official charity status in 2013 and was established by Gatto Corporate Solutions. Mr Swords said since it had taken “over a month” to get the lease sorted out he “knew a bit” about

Hastings and is impressed with the Renew Hastings project which fills empty shopfronts with “pop-up shops” including spaces to exhibit artists’ works. “This could be a good chance for Hastings as well … some of the

things we do is help people set up their own business. “There’s a good future for Hastings with the port coming in. It’s just a nice little place.” Gatto Corporate Solutions will officially open for business next week.

New heights reached in search for gas

Gas search: The drilling rig West Telesto, left, was towed down Port Phillip last week en route to Western Port to be readied for work in Bass Strait. Above, the rig arrived in Melbourne aboard the semi-submerisble, MV Target. Pictures: Andrew Mackinnon

The West Telesto has quarters for 140 and deck area of 2845 square metres. While under tow by the tugs the rig’s speed was limited to four knots or less, well below the eight to nine knots that the MV Target could have

travelled on the way from Singapore. For the technically minded, the Telesto’s manufacturers say it “represents the latest generation of high efficiency jack-ups suitable for operations worldwide”. “The rig offers numerous improve-

ONCE offshore from Frankston on Tuesday, the Peninsula on the Bay building was the only man-made object that could challenge the height of a drilling rig being towed through Port Phillip to Western Port. The “legs” of the West Telesto soared 170 metres above the deck and attendant tugs, Skandi Atlantic, Go Capella and Keera. Destined to look for gas under Bass Strait, the self-elevating drilling unit was delivered to Port Phillip from Singapore the previous week by the semi-submersible heavy transport ship MV Target. The converted oil tanker is able to use its buoyancy tanks to lower and raise itself in the water to allow heavy cargoes, such as drilling platforms to be taken on board. Western Port harbourmaster Shane Vedamuttu said the drill rig would remain at the Anchorage off Phillip Island for up to four weeks before being towed to Bass Strait. Origin Energy, in a notification to shipping, said the rig would take two days to clear Port Phillip, eventually being taken to the Origin Energy Yolla gas platform. While in Western Port, the West Telesto’s legs will be lowered and pinned into position to stabilise the rig while it is fitted with supplies and equipment for the drilling works at the Yolla platform. The West Telesto is described as a self-elevating drilling unit designed for all-year, Central North Sea, harshenvironment operation in approximately 400 feet (122 metres) of water.

Christians oppose govt refugee policy Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au UNITING Church minister Cameron McAdam leans forward in his chair and grimaces: “What upsets me most about the asylum seeker issue is the morality and ethics of what the Australian government is doing to them. “Sure, it’s necessary to detain arrivals for health and security checks but I can’t believe we are locking them up in prisons, in places that look like concentration camps. Why are we holding children in detention? “There is now sufficient evidence to show the negative mental health effects of locking people up, and the potential future costs on our healthcare system.” Rev McAdam looks pensively out of the window of his office at The Village Uniting Church in Mt Eliza, across a well-tended garden behind the church complex in Canadian Bay Rd. “You can’t punish one person in an attempt to scare off other potential refugees.” The 44-year-old minister, who was appointed to the parish 10 months ago, says he is among a growing group of Christians of all denominations from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region pushing back against the federal government’s asylum seeker policies. He was one of five peninsula church leaders and an Amnesty International representative who protested outside federal MP Bruce Billson’s Frankston office in early December, leading to an

Advocate: Mt Eliza Uniting Church minister Cameron McAdam is among church leaders in the region pushing the government to soften its asylum seeker policies.

exchange of tetchy emails between Mr Billson and several protesters. With Rev McAdam that day were Jamie Edgerton, of New Peninsula Baptist Church in Mt Martha; Pastor Jim Catford of Mornington Church of Christ; Kevin Bain of Amnesty In-

ternational’s peninsula branch; Jean Woods; and Dr David Price, OAM, a member of St Mark’s Uniting Church in Mornington. Just days earlier the federal government made sweeping changes to the nation’s immigration laws after thenImmigration Minister Scott Morrison agreed to lift Australia’s refugee intake by 7500 places, gave asylum seekers on bridging visas the right to work, and agreed to remove all children in camps on Christmas Island, but not children in other camps such as Naura. On Friday it was revealed the government was spending $1.2 billion a year to house refugees in offshore detention centres with Nauru refugees costing $500,000 a year each. Last Thursday, Rev McAdam said the Love Makes a Way movement, a national Christian lobby group, was strongly represented in the peninsula and Frankston region. “Members are not radical Christians,” he said. More than 100 Christians late last year attended a day-long forum organised by Rev McAdam and the Mt Eliza Inter-Church Council (which includes the town’s two other churches, St James The Less Anglican and St Thomas Moore Catholic) at Mt Eliza’s Uniting Church. “A Just World” included talks by Rev Dr Gordon Preece and Sister Brigid Arthur, leading Christians opposed to asylum seeker policies, as well as Justice Debbie Mortimer, who spoke about international refugee law, Australia’s human rights obligations, and why people take risks to flee their own countries. “There were many people who

gained a new perspective on this worldwide problem,” Rev McAdam said. “Many changed their views for the better.” A second forum might be held this year, he said. The minister’s arguably radical views were formed growing up in a politically engaged family. A brother who is 17 years older brought home social justice issues from university, as did a sister and sister-in-law, both teachers, in later years. Rev McAdam was a member of St Aidan’s in North Balwyn as a young man and was influenced by social justice campaigners Val and Dick Urie. He first attended a Palm Sunday peace rally at age 18. He spent 10 years from age 33 as a minister in Camperdown in western Victoria where he was also chaplain of the state secondary school. “The Uniting Church has always had a strong focus on social justice issues.” He came to the ministry relatively late in life. After school at Scotch College he worked in sales but at 19 wanted to be a social worker. He had various sales jobs and applied to become a minister at 24, becoming a private theology student until selected by the church as a ministry candidate at 28. Then followed three years of study, a one-year Diploma of Education, and placements at churches in the eastern suburbs. Camperdown was his first church. Rev McAdam and his wife Georgie have three young children, all born in Camperdown. The minister hands over several sheets of paper that contain mindboggling statistics about the world’s

refugee problem. There are more than 50 million refugees with 11.7 million at highest risk, according to the United Nations refugee agency. In 2012, only 88,000 were resettled. Australia took 6.7 per cent (United States took 74 per cent, Canada 11 per cent). Australia’s overall intake in 2013 was 34,500, 48th in the world for number of refugees hosted but 74th measured against economic wealth. Rev McAdam publicly entered the refugee debate after the Rudd Labor government hardened asylum seeker rules in mid-2013 when it announced arrivals would not be settled in Australia, and that offshore detention centres closed in 2008 would be reopened, including Naura and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. His public stance has made some members of his congregation uncomfortable but he tells them: “I’m critical of both Labor and Coalition governments. “Just because the current government thinks its refugee policies are vote winners doesn’t make them right.” Rev McAdam said it had never been right to detain children. “We are keeping children and their families locked in these places, many living in limbo, unsure of their futures. “The government must immediately release all children from detention, close all offshore detention centres, and introduce a fairer and more reasonable policy approach including a regional solution in the future. “The only difference between asylum seekers and me is where we were born. I was lucky enough to be born in Australia.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Hastings railway works in full swing Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE appointment of Mr C.W. Grant, of Mornington Junction as a J.P. has been gazetted. *** Mr J. Hall, storekeeper at Seymour, visited Frankston last weekend and purchased a building allotment in this locality. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason held their usual monthly market at Somerville on Wednesday last, when there was a fair yarding. *** MR E. Quiggin, one of Shepparton’s leading ironmongers, is at present spending a few weeks holiday at Frankston House. *** THE Shire of Frankston and Hastings are calling for tenders in this issue, returnable on Wednesday next, for sheeting, etc on Cranbourne road. Tenders are to be addressed to Cr W. J. Oates, Frankston. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their next fortnightly produce sale at Frankston Mart on the 24th inst (not the 17th), on account of the firm holding a clearing sale of furniture on the latter date. *** INTENDING competitors at the Flinders Naval Base Sport, which take place on the 6th March, are notified that nominations close on Monday, 22nd February, and acceptances on the 2nd of March. ***

HOUSEHOLDERS residing within the garbage area of Frankston are notified that they must provide proper lids to all garbage tins. Failing to do so the contractor for removal of same will be instructed to report same. *** MOTOR Garage Pty. Ltd. has opened a branch garage at Mornington and installed two cars therein. The garage is in charge of Mr. W Bradbury, an expert mechanic and driver, late of Nagambie. *** THE Moorooduc Progress Association intend celebrating the opening of their new building on Wednesday, 7th April, by holding a sale of gifts, at which patrons and friends are cordially invited to be present. The fete will open at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. *** YOUNG men wishing to learn rifle shooting are requested to attend a public meeting in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening next, called at the instance of the Frankston Rifle Club, when addresses will he given by several gentlemen interested in the movement. *** THE following local candidates were successful at the Commonwealth public service examination held on 9th January for the appointment of telegraph messengers:— Mornington —Albert Coxhall, 364 marks: Clyde J. H. Byles, 301. Alexander C. Hutchins, 225. Sorrento — Morris L. Copoloy, 292 marks: Alfred R. Eldred, 241. ***

MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a large clearing sale of superior house hold furniture and effects on Wednesday next, on the premises, corner of Fiocchi Avenue and Melbourne road, by order of Mrs Crockett, who is leaving the district, consisting of the whole of her superior furnishings, being the contents of a 10 roomed villa. The sale will commence at 2 o’clock sharp. *** THE prize list of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association for their forthcoming show, which takes place on 10th March, will be published in our next issue. The committee have met with generous support from the general public and the donations given this year are quite equal to any previously given. At the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings council a motion was carried to invite the State Governor to open the Show, and if His Excellency decides to accept the invitation it will doubtless mean a large influx in the number at those who attend. *** THE Treasurer of the Frankston Patriotic Fund desires to acknowledge a donation of £9 2s 1d from the Frankston Campers’ New Year’s Eve Carnival, through Mr C. P. Watson, the manager of the State Savings Bank. The result is very gratifying. The carnival, of which we gave a full report at the time, was entertaining and amusing and served besides to keep the more volatile individuals away from the mischief which has been done on some New Year’s Eves in the past.

The amount has been earmarked for the Belgian Relief Fund. *** ON February 6th the Toxteth Concert Co, headed by Mr George Cowley, the well known singer, gave a successful concert in the Carrum Hall. The entertainment was up to the usual quality given by this company, encores being the order of the evening. Miss McNair and Miss Edith Thomas acted ‘My lady’s diamonds’ in a brisk manner, which highly amused the audience. The Toxteth glee party gave several party songs and proved a harmonious item. Mr Percy Conroy was the humorist and proved a capable one. Miss Mabel Down, a young composer, played several piano duets, and was an efficient accompanist. Mr George Cowley, one of Melbourne’s foremost singers, sang in his usual artistic style. This singer has one of the best voices heard in this district, and was accorded a hearty reception. Miss Edith Thomas recited with feeling and is an actress of no mean order. The sketch given at the end by Mr Geoffrey Fayle and Miss Kitty Gordon produced roars of laughter. ‘All for a sister’ was the name of the sketch. The acting of these two artists was realistic and clever, for in sketch work they reach a high standard, being comedy actors of repute. Mr Arthur Shaw, a dramatic baritone, gave several solos in fine style, having good tone and quality in his voice. The Toxteth Concert Coy. will

appear in Frankston and Mornington in March. *** THE work of improvement at the Hastings railway station, is now in full progress, and when completed the accommodation for the public and the station staff will be more than doubled. A lamp and oil shed has been erected and the station master will have a separate exit from his office to the platform. These great improvements have been brought about solely by the persistent efforts of the Westernport Progress Association, continued through a period of two years. *** ORCHARDISTS are now busy pick ing and despatching fruit to Melbourne where there is a good demand and high prices for fruit, and as there are good crops this season will be a prosperous one for fruit growers. The bi-weekly produce market established by Messrs Brody and Mason at Frankston has so far proved a decided benefit to fruit and vegetable growers. *** MR Anderson, who was head master at the Mornington Junction State school for many years, has been transferred to Northcote. His place is being filled temporarily by Miss Brennan. *** THE hot and dry weather experienced lately has had a bad effect on the roads, which are now covered with dust and loose metal. A good fall of rain would remedy this to a great extent. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 February, 1915.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A long day’s journey Into Knight By Stuart McCullough AT first, I couldn’t believe my ears. But after hours of interrogation and a polygraph test, I now accept that they were telling the truth. Prince Philip has, indeed, been awarded a knighthood. Like most people, my first response was to say ‘about time’. It’s only right that someone who doesn’t live here should be bestowed our highest honour. My only concern is that it doesn’t go far enough. Were it up to me, Prince Phil would top the Hottest One Hundred, win the Brownlow and take out first place in the Moomba Birdman Rally. Then it struck me; for mere mortals a knighthood is quite an honour. But if you’re already a prince, isn’t a knighthood kind of a demotion? Here’s my thinking. In chess, the King outranks everyone, including a knight. Although there’s no Prince, I think it’s fair to assume that in the pecking order of life, being the Queen’s ‘plus one’ gets you a better table at the local Indian restaurant and take away joint than having ‘Sir’ slapped onto your name like a dodgy extension built without approval from the local Council. This could well be the most spectacular ‘up yours’ in living memory. It’s hard to imagine a greater insult to the Queen than to take her husband down a couple of notches. The cruelty doesn’t stop there, either. Spare a moment for what poor Phil has to endure in order to receive the honour. First of all, you can’t tell me that this doesn’t give the Queen an extraordinary amount of leverage when discussion turns to who should

take the recycling out on bin night. At the first sign of hesitation, all Liz has to do is casually suggest that – just maybe – somebody’s not that interested in becoming a knight after all. As he trudges down the stairs, empty milk containers and empty dog food cans piled up under each arm, the Prince will surely curse our nation.

There are other problems too. Take a moment to imagine the day itself. Prince Philip has to get down on bended knee in front of his wife. It used to be that knights would be anointed using a sword but, these days, I believe that for safety reasons the Monarch uses a laser pointer. After the deed is done, his wife will then call upon him

to ‘arise, sir knight’. At age 93, being asked to get down on your knees and get up again in quick time is an act of unprecedented malice. But that’s the least of Phil’s problems. I know for a fact that, on Tuesday nights, Prince Philip is part of a Trivia team at the local pub that competes for half price drinks and a family sized meat tray. The team, presently going under the name ‘The Buckingham Brainiacs’ currently sit third after eight weeks. His teammates – Clever Trevor, ‘Stinky’ Lou and Denis ‘the Disco Pistol’ Bosustow – are destined to give him all kinds of grief. Every chance they get, they’ll be slipping LuLu’s ‘To Sir With Love’ on the jukebox. It will be one of those pranks that only becomes funnier with repetition. It will be the darkest period of his life since ‘My Name is Prince’ was first released. Then there’s the paperwork. Suddenly, his driver’s license, passport and Blockbuster membership card are all totally out of date. He’ll need to get his new name on the utility bills if he every wants to rent a DVD again. For the next few weeks and until this mess is sorted out, there’ll be no more new releases with a take away caprociosa and a six pack on Friday nights like there used to be. Instead, he and the missus will be stuck with watching repeats of ‘A Touch of Frost’, eating tuna from a can and sucking down on a soda stream like the rest of us. I feel foolish – I hadn’t realized we were giving away titles to foreigners. It is, quite obviously, a wonder-

ful thing. This means that Britney Spears can now receive the damehood she so richly deserves. Perhaps being knighted can be given away as a prize for whoever is left standing in ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’. Or as a door prize for the studio audience of ‘Hotseat’. That said, do we really need to limit ourselves to knights and dames? Surely there are other quality titles we can bestow. Like ‘Dude’, ‘Thorpedo’ or ‘The Fonz’. Personally, were it up to me, I’d like to bestow the title of ‘Residential / Light Commercial with a Drainage Easement’. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t impress the grandkids. But for Phil, it’s the worst kind of gift. One the recipient didn’t ask for, doesn’t need and for which he has absolutely no use. We can only hope that he tried to look happy when he heard the big news. That said, if it doesn’t end up in the shed along with his old tennis racket, the busted BMX and board games that have crucial pieces missing, it will probably be re-gifted. Before you know it, Prince Phil will have passed his knighthood on to Clever Trevor, ‘Stinky’ Lou or Denis ‘the Disco Pistol’ Bosustow. Or, worse still, he might pass it on to another member of his family. Who knows where the thing might end up? Perhaps we can all learn something from the experience. Next time the idea of knighting someone else’s royal family comes up, the answer will be simple. It will be: no sir. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

TRUE LEGEND By Simon Burke SUZI Quatro returns down under for the last time this month after 50 years performing at the highest level. The legendary singersongwriter/ bass player has toured Australia no less than 30 times and is now prepared for an emotional farewell. Her sold out show at the Frankston Arts Centre promises to bring plenty of tears, laughter and rock ‘n roll with Suzi bringing her best game to the stage. It was this A game that caught the attention of famed record producer Mickie Most who offered her a solo contract in 1969. She then went to the UK, sold 55 million records and had a string of hits such as Can The Can, 48 Crash, Too Big, Devil Gate Drive and much more. You may also remember her from Happy Days playing Fonzi’s girlfriend Leather Tuscadero along with parts in other TV shows such as Absolutely Fabulous and Midsomer Murders. Tickets are sold out but you can register to standby for cancellations on the Frankston Arts Centre box office hotline.

WE LOVE URIAH, HEEPS By Simon Burke

GET ready to welcome back to Australia one of the biggest rock bands of the 1970s on March 22 as Uriah Heep perform live at the Chelsea Heights hotel. Once known as one of ‘The Big Four’ alongside Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, the British rock group have been tearing up the music scene for over 45 years with their unique, progressive, hard sound. Uriah Heep have been a mainstay of the rock circuit for four decades, famed for their accomplished musical talents, diverse song writing and powerful live performances. It is for this reason that Australian audiences have taken them into their hard rocking hearts with the band scoring consecutive charting albums and singles in the country. What’s more, in 2003 Uriah Heep enlisted the vocal talents of none other than Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes on the ‘Relentless’ album, thus cementing their affinity to this country. Original member and lead guitarist Mick Box still helms this incredible outfit and played a part in all 23 studio albums that includes Demons and Wizards (1972), Abominog (1982), and their most recent release, 2011’s Into The Wild. Their 40 million record sales worldwide speaks for itself. The band have retained a cult following and a ‘never say die’ spirit during constant upheaval throughout their history and their performance at the 2013 Download Festival in the UK was hailed as the highlight of the weekend. If the history of Uriah Heep proves anything, it is that the band will endure, with their diary for the foreseeable future as full as ever. So, be quick to get your tickets to Uriah Heep, at the Chelsea Heights Hotel,Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd Chelsea Heights, March 22, as the groups last tour of Australia in 2011 resulted in sell out shows. Ticket information at chelseaheightshotel.com.au.

Great day for Prossers PROVINCIAL By IT Gully Pines dealt Mt Eliza a further blow on Saturday when it taught it a cricket lesson in MPCA Provincial. And it was career defining for one Pines player who has always offered so much – Jake Prosser. After taking five wickets the week before with the ball, Prosser walked out and clubbed his maiden century, eventually falling for 114. Prosser shared a 100 plus partnership with his skipper Ricky Ramsdale, who made 103. The Piners smashed Mt Eliza to all parts of the ground and easily covered its total of 186. Pines was eventually

bowled out in the 81st over for 344. Harley Peace-Stirling also contributed 40 to the total. Tom Ewing was the pick of the Mt Eliza bowlers, snaring 3/72. The Mounties are now third bottom on the ladder, a game behind Pines and Rye, who themselves have struggled this season. The end of the year can’t come quick enough for Mt Eliza. Further down the highway at Moorooduc, Jake Prosser’s younger brother Matt was creating some records of his own for Langwarrin. Matt Prosser top scored for his side last week against the Ducs with 66 and on Saturday, with ball in hand, he tweaked himself 5/62 to give him his

best figures in First XI cricket. Langwarrin recorded an easy victory over the Ducs, bowling them out for 179 in reply to their own 7/274. Ross Cordeaux top scored for Moorooduc with 47. Adrian Mack and Dwayne Doig each collected two wickets for the Kangas. Crib Point put themselves back into finals calculations after recording an outright win against Heatherhill. The Magpies recorded their second outright win of the season, having them again knocking on the door of the top four. The Pies rolled the Hills for 138 and 87 with Brad Davidson taking nine wickets for the match. Mornington maintained its pres-

sure on the top four and in doing so knocked Baxter off the top of the ladder. The Doggies are still not inside the top four but are just half a game from top spot. On Saturday, chasing 152 for victory, the Dogs got there with four wickets in hand. Ben Clements top scored for the Dogs with 43 while Brad McDonald was next best with 42. Dale Irving was at his best with the ball for Baxter with 5/31 from 21 overs but it still wasn’t good enough to hand his side victory. Peninsula Old Boys did all it needed to to get the 12 points against Rye and claim top spot on the ladder.

Resuming on the second day at 2/34, the Old Boys managed to get to 3/144 before sending Rye back in in a quest for outright victory. Rye finished with 1/56 before stumps were drawn. Long Island maestro Scott Phillips was at it again on Saturday, this time bowling his side to victory against Sorrento. After top scoring with the bat last week with an unbeaten 73, he took the new ball on Saturday and pickedup 6/49 to help his side bowl out the Sorras for 171. It gave the Islanders a 100-run victory.

Still a tight race in District DISTRICT By IT Gully THE log jam at the top of the MPCA District ladder continues after round nine was completed on Saturday. Main Ridge kept is finals hopes well and truly alive after recording a wonderful and commanding victory against the previously undefeated Red Hill. Skipper Brad Rossborough was magnificent in his side’s victory, beginning the day unbeaten on 32 and still standing at the end, still unbeaten on 180. Main Ridge made 6/303 to beat the Hillmen by almost 200 runs. Somerville resumed at 3/17 on Saturday against Carrum, chasing 122 for victory, however, Justin Allsop and Aaron Kaddatz put a stop to any fairytale victory for the Lions. Allsop was superb for his 91 and Kaddatz provided the much needed support late in the day to make a timely 27 and ensure his side pushed past the Lions’ score. Somerville was all out for 172. Lachy Dobson and Jackson Fry each picked up three wickets for Carrum. Mt Martha finished Seaford Tigers’ season and in doing so maintained its own position in the top four. After setting the Tigers 228 for victory last week, the Reds were able to roll the home side for 177. Corey Hand is the backbone of the Tigers and he did his bit again on Saturday with a top score of 39, while Ash Mills hit 30. There is still a glimmer of hope for Seaford in their quest for finals after successfully defending 9/274 against Delacombe Park. Seaford rolled the Parkers for 161, Paul Hartle back to some of his best with 4/45 and Aaron Peebles picking up 3/56. John Spencer top scored for the Parker with 54. Baden Powell recorded a comfortable victory over Boneo. Chasing 156 for victory, the Braves made 222 with Elia Carter top scoring with 97. Rhys Elmi also was among the runs with 64. In the final game, Hastings was well beaten by Flinders. The Blues were bowled out for just 63 in their chase of 194 for victory. Matt Foy top scored for the Blues with 25, while Blake Hogan-Keogh was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 4/10, giving him 16 wickets for the season.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Stonecats back in Stars come SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully Frankston YCW has jumped back into the MPCA Sub District top four and given itself some breathing space after picking up an outright win against Ballam Park. The Stonecats only made 123 in reply to Ballam Park’s first innings score of 58 on the first day of the match last week. However they went into Saturday staring at the outright win. The Knights resumed at 4/34, still 31 behind with six wickets in hand. They finished with 165, giving the Stonecats plenty of work to do. John Plakourakis top scored for the Knights with 79. Andrew Kitson finished with 11 wickets for the match after picking up six in the first innings and five in the second dig.

Needing just over 100 runs to claim an outright, the Stonecats got there with three wickets in hand. Things looked grim when they slumped to 6/65. However Kitson and Luke Hutchison got them over the line with some solid batting. Tootgarook had no problems defending its 9/315 against Dromana. The Frogs bowled out the Hoppers for 140 before sending them back in immediately in the hope of getting an outright win. The Hoppers hung on to finish at 3/35. Corey DeBruyn was the best of Tootgarook’s bowlers with 4/51 while Zac Stevenson claimed 3/28. Pearcedale got the job done against Carrum Downs and in doing so remained on top of the ladder. The win also knocked the Cougars outside of the top four. Resuming at 1/40, chasing Carrum Downs’ 105, the Panthers declared at

7/169 before having another crack at the visitors. Brad Trotter top scored for the Panthers with 50. The Cougars finished the day at 7/105 and avoided the outright loss. Chris Dew snared 5/27 in the second innings. Rosebud made light work of Balnarring and finished their season. Chasing just 117 for victory, the Buds resumed at 1/16 and cruised all afternoon to finish with 7/169. Tyabb went for the outright victory against Skye after making 8/299 in their first innings. Skye was bowled out for just 55 in their first innings with Tyabb century maker Brodie Bennett claiming 3/8 and Jack Doman picking up 3/13 in his third senior match. Skye hung on in their second innings, crawling to 1/49 before the match was called.

together COUNTRY WEEK By IT Gully MATT Foon will lead the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association in the Country Week Provincial squad at the championships that kick off this week around Victoria. There are some new faces in the squad adding to the ones we have been used to seeing over the journey, which speaks volumes about the strength and depth of the competition. Peninsula Old Boys star Matt Hyden was an obvious choice after accumulating plenty of runs this season. The competition’s best player, Scott Phillips, who has 400 runs this season and 38 wickets, will not play for the MPCA. Neither will Nick Jewell, who has 337 runs this season. Crib Point bowling dynamo Brad Davidson has been rewarded for a fine season and 33 wickets with a call-up, while Lachy Dobson from Carrum has also been included in the team. Andrew ‘AJ’ King is an obvious starter after claiming 31 wickets this season.

Corey Harris and Ben Clements have 396 and 395 runs respectively this season and they are in the team, as is Shaun Foster from Carrum, who has been named vice captain. Rob Hearn is the other Magpie in the team. Langwarrin’s Andy Johnson is in the team. He has had a very consistent season with 362 runs and will be a foil for opposition in the middle order. Country Week veterans Wade Pelzer, Luke Popov, Bobby Wilson and Justin Bridgeman makeup the rest of the star-studded squad. The Development Squad is also packed with some in-form players. POB’s Jon Forest will lead the young team, which includes Liam O’Connor (Sorrento), Spencer Byatt (Boneo), David Eaton (Crib Point), Jackson Fry (Carrum), Luke Hewitt (Hastings), Damien Lawrence (Seaford), Brent Martin (Red Hill), Aaron Paxton (Long Island), Leigh Poholke (Sorrento), Brad Trotter (Pearcedale), Nick Wilcox (Pines), Dylan O’Malley (POB), Adam Gailitis (POB), Matt Davie (Langwarrin).

the All-new

HONDA’S highly-anticipated, all-new HR-V has arrived at Peninsula Honda. “The all-new HR-V is a very important model,” said Peninsula Honda’s General Sales Manager, Ben Edmonds. “The HR-V will be positioned below the CR-V and complement our SUV line-up by offering versatility and practicality along with new safety technology, loads of features and of course a sporty, dynamic drive. We know consumers want more choice and we will offer that choice in the all-new HRV, right into one of Australia’s fastest growing segments.” Built on the new Jazz platform, the HR-V will be powered by a 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine, delivering 105 kilowatts and 172 Newton metres of torque. Fuel economy will range between 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres (combined urban/ extra urban) and 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres (combined urban/extra urban). The HR-V’s unique exterior design features sharp, dynamic lines that link the sleek upper body with the stable and planted lower body. This sporty exterior does not compromise the HR-V’s spacious interior, which features Honda’s unique Magic Seats that are also found in the Jazz and Civic hatch range. The Magic

Seats enable a wide range of configurations – 18 in fact – along with the ability to fold the second row seats completely flat for added cargo space, fitting almost any lifestyle and life-stage. The all-new HR-V will also feature new safety technology – and a first for Honda – called CityBrake Active. City-Brake Active works at low speed and can assist the driver when a vehicle in front stops suddenly, using a sensor located in the rearview mirror. The system provides an audible warning and can also apply braking. Honda’s advanced touch screen Display Audio system is also a feature of the all-new HR-V. Found in the Odyssey, City and Jazz, the system includes voice-activated Bluetooth capability (Apple and Android) and audio streaming, meaning you never have to take your eyes off the road to stay connected. “With a starting price of $27,990 on road, the HR-V is incredible value,” said Mr Edmonds. “We are confident this vehicle will be well placed to battle it out in this highly competitive segment.” To test drive the Honda HR-V, visit Peninsula Honda at 907 Nepean Highway, Mornington or call them on (03) 5975 9755.
