Brothels busted by council Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council wants to get out of the brothel busting business amid an apparent rise in massage parlours illegally offering extra services.

Council paid investigators in the past few months have caught staff at five massage parlours across Mentone and Chelsea offering services, collo-

quially known as “happy endings”, in addition to massages.

Unlicenced services offered at the establishments contravene the Sex Work Act and Kingston Planning Scheme.

Kingston mayor Cr David Eden wrote to Victorian Police Minister Lisa Neville in August to flag “an increasing number of illegal brothels establishing in our municipality”.

“Over recent months council has

investigated a number of businesses purporting to offer lawful massage services only to discover that businesses are operating as illegal brothels in locations that are proximate to homes, shops, schools and churches,” Cr Eden said in the letter.

The mayor has urged the Minister to have Victoria Police lead investigations into suspected illegal brothels since it costs ratepayers about $3000 for each investigation and there is

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

“potential that the parties involved in conducting these illegal activities may also be involved in other and, potentially, even more serious criminal activity that may be known to commonwealth or state police”.

Kingston Council will ask councils from across the state meeting at the annual Municipal Association of Victoria, held on 18 October, to back its motion to have the state government take on the investigation of illegal brothels.

Council planning and development general manager Jonathan Guttmann said courts had so far declared four of the five massage parlours recently investigated were illegal brothels.

“Council is currently investigating another five suspected illegal brothels in the municipality,” he said.

Inspections are carried out by independent investigators hired by council at ratepayers’ expense.

Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to begin preparing for the summer ahead.

It’s particularly important this year, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a long and hot summer.

So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe.

You can also find out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au.

Planning and preparing for fire is everyone’s responsibility. Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

Thankfully, our dedicated emergency services are working together with communities, businesses, local councils and residents to reduce the risk for our state.

At the same time, it’s important that each of us understands our own fire risks.

And remember, you don’t need to live in regional Victoria to be in danger. Fires can occur anywhere.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria

FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE It’s your responsibility to be ready this summer.

Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now.

The reasons are black and white.

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days.

2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass.

3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home.

4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees.

5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres.

6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to).

7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

Shouting to the top

Nurses, carers take action on pay dispute

TOUGH, pushy, passionate but desperate to be loved, Johnny O’Keefe fought his way to the top in the 1950s to become Australia’s first international star of rock and roll.

When Australia was a provincial outpost of America, when Bill Haley and Elvis Presley were everyone’s heroes, Australia’s larger-than-life rock’n’ roller spectacularly burst into the limelight and blazed a glittering trail of popular tunes and adoring fans to capture a generation who called him “The Wild One”.

MLOC productions are retelling O’Keefe’s story in SHOUT: The Legend of The Wild One – a celebration of the life of his life, legacy and enormous impact on the Australian music industry.

Starring Matt Jakowenko as Johnny O’Keefe, singing hits including Shout!, Wild One, She’s My Baby, I’m Gonna Knock On Your Door, Move Baby Move, Purple People Eater, Sing Sing Sing and many more. n SHOUT: The Legend of The Wild One explodes onto the stage from 13-21 October at the Shirley Burke Theatre, 64 Parkers Rd, Parkdale.

Tickets available online at mloc.org. au/shout or by calling 9551 7514.

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au NURSES and carers in Kingston are taking industrial action over pay and conditions at BUPA aged care homes.

A stop work meeting and community barbecue to highlight workers’ wage demands and concerns about staffing rosters was held at BUPA’s aged care centre in Edithvale last week as part of “stage two” industrial action.

The stage two protected industrial action means staff will not work on paperwork or work to rosters unless overtime is approved in writing beforehand.

Staff at Bupa’s Bonbeach aged care home are taking part in “stage one” action at this stage with carers wearing red age care campaign T-shirts and handing out information about the pay and conditions campaign to residents and families.

More than 1000 nurses and carers at 26 Bupa aged care centres over the past two weeks across Victoria are taking part in the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation union mandated industrial action.

The union says Bupa offered staff a 2.1 per cent wage rise in December last year and an 11.25 per cent increase over three years since industrial action began.

The ANMF has recommended its members not accept the offer since rostering demands have not been met.

The union says one carer on night shift can be tasked with looking after between 20 to 25 residents and nurses and carers on “unplanned leave” are not replaced by management.

“Inadequate staffing levels in aged

care have become so normalised in a profit-driven aged care sector that employers appear blind to the consequences,” ANMF Victorian branch assistant secretary Paul Gilbert said in a media statement. “Bupa nurses and carers should be so proud that their unprecedented industrial action has put a spotlight on aged care staffing numbers and is prompting people to ask what is a safe number of nurses and carers to look after our elderly loved ones?”

Mr Gilbert called on the federal government to enforce minimum nursing levels under the Aged Care Act. Bupa said “the care and wellbeing of residents who choose to live in Bupa aged care homes is our absolute priority.”

Bupa Aged Care Australia chief nurse Maureen Berry said a proposal to create a new role of clinical case manager by “consolidating existing clinical manager and care manager roles” had sparked the union action.

“It is important to clarify that any suggestion this proposal is the result of industrial action is false,” Ms Berry said in a statement. “This proposal and the ongoing wage negotiations are separate matters.

“On the separate matter of our wage negotiations with our Victorian workforce, we continue to negotiate in good faith with the Unions. Our latest offer includes an 11.25 per cent wage increase over three years and protection of penalty rates including weekend loadings.”

The union has asked the independent Fair Work Commission to step in and help with negotiations.

Parking protest over new fees Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au RETAIL staff at Southland Shopping Centre have taken to the street in front of the shopping complex to protest against being charged up to $1300 annually to park a car while working in shops.

More than 100 people turned up on Monday morning (16 October) on the Nepean Highway outside the Cheltenham shopping centre to demand Westfield provide free parking for retail workers.

Shopping centres operator Westfield introduced paid parking for shoppers staying more than three hours at Southland on 16 October.

The parking fees have been brought in to discourage commuters travelling from the new Southland train station to be opened by the end of the year from parking all day at Southland Shopping Centre.

Shop staff are unhappy they will be forced to pay for parking when rostered to work for more than three hours on a shift.

The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association union backs the workers’ call to not be financially penalised for turning up to work, slamming “greedy global conglomerate” Westfield for “slapping” working with parking fees.

“The $5 a day fee will slash up to $1300 a year from many of our members’ income,” SDA Victoria secretary Michael Donovan said.

“It’s a cost they can’t afford and don’t deserve. What’s next? Charge a gold coin to go to the toilet while at work?”

Mr Donovan said the parking fees are “a double blow” for retail workers at Southland since a Fair Work Commission decision made in August will cut Sunday and public holiday penalty rates for many hospitality, retail and fast food award wage staff.

Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson attended Monday’s protest and said low-paid workers deserved “a fair go” from Westfield.

The state MP has gathered more than 7400 signatures asking Westfield to drop parking fees for Southland shop staff.

“Many workers simply can’t afford it [but] have no other option than to drive to work,” Mr Richardson said.

Signs of discontent: Retail staff and Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson display opposition to retail workers being forced to pay for parking at Southland Shopping Centre. Picture: Gary Sissons

“So how about a fair go for Southland workers [with] no paid parking?”

Scentre Group, owner of Westfield shopping centres across Australia, said the staff parking fee system is also in place at the group’s Doncaster shopping centre.

“To ensure parking spaces are available for customers and prevent anticipated pressure on the carpark due to the opening of the new train station,

controlled ticketless parking will be introduced at Westfield Southland”, Scentre Group corporate affairs head Julia Clarke said in a statement.

“The vast majority of shoppers will continue parking for free with a threehour free parking period”.

“There will be designated staff parking areas, with staff who elect to park at the centre receiving a flat parking rate of $5 per day, or $3 for four-and-a-half hours”.

Shoppers who park for more than three hours at Southland Shopping Centre will pay a sliding scale of fees up to a maximum of $15 for a 7-8 hour stay.

Time to hit garage sales trail again KINGSTON households, schools and community groups are set to join thousands of people across the country taking part in the Garage Sale Trail this month.

The annual event will be held on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday 21-22 October and is a great way to pass on preloved goods to others looking to snap up a bargain.

Garage Sale Trail co-founder Andrew Valder said waste is a growing issue for Australia.

“As a nation, the amount of waste we churn out has grown six times faster than the population and in fact, the average Australian family now produces enough waste to fill a 3 bedroom house every year,” Mr Valder said.

“While recycling is one solution, reusing stuff you no longer want is even better. It extends the life and value of the stuff we buy and takes pressure off the planet’s precious resources.”

Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said the event brings the community together, encourages households to declutter plus think about the waste they generate and how it can be reused.

Police patrol Youths threated

TWO 17-year-olds walking to the bus in Sutton St, Chelsea Heights last week, were robbed by a large man brandishing a tyre iron.

The 195cm tall man, described as having dark skin and black crinkly hair, was standing behind his car.

When the boys, from Mordialloc, approached he opened the boot and brought out the tyre iron and demanded their belongings. The victim gave the man $5 but he also took his iPhone valued at $200.

Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Moorabbin police, 9556 6111.

River plunge charges A HIGHETT man who drove his car into the Patterson River at Bonbeach last week is facing charges of burglary, attempted burglary, possession of cannabis and a range of traffic matters following the incident.

Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Moorabbin police, said the 31-year-old, who had recently bought the car, failed to stop at bollards at the end of Station St, Bonbeach and ran into the river, 4.45am, Tuesday 10 October.

Soon after, a Nepean Highway resident awoke on hearing noises in his kitchen and confronted a man who ran off.

About 45 minutes later another Nepean Highway resident heard his backdoor being opened and went downstairs to see a man – who appeared to be wet – walking around

Casting fun for all SOMETHING fishy was going down at Mordialloc Pier and Patterson River at the weekend.

Crowds of keen anglers hooked up to an enjoyable stint of fishing at part of the National Gone Fishing Day hosted by the Victorian Fisheries Authority.

Vic Fish ambassador Rex Hunt, former Richmond Tigers premiership footy player and fishing and wildlife TV show presenter, joined families casting a line hoping to land a catch.

Children were taught to cast, tie knots and know what to do with a fish when it’s caught as part of fishing clinics on the day.

The Future Fish Foundation hosted its annual Mates Day the same day (Sunday 15 October) for people with disabilities to have a fun day out fishing at Carrum’s Launching Place on Patterson River.

He called police and the dog squad arrived to arrest the man.

Police search and rescue crews later retrieved the car from Patterson River and found a quantity of cannabis inside.

The man is expected to be charged on summons.

Unwelcome visitor

A 16-YEAR-OLD Chelsea Heights boy at home alone got a fright when he walked into a room to find a barechested man sitting at his computer.

The offender, who may have entered through a side door of the Seccull Drive home, made a comment and then handed over the boy’s iPad and walked out.

He is described as Caucasian, 175cm tall, brown hair, trimmed beard, and wearing black tracksuit pants. He was hairy chested.

UNKNOWN offenders broke into a garage at a house at Riversdale Avenue, Carrum, and stole a motorised Trek bike powered by a 48cc petrol engine, overnight Friday 6 October.

Up to 10 tradies’ lock-up steel toolboxes were broken into at the St Kilda Football Club construction site, Linton St, Moorabbin, overnight Friday 13 October. Thieves cut through a chain at the gate and steel fencing to get onto the work site and then used a stolen oxyacetylene welder to cut open the boxes containing a range of work tools.

The value and scope of the haul are still being assessed. Tools from one of the workboxes were engraved with the initials “G.O.”. Detectives urge anyone offered the tools to call them, 9556 6111.

A Scotch Parade resident in Chelsea was the victim of an opportunistic theft when moving items from his car into his garage, 6pm, Monday 9 October.

Thieves stole a Milwaukie battery pack and six batteries, charger, hand tools and a pair of Tommy sunglasses, all up valued at $2500.

“These tradies contribute to society and it is a shame when they are ripped off,” Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Moorabbin police, said.

“Anyone offered these tools should call police in 9556 6111.”

AGL Energy’s plans to use a floating gas terminal at Crib Point will be outlined later this month at Port Phillip Conservation Council’s annual general meeting.

The power retailer’s community relations manager Jay Gleeson will provide a presentation on AGL’s assessment of options for shipping liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Crib Point from interstate and overseas.

The company plans to inject the LNG into a pipeline supplying south-eastern Australia.

Crib Point, in Western Port, was chosen for the floating terminal after an assessment sites around Australia (“Crib Point choice for gas terminal” The Times 14/8/17).

Mr Gleeson will outline of AGL’s import jetty project and its implications for Western Port Bay and Crib Point.

The company’s engageagl.com.au website says it will buy gas “at competitive prices from Australian and international suppliers” which would be brought by ship to Crib Point.

The LNG would be transferred to the floating terminal and converted back into gas before being piped into the existing transportation network.

“A ship that stores the liquid gas will be moored at the existing jetty at Crib Point. The gas import jetty will be connected by pipeline to an existing gas pipeline – the length of this pipeline will depend on the route between the jetty and the transmission pipeline,” the website states. “We will also need some plant and equipment for processes such as metering and odourisation to be installed on shore at the jetty.

“The use of LNG ships is an efficient way

to transport gas, either internationally or from other states in Australia. LNG shipping technology was developed to enable gas to be transported over long distances where pipelines are not economical.”

Under its latest power policy the state Liberal Nationals coalition proposes that any “new” gas extracted in Victoria “would stay in Victoria for the benefit of Victorians”..

Port Phillip Baykeeper Neil Blake will also be at the meeting to speak about likely threats to the bay from population growth, urban consolidation and climate change.

He will give an update on his Baykeeper citizen science program promoting community stewardship of waterways – including his project recording recent changes to beach profiles and erosion around the bay.

The Port Phillip Conservation Council’s annual general meeting will start 7pm 30 October at the Longbeach PLACE-Chelsea Community Centre, 15 Chelsea Rd, Chelsea.

Constable Ryan charged a weekender with behaving in an offensive manner at the Frankston Railway Station on the previous Sunday.

Evidence was adduced that the defendant, when asked for his ticket by a porter at the station he used insulting words and otherwise misconducted himself.

The defendant pleaded that he had been the worse for drink and did not know what he was doing, and expressed sorrow for the occurrence.

The bench decided to deal leniently with the accused, and after administering a severe rebuke made a fine of 10s

which was paid.

Jesse Steele was charge by the police with being in unlawful possesion of a stump jack.

From the evidence brought out it appears the jack in question was claimed

by J. Murray, of Langwarrin, who lost it in 1914.

Steele was in the habit of borrowing the implement.

On the 24th of May 1914 it was lying on the road where he had been working with it, and two days afterwards it was gone.

Defendant used to pass along the road where the jack was lying while going to and from his work.

On the 1st of August last the complainant, in company with Const.

Ryan, went to Lloyd’s place and saw the jack there on a private road near by and identified it as his property.

Had never given or sold it to anyone.

He had a conversation with defendant on 2nd August, said he had gone to Trafalgar to see his father, who while there, gave him the jack, but if he (Murray) thought it was his property he had better take it.

Defendant and his son swore that the jack was the former’s property but the Bench decided that the weight of evidence was in favor of complainant and made an order for £5 1s with costs.

The defendant gave notice of appeal.

Monday 15th October 1917. Before Messrs Sherlock and Oates J’sP. Const. Ryan v A Ryan. Failing to cause Laurence Ryan to attend school required number of days - Fine 2s 6d.

M. Parker for two similar offences was fined 2s 6d in each case.

W A. Towler, auctioneer, applied for

NOW OPEN

an order to eject his tenant, T. Reeves, from premises known as The Grange, at Frankston.

Mr Fitchett appeared for complainant and defendant was represented by Mr Cook.

Richard Taylor, a clerk employed by complainant, gave evidence that he served the notice of proceedings on Mrs Reeves and read the notice to her.

Mr Cook raised the technical objection that Taylor had not explained the meaning of the notice as required by the Act and asked for a dismissal on this ground.

Mr Fitchett contended that the notice, on being read, explained itself.

After lengthy argument by counsel, the Bench upheld the technical point raised by Mr Cook and dismissed the application. *** ECHOES from the Front. WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW We have received the following letter for publication, from Private A. Hague, AAMC Details, 67th Battalion, A I.F.Dear Sir,—I am just writing a few lines to let you all know how I am getting on, as I hear they have been asking lately.

Well so far I have kept in the best of health and hope to continue so. I also trust the residents of Frankston are keeping in the best of health.

I have only met a few of the boys while in Egypt, they were W. Clements. Sgt. Kerr and one of the post office boys.

I had a very enjoyable time in Egypt. At first there was plenty of hard work to do, but later it eased off and we were able to have a fair time

in travelling to different places round about Cairo, and seeing things of great interest.

I was unable to get to Anzac and so far have been unable to go to France through being under age.

I am now with a Battalion, but still there is doubt as to whether I will be going out there with them, for I am still under age for a few months yet. I then expect to get there.

Since I have been in England I have again met Bill Clements and also Les. Gunther. Both are looking well and playing in bands.

I was then stationed at Buford Military Hospital, but have at last been able to get a change and more interesting work. I have been stationed in England for the last twelve months and have been on leave several times.

Once to Manchester, where I landed through getting in the wrong train when I should have gone to Sheffield, but for all that I had a good time visiting the Munition Works and being taken to a Garden Fete at Theatre Park and when on leave to London I visited the British Museum Art Gallery and Buckingham Palace.

They are very interesting to see.

I was one of the thousands the King reviewed a few months back, on Salisbury Plain.

Well Sir, I think I have told you all the news as near as possible in brief, so I now close, trusting the Frankston friends are all well.

I remain, One of the Frankston Boys. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 October 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Long and the Shorts of it

By Stuart McCullough IT’S here at last. For a moment there, I thought the world was so much in the grip of ‘Game of Thrones’ that winter was not so much coming as it was moving in permanently, taking up residence on the couch like an unwanted backpacker, determined to stay as long as possible and eat all the good cereal.

But despite all signs to the contrary, it turns out winter is not eternal after all.

Spring has arrived and springs, if not eternal then belatedly. Hooray.

There’s definitely a shift in mood.

For months on end, weekend walks to the local oval see us encounter people hugging boundary line fences, hands in their coat pockets, cheering on their son or daughter. Suddenly, we’re in that twilight zone between the end of the football season and the start of cricket. The oval is completely abandoned. It can’t be denied - spring has arrived and, once more, I must face the fashion conundrum that is ‘shorts’.

Secretly, I think I fear shorts. They simply don’t offer the kind of security you get from a really good pair of pants. And if shorts sound like an odd thing to be afraid of, I can only point out that I grew up in the seventies and have experienced, first hand, the best and worst that the world of shorts has to offer. Be they long, short, loose or horrifyingly snug; I’ve seen and worn them all.

As a decade, the seventies have a lot to answer for. Flares, stagflation and the musical abomination that was Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony’s demonic earworm ‘The Hustle’. (Apologies if by mere reference

PAGE 10

to ‘The Hustle’ that little flute line is now stuck in your head for the rest of the day.) Those of us who grew up in that era were exposed to the full horror. My first shorts would have been remarkable for two reasons – the white piping around the edges and that highthigh split. To think of those shorts,

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 18 October 2017

even now, makes me feel slightly exposed.

My father was a big fan of the formal short. That’s the pair of short pants you can safely wear to work or church and not feel underdressed. Unlike most pairs of shorts, these could form part of a summer suit. His preferred

shorts were baby blue and came with a white belt. Naturally, he wore them with long socks. It is unfathomable to me that people once wore them in an office environment, but I can even recall teachers donning shorts in the classroom. How things have changed.

As I grew older, wearing shorts was something largely synonymous with going to school. In a very real sense, these were my own formal shorts and I even wore them with long socks. For crying out loud, I even had little strips of elastic that I used to keep my socks up. Ideally, these homemade garters would be tight enough to keep your socks up but not cut off the circulation to the lower part of your leg. I couldn’t tell you the last time I required a pair of garters.

We didn’t wear shorts all year, just the warmer months. And there was always a point at which you had to decide whether to make the switch from long pants to short. Almost inevitably, the first day felt like a day too soon but, before long, trousers were forgotten until next year, when they’d be retrieved and you’d discover you’d grown about six inches and were no longer any use.

The other key pair of shorts was the footy short. These, almost without exception, were far too tight. I was the kind of kid that only wore footy shorts when playing footy. Others, however, considered them their ‘go to’ shorts, fit for almost any occasion other than a court appearance. Those kids were cooler. Heading to the Milk Bar with my parents, local youths in footy shorts lingered outside, lean-

ing against their dragsters. My shorts probably said ‘Hang Ten’ on them and I wished I was invisible. Those kids had a kind of freedom I could only imagine.

James Taylor once said he’d seen fire and he’d seen rain. I, however, have seen acid wash denim shorts of a kind that defy description and, to this day, terrify my imagination. At a certain point, fashion required that shorts become a lot less short, to the point that they kind of became pointless. I’m talking about the long pair of shorts that reaches well beyond the knees where the line between a long pair of shorts and a short pair of long pants becomes painfully blurred. As I recall it, these shorts covered the knees extremely well but often failed to cover ‘the tradesman’s smile’ when bending over. It is hard to imagine a more extreme design flaw.

Don’t get me wrong – it’s not just history that makes me reluctant. It’s also a safety thing. I have (quite frankly) a spectacular set of pins. But they are incredibly pale. By ‘pale’ I don’t simply mean lacking a tan, I mean north-of-the-wall, white walker pale.

Albino pale. Avert your eyes lest the brightness might damage your retina kind of pale. So whilst I’m as happy as anyone to see that the longest of winters is now finally over, forgive me if I stick to long pants. The world has suffered enough. And that, I feel, is the long and the shorts of it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Peninsula Old Boys off to a flyer PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys and Mt Eliza are the only undefeated teams in MPCA Provincial and stand alone at the top of the ladder.

At the other end, Crib Point and Pearcedale remain the only teams without a victory in the opening two games of the season.

POB has started its season in dominant fashion, belting Crib Point by nine

wickets in the season’s second straight one-day fixture.

The Magpies batted first on their home deck and failed to make it to the end of its allotted 40 overs, bowled out in the 38th for just 103.

Jon Forrest was at his vintage best, snaring 3/13 from eight overs, while Eivion Bowen, Tom Shayler and James LaBrooy all finished with two wickets.

Neil Clark top scored for the Pies with 27.

In reply, devastating POB opening

batsman Dylan O’Malley treated the Pies’ bowlers with contempt, blasting an unbeaten 71, which included nine boundaries and four sixes, as the vistitors hit the total in 13.2 overs.

Mt Eliza also picked up its second straight win, beating Sorrento at Emil Madsden Reserve.

The home team batted first and made 9/160 from its 40 overs, Keith Biggs top scoring with 42, while Chathupama Gunasinghe broke his Australian drought, claiming 3/45 for the Sorras.

In reply, Justin Grant stepped up to the plate with the ball for the Mounties, claiming 3/22 as his side rolled Sorrento for 147 in 37.2 overs. Corey Harris top scored for the visitors with 36.

Langwarrin beat Pearcedale to claim the Bushman’s Cup, winning by 13 runs.

Andy Johnson was the difference between the sides, opening with 89 for the Kangas, while Kaine Smith claimed 5/25 for the Dales.

Pearcedale was then bowled out for

162, Matt Campbell picking up 3/28 and Jake Prosser 3/51.

Mornington picked up its first win of the season, beating Baxter with three overs to spare.

Chris Brittain was claimed by Cameron Moon for six after scoring 100 in round one. Joe Rule top scored for Baxter with 44.

Mornington skipper Sam Weise then top scored as the Dogs cruised to the total five wickets down.

Jewell makes his mark PENINSULA

A long walk in the park: Long Island dispatched Delacombe Park with nine wickets in hand. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully NEW Main Ridge coach Nick Jewell stamped his authority on the MPCA Peninsula competition with a menacing and unbeaten 161 on Saturday against Moorooduc.

Jewell came to the crease with the score at 1/31 and put on 131 with Shaun Foster, who eased into the season with a lazy 86 runs in his first hit for the year.

When Jewell left the field with Gareth Wyatt (32no), his side had scored a massive 3/302.

The Ridge bowlers then got to work and rolled the Ducs for just 109 with Foster claiming 3/11, Oliver McEnroe 3/24 and James Abbott 3/20.

Long Island made light work of Delacombe Park, chasing down victory with nine wickets in hand.

Stuart Swift picked up 3/20 for the Islanders and James Paxton and Andrew Tweddle each claimed 2/19, as the Parkers were bowled out for 135.

Aaron Paxton then scored 61 and Ed Pubudu an unbeaten 36 as the Islanders reached the total three wickets down.

Somerville made it two wins from

two matches, smashing Pines with ease.

In a match that belonged to the bowlers, Somerville’s boom recruit Jayde Herrick took 5/23 as his side defended its 10/128, bowling out the Piners for 114. Pines opener Damien Lawrence and Somerville’s Nick Marshall top scored for the day with 48 runs each.

Red Hill picked up its first win of the season, holding off Flinders to win by 17 runs.

The Hillmen batted first at BA Cairns Reserve and it was skipper Simon Dart who top scored with 73, while Matt Merifield hit 38 and Tim Collett 36 from 39 deliveries.

Matt Burns was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 2/22 and Flinders skipper Neil Barfuss claimed 2/47.

In reply, Flinders just couldn’t get their noses in front in the chase.

Despite batting the 40 overs, the home side fell short, restricted to 8/171 with Blake Hogan-Keogh top scoring with 48 and Mason Mail hitting 41.

Jimmy McCall claimed 2/26 for Red Hill with the ball, Glenn Collett snared 2/39 and Tom Collett bowled his eight overs for a return of 1/20.

Demons show fight against Heatherhill DISTRICT

By IT Gully IT’S been a long time between wins but Rye celebrated one very hard on Saturday night after chasing down Heatherhill with one over to space in MPCA District cricket.

The Demons let themselves down with an extremely poor performance in round one, however, they were superb with the bat on Saturday.

Heatherhill batted first and made a very healthy 6/215 with Sam Mullavey opening with 75, Steven O’Donnell batting with him at the top of the order scoring 43 and Kristian Miller hitting 41.

The Demons used seven bowlers, Zac Stevenson the best of them with 2/28.

Rye skipper Matt Whelan then led his side to victory, scoring 66, while Tim Symons belted seven fours and six sixes in his unbeaten 69.

The visitors looked shaky as wickets began to fall quickly, however

Cam Dunn’s nine to stay with Symons led the team to victory.

Seaford Tigers made light work of Hastings, inflicting the Blues’ second hiding in as many weeks.

The Tigers batted first after being sent in and made 6/228, before rolling the Blues for just 86.

Mitch Floyd (32) and Isuru Dias (13) were the only Blues batsmen to score runs in the double figures.

Baden Powell’s Rhys Elmi top scored with 55 as his side beat Rosebud and became the only unbeaten side after two rounds.

The Braves didn’t appear to have done enough after scoring just 9/134 after winning the toss and batting.

Jason Nagel picked up 2/25 for the Buds and Nathan O’Sullivan claimed 2/21.

The Braves did step up to the plate with the ball though, rolling Rosebud for 104 in 38 overs.

Jason Mathers top scored for the Buds with 32 and skipper Billy scored 31.

Michael Ballard was the pick of the bowlers for the Braves with 3/14 from 6.4 overs, while Elmi capped off a great game with 2/16.

Mt Martha picked up its first win with a strong performance against Seaford.

The Reds batted first and Jarred Wolsgrove top scored with 50 while Matthew Pollock hit 43 and keeper Rob Dillon 28. Faisal Payenda was the best of Seaford’s bowlers with 3/26.

While Dean Polson hit 50 for Seaford, it wasn’t enough, the home side bowled out in 30 overs.

Kyle Bendle was the best of Mt Martha’s bowlers with 4/16 from seven overs.

Boneo and Ballam Park are also unbeaten after two rounds, winning their matches against Dromana and Carrum respectively.

The Saints made light work of Tyabb on Saturday, smashing them by more than 100 runs.

The visitors batted first and made 5/183, Nathan Kleinig opening with 72, while Mark Walles and skipper Mal Coutts each hit 32.

In reply, the Yabbies started alright but lost 9/39 to be bowled out for 89.

Ben King was superb for the Saints with 5/17 from eight overs while Coutts snared 3/14 from six overs.

Dromana was put to the sword by Boneo, losing by seven wickets.

The Hoppers batted first and made just 114 in 40 overs, Kierran Voelkl top scoring with 34 and Ben Bradley-Bridge hitting 33.

Chris Jobling, skipper Leigh Janssen, Ryan Jellie and Cam Williams all picked up two wickets each for Boneo.

With the bat, the Pandas dominated, hitting the winning runs with 11 overs and seven wickets to spare. Jack Beale top scored with 52, including 10 fours.

Ballam Park had to fight hard against Carrum but got the result they were looking for.

Carrum batted first on its own deck and made

9/179, Corey Hand top scoring with 56.

In reply, the Knights scored the winning runs in the final over.

Justin Moore top scored for the Knights with 54 and Stuart Plunkett hit 52, while Steve Worthington opened with 36.

Carrum Downs beat Skye in a close one.
