Pilot trial puts kids in the swim Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CARRUM Downs pupils will be among the first in Victoria to learn life-saving swimming skills as part of a new state government program to be trialled at Frankston’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC).

About 200 pupils in grade 5 and 6 from Banyan Fields Primary School will take part in ten swimming lessons to learn “survival skills” such as treading water, floating, rescue strategies and basic CPR. The program aims to help children deal with emergencies, such as unexpectedly falling into water.

Lessons at the PARC will take place before school hours next year and the pupils’ swimming abilities will be assessed to set a benchmark against state and national standards.

A similar trial by Life Saving Victoria in Shepparton in May found nearly 90 per cent of students improved in at least one practical swimming skill by the end of the trial and 84 per cent had learned how to float in water.

The government’s move to possibly make before or after school swimming lessons compulsory comes in the wake of a coroner’s report into the drowning death of 9-year-old Seaford boy, Bailey Patman, off Frankston beach in January 2012 (‘Drowning death lessons for all’, The Times 22/6/15).

Coroner Caitlin English agreed with a Life Saving Victoria 2013 report Sink or Swim: the state of Victorian primary school children’s swimming ability recommending swimming and water safety be taught as “a compulsory skill” as part of every Victorian primary school’s curriculum.

“Losing a child to drowning is an absolute tragedy and we want to make sure our kids have the skills they need to stay safe in the water,” Emergency Services Jane Garrett said in a statement announcing the trial swim lessons at PARC. PARC CEO Tim Gledhill hoped all children in Frankston can have the opportunity to learn to swim by the time they finish grade 6.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with LSV on this program, as well as delivering an effective swimming program for Banyan Fields Primary School next year.

“Our ultimate aim, with the support of LSV and government, is to confirm a series of pilot programs for long term implementation to help determine best practise swimming program curriculum, including duration and lesson mix to help improve the swimming capabilities of all children.”

An estimated 60 per cent of children in Victoria leave primary school unable to swim the length of an Olympicsized pool of 50 metres according to LSV statistics.

Basketball stadium finally funded Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE first stage of a long-awaited redevelopment of the Frankston Regional Basketball Centre can finally go ahead after the federal government confirmed a $4.95 million contribution to the project.

Frankston Council has praised Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson for his help to secure the funding after an initial application for the funds was knocked back over doubts there would be enough overall funding for the stadium redevelopment to be completed once begun (‘Stadium upgrade thrown into doubt’, The Times 6/7/15).

Council will contribute $4 million to the stadium upgrade, the state govern-

ment $2.5 million and the basketball association will put $1 million towards redevelopment the Seaford facilities to include four additional courts taking the total to ten and upgrades to spectator seating, car parking, change rooms and public toilets.

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said Mr Billson had been instrumental in securing the $4.95 million grant from the federal government’s National Stronger Regional Fund at the second attempt.

“This is an outstanding result that has been driven by the tireless work of the Federal Member for Dunkley, Bruce Billson. Mr Billson has not only offered advice to Council about the Australian Government National Stronger Regional Fund’s criteria, he suggested an appro-

priate amount to apply for and lobbied hard for our city to secure this commitment,” Cr Dooley said in a statement.

“I would like to commend Mr Billson for presenting the numerous benefits this project would bring to our region, to former and current Ministers. His persistence has seen Frankston secure almost $5 million from a much sought after funding pool.”

Mr Billson has traded barbs over the past few months with his Labor state counterparts, Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke and Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny, over funding for the basketball stadium.

The former small business minister, due to retire from politics at the next federal election, has slammed Labor for failing to put in more than the $2.5 million

committed to the project by the previous Napthine state government.

Labor has resisted attempts to have the Andrews government put more money into the stadium upgrade than was promised by the previous Liberal National Coalition state government.

Frankston Basketball general manager Nathan Jolly said last weekend’s announcement that the $4.95 million funding had been approved “is a great relief to Frankston Basketball’s 13,000 plus strong membership”.

Mr Jolly said midweek games would no longer need to be scheduled at 10pm thanks to the extra court space.

“As well as the additional court space, the facility will get a lift with improved and modernised conditions and start

to evolve into a facility which is better suited to sustainably manage the increased demands being placed on it from all segments of our participation base.”

Cr Dooley noted the total $12.45 million budget committed to date is “very tight” but thanked all levels of government – local, state and federal – for working together to ultimately ensure the first stage of the project can proceed next year.

Stages 2 and 3 of a complete redevelopment to upgrade the stadium to a regional table tennis and multi-sport facility are being planned to be constructed by 2031 but the additional stages are reliant on a further $8-$13 million in funding.

Council ‘shocked’ at parking fees Pick it up: Beach Patrol volunteer John Billing picks up litter at Frankston beach earlier this year.

Keep beaches clean this summer BEACHGOERS are being encouraged to look after Frankston’s shining sands this summer by helping ensure beaches are litter free.

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley hopes the best possible impression can be presented to visitors to Frankston over the summer months.

“Over the years litter on our beaches has been an ongoing and costly issue, particularly given our high visitation numbers. To help curb this council has implemented education programs that have helped reduce the amount of litter on our shores,” Cr Dooley said.

“Unfortunately the message hasn’t made it through to everyone, but we do appreciate those who do the right thing and bin it. Your efforts go a long way towards presenting a better image of Frankston for the hundreds of thousands of summer visitors.

“Rubbish is not only horrible to look at, but also has the potential to seriously harm the Bay and our local marine life, which includes fish, seals, dolphins and an array of seabirds.”

Council’s foreshore team cleans rubbish from the beach and foreshore areas near the waterfront on a daily basis and on

days when there are most visitors in the area rubbish bins are emptied more than once per day.

“We are preparing for a long and extremely hot summer, which means we can expect an increase in the amount of waste being deposited into our bins. To accommodate this, additional larger waste and recycling bins have been introduced at Frankston Waterfront, Seaford Life Saving Club, the McCulloch Avenue boardwalk and Keast Park,” Cr Dooley said.

Extra waste bins will also be placed along Frankston and Seaford foreshores.

“Rubbish is not only horrible to look at, but also has the potential to seriously harm the Bay and our local marine life, which includes fish, seals, dolphins and an array of seabirds,” the Mayor said.

Beach patrols, dedicated volunteer groups who pick up rubbish along Frankston’s shoreline are also contributing to a positive image for the area.

Groups such as the Frankston 3199 and Seaford 3198 Beach Patrols are always keen to welcome new volunteers.

CAR parking fees at Frankston Hospital have been condemned as “exorbitant” by Frankston councillors.

Councillors unanimously voted to write to the board of Peninsula Health and Health Minister Jill Hennessy to ask fees be reviewed amid council concerns about “excessive parking fees”.

Cr Suzette Tayler said she had been shocked at the price of parking at Frankston Hospital on two recent visits.

She said she had been charged $9 for a one hour and 10 minute stay.

“I think it’s really important as a council to stand up and say something about the fees that are being asked for Frankston Hospital – it’s wrong,” Cr Tayler said.

The Labor state government has ordered hospitals throughout Victoria to review their parking fees (‘Hospitals on notice over carpark fees’, The Times 23/11/15).

Peninsula Health planning and infrastructure acting executive director Rick Law told The Times last month concession parking fees may be available if visitors and patients speak to a hospital social worker about financial stress caused by carpark fees.

A discounted weekly rate of $45 for parking is also available but many visitors say they are unaware of this rate since it has not been prominently advertised.

The state government says all hospitals must now make publicise all

Parking concerns: Frankston councillors have criticised hospital car park fees.

available concession parking fees.

Cr Darrel Taylor noted Frankston Hospital’s parking fees are “exorbitant” compared to council’s own $5 per day parking fees in Frankston.

“To go in there two or three times a week, it gets very, very expensive,” Cr Colin Hampton said.

Frankston Hospital car parking fees begin at $7 for one hour rising to $15 for five hours, the maximum fee for all-day parking.

“I think it’s really important as a council to stand up and say something about the fees that are being asked for Frankston Hospital – it’s wrong,” Cr Tayler said.

“So many people are stressed.”

Intruder killed chasing woman A BURGLAR who assaulted a woman at a Frankston Heights home at Cassia Grove died after a neighbor, alerted by the woman’s screams at about 1.30pm on Friday afternoon, rushed to help.

Police said the 33-year-old woman, who had recently begun renting the house, had returned home on Friday afternoon to discover a male intruder in the Cassia Grove property.

An eyewitness told ABC News the burglar chased the woman out of the house into the back garden before “a confrontation” between the 42-year-old neighbour and the intruder resulted in the burglar’s death.

Police were called to Cassia Grove and found the body of the intruder in the backyard of the home.

“There was a confrontation between the neighbour and the male intruder and it appears that that male has lost his life in circumstances which are currently under investigation,” Homicide Squad detective Sergeant Robert Nazaretian said on Friday afternoon.

The woman was taken to The Alfred hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police said the burglar was a 44-year-old previous resident of the Cassia Grove home who had subsequently moved to Hastings and was not known to the woman.

The neighbour who came to the woman’s aid was released late on Friday after questioning by police pending further investigation.

The cause of the male intruder’s death has not yet been confirmed.

Easy car break-ins a pain for police UP to 30 offenders have been arrested and charged over the past fortnight in relation to thefts of cars, and from cars, in Carrum Downs, Frankston, Frankston South, Langwarrin and Seaford areas.

The ease with which the crimes are committed amazes Frankston police, who say residents are “not doing the right thing” to ensure they are not victims of crime.

They don’t know what else they can do to encourage residents to lock their cars, especially overnight, and keep any valuables out of sight.

Senior Constable Ken Howard, of Frankston CIU, said more than 40 per cent of burgled cars had been unlocked. He said

the offenders were mainly midto-late teens who saw the thefts as easy money-spinners. Many simply walk along trying car doors and stealing from those they find unlocked.

“We appeal to residents to make sure their cars are locked and that valuables are removed,” he said.

Police believe the same thief is responsible for two car breakins at around the same time in Mudlark Ct, Carrum Downs, in the early hours of Wednesday 2 December.

In the first robbery, $15,000 in tools was stolen from a utility at 2.30am. Senior Constable Howard said the owner, a plumber, was “devastated” at losing the uninsured tools, which included

Milwaukie brand equipment.

Individual items were valued at $3000 and $4000.

About 20 minutes later, a wallet containing credit cards and a quantity of cash was stolen from an unlocked car in the same court.

Senior Constable Howard said police were searching for a Caucasian teenager, aged 1517, riding a BMX bike. As the plumber’s tools were heavy and bulky, he may have used a car parked nearby to remove them.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the tools, is offered cheap tools or who has information on the crimes, is urged to call Senior Constable Howard on 9784 5590, or Crime Stoppers 1300 333 000.

Uber knockback a blip on the sat-nav Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au MULTINATIONAL ride-sharing company Uber was knocked back from holding an “information session” at Mornington Secondary College last Tuesday evening.

The purpose of the session included signing up new drivers.

Acting principal Jim Papas confirmed the school had cancelled the booking once it became aware of the recent Melbourne Magistrates’ Court conviction, and fine, of an UberX driver, for operating a commercial passenger vehicle illegally.

“We decided not to associate with the service if it is illegal,” he said.

Despite the knockback, Uber managed to move its session to The Grand Hotel.

Uber spokesperson Katie Curran said: “We have hundreds of partners who live on the Mornington Peninsula and we routinely run information and outreach sessions right across the markets we serve to provide support to our existing driver-partners and help new driver-partners on to the system.

“We know that the peninsula has significant transport issues over summer which can lead to people choosing to drink and drive or to walk home on unlit roads. If people have access to safe, reliable and affordable transport, they often make different choices.”

Uber’s appearance in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula is concerning regular taxi drivers, who

fear their livelihood will further slip away to the hip new service, which doesn’t have their in-built costs (‘Uber’s arrival challenges taxi operators’, The Times 19/1/15). It’s especially galling to established licence holders who see their investment falling in value by more than half.

Long-standing Mornington taxi driver Ross Sanders is outraged that Uber can “thumb its nose at the rules and regulations and get off scot-free”.

He said starting up a regular taxi driver on the peninsula cost $22,703 in licence fees, followed by full insurance and on-road costs, whereas an Uber driver “could start up for free at the drop of a hat”.

He claims it is unfair that taxi services, having factored in high-price licences, full driver training and accreditation, comprehensive insurance, GPS, security cameras and tactile signs, can be undermined by a foreign service that moves in for free

and takes away their business.

“Uber is a tragedy waiting to happen,” he said.

“I carry all the necessary requirements and, if a passenger feels threatened by me, they can call the police and I will be off the road in five minutes.

“Yet Uber can hide behind technicalities.”

The fining of the UberX driver is cold comfort, too, because it’s believed that Uber pays the fines and the driver is free to break the rules all over again.

“In typical fashion, Uber continues to have no regard for the law and encourages others to break the law, putting at risk the safety and wellbeing of both drivers and passengers alike,” he said.

A driver for 28 years servicing the eastern side of the peninsula, Mr Sanders said taxis were “up against it”.

“We’ve come through the [Allan Fels] taxi reforms and out the other side and now Uber is on the scene and it’s a whole new kettle of fish,” he said.

Taxi Services Commission chair Graeme Samuel said competition in the taxi and hire car industry “must be done within the confines of the law”. “[The 2 December Melbourne Magistrates’ Court] decision vindicates the actions taken by the TSC to enforce the law as it currently stands,” he said.

Despite the use of the term “within the confines of the law”, Mornington Police Senior Sergeant Brett Coloe said the Victorian Taxi Directorate was the responsible authority for managing and enforcing rules regarding Uber drivers – not police.

He said Uber “as a body” was not illegal, rather “it’s the actions of the drivers that are illegal”.

Senior Sergeant Coloe said the recruitment sessions did “not amount to inciting drivers to break the law”.

He was unsure whether Uber passengers – like the drivers – were breaking the law.

Mr Samuel said the TSC was com-

mitted to enforcing the law and had acted consistently by holding drivers acting illegally to account.

“The TSC will continue to take compliance action against ride-sharing services that are found to be operating illegally.”

He said the “wider issue of ride-sharing and its future in Victoria is a policy matter that is being considered by government”.

The TSC says it has another 11 matters before the courts for charges similar to the [Uber] matter.

Uber says its ride experience “from request to drop-off is geared towards ensuring reliability and safety.

“Upon requesting a car, our technology provides the rider with their driver’s name, photograph, licence plate, vehicle type, and a contact number.

“The rider can see the car approaching on a map, and share their journey in real time, via app, with others. Both riders and drivers must also provide feedback after each journey.”

Mr Sanders said “thousands of families and businesses are being decimated

by Uber and are unsure what the government is going to do”.

He admitted the uncertainty was costing him financially.

Others have been harder hit, with plates costing up to half a million dollars three or four years ago – and regarded as rock-solid investments – now only worth “in the low $200,000s”.

That’s if there are any buyers …

“We just want police to enforce the law,” he said. “The democracy of the law is that it provides justice for all, equally.”

Courting the summer slam BASKETBALL “like you’ve never seen before” will take over the Frankston Basketball Stadium this month for the annual Summer Slam tournament held by South Sudanese Australian National Basketball Association (SSANBA).

The tournament not only features amazing sporting ability, raw athleticism and an impressive slam dunk contest, it is also an important cultural event for the Sudanese-Australian community; uniting them through basketball.

The programs run by SSANBA, as well as its partner Helping Hoops, have empowered many Sudanese-Australian youth in Frankston, giving them a sense of purpose and motivation.

The tournament will be held from December 18-20, finishing on a high with finals on the Sunday, at the stadium on Bardia Ave in Seaford.

See ssanba.com.au for details.

Woman dies in head-on crash A SEAFORD woman died last week when the Ford Roadster she was driving was involved in a two-car collision at Carrum Downs last Sunday (6 December).

Victoria Police media spokesman Senior Constable Adam West said the 70-year-old driver of a Holden Commodore travelling south along Frankston-Dandenong Rd, 1.45pm, lost control and crossed onto the wrong side of the road before the crash.

It collided with the north-bound hot rod, killing the driver, 58, and injuring a male passenger, of Carrum Downs.

The passenger and the driver of the Holden were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Senior Constable Darren Morgan, of Frankston Highway Patrol, said Friday he was awaiting blood tests as part of his investigation into the crash.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000, or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au The number of lives lost on Victoria’s roads so far this year is 240; the figure last year was 239.

Kinder grant LITTLE Tommies Early Learning Centre will be built in Mt Eliza as part of a state government $50 million investment in the early childhood sector.

Eastern Victoria MP Daniel Mulino said $650,000 would be spent on the standalone facility at St Thomas More School, Canadian Bay Rd. The centre will provide 44 funded kindergarten places as well as 44 threeyear-old places.

“This grant will help give Mt Eliza families flexible, accessible and affordable early learning and care services,” Mr Mulino said. “The facility will foster supportive relationships for the wider community. It will offer opportunities for community learning and allow for relationships between the community and the school to be forged at an earlier time.”

He said improved ratios would allow more one-on-one time for each child and add value to the time they spend at kindergarten before school.

Caring for Children’s feet Celebrating 30 years

New dragon boat truly a blessing

Blessed are the Dragonflys: Buddhist Monk, the Venerable Thong Dang, above right, blessed Dragon Abreast Peninsula Dragonflys new boat ‘Bella’ and all who will sail in her.

DRAGON’S Abreast Peninsula Dragonflys celebrated the blessing of their newest dragon boat, named Bella, on last Saturday (5 December) at their home base on the banks of the Patterson River in Carrum.

The Dragonflys, part of the Dragons Abreast organisation, offer breast cancer survivors a chance to meet others with similar experiences and have fun while exercising by rowing boats along Patterson River.

A traditional Buddhist blessing was performed by Buddhist Monk, the Venerable Thong Dang,

and included the symbolic tying of string from the gold Buddha to Bella, followed by the blessing of the boat and all of the club paddlers.

“It was a very special occasion for us as a club,” club president Tricia Lewis said.

“Bella is Peninsula Dragonflys’ third dragon boat. We are now fortunate to have two 20s (paddler) boats, named Bernie and Bella, generously donated to us

by Bernie Taylor of the Grand Hotel, Mornington. Our third boat, a 10s (paddler) boat named Carly, was a surprise a few years

ago as part of the Secret Millionaire television programme”.

The blessing was a moving ceremony attended by enthusiastic members of the club as well as Dragons Abreast Australia board member Anne Stowe, members of sister DAA club DA Ballarat and representatives of Bendigo Bank, John Bainbridge and Kristy Marshall, who have also financially helped the club.

“I must also extend special thanks to Charles Zhang for his cultural insight and assistance in organising the blessing and to our club vice-President Linda Young

for all her hard work in planning this event,” Ms Lewis said.

The Peninsula Dragonflys are a Dragons Abreast dragon boat club located at the Patterson Lakes Canoe Club, Carrum. Currently the club has 60 active members who are breast cancer survivors and supporters. The members come largely from the Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne south-east suburbs.

The club will celebrate its 10 year anniversary next year. New members can contact Tricia Lewis on 0407 539 382.

Online watch list tracks councils’ performance A NEW website tracking the performance of councils across Victoria has been launched by the state government.

Performance indicators in 66 categories are listed on the Know Your Council site, including rates cost, missed rubbish bin collections and customer service satisfaction levels.

Frankston Council has been given an above average rating across most categories and outscores similar councils for customer service and waste collection according to the site.

Areas for improvement include time taken to decide planning applications and transparency.

Frankston takes 105 days on average to make a decision compared to 86 days at similar sized councils.

Council makes decisions at meetings closed to the public 16 per cent of the time compared to 8 per cent at similar councils.

Frankston’s average residential rate per residential property assessment was also below the average of $1449.04 for similar councils, at $1,099.19.

Labor’s Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said the Know Your Council site improves transparency across all state councils.

“For the first time, Victorians will be able to access the details of council performance with the click of a button, and without reading dense annual reports,” she said in a statement.

“The Know Your Council website is all about providing local residents with more information and a greater understanding of the work their council is doing.”

Statistics will be updated annually. Councils will also be able to respond to the results on the website.

See knowyourcouncil.vic.gov.au to see Frankston Council performance results.

Bucketloads of commitment: Mark, left, Niki, Ed and Alex help maintain Wallace Reserve.

Connecting skills to preserve reserve YOUNG adults with a range of disabilities have been visiting Wallace Reserve each month to help the Friends of Wallace Reserve in their maintenance activities.

The Connecting Skills Australia (CSA) Friends recently spent the morning helping to plant indigenous seedlings propagated by the 3rd Frankston Girl Guides.

“This is a rewarding program for our clients, where they undertake worthwhile tasks and mix with the other Friends Group members. They always come back tired but happy after their morning out at Wallace Reserve,” CSA’s client services coordinator Jacqui Elms said.

Friends Group President Tony Gustus said

everyone should have the opportunity to protect the environment.

“We have fantastic support from Frankston Council rangers and management, as well as the local community, such as the Girl Guides and Frankston Heights Primary School.”

The Friends Group was established in 2005 as a result of the local community coming together under the guidance of Frankston Council rangers to help remove the weed infestation and reestablish indigenous vegetation.

“The difference Friends Group members have helped make in the reserve over the last few years is quite amazing,” Friends of Wallace Reserve secretary David Cross said.

Who watches the council watchers?

Fun for all: The

Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre’s support for sport and recreation for people with a disability has been recognised by the state government.

ANALYSIS

By David Harrison THE state government’s recent move to tighten rules to control councillors and council staff raises some interesting issues, the basic one being: how much control should one level of government have over another?

And secondly, how much control should council bureaucrats have over councillors?

If, for example, federal politicians enacted a law giving them the power to stand down or suspend state MPs, how would the “inferior” state legislature react?

Yet the Andrews government, through Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins, intends to do precisely this with new laws to “strengthen local governance and reduce councillor misconduct”. The legislation received Royal assent in late October.

Local government was already stringently controlled through Part 4 of the Local Government Act and by councillor codes of conduct, also dealt with by the Act. Councillors are also effectively controlled in part by the democratic process and by the government’s power to suspend entire councils who misbehave.

The latest changes appear, to this lay reader anyway, to point to a tightening of bureaucratic council power over the people elected to be councillors. Other statements in the release strengthen this interpretation.

For example: “The Minister for Local Government will receive new powers, including the option to recommend to the Governor in Council that a councillor be stood down if … the councillor has been accused of serious or gross misconduct …

Is it enough for a councillor simply to be “accused” for him or her to be excluded from the chamber for “up to six months”, unable to vote on matters vital in local communities? What if the councillor is later to be found innocent of the accusation? “Oops – sorry.”

As well, “the minister is … empowered to appoint municipal monitors and to issue governance directions to councils”. Mention is also made of “independent council-

PARC access is a winner THE Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre (PARC) has won a state government gong for inclusivity.

PARC snared the ‘Inclusive Sport, Recreation or Open Space Infrastructure’ award at the Victorian Government Awards for Disability, Sport and Recreation this month.

The DSR Awards acknowledge those who provide support in the area of sport and recreation to people with disability.

PARC CEO Tim Gledhill said the team at the aquatic centre is proud to have snared the award on Frankston’s behalf.

“We are honoured to be recognised at this year’s Victorian DSR Awards. Receiving an acknowledgement in our first year of operation is a great result and a testament to the diligence of Frankston Council and centre developers who put processes in place before opening to ensure our centre could be enjoyed by all,” he said.

The $49.7 million aquatic centre was officially opened in September last year thanks to funding from the federal government, state government and Frankston Council.

Features of PARC’s design include four accessible

change rooms including adjustable adult size change tables and ceiling hoist and tracking systems, access ramps into all pool areas, portable chair hoists, hearing loops in group fitness rooms and a wide range of fitness equipment that is adaptable for wheel chair users.

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said the award shows what can be achieved when all levels of government work together on a major project.

“Frankston City works hard to improve the health and wellbeing of all our residents and provides inclusive facilities that are welcoming and accessible. We didn’t only want to create facilities that met the bare minimum of requirements, we were committed to meeting best practice,” he said.

More than 500,000 people have visited PARC since it opened and 7000 have signed up for memberships.

lor conduct panels”. Appointed by who? With what powers?

Such apparently draconian and anti-democratic new controls, now approved to be exercised on the basis of “guilty before being proved guilty” – anathema in English law for half a millennium – extends the indirect power currently wielded by the deplorable Local Government Inspectorate.

A recent case here in the shire prevented a councillor from voting on such a vital issue for several years. The new powers appear to have similar political repercussions: one accusation and you’re unable to vote.

It was a disgraceful example of the inspectorate’s leisurely approach to justice and democracy – it welcomes and acts on complaints that can be made anonymously – and, in the view of many (including this writer), this case should have resulted in an investigation of the inspectorate’s performance and the necessity of its continuing existence.

No doubt the inspectorate slumbers on in a suite of expensive offices somewhere at the top end of town, relaxed as a koala in the comfortable fork of a gum tree.

It appears Ms Hutchins has succumbed to deputations of mayors and “councils, peak bodies and communities”, who have convinced her that the changes were “desperately needed”.

Her own media release of 28 October belies much of what she has had enacted. It concludes: “While overall misconduct among Victoria’s 79 councils is rare, it is vital that our governance frameworks are robust and ready to deal with misconduct.”

What is desperately needed is for Ms Hutchins and the government she serves to respect local government and to expedite its efficient operation by use of the carrot, not the stick.

That would be a refreshing change of direction for the party of local government branch-stackers and deal-doers.

Land buy to keep animals off track Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au AN appeal will be launched early in the New Year to buy land to form safe wildlife corridors between national parks on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Australian Wildlife Protection Council (AWPC) is concerned for the survival of native animals forced from their natural habitat on private property.

On Friday the AWPC announced the appointment of Craig Thompson as its new wildlife protection officer and a plan to crowd fund corridors to protect displaced animals.

Mr Thompson said on Monday that he had attended 80 callouts this year to collisions between eastern kangaroos and motor vehicles.

Female kangaroos were sometimes found to be carrying joeys which, if the mother had been killed, were taken to wildlife carers.

Mr Thompson said instead of culling kangaroos farmers could include them in their land management practices.

"It is ironic that some farmers are paying a lot of money for services that kangaroos would provide for free,” he said.

“For instance, vineyards spend much time and money keeping grass and weeds down between the vines.

But, if they took down the fences and let the kangaroos in, the roos would not eat the vines, but they would keep the grass short.”

Mr Thomson said the campaign to

On the move: Buying land for wildlife corridors is seen as the answer to cut the high number of kangaroos and other native animals being hit on Mornington Peninsula roads. Picture: Yanni

buy land on the peninsula was aimed at creating “a private land reserve system for a wildlife corridor between national parks to sustain wildlife in the future”.

He says the need is urgent as suburban development and a recent spate of

farm-fencing are blocking the kangaroos' natural behaviour on the peninsula.

Mr Thomson said wildlife corridors were needed “in the area between Flinders, Boneo and back towards Mt Martha”.

Ideally, the corridors would provide animals with access to the nature reserve around the former Devilbend Reservoir, near Moorooduc.

"Currently with land clearing for development, councils require offsets.

But offsets very rarely consider what

happens to displaced wildlife, except for managing it, which is a euphemism for conducting cull or fertility programs,” Mr Thompson said.

AWPC president Maryland Wilson said she was shocked to hear of a recent call to cull kangaroos ahead of development as the only option for kangaroos displaced by Melbourne's expansion.

"There is another non-violent solution," she said.

"It is a scandal that we have suffered through a succession of planning documents for Melbourne, without any allocating land for habitat with interconnecting continuous wildlife corridors that would enable safe passage for native animals. They have also failed to provide more than a tiny handful of animal bridges and underpasses at significant points on roads where wildlife often cross.

“Kangaroos, koalas, and other wildlife are increasingly road accident victims. As Melbourne expands to accommodate its human population growth program, suburban development pushes them out onto roads. This is planning negligence. " Ms Wilson said the AWPC says has repeatedly engaged with councils in devising detailed plans for wildlife corridors but no state government has cooperated with these plans “despite obligations to protect wildlife under the Fauna and Flora Guarantee Act”.

Ms Wilson said the AWPC will be seeking a meeting with the state government “to negotiate for wildlife corridors instead of culling”.

Frisky ‘fairies’ live lives of torrid affairs and deceit A SWEET and dainty backyard buddy on the Mornington Peninsula proves you just can't judge a book by its cover. As breeding season kicks off for cute little fairy-wrens, so begins their long list of illicit affairs.

There are nine species of fairywrens in Australia currently partnering for the breeding season. The most common wren in Victoria is the superb fairy-wren.

“Fairy-wrens are super cute with beautiful feathers and have delightful personalities, so it's no wonder the superb fairy-wren was voted Australia's favourite bird,” said Susanna Bradshaw, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife.

“But behind their fluffy appearance, there lies a tangled web of torrid affairs and deceit. They appear to have a picture-perfect family unit with mum and dad busily rearing their young each year. Some of their offspring even stick around to help feed the next brood of chicks.

“Dad will go to great lengths to protect the family territory from other males, while also sharing child-rearing duties. However, just before dawn, the illusion of family duty and marital fidelity is shattered.

“Both mum and dad will often disappear to neighbouring territories, before the sun rises, for romantic forays with other fairy-wrens. Mum may seek out a suitor who recently gave her a pretty flower as a gift, while dad may court other females.

“This unashamed infidelity isn't just a one-off; it is so common that up to three-quarters of all fairywren broods can be sired by other males. It's not surprising they are the most unfaithful birds in the animal kingdom.

“Being unfaithful in the bird world

Cute as a button: Superb fairy-wrens have a voracious appetite for insects and are an asset in gardens. Pictures: Patrick K

is a lot more common than many people realise. It has benefits as laying lots of eggs fertilised by different males can increase the genetic health of the fairy-wren population.”

Fairy-wren facts

Despite their size, they have a voracious appetite for insects and will eat large quantities of garden bugs.

When the temperature drops, their cuteness factor increases exponentially as they huddle together on branches for warmth.

Males may not look that tough but

they're very brave. When most bird species hear a predator birds calling they will go quiet and try to work out whether they need to take cover.

However the male fairy-wren decides this is a great time to loudly sing his own song, probably because he knows more birds will be listening.

Fairy-wrens are incredibly smart.

They learn to recognise the alarm calls of many other species, and flee to safety. Scientists liken this being able to understanding multiple foreign languages.

How to attract fairy-wrens to the garden • Keep pet cats inside or install an outdoor cat run. Cats kill and eat many fairy-wrens, even if they're well fed and not hungry.

• Plant dense bushes in a corner of the garden – lemon bottlebrush, lemonscented darwinia, and hakeas.

• Small, insect-attracting flowers are great for males who offer pretty petals to females. These plants also attract insects for them to eat. Try croweas, tea trees and dwarf flowering gums.

• A birdbath near dense bushes will entice them as they like to be close to bushes so they can escape predators.

• Tall trees surrounded by open spaces favour predatory and aggressive birds such as butcher-birds and noisy miners, which chase away fairy-wrens.

The foundation's Backyard Buddies free program includes a monthly email with tips to make your backyard inviting and safe for native animals.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Melbourne boys home re-opens Compiled by Melissa Walsh A full report of the Shepherd-Jones wedding, at Tyabb will appear in our next issue. *** THE drawing for the suit from Messrs Lincoln Stuart of Melbourne will take place in Somerville Park on Saturday next, at the Garden Fete. *** THE Cigar bowl and tray raffled by Miss Butler in aid of Langwarrin Soldiers’ Xmas Dinner, was won by Mr A. Patterson, Davey St Frankston. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing up sale of furniture and sundries at their rooms, Bay St, on Wednesday next, also a number of good lines of poultry. *** GOOD entries have been received by the secretary of the Frankston New Year’s Day. Sports for the various events on the programme, and given fine weather the success which has attended these gatherings in the past should again be realised. *** A NEW Year’s Fair in aid of the funds of the Roman Catholic Church, Frankston will be opened in the Hall on New Year’s Eve, at 3 p.m. and also on New Year’s Night at 5 o’clock, at which there will be amusements provided for both young and old. *** MISS Hilda Brewer, the famous Melbourne singer of patriotic songs, who made such a good impression in

Somerville at a church concert some months ago, will sing at the Garden Fete on Dec. 18th, at the open air concert in the evening. *** MRS Geo. Griffeth, of “Two Bays’ has generously presented the Patriots’ League with a beautiful solid gold watch and chain in velvet case, to be raffled at the Garden Fete to be held in Somerville Park on Dec. 18th.

The tickets will be on sale and the watch on view at the gate of the park during the afternoon and evening of the Fete. *** THE official opening of the Somerville Mechanics’ Institute takes place on December 31st, 1915. All the prominent residents of the district are invited to be present and the ladies have conceived the idea of holding a luncheon, at the modest charge of 1s., to help the funds of the institute and to assist in paying off the debt.

The ladies of the district are cordially invited to bring refreshments and the luncheon will be under the management of the Red Cross Committee.

In the evening a Children’s Concert and Cantata under the capable management of Mrs Geo. Reed, will be given. *** CHILD Life. The Nation’s Greatest Asset.

Owing to the War it is more than ever necessary that the Child Life of the nation should be safeguarded, for children are the Nation’s greatest asset. Not Britain only, but the Em-

pire has paid her heavy toll in lives.

From Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Britain’s loyal sons have come: many never to return. Whom have we to take their place ? Only the children.

The Empire rests today on childhood’s shoulders, and it is our duty to fit those shoulders for their task.

Thousands of children die in this land of ours who could be saved; thousands of children grow up stunted, warped diseased, who with proper care would grow up healthy and useful. It behoves us to see that not a single child be lost who can be saved.

The safety of the Empire in the years to come depends on the children. The Charter of Dr Barnardo’s Homes is— No destitute child ever refused admission. 1,577 children were rescued last year.

In one fortnight recently 92 orphan and destitute boys and girls were added to this big family, which average 7,480 children. 1,560 Barnardo Boys are serving in the forces, and the list is growing daily. Will you assist this National Charity to hold out the hand of help to every forlorn little one who needs their aid? *** THE application for the renewal of a wine licence at Somerville was heard at Mornington Licensing Court on Friday. Mr Cook appeared on behalf of the applicant, and raised certain preliminary objections which the Court would not consider till the adjourned sitting of the Court. Inspector Jones appeared on behalf of po-

lice, who opposed the renewal, and Mr Rostron appeared on behalf of certain Somerville residents who also opposed the licence being renewed.

The hearing was adjourned till 23rd inst. *** THE friends of Mr W. Robertson, of Langwarrin, will regret to hear of the loss he has sustained in the death of his brother and his wife, which sad event took place within a fortnight of each other. The deceased, Mr Jas Robertson, met with an accident some four months ago, while stepping out of his buggy his foot slipped, on the kerbing and he fell against a verandah post with his shoulder which brought on blood poisoning and resulted in the arm having to be amputated at the shoulder blade. He never recovered from the effect of the accident but lingered till the 26th November when he passed away at the age of 53 years.

The close attention given to the deceased by his wife during his illness, brought on dropsy, from which complaint Mrs Robertson succumbed on 11th December and was buried exactly a fortnight after her husband.

For the last five years Mr Robertson kept the Werribee Cup Hotel Ascot Vale. Previous to which he had the Globe Hotel in Swanston St and Douglas Hotel, Bourke St, on the site where the theatre now stands.

He was the son of Mr Robert Robertson, the head of one of the oldest established firms of plumbers in Melbourne. Two sons, aged 22 and 18

years, are left to mourn the loss of their parents. *** HARVESTING operations are now in full swing. In almost every instance very heavy crops have resulted. Fruit crops also promise to be abundant. *** SNAKES have been unusually prevalent this year. Donald Clarke, farm employee of Mulready Bros, was bitten on Monday night on the finger as he took a sheaf of hay off the stook.

Mr L. Berryman rendered 1st aid, and took the man to Dr Somers. He is progressing satisfactorily. *** THE Red Cross League and Progress Association combined are proposing to entertain a contingent of wounded soldiers on the beach on a date to be fixed. *** AN appeal to the Editor. The Melbourne Boys Home has been reopened under the supervision of the Matron Mrs W. Minton who will welcome visitors to see through the Home on any afternoon. The Matron would be thankful for any donations of clothing goods or toys to brighten the Xmas tides for these less unfortunate little ones. We are thankful to your readers for past kindness to the boys of the Home and trust that this appeal will merit sympathy.—Yours etc., M. Minton, Hon Sec.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The sheer, undeniable brilliance of you

By Stuart McCullough GENIUS. It’s a word we use all too sparingly.

Mozart was a genius, Little Richard too. Picasso was a genius even though he was a pretty awkward human being. Catch 22 is a work of genius although people less commonly bestow that honour on its author, Joseph Heller. It’s a mercurial kind of business. Generally speaking, ‘genius’ is a label we reserve for certain fields of endeavour such as literature, music, art and the like.

But there’s no good reason for being so stingy.

Instead, I think there’s a case for celebrating brilliance where you find it.

Is it possible to be a bona fide genius when it comes to fish and chips? I firmly believe it is. Mozart and Picasso would probably tell you otherwise, but neither of them knew the true transcendental pleasure that comes from flake, minimum chips and a splash of vinegar. It’s a scientific fact that the greatest fish and chips in the Universe can always be found at the fish and chip shop nearest your house, but in my case, it’s actually true. The front window says it all: Bill is back. His name is on the window because Bill’s work with hot oil and deep fried food can fairly be described as nothing short of ground breaking.

Ideally, the work of Bill would receive broader recognition. We have all kinds of awards for excellence; for journalists, writers and footballers alike. But we need to think a little bigger and reward accomplishment in other fields too.

‘Best flake: grilled’ ought to be a trophy. ‘The lifetime achievement award for minimum chips’ is an honour that ought to be bestowed with an oversized cheque. In a perfect world, there would be a televised Brownlow-style vote count on a round by round basis for ‘Best Dim Sims – steamed or fried’.

Each day, I stop at the same coffee shop on my way to work. Once upon a time, people who made coffee were referred to simply as ‘coffeemakers’.

But at some point, that all changed and the term ‘barista’ came into vogue. I’m not sure what the qualifications are to be a barista, other than a man-bun, a beard and having recently returned from a year’s backpacking through South America. But it’s not like that at my coffee shop. She has neither a man-bun nor a beard, but she makes a remarkable flat white. If that does not sound like the kind of skill that ought to attract a term like ‘genius’, think for a moment about every lousy cup of coffee you ever tipped over your lips in sufferance and then tell me that the ability to create a truly great skinny latte doesn’t deserve a plaque or, possibly, a ticker tape parade.

That you are a genius in one area doesn’t mean you’re brilliant at everything, though. There’s a bakery down the street and, frankly, most of the products are terrible. I once bought a piece of hedgehog that was so rock-solid that it could have been used to pave a landing strip for large aircraft. There are times, late at night, when I truly wonder whether or not the remnants of that hedgehog are yet to be fully dissolved by my digestive system; such was its indestructible nature.

While creating a cake that cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons may well be genius of a sort, that’s not where their true talent lies.

The very same bakery that makes inedible hedgehog and vanilla slices that look as though they’ve just had a rough night out on the tiles also make the greatest lamingtons known to humanity. This is not something I say lightly. Lamingtons were my grandmother’s signature dish. She perfected the art of the lamington after first learning to cook them as part of Australia’s test for new migrants. Back then, if you could whip up either a pavlova or lamington, you were immediately granted citizenship. I’m not sure where our local baker managed to stumble across the recipe for his lamingtons, but they are supernaturally fluffy and delicious. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that he has practically re-invented the art form.

As for me, I’m not a genius at fish and chips.

Nor am I a genius at making a cup of coffee or lamingtons, notwithstanding that I’ve been known to consume both from time to time. My skills, it seems, lie elsewhere. If I am a genius at anything, it’s probably at getting up early. That may not sound like much of a talent, but it’s certainly come in handy over the past few weeks in managing the dog. But that’s not all. Two weeks ago, I performed possibly the greatest piece of reverse parking of all time. The space was tight and I guided the vehicle to within kissing distance of the gutter in a single attempt. Some might call that luck. But you and I know better.

Given a choice, we’d all love to paint great paintings, write brilliant books and compose music that endures through the ages. Most of us won’t, though. But it doesn’t mean that our contributions, whether large or small, don’t all help to keep this big old world spinning on its axis in their own particular way. So let me be the first to say it: you’re a genius. I’m not sure in which field, but I’m certain that you’re great at something that makes a difference. And so on behalf of me and everyone else, let me simply say to you: thanks. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Frankston Times 14 December 2015

SEXY, SIZZLING AND SAUCY – SPIEGELTENT IS BACK

By Melissa Walsh The Spiegeltent is back with a bang, rolling into Sorrento all the way from Belgium and knocking audiences out with its raunchy night of fun with the show, Limbo.

Local media and special guests attended the fabulous opening night last Thursday, greeted with bubbles on arrival and a magical journey back in time to the sexy days of vaudeville and cabaret.

and producing shows, is delighted about the reaction to the new show, which took lucky members of the audience to another world, where acrobats, musicians and dancers galore rocked the Spiegeltent stage.

After a sellout season last summer, the dream of restaurateur and theatrical producer, James McPherson, continues with the second annual Spiegeltent production, Limbo.

“Spiegeltent is also a tribute to George Coppin, the Father of Sorrento, himself a comedian, entrepreneur and politician,” says James, who continues to dedicate the fabulous experience to the late great Mr Coppin whose love of Sorrento, hard work and dedication made it the holiday destination it is today.

James, who had worked a lifetime in the entertainment industry doing PR for theatre

James first fell in love with the Spiegeltent when he saw it in Melbourne many years ago.

Rumour has it that the mirrors were positioned so that guests could make discreet eye contact with one another, and only a handful of these mirrored tents are left in the world today.

Guests at the opening night included local media, sponsors and VIP guests, with Geoffrey Briscoe from BMW, Miss Australia International Jessica Martini, Emma and Travis from Neighbours, Rebecca from Flinders Hotel, director Scott Maidment, and producers, James McPherson, Simon Myers, Tony Healey and Belinda Visser.

ON THE BEACH A Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition - 11 December 2015 – 28 February 2016 On the Beach considers the place of the beach within Australian life by bringing together paintings and photographs by some of Australia’s acclaimed Modernists with works by contemporary artists. The exhibition considers the ways in which people relate to the beach, its place in understandings of national identity and its history as a contested site.

On the Beach features works by Arthur Boyd, Gordon Bennett, Daniel Boyd, Max Dupain, Charles Meere, Tracey Moffatt, David Moore, Sidney Nolan, Polixeni Papapetrou, John Perceval, Scott Redford, Jeffrey Smart, Albert Tucker, Guan Wei and Anne Zahalka.

The exhibition also features a series of photographs by George Caddy showing the lost art of beachobatics. From 1936 to 1941 a group of acrobatic men and women from a gymnastic club would gather on Bondi Beach wearing the most daring costumes of the day, and form their sun-tanned bodies into complex human pyramids. On Thursday 18 February Paul Caddy will talk about how he discovered a box of his father’s photographs that have become legendary images.

During summer, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery has a great line-up of school holidays activities for children of all ages. Drop in any time during the exhibition to contribute to our fabulous On the beach community creation. MPRG is also running January school holiday workshops for 8–16 year olds and is hosting the National Gallery

of Victoria kids on tour program. Children can enjoy activities for the Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei and Hermannsburg Potters exhibitions, 16–26 January. Visit:www.mprg. mornpen.vic.gov.au/events to find out what is happening, when!

Twenty one schools across the Mornington Peninsula have participated in the 3rd annual Friends Art Award ‘Life’s a Beach’.

Winners are on display at MRPG and commended entries are displayed in libraries in Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud, Bendigo Bank, Mount Eliza, and selected cafes in Mount Eliza and Sorrento.

Sponsored by Hanks Orthodontics, Mount Eliza.

Location: Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington Gallery Hours: Tuesday–Sunday 10am–5pm Exhibition admission fees: $4 adults / $2 concession General information: 03 5975 4395 www.mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au

Baxter start well in must-win game PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER has placed itself in a strong position to win its final match of 2015 against Somerville.

Currently in eighth place on the MPCA Provincial ladder, a loss here would really put them behind the eight ball in 2016, leaving them at least two games out. With the competition so tight, picking up 24 points is a tall order. Nonetheless, the home side is most certainly in this contest after winning the toss and electing to bat.

A 154-run partnership between Chris Brittain (79) and Dale Irving (76) really set Baxter up to post a solid

total. With Ben Brittain hitting 41 and keeper Daniel Lanati contributing 21, Baxter was able to post a total of 9/281.

Considering the form that Chamara Sattambi and Irving are in with the ball, that total looks defendable. Matty Roach was the best of the Somerville bowlers, getting through 21 overs and finishing with a return of 5/48.

Langwarrin has set Long Island a tricky total, but considering the depth of batting talent at the Islanders’ disposal, they should chalk up another win. The Kangaroos had a number of players who started well, but none were able to maintain. Matt Prosser opened with a top score of 32, Simon McEvoy got 29 and Mal Coutts fin-

ished unbeaten on 29. The Islanders’ bowlers made it difficult to score, restricting the home side to 8/178 in its 80 overs. Chris Hocking bowled 27 overs and finished with 3/47, while Mike Reynolds claimed 2/16 from 10 overs.

Pines were looking for an outright win to keep its season alive against Rye, but it almost backfired. The Piners have already picked up the win after bowling Rye out for 80 in 33 overs and then posting a score of 7/98 in the next 34 overs. At one stage, Pines were in all sorts of trouble at 2/1, 4/13 and 6/19. Jarred Coad (37) and Pat Jackson (42 not out) put on a partnership of 79 to steer the home side to

a first-innings win. Tom Baron was superb for his side, collecting 4/48, while Andrew Dunn claimed 2/24.

Crib Point has left Sorrento with plenty of work to do, scoring 7/317 on Saturday at Crib Point Recreation Reserve. Luke Herrington was at his vintage best with 110, while Ricky Thompson hit an unbeaten 40 in honour of his Dad, who passed last week.

Jacob Cook also hit 40, batting ninth.

Chris King bowled 25 overs for the Sorras with a return of 4/101, while Hayden Bell picked up 3/52 in his first game back. Sorrento faced the last over of the day and will resume this coming Saturday on 0/2 with Corey Harris and Nick Jewell at the crease.

Mt Eliza has set Moorooduc a valiant 234 for victory after positing 9/233 on Saturday at Moorooduc Reserve. Jordan Fuhrmann was superb in his third match, top-scoring with an unbeaten 86 despite deserving a ton.

Cameron Bailey was the pick of the Ducs’ bowlers with 4/44 off 23 overs.

Mornington has set Peninsula Old Boys a winning total of 231 runs at Peninsula School.

The top four Old Boys were all over the wickets with the ball. Zac Fillipone opened to claim 2/46, with Adam Gailitis snaring 2/42, Adam Jones 3/35 and Jon Forrest 2/59.

Hillmen domination continues DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE Red Hill steam train shows no signs of slowing down after scoring 9/301 against Mt Martha on Saturday at the Red Hill Showgrounds.

The Hillmen rely on no individual to win games of cricket, with all hands on deck whether batting, bowling or out in the field. After scoring more than 300 runs on Saturday, you’d be forgiven for assuming the likes of Simon Dart and Matt Merifield were amongst the runs.

Either that or the Shaws, at the top of the order, dominated.

But you should never assume anything with the Hillmen.

While Riley Shaw did score 42, the real action came from Brent Martin, who scored 74 to back up his recent 46-run effort, while Glenn Collett hit 54 and Andrew Mock 40. The latter are number eight and nine batsmen, yet, they scored almost 100 runs between them.

Michael Clavin was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers, with 4/51 from 17 overs, but Jordan Pomeroy was also back to his best with 3/60.

Carrum is still roughly 50 runs short of making a game of it against Baden Powell. While at the end of the day runs on the board is what it’s all about, the Braves wouldn’t be concerned at all chasing 225 for victory. John Mitchell opened with 77 for the Lions on Saturday to be the top scorer, while Lachy Dobson was again called in to get some runs, scoring 40 in spite of batting eighth.

Main Ridge has some work to do with the bat this week, going up against Pearcedale at Tractor Park. The Panthers made 7/261

on Saturday after being sent in to bat by the Ridge. Brad Trotter opened with 80 while skipper Kaine Smith hit 71 and Luke Jennings contributed 46 on debut.

Adam Bryant was a stand-out bowler for Main Ridge, writing up 4/50.

At 5/35 against Boneo, Flinders were in a real spot of bother until evergreen Shane Beggs, one of the MPCA’s finest, strode out to the crease. With great support from Blake Hogan-Keogh (36) and Mitch Stansborough (28), Beggs was free to blast away, amassing an unbeaten 101 to help his side to 9/228. Cameron Williams snared 4/53 for the Pandas while Daniel Wilson claimed 4/39.

Seaford missed out on an easy opportunity to post a big score in their derby match. Thanks to a middle-order collapse, the Seaford Tigers remain competitive.

Seaford were cruising with 0/80 early on before Paul Hartle fell for 45 and Ryan McQueen for 32.

That score line quickly became 5/111 – Scott Manders scored 28 and the tail wagged to help Seaford to 8/212.Ash Mills claimed 3/21 from 21 overs for the Tigers while Corey Hand and David James picked up two wickets apiece.

A total of 13 wickets fell on day one of the match between Delacombe Park and Heatherhill.

The Hills rolled the home side for 150. Steve Anderson top scored for the Parkers with 50 while Daniel Ballard scored 23 against his old crew. Jason Hinde, Brett Maxwell and Jordan Creely each snared three wickets for the Hills. Heatherhill is now struggling at 3/22, while Dean Blight for Delacombe Park has 2/9 from five overs.

North and South combine

By Toe Punt THE Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League will be fielding only one team in the Vic Championships next season, shunning the traditional arrangement of both Nepean and Peninsula teams. AFL South Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand has been forced as AFL Victoria changed its Community Championships format to include both metropolitan and country leagues.

In light of this decision, the AFL South

East Commission decided that it would be in the best interest of the MPNFL to return to one representative side, ensuring they can compete strongly against the metropolitan leagues that have three or more divisions of players to select from. The MPNFL will play the Northern Football League in 2016, which has three divisions and 26 teams to choose players from.

In order to better compete, the Nepean and Peninsula teams will be amalgamated. No

coaches have been announced at this stage, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rumoured John Hynes has been given the nod ahead of Langwarrin and Dromana premiership coach Gavin Artico.

The MPNFL will play on Saturday, May 21 to have a shot at the title of number one ranking against either the Eastern Football League or Geelong Football Netball League.

Venue details will be released early in 2016.

By IT Gully HASTINGS will be digging deep for the win when it begins day two against Tyabb this Saturday. As the visitors, the Yabbies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare so well outside the familiar surroundings of the pond. The visitors lasted just 34.3 overs in their first innings and were bowled out for 55. Michael Edwards top scored with 14.

16-year-old Ryan McNamara was sensational for the Blues in only his third First XI game. McNamara bowled seven overs and finished with the impressive figures of 5/21.

Luke Hewitt snared 2/2 and Mitchell Floyd 2/11 from 12 overs.

The Blues didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much better with the bat, managing 92 in pursuit of quick runs, although Al Kristensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 39 did help. The Yabbies are 3/21 in their second innings, still 16 runs behind. Floyd picked up another couple of wickets.

Mark Snelling smashed a brutal 180 runs for Carrum Downs in their match against

Frankston YCW. Snelling hit 22 fours and five sixes in his innings, while Nathan Phillips scored 58 and Ryan Lynch 43.

The Stonecats will be chasing 342 for victory this week after the Cougars finished on 6/341.

Rosebud has set Tootgarook 240 for victory after scoring 239 on Saturday at Olympic Park. Billy Quigley hit a high score for the Buds with 42 and Brad Glenn hit 34. Zac Stevenson was the pick of the Frogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/85.

Dromana will be looking for an outright victory against Ballam Park. The Knights were obliterated after just 95 runs, with Aaron Kaddatz taking 3/32. The Hoppers will resume at 6/152 after Darren Kerr made 41 and Jack Fowler 25.

The match between Balnarring and Skye will go right down to the wire. The Saints batted first on Saturday and made 179. Mitch Kleinig top scored with an unbeaten 6, while Pat Clinch claimed 5/37 for Skye. The home side is currently 2/39 in reply.
