The wonder of it all ...

YES, while I’m a horse, of course, but what about that thing rumbling along outside the paddock? It came through here, barely taking a glance in my direction and then just slipped under the fence.

Faniciful of course, but what do animals thing about each other? What does a horse have in common with an echidna?

Or, what does a horse even think about an animal covered in spines that uses a needle-like tongue to scoop ants and other small bugs into its mouth?

Does the horse know the echidna and the platypus are the onl;y egg-laying mammals? Not likely. And it’s even less likely to give a whinny!

So many questions to which we will never know the answer.

But the spectacle of the meeting of these two animals is a sight to behold, and one that photoragpher Yanni couldn’t resist taking time out to capture when driving across the peninsula last week on another assignment.

Food trucks move to VCAT Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE shire council has been embarrassed by revelations it could have stopped the controversial Rye food truck park.

Food truck traders under the banner of Australian Mobile Food Vendors Group set up on a vacant block on the corner of Weir St and Point Nepean

Rd last November. The move sparked angry protests from Rye traders with Mornington Peninsula Shire saying it could not stop the food trucks.

Signs protesting the food trucks were erected on fences with one painted on a shop roof.

Now it has been revealed the food truck park needed a planning permit.

Rye eatery Baha Tacos retained Portsea legal firm Moreheads Lawyers

in early January to see if it could stop the enterprise.

An application for a hearing in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal was lodged on 8 January and the case will start on 20 February.

Since Moreheads took on the case, the firm has been contacted by one of the shire’s legal firms, Maddocks, which told Moreheads the shire now wanted to take over the case as it had

Riders take to the road for Luke

Asian tourists lift visitor numbers MORE international tourists visited the Mornington Peninsula over summer than last season with a large percentage using the region as a “gateway” to Phillip Island and the Great Ocean Road.

Peninsula tourism operators reported that visitors spent between 10-20 per cent more, and more bookings were made in advance.

These and other trends were reported to shire councillors last week by the shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble in his annual “summer report”.

“Tourists complained less, perhaps due to improvement in quality of services and products,” he said.

The increase in international visitors came particularly from Asian markets.

Statistics on the number of daytrippers scooting down Peninsula Link freeway have not yet been compiled.

There were more accommodation

bookings coming via popular online channels such as wotif and bookings. com, and the average accommodation spend per night increased from $230 to $247.

The number of tourism website “page views” was up 15 per cent.

As up to 75,000 people “migrated” to the peninsula and its coast during December and January – boosting the population from 150,000 to as high as 225,000 – the shire collected almost 800,000 domestic garbage bins and more than 405,000 domestic recycling bins.

This represented 6378 tonnes of garbage and 4823 tonnes of recycled items.

The municipality’s foreshore camping sites were 100 per cent occupied by about 6000 people at a time, with the total number of campers topping 100,000 for the first time.

“The campers have really acknow-

ledged and appreciated all the enhancements to facilities, cleaning and operations,” Mr Trimble said.

“The 2014-15 peak has been a huge success, with maintenance, cleaning and general issues substantially down.”

Mr Trimble said the shire’s water leak detection program using 13 monitoring devices in various foreshore buildings had saved water and “reduced associated costs”.

“Previously, leaks were only able to be detected when the quarterly water use reports were received. This meant a leak could be wasting water for months before it was detected and fixed.”

About 1000 campers attended a camping safety awareness night run with Victoria Police, CFA and SES, and it was a success, he said.

The controversial food van park at Rye had now gone to the state planning tribunal, which would “adjudicate on

both the use of the land and the fixtures on the land”.

Mr Trimble said the shire’s aged and disability services unit had been busy before and after Christmas with community care workers providing 21,011 hours of service to 4056 clients. Meals on Wheels volunteers had delivered 2837 meals. More than 300 seniors were served Christmas lunch at gatherings in Hastings, Rosebud and Mornington, supported by volunteers, organisations and peninsula businesses.

The shire’s libraries were busy, with information queries up seven per cent, “eResource” loans up 147 per cent, computer sessions up 6.5 per cent and WiFi use up 38 per cent.

Mornington and Rosebud libraries had more than 1000 people each on many days. More than 1600 children registered for the summer reading club.

AUSTRALIAN of the Year Rosie Batty is taking time out from official duties for a motorbike ride.

The inaugural Luke Batty Memorial Ride was held last year three weeks after 11-year-old Luke was killed by his father after cricket training at Tyabb.

Since then, Rosie batty has become a high profile symbol for the growing anti-domestic violence movement.

And with her being named by the Prime Minister Tony Abbott as Australian of the Year and a Royal Commission into domestic violence about to begin in Victoria, she is guaranteed never to be far from the limelight.

Ms Batty will be a pillion passenger on a bike ridden by a member of the Dandenong Hogs motorcycle club for the second ride dedicated to her son.

Motorcycle rider James Taylor organised last year’s ride after going to the Tyabb murder scene a week after Luke’s death and “seeing families just standing around”.

“I thought ‘how can I change this’,” Mr Taylor said last week.

“I organised the ride to pay respect to Luke and make a statement on how men should behave.

“No one’s perfect and we’ve all been in trouble. But you live and learn - there’s got to be a better way.”

Mr Taylor says 70 motorbikes took part last year but estimates there could be up to 300 leaving from the car park near Frankston pier on Saturday 14 March.

They will have a police escort for the 37 kilometre ride to Rosebud Church of Christ where “prayers will be spoken and strong words said”.

Among the speakers are antiviolence campaigner Phil Cleary and retired Australian heavyweight kickboxer and eight time world champion “Stan the Man” Longinidis.

Mr Taylor, a member of the Two Bays branch of the Ulysses motorcycle club, said the Luke Batty ride would leave Frankston at 9am Saturday 14 March.

MP ‘waging war on dog walkers’: minister Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au NEPEAN MP Martin Dixon has challenged the state government to enforce a total ban on dogs in Mornington Peninsula National Park to protect the endangered hooded plover.

But the Labor government’s environment minister Lisa Neville has categorised Mr Dixon’s call as “waging war on dog walkers”.

On Friday, Ms Neville told The News that Mr Dixon had previously supported dogs in the national park.

“In 2013, Parks Victoria completed extensive community consultation to further protect threatened species in the Mornington Peninsula National Park, which Mr Dixon participated in and supported my predecessor’s report allowing dogs to continue,” she said.

“Instead of waging a war on dog walkers, Parks Victoria has increased the area where it is prohibited to have dogs and worked with the local community to ensure threatened species are protected in the park.

“I am aware that there are issues with some dog owners not using leads that put the hooded plover at risk.

“I will be asking Parks Victoria to

improve monitoring of this and will see how the monitoring and enforcement goes and continuing to allow dogs.”

Mr Dixon, the education minister in the defeated Coalition government, made the call on the first day of Parliament on Tuesday last week, which was foreshadowed by The News (“Ban dogs: MP’s call”, 10/2/15).

The Opposition MP, who retained his southern peninsula-based seat at last November’s election, used his one opportunity to address the Parliament by asking the government to remove the anomaly that currently allowed dogs to be walked in the national park.

The area was controlled by the former Shire of Flinders before being declared a national park in 1988 but dog walking continues to be permitted.

In September 2013, Parks Victoria banned dogs from several of the park’s surf beaches after years of lobbying by conservationists and bird groups such as BirdLife Australia but the ban has failed, with fewer hooded plover chicks reaching flying stage (and able to escape threats) than before the restrictions.

Mr Dixon told the Parliament the national park was “a key nesting site” of

the threatened bird.

“Recent season have seen a further decline in nesting success,” he said.

He said the Coalition government, through Parks Victoria, had commissioned BirdLife Australia to prepare a report about protecting plovers.

“Released late last year, the report found that the decline of the hooded plover in Mornington Peninsula National Park is directly correlated to the policy of allowing dogs on the same beaches where the birds nest,” Mr Dixon said.

“Unfortunately, 20 years of educational efforts, signage and partial restrictions have not resulted in im-

proved compliance as many dogs are still unleashed or on the beach outside the allowed hours.

“Consistent with other national parks, I call on the government to enforce a ban on all dogs within the national park as soon as possible” Conservationists cautiously welcomed the MP’s statement. “Authorities did not have sufficient resources to properly enforce the partial dog ban so if a full ban is introduced, there needs to be money to support it,” said Malcolm Brown, who has been lobbying for better protection of the plover for many years.

“We are close to the end of the breed-

Rye Beach pollution ‘hot spot’: Monash “Monash University has reported that the results so far indicate Rye Beach is a “hot spot” for bacterial contamination with higher E.coli levels than other Port Phillip beaches.” (E.coli can be an indication of faecal pollution.)

“Further investigations are being undertaken to determine the source of contamination.”

Meanwhile, South East Water’s Peninsula ECO sewerage project is almost halfway through its expected 30-month construction period, installing mains sewage for 16,000 properties between Rye and Portsea that had septic tanks. The project, one of the largest in Australia, started in late 2013. It is expected to markedly reduce ground water pollution.

Toilets at R J Rowley Reserve in Rye were connected to the system last October, which will no doubt please people who attend the Rye Gift each year and previously had to deal with an unwanted annual “gift” – clogged toilets.

THE Great Peninsula Paddle will take place at Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club, 10am, Sunday 22 February.

It’s the third of four events in the Reclink Australia National Paddle Series.

The community event is for paddle enthusiasts of all ages and abilities to have fun on the water while raising funds to aid the work of Reclink Australia. It is being presented by Australia Post.

“I am a passionate believer in the physical and mental benefits of exercise,” paddle series ambassador Heath Meldrum said. “I am thrilled to be able to support an organisation that provides sport and recreation opportunities for disadvantaged people.”

Reclink Australia CEO John Ballis said the paddle series, in its sixth year, was a “much anticipated and highly successful summer event series with ever-growing participant numbers registering to compete across three states”.

Registrations open at 8am: Visit reclink.org/paddle. Racing starts at 10am and the first paddlers are expected to cross the finish line at 10.45am. The Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club is at 3154 Pt Nepean Rd, Sorrento.

POLLUTION of Rye Beach is being investigated by the state Environment Protection Authority and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s environmental health team.

The probe was revealed to the council on Monday last week by the shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble during his annual “summer report”.

He said the two bodies were “conducting a risk assessment of Rye Beach to determine possible sources of bacterial contamination detected”.

“As part of the assessment, the environmental health team is assisting Monash University and Melbourne Water in a bacterial water sampling program around the Rye Beach stormwater outfall, including sampling from septic systems and groundwater bores,” Mr Trimble said.

Twenty-four beach water samples and five drain water samples had been taken so far with “further samples to be taken twice weekly until the end of February”.

ing season and just three chicks have fledged [reached flying stage]. This is the lowest count for several years.”

Many dog owners who use the national park will oppose the push for a total ban, as they have done in the past. Some claim ravens, seagulls and foxes are responsible for plover deaths but this has been discounted by the BirdLife Australia report. Tourists with dogs who ignore signs have also been blamed rather than locals.

High tides three weeks ago destroyed about 10 nests but six females have already made new nests.

There are 32 fauna species listed as endangered, vulnerable or near threatened living in the national park.

Short films draw wide praise ABOUT 3500 people packed Rosebud’s Village Green on the foreshore for the Peninsula Short Film Fest, delighting organisers and cementing it as one of the peninsula’s premier arts events after just four years.

The films were streamed to Federation Square in Melbourne.

Festival founder Steve Bastoni said the event generated a “fantastic, friendly community feel” and the galaxy of acting stars who came down to Rosebud “loved it”.

Bastoni, a Rosebud resident and award-winning actor (On the Beach, The Matrix Reloaded, The Water Diviner, and Blue Murder), started the festival in 2011 to give his acting students a forum for their work, and it has grown like topsy and generated a buzz in the Australian film and TV industry.

“Short films are a great way for emerging actors, directors and writers to hone their craft,” he said.

Filmmakers did not need huge budgets to create sophisticated films.

“The 88-minute feature film Tangerine, which debuted at Sundance Film Festival in the United States last month, was shot entirely on an iPhone 5S with an anamorphic adaptor lens that gives footage a cinematic look,” he said.

The filmmaker also used a stabiliser and an app called Filmic Pro. The adaptor lens was made by US company Moondog Labs.

Judging the 12 short film finalists this year were Michala Banas (Upper Middle Bogan, Neighbours, Party Tricks, Winners and Losers) who

Kerry Packer’s War, Beaconsfield, Offspring), Samuel Johnson (The Secret Life of Us, Rush, Underbelly, Paper Giants) and Nadine Garner (City Homicide, The Book of Revelations, The Doctor Blake Mysteries).

Lachy Hulme and Samuel Johnson were judges at the inaugural festival, and Hulme has returned every year.

Bastoni said crowd favourite was Kai Smythe’s Loving Myself, “a ribald, raunchy take on new age attitudes”, which took second prize and won best actor for Smythe.

Festival winner was Noddy, directed

by Ben Plazzer, who won best director, and written by Ann Murison, who won best screenplay.

“Plazzer’s triple treat was made even sweeter by the presentation of the award by legendary film director Fred Schepisi,” Bastoni said.

Third was Palindromes by Nicholas Colla. Best cinemaphotography went to The First Stone, created by Rach Moors-Chantry and Andrew Tomazos.

Change of mind occurs too late THE second Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting of 2015 was short and sweet. One main item of business in the agenda – “What Happened Over Summer” – and an object lesson in why one should not speak with one’s mouth full, even if it’s only a mint, which appeared to rattle over the speaker’s teeth, causing odd pauses in verbal delivery.

But let us move swiftly on. Communications manager Todd Trimble presented his account of summer activities around the municipality, from bushfires and beach bashes to … CW confesses to not being as attentive as a Watcher should be, possibly lulled into a summer reverie by Mr Trimble’s mellifluous delivery. Luckily, it is available as a recording on the shire website.

Mr Trimble did start by offering an apology for the second word in the title of his opus. “Happened”, he said, had been pointed out as only partly appropriate. “Occurred” was to be preferred.

He would probably liked to have attributed this to “an idiot pedant fogey” in the gallery, but he is far too well bred. The fogey had argued that lightning or a shark attack “happen” – no warning, spontaneous – but meetings and suchlike “occur”, being events arranged and organised in advance.

Most dictionaries are now using the words interchangeably, to their discredit, the fogey grumbled.

Pedants battle, Quixote-like, for the purity of the language by insisting on correct use of such commonly misused words as “uninterested” (not interested) and “disinterested” (neutral, objective).

The battle has been utterly lost with “fulsome”, whose meaning has completely reversed over the decades. Readers are invited to submit their favourite misused word.

Possibly the most immediate item of news was acknowledgement of the passing earlier on 9 February of Gary John Howard, long time council watcher and community worker in many capacities.

He had sat in this gallery many a time over many a year, alongside his mate Barry Robinson – they were dubbed Baz ’n’ Gaz – the senior bank executive and the chartered accountant, bane of the

finance department with their pestilent stiletto-sharp questions. Gary would interject just loudly enough: “Resign,” he would say, or “It’s/you’re a disgrace.”

CW makes this tribute to his friend, in words learned and savoured before he met Gary at Hampton High in the early 1960s: Let us now praise famous men – Men of little showing – For their work continueth, And their work continueth, Greater than their knowing.

Gary changed little from 17 to 71. The softly spoken sharp-tongued cricket devotee was always a substantial figure, intellectually and physically. Of course, he did not as a fifth-former deign to speak to a callow fourth-former, but we instantly knew each other on meeting again some half a century later.

His passing is dealt with elsewhere in these pages.

In a philosophical mood and in mourning, CW idly let his thoughts wander around the significance of the Acknowledgement of Traditional Land Owners, wondering why, in a spirit of reconciliation, the Boon Wurrung and the Bunurong cannot settle on just one name for their branch of the Kulin nation.

And pondering the significance of the acknowledgement being followed by a prayer to our white and alien god – certainly alien to those who walked this land for 40,000 years with their own gods before Europeans arrived and bestowed on them, in the name of our god, true Christian welfare and civilised blessings: grog, disease, theft of their land, their children and, frequently, their lives.

CW will be feeling more positive and cheerful by the time of the next ordinary council meeting, an occurrence at which you can share a nourishing meal with your councillor, on 23 February at the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club. Briefings at 5, meal at 6, council at 7. Remember to RSVP.

THE Nepean Ratepayers Association wants to meet the state government about the future of development in the Point Nepean National Park – particularly the proposed $40 million quarantine station development.

The letter, to Environment Minister Lisa Neville, refers to the government’s “concerns” with the Point Leisure Group’s proposal to build what has been described as “a world class tourist destination and education precinct”.

The development is intended to comprise a health and wellness retreat, a hot springs spa, a restaurant, a 108-room hotel, a conference centre and a “wellbeing” centre, on 64 hectares of land held under a 50-year lease.

The new Labor government had indicated it would renege on the lease signed with Point Leisure by the previous government.

The association’s letter to Ms Neville stated the group “has had a long involvement in planning for the park, particularly the quarantine station area, with Parks Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire and local state MP Martin Dixon”.

It said it viewed the proposal as “very

sensible and sensitive to all the conservation issues” as well as being commercially responsible. It would help restore the “deteriorating” heritage buildings and make the area, buildings and history of the site more accessible to the public.

“It will also create jobs and education opportunities that the Mornington Peninsula desperately needs,” the letter states, adding that a study by SGS Economics estimated a broader economic benefit from the proposal that could be “in the order of $22 million – $56 million”.

“With the current state of the economy in Australia with the federal and all state governments under budgetary pressures, common sense says that the Point Leisure Group’s proposal should proceed,” the association states.

The Boon Wurrung Foundation supports the development, hoping to “bring the indigenous history of Point Nepean to the forefront through interpretation, a dedicated indigenous museum onsite, indigenous tours, cultural programs, events and the many opportunities for employment”, according to a news release quoting foundation leader Carolyn Briggs.

End of line for station THE derelict lower station of the old Arthurs Seat chairlift is no more. A Parks Victoria contractor operating a tracked excavator flattened the building, which contained a kiosk and storage sheds, in less than a day on Monday last week but a Parks spokeswoman said the work would take about a week as there was asbestos material throughout the building.

Parks Victoria said the building was surplus to its needs.

The demolition also removed graffiti that appeared on Thursday 5 February: “No vandalism in our park” and “I am not the vandal”, presumably painted by a person or people opposed to the proposed $18 million gondola chairlift to be built

by Arthurs Seat Skylift, headed by former Australian of the Year Simon McKeon.

Parks “inherited” the building and its sealed car park from former chairlift owner Richard Hudson, who is trying to erect the open-seat chairlift in South Australia.

Anti-gondola group keeps up the fight COMMUNITY lobby group Save Our Seat (SOS) has not given up hope of stopping the proposed Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift despite its unsuccessful legal challenge late last year.

The group will hold a “Gondola information night” in Red Hill in early March to drum up support for its stance.

Kylie Greer of SOS said the develop-

ment would have a “large impact on all of the surrounding communities”.

“There are unacceptable bushfire risks for patrons and communities,” she said. “The fact the gondola will not be permitted to operate on Code Red fire danger days but can operate on days of extreme danger is a key concern.”

She said the group was concerned

about increased traffic 14 hours a day through Red Hill and Dromana, including past schools.

“The loss of summit parkland, which is public land that will be used for private gain, is a major concern as is the designated operating hours from 8am to 10pm, although reduced from the originally proposed 8am to midnight.”

Ms Greer said Save Our Seat had

framed five questions for the information night: Are you concerned about the impacts of the gondola on this area?

Are you concerned about the economic viability of the project?

Do you cherish the charm and natural beauty of the Mornington Peninsula?

Do you want to keep important open spaces free for visitors and communi-

Shire activist Gary Howard dies GARY Howard, a tireless community worker over many years, died on 9 February in Rosebud hospital after losing his battle with cancer. He was 71.

Gary, a chartered accountant, was prominent in scrutinising shire finances, particularly annual budgets, and for his questioning of officers, both in and out of council meetings, about how they presented shire accounts to the public.

Councillors are considering awarding an annual $1000 prize, the Gary Howard Prize, for the best submission to the shire budget, “to encourage community service and public participation in the area of public finances”.

A particular Howard bugbear was what he regarded – rightly – as a manipulation of the annual rates and charges announcement, which for years omitted the hefty municipal charge from the calculation. He and others had a win when the then shire finance chief, Marilyn Kearney, admitted the error and amended the figure.

Gary also criticised how the shire presented the financial position of Pelican Park, a consistent money loser, omitting interest and depreciation charges. His complaint to a state government body was upheld and the accounts were amended.

He was also the bane of the shire and his local councillors about roads and, in particular, roads with potholes. Once, after numerous complaints about how the soft bitumen outside his house was torn up as he entered and left his drive, he got a letter from the shire advising him not to turn the steering wheel during this manoeuvre.

This both irritated and amused him.

Many saw the soft and compassionate side of Gary, including those with whom he tended the foreshores of McCrae and Rosebud. He boasted of his expertise in planting and maintaining coastal banksia, and took a proprietorial interest in the area.

Many more gained the benefit of his interest in the community, including those disadvantaged who visited the St Vincent’s kitchen for meals.

GARY Howard

Gary’s specialty was cutting up pumpkin, one of the heavier food preparation duties.

Gary was for years treasurer of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association, and also lent his financial expertise to the Blue Wedges Coalition, appearing for them at an Upper House inquiry into channel deepening. And he was no stranger at VCAT, opposing developments in Dromana and McCrae. More recently he belonged to the ABCD community group in Dromana.

Gary was a lifelong cricket devotee and regularly attended Dromana Tigers football matches.

Some said this attendance was driven to a large extent by the pie stall and by the presence of councillors whom he could harangue. His range of friendships was very wide.

He is survived by his wife, Sonia, three children and three grandchildren. The broader community will miss him without really ever having known him.

Axing of carbon tax may lead to cut in rates David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au

In with the new: Chief operating officer Brendon Gardner at Frankston Hospital’s new emergency department.

Technology aids patient care THE $81 million redevelopment of Frankston Hospital’s emergency department opening tomorrow (Tuesday) will use the latest technology to enhance patient care. These medical advances are changing the way patients will be treated.

“The new emergency department is more than double the size of the previous department, has its own separate radiology facilities - including CAT scan - and features computers at every bed and treatment area,” Peninsula Health’s chief operating officer, Brendon Gardner, said.

“Tablet-style computers and swipe-card access will assist medical staff monitor patients’ health at the touch of a button.

New digital security measures will ensure multiple staff can access this information while patient confidentiality is respected.”

Mr Gardner said the resuscitation and treatment areas had mobile pendants with examination lights, cardiac monitors, and power-and-gas supply for critical care equipment.

“These highly sophisticated devices can be moved around the patient and enable more staff to access the patient at any time,” he said.

Brightly coloured zones are a feature of the hospital’s patient care model. “To improve patient flow through the department, zoned areas with specialist staff and equipment will provide paediatric, women’s health, bariatric and mental health services.”

REMOVAL of the carbon tax should curb any rate rise next year, according figures drawn from the Victorian Auditor-General’s report for 2012-13.

The federal Labor government’s tax, abolished by the current federal Coalition government after it was elected in 2013, is the fourth largest driver of rate increases, the report, Rating Practices in Local Government, stated.

The three bigger items were “maintaining services/cost shifting”, “general/other costs” and the state government’s landfill levy. The report was compiled using figures supplied by Victorian councils.

Both federal and state governments “costshift” services on to local councils, often to achieve savings in their own budgets. Occasionally a council will seek to take over a state or federal responsibility, as Mornington Peninsula Shire did with the Rosebud foreshore in 2005, at a cost to ratepayers of up to $420,000 annually.

The end of the carbon tax as a factor in holding down Mornington Peninsula Shire’s rates next year was included in a submission to the shire from the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association.

MPRRA listed nine savings measures in its submission, arguing that the shire “must carefully and wisely consider its next budget and use this as a learning experience to live within its means, as in future ̔buckets of cash’ will not be available because the new state government intends capping rates

in 2016-17. It said that “by any measure the shire’s rate increase over the last decade is outrageous”. Rates had risen: • three times more than CPI. • twice the estimated increase in costs incurred by local government.

• three times more than the increase in wages.

• four times the increase in pensions.

Mornington Peninsula Shire now had “the dubious record” of having the third highest increase of 40 household expenditures measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, MPRRA stated.

It suggested nine factors that could lead to a lower rate rise: • Redirecting the $17.9 million “underexpenditure” on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) budgeted for 201516. SPA is now on hold.

• Handing over running of the loss-making Pelican Park to a professional organisation.

• Harnessing savings from removal of the carbon tax and recent lower fuel prices.

• Selling excess shire land as soon as practicable rather than waiting until the money is needed to build SPA. • Forming an internal task force to gather staff input on how the shire could be run more efficiently.

• Publications – simplifying the monthly report by providing the written component quarterly; publishing ̔Peninsula-Wide’ twice a year; and “producing a lean fouryear Council Strategic Plan”.

• Passing on to ratepayers some of the claimed $65 million savings from the Safer Local Roads Program.

• Returning the management of the Rose-

bud Foreshore to Parks Victoria.

• Reviewing the need for the extensive use of consultants and advisers. As reported in The News two weeks ago, these cost the shire $6.42 million in 2013-14.

Nearly 50 budget submissions were made to council. At a meeting last Wednesday about 20 submitters each made a threeminute presentation. Almost all of them had a specific request of the shire, including a boardwalk for the disabled, a CFA request for 50,000-litre water tanks, a rise in the farm rate from 35 to 80 per cent, and more screens for the crowd-pulling Rosebud film festival.

MPRRA ends its submission by repeating a past objection regarding how councillors decide the annual rates and charges increase.

“If the two councillors who are nominated to hear [budget submissions] do not have delegated authority and the full council is going to make the decisions then presentations should be made to the full council,” it states.

“The association does not understand why a complete copy of the submissions cannot be attached to the end of the [budget hearing report] rather than precis.

“Attaching the complete submissions ensures they are placed on public record.

As only a small number of council agenda/ budget hearing reports are required to be printed, the additional cost of printing would be more than offset by the elimination of the need for staff to précis the submissions.”

The recent budget meeting effectively involved all but two councillors and all senior shire staff. It remains to be seen if all submissions are made public, as the MPRRA urges.

Ashram disenchanted find solace online Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au LIKE ripples from a pebble tossed into a still pond, revelations of sexual impropriety at the Mt Eliza-based Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga have been echoing around the world.

The ripples have left a string of fractured and broken friendships and relationships in their wake.

Announced first to “members” of the school and ashram and then published in The News, the revelations that the school’s founder Swami Shankarananda had admitted to having secret sexual relations with women devotees was soon picked up by national news organisations.

Inevitably, it has also become a source of comment on social media, mostly on a website set up by disaffected followers of the swami but also well-established sites such as Facebook’s Guruphilia and the leavingsiddhayoga website. The leavingshivayoga website established by disaffected former members of the Shiva school provides advice and information to anyone feeling hurt or betrayed.

The school has also offered counselling, but it seems its customers – devotees, or followers, of Swami Shankarananda (also known as Swamiji and Russell Kruckman) – are staying away in droves.

The social media discussions have ranged from criticism of Swami Shankarananda to “failed” gurus and estimates of the ashram’s accumulated wealth.

One former member of the school

said attendances at Satsang (a regular Saturday night event) had fallen from about 350 to 60.

“It breaks my heart that our beautiful Satsang [gathering for the truth] has been shaken and split by anger and confusion,” the 72-year-old United States-born swami wrote in a letter seeking forgiveness from ashram members.

A former member, who does not wish to be identified, is one of several people behind the leavingshivayoga website, “a kind of open source project run by ex-devotees … created by a group of us … [to] hit back at Shiva yoga as soon as it became apparent that what they intended to do was whitewash the issue ...”.

There is no mention of the problems caused by Swami Shankarananda’s admissions on the ashram’s own shivayoga website, although a $1330 ($800 days only) live-in summer retreat is listed as postponed.

The former member claims the ashram has adopted a “bunker mentality”, with friendships and relationships being strained or, at worst, severed.

Devotees who have stayed are being told not to speak “to anybody who left as we are apparently lost in enmity and hatred”.

There are also claims that the remaining devotees are being told to chant the 60-verse Guru-Gita for about two hours each day.

The Shiva school, through management committee member Stephen Stanford, has declined to respond to allegations made by some of those behind the website.

Operated by not-for-profit Shiva Yoga Incorporated, the school runs a live-in ashram on expansive grounds complete with lake and manicured gardens in Tower Rd. Several houses in the surrounding area are either owned by the ashram or its members.

Shiva Yoga Incorporated is billed for municipal rates by Mornington Peninsula Shire but is exempt from paying income tax, receives a GST concession and can claim a FBT (fringe benefits tax) rebate.

Former members claim Shiva Yoga “generated tens of thousands in cash” from its programs. “Put it this way, an ordinary one-day intensive program would typically cost $175 to attend, and they would get at least 200 people. Work that out.”

It now appears hundreds of people have stopped attending classes and meetings at the ashram since Swami Shankarananda – known to his followers as Swamiji – confessed to “secret sexual relations” with an undisclosed number of women.

While the school called in mediator Callum Campbell, CEO of the Australian Mediation Association, to come up with a solution to the crisis, it says his findings are confidential.

The management committee of Shiva Yoga has also declined to provide information beyond three statements which, after stating that Swami Shankarananda admitted sexual impropriety, said he would remain spiritual director.

The guru regretted and apologised for his actions and the managers said a “Dharma committee” was writ-

ing a code of conduct that would be required to be followed by all at the school, including its spiritual leader.

The management committee said it had “legal advice that, based on the information known, there is no basis for any criminal complaint”.

“Nonetheless, the committee is aware that the activities in question raise a number of potential ethical issues, and is urgently implementing ... internal processes to address any grievances as a result of past actions and the perceived risk of any future misconduct.”

A person involved with the leavingshivayoga website has told The News that several women have made statements to police.

The website last week claimed an “ex-Shiva Yoga community member”, who participated in the mediation run

by Callum Campbell, said his findings had been handed to the school’s management committee.

“As predicted, Shiva Yoga’s way of handling the fact that so many people have been hurt by the organisation and its leaders is to do and say nothing and carry on with the show.”

Shiva Yoga’s management committee spokesman Stephen Stanford said details of the mediation process “are confidential and we do not wish to comment further”.

The committee declined to respond to a number of question from The News including: Who is the ultimate owner of the ashram?

If Swamiji was legally Russell Kruckman, who is Joshua Russell

Cross, a name listed on at least one website as having the address 27 Tower Rd, Mt Eliza?

Was Joshua Russell Cross a name formally used by Swamiji?

Why did Swamiji leave an ashram in Ann Arbor, United States?

How many people have “left” the Mt Eliza ashram since the allegations were made against Swamiji?

Have any previous or current devotees or members of the ashram demanded a return of their donations?

“The ashram does not wish to add any further to the statements it has publicly released,” Mr Stanford said.

The statement issued by the ashram’s management committee in January admitted “many people are hurt, angry and confused”.

A commentator on the Facebook page Guruphilia called the Shiva school’s initial response “outrageous … we have spoken to some of the women involved and heard their heartbreaking personal accounts in detail, and we see nothing in his actions that could in any way be called tantric or yogic, healing or spiritual”.

The site said Swami Shankarananda was involved in advising devotees about many aspects of their lives, including personal relationships, “when to get a new job or leave one, where to live”.

“For ashramites, this goes further, with some having to ask permission to even leave the premises for a few hours.”

The News has been told that “ashramites do most of the work there, with people who visit the ashram helping,

Beware of persuasive ways unquestioning commitment to its leader, and regards his/her belief system, ideology, and practices as the truth, as law.  Mind altering practices – such as meditation, chanting, work – are used in excess and used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader.  The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel, including getting permission to date, change jobs or marry.  The leader is not accountable to any authorities.  Subservience to the leader requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter personal goals and activities. This will often be enhanced by the adoption of a new name and new identity.  The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.  The group is preoccupied with making money.  Members are encouraged to live and socialise with other group members.

EAST Melbourne-based Integrative Psychology says methods used by cults to gain members include induced dissociation through chanting, meditation, isolation from family and friends, emotional manipulation, control of personal life, including finances, time, relationships, peer and leadership pressure; extensive indoctrination sessions, such as extensive one-on-one sessions with leaders, rigid security regulations and daily rules.

In the healing professions patients are protected by each profession’s governing body and their code of ethics. If you join an organisation that does not declare what you could reasonably and fully expect as a result of your involvement in it from the outset but allows the nature of your involvement to unfold through deepening engagement with that organisation, you may be involved in a cult.

Clinical psychologist Michael Langone says characteristics that distinguish cults from other communities or groups include the group displaying excessively zealous and

cooking and cleaning and gardening” while the leaders “have all their meals made for them, clothes cleaned and ironed, rooms cleaned, beds made … they live like king and queen”.

As well as providing a place for discussion of the yoga school, the

leavingshivayoga website has also attracted the attention of Integrative Psychology, which supplied two papers: What is a cult and What’s the difference between a cult and another organisation?

Integrative Psychology says cults

“present as a group or community that may provide idealism, friendship, love, freedom, belonging, mission, sincerity, salvation, enlightenment”.

“The prospective devotee is wooed with the promise of reward [such as spiritual growth or enlightenment]… the cult leader becomes like a genie holding out the promise of wish fulfilment.

“Research supports the idea that the

majority of people who become involved with cults do so at such times [of major stress] and in fact do not have a prior psychological condition.” “…Asserting that one human being fundamentally knows what’s best for another is authoritarian. If this is accepted, it sets up a chain of inevitable relational patterns that are detrimental to all players of the game.”

Near miss at airfield

INVESTIGATORS are looking into a near-miss between two light planes at Tyabb airfield on Friday 2 January.

The two planes took off from opposite ends of the same runway and were about 10 metres off the ground before they spotted each other and took evasive action.

Peninsula Aero Club president Peter Bernardi said the pilots saw each other and manoeuvred by braking and turning to the right - to avoid a collision.

The Cessna 152 reportedly began its take-off run on runway 35 at the same time as a Starduster SA300 began its take-off on reciprocal runway 17.

Investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau will individually interview the pilots of the Cessna 152 and Starduster SA300.

Mr Peter Bernardi said an in-house investigation immediately after the incident had found that radio broadcasts by both pilots announcing their impending take offs may have been affected by interference.

“There is some interference in the area for which we are yet to find the cause,” he said. “We are working to fix that issue now.”

Another theory is that both pilots came on the air at the same time, talking over each other.

“The club has to report on any incidents, and we do,” Mr Bernardi said.

“We take whatever steps we can to make the airfield safer.”

The Starduster is a relatively new amateur-built plane while the Cessna is factory built.

Tyabb airfield does not have enough movements to warrant a traffic control tower, and pilots work on a “see and be seen” principle. The use of radios is not mandatory although pilots routinely use them.

Cop this! It’s the Finest in force and a few cyclists EMU has been pottering this pleasant Sunday, while his splendid spouse pots. He is stacking firewood and the Blushing Bride is separating plants out of clumps to put individually in little pots. He knows not why, but she is intent on her task and humming as she works.

Emu leans on his axe, wipes his brow and sighs contentedly. This is life at its best. The countryside is quiet and still, except for kookas cackling high in distant gum trees. Thornbills are squeaking in the shrubbery, the greengages are hanging, red and juicy, in the orchard and the water tank repairs are holding. Life could not be better.

And certainly not improved by the sudden caterwauling of sirens along the road. A bushfire? Emu rapidly scans for smoke. Mrs Emu has abandoned her pots and is galloping out the front gate. And now galloping back, agog. She does a good agog.

“It’s the bike race!” she gasps.

“They’re clearing the road for the bikes. There’s dozens of them.”

Emu is intrigued. He follows the BB to the roadside. A few neighbours are already out. And here they come – black-clad, helmeted, leaning into the curve, some of Victoria’s Finest, the full-leathered motorcycle police.

They appear seemingly by the dozen. The pushbikes, the actual contestants in the annual Tour de Victoria, are nowhere to be seen.

And here come more of the Finest.

One waves regally to onlookers. A pause, then another, whirling away out of sight around the curve. Now some non-police bikers whiz past, anonymous behind their Darth Vader headgear. One stops and guards a driveway, restraining folk in cars

wanting to leave a Sunday wineryeatery. They remonstrate. Darth Vader shakes his helmet. Some cars U-turn and head back in for a top-up.

The bikes are joined by 4WDs in police livery, then other cars with notices across their windscreens.

Emu thinks one reads ̔Tour Guests’, another ̔Media’. There are others.

Perhaps ̔Uncle Tom Cobley’ will come past in a moment.

Are the Finest doing circuits? Their number appears endless. Who needs pushbikes – these blokes are the show, all colour and movement. Another waves, maybe the same one who waved before. Emu notices the BB waving back coyly.

Then, finally, the Tour, actual pedal-pushers, disappointingly silent, lacking both light and siren. But they are intent, so intent, after the initial fracas caused by saluting police and the rest of the huge, noisy cavalcade.

First comes a quite large “breakaway” group, followed by more motorbikes, then cars with forests of spare bikes up top. Emu is knowledgable about cycling. He is a Tour de France fan: he knows the lingo, about “breakaways” and what follows.

After what seems minutes the “peleton” whooshes past, also silently, hunched over their handlebars, their task to “rein in” the now distant “breakaway”.

Emu feels the drama of the race would be enhanced by bits of cardboard affixed to rear forks with

clothes pegs, rat-a-tat-a-tat-ing against the spokes, to make the sound of your actual motorbike engine.

Emu and his mates did this as lads, using breakfast cereal box cardboard, even before the packet was empty, and promising mothers they would return the pegs.

Mrs Emu suddenly realises there are no helicopters. The tours de France and other European nations always feature swarms of helicopters, hovering, as TV reporters insist on saying, “overhead”. Emu still keenly awaits the spectacle of a helicopter hovering underground. Mrs Emu, also an avid Tour de France follower, found this absence d'hélicoptères rather déclassé.

She likes showing off her French.

And that was the end of the 2015 Tour. They may never pass this way again. We stroll inside to resume our tasks. Emu recalls reading once about an early 20th century Tour de France – the “tour” based on the national journey French apprentices took after graduation, learning to live by selling their new skills along the way.

A century or so ago, as the Tour riders headed into Brittany, a gang of local cycling enthusiasts lay in wait by the route. They had decided to give their entrant a helping hand. They ambushed the field, laying about them enthusiastically with fist and boot as their champion sped away to a good lead.

“It wasn’t very sporting,” Mrs Emu observed as she took up a pot. “But then, I suppose Lance Armstrong did worse. The Bretons had a pure motive, pure in a French sort of way.”

Emu nodded, in an argument-avoiding husbandly sort of way and picked up his axe. The kookas resumed their refrain.

All was again well with the world.

MPs on PM’s woes Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au ISAACS federal Labor MP Mark Dreyfus has slammed the “chaos and division” of the Abbott government after federal Liberal MPs voted 61-39 against a leadership spill last Monday morning.

The former attorney-general said Prime Minister Tony Abbott had “promised he would run a stable and united government” before the Coalition won the 2013 federal election.

A divided Labor government torn apart by leadership switches between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd lost the 2013 election to the Liberal National Coalition led by Mr Abbott.

Mr Abbott now faces growing internal Liberal Party dissent with many backbenchers agitating for a change in leadership since opinion polls consistently showing many could lose their seats if Mr Abbott leads them to the next federal election in late 2016.

Former Coalition opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull, ousted by Mr Abbott in 2009 by the margin of just one Liberal MP’s vote, is seen as the most likely challenger if a future spill motion succeeds.

“While ‘the Tony and Malcolm Show’ plays out in Canberra, community groups in Isaacs are having their funding cut and students are being told that they should pay $100,000 for their degree,” Mr Dreyfus said. “I call on Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and the rest of the government to end the charade and start working for Australia.”

Neighbouring Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said the Abbott government “is stable and focused on

building a strong, stable economy and creating jobs”.

“I am committed to getting on with this important work implementing our economic recovery plan, creating new opportunities and continuing to deliver local election commitments,” he said.

“In coming months this will include working on a small business package for the budget and other measures to create the very best environment for businesses to thrive.”

Mr Billson, the federal small business minister, has made no secret of his support for the embattled Prime Minister, using social media – dubbed “electronic graffiti” by Mr Abbott – to show his backing for Mr Abbott before Monday’s leadership spill vote.

His cabinet colleague, Flinders MP and environment minister Greg Hunt, had been less publicly visible online with his support for Mr Abbott but did say he would vote against a leadership spill last week.

Last Tuesday a spokesperson for Mr Hunt said the Minister said the Prime Minister has his support and expects him to lead the Liberal Party to the next election.

“The spill motion has been dealt with, and we’re now getting on with the job of delivering for Australian families,” Mr Hunt said in a statement to The News.

“People want and expect us to focus on jobs, families and the economy – and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

Mr Dreyfus believed the Liberals’ leadership troubles are not at an end.

“Tony Abbott might have dodged a leadership spill for now but the Liberals remain deeply divided,” he said.

Standing gifts: Mornington sculptor and retired Uniting Church minister Ian Johnston with his statues of Christ and St Thomas More, which are bound for East Timor as a gift from two Mt Eliza churches.

Picture: Ivor Burt

Statues for East Timor THE links between two churches in Mt Eliza and a Catholic parish in East Timor have been further strengthened with the donation of two statues.

They were created by Rev Ian Johnston of Mornington for Mt Eliza’s St Thomas More Catholic parish and The Village Uniting Church, and will be donated to St Thomas More in Tequinomata in the Laga region of East Timor, also known as Timor Leste.

Members of the St Thomas More Mt Eliza rebuilt the town’s school in 2011 and the church itself in 2012. Parishioners were so grateful they renamed their church St Thomas More.

Helene Seymour donated a portrait of St Thomas More to the Tequinomata parish in 2013.

The statues of Christ and St Thomas More were on display at The Village Uniting Church in Mt Eliza until last Sunday and will now be shipped to Timor Leste and dedicated in June.

The statues project is the brainchild of Les Harper of St Thomas More Mt Eliza, who has been a key member of the parish’s work in Timor Leste.

He approached painter and sculptor Ian Johnston after returning from a trip to Timor

Leste, where he was asked about the chance of finding one statue.

The project expanded when Uniting Church members heard about their former minister’s creation. Rev Johnston, 73, was the Uniting Church’s minister when the church was built in Canadian Bay Rd in the early 1980s. The congregation had been gathering at St James The Less Anglican Church on the Nepean Highway.

The statues are about 170cm tall (5ft 7in) and made of cast fibreglass on a lightweight steel frame. The costuming is made of cloth impregnated with fibreglass.

Rev Johnston said Timorese people value statues highly, a reflection of their animist ancestors.

He worked from a Hans Holbein portrait of St Thomas More, who was beheaded by Henry VIII in 1535 after failing to support the king’s move away from the Catholic church. King Henry had previously made Thomas More his Lord Chancellor but when their philosophies diverged, it was off to the Tower of London for the priest.

St Thomas More is patron saint of lawyers and wrote the famous book Utopia.

LETTERS Late convert Was [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon asleep during the [2014] November state election? I don’t recall any interest in the endangered hooded plover by him in the past to warrant the front page headline (‘Ban dogs: MP’s call’, The News 10/2/15). Martin has been a busy person this week as I have also noticed a letter in the same edition advising the new Labor government on any decision it arrives at regarding Point Nepean.

Perhaps Martin should have concentrated on the concerns of us locals regarding a proper transport service instead of the siting a pool on the foreshore (a promise he didn’t keep) and also repairs to Mooroduc Primary School, then his [winning] margin may not have been decreased.

John Cain, McCrae

Investigation need Recent articles and letters supporting the leasing of the Point Nepean National Park by the Point Leisure Group do not address the many issues which the Andrew’s government should investigate in regard to the lease signed at the last minute before the Napthine government entered the caretaker period of government.

Issues which need careful scrutiny include the vast difference in the size of the lease area between 17 hectares repeatedly stated by the Napthine government and the final lease area of 64ha, the abandonment of proper planning, the relevance to and impact of the proposed uses on the historical and environmental values of the park, the downgrading of Park Victoria's role in the park’s management, the demolition of Badcoe Hall, which I suspect would be of concern to the RSL, construction of a jetty in a dol-

phin sanctuary zone and the absence of due diligence on the history and experience of the proposed developers.

A good start would be to allow public scrutiny of the lease so the community can make an informed judgement on whether it has any benefits for the preservation, enhancement and maintenance of this peaceful haven which is much loved by Victorians and visitors who know it.

The Quarantine Station has only been fully open to the public since 2009 and many have still not discovered its beauty.

Commercial leases should be only for individual buildings and not for any land within the Quarantine Station.

Parks Victoria should be the leasing agency supported by an independent advisory group.

It must not become a building site, a glamorous for-profit resort or a mining site damaging the threatened coastal moonah woodland.

Pauline O'Brien, Portsea

Conversation changer Maurice Newman, chairman of the Prime Minister’s business advisory council has uttered this chuckleinducing quote: "The climate change movement is rooted in power, money and emotion - not science - It is indecently obsessive and authoritarian. In fact, it’s the people behind this movement who pose the greatest threat to humanity, not the climate" (Australian Conservation Foundation website 5/2/15).

This statement helped to clarify my hypothesis that the issue is no longer about climate change at all. Regardless of wheather (my spelling) you

believe it or not the issue is changing our lives.

The conversation must move from wheather (my spelling) man is creating climate change to where are the jobs of the future going to come from?

When you look around the world, billions of dollars in investments and new job creation are the result of the climate change issue. Unfortunately, while other governments, including those of the United States, China, Europe, India and Africa are embracing the change and investing in future jobs, Australia lags significantly behind in creating jobs of the future and attracting the billions of investment being poured into the renewable energy industries. Statistics abound supporting this statement.

We have lost our auto Industry and many others. While many countries continue to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, Australia continues to put all of its support into the fossil fuel industry.

Rather than invest in industries that will provide the jobs of the future, Australia continues to give corporate welfare to the tune of billions of dollars a year to the fossil fuel industry while the same companies “launder” billions of dollars overseas to low tax havens to avoid paying $8.1 billion dollars a year in Australian taxes.

As the paradigm shift to “climate change” continues to escalate, it looks like the future of Australia is to be left with many huge open pit mining holes in the ground with rusting equipment and no jobs. At that point we will be quite happy to recycle batteries with no safety equipment for a couple of bucks a day while the rest of the world enjoys a wonderful life filled with jobs created by the renewable energy.

Climate change due to man? A reality or not? Both can be debated, but

MOONAH LINKS

what is clear is the fact that investment and jobs are being created in this industry at astounding rates while worldwide attitudes are dictating a significant reduction in the use of fossil fuels.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Swift helper We take this opportunity to thank you for the recent prompt publishing of our concerns about the condition of some pathways in Victoria St, Hastings, which seriously affect the disabled within our community.

We also thank Cr David Garnock for his swift reply and attention to this matter. Within hours of receiving our concerns arrangements had been made for us to meet with a view to addressing these issues.

David was totally unaware of the daily problems faced by people in manual wheelchairs and the difficulties as a carer of trying to even cross some roads in Hastings due to the lack of forethought when certain areas were constructed for pedestrians. Mobility scooters have been addressed quite well, but people with walkers and manual wheelchairs face a daily struggle to cross roads. When the cross overs from the road to footpath have a raised edge, this involves tilting the appliance so that the raised edge can be cleared, which can be a falls risk and, in the case of the carer, tilting a wheelchair can be very difficult, especially if the chair and the person is still on the road.

David’s commitment to working with his community to provide better access and inclusion of marginalised people and groups is amazing, he displays empathy and a great understanding of what we are about. He does face an uphill battle with the Mornington Peninsula Shire and of course

funding is always a problem.

I for one am confident that we are in safe hands with such a dedicated person willing to take on the hard and unpopular issues and problems our community may face. We know that he has our best interests at heart, despite the wheels of council turning ever so slowly, especially on the Western Port side of the peninsula.

Farm burgled DETECTIVES are searching for a burglar who allegedly attempted to steal property at Cruden Farm, Langwarrin, former home of the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch.

Frankston CIU was told a man entered a building on the farm in Cranbourne-Frankston Rd just before 8.30pm on Wednesday 4 February.

Once inside he was confronted by a staff member near one of the bedrooms, and the men had a brief struggle. The burglar managed to break free and ran from the house empty handed.

He was chased by the staff member towards Cranhaven Rd but got away.

The offender is described Caucasian, 3540 years-old, 180cm tall with short black hair. He was wearing a black t-shirt with black and brown track pants.

Drug raid arrests FRANKSTON police arrested two men and a woman during a drug raid at a house in Seaford on Friday 6 February.

Police and members of the Clandestine Laboratory Squad found equipment used in making methyl amphetamines - or ice - along with precursor chemicals and a quantity of the drug itself.

Cutbacks clue to port’s future Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

THE activities of the Port of Hastings Development Authority have been drastically scaled back following the election of the Labor state government.

Staff numbers have been slashed from about 100 (including consultants) to 31, with one insider telling The News that the authority is “shrinking fast, all the consultants are about to go”.

The authority’s CEO Mike Lean says the authority is working with the government to investigate logists associated with the use of Hastings as a bulk port.

The authority was established by the former Coalition government in 2012 with $110 million (over four years) to manage the Port of Hastings and plan for a container terminal.

However, it seems that its role now has been cut back to managing the port and possibly planning to expand the port’s existing use to handle bulk commodities, such as oil and gas.

Environmentalists have long opposed any increase in oil tankers coming to Western Port because of damage to the bay’s internationally-recognised wetlands that could result from spillages.

There have been about 50 ships a year coming to western Port in each of the past three years.

During the lead-up to the November 2014 election, Labor candidates on the Mornington Peninsula ruled out a container port at Hastings and the government says Infrastructure Victoria will be assessing the state’s port needs.

When in opposition, Labor proposed building a container port at “Bay West”, on the western shore of Port Phillip closer to Geelong. When previously in government it favoured Hastings.

Mr Lean was appointed by the Coalition state government in February 2013 to “lead the authority in the development of the Port of Hastings to become Victoria’s second international container port”.

The authority website now defines its role as being “responsible for managing existing trade at the Port of Hastings through the Port Management Agreement with Patrick Ports Hastings”.

It will be “working with the government to assist it in implementing its ports policy”.

In its Project 10,000 – Victorian Labor’s Transport Alternative report, the party said it would “seek independent expert advice from Infrastructure Victoria about the viability of Bay West as an alternative site for Melbourne’s second container port … Address the logistics needs of the state, including future bulk capacity at the Port of Hastings and Port of Geelong.”

However, the document is regarded as Labor’s platform, not its policy, and the Premier Daniel Andrews has only said Labor will deliver on its policies.

When asked about its role, the authority last week said: “The Port of Hastings Development Authority is continuing to work with the Victorian government to provide information on studies completed to date, assist in implementing the current ports policy and oversee the day-to-day operations

of the Port of Hastings” Mr Lean has also cancelled the first meeting for the year of the PORTicipate “community and engagement network”.

“It is our intention to notify all members of the authority’s future program as soon as is practicably possible,” Mr Lean said in an email “postponing” the 5 February meeting.

He said the authority “have had the great pleasure to be introduced to, and welcome” the new Ports Minister Luke Donnellan.

“We are working with Minister Donnellan and the newly formed Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources to determine how the authority may assist government with the implementation of their policies as they relate to ports,” he said.

Executive director of the Victorian National Parks Association Matt Ruchel on Friday questioned the need for a second container port.

Revelations that the Port of Melbourne would relinquish 150 hectares

of land showed “this has nothing to do with the capacity of ports and more to do with real estate”.

The government should “take a deep breath, properly assess all options and ask do we need another container port”.

“Politicians should stop throwing darts at maps and answer the question if it’s [a container port] needed at all.”

Mr Ruchel said existing ports – Melbourne, Geelong or Portland – should be expanded rather than developing “a Bay West or Port of Hastings”.

“The [Port Phillip] bay has already need dredged and mega ships are never going to come to Melbourne, it doesn’t make any sense. We have a population of five million, so where is the demand for them to come?”

Mr Ruchel said the VNPA would not support “a massive expansion” of existing bulk oil or gas facilities at Hastings and called for a review of land earmarked for port related purposes.

In the authority’s 2013/14 annual report chairman’s Yehudi Blache predicted “the next 12 months look to be equally challenging and exciting for the authority to ensure that planning for this vital link [a container port] in the state’s infrastructure network continues apace”.

in the Underbelly series, does not have a current stake in the businesses. Mr Swords says Mr Gatto is his “mentor”.

The businessman has headed up Gatto Corporate Solutions since mid2011 and the Hastings office is a “satellite office” for the company.

The company’s website states: “So you read the papers, heard the name, perhaps even watched a TV series, in turn you have googled the name Gatto. Perhaps you have been told ‘get Gatto to solve your problems’ but who is Gatto? If your business has a problem, our business has the solution. Gatto Corporate Solutions Pty Ltd is a professional business solutions company specialising in col-

lecting money, mediations and pre litigation.”

Years before he became Gatto Corporate Solution’s sole shareholder, Mr Swords was a bodyguard for several celebrities between 2000 and 2007.

“I had the Australian Idol contract for a couple of years so looked after Shannon Noll and Guy Sebastian,” he said.

Richard Branson, Elton John and “anyone who came into Victoria at the time when I was working” were also flanked by Mr Swords.

“I worked on The Footy Show for four years for Channel 9 so I did all their personal protection when the stars would come in.”

Perhaps the biggest “celebrity” Mr

Swords has met is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. He said he attended a function in the UK last year and “the Queen stopped and said hello to me”.

“My mother was Scottish and she’d roll over in her grave if I didn’t ask for Scotland back so I did.”

Early last year, the Herald Sun reported Mr Swords had allegedly threatened the wife of the agent of former AFL Sydney Swans star Warwick Capper.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court ordered Mr Swords “to undergo anger management counselling and do 150 hours of community service”.

“Which Scotsman hasn’t?” Mr Swords said. “You raise your voice in

Australia and you get sent down for anger management.”

He said it was “thrown out” and he ultimately did not have to attend anger management classes.

Mr Swords was reportedly trying to recover disputed money related to the sale of a sex tape starring Capper.

The High St office space, opposite Hastings Library, was leased by Harcourts real estate agent Jason Dowler.

Mr Dowler did not wish to comment about the lease “for privacy reasons” but said the landlord had approved the two-year lease application when it was put to him. Harcourts’ Hastings office is located next door to Gatto Corporate Solution’s new High St premises.

Downsizing: The Port of Hastings Development Authority has seen a rapid decline in available jobs since the election of the Labor state government and its visions for a new port in Port Phillip.

Dromana College proudly congratulates its VCE Class of 2014 on the outstanding results achieved, placing the College at the forefront of all local secondary schools, both government and independent.

The school achieved a 100 percent VCE completion rate, once again increasing its mean study score and also recording a significant increase in the percentage of students achieving a study score of 40 or above. This places these students in the top echelon in the state in these studies.

The excellent results are an accurate and pleasing reflection of the academic direction that the school has actively followed and vindicates the hard work of students, staff and the College Administration. Our VCE focus has been to devote more resources to focused and

explicit teaching and to ensure that we have an engaging, challenging and relevant curriculum that thoroughly prepares students for the rigors of the senior years of study. Our teachers hold high expectations of all students and we ensure that they work closely with them to enable students to achieve their potential.

We look forward to further improvement next year and will continue to provide the structures, environment and facilities that will allow our students to flourish and excel. Well done to the Dromana College VCE Class of 2014 and to all the staff who have worked extremely hard to support them.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Well-known residents leave for camp Compiled by Melissa Walsh MR J. P. Pratt has quite recovered his recent motor accident, and has now returned to Shepparton. *** MESSRS A. Eddie, H. Jackson and O. Palmer have returned to Melbourne after spending a most enjoyable holiday at Mr A. Eddie’s seaside residence, “Cheer-Oh”, Frankston. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruit-growers’ Association will be held in the Somerville Hall on Monday next, when the matter of the cool storage project will be discussed. *** NOMINATIONS for the Flinders Naval Base Sports close with the secretary on Monday next. From what we hear there is likely to be a big entry, and everything points to the function being a gigantic success. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their bi-monthly produce sale at Frankston on Wednesday afternoon next, when in addition to the usual produce, they will offer a quantity of household furniture and gents wearing apparel.

In consequence of the Somerville Show falling on Brody and Mason’s usual sale day at Somerville, it will be postponed till 24th March. *** DURING the week several wellknown residents of the district left for the Camp at Broadmeadows, having determined to throw in their lot as defenders of their country.

We allude to Mr Robert Walker, of Mount Eliza, Mr W. Clements, of Frankston, and Messrs V. Jondahl and M. McDonald, of Langwarrin.

This will not be the first time that Mr Walker has gone to the front, as he enlisted and went through the South African war. We wish them success and a safe return. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions. Monday, 15th February, 1915.

ILLEGAL TRAFFIC IN LIQUOR. E. V. Heffernan, of the Carrum Hotel, was charged by the police with illegally selling liquor on the 17th January last.

Sergeant Jones prosecuted and Mr Maher appeared for defendant.

All witnesses were ordered out of court. The action was taken under Section 134 of the Licensing Act. The following evidence was heard: Constable Revell deposed that he was stationed at the police depot, Melbourne.

On the 17th January was at Carrum on licensing duty.

Visited the Carrum Hotel about 3pm in company with Constable Knott.

We entered by the side door. As I went in, Heffernan (the husband of the licensee) asked me if I was a bonafide traveller.

I told him I was a constable on duty.

Saw four men with glasses in their hands. In reply, Mr Heffernan said they were travellers. I asked the men to produce their railway tickets. One

of them produced the return half of a ticket.

Heffernan said he was licensee. I said to one of the men (Dwyer) ‘You are not a bonafide traveller.’

He said he stayed with some friends at Carrum the previous night I then got his name and address.

I then went along and saw a man put a glass on the side counter. I asked him what he was doing on licensed premises. He said he came from Cranbourne that day and that he lived at Lyndhurst.

There were 7 or 8 travellers in the house besides these.

Again at 8 o’clock I visited the hotel and saw Heffernan again.

There were about 50 persons standing about in front of the house, more or less under the influence of liquor.

In consequence of what happened I again asked Heffernan if he was the licensee and he said his wife was.

Mrs Heffernan told me that she had stayed in the bar all day and tried to keep the men quiet, but in consequence of it being very hot, they had stayed there all day.

I examined 3 others besides Pearson and Dwyer.

Constable Knott corroborated the evidence of the former witness Frank Pearson deposed that he was at the hotel on 17th January.

Got there about 1 o’clock, saw Heffernan at the door. He asked me if I was a bonafide traveller, and I said I was, and I thought I was.

When I saw Constable Revell I was coming out. Never saw him inside

at all.

Mrs Heffernan was in the bar. A witness named Ray deposed that either himself or Heffernan watched the door all that Sunday.

The Bench dismissed the case, as it was considered the licensee had taken the proper precautions to prevent nontravellers being served on that day.

G. Dwyer was fined 5s in default distress, for being on licensed premises in unlawful hours. *** THE ladies’ Red Cross committee have just completed another section of their valuable work, and have as a second instalment, forwarded a large parcel of towels, pillowslips and woollen mittens to headquarters.

The mittens were all knitted by the local school girls, who are still busy knitting so as to include a large number in the next parcel.

The committee intends to canvas the district for donations so as to enable them to keep on sending these parcels for the benefit of our wounded soldiers, at intervals throughout the whole time the war lasts.

We trust that the collectors will meet with a ready response, and appeal to the residents, that their efforts will be successful.

Surely the greatest sacrifice for this work could not be too much, and when our own relations and friends have given up their whole services to fight for our country, it is the least we can do, who are living at home in peace and pleasure, to give, not a little, for a purpose that will bring to

them some comfort during their terrible experiences.

The hon. secretary, Mrs E. P. Hair, announces that the smallest donation will be thankfully received, and surely the donations should be numerous, as it is realised throughout the whole state, that Mornington Peninsula, especially Somerville and Tyabb, is in a most prosperous and flourishing condition. *** THE anniversary services in connection with the Methodist Church were held in the hall on Sunday evening last.

The building was very tastefully decorated for the occasion, and reflects great credit on those who had taken part in making the preparation.

The choir had the very valuable services of Mrs Shaw, of Adelaide, who supplied excellent music with the violin. Rev. J. Jackson, brother of the Rev. Jackson, of Frankston, delivered the sermon. *** A NUMBER of areas have under the Game Acts been proclaimed by the Governor in Council as localities in which, during the whole year, it is unlawful for any person to kill any species of Native Game (birds and other animals). Full information of these localities can be obtained on application to the Chief Inspector of Fisheries and Game.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 February, 1915.

A Grain of Salt Streams of Consciousness...”What’s the time, half past nine, hang your britches on the line, when they’re dry bring ‘em in, hang ‘em on a dunny tin”. Mum and dad smoked cigarettes. Dad liked his beer but hated gambling. Mum loved her betting (the barber SP; a shilling each way all up, if any, the next race) but hated the grog. No seat belts (no car), no bike helmets, hitchhiked, ate white bread and had lemonade if too sick to walk to school. Westgarth theatre matinees, Buck Rogers. Played in the street till all hours, no telephones, no locked doors, fell out of trees, salvos, bread cart, ice-man and everybody rented. Watched young lovers under the peppercorn trees, screaming Johnny Weissmuller’s Tarzan catchcry, disappearing into Merri Creek, catching yabbies. Another year gone, the lottery continues. Count your blessings; a premiership, powerball and bills. Hope, though shrinking, springs eternal. *** I’m not big on new year resolutions. They need to be challenging, an achievement for the better so to speak. As last year drew to a close I looked back on resolution 2014 with pride of performance, or lack thereof.

I’m aiming for a bigger hurdle 2015, namely not to criticize Joe Hockey.

For 365 days he will be left alone. Not

too difficult really. If you the reader are unsure as to the wisdom or otherwise of little Joey you’re obviously a lost cause. I’ve always got Lord Tony for baloney words of wisdom. And the sex thing? It’s like riding a bike: the older you get the more you forget where the pedals are. Psychologist Dr John Norcross says up to 45% of resolvers are successful at 6 months falling to 19% by year end. That’s the beauty of psychologists; percentages available on any given subject; our hidden treasures I’m reliably told, but less than convinced. *** Your cappuccino is luke warm and you prefer it hot; send it back; ditto a pot of flat beer and so forth. January, where I constantly witnessed rudeness in restaurants and shops for no apparent reason, perhaps a feeling of misplaced superiority. I’ve decided it’s all down to dickheads who fail to realise they are in fact advertising their sad faults. Then the other type who never seem to take responsibilty for their own actions. In cars obviously. Travelling at the maximum 60 and he/she is “up your bum” using telepathy to transfer the aggression, spotting an opening, whoosh, the imaginary scream of “idiot”. A cancer of stupidity. A young blonde in a Honda called me a dickhead; cute? A career of all things being somebody else’s

fault amounting to the possibility of a life of self harm? Reminds me of the chap who booked a plane from New York to Rome, ended up in Georgia and blamed the airline. *** I adore Channel 9. Don’t we all? Perfect one day, predictable the next.

The non political piece on Julie Bishop on the 6 oclock Boxing Day News gave me another side to this sensitive lovely lady. If they did a similar story on Julia Gillard I must have missed it.

Followed by A Current Affair where they listed the worst shows of 2014 but forgot (apparently) to include their own show. *** “We are just vultures preying on the vulnerable” says The Age columnist Amanda Vanstone on the Sydney Siege media coverage with nary a whisper on the use of the “terrorist” word and our own preying situation at the Northern Territory detention centres, Nauru and Manus. Amanda is entitled, heavily in favour of all things right, as in wing, but surely the lady can see the occasional faults in the present administration? Or is it moi? Still, thankfully, on Andrew Bolt lines Amanda is at best a second cousin twice removed. A redress of the balance? *** The Curriculum review, when refer-

ring to the arts, as in only two compulsory subjects, music & visual arts, with electives (but not in all schools) of drama, dance and media arts. My experience was of confusion in music and visual arts, but somehow, had drama been compulsory perhaps this would have provided the necessary key to seeing the light a shade earlier in life? I’m a fully paid up member of the “whatif” society. *** Obviously the price of a pack of cigarettes has almost reached plague proportions so what to do? A check of my humble pension account displayed a shakey balance, thus the need to put my previous life as a CPA to good use, as in reducing outgoings in the sum of around $100 a week. The answer? Food. The freezer is now full of half loaves of bread, fish, meat and obviously home brand products.

Done. Success, until the next price hike. *** Again... Always remember (or never forget) the famous words “beware of the self righteous, particularly when it’s their duty”. *** Tony’s Sir Prince Phillip idea makes Joe Hockey look like an intellectual...”Come back soon” tent; entrance to Peninsula Link. January 27th....The celebrities who led the

By Cliff Ellen Paris march for freedom (of speech) included the Egyption Foreign Minister. Hypocrites all, no freedom with metadata?...I’m no Pedantic Pimpernel in the world of grammar but it would be nice to get through a day without hearing the word “totally”...

The dedicated smoking zone at the Rye RSL is not a telephone booth.

Surely those on the other end of the line aren’t all deaf?...Biassed sports reporters on the Indians bowling bumpers with no mention of Mitchell Johnson?...My 2014 orchids to Barack Obama for normalising relations with Cuba and to anything Anson Cameron, Ross Gittins and Greg Baum (sport) writes; 2014 axes to that morning newspaper for the 14 days before the state election, to Tony’s $550 mirage and parents who spent 24 hours daily in January finding things to entertain their kids...

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Blackberry to the future

By Stuart McCullough IT was a shock to see them after so long. They were poured from a clipseal plastic bag onto the plate as casual as you like, but from the instant I caught sight of them, I felt a surge of adrenalin. There are all kinds of fruits in this world. There’s passionfruit, juicy fruit, the fruits of your labour and the fruits of the devil. But there’s only one kind of fruit, the mere mention of which causes me to assume the fetal position. Granted, they’re sweet and a great source of vitamin C. They are, however, also my nemesis.

Once upon a time, a blackberry was a kind of phone that had an awkward and near impossibly small keyboard.

According to legend, they were highly addictive and they threatened to take over the earth. That is, until someone invented the smart phone and the blackberry was seldom heard from again. It was as if it had joined the witness protection program or had decided to leave the band and launch a solo career. But long before a blackberry was a piece of redundant technology useful only as an eight hundred dollar paperweight, it was a fruit. Put simply, it was the nastiest, angriest fruit ever invented.

Some fruits grow in orchards. Others sprout in pots or in garden beds.

Blackberries grow wherever they want. They are, in that respect, anarchists. To the best of my knowledge, my father never planted a blackberry

bush. He didn’t head down to the feed and grain store and pick up a packet of blackberry seeds. Like an uninvited and highly inebriated party guest, the blackberry bushes rocked up unannounced and immediately started to make a nuisance of themselves. A blackberry bush is a tangle of green cane and razor wire thorns.

It grows like a child’s scribble and creeps across the earth like an advancing army.

They were a blight on the landscape.

Static on the screen. From the house you could see the densely tangled blackberry bushes clotting up the back paddock. There is nothing to be gained by ignoring them – once they arrive, they are destined to get bigger.

My father would survey their advance and mutter under his breath. His relationship to the barbed wire weed was, however, deeply complicated. On the one hand, he wanted to treat them like

the trespassers they were and obliterate them, if not from the face of the earth, then certainly from the back paddock. But on the other, he was addicted to the fruit they produced. It was a love, hate, pick, preserve, turninto-jam kind of relationship.

Some people reflect on their childhood and remember walks along the creek, games and butterflies, complete with a ‘Wonder Years’-style voiceover.

I, on the other hand, tend to look back on my early years as a period of indentured servitude punctuated by trips to school. There were chickens to feed (where I learned, first hand, that the term ‘hen-pecked’ was so much more than merely a turn of phrase) as well as plants to water. There was rubbish to take out and weeds to be chipped from the drive using a mattock. But the worst of the chores ever assigned to us concerned the blackberry bushes.

The task was always two fold.

First, we were to pillage every morsel of fruit that we could. My father, spoon piled high with berry plunder, could never understand why we’d turn them down. It wasn’t only that we’d already stuffed ourselves. It was that the pain of retrieving them was simply too great.

Say what you will about my father – I know I certainly do – but he is a man that appreciates the importance of an empty ice cream container. They were always available and put to a variety of uses. Feeling queasy in the back

of the car? Perhaps you’ll feel better nursing an empty ice cream container for the next three hundred kilometers until we pull over for lunch. They were an ideal place to store bits and pieces and the perfect receptacle for freshly plucked berries. My brother and I would be dispatched to the back paddock with nothing more than an ice cream container and warm thoughts for company. The parting words of ‘keep an eye out for snakes’ rarely inspired confidence.

To this day, I can’t look a blackberry in the eye. I appreciate that blackberries don’t have eyes as such, but if they did, rest assured I would be looking everywhere other than just there. So when our host produced blackberries, I raised my hand, feigning a chronic case of flatulence. It was an opportunity lost. After all this time, I missed my chance to reconcile myself with my fruity nemesis. It felt too soon.

We were visiting my father when my wife and one of my nieces disappeared. They returned hours later, buckets laden with blackberries. The grins on their faces were as wide as the sky. It was amazing. What I had long regarded as a form of punishment, they regarded as a treat. It’s all about how you see things, I guess. Maybe I should get over it. The next time they trek down to the back paddock, I think I’ll tag along. It’s time for me to get my just desserts. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Southern Peninsula News 17 February 2015

FIRST THINGS FIRST FRANKSTON ARTS CENTRE FROM one of Australia’s most innovative performing artists comes First Things First - a one-man show of technically virtuosic dance and hilarious physical theatre that explores the art of ‘getting used to it’.

Joseph Simons blasted onto the international dance scene winning the Outstanding Emerging Artist Award for WA AusDance in 2009, since then, he has toured the world with many of Australia’s major dance companies, including the enormously popular Chunky Move.

Now, you can catch him live performing his own special brand of dance theatre, in an evening of firsts you’ll never forget at Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday 7 March.

Do you remember your first day of school? The first time you rode a bike? Your first kiss? The first time is always memorable. But then you do it a second time, then a third. Suddenly, it’s second nature. Join award-winning performer Joseph Simons in this mindblowing display of physicality with his signature charm and wit.

First Things First begins in the foyer of Cube 37, where Joseph is hosting a party for all his friends – you! This is your chance to meet Joseph, have a chat, and be introduced to other members of the audience. Then head

into the Cube theatre to watch Joseph doing what he does best!

Joseph will also spend a week at Cube 37 rehearsing and perfecting his show as well as running a number of community workshops. First Things First is also (very aptly) the first in the season of “Make’n’ Move Frankston”, a dance initiative for creators and audiences alike.

Make ‘n Move Frankston will present a broad range of contemporary dance performances and engagement opportunities for dance makers and the general community over the next two years. The project is funded by the Australia Council for the Arts. Make’n’ Move Frankston include workshops, artist residencies, professional development, Q&As and industry nights. There’s no better way than Simons return home to perform First Things First at the FAC to kickstart the Make’n’ Move Frankston initiative.

There’s a first time for everything!

Don’t miss your chance to experience the physical comedy showman in action.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Phillips the great PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully IT was an unbelievable day in MPCA Provincial cricket on Saturday.

While the highest score for the day was a staggering 136, arguably the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest ever player, Long Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scott Phillips, was single handedly tearing up Heatherhill.

The all-rounder snared nine wickets in a day, eight in the first innings and one in the second to have the Hills reeling at Bruce Park.

Although heavy rain threatened matches across the peninsula, five of the six Provincial games got underway. Baxter and Crib Point will play

a one-day match this Saturday after Baxter Park was unplayable for the second time this season.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good afternoon to bat first with Sorrento recording the highest score for the day with 136.

There were two teams who failed to notch triple figures, Heatherhill being rolled for 62 and Pines skittled for 99 against Langwarrin.

It was yet another Saturday however that belonged to Scott Phillips.

Fresh from choosing not to represent the association at Country Week, Phillips tore through Heatherhill, taking the first four wickets before Andrew Tweddle chimed in. Phillips then took the next four before Tweddle took the

last of the innings.

Phillips would be an unbackable favourite for the Wedgewood medal.

Has there been another player dominate with both bat and ball like Phillips has this season?

The master has made almost 500 runs this season at an average about 50 and taken 38 wickets at an average of 10.3.

After rolling the Hills for 62, Long Island blasted a quickfire 4/132 before sending the home side back into bat.

At stumps they were 2/86, a lead of just 16.

Sorrento made the highest score of the round, scrambling to 136 against Moorooduc.

While Nick Jewell top scored with the bat for the Sorras with 42, Jack Kennedy was the chief wicket taker for the Ducs with 4/41. Kenny Cremen was back in the First XI also and snared 2/22.

In reply, the Ducs are in all sorts of trouble at 4/29. Anthony Blackwell has 2/0.

At the other end of the peninsula at Langwarrin, 13 wickets fell at Lloyd Park.

The Kangas rolled Pines for 99 with Nathan Volpe snaring 6/25.

At the close of play, Pines had the home side on the back foot at 3/43.

Jake Prosser had done it again, picking up 2/6, one of his victims being

his brother Matt, who he bowled for a duck.

Mornington rolled Rye for 116 but at stumps were in some trouble themselves at 2/12.

Luke Popov snared 3/16 for the Doggies while Beau Suffern top scored for Rye with 35.

Leigh Lambert took both Mornington wickets and finished the day with 2/7.

Mt Eliza is on the back foot against Peninsula Old Boys.

The Mounties were bundled out for 119 before POB finished the afternoon on 3/70.

The Hillmen bounce back DISTRICT

By IT Gully ONLY four of the six scheduled MPCA District matches got starts on Saturday.

Seaford and Carrum, a critical match in the context of the season, as well as Somerville and Boneo, will be played this Saturday in a one day format.

There was no stopping Red Hill though, who bounced back from their first loss of the season last week to post a massive 3/347 against Flinders at BA Cairns Reserve.

However, despite posting the massive score, there were no triple figures from any of the five Hillmen bats who went out into the middle. Mind you, none of them failed with the bat and they all made more than solid contributions.

Riley Shaw top scored for the visitors with 92, Simon Dart was unbeaten on 79, Rheede Hopgood made 72, Nick Shaw helped himself to 42 and Matthew Merifield blasted 57.

Eight Flindersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers rolled their arm over in a bid to try and slow Red Hill down.

Flinders will have their work cut out this weekend to try and run down the total.

Main Ridge has a wonderful opportunity to really threaten the top four after getting the better of Mt Martha on Saturday.

Going into the clash, the Ridge (sixth) were half a game behind third placed Mt Martha, fourth placed Carrum and fifthplaced Seaford.

The Ridge have the Reds on the ropes.

Mt Martha was bowled out for 154 on Saturday, Scott Millar getting three wickets.

In reply, the Ridge are 0/26.

Hastings has set Baden Powell 169 for victory.

The Blues racked up 168 on Saturday after Timmy Birch came to the rescue again with an unbeaten 41.

John Harrison wound back the clock for the Braves with 4/69.

Seaford Tigers and Delacombe Park will go down to the wire.

The Tigers batted first on Saturday and made 161 with David James top scoring with 51 and Jack Brooking scoring 38.

Shane Deal was again at his best for the Parkers with 4/36.

In reply, the home side is 1/34.

carnival Saints in box seat Forgetable for the peninsula SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING has yet another opportunity for an outright victory after dominating Dromana on Saturday in Sub-District cricket.

Dromana won the toss and sent the Saints in to bat. It proved to be a pretty good decision when the Hoppers rolled the visitors for 168.

Tim Jessup top scored for the Saints with 40, taking the place of David Ross, who didn’t play.

Craig Dunlop was the pick of the bowlers for the Hoppers with 4/50 from 20 overs.

Dromana needed to capitalise with the bat and failed to do so, bowled out for 62 in 28 overs.

Jacob Cook was outstanding for the Saints, picking up 7/17 from 14 overs.

Dromana survived the last two overs of the day in their second innings and will resume at 0/1.

Carrum Downs is looking at a convincing win against neighbour

Skye after the first day’s play.

Skye batted first and was bundledout for just 108. Stuart Swift was the best of the Cougars’ bowlers with 3/25.

In reply, Carrum Downs is cruising at 1/58. No doubt they’ll have a crack at an outright win on day two.

All other Sub District matches will be one dayers this weekend after rain affected the playing surfaces on Saturday. The critical match of these is Frankston YCW v Pearcedale.

Tiger trouble THE fallout has continued at Dromana with favourite son Paul Minchington signing with Frankston YCW. The star forward/onballer, who hasn’t been fit since winning the flag with the Tigers, will be looking for a big year.

Minchington joins Dromana teammates Anthony Bruhn and

Daniel Waddell at the Stonecats.

Also walking out on the club was skipper Jay Neratzoglou, who will play in the amatuers.

Cal Park and Blake McGrath have gone to Fish Creek. Steven Gartner and Stuart Cleeve have gone to Dingley, Andy Kiely has gone to finish his career with his original home club and Christian Ongarello is undecided about where he will play.

Panthers on prowl

Pearcedale may have struggled last

season but it appears that thing are back on track.

The Panthers have just signed Mornington pair Callum Searle and Michael Williams. Williams burst onto the scene in last year’s grand final when he booted three goals and got the Dogs back into the game against YCW. Williams opted for the Panthers over Red Hill, who is was also in talks with.

Let’s just say that his three goals in the grand final last season has helped his hip pocket in 2015.

COUNTRY WEEK

By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association failed to have an impact in last week’s Country Week carnival for the first time in memory.

The MPCA finished in sixth place on the table with just one win for the carnival.

That win came in round one when the MPCA rolled South West at Melbourne University.

Sorrento’s Corey Harris made 82 and Moorooduc’s Bobby Wilson an unbeaten 75 in that first game when the team scored 3/260. Long Island’s Justin Bridgeman and Mornington’s Luke Popov snared two wickets each as the MPCA rolled South West for 225.

In Round two, despite making 9/249 with Carrum’s Shaun Foster scoring 59 and Crib Point’s Rob Hearn 44, the MPCA was beaten by eventual championship winner, SaleMaffra, who made 290. Carrum teenager Liam Dobson snared 3/32.

Mornington Peninsula was good with the bat again in round three, making 8/245. POB’s Matty Hyden top scored with 83, Bobby Wilson hit 71 and Justin Bridgeman 50.

However, Murray Valley was up for the challenge and got the runs eight wickets down. Main Ridge’s Gareth Wyatt and POB’s Adrian Jones took two wickets each.

MPCA was smashed in the final game by Bendigo, the eventual runner-up. Bendigo made 8/280 before MPCA were rolled for 179. Wilson took 3/20 and Hyden 2/45. Shaun Foster top scored with 43 and Matt Foon hit 35.

The Development Squad fared slightly better but still failed to make the finals.

Long Island’s Aaron Paxton made 55 in the first match against Hamilton while Hastings’ Luke Hewitt made 25. Hewitt was also the best of the bowlers with 2/22.

In round two, Seaford’s Damien Lawrence scored an unbeaten 100 and Sorrento’s Leigh Poholke hit an unbeaten 79. Brad Trotter from Pearcedale was good also with 58.

It was good enough to see them beat Ferntree Gully by 50 runs.

Hewitt was the pick of the bowlers with 3/31, POB’s Jon Forrest snared 3/49 and Lawrence 2/36.

The MPCA was well beaten in round three against Ballarat. Sorrento’s Liam O’Connor had a good game, scoring 38 and snaring 2/25.

In the final match, MPCA was well beaten by Warnambool. O’Connor top scored again with 53 while Forest scored 41 and Paxton 33. O’Connor also snared 3/44.

Warnambool defeated Ballarat in the final.
