Teachers on trek with a purpose THREE teachers from Rosebud Secondary College are about to set off on a 24-hour Wellness Walk around the southern Mornington Peninsula.

The aim of the walk is to raise money and awareness for the Wellness Pavilion to be built next year in the grounds of Rosebud Secondary College.

The Wellness Pavilion will offer meditation sessions, counselling support and innovative programs for college students, young people and families in the wider community.

The three teachers - Rhys Edmund, Jason Albress, and Brent Morrison – aim to complete their walk without any sleep. “This will be very, very gruelling both physically and mentally,� Edmund said. “The three of us are very passionate about this project. Our hope is that the local community will jump behind us and really support the Wellness Walk.�

Rosebud Secondary College assistant principal Geoff Seletto says the walk is a “huge undertaking�.

Power line fire fears Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au LINEMEN are scrambling to replace up to 30 kilometres of faulty power lines on the Mornington Peninsula amid fears they could cause bushfires.

This follows claims that sparks from faulty lines have this year caused three or four fires in Main Ridge and Red Hill.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon fears the power lines will not be replaced before

they cause more fires. “Stringing it out is not good enough,� he said. “Under the current plan they will not be replaced for years.�

The official fire ban season started yesterday, Monday, and it is understood United Energy’s power line replacement plan will not be completed until 2020.

Concerns focus on the failure of “wrapped� or “twisted� power lines, also known as ABC power lines (aerial bundled cable).

&DULQJ IRU ORFDO IDPLOLHV IRU RYHU \HDUV

Red Hill residents have also called on United Energy to “immediately� remove faulty or fire-prone power lines along Main Creek Rd. In a letter to the power company John Saunders and Peter Hercules said there was “evidence that the ABC power lines are faulty and explode periodically causing fires�.

They said there was a bushfire on the afternoon of 9 November “as a consequence of a failure of your power lines in Main Creek Rd�.

It is believed fires have been caused by lines short-circuiting, with residents reporting loud explosions before fires started beneath them power lines. “Fortunately, the CFA was able to put the fire out, and no serious damage occurred,� their letter stated. “We are concerned that the continued use of these types of power lines, or your company’s failure to maintain existing power lines, exposes the residents of nearby areas to an unreasonable, and now, foreseeable risk of bushfire.�

United Energy did not respond to queries from The News by deadline.

The residents say they will hold the company responsible for fire damage and have asked United Energy to “maintain and preserve all records in relation to the acquisition and purchase of such power lines, and in respect of any fires that might occur as a result of the failure of such power lines�.

Their concerns are compounded by the time being taken to replace old power cables.

New leases put yacht clubs on even keel Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au YACHT clubs on council-managed land are paying vastly different rents with Rosebud paying almost five times more than Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.

The disparity was revealed when Mornington Peninsula Shire was asked for new leases by Rye Yacht Club and the Sorrento club.

Sorrento has been paying an annual rent of $572 for its 4633 square metres prime foreshore site between Holyrood Ave and Calcutta St. It has 3500 members.

Rosebud has been paying $2466 but this will be cut to $1000 after the council introduced a new formula for rents.

Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club's rent will increase to $6167 McCrae Yacht Club has been paying a remarkably high $10,296 but will now be charged $1368.

In a report to the council, property officer Greg Collins stated yacht clubs were paying “a range of rents largely determined by the individual leases”.

“Many of the yacht clubs located on council-managed land were originally managed by the state government through Parks Victoria or the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, and the commencing lease rentals and reviews were not consist-

ently determined,” he stated.

“The larger clubs with superior facilities are not always being charged a rent commensurate with the facility and location.”

Rye Yacht Club and Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club are set to secure new leases from the shire.

The Rye club, formed in 1972, sought a new 21-year lease as well as 650 square metres of extra land for boat parking, expanding its current lease area to the north and south.

The Sorrento club also wanted a new 21year lease. It was formed in 2001 with the merger of Sorrento Sailing Club (formed in 1948) and Sorrento Couta Boat Club.

The current annual rent paid by Rye Yacht Club was $966 and would be increased to $1000.

The council decided to set the minimum annual rent for all yacht clubs at $1000.

The new rents are based on Yachting Victoria’s annual affiliation fees.

Other yacht clubs to pay more include Mt Martha and Safety Beach. Mornington continues to lead the pack with an annual rent of $41,000 because of its sub-leasing deal with The Rocks restaurant and Telstra for a mobile phone tower.

Residents have the chance to object to the two Rye and one Sorrento leases. Public notices will be published in local newspapers.

• Rye Bowls Club is seeking a five-year lease extension to take it to 2027 to enable planning for an upgrade of one of its two bowling greens to artificial turf at an estimated cost of $220,000. Part of the funding will be provided by a 10-year loan from the Bendigo Bank. A report to councillors stated the bowls club’s rent for 2015-16 was $2053.

Meeting ends in uproar, insults David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au FRUSTRATION boiled over into bitterness and rowdiness at the 23 November Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting, with two councillors exiting the chamber before business was concluded.

Tension had been building over a series of meetings as a group of the more conservative councillors led by Antonella Celi and Anne Shaw were outvoted on topics generally dealing with development and planning.

On 23 November, with Cr Graham Pittock in charge of the first meeting in his mayoral year, the unruly behaviour began when Cr Antonella Celi tried to head off a move to change the name West Rosebud to Capel Sound.

Cr Lyn Bowden asked Cr Celi why she would “not want the community to have a discussion” on the proposal. The gallery reacted to this with “Hear hear.”

Cr Celi retorted that she was prepared to debate but not “just to be set up with a question like that”.

Her motion to refuse the name change was seconded by Cr Anne Shaw.

In the debate that followed, Cr Celi said she wondered if the proposal was “about class warfare”, where it was thought a name change for an area of social disadvantage would fix its problems.

Inquiries among Rosebud West community leaders indicated they were happy with the current name, she said.

Cr Pittock cautioned the restive gallery to remain silent. Cr Celi added: “And mind your lan-

guage, too, please. I don’t appreciate being called a tosser.”

Cr Shaw pointed to the costs of a name change that failed, especially for businesses. She cited but did not identify instances of changes being rejected by residents, leading to costly re-adoption of the original names.

Cr David Garnock gave the example of West Park in his Cerberus ward having its name changed to Wallaroo, which had been a success.

He knew of other successful name changes, he told the meeting.

Cr Andrew Dixon described the proposal as “postcode snobbery at its finest”, arguing there were many better ways a community could spend the $18,000 proposed for conducting the name change consultation.

Cr Tim Wood described Cr Celi’s move as a “road block” to the democratic process of consulting the public.

In closing, Cr Celi claimed that a recent community consultation workshop, “no one wanted to change the name”. This drew a strong protest from the gallery.

Cr Celi indignantly and loudly asserted her “right to debate” and Cr Pittock again rebuked the gallery before the vote went against her 3-7. Cr Bev Colomb was absent from the meeting.

Cr Pittock suggested the motion to put the issue to Rosebud residents did not need to be re-debated and Cr Lynn Bowden moved that the motion be put immediately to the vote.

“Anything to shut me up,” Cr Celi interjected.

“When it’s good [for her opponents] it means that they want me to be quiet and not debate. I’ve been shut up. I’ve been censored.”

Deadly toll: Students Rachel Dodd, Olly Brayne and Errin Lindner at the Counting Women display at Chisholm TAFE’s Frankston campus. Picture: Gary Sissons

Shirt fronts show reality of family violence A CONFRONTING project focused on domestic violence is on display at Chisholm TAFE’s campus in Frankston.

The student initiated ‘Counting Women’ T-Shirt Project, has a T-shirt for each woman in Australia murdered by a partner or ex-partner this year.

Each T-shirt lists the woman’s name and details where possible and is accompanied with relevant newspaper articles and a blackboard updated with the current death toll, 78 in 2015.

Chisholm group coordinator of community services Dr Ilsa Evans said the project had been a pivotal assignment for Diploma of Community Services students.

“Highlighting this topical issue is of critical importance to all members of our community and we see family violence not just a personal issue - but a community one,” Dr Evans said.

“We want this project to be an important representation of this serious topic and ensure

our community understands the impact it causes”.

The project was started after Rosie Batty, Australian of the Year, visited Chisholm TAFE’s Time to Change community forum to discuss family violence.

The students aim to use research from Destroy The Joint, an online community for gender equality, to maintain the display as an ongoing visual representation of domestic violence.

Last Wednesday (25 November) was White Ribbon Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness to stop men’s violence against women in Australia where more than one woman a week is killed by a current or former partner.

Anyone who has experienced, or is at risk of, family and domestic violence and/or sexual assault can call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) for counselling and help. Call 000 in an emergency.

Appeal likely after council approval ANOTHER Sorrento development proposal in the historic commercial precinct of the town has effectively been rejected by way of last-minute councillor changes.

It is almost certain to go to VCAT, where the planning tribunal recently overturned an earlier refusal by Mornington Peninsula Shire in the heritage Ocean Beach Rd. Council is considering taking that tribunal decision on appeal to the Supreme Court. Such appeals can only be made on points of law. Nepean ward councillor Hugh Fraser and Red Hill ward councillor Tim Wood are both experienced lawyers.

In the current application, council planners recommended approval of the mixed use building as presented to them.

But councillors voted for significant changes, including to the view of the building from Ocean Beach Rd. The applicant, Kato Group, sought to develop a mixed use building comprising seven apartments, two retail shops and a medical centre with two practitioners. A reduction in car parking requirements was also sought.

The main changes councillors approved were to push back the glass entrance to one of the shops and to delete the top apartment, which meansmaking “appropriate changes” to the roof.

The application drew three objections, including one from Dr Ursula De Jong, a local expert on Sorrento heritage and an architectural historian who, in her words, “teaches the next generation of architects” at Deakin University.

She told councillors Sorrento was an historic coastal town whose natural and cultural heritage values had made it a major tourist destination.

“Why push the envelope of the development of Sorrento at the scale and density demonstrated by the proposal,” Dr De Jong said.

“A reminder that many years ago the Shire of Flinders suggested that it was important to put in place a policy that allowed Sorrento to age graciously.”

Opposing the changes to the developer’s plans, Cr Anne Shaw Shaw said it was not fair to make such substantial alterations at such a late stage. It was planning on the run, she said – “not a good idea, not smart”.

The bird spent three days with wildlife carer Jennie Bryant, which included being checked by a vet, being taken to Healesville and being fed meals on lean meat and vitamins.

After being given the all clear for take-off, the young wedge-tail was released back into the wild on Monday close to where he was found and where Ms Bryant believes his farsighted parents will soon welcome him home.

Ms Bryant was called to the stricken bird on Friday by some people who spotted it walking on a road.

She was able to catch it when it went became tangled in a tree by throwing a towel over its head.

Once back at Ms Bryant’s Koala Rescue at Tyabb, the wedge-tail was assessed, fed and then taken to visit the vet and Healesville.

Ms Bryant said it appeared the bird had only recently left the nest and was unable to fend for itself.

The bird appeared healthy besides being underweight and having a small smear of blood on one wing.

“I fed him up a bit, but he didn’t seem to like rabbits or duck, which is something he’ll learn from his parents,” she said.

With the wedge-tail released, Ms Bryant is now busy with looking after other injured wildlife; including a female koala (“she’s got problems with her hands”) that has to undergo 45 days of injections for a chlamydia infection.

Ageing power lines sparks fear as summer fire season starts Continued from Page 1 Many of the ageing cables are estimated to be up to 30 years old. It is believed only a fraction of the work will be done by the end of this bushfire season with the remainder being done on a priority basis by 2020.

Mr Dixon said the power lines needed to be replaced as soon as possible.

“The fault has been recognised so they should be replaced before the fire season. If the current plan [prevents] them being replaced then the plan should be changed.”

Mr Dixon said the Red Hill and Main Ridge power lines came from a “faulty batch that had not lasted as long as they were expected to and had already caused fires” – even though extra insulation was supposed to improve their fire safety capabilities.

The insulation appeared to be perishing quickly and breaking away and exposing the wires, which he described as “a recipe for disaster”, he said.

Mr Dixon said Main Ridge CFA “recognised the issue as serious and that it needed to be fixed straight away”.

He said he would get a full briefing from United Energy on Monday next week. “We will find out if we can quicken the replacement process or, if not, I will be taking it up with the Energy and Resources Minister [Lily D’Ambrosio] and or the Ombudsman.”

Owners banking on run for the money Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON racehorse Claro El Banco is living up to his name for nine owners whose relatively small outlay in buying him could result in a big payday in January.

Spanish for “Clear the Bank�, the name sums up the fortunes of the two year old which is part-owned

by Roy and Liz Farrell, of Dromana, track ambulance driver Peter Seaman, of Somerville, Bobby Nissen, of Mornington, and six others whose involvement has added colour to the gelding’s rags to riches story.

Bought for $80,000 at the Magic Millions 2015 Gold Coast yearling sale in January by trainer Jason Petch, Claro El Banco last week won the Magic Millions Clockwise Classic at Ballarat, running as a $15 outsider.

More than just a race, the win qualified him for a start in the $2 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic over 1200 metres in January, which could set the owners up for life.

On the way he will contest the $200,000 Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic over 1100 metres on 17 December.

The Ballarat win was a godsend for the owners who didn’t give up hope after Claro El Banco – or Rocky to his owners – came last in his only other start: the Maribyrnong Trial Stakes for two year olds over 1000 metres at Flemington in October. “He performed well below our expectations due to the way the race was run and we disregarded that

as we knew we were good moving forwards,� Petch’s partner Lynne Rees said last week.

The performance was doubly disappointing for Peter Seaman, who watched the race from behind the wheel of his ambulance as he followed the field around the track.

The Ballarat win was a different story, but, in racing, there are many strange tales, as Ms Rees explains:

“Roy and Liz Farrell [who previously ran a Mornington book store] couldn't attend the race meeting as they had no substitute player for their bowls team and wouldn't let the team down. They have been loyal supporters and clients of the (Petch) stable for three years. “Ambulance driver Peter Seaman and partner Nicole Joyce bought their share in the horse in July after attending a stable function and seeing him.

It is their first experience at ownership. What sealed their decision was that Peter’s father-in-law, Bob Cooper, was really sick and they thought it would give him something to be involved in as he had been a clerk-ofthe-course in Victoria for many years and loves the racing industry. “He lives at Ballarat but was too unwell to make it to the track on Saturday, so Peter and Nicole were able

to take the trophy there and enjoy the celebrations with him.�

Ms Rees said owners Tyson Folland and partner Elisha Blake bought into the horse after Mr Seamen recommended it. “It is their first racehorse, too,� she said. “They were unable to attend [Ballarat] as Tyson was best man at a wedding. He said he wasn’t game to mention the races and was happy when the wedding photographer asked if he could put the races on the radio. “That's when Tyson told them that he part-owned a horse that was racing. As a result they all backed it at $15:1 and Tyson was the most popular person on the day – I only hope he didn't outshine the bride.�

Racing identity Bobby Nissen has worked around the area and in floating (horse transport) for years, but this is his first horse. He has mobility issues and couldn’t attend the Ballart race as there was no disabled car park available.

Other owners include Melbourne businessman and manager Paul Fielding. He joined the stable last year on the recommendation of his brother, Glenn, who has been a loyal supporter and client for four years.

Ms Rees said even naming the horse had its moments. “Paul picked it but, on the day I submitted it for registration, he messaged me and asked if he could change it. “I said yes, but then I got a message saying: ‘In racing it is bad luck to change things, so let’s run with it.’ “And he has certainly cleared the bank for them.�

Getting the dirt on your soil ALTHOUGH humans rely on soil for food, clean water, fuel and natural fibre production, nutrient cycling, animal feed and more, it is an underappreciated resource, says peninsula Landcare Network officer Jacqueline Salter.

“This year is International Year of Soils and to celebrate, Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network is inviting landholders to learn more about their soils and how to protect them at a Farm Planning 101 workshop,” she said.

“Experienced soil officer Lindsay Hyde will guide small property owners through basic introductory soils training and hands-on activities to help participants understand healthy soil function and productivity.”

Deborah Jobson has done Mr Hyde’s workshop: “Lindsay was absolutely fantastic. The workshop was hands-on and extremely practical. It catered for people of all backgrounds.

I got a very large aerial photograph of my property that I can use for planning,” she said.

Ms Jobson has implemented much of the knowledge gained during the workshop on the 16-hectare Balnarring property that she and husband Wayne have owned for 10 years.

“I learnt how to better manage the wet areas on our property. We’ve installed a gate to keep our 10 Waygu cattle out of wet areas during winter.”

Ms Salter said Lindsay Hyde was a former secondary school teacher with an obvious flair for providing knowledge and a passion for promoting sustainable land management.

He said it was important for landholders to have “the knowledge,

capability and understanding to manage their land sustainably, and running these workshops is a way to achieve this”.

He has undertaken an undergraduate degree in education as well as postgraduate studies in natural resource management. Before working in Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland regions, he was in northern Victoria with the state environment department helping landholders tackle salinity and soil degradation.

Mike Hast

Council OK to sound out name change views Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SHIRE councillors have agreed to spend up to $19,000 to survey residents about changing the name of Rosebud West to Capel Sound.

The change was proposed in July by a group of Rosebud West residents who said there was a disconnection between the name and the area’s real character “and the impact this has on the pride we feel about our place”.

Spokesman Terry Wright said changing the name was not the sole solution to improving the town but it would “bring a new identity, a new character; we hope it builds on what was done during the [2007-13 Rosebud West Community] renewal project”.

He said precedents for a change included McCrae once being called Dromana West (in the 1940s) and “at some point Blairgowrie was Sorrento East”.

“West Rosebud as it was first called – now Rosebud West – and Rosebud South were the last ‘directional’ name on the peninsula,” he said.

Mr Wright said the group was pleased the council had agreed to take the first step. “We want all people to have a say.”

He said the group – now known by its web address CapelSound3940.org – would soon release a list of “21 great things to do in 3940”.

Last week, councillors voted to consult with the community for 60 days from the date of an initial letter and survey form to be sent to 5500 residents, community groups and organisations.

This could be extended because of the coming holiday period.

The shire will put public notices in local newspapers and seek submissions.

An attempt to abandon the process, led by

area councillor Antonella Celi, failed when just two councillors supported her – Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon.

Voting against her move were councillors David Garnock, Tim Wood, Lynn Bowden, Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser, and her Seawinds Ward colleagues David Gibb and new mayor Graham Pittock.

One element in favour of the change is that the Office of Geographic Names, which has final approval of name changes in Victoria, is not in favour of what it calls “directional names”.

Its guidelines state they should be avoided.

“A proposed name that uses a cardinal direction [north, south, east or west] to distinguish itself from another similar name is considered to be a duplicate name.

“In these instances a different name should be chosen to allow for a clear distinction between the two or more features, localities or roads.”

An officers’ report to the council stated the OGN had “advised that if there is an opportunity to change Rosebud West, in order to remove the cardinal direction, then council should consider” this.

After the first letter to residents and others, which will cost $4180, a report on reaction will be prepared for the council.

The council agreeing to go ahead with the next stages will cost a further $14,820.

If the council agrees to the new name, the OGN will be notified. Submitters will have 30 days to send objections to OGN. • Capel Sound, a stretch of Port Phillip between Rosebud West and Rye, first appeared on a chart in 1836 and was most likely drawn from the survey of Port Phillip carried out by HMS Rattlesnake. Thomas Bladen Capel, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy’s Far East squadron, served in the French Revolution War and the Napoleonic Wars.

NEWS DESK Bookshop flooded STAFF at Antipodes Bookshop & Gallery, Sorrento, are working hard to reopen the shop after a burst water pipe damaged floors and stock.

The owners discovered the damage on Monday 9 November – and then the hard work began. “Staff salvaged stock and prepared for the massive clean-up,� owner Jane McAuliffe said. “Water and paper certainly don’t play nice together. “We realise the situation could have been worse – we are thinking of our friends at The Baths – but it is heartbreaking to see your much-loved surroundings devastated.�

She said staff and friends were “working around the clock� to reopen as soon as possible. “Sorrento depends on seasonal business and we have valued customers who look to us for their Christmas list,� Ms McAuliffe said. “We are working hard to restock the shelves, install new flooring and have the store looking better than ever for summer.�

Ringtail possums and tree decline OPINION

By Dr Jeff Yugovic INDIGENOUS eucalypt trees are undergoing a massive decline from Mt Eliza to Mt Martha and beyond with the problem was first noticed by members of Mt Eliza Association For Environmental Care.

Ringtail possum overbrowsing “appears to be the main causal factor�, according to a 2014 study by Ecology Australia commissioned by Mornington Peninsula Shire to investigate the problem in Mt Eliza. The study concluded that the prognosis for remaining eucalypts was “extremely poor�.

Study findings were consistent with my observations. Possum damage is easily diagnosed and the recovery of trees after possum banding has proved that ringtails are killing the trees. Other forms of tree mortality are minor.

The tree decline is linked to dense, scrubby understoreys in which the ringtails evade their only remaining predator, the fox on the ground below.

The major native predators of ringtail possum are locally extinct including aerial and arboreal predators, which is why there is a ringtail overpopulation.

The problem is due to habitat alteration rather than habitat loss.

Recently my research has received attention in this newspaper (“Fox seen as answer to possum problem�, The News, 17/11/15), which caused some controversy. While MEAFEC agrees with EA and me that ringtails are the primary cause of decline, local wildlife experts Mal Legg, Hans

Chomped: Cathy Dowling of Mt Eliza Association For Environmental Care with a possum-damaged tree and its eaten top and hanging branches with uneaten leaves.

Picture supplied

Brunner and Craig Thomson refute this (“Eucalypt dieback not just possums�, The News, 24/11/15).

They don’t live in the affected area or understand the problem. They say that tree decline has many causes, that it is multi-factorial. The EA study and my research have found that the multi-factors are essentially daddy possum, mummy possum and baby possum. Not to diagnose the problem correctly is to delay action, which could cost all of the remaining trees.

The answer to the tree decline is simple and effective – thin the understorey and the tree decline will stop. Possums will be back in balance.

Why? Because there will be less habitat for possums and more possums taken on the ground by foxes, their only remaining predator. Culling is not an option, it is impractical to reintroduce the native predators, and we can’t band all the trees.

Understorey reduction as a management option is identified by Ecology

Australia. Its report suggests this will reduce ringtail habitat suitability and increase the risk of predation. It is fully supported by MEAFEC. Contrary to some claims, this is not a radical solution. Smythe’s 1841 survey showed that understoreys were mostly open at the time of European settlement so the currently dense understoreys are modern. The practical solution is to restore the open understoreys that previously existed.

It doesn’t require any more foxes than already exist. Foxes are everywhere and have proved impossible to eliminate. They partly replace the dingoes.

Yes, control foxes for fauna on the state threatened list, but there are none in the affected area.

Ecological thinning and burning will also greatly reduce the fire hazard in the affected area. As a CFA member I know that fuel loads are very high and there is the potential for very dangerous fires in the area. The possum solution will also address this fire danger in a major way.

Practical tips on diagnosing possum damage and installing possum bands are in the online discussion paper www.spiffa.org/do-ecosystems-needtop-predators.html I would suggest that people download and read this so we can save the remaining trees, with possums in balance and fire hazards reduced. • Jeff Yugovic has an honours degree in botany and genetics from the University of Melbourne, a PhD in ecology from Monash University, and is a senior consultant ecologist with Biosis Pty Ltd.

Mates face charges Program tackles ‘risky drinking’ among oldies over drug driving TWO mates will front the courts together after allegedly being caught drug driving in Moorooduc, Thursday night.

Hastings Highway Patrol and other police pulled over a 27-year-old Rosebud West man at a booze bus operation on the Peninsula Link offramp to Bungower Rd. He allegedly returned a positive oral drug test.

While he was being tested in the booze bus, his mate, of Seaford, was stopped by police when he moving his friend’s car.

Police say they were not surprised when he also allegedly returned a preliminary positive oral drug test. The man, 20, refused to provide a further evidentiary sample and will be charged with refusing an oral fluid test.

He is also expected to be charged on summons with driving while disqualified and stating a false name and address.

First Constable Paul Holtzinger said police would be conducting further traffic operations in the area in the lead-up to Christmas. “It’s disappointing to see people continuing to drive while having illicit drugs in their system,” he said.

“The holiday period is approaching and we want to ensure that everyone is safe on our roads.

“Police along the Mornington Peninsula will continue to target drink and drug drivers through booze buses and targeted operations such as Operation Back-Roads.”

Fishtailing to court A GROUP of motor cycle riders and the driver of a black Commodore sedan – all wearing Comancheros outlaw motorcycle gang colours – drew plenty of attention as they drove in convoy up Main St, Mornington, Sunday morning last week.

Members of Frankston Highway Patrol

watched on as the group stopped at the Esplanade to give way to traffic. But, as they moved off, the Commodore allegedly did a burn-out, fish tailed, lost traction and went through a pedestrian crossing and intersection.

Police later found the car at a service station in Dromana where they arrested the 29-yearold driver. The Epping man is expected to be charged on summons with improper use of a motor vehicle, drive in a manner dangerous, conduct endearing persons, careless driving and drug driving.

He also had his vehicle impounded for 30 days under hoon legislation – costing him $1081 to have it towed.

Fine afternoon’s catch A SHERIFF’S operation in Mornington last week nabbed 16 people with 178 outstanding warrants valued at more than $55,000.

A roadblock on Mornington-Tyabb Rd used numberplate-recognition technology to spot offenders.

Payment was received from 12 people on the day to finalise 45 warrants worth more than $15,000, a spokesperson said.

One driver with six warrants worth more than $2000 was notified that their driver’s licence and vehicle registration would be suspended if they did not arrange to pay within seven days.

“It is disappointing that so many people continue to ignore their fines and let their situation spiral out of control,” Sheriff of Victoria Brendan Facey said.

Anyone with concerns about outstanding fines can call 1300 743 743.

Fines can be paid at fines.vic.gov.au or at any Justice service centre.

AN “alarming increase” in alcohol and other drug-related problems by elderly residents is being tackled by healthcare professionals in what’s billed as an Australian first.

Peninsula Health’s Alcohol and Other Drug Services Program manager Stephen Bright will present the guide at a conference, Thursday.

“When we think about who experiences harm caused by alcohol, most people think about young people,” Dr Bright said.

“However, data shows the rate of risky drinking among young people has been decreasing, while risky drinking among older adults has been increasing.

“There is a similar trend with regard to the consumption of cannabis. This is very concerning.”

Dr Bright says “false assumptions” lead to older residents feeling they can’t ask for help. “Older adults are less likely to engage with traditional treatment services,” he said.

“They may perceive such services to be for younger people, or lacking mobility access or an appropriate ambience. Overseas, numerous services have been developed specifically for older adults.”

Dr Bright said Peninsula Health’s Older Wiser Lifestyles (OWL) – an older-adult-specific treatment service – provided early intervention through community development and age-specific treatment services.

Failing to tackle this growing issue now will have a major impact on future healthcare costs – especially given the rapidly ageing population, he said.

OWL team leader Katherine Walsh said: “Older adults represent a growing population who are experiencing a range of AOD-related harms that are often very specific to this population.

“For example, they often take medications that adversely interact with alcohol, or have medical co-morbidities (more than one illness) that are

No false assumptions: Peninsula Health’s Older Wiser Lifestyles team leader Katherine Walsh with a patient.

exacerbated by alcohol, yet healthcare practitioners often do not ask them about their use of alcohol or drugs based on false assumptions.

“Not asking about drug use and drinking patterns and levels can result in healthcare professionals treating what they believe to be the symptoms of a medical problem, when, in fact, the symptoms are actually related to the use of alcohol or other drugs.”

Peninsula Health partnered with Flinders University to develop the first ever Australian guide for healthcare professionals.

The blow-up we had to have AFFABLE new shire mayor Graham Pittock was given a damned good tryout at his first council meeting of 2015-16. He remained affable almost throughout the four and a half hours the meeting ran. Close to the end all smiles had faded.

It was a heavy agenda, possibly too heavy for a single meeting. Some participants, despite this, adopted a leisurely pace, taking some items up side alleys and down the garden path.

All this came to a head late in the night when tempers were getting frayed. Cr Pittock suggested one exasperated dissident councillor, Anne Shaw, might care to leave the chamber.

Antonella Celi, a leading performer, possibly aiming to develop her debating and procedural skills in pursuit of a parliamentary career, state or federal, was in full voice.

She no doubt was aware that Frankston’s federal MP and dumped Coalition minister Bruce Billson had announced he was quitting politics and maybe sees a chance to live the dream – chauffeured cars, helicopters, fact-finding trips, a ministry, the lot.

Now was her time to build a CV as a debater par excellence. She taunted, she tantalised, she engaged in badinage, she advised the chair how to run the meeting. Her penchant for points of order was in full, vivid flower. She even engaged with the gallery when accused of being antidemocratic, asking them to mind their language.

The blow-up has been a while coming, but its coming was inevitable. And understandable.

Those who used to be known as the “rusted-ons� held sway in the chamber for a decade or more, rarely losing a vote on any issue they supported.

Then, in a byelection just over a year ago, Cr Tim Wood won Red Hill ward and the rustedons’ 6-5 majority became a 5-6 debacle – so far as they are concerned. Politics without power?

Bruce Billson knows how it feels.

Times have changed. Former rusted-on Cr

David Gibb has adapted to the times and is to be commended for it. Cr Anne Shaw battles on, dedicated to her principles and her community, as does Cr David Garnock.

Cr Andrew Dixon must sometimes wonder, as he expressed in a moment of despair late in Monday’s meeting: “What am I doing here?� An existential question many have asked over the millennia.

Then there’s Cr Celi, a strong hyper-active worker in her community, in social media, on committees, attracted moth-like to the glint of a camera lens. She has a heap of admirers, who will not take kindly to this appraisal of her. No matter: that is the burden of a commentator.

Next October will see a new council elected.

Manoeuvring has already started. Which councillors (if any) will call it a day? Who is eyeing off vulnerable seats? How will the numbers fall?

Will we witness the rusted-ons rise like a soufflĂŠ, from 5-6 back to 6-5? What effect would that have on council policy?

Watch this space. We live in interesting times.

Comment sought on bushland fire plans RESIDENTS living near shire bushland reserves or with an interest in them can contribute to new fuel management plans released by the council last week.

The shire has 233 bushland reserves and draft maps for each one will guide fuel management for the next five years.

The plans will be on public exhibition until Thursday 21 January.

The mayor, Cr Graham Pittock, said the overall objective of the maps was to engage the community, assess bushfire threats, and guide risk reduction. “Meaningful risk reduction depends on the shire communicating its plans and work pro-

grams as well as understanding how residents prepare for and respond to fire risk,� he said.

The shire would also seek feedback from peninsula fire brigades. “The shire takes fire fuel management seriously, and strives to achieve both best practice ecological and environmental management as well as ensure and preserve community safety and amenity.�

He said preparations for the fire season included fuel reduction in bush reserves, inspecting more than 4500 blocks of land, community education sessions with the CFA, roadside fire prevention works, patrols of reserves on days of total fire ban, vegetation removal for power line

clearance and road verges.

Simon Thorning of the shire’s natural systems section said opportunities for ongoing input into reserve fuel management planning would be provided through public forums, an online survey, multi-agency events, community group meetings, and “response to service requests�.

He said the shire was spending more than $1.6 million for fire management works – $700,000 on parks and roadsides, and $950,000 for “bushland management and other specialist contractors�.

The maps are on the shire’s website at www. mornpen.vic.gov.au under “Services For You� and then “Fire Emergency Management� or at shire offices in Rosebud, Hastings or Mornington.

Providing paddle power to every one Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IT’S now common at bayside beaches to see someone standing on a surfboard with a long, single-bladed paddle.

The paddlers seem to effortlessly glide past, often silhouetted against a setting sun and sometimes with a dog on board.

Stand up paddleboards (SUPs) provide an enjoyable exercise but, until now, have really been only available to the able bodied.

Matt Drysdale, a committee member of the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch since 2011, decided the SUP experience should be available to everyone.

He explained his desire to make a SUP suitable for the disabled to members of SOLVE, a group of mainly retired “experts” who enjoy the challenge of designing aids for the disabled that are not commercially available.

After a few misses, SOLVE came up with a hit which meant that “test pilot” Jenny Angliss-Goodall could safely sit on a SUP, and even take a small dog along for the ride. In the past Ms Angliss-Goodall has also volunteered to be the first to trial a seat that enables disabled surfers to sit safely on a surfboard during the regular DSA events and be in a wheelchair pulled up a sand dune by a harness.

Both innovations were successful.

Mr Drysdale says his search to create “supability” came a couple of years ago when Ms Angliss-Goodall asked if

he could carry her on his SUP. “That weekend I made up a chair for the board and within two weeks we were testing it,” he said.

“The [first] chair [using a beach chair and PVC piping] was too wobbly and the board didn’t have enough volume to float us both properly.

We had a lot of fun finding this out, though.

“I then made up a set of handlebars to strap onto my other board that had more floatation and it was a success.

I started up the Facebook page and it

and think that every one should have that opportunity.”

The father of three describes himself as “a full time tradie. My spare time is spen between DSAMP, making art, surf, paddling and, since adopting an overweight rescue dog, running a lot”.

With SOLVE on the job to finesse the SUP design, Mr Drysdale now wants to create a beach wheelchair with changeable wheels to be used on any surface.

The wheelchairs will cost about $5000 each and once made will be

has gone from there.”

The first prototype chair made by SOLVE utilised a bar stool and included a strap so the paddle could not be lost overboard.

A second version has been undergoing sea trials at Mothers Beach, Mornington.

Mr Drysdale said it was an “amazing feeling being able to offer an experience [surfing and now SUP riding] that is taken for granted by most of us”.

“I love being out on the salt water

used at all DSAMP events.

He also needs SUP boards of varying sizes and volume and materials to make chairs and support frames for different people.

As well as launching a $12,000 appeal through the crowdfunding site gofundme.com/supability, which had raised more than $1000 by last Friday, Mr Drysdale and Ms Angliss-Goodall also plan to enter the Australia Day fun run.

Meeting ends in uproar

Decoration day: Riders at last year’s Peninsula Toy Run show off their machines in the Frankston pier car park. Picture supplied

Santas on motorbikes YOU know the Christmas season is close when you see Santas on motorbikes.

Vic Trikers and Ulysses Bikers are holding the 15th annual Peninsula Toy Run from Frankston to Rosebud on Saturday.

Riders will assemble in the car park at Frankston pier from 7.30am and depart in convoy at 9.30 sharp.

The run heads down the Nepean Highway to Rosebud via Mornington and Dromana, picking up donations on the way.

Organiser Phil Matthews of Ulysses Club’s Mornington Wanderers branch said the ride was open to all motorcyclists who enjoy travelling in convoy and want to put a smile on the faces of less fortunate people.

“We get between 700 and 1000 riders each year so it’s quite a spectacle,” he said “Families are welcome to come to the pier and see several hundred decorated bikes and riders.

It will be an awesome sight.

“The competition for best decorated rider and best decorated bike is always popular.” Judging is from 8.30-9am.

Donations of new unwrapped toys and canned or packaged food are welcome. Donations go to Southern Peninsula Food For All. They can be dropped off at several locations in the car park or call Phil Matthews on 9766 0758, 0412 532 227 or email peninsulatoyrun@hotmail.com to arrange collection.

Continued from Page 5 After a few uncontroversial items in the weighty agenda, vigorous debate ensued over proposals to send Cr Pittock and Cr Hugh Fraser to Paris for the impending United Nations climate change conference set down for 29 November–11 December.

Cr Wood chaired the discussion on Cr Pittock’s attendance. Mornington Peninsula Shire is one of just 10 Australian local government groups to be invited to the event in recognition of its proactive stance on climate change.

Governance manager Joe Spiteri, questioned on the absence of a food and drink budget among the estimated costs of attendance, said council would expect Cr Pittock to claim for these items on his return.

Closely and repeatedly questioned on total cost, Mr Spiteri said that if the total councillor entitlement of $16,000 for the four-year term was exceeded, the councillor would have to pay any expenditure above the entitlement cap.

Councillors are each entitled to $4000 annually for conference and seminar attendances.

Mr Spiteri also said both councillors had indicated that their commitment to climate change was such that they would, if council voted against paying for their attendance, pay their own way to Paris.

Despite opposition, the attendance in Paris of both councillors was approved. The Paris debate had taken about an hour of a crowded agenda with several substantial items still to come forward.

These forced the meeting over the 11pm deadline and into the allowed final half-hour.

Tension again flared as Cr Pittock strove to get all business finished. The vote split five-all several times, with Cr Pittock used his casting vote to guillotine items amid protests.

Thirteen minutes from the 11.30 meeting cutoff Cr Pittock appealed to councillors to expedite the final items. This plea had little effect. Finally Cr Shaw exploded as a question she wished to ask about the mayor’s acceptance speech was carried

away in the rush.

“We’re just meandering all over the place, going nowhere,” Cr Pittock told the noisy chamber, adding that his actions were within council rules.

“I don’t accept that, I won’t accept that, I have a question…” an exasperated Cr Shaw said.

Cutting across her, Cr Pittock replied: “If you don’t accept it, Madam, you may leave the chamber.”

Uproar ensued, with Cr Shaw and others effectively challenging the mayor’s authority and bringing the meeting to a halt.

Finally a sort of order again prevailed and a motion that a vote be taken on the speech proceeded.

It was carried among heated interjections, particularly from Cr Celi, Cr Dixon and Cr Shaw.

An item of urgent business from Cr Fraser appeared the last straw for a number of councillors.

It sought approval for an urgent legal opinion on whether council should take Supreme Court action against a VCAT decision on a development in Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento.

The meeting had become a free-for-all of protests to the chair, insults, points of order and cross-chamber abuse as the deadline approached.

When order was again restored, Cr Celi asked how it could be assured that the cost of any legal action, which she said could up to $800,000, could come back to council for discussion.

Responding, Cr Fraser, apparently now convinced the matter he moved could not be decided – and would therefore lapse – before the meeting time expired, moved that the meeting be adjourned until 6pm the following day.

This caused a further hubbub, in which it became clear such a meeting could not be held. At this point councillors Shaw and Dixon – who asked rhetorically, “Can we go now?” – left the chamber, Cr Dixon addressed his colleagues as he departed: “Scotch, anyone?”

Contacted later, Cr Pittock said he was confident he faced a bracing year of lively meetings.

“With such a busy agenda, we must seek efficiencies to get through the evening’s business.”

LETTERS Restore habitat I was shocked and horrified to read the editorial by Barry Morris regarding with Ecologist Jeff Yugovic (“Fox seen as answer to possum problem”, The News 17/11/15). I cannot believe an educated person would offer such a short sighted method to the issue of dying eucalypts in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha.

To suggest that destroying the sanctuaries of native ringtail possums so that they will be forced to go to the ground in the hope they will be taken by foxes is so unacceptable.

When the possums are gone and the foxes are a big issue, what then? Foxes maim and sometimes kill small dogs, what then?

This whole problem began when we brought in animals that are feral to this country. We chopped down trees and removed habitat forcing the native animals to do what they have to survive.

Their predators were most likely killed by feral animals and destruction of their habitat and Mr Yugovic offers this idea.

It will only cause more issues. Why not try to reinstate the natural predators by setting aside areas that are native habitat for them and controlling or eliminating the fox issue.

I have a nesting box in a peppermint tree I planted and it has ringtail possums living in it.

I love watching them come out at night sometimes with joey babies on their back. They co-exist without any issues.

Plant more trees and look at the long term picture.

Mary Madigan, Langwarrin

Mixed diet l have heard it all now, using foxes to control ringtail possums in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha (“Fox seen as answer to possum problem”, The News 17/11/15). Does Ecologist Jeff Yugovic understand the behaviour of foxes and their eating habits. People often say to me because we are killing the foxes we are now in a rabbit plague.

That is an old wives’ tale.

A fox may catch a young rabbit and eat it but, like us, they change their diet all year round.

Do we eat chicken seven nights a week? l don’t.

Foxes will kill chickens for fun but l have never heard of them killing possums for fun, they will kill a few to eat.

Foxes are in the top 10 of the most destructive pest animals in Australia and we don’t need to protect them on the Mornington Peninsula, we have enough as it is, around 12 per square kilometre. Please come up with a better plan.

Thrilled by nature I'd like to celebrate the wonderful Wooleys Beach reserve at Crib Point.

Yesterday I wandered along the bush path, tall gums overhead, scented flowering shrubs and bushes with native grasses bordering the earthen path.

Magical, the sounds of birds chirruping and the air scented with native flora and sea breeze.

Minutes into my walk I glanced up to see a boobook owl pop its head out of a tree hollow, a few more steps and a big blue tongue lizard sunbathing on the path.

I started to really look around as I walked, two currawongs flew past, finches, parrots, honey eaters, native birds in profusion. Not one Indian minor.

I looked up, a koala waking from his midday snooze, further along an echidna digging up one of the many ant nests. Ant nests of every equation, tiny bush ants, honey ants and big, red bullants.

As I glanced down I saw a discarded snake skin, thankfully a sign of a recently departed renewed tiger snake.

All this wildlife flourishing in this fragmented tiny sliver of remnant native bush. Its own ecosystem layered with life.

With the recent over enthusiastic cutting down of trees and removal of native vegetation all over the peninsula, it is really important to educate people about what we are losing, one tree at a time.

I encourage everybody to visit Wooleys Beach to experience its beauty and wildlife. Possibly they will then be inspired to create a native wild-

life refuge in their own gardens.

Overhaul tax I think Australia’s tax system needs a complete overhaul.

The federal government could look at models in other countries like the United States and Singapore.

The states should be able to raise more tax instead of relying on handouts from Canberra.

The GST could be a state tax instead of a federal tax where each state is responsible for raising revenue from it and at a percentage they see fit and retain every dollar that is raised.

Of course, the percentage will be competitive to the other states so basically the same, like 12 or 15 per cent.

In the US the states are responsible for raising more tax than they do in Australia, including some income tax.

In Singapore the income tax is a low flat rate like 10 per cent but superannuation is 40 per cent which acts like a personal bank for such things as home loans.

I would like to see all stamp duty tax abolished to make way for a rise in GST and then maybe abolish capital gains tax, but that’s a federal tax.

While the tax system is being reformed the governments need to drive costs down as they seem to be spiralling out of control.

More effort needed Environment Minister Greg Hunt is trying to tell us how good Australia’s effort is for avoiding two degrees of global warming by the end of the century is. He sadly neglects to say that the target Australia has set for its CO2 emissions leaves the hard work to nations that can least afford it.

Australia’s 2030 target should be much closer to 60-70 per cent on 2000 emissions to be fair on a global scale. We should also be investing billions by financing underdeveloped nations to reach carbon neutrality. But under the Abbott government Australia reduced its foreign aid budget.

I hope Mr Hunt will follow up his proud pronouncement that Australia has been elected as co-chair of the Green Climate Fund with a hefty commitment to actually put some of the billions needed into this fund.

Planting trees under the direct action scheme is commendable, but will these trees be monitored for the carbon abatement they are supposed to create? Or is the whole scheme similarly unsupervised like the pink bats affair of a previous government.

If many of these trees are not reaching maturity because of our changed climate, will the parties responsible for accepting credits be held to account? Can Greg Hunt actually show how much carbon has been abated for real since hundreds of millions have been spent?

There is no reason to brag about Australia reaching its 2020 target, because it was so pathetic in the first place. Some of the drivers for reaching this target have actually been almost completely discontinued. The Carbon Tax and rooftop solar and wind power incentives were stymied by the previous prime minister because he believed global warming was crap. This all happened on our local MP Greg Hunt’s watch as Environment Minister.

Danger time While the build-up to Christmas is a busy period for every workplace, it should never be a dangerous one.

WorkSafe statistics show more Victorian workers die in the eight weeks leading up to Christmas than at any other time of the year.

We know that many businesses are rushing to finish projects so deadline pressures may be a factor. And we know that that many fatalities involve experienced workers doing routine jobs, particularly on farms. It only takes seconds for things to go very wrong, so carefully consider each job before starting.

The simple fact is that every workplace fatality is preventable. If employers have the safe systems in place to protect their workers, if people stop to plan each day with safety in mind, and if

Labor’s jobs loss Last week’s devastating data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has clearly demonstrated yet again the Andrews Labor government’s bad habit of saying one thing and doing another.

One year ago Daniel Andrews said he would create 100,000 jobs within two years, but he has done nothing to create or sustain a single job, with 6600 full time jobs having been lost on the Mornington Peninsula alone.

The cancellation of the Port of Hastings development, along with the thousands of jobs it would have brought, while planning to again dredge Port Phillip and blast the Heads, the refusal to fund the Penbus or the Hastings submarine project and the cancellation of the restoration of Point Nepean Quarantine Station, are among the major blows this Labor government has already dealt to people in need of a job, and their families, on the peninsula.

Because the Andrews Labor government has only been interested in cancelling projects, such as the east west and airport links, and spending a billion dollars of taxpayer funds to do so, means that Daniel Andrews has not even tried to keep his promise on jobs to Victorians.

The only job creation scheme Daniel Andrews has actually implemented was when he paid Labor Party employees with taxpayer money to get himself elected as premier - a shameful and disgraceful abuse of trust.

This Labor government is demonstrating it will always put itself first and Victorians last.

Daniel Andrews and the Labor Party have demonstrated their contempt for the Mornington

Peninsula.

Electronic tags for library THE shire will spend almost $500,000 on a system to manage 200,000 items in its four libraries and one mobile library.

The so-called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system will see an electronic tag fixed to books and other items and allow them to be tracked, checked-out by borrowers, and returned through a chute and onto conveyor belts for sorting at the libraries in Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings and Somerville.

In a report to the council, libraries planning coordinator Donna Thompson stated the project would reduce waiting times, increase access to library customer service officers, and improve access to library collection items.

“To address the increasing community demand and funding pressures, libraries are constantly looking for innovative ways to deliver high-value services in a cost-effective way,” she stated.

Ms Thompson said the system would reduce the manual handling of “1.5 million loans, 200,000 renewals and 1.3 million returns each year” as well as “reduce library collection item theft, reduce OH&S risk caused by high-volume repetitive tasks, and introduce stock management capabilities”.

The system includes RFID software and hardware; item tags and “tagging stations”; “customer service kiosks”; security gates; return chutes and shelves; and bins, sorters and trolleys.

Councillors approved the tender from FE Technology of South Geelong for just over $487 ,000.

The Balnarring Picnic Racing Club will be holding their Christmas meeting on Saturday December 5. This is the meeting where many companies and family groups attend and have their staff & family Christmas parties in the beautiful grounds of the racecourse. Much work goes into preparing the grounds and course for the day and the following is just a small insight into what occurs before the racing commences. Michael Binney is a Vice President of the club and as track manager his race day commences well before the crowds arrive.

It is around six o clock in the morning at the Balnarring racecourse. As the light starts to lengthen over the racecourse, a lone horse gallops around the track with a former jockey on the horses back.

Having a horse gallop over the racecourse on the morning of the race meeting is a requirement of Racing Victoria. As the track manager my role is to get feedback from the rider as to what condition the track is in. After the gallop is completed, and over the preceding two days prior to the meeting some ninety readings have to be taken from given points around the track. These readings are taken with a device called the “Penetrometer.” Armed with all of the above information I then make an assessment of what rating the track shall be for the days racing. Once I have made my assessment of the track rating, I send that information to Racing Australia who must receive it by 7am. Every race club that race that day must comply with the regulations regarding track ratings.

The reason that the readings have to be submitted by 7am is for trainers to assess whether any horses they have racing that day will handle the track conditions. If they a trainer decides that the track condition may not suit there horse or its chance of winning, they can scratch the horse. But they the trainer is also bound by the rule that states, if they do not scratch the horses prior to 7.30 DP WKH\ PD\ LQFXU D ˉQH 7KLV DUWLFOH JLYHV \RX D ORRN EHKLQG WKH VFHQHV RI ZKDW KDV WR EH GRQH WR conduct a race meeting. In the next article I shall take you behind the scenes again.

CRAFTED from West Australian sandstone, this magnificent rural-residential property combines the best of natural materials with a contemporary style and superb quality throughout. Enjoying a tranquil setting on about 6500 square metres in the always popular Kinfauns Estate, the home is set well back from the road privately ensconced amongst the trees. Wonderful timber decking features to all sides of the property which greatly increases the already considerable size of the home - there is also a four-car garage under the roof line - and certainly with the warmer months here will be an entertainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise on summer nights. A spectacular alfresco deck seamlessly

opens through concertina doors to a formal lounge which in itself is the true standout feature of the home. A massive sandstone wall dominates the room, with soaring cathedral ceilings and exposed beams equally majestic. Amongst the more contemporary stylings of the nearby dining, kitchen and family room, the rich spotted gum timbers used here create an amazing contrast that is absolutely breathtaking.

The kitchen is another design marvel, answering every storage need with a host of soft-close cupboards and drawers. Appliances include a stainless-steel oven, range hood and double-drawer dishwasher with servery windows opening out to the verandah and outdoor entertaining area.

Three bedrooms all have built-in robes and share the main bathroom with spa bath, and a powder room. A separate study could be a fifth bedroom if required. The upstairs zone is a superb retreat for parents with an enormous main bedroom enjoying a private balcony which overlooks the property, a walk-in robe and the splendid ensuite has a frameless walk-in shower, twin vanities and a spa bath.

There is a healthy amount of lawn area around the home for children and pets to really enjoy themselves and lowmaintenance landscaping to the front of the home includes native grasses and palm trees, with one particularly large palm tree a great focal point as you enter the property.

Nets ban snares fishermen Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE lost campaign to continue commercial fish netting in Port Phillip has had a devastating impact on established participants.

One Rye fisherman of long standing was too upset to talk last week with his livelihood – and way of life – coming to an end.

Seafood Industry Victoria CEO Johnathon Davey said many bay fishermen, after fighting the impending ban for five or even 10 years, had “developed mental health issues which have not been thought through” by decision-makers.

The Fisheries Amendment Bill 2015 passed in state parliament last week specifies that net fishing will be phased out by 2022, with Corio Bay closed to all netting from 1 April 2018.

This was a key commitment of the state government’s Target One Million plan for recreational fishing, which aims to get more people fishing, more often, and increasing participation to one million by 2020.

Proponents of the ban say it will increase recreational catch rates and the size of fish available for anglers over the next seven years.

But commercial netters, including those at the southern end of the bay, point out that they have sustainably netted quality table fish for generations alongside recreational anglers.

They feel hard hit by the ban which they say will deny buyers access to fresh fish at the Melbourne markets, and that compensation packages are inadequate.

The most popular species sought are flathead, whiting, bream, snapper, gummy shark, squid, garfish, trevally,

flathead, barracouta and slimly mackerel.

The legislation also specifies how compensation will be determined for the 43 commercial licence holders and provides for a non-netting fishery – such as long-lining – of up to eight licence holders from 1 April 2022.

Seafood Industry Victoria’s Davey said the “vast majority of the community does not understand what the ban will mean. By April, when the licences are bought out, about 500-600 tonnes of fresh fish annually will no longer be available to consumers,” he said.

“We are asking the government ‘Where will the fish come from?’

That’s what we would like to know.

Restrictions in other areas [of the state and nationally] mean we will not be able to cater to demand and this will mean consumers have to buy imported fish.”

He scoffed at claims the bill included a “generous compensation package”, saying the loss of the industry would financially ruin previously sound family businesses.

The decision to reduce payments over the seven-year buy-out period “to encourage early exit from the fishery” was also gutting fishermen whose lives were being turned upside down.

“The bay’s a unique fishery,” he said. “It offers a sustainable resource and fishermen use methods that are ecologically friendly.”

He said markets would be affected by a shortage of quality local fish which would then have to be imported.

Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford said compensation payments would depend on catch histories and “will provide proper recognition of individual investment and loss of income to licensees”.

“The government appreciates that this decision impacts on the livelihood of licence holders, many of whom are multi-generational fishers with strong family connections to the industry.

“The phasing out commercial net fishing will get more people fishing, more often, right here on Melbourne’s doorstep. “[It] will attract more visitors to this prime fishing destination, boosting local economies and supporting local businesses.”

Melbourne Seafood Centre chairman Andrew McLaughlin said the “biggest loser” would be the consumer. “They’ve got a beautiful array of fish that’s available to them in retail shops and restaurants.

“They all utilise that fish and it’s not going to be available to them anymore. And it’s the sort of thing that they won’t realise until it’s gone.”

Buyout spells end of the line for fresh fish era Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON fisherman Neville Hutchins was in a sombre mood last week when he found out legislation to ban commercial netting in Port Phillip had been passed in the Parliament.

“We knew it was coming but Dalton [his brother and fishing business partner] and I are very disappointed.

Our customers are ropeable and I don’t think many of them will vote Labor in future.”

More than 2500 people have signed his petition in the past year calling on the government to reverse its decision.

The brothers are fourth generation peninsula fishermen with George Hutchins arriving at Mt Martha in the 1850s and several other family members working the waters off the southern peninsula and Mornington in the 1800s through till now.

But it will be the end of the line for the Hutchins when they hand back their fishing licences as the government phases out commercial net fishing by 2022.

And a fifth generation Hutchins will never get the chance to carry on the family business – Dalton's 16-year-old son Scott.

Neville Hutchins is also disappointed about the way the government intends to compensate Port Phillip’s 43 commercial licence holders, only 27 of who are active (he and Dalton have one each that costs $4500 a year).

“The licence has to be renewed every April and the government will remove 10 per cent of the value of a licence for every year we renew,” he said. This would mean many licence holders giving up fishing well before 2022.

A question mark hangs over over compensation for the Hutchins fish shop on Fishermans Beach, Mornington, where the brothers sell about 10 tonne of fresh snapper, whiting, salmon, garfish and mullet each year taken between Olivers Hill at Frankston and Safety Beach. An earlier version of the shop was built in 1890.

Neville Hutchins said licence compo would be based on the “three worst years” of the past five years of catches.

He said when the government banned net fishing in Western Port just before the 2006 election, “we received $2000 each”.

“The net ban hasn’t made any difference to fish stocks in Western Port and it won’t in Port Phillip,” he said.

However, there was a thriving black market for Western Port fish and the same would happen in Port Phillip with amateur fishers selling their catch, he said.

There will be a shortage of local bait for amateur fishers. “There’s a bloke working out of Williamstown who takes about 100 tonne a year of pilchards and white bait [anchovies] so that goes,” he said.

And what will the Hutchins brothers do after handing over their licences? “I can’t speak for Dalton, but I'm 64 next birthday. I know nothing except fishing.

Perhaps I’ll sit on the beach and remember the good times.”

Southern Peninsula News 1 December 2015

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Xmas treat for Langwarrin soldiers Compiled by Melissa Walsh ON and after 1st inst, the morning mail for Melbourne will close at 9.15 a.m, in lieu of 7.55 a.m. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale at the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington on Friday next of household furnishings in the assigned estate of Mrs A. E. Bell. *** THE “Wattle,” Club will hold a euchre party and dance in aid of the Wounded Soldiers’ fund, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday 11th inst. Good prizes will be given to the successful players and at the conclusion of the play a short dance will be held. *** THE Archbishop of Melbourne will be in Frankston on Thursday evening next, when a Confirmation service will be held at ten minutes past eight at St Paul’s Church. Candidates for Confirmation will be presented by Rev G. A. Kitchen, Vicar of Frankston and Rev R. H. L. Croker, Vicar of Aspendale. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a big yarding of stock. At the same time they will offer for sale on liberal terms the farm of Mr A. Jacobs, situated two miles from Mornington, on the corner of Hastings and Balnarring road, containing about 12¾ acres. ***

THE opening of the tennis season was celebrated at Somerville on Saturday last, when a team from the Naval Base engaged the local players.

After an enjoyable afternoon’s sport, victory rested with the home team.

Refreshments were provided for the visitors and public by Mr G. Keast, who has been re-elected to the position of President of the Somerville Club. *** AT a public meeting held at Mordialloc during the week, Cr. White presiding, it was resolved to make an effort to give the soldiers at Langwarrin Camp a Xmas treat. A strong committee was formed, and £30 was collected at the meeting.

Mrs Coyle was deputed to act as organiser and collector at Frankston, and she will be pleased to receive donations in cash or kind, which will be acknowledged through these columns.

Five pounds has already been collected to date. We expect a liberal response to such an appeal. *** The wedding of Mr William Herbert (Paddy) Gomm, ‘”Glenboya” Somerville, to Jean, eldest daughter of the late William Firth and Mrs Firth, “Orkney Farm”, Somerville, was quietly celebrated at St Auselm’s Church of England, Middle Park, on November 20th, the Rev A. P. McFarlane being the officiating clergyman.

After the ceremony the party motored to the residence of Mrs J. D.Graf’s “Arundel”, Bloomfield

road, Ascot Vale (sister of the bridegroom) where the wedding breakfast was partaken of, and a very enjoyable time was spent, the happy couple left later for a short honeymoon. *** AT the conclusion of the business of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council on Thursday, Driver A. G. Young, who is at present on a furlough after having served some fifteen months at the front, received a warm welcome from the President and Councillors assembled.

Congratulatory remarks were made on his return and hopes expressed that he would soon be fully restored to health. Driver Young, in responding, thanked the Crs for the unexpected honor they had conferred upon him, and said that as soon as he was fit he was prepared to resume his duties at the front. *** THE following is a report of a combined meeting of the Tyabb ladies Red Cross branch, with A. N. A. committee, forwarded to us by the secretary: —At the invitation of the Combined Picnic and A.N A. day committee, the Tyabb Ladies Red Cross branch met them in conference on Friday night, 26th ultimo.

It was extremely gratifying to the combined committee to note the intense interest taken by the ladies in the doings of the committee, by such a large attendance. The chairman, on opening the meeting, gave a short, descriptive account of the doings and future aims of the committee, and

DECLARATION OF THE FIRE DANGER PERIOD The Fire Danger Period will commence in Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston City Council areas at 1am on Monday 30th November 2015

in his concluding remarks called for suggestions from the ladies as to the most fitting way they thought they could help best on A.N.A. day.

After a general conversation it was finally decided that a Grand Fete should be held on the recreation ground on A.N.A. day, that the ladies would supervise the stalls, and other special items of interest, while the gentlemen carried out a programme of amusing competitions within the arena. *** THE usual good attendance was again present at the Red Cross social, on the 19th ult. The fund will benefit to the extent of over £3. The sum of £2 11s was also raised by raffling a handsome home-made cosy, and a bottle of champagne, both gifts of Mrs L. Nichol.

Mr H. Simcock, of Somerville, succeeded in winning the champagne, and Miss E. Hollier the cosy. This local branch has received a free roll of flannel, valued at £3 12s from the Central Depot, for having purchased a like amount during November.

Up to the present the ladies have been making up two of these rolls into garments each month. Up to the present time very little progress has been made by the fruitgrowers’ association towards taking over the Government Cool Stores. The committee found that there are many problems to be faced, and that some consideration is necessary before taking the last step. ***

REFERENCE was recently made in “The Age” to a family of seven sons, all of whom were enlisted for active service. This record has now been equalled by the family of Mrs Fisher, of Newell street, Footscray, who also has seven sons serving in the Expeditionary Force.

Brigadier-General R. E. Williams, State Commandant, stated on Thursday that he had received the following particulars with regard to the family. The names of the seven sons were as follows:—Sergeant-Major E. Fisher, D.C.M., who also saw service in South Africa; Lieutenant W. Fisher, of Frankston, twice wounded at the Dardenelles; Sergeant T. J. Fisher, wounded at the Dardenelles; Sergeant-Major T. R. Fisher; Corporal M. J. Fisher, killed in action at the Dardenelles ; Private G. Fisher, and Private Eli Fisher. The record is a particularly fine one, in as much as that in a family of seven sons one holds commissioned rank, and no fewer than four are non- commissioned officers. *** DANDENONG Market. Monday, Nov 30th. Alex. Scott and Co., report:— A large number of milkers and springers forward and prices were again firmer. Milkers from £9 2s 6d to £17 10. Springers from £10 to £22, store cattle, heavy yarding and prices about the same. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 December, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The unbearable lightness of being an idiot

By Stuart McCullough PITY the youth. Once you could be young and behave like a complete twerp and (relatively speaking) very few people would know about it. It was all part of growing up. You could do or say something irretrievably stupid, make a total goose of yourself and learn something from the experience.

With any luck, these missteps might even make you a better person. The rules, however, have changed. Now we have the Internet and all kinds of social media and the means by which to make a huge spanner of yourself in front of a vast audience have never been more accessible.

A few weeks ago, a private school student succeeded in humiliating himself by making some stupid comments on Facebook. In short, he lorded it over his fellow students solely because he’d attended a private school.

He even went so far as to thank his parents for having the vision to send him to such a prestigious educational institution before imploring fellow students to say ‘hi’ to him one day in the future, when he’s their boss. Not so very long ago, if such thoughts had been expressed aloud, they’d have been greeted with incredulity, some name-calling and an atomic wedgie.

But it doesn’t work like that anymore.

Nowadays, being an adolescent who acts like a dill isn’t something done in comparative private. Rather, it can now land you on the front page of a major metropolitan newspaper. That, in turn, means a whole bunch of people who are older and, at least in theory, wiser will make comments about

PAGE 40

your stupid comments that are, themselves, teetering dangerously towards being silly. The resulting maelstrom of absurdity that followed was a sight (and sound) to behold.

I wouldn’t call it a ‘controversy’ as such. More a brouhaha of epic proportions (and if anything deserves

Southern Peninsula News 1 December 2015

the mantle of ‘brouhaha’, it’s this).

As I drove home from work, the repercussions of ‘Twerp-Gate’ were everywhere on the radio. People were ringing in, aching to pass judgment on the school kid responsible for these ill-considered remarks. Many could not contain their fury, treating the

Facebook remarks less like the ramblings of teenager on social media and more like a declaration of class war.

Had both tar and feathers been readily available, doubtless many of them would gladly have metered out their own brand of rough justice.

But it wasn’t just ordinary punters ringing in to vent their fury. Columnists wasted precious ink by providing detailed analyses of the Facebook comments and pontificating at length about what such comments meant about our society as a whole; the conflict between public and private education and how such remarks pose a threat to our broader social cohesion.

All of it was nonsense. It’s worth remembering that the people writing these profoundly stupid things are paid professionals. The child responsible for the Facebook post was merely an amateur.

As the talkback frenzy continued, I couldn’t help but wonder what it all meant. Plainly, there were some obvious lessons to be learned; chief among them being that the time has come to abolish talk back radio altogether given that it has so plainly outlived its usefulness. It’s also clear that ‘outrage’ is now a form of entertainment all by itself. Worst of all, it now seems that the space left for young people to make mistakes without being pilloried by a bunch of adults frothing at the mouth has been vastly reduced.

After several days that made the Salem Witch Trials look like a minor misunderstanding in comparison, I began to reflect upon the many, many stupid things I did as a teenager. To take but one example of my youthful

exuberance gone horribly awry, for several years I sported a ponytail. I also had acid wash jeans, boots with buckles and earrings. No, really. I must have looked like a nerdy pirate.

If that doesn’t deserve an entire afternoon of calls to the wireless, I don’t know what does. And yet, these atrocities were not front-page news. I was allowed to be a bit of an idiot until I figured things out for myself.

Let me be blunt; the Facebook post was arrogant and silly. His peers told him so. In fact, the other students on the page held him accountable. That’s probably as it should be. Being young is a fragile thing. Humiliation is an inevitable part of growing up and it’s how you figure out where the boundaries are. I suspect that many of the outraged hoards pictured this young person basking in the controversy whilst luxuriating in a castle, sitting on an iron throne and stroking a bald cat whilst planning world domination.

I very much doubt it.

I suspect that the teenager, his parents and the school involved were all embarrassed. A little embarrassment can be a good thing, but it’s important to keep a sense of proportion. Upon reflection, maybe I should have called talkback radio. Perhaps even written a letter to the editor. If I were more technologically capable, I might even have gone onto Facebook. I wouldn’t have posted a rambling message of support. Just a photo. Of me as a teenager, complete with ponytail, earrings, boots and acid wash jeans. That, I feel, would have been enough. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE TEA PARTY’S JEFF MARTIN SET TO TAKE FRANKSTON BY STORM

By Andrew Dixon

“My roots are here now. It’s a very spiritual place, and a big part of my creativity,” Martin explains. It’s the birthplace of their latest album The Ocean at the End; a quiet place “with no clock on the wall” that’ll serve as a base for The Tea Party’s song writing efforts going forward.

Moonlighting as a producer, Martin’s role with The Tea Party is two-fold. “Most of the time I’ll present a musical schematic to the band – a little riff, some lyrics, or something like that… and then as a producer, it’s like an architect going back to the first drawings after the building’s complete.” Without it, they just couldn’t have maintained their signature sound – this level of creative control is a rare gift for the eclectic musicians, from writing through to production. “The friendship that exists between the three of us, the longevity of the relationship going back to when we were five or six years old, that vast expanse of musical influence… it would be very hard to understand if you hadn’t been a part of it all along.

You’d have to have a pretty vast musical encyclopedia!”

“In the 90s I had a beautiful home in old Montreal… it’s where we created The Edges of Twilight and Transmission.

Riverhouse reminds us of those wonderful times, where we were free to explore. The proof was in the pudding… this house provides the same thing. It’s pretty exciting to think of what might come in the next few years.”

Not all bands manage to come back from such an extended hiatus. Fed up with the way The Tea Party was being handled, Martin left the band and Canada for the rolling plains of Ireland, where he

rediscovered his love for acoustic guitar.

It’s where he raised his first kid, Jacob, and developed that 20/20 hindsight used to look back and see just what a powerful force the music of The Tea Party was for them all. “Things were changing at EMI. Everyone’s record sales were down, especially in rock music, and the record companies were scrambling… it became a case of too many cooks in the kitchen.”

They were trying times, both professionally and personally. “I wasn’t happy, I stopped looking after myself…

I needed a break. I needed to find the reason for making music again, and my years in Ireland did that for me.” He describes a literal “addiction” to the band’s music, being “so much greater” than the sum of its parts. “In the years that the three of us were apart, what seemed like insurmountable differences began to look quite petty… it wasn’t about money or fame or anything like that – the power of the music that The Tea Party makes was something we just couldn’t stay away from.”

Rather than jumping back into bed with EMI, the band’s currently making arrangements with a new label. “The three of us are concentrating on getting new music out there, celebrating it with the fans and doing some touring.

We’re not the type of band to rest on our laurels, but watch this space!”

In the meantime, the Jeff Martin will be getting back to his musical roots, revisiting the classic acoustic sound he mentioned for the pending Victorian tour. He’ll be appearing at Pier Live in Frankston for the southern leg, with other dates scheduled all over the state. “After the big, beautiful monster that The Tea Party is, I’m really looking forward to it!”

Having recently completed The Edges of Twilight re-release tour on the big stages with the band, Jeff’s acoustic gigs will provide some contrast – more intimate venues and a spiritual edge, but the same stellar tracks and hypnotic voice oozing tranquillity and soul.

Make sure you catch Jeff Martin at Pier Live in Frankston on Friday 11 December. Tickets from the venue (call 9783 9800) or www.moshtix.com.au

Few rock bands exude a musical culture born of global influence with the finesse and polish of The Tea Party. 1.6 million albums sold worldwide under EMI and a cult Australian following are testament to that. The Canadian rockers took an extended break in 2005 but have come back with a vengeance, touring extensively in Australia and Canada and even releasing a new album since reforming in 2011. Frontman Jeff Martin now calls Australia home, having built a secluded musical retreat on 100 acres just outside of Byron Bay. He calls his new rural studio ‘Riverhouse’.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Mounties in more strife PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully Mt Elizaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season went from bad to worse on Saturday, being bowled out for 121 against Long Island. Languishing just above Rye at the bottom of the ladder, the Mountiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top order were brittle as the team slumped to 6/35. Nick Baron (26), Matt Travena (26) and Jordan Fuhrmann (22) were the only batsmen to break 20, while skipper Justin Grant again failed with the bat, making just 12 runs.

Long Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening bowlers

Scott Phillips and Andrew Tweddle were superb as usual. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Flippaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowled 21 overs and finished with sensational figures of 4/26, including 11 maidens.

Tweddle was equally as impressive, claiming 4/44 from 21 overs. Long Island faced the last seven overs of the day and were 0/16 at stumps.

The Peninsula Old Boys have already picked up the win against Pines. The Piners batted first on Saturday at the Peninsula School and were bowled out for just 87. Jarred Coad top scored for Pines with 32.

Adam Gailitis and Zac Fillipone were firmly in control with the ball for the Old Boys, with three and six wickets respectively. In reply, POB went for quick runs and batted for 34 overs, netting 7/104 before declaring and sending Pines back in. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll resume at 2/52.

Crib Point is in a commanding position in its match against Langwarrin. The Magpies batted first and were in some early trouble, before Luke Herrington (49) and Matt Blake (80) took control. Henry Dol-

phin also contributed 33. Daniel Bray returned to the First XI for the Kangas and snared 4/56, while skipper Travis Campbell got some early breakthroughs and picked up 4/62. In reply, Langwarrin is 1/4 with opener Simon McEvoy back in the sheds.

Baxter has set Sorrento a sizable task in their clash of titans. Daniel Warwick was back in the First IX and helped himself to 65, while Ben Metters scored 48 and Dale Irving 47.

Chris King was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers, with 5/79. Sorrento

now sits at 1/14.

Moorooduc has already beaten Rye. The Demons again failed to get to 100, such is their lack of confidence right now. Adam Bayly picked up 5/6 off 12 overs for the Ducs, including a devastating spell of 4/0. In reply, Mooroduc faced the final 36 overs of the day and finished on 4/98.

Ben Williams opened the batting with 52.

Mornington has left Somerville with some work to do after making 242.

Lions being tamed

DISTRICT

By IT Gully CARRUM is in a world of pain as it enters the second day of its match against Flinders. After bowling out Flinders for 227, Carrum slumped, scoring an ordinary 4/29 after facing the final 14 overs of the day.

Boom recruit and skipper Andy Johnson again failed with the bat, caught by Simon Parrott off the bowling of Matt Burns for a blob.

Johnson has just 54 runs in four hits for the season.

Fellow recruit Jake Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri was also removed without troubling the scorers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his side was reeling when Shaun Foster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as usual â&#x20AC;&#x201C; came to the rescue, hitting 18 runs to stop the carnage. Dwayne Field finished the day for the Sharks, bowling an impressive 2/0. Burns finished with 2/9.

Earlier in the day, the bottom order did the job for Flinders after they too found strife early at 5/47. Shane Beggs hit 49, Blake HoganKeogh 36 and Max Royal 47 to bring the home side 227 runs in 65.3 overs. Timmy Clements also scored a respectable 32. Liam Dobson was the best of the Carrum bowlers, with 4/51.

Mt Martha, despite scoring just 142 against Pearcedale, has a reasonable prospect of victory at the close of day one. The Reds batted first and made 142, with Jake Smart producing what we have come to expect with 71.

The talented Sam Frawley stepped up to the plate for the Panthers and picked up 5/23, while â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mr Consistentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Shayne Gillings claimed 2/24. The Reds needed to produce something special with the ball, and they did.

Curtis Stone claimed 2/6 from eight overs to have Pearcedale 4/39. Chris Dew and Gillings are the not-

out batsmen, while Shane Maggs is not playing in this game.

Boneo has set Main Ridge a massive target of 294 for victory after making their highest score (8/293) for some time.

The Baden Powell juggernaut continues after the home side belted 7/314 against Delacombe Park.

The Braves are sky high on confidence right now, and Tom Wood has been a sensation. He was right amongst the runs again on Saturday, scoring a clean century. It was his first three-figure performance for the year, having hit 78, 84, 7 and 79.

Wood has 432 runs for the season, including 55 in the Jack Peacock Cup. Fellow opener Nathan Cassano was cruising to three figures too before being run out on 69.

Rhys Elmi joined the action with 61, while Elias Carter was out in force with 45.

Red Hill is cruising to victory against the Seaford Tigers, who were rolled for 130. Glenn Collett headlined the Hillmen attack with 3/30, while Lincoln Toy claimed 3/30 to give him 13 wickets for the season. Mattty Meagher topscored for the Tigers with 40 runs. In reply, the Hillmen are 0/59 from 22 overs.

Heatherhill has set Seaford a target of 176 for victory. The Hills batted first with Kristian Miller at it again, scoring 54. Christian Heath supported him well with 48, but Faisal Payenda was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 4/45. Seaford is now 1/6.

BURDETTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Matthew Whelan can do anything on a cricket field. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely talented and his best is as good as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. On Saturday against Skye, Whelan strode to the crease with his side in a spot of bother at 2/37, but left the ground with the team score at 301. Whelan had 174 next to his name.

Together with Travis French, who scored 80, Whelan dominated the Skye attack and set the side up for a solid victory after completing 80 overs on 9/327. Pat Clinch picked up three wickets for Skye.

Frankston YCW made tough work of batting their 80 overs against Dromana, scoring just over two runs an over to finish at 7/169. Jack Greenwood opened with 37 and Levi McLoughlin-Dore made 58 batting seventh to help the home side see out their overs. Aaron Kaddatz was the best of the Dromana bowlers with 2/17 from 13 overs.

Hastings is less than 50 runs short of victory, with eight wickets in hand after dominating day one of their match against Balnarring at Thomas Barclay Reserve. Balnarring were bowled out for just 93, Tim Birch dominating with the ball for the Blues, claiming 4/16 from 20 overs and Luke Hewitt 3/26 from 18 overs. Isuru Dias chimed in at the end with 2/3 from 5.2 overs. In reply, Hastings lost their openers with a mere 12 runs, before talking control and finishing on 2/52.

A 100-plus partnership between Pete Doughty and Matt Maher has Rosebud in a strong position against Ballam Park. The Knights will chase 243 for victory after Rosebud made 6/242, coming back from 6/137.

Motoring Live radio broadcast celebrates Alfa Romeo launch HEAD on down to Mornington Park this Thursday and see 3AW’s Neil Mitchell broadcast live, thanks to Bayside Alfa Romeo. He’ll be there from 8.30 through until midday, talking about the issues facing Melbourne and the country, as well as drawing the winner of “Neil’s Valuable Player” from a pool of weekly winners throughout the year.

“Neil’s a doyenne of news broadcasters and he will be broadcasting from Mornington Park. It’ll be great for Mornington and great for the Peninsula – a unique event for locals and car enthusiasts alike”, says Brad Fitzsimmons from Bayside Automotove Group.

“Plus we’re going to see someone drive away in a $30,000-plus Alfa Romeo Julietta.”

Neil Mitchell will also be unveiling the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider – the vehicle’s Australian debut. “The 4C’s obviously a very unique car, there’s

about 100 in Australia, but this is the first Spider that’s been seen!”

Each week the winner of “Neil’s Valuable Player” gets to drive an Alfa Romeo for the weekend, and goes into the draw to win the Guillietta at the end of the year.

“This will be the second one given away through Neil Mitchell and 3AW. It’ll be a live broadcast this year, so it’s sure to be an exciting event.

There’ll be coffee and food available on site, and the Alfa Romeo car club will be out in force, no doubt bringing a host of restored classic with them,” says Brad.

“The car club could bring anything!

It’s going to be a really fun event and really sums up the unique nature of Alfa Romeo – it’s not a car, it’s an Alfa Romeo!”

Brad’s going to be there too, no doubt fielding questions about the new 4C Spider. He might even be taking orders!
