Seat, rated as one of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dangerous bushfire areas.

The summit at present has no bushfire shelter. Parks Victoria is responsible for the site but there has never been a suggestion a fire shelter would be built there, despite the authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anticipation of greater crowds attracted by the gondola ride.

A member of the Save Our Seat pro-

test group, Alison Laird, made a submission to councillors about Skyliftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency procedures. Councillors then questioned her, and bushfire expert Amalie Tibbits, representing Skylift, for more than an hour.

The emergency plans include who is in charge in an emergency and procedures for getting passengers out of the gondolas.

AUSTRALIA DAY

Shire recognises, rewards community works Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au HASTINGS resident Aline Burgess has been named Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2016 Citizen of the Year.

The awards were announced at Rosebud Memorial Hall on Australia Day. The shire’s Young Citizen of the Year, Tia McLean, is a year 12 student at Mt Eliza Secondary College, and Event of the Year is Balnarring Community Sustainability Fair, with the award presented to coordinator Pea Saunders.

Ms Burgess’s role as foundation secretary of the Peninsula Carer Council in 2004 was said to be a continuation of her tireless advocacy for people with mental illness over 30 years, having moved to Hastings to be near her son who was living independently.

“I am grateful and appreciative and accept it on behalf of all the carers on the peninsula,” Ms Burgess said.

The Peninsula Carer Council provides support and resource information to carers of people with a mental illness on the peninsula and advocates on their behalf under her mantle: “No carer is ever left alone”.

Ms Burgess’s citation reads: “Through her selflessness and compassion for others, she has raised public awareness and understanding of people with mental illness, their families and carers.”

Peninsula Carer Council is now said to be recognised locally, state-wide and nationally, with a monthly drop-in centre, web page, 1300 number linked to Ms Burgess’s mobile and 154 members on its books.

“My job is to refer people to members’ representatives on the committees,” she said.

Recalling the early days of the PCC, Ms Burgess said its first piece of hardware was a filing cabinet. “We gradually built up a library and then received assistance from the state government and we were away,” she said, of the carers who “get together and have a lot of laughs”.

Myths and misunderstandings surrounding mental illness clouded its true nature, Ms Burgess said. “It’s a health issue rather than a criminal issue,” she said, citing its causes as possibly genetic, drugs, a breakdown, or mental stress.

“People are now realising that a quick dose of medication is not the answer; rather there’s the need for solid investment in the causes and treatment.”

Summing up the carers’ attitude to mental illness, she quipped: “We are not waiting for the storm to pass, we are learning to dance in the rain.”

Young Citizen of the Year Tia McLean lives in Langwarrin and is a member of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Youth Advisory Group.

She says the award has stirred her passion for community work.

Tia officiated at the opening of the Mornington Youth Centre, hosting the official ceremony section and making a speech on behalf of young people.

She helped make a short film which was submitted to last year’s Mornington Peninsula

Shire Youth Services youth film festival and was funded by the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza to attend the Magic Moments camp, Sydney, which brings together outstanding young leaders from all over Australia.

Her citation said Tia had shown “strong leadership” in advocating for better mental health among the peninsula’s young people.

She organised a peninsula-wide youth summit that brought together students from various schools to discuss four main topics which affect her fellow students and friends. They are mental illness, body image, nutrition and bullying.

Her ambition is to be a social worker. She has an interest in working with children who have suffered through family violence.

Tia organised funding for the day through Mt Eliza Bendigo Bank, Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza, and also arranged buses from Budget Rent-a-Car to trans-

port the students free of charge.

Balnarring Community Sustainability Fair – named Event of the Year – raises funds for Balnarring Primary School’s community wetlands and sustainability programs.

School staff and parents organised the fair in November 2012 to “inform, educate and inspire the wider community to work towards a more sustainable future”.

More than 1800 people attended the October 2015 event that showcased 17 sustainable school stalls and about 50 stalls from other sustainability areas. More than $15,000 was raised for school programs.

Art teacher Pea Saunders, who coordinates the fair, said its original aim was to raise money to support the school’s environment-and-wetlands focus and to showcase what it does in being sustainable.

“It has now become integral to the children’s

education and something which they can follow through all their lives,” she said.

“They pick up on it at school and then talk to their parents and things start happening at home.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock congratulated the winners and nominees.

“Our award winners are a wonderful example of the warmth, talent and creativity within our community,” he said.

“These awards recognise people and events that make a real difference to the lives of our fellow community members and the general spirit of the peninsula.

“On behalf of my fellow councillors and the community I extend a sincere thank you for the work you do within the communities of the Mornington Peninsula to make it such a special place for everyone.”

No fire shelter for Arthurs Seat

The Pillars, and the perils of popularity

Over the top: Thrill seekers make a splash for their mates at The Pillars, Mt Martha. Pictures: Facebook (jumpers) and Keith Platt (main)

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ON hot days, police and Mornington Peninsula Shire rangers are busy booking motorists parked in No Standing areas or banked up opposite double lines near Mt Martha’s now famous swim spot, The Pillars.

Their owners don’t seem to care: they are too busy jumping from the rocky outcrops or taking selfies with their friends on the cliffs or in the water.

Hundreds are flocking flock to the go to summer bathing spot on the Esplanade between Marguerita Av and

Deakin Drive every hot summer’s day.

The spot even has its own Facebook page.

Despite warnings from medical experts, the cliffs are a magnet for daredevils and onlookers who carry towels, umbrellas, eskies – and even barbecues – down the rugged cliffs. It’s party time in scenic surroundings.

Mornington police sergeant Kylie Vaughan said officers book 15-20 cars “every nice day”, and would work with shire officers to erect signs warning drivers of the parking risks.

“The Pillars is promoted all over social media and they come from everywhere because it’s fun,” she said.

But it can be dangerous: A Hastings

teenager died after jumping from the rocks a few years ago and a woman, 25, cut her head and received neck injuries after hitting into rocks while jumping, Tuesday 19 January. She was taken to Frankston Hospital before being transferred to The Alfred.

Two jet skis collided Sunday afternoon 17 January, knocking a man in his 30s unconscious. He sustained a neck injury and was taken to Frankston hospital.

Although some residents complain about blocked streets, litter and even urinating in nearby streets, at least one real estate agent has been using the phrase “close to The Pillars” as a carrot for potential buyers.

The shire’s environment protection manager David Dobroszczyk said the shire was coordinating with police to address illegal parking and the blocking of driveways near The Pillars.

“The shire and VicPol have issued a number of infringements for illegal parking, and the frequency of patrols in the area has been increased,” he said.

“The shire is reviewing traffic management and parking restrictions in the surrounding area.”

Pedestrian safety along The Esplanade was being improved by allowing extra space on the shoulder “for people to walk more safely”.

Continued from Page 1 A difficulty raised is that half of the 34 gondola cars fixed to the endless cable would be heading to the summit, possibly away from a fire, while the others would be heading down the slope.

Ms Laird said residents were well aware of the dangers of the area in which they live and the need to have a fire plan.

But the gondola ride would mean extra people on the summit, including passengers who might leave the immediate area and go walking or have a picnic in the state park.

In an emergency many could seek access to the summit station as the only safe place, or, if their vehicles were parked at the summit, could try to leave in blinding smoke down dangerous roads.

These people would make it more difficult for locals to implement their fire plans, since they would not necessarily be familiar with the area.

A further problem was that the CFA and other emergency services had said they could not guarantee they could reach the summit in a fire, partly because of the speed at which a fire could reach the summit.

Fires have been timed at taking seven minutes to traverse the steep slope.

Three roads lead to and from the summit, all of them narrow and tree-lined.

The road on the Port Phillip side of the hill would almost certainly be unusable because of its steepness and sharp corners.

Police change tack with caravan probe POLICE are investigating the possibility that two men who allegedly dumped a caravan at Arthur’s Seat did not set it alight.

Sergeant John Coburn, of Somerville police complex, said “another party” may have torched the single-axle van after it was left in Arthur’s Seat Rd, 10.40pm, Tuesday 19 January.

This was the day after disastrous fires at Crib Point destroyed a house and outbuildings, burnt out 83 hectares of bushland and forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents.

A 46-year-old, of Seaford, and 25-year-old, of Frankston, were expected to be charged on summons with dumping the van and arson after flames spread to nearby bushland. However, the men deny setting it alight and Detective Coburn conceded there is “an element of doubt; someone else may have lit it”.

Dumping charges may still apply.

Rosebud CFA crews managed to limit the extent of the fire to about an acre of bushland – their job being made easier by damp conditions and lack of wind. Arthur’s Seat Rd was blocked off as a precaution against falling braches until mid-morning the following day.

Detective Coburn said police were investigating differences between the dumping and the time of the fire. He said he was keen to talk to the driver of a BMW who warned road users about the fire at 11pm.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000,

Detective Coburn, 5978 1300 or Rosebud police, 5986 0444.

Knockout blow A RYE man was assaulted as he walked home along Government Rd, Rye, 11.35pm, Tuesday.

The 65-year-old had been celebrating Australia Day at his daughter’s house and at Rye RSL. He told police a white coloured sedan, possibly a Camry, slowed as it passed him and an occupant threw an egg at him. Words were exchanged and the car slowed, did a U-turn, and pulled up beside him. The occupants got out and knocked the man unconscious.

A passer-by found the man on the nature strip and called an ambulance.

He was treated at Frankston hospital for cuts to the head and released Wednesday.

Leg found at base of Cape Schanck cliff A MAN’S right leg was found in the surf near Cape Schanck boardwalk, Tuesday.

DNA tests on Wednesday were seeking to confirm the identity of the leg’s owner, although police suspect he is a missing Albert Park man, 39, whose white Toyota Land Cruiser was found in the car park near the lighthouse.

Friends and family became concerned when the man failed to turn up to an arranged meeting at Sorrento, 4.30pm, Tuesday. He was believed to be suffering from a medical condition.

Girl power: An all-female patrol will ensure safety in the water at Gunnamatta on 14 February. They include Fran Brown, Dani Silvester, Emma Brown, Lucy Douglas and Jill Douglas, with the assistance of regional officer Toby Dobell.

Police, SES, Dog Squad and Air Wing were searching the rugged coastline on Australia Day. Sergeant Phil Marshall, of Rosebud police, said the man may have jumped from the cliff, with the impact of the fall onto rocks severing his leg.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Rosebud police station, 5986 0444.

Women on patrol for safe Valentine’s Day AN all-female patrol on Valentine’s Day, Sunday 14 February will – for the first time – protect swimmers at Gunnamatta surf beach.

The “Pink Patrol” – part of the celebrations for the lifesaving club’s 50th year – recognises women and their contribution to lifesaving.

Patrol captain Jill Douglas will lead the team on the day. She’s proud to be part of a “first” in the club’s history.

“I’m really looking forward to Valentine’s Day,” the chief instructor said. “We have some very experienced and dedicated girls who can’t wait to team up and show a bit of ‘girl power’.

“It is a day of love and we are all out here

doing what we love: the beach, the surf and keeping them safe.

“Gunn [Gunnamatta] has a proud history in surf lifesaving: our club has won the state patrol efficiency award more than any other club, and we perform about a third of Victoria’s rescues each year.

“All beaches and waterways have their dangers. Gunn has its own but we make sure we set patrols up in the safest possible area and we monitor it carefully.

“It’s an honour to lead this patrol in our 50th birthday year.”

Gunnamatta SLSC Club captain Patrick Murphy said the capability of the Pink Patrol were impressive. “Collectively its members hold all of SLSA’s awards and

qualifications as well as being powerful surf swimmers and rescue board paddlers,” he said.

Women and girls were permitted to join Surf Life Saving Australia as active members in 1980. Gunnamatta had two female lifesavers from the very first days and this quickly grew over the following summers.

Now, 40 of Gunnamatta's 100 active members are female, ranging in age from 13 to over 50. They hold positions such as chief instructor, patrol captain and rescue boat drivers – some of the most senior roles in the club.

Mr Murphy said the female patrol’s message was: “If we can see you, we can save you.”

Council backflip over tip future David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A COUNCIL decision to retain Rye tip has been overturned after a searching and sometimes spiteful debate at the year’s first public meeting of Mornington Peninsula councillors.

At the height of the disturbance shire governance manager Joe Spiteri advised councillors they should stop their unruly behaviour and return to order – the first such intervention by a governance officer veteran council attendees could recall.

The power struggle over shire waste was sparked last September when councillors voted to close the tip and move shire household waste off the

peninsula. Then in December they reversed that vote, with opponents of the original decision having the numbers to do so due to a councillor’s illness.

Cr Hugh Fraser’s moved to rescind this decision at the 27 January meeting was passed on mayor Graham Pittock’s casting vote after a long and acrimonious debate about the cost versus benefit of the Rye closure.

Shire officers including chief executive officer Carl Cowie were questioned closely and at length about their role in the Rye tip deliberations.

Councillors opposed to closing the tip argued that each household would have to pay an additional $50-60 a year to move waste off the shire and would simply be transferring the shire’s greenhouse gas problem to another

council district.

Proponents of the closure said the cost to each household would be somewhere closer to $30 and that the environmental and commercial benefits would far outweigh this.

The tip is close to the Tootgarook wetlands and houses. Rubbish blows out of it into the wetlands and on to the nearby properties. Odour from methane, a greenhouse gas, is also a continuing problem.

One major result of the vote reversal is that the shire’s policy of carbon neutrality, established in late 2014, is now back on track. Rye tip emits nearly half of the shire’s carbon gases. Its retention would have severely crippled chances of achieving the neutrality goal.

Cr Fraser told the chamber that a

shire advertisement seeking interest from companies to remove shire waste was worded in such a way that it misled the market. This had, he said, resulted in uninformed industry responses.

He also revealed correspondence to him from Cr David Gibb – who has long argued that shire waste should be kept in the shire – that the motion to retain the Rye tip “was drafted by council officers” and “supported by all officers … as the most appropriate option”.

These officers included Mr Cowie and the shire chief operating officer, Alison Leighton. Both acknowledged at the meeting this correctly stated their stance.

Cr Fraser said he had since been told that officers drafted the recommenda-

tion at Cr Gibb’s request and Cr Gibb had been told it was “not an officer recommendation”, he said.

This is significant in light of the wording of the advertisement, which stated simply that the shire was “strongly considering” closure.

The clear councillor decision was to close Rye tip in mid-2017, leading to Cr Fraser’s charge that the wording of the advertisement did not have “authority from council” – that is, it was at variance with the decision councillors had made.

Shire officers, led by the CEO, are required under the Local Government Act to ensure that the decisions of councillors “are implemented without undue delay”.

LETTERS Out of touch Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has 192 kilometres of coastal land to manage, hundreds of square kilometres of pavement to maintain and a serious lack of community infrastructure in some areas. This is where the state government and, I’d reckon, most ratepayers would want our diminishing pool of cash to be spent.

Council’s sphere of influence is primarily local and by rights that money should stay here in our community, providing jobs and supressing rate rises.

But your councillors, in their collective wisdom and on the casting vote of the mayor Cr Graham Pittock, have decided to spend almost $25 million (about the cost of an aquatic centre) closing the Rye landfill, an unpleasant but highly productive asset that’s been operating since the 1960s.

Apparently it’s even more important than carbon neutrality. Shipping waste off the peninsula produces a significant net increase in emissions that’ll make it even harder to achieve atmospheric temperature stabilisation globally.

Luckily for us, the emissions will be on some other council’s books.

In his [former Treasurer] Joe Hockey moment last meeting, self-appointed governance advisor Cr Hugh Fraser claimed that dumping our waste in some other neighbourhood would cost just “$27 per household per annum – the cost of a pack of cigarettes”.

So the next time you find yourself slammed with council charges, just do a Hugh and forgo some of that discretionary spending. It’ll be easy if you come from the top end of town.

Vote for change in October, because some councillors have clearly lost touch. Rates will be siphoned away from the basics for unnecessary projects that benefit a favoured few. Only you, the ratepayers, can stand in their way.

Cr Andrew Dixon, Briars Ward

Tip not neutral threat I am writing in response to the eye-catching, but misleading, article “Waste threat to carbon neutrality” (The News 19/1/16). The issue of whether the Rye tip remains open or closed is not a threat to achieving Mornington Peninsula Shire’s goal of carbon neutrality. More worrying is that closing the tip, while resulting in lower reportable carbon emissions for council, would lead to higher actual emissions overall, which doesn’t sound like climate leadership to me.

The council’s carbon neutral policy outlines how it will ensure that its net emissions are zero annually (an admirable goal). The policy doesn’t mandate particular actions to achieve this goal, just that council will pursue “best value, best practice actions” (like switching street lighting to LED, improving energy efficiency and installing solar arrays as outlined in council’s emissions management business case). Whatever action(s) council takes to reduce its emissions, it will inevitably be left with emissions that cannot be avoided, and so, in order to meet the goal of net zero emissions, these unavoidable emissions must be offset.

Closing the Rye tip is simply one action that the council could take in order to reduce its carbon emissions. However, the issue of the Rye tip is not a threat to carbon neutrality because any unavoidable emissions will be offset (including

legacy emissions from the tip).

The real issue here is not that the tip is a threat to carbon neutrality, but that the business case for closing the tip doesn’t measure up. It would cost more money, and generate higher real carbon emissions (the emissions science cares about, not what council reports on), to do so.

I encourage everyone, including councillors, to read the supporting documentation, such as council’s own emissions management business case, before final decisions are made on this issue.

Erin Simpson, Rye

Promises off target Once upon a time in Paris our leaders made promises for emission cuts. Are they core or non-core promises?

How can we afford an unlimited budget for war, defence, intelligence, security and anti-terrorism? Are they equal to protecting us against threat as big as global warming? What’s the plan?

The main promise was to reduce our emissions to 28 per cent by 2030. Isn’t it sad to just copycat the United States? Except that its end date is 2025 and ours is 2030.

Total emissions and population in the US are 10 times bigger than ours and a sensible apples-for-apples comparison can only be done per capita. Emissions are coal, oil and gas burnt inside the country. Australia has a big score already, nearly 30tonnes per capita a year while the US is aspiring to 20. So we’re 50 per cent worse already.

This totally ignores our ambition to be world’s biggest exporter of coal and LNG gas. We get wealth but cop no CO2 liability at all from these exports.

The explanation from Environment Minister and MP for Flinders Greg Hunt is that for a 50 per cent advantage Australia doesn’t need any cuts at all. The reason claimed is an expected population growth of 50 per cent means emission tonnes divided by more people delivers the 50 per cent magic number. Simple arithmetic means this is 100/150 = 67 per cent actual, or 33 per cent reduction? Don’t you need 200 per cent population growth for 100/200 = 50 per cent reduction?

I sympathise with Mr Hunt, who’s overloaded with ministerial responsibilities.

With such voracious human appetite for resources of all kinds expecting population growth to deliver emissions reduction is more far-fetched than any fairy story. But will we live happily ever after?

Bernie McComb, Cowes

Geography lesson On 23 November 2015, Mornington Peninsula Council, at the request of a minority of residents, approved spending nearly $16,000 to rename Rosebud West to Capel Sound. If this proposal is adopted, based on the yes/no responses from residents, the proposal will then have to be approved by the Office of Geographic Names.

The main argument is that Rosebud West is linked geographically to Capel Sound. This is a complete nonsense.

The 1957-1963 Port Phillip survey by Melbourne University is the only known reliable geological survey of Port Phillip. Capel Sound is described as follows: “On the Nepean Peninsula, irregular bars commence in Dromana Bay, and become very complex further south near Rose-

bud where a system of multiple bars extends in a continuous zone to near Sorrento. In this zone near Rye and Blairgowrie, seven to eight bars are parallel to each other and sub-parallel to the beach. They occur in water seven feet to 15 feet deep on a sandy shoal extending 2500 feet offshore until the outer edge drops steeply to 40 feet in Capel Sound.”

It is fatuous to geographically link the deep water anchorage of Capel Sound which occurs one kilometre offshore from Rye and Blairgowrie, to Rosebud West.

On this basis, the proposal should fail.

If Rosebud West has to be renamed on the basis of a geographic feature, a more appropriate geographically based name would be to amalgamate with the existing suburb of Tootgarook; the Tootgarook Swamp is actually in Rosebud West.

Rosebud residents need to ask one question: Is renaming Rosebud West in their interests?

The shire’s letter of 7/12/2015 asks residents to return their survey form by 5/2/2016.

Vote “no” to change the name of Rosebud West.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Track already beaten “Australia on track”, really (Letters 26/1/16).

Please [Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt] don’t insult our intelligence. No selfrespecting, credible scientist or economist will support your claim. Once before we were fed faux science by the then Minister for Environment (Malcolm Turnbull) on his rain-making ability to the tune of 10 million. You, Sir, go one better, you’re billing us billions. So, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Also, remember, you were at the table when cuts to hospital funding, life-saving early diagnostic services, Gonski (most important education reform), canned 21st century infrastructure fibre to the home NBN (future generations will regret this), cuts to aged pension (claiming heaviest burden on the budget (how offensive to the generation that gifted us our current standard of living), increased cost of prescriptions, planning to cut penalty rates claiming it is so yesterday (it is not when you need to put food on the table or pay the rent), betraying future generations by not taking real action on climate change while shovelling billions to big polluters (may future generations condemn us if we fall for it).

See, it is the big picture and how we and future generations are being short changed.

So, fellow electors of Flinders, next time you sit in the overcrowded accident and emergency department, GP practice, cannot get a hospital bed, unable to afford life-saving early intervention diagnostic services, your children’s education funding cut, aged pension does not go far, thank the MP for Flinders [Greg Hunt].

May future generations judge us harshly for they will be worse off in every way, healthcare, education, digital technology, living aged pension and living planet than the one we inherited.

Shame on us.

Evelyn Taylor, Tootgarook

Yeah for Yale To the good residents of Mornington Peninsula.

Your local federal Liberal Party member [for Flinders] and Minister for the Environment [Greg Hunt] has stated that the Yale University Environmental Performance Index that is

published every two years is "the most credible scientifically based" analysis in the world.

The latest index published by Yale now rates Australia at 150th in world rankings on carbon emissions.

We are also rated as poor performing in biodiversity, agriculture and forestry.

I am looking forward to Mr Hunts explanation. Not. Terry O'Shea, Halls Head, WA

Follow dog rules I have reached a conclusion that some dog owners are either dyslexic, illiterate or just plain ignorant when it comes to signs pertaining to them and their dogs.

Just a few days ago, there was an instance where a "no dogs allowed" sign was ignored by a young woman and consequently she and her dog had to be rescued from halfway down a cliff face by people from the emergency services (“Dog gone! Emergency crews called to save would-be rescuer stuck on cliff”, The News 26/1/16).

The dog, unable to read, couldn't tell his mistress that they should not have been there.

Perhaps the young lady might like to donate some money to these volunteers for risking their lives on what was an unnecessary rescue.

But wait, there's more, how many times have you and your family been enjoying the beach when a dog not on a leash has come running through your area madly chasing a seagull or shaking water on you after its little dip? How many dog owners have had their dog which is correctly on a leash, savaged by some out of control dog and the owner tends to vanish from sight until the ruckus dies down.

The laws are there to be obeyed by all, not just the responsible owners.

Makes you wonder just who is the dumb one doesn't it!

John Cain, McCrae

Path not favoured Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is proceeding with a project to install a footpath on Coppin Rd, Sorrento at a cost to property owners in excess of $4000 each. This is despite an overwhelming majority of owners not wanting the project to proceed.

Council has acknowledged that they it only two requests for the footpath, one from a person who is now deceased.

Property owners in other streets such as Bowen and St Pauls roads no doubt will be next on council's hit list.

Councillors Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser purportedly represent us on council, but they have not even had the decency to consult with us. The November council elections cannot come too soon.

Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Down wrong path Mornington Peninsula Shire entrusted a community group to conduct surveys on the proposed Somers pathways scheme [the results of which I believe] were misleadingly favourable to wide concrete paths and against the non-concrete alternative of crushed granite.

Why doesn't the council itself hold a survey of Somers ratepayers before making the decision on the $1.5 million pathways scheme?

Hopes for peace lost to landfill CAN it be the coming council election? A series of malignant New Year resolutions? Whatever it was, hopes were dashed early at last Wednesday’s first Mornington Peninsula Shire meeting of the year, a hope that good behaviour, forbearance or courtesy would be prominent in 2016.

The chamber was brought to order by the calm, firm and admirable governance manager Joe Spiteri, who should never need to perform such a role for a meeting of presumed grownups. Perhaps it is not within his remit, but it needs doing.

So normal has discourtesy to the chair and contempt for the public become, first in 2015, Bev Colomb’s mayoral year and now at the start of Graham Pittock’s, that perhaps Mr Spiteri will have to perform the role of chief whip – with a stockwhip.

Lest anyone thinks (as apparently some do, and are puerile and foolhardy enough to bruit the defamation) that my remarks in this column are a fantasy, a farrago of fake facts, I direct them to the recordings of shire meetings.

There they will hear for themselves the official audio of shire meetings, including the snide remarks, the shouting, the odd precipitate, surly exit from a meeting with shouted insults as a departing accompaniment to chair-slamming.

I write no fantasy. I would not stoop to it. I have done this work professionally for half a century, for Melbourne’s leading quality newspapers, first The Herald then The Age. My lodestar is a Latin motto discovered early in my career: “Magna est veritas et praevalet” – “Great is truth and mighty above all things.” It’s from Apocrypha: 1 Esdras Chapter 4. Nail that to your mast and bind yourself to it, people: it will stand you in good stead.

There endeth the diversion, and the use of what is known in my trade as “the perpendicular pronoun”, or, more technically, the first-person singular. Often described as the indulgence of the ego.

Now, what were we talking about? Yes – the meeting. The usual pro forma start, with a prayer so antique that it should be printed in Olde English typeface, questions, and CEO Carl Cowie’s report to the community on the shire’s satisfactory financial progress.

Then we got to the Skylift item – approval of its bushfire/emergency plan, covered elsewhere in these pages. It passed: councillors’ hands are tied on “secondary consent” items such as this, a product of VCAT. They must pass them. Why such consent exists must mystify many; additionally, it irks developers, and councillors.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal is a strange beast with an almost total freedom from real curbs on its power, as well as strange powers it imposes on communities.

Example: in its “decision” (VCAT does not judge) on the Skylift, it remarked on bushfire risk that it was “comforted” by passenger safety assurances from a proponent of the project, and left the entire bushfire emergency plan in the hands of councillors.

But not the power, staff have been telling councillors for months, to amend, in any substantial way, the plan presented to council.

Where is the logic in that? It leaves the entire plan, on which lives depend, in the hands of the developer and its experts.

The other temperature-raising item on the agenda involved reversing a silly December decision on closing the Rye tip, also enlarged on elsewhere in these pages.

Cr David Gibb made what he later strenuously denied was a snide remark aimed at Cr Hugh Fraser. Cr Fraser immediately called for it to be withdrawn. Cr Gibb hotly argued that he had

named no councillor, and continued to deny it was a snide remark. Cr Pittock reminded Cr Gibb the meeting was being recorded in case anyone wanted to re-listen. We are not yet at the electronic point of instant replay, like a Test wicket falling, but it stilled that debate.

Rye tip has reeked for years as an issue in the shire. When the peninsula had its own cocooned waste scheme, effectively run by Cr Gibb, the slogan was keep shire waste in the shire. Then the old Pioneer quarry at Arthurs Seat loomed as a replacement dumping site.

The Rye tip was nearly full, came the message. It will last only until 2019. We need to look for another tip site. And the move began to fill the spectacular quarry with rubbish, stopped a few years ago by the EPA refusal to approve it.

Suddenly, a conjunction of events: climate change, the absorption of the peninsula into the Melbourne metro waste group and loss of the quarry as a tip site. And an election in 2012 that changed the council numbers away from the Gibb group.

Cr Gibb had a bad night. The tip was closed, he was successfully challenged over meeting rules, his involvement in the Rye tip moves came to light. His colleague Cr Antonella Celi rose, in a move that caused laughter in the gallery, to lecture councillors on their standard of behaviour and urge an improvement.

And, affecting him only in that Cr Andrew Dixon generally supports the Gibb-Celi-ShawGarnock group, the Briars ward representative stood up at 11.09 (by my generally accurate watch) and left the chamber in a huff with a remark not quite intelligible to the gallery.

CW is not sure precisely what sparked his exit, his second premature evacuation in a few months. But it was in keeping with the general tone of the meeting, which ran its full measure until 11.30. A long night’s journey into depression. Is this a template for the whole year?

Home first: Jackson Coote, right, was the fastest individual swimmer home in the Bloody Big Swim, in 2.50.49, followed by David Fraser, 2.56.11.

The first individual female across the line was Lisandra De Carvalho, left, in 3.03.49.

Fun in the sun at the MMAD swim: Hope Backx, Maisen Degg, Lauren McAuley, Jessica Pinkett and Gemima Linnsen.

In the swim: Jackson leads the field home Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE Frankston to Mornington Bloody Big Swim – all 11.2 kilometres of it – was a real endurance test for Cape Schanck’s Jackson Coote, but one that he passed with flying colours.

The 26-year-old electrician swam the choppy course from Frankston Life Saving Club to Mornington Life Savings Club at Mills beach in two hours, 50 minutes and 49 seconds on Saturday last week. He was in the 1829 age category.

That’s a pace of 15:15 minutes a kilometre for the swimmer who trains at the indoor Peninsula Swimming and Aquatic Centre, Rosebud.

“I have swum a few of the normal 1.2 kilometre races but this popped up and I thought I would give it a go,” he said Thursday.

E’S IN D ES!!

T N LE KEN AG i l s ) VA EE PACK d e t a W L fo r IA e b ECe e w P S (s

“My tactics were to start slow and conserve my energy and work my way into the race.

“By half way I was about sixth or seventh and then I built my pace up a bit and went into the lead.

“It was tough, though. The last two kilometres felt like three or four.”

The win earned him $500 and a new pair of swim goggles.

The first duo across were 17-yearolds Brianna Bond and Ayden Coates in the best time of the race: 2.45.43.

Best team was We are Family’s Carl and Katrina Luxton and Myles and Spencer Spielvogel, in 3.18.36.

The Bloody Big Swim is an annual event conducted by Mornington Life Saving Club with the aim “to promote interest in open water swimming for fun and fitness”. It started in 2004.

Club secretary Melinda Nielsen said the choppy conditions affected com-

petitors’ times. “It was quite rough,” she said. “But it’s a very popular swim. What we are noticing now is that there are more solo swimmers, rather than teams.”

The awards were presented by Dunkley MP and club member Bruce Billson.

Competitors can choose to swim in pairs or in teams of four, making it open to swimmers of all abilities to swim with their friends or workmates.

Swimmers in teams take it in turns and jump from a boat at set times to give their team mates a breather.

Open water swims are now attracting large numbers of participants, most notably the famed Pier to Pub, at Lorne, which holds the world record for the largest number of competitors.

But Jackson Coote has his eyes on another – even longer event – the Rottnest Island Channel Swim, Perth,

stringybark cinema

over 20 kilometres. He’s missed the cut off this year but has the race firmly fixed on his horizon.

All swim challenges ENTHUSIASTIC swimmers of all ages enjoyed competing in the Grand Swim Challenge at Mornington’s Mills Beach on Saturday week.

The seventh swim in the Great Victorian Swim Series was run by Mornington Peninsula Triathlon Club and Mornington Life Saving Club.

More than 300 competitors took part, with first across the line in the 1.2 kilometre race being Dean Wilson, 12 minutes 19 seconds, in the 12-17 age group. Second was Robbe Dilissen, 12.26, also in the juniors, and third was Matt Gilling, 12.31, in the 18-29 age group.

The new 1.2 kilometre course

proved to be a great success, Mornington Life Saving Club’s Keiran McAuley said.

“The Nippers also had a swim over 300 metres and even a pod of dolphins joined in to end a wonderful day.”

Then, on Australia Day, many Mornington Life Saving Club members took part in the MMAD – Mt Martha Australia Day – swim at Mt Martha beach.

This is the eighth swim in the Great Victorian Swim Series.

Events include 5km, 1.2km and 400m novice and nippers. Winner of the 1.2 kilometre event was Lachlan Schwarz in 13.59.8 in the Under 17s category, winner of the 5 kilometre race was Matt Gilling in 1.02.41, winner of the novice was Mia Bolitho in 5.01.02 and winner of the nippers was Mackenzie Hooper, 2.29.6.

3 Mills Beach Close, MORNINGTON This Saturday at 2.30pm Ray White, 5/117-133 Main Street, Mornington, 5977 1877 Peter Cincotta 0411 888 770

OVERLOOKING Mornington Harbour, and just a few minutes walk to cosmopolitan Main Street, this exquisite architect-designed home with glorious bay views from every room is positioned to capture the very best of a seaside lifestyle. As sleek as any yacht that berths in the harbour below, the home has fine lines and gracious curves, with a series of dazzling full-length sliding glass doors and high ceilings filling the home with natural light. From the ground floor there is a formal lounge to the left, and opposite, is a guest bedroom with ensuite. The wide hallway continues past two bedrooms, that share the downstairs bathroom

and have a view of the gas-heated pool and spa, before ending at a fantastic rumpus room, and the laundry where there is internal access from the double garage. A lift-chair along the staircase, and even an elevator can take you up to the first floor where the breathtaking bay comes into full view. A stunning galley-style kitchen features wide Caesarstone benchtops for all the prep space any chef of the family will need, and a host of cupboards - and a huge walk-in pantry, will keep everything in their place. Quality appliances include gas hotplates, a dishwasher and Miele stainless-steel wall oven. The adjoining lounge and dining

area with high curved ceiling is a delightfully refreshing space that can be further accentuated, particularly during these warmer months, by taking the party out to the expansive balcony, where outdoor dining effortlessly casts your gaze across the water. A lavish master bedroom has a superb walk-through robe to an equally impressive ensuite boasting twin vanity and a frameless glass shower, and there is a powder room for guests on this top floor.

The landscaped 604 square metre block has neat paths weaving through low-maintenance gardens that border the wonderful in-ground pool area.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

Q REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

SPECIALISED TREATMENT TECHNIQUES ST JOHN of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital offers additional specialist services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all under the one roof. Our comprehensive rehabilitation programs offer a wide range of services including Rocktape and Real time Ultrasound.

Rocktape: Rocktape is a brand of kinesiology tape that is used by physiotherapists to treat injuries and pain. Unlike traditional tape that binds and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stretch, Rocktape is engineered to mimic the human skin. It can be applied in a variety of ways to achieve the following therapeutic effects.

When Rocktape is applied with

little or no stretch on the tape but lots of stretch on the tissue it causes the skin to form convulsions and wrinkle. This creates a biomechanical lifting mechanism that decompresses the tissue just under the skin which creates a more normal Ă&#x20AC;XLG G\QDPLF LQ WKH WDSHG DUHD 6ZHOOLQJ LV EHWWHU DEOH WR Ă&#x20AC;RZ RXW of the area, taking with it toxins ZKLFK UHVXOW IURP LQĂ&#x20AC;DPPDWLRQ DQG injury. Blood has less resistance to enter the area bringing with it more oxygen and nutrients vital for healing and recovery and pain is reduced through reducing the compression on the nerve endings lying between the muscle and skin. This property is being used in the management of acute soft tissue injuries, joint replacements and fractures.

Bruised Leg

When Rocktape is applied with more stretch it can be used to support areas where tissue has been strained, torn, weakened or lengthened. By adding more elastic recoil to the taped area, functional stability and tissue â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;snapbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are enhanced. Helping to unload painful tissue in conditions like tennis elbow, achilles tendonoses and plantarfascitis.

Real time Ultrasound: Real time ultra sound (RTUS) provides a moving image of our deep muscles.

The equipment used in RTUS is non-invasive and pain free. A small ultra sound head & water soluble gel are used over the muscle being examined, the same technique that

is used in pregnancy for baby scans.

Ultra sound uses high frequency waves & their echoes to produce an image.

Most commonly we look at deep DEGRPLQDO PXVFOH WKH GHHS ÂżEUHV LQ WKH OXPEDU VSLQH DQG WKH SHOYLF Ă&#x20AC;RRU muscles. These muscles normally work in unison with the diaphragm & other spinal stabilising muscles to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;coreâ&#x20AC;? stability. Back pain, poor posture, surgery or pregnancy can result in a loss of adequate control of these muscles.

giving the patient an immediate & visual biofeedback.

REFERRALS: A specialist or GP referral is required Inpatient and Outpatient Referrals can be sent to: St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital 255-265 Cranbourne Road, Frankston 3199 Fax: (03) 9788 3304

RTUS can be used as a training tool to help recruit & provide the correct action of these muscles. Being able to see the muscles as they work leads to a better understanding of their function & how to activate them â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

“We teach all age groups and would like to encourage little ones from three years of age to come along and enjoy dance play with lots of imaginative use of props. It is great to teach them creativity and socialising with other children, and a good introduction to movement,” said Dwan.

Dwan is trained in classical ballet and works with other dance teachers.

“I specialise in the classical and contemporary but do teach some jazz and tap as well, and have another girl teaching hip hop and contemporary,” said Dwan. “Our school hosts the perfect studio and teachers to produce confident dancers of all ages. We encourage the older and more experienced students to become student teachers by assisting with the younger students. This is fantastic for furthering their learning in dance.”

pioneer. On the evening, 21st January Mr James Crosskell, one of the last of the early pioneers, passed away aged 84 years. He was born on Rhode Island, USA, and came to Australia after hearing of the gold rush. After working for some years for Wren Bros, he bought their business, and took in with him his brother-in-law (the late Mr H. R Prosser) and the late Mr T. Ritchie; later on Mr J. D. Box and the late Mr P. Renouf joined the firm. The Company was known as the Frankston Fish Co. (Crosskell, Ritchie and Co.) Mr Crosskell still visited the different fishing places, and ran the fish up to Melbourne, while his partners attended to the sale. Their place of business was in the old market which stood on the site of the present Flinders Street station. As trade grew the boat had to be relinquished; and fish carts were used. Most of the old residents of Frankston will remember the fish carts and their three horses, and later, the wagons that ran through from Hastings to Melbourne in time for the 5 a.m. market. These vehicles were driven by the partners themselves, who at that period led a very strenuous life. The members took a keen interest in Frankston itself. They started the first bakery and butchery in the township; they were among the original shareholders of the “Mornington Standard” Newspaper Co., and they held large interests in a brick works that flourished near the landslip in the boom time. After the boom the firm was dissolved, and

Mr Crosskell returned to the sea, and even visited Western Australia. He remained at this for some years, but his health failed, and he retired, living quietly until his death. He was twice married, and left issue by both marriages.

He joined the Frankston I.O.R. in 1871, and at the time of his death was the oldest Rechabite on the Mornington Peninsula. For many years the meetings of the local Tent were held in his house, and at different periods he held most of the offices in the Order. He joined the Frankston Methodist Church in 1869, and continued a member till his death. He was also the oldest trustee of the church. Although Mr Crosskell made no boast of his religious beliefs, he lived a life consistent with his profession.

He was a good neighbor, generous, I helpful and kind. No one ever appealed to him in vain. He was a man of great determination, and when he made up his mind no power on earth could make him change it.

His last hours were quiet and peaceful, and he gradually slipped his earthly cable and trimmed his sails to the breezes of the unseen world. He was almost the last- if not the last -of the sturdy pioneers, and Frankston is the poorer through his death. He left behind him an unsullied name, and his descendents can ever regard with pride and affection the memory of their sturdy and upright ancestor. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 February, 1916

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

True tales of a ‘tin eater’

By Stuart McCullough SECRETLY, I am ashamed. I watch others eat their meals with knives and forks, and feel something of a pang, wishing that I, too, could accept the conventional approach to eating a meal. But it’s too late for me. Years of training mean that I must take the road less travelled and consume my meals, not at the table with a fistful of cutlery, but in the pantry and directly from the jar. For I choose to consume my ingredients not in combination but one at a time. For I am a tin eater, plain and simple.

The life of a tin eater is one filled with subterfuge and stealth. Having two brothers and two sisters meant there was very little I could do that escaped detection. For some reason, siblings feel oddly compelled to announce everything you do at a volume somewhere just below “air raid siren” and a pitch slightly beneath dog whistle. You could be forgiven for thinking in such a harsh environment that I’d be unable to get away with anything, but that would be to underestimate the inexhaustible nature of human ingenuity.

We’d be sitting together in the lounge room, all five us, watching a movie. Without so much as a word, I’d attempt to slip out of my chair. I say “attempt” as the seat in question was not the conventional four-legged variety but a beanbag. It’s a scientific fact that getting out of a beanbag is akin to attempting to break a bear hug executed by an actual bear. You can no more slip out of a beanbag

than you can throw a tennis ball and land it on the moon. Getting out of the upholstered, velour quicksand required you to roll over several times to the floor before pushing yourself to your feet.

At first, my brothers and sisters would say nothing. I would then make my way to the kitchen and begin a process I like to think of as “visual grazing”. This involved a full reconnaissance of the pantry.

For many families, the pantry is an expansive area that permits you to observe all the food your family has to offer. Ours, however, was something of an afterthought, squeezed into a space that was originally intended for a broom cupboard. The first challenge, however, was to open the door without alerting my siblings.

I am sure that we possessed oil.

Given that we had a shed that preserved everything including a used

plaster cast from when I broke my leg, there was bound to be a can of WD40 somewhere. And yet, for some reason, the hinges of our pantry were forever squeaky.

To open it was to unleash a sound that resembled a choir of mice after someone had poured a bucket of cold water on them. Perhaps that was exactly the point. No matter where our parents were, they could instantly tell when the pantry was being violated.

My father could be off in the back paddock and using a chainsaw, but would cease as the sound of a mouselike chorale drifted across the valley.

If it was impossible to put anything past someone in the back paddock, there was no hope of eluding those in the living room.

Using the kind of care normally associated with detonating an explosive, I would begin to prise open the pantry. No matter how careful I was, it would never fail to emit a tortured squeal. At the very first note, there would be a challenge from my brothers and sisters. The words “what are you doing?” rang out like a demand to stand and deliver. In truth, they knew full well what I was up to. The only thing more ridiculous than the question was my standard response of “nothing” when, in fact, nothing couldn’t be further from the truth.

When faced with all manner of foodstuffs, most people would be tempted to create some kind of snack or meal. I, on the other hand, thought this would simply delay the inevitable. Rather than mess around with the

black magic that is actual cooking, I preferred to jemmy the lid off various containers and eat directly from the tin. The trick was to complete stuffing my mouth before curiousity got the better of one of my brothers or sisters who, having failed to be satisfied by my earlier response of “nothing”, would decide to come to the kitchen to personally investigate.

Milo was a particular favourite.

Truth be told, I ate more of it from the tin than I ever did as a drink. Sometimes our parents would mess with the formula and purchased drinking chocolate instead. Although the drinking chocolate was exquisitely tasty, the power was much finer and meant that if you were to breathe in at the wrong time, your throat would convulse, causing you to choke and a small cloud of chocolate drinking powder to burst over your lips like an eruption from a long-dormant volcano.

Truth be told, some of the finest meals I ever ate were consumed behind the pantry door. It’s something I’ve since given up. Whether that’s because I grew out of it or because our current pantry doesn’t have a door, and is all the less thrilling as a result, I truly couldn’t say.

Whenever I go to a restaurant, I am often left to lament that the meals arrive fully prepared and guests are denied the elicit joy that comes from sampling the ingredients individually while the chef is in the back paddock. www.stuartmccullough.com

THE ELECTRIC CHURCH UNPLUGGED AND UP CLOSE

By Terri Lee Fatouros THINK your rock might be lacking gutsy grunge blues, or your passion for it withering?

Then atone, my friends, and get yourself down to soul repenting, mystical “shakin & rockin” blues rock with The Electric Church.

With eccentric mastermind Baron Franco on lead vocals/guitar as the charismatic front man of the band, flavoured by bassist, Jesse Ingram and interchanging with their tight new rhythmic drummer, Paul Fiddes, and playing in the style of “New Blues-based Alternative Rock,” you’ll be impressed with the funky, raw, and gritty rocking blues the Electric Church is churning out.

The Electric Church is a tight, hard-core threepiece outfit playing well versed, hard hitting originals laced with cool blues that have been written by Franco and smacks with convincing life experiences, as only good blues can.

Says Franco, “I’ll take you on a trip and journey to a new plain of music and thought, and bring you back with new learning and changed perspective. The lyrics speak to you with a resonating internal dialogue leaving you feeling like “I’ve been there,” “I’ve felt that,” or “I’ve done that too.”

Franco feels their powerful hooking riffs, rising crescendos, plummeting falls and sensefilling rhythms come together really well for their three-piece ensemble. “Blues being the basis of which this new universe is created, maintaining the tradition, but ‘taking it somewhere new’ to explore its parameters.”

Some of the lyrical features of Franco’s writing, like New and Old Love, The Road Travelled and The Shadow Man draws from cultural beliefs, grounding them in modern times.

Songs like Daddy’s Gotta Roll take you back in time to the possibility of a ’70s New York

scene of a struggling family dealing with a gambling addicted father.

Combined with the wah-wah of a guitar, the smooth grooving bass line and a rim-shot drum all add to this trip of a ’70s sounding song.

Says Franco, “Elements of hard funk are also part of the Electric Church’s musical offerings, while still maintaining the synergy between blues and rock.”

The Electric Church is based in Melbourne and is poised at the event horizon of their explosion into the colourful landscape of

CARMELA D’AMORE SORRENTO’S CELEBRITY CHEF

By Billy Dixon Carmela D’Amore is a local celebrity, and one of Sorrento’s best cultural and culinary imports. Born in Kilmore to Sicilian immigrants, she’s a first generation Australian who came to the Mornington Peninsula in 1974 with her sizeable family.

Not only does she lead the team at Sorrento Trattoria from the kitchen (which she shares with her son Joe), she volunteers at Sorrento Primary School and St. Joseph’s, where she assists with their annual Italian Day. As well, she runs a cooking school (Carmela’s Cucina Classes) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the kitchen and is officially launching her tome of a cook book on the 6th of December from the restaurant.

“It’s just under a kilo – it’s a beautiful, heavy book, if I do say so myself. It’s about my family’s journey as well as my own, and talks about some of the struggles we faced, how we overcame them and how I healed through Sicilian cooking.” It’s an intricate combination of biography, personal struggle and culinary studies, including 75 of her mother and nonna’s personal recipes that

PAGE 32

Southern Peninsula News 2 February 2016

she’s modified to suit contemporary tastes and standards. If there were a way to put Sorrento Trattoria on paper, this is it.

It’s worth a read if you enjoy your time in the kitchen, too – Carmela and her family literally live and breathe food. “I’ve been cooking for more than 40 years professionally as a Sicilian chef.” Her husband also happens to have the gene – his father was the first artisan baker in Clifton Hill, and he’s a French pastry chef. Ever wonder about the chefs working behind the scenes at your favourite spot? At Sorrento Trattoria, you’ve got generations of experience from across the globe.

Carmela’s ambitions include taking star pupils from her cooking classes over to Sicily for a first-hand look at her heritage and the unique Italian food culture, but it’s her family-focused frame of mind that keeps things going at the restaurant. “Family and heritage are the foundations that we build our own identity on,” she explains, noting her own hybrid heritage. Food is life at Sorrento Trattoria.

Melbourne’s live music scene.

Their blues, rock and funky sound with original compositions is refreshing and invigorating, injecting innovative groove into their tunes.

The band is gaining awesome notoriety as a hard-hitting, funky blues, no nonsense outfit.

With extensive gigging around the burbs, Mornington Peninsula, inner Melbourne and greater Geelong, the intensity of Electric Church will scorch unless adequately protected by a beer in hand.

Recently, their sizzling sounds got the

attention of the Kustoms National Hot Rod Show organisers, which is held annually at Phillip Island. The three-day event in January hosted an array of modified and customised vehicles along with exhibits, displays and great bands like The Electric Church to entertain the masses.

The Electric Church is making huge headway presenting a refreshing yet innovative twist on blues/rock, with a trace of funk in original material performed.

A band worth keeping an eye on, that’s for sure.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Intensity lifting in Provincial PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully WITH just three rounds remaining in MPCA Provincial cricket before finals, the intensity of round nine has seen some serious game changers after the first dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play.

There is still a mad scramble for a place in the top four with at least seven teams vying for third and fourth.

At this stage, despite two more rounds to follow round nine, it seems top of the table Peninsula Old Boys and second-placed Crib Point have done enough to play finals.

With seven teams staking claims for third and fourth place, every run and every wicket is critical.

It also means that there is no easy ride to get into the finals.

Only Sorrento get an easy game on the way home, playing Rye in the final round. However, they have drawn the short straw because they only get them in a one-day match, which makes life really difficult to achieve an outright win for maximum points.

Sorrento were in all sorts of trouble after they batted against Pines on Saturday, making just 116.

Other than Bobby Wilson with 38, the Sorras struggled. Craig Entwhistle was superb for the Piners with 5/41 and Pat Jackson claimed 3/27.

However, the crafty Anthony Blackwell turned the tables on the visitors and had them on 4/39 at stumps. Blackwell himself had 4/16.

It seems thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty more cricket in this one.

Mornington didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare much better than the Sorras, bowled out for 107 against Crib Point.

Glenn Barclay was at his very best yet again for the Pies with 5/40, while Matty Blake chimed in with 3/22 from his 12 overs.

The visitors are 0/11 in reply.

Somerville is in the box seat against Moorooduc.

The Eagles won the toss on Saturday and sent the visitors into bat.

Ben Williams top scored for the Ducs with 29 while Mathew Lonsdale got his opportunity in the First IX and succeeded with 21. Michael Whincup made a cameo at the end with 21, to get the Ducs to 133.

Matty Roach was superb with the pill once again for the Eagles, snaring 5/23 from 18 overs, while Jack

Kennedy claimed 2/35.

In reply, Somerville is cruising after five overs at 0/25.

Langwarrin has given Peninsula Old Boys some work to do, setting them 267 for victory.

The Kangas batted the best it has all season, thanks largely to new kid on the block, Joel Bateman, who is in scintillating form. He scored his highest First IX score on Saturday of 74, while cousin and assistant coach Jake Prosser scored 61 and the evergreen Simon McEvoy opened with 40.

Jonny Forest was the pick of the Old Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 5/85.

Baxter and Long Island have had many great battles over the journey and this round is no different.

Baxter batted first on Saturday.

Thanks largely to Chris Brittain, with a superb 122, they were able to score 217. Joe Rule also opened with 34.

Greg Lamb wound back the clock and picked up 4/31 from 14 overs.

Daniel Warwick (11) Ben Matters (duck) and Ben Brittain (duck) were all run out.

Mount Eliza will be looking for an outright win against Rye after scoring 9/249 on Saturday.

Despite the fact they have no chance of playing finals, the Mounties would no doubt like to finish higher than second last.

Justin Grant scored 88 for the Mounties on Saturday while Keith Briggs hit 73.

Rye 16-year-old Billy Swayne was the best of the bowlers with 4/25 from four overs.

Top of the table clash in balance DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE match we have all been waiting to see in District cricket, top of the ladder Red Hill versus second placed Baden Powell, is shaping-up to be a nail biter.

In what many believe is the preview to the District grand final, both teams head into the final day of the match with genuine claims that they are in the box seat.

For mine, Red Hill is the side with the runs on the board, albeit 200, and must be fancied from here.

On Saturday at Overport Rd, the Hillmen won the toss and batted first.

Simon Dart top scored with 55 and Brent Martin was solid again with 33 in the middle order. The real bonus for the Hillmen was the unbeaten 40 runs from experienced keeper Nick Esipoff, helping the visitors to 9/200 from their 80 overs.

Ryan Barnett (3/60 from 24 overs) and Michael Ballard (3/39 from 17 overs) were the best of the Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers, while Rhys Elmi helped himself to 2/56 from 18 overs.

Sixth-placed Heatherhill is locked in an enthralling battle with thirdplaced Pearcedale.

With just 12 points (one game) separating the sides on the ladder, the Hills will go into the second day of the match with their noses in front.

Pearcedale batted first on Saturday and were dismissed for 151. Chris Dew top scored with an unbeaten 64, while the returning Shane Maggs was next best with 18.

Jake Theobald continued his stellar season with 4/14 from 8.4 overs for Heatherhill.

The Hills batted the final 27 overs of the day and will resume on day two at 2/74, with teenager Tyler Neal on 37* and Theobald yet to score.

Carrum will be looking to end Delacombe Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season as they defend 9/265.

Whilst the Lions are no chance to play finals, the Parkers still have a slight sniff, just one game outside the top four.

Hayden Moulton top scored for the Lions with 56, while Josh Dent scored 35 and Jake Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri 33. A number of other batsmen got starts for the visitors also.

Dean Blight was the pick of the Parkersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/60.

Main Ridge and Seaford Tigers are in a battle for pride more than anything else. Neither side can play finals.

The Ridge made 208 on Saturday with Travis Barker top scoring with 54 and Ed Aarons hitting 32. Gareth Wyatt also scored 30.

The Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 17-year-old Max Watters was outstanding, opening the bowling for his side with Matty Meagher and snagging 5/56 from 19.2 overs.

In reply, the Tigers are 1/17.

Mt Martha has set Flinders a monster total of 321 to chase down in their match. The Sharks are currently in fourth place on the ladder with a number of teams breathing down their neck.

Mitchel Darville scored his second century this season (the first was against Boneo in round four), opening the innings with 122. Tim Moran hit 52 and Matt Pollock contributed his second highest score of the year of 45.

Tom Clements and Shane Beggs each claimed three wickets for the Sharks.

In reply, Flinders is 0/16, surviving the final five overs of the day.

Charging up: Red Hill slogged a respectable 200 in a likely preview of the District grand final. Picture: Rab Siddhi Southern Peninsula News 2 February 2016

Hot battles in Sub-District SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THERE are three tremendous battles going on in MPCA Sub-District cricket in round nine and all eyes will be on their results at 6pm this Saturday.

Sixth-placed Frankston YCW is playing host to fifth-placed Tootgarook, third-placed Rosebud is hosting fourth-placed Carrum Downs and Balnarring and Ballam Park are hoping to keep their slim finals hopes alive as they do battle.

The Knights and the Saints are currently a game and a half outside of the top four and a loss in round nine would end their season.

As it stands, Balnarring needs a miracle on day two to have any chance of winning.

Ballam Park batted first on Saturday and made 249, thanks largely to 98 from Zac Clements and 40 from Callum Savio.

The Knights were in some strife at 4/68 before Clements and Savio were joined together at the crease.

Tyler Wilton was the best of the Saints’ bowlers with 3/47.

In reply, the visitors crumbled to 4/38 at stumps. Clements has 3/15 from seven overs.

Forced feeding: The Braves turned to spin as they tried to sneak the pill past Red Hill’s batsmen.

Carrum Downs has set Rosebud 190 for victory in their clash at Olympic Park.

The Cougars won the toss and batted first with keeper Leon McConnell opening the batting and top scoring with 46. Ryan Lynch scored 32 and Nathan Phillips hit 26.

Billy Quigley was the best of the Rosebud bowlers with 4/36 from 19 overs while Pat Nagel snared 3/34 from 20 overs with the new ball.

Brian Doughty chimed in with 3/43.

The Buds are 0/2 in reply.

Frankston YCW would have been pretty happy after bowling Tootgarook out for 143 in 71 overs. Lai Leaunoa was on fire with 4/52, while Andrew Kuitson was still at it with 3/20 from 18 overs.

Scott Sterling top scored for the Frogs with 21.

However, the YCW batsmen couldn’t replicate the good work of the bowlers and at stumps, were in real strife at 3/5.

With no Jason Bedford in this game, the Stonecats appear to be up against it.

Matty Whelan has all three wickets and finished with figures of 3/4.

Dromana all-rounder Aaron Kaddatz appears to be on the verge of winning a game singlehandedly yet again, having top scored with 77 in his team’s match against Tyabb and snaring 2/13 from eight overs.

The Hoppers scored 211 in 60 overs on Saturday with Mark Whitehead scoring 34.

Tyabb is 3/36 in reply.

Hastings will be looking to shore up second place on day two of its match against Skye.

The Blues made 217 with Luke Hewitt top scoring with an unbeaten 56 and little brother Jake hitting 37. Timmy Birch also scored 34.

In reply, Skye is 1/9.
