Some 109 applicants are believed to have applied for the shire’s top job.

This was whittled to a shortlist of 30, according to reliable sources, then to a final list of 12. Dr Kennedy’s name was not among the 12.

Councillors had until 9 November to tell Dr Kennedy if he was to be reappointed. The news that he would not retain the post appeared on the shire web-

vertise his job after what is believed to have been a long and at times bitter meeting during which his support among councillors dwindled to about three or four.

Their decision on Monday last week not to reappoint him was welcomed in some sections of the community. Many said Dr Kennedy had been in the job too long and had become less effective in the latter years of his tenure of the $350,000 position.

A spokesman for the Nepean Ratepayers Association said his group welcomed the prospect of a new CEO. “Dr Kennedy has been in the job for too long,” he said. “A bad attitude had developed in the shire workforce.”

The Tyabb & District Ratepayers Group issued a statement that the decision to seek the best available new talent to take the helm of the shire was “very welcome, if long overdue”.

Residents urge rethink on police moves Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RETAIN police numbers on the southern peninsula and guarantee that the new Somerville station will not take “much needed” police away from Rosebud, Dromana, Rye, Sorrento, Hastings or Mornington – that was the demand to the state government and police command from 140 people at a public meeting at the Rosebud Memorial Hall last Wednesday.

They unanimously supported a plea

by Police Association president John Laird to leave police numbers at present levels.

Speakers included Mr Laird, meeting organiser Barry Irving, former Mornington Peninsula police inspector Gordon Charteris, police association secretary Ron Iddles and Hastings MP Neale Burgess.

Residents are concerned the $16.3 million Somerville station, to be completed by March, will be staffed by 31 highway patrol, CIU and crime scene members drawn from smaller peninsula stations, leaving them exposed to crime.

They say Somerville is too far away – “in the boondocks” – and poorly sited for police to viably serve bayside towns, especially when holiday populations surge over the busy summer period.

Detectives will be forced to travel for long distances – up to two hours - to interview suspects and take statements.

Highway patrols will be “gridlocked” and hours away from possible trouble spots during peak periods.

There is concern that smaller stations at Rye, Dromana and Sorrento will become merely “shopfronts” staffed periodically and unable to provide “backup” to frontline police facing dangerous situations.

Mr Charteris described plans to move frontline police from Rosebud to Somerville as “ludicrous”. “It’s the same as suggesting Frankston police go to Brighton – it’s the same distance,” he said.

“I am told the decision is not yet made but I question that, and I sympathise with [Frankston Division 4] Superintendent Neil Paterson who may have to comply with directions made further up the chain.”

Mr Irving said community concerns over any reduction in police numbers were proven by the 641 likes and 11,200 posts to his Facebook page in the first two weeks of his ‘retain police’ campaign.

He said centralising police to Somerville would end the successful community policing role that had “bro-

ken down barriers with teenagers” on the southern peninsula, and end the “healthy rapport” built up over many years by having police in local sporting teams and in social groups.

He urged senior police attending – including Mornington Peninsula Inspector Karen Nyholm and Superintendent Paterson – “to convey our message to your superiors that we don’t want any reduction in police numbers on the southern peninsula”.

“As a community we demand that there be no drop in police numbers – [rather] there should be an increase in police at Rye, Dromana and Sorrento.”

Mr Burgess said he believes “local policing is important and that we should listen to the community. It is important that the community is – and feels – safe at home and on the streets.

“Local stations do that because police

get to know the kids and the baddies, and that intimate connection is important.”

To confirm his stand on local policing, Mr Burgess said he “marched in the street to help prevent the night time closure of Hastings police station and to prevent a drop in services – and just because I am in government doesn’t mean I am going to change my view”.

He said the community had “asked for a new police station at Somerville and I committed to that, but I had no intention of taking resources from nearby areas.”

Mr Iddles complimented Mr Burgess for facing what could have been a hostile crowd. “It would have been easy for you not to come; you are not the local member.”

He said the public “remains at the heart of modern policing” and that,

while “police command does not have to consult with us, it does have to consult with the community”.

“The police must understand and respond to demands for public safety – and they need to be open and transparent on this issue with the community.”

“Their allocation of resources must be shaped by the community’s views on safety.”

Mr Iddles said taking 11 CIU, 10 highway patrol and 10 crime scene police to Somerville would reduce southern peninsula numbers by 34 per cent – yet 48 per cent of the crime the CIU investigates is between Sorrento and Rosebud.

“Making detectives start work at Somerville would reduce their productivity by 25 per cent, with a minimum 35-40 minute – and at Christmas a 90 minute – drive from where they do their

work. And how do they expect members of the community here to travel all the way to Somerville to see a detective?”

Mr Iddles said the highway patrol members “knew their patch” and the cars that needed targeting, meaning it was illogical to move them 40 minutes away.

“Crime in the state is up 3.7 percent – yet on the peninsula it’s up 10.9 per cent; the state’s population is up 7.2 per cent yet Dromana’s is up 22 per cent.

“If both crime and population are up it shows no sense moving police from here. If first responders go then your safety is in jeopardy. They have local knowledge and need ownership of their community.”

He said US studies proved centralisation of policing “doesn’t work and leads to a loss of service delivery”.

Tops in tourism

Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au

THE Mornington Peninsula has affirmed its status as the state’s No.1 vistor destination after winning eight of 32 categories at last week’s 2014 RACV Victorian Tourism Awards – more than any other region.

Leading the way were multi-award winning peninsula drawcards Enchanted Adventure Garden, Peninsula Hot Springs and Moonlit Sanctuary, while Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s Wine Food Farmgate program was named the state’s best regional marketing campaign in its first year of operation.

Other peninsula category winners included Red Hill’s Green Oliver winery, Stillwater at Crittenden, Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry operator Searoad Ferries and Frankston Visitor Information Centre.

Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board executive chairwomanTracey Cooper said the peninsula tourism team was “proud to see such a rich field of entrants” from the region.

“The Mornington Peninsula tourism industry continues to evolve and it is pleasing to see new businesses and first time entrants participate.”

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi also congratulated the winners, and acknowledged the role they play within the local tourism industry and its contribution to the economy of the Mornington Peninsula.

She said it was particularly pleasing the peninsula’s renowned food and wine industries leading the way, especially in light of Tourism Australia’s latest global marketing campaign which focuses on the country’s “exceptional food and wine experiences”.

Tourism Australia chief marketing officer Nick Baker said extensive research showed food and

wine were the most important factors in holiday decision making among both domestic and international visitors.

Food and wine producers were the “stars” of Tourism Australia’s latest international marketing campaign, which aims to boost visitor numbers by highlighting the country’s “unique and exceptional food and wine experiences” being served-up at “remarkable locations” such as the peninsula.

Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s Wine Food Farmgate program, launched late last year in an effort to harness the region’s food and wine “experiences”, won the RACV Victorian Tourism destination marketing award, while Green Olive

picked up the excellence in food tourism award and Stillwater at Crittenden was named best tourism restaurant and catering service.

Wine Food Farmgate is a website and trail kit with map that guides visitors to the peninsula’s best restaurants, farmgates, general stores, old pubs, artisan producers and microbreweries.

Tourism Minister Louise Asher said Monday night’s awards, which were held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, had celebrated and recognised outstanding achievement in the state's tourism sector over 30 years.

"Today tourism contributes $19.6 billion to Victoria's economy, comprising our second larg-

est export industry, and employing more than 200,000 people across Melbourne and regional Victoria," Ms Asher said Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park was named as the state’s best eco tourism business at Monday’s award ceremony, adding to its swag of regional, state, national and international awards, while Enchanted Adventure Garden was named best adventure tourism operator, and Peninsula Hot Springs best regional tourist attraction.

The eight peninsula winners will represent Victoria at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in Adelaide in April next year.

Chilled-out holiday makers draw fire Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A LACK of awareness or concern among peninsula visitors and holiday makers of the region’s extreme bushfire risks posed a grave threat to lives, fire experts have warned.

The Blairgowrie Community Fire Prevention Action Group warns many visitors and holiday makers on the southern peninsula over the holiday season are not even aware they are in a high fire danger area, or are in denial of the fact.

The Country Fire Authority has assessed Blairgowrie as having an extreme bushfire risk, with potentially “catastrophic” losses to life and property due to poor accessibility and large population looming during the holiday season.

As such, residents and visitors are advised to leave the peninsula the day before a code red day alert is issued.

However, BCFPAG member Chris Ekin-Smyth said that advice was either not being understood or deliberately ignored by holiday makers, who made up about half the township’s population over the Christmas holiday period.

“People on holidays tend to be in ‘holiday mode’ and as such often aren’t very interested in what CFA tells them to do,” Mr Ekin-Smyth.

“But the risks are extreme, espe-

cially on the Bass Strait side where there’s a lot of dry tea tree growth. If fire started in national park, there’d be no stopping it “And with the congestion on the roads, there would be no getting out.

Fellow member Murray Homes agreed, adding that most visitors seemed to assume they could simply head to the beach to escape any fire risk.

“Local knowledge tells us that the CFA advice to leave early is not understood or not accepted,” Mr Homes said.

“The fire plan for many people is to head to the bay beach when a bushfire becomes evident [however] for a number of reasons, the CFA is not comfortable with people evacuating to the beach.”

He added that the fire risk was exacerbated by high fuel loads on public land, weed infestation, narrow roads, holiday homes not well maintained, and evacuation roads that have not been made secure.

“The weed-infested Mornington Peninsula National Park, with its high fuel loads, represents a huge bushfire risk, especially for people living south of Melbourne Rd,” Mr Homes said.

“In its present state, the park represents an unacceptable bushfire risk and leaves the state government open to class action. Some progress in fire prevention measures can be reported from Blairgowrie but much more needs to

be done.” The BCFPAG has issued a discussion paper that makes the following recommendations:  Reduce weeds, rubbish and dead trees which together make up 70 per cent of the high fuel loads in Mornington Peninsula National Park. Construct a fire break within and along the northern boundary of the park and provide more fire access tracks;  Emergency sirens should be installed to Blairgowrie’s holiday population to bushfire activity;  A new CFA fire truck should be provided to Blairgowrie to allow the existing fire truck that is on loan from Sorrento to be returned to the Portsea –Sorrento area;  Additional funding should be provided to clear vegetation to safeguard evacuation and collector roads for possible firefighting and mass evacuation purposes;  Given the council’s priority will be

directed towards reducing high fuel loads on major roads for the next five years, the shire should publish a set of guidelines to allow residents to manage weeds and fire loads on the nature strips of minor roads that constitute a fire risk.

This would require support by the shire in encouraging local working bees;  The preferred option of the local community to shelter on the bay beach in the event of a bushfire should be acknowledged and accommodated, and the new Yacht Squadron building at Blairgowrie should be identified as a Neighbourhood Safer Place;  An independent audit should be undertaken on how to reduce the extreme fire risk south of Melbourne Road.

Pending this review and associated response the area south of Melbourne Road including the Mornington Peninsula National Park should be designated as an Extreme Fire Danger Area.

FRANKSTON and peninsula residents have been warned to take extreme care when burning off as temperatures start to rise.

CFA Assistant Chief Officer Trevor Owen said conditions changed quickly and fires could get out of control within minutes in hot and windy conditions.

“The effects of an out-of-control fire can be devastating and we want everyone to excise extreme caution, especially with summer only just beginning,” Mr Owen said.

CFA community safety manager for the South East Region Jude Kennedy said that although the official fire danger period was yet to come into force, residents needed to be aware of weather conditions and council regulations.

“We’re also reminding people to always register their burn-offs so we know what is happening in the area, especially if brigades are being called to fires,” Mr Kennedy said.

“It reduces the chances of CFA brigades being called out unnecessarily if a member of the public calls about smoke or a fire in the area.”

He added that people should never leave a burn-off unattended as it’s the resident’s responsibility to ensure that it does not get out of control.

“If a burn off gets out of control, call ‘000’ immediately. People should have a fire plan and prepare for the event of fire, and remember never to be complacent.”

Heat on beach renourishment plans as sand washes away HUNDREDS of tonnes of sand transported to Dromana for beach “renourishment works” have been washed out to sea, raising questions over the value of the $760,000 project.

A total of 15,000 cubic metres of sand was transported to Dromana as part of a Department of Environment and Primary Industries project to protect the popular southern peninsula beach from coastal erosion and storms and improve “public amenity” over the summer period.

However, an estimated 10 per cent of sand stockpiled at the northern end of the beach was washed away by heavy seas early last week.

Cr Graham Pittock said he was mystified as to why the sand had been placed on the beach in the first place and questioned the value of the state government-funded project.

“There was already plenty of sand here already so I’d certainly like to why they’re bringing in even more, especially at such a high cost,” he said.

“I’ve never heard of them doing it in the past and can’t imagine why they be doing it now all of a sudden, especially if it’s just going to wash away.”

Renourished: 15,000 cubic metres of sand is being deposited on Dromana beach. Picture: Yanni

Cr Pittock said he had not been consulted about the rejuvenation project, despite be the local council representative for the area, and that if he had, he would have recommended the money be spent on renovating or replacing the pier.

“No one’s said anything to me about these works and our coastal manager doesn’t know

anything about it either – we’re completely in the dark,” he said. “It sounds like a hell of lot of money to spend on a bit of sand.

“I would have preferred they focus on fixing up the pier rather than wasting money on sand. It’s too short and nearing the end of its life so it needs replacing probably within the next ten years.”

A DEPI spokeswoman confirmed the loss of sand from one of two stockpiles deposited at either end of the beach but said only a small amount had been washed away.

“Sand stockpiled at Anthony's Nose carpark, which will be used to renourish the beach, was not affected by the storm event earlier this week,” she said. “About ten per cent of sand, from the pier end of the beach, was moved due to strong wave action.

She said Dromana had been selected for renourishment works due to it being a narrow beach that was vulnerable to coastal erosion.

Previous storm events had resulted in significant damage to “foreshore and public coastal assets” at Dromana, including access stairs, a seawall and toilet block.

Member for Nepean Martin Dixon said the

works were being carried out in consultation with the Dromana Foreshore Committee and a coastal engineer and would not only protect and enhance the beach but also help stabilise the dunes which act as a natural habitat for native vegetation. ”The renourishment works will provide a buffer from coastal erosion and stabilise the dunes that act as a natural habitat for native vegetation and it will also ensure that locals and visitors have a wider and sandier beach to enjoy in time for summer,” Mr Dixon said.

“Renourishments are one of the most effective ways of maintaining the health of beaches and in addition to the work at Dromana, a similar project at Sorrento is also underway.”

The Coalition government allocated $9 million over for years from 2011 for the Protection of Port Phillip Beaches and Foreshores renourishment program. A number of peninsula beaches have experienced severe erosion since 2009 following the commencement of extensive channel deepening works in Port Phillip in 2008, with Portsea and Mt Martha beaches among the worst affected.

Skylift permit goes to VCAT A HEARING into objections to the proposed Arthurs Seat Skylift starts in the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal this week.

Skylift consortium leader Simon McKeon said last week that the main objections centred on the Skylift top station being built at the summit rather than where the run of the original twoseater chairlift ended.

He said building a top station to cater for multi-person gondolas where the old chairlift ended would require cutting down many trees, especially under the latest bushfire regulations.

“I respect their [the objectors’ views]

but it would be wrong to go back down the hill … it’s already mostly cleared at the top of the hill.”

Mr McKeon said the consortium would have legal representation at the VCAT hearing, as would Parks Victoria, although the objections were aimed at the planning permit issued by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

He said the top station, designed with the help of the Victorian government architect, would not be visible from lower down Arthurs Seat.

Mr McKeon, a lawyer “early in my career”, said he had learnt that “you don’t get arrogant in litigation” and

was expecting the hearing to run for more than a week.

However, all going well, he hoped the Skylift would be in service by mid2016.

He believed the objectors “had no problems with the old two-seater” chairlift going back, but the Parks Victoria tender had stipulated that its replacement should be accessible to all.

The consortium could make more money investing its $14-$16 million in BHP “but I agree with Parks that everyone should be able to sample our parks – the Skylift will be quiet and electronically driven”.

‘Cold case’ cops probe icecream shop robbery POLICE are hunting a pair of bandits following the robbery of a Rye ice cream shop last month.

The two men entered an ice cream store on Point Nepean Rd around 6.45pm on Friday 17 October and approached two female staff members.

One of the robbers walked behind the counter, pushed a staff member out of the way and grabbed the cash register running out of the store with the other man.

The men were last seen running east on McCombe St with the till.

Rosebud crime investigation unit detectives believe the same men were responsible for a theft in Rosebud Plaza the following day.

Two men entered the Reject Shop within the shopping centre on McCombe St around 2.30pm and selected a number of items.

However, as they approached the counter, rather than paying, they reached over and grabbed money from the till before running out of the shop.

Police last week released images capture from CCTV footage of the alleged perpetrators, above. Both men were of Caucasian appearance.

The first was described as tall with a medium build who was wearing a black hooded top with

The second man was of a solid build and was wearing a grey hooded top with black sleeves, dark pants and black sneakers. He was reported as having a heavily tattooed left hand.

CEO Kennedy to leave shire Continued from Page 1

“In recent years the shire’s administration has appeared to have lost direction and the need for refreshment and reinvigoration became clearer each year,” it said.

The group said the need to appoint an interim CEO was “a clear failure of effective succession planning”.

“From Tyabb’s perspective we are sure that the new CEO will bring a much needed sense of renewal to the shire administration,” the group stated.

“We hope that they will demonstrate the personal initiative and drive necessary to address the shire’s long running failure to effectively manage the Tyabb airfield in a fair and equitable manner which is acceptable to the community of Tyabb.”

The Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association said it accepts that the job of a peninsula CEO is difficult because of the size of the shire and its diversity with 40 townships.

While Dr Kennedy had contributed to the development of the shire, helping to maintain the green wedge and avoiding the shire becoming part of the plans for Melbourne’s growth corridor the association believed “a change in culture would be beneficial”.

“Under Dr Kennedy’s reign debt had increased and rates have risen 150 per cent over the last 11 years compared with an average of 118 per cent, according to ABS figures for Melbourne’s councils,” the association stated.

“The association hopes that a new CEO will be

able to introduce harmony within the council which has been bitterly divided over the last few years, most notably over the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre where over a million dollars had been wasted in 10 years attempting to locate the centre on the Rosebud foreshore without success.

“It also anticipates that the new administration will be more open and transparent, and there will be more fact and less spin.”

The then Mr Kennedy was appointed CEO in 1999. He was reappointed in 2004, 2008 and 2012, with controversy surrounding the 2004 and 2008 reappointments.

Concern was also expressed about the 2012 reappointment, with many in the community feeling the market should have been tested to see what calibre of applicant might be attracted to the job.

Cr Celi’s Thursday announcement said councillors would consider appointing an acting CEO “until the appointment of a new CEO is finalised”.

Chief executive officers’ employment is handled by councillors.

Speculation arose within hours of the Kennedy announcement that the interim CEO might be Alison Leighton, whose star has risen spectacularly in the shire this year.

She was appointed as temporary replacement for former chief financial officer when Marilyn Kearney left and has just been appointed to the senior position of director- sustainable infrastructure, held by veteran shire employee Alex Atkins who is about to retire.

Candidates line up for shire’s top job COUNCILLORS have begun interviewing candidates for the office of shire chief executive officer, occupied by Dr Michael Kennedy until 14 November. But they – and shire executives – are remaining silent on most aspects of the selection process.

The News believes more than 100 applications for the plum job were received, with other aspirants advised not to bother applying, presumably

because of the intense competition for the job from highly qualified people.

All 11 shire councillors are involved in interviewing candidates for the top job, which at present pays some $350,000 plus benefits. A new CEO may not necessarily start on that salary.

A usually reliable council source would say only that people “would be blown away” when the result of the selection process became known.

Baha launch: Kinematic members Michael Owen, Mark Olszewski, Michael Clarke and Gordon Clarke all set for a big night.

Band to launch album at Rye THE band Kinematic will launch its new album at Baha, Rye, on Saturday, with special guests The Jed Rowe Band.

Their Kinecism album is the fourth by these four talented musos who have a 14-year history of playing together around the country.

“We’re stoked to be launching this full length album and sharing it with the world,” guitarist and Rye resident ‘Gordo’ Clarke said.

“If you count EPs and singles, this is our ninth release, which is a rare achievement for an unsigned band.

Publicist Karen Yuen said the album was an exciting mix of ‘folky’ ballads, upbeat piano pop, and forays into inspired ‘rock madness’.

Firefighter hot to trot in charity run ROSEBUD Country Fire Authority senior station officer Michelle Snow was last week awarded the National Emergency Medal for her role in 2009 Black Saturday bushfires.

Now she’s ready to put her best foot forward to raise money and awareness for Arthritis Victoria by competing in this month’s City2Sea run.

Ms Snow, who is also a recipient of the National Medal for firefighting, will lead a team of peninsula firefighters in the 15 kilometre run, which will take place on 16 Novemeber.

After running a half marathon in San Francisco in July and competing in a 10 kilometre run as part of the Melbourne Marathon, Ms Snow said she was keen to complete in a third challenge this year and is encouraging other firefighters to join in.

“Almost one in three people have arthritis, osteoporosis or other painful conditions affecting their muscles, bones and joints, including me, my parents, and lots of other firefighters, whose bodies suffer from the constant physical demands of their job,” Ms Snow said.

As captain of the A Team in the City2Sea run

Running hot: CFA firefighter Michelle Snow.

from Melbourne CBD to St Kilda, Ms Snow is calling on other firefighters and members of the peninsula community to get on board for the annual charity run. “Set a fundraising target and tell your friends about it,” Ms Snow said.

“If you don’t want to run, you can make a tax deductible donation and sponsor me to show your support.”

OBITUARY

Classical ‘tribute’

Death of music’s biggest fan

TEN-string guitarist Matthew Fagan will entertain at an afternoon of Spanish classical music at 3pm on Sunday 9 November at St John’s Church, Flinders.

He will present a musical ‘journey’ celebrating the Parkes family, his virtuoso forebears.

Fagan’s repertoire will include Flight of the Bumblebee-Rimsky-Korsakov, Caprice No. 24-Niccolò Paganini, Rondo `A La Turca’, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Czardas Hungarian Dance-Vittorio Monti, Traditional summer and winter first movements from ‘The Four Seasons’, Antonio Vivaldi, Flamenco Dance ‘Solearas’ and Spanish Dances, ‘El Vito’ and ‘La Partida’ and Carolan's harp and lute music arranged especially for a 10 string guitar.

Fagan recorded these concert pieces as tributes to his grandfather and great uncles on his new CD ‘virtuoso’.

His grandfather Milton was a celebrated concert pianist, accompanying his brothers and also performing as a soloist. Milton’s older brother is concert violinist Cecil ¬– who toured with soprano Dame Nellie Melba - and his younger brother is violinist Kingsley.

Their father, Albert, was also a celebrated concert violinist who performed at Covent Garden.

Fagan has toured with some of the world's greats, including Natalie Cole, The Original Buena Vista Social Club, Shirley Bassey, Michael Crawford and Billy Connolly.

Cecil Parkes’ daughter Margaret Griffiths lives in Mornington and is a member of the Peninsula Music Society. She has taught violin for many years.

Daughter Katherine archives photos and newspaper clippings of the Parkes family.

Doors for the concert will open at 2.30pm. St John’s is at 23 King St. Bookings are essential on 0438 881 985 or by email mjb2fagan@gmail.com The cost is $30 full, $25 concession, $15 for U16s, or $50 for a family of two adults and two children. A $5 discount applies when mentioning this editorial. Door sales are subject to availability.

OVER the course of several decades Hadyn Godony was one of the most consistent performers at live music venues in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

However, his reason for being on stage, backstage or mingling with the crowd was not so much making music, but driven by a love for the music and the need to photographically record the event.

Hadyn organised events and was seen by musicians as their biggest fan – he was a lifelong, devoted supporter.

Sadly, the music finished for Hadyn just after midnight Monday 27 October, when he passed away at The Alfred, where he had been receiving treatment for about five weeks.

A man of ideas and strong opinions, Hadyn carved himself a niche in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula music and live venue market.

His “Hotshots”, most often of groups of smiling people at clubs and pubs, for many years cornered the market in the various mastheads published by the Independent News Group. The pages of small head-filled photos were often the first opened, especially by young people who readily volunteered their poses for his camera.

Hadyn was responsible for the content of the papers’ entertainment section, Nightmoves, filling columns with reviews: restaurants, records and films all came within his field of expertise.

That interest saw him transition to Fairfax Community Network when it took over The Independent and subsequently changed the newspapers’ format, rebranding them as The Weekly. Always intensely loyal to whichever publication he was working for, Hadyn stayed with various papers under The Weekly banner until they folded in mid-2013. He contributed work to the Mornington Peninsula News Group, publisher of this newspaper, until early this year.

Dedicated: Hadyn Godony was a dedicated supporter of the live music scene in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: Gary Sissons

At the time of his death he was working for Mornington Peninsula Magazine, owned by his long-time friend, Lisa Walton.

As his editor for several years, I appreciated Hadyn’s take on life, his optimism and ideas.

He would often make suggestions about our publications and, if rejected, wait a few weeks and make another play with the same idea, only repackaged. He was terrier-like.

I visited him in hospital some years before he was finally taken by cancer. He lay on a bed quietly as fluid drained from his lungs into a bottle at the bedside. He made no complaint, just

“We downsized our home

asked me about the current week’s papers and spoke as if he’d be back the following week.

And, of course, he was.

Before his death, at 58, last week, Hadyn penned what has now become his own epitaph: “In the winter of 1976 I fell in love with a girl who lived in Rosebud. In a heartbeat, I left my job at Kodak in Coburg and moved to McCombe St, next to what is now Port Phillip Plaza.

I soon discovered that I had plonked down in a place that I still call paradise.

I’ve revelled in a blessed life since; enjoyed two marriages and two divorces, and lived at 11 peninsula addresses.

Many of the most gorgeous years were spent at the former famous-farmhouse, Willochra, on the old Nepean Highway in Safety Beach.

Now, I love being in this 100-year-old clinker brick in Mornington.

My first ‘real’ job, on the peninsula, was at Hastings High School where I scored a super spot as the lab tech in the science department.

All the while loving music and hovering on the edge of the local scene, I fell into job writing about peninsula nightlife for the (then) local papers The Independent and The Mail.

Carrying a camera soon became part of that and led to the Hotshots pages in a section called “Nightmoves”.

In 2007 they cut some chunks outta me, and gave me a five per cent chance of seeing this decade. I’m thankful for the angel on my shoulder.

Most days now, I’m either working as a journalist or a photographer for Mornington Peninsula Magazine and still love shooting people having fun.”

Hadyn Godony is survived by his mother Margaret and sister Catherine.

His funeral will be held 2.30pm Friday 7 November at the New Peninsula Church, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

We’ll send you home with a smile

POLICE, fisheries officials and maritime safety officers were out in force over the weekend as thousands of recreation anglers hit Port Phillip and Western Port for the country’s biggest snapper competition.

With more than 2000 people and hundreds of boats expected to take part in the annual fishing competition, which coincides with the start of the snapper season, uniformed and water police, Fisheries Victoria officials and Transport Safety Victoria officers were keen to ensure safety regulations and bag limits were being observed.

Boats, trailers and vehicles were inspected at boat ramps across the bayside, Frankston and peninsula region, while police also conducted breath tests and checked safety equipment.

Fisheries Victoria acting director for education and enforcement Ian Parks said fisheries officers would be focusing on size and bag limits in addition to checking licences during Operation Raptor, which will runs from the Melbourne Cup weekend across the holiday season.

He said fisheries officers would be targeting snapper anglers in Port Phillip and Western Port day and night over the course of the season, so it was vital

fishermen stuck to the mandated catch limits.

“Fisheries officers will be out in marked and unmarked vessels, seizing boats and fishing equipment where snapper bag and size limits have been exceeded,” Mr Parks said.

“Anglers who breach snapper bag and size limits face multiple fines of up to $433 on the spot, or $10,000 and/or six months imprisonment.

“The courts can prohibit offenders from fishing altogether for up to 12 months if found guilty of recreational fishing offences and, for serious offences, this prohibition can be even greater.”

The minimum legal length for snapper is 28cm and the bag limit is 10, of which only three can equal or exceed 40cm. Snapper must be landed whole so Fisheries Officers can measure them.

Mr Parks urged members of the public to report suspect illegal snapper fishing by calling the 13FISH (13 3474) intelligence reporting line.

The state government announced last Friday additional boating safety officers had been deployed across Victoria to assist Transport Safety Victoria’s maritime safety branch in promoting safety on the water this summer.

State urged to delay lease for Point plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

ROSEBUD COUNTRY CLUB PRESENTS

SUNDAY week was a red flag day for the state government and developers wanting to run a spa-based tourist operation in the Quarantine Station precinct of Point Nepean National Park.

The “red alert picnic protest” at plans unveiled by the Premier Dr Denis Napthine in July leasing land and buildings to the Point Leisure Group for a fivestar resort, including thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre, accommodation (luxury and camping), shops, cafes, restaurants, a “heritage” museum and jetty.

Protesters on Sunday urged the state government not to sign the lease before the 29 November election and for the proposal to “go back to the drawing broad”.

It also coincided with the release of a Victorian National Parks Association survey showing 56 per cent of Victorian’s opposed 99-year private leases in national parks, with 17 per cent in agreement.

Dr Napthine said the company run by Richard and Trine Shelmerdine proposed to spend $100 making Point Nepean an international tourism destination.

However, the announcement was greeted with less enthusiasm by groups and individuals who successfully fought against plans to develop the historic precinct by the former Liberal federal government led by John Howard.

The national park was eventually handed to Victoria with no strings attached after the election of the Labor government led by Kevin Rudd.

The current Liberal state government is negotiating a 25-99 lease with the The

Point group before test bores have been made to check the availability and suitability of thermal water (hot spring) supplies.

Kate Baillieu, long time campaigner for balanced development at Point Nepean, said celebrations had been held in 2009 “when the fences that kept people out [at Point Nepean] came down”.

“Now it looks like the fences will be going up again, to lock us out. But this place belongs to all of us and we mustn't let it become the plaything of one property developer.”

Ms Baillieu said a long term lease for the public land was “tantamount to selling it off”.

“Community and environment groups believe consultation, planning and leasing processes are inadequate to protect the historic and environmental integrity of the national park and its heritage precinct.

"Handing one property developer a 99year lease like this is as good as privatising the national park, something we’ve spent years fighting against. We thought we'd won, but now I believe this is just the first step on the way to privatising all of our national parks – it is a gross betrayal of our trust.”

Nepean Conservation Group president Ursula de Jong said that the national park would now “irrevocably change” if the government’s plans went ahead.

“The concept vision for a health and wellbeing resort with geothermal springs and spas, while adding another layer to the story of the Point Nepean National Park, ignores and obliterates its previous rich history. It is the right of every Victorian to be able to enjoy this National Park with its unique attributes.”

I write to congratulate Rosie Batty on becoming Victoria’s Australian of the Year, a poignant voice against domestic violence.

Ms Batty’s dignity, passion and her articulate response to that family tragedy, give her unique authority and value as a spokesperson for our state.

I am not writing on this subject from a position of expertise, but from recent experience in a parallel situation.

People of sane, caring, sophisticated, communities can meet, march, rail, against the crime of domestic violence (assault/murder) until the cows come home, but nothing will change until we go to the core and treat underlying causes.

There are many triggers for domestic violence: drugs and alcohol are obvious, plus mental ill health, unemployment, poverty, dissatisfaction.

These can be tackled.

The most difficult is culture: societies where women are regarded as a chattel permission to dominate with voice, fist and weapons, is ingrained.

A local tragic parallel is that of Dermot O’Toole’s murder. Gavin Perry was convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison, which wasn’t considered enough by that family and many in our community. No amount of revenge will being Dermot back.

British research shows that after 15 years in prison, a person has become institutionalised and will require the care of the state for the rest of their life.

It costs $100,000 a year to keep each person in prison in Victoria. Gavin Perry’s non parole period was 25 years: our cost to keep him there is $2.5m. Consider there are 9000 people in Victorian prisons that population is sadly growing as the community bays for tougher sentencing.

Why? Why are we demanding this as a solution that solves nothing and costs billions?

Why are we not demanding justice reinvestment to reduce crime in a more civilised and affordable manner?

Justice reinvestment is based on four programs of rehabilitation: drug and alcohol; literacy and numeracy; vocational training; and mental health treatment. In overseas countries where it has been sincerely tried, prisons actually have been demolished, no new ones built. Surprisingly, given its red neck reputation, Texas is one US state to have invested effort with outstanding success.

Those with vested interests in keeping the system as it is, such as those those who make the most (money) out of the law, undoubtedly are stumbling blocks to introducing justice reinvestment to Australia. Some Aboriginal communities are strong advocates however.

So how do you change the cultures of “throw away the key” and of demeaning women? It is time for women like Rosie Batty, who has been given the prime opportunity, to stand up and say enough. Please everyone at this election and onward, support her and advocate humane solutions to turn around this devastating blight on our otherwise magnificent country.

Frances Henke, Hastings.

Starting over The news that Dr Michael Kennedy will leave his post as CEO of Mornington Peninsla Shire on 14 November means the task for the council is to find a new CEO without any connection to existing senior management.

I believe this person needs to be ready to clear out several long standing senior people who have presided over years of questionable and often secret.

This chance to start afresh is the first for many years so council must get it right.

Keith Horner, Botanic Ridge

Port figures It’s almost impossible to imagine a standing ovation response for any speaker from us shy, retiring folks in Cowes [at a forum on Saturday 25 October held to discuss expansion of the Port of Hastings]. Applause was long and loud for Dr Hermione Parsons from Institute of Supply Chain and Logistics at. Firstly, she explained that she previously enjoyed working at the Port of Melbourne, for the government and also with freight companies. It’s clear she has no trouble holding attention to explain the whole territory very well.

Previous Victorian premiers have been

infatuated with industrial development around Hastings, up to and including Henry Bolte, as far back as early 1970s, proposing a nuclear power station on French Island.

Not much big industry has materialised. BlueScope has recently de-materialised.

Dr Parsons confirms that big new container ports create relatively few jobs because there’s no room for human error so it’s all computer automated.

The Port of Hastings is an infatuation, nothing more, nothing less. The Port of Melbourne is leased for 40 years. Capacity is being upgraded for it to handle five million containers a year, for four million Victorians. The three main container ports in the United Kingdom handle six million containers for 65 million people. The Port of Hastings is planned to add nine million containers to the five million at the Port of Melbourne, which would be enough enough for 150 million people. The numbers didn’t make sense.

Seventy per cent of container traffic is actually west and north of the Western Ring Rd, with freight facilities, providing for plenty of future growth from Tullamarine to Laverton serviced from Port of Melbourne.

These investments and lease of the port will not be written off any time soon. Neither will the freight industry invest in duplications around Hastings.

The title of Dr Parsons’ presentation is “Build it and they will come”. History is littered with big projects without a proper business case being abandoned, especially in context of container ports in other countries.

If Hastings ever does handle nine million containers a year, each day it will need 4000 B-double trucks or 140 trains at 90 containers a train.

Will the unfortunate folk who live between Caulfield and Toorak, spending weekends at Portsea, tolerate competing with so much truck traffic?

For 70 per cent of track traffic to go across town, it will need a new outer ring road, with tolls, time and pollution penalties so big that it will be cheaper to go by train up to Port Botany, NSW. Container ships visit other ports around the Australian coast which aren’t deep enough for mega ships. There’s obviously no way any mega ship will ever come to Australia to visit just the Port of Hastings, dredged deep and wide, by many tens of millions of cubic metres, at huge expense to taxpayers.

For Melbourne, the average unload/load exchange per ship is 2000 containers. Mega ships need to swap 10,000 to be viable. Big ship size doesn’t make any sense for Victoria.

Dr Parsons draws attention to 3000 hectares of land zoned for port purposes around Hastings.

There are already freight infrastructure developments at Lyndhurst east of Dandenong. So, the only way Port of Hastings makes any sense is to ask if our leaders have made promises, to favoured people, who have bet big bucks on real estate based on the port going ahead?

It was a great forum and other speakers put the environmental economic value of Western Port at $2.7 to $7 billion a year, most of which would be destroyed by port.

A Sea Shepherd representative stressed that bigger challenges have been won, but only when enough of us talk to one another, write, phone and rally in the streets.

Bernie McComb, Cowes

Rally disappoints I went to the picnic rally at Point Nepean on Sunday to add my support to the campaign to preserve the park. The day was well supported I felt.

Unfortunately, not everyone was made to feel welcome. I’m sure that most if not all that were there would have liked to hear from the Bunurong people about the importance of the area to them. In 1835 a Bunurong woman was kidnapped from Point Nepean and taken to the Bass Strait islands. Descendants of that woman were there on Sunday and would have loved the opportunity to share their story but were denied that by the organisers.

To add further insult to this, a non-indigenous person was at the microphone telling stories supposedly about indigenous culture and playing a didgeridoo.

It is very sad that the traditional owners of this area come along to take part in a community event to be ignored and treated with such disrespect.

Also, I find it disturbing that other speakers

“acknowledge the traditional owners” at the commencement of their speeches to then ignore the Bunurong people in attendance.

Neale Adams, Mt Eliza

Vote on point We are submitting our concerns regarding Point Nepean. We were of the understanding this property was given back to the people of Victoria by the federal government but now believe that the state government is intending to sign a 99-year lease with a developer. As residents and ratepayers of the Mornington Peninsula we strongly object to this decision. This should be put to a vote as a matter of high priority and should also be mentioned in the propaganda which is now being spruiked by the government, during its election campaign.

Kaye and Peter Hafey, Sorrento

Need new plan I am most upset about the Victorian government wanting to sign a 99-year lease over a large area of the Point Nepean National Park, including the Quarantine Station.

This is an inappropriate development.

The current planning process for the station area should be stopped and a proper one introduced that will ensure the protection of the site’s environmental, cultural and heritage values.

Rebecca Collins, Kew

Public betrayed As members of the state’s Point Nepean Advisory Committee (2004- 2009), we assisted with preparation of a management plan covering the Commonwealth-owned Quarantine Station and the existing national park. We then oversaw the transfer to Victoria of the Quarantine Station and its integration with the Point Nepean National Park.

Now we are dismayed by a proposal to grant a long lease of up to 99 years over about 20 per cent of the accessible area of the park, including the entire Quarantine Station, to a private developer.

We support some commercial activity within national parks and private sector investment in the re-use of heritage buildings, but the scale, exclusivity and nature of the proposed development are inappropriate for Point Nepean.

In recent years about $40 million of Commonwealth and state funds have been invested in improving the park and buildings and it now looks magnificent. But this investment of public money will be gifted to the developer and just a privileged few.

This development proposal is underpinned by the 2013 amendments to the National Parks Act, which could result in similar alienation of two thirds of public land in all our national parks.

Privatising national parks is indeed a gross betrayal of the public’s trust.

Money wasted Mornington Peninsula Shire continues to waste ratepayers’ funds on engaging consultants to prepare plans and reports, in the majority of instances, to supersede plans approved by councillors.

The latest report prepared by a consultant under instructions by the shire’s economic development department is to create a formal chamber of commerce for Rye traders.

It will hold a formal function at The Rye Hotel on Tuesday 18 November to formally present the commissioned report to traders.

For the past 15 years the Rye Beach Community Action (trading as Rye’s Up Community & Traders Association) of which some traders are members, has undertaken these tasks for the community with minimum financial support from the shire.

I believe council wants traders to agree on forming a “formal chamber of commerce” with the hidden agenda to allow the shire to use its powers under the Local Government Act to compulsorily impose a levy on the traders to employ a part time marketing person.

The latest report does not recommend anything revolutionary, just the same old things that have been stated in previous reports commissioned by the shire that have never been adopted nor funding provided for the infrastructure, or have already been implemented by the existing Rye’s Up Community Traders Group.

In a town like Rye this latest report clearly demonstrates that the largest percentage of traders are cafes, fast food outlets or real estate agents.

As a retired person who worked 35 years in marketing, I can confidently state that there would be very little benefit to Rye traders in having a compulsory levy to implement a marketing strategy – it would only cause financial stress on marginal businesses.

A simple questionnaire to traders would have established what interest there is in formalising a new chamber of commerce even before a consultant was engaged at a cost of $11,000. It should have been clearly relayed to traders that implementation would have incurred a compulsory levy.

After numerous failed attempts in the past to establish and maintain a chamber of commerce it’s not rocket science to foresee the result.

I have discussed this latest report - together with the continued waste of engaging consultants to replace plans already approved by councillors – with two councillors acknowledged that this wasteful practice has to be brought to a halt.

Their excuse is that they don’t have any control over councillor factions over the past eight years.

Internal faction fighting between councillors is no excuse for not facing up to community concerns and not implementing actions to rectify concerns raised.

If our elected councillors cannot act in the best interest Nepean ward ratepayers then it is time to raise these concerns with the state government and state opposition and have an administrator appointed to put a brake on the bureaucrats’ waste.

All senior shire positions need to be spilled and advertised so that ratepayers can benefit from employing suitably qualified officers with a different attitude and culture.

Ian G Parker, Rye

Non delivery The pro-pool on the Rosebud foreshore crowd were quite right in expecting a Liberal state government would give them what they wanted. But here it is, four years later with a state election looming and, nothing, zilch, zero.

[Nepean MP] Martin Dixon, your representative and Minister for Education, obviously did not put enough pressure on his fellow minister Ryan Smith to allow the pool to happen.

Now cast your minds back to the Kennett government of which Martin was a member and still your representative. Our next door neighbour in Mornington was Robin Cooper, the then Minister for Transport, and he couldn’t get the Met extended to include us in Rosebud and the rest of the southern peninsula. Time for a change maybe?

‘No charge’ green waste weekend Mornington Peninsula Shire will hold a ‘nocharge’ green waste disposal weekend at all resource recovery centres on 15-16 November to promote a reduction in green waste around homes in the lead up to summer.

The offer is for shire residents only, with green waste to be delivered only by residential vehicles and trailers. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste will be accepted.

Resource Recovery Centres in Truemans Rd, Rye, McKirdys Rd, Tyabb, and Watt Rd, Mornington will be open 8am–5pm Saturday and Sunday.

Residents are asked to be patient as delays are expected at the resource recovery centres, espe-

cially at the beginning and end of each day.

The Mornington depot can accept only up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip, and proof of residency is required: for example a driver’s licence or copy of a rates notice.

Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. Residents in the urban areas are also reminded that they can call the shire to opt-in to receive a kerbside green waste bin. There is a cost for this service.

For more information about the ‘no-charge’ green waste weekend, or the opt-in kerbside green bin collection service, call customer service on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000 or visit mornpen.vic.gov.au

Rigging up to catch a big red

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro THIS time of year snapper are all the rage, so with this in mind here's a basic guide to get you setup for success.

Snapper are best targeted with fast tapered (soft tip and powerful butt) 4-10kg outfits.

My personal preference is for a rod of about two metres long, which gives me the ability to keep lines away from the boat and provide a greater separation between the lines.

Longer rods also help in casting lightly weighted baits. Both spinning and overhead outfits are suitable, but reels with a bait running/feeding system are preferred. This gives the angler the ability to set a preset bait feeding drag (typically no tension to one kilogram), in theory allowing in greater hookup rates.

In shallower water braided line has little advantages and a good quality 4-10kg monofilament line will suffice. Reels should be capable of holding about 260 metres of the chosen class of line.

For those fishing with reels without a bait feeding feature set the drag at about one third of the line’s breaking strength (normal drag or fighting drag setting).

In this situation the fast taper of the rod should hook the fish.

When the rod loads up simply lift/hook into the fish. This method is particularly effective when using soft baits like pilchards, couta and other fish fillets. It’s also very effective when using silver whiting and garfish heads.

When fishing for Snapper I like to uswe as many rods as possible (four a person limit).

To do this successfully you will need to use rod holders. I prefer to use a snapper rack style holder which come in both a port and starboard configuration.

The rods tips when placed in the holder should be no more than 30 degrees to the water. Rods when placed in the holders should

be regularly attended to, lines should be kept taught and baits checked regularly.

The best rig for snapper in Port Phillip is a two-hook running sinker rig with 1-2 meters of 30-40lb fluorocarbon leader. I have one hook sliding and one hook fixed. Hook size is dictated by bait size. I typically like to use big baits so more often than not I use 6/0 hooks, but in general snapper anglers will fish with hooks ranging from 2/0 – 8/0.

When fishing with a sliding hook rig I use a suicide hook as the slider and either a bait-holder, suicide or Limerick hook as the fixed hook.

When fishing with a sliding hook rig make sure that your slider is either the same size or smaller than your fixed hook. This gives the bait symmetry, helping in presentation.

A hospital with hospitality.

At The Valley and South Eastern Hospitals, we’ll ensure that your stay is as comfortable as it is entertaining. Now with 20 Foxtel channels in every room and FREE Wi-Fi we’ll keep you connected to the outside world and feeling right at home with a great selection of movies, drama, documentaries and even live sports.

Always use quality hooks as snapper have very strong jaws and tough bony mouths so hooks should be very sharp and very strong.

So get on the water and get on the fish. We are so lucky to have a world class fishery right on the doorstep of a capital city.

Remember, it's our responsibility as the users to maintain, monitor, respect and protect our beloved finite resource.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will also receive more than $365,000 to “reconfigure” Mornington boat ramp car park under the program, which aims to improve safety and accessibility on Victoria's waterways.

Mr Hodgett said $50,000 would be provided to the Boating Industry Association Victoria to develop a business case to test the feasibility of developing smart phone technology to help recreational boaters see how busy boat ramps are and plan their trips accordingly.

The $50,000 grant to BIAV for the development of a webcams business case would enable “innovative planning to investigate the development of smart phone technology that would be linked to webcams at some of Victoria's busiest boat ramps”, Mr Hodgett said.

"The technology would enable recreational boaters to see how busy boat ramps are and enable them to plan for their boating trips more easily instead of waiting in long queues during the peak boating season," Mr Hodgett said.

Mornington MP David Morris said $418,000 would be provided for three projects benefiting peninsula recreational boating projects through the program, including works at Mornington boat ramp car park that will create a wider access and turning area for boat trailers in an effort to improve congestion during the peak boating season.

A further $37,000 has been allocated to install infrared technology for primary search and rescue vessels at Mornington and $15,000 to replace a search and rescue vessel trailer.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Peninsula treasure in hinterlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart ENJOYING itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own splendid slice of the peninsula hinterland, and from the air so reminiscent of a beautiful Tuscan villa, rarely has a property of this calibre come onto the market. This stunning rural retreat is suitable for equestrian pursuits, or the operation of a hobby farm with goats or alpacas roaming free around the 9.25-hectares. Divided into seven paddocks - each with a water supply- the central lane ways are an excellent improvement for ease of access around the property. The spectacular entrance is framed by wrought-iron gates, with a sweeping driveway threading its way through macrocarpa trees to a wide parking bay at the front of the home. With the grand feel of times gone by, the majestic foyer has a sweeping staircase that takes you up to the bedroom wing and a third living area. A formal living room has a gas log fire, and a formal dining room will comfortably seat 12 guests. The kitchen is centrally located to the formal areas and a beautiful open plan area that incorporates a casual meals zone and a family room. The splendid kitchen features quality appliances by DeLonghi with an under-bench oven and gas cook top, an Asko dishwasher and all complemented by stylish granite benchtops.

From the upstairs living room there are superb views across the property, and you can relax in style at the end of the day in the opulent master bedroom suite that boasts a walkthrough robe to a spa ensuite, and a parents retreat where you can cosy up and watch the sunsets. Three more king-sized bedrooms all have built-in robes and have their own special rural outlook. There is a double garage under the roof line that together brings the home to an impressive 390-square metres (42 square) with several quality outbuildings for farm vehicles and livestock.

Attractive Lease Terms Inspect By Appointment FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT: Commercial property in Frankston is growing strongly. Spirited bidding saw this Wells Street property sell for more than $500,000

Positive signs for Frankston commercial sector COMMERCIAL investor confidence in Frankston is at a welcome high according to Linda Ellis of Nichols Crowder Real Estate Solutions in Carrum Downs. Ms Ellis points to several examples in the past year where prices paid for Frankston commercial freeholds have far exceeded expectations, with returns to the purchaser that would be on par with those seen in Melbourne and surrounds. The company’s most recent sale was a tenanted property on the corner of Wells Street and Park Row, in the heart of the Frankston Central Activities District, which sold for $556,000 – equating to a 4.4%

return to the purchaser. Ms Ellis points to two other sales; one of a 120-square metre block of land, also in Wells Street, which recently sold for more than $3000 per square metre, and a double storey retail building in Station Street which sold above the vendor’s expected price as indicators that the growth of commercial real estate in Frankston is very positive.

“Purchasers have greater confidence in Frankston commercial properties than ever before and we are achieving some outstanding results for our clients.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville state school upheaval Compiled by Melissa Hodge MESSSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next for which entries will be received by the firm at Frankston or Mr. C.E Gomm, Somerville. *** THE Honorable A. Downward will address the electorate in Mornington at the following places during the month: Hastings 11th, Sorrento 11th, Somerville 21st, Frankston 24th, Mornington 25th, at 8 o’clock. *** AT a meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club committee on Tuesday athletes for matches during the next few weeks were arranged. Today the players hope to journey to Dandenong, the team to be comprised of Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Watson and Uther, Dr Maxwell and Rev. U. A. Kichen. *** NEXT Sunday, November 8th, is the world-wide Temperance Sunday, when all ministers are earnestly requested to preach Temperance sermons in their churches, and give Temperance addresses to the young folk in the schools. This request will be complied with in the Methodist church, Frankston. The Rev Jackson will be the preacher, morning and evening. *** THE annual Sunday School picnic in connection with the Methodist Church in Frankston was held on Tuesday last at Ballam Park. The

day was beautifully fine and a large number of children and adults took advantage of the public holiday to enjoy a day’s outing in the beautiful park so kindly lent by Mr C. G. V. Williams, J.P., for the occasion.

The picnickers were conveyed both there and back by Mr Benson’s cabs.

The day was spent with the usual games and sports, incidental to such occasions, which was varied by afternoon and evening refreshments, which were thoroughly appreciated by old and young, and the opinion was freely expressed that a delightful day had been spent. *** MUCH dissatisfaction has been caused by the Education department to parents of children attending the Somerville State school.

Through the indifferent attitude of some officials communications are shelved or ignored altogether.

Three years ago the school was condemned by the health authorities, and it was decided by the department to erect a new school.

After considerable delay in starting the work, the building was completed three months ago, and the head teacher received word to resume work in the new school.

No school furniture was provided.

The desks from the old school are being used, and over twenty scholars have to sit on the floor.

The department promised to send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee has delayed the official opening until all are promised to

send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee is disgusted at the methods with which the department is worked. *** THE November sittings of the Melbourne Court of General Sessions were opened on Monday Judge Johnston presiding.

Mr Woinarski, K.C., Prosecutor for the Crown.

John J. Fitzpatrick, 19, motor driver, pleaded guilty to the theft of money from Mrs Hunt, of the Bay View Hotel Frankston as a bailee and the theft as agent of a number of bicycles. Mr Abraham (instructed

by Messrs Boothby and Boothby) appeared for the accused, and asked that he should be given the benefit of the First Offenders Act. After hearing evidence as to character, his Honor sentenced accused to six months’ hard labor on each charge, concurrent, sentence to be suspended upon accused and his father each entering into a bond of £25 that the accused would be of good behavior for three years. *** THE social arranged by St Pauls Club, in aid of the funds of St Pauls Church was attended by over 120 people on Saturday night last.

The first part of the evening was filled with vocal items. The following being the programme: in a Duet Misses Sherlock and Cosskell ; songs

by Mrs A. Aitken, and Messrs Bows.

C. Ellis, J.C.Garrood, N. Jackson, and Wilson (Kooyong Club).

The absence of two members

caused the abandonment of the farce which had been given so successfully three nights previously in Langwarrin.

To fill the gap, some of the performers sang more songs, and recitations were given by Mrs Alexander and Mr Myers.

After an enjoyable supper a short dance followed with music supplied

by Mr C. Elie and Misses Jaeger and McGrath.

The National anthem was sung just before midnight *** A MEETING of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday and a full report of which will appear in our next issue. *** MR Mark Brody of Frankston, has been appointed Substitute Returning Officer for the electoral district of Mornington. This writ will be issued on Monday. Nominations close on 16th. Election day, Thursday 26th November. *** CR Murphy will address the electors in the Tyabb Hall on Tuesday next, and at Somerville on Wednesday, 11th November.

The candidate will again speak at Mornington on the 26th November and at Frankston on the 25th (the evening before the election). *** FRANKSTON Choral Society’s grand complimentary concert to Rosa Alba, the peninsula songstress born near your own township, gives credit

to any place as a singer, after singing at the Melbourne concert. “A favorable impression was made by Miss Alba who sang D’ell Aqua Villaince.

She is a soprano of exquisite quality and possesses excellent powers of execution.” The Age. *** LAST Sunday was an anniversary day in connection with the United Sunday School at Pearcedale.

The afternoon service was conducted by the Rev. Mr Watt, Church of England minister, and that of the evening by a Student (Methodist) from Queen’s College.

The singing by the children, under the leadership of Mr Hobbs, was really excellent and deserving of great praise.

On Tuesday evening the public meeting was held, the hall being well filled. The chair was taken by the Rev Mr Watt, of Hastings.

The programme was varied, full of interest, and instructive, and was very satisfactory to all concerned. *** THE Railway Commissioners have taken steps to investigate the complaints regarding disorderly conduct on the 5.09pm train from Melbourne to Mornington last Saturday, and the alleged failure of certain officials to check the nuisance when it was reported to them. For some time past a special watch has been kept by plain clothes officers detailed for that duty to prevent disorderliness.

WHAT’S NEW

Service, quality and value for money ESTABLISHED at Peninsula Home for just over four years, Mornington Bedroom Gallery is going from strength to strength, and owners, Robert and Angela, cannot believe the success they continue to have.

The local owner operators of Mornington Bedroom Gallery are no longer part of a franchise group and are now the only independently run (non-franchised) bedding store located in the Mornington region.

Both Robert and Angela are experienced in the bedding and furniture industry, Robert for over 29 years and Angela for over 19 years. Robert has also worked in the manufacturing side of mattresses and now develops their store ranges with local family owned mattress manufacturers.

As owner operators they are both extremely passionate about what they do.

“Being totally independent also means that unlike franchises where there are costs built in for rebates, you will not pay more than you need to for quality items,” said Robert. “We do not rely on brand names but instead prefer to deal with local Melbourne based mattress manufacturers who build fantastic value for money items as well as keeping up with current trends in the market place. Being owner operators also means that we have much lower

overheads which mean our prices are second to none.”

Mornington Bedroom Gallery specialise in 100 per cent Australian Made local mattresses.

Come into the store so you can see from their mattress cutaways exactly what goes into each mattress range, as well as having all information explained to you. By doing this you will be able to make an informed decision when doing mattress comparisons between various stores, as well as seeing the great value and quality offered at Mornington Bedroom Gallery.

The store also offers an extensive range of quality bedroom suites featuring timbers including beautiful American Oak, Blackwood, Spotted Gum and locally made Victorian Ash ranges all exclusive and at great prices. All beds feature strong timber slats.

Mornington Bedroom Gallery has recently received new ranges of manchester and accessories so come in and check out the variety.

Bedroom Gallery is at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Come back Dexter, all is forgiven

By Stuart McCullough IS nothing sacred? As it turns out, reality television is not the most reliable means by which to find the love of your life. Who’d have thunk that a process involving televised dates and horticultural beneficence might be anything other than failsafe? Let me be frank (which, at this point, is a lot better than being Blake), I have never watched an episode of The Bachelor.

As best I can tell, it’s an awkward mix of Survivor and team selection for the lunch hour cricket match in primary school. Even though the series ended with a marriage proposal, it was impossible not to suspect that, in fact, the whole thing would end in tears.

It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for everyone involved. Not just the cast either; I’m talking about everyone remotely connected to the whole miserable experience from the catering staff to the dude who sweeps up after the rose ceremony. It’s difficult enough being rejected. To have it televised to the nation seems unnecessarily cruel, even by the lofty standards of reality television. That’s to say nothing of a premise that involves a large number of women competing for the affections of just one guy. That is not how I remember single life at all.

Things have clearly not gone to plan. It’s often said that the heart wants what the heart wants. As it turns out, the heart also wants a front-page story in a national magazine. I’m not sure whether to feel betrayed or a little worried for people who are so eager to lay themselves down on the media’s

sacrificial altar. I shouldn’t judge. After all, who us can unlock the mysteries of the human heart?

Fact is, love and TV have had a long association. My personal favourite would have to be The Love Boat where hapless passengers were drawn together by a mutual fear of seasickness, an all-you-can-eat buffet and nightly performances by The Little

River Band. Plus, they had a bloke called ‘Gopher’ who went on to represent Iowa in the United States House of Representatives (really). I can’t imagine a debacle such as the one we so recently witnessed on The Bachelor ever occurring on The Love Boat. For starters, Captain Stubing could have performed the ceremony on the spot.

Also, they take a dim view of mutiny

on the high seas. At the first sign of malarkey, someone would have been forced to walk the plank.

But unlike the Love Boat, the relationship between television and romance has not all been plain sailing.

Attempts to turn real-life relationships into viewing fodder have almost all ended disastrously in the true Hindenburg, ‘oh the humanity’ sense of the word. The television show Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ran for three seasons, which was almost precisely the length of the marriage itself. In Australia, we had Marty and Jess: An Outback Wedding that featured two former Big Brother contestants. They split after less than a year and a half of marital bliss. The evidence is clear: reality TV and romance are the ultimate odd couple.

That’s because something as important as love should never be exploited for ratings by reality television. It’s best left to the professionals. By which I mean game shows.

Were it not an infringement of intellectual property rights to do so, The Bachelor should take a very big leaf out of the Perfect Match playbook. According to scientific research, music and (possibly) strawberries are the food of love. You’ve got set the mood. Try and hum the music for The Bachelor. Exactly my point – no one can. But if you were to substitute our National anthem with the theme from Perfect Match, I guarantee that everyone, from podium straddling Olympians to new arrivals would know all the words.

It’s often claimed that a good sense

of humour is highly desirable in a potential mate. However, like the 38th parallel of the Korean peninsula, The Bachelor is a heavily de-humourised zone. In contrast, Perfect Match was stuffed with laughs, both intentional and otherwise. But whether it was the humour, the sliding wall that delivered so many ‘There must be some kind of mistake’ moments that we, as a nation, can cherish forever, or the spectacular permanent sets that perched on the heads of host and contestant alike, there was much to love. You may think that my lauding of an ancient dating game show is a mere exercise in nostalgia, but you’d be wrong. Perfect Match was about the future.

Dexter the Robot remains the most sophisticated piece of technological hardware ever seen on Australian television. One part Dalek and two parts empty ice cream container, when he wasn’t busy coordinating space shuttle launches, Dexter appeared on Perfect Match. Although his role was confined to spitting out stats, he was capable of so much more. Most people don’t realize that Dexter had full weapons capability. Imagine it – the last rose ceremony of the season. The Bachelor, ready to do the honourable thing lest he should feel the sting of Dexter’s futuristic wrath. Forget shotgun weddings. Laser beam nuptials are the way of the future. Excited, I emailed Dexter. The response, however, was as short as it was direct: Dexter and the Bachelor have a compatibility score of 0%. Rejected again. Alas. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ROSEBUD Buskfest, on Saturday 8th November, is the first of what will hopefully become an annual busking competition held through the streets of Rosebud.

This year 30 performers, mainly musicians, have been selected to participate, competing for the coveted first prize of $1000 cash.

Playing throughout the morning from 10am – 1pm, buskers will be located outside shop and cafes all the way from Jetty Road through the town centre with another group located outside Rosebud Plaza and around the shops at the corner of Boneo Road. Throughout the morning the panel of three judges will make their decisions on the originality, talent and crowd appeal of the buskers. The judges are Michael Moss, Steve Bastoni and Ian Pav, three accomplished professionals who are actively involved in the singing, teaching, acting and production industries.

The busking competition is the brain wave of local musician

Heidi Luckhurst who has worked alongside Rosebud Chamber of Commerce to make the event a reality. Heidi said she has been blown away by the quality and variety of entries from far and wide. She also expressed sincere appreciation at the support of the sponsors, and for the variety of professional development prizes which can been offered to the lucky winners.

There is a category for under 14’s to encourage young talent and with the main category embracing performers of a vast array of ages, both soloists and bands.

The announcement of the winners will take place at the RoseGPO Hotel at 2pm on Saturday, with the winners taking away a range of prizes including a full production package, singing lessons, performance gigs and cash, with the overall outstanding entertainer taking out the $1000 cash.

Performance BAZ Luhrmann’s much-loved hit show Strictly Ballroom the Musical will open in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre on the 17th January 2015.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical had its Global Premiere on Saturday 12 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. This new production is staged by the original creative team behind the classic 1992 film, including director and co-writer Baz Luhrmann, set and costume designer Catherine Martin, choreographer John O’Connell and co-writer Craig Pearce.

Strictly Ballroom the Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting and courageous tale originated as a stage play that Baz Luhrmann devised with a group of students at the National Institute of Dramatic Art back in 1984.

Tickets for Strictly Ballroom the Musical are on sale now from www.ticketek.com.au or telephone 132 849.

They will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on April 8th. Tickets 132 849. *** LEGENDARY country singer, Ray Kernaghan, has been named 2014 Australasian Country Music Living Legend at the Slim Dusty Country Music Memories concert in Kempsey. The award honours an artist’s lifetime contribution to country music.

The announcement proved a popular choice. For decades, Ray Kernaghan has toured Australia and is the recipient of twelve Gold and two Platinum albums having reached sales in excess of one million copies, a major achievement for an independent recording artist.

His first album Me And Louie On The Road (1977) earned four Gold and one Platinum record. He was inducted into Tamworth’s Hands of Fame in 1981.

Ray was joined at the announcement by wife, Pam. *** THE Australian Defence Force (ADF) comprises the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

The three services operated more or less

independently until an integrated command structure was established with the formation of the Australian Defence Force on 9 February 1976.

The four domestic base rate (70c) stamps were designed by Tim Hancock of the Melbourne-based design studio XSD. The stamp designs are based on the caps and badges of the respective three services, with the fourth stamp depicting the Australian Defence Force Emblem.

Associated with the stamp issue is a special prestige cover. The ‘Remember Me to All’ prestige cover includes a facsimile of a pocket book carried by Private John Hector Croft of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the landing

at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Croft’s life was saved when an enemy bullet lodged in the pocket book after penetrating his arm. Also included is a facsimile of a letter written by Croft describing the incident.

Other products associated with this stamp issue include a miniature sheet, first day cover, stamp pack, booklet of 10 x 70c self-adhesive stamps, set of four maxicards and four designed gutter strips of 10 x 70c stamps.

A Century of Service: The Australian Defence Force stamp issue is now available at most Post Offices, via mail order on 1800 331 794 and online at www. auspost.com.au/stamps.

Australia Post has given MP News

some prize packs to giveaway containing 1 x first day cover, 1 x stamp pack and 1 x set maxicards. .

The album features duets with Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Blake Shelton, her son Jason Gould and Elvis Presley.

It’s the 10th hit album for the singer/ songwriter/actor and director with two Academy Awards and eight Grammys to her name.

Born Barbara Joan Streisand in N.Y in 1942 and was spotted at a Greenwich Village club. Streisand became the first person to win an Emmy, Oscar, Tony, and Grammy. She has sold over 68 million records – 13 multi-platinum, 28 platinum, and 47 gold. She was the first woman to direct, write, produce, and sing in a feature film, Yentl. Streisand also holds the record for the highest grossing single concert at 14.6 million.

Once married to Elliot Gould and currently married to James Brolin.

Her astonishing vocal range has made albums like Guilty massive sellers and recently saw her voted the greatest female vocalist of all time. Her boundless energy and mesmerising charisma have made her a Hollywood superstar. *** THE Production Company has announced additional performances in its season of Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman masterpiece, La Cage Aux

cause of my cheap electricity, thanks to Lord Tony’s scrapping of the evil carbon tax. *** IN fairness I should add Denny has postponed the idea of improving the rail services between Caulfield and Dandenong until after the election; great idea. This can be included with those 2010 proposals on the road and rail links; Rowville and Doncaster, the Southland Station. “It’s all happening”. *** FAMOUS lines: “With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully or desperately toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But not everybody could get to Lisbon directly” (Casablanca)...”It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen” (1984)...”There’s an old joke: Two elderly women are at a Catskill Mountain resort. And one of ‘em says: “Boy, the food in this place is really terrible.’ The other one says: ‘Yeah, I know. And such small portions.” Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly.” (Annie Hall)...“Four beers please” (Homicide). “You can’t park there” (Pharlap). *** I SPENT some eight years in Bon-

beach as a teenager into mid twenties. My sisters still live there. We had pencilled in Northcliffe Lodge Aged Care (great name) if necessary. Alas, they are closing it down, or are they?

Where to next, assuming there is a next? Kingston Council CEO John Nevins “People in our facilities understand the disruption when someone has to move elsewhere”. Funny man. Perhaps they will include aged care facilities in the new leasing arrangements of the Quarantine station of Point Nepean National Park? Arthurs Seat? *** SPRING into a long hot Summer. Atmospheric beauty in shorts and neverending legs. As Saint Jerome said “The devil’s power is in the loins”.

The absolute joy of little kiddies frolicking in the Woolworths aisles cleverly avoiding my fists. Previous addictions to smoking, alcohol, gambling, ice and obviously sex all under control. “Lay on, Macduff; And damned be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’” *** WHY is Michael Caton (Darryl Kerrigan; “The Castle”) urging us to move to The Village Glen, Ti Tree Lodge, Rosebud? Does Michael live on the Peninsula? Has he spent one night at the Village Glen? It could be me, living alone, listening and watching all this rubbish. Now’s the time to detox, others instruct me, or use roll

on painaway? A television monstrosity “A big brother double eviction tonight after the block”? Mein Gott!

Am I complaining again? Damn. *** AS a Collingwood supporter many years of biassed reporting and crooked umpires has provided me with a thick skin when times are tough, like now. One learns to look on the bright side no matter what, by nature wondering if things could get worse.

Imagine: The Abbott government appointee to the ABC Board, Peter Lewis, could succeed in his possible leg cutting role despite the expected enthusiastic support from Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Add to this the possible financial downfall of Fairfax and bingo...years back in the long dark tunnel, 1890’s style. Brrr. *** WHERE is the democracy in either of our political parties or in the Palmer United mob? I find it difficult to see how they continually shove this “democracy” word down our throats with no evidence to support it, in fact much evidence to the contrary? How can governments create unlimited powers without creating evil? Human nature does not allow it. Never has, never will. *** IT’S fair to say we are all thrilled by the likelihood of Qantas posting a first quarter pre-tax profit, not only

Harmony will deliver music from her new album Cautionary Tales (Warner) including the first single Skinny Flat White which was No.1 on the Country Music Channels video airplay chart and the new single 30,000 Feet which was released to radio this week.

Lachlan will feature songs from his acclaimed album Black Coffee including his current single You. www.harmonyjames.com www.lachlanbryan.com

A Grain of Salt THE state election looms with the usual fear tactics; Treasurer Michael O’Brien and Health Minister David Davis, apparently honourable gentlemen, would surely be better supplying us with a list of achievements and policies rather than this constant fear of Labor over-spending. TAFE, ambulances, public transport and the enthusiasm for train lines Mentone to Frankston. The Libs (and Labor) provide an obscure canvass of doubtful promises, obviously busy swapping those USB sticks; nice to be young and deviant. *** YET again I’ve received complaints from readers, complaining I complain too much? I get the message, so I’ll try to be nice. Herewith: I was at Mordialloc recently taking a walk along the beautiful Port Phillip Bay, and lo and behold there was Premier Denny, fishing. I assumed there was an injured fish as is his want, but no, just fishing, relaxing. It happened by chance there were photographers close by, obviously spotting Denny like I did. I felt a warm glow. Bonzer bloke. Okay complainants; feel better now? *** YOU want more? Excellent. My mate Joe Hockey says by paying 40 cents a week more for petrol we are helping create 6000 jobs. Chicken feed Joe mate, and more than happy to pull my weight. In fact I’m well in front be-

By Cliff Ellen for those loyal struggling shareholders but also for our little Irish humdinger Alan Joyce, hopefully paving his way to a decent $2 million plus bonus if the trend continues. We pray for the “transformation plan” as some sort of comfort to those 5000 ex employees as a result of the cost cutting exercise. *** REMEMBER cricket? One-day, 20/20, whatever. Overpaid and destroyed by greed. So sad...Amazingly true: almost all of our Liberal politicians believe the ABC is biassed and at the same time believe the House of Representatives speaker (Bronwyn Bishop) is unbiased?...“If you don’t love it, leave it” walk? Ratbags on Parade?...Roberta Williams is not Carl Williams...This 457 visa thingoany chance of a Philippino lady to care for me?. An independent survey of Herald-Sun readers disclosed some 94% had no idea who wrote W Somerset Maugham’s autobiography......Medicare, free education, the end of conscription and many more.

Vale the great man Gough; he gave us a chance...hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Jewell ton launches Sharks PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully AN unbeaten 111 from former Victorian batting star Nick Jewell saw Sorrento cruise to victory against Mt Eliza on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket.

The right-handed thrashing machine strode to the crease with his side having lost 2/2.

When Anthony Blackwell (62) joined Jewell, the Sorras were 3/48, chasing 229 for the win.

Together, Jewell and Blackwell wrenched the game away from the Mounties, getting within a handful of runs for victory with ten overs to spare.

Unfortunately, Blackwell wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to walk from the field with Jewell at the end, bowled out by Nick Baron.

While the Sorras are sitting pretty in the top four after the win, Mt Eliza is in some early season trouble.

After three rounds of matches, the Mounties are yet to win a game of cricket.

Certainly the underachievers at this stage of the season.

For the third time in two seasons, Langwarrin wilted under the pressure of the Mornington pace attack.

The Kangasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers did a great job last week restricting Mornington to 158 in their 80 overs.

However, when it came time for the batsmen to keep up their end of the bargain, they buckled terribly.

Only two Langwarrin batsmen made it to double figures, skipper Mark Cooper with 42 and James Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri with 26.

Mornington quicks Michael Heib and Matt Foon completely dominated the Kangas. Foon finished with five wickets and Heib snared four.

Langwarrin was bowled out for 119 in the 70th over.

Long Island got the points against Moorooduc and sits on top of the Provincial ladder.

The Ducs were bowled out for 103 on the opening day of the match last week and the Islanders were 4/89 in

reply.

There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of need for cricket on day two, the rain playing its part and the game being closed with Long Island leading at 6/130.

It was enough for the home side to collect the 12 victory points.

Crib Point wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t under any pressure against Pines, winning by more than 40 runs.

After making 203 on the first day of the match, the Magpies rolled the Piners for 162.

Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skipper Ricky Ramsdale was the only batsman to offer any resistance, top scoring with 73.

Luke Herrington was the pick of the Magpiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/38, while Glenn Barclay snared 3/57.

Baxter got out of jail against Peninsula Old Boys.

Reeling at 5/133, chasing 229 for victory, the rains came and the match was abandoned, saving Baxter from probable defeat.

In the final match, Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowlers completed their end of the deal and restricted Heatherhill to 207, handing the visitors a 55 run victory.

After making 262 on the first day of the match, Rye, led by skipper Tom Baron with 4/58, made things difficult for the Hills from the outset.

Jake Theobald was a shining light for the Hills, scoring an unbeaten 96.

Joel Lynch and Leigh Lambert also took two wickets each for the Demons.

Rain causes grief for Blues DISTRICT

By IT Gully Hastings is still yet to win a game of cricket this season in MPCA District grade, despite being in a commanding position against Carrum on Saturday.

After making an impressive 270 on day one of the clash last week, rain prevented the Blues from revelling in the sweet taste of victory on Saturday.

There is no question that if the weather had not influenced the match, Hastings would have been celebrating a rare win on Saturday night.

When the game was eventually called off, Carrum needed 102 runs from 19 overs with three wickets in hand. There was no way that this was going to happen.

Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers were on top from the get go with openers Mitch Floyd and Benny Johnson getting the job done.

Floyd bowled 16 overs and finished with 2/53 while Johnson bowled 13 overs and had tidy figures of 2/31.

It was good to see Carey Sawosz thrown the nugget and allowed to show his craft. Sawosz, a talented all-rounder, bowled a team-high 17 overs and finished with the solid figures of 3/44.

However, despite the great bowling from the Blues, Mother Nature had her way and prevented them from picking up the win.

Shaun Foster top scored for the Lions with 70, while Dean Polson scored 38.

As well as the rain, it was their 71 run partnership that prevented Hastings from winning.

New kids on the District block, Red Hill, sit undefeated on top of the ladder after knocking over last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand finalists, Delacombe Park.

On the small Delacombe Park ground, the 192 that Red Hill set last week didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like enough.

However, Brent Martin bowled 29

overs for the visitors and finished with the match winning figures of 10 maidens, 5/44.

Earlier, the home side was cruising at 1/90. However, the Devils lost 7/40.

Nick Christides top scored with 48 and Joel Malcolm was next best with 44. Chris Brittain also made 37.

Flinders won a very close one against Baden Powell.

Last week, the Sharks rolled the Braves for 128, however, were 1/8 overnight.

Flinders finally got the required runs, eight wickets down. Mark Maddock top scored for the visitors with 45.

Seaford Tigers were humiliated by Boneo.

Last week, it appeared that 9/145 in 80 overs was a poor effort from the Pandas, however, it proved to be enough to win the game.

The Tigers were bowled out for 118, skipper Matty Meagher was the top scorer with 31.

Stewart Mathieson, Jack Fowler and Cam Williams were the multiple wicket takers for the Pandas.

Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 251 proved to be enough runs to get the job done against Main Ridge.

Batting second, the Cougars lost 3/43 before Brad Rossborough (60) and Gareth Wyatt were brought together at the crease.

When Wyatt went with the score on 81, the target of 250 was always going to be too tough a total to get.

Eventually, thanks to 30 from James Abbott, the Cougars were able to scramble to 197. It still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to win.

Rain made it a slog: Hastings had a win within grasp until the rain intervened.

Skye belted

by Stonecats SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully Frankston YCW picked up maximum points in their round three match against Skye, claiming an outright win in Sub District cricket on Saturday.

Despite rain playing its part at certain times throughout the match, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Stonecats from bowling out the Burras for a second time.

Resuming on 5/98 and leading by 27 runs, the Stonecats finally declared at 9/150, Luke Hutchison adding a further 14 to his overnight tally to finish with 65.

Paul Fillipone was superb for the Burras with 5/34.

However, when it came time to bowl again, Skye again crumbled, bowled out for 79.

Paul Bradley claimed 3/11 to give him match figures of 6/17, while Andrew Kitson picked up 3/26, giving him match figures of 6/41.

Jeremy Daniel claimed 4/11 in the second innings to go with his 1/21 in the first.

When Skye was eventually bowled out in the second innings, scores were locked at 150 apiece. The Stonecats needed just one over to get the one run required for victory.

Rosebud successfully defended its modest 161 against Pearcedale.

The Buds’ total certainly didn’t look enough against the Dales, especially when the score was 2/96.

However, the visitors lost 7/9 to be bowled out for 122.

Adam Bryant claimed 5/35 from 22 overs while Jason Nagel picked up the other five wickets for 38 runs off 24 overs (13 maidens).

Gavin Moore top scored for

Pearcedale with 37 and Chris Dew scored 33.

Tootgarook easily accounted for Balnarring, winning by 60 runs.

The Frogs’ total of 255 last week was always going to be tough to chase down.

Other than 49 from David ‘Disco’ Ross, the Saints were never in the hunt.

Ballam Park made it back-to-back wins with a solid performance against Tyabb.

The Knights are now sitting in the top four after knocking up two wins from their first three games. Finally, after years of being on the deck, they are playing with a bit of confidence.

On Saturday, their skipper Ryan O’Connor was sensational.

O’Connor finished with 6/50 after having 1/1 overnight from one over.

Leigh Parslow claimed 4/52.

Tyabb was bowled out for 147, chasing 177 for victory.

In the final match, Dromana picked up another win, this time against Carrum Downs.

The Hoppers were in the box seat to win the match, having the Cougars 2/29 overnight, chasing 169 for victory.

The Cougars were eventually bowled out for 132.

Jeff Bluhm was the pick of the Dromana bowlers with 4/46, Craig Dunlop claimed 3/54 from 23 overs and David Timmer snared 2/27.

Ryan Lynch top scored for the Yabbies with 32 while Stuart Swift scored 29.

Baden Powell fall short: Flinders were lucky to get away with the win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Rye lands new recruits thanks to coach connections FOOTBALL NEWS Rye has done it again!

AFTER losing Ryan, Jake and Luke Semmel in the off season, along with Chris Gleeson, last year’s Preliminary finalists have been able to replace them.

The Demons, thanks to some sweet talking from former Richmond player Michael ‘Butch’ Gale, have been able to pick up five players from EFL Club Vermont.

Gale played a handful of games for Rye and talked the place up as a good club to play for.

New Rye coach Josh Moore also has a connection having played in the EFL for many years.

NEW IN STOCK

GARMIN VIVOFIT

The headline act in terms of names is former Hawthorn ruckman Simon Taylor.

Another one is three time EFL League medal winner Ryan Mullet.

Many believe he is a much better player than Ryan Semmel.

The Demons have also picked up centre half back Dean Millhouse, forward/defender Kris Bardon and two time league medallist Nathan Henley, who plays midfield.

The only piece left in the puzzle is Justin Van Unen, who played with the five new recruits last season.

Money will be the only hurdle in seeing Van Unen back in the red and blue next season.

Another major coup for the Demons is the appointment of former coach

Steve Ryan, who is returning as runner.

Ryan said last week that he was ‘rapt’ to be back at the club.

“Having a year or two away from coaching won’t hurt I don’t think,” Ryan said.

“I reckon I’ll enjoy getting back onto the ground and stirring things up a bit.”

Moore isn’t planning on playing at this stage, which is a real shame given his wonderful ability. He would be sensational for the Demons if he can get out there.

In more good news for the Demons, it seems more likely that Rhett Sutton will stay. On 199 games, it would be a shame to see a star of the competition and the club to leave without playing 200.

Finally, Ben Holmes is looking forward to giving his mind and body a break. However, don’t rule out a JuneJuly return.

Buds sign a ripper WHILE Rosebud hasn’t been able to land five new faces, they have picked up Jason Bristow from Subiaco in the WAFL. Bristow, a former Chelsea junior, has played the last five or six season in the WAFL and won the Simpson medal for being the best player on the ground in last year’s grand final.

Eagles wings clipped EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE may have been celebrating the signing of

Graeme Yeats as coach, however, they are losing players.

Michael Kremmer, Nick Connellan and star of the competition, Brent Bowden, have all signed with Foster.

It is also believed that Brad Tagg may join them.

Sharks in all sorts AS reported some weeks back, Bonbeach has lost a lot of players, including big names such as Ricky Ferraro, Paul Rebeschini and Anthony Raso.

There are three who have gone to Hastings, Cal McQueen, Matt Clifford and Shaun Foster.

There was a lot of talk that Shane McDonald was heading to Chelsea.

Not the case. He is going to Mooroopna.

Re-imagined from the ground up, and integrating the elegant lines of Mazda’s award-winning ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language and innovative SKYACTIV Technology, All New Mazda2 has more power yet is more fuel efficient, offers unequalled styling, and is better connected than any of its predecessors.

Available as a hatch, All-New Mazda2 comes with two transmission types, the 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic and 6-speed SKYACTIV-MT manual, and offers two 1.5 litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine alternatives.

The standard spec puts out 79kW of power and 139Nm of torque, while the higher spec version has 81kW of power and 141Nm of torque, both an improvement on the outgoing model.

In a win for buyers, All-New Mazda2 boasts best-ever fuel consumption numbers. The high spec SKYACTIV-G 1.5 litre petrol engine with SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission sips as little as 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres, an improvement of 28 per cent over the old model, while the standard spec SKYACTIV-G 1.5 litre petrol engine with SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission uses just 5.4 litres per 100 kilometres, an improvement of 15 per cent compared to the outgoing engine.

In a first for the segment, All-New Mazda2 introduces a Head-Up Active Driving Display on the high grade Genki model.

In addition, Genki features the next-generation HMI with Commander control allowing safe access to navigation, communications and infotainment including social media via MZD Connect, and i-ACTIVSENSE technology, in the form of Smart City Brake Support, is available as an option across the entire range.

Also new for Mazda’s smallest car are four different interior trim options. The Neo, Maxx and Genki each has its own unique look and feel, with a further colour pack option available on the Maxx.

The newest generation Mazda2 is available in eight striking colours including brand new Dynamic Blue Mica and Smoky Rose Mica, the popular Soul Red makes its debut on Mazda2, while Aluminium Metallic, Black Mica, Snowflake White Pearl Mica, Gunmetal Blue Mica and Metropolitan Grey Mica round out the palette.

With Mazda dealers taking orders now, AllNew Mazda2 comes in three grades, including Neo, Maxx and Genki with prices starting at $16,990 drive away, the best valued All-New Mazda2 ever offered at launch.
