Western Port Festival 2014

Letter from the 2014 president Not a long, long time ago, in a festival not that far, far away...

It was a proud moment for the festival team to see some of the most influential members of our community lead the street parade in 2013. The theme “Community Heroes” was a perfect thank you to all of the heroes in our communities. And most don’t even know they are heroes. It was an equally proud moment for the team to work with two young blokes aged 16-17 who volunteered all weekend to make last year happen; who made sure there was no violence by talking to their mates. They are also community heroes without even knowing it.

And so we have progressed the theme, which is now dedicated to those of you, myself included, who have been touched by that amazing support and encouragement. This year’s theme, “The sky’s the limit”, is aimed at all of us who possibly thought our dreams were just dreams until our community heroes showed us otherwise. Just being president of our massive and grand festival puts me in a

PAGE B

seat shared by many larger-thanlife community heroes before me; a privilege I am sure many of the festivals committee members feel.

Our message is simple: if you have a dream, turn it into a goal.

Grow with it, see it every day and when you’re ready, reach out with both hands, grab it and never let go.

Without knowing it, we live in a remarkable community, a community that notices greatness. And without even knowing it, our community volunteers, businesses, organisations and residents all chip in to help turn our dreams into reality. Next time you’re down by the library, check out the statue. John Coleman is a perfect example of having a dream, turning it into a goal and, with the aid of those people mentioned above, becoming one of the biggest names in VFL/AFL history.

And there are many others.

The festival team has been working tirelessly since the end of the 2013 festival to make 2014 even more successful. And

Western Port News 18 February 2014

you are all going to be amazed.

The behind-the-scenes stuff is amazing, but the weekend is going to be spectacular. We have reintroduced some of the past and blended it with the new. The woodchop is back, bigger and better than ever. A tall ship called the Enterprize is going to enter our bay, the first tall ship in living memory. The rest we’ll leave as a surprise. We have an amazing opening to our street parade, which on the surface seems to be the same but watch this space.

And the nights are going to be a

spectacle, both in the air with the RC planes and on the skate park. And more than that I won’t tell. Come and see.

And when you are amazed at what we have achieved, all we ask is you support the local businesses, companies and community groups that allowed this to happen. Shop at a business partner to the festival. Volunteer for a community group. They can be seen on signs, banners, on the Friday night movie screen just

before the movie starts, and by asking an official. Through their in-kind support, financial support, volunteering or all of the above, we will make the last weekend in February a spectacle to remember.

So come down. Have a ball. No matter how young or old you are, aim high and work hard. We’re all here supporting you to help you get where you want. Because the sky really is the limit.

Western Port Festival 2014

Festival sponsors’ celebration Biggest parade and stall count in years

On Friday 14 February, the Western Port Festival committee held a celebration in Hastings Hall to thank all of sponsors for their support of the 2014 festival.

The sponsors’ celebration has been held on the first night of the festival in previous years, but this year was held one week early, with great success.

A number of local businesses came on board to help make the night one to remember. The generous buffet was organised

by Wally and Hilda of The Sandwich King in Hastings, flower arrangements were provided by Blooms on High in Hastings, wine was donated by Hurley Vineyard

This year is set to bring us the largest parade the festival has seen in years, along with an abundance of stalls. in Balnarring, and live music was performed by Natalie & The Doctor – a singing–guitar duo.

President Steve Hosking gave a heartfelt speech thanking the sponsors and committee, while Mayor Antonella Celi provided everyone with laughs, sharing her experiences of the dunk tank

fundraiser at last year’s festival.

Sponsor acknowledgements were presented by vice-president Sarah McLennan and secretary Ross Topham.

The committee hopes to run a similar sponsors’ celebration next year, with the plan of eventually bringing back the Festival Gala.

Festival broadcast on 98.7 RPP-FM all weekend!

The festival has seen two very dedicated coordinators help with stall and parade entries – Anne Duncan of Western Port Equestrian Association and Penny Femino – and along with the festival website revamp and social media coverage, this has resulted in a huge amount of interest in the street parade and stalls for 2014.

Both the street parade and stalls rely on community groups, organisations and businesses to sign up and get involved.

Sometimes the parade struggles because it’s a lot of work for groups to put together a float or walking display – many of them schools.

But this year seems to be different – by January we had 45 confirmed parade entries, and many more saying the forms were on their way.

This was already larger than the

2013 parade, with two months to go. There are now 60 confirmed.

So keep your eyes out for a very big and exciting parade this year after midday on Saturday.

Last year, we had close to 30 stalls – in 2014 this will be 70 stalls, and the list is growing each day.

There will be a variety of food stalls, novelty and market stalls, kids’ stalls and community stalls. Some stalls will also include displays, such as the Department of Justice bus, the Scouts’ bridge, and Cancer Research Advocate Bikers.

The festival made stall places more accessible by lowering the price of the space from 2013 – we just weren’t expecting them to be such a hit. We expect that such a great number of stalls and displays will add a lot of atmosphere to the festival.

There will be stalls and displays throughout the whole festival, starting at 6pm on Friday and finishing at 4pm on Sunday.

Standing tall

By Chris Brennan THE tight-knit Tyabb and Western Port communities were this week doing what they do best – coming together to lend support to the family, friends and school mates of 11-year-old Luke Batty, who was tragically killed last week by his estranged father.

The outpouring of public grief following the shocking events at Bunguyan Reserve last Wednesday afternoon was most visible at the cricket ground itself, which had been turned into a makeshift

public memorial as hundreds of visitors brought flowers and farewell messages for the much-loved Flinders Christian Community College student.

Luke died after being struck in the head with a cricket bat and stabbed with a knife by his father, Greg Anderson, following a weekly cricket practice session at Tyabb Cricket Club about 6.20pm. Anderson was fatally shot by police soon after the 54-year-old threatened officers with a knife (see Page 2).

A spontaneous candlelit vigil organ-

ised through social media was held at the ground on Thursday night when hundreds of friends and members of the community came together to pay their respects and express their grief.

The following afternoon, hundreds of Flinders college students made their own tribute, walking the perimeter of the oval and releasing balloons.

Shortly after, Luke’s mother, Rosie Batty, visited the ground to read the messages.

TRAGEDY AT TYABB

Confronted police ‘forced to fire’

By Chris Brennan THE four Mornington police officers at the centre of last week’s tragic events in Tyabb appear to have done everything they could to defuse the situation and would be forever affected by the ordeal, senior police said.

With Hastings police tied up on other jobs, the two units from Mornington police station were the first officers to arrive at the Tyabb cricket ground shortly after 6.20pm last Tuesday and would have had no idea of the horrific situation they were about encounter.

What they were confronted with was the battered body of a young boy and a highly agitated and aggressive man covered in blood and armed with a large knife.

Moments earlier, he had threated ambulance officers. Now he was turning his hostility on them.

While the exact circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of Luke Batty’s killer, his father Greg Anderson, are subject to several ongoing investigations, it appears police had little option but to open fire.

An interim police investigation suggests Anderson had planned in advance to go to the Tyabb sports ground to kill his son and then commit “suicide by cop” by forcing police to shoot him.

Witnesses said Anderson, armed with a large kitchen knife, had shouted “shoot me” as he rounded on the four police officers.

The officers attempted to talk to him, telling him to drop the knife. They then tried to subdue him with capsicum spray. When this failed, and with Anderson now running toward them, one of the officers fired a single shot into his chest. Even this failed to stop

PAGE 2

him, with police having to use physical force to subdue the mortally wounded killer. He died about six hours later at The Alfred hospital.

Mornington senior sergeant Ron Barbary said the four officers, who were all currently on leave, had been confronted with a situation that all police dreaded.

“It’s not often a police officer ever has to even draw their firearm in the line of duty, let alone a situation like this,” Senior Sergeant Barbary said.

“People are changed forever by things like this but they will receive all the ongoing counselling and support they need to help them get back to their

Western Port News 18 February 2014

jobs as soon as possible.”

Police Association secretary Greg Davies said the officers had been placed in a “horrific situation” and appeared to have had little option but to open fire.

“It’s a police officer’s worst nightmare to see a young tacker apparently murdered by a man who turns out to be his father, who then advances on you with a knife,” Senior Sergeant Davies said. “[The police officers] appear to have done everything possible to avoid this outcome; he’s already killed his own son and there’s potentially dozens of other children in the vicinity.”

Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said while the circumstances surrounding the tragedy were subject to ongoing investigation and review, he was confident the officers acted appropriately.

Commander Doug Fryer said initial evidence suggested police had acted in accordance with their training.

“It was certainly a dynamic situation.

They were confronted with a critical incident and they used the options they thought best,” he said.

Luke’s mother, Rosie Batty, who watched the horror unfold, was supportive of the police, extending her sympathies to the officer whose hand

appears to have been intentionally forced by Anderson.

“He was confrontational, he resisted arrest on a number of occasions, he was aggressive; they were put in a position that he wanted to put them in, I’m clear on that,” Ms Batty said in an interview with a radio station.

“And that poor man, the poor policeman, is absolutely devastated I’ve heard, absolutely devastated. And you know what? He’s put a man at peace, because Greg was tormented and there was no future in his life for him.

“But he shouldn’t have taken my little boy with him.”

Anguish and anger in wake of Luke’s death

By Keith Platt THE murder of 11-year Luke Batty by his father Greg Anderson at Tyabb on Wednesday last week released a wave of anguish and anger that swept around the world.

Luke was killed by his father as the two played cricket at Bunguyan Reserve after the boy had trained with his team.

The boy had asked his mother Rosie Batty for permission to spend a few more minutes with his father.

Ms Batty won praise and admiration for her measured and eloquent grief, carefully explaining her estranged husband’s longterm, undiagnosed mental illness while describing a fun-loving son who adored both his parents.

The trauma left behind in the wake of the suspected premeditated murder has dramatically affected the tight-knit Tyabb community, which on Wednesday night was reflected in candlelit faces during a vigil at the scene of the tragedy.

Mornington Peninsula Shire, the Victorian Council of Churches and the Red Cross established a “safe space” at Tyabb Community Hall on Frankston-Flinders Rd for residents who required counselling “or who simply wish to discuss how they are feeling”.

Beyond the peninsula, Victoria Police is investigating the fatal shooting of 54-year-old Anderson by police and how he escaped being imprisoned for failing to appear in court after breaching several intervention orders.

Police from Mornington say Anderson was shot after confronting them with a knife and after being sprayed with capsicum.

Chief Commissioner Ken Lay has admitted five warrants for Anderson’s arrest had somehow been overlooked when he was

spoken to by police on 24 January.

Mental health experts have issued warnings about labelling all people with a mental disease as being dangerous amid similarities of the crime being made to Robert Farquharson, whose three sons drowned when he drove into a farm dam on Father’s Day in 2005, and Arthur Freeman, who threw his five-year-old daughter to her death from the top of the West Gate Bridge.

Luke’s death will be the subject of a review of the handling of the case by the Department of Human Services announced by Victoria’s Children’s Commissioner Bernie Geary to see if the “system” had failed.

Anderson, who had limited access to his son, was reported to have lived “rough” between a caravan at Patterson Lakes and his car.

As Australia’s cricketers touring South Africa wore black armbands in Luke’s memory, his own club cancelled all of last weekend’s junior and senior games.

Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association president Stephen Morone said grief counsellors had advised against allowing players from other clubs to wear black armbands because “this action could still cause grief for some people, particularly junior players”.

He said the MPCA board was “shocked” by the murder and had offered assistance to Luke’s family and the Tyabb club.

On Thursday the flag was flying at half-mast at Luke’s school, Flinders Christian Community College, where students were also being provided with counselling.  Call Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14 or beyondblue on 1300 22 4636 for phone counselling.

Condolences on social media SOCIAL media was flooded with heartfelt messages in the hours and days after last Wednesday’s tragic events. In the 24 hours following, Mornington Peninsula News Group (the publishers of this newspaper) Facebook page had 315,000 views of articles relating to Luke’s death.

Thousands of messages covered the entire range of emotions from anger, and disbelief, to deep and profound sorrow.

Lauren Randall wrote: “Wow ... how this one young life has changed a community and brought so many people together ... I hope and pray ‘Luke’s Legacy’ lives on in the hearts of people as he loved both his parents despite the dysfunction ... hugs to his mum Rosie x” Greg Tyrrell wrote: “I moved away from Tyabb 20 years ago but I still visit my parents regularly. I played cricket on that ground as well, I have a lot of fond memories with all my friends, it’s such a tragic thing to happen in a close knit town like Tyabb, all my condolences to the family and the people who witness the horrific scene.”

Kaz Willoughby wrote: “R.I.P Little Man, I’m still in shock. Can’t believe what this world has become. Very sad indeed. My thoughts are with This Little Man. In the Arms of Angels now!”

Nadia Tsaikos wrote: “RIP sweet sweet angel. Mum and family, our hearts and strength truly go out to you. Even though we are complete strangers, we are all here for you to lean on. Mum, grieve as much as you need too my darling, talk to your baby every day, he is with you forever. All our love to you.”

Amber Kendling wrote: “RIP little man. This story is just tragic and so hard to comprehend.

Clare Sciberras wrote: “Deepest condolences to the boy’s Mum and family. I can’t even comprehend how anyone could do something so horrific to someone let alone a child! Rest In Paradise Luke.”

Sharon Edwards wrote: “My heart breaks for the family and friends and most of all a young boy who never got to really enjoy the life he had ahead of him. God bless you little man. You’re up with the angels. Fly Luke Fly.” Kait Nolan wrote: “Such a horrible nightmare for any family. RIP to a special little boy taken far too soon. Strength and love to his family at this extremely sad and desperate time.”

TRAGEDY AT TYABB

Time to turn tide on family violence

By Chris Brennan A ONLINE charity fund in honour of Luke Batty has been set up by friends of his mother, Rosie, to ensure some good comes from the tragedy. ‘‘For Rosie, her strongest belief is that something good can come out of this,’’ said close friend Jane McGrath, who has set up the Luke Batty Fund on gofundme.com “As Rosie Batty comes to terms with the loss of her son Luke this week, we can all help by showing our financial support,” Ms McGrath wrote on the website.

“Rosie truly believes something good has to come out of this tragedy.

She has expressed interest in picking a charity that will help commemorate her son.”

Ms Batty posted a comment on the community fundraising website, confirming her support for the fund.

“Please be assured that this is a site that has been set up by a very old

friend of mine who was desperate to help me in any way that she could,” she wrote. “Whatever you would like to give would be wonderful and I shall use the money raised to honour Luke you can be assured of that.”

Ms Batty’s compassion and dignity in the face of the tragic loss of both her son and former partner have been a source of admiration.

She has highlighted the issue of domestic violence while being careful to explain that her estranged husband had suffered a long-term, undiagnosed mental illness.

“I want to tell everybody that family violence happens to everybody, no matter how nice your house is, how intelligent you are; it happens to anyone and everyone. This has been an 11-year battle,” she explained the day after the death of her only child.

“What triggered this was a case of his dad having mental health issues; he was in a homelessness situation for many years, his life was failing, every-

thing was becoming worse in his life and Luke was the only bright light in his life.

“And what I want to share with you is, I’m the victim of family violence and if anything comes out of this, I want it to be a lesson to everybody.”

Ms Batty said victims of family violence were often judged.

“When you’re involved with family violence, friends, family judge you, the woman. The decisions you should make, the decisions you don’t make.

“You’re the victim, but you become the person that people condemn. The people here reading this will say ‘why didn’t she protect him; why didn’t she make certain decisions’.

“But when you actually finally decide enough is enough, and decide to go through a court process, you do not know what the outcome will be.”

Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service chief executive Annette Gillespie said the “senseless and tragic loss of life” highlighted how urgently

the issue of family violence needed to be addressed.

“Everyone loses out in family violence. A mother has lost her child and an entire community is in mourning.

The impacts of family violence are devastating and far reaching,” she said.

Ms Gillespie said it was important for the community to understand that acts of family violence very rarely occurred as isolated or random incidents.

“We see too often cases where abuse has continued or even escalated after family violence offenders become subject to intervention orders.

“When slapped with family violence intervention orders, offenders feel a sense that they are losing control so they may intensify their violent tactics in a bid to regain control over their victims. Family violence is very intentional and is part of a systematic pattern of abuse to maintain power and control over victims.”

Ms Gillespie said killing children was often a father’s act of punishment

directed at the children’s mother.

“The intention is to harm the mother and the killing of the children is just another form of family violence. It is the ultimate expression of power and control within the relationship.”

She said that in cases where fathers had killed their own children, there was often a history of violence and abuse toward the mother.

“It’s common for controlling behaviour to be a key feature in cases where men have killed their children,” she said. “When the relationship ends, the man feels the need to exercise power and control over his family. He sees his wife and children as his property.”

“We also see many cases of men blaming mother for divorce or separation. They justify the killing of their children with the idea that their partners drove them to do it.”

For more information about family violence, call the Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service’s 24-hour crisis line on 1800 015 188.

Community stands tall Continued from Page 1

A memorial page has been set up on Facebook, with thousands of messages of condolence and expressions of deep sorry being posted. An online charity fund has also been set up by friends of Rosie Batty (see story above).

Hastings police and Mornington Peninsula Shire were quick to make counselling and support services available to anyone needing help and those who just wanted to someone to talk to following the shocking events.

A “safe space” organised by the shire, Victorian Council of Churches and Red Cross was set up at Tyabb Community Hall on Frankston-Flinders Rd for friends and residents who required counselling “or who simply wish to discuss how they are feeling”. The hall remained open over the weekend.

A public memorial service is being planned to enable members of the community to pay final respects to Luke, but a date and further details are still being worked out in consultation with Luke’s family and will follow a funeral service expected to be held later this week.

Police have also indicated that a public meeting was being planned to enable members of the community to ask questions and seek advice.

Hastings police Senior Sergeant Alan Courtney said police would be visiting schools and cricket practice sessons at Tyabb to help young people in the area feel safe.

“We also plan on conducting a public meeting so that all members of the Tyabb community have an opportunity to express themselves and ask any questions they might have,” he said.

Counselling services were made available to teachers, staff and students at Flinders Christian Community College.

“Flinders is devastated by the sudden and untimely death of one of our Tyabb junior school students. Our school community is in shock and struggling to come to terms with these tragic circumstances,” school officials said in a statement.

“Briefings have been held for staff, students and Flinders parents, and all our chaplains [and] counsellors will be joined by counsellors from other local schools and churches to support our students, staff and parents throughout the day.

“Our prayers and support are extended to the boy’s mother and we thank the members of the community who have rallied to support her.”

A Department of Education critical incident team was sent to the school to help deal with the trauma, and support officers also visited 12 other schools in the region to provide counselling.

Flinders Christian Community College executive principal Jill Healey said the loss of the beloved grade 6 boy was “an absolute shock and a tragedy”.

‘Hastings model’ open and set to go national

By Keith Platt SITES have already been chosen on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston to build three group houses for senior citizens, families on low incomes, and people with intellectual and physical disabilities.

Based on the “Hastings model” officially opened on Saturday, sites have been obtained for the new homes but money to build them is yet to come.

Residents moved in to the Hastings development between Marine Pde and Church and King streets in November, about 18 months behind schedule.

Much of the delay was caused by soil pollution from disused petrol storage tanks only unearthed during the final stages of construction.

Environment Protection Victoria would not consent to the project being finished until contaminated soil had been removed.

The 20 units are next to a group house managed by Karingal Konnections for six people with severe disabilities supported by live-in carers.

The $5 million development is a partnership between Frankston Peninsula Carers, Department of Human Services, Mornington Peninsula Shire, and Community Housing.

In congratulating the carers group led by president Joy Jarman and her committee, for persevering with the project, Flinders MP Greg Hunt said at the official opening that all three tiers of government had been involved.

He said a leading member of the group, former horse breeder Norm

Carlyon, “is now breeding the Hastings model to go nationally”.

Creation of the project followed provision of the land by Don and Hilda Hodgins.

Mr Hunt said provision of housing was “a test of a great society” adding that money was being raised for two

similar projects on the peninsula, models that “we will take around Australia”.

Mr Hunt used a quote by T E Lawrence (inspiration for the film Lawrence of Arabia) to describe the tenacity and commitment of Frankston Peninsula Carers group: “All men

dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”

Ms Jarman said members of the

carers group had been appalled at the lack of interest shown in providing housing to society’s “forgotten people”, adding there were an estimated 300 people needing accommodation in the region.

“We needed to initially raise $750,000 and [the authorities] didn’t think we’d do it,” she said.

“The Hastings model is a unique concept and all the challenges and the protracted and frustrating process has proved worthwhile.”

Ms Jarman said land to build a group house for six intellectually disabled adults was being leased from Balnarring Anglican Church “but we need the Department of Human Services to provide recurrent funding”.

Sites for similar projects were being sought in Frankston and Rosebud.

Ms Jarman said provision of housing for the needy “shouldn’t be a political football”.

“I understand both sides are committed to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, but that doesn’t provide bricks and mortar.”

Ms Jarman said the projects provided comfort to some parents whose children needed life-long care.

“They wonder what happens to their children when they die. There is no choice when it comes to housing – adults are living at home with elderly parents.

“There needs to be less bureaucracy, innovative planning and money to go into buildings. The current situation is not good enough for a rich and wealthy country.”

Thieves target men’s shed THIEVES have dealt a blow to members of Hastings Men’s Shed by stealing about $8000 worth of tools and equipment.

A section of the outside wall of the metal-clad building was prised open by the robbers last Thursday night or early Friday morning.

Once inside, the thieves were able to carry the mainly woodworking tools and

equipment out of the back door.

The haul also included a TIG welder, desktop computer, mobile phone and some toolboxes of members.

A safety light on the neighbouring Hastings Community Hub building was smashed, providing cover of darkness for the break-in.

Men’s shed secretary George Knight said one of the burglars

must have been small to squeeze through the wall panel and timber frame.

“They obviously targeted certain types of equipment,” he said.

The stolen items had been bought with grants and donations since the shed opened in 2009 as well as being paid for by some of the 40 members.

A FREE Mornington Peninsula to Frankston bus service will be extended this year to better meet the needs of students, apprentices, trainees and job seekers looking to get to work, school and job interviews.

The PenBus service will restart on 24 February and now operate from Rosebud to Monash University’s Clayton campus, including stops at Dromana, Safety Beach, Mt Martha, Mornington bus interchange, Mt Eliza, Chisholm TAFE in Frankston and Frankston train station, and Monash University’s Peninsula campus.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi said improvements to the service had been made in response to passenger feedback.

“To be able to offer this service helps support our local community to get to where they need to go to take part in education, training and jobs, and it helps to improve the long-term issue of access to education and employment from the peninsula,” Cr Celi said.

“PenBus transports passengers to the main tertiary education options in the southern region, and helps people get to and from training and job opportunities with key connections to transport hubs such as the bus terminal in Mornington and Frankston train station.

The shire’s sustainable transport project coordinator Rita Kontossaid said PenBus was open to all tertiary students, apprentices, job seekers and trainees.

“All you need to do is jump on the shire’s website and register, then you can start using this free service that’s currently connecting about 118 people to their education and jobs in six round trips Monday to Friday,” she said.

THERE’S nothing Lyn Thompson loves better than to take her granddaughter Tily to the skatepark on Hastings foreshore.

Although she is just four, Tily likes to ride her scooter on the gentle concrete curves, mixing with other riders on skateboards, bicycles and scooters.

However, Mrs Thompson says there is a gap in safety at the skatepark because there is no shaded seating

providing an adequate view of the skaters.

“In this day and age with known problems of the sun they could put up shade sails or something else,” she said.

“There is shade under the trees, but you can’t watch the children from there. We need seating and a shelter for when it gets really hot.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s

recreation planning team leader Fiona Colquhuon said the shire would “investigate options” to improve shade and seating at the skatepark.

“While there are currently a number of seats in close proximity to the skatepark, the shire will investigate options for shaded seating which offers better viewing of the skate area such as additional tree planting or relocating seating,” she said.

Shire’s finance chief resigns

Sailing in for festival

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s top finance executive has resigned after just over a year in the job.

Marilyn Kearney, the Director of Sustainable Organisation, has been appointed to a similar role at inner-city Boroondara Council.

Her departure means the shire has lost two senior executives in as many months with the recent retirement of Noel Buck, the shire’s governance and corporate manager, who last September announced he would leave in December after 38 years in local government including 18 with the shire.

Ms Kearney replaced Kevin Clarke, who held the position for 13 years, joining the shire in 1999 – soon after CEO Michael Kennedy arrived from Boroondara – and leaving in August 2012.

Mr Clarke became the senior finance officer of Mornington-based FrankstonMornington Peninsula Medicare Local, a federal government-funded organisation that assists medical professionals keep people out of hospitals.

Ms Kearney started at the shire in December 2012 and is responsible for the finance, IT, property and valuations, governance, and customer support departments.

She came from Monash Council where she fulfilled similar finance and corporate planning roles for more than 11 years, and served as acting chief executive for a short time in 2010.

Ms Kearney is a board member of

MELBOURNE’S only tall ship, Enterprize, is sailing to Hastings to be at the Western Port Festival for three days, the first tall ship recorded coming alongside the town’s jetty.

Enterprize will take members of the public on trips from Stony Point. It will be in Western Port from Friday (21 February) till Sunday and will come alongside the jetty at 7pm on Saturday.

The ship’s crew will be wearing period costume and fire a cannon to signal her arrival.

Passengers boarding at Hastings will go on a fully catered, sunset cruise and have a grandstand view of festival fireworks at 9.30pm.

One-hour day sails will be open to the public on Sunday with the ship open to visitors 11.30am12.45pm.

The Enterprize Ship Trust is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to telling the story of the founding of Melbourne in 1835 by John Pascoe Fawkner’s original Enterprize.

Fawkner’s Enterprize sailed into Western Port before Port Phillip, but a decision was made to not settle near what is now Hastings because of lack of fresh water.

Details and bookings at www. enterprize.org.au

Local Government Professionals, also known as LGPro, and a member of its finance committee.

She is a member of the advisory board at Monash University’s Faculty of Business and Economics, a position she has held for more than five years.

Ms Kearney is well known in local government circles and is a promoter of women in senior local government roles.

The News understands shire staff were told Ms Kearney had resigned as her husband did not want to move to the peninsula but council watchers claim more sinister reasons including conflict over the preparation of the budget and the divisive issue of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA).

Ms Kearney presented a report from the shire executive on the two SPA site options at a council meeting on 9 December. It favoured the foreshore Crown land site over the Wannaeue Place location. It stated SPA would cost $28 million but in March the shire said it would be $33 million.

It was odd Ms Kearney presented the report instead of Director of Sustainable Infrastructure Alex Atkins or recreation and leisure manager Peter Gore.

Ms Kearney will leave in mid-April.

Alison Leighton, an engineer and the shire’s manager of infrastructure strategy, will be Acting Director of Sustainable Organisation until a replacement for Ms Kearney is found.

Smaller servos in Baxter wedge

Dark side to attractive sunsets WHILE smoke-filled air made for unusual sunsets across Port Phillip from the Mornington Peninsula, it also caused dangers to asthma sufferers.

The Asthma Foundation of Victoria said smoke and increased air pollution from bushfires can cause people with asthma to experience symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness or shortness of breath. “Bushfires are not only harmful to homes and property but also to peo-

ple’s health. We are urging people to ensure their asthma is well managed and they take precautions to avoid smoke and detect any worsening asthma symptoms,� foundation CEO Robin Ould said.

Tips to avoid smoke distress included staying indoors, closing doors and windows, turning air-conditioning to recycle or off and keep reliever medication close at all times.

Meanwhile, the National Asthma

Council Australia warned that some air conditioners and dehumidifiers can exacerbate symptoms.

The council’s Sensitive Choice program lists more than 300 products and services that may suit people with asthma and allergies at www.sensitivechoice.com.au For information about managing asthma and preparing for bushfire smoke, call 1800 278 462) or visit www.asthma.org.au.

THE twin freeway service centres on Peninsula Link at Baxter will be smaller than first proposed.

The centre was knocked back by Mornington Peninsula Shire in December 2011 and its refusal confirmed by the state planning tribunal in mid2013.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal stated that key reasons for the refusal included insufficient traffic to justify the twin servos, loss of green wedge farmland, and the project’s potential impact on breeding grounds of the threatened dwarf galaxia native fish.

Service station builder AA Holdings reworked its proposal and bypassed the council and the tribunal, asking Transport Minister Terry Mulder to lobby Planning Minister Matthew Guy to rule on a smaller proposal.

Mr Guy is seeking comment from the shire before making a decision but there will be no public consultation.

The proposal will be discussed at the council meeting on 24 February at Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.

AA Holdings has reducing the size of buildings on both sides from 3000 square metres to 1500 and from 9 metres high to 6.

Other changes include food shops reduced from five to three, smaller and lower canopies over fuel bowsers, smaller signs, and improved picnic areas that will feature fountains.

Earth mounds will be constructed near both servos to reduce noise for residential neighbours.

About 1500 trees and an unknown number of shrubs and other plants will be grown.

The northbound servo has been moved about 100 metres from dwarf galaxia habitat.

AA Holdings’ town planner David Hansen said there had been significant changes made to deal with VCAT and council concerns about the environment and amenity.

New inclusions include rainwater tanks, LED lights and recharging bays for electric cars.

A wetland would be constructed in the area where dwarf galaxia had been seen in the past.

The twin servos will take about a year to build.

Rosemary West of Green Wedges Coalition said it was bad enough that the peninsula green wedge had been scarred by Peninsula Link without twin service centres going in the green wedge at Baxter. “There are almost identical facilities in Frankston and in peninsula towns about 10 minutes from the Baxter side,� she said. “If the state government supports this, there will be consequences at the upcoming election.�

LETTERS Speakers miss point ANOTHER Australia Day has passed without a mention by the majority of orators about the true meaning of the day. As a descendent of the First Fleeters, it irks me to hear speeches by Australia Day ambassadors and other speakers who make no reference to the fact that it is the anniversary of the day that the 11 ships of the First Fleet arrived at Sydney Cove in 1788.

The main theme of most speakers seems to be the Aboriginal factor, which, in hindsight, could have been handled better, but times were so different then with regard to colonisation – think Cortez and the Aztecs.

The authorities in England gave strict instructions to Governor Phillip to treat them kindly, which he did, but the situation deteriorated when there was violent resistance from Aborigines.

With the harsh environment and land being unsuitable for farming, the settlers of Sydney Town had great difficulty surviving and death from starvation was not uncommon.

Fortunately, the nation has come to recognise that so much of the Australian character can be traced back to the first settlers when the colony was little more than a vast underprivileged British jail.

A significant quote by Professor Greg Melleuish of the University of Wollongong warrants repeating: “One can only build a better future if one has a proper respect for those who have come before us.�

Governor Phillip and the First Fleeters laid the foundation for the prosperous nation we enjoy with pride today, and recognise and remember them as its founders.

Shire phone survey REGARDING the article about Mornington Peninsula Shire’s annual community satisfaction survey (“Shire faces phone survey test�, The News, 11/2/14), I was one of the lucky 400 recipients of a call.

Questions ranged from road and footpath conditions, parking availability, access to arts facilities, their state of repair, aged care services,

Rosebud Kite Festival Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th March, 2014.

and environmental and planning performance.

Can’t remember more detail now, as the following night I was the fortunate phone owner to cop a survey into attitudes about Victoria Police, their trustworthiness, how safe I felt on roads and pathways during the day and at night, and if my area was subject to noisy parties, home invasions, vandalism and gangs.

Meanwhile, on the bike path this morning I was on hands and knees trying to untangle the dog lead from my “mobility device� aka scooter, when about 20 gents in lycra stopped to “render assistance�. They were riders from the Southern Peninsula U3A cycle group and were most efficient.

Pity about the behaviour of one of my pooches who has an aversion to bicycles. The other, however, loved the attention, as did I. Thanks very much, chaps. Thanks also to the women riders who waited to ensure we were properly on our way.

ON 28 January, our donation of rice for the Philippines left Hastings bound for Footscray.

As arranged by the Philippines Consulate, the rice was to be packed in a container and shipped

by Rotary International. Each bag carried a message of support to the Philippines people from the people of Western Port.

I would like to thank the people who made this possible: Tallon Real Estate for arranging storage, Burmak Cabinets for use of a forklift, K & K Steel for a truck to transport the rice, businesses that gave up their Christmas parties to donate funds, local schools, and our members.

Last and certainly not least, thanks to the public for digging deep and enabling us to reach our ambitious target. It was a fantastic effort from all who donated.

Gondola chairlift plans go public Skylift was given a 50-year lease, which required an amendment of the National Parks Act, and permission to bring the chairlift across Arthurs Seat Rd to the very top of the mountain.

Mr McKeon – the 2011 Australian of the Year, Macquarie Group Melbourne office executive chairman and CSIRO chairman – is one of four shareholders in Skylift.

Ray Barnard-Brown of ABCD said he had seen perspective drawings of the ride, and the association was looking forward to the gondola ride being built.

Key issues expected to be debated by the council include fire safety, the environment, and traffic and parking.

Mr McKeon said Arthurs Seat was a recognised “hot spot� and the company had been consulting with the CFA. “We’ll be able to get everyone off the chairlift in seven minutes in the event of a fire,� he said. Skylift would install a large water tank for firefighting.

A wider corridor up the mountain will need to be cleared to enable installation, and Skylift has identified private land next to Arthurs Seat State Park to be offered to Parks Victoria as a “vegetation offset� for clearing.

Mr McKeon said the company had asked Parks Victoria to invest $1.5 million to improve the state park, mainly for extra parking at the top and bottom.

Friends of Arthurs Seat will likely object to the plan as it is concerned about the top station taking parkland, the ride crossing Arthurs Seat Rd, clearing of a wider corridor, noise if the ride operated at night, and increased foot and vehicle traffic.

By Mike Hast PLANS for the $14 million Arthurs Seat chairlift will be made public on Wednesday by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

They will be on exhibition and open for public comment until 5 March although the shire will likely accept submissions until the matter goes before the council several weeks later.

Arthurs Seat Skylift chief Simon McKeon will present details of the proposal at a public meeting organised by Association for Building Community in Dromana (ABCD) on Monday night 3 March at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club.

Skylift submitted its planning application to the shire on 23 November but was asked for more information.

Late last year, Mr McKeon said Skylift was hoping to get approval by the end of the first quarter of 2014, start construction in spring this year and open the ride before the end of 2015.

The ride 1000 metres up the western side of Arthurs Seat will have gondolas instead of the open chairs that carried up to 90,000 people a year between 1960 and 2006 when WorkSafe closed the chairlift after the last of three major incidents, including the January 2003 collapse of one of eight pylons that injured 12 people and stranded dozens more.

Arthurs Seat Skylift was selected by the Brumby Labor government in October 2010 to build a new chairlift after the previous operator, Richard Hudson, was denied permission to operate the ride, despite spending more than $1 million rebuilding it in 2003-04, installing new, stronger pylons (built in Dromana), new bolts, a new $28,000 cable, a new motor to haul the cable, upgraded controls and other improvements.

Feeding mind, body and soul THE world of complementary health, spiritual awareness and personal development will be on show at Dromana Community House next month at the inaugural Mind Body Soul Expo.

Community house coordinator Michelle Robertson said the event would include dance and movement, yoga, Pilates, beauty therapy, massage therapy, qi gong, holistic healing, spiritual healing, art therapy, nutrition, chiropractic and body work, kinesiology, reflexology, feng shui, reiki and meditation. “It’s a chance for people to enhance, energise and invigorate their lives,” she said.

The expo is a logical step for the community house, which runs classes and workshops in qi gong (similar to tai chi), Pilates, yoga, relaxation and meditation, and Chinese medicine.

Ms Robertson said the event would include exhibitors from around the peninsula showcasing healing, self-development, nutrition, meditation,

massage, dance, counselling, eco-friendly products and more. “People can learn from top teachers in their field and be inspired by inspirational speakers and demonstrators,” she said.

There will be free seminars, workshops and demonstrations for adults and children.

“The hourly workshops will give attendees a small taste of what is available on the southern peninsula and how looking after your mind, body and soul is more than just a catch phrase.”

A stall or site costs $20 and money raised will go to the community house to support its low-cost classes and workshops. Admittance is a gold coin.  Mind Body and Soul Expo, 10am-3pm, Saturday 8 March (International Women’s Day), Dromana Community House, 15 Gibson St. Details: Dromana Community House, 5987 2631 or Michelle Robertson, 0466 332 316.

Cultural get-together on national day HISTORY, different cultures and religions came together during a dinner to celebrate Australia Day held by the Langwarrin-based Ahmadiyya Muslim Association.

MPs, councillors and senior police were among 150 community leaders and representatives at the dinner on Saturday 1 February, nearly a week after the association joined the Australia Day parade in Melbourne.

The association’s Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque is in the renovated former Leisureland Fair theme park, off North Rd, which closed in 1992 with much of its surrounding land being subdivided for homes.

The dinner began with a recitation from the Quran and its translation in English followed by formal acknowledgement of the traditional owners of the land and the National Anthem.

Rehmat Samiullah, the Australian Muslim Association’s Victorian secretary for external affairs, gave a brief history of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community and its humanitarian services.

Guest speakers spoke about the association’s role, including interfaith dialogue, blood drives, Clean Up Australia Day and Red Cross door knock appeals.

Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor told diners Frankston Council, Melbourne Water and the Muslim association were partners in building a “Harmony Creek” picnic and recreation area next to the Muslim centre.

Member for South East Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich described Ahmadi Muslims as “really a beacon of the Islamic religion because it doesn’t only shine the very best course of Islamic faith but also, I think, the underpinning philosophy that integrating into the society or the nation in which you live is so important to your success”.

Cranbourne MP Jude Perera said he admired the “conduct” of the association “and also how much they have integrated into the mainstream of Australia”.

“This is a great news story that will allow the local community here to go jogging around the creek area, have picnics and the area would be enhanced and beautified for the community to use,” he said.

“I think it’s just a great example of how the mateship and giving back comes into play. Frankston Council is proud that you have called Langwarrin home and we look forward to further partnerships in the future.”

Three men saved from Gunna rip THE quick actions of a Rye police officer and two members of the public saved the lives of three swimmers caught in a rip at Gunnamatta Beach last week.

Police noticed three men had been swept more than 200 metres out to sea by a strong current about 4.15pm on Thursday.

Leading Senior Constable Anthony Coates and two members of the public braved the treacherous conditions and swam out to the stricken men.

Together they were able to assist the men safely to shore where they were treated by waiting ambulance crews.

Sergeant Daniel Lean of Rosebud police said he was proud of the efforts of Leading Senior Constable Coates and the two men.

“This could have ended in tragedy if not for the brave actions taken by Anthony and the members of the public,” he said. “It also serves as a timely reminder that if you are going swimming, make sure you check conditions and swim in appropriate locations.”

The incident followed the rescue of a 17-year-old girl from Frankston beach last Saturday week.

A 15-year-old boy from Frankston South kept the girl afloat for more than an hour as she slipped in and out of consciousness about 250 metres off the beach after going to her rescue about 9.30pm. He was later helped by a Frankston police officer who swam out about 10.30pm.

She was taken to Frankston Hospital and released the following day.

Instrumentalist tops day of fun and fashion

By Cameron McCullough A LOVELY summer day blessed the last midweek Mornington Cup before a move to a coveted Saturday position in 2015.

Fashion was the main race on the day for many with both men and women impressing with plenty of colour and style.

Fashions on the Field had 135 entrants over four categories with Breanne Beatson (pictured) winning the Stylish Ladies (18-40), and Lucy Atkins the runner-up. In Stylish Ladies 40 plus, Elana Gold won with Pamela Charleston the runner-up. In the Marvellous Millinery category, Dee Worrell won and Jenny Beard was runnerup. In the Stylish Gentlemen category, James Ducker won and Michael McAlpine was second.

The Cup was won by Irish-bred gelding Instrumentalist, securing a Caulfield Cup spot with victory in the $350,000 event, which carried a ballot exemption from the world’s richest 2400-metre handicap – now worth $3 million.

Trainer Chris Waller’s Melbourne foreperson, Justine Hales, said: “I think he deserves a spell now; he’s had a pretty big prep, and I can guarantee Chris has probably got everything mapped out already [towards the Caulfield Cup].”

Instrumentalist not only collected the Caulfield Cup ballot exemption for the win – the eighth of his 28-start career – but also the $210,000 winner’s purse almost doubled his pre-Mornington winnings of $241,166.

After settling back in a race that didn’t pan out early how most predicted, with Waller’s other runner He’s Your Man leading the way with Prince of Penzance close up in advance of the Gai Waterhouse-trained pair Laidback Larry

and Travolta, Instrumentalist powered to victory with a powerful finish.

The $16 chance launched his run out wide and although he took his time reeling in the leaders, arrived in time to defeat Travolta ($8), who flashed home along the inside, by a short neck.

Top-class jumper Macedonian ($101) thundered home out wide to finish third.

Winning jockey Craig Newitt said Instrumen-

talist’s relaxed nature played a big part in the win.

“All he wanted to do the whole race was just go to sleep and relax,” Newitt said. “When they bunched up down the side, 600 or 700 out, he just kept picking up underneath me.

“He got to the outside, quickened and just sustained it to the line.”

FEATURE PROPERTY

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

Architect-designed beach house an icon CHANCELLOR and Patrick were two of the most celebrated architects of the mid-20th Century. Their contributions includes the halls of residence at both Monash University and La Trobe University, and institutional buildings such as St James Presbyterian Church in Wattle Park and St Johns in East Cheltenham. They were also known for several residential projects, including McCraith House, perhaps better known as the Butterfly House, and St Elmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which is a brilliant modernist example from the two masters of Australian architecture. Literally metres from the famed Butterfly House, St Elmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s takes in glorious 180-degree views of Port Phillip and enjoys a serene position high on the hill overlooking the beaches of Dromana. The home has been renovated but this has been sensitively done, with a range of original features retained. Set on about 844 square metres of land, the property is defined by the powerful connection to the outdoors with vast picture windows and stacked sliding doors providing the perfect conduit to the magical outlook. Dramatic stonework and floor-to-ceiling Tasmanian oak doors lend texture to the timeless design. Spread over three levels, the top floor provides open-plan living and dining, while a full wall of windows afford views spanning the bay. A fabulous retro kitchen has been updated with contemporary stainless steel appliances including a freestanding Smeg oven and cook top, and a dishwasher. From here, sliding doors lead out to a sheltered balcony. Also on this level are main and guest bedrooms with a renovated bathroom and powder room. A second bathroom on the first floor services two more bedrooms, and there is also a light-filled family room. Private seaside gardens complete this perfect location, while a cantilevered carport and return driveway provide parking for six cars.

Hastings, Somerville, Tyabb, Crib Point, Bittern & Balnarring

Here’s a few words from some of our happy January sellers!

We decided to give Sean a go at selling our house based on the fact he was enthusiastic without being false, honest and not annoying!

Both Sean and Dayle kept us informed throughout the whole process and we appreciated the phone calls immediately after each inspection.

This eased all anxiety. Thank you also for keeping our spirits up over the process reassuring us that the sale of our house was a guarantee as you thought our house was something special. We would highly recommend you to any vendor based on your integrity, humor and your ability to get the job done with little fuss.

NOEL & AMY 59 CHURCH STREET, HASTINGS

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Cemetery damaged by fires; blacksmith suffers after close call Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 February 1914 AN extensive bush fire raged during the past week in the neighbourhood of the Tyabb cemetery, and the cemetery itself suffered severely.

The gates and the greater part of the fence were wholly destroyed. The long grass was burnt throughout more than half the area, and in this space all wooden railings. etc. were destroyed.

The cemetery has been in a deplorable condition for years, and the shire secretary has almost completed the task of getting things in order. There is now an excellent opportunity for the cemetery trustees to wisely expend the funds in hand and make this God’s acre less of an abomination of desolation. *** MR C. Ralph, employed by Mr J. Jenkins, blacksmith, Mornington, met with a painful accident caused by a steel spark flying into his eye last week. The foreign body was removed at the Ear and Eye hospital, and Mr Ralph is now doing well. *** THE Frankston Brass Band proceeded to Melbourne on Friday, to take part in the A.N.A. Band competitions.

We expect our boys to give a good account of themselves. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. report having disposed of Mr J. D. Waters’ “Blair Athol” property, at a satisfactory figure, the purchaser being Mr Chas Graves, of Mornington. *** MR Arnold Sullivan, who gained

a first class certificate at the recent teachers’ examinations in Melbourne, was formally a Langwarrin lad and his early education was obtained at Langwarrin and Frankston. He is the fifth son of the gentleman who represented the Defence Department at Langwarrin for many years, and was affectionately known as “Sully the Sarn Major.” *** AN unfortunate accident happened to Ernie Sanderson, son of Mr Geo Sanderson of Mornington on Saturday last whilst driving a lorry in Main street. The unfortunate lad was about to hit the horse when it suddenly plunged, and Sanderson was thrown forward, at the same time the horse kicked and caught him full in the face. He was conveyed to the Melbourne hospital Saturday evening, and an operation performed on Monday when it was found that his injuries were not so serious as was anticipated, and we are pleased to state he is doing as well as can be expected. *** AN exciting story was told in Mornington about an escape by a motor load of picnickers from a sudden onslaught of the fire near Mount Martha on Saturday. It is stated that the car, which contained a number of young men and girl’s, was driven off the main road on to a side track. It had not proceeded far when heavy sand was encountered. The party thereupon decided to have lunch before returning to the main road. The ti-tree scrub was very dense hereabouts. The picnickers had just settled down to

lunch, which had been invitingly laid out by the girl members of the party, when one of them noticed a smell of fire. The north wind which was blowing, suddenly became very hot.

The picnickers jumped up and ran out on to the track. To their horror they

The dams are getting low, and even the little lake in the orchard known as “Ole Johnnies” is now so low that you may catch the gold fish in it.

saw the road along which they had driven a little while previously a sea of flames on either hand, and sweeping across the narrow path. The fire was rapidly approaching them. There was no time to gather up the edibles or trimmings, as it would be difficult enough to save the car. The engine was started, and all hands commenced to push. At first the wheel’s turned

round ineffectively in the sand, and it was not until a number of branches had been torn off the trees and forced under the tyres that the car could be got to move. It had not gone 100 yards when it again stopped, and the procedure had to be repeated. This time, however, it got some way on, and the pushers were left far behind.

The road then improved and the driver waited for the others to catch up. After proceeding for half a mile a large open space, the scene of a fire earlier in the year, was reached, and here the car and party berthed till the fire had died down sufficiently to allow them to retrace their steps back to the main road. The name of the driver of the car was not ascertained. *** THE weather has been very hot and dry, fires have been burning in various parts of the district. One that caused some little anxiety and labor in subduing occurred in Lower Somerville. Mr T. Morrison had some trouble in saving his shed, and Mr Jackson had a hard fight to keep it out of his orchard. *** RAIN continues to hold off, and is likely to do so judging by every indication. Last Monday night, there was a particularly heavy dew, and a lighter one on Tuesday. The dams are getting low, and even the little lake in the orchard known as “Ole Johnnies” is now so low that you may catch the gold fish in it. *** THE first Baptismal services were held by the Rev. C. Eva, church of England Vicar on Sunday at the lo-

cal hall, when a number of parents presented their children to obtain the Blessings of the Almighty. This service on account of being the first public occasion was looked forward to with great interest. *** THE first shipment of timber has arrived in Hann’s Inlet for the preparation of the Naval Base. Great satisfaction is felt on Sir Maurice Fitz Maurice’s report on the Base, as a feeling of discontent has prevailed amongst the local residents, on account of as many men being dismissed. *** FRENCH Island was illuminated by a large bush fire on Tuesday night, making a beautiful sight from the main land. *** THE half yearly general meeting of the “Happy Hour Club” was held at the Tyabb hall on Saturday evening, February 7th. Mr J. Maloney, acting president occupied the chair.

Following the usual procedure, the election of officers took place, with the following result: President, Albert G. Borrowman, Vice President, Mr J. Maloney, Hon. secretary and Treasurer, Mr D. Longmuir. Committee: Messrs G. Gibson, L. Girard, G. Slocombe, H. Unthank and H. Sharples.

Auditors: Messrs R. W. Slocotnhe and A. Lester. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £4 3s 11d. A committee meeting has been arranged to discuss a definite programme, with the result it is hoped, of increasing the membership and popularity of the club.

HISTORY

The Stocktons – pioneers of Tyabb

By Peter McCullough GEOFF Stockton, 77, has lived in the area all his life. He has recorded memories of growing up in Tyabb and they will be published in The News in the near future. First, however, it is appropriate to provide a brief history of the Stockton family or at least the Tyabb branch. *** Part 1 Where did they come from?

Lancashire, England On 2 September 1840, Thomas Stockton married Harriet Mort at Leigh, Lancashire. Harriet, born in 1818, was the third of six children born to James Mort and Ann (nee Manks) who married at Bolton Le Moors in Lancashire on 2 November 1810.

Thomas had been born at Astley, a small village outside Manchester, and was christened there on 16 April 1815. On the birth certificate of his son John Henry, born on 8 September 1854, Thomas’s address was listed as 327 Deansgate, Manchester, and his occupation as “shopkeeper”.

The following year, at age 40, Thomas Stockton left Liverpool on Red Jacket, a full-rigged clipper ship of 1649 tons, arriving in Melbourne on 4 December 1855.

Red Jacket, named after an American Indian chief who had assisted the British forces in the War of Independence, was noted for its speed: in 1854 she completed the Liverpool to Melbourne journey in 69 days compared with 77 days that its main rival, Lightning, took under the infamous Captain Bully Forbes.

Prior to their departure, Harriet Stockton had given birth to six children: Alice, Sarah, Harriet, James, Alfred Manks and John Henry. Two more were born in Australia: Ann and Samuel. Of those born in England, only three – Alice, Alfred Manks and John Henry – lived long enough to make the journey out, and

Australian-born Ann also died in infancy.

Moliagul, Victoria Like many English immigrants, the goldfields of Victoria was an irresistible attraction. For reasons that are unclear, the Stockton family settled in Moliagul. They

established a store and, by the 1860s, advertisements were appearing for “Stockton’s Conveyance”, which provided transport to and from the nearby towns of Dunolly and Inglewood. Thomas Stockton’s “conveyance” was in fact a wagon and was primarily used to obtain produce for his store.

Western Port News 18 February 2014

In 1890 The Dunolly and Bet Bet Shire Express reported on the death of Thomas Stockton on 21 June, aged 75 years: “... he never quite recovered from the effect of an accident he met with at Burkes Flat some two or three years ago, and it is probable the results of this accident had something to do in intensifying the malady from which he suffered.”

From the account in The Express, Thomas Stockton was held in the highest regard; he was described as “... industrious, pushing, energetic”, “... straightforward, honest, upright, outspoken, kind-hearted and cheerful” and “...trusted far and wide”. The newspaper continued: “His genial presence will be missed by all and his cheerful salutation in our streets – and everybody knew him– will be heard no more.”

Toward the end of its report, it stated that Thomas Stockton “...left a grown-up family of three sons and a daughter who are all settled comfortably and doing well; his daughter, Mrs. Leck, residing in Wedderburn, one son in St. Arnaud and two in Melbourne”.

Harriet, the widow of Thomas, continued to live in the area until her death at her daughter’s house in Wedderburn on 5 September 1904.

She was buried in Moliagul.

After Moliagul As mentioned in the obituary in The Express, Thomas and Harriet Stockton had four children who lived to adulthood. The eldest, Alice, was 14 when the family came to Australia. She married Robert Leck who had come to Australia in 1851 and, after visiting several goldrushes, established a business in Moliagul with Mr William Craig. In 1878 the Leck family and business moved to Wedderburn. Robert Leck was active in the local community but in his early 40s, while serving as shire president of Bet Bet Shire, he “... was stricken with a species of polio which later deprived him of his sight,

and ultimately resulted in his death.”

(Wedderburn Chronicle, 12 December 1890.)

Robert Leck died at age 62, leaving a widow, Alice, a son and two daughters. The son, Robert, became an Anglican minister and both daughters married ministers; coarse language would certainly have been frowned on in the Leck household.

In 1892 Alice Leck (nee Stockton) did something that still mystifies the family: she bought 32 acres of land in Graydens Rd, Tyabb. She remained in Wedderburn until her death in 1922 and, as far as can be ascertained, never visited Western Port. However when the rates (one pound for 32 acres) were due in June 1894, they were paid by her brother, Alfred Manks Stockton, who had moved to the property.

Alfred Stockton, born at Astley in England in 1851, had married Elizabeth Annie Woodham at the Congregational Church in Dunolly on 24 November 1873. He initially lived in Inglewood where sons Alfred and Frederick and daughter Annie May were born. Alfred junior died at age 19 in 1894 while living with his aunt Alice in Wedderburn. Alfred Manks later moved to Clifton Hill where he was a saddler. Between 1880 and 1892, four more sons were born – Herbert, Walter, Thomas Samuel and Lesley.

John Henry Stockton was born in England shortly before the family immigrated. He subsequently became a coach builder and was recognised as the first Seventh Day Adventist in Australia. He died on 18 July 1896 at age 42.

Samuel James, the third surviving son of Thomas and Harriet, was born in Australia on 16 July 1862 and died in 1934 at 72. He apparently lived in St Arnaud, married Charlotte Schleiff, and became the father of Cliff, Lillian, Alice and Ruby.

Advertisement in the 1860s: The Stocktons ran a transport company in the goldfields.

HISTORY

Seekers flocked to gold town Moliagul IN 1843, the present site of Moliagul was part of Kingower Run of 73,000 acres, occupied

by William Morrison Hunter, and licensed to carry 16,000 sheep.

Gold was discovered at Queen’s Gully in Moliagul in September 1852 by miners travelling south from Wedderburn. This was the first goldrush to occur in Dunolly district.

Within a few weeks, a store, blacksmith’s shop and butcher shop had been opened.

In January 1853 the first Police and Gold Commissioner’s Camp was set up at Commissioner’s Gully, Moliagul, with William Temple the Gold Commissioner. His duties were to issue gold licences, collect gold for escort to Melbourne, and administer the goldfields.

During July 1854, parcels of gold consisting of 577 ounces, 385 ounces and 762 ounces were sent to Melbourne; a journey of 10 days.

The Sandy Creek goldrush saw the nascent settlement almost deserted but a new rush occurred in July 1855 when gold was found at Little Hill. In the area known as Inkerman, shops and saloons lined the track to Moliagul for almost a mile and the population peaked at 16,000.

On 10 August 1858, 2000 diggers arrived at Moliagul when nuggets weighing 25, 28, 32, 35, 61, 65 and a whopping 440 ounces were discovered in Spark’s Gully, Bigg’s Gully and Clodhopper Gully by Chinese miners.

During November 1862, William Nutt & Company of Mt Moliagul crushed 11 tons of quartz from Queen’s Reef for a yield of 51 ounces. When offered 79 shillings an ounce for the gold at Bealiba, they declined as they could obtain 80 shillings at a Dunolly bank.

The Sheoak Goldmining Company was formed in 1879, and started work tunnelling into Sheoak Hill on Mt Moliagul. Owing to the very hard rock and high cost of work involved, the venture was eventually abandoned.

Moliagul township was surveyed in 1859 by Henry Morres. The site chosen by the government was on the hill to the east of the present main street.

People who had built premises near the creek refused township sites on the hill when they were offered for sale.

In 1862 Phillip Chauncey was appointed surveyor in Dunolly district and offered the preferred sites in Moliagul for sale. The first land sale was held in Dunolly Court House on 5 and 6 September 1862.

Today Moliagul is almost a ghost town with only a few houses near the old Mt Moliagul Hotel, which closed in 1963.

Permanent monuments mark two significant events in the history of the little town.

On 5 February 1869 the fabulous “Welcome Stranger” nugget was discovered at Bulldog Gully near Moliagul by two Cornish miners, John Deason and Richard Oates.

This was the largest gold nugget found in Victoria, and claimed to be the biggest in the world.

It was taken to Dunolly in a dray, and sold at the London Chartered Bank. Owing to its size, the nugget had to be taken to the local blacksmith where it was placed on the anvil and reduced to a number of smaller pieces before it could be placed on the bank’s large gold scales. The gross weight of the nugget was 2520 ounces and it was sold for 9553 pounds.

In 1897 the Victorian Mines Department erected a granite obelisk on the spot where the nugget was found.

More recently, in 1956, the John Flynn monument was erected opposite the site where the Reverend John Flynn, founder of the Inland Mission and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, was born in 1880. Local stone from old mine workings, Mt Moliagul and pioneer chimneys was used in its construction. Pieces of pink marble and a piece of red sandstone from Central Australia are included in the memorial.

The Reverend Flynn’s father, Thomas Flynn, was the first teacher at the local state school when it opened in 1872; although it closed in 1970, it is still standing.

Next week: Part 2: the Stocktons in Tyabb.

Earlier era: Clockwise from above, Anglican Church of St Michael and the Angels at Moliagul; Welcome Stranger gold nugget monument; Moliagul School opened in 1872; and Mt Moliagul Hotel in 1910.

Blogging: the sport of dunces

By Stuart McCullough IT is not by accident that the term “blogging” sounds like a human ablution. The results, it must be said, are often startling similar. Keeping a diary is one thing, deciding to share your thoughts in a wholly unfettered, completely unfiltered manner is something best done in power ballad form and not on the internet where other people might actually read it. Frankly, if the excesses of blogging cannot be curbed, then it’s high time we considered abandoning the internet altogether and made the move back to carrier pigeons and telex machines.

Previously, technology had what I call inbuilt limits. You had to confine yourself in terms of your message for fear that a pigeon, if overburdened, might plunge into the ocean and leave your missive undelivered. Ramble on too much and your telex message could easily take several days to deliver and result in a phone bill that looked more like the Gross Domestic Product of a medium-sized South American country. Probably Peru.

But now the need to curtail personal excess has been dispensed with and oversharing is the order of the day.

No thought, no matter how trivial, should be allowed to go unpublished.

Granted, there are those who might argue some platforms for what I refer to as “projectile thought vomiting” by their nature impose brevity. No doubt, such brave souls would nominate Twitter and its 140 characters

PAGE 50

as a glistening beacon of restraint.

Those people are wrong. There’s not much point in limiting the number of characters if you don’t also limit the number of tweets.

If users were, say, restricted to sending one message a day, its supporters would have a point. That, sadly, is not the case. Instead, hoards of useless tweets clog up the atmosphere and threaten to block out the sun, thus extinguishing life as we know it.

Truth be told, a lot of pretty stupid thoughts pass between my ears on a

Western Port News 18 February 2014

daily basis. Can you use sour cream as a substitute for milk in coffee?

Is there any risk that gravity might one day start to wear out, enabling us to fly? Would a newly released Schapelle Corby make a decent midfield coach for the Melbourne Football Club?

For the most part, I have the good sense to keep these random ideas very much to myself lest I should seem to the world at large to be a complete idiot. But blogging, in its various incarnations, encourages people to

abandon self-censorship in pursuit of content, no matter how useless.

Where does the term blogging come from anyway? It’s not like the Earl of Blog decided one night to jump on his laptop during a break in a poker game to share whatever was on his mind. Nor was it found at the bottom of a Petri dish along with a small colony of mould. It must be said, there’s something about the name that just seems wrong. Blogging does not sound like an online diary. Rather, it’s the sound that gumboots make when walking through deep mud in the back paddock. Indeed, as a kid, I would be required to give my boots a wash after blogging up near the chook shed. Back then, blogging was a danger to the carpet but not much else.

Perhaps I’m lucky. It would have been disastrous had my every thought appeared on the internet when I was in high school. There’s a very real chance that I would still be repeating Year 9 were that the case. Then again, what I did back then may be a thousand times worse. Rather than blog or keep a diary, I poured my thoughts into songs. Worse still, I decided that the best way to communicate these pieces of emotional spillage was to sing them myself. That I had a voice I’d now describe as “disturbed funk walrus” made things even worse.

But being a terrible singer with not very good songs had its upside.

It meant there was an inbuilt limit to how much I embarrassed myself.

Just like a carrier pigeon or telex machine can act as a restraint, so too did my natural lack of ability. When I performed, it was usually just to the guy behind the bar being paid $12 an hour. Before then, nobody knew what the singular for “audience” was.

Somewhere between finishing my set and wondering whether there was any point in performing an encore, I decided it was probably “audient”.

When singing your heart out to an audient, there’s little doubt as to who heckled you partway through the second verse. On reflection, I wasn’t singing, I was blogging.

Perhaps I’m just jealous. Maybe I find it difficult to comprehend that something I happen to judge as not being worth very much manages to find so extensive an audience almost in spite of itself.

The abandonment of intellectual rigour, to say nothing of conventional grammar – it’s all a little confronting. But that’s okay. Blogging, in one form or another, is one of those human activities to which people are irresistibly drawn – like yawning or picking your nose, it’s is simply a part of life.

It may be no bad thing. If nothing else, tapping out your thoughts and posting them in cyberspace may still be a whole lot better than the caterwauling of a funk walrus, performing his self-penned song cycle to an audient in an otherwise empty bar. Blog away. It could be worse. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Baxter in with strong finals chance PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER is in line to pull-off one of the wins of the season in round 10 of MPCA Provincial cricket.

Baxter is looking down the barrel of an outright win against Heatherhill after rolling the visitors for just 85.

Coming into the second-last match of the season, Baxter was sitting outside of the top four, albeit equal on points with third-placed Mt Eliza, fourth-placed Langwarrin and sixthplaced Long Island.

The loser of the Langwarrin versus Long Island game can kiss the finals goodbye.

Mt Eliza was always going to get the job done against Moorooduc and, while Baxter was favourite to beat the Hills, they needed to do it convincingly to improve their

percentage.

On Saturday, it was Marc Uccello who did the damage for Baxter.

Opening bowlers Adrian Mack and Dale Irving took early wickets to have the Hills 2/3. However, it was Uccello’s 6/30 from 16 overs that placed Baxter in a sensational position.

Kristian Miller was the only Hills player to offer any resistance, top scoring with 26.

Baxter then batted for 26 overs and clubbed 3/133 before declaring, Shane McComb scoring 59 and Daniel Warwick an unbeaten 51.

With nine overs left in the day, Baxter decided to have another crack at the Hills. Dale Irving promptly claimed a wicket, to have the Hills at 1/17 heading into day two.

An outright win will guarantee Baxter a place in the finals.

Langwarrin will resume at 1/14 this Saturday after bowling out Long Island for just 141.

For the second week in succession, the Kangas had the opposition in all kinds of trouble before a partnership threatened to take the match away from them.

Against Crib Point, the Kangas had them five down for less than 50, only to see them score 190-odd and win the game.

On Saturday against the Islanders, the Kangas had the opposition 6/78, only to let them score another 63 runs. Michael Chaplin was the difference for the Islanders with 43.

Mal Coutts was the best of the Langwarrin bowlers with 3/26 from 20.5 overs while Dwayne Doig claimed 3/34.

Needing to face the last nine overs of the day, like the last match, David

Ross couldn’t bat through to stumps, dismissed leg-before off the bowling of Scott Phillips for a duck.

Langwarrin does have Phillipsphobia and this could see the Islanders defend their modest total.

Langwarrin will resume at 1/14.

The other team in the finals equation, Mt Eliza, will defend 265 against Moorooduc.

Tristian Faithful scored 80 and Rob Maskiell 45 for the Mounties while Sushant Gupta and Greg Pullen each claimed three wickets for the Ducs.

Having to face the last three overs of the day, the Ducs survived and will resume at 0/8.

In the battle to avoid relegation, Mt Martha and Rye are locked in an intriguing battle, with the Demons holding the upper hand.

Mt Martha batted first on their home deck but could only manage 99.

Darren Groves was superb for the Demons with 4/16, while Tom Barrand claimed 3/19.

In reply, the Demons are 3/67, Andrew Hitchener top scoring with 29.

The Demons just need to bat for the entire day this Saturday to claim the win. The Reds will be hoping they can pull off a reverse outright.

Sorrento star Nick Jewell belted a magnificent 185 against Crib Point on Saturday to help his side to 4/330.

Liam O’Connor was there for much of Jewell’s innings, scoring 69.

In the final game, Mornington shouldn’t have any trouble tracking down Peninsula Old Boys’ 171.

Matt Foon (3/30), Michael Heib (3/40) and Matt Foon (3/30) were the best of the Doggies’ bowlers while Dylan O’Malley top scored for the Old Boys with 74.

Parkers deal a massive blow DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOP-of-the-table Delacombe Park dealt third-placed Somerville a massive blow just three weeks out from MPCA District finals.

Playing on the small surrounds of Delacombe Park, the Eagles batted first and were humiliated.

At one stage early in their innings, the Eagles were reduced to 3/6. They then stumbled 6/35 before being dismissed for just 78 in 53.3 overs.

Sam Delaney scored more than half his team’s runs with 43. No other Somerville player scored double figures. The next best was Jack Barbour with nine runs. There were three ducks.

Chris Brittain snared 4/18 while Simon Dignan and Shane Deal each claimed two wickets.

In reply, the Parkers are cruising at 1/69, Nick Christides unbeaten on 60.

Pines will be looking for an outright win against Ballam Park and at the same time sure up a toptwo spot on the ladder.

On Saturday, the Piners batted for just 33 overs before declaring their innings at 4/123.

Harley Peace-Stirling top scored with an unbeaten 39 and Brett Hudgson was not out 32 when the Piners declared.

Unfortunately for the Knights, they couldn’t survive the remainder of the day, bowled out in the last over for just 91.

No doubt the Knights will be sent back in this week before Pines tries to knock the runs over late in the day.

Carrum will be doing everything it can to avoid a disaster this week against Baden Powell.

The Braves made 222 batting first, with Josh Waldron top scoring with 83 and Sam Mullavey reaching 39.

Brett Moulton was the best of Carrum’s bowlers with 4/70, while Shaun Foster picked up 3/8.

In reply, the home side capitulated to be 4/17 at stumps. Nathan Rice took 3/5 for the Braves.

Main Ridge is in the box seat for a

big win against Hastings.

A game outside the top four, the Ridge needs to win this match outright and hope that Seaford Tigers drop their game against Seaford this week, or their final game of the season against Pines.

The Ridge plays Ballam Park in the final game of the season. Pity for them it is a one dayer.

In this match, the Ridge bowled Hastings out for 132, with Scott Millar taking 6/50. In reply, Main Ridge is 1/92, Nick Gage unbeaten on 54.

Seaford Tigers look certain to win their match in the local derby against Seaford.

The Tigers bowled out their neighbour for just 172, Ash Mills

claiming 4/28. Damien Lawrence played a sensational lone-hand for Seaford with 75.

In reply, the Tigers are 0/12.

In the final game, Boneo looks set to claim the points over Flinders.

Spencer Byatt top scored for the home team with 63 off 124 balls while Chris Jobling hit 44 of 66, including four sixes and two fours.

Despite not batting the entire 80 overs, Boneo made 208. Dwayne Field was the pick of the Flinders’ bowlers with 4/53.

In reply, Flinders is in some early trouble at 3/29. Jack Fowler bowled five of the final nine overs and finished with all three wicket while conceding 12 runs.

See you later: Somerville batted first against Delacombe Park and were humiliated. Picture: Andrew Hurst Western Port News 18 February 2014

By IT Gully SKYE’S season looks all but over in MPCA Sub District cricket. Playing against Balnarring, Skye bowled first and could only restrict the opposition to 270.

Leigh Smith was great with the ball, taking 5/70 for Skye, while Mark Walles was the best with the bat for Balnarring, scoring 77.

Brenton Taylor shared a 145-run partnership with Walles, reaching 73.

With 16 overs left to face on day, Skye lost 2/18 and will have to pull off a miracle this week to reel in the Balnarring total.

The Stonecats are one of four teams pushing for a spot in the top bracket and need to try and get an outright win in this match.

They did the job with the bat, scoring 8/308 before declaring. Some might think they declared a little late.

Rob Bedford top scored with 51, Jack Greenwood hit 48, Jason Bedford 45 and Paul Bradley 44.

Chamara Perera was the pick of the Carrum Downs’ bowlers with 4/96.

In reply, the Cougars are 1/42.

Red Hill will try to defend 9/227 against Dromana.

Luke Toy top scored for the Hillmen with an unbeaten 61, while Rheede Hopgood (37) and Jamie McCall (30) contributed well to

the scoreboard.

At one stage, the Hoppers had the Hillmen reeling at 3/37 and with Simon Dart back in the sheds.

Rosebud and Tootgarook are locked in a super battle.

With a win almost guaranteeing a place in the finals, this game is going to go down to the wire.

The Buds batted first on Saturday and managed 6/255. At one stage they were 3/37. Darren Kerr top scored with 67, Matty Maher hit 57 and Peter Doughty 55. Zac Stevenson and Matt Whelan each claimed two wickets.

The Tooters are going to have to produce something very special with the bat this week to win this one.

All junior sides playing finals HASTINGS CC

By Greg Bradshaw WITH Round 9 the last of the junior teams’ regular season, all sides are well-placed in final fours and set to play semi-finals this weekend.

Under-16s played Pearcedale in a T20 match to finish the season.

Hastings chose to bat, lost two wickets early and was 2/34 before Aaron King and Sean Hewitt put together an exciting 77-run partnership in just 10 overs. Hewitt was run out for 30 before Mason Mail contributed a quick 20, and Hastings reached 5/145 with King finishing 51no.

Pearcedale lost three quick wickets, 3/23, which put it well behind the run rate before a late flurry of scoring saw the team reach 6/77. Hewitt took 2/12, King 1/11, Mail 1/10, Andrew Jeffs 1/6 and Brodie Prestage 1/19.

The win saw the team finish in top spot and it will play Sorrento in this weekend’s semi-final at Hastings at 10am.

Under-14s were sitting on top of the ladder and played second-placed Balnarring. Hastings batted first, losing the two openers with the score on 3. Shelby Lothian-Burdett then belted 33ret off only 14 balls, Ryan McNamara 30ret off 36 balls and Alex Walters 32ret off 21 balls, which took the score to 2/132 after 17 overs.

The next three batsmen kept the runs flowing to take the final score to 3/155 off 20 overs. Balnarring knew it had to score quickly but, as happens

Main game: Main Ridge are in the box seat with Hastings all out for 132.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

in big run chases, wickets fell at regular intervals and team lost the momentum needed to win. Hastings bowled well in an entertaining chase as Balnarring finished with 7/103.

Thomas Finn took 2/13, Corbin Overton 1/4, Walters 1/15, Jackson Coles 1/10 and McNamara 1/11.

The win sets up a return match with Balnarring, which finished in fourth place, on Sunday at Hastings at 10am.

Under-12s played Mornington, third versus fourth. Hastings batted first and had a reasonable start, 2/22, but wickets then fell quickly and team was bowled out for 61 off 19 overs.

Only Thomas Finn (13no) and Devlin Webb (11) reached double figures. The team bowled tidily without taking wickets early but then ran through the middle order, 5/60.

Mornington steadied and won after reaching 6/104. Hastings dropped a place and will play undefeated Peninsula Old Boys in the semi-final.

It is a fantastic effort for all junior teams to make semi-finals. Supporters can watch the future of Hastings Cricket Club in action on Sunday at home.

Under-10s played Peninsula Old Boys on Friday night with Hastings scoring 6/68 and Kannon Donnelly making 10ret, Devlin Webb 9ret and Kade Seymour 16. POB replied with 7/42 with Lachlan Mitchell taking 3/7. The side’s final match is this weekend on Friday at Hastings.

Fourths travelled to Boneo in a must-win game to stay in the top four. Boneo batted first, amassing a competitive 199 off 38 overs. Pick of the bowlers was Andrew Finn, 6/35 off 9 overs, and Kayne Lewis took 3/28 off 10 overs and Stephen Lewis 1/42 off 10.

Hastings lost two early wickets, 2/45, before Stuart Burrows (42) and Morgan Darrer (17) made a stand before the side lost its way and collapsed to 6/92, then 9/141, which included a good 31 from Chris Marsh.

The last wicket pair of Finn and Matt Sawosz turned the game on its head as they belted 65 runs in only six overs to get Hastings over the line. Finn finished with 50no and Sawosz 12no.

Man of the match: Andrew Finn.

Top-of-the-table Thirds played Seaford Tigers for the second time this season with a patched up team.

For only the second time in the season, Hastings was asked to bat first. Last week’s century-maker Scott Williams fell cheaply before Lachie Trench (25) and Geoff Assaw (24) added 47 runs.

Wickets then fell like nine pins as Hastings collapsed to 9/115. Last pair Sean Hewitt (26no) and Stephen Thomson (29) then belted 50 runs off 8 overs to take the score to 165. The Tigers batsmen came out swinging and raced to 3/81 off 16 overs at stumps with Chris Helweg taking 2/6.

Seconds travelled to take on second-placed Main Ridge. Chris White won the toss and sent the home team in to bat and 80 overs later Main Ridge was 9/549.

It didn’t matter what was bowled, the ball just kept getting hit to the boundary – 68 times to be exact and 12 times over the rope. All bowlers tried hard with Brett Stickland taking 3/61 and Nick Guest 2/106.

Firsts were again dismal with the bat, all out for 132 with last pair Tim Birch (37) and Issy Dias (18no) putting on 52 to save complete embarrassment. Luke Hewitt (24) and Ben King (15) failed to convert starts into big scores. The Main Ridge batsmen then smashed 1/92 off 21 overs and have victory in sight. Ben Johnson was best of the bowlers, taking 1/8 off 6 overs including 4 maidens.
