Asylum seekers find new voice Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON will host a debate on Australia’s deeply divisive treatment of asylum seekers, with respected refugee advocate and best-selling author Najaf Mazari to deliver a keynote address this month. The forum, which will take place on Sunday 26 October at Padua College’s Mornington campus, is being presented by community advocacy group Peninsula Voice, which recently hosted the

highly successful domestic violence forum featuring Rosie Batty and police chief Ken Lay. The upcoming event aims to dispel the myths surrounding asylum seekers and present a human face to refugees in light of the polarising political debate that has led to Australia’s increasingly inhumane treatment of “boat people�. The forum will also feature a candid videotaped interview with respected human rights lawyer Julian Burnside, who describes the journey detailed in Najaf Mazari’s book, The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif, as “the
story of all refugees�. Najaf was tortured and escaped certain death after fleeing from Northern Afghanistan in 2001 during the Taliban genocide of Hazara men. He was chosen by village elders as the man most likely to succeed in making the dangerous journey to a safe country and therefor carry on the cultural history of the village. To fulfil his mission, he was forced to leave his wife and six-month-old daughter behind. But after fleeing overland to Pakistan, then to Indonesia and finally by

boat to the supposed “Lucky Country�, Najaf discovered not freedom but rather the brutal dehumanising hell of Australia’s punitive asylum seeker system from within the notorious Woomera detention centre. Like the vast majority of so-called “illegals� subjected to the trauma of indefinite detention, Najaf’s claim for asylum was found to be valid. He was granted Australian citizenship in 2007 and eventually settled in Melbourne where he wrote his story, which was the first full book-length account of an asylum seeker’s journey.

Native paradise
GARDEN lovers can enjoy one of the region’s most renowned private native gardens this weekend, while helping raise money for poor African children. Mt Martha couple Cate and John Jaede will open their native garden at 38 Ellerina Rd to the general public next Saturday and Sunday. The Jaedes’ expansive garden features hundreds of Australian native plants, complete with rocky creek and pond, and is a favourite destination for birds and butterflies. Richard Anderson of Merricks Nursery will also be on hand share his extensive knowledge of Australian plants at the event. The opening has been organised to help raise funds for Mrs Jaede’s volunteer efforts in Africa with Kwaya Uganda. She visited Uganda this year and is now planning to return next year to help with the projects in an orphanage and a school in the slums, as well as working with The African Childrens Choir. The garden is open on 25-26 October from 10am-4pm. Light refreshments available. Picture: Yanni
Residents plead for police to stay THE anticipated deployment of muchneeded police from Rosebud to the new station at Somerville has “outraged” local residents, the organiser of a public meeting to protest the moves says. Resident Barry Irving will be joined by Police Association secretary Ron Iddles and his deputy, Bruce McKenzie, speaking at the meeting at 7pm, Wednesday 29 October, at the Rosebud Memorial Hall. He expects a big crowd to attend. “Residents and business owners in the Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Droma-
na areas are outraged that 30 specialist police officers may be removed from stations in their towns to work out of the new Somerville station more than 40 kilometres away,” he said. He worries that the police will be from front-line units including highway patrol, criminal investigation and crime scene. “Locals are concerned that there are barely enough police officers to patrol and respond to calls for police service as it is, a problem which always gets worse during the summer months when holidaymakers swell the population
here to more than 200,000. These police officers provide a very important investigative and road trauma prevention role which will be lost to us if the proposed move goes ahead. “General duties police will also lose their important back-up response from these specialist units at busy times.” Peninsula Police Command last week would not specify which, or how many, police would be moved to Somerville. “Victoria Police is currently undertaking an organisational review involving several work units in Southern Metro
Region Division 4 (Frankston and Mornington Peninsula PSAs),” superintendent Neil Paterson said. “I am unable to pre-empt the outcome of the review as it is not finalised and necessarily involves consultation with staff and unions as required by the current enterprise agreement.” Police Association secretary Ron Iddles described the positioning of the new Somerville police station as a “political decision not based on demographics or population growth”.

ROSEBUD police intercepted a Mitsubishi Lancer in Point Nepean Rd, Dromana at 3.30am on Monday 6 October. During a search of the vehicle, police allege they located a quantity of the drug ice, as well as a number of weapons, including a meat cleaver and a fold-out knife. As a result, three men have been charged with drug possession and weapons offences. A 37-year-old from Frankston North has been bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrate’s Court on 26 February; a 25-year-old from Mt Waverley has been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrate’s Court on 19 January, and a 38-yearold from Sandhurst has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrate’s Court on 13 January. In another incident, a 22-year-old man from Safety Beach was charged with drug trafficking and related offences after Rosebud police intercepted a vehicle in Point Nepean Rd, Dromana at 3.25am on Tuesday 7 October. Police allege a search of the vehicle revealed the drug ice and a number of items causing them to believe that the driver was trafficking the drug. After the man was arrested and interviewed, a search warrant was executed at an address in Safety Beach. It revealed further evidence of trafficking ice. Police also allegedly discovered a small amount of cannabis and some cannabis seedlings growing in a bedroom. The man was bailed to appear at the Dromana Magistrate’s Court on 12 March. He was placed on a curfew to remain at his place of abode between 9pm and 6am daily.

MORE than 100 pink ladies and one blue man covered part of the garden at The Bays Hospital, Mornington, on Monday to raise awareness of Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The “mini-filed of women” silhouettes were gone by day’s end but will be back next Monday, 20 October, signifying Breast Cancer Awareness Day. In the meantime, the pink ladies and one blue man will have been displayed in planter boxes outside the Grand Hotel, Mornington, during Sunday’s annual wine and food festival. “The one blue man among so many pink ladies indicates the numerical difference between how many men get breast cancer compared to women,”

former Mornington Peninsula citizen of the year Jo Lovelock said. A midwife, Ms Lovelock, of Mt Martha, is also a McGrath Breast Care Nurse. She anyone affected by breast cancer could write tributes or notes and attach them to the silhouettes. “Every day 41 Australian women learn they have breast cancer and seven lose their lives to the disease,” Ms Lovelock said. “Each time a woman hears she has breast cancer, those around her in the community are also affected. Support for women and families affected by breast cancer are an important issue in our local community.”
Breast Cancer Network Australia’s CEO Maxine Morand, a breast cancer survivor, said the event is a powerful reminder that “you are not alone on your breast cancer journey”. “This October, around 300 minifields of women events are being held in local communities right across Australia. We hope people participating will find the event moving and enjoy it as a celebration of life.” “Although breast cancer care and knowledge has come a long way, women are still being diagnosed every single day that need our help and support. Breast cancer is an issue close to many women and affects our community.”
Women tear strips off for charity snaps THE Dromana Dee’s have posed for a racy calendar to raise money for the Oncology Day Unit at Rosebud Hospital. The tight knit group of 13 ladies - all over the age of 50 - posed for a series of photos on Dromana beach. Group founder Heather Smethurst said they “had a ball” taking the photos. “We took them on the beach in winter – it was freezing,” she laughed. “We figured there would be less people on the beach then but we still had to duck for cover when people walked past.” Ms Smethurst said the Dromana Dee’s like to have fun and do a bit of good for the local community. “We chose to donate the proceeds of our calendar to the Rosebud Hospital Oncology day unit because it is something that is close to our hearts,” she said. Cancer is the leading cause of death in Victoria. It is estimated that cancer diagnosis will increase by a staggering 60 per cent over the next 10 years. Rosebud Hospital performed more than 1700 treatments last year in the Oncology Day Unit. Calendars are $15 with all proceeds going to the Rosebud Hospital Oncology day unit. The ladies will launch their calendar at 7.30pm Friday at The Peninsula Club, Dromana. To pre-order call 0400 850 043.

Chisholm upgrade on course Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON’S Chisholm TAFE is set to become a premier tertiary training centre – no matter who wins next month’s state election. Premier Denis Napthine dropped in to Frankston last week to announce a $45.5 million redevelopment of the Chisholm institute. Chisholm Institute CEO Maria Peters, Dr Napthine and Higher Education and Skills Minister Nick Wakeling unveiled a joint plan to redevelop the Frankston campus to include an advanced manufacturing and trades training base, and a new centre for health and community services. Chisholm will contribute $23.6m to the redevelopment, while the state government has pledged $21.9m. Ms Peters confirmed the state’s $21.9m contribution would be fully allocated in any incoming government’s budget, whether that be a Liberal National Coalition or Labor state government. She told The News that discussions with the state government and Major Projects Victoria had begun about 18 months ago. “It was identified that Frankston needed development,” Ms Peters said. “It’s very exciting for the people of our region.” Ms Peters said a bachelor of engineering technology degree would be offered at Frankston Chisholm for the first time as a result of the planned new Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Trades, which will be built onsite.
The near $22m government investment would be used to “kick start” the project, Ms Peters said. She envisaged a “two-year build” once construction began, with a Centre for Health and Community Services, VET, and tertiary studies planned for the campus redevelopment. A “conceptual” plan of the revamp of Chisholm’s three Frankston buildings was displayed when Premier Napthine visited the campus. Ms Peters said there would be “evolving developing stages”, with further planning to take place over the next 12 months. The CEO said he was confident Chisholm Frankston could finance future stages in the campus redevelopment in conjunction with “funding available at that time”. A statement issued by the Premier and Mr Wakeling stated: “The new facilities at Chisholm are strategically located, with 60 per cent of Victoria’s automotive supply chain companies located in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs. This project will enable Chisholm Institute to cater for automotive workers who want to transition to new jobs in the advanced manufacturing and trades industries.” The financial support for Chisholm’s Frankston campus comes two years after the Coalition state government, under then premier Ted Baillieu, stripped about $30m a year from Chisholm TAFE’s budget as part of $300m annual TAFE sector funding cut across Victoria. “It’s been a challenge and we adjusted our business model,” Ms Peters
said. “We’ve managed to maintain the quality of our product.” She praised staff for their professionalism in ensuring the Frankston campus maintained its high education standards. Mr Wakeling’s statement blamed the previous Labor state government for the TAFE sector’s woes, citing “a botched introduction of the open market by Labor in 2008.” In August, opposition spokesman for
skills and apprenticeships Steve Herbert said many Victorian TAFE providers faced “a bleak future”. “Students have seen a drop of over $100m in state government operational funding to TAFE, as well as massive fee hikes, large-scale staff sackings, and the outsourcing of teaching.” Many TAFES suffered losses last financial year but Chisholm Frankston reported a net surplus of $30.6m.

Fire warning a sign of future DIGITAL technology is being rolled out to provide up-to-date information on fire risk in Moorooduc. Member for Mornington David Morris said Moorooduc’s new automated fire danger rating (AFDR) sign, on Peninsula Link near Eramosa Road is one of 20 new signs to be rolled out across the state as part of the Victorian Coalition Government’s $2.86 million investment to make Victoria fire ready. “The new digital sign will display the fire danger rating, and provides the local community with the latest ratings forecast on how dangerous a fire would be if one started. It will be automatically updated from the CFA website as conditions change,” Mr Morris said. Victoria has led the way with this technology, becoming the first Australian state to roll it out. “These new signs will bring the total number of AFDR signs to 85, and provide Victorians with another way to access information they need to make informed decisions about their own safety. “The sign can also display an alert message
that lets drivers know about changing conditions, Mr Morris said. Minister for Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells said that this is another example of how the Napthine Government is building a safer and fire ready Victoria. The Coalition Government delivered the initial rollout of 65 automated fire danger rating signs in time for the last fire season which has provided an increase to community safety in rural and regional Victoria. “While these signs are a highly visible way to get the latest Fire Danger Rating information, residents living in Moorooduc should ensure they continue to seek fire information from a variety of sources,” Mr Wells said. The automated system is in addition to 350 static fire danger rating signs that CFA brigades manually update every day during the summer fire season. Installation of the new signs is near completion, with all signage operational by 1 November.

A new voice for asylum seekers
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 36 of the Health Services Act 1988, that the Annual General Meeting of Peninsula Health will be held on
Continued from Page 1
Despite the unnecessary hardships inflicted by his adopted land, Najaf describes Australia as “a land that I love in the way a man loves a friend who saved his life”. He says he continually wonders why he has been so lucky and “chosen to prosper”. “Why did my troubles catch the eye of God?” he asks. Peninsula Voice chairman said the event aimed to provide an uplifting experience in which attendees would be able to meet “a truly inspirational character” who provided “a different way to look at the position of the refugee”. “Peninsula Voice is presenting this forum to demonstrate how many asylum seekers can, and do make a valuable contribution to Australia,” Mr Orton said. “It’s also an effort to provide some balance in the rhetoric used when referring to asylum seekers into Australia. The 2013 election was the first time in our political history when both sides of politics sought to gain political advantage, by promising cruelty to a particular group of individuals. We believe this should never happen in a wealthy country like Australia.” He said both major political parties were fighting to demonstrate who could most effectively deny asylum seekers’ from ever reaching Australia. “‘We will stop the boats’ is the catchcry used to demonstrate who can be the most-cruel.” “Language such as ‘queue jumpers’, ‘illegals’ and ‘economic migrants’ is used to identify asylum seekers as somehow breaking the law and therefore should be treated as criminals and punished,” Mr Orton said, adding that 99 per cent of asylum seekers ended up having their claims upheld and being accepted as genuine refugees “The term ‘queue jumpers’, if anyone cares to look at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website today, looking for the address of the Australian Embassy in Afghanistan, you will be advised the address is not available for security reasons.

much of a queue if is not available. It is also pretty hard to wait in a queue, when you are running for your life,” Mr Orton said. “As for the term ‘illegals’ - how is it breaking the law to seek asylum from persecution?” He said the number of asylum seekers seeking to come to Australia was small by any measure. “It is miniscule by international standards and by our demographic standard; the largest number of refugees to come to Australia by boat in any one year, in the last 30 years, was 25,000,” Mr Orton said. “By comparison, we accept 200,000 permanent migrants each year and there are umpteen thousand 457 visa holders coming to Australia each year. We are currently accepting 13,000 refugees, a number which is tiny compared with other developed countries around the world. “Worse still, we are expecting countries like Nauru to accept a couple of thousand refugees, a number which would represent a 20 per cent increase in their population. Why are we acting like the bully in the region? Why is it so hard for us to accept such a small number of refugees as a percentage of our population?”
He said the cost of Australia’s “cruelty campaign” against refugees was also disturbing, especially in light of the current economic climate where cut backs are being implemented in basic services. “$4.5 billion dollars each year to be cruel to refugees? What a dreadful waste of money, money which could be used for a positive outcome,” he said. “I suspect we will look back at this period of our history and say, what possessed us to have accepted to be led so badly. “What has changed? Australia was a lot more welcoming of asylum seekers prior to 2009. Why are we less inclined to provide safe refuge for those fleeing persecution now? We have opened our boarders many times before over the last 50 years to welcome those in need. Strangely, we are now wealthier, but less inclined to help the most vulnerable.” The forum is on at 2.30pm on Sunday 26 October at Ursula Frayne Hall, Padua College, Oakbank Rd, Mornington.

All aboard the journey to another age THE sight and sound of steam locomotives has a visceral effect on gentlemen and ladies of a certain age – and, it seems, on children of all ages. Witness the effect of loco K163, once a derelict decoration in a Frankston park, now in gleaming working order, hissing and huffing as it gently nudges up to equally glorious restored carriages at Moorooduc railway station. These things have souls, surely! And surely that short, sharp warning is emanating from a five-chime Lunkenheimer steam whistle, causing tiny startled leaps among passengers waiting to board on a recent Sunday morning? Men in uniform fuss around the gasping loco, like bees around their
queen. We are gathered to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the first train to run on the Mornington line – and the 30th anniversary of the arduous battle to save the loco and the line. Mornington was part of the railway frenzy of Gold Rush Victoria, when a line was built to every electorate. After a few hiccups, the line was declared closed to traffic on 8 March 1983. All aboard to the ringing of a bell. The flag is waved. The train lurches into life with complaining creaks and squeaks. This is how a real train sounds. Then off to Mornington, clickettyclicking just as the first train in 1889 would have done and as Melbourne suburban lines used to, past grazing
stock in manicured paddocks at a leisurely pace, warning with a wavering hoot as we approached roads, mutual vigorous waving from carriage to car, a woman wiping a cinder from her eye then closing the train window. Some 20 minutes later, we’re there. Everybody’s out and rushing to watch as the loco is shunted from stem to stern for the trip back. Applause as the coupling occurs with the merest click. The Mornington Railway Preservation Society (morningtonrailway.org. au) has achieved mightily in its 30 years. It has moved several times – from Frankston to HMAS Cerberus (they had spare a siding), then to its Moorooduc home – with rolling stock, the formidable K173 and assorted
buffers and bogeys. Moving a fridge is tough enough: a steam locomotive? They have built a station, moved and installed a footbridge, renovated the “road” with line and sleeper, and now are laying more line, to Baxter. (Is that lad rather young to be driving this 63-tonne behemoth?) Look across from the Moorooduc platform, where CWA ladies are offering passengers delightfully old-fashioned freshly cooked biscuits and slices, to the second steam loco, the carriages and wagons awaiting restoration, to the big old diesel loco, engine drumming, awaiting its turn to perform.

decades ago. What fun! The spur line to the Cadbury factory’s station was at the top of a testing incline for a train arriving in the morning loaded with workers. Some naughty boys greased the track one morning. The train puffed furiously but failed to make the grade in several attempts. Smirking, the naughty boys, with an unassailable excuse for being late to class, walked down the hill past the surly workers walking up. Note to wannabe train drivers: you can take steam or diesel for a spin, after suitable, er, training. A perfect gift for the boy turning 50 who’d like to take his birthday party for a ride.

Govt flies low over aero grant Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TURBULENCE surrounding a $1 million infrastructure grant had Peninsula Aero Club in a tailspin last week. The funding was approved by a department overseen by club member and state aviation industry minister Gordon Rich-Phillips - raising conflict-of-interest accusations. The money - for airfield upgrades - is coming from the state government's $20 million Victorian Regional Aviation Fund for upgrading regional public use airport infrastructure. Peninsula Aero Club is private and borders the outer-urban fringe. It’s not regional and, strictly speaking, is not public use. Another point of interest was that the usually publicity hungry state government had kept details of the taxpayerfunded grant under wraps – whereas such largess is usually greeted with much fanfare, especially with an election due next month. Mr Rich-Phillips represents the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, which runs as far south as Baxter – near Tyabb. He told the ABC he “took advice, sought advice from the Department of Premier and Cabinet around managing any conflicts of interest. Acting on that advice, I put in place delegations so that this matter, or that any matter indeed related to that facility, was dealt with by departmental officers without any reference to me or my office”. Mr Rich-Phillips said the program applied to regional airports - those in regional municipalities or ‘interface’

municipalities – and airports which are public use and from where aircraft operators operate. "That's the criteria for upgrades and these are operational upgrades at airports across Victoria and that's the criteria at which this club would have been assessed," he said. Mornington Peninsula Shire sustainability director Steve Chapple has described the airfield as mainly a “recreational facility”. Aero club vice president Jack Vevers last week confirmed members had approached Mr RichPhillips about 18 months ago for the funding but that they had been
referred on to the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation. “Yes, it’s true that we approached him, but we were quickly put at arm’s length,” Mr Vevers said. “He was unaware we were going to apply and, when we did, told us, ‘I can’t deal with this’. “We were asked to deal only with the department.” Mr Rich-Philips operates his own plane, a Beechcraft Bonanza, from the airfield and has it stored in a hangar there. He has been a member for a year. Mr Vevers said he would be sur-
prised if the minister “knew what was in the application”. “We asked for money to improve the whole airport precinct,” he said. “We want to replace runway lights, widen the taxiway, replace runway cross overs, replace a damaged apron area, and a tired old staff area that’s been there 50 years.” Asked whether the airfield was used by members of the public, he said: “All the time. It is a private airstrip but it is used daily by crayfish suppliers, charter tours and all emergency services. We even get international visitors, and flying classes are conducted here.”
THE cruise ship season has started with the arrival of the Dawn Princess, with 85 ships expected to enter Port Phillip by next June. The Mornington Peninsula will receive its first visit by a passenger liner with the arrival of the Pacific Pearl early next year. Major Events Minister Louise Asher said 12 more ship visits were being made than in 2013/14. The number of Australians taking a cruise is growing by 20 per cent a year and is expected to reach one million by 2016. “Three Princess Cruises ships – The Diamond Princess, The Dawn Princess, and The Sun Princess – will visit Melbourne between now and April 2015,” Ms Asher said. “The trio will make a total of 24 Melbourne port calls, accounting for almost a third of the city’s total ship visits.” A further 14 Carnival-owned ships will visit Melbourne this season, while the Seabourn Odyssey will also call in at Geelong and the Pacific Jewel and Pacific Pearl will visit Portland.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire receive $6.88 million for roadworks over the next five years. The money comes from the federal government’s Roads to Recovery program. Flinders MP Greg Hunt said the works would provide relief for “frustrated road users”. “Local roads provide key links between our homes, schools and workplaces to arterial roads and national highways,” Mr Hunt said. “The maintenance of these roads comes at a significant cost to local councils, which is why the Australian government is doubling Roads to Recovery payments to councils next year to $700 million.” The mayor Cr Antonella Celi said the shire would submit specific projects for Roads to Recovery funding once the proposed project program was finalised.

Auction to decide animals’ fate Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE auction of a Balnarring property on Saturday holds the fate of 260 native animals in its grasp. The four hectare Black and White Swan sanctuary, owned by animal lover and pensioner Maryrose Kersting, is being sold by the Commonwealth Bank to repay mortgage debts. She fears moving her beloved animals from the Stumpy Gully Rd property after so many years in the one place may stress and kill them. Mrs Kersting, 70, has run the sanctuary for the past 20 years, caring for wallabies, pademelons, brush-tailed bettongs, sugar gliders, ringtail and brushtail possums, ducks and geese, emus, black and white swans, parrots, lorikeets, cockatoos, chooks, peacocks and pheasants. Some species are listed as threatened in Victoria. It is the only home many of the animals have ever known. Mrs Kersting says she has spent “a couple of hundred thousand” dollars over the years erecting fox-proof fencing, digging nine dams and building fountains and enclosures for her charges, who she regards as family. One, a red deer, will be 20 in December – making it possibly the oldest of its species in Australia. The property is owned by a family printing business which reportedly ceased trading in March. The property is tipped to sell for $1.2 million when auctioned by Satchwells Real Estate. Mrs Kersting said she had tried to discuss the property’s future with the Cheltenham branch of the bank, where the mortgage is held, “but they won’t talk to me because I am old”. “They’ll talk to my daughter but not me. I have sent them many letters – over two months ago - but they won’t get back to me.” The emotional stress and heartache is damaging Mrs Kersting’s health as she battles to keep up with her daily chores of feeding the animals and maintaining the enclosures. She says she desperately needs financial assistance to find a place to

live with her animals and to build suitable ponds, aviaries and yards to house them. Asked about her future, she said: “I don’t know what will happen. I am scared of the future. I’d be devastated if I had to move.”
RSPCA Victoria visited the property last week with wildlife officers of the Department of the Environment and Primary Industry. “We found no issues,” inspectorate manager Allie Jalbert said. “In fact, this property was one of the

Decades of art and friendship on show PENINSULA Arts Society will celebrate its 60th anniversary next month with a show over the Melbourne Cup weekend. The society began in March 1954 when professional artists from all parts of the peninsula met at the Mechanics Hall at the invitation of residents and art enthusiasts Colin and Maidie McGowan. A committee was formed and Peninsula Arts Society was born – making it the first official arts society to be established on the Mornington Peninsula. Meetings were held in various places around Frankston and the society eventually bought a property at 13 Overton Rd, Frankston, which was used for eight years. In 1988 the society built its own studio and gallery on land in Overport Park leased from the Frankston Council. In 1999 the premises were extended, adding an extra studio. “From its humble beginnings, the membership of more than 600 artists has grown into a vibrant and thriving artistic community of members who
regularly meet and exhibit,� member Wendy Easton said. “They enjoy the friendship that emanates through all the varied fine art classes, regular workshops, demonstrations and social activities offered to novice and experienced artists by outstanding renowned tutors.� Ms Easton said the society’s continued success and strength lay in its “wealth of artistic excellence and education, its ability to give back to the community, raising money for charitable causes and its spirit of camaraderie, providing a place of support and nurturing for all�. All these things come together at the annual Cup Weekend Spring Art Show – 1-4 November - and Diamond Anniversary Show. The shows are at 159 Overport Rd, Frankston South 10am-5pm. Entry is free. Details: pasinfo@bigpond.com or call 9775 2640. Visit peninsulaartssociety.org.au Art works will be on display and for sale. Devonshire teas by the Red Cross, meet the artists and enter the raffle.

Tips on how to land the fish By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro EVEN with good numbers of squid, flathead, gummy sharks and salmon fishing in Port Phillip and Western Port is all about snapper. So how do you go about landing a snapper? There are many things that you can do to increase your chances of landing a big red. The number one tip I received from my father many years ago is that you have to fish where the fish are. At its most basic this equates to fishing shallow waters (6-15 meters) at night and deeper waters during the day (16-22 meters). Popular Snapper fishing destinations include Mornington, Carrum and St Kilda in Port Phillip and Hastings, Crib Point, and Rhyll in Western Port. Timing is everything yet nothing at the same time. The peak times to land a snapper are dawn, dusk and the change of tide. My number one saying is that you will not catch a snapper in your office, Mother Nature in all her splendour has made fish both totally predictable and completely unpredictable. Each year I see hundreds of snapper caught with none of the key times in play, you just have to be in it to win it. Snapper fishing can be a waiting game. If you’re approaching a peak fishing time stay put, be patient and keep those lines in the water. I like to give a snapper spot at least two hours (preferably one hour either side of the prime time), then by all means move about or sound around for another spot. Hard core snapper fishos should keep a dairy detailing date, time, tide, moon phase, location, weather conditions, bait and results. This will

enable you to predict fish movements and help you plan your next snapper sortie. Snapper fishing can be as complex or as simple as you like. From handlines to graphite rods, soft plastics and braided lines, there is a niche for every angler and their style. I opt for a 4-7kg spinning outfit in Port Phillip and a 10kg overhead setup in Western Port. My rig is always a running sinker rig with the sinker weight dictated by the conditions. I never use a wire trace when snapper fishing, 40-60lb monofilament is ample. Snapper snatchers/flasher rigs, soft plastics, jigs and even flies all account for their share of snapper, but it’s bait fishing that is the most popular entry level technique. Squid, pilchards, silver whiting, garfish and saurie are the
most popular baits for snapper. Use only the freshest baits available but when the snapper are on the bite it won't matter what you offer. The trick is to entice them when they are not in a frenzy mode. Anglers should match their hook size to their bait size, for small baits a size 2/0 hook could be ample but for larger baits a pair of 6/0 hooks may fit the bill. Any fishing adventure should be planned. Check the weather as there is no point planning to go fishing if the wind is going to blow 30 knots. Make sure you have all that you need, don’t look like a goose and run out of bait, hooks or sinkers. Be sure to have change for your launching fee. Know where your landing net is and most importantly if your boat fishing make sure that you have the correct safety equipment, enough fuel and a charged battery. My top 10 snapper fishing tips: 1. Fish where the fish are. 2. Be prepared. 3 Patience. 4. Never use a wire trace. 5. Match hook size to bait size. 6. Don’t move during peak times. 7. The fresher the bait the better. 8. Fish as many lines as possible (limit four a person). 9. Keep a fishing diary. 10. Relax and enjoy.

Soccer pals play to benefit Bobby SOCCER players and their families from all over the peninsula turned out for a benefit day on 28 September for club stalwart Bobby Geddes, who is suffering from motor neurone disease. Such is their regard for him that teams from Karingal, Mornington, Baxter, Langwarrin and Mt Eliza competed to raise $6000 on the gala day – Bobby’s Day - which attracted about 350 people. They posed for photographs with Mr Geddes, his wife Leanne and son Jack, 9. The couple have two other children aged 2 and 4. The games followed a fundraising party earlier in the month for Mr Geddes “so everyone could get together with him and celebrate his life,” club president Mick Hardy said. “About 450 attended and we raised about $4000 for his family. It was a great night.”

The club also hosted a trivia night on 3 October at Seaford Community Hall for another 270 people and raised around $20,000. The man described by Mr Hardy as a “top bloke” has been part of the Langwarrin Soccer Club since 1985. “To see how many people have come together to support him and acknowledge him has been amazing,” he said. “Getting the disease is just bad luck. I’ve watched him over the past eight months when he’s been working with me to now not being able to put one foot in front of the other. It’s a tragedy.” Mr Hardy described Mr Geddes as an “outgoing bloke very well known on the peninsula. You’ve only got to mention his name; everyone likes him.” Stephen Taylor

Laws of attraction BEAUTIFULLY located just one street back from Bay Beach and a short stroll to the shops and cafes along Point Nepean Road, this outstanding, contemporary designed home has it all. The street appeal is the first indicator to the quality on offer, with the striking use of timber along the front, cleverly incorporated into the garage roller door. A neatly paved driveway abuts landscaped gardens with yucca plants and combined together the first impression is one of true coastal style. The main bedroom is discreetly zoned in the north corner of the home and features a luxurious ensuite with double shower and a walk-in robe. A home theatre has been established in the front living room but this could easily become a parents retreat or formal lounge area. Lovely timber floors greet you at the entry and these continue through to the main open-plan living area which sparkles under the high ceilings and is awash with natural light. A modern galley-style kitchen has a dishwasher and wall-oven, with walls of cupboard space – a design feature unto themselves – seamlessly merging with the crisp white decor. The adjoining meals and lounge area spread out before a full-length series of windows and sliding glass doors that open out to the splendid alfresco entertaining deck and pool area. The solar-heated pool and spa are securely set in a glass enclosure, and the outdoor area also features a built-in barbecue, refrigerator and a sink. The children’s wing is at the far end of the home and branching of from a third living area are three more bedrooms. One has dual-entry access to the main bathroom and another - perfect for guests - has a powder room. This is a true turn the key and enjoy home, and with little in the way of upkeep, the playground that is the southern peninsula is at your beck and call with beaches and exercise trails just a leisurely stroll away.

Peninsula art community celebrates a birthday DROMANA Art Show is celebrating 40 years of showcasing artworks from the Mornington Peninsula and elsewhere. It will hold a show over Melbourne Cup weekend – 1-4 November - with opening night at 7pm on the Friday. The $20 entry includes nibbles, complimentary glass of wine from Elgee Park winery, or beer from the Mornington Peninsula Brewery. Entertainment will be by local musician Dan Thornell. Entry over the weekend from 10am-5pm is $5. Visitors will see a collection of works: from painting and photography, craft and jewellery in the artisan shop, to the new sculpture category. Also, on show will be a range of contemporary and traditional art from several mediums and materials appealing to appreciators and buyers in all price ranges. There will be demonstrations by exhibiting artists, workshops in weaving and book binding on the Saturday, and a supervised children’s craft activity station on the Sunday, so parents can enjoy a glass of Hickinbotham wine as they peruse the art. Bookings are required for these demonstrations. A $2 donation will cover the cost of materials. Feature artists are painter Sam Michelle and sculptor Paul Kelly. Michelle’s works can be seen at The Suburban Gallery, Brighton, and The Province Artist Studio, Berwick. Kelly is Dromana Arts’ first ever sculpture prize winner from across the bay. Based in Geelong, he is a regular at Red Hill Market and his works can be seen at markets on the west coast. Feature

THE Peninsulas FRESHEST MARKET
Noisy nesters: The lorikeet is the only parrot in the world with a tongue that has lots of little barbs on it. This tongue is perfectly adapted to mop up pollen and nectar from native flowers. Pictures: Steve Duke, left, and Ian Sanderson
Colourful and noisy RAINBOW Lorikeets can be a frustrating backyard visitor at times, due to their loud screeching and the chaotic noise they create when they get together in their roosting trees. The noise can be a bit much sometimes but the good news is that many of these flocks are dispersing as they spread out to look for nests. “Right now lorikeets in Frankston and across the Mornington Peninsula are looking for good nesting spots to raise their chicks,� Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife CEO Susanna Bradshaw said. “They will be starting to nest in tree hollows or nest boxes and both parents will take care of the chicks. “These lorikeets are noisy communicators because they usually hang out in large groups, so they have a lot of other voices to compete with.� Ms Bradshaw said male lorikeets were often
seen “locked in battle, rolling in the dust on the ground ‌ settling territorial disputesâ€?. “Yes it’s true that rainbow lorikeets can be noisy little blighters at times, but humans can be just as troublesome for them if we cut down their nesting or roosting trees or when they become victims on our roads. “Remember to slow down when there are native animals around and leave big, old trees in your garden—unless they are dangerous, of course. Just a few simple things you do can make such a positive difference for not just Rainbow Lorikeets, but all sorts of native wildlife.â€? Ms Bradshaw said lorikeets should not be fed honey or sugar “as it can make them illâ€?. “Feeding them bread can also cause problems, so let them find their own food as they are very good at it.â€?

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Pick a winner in the Caulfield Cup Compiled by Melissa Hodge AT St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, on Sunday, services of humiliation and intercession on account of the drought will be held. A special form of prayer has been issued, to be used at every Church of England service in Victoria. *** THE result of the deputation arranged by the Frankston Progress Association to the Commissioners of Railways has resulted in an improvement to our service being promised on the commencement of the summer timetable in November. The thanks of the Frankston public are due to the association for the addition to the timetable of a train leaving Melbourne at 11.15am, arriving at Frankston about 12.30 o’clock. This should be a great convenience to holiday makers and day trippers. *** OWING to various causes the working bee at the Frankston cemetery was not so large as had been intended. There will be another today – see our advertising columns. *** THE Circuit Quarterly Meeting of the Frankston Methodist Church was held at Frankston on Wednesday, 30th. The minister, Rev R. Jackson, presiding. Representatives from each place in the circuit were present. The minister was unanimously invited to remain in the circuit another year. The Shire President (Cr W. J. Oates) who was present as a member, was congratulated on his elevation to of-
fice, and complimented for his adherence to temperance principles. The quarterly balance sheet disclosed a small credit balance. The recent opening of Carrum Downs was reported upon favourably. Feeling reference was made to the death of the late senior Circuit Steward (Mr A. E. Gault), who did so much to advance the interests of the church he loved and faithfully served. A resolution was passed regarding the abolition of the wet canteen at Broadmeadows. The ladies of the Frankston church kindly provided tea for the members and friends, for which hearty thanks were given. *** TODAY (Saturday) the Caulfield Cup will be run, and although it will be very hard to pick the winner, I am of the opinion that the judges verdict may result as follows :–Anna Carlovna or St. Carnawyne 1, Uncle Sam 2, Bon Ton 3. *** THERE was a moderate attendance at the Frankston Methodist Church on a Thursday evening when Sister Bessie, Home Mission Deputation, gave an interesting address on various areas of missionary work. The speaker was listened to attentively and much appreciated by those present. Rev Jackson occupied the chair. *** AT a meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association, held on Saturday evening, it was decided to support Aspendale district in an effort to get a
train from Melbourne put on between 5.32pm and 6.22pm. Members stated that many persons who were able to leave their offices in the city at 5.30 could not catch the first, and it was a great infliction to have to wait 50 minutes for the next. There are trains leaving for Mordialloc at 5.52 and 6.12. It was suggested that the former of these be cut to Chelsea and Carrum, and the meeting agreed to ask the Railway Commissioners either to put on a new through train or to let the 5.52pm train run it through. *** ON Tuesday the passenger traffic on the Caulfield, Mordialloc and Frankston lines was seriously delayed owing to the engine of a goods train breaking down at Malvern. The goods train left Melbourne for| Berwick at 2.50pm and when the Malvern station was reached, the side rod of the engine snapped. The train was then helpless, and as the line was blocked the passenger train which left Flinders Street at 3.30 for Oakleigh had to push the disabled goods on to Caulfield, where it was shunted on to a side line to await the arrival of a new engine. This necessitated a long delay, and as a result the 3.50 down train to Mordialloc was held up for 40 minutes, and the train 38 which was to have left Flinders Street at 4.37 for Frankston did not depart until a quarter of an hour after its appointed time. In addition, the running of several suburban passenger trains was interfered with, but traffic became normal again be-

fore the business rush set in at 5 o’clock. *** Encouraging Tree Planting THE Minister of Forests was waited on by representatives of the Victorian Fruit Growers’ Association, who had previously interviewed the Minister of Agriculture. They stated that the Nurserymen and Seedmen’s Association had passed a resolution in approval of the attitude of the fruit growers in endeavouring to secure the reforestation of areas in the state, as this meant the beautification of the district; the provision of a supply of timber, which would be of value in the future; and the increase of the rain fall. They presented a copy of this resolution, and they asked that the Minister should lend encouragement to replanting – for example, the replanting of from three to ten acre blocks, on the system followed in America. The association, in addition to its concern for an active policy in the control of the forests had a special interest. It would benefit if the trees could be planted that would provide timber for box making. The deputation suggested the planting of pine trees. Mr Brown pointed out that under the existing law it was provided that settlers who planted their land with trees could be relieved of the higher taxes resulting from increase in value. The department was prepared to encourage reforestation but felt that it was already doing the work recommended by the association.
It had a plantation of pines covering about 1000 acres on French Island. Last week they had conferred with officers on forestry, and it was fully recognised that more timber would be wanted in the future. *** TYABB. It is with deepest sympathy that we record the death of Mrs J. H. Thornell, of Hazelglen, who passed away rather suddenly on Wednesday morning last. The deceased had been suffering more or less during the last twelve months, but suddenly lapsed into a serious illness on Saturday last when her relatives at once realised that there was no hope for recovery. *** ON Monday evening last Sister Bessie, of the Livingstone Home Mission Society, gave a very interesting lecture in the local hall on missionary work. A fairly large gathering assembled, and enjoyed listening to the speaker, and also to the anthems which were splendidly rendered by the Somerville Methodist Choir. The sum of 30s was taken up by collection towards the Mission Fund. *** THE Westernport entertainers gave another one of their grand concerts in the local town hall on Friday night last week, in aid of the brass band. Owing to the bad state of the weather, there was not as large an audience present as was anticipated, but those who were present were astonished at the progress made by the band.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Tales of a reluctant traveller By Stuart McCullough IT was inevitable. I’d seen the first series of ‘What Really Happens in Bali’ and felt inspired. Heck, I can fall over, get drunk, say stupid and downright inappropriate things that makes millions of people wince whilst getting an horrific but reasonably priced tattoo as well as the next person. Clearly, this was the place for me. That my pale skin leaves me susceptible to third degree burns when exposed to anything heavier than a forty-watt light bulb would not dissuade me. Besides, they must be filming a second series by now. Given that my groundbreaking and ingenious offer to be the Bachelor whilst living exclusively inside the Big Brother compound was rejected, going to Bali and injuring myself could be my big break. So to speak. There are so many reasons to go and only one reason to stay. To put it simply, my back is an empty canvas that is presently going to waste. I want a dragon. With fire coming out of its mouth and holding an electric guitar (preferably a Gibson Les Paul ‘57, if that’s not too much to ask). Next to it, I’ll get the Southern Cross and below that add a few Chinese characters which, in an act of supreme irony, I hope will say ‘Australian Made’, but will probably say ‘Property of the People’s Republic of China’. Bali is the land of discount tattooing. That your provider may be using a sharpened Paddle Pop stick as his tool of trade and drawing ink from a severed biro is all part of the joy of overseas travel. The reason for not go-
ing is simple: my abiding and deep respect for gravity. I am not a good flyer. It’s one of many things at which I truly suck. I am awful Formula One driver, but I seldom if ever get asked to race. When it comes to laying down rhyme, I’m not much of a rapper even though my employee record names ‘ODB’ from the Wu Tang Clan as my next of kin. I am a hopeless thoracic surgeon although I did once write a film script called ‘Thoracic Park’ in which pre-historic medical practitioners at-
tack Jeff Goldblum, partly because he disturbed them in their natural habitat but mostly just for being Jeff Goldblum. Whilst I can avoid representing the Red Bull team, recording with the Wu Tang Clan and conducting surgery – both official and otherwise – some things you can only evade for so long. Sitting next to me on a plane is not a fun experience. For a time, I travelled with work colleagues from Brisbane to Perth on a semi regular basis. I could almost see them age over the course of the flight, such was the effect of my
anxiety. This time, I’ve come prepared with the entire last season of ‘Breaking Bad’ loaded onto the iPad in the hope of distracting myself and, possibly, providing a vicarious viewing experience to the six year old sitting beside me that may well scar him or her for life. Flying is the ultimate ‘don’t look down’ experience. But as I tighten my seatbelt on the plane, it’s clear that air-travel has changed. I wait for the moment to arrive, but it never does. It seems that somewhere in the quest for low-cost air travel we have abandoned the one thing that distinguished flying from other forms of transport: the hot towel. Frankly, without a hot towel I might as well be sitting on a tram. Who is it that makes such monumental decisions? Is there a committee? Was there a plebiscite? The stewardess refuses to answer any of these questions no matter how often I push the button. As a result, I’m forced to improvise by wetting one of my socks and using two biros as a makeshift pair of tongs. ‘Hot towel?’ I ask. In flying terms, six hours is nothing. But for someone who would rather extract his own teeth with a pair of barbecue tongs than get on a plane it’s a lot of time to distract yourself. Walter White is well on the path to destruction and I’ve eaten a dehydrated meal of rice whose claims of being ‘Nasi Goreng’ are roughly as about as credible as my claims of being Miss Universe. Everyone around me seems incredibly relaxed, no doubt preoc-
cupied by having to decide which cut price tattoo to get first. When the flight touches down in Denpasar, I feel as though I’ve achieved something quite spectacular. We are herded onto a small bus to get to the terminal and I am struck in the back of the head by a mobile phone as a young holiday goer makes a face that resemble a fish recently injected with Botox and takes selfies. Forget boogie bags stuffed with contraband; if there’s anything that deserves a stretch in an Indonesian prison, it’s taking selfies on public transport. However, my attempts to report these activities to security staff are greeted with a chronic lack of interest. When I travel, I’m always keen to respect the local customs. In the case of Denpasar airport, the local customs involve queuing up for an hour and waiting to hand over a wad of American dollars. Soon, we are collected from the airport by a young man called ‘Mus’ whose job it is to take us to Ubud. He has Bob Marley on the stereo and when I make a comment about this fact, he interprets it as some kind of criticism and switches to One Direction. Suddenly, my fear of flying is dwarfed by my fear of anything to do with Simon Cowell. By the time we arrive at our destination, I am a pale, quivering wreck and our hosts come out and greet us in the traditional Indonesian manner by asking, ‘Hot towel?’ stuart@stuartmccullough.com

BASIC POLITICS The Times They Are A Changing…a song maybe the Grammy Award winning solo artist Gotye with his group The Basics (Kris Schroeder and Tim Heath) could be singing? Get ready Victoria – you will be hearing a lot more from them as they run in the upcoming state election in Victoria. Gotye, aka Wally De Backer along with long time friends Schroeder and Heath, have formed The Basics Rock’n’Roll Party (BRRP) and have confirmed their acceptance of running on November 29. “We want to demonstrate that it is possible to have a political party in Australia that is not Labor or Liberal. A group that is not ultimately driven by the mining or union sectors. A party that’s players are not treated like royalty with glossy leaders” said Schroeder. He went on to say “we are not politicians, we are ordinary folk without an agenda who work on the basis of honesty and integrity. We are not being paid by lobby groups for what we want to achieve. We just want people to have a voice to ask questions. Questions I am sure we would all want the answers too. Why is this happening? Who made that decision for me?”
The trio do not want to change the political landscape as they have in the music industry, they want to prove anyone can take their place in politics – there is enough room for everyone! The three pillars of the parties political movement are quite impressive; innovation, education, and of course Rock ‘n’ Roll. Their objectives include improving indigenous local learning in Victorian schools, compulsory first-aid training in high schools and having more access to music in rural areas. With over 13,000 registered interest parties on the groups Facebook page, the small number of 500 registered members needed with the Victorian Electoral Commission is just a formality. One of the latest quips on the page is over 60% of the members so far are Red Heads; this did set the cat amongst the pigeons – we all know the most memorable of Red Heads that was at the helm of a major political party & our country – some may say changed the landscape for the better or worse? Don’t let this put you off. They are not Red Head bias – we have confirmed this for you! The firm thoughts of the group are that decisions do not have to be made by the elite, well-to-do, or pure-bred politicians.
A large part of the issues that they are discussing are federally based, and this is an arena for the future of BRRP. History has shown that well know personalities perform well in the political arena. Peter Garrett would be one of those that come to mind. Possibly misguided, he did not stick to his own thoughts and agenda. In my humble opinion I think it was a bit of a compromise between his own ideals and what was convenient at the time. Looking back at the Midnight Oil the music completely contradicted his outward Labor political views, maybe a lesson that convenience is not always the best choice. Enough political insight. The Basics Rock’n’Roll party will shake things up I’m sure. If you’re interested in keeping up with everything BRRP, check out the Facebook page in preparation for the Election on November 29th – I am sure you will be hearing a lot about it over the coming months!

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT Introducing the new Blue Mini CafE, Eatery and Emporium THE iconic Blue Mini Café in Rosebud has been offering its fresh and delicious breakfast and lunch menu to hungry visitors for more than seven years from its great beachside location. With its friendly, personal service and relaxed retro atmosphere, the Blue Mini has grown to become a favourite of locals and tourists alike. After more than a year in planning – and just in time for the school holidays – the Blue Mini has opened at its second location in Rosebud, bringing its clever and quirky take on informal dining to the old Rosebud bowling alley, which closed its doors in 2013. Fully renovated throughout, the Blue Mini Café, Eatery and Emporium is a bright and spacious cafe, provedore and function venue which offers visitors to the Mornington Peninsula a unique experience. Using recycled timbers and innovative design, the new Blue Mini has retained the retro look and feel of the bowling alley, breathing new life into the old building, while offering a relaxed, modern dining experience which captures the spirit and flavours of the Mornington Peninsula. The Blue Mini is open seven days a week for all day breakfast and lunch with a vibrant seasonal menu that reflects the personality of the Mornington Peninsula. The Blue Mini is more than a café and Tracey’s goal is to make every visit an experience. Walk through the café to the Eatery and Emporium and you will arrive at “The Lanes”, a spacious indoor dining
area built on the original polished lanes of the bowling alley. Here guests can enjoy a fresh coffee or tasty brunch which relaxing with friends in a bright, casual dining atmosphere. Your meal at the Blue Mini is complemented by a wide range of unique, retro kitchen and lifestyle themed giftware – again locally sourced and carefully selected to ensure you will always find something different. The Blue Mini Emporium also provides a market forum for Mornington Peninsula artists and artisans to display their creations, with opportunities to purchase local art, sculpture, crafts and flowers. The kids’ play area lets Mums enjoy some well-earned down time and grown-up company while the kids get creative and have fun. The old site at Point Nepean Road, Rosebud is still up and running, as Tracey points out. “We have just rebranded and revamped it a bit,” said Tracey. “We still have the same fabulous team there, great serviced and reasonably priced so you can relax and enjoy breakfast or lunch at your leisure.” The original Blue Mini Café is now named The Corner Café and Catering, has a new look but everything else is the same. Blue Mini Café, Eatery and Emporium is at 2 Colchester Road, Rosebud. Phone 5981 2520. The Corner Café and Catering is at 1455 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud. Phone 5982 1455. www.bluemini.com.au

Mornington News 14 October 2014
THIS year, Mornington Peninsula Kids and MPNG in conjunction with Karingal Hub Shopping Centre are organising the annual Walk for Daniel on October 31. The walk is part of the Day for Daniel awareness program, organised by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, with a focus on information rather than fund raising. Anna Brown, from Mornington Peninsula Kids, says it was a great success last year and they expect to have an even larger turnout this year. “The walk is held at Karingal Hub so there is no concern about the weather. As this year’s Day for Daniel falls on October 31, we are combining the event with a trick or treat around the centre,” said Anna, who interviewed Bruce Morcombe last year. “After interviewing Mr Morcombe last year I was astounded at how upfront he was, the strength
and courage that he and Denise show. They don’t want it to happen to anybody else and are now devoting their time to education and prevention.” The Walk for Daniel starts at 4pm at Karingal Hub. Bring the kids along in Halloween costume to trick or treat in safety. Enjoy free goodies with face-painting and a free drink station from McDonalds, a Batman appearance, St Kilda Football Club mascot, trick or treat lollies and a free colouring book. The walk will start at 4.30pm, wandering around the centre twice along with the Karingal Hub Walking Club. For further information go to www.peninsulakids.com.au If you are unable to attend the day but would like information on the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, go to www. danielmorcombe.com.au

Magpies’ batting puts them in box seat PROVINCIAL By IT Gully CRIB Point is well placed for victory after the first day of the second round in Provincial cricket. Up against Moorooduc at Moorooduc Reserve, the Magpies batted their full complement of 80 overs and scored an impressive 9/305. The visitors won the toss and had little hesitation in batting first. Things didn’t start well though when opener Henry Dolphin was claimed for just five, however, this brought the champ Luke Herrington to the crease with run machine and skipper Rob Hearn. The pair took the score from 10 to 66 before Herrington was dismissed for 43 after belting seven fours. Matty Blake contributed 29 to the scoreboard, batting at four instead of opening the innings. When both Blake and Hearn (65)
were dismissed, this brought Brad Davidson and Ricky Thompson together. The pair put on a clinic, smacking the pill to all parts of Moorooduc Reserve, sharing a partnership of 112. Davidson, after hitting four fours and two sixes, was dismissed by Shane Manby for 51, before Thompson (66 including four fours and four sixes) became another Manby victim. At that stage, the Pies were in control, the score was on 275 and there were some overs still in play. Chris Richmond, who played in the Second XI the week before, contributed a well timed 34. Manby was the pick of the Ducs’ bowlers with 4/57 from 12 overs. Bobby Wilson and Ross Cordeaux each claimed two wickets. Langwarrin has set Mt Eliza a competitive total in their match at Emil Madsden Reserve. The Kangas though would be
disappointed that it didn’t post a higher score than 230 after getting away to such a great start. Opening pair Simon McEvoy and Mark Cooper put on 89 for the partnership before McEvoy was the first to go for 40. Cooper, who was ordinary with the bat last season, had a big pre-season and he followed-up his good first round knock with 57. However, other than 65 from the in-form Andy Johnson, the Kangas really didn’t get going, their final six batsmen not reaching double figures. Credit to Lyle House and his Mounties, who took a stranglehold on the game in the back end of the innings and kept the Kangas to a more than gettable total. House himself finished with 3/79 from 24 overs, however, it was Nick Baron, who played in the Second XI last week, who really did the damage. Baron was called up with just 15 overs left in the innings and had
an immediate impact, getting a caught and bowled immediately and finishing with 5/33 from eight overs. The Mounties will be confident they can get the runs, while Langwarrin will be confident that they can defend 230, especially with Dwayne Doig and Adrian Mack on their side. Sorrento will be looking for a big day on day two of their match against neighbour Rye, after already claiming first innings victory. The Sorras bowled first and rolled the Demons for 108. AJ King was on fire with 6/28 while Anthony Blackwell picked-up 4/22. Tom Barrand top scored with 27 for Rye. In reply, the Sorras are cruising at 1/114 with former Demon Corey Harris unbeaten at the crease on 68. Pines and Baxter will go down to the wire after 12 wickets tumbled on day one. The Piners did the job with the ball with everyone contributing,
including Nick Wilcox, Brett Remy, Ricky Ramsdale and Pat Jackson, all claiming two wickets. Baxter was dismissed for 142, Joe Rule following-up his ton last week with another 69. In reply, Pines is 2/27. Peninsula Old Boys have already picked-up the win against Heatherhill. The Hills were rolled for 70 before the Old Boys responded with 2/105 at the close of play. No doubt an outright is on the cards for the home side. In potentially the big upset of the round, Mornington is well and truly on the ropes against Long Island. Playing at home, the Doggies batted first and were rolled for just 90. In reply, the Islanders are 4/101. Whilst the Islanders are a great side, one gets the feeling that there are some twists and turns still left in this one.
Hillmen set tone against Seaford DISTRICT By IT Gully NEW kids on the MPCA District block, Red Hill, has set the scene for a cracking game against the competition’s glamour team, Seaford. It was a tough second round draw for the Hillmen, who elevated themselves to District ranks after winning the flag last season. Seaford has recruited extremely well in the off season and would have fancied their chances to intimidate the newest side to the competition. However, Red Hill stood firm against the potent Seaford attack and posted a sensational score of 9/294. Things didn’t start all that well after Seaford sent Red Hill into bat. Boom recruit Laurie Heath got his stumps rearranged by Andy McMannis when the score was on eight. However, Andrew Mock and Rheede Hopgood were brought together at the crease and really did set the game up for the home side. Mock played an anchor role and finished with 37, while Hopgood opened the shoulders and belted 108. The pair took the score from eight to 141 before Hopgood was dismissed by Faisal Payenda. The Hopgood dismissal brought Simon Dart to the crease. Suffice to say things didn’t get any easier for Seaford’s bowlers at that point. Dart finished unbeaten on 93. The positive for Seaford was the bowling figures of Payenda, who finished with 7/114 off 29 overs. McMannis claimed 2/80 off 18. Paul Hartle bowled just 14 overs but went for 44. Hastings did well to keep the run machine that is Delacombe Park to 9/242. The Blues were able to ensure that no Devils were able to get off the leash, although there could be an argument mounted that part-time batsman Ben Brittain should not have scored 62. Brittain’s knock was an important one, as it helped push the score beyond 200. At one stage, the Devils
were 9/187. Max Sherry scored 21 batting at 11 and Brittain was unbeaten on 62. There were also 30 extras bowled, including 11 no balls. Chris Brittain also contributed 44. Tim Birch was the best of the Hastings’ bowlers, the skipper picking-up 4/50, while Luke Hewitt claimed 3/63. It could be a case of the one that got away for the Blues, who probably allowed 50 additional runs. The batsmen now really need to step up to the plate. Somerville is well on track to get the points against Mt Martha. The Eagles bowled the Reds out for 127, however, lost two wickets for just 21 runs before the close of play. Flinders has plenty of work to do against Seaford Tigers. The Sharks batted first and managed 9/171, Tim Clark top scoring with 53 and Shane Beggs getting 25. Corey Hand was on fire for the Tigers with 5/54, while Ash Mills picked-up 2/28. Daniel Polson scored a magnificent unbeaten 178 in Carrum’s massive 7/302 against Boneo. Polson came to the crease when the Lions were in some bother at 3/58, however, he hung around for the rest of the innings. John Mitchell was a solid support and scored 56 in their 133-run partnership. Stewart Mathieson was the best of the Boneo bowlers with 3/52, while the evergreen Cameron Williams claimed 2/49 for the Pandas. Main Ridge is well on the way to picking up the win against Baden Powell. The Braves batted first and were bowled out for 152. Josh Waldron top scored for the Braves with 49. However, the day belonged to the Cougars’ bowlers, Jason Albress taking 4/19 and Scott Millar 4/66. The Cougars’ batsmen then went to town, Michael Holmes belting an unbeaten 84 and Ed Aarons is cruising on 32. At stumps, the home side was 1/128.

SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully BALLAM Park is a big chance to score the biggest upset in three or four seasons in their match against Balnarring in Sub District cricket. Everything seemed to be going as normal in the match at Ballam Park, the Saints picking up wickets at will and eventually rolling the home side for 104. It was all very normal at that point. Mitch Kleinig did the job with the new ball for the Saints with a super impressive 4/2 from 13 overs, including 12 maidens, while Tyler Wilton was also superb with the nugget, claiming 4/27 from 10 overs. New Knights’ skipper Ryan O’Connor contributed 28 runs with the bat, batting at nine, while Michael Casey opened with 34. Matt Moore with 10 was the only other Ballam Park batsman to score double figures. What happened next though was the big shock. With 24 overs left in the day, the Saints would have expected to set themselves up for a tilt at an outright win. What they did, however, was slump to 6/51 at the close of play. The top six Saints’ batsmen are all back in the sheds, including boom recruit David Ross, who was trapped in front off the bowling of Marc Blume for 13. Mark Walles top scored with 20. O’Connor picked-up 2/13, while Leigh Parslow snared 2/6. A shock victory is on the cards for the Knights. Rosebud has a lot of work to do against Carrum Downs.
The Buds batted first on Saturday at Olympic Park, however, were bowled out for just 127. Brad Glenn flew the flag for the Buds with 42, however, he lacked support. Chamara Perera was at his menacing best for the Cougars with 5/51, while Stuart Swift was also damaging with 3/18. In reply, Rosebud has hit back, however, the visitors are still in the box seat at 3/46 after batting the last 22 overs of the day. Skye’s bowlers will need to be at their very best when they take to the field next week against Pearcedale. Skye batted first on Saturday and were rolled for just 145. Paul Fillipone was the only Burras batsman to have an impact, scoring 52, while Christian Samuel supported him well with 36. At one stage, the Burras were 5/34. Chris Dew was the pick of the Dales’ bowlers with 4/37, Shayne Gillings claimed 3/29 and Kaine Smith snared 2/32. In reply, Pearcedale needed to face the last three overs of the day and finished unscathed at 0/3. Tootgarook has set Frankston YCW 171 for victory in their match at Peninsula Reserve. Scott Sterling was the top scorer for the Frogs with 69. In reply, YCW is 2/30. Dromana appears to be in the box seat against Tyabb. The Hoppers scored 163 before picking up four Tyabb wickets to have the visitors 4/78. Jack Raeside and Jason Ferns were the pick of the Yabbies’ bowlers with three wickets each.
