Down to the sea go three AUTHOR and therapist Bernadette Hoey celebrated her 80th birthday last week by taking a dip at Mt Martha in a seagrass palanquin, the Eastern version of a sedan chair. It was made for her by peninsula puppeteer Ian Cuming who, with Mornington author and world renowned shakuhatchi flute player Anne Norman, joined Ms Hoey for her birthday. “Anne and I wanted to do something special for Bernadette so we arranged a beach picnic. She’s a very dear friend and mentor,� Mr Cuming said. “We can so easily forget the wisdom carried by our elders,� said Ms Norman, whose busy schedule of national and international touring has been on hold for the summer while she works on her children’s novel about the sea.

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 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. Continued Page 10

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. Mike Hast

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 Instrumentalist’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.” Pictures: Gary Sissons See pages 48 - 49 for more photos

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.

Gondola chairlift plans go public 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 ca-
Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th March, 2014.
ble, upgraded controls and other improvements. 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.

Council ‘watchdog’ to get stronger bite
Free bus extended 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.

Better access: Elliott Reid, Mandy Di Marzio and Louis Brownlee look forward to catching PenBus.
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. The shire has received applications from about 50 new passengers so far this year. Among them was Mandy Di Marzio who said she would be relying on the service to help access work opportunities. “As a future job seeker, I would prefer to use the services of PenBus as it saves me money on petrol, wear and tear on the car, and bus and parking fees – along with an enjoyable and comfortable ride in a state-of-the-art luxury vehicle,” she said.
Regular PenBus user Elliott Reid said that before the service was introduced, it took him more than two hours to get from his home in Rosebud to university by public transport. “PenBus has almost halved the travel time and it is now comparable to driving,” he said. “Last year I was only able to utilise PenBus one day a week due to my university timetable not aligning with the bus schedule. Due to the increased frequency of trips this year, I should be able to catch it most days. “The bus has allowed me to not require a university parking permit and I’ve saved on fuel. PenBus is a free service, which is perfect while I’m on a ‘university budget’”. To register for PenBus and access the timetable, visit: www.mornpen. vic.gov.au/penbus

By Mike Hast COUNCILLORS will face greater scrutiny from the local government watchdog, the Local Government Inspectorate, when new powers are introduced into Parliament mid-year. Two new offences relate to breach of confidentiality and improper direction of council staff. Mayors will have the power to order the removal of unruly councillors from council meetings. The chief municipal inspector will have expanded power to investigate and prosecute breaches of conduct under the Local Government Act 1989. Misbehaving councillors will face stronger penalties. Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell said the changes were “part of a suite of vital improvements to governance and conduct arrangements designed to improve the standing of local government”. She said the changes “send a clear message to current and future councillors that they must be beyond reproach when representing their communities”. Giving the local government watchdog more power comes after last November’s council elections generated widespread complaints. But they do not address concerns about the lack of information about candidates, the prohibitive cost facing candidates wanting to send election material to voters, how candidates’ preferences can potentially be mani-

pulated, and so-called “dummy” candidates who stand just to pass on preferences to a second candidate. The two new offences relating to breach of confidentiality and improper direction of council staff both will carry penalties of up to 120 penalty units ($17,323). Mrs Powell said the inspectorate would have the power to investigate alleged instances of serious misconduct by a councillor and to initiate prosecutions for serious and gross misconduct.“The overwhelming majority of councillors are decent, hardworking people who represent the best interests of their community.” The inspectorate will continue to have the power to investigate possible breaches of the Act such as: Misuse of position by a councillor which carries a penalty of 600 penalty units ($86,616) or imprisonment for five years or both. Failure by a councillor to declare conflicts of interest, which carries a penalty of up to 120 penalty units ($17,323). Failure by a councillor to lodge pecuniary interest returns, with each offence carrying a penalty of up to 60 penalty units ($8661). The inspectorate will soon have the power to prosecute instances of improper direction or influence by a councillor or a member of council staff, and the release of confidential information by a councillor.

Authorities test for pollution By Mike Hast TWO government bodies and Mornington Peninsula Shire have joined forces to test water quality at Mornington beaches. The new project started last month and is a reaction to ongoing concerns about pollution affecting the town’s beaches. The project is a joint effort of the Environment Protection Authority, Melbourne Water and the shire. Samples are being taken at Mills Beach near Tanti Creek, Shire Hall Beach near a stormwater outlet, Mothers Beach, which is nearest to the pier but has no creek or stormwater outlet, and Fishermans Beach, which has a stormwater outlet and a boat launching ramp where fish entrails are dumped. Samples taken to a laboratory are being tested for E. coli and heavy metal traces. E. coli is bacteria that can indicate levels of sewage pollution. The testing was proposed at a meeting of Melbourne Water, the shire and Mornington Environment Association late last year. MEA president Jan Oliver said it was good to see the three agencies getting together but asked: “If pollution is found, do the agencies have the ability to deal with it?” Mothers Beach was closed twice last February due to two marine algal blooms. Mills Beach was also affected but not closed. The state government’s environment department issued a warning and signs were placed on the beach. The department said marine algal
blooms occurred most commonly during warmer months and were “a natural occurrence”. “Marine algal blooms in Port Phillip generally have no long-term health implications for humans who come into contact with it but the algae may cause skin and eye irritations,” it said. “We remind anyone who comes into contact with affected water to thoroughly wash their skin and clothing with clean water.” Last year the EPA stated algal blooms “can develop in the days or weeks after heavy rain, particularly during periods of warm, sunny and calm weather”. Port Phillip was also blighted by a large algal bloom that stretched from Daveys Bay in Mt Eliza to McCrae in late January and early February 2012. It was thought to have started off Frankston after raw sewage from a broken pipe four kilometres from Port Phillip entered a stormwater drain then Kananook Creek, which runs into Port Phillip. Frankston Council closed the beach for two days, 17-19 January, on the advice of the EPA. “Direct contact with algae-affected water can cause skin irritations and respiratory or hayfeverlike symptoms,” the Department of Sustainability and Environment warned. Water scientists have known was more than 15 years that sewage can create ideal conditions for some algal blooms. A federal government Department
Ugly bloom: Remains of dead algae at Mills Beach last summer. Authorities are testing for water pollution at four Mornington beaches.
of the Environment report in 2009 stated sewage treatment lagoons were susceptible to blue-green algae (BGA) blooms “as their high-nutrient environment provides ideal conditions for the development of these organisms”. Jan Oliver said no algal blooms had occurred off Mornington this summer. “This could be because
we’ve had little rain washing dead algae into Port Phillip or providing conditions that allow algae to occur.” Higher than usual tides and windy weather keeping the coastline clean might also be a factor, she said. Ms Oliver said she hoped water testing at Mornington would be a regular event.

Police forced to fire in Tyabb Continued from Page 1 “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 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.”

Beach birthday: Ian Cuming, Anne Norman and Bernadette Hoey on Mt Martha beach last week for the 80th birthday of the author and therapist, a former Mt Martha resident. Picture: Yanni
Down to the sea for birthday Continued from Page 1 “Bernadette has helped so many people through her work as a therapist. We really wanted to let her know how special she is to us all.” Over a picnic lunch of salads with marinated tofu, under the shade of an old banksia tree, Ms Norman recited poems from her novel. Her sculpture Sacred Fire, made from a tea tree branch washed up on a Mornington beach, stood nearby. Later, Ms Norman played her haunting shakuhatchi to the steady heartbeat rhythm of Ms Hoey’s hoop drum. “We’ve all been mates for many years,” said Ms Hoey as she was carried across the beach to the sea on the palanquin. “From time to time, we’ve been known to get quite playful. We all share a love of the absurd and a capacity to be spontaneous.” Ms Hoey’s first book, Who Calls the
Tune – A Psychodramatic Approach to Child Therapy, (Routledge, 1997), explains how the powerful techniques of Jacob Moreno’s psychodrama method can be safely used to help troubled children. In the book of case studies, child and therapist enter together into a world of play, using puppets to facilitate spontaneous interactions and role playing. Mr Cuming, who recently completed a post-graduate certificate in creative arts therapy, is researching the cultural value of wetlands at Victorian College of the Arts. “I thought we were just going to the water’s edge for a dipping of toes but at Bernadette’s insistence, and before I had time to wimp out, we were in up to our necks,” he said with a grin. Returning from the water’s edge, dripping wet and laughing, Ms Hoey said “It’s just a mad, hilarious, nonsensical sort of thing”. Last year Mr Cuming and Ms Hoey
conducted a workshop for the Dance Family, a group of children with autistic spectrum disorders. “My work really never stops,” Ms Hoey said. “There’s always more to be done. After this wonderful mayhem, I really just want to get straight back to work on my next book. It takes quite a long time to write a good book.” The three friends left the beach and went to a cafe where Ms Hoey produced a treasured book, My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. With a wistful look in her eye she read: “When you’re as old as I am, you’ll probably be able to hear flowers talking, that’s if you retain an open mind about such things – all the old people I know have had their minds locked up like grey scaly oysters since they were in their teens”. For anyone working creatively with children, Who Calls the Tune is available on Amazon and at public libraries.

Easel inventor has another brain wave ARTIST, designer, inventor, author and former rock ‘n’ roll guitarist Tony Barber is at it again in his studio at Dromana – inventing stuff to help fellow artists. Barber’s widely praised redesigning of the artist’s easel, which had basically remained unchanged for hundreds of years, attracted public attention in 2012. His ARTristic easel, which allows a canvas or board to revolve 360 degrees and be set on any angle, has revolutionised the way artists work and been sold around the world. Now he’s created a free website to help peninsula artists promote their work, and a system to teach them how to build and run websites. Barber, who migrating to Australia in 1963 at age 20 with $100 in his pocket and later co-founded the seminal Australian rock ‘n’ roll band Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, has written 35 books for children and adults, designed soft toys and paper sculptures, and been a children’s literacy and behavioural consultant. Barber and his wife Sue moved to the peninsula from Melbourne several years ago. He planned to finally concentrate on his painting and paper sculptures but increasingly was asked
to provide creative marketing advice, encouragement and mentoring to his new artist friends. “This is one the most exciting but challenging times in history for artists and artisans,” he said. “However, unless you have basic camera, computer and marketing skills, for most artists it can be a daunting task to take full advantage of the internet.” Barber has been a computer buff for many years, and his artists’ website allows users to click on any of the 40 peninsula towns and find photos, artwork, biographies and contact details of artist and artisans. He plans to add video tutorials, news about workshops, and marketing and internet advice including where to buy new and secondhand art materials and equipment. “Peninsula galleries, art societies and community groups can add their details for free, but only to promote local artists and artisans,” he said. “Art galleries have to come to terms with the internet and become more innovative, learn new marketing techniques and work in a tighter, more equal and collaborative partnership than they have in the past with the artists they represent.
Art online: Tony Barber shows painter Judy Ager the benefits of putting her art on the internet. Mr Barber has created a free website for peninsula artists and artisans, and is showing artists how to create their own websites. Picture: Yanni
“A gallery owner recently told me he represented 150 artists but did not want them to create and control their own websites. “I told him there was no way he could successfully keep that many artists in work. ‘While you use them as the face of your business, they struggle to keep painting’.” Barber said he can teach an artist with basic computer skills to create and manage a website in two hours. One of the first artists he helped was Judy Ager (www.judyagerartist.com).
“I was astounded at how enjoyable, stress-free and empowering the process was,” she said. “I can make alterations and add to a website I built myself. It’s almost as much fun as painting.” Barber also makes videos for artists and art societies, and loads them on YouTube. “YouTube is effectively the largest and most-watched television station in the world and the only one where you can place an advertisement about your art and pay nothing.”
Barber gives free talks to art societies, art clubs and community groups. “My wife says I need to keep my mind active as I get older,” he said with a grin. His topics include selling art on the internet, selling art with QR codes, converting paintings to cards and posters, and finding out if anyone has copied your art.

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 long-term, 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.

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.” Keith Platt
Dine out: At the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Australia Day dinner were, from left, Holt MP Anthony Byrne, South East Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich, Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor and Muslim association president Javed Safder Chaoudhary.
Changed use: The old Leisureland Fair at Langwarrin is the headquarters of Ahmadiyya Muslim Association and its Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque.
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. Chris Brennan

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 Elmo’s, which is a brilliant modernist example from the two masters of Australian architecture. Literally metres from the famed Butterfly House, St Elmo’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, 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.

DESIGNED to accommodate the needs of a growing family, this splendid home has cleverly zoned living areas to ensure everyone has their own space. No expense has been spared in the finish of this home, from the main entrance that creates a superb first impression, through to the professionally landscaped gardens at the rear of the property. There is a formal living room at the front that would also make a great home theatre room, but the real action is towards the back, where a spacious family zone overlooks the gardens and has access out to a covered patio. The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and island bench with stone counter tops. In the adjacent dining room is reverse cycle heating and cooling. There are four big bedrooms, each of which would easily accommodate a king or queen-sized bed, while the main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. There would also be space for a study desk in the remaining three bedrooms.

AROUND THE REGION
Many eyes on battle of Frankston By Mike Hast THE Liberal Party preselection battle for Frankston electorate is shaping as a key moment in the lead-up to the state election later this year. The Liberal-Nationals Coalition holds 44 seats in the 88-member lower house. Labor has 43 seats with former Liberal and now independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw holding the balance of power. Ousting Mr Shaw from his seat and replacing him with a Liberal is high on the list of Coalition ambitions. Since Mr Shaw resigned from the parliamentary Liberal Party last March and declared himself an independent, local Liberals have been busy behind the scenes looking for a suitable candidate to take on the maverick MP. Other Liberals, including members of the party’s Frankston South branch, have staunchly supported Mr Shaw during his troubles. Mr Shaw was facing 23 charges of obtaining financial advantage by deception and one charge of misconduct in public office over use of his government car and fuel card for his hardware business but the Director of Public Prosecutions abandoned the case late last year, stating “there is not a reasonable prospect of a criminal conviction”. Mr Shaw’s case is still before the powerful Parliamentary Privileges Committee, which suspended investigations last year when the legal case was still alive. The nine-member committee, which is dominated by the government,
Swapped: Geoff Shaw was elected as the Liberal MP for Frankston but has since declared himself as an independent.
recently resumed its investigation into whether Mr Shaw’s use of his parliamentary vehicle represented an abuse of the privileges of parliament. The committee has three likely courses of action – fine, suspend or expel Mr Shaw. Frankston is held by a slender margin of 0.6 per cent following a redrawing of electoral boundaries that brought Labor-leaning Frankston North and Belvedere Park into the electorate. There could be as many as six candidates vying for Liberal preselection, although only four names were known by branch members when The Times went to press. Candidates include Sean Armistead
Not this time: Former mayor Brian Cunial has withdrawn from the race to be the Liberal Party’s candidate for Frankston.
and Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor. Mr Armistead, a former Frankston resident who has family in the area. He ran as the Liberal candidate in the seat of Melbourne at last year’s federal poll, gaining 23 per cent of first preferences in the seat won by the Greens Adam Bandt and winning praise for his campaign. Mr Armistead works for Crown casino and is a member of the state government’s Responsible Gambling Ministerial Advisory Council. Former Frankston mayor and current South Ward councillor Brian Cunial was touted as a possible candidate last year but withdrew earlier this month. “I’ve been a policeman for 30 years
and our kids are now 24, 23 and 20, and they're getting married and buying houses,” he said. “I want to spend more time with the family as I was often at work when they were growing up.” Cr Cunial said he and his wife Diana plan to travel overseas once a year, and he wanted to spend more time fishing and gardening. The 53-year-old son of Italian migrants said he had ruled out running for state parliament “for the time being”. Nominations for Liberal candidates closed on Friday. A decision could take between four and eight weeks.
Mayor wants to be an MP FRANKSTON’S mayor Cr Darrel Taylor is aiming to be the Liberal Party’s candidate for Frankston electorate at the November state election. Cr Taylor nominated for preselection last week and if chosen will take on rebel MP Geoff Shaw. Cr Taylor, who rejoined the Liberal Party in January after keaving before the 2012 council election, said he had been encouraged by many members of the community and local Liberal Party members to seek preselection and take on Geoff Shaw. Cr Taylor said he had not yet decided when he would step down as mayor if he won preselection but it would be a “reasonable time before the writs for the election are issued”. “No one is more shocked than me about what has happened in the past two years, ” Cr Taylor said, referring to running for the council in 2012, winning a seat in South Ward, being elected mayor last November, and now being asked to run for state parliament. But not all Frankston councillors are happy about Cr Taylor’s nomination. Cr Colin Hampton told The News Cr Taylor’s move takes the council back to the days of the so-called “moccasin wars” of the mid-2000s when councillors divided along Liberal and Labor party lines. Cr Hampton said Cr Taylor promised not to run for parliament or get involved with state politics when lobbying for the mayoralty last year. But Cr Taylor said he gave no guarantee. Mike Hast

Elderly flasher runs into trouble THERE were ifs and butts aplenty for two undercover female police officers who dressed up as joggers in a successful mission to track down a wigwearing serial flasher in Frankston South last week. Police had received reports of an elderly cyclist flashing his backside at women in Rosedale Grove, Paratea, Sybil and Alicudi avenues over a three-week period. In an effort to flush out the flasher, the two female officers donned joggers and tracksuits and hit the streets at 6am on Tuesday last week. The sting quickly bore fruit as the alleged mooner appeared on his bicyle. But the officers got more than they bargained for when he dropped his trousers and flashed his buttocks at them. A 73-year-old man gave himself up without incident after the undercover joggers identified themselves as police officers. He was taken into custody and questioned at Frankston police station. He is expected to be charged on summons with indecent exposure. Following the arrest, a further four women came forward to report similar incidents. Anyone else who has witnessed a similar incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
No brake and enter A FRANKSTON man has accidently crashed his car into his own home, narrowly missing his wife in the process. The man had stopped at the top of the driveway to his Reservoir Rd unit to place his garbage bin in the boot when the car suddenly rolled forward as he got back in, crashing through the front wall into the lounge room. His wife had been sitting near the impact site but had left the room moments earlier to make a cup of tea. The elderly couple was taken to hospital for treatment for minor injuries and shock. The crash also took out a gas meter on the property, forcing an evacuation of the immediate neighbourhood while fire brigade officers sealed off the gas leak. Frankston SES volunteers later attended the home to prop up the wall and secure the premises. Picture: Gary Sissons

Healthy Living Forget hours at the gym, 30 minutes does the trick
25 25
By Judy Mawson of Curves Mornington FORGET working out two hours a day. Just 30 minutes three times a week is all that is needed for women to become fit and strong. A scientifically proven 30-minute workout is one of the key ingredients behind the global success of the Curves women’s fitness and weight loss clubs. According to Curves’ Director of Exercise and Research, Katie Mitchell, the use of hydraulic resistance exercise equipment is integral to the Curves 30-minute workout. “Most women only have a small amount of time to fit exercise into their schedule so every minute counts,” she said. “That’s why the Curves Circuit includes hydraulic resistance equipment. This type of equipment gives women the ability to strength train opposing muscle groups at the same time. Doing two exercises on the one machine simultaneously cuts down workout time.” “Hydraulic resistance equipment is also generally safer than free weights because women are not required to pick up and put down heavy weights. This makes hydraulic resistance safe and effective for all fitness levels.” About Curves Mornington Curves Mornington is a fully staffed facility with trainers on the circuit with you to ensure correct technique for optimum results and to motivate you through your workout. We offer a caring and supportive environment for women where we work closely with you to achieve your personal health and fitness goals. We are a complete club that offers diet plus exercise and motivation all in the one place. We are a Smart Club offering our technologically advanced personal coaching system that gives

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.

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
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
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.

Skye is falling as Balnarring digs in SUB-DISTRICT
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. Frankston YCW needs to take 19 wickets on day two of its match against Carrum Downs this weekend. The Stonecats are one of four teams pushing for a spot in the top bracket
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.
