MORNINGTON pier was the place to be last week as a four-day onslaught of searing temperatures forced young people out of their homes in search of watery relief. But it wasn’t just the cool waters of Port Phillip that made the peninsula such an enticing destination over the course of the heatwave, with bayside suburbs and towns south of Melbourne receiving temperatures 4-5 degrees lower than the city. As Melbourne CBD was baking in 44-degree heat on Thursday and Friday, Mornington peaked at a little more comfortable 39.7 degrees, while minimum night temperatures dropped to a bearable 23 degrees, compared to the sticky 28-degree overnight low suffered in the city. While the heatwave was punishing enough for peninsula residents and holidaymakers, the reprieve from the more extreme temperatures endured less than 20 kilometres away rendered conditions merely unpleasant, rather than life threatening.

increase of almost 50 per cent in the number of heart attacks suffered in Melbourne, while hundreds of people were treated for heat stress. However, a major talking point during the heatwave was the number of children’s lives put at risk by being locked in cars, with Ambulance Victoria called out to more than 50 incidents. Ambulance officials, police and politicians – as well as the general public – expressed shock at the behaviour. The heat evaporated almost as suddenly as it arrived when a cool change swept across the peninsula on Friday afternoon and sent temperatures plummeting by almost 15 degrees in less than an hour. Saturday’s maximum was just 21 degrees, almost half the top temperature of just 24 hours earlier. One lasting legacy sure to impact residents across the state will be arriving soon in the form of higher energy bills, with power companies charging “premium� rates over peak energy use periods.

Freeway fire ‘arson’ By Mike Hast POLICE and the CFA are investigating a deliberately lit fire that destroyed the cafe of the historic Heronswood property and threatened dozens of homes in Dromana last Tuesday. A CFA spokesman said there were at least two ignition points on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway near the Latrobe Parade overpass that started a blaze at about 5.45pm, the first day of a four-day heatwave over 41 degrees. Fireys aboard 10 CFA pumpers and 30 other vehicles from many Mornington Peninsula and Western Port group brigades raced to the blaze in bush in the median strip of the freeway. CFA investigators were at the scene within 30 minutes of ignition. With a strong southerly wind blowing, the fire quickly jumped the freeway and burnt through bushland, setting alight an area known by local fireys as Wonga Gully between the freeway and Point Nepean Rd. Fire controller Captain Ben Griffiths of Dromana fire brigade said pumpers were sent to guard properties in Burton, Hearn and Howitt streets, which run west off Latrobe Parade, as embers rained down on properties. Police blocked the freeway and all surrounding roads as the fire spread. Heronswood cafe with its thatched roof, built in 1996 of Tootgarook Swamp trees, and rammed earth walls came under ember attack and caught fire. It was destroyed, despite the efforts of ground crews and a waterbombing helicopter, which dropped about seven loads including next to the cafe as well as on a spot fire in Rudduck St. (The CFA does not wa-
terbomb buildings as the weight would destroy a structure.) Also lost was an office above the cafe, which contained four filing cabinets with about 25,000 garden and plant slides taken over 36 years by Clive Blazey, who with his wife Penny bought Heronswood in 1983 and founded the acclaimed Diggers Club, which promotes “traditional” gardening and preserves heritage food plants. Talei Kenyon of Diggers said fireys did a fantastic job saving the 1870s picturesque Gothic house and ornamental gardens. “The house is now owned by a trust and it could not afford to rebuild as it would cost at least $10 million,” she said. A kitchen garden near the cafe was severely damaged and a 140-year-old Moreton Bay fig tree had 30 per cent of its canopy singed. Sprinklers in the garden were switched on soon after the cafe caught fire. Ms Kenyon said the 70-seat cafe would be rebuilt but would not have a thatched roof as building rules changed after Black Saturday in 2009. Heronswood has gained permission to serve meals to visitors in a marque on the pool lawn in what is usually a private area. Ms Kenyon said Diggers had received more than 1500 messages of support from overseas and Australia. A CFA spokesman said the authority received “multiple calls about a fire along the median strip near Latrobe Parade”. “Many homes in the area survived due to the hard work by firefighters,” he said.
“Water pressure was a problem so several booster points were set up.” The fire was declared out at 11.20pm by Captain Griffiths but the last units did not leave until 4am on Wednesday after blacking out work, with special attention paid to the cafe. Unmarked police cars have been patrolling the southern peninsula since the warmer weather started and in particular during the heatwave last week when several small fires were believed to have been started deliberately. Police said residents can call 000 if they see anyone behaving suspiciously.

Fire evacuation plan for animals By Keith Platt BRENDA Marmion was preparing to evacuate her Dromana property last Tuesday when a fire broke out in the median strip of Mornington Peninsula Freeway and spread to the historic Heronswood property. But leaving her house is not as simple as grabbing the family photo album and laptop – there are the animals to think about. Ms Marmion has been running Crystal Ocean Wildlife Centre at Dromana since 2000 and in the past few weeks has found it particularly difficult caring for sick, injured and abandoned critters. Last week’s heat wave would have been a crisis at the best of times, but Ms Marmion, 70, has been hospitalised twice in three weeks with a cardio-vascular complaint that could be life threatening. She acknowledges the seriousness of her condition, but fears for the welfare of the many animals under her care. Doctors have particularly warned her to make sure she is not scratched, which can be a problem for someone dedicated to the animals’ welfare. Luckily, firefighters were able to stop the fire spreading and Ms Marmion and her charges were able to stay put, but the following days of 40 degree plus temperatures saw her placing her own wellbeing in jeopardy. Some animals and birds have been handed over to other wildlife carers, but her house has become something of a Noah’s Ark, with different species being brought in to avoid the heat.

Those that remain outside have to be hosed down every half hour or so. Volunteers help Ms Marmion look after the wildlife centre, with some being rostered on morning and afternoon. But after so many years as a wildlife carer – she started 25 years ago in Queensland – Ms Marmion cannot take a back seat. “They’re wonderful, absolutely brilliant and were here when I was in hospital,” she said of the volunteers. “But I did nag the doctors to let me out.” Not one to miss an opportunity, Ms Marmion saw collection tins at Beleura Hospital reception desk while waiting to see a cardiologist and asked if
she could add one for Crystal Ocean. “I can’t ease up,” she said. “I’m trying to be careful and they [the volunteers] keep telling me to sit down.” Possums, a glider, various birds (including an eastern rosella found floating in a swimming pool) and a bat are being cared for at the wildlife centre. “The rosella had gone into the pool during the heat and was floating with its wings spread out. It would have got wet and drowned.” Crystal Clear’s Facebook page documents in words and photos the comings and goings of various animals, and enables people to inquire about the progress of distressed animals in-
cluding birds they have been taken in for care. Unfortunately, the page sometimes provides sad news about animals that did not make it. At the height of last week’s heatwave Ms Marmion wrote: “Just been out with a torch to check on the outside wildlife. Aura and Bambi the juvenile brushtails have temporarily been put in the rabbit’s pen, which, being wood, is easier to keep cool than their aviary. Merlin the tawny frogmouth was busy catching moths. Strange that the other two, who came into care slightly older, don’t appear to have that instinct yet … They and the others have survived the strong heat today. Now there is thunder and lightning, but no rain as yet.” Underneath a photo: “My very special new patient, a juvenile grey headed flying fox found caught up in bird netting over a fruit tree.” And information: “If you find heat stressed wildlife, please pick up carefully and, not endangering yourself, place in wet tea towel or towel and ring me or any other wildlife carer as to what to do. Only drip water into the mouth if bird or animal is lying on its side, and then just a little at a time. Most affected will be ringtails who do not normally come down to the ground to drink so they literally fall out of the trees.” Crystal Clear Wildlife Centre runs entirely on donations of money and supplies, and information about making donations is available on the Facebook page.
Pets in line of fire MORNINGTON Peninsula residents and property owners have been urged to ensure they have adequate fire emergency plans in place for pets and livestock in additional to those for family members. The Department of Environment and Primary Industries has warned peninsula residents and primary producers to consider the safety and welfare of animals well in advance of bushfires or other emergencies. DEPI animal health and welfare operations manager Robert Suter said it was vital adequate planning was in place as moving pets and livestock during an emergency could be particularly challenging and time-consuming. Recent fire events had shown people planning to leave their properties had taken far longer to get ready than they had expected, resulting in delays that had often ended in tragedy. “Too often in the past, last-minute efforts to save animals have led to tragedy for both humans and animals,” Dr Suter said. “If you are planning to evacuate your animals, you must make preparations now – before the emergency – in order to avoid chaos and confusion later. “This plan needs to include all of your animals – pets and livestock – and prevention measures to minimise the impact of the emergency.” Guidelines at www.depi.vic.gov. au/fire-and-emergencies/animals-inemergencies.

Wally a champion on and off the field OBITUARY Walter Owen (Wally) Wedgwood, 1943-2014 All-round sportsman, sporting goods seller, community worker. By Mike Hast WALLY Wedgwood, one of the Mornington Peninsula’s great sportsmen, has died at the age of 71 after a short battle with cancer. Mr Wedgwood was a natural athlete who played top-level football, cricket, baseball, squash and, in his later years, lawn bowls. He also owned and operated Wedgwood Sports and Cycles, Mornington’s premier sporting goods store, which he sold to Peter Seal (Sealy’s Cycles) eight years ago before “retiring” at age 63. Mr Wedgwood was also known for his community work as a member of Mornington and then Mt Martha Rotary clubs as well as Peninsula Family Services, a division of the Anglican Church’s Anglicare. Mr Wedgwood bought Kingsbury’s sporting goods store in the 1960s when in his early 20s and later renamed it Wedgwood Sports and Cycles. Anyone who owned or aspired to own a bicycle knew Wedgwood’s. The town’s bike owners always knew they’d get a good deal from Wally, who often would take no money for helping a kid with his bike. The store in Main St was an Aladdin’s cave of sporting goods and apparel – everything from badminton to lawn bowls and go-karting with
bicycles and cycling accessories dominating. There was camping gear, canoes and kayaks, diving equipment and supplies, fitness equipment, and everything needed for fishing. Mr Wedgwood was a champion schoolboy athlete, and football and cricket dominated his adult sporting life. He played for North Melbourne Cricket Club as a young man, the
club of his father, Walter Bernard Wedgwood, who played for Victoria in 1929 and 1930, and later was a major influence in the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association as a player and administrator. The Wedgwood Medal, given to the best and fairest MPCA player each year, is named after his father. In the early days of the sports store,
Mr Wedgwood would close the shop at midday, jump in his car and race up to North Melbourne to open the batting for his team. This became too much and he reluctantly resigned from the club and joined Mt Eliza, which he served for many years as a player and administrator, later being awarded life membership. MPCA general manager Paul Pelzer wrote on the association’s website last week: “Wally represented the MPCA in Country Week from 1969 until 1975 and played in the famous 1972 group A premiership side where he top-scored with 21 runs out of the MPCA’s total score of 69.” The team bowled out Leongatha for 37 to win the title. “Wally also served as a member of the MPCA executive and as a senior selector from 1972 until 1976,” Mr Pelzer said. In winter, Mr Wedgwood turned his attention to football, and was a key member of Frankston Football Club’s senior team in his youth. At one stage he sought a clearance to Mornington but was refused, Frankston compromising and allowing him to transfer to the less powerful Somerville club. Mr Wedgwood co-founded Mornington Baseball Club, the Pirates, and was vice-president 197576 as well as a keen player. His wife Sue (the couple married in 1966) said Wally played A grade squash for Mornington and later pennant lawn bowls with Mt Martha. Mr Wedgwood joined Mornington Rotary in the 1970s and later the
Mt Martha club where he was president and held other positions on the executive. He was a recipient of Rotary’s Paul Harris Award for service to the community. Wedgwood Sports and Cycles had a long history of supporting community groups through the donation of bicycles and other sporting goods for raffles. Mr Wedgwood was chairman of the community advisory committee of Peninsula Family Services. Sue Wedgwood said it was not well known that her husband mentored many people over a long period. Mr Wedgwood is survived by his wife Sue, daughters Jane, Anne and Sally and their partners Terry, Chris and Andrew, six grandchildren, and sister Helen. The family’s bereavement notice included: “A strong and courageous man whose wisdom and loving support we could always depend upon.” The Rotary Club of Mt Martha’s notice stated: “Generous benefactor to many, wise counsellor to all and a life of service to others.” His funeral was held at New Peninsula Baptist Church in Mt Martha on Tuesday followed by a private cremation. Mourners donated to Peninsula Hospice. “It can be difficult sometimes for business people to balance work, family and community involvement, but one of my favorite sayings is: if you want something done, ask a busy person.” – Wally Wedgwood

Western Port’s sealed history By Keith Platt FROM many of the beaches and cliffs of the peninsula side of Western Port, the dark bumps on the horizon can be imagined as a half-submerged tail of Phillip Island. On days of a big swell, the bumps are covered by walls of white water and spray gets flung into the air as if by a giant fountain. Close up, the bumps take on a less mystical appearance: solid, dark basalt, eroded by the constant battering by the elements, mainly the sea. Dangerous to sailors, the rocks are home to thousands of seals, hence their name: Seal Rocks. These days a tourist attraction in its own right, the outcrop also has a place in the history of Western Port, both before and after European exploration, exploitation and settlement. Author Ruth Gooch saw the relevance of Seal Rocks to Western Port’s relatively recent past while researching her book, Frontier French Island (PMI Press, Melbourne, 2006). Much smaller than the island with the European name, the two islets that make up Seal Rocks do not hide the reason for attracting attention: the Australian fur seals that live on their stormy flanks were an accessible source of oil, meat and fur. Slaughtering seals was easy for anyone armed with just a wooden club. Most sealers would also hunt their prey in Tasmania and among the islands of Bass Strait. Gooch notes that seals have never returned to many of the islands, but
usually lies somewhere in between. While anecdotes by sealers, sailors, settlers and government officers can be entertaining, Gooch is wary of “Chinese whispers”. “Be cautious about oral history, look for confirmation from primary sources. I always acknowledge if something is either written or oral history,” she said last week from her Hastings home. “I like to go a bit wider than the topic. My book about French Island has a lot to do with the Church of England, which didn’t have a building on the island but there was a congregation.” Her research into the island’s past led to photographs and a French Island Progress Association minute book in the bottom of a tea chest belonging to a former resident. Gooch chose to write about French Island “because there was nothing available about it”. The manuscript for a book about Cape Schanck is now with the printer and a lengthy article about Quail Island (also in Western Port) is being prepared for the Victorian Historical Journal. “Quail Island was fascinating, as is every place if you are interested enough in digging [its history] up.” For more information about the books of Ruth Gooch go to www. ruth-gooch.com or write to PO Box 54, Hastings 3915.
Seal Rocks continues to support a healthy population. The sealers were among the most frequent Europeans to make landfall in Tasmania, and Gooch relates many accounts about their interaction with Aborigines. The Aborigines were fascinated by the sealers’ dogs, which, according to official sources, the “chiefs” were willing to trade for items of value, including women. One account by the chief protector of Aborigines, George Augustus Robinson, tells of a group of 25 Aborigines being accompanied by 100 dogs. Luckily for the seals, the products made from their flesh and hide eventually became available more cheaply and easily from other sources. But for the time they were hunted, they provided the impetus for many people and boats to enter Western Port. However, life for the seals was often precarious with successive generations of fishermen blaming them for poor catches and calling on the government to carry out a cull. Of course the fishermen would ignore arguments that the seals were in Western Port at the same time that fish were plentiful. Gooch’s book provides illuminating insight into the settlement by Europeans of Western Port. A librarian who lists her interests as literature, philosophy and classical astrology, she warns against the subjective nature of written and oral histories, knowing that the truth

Bushy Park sets record THE sale of a Hastings property on Graydens Rd last week was the highest reported sale price for any property sold in the 3915 postcode during the past 12 months. The 22-hectare property Bushy Park has been owned by the Hodgins family since 1905 and has been home to current owner, Don Hodgins, for the past 70 years. Mr Hodgins and his wife Hild live in a magnificent reproduction of Oak Alley, an historic mansion on the banks of the Mississippi River in Louisiana in the United States. Built in 2001, the home has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and an elevator. The property was advertised at $3.3 million and sold for a higher but undisclosed amount. Mr Hodgins believes the sale eclipses anything he can remember in his time on the property, possibly establishing a sales record for the area. The sale was handled by Harcourts Real Estate of Hastings. Mr Hodgins praised the sales team. “We could not be happier with the result and the service from Harcourts. At all times they were courteous and very considerate,” Mr Hodgins said. Listing agent and Harcourts owner Jason Dowler also set a record for the highest sale price he has personally achieved in his 12 years in the industry. “The property was on the market for about 45 days and was sold to a peninsula buyer for a sum well in excess of the advertised price,” Mr Dowler said.

Frankston Hospital leads reform drive By Chris Brennan FRANKSTON Hospital has recorded dramatic improvements in emergency department treatment and ambulance transfer waiting times following the introduction of a range of new procedures. Health Minister David Davis said the hospital had achieved a 24 per cent improvement in patient transfer times over the past three months of 2013 compared to the same period a year earlier, despite handling an extra 1254 patients, which represented a 9 per hike. “At Frankston, the percentage of patients transferred within 40 minutes of arrival at the hospital went up from 51.3 per cent in the September 2012 quarter to 75.3 per cent in the September 2013 quarter,” Mr Davis said. Preliminary data showed an 86 per cent drop in the number of emergency department patients with a length of stay greater than 24 hours. “The September 2012 quarter recorded 665 patients staying longer than 24 hours. By the September 2013 quarter, this had dropped to 94 patients,” Mr Davis said. Hospital operator Peninsula Health, which also runs Rosebud Hospital, said a range of new initiatives had been introduced following extensive consultation with staff, Ambulance
Victoria and the Ambulance Transfer Taskforce, which handed down a number of recommendations late last year aimed at improving the time it took to transfer ambulance patients to hospitals. Peninsula Health chief operating officer Brendon Gardner said Frankston Hospital managers had worked closely with taskforce chairman Andrew Stripp and had introduced trials for a number of the recommendations, which will be introduced to hospitals across the state later this year. He said the hospital’s staff had played the most significant role in identifying and implementing a range of “innovative and highly effective” measures that had drastically improved patient transfer and treatment times. “The improvement can be attributed to the fantastic efforts of our staff who have identified some new approaches to treating our patients in the emergency department and on the wards,” he said. “For example, these include a renewed focus on our discharge planning, and placing some additional resources at the front of the department to assist with the arrival of ambulance patients. “It has been reaffirming that, despite a 9 per cent increase in presentations,
these efforts are resulting in reduced waiting times and time spent in the emergency department for all of our patients.” The state government has been looking for solutions to help ease the strain on the state’s “gridlocked” health system, with Ambulance Victoria figures showing patients were being forced to wait longer than ever before to be transferred to emergency departments. Frankston Hospital, which has Victoria’s highest number of ambulance presentations, was last year identified as having the state’s worst-affected emergency department. Mr Davis said recommendations from the Ambulance Transfer Taskforce, which call for greater delineation between the responsibilities of Ambulance Victoria and hospital emergency departments, as well enhancing information sharing across the system, would be progressively introduced during 2014. “These early figures are very encouraging and it is important for all Victorians to be aware of the work that has been done to achieve such positive results,” Mr Davis said. “The Ambulance Transfer Taskforce recommended that patients who need urgent care be taken to the nearest appropriate emergency department, with hospitals immediately assuming re-

sponsibility for that patient’s care.” Information sharing between emergency departments and Ambulance Victoria was also being enhanced, with the introduction of ambulance arrival board technology at major metropolitan emergency departments. Mr Davis announced last week that peninsula residents could now have “greater confidence in the provision of medical services” thanks to emergency cardiac angiography services being made available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at Frankston Hospital. He said Frankston Hospital’s oncology day treatment centre would be expanded further this year to provide four extra treatment chairs, taking the total to 15. “This expansion of services provides patients with cardiac-related issues with treatment outside of normal hours, rather than being sent to other health services, which has occurred in the past,” Mr Davis said. “Work on the $81 million Frankston Hospital redevelopment is progressing well. “The new emergency department will have double the floor space of the existing facility, and will see an increase in the number of treatment spaces and the capacity of the shortstay unit.”

Symphony follows note of discord By Terri Lee Fatouros PAUL Dillon – actor, musician and entertainer – was 29 when he arrived in Australia from Dorset, England, nearly 20 years ago. With two pounds in his pocket, a guitar strapped to his back and his girlfriend along for the journey, he began making his mark in the land that he now lovingly calls home. A talented muso and actor who wrote plays and music, work eventually lead Dillon to live permanently on the Mornington Peninsula. After meeting Pat Lamana of Banana Lamana Productions, he landed the lead role of Jesus Christ in a passion play, a part suiting his spiritual nature. He refers to Jesus Christ by the Hebrew or Aramaic name, Yeshua, a figure he says has featured “magically� throughout his life. Dillon believes Christ encompassed the wholeness of male and female, and was a balanced spiritual being – the place where humans need to be, balanced. Praying to Christ works for Dillon and has led him to a deep sense of wholeness, contentment and peace within. After connecting with other likeminded musicians, Dillon started Balnarring music nights with Marty Williams in the Balnarring Hall. For the past 10 years it has run every fortnight on a Wednesdays between 8 and 11pm. “For those who get confused, like me, it’s when the blue recycling bins are out,� Dillon said with a grin. The music nights are for people wanting to get up and have a go: recite a poem, sing, tell a story, explore an idea or dance. “We’ve had young kids sharing their first guitar lesson to the likes of Grammy Award winner Wally De Backer, better known as singing sensation Gotye.� His latest project is a children’s musical and book about the environment entitled The Symphony. It’s based on fact with a lot of fiction thrown in. The narrative involves five frogs and five girls, a bit like The Famous Five meets The Wind in the Willowscum-eco adventure. The play was hailed a success when performed last year at Frankston Arts Centre by Balnarring Primary School. The Symphony is about Balnarring’s Balbirooroo Wetland being polluted when thoughtless workers dispose of toxic waste. A group of pobblebonk frogs get itchy skin from the waste,

pack their green suitcases and go in search of a cleaner wetland. This magical wetland is held together on a micro scale by the spider Sticky Webster who, every morning with her spider helpers, weaves beautiful webs in the gums trees to catch the morning due. Each dewdrop in the web is a magical musical note that makes up The Symphony. Each animal in the wetland, tiny or large, is given a web, which is the tune they have to sing for the day. The story focus on the enlightened journey the central characters experience to reach a wise state of mind and how they create a balanced resolve. It’s ephemeral and Dillon feels he absorbed it from the dreamtime. Apparently Balnarring and surrounding areas have strong “frog dreaming� and Dillon claims that on the other side of the peninsula, Tootgarook Swamp is in danger of being wiped out. He said wetlands have a high cultural significance for the Bunurong/Boonerwrung people of the Kulin nation as well as important scientific value as pointed out by Sir Frederick Chapman in 1919. He was Australia’s first nationally appointed paleontologist and a world authority
in the field of ostracods – a type of crustacean. “I feel I’m fortunate as a white person to be able to tap into this magical energy and I’ve been given this idea for a reason,� Dillon said. “It goes deeper than just a children’s play. I want to make an animated movie about the magical interaction of the wetlands and the impact it has on humans. “If you make a movie like this and show it to children, they get excited because it takes them out of their brain. They are choked in technology and this type of movie helps them get connected to their feelings and surrounding environment.� Dillon wants this story to be told because it is about our planet, humans, animals and reconnecting with nature through music, which brings balance into an unbalanced world. The five girls along with the five frogs work out that the human and animal world are out of tune with nature. Singing of the Sun Song returns everyone and everything to the harmonious vibration of nature. Dillon wrote Sun Song a few years ago with his friend Williams while holidaying on Hamilton Island. They sat on the beach in front of the house where former Beatle George Harrison spent time meditating while dying of
cancer. After saying their thanks to Harrison, Dillon sang Here Comes The Sun as tribute to him. Within 10 minutes he got the first few riffs of Sun Song, which he had no idea would be the finale to his play. Harrison was influenced by Indian spiritualism and Dillon tells some disturbing yet fascinating facts about the musical note C. “Did you know that in the mid1800s, middle C was shifted slightly to a flatter note? I don’t know exactly who shifted it or for what purpose, but originally middle C vibrated at 432 hertz, the natural harmonic resonance in nature. Now it vibrates at 440 Hz, slightly out of tune, flatter and known to put us out of balance and prone to creating unconscious irritability within us,� Dillon said. “The proper, normal middle C is still used by indigenous people and in the likes of Tibetan healing bowls. “Science has discovered that everything has a natural vibration that, when not tampered with, vibrates harmoniously together. Everyone and everything vibrates and it’s all tied together with our human symphony, which is slightly out of tune with nature’s natural vibration/symphony. Maybe it was done to detune us. “Think how fundamentally this affects our wellbeing. With middle

C shifted to the right or left of nature in sound, it’s no wonder our western civilisation has done what it’s done. “It might seem very small, but we are talking vibration here and, as quantum physics now knows, our entire existence is made up of vibrations.� Intrigued by Dillon’s comments, I did some research and sure enough there were heaps of websites stating the harmful effects middle C vibrating out of tune have on humans. In 1953, the International Standards Organisation endorsed middle C from 432 to 440Hz. No wonder Dillon feels he has to get his story The Symphony out. It appears the vibration of truth is on his side. Dillon gave his story to a friend who was working on actor Geoffrey Rush’s property who then passed on a copy to Rush. A couple of months later, when leafing through a handfull of bills, he discovered a handwritten letter from Rush thanking him for the script and stating that he was involved in a film in Italy but would like to know if the story went any further. Dillon’s The Symphony is an uplifting inspirational story that should be told because it touches us in a deep and personal way. The truth has a habit of doing that.

Sickening image I ASSUME many Briars Ward constituents are as appalled as I am at the photograph in The News (“Critical blog sparks call for probe”) of a grinning Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor, Andrew Dixon, holding a high-calibre pistol. His target: an Arab with his hands up. This is a sickening and abhorrent image. Cr Dixon is clearly having “fun”. He sets a terrible example as a representative of the shire. On top of this visual obscenity is the accompanying article about Mr Dixon’s blog where he used obscene language about a well-regarded journalist; so obscene that it cannot be printed. Surely such bad behaviour contravenes the state government and shire codes of conduct for councillors? It certainly offended me. Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy should show some leadership instead of “distancing the shire” from Cr Dixon’s juvenile antics. That’s what we pay Dr Kennedy for. Ann Scally, Mt Martha

I FEEL that Cr Andrew Dixon should resign over his photo with a handgun (“Critical blog sparks call for probe”, The News, 14/1/14). The photo shows his disregard of public safety and sends the wrong impression to our youth in the community. On reading the article, it seems that once elected as a councillor he’s become an expert. It’s a disgrace that a person in his position can carry a weapon at the best of times. It’s typical Gen Y: all about them. It seems that Cr Dixon was originally going to vote against the swimming pool at Rosebud and then changed his mind. Now the people he supported for the swimming pool are supporting him over this “gun photo”. Using his type of language, if he had any “balls” he would resign. If not, the people of Briars Ward should vote him out at the next council elections. The Mornington Peninsula News Group should run an editorial campaign against him. I totally agree with David Harrison’s article and his experience as a journalist, and note his senior positions at The Age. Cr Dixon is totally wrong in saying that print media is dead. This paper alone has increased its page numbers mainly due to advertisers; if you don’t have advertisers, you don’t have a newspaper. I have worked in the media for 52 years, mainly in advertising, and I can say honestly that
this newspaper has improved 100 per cent with content, colour printing and advertising over the past 12 months, which would mean that it is well read, with news that readers are looking for and with advertisers gaining results. Cr Dixon may be 26, but his attitude needs to change or his career as a councillor will be short-lived. Peter Curtin, Sorrento
THE Wittingslow Rye foreshore carnival is set to put the fun into fundraising over the Australia Day long weekend, with proceeds from the 27 January event going to the Rosebud Hospital Appeal. The event, from midday-4pm on Rye foreshore, will feature a wide range of free events and entertainment, including cricket and soccer clinics, dancing lessons and face painting as well as food and the drawing of a “monster raffle”, tickets for which can be purchased in advance for $2 each from Rosebud and
Frankston hospitals, and the Rye Hotel. The hospital appeal has raised close to $1.5 million in little over a year, just shy of the $1.75 million needed for urgent renovations, a hospital spokesman said. Donations can also be made by calling 9788 1502, visiting www.peninsulahealth.org.au or in person at Rosebud Hospital. To find out more about the appeal or the charity carnival, visit www.facebook.com/ Rosebudhospitalappeal

Often it is his satirical work that attracts the most interest, especially when it’s one of his entries in the Bald Archy Prize, the satirical portraiture contest that spoofs the Archibald Prize. Sowersby of Seaford has won the Bald Archy People’s Choice award three times – in 1998, 2004 and 2005 with “The Cardinal with his Abbott”, a portrait of Cardinal George Pell and Tony Abbott. Last week’s announcement by federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne that he wanted to reform the national school curriculum inspired the artist’s latest drawing. Mr Pyne has criticised what he describes as too little emphasis on ‘’the non-Labor side of our history’’ in the curriculum. “Concerns have been raised about the history curriculum not recognising the legacy of Western civilisation and not giving important events in Australia’s history and culture the prominence they deserve, such as Anzac Day,” Mr Pyne wrote last week.
Set course for active new year PENINSULA seniors are being urged to put their new year’s resolutions into action and get more active and involved by taking up a course at the University of the Third Age. U3A Southern Peninsula course co-ordinator Di Bell said many older residents wanted to get fit, lose weight, gain knowledge or obtain a wider circle of friends and the university was the perfect place to start. “For seniors living on the Mornington Peninsula, the Christmas and new year period is usually spent with children and grandchildren, but once the holidays are over the days can be long
and rather empty,” she said. With a wide range of courses starting next month, U3A Southern Peninsula was not only able to provide artistic and intellectual stimulation for residents aged 55 and over, but could also open up opportunities to meet new like-minded friends, she said. “At U3A Southern Peninsula, you will find classes catering for all your needs, everything from exercise for the limbs to artistic aspirations or expanding the mind,” Ms Bell said.

Tuneful summer THE cream of the region’s young musical talent was on show at Frankston Arts Centre at a graduation concert for Peninsula Youth Music Society’s summer school program.

TWENTY young peninsula princesses will hit the catwalk over the Australia Day long weekend when Red Hill Couture presents its first ever summer fashion collection. The collection of 74 play wear and party dresses for girls aged two to nine were designed and made in Melbourne by the burgeoning peninsula fashion house. Red Hill Couture director Kelli Cheales said the parade aimed to create an opportunity for young local girls to build confidence and poise as they dressed up in beautiful clothes and paraded before a family friendly audience. “Young models will experience the excitement and thrill of the catwalk with hot spot lights, big dance music and of course, the cameras,” she said. Red Hill Couture was launched in September 2013 by a group of ladies who grew up in Red Hill and learnt their craft at local schools. The fashion range is currently sold from the company’s website at www. redhillcouture.com.au to local and international customers. The fashion parade is on 26 January at Red Hill Community Hall.

THE Mornington Peninsula will play host to an elite internationally recognised equestrian event over the Australia Day long weekend. Equestrian Fashion at Boneo Park, which will be held over three days, is a three-star Concours de Dressage International event, attracting many of the country’s top competitors. The competition will include Equestrian Australia, Para Equestrian, Horse Riding Club Association and Pony Club Association of Victoria rider classes. Shire mayor Antonella Celi said the Mornington Peninsula’s equine industry contributed more than $142 million to the local economy and extended across many levels and disciplines, including dessage. “It’s great that this international-level event is being hosted on the peninsula and heartening to
see that riders of different levels and from various associations will be able to come together and experience the atmosphere of competing at such a high-level event,” she said. “The shire is home to many horse riders and enthusiasts and the council is pleased to help support this event.” Boneo Park managing director Fiona McNaught said the event, which will also feature a farmers’ market and trade show, provided a great range of activities for horse lovers or all ages and abilities. “A farmers market with local produce and wine will be set up from Friday to Sunday offering a variety of different stallholders so there will be plenty to eat, see and do.” The Boneo Park CDI Equestrian Fashion event is on from 24 - 26 January.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
St Paul’s day festival to be held; Frankston motorcycle menace charged Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 24 January 1914 A SPECIAL festival at St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, will be held on Sunday and Monday next, the occasion being the occurrence of St. Paul’s Day. On Sunday special services will be held at 8am and 11am, and 6.55pm. Anthems will be sung by the choir, and an excellent programme has been arranged for Lady Madden’s concert in Frankston on Monday evening. The two wellknown soloists Mr Frederick Earp, and Mr Walter Jennings have already been announced, and now we are to add the name of Mr Walter Kirby, who has not been heard for some years in Frankston, Miss Lesley Madden, and Mrs Baillieu, with Mrs Roberts will prove an attraction too; and a first class comedian has been engaged. The Choral Society also will sing, and the programme will close with a short farce “My Turn Next” to be presented by St Paul’s club. The concert is in aid of St Paul’s Church Frankston. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, on Monday, before Messrs Crawford and Baxter and Captain Sherlock, D. W. Pearce was charged by the police with riding a motor bike along the footpath in Frankston on the 30th December last. A fine of 5s was inflicted. Carriers’ licences were granted to Henry Brockman and C. Schiederker. *** A LARGE property and clearing sale will be conducted by Messrs Alec Scott and Co. at Merricks on account
of Mr H. Hunt on Thursday January 29th. Besides land, dairy cattle, horses and a large quantity of farm implements will be offered. The sale starts at one o’clock sharp. The same firm is also offering for sale Mr Waters 8 Chain Road property, consisting of 113 acres at £4 per acre. *** THE amount of cash actually taken at the gates at the recently held Frankston show was £45. This is a record as far as any statistics that are available indicate. We are also pleased to be able to state that it was announced at a meeting of the show committee on the evening of the 21st inst. that there was a profit in the year’s transaction without encroaching upon the reserve fund. *** CR Oates moved at the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Council that the Hastings Road be brought under the notice of the Country Roads Board, and that they be asked to do it as soon as possible. The motion was carried. *** MR Petty, who addressed the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Associations at their last meeting, said that in his opinion ,West Australia would be great competitors with Victoria in the home fruit markets. They got a better colour, and some Rome Beauties he saw were the best he had ever seen. *** AT the last meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association Mr G. Shepherd moved that steps be taken to get a Saturday goods service, to get the fruit into Melbourne in time for the Monday morning’s market,
and it was decided that the Tyabb Association and Western Port Progress Association be asked to co-operate.
The Irish National League will hold their annual trip on the “briny”at Mornington tomorrow, and Home Rule addresses will be delivered by State and Federal members.
*** THE five men who were arrested at Mornington on the 14th inst. for playing two-up in the rear of the Royal Hotel, were brought up before Dr Somers and Messrs J. G. Barrett, A. E. Bates, and Geo. Flood, and charged with the offence. They were each fined 5s. At the same court, three boys appeared on summons for discharging fireworks in a public thoroughfare, and were bound over
*** MISS Gallavan, Post Mistress at the Frankston post-office, who has been on furlough for some time, resumed her duties last week. The Australian Meat Industry Employees held their 39th annual picnic to Mornington per the P. S. Weeroona on Wednesday last, and had a most enjoyable time. *** TODAY (Saturday) the Federated Ironworkers will hold their annual excursion and picnic at Mornington. *** THE Irish National League will hold their annual trip on the “briny” at Mornington tomorrow (Sunday), and Home Rule addresses will be delivered by State and Federal members. *** AT Shelbourne Park Mornington, the Sisters of Mercy intend holding a Garden Fete on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. The proceeds are in aid of debt on Central Novitiate at Ascot Vale. The fete will be opened by His Grace the Archbishop and the Coadjutor Archbishop (Dr. Mannir) at the Convent Mornington on Wednesday 4th February. For full particulars see our advertising columns next issue. *** THE bazaar and sale of gifts held in connection with St. Peters Church, Mornington, was opened by Mrs Geo. Reid at the Mechanic’s Institute on Thursday afternoon, and continued each evening closing this (Saturday) evening. The bazaar was well attended throughout and a good sum is anticipated. The proceeds will be devoted in renovating the vicarage.
to be of good behaviour for three months. *** ON Monday night last at the Mechanic’s Institute Mornington, before a crowded house the story and original drama For the term of His Natural Life (by Marcus Clarke the Australian Author) was shown by the Kingston Management Picture Company and created intense interest. As each scene appeared on the canvas it was dramatically explained by the lecturer Mr M. J. Bloomfield. The remainder of the pictures were of a highly amusing character and recognized as the best seen at Mornington. The management intend showing weekly for the remainder of the season. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, the Engineer (Mr A. K. T. Sambeil) said that the Country Roads Board had agreed to his proposal that the Point Nepean Road, from Carrum to Frankston, be 18 feet wide. They would break up the existing metal and provide a proper bed of mail or gravel. The existing metal would be re-used. The road would be 15 feet wide from Frankston to Oliver’s Hill. The probable cost would be £9,800, the actual cost to the Council being £300 per annem. Cr Plowman moved that tenders be called for the work on the basis submitted. Cr Oates seconded motion, which was carried. Cr Ritchie said it was a great work, and be was pleased to support the motion. It looked a lot of money, but the Council were loaned half, and great benefits would be derived by increased values.

Cricket and my role in its downfall By Stuart McCullough IT was an object without peer. The Stuart Surridge cricket bat was right up there with a light saber in terms of sheer awesomeness. Indeed, had Luke Skywalker been clutching one of the Surridge family’s finest, he probably could have knocked Darth Vader off in half an hour rather than needing the best part of three whole films. Cricket games at school were always an ordeal and the trial began with the selection of teams. There is no indignity greater than watching as each of your classmates is chosen ahead of you. As the numbers dwindled, the belated sound of my name would send a surge of relief coursing through my veins. I was rarely last, but always a very great distance from first. In addition to hand-eye coordination, those at the top of the order had one thing in common – they had proper cricket bats. These were so much more than mere lumps of wood with a handle. They were absolute works of art. When they removed their cricket bats from their bags, it was like Arthur unsheathing Excalibur. Some of my mates preferred the Gray Nicholls bat, with its revolutionary weight-reducing “scoop”, but not me. I was only interested in a Stuart Surridge. At the time they seemed to cost a fortune and, frankly, there was little in the way I played to suggest this might be a wise investment. The SS was a very solid piece of sporting equipment. While West Indian cricketers could throw these bats around like toothpicks, to a nine year old, it was like
trying to swing a bag of cement. There was no greater test of primary school friendship than to ask to borrow the cricket bat of your classmate. Such requests were often met with a narrowing of the eyes and a shake of the head, as a quick assessment was undertaken
in which the benefit to the team was weighed up against the risk that a lack of skill might be contagious, possibly ruining the bat forever. Unless I wanted to use the cricket bat provided by the school – an anonymous piece of balsawood that sent
SPORTINGBET
reverberations running up your arm when you struck a ball – I would have to bring my own bat. My first bat was a hand-me-down, which would have been all right if I’d had an older brother. Rather, the first bat I owned was handed down from a far greater height. It had belonged to my father and was the only bat at our entire primary school to have been classified by the National Trust. Time had turned it a ripe, brown colour. The grip on the handle was made of thread rather than rubber and, over the years, it had become as slippery as a pair of bad suit pants. Attempts to hoist the ball over the infield would often result in the bat escaping my grip and travelling at speed towards the forehead of whoever was standing at mid-wicket. My teammates took their revenge when we fielded: I was either placed so far away that I needed to catch a bus to get there, or so close as to defy the instinct for human survival. The position of “silly mid on” is something of an understatement. As far as I was concerned, this was a position better described as “human piñata”. Or, if you prefer, “target practice”. Cricket was such a serious affair. Kids lugged huge bags full of equipment to school and back, dragging them through the car park. There were pads, gloves, helmets and “boxes” – in spite of the fact that we were using a tennis ball and, truth be told, in primary school there’s not much to protect. I didn’t bother asking to borrow one. If you can’t borrow somebody’s bat, they’re unlikely to loan you their box. I never really enjoyed those matches.
I vastly preferred the games we played at home. Despite the numbers, we never divided into teams. It was always a case of one batsman versus everybody else. To this day, after family meals, there is a procession from the house to the back of the yard where the pitch lies waiting. When last I played, I was with my brothers, father and my nephews. It made me smile as I watched them haul their bags of gear across the paddock, before putting on pads, gloves and helmets. My turn to bat came when I took a catch, not because I was picked. I then disgraced myself by sending the ball sailing over into the paddock with the long grass, meaning that it could only be retrieved by sliding under an electric fence. Say what you will about cricket, but the addition of an electric fence adds a new dimension. The next half hour was spent walking up and down through long grass trying to find a brown ball rather than a brown snake. It gets the pulse racing in a way that regular cricket rarely does. I guess that’s the difference with family – there is no selection process. You don’t have to wait until somebody picks you. They accept you regardless. At the next family function, I’ll be sure to head up to the nets. I’ll pick up that old brown bat and do my best to belt the cover off a tennis ball. But whether I send it into the long grass or have a swing and a miss won’t matter at all. It’s being part of the game that really counts. www.stuartmccullough.com

Sorras rolled in Provincial boilover PROVINCIAL By IT Gully IN the shock upset of MPCA Provincial round 8, Sorrento have already lost their match against Heatherhill on first innings. Played at Baxter Park, the Sorras won the toss and elected to bat. However, only three of the visitors’ batsmen managed to reach double figures and the team was rolled for just 107 in 31.1 overs. Skipper Nick Jewell was out for 37, Leigh Poholke top-scored with 38 and Mark Dunball made 11. Six Sorrento batsmen, including Anthony Blackwell, failed to make a single run. To say it was a bad day for the Sorras was certainly an understatement. Hills’ skipper Matty Meagher was simply superb. Meagher bowled just 12.1 overs and finished with the sensational figures of 5/23. He snared the wickets of the top five batsmen, which included Falck, Jewell, Liam O’Connor, Blackwell and Poholke. While Meagher was taking care of business at the top of the Sorrento
order, Steven O’Donnell, in his third game back in the first XI, was finishing things off at the tail, capturing 4/13 from just four overs. Sorrento will be hoping to roll Heatherhill cheaply this weekend, make some quick runs themselves and then try and take a further 10 Hills’ wickets. All this in 80 overs. It won’t happen! Heatherhill are in total control of this match at 5/150, Nathan Martin unbeaten on 64 and Randil Gamage with him on 28. Langwarrin set Baxter a monster task of scoring 302 for victory in their Provincial round 8 clash at Baxter Park. The Kangas changed up their top order and it paid dividends, with David Ross getting some muchneeded runs. Ross, who made 38 before running himself out, clubbed 20 runs off one Adrian Mack over, helping the Kangas get away to a flier. After going down to both Sorrento and Mornington in previous rounds, Langwarrin came into the match looking for a big scalp to prove they can mix it with the best in the competition. Langwarrin’s greatest-ever
batsman, Simon McEvoy, is in careerbest form, scoring 642 runs this season. His first five innings were in the second XI, where he scored 90, 96, 156, 30 and 59. Since coming back into the seniors, he has scored 30, 99 and then 82 on Saturday. Danny Weare made 56 to make it 377 runs for the season, while Andy Johnson (36), Jarryd Amalfi (39), Michael Edwards (21) and Mal Coutts (20) all contributed nicely to the scoreboard. Despite losing eight wickets, skipper and usual opening batsman Mark Cooper didn’t spend any time out in the middle. Dean Sterry was the unlikely pick of the Baxter bowlers with 4/38 from seven overs. He snared the scalps of Weare (stumped), Johnson and Amalfi (stumped). The Kangas enjoyed taking to former skipper Mack, belting him for 0/78 off 16 overs – a rare statistic. The winner of this match will go a game clear inside the top four. Mornington have placed themselves in the box seat against Mt Martha. The Reds won the toss and
sent the Doggies into bat at Ferraro Reserve. Robbie Clements was at his absolute best again for the Dogs, scoring yet another century. Not since Robbie Bedford was carving up bowling attacks has there been a batsman so consistently dominant in the competition. Tim Strickland top scored for Mt Eliza in their crunch match against Crib Point. Both a game outside of the top five, the loser of this match just may lose touch with the top four. Chris Whisby followed up his 23 in the last round with 36 on Saturday, enjoying a good partnership with Strickland after the team got away to a poor start. Tom Baron then contributed 31 at the tail to help the Mounties to 180 off 79.3 overs. Warren Herrington was the star with the ball for the Magpies, coming on third change and snaring 5/57. Opening bowlers Glenn Barclay (2/33) and Brad Davidson (2/32 from 29.3 overs) made scoring tough for the Mounties, while Luke Herrington picked up 1/36 from 13 overs.
Long Island are just eight wickets away from claiming victory against rye. The Islanders batted first and scored 189 off 74 overs, Peter Connell top scoring with 45, Fergus O’Connor replacing Paul Hartle at the top of the order with 41 and Scott Phillips scoring 29. Hartle made 25 batting at six and the Long Island batting line-up looks much more balanced with ‘Arnie’ in the middle order. Leigh Lambert was the pick of the Demons bowlers with four wickets. In reply, Scott Phillips was manacing in his first three overs, snaring 2/3 to have the Demons 2/8 at stumps. Peninsula Old Boys placed themselves in a strong position against Moorooduc. Bowling first, the Old Boys rolled the Ducs at Moorooduc Reserve for 187 in 72 overs. Jon Forrest wound back the clock as he helped himself to 5/31 from 26 overs, including 13 maidens, while Justin Parkes opened the attack and took 2/26. Callum Silvio also snared two scalps.

Mornington News 21 January 2014
By IT Gully HASTINGS will its eyes firmly set on an outright victory against Ballam Park on day two of MPCA District cricket this weekend. While the Blues are currently in ninth place and two games outside of the top four, an outright victory here just may put them back in contention. On Saturday at Thomas Barclay Reserve, the evergreen Timmy Birch cracked 103 to help his side to 9/240 in 58 overs. David Hull opened with 47 and Luke Hewitt and Brad Watson showed the team’s intentions, opening their shoulders to score quick-fire 30s. The Blues pulled the pin on their innings to ensure they had at least 20 overs to attack Ballam Park before stumps. It was a clever move by skipper Watson, with his bowlers claiming five wickets, including that of Matty Roach for a duck. Mitch Floyd opened the bowling and snared 2/19 from his six-over spell. Isuru Dias, Luke Hewitt and Ben King all picked-up a wicket each. The Knights will resume at 5/50 this Saturday. Baden Powell looked set to grab an easy victory against Seaford, however, the game was in the balance at the close of play. Seaford batted first and scrambled to 120, thanks largely to 55 runs off the bat of Mathew Herbert, while 23 from skipper Damien Lawrence and 20 from Kayle Henderson helped the total. Nathan Rice was slick with the new ball for the Braves, claiming 4/18, while Brendan Jovic opened with 3/21. Rhys Elmi also helped himself to 2/25. With just 121 runs to get for victory, the Braves got away to a
flier, with Elmi scoring 39 and Sam Mullavey 23 at the top of the order. However, by the end of play, the Braves had slumped to 6/96. Lawrence bowled 18 overs for a return of 3/21. Main Ridge are in the box seat in their match against Carrum. The Lions batted first and were rolled for 162. Josh Dent was the highlight of a poor batting card, reaching 103. Ridge skipper Brendan Rossborough was the best of the bowlers with 5/40, while Scott Millar was a little expensive but still claimed 3/83. In reply, the Ridge are 2/57. Liam Dobson has figures of 2/22 for the Lions. Boneo are in a world of pain against Pines. The Piners made 278 in just 71.3 overs, while the home side is reeling at 2/19. Thankfully for Boneo, skipper and opening batsman Leigh Lowry is still at the crease, not out 5, along with Ryan Jellie. One of these two batsmen needs to make a ton for Boneo to win. Delacombe Park set Flinders 199 for victory. Jon Gurthrie scored 69 for the Parkers and Chris Brittain returned with 32. A number of other batsmen got starts but couldn’t go on with it. ommy Clements was the best of the Sharks’ bowlers with 3/33 from 15 overs, while Max Royal claimed 3/46 and Dwayne Field made it 20 wickets for the season with 2/53 from 25 overs. Somerville and Seaford Tigers are locked in a dour struggle at Seaford. Batting first, the Eagles were rolled for 96, Jack Barbour top scoring with 26, while Corey hand snared 4/19 for the Tigers. However, the Tigers’ bats couldn’t take advantage of the ascendancy, struggling at 4/22 at stumps. Corey Hand, David James and Ash Mills are yet to bat for the Tigers.

The Skye’s the limit SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully IT appears Red Hill’s domination of MPCA Sub District cricket may be put on hold after day one of its clash against Skye. Sitting three games and a whopping 44 points clear at the top of the table, the Hillmen have been the stand-out side of the competition this season. However, they were dominated by Skye on Saturday.
Skye are currently in third place on the ladder, on the same number of points as second-placed Balnarring and a game clear of third-placed Rosebud. Skye brought their A-game to the table on Saturday, especially with the ball. The Hillmen won the toss on their home deck and asked the visitors to bat first. The decision by skipper Simon Dart appeared to be the right one, with Skye being rolled in just 47 overs.

the ball, and they did, Clinch leading the way with 3/38 and Fillipone and Pat Beckham each snaring two wickets. After 33 overs, Red Hill was 8/69 at stumps. The ladder leaders won’t be beaten outright but they will get a good wake-up call at the end of day two. Skye need to keep their foot on the throat of the Hillmen and send a clear message that the sub district season is not a one-horse race! Tootgarook set Pearcedale 206 for
victory in their clash at Trueman’s Rd. On a fast-scoring ground and with a strong top order, the Panthers are not without a chance of chasing down the total. The Tooters batted all but 1.4 overs of their allotted 80, enforcing the Panthers to face the last over of the day. Pearcedale skipper Chris Dew was the best of the bowlers with 4/52 from 22 overs, while Shayne Gillings continued his good season with 3/57.
