INVESTIGATIONS into the risk posed by bushfires to the proposed Arthurs Seat Skylift have highlighted the dangers to residents living in or around the precinct. The Mornington Peninsula is regarded as “one of the most bushfireprone areas in the world�, according to the municipality’s official fire management plan. And the towns around Arthurs Seat and its slopes have been assessed as being under “extreme� risk of “catastrophic� bushfires. The Bushfire Risk Assessment Register lists Arthurs Seat and its lookout and escarpment, Main Ridge and Waterfall Gully Central as “almost certain� to burn. The register is part of the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s fire management plan and bases its predictions on the history of past fires in the area. The plan has a list of “Neighbourhood safer places – places of last resort� where refuge can be sought during fires. The list includes Blairgowrie, McCrae, Balnarring, Dromana, Flinders, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha, Portsea, Rosebud West, Rye and Sorrento. There are no refuges listed for anyone seeking shelter from bushfires at Arthurs Seat, Red Hill or Main Ridge. Ironically, the Skylift’s upper station may be the only reasonably safe refuge available. Janet Stanley, a specialist in arson who has been widely quoted by opponents of the gondola ride, believes more tourists being attracted to the area will also increase the risk of bushfires being deliberately lit. “Most arsonists light fires close to an urban setting. Bringing large numbers of visitors to the heavily forested area
close to an urban environment would greatly increase the risk of an arson attack in the area,� Dr Stanley said. Since 1997 there have been three recorded bushfires, which burned between 160 and five hectares but which were brought under control without any great loss to property. Major fires listed in the shire’s fire management plan start from Black Thursday in February 1851 – a statewide fire that saw countryside around Western Port covered by “raging flames� – to January 2008 when a 48ha fire affected private and government land in Boundary Rd, Dromana. Other fires on the list occurred at Flinders, Somers, Crib Point, HMAS Cerberus, Red Hill, Mt Martha Park and Arthurs Seat. The plan does not include a February 2013 fire that began on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Dromana and spread to the historic Heronswood property, completely destroying its thatched roof cafe. A fire that started in a wood yard at Hastings in January 2014 quickly spread into Warringine Reserve, threatening nearby houses and Crib Point. Four weeks ago firefighters managed to control a blaze heading towards BlueScope’s Western Port steel works at Hastings. Although relatively quickly contained, the fire was heading towards the steel works and Esso’s gas plant at nearby Long Island Point, which is listed as a major hazard facility. Last week Nepean MP Martin Dixon warned that the peninsula’s green countryside was deceptive: “Fire authorities say a major fire is now not a matter of if, but when.� Mr Dixon told Parliament he had “a number of worries regarding the fire season this year�.

Mornington News 27 October 2015

Delays to sewage station repairs SOUTH East Water has been forced to spend more money to repair a sewage leak at its Pentecost Rd, Mornington, sewage pumping station after the first attempt failed. Problems with the system were first revealed in August when contractors pumped out sewage from the station beside Tanti Creek near Nepean Highway over two nights prior to repair work. This required the partial closure of Pentecost Rd. The News understands the EPA had tested water in the creek on 10 August and ordered SEW to carry out repairs. A small amount of polluted water had entered the creek, which runs into Port Phillip at Mills Beach. The repair bill was about $100,000 but the problem was not fixed. New contractors returned to the site earlier this month and work was due to be completed last week but is ongoing. Pentecost Rd has again been partly closed, and traffic accessing Mornington's light industrial area has been using alternate routes. Last Friday, a South East Water spokesperson said "a small leak was identified and controlled at a sewer pumping station on Pentecost Rd ... on 5 October". "Our sewer experts investigated and found the repair was more complex than expected, requiring deep and difficult excavation and a replacement part, which will be available in coming days. "Once we receive the replacement
part, our works will take a number of days. Water and sewerage services for local residents are not affected. We will continue to talk with local residents in the immediate vicinity to keep them informed." A custom-made sleeve will be used to join existing pipes. It will take about a week to fabricate. SEW did not reveal the cost of the second attempt. The recent and ongoing work follows the Pentecost Sewer Renewal project, which was carried out between May 2012 and mid-2013. This involved renewing 1.7km of ageing underground sewer pipes at several locations around Pentecost, Watt, Mornington-Tyabb, Yuilles, and Dunns roads as well as Richardson Drive. The Pentecost Rd sewage pump station was "renewed" and a new odour management system installed. Mike Hast
Police cup patrol POLICE are warning drivers they will be out in force over the Melbourne Cup weekend in Operation Furlong, which runs Friday 30 October-Tuesday 3 November. “We will be using all available personnel from road policing units, uniform personnel and other regional resources,� Senior Sergeant Steve Burt said. “We will be looking at hotels and liquor outlets and generally thinking outside the square.�
Access at last: A new path down steep Wooralla Drive will link Mt Eliza township with the skate park and other sports and recreation facilities at Emil Madsen Reserve. Picture supplied
Hooray for long-awaited hill path WORK on the long-awaited shared path down the steep southern slope of Mt Eliza to Emil Madsen Reserve is set to begin next month. The nearly two-kilometre Wooralla Drive path from Tower Rd to the reserve will cost $500,000 plus an unspecified amount for a crossing of the tourist railway line at the bottom of the hill. The rail crossing is likely to add a significant amount to the project. It will be done under a different contract and must meet VicTrack requirements for a normal suburban rail line even though tourist trains only run three times a month. The path will allow walkers, bike riders and skaters to safely travel between the village and the reserve, and on to other tracks in the area.
The path was promised when the shire proposed building the skate park, which was opened in March 2012 with floodlights turned on nine months later. The project cost $430,000. The reserve is also home to three ovals for football and cricket, a pavilion, a leash-free area and playground. The path will be brown exposed aggregate concrete, and have raised timber boardwalks at various sections, a footbridge over Balcombe Creek, and the railway crossing. Briars Ward councillor and mayor Bev Colomb said the path would be completed by late March 2016. Her colleagues Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon said it would be welcomed by the community. There's a lot on offer at the reserve,
and the pathway will enable safer passage for pedestrians. This vital piece of infrastructure finally completes the Mt Eliza skate park project, they said. "Accessing the reserve on foot has been a dangerous pursuit until now, so I'm stoked that locals and visitors alike will finally be able to get there safely without jumping in the car," Cr Dixon said. He said that Maw Civil of Dromana would build the path. "Peace of mind for parents and drivers as skaters and riders will no longer have to cruise down the 'black length' of one of the steepest and busiest roads in town." Cr Dixon praised shire officers, his council colleagues, former Mt Eliza councillor Leigh Eustace, and "all you residents and users out there – for not staying quiet, and for your patience".

Faster internet to roll out next year MORE than 43,000 homes across several suburbs including Frankston, Baxter, Langwarrin and Karingal will have access to the National Broadband Network by the end of 2017 as part of an “accelerated plan” announced by the federal government. Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson hailed the planned connection of “superfast internet” for many suburbs in the electorate, including some who have struggled with slow internet speeds, as “critical for our community”. “I most recently met directly with representatives from NBN Co to discuss solutions for some of the internet ‘black spots’ in Baxter, Frankston South and Seaford,” Mr Billson said. “I was dismayed that some members of the community had limited access at best.” The former small business minister said the Coalition government will deliver the national broadband network “a decade earlier and far cheaper than expected under the previous Labor government”. “The Coalition government is able to deliver the NBN far quicker and cheaper than the previous Labor government by making use of a range of technologies. This includes using the existing copper and cable infrastructure already provided into homes and businesses. “We also recognise that there was little point overbuilding in some areas which already had high-speed broadband options available, or in dismantling and disposing of existing pay TV infrastructure that with the help of world-leading software can be easily and cost effec-
tively adapted to be made available for high-speed broadband.” Just over 15,000 premises in the Dunkley electorate can now choose to connect to the national broadband network. Critics of the Coalition’s NBN policy say the quicker rollout of the network has come at the expense of top internet speeds needed to align Australia with internet speeds in many first world countries. The Coalition opted for a less expensive fibre-to-the-node model for the NBN compared to Labor’s fibre-tothe-premises plan when it was in government. The FTTN model relies on outdated copper cables to connect the network to premises at the final point of connection while the FTTP model offers faster internet speeds since homes and businesses are connected directly to fibre optic cabling. Labor’s NBN plan was budgeted at $44.9 billion before the party lost government in 2013. The Coalition budgeted its plan at $28.5 billion before the election but the cost has since blown out to an estimated $46 billion. A NBN Co review of the Labor plan after the election found Labor’s network would have cost $73 billion if it had proceeded. Mr Billson said the rollout in Dunkley will mean 43,820 premises in Frankston, Baxter, Langwarrin, Langwarrin South, Karingal, Mount Eliza, part of Carrum Downs, part of Skye, Seaford and Mornington will be connected to the national broadband network by the end of 2017.

Bay watch: The whitebarred boxfish seems to be a ‘fish on the move. Recorded from Western Port to Dongarra, WA, it has only been sighted in Port Phillip in relatively recent times. It is one of the fish participants in the Great Victorian Fish Count will be asked to keep a look out for. Picture: Rick Stuart-Smith
Counting on rare, and common, fish WATCHING goldfish in a bowl can be restful or compared to waiting for grass to appear. But that won’t be the outcome for hundreds of divers and snorkelers in the water at Rye and Flinders this summer as part of the biggest citizen science event on Victoria’s marine calendar, the Great Victorian Fish Count. “The huge amount of enthusiasm volunteers have for the Great Victorian Fish Count reflects the deep knowledge and passion that exists in local communities for our marine life,” Caitlin Griffith from the Victorian National Parks Association said.
“This enthusiasm makes it possible to contribute large amounts of real, usable data to marine managers and improves our understanding of Victoria’s waters.” Now in its 11th year, the fish count is organised by the VPNA, Parks Victoria, Museum Victoria, Coastcare Victoria, dive operators and community groups. It will run from Saturday 21 November to Sunday 6 December. This year’s count is looking for “fish on the move”, and will focus on species that may be expanding their distribution and populations as a result of changes in the marine environment, such as ocean warming
due to climate change. Fish counters will be asked to watch for well-known fish as well as species that may be new or unusual to the area, logging unusual or rare sightings on the Redmap project (redmap.org. au). Redmap is a national citizen science project that records data and maps marine species that may be extending their range in Australia in response to changes in the marine environment. Registrations for the Great Victorian Fish Count are open to dive clubs and community groups. Details: fishcount. vnpa.org.au or call 9347 5188.

Fire on mount: a catastrophe to come Continued from Page 1 “Locals do not believe the forecast because the forecast last year was very inaccurate. The tens of thousands of city day visitors and renters know little if anything about [fire] awareness,” Mr Dixon said. “The southern peninsula is one of the three most dangerous fire timbered areas, very explosive tea trees, massive seasonal population increases and totally congested freeways, roads and streets, and, being a peninsula, there is a lack of exit and access routes for emergency vehicles.” He complimented CFA brigades on their preparedness but called on “all relevant government department agencies and ministers to facilitate more emergency clean-ups and to educate residents and visitors about their responsibility to clear up their land and have a thorough [knowledge] that if a major fire starts and you are on the southern peninsula, you will not be able to leave”. “There will be no escape, so plan accordingly,” Mr Dixon said. While opponents of Skylift’s gondola point out the possible dire consequences to people sheltering from raging fires at either its upper or lower stations, the risk to life and property goes well beyond this one development. “It is hard to comprehend why a gondola would be placed in an area of such fire risk, potentially placing many more people in danger and increasing the risk to the local residents, firefighters and the environment,” said Dr Stanley, who is Monash Sustainability Institute’s chief research officer. “If a large fire occurred then other nearby localities would be also endangered, with potentially a much wider effect than the areas itemised in [the
shire’s fire management plan].” The gondola itself has been the subject of heated debate over its susceptibility to bushfire. A separate bushfire emergency plan commissioned by Arthurs Seat Skylift describes how the company’s employees will respond to a bushfire threat before the arrival and handing over of control to emergency services. The plan “has been designed to assist management to protect life and property in the event of a bushfire”. The bushfire emergency plan comes with lists of contact phone numbers and colourful flow charts showing various actions and delegations should there be a fire. However, it provides no guarantees: “Ideally, instructions for how staff and Skylift visitors respond to a bushfire situation (evacuation or shelter-in-place) will be provided by emergency services personnel,” the report states. “It must be recognised, however, that in some situations, emergency services will not be present and it will fall to the Arthurs Seat Skylift management (operations manager/chief warden) to determine a course of action.” The plan says the pre-cast concrete upper station, which includes a cafe for 100 patrons, will be built to Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of 12.5 and be surrounded by a “defendable area”. The Skylift’s 34 gondolas can carry up to 212 people. Council’s fire prevention officer can order a clean-up of properties seen as being at risk. The peninsula has two fire brigade groups, Western Port Group (13 brigades) and Peninsula Group (eight brigades). The 21 brigades have more than 600 firefighters, who respond to about 4000 fires and emergencies each year.
Telstra raid arrest A 37-YEAR-OLD Frankston man has been charged over a late-night robbery at the Telstra outlet, Tyabb Rd, Mornington, Thursday 8 October. He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court next month. Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock, of Mornington police, will allege the man was one of two who used a sledgehammer to smash their way into the outlet to steal head phones and speakers valued at $1000. A robbery attempt at the store last year failed. A second man is being sought for his role in the robbery.

Clearing the way for gondola construction THE peace at Arthurs Seat was disturbed by the sounds of tree lopping and bush clearing last week as Wangaratta-based contractors working for Arthurs Seat Skylift removed vegetation at the sites of the proposed bottom and top gondola stations. It was the first major work by Skylift on the $16 million ride, which it is hoped will be open before Christmas next year. On Friday morning, Skylift's Simon McKeon and Hans Brugman inspected the two
sites with representatives of Doppelmayr of Austria, which will be fabricating the ride, and Parks Victoria officers including district manager Libby Jude. The clearing Monday to Thursday last week followed work by Parks Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire mid-October, which Ms Jude said was part of "fire preparedness works in Arthurs Seat State Park for the Skylift [gondola] project". The summit picnic area off Purves Rd and
the car park at the bottom will be closed during construction. Parks is encouraging visitors to picnic at "the expansive and secluded Seawinds Gardens, just a short 600 metres walk from the summit picnic area". Picnic and barbecue facilities will remain available at the main picnic area to the north (Port Phillip side) of Arthurs Seat Rd. Mike Hast
A CAR was driven partially over the cliff off The Esplanade, Mt Martha, Wednesday 5.45pm. Mornington police say they received “dozens of calls” over the incident in which a north-bound Holden Commodore sedan left the road 100 metres south of Deakin Drive. Acting Sergeant Neil Prosser said the driver was “not with the car” and police searched the area in case he had been thrown from the vehicle. He said witnesses reported seeing an “older male walking away” from the scene and inquiries were being made as to his name and address, Thursday. The Air Wing also did a search of the area and the car was towed away.
Alarm alerts FIREFIGHTERS forced their way into the home of an elderly Mornington woman, Saturday night last week, after burning chops set off her smoke alarm. Neighbours called the Mornington brigade when they heard the alarm at 8.45pm but the woman, who has hearing problems, was in a flap when she couldn’t find her hearing aid and unsure what to do about the alarm. Station Officer Gary Bryant said the woman was “distracted” by the noise and was looking for her hearing aid when he banged on her door. “She couldn’t hear me because the noise was deafening and so I leant on the door and it gave way,” he said. “She got a surprise to find us in her lounge room.” He pulled the alarm off the ceiling and took it outside to turn itself off. “It could have been a lot worse and it was good that the alarm went off.”

Up for challenge: The BlueScope team is ready for this year’s Arthurs Seat Challenge. Picture: Yanni
Feet on the road for safer driving A WALKING and running event is the main financial force behind a driver education program for thousands of year 11 students across the Mornington Peninsula. The annual Arthurs Seat Challenge raises money for the Fit2Drive program to help students become safer road users by focusing on better decision making when faced with risky situations. The program also increases community support, sharing knowledge with parents and schools in our local area. “It has been remarkable to see the growth and expansion of road safety
education across the peninsula, and the shared response to reducing road fatality and injury involving young people since the inception of this program at our local secondary schools,” BlueScope Western Port plant manager Jim Graham said. Mr Graham said BlueScope was “thrilled” to continue its support of the Arthurs Seat Challenge fun run, to be held this year on Sunday 8 November. “BlueScope has been manufacturing steel on the peninsula for more than 40 years and has been a supporter and major sponsor of the challenge since the first event in 2002.”
In that time the number of participants in the challenge had grown from less than 200 to 2000. “Our company’s core values of keeping people safe and supporting our local community are in direct alignment with the Fit2Drive Program and the Arthurs Seat Challenge,” Mr Graham said. “We look forward to seeing great representation from the community and we will certainly have a strong squad from BlueScope challenging on the day.” Register for the Arthurs Seat Challenge at arthursseatchallenge.com.au

GREEN WASTE WEEKEND 15-16 NOVEMBER at all Waste Disposal Centres To encourage residents to reduce green waste around their homes, Mornington Peninsula Shire will hold a ‘No Charge” Green Waste disposal weekend at all waste disposal centres on 15-16 November, 2015. The “No Charge” Green Waste Weekend is for Shire residents or ratepayers only, with green waste to be delivered only from residential vehicles and trailers. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste accepted. Resource Recovery Centres are located in Truemans Road Rye, McKirdys Road Tyabb and Watt Road Mornington. Opening hours are from 8.00am until 5.00pm Saturday and Sunday. Please note that due to the popularity of
this event delays are to be expected at the Resource Recovery Centres, particularly at the beginning and the end of each day. Mornington can only accept up to 3 cubic metres of green waste per trip. Proof of residency is required to dispose of green waste for no charge on this weekend; for example your driver’s licence or a copy of your rates notice. Green Waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. Residents are also reminded that they can contact the Shire to opt-in to receive a kerbside green waste for those living in the urban area. There is a cost for this service.
For more information about the green waste weekend or the op-in kerbside green bin collection service, please contact customer service at the shire on: 1300 850 600 or visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au PAGE 8

Rate cap may not quell cash calls David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au COUNCILS looking to get around the state government’s rate cap plan are believed to feel they have found an answer – special charge schemes, which are specifically excluded from the rate cap rules. Large city law firms who specialise in local government are advising councils, which hotly oppose the plan to end the pattern of big rate rises, on how to deal with the cap. Councils use special charge schemes to require landowners to pay part of the cost of such works as footpaths, bicycle paths, street kerbing and channelling, drainage, roadworks and off-street parking. Of these works, the Local Government Act names only drainage required to protect public health. Other references could be interpreted to encompass a wide range of works for which councils could impose a special charge. Lawyers are emphasising the possibilities of the Act’s wording in section 163, which refers broadly to raising money “in relation to the performance of a function or the exercise of a power of the council”. But the Essential Services Commission, author of the rate cap proposal, has warned councils it will closely monitor use of the Act to stymie its proposal if it becomes clear section 163 is being used to try to sidestep the cap on council spending. The cap plan has not yet gone through state Parliament. It could be opposed in the Legislative Council, where the government does not have a majority.
Statewide rates are proposed to be set at around three per cent in 2016-17 after years of annual bills of twice – and often more – that size. Legal firms studying rate capping are believed to include Maddocks, the city law firm that advises Mornington Peninsula Shire. Another firm, Macquarie Local Government Lawyers, is telling clients they should use section 163 “to raise special rates and special charges for any purpose considered to be within the attainment of their objectives”. (Macquarie’s emphasis.) The firm’s website advertises the imminent arrival of its new special charge publication, the 2016 edition of its Special Rates and Charges Manual. This is being “completely revised” to include material not in its $895 first edition of 2012. The new manual includes “the several cases which have been decided by VCAT on special rates and charges since the publication of the first edition”. It will, the firm says, “continue to be a valuable tool for all council officers who are required to prepare or administer any special rate or special charge scheme”. The manual will contain working examples and “completed pro-formas” and will continue to contain “all of the documentation necessary for a council to declare and levy a special rate or special charge under section 163”. Macquarie specifies five areas: Promotion of a retail shopping centre. Promotion of a commercial business precinct. Construction of a road. Construction of a footpath.
Provision of drainage infrastructure. While information on special charge schemes proved almost impossible to find on the Mornington Peninsula Shire website, other councils were not so reticent. Bass Coast Shire speaks of the “user pays system that is known as a special charge” by which the state government “recognises that councils need help to provide improved infrastructure for their local communities”. “Legislation allows councils to pass on the cost of constructing sealed roads, kerb and channel, footpaths, underground drainage and other capital infrastructure to the owner of a property that generally receives a unique benefit from the construction works,” Bass Coast explains. The Aireys Inlet & District Association in 2010 told its members that residents “may find projects [proposed as special charge schemes] neither beneficial nor necessary. “It is questionable whether the benefit of a sealed road outweighs the increase in traffic, the increase in speeding cars, the increase in buses, and the total loss of neighbourhood character,” it said. “Whether infrastructure is necessary is also highly subjective.” In a rebuttal that anticipates the current case against rate capping, the association went on: “The [Surf Coast Shire’s] policy on infrastructure special rate or charge scheme states that special charge schemes are necessary because infrastructure demands exceed available financial resources. “This argument is flawed on two counts. First, the job of the council is to allocate limited financial resources
in a responsible and expedient manner throughout the shire. If infrastructure is needed, then money will be allocated for that project on a needs basis, as is often the case now… “Second, residents should not be expected to pay money, often many thousands of dollars, in addition to their rates.” It then criticises the Surf Coast Shire, saying: “It is disturbing that council’s website indicates the only recourse for objection to a special charge scheme is through VCAT. This is not the case. “It is only fair that residents should be informed of the provision [in the Local Government Act] … that a council cannot make a declaration to levy a special charge if the council receives objections from the majority of rateable properties in respect to which the special charge scheme would be imposed. “So, if more than half of the owners of the rateable properties object to a special charge scheme then it will not proceed.” This writer was unable to find such information on the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s website despite a diligent search using “special charge scheme” and other relevant words. The futility of the search was reminiscent of lucky dips at fetes where, for a modest sum, boys and girls can rummage for a gift in a barrel filled with sawdust. While one might be disappointed at what is extracted, a reward always comes to hand. Not necessarily so with the shire website. It is often more efficient let Google find the information on the shire site than to go to the shire site directly.
For the memory OVERHEARD at a wake: “Dad used to yarn about the Mornington Peninsula in the old days. Remember the wagon trip and setting up camp, the possum and its stoush with the dog? And his sister’s first boyfriend? I can’t remember the details, just that it was funny. If only I had listened. If only he had written them down for the family.” These memories are typical of the conversations that take place each month when members of the Mainly Memoirs group get together. “Everyone has a story to tell. Members each produce a piece either prompted by a photograph or some incident. Read aloud, we discuss them and if necessary make suggestions,” organiser Colleen Isaac said. Members say the group helps them focus on recording their family’s shared memories for the next generation. Ms Isaacs said the exercise also helped improve writing skills. “The bonus for participants is that the experiences are so different. Some are funny, some tragic, others nostalgic,” she said. “All are informative. We have heard vividly described life in California in the 1950s and 1960s, South and East Africa under colonial rule, personalities on a Lutheran farm near Albury, hitchhiking in Europe, and being bailed up in redneck Southern USA.” Mainly Memoirs meets midday1.55pm on the second Monday of the month in the community room at Rosebud Library.

Summer tourism parking ‘could raise $10m’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire could earn up to $10 million a year if it charged tourists to park their cars during the summer season. The suggestion comes from a member of a peninsula ratepayer group as councils around Victoria face the prospect of lower rate income under a state government plan to cap rate rises. The government announced earlier this year that councils would have to show "special circumstances" if they wanted to increase rates by more than the cost of inflation. So-called rate capping will be introduced for the 2016-17 financial year, and the shire will have to find new sources of revenue to maintain or increase services. Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers' and Residents' Association member Joe Lenzo said he had been advocating charging for car parking for five years. "Our rates pay for many services used by summer visitors and daytrippers," he said. "It's time to look at recouping some of this cost." About two million cars come to the peninsula each season and $5 a day per car would put $10 million in the kitty, he said. Such a fee was common in several Melbourne bayside municipalities and was standard practice in many EuroParking bonus: One idea to increase shire revenue is to charge tourists for car parking. Picture: Yanni
pean tourism cities. Ratepayers would receive two car parking stickers with their rate notices, enabling them to park free of charge. Extra stickers for households with more than two vehicles would be charged at a nominal rate. Tourists could purchase daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or annual permits. "Obviously there is much detail to be worked out. The shire could form a profit-sharing partnership with one of the big city parking companies so capital expenditure to set up the scheme with its parking machines, signs, etc could come at minimal cost to ratepayers." He said other revenue sources might include upping camping fees. "Harm done to tourism would be minimal as the peninsula will always be a popular destination for Melburnians and it would still be an affordable holiday." Last summer saw a record number of campers in the shire with people staying during the so-called shoulder periods either side of peak periods increasing by 25 per cent in comparison to the previous year. There was a record occupancy of 112,000 nights. The shire charges $550 per site between 25 October and 20 December, and $995 between 31 January and 26 April. During peak season, sites with power cost $290 a week and $135 offpeak. Ratepayers' association president Alan Nelsen told The News "it was an interesting proposal but the association would want to see more detail before adopting it".
Rate cap 3% for 2016–17 THE Essential Services Commission’s “Local Government Rates Capping and Variation Framework Review” was released late last week and recommended that the rate rise cap be based on 60 per cent CPI and 40 per cent wage index calculation. The latter figure would be calculated by the State Treasury based on the previous financial year’s figures. The cap for 2016-17 would be 3.05 per cent, 2.85 per cent for 2017-18 and 2.8 per cent for 2018-19. The commission reiterated that councils could apply for special dispensation to increase rates above these figures but would have to make a very strong case to do so. Waste charges are not included in the cap. One local government observer told The News that “smart CEOs would look at many other ways to increase income as the rate cap bites deeply”. “Rate capping may end up a waste of time as councils including the shire have more than 200 other charges that could be increased.” Over the past 10 years, shire council rates have increased by more than 100 per cent, which is more than the increase in the cost of nearly all other household goods or services incurred by Victorians, said ratepayer group president Alan Nelsen. Dr Nelsen said the increase was “three times more than the cost of living (CPI), twice the actual increase in costs incurred by councils, twice the increase in wages, about double the the increase in age pensions for couples, and the fourth highest increase of 40 household expenditures measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics”.

Field of dreams: Michael Voss applauded onto the field as he approaches his 300 th game for Mornington. Picture: Stephen Voss
A 300-game highlight is a family affair PLAYING in a cricket match with his father, two brothers and brother-in-law is a career highlight of Mornington Cricket Club 300-gamer Michael Voss. Padding up for his first game in the 1987/88 season at age 12, Voss played his 300th senior game against Delacombe Park in B2 grade on the weekend. This makes him only the seventh club member to play 300 games in its 152 year history. Others include George Keys, Jeff Calder, Paul Brown, Stephen Voss, Terry O’Keefe and one other. His best batting performance is
63no and his best bowling figures are 5/31. Another highlight was a semi-final win against Mt Martha in the mid-90s. “We were the underdogs and had our seconds and thirds playing semifinals that day,” he said. “Their games finished early on Sunday and what seemed like the whole club was there to cheer us on to victory against a team which hadn’t lost all season. “Also, seeing the firsts win the premiership against Sorrento at Dromana was huge after a lean few years for the club. As a supporter it wasn’t difficult to get caught up in the emotion of it
all. ‘Gapesy’ you star.” And the lowlights? “Definitely our grand final/semi final losses, including three losing semi-finals and three losing grand finals,” he said. Among the best cricketers Voss says he has played is Matt Foon. “I captained him in the seniors against Heatherhill when he was about 13,” he said. “The writing was on the wall” Other greats were Tony Stocker, Danny Clements, Jeff Calder, Darren Uccello, Anthony Gapes and Matt Gapes. One of the funniest things Voss has seen on the field occurred during
a match against Delacombe Park at Wilsons Rd. “We had a few overs to bat to finish off the game after a win,” he said. “I was umpiring and I saw the fielder at mid-off texting on his mobile when the ball was smashed at him: he took the catch with his non-preferred hand and didn’t miss a beat with the text. He didn’t drop the phone either.” Playing against Peninsula Old Boys, club veteran Wayne Hansen hit an opposing batsman in the groin. The batsman grabbed the box out of his pants and it was split into two pieces. “Let’s just say it ruined his Saturday night.”

Year of the copperhead snake Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au

snakes, regularly warning that it is illegal to kill snakes, and could attract a fine of more than $6000. "It's not only illegal but also dangerous as people could be exposing themselves to potential injury or death," he said. "The head of a decapitated snake can live for 15 minutes or more and still bite. There was a case in NSW where a man cut a black snake in half and returned to dispose of it 24 hours later. He grabbed the front half and it bit him. "People need to be aware snakes are moving around looking for food and water; if you see a snake in your garden, leave it alone and you won't have a problem." Killing a snake on your property
bushland and beside creeks. Snake bites are difficult to detect on dogs and cats. First reactions can include trembling, rapid breathing, vomiting, defecation and collapse. After some of these signs, eye pupils may dilate (get bigger) and the animal's gait will become clumsy as the legs become progressively weaker. If the dose of venom is large enough, complete paralysis will occur, followed by death if untreated with anti-venom. If treated immediately, pets have a good chance of survival and recovery. The best course of action is to keep your pet as calm and still as possible and get them to a vet. Information: snakecatchervictoria. com.au
would just leave a vacuum that would be filled by another snake, he said. The three most common snakes in the region are copperheads, tiger snakes and red-bellied black snakes. "Having a copperhead or red-bellied black snake on your property is a good thing as they eat tiger snakes, which are more likely to bite humans and pets," he said. "Tigers seek prey such as mice and rats, which live in sheds and houses, as well as birds and small mammals. "Copperheads mainly seek frogs, lizards – and other snakes." Mr Goldsmith also warned about pets and snakes. "Snakes don't attack dogs; dogs attack snakes," he said. Veterinarians say dogs should be kept on a leash in dunes, long grass,
FIVE peninsula projects and one individual have been recognised at the Tidy Town – Sustainable Community Awards. Three winners were: • Mornington Peninsula Shire and Southern Peninsula Community Information and Support Fresh Food Program. • Mornington Peninsula Shire's Clean Beach and Waterway program. • The shire's litter prevention program at Ballar Creek, Mt Eliza. Highly commended were: • Young Leaders – Sustainability Leadership: Luke Reardon, Western Port Secondary College, Hastings. • Young Leaders – Sustainability Leadership: St Joey's Cafe, run by year 6 pupils at St Joseph's school, Crib Point. • Cultural Heritage: Victorian Maritime Centre's Otama submarine project at Crib Point. Hastings and Mornington were finalists for the overall Tidy Town Award, which was won by Horsham. The shire's mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said recognition of five projects and Luke Reardon was "outstanding" and the result of good partnerships with businesses and organisations. The Ballar Creek project included the installation of a new type of pollutant trap, a "bafflebox", which had stopped "truckloads of rubbish, vegetation and sediment ... flowing into the creek and ultimately Port Phillip".

FORGET the Chinese Year of the Sheep or Goat, in terms of snakes in the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston and southeast region, it's the year of the copperhead snake. Peninsula licensed wildlife controller Barry Goldsmith says the copperhead is the dominant type of snake appearing as the weather warms, displacing last year's "year of the tiger snake". "I've been removing on average two a day since the warm weather kicked in," he said. Mr Goldsmith scotched the myth that there are more snakes around this year as animal hospitals and vets report a sharp increase in pets being bitten by snakes compared with this time last year. "It's very simple – as we reduce snake habitat by development, humans and their pets are more likely to come into contact with snakes even though we have fewer snakes than, say, 20 years ago," he said. Building of homes, shops, roads and other infrastructure in the region is also reducing the number of places where snake-catchers can release their captures. He cited development in Mornington, Somerville and Rosebud in recent times for creating greater chances of humans (and their pets) encountering snakes. "What is now the Peninsula Sands estate in Rosebud South was a place where snake-catchers released relocated snakes for 100 years," he said. Mr Goldsmith is a champion of

Ageing in Place Villages located at Mount Martha, Carrum Downs & Berwick
Something on their mind: Gail Quilliam, Gerard Mansour, Craig Hassed and Tom Jeavons at the U3A seminar.
Mindfulness for healthy ageing IDEAS on the relationship between the body and mind are not new, according to Dr Craig Hassed, of Monash University’s School of Primary Health Care. The lecturer was speaking to 200 people attending the Mindfulness for Healthy Ageing seminar during the Victorian Seniors Festival at Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington. Using art and the painting The Body is a Shadow of the Soul (Marsilio Ficino, 1433-99), Dr Hassad cited early philosophical thinking on the topic as an introduction to his well-received and humorous presentation. His inspiring and evidence-based presentation centred on the impact of mindfulness practises on the promotion and maintenance of mental and physical health and wellbeing. The seminar ended with a mindfulness exercise and discussion with an appreciative audience. This final seminar in the Monash University/ U3A Dialogues on Healthy Ageing series was
supported by the Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston City Council and the Australian Association of Gerontology. Commissioner for Victorian Seniors, Gerard Mansour, chaired the discussion. “The Victorian Seniors Festival provides a wonderful opportunity to see and experience many of the diverse activities that seniors enjoy and can get involved in through services, clubs, organisations and volunteering,� he said. “They enable people of all ages to keep connected within the community.� The presidents of U3A Dr Tom Jeavons (Mornington) and Gail Quilliam (Frankston) thanked the audience from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions for their strong support for the series over the year. For details on U3A courses, summer program and activities visit u3amornington.com.au or call 5975 9773. The U3A office is at 5-17, Currawong St, Mornington, open weekdays 10am-2pm.

LETTERS Limited time The road works for the eastern (south bound) service centre on Peninsula Link at Baxter have been completed for some time, and yet an 80kph speed limit still applies. Similar service centres on the Hume Highway and Geelong Freeway, with similar exit and on ramps, are not similarly encumbered. I perceive several possible reasons why the freeway limit of 100 kph might not have been restored. The root cause of each possibility is not particularly palatable: 1. Perhaps there is some feature of the exit and on ramps which renders them unsafe in comparison to the ramps on the Hume and Geelong freeway. 2. Perhaps some influence has been exerted upon the RTA in order to retain the road work speed limit, so as to give prospective customers more time to consider turning in to the service centre. 3. The RTA hasn’t yet got around to removing the signs. I believe that it is past time that the 80 kph speed limit was removed. Graeme Willaton, Mt Martha
Trail of destruction In response to Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean (“Bay Trail supporter”, Letters, 13/10/2015) we have very serious concerns regarding a recent proposal by Mornington Peninsula Shire to build parallel pathways along the foreshore from Rye to Blairgowrie. We support the proposed pathway along Point Nepean Rd, however to build another pathway parallel to this and along the foreshore will cause extensive and irreversible damage. It will claim several kilometers of native vegetation along the foreshore, 4.4 metres wide (2.4m + 1m clearance either side) to be replaced with what we assume would mostly be concrete aggregate. Imagine a bulldozer ploughing along an already very fragile and narrow width foreshore and you begin to understand the extent of dam-
age being proposed. The vegetation along the foreshore acts as a natural barrier to coastal erosion and to approve such a project will further fragment and weaken the coastline. It shows an irresponsible lack of consideration and understanding of coastal processes by its minority group proponents. The foreshore is cherished by locals and visitors alike for its natural character and its existing meandering walking tracks. This project will forever damage our iconic foreshore; it’s completely unnecessary when a suitable bay trail pathway would exist just metres away. This irrevocable destruction of our coastline must be prevented. Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens
Privacy warning Shop owners or managers posting CCTV footage on social media of people who they accuse of being shoplifters or thieves need to be very careful (“Zen approach brings tearful return”, The News, 20/10/15). The matter is not proven. The CCTV images can [only] presume. If the customer is an innocent browser or indeed has a receipt, what then? If anyone posted my identity on social media and called me a thief (presuming I was innocent) I would sue the pants off that person for defamation, slander, libel, [contravention of] Privacy Act laws; and [seek] compensation. I would seek to have a large amount of money awarded, or that person’s house in lieu. Brian A. Mitchelson, Mornington
Lucky Joe If former Treasurer Joe Hockey spits the dummy and resigns his seat midway through his term, why is he rewarded to go on to be possibly be Australia’s next ambassador to Washington, the most coveted ambassadorship of all. In big business we see CEOs who do a really bad job rewarded with bonuses or golden handshakes. If Joe Hockey’s new job does come to pass,
surely his entitlements as a former member of Parliament should be put in a trust, his new salary will surely be adequate with all the perks it attracts. There is also another question that needs to be asked: is Joe Hockey the best qualified person for this lucrative job? Denise Hassett, Mt Martha
Busy minister [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has become a very busy man lately. Part time Minister for Cities and, in my view, definitely part time Minister for the Environment. A short while ago he presented his grand design for Melbourne along with the promise of grand amounts of money to his Liberal colleague, [Opposition leader] Matthew Guy amid grand media coverage. The only problem was that Matt is not in government, [the Premier] Dan Andrews is. So, he was the bloke Mr Hunt should have talked with, instead of giving him the good news via radio and television coverage. Greg Hunt has shown just last week how good an Environment Minister he is by allowing Adani to mine in central Queensland, threatening the Great Barrier Reef. He claims to have put in place the "strictest conditions in Australia's history". (“Tensions rise as MP calls cut”, The News 20/10/15). He doesn't say if he will close the mine should they breach these strict conditions. While all this is going on, Greg Hunt may remember that some weeks ago, I asked him to get the Turnbull government to restore the funding for the PenBus. He should do the right thing by his community: get the funding. His constituents deserve some reward continually for returning you into office. John Cain, McCrae
Feeling let down One could almost feel sorry for Flinders MP Greg Hunt, were it not for his actions. The GetUp delegation that was so graciously taken into his electoral office heard the spin and party line statements we all are so used to (“Ten-
Proudly Presents
Lah-Lah’s Big Live Band
sions rise as MP calls cut”, The News 20/10/15). After surviving this experience and not going mad, the protesters were assured that if they could get a letter detailing their concerns about the proposed Carmichael mine in Queensland, he would gladly receive it and hand it on to the Queensland government. Of course the innocent throng of concerned citizens assumed that this would mean he would not make any decisions on granting a permit for the said mine in the near future. How wrong they were. After a lot of hard work by many of the concerned citizen, to get the letter drafted and as many signatures as possible under it, we learned after a very few days that our glorious Minister for the Environment had granted this permit with great fanfare and spin about the many conditions which "surely" will protect our greatest natural asset from being adversely effected or even destroyed by this mega mine proposal. Let alone the effect on farming in the vicinity of this behemoth. So, in my humble opinion, I urge Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to please get rid of this survivour of the Abbott government. Greg Hunt appears to be still on this mantra of promising one thing and doing exactly the opposite, something that we so hated under Abbott. We feel a little let down Mr Hunt. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
DIY environment Global warming? Call it climate change. Falsify the readings, scientists need to get more finance and it’s not warming much lately. The hole in the ozone layer was to eliminate mankind years ago – now that’s crap. There have been predictions that dams will never fill, Perth and coastal towns will be ghost towns and raging bushfires everywhere last summer. Climate change ruined our southern [peninsula] beaches when anyone with a brain knows it was dredging at The Heads.

NEWS DESK better price. Heaven help our [Port Phillip] bay – but we will blame climate change. Our Great Barrier Reef, to be extinct so many tims? Strange how the environment seems to correct itself. That is not crap. I was captain/coach of Yallourn Football Club (1968-69) and coal sometimes caused problems over the beautiful English village. The washing would need a re-wash and my now healthy 52-year-old son would arrive home from kindergarten and need a bath. Driving past these days, little white puffs of steam emerge. Nothing like the photos we see. So please “crap” writers, apologise to [former prime minister Tony] Abbott. Don Palmer, Dromana
Pt Nepean a haven I recently visited the former Quarantine Station at Point Nepean National Park, Portsea, which was later used to house army medical staff. My friend and I were disgusted when we saw empty buildings which had been lying idle for many years that could be used to house the homeless, or refugees. We have a public housing crisis with people living in parks and bus shelters, children living behind barbed wire in refugee camps and the threat of civil war in Israel. Charity groups like the Salvos, St Vincent De Paul, Hanover and Mission Australia continue to scream out for facilities each day, yet I cannot understand why these perfectly good, solid buildings are only maintained by a couple of window cleaners just to please the tourist trade. My sister, who passed away at Easter, worked for Hanover and later Mission Australia as a case manager, and was always struggling to find suitable accommodation, just like the other charities. Why does a Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor want to spend $100 million on offices to house pen pushers when there are more important issues to consider? It’s about time the politicians and shire – which spends millions on leisure centres, yacht clubs and tourism – got their priorities in order. Fred Crump, Mornington
Manilla-bound in contest bid A Mt Eliza man will head to the Philippines next month to compete in the Mr Pancontinental contest and raise money to combat diabetes. John Stock, 26, is representing Australia in the quest in Manilla which he says is a tourism/ambassadorial role to promote international goodwill and raise awareness of the disease which affects people world-wide. “This is the first time I have done anything like this, but I am happy to compete for a worthy cause,” said Mr Stock, who runs his own electrical business. Despite never having modelled before, Mr Stock is at home playing sport. He represented Australia in men’s volleyball in Taipei this year, and has represented Victoria in beach handball, beach volleyball and indoor volleyball. Luck played a part in the Mr Pancontinental selection process: “The guy they already had pulled out, and I had been in contact with the [organisers] before, so they asked me to enter and I thought ‘Why not?’”. The judges will assess a contestant’s character, looks, personality and knowledge of diabetes. They will look for someone who can be a diabetes ambassador and educate people in their own country about the disease and help them live a diabetes-free lifestyle. With only three weeks to go
Talk about on GM
Contest hopeful: John Stock will represent Australia next month in the Mr Pancontinental quest to raise money to fight diabetes.
until the contest on 19 November, Mr Stock is planning fundraisers to advance his standing. He has a team of sponsors supporting him in his endeavour. Dinners, trivia nights and theme parties are all in the mix. “I have got to pay a certain percentage to the pageant organisers, so any way of raising money is being considered.” An appearance on the international stage could open doors into modelling and TV, he realises.
“There will be a lot of scouts there and it could be a stepping stone for an aspiring model and actor and, if something comes out of this, I will take it. “I would be crazy not to.” Donors are invited to click on the Facebook page Mr Pancontinental Australia 2015 where they can vote directly for their choice. Contestants who raise the most money go straight into the final. Stephen Taylor
A PUBLIC lecture on genetically manipulated food and healthy nutrition will be held 7pm, Friday 30 October, at Mt Eliza community hall, Mt Eliza. The South Eastern Centre for Sustainability will be hosting the lecture as part of its annual general meeting. President Steven Karakitsos says those attending would learn about the dangers of GM food and ways to improve their eating habits. “They will be able to change their lifestyles for the better with the advice of two outstanding cutting-edge activists and nutritionists Bob Phelps and Joey De Backer,” he said. Mr Phelps founded Gene Ethics in 1988 with the aim of protecting public health, environment and seed heritage from the impacts of genetically manipulated plants, animals and microbes. “We require sustainable food systems to feed everyone well when our climates change, and oil and phosphates run out,” he said. “New GM techniques, nanomaterials and food irradiation also challenge food safety. Strong scientific assessment, regulations and food labels are essential.” Ms De Backer is an accredited practising dietitian and holistic nutritionist, founder of Living Nutrition and creator of the Healthy Habits program. She promotes the consumption of slow food, that is: seasonal, local, organic and whole, which is not only healthier for us but for our planet, too. Changing our eating habits can be hard so she counsels clients on mindful eating and getting in tune with our bodies and our eating behaviours so we can make healthy choices. Music and light refreshments are included.

Sky’s the limit: Evocca College markets itself as a springboard for students to further their education and career. Picture: Gary Sissons
College’s marketing to students slammed Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A COLLEGE with a campus in Frankston has been criticised over its marketing practices in a Senate inquiry into the funding and management of vocational education and training (VET) providers and by an education sector regulator. The Senate inquiry report released this month named Evocca College as one of several registered training organisations (RTOs) across Australia to face accusations of targeting vulnerable students with little or no chance of completing courses to boost enrolment numbers and hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of profits. Evocca denied the allegations in submissions to the inquiry. The inquiry found evidence of “rampant abuse” by privately owned RTOs and called on the federal government to immediately reviewing funding of courses and the imposition of minimum standards for students eligibility to protect “the most vulnerable members of the community, including the long-term unemployed or disadvantaged, migrants and people with disabilities”. Students receive federal VET FEEHELP funding, paid for by taxpayers, to pay colleges such as Evocca for training and courses. Students
do not have to repay fees to the federal government until they earn at least $50,000 per year. Queensland-based Evocca College, which has more than 40 campuses across the country including a campus at Balmoral St in Frankston, markets itself as an education pathway provider to further study at university. The college also offers courses to “upskill” career prospects. The Senate report revealed payments to Evocca, mostly stumped up by taxpayers via federal government VET FEE-HELP funding, soared from $1.83 million in 2011 to $131.25 million in 2014. A substantial amount of the money paid to RTOs such as Evocca is unlikely to ever be repaid, according to the Senate inquiry findings. The Senate committee recommended that “given the evidence of rampant abuse, accelerating costs, and doubling of bad debt the government launches an immediate review into the operation and regulation of VET FEE-HELP.” Colleges were slammed by the Senate committee for offering so-called “free” iPads and laptops to entice students to sign up for courses costing up to $20,000 per year. The Senate inquiry noted a former tutor with Evocca College “expressed her concerns about seeing this technique in practice in the college’s marketing, particularly as it focused on
people for whom a ‘free’ computer or tablet would be a significant drawcard”. “I found the approach taken to recruit and screen students inappropriate. Promotional stands were set up in shopping centres during business hours, with iPads being the main promotional tool to attract students. Disadvantaged, unemployed people appeared to be Evocca’s main target audience,” former tutor Julie Skinner told the inquiry. “I’m sure many people signed up because they were delighted to be getting a ‘free’ iPad when in fact they didn’t really understand they were signing up for a $20,000 iPad.” In a submission to the Senate committee, Evocca claimed Ms Skinner had raised no objections to the college’s marketing or teaching methods while an employee. “Evocca’s mindset is that of educational experience. All staff believe that if a student is capable and willing to study, there should be no barriers preventing them from gaining an education,” its counter submission stated. “The Evocca teaching model is based on doing everything we can to support students and ensure that they remain as engaged as possible, with a robust system in place for the ongoing management of students, including regular one-to-one catch ups with tutors, to ensure that these objectives are achieved.”
The Senate’s final report on VET providers was released on Friday 16 October and last week the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), a federal government watchdog, released the findings of its audit on 21 private colleges after a jump in student complaints about VET FEE-HELP. The ASQA said just eight of the 21 education providers audited were fully compliant with VET FEE-HELP regulations. One company, Phoenix Institute, had its registration for VET FEE-HELP revoked and six providers will face “ongoing regulatory scrutiny”. Evocca was one of seven colleges “able to demonstrate full compliance with the relevant requirements at the conclusion of the audit”, the ASQA said. The ASQA chief commissioner Chris Robinson will work with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, consumer law agencies and the Department of Education and Training to monitor all RTOs’ compliance with VET FEE-HELP regulations. The audit by the ASQA found Evocca College had “non-compliance with the Standards regarding the RTO’s assessment system, the accuracy of its marketing, and its complaint and appeals policies and procedures”. “In response, the RTO provided rectification evidence of how it had
addressed these matters,” the ASQA report noted. Evocca has had conditions imposed on its operations and must now “retain enrolment and assessment records for 12 months” and “report data back to [the] ASQA on a regular basis”. Evocca College referred The News to a media statement previously released by CEO Craig White when questioned about the Senate report findings and the conditions imposed by the ASQA. “We look forward to continuing to provide ASQA with any information that it may request,” Mr White in the statement. “As an industry leader we fully support the various legislation and initiatives that have been and will be put in place that will assist in ensuring a quality regulated industry for students.” Evocca founder Robert Gordon stepped down as CEO in June following allegations about “unethical practices and low graduation rates” aired on ABC’s 7.30 Report. ABC reported Evocca had received more than $400 million in VET-FEE HELP funding nationally. Evocca did not reply before publication to questions about graduation rates at its Frankston campus and VETFEE HELP funding repayments by Frankston students.

First-of-its-kind report provides picture of breast cancer in young Australian women
r e v e n s i e g d e l w o n K
. . . n o i h s a f out of
A report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) for the first time presents information and statistics about breast cancer in young women aged 20–39 years. The report, Breast cancer in young women: Key facts about breast cancer in women in their 20s and 30s, was launched this morning at Cancer Australia’s annual Pink Ribbon Breakfast, in Sydney. ‘In 2015, it is projected that 795 young women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and 65 will die from it, which is an average of 2 diagnoses a day and 1 death a week,’ said AIHW spokesperson Justin Harvey. In 2007–11, women aged 20–39 had an 88% chance of surviving for five years after diagnosis, compared to the 90% survival rate for women aged 40 and over. This is an improvement from 1982–1986, when five-year survival for this age group was 72%. ‘When looking at breast cancer in young women, we see a higher proportion of very large breast cancers (>=50mm) diagnosed (8%) than in older women (6%). Very large breast cancers are associated with lower survival than small breast cancers (<15mm)’ Mr Harvey said. However, even for small breast cancers— which tend to be associated with more treatment options and improved survival—young women
have lower survival (93%) than women aged 40 and over (99%). Cancer Australia CEO Professor Helen Zorbas has welcomed today’s report, saying ‘Although the number of young women diagnosed with breast cancer has increased over time, the incidence rate has remained stable over the past three decades’. ‘These young women are at a life stage in which they are building careers, establishing relationships and planning for a family. Issues such as infertility, early menopause and body image as well as time away from work and family can have a substantial impact, with long term physical, psychological and social effects’. ‘This report informs our understanding of the impact of breast cancer among young women at a national level, and supports our work in improving survival outcomes and addressing psychosocial issues specific to young women.’ The AIHW is a major national agency set up by the Australian Government to provide reliable, regular and relevant information and statistics on Australia’s health and welfare. Cancer Australia was established by the Australian Government to provide national leadership in cancer control, and aims to reduce the impact of cancer, address disparities and improve outcomes for people affected by cancer across the continuum of care.
EVERY DAY TWO WOMEN UNDER 40 ARE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease. You don’t have to be an expert or use a special technique. Take the time to get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts as part of your daily routine, for example, while showering, dressing or looking in the mirror. Knowing what is normal for you will help you to detect any new breast changes. It’s never too early to start being breast aware.
CHANGES TO LOOK FOR INCLUDE: - a new lump or lumpiness, especially if it’s only in one breast - a change in the size or shape of your breast - a change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion - a nipple discharge - a change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling - an unusual pain that doesn’t go away. Most breast changes are not due to cancer – but see your doctor to be sure. ,I \RX ÀQG D EUHDVW FKDQJH WKDW LV QHZ RU XQXVXDO IRU \RX see your GP without delay.

It’s never too late to get fit CONTRARY to popular belief, personal trainers are not the gym junkies people think of. Take Anytime Fitness personal trainer, Tom Saunders, who started out personal training five years ago after suffering back injuries as a young guy. Now the 40-year-old is fit and loving life and wants to share that with his clients. “I played high level sports as a youngster and hurt my back at the age of 20 when I was landscaping. I had ten years of pain before they worked out what was wrong and now I want to help other people avoid the pain I went through,” says Tom, a mad keen surfer, dancer, and avid reader. Tom says it’s very simple to be fit and healthy. It just takes a little bit of encouragement from the right personal trainer. “I am currently at university finishing a double degree in physical education and health science; so that I can help my clients to understand better how to get their body working at its best. I love teaching people all about their posture and nutrition and basically how to look after themselves,” he said. Tom takes a rather holistic approach to personal training, saying that it’s not just about looking muscular and toned on the outside. “You can look fit externally, but its inside
that’s just as important. Each person is different so we sit down and does a full assessment – go through diet and exercise, hobbies and social activities, and work out the best program for each individual person.” Tom’s love of reading is what brought him to the book ‘Primal Blueprint’ by Mark Sisson. “I read this book and realised it was focusing on how our bodies are wired to function, and that we must work in the boundaries of what’s healthy and not moving to the extreme. It’s the whole body optimal health approach,” says Tom. “You can look healthy on the outside but you may not be healthy on the inside.” Tom trains the whole spectrum of clients, from young adults to the elderly, as well as a lot of work with special needs people. “I have clients with body image issues, people around my age who have just decided it’s time to look after themselves, young kids, sports teams, and weight loss clients,” says Tom, who writes individual programs for each, after looking at the background, posture and muscular imbalances, and nutritional imbalances. Living proof that it’s never too late to get fit, Tom is at Anytime Fitness in Mornington, Level 1, 105 Main Street, Mornington. Phone 5973 6667.
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Message in a bottle finds way home Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday, when there will be a good muster of cattle, etc., as advertised. *** OWING to Tuesday next, November 2 (Cup Day), being proclaimed a public holiday there will only be the one delivery of letters—in the morning—at Frankston Post Office. There will also be only the morning despatch of mails. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council will be held at Somerville on Thursday next, at which tenders will be received for a number of works which are advertised in an other column. *** WE are pleased to note that Captain Sherlock has so far recovered from the severe injuries received by him while in camp at Seymour, that he has now left the hospital and is allowed to return to his home at Frankston. *** AT St Paul’s Church, Frankston, last Sunday, the whole of the collections were in aid of the Hospital Fund. The amount received (£4 6s 6d), was very gratifying — being more than has been given even at most prosperous times. *** THE preacher at St Paul’s Church Frankston, tomorrow (Sunday) night, will be Rev A. J. Thompson of Tyabb and Somerville. Rev G. A. Kitchen will be preaching at Tyabb, in connec-
tion with the Church Festival. *** ATTENTION is drawn to Messrs Brody and Mason’s advertisement in another column, of an extensive clearing sale of household furniture and sundries, which takes place today (Saturday) at their mart, Bay street, Frankston, where the goods have been brought from Oakleigh and district for convenience of sale. The sale is a large and miscellaneous one, and will commence at 2 o’clock punctually. *** THE Langwarrin Tennis Club has just completed another tournament for a prize donated by the club, the victor being Mr C. Ludwig. This is the second tournament this year. The previous one fell to Mr H. Carrs, the trophy being a very fine racket and press, the gift of the president of the club, Mr W. Williams, of Rupertstan. The arrangements were well carried out by the hon. sec., Miss Kelso. It is proposed to have an afternoon party today at the court when the trophy will be presented to Mr Ludwig. Arrangements are in progress for a return match with Clyde at an early date. *** AN interesting lecturette will be given in the Somerville Agricultural Hall on Friday evening next entitled, “The Errors and Graces of Speech,” “Literature and the War,” by Mr Robert Jones, Principal of the Individual Tuition College, Melbourne, the funds to be given to the Somerville Red Cross Society. Mr Jones is giving his services free of
expense to the society. From the title of the lecture it should prove intellectual and humorous, and those attending besides benefiting a worthy object will enjoy a pleasant and profitable evening. *** AN interesting lecture was delivered in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Thursday evening, by Professor Mudd, on behalf of the Methodist Home Mission Fund. The title of the lecture was “ Will we win this war”. The chair was occupied by Professor Adams, of Ormond College, and there was a good attendance, who were kept thoroughly interested for upwards of two hours. The lecturer was quite convinced that victory would eventually be won by the Allies, and based his belief on the superiority of the British both in numbers and valor, and also quoting ancient history in proof of his argument that might never yet overcome right, and that the Kaiser and his following would eventually have to bow to the inevitable. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the Professor on the conclusion of the lecture. *** THE annual installation and investiture of officers of the New Frankston Lodge, No 217, took place on Friday last in the Lodge Room. The ceremony was performed by grand lodge officers. There was also a good attendance of members from sister lodges. The following officers were duly in stalled:—W.M. Bro W. P. Mason;
I.P.M. Wor Bro G. May; S.M. Bro J. A. Benson; J.W. Bro W. Armstrong; Treasurer, Bro. F. G. Plummer; Secretary, Bro, Mark Brody; DC., Wor. Bro. W. H. Schultz; Almoner, Wor. Bro. T. S. Robinson; S.D., Bro. W. M. Hanton; J.D., Bro F. G. Hanton ; Inner Guard. Bro E M. M’Comb; Tyler, Wor Bro T. Nichols; Stewards, Bros C. E. Wood, W. M. Billings and S. B. Fletcher. At the conclusion of the business the brethren were invited to a banquet, at which the usual masonic toasts were duly honored and responded to. A good programme of songs and recitations was rendered during the evening, and a most enjoyable time was spent. *** WHILE walking along the beach, near the Mile Bridge, Frankston, a few days ago, Mr J. Reynolds picked up a sealed bottle, and on opening it found a sheet of paper with the following writing on it :—”Private Westaback.— Received bottle of wine, saved six lives. Return bottle to owner, Mrs. O. Windley, Empire Theatre, Coventry street, South Melbourne—Love to Ethel— G. O Downing, S. Warwick, D. Mc’Cormick.” Mr Reynolds followed out the instructions and forwarded the note to address named, and received the following letter in reply.—”Empire Theatre, Coventry St, South Melbourne.—Dear Sir.— Just a line to let you know we received the note you found in the bottle. It was thrown off the transport — last Monday week by my husband. I
sent him a parcel just before the boat sailed, and the bottle of wine was in it. I suppose they thought there might be a chance of someone finding it, I was very pleased to get it. The lady it was addressed to was his sister, and she gave it to me. The names of the men on the back were his mates, I expect he put them there to let us know who had it. Thanking you for your kindness. I remain yours.—E. Westerbeck.” *** IN response to the appeal from Gallipoli for Sugar Bags, the Frankston branch will receive and forward to the Melbourne Town Hall any bags that are available from this district. They may be left at the Mechanics’ every second Wednesday (November 10th, November 24th, and December 8th) or with any member of the Committee. The size required is the 70lb bag, and it is requested that if possible each should be patched, and that a tape should be sewn at one side about quarter distance from the top. The third installment of articles, sent away from the Frankston branch to the Central Depot, Federal Government house, on the 13th October consisted of five cases containing:—22 flannel shirts, 10 cotton shirts, 4 cotton pyjama suits 3 flannelette pyjama suits, 70 pr socks, 9 surgeon’s gowns 12 pillow-slips, 12 hospital bags 6 hospital bags, 6 face washers, 3 helmets, 3prs mittens, 3 prs slippers, 1 kid-lined vest, 1 drawsheet, 80 bandages.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Fozzie, Fozzie, Fozzie; Oi, Oi, Oi By Stuart McCullough THERE’S no other way of saying it: everything has changed. It’s not a case of a few cushions here or a stick of furniture there; life has altered in a manner that is far more fundamental. Instead of our old life where we did what we wanted when we wanted, we are now in a perpetual state of readiness, in which are spring-loaded to leap to attention in an instant. For the ranks of our household have swollen from two to three after the arrival of our dog. Already I have been asked what having a puppy has been like. I answer that it’s a lot like having a demanding houseguest, albeit one who’s spectacularly incontinent. We named her ‘Fozzie’. This is partly because she sort-of looks like a bear but mostly because my wife wouldn’t let me call her ‘Beyonce’. We consulted far and wide as to a suitable name and receive a veritable avalanche of suggestions including ‘Luna’, ‘Cinder’ and (my personal favourite) ‘Patricia’. The true test of a dog’s name is whether you are willing to yell it out whilst at the local dog park. It was on this basis, that ‘Beyonce’ was discounted from consideration at an early stage. However, as with any name, a number of variations have already developed, including, ‘Fozzie-a-tron’, ‘Fozz-o-matic’, ‘Fozz-tastic’ and ‘Fozzalicious’. Remarkably, she responds to all of these. But having a dog means change by the bucket load. As someone who is not so much resistant to change as flatout allergic to it, this presents all manner of challenges. These started early
PAGE 68
when my sixteen year-old nephew Jake and I were directed to take a trip to the local pet store for things the pup could chew on. Specifically, we were told to purchase an item made (and there’s just no delicate way to put this)
Mornington News 27 October 2015
of bovine genitals. I am not the kind of person who feels comfortable walking into a shop, slapping my hand down on the counter and then demanding, in a loud and clear voice, to be directed to the supply of
bull junk. Rather, this is a delicate task that requires the upmost of discretion. The trouble with an item like this is that, for reasons of general politeness, it’s destined to be called something other than what it is. But, try as we might, we couldn’t identify anything that might be some poor creature’s family jewels. Despite our best efforts, we had to ask for help. The weird thing about pet stores is that it’s kind of like Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory, with ears and snouts and other assorted bits of anatomy available for purchase. Inevitably, those working at the pet store were all young and female, which added substantially to the general level of creepiness involved. Rather than flat-out ask, I decided to embark on a far more subtle form of interrogation. I started by asking whether the store could recommend something for a dog to chew. A mere three hours later, an exhausted shop assistant introduced Jake and I to something called ‘the bully stick’. Gently, I enquired as to the ingredients, whereupon the sales assistant turned a deep shade of puce before admitting that a ‘bully stick’ was, in fact, the former family jewels of a certain quadruped. Glory be, our epic search was over! Better yet, we had managed to track down the elusive ‘bully stick’ without having to ask for its contents by name. However, much of our good work was undone when, upon hearing that a bully stick was, indeed, bull genitals, my nephew and I responded by punching the sky and high-fiving. ‘I’ll take two!’ I cried, before demanding that they be
gift-wrapped. Our living room has been transformed. Aside from the occasional bully stick, there are weird soft toys everywhere. I have named them all. There’s ‘Captain Octopus’, ‘Super Duck’ and ‘Justin Beaver’ and some blue thing that I can’t quite identify as being anything in particular and which I may end up calling ‘Le Freak’. Then there are all kinds of chew toys, ‘Kongs’ (which are kind of like canine Pez dispensers), ropes and tug toys. Whereas once our house neat and pristine, with cushions artfully positioned beside books and magazines, it now looks like a dog’s treasure chest has recently exploded. Training continues apace. So far, we have mastered ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘rollover’. Now we just need to teach these things to the dog and we’ll be set. Granted, there have been some unfortunate incidents of which I do not wish to say too much, save that it has completely transformed my relationship to urine. Whilst she’s learning quickly, I beginning to suspect that I’ve been too ambitious. Granted, it’s still early days. But at this stage my plans to teach Fozzie how to dive a manual aren’t looking too flash. I’m not sure if I was mentally unready or whether it’s not really possible to prepare for a change of this magnitude. Soon, though, what is novel will become routine. What now feels like upheaval will simply be a part of everyday life. So be it. It’s funny that something so small and furry should teach us exactly that. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE BASICS: THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME By Neil Walker GOTYE has gone back to The Basics and the band is dropping in on Mornington as part of their national tour in support of their latest The Age of Entitlement album. Guitarist Tim Heath says The Basics drummer Wally De Backer, known as the solo artist Gotye, is heading back to Australia from the US where he is recording the follow-up to his commercially successful Making Mirrors album which spawned the global smash Somebody That I Used To Know. Heath says November’s Mornington gig, the last in the tour, will be “pretty energetic and perhaps emotional” amid hints The Basics may call it a day. Although if the band does break up permanently it will not be due to any jealousy or bitchiness over De Backer’s success as Gotye. Far from being somebody that Gotye’s longterm bandmates used to know, Heath joked De Backer’s modesty and ability to remain unfazed by commercial success means The Basics, who have been together since 2004, are able to work together again without any egomania dominating proceedings. Heath admits though that he, De Backer and bassist Kris Schroeder now play shorter tours when they hit the road. “I think we really enjoy playing together and in the last few years we’ve sort of done it sporadically and the tours have been shorter because the older you get the harder it is to go on the road. You get tired and grumpy more easily so we’ve sort of made them shorter so our tempers don’t flare as much.” Gotye’s global success hasn’t put a downer on The Basics. Heath admits it was “surreal” but “fantastic” to see and hear Somebody That I Used To Know, featuring Kimbra, suddenly take off across the world. “We had a three-year hiatus and in that time
I was in France, Spain and Portugal and that was when the song really went big. I’d hear it on every radio station in those countries. “Wally never really talks himself up and I don’t think he sees certain achievements that others would so highly. When he got nominated for a Grammy I was on the phone to him that day and having a regular chat. I didn’t know about it and he didn’t even mention it.” As for The Basics the latest tour comes in the wake of the release of the band’s eighth album called The Age of Entitlement, a phrase used by the now departed Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey who described the country as “a nation of lifters, not leaners” when he delivered his controversial 2014 budget which many regarded as unfair on poorer Australians. It’s a departure from The Basics’ indie-pop rock roots and sees the band addressing the state and shame of the nation as they see it. Schroeder wrote most of the songs for The Age of Entitlement album before The Basics headed off to the UK to record the tracks at the Abbey Road Studios in London, made famous by The Beatles who often recorded there and named their 1969 Abbey Road album in its honour. “Kris came back with some songs that were political and Wally and I looked at each other and went ‘this is a bit different’ but I think we all agreed that the sentiment was something we all shared and agreed on,” Heath said. “The songs seemed to me not so much political but more social. A comment about culture and a part of the Australian psyche that was becoming complacent, complaining about things but not doing a lot about it.” The opening lines from album opener Whatever Happened to the Working Class? leaves listeners in no doubt about who The Basics
mostly blame for Australia’s cultural malaise: ‘Whatever happened to the working class?/ We’ve got politicians sitting on their arse/ Whittling away at the few rights that we’ve got left/I was listening to the radio and how big business stole the show and I wonder ‘who’s there to stop them now?’’. The not so great Australian public are also condemned for their indifference to politics in the album’s lyrics. Heath notes: “I think most Australians are very lucky to be able to live relatively comfortably and it’s quite easy to forget we’re quite safe in our houses compared to most people in the world and that things like big-screen televisions and swimming pools start to take up most of what’s been discussed or thought about by a certain section of the community.” The Basics themselves decided to “have a go” at politics to show complacency enables politicians to often fail to represent their community’s best interests. The Basics Rock’n’Roll Party registered to contest an Upper House seat at last year’s Victorian election. Heath says winning a seat was always a long shot but the party’s formation “was a way to show people could go out and become a politician and try to change things rather than just sit on the couch and complain about it”. “It started off as an idea to show people who are generally pissed off with the state of Australian politics who feel disempowered somewhat that anyone can start a political party. All you need is members and then you’re on the ballot paper. We hoped that people would see that and think they may give it a go next time. So it’ll be interesting to see if it had any effect.” Recording The Age of Entitlement was a dream come true for The Basics since the trio
are big fans of The Beatles, Heath said. “The first time we walked in it was pretty amazing. I was pretty speechless because everything is quite original but it’s also a working studio. “You’re walking down the corridors and there’s old tape machines that have been used since the ‘40s and ‘50s and of course Studio Two where The Beatles recorded still looks the same so you look at photos of them and then you walk in there and it’s amazing. “All the microphones are still there. For one take we did the engineer called for ‘the John Lennon microphone’. It’s really cool and neat they haven’t sold it or auctioned it off to a museum or something.” “I recorded a couple of tracks on a piano they recorded A Day in the Life on ... just to sit there ... is kind of surreal.” As hinted earlier, The Basics future days in the life are clouded but, if the Mornington gig is the end of the road forever for the band, Heath reckons The Age of Entitlement is as good a way as any to go out raging against the dying of the light (on the hill). Not many bands speak out about how politics shapes culture now after protest music peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s. “It may be one of the last records we make, I’m not sure,” Heath said. “Maybe we thought it is time to maybe make a comment on Australian society. I think sometimes it is important for artists to make people think politically and socially ... and show a different perspective on the world.” The Basics play The Grand Hotel, 124 Main Street Mornington on Sunday 1 November, doors open 7pm. Tickets $25. See moshtix. com.au or call The Grand Hotel on 03 5975 2001. Mornington News 27 October 2015

THE BLUES OF SUMMER When you get a combination of love for the waters of Victoria with the capacity to represent that love on hug, flowing canvases, nature meets art. One such lucky person is Annette Spinks who resides where she hears the breaking waves and
smells the salt breeze as it drifts into her studio. These auditory and sensory impacts are reflected instantaneously onto the canvas that is poised before her. Annette believes herself incredibly lucky, “I am blessed with my location, I adore paintings
and I’m appreciative of all the people who encourage me with my sea driven artworks.” Annette Spinks is joining other artists at Manyung Gallery Sorrento with ‘The Blues Of Summer’ exhibition commencing on Saturday 31st October.
COME TO NOELS WHERE ART LIVES Noels Gallery has been a long time landmark on the Mornington Peninsula, the original building erected in 1929. Left vacant for some time, local couple Craig and Rebecca Davy have just purchased the property and have been hard at work renovating and bringing back to life the amazing Edna Wallinginspired garden. Rebecca originally opened Flinders Fine Art Gallery in 2002 and Sorrento Fine Art Gallery later. Both galleries have been relocated to Noels of Red Hill which opened three weeks ago. The gallery showcases over fifty paintings, silver and pearl handmade jewellery, glass sculptures, glass baubles, vases, paperweights and much more. The café opened Saturday October 24, 8am for breakfast and lunch. Some items on the menu include a selection of Turkish Rolls, Gluten Free Muesli, Chia pudding, Slices, Cakes, BLT’s and a selection of Vegan Pizza and wholesome salads. Tease Tea, Mailing Room Coffee and a selection of cold drinks are also available. The café will be licensed before the end of the year. A picturesque location to come for a casual, relaxed morning or afternoon. The deck out the back offers expansive views and a paddock for the kids to run and play. The gallery provides a wonderful space to explore works from the talented artists of the Mornington Peninsula. Over the long weekend an artist will be painting on location. For more information or bookings please contact Rebecca on 5989 2203. www.peninsulagalleries.com.au

Baxter rocket up to fourth PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER rocketed from the bottom of the MPCA Provincial ladder to the top four on Saturday after a demolition on Rye that resulted in an outright win. After scoring a very modest 205 with just three batsmen making double figures, the Baxter bowlers then went to work and knocked over 18 wickets on the second day. Rye resumed at 2/12 on Saturday and added just six runs before the wickets started to tumble again. Andrew Hitchener (17) and Dean Collins (12) were the only Demons to get into double figures. Rye was dismissed the first time
around in the 30th over for just 48. Chamika Sattambi took 6/17 off 10.3 overs and Dale Irving helped himself to 3/21. Rye faired a little better in the second innings, however, it didn’t stop them from being rolled for 88. Hitchener again top scored with 21. Ben Matters was the pick of the bowlers for Baxter in the second innings, picking-up 4/30, while Irving took 3/38 off 11. Mornington got its season back on track after beating Moorooduc in a close one. Defending 177, Mornington had the Ducs in some early strife at the conclusion of day one at 3/30 with Luke Popov claiming 2/12. However, Leigh Lambert (37) and
Michael Whincup (37) offered some resistance in the middle order and took the score past 100 for the loss of just four wickets. The Ducs then lost 4/17 and the Doggies were back in command. Sam Adams (14) and Ross Cordeux (10) gave the home side a sniff late in the game and got the score to 164 before Jack Heseltine picked-up his second wicket and handed Mornington the 12 points. Sorrento cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Langwarrin at Shark Park. Chasing 238, Sorrento cruised past the target with the loss of just two wickets. Nick Jewell was not out 84 at the conclusion of the 67th over when
Sorrento past the total, while Jedd Falck was not out at the other end on 65. Earlier, opener Kane Gordon scored 52 and put-on a 52-run opening partnership with Corey Harris (22). Somerville’s Matty Roach was named the RPP player of the match after he picked-up 4/44 to help his side to a comfortable 79-run win against Mt Eliza. The Eagles started well and had the Redlegs 2/10 before Justin Grant (54) come to the crease. However, other than Matthew Travena, who scored 39, the Redlegs were never in the contest. While Roach claimed four wickets, Jack Kennedy snared 3/54 and Russell Wilkes 3/23.
Peninsula Old Boys made light work of Crib Point, winning by almost 200 runs. Defending 8/301, the Old Boys worked the Magpies over and rolled them in the 56th over for just 108. Rob Hearn top scored for the Pies with 30. Long Island had no problems defending its 9/263 against Pines. Pines was bowled out for 188 in the 69th over, thanks largely to 30 runs each from number nine and 10 batsmen Nick Wilcox and Rick Anstiss. Earlier in the day, Craig Entwhistle top scored with 73 for Pines. Scott Phillips was dominant for the Islanders with 6/67 from 25 overs, while Jake Middleton and Andrew Tweddle claimed two wickets each.
Panthers step up to set early pace DISTRICT By IT Gully RED HILL, Seaford, Pearcedale and Baden Powell hold the top four positions on the MPCA District ladder after just two rounds. Pearcedale could be considered the surprise packet of the quartet, given the Panthers are the new kids on the block in District ranks. However, when you pull-in a recruit such as Shane Maggs, who has been playing District cricket for more than 10 years, your fortunes are going to change considerably. On Saturday, Maggs snared 3/12 and 4/49 as Pearcedale destroyed Boneo. Defending a whopping 288, the Panthers then rolled the Pandas for 72 with Maggs taking three and Kane Smith (3/18) and Shayne Gillings (2/10) also getting in on the act. The home side was forced to put the pads on again and have a second crack. They faired better but still lost 6/99 before the game was called to a close. Cam Williams scored an unbeaten
S A L E
42 in the second innings to save Boneo from an embaressing outright defeat. Red Hill resumed at 4/44 against Carrum, chasing 152. The game was in the balance at the beginning of day two. However, by the end of the day’s play, the Hillmen had against flexed their collective muscles and made an opposition look second rate. The visitors amassed 8/299 with Matt Merifield belting 132 before being run out. Skipper Simon Dart helped himself to 84 and Luke Toy scored 25. Red Hill batted for 86 overs. Jeremy Graves had 3/16 overnight for the Lions and finished with 3/52. Baden Powell made light work of Seaford Tigers, scoring 9/236 in reply to the Tigers 126. Resuming at 1/89, the Braves were just 38 runs away from victory with nine wickets in hand when play on day two resumed. The Braves lost their second wicket with the score on 115 and by the time the third wicket fell, they had won the game.
Opener Tom Wood top scored for the Braves with 84, while Ryan Barnett scored an unbeaten 50. Matty Meagher picked-up 4/66 to be the best of the Tigers’ bowlers, while Corey Hand snared 3/55. Seaford kept the pressure on Main Ridge in their contest on day two to win by 36 runs. Resuming at 3/41, chasing Seaford’s 201, the Ridge looked good early with Gareth Wyatt (67) and Billy Sakalis (55) taking the score to 128 without loss. However, 3/128 quickly became 6/142 and the Ridge were in a world of pain. Paul Hartle was the pick of the bowlers with 4/42, while Tiron Fernando claimed 3/37 on debut. An ‘oh so close’ century to Nick Christides (99) guided Delacombe Park to a strong win against Mt Martha. Joel Malcolm was also solid for the Parkers with 46 to help them to 223, chasing 188 for victory. Kyle Bendle was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers with 6/46.

By IT Gully DROMANA is in a very unfamiliar position after two rounds of the MPCA Sub District season – on top of the ladder. The Hoppers made light work of Hastings on Saturday, rolling the visitings for just 102. Recruit Aaron Kaddatz once again proved he is going to destroy this competition after claiming 5/21, while Jeff Bluhm bowled 18 overs and snared 4/41. Nathan Hunt top scored for the Blues with 32, while skipper Timmy Birch did all that he could with an unbeaten 28. Tootgarook went for the outright win against Tyabb, falling six wickets short. The Yabbies made just 106 in their first innings before the Frogs came out and blasted 55 in the final 16 overs of the day on day one. The home side came out swinging on the second day too, racing to 1/208 in 42 overs before declaring. The Frenchman got the job done for the Frogs, Rob scoring 82 and Travis 63. Tootgarook used nine bowlers in the second innings to try and get the 10 wickets required for the outright. James Holland-Burch prevented them from doing so with an unbeaten 45, while recruit Michael Edwards scored 39. Matt Whelan took 2/11 after snaring five wickets in the first innings. Ballam Park got the job done against Carrum Downs in a tight one, winning by just 11 runs. Chasing 199 for victory, the Knights got there with one wicket in hand. At one stage the Knights were 8/179.
Jarryd Ward top scored for the winners with 47 while Zac Clements’ 24 batting at nine was match winning. Stuart Swift was the pick of the Cougars’ bowlers with 4/58 while Ryan Lynch snared three wickets. Frankston YCW didn’t have any problems picking up the runs required to beat Balnarring. Chasing 136 for victory, the Stonecats resumed at 2/71 with Jason Bedford 32no. Bedford went on to make 59 while Paul Bradley scored 41. The Stonecats called it a day with the score on 8/234. Rosebud smashed Skye by nearly 200 runs. Defending 9/316, the Buds bowled-out Skye for just 138. Jason Nagel bowled 25 overs and finished with 4/33, while Billy Quigley and Peter Doughty claimed a couple of wickets each. Neil Earnshaw top scored for Skye with 41.
