By Mike HastIT’S the end of an era in Rosebud this week when Carrington Park Club leaves its headquarters of almost 50 years and moves to Eagle Ridge golf course in Rye.

A developer bought Carrington Park’s clubhouse and its 10 blocks of land in Elizabeth Drive opposite Rose-bud Park public golf course in March for about $3 million, saving the club from fi nancial ruin.

The News understands the devel-oper will build seven or eight houses on the land, which is high up on the Arthurs Seat escarpment overlook-ing the southern peninsula, Port Phil-lip, Bass Strait and even the towers of Melbourne on a clear day – a million dollar view.

Carrington Park Club has been under fi nancial pressure for some time, fac-ing rising costs including maintaining its old clubhouse, once the private resi-dence of the Moran family of Moran and Cato grocery chain fame.

It was later bought by Pat McLaren, who owned a large tract of land in the area and sold the house and land to the club.

Members were confronted with a tough decision about 15 months ago – sell up or face oblivion.

Recently elected president Wayne Harvey said “a majority of members voted to realise our assets”, agreeing to sell the 80-year-old clubhouse, the

old lawn bowls pavilion and surround-ing land, which included two bowling greens abandoned last year when the bowls section of the club was closed to save costs.

Carrington Park Club selling up and moving out of Rosebud has dismayed and angered many long-time members including life members. Emotions ran high at several meetings when the sale was being considered.

One group of members will not move and has formed the nucleus of a new golf club based at Rosebud Park public golf course opposite Carrington Park Club.

Carrington Park was once “the place to be” – a hive of sporting and social activity in the 1970s and 1980s. Foot-ball club sportsmen’s nights were a highlight.

It had hundreds of members play-ing golf at Rosebud Park (or Rosebud public as it’s known) and bowls on the greens that back onto Arthurs Seat State Park. There was a pigeon racing section, thriving darts and billiards competitions, and other activities.

Carrington Park Club golfers used Rosebud public. Casual golfers were able to use Carrington Park’s facilities, celebrating a good game or commiser-ating a shocking round.

The course became so popular that a breakaway group formed and founded Rosebud Country Club off Boneo Rd.

CYCLING is a huge recreation sport but true stalwarts are the ones who have cycled around Port Phillip, a gruelling 250 kilometres, on what was known as Around the Bay in a Day when it started 21 years ago.

On the weekend, the event – now called Around the Bay: Fundraise for The Smith Family, and regarded as one of Melbourne’s major sporting events – again attracted thousands of mamils (middle-aged men in lycra) as well as

women and those not in their middle years.

A key element of the ride is the respite gained when riders cross between Sorrento and Queenscliff (or vice versa) aboard Searoad ferries’ MV Queenscliff, MV Sorrento and MV Peninsula Princess, the original ferry that started in 1987.

About 2700 riders took part in 1993, with another 1000 knocked back due to lack of ferry capacity.

Last year more than 17,000 riders

entered. A similar fi gure was expected on Sunday but strong northerlies may have put off some entrants.

The wind abated in the afternoon, making the journey back to Melbourne easier.

By Keith PlattRED Hill Ward councillor Frank Mar-tin is standing fi rm against pressure to vote according to the wishes of com-munity groups in his ward.

“It is not appropriate for various seg-ments of the community to direct me on the way I should vote,” Cr Martin said.

“The Local Government Act requires that councillors act with integrity, and impartially exercise their responsibili-ties in the interest of the community, both at ward level and whole of the shire.

“In taking the oath of offi ce when I was elected, I did so with the full un-derstanding that I was representing some 12,300 electors from within the Red Hill Ward.”

Cr Martin’s comments were made in response to minutes made after a meet-

ing he had last month with the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group.

The minutes reveal the meeting was held up when members of the group objected to Cr Martin being accompa-nied by two offi cers from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Discussions after the offi cers eventu-ally left centred on Cr Martin’s role in representing the views of community groups and the lack of “direct benefi t” the ward was receiving from the shire.

Despite being told to “consider his position”, the minutes state, Cr Martin ruled out any chance of resigning.

Rumblings of discontent about the performance of Cr Martin fi rst sur-faced in May. He was re-elected for a second term in October 2012.

The sprawling Red Hill Ward stretch-es from St Andrews Beach in the west to HMAS Cerberus in the east and extends north-south from Merricks to

Flinders. It includes Shoreham, Som-ers, Flinders, Cape Schanck, Red Hill, Balnarring Beach, Point Leo, Main Ridge and parts of Arthurs Seat.

Some residents see the ward as be-ing under threat from state government plans to effectively “urbanise” Mel-bourne’s green wedge land.

Earlier this year, members of com-munity groups said they were frustrat-ed over some of their dealings with Cr Martin on issues including his voting pattern, his position on subjects such as the proposed Dromana quarry tip, his unknown stance on green wedge land, and support for a brewery and restaurant complex at Cape Schanck.

When contacted last week by The News, Cr Martin said he was “ex-tremely disappointed” that the minutes of the consultative group “have been forwarded to you, without my know-ledge or consent”.

Cr Martin described the meeting as “a private meeting between me and members of the community”.

“I will continue to represent the needs of the ward and the shire, and will reject any attempt by individuals to direct me on how I should vote.”

The minutes of the 9 September meeting at the shire’s Rosebud offi ce show it was attended by David Mad-docks (Red Hill Community Action), Christine Haydon (Peninsula Speaks), Irene Wyld (Friends of Cape Schanck) and Peter Hall, Peter Monie and Nev-ille Wale (Flinders Community Asso-ciation)

The minutes state Mr Hall “raised the concern about the voting position of FM [Frank Martin] at council meet-ings and in particular that there were cases where FM voted against the wishes of his constituents”.

“FM explained that he had to balance

up all the representations and vote ac-cordingly,” the minutes state.

“PH said that FM should ‘consider his position’ and ‘resignation’ may be an option. FM said ‘that is not going to happen’. PH pointed out there were three more budgets before the next election and the ward should get a bet-ter deal.”

Cr Martin was asked to “develop a ‘personal vision’ for the ward and the peninsula rather than adopting the shire’s ‘line’ as Cr Martin represented the constituents who elected him and not the shire”.

It was suggested that the group could “feed into” Cr Martin’s “vision” to demonstrate “how he has been or will be able to infl uence policy”.

Cr Martin said there could be a way of him receiving “better input” from the ward group members before coun-cil meetings.

MORNINGTON Peninsula’s visitor information centre at Dromana is seeking volunteers.

Alva Hemming, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s executive tourism offi cer, said the centre was a hive of activity year-round, answering questions from 80,000 visitors about 300 peninsula tourism businesses.

“Volunteers provide information, update databases, restock brochure shelves, enter visitor statistics and meet and greet a wide variety of newcomers to the area at the front counter.

“Dale Pizzey has volunteered at the centre for 10 years and says it’s lovely talking to people from all over the world.”

Ms Pizzey said the work was varied. “You never know what enquiries you’re going to get.

“We’re right opposite the sea so you can see just what the day is like outside.”

Ms Hemming said the information centre was a showcase for the whole Mornington Peninsula.

Volunteers would need to have at least four hours spare a fortnight, experience in offi ce administration or customer service, and a passion for the peninsula.

“Computer experience would be an advantage. Selection of volunteers is based on written applications and a short interview.”

By Keith PlattWILD dog hunter Leigh Swan believes poison is the only solution to combat-ing foxes on the Mornington Penin-sula.

“With trapping you only get 2.9 per cent; with baiting you get 78.5 per cent,” Mr Swan said.

A Rosebud-based professional ver-min exterminator, Mr Swan is not sur prised by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s refusal to supply cages for resi-dents to trap foxes on Tootgarook fore-shore (“Volunteers ready for fox hunt”, The News, 8/10/13).

Tootgarook resident David Stanton said the shire had rejected his offer to get rid of foxes on the foreshore.

Instead, he has asked the state gov-ernment to buy three large cages “and loan them to me for use in the Tootga-rook area”.

“The situation at this stage is that it’s too hard and so nothing can be done to remove the foxes, other than pri-vate individuals engaging contractors to eradi cate the foxes at their own ex-pense,” Mr Stanton said.

“My neighbours and I are prepared to offer our labour free of charge and that

the cost of the cages and bait used is a small cost under the circumstances.”

Mr Stanton said a shire offi cer had given him a list of commercial feral animal controllers and told him it was “the responsibility of the landowner to control feral animals”.

Leigh Swan said: “I think we have been through this before; the shire is so negative on their fox control.

“I had a meeting with some of their conservation offi cers and they made it quite clear to me to keep my nose out of their business as they admitted they were anti-baiting.”

Mr Swan said he recently baited foxes at Mornington racecourse even though it was an area used to walk dogs.

“Problem easily solved – we just closed the course down for one month with letters and signs, and we got six foxes and, guess what, no dogs died.”

Mr Swan said he thought the shire could temporarily close reserves to poison foxes.

“I have caught lots of foxes in my big cages for residents who have foxes liv-ing under their houses.

“Everywhere I go around the state,

people ask me where I live and the fi rst thing they say is ‘old fox city’.

“That is what [the peninsula] is known for – our foxes.

“I put that down to the negativity of the shire.

“I feel for a lot of people down here with [fox] problems and this is why I work everywhere else.

“People unfortunately think this work is for charity and that’s one thing the shire does not tell people.

“They would die if they found out how much money is wasted on trap-ping.”

DOZENS of short-tailed shearwaters are being found washed up on Mornington Peninsula beaches including on Mothers Beach in Mornington, Mt Martha and Rosebud as well as at Chelsea.

The sorry sight is an annual event as shearwaters, also known as muttonbirds, return to Australia from the northern hemisphere, but the cause of death is still not fully understood.

Wildlife photographer Glenn Ehmke said shearwaters were the most abundant seabird species in Australian waters.

“They breed on Phillip Island and on small islands in Bass Strait and Tasmania as well as on Mud Islands and the South Channel Fort in Port Phillip,” he said.

There were about one million birds on Phillip Island in summer. Babel Island in Bass Strait has 2.8 million birds.

“They migrate at the end of our summer to the seas off the Aleutian Islands near Alaska and return in the southern spring down the coast of California and across the Pacifi c Ocean.”

Mr Ehmke, formerly of Mornington and now a Chelsea resident, said it was not uncommon to fi nd dead or dying shearwaters.

“We think many die of exhaustion, injuries or starvation during a journey of up to 12,000 kilometres, one of the longest migrations in the world.”

He said they were “tough little birds” but lack of food and storms during their fl ight south take a toll.

“Two years ago, thousands of dead shearwaters were found on beaches on the east and southeast coast of Australia.”

Home to die: Dozens of short-tailed shearwaters, or muttonbirds, are being found washed up on Port Phillip beaches after fl ying up to 16,000 kilometres from Alaska on their annual migration. Picture: Yanni

A large majority make it home and are now busy feeding on fi sh and squid.

Mr Ehmke said shearwaters make feeding trips into the Southern Ocean travelling 1500 kilometres and leaving their chicks for up to a week or longer.

A recent problem for shearwaters is small pieces of plastic rubbish fl oating

in the seas. This may be one reason why they die during migration. Back in Australia, they pick up plastic and feed it to their chicks.

The Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service allows about 200,000 chicks to be removed from their burrows and sold by commercial operators each year.

Police huntman over shootingPOLICE are hunting a 29-year-old man believed to have been involved in the shooting of another man linked to the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang at Arthurs Seat late last month.

Armed Crime Taskforce detectives are seeking public assistance to locate William Charles Thomason, pictured right, in relation to the alleged fi rearms incident on 29 September.

Investigators have serious concerns for the welfare of 29-year-old Thomason, who is believed to be involved in the incident, and are appealing to him to contact police.

A man believed to be affi liated with the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang admitted himself to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with a gun shot wound to his upper body around 2.45pm on Sunday 29 September.

The man discharged himself from the hospital a short time later. Police have attempted to speak to the man but said he was not cooperating.

Investigators believe the shooting is linked to an earlier

report of a verbal altercation and gun shot at Arthurs Seat.Thomason is believed to be travelling in a dark blue col-

oured Holden Statesman and was last seen in the Glenroy area several days ago.

He is believed to still be armed and police have warned members of the public not to approach him but to instead call Crime Stoppers if they were aware of his whereabouts.

Anyone with information about the incident or knowl-edge of Thomason’s whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Continued from Page 1About 30 to 40 of around 130 members will form the

new golf club at Rosebud Park public golf course, which is on Crown land managed by a committee on behalf of the state government’s Department of Environment and Primary Industries. An existing meeting room next to the pro shop will be refurbished and converted into clubrooms, hopefully with a liquor licence.

The breakaway group will form the nucleus of what Nick Sayle, Rosebud public’s manager, hopes will become a club with hundreds of members. Membership costs $419,

one of the lowest on the peninsula. Casual golfers pay $35 for 18 holes. Members will pay $8.50 for 18 holes. Membership details: 5986 1813, 5981 2833 (pro shop) or email: [email protected]

“This is the best public golf course in Victoria,” he said.Carrington Park Club’s last hurrah is on Friday night.

Then most members will load their golf clubs into the boot and head for Eagle Ridge.

Rivalry between Rosebud public’s members and Eagle Ridge’s new members will have a certain edge when it comes time to play competition golf.

Tree friends: Joyce and Simon Welsh have restored their 6.5-hectare (16-acre) bush block at the headwaters of Watson Creek.

A NEW Landcare group being formed in the northeast peninsula region aims to enhance the quality of water runoff into Watson Creek, de-scribed as one of the state’s dirtiest waterways.

The creek fl ows from its headwaters in Frank-ston South through Baxter, Somerville and Tyab b and into Yaringa Marine National Park in West-ern Port, which is part of Ramsar-listed wetlands that provide important food and habitat for mi-gratory birds and is home to internationally sig-nifi cant mangrove communities, extensive salt-marsh habi tats as well as seagrass and mudfl at communities.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Landcare facili-tator Jacqui Salter said Landcare was a great way for property owners to meet like-minded people and make a positive contribution to the health of an area.

“A recent bushwalk led by peninsula fauna

ecologist Mal Legg revealed the importance of maintaining and enhancing native vegetation as well as controlling weeds and pests in order to ensure the survival of indigenous animals in the northeast of the Mornington Peninsula, including possums, bats, koalas, frogs, owls, wallabies and migratory birds,” she said.

Joyce and Simon Welsh are keen to join the Watson Creek group, having already “lovingly restored” their bush block at the headwaters of the creek.

“We have undertaken a great deal of weed con-trol, pest control and installed nesting boxes on our property,” Mrs Welsh said.

For details about the peninsula’s many Land-care groups, contact Jacqui Salter by email at [email protected] or call 5950 1279 or 0408 213 079 (Tuesdays and Fridays).

30 YEARS EXPERIENCE


By Chris BrennanIT took the Lord just six days to create the world. Then he got a day off. Bayview Community Church’s treasurer Graham Emmett has been bat-tling for more than nine months just to get the power connected - and he’s yet to see the light. Now he’s starting to lose his faith. And his pa-tience.

“I’ve certainly lost faith in Origin over this. Nine months and we’re still waiting,” Mr Emmett said. “You wouldn’t believe it could take anyone this long – it should be a matter of days to get the electricity connected, not months.”

The church is now months behind schedule and thousands of dollars out of pocket for building works to create a new worship centre in Rosebud.

Origin and local electricity distributor United Energy said the delay had been caused by a series of mishaps that included the wrong address hav-ing been provided and the theft of copper cables connecting the property. Power was now due to be connected within days.

The $4 million project began in 2009 when the Tootgarook and Red Hill Churches of Christ were sold and a new combined Bayview Community Church congregation was established at Rosebud.

The church purchased a disused Telstra build-ing at 248 Jetty Rd and an ABC Learning Cen-tre building next door for a combined price of around $2 million.

The learning centre building was to serve as a community centre and offi ces while the Telstra building was undergoing extensive renovations at a cost of about $2 million to turn it into a place of worship.

The project was scheduled for completion in February of this year but a series of delays,

caused not just by the lack of power, but also fl ooding, thefts and planning snags, have forced the church to put back the anticipated completion date to November.

In the meantime, the former ABC building is being used to hold church services.

However, the single greatest stumbling block remains the unresolved electricity issue, Mr Em-mett said.

“It has been a huge weight on my mind,” he said. “It’s taken hours and hours of my time and dozens of phone calls, letters and emails. And then there’s there fi nancial cost.

“We’ve had to hire a generator so the builder could have access to power, and that’s cost us thousands of dollars. All told, the electricity issue has cost us more than $8000 and put us an extra three months or so behind.

“We’re all very disappointed and we lay the blame fi rmly at the feet of Origin”

However, a spokesman for Origin said paper-work provided by the builder had contained er-rors and that this was the primary cause for the delay.

“Origin assesses new connection applications for completeness and accuracy before sending on to a local electricity distributor for next steps,” the spokesman said.

“This process has been delayed due to incon-sistencies on the incoming paperwork, which have taken some time to resolve on behalf of the customer.

“We’ll continue working closely with the local distributor to clear up this confusion and have this property connected as quickly as possible.”

A United Energy manager said the problem had been exacerbated by the theft of copper cabling

Church locked in power struggle

from the church work site. However, he said that had now been rectifi ed and the paperwork issues resolved.

“We should have the customer connected in the next 24 hours or so,” United Energy corporate af-fairs general manager Jai McDermott said.

“We became aware of a problem with the new connection on 2 October, when the retailer contacted us following rejection of the original request on 30 August. On investigation, we dis-covered that the issue stemmed from incorrect

address data provided to us dating backs to 2008, following an unrelated service visit to the site. Once we identifi ed the issue, we moved to com-plete the connection as quickly as possible.

“Our aim is to provide our customers with safe and reliable access to electricity at all times. Any delays are regrettable, irrespective of the reason.”

After nine months waiting for connection, Mr Emmett said he would believe it when he saw it. But he’s looking forward to fi nally being able to enjoy a well-earned day of rest.

By David HarrisonMORNINGTON Peninsula rate-payers can for the fi rst time see a glimpse of the list of shire-owned and controlled land and buildings.

Councillors last week agreed to release details of the 20 most valuable assets that help make up the $2 billion total listed in the an-nual report.

Civic Reserve in Mornington tops the list at $24 million, fol-lowed by the municipal offi ce in Rosebud at $22.3 million and Sor-rento foreshore at $18.9 million.

The release follows councillors being asked by The News if they believed ratepayers should know the value of properties managed on their behalf by the shire.

Most councillors shied away from expressing their views, say-ing the mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, would answer for them.

No reply was received from the mayor.

Melbourne and Frankston coun-cils recently released lists of their most valuable properties.

Cr Graham Pittock, who moved to have the shire follow their ex-ample, sought to take the matter further. At the most recent council meeting, he asked that the public be given details of the top 50 shire assets, with a longer list to come.

This was opposed by a group led by Cr Anne Shaw, supported by David Garnock, Andrew Dixon – who vacillated between an asset list of 20 and one of 50 – Frank Martin and Antonella Celi.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s top-priced properties

Shire offi cers said they would have no diffi culty re-leasing a further 30 within 30 days.

Cr Pittock was supported by Hugh Fraser, Bev Colomb and the mayor, Lynn Bowden. Ab-sent from the chamber was Cr Tim Rodgers, whose mother had died, and David Gibb.

In a sometimes bizarre de-bate that, in the words of Cr Martin, was going in circles, councillors often appeared not to know what they were vot-ing for while arguing on one side for transparency and the public’s right to know, and on

the other berating the fact that the debate had been initiated by “a reporter”.

Cr Pittock gave examples of blocks of land that had “disap-peared” off the shire register, and asked his colleagues if they knew that properties such as the Safety Beach foreshore were council owned.

Civic Reserve, like many of the assets named, is unlikely to be put on the market and is in a real sense more a li-ability than an asset as it must be maintained and kept up to date.

By Mike HastTHE Mornington Peninsula’s three sitting state Liberal MPs will see little change in their mar-gins following the release last Thursday of new electoral boundaries.

The boundaries will be used at the state elec-tion in November next year.

The trios’ former Liberal Party colleague Geoff Shaw has not been so lucky in his seat of Frankston, with his margin being slashed from 2.1 per cent to 0.4 per cent with the addition of voters from Frankston North, formerly in the Cranbourne electorate, which is held by Labor’s Jude Perera.

Mr Perera’s electorate shrinks substantially, losing Carrum Downs and Sandhurst to Carrum (Donna Bauer, Liberal) and Langwarrin to Hast-ings. His margin drops from 1.8 to 1.1 per cent.

Nepean MP (and Education Minister) Martin Dixon’s margin drops from 14.3 to 13.7 per cent in his southern peninsula electorate. He gains Balnarring and Somers voters.

Mornington MP David Morris’s margin goes up – from 16 to 16.2 per cent – after gaining Moorooduc voters from Hastings electorate.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess’s margin drops from 10.8 to 9.6 per cent after “losing” voters from Balnarring, Somers, Moorooduc and Lang-warrin.

The margin estimates have been calculated by the ABC’s psephologist Antony Green and there is an error margin of about 0.5 per cent.

In Victoria’s lower house of 88 electorates (seats), 73 retain their old name, 15 names have been deleted and 15 have new names.

Four electorates have been abolished.Based on 2010 election results, the Liberals

could gain four seats, taking one from their Coa-

Peninsula MPs ‘safe’ Peninsula MPs ‘safe’ in new boundariesin new boundaries

lition partners the National Party and three from the ALP.

More than one million voters will change elec-torates.

It is the fi rst redistribution since 2001 and has been made due to population changes.

Each of the 88 seats are designed to represent about 41,000 voters with voting laws requiring electorates to be within plus or minus 10 per cent of that fi gure.

More on the redistribution including maps can be found at the Electoral Boundaries Commis-sion website, www.ebc.vic.gov.au

THE Port of Hastings Development Authority is establishing three community groups to tap into the “extensive experience and expertise” of peo-ple in the Western Port area.

“We know there are diverse views in the com-munity about container expansion. That is why establishing this [PORTicipate] network early in the process is so important,” the authority’s CEO Mike Lean said.

“We want to ensure community groups, envi-ronmental organisations, local businesses and other key stakeholders have up-to-date informa-tion and the opportunity to contribute to the plan-ning and progress of this critical infrastructure project.”

PORTicipate, a “stakeholder engagement net-work”, will comprise three groups – community, environment and business.

“It will be one of a number of initiatives to en-courage community involvement in the container expansion project over the next three to four years, as planning continues and detailed scien-tifi c studies begin,” Mr Lean said.

The authority is inviting expressions of inter-est from individuals and organisations “with a strong interest in the port’s expansion and spe-cifi c knowledge relating to the community, envi-ronment and business” to join PORTicipate.

“There is extensive experience and expertise in the Western Port community. Harnessing this expertise and ensuring community input in the container expansion project is critical to achiev-ing the best outcomes for the region.”

The move to involve the public in port planning follows consultants being hired for geotechnical and geophysical surveys as well as Esso spending $150 million on its existing fractionation plant.

Esso’s money will pay for maintenance and rebuilding, including upgrading two of three gas fractionation “trains” that produce ethane, pro-pane and butane as well as installing a system to remove mercury from water in the oil and gas it gets from Bass Strait.

Details about joining one of the stakeholder groups are at www.portof hastings.com Expres-sions of interest close on Sunday 3 November.

ESSO Australia will replace its crude oil and gas pipe between Longford and Long Island Point near Hastings.

The company is seeking regulatory approval and hopes to start construction later this year.

The 350mm diameter pipe will take 6-9 months to build.

The new pipe will be built next to the one built in 1969, which was partially replaced in 1980 and is about 700mm.

Esso said the old pipe would be cleaned and left in place in accordance with its licence.

An Esso spokesman said the replacement pipe-

line “represents another signifi cant investment in the continuation of our Gippsland operations, which have provided crude oil, condensate, LPG and natural gas to the Australian market since 1969”.

Longford is southeast of Sale in Gippsland and is Esso’s onshore plant that receives crude oil and gas from Bass Strait.

At its plant near Hastings, Esso extracts ethane, propane and butane from natural gas. It also stores crude oil before it is sent to refi neries in Australia and overseas.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s no-charge green waste weekend is 26-27 October at the shire’s three waste disposal centres in Tyabb, Mornington and Rye.

It is the second for the year and the shire is promoting it as a chance to clean up properties well before the fi re season starts.

The service is for shire residents only, with green waste accepted from domestic vehicles and trailers only.

Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber.

The green waste will be treated and mulched, reducing waste sent to landfi ll.

No commercial vehicles or green waste from commercial operations will be accepted.

Proof of residency is required, either

a driver’s licence or rates notice.Transfer stations are in McKirdys Rd, Tyabb;

Watt Rd, Mornington; and Truemans Rd, Rye. They are open 8am-5pm both days.

Mornington can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip.

The shire said that due to the popularity of the service, delays might occur at disposal centres, particularly at the beginning and end of each day.

Residents living in urban areas can contact the shire to receive a kerbside green waste bin. There is a cost for this service.

For information about the green waste weekend or opt-in green bin, call customer service on 1300 850 60 or 5950 1000.

THE company founded by veteran Melbourne caterer Peter Rowland has opened a cafe at Martha Cove.

Peter Rowland Catering has renovated a former sales offi ce/cafe at the marina and named it Martha Cove Cafe and Store.

Other company eateries have included The Tea Room, Persimmon, and Gallery Kitchen at the National Gallery in Melbourne; Museum Cafe at Melbourne Museum; Crossbar Cafe at Federation Square, and The Hill Winery Cafe in Geelong.

Peter Rowland is a favoured caterer of Australia’s rich and famous after a 50-year career that started with his fi rst job for the Australian Wool Corporation.

He learnt his trade from Hermann Schneider of Two Faces fame, the fi ne dining venue opened in 1960 after the Swiss chef stayed in Melbourne following the 1956 Olympics.

The Safety Beach venue is fully licensed and has indoor and outdoor seating for 50.

It has been described as “a major milestone for the rejuvenated luxury development”.

In September it was announced that business advisory companies KordaMentha and PPB Advisory had joined forces with Melbourne builder Three Pillars to complete construction of homes at Martha Cove.

The project stalled in 2009 when the main developer, Queensland-based CP1 Ltd, went into receivership.

The new consortium is offering townhouses and homes of up to fi ve bedrooms, some with direct access to boat berths and the marina boardwalk.

Peter Rowland Catering chief executive John Isherwood said the cafe offered great food, wine and coffee “in a relaxed and friendly setting”.

The menu would make the most “of the best seasonal Mornington Peninsula produce” and sell peninsula wine as well as coffee from Little Rebel Roasters, made by barista Ryan Pitcher.

The cafe is on the corner of Anchorage Ave and Harbourside Esplanade. It is open 7.30am-3.30pm Thursday-Monday and seven days in summer. Details: 0439 240 170.

By Chris BrennanA GROUP of Balcombe Grammar School students is ready to take up the fi ght against graffi ti after completing a training program.

They identifi ed strategies to reduce the cost and social impact of illegal “street art”.

Six students took part in the Mind-shop Excellence Program and were asked to provide recommendations on how to combat graffi ti on the Morn-ington Peninsula.

The fi ve-day program, held earlier this month, was co-hosted by asset maintenance company Transfi eld Ser-vices and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The students assessed community attitudes toward graffi ti and its root causes, conducting interviews with peninsula schools, police and resi-dents.

They came up with measures and suggestions for the most environmen-tally sensitive and cost-effi cient means of removing graffi ti and discouraging further attacks.

Recommendations included reduc-ing the visibility of graffi ti by plant-ing tree and shrub barriers at popular tagging locations, providing school-based education programs, and utilis-ing a new, cost-effective graffi ti re-moval product that is environmentally safe and quick and easy to use.

Student Joel Blake said the group had gained invaluable experience dur-ing the process.

“The Mindshop program was a fan-tastic opportunity for us to break away from the school environment and gain some real-life work experience in a local industry,” he said. “It’s great

Students battle graffiti scourge

to know the suggestions we came up might have a positive impact on our community.”

Transfi eld, which provides graffi ti-removal services and has a 15-year re-lationship with the shire, is reviewing the recommendations.

“The task challenged the students to think outside the box as well as work in a team effi ciently and productively,” Transfi eld’s shire maintenance con-

tract manager Karen Miller said. “It is great to get the students to

come up with ideas that we sometimes don’t think of ourselves, which we can then implement in our business.”

The shire’s maintenance services acting team leader Graham Riley con-gratulated the students on their “great work”.

He said their ideas would be investi-gated by the council.

He said the project was valuable as it “provided an opportunity for gathering the perspectives of young people on the issue of graffi ti and its removal”.

The shire has a range of anti-graffi ti programs and provides free graffi ti re-moval kits and discount vouchers to residents to assist in removing graffi ti attacks on private property.

Instances of graffi ti can be reported to the shire on 1300 850 600.

Write path: Balcombe Grammar School students are helping combat graffi ti on the peninsula.

Lifestyle optionsLifestyle optionsTHE Peninsula Health and Wellbeing Expo is on this weekend, with more than 60 exhibitors offering advice and guidance on a wide range of products and services to help visitors discover more fulfi lling and healthy lifestyles.

Now in its third year, the free event aims to help people start new habits for improved mental, physical and spiritual health.

The expo at Mornington Racecourse on Sunday 27 October will bring together specialists in a range of fi elds including health, wellbeing, nutrition and sustainable living.

They will offer advice on subjects such as landscape gardening, managing power bills, diet conundrums and family health challenges.

The event’s organiser, naturopath Jo Schutt, said more than 2000 people attended last year.

“So often we have to head to Melbourne for an event like this,” she said. “Offering it under one roof on the peninsula allows residents easy access to insights into caring for themselves through fi tness and lifestyle services, developmental activities and family advice as well as the latest on sustainable practices, fair trade and organic products.

Ms Schutt said the one-day event would provide a touch, tell, taste, and try experience as well as help visitors discover the depth and range of health and wellbeing services on the peninsula.

The expo is on from 10am-4pm on Sunday 27 October at Mornington Racecourse, Racecourse Rd. Entry is free. Details: Visit www.phwe.com.au or www.facebook.com/PeninsulaHealthWellbeingExpo

By Chris BrennanBESTSELLING children’s author Julie Davey of McCrae has created a mobile phone application that is being hailed by parents and educators as a “breakthrough tool” in helping guide young peo-ple through early life challenges.

The FabFirst5 app is an interactive program that provides children with step-by-step coach-ing on how to “shift their focus from problems to possibilities, and frame their day more posi-tively,” Ms Davey said.

Released last week, the app teaches children aged 5-12 “emotional reframing techniques” and encourages them to adopt a more positive outlook and build betting coping mechanisms.

Ms Davey is well known on the peninsula for her numerous schools visits and workshops as well as attending Mornington and Red Hill mar-kets to promote her acclaimed children’s psy-chology book A for Attitude, which has sold more than 40,000 copies.

She’s is a member of Rosebud-Rye Rotary Club’s youth committee and has received backing from the organisation for her “positive attitude” education crusade.

Ms Davey said the app would enable her to spread her work to a wider audience, helping teach children, teachers and parents around the world the importance of resolving anxiety and building resilience in young people.

She said the app’s title referred to the premise that “everyone can achieve positive possibilities from a positive outlook in the fi rst fi ve minutes of their day”.

“For children to thrive, it helps if they can re-lease worries, giving them the head space to con-sider other possibilities and solutions,” she said.

“I believe this app helps kids and parents be-come more responsible, resilient and conscious of opportunities available to them.

“Many kids feel more comfortable communi-cating through the screen and the app is an ideal tool to enhance the teaching and counselling of

experienced staff and parents as they reach out to kids and work through issues together.”

She said one of the app’s most popular features was the “PossibiliTree”, a visual tool that encour-ages users to “turn worries into wishes and prob-lems into PossibiliTrees”.

“By inviting the young user to record their personal challenges onto leaves of the Possilbili-Tree, the program demonstrates examples of how to manage problems and work through steps to consider more positive outcomes.”

Ms Davey’s skill at simplifying adult concepts and using colourful illustrations and graphics to deliver simple, easy-to-follow positive thinking techniques for young minds has seen her popular-ity grow across the world.

She started working life as a nurse, witnessing the power of positive attitude and how it affected both physical and mental health. She saw the need to teach young people techniques to build self-worth.

This led to her writing and illustrating A for At-titude, which was self-published in 1998 and is distributed in 14 countries.

She still fi nds time to engage with young people in her own area and recently visited Boneo, Rose-bud, Rye and Tootgarook primary schools.

Rosebud primary teacher Heidi Kerr has been trialling the FabFirst5 app in her classroom for the past few weeks.

She said the program had already had a positive impact on pupils.

“The program is very good for my students. We have been putting our worries away in the morn-ing by posting them on our PossibiliTree,” she said.

“The kids have responded in a very positive way and remind me when we haven’t ‘done our tree’ in the morning.

“I have some pupils who come from very sad family lives and they are fi nding the tree a good way to focus on the positives in their lives and have a good day at school.”

By Mike HastTHE founder of Cootes Transport says he is “devastated” by the furore sur-rounding his former company.

Ian Cootes, 71, started with one fuel tanker in Frankston in 1965 and built up the business to be one of Australia’s leading tanker fi rms with about 800 employees before selling out 13 years ago to ION Ltd and resigning from its board 10 years ago.

“First and foremost, my condolenc-es go to the families of the two people killed in Sydney,” he told The News from his home in an inner Melbourne bayside suburb.

He was also sad for employees of the company “who have worked dili-gently for many years”.

Mr Cootes would not be drawn into criticising the company that now owns Cootes, the Queensland-based McAleese Group, which bought it from CHAMP Private Equity about 18 months ago.

Dozens of Cootes-branded trucks have been taken off the road after in-spections in Victoria and NSW found defects in much of the fl eet.

The inspections came after a Cootes tanker exploded in a northern Sydney suburb on 1 October, killing two peo-ple and injuring fi ve.

Cootes tankers being put off the road saw many service stations run out of unleaded petrol, diesel and gas when people panicked and bought extra sup-plies. Most trucks had been fi xed and returned to work last week.

The fuel “drought” raised ques tions about the security of supplies, espe-cially in big cities like Melbourne,

Founder ‘devastated’ by fuel trucks furoreFounder ‘devastated’ by fuel trucks furore

Devastated: Cootes Transport founder Ian Cootes, who sold his former Seaford-based fuel and gas trucking company in 2000.

Sydney and Adelaide as many servos typically have just three days’ supply.

The Ian Cootes story is a classic one of building up a company by hard work, safety and engineering inno-vations, new technology, looking after employees, and being in the right place at the right time.

In 1965, Mr Cootes would drive

his tanker to collect fuel in Port Mel-bourne (and later from a Dandenong depot supplied by BP’s refi nery at Crib Point) and deliver it to about 24 ser-vos between Seaford and Sorrento as well as on the Western Port side of the Morn ington Peninsula.

His truck carried the BP colours but he owned it. He’d do three loads a day

and later employed a night driver.In 1974 Mr Cootes won a contract

to deliver heating oil for BP so bought more road tankers and built a depot in McCulloch Ave, Seaford, later moving to another site nearby.

Ian Cootes was known as a stickler for keeping his fl eet well maintained.

A Frankston man told The News he and his father were contracted to lay bathroom-type tiles in a below-ground service bay where mechanics worked on the underside of Cootes vehicles. “We’d never seen anything like it; the place was as clean as a Formula 1 pit area.”

When Cootes was sold to ION in late 2000 for cash and shares, it had 106 LPG tankers, 250 prime movers and 160 fuel trailers as well as trailers for carting chemicals and bitumen.

Cootes had 70 per cent of the fuel tanker market and an enviable re cord of 17.5 per cent compound revenue growth for the previous decade.

Mr Cootes joined ION’s board, stay-ing for three years before retiring in October 2004 and selling shares that had been part of the sale.

In April 2002 it was reported under the headline “Tanker driver cashes in $5.4m worth of ION” that Mr Cootes had decided it was time to take a few profi ts from his shares.

It proved to be a prescient move.But the ION shares he retained lost

value when the company had techni-cal problems building its alloy casting business.

This was the beginning of the end as ION went into administration in 2004, another victim of the decline of Aus-tralian manufacturing.

The fi rm also had a vehicle trans-mission plant in Albury and a plant in Auckland making wheels for Ford.

Mr Cootes said the company had a 50-year partnership with BP and a 35-year partnership with Shell and the gas industry.

In 2003, Mr Cootes was inducted into the “Shell Rimula Wall of Fame”. He was praised for introducing elec-tronic delivery information; estab-lishing an LPG terminal, a propylene plant, and a jet and aviation refuelling facilities at Melbourne Airport.

“Ian has developed and introduced many world-class initiatives to the transport of dangerous goods, liquids and gases,” the citation stated.

“Tanker construction developments have been designed and built in-house within the engineering division.

“Ian has created employment con-di tions that have attracted a very loyal team of drivers, workshop and opera-tions staff.

“The top 60 longest-serving emplo-yees have more than 1000 years of ser-vice with Cootes.”

Mr Cootes has been a member of the Australian Liquefi ed Petroleum Gas Association, the Australian Road Re-search Board, and the National Bulk Tanker Association. He was chairman of The Alfred hospital’s foundation for six years and is now deputy chairman. He supports many charities including the Variety Club.

A former Cootes driver posted a com-ment on a Melbourne radio sta tion’s website during the furore: “I bet these trucks would never [have] had these faults if Ian still had control of the com-pany.”

RYE and MT. ELIZA

Expert help for sore feet and legsFOOT + Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s most experienced and successful podiatry prac-tices dedicated to assisting pain and injury, has opened a new clinic in Rye.

So if you suffer from heel pain, arch pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, ankle concerns, arthritis, shin pain, bunions, foot fractures, inju-ries, child/adolescent growing pains, you can be assured expert help is just around the corner.

The clinics have successfully assisted tens of thousands of people of all ages and lifestyles to end foot and leg pain, heal injuries and address degenerative issues.

From children to athletes and seniors (their oldest patient was 112 years young), the clinics guarantee a personalised approach and evidence based treatment plans aimed at ending your foot and leg pain once and for all.Renowned for their successful patient outcomes, Foot + Leg Pain Clinics services are sought from far and wide. They’ve been the chosen podiatrists for some of the world’s best athletes, individuals who have set world records and won Olympic gold medals as well as thousands just like you!

They’ve helped people who have suffered for years or been told that nothing can be done for them and helped others avoid medications and surgery even when they’ve previously been

advised it’s their only option.Experienced sports podiatrist, Dr David

Kavanagh, who heads the new Rye clinic says: “Health and healing is not a one-size-fi ts-all approach. We achieve consistent, successful and long-term outcomes for patients because we take an individual approach considering patients’ nutritional status and requirements, lifestyle factors and overall health and injury concerns.

“We spend time fi nding and addressing the cause of concerns and not just treating the symptoms. We take a holistic approach, which is so important because one issue can set off a chain reaction in the body, and keep up-to-date with the very latest medical research and treat-ments,” Dr Kavanagh said.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have been success-fully assisting people on the peninsula for over seven years at their Mt Eliza clinic but are ex-cited to be able to assist even more people with the opening of their additional clinic in Rye.

For expert advice or treatment at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Rye or Mt Eliza call 1300 328 300.

The clinics are currently offering new patients $50 OFF their initial consultations. Just mention this article when booking.


Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 October 1913.WORD has been received locally that the Lands department intends to hold an auction shortly of several sections of the Government township at Crib Point. This, it is thought, will be the future township of the Flinders naval base. When the Commonwealth au-thorities were reserving land for naval purposes the township was withdrawn from settlement in case it also should be required, but some months ago the naval authorities notifi ed the Lands department that this land would not be required for naval purposes. It was resurveyed, and about fi fty blocks are to be offered for sale in response to a request from the Crib Point Progress Association that it should he thrown open for settlement. Much satisfac-tion is expressed locally at the news, as it will remove doubts as to further resumptions on the eastern side of the railway line, and will enable business people and others to obtain land in closer proximity to the railway station, which the town site adjoins.

***Mostly all fi shermen with motor boats will be up at Henley this week.

***DURING the recent heavy storms the boat landing and some of the piles at Dromana were washed away, while at Sorrento the sea encroached behind the sheet piling and washed away the piling. The Public Works Department has been notifi ed, and asked to repair the damage immediately.

***THE Sunday train to Mornington

commences tomorrow week. ***

The Mornington and Somerville punt-ers had a good day at Caulfi eld on Sat-urday.

***MR F. O. Chamberlin, of Frankston, is at present spending a holiday in Tas-mania.

***A FINE schnapper, weighing 12 lbs., was caught by Mr T. Hutchins on Sat-urday last at Mornington. This was the fi rst for this season.

***THE picnic season at Frankston com-menced on Friday, when several hun-dred students of the Continuation School arrived by special train. With the advent of the warm weather other picnics are being arranged.

***THE Mornington lady tennis players, who were to have played Frankston at Frankston on Wednesday, did not undertake the trip, owing to the wet weather. The match is being arranged for a future date.

***THE hon. sec. of the Frankston Sports Club acknowledges the following do-nations:- Messrs A. E. Bates and H. Masterton, £1 is each; Messrs C. V. G. Williams, G. W.Wells. D. McDonald, and E. Worrall, 10s 6d each.

***ALL business places will be closed at Mornington on Wednesday, 12th November, in connection with the school children’s trip to the Zoologi-cal Gardens. The Brass Band will play selections in Frankston (weather permitting) on Sunday afternoon, 2nd November, when a collection will be

taken up in aid of the hospitals. ***

MESSRS Brody and Mason held a most successful sale of furniture and miscellaneous goods at their mart, Frankston, on Wednesday last, when their auctioneer (Mr W. P. Mason) disposed of 355 lots in the remarkably

good time of 815 minutes. ***

MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son advertise in this issue a great subdivi-sional auction sale of Tyabb Park Es-

tate on Monday, 3rd November, when 49 choice blocks, from 1 to 10 acres each, will be offered. The sale will be conducted on the estate.

***“I CANNOT fi nd one fact in the evi-dence in mitigation of the sentence,” remarked Mr Justice Hodges, impos-ing a sentence of 18 months’ impris-onment on Richard Charles Gray, 34 years of age, in the Criminal Court on Monday. For having deserted his children, Gray was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment, and on a charge of bigamy to twelve months’ imprisonment, the sentences to be cu-mulative. “Even then,” said Mr Justice Hodges, “it is a light sentence.” Mr F. Tucke, who appeared on Gray’s be-half, had asked for leniency.

***THE committee of the Frankston Brass Band desire to thank the pro-moters and public for their efforts in connection with the bazaar held recently, in aid of their funds, which have been augmented to the extent of £87, a fact that shows how enthusiastic the response has been on behalf of the band. The following donations have also been received:- Mrs M. R. Deane, £1 Is; Mr C. Gray, £1 1s; Mr J. Grice, £1; Mr R. T. Picking, 10s 6d; Mr G. W Wells, 10s; Mr D. McDonald, 5s; Mr Fogarty, 2s 6d The band gave a con-cert on the 11th inst. in Bay Street, at which four new instruments, held by the band on approbation, were heard to advantage, and no doubt added to the general improvement of the band, which was favourably commented on by a great number of the supporters of the band.

***

AN accident which luckily terminated only in a jinker being smashed, oc-curred here last Saturday to Mr Ashton Woolley, senr. While out driving the horse shied, throwing the driver out, and upsetting and smashing the jinker. We are pleased to say Mr Wooley es-caped without any injury.

***QUITE a sensation has been caused here through a number of the Naval Base employees being dismissed. Rumour had it that many more were about to be relieved of their duties, but this has so far proved to be wrong. As a great number of the men are married, and have bought and made homes for themselves, their dismissal would be very keenly felt.

***THE Rev C. H. Eva, clergyman of the Church of England, paid a visit to the local Sunday School last Sunday. He expressed himself well pleased with the progress made by the scholars. The Progress Association which has been formed here is likely to prove of great value. The fi rst general meeting was held in the load hall, where the meet-ings and entertainments are to be held.

***THE boisterous weather of last week played great havoc with the fruit trees round here, the whole tree, in some cases, being completely stripped of its blossoms.

***A STRANGE fi sh of the fl ying species was caught at Stony Point this week. Its measurements were about 6 inches long, with the head and wings like an owl, and body of a scaleless fi sh.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughI’VE always had an uneasy relation-ship with technology. Having seen the fi lm Electric Dreams at an impression-able age, I accept that computers have a sizeable dark side and are capable of evil. Giorgio Moroder’s ubiquitous soundtrack to the fi lm served only to reinforce the point. As we continue to outsource more and more of our eve-ryday tasks, surely the day cannot be too far away when all the laptops and smart phones of the world rise up in a brutal takeover. Indeed, I fear that preparations are well advanced. I can only hope it’s not too late.

When I was a kid, there was only one electronic gadget that was worth getting excited about – the television. Then along came video recorders and it was as though the future had sud-denly arrived. These devices were about the size of a Ford Festiva; they could play videotapes and, even more excitingly, allowed you to record tel-evision programs. It was empowering. Mere mortals could watch one televi-sion program whilst taping another for future use. I say this knowing that it probably sounds about as interesting as porridge to generation Y but, once upon a time, this technology repre-sented the cutting edge.

However, possessing the power to record a television show was one thing. Figuring out how to program the device so that it began recording automatically was a different matter entirely. My father never mastered the art of programming a VCR, preferring instead to try and persuade it, fi rst by

way of a staring competition and, ul-timately, through threats of violence. Today, video recorders gather dust in millions of attics and cupboards, re-tained only in the unlikely emergency whereby someone desperately needs to watch a videotape.

It was an age of wonder – an era in which schools kept their computers

in labs. Classes involving a computer appeared in the schedule as ‘com-puter science’. It was like learning a different language. I paid little atten-tion, certain that these clunky devices – whose sole purpose seemed to be to give nerds something to talk about other than Dungeons & Dragons – would never be of much relevance to me. I am prepared to now concede that

I might have been wrong. At university, a handful of students

brought laptops to class. I thought they had more money than sense. I preferred a pen and paper, despite the fact that my handwriting was (and re-mains) almost entirely illegible. There was no doubt in my mind that in the battle between typewriter and lap-top which would ultimately prevail. I typed out my essays using corrective tape to fi x up any errors. It was a solid and reliable machine that served me well. But, for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you what became of it. Chances are, I kept that typewriter long after it was sensible to do so.

Now computers are everywhere and we are at their mercy. Seemingly nothing in life comes without some spurious website that’s trying to fl og something or other, a point I make frequently at www.stuartmccullough.com. Many of these web pages seek to force a relationship, demanding that you set up an account. Such accounts, of course, require a password. By now, I have more passwords than I have any hope of remembering, meaning that the Internet at large refuses to believe that I am who I say I am. It’s as though it owns more of my identity than I do.

It’s accepted that animals can sense fear. I’ve no doubt that computers are much the same. My laptop knows that I don’t really trust it and, for that reason, has decided to mess with my mind. Last week, the email system be-gan demanding that I supply it with a password. This is despite my not hav-ing set a password. It’s like it’s daring

me to guess the number in its head. Things only got worse from there.

Anyone who has ever typed any-thing into a computer knows the pain that comes from having the ‘spelling’ tuned to ‘US’ rather than ‘Australia’. This goes far beyond issues of dialect. I can accept that the term ‘schmozzle’ may not be in common usage through-out the English speaking world. But I deeply resent being told that I am mis-spelling ‘colour’ and ‘favour’. But for all the differences they are, at least, the same language. Then, last Tuesday, I was in the middle of writing an article when I decided to use the Thesaurus. As I clicked the button, I found that it had been set to ‘French’. Sacre bleu! Often, it’s easy to select the language but, try as I might, I couldn’t see any option for switching to English – ei-ther US or Australian. Having packed up my paper Thesaurus some time ago, I had little option but to go with French, even though I would have pre-ferred Esperanto. It was, I fear, an act of retaliation. This means war.

Every time I log on, I await the next salvo as my computer continues its campaign of terror. Whether it will demand I supply it with a password that doesn’t exist or direct me to a language other than my own is any-one’s guess. Perhaps it’s time to fi ght back. From now on, it’s paper and pen only. Granted, that will make it harder to update the website, but so be it. I might even dig out the old VCR and watch my copy of Electric Dreams, just for old time’s [email protected]

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyLANGWARRIN proved that it has what it takes to compete with the best in MPCA Provincial cricket after it knocked over reigning premier Pen-insula Old Boys on Saturday.

Chasing 231 for victory, Langwar-rin passed the total with just four wickets down. It fi nished at 4/261 with 15 overs to play.

Opener Taylor Smith and all-round-er Andy Johnson scored 100 each for the Kangas.

Smith batted intelligently and pa-tiently for his 100, which included 10 fours.

Johnson blasted 12 fours and two sixes on his way to 105.

At one stage, the Kangas were in some trouble at 3/22 after Justin Parkes caused some early damage. Parkes fi nished with 3/36.

Baxter left arm seamer Adrian Mack proved the old dog still had plenty of tricks as he tore through the Long Island batting line-up on Satur-day.

Defending a score of 165, Baxter bowled out the Islanders for 109 in the 62nd over.

Mack was at his best, bowling 15 overs and picking-up 4/25.

Dale Irving and Marc Uccello also joined the party, snaring two wickets each.

Only four Long Island batsmen made it into double fi gures.

Justin Bridgeman top scored with

33, Stephen Hocking scored 20, Paul Hartle 16 and Greg Lamb 12. Scott Phillips had his timber rattled for a duck off the bowling of Mack.

Mt Eliza successfully defended its 263 against Rye.

The Demons lost wickets regularly throughout the innings, limping to 159 in 65.3 overs.

Skipper Darren Groves top scored for Rye with 43.

Tom Baron was absolutely sensa-tional for the Mounties with the ball, bowling 29.3 overs and fi nishing with the astonishing fi gures of 8/40. He bowled 15 maidens.

Bobby Wilson guided Moorooduc to a fantastic victory against Heath-erhill, blasting 126 to help his side to 7/281.

Chasing Heatherhill’s 260 for vic-tory, the Ducs were in some early trouble, losing both openers with the score on nine.

However, the skipper came to the rescue with a well crafted ton, while he received great support from the likes of Ben Williams (37), Mark Cor-deux (35) and David Greensmith (31).

Matty Meagher completed a won-derful game personally after adding 3/65 to his score of 41 in week one of the match.

Crib Point fell 70 runs short of beating Mornington, bowled out for 190 in 66.2 overs.

The Magpies lost their fi rst four wickets for just 42 runs, before Brad Davidson (34) and Ricky Thompson (80no) offered some resistance.

Thompson was looking the goods for a ton but ran out of batting part-ners and was left stranded 20 runs short.

Matty Harper was the pick of the Doggies bowlers with 6/34 from 11.2 overs.

In the tightest match of the round, Mt Martha went within eight runs of beating Sorrento.

After being 7/94 at one stage, chas-ing Sorrento’s 232, the Reds lower order dug in and almost got them over the line.

Ben Schreuder fi nished with 71 before being the last man out as he scrambled for a run.

Tim Bateman was also good with 23 and number 11 batsman, Curtis Stone, fi nished not out on 19.

Kangas make a statement in win over LangyKangas make a statement in win over Langy

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT Gully PEARCEDALE skipper Chris Dew scored 104 to help his side to victory against Carrum Downs on Saturday in Sub District cricket.

Dew shared a 148-run Pearcedale partnership with Shayne Gillings, who batted at four and made 67, helping their side to 286, a win of just 10 runs after the Cougars made 276 last week.

At one stage, the Panthers were 8/247, still 19 runs short of victory.

However, Mitch Andrew (34) and Travis Unthank (11) made sure they got their side over the line.

Chamara Perera was outstanding with the ball for the Cougars with 4/95, while Josh Harkness helped him-self to 3/63 from 17 overs.

Tootgarook completed the expected and easily defeated Dromana.

Chasing just 127 in the fi rst innings, the Tooters raced to 191 in 44 overs. Klint James top scored with 74 while David Timmer snared 5/30 and Zac Clan 3/34 for the Hoppers.

Tootgarook then bowled Dromana out a second time for just 153. An-drew Thompson top scored with 37 and Matt Whelan was the chief wicket taker for the Tooters with 3/25.

Tootgarook then needed 18 overs to score the 100 runs needed to complete the outright win. Whelan scored 39

and Gary Richardson 36.Balnarring recovered from being

5/20 to beat Rosebud.Balnarring was in all sorts of trou-

ble early in the match, before the tale wagged. They recovered to be all out for 201.

Jacob Cook made 60 batting at 10, Mitch Kleinig scored 27 batting at nine, Andrew Dowey scored 25 and batting at 11, Mitchell Skvor made 20.

Jason Tucker top scored for the Stonecats with 45, while Mathew Lane scored 26 before being run out.

Glen Collett picked-up 3/42 and Nick Wood helped himself to 3/13.

Rienzie Wijeratne claimed 4/25 and Jack Raeside took 3/15 for the Yab-bies.

In the second innings, Skye fi nished on 6/110. Neil Earnshaw top scored with 28, while Sam Holland-Burch was the pick of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 3/33.

Wyatt smashes another tonWyatt smashes another tonDISTRICTBy IT Gully MAIN RIDGE all-rounder Ga-reth Wyatt once again proved why is one of the best players ever to represent the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association after he smacked 156 to guide his side to victory against Sea-ford Tigers.

Chasing 265 for victory, Main Ridge appeared to be in a spot of bother at 3/69.

However, keeper-batsman Ed Aarons and Wyatt joined one an-other at the crease and set about steering the Ridge ship to vic-tory.

Aarons was fi nally dismissed for 79 off the bowling of Corey Hand, while Wyatt went on to reach triple fi gures.

James Abbott then played a cameo role at the end, scoring 68.

Main Ridge fi nished their in-nings at 9/366, a commanding 100-run victory.

Ash Mills snared four wick-ets for the Tigers, including the prized wicket of Wyatt.

Pines made tough work of get-ting the 135 runs needed to beat Flinders.

The Piners were 3/30 at one stage early in their innings, be-fore Harley Peace-Stirling and Jeremy Weare got the side going again.

Peace-Stirling scored 41 and Weare 35, while Ricky Anstill ensured victory with 25 runs, batting at nine.

Dwayne Field bowled 28 overs and fi nished with 3/61, while Max Royal bowled 23 overs and fi nished with the tidy fi gures of 3/25, including 13 maidens.

Hastings was always going to struggle to get the 329 runs needed to beat Somerville but had a reasonable crack, fi nishing 100 runs short.

Ben King top scored for the Blues with 93, before being run out.

Jake Hewitt also had a rea-sonable amount of time at the crease, scoring 35.

Russell Wilkes was the best of the Eagles bowlers with 5/63 off 24 overs, while Daniel Kelly and Justin Allsop picked up two wickets each.

Boneo did just enough to get the job done against Seaford.

Resuming at 5/86, Cameron

Ump and stumps: Action from the Baden Powell vs Ballam Park match. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Williams (17) and Leigh Janssen (18) made sure Boneo got over the line.

Chasing 117 for the win, Bo-neo snuck to 9/135 in 59 overs.

Ryan McQueen was the best of the Seaford bowlers, snaring 3/36.

Delacombe Park made very light work of Carrum, winning by almost 100 runs.

Defending 218, the Parkers rolled the Lions for just 127.

Varun Singh was outstanding with the ball, picking-up 4/23 off 12 overs, while Ben Brittain was at his lightening best, taking 3/11 of 11 overs.

Baden Powell went for the outright victory against Ballam Park but fell short.

The Braves had to settle for the 12 points after scoring 9/164 in reply to the Knights’ 72.

In their second dig, Ballam Park fi nished at 4/154.

Jarryd Ward and Matt O’Malley each snared two wick-ets for the Knights.
