THERE was bedlam in Chelsea yes-terday afternoon when a plane crashed into a house in Camp St, killing the pi-lot, aged in his 70s, on impact.

Eyewitnesses told The News they had seen the light plane “flying errati-cally” before it crashed into the resi-dential street at about 1.30pm.

Real estate agent Greg Smith of As-

set Property was driving west along Chelsea road heading towards Chelsea shops when he noticed the plane in trouble.

“I saw it do a swirl and twist then dive straight down and heard a mas-sive roar as it crashed,” Mr Smith said.

Chelsea SES volunteer Phil Wall was at home with his wife at about 1.30pm when he heard a light plane doing what he thought were acrobatic manoeuvres over the bay.

“Every now and then we hear planes doing that and it was nothing out of the ordinary – but then the high engine-revving noise just stopped and we heard a loud bang.”

Running outside he witnessed a scene of devastation after the small air-craft crashed into the side of a two sto-rey townhouse in a laneway near The Strand and Camp Street - just metres from a children’s playground.

Mr Wall set off for the crash site to

join SES crews on the scene to help.Black smoke was erupting from the

plane and building rubble was strewn for 300 metres.

Many people running to the site were forced back by the heat and smoke. Two vehicles were damaged.

Emergency services rushed to the scene to put out the fire and cordon off the damage area. At least four fire trucks attended and crews deemed the blaze “controlled” by 1.50pm.

Eyewitnesses said the noise was like “a bomb going off.”

Cathy Gogerly had finished lunch and was in Woolies when she heard this huge explosion.

“I heard a big bang, it was like a bomb going off. The floor shook and I thought whatever it was, it was going to hit the supermarket,” she said.

“I rushed out and saw smoke and people running around.”

MATES Day on the Bay means so much to some partici-pants that they can’t sleep the night before through excite-ment.

This Sunday’s annual event, started by the Futurefish Foundation in 1999, is a real treat for its disabled partici-pants and their carers as it gives them a chance to get out on the water, cast a line, maybe even drive the boat and catch a fish.

And the weather forecast is promising, with sunny skies and warm temperatures expected. The snapper are tipped to be out in force, too.

Boats will leave Carrum boat ramp for a zoned fishing area at 7am and return around 1pm for a barbecue run by volunteers.

Organisers Lynette and Trevor Hogan, who have hosted Mates Day from Launching Way on the Patterson River for the past 15 years, are thrilled that 60 boats have registered to cater for 200 guests and their carers.

“David Kramer has done a good job of organising and the boat owners are very generous,” Mrs Hogan said. “They provide the rods, reels and bait and it’s a huge commitment for them. Some are coming from as far away as Deniliquin, Warragul and Moe.”

Mrs Hogan said the water police, Parks Victoria and Chel-sea police would attend – hopefully with their beach buggy. “Some of the guests will get a ride in it, which is always a big thrill,” she said.

“And, sometimes, even the police air wing pays us a visit, depending on what’s happening.”

She thanked the many Kingston residents who help out on the day, loading boats with equipment, assisting with park-ing and supervising guests.

“It’s going to be a glorious day,” she said.Stephen Taylor

NEW regulations governing aged care homes mean Kingston Council will no longer manage residential aged care facilities by the end of the decade.

Council has decided to sell off the management rights to its aged care facilities at Nixon House, Northcliffe Lodge and Corben House and hopes a commercial aged care provider will step in to operate a new aged care home to be built at Collins St in Mentone.

The ageing Nixon House in Mordialloc, Northcliffe Lodge in Edithvale and Corben House in Mentone will eventually be demolished and council plans to sell former depot land at Collins St in

Mentone to an experienced aged care provider business.

Kingston Council CEO John Nevins told The News new state government regulations in place since 1 July this year stipulated aged care homes should provide “continuity of care” as residents get older would leave the three council-run aged care homes no longer “fit for purpose” in future years.

“The three homes are low care facilities... but we want to keep the bed licences in Kingston.”

Mr Nevins said elderly residents and their families had been advised of council’s plans to close the three aged care homes. He said families were comfortable with the reasoning behind council’s decision which would ensure residents did not have to move from

the new Mentone aged care home if they needed more specialised care in later life.

“People in our facilities understand the disruption when someone has to move elsewhere,” he said.

Vacancy rates at council’s three existing aged care homes have been rising, according to Mr Nevins.

The upper floor of the two-storey Northcliffe Lodge facility cannot house residents due to access problems for the less mobile.

Corben House has 46 beds and a 97 per cent occupancy rate but Mr Nevins said this was because the building “still presents very well” compared to other older buildings at Nixon House and Northcliffe Lodge.

Mr Nevins said the new aged care

home is expected to house “between 90 to 120 beds”.

Council will seek expressions of interest through a public tender process to transfer the management of all its residential aged care facilities and bed licences associated with the three council managed aged care facilities and the community managed Mordialloc Community Nursing Home to a commercial aged care provider.

The new aged care provider will build and operate a new purpose-built facility at Collins St in Mentone to provide “high quality care and...ageing in place”.

Mr Nevins estimated it would take “2 to 3 years” before the new Mentone aged care home is built and ready to house residents.

Council gets out of aged careNeil [email protected]

Seeking new hands for screeningsTHE movies of the great studios re-tain an aura, a presence that captures our interest and imaginations – even in these days of the digital image.

Once hooked, audiences find the lure of the darkened cinema a place of mystery, with the whirring projec-tor and dimmed house lights an Alad-din’s Cave of delights.

Those attending Kingston Art Centre’s Moviehouse screenings each Wednesday go on a cinematic journey through the golden years of Hollywood. Film greats such as Dial M for Murder, Dr Doolittle, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Lady from Shanghai, The Bellboy and It’s a Wonderful Life are an entertainment experience the old fashioned way…

Especially to John Saddington, who has manned the centre’s projector for the past 10 years. His interaction with the audience is a key interest. “We can hear them and, if the projec-tor breaks down, we get the cat calls and funny quips,” he said. “It’s great fun.”

He said movies shown were all from the great days of the 20th cen-tury – not today. “We cater for a sen-ior audience and show a great variety of films. Sometimes, in the school holidays, the grandparents will bring along their grandchildren if the film is suitable.”

But there’s a change brewing, with Mr Saddington unable to continue in his pivotal weekly role post-Decem-ber. Film screenings will be moving from Wednesdays to Mondays and,

Stephen [email protected]

because he is not free that day, the centre is seeking two new projection-ists to take his place.

Full training will be provided but, ideally, those interested will have sol-id backgrounds in 16mm and 35mm cine projectors and sound system mixing decks.

“Two projectionists are needed be-

cause they can back each other up and it minimises the time needed to change over the films, so it appears seamless,” he said.

More than just an interest, Mr Sad-dington admitted movies are “in the blood”.

“I’ve always been interested in films and have a great collection of

16mm movies and my own projec-tor,” he said.

“In my day going to the movies was something every kid did on a Satur-day afternoon. I can’t get enough of them.”

Those interested should contact volunteer coordinator Fiona Oakes on 9556 4440.

What’s ono

The City of Kingston has a long and proud history of looking after elderly residents, providing home-based services and operating three low-care aged care facilities.

On 1 July this year, new Commonwealth regulations removed the distinction between high and low care and gave more financial support for older people to stay in their own home longer.

Council’s three facilities cannot accommodate residents with more complex care needs, so to ensure the availability of high quality residential aged care within the City of Kingston, Council has resolved to create a modern, new aged care facility at its former Depot site in Collins Street, Mentone, to be built and operated by a specialist aged care provider.

Later this year we will begin a public tender process combining the bed licenses and management of our three facilities with the licenses and management of the non-Council operated Mordialloc Community Nursing Home (MCNH) in the creation of this new facility. Current residents’ financial arrangements will not be affected by this proposal.

Council and the MCNH Board expect to hand over management of their existing facilities from mid-2015. All these facilities will continue to operate while the new Collins St. centre is being built, which is expected to take two to three years to complete.

In the meantime, all of Council’s residential aged care facilities, as well as the independently managed MCNH, will remain open for business and will continue to welcome new residents.

Council remains committed to supporting all our residents and will ensure they continue to have access to ongoing care.

What residential aged care facilities does Kingston Council currently manage?

Council’s Residential Aged Care portfolio includes three lower care facilities - Northcliffe Lodge, Nixon Hostel and Corben House.

What is Council planning to do?

Council has previously approved a process to sell its former Depot site in Collins St Mentone to an aged care provider to build and operate a new residential aged care facility at that location. As part of this proposal, Council’s 60 bed licences from Northcliffe Lodge will be included and residents from that facility will be transferred to the new Collins St site once the development is complete.

As Council is poised to seek proposals from suitable aged care operators for the Collins St redevelopment, and Nixon Hostel and Corben House are unable to provide ageing in place and face sustained low occupancy levels expected to exacerbate over time, Council will now also include Nixon Hostel and Corben House in the Collins St tender process.

However, while Corben House will form part of the tender process, it will be done so on the provision that the bed licenses continue for at least five years.

In addition, the Committee of Management operator of the Mordialloc Community Nursing Home (MCNH) has recently confirmed its willingness to join Council in the Collins St development. This means that the residents of the MCNH will also be transferred to the new Collins St site once the development is complete. The MCNH, while located in a Council building

• a higher proportion of Government funding being directed towards helping elderly people to remain at home for as long as possible through the provision of community care services ; while this is a positive step it is having the effect of driving down occupancy levels in Kingston’s lower care facilities; and

• people requiring accommodation in residential aged care are presenting with much higher levels of frailty and often requiring complex nursing care, which our hostels have limited or no capacity to provide.

In addition, the development of many modern purpose-built aged care facilities provides choices for prospective elderly residents and creates a gap between the quality and standard of facilities expected and what is available through Council’s facilities.

Council anticipates that this combination of factors will result in reduced occupancy levels as people are more likely to move into residential aged care facilities that can cater for their needs regardless of their complexity – in short, people will choose facilities that will allow them to age in place.

VIEW Club members from Mordial-loc Chelsea this week celebrated the contribution of Inez Davis, one of the founding members of the club, who is moving to NSW to be near her daughter.

A presentation honoured her final day as a member.

“Ms Davis has been involved in forming nine VIEW Clubs in Victo-ria, and she has contributed signifi-cantly - and worked tirelessly - for The Smith Family and the local com-munity,” secretary Mary Daly said.

The 60-member Mordialloc Chel-sea VIEW Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm at Patterson River Golf Club, The Fair-way, Bonbeach.

Various fun and fundraising activi-ties during the year include theatre matinees, wineries, art galleries, sausage sizzles, coffee and chat and other suggestions that may suit.

The club raises funds for children’s charity The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, and members also volunteer in the community.

“VIEW recently celebrated its goal

of sponsoring 1000 students nation-ally - a significant achievement and a milestone in the history of the re-lationship between VIEW and The Smith Family,” Ms Daly said.

“VIEW is proud to be The Smith Family’s single biggest sponsor of disadvantaged students.”

VIEW – which stands for voice, interests and education of women - is a leading women’s volunteer organi-sation and support network that em-powers women to have their voices heard on issues of importance.

Women meet regularly with others from all walks of life, establish last-ing friendships and help disadvan-taged children through the work of The Smith Family. Educational and leadership opportunities, too, form part of VIEW’s offering.

VIEW claims to be the only na-tional women’s organisation solely focused on supporting and advocat-ing for young disadvantaged Austral-ians in need.

THE Greens have slammed the Coalition’s efforts to improve travel conditions on the Frankston line after candidates last week joined commuters on peak hour services to experience “severe overcrowding” first hand.

Greens candidates across Melbourne last week boarded trains during the evening peak from Flinders Street station to their respective electorates to highlight the scale of overcrowd-ing experienced daily by commuters.

The candidates said it took well over 30 min-utes on the Frankston line before a seat became available - more than half the journey time.

Upper house candidate for the South Eastern Metropolitan Nina Springle said the experience demonstrated just how dire the situation had become for commuters.

“The sad truth is that we’ve become desen-sitised to overcrowding, we think it’s normal and expected, but it shouldn’t be,” Ms Springle said.

“But [overcrowding] honestly doesn’t come as a surprise. We’ve knocked on almost 8000 doors in the south east and the top issue that comes up is public transport.”

Greens candidate for Frankston Jeanette Swain agreed the train system was in urgent need of upgrade.

“This campaign really highlighted how frus-trating travel after work can be, when all you really want to do is relax and take a breather,” Ms Swain said.

“How can we adequately promote public transport as the best mode of transport when the experience mirrors a tin of sardines? It’s not fair to everyday commuters.

“The old parties are so out of touch with commuters, and it’s just not good enough.”

Ms Springle said both the major parties were attempting to make commuters think that standing for half an hour or more on a train was ‘normal’ and rather than spending billions on projects such as the East West Link, the gov-ernment should be investing in improving pub-lic transport infrastructure and improving those services.

“With the balance of power, the Greens will push for improvements to our public transport system,” Ms Springle said.

“We’ll push for more trains at busy times, ex-tending peak hour frequency, and an increase in capacity and efficiency through fast-tracking investment in signalling.

“We’ll also ensure plans to abolish level crossings are consistent with more efficient train services, running more services on week-ends.”

However, state member for Mordialloc Lor-raine Wreford has defended the Coalition’s re-cord in improving conditions for commuters on the Frankston line.

Ms Wreford said “ten weekly morning peak train trips” had been added on the Frankston line since the Coalition assumed power in 2010 which had significantly eased overcrowding.

“That’s an increase of 8.3 per cent,” Ms Wre-ford said. “More broadly, we’ve added 191 new Frankston Line services, which means there’s a train every 10 minutes, seven days a week.

“Under Labor, 23.2 per cent of trains were overcrowded, and punctuality fell to 62.6 per cent. Now, less than 9 per cent of trains are overcrowded and more than 91.5 per cent are on time.”

A CENTURY of historic documents and other memorabilia will be preserved for future genera-tions thanks to a $15,000 state government grant.

Premier Denis Napthine and Carrum MP Donna Bauer visited Patterson River CFA to break the news that money from the Community Advance-ment Fund would be given to the brigade to digi-talise its 100 plus years of documents and photo-graphs.

The brigade began in 1912 when volunteer fire brigades were formed in Carrum and Chelsea to provide fire protection for the Carrum, Chelsea, Bonbeach and Seaford areas.

In 2006, these brigades amalgamated and re-named the Patterson River CFA. The brigade at-tends between 750-800 calls per year.

“The Victorian Coalition Government recog-nises the importance of preserving the history of the volunteer firefighters who have so admirably protected the communities of Chelsea, Carrum and

Patterson River for so long,” said Dr Napthine.Reminiscing about his own family’s involvement

with the CFA near where he grew up in Colac, Dr Napthine said he had nothing but admiration for the volunteer and career firefighters, support staff, and auxiliary members who provided such a vital service to the communities of Victoria.

Mrs Bauer said it was third time lucky for the brigade which had been unsuccessful twice before in securing funding for the project.

“I am delighted that this very important piece of our local history will now be preserved for the fu-ture,” she said.

“And it has been a particular pleasure to meet 86-year-old Norm Stephens, who followed his father to join the brigade as a young teenager in 1944. Norm’s sons, son-in-law and grandsons have carried on the tradition, all becoming mem-bers of the CFA. It is stories like these that we need to tell.”

POLICE have released images, left, captured by CCTV cameras of two men and a vehicle they believe may be connected to a robbery in Carrum Downs during which “tens of thou-sands of dollars” worth of football memorabilia was stolen.

Framed Collingwood Football Club memorabilia were stolen from a home in Ballarto Rd home about 6.30pm on 17 September.

“It is believed two men in a Mazda

Tribute or similar car were at the property two hours before the bur-glary and,” Frankston Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb said.

“One man is around 188cm tall and was wearing a camouflage top and pants while the other man had a medium build and was wearing a grey hoodie, light coloured shorts and a dark coloured baseball cap.”

Details to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

TWO men are wanted for questioning following a wild brawl at the Lang-warrin Hotel on AFL grand final day during which two people were injured, one seriously.

Police said about 10 men were in-volved in the brawl, which erupted in-side the hotel about 6pm following the conclusion of the match on Saturday 27 September.

“A verbal altercation occurred in the sports bar of the Langwarrin Hotel be-tween two males which led to a physi-cal altercation between the men before a number of other persons became in-volved in an affray,” Detective Acting Sergeant Mark Garrett of Frankston crime investigation unit said.

“As a result of the incident, two males sustained head injuries that were treated at the Frankston Hospital. One of the men was knocked out and sustained serious injuries.

Detectives have interviewed and charged seven men in connection with the incident but are seeking to identify a further two males believed to have been involved (pictured above right).

POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a fatal accident that occurred on Fletcher Rd near Frankston police station on 30 September in which a 60-year-old woman was hit by a car.

Investigators have been told the Frankston North woman was cross-ing the road about 8.50am when she was struck by an east-bound Holden ute.

Emergency services were called to the scene and the woman was transported to The Alfred hospital suffering life-threatening injuries. She died last week.

The driver of the ute, a 23-year-old Bonbeach man, has been inter-viewed by police and the investiga-tion remains ongoing.

Police wish to speak to anyone who may have seen the woman around the time of the incident in the vicinity of Fletcher Rd. n WITNESSES to a single vehicle crash that occured in Carrum Downs last week in which a man was criti-cally injured are also being sought by police.

A blue Mitsubishi sedan crashed into a variable message sign gantry on the Mornington Peninsula Free-way, between Thompson Rd and Penninsula Link about 4.15pm on Tuesday 7 September.

The sole occupant, a 22-year-old Carrum Downs man, was taken to The Alfred hospital with life threat-ening injuries.

Police do not believe any other ve-hicles were involved in the incident.

Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Pedestrian hit, killed by car

“Both are described as Caucasian aged mid to late-20s, one with red col-oured hair and a beard and the second with short shaved hair with a distinc-tive tattoo on his right forearm and el-

bow,” Detective Acting Sergeant Gar-rett said.

Anyone able to assist is asked to contact Frankston police on 9784 5540 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

ONE in nine Australian women are af-fected by breast cancer in their lifetime. However, only about half of the women in the City of Kingston are taking part in breast screening programs.

BreastScreen Victoria encourages all women over the age of 50 to have a breast screen every two years. The program is aimed at women aged between 50 to 74 years. Research shows that screening eve-ry two years has the greatest benefit for women in this age group.

BreastScreen Victoria’s Statewide Health Promotion Manager Nikki McGrath says the quick and easy screen-ing process saves lives.

“A breast screen is the best way of de-tecting the disease at its earliest stages and increases a woman’s chance of survival.”

“Nine out of ten women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. The biggest risk factor for breast cancer is being a woman over 50 years of age,” said Mrs McGrath.

“The screen takes just a few minutes and can identify cancers that are too small to be felt by you or your doctor,” she said.

Kingston mayor, Cr Paul Peulich, has called on anyone who is a mother, sister, aughter, grandmother or wife to protect her health, for her own sake and her fam-ily’s.

“It takes just ten minutes every two years and the earlier breast cancer is found, the better your chance of surviv-ing,” Cr Peulich said. “All screening is done by female staff and breast screens can detect most cancers early – even be-fore they can be felt or noticed.”

There are 39 clinics in Victoria includ-ing clinics in Moorabbin, Glen Waverley, Frankston and Elsternwick.See www.breastscreen.org.au to book an appointment or call 13 20 50.

Continued from Page 1Eyewitnesses said they thought the

pilot may have been attempting an emergency beach landing but could not manage it before ‘nose-diving’ into the house.

Camp St resident Joshua Rodri-gues said: “I didn’t see the plane crash, just heard it. I ran outside and saw black smoke and fire eve-rywhere and saw some of the house got burnt and a car damaged as well. I saw heaps of debris everywhere. It got really crowded with police, am-bulance and fire engines arriving.” Another bystander, who said his grandparents live next door to the crash site, said his grandmother was in the kitchen at the time of the plane crash but fortunately was not hurt.

Megan Johnson was one of the first people at the scene of the plane crash and said she heard the aircraft fly overhead near her workplace before it crashed into Camp St.

“It was an incredible explosion that literally rocked the neighbourhood,” Ms Johnson said.

Ms Johnson said she ran to the house that had been hit by the plan and saw “a lady came out the door...she was in shock.”

Remarkably, Ms Johnson entered the woman’s house to try to find the resident’s pet cat after asking wheth-er anyone else was in the building.

“The building was on fire,” Ms Johnson said.

“I went up the stairs and tried to

find the cat but couldn’t see it.”She said several neighbours also

helped in the search and “turned up with fire extinguishers” to try to douse the flames before emergency services arrived.

The field campaign officer for La-bor candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson said one of the neigh-bours had a gas mask and was able to conduct a more extensive search of the house for the missing cat.

“The smoke was very toxic and very dense,” Ms Johnson said.

“It had a chemical smell and I knew I couldn’t stay in there [the house] for long.”

Ms Johnson said she “didn’t think about it at the time” as she ran to the crash site and said several peo-ple rushed to the scene to also help although she noticed others “stand-ing around filming on their mobile phones” instead.

Police said the woman in the house at the time of the plane crash was not injured but was treated for shock.

The aircraft took off from Moorab-bin airport and had planned to return there later in the day.

Police will investigate the crash on behalf of the Coroner in conjunction with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.

Patterson River CFA senior station officer Andrew Delany said the “pi-lot did a good job avoiding houses” given the circumstances.

SOCCER players and their families from all over the peninsula turned out for a benefit day on 28 September for club stalwart Bobby Geddes, who is suffering from motor neurone disease.

Such is their regard for him that teams from Karingal, Mornington, Baxter, Langwarrin and Mt Eliza competed to raise $6000 on the gala day – Bobby’s Day - which attracted about 350 people.

They posed for photographs with Mr Geddes, his wife Leanne and son Jack, 9. The couple have two other children aged 2 and 4.

The games followed a fundraising party earlier in the month for Mr Geddes “so everyone could get together with him and celebrate his life,” club president Mick Hardy said.

“About 450 attended and we raised about $4000 for his family. It was a great night.”

The club also hosted a trivia night on 3 October at Seaford Community Hall for another 270 people and raised around $20,000.

The man described by Mr Hardy as a “top bloke” has been part of the Langwarrin Soccer Club since 1985. “To see how many people have come together to support him and acknowledge him has been amazing,” he said.

“Getting the disease is just bad luck. I’ve watched him over the past eight months when he’s been working with me to now not being able to put one foot in front of the other. It’s a tragedy.”

Mr Hardy described Mr Geddes as an “outgoing bloke very well known on the peninsula. You’ve only got to mention his name; everyone likes him.”

YARN bombing has brought colour, creativity and community together in the Longbeach Storybook Yarn Art Project Trail.

Art pieces celebrating children’s fa-vourites The Rainbow Fish, The Hun-gry Caterpillar, The Lorax and Alice in Wonderland are adorning schools and community centres from Chelsea to Frankston.

And the message is one of friend-ship, sharing, helping others, and car-ing for the environment.

Longbeach PLACE manager Lorna Stevenson said funding for the com-munity development initiative had come from Kingston Council. It was

timed to coincide with Seniors’ Month and Children’s Week from 18-26 Oc-tober.

“We had a meeting to bring yarn bombing into the community and thought, ‘Why can’t we do something creative in Chelsea?’ she said.

“We aimed to do something really positive for the community by engag-ing aged care homes – such as Chelsea Manor- kindergartens and preschools and schools in making the creative pieces and they look wonderful.

“The project has taken on a life of its own. Now the idea has gone global and next year we’ll do it again.”

Children at Chelsea Heights Primary

adorned their front gate with a huge crochet version of the Rainbow Fish, an octopus with eight vacuum cleaner legs, and a school of little fishes made with coat hangers.

Parent Jane Fitchett said children involved in making the pieces learned creative skills in weaving, crocheting, knitting and pompom making.

“In The Rainbow Fish the story is about sharing and friendship – and that’s a message we want to get out there.”

Other schools participating in the yarn trail are Bonbeach, Chelsea and St Francis Xavier in Frankston.

By Paul ‘Tracker’ PingiaroEVEN with good numbers of squid, flat-head, gummy sharks and salmon fishing in Port Phillip and Western Port is all about snapper. So how do you go about landing a snapper? There are many things that you can do to increase your chances of landing a big red.

The number one tip I received from my father many years ago is that you have to fish where the fish are. At its most basic this equates to fishing shallow waters (6-15 meters) at night and deeper waters during the day (16-22 meters).

Popular Snapper fishing destinations include Mornington, Carrum and St Kilda in Port Phillip and Hastings, Crib Point, and Rhyll in Western Port.

Timing is everything yet nothing at the same time. The peak times to land a snapper are dawn, dusk and the change of tide. My number one saying is that you will not catch a snapper in your of-fice, Mother Nature in all her splendour has made fish both totally predictable and completely unpredictable.

Each year I see hundreds of snapper caught with none of the key times in play, you just have to be in it to win it.

Snapper fishing can be a waiting game. If you’re approaching a peak fish-ing time stay put, be patient and keep those lines in the water. I like to give a snapper spot at least two hours (prefer-ably one hour either side of the prime time), then by all means move about or sound around for another spot.

Hard core snapper fishos should keep a dairy detailing date, time, tide, moon phase, location, weather conditions, bait and results. This will enable you to pre-dict fish movements and help you plan your next snapper sortie.

Snapper fishing can be as complex or as simple as you like. From handlines to

graphite rods, soft plastics and braided lines, there is a niche for every angler and their style.

I opt for a 4-7kg spinning outfit in Port Phillip and a 10kg overhead set-up in Western Port. My rig is always a running sinker rig with the sinker weight dictated by the conditions. I never use a wire trace when snapper fishing, 40-60lb monofila-ment is ample. Snapper snatchers/flasher rigs, soft plastics, jigs and even flies all account for their share of snapper, but it’s bait fishing that is the most popular entry level technique. Squid, pilchards, silver whiting, garfish and saurie are the most popular baits for snapper.

Use only the freshest baits available but when the snapper are on the bite it won't matter what you offer. The trick is to entice them when they are not in a frenzy mode.

Anglers should match their hook size to their bait size, for small baits a size 2/0 hook could be ample but for larger baits a pair of 6/0 hooks may fit the bill.

Any fishing adventure should be planned. Check the weather as there is no point planning to go fishing if the wind is going to blow 30 knots. Make sure you have all that you need, don’t look like a goose and run out of bait, hooks or sinkers. Be sure to have change for your launching fee. Know where your landing net is and most importantly if you’re boat fishing make sure that you have the correct safety equipment, enough fuel and a charged battery.

How to land the fish

CHILDREN’S Week gets off to an artistic start on Sunday thanks to chil-dren from Parkdale Primary School. They are staging the school’s first art and craft exhibition 10am-3pm.

Known as PACE – the event will showcase their engagement with the visual arts. It includes art and craft that the children have completed in class, as well as works they have created out of school.

“We are proud of what the kids have accomplished over the course of the year,” Parkdale principal Leanne Brad-ney said.

“We see this as an opportunity to ex-hibit their amazing work so it gets the recognition it deserves.

We have developed an engaging art

program and the kids love coming to these classes. This exhibition has given them a focus for their efforts.”

In working towards the art show, the children have been learning skills and honing their abilities in order to pro-duce something suitable for display.

“We think it’s important that they take the time so that they feel they have achieved something they can be justifiably proud of,” Ms Bradney said. “It’s important that they invest in what they make.”

All students have art work in the show, which includes everything from puppets and prints by the younger ones through to embroideries and wire in-sect sculptures, as well as elaborate felted artworks made by the grades 5

and 6 pupils.As well as having their work on

show, senior students will be involved in running the event - whether it’s wel-coming visitors, showing them around the artworks, explaining exhibitions or assisting with the interactive art spaces.

The public is welcome to come along and visit and enjoy morning or afternoon tea at the cafe.

Children’s week runs from 18-26 October. It celebrates the right of chil-dren to enjoy childhood.

It is also a time for children to dem-onstrate their talents, skills and abili-ties.

See www.childrensweek.org.au for further details.

Ella BachéElla Bache has been located in Mordialloc for more than 20 years.My journey with Ella Bache began almost 20 years ago. I’d always had a keen interest in the beauty industry, so I decided to return to school to do a part-time Diploma of Beauty Therapy whilst working full-time in an unrelated field. I was fortunate enough to secure a weekend position as a Beauty Therapist in an Ella Bache salon and I loved the work. I left my ‘day job’ and took a full-time role as an Ella Bache Therapist.The chance to purchase the salon I was working

in arose three years later and I jumped at the opportunity. Motivated by pride, ambition, a strong work ethic and passion, I was able to establish a fabulously loyal client base that values our commitment to customer service and a brand that delivers results.All the dedication, commitment and passion have translated into a multi-award winning salon - this recognition is very satisfying.

FRANKSTON’S Chisholm TAFE is set to become a premier tertiary train-ing centre – no matter who wins next month’s state election.

Premier Denis Napthine dropped in to Frankston last week to announce a $45.5 million redevelopment of the Chisholm institute.

Chisholm Institute CEO Maria Pe-ters, Dr Napthine and Higher Educa-tion and Skills Minister Nick Wake-ling unveiled a joint plan to redevelop the Frankston campus to include an advanced manufacturing and trades training base, and a new centre for health and community services.

Chisholm will contribute $23.6m to the redevelopment, while the state government has pledged $21.9m.

Ms Peters confirmed the state’s $21.9m contribution would be fully al-located in any incoming government’s budget, whether that be a Liberal Na-tional Coalition or Labor state govern-ment.

She told The News that discussions with the state government and Major Projects Victoria had begun about 18 months ago.

“It was identified that Frankston needed development,” Ms Peters said. “It’s very exciting for the people of our region.”

Ms Peters said a bachelor of engi-neering technology degree would be offered at Frankston Chisholm for the first time as a result of the planned new Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Trades, which will be built onsite.

The near $22m government invest-ment would be used to “kick start” the project, Ms Peters said.

She envisaged a “two-year build” once construction began, with a Centre for Health and Community Services, VET, and tertiary studies planned for the campus redevelopment.

A “conceptual” plan of the revamp of Chisholm’s three Frankston build-ings was displayed when Premier Napthine visited the campus.

Ms Peters said there would be “evolving developing stages”, with further planning to take place over the next 12 months.

The CEO said he was confident Chisholm Frankston could finance future stages in the campus redevel-opment in conjunction with “funding available at that time”.

A statement issued by the Premier and Mr Wakeling stated: “The new facilities at Chisholm are strategically located, with 60 per cent of Victoria’s automotive supply chain companies located in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs. This project will enable Chisholm Institute to cater for automo-tive workers who want to transition to new jobs in the advanced manufactur-ing and trades industries.”

The financial support for Chisholm’s Frankston campus comes two years af-ter the Coalition state government, un-der then premier Ted Baillieu, stripped about $30m a year from Chisholm TAFE’s budget as part of $300m an-nual TAFE sector funding cut across Victoria.

“It’s been a challenge and we ad-justed our business model,” Ms Peters

Chisholm upgrade on course

Funding boost: TAFE student Mitchell Dowling, Premier Denis Napthine, Carrum MP Donna Bauer and Higher Education and Skills Minister Nick Wakeling at the Chisholm Institute of Frankson TAFE Frankston campus. Picture: Gary Sissons

said. “We’ve managed to maintain the quality of our product.”

She praised staff for their profes-sionalism in ensuring the Frankston campus maintained its high education standards.

Mr Wakeling’s statement blamed the previous Labor state government for the TAFE sector’s woes, citing “a botched introduction of the open mar-ket by Labor in 2008.”

In August, opposition spokesman for

skills and apprenticeships Steve Her-bert said many Victorian TAFE provid-ers faced “a bleak future”.

“Students have seen a drop of over $100m in state government operational funding to TAFE, as well as massive fee hikes, large-scale staff sackings, and the outsourcing of teaching.”

Many TAFES suffered losses last fi-nancial year but Chisholm Frankston reported a net surplus of $30.6m.

HISTORY is about more than famous events, places or buildings. Some of the most fascinating historical stories are those about everyday people and their lives.

Seaford resident Bev Wilkinson is fascinated by the real-life tales told by older generations and decided to capture their life experiences for fu-ture generations as part of her self-funded Celebrate Living History project.

Older Australians’ life stories are documented on Ms Wilkinson’s Cel-ebrate Living History website.

The Griffith University journalism graduate married her passion for the project with her industry contacts to launch an internship program to give journalist students the opportunity to interview seniors and curate their life stories.

“I contacted my former univer-sity lecturer on the Gold Coast and pitched the project as giving students the chance to learn interview skills while also learning about history,” Ms Wilkinson said.

The lecturer, Professor Stephen Stockwell, could see merit in the idea and the Celebrate Living History pro-ject was born in 2009.

Melbourne’s Swinburne University and its journalism students have also since joined the project.

“It’s great to give seniors who or-

Writing ‘bout their generation: Alan Ross, left, Frankston High student Liam Wilkinson, Bill Underwood, Frankston High student Hana Kolar, Celebrate Living History founder Bev Wilkinson and Gail Dudeck are working together to bring history to life at an exhibition at Frankston Arts Centre this month.

dinarily may not have had an oppor-tunity to tell their story the chance to shine,” Ms Wilkinson said.

She admitted it was difficult to gain the trust of some interviewees who were “a bit suspicious” at first un-til Celebrate Living History “gained credibility” but Ms Wilkinson finds most seniors approached for interview are happy to talk.

“Everyone’s story is important and it’s important for younger generations to know what life was like in the past.”

Ms Wilkinson is now inviting high school students to contribute to the Celebrate Living History project.

Frankston High School princi-pal John Albiston was keen for the school’s Year 7 students to get in-volved.

“Their enthusiasm is so raw and their contributions have totally blown me away,” Ms Wilkinson said.

“When I’m editing their articles for the website I can’t believe they’re written by 11 and 12 year olds.”

The students’ work will be includ-ed in a Celebrate Living History of Frankston exhibition at the Frankston Art Centre’s Cube 37 gallery later this month.

Ms Wilkinson is always happy to speak to students wishing to contrib-ute to the project, seniors who would like to be interviewed or corporate sponsors for the community-minded project.

She reckoned she had spent “about $8000”, excluding her time, on the

Celebrate Living History project to date which is a part-time passion self-funded by her freelance journal-ism work and customer service jobs.

“I really believe in this… if it was about money I would have given up a long time ago,” Ms Wilkinson said.

“I love what I do, I love writing and any day I get a chance to do more with the project is a great day.”

She thanked BAT Designs in Frankston for its in-kind support in designing the Celebrate Living His-tory website and the Tax After Hours accountancy firm for its pro bono help with the paperwork required for a not-for-profit organisation.

“More sponsors are always needed to make it sustainable,” she said.n The Celebrate Living History in Frankston exhibition will be held at Frankston Art Centre, Cube 37, 27-37 Davey St, Frankston on Tuesday 21 October until Saturday 25 Octo-ber.

All welcome. Entry is by coin donation with all proceeds going to Celebrate Living History Australia which connects seniors and students to document stories.

Morning tea will be provided on Wednesday 22 October at Cube 37 from 10am-12pm.

THE sight and sound of steam loco-motives has a visceral effect on gen-tlemen and ladies of a certain age – and, it seems, on children of all ages. Witness the effect of loco K163, once a derelict decoration in a Frankston park, now in gleaming working order, hissing and huffing as it gently nudges up to equally glorious restored car-riages at Moorooduc railway station.

These things have souls, surely! And surely that short, sharp warn-ing is emanating from a five-chime Lunkenheimer steam whistle, causing tiny startled leaps among passengers waiting to board on a recent Sunday morning?

Men in uniform fuss around the gasping loco, like bees around their

queen. We are gathered to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the first train to run on the Mornington line – and the 30th anniversary of the arduous battle to save the loco and the line.

Mornington was part of the railway frenzy of Gold Rush Victoria, when a line was built to every electorate. After a few hiccups, the line was declared closed to traffic on 8 March 1983.

All aboard to the ringing of a bell. The flag is waved. The train lurches into life with complaining creaks and squeaks. This is how a real train sounds.

Then off to Mornington, clicketty-clicking just as the first train in 1889 would have done and as Melbourne suburban lines used to, past grazing

stock in manicured paddocks at a lei-surely pace, warning with a wavering hoot as we approached roads, mutual vigorous waving from carriage to car, a woman wiping a cinder from her eye then closing the train window.

Some 20 minutes later, we’re there. Everybody’s out and rushing to watch as the loco is shunted from stem to stern for the trip back. Applause as the coupling occurs with the merest click.

The Mornington Railway Preserva-tion Society (morningtonrailway.org.au) has achieved mightily in its 30 years. It has moved several times – from Frankston to HMAS Cerberus (they had spare a siding), then to its Moorooduc home – with rolling stock, the formidable K173 and assorted

buffers and bogeys. Moving a fridge is tough enough: a steam locomotive?

They have built a station, moved and installed a footbridge, renovated the “road” with line and sleeper, and now are laying more line, to Baxter. (Is that lad rather young to be driving this 63-tonne behemoth?)

Look across from the Moorooduc platform, where CWA ladies are offering passengers delightfully old-fashioned freshly cooked biscuits and slices, to the second steam loco, the carriages and wagons awaiting restoration, to the big old diesel loco, engine drumming, awaiting its turn to perform.

This writer took a steam train to and from school in Hobart many, many

decades ago. What fun! The spur line to the Cadbury factory’s station was at the top of a testing incline for a train arriving in the morning loaded with workers.

Some naughty boys greased the track one morning. The train puffed furiously but failed to make the grade in several attempts. Smirking, the naughty boys, with an unassailable excuse for being late to class, walked down the hill past the surly workers walking up.

Note to wannabe train drivers: you can take steam or diesel for a spin, after suitable, er, training. A perfect gift for the boy turning 50 who’d like to take his birthday party for a ride.

Join us to raise awareness for children’s safety with a trick or treat

around Karingal Hub!

DanielWalk for

kids come in

costume lots of

free fun

THIS year, Mornington Peninsula Kids and MPNG in con-junction with Karingal Hub Shopping Centre are organising the annual Walk for Daniel on October 31.

The walk is part of the Day for Daniel awareness pro-gram, organised by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, with a focus on information rather than fund raising.

Anna Brown, from Mornington Peninsula Kids, says it was a great success last year and they expect to have an even larger turnout this year.

“The walk is held at Karingal Hub so there is no concern about the weather. As this year’s Day for Daniel falls on October 31, we are combining the event with a trick or treat around the centre,” said Anna, who interviewed Bruce Mor-combe last year. “After interviewing Mr Morcombe last year I was astounded at how upfront he was, the strength

and courage that he and Denise show. They don’t want it to happen to anybody else and are now devoting their time to education and prevention.”

The Walk for Daniel starts at 4pm at Karingal Hub. Bring the kids along in Halloween costume to trick or treat in safety. Enjoy free goodies with face-painting and a free drink station from McDonalds, a Batman appearance, St Kilda Football Club mascot, trick or treat lollies and a free colouring book.

The walk will start at 4.30pm, wandering around the cen-tre twice along with the Karingal Hub Walking Club.

mation on the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, go to www.danielmorcombe.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Pick a winner in the Caulfield CupCompiled by Melissa HodgeAT St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, on Sunday, services of humiliation and intercession on account of the drought will be held. A special form of prayer has been issued, to be used at every Church of England service in Victoria.

***THE result of the deputation arranged by the Frankston Progress Association to the Commissioners of Railways has resulted in an improvement to our service being promised on the com-mencement of the summer timetable in November.

The thanks of the Frankston public are due to the association for the ad-dition to the timetable of a train leav-ing Melbourne at 11.15am, arriving at Frankston about 12.30 o’clock. This should be a great convenience to holi-day makers and day trippers.

***OWING to various causes the work-ing bee at the Frankston cemetery was not so large as had been intended. There will be another today – see our advertising columns.

***THE Circuit Quarterly Meeting of the Frankston Methodist Church was held at Frankston on Wednesday, 30th. The minister, Rev R. Jackson, presiding.

Representatives from each place in the circuit were present.

The minister was unanimously in-vited to remain in the circuit another year.

The Shire President (Cr W. J. Oates) who was present as a member, was congratulated on his elevation to of-

fice, and complimented for his adher-ence to temperance principles.

The quarterly balance sheet dis-closed a small credit balance.

The recent opening of Carrum Downs was reported upon favourably.

Feeling reference was made to the death of the late senior Circuit Stew-ard (Mr A. E. Gault), who did so much to advance the interests of the church he loved and faithfully served.

A resolution was passed regarding the abolition of the wet canteen at Broadmeadows.

The ladies of the Frankston church kindly provided tea for the members and friends, for which hearty thanks were given.

***TODAY (Saturday) the Caulfield Cup will be run, and although it will be very hard to pick the winner, I am of the opinion that the judges verdict may result as follows :–Anna Carlov-na or St. Carnawyne 1, Uncle Sam 2, Bon Ton 3.

***THERE was a moderate attendance at the Frankston Methodist Church on a Thursday evening when Sister Bessie, Home Mission Deputation, gave an interesting address on various areas of missionary work. The speaker was lis-tened to attentively and much appre-ciated by those present. Rev Jackson occupied the chair.

***AT a meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association, held on Saturday even-ing, it was decided to support As-pendale district in an effort to get a

train from Melbourne put on between 5.32pm and 6.22pm. Members stated that many persons who were able to leave their offices in the city at 5.30 could not catch the first, and it was a great infliction to have to wait 50 min-utes for the next. There are trains leav-ing for Mordialloc at 5.52 and 6.12. It was suggested that the former of these be cut to Chelsea and Carrum, and the meeting agreed to ask the Railway Commissioners either to put on a new through train or to let the 5.52pm train run it through.

***ON Tuesday the passenger traf-fic on the Caulfield, Mordialloc and Frankston lines was seriously delayed owing to the engine of a goods train breaking down at Malvern.

The goods train left Melbourne for| Berwick at 2.50pm and when the Mal-vern station was reached, the side rod of the engine snapped.

The train was then helpless, and as the line was blocked the passenger train which left Flinders Street at 3.30 for Oakleigh had to push the disabled goods on to Caulfield, where it was shunted on to a side line to await the arrival of a new engine.

This necessitated a long delay, and as a result the 3.50 down train to Mor-dialloc was held up for 40 minutes, and the train 38 which was to have left Flinders Street at 4.37 for Frankston did not depart until a quarter of an hour after its appointed time.

In addition, the running of several sub-urban passenger trains was interfered with, but traffic became normal again be-

fore the business rush set in at 5 o’clock. ***

Encouraging Tree PlantingTHE Minister of Forests was waited on by representatives of the Victorian Fruit Growers’ Association, who had previously interviewed the Minister of Agriculture.

They stated that the Nurserymen and Seedmen’s Association had passed a resolution in approval of the attitude of the fruit growers in endeavouring to secure the reforestation of areas in the state, as this meant the beautifica-tion of the district; the provision of a supply of timber, which would be of value in the future; and the increase of the rain fall.

They presented a copy of this reso-lution, and they asked that the Minis-ter should lend encouragement to re-planting – for example, the replanting of from three to ten acre blocks, on the system followed in America.

The association, in addition to its concern for an active policy in the control of the forests had a special interest. It would benefit if the trees could be planted that would provide timber for box making.

The deputation suggested the plant-ing of pine trees.

Mr Brown pointed out that under the existing law it was provided that set-tlers who planted their land with trees could be relieved of the higher taxes resulting from increase in value. The department was prepared to encour-age reforestation but felt that it was already doing the work recommended by the association.

It had a plantation of pines covering about 1000 acres on French Island. Last week they had conferred with officers on forestry, and it was fully recognised that more timber would be wanted in the future.

***TYABB. It is with deepest sympathy that we record the death of Mrs J. H. Thornell, of Hazelglen, who passed away rather suddenly on Wednesday morning last. The deceased had been suffering more or less during the last twelve months, but suddenly lapsed into a serious illness on Saturday last when her relatives at once realised that there was no hope for recovery.

***ON Monday evening last Sister Bes-sie, of the Livingstone Home Mission Society, gave a very interesting lecture in the local hall on missionary work.

A fairly large gathering assembled, and enjoyed listening to the speaker, and also to the anthems which were splendidly rendered by the Somerville Methodist Choir. The sum of 30s was taken up by collection towards the Mission Fund.

***THE Westernport entertainers gave another one of their grand concerts in the local town hall on Friday night last week, in aid of the brass band. Owing to the bad state of the weather, there was not as large an audience present as was anticipated, but those who were present were astonished at the pro-gress made by the band.

The Times They Are A Changing…a song maybe the Grammy Award winning solo artist Gotye with his group The Basics (Kris Schroeder and Tim Heath) could be singing? Get ready Victoria – you will be hearing a lot more from them as they run in the upcoming state election in Victoria.Gotye, aka Wally De Backer along with long time friends Schroeder and Heath, have formed The Basics Rock’n’Roll Party (BRRP) and have confirmed their acceptance of running on November 29. “We want to demonstrate that it is possible to have a political party in Australia that is not Labor or Liberal. A group that is not ultimately driven by the mining or union sectors. A party that’s players are not treated like royalty with glossy leaders” said Schroeder. He went on to say “we are not politicians, we are ordinary folk without an agenda who work on the basis of honesty and integrity. We are not being paid by lobby groups for what we want to achieve. We just want people to have a voice to ask questions. Questions I am sure we would all want the answers too. Why is this happening? Who made that decision for me?”

The trio do not want to change the political landscape as they have in the music industry, they want to prove anyone can take their place in politics – there is enough room for everyone!The three pillars of the parties political movement are quite impressive; innovation, education, and of course Rock ‘n’ Roll. Their objectives include improving indigenous local learning in Victorian schools, compulsory first-aid training in high schools and having more access to music in rural areas.With over 13,000 registered interest parties on the groups Facebook page, the small number of 500 registered members needed with the Victorian Electoral Commission is just a formality. One of the latest quips on the page is over 60% of the members so far are Red Heads; this did set the cat amongst the pigeons – we all know the most memorable of Red Heads that was at the helm of a major political party & our country – some may say changed the landscape for the better or worse? Don’t let this put you off. They are not Red Head bias – we have confirmed this for you!The firm thoughts of the group are that decisions do not have to be made by the elite, well-to-do, or pure-bred politicians.

A large part of the issues that they are discussing are federally based, and this is an arena for the future of BRRP.

History has shown that well know personalities perform well in the political arena. Peter Garrett would be one of those that come to mind. Possibly misguided, he did not stick to his own thoughts and agenda. In my humble opinion I think it was a bit of a compromise between his own ideals and what was convenient at the time. Looking back at the Midnight Oil the music completely contradicted his outward Labor political views, maybe a lesson that convenience is not always the best choice. Enough political insight. The Basics Rock’n’Roll party will shake things up I’m sure. If you’re interested in keeping up with everything BRRP, check out the Facebook page in preparation for the Election on November 29th – I am sure you will be hearing a lot about it over the coming months!

By Stuart McCulloughIT was inevitable. I’d seen the first se-ries of ‘What Really Happens in Bali’ and felt inspired. Heck, I can fall over, get drunk, say stupid and downright inappropriate things that makes mil-lions of people wince whilst getting an horrific but reasonably priced tattoo as well as the next person. Clearly, this was the place for me. That my pale skin leaves me susceptible to third de-gree burns when exposed to anything heavier than a forty-watt light bulb would not dissuade me. Besides, they must be filming a second series by now. Given that my groundbreaking and ingenious offer to be The Bach-elor whilst living exclusively inside the Big Brother compound was reject-ed, going to Bali and injuring myself could be my big break. So to speak.

There are so many reasons to go and only one reason to stay. To put it sim-ply, my back is an empty canvas that is presently going to waste. I want a drag-on. With fire coming out of its mouth and holding an electric guitar (prefer-ably a Gibson Les Paul ‘57, if that’s not too much to ask). Next to it, I’ll get the Southern Cross and below that add a few Chinese characters which, in an act of supreme irony, I hope will say ‘Australian Made’, but will probably say ‘Property of the People’s Republic of China’. Bali is the land of discount tattooing. That your provider may be using a sharpened Paddle Pop stick as his tool of trade and drawing ink from a severed biro is all part of the joy of overseas travel. The reason for not go-

ing is simple: my abiding and deep respect for gravity.

I am not a good flyer. It’s one of many things at which I truly suck. I am awful Formula One driver, but I seldom if ever get asked to race. When it comes to laying down rhyme, I’m not much of a rapper even though my employee record names ‘ODB’ from the Wu Tang Clan as my next of kin. I am a hopeless thoracic sur-geon although I did once write a film script called ‘Thoracic Park’ in which pre-historic medical practitioners at-

tack Jeff Goldblum, partly because he disturbed them in their natural habitat but mostly just for being Jeff Gold-blum. Whilst I can avoid representing the Red Bull team, recording with the Wu Tang Clan and conducting surgery – both official and otherwise – some things you can only evade for so long.

Sitting next to me on a plane is not a fun experience. For a time, I travelled with work colleagues from Brisbane to Perth on a semi regular basis. I could almost see them age over the course of the flight, such was the effect of my

anxiety. This time, I’ve come prepared with the entire last season of Breaking Bad loaded onto the iPad in the hope of distracting myself and, possibly, providing a vicarious viewing experi-ence to the six year old sitting beside me that may well scar him or her for life.

Flying is the ultimate ‘don’t look down’ experience. But as I tighten my seatbelt on the plane, it’s clear that air-travel has changed. I wait for the moment to arrive, but it never does. It seems that somewhere in the quest for low-cost air travel we have abandoned the one thing that distinguished flying from other forms of transport: the hot towel. Frankly, without a hot towel I might as well be sitting on a tram. Who is it that makes such monumental decisions? Is there a committee? Was there a plebiscite? The stewardess re-fuses to answer any of these questions no matter how often I push the button. As a result, I’m forced to improvise by wetting one of my socks and using two biros as a makeshift pair of tongs. “Hot towel?”, I ask.

In flying terms, six hours is nothing. But for someone who would rather extract his own teeth with a pair of barbecue tongs than get on a plane it’s a lot of time to distract yourself. Walter White is well on the path to de-struction and I’ve eaten a dehydrated meal of rice whose claims of being ‘Nasi Goreng’ are roughly as about as credible as my claims of being Miss Universe. Everyone around me seems incredibly relaxed, no doubt preoc-

cupied by having to decide which cut price tattoo to get first. When the flight touches down in Denpasar, I feel as though I’ve achieved something quite spectacular. We are herded onto a small bus to get to the terminal and I am struck in the back of the head by a mobile phone as a young holiday goer makes a face that resemble a fish re-cently injected with Botox and takes selfies. Forget boogie bags stuffed with contraband; if there’s anything that deserves a stretch in an Indone-sian prison, it’s taking selfies on pub-lic transport. However, my attempts to report these activities to security staff are greeted with a chronic lack of in-terest.

When I travel, I’m always keen to respect the local customs. In the case of Denpasar airport, the local cus-toms involve queuing up for an hour and waiting to hand over a wad of American dollars. Soon, we are col-lected from the airport by a young man called ‘Mus’ whose job it is to take us to Ubud. He has Bob Marley on the stereo and when I make a com-ment about this fact, he interprets it as some kind of criticism and switches to One Direction. Suddenly, my fear of flying is dwarfed by my fear of any-thing to do with Simon Cowell. By the time we arrive at our destination, I am a pale, quivering wreck and our hosts come out and greet us in the tra-ditional Indonesian manner by asking, “Hot towel?”

PROVINCIALBy IT Gully CRIB Point is well placed for victory after the first day of the second round in Provincial cricket.

Up against Moorooduc at Moorooduc Reserve, the Magpies batted their full complement of 80 overs and scored an impressive 9/305.

The visitors won the toss and had little hesitation in batting first.

Things didn’t start well though when opener Henry Dolphin was claimed for just five, however, this brought the champ Luke Herrington to the crease with run machine and skipper Rob Hearn.

The pair took the score from 10 to 66 before Herrington was dismissed for 43 after belting seven fours.

Matty Blake contributed 29 to the scoreboard, batting at four instead of opening the innings.

When both Blake and Hearn (65)

were dismissed, this brought Brad Davidson and Ricky Thompson together.

The pair put on a clinic, smacking the pill to all parts of Moorooduc Reserve, sharing a partnership of 112.

Davidson, after hitting four fours and two sixes, was dismissed by Shane Manby for 51, before Thompson (66 including four fours and four sixes) became another Manby victim. At that stage, the Pies were in control, the score was on 275 and there were some overs still in play.

Chris Richmond, who played in the Second XI the week before, contributed a well timed 34.

Manby was the pick of the Ducs’ bowlers with 4/57 from 12 overs. Bobby Wilson and Ross Cordeaux each claimed two wickets.

Langwarrin has set Mt Eliza a competitive total in their match at Emil Madsden Reserve.

The Kangas though would be

disappointed that it didn’t post a higher score than 230 after getting away to such a great start.

Opening pair Simon McEvoy and Mark Cooper put on 89 for the partnership before McEvoy was the first to go for 40. Cooper, who was ordinary with the bat last season, had a big pre-season and he followed-up his good first round knock with 57.

However, other than 65 from the in-form Andy Johnson, the Kangas really didn’t get going, their final six batsmen not reaching double figures.

Credit to Lyle House and his Mounties, who took a stranglehold on the game in the back end of the innings and kept the Kangas to a more than gettable total.

House himself finished with 3/79 from 24 overs, however, it was Nick Baron, who played in the Second XI last week, who really did the damage.

Baron was called up with just 15 overs left in the innings and had

an immediate impact, getting a caught and bowled immediately and finishing with 5/33 from eight overs.

The Mounties will be confident they can get the runs, while Langwarrin will be confident that they can defend 230, especially with Dwayne Doig and Adrian Mack on their side.

Sorrento will be looking for a big day on day two of their match against neighbour Rye, after already claiming first innings victory.

The Sorras bowled first and rolled the Demons for 108. AJ King was on fire with 6/28 while Anthony Blackwell picked-up 4/22. Tom Barrand top scored with 27 for Rye.

In reply, the Sorras are cruising at 1/114 with former Demon Corey Harris unbeaten at the crease on 68.

Pines and Baxter will go down to the wire after 12 wickets tumbled on day one.

The Piners did the job with the ball with everyone contributing,

including Nick Wilcox, Brett Remy, Ricky Ramsdale and Pat Jackson, all claiming two wickets.

Baxter was dismissed for 142, Joe Rule following-up his ton last week with another 69.

In reply, Pines is 2/27.Peninsula Old Boys have

already picked-up the win against Heatherhill.

The Hills were rolled for 70 before the Old Boys responded with 2/105 at the close of play. No doubt an outright is on the cards for the home side.

In potentially the big upset of the round, Mornington is well and truly on the ropes against Long Island.

Playing at home, the Doggies batted first and were rolled for just 90.

In reply, the Islanders are 4/101. Whilst the Islanders are a great side, one gets the feeling that there are some twists and turns still left in this one.

Magpies’ batting puts them in box seat

DISTRICTBy IT Gully NEW kids on the MPCA District block, Red Hill, has set the scene for a cracking game against the competition’s glamour team, Seaford.It was a tough second round draw for the Hillmen, who elevated themselves to District ranks after winning the flag last season.

Seaford has recruited extremely well in the off season and would have fancied their chances to intimidate the newest side to the competition.

However, Red Hill stood firm against the potent Seaford attack and posted a sensational score of 9/294.

Things didn’t start all that well after Seaford sent Red Hill into bat. Boom recruit Laurie Heath got his stumps rearranged by Andy McMannis when the score was on eight.

However, Andrew Mock and Rheede Hopgood were brought together at the crease and really did set the game up for the home side.

Mock played an anchor role and finished with 37, while Hopgood opened the shoulders and belted 108. The pair took the score from eight to 141 before Hopgood was dismissed by Faisal Payenda.

The Hopgood dismissal brought Simon Dart to the crease. Suffice to say things didn’t get any easier for Seaford’s bowlers at that point.

Dart finished unbeaten on 93.The positive for Seaford was the

bowling figures of Payenda, who finished with 7/114 off 29 overs. McMannis claimed 2/80 off 18. Paul Hartle bowled just 14 overs but went for 44.

Hastings did well to keep the run machine that is Delacombe Park to 9/242.

The Blues were able to ensure that no Devils were able to get off the leash, although there could be an argument mounted that part-time batsman Ben Brittain should not have scored 62.

Brittain’s knock was an important one, as it helped push the score beyond 200. At one stage, the Devils

were 9/187.Max Sherry scored 21 batting at

11 and Brittain was unbeaten on 62. There were also 30 extras bowled, including 11 no balls. Chris Brittain also contributed 44.

Tim Birch was the best of the Hastings’ bowlers, the skipper picking-up 4/50, while Luke Hewitt claimed 3/63.

It could be a case of the one that got away for the Blues, who probably allowed 50 additional runs. The batsmen now really need to step up to the plate.

Somerville is well on track to get the points against Mt Martha.

The Eagles bowled the Reds out for 127, however, lost two wickets for just 21 runs before the close of play.

Flinders has plenty of work to do against Seaford Tigers.

The Sharks batted first and managed 9/171, Tim Clark top scoring with 53 and Shane Beggs getting 25. Corey Hand was on fire for the Tigers with 5/54, while Ash Mills picked-up 2/28.

Daniel Polson scored a magnificent unbeaten 178 in Carrum’s massive 7/302 against Boneo.

Polson came to the crease when the Lions were in some bother at 3/58, however, he hung around for the rest of the innings.

John Mitchell was a solid support and scored 56 in their 133-run partnership.

Stewart Mathieson was the best of the Boneo bowlers with 3/52, while the evergreen Cameron Williams claimed 2/49 for the Pandas.

Main Ridge is well on the way to picking up the win against Baden Powell.

The Braves batted first and were bowled out for 152. Josh Waldron top scored for the Braves with 49. However, the day belonged to the Cougars’ bowlers, Jason Albress taking 4/19 and Scott Millar 4/66.

The Cougars’ batsmen then went to town, Michael Holmes belting an unbeaten 84 and Ed Aarons is cruising on 32. At stumps, the home side was 1/128.

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT Gully BALLAM Park is a big chance to score the biggest upset in three or four seasons in their match against Balnarring in Sub District cricket.

Everything seemed to be going as normal in the match at Ballam Park, the Saints picking up wickets at will and eventually rolling the home side for 104.

It was all very normal at that point.Mitch Kleinig did the job with the new ball for

the Saints with a super impressive 4/2 from 13 overs, including 12 maidens, while Tyler Wilton was also superb with the nugget, claiming 4/27 from 10 overs.

New Knights’ skipper Ryan O’Connor contributed 28 runs with the bat, batting at nine, while Michael Casey opened with 34. Matt Moore with 10 was the only other Ballam Park batsman to score double figures.

What happened next though was the big shock.With 24 overs left in the day, the Saints would

have expected to set themselves up for a tilt at an outright win.

What they did, however, was slump to 6/51 at the close of play.

The top six Saints’ batsmen are all back in the sheds, including boom recruit David Ross, who was trapped in front off the bowling of Marc Blume for 13.

Mark Walles top scored with 20.O’Connor picked-up 2/13, while Leigh

Parslow snared 2/6.A shock victory is on the cards for the Knights.Rosebud has a lot of work to do against

Carrum Downs.

The Buds batted first on Saturday at Olympic Park, however, were bowled out for just 127.

Brad Glenn flew the flag for the Buds with 42, however, he lacked support.

Chamara Perera was at his menacing best for the Cougars with 5/51, while Stuart Swift was also damaging with 3/18.

In reply, Rosebud has hit back, however, the visitors are still in the box seat at 3/46 after batting the last 22 overs of the day.

Skye’s bowlers will need to be at their very best when they take to the field next week against Pearcedale.

Skye batted first on Saturday and were rolled for just 145. Paul Fillipone was the only Burras batsman to have an impact, scoring 52, while Christian Samuel supported him well with 36. At one stage, the Burras were 5/34.

Chris Dew was the pick of the Dales’ bowlers with 4/37, Shayne Gillings claimed 3/29 and Kaine Smith snared 2/32.

In reply, Pearcedale needed to face the last three overs of the day and finished unscathed at 0/3.

Tootgarook has set Frankston YCW 171 for victory in their match at Peninsula Reserve.

Scott Sterling was the top scorer for the Frogs with 69.

In reply, YCW is 2/30.Dromana appears to be in the box seat against

Tyabb.The Hoppers scored 163 before picking up

four Tyabb wickets to have the visitors 4/78.Jack Raeside and Jason Ferns were the pick of

the Yabbies’ bowlers with three wickets each.

Knights could be on for major upset

Strong start: Main Ridge should win its District match against Baden Powell. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

FOOTY NEWSBy Toe PuntSinking SharksBonbeach looks set to lose a heap of players after the new coach was appointed recently.

The Sharks, who lost the grand final in 2013 and finished third in 2014, look likely to lose Paul Rebeschini, Shane McDonald, Shaun Foster, Matt Clifford, Ricky and Jason Ferraro and Anthony Raso in the aftermath of the appointment.

Steve Hughes was announced as the new Sharks, replacing Stevey Capp.

Hughes spent most of his footy life at Noble Park before taking Springvale Districts to two premierships. He has been an assistant at Sandringham Dragons and has also been an AFL

recruiter for Adelaide Crows and Carlton.
