Call for action at creek By Jo Winterbottom THE official celebrations at the completion of the dredging of Mordialloc Creek may have finished but community groups say there is more work to be done to make the creek workable for boaties and sailors. Mordialloc Creek Community, a

coalition of 20 community and commercial groups which use the creek for business and recreation, reckons it could be some time before many boats return to the creek, despite the completion of the dredging to make it navigable in all tides. MCC convener Garry Spencer said a new mooring plan for the creek pro-

duced by Kingston Council was “unworkable�. “It is nothing like world’s best practice,� he said. “The council plan for additional moorings in the lower section of the creek is overambitious. Extra moorings for small boats could be provided upstream of Pompei Bridge.�

“The creek is already very crowded and we have got a very narrow navigable area around the creek,� Mr Spencer said. Kingston mayor Ron Brownlees defended the attempt to fit more boats into the creek, saying there were 250 people on a waiting list for moorings. “Given a large number of mooring

poles require replacement, council has a unique opportunity to consult with creek users about how to reorganise the moorings, which could provide space for additional mooring poles and allow more people in the community to enjoy the use of the creek,� he said. Continued Page 3

Underpass gets dash of colour CHELSEA railway station is awash with colour as gangs of artists complete the transformation of the station with paintings along the underpass. Artist Anu Patel is managing the community art project which aims to improve safety and accessibility as well as the look of the busy station. The painting will be a permanent feature on the station underpass, ramps and fences and is complemented by new garden beds on Station St and Nepean Highway. More than 240 people, including children from St Joseph’s, Chelsea and Bonbeach primary schools, have been involved in the project design and execution. It is expected to be completed in January.

‘Dummy’ candidates a no-brainer for VEC COMMENT By Mike Hast and Jo Winterbottom THE Victorian Electoral Commission has sought comments from voters across the state about the recent council elections. The VEC said its “Call for feedback� would enable it to “improve services and communication for future council elections�. One topic certain to attract comments is so-called “dummy candidates�, people who register as a candidate for no other purpose than to poll low, do little or no campaigning, be excluded from the count early and pass their votes to another candidate. A key marker of a dummy candidate is someone who provides no contact details to the VEC, which publishes a list of candidates and their details. As yet there is no law stopping dummy candidates from nominating for elections as authorities claim it is difficult to tell who is a dummy, but it is blatantly obvious to many voters and people interested in elections. A starting point for the VEC should be to require all candidates to provide at least a contact phone number. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s election appeared to have few dummies. Only one of the 43 candidates did not provide a contact phone number, John Woodman, the head of Mornington-based Watsons Pty Ltd. Mr Woodman – who describes himself as a consultant to the land development industry and an urban planner gave his second preferences to Briars Ward candidate Anne Shaw, who was first of the three elected, ahead of Bev Colomb and Andrew Dixon. Mr Woodman polled 1720 votes, 6 per cent of the total. Frankston Council’s election also appeared to have few dummies, but in neighbouring Kingston and Casey, there were more dummies than at a day care centre. Among the 28 candidates nominating for three seats in Kingston’s hotlycontested Central Ward were seven who provided neither phone number nor email address, including Amelia Honan, who polled the third highest number of first votes (1623). Ms Honan, who in her candidate statement described herself as “an 18-yearold with a modernised mind filled with fresh and realistic ideas�, directed her preferences to Rick Terry and Geoff Gledhill, a Liberal Party member who was the first successful candidate in Central Ward.

Of the other Central Ward candidates who provided no details, five of them - Paul Hardman, Phil Emelhain, Sarah Neilson, Kon Moisidis and Brian Wright – directed their preferences to Mr Terry and Cr Gledhill. All of them put Cr Rosemary West last at 28, with the exception of Mr Wright, who placed her at 27. In Casey, 17 of 85 candidates provided no contact details, with five providing wrong phone numbers. In Casey’s Springfield Ward, one of the three councillors elected, Jo Wass, declined to take up her position, citing illness in the family. Ms Wass had given her second preferences to veteran ALP identity Bob Halsall, who now looks likely to take the seat after a recount is held. Victoria’s electoral system encourages the use of dummy candidates Of the 78 councils having elections, 70 had a postal voting system, including all the above-named municipalities. All candidates had to do was provide the VEC with a 150-word statement and a black and white photo. There was no requirement to campaign, meet voters or have helpers at polling booths. Many voters say they should not have to make a choice based on such a limited amount of information about candidates. Other concerns likely to be sent to the VEC include: ď Žď€ There is no compulsion for candidates to state if they are members of a political party or if they live in the ward. ď Žď€ Voters do not know who is supporting candidates financially. Donation disclosure laws require candidates to tell who funded their campaigns after the poll. ď Žď€ The cost of running for council in large multi-councillor wards is prohibitive. In late September, soon after nominations closed for the 27 October council elections in Victoria, it was reported the Local Government Inspectorate would crack down on dummy candidates. Chief inspector David Wolf said the inspectorate would undertake an audit program to test legitimacy of candidates. The inspectorate was set up after council elections in 2008 when Victoria was plagued with reports of dummy candidates. It will be interesting to see how the inspectorate deals with feedback received by the VEC and complaints made directly to the Minister for Local Government, Jeanette Powell. In many cases, this year’s elections were blighted by more problems than in 2008.

Inspired life: Julie Miles, left, and son Miles with Mariana Matheze amid handmade bounty in their Chelsea studio. Picture: Yanni.

Crafty duo market art UNIQUE, handmade and local are the standards which draw thousands to the Kingston Night Art Market in the run up to Christmas each year. Dozens of artists and artisans will again sell their wares at the annual market on Saturday 1 December at Kingston Arts Centre. Among them will be Julie Miles and Mariana Matheze, the crafty pair who run The Studio in Chelsea, a tiny shop front for the unique creations of more than 20 Melbourne artists and artisans. The air of inspiration is palpable in the sunny studio at the rear of the shop on Nepean Highway, opposite Chelsea railway station. It is here, among a cornucopia of hand-printed fabrics, buttons, ribbons and threads that Julie and Mariana fashion their creations. Julie specialises in screen-printed fabrics, while Mariana designs and sews children’s clothing. The work of other artists featured in the shop includes paintings, photographs, jewellery, clothing and home wares. There are handmade shoes

and cushions, quirky stuffed toys and hand-printed stationery. For Julie and Mariana, it is about scratching the creative itch and sharing their love of handmade, one-off artefacts. They snatch creative moments amongst the bustle of family life with young children and make a living using their hands and imagination. The Night Art Market will feature 60 stalls offering paintings, ceramics, fashion, photography, stationery, jewellery, cushions, blankets, books, hats, furniture, collectibles and toys. To complete the night out for the family, there will also be food stalls, beer from Moorabbin brewery 2 Brothers and live music from Penny Larkins and Carl Pannuzzo, Lucy Wise and Mischa Herman and KAZBAND. There will be roving performers, face painting and art workshops for children and adults. The Night Art Market is on from 4pm-10pm on Saturday 1 December at Kingston Arts Centre, 979 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin. Entry is free and sales are by cash only.

Creek: more action needed Continued from Page 1 Mr Spencer also questioned the timing of the draft plan, which was released for comment after the dredging was completed last month. Boat owners who had removed their vessels from the creek to allow for the dredging were still incurring expenses at other mooring sites while they waited for the mooring plan to be finalised before poles and other infrastructure could be installed or repaired. “People have gone to a lot of trouble

PENINSULA FIREPLACE CENTRE HUGE SAVINGS ON GASLOG FIRES

to allow the dredging to happen and now it is time to get the boats back,� Mr Spencer said. “The mooring plan should have been done six months ago. The longer the boats are out of the creek, the more revenue the council is losing.� Cr Ron Brownlees responded, saying: “The full extent of mooring issues could not be known or assessed until after the dredging project was completed.� Mr Spencer applauded the dredging

of Mordialloc creek but said MCC was concerned there was no plan for maintenance dredging. “We are pushing for dredging of the channels every three years,� he said. “Mordialloc Creek is a fantastic asset, let’s manage it properly.� Kingston CEO John Nevins said the council was developing a management plan for the creek in consultation with Melbourne Water, Parks Victoria and the Department of Sustainability and Environment.

Boy found POLICE have reminded parents to keep a close eye on children while at the beach after a six-year-old boy went missing in Edithvale. Lifesavers at Edithvale Life Saving Club alerted Chelsea police when the boy was reported missing by his parents about 4.30pm on Saturday 24 November. Police and lifesavers conducted an extensive search of the beach and foreshore before he was found in a beach buggy outside Chelsea Life Saving Club, almost two kilometres south of where he was reported missing. The police air wing took part in the search and a crew from Chelsea SES was on its way to assist when the boy was found. “We always take it very seriously when a child goes missing at the beach,” said Acting Sergeant Steven Finkelde.

“With summer starting, it’s a good reminder to parents to be vigilant with children on the beach; they can disappear very quickly.”

Drugs charges TWO men have been charged with drug trafficking offences after Chelsea police allegedly found large quantities of drugs in their car. Acting Sergeant Steven Finkelde said police would allege the men, both aged in their 20s, one from Selby in the Dandenong Ranges and one from Boronia in Melbourne’s outer east, were in possession of 1500 amphetamine tablets, an amount of cannabis, and drug paraphernalia when they were stopped by police in Station St, Chelsea on the afternoon of Saturday 17 November. The men were bailed to appear in Ringwood Magistrates’ Court in February.

Women of honour MORDIALLOC MP Lorraine Wreford has called for Kingston residents to nominate local women for the Victorian Honour Roll of Women, which acknowledges Victorian women who have made a lasting impact on the community through their vision, leadership, commitment and hard work. “If you know of a woman who has been instrumental in making a difference in their community or field of endeavour, then nominating them is a great way to recognise their contributions,” Ms Wreford said. Twenty new names will be added to the roll on International Women’s Day in March 2013, joining almost 500 women who have been named on the roll since it began in 2001. Application forms and guidelines can be found at www.dhs.vic. gov.au/womenshonourroll. Nominations are open until Friday 7 December.

Premier trip caps creek dredging PREMIER Ted Baillieu took a trip up the creek with a paddle to inspect the dredging of Mordialloc Creek. Liberal MPs Donna Bauer and Lorraine Wreford joined the Premier in a tinny in a tightly-managed visit on Saturday 17 November. Mr Baillieu also met with members of community groups which use the creek, including Mordialloc Sea Scouts and Mordialloc Creek Community. The $8 million dredging works, including sheet piles and jetty works

at Lambert Island, were managed by Kingston Council, which contributed $2 million of the cost; the remaining $6 million was provided by the state government. In all, 22,000 tonnes of silt and debris was dredged from the creek to create a channel that is navigable at low tide. Mr Baillieu said the government had made good on its 2010 election promise to clean up the creek. “Some said we’d never do it. We’ve done it,” he said.

Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said Mordialloc Creek was the “centrepiece for the community”. “The community deserved better than seeing boats stuck in mud thanks to years of neglect,” she said. Carrum MP Donna Bauer pointed out the importance of the creek to a wider community of boaties across Melbourne. Mordialloc Creek was dredged from its mouth to the boat ramp off Governor Rd, the first major dredging of the creek since 1997.

the Bauer Brief

Circus goes on the road FRANKSTON’S Hip Cat Circus is taking to the streets. A van provided by a Frankston Arts Centre project partner is now painted with colourful circus performers and Hip Cat contact details. The promotional van is driven for Programmed Facility Management by Stuart Petrie. The company is contracted by the City of Frankston to provide cleaning, building maintenance, pest control and air-conditioning services. Through the arts centre it also has sponsored a school holiday project and the RecycleRecreate-Reengage program that connects families through the arts using recycled materials. “We are very proud of the partnership and the opportunity that the circus gives the young people of Frankston to develop skills, self-esteem and confidence,” PFM’s regional manager Nick Higgins said. “With the upgrading of our fleet, we wrapped one of the new cars to celebrate and promote the great work of Hip Cat Circus.” The circus gives young people aged 5 to 21 an opportunity – through circus training with professional trainers – to learn about safety, stagecraft, acting, leadership and management skills. The troupe develops an annual performance and is available for hire for family and corporate entertainment, parties, workshops and schools. A scholarship program also allows disadvantaged young people to participate.

The Victorian Coalition Government has allocated $1.5 million towards construction of the new Edithvale Integrated Children’s Centre and $300,000 towards the expansion of Patterson Lakes Kindergarten, to be built in partnership with the City of Kingston. I welcome both significant grants and the commitment to early childhood education. The Edithvale Integrated Children’s Centre will expand community based long day care places, provide a new double unit kindergarten (33 and 22 places), dual consulting rooms for Maternal and Child Health and allied health services, and community rooms. Patterson Lakes Kindergarten will redevelop their existing site to deliver a Children and Family Centre that comprises two kindergarten playrooms licensed for 27 and 22 places, activity space, community meeting rooms, an office and a waiting area. I was pleased to welcome the Premier, Ted Baillieu to Mordialloc Creek last week to celebrate the completion of the creek’s dredging. The Victorian Coalition Government contributed $6 million to dredge the creek, in conjunction with $1 million from the City of Kingston. The creek has been dredged from the mouth of Mordialloc Creek to the Governor Road Boat Ramp and around Lambert Island, allowing for 20,000 tonnes of silt to be removed, which has made the creek 1.5 to 2 meters deeper. I’m proud to be a part of a government that has delivered such a significant project. Mordialloc Creek is enjoyed not only by the local community but also wider Melbourne and it has now been transformed back to pristine condition, just in time for the busy summer boating and snapper season. This month in Parliament saw new marine and alcohol drug laws come in to effect. Boating plays an important role in the lives of many in our community, and this new legislation will make the waterways safer for all Victorians who are out on the water. The new laws will combat vessel-related fatalities and injuries on our waters by aligning marine drug and alcohol standards with those in the road transport and rail sectors. New laws will see the use of drugs banned by all vessel operators on Victorian waterways. A zero blood alcohol content (BAC) will apply to all commercial and government vessel operators. Similar to traffic laws, a zero BAC will apply to recreational vessel operators under 21 years of age, with a maximum BAC of 0.05 for recreational vessel operators who are 21 years of age or older. I’m interested in hearing your ideas and views. Please email me at donna.bauer@parliament.vic. gov.au or call my office on 9772 4544.

Thar they blow: Dolphin Research Institute’s Sue Mason, right, can recognise “her� dolphins by the shape of their fins.

‘Lucky’ researcher knows her dolphins By Keith Platt SUE Mason counts herself as a “lucky researcher�. The common dolphins she studies live in a relatively small, defined area of Port Phillip while other researchers must ply the oceans tracking super pods of the same species. No one knows when the short-beaked common dolphins called Port Phillip home, but ongoing studies by Ms Mason and the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute have shown that at least one female is already a grandmother. Ms Mason is regularly seen zigzagging in the institute’s boat within sight

of the shore between Safety Beach and Chelsea to find the dolphin pod. She photographs them constantly and knows each of the 15 dolphins by sight. The institute and Ms Mason also keep track of Port Phillip’s estimated 120 resident bottlenose dolphins and another five that seem to have taken up residence in Western Port. To make identification easy, Ms Mason names the dolphins from marks on their dorsal fin, such as Top Notch, Square Notch, Tall Fin and Almost Clean Fin. Aerial and Esther (who appears to perform on cue for the camera) are another two well-known members of the pod.

Ms Mason told a meeting in Frankston to celebrate the institute’s 21st anniversary that the welfare of the dolphins could be gauged by the condition of their skin. Scars on the fin of Aerial’s calf showed it had been hit by a boat’s propeller; seven years later that same calf had become a mother. Early in 2011 Ms Mason became concerned when photographs showed severe skin lesions on two dolphins. “We saw dolphins with a lot of spots, but we now know that can be quite normal,� she said. “They can occur because of environmental changes and the ending of the

drought could have been one of the reasons.� The Department of Sustainability and Environment provided money for extra research and Ms Mason noted the lesions seen on Round Notch on 1 September had almost gone by the following month. “The dolphins are not dying; they get a few spots, but heal up. There is no behavioural change.� Ms Mason estimated that lesions on dolphins healed “300 times faster than they do on humans�. The lesions on dolphins presented no danger to humans swimming in the same water.

Ms Mason, who has just completed her PhD in ecology and acoustics at Curtin University, Western Australia, also keeps an eye out for the increasing number of whales entering Port Phillip. Having annually gone to Hawaii for eight years to “work on� humpbacks, she also has a photographic record of the flukes of whales in Port Phillip. “One humpback stayed 10 days and I occasionally see southern rights [whales],� she said. “I’m the lucky one [at the dolphin research centre] who gets to go out in boats.�

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 28 November 2012

KINGSTON City historian Dr Graham Whitehead has written and compiled a book on the history of Cheltenham. The book, Two Acre Village: a Cheltenham history, takes its name from the first subdivision of land in Cheltenham in 1852. The selection of stories in the book were previously available to read on the Kingston historical website but some residents suggested a hardcopy book on Cheltenham was necessary as not all people are comfortable accessing information on a computer. “The stories tell of the steps taken by local people to entertain themselves, earn a living and provide opportunities for their children. They also explain how they overcame difficulties, and remind us of how things have changed. The Cheltenham community felt the impact of major wars and saw the development of institutions to care

for the young, the aged and the wayward. Like today, larrikinism and murder was present back then,� Dr Whitehead said. Arranged in chronological order, the stories start with Josiah Holloway’s purchase of 625 acres which he subdivided and called Two Acre Village in 1852 and conclude with the extension of Westfield across Nepean Highway in 1992. Between these two dates are stories about bushrangers causing havoc, men going off to war, arguments about the playing of sport on a Sunday, and a clash of opinions about standards at Cheltenham State School. All these stories, along with 182 photographs, help understand the way things were and the way they influence the present. Copies of the book are available for purchase at Kingston libraries for $25. Call 1300 135 668 for further details.

Healthy Living

Choose your body By Lauren Ostrowski Fenton WHAT if you could choose your body at almost any age? You can, but there is a catch. It requires accepting we only have control over our own thoughts and behaviour and not over the thoughts and behaviour of others. Choosing your body requires taking responsibility for your current circumstances, decisions and goals. Choosing your body also requires an acceptance of the motto “Life is sometimes unfair – build a bridge and get over it”. We are not a fragile reed buffeted by the winds of life. We have choices. We can create our life. So why not choose your body? Choosing your body means:  Realising diets don’t work: eat well consistently each day instead.  Having a healthy spirit to accompany your

healthy body. Meditation and some kind of spiritual belief are vital.  Not allowing yourself to be a victim. Don’t blame others for your present circumstances: take responsibility. Change your behaviour and not someone else’s behaviour.  Managing your time effectively. Keep a journal of your journey to body change using realistic time frames.  Hanging out with others who choose to live a healthy life. Remember: birds of a feather flock together so don’t choose to be with people who weigh you down.  Following a gratitude ritual: feeling gratitude is an essential part of health and wellbeing. To achieve your body goals ensure you are always grateful for what you have in the here and now. Take control of your behaviour and change your body today. www.laurenostrowskifenton.com

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the superb kitchen with striking benchtops of black granite and quality appliances such as St George and Asko. A versatile casual meals area is adjacent to the kitchen and provides excellent options for indoor or outdoor dining, for just a few steps away is a large, undercover alfresco area that overlooks the landscaped rear garden.

Push for hospital expansion to include nature reserve By Mike Hast A NEW nature reserve should be part of plans to expand Peninsula Private Hospital, says Defenders of the South East Green Wedge. The hospital – owned by Australian Unity Healthcare Property Trust and operated by Ramsay Health Care – wants the state government to rezone green wedge land to make way for stage one of a $25 million redevelopment, which will more than double its size. The first stage includes an intensive care unit, overnight and day surgery beds, operating theatres, an allied health centre, consulting rooms and car parking. Defenders secretary Barry Ross said the hospital should show it is a good corporate cititzen by allowing a section of its land on McClelland Dve not being used for the expansion to become a park as an offset for building on the green wedge. The hospital also should “chip in and help buy the block next door” owned by Hasstta Holdings to create a nature reserve adjoining Frankston Council’s Pobblebonk Wetland Reserve. “If this land can be purchased, it could help create a splendid reserve comprising three blocks,” he said. “There are precedents for such a move including the Burdetts subdivision opposite Pobblebonk and Waterways Estate off Springvale Rd in Braeside, both of which included reserves.

Expansion: Peninsula Private Hospital is seeking rezoning of green wedge land to double its size in a $25 million redevelopment. Picture: Yanni

“If you want to build on green wedge land, you should put some back.” A process known as vegetation offsets requires developers to replace land used with areas of similar ecological quality. It is not always enforced by the state government, but builders of EastLink tollway and the under-construction Peninsula Link freeway were required to find and pay for the upkeep of offsets. The master plan for the hospital expansion is being exhibited by Frankston Council and is open for public

comment until 7 December. An earlier attempt to get state Planning Minister Matthew Guy to declare the hospital expansion land as a so-called green wedge anomaly was unsuccessful and the hospital is now seeking a planning amendment to change the zoning. It wants 525, 555 and 559 McClelland Dve rezoned from Rural Conservation Zone and Road Zone Category to Special Use Zone so it can build. The proposal, including public comments, will go to Frankston Council in early 2013.

Significant public interest would see the council ask the government for an independent planning panel to consider the matter. The panel’s findings then go to the council, which submits it to Mr Guy for a decision. Chris Smith of Australian Unity Investments said the hospital needed to expand to meet “long-term growing demand in the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding areas for additional and specialist healthcare services”. There had been a number of studies showing growing demand for health-

10%-50%

care services in the region. “Our plans are aimed at helping meet the growing healthcare needs of the local community and alleviate pressure on the region’s public hospitals.” The new intensive care unit was particularly important. Consultants working for the hospital said an extra 570 private hospital beds were needed in the region, “but only 449 are currently available”. Mr Smith said the hospital, which Australian Unity Investments bought in 2006, “performs an important role as the largest private hospital within the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region”. The report states 94 per cent of hospital patients come from the municipalities of Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Casey and Kingston. Peninsula Private was investigated by Frankston Council last year for clearing native vegetation at 555 McClelland Dve in the green wedge zone. In October, the council said it would not fine the hospital over the clearing. Then CEO George Modrich said: “After a thorough investigation, council has issued a warning notice which states vegetation removal is not to occur without prior approval from council. Council is satisfied no penalty is warranted regarding the recent clearing on this site.”

Whips are worth keeping Gold-plated gift a bonus for winning Cup jockeys By Keith Platt THERE is a good chance that over the past 22 years Brian Hartung has met more Melbourne Cup-winning jockeys than anybody else. While most attention is focused on the winning horse, the cup presentation, owners and prizemoney, Mr Hartung each year presents a gold-plated whip to the jockey who is first past the post. The whips have become sought-after racing memorabilia, with one used by Phar Lap’s jockey Jim Pike in the 1930 Cup being auctioned in 2000 for $36,000. Another was due to go on the auction block this month with an estimated price of $10,000-$15,000. The Wirths Whip is handed over the day after the Cup, in recent years at a ceremony held at Crown Casino. Last year’s winner, French jockey Christophe Lemaire, who rode Dunaden, flew out of Australia straight after the race and was handed his Wirths Whip in Mumbai, India, during a Super Trade Mission to the subcontinent led by Premier Ted Baillieu. Victoria Racing Club vice-president Amanda Elliott, who was part of the trade delegation, made the belated presentation. This year’s winner Brett Prebble rode the Lloyd Williams-owned stallion Green Moon to victory. Also an import for the race from Hong Kong, Prebble was able to put off his overseas commitments long enough to accept the whip from Mr Hartung.

“We only spoke for about two seconds, but he wanted to know who made the whip,” Mr Hartung said the following day while sitting in his Shoreham house. Prebble makes whips for other jockeys and, like the previous Wirths Whip maker the late Peter Bakos, sees the trade as something to continue doing after life in the saddle. Mr Hartung has been paying for the production of the Wirths Whip since 1990. Research has revealed the tradition was started in 1888 by Royal Mail Hotel publican Paddy Reynolds, 27 years after the first Melbourne Cup. By 1896 the tradition had been taken up by Wirths Circus. The whip was presented during a performance of the circus held annually on the night of the Cup. “People would pre-book seats at the circus because the event was such a big part of the night,” Mr Hartung said. Wirths brought down their big top for the final time in 1963, but the family kept on paying for the whip and having it presented to the winning jockey. “The circus dropped off the radar, but presentation happened in various places, including at the Southern Cross Hotel and on Graham Kennedy’s IMT show,” Mr Hartung said. As business manager of the Victorian Arts Centre in 1989, Mr Hartung put forward a proposal that the centre take over the Wirths Whip, running it in conjunction with the Cup.

The arts centre owned “a lot of Wirths Circus memorabilia”, so Mr Hartung recommended decking out the Great Hall in a circus theme as well as “sending three young people overseas each year to get work experience in racing, the circus and the arts”. “It was all costed out, but the trust knocked it back,” he said. “I was pretty upset, so my wife Maureen and I decided we’d do it [produce the Wirths Whip] for a short time. It’s 20 plus years since then.” Mr Hartung, now 73, wants “someone else to drive”, but is wary of the whip being turned into a commercial proposition. The name Wirths Whip is a registered trademark and a website is under construction. Mr Hartung would hate to see a business name added to the title. He will not reveal how much he pays silver and goldsmith Terry County to mould and make each whip and says that he and his wife “just wanted to see tradition preserved”. Mr County makes the Geelong Cup and is contracted by Tennis Australia to make trophies for the Australian Open. Although through the Wirths Whip he is on first-name terms with many of Australia’s leading jockeys and racing identities, Mr Hartung rarely has a bet. “I didn’t bet this year. I just enjoy the spectacle and seeing friends,” he said. “I’ve probably been to 30 Cups, but would be lucky to have seen 15.”

Wall goes up WORK is progressing on the gabion wall to stabilise the cliff above Nepean Highway near Olivers Hill in Frankston. Contractors working for VicRoads erected a temporary structure of steel posts and wooden planks to protect workers from possible falling debris and to provide anchorage points for men working at heights. The gabion wall is made of stacked, stone-filled baskets tied together with wire. Lighter material is being used to backfill the wall, which collapsed on Thursday 19 April before it could be finished. VicRoads decided to build the wall

to stem erosion of the cliff face, which had been monitored by a resident whose house was built close to the cliff edge. The erosion has now gone inland beyond the boundary between the VicRoads land and private property. Properties on the cliff have lost up to three metres of land in the past five years. The area near the foot of Olivers Hill was once part of Frankston Brickworks and backfilled before being opened up for residential development. Houses on the steep land have to comply with strict building regulations that include concrete foundations up to 15 metres deep.

Rocks roll in: The gabion wall to stabilise the cliff above the Nepean Highway at Frankston is expected to be completed in February. Picture: Yanni

Frankston back on marina money trail By Keith Platt FRANKSTON Council is about to again embark on a search for investors in the $300 million marina earmarked for development between Olivers Hill and Daveys Bay. Impetus for reviving the search abandoned in 2010 follows advice from council’s investment attraction facilitator Jason Sharp that Tourism Victoria’s offer to help finance the retendering the project runs out at the end of the 2012/13 financial year. Mr Sharp’s report on this week’s council agenda says that despite abandoning the tender process in 2010,

PAGE 20

council officers continued working to gain extra time for the marina from Planning Minister Matthew Guy. “The Cultural Heritage Management Plan has also been completed with a preliminary Indigenous Land Use Agreement negotiated in principal,” Mr Sharp said. Mr Sharp has been at the forefront of efforts to attract investment to Frankston and in September accompanied the then mayor Cr Brian Cunial to China as part of a state government Super Trade Mission. The trip had seen Frankston “rejuvenated” as an “investment destina-

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 28 November 2012

tion” with “a number of investors” making contact to further discuss the marina. In his report on the 26 November agenda Mr Sharp said lack of response by potential investors saw the marina project put on ice. He now wanted officers given the go ahead to “explore and promote the project without prejudice or commitment”. “Mitigating the risks of the project for both council and potential developers was a key learning from the first tender process,” Mr Sharp said. “One of the outstanding risks is the land

use agreement. Utilising council’s relationship with the Indigenous landowners, a process has been entered into to deliver an agreement on behalf of any future developer. This process is almost complete.” Mr Sharp, while explaining that council faced a $1.5-$2 million budget shortfall, said an extra $5000 was needed to cover the costs of finalising the Indigenous Land Use Agreement. Meanwhile, Frankston Beach Association sees the marina as an “ominous threat” to nearby beaches and a potential cause of bankruptcy of developers.

“It is difficult to understand that with so much scientific and engineering evidence to indicate such a marina will result in the total erosion and destruction of the town beach, and Davey’s Bay silting up, that Frankston Council is continuing to pursue a policy for this project to proceed,” the FBA’s spring newsletter states. “It is difficult to understand that when council’s financial advisers state that a 15 hectare marina will not be financially viable, council should advocate building a larger 22 hectare marina, with no evidence to show that the larger marina will be financially viable.”

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance WITH his shaggy blond hair, satin pants and shirt open to the waist, strutting and prancing on stage, Rod Stewart was the quintessence of a rock star in concert in the late 1960s. More than 40 years later, nothing has changed although the satin pants have been replaced by denim jeans. Although he claims to be from Scotland, Stewart was born and bred in North London and attended the same school as The Kinks singer Ray Davies. Long John Baldry discovered Stewart and hired him in 1965 for his band. By 1968 Stewart had joined the Jeff Beck Group. Stewart and guitarist Ron Wood became best friends. Wood went on to play guitar with the Small Faces. When singer Steve Marriott left, Stewart joined the band as lead singer. The band dropped the “Small” and became The Faces. The song Maggie May made Rod Stewart’s career, sweeping out of the blue to the top of the singles charts in 1971. The single set the tone for other hit singles including Stay with Me and You Wear it Well. The tracks came from his successful albums Every Picture Tells a Story and Never a Dull Moment. Stewart continued to dominate the charts throughout the late 1970s with hits like Tonight’s the Night, The First Cut is the Deepest, The Killing of Georgie, You’re in My Heart, Do Ya Think I’m Sexy and others. This year Stewart signed a recording deal with Verve Music Group (Universal) that included recording his first-ever Christmas album, Merry Christmas, Baby featuring guests Michael Bublé, Mary J Blige, Cee-lo Green and a duet with Ella Fitzgerald. “I have always been tempted to do a

Christmas album. And now that I once again have young children, the timing couldn’t be better,” Stewart said. “Recording the album gave me a chance to reunite with David Foster.” Merry Christmas, Baby is an album of standards and traditional songs. Stewart is joined by Michael Bublé on Winter Wonderland. We Three Kings is a duet with Mary J Blige and the title tune is a duet with Cee-Lo Green featuring New Orleans’ favourite son Trombone Shorty. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! features Dave Koz on saxophone and What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? is a “virtual” duet with Ella

Fitzgerald and featuring Chris Botti. The album’s one original track, RedSuited Super Man, is composed by Rod Stewart, David Foster and Amy Foster and features Trombone Shorty. www.rodstewart.com *** ON 3 December, Australia’s legendary and iconic band The Seekers celebrates its golden jubilee, exactly 50 years to the day since the four original members performed together as a group. Melbourne trad jazz singer Judy Durham started a new job at J Walter Thompson advertising agency in Melbourne and met account executive Athol

Guy, another musician. He invited Durham to sit in with his mates Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley, who performed together as The Seekers in a little Melbourne coffee lounge called Treble Clef. Fifty years on, The Seekers are still touching the hearts and souls of fans – some who’ve been with them from the very start. A golden jubilee is an extraordinary milestone, especially when The Seekers are still performing and recording in their original lineup. To celebrate the occasion, Judith and “the boys” slipped quietly into the studio mid-2012 to record two new tracks, which open the 50 tracks for 50 years Golden Jubilee Album. The two-CD album was released on 16 November and on 4 December, The Seekers celebrate the milestone in hometown Melbourne where the band was presented with a key to the city in 2006. www.theseekers50th.com www.theinsoundfromwayout.com *** THE musical based on the life story of singing sensation Susan Boyle, starring UK actress Elaine C Smith in the title role, runs for a limited season next year in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre, and tickets are now on sale. Susan Boyle said: “I am thrilled Australian audiences will have the opportunity to see the incredibly talented Elaine C Smith in Ed Curtis’s amazing production of my official story. “This has been an incredible ride and I hope to have the opportunity to visit Australia again when the production opens in Melbourne in May 2013.”

By Gary Turner The musical tells the story of Boyle’s life, from her birth and the hand that fate dealt her up to the present day. She was born into a large, workingclass family, and shared a three-bedroom council house with 10 family members. Boyle became a global star and an inspiration to millions, a woman who beat the odds and changed the way the world looked at people.

... and other short stories

Early tale of a Christmas turkey By Stuart McCullough SATURDAY 17 November was the auspicious day I encountered my first Christmas carol for the year. I had made a dash to the local supermarket and was engaged in the eternal struggle of “white bread or multigrain” when I heard the mordent tones of Joy to the World wafting through the aisles like a giant dose of audio flatulence. Christmas may well come but once a year, but apparently no such restriction applies to Christmas carols. Don’t get me wrong; I love Christmas. I especially love Christmas at Christmas time, rather than midway through November. It wasn’t always this way. There were years in my early 20s when I regarded the entire yuletide experience as an inconvenience and an unwelcome disruption to work. On the day itself, I was very disorganised. If I’m being honest, the gifts I purchased for family members were only a notch or two above a lump of coal. It is enough to say that my sisters received a lifetime’s supply of potpourri during this period. Scented candles, vouchers and – on one particularly desperate occasion – a chicken torpedo from the 7-Eleven; I was guilty of all this and more. A friend of mine quite rightly told me I was a Grinch. This was probably the kindest description for in truth, when it came to Christmas, I was a turkey. Once there was a time when I took the TAC advertisements very much to heart and quit driving. Getting to Ty-

PAGE 22

abb on Christmas Day was an ordeal of such blistering magnitude that it made The Amazing Race look like a quick trip to the shops. The funny thing about catching public transport on Christmas Day is you know all your fellow passengers are in the exact same position. Everyone is expected somewhere. We all had people waiting for us. In an odd way, knowing this gave the entire trip a slightly melancholy feeling. Or maybe I just knew I was bringing poor gifts. Christmas changed for our family when one of my sisters had a baby. Seeing the enthusiasm that Brodie had for the whole spectacle fundamentally changed my view. It made me think

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 28 November 2012

back to my own childhood, when Christmas morning was all about a series of early excursions down the hallway to conduct reconnaissance as to what lay underneath the tree. As there were five of us, it was a duty that we shared, eagerly reporting back to our siblings. It was quite magical. As various nephews and nieces continued to materialise, this began a period best described as the “overcompensating” years. Where once I treated preparations for the big day with all the enthusiasm of a dental appointment, I then went as far as possible in the opposite direction. Forget 17 November; my preparations started in August. I planned

Christmas Day with all the care of a military incursion. I would develop themes for each year and place the gifts in matching boxes. The results were stunning. When lined up, the gifts looked like the Chinese army on parade. But the family kept on getting bigger. Where once we could easily fit around the family table, there were now rows of trestle and card tables. It’s one step short of stadium seating. There were children everywhere. To see them stare in open wonder at the tree and the gifts that lie like fruit beneath it is to be reminded of what it is to be young. In fact, the numbers are so great that we now run a Kris Kring-

le system. Come August, it means that instead of preparing for Christmas, I now twiddle my thumbs. Perhaps this explains my reaction to hearing Joy to the World at the supermarket. I’m just not ready. To hear Christmas carols at this time doesn’t feel like a celebration so much as an attempt to convince me. The song may well speak of joy and delight, but what it’s really saying is Pull yourself together! It’s time to start shopping for Christmas. While some people might reject such blatant Pavlovian conditioning like a bad tenant, I am unable to resist. These days, I no longer celebrate Christmas once but on at least four occasions in as many locations. Maybe the supermarket is right and I really ought to start in November so that the whole thing feels less hectic. For this reason, I have stocked up on crackers, mince pies, candy canes and shortbread. In a case of what I fear is going way, way too early, I’ve also bought a bucket of prawns. I’m not sure how good they’ll be by 25 December though. I realise that there is such a thing as green prawns, but I doubt that they’re meant to be quite so luminously green or, for that matter, furry. In the end, perhaps it matters little. As I sit here, paper hat on my head and cracker at the ready, it occurs to me family is all that really matters on such a day. And no one, not even a supermarket, can convince me otherwise. www.stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Carrum’s bowlers put YCW to sword as Pines set Baden Powell a task DISTRICT By IT Gully CARRUM will be looking to go for the jugular of Frankston YCW on day two of its round five match in MPCA District cricket. The Stonecats have been competitive this season, but were dismissed for just 69 on Saturday against a side that is expected to feature prominently at the pointy end of the season. Carrum’s bowlers were superb, Cory Foster the pick with 4/31 from nine overs. Lachy Dobson was also on fire, bowling 4.1 overs and finishing with the flattering figures of 3/7. Jackson Fry also opened the bowling for the Lions and snared 3/24 from 11 overs. Seventeen-year-old Jack Greenwood was the best of the YCW batsmen with 21, and only two others made it into double figures. The Stonecats were rolled in the 31st over. Shaun Foster then came in and blasted a quickfire 50, while Liam Hulett hit 26 to help Carrum to 6/150 in just 37 overs. Keen to have one last dip at the Stonecats before stumps, the Lions were able to pick up a wicket in the final six overs of the day. YCW will resume on 1/18, still 63 runs short of Carrum’s first innings score. Pines bounced back with a solid batting performance against Baden Powell, managing 8/241. Harley Peace-Sterling hit an unbeaten 70 for the Piners, while Harley Parker was next best with 33. Brett Hudgson and Brett Remy chipped in with 30s to help the score well past 200.

Anjula Perera was the pick of the Braves’ bowlers with 4/73, while fellow tweaker John Harrison snared 2/83. Delacombe Park is in a lot of strife against Boneo. Batting first, the Parkers were rolled for just 129 on their home deck. Chris Williams was sensational for the visitors, claiming 4/41, while Ryan Jellie chipped in with 2/8. Simon Dignan was left stranded at the end of the innings, unbeaten on 34. In reply, Boneo is 1/49 and on target to win a big match. Flinders has Main Ridge in all sorts of trouble at the end of the first day in the twoday match. The home side made 211, Tim Clarke again dominant with the bat with 79. Dwayne Field compiled 45 and Matty Burns 29. Gareth Wyatt was the best of the Main Ridge bowlers with 2/30. Brendan Rossborough, Jason Albress and Brian Jones picked up two wickets each. Field then went about doing some damage with the ball for the Sharks, snaring the first three wickets to have the visitors in trouble at 3/20 at stumps. Field has 3/17. In the final game, Somerville and Langwarrin are poised to fight it down to the wire. The Eagles batted first and with Keith Burdett (66) and Sam Delaney (40) flying the flag, were able to score a more than competitive 216. Dwayne Doig continued his outstanding season for the Kangas with 4/39, and Mal Coutts and Jarryd Amalfi snared two wickets each. In reply, Langwarrin is 0/12.

Quite the dig: Luke Hewitt scored an impressive 26 runs off just 6 scoring shots as Hastings scored an impressive 345 against Seaford. Picture: Andrew Hurst

‘Think’ like a fish if you want to catch one ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro TO understand fishing, first understand the weather and the patterns and cycles that dictate our climate. Fish are creatures of instinct, they follow the lunar cycle and their mood is dictated by the prevailing conditions and pressure systems. While humans may not be as affected by the weather as fish, we must understand that in the aquatic world 10 metres down is the same as human climbing to 3000 metres. Water has a much higher density that air so temperature changes are more notable as different fish have different comfort levels. While trying to decipher this intricate piscatorial code can take years, anglers can start to break the code by keeping a fishing diary noting date, location, species, bait, water temperature, barometer reading, depth, moon, tide and time fished. Over time you will notice the fish you’re targeting are following patterns in weather and lunar cycles. But remember, fish can be completely predictable or totally unpredictable Where they’re biting James Rodgers of Unreel Fishing Charters (0416 139 814) reports “Port Phillip snapper have been the talk of the town and finally we have reached that magic 17 degrees, which seems to trigger very hungry snapper everywhere”.

“This also triggers the time where the middle of the day and the afternoon bite become very good. This has been evident as many friends and associates have been bagging out in record time every afternoon over the past week. “We have had an amazing stretch of bag out charters. There is nothing quite like the mayhem of having every rod in the boat hooked up at the same time and having big snapper coming in right, left and centre. “Last week areas that seemed to hold the most snapper were from Black Rock to Brighton in 12-16 metres and from Chelsea to Seaford in the same depths with Chelsea, Carrum and Seaford in 15 metres being the go-to areas. “I think this will continue for some time and these areas have held fish in numbers not seen in my life “Of course there are still plenty of snapper in other areas and Frankston to Mornington in 18-19 metres has been quite good. Best baits have been without a doubt humble pilchards with silver whiting and red rockets also good. “Best times have been first light or mid- to late afternoon from around 3-7.30pm. Best methods have been to anchor and burley hard using pilchard pieces, Gotcha’s yellow snapper burley nuts or Zeacols snapper snack nuts. A small handful sprinkled around the boat every 3-5 minutes will soon bring them to the back of the boat provided you’re in the right area. “My prediction for the coming week is to keep an eye on the 13-15-metre

line from Frankston to Mordialloc. The whole 19-metre line is currently holding a lot of snapper. “For those who only have an eye for King George whiting, Western Port’s North Arm is loaded. A number of my mates have been doing very well every trip with no particular area standing out over another. “Calamari are patchy from Mornington to Frankston, but are in good numbers at Rye and Sorrento with some great catches around The Sisters between Sorrento and Blairgowrie. “Garfish are still nowhere to be seen from Mornington to Brighton, but we hope they will be coming soon.” For land-locked anglers there are good options. Fish for whiting from the beach between Rye and Mt Martha. Best time is late evening and best baits mussels, pipes and sand worms. From the piers, Mornington is producing mullet and a few squid, Stony Point has a few squid, Blairgowrie has squid and the occasional whiting, and Mordialloc and Brighton have a few snapper at night. Clients of Mornington Boat Hire have been catching snapper to 5kg and flathead to 1kg. Last week also saw the return of squid. Whiting have been a little harder but they are still about and patience is required. For snapper, try in 16-18 metres of water out from the pier and in 12 metres around the mussel farm. For whiting and squid, head over to off Mills Beach and Sunnyside.

All my own “work”: Mikael Persson shows off a 4.8-kilogram snapper.

Jonny at Yaringa Boat Hire reports some great catches last week with quite a few snapper to 4kg and whiting to 45cm. The snapper have been best on the runout tide, while whiting have been good at all times. Other fish caught in Western Port include gummy shark, leatherjacket, salmon, trevally, salmon flathead and mullet. From surf beaches, salmon are about at Mornington Peninsula back beaches as well as Kilcunda.

Tight lines and calm seas. Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for magazines and brings his knowledge to MP News Group for season 2012-13.

Night racing at Cranbourne a winner ALL looks to be going smoothly at Cranbourne as night racing moves into top gear. The Cranbourne Turf Club’s tricode meeting last Friday night – horse races, harness races and greyhounds – appeared to be a resounding success. “We were delighted with the crowd and everything went according to plan,” chief executive Neil Bainbridge said. “We have developed a supporter base and are looking forward to conducting more successful meetings during the summer.”

The club will hold seven night fixtures and three harness racing meetings between next Saturday and 18 January. The harness meeting on Saturday 8 December will feature the $100,000 Cranbourne Pacing Cup, which has become an important event on the pacing calendar. The race was won last year by American-bred champion Mr Feelgood, who defeated this year’s Inter Dominion winner Im Themightyquinn. To add to the appeal of the meetings the club will offer racecourse entry and a buffet meal for $20 as well as live bands and entertainment. *** THERE is no doubt Cranbourne “boy” Craig Williams is one of the world’s

Normally an on-pacer, Rulership was slowly away and among the tailenders in the early part of race. But Williams cleverly weaved a passage through the 17-horse field to snatch third place in the last few strides. Now fulfilling a short-term contract in Japan, he will receive a release to ride at the Hong Kong International meeting on Sunday week. He will be aboard Dunaden, who will be trying to win his second successive Hong Kong Vase, and Alcopop in the Hong Kong Cup. Williams partnered Dunaden in his

last to first victory in the Caulfield Cup before finishing 14th when favourite in the Melbourne Cup, when he had legitimate excuses. The eight-year-old Alcopop put himself right into Hong Kong Cup contention when with Williams in the saddle he won the Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington on 3 November. Horse who acquitted themselves over the past week and are worth following are: Monogamy, Burndiniburn, Alpha Proxima, Lucripeteous, Mouro, Chasse, Koe, Kutchinsky, Two Sugars, City Of Song, Tykook, Kitty Cotswold, Hot Lover, Pelicano, Doctor Fremantle, Emboldened and Dane The Rave. Best: Pelicano.
