Call to scrap beach boxes By Mike Hast HIGH tides and storms have damaged beach boxes on Mt Eliza’s Moondah Beach with two leading conservationists calling for all the boxes to be removed. Des Berry, Mt Eliza Association for Environmental Care president and Mt Eliza Foreshore Advisory Group secretary, said recent storms had damaged Mt Eliza beaches with Moondah Beach worst affected. He said about a metre of sand had been washed away “all along the northern reaches of the beach”. “The wash away has undermined the bathing boxes and many are completely undermined and removed from their foundation,” he said. Beach box 62 was off its foundation and had been turned 15 degrees to the south; beach boxes 56, 57 and 58 were off their foundations and canted

10 degrees to the west, he said. Boxes 57 and 58 had their front doors pushed in and were fully open to the sea with internal contents strewn along the foreshore to the north. Many of the other boxes were structurally unsound. Box 56 collapsed last Wednesday. Mr Berry said sand behind the buildings and next to the cliff had been washed away, “making this stretch of beach unsuitable for beach boxes”. “The devastation is so advanced that Mornington Peninsula Shire should consider withdrawal of permits along Moondah Beach, and request that all boxes be removed.” Mt Eliza Coastcare coordinator Jeff Yugovic blamed the 2008-09 Port Phillip channel deepening project for erosion at Portsea, Mt Eliza and other bay beaches.

Club’s new ‘face’ for for races
Racing rules: Jessica Whitfort will be the “face” most associated with events held over the next year by Mornington Racing Club.
JESSICA Whitfort has been named the new Face of Mornington Racing Club. Ms Whitfort, of Frankston South, is a model, presenter, businesswoman, captains the Mt Eliza Redlegs A grade netball team and coaches netball. The “raft of duties” she will perform for the club includes participating in key fashion and racing events, helping with hosting, presenting trophies, conducting media interviews and judging fashions on the field contests. As part of its search for its 2013 “face” the club asked entrants to submit a photo and response to the question: “What attributes do you believe would make you the perfect Face of Mornington Racing Club?” Ms Whitfort replied: “I would love to represent all the women on the peninsula in this exciting role. “It’s a really exciting time to be representing the Mornington Racing Club and representing racing on the peninsula,” Ms Whitfort said. “We’re so lucky to have such great facilities on our back door and be able to experience the quality of the fashion and the racing, very close to home. “I love the races. I love the colour and the buzz and the fashion, plus the social aspect and catching up with friends. It’s very exciting.” Ms Whitfort received $500 cash, styling, hairdressing, a cosmetics pack and a $500 clothing voucher. Her first official appearance will at the Hats ‘n’ Hooves charity lunch on Friday 25 October.

Council faces wait for cash from dumped poll
Clubhouse hit by firefighters GOLFERS at Portsea stood on the greens and watched as masked firefighters disappeared into the smoke-filled clubhouse. Smoke billowed from the old clubhouse as fire trucks stood outside while firefighters fought their way through the smoke to look for anyone trapped inside. However there were no sirens or flashing lights and no barriers to keep bystanders at bay. The firefighters were using the clubhouse for a training exercise before it is demolished. Called to what turned out to be a false alarm at the Portsea Golf Club’s new premises earlier this month, Rye CFA captain Mark Boardman saw an opportunity when told about plans to demolish the old building. “We leap at any opportunity to conduct search and rescue training in local buildings,� Captain Boardman said. “To get a hold of a large commercial building is a bonus.� On the day of the exercise about 50 firefighters from brigades across the peninsula entered the old smoke-filled clubhouse that had been fitted with controlled fire props to practice their primary and secondary search drills. The props included fires in the kitchen and lounge. “These are the essential skills for being able to quickly enter burning buildings to save people,� Capt Boardman said. He urged property owners about to demolish a house or commercial building to “consider making it available for a day or evening for a training exercise�.

By Neil Walker MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire faces a wait to find out whether money given to promote a cancelled referendum will be returned. A planned referendum on recognising local government in the Constitution was dropped when Prime Minister Kevin Rudd opted for a 7 September election date. Electoral and constitution laws stated the earliest date the referendum could have been held in conjunction with the federal election was 14 September. The federal government had argued local councils needed to be recognised in the Constitution to ensure direct funding could continue from the Commonwealth for local government projects. The Municipal Association of Victoria asked councils in the state to make a voluntary contribution to a national campaign organised by the Australian Local Government Association to promote a “yes� vote. “Victoria’s contribution to the national campaign was to be funded by the MAV issuing a voluntary levy on members, with each council to determine whether or not to pay the levy,� Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable organisation director Marilyn Kearney said. Shire councillors decided in May
to make a voluntary contribution of $20,000 toward the MAV’s “yes� campaign. The MAV had requested almost $53,000 from the shire based on population and revenue. Neighbouring municipality Frankston backed the “yes� campaign but declined to make a financial contribution. The MAV had sought just under $42,000 from Frankston Council. Fifty-one councils nationally contributed a total of just over $959,000 to the “yes� campaign. The ALGA is lobbying for the incoming government to fully reimburse councils for the costs of the referendum campaign. ALGA president Felicity-ann Lewis said that about $3 million had already been spent nationally by the local government sector on a “grassroots public relations campaign� before the referendum was scrapped. Marilyn Kearney said: “It is the MAV’s objective for contributions to be returned to councils; however, some funds have already been spent and it may be unreasonable for other states to carry the financial load for Victoria. “The ALGA is continuing discussions with the Commonwealth to work through this issue and the Municipal Association of Victoria will provide further information when available�.

More city rubbish on our beaches By Mike Hast MORNINGTON beaches have again been polluted by rubbish from Melbourne. Recent storms combined with high tides have washed more trash onto the town’s four north-facing beaches – Mothers, Scout, Shire Hall and Mills, says Mornington Environment Association president Jan Oliver. Mills Beach was hit with trash in July after storms (“City rubbishes our beach”, The News, 18/6/13). Ms Oliver said Mills Beach was again worst affected because it faced northwest. “Organic matter such as seaweed, sticks and mulch has been washed down Tanti Creek but plastic pollution has come from Melbourne,” she said. Ms Oliver, other association members and regular beachwalkers found parking ticket slips from Flinders St car parks in the city. “They would have come straight down the Yarra River and into Port Phillip. “Worse still are the hundreds of thousands of small pieces of plastic such as bottletops, drinking straws and polystyrene.” Ms Oliver said Frankston environmentalist Jim Kerin had suggested it appeared councils had not been cleaning litter traps often enough or the traps were not removing small pieces of rubbish. “Most alarming is we picked up 10 syringes last week, both used and ones still in the packet. “We usually pick up one or two needles during Clean Up Australia Day in March so this is very rare.” Ms Oliver said she had been warning people not to let their children jump around on beaches. She said anyone who found syringes could dispose of them in sharps containers installed
in public toilets or take them to Mornington Information Centre at 320 Main St. “We’ve urged Mornington Peninsula Shire to send beach cleaning machines more often than once a month this winter.” The storms and tides also had eroded the four beaches. Jim Kerin said a Melbourne City Council report revealed three billion pieces of litter (about 2000 to 3000 tonnes) was washed into Melbourne’s waterways through stormwater drains each year. “Most litter in stormwater comes from shopping centres and strips, markets, onstreet collections, tips and recycling depots,” he said. “A number of major streams feed the lower Yarra River. Inclusive of the Yarra, they drain Melbourne’s suburban north, northwest and east, and include Maribyrnong and Plenty rivers and Merri, Darebin and Gardiners creeks. “The streams directly connect to the major underground drains beneath streets and commercial precincts of the north and east to Port Phillip’s central and southern beaches. The main drains and beds and banks of creeks and rivers are managed by Melbourne Water. “Once this litter leaves the Yarra, it’s carried by Port Phillip’s predominant clockwise currents south to beaches in the municipalities of Bayside, Kingston, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.” He said rivers of garbage can be seen in Port Phillip after significant rain events. “Each year the four councils spend hundreds of thousands of dollars collecting drift litter from their beaches.” The rubbish should be stopped by inner city councils and Melbourne Water instead of shifting the cost to bayside councils, he said.

Wine warning: Nat White among vines in his Main Ridge Estate at Red Hill. The pioneering peninsula winemaker says allowing a rubbish tip in an old quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana will increase the likelihood of bushfires, which could devastate the region’s $60 million a year wine industry.

Winemaker fears tip fires By Mike Hast A BUSHFIRE starting in the proposed rubbish tip in the old Pioneer quarry at Dromana could devastate the peninsula’s $60 million a year wine industry, says pioneering winemaker Nat White. Mr White, founder of Main Ridge Estate 38 years ago, was one of more than 350 people at an Environment Protection Authority conference last week where objectors asked questions of tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management. The 73-year-old Red Hill winemaker, regarded as the doyen of modern era peninsula vintners, asked if Peninsula Waste Management would “help us with insurance�. No answer was provided. Questions and statements about fire risk were included in seven categories covered at the meeting.
Mr White said smoke was one of the greatest hazards for wine grape growers, especially during the warmer months from January to March when grapes were at their most vulnerable. “Just one or two days of smoke can ruin grapes and make them unfit for making wine,� he said. “We are not talking about toxic smoke from a rubbish tip fire but ordinary bushfire smoke,� he said. Smoke caused an “unacceptable taint in wine�. “Yarra Valley growers lost grapes because of smoke from the massive Victorian Alps fires of 2007,� he said. More than one million hectares was burnt between January and March. “Smoke from a big fire on Arthurs Seat could easily reach Balnarring and Flinders with northerly and westerly winds.�
Mr White said the peninsula’s winemaking industry had never sustained major bushfire smoke damage but allowing a rubbish tip on the Arthurs Seat escarpment next to the state park significantly increased the risk of this happening, he said. Nat White planted the first grapes on his property south of Arthurs Seat Rd in 1975 and picked the first vintage three years later. Main Ridge Estate, the first commercial winery on the peninsula, initially grew experimental crops of chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot meunier, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, gewurztraminer, cabernet franc and riesling. Varieties grown nowadays include chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. More on tip issue Page 33

Sydney summit help for peninsula women MORNINGTON Peninsula women were among 300 breast cancer survivors at this month’s national breast cancer summit in Sydney hosted by Breast Cancer Network Australia. Kate Smith, who represented the southern peninsula, described the summit as “inspiring and informative, providing some practical ideas and resources to take back to the peninsula community”. Jo Lovelock, of Mt Martha, representing Breast Intentions, a support group for younger women, said local breast cancer groups were “a great source of support for women dealing with breast cancer, and are powered by local survivors who volunteer their own time”. The network’s national summit aimed to build skills, knowledge and connections among group representatives and individuals who support women and families affected by breast cancer. Women like Ms Smith and Ms Lovelock are “the heart of our national support network”, network CEO Maxine Morand said. “They give so much to their communities. It’s a privilege to work with them and help build their capacity to continue supporting women and families affected by breast cancer around Australia.” Experts at the summit spoke about the latest developments in the treatment, care and peer support for breast cancer sufferers. The network represents Australians affected by breast cancer and links more than 80,000 individuals and 300 community support groups, including Peninsula Community Wig Centre and Mornington Peninsula Women’s Cancer Group. The cancer group caters for women of all ages with any cancers at all stages of their cancer at The Bays Hospital while the wig centre is a free service for any woman living on the peninsula who has lost her hair due to chemotherapy. Keynote speakers at the summit included former Olympian Raelene Boyle, Professor Kerryn Phelps, Professor Fran Boyle, Dr Craig Hassed and Professor Jane Turner. For details about support groups on the peninsula, call 0429 929 071 or visit www.bcna.org.au Wig centre info from 0407 525 119 or www.bcna.org.au

Storm damage prompts call for beach boxes to go Continued from Page 1
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is more widespread than Portsea. There is dramatic and unprecedented coastal retreat as far as Beaumaris where I professionally advised Bayside Council on sandbagging to protect Ricketts Point Teahouse after the dredging,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dr Yugovic, a professional ecologist, said Lorne on the Great Ocean Rd, for example, had not seen any â&#x20AC;&#x153;severe erosion this yearâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Port Phillip EcoCentre tide gauge analysis of channel deepening showed Lorne had a very mi-
nor increase in mean high tide consistent with national sea level rise, but Port Phillip had a significant increase beyond predictions in the dredging environmental effects statement,â&#x20AC;? he said. The beach boxes should be removed from Moondah Beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mt Eliza beaches have more geological diversity and types of natural pebble than any other beaches in southeast Australia. They must not be contaminated with foreign geological material such as lumps of concrete and asbestosâ&#x20AC;? as more boxes were damaged, he said.
The shire has closed beach access. A shire spokeswoman said public access to the beach had been blocked and the shire and Department of Environment and Primary Industries would assess future options for Moondah Beach and its beach boxes. Moondah Beach is south of Kunyung Rd and was in the news last year when billionaire clothing retailer Solomon Lew and his daughter Jacqueline Lew were forced to demolish their $400,000 horizon pool built without permits on Crown land above the beach.

Meeting takes off on talk of business class By David Harrison Council meeting at Besgrove St, Rosebud, 12 August, 7pm. Small gallery crowd; tea, coffee and biscuits provided. IT was a night of “moved, seconded, carried” through the meeting’s early agenda items – declaration of a special charge scheme in McCrae, abandonment of a special charge scheme in Shoreham – indicating the pre-council councillor meeting had run smoothly. A notable event was the final public appearance of the popular Tom Burk, infrastructure strategy project manager, finally giving work away at age 70, having arrived on the peninsula to work “for two years at most” in 1970. Well done and have a great retirement, Tom; a splendid officer and a true gentleman. Then it was back to business. Agenda item 2.9 received the closest councillor attention – shire policy on inter-
state and overseas air travel: was it to be economy or business? Travel comfort is clearly a serious matter. But a small snafu needed attention, said governance manager Noel Buck; an inconsistency between two policies, one of which referred to economy class, the other to business class. While councillors and officers should “where practicable” travel economy on interstate and overseas flights, there needed to be some recognition that, depending on the flight, “business class may be appropriate”, Mr Buck said. Most councillors nodded approvingly. The gallery was reassured that any councillor travel request worth more than $2000 would need to come to council for public appraisal and councillor approval. Which could mean a lot of flights able to be taken under the financial radar. CEO Michael Kennedy said he could imagine a circumstance where a councillor, “for instance, the mayor”, may
travel on behalf of the council – “let’s just say we had a relationship with a city overseas” – that would make business class appropriate. More nodding but people in the gallery wondered if a sister city announcement was imminent. Mayor Lynn Bowden stated with a smile she had no imminent travel plans. Cr Andrew Dixon sought and was given confirmation that councillors would still have the final say “where business travel might exceed relevant allowances for department heads and so on”. Do “department heads” have their travel plans approved by councillors? Council Watch doubts that such strato-
spheric worthies would submit to having their travel intentions scrutinised by the elected hoi polloi. Cr Antonella Celi, concerned that the term “economy class” was “too prescriptive”, was reassured by both Mr Buck and Dr Kennedy that the words did not preclude councillors travelling business class. Cr Graham Pittock, just back from a visit to the United States, suggested there should be some conditions attached, depending on time and duration of flights. “We are somehow privileged to be able to spend probably three times the cost of the normal economy fare to go business,” he said. Why, he wanted to know, could not councillors opt for the “escape, um, chairs or whatever”. Laughter as he was rescued by Cr Bowden – “Emergency exit” seats, she coached. “At $25 extra,” Cr Pittock told the chamber. “I’m not sure why anyone would want to put the extra impost on rate-
payers to travel.” Fair enough, Council Watch thought. Cr David Gibb’s position was even more ratepayer-friendly. Closing the debate, he told the chamber he had wanted no options – “economy class only, full stop”. “Of three overseas planning study trips I’ve undertaken, I’ve paid for the airfares myself, because I don’t believe ratepayers expect overseas airfares to be paid for by the shire council,” he said. What a fine example. Perhaps councillors could consider paying any upgrade to business out of their councillor allowance? Council Watch would prefer to think that councillors – and shire officers – would not even countenance flying, say, Melbourne to Sydney return in a $690 business class seat when they might have taken the trip in economy at $215.
Tenders called for port studies TENDERS have been called for site investigations in preparation to expand the Port of Hastings. Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean sees the move as “a significant new milestone in the evolution of the port”. Mr Lean said the authority, tenderers and government agencies would work to ensure “that any potential environ-
mental impacts are well understood and managed during investigations”. “Our approach at every stage will be to avoid or minimise any environmental impacts and we are confident that these works can be conducted safely and with minimal impact.” He said the three work programs covered marine geotechnical investigations, land side geotechnical in-
vestigations and a marine geophysics survey. The results would provide the authority with “critical contemporary baseline data required to inform port expansion planning over the next four years”. “These investigation works will be vital to ensuring that we have a comprehensive understanding of the condi-
tions that exist both on land and under the sea bed as we get on with the job of planning to expand the port,” Mr Lean said. He said it was “vital” to accelerate the expansion of the Port of Hastings “if Victoria is to retain its status as the nation’s freight and logistics capital and secure our economic future”. Mr Lean said the investigations were
expected to start later this year and would involve geotechnical sampling at locations on land identified for port expansion, as well as at various locations throughout Western Port. “These are highly technical works involving specialised equipment. We expect to receive tenders from experienced providers from Victoria and right around Australia.” Mr Lean said.

MP pledges more CCTV By Chris Brennan CCTV surveillance of Mornington Peninsula crime hotspots, including Mornington’s Main St precinct and Mt Eliza village, will be extended and lighting upgraded under a federal Coalition plan to address public safety concerns. Liberal MP Bruce Billson last week promised $759,000 to make entertainment and shopping precincts in Dunkley electorate safer if the Coalition is elected at next month’s federal poll. Mornington will get the lion’s share of the promised cash – $450,000. CCTV networks would be extended, comms links to police stations improved and street lights upgraded, while “new support” to tackle graffiti and vandalism would be provided. Mornington was a top priority for upgraded CCTV and better lighting following repeated instances of public violence and vandalism in the town’s busy late night entertainment precinct, including the “vicious” assault of three security guards at the notorious Main St taxi rank last month. Mr Billson said had the Coalition’s plan been in place at the time, police would have been able to identify the perpetrators of the attack as well as those responsible for numerous other incidents of violence, vandalism and public disorder that continue to mar areas around popular late night Main St establishments.
“We live, work and recreate in Dunkley’s terrific local communities but it is unacceptable for just a few to ruin the appeal of our favourite spaces,” Mr Billson said. The cash promise represented the next step in the rollout of the Dunkley Community Safety Plan, and would focus on Mornington’s Main St, adjoining car parks and access lanes, and activation of the CCTV system and police coms link proposed for Mt Eliza. Other areas to be targeted include: Frankston’s Kananook Creek precinct; Seaford pier and village shops; Mahogany Community Centre and adjoining shopping area; and Langwarrin’s commercial and community facilities precinct, including a one-off grant for an anti-graffiti team. “I am pleased this package will also support the transfer of responsibility of the Mornington CCTV system from the chamber of commerce to Mornington Peninsula Shire, enabling businesses to focus on growing their businesses and employment opportunities, rather than being CCTV technical and electrical billing whizzes.” Mornington Chamber of Commerce president Judy Edwards welcomed the Coalition’s funding commitment and said more CCTV and better lighting were critical to address safety issues. “These measures are really needed in Mornington; we can’t have people being bashed and hurt, shops being urinated on at night, windows being

smashed, graffiti – it’s just not suitable for this type of town,” she said. “We have some CCTV cameras already but not enough. The cameras need to be updated and increased in number. There’s a real need in Mornington because of the night spots being open so late and queues of people waiting at the taxi ranks afterwards; we’ve seen too many instances of violence. “We are hoping to improve the lighting in laneways. Some areas don’t have very good lighting and that causes people to loiter in those areas after being at nightclubs and has caused problems.” Ms Edwards also welcomed Mr Billson’s push to have ownership of existing and proposed new CCTV cameras transferred to the shire.
“It’s very costly for the chamber to cover the running cost of these cameras so we’re hoping council will take over responsibility,” she said. “In other townships the shire is paying, but these were put up quite some years ago – about 15 years ago. They were the first cameras on the peninsula and the chamber has had ownership of the bills ever since.” Mornington Peninsula Shire director of sustainable infrastructure Alex Atkins said the council was working on a long-term policy for the installation of CCTV cameras, with a particular focus on the ongoing maintenance costs. “The shire welcomes the commitment made by Mr Billson to upgrading the existing CCTV cameras in Main

Street and will work with Victoria Police and the chamber of commerce to facilitate the project,” he said. “The shire is currently developing its long-term policy position in relation to CCTV camera installations given that current state government grant schemes, and Mr Billson’s commitment, do not cover the maintenance and replacement costs of these systems into the future. “The shire will continue to work with Victoria Police, entertainment venue operators, chambers of commerce and the community to improve the safety and amenity of all townships, recognising that CCTV provision may be only one of many different strategies required.”
Backyard car dealers clock up dodgy deals POLICE have warned potential car buyers to be wary of purchasing vehicles from “backyard” dealers following a recent trend of vehicles being sold through online sites with altered odometer readings. Detective Senior Constable David Atkinson of the organised motor vehicle theft squad said multiple victims had been duped after purchasing cars from private parties through various online sites with seemingly low odometer readings compared to the age of the car. Offenders were sourcing vehicles with high odometer readings then winding their odometers back – usually by a substantial amount, Detective Atkinson said. The vehicles with new odometer readings were then on-sold through a variety of online auction and car sales websites at far higher prices. Detective Atkinson said the basic rule intending purchasers should always follow is: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Investigators are encouraging the community to check the following to help prevent them from becoming a victim of a scam. • Always do a search on the internet using the registration details as any old advertisements for the same car may be located. • Check the prices of similar vehicles – the sellers of vehicles that have had their odometers tampered with are often all too willing to sell their vehicles at a much lower than market value in order to dispose of the vehicle quickly.
• Be wary if the seller has multiple mobile numbers. • When attending the address to check the vehicle, have a look to see if there is an unusually high amount of vehicles parked in or around the property as this may indicate the seller is running a backyard operation. • Ask questions of the seller about the vehicle’s history and why they are selling it – be wary if they sound unsure or become evasive with answers. • Check for wear on parts that may be inconsistent with the amount of kilometres the vehicle is showing. • Always ask for the vehicle’s logbook and verify what is contained in it with the respective dealers. If there is no logbook, the buyer should become wary. • If the vehicle was purchased by the seller through a dealer, find out what dealer and make enquiries with them about the vehicle’s history. • Always verify the identification of the seller before a deposit is paid. View their driving licence and make note of the licence number and photo. If the seller is not the registered owner of the car, find out why the vehicle is not in the seller’s name and insist that the vehicle is transferred into the seller’s name before purchase or that the registered owner is present. • If the seller is insistent on cash being paid for the vehicle, again be wary. Anyone with information about backyard car dealers is asked to contact their local police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers. com.au
Giving voice to animals ONE of the Animal Justice Party’s 14 candidates standing for the Senate and Lower House is Sarah Davison of Mt Eliza. Ms Davison (pictured), who runs an online business called The Arctic Vegan Store, is standing for the Senate in Victoria. “Our supporters come from all walks of life and include dog lovers wanting to see an end to puppy mills and those keen for the end of live animal exports,” she said. Mark Pearson, lead Senate candidate for NSW and the party’s vice-president, said
it was the first time a political party had represented the interests of animals. “Having seen the atrocities of the live export trade, many Australians understand there is an urgent need for an animal-specific voice in the corridors of power.” Ms Davison held a vegan sausage sizzle and information stall on Saturday at Rosebud Centro shopping centre.

Duo seek migration cuts TWO independent candidates standing in Flinders want to reduce Australia’s current immigration levels. Paul Madigan of French Island and Denis McComack of Northcote want voters to “write ‘Reduce immigration’ in blank spaces at the top of both ballot papers after numbering all boxes as they wish”. Mr Madigan, 66, is a farmer, singersongwriter and broadcaster who moved to French Island more than 10 years ago. Old music fans might remember his venture Madigan’s in Brunswick, a venue for innovative artists in the 1990s. He stood for Australians Against Further Immigration in 1996 and as an independent in 2004. Mr Madigan is a former president of the French Island Community Association. Denis McComack, 59, is a researcher and analyst of immigration issues. He was a co-founder and electoral

Wedges will be protected: MP By Mike Hast MORNINGTON MP David Morris has refuted a claim new land zoning laws would clear the way for massive hotel, convention centre and residential complexes in Mornington Peninsula green wedge zones. RMIT University professor of planning Michael Buxton last week said the latest zone reform package, unveiled by Planning Minister Matthew Guy, removed strict conditions on inappropriate development on land in rural conservation zones (“Govt opens door to green belt development”, The News, 20/8/13). Mr Morris said the peninsula did not use rural conservation zone overlays. “The reformed Green Wedge Zone and the policy emphasis on protection of agriculture and landscape, together with the anticipated Peninsula Policy Statement, mean the peninsula will have the best planning system in the state – sound planning controls, recognised areas for growth and recognised areas with strong protection,” he said. “The decision confirms that the green wedge is an agricultural zone, not a residential zone. “The Mornington Peninsula is home to a thriving agricultural industry, generating more than $650 million annually for the local economy and creating significant employment opportunities. “Freeway service centres and [jails],
previously a permitted use, will now be prohibited. “The reformed zone retains the 40-hectare minimum subdivision, which for several decades has protected the non-urban areas of the peninsula, together with the ‘in-conjunction’ test.” He said the in-conjunction test ensured a development proposal related to the primary use of the land on which it was located, “preventing inappropriate and indiscriminate development”. “The new controls are a win-win situation – a win for the peninsula and a win for the people of Victoria. “It confirms the critical role played by the Mornington Peninsula Green Wedge in protecting the amenity and landscape values of the region for future generations. “In summary, the changes to the Green Wedge Zone will: Add a purpose – to provide for the use of land for agriculture. Agriculture, primary produce sales (stalls must be a maximum 50 square metres and not within 110 metres of a dwelling under separate ownership), rural store (maximum 100 square metres) uses will no longer require a permit. Place of assembly (maximum 10 days a year), primary and secondary school become uses subject to a permit.
Freeway service centre and corrective institution become prohibited uses. Uses to remain prohibited include service stations, display homes, and medical centres. In-conjunction tests to remain for restaurants, group accommodation, function centres, residential buildings, residential hotels and research centres. Primary and secondary school deci-
sion guidelines have been added. Professor Buxton said the peninsula was the most vulnerable part of Melbourne’s green belt due to its proximity to the city and its coastline with bays on either side. “The big developers are attracted to the most beautiful locations, and that’s why places like the peninsula need tough, uncompromising protection because their beauty attracts the worst
uses,” he said. Mr Buxton said the peninsula had been subject to a number of development applications in the past. The government’s new zoning regulations revealed a development bias, he said. “There can be no compromise on the protection of beautiful areas like the peninsula if we are going to retain them for future generations.”

Peninsula Green Army set to go with Lib election win By Chris Brennan THE Mornington Peninsula will be among the first regions in Australia to benefit from the federal Coalition’s $300 million Green Army scheme, with opposition environment spokesman Greg Hunt last week unveiling four proposals for the area. Mr Hunt said if the Coalition was elected at next month’s federal poll, work would begin in the new year on Mt Martha-Balcombe Creek nature trail habitat enhancement, southern peninsula foreshore and creek rejuvenation, Red Hill South biolink and community reserve creation, and the Mornington Peninsula’s “war on weeds” project. The Green Army plan was recently launched by Mr Hunt, who is the incumbent member for Flinders, and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott as a “signature” environment program for the Coalition. Under the proposed scheme, the Coalition would build a national environmental conservation workforce of about 15,000 people to work with councils, Landcare groups and local catchment authorities to clean up the environment. Teams of 10 young environmental trainees will work on communitybased environmental projects over a six-month period, earning a training wage for their contribution, while also studying for a qualification in conservation and land management.. Mr Hunt last week visited Red Hill South to unveil the Mornington Pen-
PAGE 16
insula Green Army Project, which he said would bring much-needed jobs and training to the area while also providing a “huge boost” to the environment. “At Red Hill South, the Green Army will work to create a 3.3-kilometre biolink along Point Leo Rd between Paringa Rd and Frankston-Flinders Rd,” Mr Hunt said. “Work will consist mainly of weed removal and revegetation to enhance the area’s high conservation value. “At Mt Martha, environmental trainees will focus on revegetating Balcombe Creek nature trail as well as creating habitats for wildlife, installing bird boxes, water quality monitoring and protection for listed species. “On the southern peninsula, a primary focus will be on work to remedy beach erosion and rehabilitate foreshore land at Portsea, Sorrento, Blairgowrie, Rye and Rosebud. “Workers will also rehabilitate creek banks at Chinamans Creek and Drum Drum Alloc Creek at Rosebud.” The project would also include landscaping and associated environmental work on a proposed new community reserve at the corner of Point Leo and Red Hill-Shoreham roads. “Across the Mornington Peninsula, the team will also wage a ‘war on weeds’, eradicating weed infestations along some of the major roads and allowing indigenous vegetation to flourish.” The Mornington Peninsula Green Army Project would be carried out “in

consultation and conjunction with” Mornington Peninsula Shire, Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Group, Red Hill Community Action Group and peninsula Landcare groups, Mr Hunt said. “This project will greatly improve the peninsula’s natural environment, while giving youngsters valuable training and a solid work foundation on which to build a future career.” Trainees would gain a wide range of experience in conservation and land management practices such as coastal stabilisation, creek bank regeneration, the propagation and planting of native seedlings, weed control and wildlife conservation. “We want to help our young people improve their environment while gaining vital employment experience,” Mr Hunt said. “This program will help youngsters overcome employment barriers and deliver a positive contribution to the community. “It is about jobs and training for young people. It is also about creating an environmental benefit that everyone can enjoy.” Mr Hunt also unveiled details of the Western Port Green Army Project, which would focus on the rehabilitation of Watsons Creek in Baxter and Somerville; foreshore revegetation and walking track construction at Hastings, Crib Point and Somers; preservation of bandicoot habitat at Bayles, and weed removal and revegetation at Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang.
Candidate faces vandals LIBERAL Party candidate Bruce Billson has been defaced. Vandals have attacked many of his billboards, ripping his photo and wasting time for volunteers who would rather be out campaigning on their candidate’s behalf. Mr Billson has held Dunkley since 1996 and is being challenged by eight candidates: Sonya Kilkenny, Australian Labor Party; Simon Tiller, Australian Greens; Kate Ryder, Palmer United Party; Cameron Eastman, Family First; Yvonne Gentle, Rise Up Australia party; Eloise Palmi, Sex Party; and
independents Rod Burt and Roy Broff. Mr Billson put the vandalism down to what candidates face when campaigning in a marginal seat. He held Dunkley at the 2010 election with a one per cent majority. “I have no idea who is doing the vandalism, but clearly they are not members of my team,” he said. “The campaign is going well and the feedback is good on the street for not only our national plan but also because I’m the only candidate with a positive local plan.” Keith Platt

Quarry tip meeting EPA’s biggest ever By Mike Hast MORE than 350 residents almost filled Peninsula Community Theatre on Wednesday last week to hear Peninsula Preservation Group members grill proponents of the proposed rubbish tip in an old quarry at Dromana. The so-called Section 20B conference was organised by the Environment Protection Authority as part of its appraisal of Peninsula Waste Management’s application for a municipal rubbish tip, or landfill, in the former Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment. EPA boss John Merritt and 16 staff attended. Mr Merritt told The News it was the biggest 20B conference the agency had run and the EPA was aware of the “community angst” the proposal had generated. (Section 20B is part of the Environment Protection Act.) The EPA received 900 submissions about the tip and more than 450 people had said they would attend the conference but a bitter winter’s night saw many people stay at home. PWM, owned by R E Ross Trust, which also owns Hillview Quarries, wants to dump about 150,000 tonnes a year for more than 20 years in the disused quarry. About 40,000 tonnes would come from the peninsula and the rest from other municipalities. Topics covered included the need for a tip; its impact on flora and fauna; fire risk, air quality, odour and noise; its impact on surface waters, groundwater and Port Phillip; its impact on businesses, residents and tourists; and how the site would be rehabilitated. Peninsula Preservation Group or-
ganised small teams of questioners for each topic. Peninsula Waste Management’s development manager David Maltby was supported by consultants including Cardno Lane Piper partner Anthony Lane as well as Ross Trust trustees Ian Vaughan and John McInnes. The meeting was rowdy at times with people interjecting from the floor when they considered PWM and its consultants had not adequately answered questions. After the conference, Peninsula Preservation Group president Jacinta Banks told The News she was disappointed with many of the answers provided by PWM and its consultants. “They’ve had years to prepare reports about the various aspects of the proposal,” she said. “This is a high-risk venture with the potential to greatly impact people and the environment, and the detail provided was inadequate.” She said information was weak in many areas including why the peninsula needed a tip that would take rubbish from outside the region when there was space at a Hampton Park landfill that would not be filled until 2030, the potential threat of polluted water leaving the quarry site and running into Sheepwash Creek and then Port Phillip, the extent of odour affecting the surrounding area, and the increased fire risk from having a tip next to the heavily wooded Arthurs Seat State Park. Ms Banks said PWM’s flora and fauna study was inadequate, a point conceded by the proponent with one of
its experts saying further studies were planned, including investigating the potential impact on threatened species such as the powerful owl, which inhabits the state park next to the quarry. Ian Vaughan, chairman of Peninsula Waste Management and a member of the Ross Trust, said the conference was “a vital part of the decision-making process concerning the planned landfill site”. “It enabled community members to seek clarification over matters concerning them and we were happy to be able to respond to their questions,” he said. “With more than 20 issues discussed, many of them extremely complex, it was an informative and valuable step towards better community understanding of this vital project.” Mr Vaughan said the conference was “extremely well managed by the EPA”. A report on the event by the meeting’s independent chairman Bruce Turner will form part of the EPA’s deliberations. The agency is expected to make a decision in early October. In other developments, Mornington Peninsula Shire has granted PWM an extension until February to provide more information to go with its planning approval application. PWM needs approval from the EPA and the shire to proceed. No shire councillors attended the conference. The shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble told The News “they were all given the opportunity to attend, that is, they were not advised by [shire] officers to stay away. It was a personal decision by each [councillor]”.
Tip talk: Peninsula Waste Management representatives listen to tip objectors.
Call for EPA to dump application NEAR the end of the conference, which ran more than an hour over time, Professor John Stanley of Peninsula Preservation Group submitted a motion, which was passed with acclamation. Dr Stanley, who teaches at the University of Sydney, lives in Red Hill about two kilometres from the tip site. Motion for Section 20B conference That this meeting resolves to: 1. Strongly support the Victorian government’s position, as set down in its waste policy (Getting Full Value, April 2013) that the fundamental role of the waste and resource recovery system is to protect and conserve the environment and public health from the risks that arise from waste materials. 2. Applaud the Victorian government’s commitment to minimise the environmental and public health impacts of waste and resource recovery facilities. 3. Strongly reject the landfill facility proposed by Ross Trust affiliate Peninsula Waste Management for Boundary Rd, Dromana, on the grounds that it poses unacceptable risks for the local environment, community, public health and businesses, which are not able to be mitigated to a satisfactory extent. 4. Recognise that there are alternative ways of managing waste from the Mornington Peninsula that have less risk for the Victorian environment and public health. 5. Call on the EPA to reject the works application for the landfill.

Winkels may be based in Moorooduc on the Mornington Peninsula, but flowers he needs to produce the pollen for collection by his millions

of production staff are scattered far and wide. His thousands of hives are trucked to areas across the state where he is licensed to farm. The licences must be renewed annually and Winkels likens them to “abalone licences, that’s where your long term value is”. Weather and seasons determine where and when flowers will bloom and also the type of honey being produced. His bees are also in big demand by farmers whose crops need to be pollinated on time. “Most food plants are completely dependent on bees, while many other plants and trees are pollinated by birds, other insects or the wind.” German born Winkels was 21 when he came to Australia on a holiday with his parents. He was brought up on a farm near Cologne, where his family grew rabbits in cages, wild pigs, turkeys and chickens. He moved to his Moorooduc property in 1986, embarking over the next 13 years on several different ways of making a living from the land, including raising goats. It was after a plumber friend tried to extract honey from a hive of wild bees in a tree that he decided honey might be a sweet way to success. His first hive was bought through the Trading Post and he then joined a club of enthusiasts. The bees came from collecting swarms in spring, splitting their numbers and “hoping a queen will come”. These days fertilised queens are bought and mailed to Winkels in small cages. He likens the egg-laying queens –mated with about 20 drones that die from the effort – to sperm banks. Each hive has 20,000-60,000 bees, all working for the continuation of their community. Gathering food (pollen) and delivering it to the hive where it is supplied to the next generation carefully being nurtured from eggs to larvae, and finally pupae within the safe, warm walls of honeycomb (wax). Bees are basically tricked into producing more honey than they need by being placed in an area of abundance, so they store excess honey and pollen. The queen is unable to reach the extra layers of honeycomb attached to removable frames, which are larvaefree. The honey is regularly cleared
from the honeycomb (“robbing the bees”), which encourages the bees to keep replenishing their store. Beekeepers reuse the honeycomb, so that the bees can concentrate on making honey and not waste time or effort on the intricate, hexagonal wax structure. It has been estimated that bees consume four kilograms of honey to produce 500gm of wax. This is the basic information needed for a honey manufacturer. There is no secret to the process and archaeologists have unearthed hives in the Middle East and drawings of bees being “smoked” dating back 3000 years. Thirty intact hives discovered in the ruins of the city of Rehov, in Israel, are said to prove the existence of a honey industry. In Moorooduc, a tired John Winkels tells of driving a truckload of hives the previous night to one of his licensed areas in a state forest. “It’s a hard job,” Winkels says. “We have to move the bees to where the nutrition is, which can be up to 500 kilometres away. Spring and autumn are best. “There’s a lot of trial and error involved. Finding the right sites is like prospecting. “Eucalypts can be unreliable; sometimes they respond to rain and drop their flowers. It was quite good during the drought but when conditions are good they choose to grow wood rather than reproduce, which means fewer flowers.” Winkels production problems do not end with the profusion or otherwise of flowers: bees suffer from disease, fungi and attacks from other insects. Bushfires in the Grampians on New Year’s Day cut short the collection of pollen for the prized, and expensive, Manuka honey. Luckily, “nature works it out”, Winkels says. “Bees may not be the smartest, but they are the fastest to adapt to change. They breed so quickly and queens can choose to lay eggs for workers or drones.” A danger looming on the horizon that could be catastrophic is the threat of varroa mites, which can prove deadly to the European strains used in honey production. The mites are carried by Asian bees that have yet to gain a foothold in Australia, but were responsible for the deaths of 80 per cent of bees in New Zealand. However, when things go right, Winkels
bees are either busy making honey or pollinating crops. “We hire the boxes out to orchards or farms. It all happens in a warm day in spring,” he says. “It’s blossom time, full bloom and the farmers can’t see a bee in sight and they freak out. “I’ve got my own orchard so I understand what they go through.” Beekeepers are also wary of orchards because of insecticide spray drift. Bees also get caught in bird nets. These two hazards alone can be responsible for the death of 10-15 per cent of bees. While pollinating specific crops the bees do not produce honey: “They need variety not a mono-culture,” Winkels says. “We have to supply the hive with a honey back-up to keep the bees fed, but even then it reduces their life span to about six weeks.” Pure Peninsula Honey produces about 100 tonnes of honey a year, which includes product from some smaller producers. With no use-by date, the honey can be stored outside for long periods in plastic containers. A centrifuge is used to spin the honey out from the honeycomb, with a good hive providing about 15 kilograms. The honey is allowed to settle for up to 48 hours before being passed through a sieve and bottled. There are no additives and little promotion of the product’s tastiness and health benefits is needed. Sold in shops, Pure Peninsula Honey is also available at the Winkels’ farm in Derril Rd, Moorooduc, along with other honey products, including cosmetics and candles. Busy bees can be seen working in a glass-sided hive and the life cycle of bees can be read on signs in the garden. Soon to be released is a honey mead, or honey wine, being made with Mornington Peninsula-based winemaker Wayne Hewett. Winkels, no stranger to being stung by the insects that buzz about making his honey, finds a quote from Einstein to emphasis their effect on humanity: “If bees go, humans have only got two or three years left. It’s very hard to do everything [pollinating plants] by hand.” Until then, the seasons will continue to keep Winkels as busy as a … bee. Courtesy of Business Times www. businesstimes.net.au
VANDALS have again damaged Woolleys Beach Reserve in Crib Point. Foreshore committee of management secretary Cecelia Witton says a stolen four-wheel drive was driven through a fence, onto the beach and into the water on Sunday 18 August. The vehicle damaged plants and the sensitive foreshore area. An unknown number of vandals moved concrete sleepers used to block access to the beach, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We closed off beach access after
previous damage,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past year, incidents of damage have increased with rubbish dumping, graffiti and wire fences being systematically cut, section by section one bit at a time. Each week a little bit more is cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The continued damage to the reserve is very disheartening for members of the committee as well as those who enjoy the natural features of the reserve.â&#x20AC;? Ms Witton said police were investigating the incident. Mike Hast

Enjoy being cared for Explosives found at house ARSON and Explosives Squad detectives recovered gelignite from a house at Frankston. A tradesman doing building works at the property found the explosives secreted in the house and called police. Frankston SES was also called in to help after the initial gelignite was removed from the property. SES volunteers helped clear the area so the Bomb Response Unit could do a thorough search. The explosives will be taken to a quarry in Skye and disposed of under the direction of the forensic explosives chemist and WorkSafe Victoria. Police attended the same property on Monday 5 August where they allegedly located a quantity of explosives. The explosives were taken to the same quarry for safe disposal. A 63-year-old Frankston man was charged with possessing explosives and faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 8 August where he was remanded in custody. Picture: Gary Sissons

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
Poison apples a solution for rabbits, winter social a splendid success Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 30 August 1913. INSPECTOR Kelleher has been urging the farmers to use poisoned apples to destroy the rabbits. A number of farmers say the rabbits will not take this bait. To prove the efficacy of apples as a means of poisoning, the inspector laid this bait in a 350 acre paddock close to Pakenham on the 20th of July. The next morning he counted 50 dead rabbits, this notwithstanding that the owners of the land had previously poisoned with wheat, and the trappers were also at work. *** THE third of a series of winter socials in connection with St Paul’s Church, Frankston, was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Hall, and proved very successful. A good programme of musical items, imitations and recitations was rendered, and thoroughly appreciated. The dialogue and farce were well received. and the acting of those taking part was very good. After a splendid supper had been handed round, a short dance was held and the proceedings terminated about midnight. *** ONLY two of the five candidates for the municipal election at Mornington stated their views before the ratepayers, and they (Cr Stephens and Mr W. A. Korner) had the largest attendance that ever assembled in the Mechanics’ Hall to hear candidates’ views. *** MR Justice Bucknill, having before
him two serious cases which arose from “beastly drunkenness”, said most solemnly and emphatically that the severest punishment should be meted out to publicans who allowed men to get drunk on their premises. *** AT the conclusion of the League football season, it has been the custom for many years past for two strong teams, picked from league and ex-league players, to visit Frankston and play a match in the local park. The organisers met on Saturday last in the city, and we learn with regret that in all probability this year the match will be played at Lilydale or Healesville. *** ON Tuesday evening last a very interesting debate, “Horse v. bicycle,” took place at the meeting of the Y.M.C.A. The debate lasted about an hour and a half, six members speaking on each side. Mr F. Bieri, who adjudicated, declared the horse the winner. At the conclusion of the debate a social was held, and a very enjoyable time was spent on parlour games. Several new members were present. *** MR C. Grice, of Frankston, received a nasty fall while riding Padagra in the Corinthian Handicap at Williamstown on Saturday. In this race, three horses – Padagra, Coronatis and Vallenus – fell but the other riders escaped injury. Mr Grice was admitted to Dr. Bird’s private hospital for a couple of days. *** THE friends of Mr and Mrs G. W. Baxter, of Frankston, will regret to
learn of the death of their infant son on Monday last. The little fellow had been suffering for some time so that the end was not quite unexpected. The remains were buried in the Frankston cemetery on Wednesday, the Rev. Kitcial officiating at the graveside. *** THE official opening of the new wing of the Frankston Ragged Boys’ Home is, we learn, to take place during September. Invitations to this function are now in course of preparation, and will shortly be issued to residents. On this occasion a large number of Melbourne business and public men will visit Frankston, including several members of Parliament. The Frankston Brass Band together with Di Gilio’s String Band is to be asked to assist. The cost of the building (over £100) was raised in Frankston, per medium of local concerts, organised by Messrs Pettit, Jolly and Gregory. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co., will hold their usual monthly market at the Tanti Yards on Monday next, September 1st, when a good yarding is expected. *** THE Chelsea Hotel poll, to decide whether or not a victualler’s license should be granted to Chelsea was held on Thursday, with the result that an additional hotel license will not be granted in the Dandenong licensing division. *** MR C. H. Morgan intends at an early date to commence an up-to date saddlery and boot repairing business at Dromana, under capable
management. Particulars will be advertised later. *** MR H. W. McNalty, who is relieving Mr C. P. Watson at the Frankston branch of the State Savings Bank, has recently bought a property off the Langwarrin road, and intends building a substantial residence. *** THE bazaar in aid of the funds of the Frankston Band eventuates on Friday and Saturday next, afternoon and evening. The ladies’ committee has been hard at work, and all arrangements are being made for patrons. Mrs Jason Grice will perform the opening ceremony. *** THE friends of Mr G. May, of Frankston, will regret to learn of the death of his father, which occurred in Sydney on Wednesday last. The deceased was well known in Frankston, where he resided for a number of years. Sympathy is expressed on all sides for the bereaved family. *** PLEASING reference was made at the last meeting of Mornington Peninsula Football Association to the sterling qualities, as a footballer and citizen, of Mr “Hughie” Carmichael, who was injured in the final match, and it was decided that a letter of sympathy from the Association be sent to him. It was also decided that a letter thanking Major Campbell for the use of his car when accidents occurred, and for his assistance to the Association generally, be sent. *** AT the meeting in connection with
the Peninsula Water Scheme, held on Thursday of last week, at Frankston, it was stated by a gentleman that a deal of the opposition to the scheme by some of the ratepayers was caused through the councillors knowing more about the scheme than the people, owing to no mention being made in the “Standard” of the engineer’s progress. This statement is not correct, as since August of last year mention has been made in the council reports of the Engineer’s progress, as reported to the council, on no fewer than eight times in the reports of the August. September, December, January, February. March, May and June council meetings. Our file is open for inspection to anyone who wishes for verification of this statement. *** THE annual meeting of the Mornington Branch of the A.W.N.L. was held in the library on Wednesday, August 13th, when the following ladies were re-elected for the ensuing year: President Mrs Murphy, vicepresidents Mesdames Cook and Brest and Miss Downward, secretary Miss N. Barrett, treasurer Mrs Noble. There are about 60 subscribers, but not all of them attended on the above date. Several sent their annual subscription. The secretary reported that good work had been done at the late elections, and the treasurer presented the balance sheet showing an income of £4 7s 9d, and an expenditure of £3 9s 3d, leaving a credit balance of 18s 6d. A sum of £1 was sent to Head Office as a donation, and 5s to “The Woman,” a small paper supported by subscriptions.

Awesome rise of the half-back flanker By Stuart McCullough WHEN you’ve played sport at the elite level, certain instincts never leave you. I pulled on the maroon jumper of the Tyabb “Yabbies” Football Club from under-9s all the way through to under-15s when I retired. I thought then as now that it’s better to leave when you’re still on top. But as comfortable as I was with my decision to retire from the game to which I gave so much, occasionally I am beset with second, third and even fourth thoughts. Truth is, though, it’s too late for me to change my mind, especially given my position of half-back flank has long since been filled. There’s very little footage of me during my playing days. I suspect the highlights would more likely feature the annual pie night than some kind of spectacular grab. I remember being cold, falling over in mud and the occasional victory, although I can’t recall ever singing the club’s theme song. I do, however, remember the oranges. I’ve never been a big fan of citrus and I suspect my retirement owed a lot to the club’s reluctance to replace the oranges with a fruit platter as I had suggested. I’m convinced that we’d have won more games if, at three-quarter time, the players had their choice of honeydew melon or papaya. It wasn’t to be. It’s been years since I attended a junior football match. It always seemed a little too soon. But despite any personal anguish, I agreed to see my nephew Jake play his under-13s game last Sunday. It was an away match and seating
was either in the form of concrete steps below the clubhouse or parking your car along the fence. The latter gave you the option of tooting your horn to signal your approval or disapproval, while the former gave you chronically frozen buttocks. When we arrived at the ground, the home
team was ensconced in the clubhouse, no doubt preparing some last-minute strategy to defeat my nephew and his friends. Suddenly, I heard voices singing as the unmistakable sound of the song Happy Birthday drifted out. It was then I realised what my nephew was
up against. There was obviously a level of genius at work – by having Happy Birthday as their club theme song, they’d cunningly ensured that everybody knew the lyrics. Clearly, this team would take some beating. The oval itself was remarkable. Traditionally, football grounds are flat but not this one. There was a distinct curve that peaked in the middle before tapering off on either side. It meant that if you were standing in the goal square at one end, you’d have a significant difficulty seeing what was happening at the other. Granted, in terms of drainage, I’m sure the ground holds its own against any of the world’s major stadia, but it was disconcerting to see the players disappear over the far side of the incline. Then there was the matter of the wind. I know some people hold concerns about wind farms being set up along the coastline to harness nature’s fury as a way of generating electricity. However, if the push is on to harness the wind, we should forget about the coast and plonk a few turbines on the oval, probably over near the wing. In fact, the wind was so severe that each team had trouble scoring at the far end. To see youngsters kick the ball toward the goal only to have it curve back and fly over their heads courtesy of a gale was dispiriting. It can be intimidating at another team’s home ground. For me, I knew things were particularly rough when the umpire’s escort was armed. As it turns out, this was just as well as there was plenty of rough stuff on display,
with all manner of unprovoked pushing and shoving and eye gouging. That said, once I’d bought my chips and left the kiosk, things were much better. Back on the field, Jake was doing a sterling job. As the ball flew past him, he took off in hot pursuit, leaving the opposition player looking flat-footed. The ball tumbled over the boundary line and Jake eased up, only to have his opponent push him in the back and into the mud. Before I quite knew what was happening, the words, “Hey number 12, you just breached your parole” were exiting my mouth. It’s probably wrong to trash-talk opposition players at an under-13s football match, but I couldn’t help myself. The parents of the home team were none too impressed, with some of them giving up their spot in the kiosk queue solely to remonstrate with me. But things didn’t end there. Something I hadn’t felt in a long time suddenly returned to me. Before I knew what was happening, I was striding onto the field, ready to take my place at half-back flank. Impervious to the protests of the umpires, I took special care to knock over number 12. If I had anything to do with it, there was no way he and his team was going to by singing Happy Birthday that afternoon… I regret to say that I have since been suspended from playing any further junior football. Perhaps it’s just as well. After all, it’s always better to quit whilst you’re ahead, even if you’ve no choice in the matter. Besides, I still don’t care much for oranges. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Diesel back for a Frankston fling By Haydn Godony SINCE bursting onto the music scene in the late 1980s Mark Lizotte, more affectionately known as Diesel, has released more than a dozen albums and established a reputation as one of Australia’s finest live performers. Over the decades, Diesel has performed in Frankston as part of Jimmy Barnes’ band on the Freight Train Heart tour, supported United States legend Roy Buchanan not long before he died, and more than once with his own bands including The Injectors. His current Velvet Curtain tour includes a show at Frankston Arts Centre. “The saddest thing about the Buchanan gig was that he died soon after, I think in jail,” Diesel said. “Not long after that, things just exploded for us as a band. We did a lot gigs and a lot of travelling up and down the Hume Highway. “I’ve got an album that has just dropped, on August 9, called Let It Fly. It’s my first studio album since 2008, although there’s been a blues record and a record that mapped my guitar influences in between, so to get this record finally out is a real relief.” Diesel composed part of the musical soundtrack for the television series Bikie Wars. Although, notwithstanding a photogenic appearance, he has no inclination to place himself in the camera’s eye. “I’m very reluctant to be a muso that ‘has a go’ at acting because most of them have failed terribly, to put it bluntly, so it’s a kind of a no-go zone for me. But the funny thing is that a lot of top actors want to be musicians, that’s what’s weird,” he said.
Diesel loves the auditorium shows. “Venues like Frankston Arts Centre are ideal for what I’m doing on this solo tour. It’s just me on stage with a bunch of different guitars with different tunings and stuff. The show is fairly free-range. I don’t even really have a set list, I just see what the audience is feeling like and I pull it out of thin air from there, which is more fun. “So I don’t limit myself to sitting on a stool with an acoustic guitar and get all introspective, I approach it like a band show. It gets loud; without giving away too much, it’s an encompassing show. “I use the venue to its best because there is a lot of subtle little things you can do with a voice and a guitar that you can’t really get across very well at a pub gig. “A lot of my songs are fundamentally blues songs, when you take away ‘the production’ and whatever stylings there are. My songs, thankfully, are living and breathing. They’re open to interpretation and I interpret them a lot of different ways. Even songs like Tip of My Tongue, I still find fresh ways of playing it. “I feel like I’m just ‘looking after’ my songs, even though I wrote them. Ultimately I feel like the curator or the caretaker of songs like Cry In Shame and Come To Me. Diesel performs at Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday 21 September.

scoreboard Sharks book appointment with
Stonecats after come from behind win PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly BONBEACH overcame a slow start to run over the top of Mt Eliza in the Peninsula League Qualifying Final on Saturday at Frankston Park. The Sharks trailed by five points at three quarter time before booting eight goals to two in the final quarter to record a comfortable 17.19.121 to 12.10.82 victory. Bonbeach will now play Frankston YCW this weekend in the Second Semi Final, while Mt Eliza will tackle Edithvale-Aspendale after they beat Mornington in a thriller in the Elimination Final on Sunday at Pines. Mt Eliza jumped out of the blocks extremely well and led the Sharks by 15 points at quarter time and 25 points at half time. James Freeman, teenage son of former St Kilda defender Peter Freeman, was causing some headaches for the Sharks in attack with four goals and Josh Norman was dominating through
the middle. Norman was also getting forward and kicking goals, which was a significant problem. Nick Cattanach, who was playing only his 13th senior game for the season, was also playing a great game and Will Crowder and Zellec White were also proving to be a handful for the Sharks. During the half time break, the Bonbeach brains trust needed to reassess. Coach Steve Capp said he thought his team were in the game in the first half but just “butchered the footy”. Our tackling was great, our pressure was up where I wanted it to be and our inside 50’s were good too but we were just sloppy with the football,” Capp said. “We just kept turning the footy over. It had something to do with the Mt Eliza pressure but I thought it was more about us than them . “We just needed to get back to man-on-man footy and winning the contested footy. In the second quarter
I just felt we were standing off them a bit and letting them roll through. “We moved Foster onto Freeman, who was killing us, and sent Matthew Batten into the forward line to try and give us something there. “We were always confident that we would come home strong and with better ball use in the second half, things turned our way,” Capp said. Bonbeach booted 14 goals to five in the second half, completely outclassing Mt Eliza in the end. Calhan McQueen finished with five goals for the Sharks and Shane McDonald kicked three, while Dylan Jones in the ruck and Mark Tyrell dominated. Although the Sharks are confident in their ability to come home hard, Capp said they couldn’t make a habit of it for the remainder of the season. “It’s great to know you can come back but we can’t keep giving away starts,” Capp said. Edithvale-Aspendale kicked two goals in two minutes to turn a one

point deficit into an 11-point win. Outplayed for the majority of the afternoon, Edithvale was able to stick close enough with Mornington to make a charge at the end. The Doggies led at every change and at no stage, other than the last quarter, did the Eagles lead. The lead changed hands a couple of times in the last quarter, Craig Wray kicking one on the run for the Eagles to put them in the front for the first time at the 15-minuite mark. Aiden Speedy then received a 50m penalty from the umpire, got taken to the square and put Mornington back in front by the smallest of margins. In a see-sawing battle in the last 10 minutes, Mornington coach Stuey Seagar got caught holding the ball and Jordan Derbyshire kicked a point to level the scores. The result looked to be going Mornington’s way when Jackson Calder marked from 35 metres. He could only muster a behind. The Eagles cleared the ball from
the danger zone, teenager Bailey Dale received a slick handball and kicked a bouncing goal with a minute left of the clock. Then, Timmy Mannix left some of his best magic for the end, when he intercepted a ball, bounced his way inside 50m, then snapped on the right boot to seal the match. Bailey Dale was exceptional for the Eagles and clearly one of the best players on the ground. His courage kept the Eagles in the game. Mark Mullins in defence was one of his side’s best and his intercept marking against bigger opponents was superb. For the Doggies, Daniel Moss and James Cameron were clearly two of their better players, while Byron Holt was very good in the ruck. The big eyebrow raiser in the match was former Eagle Nathan Dunn running around. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Dunn but he was superb and really provided something for them in attack.

Tigers fight back to sink Sharks, Buds ground Bombers NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly DROMANA pulled off one of the best fighting victories in local footy history on Saturday, in the Nepean league second semi final against Sorrento, advancing to the grand final. Trailing by 28 points at the 10 minute mark of the last quarter and being totally outplayed by Sorrento, Dromana somehow kicked the last five goals of the match to win by a point. The Tigers had no right to win the game, given they had two players on the interchange bench that couldn’t come back on the ground. However, the Tigers’ fighting spirit and never-say-die attitude when the game looked lost willed them over the line. Sorrento won in the ruck, won the contested footy, had 12 more inside 50’s for the match and smashed the Tigers in the clearances. The Shark’s back line also gave Dromana’s forwards a footy lesson. But with their backs to the wall, the Tigers willed themselves back into contention and edged their way closer as the clock wound down. Daniel Waddell, who finished with four goals for Dromana and was clearly their best forward, kicked a goal to put them within five points after a holding the ball decision in the goal square. Then, Daniel Guerts, also one of his team’s best, swooped on a Sorrento turnover up against the boundary from 45m to put the Tigers in front. The Sorrento crowd had stopped
watching the game at the 12 minute mark and started socialising with their backs to the play. As far as they were concerned, the Sharks were through to the grand final. Who could blame them? The Sharks were well on top in the third quarter and appeared as though they were going to blow the Tigers away. The midfield of Cayden Beetham and James Hallahan was combining well with Scott Cameron and Ryan Jeffrey in the ruck, Troy Schwarze was rebounding from half back and
the delivery to Ben Schwarze and Leigh Poholke was first class. Players like Nick Warner, Kayle Stronger-Morris and Tyrren Head were also starting to get plenty of the footy. The Dromana forward line was dysfunctional, its forward six just not working hard enough to present and work up the ground. The Sharks kicked six goals to three in the third quarter and led by 21 points at the last change. Dromana coach Gavin Artico
wanted one last effort in the final quarter. “I just urged them not to concede. They looked like they were conceding defeat in that third quarter and I wanted them to keep running, keep pushing, keep fighting,” Artico said. “I thought that if we could hang in the game for long enough, our fitness and hunger could get us over the line. “I was always confident that we would have the ability to run the game out to the end – it proved to be the case.” The margin should have been 27 points at three quarter time, however, league legend Guy Stringer gave away a free kick and then a 50m penalty which resulted in a Paul Minchington goal after the siren. The Sharks kicked the first goal in the last term to stretch the margin back out to 28 points, before the Dromana revival. Of the best ten players on the ground, Sorrento had the large majority of them. However, Dromana’s best were significant. Ryan Slocombe worked his backside off throughout the match and his influence in the last quarter was match-defining. Waddell helped out the defence in the third quarter when it was under siege, Terry Wheeler had 26 possessions and the Guerts brothers, Sam and Daniel, were instrumental in keeping the Tigers in the game early. Shaun Clarke was also at the bottom of every pack and ran forward and provided drive for the Tigers. It’s big men were well beaten. Luke
O’Neil and Michel Falconer were beaten by Cameron and had no influence around the ground. Stuart Cleeve had a day he would rather forget and needs to produce something special for the grand final. Sorrento will need to front up again this week against Rosebud, who got the job done against Frankston Bombers on Sunday. The Bombers kicked their way out of the contest in the opening half, booting 2.10 to 6.4 in the opening hour. The margin was 18 points at half time and the final margin was 25, the Buds winning 13.8.86 to 8.13.61. The Bombers had a shocking end to the season, losing its final four matches. Greg Bentley was absolutely superb for the Buds with three goals in a best on ground performance, while Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft provided outstanding run all afternoon. Sam Kremeich continues to do the job for his team in defence and Matty Payne and Jack Jarman were also instrumental in the win. It was a sad day for the Bombers, who farewelled Haydn Moore, who retired during the week. It is also believed that Ryan and Nathan Lonie have also played their last game for the club, while rumours persist that Brian O’Carroll is also contemplating taking a break from the game. Shaun Wilkey and coach Duncan Proud worked hard for the Bombers and Allan Williams was also a fine contributor. Zac Longham finished with three goals. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Noble gesture leads to Mornington success SOCCER
Sour celebration: Mornington senior coach Adam Jamieson was upset by Noble Park’s second goal. Picture: Darryl Kennedy
By Craig MacKenzie AN AMAZING act of sportsmanship enabled Mornington to win its State 2 South-East away clash with Noble Park United 3-2 on Saturday. Mornington was leading 2-1 in the second half when a penalty claim by the home side went unheeded by the referee. A Noble Park United player was left sprawled on the ground and sportingly Mornington goalkeeper Ryan Scott played the ball into touch to allow the player to receive treatment. When Noble Park took the throw-in to restart the game it threw the ball to one its midfielders, Brodie Paterson, who was expected to gently lob it back to Scott. Whether or not Paterson ignored that protocol is uncertain, however the ball flew past a startled Scott and nestled into the corner of the Mornington net to make it 2-2. Paterson then celebrated his goal much to the disgust of the Mornington bench. “Yeah, he carried on like an idiot so I gave him a mouthful,” said Mornington senior coach Adam Jamieson. The Noble Park bench was similarly dismayed and instructed the home team to sit back at the restart and allow Mornington to score what was to be the winning goal. The entire Noble Park team obliged. “We all agreed that it was the decent thing to do,” said Noble Park United coach Jamie Skelly. “The committee and all our supporters were fully behind our decision. “The great irony in all of this is that when I coached Peninsula Strikers a similar thing happened against Mornington in the Mirabella Cup.” Jamieson approached Paterson after the match and they resolved their differences. “I went up to him after the game and told him that he was a better player than that and there are no grudges held for what happened,” said Jamieson. Paterson’s uncle Jamie is a former Mornington player and remains heavily involved with the local club’s junior program.

How to bag a snapper
FUNCTION CENTRE WE SPECIALISE IN CATERING FOR: Weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries & Business Meetings
By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro THE lengthy period of wind has put a dampener on fishing. It’s a very rare occurrence and hopefully the law of averages applies and we get some calm and sunny weather. Each year on the eve of AFL finals, avid anglers prepare for the change of season. The passing of football to snapper season in Victoria is legendary. It marks the changing of character in many people. Devoted husbands, wives, staff, family and colleagues become illusive, distant, distracted and absent as they recommit themselves to the “religion” of snapper fishing. Tides, barometer and moon phases are analysed and baits and rigs prepared. Snapper is the iconic fish of the region and each year anglers chase the dream of bagging a big red. For those looking to catch an early season snapper, here are a few tips: 1. Fish two hours either side of the tide change. 2. Use as light a sinker as possible. 3. Fish with running sinker rigs and always have at least one rod with a flasher rig. 4. Be patient. 5. Use fresh baits if possible. Early season snapper like oily baits such as pilchards, sauries,

salmon and squid. 6. Use burley to bring the fish on the bite. Early season burly should be more of a mist than a chum. 7. Fish when there’s a high or rising barometer. Hot spots for early season snapper include Mornington, Carrum, St Kilda and Mt Eliza in Port Phillip. In Western Port, try Joes Island, Eagle Rock, Lysaghts, Cowes and Stony Point. Landlocked anglers can target snapper from piers at Mornington, St Kilda, Mordialloc and Stony Point. Rock fishos use the rocky
cliffs from Mt Martha to Mornington. Remember that this time of year can bring sudden squalls and big storms so play it safe on the water and check the weather before you depart.
