Relay raises the money

MORE than 1500 people took part in the weekend’s Mornington Peninsula Relay For Life at Mornington Secondary College. “It was wonderful to see so many peninsula residents get together for a great cause and, despite exhaustion, keep the spirit that is Relay For Life for the entire 18 hours,” committee chairman Colin Lane said. Food vendors, live bands and fireworks kept teams and spectators motivated. “The 2013 Mornington Peninsula Relay For Life would have not have gone ahead without the support of Royal Australian Navy volunteers who assisted with fundraising and, most importantly, provided manpower to set up,” Mr Lane said. The event raised more than $78,000 for Cancer Council Victoria. “The funds will be valuable in the fight against cancer providing much-needed funds for research,” he said. “Next year we aim to raise more than $100,000 and register more than 70 teams.”

Hotel assault claim By Jo Winterbottom MORNINGTON police will review CCTV and mobile phone images of an incident outside the Bay Hotel amid claims and counter-claims of assault by patrons, bouncers and police. Police said 25-year-old Nick Derek Walter of Frankston South would be charged on summons with resisting arrest and assaulting policed after the violent exchange in Main St, Mornington, about 1am Sunday. Mr Walter claims he was assaulted

by hotel security guards and police but has not made an official complaint. At least one of the bouncers involved has been struck off the payroll of the hotel after he was captured on a mobile phone video punching Mr Walter. Mr Walter told The News he may have “accidentally kicked” one police officer when he went into “survival mode” after being handcuffed. When first contacted by The News yesterday, Mornington police said the weekend in Mornington had been quiet and incident-free. When later

asked about the fight outside the hotel, The News was referred to the police media unit, which issued a statement saying Mr Walter would be charged by summons later this week. The statement read: “Police have been told the man was refused entry into the venue and was being moved on by security when he allegedly pushed one of them in the chest just before 1am. “Passing Mornington police have stopped to assist and arrested the man with help from security.

allegedly resisted arrest as he was being placed in the van. During the arrest, one of the police members suffered a minor injury to the face and was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment.” A bystander who filmed the incident on a mobile phone posted the video on Facebook on Sunday, triggering discussion about the frequency of violent altercations between patrons and bouncers at Mornington venues. The video is wobbly at times, but it clearly shows Mr Walter arguing with security staff and being dragged to the

ground on Main St by one bouncer while being punched by another. Bay Hotel licensee and manager Anthony Dawe said the bouncer had overreacted and would no longer be working for the hotel. “The security guard did the wrong thing; it is not the way we do things,” Mr Dawe said. “I don’t accept the actions of that guard, but there was a lot that went on before the person started recording the video that was posted on the internet.” Continued Page 6

Weaving a bit of Archibald magic By Mike Hast HUGO Weaving might not have visited Mornington but a painting of the actor two metres tall and almost as wide will be the centrepiece of the travelling exhibition of finalists in the Archibald Prize at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery from 8 June to 7 July. The Archibald Prize was announced at the Art Gallery of NSW last Friday and Del Kathryn Barton’s watercolour, gouache and acrylic on canvas of Weaving took out the $75,000 first prize. Barton won in 2008 with a selfportrait that also featured her two children. Her win last week was only the ninth by a woman in the 92-year history of the prize. There were 868 entries in this year’s Archibald, 29 more than last year, and 41 paintings by finalists will come to Mornington. Barton’s hugo took five months to complete. She used thousands of dots to create a portrait of Weaving in a white shirt holding a wild cat with leaves of a weeping lilly-pilly and root systems spiralling around him. The artist reportedly said: “More than anything I hoped to portray a sincere, deep, generous and creative soul.’’ Other shortlisted paintings coming to Mornington include runner-up Fio-

na Lowry’s work of video artist Shaun Gladwell; Wendy Sharpe’s Anything goes, an arresting painting of burlesque performer Venus Vamp; Julie Dowling’s painting of Wilfred Hicks; and David Griggs’s image of Australian artist TV Moore. News of the travelling Archibald Prize paintings coming to the gallery in Mornington was revealed exclusively in The News last August. The 2012 exhibition was at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Healesville and brought an estimated $4 million and 50,000 people to the town in the Yarra Valley. The Mornington show will attract art lovers from around the state and Melbourne, and bring millions of dollars to the peninsula’s economy. Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery will be the only Victorian gallery to host the Archibald exhibition. The gallery was established in 1969 by the Shire of Mornington as Mornington Peninsula Arts Centre. Its first home was a house in Vancouver St, Mornington, later demolished and now a car park behind the library and shire office. It moved to the council-owned, Victorian-era house Oak Hill on Mornington-Tyabb Rd in 1971. The gallery in Civic Reserve was built in 1991 and opened by then premier John Cain.

Oak Hill is now a community art gallery. One of the driving forces behind the gallery in 1969 was artist, art critic and author Alan McCulloch of Shoreham, who was its director 1979-1992. As has occurred at TarraWarra, the exhibition in Mornington will present major logistical challenges. Mornington Peninsula Shire and the gallery will likely use shuttle buses from distant parking areas to cope with the thousands of visitors, and marquees will be erected in the grounds to service patrons. Last year’s exhibition in Healesville saw long queues of people waiting to enter the gallery.  Also announced on Friday was the Wynn Prize for landscape, won by Imants Tillers for Namatjira, and the Sulman Prize, won by Victoria Reichelt for After (Books).

Assault claims being checked Continued from Page 3

He said Mr Walter had been repeatedly refused entry to the hotel nightclub because he was believed to be drunk and was evicted by bouncers when he tried to jump a security barrier. He alleged Mr Walter hit one of the bouncers working on the door. Mr Walter told The News he was not drunk, saying he had had “about four” drinks at another bar in Main St before attempting to enter the Bay Hotel. He said he did not hit any bouncer. “I have never intentionally hit anyone in my life,” he said. “I am the victim here and I’m being told I’m the bad guy.”

Mr Dawe said it was the first such incident in the five years he had managed the hotel, but conceded there was a problem with drunken revellers in Mornington. “Anyone who gets kicked out of any other venue congregates outside the Bay,” he said. While he was required by law to employ six security guards, he regularly employed up to 15 on a Saturday night. “My priority is to make people safe and with more guards on it helps,” he said. The traffic on a social networking site yesterday and on Sunday painted

a different picture, with claims of frequent fights at licensed venues in Mornington in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday. Acting Senior Sergeant Karl David, who was in charge at Mornington yesterday, said he was unable to comment on the incident as he was usually posted at Rosebud. He confirmed police would review all video footage of Sunday morning’s incident, including the mobile phone footage. Mr Dawes said the Bay Hotel had given police video footage from all its security cameras.

Out of the Woodland and into the trees By Mike Hast IT’S been 10 years in the making – creating the planning muscle for Mornington Peninsula Shire to restrict subdivision to protect neighbour character in the Woodland precinct of Mt Eliza. Woodland (no “s”) is the area of leafy, big blocks bounded by Nepean Highway, Humphries Rd, Moorooduc Highway and Canadian Bay Rd. The shire council is heading for the last lap of a marathon, with councillors expected to run past the bell in midApril. They have already been briefed about (and presumably read) an independent panel report and its findings, the second panel to look at what has been a vexatious issue that has seen state and federal politicians involved. Woodland properties are the kinds of places where you can bring up a tribe of active kids, maybe collect something big like cars or grow a garden to delight Costa Georgiadis. Here are big backyards of the Australian dream; 1700 blocks of about 2600 square metres (two-thirds of an acre in the old measure) with some up to 4000sqm. In 2003 the shire started receiving requests from Woodland owners to subdivide. It proposed a planning amendment, known as C87, to define minimum block sizes. The government would have to approve the change. There has been majority support from Woodlandians for this but the matter has created lots of heat. Two groups were formed – Mt Eliza Woodland Residents Association and Growing Our Community. Can you guess

which way they lean? The residents association is against subdivision. The cleverly named Growing Our Community is for it. There have been two attempts to set mandatory, or prescriptive, controls. C87 was thrown out by then Labor Planning Minister Justin Madden in December 2009 after it had sat on his desk for more than two years having gone through the council, residents, government bureaucrats and the first planning panel. Mr Madden said enshrining minimum block sizes was bad planning, his view reflecting town planning philosophy of the past decade or so. There’s been a change from prescriptive to so-called performance-based planning laws. Rather than set actual square metres and other defined limits (prescriptive), state and local government planners prefer to assess requests in a so-called more wholistic manner, taking into account a wider range of criteria and existing conditions. The shire restarted the process in March 2011 when it asked Liberal Planning Minister Matthew Guy (who became part of the Baillieu government elected four months before) to reconsider the issue. So C162, the sibling of C87, was conceived. The panel report is now with the shire but there might be a problem – the panel recommends corner blocks and other blocks with dual street frontages can be subdivided. Mornington MP David Morris, who is closely involved with the Woodland issue, says the panel’s recommenda-

tion about corner blocks “will be the sticking point”. “It’s an unnecessary condition [allowing subdivision of corners]. I hope the council stands up and changes it,” he said. Mr Morris said he supported the panel report but “with the corner blocks the same” minimum size as all other blocks. Former Mt Eliza Ward councillor Leigh Eustace became involved in Woodland in late 2008 when he was first elected. He has written to all councillors offering his opinion on the panel report. “My involvement has included discussions with many residents both for and against subdivision, studying all submissions, touring Woodland and attending the C162 panel hearings,” he said. Mr Eustace’s letter covers the right to subdivide, the panel’s call for subdivision of corner lots, high fences on corner lots and colours of new houses. “There is no right to subdivide in Australian planning law,” he said. “The shire’s interim green wedge management plan states: ‘It is not simply a matter for individual landowners to decide that they no longer wish to retain a “large” property – the peninsula represents a pool of lots suitable for many purposes – but it depends on people moving when their situation changes – not simply reducing all lots to a “manageable” size as people continue to age.” Mr Eustace said he disagreed with the panel on subdividing corner lots. “Corner lots are the gateway to resi-

dential streets and stamp the neighbourhood character of the area,” he said. “To allow subdivision will clutter street corners. You can end up with three of the four corners having two dwellings but the greatest impact on the streetscape is the presence of high fences.” He said grey should be added to the list of allowable house colours and beige removed. “Light coloured houses are too prominent.” More than 420 submissions to C162 were received by the independent panel. The panel’s report sets minimum lot sizes of 2000sqm and 1300sqm on corner blocks.

The recommendations are unlikely to satisfy either Woodland group and there is no certainty the council will agree to the 1300sqm corner block limit on about 94 properties. The shire wanted minimum lot sizes of 2500sqm for properties not on corners. There are 124 blocks of about 4000sqm and 96 of about 5000sqm. Block size was set many years ago when the area was unsewered. Planners decided big blocks were needed so septic tanks functioned properly in the poor soil that did not allow dispersion. Other panel recommendations support stronger vegetation controls in the heavily treed precinct and greater enforcement of planning controls.

Whales show up early RESEARCHERS are excited and confused by early sightings of whales in Port Phillip and Western Port. Dolphin Research Institute executive director Jeff Weir said whales usually showed up in June “so this is quite extraordinary – but then again so is 25 degrees in Mornington harbour”. Mr Weir said the first report of whale off Seaford “sounded more like a false killer whale”. Since then reports of a humpback whale have come from sailors at Somers and Balnarring. “One of the people from Somers Yacht Club seems very knowledgeable about humpbacks. We also had a reliable sighting of a humpback some days ago off Cowes,” Mr Weir said.

“So I’m inclined to conclude that it was a humpback. Very unusual. “We don’t normally see humpbacks here until the first week of June. So this is quite extraordinary. “Reports of an animal that sounds like a false killer whale off Seaford were also received. This is both exciting and confusing, especially about the humpback, which we normally don’t see until June. “Eighteen months ago DRI researchers made the first observations this far south of a competitive pod of humpback whales off Mt Martha. “If could be that we are beginning to see a number of firsts – just like the record weather patterns and temperatures in Port Phillip.”

Fine over pool safety fence Going, going, gone: Workers remove one of eight pylons of the Arthurs Seat chairlift on Wednesday last week during the day closure of Arthurs Seat Rd. The chairlift will be taken to South Australia and set up in the Adelaide Hills. Picture: Yanni

Chairlift taken down

By Mike Hast THE Arthurs Seat chairlift was removed on Wednesday last week and now lies in a Dromana storage yard awaiting transport to Adelaide. Its removal brings to an end a long and sometimes bitter battle between Richard Hudson, who has owned the chairlift for more than 30 years, and the state government’s WorkSafe Authority and Parks Victoria. The chairlift troubles started on 3 January 2003 when one of eight pylons collapsed, sending about a dozen people to hospital and stranding many of the 50 people aboard, some for up to six hours. A WorkSafe investigation found the collapse was caused by corrosion and fatigue in two anchor bolts at the pylon base. Mr Hudson was ordered to make repairs so he designed and built eight

new pylons as well as replacing running gear and installing a new cable. The incident made international news and led WorkSafe to inspect all chairlifts in Victoria, most of which are in the snowfields. The chairlift reopened on 7 January 2004 but in March an elderly woman’s legs were crushed when her chair slid down the cable and collided with one in front. WorkSafe again closed the ride. Mr Hudson said during a subsequent court case that the chairlift had been sabotaged. He was fined $110,000 in the County Court. The chairlift was allowed to reopen in October 2004 and operated without incident until 16 May 2006 when a cable malfunction stranded people. No one was injured but WorkSafe closed it again and it has never reopened. Mr Hudson has been battling Work-

Safe imposing Canadian chairlift technical regulations, which he and experts say do not suit the design of the Arthurs Seat chairlift, as well as Parks Victoria over the lease. The winding road up Arthurs Seat was closed between 9.30am and 3.30pm to enable Mr Hudson and his team to remove the 6.5-tonne cable as well as eight pylons, several of which are close to the winding road. The cable was fitted with attachments that allowed it to be dragged along the ground once it had been lifted off pulleys. It was cut at pylon No 4 about halfway up the 950-metre chairlift and rolled onto giant spools. Pylons closest to the road were removed first as VicRoads wanted minimum road closure. Mr Hudson said the 11-metre tall pylons weighed just over a tonne each.

A MT Martha property owner has been fined $30,000 over a non-compliant swimming pool safety fence. It is the highest of three fines imposed by courts in Victoria this year in relation to swimming pool and spa safety fences. Two companies and their directors were fined $20,600 and $14,700 for failing to ensure the spas at their Hepburn Springs and Daylesford properties had approved safety barriers. In the latest case, the Building Commission prosecuted Anthony Knight in

Pottery show DROMANA Potters Group’s annual exhibition will be held over the Easter long weekend in the Old Shire of Flinders Hall, Point Nepean Rd, Dromana. It is open 10am-4pm on Saturday 30 March and Sunday 31 March as well as 10am-1pm on Monday 1 April. Details: Kathy Coffey, 0418 128 267.

Tea for many THE ninth Melbourne Teapot Exhibition was opened on Saturday by ceramicist Kevin Boyd at The Studio @ Flinders Gallery, 65 Cook St, Flinders. The exhibition features functional and sculptural teapots from the sublime to the frivolous and opens 10am-5pm until 14 April. Details: 5989 0077.

Frankston Magistrates’ Court for failing to comply with a building order to make the safety barrier of a swimming pool at his Mt Martha property compliant with the Building Act 1993. Building Commissioner Greg Hyams said Mr Knight had failed to comply with a building order “despite being given adequate opportunity to do so”. “In mid-June 2012 the building surveyor issued Mr Knight with a building order that required him to make the safety barrier compliant within 30 days,” Mr Hyams said. “When the property was inspected again, during October last year, our inspector found that the building order had not been obeyed and the safety barrier remained non-compliant. As a result, the commission launched a prosecution against Mr Knight. “I hope this penalty highlights the importance of everyone ensuring their pool or spa safety barrier is compliant, as it could be the difference between life and death,” Mr Hyams said. Magistrate F J Holzer acknowledged that some effort had been made to fence the pool, although in a noncompliant manner. He said public policy and safety concerns meant it was important to send a strong message about the dangers of non-compliant swimming pool safety barriers. There was a risk to young children, particularly as the property was sometimes rented as a holiday house.

Shire’s works contract goes out for $190m Surf line-up: Peter Wilkinson, left, Paul Trigger and Mick Pierce were among the Mornington Peninsula contingent at Bells Beach to celebrate with Surfing Victoria.

‘Pioneers’ take centre stage at Bells STAGE announcements and anecdotes about the 50 years of organised surfing in Victorian culminated in fine tradition on Sunday with about 30 surfers enjoying an “expression session” in the waves of Bells Beach near Torquay. Surfers from the Mornington Peninsula who had been involved in, first, the Victorian branch of the Australian Surfriders’ Association and then Surfing Victoria were at Bells to celebrate the organisation’s 50th anniversary.

Making the trip to the west coast were surf shop owner Ted Bainbridge, surfboard maker Mick Pierce, former ASA judge Peter Wilkinson, Ian Cochrane, Richard Porter, Gary Burns and surf shop owners Paul and Phil Trigger. Joining them and other surfing “pioneers” in the water after presentations were Terry Wall, Adam Robertson, Rod Brooks, Tony Ray, Nikki Van Dijk and Greg Brown. The celebration coincided with the Wingman Pre-trials, part of the selection process that will see a

Victorian surfer gain entry into the main event of the Easter Rip Curl Pro. “We have been running Pioneers Day for the past few years and the reception has been incredible,” Surfing Victoria CEO Max Wells said. “Many of our pioneers and former members don’t get the chance to catch up during the year, so this is a great opportunity for them to meet and also watch some of the best Victorian surfers battle it out for a spot in the Rip Curl Pro main draw.” Keith Platt

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has awarded expanded infrastructure maintenance contracts to Transfield Services. Transfield announced the contract last Tuesday, although the shire has not yet made a public statement. The decision is likely to see smaller contractors lose work from the shire. Graeme Hunt, Transfield’s managing director and chief executive, said the company would “continue its 15-year relationship with the …shire in three expanded 10-year contracts providing sustainable infrastructure maintenance services for $190 million”. “We are thrilled to be able to continue to apply our expertise in longterm asset management principles to the Mornington Peninsula Shire, in one of the company’s longest running relationships,” he said. Transfield would provide asset management and maintenance services for the shire’s $1.4 billion of assets including building, furniture, signs, parks and roadsides services, Mr Hunt said. “Customer service and community

engagement services will also be provided. “We look forward to building on the hard work already collaboratively achieved by the shire and our team, in order to protect the unique landscape of the area for many generations to come.” Transfield recently won a silver award from the Asset Management Council for its application of asset management principles with the shire. Transfield employs about 24,000 people across 20 industries and 11 countries. The shire first awarded its infrastructure maintenance services to Transfield in early 1997 when it disbanded its maintenance department. At a council meeting in April 1997, the shire’s contracts manager Peter Gore (now manager of recreation and leisure) said the Transfield contract was the biggest of its type to be awarded in Victoria and was valued at $9.7 million in the first year (1997-98).

Tags lead to arrests over school break-ins By Jo Winterbottom A GROUP of teenage vandals left their calling card for police at three schools where they caused thousands of dollars of damage. Senior Detective Alex Montgomery of Mornington crime investigation unit said graffiti tags made at the schools helped police track down the teenagers, who now face multiple charges of burglary, theft and criminal damage. Surveillance images were also used to identify the trio – a 13-year-old boy of Mt Eliza and two Mornington boys aged 15 and 16. Detective Montgomery said graffiti tags were like a signature left by vandals and police kept a database of common tags. He said the trio began their spree in the early hours of Sunday 24 February when five cars parked outside houses in the Dunns Rd area of Mornington were damaged. Police will allege the youths broke into the

cars, smashed windows and spraypainted graffiti on them. Later that week, on Wednesday 27 February, the group allegedly sprayed graffiti around Padua College. Osborne Primary School in Craigie Rd, Mt Martha, was the target during the early hours of Saturday 2 March and again the following Friday. The youths allegedly smashed a window to get into the tuckshop and caused about $3500 damage to the canteen and music room. At Mornington Secondary College on Monday 4 March, the damage was worse. Detective Montgomery said the boys broke into three buildings at the school, smashing 18 windows, spraying graffiti and damaging property. They then allegedly moved to the swimming centre at the school, smashing a large window and ransacking vending machines. The damage was estimated at about $4000. The three teens will appear in Frankston Children’s Court next month.

Harbour overtaken by storm WINDS of between 30-50 knots battered Mornington harbour last Thursday, forcing one yacht onto Shire Hall Beach and damaging a fishing charter boat. Installation of wave screens on the new section of the pier and replacement of the outer section with its screens canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come quickly enough for Bill and Lynda Hadlow, owners of Relax Go Fishing. Mr Hadlow and one his skippers, Casey Gibson, risked life and limb to get aboard Ultimate when its front mooring rope snapped under the buffeting of waves roaring into the harbour. The boat was swinging into the Hadlowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other charter boat Charisma, both moored at the fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jetty. When Ultimateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear rope also broke it was held by just a midship line. Ms Hadlow said about $10,000 of damage was sustained

by Ultimate with stress fractures created by the storm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here for 20 years and the planned protection of the harbour from northerlies canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come soon enough,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms Hadlow said they usually move their boats to Martha Cove when a big storm was predicted â&#x20AC;&#x153;but no one predicted 50 knots for 10 hoursâ&#x20AC;?. Fishing boat charter operator Paul Pingiaro said waves of up to five metres high were crashing over the top of the old, outside section of the pier. As reported in The News last week, work installing screens on the new, middle section is due to start soon and the condemned outer section will be removed and replaced with work starting this winter.

Brand new world for footy, netball By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Nepean Football League has changed its name to PCN Sports Alliance. PCN stands for Peninsula, CaseyCardinia and Nepean. CEO Jeff Jones says the change came after “a league review that focused on the relevance of the league’s branding in today’s sporting environment”. The change better reflects that the league has three divisions including Casey-Cardinia and that netball is now an integral part of the organisation. The change was created by the league and a Melbourne advertising

agency in a process that started last August. “All three leagues will now fall under the PCN banner but will have their own individual league names and logos, all similar in appearance but with a different colour scheme and encompassing both football and netball,” Mr Jones said. Netball came to the league in 2002 when Casey-Cardinia had six teams. “This year there will be 128 netball teams,” Mr Jones said. The women have topped the men, who play in 96 footy teams from 32 clubs. “The change will give communities a greater sense of attachment to the

Who’s who in the alliance PCN Sports Alliance is the controlling body of three football and netball leagues – Peninsula Football and Netball League (10 clubs), Casey Cardinia Football and Netball League (10 clubs) and Nepean Football and Netball League (12 clubs). There will be more than 6000 registered football and netballers competing each season with ages ranging from 13 to 40. The competitions and clubs are in six municipalities – Casey, Frankston, Kingston, Greater Dandenong, Mornington Peninsula and Cardinia. The six have a combined population of more than 850,000 people, 16 per cent of Victoria’s population. The websites are: www.peninsulafnl.com.au www.caseycardiniafnl.com.au www.nepeanfnl.com.au Each league will have its own social media platform with Facebook, Google and Twitter.

league in their area. “It was clearly identified that we govern football and netball in three very different geographic and demographic areas,” Mr Jones said. “The current MPNFL branding is not relevant at local community level. We established the marketing and promotion of the leagues needed to be increased and the community was looking for a sense of belonging, not only to their local club, but also to their local league. “Despite netball participation growing at five per cent each year, the netball name was missing. New logos will assist with the promotion of the leagues within their geographic areas. “The new brand allows us to actively look for an acquisition or joint partnership with other sporting organisations to provide them with a range of different services.” Mr Jones said new websites would enable people to access live scores and news. In the pipeline was having the football record available on smartphones each week and a live scores app. The websites are expected to go live later this week, he said. The alliance will film one game each week alternating between Peninsula and Nepean. It will be available on the internet each Wednesday. Mr Jones said every club could expect to be filmed. “We won’t just be filming first versus second.” Audio would come from Radio Port Phillip’s live call.

Footy time: With a new name for the league, peninsula football starts on Good Friday with Rye versus Rosebud in Nepean League and the grand final rematch the next day when premiers Sorrento take on Dromana. Peninsula League starts the following weekend. On Saturday, Langwarrin and Pearcedale (above) played for the Bushmans Cup, won by Langy by a handsome margin. Picture: Doug Farr

It’s footy time at last THE long wait for local footy is nearly over with traditional rivals Rye and Rosebud opening the Nepean League season on Good Friday at Rowley Reserve in Rye. The senior game starts at 2.15pm with the Under-18s kicking off the dew at 10.15am and the Reserves at midday. Next day, Easter Saturday, sees the much-anticipated grand final rematch between Sorrento and Dromana at MacFarlan Reserve in Sorrento. On Saturday 6 April, Peninsula League starts and the balance of Nepean League teams run onto the ground for their first games. Radio Port Phillip’s Footy Show with Andrew Kelly and Michael Voss starts the year this Saturday at 9am with the call of the game at 2pm.

Positioned for peace and quiet NESTLED well away from main roads, with hardly a sound to be heard but the rustles of gum trees and the chirp of the birds, this striking and handsome ranch-style home is set on a level one-hectare block. The home is double brick and is beautifully presented. A paved driveway leads up to a double tandem-length carport under the roof line of the home which, along with the wide verandahs, measures about 354-square metres (38 square). From this end of the home you enter into a large laundry, with other wet areas including a separate powder room and a main bathroom that would cater for two bedrooms further down the hall. A third bedroom is off the main open-plan living area, that also has tiled floors and features handy hideaway storage in one corner. There is air-conditioning and ducted heating throughout, with a pot-belly stove for cosy winter nights and with the double brick as an insulator, the home would be comfortable all year round. In addition to the casual living zone there is a splendid formal lounge and dining room - with open fire place - that can be closed off from the rest of the house. In between these two areas is the kitchen that has a dishwasher, walk-in pantry and an upright stove with gas hotplates connected to a gas cylinder outside. The kitchen looks out to a paved entertaining area that is surrounded by ferns. At the far end of the home is the main bedroom that has access to the verandah and also features a walk-through robe to a large ensuite that also has air-conditioning. The property has a host of external features that would please the tradesman or home business operator. There are several outbuildings, the largest of which is a two-room bungalow and a large steel shed with a concrete floor and power. There is dual access off Wellington Road and two paddocks could accommodate a few head of livestock. There are four water tanks with a total capacity of 45,000 litres. As clean as a whistle and perfectly presented, this tranquil and inviting homestead is a delight.

The Hastings Brass Band rendered selections before the concert and during the interval under the baton of Mr Spence, their turnout and performance being splendid. Cr Hodgins occupied the chair, a good programme was run through, the fancy dacing acts, conjuring. vocal and instrumental items being judiciously interspersed. Mrs M Carmichael acted as pianist in her usual capable manner. The secretary, Mr A. T. Denham, deserves great credit for his efforts to make it a success. *** A social and dance will be held on Wednesday April 16, 1913 at 8.30pm to celebrate the opening of the Crib Point Hall. *** AT the Sorrento court on Monday, the

24th March 1913, before Mssrs Macfarlane, Morgan and Cole, JP, a man named William Ryan was charged by Constable R. Brennan with behaving in an insulting manner, making use of obscene language, and resisting arrest, on the 22nd March. Accused pleaded guilty. Constable Brennan gave evidence that from a complaint made to him about 3.30 p.m., on the 22nd just he proceeded to the Mornington Hotel to make enquiries, and there saw accused in a fighting attitude apparently mad

from drink. He proceeded to arrest the accused. When on the roadway the accused used very bad language and continued to fight, kick and bite. A large crowd gathered and the defendant continued to behave like a madman. He was placed in a passing cart and taken to the watch house. He contnued to fight and use bad language on the way. The defendant said he had taken too much drink and did not remember

anything about the matter. Accuse I was fined 10s or 48 hours imprisonment for insulting behaviour, 20s or 7 days imprisonment for bad language, and 10s or 3 days’ imprisonment for resisting arrest. *** ONE of the oldest residents of the Peninsula, Mr James Bayne, died at Dr Weld’s private hospital, Dromana, on March 16th. Deceased was greatly respected. *** MR. A Aitkin well and favorably known in this district, is now recovering from the serious illness which has incapacitated him for the last fortnight. His host of friends will be glad to see him about again. *** THE postoned Emu Plains and Bittern races are to be held on Thursday April 24th, this date having been granted by the VRC.

At Flinders races and a previous match, Tired Tim has beaten Minrup twice and Minrup beaten Tired Tim once. At Emu Plains races in January, Minrup defeated Tired Tim twice, and at Droama on St Patricks Day, lively Tim was ahead of Minrup in both races. Registered racing is starting to find its feet on the Peninsula again. The Mornington club with £167 in hand is pretty ‘solid’, while Emu Plains races at the end of April should come out on the right side, as they are not flying too high for a start with the prize money.

*** THE second annual carnival of the Mornington swimming club was held at the Royal baths on Wednesday afternoon last, and although the weather was not very inticing for an afternoon in the water, a good number started in each of the 14 events, in which great interest was taken by the large number of spectators that were present. The offlicials carried out their work admirably and kept things moving the whole time. During the afternoon Miss Olga Bieri and Miss Clarie Kirkpatrick gave a very clever exhibition of fancy diving and swimming. At the conclusion of the programme the president, Mr E Ferber, presented the prizes to the winnners. ***

HISTORY

Who killed Jim Barclay? By Peter McCullough THIS is the title of one of a number of books written about the unsolved murders which occurred at Wonnangatta Station in Victoria’s high country in January, 1918. The mystery has close links to the Mornington Peninsula, and Hastings in particular. ***

Part one:

Who was Jim Barclay? James Barclay (or “Jim” as he was better known) was born in Hastings on 18th February, 1869. He was the fourth child of James and Mary Barclay who had come to Hastings in 1860: he had an older brother (John) and sisters (Jean and “Tossie”), and a younger sister (Molly). James Barclay senior, an immigrant from Scotland, had owned a fishing vessel named “Hero”and when he purchased land in Barclay Crescent, Hastings, in 1880 he built the family home and named it “Heroville.” The house was only demolished in 1996. Jim Barclay attended school in Hastings and had regular encounters with authority for fighting, and a minor case of arson in which the police were involved. Religion played a large part in the family life of the Barclays and was apparently a cause of friction between the devout James senior and his son. In 1883 Jim left school with a “certificate of a child being sufficiently educated” and worked at “Heroville” until 1886 when he departed to seek his fortune on the goldfields. Most of the next decade was spent around Mansfield although by 1897 Jim had moved from gold-prospecting to rural tasks such as sheep shearing and contract work such as post splitting. Ten years later he had leased land in the Howqua valley and trading in cattle had become an important part of his

life. Jim was highly regarded in the area for his skills as a bushman. In 1910 life changed for Jim Barclay when he married 19 year-old Lizzie Cantieni who had been living with Jim’s neighbours in Howqua, the Fry family. The civil ceremony held on 23rd December was not attended by

any member of the Barclay family, possibly due to the fact that Lizzie was 7 months pregnant at the time; in fact his family did not find out about the marriage for some years. Lizzie gave birth to a son on 22nd February, 1911 in Mansfield; christened James he was always known as “young Jim.” The joys of marriage and parenthood were to be short-lived for the couple as Lizzie died of a form of tuberculosis on 18th September, 1911. Jim Barclay was a tall man, with a strong physique and a reputation for his skill with horses and cattle. Burdened with a baby and no family within hundreds of miles, he turned to

the friends he had made in Mansfield and they, in turn, gave him support and assistance. However by 1914 young Jim had been sent to live with his aunt Molly and her husband (Jack Campbell) at Vermont. In 1912 Jim Barclay first visited the Wonnangatta valley when he called on the Bryce family in his capacity as a cattle trader. Meanwhile Jim did contract work for Arthur Phillips, the owner of Glenroy Station near Mansfield. When Phillips became the joint owner of Wonnangatta Station he sought out a capable manager: Jim Barclay was considered the ideal choice for the job because of his industry knowledge, his

PAGE 24

Mornington News 26 March 2013

association with the area, and Arthur Phillips’ trust in his skills and judgement. So in April, 1915 Jim Barclay became manager of Wonnangatta station. Where is Wonnangatta Station? Once described as “the most isolated homestead in Victoria”, the Wonnangatta Station was a cattle property located in the remote Wonnangatta River valley. Access was by horse or foot only. The nearest population centres were the goldfields towns of Talbotville, about 20 miles (32km.) away, Grant and Dargo to the south-east, and the larger town of Mansfield, about 80

miles (130km.) distant over the Great Dividing Range. The station had been established in the 1860’s by Oliver Smith, an American who came across the valley when prospecting for gold. Smith’s common-law wife Ellen and her son Harry joined him and a homestead was built near the junction of the Wonnangatta River and Conglomerate Creek. Ellen subsequently died in childbirth and Smith sold out to William Bryce, eventually returning to the United States. The Bryce family, which eventually included 10 children, then occupied the Station and built a new homestead; Ellen’s son, Harry, moved down the valley and established himself at Eaglevale. The Bryce family remained at Wonnangatta for over 40 years until Mrs. Bryce died at the age of 78 in 1914. The Mansfield owners then bought the property and installed Jim Barclay as manager.

Above: Jim’s wife Lizzie (nee Cantieni). She died aged 20. Top Right: Jim Barclay prior to taking up his appointment at Wonnangatta Station. Below: Young Jim Barclay with his uncle Jack Campbell.

What was the background to the murders? Jim Barclay led a solitary existence at Wonnangatta and his only close friend was Harry Smith at Eaglevale. By late 1917 he had convinced the owners (Phillips and Ritchie) that he needed a hired hand who could do general work around the property and also cook for the extra station hands needed during busier times such as cattle musters. Labour was in short supply because of the war and Barclay would have had little to choose from; on 14th December, 1917 61 year old John Bamford from Black Snake Creek (near Talbotville) started work. Bamford was not well regarded in the area where he had lived for 20 years: he was variously described as “surly”, having “a quick temper”,

and even being suspected of having murdered his wife. The storekeeper at Talbotville (Albert Stout) is known to have warned Barclay “not to be drawn into any arguments with Bamford.” Be this as it may, a stockman who visited Wonnangatta in December 1917 recalled that the two seemed to be on good terms. Barclay and Bamford were last seen

alive in late December 1917. They had been to Talbotville to cast their votes in the Reinforcement Referendum, the second of the two conscription referenda in Australia during the First World War. They stayed the night at Talbotville, before leaving for Wonnangatta early in the morning of 21st December. To be continued...

Poppy’s Problem-solving

NIA Robertson grew up on a dairy farm at St Marys in Tasmania. Her father Malcolm played guitar and taught Robertson at an early age. “Dad was a big country music country fan and took me to my first show when I was six at St Mary’s Community Hall where we saw Slim Dusty, Reg Lindsay and McKean Sisters; it was from that point I wanted to sing like Anne McKean,” she said. “The first song I sang in public was Teddy Bears Picnic at a St Mary’s school concert. Mum loved pop like T. Rex, Led Zeppelin, etc. In my early teens I sang in a rock band as I always wanted to be like Pat Benatar.” These days Robertson listens to the likes of Paul Kelly, Jimmy Little, Melody Pool, Catherine Britt and Lucinda Williams. “At the moment l have Martina McBride’s album Timeless in my car CD stacker.” She moved to Hobart at age 10 and it was a big move. “When you go to the city things change; you meet different people, the radio stations play different music and it’s a whole new lifestyle.” Robertson attended an all-girls school that focused on the arts and music, and started singing in a school rock band. “While everybody was listening to rock I was home secretly listening to Olivia Newton-John in my bedroom as well as Slim Dusty but in public I was listening to Joan Jett and Blondie.” Robertson married, had a baby, divorced and decided to move to Melbourne to start a new life. She again picked up a guitar and started doing what she liked – playing country/folk. “I went to a concert in 2005 and met William McMartin who was playing in the band Beyond Therapy. We became friends and both had similar interests in music. We started performing together and became great soul mates. “Bill was my driving force so when I wrote my first song and played it to Billy, he took me seriously and encouraged me to write more. Personally and musically Billy is now a big part of my life.” The Woman I Am is the second album from Robertson and her best work so far. It is the result of an intense 12 months of songwriting. The first single from the album is Sleeping With the TV On, a song about being lonely and her life living as a single mother in the inner western suburbs of Melbourne. These Were the Days, the last song selected for the album, is a traditional Russian melody

with English words by Gene Raskin. It tells the story of Robertson relationship with her first band in Hobart, Mistral Wind. “Paul Barber the drummer picked me as singer and when I decided to record this new album, I contacted Paul, first time in more than 20 years. I was devastated to hear that he was suffering from cancer. He died on Boxing Day. This song is dedicated to him.” “Road to Gundagai was recorded after dad pointed out I had not recorded any Slim Dusty songs. I decided to record my own version of this classic song and dedicate it to my father Malcolm and my Uncle Sid.” The album was produced by William McMartin. Robertson has a rich sense of the magic of stories and of their ability to connect us to one another, leading us gently to a clearer sense of ourselves and our place in the world. Robertson will perform the Basin Music Festival on 23 and 24 March, the Good Friday Appeal concert at Hallam Hotel on 29 March, and Riding of the Bounce at Hillcrest College in Berwick on 5 May. www.nairobertsonmusic.com www.freewebs.com/beyondtherapystudio

By Gary Turner *** ONE of popular music’s most recognisable and celebrated names of the past 40 years, Agnetha Fältskog signals her return to the spotlight. The songstress from ABBA is back with a new album, due for release in May. The single from the album When You Really Loved Someone (Universal) is out now. Agnetha has been working with renowned Grammy-nominated songwriter-producer Jorgen Elofsson, who has been responsible for hits by Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion and Westlife, among others. www.agnetha.co.uk *** LAST year was the 40th anniversary of the release of Deep Purple’s landmark album Machine Head. In recognition of Deep Purple’s and the album’s influence, some of rock music’s biggest names have contributed a version of their favourite track to create the album Re-Machined – A Tribute to deep Purple’s Machine Head (Shock). There are two wildly differing versions of the album’s most famous track Smoke On The Water, one from guitar hero Carlos Santana with vocals by Jacoby Shaddix and one from alternative rockers Flaming Lips. Metallica has contributed a special take on When A Blind Man Cries, a track recorded at the Machine Head sessions but originally released by Deep Purple as the B side to Never Before. This is a unique release that will appeal to rock fans everywhere. It features tracks from former Deep Purple Mk III member Glenn Hughes with Chad Smith of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Chickenfoot, Black Label Society, Carlos Santana and Jacoby Shaddix, Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa and the “supergroup” Kings Of Chaos featuring Joe Elliott, Steve Stevens, Duff Mckagan and Matt Sorum. Shock Entertainment has given The News some copies to give away. Send your entry to Machine Head CD Contest, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915.

SEPTIMUS walked up my gravel drive. Well actually it was more of a stumble, and as he got closer I could see his ashen grey face with beads of sweat on his forehead. He did not look very well at all, and I hoped he was not going to expire on my property. I could see he was very upset. Sep has a daughter in her early 20s and she’s been looking for a husband. I sat patiently waiting for Sep to tell me about his problem. He went through a series of stutters as he tried to get words out. I even got him a stubby to settle him (he had not brought any). Then it all came in a rush, like an overflowing dam in Queensland floods. “Poppy, what am I to do? She wants to get married.” His daughter Adeline has expensive tastes. She had met the man of her dreams in Australia, but he came from another country. She wanted a big wedding with all the trimmings and told Sep her betrothed had a large family and they were all coming to the wedding. There would be about 200 from his side and as she totalled her friends and family, the final number was 350. Worse still, her betrothed’s father also had daughters and had no intention of assisting in the funding of the wedding as he had big troubles of his own. Those with daughters will understand Sep’s dilemma (Poppy has only sons). “I was just starting to get ahead and now I’ll have to speak to my bank manager again. By the way, how much does a wedding cost?” I told him that he should budget for $140 a head for the soiree and extra for cars, flowers, dresses, photography and sundry items. That’s when he fainted. Poppy’s solution When Sep finally came to and asked for another stubby, I said there were only two options. Option one was to sell his boat, his four-wheel drive, work 80hour weeks and save every cent. Or borrow the money from his kind and understanding bank manager. If he was to take this path I suggested he get his daughter to sign a contract that if he funded her wedding, no matter what, when he got even more decrepit and needed full-time care, she would take him in and look after him. This might make her want to elope and avoid having to look after him as he slipped into dementia. He said eloping was starting to look pretty good. The huge cost would be avoided and not many marriages seem to last very long. I told Septimus he could buy a new Haines boat with all the gear with what it would cost him for the wedding and have heaps left. I don’t really think I was able to help Septimus that much, but I was very glad I had only sons. At least one of us was happy! PS: Before the two feminists who read this column get angry at me and abuse the editor, I did financially assist at my sons’ weddings.

A Grain of Salt THEY really should be named and shamed, you know: BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Xstrata. Good for shareholders but nothing for we 98 per cent. Hey, what about the Minerals Resource Rent Tax of a cool $126 million to revenue? The sad thing is that most of those among our 98 per cent see this as “business” blinded to the massive levels of mining profits. I wonder how many of Tony’s mob have shares? Julia’s too? With another election looming in September I recall Naomi Wolf’s words in The Guardian on how to close down a democracy: “Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy, create a gulag, employ security contractors, set up a surveillance system, harass citizen groups, introduce arbitrary detention, control the media and believe that dissent equals treason”. There’s more. Banksia Securities and the trusting people of Kyabram including the local church. “Investing back into the community?” Auditors approved the accounts a month before the collapse. Also L M First Mortgage Income Fund; but no income? The Hastie Group collapsing owing a billion dollars, including $47 million to employees. Name and shame some small-time no-hoper for whatever but corporate leaders walk away scot free. They’re talking of law reform. Yes, 2020? Financial bandits. *** I QUITE liked Ted Baillieu despite my

political leanings. He seemed honest enough, but is honesty misplaced in cronyland, particularly with the likes of anti-gay, anti-abortion man Geoff Shaw, described as a Christian but more the erratic crony type for mine. There was never any point having a go at Frankston’s Geoff Shaw on the grounds that he was doing his own digging without my help. I had to smile at the way Ted’s resignation and changeover to Denis Napthine was handled by the Herald Sun, so soft, so fatherly, almost genteel; from a newspaper at the forefront of daily Julia aggression since the beginning of this year. And a beautiful follow-up story of Denis and family. Sweet. So Teddy steps down and is replaced by Denis the Menace with the words “strengthen the economy and boost services”; possibly around Frankston to Mordialloc. *** I COULD remind you that I warned you about global warming four years ago but being a gentleman I’ll hold my tongue. I also said they would never stop the boats, but Tony will. Yeah? *** QUEENSLANDERS are moving strongly toward banning fluoride in their tap water, questioning the health experts. Good for them. With smoking causing mouth cancer, blindness, emphysema, lung cancer, vascular disease and harming unborn babies, perhaps we have another furphy in our

midst. It cannot be difficult to arrive at statistics supporting non-fluoride drinkers having less cancer concerns than we here in Victoria. My personal belief, unproven, is that cancer is primarily caused by gravity. *** WHY do I forget? Sorry to repeat myself but where else can I let off steam? Middle Sunday of Labour Day weekend, hot, so steer well clear of the coffee shop at 8am. “Too late” she cried. Coffee ordered and ensconced. Sure enough, right in front of me three tables; one with four yappers, the next with two and a lonely single next door. As if this is not enough we have a regular stream of healthy looking females walking their yappers, all receiving loud noisy hellos from the temporarily resident yappers, frightening the daylights out of my fragile nervous system. And they dare to give me the “dirty smoking look”? *** THE Lord Mayor of Melbourne, the illustrious Robert Doyle, is under review by Victoria’s local government watchdog in connection with campaign donations and links with a developer, suggesting a possible conflict of interest. Robert is our darling! Yes, he made a grab for the courts’ poor boxes and has no time for street beggars but always in our interests. Go easy on the pasta, mate. Kisses. *** FROM former Gaming Minister Mi-

chael O’Brien (now treasurer) on banning pokies with earphones “To have people literally plugged in to pokies means they are shut off from the outside world, shut out from reality and their sense of time” continuing on about the mental capacity to act responsibly. Not dissimilar to his life as a politician? *** EDDIE McGuire and Jeff Kennett, jokers in the pack. Both suffering from the incurable disease of self-righteousness. Yes I barrack for Collingwood, but every time anything comes up, Eddie has the “good bloke clear thinking” answers and it becomes tiresome. Please Eddie, give us a month’s break. Go to the Sunshine Coast. Take darling Caroline Wilson with you. And his sanctimonious cousin Jeff? There’s nothing outside his supposed expertise. Like Eddie he wrongly assumes he knows the answers to all the world’s ills. The real bugbear with both is that much of what they say is sensible until the incurable disease sets in. I won’t live long enough to hear it, but one day at least one of them will admit they were wrong. And a final word on Mike Sheahan’s top 10 footballers; Dayne Beams ahead of Swanny? At $675 for Supercoach? They know better. *** RANDOM thoughts: I preferred the time when the weather bureau got it wrong. The Cronulla Sardines. Did our shire council eventually appoint

By Cliff Ellen

a “climate change community education officer” as promised? Julia ignores West Melbourne and Tony ignores the Mornington Peninsula; safe seats? The infrastructure at Port of Hastings is “essential to our future” says Denis Napthine. We won’t hold our breath. National Party leader and former Police Minister Peter Ryan telling fibs? Never, but I believe in the Easter bunny. If Russell Crowe is really dating again who’s the unlucky girl? Highly recommended: Radio Port Phillip (98.7FM), particularly Sundays 10am till midday. Who is Seth MacFarlane? If smoking while driving is dangerous, how dangerous is unravelling a Butter Menthol? Gamblers lie, an unwritten law. I love the bit where they say “I’m playing with their money.” It’s your money! “The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier” (G B Shaw). Hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com

Jewell fails to sparkle, Sharks lose PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula cricket fans rolled into Mornington’s Alexandra Park on Saturday to see if former Victorian Bushranger Nick Jewell could win Sorrento a Provincial premiership. With his side in all sorts of trouble at 4/38 overnight against Peninsula Old Boys, Sorrento hoped Jewell could win the game off his own bat. His side was chasing POB’s total of 197, which it scored in a rain-affected first week of the grand final. Trevor Johnson top-scored for the Old Boys with 59, Dylan O’Malley contributed 31 and Jon Forrest 26. At one stage, the Old Boys team was 8/123.

With the likes of Chris King, Leigh Poholke, Nick Davern and even A J King still to bat, many believed the game was far from over. Rob Dunball was also at the crease. This was, of course, while Jewell was still at the crease. With a packed house expecting big things, the Sharks got away to a modest start against the Old Boys. However, after just 20 minutes of play and with seven runs added to the overnight score, all from Jewell, the unthinkable happened – Jewell copped an absolute jaffer from POB tearaway quick Zac Fillipone, which saw his off stump cartwheel out of the ground. He was out for 20. It sent the POB players and supporters into a frenzy. At that point, POB knew they had

one hand on the premiership cup. Jewell took the lonely walk from the field, unfortunately to heckling from POB supporters. It was an amazing scene, especially when you consider that POB snuck into the finals and wasn’t expected to get through the semi-final. The bowling of POB was superb. Fillipone (4/27 off 21 overs) and Adam Jones (2/51 from 24 overs) tied up both ends for the first hour and a half before drinks. Dylan O’Malley was also having a major influence on the clash with his medium pacers and the fieldsman refused to let Sorrento pierce the field. He cleaned up Chris King for three to put the match beyond doubt. The keeper was up and about too, Wade Pelzer providing an abundance

of advice to the Sorrento batsmen, especially to Poholke. Poholke dug deep for the Sharks and ended up top-scoring with 36. Dunball made 22. However, at 5/45 and 6/54, Sorrento was never going to win the game. Eventually, with Jones, Jon Forrest (1/20) and Eivion Bowen (1/10) taking wickets, the Sharks were put out of their misery for a total of 133. It was a long way from the 198 needed for victory, but it was a lot more than many predicted when Jewell left the arena. This was the second flag in three seasons for the Old Boys. Had the team missed the finals, it would have under-performed. With the squad it had, it was capable of winning the title.

It did so with spirit, grit and determination. Only great sides win Provincial premierships and POB deserved the win. It wasn’t the best side in the home and away but it beat the best two sides in season 2012-13 to bring glory to the club. One wonders where to for Sorrento. Word on the street is that gun allrounder Anthony Blackwell played his last game for the Sharks in the grand final. He is hanging up his whites, we are told. Will there be bigger and better opportunities for Jewell? It matters little now. Peninsula Old Boys are the new MPCA Provincial champions.

Seaford makes it a fairytale end to season SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully EVERY now and then, sport throws up a fairytale – a story of the underdog who came from nowhere to taste the ultimate success. The stories are usually saved for national sports but on Saturday at Dromana’s Pier St Oval, Seaford Tigers created a fairytale of its own. It smashed Red Hill to win the MPCA Sub-district grand final. With one round to play in the subbies’ season, Seaford was an outside chance of playing finals.

The cards had to fall the right way and if it could get its end of the bargain right, it would take part in the finals action. History shows that cards did fall its way and Seaford rolled into the semis. It then comprehensively won its semifinal and advanced to the big one. I don’t like saying a team has “nothing to lose”, because in a grand final you don’t get many opportunities to win one, so there is a premiership to lose. However, in Seaford Tigers’ case, it would have been pinching itself at the opportunity presented.

Taking the game on was how it made the last match of the year and things weren’t going to change in this encounter. On the first week of the clash, the Tigers bowled out Red Hill for 197. Simon Dart top-scored for the Hillmen with 50. Corey Hand and Tom Burgdorf snared four wickets each for the Tigers. It was a reasonable score that Red Hill set but probably 60 runs shy of making things difficult for the opposition. Seaford’s performance with the bat last week really set-up the win.

It resumed at 4/163 and was in the box seat. Ash Mills and league medalwinner Corey Hand were at the crease, both unbeaten on 18 and there was plenty of batting to come. As it turned out, on Saturday the batsmen to come weren’t needed. As predicted, Mills and Hand batted through the early afternoon to get the score to 4/194, just four runs from victory, before Hand lost his wicket. It didn’t matter, he did the job, scoring 41 and helping his side advance to District grade next season. Considering the wealth of junior talent, this is where the Tigers should be.

Mills hung around a little longer, scoring 47, adding to the fine contributions a week earlier from Gavin Whyte (49), Mark Carroll (30) and Dave James (29). Seaford Tigers finished the day at 7/296. Gavin Gardener-Smith (20), Burgdorf (25no) and teenager Matt Pola (25no) all helped themselves to some runs when the game was won. Ross Corfield was the pick of the Hillmen bowlers with 3/54 off 32 overs, while Glenn Collett and Dart each took two wickets.

Two dozen for Black Caviar: what a dish AS most of Australia’s 23 million people realise, Black Caviar has put together an exceptional curriculum vitae. She has won at each of her 24 starts over four seasons to attain world championship status and two Horse of the Year titles. Along the way she has equalled Kingston Town’s record of 14 Group 1 wins and earned nearly $6.8 million in prize money. But one feature of her career has been rankling with her connections. Although she managed to scramble home by a head in the Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot last June, her effort at the meeting was well below her normal standard. The reasoning behind Black Caviar’s display was that she had not recovered from the arduous journey to England and had a mild virus in the days before the race. This has led to her senior partowner, Neil Werrett, beginning to think about sending Black Caviar back to Royal Ascot. Going into Friday night’s Group 1 William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley, it was a given that the champion’s next outing would be in the Group 1 T J Smith Stakes at Randwick on 13 April. While having another outing in Brisbane was a possibility, there were indications that the T J Smith might

PAGE 30

be her last race. However, Black Caviar’s performance at Moonee Valley was so convincing that Werrett is considering showing the world just how good Black Caviar can be by tackling the Golden Jubilee again. It is a prospect that is being warmly received by Royal Ascot administrators, who have been in continual contact with Werrett about a second appearance by Black Caviar. At this stage everyone is keeping their cards close to their chest but, with the experience gained last year, there now seems a distinct chance Black Caviar’s farewell from racing will be in the United Kingdom. Less than 24 hours after Black Caviar’s triumph at Moonee Valley, another outstanding mare, More Joyous, had her colours lowered in the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes at Rosehill Gardens. A winner of eight Group 1 races, More Joyous was unable to cope with the brilliance of Lonhro three-yearold Pierro. Surprisingly sent forward early on by veteran jockey Jim Cassidy, Pierro was always in command of

the race but More Joyous fought on gamely in the straight to be beaten by three quarters of a length. It was Pierro’s 10th consecutive victory in Sydney with his only defeats being

in Melbourne where he ran second to Black Caviar’s half-brother All Too Hard in the Caulfield Guineas and third in the Cox Plate. The performance was so convincing

Cassidy was prompted to rate Pierro as a superior horse to dual Australian champion Might And Power on whom he won races such as the Caulfield and Melbourne cups and Cox Plate.

Frankston YCW has best depth PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt ON the eve of the 2013 Peninsula Football League season, much of the talk surrounds Frankston YCW and the tall task of knocking the team over. The club may have lost a couple of players in the off-season, including star forward Lew Roberts, but generally speaking it has the best depth in the competition (the Reserves won the flag). The key to this side has always been the tall timber in Ash Eames and Brad Ulms. Mt Eliza was the side that had YCW’s measure in 2012, despite going down in the big one. There were plenty of rumours surrounding Mt Eliza going into finals

last season that there was going to be a shift in the off-season. This has come to fruition. Mt Eliza has lost a host of players, including big names Scott Simpson, Michael Lowry, Dave Barton, Dan Gormley, Ben Landry and Sam Lloyd. They can’t be replaced overnight. The Under-18s won the flag last season and there is some good talent that will take the next step. Karingal rounded out the top three and together with YCW and Mt Eliza, these three were head and shoulders above any other team in the competition. On paper, Karingal has lost some good players. Duncan Proud is the biggest loss, leaving to coach Frankston Bombers in the Nepean League. Given

Proud looked after the monster forwards of the opposition, he’ll be hard to replace. Allan Williams has gone with him. Williams helped with Karingal’s structures and played as a tall or small in defence. The third one to go with them was Jason Bedford, who has plenty of grunt at the contests. Who will challenge YCW, however, remains the elephant in the room. I believe that Mt Eliza and Karingal are not going to be as strong this season. So who from the remaining seven sides in the competition are going to challenge? Seaford has lost Chris and Jarrod Irving, Stephen Jones, Michael Kraska and Luke Smith, all are massive outs. Bonbeach has lost Danny Ades, Matt

Clifford and Les Watterson. However, many believe the Sharks can improve. Mornington has lost Matt and Tim Johnston and Byron Murphy. It has added a few good ones though. Chelsea said goodbye to Steve Harrison, Nigel Carmody, Luke Damon, Sam Carpenter, Anthony Lewis, Dean Gentle, Scott McLeod, James Nanopolous and Chris Worner – ouch! Edithvale-Aspendale was in the mix last season but needed a top-up of talent. From all reports, the club has been working hard in the off-season, some old heads are back helping with recruiting and they’ve landed a few rippers. Langwarrin obviously added Luke Damon, while Scott Sinkaweiz is an-

other handy get. Jayden Grose returns from injury and Beau Muston plays for the season. The big news is that former Sydney Swan Jarrod Moore will line-up with the Kangas when he doesn’t have coaching duties at North Melbourne or is playing with Werribee. He was drafted from Langy. Pines has recruited quantity but it’s questionable how much quality there is amongst the recruits. While all clubs have seemed to have added some depth, they all needed to be added to existing lists to be competitive against YCW, rather than replacing players that they have lost. So, heading into a new football year, YCW is again going to be the benchmark.

Sorrento Sharks and Dromana Tigers are the teams to beat in Nepean League NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt IT’S hard not to get a shiver up your spine when pondering the coming Nepean League football season. There has been plenty of talk in the off-season and there are a number of clubs who have been active in the recruiting stakes during this period. Dromana went within a kick of winning the title last season against Sorrento and the two sides once again loom as the pacesetters in 2013. They kick off the action this Saturday (Easter Saturday) at Sorrento’s home ground after strong pre-seasons. The Tigers have had a big pre-season under coach Greg Artico and their new crop of players are really adding to the exuberance around the club. Mt Eliza welcomes Ben Loury, Dan Gormley and Matt Neratzoglou, who will add plenty to the team. Neratzoglou can play at either end of the ground and in the ruck, which will be handy considering the loss of Steven Gaertner who left recently to take a playing role and apprenticeship in Queensland. Gormley is that livewire forwardmidfielder that ensures danger in both positions when Paul Minchington is not there. Loury has not played in a couple of seasons but expect him to dominate up forward. The Tigers have also picked up Mi-

chael Falconer, who did a pre-season with Noble Park and brings some talent to the table. Daniel Waddell from YCW is an excellent recruit and Christian Ongarello (Dolphins) is fit and allows Rikki Johnson or Adam Hunter to play further up the ground Sorrento’s big recruit was former St Kilda hard nut Steven Baker. However, he is under league investigation after a Red Hill player was left with a broken jaw in a practice match a couple of weeks ago. Any suspension will see Baker’s career ended. He is due to front the tribunal tonight (Tuesday). The Sharks have lost Dalton Sanderson and Doug Scott but have gained a couple of talented players from further up the line including Todd Hounsell and Ryan Jeffrey (EFL). Troy Schwarze is also available all season after parting with St Kilda as a specialist coach. The obvious question is: who will challenge the Sharks and the Tigers? Improvement is expected to come from Rosebud, which has picked up a number of good players. The massive recruit is Matthew Payne. We know how good his brother Brenton is. Add a couple of QAFL league medals and that’s Matty – a gun who fits the bill. Nick Jewell takes over as coach and he pulled a couple of players with him from Heatherton, where he coached last season. James Ross and Tommy Barrand are notable losses, but the

Buds are expected to improve on their finish last season. On Good Friday, Rosebud tackles Rye. Rye has lost Justin Van Unen. A club can’t lose 130 goals for the season and a matchwinner and expect to challenge. But it has picked up good players in Cory Conyers and Troy Wright from the Eastern Football League. An EFL chairman of selectors said “they’ll be guns in your competition”. They can both play anywhere on the ground, key position or through the middle. Unfortunately Wright broke his foot in a practice match last weekend and will miss eight weeks. Coach Ben Holmes only played a handful of games last season and he is like a recruit. He competed in the triathlon on the weekend, which highlights his fitness level. Frankston Bombers has recruited a handful of quality players. The big question is how first-time coach Duncan Proud will handle the pressures of leading a team. Old heads in Ryan and Nathan Lonie, Brian O’Carroll and Haydn Moore are still at the club and their support will be paramount should the Bombers want to go deep into the finals. Allan Williams is a very versatile player who can play as a tall or small in defence as well as being a more than handy midfielder. Aaron Jack is a terrier and Jason Bedford is a wonderful shut-down player. He loves the contest

and loves the hardball. Proud is a former Peninsula League team of the year full back. It will be interesting to see where he plays himself given Jeremy Waixel is also a full-back. Former Collingwood and West Coast Eagles forward Damien Atkins isn’t a bad get either for the Bombers. On paper, Pearcedale has recruited well. However, judging by its performance on Saturday in a practice match, the Panthers don’t appear to have worked overly hard during the pre-season. Former Mornington coach Josh Beard is a huge recruit to help Ben Cadd with the magnets. There aren’t many better local footy brains. While I wasn’t overly impressed with the Hoops last weekend, I expect them to challenge for the finals. Watch out for the two blokes they picked up from Tasmania as well as Dylan Hoare (YCW). Somerville needs to get the very best it can out of its kids this season. In saying that though, it has lost a few of them to other clubs. It has also lost a host of experience, including Marcus Bate (Bombers), Emilio Bitters (Mornington), Glenn Boyd (Central Murray), Ben Crowe (EFL), Jack Day and Jason Baxter (Elinbank), Jono Edwards (Pines), Lachy Edwards (Northern FL), Luke Forsyth (EFL), Will Jolley (Hastings), Chris King (SA), Lee Koerner (Crib

Point), Brad McDonald (Rosebud) Hastings has been ripped apart by players leaving. The Blues didn’t perform overly well last season and when you consider it has lost the likes of Mark Deveraux, Matt Robbins and Kyle Pinto to name a few, it’s hard to see it making the five. Crib Point has snared a couple of handy types in the Ross brothers from Hastings and Lee Koerner from Somerville and we must not forget it finished with a rush last season. There is enough talent in the Pies line-up to think that it will be pushing for a place in the finals yet again. Red Hill has picked up James McCall after he returned once again from South Australia. Defensively he is an important player for Red Hill. Another year, another Gary “Cat” Colling will hold the Hillmen in good stead. Expect some big improvement from Devon Meadows. After a shocking start to last season, it did get better. You can guarantee the club would have worked hard on its fitness in the off-season. Its players weren’t overly fit in 2012 and needed to get better in this area. The club has also added a host of players to its squad. Tyabb has had a couple of late callups, players applying for clearances to the club. It had been a very quiet off-season for the Yabbies until the past couple of weeks but it just might be OK.

Easter fishing a time for family fun and a fab feed ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro EASTER is a great time for family fishing action. The long weekend heralds the changing of the seasons and is when the water is still warm enough for offshore species like mako sharks and kingfish, and cool enough for elephant fish and gummy sharks. Piers, dams, beaches and boating hotspots all fire up as this is one time of the year that all popular fish species are available to the angler. For pier-based anglers on the penin-

sula, squid, flathead, whiting, salmon and garfish are popular targets. Best piers to try are Flinders, Mornington, Portsea and Sorrento. Best baits to take on your pier fishing trip are pippies, blue bait and silverfish. From back beaches, anglers catch flathead, salmon and mullet during the day and gummy shark by night. Easter is the time to fish off the beach for sharks as it coincides with a full moon. They venture into shallows for crabs, giving anglers a better chance of catching one. Beaches worth a try are Point Leo,

Gunnamatta and Sorrento back beach. Best baits include fresh or USA squid, pilchards and eel. Rivers are also an option with Balcombe Creek at Mt Martha and Patterson River at Carrum holding black bream and mullet. Best baits: shrimp, prawns, pippies and sand worms. Port Phillip is great this time of year with plenty of flathead and squid about. Anglers also do quite well on King George whiting. People fishing out wide and in the channels also land some great snapper and gummy sharks. Best baits in close:

pippies, mussels and squid. Try squid, garfish and pilchards in the deep. In Western Port, snapper, elephant fish, squid, whiting, gummy shark are just a few species to chase. Best baits for deeper water include squid, mullet, salmon and pilchards. In the shallows, pippies and mussels are the best bet. For blue water action, kingfish can be found on ocean rocky outcrops. Best methods include slow trawled live baits, jigs and trawling. For the chance of hooking a mako, head to 50-70 metres of water, burley heavily and see what happens.

Further afield, southern bluefin tuna can be targeted by those on larger trailer boats out of Portland. Play it safe on the water, 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.

MOTORING Holden Cruze coming in April NEW Holden Cruze will go on sale next month, with added features and better performance thanks to the introduction of a new 132kW 1.6 litre turbo engine and locally-developed sports suspension for SRi and SRi-V sports models. Holden has added features across the entire model line-up while reducing the recommended retail pricing for the entire range. A realigned model line-up sees the Equipe replace the entry level CD, adding front foglamps, sports grille, 17â&#x20AC;? alloy wheels and rear park assist as standard features to the most affordable Cruze model. CDX gains additional premium features including keyless entry with push button start and a reverse camera. A reverse camera is also added to the range-topping SRi-V while the SRi sport model receives rear park assist as standard. Holden Cruze becomes the first locally built car to go on sale with Holden MyLink, a new premium infotainment system.

Standard in every new Cruze model, the Holden MyLink system centres around a seven-inch colour touch-screen featuring intuitive controls that enable drivers to select audio and settings, connect a mobile device via Bluetooth (while stationary), view album artwork and customise their home screen preferences. Holden MyLink in Cruze also uses embedded applications to allow drivers to safely access internet music station, Pandora and podcast radio station Stitcher through 3G streaming on their compatible mobile device. The new 1.6 litre turbo engine, now standard in both SRi and SRi-V sport models, replaces the 1.4 litre turbo engine which remains an option on the Equipe. A new Australian calibrated second generation automatic transmission with Active Select replaces the outgoing automatic transmission across petrol models, promising improved drive quality.
