Call to guard beach dogs By Keith Platt PARKS Victoria is being urged to hire private guards to police beaches with dog restrictions. Nepean Conservation Group says Parks does not have enough staff to force compliance with new regulations that require dogs to be leashed on national park beaches, where they are banned from 9am. “Even local dog owners are appalled at the blatant disregard of the regulations,� the group’s president Ursula de Jong said. “We walk regularly and extensively in Mornington Peninsula National park and have not once walked there without meeting dogs on the loose.
“Large ones, small ones, friendly ones, annoying ones, with and without owners, at any time of the day.� Dr de Jong said the 40-year-old environment group feared delays in a promised review of the new regulations. “When the original regulations were put in place in the 1990s, a review period of one year was mandated,� she said. “It took Parks 14 years to undertake that review. “Now with a two-year review mandated, can we expect to wait 28 years?� Parks Victoria ranger-in-charge Kris Rowe has previously told The News the new dog restrictions

There are 32 fauna species listed as endangered, vulnerable or near threatened living in Mornington Peninsula National Park. Few national parks in Victoria allow dogs. They are permitted in the peninsula’s national park due to a historical anomaly. The area was controlled by the former Shire of Flinders before being declared a national park in 1988.

Hunt, Billson score tough Cabinet jobs By Mike Hast THE region’s two federal Liberal MPs Greg Hunt and Bruce Billson won Cabinet seats in the Abbott government last week. Mr Hunt, who was the Opposition’s environment spokesman, was unsurprisingly made Minister for the Environment. He easily retained his seat of Flinders, which covers a large part of the Mornington Peninsula, increasing his margin from 9 to 12 per cent. Mr Hunt was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Environment in the Howard government. Mr Billson was Minister for Veterans Affairs in the Howard government and then the Opposition’s spokesman for Small Business, Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs prior to the 7 September election. On Monday last week Mr Abbott made Mr Billson the Minister for Small Business, and the ministry was brought into the inner Cabinet for the first time. Mr Billson increased his margin in Dunkley, which stretches from Seaford to Mornington, from a paper-thin 1 per cent to 4 per cent, easily accounting for the ALP’s Sonya Kilkenny. Both MPs had high media profiles on the weekend with Mr Billson on ABC television and Mr Hunt on radio defending the government’s policy of not letting Australians know about refugees arriving by boat. Mr Hunt has arguably been given the tougher task by Mr Abbott – playing a lead role in repealing the previous government’s carbon price as well as getting rid of the Climate Change Authority, which sets emissions caps, the Climate Commission, which conducts research into climate change, and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, which funds renewable technologies. Last week Mr Hunt had the task of calling Professor Tim Flannery, chief commissioner of the Climate Commission, and telling him he no longer had a job. The Crikey website cheekily published a photo of Mr Hunt with this caption: What was said: “I would like to recognise the efforts of the Climate Commission in providing information on climate change.” What was meant: “Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out, climate boffins.” Axing the Climate Change Authority will require legislative change. The new government’s actions on climate change have infuriated scientists and many Australians. Many have said scrapping the Cli-

mate Commission and the Climate Change Authority will deprive the nation of independent information on global warming just when it is needed most. Professor Will Steffen of the Australian National University, and a nowsacked Climate Commissioner, reportedly said “the science has been sucked into this vortex of a highly politicised approach to climate change. We’ve got a rapidly destabilising climate. It does pose risks for us”. Mr Hunt has said the new government’s Direct Action plan to pay polluters to cut emissions will be cheaper and still meet the bipartisan goal of reducing greenhouse gases by 5 per cent of 2000 levels by 2020. Perhaps the strongest criticism of the new government’s actions has come from David Suzuki, the renowned Canadian scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster who is in Australia this week. He said the Abbott government’s move to scrap the carbon tax, “a tax
which had been a timid step in the right direction, to close down your green energy bank and to reduce the rebates for buying solar panels, all send a terrible signal to your entrepreneurs and to the community”. “All of it is being done in the name of saving the economy. But for more than 20 years the insurance industry has been telling us we have all been paying more for changes in the climate. Why aren’t we listening to the insurers, the hardest business heads of all?” The federal government would be hoping Australia does not have a hot and dangerous summer as recent experience shows extreme events such as drought, floods and fire increase the public’s belief in or acceptance of climate change. A clearer picture of global climate change will be revealed on Friday when the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is released. Meanwhile, Bruce Billson’s star is on the rise with his small business

portfolio now in Cabinet’s inner sanctum. Mr Billson reportedly he would play a key role in government: “I have a bit of a roving commission role across all portfolios with a bit of a change agent agenda to implement”. He said the government wanted to “put the business back into small business” and the concerns of small businesses and family enterprises would be “front and centre in the business of government”. Mr Billson wants to move the small business portfolio from the industry department to Treasury. Locally, he has set a high bar with election promises of more than $4.36 million for his electorate. They include: $1.25 million for the redevelopment of Frankston foreshore. $800,000 to build a youth hub in Mornington. $759,000 to continue the rollout of the Dunkley Community Safety Plan with new CCTV and better lighting

Cameras snap into action PENINSULA Link freeway speed cameras were turned on for the first time last Friday morning, four days later than originally scheduled, but just in time for the school holidays. Speed cameras have been installed at six sites, with two point-to-point sections and three instantaneous detection points in either direction at each. Messages on so-called variable message signs along the freeway changed to “Cameras enforcing now” in the early hours of Friday morning. The warning will stay in place for the next month. Road Policing Command Superintendent Dean McWhirter said drivers needed to take extra care over the busy school holiday period on the Mornington Peninsula.
“This is a timely reminder to everyone to obey the speed limit and ensure you arrive at your holiday destination safely,” he said. “We are giving the public plenty of warning that the cameras will be activated and enforcing from midnight. If you are heading down to the Mornington Peninsula for the holidays with your family, take care on the roads, drive within the signed speed limit and you won’t get fined.” A recent test of the cameras detected more than 7500 motorists exceeding the speed limit over a 14-day period. Of those, more than 500 motorists were exceeding the limit by 15km/h or more and 66 of those would have lost their licences for excessive speeding.
Ms de Jong said the latest restrictions applied in areas of the park adjacent to rural areas as well as areas with minimal public access to beaches, including London Bridge to Sorrento Ocean Beach (excluding the Portsea surf beach visitor site), a section of Rye Ocean Beach, a section of St Andrews Beach, Gunnamatta and a section of the Flinders coastline. “Nepean Conservation Group has expressed its concerns to Parks Victoria at these less than satisfactory outcomes for Mornington Peninsula National Park,” she said. “Although some responsible dog owners do the right thing, the evidence of non-compliance with regulations is already overwhelming. “NCG believes that regulations are only as good as the ability of the responsible authority to monitor them and enforce them. “Parks does not have the staff or the resources to follow up on the new guidelines so why not outsource this task and earn an income to undertake much-needed work on the ground in our national parks?” Ms de Jong said unleashed dogs “regularly harassed” cormorants, oyster catchers, gulls, herons, hooded plovers and terns, birds that inhabit the marine intertidal zone and coastal dune formations. Last summer, just nine endangered hooded plovers survived the breeding season on the national park’s beaches, the highest for some years but a small percentage of total eggs hatched. Ms de Jong said members of NCG Bird Watchers and the Friends of the Hooded Plover were monitoring ocean beaches.

Lease plans at odds with park definitions By Ursula de Jong THE Nepean Conservation Group has been caring for our environment since 1973. It should be a time to celebrate. Yet 40 years on the group is faced with a most insidious threat to our natural heritage. Our national parks, created to protect our natural and cultural heritage, are under serious threat. The state government, in calling for privatisation and commercialisation in our national parks, is undermining the raison d’etre of the parks. Expressions of interest closed in early August for Point Nepean National Park. Deliberations have begun, but the community is excluded from these considerations that will adversely af-
fect the future of our national park. A report in the Southern Peninsula News (10/9/13) that the Mornington Peninsula Shire “will be kept in the loop” is no consolation for being excluded from actively participating in the process. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) defines protected areas such as our national parks as “a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values”. Parks Victoria looks after our national parks under the National Parks Act 1975. Its slogan says it all: Healthy Parks, Healthy People.
A protected area is a location that has a clear boundary; it has people and laws that make sure that nature and wildlife are protected and that people can continue to benefit from nature without destroying it. Interestingly the IUCN further states that “the highest competent authority of the country” should take steps “to prevent or eliminate as soon as possible exploitation or occupation in the whole area” and effectively enforce “the respect of ecological, geomorphological or aesthetic features which have led to its establishment”. Visitors are welcome – but under special conditions “for inspirational, educative, cultural and recreative purposes”. That has been the vision for our national park, the Mornington Peninsula
and Point Nepean National Park from the outset. In the National Parks Amendment (Leasing Powers and Other Matters) Bill currently being considered by state parliament, up to two-thirds of land in Victoria’s national parks could be placed under long-term leases. Indeed 99-year leases are being offered to encourage commercial development. Under new provisions, the responsible minister will be able to make decisions without parliament passing an amendment to the National Parks Act. Why do we need large-scale, longterm, “resort-type” development in our national parks? In the shire’s Nepean Ward we have every type and range of accommodation and amenity available, from Rye to Portsea. Extensive bicycle and walking
paths link Port Phillip and Bass Strait. The Mornington Peninsula and Point Nepean national parks are accessible at many points. These are precious, small, remaining reserves of habitat in much need of the highest protection to maintain their integrity. They contain outstanding remnants of our indigenous, natural and cultural heritage. We, the people of Victoria, are their custodians. If we do not act now, who will? We could take the example of the turtle for our own actions: “He makes progress only when he sticks his head out.” Nepean Conservation Group encourages everyone to write to their local MPs and stay informed. Dr Ursula de Jong is president of Nepean Conservation Group
Parks under threat NATURAL threats to the Mornington Peninsula’s national parks are ever present. Summer recreational use puts extreme pressure on this fragile ocean coast. The calcarenite cliffs are naturally subject to erosion from wind and high tides. Human impact speeds this process along. Yet a partnership between people and place is the best way to protect our two coastal national parks. The NCG’s vision is for people to understand and appreciate the natural and cultural heritage that contributes to the sense of place of the Nepean Peninsula in order to protect and conserve the amenity and enhance the character of place. Awareness of the nature of our local coastal environments is the first step along the journey. Find out more at the Community Arts Heritage Showcase, Sorrento Community Centre, 10am-3pm Saturday 5 October.

Burn off law changed for fire season: shire warned property owners to use it responsibly. “If you value this initiative for October 2013, do the right thing and adhere to the rules,” Cr Bowden said. She said material to be burnt must not be wet or green. General fire safety precautions should be taken at all times. “It’s a great chance to clean up around your property, but ensure you do it responsibly and safely, and keep your neighbours and local authorities informed,” she said. “Council encourages residents in the first instance to compost as much material as possible, utilise the shire’s fortnightly opt-in green bin service,

Making a fire break of at least 3 metres. Ensuring the fire is supervised by an adult at all times. Having sufficient fire protection equipment on site at all times Ensuring vegetation to be burnt is dead and dry (that is, no green waste). Not burning if wind speed exceeds 20km/h. More details are at: www.mornpen. vic.gov.au or call 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000. Residents can determine the size of their property on the shire’s website at www.gisweb.mornpen.vic.gov.au/ penmaps

and council’s twice-yearly no-charge green waste weekends. “Materials should not be left on the property to accumulate and become a future fire hazard.” Cr Bowden said easing the rules would benefit residents “without a car or a trailer to transport bulky waste, and residents in areas of the peninsula with extensive die-back of trees”. General fire safety provisions include: Giving notice to adjoining landowners and occupiers 24 hours prior to the burn. Calling 1800 668 511 at least two hours prior to burning to log the fire with the CFA.
The shire was one of the last in the greater Melbourne area to allow burning off and the new rules were widely praised. A shire spokeswoman said people on 1500 square metre blocks could burn off in October provided that: No more than 1 cubic metre of vegetation is burnt at any one time. The fire is not within 10 metres of any neighbouring dwelling. General Fire Safety Provisions are followed. Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said easing of restrictions would assist owners of smaller properties to reduce fine fuel in the lead-up to summer, but

EASING of burning off rules on the peninsula is to allow residents to prepare for the coming fire season, says Mornington Peninsula Shire. In late August, councillors led by David Gibb and Andrew Dixon voted to allow burning off without having to obtain a permit “on land less than 1500 square metres” on Fridays and Saturdays between 9am and 4pm during October this year. Rules introduced a year ago when the shire revised its Local Laws removed “as of right” burning off on Fridays and Saturdays for residents on blocks of up to 1500 square metres (about quarter of an acre).

Ashes of sons join lost dads in historic wreck By Mike Hast THE ashes of two men whose fathers died aboard the cargo steamer TSS Coramba off Phillip Island in 1934 were taken to the wreck by divers last Sunday. The poignant ceremony was witnessed by John Sullivan, the grandson of Able Seaman John Loring Sullivan, one of 17 seamen who perished when the ship went down with all hands during a storm. The ashes of Jack Dowling, the son of Coramba’s captain John Dowling, and John Loring Sullivan were taken to the engine room, where it is believed the men died, by divers of Southern Ocean Exploration.

Southern Ocean Exploration is a group of Victorian non-professional maritime archaeologists, selfconfessed “shipwreck nuts”, who fund their own expeditions. SOE, some of whose members live on the peninsula, including Mark Ryan of Mt Martha, has built a reputation for solving numerous shipwreck mysteries with a combination of hightech equipment, clever research and dogged persistence. In recent years the group has discovered the TSS Cumberland, TSS Kanowna, SS Queensland and SS Glenelg, many of them deep below the surface and requiring special diving apparatus. One of their discoveries was the

Coramba was discovered in May 2011 by SOE with the assistance of maritime historian and veteran diver Des Williams (“The sea gives up a secret”, The News, June 2011). Coramba is lying on her port side in 63 metres (205ft) of water 15 kilometres southeast of Phillip Island, far from where she was thought to be. The Phillip Island ceremony, conducted by Mr Williams, was captured on film by Mornington documentary maker Terry Cantwell.
Filming for a doco about the Coramba is now complete. Mr Cantwell made a doco about the discovery of Glenelg. SOE divers found the wreck in June 2009. It was one of Victoria’s worst but least-known maritime tragedies. In March 1900, the iron steamer sank 10 kilometres off Victoria’s Ninety Mile Beach with the loss of 34 lives. A Drop in the Ocean recounts the Glenelg’s last voyage, the lasting effect the tragedy had on victims’ families, and the discovery of the ship. Mr Cantwell said the work of SOE had helped “reunite families with their past, resolve historical questions, and raise awareness about the
richness of our maritime heritage”. More than 600 ships have sunk in Victorian waters since 1835, but only 239 wrecks have been found and surveyed. Many were deliberately scuttled in Victoria’s ship graveyard southwest of Port Phillip’s entrance. A Heritage Victoria wreck catalogue is at www.flickr.com/photos/heritage_ victoria For more information about SOE, go to www.southernoceanexploration. com The search for Coramba and other SOE expeditions is being filmed for a documentary, Ghost Divers, by Terry Cantwell of White Water Documentaries.

High-tech tools help fight family violence By Chris Brennan POLICE and Mornington Peninsula Shire officials have welcomed the launch of an online service that provides 24-hour assistance to people who have experienced domestic violence. The Ask Someone website and mobile phone application provides access to free professional support and information for anyone who has suffered family violence in any form or has used violence against a family member. Peninsula residents can use the service to access a variety of support organisations in Melbourne’s south, including medical, legal and community services as well as police. The service was developed by the Southern Metropolitan Region Integrated Family Violence Executive in response to rising concerns about increasing reports of domestic violence, with Victoria Police statistics revealing an increase of almost 400 per cent in family violence-related crimes over the past 10 years. Southern Metropolitan Regional Integration Family Violence coordinator Linda Watson said domestic violence included physical harm, sexual assault, emotional, psychological, verbal, economic and social abuse. “It also covers threats to harm another family member or pets, and children who hear, witness or are exposed to the effects of family violence,” she said. Ask Someone provided a “unique

referral pathway” designed to link practitioners in the legal and family violence support services with clients. “Support services offer a range of care from early intervention to crisis response to women and children escaping family violence though to recovery. There are also programs to change the behaviour of men who use violence against their family. “Ask Someone brings another avenue for people to access these important services from a computer, smart phone or tablet safely and confidentially for free, 24/7.” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said Ask Someone was a welcome addition to community support networks working to curb the rising tide of family violence. “Everyone has the right to feel safe in their family and home, and the shire is supportive of actions to reduce family violence,” Cr Bowden said. The shire’s health and wellbeing committee chair Cr Antonella Celi said the new service made the most of modern tools to provide a “smart way for people to gain access to local services anywhere, any time”. “The shire has committed to the development of a prevention of violence charter and action plan, and will be liaising closely with the community in its development,” Cr Celi said. “Family violence can stop.

ber, seek free professional support and information.” Mornington Peninsula police commander Inspector Bryan Sharp said authorities were gravely concerned about the rising number of family violencerelated crimes being reported. The rate of family violence-related crime on the peninsula had increased from 660 instances per 100,000 people in 2008-09 to 1100 in 2012-13, official Victoria Police statistic reveal. “Family violence is an ongoing, statewide issue that exacts a terrible toll on families and the community,” Inspector Sharp said. “These destructive behaviours will remain a priority for police and support groups. “The Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Unit will continue to target recidivist offenders and offer support to victims, so I urge all members of our community to speak out against family violence.” Chief Commissioner Ken Lay also highlighted family violence as an area of growing concern for police across the state when the latest crime statistics for the 12 months to June 30 were released recently. “We know that family violence-related crime is significantly impacting on our crime statistics,” Mr Lay said. “Over the past 10 years, family violence-related crime against the person has increased by nearly 400 per cent.”

This art is for the artists ARTISTS and craftspeople were eyeing off each other’s work at Baxter last week as preparation for a Christmas exhibition in East Melbourne. The Johnston Collection Museum this year is exhibiting works from the peninsula in its Tales of Christmas Treasures exhibition. The Johnston Collection of fine and decorative was left by the late William Robert Johnston in 1986. An antique dealer and collector, Mr Johnston left his property Fairhall, in Hotham St, East Melbourne, as a museum to house the collection. The museum is run by a charitable trust set up in 1986 after Mr Johnston’s death. Groups invited to be involved
in Christmas Treasures include The Embroiderers Guild, Victoria (Mornington Peninsula and Flinders Country group), Australasian Porcelain Art Teachers, The Bead Society of Victoria, The Bond Family, Cake Decorators Association of Victoria (Frankston), Decoupage Guild of Australia (Frankston), Embroidery Essentials, Felicity Northeast Millinery, Mornington Peninsula Artisans, Mornington Peninsula Patchworkers, Point Nepean Patchworkers and Quilters, and Upper Deck Quilting. The Johnstone Collection organises a Christmas show each year, with works from different regions of Victoria.
Regions that have participated in the Johnston Collection Christmas tour include Bendigo, Castlemaine, Ballarat, Geelong, Wangaratta and northeast Victoria, and Warrnambool and southwest Victoria. Tuesday’s event at Baxter Hall gave artists and craftspeople a chance to see what has been produced by other artists and groups. The Johnston Collection includes Regency, Georgian and Louis XV antiques displayed in a domestic setting. There are daily guided tours. Tales of Christmas Treasures: Christmas at The Johnston Collection 2013 opens Thursday 7 November and continues until 26 February. Call 9416 2515 or www.johnstoncollection.org
Ready for Christmas: Displaying their entries for an exhibition at the Johnston Collection in East Melbourne are, top left, Catherine Byatt and Jenny Williams – The Bond Girls of Mt Eliza – with their embroidery of William Johnson’s travels; top right, Helen Grierson, Lila Varce, Helen McHenry, Heather Stafford, Jennifer Davies and Carol Mcleod of the Mornington peninsula branch of the Embroiderers Guild, Victoria; and, above, Felicity Northeast of Mt Eliza.

Workshop and study to identify marine precincts MORNINGTON Peninsula Marine Alliance is holding a planning workshop at 6pm on Thursday 21 November at Hastings Community House, 185 High St, Hastings. It will identify suitable locations for the development of marine precincts with direct access to Western Port or Port Phillip. Alliance executive officer Bruce Douglas said feedback from the workshop would be included in a marine precincts study being produced by the end of the year.
It will recommend how the peninsula’s marine industry can best be expanded, taking into account land use, deep water access and workforce training. “The precincts will help businesses to remain here and expand rather than be coerced to other regions,” Mr Douglas said. “It is timely having regard to the Port of Hastings development as we want to be able to support businesses serving the port and its ancillary functions.”
He said possible areas for development of the marine industry included Yaringa Harbour, Hastings and Crib Point on Western Port, and Martha Cove (Safety Beach) and Blairgowrie on Port Phillip. The alliance was formed in 2011 after Mr Douglas, the former Mornington Peninsula Shire infrastructure director, conducted an initial study of the sector in late 2010. Mr Douglas is a civil engineer who had a 30-year career in local government, including 11 years as

the shire’s director of sustainable infrastructure. The sector is the largest by turnover in the shire, surpassing BlueScope Steel, the naval base at HMAS Cerberus and the shire council.

Can you help? These employers did.
Movement at Cove as consortium fires up By Mike Hast BUSINESS advisory firms KordaMentha and PPB Advisory have joined forces with Melbourne builder Three Pillars to complete construction of homes at Martha Cove in Safety Beach. The 97-hectare, so-called master planned housing and marina development has been dogged by controversy since it was first proposed in the early 1990s. The project was approved in 2002 but environmentalists bemoaned the destruction of Tassels Creek catchment, and eyebrows were raised at the construction of the Port Phillip entrance to the marina with Marine Drive placed in a tunnel under the waterway. Criticism of the $650 million plus project reached fever pitch in 2004 when construction finally started and heavy rain saw flooding of nearby areas when temporary levees were breached. Nineteen waterfront homes were built by March 2007. The three- and four-bedroom homes ranged in size from 340-480 square metres and in price from $1.7- $2.1 million including a freehold berth in the marina close to each home.

The project came to a grinding halt in 2009 when the main developer, Queensland-based CP1 Ltd, went into receivership. The project was said to be back on track by mid-2011 when it was announced 35 more houses were under construction with plans for 10 more set to be approved. The project was slated to include 1100 houses, 750 marina berths and commercial, shopping and tourist facilities. Receiver PPB was appointed as administrators of CP1 Ltd. Two other receivers controlled other parts of the development. CP1 Ltd gained approval for a 150-seat restaurant and a retail centre with 2000 square metres of floor space, but neither has been built. Rights to develop various parts of Martha Cove have been offered a few times since 2008. The new consortium is offering townhouses and homes of up to five bedrooms, some with direct access to boat berths and the marina boardwalk. The opening of Peninsula Link freeway in January has boosted the value of southern peninsula properties including Martha Cove.

No budget for Rye tip ANALYSIS By David Harrison NEW evidence has emerged pointing to Mornington Peninsula Shire’s preference to tip rubbish into the old Pioneer quarry in Dromana, despite it not being listed as a priority site in the shire’s current rubbish disposal plan, the 2009 Municipal Waste Management Strategy. A senior shire officer has stated that no provision has been made in the budget for its rubbish contingency plan – to create more space at Rye tip – as set out in the 2009 waste strategy. Since the Environment Protection Authority has ruled out use of the quarry as a tip, doubt exists about where shire rubbish will go. The EPA on 13 September rejected Peninsula Waste Management’s application for a works approval to operate the tip or landfill. The quarry appears to have been the shire’s first choice despite its stated neutral stance. Absence of finance for the Rye option strengthens the impression that the shire was relying on the quarry becoming a rubbish tip. The Rye contingency would, according to the strategy, “provide [the shire] with the capacity to continue to dispose of waste to the Rye landfill until approximately 2030�. But, the strategy states, “This option is a high cost option�, requiring $600,000 to be allocated in the 201314 year and $5 million in each of the following two years. Those 2009 cost estimates would have risen in the past four years.
Option 1 of the strategy was to explore setting up an alternative waste technology facility in conjunction with Frankston and Casey councils. The option did not proceed. The shire official has stated that “it is unlikely that [the AWT] will be constructed within the southeast region of Melbourne in the near future�. Logically, Option 2, the Rye “contingency�, then became top priority. The 2009 strategy stressed the urgency of acting quickly on extending the Rye landfill. It was “imperative� that the shire “consider all options� for extending its life. The official did not reveal why the Rye option was not then allowed for in the shire’s 2013-14 budget, to begin developing a “state of the art recycling centre with green waste, in-vessel composting�. Instead, the official stated that “The shire has commenced a review of its Municipal Waste Management Strategy that will examine all options available to council�. “It is anticipated that the timeline for the completion of the draft strategy will be early 2014. This information (funding and phasing of funding) will then be considered by council and incorporated into the shire’s financial plan following adoption of the revised strategy.� This appears to be a bald, perfunctory abandonment of the long and detailed 2009 waste strategy that, incidentally, was reviewed for the shire by David Maltby, now development manager of tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management.
The official’s letter also presumably abandons the companion Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Management Plan 2010-2015, written by Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group. This report stated that “The alternative [to Rye] in the current market would be to haul wastes to Werribee for disposal, a round trip of some 260km ... an annual transport of between 80,000 to 64,000 tonnes per annum some 130km�. The report argued that the cost of trucking waste 64 kilometres to Hallam would be greater than the Werribee option. But it did not say why, instead implying the dumping cost or “gate fee� at Hallam was massively higher than at Werribee. In a table headed “Transport costs to Werribee�, the 2010-2015 plan calculated the Werribee trip would take four hours at a cost of $150 per truck hour, plus add-ons including the cost of dumping rubbish at Werribee, which the plan omitted to detail. The plan does not provide details of other costs of the two options, making it difficult to calculate why Werribee could be preferred. However, it estimated the Hallam trip would take an hour and two minutes, while Werribee could be reached in an hour and 51 minutes. That is, the additional cost per truck to dump rubbish at Hallam must have been about $300 per truck more than to drive 260 kilometres to Werribee and back.

Centenarian credits past wives and lives CENTENARIAN Jim Gribbon attributes his longevity to “a hell of a lot of luck and the choice of grandparents�. Mr Gribbon, of Rye, gave this explanation after receiving a standing ovation by his fellow members of the Probus Club of Southern Peninsula. Club president John Mollison presented Mr Gribbin with a certificate recognising his achievement. Mr Gribbin has been a member of the club since 1990. He said that he now knew what it was like being on 99 not out, adding that his longevity could be attributed to the “love and affection beyond measure of two wonderful women� – his first wife of 30 years, Edna, with whom he had 10 children and his second wife, Shirley, for 29 years. Mr Gribbin said he looked forward to celebrating his next birthday at Probus.

The club meets on the second Monday each month at Blairgowrie Community Hall in William St, Blairgowrie. Retired businessmen interested in joining Probus can contact membership coordinator Bob Bigelow on 5988 0833 or president John Mollison on 5985 6317.
Holidays a boon for peninsula thieves ROSEBUD police have warned peninsula residents and holidaymakers to be sure to lock their cars and homes following a spate of thefts and break-ins over the past week.

Break-ins were also reported by police at Red Hill, while numerous items have been stolen from cars parked in the Dromana area. Detective Senior Constable Andrew Hodson of Rosebud crime investigation unit said residents and visitors to the peninsula needed to be vigilant in locking their homes and vehicles, particularly over the busy school holiday period. Drivers should ensure valuables and even lose change were not left within view inside cars.

Ready for the real thing: Frankston Hospital doctors undergoing training for the RESUS4KIDS program included Enoch Lee, Ramani Kone, Kathy McMahon, Cara Baillie and medical student Muhammad Bin Haji Adi.
New program to save the children MEDICAL staff at Peninsula Health are being taught a new program designed to resuscitate children who have suffered a respiratory or cardiac arrest. The RESUS4KIDS program is designed for health care workers attending to a child within 10 minutes of a collapse. Peninsula Health is the first Victorian health service to use the resuscitation program based on
Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. The one-day course also teaches health professionals how to work together as a team. The program has an e-learning module and a short, practical component. “Children are not just little adults and therefore it is important for the safety and care of children that staff have access to good quality, evidencebased and user-friendly achievable education,”
paediatrics clinical director Dr Kathy McMahon said. “The e-learning component has been designed to be implemented in stages. “You don’t have to do it all in one session. However, it must be completed before you attend the practical course.” Observers came from Southern Health, The Alfred hospital, Barwon Health and Eastern Health.

By Mike Hast WEST Park Estate in Hastings could be renamed Wallaroo with the change being proposed by Hastings Community Alliance and West Park Residents Action Group. The proposed change follows Hastings Westpark Primary School’s announcement last week that it will change to Wallaroo Primary School for the start of the 2014 school year. Alliance co-chairman Brian Stahl said there had been a certain amount of stigma associated with the public housing estate since it was built in the early 1970s. “The estate was isolated from the main part of Hastings due to lack of public transport and was built on flood-prone land,” he said. “Housing Commission contractors had to stabilise roads to even allow access to the estate.” He said Hastings-based developer Don Hodgins once lost a cow in mud in the area before it was bought by the government for public housing. The state government has spent millions over the years repairing roads, footpaths, drains and homes. Mr Stahl, who moved to Hastings in 1966, said the Housing Commission of Victoria built estates in the region at Frankston North (Pines Forest Estate, 1950s and 1960s), Hastings (West Park Estate) and Mornington (Tanti Park Estate, 1960s and 1970s) as well as further afield, which created pockets of disadvantage. He said public housing should have been built throughout Hastings rather than in one area, “which is what is done nowadays”. The government started selling West Park homes to individuals in the 1980s, he said. Now only about 28 per cent of homes were owned by the state government. “There has been a big increase in community pride,” Mr Stahl said.

French Islanders hit out over ferry service Advice aplenty: Last year’s BayMob expo was hailed a great success.
Indigenous expo returns MORE than 300 people are expected to visit the annual BayMob Health and Education Expo at Monash University’s Peninsula campus in Frankston next week. Dozens of health and service providers will provide advice and assistance to members of the indigenous community. The expo, now in its fourth year, was developed to help break down barriers and build long-term partnerships between health, employment and educational service providers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. The event is sponsored by Peninsula Health and Monash University and supported by community organisations including Nairm Marr Djambana (Frankston Gathering Place), Frankston Council, Frankston/Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership, Building Strong Aboriginal Youth Project, Peninsula GP Network, Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, and Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local.
There will be more than 40 stallholders at the expo providing information and advice on a wide range of services, including youth, women’s and men’s health, education and employment pathways. Free activities will include live entertainment and dance workshops from beyondblue’s Indigenous Hip Hop Project, an elders’ lounge, physical activity sessions including Zumba, karate, tai chi and self-defence, and face painting, wildlife, animal farm and jumping castle for children. Peninsula Health’s Koori services leader Karan Kent said the expo was created in response to community needs, ideas and suggestions. “It is an occasion to embrace our culture, pride and identity – and to share knowledge to build capacity to take control of our own destiny by making informed choices about health and education,” she said. The BayMob Health and Education Expo is on Thursday 3 October from 10am to 3pm at Monash University, Peninsula campus, McMahons Rd, Frankston. Entry is free.
By Chris Brennan STATE transport officials have committed to a review of ferry operations connecting French Island to the mainland following a heated public meeting last weekend at which residents voiced concerns over the reliability of the service. French Island residents turned out en masse to the meeting last Sunday, which was organised by Hastings MP Neale Burgess and attended by Public Transport Victoria officials and an adviser to the Minister for Transport, following numerous complaints about the high number of cancellations of ferry services. About 80 residents filled the island’s public hall to express their frustration at the impact the unreliable ferry service was having on their lives, including missed medical appointments, children being stranded on the mainland and not being able to return home from school, and food running out with islanders unable to get to shops. “How would you feel if your children went to school in the morning and were not able to return home at night? How would you cope? Worried about them and trying to make arrangements for them to stay with a friend or somewhere safe?” one island mother asked PTV officials. Mr Burgess said it was important public transport officials heard for themselves from the community about the frustrations and anxieties they were forced to endure in having to rely on Inter Island Ferries’ French Island service. “I found it very disturbing to hear that school children going through important but stressful assessment periods of their education are losing sleep worrying about whether the ferry is going to run the next day and whether they will be able to get to school,” Mr Burgess said.
Fired up: Inter Island Ferries operator Frank Denvir, left, is invited to address French Island residents at a public meeting by Hastings MP Neale Burgess, right, who convened the event.
He pledged to “continue to work to resolve this issue for French Island residents” but was unable to provide a time frame for any action. PTV spokeswoman Helen Witton acknowledged the concerns of residents and said the matter was now being reviewed. “Public Transport Victoria representatives, in conjunction with Mr Neale Burgess MP, Member for Hastings, recently attended a meeting with French Island residents to discuss their concerns,” she said. “PTV and Mr Neale Burgess MP are now reviewing the concerns raised and will provide a response back to residents once the review is complete. “PTV understands that the ferry is a crucial transport link for French Island residents and so we will look at how things can be improved.” Also attending the meeting was ferry operator Frank Denvir who reacted angrily to some of the claims made by residents.

Take a gander, the geese are back THEIR numbers may have been decimated earlier this year, but the geese on the artificial lakes at Civic Reserve in Mornington are on the comeback trail. More than 82 geese and 45 ducks were caught and trucked out to lodgings on private land at Devon Meadows because the lakes were unable to sustain their growing numbers. The birds that managed to evade capture have dutifully followed natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course and have been breeding.
PAGE 24
Far outnumbered by native water hens, coots, chestnut teal and black ducks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a sprinkling of domestic ducks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 10 geese stand tall on the edges of the lakes. The three surviving goslings of one pair are a natural attraction for children and dogs, although the adult birds let out warning hisses if anyone comes too close. Passing dogs get the same treatment, with the proud parents ushering their inquisitive youngsters into the water for safety.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
America getting a crash course in Australia, man injured in landslide Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 September 1913. MR Fred Davison, President of the Australian Society of America, has contributed an article to “The Big Aus” in which he contends that if exhibits of Australian products were displayed in America, lantern slides of Australian country and towns shown, and interesting lectures delivered, the result would be a much more correct knowledge of Australia by Americans, a substantial increase of business between the two countries, and genuine settlers for the wasteland in Australia. Two hundred thousand Americans leave the United States every year to settle in Canada. But they do not leave because they get a vague notion that Canada is a pretty good place. Last year Canada signed 7000 advertising contracts with the newspapers. She has exhibited lecturers in the States, and the lecturers get what they go after. Canada counts that the settler is worth paying good money for, and she pays it, not haphazardly, but systematically. She wants the settler, and she secures him. Australia, he adds, must do the same. “She has very much more to offer than Canada, only the folks have nothing but wrong notions about Australia, while the Canadian sees to it that they know what there is to know about Canada – if it be good. Thousands of Americans, genuine settlers, can be induced to settle in the Northern Territory if the country and its prospects are made known to them.” *** AN accident happened last week to one of the employees, named James,
while working at the Naval Base. While on duty, a fall of earth occurred, which fell on James. Luckily although severe enough to cause the unfortunate man intense pain, nothing serious occurred. After receiving the attention of the first aid attendant, we are pleased to report the patient is progressing satisfactorily. *** THE report of the Mornington race club meeting was received too late for publication, but will appear next issue. A programme of 7 events was drawn up, and the prize money was increased from £72 to £81. *** MR Leslie Westaway, of Somerville, had a shock one day last week. A jibbing pony started off suddenly, when he slipped and fell. The wheel of the vehicle went over his leg, and somewhat bruised it. He is now limping round at his work. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co., will hold their usual monthly market at Tanti on Monday, October 6th. On Thursday, October 9th, the same firm will conduct a special horse sale at the Tanti Corporation Yards when a good yarding is expected. *** MR Jos. Thompson, of Crib Point, notifies by advertisement in this issue that he has now a full stock of timber, paints and oils, and general ironmongery, and that he is prepared to give estimates for all classes of work. *** MR Rintoul, a poultry expert recently appointed by the Department of Agriculture, is to deliver a lecture at the Methodist Church, Langwarrin, on
Monday evening, the 29th inst, under the auspices of the Progress Association. As the lecturer has such a world wide knowledge of his subject, which is to be on the hatching and rearing of chickens and all poultry, all interested should attend. The lecture starts at 8 p.m., and is free to all. *** THE committee of the Somerville Mechanics is to be congratulated on the new departure it made on Wednesday night of last week, when arrangements were made with Mr Le Souef to give his lecture on the bird life of the islands off the coast of Queensland and the islands in Bass Straits. There was a good attendance of both young and the more matured. The pictures manipulated by Mr Searle were with one exception taken from life and were most interesting. This class of entertainment is a treat and the committee are to be complimented for this move in an educational direction. A vote of thanks was moved and carried by acclamation, to the lecturer and his assistant. *** CLARENCE H. Smith, Limited, Ardrossan, South Australia, advertises in our columns that agents are wanted everywhere to sell on commission the famous Smith ploughs. *** THE next of the series of socials in connection with St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, will take place in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening next. A good programme has been prepared, and an enjoyable evening is assured. *** THE death occurred at Somerville
on Tuesday, 23rd inst., of Mr Henry Joseph Noble, aged 54 years. The deceased was a resident of the district for many years, and was well known and highly respected throughout the Peninsula. He leaves a widow and five children to mourn their loss, and we extend to them our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. *** THE first train to travel along the new line which is in construction from Crib Point railway station to the Naval Base Depot ran on Wednesday. This line is to be used for Base purposes only, and is between two and three miles in length. *** THE weekly assembly that is being held every Tuesday in the local hall as well patronised last week, it being the monthly long night. These dances are the means of bringing many friends and neighbours together. *** THE concert and dance held in the hall on Thursday by the Hastings Variety Company was a great success. A full report will appear next week. *** DEEP sympathy is expressed by many of the old residents on hearing of the death of Mr H. Peddle, the much valued postmaster at Hastings. Mr Peddle was much esteemed by those who had a distance to travel. When doing any business he was always willing to help them in any way. *** THE annual meeting of the cricket club was rather hurriedly called, and was held on Wednesday, 17th inst. It was intended to wait until after the first meeting of the Peninsula Cricket
Association had been held, but time would not permit any further delay. About a dozen members were present, and the necessary arrangements for carrying on the club for another season were completed. The secretary (Mr A. E. Hollier) read the annual report, balance sheet and averages for the past season, all of which pointed to the flourishing condition of the club. The highest batting average recorded by Mr J. D. Grant, was as follows:- 14 innings, 396 runs, highest score 74, not out 2, average 33. The following splendid bowling average was put up by Mr Fred Floyd:- 14 overs, 29 maidens, 808 runs, 52 wickets, average 592. The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £3 11s 11d. *** BEFORE Messrs P. Cohen P.M, J. G. Barrett, G. Flood, E. L McCaughan, A. E. Bates, E . Duffus and Dr Somers J’s.P, Mrs O. Gorman v. W. Hendricks, claim for £1 for board and lodging. An order was made for the amount with 5s costs. James White sued Thomas O’Connor, claim for £12 amount due for a pony sold and delivered. Mr McInerney appeared for complainant and Mr Cook for defendant. This case was heard before a local Bench of Magistrates on the 11th inst., and as they could not agree the case was adjourned in order that witnesses who were unable to attend, and it being also Mr Cohen’s day. After several witnesses were called on both sides, the case was dismissed with £5 costs against complainant. A number of renewals of stage, carriage and carriers’ licenses were granted.

The meaning of existence (and other short stories)
By Stuart McCullough
The ugly truth about being ugly By Stuart McCullough IMAGINE it. There you are, minding your own business when, out of nowhere, the world’s media descends like rain, wanting to know everything about you. Not because you’ve done something spectacular or have discovered anything miraculous, but just for being yourself. It would be unnerving to say the least. But what might seem intrusive becomes downright insulting when the reason for all this unsolicited attention becomes clear – you have just been voted by a substantial margin the world’s ugliest animal. It would be difficult to know how to respond. Spare a thought, then, for Australia’s own Blobfish. The circumstances may not be ideal but, when all’s said and done, everyone loves a winner. Being crowned the world champion of anything will invariably open up a bunch of opportunities, including for this previously underappreciated creature. It begs the obvious question: if being crowned Miss Universe can get you a spot on a travel show and a sponsorship with a major department store, what bounty of riches awaits the Blobfish? Host of Deal Or No Deal? Guest judge on The X Factor? Perhaps even a role on Neighbours? Let’s face it – the cast has sorely lacked diversity over the years. They may have had a Toadfish, but I don’t believe they’ve ever had a Blobfish. I, for one, look forward to the day when the Blobfish strides
across the stage to collect a Logie for best new talent. If it was up to me, I’d ensure that Australia’s newest hero steered clear of the soaps in favour of something with a little more class. Like TV’s The Bachelor. Forget hauling out some spruced-up male model with chiselled good looks, dimples, designer stubble and abdominals that resemble a slate roof. Being good looking has been done to death and, quite frankly, is as dull as cleaning your ears. In fact, there’s something inherently tiresome about conventionally handsome peo-
ple; so much so that it’s bordering on cliché. I’d go so far as to say that shows like The Bachelor suffer greatly because everyone involved is (at least externally speaking) horrifically good-looking. It’s time to mess with the formula. What it needs, more than anything else, is a different perspective. Imagine the Blobfish, dressed in a tuxedo, taking prospective life partners out on dates and dishing out roses like nobody’s business. Now that’s a television show worth watching. But for all the perks that sudden fame can bring, it’s worth remember-
ing that the poor old Blobfish did not shamelessly seek out all this attention. Presumably it did not nominate itself as the world’s ugliest animal. It wasn’t even an intruder in the Big Brother house. No, the Blobfish has become famous purely by chance. Plucked both from obscurity and the ocean somewhere off the coast of Queensland, it now has to defend itself to a world obsessed with physical appearance. That said, the humble Blobfish is used to pressure. That’s because when it isn’t busy being famous and winning awards, it lives in waters between 600 and 1200 metres deep. At that depth, the pressure is dozens of times greater than at sea level and many creatures, including other members of the Big Brother house, would be unable to survive. This, of course, is not necessarily a bad thing. The Blobfish, however, thrives in this environment by being a gelatinous mass that expends as little energy as possible on fripperies such as swimming. What it hasn’t got in muscles it more than makes up for by not being a fussy eater, consuming any edible matter that happens to float in front of it. As it happens, I took almost exactly the same approach during my teenage years. Just because the Blobfish is unlikely to be confused for George Clooney is no reason to hate him. Besides, what he lacks in traditional good looks he more than makes up for with personal-
ity. And that goes double for the Blobfish. As for me, I feel that this pink, gelatinous mass that floats along the bottom of the ocean may well be something of a kindred spirit. So before we get caught up debating what is and isn’t ugly, allow me to be the first to say: enough! It’s time for us to lighten up. We don’t all need to be supermodels and it would be a horrible world if we were. It’s all a matter of preference anyway. Ugliness, just like beauty, is very much in the eye of the beholder. There’s no need to accept someone else’s opinion as to what is or isn’t aesthetically pleasing. Beauty is wherever you find it. Even at the bottom of the ocean. I, for one, say give me a Blobfish over The Bachelor any day of the week. Should it happen to be accompanied by chips and a light salad, then so much the better. So to any Blobfish that might be reading this, don’t let others bring you down. I think you’re terrific. I believe you should be celebrated rather than derided and I’d like to see you added to our coat of arms at the earliest opportunity. Why? Because, in a funny kind of way, you represent us all. In truth, there’s a little bit of Blobfish in each and every person. Well done on your award. stuart@stuartmccullough.com
The doctor is in at Manyung Gallery Sorrento DOCTOR of creative arts Bruce Earles opened an exhibition of his colourful paintings at the newly refurbished Sorrento arm of Manyung Gallery on Saturday 21 September. Sorrento now boasts 10 art spaces with some being seasonal. “Manyung’s presence in Sorrento enhances and contributes to the precinct’s growing recognition as a regional focal point for viewing art, particularly works on canvas,” gallery director David Wemyss-Smith said. Earles established a reputation on the peninsula during the 1980s for his astute brushwork, which sometimes trumpeted environmental themes. At
the time he was a member of the Roar Studios Collective in Fitzroy. Today, with enduring creativity, his works are often held as investment pieces that are also especially appropriate for brightening up dull wall space; highly coloured, highly textured, busy, joyful bird’s eye views of urban life. Fleeting images of city experiences in a seaside setting: birds, dogs, trees, ships, planes and factories; simple images combined with complex structure, creating a harmony, in total, that is often uplifting and encourages a curiosity to closely view.

Peninsula League 2013 round-up: Eagles eye off back-to-back flags By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly EDITHVALE-Aspendale coach Troy Shannon is already looking forward to the 2014 season, just a week after tasting the ultimate success in Peninsula League football. After celebrating a sensational come from behind victory against Bonbeach in the Grand Final, Shannon said the focus was now firmly on 2014. “I was reappointed a month before the finals for 2014 and we are already a fair way down the track with a couple of recruits for next year,” Shannon said. “I have no doubt that we’ll be stronger again next season. “There was certainly some chat immediately after the premiership from some of the guys, talking about retiring. However, later in the week, the talk shifted towards going back-toback.” Shannon said 2013 was a sensational year for the club, coming from the wooden spoon the year before. “A lot of people wouldn’t have known that of the 22 who played in the premiership, 18 of those guys played juniors with our club,” Shannon said. “It just goes to show how quickly things can turn around if you recruit wisely. “Matthew Kremmer, Drew Westfield and Markham Johnson were the three big blokes we needed up forward, down back and in the ruck. All played a key role in us winning the flag. Adam Budge was the big, strong midfielder we needed. “We recruited smartly for what we needed and the results didn’t surprise.” Away from the emotion that was
grand final day, Shannon said he never lost faith in his players winning the Grand Final. Down by five goals at three quarter time and with players appearing injured or sick, Edithvale booted six goals in the last quarter to overrun the Sharks. It was an amazing feat. “We always thought that if we were close enough to them at three quarter time, we could give it a real shake. “I just told the players to believe in themselves, don’t leave anything in the tank and try anything and everything to get a spark. “We had a dozen players in the side who had lost two grand finals before and they didn’t want to make it three. From the 16-28 minute mark of the last quarter, the Eagles soared to new levels. Although he tried to play it down, Shannon also masterminded some changes that contributed to the win. He put his A-graders in Tim Mavric, Steve Mannix and Tim Mannix on the ball, Nick Connellan went from full back to full forward, Kremmer was moved out to centre half forward and Brent Bowden was moved to centre half back. “Well, in those situations, you’re either a genius or a mug,” Shannon said. “On reflection, all of those moves paid off for us. However, if we lost, people would have been asking why I did it. “They seemed like logical moves to make, given we had some blokes carrying gastro into the game and the likes of Johnson and Nathan Dunn were injured.
“It all happened for us in 10 minutes of footy. “An early goal to Connellan gave us the hope and then I think things really changed when Mavric gave Mark Tyrell a 10-metre start and chased him down on the wing. “The boys lifted, the crowd got excited and we dominated the remainder of the game. “It was a memorable victory and a great week of celebrations, but now it’s all about 2014. It will be interesting to see what the fallout of the loss will be at Bonbeach. The Sharks had defeat snatched from the jaws of victory and there would have been plenty of soul searching through the week. The finger has been unfairly pointed directly at the coach Steve Capp, who some believe allowed his side to be overrun. The fact is that Capp had good reason to believe in his team’s structures – they had, after all, won 10 in a row. They had also run over many teams in 2013. Momentum is hard to get back once a side and the crowd is up and about. Halfway through the last quarter, the Sharks were still four goals in front. The club as a whole should be hurting after the Grand Final loss, not out looking for a scapegoat. The big talk if the Sharks won the Grand Final was that the likes of Ricky Ferraro and Shane McDonald would chase the big money that has been offered to them over the years. It now appears they may stay to see if they can achieve the ultimate success with their home club.
Third placed Frankston YCW is well down the path of interviewing coaches. Two-time premiership coach Gavin Artico was seen arriving at the club’s decision makers through the week. Whilst there is plenty of speculation about the likes of Byron and Anthony Barry, the strong word is that they are not leaving YCW. That goes for the likes of Kyle Hutchison also, who is rumoured to be on the shopping list of many clubs. The same can’t be said though of forwards David Bodley and Michael Chaplin, along with a couple of younger players like Rhys Johnson, who are in talks with opposition clubs already. Mt Eliza will be looking to add some depth to their team in the off-season, as well as building up a couple of their good Under 18s. There are plenty of them. The future is bright at the Redlegs for a few more years to come and like Edi-Asp, they just need a couple of structural players to shore them up. They lost three of the game’s best last season in Michael Lourey, Sam Lloyd and Scott Simpson. Put them back in and they will challenge for the title again. Mornington needs to add some more experience and harder bodies to its list if it is to move up the ladder next season. Self-belief is something that has been missing for the Dogs for the past six years but they got this back in 2013 and with some hard work in the offseason, they will be there or thereabouts again. Pines missed out on finals by a whisker and had a very good season.
Off-field the club is in good shape and on-field, they are extremely well coached by Steve Ryan. Recruiting hasn’t been easy for the Pythons over the years but they’ll need to improve this to make a move next season. Karingal is at a crossroads. Coach Brendan Dunne has taken the job at Hastings and a number of their stars are already fielding calls from opposition clubs. These names include Steve Charalambous, Cal Dixon, Chris Hay, David Hirst and Jarrod Eames. Quite simply, with no juniors coming through, the Bulls cannot afford to lose even one player. Hirst has applied for the Karingal coaching job and many believe that if he does not get it, he’ll take the Somerville coaching role in Nepean League. Langwarrin can expect to be the big movers in 2014. The Kangas’ second half to the 2013 season was very good. They will appoint a new senior coach within the week. They plan to move heaven and earth to get back a number of the juniors that it lost two seasons ago. Seaford is also looking for a new coach. The Tigers had very strong reserves (with an average age of 22) and their Under 18s finished on top of the ladder. A good coach will see them climb up the ladder again. Braeden Irving is tipped to join his brothers at the Dolphins. Chelsea is looking for a coach. The big word already at the Gulls is that former Melbourne and Brisbane player, Travis Johnstone, is joining the Gulls. Johnstone has also been linked to Bonbeach.

Nepean League 2013 round-up: Sorrento sacks coach of the year

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly IT is always interesting to sit back and watch the fall-out of a Grand Final loss. After going through the season undefeated, Sorrento was smashed in the Grand Final by a side (Dromana) that was never going to achieve anything less than winning the flag in 2013. Sorrento played its grand final against Rosebud in the preliminary the week before and had no gas left in the tank. Was this the fault of the coach? Apparently so, because the Sorrento Football Club called Nepean Team of the Year coach Nick Claringbold on Tuesday night and told him his services were no longer required. Claringbold is the coach who was behind the moves that saw Sorrento win the flag last season, whilst being the off-field man in charge when Troy Schwarze was ‘officially’ the coach. Sorrento’s reason for sacking Claringbold? “We want to move forward next season with a playing coach.” Now, we told our readers a month ago that Sorrento was looking at midfielder Leigh Treeby to take the reins next season. However, despite all the speculation, which was gained more traction two weeks ago, Claringbold was never spoken to by the club. Not once was he asked to come in and stake his claim for the job. Despite the media reports, never was he called to be told the “club was going through a process”. Instead, Claringbold had to be given filtered information from friends at the club to understand what was going on. This is extremely poor management from a club that consistently pounds its chest about how well it does things. Regardless, Claringbold was typically professional when he spoke with us after his sacking. “I’m obviously very disappointed but the club wanted to move in a certain direction,” Claringbold said. “They want a playing coach and unfortunately I’m not young enough to play anymore,” he joked. Asked how he felt about the media knowing more about what was going
on than him, again he replied with: “that was very disappointing also”. There’s a lot of irony in football and upon hearing of Claringbold’s sacking, premiers Dromana were quickly on the telephone. Claringbold met with the Tigers last Friday and is believed to be the front runner for the job, vacated by Gavin Artico. Artico said Claringbold was an outstanding coach and would be the ideal person to take over at Tigerland. Claringbold confirmed he was “catching up for a coffee” with the Tigers and showed genuine interest in the role. “I certainly want to continue coaching,” Claringbold said. On Sorrento, it is believed that Troy Schwarze has also thrown his hat into the ring for their vacant coaching position. Treeby is in Bali on holidays. Also, there was big rumour that two of their high profile players got into a scuffle at a club function in the past week. Meanwhile, Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan are heading interstate to play together. At Dromana, it appears the likes of Ryan Slocombe and Rikki Johnson will go around again, which is great news for the new coach. However, brothers Jay and Matt Neratzoglou may be on the move after Matt was left out of the premiership side. Third placed Rosebud was a heartbeat away from a grand final berth this season and only needs a few top-ups to take it to the next level in 2014. Matthew Payne is expected to head back to Queensland, which would be a massive loss for the club. Frankston Bombers finished the season in horrible form and need to have a big pre-season to progress next season. Discipline was a massive issue with the club in the second half of the season. Club legends Nathan and Ryan Lonie, Brian O’Carroll and Haydn Moore have all retired. These four were in the best six players at the club this season. Jay Page is a star but there’s no guarantees he’ll stay with the Bombers either. Pearcedale is already in negotiation
with some players and is confident that it will not lose anyone off the list that finished fourth after the home and away season. There was some talk about Travis Sauer retiring. Ben Cadd has not yet been reappointed but it is expected to be a formality. Crib Point is without a coach after Dave Lawson left the top chair. The Magpies have been so close in the past couple of seasons but couldn’t take the next step. Hopefully the players stick together and they can appoint a playing coach in the coming weeks. There’s a bit happening at Hastings. Former Karingal coach Brendan Dunne is an outstanding leader and will bring plenty to the table. However, it appears he’s going to have a tough time keeping Tony Mirabella, Andy Kiely and Daniel Wischart, while club legend Jason Kestle is also rumoured to be on the move. Somerville offers the plum coaching job in Nepean League. The Eagles were very competitive this season and just need some experience to go with the abundance of junior talent. Its Under 18s won the flag. Former coach Leigh Stewart, who sits on 299 games, is believed to be happy staying in the Eagles’ nest. One wonders whether Crib Point has given him a call? Don’t expect to see Rye in the bottom half of the draw next season. The Demons are on a recruiting drive and its list is said to be keen to have a big pre-season. 2012 league goal kicking machine Justin Van Unen is said to be the number one target for the Demons. Red Hill will also be a big mover in 2014. Three-time premiership coach Tony Blackford is now at the helm and Andrew Brady is his right hand man. Together, they have a little black book with plenty of footy numbers and Blackford has already spoken to more than 30 possible recruits. Tyabb has appointed Ray Hallal as senior coach and according to the club, they are very financial and in a position to recruit. Time will tell. Devon Meadows was the underachiever of the league last season but is expected to recruit well in the offseason and make its way up the ladder in 2014.
