Future flood blueprint By Mike Hast A BLUEPRINT to cope with climate change flooding in the Rosebud and McCrae area in the short term and over the next 90 years has been released. The Port Phillip Coastal Adaptation Pathways Program states the benefits of “occupying the hazard zone, derived from its use by residents and businesses, is valued at about $35 million a year between now and 2100� and Mornington Peninsula Shire should start spending money to adapt to predicted sea level rise and significant

flooding caused by extreme rainfall. The adaptation program studied four bayside areas – Rosebud-McCrae, Mordialloc, Elwood and Southbank as well as a low-lying area in North Melbourne. Elements of the report were reported by The News last November (“Rosebud 2010 flood risk�, 1/11/12) including that it could cost $100 million to protect Rosebud and McCrae. Last September, shire CEO Michael Kennedy told councillors the gap between the cost of retreat and adaptation was so great “it’s not a tough call�. Ad-

foreshore, including the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre planned for the Rosebud foreshore near Rosebud Memorial Hall. The study says that without adaptation, “the current cost of flooding is expected to increase from over $7 million to more than $9 million per year under the assumed climate change scenario�. “As such, the annual value of occupying the hazard zone by 2100 is three times greater than the expected costs of flooding.

aptation was the cheaper option. The study said it would cost $100 million to adapt “but we say it is less�. The report came to light last year after shire councillors held a private meeting that was accidentally taped and put on the shire’s website. The adaptation report states the cost of coping with flooding could be $9 million a year if the shire does nothing now. The Murray-Anderson Catchment spanning Rosebud and McCrae was the area chosen by the shire for the study.

Labor’s ‘local’ for September poll By Keith Platt JOSHUA Sinclair will be the Labor Party’s candidate for Flinders at the 14 September federal election. The 21-year-old of Somerville will be contesting the seat held since 2001 by the Opposition’s environment spokesman Greg Hunt. Mr Hunt, 48, holds the seat for the Liberal Party with a 9.1 per cent majority, making the it “very tough to get into”, according to Mr Sinclair. Having said that, he is undeterred by the task, quoting the finer margin by which another Liberal, Bruce Billson, holds the neighbouring seat of Dunkley. “Labor didn’t do a lot of activity down south in the Flinders electorate before the last election,” Mr Sinclair said. “But I live in Somerville and know what residents in the electorate worry about.” He sees Flinders as “a pretty conservative seat”. He said Labor had “done more for the environment than any political party in history” and was looking forward to “testing my ideas on Greg Hunt at some stage”. Mr Sinclair attended the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza for primary and secondary schooling and freely admits that his ideas on politics, social justice and the environment differed “with those of most of my classmates, although that’s not necessarily a private or public school thing”. Mr Hunt was also a student at Peninsula. Last year Mr Sinclair was a candidate in the Watson Ward elections for

Mornington Peninsula Shire, losing to the now mayor, Cr Lynne Bowden. “The result was 43 per cent to her 57 per cent [of votes], but it was good experience for me,” Mr Sinclair said. He joined the Labor Party in 2010, works part-time in a restaurant and one day at week in the office of the Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, the federal MP for Isaacs, which covers the southeastern suburbs.

He is nearing completion of a Bachelor of Arts degree at Monash University and aims for a Masters of Laws. He is reluctant to speculate too much about the future. “Three years ago I would never have imagined I’d be running for federal parliament. When I applied to work at Mr Dreyfus’s office he wasn’t Attorney-General, and now look what’s happened.”

Plan for Pt Nepean ‘investment’ By Keith Platt A NEW master plan is designed to provide “appropriate investment” at Point Nepean’s “under-utilised” 17-hectare quarantine station precinct. When releasing the plan on Sunday, Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said it was “central to breathing new life” into the historic precinct. “Due to the site’s former use as a military barracks, many of its 50 plus buildings have been locked up from public access over many decades,” Mr Smith said. “Appropriate and sensitive private investment is critical in ensuring the long-term survival of the site’s historic and culturally significant buildings.” But it is the height and use of new buildings that most concerns those who have been involved in past battles to prevent overdevelopment at Point Nepean. “High rise seems to be a fetish of this government,” Chris Smyth of the Victorian National Parks Association said. “New buildings should be no higher than those already at Point Nepean.” Mr Smyth said heritage buildings should be “adapted” or new buildings limited to the footprints of any buildings slated for demolition. “We want to see a diverse mix of uses in the park, not just a major enterprise that could fall over.” He said some proposals made before control of the land was handed to Victoria were “half baked”. Mr Smyth said the VNPA would not object to the demolition of two blocks built by the army in the 1970s, although it would prefer the sites to remain unused to “open up the view”. The master plan allows for the replacement of “non-significant build-

Point of view: Victorian National Parks Association would like to see the demolition of 1970s buildings at Point Nepean, above, without any new building in their place but investors and the state government are likely to want to capitalise on the views. Right, the plan also includes provision for a jetty and “short-stay” boat moorings.

ings with new buildings of appropriate scale and form”. “The design of new buildings should respect the curtilage [surrounds] of significant buildings and precincts, and use compatible contemporary materials and details,” the plan states. “New buildings should be sited so as not to interrupt major vistas through the site.” Minister Smith said the latest plan was “a key step in securing private sector investment to help preserve this important part of our history, ensuring it is cared for and accessible to the Victorian public”. The government was determined to

“strike the right balance between preserving the historical, natural and cultural values of the national park and ensuring the buildings in the quarantine station precinct are able to support an appropriate mix of tourism and other opportunities, including potential cultural, recreational and educational uses”. Mr Smith said a commercial expression of interest would be marketed locally, nationally and internationally. “A shortlisted group of organisations will then be invited to submit a formal proposal on the future uses of the site,” he said. “We want to see proposals that cater for people from all backgrounds,

that are affordable, accessible and that make a contribution to the local economy by creating jobs and tourism opportunities on the peninsula.” A report by the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission last month recommended “sensible and sensitive developments in national parks” to unlock Victorian tourism. Victoria Tourism Industry Council chief executive Dianne Smith said the plan “shows real vision for a site that has so much unfulfilled potential and sets out sensible and appropriate options for Point Nepean”. “Increased visitor activity at Point Nepean will benefit the local and state

economy, providing jobs and economic activity long into the future,” Ms Smith said. “There must be a collaborative approach to implementing this master plan from all stakeholders, including industry, and state and local government, to ensure the site is developed into a sustainable tourism destination that considers the environmental sensitivities of the area.” A community information session will be held 10am-2pm at the quarantine station on Saturday 4 May. The Point Nepean master plan is available at www.dse.vic.gov.au

MP urges universities to merge at the point FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt hopes Melbourne and Monash universities can establish a “joint educational facility” at Point Nepean. “My overwhelming preference is for environmental education to be at the centre of any use for the quarantine station and I will work to that end,” Mr Hunt said. His comments follow Sunday’s release of a master plan for the development of Point Nepean National Park and, in particular, the use of buildings and land in the 17-hectare quarantine station precinct. Mr Hunt has previously backed the Launceston-based Australian Maritime

College opening a campus at Point Nepean and a “National Centre for Coasts and Climate” run by Melbourne University. Financial problems saw the AMC eventually back away from its plans while Mr Hunt blamed the then Labor state government for Melbourne University not establishing what he described as “a great research facility on a boutique scale”. In June 2010 Mr Hunt told federal parliament the state had “pocketed” $7 million allocated to Melbourne University. He was also critical of the state’s plans for a hotel at Point Nepean and

“commercial exploitation”. The latest master plan sets aside land for various types of accommodation as well as a university or TAFE campus. “The plan explicitly refers to environmental and outdoor education and research as one of the three core uses,” Mr Hunt said. “I have long stated that the establishment of an environmental educational facility such as a National Centre for Coasts and Climate should be at the centre of any refurbishment of the historic buildings of the quarantine station. “In that context I have made clear representations on behalf of the com-

for 110 student places, which could underpin a coastal and environmental centre,” he said. “I have had ongoing discussions with both Melbourne and Monash universities about the possibility of a joint educational facility at Point Nepean and remain hopeful that we can achieve this. “I will continue to work with both institutions and the Victorian government on a future plan for Point Nepean.” The master plan agrees that Point Nepean is “well placed” for education programs.

munity to the Victorian government and am pleased those comments have been taken on board and reflected in the new master plan. “I also encourage education institutions to take up this significant opportunity to become a part of the historic quarantine station as a unique site for a marine and environmental research centre. I will be doing all I can to make that a reality.” When contacted by The News, Mr Hunt replied that he was “delighted” that buildings at Point Nepean were ready for use. “The Coalition previously provided Melbourne University with funding

Court dumps VCAT ruling on ‘swamp homes’ By Mike Hast THE Supreme Court on Friday overturned the state planning tribunal’s decision to stop a 41-lot subdivision on the edge of Tootgarook Swamp at Rosebud West. The ruling is a win for Mornington Peninsula Shire and the developer, and a blow for the community group Save Tootgarook Swamp, which took the matter to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last year. Cameron Brown of Save Tootgarook Swamp said he was disappointed with the decision but the group would continue to fight to preserve the swamp. He said the court’s ruling left a lot of questions unanswered but the swamp group could not afford to appeal the decision. “The biggest disappointment is the court knocked out matters of compliance such as the site being filled from the wrong direction, noxious weeds arriving in the fill, insufficient buffer zone next to Chinamans Creek during filling, lack of sediment controls for water going into the creek and the planned drainage reserve not yet completed,” he said.

The court’s judgment gave the green light to developers to “warehouse” projects for an indefinite period, he said. In December the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal ordered a stop work on the subdivision at 85 Elizabeth Ave, which was bought for $3.1 million by Yarra Valley-based TJBP Pty Ltd in January 2012. Save Tootgarook Swamp alleged in the VCAT that the shire had incorrectly extended the permit in 2011 and the developer had contravened conditions set by the tribunal when it approved the subdivision in 2007 including environmental controls to protect Chinamans Creek and Tootgarook Swamp as well as flora and fauna. VCAT member Dalia Cook agreed and ordered work be stopped on 20 December. On Tuesday the shire issued a press release from mayor Cr Lynn Bowden stating it had “always been confident that the shire officer’s decision was correct, and that the Supreme Court would decide as it did”. “This was a very important legal issue for council, and ... for all local government because VCAT’s decision cre-

ated a legal uncertainty which needed to be resolved,” she said. Cr Bowden said the Supreme Court action was not about whether council “liked or didn’t like” the development, which was “refused by council in 2003 and subsequently approved by VCAT”. “The Supreme Court’s decision confirms that shire officers acted correctly in extending the life of the planning permit in August 2011 and in certifying new subdivision plans in March 2012,” she said. Cr Bowden said shire officers would now address compliance issues associated with works at the site including dewatering (pumping of water off the land to enable construction of trenches for services such as sewage). Mr Brown said dewatering saw between 120-130 million litres removed, which affected nearby parts of the swamp. “Tootgarook Swamp is the groundwater height of the Nepean peninsula,” he said. The matter is before the VCAT but was put on hold for the Supreme Court action. It is likely to be heard in June. Cr Bowden said the shire would not be seeking costs from Mr Brown but

had reserved its right to claim costs from the Supreme Court appeals cost fund. “This minimises the costs to ratepayers of taking Supreme Court action,” she said. Tony Smith of developer TJBP said he and his partners were relieved with the court’s decision. He said they had spent about $70,000 in the VCAT and about $170,000 in the Supreme Court, including hiring QC Stuart Morris, the former head of VCAT. Save Tootgarook Swamp spent about $7000 in the VCAT, covered by public subscription, and about $14,000 in the Supreme Court. Mr Smith said it had not been decided whether to seek costs from Save Tootgarook Swamp but knew the group had little money. He said the development would improve drainage in the area. Mr Smith said TJBP had sold five of the 41 lots before the stop work order but the sales had fallen through. “We contacted our selling agent on Friday afternoon when the court decision was issued and it looks like three

blocks have been sold since then,” he said on Tuesday evening. The 14 blocks fronting Elizabeth Ave would be sold first as they had power, water and sewage connected. The shire spent about $150,000 for the Supreme Court hearing, far less than if it had been sued by the developer, which had spent more than $1 million when the stop work was issued including trucking in fill to raise the site above flood level. Shire councillors last August voted to push for Tootgarook Swamp to be listed as a Ramsar site in accordance with the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Ramsar sites throughout the world protect the habitat of migratory birds. Cameron Brown said the swamp was a “lifeboat for fauna and flora”. “About 130 bird species have been recorded in the wetlands, 13 reptilian species including nine amphibious frog species, and 12 mammals including five kinds of bats,” he said. “The swamp also is home to at least nine endangered plant communities.”

Shaw’s timing changed play of state By Keith Platt THE balance of power in state parliament might be different today if Ted Baillieu had resigned as premier nine hours earlier on Wednesday 6 March. Frankston MP Geoff Shaw says he would not have quit the Parliamentary Liberal Party to become an independent if Mr Baillieu had been first out the door. Mr Shaw, under investigation by police and the parliament’s privileges committee over the alleged misuse of his taxpayer-funded vehicle and fuel card, handed his letter of resignation to the Deputy Premier Louise Asher nine hours before Mr Baillieu announced he would step down as Premier. “I was surprised, yes,” Mr Shaw told The News. “I wouldn’t have resigned if Baillieu had gone first.” He has not spoken with Mr Baillieu since: “That’s not unusual; Ted was not a good communicator with [MPs on] the backbench.” As with many things political, there are fine degrees of separation. On paper the government holds power with the thinnest of majorities, but Mr Shaw remains a member of the Liberal Party and has made it clear he will not bring down the government by supporting the Labor Opposition. He speaks highly of the new Premier, Denis Napthine, “he will be a terrific leader; he communicates with people, including backbenchers”. Does this mean he will apply to rejoin the parliamentary party and resume his seat alongside his former Liberal colleagues? “I’ve made my decision for now. We’ll see what happens as time goes on.” Mr Shaw says he is “doing nothing” about establishing an election committee. “I’ll get stuff done for Frankston, that’s my major focus.” As far as he knows, the Liberal Party is not looking for a future Frankston candidate. “But, yes, I will be standing for the next election. I have enough support in Frankston.”

Numbers man: When it comes to counting votes, newly independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw holds the key to the state government’s future.

Mr Shaw said the Liberal Party branches control money raised by the Frankston electorate’s fundraising organisation, the 1500 Club. “I can’t use it as an independent; it’s all Liberal Party money.” On the day he resigned Mr Shaw was whisked away from Parliament House by Hastings MP Neale Burgess. While the media was trying to find Mr Shaw, he was dining with two MPs, although he declines to provide their names. He says Mr Burgess was not one of them because “he had to go back to the party room”. Earlier in the day journalists had been looking for him in Frankston “when I was in Parliament all the time”.

The sole explanation Mr Shaw gives for his resignation is dissatisfaction with Mr Baillieu’s leadership. “It was my idea that if the ship was not turned we would be a one-term government and it would be best for Frankston for me to be an independent. “People may have taken what I did and expanded on that, but that [Mr Baillieu’s departure] was not necessarily my goal.” Mr Shaw said polls showed Victorians had “lost faith” in the government’s leadership. Despite all the media coverage of investigations into the use of Mr Shaw’s parliamentary vehicle, a Ford Territory, he claims to have no direct or official knowledge of any investigations. “No one has spoken to me,” he said. Geoff Shaw seemed surprised when told that David Morris, a Liberal MP in the neighbouring electorate of Mornington, was a member of the privileges committee investigating the allegations against Mr Shaw. Mr Napthine was the committee’s chairman until being made Premier. And so it is with the police investigation, Mr Shaw denying any knowledge of it. “It is ridiculous to be running these inquiries without speaking to me. Fancy not being notified except through the media? “I’ve yet to be talked to by any inquiries. No one has approached or communicated in any way. I don’t know who is on any committee. “Why should I worry about stuff like that? I decide my own future.” When asked about being described as a rebel or renegade MP, Mr Shaw adds “rascal” and “maverick” to the list. “Unpredictable was another word journalists pulled from their butt,” he said. “Journalists are looking for new words. They’re trying to get a byline. I can’t control what the media writes. “I try not to worry about things I can’t control.” Continued Page 12

Shire told to get ready for flood Continued from Page 1

Future flooding: Large parts of Rosebud and McCrae would be flooded during a 100-year rainfall event combined with a storm in Port Phillip. The dark blue shows water of more than two metres depth. Picture: Port Phillip Coastal Adaptation Pathways Program

Who and what will be flooded THE Port Phillip Coastal Adaptation Pathways Program states the Point Nepean Rd and Mornington Peninsula Freeway in Rosebud and McCrae are likely to be flooded in most events. “There is likely to be flooding ... in severe events resulting in the likely closure of both main road links to and from the peninsula.” Other places at risk according to the study include:  Rosebud Primary School – There is likely to be some flooding to school grounds in the 100 year ARI climate change scenario. However, the majority of school buildings are at the higher end of the land parcel and are not

likely to be impacted.  McCrae and Rosebud yacht clubs – There is likely to be some flooding in all modelled events. Larger climate change events are expected to cause significant inundation and damage to buildings and boats.  Rosebud and McCrae Life Saving Club – The life saving club is likely to be affected in the 20-year ARI and 100 ARI climate change scenarios due to inundation from sea level rise and storm surge.  Foreshore camping area – There is likely to be flooding in all scenarios ranging from 10 centimetres to 50cm. Depths have been converted to an estimated time of closure for the camping area to estimate losses to the local economy.

“For this area, the most economically favourable adaptation pathway is to improve resilience to current flood events while reducing risk from the current 100 year ARI flood events. “ARI is average recurrence interval, the expected time between the events that exceed a given value (for example rainfall or wave height). Also referred to as the ‘return period’, it is usually expressed in years. For example, the 1-in-100 year rainfall experienced during a storm event will on average only be exceeded once every 100 years. However, it does not mean it cannot happen more, or less, frequently than every 100 years.” Maps in the study show flooding in large areas of Rosebud between Jetty Rd and Lonsdale St, and parts of McCrae east of Lonsdale St. This would occur during a “perfect storm” of coastal flooding combined with heavy rains when stormwater would not flow into Port Phillip. Suggestions in the study include:  Increase the height of Mornington Peninsula Freeway to act as a flood barrier for runoff from Arthurs Seat.  Improve shire and community awareness, preparedness and recovery from flood events.  Continue to improve drainage in conjunction with Melbourne Water. “This is likely to be the most cost-effective approach to reduce current and future flood risks.”  Protect or move “a number of criti-

cal community assets” in the hazard zone. “Damage or loss of these assets will affect key public services and amenity.”  Future flood risk should be considered in council’s planned changes to LSIO [land subject to inundation overlay] boundaries.  Roles and responsibilities for adaptation need to be defined between relevant organisations, including state and local government. Responsibilities will change over time as the impacts of climate change become more severe.  Regular monitoring and review of inundation risks should be integrated into existing council strategies and plans. “This analysis supports the decision that retreating from the entire study area is not a viable adaptation approach,” the study says. “However, a similar economic analysis at an individual land parcel level may provide different results and therefore retreat at the micro level may be appropriate to consider for higher risk areas.” The study was prepared for the Municipal Association of Victoria with the cooperation of councils and funded from the federal Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. Last year the government’s climate change department said almost 250,000 coastal homes worth more than $60 billion were at risk of flooding from sea level rise over the next 90 years.

Woman bashed, kicked on road in Blairgowrie By Jo Winterbottom A YOUNG woman visiting Blairgowrie was dragged along the road and kicked and punched by a male attacker before a passing motorist came to her aid. Rosebud police have appealed for witnesses to the assault, which occurred about 5.10am on Thursday 10 April. Detective Sergeant John Coburn of Rosebud crime investigation unit said the 18-year-old woman from Mitcham in Melbourne’s east was staying at a house in Fawkner Ave. She was dragged from the house by a man known to her. He then kicked and punched her

as he dragged her along Fawkner Ave and on to Hughes Rd. The attack ended only when the passing motorist stopped and intervened. Detective Sergeant Coburn said the man ran back to the house in Fawkner Ave and sped off in the young woman’s car, a Holden Commodore. The man is still at large and police would like to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the assault or who has information that may assist police. Contact Rosebud police on 5986 0444 or information can be given anonymously to Crime Stoppers, phone 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers. com.au

Why does Peninsula Waste Management want to establish a landfill on the old Pioneer site? In 1998 when the site was purchased it was already earmarked as a potential replacement for the Rye tip.

The facts

‡

PWM will apply for permits to operate a ODQGÀOO within a few weeks. The Shire and the EPA will make the ÀQDO decision on the proposal.

‡

Without a ODQGĂ€OO on the peninsula council trucks carrying waste will have to travel to Werribee or Deer Park. This alternative will use large amounts of fossil fuel, putting tonnes of unnecessary carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The site is not at Arthurs Seat. It is approximately four kilometres away on the eastern edge of Dromana, an ideal central location to serve the peninsula.

‡

About 70 trucks a day will use the site. They will cause minimal impact or disruption as Boundary Road currently carries 2300 vehicles a day.

Transporting the waste over such long distances will also come at a cost to ratepayers.

‡

The depth of the pit and the relative narrowness of its mouth make control of dust and odour much easier.

The volume of the pit is 3.5 million cubic metres, the nearest home is at least half a kilometre from the pit and most trucks will travel to the site via the freeway so there will be little or no disruption to residents.

‡

The pit will incorporate lining almost three metres thick.

‡

Waste will be covered at the end of each day minimising litter and odour.

Best practice technology will be used to manage the ODQGĂ€OO ensuring minimal impact on residents.

‡

Gas produced by the waste will be recycled to generate electricity which will power the site and also be sent to the power grid.

‡

A sophisticated ÀUH management plan will be in place and PWM will work closely with the CFA.

‡

The site will not receive household recyclables and scrap metal will be sorted and sent for recycling.

‡

Alternative waste management systems such as incineration are extremely expensive for ratepayers.

‡

The site is very well screened by the quarry walls and trees and will not be visible by any neighbours who all live some distance away.

‡

Once the pit is full the land will be rehabilitated, revegetated and returned to close to its pre-quarry state.

The Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Management Group - a State Government statutory body - lists the site as the only replacement for the Rye ODQGĂ€OO which has been operating for more than 20 years and is nearly full.

The Peninsula Waste Management site at 121 Boundary Road Dromana.

A Community Reference Group has been formed to pass information between PWM and the community. Information about the CRG and technical details are available on the PWM website peninsulawaste.com.au.

Make the point on Anzac Day PARKS Victoria is promoting Point Nepean National Park as an Anzac Day destination. Libby Jude, Parks Victoria district manager for Mornington Peninsula, said the park’s fortifications and military buildings tell “the story of Australia’s involvement in war”. Point Nepean “offers a venue for quieter contemplation of intense chapters in our history”. “In fact, the first shot of the First World War was fired in Victoria from Point Nepean’s fortifications when a German ship tried to leave the bay after news that war had been declared reached Australia,” Ms Jude said. “Visiting historical Point Nepean with its tangible connection to our involvement with war adds a new aspect to Anzac Day. It’s a place of great peace and natural beauty, and it’s the perfect place to pay our respects. “Families with children can discover more about Point Nepean’s military history through its award-

winning audio guides, which can be downloaded to iPhones using iTunes or to MP3 players.” Ms Jude said the South Channel Fort and Popes Eye were 19th century fortifications in Port Phillip. “More than 25 other parks and reserves around the state have links to the first and second world wars,

ranging from the 21-metre high memorial cross at Mt Macedon to the Kokoda memorial terrace, opened in the Dandenong Ranges National Park in 2012.” For more information about Anzacrelated sites in Victoria’s parks and reserves, call 131 963 or visit www. parks.vic.gov.au

History lesson: Stephen Compton of the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation told 16 Mornington Peninsula students about past Aboriginal occupation of what is now Point Nepean during this month’s National Youth Week camp.

Signing up at Balcombe NEW signs being installed at the former Balcombe army camp in Mt Martha will coincide with a reunion of army appretices. The unveiling of the signs and a commemoration service will be held at Balcombe Grammar School on Saturday 3 May. The school occupies part of the former camp. Retired Major Frank Maloney, Balcombe commemoration manager for the Army Apprentice Association Australia, said the barracks commemoration is open to all units and personnel who served at Balcombe barracks, including apprentices, signals, survey, music, US Marines, WRAAC and civilian staff. “The reunion will include a welcome and registration night on Friday, the unveiling event for interpretive signs on Saturday followed by the formal reunion dinner at Mornington Racecourse, and a commemorative march and service at the war memorial in Mornington on Sunday,” he said. Building at Balcombe began in 1940 and it served as a base for the military during the Second World War. After the war and before being closed in 1983, it was used as a base for the Army Apprentice School, School of Signals, School of Military Survey and School of Music. For details about the public commemorative events at Balcombe Grammar School and the war memorial visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au Representatives of all units and personnel who served at Balcombe can register for the weekend at: www. austarmyapprentice.org For more information call Mr Maloney on 0418 728 181.

Pilot rehab program for cancer survivors ROSEBUD Community Health is running a pilot program for cancer survivors. The program is a first for Peninsula Health and one of a small number of cancer rehabilitation programs in Victoria. It aims to improve quality of life for cancer survivors, in particular their physical functions, fatigue, stress or anxiety and diet. Program participants must have been diagnosed with cancer and finished active treatment in the past one to 24 months. The program, supported by the Southern Melbourne Integrated Cancer Service, will include exercise, education settings and self-management strategies.

There will be two sessions a week for seven weeks. Exercise will be in a group setting but with individual pacing and programs. Frequency and the number of exercise sessions will be determined by the goals and the availability of the participant. Project officer and physiotherapist Sophie Heywood said people involved in the program included a dietitian, psychologist and exercise physiologist. Participants will be asked to take part in evaluating the results, including completing questionnaires about areas of the program. For details or to apply to participate in the program, call 1300 665 781

Feel free to dump green waste SHIRE residents can dump green waste free of charge on the weekend at three waste disposal centres. The service is for shire residents only, with green waste accepted from domestic vehicles and trailers only. No commercial vehicles or green waste from commercial operations will be accepted. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s waste centres are in McKirdys Rd, Tyabb; Watt Rd, Mornington; and Truemans Rd, Rye, and will be open 8am5pm Saturday and Sunday. A shire spokesman said delays were expected at the Mornington centre and residents were encouraged to use the Tyabb centre to avoid delays. Mornington can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip. Proof of residency is required, for example a driving licence or a copy of a rates notice.

Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. Residents in urban areas can also dispose of green waste every second week through the shire’s kerbside green waste bin for $130 a year.

Dump TVs, too Residents and small businesses now can dump computer equipment, televisions and computer monitors free of charge. The shire has formed a partnership with DHL, QLS Ecycle Solutions and Ozanam Enterprises to collect so-called “e-waste� at its waste centres in Tyabb, Mornington and Rye. There is a limit of 15 items per drop off. For more information about the free green waste service, kerbside green bin collection or ewaste dumping, call the shire on 1300 850 600, 5950 1000 or visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

NEWS DESK Fire restrictions WHILE the Department of Sustainability and Environment is continuing planned burns at Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula Shire has reminded property owners to check its regulations before burning off. The official fire danger period ended on Monday. Burning off regulations apply across the peninsula and are based on property size. Residents may need a permit. Regulations prohibit burning off on properties of less than 1500sqm. Details: www. mornpen.vic.gov.au or 1300 850 600.

The way ahead: Frankston MP Geoff Shaws shows directions to the then Premier Ted Baillieu at the opening of Peninsula Link in January. Picture: Yanni

Shaw’s change Continued from Page 6

Mr Shaw frequently returns to the subject of how the media has covered his relatively short parliamentary career. He says his decision to put a sign on the roadside asking his former wife for forgiveness was “a private matter� and should not have been reported. He takes exception to media incorrectly claiming he held a black belt in karate. He is a higherranked third dan black belt. Reference to Mr Shaw’s prowess in the martial arts most frequently accompanies reports about an assault charge when he was employed as a nightclub bouncer in the 1990s as well as his intervention, while an MP, in an altercation between police and a motorist in central Frankston. Mr Shaw says there is still time for him to “look at libels�. His detractors are described as “weedy journalists, bully boys talking tough behind their computers� who, if at school, “would have been dismissed long ago for bullying�. Mr Shaw associates the media’s “picking� on Frankston with coverage given to him: “They still want to pick on Frankston, so they’re picking on me.� Since moving to the cross-benches as an independent, Mr Shaw has been dubbed a powerbroker because his vote is vital to the government’s survival. It has also been stated he is pushing for a better superannuation deal for MPs and reform of abortion laws. He said all MPs had been asked for their views on super by “an independent committee; it’s been going on for months, since last October�. “I don’t know enough about the super scheme to comment,� Mr Shaw, an accountant, said. “I haven’t pushed for changes to abortion. Would you like to see babies being killed up to the time of birth? “The legislation says that can happen. I don’t want to see babies being killed up to birth; leave it at that.� Asked if, in retrospect, he would have done things differently Mr Shaw says “it’s all too hypothetical to write my memoirs right now�.

There are four large bedrooms – two with ensuite bathroom – a powder room and third bathroom. Coastal living has never been more comfortable and this designer home is sure to turn heads. The property measures about 1022 square metres and the beach is just 300 metres down the road. If it’s position, space and comfortable living you are after, look no further.

Kept in the loop

The price is right

AN address acknowledged as one of Blairgowrie’s most desirable creates a sensational setting for this classical Edwardian home, and of even more significance for a developer is the accompanying allotment of 976 square metres. The opportunity to capitalise on this site is as rare as it is rewarding. The traditional lines so characteristic of a home of this age define the three double bedrooms and the large living room with adjoining kitchen and dining area, which even today remain in perfectly functional condition. One of the area’s original properties, believed to have been the town’s general store, it is offered for sale as a prime example of the potential of the area, just moments from the beach and near all the attractions of the southern peninsula.

UNDOUBTEDLY one of the peninsula’s best buys, this neat brick unit would be perfect for an investor or a low-maintenance option for a young couple or single person. Set in a neat block of units close to shops and beaches, the interior is well presented with a main open-plan living area incorporating a lounge room with good carpets and woodheater, and a functional kitchen with meals area. There is air-conditioning. The larger main bedroom has space for a wardrobe. It and the smaller bedroom share the bathroom. There is no undercover parking for cars, but there is parking in front and beside the residence. At the back of the home is a neat courtyard.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Famous Scottish comedian visits, Mr R Bates on extended trip abroad Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 April 1913. MR Arthur Douglas, the famous comedian, who has just recently landed from Scotland, and who has appeared at the same hall and on the same programme as the noted comedian, Mr Harry Lauder, has advised the management of the Frankston Choral Society that he will he pleased to appear before a Frankston audience at one of the Society’s future concerts. Mr Douglas is at present touring Victoria, and the Melbourne Press speak highly of his talent. He as a comedian is reputed to be second only to the renowned Harry Lauder. The appearance of this clever artist in Frankston is looked forward to. *** THE prohibition of fishing in the Lang Lang River up to 15th December, 1915, has been proclaimed under the authority of the State Executive. Another matter which was decided by the Executive Council at Tuesday’s meeting was a regulation to the effect that no boat shall be engaged in fishing unless it has been registered at the office of the Inspector of Fisheries. Every boat so registered shall bear the letters R.F.B. (registered fishing boat) painted legibly on the bows and clear of the water line. The letters are to be not less than three inches in length, and are to be kept painted clearly in white on a dark ground, or in black on a white ground. *** MESSRS Croft Bros, storekeepers, of Somerville, have purchased the old established business of Messrs A. Nunn and Sons at Somerville, and will take

possession on 1st May. *** THE Abbotsford Brewery held a very enjoyable picnic at Mornington on Saturday last, per the S.S. Hygeia, which was well attended. This is the last of the long list of picnics booked to take place at Mornington this season. *** THE final game of the ladies handicap tournament on the Frankston tennis court was played on Saturday last, when Miss D. Gregory beat Miss Dial 6-5 6-5. Miss Gregory was declared the winner, she having gone through the tournament without a defeat. On Wednesday last the gents tournament was completed, the final game being played by Messrs R. Bates, receive 30, and C P Watson, owe 30. The result was a victory for Mr Bates, who defeated his opponent, the scores being 6-5, 5-6, 6-2. The donors of the trophies were Mr Stewart for the gents, and Mr A. D. Box for the ladies. *** THE opening night of St Peter’s (boys) Gymnasium Club took place at St Peter’s schoolroom, Mornington, on Monday evening last. About twenty members were enrolled for the coming season. The lads are taking great interest in the work, and the club (under the leadership of Mr Sanders) promises to be as successful as previous seasons. *** THE Governor, Sir John Fuller, who is to unveil the cairn erected at Flinders to the memory of Bass and Flinders, arrived at “Moondah” on Friday, where he was the guest of Mr and Mrs James Grace. On Saturday (today) he will proceed to Flinders per mo-

tor, perform the unveiling ceremony, and then motor to Melbourne. He will be accompanied by Captain Curwen, A.D.C. *** AN up-to-date concert will be given in the Frankston hall this Saturday evening by picked artists from the Smilers, Stretchers, Billikens, Grafters, Gay Gordons, Outcasts, Sons of Rest, drumming Birds camps, also Misses Jean Goldspink, Myrtle Cobburn and Addie Turner. The proceeds go in aid of the Frankston football club, and it is expected that the performers will be greeted with a bumper house. Tickets can be obtained at ls, children half price, with a few reserved chairs at 1s 6d. The box plan may be seen at E. Worrall’s shop. *** A PRACTICE football match between Mornington and Somerville will take place today (Saturday) at Somerville. Drags will leave Mornington punctually at 1.30. *** MESSRS Edgar and Son, of Mornington, suffered a loss this week when a stack of hay, containing over twenty tons, at their farm on the Three-chain road, was set alight by heavy rain causing combustion. The whole stack was burnt to the ground. *** MR R. Bates sailed from Melbourne on Wednesday last by the “Persic” on an extended trip to England and America. His absence will be severely felt in the Frankston football club this season, he being one of the leading players last year. *** A MEETING of a local land board to

consider the application of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, for the use of one acre of reserve known locally as “Black’s Camp,” for a rubbish tip, will be held at Somerville on Tuesday, 29th April, at 10am. *** THE Saturday night social club committee at Somerville has resigned, and a special meeting is called for Saturday night to see what steps are to be taken as to the future of the club. The original idea was that the club should be of some educational value, but it has degenerated into a mere dance club. *** THE bulk of the export of fruit is over, and growers in this district are devoting more time to the local markets, only to find them less remunerative than was expected. The strike in Sydney caused a lot of fruit to be thrown on the local markets, and, consequently, a glut resulted. Cabbage growers are still reaping a golden harvest. *** THE projected football match, which was to have been played this Saturday afternoon, between the Footscray Rowing Club and Frankston teams, has been declared off, owing to the inability of the club to make the trip. A practice match will probably be held in the park, when a good muster of old and new players is requested. *** A CONCERT will be held in Tyabb hall on Tuesday next, 22nd inst., when a programme will be given by Frankston artists, assisted by the Frankston Art Society. Drags leave Frankston, from Mr J. Reynolds’ shop, at 7 o’clock, and anyone, other than

performers, may make the trip for 2s return. *** THERE was only a fair attendance at the links on Wednesday afternoon, the opening day of the Mornington Golf Club. The majority of its members are still wrapped up in tennis. Eight competitors took part in the Men’s Handicap (18 hole competition), which was won by Mr A. B. Murphy (handicap 2) *** THE members of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, Frankston branch, held their monthly meeting on April 9th in the Methodist Hall. There was a very good attendance of members, and Mrs Twining presided. At the conclusion of the routine business, and while afternoon tea was being served, Mrs Lowe, an esteemed member and vice-president, who is leaving the district, was presented by the members with the badge of the White Ribbon Sisterhood. A profitable time was spent in the cause of temperance, and then the meeting closed with the singing of the Doxology. *** A DEPUTATION was introduced by Mr A. Downward, M.L.A, to Mr J. Thomson, Acting Minister for Lands, from Frankston on Wednesday last, to object to any portion of the foreshore reserve being leased for business purposes. Mr Thomson, in reply, agreed that the foreshore reserves should be kept for the people. The business places of Frankston could surely cater for the wants of visitors without this special provision. However, neither he or Mr H. McKenzie, Minister of Lands, would visit the locality and see the reserve before giving an answer.

Strike up the band, Tommy By Peter McCullough TOMMY Carter, OAM, is 85. For most of his life he has been entertaining residents of the Mornington Peninsula and other parts of Victoria with his dance and jazz bands. Over the decades he has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to charities. In 1994 he was awarded an Order of Australia for services to our local communities. Tommy has a host of stories to tell and late last year he shared some of them with The News. *** THOMAS Francis Carter was born in Warragul on 31 October 1927. Both his parents had some musical talent. His father, who came from a big, fun-loving farming family in Mirboo North, had played his piano accordion in the trenches in France during the First World War. Tommy’s mother, a teacher in Gippsland, played the piano. When Tommy was quite young the family moved to Springvale and it was there that he learnt to appreciate music. Although his family did not have a wireless, Tommy listened intently to the one belonging to the next door neighbour and soon could sing all the popular songs. His mother knew where to look for young Tommy on a Friday evening or Sunday afternoon when the Salvation Army marched down the street; he still remembers their ability to hold a tune. It wasn’t long before Tommy’s mother got him singing and when he

Many talents: Tommy the modern day entertainer.

was about 10 was taken to Melbourne to entertain the listeners of 3DB with his boy soprano voice. Soon after, the family moved to Seaford and this was where Tommy’s

talents as an entertainer developed. He attended Seaford State School up to grade 8, and then had a few years at Frankston High School. It was the Depression years and, like most kids, Tommy was expected to earn some pocket money. His first job, back in Springvale, was to keep the live hare moving at the dog track for which he earned sixpence (five cents). In Seaford he helped deliver bread on Saturday mornings and earnt a shilling (10 cents). When the Second World War started, Tommy’s father re-enlisted and was sent to Darwin. There he came across a kangaroo that had been hit by a truck, but the joey was

still alive. He later brought the baby animal home. The Carter residence in Seaford boasted a cow (reflecting Mr Carter’s farming background), a kangaroo, a dog and six children; it was a very happy place. The kangaroo was especially popular with children at the primary school. Of the six children, four developed a strong interest in music: Tommy and his brother Brian both formed bands, one sister became a pianist – she still plays regularly with Tommy’s band – and another sister became a professional jazz singer. Tommy got on well with the baker with whom he worked on Saturday mornings and, without telling his mother, started working there full time. His mother, who taught at a number of schools in the region (including Carrum, Seaford, Frankston and Tyabb) during the war years, was not impressed when she found out. Believing there was not much future in delivering bread, she managed to secure a position for young Tommy at the Crofts store in Chelsea. (There were two big grocery chains in those days, Crofts and Moran & Cato), At Crofts Tommy would learn to deal with the public as well as the basics of merchandising. At Seaford, Tommy joined the life saving club, which was keen to raise money. Although only 14, Tommy was asked to form a band. He bought a set of drums and put a band together. They started playing at a little dance hall in Seaford called “The Elks”, which was on the corner where Safeway is now. Soon they were playing at 21st birthdays, weddings and then annual balls. The life saving club had a microphone that Tommy used and it gave him confidence. “The pictures”, as movies were referred to in those days, were shown each week in the old Seaford Hall, and if there was a breakdown, the projectionist would ask Tommy to go on stage and get the people singing until the problem was

fixed. While he was working at Crofts in Chelsea, Tommy was approached by a local woman who, with her husband, had a band: they needed a drummer. They played at Masonic lodges and Tommy would catch the train to Footscray, Collingwood or wherever complete with his drums. Tommy started playing football with Seaford. He was fast and was performing well enough to get an invitation to train with Richmond thirds. He had just started playing with the band when he damaged a finger, which made playing the drums difficult. The woman who ran the band asked: “Are you going to keep on with sport or continue with music?” He chose music and never regretted it. Tommy did well at Crofts and the firm appointed him manager of its Mornington store; the building is still on the corner of Main and Blake streets. This was an opportunity to try different approaches and one was to stock as much local produce as possible. At one stage a beehive was set up in the front window in an attempt to promote local honey. During the early 1950s, while still at Crofts, Tommy attended radio school and to develop his voice was sent to Myer to demonstrate products. As a result he became an entertainer as well as a musician, and still gets called on to do this type of work. Shortly before our visit in late 2012, he had compered the reopening of four Coles stores. Meanwhile, the Tommy Carter Dance Band was flourishing. In 1952 he was told about a young Frankston woman who had studied classical music and practised on the piano at Frankston RSL. He introduced himself and invited her to join the band. Her name was Jean Pivetta and a year later they were married. Jean was an essential member of Tommy’s band until her death from cancer about 30 years later.

During the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, Tommy’s band was in great demand, playing as far afield as Albury – at a B&S ball. Balls were a lot of fun and Tommy has a special regard for Tyabb Hall, which he says seemed to have an atmosphere all its own. The Balnarring Racing Club ball was always held in the hall. Balls were formal affairs and the program for the evening was displayed on a board at the front of the stage. It was customary for the barn dance to be slotted in after supper. On one occasion, when playing for the navy ball in Hastings, Tommy saw six young WRANS slip in through the door. What better way, Tommy thought, to get them into the spirit of things than to immediately launch into the barn dance. One elderly couple who occasionally dine at the Baxter Tavern on a Sunday still like to remind Tommy of this serious break with protocol. The band played for just about every organisation in the area: the Frankston cricket and football clubs, Hastings and Crib Point football clubs, YCW, Frankston fire brigade, Frankston RSL at its original location in Playne St and its current premises, and CWA. In Mornington the band performed for the cricket and football clubs, service clubs, and it still participates in the annual cancer appeal conducted by Mornington Secondary College. Many events were fundraisers. Tommy well remembers the event at Pakenham racecourse that helped John Paul College in Frankston get on its feet. His band played at many balls and dances held by various branches of the Masonic Lodge, and he was made a life governor of the Masonic Homes. As Tommy notes, there wouldn’t be many Catholics who received this honour. In 1952 Tommy launched community singing on Sunday evenings at the Mechanics Hall in Frankston, bringing guest stars from the Tivoli such as Dawn Lake. The old hall would be packed and a lot of money was raised for Red Cross. Later in the 1950s Tommy did cricket, football and bowls rounds on radio 3KZ and then 3XY. One of the leading commentators on 3XY was the legendary Jack Dyer. One cold, wet winter afternoon Jack was doing a broadcast from Kardinia Park (Geelong) and not much was happening. Tommy was an “around the grounds” reporter at the equally cold and wet MCG where, again, not much was happening. To relieve the

monotony, every few minutes Jack would say “Back to Tommy Carter at the MCG”. After a number of these “switches” in quick succession, an exasperated Tommy said, “I have given the scores, goalkickers and best players. Perhaps I could give a weather report, Jack?” and proceeded to do so. Jack got the message and the “switches” came less frequently. In later years Tommy covered what was then VFA football for the new local station, 3MP. In the 1980s Tommy moved to community radio, introducing jazz to 3RPP (Radio Port Phillip), now Mornington-based, and later becoming president of RPP. After 20 years there, during which he was assisted by his second wife, Mary, Tommy moved to 3SER Casey radio where he is still active with his program Jazz As You Like It. Running parallel to Tommy’s life as an entertainer and band leader was a more stable career, which started with Crofts in Chelsea. For many years the

band played weekends at the Portsea Hotel and one evening after their performance a man came up and said, “I would like to employ you in my company on promotional work”. It was Ken Guest, managing director of a well-known biscuit company. In the next few years Tommy did a lot of promotional work for Guests and gained some marvellous radio experience as well as doing skits on television with Graham Kennedy, Bert Newton and Don Lane. When he arrived at Guests he asked about the company’s showbag: it was labelled “Guests”. Tommy was horrified: “You have to promote the product; not the company.” The Teddy Bear showbag replaced the Guests showbag. When the Brockhoff company took over Guests, Tommy moved to a similar role with confectionery company Hoadleys. To his surprise the company also promoted itself with a “Hoadleys” showbag; it was

soon replaced with a Violet Crumble showbag. Tommy asked what the bestselling showbag was – it was the Freddo Frog bag marketed by an opposition company. He proposed a chocolate beetle with a honeycomb filling, which delighted his boss, Gordon Hoadley, as the crumbs left over from making Violet Crumbles were regarded as waste and thrown out. Bertie Beetle was born and 40 years later is still the top-selling showbag. At about this time Tommy suggested to Geoff Scott at the advertising agency Clemengers that his company might conduct a Battle of the Bands. They dismissed this as a cacophony of noise so Tommy took a different tack and proposed the Battle of the Sounds. This ran from 1968 till 1974 and involved more than 50 radio stations around Australia. Auditions were held by country stations to raise money for local hospitals. State finals were held and the winner from each state played off at Festival Hall. After some years with Hoadleys, the firm was taken over by Rowntree, and Tommy continued with the new owner in a similar role. The new managing director was a Canadian who was concerned that staff at different levels did not mix. Asked to find a solution, Tommy hired a steam train, a country racetrack and a huge picnic was organised. Before the train had left Spencer Street, top management was chatting with employees from the factory. A highlight of the event was to be a cricket match between the Rowntree XI (all men, of course) and a team Tommy was going to produce. There were a lot of laughs from the Rowntree men when the opposition appeared: they were all women. There were even more laughs when the opening bowler for the women marked out her run: it was more than halfway to the fence. The smile soon disappeared from the opening batsman’s face when the first ball almost decapitated him. What Tommy had not revealed to the Rowntree XI was he had procured the services of the Australian women’s cricket team. More than one lesson was learnt that day. About 1980, not long after the Rowntree takeover, Tommy formed his own company, Showbag Marketing. He became the agent for the combined companies, packing and distributing their showbags to all capital city shows, starting with the Royal Easter Show in Sydney. There

were at least six showbags in the Hoadley-Rowntree range and Tommy was often referred to as the Showbag King of Australia. Apart from his twin careers Tommy has been a member of Rotary for more than 25 years and is a past president of the Rotary Club of Langwarrin. He received the Paul Harris Rotary International award for services to Rotary and the community for his founding of the first Rotary youth band. After he retired from the showbag business Tommy was a delegate to the world Rotary conference held in Munich and attended by 28,000 people. On the first day he was drawn to a jazz group that was practising and one of the group told him of their problem: none of them could sing in English. Tommy was immediately recruited and sang every day with the Bavarian Jazz Cats. In the 1950s, the Tommy Carter Dance Band was deeply involved in the Melbourne 50-50 dance craze, playing at town halls and hotels. Since then, the band has entertained thousands of radio listeners and club and hotel patrons with performances of traditional jazz. For the past 21 years the band has performed at Baxter Tavern from midday every Sunday; it’s a great opportunity for splendid entertainment while dining, but be sure to book a table. The band frequently includes Tommy’s son Frank, who plays many instruments, and Tommy’s sister Eileen on piano. Frank was music director at John Paul College and now holds a similar position at St Peter’s College in Cranbourne. He has written 15 musicals. Tommy Carter has received many awards and honours over the years. There is the OAM, awarded in 1994, as well as:  Frankstonian of the Year in 1979 for his contribution to the Australia Day Festival.  Life member of Radio Port Phillip and member of Casey Radio Hall of Fame for his contribution to community radio.  Life governorships of Red Cross, Frankston Hospital, Royal Women’s Hospital and Masonic Homes.  Royal Agricultural Society gold medal for services to the Royal Melbourne Show over 40 years.  Karingal Star Zone Walk Hall of Fame in 2008.  Fifty-year award in 2000 for music, entertainment and community service from fellow musicians and supporters.

Fun time for all at Red Hill Show By Dianne Baxter BLUE skies, tantalising food aromas, smiling entertainers, groomed animals awaiting judging, a diverse array of stallholders offering a colourful kaleidoscope of produce and goods, The News Grand Parade and more greeted a record crowd at this year’s Red Hill Show on Easter Saturday, The young and the young at heart strolled the showgrounds taking in all on offer – with a program and a map of the area giving them easy directions. The choices were endless. Penny, the black and white border collie cross, won the dog high scramble, jumping 2.7 metres. Megan Ray won the six brown eggs section and Cameron England the best collection of four vegetables class. Woodleigh School won the best exhibit in the grand parade, judged by Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy and Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin. The owner of the champion bird in show was Rachael Fenselau. The junior divisions of the fancy rats were won by Delta, owned by Charlotte Layton, and George, owned by James Layton. The quinces section was won by Rod and Bambi Hanson. People lined up to watch the open judging and await the announcements of the winners

of the junior and senior boiled fruit cakes, the gourmet dip prize and the cheese competition. So many sections in so many classes – too many to write about but, true to the tradition of an agricultural show, the competition was keen. High-flying tricks by the Whip Industries motocross team delighted the crowd while Tubby the Robot and Baby were the favourites of many. Children of all ages attended the animal petting nursery. The miniature goats were a new addition to the show and proved popular with all. The classic and historic cars were a hit with many of the dads and granddads in the crowd. Fun was also had on the mechanical bull – some skill was needed but several just enjoyed the challenge. The Futura Kelpies – particularly the two 10- and 12-weekold working puppies – brought a smile to the faces of many people. Their instincts were keen even if their skills were still to be fully developed One of the public’s favourite segments of the show for many years – the wood chopping – again thrilled the crowds over many hours. The photography, craft and cooking areas were crowded throughout the day as were the flower, fruit and vegetable

pavilion. Art and totem poles were other favourites. With so many exhibits and demonstrations to see, many people stayed all day – some picnicking on the grounds; others lining up for the vast array of food Laughter, happiness, enjoyment – all were main items on the agenda at this year’s show. In 2014, the show will revert to its traditional timing of the fourth Saturday in March and work has already started.

Armageddon completely sick of this By Stuart McCullough THIS is Kim Jong-Unbelievable. No sooner had I finally committed to re-watching all seven series of The West Wing and North Korea goes and announces the imminent end of the world as we know it. Talk about thoughtless! Sadly, it appears that the doomsday clock has not been adjusted to take into account the end of daylight savings and it is now less than five minutes to midnight. North Korea is hell-bent on forging a new era with the outside world best summarised as “Defcon 1”. These threats are not, it seems, retaliation against South Korea for the crime against humanity that was “Gangnam Style” but, rather, a clumsy attempt to show that when it comes to being an unpredictable megalomaniacal tyrant, Kim Jong-un is his own man, despite

looking, sounding and dressing exactly like his father. Let’s be honest: taking over from your Dad brings its own unique brand of pressure. It’s the downside to nepotism that is all too rarely talked about. Being part of a famous dynasty is not all wine, roses and ballistic missile tests. Far from it. Whether it be the head of a large multinational corporation or leadership of a reclusive military dictatorship, it’s tough to be your own person when all anyone talks about is your old man. It’s especially difficult when the image of your predecessor is everywhere you look. Poor old Kim Jong-un can hardly turn around without seeing a 50-foot high picture of his Dad hanging from the nearest building. Not just any snapshot, either. It will be of his father smiling, looking off into the middle distance,

surrounded in an otherworldly glow that makes it appear as if the sun really did shine out of his backside. Kim Jong-il was, by regular standards, a horrible human being, responsible for leading one of the world’s most repressive regimes in which almost every aspect of daily life was controlled by government. But the recent actions of his son make it hard not to look back at those simpler times with a sense of nostalgia. Sure, Kim Jong-il was a loud-mouthed murderous lunatic, but he seemed to understand that there was a line between pantomime and reality. Whether his son is aware that any such distinction exists remains a mystery. In fact, very little is known about Kim Jong-un. He is, apparently, about 30 years old (although nobody’s completely sure) and was probably schooled in Switzerland. A poor academic performer, he apparently spent his time developing a sizable man-crush on US basketball player Michael Jordan, sketching images of him in his notebook, and playing video games. He’s also a fan of Eric Clapton.

20TH APRIL MUNSTER

He has older siblings but Kim Jongun has been described as the one most like his father. This similarity extends to a fondness for drinking and a fashion sense best described as “the human wheelie bin”. As to how he was picked as successor, one of his brothers was regarded as insufficiently masculine while another, Kim Jong-nam, was disqualified after he was caught attempting to visit Tokyo Disneyland. There is, it seems, only room for one magic kingdom in North Korea. But if there’s a downside to having power given to you on a platter it’s this: credibility. Before being handed the reins, Kim was first made a “daejang”. Sadly, this does not involve playing your favourite records – Eric Clapton or otherwise – and is the equivalent to being appointed a general. That he hadn’t served in the military was not considered an impediment. There are two ways to view this – firstly, that this is a shameless act of favouritism by a ruthless maniac intended to perpetuate one family’s iron-like grip on power. But there are, of course, two sides to every story, or at least there would be

two sides to every story if the media wasn’t steadfastly controlled by the state. It’s a story that, in reality television terms, can be described as refusing to allow things like a lack of experience or talent come between you and your dream. If nothing else, Kim Jong-un goes to show that being dangerously underqualified should not stand in the way of getting the job you’ve always wanted. That job, “Supreme Leader of North Korea”, was the one his father held before him. This could well be part of the problem. If Kim Jong-un wants to been seen differently to his Dad, perhaps he should take a different title. Instead of Supreme Leader of North Korea, how about Super Supreme Leader with Extra Anchovies? Or plain old Chief Executive Officer? Or, as a tribute to his own heroes, perhaps Slowhand Air Kim? Or, better yet, maybe he should do things differently. I was born during the Cold War, where the prospect of mutually assured nuclear destruction was a subject we studied right after phys ed, so I’m used to talk of a looming apocalypse. But enough is enough. My message is simple: Kim Jong-un – stop acting like a colossal turkey, albeit a turkey with access to uranium. If not, next time I run into you at Coles, I fully intended to express my displeasure in the clearest way imaginable, through either a well-timed Fitzroy uppercut, a nipple cripple or, possibly, both. Kim Jong-un, you have been warned. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance THE Sound of Music was the last of the five great romantic musicals with which the partnership of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II and composer Richard Rodgers put their mark on the musical stage of the 1940s and 1950s. The musical was based on the Trapp Family Singers, an Austrian group that escaped the German invasion. When a stage musical version of the story was proposed, the music was to come from songs the family had actually performed. As the project advanced, Rodgers and Hammerstein became involved and by the time it reached the theatre in 1959 there were none of the pretty harmony pieces of the Trapp Family but a full book of Rodgers and Hammerstein works, songs that would become standard in the English speaking world. I saw the film version aged 10 at the Cameo Theatre in Belgrave in 1965. The hugely popular musical returns to the Arts Centre’s State Theatre for three performances on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 August at 7.30pm and a matinee on Saturday at 1pm. A celebrity guest yet to be announced will guide the audience through The Sound of Music. Bookings www.artscentre melbourne.com.au or 1300 182 183. www.facebook.com.singalonga.australasia and www.singalonga.net *** THE sixth annual Heart of St Kilda Concert to raise funds for the suburb’s iconic Sacred Heart Mission is at the Palais Theatre on Tuesday 14 May. It promises some of the best in Australian music and comedy with a lineup as diverse as the inhabitants of St Kilda. Acts announced to date include Graveyard Train, Wishful, Kate Ceberano, Darren Carr, Russell Gilbert, Rachel Berger, Lisa Miller and Even. The concert will raise money for the more than 30,000 meals that are served by the mission to people experiencing homelessness or poverty as well as provide clothing, emergency relief, accommodation and

companionship. Tickets 136 100. *** SHOCK Entertainment has released a Blu-ray version of the classic Black Sabbath album Paranoid, first released in 1970. The band’s second album is regarded by many as the finest heavy metal album of all time, which was hugely influential and defined the genre.

The four original members of Black Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward talk about the making of the album, and there are interviews with the original engineer as well as demonstrations, archive videos and use of the original multi-track tapes. Bonus features include more than 40 minutes of additional interviews,

archival footage and new demonstrations. Tracks include Paranoid, War Pigs, Hand of Doom, Iron Man, Black Sabbath and N.I.B. Original band members Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and guitarist Tony Iommi will make a thunderous return to Australia this month in their first Aussie shows since 1974. In June 2012 Black Sabbath memorably headlined the 10th Download Festival at Donington in front of 100,000. This was followed by a headlining set at Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago. The band is recording its first new studio album in more than 33 years, helmed by seven-time Grammy-winning producer Rick Rubin. The album is due for release later this month. Black Sabbath performs at Rod Laver Arena on 29 April and 1 May. Tickets 132 849. www.shock.com.au www.blacksabbath.com www.livenation.com.au *** RENEE Geyer emerged on the Australian music scene in the 1970s and soon became Australia’s top soul singer with her style encompassing blues and rock. Geyer did her first gig aged 16 in a bar in Bondi and soon joined the blues band Mother Earth. It was her second album It’s a Man’s World in 1974 (a James Brown classic) that gave her a break and was an instant hit. It was produced by Tweed Harris, former keyboard player in The Groove. Geyer’s career has spanned four decades and is still going strong with her 25th album. She was a precocious jazz, blues and soul singer in her late teens; Countdown royalty in her 20s; had a string of pop, soul and reggae hits spanning the 1970s and 1980s; spent years in her LA in the studio with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Sting, Joe Cocker and Chaka Kahn; and enjoyed a 1990s renaissance with Paul Kelly. Geyer is a singer, a songwriter, producer, author and is one of Australia’s musical treasures and to celebrate her

bystander, without wanting to offend, I feel no guilt. As for feeling ashamed, I’m no more ashamed than I am of many government decisions here; the world over. Bad enough the nine “stirring renditions” of our national anthem before every round of AFL football without going into the guilt factor. *** A FINE idea for Teddy Baillieu to apologise for the pain and suffering of mothers and children through the dreadful forced adoption practices during the 1950s to the 1970s involving 250,000 babies but being so recent, so yesterday so to speak, what about now? Are we better thinkers, no stupidity, cruelty and so on? No more “for their own good” or “for the best”? Don’t you believe it. It’s all about human nature and we all know human nature does not change. A forest full of wowsers looking over us, forever. Lucky us. Teddy who? *** DOES age welcome wisdom? No, but it helps to a small degree because you have lots of time to think, and if you’re super thoughtful you will realise the many times you displayed typical unthinking behaviour, thus bringing a form of learning process to the brain, causing more and more significant insights into the deeper realms of common sense, and with it the bonus of voicing your new-found wisdom on

any and everything. Welcome to the Know-all Club where no one listens anyway. The fact is you always had time to think but for some unknown reason it did not occur to you. Such is life, with or without a wife, or husband. *** THROUGHOUT the racing industry we have tipsters advising us on likely winners. What do they do for their money – pick winners? If there’s an enquiry on a jockey or trainer or fixed race, they report the facts as given to them. When do they challenge? Never. Why not? Free lunches, prostitution without sexual activity. Ditto football commentators and their AFL dealings. In with the strength and stay in your box. Halos for Juddy and Damien Oliver. If you really want to know the ins and outs of a duck’s backside, your best bet is to ignore because, as they say in the classics, “It ain’t gonna happen, baby”. Or you can make do by believing the fellow who gets his information from the girlfriend of a mate’s sister’s son. But don’t kid yourself you really know the true story. May they enjoy their lunches; smell the oysters first. Andrew Rule had a modicum of courage by reporting on greyhound race fixing, which we all knew anyway. Rod Nicholson merely reported on the findings of the racing integrity investigation. Drugs in football; total

confusion. Big deal. *** POLITICS is a personal thing. We make our voting decisions based on past performances, politicians’ insight into the future (our future), and our instincts as to truth, depending heavily on what mum and dad told us. But the lead-up to this election is surely dreadful. Promises and muckraking abound. Where’s the inspiration, the ideas, the intellect? Julia is under instructions (from whom?) and Tony has Andrew Robb and Kevin Andrews. We get Punch and Judy. Who won? Who cares? Democracy? What’s that? Power, as always, corrupts, etc. Ask Rupert. *** WE hear you on superannuation, Julia; better than it was after Johnny Howard and Peter Costello made it a slush fund for the rich, but far too late with the fine print and anyway if you’re fair dinkum you would tackle negative gearing, family and discretionary trusts. A “no race” as Tony will ignore it all and safeguard their super. A doublepage spread on Tony and his all-adoring family; ditto on Margaret Thatcher who apparently put the “great” back into Great Britain? Herald Sun heartwarming stuff? *** GREAT-great uncle Thomas Mockett Ellen, former proprietor of the British Hotel at Baarmutha, expired at his

By Gary Turner 40th year in the music business she has delivered a recording that can only be described as a tour de force. For years fans have asked Geyer to record a big band album. Now comes the long-awaited new studio album Swing. “To all who know me and those who will hear me for first time, you are in for a fabulous surprise with this new album,” she said. “So it seems I’m one of the few women in the world to be recording my own Big Band album.” Swing features tracks like Baby Please Don’t Go, I Got Rhythm, Fly Me to the Moon, Alfie, Comin’ Home Baby (a duet with Paul Kelly), What a Wonderful World, My Funny Valentine, and It’s a Man’s World. The album was produced by Geyer, Paul Williamson and Dave Palmer, and was engineered and mastered by Ross Cockle at Alan Eaton Studio in Melbourne. www.reneegeyer.com.au Top 10 albums 1 Swing – Renee Geyer (Fanfare) 2 Old Sock – Eric Clapton (Universal) 3 Till the North Wind Blows – The Weeping Willows 4 American Soul – Mick Hucknall (Warner) 5 Old Yellow Moon – E Harris and R Crowell (Warner) 6 Classic Soul 2 CD – various (Warner) 7 Living for a Song – Jamey Johnson (Mercury) 8 Precious Memories Vol 11 – Alan Jackson (Sony) 9 Seventh Heaven Club – Mark Seymour (Liberation) 10 Uncaged – Zac Brown Band (Warner)

A Grain of Salt I HAD a good marriage. Almost everything in our house was in accordance with darling’s taste. Perhaps I should have raised the odd objection? I wonder occasionally, when I see or hear of houses with a male influence, how they manage it or, more importantly, why? Surely if a wife doesn’t like something she will mention it every week, day, hour? In my late wife’s favour she did allow me to display my Certificate of Membership to something on the back wall above the outside toilet attached to the rear of our house, which nobody used other than I. Thanks, treasure. Hey, 45 years on I fished it out and had it framed. I feel better now. (OK, in truth I couldn’t have cared less but it’s a nice feeling to get a word in; albeit to a ghost.) *** IT arrives every Australia Day; the indifference idea, the refusal to acknowledge this nation’s sad beginning, the need to recognise the plight of the Aborigines. Like Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam, I had no say in these decisions. I’m sure the British soldiers who landed on these shores all those years ago had no say either, nor the Roman army, Hitler’s soldiers or the Spartans. We bunnies are surely needed, but the decisions are theirs. I may well feel sorry for our Aborigines but as an insignificant innocent

By Cliff Ellen daughter’s residence, the Court House Hotel in Howlong on 24 July 1916. The Ovens and Murray Advertiser (Beechworth) reported he was held in high regard, in spite of his love of alcohol (an Ellen gene?) and occasional bad tempers. Thomas left three sons and five daughters. *** I TAPED the Collingwood v Carlton match won by my boys for viewing that evening if we won. The alternative was four hours of Logies egomaniacal rubbish. Phew. Johnny Farnham number 1? I expected nothing less from Herald Sun readers. Ten years on from the invasion of Iraq and 100,000 civilians have been killed or wounded, however, oil production is at a record high, similar to petrol prices. “Drama is the opposition of two sides that are ‘right’ or else conflict doesn’t amount to anything.” Elia Kazan Hooroo cliffie9@bigpond.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Panthers make it two wins from two NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE made it two wins from two matches on Saturday when it controlled the match all afternoon against Crib Point in Nepean League football. With Pat Heijden and Chris Fortnam dominating in attack with six and four goals respectively, the Panthers proved too strong all over the ground for the Magpies. Tasmanian recruits Chris Hensby and Rohan Swan also got the feel for local footy and their presence on the ground was noticeable. Teenager Adam Avard was also very good on a wing in only his second senior game, while debutant Ben Brown was also not out of place on a senior arena. The Panthers led by 26 points at half time but rather than dying out in the second half, the home side was able to put the pedal on the gas and extend its lead. The margin was 32 points at three quarter time and the final margin 65 points. It was yet another horror performance by Crib Point, beaten by more than 100 points in round one and by almost 11 goals on Saturday. The Pies may have been pushing for finals last season but it couldn’t be further away from reality at the moment. Understandably, Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd was delighted with his team’s performance. “It has been a great start to the year for us and most pleasing on Saturday was that we were able to kick away and enjoy a really strong win,” Cadd said. “We’re still coming together as a side because there are a few new faces but I believe we’re getting there quickly. “Our aim this season was to tighten up defensively, which we have been able to do in our first two games. We had more points kicked against us than any other team last season and we wanted to rectify that.” Cadd said recruits to the club had assisted with the team’s structures. “With ‘Macca’ Vagg back, it allows Heijden to play deeper forward.

Double down: Hastings went down to Rye, while the dreadlocked Crib Point gun Luke Herrington couldn’t save the day against Pearcedale. Pictures: Andrew Hurst and Doug Farr.

‘Forts’ is only spending about 15 per cent of game time in the middle because we have my little brother Pat and Hensby who can go in there. “In defence, Swan is really helping out Travis Sauer, who doesn’t have to play on the opposition monsters any more,” Cadd said. “A couple of kids, like Avard, make good decisions and they add another dimension to the team. “So far, things have been going well for us but it’s a long season and there’s not a lot between the teams,” he said. Frankston Bombers had another very strong performance, smashing Tyabb by more than 100 points. The Bombers were poor in the second quarter but managed to boot 16 goals to three in the second half to win 26.17.173 to 9.8.62. Scott Foster booted five goals and Zac Longham four, again proving that the Bombers do not lack a focal point in attack. Damien Atkins (wedding) and Allan Williams (knee) missed the game, while Sam Drake resumed his footy in the reserves. Jason Bedford was again one of the best players on the ground with four goals while former Somerville utility

Marcus Bate made a real impression in his first game in new colours. Coach Duncan Proud said he was happy with seven of the eight quarters his team has played this season. “From where I sit, I think we were expected to win our first two games against Red Hill and Tyabb. The real test comes this Saturday (RPP Match of the Day) against Rosebud,” Proud said. “We’re getting a good even spread amongst the 22, which is what I’m after each week. “We really want to make a name for ourselves as a strong side defensively who can counter attack and make you pay on the scoreboard. “For the past two weeks we have had 10 goal kickers while restricting the opposition to fewer than 10 goals. “I’m enjoying my role across half back and Jeremy Waixel is just sensational in the last line of defence. He rarely loses a one on one contest. With Al Williams and Shaun Brand, who’ll be back soon, we are developing a strong defensive unit,” Proud said. Jay Reynolds booted three goals, as did Ryan Lonie for the Bombers, while Brian O’Carroll was outstanding.

Nick Waterstone and Craig Conlan were among the best for the Bombers, while Ethan Rahilly was also his typical competitive self. Somerville bounced back in the battle of the youngsters, getting the job done at Red Hill by 15 points. In a see-sawing game all afternoon, the Eagles led at quarter and half time, before the Hillmen booted six goals in the third quarter to grab the lead by seven points. But led by Justin Farrelly in the ruck and Rhys Palmer, the visitors were able to kick five goals to two in the last to win 17.19.121 to 16.10.106. Todd Farrelly, Rohan Hogenbirk and Josh Collie all booted three goals for the winners. For Red Hill, Marcus Dal Lago, Jake Mitchell and Jayden Pain led the way. Rosebud hung on to win a very defensive clash against Devon Meadows. In a tight battle all afternoon, the Buds booted four goals to Devon’s two in the second half to win 10.14.74 to 7.6.48. Matty Payne kicked three goals in a best on ground performance for the Buds, while Glen Boyington was the other surprise packet with three goals.

Lachy Armstrong worked hard across half forward and Greg Bentley was a driving force from defence. Alex Doria and Noble Park recruit Heath Black, who is a great focal point across half forward, were the best of Devon’s players, while Ash Adams was the only multiple goal-kicker. It was a good test for Devon Meadows and although not coming away with the four points, it can still be proud of its performance. Rye completed the unexpected and came away from Western Port with the four points against Hastings. Jack Kerr grabbed four goals and Aaron Fiddes three for the winners while Adam Kirkwood and Sean Cain were exceptional through the middle of the ground. Matty Siberas has also been an outstanding pick-up for the Demons. Tony Mirabella played a lone hand in attack once again with another fivegoal haul for the Blues, while Andy Kiely was their best player yet again. Taylor Stratton is a star and showed just why he is so again on Saturday. It’s a terrible start for the Blues, who do not seem to have improved on last year.

Dolphins hang tough to win a thriller FRANKSTON Dolphins are heading in the right direction. The team hasn’t played finals since 2008 and has been a league cellar-dweller since then but won its first game of the season in style on the weekend with victory over 2012 runners-up Port Melbourne. Frankston came into the round 2 game at Frankston Oval on Sunday after a 68-point loss to Casey Scorpions, while Port Melbourne had defeated Box Hill by four points. In the opening quarter Port Melbourne took control from the start kicking two goals in the first six minutes. The Borough’s pressure was fantastic and tackles were sticking,

PAGE 38

which affected Frankston’s disposal. By the 11-minute mark it was clear Port’s Joshua Scipione was set for a big day when he banged through his second goal. Five minutes later, Frankston kicked its first goal with a snap from Chris Irving. But Port kept up the pressure and Joshua Scipione kicked his third, to give his team a 20-point lead just before quarter time. Scipione and ball-magnet Ryan Gale were Port’s best. For Frankston Leigh Kitchin was its best across half-back. The second quarter was a completely different story. Whatever Frankston coach Simon Goosey told his boys worked because they were on fire. The Dolphins kicked three goals in six minutes (two of those to Sam Lloyd) turning the game into a closer contest. When Josh Dyson kicked the team’s fourth of the quarter the Dolphins hit the front for the first time. Port

Southern Peninsula News 18 April 2013

Melbourne’s defence was under siege, turning the ball over constantly. A deliberately rushed behind and two undisciplined 50-metre penalties resulted in the Dolphins having a 22-point lead at half time. That quarter belonged to lead-up forward Ziggie Alwan, who was energetic and kept the Port Melbourne defenders on their toes at all times. In the second half Frankston continued to put its foot down kicking the first three goals and extending its lead to 40 points. But at the 11-minute mark, the momentum changed when Joshua Scipione kicked his fourth goal of the match and a minute or so later Chris Cain snapped a difficult goal from the boundary. For the remainder of the quarter the ball was well and truly in Port Melbourne’s court but some errant goal kicking would go on to cost the

side later. To Frankston’s credit it managed to hang onto a 31-point lead, despite Port’s dominance. In the last quarter Port Melbourne’s Julian Rowe kicked a goal in the opening minutes but Frankston quickly responded with a goal from Luke Potts. For the next 10 minutes Port Melbourne continued to attack and Frankston began to look tired but to Port’s detriment they kept missing, with only one kick from Josh Muling going through the goals. At the 20-minute mark it looked like Frankston might hang on but Port’s Dean Galea kicked two clutch goals to bring the margin back to seven points. In the next five minutes both sides kicked a behind each and with a bit more than a minute to go Dean Galea missed a very gettable goal. With a draw still in their reach Port continued to attack but a contested mark from

Frankston’s Michael Lourey saved the game. Overall Port Melbourne had every chance to win but Frankston hung tough, led by a sensational performance at full-back from Riley Heddles. Frankston 14.14-98 d Port Melbourne 12.20-92 Best: Frankston: Heddles, Alwan, Lloyd, Lourey, Hockey, Potts, C Irving, Kitchin. Port Melbourne: Wooffidin, Scipione, Langford, Gale, Bustin, Rounds.

Frankston YCW give Doggies a savaging PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt AT THE 20-minute mark of the third quarter on Saturday in the Peninsula League match between Mornington and Frankston YCW, the Doggies were in total control. The Dogs led at both quarter time and half-time and looked to be oddson to go in at the final change with a two-goal buffer. But in the next 20 minutes of football, the reigning premiers booted nine unanswered goals to sink the Doggies. The Stonecats booted the final two goals of the third quarter to lead by a kick at the change and then booted the first seven of the last term. The final margin was 49 points, which was far from a true reflection of the match. Let’s keep in mind though that YCW did exactly the same thing to Bonbeach the previous week. Many say Bonbeach should have led at three-quarter time in that game, only to be beaten by 52 points after the Stonecats kicked seven goals to one in the final term. Take your foot off the pedal for any length of time against the Stonecats and they’ll make you pay. The Doggies gasped for air late in the third quarter and were looking for the three-quarter time siren and were punished. The home team responded in the final 10 minutes of the match, able to go toe-to-toe with the Stonecats but the damage was well and truly done. Ashley Eames took the game by

the scruff of the neck, Anthony Barry really stepped up to the plate when needed and delivered and Ryley Hodson (four goals) and Jai Coghlan continued to press. Brad Ulms went from forward to defence to shut down 19-year-old Jackson Calder. In the first three quarters, Mornington was exceptional. James Cameron, Anthony Simpson, Jack Dickson and Adrian Speedy were fantastic with their pressure in the forward half of the ground, while coach Stuart Seagar, Warwick Miller, Emilio Bitters and Anthony Franchina were getting the job done through the middle of the ground. In defence, the Dogs were working hard with Kallum Searle, Josh McLerie and Jai Haddock to the fore and the midfielders in Barry Smeeton working back to support.

But the intensity that got the Doggies to the 20-minute mark of the premiership quarter deserted them for a period. It was enough time for the Stonecats to pounce. YCW’s runners in Tony Lester, Ben Tellis, Kyle Hutchison and Kevin Lylak all worked hard consistently and Jack Mazurek was up and about. While he was very unhappy with the 20 minutes where his side was blown away, Stuart Seager said there were a lot of positives to come out of the game for his side. “Our performance was like Bonbeach all over again,” Seager said. “We played good footy for three quarters but three quarters of good footy doesn’t win you matches. That’s where we have to get better against the good sides. “We ran out of legs late in the third quarter and I think we were looking at the siren to give us a break. Sides like YCW don’t look for breaks, they just keep the foot down,” he said. “I was really pleased that we were able to regroup and go head-to-head with them in the final 10 minutes of the game. We could have let their roll continue but we didn’t. “I was also really pleased after the match when the playing group identified areas where we need to improve and what let us down. It was a mature stance from a young group. “We lost the match but there were so many positives to come out of it,” Seager said. The pressure on the Dogs was backed-up by the strong Mornington crowd at the match. For the first time

in a long while, it seems Mornington locals are backing their club again. Warwick Miller was a standout for the Dogs again. He leaves for overseas at the midway mark of the season but the Doggies get back Chris Paxino from overseas, as well as Daniel Villani, who is on his way back from a groin operation. There is plenty of upside to the group at the kennel. Langwarrin was brought back to earth with a thud, humiliated by Karingal to the tune of 82 points. The Kangas, who lost coach Paul Wheatley with a hamstring five minutes into the game, was also without the likes of Shane Urbans, Dylan Luxa and Scott Sienkiewicz, who were prime movers in the win against Seaford the week before. The Bulls also went in again without Chris Hay, who is still five weeks away. There was also plenty of talk sweeping the ground on Saturday that star Bevan Malloy would come out of retirement within the next month. His side did the job without him on Saturday, booting 18.13.121 to 5.9.39. Sam McGarry and Michael Burke dominated while Grant Goodall controlled the ruck and Dale Alainis snagged four majors. Not surprisingly, Dan Wehner was Langwarrin’s best, while Beau Muston shone. Langwarrin buckled under the pressure of Karingal, their skill level at times embarrassing. Bonbeach completed the expected and rolled Pines, booting six goals to two in the last quarter to win by 34 points.

Cory McQueen came into the side and had an immediate impact with four majors, while Justin Bennett was sensational again, like last week, with four goals. Matthew Batten is rarely out of the best players list and Dylan Jones was hard to stop in the air. The Sharks also get back Shane McDonald from suspension in a few weeks. Dale Tedge (four goals) and Jamie Messina led the way for the Pythons, while newcomer Brendan Cowell impressed again. Edithvale-Aspendale proved that last week’s win against Chelsea was no fluke, hammering Mt Eliza by 43 points, 20.16.136 to 14.9.93. Matt Kremmer impressed in attack in round one and did the job again at half forward on Saturday booting six goals, while Jeremy Heys added three to his four last week. Brett Bowden and Timmy Mannix also caused major headaches for the opposition with three goals each and Nick Connellan was more than solid in the last line of defence. Josh Norman and James Anwyl were the best of the Redlegs while Benny Lean snagged five majors. Seaford and Chelsea played out a close game as expected, the Tigers getting home by 15 points. Brayden Irving finished with three goals and Aaron’s Turner and Walton dominated in the middle for the winners. Niz Abdallah and Ryan Stewart were among the best for the Seagulls, while Robbie Lancaster was the only multiple-goal kicker with three majors.

Talk of the bays all about squid ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro THE talk of late has been about the good squid fishing. It doesn’t matter where you fish – shore, pier or boat anglers are getting inkers in good numbers from Portsea to Black Rock in Port Phillip and at Quail and Tyabb banks in Western Port. While the size of squid hasn’t been huge they have made up for size with sheer numbers. Best results are on size 1.8-2.5 jigs. This is great news as earlier in the fishing season squid in the Safety Beach to Frankston region were hard to come by.

Along with squid we are seeing some great catches of whiting, and anglers are also bagging them from the shore and piers as well as boats. Quail and Tyabb banks and Middle Spit in Western Port and from Rye to Mt Eliza in Port Phillip are the hotspots. Best bait by far has been the humble Aussie pippie. Australian salmon have been caught in large numbers, a great fighting fish and a good feed when eaten fresh. The best method for bagging a few “bay trout” has been trawling a 4cm piece of plastic tubing or drink straw slipped over a size 3/0 bait holder or long shank hook.

Snapper are also sticking about a bit with some good fish coming from Joes Island and Eagle Rock in Western Port and in 16 metres of water off Mornington. A client of Mornington Boat Hire had an unusual catch recently – a jackass morwong. It was not a big fish (about 20cm) but is rarely seen in Port Phillip as it is thought to be found in Tasmania. There have been some nice gummy sharks caught in Western Port recently. The best time has been the change of tide and the best bait has been USA squid. For anglers looking further afield, west of Portland is in the midst of

tuna fever with “barrels” to 131kg being caught along with good numbers of albacore. Anglers on charter boats are hooking their bag limit in quick time.  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.
