Bedshed has the biggest display of mattresses and bedroom furniture on the Mornington Peninsula and employs its own drivers to ensure same-day delivery. All mattresses are Australian-made, except for the Danish Tempur range, which is the world’s biggest-selling premium mattress brand and has proved increasingly popular since Bedshed Mornington began stocking it last year. “Space age” is how Alan describes the unique Tempur technology. “It is the ultimate in quality and provides perfect support for the back while relieving pressure on sensitive areas,” he said. Bedshed is open seven days, with late night shopping until 9pm on Fridays, at Peninsula Homemaker Centre in Mornington. Watch for Bedshed’s seventh birthday sale, coming soon.

Finding a great deal at Founds FOUND’S Furniture One and Betta Electrical in Rosebud is a one-stop furniture, bedding and electrical shop.

28 McCOMBE ST ROSEBUD SPORTSPOWER ROSEBUD

28 McCombe Street, Rosebud

SPORTSPOWER is celebrating one year at its new store in McComb St, Rosebud. Jeff and Trina Swagemakers have had the Rosebud store for six years and chose to move to the new site next to Aldi supermarket when their lease came to an end last year. “We’ve been here a year and it is going really well,” Jeff said. “The new store is four times larger than our previous shop,

so we now have a bigger range of stock and better displays so that customers can come in and have a go at things before they buy.” Ample off-street parking was also proving popular. “You can get a park at the front door here, which makes it so much easier for shoppers,” he said. The larger showroom enabled Jeff and Trina to stock and display more home gym

equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes and weights. “Indoor fitness is very popular at this time of year and we encourage people to come and try our products before choosing something that suits them,” he said. SportsPower is at 28 McComb St, Rosebud, next to Aldi, and is open 8am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 2pm Saturday and 10am to 2pm Sunday.

A site for diamonds ANTHONY Hansen sees his Diamond Coco business as being more of a wholesaler than retailer, although his jewellery is sold across the counter as well as on the internet. Based upstairs in Main St, Mornington, Mr Hansen stresses that “it’s not like walking into a standard retail store”, but emphasises that he “wants to find what’s right for the customer”. Rings for all occasions and diamond earrings are Diamond Coco’s main stock in trade and a visit to the website (www.diamondcoco.com.au) provides a good idea of what is available. Spending a bit of time on the website can also provide an education in diamonds. Weight, colour, clarity, cut grade, polish, symmetry, length

and width ratios, inclusions, depth and table percentage are all terms likely to be used by diamond merchants. Mr Hansen says his business model – including buying diamonds through the New York Diamond Exchange – means his prices can be up to 70 per cent less than buying a similar item from a jewellery shop. “We’ll charge about $5000 for a one-carat diamond ring that sells for $14,000 in a retail shop,” Mr Hansen says. “I want to make sure everyone walks out of here with the best that they can afford.” Mr Hansen says he is one of 22 members of the New York Diamond Exchange in Australia, which means he can buy “direct from the manufacturer, or polisher”.

“The setting side is what we do; jewellers are not manufacturers of diamonds.” While Diamond Coco has more than 1000 ring designs, for men and women and covering many special events, they can also be custom made. “Women often come in with firm ideas of what they want, but often walk out with a different size or shape once they’ve seen what we have to offer,” Mr Hansen says. One of the tips he gives to customers is that two diamonds of the same weight (carat) appear different to the eye – “round looks bigger than square”. “Shops try to market diamonds by name, but a diamond is a diamond. It makes no difference where it is mined. “The only exception is the Australian pink Argyle diamonds, which are frightfully expensive. “Colour is intrinsic to most people, but I deal only in the white spectrum, diamonds with no yellow in them.” Mr Hansen said halogen lights can make diamonds appear “white and sparkly – lighting plays a huge role in how products are presented. “I’ve never had bad feedback about one of our diamonds. “I start the process [of talking with customers] with the diamond as a discussion point. “Diamonds are an emotional purchase and it’s only when they can understand how the pricing works that they can make a good decision.” Visit www.diamondcoco. com.au or see Anthony Hansen at Suite 6, 38A Main St, Mornington, phone 1300 230 430.

Secondly, he stated: “In addition, and consistent with the draft budget on exhibition, the shire’s existing debt as at 30 June 2012 will be $35.273 million and at the end of the 2015-16 financial year is projected to be $30.468 million.� The experts point to the shire’s proposed budget, which states on page 76 that the debt will be $37.932 million at the end of the financial year – the figure used in the letter to Ms Powell. They claim that Cr Gibb quoted only borrowings of $35.273 million, to which must be added $1.069 million for a finance lease and $1.595 million in unfunded superannuation. The shire’s unfunded superannuation figure could soon rise considerably – councils across Victoria have been told they are collectively $400 million short of their super liability. Cr Gibb’s final “correction� – hotly contested by opposing councillors – is: “There is no evidence or expectation that SPA will displace other council services or infrastructure that are of a higher priority.� Councillors and others point to a shire admission that the 10-year $30 million drainage plan is “barely scratching the surface� of the flooding problem; the state of shire roads; and refurbishment programs that span decades that are being impacted by the Rosebud SPA proposal. Cr Gibb concluded the debate by stating that Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings “has been a tearaway success� and “SPA will be even better�. The Hastings aquatic centre and cafe has lost well over $6 million since it opened in late 2003. The cafe was recently leased to a private operator to halt the $1.8 million ratepayer subsidy that has been poured into it over the years.

By David Harrison A CORRECTION brought to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over shire debt itself contains serious errors that should be altered, according to experts on council budgets. On 25 June Cr David Gibb moved to clarify “incorrect information� in a motion passed at the previous meeting on 18 June. That meeting declared Mornington Peninsula Shire had a $38 million debt and that a further $29 million would be added by borrowings required to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. The figures were included in a letter to Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell, asking her to investigate the approval process for SPA (‘Council SPA inquiry call’, The News, 28/6/12). An indignant Cr Gibb told the council that the 18 June motion “was a silly motion put up by silly people both within council and outside council, without basis of facts�. At the 18 June meeting he was, in the absence of three of his allies – Antonella Celi, mayor Frank Martin and Bill Goodrem – in the minority, unable to prevent the “silly motion� being passed by the five councillors who oppose SPA’s proposed foreshore site. He told the council: “The public record from last week was falsely and wrongly stated, not quoting from council documents. “It would be wrong of council to leave on the public record the wrong information put in last week’s motion.� His first “correction� was: “Consistent with council’s draft budget on exhibition, loan borrowings for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre is forecast to be $12 million, not $29 million.�

Shire won’t release Jackson pool plans By David Harrison THE long-awaited draft Rosebud Activity Centre Urban Design Framework is expected to be presented to councillors on Monday 23 July and could go on public exhibition before the end of the month. But the report may not include all drawings and other material relating to the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA), commissioned from prominent Melbourne architectural firm Jackson Architecture, a Freedom of Information applicant has been told. The applicant sought all plans, drawings and sketches the firm provided to

Mornington Peninsula Shire, but was told that material not included in the Rosebud framework report remained classified as internal working documents and was therefore exempt. This was because they “would disclose matters in the nature of opinion, advice or recommendation” and their release “would be contrary to the public interest”, according to the shire. Shire strategic planning manager Allan Cowley told a special council meeting on 19 March the Jackson material would not be released because it was not “up to the standard [Daryl Jackson] would want to see released for public consumption”.

Mr Cowley earlier told Cr Leigh Eustace that Mr Jackson had recommended a site “more to the east” of Rosebud Memorial Hall – apparently intruding on to the Village Green site, which is popular for picnics, walking and other forms of recreation as well as the monthly market. It has been speculated that the shire would be embarrassed by plans showing it had directed Mr Jackson to put the pool on the Village Green. Shire Freedom of Information Officer Leigh Oldmeadow wrote: “Release of the documents would be contrary to the public interest ... there is a possibility that [the documents] would be

given more weight than is actually appropriate.” This “would potentially detract from consideration of the actual draft document and potentially cause confusion within the public sector” [general public]. Mr Oldmeadow continued: “Supporting evidence for this is that drawings, plans and sketches provided by Jackson Architects are not clearly marked” in a variety of ways. “Therefore there is a high risk of misinterpretation and confusion if documents were to be released, which could potentially impact on the community consultation process for the ur-

ban design framework,” he wrote. The applicant was told he had “the right to apply to the tribunal” – which tribunal is not specified – “within 60 days from the day on which notice in writing of a decision on request is provided”. Mr Oldmeadow also said the applicant had the right to seek an internal review of his decision “within 28 days after the day on which you receive this letter”. Both periods would extend a further decision beyond the end of the month, when the Rosebud plan is due to go on public display.

Cold water poured on protesters FORMER Mornington Peninsula town crier Ian Morrison is fired up about the shire’s plan to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre at Rosebud. He put out a call last week for people to join him in a protest about the location on the foreshore. He wanted like-minded peninsula residents to join him in a winter swim, but only Mr Morrison, born by the seaside at Worthing in Sussex in the south of England, was brave enough to take the plunge. Mr Morrison said his one-man swim protest was a counterpoint to a recent photo he saw on the internet of pro-foreshore pool councillor David Gibb in his swimming trunks. “There are sound environmental reasons for not building this massive aquatic centre on the foreshore,” Mr Morrison said. “It’s important to keep the foreshore and beach in its natural state.” He said Rosebud had a beautiful beach and it was a great place for a dip, even in winter. “The water was about 14 degrees, so close to the air temperatures we’ve had recently.” Mr Morrison, one of the region’s most colourful characters with more than 40 years of teaching and volunteering achievements on his CV, including giving blood 100 times, said there were many people on the peninsula who supported his stance. “Maybe I’ll call for another swim protest when the weather is warmer,” he said. “We could do the Full Monty.” Mike Hast Big pool: Ian Morrison, left, was the only protester brave enough to take the plunge at Rosebud beach on Wednesday although Roger Lambert of Mornington was happy to get his feet wet for the cause.

Rosebud’s new priest hails from New Jersey By Joe Paris Lee WHEN Father Simon Shaner in the United States took a call from Fr Albert Wasniowski of the Pauline Fathers in Australia, the conversation went something like this: Fr Albert: “I heard you wanted to be a pastor again. I need you in Rosebud.” Fr Simon: “Let me think about it … okay.” Having visited Australia three times, Fr Shaner welcomed the opportunity to take up the post at Our Lady of Fatima Church and School in Rosebud. And now he says, “I feel like I’m home”. Pauline Fathers are from the Order of St Paul the First Hermit. Rosebud and Dromana are the only two Pauline parishes in Victoria. Born in New Jersey to Polish and American parents, Fr Shaner took holy orders 15 years ago and spent his early years as pastor at St Mark’s in Summerfield, Florida, and as an associate at Corpus Christi in Buffalo, New York State. He says one of the highlights at the latter was when he blessed a pub. His experience in Florida at a 600seat mission church taught him a lot about building a congregation; it grew so quickly that they had to build a new 1700-seat church. Fortunately, the parish contained a large number of retired engineers and architects to go on the building committee. However, they did use a Protestant fundraising group, whose methods raised a smile from Fr Shaner. When parishioners asked, “How much should I give?” the reply would be, “Pray on it”. Fr Shaner laughs, and says, “That’s

certainly not the Catholic way”. But in the end, they raised half a million more than the $3 million needed. Now he is looking forward to working with the Rosebud congregation to fulfil the needs of a diverse parish community. He says he has noticed that, apart from Mother’s Day and end-of-school liturgies, not many young families attend church on Sundays. He is hoping this will change with the introduction of a children’s liturgy group. Parishioner Rebeka Stivala of Rosebud, mother of four-year-old Zoe, offered to help coordinate the program because she saw a need for local parents to give children a place in the church. Fr Shaner is also looking at forming a youth group as well as asking children to be altar servers. Acknowledging the drift away from the church, Fr Shaner says, “People can’t change the church by leaving”. But he takes a positive view of the future. “If you picture the church as a puzzle with a missing piece, then you are that piece.” One difference he has noticed between church in the US and Australia is at funerals. “It would be rare for a eulogy to be given in the US. In fact, in some dioceses it is banned.” Fr Shaner says he is deeply moved that families want to meet him and share stories about the deceased so he has a personal connection when it comes time for the funeral. It is this sharing quality that he feels will help to make the Rosebud parish a vibrant and giving community. “All giving is not equal,” Fr Shaner

says, “but all sacrifices are.” So don’t be surprised if the 400 seats currently at Our Lady of Fatima prove to be insufficient for this lively and likeable priest.

Landslip: A Cultural Heritage Management Plan needs to be completed before work can proceed to fix the latest landslip on the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach. Picture: Yanni

Heritage laws hold up roadworks ROADWORKS are being held up on the Esplanade at Mt Martha while VicRoads negotiates with Aboriginal “stakeholder groups” and draws up a Cultural Heritage Management Plan. The landslip, which caused part of the road to collapse on Monday 4 June, occurred at a registered cultural heritage site. VicRoads acting regional director Anita Curnow said the management “must be completed and approved before any remedial works can be

further investigated and undertaken”. Ms Curnow said the road would remain closed “to at least the end of September”. The management plan is required under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. Ms Curnow has again thanked “motorists and residents for their patience”. The road closure means that motorists must drive about three times further than if they were able to continue along the Esplanade. Barricades have been erected on

the Esplanade, with signs directing southbound motorists up Hearne Rd onto Forest Drive before rejoining the Esplanade to continue on into Safety Beach. Vehicles heading north are diverted up Bradford Rd. It is the third time landslips have caused the road to be closed in the past two years. Mornington Peninsula Shire claimed that drains in nearby streets were blamed for one of the slips. Keith Platt

By Mike Hast THE nascent Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance has been given a $60,000 grant from the federal government to conduct a feasibility study. It will recommend how the peninsula’s marine industry can best be expanded, taking into account land use, deep water access and workforce training. The alliance was formed last year after former Mornington Peninsula Shire infrastructure director Bruce Douglas conducted an initial study of the sector in late 2010. As reported in The News last year (‘Marine industry worth $200m’, 10/3/11), the sector is the largest by turnover in the shire, surpassing BlueScope Steel, the naval base at HMAS Cerberus and the shire council. Mr Douglas, a civil engineer who had a 30-year career in local government including 11 years with the shire, said the peninsula’s commercial and recreational marine industry employed about 1100 workers, served 25,000 people and contributed $200 million each year to the peninsula’s GDP. Foundation members of a board formed last year were Hastings-based Crib Point Engineering, Hart Marine of Mornington, Sealite of Somerville, Wooden Boat Shop of Sorrento, Yaringa Harbour of Somerville, the shire’s economic development manager Shane Murphy and Mr Douglas. Seed money came from the five businesses and the shire. New members were Martha Cove Marina and Searoad Ferries. “We see the alliance as a chamber of commerce of marine stakeholders,” Mr Douglas said. He said the study by land use economics specialist Matters More Consulting, led by Marianne Stoettrup, would take about 14 weeks. Results would guide the alliance as well as in-

form the shire’s proposed marine precincts planning study. Matters More did economic impact assessment work in 2008 for the under-construction Peninsula Link freeway. A key topic of the study, funded by the federal government’s Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, will be training and professional development. Mr Douglas said if the marine sector was to grow, trained workers would be needed. The recent closure of a boatbuilding apprenticeship course at Williamstown by Victoria University had been a blow, but provided an opportunity for a similar or more comprehensive marine workforce course to be started in the region. Early discussions had been held with Chisholm TAFE, he said. The $60,000 is part of the government’s stimulus for the region following job losses at BlueScope Steel in Hastings last year after the closure of the hot strip mill and one of two paint lines. Mr Douglas said possible areas for development of the marine industry included Yaringa Harbour, Hastings and Crib Point on Western Port, and Martha Cove (Safety Beach) and Blairgowrie on Port Phillip. The alliance was actively recruiting members, he said. “We have 23 yacht clubs on the peninsula, other waterbased sporting clubs and tourism activities, and we hope they’ll all see the value of working together to advance our entire marine industry.”  Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance will have a stand at the careers expo in August at Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

A view for inspiration By Keith Platt HIGH on a hill overlooking the sea at Mt Martha, Bill Caldwell and his wife Dale visualise days spent overlooking the Aegean Sea in Greece. It is not hard, as the comparisons are there: blue waters stretching to the horizon, small boats bobbing in the waves and a house that borrowed a lot in its design from those built in Greece. Caldwell is a painter who has become known for his works created and inspired by the land and seascapes of Greece, Italy and France. A long-time frequent visitor to those countries, he says the journeys were a necessity to force him to take a break from his profession as a graphic designer and concentrate on his canvasses. These days, the Caldwell Design Studio (run by Bill and Dale) is a thing of the past and Caldwell can concentrate on his art. “I still do a bit of graphic design and teach art,” he says. In October he will teach oil painting to beginners over six weeks for the Peninsula Art Society. But it is an exhibition at the end of this month that is now claiming Caldwell’s attention. He is a member of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society, about to hold its 94th annual exhibition. Caldwell has been a member of the invitation-only society for eight years. His fellow current members are Angela Abbott, Greg Allen, June Barnett, Margaret Cowling, John Dudley, Stephen Doyle, Jacqueline Fowler, Amanda Hyatt, Lee Machelak, Bar-

bara McCallum, Paul McDonaldSmith, Ross Paterson, Herman Pekel, Clive Sinclair, Peter Smales, David Taylor, Maxwell Wilks, Judith Wills and Joseph Zbukvic. Now free to cover his canvasses in oils, pastels and watercolour, Caldwell says his art was always a distinct contrast to his output as a graphic designer. He describes himself as being an artist “all my life”, but adds that his design business was necessary to generate income. “Most of it was corporate work, including annual reports,” he says. He “put off for years” learning how to do graphics on computer, but says they led to “the most productive and rewarding years of my life”. It was easy to adapt his typographic and design skills to working on computers, a background that he believes gave him an edge over younger graphic artists.

“Going away to Europe was the only way I could create art for exhibitions,” Caldwell says. “Greece, France and Italy were our favourites, so we kept going back.” The fascination for Greece saw the Caldwells living on the Greek island of Rhodes during the mid-1970s and they have since spent winters in a small village in southwest France. Members of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society usually submit seven or eight works to the annual exhibition. The society was established in 1918 by a “strong-willed and rebellious group of artists”, says its president Paul McDonald-Smith. “Over nine decades later the society’s aesthetic remains firmly grounded in classical disciplines, as revered by our predecessors, recognising that the pictorial elements of tone, form, colour and drawing are vital prerequisites of fine painting.” Mr McDonald-Smith said presentday members acknowledged “a debt to Max Meldrum’s school of tonal realism”. Past members have included Rupert Bunny, Sir William Dargie, Sir John Longstaff and Clarice Beckett. The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society 94th annual exhibition presented by Jenny Pihan Fine Art opens at 6.30pm Tuesday 31 July and then 10am-5pm daily until Sunday 12 August at the Glen Eira City Council Gallery, corner Hawthorn and Glen Eira roads, Caulfield. Call 9598 9588 or art@jennypihanfineart.com.au To see Bill Caldwell’s art, go to www.billcaldwell.com.au

Wooden walk on this: Simon Finn’s series of drawings and a sculpture of a dilapidated Port Phillip pier led to his animation “Pier Collapsing”.

Artists discovered THE work of more than 30 emerging and undiscovered artists is on show at NotFair 2012 from 1-5 August at 1000 £ Bend in Melbourne. NotFair started in 2010 as an alternative to a normal art fair, says Archibald Prize winner Sam Leach, one of three curators of this year’s show, entitled “Primal Mutation”. “Rather than invite commercial galleries to present artists, NotFair presents a selected mix of artists – emerging and mid-generation,” he said. “We have called the exhibition Primal Mutation to reflect the strange shifts and tendencies that curators have discovered around the country.” Leach and co-curators Melissa Amore and arts writer Ashley Crawford scoured artists’ studios and graduate exhibitions to find artists working in all creative mediums. “It’s difficult for artists to take that first step into the commercial art world,” Melissa Amore said. “This is a great opportunity for artists to be seen

by collectors, curators and critics.” Ashley Crawford said it was called NotFair “because people rarely appreciate the time and overheads artists invest in their work”. The curators said Primal Mutation would present “searing line work, distended bodies, animated visions and lyrical poetics. It is a return to the hand and the craft of art making, and somewhat anti-digital, creating a mutated discourse across painting, drawing, installation and photography.” Among the exhibitors is Simon Finn, who has created charcoal on paper drawings, a nylon sculpture and a digital animation inspired by a collapsing pier on the Mornington Peninsula.  NotFair 2012 “Primal Mutation” will have its official opening 6-9pm on Thursday 2 August at 1000 £ Bend, 316 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne. The gallery is open Monday to Friday 10am-6pm and weekends 11am-5pm. Details: Emme Orbach, 0430 662 301 or www.notfair.com.au

Shire shows way in arts THE “sustainable peninsula” may be making way for “a creative peninsula” as Mornington Peninsula Shire seeks to involve residents in formulating an arts and culture strategy. The shire’s draft Arts & Culture Strategy – A Creative Peninsula – is on public exhibition for comment and discussion during forums at Hastings, Mornington, Sorrento and Rosebud. The strategy involves forming a panel to advise the shire on “cultural policy and development priorities”; developing a public art policy and management plan; providing music bursaries; and increasing the number of arts and cultural festivals, “in particular low-cost community-based music festivals”. The shire says its strategy “reflects and articulates a vision for arts and culture; the needs and aspirations of our community; the shire’s role in local arts and cultural development; and priorities for planning, facilities, programs and communication”. Once adopted, the strategy will cover 2012 to 2015. “Art and culture is more than just providing entertainment, within a community it can foster creativity, inspiration and innovation,” the mayor Cr Frank Martin stated in a shire news release. “It helps strengthen communities through nurturing local identity and a sense of place, and can bring people of diverse backgrounds together to create and enjoy art, and to create a more livable community. “The strategy focuses on ability of arts and culture to help build stronger community connections and aims to improve the skills and capacities necessary for a creative peninsula.” The forums to discuss the arts on the peninsula will be held at: Mornington Library Meeting Room, Vancouver St, Mornington, 6-8pm Wednesday 18 July. Sorrento Nepean Historical Society, 827 Melbourne Rd, 6-8pm Thursday 19 July. Hastings Hall, 3 High St, 1-4pm Wednesday July 25. The Community Hub@Eastbourne, Rosebud, 11a Allambie Av, Rosebud West, 6-8pm Wednesday 1 August. The strategy can be inspected at council offices downloaded from www.mornpen.vic.gov.au under Have your Say. For more information contact cultural planner Andrea Ebsworth on 0438 051 092.

Laid bare: Erosion continues along the gully leading from The Eyrie to Point Nepean Rd, McCrae, as bad weather halts remediation work. Picture: Yanni

Gully a trap for costly earthworks BAD weather is delaying work to stem erosion in a steep gully leading down to Point Nepean Rd in McCrae. The problematic gully which begins at The Eyrie, a road at the top of the cliff, has been overgrown with blackberries and other weeds. A walking track on its banks has been closed for some years because of the erosion. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said the $950,000 works now have an “approximate” completion date of September or October.

A sign erected by Mornington Peninsula Shire at the site last year claimed that the job had been finished by contractors Maw Civil in August 2010. Mr Atkins said that despite the delays there had been no cost overrun and that rubble and fill being stored at the former quarry on the Esplanade, Mt Martha, would be removed “once The Eyrie project has been completed”. Mr Atkins has previously told The News that Maw’s will not be charged for late delivery of the project and that he believed any change in cost would “be minor in the context of the project”.

He said occupational health and safety officers seen near The Eyrie works on Monday were “on site to discuss the proposed demolition of the house next door”. In January Mr Atkins predicted there would be further delays to the project. “Delays can be expected with earthworks in an unstable and wet area during a period with a high likelihood of further rain, and works will not commence while there is an unacceptable risk to local residents,” Mr Atkins said. The work did start, but its completion date has again blown out. Keith Platt

Recreational traps harm wildlife By Klarissa Garnaut FISHING is one of the region’s favourite pastimes, but it hides a darker side that many people are not aware of. Wildlife in both Port Phillip and Western Port sustain horrendous injuries from discarded fishing gear around piers, rocks or from boats. Fatalities increase during the warmer months with the onslaught of holidaymakers and keen anglers. Seals and sea turtles all suffer, while for seabirds it is mainly the deep-diving phelagic fishing birds – Australasian gannets, Pacific gulls, large pied cormorants, kelp gulls and penguins – that feed on shoals of pilchards and similar-sized bait fish. As juveniles, these birds never see a whole fish until they leave their parents and hunt on their own. If they have been hindered by the loss of a parent, the crash of natural food supplies or are late finishing birds, they will float around, slowly starving to death or attempt to raid lines. Sadly, many anglers cut loose these birds without freeing them from the line, which can lead to them being strangled, infected or unable to fly. Eventually, it can lead to a slow death from starvation. Our estuary and creek birds make up a high percentage of those involved in entanglements: pelicans, swans, little pied cormorants, darters, waders and an assortment of ducks and gulls just to name a few. The rise and fall of the tide exposes lines, hooks and old baits caught on embankments and pylons. Most of these are cut off by people when they become snagged, and the dabblers and foragers become hopelessly caught, especially young birds like cormorants that ingest the whole mass, thinking they have come across an easy meal. It is a tragedy to lose adult birds by human negligence as they are the breeding stock. Looking after fishing-impacted wildlife is costly for wildlife career. Initial treatment can involve anesthetics or sedation, x-rays and exploratory surgery. If all goes well, the medical treatment is followed by rehabilitation. The estuary and creek birds need deep wading pools, quiet sandy yards and correct diets. Seabirds should only be rehabilitated at a

facility with a pool deep enough for diving and with a large enclosed sand yard where the bird can move and stretch its massive wings. These birds can go through a two-kilogram block of Western Australian pilchards in a matter of days and at $13.50 a bag it can be expensive. There are also the oral fluids needed, vitamin tablets and antibiotics. At this time of year we are experiencing the annual die-off of adult little penguins. They are weak birds that come in at a higher frequency if the water is turbulent and murky, making it harder for them to seek the fish they need. I have been lucky to be mentored by two wonderful people in rehabilitating seabirds. Marg Healy, formerly of the Phillip Island Nature Park, has an amazing wealth of knowledge with more than 20 years’ experience. Mandy Hall, a terrific and energetic seabird “rehabber”, has made massive inroads into getting better laws to protect our birds. The amazing, uncomplaining vets patiently cater to all the oddities we send their way and are truly inspiring. It is reasonably quiet at the moment, caring for two penguins, two juvenile female brushtail possums, two sugar gliders, two baby bluetongue lizards and one microbat. The penguins need to gain some weight and become waterproof and the other animals are waiting for the warmer weather and more growth. It is important that we give the same care and attention to possums as we do to more unusual species. We need donations of good, solid avaries, carry cages, shade cloth and towels, and we prefer people to see how their donations are used by volunteering or to sign up as rescuers. We do not accept money at the gate but donations can be made to WHOMP (Wildlife Help On the Mornington Peninsula). To help with injured wildlife, call me on 0488 494 667, WHOMP on 0417 380 687, Jenny Bryant (koalas) on 5977 3321, Belinda Grey on 0407 978 297 or Una and John Merrick on 5998 7705 or 0412 433 727 in the Frankston area.

Backing for green wedges

Salad days: Arthur and Pam Tulk with Adam Kelly of After-Care beside the Tulk’s raised vegie garden.

Arthur’s garden a step up ROSEBUD resident Arthur Tulk suffered a stroke more than a decade ago and one of the activities he most misses is gardening. Confined to a wheelchair, Mr Tulk is back in the garden courtesy of AfterCare Australasia, a Rosebud-based service that helps people remain living in their own homes. Its maintenance team built a raised vegetable garden that Mr Tulk could reach from the sitting position.

After-Care’s maintenance manager Adam Kelly said Mr Tulk had been an avid gardener and handyman. “Arthur was frustrated that he was wheelchair-bound and missed the outdoors and his garden. “His wife Pam was also keen to get Arthur out and about in the fresh air,” Mr Kelly said. “For the past six months, Arthur and Pam have enjoyed the fruits of his labour as he has been spending a few

hours each day in the garden.” Mr Kelly said it was important that every client of After-Care was made to feel as comfortable as possible in their own surroundings. “Client services include personal care, in-home respite and socialisation, transport, domestic assistance, home maintenance and gardening.” Details: 1300 464 663 or email: inhome@after-care.com

By Mike Hast THE shire council has been surprised at the level of interest at its first four “Plan Peninsula” meetings in protecting green wedge zones. The first of 15 “Plan Peninsula Conversations” started late last month in Rye and Mornington, with residents providing ideas to Mornington Peninsula Shire planners. Meetings at Mt Eliza and Dromana were held last week. There has been almost unanimous support for retaining the existing 70-30 split between green wedges and development, and keeping land for farming rather than development. The shire’s draft budget proposes increasing the agricultural rate from 30 to 35 per cent. It would see owners of agricultural land pay full rates on the land around homes and outbuildings, but 35 per cent on the remainder. There was strong support for flora and fauna corridors, also known as biolinks. Although the first meetings have been on the Port Phillip side of the peninsula, there also was strong support for an expanded Port of Hastings to become a “green” port with the state government encouraged to do all possible to keep Western Port unpolluted. Residents’ input will form part of the shire’s submission to the state government’s promised “Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement”.

WE WE WE WE WE WE WE

The statement will guide how the government allows the peninsula to develop and what will be preserved. About 200 residents attended the first four meetings – 40 at Rye, 20 at Mornington, more than 100 at Mt Eliza and 25 at Dromana. Topics at the sessions included:  Maintaining green wedge zones and supporting sustainable agriculture.  Keeping commercial areas compact and preserving the “charm” of peninsula towns.  Concerns about the impact of Peninsula Link freeway on lifestyle and amenity.  Improving connections between train and bus services.  More disabled parking as the population ages and access to the foreshore for people of all abilities.  Keeping the peninsula “special” and protecting Crown land. Residents can also have their say online via Twitter, Facebook and YouTube (www.youtube.com/mornpenshire). Search Twitter or Facebook for “Plan Peninsula” or fill in the online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ PlanPeninsula For details of the meeting, call the shire on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000, email planpeninsula@mornpen.vic. gov.au or visit the shire’s website at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

Priced at the lower end of the market, the property would be perfect as a rental investment or weekender.

WELCOME aboard this appealing three-bedroom weatherboard home, set close to Rye Ocean Beach, where the waves and sounds of the ocean create their own lullaby. The home has a great aspect and all living areas are bright and sunny. The high-pitched ceilings create a wonderful sense of space. The large main living area has tiled floors and consists of a kitchen with dishwasher and wall oven, and a neat little wine rack built into the breakfast bar, plus family and dining areas. There is a separate formal lounge and full bathroom with shower and spa bath. The 840-square metre block is very low maintenance with landscaped native gardens, visible from most rooms, at the front and back and a quaint outdoor area underneath the branches of a moonah tree.

It’s a bug’s life but the right stuff can turn the tide By Mike Hast TO Penny Woodward, gardens are places somewhat like the one in the 1989 comedy Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Ms Woodward sees things at the micro level: “From the lowliest worm, centipede, ant, beetle, caterpillar and bug to frogs, lizards and birds, and humans, everything has a place in the garden. “Everything in the garden depends on other garden occupants and interacts with them,” says the Somers gardener and bestselling author of organic gardening books. The prolific author has just had published a revised version of her bestselling Pest-Repellent Plants with new information and new photographs. As well as more than 60 relevant plants, it includes other organic solutions, from traps and barriers to sprays, oils, dusting powders and washes made from common kitchen products such as molasses, coffee and bicarbonate of soda. It is being launched at Petersen’s Books in Hastings on Saturday 14 July. More than 20,000 copies are in print and the new second edition is likely to be as popular with an increasing number of people growing their own food and trying to keep bugs off their produce. “The philosophy of pest-repellent gardening is that the garden should be a haven for all creatures and Queen of herbs: Penny Woodward in her garden at Somers.

plants, big and small, not a battleground,” she said. “Using sprays, even organic ones, should be a last resort. I encourage people to spend time in the garden and get to know the insects as not all of them are pests. “Gardeners need to concentrate on healthy soil and healthy plants as well as a diversity of planting, including predator-attracting plants.” Ms Woodward says the dedicated gardener will provide homes and food for frogs, birds, lizards and bats, all of which feed on pests. The book covers plants that mask, repel and kill pests. It has information on traps, trickery, netting and barriers to keep pests away from precious plants. Common household items that are organic and can also be used against pests include soap, molasses, coffee, bicarbonate of soda, copper, sulphur and even water. “Your observations will show you the complexity and fragility of a garden ecosystem and some of the astonishing relationships that exist between insects and plants,” she said. “Forget about bombarding everything that moves with a cocktail of the latest pesticides.”  Pest-repellent Plants (full-colour paperback, 160 pages, $27.95) is being launched by Pam Vardy, convener of 3CR’s Garden Show, at Petersen’s Books, 103 High St, Hastings, at 1.30pm on Saturday 14 July. Free event, but book on 5979 8233. More information about Penny Woodward is at: www.penny woodward.com.au

Efficacy of nepetalactone PENNY Woodward says there are some almost miraculous substances that can help gardeners win the war against bugs. Nepetalactone features in her book Pest-Repellent Plants. First isolated from the plant catnip in 1941, the substance is 10 times more effective than DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) at repelling mosquitoes Ms Woodward writes that it also repels bloodsucking flies that attack cattle and horses. “If you grow catnip around the vegetable garden and near the house, it will repel mice and rats. Fresh catmint leaves sprinkled along ants’ trails will repel them,” she writes. The related species catmint will repel cockroaches and the plant’s oil has been used to kill hair lice. There is a recipe for catmint spray in the book. When it comes to caterpillars, Ms Woodward is more hands-on. “The most effective way to manage caterpillars is to spend 30 minutes in the garden early in the morning plucking them off your plants. “If there is a huge invasion, as can happen with army worms (caterpillars of several different moths), it may be necessary to spray immediately with soap, as treating with organic insecticides could take too long to take effect and the damage may be done.” Ms Woodward’s encyclopedic knowledge of gardening started when she worked as a volunteer at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London in 1980. Back in Australia, she ran a herb nursery, wrote An Australian Herbal (now called Herbs for Australian Gardens) and looked after a National Trust property before moving to the peninsula. Since then she has been researching, writing about, talking about and growing useful plants.

Healthy Living

Join Curves on the Bay’s July food drive Cholesterol questions answered CHOLESTEROL is a type of fat that is vital for life. It is a building block for many metabolic processes in the body including making hormones, supporting cell structure and making bile. Cholesterol can be found in certain foods (meats, dairy products, eggs) and is also made by your liver. Too much cholesterol can be detrimental to your health by promoting fatty plaque deposits in blood vessels. Cholesterol: the good and the bad When you get your cholesterol levels checked our practitioners will be interested in two main types of cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. HDL is essentially the “good” form of cholesterol while LDL is the “bad” form. If the ratio of HDL:LDL is out of balance (that is, not enough HDL, too much LDL), it puts you at increased risk of heart disease.

Five simple steps to lowering your cholesterol Follow a cholesterol-lowering eating plan – eliminate damaging trans fats found in fast foods, fried foods and baked goods. Trans fats increase your risk of developing heart disease by increasing the “bad cholesterol”. Reduce your saturated fat by eating only lean meats as this can cause weight gain. Increase good fats, cold water fish, nuts and seeds. Follow the Mediterranean diet. Cut down on sugar, soft drinks, juices and processed foods as these frequently contain “hidden sugars”. When there is an oversupply the body converts this to fat which negatively affects cholesterol balance. Lose weight – get moving – adapt a healthy lifestyle (address stress and smoking) – supportive supplements from Peninsula Herbal Dispensary. Karen Jackson ND

Doctor Teeth and the Eclectic Mayhem By Stuart McCullough DR Craig Emerson is more than just the Minister for Trade. He’s also a lousy singer. Indeed, to judge by his efforts last week slaughtering the Skyhooks song Horror Movie, karaoke night in Canberra must be a dismal affair. To watch him perform, it was impossible not to be reminded of those hapless souls who used to turn up to the “Idol” auditions, convinced that they were the greatest thing to happen to singing since Caruso gave the larynx a wobble, only to be humiliated on national television because they sounded more like David Caruso than Enrico. This was much the same, except the humiliation was selfinflicted. Indeed, mockery from the press pack was notable for its absence. It is a sad day for the free media when no one feels free enough to start booing or lobbing over-ripened fruit in response to such a woeful performance. This was no heartfelt tribute. Rather, it was a tragic attempt at parody gone horribly wrong. One in which the minister completely desecrated a song by replacing the original lyrics with some of his own invention. Skyhooks sang about a horror movie appearing on their television with the twist being that the program in question was, in fact, the 6.30 news. This, of course, was back in the days

when news appeared at 6.30 rather than at times so various as to read like a bus schedule. The minister’s lyrics included “no Whyalla wipe-out, there on my TV”. Let me say that replacing the original lyrics to a song to perpetrate some kind of parody is something of a rich tradition. But to effectively parody anything, it’s necessary to pay some level of attention to things like metre and rhyme. This is where Dr Emerson went so tragically wrong. It is clear that Weird Al Yankovic will not be looking over his shoulder any time soon.

Joke!!!

But this was not a mere moment of madness, either. Sometimes people blame acts of lunacy on something referred to as a “brain snap”. Strictly speaking, this may not be a medical term. Pink Floyd put it better when they referred to “a momentary lapse of reason”. But no such claim can be made in this instance. For it has since emerged that this act of unparalleled musical butchery was the result of some significant level of consideration. Dr E’s lyrics, it would seem, were prepared in advance. He even went so far as to seek permission from

RIddle Solution

ANSWER:

one of the original members of the band. I can only assume that permission was granted without the benefit of hearing the words. The terrifying thing about that particular revelation is that it suggests that this is about the best we can expect from Dr Emerson. It’s not the first time either. Last month, he performed, in part, the song Living in the 70s while in the parliamentary chamber. What Skyhooks did to deserve this kind of a beating is anybody’s guess. It’s not as though his original performance

went over so well as to demand some kind of encore. It begs the question: what do you do when someone decides to pose a question to you in song form? Harmonise? Produce a Stratocaster and begin soloing? It’s hard to say. Maybe the best response to such a musical travesty would be to refer the minister to a particular song by the singer CeeLo Green. But while the natural response of most people hearing Dr Emerson’s golden throat belch out the lyrics to “Whyalla Wipe-out” would be to fall to the ground on bended knees, hands cupped to their bleeding eardrums and letting lose an anguished cry to the heavens of ‘why, oh Lord, why?’, I much prefer to ask an altogether different question: what’s next? Clearly, the minister has a thing for Skyhooks. Surely the day cannot be too far off when an unsuspecting general public is treated to a rendition of All My Friends are Getting Increased Household Assistance or Carbon Is Not a Dirty Word. But why take such a narrow musical view? I’d like to see Dr Craig trip down through the ages. If parliament can sacrifice an hour to listen to the member for Dobell, it can spare a few minutes to allow him to give his tonsils a proper shake. He could open with a tribute to classic doo-wop masters

Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers with Whyalla Do Fools Fall in Love? From there, he could take things up a notch and serve a steaming heap of classic ’80s indie rock with REM’s It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Moving into the ’90s, Dr Emerson should stay well away from grunge, as “grunge” sounds like the kind of thing he might like to tax. Instead, he should select a tune from the repertoire of another musical doctor – Dr Dre. Nuthin’ But a C Thang or Combet Day (And Everybody’s Celebratin’) are obvious choices. Or, if he doesn’t feel he can bring the rhyme, he could form a band and call himself Craig against the Machine. For something more recent, he could do worse than borrow from Willow Smith and her brain-worm of a tune I Flick My Hair and adjust it to I Flick the Lights On and Off. It was another Minister of the Crown who put it best. Peter Garrett – who as a former professional singer is yet to burst into song about anything – tweeted that Dr Emerson was doing a great job – as a Trade Minister. Even his dancing was horrible. On the day of the big recital, there is one song that demands to be sung: I Started a Joke. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance IN 2008 Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson became only the second married couple in the history of the Australian album charts to have an album debut at No 1. Who was the other couple? John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Chambers and Nicholson have braved the perils of locking themselves into a small studio and have recorded Wreck & Ruin (Liberation), the highly anticipated follow up to their 2008 platinum album Rattlin’ Bones. “Having been almost five years since we made Rattlin’ Bones we thought it was time to tempt fate and challenge our marriage by making another album together,” said Nicholson (pictured with yours truly). “We have both made solo albums in between but in the back of our minds we knew we would end up making music together again. “The writing process fell into place easier than we had planned so we grabbed some musician friends and recorded us all jamming the songs on a farm for a week. Wreck & Ruin was born and gave us a chance to revisit the sounds of music that we love to make together where it can be traditional but not conventional.” The cover artwork for the album was commissioned from United Kingdom-based Australian artist Kerry Evans. The album is co-produced by Nash Chambers, Shane Nicholson and Kasey Chambers and was recorded at Foggy Mountain Studios. Due for release on 7 September, Wreck & Ruin will have 13 tracks including first single Adam and Eve, which is due for release on 23 July. *** WE had a great response to our Beatle DVD competition and six lucky winners will be drawn from the many entries and the DVDs posted in the next couple of weeks. In coming months we will give readers the chance to win some great DVDs including ABBA, box sets of the original television series Wagon Train, Bachman Turner Overdrive Live in Concert and more. *** THANKS largely to John Fogerty’s

rough, inimitable voice and seemingly bottomless supply of great melodies, Creedence Clearwater Revival was the pre-eminent American singles band of the late ’60s and early ’70s. John Fogerty and his brother Tommy were raised in Berkeley, California, where John studied piano and at age 12 received his first guitar. He met bandmates Cook and Clifford at El Cerrito Junior High School, and by 1959 the group was performing at local dances as Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets. In 1964 the quartet signed to San Francisco-based Fantasy Records, where Tom had been working as a shipping clerk. The label renamed them the Golliwogs and began putting out singles. Brown-Eyed Girl sold 10,000 copies in 1965, but follow-ups were flops. Greater success came after they changed the name to Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967. Several Fogerty compositions ap-

peared on Creedence Clearwater Revival, but cover versions of Dale Hawkins’ Suzie Q and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins I Put a Spell on You were the group’s first hit. With the release of Bayou Country, CCR became the most popular rock band in America beginning with the two-sided gold hit Proud Mary and Born on the Bayou. Creedence had seven major hit singles in 1969 and 1970, including Bad Moon Rising, Green River, Fortunate Son, Down on the Corner, Travelin’ Band, Up Around the Bend and Lookin’ Out My Backdoor. Umbrella Entertainment has released a special DVD, The Ultimate Review Creedence Clearwater Revival (Umbrella, RRP $14.99), which was put out at the end of John Fogerty’s recent Australian tour. It features an in-depth retrospective analysis with original bass player Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford. Live performances include classic

tracks such as Tombstone Shadow, Travelin’ Band, Green River, Midnight Special, Bad Moon Rising and Proud Mary plus interviews with John Fogerty and other members. We have some copies of the DVD to give away. Send your name and address on the back of an envelope to: Creedence DVD, MP News Group, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915. *** ROADSHOW Films releases the critically acclaimed documentary Bully on 23 August. Directed by Sundance Festival and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch, Bully is a character-driven documentary that offers an intimate, unflinching look at how bullying has touched five American kids and their families. According to the National Centre Against Bullying, 27 per cent of young Australians say they are bullied every two weeks or more, with cyber bullying happening to one in 10. Bully is rated M. For 24/7 crisis support, call Lifeline on 131 114 or visit www.lifeline.org. au *** ROD Stewart has signed a worldwide recording agreement with Universal Music Group. Stewart has sold more than 150 million albums, scored countless charting hits, 18 Grammy nominations and two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) by the Queen of England. Stewart’s album Merry Christmas, Baby is due out 9 November. *** THE Wrokdown show The Age of Rockers is at Village Green Hotel on Saturday 21 July featuring Ronnie Charles (The Groop), Mick Pealing (The Stars), Neale Johns (Blackfeather) and Marcie Jones (Marcie & The Cookies) backed by Gavin Carroll and the Wrokdown Circus Band playing

second. I went to bed, sooky. *** LET me get this straight: Carlton’s Brock McLean was fined $5000 with a suspended one-game ban for an AIDS reference tweet in reply to a critical fan tweet, but Ben Cousins was fined $800 on a methamphetamine drug charge? Also, Brock must undergo compulsory counselling. What is the world coming to? Socrates, supposedly the founder of Western philosophy in 400BC, is said to have searched Europe for a wise man and concluded all men were fools; including himself one assumes as he was reported to be a heavy drinker, quarrelsome, a pedant, commended poverty and was unable to moderate his affections. So what’s my point? None. Consistency is my middle name. *** DAME Julia’s grilling by the press at the conclusion of the G20 Summit in Mexico was good, helped by a healthy economy and favourable unemployment figures in comparison with most other countries. Will this help her at the next election? Not likely as no one will be listening. It boils down to trust. But do we trust Tony if we don’t trust Julia? Tony says he will scrap the carbon tax. Does this mean (assuming a core promise) prices will go down? Never. Julia then travelled

to Rio to talk of sustainable development. Merry-go-round. *** I DROPPED in to the first of 15 Plan Peninsula Conversations at Rye where the shire is asking residents about the future look, feel and role of the peninsula. Got a showbag with a soup container and pen; there was plenty of soup and sandwiches on tap. The big chief Michael Kennedy (no bow tie) was in attendance as well as Rye councillor Bill Goodrem. No talk of the usual suspects – traffic, tip fees, holiday house rubbish, louts, pot holes and taxis; it was all about sustainable, green stuff. Whether results will follow this fine idea remains to be seen but in the meantime log on to www. mornpen.vic.gov.au and have your say, or go along to one of the “conversations” for your free showbag and tucker. *** TO all you lovely people who gave John Brumby the boot, including some of my friends and others particularly in the Frankston area, are you happy with your choice? True, honest Geoff Shaw’s doing very well for himself and Ted has axed 3615 jobs, but, hey, a surplus is what it’s all about, right? And who cares about a few TAFE courses and half a dozen non-core promises. Still, credit where

it’s due: Ted will keep his promise to present the all-night White Night Melbourne Festival. What’s that? No idea, but it sounds nice. *** JULIAN Assange in Ecuador? Those Yanks are a worry. No doubt Julian is aware of Julia and Swanny’s promise of support “for all Australians”, otherwise known as hot air. He and we remember the wonderful support our government gave to David Hicks in Guantanamo. Never mind the Double Dutch, Julia; you are on notice to put Julian out of reach of the USA, a forlorn hope I suspect. Then again Julian did expose big secrets, none of which surprised me, and in the process caused a little-known whistleblower to spend years in jail. *** THE fascination of the positioning of the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre continues. The efforts of Cr Tim Rodgers and Cr Graham Pittock (ably supported by the Cains, et al) to oppose the democratically voted approval may or may not bring the majority of residents out of the woodwork. Their tactics encourage me to support the council’s decision. We wait and watch. *** RANDOM thoughts: Am I a paranoid

A Grain of Salt GAMBLING is a rathole! No point explaining it any other way. Our leaders maintain (tongue in cheek) that they are educating the public, with their cut ever increasing. Up to a point they believe themselves, but no, it’s a disease, people. A gambling addict bets to lose, not win. Never mind the thousands who bet on the pokies as a sense of enjoyment within their financial limits; I’m not referring to them. When the addicts win they bet bigger, to lose. You may think this strange but I’ve seen it, time and time again. The trick is knowing when the lucky run is over, but addicts don’t know, never do, until they lose. We now have Victoria’s Responsible Gambling Foundation replacing Brumby’s Responsible Gambling Advocacy Centre? Rank hypocrisy. It’s a cash cow. Sport, the works, whatever. Give James Packer more casinos? Why not! Sick. *** THE earthquake of 5.4 magnitude was a worry. “Did the earth move for you?” was, of course, the opening line from most people I met the following day.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Rye stops Hillmen, Buds frighten Sorrento NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt RYE proved it had the artillery to match it with the best sides in the business after smashing second place Red Hill to the tune of 100-plus points on Saturday. Billed as the MPNFL Nepean Division match of the day, the game did not live up to expectations, reaching only one exciting stage in terms of the contest. This came in the third quarter when Red Hill kicked consecutive goals to get within 16 points. Rye kicked the next 10 goals of the quarter to stretch a three-goal break into an 88-point lead at three-quarter time. The Hillmen were insipid. Red Hill coach Gary Colling said at three-quarter time that it hadn’t been a good day for his charges. “Things haven’t gone well for us today but that’s footy. Sometimes you have those days,” Colling said. “It’s important we play the game out and take some positives away from the match.” The Hillmen folded like a deck of cards when the going got tough and at times it appeared to be a game between men and boys. Red Hill had five under-18s in the team, although considering the lead-in form of Jarryd Douglas and Josh Mold, this could hardly be used as an excuse. If there’s one thing coaches have been consistent with this season, it is not using youth as a lack of effort. Regardless of age, there can still be effort. Red Hill went into the game without Daniel McNamara, Luke Adams and Sean Holmes, all missing from the side that beat Frankston Bombers the week

before. These three would have made significant difference, but one questions how much. Rye played some of the best football Nepean Division has seen this season and it was instigated by three players. Rhett Sutton dominated in the ruck. His tap work was sensational and he was all over the ground, helping the defenders and finishing with two goals. Adam Kirkwood was the best player on the ground. He gathered more than 30 possessions, most of them coming in dangerous positions through the middle. His centre clearance work was dominant. Justin Van Unen was another who was simply magical. He finished with 10 goals, giving him 85 for the season. He brought the house down when he gathered a loose ball, looked directly at the social rooms with the goals behind him, and kicked it over his head and through the middle. Darren Booth continued his outstanding season across half-back and Ben Holmes recaptured his dominant form, especially in the second half, booting four goals. The Demons are a more formidable proposition with Holmes, Andrew Dean, Aaron Fiddes and Van Unen in the forward line. When Lyle House returns, probably this week, it will free Sutton to play a key role in the back line with occasional forays in attack. I’d like to see the ruckmen resting deep forward. There wasn’t a lot to crow about for the Hillmen, although Ryan Blake, Joe Kreiger and Andrew Gilmour worked tirelessly. Skipper Holmes said after the match that it was “embarrassing”. “We didn’t handle the pressure of the

match very well and there was a lot of fumbling today also,” he said. “I didn’t think we adapted to the ground very well either, going very wide. “Rye was exception and when they got the run on in the third, I don’t think anyone was going to stop them.” Due to the closeness of the competition, Red Hill has fallen from being two points clear in second place to being two points out of the five in sixth place. Rye has gone to third. Dromana has gone to second place on the table after a demolition of Somerville, winning by a whopping 174 points. The Tigers had 50 scoring shots to just 11, booting 15 goals in the first half and 14 in the second. A dozen players hit the scoreboard for the Tigers, Jay Hutchison booting five, Steven Gaertner four and Paul Minchington and Rikki Johnston three each. Johnston was sensational for the Tigers, almost unopposed all afternoon, while Scott Joyce and Adam Hunter also did as they pleased. Gaertner was also a dominant force. The Eagles booted just one goal in each half. Caleb Cox and Justin Allsop worked hard all afternoon through the middle and in defence and Justin Farrelly tried hard in the ruck. Frankston Bombers trailed Tyabb at half-time but managed to boot 13 goals to one in the second hour to record a 67-point win. Brad Wakeling booted five goals and Jake Foster and Matty Meagher three each for the Bombers, while the big news was the return and good form of Jason Clapp. Clapp is a very important player and

with Brian O’Carroll, Ben Drake, Nathan Martin, Dean Wagner, there is still some upside to this Bombers team. Haydn Moore and Nathan Lonie have been among Frankston’s best all season and their good form continued on Saturday, while youngsters Matt Offer and Jay Page were very important players. Young Justin Rowley was fantastic for the Yabbies, while brothers Ethan and Simon Rahilly, along with Scott Pickersgill, also worked hard all afternoon. Hastings achieved something it hasn’t been able to do very often this season – win two games on the trot. The Blues took on the dangerous but inconsistent Devon Meadows at the Panther pit on Saturday and by halftime the game was over. The Blues booted nine goals to four in the first half and the final margin was 41 points. Colin McVeigh made it 10 in two games with four majors, while Dylan Hand and Adam Jago finished with three goals each. Andy Kiely, despite nursing five stitches in his fingers, was again in great form again and Grant Masterson played one of his best games for the club in the past two seasons. Paul Rogasch continues to be a force across half-back. Ash Adams booted three for the Panthers, while Brett Armitage, Brandon Wapshot and Alex Doria collected the key votes. Crib Point booted six goals to five behinds in the first quarter against Pearcedale and that was the end of the game. The Dales were able to go toe to toe with the Magpies after the first change,

booting 10 goals to 11, but the damage had been done. Brad Davidson booted four and Luke Herrington and Jon Flack three each for the Magpies, while James Cook and Dean Kairies dominated. Pad Cadd booted seven for the Dales, while Chris Fortnam and Damien McCormack also shone. Rosebud went within a kick of defeating reigning premier Sorrento, beaten by the siren in a thriller at Olympic Park in Rosebud. Sorrento started well and when they were 13 points up at half-time, it appeared as though they were going to pull the trigger at any stage. However, the Buds stuck to the task with Brenton Payne (two goals) and Rhys Bancroft playing well through the middle and Matt Baker providing a target in attack. By three-quarter time, the Buds had cut the margin to seven points. Sorrento peppered the goals in the last quarter for behinds as the only return while the Buds booted two goals straight. It was the first time in memory that Sorrento had been kept to under 10 goals. Troy Schwarze was probably the difference between the sides. His leadership and willingness to win were outstanding, while Daniel Grant and Leigh Treeby through the middle were also influential. Lachy Armstrong played his best game of the year for the Buds with three goals and Chris Rogers and Nick Boswell continued their outstanding touch in the back line.

Young Blues’ last kick hero Game 404 for legend LIFE – and sport – is all about timing. Sometimes you miss the train, the bus, the ball, the wave and sometimes you arrive with exquisite timing. The Hastings versus Devon Meadows under-18s game on the weekend was a case in point. It was the first time the two teams met as the Panthers joined the MPNFL this year. The Blues were sitting eighth on the ladder with four wins and six losses. Devon Meadows was in fourth with six wins and three defeats. Hastings had to win to stay in the race for a top five spot. Enter Steven Robb. With just minutes left and scores level, Robb was on the bench with an injured hand. Robb pleads with his coach Scott Williams to put him back on the ground. He tells his coach: “I want to help my teammates; I want to win the game.” Williams looks at Robb. The young man is a third-year under-18 player; a great talent. He takes a punt and puts the kid back on the ground. Devon is now in front by three points. There is just 60 seconds, perhaps, remaining in the final quarter. Robb enters the ground on the wing, the ball is kicked in, heads out to Devon’s for-

ward 50 line and is marked by Hastings. Robb calls for it and the ball kicked to his position on the wing, but it is a contest (time 11.50.22) and the ball spills to the advantage of Hastings, bounces and is gathered beyond the centre square by Ben Schroen (11.50.25). Schroen is blocked by a Devon defender and loops a handball over the top in an attempt to hit full-forward Kyron Pratt; it falls short, bounces and players from both sides dive on the ball. It is desperate times as the players do not know how much time is left. Ball-up (11.50.42). The ball hits the ground, again players from both sides dive on it; ball not going anywhere. Ball-up (11.50.54). As an on-

baller, Robb has made his way into the forward line and stands outside the pack. Ball goes up, Nathan Goodacre rucks the ball for Hastings, ball comes out to Robb, two steps, 12 metres out from goals, 10 metres wide of the point post, ball onto the left boot (11.50.56). There is tension all over the ground, everyone follows the ball towards the goal – it’s a goal! Robb has slotted the ball through from a tight angle, Hastings players in the forward line erupt with elation and run toward Robb, siren sounds (11.51.01). Hastings has won by three points. A great game of footy. Hastings still in the race for a top five spot.

By Scot Palmer FEW players on the Mornington Pensinsula are admired as highly as the much-decorated Sorrento veteran Guy Stringer who will break a banner on Saturday to celebrate a competition record and milestone. At 39, the rugged Stringer has done it all and against Frankston Bombers will break the competition’s senior games record of 346 games, but when the lot is tallied up, including league representative games and other “sundries”, it is an amazing 404 games. From Sorrento – where last year he won the best and fairest medal in the Sharks’ back-toback premierships – to the battlegrounds of Frankston Pines, Frankston VFA, Hastings, twice to Edithvale-Aspendale and even Darwin, Stringer is admired as a “player’s player”. Throughout he has always been Sorrento’s “favourite son”, starting out in the Sharks’ under-18 side and reserves from where he went on to play 15 games with St Kilda under-19s. In 2003 he returned for a time to McFarlan Oval to help in the rebirth of the club he loved. The MPNFL have already recognised his talent and service with a life membership. A courageous backman (although he did win a club goalkicking record), Stringer told teammates his great enjoyment comes from the cut and thrust of tight footy and, when his top-the-ladder Sharks are victorious, joining with the team in the dressing rooms to sing the club song. The Sharks intend to do this on the field in front of the grandstand on Saturday so all supporters can join the rousing chorus. Stringer’s father Keith – who first introduced him to the club as a boy and who played in two

premiership – would hardly have dreamed he was setting Guy on such a long and colourful pathway. Club president Garry Woodhams is always amazed how Stringer still plays as if it was his first game. His career is studded with premierships and best and fairest awards and for proof of what Guy Stringer means to peninsula footy. his Anzac Day medal this year says it all. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Stonecats rope Bulls, Dogs noble in defeat PENINSULA DIVISION

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW maintained its psychological advantage over Karingal with a solid 16-point victory in the MPNFL Peninsula Division match of the day. In one of three Peninsula Division games played on Saturday, the Bulls started well and led by four points at quarter time. However, the Stonecats, through the likes of Anthony Barry in the back line and Ash Eames in the ruck, were able to hit back in the second quarter and regain the ascendancy by half-time. When games become a dog fight against YCW, very rarely does the opposition win. The Stonecats’ game is built around defence and they make

scoring extremely tough. Karingal has been a highscoring side this season, but on Saturday was restricted to just nine goals. Chris Hay booted four of them, but there wasn’t another Bull who kicked multiple goals. The Stonecats had a couple of key targets with Ricky Morris bobbing up and finishing with four majors, while Michael Chaplin was among the goals for the first time in a while with three majors. Ben Tellis was at his mercurial best through the middle for the winners and Brad Ulms gave the Stonecats fans something to cheer about, such was his good form. Kevin Lylak is one of a handful of underrated players at YCW, but his performance was solid. Karingal certainly wasn’t dis-

graced and once again it needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out how it can score against this side. Given the St Kilda connection, it would pay to take a video of the game and get the powers that be at St Kilda to take a look at things. Justin Peckett led the charge once again for the Bull and, despite his tender age, is in some of the best form of his local footy career. David Hirst and Steve Charalambous continue to shine, and James Tyquin has been the pick of the Bulls’ recruits this season. Frankston YCW opened the game up in the third quarter, booting three goals to one and when the Stonecats get their noses in front, they are very hard to stop. Bonbeach is well and truly in the finals race after holding on to defeat Seaford in a one-point thriller. Shane McDonald and Mark Tyrell booted three goals each for the Sharks as they led at every change to record a 16.11 to 15.16 victory. Shaun Foster and Patty Liston were outstanding for the Sharks while Tommy Payton continues to show maturity beyond his years. The Sharks were dominant in the opening half. The visitors booted six goals to three in the opening quarter and were aided

by accuracy early on. In fact, it proved to be the difference between winning and losing. The second quarter was a shoot-out with 9.8 kicked for the term. Bonbeach was still doing the better and led by 21 points at the major change. Justin Norton and McDonald were on top of their games, and Nathan Hicks and Blake Matthews were sniffing around the goals. Seaford needed a lift and it came in the form of Chris Irving, Keiran Shaw and Aaron Turner in the third term and the Seaford Rd oval came alight. The Tigers booted 6.7 to 3.1 and changed the momentum of the game. Had they kicked accurately, the Tigers would have led by three goals at three-quarter time, not three points. The final term was an arm wrestle, the Sharks peppering the goals for a return of 2.6, while Seaford kicked 2.2. Bonbeach is now equal on points with Seaford but is still out of the five on percentage. Langwarrin had to pull out all stops in the final quarter to get the job done against Pines. In a see-sawing battle all afternoon, Langwarrin’s inaccuracy almost cost them the match. The home side had an additional nine scoring shots, but managed to record just a ninepoint victory. In the last quarter, it appeared

the Pythons were going to cause a boilover, leading by 20 points with 15 minutes to play, but the young Kangas hit back. Exciting youngsters Aaron Shaw and Dale Eames finished with six between them, while Jonathan Hay kicked two goals playing as a key forward. Former Hawthorn player and Sandringham-listed Beau Muston was the difference between the sides in the last quarter, taking some telling marks and kicking two goals. Mark McGill and Jarryd Amalfi continue to prove they are the future of this footy club as leaders, while Mitch GillFurness and Andrew Borrie also continued their fine form. For Pines, Guy Hendry, who has played predominantly as a key defender since making his senior debut, has proven in recent times that he has the ability to become a power forward. He finished with five goals on Saturday. Brendan Neville kicked three and skipper Jimmy Messina two, while Beau Hendry again had an outstanding game in the ruck and is proving that he can excel in the position. Chris Guganovic was at his best for the Pythons, too, and Joel Brunn has been an exceptional player for Pines this season. Shaun Stewart added some footage to his highlight reel with his performance. In the Sunday games, Morn-

ington was superb against Mt Eliza, despite going down by almost 100 points. The Doggies were incredibly undermanned, missing 14 of their best 22 players. Two of its best pulled out on the morning of the game. Mt Eliza welcomed back Michael Lowry from Sandringham and was at full strength. Lourey booted four goals, while Scott Lockwood and Sam Lloyd booted five each. Sam Gill was sensational in defence, and Scott Simpson dominated in the ruck and around the ground. Mornington had a real crack and coach Josh Beard would have been rapt with his team’s effort. Byron Holt and Jackson Calder battled in the ruck, Scott Matthews and Josh McLerie continually put their head over the footy, Tim Johnston lacks nothing in the ticker department and Chris Paxino led his charges from the front. Chelsea staged a great lastquarter comeback to get the valuable points over EdithvaleAspendale. The Gulls trailed for the majority of the afternoon before Sam Carpenter and Fabian Deluca led a revival that saw the Gulls boot five goals to one in the last to win by 14 points. Timmy Mannix and Nick Connellan were fantastic for the Eagles.

Footy Show on Saturday morning that he has warned his umpires to keep an eye out for any behind-the-play or rough play incidents on the run home to the finals. Marshall said it was important his umpires to be aware that there were a number of sides across all divisions that were no longer a chance to play finals. “What we tend to find at this stage of the season is the lower sides play manon-man footy and employ some tactics that are not necessarily in the spirit of the game,” Marshall said. “It is important that we are aware of that as an umpiring group and ensure nothing gets out of hand.”

Bloodied Bulls KARINGAL captain Luke Van Raay stormed into the umpires’ rooms at halftime two weeks ago against EdithvaleAspendale to show the men in yellow the blood streaming from his face. Van Raay got into a scuffle with the Eagles’ Jordan Derbyshire and a clash of heads resulted in Van Raay needing a spell in hospital. It is understood Van Raay was reported for the incident, but the tribunal hearing was held over this week. The Van Raay versus Derbyshire incident was one of many “spot fires” in the Karingal v Edi-Asp game.

Government working hard for the peninsula By Martin Dixon AS your local member of Parliament, I would like to share a few brief examples of the benefits the Coalition government has brought to the Mornington Peninsula since taking office in November 2010. First, the final $67 million upgrade to the Eastern Treatment Plant is an issue I have been promoting for most of my 16-year term in Parliament. The positive impacts for our coastline from this upgrade will now be felt for generations to come. I thank all the local community groups that have worked tirelessly with me to see this great result come to fruition. At the same time, our $14 million upgrade to the Boneo Treatment Plant will enable treatment of effluent as old septic tanks are removed and households are connected to the new sewerage system. The will bring an improvement in the quality of our water systems, resulting in benefits for our environment as well as our quality of life. Law and order, or lack of it in the past, has been the issue brought most often to my office over the past decade. I am very pleased that Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have received additional frontline police in both the 2011 and the 2012 Coalition budgets to help enable police to deal with specific issues facing our Mornington Peninsula. It was also with great pleasure I was able to announce funding for a new satellite fire station at Blairgowrie to improve response times for emergencies. This support of police and emergency services is all part of our commitment to provide a stronger, safer and fairer Victoria. As your local MP, I am very proud to be a part of the Coalition government as we continue to bring real benefits to our beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

Curtains for your winter warmth AT Shades of Australia in Mornington, each new season is accompanied by new fabrics to complement and contrast the season’s elements. The warmth and character added to a room by the use of fabric creates a truly unique statement. New textures and designs in modern colour palettes have ensured a comeback for curtains. Curtains are the ultimate window treatment when it comes to versatility: soft light-filtering

fabrics float breezily, textured blockout fabrics provide warmth, and bold printed patterns create impact. In winter, most of the heat leaves a house through the ceiling and the windows, so curtains are vital when it comes to insulation. A separate block-out lining keeps cold air out and traps air to provide extra insulation, maintaining welcome warmth and saving significant amounts on heating and cooling bills.

Pelmets, when paired with lined curtains, are the ideal choice for saving energy and keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They will assist in obtaining a five-star energy rating for your home. Adding curtains can significantly reduce the amount of unwanted outside noise that you hear inside. The introduction of cloth covering your windows also improves the sound quality within your house.

Suitable for all windows, curtains will enhance any style of home, whether old or new, traditional or modern, and are a practical and beautiful way to finish any room. Shades of Australia in Mornington has friendly staff to assist you in every step of the process choosing new window furnishings. The showroom has a large range of curtain fabrics, blind materials and working samples, all of which help

you to confidently choose the right product for you. Shades is a family business that credits its success to its commitment to the needs of each individual customer. It caters for all window furnishing needs, interior and exterior, and has prices to suit any budget as well as exemplary after-sales service. Shades of Australia is at Shop 8, 1-13 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington, phone 5975 9512.

Bank where the manager owns the branch WHEN was the last time you walked into a bank and actually met the manager? Remember when you knew the names of the tellers and got service with a smile? Can you imagine ringing your bank and getting a real live person on the other end? Adrian Fromhold promises all this and more at his BOQ branch in Mornington, where customers are given his personal mobile phone number and email address. “I own the branch, I manage the branch, I make the decisions and I am there for my customers,” he said. “I have met 99.9 per cent of my customers and I know their names.” After 24 years in the banking sector, Mr Fromhold opened the BOQ branch in Main St last December and ever since has delighted in being able to say, “I own my own bank branch”. “I have a young family and I wanted to give them a good future,” he explained. The branch offers all standard banking services including savings accounts, mortgages, personal and commercial loans, business banking and credit card accounts, and is fully government guaranteed. “The difference between BOQ Mornington and other banks is the personal touch and service we offer. You are not just a number to us – we want to know your name, not your account number,” Mr Fromhold said. Business is growing and many new customers are attracted by the investment Mr Fromhold has in the branch, he said. “The buck stops with me.” BOQ is at Shop 2, 211 Main St, Mornington, phone 5973 2233.
