Rye comes out to play
Plan to succeed: Barry Swayn, Jacqui Salter, Georgie Keach, Miranda Gillespie and Caleb Dawson, 4, of the Rye’s Up! campaign take calls from interested volunteers to fill work rosters for the Rye Community Playground building project. Picture: Yanni
HUNDREDS of volunteers are being marshalled in the final frenzied days of the campaign to build an adventure playground at Rye. More than two years in the planning, the nautical-themed playground will be built by the community over five days beginning Wednesday 24 October. Project coordinator Miranda Gillespie said there was a “last minute panic� to fill the rosters but the mood in Rye was “warm and fuzzy� and excited. “I can’t believe the time to build is actually here,� she said. The Rye’s Up! Community Playground, designed by Leather Associates, a United States company that specialises in communitybuilt playgrounds, will replace the playground on the foreshore near Rye pier. The existing equipment will be removed Friday 19 October and some of it reused at other Mornington Peninsula Shire reserves. The new playground began to take shape more than two years ago when children were asked what their “dream playground� would look like. The nautical theme was adopted to suit the foreshore site.

Extreme fire area grows By Jo Winterbottom A BIGGER part of the southern Mornington Peninsula has been declared an extreme fire danger area for the coming fire season. Large areas of Sorrento and Portsea will be included on the extreme danger map for the first time this year. Blairgowrie and the part of Rye from White Cliffs to Canterbury Jetty Rd will again be classified an extreme risk, as they were last summer. The CFA has called a public meeting
in Sorrento on Saturday 28 October to discuss the extreme danger rating. Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley told a public meeting in Blairgowrie that Victorians had to accept that bushfires were now a threat every summer. “Our research has told us that it may take years before the Victorian community comes to terms with the annual threat of bushfires,� he said. Concerns over a helter-skelter flight to Port Phillip beaches were raised at
the meeting earlier this month. While Mornington Peninsula Shire had designated 12 Neighbourhood Safer Places where residents can marshal as a “last resort� during a bushfire, Mr Lapsley said many residents would wait until the danger was extreme, then head for beaches, causing potentially catastrophic traffic jams and other safety concerns. “We will need to do further work to establish how this [evacuation to beaches] could be done safely,� he

Navy hitches a ride on Blue Marlin By Mike Hast THE heavy lift ship MV Blue Marlin steamed through The Heads into Port Phillip on Wednesday morning carrying the newest vessel of the Royal Australian Navy. The hull of LHD Canberra, the first of the navy’s two new amphibious ships, was built at the renowned naval shipyard in Ferrol in northern Spain by Navantia and launched in February 2011. Canberra is a Landing Helicopter Dock ship and will be fitted out by BAE Systems at Williamstown shipyard before going into service in 2014. The hull of her twin, Adelaide, will arrive in Australia in 2014. They are 230 metres long, 32 metres wide, have a maximum draught of 7.18 metres and replace the navy’s existing amphibious ships, which support land forces. Canberra will be partially “unfastened” over about two days near Geelong on the western side of Port Phillip, floated off when Blue Marlin submerges over about 24 hours in 23 metres in the middle of the bay and then towed by three tugs to Williamstown, where shipping lanes will be closed until Canberra has docked. Carrying Canberra 12,000 nautical miles around the Cape of Good Hope in 45 days was not the heaviest task for Blue Marlin but was a challenge to load and transport as the hull protrudes 55 metres at the aft of Blue Marlin. A new attachment system had to be created. At full load, Canberra and Adelaide will each displace 27,851 tonnes, making them the largest ships to serve in the RAN. Blue Marlin – the world’s largest semi-submersible vessel – can carry up to 76,000 tons, usually oil rigs, and was built in 2000 for Dockwise. It is 224 metres long and 63 metres wide. She will be superseded later this year by Vanguard, a bowless semi-submersible that will carry 110,000 tons.
It’s playtime in Rye town Continued from Page 1 The play equipment is from Seaford company All Play, and Rye hardware store Rattray and Walker is providing other supplies at a discount. Ms Gillespie said the support of southern peninsula businesses and community groups had been tremendous. Volunteers are still being sought for the build, which will take place from Wednesday to Sunday next week. Ms Gillespie said about 100 people would be rostered for each four-hour shift. Building will begin each day at 8am and end about 8pm; meals will be provided and childcare is available. “Headed up by team captains, skilled and unskilled workers will participate in all areas of construction, administration, food provision and childcare, with the team from Leathers overseeing the entire process,” she said. To book a shift, contact Ms Gillespie and her crew on 0422 606 703, ryeplayground@gmail.com, or book on line at www.ryecommunityplayground.com

Sharks getting raw deal: president By Mike Hast SORRENTO Football and Netball Club president Garry Woodhams says the club is getting a raw deal from Mornington Peninsula Shire. He said the club’s request for extensions and improvements to its “antique changing room” had been refused. “The shire has told us the cupboard is bare for the next four to five years, yet it has decided to spend $400,000 to renovate Watsons Pavilion at Percy Cerutty Reserve in Portsea, which is used by far fewer people than the rooms at Sorrento. “Like most clubs within the shire, Sorrento is constantly required to beg for funding for capital works.” He said the club and Sorrento Junior Football Club fielded more than 20 teams involving hundreds of participants each week. Sorrento Cricket Club used the building in summer. “The changing room is in urgent need of extension and renovation, as are the kitchen and canteen.” Training staff could not take injured players inside as a stretcher would not fit through the door. “Players have to be left outside and endure the elements while receiving treatment or, even worse, when waiting for an ambulance,” Mr Woodhams said “From the under-10s up, players have to put up with wind and the rain between game changeovers. It’s just not good enough.” Mr Woodhams, a lawyer, is call-
ing for an urgent enquiry into the allocation by the shire of funding for sport and recreation. His call came just weeks after Sorrento Football Club lifted its third Nepean Division premiership in a row. The Sharks defeated Dromana Tigers by two points in a dramatic grand final, played just a few days after former Sorrento junior player John McCarthy died in Las Vegas during an end of season trip with teammates from his AFL club Port Adelaide. Area councillor Tim Rodgers said Watsons Pavilion renovation had “been on the books for four years”. “It’s about 60 years old, contains asbestos, the roof is rusting and it has no disabled toilets, “ he said. It needed to be brought up to current building standards and to meet the needs of the community. He said Ken Davis, chair of the committee of management of Percy Cerutty Reserve, fully supported the renovation. Last year, shire officers told the council the pavilion was used as a hall “by a range of user groups and as a pavilion for sporting activities”. The pavilion was used by “regional cricket clubs, Portsea Petanque Club, yoga groups, [a] political party and Sorrento Painters Group”. “Casual users include Portsea Surf Club, recreation divers, local residents, Portsea foreshore committee and Rotary. “While these groups use the facility, it is often very limited use (e.g. monthly) and there is a significant
capacity for additional use.” Mr Woodhams said the pavilion was used “twice a month by a limited number of local citizens”. “The citizens quite reasonably asked the shire for ramps to provide access to the pavilion, not for a complete renovation.” “The Sorrento Football and Netball Club has absolutely no issue with the people who use the Percy Cerutty Reserve pavilion – they are part of our tight-knit community – but it does take issue with the allocation of funding in an election year for this major renovation when the facilities at Sorrento are utilised by hundreds of people on a daily basis 365 days of the year and are in urgent need of capital works,” Mr Woodhams said. The renovation contractor was chosen by the council on Monday 17 September, a week before it went into caretaker mode for the coming election. On Wednesday, Cr Rodgers said Sorrento Football Club had met with shire planners but had refused to meet with him. “They’ve received planning permits for some work,” he said. Cr Rodgers said the “Percy Cerutty committee of management had been polite, was prepared to discuss the renovation plan over a number of years and understood the council’s process”. He said the shire had spent about $800,000 at David MacFarlan Reserve over a number of years.

Big night out to raise funds for water safety in Vietnam RYE-based Water Safety Vietnam is holding a fundraising dinner at Rye RSL on Friday 9 November. Highlights will include a three-course dinner, silent auction, raffles, prizes and music by South Coast Swing Band from Rosebud Secondary College. People donating a pair of secondhand, onepiece girls’ bathers in good condition will receive a free raffle ticket. Co-organiser Charles Lyne, a doyen of the Victorian lifesaving movement, said that in Vietnam drowning was the leading cause of death among children aged over 12 months with more than 10 children drowning every day. “Our not-for-profit group first sent water safety people to Vietnam in 2010 to help run existing programs,” he said. “Our aim is to significantly reduce drowning deaths by teaching learn to swim, survival and water safety skills.
“We are now running pilot programs in two provinces in Vietnam with AUSTSWIM qualified Australian instructors assisted by Vietnamese swimming teachers.” Mr Lyne said the RSL had donated its main dining room and was providing meals at cost. “Some RSL members are former Vietnam veterans and are passionate about helping us,” he said. Mr Lyne said the group was pleased to get South Coast Swing Band as members would be in the middle of exams. “They have all agreed to play and donate their time to our cause.” Water Safety Vietnam second annual fundraising dinner, 6.30pm Friday 9 November at Rye RSL, Nelson St. Drinks at bar prices. Cost $45 a person. Book by 26 October with Robyn Lain on 0413 493 893 or email charleslyne@ optusnet.com.au More information about the group is at www. watersafetyvietnam.com
Golden touch for Rye footballer SUPPORTING his club has paid off for Rye footballer Cameron Dunn. Mr Dunn is the winner of the $35,000 first prize in the Rye Football and Netball Club annual raffle. Displaying wisdom beyond his 23 years, he chose to spend the sum on gold bullion, although admitted he had to fight a strong urge to go to the travel agent and book a “massive holiday”. “At 23 years of age it is a great kick start in life to win $35,000 tax-free,” club vice-president Scott Beel said. “With some luck, Cameron will sit back and watch the gold price grow over the next few years.”
Four of five $1000 second prize winners were residents of Rye and Rosebud, with one winner from Melbourne. Mr Irving said the club decided to “go it alone” with this year’s raffle, after its raffle partner of the past 13 years, Hepburn Football Club, pulled out. Tickets sales were capped at 800 at $100 each and 679 tickets were sold nationally, giving the club a welcome boost of almost $28,000. “The club thanks all the people who purchased tickets in the major fundraiser for the year and we look forward to next year again making someone as happy as Cameron.”

Southern Peninsula News 18 October 2012
The $5.1m lemon WHAT were they thinking? On 28 September, at the last meeting before the council went into caretaker mode prior to the council elections, when no major financial decisions can be made, Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy announced the purchase of Rosebud Central Shopping Centre. According to the CEO, the shire had been in negotiations for quite some time. The property has been for sale for many months, there seemed little interest from other prospective buyers and there were current tenants until 2013, so why the sudden urgency to complete the purchase? The purchase coincided with the report that the cost of the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) was likely to blow out even more if developed on the foreshore, thus leaving a substantial amount of egg on the faces of the councillors who had voted for the SPA location in the first place. The decision of councillors to support the purchase of Rosebud Central illustrated that the majority of them would prefer to spend ratepayers’ money to preserve their positions on council, and to save face. The incoming council will now be stuck with this purchase and will have to sort out the poor financial decisions of the former council. Consider that $5 million would have filled every pothole in the shire, provided an extra tip ticket to every ratepayer and possibly would have reduced rates. A similar decision, to build Pelican Pantry and Pool in Hastings, also was announced by Dr Kennedy. Millions of dollars later, ratepayers are still paying for that particular lemon. The electoral review in 2011 delivered an opportunity for residents and ratepayers to elect a council that will have an opportunity to take a much-needed new broom to the corporate corridors of the shire, to sweep away the accumulated detritus and debt of the past decade. There are 43 contenders, several of them young and enthusiastic. If the same old faces reappear, the community will have missed its democratic opportunity for another four years. It is time for a fresh, new council. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West
Devious behaviour I AM appalled at the behaviour of the Mornington Peninsula Shire and wish to bitterly complain. My complaint is in relation to the council’s behaviour associated with the process for the draft Rosebud Activity Centre Urban Design Framework. The shire formally placed the draft framework on public exhibition, held public information sessions and called for submissions, which closed on Tuesday 18 September. A closing time was not specified. I worked over the weekend and on Monday until almost midnight to complete and lodge the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association’s submission. To my surprise, this morning (18 September) I opened the council’s website showing the agenda and reports for next Monday evening’s council meeting (24 September) only to find that the report on the draft framework and recommendations had already been written. This would take at least a day to prepare and
was obviously completed before closing time for submissions. It is plainly obvious there was no intent to give due consideration to submissions. This continues the devious and disgraceful behaviour that has beset the administration of this shire over the past 12 months. State government ministers will be aware of some of the correspondence they have received over this time indicating the less than desirable behaviour of this shire. It is obvious the intent of introducing this item at the 24 September council meeting was to “beat” the caretaker period that came in a month before the council election. Caretaker started on 25 September. The matters outlined in our submission included the Planning Minister’s review of planning zones, the development of the Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement, the Association of Bayside Municipalities’ Coastal Adaptation Decision Pathways Project, and the VicRoads study of the traffic on Point Nepean Rd. Dr Alan Nelsen, secretary, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents Association
Swamped by this logic LET me get this right. Peninsula Hot Springs is the recipient of a $100,000 federal government tourism grant to develop a bird sanctuary and wetland (“Sanctuary plan for hot springs”, The News, 23/8/12), yet just a stone’s throw down the road the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s archaic zoning laws will allow development on part of the Tootgarook Wetland. This is despite the Department of Sustainability and Environment recognising Tootgarook Swamp as a site of state significance. While the shire has finally set the wheels in motion to get part of the wetland recognised by the international Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, it is still allowing development to take place in other parts of the swamp. This just doesn’t make sense. All credit to Peninsula Hot Springs for factoring in wetlands and native revegetation in its next development phase but shame on the shire for allowing development to occur on what little significant, natural wetland we have left. Julia Pickwick, Bittern
Let history, and falcons, be WHAT an excellent article by Keith Platt (“Landslide reveals links to history”, The News, 4/10/12), especially the photo of Jeff Matteson standing atop one of the “mysterious boat sheds” possibly built in the 1920s by people operating a “rough and ready holiday camp” on the Mt Martha headland later used as a municipal quarry. This quarry next to an Aboriginal midden, with its incredible history, will be sold if several council candidates get their stated way. While visiting recently with a few local residents I was privy to the rare sight of a family of peregrine falcons nesting in the quarry. This is a historical coastline site and must be preserved for future generations, not given over to inappropriate development on our fragile coastline.

Historic home closure threat By Jo Winterbottom MORNINGTON Peninsula’s oldest house is in danger of closing unless more volunteers are found to help run the historical property. The National Trust has appealed for assistance to keep McCrae Homestead open to the public. McCrae Homestead manager Sharon Bowen said peninsula residents could “keep alive our pioneer heritage”. “There is an urgent need for more people to assist in guiding visitors, housekeeping and maintenance of the house, visitor centre and gardens,” she said. Volunteers are asked to give two halfdays each month.
Built in 1844 on Arthur’s Seat Run, the largest lease in the fledgling Port Phillip colony, the homestead is Victoria’s oldest original house and the only original pioneer property on the peninsula that is open to the public. The historical value of the property is enhanced by the diaries, journals, music books and paintings left by the homestead’s designer and original resident, Georgiana McCrae. A volunteer information session will be held at McCrae Homestead, 11 Beverley Rd, McCrae, on Saturday 27 October at 1.30pm. Details: 5986 1017.
Life at McCrae in 1800s GEORGIANA Huntley Gordon, daughter of the 5th Duke of Gordon, was already an accomplished artist and welleducated young woman when she married Andrew McCrae, a solicitor of Edinburgh, in 1830. The couple lived in London before deciding to follow Andrew’s mother and brother, who had emigrated to Sydney. In 1839, just three years after Melbourne was founded, Andrew landed in Port Phillip colony. Georgiana and their four children followed the next year and they settled in a small house in Lonsdale St. It could not have been more remote from her well-to-do life in London – in distance, amenity and fashion. Melbourne had no made roads and the few declared thoroughfares were dotted with stumps that, being encountered by carriage wheels, frequently caused passengers to be violently ejected. They were dry and dusty ways in summer, impassable quagmires in winter. There were few permanent buildings, but lots of tents. Social life was very limited, especially for women, and Andrew struggled to make a success of his legal business.

In this environment, Georgiana had two more children and continued painting with distinction, although she was prevented from pursuing it as a career by Andrew’s family, who considered any profession, let along painting, unfit for a lady. McCrae decided to try his hand at farming and in 1844 obtained the lease of Arthur’s Seat Run, 8300 hectares that took in what is now Safety Beach, Dromana, McCrae, Arthurs Seat, Red Hill, Red Hill South and Main Ridge. Georgiana designed the homestead and it was built by Andrew, his sons, their tutor and other men, who lived in timber huts. The principal builder was Henry Tuck who later took up Manton’s lease in Western Port. The property was three days’ journey from Melbourne by horse and wagon or two days by boat. The nearest neighbours were at Cape Schanck and Mt Martha Stores came from Melbourne by sailing vessel and were unloaded on the beach this is now McCrae. Georgiana continued painting, played the piano, entertained visitors when they passed by, planted a garden and orchard,
and generally set to and created a home for her family. She gave birth to two more children while at Arthur’s Seat Run. In 1851, Andrew could no longer afford to operate the lease and the family returned to Melbourne. The house was owned by the Burrell family for 70 years and Arthur’s Seat Run was steadily reduced by subdivision until just 40 hectares were sold off in 1929 after Kate Burrell died. From 1930 to 1950 McCrae Homestead had several owners until Georgiana’s grandson George McCrae purchased the property in 1961 and set about restoring it to be a museum to his grandparents. On his death in 1970, it was sold to the National Trust and opened to the public after being restored as near as possible to its original form. The house is only one of two drop slab timber pioneer dwellings in Victoria and stands just as Georgiana envisaged it. Visitors to McCrae Homestead and Museum in Beverley Rd, McCrae, get a vivid glimpse into the family life of a pioneer past that can scarcely be imagined. The homestead is open from midday to 4pm each weekend.

Fire fuel loads at all-time high
Get ready: Left, Mr Lapsley addresses the fire meeting. Above, an attentive audience at Blairgowrie Yacht Club.
Continued from Page 1 “When people come to the peninsula for holidays they tend not to read newspapers or listen to radio and television; they are in holiday mode and the bushfire message does not reach many people in this group,” he said. Mr Lapsley said high fuel loads in extreme risk areas had been allowed to build over “several decades”. “We have identified the fire danger areas, but it will take a number of years to get this under control,” he said. Murray Homes of Blairgowrie Com-
munity Fire Prevention Action Group called for a plan to decrease fuel loads and reduce the fire classification from “extreme” to “moderate” within three years. The situation on the peninsula was complicated because there were four authorities responsible for different areas – the shire, Parks, VicRoads and the Department of Sustainability and Environment, which includes foreshore management committees. It was further confused by the perceived competing interests of conser-
vationists and fire prevention advocates. He commended a shire fuel reduction scheme in Canterbury Jetty Rd, Blairgowrie, where undergrowth was being cleared from stands of Moonah trees, as “the basis for an agreement between conservation groups and fire prevention advocates”. The meeting called for a firebreak to be cleared between the national park and residential areas in Blairgowrie, Rye and Sorrento.

A COLLECTIVE of artists called Broad is exhibiting work at Rye Wine Lounge from Friday 26 October. Curator and artist Heidi Duell (a candidate in the shire council election this month), said the name was chosen “because it is an anagram of board; the meaning of the word can be either vast or a descriptive word for a sassy woman”. “The medium I have used to display the art is recycled surfboard blanks. I had the idea of surfboards being an art medium while curating an exhibition where artists were invited to display their works on surfboards,” said Ms Duell
(pictured). “All of the artists were excited to use a new medium. One of the surfboard shapers working on the project made a comment that resonated for years, “we are artists too, ya know”. They shape foam into something beautiful that we are able to use to ride the ocean. “The process is to design, shape, mount and glass with resin. They are lightweight and you no longer have to worry about finding a stud to hang a piece. “In the coming launch and exhibition, which is part of ‘Art the Movement’ series held at Rye Wine Lounge on the last Friday of each month, I have
shaped blanks into shapes to mount images by John Holm, an American artist I have long admired. “On a whim I contacted him and he was happy to have his images travel Down Under. Ian Bowers, Scott Mraz and Claire Uto also will have pieces created in many mixed mediums, all based around a coastal and surf culture theme. “The essence of the concept is to be unapologetically diverse, and peninsula musicmakers The Volcaniks, who play 1970s surf instrumentals, and Micky D, playing fat ’70s funk, will enhance the vibe of the launch.”
ELECTION 2012
Tough campaign for two Nepean seats By Mike Hast THE fight for two seats in Nepean Ward has been characterised by intrigue, complaints about signs, latenight phone calls and some good oldfashioned electioneering. Sitting councillors Tim Rodgers (Sorrento area) and Bill Goodrem (Rye) are being challenged by three quality candidates in Bryan Payne, Heidi Duell and Hugh Fraser, with lesser-known Inez Dussuyer, Calum Bennett and James Whelan rounding out the eight-person field. The battle for votes from Sorrento and Portsea residents is essentially a head-to-head tussle between Rodgers and Payne. Cr Rodgers has the advantage of incumbency, having represented the pointy end of the peninsula since 2005 when it was called Point Nepean Ward. Nepean and Rye have been folded into the new two-councillor ward of Nepean with almost 25,000 voters on the roll. Cr Rodgers, one of five so-called progressive councillors on the 200812 council, has had a high profile in recent months due to the bitter division on the council over plans to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) on the foreshore at Rosebud. He is against the foreshore site, although the heat was taken out of the
Bryan Payne
issue late last month when shire CEO announced the council had bought Rosebud Central Shopping Centre and an adjacent site occupied by a dry cleaner for almost $6 million. Shire officers are now looking at the inland site for SPA, a matter to be determined by the new council. Cr Rodgers also has faced pressure over the destruction of Portsea Beach, although it is a state government matter and the shire has spent money that many people say should have come out of government coffers. Bryan Payne, a chartered accountant, lives in Portsea and has a high profile in Sorrento due to involvement with Sorrento Sports Club; the RSL; David MacFarlan Reserve committee; the football, cricket and bowling clubs; Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club; and the chamber of commerce. Mr Payne also had a career as a local government CEO before starting an accountancy business. He is a serious challenger to Cr Rodgers and has the tacit backing of Liberal Party members. An email seen by The News from a senior branch figure gives tacit support to Mr Payne and encourages members to vote for him ahead of Cr Rodgers, all without naming names. The email hints that incumbency is not “necessarily of value where there
Heidi Duell
is a need for a fresh approach” and “the qualifications and broad experience that candidates hold is an essential element to ensuring sound fiscal and management practices”. This is an obvious reference to Mr Payne’s accounting skills. Not all Liberals agree with the email, feeling uncomfortable with the grey area of the Liberal Party and its support of people at council elections. The Victorian branch does not endorse candidates but branches can offer support. Up the line in Rye, four candidates vying for votes – Cr Goodrem, a council veteran elected in 1997 who turns 80 this year but whose sharpness belies his age, and Heidi Duell, Inez Dussuyer and Hugh Fraser. Ms Duell has a good chance of claiming the seat due to an effective and multi-faceted campaign. She is a 43-year-old mother of two with a background as a disability support worker in the first part of her working career. She moved into retail management on the peninsula after the birth of her first child 14 years ago, running four Balin surf shops on the southern peninsula. She has a high profile on the southern peninsula and has used her Facebook page to good effect, reaching younger voters as well as the growing online
community of all ages. Environmentalists know Ms Duell from Clean Ocean Foundation where she ran the federal government-funded Green Corps program. Recent activities include co-organising a Festival for Healthy Living, an innovative mental health promotion strategy run by the Royal Children’s Hospital integrated mental health program, and lobbying the shire to retain That Purple Place in Rye as a community centre. Ms Duell says she will work full time if elected. She has given her second preferences to Tim Rodgers. Hugh Fraser is a barrister who has practised commercial and property law since 1981 and was elected to the Legal Services Board for a four-year term 2007-10. He has scaled back legal work and is spending more time at his Rye home. Mr Fraser said his motivation for standing was an appalling planning decision that affected a neighbour and dismay over recent rate rises. “Our rates have gone up an average of 12 per cent for the past four years,” he said. He is disappointed the shire introduced a 20 per cent levy on vacant land in peninsula townships and said it forces people to develop their properties.
Bill Goodrem
Mr Fraser said he has always had an interest in politics, in particular the dynamics of the shire council’s relationship with state government as well as its ratepayers He has given his second preferences to Bill Goodrem: “He has been an excellent representative for Rye.” Mr Fraser said he had not spoken to all Nepean Ward candidates before setting his preferences.

Early birds hoping to snap up winning fish
Fast response: After-Care has bought a vehicle to take mobility impaired and wheelchair-bound clients to appointments due to difficulties in getting taxis.
Taxi shortage leads to do-it-yourself ROSEBUD-based After-Care Australasia has bought a vehicle to take its less able clients to appointments because the service has difficulties getting taxis. Managing director Shane Kelly said mobility impaired and wheelchairbound clients were “constantly frustrated with the amount of time they had to wait for taxis to take them anywhere”. The compact van with big side windows has been dubbed “The Godfather”, named after the man who sold it to After-Care. “The Godfather is the husband of
one of our clients. He is known in the peninsula care community as a legend for the way he looked after his wife,” Mr Kelly said. The vehicle is taking clients to doctors and specialist appointments, rehabilitation sessions, on outings, shopping, and visits to friends and family. “It gives our clients peace of mind that they have this level of support and independence,” Mr Kelly said. “We care for more than 500 people in the region and the van is kept pretty busy.” After-Care, which won the growth
and development award at last year’s Melbourne South East Business Awards, is an independent, familyowned and operated in-home care business on the peninsula. It supports people who want to remain living in their own homes, and offers services such as personal care, respite and socialisation, transport, domestic assistance, and home maintenance and gardening. Directors Shane and Maxine Kelly started the company in a spare room in their Rye home in 1999 and now have an office in Rosebud and employ 80 carers.
By Jo Winterbottom THE early bird will catch the big fish in the annual Tea Tree Snapper Fishing Competition next month. Anglers hopeful of winning the title of Victorian Amateur Snapper Champion can start fishing from 5am on Friday 2 November and final weigh-in is at Mornington Racecourse at 2pm on Saturday 3 November. The annual competition hosted by Snapper Point Angling Club, now in its 29th year, is billed as “the competition for the serious Port Phillip and Western Port fisherman” and last year attracted 2100 people in 845 boats. Last year’s winner, Mark Sullivan of Tyabb, got an early start to hook his 10.5kg “big red” about 8am. As in previous years, the heaviest fish was caught in Western Port. Fisheries officers will be out and about at boat ramps and popular fishing spots during the competition to ensure competitors are fishing within the rules. The bag limit for snapper is 10 fish at least 28cm long, only three of which may be sized 40cm or larger. Recreational anglers may not sell the fish they catch. For the sixth year, the Tea Tree competition will have a rule that snapper must be at least 40cm to be accepted for weigh in. John Beasy of Snapper Point Angling Club said the minimum size was designed to decrease the overall number of fish taken during the tournament. He said discarded fish found floating
in the bays had been a problem in past tournaments, but he dismissed suggestions for a catch-and-release competition, saying it was “not viable”. Very few anglers knew how to safely release live snapper, he said. November is when the best snapper catches are usually made in Port Phillip and Western Port, as adult fish enter the bays in large numbers to spawn. Catches of large snapper usually tail off at the end of summer but good catches were maintained throughout the winter just finished. However, fisheries researchers of the Department of Primary Industries have warned we could be coming to the end of a few years of bumper catches. A DPI snapper fishery forecast based on the number of baby snapper that settle in Port Phillip each year predicts smaller catches in coming seasons. “The forecast for snapper fishing in Port Phillip is for the recent exceptional catches to moderate over the next three years,” the report reads. It said snapper spawned in Port Phillip were the mainstay of Victoria’s western snapper stock, which extends from Wilson’s Promontory to about the Murray River mouth in SA. More than $120,000 of prizes is up for grabs in the Tea Tree competition. Winner of the heaviest fish also wins a wooden trophy carved by Mornington boatbuilder Peter Adcock. Entry is $60, or $30 for juniors. Forms are at tackle shops or online at www.teatreesnapper.org.au

Never ending story: Right, Part of the peninsula’s green wedge looking south from Mt Eliza. Picture: Yanni. Above, Alan Hunt at the opening of his MP son Greg Hunt’s campaign office at Rosebud in the run-up to the 2007 election. Picture courtesy Greg Hunt
Hamer the green wedge visionary By Mike Hast THE architect of Melbourne’s green wedges, former Liberal premier Dick Hamer, was a man of great vision and incisive foresight. So says the man who helped Mr Hamer formalise the green wedges in the 1970s, retired upper house Liberal MP Alan Hunt, who represented South Eastern Province 1961-92. Mr Hunt was talking to The News two days before his 85th birthday about recent proposals announced by Planning Minister Matthew Guy to allow more development and previously banned uses in Melbourne’s 12 green wedges including the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston green wedges. “Dick Hamer was a man of great abilities and great vision, and we owe a lot to him. His vision [for the green wedges] still guides planning,” Mr Hunt said. Mr Hamer was Minister for Planning when in May 1966 he brought the proposal for green wedge zones to his colleagues in the Liberal state government led by long-time Premier Henry Bolte.
The modern concept of green wedges had been formulated in the United Kingdom with a 1944 proposal to set aside green belts around urban areas of Greater London. It greatly influenced government policymakers and urban planners in Australia. Mr Hunt said the Hamer vision and the view of Alan Croxford, then head of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, “came into collision”. The MMBW was a powerful government agency responsible for Melbourne’s water supply, sewerage, sewage treatment, town planning, management of parks, and maintenance of highways and bridges. “The minister’s view prevailed, although it took more than 12 months and the tension between opposing views lasted for some time,” Mr Hunt said. In 1967 the MMBW produced a report, The Future Growth of Melbourne, which encapsulated the Hamer vision. It was the blueprint for what we know today as green wedge zones. “Fingers of growth” had developed along rail lines and major roads, and in between

was farmland, parks and forests. By 1968, the government had adopted green wedges as policy and by 1971 their protection was part of planning laws. The government’s planning policy included separate statements to protect greater Melbourne as well as later versions for the Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley, Macedon and the Mornington Peninsula, Mr Hunt said. Three of the five green wedge planning policies were introduced when Mr Hunt was Planning Minister, serving under Henry Bolte and then Dick Hamer when he replaced Bolte as state premier in 1972. Mr Hamer had held the planning portfolio for nearly a decade. In 1982 when Labor, led by John Cain, defeated the Liberals, cracks started to appear in the green wedges. The Cain government allowed Aspendale Gardens to be built in the South East green wedge. In 1989 Mr Hunt led a group of MPs who toppled Jeff Kennett as Opposition leader, replacing him with Alan Brown. Kennett made a comeback and led

the Liberals to victory at the 1992 state election. Mr Hunt’s position in the Liberal Party became untenable and he retired after more than 30 years in the Parliament, but continued to serve in various public roles. He maintained his interest in the green wedges and in April 2003 wrote an article in The Age that broadly supported the Melbourne 2030 planning strategy that fixed the green wedge boundaries. In an article headed “World’s most liveable city no accident”, he wrote about the genesis of Melbourne’s green wedges and detailed how the Cain Labor government, the Kennett Liberal government and the Bracks Labor government all had allowed major housing developments in the green wedges. He called for bipartisan support of planning, arguing that major changes to planning rules must “survive the vagaries of elections”. “If [planning] direction is changed at all, it should be done gradually, and only through a full process of public consultation,” he wrote.
“Sudden changes are the enemy of certainty and the antithesis of sound planning. “That is why political bipartisanship in planning is so important.” Mr Hunt made similar points in a submission to a parliamentary committee on public land and the protection of green wedges in 2007, this time calling for a special levy on all properties to support a lower rate for all farmers owning land in green wedges. He argued that all Melburnians benefited from green wedges, but farmers were not receiving sufficient support. When Mr Hunt spoke to The News at his home on the peninsula, he refused to criticise Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s proposals to allow more development in green wedges, staying loyal to the political party of his long life, but by praising Dick Hamer the message was clear – the green breaks that have stopped Melbourne becoming like a Los Angeles or a Sydney (which once had substantial green wedges; all now suburbs) were created by a man with vision and it takes vision to retain them.

NEWS DESK In Brief Charges over bashing A SECOND man has been charged over the bashing of a man in Mornington last month. A 23-year-old man from Mornington was charged with assault and drug trafficking offences in relation to the alleged attack in which Mical Jones, 28, sustained serious head injuries. He will appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today (Thursday). Kyle Pollard, 22, has also been charged in connection with the alleged attack. He fronted Frankston Magistrates’ Court last week and on Monday after he was arrested at his Frankston home around 6am on Tuesday 9 October. He was charged with intention to cause serious injury and other assault-related charges and was remanded in custody to appear at a committal hearing in January. Detective Senior Sergeant Rohan Brock of Mornington crime investigation unit said police would argue Pollard was the “main offender” in the alleged bashing. Mr Jones, a house painter of Rosebud, had been on a night out at venues in Main St, Mornington, and had left The Bay Hotel alone when it closed at 3.30am. He was discovered unconscious and lying next to a rubbish bin by passersby about 20 minutes later in Empire St Mall, a short walk from the hotel. He remains unconscious and in a critical condition in The Alfred hospital.
Flasher warning ROSEBUD police have warned beachgoers to be alert after reports of a flasher at McCrae. Detective Senior Constable Andrew Hodgson of Rosebud crime investigation unit said two young women were walking on the beach near the yacht club when a man emerged from between boatsheds and deliberately exposed himself. He was described as aged in his mid30s, of thin build and Caucasian descent with dark, collar-length wavy hair. He was wearing a red peaked cap and a singlet. Anyone with information can contact Rosebud police, phone 5986 0444.
Sun activity makes awesome auroras By Mike Hast LONG, cold nights perched behind a camera on a Flinders beach have paid off spectacularly for Seaford photographer Steven Kuiter. Mr Kuiter, 31, captured images of the Southern Aurora, also known as Aurora Australis, on Monday night last week and the results are causing a stir on the internet, where he and his photography mates try to outdo each other with their experimental photos. The former Patterson River secondary student, who says he failed photography because he was “no good at the written side”, may have bragging rights for many days. Mr Kuiter has spent many nights at Flinders this year seeking to capture the elusive aurora in a year where the Sun has been producing powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Auroras are created when energetic charged particles from the Sun collide with the Earth’s the high altitude atmosphere. Next year will be even more spectacular when the Sun reaches the peak output of an 11-year cycle. People are surprised when shown photos of the Southern Aurora, Mr Kuiter says. “I didn’t know you could capture auroras from Australia; I thought you had to go to Antarctica,” is a common reaction. Most associate images of auroras with the northern hemisphere, where far more people live closer to the North Pole in countries like Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia and Canada. Mr Kuiter receives text alerts about expected CMEs and heads down to Flinders, the best location in the region for night sky photography. It’s dark because of few street and house lights, and the beach beside the golf course faces due south to Bass Strait. Last week he arrived at a spot near West Head at about 9pm and the picture on the page was taken about 10. The skywatchers stayed till 3am. Mr Kuiter said he and his friends have thought about jumping on a plane to Tasmania “but there’s no guarantee of the aurora making an appearance”.
Seaford photographer Steven Kuiter captured this image of the Southern Aurora at 10pm from a beach at Flinders on Monday night last week. It is not digitally enhanced. Inset picture: Nikki Griffin
“You could spend many weeks in a place like Finland and not see the Northern Aurora,” he said, although going to northern Europe is an ambition. Mr Kuiter also photographs wildlife and it’s not hard to understand why – his father Rudi Kuiter is a renowned underwater photographer and his mother Alison Kuiter is well known for her images of terrestrial nature. Her work has featured in The News in the past two years as well as in other newspapers, magazines and calendars. Mother and son had photos of ducks on promotional material for an
Australia Post series of bird stamps earlier this year. Mr Kuiter took photos of Leadbeater’s possum in disputed logging areas in central Victoria this year, sometimes standing or sitting for hours to catch the rare and elusive animal, the state’s threatened faunal emblem. The same patience, determination
and technical skill is needed to capture a possum as the Southern Aurora. For the technical, Mr Kuiter used small format Nikon cameras – a D300s and D7000 – 35mm and 1116mm lenses, and 30 second exposures. He shoots long exposures on cloudless nights to get the star trail effect.

Dog ban could protect endangered species By Jo Winterbottom DOGS may be banned from Mornington Peninsula National Park, bringing it into line with nearly all other national parks in Australia. Parks Victoria is seeking community feedback before deciding whether to ban dogs from the park, which covers the beaches and foreshore from Portsea to Bushrangers Bay and inland along Main Creek to Greens Bush at Main Ridge. Chief ranger Libby Jude said there had been “numerous reports of dog attacks and threats to local wildlife”. “There are 32 fauna species listed as endangered, vulnerable or near threatened living in the Mornington Peninsula National Park and we need to protect them,” she said. Rye birdwatcher Malcolm Brown said the ban was long overdue. “It should have happened 20 years ago; dogs should never have been allowed in the first place,” he said. “Giving the public a say is ridiculous, they [Parks] should just follow the National Parks Act and ban dogs altogether. The clear objectives of the Act are that native flora and fauna are protected in national parks.” He said incompetence in the department had allowed the national park to fail that objective on several counts, particularly with regard to the endangered hooded plover. “It is the worst park in the state for protection of the hooded plover,” Mr Brown said.
The small bird breeds on ocean beaches between August and March and is considered “vulnerable” in Victoria where the total population is about 550 birds. Of these, about 70 breed on Mornington Peninsula ocean beaches. According to community group Friends of the Hooded Plover, which monitors bird numbers, of 137 eggs laid on peninsula beaches last season, only 27 hatched and just three chicks survived to adulthood – a failure rate of 98 per cent. Grainne Maguire of Birdlife Australia said dogs allowed off-leash on national park beaches were a significant threat to the bird. “Dogs tip the balance in an area that’s already under stress; Mornington Peninsula National Park is one of the most sensitive areas in Australia for the hooded plover,” she said. She supported a ban on dogs because other efforts had failed. About 97 per cent of people taking dogs into the park allowed them to roam off-leash. “All our education efforts have drawn a blank,” she said, a point reiterated by Parks. “The evidence shows that despite ongoing efforts by rangers to educate dog walkers and enforce the regulations, there continues to be very high levels of non-compliance with the 9am limit and on-leash rules” Ms Jude said. At present, dogs are permitted on a leash between sunrise and 9am daily in much of the park, except Greens Bush and the coastal area
around Cape Schanck and Bushrangers Bay. Hooded plovers nest in sand dunes and feed at the water’s edge. Their nests can be upset by people and dogs, the chicks and eggs are eaten by dogs and the tiny chicks, which are flightless until five weeks old, are vulnerable to stress and disturbances. As their eggs and chicks perish, nesting pairs will keep breeding in an effort to produce viable offspring. Producing an average of three eggs each time, a female can lay up to 20 eggs a season and still have nothing to show at the end of it. Ms Jude said options for Mornington Peninsula National Park included a seasonal ban for the whole park, restricting dogs to certain sites and adjacent beach areas, a seasonal ban in selected areas or a total ban for the whole park. Other species under threat from dogs included the white-footed dunnart and the long-nosed bandicoot. “There have also been recorded cases of wallabies being chased by dogs in the park, which in one instance resulted in the wallaby falling from a cliff and drowning,” she said. Any change of regulations will unlikely benefit hooded plovers embarking on another fruitless nesting season. Submissions close on Friday 30 November, so a decision is unlikely before the end of the year. For more information go to www. parks.vic.gov.au or phone 131 963.

Port Phillip five-year clean-up plan By Jo Winterbottom THE state government has released a five-year plan to clean up Port Phillip and the Yarra River. The plan gives Port Phillip a tick for good health, but says “we still have work to do�. Port Phillip “baykeeper� Neil Blake of Port Phillip Ecocentre welcomed the plan, saying it was pleasing to see various government bodies and organisations working together. He singled out one of the plan’s four key priorities – support for community action – as a way of involving more people in care of Port Phillip. “It’s pleasing to see there is going to be encouragement for people to get involved and be active in community groups,� he said. “The bay is still there and it will continue to serve us well as long as we give it some TLC.� The plan includes $20 million for Communities for Nature grants to “encourage environmental citizenship�. The other “key priorities� include clearer and more responsive management, preventing pollution and reducing litter, and providing accessible information about water health. Management responsibilities have been streamlined so that the Department of Sustainability and Environment will ultimately have responsibility for Port Phillip, with Melbourne

Water the peak body for the Yarra. The Environment Protection Authority will manage assessment and reporting of water quality problems. Flinders federal MP and Opposition environment spokesman Greg Hunt applauded plans for better and more open water quality monitoring.
“This will make it easier for communities to access water quality data, become better informed and therefore better motivated to protect the bay,� he said. He would like to see Port Phillip and its catchment area the “cleanest urban waterway in the southern hemisphere�.
The report predicts increasing pressure on waterways from extreme weather events, which are forecast to increase as a result of climate change. “Recent heavy rain highlights how extreme weather events can degrade water quality and affect the amenity of the Yarra and bay,� it says. It cited a large algal bloom that formed in Port Phillip in January caused by hot weather followed by heavy rain. “The bloom was associated with poor water quality and fish deaths. “Large bloom events can stress aquatic animals by reducing the available oxygen in the water, clogging gills or producing toxins. “In January, the dead algae washed up on several beach [on] the Mornington Peninsula, affecting the use of beaches for swimming and other recreational pursuits.� The plan will target “pollution hotspots� throughout the catchment area and offers tips for simple actions to reduce contaminants ending up in Port Phillip. The report states that marine pollution, habitat destruction and international aquarium trade are the biggest threats to the weedy seadragon, Victoria’s marine faunal emblem, which is a popular find for divers. The plan can be viewed at www.dse. vic.gov.au
Snapshot of Port Phillip Area: 1950 square km. Coastline: 264 km. Name: Named after the first Governor of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip. Ports: Port of Melbourne is Australia’s busiest port, supporting 15,000 jobs and $82 billion annual imports and exports. Home to: More than 1000 species of marine plants and animals including dolphins, penguins and the weedy seadragon. Industries: Commercial fishing and aquaculture industries totalling $10 million a year are dependent on the bay’s clean water. Recreation: Coastal parks and beaches, boating, swimming, fishing and diving. From the report A Cleaner River and Port Phillip Bay.
OPINION
Jiggery-pokery emerges in council poll “THE rats are out to play!� breathed Mrs Emu in the conspiratorial tone she reserves for portentous announcements. Emu pretends to look concerned, awaiting a clue as to what the heck his spouse is talking about. “They’re deserting sinking ships, but they may not be sinking at all. They might actually be joining other sinking ships,� she goes on excitedly. Since this is as much sense as the blushing bride can muster in times of extremis, Emu deepens the furrow of concern in his brow and waits. News on the Port of Hastings, perhaps? Trouble among Sorrento’s couta boat aficionados? They play it tough, those nautical lads and lasses. “Some of the candidates for election to council who promised to give their preferences to certain other candidates are now giving them to ...� Mrs Emu appears to have got herself in a grammatical bind “... even different other candidates.� She looks relieved to have emerged relatively intact from this semantic mangle. “They have ratted,� she says. “Candidates who promised they’d support one candidate are now supporting a different one. There’s trouble brewing!� she concludes darkly. Mrs Emu is a political tyro, as readers have probably surmised. Ratting is as old as politics itself – many a stiletto has been slipped under many a fifth rib by ratters. It must, however, be taken in one’s stride. The old rule – that the less significant the election, the more vicious the politicking – generally holds true. Emu reflects on the
copious bloodletting that occurred at kindergarten committee meetings. It’s not duelling at dawn yet, but the campaign for seats around the Mornington Peninsula Shire council table is warming up. So far incidents have been reported in Briars and Red Hill wards.
Squeaking of which... STRANGE happenings are occurring STRANGE elsewhere in this grubby game, Emu hears. One candidate has had a visit from the law (shire building inspector) regarding a building converted to a new use without the appropriate paperwork and – more importantly – without a fee being paid. Another has had a complaint laid over a minor matter of air quality. And there’s a major conflict-ofinterest matter pending. In such incidents, it is fair to assume the rats are squeaking. Expect rodent activity to intensify over coming weeks.
Website ‘cleansed’ STRANGE things also have STRANGE happened on the shire website since the election campaign began. It appears to have been cleansed of material that might favour or disadvantage the 10 councillors who are standing for re-election (Reade Smith has pulled the pin and is not standing in Hastings-based Cerberus Ward). A visitor to the website would, for example, not have an inkling that controversy had been raging over a swimming centre in Rosebud. But a few things have escaped the censor’s gimlet eye. Under the heading “Kangerong Ward� readers learn that the ward is occupied by “Mayor Councillor (Graham) Pittock.
Contact details: Phone/Fax: 5987 1365 for Mayoral appointments�. This might come as a surprise to Cr Pittock, who ceased to be mayor nearly a year ago. But then, Emu is keenly aware the pace can be agreeably slow on the peninsula, even under the messianic leadership of our much-decorated CEO, Michael Kennedy. It’s not too late to get the facts right before Kangerong Ward disappears into history as part of the new, bigger Briars Ward. But then, after nearly a year, what’s the rush? The website entry for Red Hill Ward – with its spectacular coastline, rolling green hills, restorative vineyards, surf and swimming beaches, and picturesque villages – is similarly quaint. Overwhelmed by this natural beauty, shire wordsmiths found an attraction even more worthy of a visit – a small and undistinguished group of shops in Red Hill South. Locals irritated at the unending camera-clicking hordes from Asia, Europe and the US descending on their pretty hamlet after Uluru and before the Sydney Harbour Bridge now know who to blame.
Marseillaise a lot around the house, nearly in tune. Of course, councillors (except the shy and retiring Reade Smith) are busy with other things. “But surely those who compiled the year’s meetings were aware when the poll would be held?� she continued.

Meeting cancelled BEFORE Mrs Emu leaves the BEFORE website, and the shire, she has a final conundrum – cancellation of the 8 October council meeting “as there are no items listed�, according to CEO Michael Kennedy in a public notice. “No items listed?� she snorted. “They probably forgot it was a meeting night. But then, they had already cancelled question time to stop rats exploiting it for election purposes, so why not just close down the people’s parliament, too?� Mrs Emu is reading a history of the French Revolution. She hums La
The public notice on the cancelled meeting was posted about lunchtime on Wednesday 3 October. Until then the shire website merely told visitors that “There are no scheduled council meetings for weeks commencing 1 and 8 October 2012�. Yes there were, Dr Kennedy and staff. Yes there were.

FEATURE PROPERTY
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Lifestyles of the rich and famous IMMENSE in every detail, this truly opulent home conjures up images of massive Beverly Hills estates where the famous come out to play. For the fortunate ones, that lifestyle is right here on the Mornington Peninsula with this grand property set on about 3000-square metres. The house alone measures a staggering 465–square metres and whether upstairs or down you are assured of luxury. There are three large bedrooms - one could serve as a guest bedroom complete with an ensuite - and a separate study, all at ground level. The feature sun-room has impressive concertina doors that open up to become part of the expansive rear entertaining area, which has a built-in spa. Like a scene from Cleopatra, you could lounge on a day bed as the palm fronds sway in the sea breeze. There is also a main bathroom and laundry. Sweeping views of the coastline and Port Phillip can be had from the timber deck that runs along most of the second storey. The magnificent open-plan area would rival many homes in terms of its size. Soaring ceilings accentuating the sense of space. Timber beams and a sandstone wall are two focal points that define the different parts of the room. The kitchen has an island bench with hotplates and a large rangehood. There is a stainless-steel dishwasher and a large recessed space for a double-door refrigerator. The master bedroom would perhaps best be described as open-plan also. Where most bedrooms have a separate ensuite and walk-in robe, here they are incorporated into the space. In one corner is a frameless glass shower and a few steps from the bed is a stunning claw foot bath on a gleaming tile base. Different yes, but a distinct characteristic for a home that offers something decidedly different.

John Kennedy Real Estate looks forward to the next ten years SINCE first opening his doors back in October 2002, John Kennedy has continued to trade by one simple rule when it comes to real estate - provide honest advice with no pressure. It’s a rule that has kept John in good stead for more than 30 years since he embarked on a career in real estate in 1988 with Roger Short & Co. Over that time John has kept up to date with the latest trends in real estate. “The most significant change for me has been the use of the internet and mobile phones,” he said. “Previously people would walk in cold and as an agent we would be able to establish a much more personal relationship with the client. Today’s home buyers are so much more informed and have often done their research and are interested in one particular home and the chance we have as agents to show multiple properties to a prospective purchaser is reduced.” John continues to be active in the Rye community. He is a life member of the Rye Football Club and serves on the board of the Light-up Autism Foundation. John has lived in Rye since 1973 and has raised a family and now adores doting on his four grand children. John Kennedy Real Estate is located at 2327 Point Nepean Road, Rye.

SPECIALISING in custom furniture design, this long-established business has an extensive, nationwide database of clients.

TRADING for only three years, this popular cafe still presents in as-new condition with a faultless fitout. Takings are about $8000 per week – with average coffee sales of 13 kilograms a week – resulting in declared net profit of $100,000 per annum. Enjoying a busy shopping centre location, the cafe is adjacent to a bus stop and taxi rank. This is an exciting opportunity to buy an already established business in a great location.

Lew pool demolition By Mike Hast THE last chapter in the Solomon Lew pool saga played out on Monday when contractors started demolishing the $400,000 horizon pool built on Crown land at Mt Eliza. Workers from Templestowe-based demolition firm DEC moved a heavy-duty concrete saw, small excavator and other equipment onto the property in Osprey Ave. The pool was built without a planning permit and in secret on public foreshore land next to the Lew family holiday property above Moondah Beach. It caused a huge ruckus when discovered by authorities after workers were heard bragging in a bar about building a pool that neighbours thought was a water tank. Mornington Peninsula Shire ordered the pool be demolished and remediation of the land on which the pool, a retaining wall, fence and landscaping had been placed. Then followed months of controversy as lawyers acting for Mr Lew, a billionaire clothing retailer, tried first to buy the public land and then lease it. Mornington MP David Morris lobbied strongly for no sale of the land. The shire closed part of Moondah Beach over fears the land would subside when cracks were
discovered in the retaining wall. Last December an agreement was reached with the shire before the case went to Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Authorities became aware of the pool in a secluded part of the foreshore in May 2011. The pool was emptied last August and covered to prevent its use while the council investigated the stability of the site and conducted negotiations with representatives from Lew family company Shuttlehall regarding the safe removal of the pool. The Osprey Ave property, believed to be worth more than $2.5 million, is used as a holiday retreat by Jacqueline Lew and also has an indoor pool. On Monday, The News sought comment from Mt Eliza councillor Leigh Eustace. Cr Eustace said he had not “been officially informed by council of the works being undertaken” but knew they were pending. “This is a good result for the protection of Crown land owned by the people of Victoria and the pool removal and restoration of the land being at no cost to Mornington Peninsula ratepayers.”
In the bag: L’Oreal employees rugged up to help clean the coast between Flinders and Somers.
Beauty and the beach A CURIOUS alliance formed to clean up Flinders beaches has been proclaimed an unqualified success. Thousands of pieces of marine debris were collected from coastal sites on a wild and windy Friday when more than 200 employees of L’Oreal cosmetic group joined forces with Australian Navy officers, Parks Victoria rangers, volunteers from foreshore committees and the Surfrider Foundation. They donated a day’s work on clean-up and weeding and planting projects at sites along the shore from Flinders to Somers and were rewarded with lunch at Flinders Golf Club.

Southern Peninsula News 18 October 2012
Hosting the busy crew was Surfrider Foundation chairman Rex Campbell, who said the cleanup brought to 50,000 the number of pieces of marine debris collected by the foundation in the past three years. “For 20 years Surfrider has been active in removing marine debris, which is a major threat to marine life that mistakes it for food,” he said. He applauded the L’Oreal “citizen day” initiative: “This is an excellent model for other companies to follow and we invite them to follow L’Oreal’s lead and work with Surfrider Foundation.”

Understanding leaky gut syndrome of leaky gut-induced allergies. Some, such as parasites, inflame the gut lining; others, such as enzyme deficiency, disrupt the pH balance, preventing the proper breakdown of food. The common causes of leaky gut and digestive dysfunction are: INTESTINAL DYBIOSIS This is an imblance of bacteria in the digestive tract. There are more than 400 species of bacteria living in the human body and the majority live in the digestive tract; some are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and essential to health, while others can cause disease. CANDIDA OVERGROWTH - This can trigger allergic reactions. THE LIVER - Under normal conditions, the liver traps about 99 per cent of the bacteria that has escaped from the intestines. MEDICATIONS - Certain drugs, such as antacids, steroid medications and oral contraceptives are alkalising and can upset the balance of acid in the gut, impairing digestive function.

ALCOHOL - The health risks of excessive consumption of alcohol are well-known, but even moderate alcohol consumption can increase your chances of developing allergies. According to Dr James Braly, medical director of Immuno Laboratories, alcohol reduces the secretion of hydrochloric acid, a vital component of the digestive system. PARASITES - Parasites tend to reside in the intestines where they can cause extensive damage. Rarely, they also migrate to the blood, lymph, heart, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, eyes, and brain. While in place, they can produce numerous symptoms in addition to allergies: constipation, diarrhoea, wind, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, joint and muscle aches, anaemia, skin problems, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, and gradual immune dysfunction. Leaky Gut is a phenomena that is important to understand, to find out what can be done to help normalise gut health and to seek help naturally.

By Lyndy Saltmarsh THE digestive tract is a delicate and elaborate system that is put under a lot of pressure in the modern lifestyle. Food intolerances, allergies, constipation, wind and bloating can be clues that something is not quite right. They can all be signs of leaky gut syndrome. In a health gut, the small intestine acts as a barrier stopping poorly digested food from entering the bloodstream. But when there is an inflammation in the lining of the intestine it can become excessively permeable, allowing food molecules to enter the bloodstream. When this happens, the immune system treats these foreign substances as antigens, setting off an allergic response. If the reaction is too strong and immune factors accumulate, the kidneys and liver can not get rid of them. The immune factors can then settle in soft tissues, causing inflammation and compounding stress on the immune system. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vicious circle leading to more allergies. There are many instigators
CURVES womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness club will waive joining fees during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Curves on the Bay in Rosebud, a member of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness franchise, is joining with Curves clubs throughout Australia to help raise funds for vital womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer research, prevention and support services during Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. Curves clubs have been fundraising for Cancer Council Australia for the past six years and have raised more than $1.3 million through the Cancer Council Curves fund. The fund contributes to Cancer Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer research, prevention program and support services for Australians affected by cancer. One of these services is Breast Cancer Connect, where a newly diagnosed patient is paired with a volunteer cancer survivor to ease them through their cancer journey. This year, Curves clubs across Australia are striving to meet the goal of $1.5 million through a series of events and initiatives throughout October, including hosting Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Night In parties and selling Pink Ribbon Day merchandise at all outlets. According to Glenda of Curves Rosebud the club will waive its standard joining fee of $149

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
For those about to Rocktober By Stuart McCullough WE made it. Despite everything, we have managed to endure 11 long, tedious months. I’ll be honest and say, at times, I wondered whether we’d ever finally get here. But we have. Thank goodness. I have long believed there are 11 months of the year that do little more than take up space on the calendar. When all is said and done, there’s only one month that truly matters. You can keep February. I care little for May and July and can take or leave March and June. They are trivial, meaningless months. The only month truly indispensible is Rocktober. Not everybody appreciates Rocktober. In fact, there are some folks who still insist on calling it by its former Gregorian calendar name of October. These resisters probably still use imperial currency and ride a horse to work. Such backward-looking zipper dodgers might be able to raise a barn in a day, but they know precious little about rock ’n’ roll. It’s their loss. For the rest of us, Rocktober heralds 31 glorious days in which ordinary folk are entitled to live out their rock star fantasies in all their glory. For starters, I intend to wear leather trousers pretty much continuously. This may raise a few eyebrows at work and will likely result in some serious chafing issues when I go jogging, but that’s the kind of sacrifice the rock lifestyle demands. I will wear them even though pants made of leather best suit a person of a certain physical type. It’s a cold, hard reality that leather trousers should only be worn
by someone who is either very slender or who is a cow. But if you’re not a bovine, then you definitely need to be quite thin. Rock stars who wear leather are often described as “snake-hipped”. Sadly, I could only claim to be snake hipped if the snake in question was a python that had just swallowed a heifer. But I won’t let that hold me back. This month, the ordinary rules can be thrown out the window. But there’s more to Rocktober than wearing leather. This month, I will not answer the telephone with a mere “hello”, but with a hearty “check one, two – testing, testing”. More than that, every time I have a meeting, I’ll begin by trying to get the participants to clap in unison. Once the meeting is adjourned, I will return after a minute or two for an encore. Even if everybody
else has left the room, I’ll still come back, talk for another 10 minutes before standing up, tipping over a chair, raising my fist and leaving again. For this month and this month alone, I do not have shopping lists. Instead, I have riders. Granted, my needs are modest. My rider will consist of milk, bread and orange juice as well as more traditional demands such as the removal of all the brown M&Ms and a fur-lined sink. I will wear sunglasses at all hours, even to the movies, and each time I sign my name – whether on a cheque or a passport application – I’ll include the words “Thanks for listening – keep on rocking” before my signature. But Rocktober isn’t just about personal indulgence. It’s also a chance to make the world a better place.
Rye RSL Club
Disputes and grievances will not be settled by way of an address to the United Nations or by acts of war. Instead, world leaders will be required to resolve their differences by way of duelling guitar solos. Who wouldn’t support our bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council if, instead of boring everyone rigid with some turgid speech, our representatives produced a Stratocaster, planted a foot on the foldback monitor and cut loose with an almighty solo? Luxembourg, as splendid as I’m sure it is, is not a rock ’n’ roll nation. Try naming one decent rock musician from Luxembourg. Exactly. (If you answered “Serge Tonnar and the Legotrip” I’d have to say, technically speaking, he’s more a folk artist. Sorry.)
It is no accident that the third country vying for United Nations glory knows a thing or two about kicking out the jams. Finland is a very rock ’n’ roll nation. Without doubt, they’ve planned their campaign with Rocktober firmly in mind. I’ll simply say that we ignore them at our peril. It would be a shame to lose out on such a prestigious gig simply because our competitors were willing to break out a double kick drum and we weren’t. Enjoy this month while it lasts. And even if I am well past my rock ’n’ roll prime – as anyone who has seen me try to board a tram in my leather trousers will surely attest – it’s not too late for me. This month I will start a band. It will be loud and it will be guitar driven. Perhaps I’ll use AC/DC as my template. Better still, maybe I’ll form my own AC/DC tribute band. The only problem is that some of their lyrics are a little smutty. It might be unbecoming. But, then again, this is a month where anything is possible. I could easily tidy up the words to make them more politically correct or, if you prefer, “PC”. In fact, I think I’ll call my band PC/DC. Whole Lotta Rosie will now be Real and Healthy Sized Rosie. Highway to Hell will be recast as an ode to physical fitness and rechristened Highway to Health. It will be fantastic. Now excuse me while I turn my amplifier to 11 and plug in the Les Paul. It’s time for some rocking. Happy Rocktober to you all. www.stuartmccullough.com

Showcase gardens celebrate native display CRANBOURNE Botanical Gardens will host two days of free events this weekend to celebrate the completion of its Australian Garden. The opening of the second stage of the garden is the culmination of more than 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; planning, construction and planting and sees the garden double in size to 15 hectares. It includes 170,000 plants of more than 850 different species and a lakeside area for community entertainment and events. Among the new sections are a river walk, Gondwana garden, eucalypt walk and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;weird and wonderful gardenâ&#x20AC;?. There will be guided tours of the Australian Garden throughout the weekend, as well as a gardening expo, native plant sale, live music and dancing. Saturday is gardenersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day, with gardening workshops and advice from experts. Sunday is family day, complete with fairies, face painting, treasure hunt and bush dancing. Royal Botanic Gardens director Philip Moors said the idea for the Australian Garden began as a dream to create a large-scale botanic garden that reflects the essence of Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Australian Garden is all about being immersed in the landscapes of Australia and being amazed by the colour and diversity of the plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have always seen the Australian Garden as a fantastic opportunity to inspire visitors with ideas about how they could develop their own gardens as well as giving interstate and international visitors a uniquely Australian experience.â&#x20AC;?

Southern Peninsula News 18 October 2012
Performance ONE of my best memories as a young entertainment writer was attending the first Kiss media conference in Sydney in 1980. I was a dedicated Black Sabbath fan and was overwhelmed at how humble these rockers were. I talked with Gene and Paul, and scored a Kiss token and a Kiss jacket. I went to the concert at Waverley Park in November 1980 courtesy of the promoter. Tickets cost $14 for unreserved seats. My wife of 10 months, Deborah, caught the eye of Ace Frehley who quickly pointed his finger in her direction with a glee; mind you some years before Deborah had Angus Young on his knees playing to her feet in a small crowd at the Sandown Park Hotel. I am often reminded of what could have been; wife of a rock star. It is amazing to see that two Jewish kids, Stanley Eisen (Paul Stanley) and Eugene Klein (Gene Simmons) would still be performing members of one of the greatest rock’n’roll bands 40 years later. Stanley and Simmons (pictured) were talented in their own right; Stanley had a background in marketing and advertising, and Simmons had a degree in journalism and was an editorial assistant for Vogue as well as a keen collector of Marvel Comics. After advertising in the rock mag Rolling Stone for a drummer and guitarist, Kiss was born and played their first gig at Coventry in Queens, New York, on 30 January 1974. Kiss became a concert attraction, the music became almost secondary. They were a strange phenomenon for without airplay Kiss albums Alive, Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, and Dynasty went gold or even platinum. By the late Seventies the most important part of the Kiss empire was merchandising, selling up to $100,000 worth at each concert. Destroyer remains one of the best rock albums produced and the latest Kiss offering, Monster (Universal),
By Gary Turner
their 20th studio album, is the closest to Destroyer; no keyboards, orchestra or outside songwriters, just fullthrottle guitars and drums. Monster has 12 tracks and collaborations from all four members, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. The album’s first single, the rocker Hell or Hallelujah, is an example of the old Kiss, outlining the group’s long-held “take no prisoners philosophy”. Drummer Singer impresses with vocals on All for the Love of Rock and Roll. Tommy Thayer does lead vocals on Outta This World, my favourite track and impressive harmonies on this track. Gene Simmons’s haunting vocals can be heard on Back to the Stone Age and the signature Kiss sound of old is heard on Take Me Down with a thumping bass guitar and drums – rock’n’roll heaven.
A team effort on vocals has given the album some impressive harmonies evident on Eat Your Heart Out. Paul Stanley produced the album and enlisted Greg Collins as coproducer. Collins has worked with Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gwen Stefani, U2, System of a Down, Meiko, Matchbox Twenty and Meatloaf. The strong pop hooks and perfect sounding production of Monster may not appeal to die-hard heavy metal fans, but it isn’t heavy metal, it’s pop-metal, and arguably the best popmetal ever recorded. Melbourne promoter Andrew McManus is in discussions with Kiss Management and Kiss is expected to tour early 2013. www.kissonline.com www. mcmanusentertainment.com *** GEORGE Michael has cancelled his
2012 Australian tour. “I have today announced the cancellation of the shows in Australia which breaks my heart,” he said in a press release. “By way of explanation all I can say at this time is that since last year’s illness I have tried in vain to work my way through the trauma that the doctors who saved my life warned me I would experience. “They recommended complete rest and the type of post-traumatic counselling that is available in cases like mine but I’m afraid I believed (wrongly) that making music and getting out there to perform for the audiences that bring me such joy would be therapy enough in itself. “Unfortunately I seriously underestimated how difficult this year would be and although I was
American filmmaker and the “Behead the infidels” rubbish is so far over the top that such actions put our freedom at risk. Thankfully they come from Sydney. We are all guilty of compromising our sense of right and wrong, but this is ridiculous. Politicians are required to support many things they don’t agree with in the name of their future and prosperity, which equates to lying, obviously. Julia lies, Tony lies, as indeed we do. The problem is their lies have the effect (if you let it) of reverberating through our lives. The next time somebody says to you “You lied to me” simply answer “So we’re even”. I can never be accused of “lying through my teeth” other than seven; the rest are in a cup in my bathroom. *** ACCORDING to The Senior News there are 90,000 over 50s on Newstart with little hope of getting a job and receiving $133 a week less than the old age pension. Take away 10 per cent who would no doubt earn income but not declare it and this leaves about 80,000 people doing it tough. Time for an increase, Julia. A parliamentary inquiry has recommended creating new roles: a Minister for Older People and a Commissioner for Older People. Funny ha ha. An extra dollar in the kick and the elimination of
discrimination or simply building bigger castles? Time will tell. *** LOOKING forward to 25 October when handsome Teddy apologises for the pain and suffering of mothers and children due to the dreadful forced adoption practices from the 1950s to the ’70s. Only took a 40 years for politicians et al to wake up to the obvious. 250.000 babies. Sad, bad. *** ON 13 December Luna Park will be 100 years old as will the scenic railway. Later additions included the Giggle Palace, Big Dipper, photobooth (the moon), dodgem cars, Ghost Train, Rotor and my teen favourite, the river caves. I asked a female to ride with me through the river caves once and amazingly she agreed. A pretty girl, tubby; didn’t ask her name. Kissed her all the way not knowing what to talk about anyway (who do you barrack for?). I was with a mate, so I thanked her and rejoined my mate. She was nice, tasty. I was an idiot. In 1949 I had a shilling each way on Foxami in the Melbourne Cup, compliments of my darling Auntie Mill. Collected 22 shillings, rode the Big Dipper 20 times; don’t recall thanking Auntie. Mad memories. *** ON 5 October I undertook the long
trek to Rye RSL for dinner and Exiles: A Tribute to The Rolling Stones for $45. The two-course dinner was fine but The Pebbles fell well short of my expectations. Thankfully I won a meat tray to offset the cost, albeit complete with a suggestion that I spend most of my time under the doona thinking of things to say. Hmmm. Perhaps the burlesque night next January is more my scene, assuming it’s not all male. *** EXPECT the five councillors who voted against the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore to be up and about right up to 6pm on 26 October, the day votes are due at the VEC for the shire council elections. They lost the vote 6-5 and refused to accept this democratic vote. Then followed a stream of letters from “the usual suspects” to our free newspapers. I’ve received emails from one candidate (not a sitting councillor) headed “Realising transparency, accountability and democracy”, aka hypocrisy unlimited. I’m not for or against the pool, but I don’t like bad losers. *** RANDOM thoughts: Frankston Liberal MP Geoff Shaw is a fascination or a slippery customer, who knows?
right to believe that the shows would bring me great happiness and that my voice would recover completely (I truly think that some of my recent performances have been my best ever), I was wrong to think I could work my way through the major anxiety that has plagued me since I left Austria last December. “All that’s left for me to do is apologise to my wonderful Australian fan base and to promise faithfully that as soon as I complete these shows here in the UK I will receive the treatment that is so long overdue.” *** ELTON John performs at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 18 November. Tickets from 132 849. www. eltonjohn.com Norah Jones performs at The Plenary on Thursday 21 February. Tickets 136 100. www.norajones.com The concert for Darryl Cotton will be held at the Palais Theatre on 23 October featuring Brian Cadd, Daryl Braithwaite, Ronnie Burns, Jim Keays, Debra Byrne and more. Tickets 136 100. Glenn Frey and the Melbourne Pops Orchestra perform at the Palais Theatre on 22 February. Tickets 136 100. *** ROD Stewart will release his first-ever Christmas album, Merry Christmas Baby, on 9 November featuring a special duet with Ella Fitzgerald. John Travolta and Olivia NewtonJohn will reunite for the first time in 30 years for the Christmas album This Christmas.
A Grain of Salt THE Buddhist theory of patience and tolerance is interesting. I’ve always been like a good fighter – verbally, definitely not physically – and being impatient and getting more than a little annoyed is something I did well early in life. In terms of creativity, it takes passion to become a successful artist; a successful anything. Anger, impatience and the other “negative” emotions are not wrong in themselves; your anger blows over and is forgotten minutes later, but others don’t forget, so we learn to keep our extreme emotions inside. The problem? If you eliminate all the negative emotions, you inevitably must eliminate all emotions and the more you succumb, the more it becomes entrenched. Passion is part of the human experience and denying passion is taking a pass on being human. If you are wondering why artists are wrapped a little tightly it could be because they are feeling the passion and letting it drive their work. Enthusiasm, self-belief, persistence and passion. The next time you want to cry or explode give it a shot. Buddha will understand. *** FREEDOM of speech is a wonderful thing. The Muslims protesting in Sydney because of a whacko
By Cliff Ellen Planning Minister Matthew Guy talks the talk of 38-year-old. Suspicious, but being of fair mind, let’s pop him into the “wait and see” blue basket; but not for too long. Pokies precommitment legislation no more? You betcha. Car parking at Melbourne Airport delivers 93 cents in the dollar profit to shareholders; Buckley’s chance of a rail link. I’d be lost without my landline; how else would I locate my mobile phone? I wonder why they stopped making cream puffs? “A writer or an artist is a storyteller, but, if any good, also a myth-maker. The goal you should strive for is a mythic goal. You take reality, anchor it in the facts and raise it to a level of myth.” Elia Kazan Take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila... Byee. cliffie9@bigpond.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.
Somie rolls Carrum as Seaford and Parkers fight for supremacy DISTRICT By IT Gully DESPITE rain affecting a lot of cricket on Saturday, there were five matches in MPCA District grade. At the conclusion of day one of the second round match between Carrum and Somerville, the Lions have a lot of work to do to get the 12 points. Winning the toss and batting first, Carrum was dismissed for 152 in 74 overs. If not for 82 from Dean Polson, the Carrum scorecard would have looked a lot worse. Aaron Kaddatz has started the season in fine fashion for Somerville and claimed the dangerous Josh Dent early in the innings. Kaddatz struck eight runs later when he picked up the prized wicket of Shawn Foster, caught behind by Craig Black for just seven. Polson then took to the Eagles’ bowlers before being removed with the score on 121. The Lions then lost four wickets for three runs, giving the Eagles the upper hand. Cory Foster offered resistance late in the Carrum innings with 23.
Kaddatz finished with four wickets, and Sam Delaney and Russell Wilkes picked up a couple each. Seaford set Delacombe Park 200 for victory after scoring 199 in 74.1 overs on Saturday. Considering the match is being played at Delacombe, combined with the fact the Parkers are potent with the bat, 199 might not be enough. Teenager Damien Lawrence was once again the shining light with the bat for Seaford, scoring 51, while Chris Cleef at the top of the innings scored a valuable 45. Reeling a little at 6/135, skipper Nathan Volpe (35) worked with Andy McMannis (18) to push the total close to 200. Steve Anderson was the pick of the Parkers’ bowlers with 4/31 from 22 overs, and Varun Singh claimed 2/45 from 17. Pines has given Frankston YCW a mountain of work to do. In fact, the Piners will be looking for an outright win. Pines batted first and compiled 250 in 62 overs. Harley Peace-Stirling top-scored with 71, Brett Hudgson made 55 and Harley Parker opened with
41, while skipper Ricky Ramsdale scored 35. In reply, the Stonecats are in trouble at 3/19. Nick Wilcox took 2/3. Langwarrin appears to be on top in its match against Main Ridge at Lloyd Park. The Ridge won the toss and elected to bat, but was in some early trouble at 2/28. Gareth Wyatt was the star of the show with the bat for the visitors, scoring 90. Only two other players scored double figures. Main Ridge was bowled out in the 52nd over for 148. Dwayne Doig was the pick of the bowlers for the Kangas, claiming 5/56 from 22 overs, and Andy Johnson and Mal Coutts each claimed two wickets. In reply, the home side is 1/39, Simon McEvoy unbeaten on 22. Boneo will be hoping to build on its sensational day one against Baden Powell. Winning the toss and sending the visitors in to bat, the ploy paid off as the Braves were bowled out for 102 in the 40th over. In reply, Boneo is in command at 1/52 after 25 overs.
Hoppers face outright embarrassment SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully IT’S been a tough couple of years for Dromana Cricket Club and things didn’t improve on Saturday against Rosebud. The Hoppers have been subject to a number of outright defeats in recent seasons and they are staring down the barrel of another one in MPCA Sub-district cricket. At Rosebud’s Olympic Park, the visitors won the toss and chose to bat. Just 36 overs later, Dromana was all out for just 55. Not one Dromana player made it to double figures. The highest score was nine from Andrew Thomson. There were 41 runs made off the bat. Extras contributed 14 to the total, including eight byes. Jason Nagel mauled the opposition, snaring 7/17 from 18 overs, including eight maidens, while Scott Millar also bowled 18 overs and picked up 3/25. In reply, Rosebud was 1/34 before rain stopped play. Darren Kerr is not out on 24. Carrum Downs’ batsmen were thanking their bowlers for their efforts with the bat after a horror afternoon in the middle against Seaford Tigers. Strangely enough, the Cougars were celebrating at the end of the day. The Cougars were 4/9 and 7/32 before the tail began to offer some resistance. They
PAGE 46
finished on 59 after Chamara Perera made 15 and Tim Aydin 12. Cory Hand picked up four wickets for the Tigers. Seaford was then bowled out for 77, Perera snaring 5/20 off 17 overs. Starting 22 runs behind on day two, Carrum Downs will be hoping for a reverse outright this weekend on the second day of the clash. Tootgarook had a day out with the ball against the competition’s newcomers French Island. The Islanders, who have been playing in A1, had the bye in round one and received a hostile reception at Truemans Rd in Rosebud West on Saturday. The home side won the toss and elected to bowl. Inside 25 overs, the Tooters were batting after bowling out French Island for 44 in 24 overs. Dale Stephens and Paul Stevenson picked up five wickets each. Tootgarook will be looking for an outright win. The team batted for 48 overs for a return of 2/156. Luke Thompson is not out 67 and you would reckon skipper Scott Didcock will allow him to go for triple figures before declaring and putting the Islanders back in. The matches between Balnarring and Tyabb and Red Hill and Skye were washed out and they will play one-day matches this Saturday.

King of knocking over castles’ 8/37 PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO appears to be in the box seat heading into day two of Provincial cricket this Saturday against Long Island, thanks to a sizzling performance from opening bowler “AJ” King on day one. King bowled a blistering spell of 22 overs, which included nine maidens. He finished the afternoon with 8/37. Both finalists last season, the Sharks made light work of the Islanders’ batting order, dismissing them for just 125 in 55 overs. There is little question Long Island’s batting line-up looks brittle without Michael Burke, who is enjoying some time off before resuming some time before Christmas. Paul Hartle was forced to open the batting on Saturday and while he top scored for the Islanders with 48, it left the middle order looking vulnerable. Justin Bridgeman (21) and Joel Stevenson (26) had an impact but no other Long Island bat scored more than 10.
The afternoon belonged to the Sorrento bowlers, led by King. Anthony Blackwell rolled the arm over for 13 overs and was rewarded with figures of 2/34. Keeper Rob Dunball snared four catches. In reply, the Sharks are cruising at 0/39, having faced the last 20 overs of the day. Jedd Flack remains at the crease, unbeaten on 14, while Nick Jewell is not out 22. A wonderful century from Mornington keeper Rob Hearn has given his side some chance of victory against the benchmark of the competition, Baxter. With just another three players scoring double figures, Hearn almost single-handedly helped the Doggies to 195 in 68.3 overs. Brodie Symons was the next best for Mornington with 16. Hearn hit 13 boundaries in his total of 124 when opening the innings for the Dogs. Skipper Luke Popov went for a duck. The star of the show for Baxter was youngster Sam Wolsgrove, who snared 6/52 from 19 overs. Mark Uccello claimed 2/46 from 14.3 and Adrian Mack was eco-
nomical as usual, bowling 19 overs for a return of 1/30. In reply, the reigning champions are 0/31 after six overs, Shane McComb unbeaten on 20. Heatherhill will need to be at its best with the ball, defending 171 this week against Crib Point. The Hills won the toss and elected to bat at Crib Point Rec Reserve, keeper-batsman Dean Shaw getting his side away to a flier with 59. A number of players in the middle order got starts, but were able to go on with it. Teenager Kristian Miller made 23, John Hille 20 and Christian Heath 21, and skipper Matty Meagher made 18. Member of the “Kelly Gang” Glenn Barclay was in a destructive mood, taking 8/37 from 23.2 overs. Brad Davidson was the other wicket-taker for the Pies, bowling 25 overs and snaring 2/67. All other matches in Provincial were washed out and the teams will play one-dayers this weekend.

Two years ago Americain won the Melbourne Cup and last year’s winner was Dunaden, with both coming from the Chantilly training venue about an hour’s drive from Paris. Then on Saturday Shahwardi, who like Americain is prepared by Alain de Royer-Depre, won the Herbert Power Handicap at Caulfield. Now Americain and Dunaden, who is in the stables of Mikel Delzangles, are shaping as the two horses to beat in the $2.5 million Caulfield Cup on Saturday. An imposing individual, Americain has had five starts in Victoria under de Royer-Dupre’s care for four wins and a luckless fourth in last year’s Melbourne Cup (3200m). He demonstrated shorter distance are not a problem by winning the Geelong Cup (2400m) and the Moonee Valley Cup (2500m), so is shaping as the horse to beat. This is not to underrate Dunaden, a stayer of the highest class. Six weeks after winning last year’s Melbourne Cup he won the prestigious Hong Kong Cup (2400m) at Sha Tin and his subsequent form in England has been outstanding. Shahwardi showed he is benefiting from de Royer-Dupre’s magic when he stormed home from last to first to win the Herbert Power Handicap on Saturday. Initially prepared by de Royer-Dupre, the seven-year-old was transferred to the stable of English-based Australian Jeremy Gask before returning to the Frenchman’s stable earlier this year.

Although Saturday was his first win in three years, Shahwardi showed he was on the way back by finishing a pleasing third in the Group 2 Prix Kergorlay (3000m) at Deauville in July. Another French cup aspirant, Brigantin, also has come through the Prix Kergorlay. Trained by the “little general” Andre Fabre at Chantilly, Brigantin finished second to the globetrotting Joshua Tree (who won the Canadian International on Monday morning Australian time) and a long neck ahead of Shahwardi. Interestingly both Americain and Dunaden contested the Prix Kergorlay on their way to Melbourne. Cranbourne trainer Michael Kent’s sights would have risen as a result Shahwardi’s triumphant performance at Caulfield. Tac de Boistron, a new-
comer to his stable, defeated Shahwardi in the Group 2 Maurice de Nieull over 2800 metres at Longchamp in July. A winner of five of his 26 starts, Tac de Boistron has progressed this year and Kent is confident he will be competitive in the Melbourne Cup. Former Test cricketer and television commentator Simon O’Donnell can expect to pick up prizemoney with imported Gatewood over the coming weeks. Sent out favourite in the Herbert Power, Gatewood was travelling like a winner before being shuffled to last approaching the home turn. He didn’t receive a clear passage after this and virtually cantered home in seventh place. Even though well beaten, he indicated he would be a force in any race.
Leading trainer Mark Kavanagh has won a Melbourne Cup and a Cox Plate, but Sunday’s victory in the $200,000 Cranbourne Cup gave him as much satisfaction as any of his other achievements. Kavanagh was chuffed because he had brought Midnight Martini back from injury “She was on her way to the Melbourne Cup when she suffered a serious back injury on Derby Day last year,” Kavanagh said. “There was a time I doubted she would race again but we put a lot of work into her and now she is right, we just have to keep her ticking along. “We’re pretty pleased with what we’ve done and the win is a credit to everyone connected to the stable.” With Midnight Martini on the come-
back trail, Kavanagh will aim her at the Group 2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on 10 November. Although Boom ‘n’ Zoom failed in his attempt to win back-to-back Cranbourne Cups, local trainer Ken Keys was pleased with the performance. Keys said Boom ‘n’ Zoom, who finished seventh in the race, was excused by his jockey Glen Boss: “Glen told me they went too slowly for Boom ‘n’ Zoom to put himself in the finish,” Keys said. The gelding was still coming home when the race was virtually over. Keys said he is looking forward to Boom ‘n’ Zoom’s next race – the 2400m Bendigo Cup on 31 October. Moe trainer Allison Bennett is looking to bigger races following New York’s victory in a restricted handicap at Cranbourne. “He has been slow to develop and mature,” Bennett said of the five-yearold. “Because of this we have taken him along quietly but the way he won suggests to me he is ready to tackle the Country Cup at Flemington on Oaks Day.” International form expert Peter Ellis provides weekly racing tips online at the Tatts website.

Fishing as lumpy as spring weather ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro YES, it’s spring and this means the weather is all over the place. One day it’s fine and 28 degrees and the next it’s windy, raining and 13 degrees. Welcome to southern Victoria! Weather forecasts should be checked regularly as they can change with little or no notice. All anglers should have Melbourne’s 128km radar and one of the many wind indicating and forecasting links bookmarked on their smart phones. At the first hint of bad weather, anglers should pack up and head back to the safety of the ramp. Both Port Phillip and Western Port are capable of going from perfectly calm to dangerously rough. It’s always better to wish you were on the water than wishing you weren’t. In the past week, fishing has been just like the weather. Great catches one day followed by not much the next. This is due to the weather and the water temperature. As the climate moves from winter to spring and then from spring to summer, all this will change. The only sure thing at the moment is you will only catch fish if your lines are in the water. Where they’re biting Snapper Matthew Hunt of Matthew Hunt Fishing Services (0419 760 510) reports the snapper are a little inconsistent, yet for those willing to put in the time and effort, good results are achievable. He recommends fishing 12-16 metres off Mt Eliza when its rough, 18-21 metres out from Carrum and Mornington
when it’s calm and off Williamstown after the rain. He said pilchards have outfished all other baits by about 10:1. He said as the water temperature rises, the snapper are only going to get better and will be going nuts by Melbourne Cup weekend. Snapper ranging from pinkies to 3kg have been caught from both Black Rock and Mornington’s mussel farm. At Schnapper Point Boat Hire we have seen a few fish to 5kg. Best results have been at the mussel farm and also in 19 metres in front of Mornington pier. In Western Port some good catches are getting boated at Lysaghts and in front of Watsons Inlet. Eagle and Crawfish rocks also are worth a try. For those fishing off piers, some great reds to 7kg have been caught at Mornington, Mordialloc and Stony Point; the best results are when it’s rough and windy. Squid The inkers continued to be consistent in southern Port Phillip with some up to 2.5kg being boated, while at times they have been hard to find. However, once anglers locate them, some very good results are being achieved. Many anglers fishing Portsea have travelled up as far as Rye to escape the crowds. Further up the bay, toward Mornington and Frankston, the fishing continues to be very slow. In Western Port good squid to 3kg have been caught from Stony Point to Quail Bank. For both bays size 3.0 jigs have been doing the damage. For those fishing the piers, Sorrento, Portsea and
Flathead Some large catches of flatties have been boated from Schnapper Point and Yaringa boat hires. They have been a good staple when the snapper have failed to bite, with most fishos at least going home with a feed. Best baits have been squid and blue bait, and best results are in 6-12 metres of water. Yaringa Harbour Jonny of Yaringa Boat Hire reports Tyabb Bank is producing leatherjacket, squid, grass whiting and King George whiting while the mouth of Watsons Inlet is seeing snapper and few gummy sharks. Best baits have been mussels on the banks, and pilchards and squid in the deeper water. Tip of the week Always fish with the lightest sinker the conditions will allow. This will give the bait a more natural presentation and hence help you catch more fish. Tight lines and calm seas. How’s that: Kosta Linardos caught this lovely snapper last week while on a fishing charter with Matthew Hunt.
Blairgowrie have been the best in Port Phillip while it’s Stony Point, Flinders and Warneet for the best results in Western Port. Whiting Southern Port Phillip from Rye to St Leonards has been seeing the best results, however some nice whiting are also getting caught off Sunnyside in Mt Eliza and Mills Beach in Mornington. Best results are on pippies, squid and mussels.
In Western Port the whiting are just like the water temperature and are starting to warm up. The best locations are Watsons Inlet and Quail Bank. Best baits have been pippies and mussels. Gummy sharks Some nice gummies are being caught on the change of tide off Rye in Port Phillip and from Eagle Rock in Western Port. Best baits have been fresh salmon and squid fished on a running sinker rig.
Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He was introduced to the sport by his father. Tracker has boat hire businesses in Mornington and at Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for several magazines and now brings his knowledge to MP News Group papers for season 2012-13.
