The point of environmental studies POINT Nepean became a focus for environmental education when 225 students from nine schools shared their knowledge with teachers and classmates. Looking at locally relevant environmental issues such as climate change, water, waste, conservation, energy, drought, population and pollution was all part of last month’s Australia Post Kids Teaching Kids Week at Point Nepean National Park. Schools represented were Boneo Primary School, Derinya Primary School, Mt Eliza Secondary College, Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Primary School, Penbank School, Sorrento Primary School, St Macartan’s Catholic Primary School and The Peninsula School. Their students participated in workshops and activities covering peninsula environmental issues such as the aquatic environment, plastic in the oceans, biodiversity, recycling and renewable energy. “The world our kids are growing up in is changing rapidly. With the boom in alternative energy and the increasing impacts of global climate change, it is absolutely vital that they are engaged today to understand the world they’ll be living in tomorrow,� Kids Teaching Kids Founder and managing director Arron Wood said.

police. Operations “Be Warned� and “Back Roads� were foreshadowed by the peninsula’s top cop, Inspector Martin Tynan, following the release of the latest statistics, which showed increases in crime, including on the roads. He said a major effort would be made to reduce deaths on the area’s roads.

Groups join to fight green law changes VICTORIAN National Parks Association and the Environment Defenders Office have joined forces with four peninsula environment groups to run a seminar on the threat to environment laws. “Defending environmental laws: protecting the places you love” is from 5.30-7pm on Thursday 20 September at Rosebud Library, 25 McDowell Street. The Environment Defenders Office says the seminar is to brief community groups and individuals about a “broadscale attack on environmental laws”. “Under pressure from big business and the mining industry, federal and state governments have recently announced a plan to wind back essential environmental protection laws,” the EDO said. “In the guise of cutting ‘green tape’, government and industry propose to hand important federal approval powers under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 to the states and fast-track approvals for large developments, as well as remove energy efficiency and climate change schemes in each state. “The threats have very real implications for land, water, wildlife and climate change in Victoria. As it stands, there is no proposal to consult the community, and the changes are being pushed through by the governments as ‘urgent’ reforms.
Under threat: Green groups believe the environment will be threatened by weakened protection laws.
“EDO and VNPA will run a series of seminars across the state to help people understand the broad-scale attacks on environmental laws, and how community members can respond and be heard on the issues.” Come along and learn what you or your group can do to help the campaign to defend our environmental laws.

Peninsula finish for summer tour THE winner of the next Herald Sun Tour bike race could be decided on the slopes of Arthurs Seat. The final stage of the tour will be 86 kilometres Cape Schanck to Arthurs Seat on Sunday 6 January. The tour, normally held in October, has been moved to four days in January. Individual time trials will be held at Williamstown on Thursday 3 January with the first stage of Melbourne to Bendigo on Friday 4 January, followed by Mitchelton Winery to Healesville on the Saturday and then the third stage – Cape Schank to Arthurs Seat. The ride up Arthurs Seat has been made popular following the annual Bay2Bay ride, which has
been allocated $75,000 and “in-kind support� over three years by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The ride, for which riders paid $99-$59 to participate, this year raised $6500 for the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria. The new date for the Herald Sun Tour caters for “changes in the global cycling calendar�. Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty said the move would “provide an opportunity for more Victorians to be inspired by the competing cyclists and also to enjoy the race during their summer holidays�. “The tour provides us with the ultimate opportunity to showcase some of the state’s most impressive attributes, including regional and coastal areas.�
By Mike Hast FRIENDS of Tootgarook Wetland Reserves is trying to stop development of a subdivision at 85 Elizabeth Ave, Rosebud West, on the edge of the wetland. Owners of the land and Mornington Peninsula Shire were served with legal documents late last month as work filling the land restarted after water had been pumped into Chinamans Creek from a large hole. Moreheads Lawyers of Portsea is acting for the Friends and is seeking an enforcement order in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to restrain further work on the site, where it is planned to build 41 houses, an access road and a reserve beside the creek. A spokesman for Moreheads said it was likely an expedited hearing would be held at the VCAT. The legal move comes as contractors this week increased the speed of filling, adding B-double trucks to single tippers, which are carrying fill from a property off Boneo Rd in Boneo. Moreheads will allege in the VCAT that the original 2007 permit for the subdivision had lapsed and the shire did not have the authority to extend and amend the permit. The 85 Elizabeth Ave property and its development permit was sold in January for $3.1 million to a company called TJBP Pty Ltd, with two of its directors living in Warranwood and Coldstream. Friends’ spokesman Cameron Brown alleges the filling was also contravening conditions set by the VCAT when it first issued a permit, including how the fill was being placed and other environmental controls. He claimed endangered swamp skinks had been killed during the earthworks and the state listed bird species Lewins rail had been forced from its habitat. The filling of 85 Elizabeth Ave raised bigger

questions about how the wetland was being treated, he said. “There are three areas in the wetland that were zoned as residential many years ago and should not have been. “Filling the wetland will not protect neighbouring residents from flooding. It will deflect flood waters onto other properties.â€? He said the Chinamans Creek flooding strategy created in 1997 was now out of date and needed to be revised. The shire’s director of sustainable environment, Stephen Chapple, could not be contacted by The News, but last week wrote to Mr Brown stating the council had discretion to “consider amendments to a planning permit ‌ issued at the direction of [the] VCAT where it is considered that the amendments do not change the development for which the planning permit was grantedâ€?. Mr Chapple stated the changes to the staging of the subdivision was [sic] minor “and generally in accordance with the endorsed plansâ€?. The fuss over the filling of the land comes after the council on 27 August voted to push for Tootgarook Wetlands to be listed as a Ramsar site in accordance with the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Ramsar sites throughout the world protect the habitat of migratory birds. Mr Brown said the wetlands were a lifeboat for fauna and flora. “About 130 bird species have been recorded in the wetlands, 13 reptilian species including nine amphibious frog species, and 12 mammals including five kinds of bats,â€? he said. “The swamp also is home to at least nine endangered plant communities.â€? The Friends group has a petition to protect the wetlands. It has 1600 signatures. The petition is at www.communityrun.org/p/Tootgarookswamp

Gruesome tale of Batavia captured in tapestry By Vivien Durant WHO says Australian history is boring? Discussion about the national school history curriculum has prompted debate about whether Australian history is interesting and engaging for students. In the wreck of the Batavia, peninsula artist Melinda Piesse has found a fascinating piece of Australian history. The ship belonging to the Dutch East India Company was shipwrecked off the coast of Western Australia during its maiden voyage in 1629. What happened on the voyage and in the months after the shipwreck is a story that could come straight from Pirates of the Caribbean: a mutinous skipper, a heretical junior merchant, betrayal, piracy, rape, murder, massacre and treasure. It makes for a compelling story of desperation, madness and greed. The defences and shelters built on the islands off the coast of WA by the shipwrecked crew are the oldest known European structures in Australia. For a story so vibrant and fascinating, Ms Piesse employed a method of artistic expression befitting such a multi-layered event. Inspired by the Bayeaux Tapestry, which depicted the Battle of Hastings in England in 1066, Ms Piesse chose tapestry as her medium. She studied visual arts at Monash
University and discovered her love of tapestry as a form of artistic expression. Her piece on the Batavia is an accumulation of years of work and research. When completed, the tapestry will be a five by three-metre sail depicting the events of the shipwreck in exquisite and minute detail, from the intricacies of the rigging to the embroidered detail on the officers’ uniforms. Tapestry, according to Ms Piesse, is still a commercial and flourishing industry. Places like the Australian Tapestry Workshop demonstrate this art form continues to attract practitioners and admirers. Ms Piesse moved to the Mornington Peninsula a few years ago when she married and is an art teacher at Somerville Secondary College.
She had been volunteering her time at the Wooden Boat Shop in Sorrento and developing her interest in traditional rope work when she met her future husband. She says opportunities for artists on the peninsula are growing and advises budding artists to put “your work out there as often as you can”. “The Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron holds an annual Easter art show and is an opportunity for artists to exhibit and sell their work,” she said. “It’s important to try a lot of different things when you start until you find your voice – the medium that suits you.” Australian Tapestry Workshop – www.austapestry.com.au Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron – www.bys.asn.au

Minister alters Heronswood rules By Mike Hast HISTORIC Heronswood in Dromana has its operating permit from the state government after a long and controversial process. But Planning Minister Matthew Guy has changed key elements of the shire council’s planning amendment, which Mr Guy received last November. They include: ď Ž Heronswood does not have to provide a shuttle bus from Point Nepean Rd to the property in Latrobe Pde on event days. ď Ž Removing the shire’s restrictions on future uses of the site. ď Ž Removing the shire’s restrictions on “private usesâ€? such as weddings. The shuttle bus requirement was imposed by the shire to stop Latrobe Reserve being used as a car parking area on busy days such as Heronswood’s annual Harvest Festival. Permit conditions retained by Mr Guy include that Heronswood will have to seal its car park on Latrobe Pde, be part of a consultative committee, and have traffic marshalls on event weekends throughout the year and all weekends during the peak visitors season between December and February. Mr Guy’s approval confirms the shire’s okay for seats at the property’s cafe to be increased from 20 to 70. On Wednesday, Talei Kenyon, Diggers Club media and education manager, said the organisation was delighted to receive its permit. (Diggers Club is the garden club associated with Heronswood.) “We don’t have absolute clarity [about the terms of the permit], but we
are looking forward to working with Mornington Peninsula Shire to clarify the outcome,� she said. Clive and Penny Blazey, founders and owners of the Diggers Club, have gifted ownership of their highly successful garden company as well as family-owned properties Heronswood and St Erth (at Blackwood in the Macedon Ranges) to the Diggers Garden and Environment Trust. On the club’s website, Mr Blazey stated: “[This will] ensure that the work we’ve done over the past 34 years in preserving historic gardens and houses as well as the best garden traditions through education will continue forever.� Heronswood and its residential neighbours have had a sometimes acrimonious battle over the growth of commerce at the property, which was established as a private residence in 1864 and is the second-oldest historic place on the peninsula after Barragunda in Cape Schanck. Car parking and vehicles leaving and arriving at the site have been major sticking points. Last year the shire said it would ask VicRoads to lower the speed limit by 10km/h on Latrobe Pde near Heronswood to 50km/h. Clive Blazey is a member of the family that made its fortune with Hortico and Penny Blazey is a member of the old money peninsula family the Hiscocks. They bought Heronswood in 1983 and it became the base of Diggers Club. The Blazeys planted five gardens and green thumbs flocked to the property.
New rules for old place: Historic Heronswood, built in 1864, is the centrepiece of a popular garden in Dromana that has seen wrangling between its owners and residential neighbours. Picture: Yanni

Sticky help for violence victims THE Zonta Club of Mornington Peninsula and Mornington Peninsula Shire are raising awareness of contact information for support agencies that help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The club got the idea from interstate and the shire has agreed to place stickers displaying agency contact information on the doors of female and unisex public toilets across the shire. “Domestic violence and sexual assault are serious crimes and due to their intimate nature it can be confronting gaining information or support for these issues,” the mayor Cr Frank Martin said. “The placement of these stickers in private places enables people to discreetly note contact details and to make contact with organisations that could be of help.” Zonta’s advocacy committee head Elaine Hardstaff said specialised agencies could provide crisis counselling on basic legal or medical rights and referral to other services. “Zonta aims to promote freedom from violence and improvement in the legal, health and education status of women,” Ms Hardstaff said. The stickers show contact numbers for the Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service and Sexual Assault Crisis Line Victoria. For help or information, call the Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service on 1800 015 188 or Sexual Assault Crisis Line Victoria, 1800 806 292.

Alcohol controls: Leading Senior Constable Julie Simpson, of Rosebud police, with Rita Kontos, of Mornington Peninsula Shire, at the launch of the Southern Peninsula Liquor Accord.
In accord over alcohol abuse MANAGERS of licensed premises on the southern peninsula are being asked to join an accord to lessen problems caused by alcohol. The Southern Peninsula Liquor Accord launched by Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Frank Martin was established by Rosebud’s Liquor Licensing Unit of Victoria Police, local businesses and business groups, the Victorian Commission for Gaming and Liquor Regulation, and the shire. Cr Martin said the accord aimed to promote “positive and effective community-based strategies targeted at reducing crime and anti-social behaviour that may be related to the misuse of alcohol”.
The accord takes in licensed premises from Dromana to Portsea. One of the objectives of the accord is to provide alternative transport for motorists who have been drinking. Bus services end well before midnight and taxi companies do not service the southern peninsula on Friday or Saturday nights. Pubs, clubs and restaurants will be asked not to offer cheap drinks or drink cards, as well as complying with the law to not serve alcohol to people who are under 18 or intoxicated. Police will be encouraged to make more calls on premises where alcohol is served.

Overall, crimes against people rose 7.4 per cent, including 38 robberies and 961 assaults. There were 315 reported drug offences, 4.2 per cent fewer than the previous year. In 2011-12 there were 8675 crimes reported on the peninsula, which has a population of just over 150,000. In Frankston, which has 126,000 residents, there were 11,800 crimes reported, including nine murders, 56 rapes and 1427 assaults. Drug-related crimes in Frankston jumped 36 per cent to 584. Crimes against a person were also up by nearly 20 per cent, although crimes against property dropped eight per cent. Inspector Jeff Millar, who heads policing in the Frankston area, said police would focus their efforts in the next six to 12 months on reducing assaults.

“You will see increased police patrol activity, especially foot patrols of the busier areas, in our bid to rid Frankston of this needless violence,” Inspector Millar stated on the police website. “We will continue our efforts to ensure all licensed premises are being properly managed and not contributing to harm in the community.” Inspector Millar said “simple security measures” taken by car owners had seen steep reductions in car theft and theft from cars. “Thieves walk along a street at night and simply try all car doors; if they find one open, they take whatever they can. Just by locking your doors you can prevent becoming a victim – it’s that easy.” Inspector Millar said protective service officers at Frankston railway station “should greatly improve the feeling of safety within the community and assist us all to reduce crime in the area”.

Station protection By Keith Platt FRANKSTON is the latest railway station to come under the protection of Protective Services Officers (PSOs). The state government plans to have 940 PSOs on stations throughout the state by November 2014, and Frankston has been judged to be “high risk”. The government has allocated $212 million to recruit, train and deploy PSOs at every metropolitan train station and Frankston is the 13th station to get officers. They will be at Frankston from 6pm until the last train. Before the 2010 election, Hastings MP Neale Burgess said PSOs would be deployed to all stations on the Stony Point line, but no date has yet been given when protection will be deployed to these little-used stations. Dates are yet to fixed for officers at Seaford and Kananook stations, two places at which crimes have been reported. Frankston MP Geoff Shaw on Monday said PSOs were trained to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour at railway stations. “The latest deployment of Protective Services Officers will keep Frankston commuters and the public safer,” Mr Shaw said. It was difficult to know whether the PSOs or Mr Shaw was the main drawcard for the media gathered at the station. Since allegations surfaced about the misuse of Mr Shaw’s parliamentary car, he has been reticent to meet anyone from the media, including this newspaper, and an invitation to see and question him at Frankston would have
been hard to resist, even though PSOs are already operating at 12 other stations. Mr Shaw fielded more questions about investigations surrounding his personal companies than PSOs. However, he gave little away, other than suggesting reporters concentrate on building Frankston up rather than bringing it down. If Mr Shaw is forced to quit parliament after the Ombudsman’s report is released, the subsequent by-election could have a dramatic effect on which party holds power in Victoria, now held by the Liberal-National Coalition with a majority of one. The latest poll shows equal suppport for the government and the Labor opposition. “People feel safer knowing that PSOs will be patrolling their railway stations,” Mr Shaw said. “While on duty, PSOs have the power to take action against antisocial behaviour. They can apprehend, detain, arrest and remove any offenders threatening the safety of other commuters. PSOs undergo on-the-job training under the supervision of Victorian Transit Police. “An important part of their training is also how to appropriately deal with vulnerable groups, and strategies to use when dealing with people in an agitated state or when drink- or drugaffected.” The deployment of PSOs is based on a number of factors such as how busy the train station is and the amount of reported crime and anti-social behaviour. Introduction of PSOs has necessitated upgrading of 66 railway stations.
Platform opportunity: Flanked by Protective Services Officers, Frankston MP Geoff Shaw stays “on message” as news crews try to steer the story toward allegations of his misuse of a parliamentary vehicle. Picture: Yanni
Rights approach for PSOs WITH armed protective services officers (PSOs) patrolling Frankston train station, Peninsula Community Legal Centre is urging commuters to be aware of their rights. “PSOs are armed and uniformed officers who have the power to apprehend, arrest, search, fine and ask people to move on in designated areas such as trains stations and surrounding areas,” principal Lawyer Victoria Mullings said. “They have broad powers but they
must interact with commuters in an accountable manner that is compliant with the duties and restrictions placed on them by the legislation.” Ms Mullings said anyone dealing with PSOs had the right to ask their name, address, place of duty, or ask to see identification if they were not in uniform. “If asked, you must provide a PSO with your name and address but, beyond that, you are not obliged to answer any other questions. “Commuters should remember that
any information they give a PSO may be used against them in court.” For more information about individual rights and PSOs free information cards are available from the legal centre at 441 Nepean Highway, Frankston. The card has been produced by the Federation of Community Legal Centres in partnership with Smart Justice and the Mental Health Legal Service, as part of the Your Rights on Track campaign.

OBITUARY Ronald John Childerhus (Ron) Peacock, 1935-2012 Teacher, education administrator, pianist, sportsman, churchman, community worker By Jan Mann RONALD Peacock was born in Warrnambool on 27 March 1935, the fourth child of William Childerhus and Elsie Mary Peacock. Ron, his parents and his siblings Betty, Lorna and Keith spent the early years in Warrnambool and other country towns before moving to Richmond in Melbourne where William and Elsie ran a boarding house. The week after Darwin was bombed early in 1942, Ron was sent to Violet Town to live with his Auntie Amy for two years. On his return, he continued his education at Burnley State School. Ron excelled at school and was dux in grade 6. As luck would have it, he skipped a grade, which meant mum, who was the same age, was a year below him and was dux the following year, although Ron and Eila Rose Holding did not yet know each other. Ron moved to Hawthorn West State School and finished his schooling at Melbourne High, where he played hockey and made the under-16 state team. He started his teaching degree at Toorak Teachers’ College at age 17 and so began a 39-year association with the Education Department. Ron and Eila met in their teens at Burnley Methodist Church, played badminton as partners and he accompanied Eila on the piano on many occasions when she sang publicly, a double act that was to endure for many years.
They became engaged at 19 and married on 14 January 1956. Ron and Eila had four children, Glenda in 1956, Jan in 1958, Ronda in 1960 and Col in 1962. They have 11 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Ron taught at schools in the Mallee and Gippsland before returning to Melbourne to live in South Oakleigh and teaching at Clarinda, Valkstone and Huntingdale primary schools, and at Kingsbury on the other side of the city. Ron and Eila were members of South Oakleigh Methodist Church where Ron led the choir with Eila as soloist. He played cricket with the church club, where he was a big-hitting batsman and leg-spin bowler. He once hit 32 in an over and in the process smashed the windscreen of the bowler’s car. He also was a keen supporter of Richmond Football Club. After Kingsbury, Ron taught at St Kilda Road Police Academy and Airlie Police Officers’ College in South Yarra. The family came to Rosebud and McCrae for camping holidays in the late 1960s and early 1970s for about seven summers. After teaching police, Ron took a job with the Education Department at Nauru House, in charge of the international teachers exchange program, and later led both Mirrabooka and Toorak teachers’ centres. He was instrumental in the formation of the Professional Officers’ Association. Ron completed his time with the department as principal of Cheltenham East Primary School. During his year with the department, Ron completed a Bachelor of Economics, Bachelor of

“Ron’s nickname on the peninsula was ‘The Organiser’ and his final task was planning his own funeral service.” Education and Master of Education Administration. After 39 years working for the department, Ron retired and he and Eila moved to Dromana and ran a boat hire business for two summers. Ron’s community activities when he lived in South Oakleigh included service with Monash University branch of the Army Reserve and founding member of Churchill Park Golf Club (both Ron and Eila were good golfers). On the peninsula, Ron and Eila established the Nepean auxiliary of Sudden Infant Death Research Foundation (now called SIDS and Kids), raising funds and organising memorial services as well as Red Nose Days. In 1999, he was given the SIDS Community Achievement Award.
Golf made way for lawn bowls and Ron had a long association with Dromana Bowls Club, of which he was a life member. Ron and Eila joined Dromana Uniting Church and Ron was musical director of the church choir from 1991 to 2005, directing Easter and Christmas services. He also compered the Rotary Club of Dromana’s Carols by Candlelight for 17 years Ron was a frequent traveller, the first trip overseas a golfing holiday with Churchill Park club in 1980, which he organised, and others over the years. Ron’s nickname on the peninsula was “The Organiser” and his final task was planning his own funeral service. Other activities on the peninsula included being a member of the board
and committee of Dromana Football Club, executive director of Nepean Country Club, member of Martha Cove Community Reference Group, founder of Safety Beach Country Club Residents’ Association, and co-founder of Association for Building Community in Dromana. He was nominated in the 2007 Australia Day Awards as citizen of the year. Ron was hospitalised 25 times over the past 18 months and was well cared for by doctors, nurses and staff at The Bays Hospital in Mornington. He never complained and stayed positive to the end. We have lost a great man. This is an edited version of the eulogy given by Jan Mann, Ron Peacock’s daughter.

Lifelong firey heart and soul of Dromana CFA OBITUARY Robert James (Bob) Moorehead, 1929-2012 Firefighter, footballer, tennis player, truck driver DROMANA CFA stalwart Bob Moorehead left the fire station for the last time on Friday 31 August, to the strains of a lone piper, the tolling of the station’s bell and a guard of honour along Point Nepean Rd. Mr Moorhead, a senior CFA officer at Dromana for more than 49 years, died on 24 August aged 83. After schooling, he worked in an orchard, then managed a supermarket in Dromana before joining Reid Quarries as a truck driver. He worked at Swan Hardware as a driver for more than 20 years until his retirement in 1994. At his funeral service, officer-incharge of Dromana brigade, Captain Ben Griffiths, said Bob was the brigade’s longest surviving life member and had given 67 years of continual service to the community. He joined the Dromana brigade on 3 September 1945 at age 16 and held the rank of foreman for 25 years from 1950 to 1975 as well as a brief stint in 1990-92. He was captain for 13 years from 1975 to 1988 as well as the brigade’s assistant secretary from 1960 to 1971. “Bob holds life membership of the brigade and the CFA while carrying the National Medal with 4th Bar. He also holds a VUFBA Gold Star, Outstanding Service Badge and 65-year CFA service medal. Recently Bob was
recognised as our brigade patron and has always been seen as the pinnacle of brigade membership and service,” Captain Griffiths told more than 160 mourners at the service. “Within the fire service we recognise key values as determined by the Fire Service Star. The eight tenets of this symbol represent tact, loyalty, dexterity, observation, sympathy, explicitness, gallantry and perseverance. Undoubtedly these are values that highly relate to Bob and his way of life. “I knew Bob as a quietly spoken man who considered his comments and actions. Never one to make rash decisions, he certainly considered the values of observation and tact before progressing into a situation. “This was clearly evident around the meeting table of the brigade where the respect for his thought and opinion was always met with polite consideration and attention from those present. “Bob was our elder statesman and has always been and will always be respected for his experience and loyalty to this brigade.” Captain Griffiths said Bob Moorehead was a true Dromana local who had life membership not only of the brigade but also of Dromana Football Club, where he held the record for most consecutive games – 254 – “a feat unlikely to be matched in the future”. “He was also an avid tennis player, competitively representing Dromana Tennis Club for an extended period and was a life member. “I have been fortunate to get to know

Bob on our short trips from his home at McCrae to the fire station for meeting nights over the past six years. Bob talked about his life in Dromana as a young bloke, from heading out in the morning at dawn to round up the cows for the dairy, which he would find drinking from the creek that ran into Port Phillip near the Shire Offices, now the information centre, to wandering in the orchard at the base of Arthurs Seat. He would point out Latrobe Reserve at the Anthonys Nose end of town and talked of his concern for the growth of vegetation. It was on Bob’s advice that I was able to have Dromana Foreshore Committee undertake further weed eradication and fire danger surveys in
the area. “Bob was happier, but still not completely satisfied as he shared his memories of Arthurs Seat burning after a fire in the area turned and ran up the hill. “Bob was always a worker. Until recently he just couldn’t be seen to retire. Mowing lawns, chain sawing timber and generally busying himself in everyday tasks was the norm. He would always make the station a morning tea stop off, where he’d share his thoughts about cheap imported tools that didn’t meet his expectations. “The brigade lawnmower was a clear example. He insisted on supporting local business and purchasing from
Dromana Mowers a Briggs and Stratton. Nothing else would do. “Bob was also clear this mower was for the station only and would not be loaned to members. “Bob I’ve got to confess – I borrowed the mower 14 years ago while living in a small unit in Dahlia St. It did two minutes’ work and was quickly returned before you found out. “Fittingly it was just last Saturday that the mower decided that if Bob’s was not here to push it around, then no one would. It refused to start.” Captain Griffiths said until recent days, Bob would attend Dromana callouts. “He was keen to be among the action, but the situation was always in hand before he arrived, He would just appear to see what was happening. At the fire scene Bob was easily recognised in a more traditional style of turnout gear, tennis shoes included. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud to have shared a little of Bob’s life with you and I know many more stories will come to light this afternoon as we reflect on this wonderful man.” Among people at the service were Mr Moorhead’s wife Joyce, also a life member of the brigade; his son Ian, a former secretary of the brigade; and his daughter Jan; members of the extended family; and Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley. “When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished, what he does after that is all in the line of duty.”

Goodbye & Thank you By Elida Radig (Palsis)
It is time to say goodbye and it is not an easy task. What does goodbye mean? Can I really say goodbye to you? You are my sisters and sisterhood is not just a word. To embrace the sisterhood of women on planet Earth is a way of life. Many times I have been asked what Feminism is. How can anyone explain in a few coherent words something so strong that is in your blood and in the air in your lungs? Feminism is something that makes you to get up from a warm bed into a cold night to share your strength with a woman who is in danger of losing hers. But goodbye I have to say to the supportive community and to the wonderful women working with me. It is time to ‘retire’.
Their professionalism helped them to overcome our constant request for more women in the Shires staff and they were there when we needed them. 30 years ago, I had an old, rusted Kombi van. I remember the expression on the face of Sergeant Larry Seakin of the Rye Police when he looked at me arriving in that rusted Kombi van in the middle of the night to the Police Station. I was lucky not to get a “canary”. I have seen Leading Senior Constable Michael Schuldt of the Sorrento Police to go out of his way to help so many women and their children that my special thanks goes to Michael. Michael has all my respect for his work. My then husband Alfred Radig helped me to buy a beautiful car to replace that Kombi. It was a Volkswagen Golf. Alfred thought that I was going to be very happy with the car, but it was too small to accommodate the women with their children.
Unfortunately we go not because we are not needed any more, the need is still there and that reality fills my heart with sadness.
I gave the golf car as a trade-in for a Mitsubishi bus to help the women.
Still there are many cowardly males who do not listen to real men.
I still remember his eyes when he realised what I had done.
So many times I saw these cowards made themselves innocuous when they were in the presence of real men.
As a women’s organisation, a Feminist organisation for that matter, we were pleasantly surprise to have the support of the Maritime Union of Australia.
They reserve their cowardice attitude for the women in their lives.
We recognise through men such as Frank Thompson and Steve Cave the fact that those men who hit women are cowards and not real men.
Also, I want to say thank you. Thank you for having me in your lives, for supporting me in my community and women’s rights work.
Real men do not hit women. They are cowards.
Thank you for the support that maintained this organisation for 30 years. The community supported this organisation. Thank you to the women who gave their knowledge, skills, time and caring to the organisation for all these 30 years. Thank you also to those real men who understood what we were all about and supported us in so many ways.
It was through the help of another former Councillor Pat Tonks that we were introduced to the Bendigo Community Bank. It was one of those happy days that allowed us to continue our work for a few more years. All the time there was something that we never gave it a thought. Never was ‘it’ in our agenda. We were too busy to notice ‘it’. Never was an issue until now and it took us by surprise: all this time we were growing old. Sisters you will always be in my heart in sisterhood.
To the women working at ‘That Purple Place’ I say that they have earned a place in the history of this country. Maybe one day in many years from now somebody will write about you. Your 30 years history is the history of this region too. So many lives were enhanced by your work. We haven’t totally finished yet. We are the custodians of important personal documents relating to women and the Courts. We will honour our commitment to those women. We can be contacted through our web-site: www.thatpurpleplace.com or our e-mail address pwrc@ozemail.com.au. We will maintain this connections and documents for the next 7 years and we will try to be with them in Court. I would like to thank former Councillor Margaret Bell and current Councillor Anne Shaw. Their sincere commitment to the wellbeing of women and children helped us to assist many families in the region. When we started 30 years ago, there were three separate Shires and we had to approach the officers from the Shires of Flinders, Hastings and Mornington. This communication was made easier by officers such as Robin Adam, Alex Atkins and Tom Jones.

Change spells doom for peninsula By David Gill THE Mornington Peninsula will be gone like the Tassie devil if state Minister for Planning Matthew Guy gets his way. The deadline for submissions about his proposals is 21 September, but the planning ministry is playing dead on this issue, which could change the Mornington Peninsula forever. The ministry is keeping it very quiet, but informed rumour has it that developers are already buying up around our villages and towns. The proposed zonings aim to increase the number of “as of right” commercial uses with no rights of appeal when a large development is to be plonked next to or near residents. This includes no right to appeal against unlimited hours of operation. Commercial zones are to be extended into residential zones, again with no right of appeal even against the height of buildings, loud noise or busy car parks. There will be no need to demonstrate community benefit when expanding commercial zones into quiet residential areas. Shopkeepers will see the ruination of their retail centres because the new zonings allow out-of-centre retail development, particularly along main roads. Large towns like Frankston, the gateway to the peninsula, will see movement toward outlying cheaper land with new infrastructure problems, including parking and public transport. Frankston has planned its shopping, commercial and industrial centres for years in order to create economic vi-
ability and definite boundaries around residential areas. We will also have ad hoc development stretching out along roads and ruining the approaches to the peninsula’s beautiful small towns and villages. Industrial zones and business and commercial zones are to be mixed together, creating mayhem for smaller shopping centres and any unlucky residents caught next to a new, freestanding large supermarket or hardware-type store. Even worse are the proposed changes to the peninsula’s rural zones. In these zones, including farming and the green wedge, all existing limits on tourism-based developments will be removed, with no new strategy to protect us from over-development. This includes the effects on existing businesses, which are sure to be devalued. New jobs will mean the loss of “old” jobs. A function centre or large-scale accommodation on that quiet country lane? No limits will apply, build as many as you like. This will change the face of the peninsula forever while our politicians sit on their hands hoping that you won’t notice. The proposals will allow multiple excisions into small farms. We will have houses dotted over every view of the peninsula. The planning minister thinks that this is a good idea. Tourists love our country roads, the space and the tranquillity, but will they keep coming when we look like just another suburb because of over-development?
Unwelcome changes: David Gill believes the Mornington Peninsula’s days of being a drawcard for tourists may be numbered if the state government adopts new planning rules. Picture: Keith Platt
According to estimates by tourismauthorities, peninsula tourism contributes $850 million and agriculture production contributes $600 million to our state’s economy. This will be jeopardised if farms are reduced to small, unproductive hobby farms and tourists decide to look elsewhere for their scenic drives. Former prohibited uses in the peninsula’s farming zones included service stations, medical centres, schools and all forms of accommodation. All will
now be allowed according to Mr Guy. Existing urban growth boundaries will disappear. The age of the unfettered developer will arrive on the peninsula. The rural landscape, once devalued, will never return. That’s the thing about planning – development can never be returned to the past. Development – good or bad – is forever. Are we getting what we deserve? The peninsula is seen as solid Liberal. No swinging seats here. No need for local politicians to worry about their
constituents’ concerns. Our politicians are complacent, they mouth platitudes about protecting the peninsula but action, or inaction, speaks louder than words. They should be ashamed of themselves. David Gill is a former shire president (mayor) of the Shire of Mornington who was also a member of the Western Port Regional Planning Authority. He was chairman of planning for the shire for several years.

El Nino’s ‘likely’ spring return By Mike Hast WEATHER forecasters say the chances of Australia returning to drier conditions are likely with the El Nino weather pattern set to re-form in October. El Nino was responsible for 14 years of drought in many parts of the nation including the southeast corner. The drought broke in the autumn and winter of 2010 and many parts of Australia have had good rains during the past two years. Alex Zadnik of Weatherzone.com told Radio Port Phillip’s Environment Show the chance of El Nino returning was looking more certain. The former Sorrento resident, now chief meteorologist at the Sydney-based weather company, said there was strong evidence of warming of the sea surface in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, a key indicator of El Nino conditions. “Computer models picked the La Nina event – which led to floods and above-average rain in the past two years in Queensland, NSW and Victoria – and are now predicting a likely return to drier conditions,� he said. Mr Zadnik said the dams supplying greater Melbourne were about 80 per cent full, “the highest level for 15 years�. A majority of weather agencies around the world including in Australia, United States, United Kingdom and Japan were pointing to an El Nino return. “If we see sea surface temperatures half a degree above normal for a number of months, we call the El Nino conditions.� More temperature buoys, satellite information and observations taken aboard ships in the Pacific allowed the computer modelling to be more accurate, he said. “After two years of good growing conditions, fire agencies such as the CFA and DSE would know about the predictions and would be preparing for a possible dry spring and summer and heightened fire risk.� ABC Radio reported that El Nino weather events meant drier conditions across Australia. “Despite the plentiful rain along the east coast in recent weeks, there are still large areas of the country that have below-average rainfall. “El Nino occurs when the central and eastern Pacific warms up, causing major shifts in weather patterns.� The Bureau of Meteorology said it was too soon to say if a new El Nino system would bring drought, but most computer models were pointing to drier than average conditions in spring and summer.
El Nino coming: Above, 14 years of very dry conditions caused by El Nino between 1996 and 2010 saw high fire risks throughout the southeast of Australia, including the Mornington Peninsula. Residents of Crib Point were forced to fight a blaze that burnt beside the train line in 2003. Picture: Yanni Right, Alex Zadnik of Weatherzone.com and other meteorologists have warned that Australia could see a return of El Nino and drier conditions as early as October.

Villages an option under new plan By David Harrison DE facto villages with hundreds of permanent residents could spring up across the Mornington Peninsula’s extensive rural areas under proposed changes to Victorian planning laws. Planning Minister Matthew Guy proposes to allow numerous urban facilities in the green wedge that at present are prohibited or heavily restricted. The facilities include many that are essential for permanent settlements, including accommodation, shops, medical centres, schools, restaurants, service stations and businesses – even display homes and abattoirs. Settlements would be permitted on virtually any site in a green wedge zone starting with caravan and camping parks providing hundreds of sites
for caravans as well as family-sized lodges and cabins of the sort found at holiday resorts. The parks would help ease Melbourne’s housing shortage by supplying permanent, low-cost accommodation on the fringes of the metropolis. At least one Mornington Peninsula group – Peninsula Advisory Committee for the Elderly – has welcomed the potential to house poor, elderly and disadvantaged people. Mornington Peninsula Shire has tried unsuccessfully to regulate caravan and camping parks. At present, Melbourne’s 12 green wedge zones are strictly controlled to keep out urban development. For example, a restaurant or convention centre can only be built on a prop-
erty of 40 hectares or more and must demonstrate an “essential link” with agriculture. The restrictions all go under the Matthew Guy proposals, meaning unlimited patrons, no minimum land size and no link with agriculture. Former premier Sir Rupert Hamer and his planning minister Alan Hunt worked to ensure the green wedge zones they created in 1971 remained green. Some proposed new uses are “as of right” – meaning they cannot be challenged either by local government or neighbours. A further major change will be the effective destruction of the line that separates urban from rural land use – the crucial and controversial urban growth boundary, which prevents urban intrusion into green wedge zones.
This means homeowners who now abut green wedge land could find that a school or a 1000-guest convention centre can be built over their back fence on a small land parcel. Loss of the urban–rural boundary would inevitably be the “end of the wedge” as more and more developer pressure is applied to the state government for more and bigger urban activity on what was farmland. Where appeals to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal are still possible to try to prevent or modify planning applications, the vagueness of the new laws will create uncertainty. Mornington Peninsula Shire, which strongly opposes the Guy changes, has argued in its “Interim Position Statement” that the minister’s “reforms”
– as the shire describes them – create less certainty than at present, despite Mr Guy’s claim they create more certainty. The reforms may well result in more VCAT cases and a system that morphs into “planning by appeal”, the shire states. According to virtually all community groups forced to seek redress in the tribunal, VCAT has a long and impressive record of neighbourhood butchery. It has the legal luxury of not being bound to follow its own precedents and its decisions can rarely be challenged – and then only on points of law in the Supreme Court, a prohibitively expensive venue for community groups challenging wealthy landowners, developers or local councils with deep pockets.
A disturbing visit to the fighting hillbillies MRS Emu has just arrived back from a week visiting her sister Ermyntrude in a far-off shire – a week is not a long enough, in Emu’s opinion. She was breathless with a rumour after arriving home; she adores rumours. “Our councillors are saints!” she wheezed, “compared with the hillbillies that run the Shire of Upper Gumtree.” She pauses for breath. “They have punch-ups, just like the Japanese Parliament. Brilliant!” She likes a stoush, reflects her placid but bruised spouse. When the Emu Rampant had settled down with a cuppa, it turned out these “hillbillies” didn’t actually exchange blows. Just nearly, it seems. Perfectly acceptable councillor behaviour, thinks Emu: it enlivens a dull meeting. “Ermy told me this councillor was asking questions – just asking perfectly polite questions – when another councillor got annoyed with what she
apparently thought was his over-aggressive line of questioning. “She leapt to her feet and leaned over the councillor sitting between them, fire coming out of her nostrils – actual fire! hardly any smoke – and nearly scorched him with it she was so close. Ermy reckoned her eyes were bulging nearly out of her head and she went the colour of an overripe aubergine. “No one could really understand what she was saying; apparently she comes from one of those fighting nations in the Balkans or thereabouts and tends to lapse into her native language when stirred. “But he remained calm. He ignored her. Imagine that!”

That’s how they do it on the telly. I suppose some people just can’t wait – too hot-blooded. We should visit the Balkans. It sounds very exciting.” Emu thinks not. They carry guns over there, just like Americans. He recalls a Balkan leader named Enver Hoxha who, in a cabinet meeting, was said to have dealt with a contentious point by producing a revolver and settling the issue with a single shot. It was then carried unanimously on a show of hands – all empty, apart from Mr Hoxha’s smoking gun. Or so the rumour went. But it’s plausible. After all, he had five rounds left in the gun’s chamber.
Signed up: Ready to work on the Rye playground are Tim Williams, Luke Minchington, Marg Reid, Kerrie Barnhill, David Garden, Mohan Nryanl, Doug Grant, Michael Gibson, Peter Keach, Barry Swayn and Alan Courtney. Picture: Yanni
Playmates wanted for playground IT may seem strange to some, but Barry Swayn sees no problems with building a team numbering, among others, members of Victoria police, developer Daniel Grollo, professional building industry “mediator” Mick Gatto and the CFMEU (Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union). Mr Swayn is organising the construction of a playground at Rye fore-
shore and wants all the help he can get. He says 480 people have signed up but he needs another 300. Mr Swayn says he is thinking of contacting the building industry heavyweights “to see if they can help on their days off”. The five-day project starts on 24 October, with shifts from 7.15am. To volunteer, call Mr Swayn on 0422 402 199 or 5985 5991.

Farewell to the Earth’s first Moonwalker By Peter Skilton THE first man to set foot on the Moon, Neil Armstrong, has died after complications from cardiovascular surgery. He was 82 years old. Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society was founded in Frankston in July 1969, inspired directly by his historic first manned lunar landing that month. Of the 12 astronauts who walked on the magnificent desolation of the Moon during the Apollo program, four have now left us. The last man on the Moon, Harrison Schmitt, visited Mornington several years ago. However, the first, Armstrong, never visited here although one of our members, Alex Cherney, met him last year at an astrophotography conference in the Canary Islands, and was impressed by how unassumingly humble and passionate he was; a reluctant hero. I believe he even sang happy birthday to Alex. Not long before his 39th birthday, watched by about a fifth of the world’s population, Armstrong descended the ladder of the Lunar Eagle Module to the Moon’s surface on 21 July 1969, Australian time, where he spent about three hours roaming around the Sea of Tranquility with fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin, taking pictures, collecting samples and performing experiments. Some Australian news reports may quote the date as 20 July from overseas news sources; this being the time in the United States, which is on other side of the international date line. When Armstrong stepped on to the
Astro-hero: Neil Armstrong at the Starmus conference in July 2011 with Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society member Alex Cherney, right. Photo courtesy Alex Cherney
surface he said: “That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind”, with the “a” being all but inaudible. It has always been a subject of speculation as to whether he omitted the “a” by mistake or due to nerves with such a very public speech, but it’s generally believed the reason was technological in nature due to a brief transmission interruption. Armstrong was an aeronautical engineer, US Navy test pilot and Korean combat veteran originally, received numerous decorations, titles and acco-
lades throughout his life, and remained extremely modest and reserved in his dealings with the media throughout, sometimes to the point of being unfairly referred to as a recluse due to his shunning of the limelight and rarely doing interviews. He left the razzamatazz of communicating to the public about the lunar landing to Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the Moon, who has travelled the world widely since. In later years, Armstrong sought enjoyment in farming cattle and corn on his farm near the town of Lebanon in Ohio.
He was considered exceptionally brilliant by fellow astronauts, able to absorb vast amounts of information quickly and calmly, and this no doubt prepared him admirably to become the Commander of the Apollo 11 mission and to land the Eagle safely at Tranquility Base under what proved to be very difficult circumstances during descent. It’s salutary to remember that the computer inside your mobile phone today is many millions of times more powerful than that which landed him on the Moon.
Ground control: Neil Armstrong after his momentous Moon walk, resting in the lunar module before its ascent from the surface. The flag he left behind is now bleached white by the Sun’s UV rays, but the footprints he left behind will remain pristine for eons. Photo courtesy NASA
He is survived by his wife, two sons, a stepson and stepdaughter, 10 grandchildren, and a brother and sister. In the words of Neil Armstrong: “The sights were simply magnificent, beyond any visual experience that I had ever been exposed to.” In an age of seeming absence of true heroes of substance to inspire generations, one has just passed.

WHAT’S NEW
Searoad’s 25-year ferry tale THE Queenscliff to Sorrento ferry service is celebrating 25 years of operation with a weekend of festivities on 15 and 16 September. Searoad Ferries CEO Matt McDonald said the anniversary was a significant milestone for the iconic service, which had carried more than 10 million people across Port Phillip. He said the weekend’s celebrations on board the ferries would include “live music, family fun activities, and regional food and wine”. “Relax with the Peninsula Hot Springs bathing tubs and massage tent on the top deck, golf with a pro, meet Thomas the Tank Engine, and find face painters and a roving magician as you travel between Sorrento and Queenscliff,” he said. “Disembark and enjoy the village of Queenscliff and then travel back for more fun. All activities are included in the ferry ticket price. Saturday night fireworks can be viewed from the ferry terminal in Sorrento at 7pm.” Mr McDonald said that over 25 years, the ferry service had covered more than one million kilometres – equivalent to 25 trips around the world – and provided a vital link between the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas. When MV Peninsula Princess made its first voyage from Queenscliff to Sorrento, it was the realisation of a vision that had been held for 30 years. In the beginning, the ferry operated simply as a transport service, carrying
just a few thousand visitors and vehicles each year. But reports of the spectacular journey soon boosted the ferry’s popularity. As numbers grew, the 60-metre, all-weather MV Queenscliff was introduced in 1994, carrying up to 700 passengers and 70 vehicles. In order to double capacity and enable hourly departures from both
ports, MV Sorrento was introduced in 2000. In 2011, the 17-year-old Queenscliff underwent a multi-million dollar renovation and is now a worldclass ferry, Mr McDonald said. Today, the two ferries make more than 8000 sailings a year, carry more than 700,000 passengers and 200,000 vehicles, making it Australia’s busiest car and passenger ferry service.
“Searoad Ferries employs more than 90 full-time and part-time staff and generates about $130 million in revenue for the local economy,” Mr McDonald said. “The service is integral in linking the Great Ocean Road, the Bellarine and Mornington peninsulas and Phillip Island, providing a unique, continuous coastal tourism experience
in a journey that has become one of Victoria’s most popular touring routes.” Book online to save. One-way foot passengers: adult $9, concession $8, family pass (two adults and three children) $30. For more information and activity schedule, visit www.searoad.com.au

Red Hill Riders Eastern Zone Victorian Schools Cycling Championship Mountain Bike Race With the help and support of the Rotary Club of Dromana, Cycle Sport Victoria & Red Hill Riders staged the Eastern Zone Victorian Schools Cycling Championship Mountain bike race on the 22nd of July, held at Dromana Secondary College. The Rotary Club of Dromana helped support them with a sausage sizzle and drinks to raise funds and support the local community activity. The Championship was open to 11-19 year old boys and girls, and it was a huge success with over one hundred competitors taking part and a further two hundred people attending, including parents, friends and other family members all providing a fun and supporting atmosphere for the riders.
Club contacts: Rosebud-Rye 5981 2733. Dromana 5982 1649
Rotary were blessed with ¿ne weather, an enthusiastic cheering crowd, many happy competitors and a steady queue of customers for the sausage sizzle and refreshments. The last race of the day took place at 2.00pm, after which presentations took place for the top riders. This championship was the last of three zone ¿nals in the 2012 MTB Series after previous championships took place in Geelong and Albury. The top three riders from each category quali¿ed for the MTB State Final at Dallas Brooks Scout Park on Sunday August 5, which should also be a huge success and a fun event for all. The project was well supported by not only the Rotary Club of Dromana, but also assisted by The Hillview Quarries, Bendigo Bank and the Mornington Peninsula Shire - all helping to provide support for the riders club and a fun family friendly event for locals and the community. The championship comes as the Red Hill Riders and the local community have been working every weekend for the past 2 months to complete the trail, of¿cially known as the Hillview Recreation Trail. With the success of the riding championship this year, and the completion of the trail, many fun and family-friendly community events are sure to be held in the future to provide a good time for all!

Beauty is in the iPod of the beholder By Stuart McCullough SADLY, it’s over. It is clear to me the bond I believed existed between us was a mere figment of my imagination. I am embarrassed, naturally. For a time there, it seemed as if you could read my mind, anticipate my every whim, each passing desire. I see now that I was horribly mistaken. In an instant, it is if I am suddenly in the presence of a stranger who does not know the first thing about me. Or, more to the point, one who does not know the first thing about my musical preferences. I’m sorry to say this but, dear “Recommendations for You” on the iTunes store, you don’t understand me at all. I probably should have dumped you long ago, but the memory of those first giddy encounters led me to hope that things would, at some point, get better. Even now, the remembrance of recommendations past causes a mist of warm feelings to descend on me like summer rain. Ahh. Perhaps it was the sheer novelty of having a machine tell me that it cares about me that caught me so off-guard. I suppose I was flattered. I know better now. Perhaps our romance was always doomed because, when all is said and done, my heart belongs to proper music stores. They were the very reason I came to digital purchasing relatively late. For me, there has always been something quite lovely about a music store. There was always the thrill of discovery as you rifled through the racks – encountering albums that you had only ever heard spoken of in
hushed, reverent tones or the giddy joy of purchasing something on the strength of the cover art alone. Try replicating that with an MP3 file. Then there is the matter of judgement – it’s like no other retail experience. Whether it is a law or a substantial and overwhelming coincidence, every good music store must employ someone at the front counter called Lloyd. Always slightly haggard of appearance and possibly hungover, Lloyd is the absolute arbiter of taste. Granted, such judgement is plainly rendered useless when it comes to clothes, but
music is an entirely different matter. When you hand up your selections, the grizzled, bloodshot eye of ol’ Lloyd crawls across the cover in silence. It’s an awkward moment. Finally, the moment of approval comes in form of a grunt or in the slightest of nods that a moment’s inattention would let pass by undetected. A particularly tasteful choice might even prompt a comment along the lines of “Great album. Ever heard any Little Feat?” There are few greater compliments on this earth than for a music store attendant to share their knowledge with
Rye RSL Club
you. It’s like being granted entry to an exclusive club. A glorious world in which looks, dress sense and hygiene count for little and knowledge – sweet musical knowledge – is prized above all else. When a music store employee shares their thoughts about music with you, it’s a sacred bond. Granted, one that lasts no longer than 60 seconds and involves a cash payment, but a sacred bond all the same. When I discovered I could purchase music without even leaving the house, I’ll admit I was seduced by the convenience and efficiency. Not to mention the fact that such purchases came without the tell-tale packaging that instantly alerts your loved ones to the fact you have just kicked a sizeable hole in the weekly household budget. Better than just efficient, it was discrete. Not that things were perfect. Buying music with a simple mouse click has its problems – it feels cold, a little distant. I even missed the ritual of trying to get the CD out of the plastic, with success always feeling as if it should be greeted with a musical flourish to herald a magical act of escape. I miss looking at the cover – and reading the liner notes. I don’t know why I need to know who played the harmonium on track three or which band member ran down to the shops for a pie and a Big M at a crucial moment during the recording process – I just do. In an age of picking tracks as they please you, liner notes are all but extinct. Sometimes you can download a booklet, but it’s a pretty feeble substitute. I probably missed Lloyd most of all.
That’s where iTunes came in. At first it felt like someone was reading my mind as I gleefully snapped up everything “Recommendations for You” suggested. Then something, somewhere, went horribly wrong. Like so many things, it unravelled over time. First it was the occasional recommendation that I buy the latest Madonna or Lady Gaga single when, in truth, I’d sooner fill my ears with hot wax than to listen to anything that either of them saw fit to unleash on the public. Then there were the recommendations to buy various singles by reality show contestants. Suddenly, it was as though we were drifting apart. Ironically enough, it was when you recommended My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion that I knew we were truly sunk. I demanded a retraction. You, being the machine that you are, did not respond. My heart will, indeed, go on, but not with you. It belongs to Lloyd and to real music stores everywhere. Try as you might, you can never replace a real music store attendant. At best, you can only simulate the experience. It is, I feel, the curse of being inhuman, no matter how hard you try to convince us otherwise. So, “Recommendations for You”, allow me to return the favour and recommend the song It’s Over by the late, great Roy Orbison. A soaring piece of emotional pop-opera, chances are your mechanical heart won’t be moved at all. That, I am afraid, is your loss. I can say, however, that it comes with Lloyd’s stamp of approval. That, at least, still means something. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance THE Australian music scene was at its best in the 1970s. We were hit with the blues bug and the birth of Australian rock. Our radios were blasting out Lobby Loyde and the Coloured Balls, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Spectrum, La De Das, Blackfeather, Madder Lake, The Angels, Chain, Cold Chisel and many more. I was at the first Sunbury Festival and saw Band of Light, JOK, Billy Thorpe, Michael Turner in Session and Country Radio. By the mid-1970s, I was working with Jimmy Barnes, Redhouse, Stars, Blue Echoes, AC/DC, Kevin Borich Express, Bootleg Family Band, Avalanche, Finch and other artists. I recall Mushrooms Records insuring Jimmy Barnes for $1 million when he insisted on doing his own stunts on the clip of his first solo single No Second Prize and the Coloured Balls’ debut single Liberate Rock was the first time in Australia a record company, Havoc Records, advertised the release of a single with a radio commercial. There was the first performance of new Redhouse lead singer Graham Matters who had previously performed in A Chorus Line and The Rocky Horror Show and Beeb Birtles discovered a band in Adelaide called The Stars, dubbed rock ’n’ roll cowboys. To celebrate 1970s Australian music, Warner Music has released a double compilation CD – Boogie! Australian Blues, R&B and Heavy Rock from the ’70s featuring some of the biggest songs including Black and Blue by Chain, Guitar Band by Stevie Wright, Bad Boy for Love by Rose Tattoo, Boogie Part One by Carson, Too Pooped to Pop by La De Das, Flash by Coloured Balls, Most People I Know Think That I’m Crazy by Billy Thorpe, Boppin’ the Blues by Blackfeather, and The Destiny Song by Band of Light. Other performers include Masters Apprentices, Cold Chisel, Buster Brown, Buffalo, Kahvas Jute, Wendy Saddington, Spectrum, Matt Taylor, Skyhooks and The Sports. Skyhooks has its remastered version of Saturday Night, Daddy Cool
perform Hi Honey Ho (live Sunbury 1974) and Chain a 2010 remastered version of Gertrude Street Blues. The album of 44 tracks will be the first release for the better part of a decade from the iconic Festival label, which is celebrating its 60th birthday. And speaking of anniversaries, the Sunbury Festival, which featured many of the acts on the compilation, turns 40 this year. Boogie! is a rare piece of Australian rock history and Warner Music has given us some copies to give away. To be in the draw, send your entry to Boogie! CD, MP News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915. www.warnermusic.com.au *** I FIND children’s books fascinating and a great read. Author Alison Reynolds and illustrator Heath McKenzie have put together A Year with Marmalade, a story about friendship, losing old friends and making new ones. When Maddy’s family relocate for a year, she must leave behind her cat,
Marmalade, and her best friend Ella. The story of the growing friendship between Marmalade and Ella is set against a backdrop of the changing seasons. Alison keeps the language simple and the look on Marmalade’s face when he discovers the cat “door” in the fence put a smile on my face and made me laugh. The young ones will love it, too! A Year with Marmalade (Five Mile Press) by Alison Reynolds and Heath McKenzie, $14.95. www.alisonreynolds.com.au *** SIX-time Grammy Award winner and founding member of The Eagles, Glenn Frey will visit Australia in October to promote his sixth solo album After Hours (Universal) and announce his 2013 tour dates. Frey has taken a new direction with the album and spent more than two years on the project. It is a collection of swing songs including 1940s classics such as Sentimental Reasons
The sexual assault charges from Sweden appears weak at best; didn’t they drop it for lack of evidence? Thus a seemingly devious plan with our concurrence (and Britain’s) to get him. It’s one thing to rely on our friends from the USA, but it grates that we simply appear to obey their wishes. *** ANOTHER winter, another cold virus over, thank God, or whoever. Three strikes and you’re out? I’m a Labor voter, I barrack for Collingwood (maybe 2013?) and strike three is when you’re closing in on the century or you notice the famous people who have kicked it are younger than you. Will there be a register of bad deeds? No doubt I have them, but time allows vague memories to drift into fantasy, like the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre – 2020? For years I had a dream of murdering the female next door and she disappeared. Rosemary Carter? Who up or down there have I offended? The Devil is in the detail! Join the Seventh Day Adventist Church? Don’t they come back in another life; maybe they’ll forget to erase my memory? A genius at six and amazingly successful with the opposite sex, unless? No, surely not return as a female. Am I going crackers? Yes, as we all are. It could be worse. The Rye and Chelsea
RSLs could run out of beer. Welcome spring. PS: Death doesn’t worry me so much as the dying or having all my teeth out. *** I’VE been changing my sheets for eight years since being solo and I still haven’t worked out which is the top of the top sheet. Sometimes I make a conscious note, but when they come around again I’ve forgotten. No big deal, you say? Perhaps not, but it irks me every time the changeover arrives. Changing sheets is exhausting in itself, even with my king single bed. I’d buy myself a queen bed to luxuriate in, but there’s the danger of encouraging visitors and pint-sized grandkids. *** ARTS About on Radio Port Philip, 98.7FM every Sunday at 11am repeated Wednesdays at midday. If you’re into a taste of “culture”, the show features intelligent guests and is beautifully presented by Sally Baillieu, Swanny and Kaarin Fairfax. Give it a try. *** ICONOCLAST art critic Robert Hughes has departed planet Earth, leaving us much to be thankful for. So again, I repeat his words “Arts is a measure of the character of the country, an organic part of human nature, without which our natures are coars-
and My Buddy as well as favourites from some of his contemporaries such as Brian Wilson’s Caroline No and Randy Newman’s Same Girl, and the American standard Route 66. Frey’s started his career playing guitar on Bob Seger’s early recordings before joining Linda Ronstadt’s band. He later formed The Eagles with Don Henley before starting a solo career,which produced the hit song The Heat is On (1984) from the film Beverly Hills Cop. Frey is an accomplished actor having appeared in the TV shows Miami Vice, Nash Bridges and Wise Guy as well as in the Tom Cruise movie Jerry Maguire. Frey has won six Grammys and five American Music Awards. After Hours is in music stores now. www.glennfreyafterhours.com *** MARLEY is a film about reggae icon Bob Marley, the musician, the revolutionary and legend. Marley’s death in May 1981 left a huge void in what is perhaps modern music’s most spiritual and yet accessible genre, reggae. His 17 albums continue to sell to the next generation of music fans at a rate of about 174 million units a year. Next month Roadshow Entertainment will release Marley on Blu-ray, DVD and as a download. www.roadshow.com.au *** PET Shop Boys’ new album Elysium (Parlophone) is out on 14 September. The single Winner is out now and available to download. The album can be pre-ordered from iTunes or JB
By Gary Turner HiFi. It will be available on CD, digital download, 12-inch vinyl and limited edition double CD. www.petshopboys.co.uk *** ZZ Top will release their first studio album in nine years, La Futura, on 14 September. The band is celebrating its 42nd year with the same line-up. Singer-guitarist Billy Gibbons, bass player Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard have come up with 10 tracks that reflect the band’s intuitive take on rock. www.zztop.com *** LEE Kernaghan has announced on his Facebook fan page that a new album, Beautiful Noise, will be out on 19 October through ABC Music/Universal Music Australia. It is the first album of new material from Kernaghan since the release of the multi award-winning Planet Country in November 2009. The 2008 Australian of the Year, Kernaghan has album sales of more than two million, 10 platinum or better releases, 28 Golden Guitars and three ARIAs to his name. www.leekernaghan.com www.facebook.com/leekernaghan fans www.abcmusic.com.au Lee Kernaghan and Gary Turner.
A Grain of Salt SECURITY bureaucrats, senior intelligence officials, ASIO, et al are pushing for compulsory internet data retention, more stop and search powers, forcing us to declare our passwords – all in the name of “for the good of the country”, security, etc. “If you have nothing to hide, you’ve nothing to fear” sort of rubbish. Beware. Fortunately (for now) our darling Attorney-General Nicola Roxon has stalled these mysterious bureaucrats by way of a parliamentary committee. Hopefully the public will wake up to these evils sooner rather than later, or run the risk of becoming another China where every click on Google is watched by security forces. A tick for Nicola does not cancel out her previous work as health minister and her latest on tobacco plain packaging. Let’s plain package overseas beer brands, Nicola? Oh, and Teddy’s promise to end excessive and unreasonable FOI delays? Like fun! PS, my password is shadesofgrey8. *** I’M not with Julian Assange on the matter of his rampant anti-American outlook on transparency. Yes to FOI, but no to letting all our washing hang out for all ratbags to see. Some things are best left to “them” despite our cynicism. And, really, in a roundabout way he crucified Bradley Manning.
ened, impoverished and denied and our sense of community with other citizens is weakened”. Elitist, yes, but a great writer and a good Aussie who saw through the bulldust. *** WHY would anyone believe the rubbish being put forward by Terry McCrann and Andrew Bolt? I’d add Paul Clitheroe who, like the others, has yet to tell me something I don’t know. Oh, and Peter Costello’s bitterness. Yes, I’m aware that we like those we agree with and dislike the opposites, but I still hunger for learning something other than what I’m anticipating before I read it. So, vote conservative, ban all smoking, ban the pokies, move to bans on alcohol. What next – ban sex? Oscar Wilde: “Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.” “Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? More hope is of a fool than of him.” Mostly before they have travelled life halfway? Spare me from the big boys of the world. *** THE lovable AFL has come to our rescue once again with its “Respect and responsibility code”, as in the treatment of women. All the sports reporters (bar Grant Thomas, bless him) wax lyrically on the goodness of it all. They
By Cliff Ellen would, wouldn’t they? Free lunches, self-importance and particularly “belonging” to the clique. How about the treatment of men? Nope, would not work. Most males wouldn’t believe it if you insulted them; likely they would assume you fancied them. *** RANDOM thoughts: A new male contraceptive pill on the market within five years; bugger, too late. Godwin Grech suggests little Johnny Howard as our next GovernorGeneral, assuming Tony becomes PM. Pull your head in, Godwin. Tasmania is set to allow gay marriage. Good for Tassie. I hope this doesn’t result in an atmospheric loss to Daylesford and Northcote. “If you’re going to be published, you’re probably going to be damned.” Bruce Guthrie. Begone the winter of our discontent, and the once mighty Magpies. cliffie9@bigpond.com

Sharks v Bulls, Redlegs v Stonecats PENINSULA DIVISION By Toe Punt BONBEACH will play Karingal in the MPNFL Peninsula Division first semi-final this weekend after beating Seaford in the elimination final on Saturday. Given Bonbeach’s sensational, consistent season, the Sharks deserved to go through to the second week of the finals. The task was made slightly easier with the withdrawal of Seaford’s gun playmaker Chris Irving. Bonbeach had been whacked with the injury stick too leading up to the finals with Anthony Raso, James Norton and Nathan Hicks copping seasonending injuries. These three players alone had contributed close to 60 goals this season for the Sharks. On the flip side, Matty Batten, Matt Clifford and Ash Simpson returned to the side after being rested in the last home and away game. Dean Kemble returned for the Tigers after missing the last home and away game. After two very tight tussles during the season, the game was never going to be a blowout. It was one win all and this game was
expected to go down to the wire. The final margin of eight points wasn’t surprising. Every side needs a target to step up and dominate a game of footy and lead their charges to the line. One player who has continued to do this for Bonbeach Football Club for a decade is Shane McDonald. Arguably the best player on the ground, McDonald booted four goals and looked dangerous all afternoon. Sharks’ coach Stevey Capp admitted on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he needed to restructure. “We’ve lost some talls and goalkicking firepower, and we need to ensure that we do things a little differently in the forward half,” Capp said. “Obviously we have to go a little smaller in attack and I’m confident we have a number of players who can rotate through there. “Seaford is very good at winning the contested ball and we thought that if we could match them in this area, we would give ourselves every chance to win. “I thought we could beat them with pace and spread on the bigger ground, too, which proved to be the case. “We went inside 50 at least 13 more times than Seaford.”
The Sharks had six goalkickers with Shaun Foster and Dale Donkin also kicking multiple goals. Aaron Walton was superb for the Tigers with four goals and Michael Kraska was his usual dangerous self with four also, while Brayden Irving finished with a couple. Jamie Quanchi stepped up this season and was good again on Saturday while the oldest bloke on the park, Jeremy Walker, worked tirelessly and was one of the Tigers’ best. In the Reserves, Frankston YCW made it nine wins from its past 10 matches with a thumping 11-goal win over Seaford. In the Under-18s, Chelsea led all afternoon to knock Mornington out of the finals. It’s the first time in more than 10 years the Doggies have not been part of the second week of finals.
Qualifying final MT Eliza played some of its best football for the year to beat Karingal by 10 points in Sunday’s qualifying final. The Redlegs kicked with the breeze in the opening quarter and started sensationally, booting six goals to two. Mt Eliza went into the game without Sam Lloyd, who played with Bendigo Bombers the day before, while Karin-
gal went in without the injured Michael Burke. Michael Loury booted five goals in the first half and finished with seven, including the sealer on the final siren. Mt Eliza controlled the game and deserved to win. Scott Simpson was outstanding around the ground, Sam Gill and Ben Landry controlled the half-back line and through the middle, and Westcott did a sensational job on Chris Hay for the first three quarters. At three-quarter time, Mt Eliza led by 41 points. Karingal moved things around when their backs were to the wall in the second quarter. Brendan Dunne and Luke Van Raay went forward, Paxton went to Lourey and Dan Noble moved to the back line. James Tyquin also moved into the centre. The moves made a difference in the third, although the Redlegs responded and went into the final 30 minutes with a handy lead. In the final term, Karingal came storming home.Chris Hay booted three last-quarter goals and David Hirst contributed an important goal on the run, giving him three for the afternoon. The Bulls hit the post three times in
the last quarter, which was telling. They got within four points with a minute left on the clock and took the ball inside their attacking 50, but the dour Redlegs’ defence cleared, Loury marked and converted after the siren. Tyquin was superb for the Bulls, while Bevan Malloy was also outstanding. Kristian Bliesner rucked the entire last half after Grant Goodall went off injured and was sensational. Despite a slow start, Duncan Proud was excellent after quarter time, while David Hirst and Paxton also were fantastic. Mt Eliza will fancy its chances against Frankston YCW. The Redlegs will have to do it without Westcott, who injured his shoulder, but they’ll get Lloyd back. Karingal should have Burke back in the side for the do-or-die first semi-final showdown with Bonbeach at Pines. In the Reserves, Langwarrin was able to hang on against a fast-finishing Mt Eliza and in Under-18s, Frankston YCW was too strong for Seaford. The winner of Mt Eliza versus Frankston YCW goes into the grand final, the loser plays the winner of Bonbeach versus Karingal.

Dromana into GF, Hastings bows out NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt DROMANA moved into the 2012 Nepean Division grand final with a thrilling two-point victory against Sorrento in the second semi-final at Rosebud on Saturday. On Sunday, Hastings bowed out of the final race, beaten by seven points by Rye. While the Tigers head into the big one, a massive showdown looms between Sorrento and Rye in the preliminary final this Saturday at Rosebud. After a tense battle all afternoon, Dromana was able to kick clear by 14 points at the 20-minute mark of the final quarter after a clever banana kick goal from the boundary by Keiran Voelkl and a running goal from Steve Gaertner. At this point in the match, with the Tigers full of running and the crowd heavily involved, Dromana appeared to have done enough to win. However, right up until the final siren at the 30-minute mark, Sorrento came back strongly and was dominating play. Goals to Troy Schwarze and Dalton Sanderson reduced the margin to two points with just five minutes left on the clock. The ball remained in the Sharks’ forward half for the rest of the match. With just a minute to go, Sanderson marked strongly against the goal post and was placed on the boundary five metres out from goal. Confronting a near-impossible angle, he rightly opted
for a banana kick, which went across the face of goal and out of bounds on the full. This was the last roll of the dice for the Sharks and Dromana held on to win. It wasn’t the greatest of semi-finals as the game was littered with mistakes; not only by players, but also by umpires. The lack of consistency by the three umpires was extremely frustrating for everyone at the ground. Even more frustrating were the skill errors from both sides, with Dromana dominated the “ineffective” statistic. There is no question the intensity of a final brings added pressure and skill levels are affected, but when the game was there to be won in the final quarter, Dromana had no idea how to finish off the opposition. They continued to kick into contested areas, allowing Sorrento to get numbers and clear the ball. Early in the match, when Dromana kicked four of the first five goals, the team moved the ball quickly and deep into the forward line, which didn’t allow the Sorrento backs to leave their men and support each other. However, Sorrento’s midfield pressure lifted and Dromana began to go short. For a time in the last quarter when Dromana kicked two goals clear, the Tigers again got the ball in long and quickly. Sorrento controlled the game from the 15-minute mark of the first quarter to the 15-minute mark of the third quarter. But Sharks led by only 12 points at
half-time and trailed by five points at the last change. Scott Cameron was dominating in the middle, Daniel Grant, who was best on ground, won clearances at will, and Grant Johnson and Jonny Casper started to take control at the stoppages. The Sharks forward half looked dangerous with Ben Schwarze leading well and looking strong, Brent Kenyon making Rikki Johnson more accountable than the last time they played, and Sanderson getting involved. However, they were still unable to kick goals. At three-quarter time, one sensed the Dromana players couldn’t cough the footy up any more if they wanted to win. Sorrento was playing pretty well, but just couldn’t score. The Tigers back line was first class all afternoon and was the reason Dromana won. Rikki Johnson repelled countless attacks, Jay Neratzoglou restricted Schwarze, Jarred Wood was solid across half-back and when he went into the middle, Shaun Clarke provided enormous drive, and Daniel Lee was given a tagging role and did it extremely well. Ryan Slocombe and Stevey Gaertner worked their way into the game late in the third in the middle of the ground, and forwards Jay Hutchison, Anthony Bruhn and Jedd Savage got on their bikes and lifted their work rate when it mattered. Dromana played the more ordinary footy of the two sides, but still won. Coach Gavin Artico put it down to “character and will”. “It has taken a lot of time and ef-
fort to get everyone to understand the work required to get to a grand final,” he said. “Now, we can all see that it [hard work] can pay off. “We have been presented with an opportunity to win a grand final – an opportunity, that is all!” Dromana lost Beau McMurray with what appeared to be a back or hip injury in the third quarter. He has two weeks to recover. Terry Wheeler will definitely be back, while Adam Hunter missed with an abdominal injury and is a 50-50 chance to get back. Sorrento seemed to get through the game unscathed, although Mitch Nibbs left the field in the second quarter holding his ribs, only to come back on after half-time. In the Reserves, Frankston Bombers went straight into the grand final with a comfortable 38-point win over Dromana. In the Under-18s, Red Hill inflicted Somerville’s first loss of the season, beating the Eagles by 26 points. The Hillmen booted 8.2 to 4.9 in the second half.
First semi-final A SIX-goal third quarter was the difference between Hastings and Rye on Sunday at Somerville. While many believe umpiring may have influenced the result, Hastings coach Glenn Michie said it was his team’s inability to play consistent footy over four quarters that cost them. “You’ve been writing it all year,
Toey; we just don’t work hard enough defensively and this happened again in the third quarter,” Michie said. “We were four goals down at threequarter time and it was always going to be tough from there. “We talked about it every week pregame and during the breaks – when there is a turnover or they [the players] hear the whistle, we’ve got to push back hard. “We just don’t do it often enough and it hurt us in the end.” Hastings came storming back in the last quarter with two long bombs from Paul Rogasch and the Blues hit the front when Michie marked, received a 50-metre penalty for late contact (pictured below) and goaled. But the Demons were able to settle and get over the line by seven points. Justin Van Unen was sensational with nine goals, while Ben and Sean Cain were inspirational across the four quarters. In the Reserves, Somerville completed the expected and had a strong win over Devon Meadows. Ben Crowe booted five goals and Todd Farrelly three, while Guy Austin and Stephen Crowe shone. The Eagles will now take on Dromana. In the Under-18s, Sorrento advanced to the preliminary final with a 12-goal win against Rye. The Sharks play Somerville this week with the chance to advance and play Red Hill in the big dance.

Blossoming tea tree sign of fishing days ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro FISHO have been champing at the bit, waiting for this cold and wet winter to end – and for the wicked wind from the north to abate. Tea tree is blossoming, winter is over and the AFL is into the finals. It’s time to go and catch some fish! Fishing bridges the footy and cricket seasons, and as with the two sports, preparation and preseason are the keys to success in the peak of the season. One of my old coaches used to tell me that if you take short cuts, you’re only cheating yourself. Based on his statement, here are my tips for a successful fishing season: 1. Make sure your gear is up to the job. So often I see people turning the catch of a lifetime into the one that got away. Make sure your reels are serviced, re-spooled and drags tested. Hooks should be sharp, new and free of rust. Check your fishing rods for cracks in the guides as these can fray lines as can missing ceramic inserts. Reel seats should be free of damage and still be able to firmly secure the reel to the rod. 2. Do your homework. Listen to boat ramp, pier and tackle shop banter, read fishing reports and then plan your piscatorial assault! There is no point fishing for fish that aren’t there. Time is precious in today’s society, so make the most of your fishing time. Match your fishing mission with fishing reports and weather forecasts. It’s better to wish you were on the water than to wish you were not.
your bait. For example, a strip of squid used as a whiting bait would be best presented on a long shank hook, while a pippie or mussel bait is best presented on a wide gape or sport circle hook. 4. My number one tip for a successful fishing season is make sure your fishing transport is up to the task. Boats need servicing, safety equipment needs inspecting, batteries need charging and trailers inspecting. I often see boats with flat batteries, dirty fuel and engines just refusing to start. But still the number one and two ramp failures are bungs and tie downs. Cars also need love; they require special attention for long journeys and towing. Brakes, tyres, batteries, engine and lights are just a few items to consider. We’ll expand on these themes in coming issues. Tight lines and calm seas.

Snap this: Our fishing writer Paul Pingiaro outside his boat hire shed in Mornington shows off a nice catch.
3. Bait up! Many keen anglers catch their own bait. This can be squid, nippers, mullet, garfish and others. If you take the time to get your own bait, make sure you store it correctly. This may mean vacuum bagging, salting or keeping alive.

Peninsula Division Qualifying final
Goalkicking woes BONBEACH coach Stevey Capp is running out of excuses for his team’s poor goalkicking. Last week he blamed the “tricky wind” at Mornington for his side’s 10.28. This week, he reckons it was a flat ball after his side booted 11.17 in the elimination final. “One of the players told me the ball was a bit flat, so we’ll go with that,” Capp said. “It has happened two weeks in a row and I’m running out of excuses. “The more you worry about it, the bigger the problem becomes I think.” Capp was ecstatic with his team’s eight-point win against Seaford, saying it had given the club some belief. “Our last finals campaign was in Nepean Division in 2004. I can’t remember our last finals campaign in Peninsula,” Capp said. “We want to change the perception of our club and I think we are making giant steps in achieving that.”
Teams of the year THE Peninsula and Nepean division teams of the year have been selected after some heavy deliberation. Eight coaches from Peninsula and 10 coaches from Nepean selected their teams of the year. There were 50 players selected in the Nepean side and 54 in the Peninsula team. In the end, 22 outstanding footballers who collected the most votes were chosen. You’d be pretty happy coaching either of them. The teams will be announced at an upcoming awards night.

There is no point in putting all that time and effort into bait gathering if you’re just not going to treat it right. If you buy frozen or market bait, make sure the eyes are clear and the bag is not full of frost. Match the hook size and selection to

Squid: The last week has been a little quiet on both bays for squid. Fishing has been hampered by the wind and rain and although the weekend was fine, the water was still quite murky. Flinders and Mornington piers have been best for a few inkers, while on the boats, Tyabb bank in Western Port is okay with squid to 1.5kg. Whiting: Although patchy, King George whiting to 45cm are in good numbers on the Tyabb bank and off Balnarring. Snapper: Snapper are starting to show in both bays. Best locations have been Eagle Rock in Western Port and off Carrum, Mornington and Mt Martha
Nepean Division
for Port Phillip. Best times have been the change of tide and best baits have been fresh squid or oily fish like pilchards, salmon, couta or red rockets. Garfish: Garfish are being caught off Mornington pier; best baits are silverfish. Anglers fishing out of Yaringa Boat Harbour are catching snapper, squid, couta, flathead, whiting and salmon. While the fishing has been patchy, as the water temperature heats up so will the action.
