Powerplay A GROUP of young people from Balnarring raised more than $4000 on Saturday to help a winery convert to low-energy lights and solar power. Eve Pawlik, Jet Sallmann, Joey De Backer, Minna Harrison and Eliza Anthony are part of Australian Youth Climate Coalition, which has been running a national campaign, “Repower Australia”, raising money to help businesses convert to renewable energy and demonstrate how investing in renewable, efficient resources is a feasible option. Highlights of the event included performances by Jet Sallmann, Kodo Motif, Lucky, Esther Holt band, and Marty Williams and band, and talks by Sean Willmore of Thin Green Line Foundation and Frank Fitzgerald-Ryan, founder of Sustainability Street. The group hopes to show a wide range of people the benefits of sustainable living. The Balnarring AYCC Repower group is planning to have a stall at the Balnarring’s Sustainability Fair on 24 November.

Shop gang arrested By Keith Platt A SPECIAL police squad has arrested five boys thought to be involved in a gang that terrorised Hastings shopkeepers. The five, aged 10 to 14, will be charged with burglary after one of them allegedly stole two packets of cigarettes from inside a High St butcher’s shop. Police say the cigarettes were in a private room at the rear of the store. The theft occurred in daylight and was reported to police by a witness who saw one of the groups enter the back door of the shop.

The boys were arrested by police from the three-member STOP (Social Tasking Operations and Patrol) team, part of the Community Response Engagement and Social Tasking (CREST) strategy. The arrests were made on the team’s first day of deployment in Hastings and just days after shopkeepers were told to photograph or take CCTV footage of the gang. A team member, who did not want to be named, said the arrested boys “did not seem to be going to school”. Four of those arrested lived in Hastings and the fifth had recently moved

to Mornington. Police believe the five, who will appear in the children’s court, were not the only members of the gang causing trouble in Hastings. Hastings chamber of commerce coordinator Sarah Law said police had assured her that foot and bicycle patrols would be increased following reports of boys as young as eight “throwing rubbish, being rude toward shoppers, and causing damage to both property, private and council-owned, and products in stores”. In an email to chamber members, Ms Law said she had raised the issue at a meeting of Hastings Community

Action Safety Group on Tuesday 14 August, but was “not convinced that the police are taking the reports as seriously as we’d like them to”. “The police have asked that you do not call the station to put in reports, but instead call 000 and it will be sent to Hastings station via official means. This also means that it will be tracked and recorded through Victoria Police, so if there’s a large amount of reports I would hope that would alert the powers that Hastings needs more resources,” Ms Law said. “We want to keep Hastings as a safe and friendly place to shop; the last

thing anyone needs are any persons causing damage and exhibiting antisocial behaviour.” The police STOP team has been assigned to the Hastings area after spending three months at Rosebud and three months at Mornington. The team has an unmarked car and is partly financed by Mornington Peninsula Shire to tackle crime issues of concern to the particular community within which it is operating. The operation began six months ago, with a similar team being based in Frankston.

Environmental outlook: Richard and Charles Davidson on part of the Peninsula Hot Springs property earmarked for a bird sanctuary, wetlands and lodges.

Sanctuary plan for hot springs

PENINSULA Hot Springs has received $100,000 from the federal government to develop a bird sanctuary and wetlands. The project will be close to accommodation for up to 130 people in lodges and a guest house planned for the 17-hectare site in Springs Lane, Rye. Moonah trees are already being replanted around the proposed Cups Bird Sanctuary and Wetlands. The money being given to the hot springs comes from the government’s T-Qual (Tourism Quality) grant program. Hot springs director Richard David-

son said the project was a “pivotal engineering and landscaping elementâ€? in the hot springs 2001 master plan. “All planning permissions for the sanctuary and accommodation are already in place. The gardens will require a couple of years of settling, and then the accommodation will be able to commence,â€? fellow director Charles Davidson said. Walking tracks through the sanctuary would “facilitate indigenous flora and fauna education tours ‌ and later provide the vital access trails for a visually delightful walk of some 300 metres between the resort lodges and the

hot mineral spring pools of Peninsula Hot Springs�, Richard Davidson said. “The hot springs resort site plan ensures each lodge is carefully aligned to capture views of the lakes, streams, flora and fauna of The Cups Bird Sanctuary and Wetlands,� Charles Davidson said. Work on the sanctuary is scheduled to start before the end of the year. “By mid to end 2013, we should be in a position to start our first tours, however, it will take a couple of years until the lakes and streams and their surrounding plant and wildlife fully settle in,� Charles Davidson said.

TEEN DENTAL VOUCHERS ALSO BULK BILLED

No new jobs at BlueScope By Mike Hast THE joint venture between BlueScope Steel and Nippon Steel will not yield new jobs at the Western Port plant in the short term. But it will enable BlueScope to reduce its debt and give it a share of the growing Asian market. BlueScope is estimated to have about $580 million in debt and the joint venture will see net proceeds of about $540 million flow to the company as Nippon takes a 50 per cent stake in BlueScope’s Asian and North American businesses. BlueScope has operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia and Laos. The coated products market in Asia and North America is worth $40 billion a year. It’s a boost for the company and its shareholders and investors, but won’t see more production at BlueScope’s one remaining steel mill at Port Kembla in NSW, with analysts saying the steel used in the joint venture is highly unlikely to come from Australia. One analyst said margins in the steelmaking business were “razor thin” and the only way BlueScope would become more profitable was for the dollar to fall significantly and to cut more costs. Western Port plant manager Bob Pullein said “the establishment of a $US1.36 billion coated products joint venture with Nippon Steel, the world’s second-largest steelmaker, for our coated products business in Asia and the US is a great advance for BlueScope”.

Mr Pullein said the joint venture [to be called NS BlueScope Coated Products] was “a great vote of confidence in our strategy, global reach, capabilities and our people”. He said it would give the company “further financial flexibility to invest in growth opportunities”. BlueScope would upgrade two metal coating lines (Nos 4 and 6) at Western Port to produce the next generation of Zincalume and Colorbond steel products. “There is no question that our Australian business has had a difficult few years, but the benefits of the decisive action we took last year are beginning to flow through. “We are not out of the woods yet, and there is more work to do in improving productivity and returning to profitability, but we are turning the corner.” Mr Pullein said almost 700 employees and “alliance partners” were enrolled in a new ‘Lean Manufacturing’ initiative that would start in September. It would “provide employees with new skills and increased capability to deliver even further business improvements in being a quality, low-cost manufacturer”. BlueScope and Nippon have been working together for four years on new coatings for Zincalume and Colorbond that were more corrosion resistant. BlueScope’s manager of corporate affairs, Michael Reay, said the two companies had worked together for 40 years on 65 projects under a collaborative technology agreement. The company would spend about

A TREE planted on the foreshore to mark the 150th anniverary of the gazetting of Hastings has been destroyed by vandals. The tree was planted on 14 October 2011 by 98-year-old Roy Greive and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s young citizen of the year, Kayla Bentley, both Hastings residents. The tree was a Wildfire (Corymbia maculata), named so for its vibrant red flowers. A tree guard was placed around it to prevent vandalism, but it has not prevented the destruction of the tree. “I can hardly believe seeing the devastation of the tree,” said Hastings-Western Port Historical Society past president Shirley Davies whose

group organised the tree planting. “The tree was meant to be a permanent reminder of the 150th occasion of the gazetting and to be a thing of beauty for the residents and those of the future.” The tree was planted near the so-called Perrott tree (visible in the background of the picture), which was planted by Shirley Davies’s greatgrandmother in 1902 outside what was then the town’s butcher shop and near where the shire office is now located. “That tree is still thriving, although an old lady now. Did the past generation value their heritage more?” Mrs Davies asked. No other trees in the area were damaged.

Suspended radio host on RPP CONTROVERSIAL talk show presenter JohnMichael Howson has some spare time after being suspended from 3AW for a month and will co-host a radio show in Mornington on Thursday morning. Howson, 76, was suspended after screaming on air: “Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!’’ when Julian Assange’s mother Christine Assange came on air for an interview and immediately condemned

Howson’s treatment of the previous guest, Sam Castro from the Wikileaks Australian Citizens Alliance regarding Ecuador’s decision to grant political asylum to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Howson will co-host the last hour of Sugar & Spice, RPP’s long-running showbiz program presented by Bob Phillips and Judy Banks from 9-11am.

Guy plan will wreck green wedge: expert By David Harrison GREEN wedge zones will be wrecked by the state government’s “ideologically driven� planning proposals, Professor Michael Buxton has told a community meeting at Eltham. Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s plans, if implemented, “are going to change the face of Melbourne,� Professor Buxton said. “It will wreck much of Melbourne’s historic strip centres and that will be a loss to us all. They are a critical part of our heritage and our children’s heritage and it will similarly wreck green

wedges over 20 or 30 years.� Professor Buxton, Professor of Planning at RMIT University, said green wedge councils would be “subtly pressured to alter their subdivision controls and bring in more rural residential subdivisions�. The proposed changes were “the biggest, most fundamental changes ever to the planning system in the history of this state. They are truly fundamental�. “This is ideologically driven; it is the result of activities from half a dozen powerful vested interest groups and they mean business,� he said.

“So the real issue is what can be done about this and I think a lot can be done about it. Community groups and individuals can make their voices heard. It may not achieve anything by 21 September (the deadline for submissions on the Guy plans), but there’s two years to the next election.� The government had given candidates in local government elections on 27 October “a huge platform to run on�, he said. Mr Guy and Premier Ted Baillieu were “putting their head in a noose: it’s quite wide at the moment, but nooses

can be drawn in. It’s up to the community to draw the noose inâ€?. Professor Buxton said it was clear someone had done “a really good hatchet job on green wedge. Who?â€? He named: ď Ž Victorian Farmers’ Federation. ď Ž Right-wing think tanks. ď Ž New ministerial advisers “who don’t believe in government doing anything – a new breed of deregulatorsâ€?. ď Ž Two departments – “agriculture, with its far-right agricultural economistsâ€? and tourism, “which sees green wedge controls as inhibiting tourism

development in green wedges and along the coastâ€?. ď Ž The property industry – the Victorian division of the Property Council of Australia “is working very hardâ€? for deregulation. “These are powerful groups ... and then there is you,â€? he told his Eltham audience of about 50, including Greens leaders and local councillors. “But remember, Baillieu got in [to government] by 250 votes in one seat. People and groups have a say. People generally don’t understand the proposals. They eventually will.â€?

Ceremony marks Malta’s relief By James Taylor THE 70th anniversary of Operation Pedestal, the naval operation that on 15 August 1942 brought supplies to the besieged island of Malta in the Mediterranean during the Second World War, was commemorated at Dromana Peninsula Club on 12 August. The operation was a major turning point in the Mediterranean theatre of the war. In April 1942 King George had already awarded Malta the George Cross for the bravery of its civilians who had endured a long blockade by the Axis powers of Germany and Italy. Military planners knew Malta would be forced to surrender if fuel, grain and ammunition did not get through as there was only two weeks of supplies. The convoy involved 14 merchant vessels guarded by 64 warships including battleships, cruisers, aircraft carri-

ers and destroyers. The island and its British naval base were staring down the barrel of surrender when the relief convoy limped into port, allowing Malta to go on to play a crucial role in the invasion of Italy The task of getting ships into Grand Harbour was made hazardous when the crippled tanker Ohio was sunk soon after fuel had been offloaded. The island was saved and other convoys followed, but a high price was paid with the loss of nine of 14 merchant ships, the two cruisers Manchester and Cairo, the aircraft carrier Eagle, the destroyer Foresight as well as many vessels damaged. Attending the 70th anniversary at the former RSL in Dromana were the Consul-General of Malta, Charles Mifsud; the national president of the RSL, Rear Admiral (retired) Ken Doolan; RAN chaplain Rev Graeme Watkin-

son; Alan Day, Knight Commander of St John of Malta; Michael Montebello of Merchant Navy Association Malta; Lou Spiteri, Ex Servicemen’s Association Malta; Max Bryant, president of Navy Dolphins and Oberon Society; members of the Royal Navy, Royal Australian Navy, Merchant Navy, war veterans; and members of the peninsula’s Maltese community. Mr Montebello talked about the convoy, Rev Watkinson led a service of prayers and navy hymns, and Rear Admiral Doolan gave the Ode. A bugler performed the Last Post. Later, Consul-General Mifsud gave a talk about the war and suffering of the Maltese community, which had been bombed every day and night for more than five months. ď Ž James Taylor is national secretary of the Merchant Navy War Service League.

Election time, no question about it QUESTION time at Mornington Peninsula Shire council meetings will be suspended during the council’s “caretaker period� from midnight on 25 September to 6pm on election day, 27 October. It means the public will not be able to ask questions, election-related or otherwise, for two council meetings. Explaining the suspension, shire governance manager Noel Buck told the council on 13 August – in answer to a question – that “Public questions will likely include electoral matter, which should not be considered during the election caretaker period�. This would ensure that “councillors as candidates and councillors in general have a level playing field with any other candidates in the council election�. Cr Graham Pittock asked Mr Buck: “Why not just decline to answer these questions?� Shire CEO Michael Kennedy responded that councillors or candidates might get any number of their friends each to ask the allowable two questions per meeting, cleverly phrased so that officers might answer them, unaware that they gave an advantage to one candidate over another. Mr Buck did not respond to a question of whether suspending question time was required under the Electoral Act. The News sought an answer from another governance manager, Nick Andrianis of Monash Council: “Public question time is unaffected by the ‘election period’. There is no provision in the Meeting Procedures Local Law No 1 to suspend

public question time at ordinary meetings of council during this period.â€? The Electoral Act is silent on the matter. Mornington Peninsula Shire has not suspended question time in the past, but at least one councillor has said question time should be abolished. Mr Andrianis said the councillor code of conduct guided councillors’ behaviour during the caretaker period. Federal, state and local governments have caretaker periods. Victoria’s Department of Planning and Community Development says: “[They] broadly aim to avoid the use of public resources in a way that may unduly affect the election result and minimise councils making certain types of decisions that may unduly limit the decision-making ability of the incoming council. “By law, a council may not make the following types of decisions, either directly or by delegation, during an election period: ď Ž Decisions relating to the employment or remuneration of a permanent CEO. ď Ž Decisions to enter into contracts that are valued at more than $150,000 (for purchase of goods or services) or $200,000 (for carrying out of works) or one per cent of the council’s revenue from rates (whichever is the greater). ď Ž Decisions to enter into entrepreneurial ventures that are valued at more than $100,000 or one per cent of the council’s revenue from rates and charges levied (whichever is the greater).

VICTORIAN National Parks Association and the Environment Defenders Office have joined forces with three 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 “broad-scale 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. “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. The peninsula seminar is being run in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, Blue Wedges Coalition, and Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association.

Candidate’s clean-up campaign By Keith Platt JOHN Antoine goes about Hastings staring at graffiti. He finds it messy and believes it lowers the tone of the place. He’s also offended by graffiti that’s sexually explicit or derogatory of someone. Mr Antoine has spent a lot of time cleaning up graffiti. He doesn’t mind volunteering to do the job, but sometimes feels he is alone in his dedication. This feeling especially manifests itself when evaluating the results of his time spent with Mornington Peninsula Shire officers lobbying for them to clean up the town. Mr Antoine’s one-man anti-graffiti campaign has “reached a stalemate”. “I’ve had five meetings with shire officers since February, but I don’t believe the shire is even remotely interested in the problem,” he says. Mr Antoine’s next move may be on to the council. “I’m trying to be part of the solution, but I’m being fobbed off again. “I’ve got to stand for the council now – I’ll have more than one policy – but what could be of more interest than cleaning up the town? “I’m at the end of my tether.” Mr Antoine believes Frankston and Kingston councils have better graffiti policies and wants to see the shire appoint a graffiti prevention officer. He says many people urged him to stand for the council while he was doorknocking to collect signatures for a petition demanding council action on graffiti.

The 700-plus signature petition was subsequently tabled at council “without debate”, he says, while suggesting that council should send a written response to every signatory. Mr Antoine has a file of correspondence with the shire going back several years and claims of “being lied to”. “That’s why I did the petition, because I didn’t believe all the things they said. “I never went around bagging the shire, but its local law is not effective.” Mr Antoine says graffiti clean-up kits supplied by the shire are not effective and has volunteered to “do the job myself” if the shire will provide the right equipment and cover his insurance costs. He said the shire told him the Department of Justice would provide clean-up teams of convicted offenders “but I’ve not seen any of these people around”. On Monday a Department of Justice spokesman told The News that a memorandum of understanding was being negotiated with the shire. He felt a clean-up team would be working in the shire “shortly” but could not set a date. Teams of up to 11 offenders had been working to clean up graffiti in Frankston since late 2005. The shire describes graffiti as being “the deliberate act of marking words or images on property without the permission of the owner” as opposed to “commissioned works of ‘urban’ or ‘street’ art”. A shire fact file says that under the Victorian Graffiti Prevention

Had enough: If elected to council, John Antoine will be working for an organisation he believes does not take graffiti seriously.

Act 2007 “graffiti attracts maximum fines of more than $29,000 and up to two years’ imprisonment” and also restricts sales of spray paint. Ways to avoid graffiti on private property include using textured, rough or non-solid materials for fences or walls; painting solid surfaces in dark colours; planting shrubs or trees in front of graffiti-prone areas; and using sensor lighting where appropriate. “The rapid removal of graffiti is important as it aids in both determent and removal,” the shire states. “The longer the graffiti remains, the more offenders are ‘rewarded’ with

increased recognition – rapid removal tends to discourage further attacks by lessening the impact of the graffiti. “Rapid removal also increases township amenity and helps the community feel safe and well cared for.” The fact file also reminds “residents and businesses” that they are “responsible for the removal of graffiti from their own properties”. The shire provides free graffiti removal kits and $15 discount vouchers to buy paint (from two outlets, one in Sorrento and one in Frankston). The shire suggests reporting graffiti to police.

“If you are witnessing an act of graffiti vandalism, and you telephone ‘000’ to report details of the offence being underway, police will attend asap and may be able to arrive while the offenders are still present,” the fact file states. “If you have information about offenders responsible for graffiti vandalism, phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Anonymity is guaranteed and there are cash rewards of up to $1000 if information leads to an arrest. “You may also provide information about graffiti vandals in the Western Port region to the police at Hastings on 5970 7800.”

Protection for station as MP shies away from questions 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 state government has allocated $212 million to recruit, train and deploy PSOs at every metropolitan train station and Frankston is the 13th station to get PSOs. 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. Frankston MP Geoff Shaw yesterday (Monday) said the PSOs were trained to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour at railway stations. “The latest deployment of Protective Services Officers (PSOs) 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 station. 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. “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 the PSOs has necessitated the upgrading of 66 railway stations.

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. The 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

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.

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.â€? In an age of seeming absence of true heroes of substance to inspire generations, one has just passed. ď Ž Dr Peter Skilton is secretary of Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society.

Turtle toll rises along with temperature SEVEN dead green turtles have been found on Port Phillip beaches in the past eight weeks. One of the turtles appeared to have struggled ashore at Rosebud but died soon after. Another dead turtle was washed ashore at Shelley Beach on Phillip Island, bringing the total to eight, about four times the normal count for this time of the year, according to Judy Muir of Sorrento-based Polperro Dolphin Swims. Ms Muir said autopsies would be conducted on the Rosebud and Phillip Island turtles to try to establish what caused their deaths. The shells of two of the turtles were more than 40cm across. A “report card” on Marine Climate Change in Australia, released on 17 August by the CSIRO, noted that the Eastern Australian Current (EAC) was extending southward, “leading to fast warming”. “Increasing water temperatures are likely to have an impact on the distribution of marine mammals and seabirds; ranges of both tropical and temperate species are likely to move southwards,” the report stated. The CSIRO-led report was compiled with data from more than 80 Australian marine scientists from 34 universities and research organisations. “Southward range extensions have been documented for seaweeds, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and demersal and pelagic fishes,” the report said. “Declining recruitment for rock lobster has been observed. Fisheries and aquaculture businesses are already adapting to these changes. “The intensification of flow and accelerated warming observed in the EAC is also seen in other Southern Hemisphere western boundary current systems, driven by the strengthening and contraction south of Southern Hemisphere westerlies (wind), although regional responses mean rates of warming differ among systems. “A range of species, including plankton, fish and invertebrates, are now found further south

because of enhanced transport of larvae and juveniles in the stronger EAC and the high rate of regional warming.” The report predicted that flows of the Eastern Australian Current would continue to strengthen. Keith Platt

Archibald’s a prize for gallery By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery will host next year’s travelling exhibition of finalists in the prestigious Archibald Prize. This year’s Archibald exhibition was at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Healesville and brought an estimated $4 million to the town in the Yarra Valley. The exhibition was at TarraWarra last year, too. Works by the 41 Archibald finalists were on display for a month from 8 June to 8 July and drew more than 50,000 people to Healesville. The month-long exhibition in Mornington in 2013 will attract art lovers from around the state and Melbourne, and bring millions of dollars to the peninsula’s economy. It also will expose the delights of the peninsula to people who have not previously visited the region. The Archibald Prize is conducted by the Art Gallery of NSW. It is regarded as Australia’s foremost portraiture award and attracts national interest and controversy. Susanne Briggs of the Art Gallery of NSW confirmed MPRG would be the only Victorian gallery to host the Archibald exhibition. MPRG director Jane Alexander said Mornington Peninsula Shire would make a formal announcement about the Archibald next year. MPRG is seen in the art world as a gallery that punches well above its weight. Recent successful exhibitions have included Sea of dreams: The lure of Port Phillip Bay 1830-1914, Controversy: The power of art, and exhibitions of work by Ivan Durrant, Robin Boyd, Louis Buvelot and Jeffrey Smart. Established in 1969 by the Shire of Mornington as Mornington Peninsula Arts Centre, its first home was a house in Vancouver St, Mornington, later demolished and now a car park behind the library and shire office. It moved to the council-owned Victorian-era house Oak Hill on Mornington-Tyabb Rd in 1971. The existing gallery in Civic Reserve was built in 1991 and opened by then premier John Cain. Oak Hill is now a community art gallery. One of the driving forces behind the gallery’s establishment in 1969 was artist, art critic and author Alan McCulloch of Shoreham, who was its director 1979-1992. As has occurred at TarraWarra, the exhibition coming to Mornington will present major logistical challenges. Limited parking in Healesville has

seen use of shuttle buses from distant parking areas and a similar scheme will need to be used at Mornington. Marquees will likely be erected in the grounds to service patrons. The exhibition in Healesville saw long queues of patrons waiting to enter the gallery. News of the Archibald exhibition follows the outgoing president of the Friends of the gallery expressing disappointment at the slow pace of a promised expansion. Emeritus Professor Boris Schedvin, in his final report to the Friends’ annual meeting in June, said “my disappointment is that so little progress has been made in the mooted redevelopment of the gallery”. “Almost five years ago [Mornington Peninsula] Shire initiated a planning process for the Civic Reserve. Planning for the redevelopment of the gal-

lery was part of that process,” he said. “Despite a considerable amount of work by the previous and current director, there is little current prospect of tangible progress. “Financing is the roadblock. “As I write, it appears that the [Southern Peninsula] Aquatic Centre at Rosebud will absorb the shire’s capital funds for an extended period. “I wish the incoming committee well in supporting the gallery’s quest for adequate facilities.” No plans for the gallery are included in stage one of the implementation of the shire’s long-term master plan for Civic Reserve. The first stage includes an upgrade of David Collings Leisure Centre to create space for gymnastic, table tennis, childcare, meeting rooms and administration, and a new 12-court tennis complex for Mornington Tennis Club.

Whales strike a pose for the camera THE surf was small but the rewards were great when Mark Hill found himself the centre of attraction for two whales. While surfing at Portsea on a Saturday late last month, Mr Hill was surprised at how close the whales came when he and a friend paddled to the outside of the break. “They were about 30 metres outside of the surf break. The waves were small so that’s maybe why they came in so close,” he said. “I’ve seen more whales than usual

this year, but these were the closest yet,” said Mr Hill, a regular surfer. He was carrying a small waterproof digital video camera, which he held underwater when the whales came close. “I didn’t really know how close they were until I got home and replayed the footage,” he said. “At one stage they came right under my board, which felt a bit scary. “But it was a good experience – one that you don’t get every day.”

Just looking: Rye surfer Mark Hill took this underwater shot of two whales just beyond the break at Portsea.

What can happen on the road WE all like to think we are doing the right thing when on the road with our caravan behind us, but are we complying strictly to the letter of the law? Some of the feedback we have received or know about includes the following: Chains: Have you crossed your chains when you hooked up the caravan to the vehicle? By crossing the chains you have created an extra sling to enable the caravan to be suspended by if it inadvertently comes off the towball. This may happen if the caravan coupling lock is not correctly set, or the hitch pin breaks or is removed by someone (it does happen sometimes) or the towball comes loose. Towball: Most of you have at some time realised that the towball has worked itself loose when you have been travelling. Normally it will only do this when it does not have enough grease but with the added pressure of weight distribution bars, it may also happen. Always keep the towball well greased as the friction will often wear out the inside of the caravan coupling, which is an unseen area. A towball cover at only $2 will keep grease on the towball. Rear signs: As most caravan/vehicle combinations are more than 7.5 metres in

SPRING SPECIALS length consider putting a “Do not overtake turning vehicle� sign on the rear of your caravan (law in most states) We have them in our shop for $25 each. Mirrors: If your caravan is more than 15cm (7in) outside the extremities of your vehicle, you must have additional mirrors on the vehicle. The left-hand mirror, being convex, may suffice but you will definitely need a right-hand mirror. The best ones are fitted to the door frame but some of the ones that fit on your existing mirror are fairly good. We use a suction one on the left-hand side that adjusts with the existing mirror and does not vibrate like some of the others. Electrical leads: We have

heard that some caravan parks are requesting that the external 15-amp lead be tested and tagged. It is always good to have this lead tested as it is in the weather and subject to damage from vehicles and foot traffic. They really only need to be tested every 12 months unless damaged or the plugs are replaced. U-Tow Caravans can service your caravan and we are now qualified to do test and tag on electrical appliances. We also have a wide range of caravan accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.

THE Whisperer was delighted to be passed a piece of correspondence to this newspaper. Surprised at the spirit of cooperation, and having a renewed feeling of being part of “team Western Port News”, the Whisperer tore it open and began to read. It was in relation to a story previously published by the newspaper about the deplorable situation on the Graydens Rd and Boes Rd intersection where there are accidents with more frequency than the Whisperer cares to count. It went as follows: “I have friends who 10 months ago moved into their property at that intersection. In that time they have had three cars crash into their fence and onto their property, and have also witnessed other accidents on the road outside. “Being a horse property they are wondering how long it will be before one of their horses is killed or badly injured.” Here, here, said the Whisperer, clutching the letter. At last someone has put the issue in perspective. All this talk about humans being killed and injured, and we’d totally overlooked the horses. *** ANOTHER weekend, and another bout of destruction in Hastings. Jack Babbington Park opposite the football ground badly vandalised, shop windows smashed on High St, and a basin smashed in the public toilets on King St. The Whisperer noticed a story on the rampaging kiddies in another newspaper accompanied by a police officer standing in High St with a grim look on his face. One wonders if he required GPS to find High St. *** MUCH chatter around town about the Reject Shop coming in. The whisper is that it will

accompany Aldi in a new building to be built next to Kmart. The Whisperer wonders if Aldi coming to Hastings means the company doesn’t intend to build in Somerville anymore. After the battle to get the land in Somerville, one would think the compnay was duty-bound to do so. *** THE whisper (as reported in last week’s Western Port News) is that the Port of Hastings has taken up office space on the second story above BTRE. Is the decision taking into account planned sea-level rise due to global warming? Will the Port of Hastings Development Authority build any planned port infrastructure one storey higher to account for the claimed water rise? *** THE Whisperer was somewhat horrified in recent days when perusing a furniture chain catalogue. Among the features of certain items of furniture was listed “faux wood”. Now, the Whisperer admits to being old-fashioned, but there was a time when something being faux wood was not an attribute, but rather a significant drawback. What a strange world we live in when it is desirable to have furniture made out of fake wood, rather than real wood. The only permissable “faux” would have to be fur, which is much more desirable than the natural product. Dwelling on this, the Whisperer was reminded of an incident in a crowded Spotlight store. There was a bench piled high with rolls of faux fur. A little tacker ran in, pointed and yelled at the top of his voice, “Look mummy, puppy dogs! thewhisperer@y7mail.com

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Charm of a bygone era RECREATING the characteristics of a classic period in Australian architecture, this New England-style homestead has broad verandahs to watch the sunrise and high ceilings that feature gable windows and allow for handy attic space. As you meander down a trim gravel drive, flanked by evergreen shrubs, the home sits amid open lawns with the 8092-square metre (two-acre) block flanked by tall native trees on all sides to form the property’s boundary. There is something magical here from the first moments; it could be the pleasant rural atmosphere, the sensation of light and space or the soaring high ceilings. The home has three bedrooms, and from the main bedroom there is access to the bathroom. Perhaps for the mature treechange couple, the home works well as two bedrooms and a study. The main living area is set across two levels with a stepdown lounge surrounded by balustrades and highlighted by a charming bluestone fireplace. For convenience there is a reverse-cycle air-conditioner. Slate tiles give the remodelled kitchen and dining area an extra lift and there are quality stainless-steel appliances including a 900mm underbench oven and dishwasher. A few steps away is a massive timber deck that is sure to be the centre of activities during the warmer months. Overlooking the grounds, the deck extends to form a timber path leading to a massive garage and entertainment complex with concrete slab, gantry, power and bar.

Unit with space to please

Colour your world

MAKE sure you inspect this spotlessly presented two-bedroom unit that is close to the marina, pool and High Street shops. For a unit, there is a surprising amount of space; the kitchen has plenty of under-bench storage, a large pantry and an upright stove. The adjoining dining area can accommodate a decent-sized table. Both living areas are highlighted by delightful bay windows that flood the interior with natural light. The equally large master bedroom has a ceiling fan and for all the extra bedroom furniture one acquires, there is room for that as well. The splendid bathroom has a separate shower and bath, a large vanity and toilet. Along one side of the unit is an undercover courtyard and further around the back is a single garage.

JUST metres from the shores of Somers Beach, this home offers luxurious living space with an exquisite blend of styles and impressive entertaining options. Architect-designed, the top floor includes a family area with access to a balcony and three bedrooms including the main bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in robe. At ground level is a versatile space that offers flexible living zones, perfect for casual entertaining or formal dining. A wellappointed kitchen has granite benchtops and a pantry, and in the formal lounge room a gas log fire creates a cosy ambience. For convenience, ducted heating and cooling is available at the flick of a switch. A third living room adjoins a home office, which has a separate entrance. The superb outdoor entertaining area has as its centrepiece a solar heated, salt-chlorinated pool with self-cleaning system, which has been perfectly sited to receive the sun all day long. There is no shortage of car parking with two double garages at the end of a concrete driveway.

HISTORY

Farewell to a Flinders legend Eric Alexander Lucas died on 10 August, aged 91. He was a third generation fisherman from Flinders and a golfer of more than modest ability. Before he died, The News recorded some of his recollections. This is his story.

Part 1 MY grandfather, Alexander Lucas, arrived at Flinders in the 1890s and built the first of the fishermen’s cottages on the foreshore near the jetty. There were five cottages on land leased from the federal government for one pound a year. Alex Lucas was born in Port Melbourne and had limited schooling. He started work with a Chinese engineer who taught him many skills that were a great help later in life. After his teenage years he worked at the Collingwood gasworks. He became foreman and took the liberty of visiting his sister and brother-in-law at St Leonards each weekend. This required him to leave work at lunchtime on Friday, getting back on Tuesday morning. After a few weeks, the manager told him he had to be at work on Monday mornings or he would lose his job. My grandfather arrived at work one Tuesday to discover his manager had followed through with the threat. After learning he was not as indispensable as he thought, Alex joined his brother-in-law, Charles Newman, a North Sea trawlerman, who was well established as a fisherman at St Leonards. They fished the St Leonards fishing grounds for some time before moving to Queenscliff and then to Rye where they built two houses close together where the present township of Rye is located. From there they were able to send their catch to Melbourne via the Rosebud ketch. While he was living at Rye, Alex Lucas heard about the abundance of fish in the Flinders area, so he and Charles Newman loaded a dinghy

and nets onto a horse-drawn wagon and ventured overland to check it out. They were amazed to find not only a safe harbour, but a pier that had been built to service the cable station, which controlled the underwater telegraph cable to Tasmania. The pier was

also used to provide provisions to the small township as there was no road to Melbourne. My grandfather was also impressed by the abundance of fresh fish and crayfish, and the possibility of access to Melbourne markets with the extension of the railway line from Frankston to Stony Point via Bittern, only 12 miles from Flinders. Alex and his brother-in-law brought their couta boats around from Rye and operated in Bass Strait during the crayfish season, which lasted from 1 December to 1 June. Charles Newman subsequently moved to Newha-

ven where he netted fish successfully during the winter months, returning to Flinders for the summer season. The partnership came to an end when Charles moved to Inverloch, and then to Lakes Entrance. Alex found that the skills he had been taught by the Chinese engineer at Port Melbourne were of great value during the winter months when the weather made it impossible to catch crays in Bass Strait. He set up a forge with anvil, bellows and other equipment to make metalcapped wheels or rims for jinkers and wagons. Soon his services were in such demand that it was difficult to find time for fishing. My grandfather soon started to build a permanent residence on the beach

front, which he named “Bayview”. In 1893 his wife, Elizabeth, and their two children joined him from Rye. My grandparents lived at Bayview all their lives, and raised 12 children. As the family grew, the house was extended. It was a happy and healthy environment for the children to grow up in. The family had two cows for cream, milk and butter, they grew their own vegetables, and a good supply of fresh seafood was always available. The nearest doctor and hospital were at Mornington, 20 miles (32km) away, but were only used in extreme cases. A local midwife looked after all other medical problems. As soon as the boys were old enough, my grandfather took them fishing, teaching them the art of boat

handling and the ways of the sea. This enabled his two eldest sons – Alex (my father) and Sam – to take over the boats and crayfishing at an early age, and this allowed my grandfather to concentrate on his other interests, particularly the workshop. When the war started in 1914, two of the boys, Sam and Charles, enlisted and served overseas in the army. After the Armistice in 1918, Sam and my father bought a larger crayboat, The Newhaven, and resumed fishing. Around this time, my grandfather had a serious accident with an adze while he was shaping timber. The adze slipped and he received a severe wound to his instep, which troubled him for the rest of his life. While grandfather was laid up with the injured leg, Alex and Sam continued fishing as well as helping their parents. Alex and Sam had married and eventually decided to go their own ways, selling The Newhaven and all the fishing gear. Sam left for Cohuna to take up a Soldier Settlement block, but after a few years returned to Flinders to open a garage and run a passenger service to Melbourne. He raised his family in Flinders and lived there until his death. My grandfather’s injury gradually healed and he was able to concentrate on his other interests. He was on the committee of the Bass Park Trust, which controlled the lower part of the golf links; this was Crown land leased

to Flinders Golf Club. (Earlier in the century my grandfather had helped organise voluntary labour for construction of the golf course.) The trust’s responsibility also included a camping ground in the West Head area, which catered for about 20 families. They lived in tents during the summer and, as ranger for the trust, it was grandfather’s job to record details and collect the dues. He was also a member of several other committees including the cemetery trust and the progress association. With no more demand on his time for fishing, grandfather was able to operate his forge and workshop to bring in sufficient money. The following years were happy ones for my grandparents; with their family grown up, they were able to spend more time together. In 1929, my grandmother died, and grandfather was devastated. His youngest daughter Louise and her husband Charles Austin moved to Bayview to help take care of him. Grandfather’s only work now was to carry out his tasks as ranger during the summer and rest up at home during winter. During the 1930s the injury to his instep deteriorated to such an extent that his leg had to be amputated. After the operation he returned to Bayview where he was cared for by family and visited by many friends. He was always alert and interested in everyday

events and had an extraordinary memory of past happenings. With the onset of the Second World War, it was necessary to take precautions at strategic points and the old fishermen’s cottages along the foreshore were demolished and replaced with barbed wire entanglements. The families had to move; grandfather went to live with Louise and Charles in Cook St. Eventually his health deteriorated to the point where his doctor considered he needed full-time medical care, and grandfather moved to Kingston Aged Care in Cheltenham where he lived until his death. After my father and brother sold The Newhaven, father started a carrying service, trucking fish and produce to the Bittern railway station for transport to Melbourne markets. He was granted an extended licence that enabled him to drive to Melbourne with goods and produce, and return with supplies for Flinders businesses. In 1935 the transport board was formed and set down conditions that he found impossible to cope with, so he returned to fishing. In the meantime he had bought some land and was able to run a small farm to complement his fishing.

Time to refresh building surfaces By Ross Waddell of Rosco’s Paint Place THIS issue I thought we’d tackle a real problem – chalky, weeping alkali, salt, lime scale and years of pollution – which is making your buildings and walls look dirty. It’s time to refresh the surfaces. Let the exterior have a new lease of life by using the new Paint Place Bold and Vivid colours to grab attention. A great product to use is E-B Emulsa-Bond. This product has an excellent track record. The job: After thoroughly cleaning the surfaces by hand brushing only and making sure all cracks and voids are taken care of, apply a 50-50 mixture of E-B Emulsa-Bond and acrylic paint. Apply by brush and roller. Emulsa-Bond will make the paint flow into all crevices and

pinholes on stonework and make the paint adhere tightly and evenly. Follow this with a top coat of quality acrylic Paint Place paint to complete the job. The result: With the use of E-B Emulsa-Bond, excellent coverage and solid hiding is achieved. With only two coats and without using a special sealer or binder, the paint will stay firm for years. It adheres tightly and resists cracking. The bottom line: E-B Emulsa-Bond should add years to the life expectancy of paint work. It will save the owner a substantial amount of money because the cost of sealers and binders is eliminated. For help with this job or any other, speak to Rosco and the experts at Hastings Paint Place. Until next edition, happy painting.

D& ENTERTAINMENT ʔʦLȫɏ

An open letter to the Treasurer of Australia By Stuart McCullough DEAR Wayne, We are from different generations, you and I. I’m just that little bit younger and, as a result, cannot count myself as part of the Springsteen Generation. While you claim you were “Born to Run”, in contrast, having grown up in the 1980s I am “born to Run-D.M.C.”. This means I am committed both to keeping it real and to kicking it oldschool style. Word up. And because I am a member of the hip-hop generation, allow me to give it to you straight. I like Bruce Springsteen. I even have a couple of his albums. I understand completely that people draw their inspiration from the most unlikely of sources and if I had you pegged more as a Popcorn-by-Hot-Butter-kind-of guy, then allow me to be the first to admit I was wrong. But Born to Run as your soundtrack to Whitlam’s dismissal? Please, Wayne, tell me that you’ve listened to the lyrics. Bruce’s timeless ode is a yearning piece of melodrama about getting the hell out of wherever it is you are. It wasn’t about running for office. It’s about running away. It is – to be precise – about putting the foot to the floor and tearing off in the opposite direction without so much as a backwards glance at the town you’re leaving behind. At its heart, the song is something of a monumental kiss-off.

Let’s be honest: as far as metaphors go, Born to Run is one big traffic accident, with image piled upon image, hopelessly confusing the listener until they are left begging for the saxophone solo to kick in. So twisted is the metaphorical wreck, that you’d need the jaws of life to have any hope of extracting anything resembling meaning. It starts off simply enough, as the tale of two star-crossed lovers plotting their escape from home into the broader world before things start to get a little weird in verse number two. Suddenly, a simple paean to skipping town metamorphosizes into an invitation to strap your hands around Bruce’s “engine”. Eeuwwww! Suddenly, Bruce himself is now some kind of car. As to precisely what make and model is left to the imagination, save that we know he has “velvet rims”.

Perhaps, Wayne, you think of Bruce as some kind of classic American muscle car like a Mustang. Whatever the make, there’s a good chance that he would have qualified under the Cash for Clunkers scheme. But it gets worse. After a first verse that’s all about cars and a second verse in which our hero turns into a car, the protagonists are ultimately forced to flee on foot. It’s right there in the title – Born to Run. Talk about a letdown! Whether Bruce’s engine isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be or whether the vehicle in question is modelled on the one that Fred Flintstone used to tear around Bedrock in is anybody’s guess. How far they get, how long they have to wait for roadside assistance and whether they’re within striking distance of a train are questions that never receive the benefit of an answer.

That’s because the song isn’t really about the words, Wayne. It’s about the glorious and unholy noise the E Street Band makes as their friend indulges in his pre-emptive Transformer Optimus Prime fantasy of one day turning into a car. It’s the band that really makes the song. I don’t begrudge you the right to love Springsteen. But to rely on The Boss to complain about rich people is, of itself, a bit rich. Particularly if your chief complaint is their ability to obtain a disproportionately large megaphone with which to distort the national debate. That you did so in magazine form and then in a televised lecture is so spectacular an irony that it’s difficult to know where to begin. That this has escaped you suggests there’s not nearly enough irony in your diet. Indeed, I would dare to suggest you’re suffering a serious irony deficiency. As great as Bruce is, for a solid dose of irony I would suggest you switch to Frank Zappa. Come to think of it, shouldn’t this nation’s economic spokesperson be promoting homegrown music rather than something from overseas? Maybe a blast of Lobby Loyde and the Coloured Balls or little bit of Sherbert? Buy local, Wayne. If you were truly taking your inspiration from New Jersey’s finest, you wouldn’t release an essay – you’d re-

lease an album. Not under your own name but under some kind of stage name. I’d suggest “Swan Lake”. As a tribute to your electorate, the opening track could be a take on the old Kinks song, Pictures of Lilley. From there, you’d want to take it up a notch and do a version of The Beatles’ Taxman. Warming to your topic, you could then sink the boots in on track three with a rendition of the Painters and Dockers’ classic Die Yuppie Die. As I see it, the album would have a mid-70s progressive rock feel. Craig Emerson would, obviously, love to help out. And because every band needs creative friction, you should probably ask Clive Palmer to join, too. Together, as Emerson, Swan Lake and Palmer, your version of Fanfare for the Common Man would take the charts by storm. It is, perhaps, too much to hope for. While I suppose we should be grateful the Budget papers don’t come affixed with a picture of the ministerial backside, replete with red rag hanging from the back denim pocket, I’d still prefer it if you released a single instead. Perhaps I’m showing my hip-hop credentials, where conflict was routinely settled through a rap battle or a breakdancing competition. Not by way of an essay. Then again, perhaps that’s just one more difference between you and I. Word up. www.stuartmccullough.com

Tigers smash Blues, Rye ends Buds 2012 NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt DROMANA proved that last week’s loss against Hastings was nothing more than a game of cat and mouse after it smashed the Blues in the Nepean Division qualifying final on Saturday. Dromana had a massive 37 scoring shots to Hastings’ 17, highlighting the complete domination of the Tigers. Meanwhile, in Sunday’s elimination final, Rye goalkicking sensation Justin Van Unen booted seven goals as his team smashed Rosebud to survive at least one more week in the finals. Hastings was able to keep Dromana to just three goals in hideous conditions in the final home and away game of the season, but at Rosebud on Saturday it was a different story. Following the final game last week, Dromana coach Gavin Artico told The News his side had nothing to gain from the round 16 match. “We had the double chance and Hastings needed to win to ensure they finished top three. Hastings had something to play for,” Artico said. “We tried some things and gave some players an opportunity that they would not normally get. “I wouldn’t call it a game of cat and mouse but in those conditions, there wasn’t a lot we were going to get out of the game.” Artico’s comments started a war of words with Hastings coach Glenn Michie, who declaring on Radio Port Phillip’s Footy Show on Saturday morning before the final that he never

PAGE 36

knew of a side that didn’t try. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a side go out and not give their best.” Artico was proven right by 4.30 on Saturday afternoon. In the heat of battle and with something to play for, Dromana has smashed Hastings on two separate occasions. The first quarter was reasonably close, Hastings kicking the first goal after Matt Robbins marked 10 metres out before Dromana responded with back to back goals to Anthony Bruhn and Steven Gaertner. Robbins ended with three goals for the Blues, but failed to run out the game. Dylan Hand booted the first of his six goals for the Blues at the 21-minute mark of the opening term to pull the margin back to two points at the first change. Both sides appeared nervous in the opening 25 minutes, missing targets by foot and failing to achieve any fluency in their games. Dromana kicked away with four of the first five goals in the second quarter, opening up a good break. The Tigers ended the term with seven goals to three. There were three reasons for this. Dromana’s half-back line of Adam Hunter, Rikki Johnston and Jay Neratzoglou dominated. Michael Hunter also provided plenty of drive. The Tigers also started to win more of the contested footy, thanks largely to Liam Hogan and Ryan Slocombe, and they were able to maintain pressure in their forward half by locking the ball in. Hastings finished with just two

Western Port News 28 August 2012

goalkickers for the game, which told the story of the Blues’ forward woes. Hastings took Daniel Wishart into the game, but he was clearly suffering from a right calf injury and became a liability. Glenn Michie strapped his hand and completed the warm-up, but didn’t play. The Blues best player this season, Mark Deveraux, missed the match with a chest strain. The Blues tried Jason Kestle in attack, but he was soon needed in defence, while Colin McVeigh was well beaten after quarter time. Grant Masterson failed to fire a shot in attack. The third quarter was a slog. Both teams booted four goals, alternating after Dromana kicked the first at the 10-minute mark. For Hastings to win, they needed to be within three goals at the final change. The three-quarter time margin was 31 points. The final term was a procession and Dromana booted six unanswered goals. The Tigers were always about to break the back of their opponent and it happened at the six-minute mark of the last when Gaertner booted the fourth of his five goals. Dromana had winners all over the park. Paul Minchington was arguably best on ground. His polish, clearance work and ability to hit targets were a highlight. Bruhn and Jed Savage were outstanding lead-up players all afternoon for the Tigers. They would have taken at least 18 marks between them.

Beau McMurray made a welcome return to the team, booted two goals and was running on top of the ground in the end. Kierran Voelkl was a livewire in attack and finished with three goals, and Seamus Thompson was superb in the ruck against Adam Jago. The only negative for the Tigers was the injury to Adam Hunter, which he suffered on the three-quarter time siren. Hunter spent the day in hospital on Sunday with a light tear of the membrane surrounding his spleen. He will miss this week, but will be right for either the preliminary or grand final, depending on the result this weekend. In the Reserves, Dromana began a fantastic day with an emphatic 30-point win against Devon Meadows. Daniel Lee booted three and Travis Sheean, Jarred Terry, Andrew Burns and Brad Allen were among the best players. In the Under-18s, Red Hill was sensational against Rye, winning by 134 points to set up a second semi showdown with Somerville. On Sunday in the elimination final, Rye put the pedal to the metal in the second quarter against Rosebud to open up a commanding four-goal lead. Van Unen booted just one goal in the first half, but the likes of Ben WintersKerr, Rhett Sutton and Leigh Morse got the Demons going on the scoreboard. Rye began to win the contested football at the stoppages, largely due to the exceptional ruck work of teenager Brady Egan, and Adam Kirkwood, Sean Cain and Sam Smith were un-

stoppable in the middle of the ground. Across half-back, Darren Booth controlled play, Jarryd Kirkwood drove the ball out of the danger zone continuously and Hagan Rice used his explosive pace to advantage up and down the wings. Rosebud’s strength this season has been its defensive run. Nick Boswell was clearly injured and hampered after quarter time and there was no Cade Egan or Sam Kremich, which hurt the Buds. Lachy Armstrong worked tireless across half-forward for the Buds and finished with three goals, but Brenton Davidge was quiet after half-time. He wasn’t alone. The engine room of Ryan Spooner, Greg Bentley and Brenton Payne were below their best, and Paul Lewis had no influence in the ruck. Justin Van Unen brought up his 100 th goal early in the third quarter and went on to kick a further six for the quarter. By three-quarter time, Rye led 16 goals to just seven. The final margin was 65 points. In the Reserves, a star-studded Somerville team made light work of beating Sorrento. Todd Farrelly booted five goals while the likes of Stephen and Ben Crowe, Nick Brown and Luke Forsyth all had an influence. In the Under-18s, Sorrento got the chocolates over Devon Meadows in a tight contest. The final margin was a reflection of the tightness of the game.

Gulls’ coach Chapple bids farewell PENINSULA DIVISION By Toe Punt CHELSEA Football Club kissed a terrible year goodbye on Saturday, its final match of the year typifying its second half of the season. Chelsea failed to kick a goal in the first half against Langwarrin, a side that finished third bottom on the ladder. The match not only drew a close on the 2012 season for both clubs, it also saw Seagull’s coach Jason Chapple farewell coaching. Chapple announced on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning he would never coach again. Playing for a possible finals spot on Saturday, the Gulls failed to fire a shot. If Chelsea had beaten Langwarrin and Edithvale-Aspendale defeated Seaford, the Gulls would have made the five. While one result was possible, EdiAsp beating Seaford, there was no chance Chelsea was going to beat Langwarrin at home. The Gulls gave up being competitive eight weeks ago. Booting just three goals for the

game against a side that has won just five games 2012 wasn’t flash. But it summed up their season. Aaron Shaw finished the season in outstanding fashion for the Kangas and laid a foundation for a good 2013. He booted five to finish with 41 for the season. Jarryd Amalfi also played sensational footy, and Shane Urbans added more votes to his tally for the club’s best and fairest, which he should win. With a big pre-season, Matty Naughton is also a player of the future for the Kangas. Sam Carpenter and Nigel Carmody again led the way for the Gulls, and Dean Gentle worked tirelessly all game. Bonbeach has had a fantastic season, but is limping into the finals. On Saturday, it gave Mornington a seven-goal head start and couldn’t peg them back. Anthony Raso, Matty Clifford, Nathan Hicks and James Norton are all out injured and, from all reports, Shane McDonald is carrying an injury. That’s a lot of height out of a team that isn’t blessed with talls.

executive in the coming weeks and cannot make a commitment on a new coach until this happens. Current coach Leigh Stewart is keen to do the job again.

Vacancies in Nepean

Chapps says farewell

THE coaching merry-go-round has begun with a number of clubs advertising for new coaches. Rosebud and Frankston Bombers lead the charge after Mark Hustwaite announced he would stand down at the Buds at season’s end. This was no great surprise to anyone, including the club, who had their ears to the ground in recent months. Frankston Bombers met with its coach of four years, Tony Blackford, last week and told him it wanted to head in a different direction. After four years in the job, the Bombers have not been able to repeat the success of Blackford’s first year with the club. Blackford said it was highly likely he was going to take a year off footy, but said he would never rule himself out of an opportunity. “You never say never, Toey,” Blackford said. Somerville is yet to appoint a coach for 2013. The club will anoint a new

CHELSEA’S three-goal return against Langwarrin on Saturday not only finished its season, but also ended the 30-year journey of coach Jason Chapple. Chapple resigned as coach in the middle of the season but agreed to see 2012 through to the end. At the final siren on Saturday, “Chapps” said he was done and dusted. He has no intentions of coaching senior football again, has no desire to play at any level and is looking forward to retirement. Chapple debuted in senior footy at age 16. He quickly made a reputation as an uncompromising, skillful midfielder, who would go on to play 298 senior games. Chapps coached Bonbeach, Hampton Park, Pearcedale and ended his career at Chelsea.

Mornington was up and about for its last match. The Sharks had one eye on next week and an elimination final showdown against Seaford. The final margin was 10 points in favour of the Dogs. The scoreboard shows the result could have been a lot different, especially in the second half. In the first hour, the Sharks had 14 scoring shots to 16, but kicked just one goal (1.13). The Sharks booted 3.6 to 4.5 in the third quarter and finished with 6.9 to 3.0 in the final quarter. Bonbeach had 38 scoring shots to Mornington’s 28. Paul Rebeschini and Mark Tyrrell were outstanding for the Sharks. Daniel Villani booted three for Mornington and was outstanding in the win, and Barry Smeeton and Tim Johnston also led the way. Frankston YCW trailed Mt Eliza all day on Saturday until shifting up a gear in the last and storming home to win by 13 points. In an uneventful, scrappy game in ordinary conditions at Wooralla Drive,

The Dogs advertised in the Footy Record and rumours are strong it is looking for a high-profile person to take the role. The club is almost certain to opt for someone other than the man who has rebuilt the list over the past three seasons, Josh Beard. I think the decision is weak. What the club’s move says to me is this: “Thanks, Josh, for taking the job when no one else wanted it, spending the past three years rebuilding the club and doing all the hard yards. Now that we’re in good shape, we going to find someone else to coach”. Beard has done a magnificent job rebuilding the team and while the win-loss ratio doesn’t work in his favour, the fact that he has redeveloped the club surely carries some weight. When Beard took over at Mornington, the club was a basket case. No one else was interested in the job, but Beard saw it as an opportunity. He had little budget to work with to recruit, the club was unsettled offfield, the culture wasn’t the greatest and he had a club full of 16-19-yearolds. Wind forward three years and Mornington is settled off the field, the bank balance is heading in the right

just four goals were kicked in the opening half. At three-quarter time, the Stonecats had been restricted to just two goals. The Redlegs led by 15 points at the last change with Justin Grant, Timmy Strickland and Rob D’Orazio well on top. However, in the final term Ash Eames took total control in the ruck, Brad Ulms continued his fine work in attack, and Kevin Lylak and Dane Andonov in defence lifted their team to victory. The Stonecats booted 4.5 to one behind in the last quarter to make a very strong statement leading into finals. As expected, Karingal had to fight hard to beat Pines, eventually getting home by 23 points. Inaccuracy cost Pines dearly in the end as the side finished with two more scoring shots than their more highly fancied opponent. Aaron Paxton’s tenacity, Troy Hoad and Duncan Proud’s composure in the back line, Michael Burke’s magic and Steve Charalambous’ pace were the difference between the sides. Chris Hay booted three goals to se-

direction and there’s an opportunity to recruit. Beard made some hard decisions and moved players on who didn’t fit the new culture and the teenagers all have 25-40 senior games under the belt. On-field, the Doggies are ready to go to the next level. Now, after doing all the hard work, the club has decided it is going to pull the rug from under him. Mornington Football Club finished with seven wins and was just one game outside of five.

Team of the year THE league’s coaches have again pooled their experience and named their teams of the year. There have been more than 35 players selected in each of the teams, highlighting what a tough task it is each and every season. Once again, yours truly has been charged with the responsibility of being chairman of selectors. The process, as always, is simple. The players with the most votes (those selected in most coaches’ teams) get the nod. There is no doubt the teams will make for fantastic discussion throughout the finals.

PETER Marshall blew his whistle for the last time at the final siren between Seaford and Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday. Marshall, who umpired at the top level, was arguably the greatest umpire ever in the MPNFL over a 20year period. He also served as the head of coaching with the Southern Umpires Association, as well as spending time as chairman. Marshall is also a runner for Simon Goosey at Frankston Dolphins and coaches cricket at McKinnon. Marshall said it was time to give it away and “give the young kids an opportunity”. “We are blessed with a lot of good umpires at the moment and it’s time for us old blokes to step aside and give them every opportunity,” Marshall said. “While my little legs still get me around and I’m making the right decisions, I think that’s the time to go,” he said.

cure the league goalkicking medal. Jimmy Messina and Chris Guganovic were outstanding for the Pythons, as was Trent Potts and teenager Billy Humphrey. Seaford was able to rise to the occasion and get the job done against Edithvale-Aspendale. The Tigers’ form has been patchy in recent weeks and it was important leading into an elimination final to find some momentum. The Tigers set up the win with a strong second quarter, booting five goals to one and leading by 17 points at the main interval. Despite being just seven points ahead at three-quarter time, the home side peppered the goals in the last and recorded a comfortable 26-point win. Brayden Irving finished with three goals, and Darragh Chadwick, Tom Shaw and Michael Kraska two each, while Kane Taylor played his best game for the season. Timmy Mannix and Pat Poore were among the Eagles’ best, and Craig Wray was very good over four quarters.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard

Sandy slows Pines’ push, Morrison quits Baxter By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines and Sandringham may have blown their Provisional 1 promotion chances on Saturday, but the 1-1 draw at Monterey Reserve was a glowing endorsement of grassroots soccer. The home side had barely settled into stride when Sandringham struck after a superb passing move ended with a low, 20-metre strike from Tommy Fitzpatrick that rocketed past Pines goalkeeper Kris McEvoy. The home side levelled in the 64th minute after quick thinking by Nick Giannopoulos caught Sandringham’s central defenders out of position. Giannopoulos’s throw-in went to the feet of young Pines striker Chris Hodgson and in the blink of an eye he’d turned and slotted the ball expertly past keeper Eddie Chadwick in the Sandy goal. It was game on and with Pines central defender Anthony Edgar posing a threat from set pieces, a gripping battle unfolded. But Sandringham refused to budge in a free-flowing, nail-biting contest that produced six one-on-ones in the last 10 minutes and had both sets of fans on an emotional rollercoaster. Great work down the left and a superb cross set up Sandy substitute Cameron Martini, but he allowed McEvoy to smother then gather the ball at his feet. At the other end, Chris Hodgson, whose older brother Mathew had come on as a substitute, could have notched a hat-trick, but missed two gilt-edged chances from dead in front. One of the final acts of this enthralling battle saw Sandy’s Sean Lally race clear, only to balloon his attempt and let Pines off the hook. Pines has now gone 13 games in a

row without defeat and the on-field and off-field revival of the club in 2012 has been remarkable after four successive relegations. Langwarrin all but assured survival in State 2 with a 2-1 win over Doncaster Rovers at Lawton Park on Saturday. Langy’s third-straight victory came courtesy of a Caleb Nicholes strike in the first half and a back post header from Neil Sullivan in the second half, which gave the home side a two-goal cushion. Sullivan’s own goal minutes later rounded off the scoreline. Peninsula Strikers went down 2-0 away to relegation-threatened Knox City on Saturday. “They took their chances and we didn’t. There wasn’t a lot in it,” Strikers coach Jamie Skelly said. Seaford scored after 30 seconds at Keysborough on Saturday and held on for a 1-0 away win. The home team lost the ball at the back and after Dave Greening’s shot struck the post, Ted Ithier was on hand to knock in the rebound. The result maintained Seaford’s promotion push and sets up a crucial clash at North Seaford Reserve this Saturday against Provisional 2 promotion rival Endeavour United. Seaford’s Kain Stratton and Matt Pearce have returned from the Asean Police Football Games and Luke Gale is available after suspension. Skye United lost 4-3 away to Lyndale United, just the second time this season the home team had claimed maximum points. Daniel Attard, Matty Bruce and Adrian Busso were Skye’s scorers in a game that featured two penalties for Lyndale, a controversial third goal for the home team amid claims of offside, and a strong handball appeal inside

Lyndale’s penalty area in the dying moments that went unheeded. “You have to say fair play to Lyndale because they have not had a lot going for them this season and they deserved a change of luck,” Skye president Chris Attard said. Jim Morrison resigned last week as coach of Baxter and Alan Lipsett was in charge for the Provisional 3 side’s 3-2 away win against Rowville Eagles on Saturday. “Just say that we wanted to go in different directions,” Morrison said. “I’m sorry that I didn’t finish out the season as the players have been great and I wish them every success. “That’s enough coaching for me. I’m taking up golf.” Fixtures for rounds 20 and 21 (note the weekend of 8-9 September is a catch-up round): Saturday 1 September, 3pm: Morwell Pegasus v Langwarrin (Ronald Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Heatherton Utd (Centenary Park), Frankston Pines v Mooroolbark (Monterey Reserve), Seaford Utd v Endeavour Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Skye Utd v Boroondara Eagles (Skye Recreational Reserve), Baxter v Old Brighton Grammarians (Baxter Park).

Top games: Hawks v Eagles, Cats v Swans Round 23 previews Friday 31 August Hawthorn v West Coast, MCG, 7.50pm In the match of the round, two of the league’s in-form teams seek to build on momentum heading into finals. The Hawks pulled off one of the wins of the season in defeating Sydney by seven points. After a poor first quarter, it all fell into place for Hawthorn; Franklin and Burgoyne were firing and a late goal from Brad Sewell won the game. The Eagles also had a terrific win against Collingwood. It put them inside the four for now, but they must beat Hawthorn to stay there as Collingwood will most likely defeat Essendon. The MCG hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the Eagles in recent years; just one win since 2007. Two great teams but the Hawks are better. Hawthorn by 25 points. Saturday 1 September Geelong v Sydney, Simonds Stadium, 1.45pm For the second consecutive week the Cats play on home turf, this time against the only side that has beaten them there since 2007. The Cats did as they pleased against a struggling Bulldogs side on the weekend; Tom Hawkins was in good form with four goals. The Swans suffered a narrow

loss to the Hawks at the SCG. It was a fantastic game, but for the second time in three weeks the Swans went down in a tight contest to a great side. The Swans may have won here last year, but they haven’t looked very dominant lately and haven’t put in a four-quarter performance for a month. Geelong by 18 points. Adelaide v Gold Coast, AAMI Stadium, 2.10pm In a one-sided game on paper, Adelaide looks to move into the top two and needs to win this game to have a chance. To achieve this, either the Hawks or Swans have to lose their last match and the Crows will have achieved their first top-two finish since 1998. On the weekend the Crows steamrolled Melbourne in a dominant performance; Ian Callinan and Taylor Walker were excellent up forward, kicking four goals each. For the Suns, they had their best win for the season upsetting Carlton by 12 points. Ablett and Bennell owned the midfield while Lynch and Brown boosted the forward line. Adelaide by 89 points. GWS v North Melbourne, Skoda Stadium, 4.40pm It’s been a long inaugural season for the Giants; the pain is nearly over as they reflect on a season that saw them win just two matches. GWS debuted 36 players, most notably Toby Greene, Jeremy Cameron and Jonathon Patton. Captain Callan Ward showed he’s worth every cent, playing a career-best season and is almost a certainty to win

the best and fairest. For the Kangaroos they were generally disappointing against Fremantle. The loss could cost them a home elimination final and see a trip to Perth. Overall it will all come down to percentage and the Kangaroos will be going for a massive win, like they had over the Giants in round two. North Melbourne by 95 points. Fremantle v Melbourne, Patersons Stadium, 7.40pm It’s the final round and the Dockers are peaking at exactly the right time. They’ve dropped just the one game since round 14. On the weekend the Dockers took it up to the in-form Kangaroos and flogged them by 53 points; they kicked nine goals in the last quarter and all without Matthew Pavlich. Now as controversial as this may seem, it might be in Fremantle’s best interest to take it easy this week on Melbourne, so North can catch them on percentage, because if they finish seventh as opposed to eighth, they’ll be travelling to Melbourne to play Geelong, but if they finish eighth they play West Coast at home. Overall the Demons have had a season to forget and won’t get anywhere near Fremantle trying or not. Fremantle by 25 points. Essendon v Collingwood, MCG, 7.40pm Two traditional rivals play on Saturday night, but both have different goals heading in to the match. The Bombers have had an almighty collapse this year; at one stage they

had won eight and lost one, now they’re sitting in 11th spot and just want the season to end. The Pies lost their second match in a row and for the first time since round eight are out of the top four. They should be able to hop back in this week, but will rely on Hawthorn to win first. With the return of Darren Jolly, Nick Maxwell and Andrew Krakouer imminent, this should be an easy win for the Pies. Collingwood by 63 points. Sunday 2 September Carlton v St Kilda, Etihad Stadium, 1.10pm This should have been an important match but has become almost irrelevant as both sides will be hard pushed to make the eight. The Blues had every chance to push for a finals berth, but failed to beat the Gold Coast Sun and now must win this and rely on Fremantle to lose to Melbourne. It’s the same story for St Kilda, except they are playing some decent football. They disposed of the GWS very easily. Overall the Blues have had a disappointing season; they expected to finish in the top four and now their coach Brett Ratten is under a lot of pressure. The Saints have had a slight dip but nothing too serious. St Kilda by 36 points. Richmond v Port Adelaide, MCG, 3.15pm In the final game of the season for these bottom 10 sides, both will be looking to farewell 2012 in style. The Tigers have had one of their characteristically inconsistent seasons,

finishing not too far outside the eight. It’s probably been one of their better years in a long time and they can be proud of the progression of Trent Cotchin and Shaun Grigg. They’ve also debuted some good players in Steven Morris and Brandon Ellis. The Power have improved drastically from 2011, yet they’ve still sacked a coach and will finish low on the ladder. On a positive note, they pulled off one of the recruiting coups of the year in Brad Ebert, who will probably win the best and fairest. Richmond by 48 points. Brisbane v Western Bulldogs, Gabba, 4.40pm In the final game of the 2012 home and away season, two lowly sides finish their seasons in the Sunshine state. The Lions have had a pretty good season considering where they were last year. The improvement of Jack Redden, Pearce Hanley and Dayne Zorko has been remarkable. They’ve also taken some prize scalps in West Coast and Adelaide. Coach Michael Voss can be content with the season. The Bulldogs have almost become irrelevant in the scheme of things. They’ve had dwindling members, they’ve struggled on the field and things don’t look like turning around in a hurry. They’ve debuted eight players, Dickson, Pearce and Jong the more impressive of them, but they’ve still got a long way to go. Brisbane by 57 points. Twitter: FootballTragic9 Total tips: 129
