‘Profane’ number feud By Mike Hast THE owners of a factory on a main road in Hastings are trying to get one of their tenants to remove what the owners say is an offensive sign. Part of the sign for LDB Roofing Construction Pty Ltd is a 1300 phone number on the front of the factory at 2135 Frankston-Flinders Rd. The 24/7 phone number for the firm -- which advertises itself as an agricultural maintenance, service and spare parts outlet for the commercial poultry industry -- is 1300 OH SHIT, which translates to 1300 64 7448. LDB moved in to the factory earlier this year and had the phone number on an A-board out the front. The sign above the factory roller door went up in August. The factory is less conspicuous than premises facing FrankstonFlinders Rd in other parts of Hastings because it is on a service road that has a wide verge containing trees. Owners of the factory complex, Ev and Alan Duke, say they have tried every avenue to get the number removed including asking the tenant directly, the estate agent who handled the lease, and Mornington Peninsula Shire. The Dukes run A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems from another factory in the complex. Ms Duke said the tenant refused to alter or remove the sign. “Satchwells said it was not a retail premise and they couldn’t help,” Ms Duke said. “The shire council says it has no jurisdiction.” Ms Duke said a clause in the lease they signed earlier this year with LDB says a tenant must consult with the building owner over signs, but it had been no help.

The Dukes have been running A&A Worm Farm for more than 16 years, initially in Wantirna South. They have been on the peninsula for 12 years and supply and install worm farm systems for domestic and commercial food waste. A spokeswoman for LDB, Belinda Raulli, said the firm had fully researched the legality of the number. “It is registered with My1300, which made sure there were no objections,” she said. “It is also registered with Optus.” Ms Raulli said the Advertising Standards Bureau had “legalised” the word when dismissing a bad language complaint against Commercial Radio Australia’s digital radio campaign. The complaint related to the “Quality Shhh” advertisement. It portrays a series of announcements about the weather that are distorted by radio static due to poor reception. On a couple of occasions the announcer says the word “sh...” when referring to bad weather. Ms Raulli said LDB had asked its customers if the phone number offended them and none had objected. “Our customers have no trouble remembering our phone number. In the poultry industry, a breakdown of equipment can cost $10,000 a time. “We have offered to vacant the property three times, but the Dukes have not taken up our offer.” On Friday, Sarah Law of Western Port Chamber of Commerce said the chamber was “saddened that profane wording is being used in a visibly public place”. “We’re concerned that it could reflect an image of our community which isn’t true; it’s not the type of signage we would want visitors to see when driving into Hastings.”

Sun’s activity makes awesome auroras By Mike Hast LONG, cold nights perched behind a camera on a Flinders beach have paid off spectacularly for Seaford photographer Steven Kuiter. Mr Kuiter, 31, captured images of the Southern Aurora, also known as Aurora Australis, on Monday night last week and the results are causing a stir on the internet, where he and his photography mates try to outdo each other with their experimental photos. The former Patterson River secondary student, who says he failed photography because he was “no good at the written side”, may have bragging rights for many days. Mr Kuiter has spent many nights at Flinders this year seeking to capture the elusive aurora in a year where the Sun has been producing powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Auroras are created when energetic charged particles from the Sun collide with the Earth’s the high altitude atmosphere. Next year will be even more spectacular when the Sun reaches the peak output of an 11-year cycle. People are surprised when shown photos of the Southern Aurora, Mr Kuiter says. “I didn’t know you could capture auroras from Australia; I thought you had to go to Antarctica,” is a common reaction. Most associate images of auroras with the northern hemisphere, where far more people live closer to the North Pole in countries like Finland, Sweden, Norway, Russia and Canada. Mr Kuiter receives text alerts about expected CMEs and heads down to

SEAFORD photographer Steven Kuiter captured this image of the Southern Aurora at 10pm from a beach at Flinders on Monday night last week. It is not digitally enhanced. Inset picture: Nikki Griffin

Flinders, the best location in the region for night sky photography. It’s dark because of few street and house lights, and the beach beside the golf course faces due south to Bass Strait. Last week he arrived at a spot near West Head at about 9pm and the picture on the page was taken about 10. The skywatchers stayed till 3am. Mr Kuiter said he and his friends have thought about jumping on a plane to Tasmania “but there’s no guarantee

of the aurora making an appearance”. “You could spend many weeks in a place like Finland and not see the Northern Aurora,” he said, although going to northern Europe is an ambition. Mr Kuiter also photographs wildlife and it’s not hard to understand why – his father Rudi Kuiter is a renowned underwater photographer and his mother Alison Kuiter is well known for her images of terrestrial nature.

Her work has featured in The News in the past two years as well as in other newspapers, magazines and calendars. Mother and son had photos of ducks on promotional material for an Australia Post series of bird stamps earlier this year. Mr Kuiter took photos of Leadbeater’s possum in disputed logging areas in central Victoria this year, sometimes standing or sitting for hours to catch the rare and elusive

animal, the state’s threatened faunal emblem. The same patience, determination and technical skill is needed to capture a possum as the Southern Aurora.  For the technical, Mr Kuiter used small format Nikon cameras – a D300s and D7000 – 35mm and 11-16mm lenses, and 30 second exposures. He shoots long exposures on cloudless nights to get the star trail effect.

Locals and dogs miss out AS a permanent resident in the locale of 16th Beach, Rye, and a responsible dog owner, I do not see the need for further restrictions on dogs in national parks (“Dog ban could protect endangered species”, The News, 9/10/12). A dog on a lead or under other appropriate control does not present a threat to flora or fauna. If further restrictions are to be imposed, it should be for a specified period and only in fragile areas, such as during the hooded plover breeding season and around its nesting sites. I believe the threat to these birds is greater from the incursions of humans crashing through the dunes. Regulations only work for the responsible individual and nothing will impact on those who disregard the rules. Further restrictions would penalise responsible members of the community. I was issued a warning many years ago (which I have heeded), while my city-based companions, who had their details taken at the same time, received nothing in the mail. This seems to discriminate against permanent residents. I believe the current restrictions are designed to benefit visitors, based on the times dogs are excluded from the beach, and have little to do with protecting the environment. Local residents are the most valuable resource in protecting and advocating for our natural bounty and many are dog owners. We mainly live here because of the beauty of the coastal region and it is folly to assume that further restrictions would enhance compliance. Dog owners and locals come a very poor second place in the planning processes on the Mornington Peninsula as it is and there are better ways to protect this lovely and fragile region, which may also have the benefit of enhancing social connectivity, rather than increasing excluding sanctions. Helen Duell, Rye

Swamped by this logic

Western Port

LET me get this right. Peninsula Hot Springs is the recipient of a $100,000 federal government tourism grant to develop a bird sanctuary and wetland (“Sanctuary plan for hot springs”, The News, 28/8/12), yet just a stone’s throw down the road the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s archaic zoning laws will allow development on part of the Tootgarook Wetland. This is despite the Department of Sustainability and Environment recognising Tootgarook Swamp as a site of state significance. While the shire has finally set the wheels in motion to get part of the wetland recognised by the international Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, it is still allowing development to take place in other parts of the swamp. This

just doesn’t make sense. All credit to Peninsula Hot Springs for factoring in wetlands and native revegetation in its next development phase but shame on the shire for allowing development to occur on what little significant, natural wetland we have left. Julia Pickwick, Bittern

Shoddy road repairs AFTER reading your story regarding the intersection of Boes and Graydens roads (“Fix danger crossroad call”, The News, 7/8/12), I lay odds-on that none of these decisionmakers ever travel these roads. Anyone who has travelled from Jones Rd, Somerville, along Boes Rd to Hendersons Rd in Hastings and through to Bittern would know that all of these hit-and-miss road works are a disgrace. It is a money-grabbing scheme in which it looks like the money is being used “wisely” then we (the council) will get more money next year. In the meantime, they are only doing half the job, building new sections of road to keep the precious developers happy but leaving a section of road at a new roundabout in the same shoddy state it has been in for 15-plus years. It’s a joke, but, like Mr David Lines, we, the people of this district, are not laughing. Don’t get me started on the potholed, crappy repair jobs that litter not only this district but state roads. Lyn Murphy, Hastings

Let history, and falcons, be WHAT an excellent article by Keith Platt (“Landslide reveals links to history”, The News, 2/10/12), especially the photo of Jeff Matteson standing atop one of the “mysterious boat sheds” possibly built in the 1920s by people operating a “rough and ready holiday camp” on the Mt Martha headland later used as a municipal quarry. This quarry next to an Aboriginal midden, with its incredible history, will be sold if several council candidates get their stated way. While visiting there recently with a few local residents I was privy to the rare sight of a family of peregrine falcons nesting in the quarry. This is a historical coastline site and must be preserved for future generations, not given over to inappropriate development on our fragile coastline.

Hamer the green wedge visionary By Mike Hast THE architect of Melbourne’s green wedges, former Liberal premier Dick Hamer, was a man of great vision and incisive foresight. So says the man who helped Mr Hamer formalise the green wedges in the 1970s, retired upper house Liberal MP Alan Hunt, who represented South Eastern Province 1961-92. Mr Hunt was talking to The News two days before his 85th birthday about recent proposals announced by Planning Minister Matthew Guy to allow more development and previously banned uses in Melbourne’s 12 green wedges including the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston green wedges. “Dick Hamer was a man of great abilities and great vision, and we owe a lot to him. His vision [for the green wedges] still guides planning,” Mr Hunt said. Mr Hamer was Minister for Planning when in May 1966 he brought the proposal for green wedge zones to his colleagues in the Liberal state government led by long-time Premier Henry Bolte. The modern concept of green wedges had been formulated in the United Kingdom with a 1944 proposal to set aside green belts around urban areas of Greater London. It greatly influenced government policymakers and urban planners in Australia. Mr Hunt said the Hamer vision and the view of Alan Croxford, then head of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, “came into collision”. The MMBW was a powerful go-

vernment agency responsible for Melbourne’s water supply, sewerage, sewage treatment, town planning, management of parks, and maintenance of highways and bridges. “The minister’s view prevailed, although it took more than 12 months and the tension between opposing views lasted for some time,” Mr Hunt said. In 1967 the MMBW produced a re-

port, The Future Growth of Melbourne, which encapsulated the Hamer vision. It was the blueprint for what we know today as green wedge zones. “Fingers of growth” had developed along rail lines and major roads, and in between was farmland, parks and forests. By 1968, the government had adopted green wedges as policy and by 1971 their protection was part of planning laws.

The government’s planning policy included separate statements to protect greater Melbourne as well as later versions for the Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley, Macedon and the Mornington Peninsula, Mr Hunt said. Three of the five green wedge planning policies were introduced when Mr Hunt was Planning Minister, serving under Henry Bolte and then Dick Hamer when he replaced Bolte as state premier in 1972. Mr Hamer had held the planning portfolio for nearly a decade. In 1982 when Labor, led by John Cain, defeated the Liberals, cracks started to appear in the green wedges. The Cain government allowed Aspendale Gardens to be built in the South East green wedge. In 1989 Mr Hunt led a group of MPs who toppled Jeff Kennett as Opposition leader, replacing him with Alan Brown. Kennett made a comeback and led the Liberals to victory at the 1992 state election. Mr Hunt’s position in the Liberal Party became untenable and he retired after more than 30 years in the Parliament, but continued to serve in various public roles. He maintained his interest in the green wedges and in April 2003 wrote an article in The Age that broadly supported the Melbourne 2030 planning strategy that fixed the green wedge boundaries. In an article headed “World’s most liveable city no accident”, he wrote about the genesis of Melbourne’s green wedges and detailed how the Cain La-

bor government, the Kennett Liberal government and the Bracks Labor government all had allowed major housing developments in the green wedges. He called for bipartisan support of planning, arguing that major changes to planning rules must “survive the vagaries of elections”. “If [planning] direction is changed at all, it should be done gradually, and only through a full process of public consultation,” he wrote. “Sudden changes are the enemy of certainty and the antithesis of sound planning. “That is why political bipartisanship in planning is so important.” Mr Hunt made similar points in a submission to a parliamentary committee on public land and the protection of green wedges in 2007, this time calling for a special levy on all properties to support a lower rate for all farmers owning land in green wedges. He argued that all Melburnians benefited from green wedges, but farmers were not receiving sufficient support. When Mr Hunt spoke to The News at his home on the peninsula, he refused to criticise Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s proposals to allow more development in green wedges, staying loyal to the political party of his long life, but by praising Dick Hamer the message was clear – the green breaks that have stopped Melbourne becoming like a Los Angeles or a Sydney (which once had substantial green wedges; all now suburbs) were created by a man with vision and it takes vision to retain them.

Frankston man charged over early morning assault

In the bag: L’Oreal employees rugged up to help clean the coast between Flinders and Somers.

Beauty and the beach A CURIOUS alliance formed to clean up Flinders beaches has been proclaimed an unqualified success. Thousands of pieces of marine debris were collected from coastal sites on a wild and windy Friday when more than 200 employees of L’Oreal cosmetic group joined forces with Australian Navy officers, Parks Victoria rangers, volunteers from foreshore committees and the Surfrider Foundation. They donated a day’s work on clean-up and weeding and planting projects at sites along the shore from Flinders to Somers and were rewarded with lunch at Flinders Golf Club.

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

By Jo Winterbottom A 22-YEAR-old Frankston man has been charged with the alleged assault of Mical Jones in Mornington last month. Kyle Pollard appeared in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday last week charged with intention to cause serious injury and multiple assault-related charges after he was apprehended at his home about 6am that day. He was remanded in custody to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday ( Monday). Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock of Mornington crime investigation unit said police were still investigating a second person believed to be involved in the assault in Empire Street Mall about 4am on Sunday 16 September. Detective Brock said it would be alleged Pollard was the “main offender” in the attack that has left Mr Jones, 28, with serious head injuries and still fighting for his life in The Alfred hospital. He was found unconscious beside a

rubbish bin in the mall shortly after the alleged bashing. Detective Brock said police had identified an associate of the alleged assailants who was shown in video footage to have witness the incident from a short distance away. A search of Empire Street Mall and surrounding buildings last week failed to uncover any new evidence. Piecing together Mr Jones’s movements on the night, Detective Brock said it appeared he had enjoyed a night out at the Grand and Bay hotels in Main St, Mornington, before leaving the Bay alone when it closed about 3.30am. Mr Jones’s father Robert Jones issued an impassioned plea on television for witnesses or information that would help police catch his son’s attackers. Mical Jones, a house painter of Rosebud, moved to the Mornington Peninsula from the NSW north coast at the beginning of the year. He remains in a coma in The Alfred hospital.

Shot fired during Rosebud siege A SHOT was fired during a siege in Rosebud on Monday night last week when a man armed with a knife allegedly confronted police. Jesse Cairns-Malcolm, 23, of Rosebud, has been charged with multiple offences relating to the incident in which a police officer fired his gun once, hitting the ground. Police said they went to a house in Carrington Drive shortly before 6pm to speak to a man in relation to an alleged theft. A police spokesman said they were confronted by Cairns-Malcolm, who was allegedly armed with various weapons. Police would allege the man was hit with capsi-

cum spray, but could not be subdued and “repeatedly advanced on police”. He also allegedly threw weapons and burning items at police, causing damage to at least one police vehicle until a “peaceful end to the incident” was negotiated at about 6.30pm. Cairns-Malcolm was taken to Frankston Hospital and appeared in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday afternoon last week, charged with theft, possession of a controlled weapon, criminal damage and assault offences. He was bailed to appear before the court again next month. Jo Winterbottom

OPINION AND NEWS DESK

Jiggery-pokery emerges in council poll Night a hit Mrs Emu is a political tyro, as readers have probably surmised. Ratting is as old as politics itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many a stiletto has been slipped under many a fifth rib by ratters. It must, however, be taken in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stride. The old rule â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that the less significant the election, the more vicious the politicking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; generally holds true. Emu reflects on the copious bloodletting that occurred at kindergarten committee meetings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not duelling at dawn yet, but the campaign for seats around the Mornington Peninsula Shire council table is warming up. So far incidents have been reported in Briars and Red Hill wards.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE rats are out to play!â&#x20AC;? breathed Mrs Emu in the conspiratorial tone she reserves for portentous announcements. Emu pretends to look concerned, awaiting a clue as to what the heck his spouse is talking about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deserting sinking ships, but they may not be sinking at all. They might actually be joining other sinking ships,â&#x20AC;? she goes on excitedly. Since this is as much sense as the blushing bride can muster in times of extremis, Emu deepens the furrow of concern in his brow and waits. News on the Port of Hastings, perhaps? Trouble among Sorrentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s couta boat aficionados? They play it tough, those nautical lads and lasses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the candidates for election to council who promised to give their preferences to certain other candidates are now giving them to ...â&#x20AC;? Mrs Emu appears to have got herself in a grammatical bind â&#x20AC;&#x153;... even different other candidates.â&#x20AC;? She looks relieved to have emerged relatively intact from this semantic mangle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have ratted,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Candidates who promised theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d support one candidate are now supporting a different one. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trouble brewing!â&#x20AC;? she concludes darkly.

Squeaking of which... STRANGE happenings are occurring elsewhere in this grubby game, Emu hears. One candidate has had a visit from the law (shire building inspector) regarding a building converted to a new use without the appropriate paperwork and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more importantly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without a fee being paid. Another has had a complaint laid over a minor matter of air quality. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major conflict-ofinterest matter pending. In such incidents, it is fair to assume the rats are squeaking. Expect rodent activity to intensify over coming weeks.

By Sarah Law THE annual Hastings Business Festival (previously Trade Expo) was held on Thursday 4 October at Hastings Hall. More than 20 businesses participated with stalls and displays covering retail, professional services, government, beauty, tourism and more. There were a number of new businesses involved, too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the enthusiasm new businesses bring to town is a wonderful addition. A special mention goes to the caterer for the event, Three Beans Coffee, which originally signed up as a stallholder, but went on to organise a van outside the venue to provide coffee and snacks. Businesses were required to submit a written entry, along with photos and supporting documents in one of the three categories: retail, passion and innovation. There was $1000 for each winner. All entries were incredible, which made choosing the winners difficult, and all entrants are to be commended for their fantastic work. The winners: Retail â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Petersenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bookstore (runners-up: Hair About Town) Innovation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Drop In Scooters & Skateboards (runners-up: Peaches & Cream) Passion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; joint winners: Bendigo Bank and Vamp Nails & Beauty The chamber hope to turn the awards into an annual event, coinciding with the Hastings Business Festival. At then end of the night door prizes were drawn by Greg Hunt MP. Eleven businesses donated prizes to the pool, making this year the most generous it has ever been. The prize values ranged from $25 to $1500. Western Port Chamber of Commerce thanked everyone involved in making the 2012 event a success, and looks forward to a bigger and better event in 2013.

since the election campaign began. It appears to have been cleansed of material that might favour or disadvantage the 10 councillors who are standing for re-election (Reade Smith has pulled the pin and is not standing in Hastings-based Cerberus Ward). A visitor to the website would, for example, not have an inkling that controversy had been raging over a swimming centre in Rosebud. But a few things have escaped the censorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gimlet eye. Under the heading â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kangerong Wardâ&#x20AC;? readers learn that the ward is occupied by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mayor Councillor (Graham) Pittock. Contact details: Phone/Fax: 5987 1365 for Mayoral appointmentsâ&#x20AC;?. This might come as a surprise to Cr Pittock, who ceased to be mayor nearly a year ago. But then, Emu is keenly aware the pace can be agreeably slow on the peninsula, even under the messianic leadership of our much-decorated CEO, Michael Kennedy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too late to get the facts right before Kangerong Ward disappears into history as part of the new, bigger Briars Ward. But then, after nearly a year, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rush? The website entry for Red Hill Ward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with its spectacular coastline, rolling green hills, restorative vineyards, surf and swimming beaches, and picturesque villages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is similarly quaint. Overwhelmed by this natural beauty, shire wordsmiths found an attraction even more worthy of a visit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a small and undistinguished

Meeting cancelled BEFORE Mrs Emu leaves the website, and the shire, she has a final conundrum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cancellation of the 8 October council meeting â&#x20AC;&#x153;as there are no items listedâ&#x20AC;?, according to CEO Michael Kennedy in a public notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No items listed?â&#x20AC;? she snorted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They probably forgot it was a meeting night. But then, they had already cancelled question time to stop rats exploiting it for election purposes, so why not just close down the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament, too?â&#x20AC;? Mrs Emu is reading a history of the French Revolution. She hums La Marseillaise a lot around the house, nearly in tune. Of course, councillors (except the shy and retiring Reade Smith) are busy with other things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But surely those who compiled the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meetings were aware when the poll would be held?â&#x20AC;? she continued. The public notice on the cancelled meeting was posted about lunchtime on Wednesday 3 October. Until then the shire website merely told visitors that â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no scheduled council meetings for weeks commencing 1 and 8 October 2012â&#x20AC;?. Yes there were, Dr Kennedy and staff. Yes there were.

Last bridge beam brings MPs’ praise By Mike Hast THE freeway that will change life on the Mornington Peninsula is a step closer to completion with the lifting into place of final bridge beams. The concrete beams were placed by a 600-tonne crane to form a 320-metre long bridge connecting Peninsula Link, EastLink tollway and Mornington Peninsula Freeway. Inspecting the work were Coalition government MPs Edward O’Donohue, who is Parliamentary Secretary for Transport, and Minister for Education Martin Dixon, whose electorate is the southern Mornington Peninsula. Mr Dixon said Abigroup had made remarkable progress over the past few weeks, particularly at the EastLink interchange. “People can now see the ramps that will take them on and off Peninsula Link,” he said. Landscaping and feature lighting on the bridge over EastLink would “look really spectacular and provide a new gateway to Frankston and the greater peninsula”. Mr O’Donohue said “one of Victoria’s biggest bridge building programs is nearing completion” and “Peninsula Link is on track for an early 2013 opening”. The Southern Way consortium and its construction contractor Abigroup have been aiming to finish the freeway by 8 December, but have faced a number of challenges including unexpected wet weather. The freeway was started in February 2010 during the drought, which

broke in autumn of that year. The region has since received average or above-average rainfall, forcing Abigroup to use local roads instead of the freeway alignment as well as other logistical challenges. The project has been dogged by delays including industrial action by the CFMEU, trucks being impounded by WorkSafe after one carrying a huge beam crashed on the Monash Freeway last December, and vandalism at several depots. The most recent blow was Abigroup’s parent company Lend Lease announcing it was conducting an investigation after discovering alleged under-reporting of an anticipated loss on the freeway. Lend Lease suspended two of its senior executives and two Abigroup executives, and sent a field team to scrutinise the project. A report is due later this month. The 27-kilometre freeway between Carrum Downs and Mt Martha has nine interchanges and 35 bridges. The cost of construction was originally $759 million, but has risen to $849 million, according to a report by the state auditor-general. Built under a public-private partnership deed, the freeway will cost the government $2.3 billion over 25 years.  Time lapse footage of the crane lifting bridge beams into place can be seen at www.mpnews.com.au in the “Video” section.

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

Crib Point Manor

Yes, you can afford it

ONE of the original homes of the area dating back about 100 years, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crib Point Manorâ&#x20AC;? underwent an extensive renovation some years ago to bring back period features such as ornate architraves and leadlight windows. Polished floorboards feature throughout and to the left of the formal entry is the main bedroom boasting a decorative fireplace and an ensuite with feature timber vanity incorporated into the bay window. A long hallway takes you past two more bedrooms and into the kitchen area, which is where the original home ended. The kitchen was also updated to include a stainless-steel rangehood, stove and dishwasher. The extensions to the property are impressive. A dance hall-sized lounge and dining room is enormous, and the 3.65-metre (12-foot) ceilings add to the sensation of space. There is air-conditioning but you can just imagine the summer breezes that would flow beautifully through the home once the large bifold doors are opened. The timber deck increases the available space so the scope of this room is limited only by imagination.

POSITIONED in a sought-after area of town, this neat brick home presents in near-new condition. From the tiled entry you come into a large lounge room that has extra space for either a study nook or formal dining. A smart timber kitchen has a gas cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher, and there is plenty of bench space. Zoned to provide the kids with their own space is a second living area positioned toward the far end of the home. Also at this end are the three bedrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite, and two other bedrooms have built-in robes. The landscaped gardens that adorn the front of the home are well established and the driveway has ample room for car parking as well as secure double gates.

AROUND THE REGION

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

Snapshot of Port Phillip Area: 1950 square km. Coastline: 264 km. Name: Named after the first Governor of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip. Ports: Port of Melbourne is Australia’s busiest port, supporting 15,000 jobs and $82 billion annual imports and exports. Home to: More than 1000 species of marine plants and animals including dolphins, penguins and the weedy seadragon. Industries: Commercial fishing and aquaculture industries totalling $10 million a year are dependent on the bay’s clean water. Recreation: Coastal parks and beaches, boating, swimming, fishing and diving. From the report A Cleaner River and Port Phillip Bay.

ity and Environment will ultimately have responsibility for Port Phillip, with Melbourne Water the peak body for the Yarra. The Environment Protection Authority will manage assessment and reporting of water quality problems. Flinders federal MP and Opposition environment spokesman Greg Hunt applauded plans for better and more open water quality monitoring.

“This will make it easier for communities to access water quality data, become better informed and therefore better motivated to protect the bay,” he said. He would like to see Port Phillip and its catchment area the “cleanest urban waterway in the southern hemisphere”. The report predicts increasing pressure on waterways from extreme weather events, which are forecast to increase

as a result of climate change. “Recent heavy rain highlights how extreme weather events can degrade water quality and affect the amenity of the Yarra and bay,” it says. It cited a large algal bloom that formed in Port Phillip in January caused by hot weather followed by heavy rain. “The bloom was associated with poor water quality and fish deaths.

“Large bloom events can stress aquatic animals by reducing the available oxygen in the water, clogging gills or producing toxins. “In January, the dead algae washed up on several beach [on] the Mornington Peninsula, affecting the use of beaches for swimming and other recreational pursuits.” The plan will target “pollution hotspots” throughout the catch-

ment area and offers tips for simple actions to reduce contaminants ending up in Port Phillip. The report states that marine pollution, habitat destruction and international aquarium trade are the biggest threats to the weedy seadragon, Victoria’s marine faunal emblem, which is a popular find for divers. The plan can be viewed at www.dse.vic.gov.au

Western Port News 16 October 2012

By Jo Winterbottom THE manager of Frankston’s Landmark building, tenants and environment groups have joined forces to protest the proposed 10-storey South East Water headquarters beside Kananook Creek. The meeting was organised and chaired by David Minty of CBRE, the company that manages Landmark, Frankston’s premier office building, which looks set to be dwarfed by the water authority’s HQ to be built on a car park between Playne and Wells streets. Tenants of the five-storey Landmark will lose Port Phillip views and access to car parking, but Mr Minty played down suggestions the property could be significantly devalued. “My clients’ concerns are the impact it will have on the foreshore, the gross overdevelopment of the site and the reduction in public carparking,” he said after the meeting. He would not disclose the estimated value of the Landmark building or its owner. Along with about 20 people at the meeting, he accused Frankston Council of “secrecy” in its dealings to woo South East Water and its 700 employees to the city. “The whole process has been done behind closed doors,” he said. It was decided to canvas candidates in the upcoming council elections to determine their views on the controversial development. There was a warning for the state government – expect a backlash against Liberal MP Geoff Shaw, who was described as a “local member on the brink”. He holds the seat of Frankston by a margin of just 2.1 per cent and has been investigated by the Ombudsman, George Brouwer, who last week found Mr Shaw used and allowed employees to use his taxpayer-funded car for his hardware business and used a parliamentary fuel card to pay for petrol for his private vehicle. Frankston accountant Tom Pender, who has offices in Playne St, told the meeting the council and SEW could bypass many standard proce-

dures and regulations as they were government entities negotiating directly. “There is definitely a loophole that allows these two bodies to undertake the transaction without going through some of the usual channels,” he said. SEW was made a statutory authority on 1 July; the deal with City of Frankston was announced on 2 July. Mr Pender said that after discussions with the council he had concluded the council would have little say on the final shape of the development. “Control rests with South East Water and [Planning] Minister [Matthew] Guy has ultimate control,” he said. There was general agreement the size, position and building owner would see the planning minister “call in” the project or the council would ask him to do so. The minister would oversee the project and it would not be subject to local planning laws. The meeting was told architects were working to “secret design principals” and planning laws would be waived, including the 20metre height limit. There was concern the building with a large atrium would be too large and the design too “industrial” for the creek-front site and that it would set a precedent for other landowners who wanted to develop creek-front land. Gould St resident and community activist Hillary Poad said the SEW building could be “two or three times the size of the Peninsula Centre”, which has 10 storeys. Frankston Council sold the car park to SEW for $4 million in September, claimed by many at the meeting to be below market value. Frankston Council said it was a coup to lure SEW from the City of Kingston and two smaller offices in Lynbrook and Dandenong South. Acting Frankston CEO Jane Homewood said the deal had been brokered over 18 months against stiff opposition from other municipalities, including Dandenong, and would “contribute $115 million a year to the economy”.

We also identified a need for an outreach program in Somerville and started Somerville Community House, which is still going strong. In 2001, the Year of Volunteers, we thanked our volunteers as well as those from other Crib Point organisations with a

lunche at Tyabb Fly Inn. We offer a variety of classes, workshops, outings and events. We are always after new ideas and tutors. We’ve made patchwork quilts, Christmas decorations, felt scarves, scarecrows, decorated cakes, learnt to cook. You name it, we’re done it. Our first Quilt and Art Expo was in 2010 and we had one this year. We now have quilt stands to hire out to other organisation and our next expo will be in 2014.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance ONE of my best memories as a young entertainment writer was attending the first Kiss media conference in Sydney in 1980. I was a dedicated Black Sabbath fan and was overwhelmed at how humble these rockers were. I talked with Gene and Paul, and scored a Kiss token and a Kiss jacket. I went to the concert at Waverley Park in November 1980 courtesy of the promoter. Tickets cost $14 for unreserved seats. My wife of 10 months, Deborah, caught the eye of Ace Frehley who quickly pointed his finger in her direction with a glee; mind you some years before Deborah had Angus Young on his knees playing to her feet in a small crowd at the Sandown Park Hotel. I am often reminded of what could have been; wife of a rock star. It is amazing to see that two Jewish kids, Stanley Eisen (Paul Stanley) and Eugene Klein (Gene Simmons) would still be performing members of one of the greatest rock’n’roll bands 40 years later. Stanley and Simmons (pictured) were talented in their own right; Stanley had a background in marketing and advertising, and Simmons had a degree in journalism and was an editorial assistant for Vogue as well as a keen collector of Marvel Comics. After advertising in the rock mag Rolling Stone for a drummer and guitarist, Kiss was born and played their first gig at Coventry in Queens, New York, on 30 January 1974. Kiss became a concert attraction, the music became almost secondary. They were a strange phenomenon for without airplay Kiss albums Alive, Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, and Dynasty went gold or even platinum. By the late Seventies the most important part of the Kiss empire was merchandising, selling up to $100,000 worth at each concert. Destroyer remains one of the best rock albums produced and the latest Kiss offering, Monster (Universal),

By Gary Turner

their 20th studio album, is the closest to Destroyer; no keyboards, orchestra or outside songwriters, just fullthrottle guitars and drums. Monster has 12 tracks and collaborations from all four members, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. The album’s first single, the rocker Hell or Hallelujah, is an example of the old Kiss, outlining the group’s long-held “take no prisoners philosophy”. Drummer Singer impresses with vocals on All for the Love of Rock and Roll. Tommy Thayer does lead vocals on Outta This World, my favourite track and impressive harmonies on this track. Gene Simmons’s haunting vocals can be heard on Back to the Stone Age and the signature Kiss sound of old is heard on Take Me Down with a thumping bass guitar and drums – rock’n’roll heaven.

A team effort on vocals has given the album some impressive harmonies evident on Eat Your Heart Out. Paul Stanley produced the album and enlisted Greg Collins as coproducer. Collins has worked with Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gwen Stefani, U2, System of a Down, Meiko, Matchbox Twenty and Meatloaf. The strong pop hooks and perfect sounding production of Monster may not appeal to die-hard heavy metal fans, but it isn’t heavy metal, it’s pop-metal, and arguably the best popmetal ever recorded. Melbourne promoter Andrew McManus is in discussions with Kiss Management and Kiss is expected to tour early 2013. www.kissonline.com www. mcmanusentertainment.com *** GEORGE Michael has cancelled his

2012 Australian tour. “I have today announced the cancellation of the shows in Australia which breaks my heart,” he said in a press release. “By way of explanation all I can say at this time is that since last year’s illness I have tried in vain to work my way through the trauma that the doctors who saved my life warned me I would experience. “They recommended complete rest and the type of post-traumatic counselling that is available in cases like mine but I’m afraid I believed (wrongly) that making music and getting out there to perform for the audiences that bring me such joy would be therapy enough in itself. “Unfortunately I seriously underestimated how difficult this year would be and although I was

American filmmaker and the “Behead the infidels” rubbish is so far over the top that such actions put our freedom at risk. Thankfully they come from Sydney. We are all guilty of compromising our sense of right and wrong, but this is ridiculous. Politicians are required to support many things they don’t agree with in the name of their future and prosperity, which equates to lying, obviously. Julia lies, Tony lies, as indeed we do. The problem is their lies have the effect (if you let it) of reverberating through our lives. The next time somebody says to you “You lied to me” simply answer “So we’re even”. I can never be accused of “lying through my teeth” other than seven; the rest are in a cup in my bathroom. *** ACCORDING to The Senior News there are 90,000 over 50s on Newstart with little hope of getting a job and receiving $133 a week less than the old age pension. Take away 10 per cent who would no doubt earn income but not declare it and this leaves about 80,000 people doing it tough. Time for an increase, Julia. A parliamentary inquiry has recommended creating new roles: a Minister for Older People and a Commissioner for Older People. Funny ha ha. An extra dollar in the kick and the elimination of

discrimination or simply building bigger castles? Time will tell. *** LOOKING forward to 25 October when handsome Teddy apologises for the pain and suffering of mothers and children due to the dreadful forced adoption practices from the 1950s to the ’70s. Only took a 40 years for politicians et al to wake up to the obvious. 250.000 babies. Sad, bad. *** ON 13 December Luna Park will be 100 years old as will the scenic railway. Later additions included the Giggle Palace, Big Dipper, photobooth (the moon), dodgem cars, Ghost Train, Rotor and my teen favourite, the river caves. I asked a female to ride with me through the river caves once and amazingly she agreed. A pretty girl, tubby; didn’t ask her name. Kissed her all the way not knowing what to talk about anyway (who do you barrack for?). I was with a mate, so I thanked her and rejoined my mate. She was nice, tasty. I was an idiot. In 1949 I had a shilling each way on Foxami in the Melbourne Cup, compliments of my darling Auntie Mill. Collected 22 shillings, rode the Big Dipper 20 times; don’t recall thanking Auntie. Mad memories. *** ON 5 October I undertook the long

trek to Rye RSL for dinner and Exiles: A Tribute to The Rolling Stones for $45. The two-course dinner was fine but The Pebbles fell well short of my expectations. Thankfully I won a meat tray to offset the cost, albeit complete with a suggestion that I spend most of my time under the doona thinking of things to say. Hmmm. Perhaps the burlesque night next January is more my scene, assuming it’s not all male. *** EXPECT the five councillors who voted against the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore to be up and about right up to 6pm on 26 October, the day votes are due at the VEC for the shire council elections. They lost the vote 6-5 and refused to accept this democratic vote. Then followed a stream of letters from “the usual suspects” to our free newspapers.

A Grain of Salt THE Buddhist theory of patience and tolerance is interesting. I’ve always been like a good fighter – verbally, definitely not physically – and being impatient and getting more than a little annoyed is something I did well early in life. In terms of creativity, it takes passion to become a successful artist; a successful anything. Anger, impatience and the other “negative” emotions are not wrong in themselves; your anger blows over and is forgotten minutes later, but others don’t forget, so we learn to keep our extreme emotions inside. The problem? If you eliminate all the negative emotions, you inevitably must eliminate all emotions and the more you succumb, the more it becomes entrenched. Passion is part of the human experience and denying passion is taking a pass on being human. If you are wondering why artists are wrapped a little tightly it could be because they are feeling the passion and letting it drive their work. Enthusiasm, self-belief, persistence and passion. The next time you want to cry or explode give it a shot. Buddha will understand. *** FREEDOM of speech is a wonderful thing. The Muslims protesting in Sydney because of a whacko

By Cliff Ellen Planning Minister Matthew Guy talks the talk of 38-year-old. Suspicious, but being of fair mind, let’s pop him into the “wait and see” blue basket; but not for too long. Pokies precommitment legislation no more? You betcha. Car parking at Melbourne Airport delivers 93 cents in the dollar profit to shareholders; Buckley’s chance of a rail link. I’d be lost without my landline; how else would I locate my mobile phone? I wonder why they stopped making cream puffs? “A writer or an artist is a storyteller, but, if any good, also a myth-maker. The goal you should strive for is a mythic goal. You take reality, anchor it in the facts and raise it to a level of myth.” Elia Kazan Take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila... Byee. cliffie9@bigpond.com

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Decline of human civilisation – part three By Stuart McCullough IT has come to this. After thousands if not millions of years of steady progress, the human species finally has given up on evolution and decided to grind to a halt. It is clear to me that there can be no going forward after this. As obstacles go, this one can only be described as insurmountable. For we may have survived plagues, wars and natural calamities with barely a misstep but there is little hope that we’ll ever get over “Gangnum Style”. According to the internet, the video for Psy’s song Gangnum Style has been viewed 70 billion times and is more popular than the moon landing, last year’s Moomba parade and the episode of Neighbours were Scott and Charlene got married while being bombarded by Angry Anderson combined. Worse than just being a novelty video, the song is this country’s number one single. This is a disaster. Everything about the song is terrible. Its extraordinary success is enough to cause the most reasonable among us to question whether a merciful god can exist when Gangnum style is allowed to prosper. I’ve seen numerous articles trying desperately to wring some greater meaning out of the song’s runaway success but, frankly, it’s like trying to get blood from a stone. There is no meaning. It’s just a slightly overweight dude riding a pretend horse instead of proper dancing. While Psy will, if not laugh all the way to the bank, then certainly ride his imaginary horse there, for the rest of us it’s time to admit that something, somewhere has gone horribly, horribly wrong. It’s not the first awful song to climb

to music’s lofty summit or even the first novelty song to push proper music out of the way in its rush to dominate the public’s attention. When George Orwell wrote of a bleak, dystopian future set in 1984, he must have had a premonition that Black Lace would release Agadoo that very year. It was a huge hit and makes Psy look like Shakespeare in comparison. In what must have been a moment of collective temporary madness, it sold more than a million copies worldwide. Goodness knows how many they might have offloaded had the internet existed. Years later, it would be voted the fourth most annoying song of all time.

It doesn’t stand thinking what the top three might have been. If you’ve never heard Agadoo, I beg you not to go looking for it. As it stands, your ears owe you a favour. Novelty songs are something of a very mixed bag. Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West) by Benny Hill was a chart-topper and had a story to tell. Lydia the Tattooed Lady by Groucho Marx is a work of genius. The same goes for The Court of King Caractacus by Rolf Harris. Stutter Rap (No Sleep Til Bedtime) by Morris Minor and the Majors is brilliant parody. In the other corner we have My Ding A Ling by Chuck Berry, which is every bit as sophisticated as it sounds.

Coffee Lounge & Take-away

But while Chuck was a rock ’n’ roll legend, those responsible for novelty songs often have a fleeting relationship with fame. For Psy, it’s a matter of making as much hay as he can before the sun stops shining forever. As much as I’d like to blame the internet, it is not entirely at fault. Novelty songs took something of a nasty turn somewhere in the 1990s. To this day Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus can reduce me to tears. Not because it manages to summon up thoughts of summers past or loves lost but for its sheer, unadulterated dreadfulness. It’s a little known fact that East Berliners gave serious consideration to renovating the Berlin Wall as

a means of keeping Billy Ray’s song and his army of mutant bootscootin’ freaks he had as fans at a safe distance. Who can blame them? Then there was the matter of The Baha Men. They asked one question and one question alone; namely, ‘Who Let the Dogs Out?’ In response, I have a question of my own: why? Why would you release such a terrible song? It’s a question that should now be asked of Psy. Some mention must be made of the video clip. It may be that the video for Gangnum Style has done for imaginary horse riding what Achy Breaky Heart did for line dancing. That’s not a good thing. For myself, there’s a lot about it I can’t pretend to understand. There’s the slightly perplexing scene in the sauna when the rapper seems ready to take a power nap on the shoulder of a stranger. Then there’s the shot of Psy dancing on a speedboat while wearing a lifejacket; proving that he not only has an eye for the ladies but for safety also. Finally, there’s the bit where Psy is singing while seated on the toilet, providing perhaps the clearest insight into the song’s creation. Is this what the internet has given us – a world in which the odd and ultimately useless can rise up and dominate us all? I hope not. Perhaps we’ve always lived in an age of novelty and the internet just serves to magnify it. I just hope that the next big song to come along is worthy of all the attention and not just a waste of space. It would break my achy breaky heart if it were otherwise. www.stuartmccullough

Somie rolls Carrum as Seaford and Parkers fight for supremacy DISTRICT By IT Gully DESPITE rain affecting a lot of cricket on Saturday, there were five matches in MPCA District grade. At the conclusion of day one of the second round match between Carrum and Somerville, the Lions have a lot of work to do to get the 12 points. Winning the toss and batting first, Carrum was dismissed for 152 in 74 overs. If not for 82 from Dean Polson, the Carrum scorecard would have looked a lot worse. Aaron Kaddatz has started the season in fine fashion for Somerville and claimed the dangerous Josh Dent early in the innings. Kaddatz struck eight runs later when he picked up the prized wicket of Shawn Foster, caught behind by Craig Black for just seven. Polson then took to the Eagles’ bowlers before being removed with the score on 121. The Lions then lost four wickets for three runs, giving the Eagles the upper hand. Cory Foster offered resistance late in the Carrum innings with 23.

Kaddatz finished with four wickets, and Sam Delaney and Russell Wilkes picked up a couple each. Seaford set Delacombe Park 200 for victory after scoring 199 in 74.1 overs on Saturday. Considering the match is being played at Delacombe, combined with the fact the Parkers are potent with the bat, 199 might not be enough. Teenager Damien Lawrence was once again the shining light with the bat for Seaford, scoring 51, while Chris Cleef at the top of the innings scored a valuable 45. Reeling a little at 6/135, skipper Nathan Volpe (35) worked with Andy McMannis (18) to push the total close to 200. Steve Anderson was the pick of the Parkers’ bowlers with 4/31 from 22 overs, and Varun Singh claimed 2/45 from 17. Pines has given Frankston YCW a mountain of work to do. In fact, the Piners will be looking for an outright win. Pines batted first and compiled 250 in 62 overs. Harley Peace-Stirling top-scored with 71, Brett Hudgson made 55 and Harley Parker opened with

41, while skipper Ricky Ramsdale scored 35. In reply, the Stonecats are in trouble at 3/19. Nick Wilcox took 2/3. Langwarrin appears to be on top in its match against Main Ridge at Lloyd Park. The Ridge won the toss and elected to bat, but was in some early trouble at 2/28. Gareth Wyatt was the star of the show with the bat for the visitors, scoring 90. Only two other players scored double figures. Main Ridge was bowled out in the 52nd over for 148. Dwayne Doig was the pick of the bowlers for the Kangas, claiming 5/56 from 22 overs, and Andy Johnson and Mal Coutts each claimed two wickets. In reply, the home side is 1/39, Simon McEvoy unbeaten on 22. Boneo will be hoping to build on its sensational day one against Baden Powell. Winning the toss and sending the visitors in to bat, the ploy paid off as the Braves were bowled out for 102 in the 40th over. In reply, Boneo is in command at 1/52 after 25 overs.

Hoppers face outright embarrassment SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully IT’S been a tough couple of years for Dromana Cricket Club and things didn’t improve on Saturday against Rosebud. The Hoppers have been subject to a number of outright defeats in recent seasons and they are staring down the barrel of another one in MPCA Sub-district cricket. At Rosebud’s Olympic Park, the visitors won the toss and chose to bat. Just 36 overs later, Dromana was all out for just 55. Not one Dromana player made it to double figures. The highest score was nine from Andrew Thomson. There were 41 runs made off the bat. Extras contributed 14 to the total, including eight byes. Jason Nagel mauled the opposition, snaring 7/17 from 18 overs, including eight maidens, while Scott Millar also bowled 18 overs and picked up 3/25. In reply, Rosebud was 1/34 before rain stopped play. Darren Kerr is not out on 24. Carrum Downs’ batsmen were thanking their bowlers for their efforts with the bat after a horror afternoon in the middle against Seaford Tigers. Strangely enough, the Cougars were celebrating at the end of the day. The Cougars were 4/9 and 7/32 before the tail began to offer some resistance. They

finished on 59 after Chamara Perera made 15 and Tim Aydin 12. Cory Hand picked up four wickets for the Tigers. Seaford was then bowled out for 77, Perera snaring 5/20 off 17 overs. Starting 22 runs behind on day two, Carrum Downs will be hoping for a reverse outright this weekend on the second day of the clash. Tootgarook had a day out with the ball against the competition’s newcomers French Island. The Islanders, who have been playing in A1, had the bye in round one and received a hostile reception at Truemans Rd in Rosebud West on Saturday. The home side won the toss and elected to bowl. Inside 25 overs, the Tooters were batting after bowling out French Island for 44 in 24 overs. Dale Stephens and Paul Stevenson picked up five wickets each. Tootgarook will be looking for an outright win. The team batted for 48 overs for a return of 2/156. Luke Thompson is not out 67 and you would reckon skipper Scott Didcock will allow him to go for triple figures before declaring and putting the Islanders back in. The matches between Balnarring and Tyabb and Red Hill and Skye were washed out and they will play one-day matches this Saturday.

King of knocking over castles’ 8/37 PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO appears to be in the box seat heading into day two of Provincial cricket this Saturday against Long Island, thanks to a sizzling performance from opening bowler “AJ” King on day one. King bowled a blistering spell of 22 overs, which included nine maidens. He finished the afternoon with 8/37. Both finalists last season, the Sharks made light work of the Islanders’ batting order, dismissing them for just 125 in 55 overs. There is little question Long Island’s batting line-up looks brittle without Michael Burke, who is enjoying some time off before resuming some time before Christmas. Paul Hartle was forced to open the batting on Saturday and while he top scored for the Islanders with 48, it left the middle order looking vulnerable. Justin Bridgeman (21) and Joel Stevenson (26) had an impact but no other Long Island bat scored more than 10.

The afternoon belonged to the Sorrento bowlers, led by King. Anthony Blackwell rolled the arm over for 13 overs and was rewarded with figures of 2/34. Keeper Rob Dunball snared four catches. In reply, the Sharks are cruising at 0/39, having faced the last 20 overs of the day. Jedd Flack remains at the crease, unbeaten on 14, while Nick Jewell is not out 22. A wonderful century from Mornington keeper Rob Hearn has given his side some chance of victory against the benchmark of the competition, Baxter. With just another three players scoring double figures, Hearn almost single-handedly helped the Doggies to 195 in 68.3 overs. Brodie Symons was the next best for Mornington with 16. Hearn hit 13 boundaries in his total of 124 when opening the innings for the Dogs. Skipper Luke Popov went for a duck. The star of the show for Baxter was youngster Sam Wolsgrove, who snared 6/52 from 19 overs. Mark Uccello claimed 2/46 from 14.3 and Adrian Mack was eco-

nomical as usual, bowling 19 overs for a return of 1/30. In reply, the reigning champions are 0/31 after six overs, Shane McComb unbeaten on 20. Heatherhill will need to be at its best with the ball, defending 171 this week against Crib Point. The Hills won the toss and elected to bat at Crib Point Rec Reserve, keeper-batsman Dean Shaw getting his side away to a flier with 59. A number of players in the middle order got starts, but were able to go on with it. Teenager Kristian Miller made 23, John Hille 20 and Christian Heath 21, and skipper Matty Meagher made 18. Member of the “Kelly Gang” Glenn Barclay was in a destructive mood, taking 8/37 from 23.2 overs. Brad Davidson was the other wicket-taker for the Pies, bowling 25 overs and snaring 2/67. All other matches in Provincial were washed out and the teams will play one-dayers this weekend.

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

French are coming: Left, Shahwardi with Kerrin McEvoy races away from Excluded ridden by Craig Williams in Herbert Power Handicap at Caulfield on Saturday. Above, Allison Bennett, trainer of New York. Pictures: Slickpix

Although Saturday was his first win in three years, Shahwardi showed he was on the way back by finishing a pleasing third in the Group 2 Prix Kergorlay (3000m) at Deauville in July. Another French cup aspirant, Brigantin, also has come through the Prix Kergorlay. Trained by the “little general” Andre Fabre at Chantilly, Brigantin finished second to the globetrotting Joshua Tree (who won the Canadian International on Monday morning Australian time) and a long neck ahead of Shahwardi. Interestingly both Americain and Dunaden contested the Prix Kergorlay on their way to Melbourne. Cranbourne trainer Michael Kent’s sights would have risen as a result Shahwardi’s triumphant performance

at Caulfield. Tac de Boistron, a newcomer to his stable, defeated Shahwardi in the Group 2 Maurice de Nieull over 2800 metres at Longchamp in July. A winner of five of his 26 starts, Tac de Boistron has progressed this year and Kent is confident he will be competitive in the Melbourne Cup. Former Test cricketer and television commentator Simon O’Donnell can expect to pick up prizemoney with imported Gatewood over the coming weeks. Sent out favourite in the Herbert Power, Gatewood was travelling like a winner before being shuffled to last approaching the home turn. He didn’t receive a clear passage after this and virtually cantered home in seventh place. Even though well beaten, he indi-

cated he would be a force in any race. Leading trainer Mark Kavanagh has won a Melbourne Cup and a Cox Plate, but Sunday’s victory in the $200,000 Cranbourne Cup gave him as much satisfaction as any of his other achievements. Kavanagh was chuffed because he had brought Midnight Martini back from injury “She was on her way to the Melbourne Cup when she suffered a serious back injury on Derby Day last year,” Kavanagh said. “There was a time I doubted she would race again but we put a lot of work into her and now she is right, we just have to keep her ticking along. “We’re pretty pleased with what we’ve done and the win is a credit to everyone connected to the stable.”

With Midnight Martini on the comeback trail, Kavanagh will aim her at the Group 2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on 10 November. Although Boom ‘n’ Zoom failed in his attempt to win back-to-back Cranbourne Cups, local trainer Ken Keys was pleased with the performance. Keys said Boom ‘n’ Zoom, who finished seventh in the race, was excused by his jockey Glen Boss: “Glen told me they went too slowly for Boom ‘n’ Zoom to put himself in the finish,” Keys said. The gelding was still coming home when the race was virtually over. Keys said he is looking forward to Boom ‘n’ Zoom’s next race – the 2400m Bendigo Cup on 31 October. Moe trainer Allison Bennett is looking to bigger races following New York’s victory in a restricted handicap at Cranbourne. “He has been slow to develop and mature,” Bennett said of the five-yearold. “Because of this we have taken him along quietly but the way he won suggests to me he is ready to tackle the Country Cup at Flemington on Oaks Day.”  International form expert Peter Ellis provides weekly racing tips online at the Tatts website.

Determined anglers rewarded ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro LET’S face it, fishing is all about catching fish! We may say it’s about the time on the water and doesn’t matter if we bag a brace or not, but come on, that’s all bull. Nowadays our time is precious; we are attuned to get results for our efforts and fishing is no different. People who put in the time and effort in learning their “trade” are rewarded. The internet is a great place for theory but, as all good scientists know, it’s practical application that produces results. Put basically, nothing compares to time on the water but preparation is everything. The start of this year’s snapper season has highlighted this as luck is playing little part and those putting in the time doing research and the hours with a rod are being rewarded.

Where they’re biting

Snapper With the weather changing so rapidly, we are yet to see consistent snapper fishing. Matthew Hunt of Matthew Hunt fishing services (0419 760 510) landed some nice snapper last week departing out of Carrum, while Simon Rinaldi of Red Hot Fishing Charters (0409 188 751) is also bagged some nice fish departing out of both Carrum and Mornington. At Schnapper Point Boat Hire we have seen the same as everybody else with great days followed by slow days. There is no pattern to the

PAGE 44

fish yet but over the next few weeks this will stabilise. The snapper in Port Phillip have been up to 7.5kg last week. Western Port is much the same as Port Phillip. There are schools of snapper from Hastings to Warneet, but they are not always on the bite. The only way to bag a brace is persistence. Those putting in the time are finding snapper to 10kg. For anglers using Yaringa Boat Hire, the reds have been coming in but with no real consistency. Best baits at the moment are pilchards and squid. As for land-based options, Shaun of Zealcol Burley fished off Brighton pier last week and landed two snapper in the 3kg range as well as a few pinkies. Mornington pier and Mt Martha rocks are also worth a try at night and plenty of burley has been the key to success. Squid The inkers have slowed a little in southern Port Phillip, but there have been good catches of specimens up to 3 kg. Further up Port Phillip the squid continue to be slow. For land-based anglers, Sorrento, Portsea and Blairgowrie are the best choice for Port Phillip while in Western Port, Stony Point, Flinders and Warneet continue to produce. From boats in Western Port, the best catches are coming from Stony Point to Tyabb. Whiting Fish are being caught in southern

Western Port News 16 October 2012

Port Phillip with Rye to St Leonards being the best choice. In Western Port whiting are like the snapper and slowly getting better. Jonny of Yaringa Boat Hire recommends fishing Watsons Inlet and said people fishing for whiting also are catching grass whiting, leatherjacket, flathead and mackerel. Best baits have been mussel and fresh squid. Gummy sharks Some nice gummies to 15kg have been boated this week in Western Port. Best results are coming from the top end of the bay and fresh fish and squid baits have done the damage. Yaringa Harbour Last week anglers departing Yaringa boat harbour bagged a seafood basket with snapper, squid, gummy shark, whiting, gurnard, leatherjacket, flathead, salmon and mackerel. One lucky fisherman managed to bag his first snapper for the season and then five dolphins swam around the boat, delighting him and his wife. Tight lines and calm seas.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for magazines and brings his knowledge to MP News Group for season 2012-13.

Wet weather stops matches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; again HASTINGS CRICKET By Greg Bradshaw THE fickle weather forced the cancellation of Firsts and Seconds games again on the weekend due to the state of the grounds. Games will be played as one-dayers against Flinders this weekend. There was some cricket played with the Thirds taking on Main Ridge, which batted first and got off to flyer with 39 runs off the first six overs. Kevin Watson then claimed wickets in successive overs to make the score 2/52, but runs kept flowing on the tiny Main Ridge No 2 ground. Gavin Doig was introduced into the attack with immediate effect. At drinks, Main Ridges was 5/91. Doig bowled very well, taking 2/21 off his 10 overs while Chris Marsh bowled a tidy spell in the final 15 overs, finishing with 4/36 off nine, and Watson finished with 3/20 off his 10 overs. Main Ridge was dismissed for 155 off 37 overs, a good comeback by Hastings. Pat Foy and Glenn Jansz opened the batting, getting off to a good start before Foy was dismissed for 22, 1/42. Lee Attard joined Jansz and they put on a 63run partnership before Attard was out for 25, 2/105 off 22 overs. Jansz continued to play well, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much support as wickets fell around him. When he was dismissed for a well-made 56, Hastings was 5/140 with 12 overs to get 16 runs. Wickets make pressure and 6/149 became all out for 154 with the last wicket falling due to a silly run out and a one-run loss. The Fourths fronted up to Pearcedale on Sunday, lost the toss and batted. With only three

players from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiership side returning, the side was very young. Against tidy bowling Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bats struggled to score and crashed to 5/55 in the 16th over. Nick Guest and Simon Clancy then put together a face-saving 49-run partnership, then came a little cameo from Kyle Robb to take the score to 141 off 40 overs. Guest played a patient innings to be last man out with 51, Robb made 20 and Aaron Vinson 16. The Pearcedale innings never got going with Steven Robb taking a wicket with his third ball and Guest the next to see Pearcedale slump to 2/7. Only one batsman reached double figures, 15, as Pearcedale were was out for 64. Hastings used nine bowlers with Clancy taking 3/8 from three overs, Nathan Goodacre 2/9, Ethan Williams 2/8 in his first-ever game of cricket, K Robb 1/3, S Robb 1/5 and Guest 1/5. The under-15s played Tootgarook in the constant drizzle on Saturday morning in a 20-over a side match. Hastings batted first, scoring 8/54 with Matt Foy making 10 and Brodie Prestage 9. Tootgarook chased down the runs in the 17th over to finish with 4/69. Foy took 1/5. Andrew Jeffs 1/9, Jesse Moffat 1/6 7 Sean Hewitt 1/2. The under-13s team was scheduled to play Flinders but the ground was unusable and the 12 points were shared. Next weekend the under-11s begin the season on Friday night, starting at 5pm with training on Tuesday night at 4.30 The trivia night was a success with everyone having a great night. Thanks to Luke Hewitt for his efforts. Next function is a Melbourne Cup Day event on 6 November at 12.30pm.
