No answer to skinned dog By Keith Platt POLICE are baffled by the partial skinning of a labrador found dead in the backyard of its owners’ Hastings house. “It’s quite bizarre, really,” Leading Senior Constable Nick Sweetman said. He said the dog had been dead before the skin was removed. One of its owners told police she found 17-year-old Pepper in the back-

yard with her two other dogs at about 7pm on Sunday 28 August. Pepper had a 40 centimetre by 15 centimetre piece of skin missing from her back and had lost one ear. The dog was still wearing her winter jacket. Leading Senior Constable Sweetman said one vet believed the injuries could have been caused by another animal while a second vet believed a straight

edge to the cut “would have needed the use of an object”. Both vets agreed the injuries had been caused after Pepper, who was suffering from cancer, had died. Leading Senior Constable Sweetman said the backyard of the Salmon St property was surrounded by a paling fence. “Whatever happened, there has been no offence committed,” he said.

“We’ve pursued all lines of inquiry and don’t know if an animal or human was involved.” He said Pepper appeared to have died between 5.30pm and 7pm while a woman who lived in the house was at home. “She heard the dogs barking, but didn’t think anything of it because it was near their feeding time,” Leading Senior Constable Sweetman said.

Worrythoughts makes a tour to ease anxiety THE theatre version of Nicky Johnston’s book Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! is about to begin a tour that will include Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne and Geelong. The Langwarrin mother initially wrote the book to help her first child Bayley, who was struggling to eat, sleep or laugh because of anxiety. Statistics show that while about 14 per cent of Australian children have mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and behavioural problems, only one in four receives professional help. The book was such a success that Ms Johnston wrote another, Happythoughts are Everywhere, as well as a resource kit for parents and teachers. In the next few months she will release a third book, Actually I Can. With help from Frankston Council and support from Grenda, Sign-A-Rama and the Rotary Club of Frankston, Frankston Arts Centre developed a 40-minute theatrical adaptation of Go Away Mr Worrythoughts!, which last year toured 48 primary schools. The show was developed in consultation with Ms Johnston and is now on tour with a new cast under director Kaarin Fairfax, of Mt Eliza, whose daughter Maddy Kelly plays three parts – Tanya, a mother and a teacher. The other actors are Marco Baretta (Mr Worrythoughts) of Somers and Kieran Stubbs (Bayden) of Mt Martha. The arts centre hopes to take the tour national in 2013 and says strong

interest is already being shown from New South Wales and Queensland. “Since 2005, Frankston Arts Centre has focused on using the arts to stimulate mental health and wellbeing in our communities,” manager Robin Batt said. “Research suggests children who suffer from high anxiety are more likely to become anxious adults. Depression and anxiety are largely preventable conditions, and council’s

involvement in this innovative production will have many benefits.” Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! will be at Frankston Arts Centre’s Cube 37 on Friday 7 September at 4pm and 6pm.

Wheel approach to city’s polio walk FRAN Henke wants dog walkers and mobility scooter riders to help her increase awareness and raise money for people with late effects of polio. Mrs Henke, right, cannot make the official Walk With Me organised by Polio Australia and Scope at Federation Square at 11am on 9 September so has decided to take her scooter and dogs to Hastings foreshore. She named the event Scoot With Me and set a “modest” target of raising $200 for Polio Australia. However, the initial response from Facebook “friends” was so great that an extra nought has been added to her target. “All donations go to Polio Australia, which is committed to standardising quality polio information and service provision across Australia,” she said. “Last week on the peninsula while working for the Winter Blanket Appeal, I met someone who had three failed surgeries on a polio leg resulting in years of pain and depression. The person did not know about polio-specific information for surgeons and anaesthetists. “My mission is to alert more polio survivors and the medical profession to the late effects and ensure correct support is provided.” The community relations officer for Carrum Downs Community Bank and a regular contribu-

tor to this newspaper, Mrs Henke was a delegate from Victoria in the re-establishment of Polio Australia in Sydney in 2007. She is chair of the Polio Reference Group for Polio Network Victoria, auspiced by Independence Australia, and a member of the Mornington Peninsula Post Polio Support Group. Meet Mrs Henke at 11am on Sunday at Hastings foreshore for the Scoot With Me fundraiser. Donations can be made at: http://polioaustralia. gofundraise.com.au/page/Franscoot

Foreshore stroll to help marine life THE dolphins don’t know it, but people are walking to help them survive in the sea. The Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute is holding its annual fundraising Walk for Western Port on Saturday 8 September. Two different walks are planned, one starting at 10am to Jacks Beach and back, and the shorter Hastings foreshore walk at 11am. Both walks end at midday for presentation of prizes and “coastal education activities”.

Registrations will be taken 30 minutes before each walk at the foreshore park in Marine Pde, Hastings (Melway 154 K11). The Jacks Beach walk follows the boardwalk through Warringine Park while the foreshore walk is around the park. Western Port Marina bistro is offering lunch discounts for walkers. For details about the institute and Walk for Western Port go to www.dolphinresearch.org.au or www.facebook.com/driface

Invitation to talk about town’s future BITTERN residents are invited to provide their views about how the town can be improved at a “meeting marketplace” on Sunday. Run by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s strategic planning unit, the event runs from 11am-1pm to allow residents to “drop in” for any length of time. Shire planner Emily Woodin said the shire had spoken to more than 150 residents in July “ to find out what they value about the town [and] what possibilities exist for improvement”. The Sunday meeting was to gather more views for future plans. Five important themes gathered so far included preserving Bittern’s small

town character, community wellbeing, improving road safety and public transport, improving services and infrastructure, and “making things happen in Bittern”. The meeting is in Bittern Community Hall, 2426 Frankston-Flinders Rd. Food and refreshments will be available, and there will be a drawing competition for children. More information is on the shire’s website at: www.mornpen.vic.gov.au under “Have Your Say”. Readers who cannot attend the meeting, can contact Emily Woodin at the shire on 5950 1928 or email: strategic. admin@mornpen.vic.gov.au

‘Woman’ to face knife charges A 29-year-old Hastings man is likely to face charges of assaulting police after he allegedly attacked them with a knife on Saturday afternoon. The alleged assault happened after police were told about a woman wielding a knife dangerously near people in the car park near Safeway. The incident was reported by an offduty policeman who followed the alleged offender toward the pier. Police in a divisional van spoke with her in the street, but she headed back

toward the shopping centre “and came at them with a knife”, Acting Senior Sergeant Steve Mcrae, of Hastings police, said. The police used capsicum spray to end the attack and discovered that their assailant was a man dressed as a woman. The man was taken to Frankston Hospital for psychiatric assessment and will probably be charged on summons. Keith Platt

Occupier wanted: Expressions of interest are being sought for the use of the historic fisherman’s shed at Hastings.

New use sought for historic shed SEA views, surrounded by water and having strong historical links. An estate agent would have few problems in spelling out the potential uses for the “fisherman’s shed” on Hastings pier. Parks Victoria, which wants to lease the shed, is a bit more down to earth, suggesting it could be used for tour-

before being taken, on ice, to markets in Melbourne. Early photographs show there were two almost identical sheds. Expressions of interest for the future use of the shed must be lodged with Parks Victoria by Wednesday 19 September.

Promise to cut red tape

Trippers stranded

DUNKLEY MP Bruce Billson says he is working with the Baxter Village retirement centre to â&#x20AC;&#x153;identify areas of unnecessary red tape and compliance burdens in the aged care sectorâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Billson visited the centre in Robinsons Rd to â&#x20AC;&#x153;talk aged careâ&#x20AC;? after it won a national award for better practice and retention of staff. He said the Liberal-National Coalition, if elected, was committed to cutting $1 billion worth of red tape â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we believe that local providers, like the Baxter Village, can help us identify the real life examples of red tapeâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to find ways to make sure aged care workers are looking after their clients and not filling out endless amounts of paperwork that serve no specific purpose,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Billson, who is Opposition spokesman for small business, competition policy and consumer affairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost 70 per cent of the work of the senior nurses at some aged care facilities is taken up by paperwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to work with local service providers and the business community to help identify ways of making life easier instead of harder through ridiculous regulation.â&#x20AC;?

THE circumnavigation of Phillip Island by two power ski riders came to an abrupt end on Sunday night when they hit a sand bank between Sandy Point and Hanns Inlet. Acting Senior Sergeant Steve McRae, of Hastings police, said the men in their 40s from Lilydale and Nunawading hit the bank about 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock and were stranded for nearly five hours before they could refloat their craft on the incoming tide.

EFFORTS by a mobile phone thief to extort money from 15-year-old girl ended with his arrest less than 24 hours later. Hastings police were told that a boy, 14, stole the phone from the girl while at a party on Friday night. The boy allegedly sent text messages demanding money for the return of the phone. Police caught up with the boy on Saturday afternoon, issuing a caution, which includes a police record for a limited amount of time.

Plan will see villages in wedges

By David Harrison DE facto villages with hundreds of permanent residents could spring up across the Mornington Peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive rural areas under proposed changes to Victorian planning laws. Planning Minister Matthew Guy proposes to allow numerous urban facilities in the green wedge that at present are prohibited or heavily restricted. The facilities include many that are essential for permanent settlements, including accom-

modation, shops, medical centres, schools, restaurants, service stations and businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even display homes and abattoirs. Settlements would be permitted on virtually any site in a green wedge zone starting with caravan and camping parks providing hundreds of sites for caravans as well as family-sized lodges and cabins of the sort found at holiday resorts. The parks would help ease Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing shortage by supplying permanent, low-cost accommodation on the fringes of the metropolis.

Western Port News 4 September 2012

At least one Mornington Peninsula group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Peninsula Advisory Committee for the Elderly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has welcomed the potential to house poor, elderly and disadvantaged people. Mornington Peninsula Shire has tried unsuccessfully to regulate caravan and camping parks. A 2009 proposal to separate them from urban areas, to control their size and to prevent longterm residency caused uproar from both opponents and proponents. The proposal has been mothballed. At present, Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 green wedge zones are strictly controlled to keep out urban development. For example, a restaurant or convention centre can only be built on a property of 40 hectares or more, can have no more than 150 patrons at any one time and must demonstrate an â&#x20AC;&#x153;essential linkâ&#x20AC;? with agriculture. The restrictions all go under the Matthew Guy proposals, meaning unlimited patrons, no minimum land size and no link with agriculture. Former premier Sir Rupert Hamer and his planning minister Alan Hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; father of current federal Liberal spokesman on the environment, Flinders MP Greg Hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; worked hard to ensure the green wedge zones they created in 1971 remained green. Some proposed new uses are â&#x20AC;&#x153;as of rightâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning they cannot be challenged either by local government or neighbours. The community will be rendered powerless to stop development by the removal of rights that now exist in planning law. A further major change will be the effective destruction of the line that separates urban from rural land use â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the crucial and controversial urban

growth boundary, which prevents urban intrusion into green wedge zones. This means homeowners who now abut green wedge land could find that a school or a 1000-guest convention centre can be built over their back fence on a small land parcel. Loss of the urbanâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;rural boundary would inevitably be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;end of the wedgeâ&#x20AC;? as more and more developer pressure is applied to the state government for more and bigger urban activity on what was farmland. Where appeals to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal are still possible to try to prevent or modify planning applications, the vagueness of the new laws will create great uncertainty. Mornington Peninsula Shire, which strongly opposes the Guy changes, has argued in its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interim Position Statementâ&#x20AC;? that the ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;reformsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as the shire describes them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; create less certainty than at present, despite Mr Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim they create more certainty. The reforms may well result in more VCAT cases and a system that morphs into â&#x20AC;&#x153;planning by appealâ&#x20AC;?, the shire states. According to virtually all community groups forced to seek redress in the tribunal, VCAT has a long and impressive record of neighbourhood butchery. It is without doubt Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most deeply resented tribunal. It has the legal luxury of not being bound to follow its own precedents and its decisions can rarely be challenged â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then only on points of law in the Supreme Court, a prohibitively expensive venue for community groups challenging wealthy landowners, developers or local councils with deep pockets.

Change spells doom for peninsula By David Gill THE Mornington Peninsula will be gone like the Tassie devil if state Minister for Planning Matthew Guy gets his way. The deadline for submissions about his proposals is 21 September, but the planning ministry is playing dead on this issue, which could change the Mornington Peninsula forever. The ministry is keeping it very quiet, but informed rumour has it that developers are already buying up around our villages and towns. The proposed zonings aim to increase the number of “as of right” commercial uses with no rights of appeal when a large development is to be plonked next to or near residents. This includes no right to appeal against unlimited hours of operation. Commercial zones are to be extended into residential zones, again with no right of appeal even against the height of buildings, loud noise or busy car parks. There will be no need to demonstrate community benefit when expanding commercial zones into quiet residential areas. Shopkeepers will see the ruination of their retail centres because the new zonings allow out-of-centre retail development, particularly along main roads. Large towns like Frankston, the gateway to the peninsula, will see movement toward outlying cheaper land with new infrastructure problems, including parking and public transport. Frankston has planned its shopping, commercial and industrial centres for years in order to create economic vi-

ability and definite boundaries around residential areas. We will also have ad hoc development stretching out along roads and ruining the approaches to the peninsula’s beautiful small towns and villages. Industrial zones and business and commercial zones are to be mixed together, creating mayhem for smaller shopping centres and any unlucky residents caught next to a new, freestanding large supermarket or hardware-type store. Even worse are the proposed changes to the peninsula’s rural zones. In these zones, including farming and the green wedge, all existing limits on tourism-based developments will be removed, with no new strategy to protect us from over-development. This includes the effects on existing businesses, which are sure to be devalued. New jobs will mean the loss of “old” jobs. A function centre or large-scale accommodation on that quiet country lane? No limits will apply, build as many as you like. This will change the face of the peninsula forever while our politicians sit on their hands hoping that you won’t notice. The proposals will allow multiple excisions into small farms. We will have houses dotted over every view of the peninsula. The planning minister thinks that this is a good idea. Tourists love our country roads, the space and the tranquillity, but will they keep coming when we look like just another suburb because of over-development?

Unwelcome changes: David Gill believes the Mornington Peninsula’s days of being a drawcard for tourists may be numbered if the state government adopts new planning rules. Picture: Keith Platt

According to estimates by tourismauthorities, peninsula tourism contributes $850 million and agriculture production contributes $600 million to our state’s economy. This will be jeopardised if farms are reduced to small, unproductive hobby farms and tourists decide to look elsewhere for their scenic drives. Former prohibited uses in the peninsula’s farming zones included service stations, medical centres, schools and all forms of accommodation. All will

now be allowed according to Mr Guy. Existing urban growth boundaries will disappear. The age of the unfettered developer will arrive on the peninsula. The rural landscape, once devalued, will never return. That’s the thing about planning – development can never be returned to the past. Development – good or bad – is forever. Are we getting what we deserve? The peninsula is seen as solid Liberal. No swinging seats here. No need for local politicians to worry about their

constituents’ concerns. Our politicians are complacent, they mouth platitudes about protecting the peninsula but action, or inaction, speaks louder than words. They should be ashamed of themselves.  David Gill is a former shire president (mayor) of the Shire of Mornington who was also a member of the Western Port Regional Planning Authority. He was chairman of planning for the shire for several years.

A disturbing visit to the fighting hillbillies MRS Emu has just arrived back from a week visiting her sister Ermyntrude in a far-off shire – a week is not a long enough, in Emu’s opinion. She was breathless with a rumour after arriving home; she adores rumours. “Our councillors are saints!” she wheezed, “compared with the hillbillies that run the Shire of Upper Gumtree.” She pauses for breath. “They have punch-ups, just like the Japanese Parliament. Brilliant!” She likes a stoush, reflects her placid but bruised spouse.

When the Emu Rampant had settled down with a cuppa, it turned out these “hillbillies” didn’t actually exchange blows. Just nearly, it seems. Perfectly acceptable councillor behaviour, thinks Emu: it enlivens a dull meeting. “Ermy told me this councillor was asking questions – just asking perfectly

polite questions – when another councillor got annoyed with what she apparently thought was his over-aggressive line of questioning. “She leapt to her feet and leaned over the councillor sitting between them, fire coming out of her nostrils – actual fire! hardly any smoke – and nearly scorched him with it she was so close. Ermy reckoned her eyes were bulging nearly out of her head and she went the colour of an overripe aubergine. “No one could really understand what she was saying; apparently she

comes from one of those fighting nations in the Balkans or thereabouts and tends to lapse into her native language when stirred. “But he remained calm. He ignored her. Imagine that!” Mrs Emu is composed now. “The timing was poor,” she said. “It all happened in front of dozens of witnesses. “She would have been better to wait till she got him alone. That’s how they do it on the telly. I suppose some people just can’t wait – too hot-blooded. We should visit the Balkans. It sounds

Groups join to fight green law changes VICTORIAN National Parks Association and the Environment Defenders Office have joined forces with four peninsula environment groups to run a seminar on the threat to environment laws. “Defending environmental laws: protecting the places you love” is from 5.30-7pm on Thursday 20 September at Rosebud Library, 25 McDowell Street. The Environment Defenders Office says the seminar is to brief community groups and individuals about a “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 seminar is being run in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, Blue Wedges Coalition, Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association, and Peninsula Speaks.

very exciting.” Emu thinks not. They carry guns over there, just like Americans. He recalls a Balkan leader named Enver Hoxha who, in a cabinet meeting, was said to have dealt with a contentious point by producing a revolver and settling the issue with a single shot. It was then carried unanimously on a show of hands – all empty, apart from Mr Hoxha’s smoking gun. Or so the rumour went. But it’s plausible. After all, he had five rounds left in the gun’s chamber.

Sea level rise interviews TWO researchers of the University of Melbourne are on the Mornington Peninsula this month interviewing residents about sea level rise. Elissa Waters and Sam Pendergast are undertaking a federal governmentfunded survey of what residents and businesses think should be done and by whom about sea level rise. They are conducting 40-minute interviews described as “informal discussions of people’s experiences of living and working on the coast and their views on what should be done about dealing with the risk of sea level rise”. It is a social study so no technical knowledge is necessary. Readers who want to be interviewed can contact Elissa Waters on 0406 487 182, Sam Pendergast on 0404 466 387 or email elissa.waters@ unimelb.edu.au

Frankston’s tallest to be reborn

Property rights: Seagulls will have to get used to sharing their views from the Peninsula Centre when renovations are finished and its 150 apartments are occupied. Pictures: Keith Platt

By Keith Platt FROM a distance it has the architectural feature of a brick. Deserted for years, it has been the target of graffitists and comedian Barry Humphries, who saw it as Melbourne’s ugliest building. But the Peninsula Centre that has dominated Frankston’s skyline since the 1970s is undergoing a $25 million rebirth. Extra windows and doors have been cut through the concrete façade of the 12-storey building, which is being converted into 150 single and double bedroom apartments (82 furnished and serviced by Quest), offices, a conference room, gymnasium, shops and multi-level car park. Up to 130 workers are on the site each day to bring the latest incarnation of the Peninsula Centre in on schedule by Christmas. It will be charcoal coloured, according to Will Deague, of the Asian Pacific Group, a family company. Stairwells remain covered in graffiti, but the former wide-open office spaces of the upper level are being partitioned for the apartments. One “display” apartment shows the uninterrupted coastal views that will be available from rooms at the front of the building. It comes complete with separate bathroom and one long room that serves as bedroom, kitchen and siting room. Small balconies will be added to the Peninsula Centre’s façade. A terrace complete with tables and chairs will be available to everyone in the building on level two.

The wide area was once dominated by a glass pyramid. Other apartments at the rear will not be so fortunate, although they will look down on a palm-planted courtyard. The courtyard lies between the Peninsula Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two â&#x20AC;&#x153;towersâ&#x20AC;?, created by cutting away the roof of two former cinemas for a light well. The eastern tower on Keys St is several storeys lower than the one fronting Nepean Highway, but the high ceilings of the cinemas have enabled Asian Pacific to add another level of apartments. Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial says he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;thrilledâ&#x20AC;? that council approved Asian Pacificâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans for the building, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;fitted in with the

community vision of building a better city for Frankston by 2025â&#x20AC;?. He predicted the building would become â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great buildingsâ&#x20AC;?. It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a symbol to all of the rejuvenation and changing face of Frankstonâ&#x20AC;? along with the $46 million Frankston Regional Aquatic Health and Wellbeing Centre, the $19 million trade training centre and the $7 million redevelopment of the Frankston Yacht Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is already being identified as one of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment hotspots and I think the redevelopment of the Peninsula Centre will symbolise the transformation of Frankston,â&#x20AC;? Cr Cunial said.

Making changes: Above, the first apartment finished at Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peninsula Centre; Nick Grant, top right, gives the all-clear as he works high up on the Peninsula Centre facade from a suspended platform; centre right, down in the basement, site manager John Nousias goes over plans with foreman Paul Matons, centre, and carpenter Beau McLennan; right, the Peninsula Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smaller tower in Keys St is already sporting the new colour chosen for the entire building.

Police go online for feedback

Cyber patrol: Senior Sergeant Matt Mulcahy collects clues about community views from a blog. Picture: Yanni

By Neil Walker SENIOR Sergeant Matt Mulcahy believes in community policing – online community policing. The Frankston-based officer has established a “Policing on the Mornington Peninsula” blog to engage with the community via social media in Frankston and on the peninsula. The blog – at www.frankstonpolice. blogspot.com.au – has been online since April promoting “proactive policing by Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula police”. Senior Sergeant Mulcahy said feedback from visitors to the site had been positive. “The blog is a way to engage with those in the community who may not necessarily contact us via other means,” Senior Sergeant Mulcahy said. “It’s a good way for police to use social media and be proactive.” The blog is a first for the state. Victoria Police’s centralised Online Communications Unit previously conducted all online communications with the public. Facebook and Twitter are also used by police to directly communicate with the public. The Frankston blog highlights proactive policing on the peninsula conducted by STOP (Social Tasking Operations and Patrol) teams, which target criminal and anti-social behaviour, as part of the Community Response Engagement and Social Tasking (CREST) strategy. Senior Sergeant Mulcahy writes many of the articles and responds to readers’ comments. The blog has become the model for Vic-

toria Police to switch social media communications to a local level. Dandenong police will be the next police division to set up a blog. Readers are invited each month to suggest ways resources should be directed if they were the police superintendent for Southern Metro Region Division 4, which covers Frankston and the peninsula. Reducing road trauma and dealing with street violence are two of the topics that have been tackled. A blog article about perceptions that police may “pick on” P-plate drivers while on traffic patrol also prompted many responses. The blog encourages open debate and there is some evidence of dissatisfaction about police actions or inaction on display amid the mainly positive feedback. An anonymous respondent in July complained about “unkempt and unprofessional-looking” police officers with untidy uniforms. Another said a friend had been assaulted at Frankston railway station but there had been little follow-up to catch the offenders despite CCTV footage being available. Senior Sergeant Mulcahy said comments are read by Victoria Police’s centralised digital media team before being posted on the website. “We’re not into censorship. Any conversation is a good conversation,” he said. Read the blog and participate online at www.frankstonpolice.blogspot.com.au.

FEATURE PROPERTY

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

Crib Point Manor reaches century 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 rejuvenate and bring back period features such as ornate architraves and the leadlight windows that are so popular with buyers seeking a home of true character. Polished floorboards feature throughout and to the left of the formal entry is the main bedroom boasting a wonderful decorative fireplace and an ensuite with feature timber vanity incorporated into the bay window and double frameless shower. 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. There are five bedrooms all up and a second bathroom also has been renovated. Crib Point Manor is on its own title and was originally on a larger site, which has been redeveloped to include six units that also are for sale. This is an excellent family home and even better value after a recent price reduction. The property is close to shops and schools, and for the active family, Cerberus Golf Club, tennis courts and the public swimming pool are nearby.

WHAT’S NEW

Searoad’s 25-year ferry tale THE Queenscliff to Sorrento ferry service is celebrating 25 years of operation with a weekend of festivities on 15 and 16 September. Searoad Ferries CEO Matt McDonald said the anniversary was a significant milestone for the iconic service, which had carried more than 10 million people across Port Phillip. He said the weekend’s celebrations on board the ferries would include “live music, family fun activities, and regional food and wine”. “Relax with the Peninsula Hot Springs bathing tubs and massage tent on the top deck, golf with a pro, meet Thomas the Tank Engine, and find face painters and a roving magician as you travel between Sorrento and Queenscliff,” he said. “Disembark and enjoy the village of Queenscliff and then travel back for more fun. All activities are included in the ferry ticket price. Saturday night fireworks can be viewed from the ferry terminal in Sorrento at 7pm.” Mr McDonald said that over 25 years, the ferry service had covered more than one million kilometres – equivalent to 25 trips around the world – and provided a vital link between the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas. When MV Peninsula Princess made its first voyage from Queenscliff to Sorrento, it was the realisation of a vision that had been held for 30 years. In the beginning, the ferry operated simply as a transport service, carrying

just a few thousand visitors and vehicles each year. But reports of the spectacular journey soon boosted the ferry’s popularity. As numbers grew, the 60-metre, all-weather MV Queenscliff was introduced in 1994, carrying up to 700 passengers and 70 vehicles. In order to double capacity and enable hourly departures from both

ports, MV Sorrento was introduced in 2000. In 2011, the 17-year-old Queenscliff underwent a multi-million dollar renovation and is now a worldclass ferry, Mr McDonald said. Today, the two ferries make more than 8000 sailings a year, carry more than 700,000 passengers and 200,000 vehicles, making it Australia’s busiest car and passenger ferry service.

“Searoad Ferries employs more than 90 full-time and part-time staff and generates about $130 million in revenue for the local economy,” Mr McDonald said. “The service is integral in linking the Great Ocean Road, the Bellarine and Mornington peninsulas and Phillip Island, providing a unique, continuous coastal tourism experience

in a journey that has become one of Victoria’s most popular touring routes.” Book online to save. One-way foot passengers: adult $9, concession $8, family pass (two adults and three children) $30. For more information and activity schedule, visit www.searoad.com.au

HISTORY

Was our yowie a bunyip? By Shirley Davies THE query by Hastings-Western Port Historical Society about the Wild Man of Western Port (‘Hairy tale: was the legendary Wild Man of Western Port a yowie?’, The News, 7/8/12) resulted in a number of people, including historians, responding. It appears most likely that the reporting of the mysterious creature in 1847 could be the mythical bunyip of Aboriginal lore. Others contacting us have suggested it could have been someone “up to no good” or someone spying and trying to scare others. Another suggestion was the report came as a result of imbibing too much. The “wild man” story surfaced in the Geelong Advertiser and Squatters Advocate on 16 July 1847. The description was of a creature as “big as a man and shaped like him in every respect and covered with stiff bristly hair, excepting about the face which is like an old man’s full of wrinkles”. Thanks to all those who responded. It is good to know our history still generates interest. Yowie sketch copyright Rex Gilroy 2012

Footbridge from the past TULUM (Merricks) Creek flows parallel to the coast behind a sand bar from Balnarring Beach to its outlet in Somers. In earlier days, the mouth of the creek entered Western Port further to the east than it does at present. Bridges have been built at various points at various times to access the beach from the land side. A low wooden one had been built opposite Palm Beach Grove, but it was destroyed by floods in 1934.

A replacement was built by army engineers in 1935. The 3rd Divisional Engineers were invited to spend a weekend bivouac in Somers by General Stanley Savige who owned a property on Tasman Rd. They constructed a narrow suspension bridge (pictured right) made of wire cable and wooden slats. Repairs to it were made in 1937 and it was still serving its purpose

a decade later. In 1949 it was removed by the Somers Progress Association. The Balnarring & District Historical Society can be contacted by calling 5983 5326 or via email balhist@optusnet.com.au The History Room at Balnarring Hall is open every Monday morning from 10 till midday.

Western Port News 4 September 2012

Brutal murder at Mt Martha never solved By Isabel Cassidy HOMICIDE detectives who investigated the murder of 14-year-old Shirley May Collins, whose battered body was found in September 1953 at Mt Martha, described the murder as “one of the most vicious and sadistic in the history of Victoria”. The investigation was said to be one of the biggest and most intensive manhunts in the history of Australian crime. Shirley Collins was described as a young, shy, smiling and innocent girl. Her father had died and her mother remarried and moved to Queensland. She was one of four foster children living with her foster parents, Mr and Mrs A E Collins. Shirley left her Reservoir home at 7.15pm on Saturday 12 September to go to a teenagers’ party in Richmond and had promised her foster mother she would return home early. The party was at the home of a young workmate; guests were mostly teenage members of Coles staff where Shirley worked. Ron Holmes, 21, of Chelsea, had arranged to meet her at Richmond station at 8pm. Holmes waited for nearly an hour and then went to the party alone. Mrs Collins sensed something was wrong when her daughter did not return home by midnight. Early Sunday morning, Mrs Collins took her worries to a policeman who lived nearby. The constable dismissed the mother’s fears, saying Shirley must have missed the last train and was probably sleeping at a girlfriend’s place and would be home in the morning. But eight hours later he referred Mrs Collins to the CIB. Police received information that a girl answering Shirley’s description, and who they were almost certain was Shirley, was seen getting into a car near Regent CHK station only a few minutes before she was to have boarded a bus to take her to the city. Police believed the girl accepted a lift, expecting to be taken to her destination at Richmond, but instead was driven to Mt Martha. A large squad of CIB defectives and police worked 24 hour days in an endeavour to locate the murder scene. They searched the Mt Martha and Dromana areas, questioning people who may have been able to provide clues. At least five people saw Shirley body without realising she was dead; they presumed it was a girl sunbaking. People told police they had seen Shirley and a well-spoken young man in Mornington on Saturday and Sunday nights. She was seen with the man at a hotel on Saturday night. Mr Allan Downs, the licensee of Mornington’s Grand Hotel, recognised Shirley’s photo as soon as it was shown to him by the police. Downs told police, “Shirley walked into the hotel lounge with a man about 26 to 30 soon after 8.30pm. I noticed them particularly because the lounge was empty, which is unusual on a Saturday night. I asked them if they were bona fide travellers and they said ‘Yes’ and sat down at a table a few feet from us. “They had one glass of beer each; then they got up and left at about 8.50pm. This drew my attention because it is unusual for anyone to have just one glass of beer on a Saturday night. Although I did not notice the pair laughing or joking, they seemed quite friendly. “As the girl left the lounge, she turned her head and smiled and said ‘Goodnight. Thank you very much’. The girl could have passed for an adult

Last smile: One of the last photos taken of Shirley Collins. for her hair was done differently to the photo, but I feel sure it was her.” Shirley Collins was then seen at a cafe in Mornington on the Sunday night. An employee of the cafe, Mrs Larkins, recognised a photograph of Shirley. She said, “The girl was with a youth aged about 18, with a long, pointed nose, brushed back hair, and of medium build”. In the early morning of Monday 14 September, the body of Shirley Collins was discovered at Mt Martha by Lionel Liardit.

Police believed the three broken beer bottles found near her battered body were the cause of her death. She had been the victim of a brutal attack. A bottle, heavy with beer, had been smashed on her head and knocked her unconscious. Two other bottles, tops still firmly clamped, had been shattered against the back of her head. The pretty face of Shirley Collins had been completely destroyed by blocks of cement. Her nose, jaw, cheekbones and forehead were broken.

Evidence at the murder scene indicated the man who killed her was shrewd and dangerous, and had given police few clues to his identity. The 73-year-old man told police that his fox terrier, Bombo, had drawn his attention to the body. “I was walking along Marine Drive to pick up my mail,” he said. “Bombo was chasing rabbits and wallabies then ran into the grounds of the house and came back barking and tugging the cuff of my trousers. I wasn’t in any hurry and Bombo’s a pretty intelligent dog so I went to see what was worrying him. I saw the body.” Liardit was shaken by the horror of his discovery. Later medical examination showed Shirley had been dead for 10 to 12 hours.

Her clothes had been ripped from her body and thrown in trees and scrub. A stocking, still fastened to a suspender belt, was found on a tree stump. Evidence at the murder scene indicated the man who killed her was shrewd and dangerous, and had given police few clues to his identity. Detectives ruled out the theory that Shirley had been abducted and taken to Mornington Peninsula by force. They believed the car used was stolen and later abandoned. Days later, a shoe was found suspended about 1.5 metres off the ground on the branch of a tree about 10 metres from the scene of the mur-

der. Inspector F Hobley, Chief of the Scientific Bureau, found the missing shoe by chance. He brushed aside a bush to get past, and the shoe fell to the ground. Officers involved in the investigation were puzzled to explain why dozens of police and civilians who searched the murder scene on previous days did not find the shoe. They thought the shoe may have been brought back to the murder scene. Police were anxious to interview a young man over the brutal slaying of Shirley Collins. Inspector Donnelly, who was in charge of the investigations, said, “The man may be able to assist us greatly”. Police believed the man and a young girl called at Mr Hubbard’s store in Tyabb about 9.30pm on the night of Shirley’s death. They were seen travelling in a dark coloured sedan perhaps a 1940 model Vauxhall. Inspector Donnelly said, “At about 11.45 on the same night, a light coloured sedan of Vauxhall, Vanguard or Holden size with a chrome radiator and fittings was seen parked at the side of the roadway in Marine Drive, near Safety Beach, about a quarter of a mile from where Shirley’s body was found”. Police believed a man and a woman had been in the car for some time. “There is little doubt that this couple saw something that would be of great assistance to the investigators,” Inspector Donnelly said. He urged any person knowing the identity of the couple to come forward. A radio broadcast of the possible events leading to Shirley Collins death was the first made in Victorian crime history and was similar to one broadcast in Sydney in 1952. “We are hoping that the radio dramatisation will yield just one small point that will enable us to unravel the mystery,” Inspector Donnelly said. “I am still certain that someone in Melbourne can supply the missing link. We have questioned so many criminals, perverts and suspects that our field will narrow quickly as soon as we get the link.” Australia-wide interest was focused on the inquest into the murder of Shirley Collins, conducted by Coroner J R Burke after a 14-month search for her killer. On Wednesday 20 October 1954, 14 witnesses gave evidence at the Melbourne Coroner’s Court. A young married woman, who arrived under police escort with her head covered by a hood, gave evidence at the inquest. Mr Burke ordered that the woman’s name should not be published and that she be referred to as “Mrs X”. The woman, a “New Australian”, said she saw Shirley Collins talking to a man aged between 40 and 45 in a car at Richmond on the night she was killed. She had identified the girl from pictures in newspapers and other photographs. After the 14 witnesses had given evidence, Mr Burke found that the girl was murdered by an unknown person and had a terrifying experience. “She was an innocent victim of a murderer;, her body was shockingly mutilated. How she was lured to the scene remains a mystery. It is regrettable that efforts by the police to trace the fiend responsible for his revolting crime have so far not met with success,” Mr Burke said. Inspector Donnelly, who assisted the coroner, said later that the case was not closed and investigations had been carried out even in the past 24 hours. Another police interview was conducted in Bairnsdale on Saturday 6

November when Detective Sergeant F Adam and Detective Kevin McMahon of Russell Street Homicide Squad interviewed a middle-aged man who had lived at East Melbourne near where Shirley Collins was last seen alive, but had left the area about the time of her death. The detectives returned to Melbourne and stated it had not taken them any closer to solving the case. A year later, a 37-year-old man “confessed” to police that he had murdered Shirley at Mt Martha. The man told police he knew Shirley for at least two years before she died. He was a close friend of Shirley’s mother. He insisted several times that on the night of 12 September, he drove Shirley to Mt Martha and killed her because they had argued throughout that night. Detectives questioned him for three and a half hours but after he failed to reconstruct his movements and draw diagrams of the area where Shirley’s body was found, they released him. Inspector Donnelly, who led the interrogation, said, “The man was the first who had confessed to having killed Shirley, but this is the first time anyone has tried hard to convince us that he was the killer”. Inspector Donnelly said he and Senior Detective Noel Wilby, of the homicide squad, were convinced the man was innocent. “Although it was nearly a year since Shirley was killed, there is no reason to suppose that the murderer will not be found. We are still quite hopeful.” The murder of Shirley May Collins was Victoria’s most publicised and most baffling crime of the era. Hundreds of people watched in sorrow as Shirley was buried at Preston Cemetery on 18 September 1953. The funeral service was conducted by Reverend J Sharman who said, “The man who killed her will be ultimately brought to judgement for his crime against society”. Police teams interviewed more than 4000 people without finding a vital clue to identify the murderer. At times they had strong suspects, but none of them proved to be the killer. Newspapers headlined the story for months and the murder is still unsolved to this day.  Isabel Cassidy wrote this story from original sources while on work experience with MP News Group.

Life cut short: Shirley Collins’s appearance belied her age of 14.

HISTORY

Fisherman was a handy golfer 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.

Part 2 THE Lucas family has had a long association with Flinders golf course extending over three generations: my grandfather helped to build it, my father was a scratch golfer there for 35 years, and I have been a member for almost 80 years. My father represented Gippsland at Country Week golf as a team player from the inception of the event until his death in 1948. My mother, Betsy Ann Vagg, came from a sheep farming family near Corowa and she met my father through golf. Our family consisted of four boys, two girls and a step-brother. I was the third boy and was born in Mordialloc Hospital on 15 October 1920. The 1920s and ’30s were difficult times and all the family had to pitch in. My two older brothers, Ken and Ian, and I started playing golf at an early age: we had our chores before and after school, which took about an hour. The family survived on homegrown fresh vegetables as well as milk, cream and butter from our cows, Fish and rabbit also were part of our diet. Healthy bodies seemed to be the end result. I started at Flinders State School in 1925 and I enjoyed it. Teachers seemed to find much more time for Still swinging: Above, Eric Lucas in one of the last photos of him playing golf.

individual help, and yet we had one teacher for 33 pupils. The town had a Boy Scout troop and I was a member. After state school I went to Frankston High School for three years. At age 15 circumstances dictated that I should leave and help my father as a fisherman. Like my brothers, I had been familiar with boats and fishing from an early age. It was during the next few years that I began to appreciate the unspoilt beauty of our Flinders area. I also became aware of the importance of control of some kind to ensure the survival of various species on land and sea. At Flinders golf course, I started as a caddy when I was about eight and the fee of 1/6 (15 cents) was a help to my mother’s budget. I was soon caddying for some top professionals who played at Flinders. It was a highly regarded course, parts of which had existed since the late 1890s. In 1926 the course was visited by world renowned course architect Dr Alister Mackenzie who made suggestions that were carried out in subsequent years. As well as playing a round or two of golf, the professionals liked to go fishing with my father. One of the frequent visitors was Ted Naismith who was the assistant professional at Royal Melbourne. Our schoolyard at Flinders adjoined the golf course where Bill Darley, a state country champion, practised each afternoon. As school finished at 3.40pm and I didn’t have to be home until 4.30 to do my chores, I would help Bill by collecting golf balls.

It was not very long before he began to teach me how to play a variety of golf shots. This continued for several years and I learned from Bill that temperament and respect for the game were as important as ability. In later years I was able to partner Bill in championships and exhibition matches at a very high level, and for more than 70 years I was able to pass on his teachings to junior golfers. Because of my contribution I was awarded the Australian medal for my contribution to junior golf in Australia and I have helped hundreds of youngsters through the Victorian Golf Association squads and programs. My theory on putting is that you need to impart topspin on the ball to get it running smoothly. My views were crystallised by an exhibition visit to Flinders in 1933 by United States legend Walter Hagen and Australian golfing pioneer Joe Kirkwood. I was only 13 and fetched balls for the pair, but I also listened intently to Hagen’s views on putting. A year after Hagen’s visit, I had officially joined the club and by 15 I was down to a handicap of 3. By 19 I had joined my father on scratch; mind you, my two older brothers were already playing off scratch. As a fisherman I wasn’t able to play much during the summer months, but I was able to keep my scratch handicap because of my putting. When I was 15 I had a lucky break when I caddied a number of times for Mrs Clive Leonard, who was a visiting Royal Melbourne member. When she

discovered I didn’t have a set of clubs, she said to her playing partner, “Alice, remind me when we get back to Royal Melbourne to get Le Fevre make up a short set for Eric”. The set arrived soon after. It included a 2 wood, 3, 5 and 7 irons, an Exploder sand wedge, and a True-Face putter. The wedge is still in my bag. When the Second World War started, I was hoping to join the navy and one day a golfer at Flinders, a Mr Abbott, asked about my plans. He owned a factory in Sunshine and suggested I work there until I was called up. So I left Flinders in 1940 and worked in the factory for a short time before joining a militia camp. This was the 2nd Cavalry Division Engineers and involved a six-month training period at Geelong. I was still keen to get into the navy but it was not until January 1942 that I began training as an able seaman. I then served in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) in 1942, then the South-West Pacific and other tropical areas north of New Guinea until my discharge in 1945. After the war, I resumed my love affair with golf and opened a golf equipment shop in Lygon St, Carlton. I ran this until 1949. After my father’s death in 1948, I was endeavouring to take care of the fishing business and still run my shop. This was difficult so after I married Edna in June 1949, we decided to sell the shop and return to Flinders where I would resume life as a fisherman. We lived on a block of

land in the centre of town, which I had bought in 1940. Edna was an excellent golfer and we shared a love of the game. She came from Mornington and we first met on the golf course at Flinders when we played a mixed foursome when I was 15 or 16 and she was 12 or 13. There was no chemistry: I wasn’t the least bit interested in a freckle-faced, skinny legged girl! After the war I was invited to join Northern Golf Club where I played pennant and many top amateur events. It was while playing in a pennant final at Huntingdale that a young lady in the gallery caught my eye; it was Edna. Her father had told her that I was playing in the final and she came along, no doubt expecting to see a tall, bronzed sailor; it must have been a bit of a disappointment! Edna and I played a lot of golf together and became one of the state’s most formidable combinations, twice winning the unofficial state title on Legacy Day at Huntingdale. On both occasions we beat two of the greats of Victorian golf in Doug Bachli and Burtta Cheney. In the second year we had such a late tee time and were still on the 14th hole when we were told that the trophy had already been presented to Bachli and Cheney. The organisers were aghast to learn that we only had to par the last few holes to win. This we did and the result was reversed. However, this was not before I had hooked into a bun-

ker and then proceeded to give Edna some advice on what recovery shot she should play. The caddy – a young kid who I had never seen before and never saw again – interrupted me and said, “Listen, Mister, leave her alone. She knows what she is doing, and you didn’t play much of a shot to put her in there”. When Edna blasted out to within six feet of the pin, the caddy said to me as I was lining up, ”You’d better not miss this one, Mister”. Edna was women’s champion at Victoria Golf Club in 1950 and played in the title for 51 consecutive years. She could have been a state and national player, but for family commitments. In the 1950s I was very busy during the summer months when the crayfish and couta seasons were at their peak; we seemed to have better weather and the markets were better. In the winter I was able to return to golf. I represented Flinders as well as Melbourne club Medway and Northern in pennant championships. I also played in several Australian Opens as an amateur. I represented West Gippsland and Peninsula District at Country Week until my retirement from top competition. As a life member of the Peninsula District Golf Association, I was a team selector for many years and continued to attend and assist at Country Week meetings of the Victorian Golf Association. As I mentioned, I have won the club championship eight times and in

1947 I was playing good golf when an 18-year-old named Peter Thomson fronted up for the Flinders Open. He had never won a big event but that day he beat me by nine strokes! Peter became a regular visitor to Flinders and he always liked to come down if there was a good southwesterly wind blowing. He was great at playing those clifftop holes. After he won his fifth British Open, I didn’t feel so bad about the hiding he gave me in 1947. Another highlight from my golfing days is when I made the cut in the 1948 Australian Open at Kingston Heath. It was probably one of the great finishes to an open when Jim Ferrier parred from behind a clump of ti-tree at the final hole to force a play-off, which was won by Ossie Pickworth. A Queenslander, Jack Kelly, and I played the final round behind Pickworth and in front of Ferrier. There would have been 3000 in the gallery following Ferrier, 2000 with Pickworth, and two people following us.

Finally, although Edna thought my trophy-winning days were long behind me, my partner Neil Cavanagh and I managed to win the Flinders President’s Trophy in successive years. Our first win was in 2008, but a bad ankle, the loss of Edna who’d passed away earlier in the year and attacks of vertigo notwithstanding, Neil Cavanagh and I managed to pull it off again in 2009. I am a member of the RSL at Flinders and have been since it was formed in about 1949. I also helped Jim Campbell form the Flinders Historical Society, was on the mooring committee and am a member of the cemetery trust. Perhaps I could conclude by quoting some advice given to me by my father many years ago. He trained me to respect the sea and he used to tell me: “The only time you will ever drown – on sea or land – is when you get out of your depth.” Not bad advice for a young lad!

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Beauty is in the iPod of the beholder By Stuart McCullough SADLY, it’s over. It is clear to me the bond I believed existed between us was a mere figment of my imagination. I am embarrassed, naturally. For a time there, it seemed as if you could read my mind, anticipate my every whim, each passing desire. I see now that I was horribly mistaken. In an instant, it is if I am suddenly in the presence of a stranger who does not know the first thing about me. Or, more to the point, one who does not know the first thing about my musical preferences. I’m sorry to say this but, dear “Recommendations for You” on the iTunes store, you don’t understand me at all. I probably should have dumped you long ago, but the memory of those first giddy encounters led me to hope that things would, at some point, get better. Even now, the remembrance of recommendations past causes a mist of warm feelings to descend on me like summer rain. Ahh. Perhaps it was the sheer novelty of having a machine tell me that it cares about me that caught me so off-guard. I suppose I was flattered. I know better now. Perhaps our romance was always doomed because, when all is said and done, my heart belongs to proper music stores. They were the very reason I came to digital purchasing relatively late. For me, there has always been something quite lovely about a music store. There was always the thrill of discovery as you rifled through the racks – encountering albums that you had only ever heard spoken of in

hushed, reverent tones or the giddy joy of purchasing something on the strength of the cover art alone. Try replicating that with an MP3 file. Then there is the matter of judgement – it’s like no other retail experience. Whether it is a law or a substantial and overwhelming coincidence, every good music store must employ someone at the front counter called Lloyd. Always slightly haggard of appearance and possibly hungover, Lloyd is the absolute arbiter of taste. Granted, such judgement is plainly rendered useless when it comes to clothes, but

music is an entirely different matter. When you hand up your selections, the grizzled, bloodshot eye of ol’ Lloyd crawls across the cover in silence. It’s an awkward moment. Finally, the moment of approval comes in form of a grunt or in the slightest of nods that a moment’s inattention would let pass by undetected. A particularly tasteful choice might even prompt a comment along the lines of “Great album. Ever heard any Little Feat?” There are few greater compliments on this earth than for a music store attendant to share their knowledge with

you. It’s like being granted entry to an exclusive club. A glorious world in which looks, dress sense and hygiene count for little and knowledge – sweet musical knowledge – is prized above all else. When a music store employee shares their thoughts about music with you, it’s a sacred bond. Granted, one that lasts no longer than 60 seconds and involves a cash payment, but a sacred bond all the same. When I discovered I could purchase music without even leaving the house, I’ll admit I was seduced by the convenience and efficiency. Not to mention the fact that such purchases came without the tell-tale packaging that instantly alerts your loved ones to the fact you have just kicked a sizeable hole in the weekly household budget. Better than just efficient, it was discrete. Not that things were perfect. Buying music with a simple mouse click has its problems – it feels cold, a little distant. I even missed the ritual of trying to get the CD out of the plastic, with success always feeling as if it should be greeted with a musical flourish to herald a magical act of escape. I miss looking at the cover – and reading the liner notes. I don’t know why I need to know who played the harmonium on track three or which band member ran down to the shops for a pie and a Big M at a crucial moment during the recording process – I just do. In an age of picking tracks as they please you, liner notes are all but extinct. Sometimes you can download a booklet, but it’s a pretty feeble substitute. I probably missed Lloyd most of all.

That’s where iTunes came in. At first it felt like someone was reading my mind as I gleefully snapped up everything “Recommendations for You” suggested. Then something, somewhere, went horribly wrong. Like so many things, it unravelled over time. First it was the occasional recommendation that I buy the latest Madonna or Lady Gaga single when, in truth, I’d sooner fill my ears with hot wax than to listen to anything that either of them saw fit to unleash on the public. Then there were the recommendations to buy various singles by reality show contestants. Suddenly, it was as though we were drifting apart. Ironically enough, it was when you recommended My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion that I knew we were truly sunk. I demanded a retraction. You, being the machine that you are, did not respond. My heart will, indeed, go on, but not with you. It belongs to Lloyd and to real music stores everywhere. Try as you might, you can never replace a real music store attendant. At best, you can only simulate the experience. It is, I feel, the curse of being inhuman, no matter how hard you try to convince us otherwise. So, “Recommendations for You”, allow me to return the favour and recommend the song It’s Over by the late, great Roy Orbison. A soaring piece of emotional pop-opera, chances are your mechanical heart won’t be moved at all. That, I am afraid, is your loss. I can say, however, that it comes with Lloyd’s stamp of approval. That, at least, still means something. www.stuartmccullough.com

Sharks v Bulls, Redlegs v Stonecats PENINSULA DIVISION By Toe Punt BONBEACH will play Karingal in the MPNFL Peninsula Division first semi-final this weekend after beating Seaford in the elimination final on Saturday. Given Bonbeach’s sensational, consistent season, the Sharks deserved to go through to the second week of the finals. The task was made slightly easier with the withdrawal of Seaford’s gun playmaker Chris Irving. Bonbeach had been whacked with the injury stick too leading up to the finals with Anthony Raso, James Norton and Nathan Hicks copping seasonending injuries. These three players alone had contributed close to 60 goals this season for the Sharks. On the flip side, Matty Batten, Matt Clifford and Ash Simpson returned to the side after being rested in the last home and away game. Dean Kemble returned for the Tigers after missing the last home and away game. After two very tight tussles during the season, the game was never going to be a blowout. It was one win all and this game was

expected to go down to the wire. The final margin of eight points wasn’t surprising. Every side needs a target to step up and dominate a game of footy and lead their charges to the line. One player who has continued to do this for Bonbeach Football Club for a decade is Shane McDonald. Arguably the best player on the ground, McDonald booted four goals and looked dangerous all afternoon. Sharks’ coach Stevey Capp admitted on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he needed to restructure. “We’ve lost some talls and goalkicking firepower, and we need to ensure that we do things a little differently in the forward half,” Capp said. “Obviously we have to go a little smaller in attack and I’m confident we have a number of players who can rotate through there. “Seaford is very good at winning the contested ball and we thought that if we could match them in this area, we would give ourselves every chance to win. “I thought we could beat them with pace and spread on the bigger ground, too, which proved to be the case. “We went inside 50 at least 13 more times than Seaford.”

The Sharks had six goalkickers with Shaun Foster and Dale Donkin also kicking multiple goals. Aaron Walton was superb for the Tigers with four goals and Michael Kraska was his usual dangerous self with four also, while Brayden Irving finished with a couple. Jamie Quanchi stepped up this season and was good again on Saturday while the oldest bloke on the park, Jeremy Walker, worked tirelessly and was one of the Tigers’ best. In the Reserves, Frankston YCW made it nine wins from its past 10 matches with a thumping 11-goal win over Seaford. In the Under-18s, Chelsea led all afternoon to knock Mornington out of the finals. It’s the first time in more than 10 years the Doggies have not been part of the second week of finals.

Qualifying final MT Eliza played some of its best football for the year to beat Karingal by 10 points in Sunday’s qualifying final. The Redlegs kicked with the breeze in the opening quarter and started sensationally, booting six goals to two. Mt Eliza went into the game without Sam Lloyd, who played with Bendigo Bombers the day before, while Karin-

gal went in without the injured Michael Burke. Michael Loury booted five goals in the first half and finished with seven, including the sealer on the final siren. Mt Eliza controlled the game and deserved to win. Scott Simpson was outstanding around the ground, Sam Gill and Ben Landry controlled the half-back line and through the middle, and Westcott did a sensational job on Chris Hay for the first three quarters. At three-quarter time, Mt Eliza led by 41 points. Karingal moved things around when their backs were to the wall in the second quarter. Brendan Dunne and Luke Van Raay went forward, Paxton went to Lourey and Dan Noble moved to the back line. James Tyquin also moved into the centre. The moves made a difference in the third, although the Redlegs responded and went into the final 30 minutes with a handy lead. In the final term, Karingal came storming home.Chris Hay booted three last-quarter goals and David Hirst contributed an important goal on the run, giving him three for the afternoon. The Bulls hit the post three times in

the last quarter, which was telling. They got within four points with a minute left on the clock and took the ball inside their attacking 50, but the dour Redlegs’ defence cleared, Loury marked and converted after the siren. Tyquin was superb for the Bulls, while Bevan Malloy was also outstanding. Kristian Bliesner rucked the entire last half after Grant Goodall went off injured and was sensational. Despite a slow start, Duncan Proud was excellent after quarter time, while David Hirst and Paxton also were fantastic. Mt Eliza will fancy its chances against Frankston YCW. The Redlegs will have to do it without Westcott, who injured his shoulder, but they’ll get Lloyd back. Karingal should have Burke back in the side for the do-or-die first semi-final showdown with Bonbeach at Pines. In the Reserves, Langwarrin was able to hang on against a fast-finishing Mt Eliza and in Under-18s, Frankston YCW was too strong for Seaford.  The winner of Mt Eliza versus Frankston YCW goes into the grand final, the loser plays the winner of Bonbeach versus Karingal.

Surprise win: Karingal was expected to defeat Mt Eliza in the Peninsula Division qualifying final, but the Redlegs surprised the Bulls, who will take on Bonbeach next weekend. Mt Eliza plays Frankston YCW. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Dromana into GF, Hastings bows out NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt DROMANA moved into the 2012 Nepean Division grand final with a thrilling two-point victory against Sorrento in the second semi-final at Rosebud on Saturday. On Sunday, Hastings bowed out of the final race, beaten by seven points by Rye. While the Tigers head into the big one, a massive showdown looms between Sorrento and Rye in the preliminary final this Saturday at Rosebud. After a tense battle all afternoon, Dromana was able to kick clear by 14 points at the 20-minute mark of the final quarter after a clever banana kick goal from the boundary by Keiran Voelkl and a running goal from Steve Gaertner. At this point in the match, with the Tigers full of running and the crowd heavily involved, Dromana appeared to have done enough to win. However, right up until the final siren at the 30-minute mark, Sorrento came back strongly and was dominating play. Goals to Troy Schwarze and Dalton Sanderson reduced the margin to two points with just five minutes left on the clock. The ball remained in the Sharks’ forward half for the rest of the match. With just a minute to go, Sanderson marked strongly against the goal post and was placed on the boundary five metres out from goal. Confronting a near-impossible angle, he rightly opted

for a banana kick, which went across the face of goal and out of bounds on the full. This was the last roll of the dice for the Sharks and Dromana held on to win. It wasn’t the greatest of semi-finals as the game was littered with mistakes; not only by players, but also by umpires. The lack of consistency by the three umpires was extremely frustrating for everyone at the ground. Even more frustrating were the skill errors from both sides, with Dromana dominated the “ineffective” statistic. There is no question the intensity of a final brings added pressure and skill levels are affected, but when the game was there to be won in the final quarter, Dromana had no idea how to finish off the opposition. They continued to kick into contested areas, allowing Sorrento to get numbers and clear the ball. Early in the match, when Dromana kicked four of the first five goals, the team moved the ball quickly and deep into the forward line, which didn’t allow the Sorrento backs to leave their men and support each other. However, Sorrento’s midfield pressure lifted and Dromana began to go short. For a time in the last quarter when Dromana kicked two goals clear, the Tigers again got the ball in long and quickly. Sorrento controlled the game from the 15-minute mark of the first quarter to the 15-minute mark of the third quarter. But Sharks led by only 12 points at

half-time and trailed by five points at the last change. Scott Cameron was dominating in the middle, Daniel Grant, who was best on ground, won clearances at will, and Grant Johnson and Jonny Casper started to take control at the stoppages. The Sharks forward half looked dangerous with Ben Schwarze leading well and looking strong, Brent Kenyon making Rikki Johnson more accountable than the last time they played, and Sanderson getting involved. However, they were still unable to kick goals. At three-quarter time, one sensed the Dromana players couldn’t cough the footy up any more if they wanted to win. Sorrento was playing pretty well, but just couldn’t score. The Tigers back line was first class all afternoon and was the reason Dromana won. Rikki Johnson repelled countless attacks, Jay Neratzoglou restricted Schwarze, Jarred Wood was solid across half-back and when he went into the middle, Shaun Clarke provided enormous drive, and Daniel Lee was given a tagging role and did it extremely well. Ryan Slocombe and Stevey Gaertner worked their way into the game late in the third in the middle of the ground, and forwards Jay Hutchison, Anthony Bruhn and Jedd Savage got on their bikes and lifted their work rate when it mattered. Dromana played the more ordinary footy of the two sides, but still won. Coach Gavin Artico put it down to “character and will”. “It has taken a lot of time and ef-

fort to get everyone to understand the work required to get to a grand final,” he said. “Now, we can all see that it [hard work] can pay off. “We have been presented with an opportunity to win a grand final – an opportunity, that is all!” Dromana lost Beau McMurray with what appeared to be a back or hip injury in the third quarter. He has two weeks to recover. Terry Wheeler will definitely be back, while Adam Hunter missed with an abdominal injury and is a 50-50 chance to get back. Sorrento seemed to get through the game unscathed, although Mitch Nibbs left the field in the second quarter holding his ribs, only to come back on after half-time. In the Reserves, Frankston Bombers went straight into the grand final with a comfortable 38-point win over Dromana. In the Under-18s, Red Hill inflicted Somerville’s first loss of the season, beating the Eagles by 26 points. The Hillmen booted 8.2 to 4.9 in the second half.

First semi-final A SIX-goal third quarter was the difference between Hastings and Rye on Sunday at Somerville. While many believe umpiring may have influenced the result, Hastings coach Glenn Michie said it was his team’s inability to play consistent footy over four quarters that cost them. “You’ve been writing it all year,

Toey; we just don’t work hard enough defensively and this happened again in the third quarter,” Michie said. “We were four goals down at threequarter time and it was always going to be tough from there. “We talked about it every week pregame and during the breaks – when there is a turnover or they [the players] hear the whistle, we’ve got to push back hard. “We just don’t do it often enough and it hurt us in the end.” Hastings came storming back in the last quarter with two long bombs from Paul Rogasch and the Blues hit the front when Michie marked, received a 50-metre penalty and goaled. But the Demons were able to settle and get over the line by seven points. Justin Van Unen was sensational with nine goals, while Ben and Sean Cain were inspirational across the four quarters. In the Reserves, Somerville completed the expected and had a strong win over Devon Meadows. Ben Crowe booted five goals and Todd Farrelly three, while Guy Austin and Stephen Crowe shone. The Eagles will now take on Dromana. In the Under-18s, Sorrento advanced to the preliminary final with a 12-goal win against Rye. The Sharks play Somerville this week with the chance to advance and play Red Hill in the big dance.

Hawthorn v Magpies kick off the finals Week 1 finals previews Friday 7 September First qualifying final Hawthorn v Collingwood, MCG, 7.50pm IT’S finals time; the bottom sides are packing their bags and only the strong remain. What a cracker of a match we have to start off. These two sides gave us a thrilling encounter in last year’s preliminary final when the Pies prevailed by three points. This year, however, the Hawks are the team to beat. Hawthorn comfortably finished top of the ladder and there seems daylight between the team and the other seven finalists. On a sad note, defender Brent Guerra has been ruled out for the season with a hamstring injury. For the Pies, they’re slowing building to the team we saw through the middle stages of the season. They had a win against Essendon, but only have a six-day turnaround. The biggest worry for the Pies recently has been the forward line, but Travis Cloke returned to form on the weekend, kicking five goals

and taking 16 marks. The teams have met twice this year and the Hawks won both games, by 22 and 47 points respectively. At this stage I can’t see anyone beating the Hawks, but this could change in the next four weeks. Hawthorn by 33 points. Last time they met in finals 2011 first preliminary final Collingwood 10.8-68 d Hawthorn 9.11-65, MCG, 87,112 Best: Collingwood: Swan, Cloke, Pendlebury, Davis, Tarrant. Hawthorn: Lewis, Burgoyne, Mitchell. Goals: Collingwood: Dawes 3, Cloke 3, Davis 1, Swan 1, Ball 1. Hawthorn: Franklin 3, Hodge 1, Lewis 1. Saturday 8 September Second qualifying final Adelaide v Sydney, AAMI Stadium, 3.15pm In the other qualifying final, two of the year’s more consistent teams battle it out for a spot in the preliminary final. From finishing 14th in 2011, the Crows have done an amazing job to finish second on the ladder. However, the ladder may just be a little bit deceptive, as Adelaide played GWS, Gold Coast and Port Adelaide twice this season. But winning form is still good form and the Crows have won eight of their last 10 matches. The Swans have had their own problems this year. They’ve suffered

losses to each of the top four sides. The Swans could be missing Heath Grundy after he elbowed James Podsiadly on the weekend and he may be suspended. When the two teams met earlier this year it was the Crows who got over the line by four points in an even match. Overall the Crows have the home ground advantage and have won 12 of the 14 matches against Sydney. Adelaide by 15 points. Last time they met in finals 1998 second semi-final Sydney 10.7-67 d by Adelaide 14.10-94, SCG, 37,498 Best: Adelaide: Vardy, McLeod, Smart, Robran, James. Sydney: O’Loughlin, Lewis, Roos. Goals: Adelaide: Vardy 6, McLeod 3, James 3, Ricciuto 1, Rehn 1. Sydney: O’Loughlin 3, Lewis 2, O’Farrell 1. Second elimination final Geelong v Fremantle, MCG, 7.45pm The Dockers head east for the elimination final against the Cats, and to play on the one ground where they struggle. Geelong this year has recovered from an early season form slump to march into September after three consecutive wins. The Cats are a very different side from the team that won three flags; only 13 players who played in at least two of them remain and there are

six players aged 30 plus in the team. Small forward Paul Chapman is a chance to miss after he was reported for striking Ben McGlynn on the weekend. The Dockers are playing like a finals side and will back themselves to win anywhere. They will have to overcome the loss of full-back Luke McPharlin who injured his hamstring and may have to bring Antoni Grover out of retirement. Overall the Cats have the home ground advantage and an average 39 more games of experience against the young Dockers side. Geelong by 54 points. Last time they met in finals 2010 second semi-final Geelong 20.15-135 d Fremantle 10.6-66, MCG, 45,056 Best: Geelong: Bartel, Selwood, Ablett, Kelly, Chapman. Fremantle: Mundy, Duffield, Johnson. Goals: Geelong: Stokes 3, Johnson 3, Podsiadly 3, Wojcinski 2, Selwood 1. Fremantle: Pavlich 4, Walters 3, Duffield 1. Sunday 9 September 9 First elimination final West Coast v North Melbourne, Patersons Stadium, 3.45pm In the final Sunday game of the year, the Eagles host the Kangaroos in a knockout final. The Eagles overall are pretty unlucky to miss out on the top

four, considering they were probably in better form than Sydney and Collingwood. On the weekend the Eagles faced the premiership favourites and looked off the pace, however Jack Darling looked lively, kicking three goals. The Kangaroos limped into the finals after being steamrolled by Fremantle and beating GWS in unconvincing fashion. It’s the first time since 2008 that they’ve made the top eight and they can take confidence from their last two games against the Eagles. In round six, West Coast won by just 15 points at home and in round 15 they won by just two points in Hobart. Overall the Eagles are in very good form and should progress through to the semi-final. West Coast by 45 points. Last time they met in finals 1997 first semi-final North Melbourne 15.8-98 d West Coast 12.13-85, MCG, 55,781 Best: Kangaroos: Pike, McKernan, Sholl, Bell, Martyn West Coast: Kemp, Jakovich, Peter Matera. Goals: Kangaroos: McKernan 4, Sholl 3, Carey 2, Allison 2, Anderson 1. West Coast: Phil Matera 3, Fewster 2, Banfield 2. Twitter: FootballTragic9 Total tips: 138

Blossoming tea tree sign of fishing time ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro FISHO have been champing at the bit, waiting for this cold and wet winter to end – and for the wicked wind from the north to abate. The tea tree is blossoming, winter is officially over and the AFL is into the finals. It’s time to go and catch some fish! Fishing bridges the footy and cricket seasons, and as with the two sports, preparation and preseason are the keys to success in the peak of the season. One of my old coaches used to tell me that if you take short cuts, you’re only cheating yourself. Based on his statement, here are my tips for a successful fishing season: 1. Make sure your gear is up to the job. So often I see people turning the catch of a lifetime into the one that got away. Make sure your reels are serviced, re-spooled and drags tested. Hooks should be sharp, new and free of rust. Check your fishing rods for cracks in the guides as these can fray lines as can missing ceramic inserts. Reel seats should be free of damage and still be able to firmly secure the reel to the rod. 2. Do your homework. Listen to boat ramp, pier and tackle shop banter, read fishing reports and then plan your piscatorial assault! There is no point fishing for fish that aren’t there. Time is precious in today’s society, so make the most of your fishing time. Match your fishing mission with fishing reports and weather forecasts. It’s better to wish you were on the water than to

used as a whiting bait would be best presented on a long shank hook, while a pippie or mussel bait is best presented on a wide gape or sport circle hook. 4. My number one tip for a successful fishing season is make sure your fishing transport is up to the task. Boats need servicing, safety equipment needs inspecting, batteries need charging and trailers inspecting. I often see boats with flat batteries, dirty fuel and engines just refusing to start. But still the number one and two ramp failures are bungs and tie downs. Cars also need love; they require special attention for long journeys and towing. Brakes, tyres, batteries, engine and lights are just a few items to consider. We’ll expand on these themes in coming issues. Tight lines and calm seas.

What’s biting

Snap this: Our fishing writer Paul Pingiaro outside his boat hire shed in Mornington shows off a nice catch.

wish you were not. 3. Bait up! Many keen anglers catch their own bait. This can be squid, nippers, mullet, garfish and others. If you take the time to get your own bait, make sure you store it correctly. This may mean vacuum bagging, salting or keeping alive.

Peninsula Division

Goalkicking woes BONBEACH coach Stevey Capp is running out of excuses for his team’s poor goalkicking. Last week he blamed the “tricky wind” at Mornington for his side’s 10.28. This week, he reckons it was a flat ball after his side booted 11.17 in the elimination final. “One of the players told me the ball was a bit flat, so we’ll go with that,” Capp said. “It has happened two weeks in a row and I’m running out of excuses. “The more you worry about it, the bigger the problem becomes I think.” Capp was ecstatic with his team’s eight-point win against Seaford, saying it had given the club some belief. “Our last finals campaign was in Nepean Division in 2004. I can’t remember our last finals campaign in Peninsula,” Capp said. “We want to change the perception of our club and I think we are making giant steps in achieving that.”

Teams of the year THE Peninsula and Nepean division teams of the year have been selected after some heavy deliberation. Eight coaches from Peninsula and 10 coaches from Nepean selected their teams of the year. There were 50 players selected in the Nepean side and 54 in the Peninsula team. In the end, 22 outstanding footballers who collected the most votes were chosen. You’d be pretty happy coaching either of them. The teams will be announced at an upcoming awards night.

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

Squid: The last week has been a little quiet on both bays for squid. Fishing has been hampered by the wind and rain and although the weekend was fine, the water was still quite murky. Flinders and Mornington piers have been best for a few inkers, while on the boats, Tyabb bank in Western Port is okay with squid to 1.5kg. Whiting: Although patchy, King George whiting to 45cm are in good numbers on the Tyabb bank and off Balnarring. Snapper: Snapper are starting to show in both bays. Best locations have been Eagle Rock in Western Port and off Carrum, Mornington and Mt Martha for Port Phillip. Best times have been

the change of tide and best baits have been fresh squid or oily fish like pilchards, salmon, couta or red rockets. Garfish: Garfish are being caught off Mornington pier; best baits are silverfish. Anglers fishing out of Yaringa Boat Harbour are catching snapper, squid, couta, flathead, whiting and salmon. While the fishing has been patchy, as the water temperature heats up so will the action.
