‘Censorship’ stoush By Neil Walker NORTH Ward councillor Paul Peulich has accused Kingston Council of censorship over its refusal to publish his regular ward column in the March edition of the council’s Kingston Your City monthly newsletter. Cr Peulich claims council “unduly censored” his column and impinged his freedom of speech. The March edition of Kingston Your City, distributed to 62,700 Kingston homes and 8000 businesses, was published with a blank space in place of Cr

Peulich’s regular column. All councillors write a column for the newsletter. Cr Peulich supplied a copy of his proposed column to The News. The column railed against “recent political attacks against me in the media…intended to distract from significant policy issues faced by Kingston Council”. Cr Peulich told The News he had been advised by council CEO John Nevins, in his role as Kingston Your City editor-in-chief, that his rejected column “was not consistent with council communications policy”. “Keeping the community informed

goes to the heart of my role as a councillor,” Cr Peulich said. “Council is trying to stymie debate.” Kingston mayor Ron Brownlees, responding on council’s behalf, said: “Paul’s ward column was assessed as not complying with council’s approved guidelines for media relations and Kingston Your City and it was submitted well outside the deadline. It is a common practice for ward columns to be edited to ensure compliance. Paul was given an opportunity to edit his column and it still did not comply.” Cr Peulich disputed the column was

submitted after publication deadline. Section 2.2 of the council’s media guidelines state: ‘KYC is not intended to be a vehicle for councillors or officers to criticise fellow councillors, community members, members of the government or opposition, or council officers… At all times a conservative approach will be adopted to ensure the above intentions are protected.’ Cr Peulich has also found his fellow councillors resistant to debating issues he raised at the latest council meeting. The minutes of the latest meeting, on 25 February, show Cr Peulich failed

to find another councillor to second all five of his ‘notices of motions’ for debate. Cr Peulich advised The News: “The usual custom is…a councillor supports a notice of motion so it can be debated. They (the councillor seconding the notice of motion) do not have to agree with the proposal put forward.” The notices of motion included a proposal that Kingston’s audit committee be renamed the ethics and audit committee and it should possibly have expanded powers.

Bridged: Veronica Nenuz of Bicycle Network Victoria leads the way across the new trail bridge at Seaford for Carrum MP Donna Bauer, Roads Minister Terry Mulder, Jason Den Hollander of Bicycle Network Victoria and Geoff Rayner, LMA chief operating officer.

On yer bikes: Link trail bridge opened CYCLISTS will be able to ride from Patterson Lakes to Moorooduc when the Peninsula Link Trail is completed midyear. About 17.5 kilometres of the trail is useable, about 70 per cent of the total path. The trail’s final pedestrian and cycling bridge has been opened in Seaford over the Frankston Freeway. Sections along the Mornington Tourist Rail Line at Moorooduc and through the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve in Frankston South are yet to be completed. The trail begins at Patterson River in Patterson Lakes, connecting to the ex-

isting gravel Dandenong Creek Trail, which joins the EastLink Trail. The path ends in Moorooduc at Mt Eliza Regional Park near the intersection of Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Rd West. Roads Minister Terry Mulder walked part of the trail to mark the opening of the final bridge. “Since day one of Peninsula Link’s opening, we have had rave reviews from cyclists and pedestrians about the new trail, which is opening progressively over the coming months,” Mr Mulder said. “It’s helping people to get out and

about – whether they are walking the dog, walking or riding to school or work, or getting fresh air and exercise outside. “There are many attractions that people can stop at along the trail, including McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Ballam Park Homestead and Sages Cottage in Baxter. “This last bridge will make it easier for more people to use the trail by connecting Seaford to Carrum Downs and Frankston North.” To view a map of the path and the sections available or to vote on a logo, visit www.linking melbourne.vic.gov.au/PeninsulaLinkTrail.

SOME of us are a bit tired of this drawn out summer, but one visitor to Mordialloc is enjoying the warm weather and beautiful beaches after a cruelly cold winter in Europe. Cecile Fouque arrived in Melbourne from France in January and is settling in to her role as language assistant at Mordialloc College and Edithvale Primary School. Ms Fouque is the third language assistant to be hosted by the college in the Language Assistant Program funded by the Department of Education. French teacher Bibi Peerbux said she felt very lucky to have the assistance of Ms Fouque, whose fluency in French was invaluable for Year 12 students developing oral language skills. During her year in Australia, Ms Fouque will spend two days a week at the college and two days at the primary school before returning to France next January to continue her tertiary studies.

Peulich ‘political bloc’ claim Continued from Page 1 Other notices claimed ‘council was misinformed prior to the decision to take unprecedented heavy handed actions against promotion signs’ and called for ‘a probity review be undertaken of the rezoning of Archibald Honey and adjacent retirement village into the green wedge’. Cr Ron Brownlees advised The News: “I’ve seen a motion go unseconded before, but never as many in a row.� He claimed councillors prefer to have “no surprises� and like to have time to research an issue before it is raised in the council chamber. “I’m assuming it’s a reminder from the other councillors to follow the normal process. The normal process is that you give notice at the previous week’s councillor briefing meeting on the Monday before the council meeting,� Cr Brownlees said. “Processes are important if you want the support of your colleagues. It is not a legal requirement, it’s a courtesy.� Cr Peulich became embroiled in controversy over a November 2012 bid for the mayorship before council-

lor Brownlees was elected as mayor by his peers. Cr Peulich’s mother, upper house MP Inga Peulich, was accused of meddling in local politics, amid allegations she threatened to ruin the careers of Kingston councillors who did not vote for her son to be mayor. (‘Questions on mayoral poll’, Chelsea-Mordialloc News, 23/01/13). Cr Peulich refused to be drawn on speculation on his failed bid to become mayor, dismissing the controversy as “part of a media cycle.� Cr David Eden, elected as Victoria’s youngest councillor in October last year, advised The News: “Eight councillors are working very well together and one seems to be doing his own thing.� Cr Peulich claimed “Seven or eight councillors have aligned themselves with the mayor and a political bloc has been established to silence me.�

Development denied By Jo Winterbottom KINGSTON Council has knocked back plans for a 59-unit development in Edithvale, but there are fears it will get the go ahead on appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. The developer of the complex was accused of “putting dollars before people” by South Ward councillor David Eden, who said pushing for an additional 10 units when there was already approval for a four-storey, 49-unit development was “pure greed”. “This is about trying to get as many units as possible on the block, without concern for people or the community,” Cr Eden said. “This development is more like something you might see in Camberwell or Toorak; people are shocked that something like this even raises its head in Kingston.” But he was concerned council might be forced to approve the plan if the developer appeals to the VCAT. “VCAT is often seen as pro-develop-

ment,” he said. The initial application for 49 units on four house blocks in Station St and Clydebank Rd was refused in April 2011 as being “too intense” for the site. It was later approved by VCAT. When the proposal was debated at last week’s council meeting, Chelsea Heights resident Susan Walker made an impassioned plea on behalf of 41 objectors. Ms Walker cares for her elderly mother, who has lived in Station St for 62 years. “My mother’s house would be in shadow nearly all year round,” she said. The development next door to the home where she grew up would be “a pimple on an otherwise beautiful face”. She vowed to speak against the plan if it goes to VCAT again, as she did last time it went to the tribunal. “I’m hoping it doesn’t go that far, because it is very stressful, but if they take this back to VCAT, I’ll be there,” she said.

Mordialloc by the Bay festival THIS year’s Mordialloc by the Bay Food, Wine and Music Festival takes place on Saturday 16 March and Sunday 17 March. Tens of thousands of people turn out every year to enjoy the fabulous performers, chefs and food and wine on hand at the festival held at Peter Scullin Reserve in Mordialloc. With live music across two stag-

es and cooking demonstrations in the Master Chef Marquee from 1pm each day, it promises to be a fantastic weekend for all the family. Sample a fantastic range of gourmet food, local wines and micro brewed beer all weekend. Full festival program details are available at www.kingston.vic. gov.au

Playgroup aims for 40 not out THEY say life begins at forty, and Chelsea Heights Playgroup hopes this is definitely the case. The not-for-profit playgroup will celebrate its fortieth anniversary of enhancing young lives this year, but faces the threat of closure due to dwindling child attendance. Committee secretary Carly Bunny

believes numbers are falling since “not a lot of people know about us” despite the playgroup’s longevity. The community playgroup operates each Wednesday and Thursday from 9.30am until 11am at the Chelsea Heights Community Centre and is run on a “drop in” basis with a fee of $6 per family per visit payable.

The playgroup provides craft activities and plenty of toys for youngsters to play with. “The first visit to the playgroup is free,” Carly said. Contact Chelsea Heights Playgroup vice-president Kristen Waters on 0403 190 488 or email chelseaheightspg@ gmail.com for further information.

Council opposes airport retail development By Jo Winterbottom PLANS for further retail development at Moorabbin Airport could ring the death knell for Dingley Village, Kingston Council has warned. It says trade in Dingley Village could halve and shoppers could be drawn from other centres such as Aspendale Gardens if the plan goes ahead for a Wesfarmers retail complex on 4.8 hectares at the corner of Boundary and Centre-Dandenong roads. The plan includes a supermarket, two liquor stores, Kmart, Officeworks and K-Auto shop.

Amid fears for the independence of the Moorabbin Airport Corporation, which leases and runs the airport, Kingston has called for an independent panel to review the proposal. In a statement released after last week’s council meeting, at which councillors unanimously endorsed council’s submission opposing the plan, mayor Ron Brownlees questioned the planning process in which the corporation “which will gain financially from the proposal, is also responsible for reviewing submissions received in relation to the proposal”. Cr Brownlees said there were con-

cerns local traders and residents would be “overlooked”. “The impact on the strong community feel of Dingley Village could be devastating if this proposal proceeds; that’s why we are seeking an independent assessment panel to ensure the opinions of all stakeholders are heard,” he said. The Wesfarmers proposal failed to comply with national, state and local planning schemes or the Aviation Act, he said. It was at odds with the Kingston planning scheme, which calls for retail developments to be located in a residential “catchment” area.

The airport development was surrounded by industrial and green wedge areas, with no residential catchment. Kingston Residents’ Association president Maureen Lim said Kingston was particularly vulnerable to large retails developments. “The unique feature of Kingston is our villages, it’s what makes us stand out from other suburban areas,” she said. “If this development goes through and destroys Dingley village then it is the first step to destroying our other villages like Aspendale, Edithvale, Carrum and Chelsea.”

Spencer takes on Dreyfus for Isaacs seat By Jo Winterbottom A RETIRED army lieutenant colonel and community activist has been selected as the Liberal Party candidate for the federal seat of Isaacs after the surprise withdrawal of experienced election campaigner Jeff Shelley. Long-time Mentone resident Garry Spencer said he was “delighted to accept the honour” of contesting Isaacs, which is held by federal Attorney General Mark Dreyfus. There was speculation that Mr Shelley was dumped because of his connection with solar installation company Cool World, now under administration, but Liberal Party state director Damien Mantach said Mr Shelley has withdrawn “due to

unforseen personal circumstances”. Mr Shelley’s page on professional networking site LinkedIn, on which he describes himself as a “business growth and change manager”, lists a “10 month full-time assignment at Cool World International” from April 2012 to January 2013. His responsibilities included “business development within the emerging commercial solar market,business analysis and reporting to directors”. He was the endorsed Liberal candidate for Carrum in the 2006 state election and for Isaacs in the 2004 federal election. Mr Spencer, who said he has been a member of the Liberal Party for “more than a year” said he was

HUGE

invited to step into the unexpected vacancy in Isaacs shortly after Mr Shelley withdrew. Mr Spencer said he would resign as convener of Mordialloc Creek Community group in order to devote himself to campaigning in Isaacs. The group, which represents commercial and recreational users of the creek, has been active in lobbying for better maintenance of the creek, including dredging and a new mooring plan. His other community interests have included the development of the Mentone Track and Field Centre and the Friends of Mentone Station and Gardens. During a long career in the Australian defence forces Mr Spencer

served in international delegations in the British and United States armies. His final posting was as director of army quality assurance. He has also worked as a consultant in the IT industry and lectured in engineering at RMIT University. Despite repeated polls indicating the government will be routed at September’s federal election, Mr Spencer faces a mighty challenge to win Isaacs, which Mr Dreyfus holds by a margin of 10.4 per cent. “It’s going to be a challenge alright,” he said. “All of the issues in the community I’ve been involved with have had a challenge and I am not afraid of that.”

Hospital ward stays closed FRANKSTON Hospital will not reopen its short-stay ward of 10 beds before Easter despite the federal government promising extra money. The hospital closed the ward after the federal government late last year cut $107 million from Victoria’s health budget, including almost $5 million from Peninsula Health’s budget. The cuts came after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reduced Victoria’s population estimates for the current financial year, triggering the federal cuts. The action sparked a long-running dispute between Canberra and the Baillieu government that continues. Last week the federal government said it would restore the $107 million but send it direct to health networks rather than the state government. Hospital spokesman John Jukes said the ward was meant to open after the summer break but would stay closed until Easter as “we have received no formal notification” of the federal money. Patients use the ward if their stay is less than 48 hours. Labor’s candidate for Dunkley, Sonya Kilkenny, said “Ted Baillieu has proved he’s completely incapable of running Victoria’s health system”. “More than 46,000 Victorians are languishing on elective surgery waiting lists, ambulance response times have blown out and Mr Baillieu’s response has been to slash $616 million from the state’s health system and point the finger at the federal government,” she said.

Kingston crime rate climbs

History beachcombers: The Chelsea and District Historical Society’s Neal Marlow, Pat Batchelor and Ron Jacobs (at rear) display some of the items on display at ‘The Beach’ exhibition at Chelsea’s Court House Museum. Picture: Yanni.

History shows life’s a beach TAKE a few beachside steps back in time at Chelsea’s Court House Museum on The Strand. The Chelsea and District Historical Society’s “The Beach” exhibition traces the history and social changes on Chelsea and surrounding beaches. Storyboards and displays tell the story of the area’s beaches. “The beach is an integral part of Chelsea’s history and seaside culture,” society committee member and exhibition co-ordinator Pat Batchelor said. A former squatting run, the Chelsea beach or long beach as it is also known,

became a popular beach resort in the early 20th Century. The completion of the newly named ‘Chelsea’ railway station in 1907, an established roadway and the growing popularity of healthy beachside living attracted large numbers of wealthy Melbournians and campers alike. Between 1905 and 1910, cheap land prices also resulted in the migration of large numbers of working-class people to the area on a permanent basis. The Chelsea Lifesaving Club was established in 1917 and in 1938 the first official annual general meeting of the

Chelsea Yacht Club took place. Chelsea Yacht Club has loaned a 12foot Sabot sailing boat for exhibition alongside 19th century replica campsite and miniature-scale models of Chelsea beach over three decades.  “The Beach” exhibition and Court House Museum is open by appointment on Saturdays from 16 March 2013 at 10am to 1pm and every Sunday from 1pm to 4pm. The entry fee for adults is $2 with children admitted free of charge. Call Margaret Diggerson at the Chelsea and District Historical Society on 9772 1897 for further information.

By Neil Walker KINGSTON’S crime rate surged in 2012, with police noting significant rises in drug offences and residential burglaries. The total crime rate for the Kingston Police Service Area in 2012 rose by 15.2 per cent to 9,631 reported offences, up from 8,327 offences in 2011. Inspector Mick Glowaski said the rapid rise in drug offences was due to more intelligence being received by police and action being taken to stop the cultivation of marijuana in socalled “safe houses” in the area. “The drug ice is also a problem across the state,” Inspector Glowaski said. “But it’s no more or less of an issue in the Kingston area than elsewhere.” He admitted drugs use was one of the “drivers” of residential burglaries

as addicts steal to finance their habit. Crime against the person rose marginally by 4 per cent to 1,247 in 2012, up from 1,199 in 2011. Inspector Glowaski noted many assaults occurred near railway stations. Motor vehicle thefts, also prevalent at railway stations, rose by 16.7 per cent in 2012, to 1,160. He praised the introduction of protective services officers at Carrum railway station and reckoned they would make a positive difference to public safety. “They give the public a sense of security,” Inspector Glowaski said. A specialist family violence unit is to be established to proactively address repeat offenders and to help repeat victims. Inspector Glowaski said Kingston area police officers were focused on “ensuring people are safe”.

Ironman hits Kingston roads TRIATHLETES from around the world will descend on Melbourne on 24 March to compete in the ‘Urban Ironman’ Asia-Pacific Championships Melbourne.

ROSEBUD KITE FESTIVAL ~Victoria’s premier Kite Flying event.

Now in it’s 10th year, the Rosebud Kite festival has grown from small beginnings to become Victoria’s largest Kite Festival. Last year’s event broke previous attendance records by attracting over 15,000 visitors with an impressive cast of Kite Flying experts from New Zealand and around Australia. This free family festival is back again in 2013, with aerial kite displays, unique kite-craft, roving entertainment and more.

Ghost town: Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer believes this section of Kananook Boulevard is a bit tired and like a ghost town. Replacing it will cost the city at least $2 million. The destruction of the two-year-old boulevard is necessary to build the new eight-storey headquarters for South East Water between the creek and the five-storey Landmark building at left.

The program in 2013, welcomes back Craig Hansen’s team from Peter Lynn Kites New Zealand, and their amazing super-sized maxi kite aerials. Kevin Sanders and the Ozfeathers team from South Australia will be racing the clouds with sport kites and Jan O’Loughlin from Queensland will be up close and personal, showing off her fabulous JURXQG GZHOOLQJ LQà DWDEOH FUHDWLRQV

Water HQ to cost Frankston $2m

By Keith Platt FRANKSTON ratepayers face a minimum $2 million bill to fix the “boulevard� alongside Kananook Creek after completion of the new South East Water headquarters. Although the $9 million Kananook Creek Boulevard was officially opened on 28 February 2010, the mayor Cr Sandra Mayer says it is already “a bit tired ... a ghost town�. She said councillors had always known the city would have to pay to rebuild the part of the boulevard running beside the South East Water HQ. The latest revelation of add-on costs is one of the concessions Frankston Council made to ensure that the water authority came to the city. To fast-track the development, council also abandoned planning height rules and handed responsibility to Planning Minister Matthew Guy. The site between Wells and Playne streets was sold to South East Water for $4 million, but critics say it should have been valued after planning regulations were relaxed. Council expects the state government to meet more than half of the $5-$6 million cost of replacing the boulevard, which opened with much fanfare just two years ago. Developers normally pay for damage to public infrastructure, but in South East Water’s case, council has agreed to waive the obligation. Council will not receive any rates for the new building. Cr Mayer says the benefits to Frankston outweigh the costs, citing income brought to the city by 700 white collar jobs in the building itself and staff needed by cafes and shops. She is “absolutely comfortable� with council paying for part of the restoration of the boulevard. “It is already looking a bit tired. It will improve the area; people should be pleased,� she said. “It is a dead area, like a ghost town.� Cr Mayer said design details had yet to be worked out, but she believed the state government would spend $400,000 desilting the creek: “I think there’s room for boat moorings.� An article lauding the benefits of the $9 million boulevard on council’s website describes the section that will be ripped up as “the heart of the boulevard�. The accompanying photo also features the section in front of the planned South

East Water building. Cr Glenn Aitken is “disgusted with the whole thing� and believes South East Water should have built closer to the railway station. “Councillors were constantly told that this was a deal breaker and they were misguided enough to agree to more and demands by South East Water,� he said. “The whole deal was negotiated behind closed doors.� Cr Aitken said allowing a high-rise building on the banks of the creek was against the council’s planning policy of wanting smaller buildings closer to the beach. “At eight storeys it will drown out the whole of the Landmark building, whose owners and tenants had a reasonable case to believe they would never be built out. “They bloody well deserve a rate reduction if they ever ask; South East water won’t be paying any rates.� Cr Aitken said the new “monolithic� building would “materially impact on the enjoyment of people on the foreshore reserve�. “Public money is being wasted. It is a total waste. How bizarre, weird and warped is it for anyone to entertain ripping up expensive works [the boulevard] for the convenience of South East Water? “Council has been done over once again.� Robert Thurley, former Kananook Creek Association president and a member of Long Island Residents Association, said any damage to the boulevard should be repaired by the developer. “They [council] never finished the boulevard, building a bridge and putting a car park there instead of a plaza with restaurants and cafes,� he said. “An office block was never contemplated.� Mr Thurley accused council of having an “ad hoc approach to rewriting its own master plans�. He believed lobbyists for a marina at the bottom of Olivers Hill were “active behind the scenes� to make sure boat moorings in the creek were kept to a minimum. With fences soon to be erected around the building site, a “happening� was expected on 16 March, with people gathering on the boulevard between Wells and Playne streets “to remember what might have been�.

WHAT’S NEW

Bookshop fantasy a reality NOTIONS Unlimited Bookshop opened its doors on 6 March 2012, and is still going strong one year on. The bookshop specialises in science fiction, fantasy and horror titles and also stocks comic books and graphic novels, Manga comics, TV tiein books, including Doctor Who and Star Trek. Warhammer roleplaying and board games are also in stock in store, along with an extensive selection of posters, related art and non-fiction books. New age afficiandos are also well catered for with a vast range of esoteric and new age titles featuring ghosts, UFOs, Wicca and angels also available. Owner Chuck McKenzie had been planning to open Notions Unlimited Bookshop for a number of years, but finally decided to act after the Borders and Angus & Robertson book chains folded, leaving a sizeable gap in the bookselling market. Sticking to a specialty range has kept the bookshop trading strongly despite the popularity of ereaders and cheap online booksellers. Chuck and his staff’s commitment to providing

excellent customer service and a friendly instore atmosphere - a major point of difference from similar retailers - has seen Notions Unlimited amass a growing community of genre fans who view the shop as almost a second home. The store also does its best to support the local community, donating books to fundraisers for the fire department, kindergartens and primary schools. Fundraisers have also been held for Biala Peninsula, a charity which provides early intervention services for kids with autism. You are invited to Notions Unlimited Bookshop’s first birthday bash on Saturday 23 March featuring renowned Australian horror author Robert Hood signing copies of his latest novel, Fragments of a Broken Land: Valarl Undead. Call Notions Unlimited Bookshop on 9773 1102 for further details.  Shop opening Hours: Mon-Wed 9am-5pm; Thu/Fri 9am-9pm; Saturday 9am-7pm, Sunday 10am-5pm.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

The orchestra: life’s ultimate utensil By Stuart McCullough WE’VE all seen the adverts – jarring visuals and startling music combined with a voice-over that’s as close to hysteria as is possible without actually exploding. Easy to clean! Removes unwanted stains! (As though there’s any other kind.) Turns a sandwich into a banquet! The problem with these commercials is that when the product is ultimately unveiled, it’s impossible to be anything but underwhelmed. Usually, the device is little more than a plastic lump with a metal attachment, resembling the results of an appendectomy if performed on a washing machine. Plastic surgical offcuts are seldom much use. There’s only one thing that can truly do everything. When most people think of an orchestra, they either think of an uptight bunch of classical musicians existing in the rarefied world of classical music or, possibly, the words “Electric Light”. But an orchestra is so much more than just a 100-person cover band churning out the greatest hits of Beethoven and Mahler. Better than anything, orchestras set the mood. Forget candles or incense; if you really want to control the emotional temperature, music is the way to go. And when it comes to the heavy artillery, nothing packs as much punch as an orchestra. That’s why almost every film you’ve ever seen relies on an orchestra to pull emotional strings. Let me be the first to say I love the Oscars. They’re cheesy and, to borrow from David Niven, succeed in squeezing two hours of entertainment

into four hours. But more than set the mood, the Oscars let an orchestra display its versatility. Besides giving the occasion a sense of gravitas, the orchestra is an indispensible tool for getting people to shut up. Often, an actor, actress or, more horrifyingly, one of the guys from the special effects team will win an award and mistake it as an invitation

to thank everyone they’ve ever met by name or, worse still, attempt to tell their life story. As the entire viewing audience starts to turn rigid with fear, the orchestra cuts in and brings proceedings to a merciful end. There should be more of it. Who among us hasn’t wished for an orchestra to cut off someone mid-sentence? Last week I was at a conference. It

10% OFF ALL TINTING

included a panel discussion moderated by a man who, perhaps thinking he had just won the award for best sound editing, took it as an opportunity to tell his life story and not allow the panel members to get a word in edgewise. Even when it was pointed out that he had used up all the allotted time and the next session was now delayed, he continued. It is difficult to convey how awful it was and I began to lament that lightning strikes are almost unheard of indoors as I wished for any calamity that would shut this turkey up. If only there had been an orchestra on hand. But more than just the ultimate silencer, there’s so much more a fully functioning orchestra can do. For years, local councils have used classical music to deter young people from hanging around train stations and shopping malls. To be fair, such locations are logical places for young people to lurk, particularly if they want to catch a train or buy something. But imagine how much more effective such programs would be if, instead of a compact disc, an entire symphony orchestra was squeezed in between platform two and the kiosk? Rather than drive young people away, it would give them a chance to properly appreciate the awesome mindblowing power of classical music. Local hoodlums could develop a passion for Rachmaninov. That said, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring is more likely to encourage anti-social behaviour than curb it, having nearly caused a riot when it premiered in 1913. For myself, although I’ve been in

lots of bands, I was only ever in one orchestra and, even then, for a very brief time. In high school, I studied percussion. Inspired either by Tito Puente or, possibly, Sheila E, I turned up for two lessons before my teacher decided it was time for me to join the school orchestra. Right from the outset, I could tell I was different from the other 70 members of the group. For starters, the others were able to play their instruments with a degree of proficiency. To make things worse, the other members of the orchestra had practised their parts; something I considered unnecessary. As the music started, everyone else paid a great deal of attention to their sheet music. In contrast, I decided to improvise. And while I hoped that my contribution would be lost in the cacophony, this was unlikely given that I was playing the drums. Indeed, as I flailed like a Muppet, it became obvious that I was playing as though I was in a different band, if not performing a different piece of music. The conductor was aghast and stopped the performance solely for the purpose of asking me what it was I was doing. As 140 eyes focused on me, it was clear that no answer I could provide would be good enough. In an ideal world, I would have picked up my sticks, made a short concession speech and left the room as the remaining members of the orchestra gave me a suitable musical send off. Sadly, it was not to be. I simply had to take it, with humiliation as my only accompaniment. www.stuartmccullough.com

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 6 March 2013

Performance THE Mornington Peninsula is an exciting place in summer and early autumn with many festivals and concerts including Peninsula Summer Music Festival, Red Hill Country Music Festival, RAW Family Music Festival, Rosebud Kite Festival, Ventana Fiesta and more. It was disappointing for me as a local radio journalist and music writer to not be given access to the Between the Bays Festival to review and catch up with friend Troy Cassar-Daley. There are moves on for a new music festival on the peninsula in 2014 with a focus on local talent. More news on this in the coming weeks. Now in its seventh year, the Ventana Fiesta promises another colourful burst of Latin American, Portuguese and Spanish cultures during March. Music, food, art, craft and more as you enjoy the Latino culture and experience that is Ventana. More info www.thefac.com.au *** MORNING Star Estate is going through some major changes in 2013. The estate where Judy Barrett planted more than 75,000 roses of more than 600 varieties in what were once paddocks overlooking Port Phillip has become the peninsula’s premier restaurant and function venues. Set amid 22 acres of exquisite gardens and 30 acres of vines, the 19th century mansion Morning Star has panoramic views of Port Philip stretching from the Bellarine Peninsula to Melbourne. More news to come on music concerts, new dining packages and a website. www.visitmorningtonpeninsula.org *** ERIC Clapton gave up his career as a designer of stained glass windows to concentrate on blues guitar. His first breakthrough came in 1963 when he joined the Yardbirds. It was short-lived and he left the band the following year to be replaced by Jeff Beck. He went on to play with John Mayall and before long Eric’s flashy guitar playing gained him cult status in the

UK. Eric then teamed up with Peter (Ginger) Baker and his best friend Scotsman Jack Bruce to form Cream with the help of Robert Stigwood and released the hits White Room, Badge, Layla, Sunshine of Your Love, Strange Brew, Crossroads and I Feel Free. On the heels of a sold-out Crossroads Guitar Festival and the announcement of a major world tour, Eric Clapton releases his 21st studio album Old Sock (Universal) his first album since 2010. The album, produced by Clapton and friends features two new original songs, Every Little Thing and Gotta Get Over. The album is a collection of some of Clapton’s favourite songs spanning from his childhood to the present day that highlights his vast appreciation and knowledge of music. Clapton has always had a remarkable ability to recognise great songs and a gift for knowing how to uniquely interpret them, as he does on Old Sock. The album explores romantic standards of the 30s, reggae, soul, rock, and includes a standout playful collaboration with Paul McCartney, to create an experience that is quintessential Clapton. Clapton assembled a band for the recordings consisting of long-time collaborators Steve Gadd (drums), Willie Weeks (bass) and Chris Stainton (keyboards) along with some surprise guest additions. JJ Cale joins the song Angel for backing vocals and guitar, Chaka Khan joins as backing vocalist for Get on Over, Steve Winwood on the Hammond B3 Organ on Still Got the Blues, Paul McCartney on bass/ vocals on All of M, Jim Keltner on drums for Our Love is here to Stay. Old Sock is out 15 March. *** SHOCK has released the groundbreaking documentary series AFP: Australian Federal Police on a two-DVD set taking you behind the scenes with the men and women of Australia’s AFP. The documentary was produced over more than two

years and filmed in more than eight countries including Colombia, Russia and the Philippines. Running time is 227 minutes and in widescreen. www. shockdvd.com.au *** AS Victorians eagerly await the Melbourne premiere season of the international award-winning Broadway and West End hit Legally Blonde the Musical , the producers have announced an exciting hometown return of a beloved local lad. After a 20-year absence from performing in Melbourne, Cameron Daddo is set to return in Australia’s biggest new hit musical at the Princess Theatre from 9th May 2013. Daddo, born and bred in Melbourne, first came to the attention of Australian television viewers as the host of the children’s television show Off the Dish which soon led to him hosting his own program: The Cameron Daddo Cartoon Show. He made his mark on the Australian musical stage in Gordon/Frost’s Big River, winning several major awards for his critically acclaimed portrayal of Huckleberry Finn. www.legallyblonde.com.au Top 10 albums 1.

trusive visit to your local pie shop. Skip the sauce; it smells. *** ON the internet: Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what is known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. See? It’s not us, it’s the bloody doors. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. Phew. *** DERRYN Hinch: “With my new found health I want to spend my remaining years focussing on my career.” Derryn mate, devote what remains to obscurity. Renounce all concern for name and glory. Among other gratifications give up the one which comes from other people’s approval. It’s a waste of your now valuable time. Try Chelsea, or New Zealand. *** TEDDDY knocks off $600 million from the health budget then screams because Julia did likewise with $107 million; Julia pays up but Health Minister David Davis still screams fowl. As a not so avid listener of numerous hospital stories at my local RSL I’m intrigued by the permanency of complaints. My personal experiences oppose these views. Rosebud and Frankston hospitals (including one overnight in a passageway) have al-

ways been friendly, professional and downright nice. We are lucky with our terrific hospital system, in spite of politicians. *** I COULD never warm to Wayne Swann, his skill at sticking with the strength outweighing his knowledge of the multiplication tables. His words about Julia on television “many would agree is the toughest warrior for Labor values in our history?” His shadow, if Joe Hockey could ever be described as such, is surely his equal, either rubbishing something outright and misleading the voters or claiming it as his idea in the first place; a mind change on the flip of a threepenny bit. Both without courage and much bluster and both appear to hide an inferiority complex suggesting (to me at least) they could well be a threat to the public interest. Surplus, surplus and nothing else. Well, not for Wayne anymore; a false figure anyway, a doctored bottom line. A decent-size deficit would surely get things up and running again. Most of the good things done in Victoria were built on deficits. No real damage for now I suppose, both being such glorified “yes” men. *** ON the surface it appears Ben Zygler, with his dual citizenship, was an Israeli secret service spy (as in spying on us) but decided on a bit each way with ASIO.

A Grain of Salt IT’S the heatwave. My brain was frazzled, the threads barely visible. Try Cliffie. Write anything ...“Knowledge brings power to people!” Where do we acquire this knowledge; Mount Sinai? Innovative ways of involving different sections of the community in matters of obesity? Psychological reasons for implementing programs in the workplace? Can it work, impact? Healthy dads and mums, healthy kids, the importance of living together as a family, eat together. A meaningful conversation between parents and children (USA study) works out at 3.5 minutes a week. Enthusiastic PT teachers, workplace power, a blokey program; evidence based. Information sessions, DVD presentations. It’s all about equality of life; a new language. Listen up! Vague but it’s the best I can manage. *** FOLLOWING on, the NHMRC (these names? National Health Medical Research Council; read “control freaks”) official new dietary guidelines for the evening meal suggest up to 100 grams of fish (don’t drop it or you’ll never find it) rice and a small boiled potato with a glass of water. And that’s for men! For the lovelies it’s a cup of pasta, small beef mince, kidney beans and half an onion; resulting in a race of healthy skeletons. If anyone out there is forced to try this (by a hoodwinked partner or parent) I suggest an unob-

and eventual (suspicious) suicide. No surprises there. The Israelis, like the Board of Control for Cricket in India with ABC commentator Jim Maxwell, are a law unto themselves. Bob Carr and Stephen Smith’s comments suggest it will all blow over. Kevvy Rudd had a go at forged passports by Israel some years back, howled down by many. How is Julian Assange travelling Bob? Check both matters out with Barack O before you answer. *** “SINCE [narcissists] deep down feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world’s fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.” (M. Scott Peck). I immediately think of the AFL, a giant money ship full of leaks and super self- important people supposedly of substance and Matt Rendell and the Melbourne Football Club and no Tassie team and money, lots of money. Why is that? Does money corrupt? Nah, well, only if it’s coming your way. Oh, and Mossad. *** According to Pope Benedict XV1 God told him to devote himself to quiet contemplation; me too ...

Baxter, POB, Sharks and Dogs in semis PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER will tackle Peninsula Old Boys while Sorrento will tackle Mornington in MPCA Provincial semi-finals this weekend. While Baxter and the Old Boys will head into the knockout final coming off wins, the Doggies and Sharks will need to turn around their last round form in the semi-final clash after losing their final home and away matches. The teams have met once this season. The reigning premiers met POB in the first game after Christmas, a oneday match at Baxter Park. On that occasion, POB won the toss, sent Baxter in to bat and restricted the home side to 8/140 in its allocated 40 overs. Daniel Warwick top-scored for Baxter with 64, while Adam Jones and Jon Forrest did the damage with the ball with 3/20 and 3/36 respectively. Unfortunately for the Old Boys, its batsmen couldn’t back up the bowlers and were rolled for 136 in the final over.

Glenn Prendergast led from the front with 50, while Dylan O’Malley was next best with 12. Sam Wolsgrove did the damage with the ball for Baxter with 3/27, while Dale Irving claimed 2/22. Sorrento and Mornington went headto-head at David MacFarlan Reserve just a month ago in round nine. Sorrento batted first and amassed 220 from 74.3 overs, Liam O’Connor top-scoring with 74, Leigh Poholke getting 25 and Rob Dunball 32. A J King at the end put on a more than handy 19. Matt Foon did most of the damage for the Doggies with 5/48 from 18 overs, while Glenn Wood claimed 2/63. In reply, the Doggies had to dig deep but scored 8/225 from its 75 overs. At one stage Mornington was 5/133. Ben Clements top-scored with 57, Luke Popov hit 47 and 15-year-old Ryan McDonald burst onto the MPCA scene with 30. Andrew King claimed 5/84 from 31 overs for the Sharks. All four sides are evenly matched. Luck and producing something special on the day will be the only difference

between them. Mornington is the new kid on the block in terms of finals experience, sitting in the cricketing wilderness in recent seasons. The other three teams are seasoned campaigners. Baxter needs its openers to get it away to a good start, with Dale Irving and Daniel Warwick obvious keys, along with Adrian Mack and Sam Wolsgrove. For POB, Dylan O’Malley, Jon Forrest, Adam Jones and Glenn Prendergast need to be at their best. Jedd Flack, Nick Jewell, Anthony Blackwell and A J King are the keys for the Sharks. The Doggies will rely on Rob Hearn and Ben Clements, along with Matt Foon and Luke Popov. The Doggies look the most potent, together with the Sharks. POB and Baxter have an even spread – the match will be a typical grind. In the final game of the season, Baxter beat Sorrento in the final over of the day. Sorrento batted first and made 146 from 40 overs, Blackwell getting 44 and Mark Dunball 26. Marc Uccello claimed 5/32 with the ball for Baxter. Baxter was cruising

chasing the Sorrento total until the middle order collapsed and it lost 4/28. It was then 9/142, five runs from victory. Irving saved the day with 47, Darren Uccello opened with 23 and Marc Uccello rounded off a great day with 23 batting at 10. Mt Eliza got the chocolates against Long Island. The Islanders batted first and scored 8/136, Justin Bridgeman top-scoring with 71 and Jason Bedford getting 41. In reply, Justin Grant ensured the Mounties got home, scoring 78. Heatherhill batted first against Mornington and scored an impressive 8/203 from 40 overs, Matty Meagher getting 66, Matt Bishop 39 and Steve O’Donnell 38. Glenn Wood claimed 3/71 for the Dogs, while Matt Foon and Jack Heseltine picked up two wickets each. In reply, the Dogs’ batsmen were bowled out 50 runs short. Foon topscored with 41 and Luke Harper hit 30 Daniel Woods did the job for Heatherhill with 3/18, while Meagher took 2/14. POB scored 5/137 in its 40 overs against Mt Martha before bowling

out the home side for 75 in 33.2 overs. Rye finished its season on a high with a win against Moorooduc. Corey Harris top-scored for the Demons in its total of 7/220, while Rhys Wynne was next best with 40. In reply, Moorooduc was restricted to 9/173, Wynne taking 5/38 from 10 overs. Controversy surrounds the Crib Point v Ballam Park match, although the result will have no impact on the final four, or Ballam Park’s pending relegation to District ranks. Crib Point tried everything to get an outright win against Ballam Park but fell short. The Knights won the toss and sent the Magpies in to bat. The Pies piled on 7/154 in 40 overs, Ricky Thompson again top-scoring with 35 and Brad Davidson getting 29. The Pies then rolled the Knights for 93 in 26.3 overs, Luke Herrington getting 4/31. Crib Point then sent Ballam Park back into bat but the Knights scored the required runs, finishing on 8/65 in 13 overs.

Baden Powell knocks out Parkers DISTRICT By IT Gully BADEN Powell will play Langwarrin in one of the MPCA District semifinals this weekend after it knocked Delacombe Park out of the race. In the other semi-final, Carrum play Somerville after they finished in second and third position on the ladder. There were plenty of scenarios that were possible coming into the final round with many teams in contention to make the finals, but the major interest was the result of the Baden Powell versus Delacombe Park match. Played at the home of Delacombe Park, the home side was hot favourite to win. It plays its ground well and is blessed with matchwinners. Its recent form has been the most consistent it has been for most of the season. There is no question that on its day, Delacombe Park was the most potent

team in the competition and the other four teams will be happy it will not be part of finals action. Baden Powell had to take the match up to the home side. The team batted first and scored a more than competitive 4/197 from 40 overs. It appeared to be just under par on the small Delacombe Park ground. In reply, the Braves’ bowlers stepped up to the crease. Nathan Rice snared four of the first five wickets, including Chris Glendinning, Nick Christides, Chris Brittain and Jon Guthrie. At one stage, the Parkers were 5/48. Ben Brittain top-scored with 39 and Shane Deal scored 22 to help the Parkers to 138. Hastings needed everything to go right for it to play finals. Unfortunately, against the Pines on Saturday, absolutely nothing went to plan. It batted first and was bowled out for 91, Scott Phillips top-scoring with 25. Ricky Ramsdale claimed four wickets for the Piners.

In reply, the Blues toiled hard to get Pines six down before the team passed the score with 14 overs to spare. Brett Remy top-scored with 37. Phillips claimed 5/25. Flinders finished the season on a high, knocking over Carrum, which finished second on the ladder. Flinders restricted the Lions to 7/149 from its 40 overs, Lou Gillies claiming 3/22. Timmy Clarke then belted an unbeaten 93 to help the Sharks to 6/152 with 10 balls to spare. Langwarrin was given something to chase against Frankston YCW, which batted first and scored 5/197. Skipper Mark Cooper has hit some form in recent matches and scored 64 while Jake Prosser belted 75, which included five fours and five sixes. The minor premiers got there with five overs to spare. Boneo finished the season on a high, getting the points against Main Ridge. Both looked capable of playing

finals at times during the season but neither could maintain enough consistency to be challengers. Boneo batted first and scored 9/205, Alex Petrovic top-scored with 79 from 67 balls (14 fours and one six) and Matty Rogers belting 43 from 48 deliveries (three fours and two sixes). Cam Williams then claimed 3/57 to help Boneo restrict the Ridge to 8/199. Gareth Wyatt scored 44, Jason Albress 40 and Brendan Rossborough 38. Somerville warmed up for its final quite nicely, beating Seaford four wickets down and with five overs to spare. The Eagles kept Seaford to 8/157 (Damien Lawrence top-scored with 47) before scoring 4/159 in a dominant performance.

Finals preview Carrum and Somerville met in the first two-day game of the season in October last year. Carrum limped to 152 in 74 overs, thanks largely to a

solo performance from Dean Polson, who scored 82. Craig Foster with 23 was the only other Lion to score more than 10. Aaron Kaddatz was the pick of the Somerville bowlers with 4/28, while Russell Wilkes and Sam Delaney claimed two wickets each. In reply, the Eagles team was cruising at 2/72, before crashing to be all out for 124. Ben Delaney topscored with 48. Keith Burdett was still getting into the swing of cricket again. Langwarrin met Baden Powell in round four at Lloyd Park. On that occasion, the Braves squad won the toss and batted and was dismissed for 108 in 63 overs. Andy Johnson claimed 4/30 for the Kangas, while Mal Coutts and Dwayne Doig each collected two wickets. Sam Mullavey top-scored with 19 for the Braves. In reply, Langwarrin scored 222 in 69.4 overs. Johnson scored 49, David Ross 39 and Simon McEvoy 31.

Seaford into finals as Tyabb goes down SUB DISTRICT By IT Gully TYABB has missed out on MPCA Sub-district finals after going down to Red Hill in a must-win game. Its percentage wasn’t good enough to compete with six of the top sides and in the end proved to be its downfall. Seaford Tigers was the beneficiary, sneaking into fourth place without playing a match. The Tigers had the bye and collected 12 points. Its percentage was good before the match. Rosebud limped into the finals and its poor form after Christmas was highlighted by its draw with cellar

dwellers Carrum Downs on Saturday. Balnarring stormed into the finals with an emphatic victory over Pearcedale. Balnarring finished on top of the table and will play the Tigers in the semi-final this weekend. In the other semi-final, Rosebud will tackle Red Hill in an all-southern peninsula match. Pearcedale had to beat Balnarring to get a place in the finals. It lost the toss and was given the new ball but could not restrict the minor premiers. Balnarring was on fire with the bat and scored 6/207, Michael Griese top-scoring with 53, Brenton Taylor opening with 52 and Luke Chapple,

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 6 March 2013

Tim Jessup and Mark Walles all getting runs. The Panthers’ batsmen were then restricted to 8/159 off 40 overs. Kaine Smith top-scored with 53 while Brad Trotter scored 35. Brad Arnold, Chapple and Taylor all claimed two wickets each for Balnarring. Red Hill batted first against Tyabb and smacked 5/216. Simon Dart scored an unbeaten 84, while Riley Shaw (37) and Owen McKillip (36) made good contributions. The Hillmen bowlers then did the job, bowling out the Yabbies in the second-last over. Luke Toy claimed 3/52 and Nick

Wood and Dart picked up two wickets. Luke Rus has had a sensational season for the Yabbies and top-scored again on Saturday with 50, while Nick Taranto compiled 43.

Finals preview

Balnarring and Seaford Tigers met in round 10 in what proved to be a one-sided match. The Tigers batted first and were rolled for just 88 in the 36th over. Brad Arnold was dominant for the visitors with 6/38, while Mitch Kleinig snared 3/21. Balnarring wasn’t great with the bat and was bowled out for 147 after being 3/90 at one stage. Taylor top-scored with 32 and Chris Murphy scored 29.

Corey Hand claimed 4/54 for the Tigers, and Dave James and Gavin Gardiner-Smith each picked up two wickets. Rosebud and Red Hill met in the final game before Christmas in round six. The Buds batted first and were well held to 158 from 74.1 overs. It was 3/21 before Leigh Parslow (30), Peter Doughty (22), Brian Doughty (20) and Scott Millar (22) resurrected the innings. Rosebud then tore through the Red Hill batsmen, dismissing them for just 63. Jason Nagel and Scott Millar bowled 18 overs each and picked up 5/33 and 5/26 respectively.

CHELSEA – MORDIALLOC NEWS scoreboard

Peninsula’s Jonathan Munz in the money BIG-SPENDING owner Jonathan Munz had a thoroughly deserved return on his investment when Ferlax won the $500,000 Group 1 Australian Guineas at Flemington. Over the past 15 or 20 years, Munz has put a lot of money into racing but has had only limited success. His enthusiasm was fired in the early days when he enjoyed feature race victories with the classy Show No Emotion, who won such races as the Ascot Vale Stakes, Angus Brut and A J Moir Stakes as well as a third behind General Nediym in the Group 1 Lightning Stakes. Other top-liners such as Above Deck, Molotov, Purple Groove, Rekindled Interest, Sharkbite and Gunnamatta – a winner of three consecutive Mornington Cups – have carried his white and red stripes and encouraged him to go in deeper. This led to him developing the Pinecliff training facility on Sunnyside Rd in Mt Eliza. In more recent times he has had Jim Conlan as his private trainer and this is paying dividends. Since winning the 2011 Group 2 Dato’tan Stakes under Conlan’s care, Rekindled Interest went on to finish third behind Pinker Pinker in the Cox Plate. Unfortunately Rekindled Interest failed to recapture that form this season but Ferlax’s performance in

the Guineas will have heartened Munz and Conlan. A winner of his three previous races, Ferlax went into the race a relative outsider but was brilliantly ridden by Stephen Baster. He was quickly into his stride and settled in third place on the rails before securing a run inside the pacemaker around the 300-metre mark. He went on to score in authoritative fashion from the promising filly You’re So Good with Sheer Talent third. The win has left Munz and Conlan with a dilemma of which feature race to tackle in the coming weeks. A logical progression would be Randwick Guineas (1600m) on Saturday week and then the Rosehill Guineas (2000m) on 30 March. The alternative program would be to keep the son of Pentire fresh for the All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on 27 April and the $1 million Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on 8 June. “I think we have a very good, very exciting horse,” Conlan said of Ferlax. “He is quite immature still and we don’t want to overtax him at this stage of his career as there are a lot of good races ahead of him. “He could even be a Cox Plate horse in the spring.” *** IMPORTED galloper Green Moon is poised to notch another major victory for leading owner Lloyd Williams when he runs in the $1 million Australian Cup at Flemington on

Mt Eliza winner: Ferlax with Stephen Baster on board takes the prestigious Australian Guineas at Flemington.

Saturday. At his only appearance since winning last year’s Melbourne Cup, Green Moon finished a pleasing third behind boom three-year-old All Too Hard in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 23 February. This effort will have primed him for his Australian Cup outing and he will appreciate the extra 600 metres as well racing on the spacious Flemington circuit. Interestingly, Green Moon won the Blamey Stakes (1600m) on the day last year and the ruling Melbourne Cup favourite Puissance De Lune is to resume in the event. The Blamey Stakes was Green Moon’s only start in the autumn and that is the plan with Puissance De Lune, a promising stayer. The entire, who is trained at Ballarat by Darren Weir, created a huge impression when bolting away with the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2500m) on the last day of the Melbourne Cup

carnival. After the event, three-time Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Glen Boss predicted Puissance De Lune could win the 2013 renewal. *** WITH Black Caviar remaining on the sidelines, her trainer Peter Moody will be relying on Moment of Change in the $1 million Newmarket Handicap (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday. The lightly raced four-year-old is a Group 1 winner and resumed with an encouraging second behind Black Caviar in the Lightning Stakes (1000m) on 16 February. This led to Moment of Change being elevated to favouritism for the Newmarket and while he is the horse to beat, a long-shot with legitimate claims is the Queenslander Spirit Of Boom. A Group 1 placed five-year-old, Spirit of Boom had an interrupted passage when resuming with a third to the speedy Mrs Onassis

in the Oakleigh Plate (1100m). He will be fitter for this outing, is very comfortable racing down the Flemington straight and is expected to be right in the finish. Others to take my eye as potential winners: Glows, Spartini, Sheila’s Star, Unchain My Heart, You’re So Good, Hvasstan, Bass Straight, Perturbo, Practiced, Dark Sun, Shilly Shally Miss, and Red Rain.
