Seniors taking flight GETTING to know the wildlife at Braeside Park is among the offerings of the Kingston Seniors Festival, running this month at venues throughout the city. Pictured with not-so-wildlife at the park visitor centre are ranger Glen Oliphant and Friends of Braeside Park members Beverley Bancroft, left, and Elsie Anderson. As part of the Seniors Festival, they will host a morning tea on Thursday, where the park’s collection of mounted specimens will be on show and there will be a short walk through the wetlands. For early risers, Beverley and Elsie will be back at the park for breakfast with the birds on Sunday 14 October. There will be a guided stroll greeting birds in the park from 7.30am, followed by a barbecue breakfast. Among about 200 events in the Kingston Seniors Festival are dances, lunches, fitness sessions, yoga, movies, flower shows, art classes, sports days, cultural events and day trips. Festival program booklets are available at Kingston customer service centres and libraries and at www. kingston.vic.gov.au/seniors Picture: Yanni

Big election field By Jo Winterbottom A LARGE field of 52 candidates will battle for nine seats on Kingston Council in next month’s local government elections. All sitting councillors have nominated for another four-year term on council, except Arthur Athanasopoulos, who is retiring after 12 years as a North Ward councillor.

Each of the city’s three wards is represented by three candidates and none of the eight councillors seeking re-election is guaranteed a seat. Central Ward has again attracted the most candidates; a total of 28 people have put up their hand for its three seats, currently held by Ron Browlees, Rosemary West and Lewis Dundas. Ten people will contest North Ward,

where at least one new face is guaranteed in the seat vacated by Cr Athanasopoulos, even if the incumbents, Paul Peulich and Steve Staikos, are re-elected. In South Ward there will be 14 names on the ballot, including councillors Dan Moloney, Trevor Shewan and John Ronke, who was mayor this year for the first time in his 17 years as

a councillor. Cr Athanasopoulos, who was first elected to Kingston Council in 2000, cited family and business reasons for his decision not to seek re-election. “I have a young family and a hectic working life and my children are getting to be teenagers now, so there is a lot of running around,� he said. “I really like doing the council work

and I do it with a great passion, but it’s hard to be in two places at once.� He said he would continue to be involved in various activities throughout Kingston as a resident and volunteer but warned that he would be keeping watch on the development of council’s green wedge plan, adopted at a council meeting in late August.

Boarding house move blocked By Jo Winterbottom PLANS for a 12-bed boarding house in a quiet Edithvale street of have been blocked by Kingston Council. In a move designed to stall the project until legislative changes come into effect next April, the council refused the application to transform a three-bedroom weatherboard house in Hazel Ave. Speaking after the meeting, Mayor John Ronke, who met with residents of Hazel Ave to hear their concerns, said the current legislation had loopholes that allowed “unintended consequences�. “I can’t believe the intention of the legislation is to allow that six strangers would sleep in a room together,� he said. Several residents of the tiny street off Elsie Gve attended the meeting last week. It was they who initially alerted councillors to the proposal, which had received initial approval to carry out internal modifications from council’s building department. Council sought legal advice to try and stymie the proposal and it was found that partitioning the house into more than 10 rooms would require a town planning permit, thus allowing officers to bring the matter before a council meeting. In a report to the meeting, Kingston’s team leader of environmental health Dusan Ivanic said the council had “no legal grounds� to refuse the registration of the boarding house if it complied with regulations of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act. “As the proposed rooming house has five habitable rooms and the owner...

has indicated that no partitions are to be installed so as to exceed the 10 habitable room threshold, the use of the site for the purposes of a rooming house capable of housing up to 12 people does not require a planning permit,� his report said. “There is no allowance within the Act for objection or appeal from affected residents,� he added. Although the property was not yet being used as a boarding house, at a site inspection by council officers “it was found to comply with the size of rooms and provision of other amenities�. Mr Ivanic warned councillors that if they refused the registration, the applicant could appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

“An appeal by the applicant would succeed and council may be subject to costs,� he said. But councillors did not heed his advice and voted to refuse the registration on the grounds that it was an inappropriate use of the site and “there would be an adverse impact on the amenity of the community�. They also directed council officers to seek legal advice on how to prevent the property being used as a rooming house. Cr Ronke said it was hoped new rooming house standards being introduced by Consumer Affairs in April would scuttle the 12-bed proposal. It was unclear how many residents would be allowed under the new regulations, but it would be less than 12, he said.

Super shortfall to be funded by long service By Jo Winterbottom KINGSTON Council will draw on funds set aside for long service leave payments to pay its share of a $453 million shortfall in a Victorian municipal superannuation fund. The council has opted to pay the bulk of its $10.4 million share this month to gain a $400,000 early payment discount. The $6.9 million will come from cash reserves made available due to changes in regulations governing municipal long service leave reserves. A further $500,000 will come from superannuation allowance in the cur-

rent budget and, taking into account the $400,000 early payment discount, the balance of $2.6 million, to be paid by 1 July next year, would be included in council’s 2013-14 budget. Until this year, local governments were required to keep a dedicated cash reserve equal to the long service leave owed to staff. In a report to councillors, Kingston general manager of corporate service Paul Franklin said it was now assumed councils could meet their long service leave obligations out of general operating accounts and the 2012 regulations no longer required cash reserves

to be set aside. “The change in regulation has meant a one-off, once only release of $6.9 million of cash from restricted to unrestricted,” he said. Although there would be a saving for early payment of the debt, the interest foregone on the $6.9 million would amount to $200,000. Mr Franklin said it was the fourth time council had been required to make additional contributions to the defined benefits plan of the Local Authorities Superannuation Fund, administered by Vision Super. Municipalities were required to

make up the shortfall when the benefits due to employees exceeded the market value of the assets of the fund. “Since 1997 the total amount of calls on Kingston has totalled approximately $26 million,” he said. The generous defined benefits scheme closed to new members in 1993 and 71 of its approximately 5000 members are current or former Kingston employees. Kingston CEO John Nevins said the continuing poor performance of the Vision Super fund was “a serious issue facing all local governments in Victoria”. The general downturn in global

share markets during the global financial crisis was “a contributing factor”, but not the complete answer to the underperforming fund. “You have got to question the management of the investment strategy of the fund,” he said. Mayor John Ronke said calls to meet the repeated shortfalls had “virtually crippled” local government in Victoria. “This is completely unsustainable; we can’t keep on getting calls of this type because the fund is underperforming,” he said.

Recognition for company that trained to succeed WHILE many companies laid off staff and pulled back on spending, a family company based in Dingley has responded to the GFC by tripling sales and staff numbers and investing in training for its staff. ADM Systems has been judged Victorian Small Employer of the Year in the state training awards. A supplier of industrial equipment and nuclear technology, ADM was

founded in 1986 by Glenn Bates. The company was based in Seaford, then Mordialloc before moving to Dingley about five years ago. A huge expansion of the company’s workforce over the past five years led to the need for training, said Mr Bates. With six of the company’s 14 employees aged in their 60s, for some it meant returning to formal study for the first time in decades.

Enter Kristen Brown, Mr Bates’ daughter. She studied environmental management and worked in public relations before joining the family company five years ago after the birth of her first child. Ms Brown brought with her a strong belief in the benefit of study and training, tempered by a solid respect for the experience of her fellow workers.

“I wanted to make some changes to the business but I didn’t want to force my ideas on the staff,” she said. “I knew they could do it, but I had to make them feel comfortable enough to give it a go.” A graduation party was held last week for workers who received certificates in business administration and wholesale operations. Fore some it was their first qualification.

Training was done on site at ADM by a registered training organisation and most employees were able to complete “homework” on work time. “It’s made such a difference,” said Ms Brown. “Now we are eagerly discussing what we are going to do next.” ADM goes into the running for national awards, to be decided in November.

Bullying claims

Proudly donning her Western Bulldogs pyjamas, Matilda got into the spirit of footy day at the school holiday program at Bonbeach Primary School on Friday. She is pictured with Amy, left, and Elizabeth. Holiday program activities to keep children busy and happy over the two-week break have included cinema outings, cooking and indoor games. A highlight this week will be exploring at Rickett’s Point marine sanctuary on Thursday. Picture: Yanni

EVERYONE is talking but there is precious little information to be had about a bullying investigation at Kingston Council. “I can neither confirm or deny,” was the answer given by Kingston CEO John Nevins when asked at last week’s council meeting if there was a bullying investigation underway. Geoff Gledhill, a council election candidate in central ward, had asked: “Can the CEO confirm the rumour that up to three councillors are the subject of bullying allegations involving a council officer?” Mr Nevins replied it was “not council policy to comment publicly on whether it is investigating bullying”. Mayor John Ronke was not able to shed any light on the matter when contacted by The News. “I can neither confirm nor deny there is an investigation,” was all he said. Mr Gledhill said he had heard of an investigation from “people in the street”, but he said he did not know which councillors may be accused of bullying. “If I said all the names that have been suggested to me it would cover everyone on the council,” he said yesterday. “I’ve asked as many people [at the council] as I can, but I just keep getting funny looks.” Mr Gledhill, a resident of Parkdale and a member of the Liberal Party, said he had written to Mr Nevins seeking further information. “I would hate to think that we would go to a council election and then something would happen after the election which would put the results in doubt,” he said.

Snapper season is silly season for the Hogans By Jo Winterbottom TREVOR and Lynette Hogan are bracing for the silly season a bit earlier than most. As operators of the Launchingway boat ramps on Patterson River, their silly season begins right about now, when adult snapper start coming into Port Phillip for the summer breeding season. “Now that the footy’s over, most guys are just itching to get out on the water,� Mr Hogan said. “From now on, any time the wind drops we’ll be flat out.� With four boat ramps on Patterson River, Launchingway is one of the busiest launch sites on Port Phillip. Armed with walkie-talkies and working round the clock when conditions in the bay are right, the Hogans and their 10 staff and extra volunteers can launch up to 500 boats on a busy day. “It can be a logistical nightmare at 2am in the morning,� Mr Hogan said. Not that he is complaining. The couple have just signed a new fiveyear lease at Launchingway, after facing eviction earlier this year when the state government threatened to automate the facility. They have operated the boat ramp for 18 years. Mr Hogan said November was the “hottest� month for snapper catches and the time when anglers targeted large adults – “big reds� – that entered the bay in large numbers to spawn. The official season runs from now until May, but good catches had continued throughout the winter this year. “You do catch snapper in winter, but not in the numbers we’ve been getting

this winter,� he said. A snapper fishery forecast by Department of Primary Industries fisheries officers, based on the number of baby snapper that settle in Port Phillip each year, predicts smaller catches in coming seasons. “The forecast for snapper fishing in Port Phillip is for the recent exceptional catches to moderate over the next three years,� the report reads. It said snapper spawned in Port

Phillip were the mainstay of Victoria’s western snapper stock, which extends from Wilson’s Promontory to about the Murray River mouth in South Australia, and includes Port Phillip and Western Port. Mr Hogan said changes to snapper bag limits had helped protect Port Phillip populations and the conditions for marine life had “improved dramatically� since channel deepening dredging had stopped. The bag limit

for snapper is a total of 10 per person, including a maximum of three fish 40cm or longer. The minimum size for snapper is 27cm. Anglers were also reporting good catches of whiting, squid, gar fish and slimy mackerel, though Port Phillip’s other iconic fish, the flathead, was becoming rare, said Mr Hogan. He speculated that increasing numbers of the introduced pest, the Pacific seastar, were having a

devastating effect on flathead numbers. A highlight for the Hogans and their team is the annual Mates Day during which about 80 boat owners offer the launches for a day of fishing for disabled people who cannot usually get out on the water. Mates Day 2012 is on Sunday 21 October and boaties interested in volunteering can contact Lynette Hogan on 9772 5777 or 0427 310 614.

TAFE struggles to cope with cuts – MP By Keith Platt and Fran Henke AS managers at Chisholm TAFE struggle to deal with a $20 million budget cut, the Opposition is attacking the state government’s inability to stop secret documents being leaked. The state’s “transition” plans for TAFEs across the state, including slashing funding by $290 million, were revealed last week after a report was leaked to the ABC. The revelations are embarrassing for Education Minister Martin Dixon, who is also the MP for Nepean on the southern peninsula. Eastern Victoria Region MP Johan Scheffer has “demanded” Mr Dixon restore TAFE funding. Meanwhile, Chisholm has already announced plans to cut 220 staff by the end of 2012, but says there are no plans to close its campuses at Frankston, Rosebud, Cranbourne, Dandenong, Berwick, Wonthaggi or Melbourne. Courses likely to be dropped or only provided if paid in full by students include business administration and legal services, sport and fitness, food and meat processing, marketing, liberal arts, ceramics and areas of hospitality and events. “Mr Dixon has not stood up even once to express the outrage felt right across the peninsula over these savage cuts, which are seriously affecting so many local residents, and it’s about time he did,” Mr Scheffer said. “This explosive set of documents reveals exactly what the impact of the Baillieu government’s cuts will mean for Chisholm TAFE and each TAFE campus across the state. Chisholm

TAFE is looking at cutting 251 fulltime equivalent staff, raising tuition fees by 70 per cent and merging with Advance TAFE or GippsTAFE.” Mr Scheffer said Premier Ted Baillieu had ignored repeated demands by the community to release the transitions plans to allow students and staff to plan for the future. “The premier claimed the plans were cabinet-in-confidence documents to prevent the damaging contents going public,” Mr Scheffer said. “Mr Baillieu didn’t want these documents to be made public and now we know why – TAFE in Victoria will not be the same again.” Chisholm CEO Maria Peters in May estimated next year’s budget cuts being “at least $25.5 million … on top of a loss of $4 million in funding from the state government last October”. Ms Peters said further analysis had shown Chisholm would lose at least a further $8.5 million as a result of the changes to the funding of courses. “There is no doubt that at Chisholm we will work and fight as hard as we can to find solutions and move this great institute forward with confidence to a positive and successful future,” she said. Last week Ms Peters said Chisholm would have a “heightened commercial focus, enhance engagement with industry partners, university and school partners, alumni and the broader community”. “I see the business transition plan as an opportunity for us. We had recognised the need for change and embarked on a major transformation pro-

Each was handed the photocopy of a piece of something bigger and asked to paint it exactly but in their own style. There were no clues, it wasn’t a well-known picture, they couldn’t guess the result. Two months later the work is hanging in the stairwell of Building C. Inspiration was Karl Briullov’s The Last Day of Pompeii, a large canvas painted by the Russian artist in 1830-33. Pictured are some of the student artists with visual arts coordinator Nathan Fitzgerald and teacher Jon Hatfield, very happy with the consequences of collaboration.

gram of our people, our culture and our systems some time ago. “The government reform, however, means we have had to expedite this and will have to make significant change to our educational programs, operations and business operations to ensure our ongoing success. This will be a challenge, but one I am confident Chisholm can achieve.” Chisholm Frankston has announced

the cuts will not affect its courses in visual arts. “We were sure we’d survive,” arts program coordinator Nathan Fitzgerald said. “We have quality courses and currently have the highest intake of students ever.” Cuts to TAFE colleges, including the historic Ballarat Arts School, which has been teaching art since 1870,

leaves Frankston offering one of the few remaining visual arts diplomas as well as an advanced diploma of creative product development. Chisholm Frankston is one of few campuses remaining with full printmaking facilities. “The public perception has been that we’re closing,” Mr Fitzgerald said. “I am delighted to say, we are not.”

Dog blamed for seagull deaths By Keith Platt A SMALL terrier is being blamed for the deaths of up to 60 seagulls at a nesting site in Frankston. Wildlife carer Peter Berbee said this was the explanation given by officers from the Department of Primary Industries after seeing some of the dead birds. “They were all young gulls that could not fly away to escape the dog,” said Mr Berbee, a member of AWARE (Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Education). “However, this doesn't explain where the adults that have been roosting and nesting at that site have disappeared to – it would be very strange and unlikely for the adults to abandon the site. “An estimated 100 adult gulls have disappeared and this is not normal behaviour. “We don’t believe any animal deserves to die like this and these defenceless young chicks would have died in fear and pain.” The dead birds were found at a property in Playne St. Mr Berbee said the manager of the property had permits to “take nests, eggs and humanely kill chicks”. “Basically, a chick is anything that can’t get away from you,” he said. “It is not illegal to leave the dead bodies.” The deaths of the seagulls follow a report in The Frankston Times that outlined the problems seagulls were causing in Frankston and the suffering some control measures were causing. The humane treatment of seagulls will be addressed by wildlife rescuer

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 2 October 2012

Mumpreneur: Author Nicky Johnston has won an award for doing the job she likes, which also makes a difference to others.

Anxiety works out for author ONE of the most pleasing things for Nicky Johnston is the knowledge that her business helps young people cope with the stresses and pressures of life. Her ideas put down to help her son Bayley deal with anxiety have been published and proved both a business success and an ongoing source of reassurance that she is helping others. This month the Langwarrin mother of four won the Making A Difference Award in the AusMumpreneur National Business Awards. Johnston’s first book Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! has been adapted for the stage by Frankston Arts Centre and tours schools in Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula and elsewhere in the state. That first book and its sequel Happythoughts are Everywhere are widely used by families, schools, kindergartens and mental health professionals throughout Australia. Johnston, who self-publishes under the Happy Hero banner, has become a regular speaker at

conferences, workshops and schools. “I am thrilled with winning this award, because it demonstrates that even those who choose to work in an area outside the norm can be acknowledged as a trail blazer,” she said. Johnston has also developed resource kits for parents and teachers and promotes awareness of mental health issues in young children. With her books that are filled with simple words and detailed illustrations, she shows children that by changing their thoughts they can change their feelings. “I try to teach my children that by giving a part of themselves that doesn’t seem like much to them, actually makes the world of difference to somebody else,” Johnston said. “Don’t ever underestimate the kindness that you can give to somebody, because it does make a difference.” For more information on the AusMumpreneur Awards visit www.connect2mums.com.au Keith Platt

Big field for council election

Place in the sun up for auction ROLL up, roll up for your place in the sun – a new beach box built by Rotary Club of Frankston Sunrise in conjunction with Frankston Council is being auctioned at 2.30pm on Saturday 13 October. Expected to sell for between $80,000 and $100,000, the proceeds

will go to Frankston Community Fund and Rotary community projects. The box is close to Allawah Ave at the Mile Bridge end of the beach. It has been built on the site of an old concrete beach box, which was ordered to be demolished by the council in 2009 after the owner

refused to repair it. The auction is for a licence as boxes are on Crown land. The auction is being conducted by Ray White Real Estate. Details: Ash Weston, 9781 2111 or raywhitefrankston.com.au Picture: Yanni

Continued from Page 1 A resident of Kingston’s green wedge, Cr Athanasopoulos has long campaigned for the area to be cleaned up and rid of “inappropriate activities” such as mining and materials recycling facilities. “I think we have put a good plan in place,” he said. The 52 Kingston hopefuls include at least two candidates endorsed by the Greens. Other candidates may be members of a political party but they are not required to declare any affiliations.

FEATURE PROPERTY

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Make a splash WITH all the luxury of a Miami Beach mansion, with water frontage and sandy beaches included, this incredible home takes opulence to another level. Positioned along the main estuary leading into Patterson Lakes and surrounded by quality estates, this spacious home has been designed so that all living zones, both indoors and out, can benefit from the nautical atmosphere that enhances the lifestyle aspects of the property. Although the Melbourne weather can often remind us of less tropical climates, the resort-style pool area will be the destination of choice when the warmer weather does arrive. Discreetly surrounded by glass balustrades for safety, the salt-chlorinated, solar-heated pool has an adjoining sundeck where you can relax after a run along the sandy shoreline. As one would expect, the interior presents in immaculate condition and the abundance of living space across both levels is impressive. From the formal entry there is a separate home office to the right that adjoins with a bedroom to create private guest quarters with a bathroom across the hall. The spacious open-plan family area alone would rival some houses for size but in there is also a wonderful, fully enclosed “outdoor room” with servery window from the modern kitchen. For formal occasions there is a large dining area and you can have pre-dinner drinks in the trendy lounge room that has a full-length bar. The four bedrooms upstairs all have a distinct and refreshing decor with vibrant splashes of colour mixed in with relaxing earthy tones. The stunning master bedroom has his and hers walk-in robes, ensuite, parents retreat and a beautiful, private balcony. The remaining bedrooms share the third bathroom and a childrens’ retreat, which is at the top of the stairs.

Everything old is new again Sunsets from the verandah EXTENSIVELY renovated, this two-bedroom home still retains much of the charm and character of its vintage but now has an appealing and modern makeover. Making full use of the versatility that is popular with homes of this era, new rooms have been created whilst others have been extended. A great example is the master bedroom, which at some point would have been the living room. Complete with polished floor boards and big windows, another nice touch are the bookshelves that have been fitted into the space where an open fire place once was. An extension at the back of the home has increased the living space to now include a dining room and outside is an extensive paved area for entertaining. There is a full bathroom and laundry, with a second toilet. This picture perfect home is on a low-maintenance 400-square metre block about 600 metres from the beach. There is a single carport adjoining the home and a separate garden shed for storage.

Address: 51 Fraser Avenue, EDITHVALE Price: $460,000 - $490,000 Agency: Harcourts, 463 Nepean Highway, Chelsea, 9772 7077 Agent: Mike Joy, 0421 063 771

THIS very cute weatherboard cottage has been completely restored and now has a modern design with a touch of old world elegance. Most rooms have a pleasant outlook to the gardens and adding to the appeal is a wood heater and polished floor boards to the lounge room. Occupying one side of the home is the kitchen and dining area. Highlighted by gleaming tiled floors, the kitchen has plenty of overhead and under-bench cupboard space, rangehood and a dishwasher. There are three cosy bedrooms, all with built-in robes and the main bedroom has an ensuite. A single garage, with internal access, could double as a teenager’s retreat. Positioned close to restaurants, cafes and shops, this is a wonderful proposition for those looking to downsize and enjoy the Carrum lifestyle.

AROUND THE REGION

Planning changes will be ‘disastrous’ OPINION By Ranald Macdonald and David Gill “Giving in to vested interests is not planning.” Letter to the editor writer Don Macrae of Warrandyte in The Age, 11/09/12 PLANNING changes promoted by the Baillieu government for Victoria are the recipe for an unmitigated disaster for urban and city dwellers alike. Our green wedges will be despoiled, urban boundaries threatened, national parks and reserves handed over to the whims of private enterprise, and the appealing and productive Mornington Peninsula – with its towns and villages of special character and charm – will be turned over to developers. All of these changes are being introduced by Planning Minister Matthew Guy without discussion, and in the name of competition and benefits to the economy. When a government tells you that the medicine it has suddenly prescribed will “create certainty”, “promote economic development”, “assist tourism” and “help farmers” while “removing unnecessary planning restrictions”, wise heads would say: “I didn’t know the state of planning was so badly in need of change. Let us analyse what you are doing with such haste and assess the likely results.” In simple terms, the Victorian government has decided on the advice of special interests, a commitment to “economic rationalism” and without policy discussion to change planning throughout our state. And quickly, although the government says an independent panel will sift through submissions. The green wedges will be affected by the right to build on them, rural Victoria will never be the same again and individuals will have little opportunity to prevent, or even question, inappropriate development in our towns and villages – and even in our jealously guarded national parks and reserves. There should be revolution or, at the very least, public anger and concern. Journalists, commentators and citizens should be asking questions. But, to date – and public comment closes on Friday 21 September – spin has won out so far with the government saying tourism will be better off with private development in our tourist areas so we can be more competitive, farmers will do better without the need for planning approvals, business will spend more if it can do much of what it likes in our communities, and the green wedges can absorb service stations, schools, places of entertainment and dense accommodation. So we will all be happier with more investment – whatever it does to the appeal of the Mornington Peninsula, for example, where a strategy plan had been promised – and the new “one shoe fits all” approach will simplify planning throughout the state. But:

 The proposed zonings aim to increase the number of “as of right” commercial uses with no rights of appeal when a large development is plonked next to or near residents. This includes no right of 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 noises 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 zonings allow out-of-centre retail development, particularly along main roads.  We will also have ad hoc development stretching out along main roads and ruining the approaches to beautiful towns and villages.  Industrial zones and business and commercial zones are to be mixed together, creating mayhem for smaller shopping centres and unlucky residents next to a new, free-standing large supermarket or hardware-type store.  In the rural zones – including farming and green wedges – all existing limits on tourismbased developments will be removed, with no new strategy to protect us from overdevelopment. This includes the effects on existing businesses, which will be devalued.  A function centre or large-scale accommodation on that quiet country lane? No limits will apply. Build as many as you like as it’s good for tourism and the economy.  The proposals will allow multiple excisions into small farms. We will have houses dotted over every view on the Mornington Peninsula.  Tourists and visitors from the city love our country roads, the space and the tranquillity, but will they keep coming when we look like just another suburb because of overdevelopment?  According to estimates by tourism authorities, peninsula tourism contributes $850 million a year (Mornington Peninsula Shire planners estimate closer to $2 billion a year, depending on how you calculate the figures), while agricultural production gives a $600 million annual boost to the economy.  Former prohibited uses in the countryside and its 40-hectare limit on land able to be subdivided and developed are to be lifted, with service stations, medical centres, schools and all forms of accommodation allowable. Final point: Victoria’s rural landscape, once devalued, will never return. This is the thing about planning – development can never be returned to the past. Development – good and bad – is forever.  Ranald Macdonald is a member of Flinders Community Association and a former managing director of The Age. David Gill is a former Shire of Mornington shire president, a member of the Western Port Regional Planning Council and chairman of planning for the shire. An edited version of this article was published in The Age on Saturday 15 September.

... and other short stories

Postcards from the road less travelled By Stuart McCullough THE road to hell is paved with good intentions. Why Beelzebub hasn’t made the switch to bitumen is, quite frankly, anybody’s guess. I’ve no idea what kind road surface you get from “good intentions”; whether they play merry havoc with the suspension or offer a superior driving experience, I simply couldn’t say. Then there is the matter of the road less travelled. Sometimes such a road is less travelled for good reason, such as a lack of quality paving (there are, after all, only so many “good intentions” to go around) or a faulty GPS. But I can’t blame either of these. For me, the road less travelled is precisely that because of the brutal combination of being risk averse and lazy. Indeed, when it comes to the road less travelled, no one is less travelled than I. Rather than finding myself buoyed by the notion of adventure or the thrill of the unknown, I prefer to carve a path and stick to it with a steely determination that defies not only common sense, but gravity itself. What it lacks in surprise it more than makes up for with certainty. Some roads should not be traversed, some questions are best left unasked and there are invitations that should never be accepted. There is no better example of this than my response to computer error messages. From time to time, I am confronted with a screen that slips from glacially slow to a state of suspended animation. After several hours, I will abandon waiting and seek to hurry things along, thereby prompting a message from the computer. This mes-

sage invariably tells me that the program is “not responding”. Although my grasp of matters technological can fairly be described as “limited”, this much I will have already figured out for myself. It’s either a statement of the crushingly obvious pitched directly at those who, at time of issue, are halfway through plunging a screwdriver into the keyboard hoping to pry the machine open and fix the problem with string or, alternatively, it is simply rubbing your nose in it. The message then offers you the option of sending an “error report” to a major computer firm. As a matter of reflex, I have consistently declined this invitation. There are a variety of reasons for such reluctance.

In the early days, I harboured a lingering doubt as to the origins of the software I was using. I didn’t want to send an error report only for the door to be kicked down within minutes and to watch the IT system administrator being led away in handcuffs, no doubt to be dragged off to an interrogation by a bunch of nerds before being carted to an information technology gulag where your hard drive is forever crashing. But even once I was confident that my software was legitimate, my reluctance to complain continued. As much as anything, I didn’t want to be a bother. I would hate to dispatch an error message without a second thought, never realising that I have just reduced a team of software engineers to tears. I imagine that they sit together in a

large room in front of a gigantic monitor ¬– a monument built in the shadow of the Y2K crisis that never was – fingers crossed that computers all across the world will manage to operate without collapsing into a steaming, chaotic heap. I imagine that it looks like the kind of venue NASA uses to track shuttle launches. After a careless push of a button, the giant screen will turn red and a siren will sound. Hands will leap to heads as dozens of people begin to scurry in panic at the news that my computer is crashing… Perhaps I’m kidding myself. Chances are my error message will sit along with millions of others on a computer somewhere, waiting for future generations to discover it and ask why, why indeed, did my computer see fit to fall

flat on its face one Monday morning as I tried to check the weather. It’s a question that will remain unanswered. But roads only remain untravelled until the day you decide to take a detour. And when it comes to detours, it’s rarely too late. Only yesterday I was sitting at my computer when it froze. Having first tried to restore things myself by way of verbal encouragement that soon descended into a series of threats, I decided to send an error report. As I clicked the mouse, the computer instantly stopped shaking and all went quiet. That, so I thought, was that. The next thing I heard was the sound of the helicopter. The sun was blacked out and the building began to shake. Through my window, I watched as the first of the elite IT consultants slid down a rope. Heavily armed (they were a shade overweight), they demanded that I step slowly away from the keyboard. A spotlight shone down on my laptop as one of them – with magnifying glass spectacles and a gold-edged pen protector – stepped forward. He was, I suspect, their leader. The room fell into a hush and the man leaned forward. Had anyone been so careless as to drop a pin, we would surely have heard it. “Yep,” said the IT consultant, “it’s definitely not responding.” Sometimes the road less travelled leads to some glorious destination, with untold riches and reward. But, more often, it is just another dead end. From now on, I’ll be sticking to my routine. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance THE Mornington Peninsula boasts some great musical talent including the likes of Johnny Chester, Lachlan Bryan, Adam Dunning, James Reyne – and up and coming country singer Jillian Lampkin, who has released her debut EP Just for Tonight. Lampkin (pictured) grew up on the ocean beach side of Rye. “Our family home was so close to the surf beaches I could hear the waves crashing but none of us were into surfing, least of all me,” she said. By the time she started high school Lampkin had done six years of guitar lessons and five as a member of the Australian Youth Choir. She then decided to have private vocals lessons with Peter Ellis Music and began entering the country music section of the Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod, which was her introduction to country music. “Singing with the Davidson brothers at Tamworth in 2010 was a real highlight and I met some incredible people, some of whom are featured on my debut EP,” she said. “The artists I’ve met through country music have made me passionate about it.” Growing up Lampkin was a big John Farnham fan and listened to her parents play Cold Chisel, Fleetwood Mac, Tina Arena and Rod Stewart. “My biggest country influence was Johnny Cash. The way his personal tragedies comes through his songs is really inspiring. I have fallen in love with his music over the past few years and have recorded Folsom Prison Blues as my tribute to him.” Lampkin also has caught the bluegrass bug and hopes to bring this influence to her next album. She enjoys listening to Lady Antebellum and Kristy

Cox. Lampkin recorded her EP at studios in Pearcedale earlier this year. It has four tracks – Folsom Prison Blues, Bonnie Raitt’s Just For Tonight and two of her own songs, Ghosts and Just for Tonight. She recruited some talented players for the recording including Mark D’Rosario, considered to be one of the best country guitarists in Australia, Lachlan Davidson on mandolin, Josh Verco on double bass, Jason Eastwood on rhythm guitar, Louis Henry on drums and backing vocals by Jaimee Lampkin. The EP was produced by Billy Irvin with graphic design by Hamish Davidson and photography by Karen Henderson. Lampkin will be playing at the Bay Hotel in Mornington in coming weeks and will launch her EP on the peninsula. She will be in Tamworth in January to promote the EP and is writing new material for her debut album to be

By Gary Turner such as Fingerprints, Now, and Thank You Mr Churchill along with a nod to his past with the old Humble Pie track I Don’t Need No Doctor. Frampton is one of rock’s most iconic guitarists and the live performances catch him at his best. Filmed in high definition, it has more than three hours and is Frampton’s first video release since Live in Detroit in 2000. The video contains the classic hits Baby, I Love Your Way, Do You Feel Like We Do and Show Me the Way. www.shock.com.au

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Dining out can be just a click away

E-booking: James Eling is directing diners to their tables with a new click and book interactive website.

By Keith Platt LIFE is a numbers game for James Eling. Whether it is writing computer code for programs or advising clients on how to attract customers, Eling is working out the maths. Right now, he’s figuring out how best to get bums on seats in restaurants. How many seats, how many bums and how often. Eling’s company, Seaford-based Extreme Networks, offers clients the full IT service, from installation to 24-hour support. But lately, restaurants have been consuming a lot of his time. His interest has not necessarily been influenced by the popularity of the television-fed fascination in all things cooking, although it may be feeding the reasons for his entering this new realm. “We’ve developed a system that builds revenue for restaurants, cafes and take-always,” Eling says. “We can provide very good websites very quickly. Something that would have cost thousands of dollars, is now $450.” Part of the packaged site includes connections to social media such as Twitter, Facebook, SMS and email that in turn means transmission to smart phones and iPads. The best part, according to Eling, is his company’s ability to “optimise search engine results”. “You Google restaurants of a particular type or location, and up it pops.” The product devised by Eling is called Marketing 4 Restaurants. Once up and running, restaurant owners can update and change their site’s content and readily monitor traffic. Customers’ birthdays can be preprogrammed, so that specials or simply ‘happy birthday’ can be sent on the appropriate day. “It fits with our underlying philosophy of being able to solve the problems of small business,” Eling says. “A lot of clients are looking for a website that’s not costing an arm and a leg. We kicked this idea around for about two years and it’s now structured so they can do their marketing in about half an hour a month. “It’s simple and quick and there are a few addons so that within 60 seconds they can Tweet or Facebook the day’s specials at the same time.” Eling plans for Marketing 4 Restaurants to “go global” and already has one client up and running in New Zealand. Earlier this year he was part of a group of Aus-

tralians on a government-sponsored trip to Silicon Valley in California run by Advance, a non-profit organisation that encourages innovative businesspeople in Australia and overseas. “They’re experts who help Australian businesses build businesses abroad. We don’t need to be overseas to operate but it was good to find out what it would be like to have another office, meet successful Australian entrepreneurs and maybe find a venture capitalist.” Eling says Marketing 4 Restaurants has 50 clients and he wants to see this rise to 1000 “as quickly as possible”. He says “slicing and dicing big data” is the best way of reaching target clients. A graphic example of the effectiveness of this type of data investigation occurred in the United States when a large department store was asked by a father not to contact his 15-year-old daughter. The store had steered a sales campaign at women in the first trimester of their pregnancy identified through items bought on their credit cards. The hope was to interest them in other items as the pregnancy progressed. The store apologised to the father who later “came back to say she had been 16 weeks’ pregnant”. “Fifty per cent of traffic to restaurants arrives through search engines and people who don’t have a website are missing out. Only five per cent of restaurants are optimised for smart phones,” Eling says. “No one is doing what we do and the model can eassily be carried to other types of businesses such as mechanics and hairdressers.” A graphic example of the effectiveness of Marketing 4 Restaurants came when Eling uploaded a dummy site to show potential customers what they could expect for their money. Despite it carrying the message that it was inactive and “Melbourne’s best burgers” Rooster Burgers, did not exist, a woman called to ask the exact location as she was armed with orders from her co-workers. Rooster Burgers now comes with even more explicit disclaimers, but at least Eling can confidently tell and show clients that the model works.

HISTORY

Chelsea Primary School days begin By Ron and Margaret Jacobs THERE was an attendance of 70 people at the monthly meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association in July 1911, when it was agreed to appoint a deputation to meet the Minister of Education, Sir Alexander Peacock, to support the movement of having a school established at Chelsea. The deputation, comprising Messrs Keast MLA, Towler and Thompson, MesdamesWiliams and Williamson, presented a map of Chelsea indicating the names, ages and residences of all school-age and pre-school-age children in the Chelsea area, as evidence of the immediate and ongoing need of a school in Chelsea. The nearest schools were at Mordialloc, Carrum and East Carrum. On 27 January 1912, the Chelsea State School No.3729 opened in Hoadley’s Hall, Main Road, Chelsea (456-8 Nepean Highway in current terminology). The hall had been brought from a Melbourne exhibition site by its owner MrHoadley, a Melbourne confectioner, to this property he owned. Because of its oriental appearance, the hall was quickly dubbed “The Joss House” by the locals.

On opening day, it was estimated that 33 children would attend, but 75 children were enrolled, and it was under great difficulties, as there were still no desks available. Some of the parents’ occupations were recorded as: hatter, pianoforte tuner, miller, chauffeur, gold refiner, cellarman, orchadist, costumiere. Miss Mary West was appointed Teacher in Charge, followed by Miss Ursula Ruedi, until the first permanent Head Teacher, Mr George Hunter Rogers, took charge in September 1912, and remained until his retirement in 1930. In February, the Progress Association formed the first citizens school committee. In March 1912, sites for a proposed new school were inspected and one was recommended to the Department. A public meeting was held on 19 July, at which Twenty Pounds was

subscribed towards the purchase of a 3-acre site. “On 30 September, the Department purchased 2 acres with an extended option of a third acre. On 14 December of that year, a Christmas Tree and Fair in aid of the school funds realised the sum of Twenty-three Pounds, Six Shillings, and eleven-pence-halfpenny. The school attendance had then reached 135, and in January 1913 another public meeting was held, with a view of asking for a proper school building. Sixty juniors were then being taught outside, under the ti-tree, and partly on a private property. The sanitary conditions were most unsatisfactory. Because of the increased attendances, the nearby Congressional Church’s Bannerman Hall was being used for supplementary accommodation.” In March 1913, a deputation waited

on the Minister for Education, Sir Alexander Peacock, who promised to visit the school. The deputation pointed out that: the hall was draughty there were no lavatories no provision for hats and coats nowhere to have lunches no fireplaces on the main road traffic was heavy, and as there was no playground, children played on the road  when the hall was let for social events, school requisites were stolen there are now 150 pupils, 60 being taught outside  there are also 69 children in the district aged between 3 and 6 years Furthermore, the deputation pointed out that if the Department built a school for 1,200 Pounds on the land it had already purchased, the interest at 3% would be less than the annual rent of Forty Pounds paid for the hall.

The Minister visited the school in April, and after inspection, promised a new school “forthwith”. In May 1914, tenders were called for, and Messrs Gay and Pickering secured a contract for building a school for 1,645 Pounds. This is an extract from a history of Chelsea State School No.3729 booklet compiled by the Chelsea & District Historical Society for the school’s centenary. Chelsea Primary School’s centenary celebrations will be held at the school on Friday 19 October. The full booklet can be purchased for $5 on the day at Chelsea Primacy School. Contact Jacqueline Russell at the school on 9773 2055 or email chelsea.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au for further information.

Pull on the whites, cricket’s back CRICKET By IT Gully THE line markings haven’t even faded from football grounds, but players of a different sporting code take to the field for round 1 this Saturday. It’s cricket season. Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association matches in Provincial, District and Sub-district competitions begin with one-day games. There are high expectations for a super season in the three divisions, given the talent that has come into the competition as well as expected increase in media coverage. The “Cricket Rumours” Facebook page has been a constant source of amusement and information, while Radio Port Phillip will broadcast a Saturday morning show and live broadcast on Saturday afternoons on 98.7 and 98.3 FM. The success of the live broadcasts will depend largely on the quality of information coming from other grounds. Former Victorian championship player Nick Jewell is undoubtedly the biggest name to enter the MPCA this season. Jewell joins Sorrento as captain-coach in Provincial. Arguably Frankston-Peninsula’s best-ever player, Darren Groves, returns to Rye in Provincial grade, while fellow Premier Cricket player Simon Dart has landed at Red Hill in

Sub-district grade to try and help the club take the next step. Mt Eliza earned the right to enter Provincial after winning the District pennant last season, while Hastings was controversially relegated after breaching the player points policy. Pines enters District cricket after dominating Sub-district last season and Balnarring surprisingly was relegated. In Sub-district, French Island makes its way into the top grade after playing generally as an A1 side. This creates a bye in Sub-district, but makes the competition a lot more interesting. Following are ladder from last season in each of the divisions as well as some of the movements made during the off-season. Provincial grade is expected to be again dominated by Baxter, Sorrento and Peninsula Old Boys. You can throw a blanket over at least six clubs in District that are more than capable of playing finals. There will be nothing in this grade. In Sub-district, Red Hill will be better than any other team by the length of the Flemington straight.

Provincial Grade

Baxter – In 2012-13, the club again will be the yardstick of the competition. The reigning premiers don’t appear to have lost anyone, and there is talk Jedd Sutton is back. A real

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 2 October 2012

positive for Baxter is Adrian Mack has had a full pre-season and is the fittest for many seasons. Sorrento – Nick Jewell landing at the Sharks as captain-coach has been the big story in the off-season. Former Wally Wedgewood medal winner Ryan O’Connor has been in Sydney for the past 12 months and the opening quick returns. The Sharks will be highly competitive and there is plenty of talk Jewell will not lose his wicket this season. Peninsula Old Boys – The Pirates were disappointing last season, considering the additions they had from the season before. Keeperbatsman Trevor Johnson has landed from Hastings, which raises the question whether he or Wade Pelzer will be the keeper. Long Island – The Islanders have some good news and some bad news heading into the season. Andrew Tweedle is back from Ferntree Gully as captain-coach and is a great addition. Michael Burke is looking for a bit of R&R after a big year in cricket and a league medal in footy to follow this up. Burke is expected to miss the first four games. The Islanders have lost David Maxfield to Queensland. Moorooduc – Expect plenty of runs from the batting machine Bobby Wilson. Wilson has been playing nonstop cricket for the past 18 months and was recently named in the Northern Territory team of the year. The Ducs don’t seem to have added many players to their list. Mornington – Luke Popov will take the reins again at the Dogs. Mornington blooded a lot of talented kids last season and they will be better for another pre-season. Expect the team to be more competitive and improve on its four wins. Crib Point – Brad Rossborough has moved to Main Ridge, which leaves a hole. It also means old stagers in Luke Herrington and his brother Warren, along with Barclay and Davidson, will be relied on to win. There was some talk Brad Watson had made a shift to Hastings. Mt Martha – The Reds have lost star quick Rhys Whitling, who has moved up the line due to work and will play in the Dandenong District Cricket Association. Mt Martha has an big crop of exciting kids, led by Jordan Pommeroy, who should be even better this season. Heatherhill – Matty Meagher takes the reins again as coach of the Hills. They were trying to entice Baxter’s Jedd Sutton but failed. It may be another lean season for the club. Rye – The Demons didn’t have the season expected in 2011-12. There has been plenty of talk there are a number of British players who have made the trek Down Under. The obvious massive inclusion is Darren Groves. We hear he is playing as a batsman only, but no one believes the all-time record holder for wickets at Frankston-Peninsula will not roll the arm over at some stage. There is talk Andrew Hitchener has returned from Rosebud. Ballam Park – Matty Roach is in charge, but the Knights, despite being cashed up and prepared to throw some of it around, have not announced any big-name recruits. Might be another tough year for the club after losing outright on five occasions last season.

Eye on the ball: Matt Foy facing in a 20 - 20 fundraiser match played recently at Hastings. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Mt Eliza – The Mounties will be better than expected in this grade. They have been capable at this level for years but just haven’t been able to get there. Lyle House in is charge, Justin Grant and Tim Strickland are at the peak of their games, Matt Travena is back after playing two seasons overseas, and the club has recruited batsman Adam Mikkelson from Bentleigh. Chris McDonough is a loss with the new ball.

District Grade

Langwarrin – The Kangaroos have played in the past two District grand finals, but lost them both, to Hastings and Mt Eliza. The Kangas have picked up captain-coach Mark Cooper as well as off-spinner Dwayne Doig. Mal Coutts is assistant coach and Andy Johsnon vice-captain. Last season’s captain Nathan Volpe has left to captain Seaford. Carrum – The Lions will be very hard to beat. They have arguably the best young players in the game in Dobson, Hulett and Fry. Shawn Foster returns after a stint playing First XI cricket at Casey. He is a run machine and will be hard to stop. Delacombe Park – The Parkers were disappointing last season with just two wins, but the return of Chris Brittain to his home club, along with Simon Dignan, will make them more competitive. There is a whisper Joel Guthrie is coming back to play. Boneo – Leigh Lowry is the new leader at Boneo, which wasn’t far away last season. Leigh is a local boy who went on to become a top order bat

at Frankston. The only negative is talk that Leigh Janssen is looking to play Premier Cricket. Pines – The Piners will go with the tried and true side that played in a grand final two seasons ago and won it last season. Brett Remy is ready to go again, but Paul Bradley is expected to have a late start to the season. Star youngster Billy Humphrey will try his luck at Frankston-Peninsula. Somerville – Keith Burdett has crossed from Mt Eliza after playing a year in the lower grades and is expected to have an impact in the First XI. Brad Denny has left the Eagles after one season to play in the West Gippsland competition. Seaford – Nathan Volpe joins the Tigers from Langwarrin as captain. The club also has secured Hastings player Josh Trevitt, who will likely open the batting. Exciting teenager Damien Lawrence is expected to play a full season. Main Ridge – The Cougars have appointed Brad Rossborough as captain after he crossed from Crib Point. Michael Holmes is coach. Brent Jones didn’t play last year due to a shoulder injury, but is expected to return and open the bowling. Baden Powell – Adam Landry is back after five seasons. Anjula Perera returns from Sri Lanka and Josh Waldron will play for the Braves after Christmas after being at Frankston last season. Flinders – The big loss for the Sharks is Simon Parrott, who is out for the season with a knee injury. Tuck will play the full year.

CHELSEA – MORDIALLOC NEWS scoreboard Frankston YCW – New ground, new administration, new coach: things are looking up for the Stonecats after a couple of tough years. They should be better after losing outright twice last season. Hastings – The Blues are back in District after breaching the player points system and Darren Kerr has left to captain Rosebud. Trevor Johnson has moved to POB, Josh Trevitt to Seaford and Danny Helybutt to Rosebud, but the club has retained Scott Phillips, who is super fit, has reportedly picked up Brad Watson from Crib Point.

Sub-district Grade

Red Hill – The big story in the offseason was the signing of star Premier Cricket batsman Simon Dart. He may not lose his wicket this season after carving out a reputation at the top level. Word is Dart wants to dominate and he will. He isn’t the only recruit and the Hillmen will be hard to beat this season. Rosebud – The Buds appear to be the only side to at least challenge Red Hill. Darren Kerr is captain after crossing from Hastings. Jason Nagel remains

coach. Andrew Hitchener may have returned to Rye, and Danny Helybutt has joined Kerr in moving from Hastings and will be keeper. Pearcedale – The Panthers underwent the most exhaustive process to recruit a coach and players during the offseason, but couldn’t land anyone. Kaine Smith is still in charge and there is talk Aidan Bock has returned. The Panthers forfeited in their Second XI at least twice last season. Skye – Jason Hartigan has been appointed coach. Skye will be a young side this season, but can challenge for third or fourth position, the only spare spots in the top bracket. Seaford Tigers – Craig McIndoe is coach and was still looking to land a big fish before the season started. Corey Hand won the league medal last year and the team also has Warren Junkeer from Carrum. The big fish might come from the Lions. Carrum Downs – There was plenty of talk in the off-season the Cougars might lose Chamara Perera, but he has stayed, a good result for the club.

Tootgarook – Once again, everything this year will centre around young gun Matt Whelan. There is plenty of optimism for the Tooters this season as the club celebrates 50 years. Tyabb – Luke Rus is captain and club legend Greg Burch is the new coach, having been captain-coach of the team in 1986-87. The Yabbies were hoping to recruit some of the Cranbourne connection from the football club to slip on the whites. Dromana – The difference between the good and the bad at Dromana last season was significant. Consistency and consolidation are the keys for the Hoppers. Balnarring – Relegated from District cricket, the club will be looking at some of its talented 16- and 17-year-olds to have an impact and gain valuable First XI experience. The club has been able to hang on to the squad from last season. French Island – There has been a call for years to have French Island move from A1 to Sub-district. The Islanders will be competitive and have a winning culture.

Bombers make a Proud appointment FOOTBALL By Toe Punt PENINSULA Division team of the year full-back Duncan Proud is the new coach of Frankston Bombers. The Bombers made the appointment last Thursday after interviewing a number of candidates. It is understood assistant coach Brad Wakeling and Mornington’s Barry Smeeton also applied for the job and were interviewed. Proud, who has been vice-captain at Karingal for a number of seasons, has never coached, but this didn’t deter Frankston Bombers president Chris “Batty” Sharman. “We went through an exhaustive process and I was very happy with the due dilgence we carried out to ensure we got the right person for the coaching job,” Sharman said.

“Duncan presented extremely well and we were very impressed with his interview. We spoke with a number of people to obtain their thoughts and it all pointed in the direction to get him on board. “There is obviously going to be some talk about the fact he’s never coached, but everyone starts their coaching career at some point.” Sharman said Tony Blackford [the Bombers’ previous coach] hadn’t coached senior footy when he went to Berwick and “he is a three-time premiership coach at three clubs”. “We have a wonderful leadership group at the club and we are keen to attract some off-field assistance for Duncan.” He said the club was excited about the appointment and very confident it could continue to improve next season. Karingal president Daniel Watts said

By Tony Murrell AN ambitious campaign is underway to revitalise Frankston’s community spirit and secure the future of the city’s VFL team Frankston Dolphins. A group of business people under the banner of Proudly Frankston will officially launch the community-wide push at a lunch on 25 October. The comprehensive plan includes development of a 500-seat entertainment centre at Frankston Park, plus youth and community programs. Concept plans for the new entertainment centre, to be built above the existing social rooms and fronting Plowman Place, will be unveiled and explained at the lunch at Frankston Park. Frankston Council, the state government, AFL Victoria and the Dolphins’ management are supporting the development. Proudly Frankston campaign leader Alan Wickes said the social centre is seen as a way of securing the club financially, guaranteeing that VFL football not only survives, but thrives, in Frankston. The Dolphins are the only original stand alone club in the competition, playing against such AFL legends as Collingwood, Geelong and Essendon. Proudly Frankston includes businessmen and educators, some of whom

are former Dolphin coaches and players, who are winning support from Frankston Business Chamber, service clubs, sporting clubs and schools for an agenda of social inclusiveness. “The new social centre will be iconic, a magnet for large community events and a source of community pride for Frankston residents,” Mr Wickes said. “We want its development to be a catalyst for far-reaching community initiatives involving groups and organisations that have already offered their support. “Our plan is to showcase Frankston’s wonderful assets and help launch programs that promote leadership and employment,” said the former Frankston coach and longtime Frankston businessman. “We will work and network with – and support in any way we can – any organisation in the city that promotes participation in sport and communitybuilding activities, particularly those encouraging involvement by young people. “We want to touch every part of this great bayside community.” Mr Wickes said Proudly Frankston, an initiative of the Dolphins, had a vision to use sport as “a way of tackling key community issues such as lifelong learning, healthy lifestyles and social inclusion”.

he was disappointed to lose Proud, “but Karingal Football Club sends him to Bombers with our best wishes”.

Tigers on the prowl DROMANA is ready to announce key signings in coming weeks. Coach Gavin Artico called me last week and said “get your pen ready; we’ll have some news in the coming weeks”.

Jewell to Rosebud FORMER Sorrento key forward Nick Jewell is the new coach at Rosebud. Jewell, who spent time on Richmond’s list, coached Heatherton last season and was keen to get the Rosebud job. He was a very interested onlooker during Rosebud’s finals series. Jewell beat a number of applicants, including sacked Frankston Bombers’

coach Tony Blackford. Jewell, a former star Victorian batsman, is captaincoach of Sorrento this season and still holds a part-time coaching role at Frankston-Peninsula, where he was head coach for a number of seasons. Jewell will be an exceptional coach at Rosebud in season 2013.

Sharks not Green THERE are still plenty of rumours about former Melbourne captain Brad Green coaching Sorrento next season. Green is keen to coach and there is talk Greater Western Sydney Giants was considering him for a role in Sydney. The powerbrokers at Sorrento like to have a big name at the helm to ensure the club maintains its high profile in the peninsula footy market. It’s worked for the club – it gets 100 people at $80 a head at nine

home games each season. A club spokesperson said no formal meetings had been held with Green. The spokeperson said the club would look no further than Nick Claringbold if it decided to go for a non-playing coach.

Kangas on the move LANGWARRIN is expecting former Hawthorn player and Box Hill star Beau Muston to play with the club in 2013. Muston played a couple of games for the Kangas this season. Meanwhile, Shane Urbans was a popular winner of the club’s best and fairest award. He played all his junior games at Langwarrin before heading to Pearcedale, where he is a life member. He returned to Langwarrin to finish his career and there is no sign of him slowing down.

Dolphins out to revive city’s spirit

Proudly Frankston: Leading the charge to revive Frankston’s and the Dolphoins fortunes are, from left, Kevin Johnson, Alan Wickes and Ken Jungwirth.

The plan is wide-ranging and still evolving, said Wickes, who in early September became facilitator of Frankston District Junior Football League’s Youth Leadership Program. The three-stage program targeting 13, 14 and 15-year-olds is based on international research that identifies teenagers as effective role models and teachers, too. “Our campaign must, in the end, engage the next generation of young peo-

ple and help guide them in their personal development,” said Wickes, who is also a past president of Frankston’s junior football league. Proudly Frankston is already working with Greater Frankston Business Chamber and service clubs. “We are building relationships and partnerships through networking with groups committed to a better Frankston. “As much as possible we will sup-

port small and medium businesses which are the major investors and employers in our community,” Tickets for the noon lunch on 25 October are $165 and include a threecourse meal, Mornington Peninsula wines and entertainment by Frankston High School’s best young musicians.

Catch and release the way to go ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro AS the world has become more environmentally aware, so have anglers. The days of catching and killing are gone and now responsible fishing is the accepted practice. With the world becoming increasingly aware of fish stocks, it’s in anglers’ best interests to keep fishing responsibly. Line fishing both commercially and recreationally is the most environmentally friendly and sustainable form of fishing. From a conservation point, line fishing has less by catch and is more size and species specific than any other form of fishing. In recent years, catch and release fishing has become more popular among recreational anglers. Anglers should understand the mechanics behind this style of fishing to practice it best. There is a long-standing argument over what hooks are best for catch and release. Originally, stainless hooks were preferred as many scientists (not fishermen) saw the discarded hooks as types of piercings, however this view has changed and although chemically sharpened hooks dissolve within the fish, this is seen as a far better situation than a permanent obstruction hindering the fish. Hook style also makes a difference when you’re catch and

release fishing. The preferred hooks should be barbless or circle style. Barbless hooks are easier to remove, but the circle hook is a little more complex. They are a design that came from longlining. The hook is designed to secure the fish in the corner of the mouth, reducing the chance of gut hooking. No matter the hook used, if a fish is gut hooked, the line should be cut as close to the hook as possible. You should never try and wrench a hook out of a fish destined for release.

Note that if a fish is looking ill or bleeding heavily, then it may be better to humanly kill it and not let it go to waste. The next major consideration when catch and release fishing is line class. There is no point practising catch and release if you fight the fish for an extended period of time. Fish are easily stressed and after a long struggle are further susceptible to a build-up of lactic acid. There is no point releasing a fish if it’s only going to sink to the sea floor to be snaffled by a predator or float back up to the

surface to die. If you want to practice sound catch and release, then fish appropriate line classes to avoid long drawn-out battles. Fish destined for release should where possible not be removed from the water. If you need to remove the fish from its watery lair, take care to not remove any of the fish’s “slime”. The slime is the fish’s protective barrier. Also, if you want a quick happy snap, make sure you support the entire body of the fish and handle it with wet hands, gloves or towels. Never keep the fish out of water for longer than absolutely required. Tip of the week: When you use circle hooks, a fast strike hook set should be avoided and a more controlled lifting of the rod employed. This gives the hook a greater chance of setting in the corner of the mouth, making for an easy and clean release. What’s biting Squid: In Port Phillip the saying “Go south young man” rings true. Good catches of squid are occurring from Rye to Queenscliff. The best results are on jigs. Match the day with your jig colour – bright day, bright jig. Dull day, dull jig. In Western Port the top end from Warneet to Hastings including Tyabb and Quail banks continues to produce good numbers. Results have been a bit mixed further south with

Flinders very hit and miss at the moment. Landlocked fishers can try Portsea, Blairgowrie and Sorrento piers. Whiting: Catches have been good in southern Port Phillip with some cracker hauls. The schools thin out the further you work up the peninsula and by the time you get to Mornington only a few mediocre catches have been reported. Western Port is another story with great catches from Hastings to Warneet. Gummy sharks: Catches are starting to become more common and are in reasonable numbers throughout Western Port. Places worth a try are West Head, Cowes, Hastings and Eagle Rock. Garfish: The gars have been quiet the past few weeks but I spotted a very large school in Mornington harbour toward Red Bluff. They will only increase in numbers over the next few weeks. Snapper: The reds are still hit and miss in Port Phillip. Water temperature is still quite low and all depends on the mood of the fish. For example, two weeks ago we had a day with more than 40 snapper landed. Last week we had only two or three fish boated all week. Most anglers are going over the fish; try water depths of 8-14 metres at night and 15-18m during the day. In Western Port there were good catches from Hastings/

Lysaghts and Eagle Rock. Best time was on the outgoing tide and with more than 50 per cent of our boat hirers landing snapper during this period. Flathead: There have been some great flatties in both Mornington and Yaringa with some catches exceeding 30cm plus fish. Best results are in 6-12 metres of water. Tight lines and calm seas.

Loss of McCarthy touched many in football world By Paul Kennedy TOWARD the end of each footy season, coaches and senior players can often be heard saying “this group of guys might not ever play together again”. The death of John McCarthy reminds us how true those words can be. It also reveals just how big, yet small, the Mornington Peninsula football community is. There wouldn’t be many MPNFL clubs who weren’t touched by his tragic death in some way. At the Dolphins, we have players who went to school with John, played in the Stingrays with him, faced him as an opponent at Collingwood and, of course, there are former Dolphins

who played with or against him at club level. I’m sure it’s similar around the MPNFL. Some people have said this event makes football seem unimportant, but for me it reveals its true place. Sure, we all like to win games, win premierships and have good individual seasons, but the real enjoyment of footy comes from the people we do it with – the banter in the change rooms, seeing your mates put their bodies on the line to help the team, and the times celebrating or commiserating a season. The huge sense of loss felt by both teammates and opponents after a tragedy like this tells us clearly it is the human side of footy that impacts us most.

By Peter Ellis THE international thoroughbreds are expected to dominate the Caulfield and Melbourne cups, but among the Australian hopefuls are Bianmick and Dame Claire. Bianmick, prepared at Pakenham by Michael Brady, showed he could be a legitimate chance in the Caulfield Cup by winning the JRA Cup (2040m) at Moonee Valley last Friday night. It is a race that has been won by topliners El Segundo (2005), Maldivian (2007) and Alcopop (2009), so Bianmick joined some illustrious company. Veteran jockey Darren Gauci, who speared Bianmick to the front 800 metres from home, was impressed with the performance. “Although he has raced right through the winter, he has just kept stepping up to the mark,” Gauci said. “He took off a fair way from home and it was a lot earlier than I wanted, but he showed great courage to find the line. “Over the next few weeks he will be going up in class, but he will give them something to worry about if he strikes a wet track.” Dame Claire, who like Bianmick was a last-start winner, also is making her way through the ranks. In the Mornington stable of Pat Carey, who excels with stayers, Dame Claire showed her stamina by winning the $120,000 Ansett Classic over 2400 metres at Mornington on Saturday. “The win qualified her for the Melbourne Cup and at this stage we are keeping the dream alive for the owners,” Carey said. “If she doesn’t come through the way we hope, there is always the Lavazza over 2800m for second grade stayer on Melbourne Cup day, so one way or another we will be there. “Even though she is only small, it is in her favour as she has great stamina and a will to win, a great asset over 3200m.” Mick Price’s unbeaten Fastnet Rock gelding Callanish will be among the favourites for the $200,000 Cranbourne Cup on Sunday 14 October. After Callanish scored his seventh successive win at Caulfield on Sunday, trainer Price said the fouryear-old’s next outing would be in the Cranbourne feature. A bold going type who had won his six previous outings on rain-affected tracks, he displayed a distinct liking for firm ground when he demolished his rivals over 1700 metres. “He’s done a big job already, but deserves a shot at the Cranbourne Cup because of the way he won,” Price said. While Callanish was most impressive, the run of the day came

from the Cranbourne-trained Morant. Trained by Damien Williams, the brother of champion jockey Craig Williams, Morant settled at the tail of the field after jumping from a wide gate. The former West Australian flashed home in the straight, running his final 400 metres in 23.27 seconds to finish a close third to Sydney mare Miss Marx over 1200m. The way he performed, Morant will be very hard to beat when he steps out in a $120,000 handicap at Caulfield on Wednesday 17 October. In the same race, Amah Rock, who was a heavily backed favourite, had a chequered passage. Although he only finished seventh, Amah Rock was desperately unlucky and will appreciate stepping up to 1400m. The $150,000 Moonga Stakes at Caulfield on 20 October would be an ideal target. The performance of Queensland six-year-old Solzhenitsyn in finishing third in the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes was a sign of better results. A winner of 10 races, Solzhenitsyn, who is in the Brisbane stable of Robert Heathcote, was having his first run in Melbourne and his effort showed he would be even better at 1600 metres. Three-year-old filly Love For Ransom, who was a brilliant winner at Moonee Valley at her previous outing, was disappointing when ninth over 1400m at the meeting. However, it may well pay to disregard the failure. Love For Ransom, who came from last to first at Moonee Valley, was always among the tailenders when wide at Caulfield. When she tried to unleash a burst, Love For Ransom found it impossible to make ground on a track favouring frontrunners and those racing near the rail. Shocked trainer Greg Eurell said he would still press ahead and run her in the $500,000 Thousand Guineas at Caulfield on 17 October.

I only met John briefly, introduced by his mate Ryan Cook after a VFL game against the Magpies. But it was pretty clear from this encounter, the times I played against him and the stories I heard from those who knew him well that he exemplified the things that make football clubs what they are. In 2002, my then teammates from Sturt were in the Sari Club in Bali when the bombs went off. Teammate Josh Deegan and long-time property steward and former club champion Bob Marshall lost their lives. Many others brought home physical and mental scars that lasted for years, some still battle the memories today. My former team, Sandringham, was also in Bali at the time and the strug-

gles of Jake Ryan after the bombings were played out very publicly. In 2004, my former teammate Troy Broadbridge died in the horrific Asian tsunami. Troy was the sort of guy you just wanted to be around because he was so genuine. He made you laugh just by looking at him. He wasn’t the most talented player, but there’d have been mutiny at Sturt if he didn’t make the list. Seeing Bob Marshall’s wife of 40plus years, Val, cling hysterically to his hearse as it slowly drove off Unley Oval is the saddest, most gut-wrenching thing I have ever seen. Yet at the same time, seeing the grandstands of the ground packed with people farewelling Bob and remem-

bering their great relationships with him was an uplifting moment. Footy allows us to meet and form bonds with characters like John, Josh, Troy and Bob that we probably wouldn’t otherwise get to do. We get to play against great footballers and blokes from other clubs, admire their skill and determination, and challenge ourselves to better them on the day, then shake their hands and have a chat afterwards. Once the season is done, enjoy the great times with teammates that make all the year’s work worthwhile. But look after each other, too. If your team is never going to play together again, make sure it’s through choice and not tragedy.

Keeping the cups dream alive

Emerging talent: Top, Bianmick romps away from his rivals in the JRA Cup at Moonee Valley last Friday evening. Above, Trainer Michael Brady and jockey Darren Gauci. Top left, Trainer Pat Carey. Pictures: Slickpix While Love For Ransom was in the spotlight, the Zabeel filly La Zuma snuck under the radar in the race. In the care of Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Mike Moroney, La Zuma raced handily and battled on solidly to the line, indicating she will appreciate racing over longer distances. After his scintillating victory in the Bill Stutt Stakes at Moonee Valley, Gai Waterhouse’s star Pierro seems to have a mortgage on the Caulfield Guineas. His main rival Epaulette, who had

finished only a head behind Pierro in Sydney, did not enhance his guineas prospects with a battling win in the 1400 metres Prelude. In a few more strides the Leon Corstens-trained Awesome Bro, who rattled home, would have pressed the short-priced favourite and is sure to be about the place on Saturday week. Others to catch my eye were Generalife, Off And Laughing, Cheviot Beach, Obsidian Dragon, Thangodyou’rehere, Ironstein, Innocent Lady, Simply Put, Big Chill,

McClintock and Saint Desir. Best: Morant.  International form expert Peter Ellis provides weekly racing tips online at the Tatts website.

“It’s been my privilege to have known David for a number of years now. His intellect and quest for honest, fair and progressive practices will make him an ideal candidate for the Kingston City Council.� - Andy Tyas - Capricorn Driving School Local resident and small business owner

“David is an outstanding young man: very hardworking and dedicated, with exceptional time-management skills.

A common sense approach: - Crack down on council perks; e.g., “educational trips�, allowances, and spending sprees - functions / junkets. - Review council tenders. How can a public toilet cost $290,000 when a new home costs less? (2011/12 Kingston City Council Budget)

- Hold regular community meetings and mobile offices (listening posts). - Investigate the building and planning departments to ensure transparency and fairness... - Increase lighting in shopping areas and CCTV in crime hot spots. - Advocate for tough new measures on binge drinking and public drunkenness. - I will be totally committed to supporting a council policy of zero tolerance towards all un-authorised graffiti. - I shall work to ensure transparency of council business. In particular, I shall oppose secretive 'in-camera’ motions, which prevent disclosure to ratepayers of Council discussions and decisions.
