Creek murder link

By Jo Winterbottom A WHEELIE bin containing the remains of a murdered Camberwell man was the subject of a police search of Mordialloc Creek.

Homicide detectives believe the body of Adam Troy Williams was placed in the wheelie bin, which was then left in scrub by the creek side in early January.

However they have been unable to locate the bin and have appealed for information from anyone who may have

seen a bin by the creek near the railway line at any time from 2 January to the end of April, when they believe it was removed.

Five men have been charged over the alleged murder. A man from Harvey Bay in Queensland, a man from Echuca and a man from Melbourne’s eastern suburbs have been charged with the murder of Mr Williams, while two others – a man from Werribee and one from the eastern suburbs – have been charged with being an accessory to murder.

Detective Sergeant Graham Hamilton of the homicide squad said police would allege Mr Williams, 30, was murdered after a “dispute that got out of hand� on 30 December last year. He was last seen around 29 December at his home in Burke Road.

Word about the “body in the bin� began circulating around Mordialloc last month when homicide detectives were spied investigating a wheelie bin pulled from the creek by a dredge near Attenborough Park.

A creek search and an information caravan set up in Attenborough Park has yielded little new intelligence and he urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The three men charged with murder were remanded to appear in the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court on 20 December. The two charged with accessory to murder were bailed to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, also on 20 December.

The News put in calls to Moorabbin crime investigation unit but was told there was “nothing in those rumours� and it remained a mystery until the homicide squad put out a call for information.

The bin pulled from the creek last month was not the one police were looking for. Detective Sergeant Hamilton said the bin allegedly used to conceal Mr William’s body was a City of Port Phillip green wheelie bin with a yellow top.

Parks’ inaction baffles boat owners

By Jo Winterbottom INCREASINGLY frequent and bigger swells entering Mordialloc Creek are wrecking boats and infrastructure according to a Mordialloc Creek action group.

Some boat owners feared they may be refused insurance if the problem is not solved soon, said Mordialloc Creek Community convener Garry Spencer.

The group, a coalition of community, business and boating interests, has called for new concrete baffles at the mouth of the creek to reduce the size and strength of swells moving down the creek. The existing wooden baffles were so eroded and eaten by woodworm they were no longer effective. In addition, the frequency, size and ferocity of swells entering Mordialloc Creek had increased in the past three years.

But Parks Victoria, the authority responsible for Mordialloc pier and the first 30 metres of Mordialloc Creek, said it would be “several years” before the baffles were replaced.

“The baffles are ageing and have been impacted by woodworm, however they are still expected to last for several years,” a Parks spokesman said.

Mr Spencer said the 300 craft moored at Mordialloc were especially vulnerable during prevailing south-westerly and westerly winds in the area.

“Boats have been badly damaged and this will continue until the wave baffles are restored to a condition where they are effective in taking energy out of the intensifying strong swells from the south west and west.”

Yachty Eric Clark said his boat Delta Lady had suffered $28,500 worth of

damage in three separate incidents in the past two years.

“Our insurance policy has gone up by more than $1000 and we have been advised that if we have another claim caused by Mordialloc Creek then the insurance company will cease to insure all vessels moored in Mordialloc Creek,” Mr Clark said.

By Jo Winterbottom CHELSEA SES has been named the best unit in the Victorian SES central region.

The awards recognise the Chelsea unit’s exemplary efforts in operational, community and public relations activities.

At the awards evening in July several Chelsea members were recognised for long service, including Daniel Alpel, who has chalked up 20 years in the service, a milestone Chelsea unit controller Ron Fitch will also reach later this year.

Chelsea SES police and media liaison officer Phil Wall said the unit was “very proud” of the prize, which recognised its service to state and national events, on top of its excellent record in

responding to local incidents.

“Every SES has fantastic members, but we think we have a pretty special crew,” he said.

Chelsea had provided a crew to every significant event in Victoria in the past 18 months and members had attended major national incidents such as Cyclone Yasi and huge floods in Queensland and Victoria.

“Our members clocked up 5000 volunteer hours service on top of our work responding to local incidents,” Mr Wall said.

“This is in addition to training, fund raising events and public relations activities.”

The unit has 45 operational members, about half of whom are women, including several in leadership roles.

Much of its work is responding to

But the Parks spokesperson said the creek was “naturally exposed to waves”.

“Wave baffles only reduce the impacts of waves, not stop them, and it is the responsibility of boat owners to ensure their boats are moored safely and securely,” he said.

The department would conduct wave

ment of timber training walls designed to stop boats running onto rocks at the creek entrance.

Mr Spencer said: “Mordialloc Creek is the only safe harbour between Sandringham and Martha Cove for small craft in all weather conditions and wind directions, so it has a key role to play in boating safety on the bay.”

modelling “ahead of a longer term plan to replace the baffles”, estimated to cost more than $1 million.

The baffles, each about 40cm wide, jut out from the creek banks at regular intervals and are designed to take the brunt of waves entering the creek, breaking them up and dissipating some of their energy.

MCC has also called for the replace-

Prize recognition for Chelsea SES storm events - removing trees fallen on roads and securing storm damaged properties - protecting police crime scenes and search and rescue efforts.

“It’s always varied and you never know where it’s going to come from,” said Mr Wall, a long-time SES member who was central region volunteer of the year in 2010.

It came from the skies on Christmas Day last year, when Chelsea unit members turned out to assist when violent storms across Melbourne upset many a festive lunch. Several members were kept busy over the holiday period, turning out several times through to New Year.

There was much more to the SES work than mopping up after storms, said Mr Wall. Chelsea SES had two crews at an emergency relief centre in Whittlesea

Saturday fires, I was so thrilled to be there [at the Whittlesea centre] because at least I could do something to help,” he said.

“It’s a nice thing to feel you are a part of something and everyone you ask will say they get a lot more out of it than they put in.”

A self-professed “sticky beak”, Mr Wall said he was motivated by a desire to help others and have a meaningful role in the community.

“If I find myself in trouble, I’d like to think somebody would help me, so, with that in mind, I can’t really sit back and do nothing.”

Peer support and debriefing procedures were crucial in helping members cope with the magnitude of the disaster, which came shortly after the unit had found the body of a 4-year-old girl who had gone missing on Mordialloc beach.

“That was a really tough night,” remembered Mr Wall.

“As a management group we are very aware of watching out for each other and looking after new recruits is very important.”

Attendance at train line suicides could be painful, but the rewards of helping others in need were considerable.

AFTER being criticised by Cr Paul Peulich and the mayor Cr John Ronke at almost every council meeting this year, it is galling to see the mayor quoted as saying I am â&#x20AC;&#x153;as much to blame as anyone elseâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Unruly councillors in conflictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News, 04/09/12).

Anyone who has attended council meetings would realise who is copping what I believe to be very unfair treatment.

The criticism seems designed to distract me from pursuing the case that Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green wedge ought to have been protected in its entirety, which it might have been had the project manager not been encouraged by some councillors to have the final draft plan modified to excise from the green wedge a strip of 11 properties along Springvale Rd. These properties, which extend from the Waterways corner to the southern boundary of the Mentone Grammar playing fields, are now recommended for rezoning for urban development.

Whereas all other mayors in my nine years on council have firmly stopped unruly behaviour in the chamber, and have rebuked interjections from the gallery, at the meeting that approved the green wedge plan, angry landholders were able to shout abuse at me for most of the several hours of debate. They included people from one of the properties to be rezoned out of the green wedge. This will increase the value of their land, but it may not be so good for the residents of this strip as it will increase their rates proportionally.

In my view it is a mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to maintain a civil order at council meetings and I moved for the adoption of an extra code of conduct provision to remove doubt

In Limbo: The future of Pompeiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing in Mordialloc is in doubt, with Kingston Council considering calling for expressions of interest in the strip.

about a mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powers in this regard.

One of the reasons I voted for Cr Ronke to be mayor was that I knew he had the personal strength to curb the personal abuse of councillors but, unfortunately, I do not think he adequately uses this strength.

Cr Rosemary West â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Edithvale

Pompei stoush

I, like many others, was disgusted at Kingston Council contemplating not allowing the Pompeis to renew their leases at Pompeiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landing. (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Battle looms over legendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News, 04/09/12).

Boat owners from all over Australia have, at sometime, used the services of Pompeiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be more to this.

Is it not bad enough that the rates rise each year to well over the CPI, but here is a perfect example that the council is after more money? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in it for us? Rates up and services still as bad as ever.

El Ninoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;likelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spring return

By Mike Hast WEATHER forecasters say the chances of Australia returning to drier conditions are likely with the El Nino weather pattern set to re-form in October.

El Nino was responsible for 14 years of drought in many parts of the nation including the southeast corner. The drought broke in the autumn and winter of 2010 and many parts of Australia have had good rains during the past two years.

Alex Zadnik of Weatherzone.com told Radio Port Phillipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environment Show the chance of El Nino returning was looking more certain. The former Sorrento resident, now chief meteorologist at the Sydney-based weather company, said there was strong evidence of warming of the sea surface in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, a key indicator of El Nino conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Computer models picked the La Nina event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which led to floods and above-average rain in the past two years in Queensland, NSW and Victoria â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and are now predicting a likely return to drier conditions,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Zadnik said the dams supplying greater Melbourne were about 80 per cent full, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the highest level for 15 yearsâ&#x20AC;?.

A majority of weather agencies around the world including in Australia, United States, United Kingdom and Japan were pointing to an El Nino return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we see sea surface temperatures half a degree above normal for a number of months, we call the El Nino conditions.â&#x20AC;?

More temperature buoys, satellite information and observations taken aboard ships in the Pacific allowed the computer modelling to be more accurate, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After two years of good growing conditions, fire agencies such as the CFA and DSE would know about the predictions and would be preparing for a possible dry spring and summer and heightened fire risk.â&#x20AC;?

ABC Radio reported that El Nino weather events meant drier conditions across Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the plentiful rain along the east coast in recent weeks, there are still large areas of the country that have below-average rainfall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Nino occurs when the central and eastern Pacific warms up, causing major shifts in weather patterns.â&#x20AC;?

The Bureau of Meteorology said it was too soon to say if a new El Nino system would bring drought, but most computer models were pointing to drier than average conditions in spring and summer.

El Nino coming: Above, 14 years of very dry conditions caused by El Nino between 1996 and 2010 saw high fire risks throughout the southeast of Australia, including the Mornington Peninsula.

Residents of Crib Point were forced to fight a blaze that burnt beside the train line in 2003. Picture: Yanni Right, Alex Zadnik of Weatherzone.com and other meteorologists have warned that Australia could see a return of El Nino and drier conditions as early as October.

Road toll surges

By Jo Winterbottom KINGSTON police have introduced a range of measures to combat a skyrocketing road toll.

Speaking after the release of the 2011-12 crime statistics, Kingston police chief Inspector Tim Hansen said he was “disappointed” there had been nine deaths on roads in the Kingston police service area, which takes in Kingston and Glen Eira municipalities.

“Generally we have one road death or a maximum of two, so that’s a significant increase and we are looking at several ways to reduce it,” Inspector Hansen said.

Police had established the main “drivers” of the increased toll were elderly drivers and pedestrians, young drivers, cyclists and motorcyclists.

Strategies to target these groups would include education campaigns, letter boxing, police visits to motorcyclists who have a poor safety record, increased police presence on roads and at railway intersections and increased police numbers over the summer holiday period.

Inspector Hansen said weekend morning no-standing zones along Beach Road from Mordialloc to Mentone had helped improve safety among cyclists and road users. The beachfront stretch is popular with recreational cyclists, with more than 3500 routinely taking the route each Saturday and Sunday.

“There has been a significant improvement in cycling-related incidents because it [the no-standing zone] effectively opens up a bike lane,” Inspector Hansen said.

Elderly residents were over-represented in road deaths and injuries, both as drivers and pedestrians, and Kingston police are developing an “education package” for elderly drivers and their families,” Inspector Hansen said.

“We can’t mandate across the board, because some people are very frail at 70 and others are fit as a fiddle, but we will also be asking family members to help their parents come up with a strategy that will ensure their safety on the roads.”

“Skylarking”, speeding and hooning led to young motorists being overrepresented in the road toll. During the 2011-12 year, Kingston police impounded 140 vehicles belonging to hoon drivers, up from 77 the previous year.

A summer policing taskforce would target hoons in car parks and traffic on Nepean Highway.

Crime statistics showed a reduction in crime across several areas in the Kingston police service area. Rates per 100,000 people in the Kingston municipal area are high in nearly all crime classifications when compared to neighbouring Bayside municipality, but generally much lower than its other neighbour, Frankston.

Assaults were up 11.4 per cent to 1187, a figure inflated by increased reporting and action on family violence incidents, Inspector Hansen said.

He said a four-fold increase in public order offences (175) could be due to increased policing of antisocial behaviour by police operations such as Taskforce 27 (public transport) and Operation Humpday (licensed premises).

School’s centenary appeal

By Neil Walker CHELSEA Primary School is preparing to celebrate a historic milestone.

The school opened in 1912 and school business manager Jacqueline Russell is collecting memorabilia to display at the school’s centenary celebrations on Saturday 19 October.

Attendees will be invited to see how the school has changed over 100 years.

There will be guided tours at 10am, 11.30am and 4.30pm.

Ms Russell is asking any former pupils or teachers to lend any school

materials they may have stashed away at home.

“The community has always been very generous to this school,” she said.

“We’re hoping people have items they received when they were at Chelsea Primary School. School caps, T-shirts and ribbons awarded for athletics performances are just some of the things we’d be happy to display. Some brave souls may even like to display their school reports!”

The Chelsea Historical Society’s Ron and Margaret Jacobs are putting together a display of school photo-

graphs including full class pictures from throughout the years. They have produced a book detailing Chelsea Primary School’s history which will be available to buy for $5.

“We’ve also unearthed a film made in 1927 about the school which will be shown throughout the day,” Mrs Jacobs said.

To donate or lend school memorabilia to Chelsea Primary School for their centenary celebrations contact Jacqueline Russell on 9773 2055 or email chelsea.ps@edumail.vic.gov. au

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 18 September 2012

Rights approach on the platform for PSOs WITH armed protective services officers (PSOs) patrolling Frankston train station, Peninsula Community Legal Centre is urging commuters to be aware of their rights.

“PSOs are armed and uniformed officers who have the power to apprehend, arrest, search, fine and ask people to move on in designated areas such as trains stations and surrounding areas,” principal lawyer Victoria Mullings said.

“They have broad powers but they must interact with com-

muters in an accountable manner that is compliant with the duties and restrictions placed on them by the legislation.”

Ms Mullings said anyone dealing with PSOs had the right to ask their name, address, place of duty or ask to see identification if they were not in uniform.

“If asked, you must provide a PSO with your name and address but, beyond that, you are not obliged to answer any other questions.

“Commuters should remember that any information they

give a PSO may be used against them in court.”

For more information about individual rights and PSOs, free information cards are available from the legal centre at 441 Nepean Highway, Frankston.

The card has been produced by the Federation of Community Legal Centres in partnership with Smart Justice and the Mental Health Legal Service, as part of the Your Rights on Track campaign. Information is also available at www.smartjustice. org.au

Making a meal of it at Matt’s Place

By Jo Winterbottom THEY’VE just finished cooking and doing the dishes of a two-course lunch for 97 people, but the team at Matt’s Place in Cheltenham are still smiling.

It can’t be at the thought of a pay cheque - they are all volunteers – so it must have something to do with the “loving, warm environment” they create each Thursday at St Matthew’s Anglican Church.

Run by Bayside Community Care, a registered charity affiliated with Bayside Church, Matt’s Place serves a free hot meal twice a week to an increasing number of people who are doing it tough or sleeping rough. In addition to the Cheltenham lunch every Thursday, there is lunch for about 130 each Tuesday at St Chad’s Church in Chelsea.

Matt’s Place was among the charities to receive a 2012 grant from the Kingston Charitable Fund. Bayside Community Care manager Scott Anderson said the $2000 was “greatly appreciated”.

“There are many people under a lot of financial pressure and more people are putting up their hand for assistance,” he said.

For the 150 volunteers who work at Matt’s Place, the aim is not just to provide a nutritious feed. Diners are offered restaurant service, including a choice of meals and table service.

“We cater for people who find themselves on the fringe of society and we provide a loving, warm environment for them once or twice a week,” Mr Anderson said.

“We try and make them feel special.”

H F Q H L U H ([S

Friendships had developed between guests and between guests and volunteers.

The Kingston Charitable Fund was established in 2007 with a $10,000 donation from Kingston Council matched by the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation; further funds are obtained from business and philanthropic sources.

The council is aiming for a base fund of $1 million to provide a perpetual source for annual donations to chari-

ties that benefit Kingston residents.

A total of $38,000 was distributed to 15 organisations in the 2012 round of grants. They included $6351 to Lantern for a mental health program for young men, $4000 to Emerge Women and Children Support Network for an art program for women who have experienced domestic violence, $4000 for Longbeach Food Distribution Centre to purchase a trailer and $3500 for Financial Counselling Victoria to

promote a no-interest loan service to Kingston residents.

Other groups that received between $800 and $3000 were Kingston City Church, State Schools Relief, Parkinson’s Victoria, Dingley Village Community Service Advice Bureau, Peninsula Dragonflys, Bayside Community Information and Support Service, Highett Neighbourhood Community House and St Augustine’s Outreach Services.

Nancy Hogan

New head for health board NANCY Hogan is the new head of Peninsula Health’s board of directors.

Ms Hogan has been a member of the board since July 2007 and deputy chairperson since July 2010.

She takes over from Barry Nicholls, who had been with Peninsula Health for 10 years.

“During his time at Peninsula Health, Barry Nicholls contributed greatly to the growth and development of its sites and services,” Ms Hogan said.

Ms Hogan has headed several committees focused on the development of Peninsula Health and the standard of care offered by its services.

“While we are sorry to see Barry retire, Nancy is also a long-term resident of the Mornington Peninsula and understands the needs of our unique population,” Peninsula Health chief executive Dr Sherene Devanesen said.

“This in-depth understanding combined with a strong background in health care and considerable board experience with Peninsula Health and other organisations makes her ideal for the appointment.”

AROUND THE REGION

Water HQ land nets $4m Office site: Land for the new South East Water building is bounded by Kananook Creek, Beach St in the north, Playne St in the south and the Landmark building

By Keith Platt SOUTH East Water is paying $4 million for the site of its new Frankston headquarters.

The land facing Kananook Creek stretches from Beach St in the north to Playne St and is owned by Frankston Council.

A South East Water spokesperson said the price was market value and that moving to a new building there would “save us and our customers at least $20 million over the next 20 years”.

Council has agreed to ignore its own building height regulations to speed up approval for the building on land now used for a car park.

A South East Water sewage pumping station that has been at the site since 1968 will be removed.

“We also have another sewage pump station on the other side of Kananook Creek,” the spokesperson said.

“With Frankston’s population continuing to grow, our engineers are currently looking at the best ways to service the region’s sewerage needs and consolidating these two pump stations is one option we are exploring.”

Architect BVN has been appointed to design the new building, which is scheduled for completion in 2015.

“With the very best designers on board, we will develop a building that will activate and enhance the boulevard along Frankston’s foreshore for the greater benefit of the local community,” South East Water managing director Kevin Hutchings said.

“BVN’s emphasis is on designing a building that complements Frankston’s foreshore and can meet the needs of South East Water, our customers and the broader community.

“While it is still early days in the planning process, it is our intention that the new building will be at least a five-star energy efficient, open-plan office space that will have a modern and creative flair to add to the environment of Frankston.”

Mr Hutchings said BVN had designed some of Melbourne’s “very best buildings”, including the NAB and Myer head offices at Docklands.

“It is the leading international design house behind the Olympic Tennis Centre in Beijing and the Olympic athletes village in London, and its team is currently designing the Australian Embassy in Bangkok,” he said.

BVN’s national director James Grose saw the building as a “great opportunity to contribute to the renewal of Frankston’s foreshore”.

Pool centre sod turning

By Mike Hast BUILDING of the long-awaited Frankston aquatic centre has begun with a sod turning ceremony at Samuel Sherlock Reserve.

The mayor, Cr Brian Cunial, and federal Labor MP Mark Dreyfus will dig into the reserve’s soil to start the $46.35 million project, which is due to be completed by mid-2014.

The ceremony brings to an end a long and tortuous process that has seen several false starts, the most recent in 2006 when the Bracks Labor government promised Frankston it could have one of the portable, 50-metre pools used at the 2007 world swimming championships in Melbourne.

The $2 million pool was to be installed at Chisholm TAFE on McMahons Rd, but the project lapsed when Chisholm and the council failed to agree on terms.

The pool had parts missing when it was delivered and was stored in a council yard in Seaford until the council returned it to the government.

It was to be one of several pools in an aquatic centre.

The aquatic centre was put back on the agenda after the 2008 council elections when some councillors, led by Cr Brad Hill, restarted lobbying efforts.

The project gained legs (fins?) when the state

government promised $12.5 million for the pool in the run-up to the 2010 state election in an attempt to boost Frankston Labor MP Alistair Harkness’s electoral stocks.

Mr Harkness lost to the Liberal Party’s Geoff Shaw, but the money was locked in and the Liberal-National Coalition government had to honour the commitment.

In June, the federal government announced it would give $13.5 million to the project. It will be paid during the 2013-14 financial year Frankston Council will borrow up to $18 million with the balance coming from rates and other council revenue sources.

The Frankston Regional Aquatic Health and Wellbeing Centre will have a 51.5-metre Olympic-sized swimming pool, a learn to swim and leisure pool with play area, cafe, gymnasium, waterslides, splash deck, warm water therapy pool, spa and sauna, crèche and health and wellness centre, and car parking area.

In June, Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government Simon Crean said the project would create about 300 construction and 50 ongoing jobs.

It is expected to attract 700,000 visitors each year.

Expect to pay around half the price of a retail store!

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 18 September 2012

AROUND THE REGION

Homegrown TV series is a reel winner were worked out over a long lunch when Harris was in between jobs.

“I thought ‘what do I do now – corporate videos’, but then I thought about a series, the same gig every week.”

A pilot and two episodes were put to Channel 31, which agreed to air the show, beginning the start of a weekly show that, in the end, set a pace that was impossible to keep up.

“We bought air time, set up an office – things were bubbling along nicely.”

The crew would go to an area and visit the pub to find out where the fish were biting and who was catching them. “We used the local fishos to tell the story. It was like making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but we made 97 episodes.”

Harris and Knight split amicably two years ago and the show was revamped and centred on taking a (sponsored) boat with a (sponsored) car and trailer.

“We’d travel to a location to go fishing and show the lifestyle there.”

River to Reef gained a following and a reputation and big name companies in boating and fishing began approaching Harris.

With the “Barefoot Fisherman” David Hodge as host, the show “did really well”, enabling Harris to increase advertising fees.

The global financial crisis and the loss of three major sponsors in “one fell swoop” sent the show reeling, this time financially, nothing to do with pulling in a fish.

“TV is a tough field when you’re producing,” Harris says in reflection.

However, Honda Marine had been waiting in the wings, along with Surtees Boats, Club Marine Insurance,

On location: Phil Harris gets to shoot all over Australia for his River to Reef program with presenters Robbie Nethercote.

Dunbier Trailers and Icom, a Japanese communications company.

“We moved to Foxtel about two and a half years ago [after a falling out with Channel 31], but are now also back on Channel 31,” Harris said.

“And we’re about to move to TV for Me, a Channel Seven digital channel.

“It’s branded content so we have to buy space [air time]. I’ve pitched the program to the networks many times but they don’t know what they want.”

The show has two presenters, Theo Rozakis, co-director MY Marine in Dromana, and Robby Nethercote: “It’s a bit like Getaway meets Rex Hunt.”

While also making corporate videos, Harris says River to Reef takes up 90 per cent of his time.

He shoots and edits the footage and negotiates with sponsors and advertisers.

Although the show is widely recognised, Harris still has trouble gaining

support from tourism groups or local councils when arranging a shoot in their area. He said “they just don’t seem to get it” when contacted and told he’ll be arriving to shoot enough footage for half a dozen episodes of a program that will freely promote their area and a tourist destination. A debacle in Tasmania and, more recently, lack of cooperation on the Mornington Peninsula has seen him again revamp the format, replacing much of the planned “location branding” with paid advertisements.

Dealing with people is not difficult for Harris, who left Monash High School at 15 to later become a qualified motorbike mechanic “who’d always had a passion for filmmaking”.

He worked and saved to buy a super 8 camera and always wanted rolls of film for Christmas or birthday presents.

Libraries became a happy hunting ground for books on filmmaking, which he consumed at a rapid rate as well as undertaking a course on video production run by Open Channel.

Being invited to the set of Ground Zero, a film starring Colin Friels, “was

By Keith Platt MORE used to being behind the camera, Phil Harris has to make a few adjustments when confronted by the black hole of a zoom lens.

More used to telling people to relax than taking his own advice, Harris manages a grin and politely asks if enough shots have been taken.

A cinematographer who edits his own footage, writes scripts, lines up sponsors and sells ads, Harris is the product of the digital television age.

From a factory in Mornington, Harris’s Lennox Productions creates a fishing and lifestyle TV series that currently screens on two channels (one pay and one free-to-air) in four states.

River to Reef is about to switch channels, which, as Harris explains, is nothing surprising in the digital age.

An increasing number of TV programs are aired on bought time, with producers paying the channels for airtime and then seeking to cover costs through sponsors and advertisers.

It is a finance model pioneered by free newspapers, including The News.

Marketing company STW Group has signalled its entry into what is now being called “branded entertainment” by backing Hatch Entertainment, which already claims to be considering five “branded” productions.

The idea is certainly nothing new to Harris who has been producing River to Reef for the past six years.

The early shows were made in conjunction with a radio host, the late Glenn Knight, and were a visual version of a fishing and boating program he ran on radio for 18 years.

The nuts and bolts for River to Reef

the verification of everything I’d ever read”.

Harris bought some video gear and started making “freebies” for music groups, which eventually led to paid jobs, including The Seekers’ Judith Durham, Glenn Shorrock, Russell Morris, John Denver and the Village People. Corporate videos, product promotions and television commercials followed.

He has been a news and documentary cameraman and was instrumental in setting up Channel 31, which used Channel Seven’s broadcasting tower with links provided by the ABC. These days River to Reef runs to a production formula that sees about 20 hours of taped vision cut down to 10 episodes of 26 minutes each.

After 184 episodes, Harris knows how to call the shots, but remains ever alert to staying ahead in an industry that is as fluid as the waters that are the permanent prop for his television series.

... and other short stories

Beauty is in the iPod of the beholder

By Stuart McCullough SADLY, it’s over. It is clear to me the bond I believed existed between us was a mere figment of my imagination.

I am embarrassed, naturally. For a time there, it seemed as if you could read my mind, anticipate my every whim, each passing desire. I see now that I was horribly mistaken. In an instant, it is if I am suddenly in the presence of a stranger who does not know the first thing about me. Or, more to the point, one who does not know the first thing about my musical preferences. I’m sorry to say this but, dear “Recommendations for You” on the iTunes store, you don’t understand me at all.

I probably should have dumped you long ago, but the memory of those first giddy encounters led me to hope that things would, at some point, get better.

Even now, the remembrance of recommendations past causes a mist of warm feelings to descend on me like summer rain. Ahh. Perhaps it was the sheer novelty of having a machine tell me that it cares about me that caught me so off-guard. I suppose I was flattered. I know better now.

Perhaps our romance was always doomed because, when all is said and done, my heart belongs to proper music stores. They were the very reason I came to digital purchasing relatively late. For me, there has always been something quite lovely about a music store. There was always the thrill of discovery as you rifled through the racks – encountering albums that you had only ever heard spoken of in

hushed, reverent tones or the giddy joy of purchasing something on the strength of the cover art alone. Try replicating that with an MP3 file. Then there is the matter of judgement – it’s like no other retail experience.

Whether it is a law or a substantial and overwhelming coincidence, every good music store must employ someone at the front counter called Lloyd.

Always slightly haggard of appearance and possibly hungover, Lloyd is the absolute arbiter of taste. Granted, such judgement is plainly rendered useless when it comes to clothes, but

music is an entirely different matter.

When you hand up your selections, the grizzled, bloodshot eye of ol’ Lloyd crawls across the cover in silence. It’s an awkward moment. Finally, the moment of approval comes in form of a grunt or in the slightest of nods that a moment’s inattention would let pass by undetected. A particularly tasteful choice might even prompt a comment along the lines of “Great album. Ever heard any Little Feat?”

There are few greater compliments on this earth than for a music store attendant to share their knowledge with

feather, and The Destiny Song by Band of Light.

Other performers include Masters Apprentices, Cold Chisel, Buster Brown, Buffalo, Kahvas Jute, Wendy Saddington, Spectrum, Matt Taylor, Skyhooks and The Sports.

Skyhooks has its remastered version of Saturday Night, Daddy Cool perform Hi Honey Ho (live Sunbury 1974) and Chain a 2010 remastered version of Gertrude Street Blues.

The album of 44 tracks will be the first release for the better part of a decade from the iconic Festival label, which is celebrating its 60th birthday.

And speaking of anniversaries, the Sunbury Festival, which featured many of the acts on the compilation, turns 40 this year.

Frey has taken a new direction with the album and spent more than two years on the project. It is a collection of swing songs including 1940s classics such as Sentimental Reasons and My Buddy as well as favourites from some of his contemporaries such as Brian Wilson’s Caroline No and Randy Newman’s Same Girl, and the American standard Route 66.

Frey’s started his career playing guitar on Bob Seger’s early recordings before joining Linda Ronstadt’s band. He later formed The Eagles with Don Henley before starting a solo career,which produced the hit song The Heat is On (1984) from the film Beverly Hills Cop.

you. It’s like being granted entry to an exclusive club. A glorious world in which looks, dress sense and hygiene count for little and knowledge – sweet musical knowledge – is prized above all else. When a music store employee shares their thoughts about music with you, it’s a sacred bond. Granted, one that lasts no longer than 60 seconds and involves a cash payment, but a sacred bond all the same.

When I discovered I could purchase music without even leaving the house, I’ll admit I was seduced by the convenience and efficiency. Not to mention the fact that such purchases came without the tell-tale packaging that instantly alerts your loved ones to the fact you have just kicked a sizeable hole in the weekly household budget.

Better than just efficient, it was discrete. Not that things were perfect.

Buying music with a simple mouse click has its problems – it feels cold, a little distant.

I even missed the ritual of trying to get the CD out of the plastic, with success always feeling as if it should be greeted with a musical flourish to herald a magical act of escape.

I miss looking at the cover – and reading the liner notes. I don’t know why I need to know who played the harmonium on track three or which band member ran down to the shops for a pie and a Big M at a crucial moment during the recording process – I just do. In an age of picking tracks as they please you, liner notes are all but extinct. Sometimes you can download a booklet, but it’s a pretty feeble substitute.

I probably missed Lloyd most of all.

That’s where iTunes came in. At first it felt like someone was reading my mind as I gleefully snapped up everything “Recommendations for You” suggested. Then something, somewhere, went horribly wrong. Like so many things, it unravelled over time.

First it was the occasional recommendation that I buy the latest Madonna or Lady Gaga single when, in truth, I’d sooner fill my ears with hot wax than to listen to anything that either of them saw fit to unleash on the public.

Then there were the recommendations to buy various singles by reality show contestants. Suddenly, it was as though we were drifting apart. Ironically enough, it was when you recommended My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion that I knew we were truly sunk. I demanded a retraction. You, being the machine that you are, did not respond.

My heart will, indeed, go on, but not with you. It belongs to Lloyd and to real music stores everywhere. Try as you might, you can never replace a real music store attendant. At best, you can only simulate the experience.

It is, I feel, the curse of being inhuman, no matter how hard you try to convince us otherwise. So, “Recommendations for You”, allow me to return the favour and recommend the song It’s Over by the late, great Roy Orbison. A soaring piece of emotional pop-opera, chances are your mechanical heart won’t be moved at all. That, I am afraid, is your loss. I can say, however, that it comes with Lloyd’s stamp of approval. That, at least, still means something. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance THE Australian music scene was at its best in the 1970s. We were hit with the blues bug and the birth of Australian rock.

Our radios were blasting out Lobby Loyde and the Coloured Balls, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Spectrum, La De Das, Blackfeather, Madder Lake, The Angels, Chain, Cold Chisel and many more.

I was at the first Sunbury Festival and saw Band of Light, JOK, Billy Thorpe, Michael Turner in Session and Country Radio.

By the mid-1970s, I was working with Jimmy Barnes, Redhouse, Stars, Blue Echoes, AC/DC, Kevin Borich Express, Bootleg Family Band, Avalanche, Finch and other artists.

I recall Mushrooms Records insuring Jimmy Barnes for $1 million when he insisted on doing his own stunts on the clip of his first solo single No Second Prize and the Coloured Balls’ debut single Liberate Rock was the first time in Australia a record company, Havoc Records, advertised the release of a single with a radio commercial.

There was the first performance of new Redhouse lead singer Graham Matters who had previously performed in A Chorus Line and The Rocky Horror Show and Beeb Birtles discovered a band in Adelaide called The Stars, dubbed rock ’n’ roll cowboys.

HISTORY

Wrong turn leads to tragedy in Mordialloc

By Cameron McCullough In 1932, two people drowned after their car plunged off the end of Mordialloc pier. The following account is taken from contemporary newspaper reports.

ROYDEN Kennedy Patterson was a wealthy 49-year-old grazier who owned Tammit Station, near Euston, in New South Wales.

He had travelled to Mentone to stay as a guest of his business partner, Selborne Kennon, at his home in Beach Rd, Mentone.

Patterson owned Tammit station in partnership with Kennon. Patterson also was a prominent racehorse owner and with Kennon had the horses David Garrick, Binna, Tammit, Own, and Gudroon.

Mr Patterson had travelled from his property to Mentone on Sunday 31 January 1932. He was joined in Mentone a day later by 40-year-old divorcee Ivy D’Arcy of Swan Hill, who had travelled down with friends and was staying at the nearby Mentone Hotel. Mrs Darcy had left her 18-yeardaughter at Swan Hill while she took a holiday.

On the evening of Wednesday 3 February, Patterson borrowed a car from a fellow grazier, Sir H D Leslie who also was staying in Mentone. His intention was to take Mrs D’Arcy for a

drive along the bay to Frankston.

On the way back, they met Mr and Mrs Kennon, and Kennon agreed to see Patterson later at Mentone.

When Patterson did not arrive at the Kennon home two or three hours later, Mr Kennon became alarmed. He went to the Mentone Hotel and was told Mrs Darcy had not returned either.

He and Mr Leslie then went to Mordialloc and alerted police, who

searched the area. They found wheel tracks leading onto the pier. A sharpeyed officer saw two abrasions on a plank at the seaward end of the pier that looked like it had been struck by the wheels of a car. The end of the pier was not protected by railings.

In the morning, divers found the car lying on its roof with the hood up and all doors closed in 15-20 feet (4.5-6m) of water near the end of the pier.

Bridge to nowhere: The beach at Mordialloc with the pier in the background, as it appeared in the middle of last century.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Mr Patterson was dead at the wheel of the car, but there was no sign of Mrs D’Arcy.

It was thought that Mrs Darcy, who was sitting next to Patterson, had either jumped or been swept out of the car when it struck the water.

Her handbag and a beret she had been wearing were in the front seat next to Patterson.

Police speculated her body had been

carried out to sea.

Initially, police formed the theory it was a double suicide, but this was soon discounted. Relatives of Mr Patterson confirmed he seemed to be in excellent spirits on the day of his disappearance, and although Mrs Darcy was divorced, there seemed to be no reason for suicide.

Police decided it was an accident.

It was thought Mr Patterson mistook the pier for a bridge and continued to drive along it, unaware of impending disaster.

The body of Ivy D’Arcy was washed on to the beach at Carrum near the mouth of Patterson River three days later.

A coronial inquest into the deaths was held on 17 February.

After hearing the evidence of many witnesses, the coroner recorded a finding that Royden Kennedy Patterson and Ivy May D’Arcy accidentally met their deaths off the end of the Mordialloc pier late on the night of 3 February or early 4 February.

Evidence was given that it would have been possible for Mr Patterson – having in error turned to the left off Beach Rd when entering Mordialloc from Carrum late at night – to have driven along the pier not knowing it was a pier.

Sergeant McPhee told the inquest there was a signboard near Beach Rd bearing the words “Keep to the left.

One-way traffic”, which was somewhat misleading. He had heard that other cars had been driven onto the pier by mistake at night.

YCW v Mt Eliza for premiership glory PENINSULA DIVISION

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW will be looking for its third premiership in a row when it tackles Mt Eliza this Sunday in the MPNFL Peninsula Division grand final.

The Stonecats won through to the final with a comfortable 25-point victory over Karingal in Sunday’s preliminary final at Frankston Park.

The Stonecats went into the game with just two changes, teenagers Marcus Roberts and Josh Westerman in for the injured Daniel Smith and Michael Chaplin, who was omitted.

Karingal had three important players back in the side, including league medallist Michael Burke, team of the year wingman Steve Charalambous and Ryan Jenke.

But the Bulls were still missing two of their most important players – Allan Williams and Grant Goodall.

Williams is a key defender and Goodall would have gone head to head with Ash Eames in the ruck.

Being stretched in the height department meant Dan Noble was in the ruck and Aaron Paxton had to play as a key defender.

When the Bulls lost coach Brendan Dunne with a calf injury early in the second quarter, they were stretched even further.

This saw Ash Eames become the most dominant and best player on the ground. He dominated ruck contests, around the ground stoppages and took at least a dozen marks, most of them contested.

Brad Ulms at centre half-forward was too big and strong for a number of opponents who went to him and Dale Carroll proved too strong for Paxton in one-on-one contests.

In Paxton’s defence, he was one of Karingal’s best, held Carroll to just three goals and ran off his man all afternoon. However, when the ball was kicked long and deep one-out, Carroll had size on his side.

The difference between the sides was Eames and Ulms.

The Bulls just couldn’t get their structures right all afternoon and were forever forced to make changes.

Chris Hay made the most of his opportunities with five goals straight, but he lacked support in the Karingal forward line.

A number of players rotated through the forward zone, including Bevan

Malloy, Michael Burke, Luke Van Raay, Brendan Dunne (early), Noble, David Hirst, Ryan Jenke and Dale Alainis.

The back line of the Stonecats – including Byron and Anthony Barry, Paul Wintle and Kevin Lylak – were able to rebound constantly, especially from half-back.

If the Bulls could not get it directly to Hay inside 50, they never looked like scoring.

YCW’s Craig Nankervis and Rhys Johnson, along with dashing teenager Josh Pickess, also were standouts.

The Stonecats, shell-shocked from the week before after being thrashed

by Mt Eliza, jumped out of the blocks and kicked the first four goals.

At quarter time, the Stonecats had a match-winning lead of 28 points.

Rikki Morris started in sensational fashion with two goals in the first quarter and finished with three.

Karingal had speed on their side and began to run and carry the footy more in the second quarter.

They began to change direction and run and spread, as we have become accustomed to this season.

Charalambous was having an influence, Malloy was setting up from half-

back, James Tyquin was starting to work his way into the contest, and Sam McGarry started to win the ball.

The Bulls hit back and at half-time were able to maintain the quarter-time margin.

In the third quarter, YCW looked as though it was going to blow Karingal away, but three quick goals in five minutes near the end of the quarter reduced the three-quarter time margin to 25 points.

When Karingal came at the Stonecats again in the final term, reducing the margin to less than three kicks, Eames was brought back onto the ground and Carroll was shifted from full-forward to full-back to get a stronger body on Hay. This saw the Stonecats settle, kick a couple of goals and record a comfortable victory.

The Stonecats need to restructure again in preparation for Mt Eliza.

To go in with the same set-up as they did against Karingal would be naive.

Michael Chaplin, who kicked four in the reserves, should be reconsidered.

Could Josh Leary go into the ruck and allow Eames to rest in the forward line?

Carroll, who played as a key forward

on Sunday, will have to play back against either Michael Lourey or Scott Lockwood, while Dane Andanov will get the other. Byron Barry must go to Sam Lloyd.

Lew Roberts, along with Chaplin, Rikki Morris and Kyle Hutchison playing as a permanent deep forward, might just test the Redlegs.

YCW coach Tony Barry has always been a leader who picks a team for the opposition. Expect some changes this week. Daniel Smith is important to the YCW team and the club will be hoping he has recovered.

Frankston YCW will be represented in the Reserves after beating Karingal by seven goals. YCW has won 10 of its past 11 matches and will be hoping the form continues against Langwarrin in the grand final on Sunday.

In the Under-18s, Mt Eliza will play Frankston YCW after the Stonecats easily accounted for Chelsea in Sunday’s preliminary final.

All hail the mighty Sorrento Sharks NEPEAN DIVISION

By Toe Punt IT may have been the third premiership in succession and the fourth in five years, but the 2012 Nepean Division premiership was a lot sweeter this time around for the Sorrento Football Club.

The club was rocked early in grand final week by the death of former junior John McCarthy.

“J-Mac” had a close relationship with a number of players at the club and the McCarthy family was very much a part of the Sorrento FC community.

The Sharks also had a tough path into the grand final and there were a number of players under an injury cloud.

Its opponent Dromana was the inform team of the competition, had beaten the Sharks on two occasions and was favourite to take the flag.

At the 15-minute of the first quarter, it appeared the emotions of the week had caught up with the Sharks.

Dromana quickly slipped out to a handy four-goal break in the opening term and key forward Anthony Bruhn looked unstoppable.

Steven Gaertner was getting first hands on the footy and 2012 league medal winner Rikki Johnston was dominating across half-back.

Adam Hunter, who had an abdominal injury, was tested early by Sorrento midfielder Leigh Treeby and he rebounded strongly.

One of two things was going to happen at this point – Dromana would continue to pour on the goals or Sorrento would dig deep and fight back.

Anyone who had watched Sorrento over the past eight or nine years knew the answer.

At about the 20-minute mark of the

first quarter, Sorrento tightened up in defence, its midfield began to work harder and its forwards began to present.

By quarter time, the Sharks had worked back into the contest but it was still five goals to one.

In the second quarter, the Sharks began to control the ball.

Best on ground was clearly Leigh Treeby and he was the player who got them going.

Scott Cameron played his best game for the season. His tap work was vintage and his work rate was superb.

Sorrento coach Nick Claringbold made the winning move late in the second quarter and maintained it for the remainder of the game –Troy Schwarze into the middle.

Schwarze’s clearance work, especially in the second half and when the game was there to be won in the last quarter, was exceptional. His job was made somewhat easier with Cameron tapping it down his throat.

The fact that Doug Scott could fill Troy’s role across half-back gave the Sharks that luxury.

While Cameron was dominant in the middle of the ground, he was even more dominant at the stoppages around the ground.

Why Dromana did not employ the third man up tactic was baffling.

At half-time, the Sharks were well and truly in the contest and you sensed we were in for a thrilling second half.

After the long break, Dromana did everything to try and shake the Sharks, but they just wouldn’t go away.

Sorrento’s Trevor Mattison was winning hard contests from the wing and Dalton Sanderson was showing no signs of an injured hand.

Dromana started to overuse the foot-

ball, handball to stationary players and turn the footy over when kicking to targets.

Paul Minchington and Gaertner were working extremely hard in the middle of the ground then pushing forward.

Michael Hunter and Shaun Clarke were providing good run off half-back, but the midfield couldn’t win as much possession and when they did, they coughed it up.

Sorrento’s forwards began to lead with conviction, Ben Schwarze and Leigh Poholke working hard.

Despite having a broken finger and not looking great in the preliminary final, Poholke attacked the footy with vigour in the second half. His return of three goals was just reward.

The margin was eight points in favour of Dromana at three-quarter time.

While the majority of the crowd was hopeful Dromana could find another gear in the last quarter, many spectators were well aware Sorrento was in the box seat.

Daniel Grant and Leigh Poholke sent Sorrento supporters into raptures in the final quarter, both kicking goals from the boundary line toward the bay end of Frankston Park.

Up the other end, Dromana missed several opportunities to score.

The lead changed hands in the last quarter a couple of times before Dromana’s Beau McMurray took a mark 35 metres out directly in front.

With just 90 seconds left on the clock, the equation was simple: kick the goal and the Tigers win. Miss it and Dromana would need a miracle to win their first flag in 41 years.

McMurray, who had injections in his right ankle at quarter time, hooked the kick and missed.

Two points in front, Sorrento re-

bounded, got the ball forward, Leigh Poholke marked 50 metres out and the siren sounded. There was no need for Poholke to take his kick.

Sorrento had won three in a row.

Many were speaking about the McMurray kick after the game and on Sunday.

It was unfair to blame McMurray.

There were a number of players who had opportunities during the game to kick goals and missed. Bruhn started with two goals, but missed his next three. Toby Banks grabbed the ball off a pack in the last quarter, got free and missed, although he did kick a good goal earlier in the quarter.

Dromana players continually turned the ball over when they were moving forward. Midfielders didn’t push hard enough defensively.

These were the reasons Dromana lost the game, not because of the McMurray miss.

Sorrento’s fighting qualities had come to the fore yet again.

You cannot underestimate how great this football club is and the qualities and self-belief of the players.

“They’re a resilient bunch, freaks in fact,” said chairman of selectors Gerard Goss after the match.

“When we were five goals down early in the first quarter, there were some concerns, obviously.

“However, I thought we got back into the match late in the quarter and despite, playing poorly, to be within four goals was a bit of a bonus.

“Then it was just a matter of pegging them back, bit by bit.

“At half-time the guys were very confident about their chances. Knowing the resolve of the team, we all knew we were a big chance.

“Things just went our way in the last

quarter. Poholke and Grant kick those goals from the boundary and Dromana missed a couple.

“It was a really big week for the club, bigger than any other build-up we’ve had, and to win in those circumstances was really special for everyone.”

In the Dromana camp, coach Gavin Artico was devastated.

“We made far too many mistakes in the second quarter. We made poor decisions and our use of the ball was poor,” he said.

“It was our bad football that allowed Sorrento back into the game.

“When we needed to consolidate and stretch them, we didn’t and we gave them a sniff.

“They’re a great footy team and you just can’t allow them to believe they can win. It was a tough week for them and they responded.”

Reserves FRANKSTON broke a four-year grand final losing streak with a 20-point win over Somerville.

Ryan Lia, Zac Longham and Justin Kiss booted three goals each, while Harley McLenaghan, Shannon Campbell and coach Trevor Reints were outstanding.

Nick Brown and Ben Crowe were the best of the Eagles, and Todd Farrelly booted three goals.

Under-18s SOMERVILLE proved it was the best side in the under-18s in 2012 by reversing its second semi-final loss to Red Hill to win the premiership by 39 points.

Luke Rowe booted four goals for the Eagles, and Danny Marshall, Sam Adams and Jack Day were outstanding.

Skipper Jayden Pain was fantastic for the Hillmen, and Jake Wood and Luke Rositani tried hard.

Changes at Tigerland Dolphins circling AN interested onlooker at MPNFL finals has been Frankston Dolphins coach Simon Goosey.

The Dolphins have been criticised in recent weeks for talking to players still involved in the finals series.

This resulted in a swipe at the Dolphins on the RPP Footy Show recently.

landed on Sunday was 3.5kg caught on squid close to Eagle Rock on the outgoing tide.

Gunnamatta surf beach has been producing Australian salmon to 2kg.

Best bait is blue bait and best time is near the top of the tide.

Balcombe Creek was kind to Jonny of Mornington Boat Hire who took five bream of 30-38cm on prawns.

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiarow Winter’s bite is receding and fish are beginning to bite in Spring. Keen anglers are gearing up for the Spring fishing season. Here’s a guide to which fish are biting around the bays.

What’s biting

Squid: The last week has been a little quiet on both bays for squid. Fishing has been hampered by the wind and rain, and although the weekend was fine, the water was still quite murky.

Flinders and Blairgowrie piers have been best for a few inkers to 3kg, while on the boats Tyabb Bank in Western Port is okay with squid to 1.5kg. Portsea to Point Nepean in Port Phillip is seeing squid to 3kg for those willing to work. Best results have been on red jigs.

Whiting: Although patchy, King George whiting to 45cm are in good numbers on the Tyabb Bank and off Balnarring in Western Port and in the South Channel in Port Phillip.

Snapper: The reds are starting to show in both bays. Best locations have been Eagle Rock in Western Port, and Carrum, Mornington and Mt Martha for Port Phillip. Best times are the change of tide and best baits have been fresh squid or oily fish like pilchards, salmon, couta or red rockets.

James Rogers of Unreel Fishing Charters (0416 322 155) reports the following: “Over this past two weeks or so we have fished on consecutive days and found snapper in a number of locations. We began about a fortnight

or so with a beautiful 7.5kg snapper, the following day the best fish was a 6kg. On our next trip we landed a thumping 8.5kg, a 6.5kg and a 6.1kg followed on the next trip by an 8.3kg, a 7.6kg and a 7.2kg. We followed this with a snapper of 7.7kg and a 6.3 kg.

“I am amazed at the size and amount of fish that are here at the moment as this is very early and not typical for so early in September.

“We have found them off Mt Eliza, Frankston and right up to Chelsea in varying depths up to 19 metres but with all this rough weather, very shallow has also been dynamite.”

Since then James topped the scales on Thursday last week when he and

good mate and fellow skipper Simon Rinaldi (Red Hot Fishing Charters 0409 188 751) bagged a 9.3kg (20lb) monster.

Late news: James Rogers (Unreel Fishing Charters), Mat Cini (Reel Time Fishing Charters) and Jason “Stop the bus” Kennedy smashed the reds off Mornington on 10 September.

The fish were to 6kg; stay tuned for the footage on Foxtel of Dylan Rogers, 6, landing a 6kg red, one of 15 snapper caught by the boys.

I agree with James – these are early season fish and while the water is cold the fishing will only get better.

For years I have seen the best snapper seasons occur when we get a high

winter rainfall followed by a hot, dry summer and this is exactly what the Bureau of Meteorology is predicting.

For early season success, fish in low light and at night in 6-14 metres. As the sun rises, follow the fish into deeper water to 19 metres. Use a sounder to locate fish and burley to hold them in your area. Use very lightly weighted baits cast into the burley trail.

Garfish are still being caught off Mornington pier and Mt Martha rocks; best bait is silverfish.

Anglers fishing out of Yaringa Boat Harbour are catching snapper, gummy shark, squid, couta, flathead, whiting and salmon. Best time is on the last of the runout tide. The biggest snapper

Cup hope kicks off at Mornington

By Peter Ellis LEE Freedman trained five Melbourne Cup winners in his 30 years as head of Freedman Brothers Incorporated.

He handed the job to his younger brother Anthony about 12 months ago. Quickly gathering the reins, Anthony soon made his presence felt with a victory at Group 1 level and a third with Lucas Cranach in last year’s Melbourne Cup. The early favourite for this year’s Cup, Lucas Cranach unfortunately went amiss and his future is clouded.

This left Doomben Cup winner Mawingo as the stable’s flagbearer, but he was disappointing when finishing last behind Southern Speed in the Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington on 8 September.

But another cup prospect has emerged in Fruehling, who, like Lucas Cranach and Mawingo, has been imported from the northern hemisphere.

A placegetter at his three starts in the United Kingdom, Fruehling has registered four wins from five outings since coming under Freedman’s care.

The latest of these was over 1600 metres at Mornington last Wednesday when beginning his spring campaign.

“I was pleased with his performance and he will only improve as the distances get longer,” Freedman said.

There is also a connection with the Freedman stable through another imported stayer, Buxted.

Buxted is being prepared by Sam Pritchard-Gordon who filled the position as racing manager for Lee Freedman after coming to Australia from England a few years ago.

Pritchard-Gordon, whose family is steeped in the finest traditions of UK

racing, subsequently went out on his own as a trainer.

He has demonstrated he is on the right track with Buxted.

A listed winner and a two-mile placegetter in a Group 3 event in the UK, Buxted had had three runs in Australia.

He showed he has Melbourne Cup potential with a determined win over 2500m at Moonee Valley last Saturday. The seven-year-old looks in fine condition and indications are he will be about the places in the staying races coming up. *** MORNINGTON star Bel Sprinter is set to tackle Australia’s best sprinters in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate eve.

A five-year-old by Black Caviar’s sire Bel Esprit has won six of his 10 starts. Now trainer Jason Warren has overcome a series of minor problems with the gelding, he should realise his full potential.

“He has been a difficult horse to train,” Warren said after Bel Sprinter resumed with a win at Moonee Valley on the weekend.

“He has had a foot abscess and would get worked up once he arrived at the races, but we did a lot of equestrian work with him and his manners have improved.” *** CRANBOURNE trainer Greg Eurell could have a replacement in the stable for last year’s Cox Plate winner Pinker

Pinker, who died suddenly in autumn.

After being taken along very quietly, Eurell’s Red Ransom filly Love For Ransom displayed exceptional promise in scoring a brilliant last-to-first win over 1200m at Moonee Valley.

This was only her second outing – she was put aside after a win at Sandown in May – and her future looks very exciting.

At this stage her main target is the Group 1 Thousand Guineas at Caulfield on 17 October.

It is an objective Love For Ransom’s jockey Glen Boss believes she can achieve.

“Atlantic Jewel won this race before winning the Thousand Guineas last year and I think this filly can do the

same,” the three-time Melbourne Cup winning rider said.

The Alderson stable looks set to earn some valuable prizemoney with the lightly raced four-year-old That’s The One. He produced a slashing first-up effort when a fast-finishing fourth behind Sea Lord over 1200m at Moonee Valley.

That’s The One showed considerable promise last season and the effort suggests he will be a player in some of the rich races over 1400 and 1600 metres.

Amah Rock, who ran second to Sea Lord, is another worth following in coming weeks as is the classy Midnight Martini who is looking for further than the 1600m she contested at the Moonee Valley.

The seems to be no stopping Peter Moody and he has two bright prospects in staying races coming up with Guns At Five and King Diamond.

Others to take my eye at last week’s Mornington meeting were Gold Rory, Valid Contract, Escado, Gotta Laugh, Off And Laughing, and Silver Falls.

Best: That’s The One.  International form expert Peter Ellis provides weekly racing tips online at the Tatts website. Visit www.tatts.com > News > Peter Ellis Racing Tips after 2pm each Friday.
