Colourful yarn A CRAFTY coffee connoisseur left a colourful message of appreciation outside a popular Mornington cafĂŠ last week, much to the delight of management and staff who have suffered guerrilla attacks of a far less pleasant nature in the past.

Commonfolk Coffee Company staff arrived at work at their Progress St cafĂŠ on Wednesday morning to discover the colourful knitted artwork adorning a metal post at the entrance, the location of a vandalism attack four months earlier when a large pile of manure was dumped. Owner/manager Sam Keck, pictured with 19-month-old Michael Longshore and his mum Sarah Longshore and grandparents Kate and Ian Rolls, who regularly travel all the way from Beaumarris to enjoy a gourmet cuppa, said the earlier attack appeared to be linked to an ongoing dispute with some of the neighbouring businesses over parking in the narrow street.

Luxury kennels rejected

By Mike Hast A PROPOSED boarding kennel complex in Bungower Rd, Moorooduc, near Coolart Rd has been rejected by shire councillors.

Councillors led by the mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, and Cerberus Ward’s David Garnock went against a Mornington Peninsula Shire planning officer’s recommendation to approve the kennel complex, known as “Bark Avenue�.

Dr Scott Tinson wanted to build in two stages 28 “luxury� kennels with internal runs for large and small dogs, 38 standard kennels with internal runs for large and medium-sized dogs, six luxury “cabins� to hold 24 dogs, four uncovered communal exercise yards, 10 external exercise yards, a cattery with indoor area, and an administration area, which included a veterinary consulting room and an area for geriatric dogs. The complex would have had up to 90 dogs and 40 cats at any one time.

The shire received 12 objections from neighbours concerned about noise, proximity to homes, traffic and access, environmental impact, and drainage and management of waste water.

They told the shire a kennel was “an inappropriate use in the green wedge zone�.

A slim majority of councillors agreed and rejected the application.

The proposal was “inconsistent with the local planning policy, as inadequate

measures are proposed to address the detrimental impact the proposal will have on the amenity of surrounding residents through increased traffic, noise and odour�.

The plan was “contrary to the decision guidelines of the green wedge zone, and local policy 22.07 as it relates to commercial uses in rural areas� and two other planning clauses.

Councillors agreed there were too many buildings planned for the green wedge zone property, which formerly

had been used for cattle and horses.

Bark Avenue was proposed last September and saw neighbours led by Bob Phillips and Judy Banks vigorously oppose the plan.

Ten houses are within 500 metres of Bark Avenue including the home of former television producer Mr Phillips and his wife, stage and screen star Judy Banks, who present a showbiz program on the peninsula’s radio station RPP-FM. Continued on Page 7

High-tech tools help fight family violence

By Chris Brennan POLICE and Mornington Peninsula Shire officials have welcomed the launch of an online service that provides 24-hour assistance to people who have experienced domestic violence.

The Ask Someone website and mobile phone application provides access to free professional support and information for anyone who has suffered family violence in any form or has used violence against a family member.

Peninsula residents can use the service to access a variety of support organisations in Melbourne’s south, including medical, legal and community services as well as police.

The service was developed by the Southern Metropolitan Region Integrated Family Violence Executive in response to rising concerns about in-

creasing reports of domestic violence, with Victoria Police statistics revealing an increase of almost 400 per cent in family violence-related crimes over the past 10 years.

Southern Metropolitan Regional Integration Family Violence coordinator Linda Watson said domestic violence included physical harm, sexual assault, emotional, psychological, verbal, economic and social abuse.

“It also covers threats to harm another family member or pets, and children who hear, witness or are exposed to the effects of family violence,” she said.

Ask Someone provided a “unique referral pathway” designed to link practitioners in the legal and family violence support services with clients.

“Support services offer a range of care from early intervention to crisis response to women and children escaping family violence though to

recovery. There are also programs to change the behaviour of men who use violence against their family.

“Ask Someone brings another avenue for people to access these important services from a computer, smart phone or tablet safely and confidentially for free, 24/7.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said Ask Someone was a welcome addition to community support networks working to curb the rising tide of family violence.

“Everyone has the right to feel safe in their family and home, and the shire is supportive of actions to reduce family violence,” Cr Bowden said.

The shire’s health and wellbeing committee chair Cr Antonella Celi said the new service made the most of modern tools to provide a “smart way for people to gain access to local services anywhere, any time”.

“The shire has committed to the development of a prevention of violence charter and action plan, and will be liaising closely with the community in its development,” Cr Celi said.

“Family violence can stop. If you have experienced family violence or used violence against a family member, seek free professional support and information.”

Mornington Peninsula police commander Inspector Bryan Sharp said authorities were gravely concerned about the rising number of family violencerelated crimes being reported.

The rate of family violence-related crime on the peninsula had increased from 660 instances per 100,000 people in 2008-09 to 1100 in 2012-13, official Victoria Police statistic reveal.

“Family violence is an ongoing, statewide issue that exacts a terrible toll on families and the community,”

Inspector Sharp said.

“These destructive behaviours will remain a priority for police and support groups.

“The Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Unit will continue to target recidivist offenders and offer support to victims, so I urge all members of our community to speak out against family violence.”

Chief Commissioner Ken Lay also highlighted family violence as an area of growing concern for police across the state when the latest crime statistics for the 12 months to June 30 were released recently.

“We know that family violence-related crime is significantly impacting on our crime statistics,” Mr Lay said.

“Over the past 10 years, family violence-related crime against the person has increased by nearly 400 per cent.”

Workshop and study to identify marine precincts MORNINGTON Peninsula Marine Alliance is holding a planning workshop at 6pm on Thursday 21 November at Hastings Community House, 185 High St, Hastings.

It will identify suitable locations for the development of marine precincts with direct access to Western Port or Port Phillip.

Alliance executive officer Bruce Douglas said feedback from the workshop would be included in a marine precincts study being produced by the end of the year.

It will recommend how the peninsula’s marine industry can best be expanded, taking into account land use, deep water access and workforce training.

“The precincts will help businesses to remain here and expand rather than be coerced to other regions,” Mr Douglas said.

“It is timely having regard to the Port of Hastings development as we want to be able to support businesses serving the port and its ancillary functions.”

He said possible areas for development of the marine industry included Yaringa Harbour, Hastings and Crib Point on Western Port, and Martha Cove (Safety Beach) and Blairgowrie on Port Phillip.

The alliance was formed in 2011 after Mr Douglas, the former Mornington Peninsula Shire infrastructure director, conducted an initial study of the sector in late 2010.

Mr Douglas is a civil engineer who had a 30-year career in local government, including 11 years as

the shire’s director of sustainable infrastructure.

The sector is the largest by turnover in the shire, surpassing BlueScope Steel, the naval base at HMAS Cerberus and the shire council.

Mr Douglas said the peninsula’s commercial and recreational marine industry employed about 1100 workers, served 25,000 people and contributed $200 million a year to the peninsula’s GDP. Foundation members of a board formed in 2011 were Hastings-based

Crib Point Engineering, Hart Marine of Mornington, Sealite of Somerville, Wooden Boat Shop of Sorrento, Yaringa Harbour of Somerville, the shire’s economic development manager Shane Murphy and Mr Douglas.

Seed money came from the five businesses and the shire. New members were Martha Cove Marina and Searoad Ferries.

Governance manager Noel Buck set to retire

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s long-time governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck is set to retire.

Mr Buck’s job was advertised in The Age last Saturday week.

The shire is offering a salary package of $160,000 for someone who will “provide strategic advice and management of customer service, risk management and insurances, and governance support for the whole organisation�.

The governance manager oversees four team leaders and 42 staff.

Mr Buck is also executive officer of the Mornington Peninsula Cemetery Trust.He has been in the local government sector for 38 years.

A resident of Beaconsfield Upper in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, Mr Buck will unlikely miss the long commute to the shire’s Rosebud office where he is based.

He joined the shire after Victoria’s 1994 council amalgamations when 210 municipalities were reduced to 78.

The shire was created by the merger of Flinders, Mornington and Hastings shirs.

Mr Buck’s job is generally low profile but he made news in 2011 over the reappointment of shire CEO Michael Kennedy in 2004 and 2008 when a ratepayer in 2009 asked Mr Buck for Dr Kennedy’s contract.

There followed months of controversy involving the Victorian Government Solicitor, then Local Government Minister Richard Wynne, peninsula Liberal MPs Neale Burgess and David Morris, the Municipal Association of Victoria, consultants FOI Solutions, shire lawyers, two mayors (2008 mayor Anne Shaw and 2009 mayor David Gibb), and Tim Ginnane, SC, now a judge, who provided a legal opinion for the shire.

The Victorian Ombudsman, George Brouwer, ordered the shire to review its freedom of information processes and procedures, including recordkeeping and records management.

He also ordered the shire to consider counselling Mr Buck in relation to his role “in this matter� as well as Dr Kennedy.

Mr Buck received some kind of counselling, Dr Kennedy received none and in January 2010, Local Government Victoria said the CEO’s contracts were valid.

He was in the news again in late 2011 during the Victorian Electoral Commission review into shire ward boundaries and how many councillors should be in each ward.

VEC chief Steve Tully queried Mr Buck about a possible conflict of interest as a senior shire staff member when making a verbal presentation to the committee.

Mr Buck said that in discussions

with colleagues at Local Government Victoria it was indicated there was no conflict of interest.

Mr Tully responded: “If you’re happy, I’m happy. I’m just raising it because it’s so unusual ... so unusual ...

I’m not saying it’s wrong ...�

Mr Buck said that “as a practitioner of 35 years in local government I think that I should have at least a view on council structures and council wards, etcetera�. “That may be true, Mr Tully said. “As I say, I’m only putting it there for you to consider.�

Mr Buck then proceeded with his submission, telling the chairman: “Look, I don’t have a lot to add.�

Off-ramp lights THE state government will spend $480,000 to install traffic lights at the intersection of Mornington Peninsula Freeway off-ramp and Nepean Highway at Dromana.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said in the five years to December 2012, there have been eight crashes including one fatality and three serious injuries at the intersection.

He said the lights would “reduce the likelihood of motorists turning right from the off-ramp and failing to give way to eastbound traffic�.

The work would start early next year and be completed in June.

Nothing common about latest attack on cafe

By Chris Brennan A POPULAR Mornington coffee business has suffered another overnight attack six months after a pile of manure was dumped at its entrance.

But this time the owners of the Commonfolk Coffee Company were happy to be targeted, with the crafty culprit of the latest guerrilla attack leaving a message of apparent appreciation in the form of a yarn-bombed bollard.

Staff arrived at the Progress St cafe on Wednesday morning to discover the colourful knitted artwork adorning a metal post at the entrance, the location of an attack of a far more sinister nature about four months ago when they found a large pile of manure.

Owner-manager Sam Keck said that attack appeared to be linked to a dispute with some of the neighbouring businesses over parking in the narrow street, which is in an industrial area.

A petition containing 31 signatures raising concerns over car parking in the street was lodged with Mornington Peninsula Shire earlier this month.

The petitioners complained that since the business had opened earlier this year, the number of parked cars on the street had increased significantly, presenting a danger to residents as well as patrons of the coffee shop.

However, the shire’s traffic and road safety team leader Nicola Belcher told councillors at a recent council meeting the matter had been investigated and

areas, we think we’ve got it easy.

“I was working before this at Mt Martha at the shops near the beach and if you want to see parking issues, just go down there. We have it easy here.

But I guess some of the other businesses might not be used to it.”

He had been working with the other businesses in the street, which were mostly industrial or wholesale operations, to minimise problems and that the issue seemed to have been resolved.

“A couple of them have expressed their concerns about the number of cars when we first started but for the past four or five months we haven’t had any major issues,” Mr Keck said.

“Ever since we had a bit of a vandalism issue earlier this year, which we think may have been linked to the parking issues, we haven’t had any further problems.

“We’ve talked to the council on a number of occasions and also the other businesses. We’ve done everything that was required of us by the council and then some and we’ve tried to develop relationships with our clients as well as other businesses to make it as easy as possible to park.

“I think most people are happy to see successful businesses developing in Mornington and bringing trade to the area, even with any parking issues that might cause, rather than not having such problems. It’s a good problem to have in a way.”

no further action was warranted.

“The outcomes of the investigation have previously been communicated to the head petitioner,” she said.

“The customers and staff accessing the coffee shop business are entitled to park on the street and it is considered to be safe to do so.

“Restricting the parking would disadvantage all traders in the street, and is not considered to be necessary.”

She said on-street parking was available on both sides of the street and most of the businesses in the industrial area also had onsite parking for staff and customers. There was limited opportunity to increase the amount of parking within the road reserve.

“An increase in parking could be considered subject to a contributory scheme for local business and property owners. If the affected business and property owners demonstrated support for a contributory scheme, then this could be further considered, otherwise there is no further action required.”

Mr Keck said the cafe appeared to be a victim of its own success, with customers travelling from all over the peninsula to buy coffee.

“If we were quiet and the business wasn’t going particularly well we wouldn’t have anyone complaining – except maybe for me,” he said.

“But really, we don’t think there is any problem with the parking. Sure it’s busy sometimes but compared to other

Take a gander, the geese are back THEIR numbers may have been decimated earlier this year, but the geese on the artificial lakes at Civic Reserve in Mornington are on the comeback trail.

More than 82 geese and 45 ducks were caught and trucked out to lodgings on private land at Devon Meadows because the lakes were unable to sustain their growing numbers.

The birds that managed to evade capture have dutifully followed nature’s course and have been breeding.

Far outnumbered by native water hens, coots, chestnut teal and black ducks – with a sprinkling of domestic ducks – about 10 geese stand tall on the edges of the lakes.

The three surviving goslings of one pair are a natural attraction for children and dogs, although the adult birds let out warning hisses if anyone comes too close.

Passing dogs get the same treatment, with the proud parents ushering their inquisitive youngsters into the water for safety.

Burn off law changed for fire season: shire EASING of burning off rules on the peninsula is to allow residents to prepare for the coming fire season, says Mornington Peninsula Shire.

In late August, councillors led by David Gibb and Andrew Dixon voted to allow burning off without having to obtain a permit “on land less than 1500 square metres” on Fridays and Saturdays between 9am and 4pm during October this year.

Rules introduced a year ago when the shire revised its Local Laws removed “as of right” burning off on Fridays and Saturdays for residents on blocks of up to 1500 square metres (about quarter of an acre).

The shire was one of the last in the greater Melbourne area to allow burning off and the new rules were widely praised.

A shire spokeswoman said people on 1500 square metre blocks could burn off in October provided that:  No more than 1 cubic metre of vegetation is burnt at any one time.  The fire is not within 10 metres of any neighbouring dwelling.  General Fire Safety Provisions are followed.

Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said easing of restrictions would assist owners of smaller properties to reduce fine fuel in the lead-up to summer, but

warned property owners to use it responsibly.

“If you value this initiative for October 2013, do the right thing and adhere to the rules,” Cr Bowden said.

She said material to be burnt must not be wet or green. General fire safety precautions should be taken at all times.

“It’s a great chance to clean up around your property, but ensure you do it responsibly and safely, and keep your neighbours and local authorities informed,” she said.

“Council encourages residents in the first instance to compost as much material as possible, utilise the shire’s fortnightly opt-in green bin service,

and council’s twice-yearly no-charge green waste weekends.

“Materials should not be left on the property to accumulate and become a future fire hazard.”

Cr Bowden said easing the rules would benefit residents “without a car or a trailer to transport bulky waste, and residents in areas of the peninsula with extensive die-back of trees”.

General fire safety provisions include:  Giving notice to adjoining landowners and occupiers 24 hours prior to the burn.  Calling 1800 668 511 at least two hours prior to burning to log the fire with the CFA.

 Making a fire break of at least 3 metres.  Ensuring the fire is supervised by an adult at all times.  Having sufficient fire protection equipment on site at all times  Ensuring vegetation to be burnt is dead and dry (that is, no green waste).  Not burning if wind speed exceeds 20km/h.

More details are at: www.mornpen. vic.gov.au or call 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000.

Council rejects luxury kennels plan Continued from Page 1 Mr Phillips, best-known as a producer at Channel 9 for Graham Kennedy and Don Lane shows as well as Hey Hey It’s Saturday, said he and his wife were horrified when they received a letter from the shire about the plan.

“We bought this property in a quiet, rural part of Bungower Rd about 30 years ago,” he said.

“The property next door has been a pleasant horse and cattle property for more than 100 years.”

Mr Phillips said the council was concerned about traffic on Bungower Rd, now a far busier road since the opening of Peninsula Link.

“Allowing commercial development on Bungower Rd is a recipe for potential traf-

fic accidents as the road is so narrow.”

He said even without the additional traffic from Bark Avenue, “there are collisions and near-misses on an almost daily basis.

Residents have great difficulty entering and exiting their properties.”

Mr Phillips said residents and other interested parties would support the shire’s rejection of the application if the matter was taken to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Dr Tinson has 21 days to decide if the matter will go to the VCAT. Round one win: Judy Banks and Bob Phillips on their Bungower Rd property, which is next door to a proposed boarding kennel and cattery called “Bark Avenue” that would accommodate up to 90 dogs and 40 cats.

PUBLIC comment is being invited for a draft planning strategy by the Victorian Coastal Council for the state’s coastline.

The strategy is described as a “wholeof-government policy and long-term framework for planning and managing the coastal and marine environment”.

The first stage in preparing the strategy is releasing the draft for public consultation.

The draft strategy outlines a proposed approach to planning and managing the coast and marine environment.

The coastal council says the draft gives Victorians a chance to have a say on how the coast is managed.

The strategy can be found at vcc.vic.gov.au and submissions can be made by post or email to: Victorian Coastal Council, PO Box 500, East Melbourne 3002.

The nearest public meeting being held to discuss the strategy is 6-7pm on 21 October at the Silverwater Resort in San Remo.

to water security

By Chris Brennan THE Mornington Peninsula faces growing risk of flooding and increased threats to water security unless significant improvements to water management practices are made, shire councillors were told last week.

The shire’s latest water management plan, which was presented at last week’s council meeting, warns that without further investment in new sources of water, current efficiency programs would “fail to provide water security for the community past the next decade”.

Councillors voted to endorse the release of the 2013-2017 Draft Smart Water Plan for public comment for a period of six weeks to ensure it “represents community expectation for sustainable water management into the future”.

The draft plan states that, with a growing population, increased tourism, changes to land use practices and climate change pressures, traditional water supply solutions were not sufficient to provide adequate water security.

“Without actively addressing water management issues, the peninsula is likely to become increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of reduced potable [drinking] water availability, increased susceptibility to flood events and urban heat island impacts, and environmental degredation of waterways, beaches and other natural assets.”

Key targets contained in the draft

plan include a 30 per cent reduction in the shire’s 2010 potable water consumption, a 20 per cent reduction in groundwater use, and a doubling of council investment in water quality treatment measures.

The plan, which was prepared by the shire’s renewable resources department team leader, aims to ensure the shire maintains its position as a leader in sustainable water management practices.

“The Shire’s Draft Smart Water Plan sets the trajectory for achieving bestpractice environmental protection of waterways and bays, while integrating whole of water cycle management objectives,” a report prepared for council accompanying the draft plan states.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire is considered a leader in sustainable water management within the industry.

“With significant commitment to key projects such as the Boneo Recycled Water Scheme, the Mornington Community Recycled Scheme and strong advocacy for groundwater protection in the Nepean Aquifer, the shire has successfully continued to lead by example in sustainable water management.

“The shire has also reduced its water consumption by 52 per cent since 2001 and has implemented more than 100 water sensitive urban design assets, which improve the quality of stormwater entering the bays and waterways.

“The Draft Smart Water Plan integrates existing sustainable water management plans that were integral to these achievements since 2001.”

This art is for the beholders ARTISTS and craftspeople were eyeing off each other’s work at Baxter last week as preparation for a Christmas exhibition in East Melbourne.

The Johnston Collection Museum this year is exhibiting works from the peninsula in its Tales of Christmas Treasures exhibition.

The Johnston Collection of fine and decorative was left by the late William Robert Johnston in 1986.

An antique dealer and collector, Mr Johnston left his property Fairhall, in Hotham St, East Melbourne, as a museum to house the collection. The museum is run by a charitable trust set up in 1986 after Mr Johnston’s death.

Groups invited to be involved

in Christmas Treasures include The Embroiderers Guild, Victoria (Mornington Peninsula and Flinders Country group), Australasian Porcelain Art Teachers, The Bead Society of Victoria, The Bond Family, Cake Decorators Association of Victoria (Frankston), Decoupage Guild of Australia (Frankston), Embroidery Essentials, Felicity Northeast Millinery, Mornington Peninsula Artisans, Mornington Peninsula Patchworkers, Point Nepean Patchworkers and Quilters, and Upper Deck Quilting.

The Johnstone Collection organises a Christmas show each year, with works from different regions of Victoria.

Regions that have participated in the Johnston Collection Christmas tour include Bendigo, Castlemaine, Ballarat, Geelong, Wangaratta and northeast Victoria, and Warrnambool and southwest Victoria.

Tuesday’s event at Baxter Hall gave artists and craftspeople a chance to see what has been produced by other artists and groups.

The Johnston Collection includes Regency, Georgian and Louis XV antiques displayed in a domestic setting. There are daily guided tours.

Tales of Christmas Treasures: Christmas at The Johnston Collection 2013 opens Thursday 7 November and continues until 26 February. Call 9416 2515 or www.johnstoncollection.org

Ready for Christmas: Displaying their entries for an exhibition at the Johnston Collection in East Melbourne are, top left, Catherine Byatt and Jenny Williams – The Bond Girls of Mt Eliza – with their embroidery of William Johnson’s travels; top right, Helen Grierson, Lila Varce, Helen McHenry, Heather Stafford, Jennifer Davies and Carol Mcleod of the Mornington peninsula branch of the Embroiderers Guild, Victoria; and, above, Felicity Northeast of Mt Eliza.

Esso earmarks $150m for gas plant

By Mike Hast ESSO will spend $150 million on its Long Island Point fractionation plant near Hastings to take the facility to its “next stage of life”, says plant manager Steve Williams.

The money will be spent on maintenance and rebuilding including upgrading two of three gas fractionation “trains” that produce ethane, propane and butane as well as installing a system to remove mercury from water in Bass Strait gas and oil.

Mr Williams outlined the program at the company’s annual community and stakeholder dinner in Hastings earlier this month.

It was attended by about 60 people from organisations such as Mornington Peninsula Shire, schools, Victoria Police, CFA, SES, health services, community houses, Western Port Chamber of Commerce, Western Port Festival, Western Port Biosphere and Western Port Catchment Committee.

“We are looking at quite a long future for gas processing,” he said.

The plant could operate for 20, 30 or 40 more years.

“We’re here for the long term and will be investing money to keep going.

We want to keep the plant in best condition for future generations,” he said.

The system to remove mercury out of liquids coming from Esso’s new Kipper field in Bass Strait will include a water tank, pumping and injection system, pipes, and a rainwater collection system to separate rainwater from so-called “produced formation water” that comes with the gas and oil.

It will be built in the tank farm area.

Mercury in the produced formation water will be injected into crude oil where any remaining mercury will be removed by refineries, Mr Williams said.

He said the proposed works would not increase noise, air or water emissions; generate additional waste; or increase water and energy consumption.

Water discharged from Esso’s water treatment plant would continue to be done in accordance with the Environment Protection Authority’s licence to discharge.

Mr Williams said extra construction traffic was “not expected to be significant”.

Construction would start in mid2014 and take about a year.

Esso will this month start a “longterm crude storage tank refurbishment program”.

Mr Williams said the green coloured crude oil tanks at LIP that supply oil to Esso’s Altona refinery needed to be “serviced” and there would be “significant expenditure” over the next 10 plus years.

He said there would be extra traffic on roads surrounding the storage tank farm. A portable village for field work would be built.

Esso is a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Australia and its recently appointed chairman, Australian Richard Owen, told dinner guests the company had been producing gas and oil from Bass Strait for 44 years.

Mr Owen started working for Esso at Longford in Gippsland 30 years ago.

Food for thought: At the Esso community dinner in Hastings were Cr Antonella Celi, left, ExxonMobil Australia chairman Richard Owen, shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden, Cr David Garnock and Long Island Point plant manager Steve Williams.

“We were producing 500,000 barrels of oil a day when I joined. Nowadays it’s 50,000 barrels, but we’re concentrating on gas and investing $5 billion to bring Kipper on line,” he said.

Kipper would produce enough gas for a city of one million people for 35 years, he said.

Mr Owen said the company was looking at further opportunities for oil and gas in Australia including working with Chevron in Western Australia to

extract liquefied natural gas (LNG).

LNG is predominantly methane and is converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport.

Mr Owen answered several questions from guests. Asked about the company’s pipeline for crude oil, which runs from Western Port to refineries at Altona and Geelong, and was built in 1972, Mr Owen said it had some external corrosion and Esso was currently deciding if it would be replaced.

Western Port Catchment Committee executive officer Ian Stevenson asked if Esso was involved in the proposed expansion of the Port of Hastings into a container port.

Mr Owen said Esso wanted to maintain “the safety and integrity of our operation” and Steve Williams said the company wanted to ensure the buffer zone was “kept secure” around its Long Island Point fractionation plant near Hastings.

What’s Happening at Bentons Square I am so please to say that Deganis are now open for Dinner on Friday and Saturdays nights until 10.00pm. So why not bring the family down and enjoy.

Also School Holidays Activities have started for this week at Bentons from 11.00am – 3.00pm Monday to Friday.

All FREE for the children.

Ready for the real thing: Frankston Hospital doctors undergoing training for the RESUS4KIDS program included Enoch Lee, Ramani Kone, Kathy McMahon, Cara Baillie and medical student Muhammad Bin Haji Adi.

New program to save the children MEDICAL staff at Peninsula Health are being taught a new program designed to resuscitate children who have suffered a respiratory or cardiac arrest.

The RESUS4KIDS program is designed for health care workers attending to a child within 10 minutes of a collapse.

Peninsula Health is the first Victorian health service to use the resuscitation program based on

Jacqueline Conquest Accredited Family Law Specialist Collaborative family lawyer Providing better solutions for separating couples Family Law, Wills & Estate Planning

Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines.

The one-day course also teaches health professionals how to work together as a team.

The program has an e-learning module and a short, practical component.

“Children are not just little adults and therefore it is important for the safety and care of children that staff have access to good quality, evidencebased and user-friendly achievable education,”

Maree Abbott Centre Manager

Benton Square Noodle Bar Phone: 5975 5342

paediatrics clinical director Dr Kathy McMahon said. “The e-learning component has been designed to be implemented in stages.

“You don’t have to do it all in one session.

However, it must be completed before you attend the practical course.”

Observers came from Southern Health, The Alfred hospital, Barwon Health and Eastern Health.

FEATURE PROPERTY

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

Luxury that’s all yours THE sophisticated design of this near-new brick-veneer home is hard to beat. Set on a 798-square metre block in a new sub-division full of quality homes, this versatile home has a clever floor plan incorporating three living zones that allow new owners to adjust the living space to their requirements, rather than yield to convention. Living areas at the front and back of the home are a great example of this freedom to choose. A room at the front of the home would be great for a formal lounge or rumpus room and the same options apply to a second area that leads out to an undercover entertaining area at the rear of the home. The main open-plan living area features an elegant galley-style kitchen, complete with stone benchtops. Stainless-steel appliances include a wall oven and dishwasher.

There is also a walk-in pantry. An adjoining dining and casual living zone overlooks lowmaintenance gardens that have been landscaped with yucca plants. A nice contrast to the gleaming white interior are the black plantation shutters that have been used in the second lounge at the rear of the home and along the hallway that leads to a handy study area outside the bedrooms. Three bedrooms have built-in robes, while the larger main bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite. Outside is a superb undercover entertaining deck – with a built-in six-person spa – that overlooks a neat bark garden and play area. A great feature of the property is an expansive sealed area at the front of the home that provides off-street parking for a number of vehicles, in addition to the double garage. Presented in perfect condition in a wonderful new estate to match, any family wanting to upgrade and plan for future growth should act quickly here.

Mornington News 24 September 2013

Healthy Living Get some spring in your step SPRING means warmer weather, which usually brings more social activities like barbeques, picnics, functions and, of course, our famous Spring Racing Carnival. It’s also often a trigger for most of us to start getting in to shape for summer. All of these mean more time on your feet, either through partying or exercising, which can also mean sore feet and legs.

So what can you do to make sure your feet are up to all that Spring activity?

Dr. Paul Dowie, Sports Podiatrist and founder of one of Australia’s largest and most experienced sports podiatry practices, Foot + Leg Pain Clinics, has some helpful hints:  Thongs, slip-ons and high heels can all have an adverse affect on your feet and legs so wear properly fitted, supportive shoes with lower heels, whenever possible.  Always wear activity appropriate shoes, especially when exercising  Foot and leg pain are symptoms suggesting that something is not right, so always have them checked by an experienced sports podiatrist.

There may be a simple solution but you need to get correct advice and treatment  Don’t buy shoes requiring a “break-in period”. Shoes should be comfortable immediately.  Shop for footwear later in the day. Feet can swell by up to 10% during a day.  If you have orthotics, try them on with prospective footwear.  Be careful of off-the-shelf orthotics, insoles/ arch support products. Only devices prescribed by a podiatrist who has expertise in prescription orthotic therapy should be used to ensure effectiveness and safety  If you need to wear high heels, try a wedge shoe, wider heel or thicker strap shoe for more stability. Of course lower heels are best.

 If in doubt get it checked out. The first signs of underlying health issues can show themselves initially in the feet, so it’s worth getting any pain, discomfort or abnormalities checked by an experienced sport podiatrist.

Be aware that neck, back, hip, knee and ankle pain can all result from bad foot posture continually pulling your body out of alignment. Pay attention to your body, be aware of it’s signs and symptoms and look after it by getting pain or discomfort checked. Foot and leg pain and concerns are common but are often quickly resolved with the right treatment and advice.

If you have foot or leg pain or concerns you can see Dr. Dowie at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza, Berwick or Brighton. Mention this article when booking for $50 off initial consultations. Ph: 1300 328 300.

Get anxiety under control ANXIETY disorders are the most common mental health disorders in Australia, affecting nearly one in seven adults, most of them women.

An uncomfortable feeling of fear or tension is a normal human response to a lot of situations – at a healthy level stress can help us to get through tough situations because it heightens our senses and makes us alert.

Anxiety disorders develop when stress levels spiral into feelings that seem overwhelming and unmanageable.

Anxiety can reveal itself in many ways, including irritability, constant worry, unshakeable pessimism, becoming easily upset, perfectionism, being argumentative or socially withdrawn.

Physical symptoms might include a dry mouth, sleep issues, difficulty concentrating, muscle tension, headaches and sexual dysfunction.

Often people suffer in silence, without knowing support is available; others endure anxiety without even realising they have it.

Dr Michelle Woolhouse at Peninsula Holistic General Practice describes anxiety as a multi-

layered condition that can be supported in many ways.

“As well as psychological support, mind–body medicine – including exercise, nutrition, relaxation techniques, mindfulness and acupuncture – plays a key role in the treatment of anxiety,” Dr Woolhouse explains.

“For many people, the missing piece of the puzzle is understanding the role foods and nutrients play in the health of the mind and mood.

“Understanding that certain foods can make anxiety worse, while other foods can be used to help calm the mind, is vitally important.”

Together with her colleagues at Peninsula Holistic General Practice, Dr Woolhouse works to develop her patient’s resilience and adaptability.

“The good news,” Dr Woolhouse continues, “is that most people can learn how to manage their anxiety, especially if they receive help early.”

For more information on anxiety disorders, or to make an appointment, contact Peninsula Holistic General Practice on 03 5986 4229 or email at reception@peninsulaholistic.com.au.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

America getting a crash course in Australia, man injured in landslide one of the employees, named James, while working at the Naval Base.

While on duty, a fall of earth occurred, which fell on James. Luckily although severe enough to cause the unfortunate man intense pain, nothing serious occurred. After receiving the attention of the first aid attendant, we are pleased to report the patient is progressing satisfactorily. *** THE report of the Mornington race club meeting was received too late for publication, but will appear next issue. A programme of 7 events was drawn up, and the prize money was increased from ÂŁ72 to ÂŁ81. *** MR Leslie Westaway, of Somerville, had a shock one day last week. A jibbing pony started off suddenly, when he slipped and fell. The wheel of the vehicle went over his leg, and somewhat bruised it. He is now limping round at his work. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co., will hold their usual monthly market at Tanti on Monday, October 6th. On Thursday, October 9th, the same firm will conduct a special horse sale at the Tanti Corporation Yards when a good yarding is expected. *** MR Jos. Thompson, of Crib Point, notifies by advertisement in this issue that he has now a full stock of timber, paints and oils, and general ironmongery, and that he is prepared to give estimates for all classes of work. *** MR Rintoul, a poultry expert recently appointed by the Department of Agriculture, is to deliver a lecture at the Methodist Church, Langwarrin, on

Monday evening, the 29th inst, under the auspices of the Progress Association. As the lecturer has such a world wide knowledge of his subject, which is to be on the hatching and rearing of chickens and all poultry, all interested should attend. The lecture starts at 8 p.m., and is free to all. *** THE committee of the Somerville Mechanicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is to be congratulated on the new departure it made on Wednesday night of last week, when arrangements were made with Mr Le Souef to give his lecture on the bird life of the islands off the coast of Queensland and the islands in Bass Straits. There was a good attendance of both young and the more matured.

The pictures manipulated by Mr Searle were with one exception taken from life and were most interesting.

This class of entertainment is a treat and the committee are to be complimented for this move in an educational direction. A vote of thanks was moved and carried by acclamation, to the lecturer and his assistant. *** CLARENCE H. Smith, Limited, Ardrossan, South Australia, advertises in our columns that agents are wanted everywhere to sell on commission the famous Smith ploughs. *** THE next of the series of socials in connection with St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Frankston, will take place in the Mechanicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hall on Wednesday evening next. A good programme has been prepared, and an enjoyable evening is assured. *** THE death occurred at Somerville on Tuesday, 23rd inst., of Mr Henry

Joseph Noble, aged 54 years. The deceased gentleman was a resident of the district for many years, and was well known and highly respected throughout the Peninsula. He leaves a widow and five children to mourn their loss, and we extend to them our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. *** THE first train to travel along the new line which is in construction from Crib Point railway station, to the Naval Base Depot ran on Wednesday.

This line is to be used for Base purposes only, and is between two and three miles in length. *** THE weekly assembly that is being held every Tuesday in the local hall as well patronised last week, it being the monthly long night. These dances, which are thoroughly enjoyable, are the means of bringing many friends and neighbours together. *** THE concert and dance held in the hall on Thursday by the Hastings Variety Company was a great success. A full report will appear in next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issue. *** DEEP sympathy is expressed by many of the old residents on hearing of the death of Mr H. Peddle, the much valued postmaster at Hastings.

Mr Peddle was much esteemed by those who had a distance to travel.

When doing any business he was always willing to help them in any way. *** THE annual meeting of the cricket club was rather hurriedly called, and was held on Wednesday, 17th inst.

It was intended to wait until after

CO SE N N RV O TR IC AC E TS

Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 September 1913.

MR Fred Davison, President of the Australian Society of America, has contributed an article to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big Ausâ&#x20AC;? in which he contends that if exhibits of Australian products were displayed in America, lantern slides of Australian country and towns shown, and interesting lectures delivered, the result would be a much more correct knowledge of Australia by Americans, a substantial increase of business between the two countries, and genuine settlers for the wasteland in Australia. Two hundred thousand Americans leave the United States every year to settle in Canada.

But they do not leave because they get a vague notion that Canada is a pretty good place to go to. Last year Canada signed 7000 advertising contracts with the newspapers. She has exhibited lecturers in the States, and the lecturers get what they go after. Canada counts that the settler is worth paying good money for, and she pays it, not haphazardly, but systematically. She wants the settler, and she secures him. Australia, he adds, must do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has very much more to offer than has Canada, only the folks have nothing but wrong notions about Australia, while the Canadian sees to it that they know what there is to know about Canada - if it be good. Thousands of Americans - genuine settlers - can be induced to settle in the Northern Territory if the country and its prospects are made known to them.â&#x20AC;? *** AN accident happened last week to

the first meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association had been held, but time would not permit any further delay. About a dozen members were present, and the necessary arrangements for carrying on the club for another season were completed.

The secretary (Mr A. E. Hollier) read the annual report, balance sheet and averages for the past season, all of which pointed to the flourishing condition of the club. The highest batting average recorded by Mr J. D. Grant, was as follows:- 14 innings, 396 runs, highest score 74, not out 2, average 33. The following splendid bowling average was put up by Mr Fred Floyd:- 14 overs, 29 maidens, 808 runs, 52 wickets, average 592.

The balance sheet showed a credit balance of ÂŁ3 11s 11d. *** BEFORE Messrs P. Cohen P.M, J. G. Barrett, G. Flood, E. L McCaughan, A. E. Bates, E . Duffus and Dr Somers Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.P, Mrs O. Gorman v. W. Hendricks, claim for ÂŁ1 for board and lodging. An order was made for the amount with 5s costs. James White sued Thomas Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, claim for ÂŁ12 amount due for a pony sold and delivered. Mr McInerney appeared for complainant and Mr Cook for defendant. This case was heard before a local Bench of Magistrates on the 11th inst., and as they could not agree the case was adjourned in order that witnesses who were unable to attend, and it being also Mr Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. After several witnesses were called on both sides, the case was dismissed with ÂŁ5 costs against complainant. A number of renewals of stage, carriage and carriersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; licenses were granted.

The meaning of existence (and other short stories)

By Stuart McCullough

The Ugly Truth About Being Ugly

By Stuart McCullough IMAGINE it. There you are, minding your own business when, out of nowhere, the world’s media descends like rain, wanting to know everything about you. Not because you’ve done something spectacular or have discovered anything miraculous, but just for being yourself. It would be unnerving to say the least. But what might seem intrusive becomes downright insulting when the reason for all this unsolicited attention becomes clear – you have just been voted by a substantial margin the ‘world’s ugliest animal’. It would be difficult to know how to respond.

Spare a thought, then, for Australia’s own ‘Blobfish’.

The circumstances may not be ideal but, when all’s said and done, everyone loves a winner. Being crowned the world champion of anything will invariably open up a bunch of opportunities, including for this previously underappreciated creature. It begs the obvious question: if being crowned Miss Universe can get you a spot on a travel show and a sponsorship with a major department store, what bounty of riches awaits the Blobfish? Host of Deal or No Deal? Guest judge on The X Factor? Perhaps even a role on Neighbours? Let’s face it – the cast has sorely lacked diversity over the years.

They may have had a ‘Toadfish’, but I don’t believe they’ve ever had a ‘Blobfish’. I, for one, look forward to the day when the Blobfish strides

across the stage to collect a Logie for ‘Best New Talent’.

If it were up to me, I’d ensure that Australia’s newest hero steered clear of the soaps in favour of something with a little more class. Like TV’s The Bachelor. Forget hauling out some spruced-up male model with chiseled good looks, dimples, designer stubble and abdominals that resemble a slate roof. Being good looking has been done to death and, quite frankly, is as dull as cleaning your ears. In fact, there’s something inherently tiresome about conventionally handsome peo-

ple; so much so that’s it’s bordering on cliché. I’d go so far as to say that shows like The Bachelor suffer greatly because everyone involved is (at least externally speaking) horrifically good-looking. It’s time to mess with the formula. What it needs, more than anything else, is a different perspective. Imagine the Blobfish; dressed in a tuxedo, taking prospective life partners out on dates and dishing out roses like nobody’s business. Now that’s a television show worth watching.

But for all the perks that sudden fame can bring, it’s worth remember-

ing that the poor old Blobfish did not shamelessly seek out all this attention. Presumably it did not nominate itself as the ‘world’s ugliest animal’.

It wasn’t even an intruder in the Big Brother house. No, the Blobfish has become famous purely by chance.

Plucked both from obscurity and the ocean somewhere off the coast of Queensland, it now has to defend itself to a world obsessed with physical appearance.

That said; the humble Blobfish is used to pressure. That’s because when it isn’t busy being famous and winning awards, it lives in waters between six and twelve hundred metres deep.

At that depth, the pressure is dozens of times greater than at sea level and many creatures, including other members of the Big Brother house, would be unable to survive. This, of course, is not necessarily a bad thing.

The Blobfish, however, thrives in this environment by being a gelatinous mass that expends as little energy as possible on fripperies such as swimming. What it hasn’t got in muscles it more than makes up for by not being a fussy eater, consuming any edible matter that happens to float in front of it. As it happens, I took almost exactly the same approach during my teenage years.

Just because the Blobfish is unlikely to be confused for George Clooney is no reason to hate him. Besides, what he lacks in traditional good looks he

more than makes up for with personality. And that goes double for the Blobfish. As for me, I feel that this pink, gelatinous mass that floats along the bottom of the ocean may well be something of a kindred spirit. So before we get caught up debating what is and isn’t ugly, allow me to be the first to say: enough!

It’s time for us to lighten up. We don’t all need to be supermodels and it would be a horrible world if we were. It’s all a matter of preference anyway. Ugliness, just like beauty, is very much in the eye of the beholder.

There’s no need to accept someone else’s opinion as to what is or isn’t aesthetically pleasing. Beauty is wherever you find it. Even at the bottom of the ocean. I, for one, say give me a Blobfish over The Bachelor any day of the week. Should it happen to be accompanied by chips and a light salad, then so much the better.

So to any Blobfish that might be reading this, don’t let others bring you down. I think you’re terrific. I believe you should be celebrated rather than derided and I’d like to see you added to our coat of arms at the earliest opportunity. Why? Because, in a funny kind of way, you represent us all. In truth, there’s a little bit of Blobfish in each and every person. Well done on your award. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The doctor is in at Manyung Gallery Sorrento DOCTOR of creative arts Bruce Earles opened an exhibition of his colourful paintings at the newly refurbished Sorrento arm of Manyung Gallery on Saturday 21 September.

Sorrento now boasts 10 ‘art spaces’, some seasonal.

“Manyung’s presence in Sorrento enhances and contributes to the precinct’s growing recognition as a regional focal point for viewing art, particularly works on canvas,” gallery director David WemyssSmith said.

Earles’ established a reputation, on the peninsula during the 80s, for his astute brushwork which sometimes trumpeted environmental themes. At the

time he was a member of the Roar Studios Collective in Fitzroy.

Today, with enduring creativity, his works are often held as investment pieces that are also especially appropriate for brightening up dull wall space. Highly coloured, highly textured, busy, joyful birds-eye views of urban life.

Fleeting images of city experiences in a seaside setting: birds, dogs, trees, ships, planes and factories. Simple images combined with complex structure, creating a harmony, in total, that is often uplifting and encourages a curiosity to closely view.

Manyung at Sorrento is at 113A Ocean Beach Road. Call 9982 0640. manyunggallery.com.au

Peninsula League 2013 round-up: Eagles eye off back-to-back flags

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly EDITHVALE-Aspendale coach Troy Shannon is already looking forward to the 2014 season, just a week after tasting the ultimate success in Peninsula League football.

After celebrating a sensational come from behind victory against Bonbeach in the Grand Final, Shannon said the focus was now firmly on 2014.

“I was reappointed a month before the finals for 2014 and we are already a fair way down the track with a couple of recruits for next year,” Shannon said.

“I have no doubt that we’ll be stronger again next season.

“There was certainly some chat immediately after the premiership from some of the guys, talking about retiring. However, later in the week, the talk shifted towards going back-toback.”

Shannon said 2013 was a sensational year for the club, coming from the wooden spoon the year before.

“A lot of people wouldn’t have known that of the 22 who played in the premiership, 18 of those guys played juniors with our club,” Shannon said.

“It just goes to show how quickly things can turn around if you recruit wisely.

“Matthew Kremmer, Drew Westfield and Markham Johnson were the three big blokes we needed up forward, down back and in the ruck. All played a key role in us winning the flag. Adam Budge was the big, strong midfielder we needed.

“We recruited smartly for what we needed and the results didn’t surprise.”

Away from the emotion that was

grand final day, Shannon said he never lost faith in his players winning the Grand Final.

Down by five goals at three quarter time and with players appearing injured or sick, Edithvale booted six goals in the last quarter to overrun the Sharks.

It was an amazing feat.

“We always thought that if we were close enough to them at three quarter time, we could give it a real shake.

“I just told the players to believe in themselves, don’t leave anything in the tank and try anything and everything to get a spark.

“We had a dozen players in the side who had lost two grand finals before and they didn’t want to make it three.

From the 16-28 minute mark of the last quarter, the Eagles soared to new levels.

Although he tried to play it down, Shannon also masterminded some changes that contributed to the win.

He put his A-graders in Tim Mavric, Steve Mannix and Tim Mannix on the ball, Nick Connellan went from full back to full forward, Kremmer was moved out to centre half forward and Brent Bowden was moved to centre half back.

“Well, in those situations, you’re either a genius or a mug,” Shannon said.

“On reflection, all of those moves paid off for us. However, if we lost, people would have been asking why I did it.

“They seemed like logical moves to make, given we had some blokes carrying gastro into the game and the likes of Johnson and Nathan Dunn were injured.

“It all happened for us in 10 minutes of footy.

“An early goal to Connellan gave us the hope and then I think things really changed when Mavric gave Mark Tyrell a 10-metre start and chased him down on the wing.

“The boys lifted, the crowd got excited and we dominated the remainder of the game.

“It was a memorable victory and a great week of celebrations, but now it’s all about 2014.

It will be interesting to see what the fallout of the loss will be at Bonbeach.

The Sharks had defeat snatched from the jaws of victory and there would have been plenty of soul searching through the week.

The finger has been unfairly pointed directly at the coach Steve Capp, who some believe allowed his side to be overrun.

The fact is that Capp had good reason to believe in his team’s structures – they had, after all, won 10 in a row.

They had also run over many teams in 2013.

Momentum is hard to get back once a side and the crowd is up and about.

Halfway through the last quarter, the Sharks were still four goals in front.

The club as a whole should be hurting after the Grand Final loss, not out looking for a scapegoat.

The big talk if the Sharks won the Grand Final was that the likes of Ricky Ferraro and Shane McDonald would chase the big money that has been offered to them over the years. It now appears they may stay to see if they can achieve the ultimate success with their home club.

Third placed Frankston YCW is well down the path of interviewing coaches.

Two-time premiership coach Gavin Artico was seen arriving at the club’s decision makers through the week.

Whilst there is plenty of speculation about the likes of Byron and Anthony Barry, the strong word is that they are not leaving YCW. That goes for the likes of Kyle Hutchison also, who is rumoured to be on the shopping list of many clubs.

The same can’t be said though of forwards David Bodley and Michael Chaplin, along with a couple of younger players like Rhys Johnson, who are in talks with opposition clubs already.

Mt Eliza will be looking to add some depth to their team in the off-season, as well as building up a couple of their good Under 18s. There are plenty of them.

The future is bright at the Redlegs for a few more years to come and like Edi-Asp, they just need a couple of structural players to shore them up.

They lost three of the game’s best last season in Michael Lourey, Sam Lloyd and Scott Simpson. Put them back in and they will challenge for the title again.

Mornington needs to add some more experience and harder bodies to its list if it is to move up the ladder next season.

Self-belief is something that has been missing for the Dogs for the past six years but they got this back in 2013 and with some hard work in the offseason, they will be there or thereabouts again.

Pines missed out on finals by a whisker and had a very good season.

Off-field the club is in good shape and on-field, they are extremely well coached by Steve Ryan. Recruiting hasn’t been easy for the Pythons over the years but they’ll need to improve this to make a move next season.

Karingal is at a crossroads. Coach Brendan Dunne has taken the job at Hastings and a number of their stars are already fielding calls from opposition clubs. These names include Steve Charalambous, Cal Dixon, Chris Hay, David Hirst and Jarrod Eames.

Quite simply, with no juniors coming through, the Bulls cannot afford to lose even one player.

Hirst has applied for the Karingal coaching job and many believe that if he does not get it, he’ll take the Somerville coaching role in Nepean League.

Langwarrin can expect to be the big movers in 2014. The Kangas’ second half to the 2013 season was very good. They will appoint a new senior coach within the week. They plan to move heaven and earth to get back a number of the juniors that it lost two seasons ago.

Seaford is also looking for a new coach. The Tigers had very strong reserves (with an average age of 22) and their Under 18s finished on top of the ladder. A good coach will see them climb up the ladder again. Braeden Irving is tipped to join his brothers at the Dolphins.

Chelsea is looking for a coach. The big word already at the Gulls is that former Melbourne and Brisbane player, Travis Johnstone, is joining the Gulls. Johnstone has also been linked to Bonbeach.

Nepean League 2013 round-up: Sorrento sacks coach of the year

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly IT is always interesting to sit back and watch the fall-out of a Grand Final loss.

After going through the season undefeated, Sorrento was smashed in the Grand Final by a side (Dromana) that was never going to achieve anything less than winning the flag in 2013.

Sorrento played its grand final against Rosebud in the preliminary the week before and had no gas left in the tank.

Was this the fault of the coach?

Apparently so, because the Sorrento Football Club called Nepean Team of the Year coach Nick Claringbold on Tuesday night and told him his services were no longer required.

Claringbold is the coach who was behind the moves that saw Sorrento win the flag last season, whilst being the off-field man in charge when Troy Schwarze was ‘officially’ the coach.

Sorrento’s reason for sacking Claringbold?

“We want to move forward next season with a playing coach.”

Now, we told our readers a month ago that Sorrento was looking at midfielder Leigh Treeby to take the reins next season.

However, despite all the speculation, which was gained more traction two weeks ago, Claringbold was never spoken to by the club.

Not once was he asked to come in and stake his claim for the job. Despite the media reports, never was he called to be told the “club was going through a process”.

Instead, Claringbold had to be given filtered information from friends at the club to understand what was going on.

This is extremely poor management from a club that consistently pounds its chest about how well it does things.

Regardless, Claringbold was typically professional when he spoke with us after his sacking.

“I’m obviously very disappointed but the club wanted to move in a certain direction,” Claringbold said.

“They want a playing coach and unfortunately I’m not young enough to play anymore,” he joked.

Asked how he felt about the media knowing more about what was going

on than him, again he replied with: “that was very disappointing also”.

There’s a lot of irony in football and upon hearing of Claringbold’s sacking, premiers Dromana were quickly on the telephone.

Claringbold met with the Tigers last Friday and is believed to be the front runner for the job, vacated by Gavin Artico.

Artico said Claringbold was an outstanding coach and would be the ideal person to take over at Tigerland.

Claringbold confirmed he was “catching up for a coffee” with the Tigers and showed genuine interest in the role.

“I certainly want to continue coaching,” Claringbold said.

On Sorrento, it is believed that Troy Schwarze has also thrown his hat into the ring for their vacant coaching position. Treeby is in Bali on holidays.

Also, there was big rumour that two of their high profile players got into a scuffle at a club function in the past week. Meanwhile, Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan are heading interstate to play together.

At Dromana, it appears the likes of Ryan Slocombe and Rikki Johnson will go around again, which is great news for the new coach. However, brothers Jay and Matt Neratzoglou may be on the move after Matt was left out of the premiership side.

Third placed Rosebud was a heartbeat away from a grand final berth this season and only needs a few top-ups to take it to the next level in 2014. Matthew Payne is expected to head back to Queensland, which would be a massive loss for the club.

Frankston Bombers finished the season in horrible form and need to have a big pre-season to progress next season.

Discipline was a massive issue with the club in the second half of the season.

Club legends Nathan and Ryan Lonie, Brian O’Carroll and Haydn Moore have all retired. These four were in the best six players at the club this season. Jay Page is a star but there’s no guarantees he’ll stay with the Bombers either.

Pearcedale is already in negotiation

with some players and is confident that it will not lose anyone off the list that finished fourth after the home and away season. There was some talk about Travis Sauer retiring.

Ben Cadd has not yet been reappointed but it is expected to be a formality.

Crib Point is without a coach after Dave Lawson left the top chair. The Magpies have been so close in the past couple of seasons but couldn’t take the next step. Hopefully the players stick together and they can appoint a playing coach in the coming weeks.

There’s a bit happening at Hastings. Former Karingal coach Brendan Dunne is an outstanding leader and will bring plenty to the table. However, it appears he’s going to have a tough time keeping Tony Mirabella, Andy Kiely and Daniel Wischart, while club legend Jason Kestle is also rumoured to be on the move.

Somerville offers the plum coaching job in Nepean League. The Eagles were very competitive this season and just need some experience to go with the abundance of junior talent. Its Under 18s won the flag. Former coach Leigh Stewart, who sits on 299 games, is believed to be happy staying in the Eagles’ nest. One wonders whether Crib Point has given him a call?

Don’t expect to see Rye in the bottom half of the draw next season. The Demons are on a recruiting drive and its list is said to be keen to have a big pre-season. 2012 league goal kicking machine Justin Van Unen is said to be the number one target for the Demons.

Red Hill will also be a big mover in 2014. Three-time premiership coach Tony Blackford is now at the helm and Andrew Brady is his right hand man.

Together, they have a little black book with plenty of footy numbers and Blackford has already spoken to more than 30 possible recruits.

Tyabb has appointed Ray Hallal as senior coach and according to the club, they are very financial and in a position to recruit. Time will tell.

Devon Meadows was the underachiever of the league last season but is expected to recruit well in the offseason and make its way up the ladder in 2014.
