LFRAIDTAYES

PENINSULA HOMEMAKER CENTRE Bargains to be had at Bedshed BEDSHED Mornington is celebrating its seventh birthday with up to 30 per cent off furniture until Sunday 18 November, followed by specials in the lead up to Christmas.

The bedding, mattress and furniture store was an original tenant when the Peninsula Homemaker Centre opened and is the only bedding specialist still going strong.

Part of the secret is that Bedshed Mornington is an independent family business run by Alan and Maree with their son Elton and his partner Joanne.

Alan, who has 40 years’ experience in bedding and furniture retail, said the business employs local staff and has its own delivery service.

“We’re in charge of our service; we don’t rely on anyone else,” he said.

“We believe in great service, a great product and we go the extra mile.”

While the business has all the advantages of

Mornington

Advertising feature

the Bedshed franchise, the team retains the freedom to buy the right stock for its clientele.

This has enabled Joanne, with her flair for design, to build the best linen collection of any Bedshed in Victoria.

Bedshed offers immediate delivery throughout the Mornington Peninsula and regular distribution across Melbourne.

With a large storage area at the shop and two warehouses for stock, 90 per cent of the orders can be filled the same week.

Alan reveals the Bedshed Mornington returns policy: “If you buy here you will always return and buy again.”

Bedshed is at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre in Mornington, phone 5973 6333. Opening hours are 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Thursday, 9am to 9pm Friday, 9am to 5pm Saturday and 10am to 5pm Sunday.

Ride away with a Christmas deal TAKE all the stress and worries out of Christmas with a bike built by qualified bike fitters and mechanics at Sealy’s Cycles in Mornington.

The shop at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre is taking laybys for Christmas and will store bikes for you until the big day arrives.

With the biggest range of kids and family bikes on the Mornington Peninsula, Sealy’s is the place for everything from your toddler’s first wheels to the finest wheels in the weekend pack.

Owned and operated by the Seal family for decades and now under the care of Peter Seal, Sealy’s has the experience to help you to make the right choice; whether it be training wheels, a BMX, mountain bike, road bike or hybrid.

The store also sells all bike and cycling acces-

sories, including helmets.

Among the staff are a number of keen riders and semi-professionals, including a mechanic for one of the National Road Series teams. The store has a full workshop offering repairs and servicing of all makes and models.

Peter is also busy sealing a deal for a new store in Frankston following the recent closure of Sealy’s Beach St shop. While the location cannot yet be revealed, stay tuned for a new Sealy’s Cycles in Frankston in the new year.

Sealys is at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre in Mornington, phone 5975 2444, www. sealyscycles.com.au. Opening times are 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm Saturday and 10am to 4m Sunday.

PENINSULA HOMEMAKER CENTRE Australia’s biggest midweek classic car event THE annual Santa Cruz at Mornington’s Peninsula Homemaker Centre from 5.308.30pm on Tuesday 4 December is hosted by the Mornington-based car club Let’s Go Cruisin’.

The event has grown each year to become the biggest midweek classic car show in Australia.

Last year 600 plus cars valued at more than $20 million attracted more than 3000 people.

Santa Claus will appear, bringing joy to

children. There will be live entertainment and the Sober Mule Cafe will be open.

Mayor is Lynn Bowden

MPNEWS (1300 676 397) or email: team@mpnews.com.au www.mpnews.com.au

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council’s new mayor is Cr Lynn Bowden.

Cr Bowden, 63, was elected on Monday night soon after the swearingin of the new council for 2012-16 following the election on 27 October.

The first mayor from the Western Port side of the shire since Brian Stahl in 2005-06, Cr Bowden was elected to the council in 2008 and represents Watson Ward, which covers Somerville, Baxter and parts of Moorooduc, Tyabb and Pearcedale.

A Somerville resident for 28 years, Cr Bowden is married to Ron Bowden, who was the Liberal member for South Eastern Province in the Victorian Parliament 1992-2006.

Cr Bowden, a retired administration manager, also was a major player in the Liberal Party as chair of the influential women’s section of the party.

The new mayor, who will earn $78,000 a year, was re-elected to Watson Ward with 57.38 per cent of the vote after distribution of preferences, defeating Joshua Sinclair, a 20-yearold member of the ALP who is studying a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Laws at Monash.

Cr Bowden campaigned on better maintenance for public areas in her

‘New age’ showing for art NEXT year’s Mornington Art Exhibition held by the Rotary Club of Mornington is entering a new era involving contemporary and traditional technology.

The club will provide art show information online and in the publications of principal partner, the Mornington Peninsula News Group (publisher of The News).

The exhibition will feature more than 800 paintings from peninsula, Victorian and interstate artists.

In entering the world of modern media, the art show information and a display of paintings entered will be available at www.morningtonartshow.com.au Tickets for the opening night on Friday 18 January can also be bought online or from Farrell’s Book Shop, corner Main and Barkly streets, Mornington, or at Ken Cameron’s Menswear, 185 Main St, Mornington.

Due to maintenance work on Peninsula Community Theatre, the show may be required to move to The Studio, which is the building opposite the theatre.

The feature artist will be Jane Henderson who paints peninsula seascapes and coastal scenes.

Mornington Rotary was the establishment home of the Australian Rotary Health Fund, now one of the largest health research based funds in Australia. The initiative came from Rotarian Ian Scott in response to his concerns over the loss of young babies from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Opening night: Many paintings were sold on the opening night of this year’s Mornington Rotary Art Show, the club’s 40th.

The annual art exhibition is second only in size to the Camberwell Rotary Art show held later in the year.

The exhibition has raised more than $700,000 in 41 years for use on local and international Rotary projects.

The clock tower in Main St, Mornington, and three gazebo shelters have been recent projects funded from the art show.

Alan Harwood is art show director and believes the show is “again on track to produce an outstanding art exhibition in January 2013”.

Prospective sponsors can call Mr Harwood on 0413 082 992 or Peter Lawrence on 0418361001.

Marathon man on course for desert run DUNCAN Rusby’s next effort to raise money for cancer research will be a pushover compared to what awaits him next April.

On 13 December he is holding a charity golf tournament at Mornington Golf Course, but five months later he plans to be competing in the Marathon Des Sables, a 250-kilometre footrace across the Sahara Desert.

Rusby, a 38-year-old of Mt Eliza, wants to raise $15,000 for Yorkshire Cancer Research and “demonstrate to my young sons that they can achieve anything they set their minds to”.

He has so far raised more than $6000 through sponsorship, personal donations and fundraising events.

Rusby is also asking businesses for sponsorship and planning other fundraising events.

The Marathon Des Sables “ultramarathon” is run over six days in 120-degree heat.

Rusby will run with a backpack carrying his food and water.

His training has included competing in the Australian Outback Marathon on 28 July, an event he described as a “short 42km run across the red sands of the Australian Outback, with views of Uluru [Ayers Rock] and Kata Tjuta [the Olgas] around every corner”.

He has also previously completed the London, Paris, Sydney and Melbourne marathons to raise money for charity.

Killing snakes is a risky business

By Mike Hast PEOPLE trying to kill snakes are risking injury, says a Mornington Peninsula professional snake catcher.

Barry Goldsmith of Morningtonbased Snakes and Wildlife Control has been called out to eight properties in recent weeks where homeowners have killed or attempted to kill a snake using a variety of implements.

Four snakes that had been mortally wounded had to be euthanised.

Trying to kill a snake was far riskier than leaving it, he said.

Snakes are on the move following recent warmer weather with Mr Goldsmith and other snake catchers in the region coming into the busy time of the year.

“People need to be aware snakes are moving around looking for food and water; if you see a snake in your garden, leave it alone and you won’t have a problem,” Mr Goldsmith said.

“Snakes are inoffensive unless they are provoked.”

Mr Goldsmith has been rescuing snakes throughout the southeast and on the peninsula since September.

There have been callouts at Portsea, Rosebud, Balnarring, Hastings, Mt Eliza and several in Cranbourne.

He had to “rescue” a tiger snake at a Portsea barbecue where “bikini-clad women and men in shorts” had run into a house.

He saved a young couple in Mt Eliza who had a snake in their front yard. When Mr Goldsmith arrived and checked the interloper, the couple was embarrassed to find out they had been frightened by a rubber snake that someone had thrown over the fence.

Gotcha: Snake catcher Barry Goldsmith is busy removing protected reptiles from homes throughout the Mornington Peninsula. This tiger snake, left and above, was captured in a Rosebud backyard.

Pictures: Yanni

“Admittedly, it was a very good replica,” Mr Goldsmith said.

At Cranbourne, he “saved” a migrant family that had been bailed up by a blue-tongue lizard.

“They didn’t know blue-tongues were not poisonous. If they are threatened or cornered, they open their mouths wide and stick out their tongue to frighten off predators. They look scary but will not bite unless they are attacked.”

The lizards are prized by gardeners

as they eat snails, caterpillars and other insects.

At Boneo, he rescued a snake caught up in a fruit tree net in a backyard.

“It was nearly dead, but has made a full recovery.”

Mr Goldsmith said many snakes had been displaced in the past two years by the building of Peninsula Link freeway between Carrum Downs and Mt Martha.

The bulk of callouts had been to properties near the freeway, he said.

There is also a warning about pets and snakes.

“Snakes don’t attack dogs; dogs attack snakes,” he said.

He had been called to five dog versus snake incidents in recent weeks.

Veterinarians say dogs should be kept on a leash in dunes, long grass, bushland, and beside creeks.

Snake bites are difficult to detect on dogs and cats.

The most immediate reactions to a bite are trembling, rapid breathing,

vomiting, defecation and collapse. After some of these signs, eye pupils may dilate (get bigger) and the animal’s gait will become clumsy as the legs become progressively weaker.

If the dose of venom is large enough, complete paralysis will occur, followed by death if untreated with anti-venom.

If treated immediately, pets have a good chance of survival and recovery.

The best course of action is to keep your pet as calm and still as possible and get them to a vet.

VEC seeks election feedback COMMENT

By Mike Hast THE Victorian Electoral Commission is seeking comments from voters across the state about the recent council elections.

The VEC says its “Call for feedback” will enable it to “improve services and communication for future council elections”.

The survey is being conducted online and in hard copy.

One topic certain to attract comments is so-called “dummy candidates”, people who register as a candidate for no other purpose than to poll low, do little or no campaigning, be excluded from the count early and pass their votes to another candidate.

A key marker of a dummy candidate is someone who provides no contact details to the VEC, which publishes a list of candidates and their details.

As yet there is no law stopping dummy candidates from nominating for elections as authorities claim it is difficult to tell who is a dummy, but it is blatantly obvious to many voters and people interested in elections.

A starting point for the VEC should be to require all candidates to provide at least a contact phone number.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s election appeared to have few dummies.

Only one of the 43 candidates did not provide a contact phone number, John Woodman, the head of Morningtonbased Watsons Pty Ltd. Mr Woodman – who describes himself as a consultant to the land development industry and an urban planner – gave his second preferences to Briars

Ward candidate Anne Shaw, who was first of the three elected, ahead of Bev Colomb and Andrew Dixon.

Mr Woodman polled 1720 votes, 6 per cent of the total.

Frankston Council’s election also appeared to have few dummies, but in neighbouring Kingston and Casey, there were more dummies than at a big day care centre.

In one Kingston ward, five candidates did not provide contact details and did no campaigning – and all preferenced candidates with connections to the Liberal Party.

In Casey, 17 of 85 candidates provided no contact details with five providing wrong phone numbers. More than 30 candidates did not respond to a local newspaper’s questionnaire that asked where they lived and who had paid their $250 nomination fee, among other queries.

In Casey’s Springfield Ward, one of the three councillors elected, Jo Wass, declined to take up her position, citing illness in the family.

Ms Wass had given her second preferences to veteran ALP identity Bob Halsall, who now looks likely to take the seat after a recount is held in about four weeks.

Victoria’s electoral system encourages the use of dummy candidates.

Of the 78 councils having elections late last month, 70 had a postal voting system, including Mornington Peninsula Shire.

All candidates had to do was provide the VEC with a 150-word statement and a black and white photo.

There was no requirement to campaign, meet voters or have helpers at

polling booths.

Many voters say they should not have to make a choice based on such a limited amount of information about candidates.

Other concerns likely to be sent to the VEC include:  There is no compulsion for candidates to state if they are members of a political party or if they live in the ward.  Voters do not know who is supporting candidates financially. Donation disclosure laws require candidates to tell who funded their campaigns after the poll.  The cost of running for council in large multi-councillor wards is prohibitive.

In late September, soon after nominations closed for the 27 October council elections in Victoria, it was reported the Local Government Inspectorate would crack down on dummy candidates.

Chief inspector David Wolf said the inspectorate would undertake an audit program to test legitimacy of candidates.

The inspectorate was set up after council elections in 2008 when Victoria was plagued with reports of dummy candidates.

It will be interesting to see how the inspectorate deals with feedback received by the VEC and complaints made directly to the Minister for Local Government, Jeanette Powell.

In many cases, this year’s elections were blighted by more problems than in 2008.

Whips are worth keeping Gold-plated gift is a bonus for winning Cup jockeys

By Keith Platt THERE is a good chance that over the past 22 years Brian Hartung has met more Melbourne Cup-winning jockeys than anybody else.

While most attention is focused on the winning horse, the cup presentation, owners and prizemoney, Mr Hartung each year presents a gold-plated whip to the jockey who is first past the post.

The whips have become sought-after racing memorabilia, with one used

by Phar Lap’s jockey Jim Pike in the 1930 Cup being auctioned in 2000 for $36,000.

Another was due to go on the auction block this month with an estimated price of $10,000-$15,000.

The Wirths Whip is handed over the day after the Cup, in recent years at a ceremony held at Crown Casino.

Last year’s winner, French jockey Christophe Lemaire, who rode Dunaden, flew out of Australia straight after the race and was handed his Wirths Whip in Mumbai, India, during a Super Trade Mission to the subcontinent led by Premier Ted Baillieu. Victoria Racing Club vice-president Amanda Elliott, who was part of the trade delegation, made the belated presentation.

This year’s winner Brett Prebble rode the Lloyd Williams-owned stallion Green Moon to victory. Also an import for the race from Hong Kong, Prebble was able to put off his overseas commitments long enough to accept the whip from Mr Hartung.

“We only spoke for about two seconds, but he wanted to know who made the whip,” Mr Hartung said the following day while sitting in his Shoreham house.

Prebble makes whips for other jockeys and, like the previous Wirths Whip maker the late Peter Bakos, sees the trade as something to continue doing after life in the saddle.

Mr Hartung has been paying for the production of the Wirths Whip since 1990.

Research has revealed the tradition was started in 1888 by Royal Mail Hotel publican Paddy Reynolds, 27 years after the first Melbourne Cup. By 1896 the tradition had been taken up by Wirths Circus.

The whip was presented during a performance of the circus held annually on the night of the Cup. “People would pre-book seats at the circus because the event was such a big part of the night,” Mr Hartung said.

Wirths brought down their big top for the final time in 1963, but the family kept on paying for the whip and having it presented to the winning jockey.

“The circus dropped off the radar, but presentation happened in various places, including at the Southern Cross Hotel and on Graham Kennedy’s IMT show,” Mr Hartung said.

As business manager of the Victorian Arts Centre in 1989, Mr Hartung put forward a proposal that the centre take over the Wirths Whip, running it in conjunction with the Cup. The arts centre owned “a lot of Wirths Circus memorabilia”, so Mr Hartung recommended decking out the Great Hall in a circus theme as well as “sending three young people overseas each year to get work experience in racing, the circus and the arts”.

“It was all costed out, but the trust knocked it back,” he said.

“I was pretty upset, so my wife Maureen and I decided we’d do it [produce the Wirths Whip] for a short time. It’s 20 plus years since then.”

Mr Hartung, now 73, wants “someone else to drive”, but is wary of the whip being turned into a commercial proposition.

The name Wirths Whip is a registered trademark and a website is under construction. Mr Hartung would hate to see a business name added to the title.

He will not reveal how much he pays silver and goldsmith Terry County to mould and make each whip and says that he and his wife “just wanted to see tradition preserved”.

Mr County makes the Geelong Cup and is contracted by Tennis Australia to make trophies for the Australian Open.

Although through the Wirths Whip he is on first-name terms with many of Australia’s leading jockeys and racing identities, Mr Hartung rarely has a bet.

“I didn’t bet this year. I just enjoy the spectacle and seeing friends,” he said.

“I’ve probably been to 30 Cups, but would be lucky to have seen 15.”

Bayside towns’ 2100 flood risk

By Mike Hast TOWNS and suburbs on Port Phillip including Rosebud and McCrae could be submerged by coastal flooding combined with heavy rain events by the end of the century, says an unpublished confidential report.

Port Phillip Coastal Adaption Pathways Program studied four bayside areas – RosebudMcCrae, Mordialloc, Elwood and Southbank as well as a low-lying area in North Melbourne.

The existence of the report was revealed after Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors held a private meeting on 24 September.

This was after the public gallery was cleared at the end of the final public meeting before the council went into caretaker mode in the run-up to last Saturday’s election.

The equipment used to tape open meetings was accidentally left running and captured the private meeting.

Four sound files of the meeting were then posted on the shire’s website without being checked.

The fourth file contained the private meeting at which councillors and senior shire officers, including CEO Michael Kennedy, discussed what the council would say if the report was leaked or made public by the federal government or the Municipal Association of Victoria.

The government and MAV are joint sponsors of the report, which warns bayside areas face huge damage bills after big storms and rising sea levels.

A map in the report, due to be released in February, shows flooding in large areas of Rosebud

between Jetty Rd and Lonsdale St, and parts of McCrae east of Lonsdale St. This would occur during a “perfect storm” of coastal flooding combined with heavy rains when stormwater would not run into Port Phillip.

The damage bill could be many millions of dollars a year by 2100 from these extreme conditions – $20 million at Southbank, $15 million at Elwood, unknown millions at Mordialloc and $100 million at Rosebud-McCrae.

The report has a cost-benefit analysis of whether to “retreat” or “adapt” as sea levels rise and storms increase.

Landowners in NSW and Queensland are being told by climate experts they should consider retreating from the coast as storm surges from the Pacific combined with high sea levels threaten coastal communities.

NSW has 15 “hot spots” including Batemans Bay, Collaroy and Byron Bay while Queensland has more, including the Gold Coast, Caloundra and Noosa Heads. Places like the Gold Coast and Noosa have battled erosion for many years, but the rate has increased in modern times.

The report urges Port Phillip’s flood-prone communities to “adapt” as the cost of “retreat” would be far greater.

Last year the federal government’s climate change unit said 250,000 coastal homes worth more than $60 billion were at risk of flooding from sea rises over the next 90 years.

Although the study covered Rosebud and McCrae, many other parts of the peninsula on both Port Phillip and Western Port would be at risk.

Worms turn: Worms head to the surface after electrodes are planted in the ground at a reserve at Balnarring Beach.

The harvest ended after the intervention of council local laws officers.

Warning ends worm harvest

By Keith Platt COUNCIL officers have brought an enterprising extractive industry at Balnarring Beach to an abrupt halt.

The first site to come to a standstill was the foreshore and later a small reserve at the corner of Campbell and Highview courts.

Not known as a mining area, the two reserves were nevertheless giving up buckets of saleable items – earthworms.

“It’s amazing how many worms there are in the ground, they were everywhere,” a resident who did not want to be identified told The News.

“I’m sure removing this many worms from one spot can be good for the environment.

“The people [collecting the worms] did not speak to anybody, so I can only guess they were selling them for worm farms or bait. They certainly looked to be well organised.”

The worm miners were first spotted on the foreshore, inserting electrical probes powered by a small generator into the earth.

Within minutes the ground was covered in

wriggling worms, obviously coaxed into the daylight by the electrical charge.

The foreshore ranger expressed his doubts about their rights to harvest worms on such a scale and the miners packed up their two vehicles and moved on … to the reserve on the outskirts of Balnarring Beach.

Once again the ground was pegged out in strips and the electrical probes again inserted with the wriggling results again ready to be scooped into buckets.

This time, alerted by the foreshore ranger, Mornington Peninsula Shire local laws officers attended and stopped the work.

“Foreshore regulations and the shire local laws apply and operations of this nature, if they are commercial, may require planning permission,” environment protection manager Claire Smith said.

“Penalties, both on the spot infringements or court action can result depending on the nature of the incident or activity. In this instance the matter is considered resolved.”

Hidden impacts of dog rules

By Keith Platt FROM a distance, John Morobito is just another person walking his dog along one of the many pristine beaches in Mornington Peninsula National Park.

His golden labrador Prince Leo comes and goes at his master’s command – usually running toward the water after a thrown ball.

The pair walk daily, the epitome of an 87-year-old man and his best friend.

But Mr Morobito, right, is breaking the law as Prince Leo is restrained by a voice, not a leash.

The fact has not been lost on Parks Victoria rangers who have spoken to him several times and fined him at least twice.

The beach is open to dog walkers before 9am, but their animals must be restrained by a leash.

Parks is also now advocating tougher rules, including banning dogs altogether from beaches within the national park.

The beaches provides a home or stopping off point for many seabirds, including the endangered hooded plover, a small bird that lays its camouflaged eggs directly onto the sand.

If the eggs are not trampled underfoot by a dog or person, the chicks then run the gauntlet of marauding birds, foxes and, yes, unleashed dogs.

The beach ban threatens the pleasure derived by Mr Morobito from his daily walks and the social interaction it provides him and others living in the scrub-covered sand dunes bordering much of the national park.

Beach plans PARKS Victoria is seeking community feedback by 30 November on a proposal to ban dogs from Mornington Peninsula National Park, which covers the beaches and foreshore from Portsea to Bushrangers Bay. Dogs are now permitted on a leash between sunrise and 9am daily in much of the park, except Greens Bush and the coastal area around Cape Schanck and Bushrangers Bay. Options put forward by Park Victoria include a seasonal ban for the whole park; restricting dogs to certain sites and adjacent beach areas; a seasonal ban in selected areas; or a total ban for the whole park.

For more information go to www.parks.vic.gov.au or phone 131 963.

It also highlights the difficulties of reconciling the need to preserve and nurture nature with the demands of a neighbouring residential area.

Mr Morobito, who lives within easy walking distance of the beach, Number Sixteen, suffers from the eye condition macular degeneration. He is gradually losing his vision.

The walk from his home to the beach is along narrow, unmade roads. If yanked by a dog on a leash he could easily stumble while negotiating the

path leading onto the sand. His neighbours, also dog walkers, are appalled at him being fined and also fear the ramifications of a total ban on dogs.

“If these new rules come into being, it will completely isolate people like John, and many other caring, kind, animal-loving, responsible dog owners who walk daily on our back beaches,” Brenda Harding said.

“In some instances this is the only socialisation these people have for the whole day.”

Mrs Harding said one day last year they found Mr Morobito at home where he had suffered a fall only after noting his absence from the beach.

People chose to live near the back beaches to “enjoy true nature … and in particular the early morning walks with our dogs”.

“If Parks takes this privilege away from us, then why are we here?”

Mrs Harding said if Number Sixteen was closed to dogs, the nearest leashfree beach would be seven kilometres

away. “We chose to live by this beach; we want to walk on this beach.”

Mr Morobito said walking along the beach was the “only way I can be active”.

Rangers had said they would investigate an exemption because of his failing eyesight, but a fine still arrived in the mail.

He had also received a written warning “not to walk my dog at night, which is something I never do”.

Wet warning aired behind closed doors

By Mike Hast AT the private council meeting on 24 September, councillors and senior shire officers wrestled with the threat of the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption Pathways Program report being leaked to the media or released by the federal government or Municipal Association of Victoria during the council caretaker period.

The meeting – accidentally recorded and posted on the shire’s website – revealed shire CEO Michael Kennedy telling councillors they needed to prepare a response before going into caretaker mode as they would not be able to comment during the 32-day “blackout� period.

Senior planner Allan Cowley told councillors the report did not recommend retreat from Port Phillip, unlike in NSW and Queensland where it was being suggested, which had triggered strong reactions in communities.

Director of Sustainable Infrastructure Alex Atkins, who had just returned from a week interstate with coastal planners and climate change researchers, said it was “comforting to hear a lot of councils around Australia are dealing with these issues�.

He said councils were learning from early engagement with communities, and cited the shire’s 2009 Climate Change Conversations – when 3000 residents attended 11 meetings across the shire – as a model of dealing with community expectations.

Mr Atkins said it was important to get climate change information as early as possible and make it available to the community.

The council needed to explain to people what the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report was saying, what the council understood it to mean and “bring the community along in terms of your decision-making�.

But then he criticised the media over climate change reports.

There was “clearly a lot of concern among people engaged in coastal management issues that the media don’t treat this issue well� and that “they tend to jump to extreme positions and seek to divide the community in terms of the way they report these matters and that’s leading to a lot of discontent among professional researchers and

professional land managers�.

Cr Leigh Eustace said shire officers had read the report “but we [councillors] haven’t. We know nothing about adaptation plans� and he would not vote on the report before getting further information.

Cr Anne Shaw, the shire’s representative for several years on the Association of Bayside Municipalities, said the council had previously supported the “whole of bay approach� that was being promoted in the new report.

Cr David Gibb said the council supported “the whole of bay approach, adaptation, etc� and could give this to the media if the report came out during caretaker period.

CEO Michael Kennedy said it was a federal government report “that we don’t have the right to give to councillors�.

Cr Eustace said there would be significant costs due to damage.

Dr Kennedy: “We’ve shown the cost and benefit of retreat or adaptation.�

Cr Eustace said the AECOM report into the proposed Rosebud pool site that was due to be posted on the shire’s website had the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report removed.

Dr Kennedy said the gap between the cost of retreat and adaptation was so great “it’s not a tough call�. Adaptation was the cheaper option. The Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report said it would cost $100 million to adapt “but we say it is less�.

Cr Shaw said if people don’t have the right information, they’ll be upset�.

Councillors then voted to accept a report that they had not read and to keep it confidential.

Sea rise could be 1.6 metres PROJECTIONS of global sea level rise have become more pessimistic over the past five years.

In 2007, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted a rise of more than one metre by 2100. In 2009, the Delta Commission of the Dutch government projected up to 1.10 metres as a “high-end� scenario.

In the same year, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) projected up to 1.40 metres.

In 2011, the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme gave a range of 0.90-1.60 metres.

Also last year, the US Army Corps of Engineers recommended using low, intermediate and high scenarios for global sea level rise when planning civil works programs, with high being 1.50 metres.

The more pessimistic views are based on a number of observations, most importantly that sea level has been rising at least 50 per cent faster in the past decades than projected by the IPCC in 2007. Also, the rate of rise averaged over two decades has accelerated threefold, from about one millimetre a year at the start of the 20th century to about three millimetres a year over the past 20 years.

The observed net mass loss of the two big continental ice sheets calls into question the assumption that ice accumulation in Antarctica would largely balance ice loss from Greenland during further global warming With serious sea level rise coming, experts are increasingly looking at potential impacts on coasts to plan local adaptation.

Melbourne climate scientist Dr Roger Jones, a An early December storm at McCrae in 2010. regular guest on the peninsula’s community radio station RPP-FM, says a rise of 1.5 metres “is virtually unavoidable�. “Right right now $3 trillion worth of property and 40 million people are exposed to expected sea level rise. By 2070 those numbers become $35 trillion (roughly 9 per cent of forecast world GDP) and 147 million people,� he said “There is a 74 per cent chance of one or more of the world’s low-lying cities being impacted by a once-ina-century event every year.�

Americans on the east coast have just experienced that 100-year storm.

Report raises questions over pool plans COMMENT QUESTIONS about the viability of building the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) on the Rosebud foreshore must be asked in light of the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption Pathways Program.

Why would the shire council even consider building SPA on the foreshore if it would be regularly flooded as we move into the later years of this century?

Did the shire know about the predictions of sea level rise combined with flooding from heavy rain events when it approved the SPA site late last year?

Is spending $38 million plus on SPA good use of ratepayer funds when the centre might be inaccessible in coming decades?

Does the design of a foreshore SPA need to include a gigantic seawall to keep it “dry� as sea levels rise and storm surges threaten Port Phillip coastal areas?

Was the purchase of Rosebud Central Shopping Centre, announced at the end of September and being considered as an alternative place for SPA, motivated by the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report?

The council owes its community clear answers to these and other questions relating to predicted massive changes to the Mornington Peninsula coastline.

Dolphins call Port Phillip home A COMMUNITY of common dolphins has left the open ocean to live in the shallows of eastern Port Phillip, something unique to the bay.

Auditorium ready for use IT has been a productive retirement for most of the team of workers who last month saw the opening of a three-year project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the new auditorium at New Peninsula Baptist Church in Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

The 40 volunteers on the building team worked 37,000 hours, providing an estimated $3.5 million in labour and materials.

More than 1200 attended the opening of the building, which can seat 1500 and has training rooms, a commercial-standard kitchen and a 400-seat dining area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team was tired but energised by the goal of providing the church and community with an unrivalled facility,â&#x20AC;? senior pastor Duncan Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project truly was a labour of love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team of retired engineers, draftsmen, caterers, builders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even chicken farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was completely motivated by the goal of building something they knew would be instrumental in connecting the communities and families.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Brown said the expansion would enable the church to build on its track record of community engagement through events such as the Easter carnivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Free Family Fun Day, which attracts up to 7000 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project saw retired grain farmers, excavator operators, draftsmen and policemen give up two days a week to see this through.

The sense of community has been incredible. I am just wondering what we are going to tackle now this is finished,â&#x20AC;? volunteer project manager Dave Coyle said.

Mr Brown said the auditorium can be hired by community groups, with some schools â&#x20AC;&#x153;expressing strong interestâ&#x20AC;?.

Survivors on the road to lobby MPs FRANKSTON-based MP Bruce Billson was among politicians lobbied by a 60-strong delegation of polio survivors in Canberra to raise awareness of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Still Here!â&#x20AC;? campaign.

Mr Billson spoke with Fran Henke, of Hastings, a committee member of Mornington Peninsula Post Polio Support Group and chair of Polio Reference Group Victoria.

The polio survivors converged on Parliament House on 31 October, coinciding with the launch of a new online resource module by Ballarat MP Catherine King.

The module, The Late Effects of Polio: Introduction to Clinical Practice, provides health professionals with the latest information on the treatment of patients with late effects of polio, or post-polio syndrome.

The module is available at www.polio australia.org.au/ResourcesforHealth Professionals

stand why they are here and what we need to do to protect them. We need help,â&#x20AC;? the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research director Sue Mason said.

The study is part of her PhD. The population of nearly 20 seems to live between Frankston and Dromana and includes at least two new calves born in recent months.

Institute director Jeff Weir said the community can help the dolphins by obeying the dolphin watching regulations when out on the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliberately approach them closer than 100 metres in a boat or 300 metres on a power ski,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine if they come to you, but

slow down or stop if it is safe, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow when they swim away.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Weir said reports of sightings helped researchers build up a picture of dolphin movements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those lucky enough to see the dolphins from their balconies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially from Mornington to Safety Beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the institute is looking for land-based vantage points to track the dolphins,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The institute is celebrating its 21st anniversary on Tuesday 13 November in Frankston. Seats are limited and can be booked by calling 1300 130 949.

Jumping on Proudly Frankston bandwagon

By Tony Murrell PLANS unveiled for a multi-million dollar 500seat function centre at Frankston Park headlined a campaign launched by new community group Proudly Frankston.

An initiative of Frankston Dolphins Football Club, Proudly Frankston’s broad aim is to make residents feel good about where they live.

The group hosted a lunch for 120 businessmen and women, sports representatives and local government officials at the Dolphins’ rooms on 25 October.

Helping to establish the function centre above the existing social club is Proudly Frankston’s first major undertaking. The project has support from the state government, Frankston Council and the AFL-VFL. “A source of pride for the whole Frankston community, the new centre will help secure the future of VFL football in Frankston,” Proudly Frankston founding member and leader Alan Wickes said.

“Proudly Frankston is working with businesses, sporting groups, educational institutions, community groups and service clubs to make Frankston even better.”

The launch included the inaugural Proudly Frankston business and community award to Ritchies Stores plus the announcement of an annual $5000 award to a junior sporting club.

Ritchies and Coca-Cola Amatil will fund the lucrative award, starting next year. It will recognise an outstanding commitment to community help by a junior team with members 15 years and younger.

Accepting the ward were Ritchies director David Welch and Judy Rebecca, the company’s community benefits program coordinator.

Mr Wickes said the award reflected research showing that team sport and physical activity programs positively influenced personal and social development in young people.

for the common goal of promoting Frankston,” he said.

“The lunch represented a microcosm of the community, meeting in a warm atmosphere.”

He praised the food from Wise Choice, wine from Mornington Peninsula vignerons and music by internationally trained trumpeter Tom Jonanovic, a former Frankston High School student, and his contemporary jazz quartet.

Mr Wickes said federal MP Bruce Billson spoke proudly about his Frankston heritage, his love of the city and challenged citizens not to accept “unfair criticism of our fine city”.

Also supporting the project were outgoing mayor Brian Cunial and the council’s Jane Homewood, acting CEO until the recent appoint-

ment of Dennis Hovenden.

Mr Wickes said Proudly Frankston had a wider community role – to promote business activity, improve training and employment opportunities, and encourage teamwork through participation in sport and community activities.

Membership of the group includes former Dolphin coaches, former club officials, business people and educators.

“The group has no part in the administration of the football club, but offers a helping hand as part of its broad push to promote the assets of Frankston,” Mr Wickes said.

“Frankston Dolphins VFL team, as an AFL affiliate, is the best-placed community entity able to broadly promote the city and the community.”

Flare-up short and tweet GREAT excitement in the faraway Shire of Upper Gumtree, Mrs Emuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Ermyntrude has Twittered, Twitted or Tweeted, or whatever it is you do by msging in 140-odd characters by abbreviating madly.

The Upper Gumtree declaration of the poll after the election nearly became a fiasco, Tweet One read, in an artfully crafted 140 characters.

Then came Tweet Two, reproduced here in all its dramatic immediacy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Re-electd cr mking long spch, oppont sd U R glty of terminological inexactitude. All hell eruptd. Cr wnt red, told hklr Get Out. Fisticfs loomd. Winner: Laurel? Hrdy?â&#x20AC;?

Termini â&#x20AC;Ś what!? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means he was accused of telling a porky,â&#x20AC;? explained Mrs Emu, a veritable font of knwldg on lctronic msging and an xprt (as Emu knows too well) at picking porkies.

Emu was agog, awaiting the outcome in Tweet Three. So was Mrs E. Did it end with a thrownin towel? A TKO? But it nvr came. Neither did an explanatory phone call, in which one does not have to spk crpticly.

So dear old Ermy was telephoned for the denouement. There was none, she said, lamely. The dogs barked furiously but briefly, each on its own side of the fence, then lost interest and wandered off, figuratively marking territory.

This word abbreviation is a useful mode of contact, opines Emu. Frnkly, he rthr likes cndensd prose: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for those with 10 digits to scoff, but with three claws, two wingtips and a beak, and balancing on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail feathers, typing can be rduous in the extrm.

Trip down nightmare lane FOR sufferers of deja vu, Emu can recommend a visit to the shire website and a search of the A-Z index. It is a nightmare that could lead to extended medical treatment.

Eight days after the shire election results were finalised and the winners were named were all the old favourites.

The excellent Leigh Eustace, widely lamented

in defeat, was still councillor for the extinct Mt Eliza Ward and Bill Goodrem still represented the burghers of what was the ward of Rye. The now-retired Reade Smith (former rep for Cerberus Ward) was still the councillor to ring.

Better still, newly re-elected Graham Pittock (of the non-existent Kangerong Ward, now Seawinds) was still listed as mayor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the office he held in 2011.

And what of the new reality? Nepean, now a two-member ward, was still the sole domain of Tim Rodgers.

The same went for all other councillors returned at the recent poll.

But the two new three-councillor wards, Briars and Seawinds, were nowhere to be found in the A-Z. You had to go off-site to track them down.

On Monday 5 November the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home page directed inquiries about the 27 October council election to a page that stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council General Elections were held on Saturday, 27 October 2012. Visit the VEC website for more information.â&#x20AC;?

It then stated, even more helpfully: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new electoral structure for Mornington Peninsula Shire Council applies for the next Council general election on 27 October 2012.â&#x20AC;?

Deja vu at its finest!

The thing about a website is that it broadcasts for all to see an organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smartness and efficiency, or its dilatoriness and incompetence.

Clearly, ensuring that its information window to the world is up to date, lucid and user-friendly is not a high priority at Besgrove Street, at any level of the bureaucracy. ď Ž As of Monday 12 November, the website had been changed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just in time for the mayoral election.

For 50 years they’ve been finding and installing the right floor coverings for customers along the Peninsula and beyond!

After operating under another name for decades Geoff Smith made the decision to change the name of the business to Choices

by Smiths.

As Geoff explains: ”The industry was filled with similar sounding business names, so we made the change to rectify some of that confusion and stand out from the crowd. Besides which, the Choices name more closely reflects what we have in store for our customers today.”

But while the name may have changed the levels of service certainly hasn’t. “Customers will find the same experienced staff in all stores, providing exceptional customer service and great products at the right price” said Geoff. He said the days of only selling carpets were long gone.

“People will now find a wide selection of timbers, laminate and vinyl alongside carpets,

rugs and coming soon to some stores, ceramic tiles.” he added.

Choices by Smiths customers will also discover amazing new products like Godfrey Hirst eco+® Soft to Touch™. Manufactured in Australia, this brilliant product is the next generation in unrivalled carpet softness and backed by industry leading Lifetime and 25year guarantees.

Choices extensive range covers products for the budgetconscious home- owner to the very latest, next generation, high end products. As part of a national buying cooperative they have access to the industry’s top brands. It also means they can offer customers great prices on quality products.

The Smiths have privately owned the stores at Mornington for 50 years and have witnessed firsthand the massive growth in the area.

As the community grew so did the business, which required them to move to bigger and better premises located at Shop 1/137 Mornington Tyabb Road

from the main street vicinity.

“All our staff is experienced and knowledgeable in all facets of our industry. This will ensure all our customers will find the floor they’ve been searching for’’ says Geoff.

In fact, customers will now find more surface choices, contemporary colours, patterns and textures.

Staff from left to right: Karen, Calvin, Geoff, Pat, Louis, Sabrina, Ned

To provide additional peace of mind to customers, Choices back their products with three guarantees: 60 day replacement guarantee (conditions apply); lifetime installation guarantee and the price protection guarantee which offers a refund for the difference in the unlikely event that customers find a lower price on the same carpet and installation within seven days of placing an order.

Healthy Living

A solution for foot pain DO you suffer with chronic lower leg and foot pain? Have you tried all the conservative therapies and still suffer from nagging, burning pain? Prolotherapy may be the answer.

The Foot Pain Relief Clinic has been offering prolotherapy for the past two years. Dr C A Thomson, podiatrist, has just returned from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health after participating in the live activity entitled The Anatomy, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Myofascial Pain with Prolotherapy. He also attended the Research Symposium, which presented current research outcomes on prolotherapy.

Although you may not have heard about prolotherapy, it has been used to treat pain and injury for more than 60 years and the results have been amazing. In studies conducted on pain patients, up to 90 per cent of patients received good-toexcellent results in pain relief and improved function. Dr George Hackett, a prolotherapy pioneer, proved that strengthening connective tissue relieves soft tissue pain. His research was published in the respected medical journal The Lancet.

What is prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy (prolo), or ligament reconstructive therapy, is a safe, non-surgical treatment for chronic pain, injury and arthritis. Common problems treated with prolotherapy by this podiatrist include joint arthritis, and injuries of the knees, foot and ankle. Prolotherapy is defined by Webster’s Third New International Dictionary as “the rehabilitation of an incompetent structure, such as ligaments or tendons, by the induced proliferation of new cells”.

With prolotherapy the pain is not just covered up, the injury and the source of the pain is healed.

Prolotherapy is a medical procedure performed by people who have received and undertaken specialised hands on training in this technique.

How does prolotherapy work?

Prolotherapy works on a very simple principle: injecting a stimulating solution at the site of pain,

stimulates the body’s own healing mechanism to repair and rebuild tissue. This repair process can lead to a stronger and more supportive structure.

When an injury occurs, the area may not heal completely. This can be due to poor blood supply or inappropriate treatment. For this reason weak or damaged ligaments and tendons may heal very slowly, becoming lax and painful. Strengthening these tissues reduces pain and stabilises the structures, allowing you to comfortably perform desired activities.

What conditions can prolotherapy be used for?

Since most orthopaedic injuries involve damage to the ligaments, tendons and cartilage, just about all musculoskeletal injuries can be treated. Bursitis, tendonitis and sprains will most likely improve and potentially be cured with prolotherapy.

Examples include: Ankle and foot arthritis, ankle instability and chronic sprains and strains, planta fasciitis, heel pain and achillies tendonosis, sinus tarsi syndrome.

Knee injuries: arthritis, ligament instability and tears, peripheral meniscal tears, runner’s knee (tendonosis), Osgood-Schlatter’s disease, pes anserine tendonosis.

Complete ligament tears and fractures do not respond to prolotherapy unless surgery or immobilisation is performed first.

Our goal is to restore your body to normal, painfree function with as few treatments as possible.

Generally injections may be performed every 3-6 weeks.

Does prolotherapy work?

Numerous research studies are now available demonstrating the effectiveness of prolotherapy.

Major academic institutions and medical centres as well as many sports medicine centres are utilising prolotherapy as a non-surgical alternative to treat painful injuries to ligaments and tendons.

Healthy Living Sore, aching feet – a mental health issue Sun protection for DID you know that sore or aching feet can negatively impact on your happiness? Scientific research clearly demonstrates the direct effect chronic foot pain can have on your mental health.

The feet have a very high concentration of nerves, which trigger both physical and emotional responses, and because your feet play an important role in most daily activities, it is crucial you don’t put up with painful or problematic feet and legs.

Did you also know your feet could be the cause of all sorts of physical pains and problems in other parts of the body? Your feet can be a major cause of ankle, knee, hip and back issues. This makes perfect sense when you think about it – your feet

are your foundation, supporting your whole body for the thousands of steps you take every day, week after week, month after month, year after year.

So if there are problems with your feet, it’s logical it can set off a chain reaction in the rest of your body.

Heel and arch pain, plantar fasciitis, pain in the ball of the foot or toes, aching knees, shin splints and soft tissues injuries are all common concerns, which are easily addressed with proper treatment and advice from a sports podiatrist, whom specialises in musculoskeletal conditions.

Foot + Leg Pain Clinics, founded by one of Australia’s most experienced sports podiatrists, Paul Dowie, are providing expert solutions to assist with all these concerns.

Taking a holistic approach to healing they look past the surface symtpoms to find the casue of your foot and leg concerns, and are having enormous success in providing positive outcomes for patients.

Foot + Leg Pain Clinics have been the chosen podiatrists by many of the world’s best athletes including; world No 1 golfers and tennis players, Olympic champions and Australian cricket team players.

Do you feel as good as at 21? Ageing well at Peninsula Herbal Dispensary HAVE you ever wondered how well your body is ageing?

Our wellness and healthy ageing program holds the answers.

Being tired, forgetful, stressed, overweight or suffering from high cholesterol means you could be ageing beyond your years, putting you at risk of developing chronic health problems earlier.

Complete our Healthy Ageing Appraisal to establish your biological age.

You may be 38 and have the health of a 28-year-old, how fantastic! You

might be 51 and have the health of a 65-year-old and now is the time to make small changes to improve how you age and feel.

To optimise health and longevity we consider seven factors common to anti-ageing – nutrition, exercise, relaxation, social connection, mental stimulation, self-expression and spirituality. Sometimes we need to add a little of “this” or remove a little of “that” to create balance.

Research shows even three simple changes improve how you age.

1. Start a multivitamin supplement

vulnerable eyes YOU may be aware of the dangers of UV exposure to your skin but are you aware that your eyes are vulnerable to UV damage any time of the day, any time of the year?

Almost 60 per cent of Australians believe it is only the midday sun that poses the greatest UV threat but this is not the case. UV exposure to the eyes before 10am and after 2pm may be higher than during the middle of the day on some days. UV radiation levels are three times higher during the summer than in winter.

Accumulated UV exposure to your eyes can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygium, sola keratopathy and skin cancer of the eyelids and around the eyes. Even short bursts of unprotected UV exposure can lead to eye pain, irritation and sensitivity to light. (Optometrists Association of Australia UV campaign 2012)

Polarised sunglasses are particularly effective. They eliminate glare from horizontal surfaces making them ideal for sailing, fishing, driving or sports. Glare is created by reflected light and can limit our ability to see clearly and comfortably. It can be distracting and at times potentially dangerous. Polarised lenses, such as Maui Jim, reduce glare, squinting and eyestrain for safer and more comfortable vision.

If you wear glasses, particularly to correct your distance vision, you will benefit by having your prescription applied to your sunglasses. This will ensure your vision is at its best when wearing sunglasses, especially for tasks such as driving.

For more information about sunglasses and sun protection for your eyes, call in to John Old Optometrist at Bentons Square, Mornington, or phone 5975 5720.

to fill any nutritional gaps in your diet.

2. Take a quality Omega 3 fish oil for healthy ageing 3. Add some relaxation, spending your lunch break in the sun or listening to music Don’t settle for feeling just okay.

You can grow old happy and well by making simple changes. You deserve it.

Day at the races, a night on the tiles

By Stuart McCullough DON’T speak to me of horse racing.

Ever since Mother Nature mercilessly cruelled my ambition to be jockey with a mid-teens growth spurt, I can barely stand to look at a clotheshorse, much less the real thing. Just as a retired boxer cannot sniff even the slightest scent of liniment oil without his chest swelling with regret, whenever the spring racing carnival comes around I find myself thinking of what might have been.

Before I was six feet tall, I was a keen horse rider. Sadly, however, my horse Magpie was not the kind of creature who took kindly to being ridden. He considered it something of a personal affront and took any opportunity he could to make his displeasure known. The horse was named Magpie because his coat was a mixture of black and white. It suited him. For while Magpie could be a charming beast, he undoubtedly had a dark side.

If such a thing as horse prison exists, Magpie would surely have done a little time. I’m not sure what for – probably petty crimes like theft and burglary for which the absence of opposable thumbs would surely have been the cruellest of handicaps. Whatever it was, it left him hardened. No matter how well we looked after Magpie, he was in a near constant state of relapse.

Fresh hay, a handful of sugar or an apple – he would welcome them all and treat you like his best friend until, 10 minutes later, he would make for the nearest low-hanging branch and leave you stuck there like last week’s washing.

Magpie and I grew apart. By about a foot, it seems. Once I was taller than my father, it was clear that I would

PAGE 48

never be a jockey. My insistence on wearing racing silks at all times did me no favours on the social front and I eventually decided to pack my colours away, vowing to never having anything to do with horses again.

I have kept this promise ever since and so have never been to the races.

This means that horse racing remains a complete and utter mystery to me.

As best I can tell, it is an extremely traumatic event. People never look so good as they do when heading off to a day at the races. Men who would ordinarily only wear a suit when expecting to begin each sentence with the words “Your Honour” think noth-

Mornington News 13 November 2012

ing of dressing up to the nines, the tens and, sometimes, even the elevens to go and watch a bunch of thoroughbreds charge around the paddock. And if the gentlemen look likely to escape a custodial sentence, the ladies appear ready to attend their cousin’s spring wedding.

They wear fascinators. Not quite a hat, technically not an antenna, the most fascinating thing about a fascinator is that people wear them.

But what begins with such scrubbed and immaculate promise and poise goes seriously awry at some point.

For while people leave to go to the races looking wonderful, they return

as though they’ve just fallen out of the ring after having gone 15 rounds with the local amateur welterweight champion. Shirts are untucked, shoes are abandoned and traumatised skin has turned an alarmed shade of pink. It is as though each human being has been thrown into a gigantic tumble dryer before being sent home to recuperate.

For a time I had an apartment in Russell Street in the city. From my window I could see the racing crowds both as they headed off in the morning and as they returned at night. In the morning, they were sophisticated, primped and preened, alive with chatter and laughter. By sunset, they were

a staggering, puking mess hurling abuse at passing taxis that did not dare to slow down. It was hard to imagine these were the same people.

Try as I might to avoid horse racing, it’s no longer possible.

Once, gambling on horse races was a discrete activity, confined to one shopfront of your local main street.

Nervous, chain-smoking men would stand out the front like gargoyles and mothers would cover the eyes of their children, quickening their pace on the way past. But at some undefined point, everything changed. Gambling companies now rule the airwaves and routinely carpet bomb television with advertisements. Depending on your point of view, these commercials are either shamelessly dishonest or surrealist masterpieces promoting an alternative reality: one in which gambling is either a magical adventure you undertake with your bookie (as opposed to a form of pick-pocketing) or an essential part of the seduction process (rather than the reason you probably broke up). It’s all so very topsy-turvy.

No wonder people look as if they’ve been thrown about by the time they come home.

But what do I know? As a failed jockey, it may well be that my perceptions are inevitably skewed and anything but impartial.

Magpie has long since gone to that great stable in the sky and it has been decades since I’ve ridden anything other than a tram. Maybe that should change. Perhaps it’s time to head up to the shed and polish up the saddle, clean the bridle and warm the bit. Or even retrieve the silks from the back of the wardrobe. They’d be the perfect outfit for a day at the races. www.stuartmccullough.com

Farmers’ market a fresh take on produce

By Cameron McCullough MORE than 2000 people went to the first farmers’ market in Mornington on Saturday, delighting organisers and stallholders.

Highlights included food stalls, live music and children’s activities.

Padua College senior school concert band played a variety of music including classic film tunes such as the Magnificent Seven, television themes and traditional concert band music.

Children flocked to the face-

painting stall and made their own scarecrows from peninsula straw and recycled clothing.

Shoppers bought breakfast from the community-run barbecue and hot food vendors while perusing an array of fresh produce.

The market was officially opened by food writer Richard Cornish, best known for articles on local and sustainably sourced food. MPs David Morris and Bruce Billson were spotted among the crowd.

Organised by Mornington Chamber of Commerce, the market will work

toward accreditation with the Victorian Farmers’ Markets Association, a program that ensures authenticity among stallholders and support for Victorian agriculture.

Mornington Farmers’ Market will be the second accredited market on the peninsula after Mt Eliza Farmers’ Market, which has been operating for more than two years and attracts about 1500 to 1700 people on the fourth Sunday each month.

A survey suggests most people will attend both markets, a chamber spokesman said.

Snacktime: Ashley, Brianne, Paige and Bibi Lafleur.

Mornington’s market will feature a range of produce from around the Mornington Peninsula and regional Victoria, including organic sourdough bread, cheese, grass-fed meat, peninsula seafood, organic fruit and vegetables, free-range eggs, honey, home-made conserves and sweet treats.

“Through buying directly from producers, consumers have the chance to learn about where their food comes from; seasonality; how different foods are grown, reared or made; and how making conscious

food choices can be very rewarding,” market manager Janette Smith said.

The market is at picturesque Mornington Park, which boasts sea views, a children’s playground, expansive lawn and is close to Mothers Beach, the pier and Main Street shopping precinct.

The market is on the second Saturday of every month from 8.30am to 1pm.

The triumph of the challenge MORE than 1500 runners and walkers on Sunday raced to reach the summit of Arthurs Seat in the annual Arthurs Seat Challenge.

The event is the major fundraiser for the Fit to Drive campaign which teaches road safety to all year 11 students throughout the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston.

Cameron Hall was first to finish the 6.7 kilometre climb, in 26 minutes 51 seconds.

He was followed by Phillip Weatherlake, 28:10 and Nathan Brill, 28:27.

Sarah mason, 33:17, was the first woman to make the summit, followed

by Ellie Phillips, 34:03, and Tanya Brown, 34:21.

Starting at Rosebud pier, runners and walkers set off to the sound of the starter’s gun fired by event ambassador Hugh Pyle of the Melbourne Rebels.

The Melbourne Storm’s Robbie

Kearns was a competitor.

“There were some impressive results, with the first runner over the line - Cameron Hall - in a mere 26 minutes and 56 seconds,” organiser Michelle Pitcher said.

“Our first female placegetter Sarah Mason, who became a mum just a few months ago, charged over the finish line in 33 minutes 17 seconds.”

All major placegetters received prizes from Brooks Running as well as gifts from state MPs Greg Hunt and Martin Dixon.

Woodleigh School won the school group section with more than 50 participants.

The community team trophy went to Nicholas Lynch Real Estate, with the team’s Brodie Lynch, 12, coming first in the under-15 male category. He was tenth overall with a time of 30min 37sec.

“While everyone enjoyed the fun and festive atmosphere, it was important to reflect on the significance of this event and celebrate the community spirit and ownership it ensues,” Ms Pitcher said.

She said BlueScope Steel had been a major sponsor of the Arthurs Seat Challenge since its inception 12 years ago.

“Without BlueScope’s enthusiastic support the challenge would not have endured the success and longevity evident in this year’s event.”

Ms Pitcher said the challenge was also grateful to support from the Mornington Peninsula News (publisher of this paper), Bendigo Banks in Rye and Dromana, Monash Sport, Lamattina Group, The Sports Injury Clinic and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Performance RUSSELL Morris has a place in Australian rock history as one of the most successful recording artists.

His career was launched as lead vocalist of the Melbourne pop group Somebody’s Image, formed in 1966. The following year the band recorded the Billy Joe Royal song Hush, which became a top 20 hit.

Morris later went solo and recorded a few Hans Poulson songs, but the song that established Morris was The Real Thing, written by Johnny Young and produced by Ian “Molly” Meldrum.

It was twice as long as most singles of the time and featured a choral-style backing, a variety of

Poppy’s Problem-solving sound effects and even an excerpt from one of Hitler’s speeches. The song raced up to No 1 in 1969 and became the top-selling single of that year.

The following single, The Girl That I Love and Part Three into Paper Walls, a double-sided single, also went to No 1.

Many singles followed including Rachel (1970), Mr America (1971), Sweet Sweet Love (1971), Wings of an Eagle (1972) and Live With Friends (1972).

In 2012 Morris has gone blues/country and released his latest project, Sharkmouth, an album he has been working on for the past few years.

By Gary Turner The project was created after he had read about 1920s Sydney gangster Shark Jaws. Morris decided to do an album featuring other Australian characters from the 1920 and 1930s including champion racehorse Phar Lap, boxer Les Darcy and Melbourne gangster Squizzy Taylor.

“Historical Australian tales have never been told in blues before and never done this way,” Morris said.

Producer and bass player Mitch Cairns said: “To our knowledge, most Australiana characters have been portrayed in a traditional colonial folk sense, so we wanted to find a way to deliver the stories in a more mainstream vein while still placing them in a vintage era. A blues style seemed to be the perfect fit.”

Joining Morris on the album are Renee Geyer, Troy Cassar-Daley, James Black (Mondo Rock/ Black Sorrows), Mark Lizzote, Jerson Trinidad (The Voice) and Steve Romig.

The album excites from the opening track, Black Dog Blues, co-written with Jim Keays.

Other tracks include The Ballad of Les Darcy, Sharkmouth, the up-tempo Walk My Blues, Money Don’t Grow on Trees, Big Red and Mr Eternity. All 12 tracks are gems. www.russellmorris.com.au *** THE musical based on the life of Susan Boyle, I Dreamed a Dream, runs for a limited season at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne from 31 May.

HERMIONE rang me in tears and wanted to know how she could ever face the other yummy-mums and the teachers at the primary school again after what her nine-year-old son Sebastian did. She was distraught.

Hermione is one of the more upwardly mobile mothers and drives her very own large, black four-wheel drive; has the latest mobile phone; and goes to the very best ladies’ gym.

Image, status and appearance are very important to Hermione. She dresses exclusively in designer black apparel and likes to think she is a trendsetter.

Her beliefs and reputation had been savaged, hence the call to Poppy.

I was able to settle her down and quell her sobbing outbursts. I asked what had happened. She said Sebastian had brought shame on the family (and on Hermione personally) and now she really was unsure if he would ever become a cardiologist, especially if people found out about his transgression.

She said the “very good school” Sebastian attended had instituted a “no touching” policy for all students (and, I presume, teachers too) and also had a “no handstands or cartwheels policy” in the playground.

Pupils were restricted to running on the spot and hopping in the playground, but always three metres apart, of course.

Sebastian had broken the rules at morning playtime. Not only did he do a handstand and a cartwheel (to impress Rhonda), but also pushed his classmate, Rupert.

He was hauled before the principal for these transgressions and she notified Hermione. The other mums had found out, which brought excruciating shame to Hermione. Whatever could she do?

Poppy’s solution: I told Hermione to make an appointment with the principal and explain Sebastian did a handstand to try to find his lunch money, which he thought he had lost, to see if it was trapped in one of his pockets.

I told her to explain he did the cartwheel as he was explaining to the other children the difference between radius, diameter and circumference in a practical way he thought other children could understand.

His slight “push” of Rupert was to gently move him off the measuring lines on the ground so all the children (and any teachers watching) could see the measurements.

I told Hermione to tell the principal Sebastian could also explain the mathematical principles of radius and circumference, etc to the teachers, most of who had been unable to address childhood numeracy for some years now, and may have needed his advice.

Hermione was delighted with this solution, thanked me profusely, and told me even she did not know of Sebastian’s mathematical brilliance, and was now thinking of him becoming a Professor of Mathematics and Science at a “good” university.

Walk on Peninsula Link

MEMBERS of the public will be able to walk along a section of the Peninsula Link freeway at a Community Day hosted by project company Southern Way and construction firm Abigroup.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk on the freeway before it opens to traffic in early 2013,” Victorian Minister for Roads Terry Mulder said. “Representatives of the project will be there to answer your questions about construction and give you an insight about what’s to come in the months leading up to opening.”

The site will be open at at the Cranbourne Road interchange between 10am and 4pm on Sunday 25 November to showcase progress on the massive construction project.

“As well as being able to walk a section of the freeway between Cranbourne Road and Skye Road, there will be entertainment and activities on the day including a unique car display and giant super screen showing the latest flyover video

and construction highlights,” Mr Mulder said.

“More than 20 local businesses and community groups will have a marquee on the road to promote the region. wIf you’re interested in new vehicle technology, don’t miss the electric vehicle display featuring cars like the Nissan Leaf and Holden Volt.”

The Peninsula Link project is partnering with Frankston North Rotary Club for the event to raise funds for local projects. Gold coin donations are welcome and snacks will be available to buy on the day.

Access to the event is available via the Centro Karingal shopping centre, with limited parking available. Follow traffic controllers’ directions or, if possible, travel by public transport to the event.

Bus routes information and further details about the Community Day are available at www. peninsulalink.com.au and www.facebook.com/ linkingmelbourne

Baxter strikes back in day for bowlers PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LONG Island has backs to the wall in MPCA Provincial cricket, despite bowling out the highly fancied Baxter for just 107.

On day one of the round four match, a staggering 16 wickets fell at Ballam Park. The highest score day was 18, by the Islanders’ Paul Hartle.

Long Island is in all sorts of bother at 6/36.

Baxter won the toss and elected to bat, but it looked like the wrong call with wickets falling regularly.

The best batting partnership for the afternoon was between Baxter’s number 10 and 11 batsmen, Adrian Mack (15) and Sam Wolsgrove (11), who compiled 29 runs. There were three

ducks – Baxter’s Travis Sawers and Long Island’s Joel Stevenson and Justin Bridgeman.

Paul Hartle had a day out for the Islanders with the ball, snaring 5/44 from 20 overs, while Andrew Tweddle claimed 2/28.

For Baxter, opening bowlers Dale Irving and Adrian Mack did the damage, snaring all six wickets. Irving claimed 4/27 from nine and Mack 2/9 from eight overs.

Sorrento’s Jedd Falck continued his superb form, this time against Mt Martha at Ferraro Reserve where he belted 129 in his team’s total of 6/286.

Anthony Blackwell was also cruising on 52 before he was run out, and Liam O’Connor and Nick Jewell (also run out) both contributed 25.

Brett Wilkinson was the unlikely

wicket-taker for the Reds, snaring 3/63.

Mt Eliza continued to make an impression in the top grade, despite the threat of points being taken away, when it cruised to 9/245 against Rye. While no one starred with the bat for the Mounties, a number of players contributed. Scott Tansley made 41, Timmy Strickland 38 and Justin Grant 37.

The best of the Demons’ bowlers was Justin King with 3/65.

Mt Eliza was promoted from District to Provincial for season 2012-13 and it has been alleged the club selected a player who pushed the points total over the limit. The club is being investigated and could lose game points received to date. This happened to Hastings last season.

Peninsula Old Boys had to work

hard to get its score past 200 against Ballam Park.

The Old Boys were in some trouble before the middle and lower order came to the rescue.

Zac Fillipone played a very good innings late in the afternoon, scoring an unbeaten 59, and Glenn Prendergast (33) and Jon Forrest (25) played supporting roles.

Matty Roach snared 5/64 for the Knights, and Mark Miller and Justin Parkes each claimed a couple of wickets.

The Knights got away to a reasonable start and will resume week two at 2/41 after facing the last 18 overs of the day.

Crib Point is in a commanding position against Mornington after scoring 258 at Crib Point Reserve.

Luke Herrington’s outstanding form continued with a top score of 61, while opener Matty Blake got his side away to a good start with 37.

The middle order of Ricky Thompson (23) and Brad Davidson (28) were more than serviceable when it mattered and Waide Symes, batting at 10, caused some real frustration for the Doggies’ bowlers with 33.

The last three wickets put on more than 50 runs for the Magpies.

Glenn Wood was the best of the bowlers with 3/61, and Matt Harper (2/66) and Luke Popov (2/52) also got among the wickets.

The Dogs were forced to face the last four overs of the day, but did not lose a wicket.

In the final match, Moorooduc has set Heatherhill 278 for victory.

Flinders chop Pines’ bats as ladder leaders Langy put Braves to sword DISTRICT

By IT Gully FLINDERS will be aiming to win its first game of the season in MPCA District grade after a solid day’s cricket against third-placed Pines at Eric Bell Reserve.

After scoring a more than competitive 181, Flinders took the ball for the final 11 overs of the afternoon.

What unfolded was extraordinary.

Harley Parker and Lai Leaunoa were both dismissed before Pines got off the mark and then Jarryd McClelland and Rhys Chalkley were sent packing when the score was on six.

Pines was in all sorts of trouble at 4/6.

Heath Peace-Stirling and Nick Wilcox hung around for a bit, before Wil-

cox had his stumps rattled by Dwayne Field. The Piners were 5/16.

Trav Pastuska joined Peace-Stirling at the crease and at stumps Pines was 5/24. Ricky Ramsdale is still to bat.

Earlier in the day, Flinders’ middle order ensured the visitors put together a competitive total.

Nathan Hunt top-scored with 35, Shane Beggs hit 32, and Andrew Power and Tommy Clements each contributed 30 runs.

Wilcox was the star with the ball for Pines, snaring 6/51 from 23 overs, while Parker and Leaunoa each snared a couple.

Top-of-the-table Langwarrin appears to be in the box seat against Baden Powell at Lloyd Park.

The Braves won the toss and elected

to bat, but wickets fell in a hurry and the visitors were dismissed for 108.

Andy Johnson claimed 4/30 for the Kangas, while Mal Coutts (2/11) and Dwayne Doig (2/24) were the other wicket-takers.

In reply, the Kangas are 0/36, the evergreen Simon McEvoy unbeaten on 25.

Keith Burdett top-scored with 40 in Somerville’s 9/198 against Hastings.

Fellow opener Nick Marshall enjoyed a 68-run opening partnership with Burdett before he was bowled by Scotty Phillips for 28.

Marshall was the first of five Scott Phillips wickets.

Andrew West (25), Jarryd Bailey (18), Ben Delaney (18) and Brenton Alp (18) all got starts but couldn’t turn

them into bigger scores. Phillips finished the afternoon with 5/80 from 26 overs, while Timmy Birch chipped in with 2/53.

Seaford’s Damien Lawrence again top-scored for his side, this time against Boneo, compiling 58 of his team’s total of 210.

Nick Simpendorfer (30) and Nathan Volpe (25) were the next best bats for the yellow and black.

In reply, Boneo is 2/20, Andrew McMannis claiming 2/9.

Carrum will need to bowl well to prevent Delacombe Park from hunting down the 180 it set at Roy Dore Reserve.

The Lions batted first and Shaun Foster top-scored with 40, and Jeremy Graves contributed 37 and Dean Pol-

MPCA names best-ever Country Week squad THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association has selected its squad for the 2013 Country Week series.

It is one of the strongest representative squads ever selected.

The introduction of Leigh Lowery (Boneo), Simon Dart (Red Hill), Nick Jewell (Sorrento) and Darren Groves (Rye) gives the squad incredible potency. All four were playing Premier cricket last season.

You can add Shaun Foster (Carrum) to the list, the former opening bat for Casey-South Melbourne.

Add the likes of newcomers in Dwayne Doig (Langwarrin), Simon Plunkett (Moorooduc) and Rob Hearn (Mornington) and the squad looks unstoppable.

The squad is: Evi Bowan (POB), Anthony Blackwell (Sorrento), Chris Brittain (Delacombe Park), Simon Dart (Red Hill), Isi Dias (Hastings), Dwayne Doig (Langwarrin), Luke Doyle (Red Hill),

Main Ridge shouldn’t have too many problems reeling in its opponent’s total of 131 for victory.

Frankston YCW batted first at Frank Street Reserve and made 131, not enough to cause any concern for the Ridge.

Brian Jones was the best of the Ridge bowlers with 3/22, while part-timer Jordan McCulley played a key role late in the YCW innings, snaring 2/14.

Jason Albress and Gareth Wyatt each took two wickets for the visitors.

Rosebud skipper fires against Islanders SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully ROSEBUD skipper and one of the MPCA’s best-ever, Darren Kerr got what he deserved when he scored 129 against French Island in MPCA Subdistrict cricket on Saturday.

Kerr has been threatening with some solid scores this season, including 80 in round two.

A ton was around the corner and the Rosebud opening batsman now has 281 runs for the season at an average of more than 70.

While there were celebrations for Kerr, there were some commiserations for Leslie Parslow, who enjoyed a 192-

run partnership with Kerr. Parslow was stranded one short of his ton when stumps were drawn after the 75 overs.

It mattered little, as Rosebud went from being in some strife at 6/89 to finishing on 8/297.

Ben King, Matt Hosken, Tom Sullivan and James Matthews snared two wickets each for the Islanders.

Tootgarook will be doing its best to avoid an outright loss against Red Hill.

In an amazing day of cricket, 20 wickets fell.

The Tooters batted first and were rolled for just 72 in 32 overs.

Corey DeBruyn top-scored with 30 and Matt Whelan was next best with

20. There were five ducks in the Tootgarook innings.

Glenn Collett and Simon Dart did the damage for the Hillmen, snaring all 10 wickets, Collett claiming 5/37 from 16 and Dart 5/20 from 13 overs.

The Hillmen’s intentions were known pretty early in their innings – score runs quickly.

Riley Shaw smacked 58 and Luke Toy 47, while Collett came out swinging at the end of the innings with a handy 57.

The Hillmen declared after batting for 33 overs and scoring 9/212. They wanted the last 10 overs at Tootgarook and the tactic proved successful with Toot finishing on 1/13.

Luke Rus top-scored for Tyabb with 36 and Jack Raeside hit 35 as the Yabbies compiled a competitive total of 179 against Pearcedale.

The Panthers used seven bowlers against the Yabbies, Kaine Smith being the best of them with 4/36 from 21.1 overs.

Justin Heysham opened the attack and snared 2/32 from 13, while Brad Trotter also collected a couple of wickets.

Pearcedale had to face the last six overs of the day and managed to get through unscathed.

Seaford Tigers versus Dromana is likely to be a tight one after 15 wickets fell on the first day.

Dromana batted first and was dismissed for 78, Tom Burgdorf picking up 3/17 for the Tigers. Corey Hand claimed 3/17 and Warren Junkeer 2/9.

In reply, David Timmer was able to weave some magic for the Hoppers, snaring two wickets to have the Tigers 4/49.

Ash Mills top-scored with 26.

Balnarring’s purple patch continued when it scored 238 against Skye.

Timmy Jessup hit 62 and Brendan Saker 35 to be Balnarring’s best batsmen.

Paul Fillipone wound back the clock for Skye, snaring 6/62 off 18 overs.

Our horse trainers on a roll CRANBOURNE trainer Nikki Burke is poised to notch one of the most important wins of her career with Unpretentious in the weight-for-age Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1300m) at Sandown Park on Saturday.

A four-year-old by Golden Slipper winner Stratum, Unpretentious has suddenly blossomed into a star performer in this preparation.

After resuming with an effortless win at Ballarat, he showed his class when scoring an authoritative win in the listed $150,000 MSS Security Sprint at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day. The run convinced Burke to tackle the Sandown Park event, worth $120,000. The decision has been supported by Craig Williams, who has ridden Unpretentious in each of the three wins he has registered so far.

“He has always given me a good feeling,” Williams said.

“He had a few problems in the autumn but his preparation this spring has gone without a hitch and I wouldn’t be surprised if he developed into the type of horse that could win a race like the Group 1 Galaxy at Randwick in the autumn,” the Caulfield Cup-winning rider said.

While Melbourne trainers have endured a difficult spring carnival, their southeast and peninsula counterparts have punched above their weight.

As well as Nikki Burke, Cranbourne trainers Michael Kent, Robbie Laing and Ricky Maund all trained winners during Melbourne Cup week.

Mornington trainers Pat Carey and Simon Vercoe saddled winners on cup day while Anthony Freedman, who is based at Rye, scored an impressive win with the lightly raced Zydeco in the Group 2 Wakeful Stakes. The Darley-owned filly then went on to finish second to Dear Demi in the Group 1 Crown Oaks.

Leviathan owner Lloyd Williams can finish off the Melbourne spring carnival in a blaze of glory with Mourayan in the $350,000 Zipping Classic (2400m).

Williams, who notched up his fourth Melbourne Cup with Green Moon, enjoyed a high degree of success in the race when in was known as the Sandown Cup. He won the event with Legible in 2003 and four times with the grand old performer Zipping, who now has the race named after him.

A placegetter in the 2009 Irish Derby, Mourayan has proven a valuable commodity since joining the Williams team. His efforts include a win in the Bart Cummings at Flemington and the Craven Plate at Randwick as well as a second in the Group 1 Metropolitan.

The entire showed he is ready for this week’s assignment by finishing a creditable seventh in the cup.

Last year the father and son combination of Bill and Simon Wilde took the Sandown Guineas with roughie

So Swift and the partnership has bright prospects again this year. The stable will be represented by Gold Medal, who finished a slashing third in the Hilton Hotel Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday.

It is likely he will have the services of Michael Rodd, who had the mount on Saturday. Rodd has been riding in brilliant style throughout the spring carnival. His wins include the Group 1 Myer Classic on Appearance and the Group 2 Matriarch Stakes.

The partnership of trainer Paul Messara and Craig Williams will join forces with Mahisara in the Sandown Stakes.

Messara and Williams successfully joined forces with top-class mare Ortensia last season resulting in victories in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes in Perth and the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at Dubai in March this year.

A four-year-old by More Than Ready, Mahisara scored his fifth win from 14 starts in the 1400-metre handicap at Flemington on cup day with

Williams in the saddle. He quickly had him in the box seat and after hitting the lead in the straight, was able to hold off all challengers.

It is expected a similar pattern will evolve at Sandown and on this basis he will again be hard to beat.

Other horses worth a look on Saturday are Union Gap (Guineas), Amarachi, Meidung (Twilight Glow), Exceptionally (Zipping Classic), Ironstein (Sandown Cup), Angel Of Mercy, Sheila’s Star (Summoned Stakes) and Extra Zero (Eclipse Stakes).  International form expert Peter Ellis provides weekly racing tips on a weekly podcast at www. racingandsports.com.au and at the Tatts website.

Drop a line inshore and offshore ON THE LINE

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro WITH the recent great weather, we have seen the fishing really heat up.

While snapper remains king, whiting, squid, gummy shark and other species are making their presence felt.

Snapper will continue to get better over the next couple of weeks and then squid, whiting and gummy shark will start to dominate inshore, while offshore anglers will start to land mako and blue sharks.

We are very lucky to have such great fisheries so close to a major capital city. Our future is in our hands and it’s up to us not to ruin it.

Matt Hunt of Matthew Hunt Fishing Services (0419 760 510) reports: Snapper 2012 is in full swing and best baits are pilchard, silver whiting and squid so far this year with bigger fish often taking a liking to a whole gar or scad cast way out back. The fish are packed tight when feeding hard and quite often are up in the water column. This is when adjusting technique and bait type and size can make the difference between a couple of bites and not being able to keep a rod in the water. The fish are widespread and different schools in different areas are feeding at different times for different reasons.

Fishermen I know have bagged at Black Rock in 8m, Ricketts Point 15m, 19m and 21m, Mordi 10m and 17m, Edithvale 13m and 15m, outer artificial reef, Aeroplane and Mt Eliza in 16m and 18m, Ansetts 17m and Mornington 21m.

Ready to snack: Paul Pingiaro Snr with a lovely snapper caught in Western Port.

Picture: Paul Pingiaro Jnr

The hard shallow reefs 6m to 12m have been producing some great numbers of quality fish as well. Port Melbourne to Ricketts Point, and Frankston to Mt Martha have been

good. When fishing these areas, be mindful of kayaks and small tinnies as their lack of height and or light can make them very hard to see.

Soft plastics have started working

well at times. The best we have found is nuclear chicken or pilchard imitation but the way they are feeding has made them a challenge to work out some days.

For those venturing out in the kayaks for a bit of a “yak attack”, Fishermans Beach (Mornington), Kilburn Reef (Mt Martha), Sunnyside (Mt Eliza), Rickets Point and Rye have been some of the hotspots with anglers catching snapper, squid, salmon and flathead. Best results are on soft plastics.

From the ramps: Anglers fishing Sorrento-Rye are doing well, taking squid, whiting and gummy shark.

While the whiting and squid are in close on the shallow reefs and seagrass beds, the gummies are in the deeper water on the channel edges.

Safety Beach to Mt Martha has seen good catches of flathead and a few good whiting, but the snapper and the squid have been a little inconsistent; they will only get better over the next few weeks.

Mornington to Melbourne it’s all about the snapper; there are massive schools of fish and while not feeding all the time, they are providing some awesome fishing.

While flathead, squid, whiting and gummy shark have been caught for most it’s all about the red fish.

Beno Hallpike of Beno’s Fishing Adventures (youtube.com/user/Benos Fishing/featured) fished 9 metres off Sunnyside on Tuesday and caught 20 Australian salmon while casting a metal slice. Benno found the salmon by noticing garfish jumping out of the water.

Mornington Boat Hire customers have been chasing snapper, and as a result they have dominated the catch. While squid, flathead, salmon, whiting and gummy shark have been caught, most anglers have not targeted them. Best results have come in the early morning using pilchards, squid and burley.

The best snapper fishing for Mornington and Mt Martha areas is still a week or two away.

Jonny of Yaringa Boat Hire (0428 001 286) reports Western Port is fishing very well with snapper, gummy shark, whiting and salmon all happy to take baits.

For snapper and gummy sharks Lysaghts, Eagle Rock and Joes Island have produced good results, especially on an outgoing tide and using burley, pilchards, squid and silver whiting.

For whiting, Tyabb and Quail banks, Middle Spit and Watsons Inlet have been fishing well. A good mix of burley with mussel and pippie baits has been the best combination. Other fish about and on the chew have been leatherjacket, barracouta and pike.

Tight lines and calm seas.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville.

He has been a fishing writer for magazines and brings his knowledge to MP News Group for season 201213. Details: www.fishingmornington. com or www.western portboathire. com.au Email spbh@bigpond.com or 5975 5479.

Five years old and expanding IT is five years since Luduco Living set up in Mornington at Peninsula Homemaker Centre and the outlet is now adding almost 50 per cent more showroom space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have grown into the original site very quickly,â&#x20AC;? says owner Jeremy Brook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With new studios being established for both our Norwegian recliner brands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stressless and IMG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even more exclusive custom-built dining and sofa ranges to broaden our offering, the current showroom would never have been sufficient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The business has grown financially and physically thanks to incredible customer support and continual development of our range selection with sales trebling in the past five years.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about trying to ensure we have the widest selection and density of product available to customers, at least sufficient for them to feel they can make a decision without needing to look elsewhere, which drives our decision to expand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The expected launch date of the new showroom is mid-November so watch out for special announcements in the local press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To celebrate our fifth anniversary, Luduco Living is offering a 20 per cent discount across the entire range of products* including custombuilt designs and the ever-popular Stressless and IMG Norwegian swivel recliner chair ranges, but only for a very limited time.â&#x20AC;? * Excludes clearance and promotional lines.

For the love of a family pet STAFF at PETstock Mornington provide the best advice on nutrition, behaviour and suitable products for your pet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At PETstock, we love your pet as much as you do and this is why we pride ourselves on being able to provide the best for your pet,â&#x20AC;? a spokesman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PETstock stores are focused on providing a world-class retail experience that encompasses fun and family values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With more than 75 stores Australia-wide, PETstock is a family owned and operated business and the team understand that pets are a valuable part of the family. This is one of the reasons customers are encouraged to bring their pets when they visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new collar, bed or premium food, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much easier buying for pets when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right there with you, not to mention the friendly staff

love spoiling them as much as you do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, PETstock Mornington now offers pet grooming. Customers can keep their pet looking and smelling fresh by booking an appointment with our experienced salon staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During November, customers who make a grooming appointment will receive 20 per cent off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customers are encouraged to call the PETstock team to discuss grooming packages and find the perfect solution for a petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At PETstock, our ability to connect with the community and provide a wide range of services is what sets us apart from our competitors. From premium food to collars, leads, bedding, treats and more, we have everything your pet needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after expert and friendly advice, drop in and see us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to bring your buddy, too.â&#x20AC;?
