Call to fix coast road

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON MP David Morris has called on the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Jeanette Powell, to help speed up repair of the Esplanade at Mt Martha (pictured).

Speaking in the parliament, Mr Morris asked Ms Powell for “prompt action [to be] taken to complete a cultural

heritage management plan required for road repairs�.

It is mandatory in Victoria to have a cultural heritage management plan (CHMP) for works in areas of known Aboriginal cultural heritage.

The coast at Mt Martha was used by the Boon wurrung people prior to European settlement and is a registered

New ‘face’ for the Peninsula Cup NATALIE Isarin of Mt Martha is “the face” of this year’s Peninsula Cup. The 23-year-old dental hygienist will have VIP entry to key fashion and race day events and share hosting, trophy presentation and media interview duties on behalf of Mornington Racing Club.

Ms Isarin also will judge Fashions on the Field.

As the face of the cup she will receive $5000 in prizes, including cash, clothing and hair styling.

Ms Isarin said being the face of the cup was a “very exciting opportunity and a real privilege”.

“I go to the Peninsula Cup every year, entered Fashions on the Field at the Mornington Cup this year, which was great fun, and I’m passionate about fashion generally,” she said.

“I just love the atmosphere at the races – I’m often guilty of looking back into the crowd when races are being run just to take in the atmosphere.”

Contestants for this year’s “face” sent the racing club a photograph of themselves and responded to the question: what attributes do you believe would make you the perfect Face of Peninsula Cup? Ms Isarin’s response was: “I believe that if people come to Mornington, they will fall in love with the place.”

Finalists were interviewed before Ms Isarin was chosen.

A public vote through the Mornington Racecourse Facebook page saw Briony Willmott win the People’s Choice award.

The Peninsula Cup will be held at Mornington Racecourse on Sunday 4 November.

Video may provide bash link

By Jo Winterbottom A ROSEBUD man remains in a serious condition in The Alfred hospital after he was brutally bashed in Mornington on Sunday morning.

Police are yet to speak with the 28-year-old victim, who sustained extensive head injuries in the attack and as of last night (Monday) had not regained consciousness.

Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock of Mornington crime investigation unit said police had been able to trace the man’s movements at nightclubs throughout the early hours of Sunday morning, but had yet to establish the circumstances immediately preceding the assault in Empire Mall.

Police were reviewing video of the bashing captured on a nearby security camera, which revealed two men had carried out the attack. The victim was found lying in a pool of blood next to a rubbish bin in the mall about 4am. He was unconscious and was rushed to The Alfred by helicopter.

Detective Senior Constable Brock said the man, who works as a house painter, left Cruze nightclub at the Grand Hotel in Main St at midnight and then went to the nearby Bay Hotel, where he stayed until it closed at about 3.30am.

“We’ve got the ability to identify most of the people in those clubs and we’d like to talk to anyone who was at the Bay until closing,” he said.

Both nightclubs require patrons to supply photo ID, which is scanned on entry and kept on record.

Detective Senior Constable Brock said it could be several more days before the man was well enough to speak with police.

Anyone with information can contact Mornington police on 5970 4900 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

October elections

Voters, candidates told to be ready for October THE Victorian Electoral Committee is gearing up for next month’s council elections with calls for candidates and reminders about compulsory voting.

It will be postal voting only at Mornington Peninsula and Frankston council elections.

Voting is compulsory and ballot packs will be mailed out by the Victorian Electoral Commission in the second week of October.

Nominations for candidates open Thursday and close at midday five days later on 25 September.

The peninsula has six wards, with two three-councillor wards (Briars and Seawinds), one two-councillor ward (Nepean) and three single-councillor wards (Watson, Cerberus and Red Hill).

The new ward divisions were announced earlier this year following a review by the VEC. The shire itself had wanted to retain 11 single-councillor wards.

Frankston is divided into three wards – North-West, North-East and South – with three councillors in each.

“Prospective candidates should act quickly to ensure they don’t miss out on lodging their nomination,” acting electoral commissioner Liz Williams said.

Candidates must lodge their nominations and a $250 fee with the Mornington Peninsula returning officer Julie

Eyewear As Individual As You Are

Allan. Forms can be downloaded from the website or can be obtained from Ms Allan by calling 5981 1339.

Nomination forms can be filled out on the VEC’s online “candidate helper” at vec.vic.gov.au However, the nomination cannot be finalised until the form is physically lodged with Ms Allan.

An information session for prospective candidates will be held at 5pm on Wednesday at the shire office, 21 Marine Pde, Hastings.

Voters on the state electoral roll who will be away for the 27 October elections can contact the VEC to have their ballot pack redirected.

To have a ballot pack redirected, write to: Returning Officer, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council elections, Victorian Electoral Commission, Level 11, 530 Collins St, Melbourne 3000.

Voters must include the address for redirection and sign the request.

Requests can be faxed to 9277 7126 or can be scanned and emailed to redirections@vec.vic.gov.au Requests must be received by 5pm Thursday 20 September.

Voters wanting more information or who will be away without a redirection address can call the election office from Wednesday 19 September on 5981 1339 to apply for an early postal vote.

Peninsula finish for summer cycling tour THE winner of the next Herald Sun Tour bike race could be decided on the slopes of Arthurs Seat.

The final stage of the tour will be 86 kilometres from Cape Schanck to Arthurs Seat on Sunday 6 January.

The tour, normally held in October, has been moved to four days in January.

Individual time trials will be held at Williamstown on Thursday 3 January with the first stage of Melbourne to Bendigo on Friday 4 January, followed

by Mitchelton Winery to Healesville on the Saturday and then the third stage – Cape Schank to Arthurs Seat.

The ride up Arthurs Seat has been made popular following the annual Bay2Bay ride, which has been allocated $75,000 and “in-kind support” over three years by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The ride, for which riders paid $99$59 to participate, this year raised $6500 for the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria.

The new date for the Herald Sun Tour caters for “changes in the global cycling calendar”.

Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty said the move would “provide an opportunity for more Victorians to be inspired by the competing cyclists and also to enjoy the race during their summer holidays”.

“The tour provides us with the ultimate opportunity to showcase some of the state’s most impressive attributes, including regional and coastal areas.”

TAFE struggles to cope with cuts – MP

By Keith Platt and Fran Henke AS managers at Chisholm TAFE struggle to deal with a $20 million budget cut, the Opposition is attacking the state government’s inability to stop secret documents being leaked.

The state’s “transition” plans for TAFEs across the state, including slashing funding by $290 million, were revealed last week after a report was leaked to the ABC. The revelations are embarrassing for Education Minister Martin Dixon, who is also the MP for Nepean on the southern peninsula.

Eastern Victoria Region MP Johan Scheffer has “demanded” Mr Dixon restore TAFE funding.

Meanwhile, Chisholm has already announced plans to cut 220 staff by the end of 2012, but says there are no plans to close its campuses at Frankston, Rosebud, Cranbourne, Dandenong, Berwick, Wonthaggi or Melbourne.

Courses likely to be dropped or only provided if paid in full by students include business administration and legal services, sport and fitness, food and meat processing, marketing, liberal arts, ceramics and areas of hospitality and events.

“Mr Dixon has not stood up even once to express the outrage felt right across the peninsula over these savage cuts, which are seriously affecting so many local residents, and it’s about time he did,” Mr Scheffer said.

“This explosive set of documents reveals exactly what the impact of the Baillieu government’s cuts will mean for Chisholm TAFE and each TAFE campus across the state. Chisholm

TAFE is looking at cutting 251 fulltime equivalent staff, raising tuition fees by 70 per cent and merging with Advance TAFE or GippsTAFE.” Mr Scheffer said Premier Ted Baillieu had ignored repeated demands by the community to release the transitions plans to allow students and staff to plan for the future.

“The premier claimed the plans were cabinet-in-confidence documents to prevent the damaging contents going public,” Mr Scheffer said.

“Mr Baillieu didn’t want these documents to be made public and now we know why – TAFE in Victoria will not be the same again.”

Chisholm CEO Maria Peters in May estimated next year’s budget cuts being “at least $25.5 million … on top of a loss of $4 million in funding from the state government last October”.

Ms Peters said further analysis had shown Chisholm would lose at least a further $8.5 million as a result of the changes to the funding of courses.

“There is no doubt that at Chisholm we will work and fight as hard as we can to find solutions and move this great institute forward with confidence to a positive and successful future,” she said.

Last week Ms Peters said Chisholm would have a “heightened commercial focus, enhance engagement with industry partners, university and school partners, alumni and the broader community”.

“I see the business transition plan as an opportunity for us. We had recognised the need for change and embarked on a major transformation pro-

Each was handed the photocopy of a piece of something bigger and asked to paint it exactly but in their own style.

Two months later the work is hanging in the stairwell of Building C. Inspiration was Karl Briullov’s The Last Day of Pompeii, a large canvas painted by the Russian artist in 1830-33.

“The government reform, however, means we have had to expedite this and will have to make significant change to our educational programs, operations and business operations to ensure our ongoing success. This will be a challenge, but one I am confident Chisholm can achieve.”

Chisholm Frankston has announced

the cuts will not affect its courses in visual arts.

“We were sure we’d survive,” arts program coordinator Nathan Fitzgerald said.

“We have quality courses and currently have the highest intake of students ever.”

Cuts to TAFE colleges, including the historic Ballarat Arts School, which has been teaching art since 1870,

Chisholm Frankston is one of few campuses remaining with full printmaking facilities.

“The public perception has been that we’re closing,” Mr Fitzgerald said. “I am delighted to say, we are not.”

Planning changes will be ‘disastrous’ OPINION

By Ranald Macdonald and David Gill “Giving in to vested interests is not planning.” Letter to the editor writer Don Macrae of Warrandyte in The Age, 11/09/12 PLANNING changes promoted by the Baillieu government for Victoria are the recipe for an unmitigated disaster for urban and city dwellers alike.

Our green wedges will be despoiled, urban boundaries threatened, national parks and reserves handed over to the whims of private enterprise, and the appealing and productive Mornington Peninsula – with its towns and villages of special character and charm – will be turned over to developers.

All of these changes are being introduced by Planning Minister Matthew Guy without discussion, and in the name of competition and benefits to the economy.

When a government tells you that the medicine it has suddenly prescribed will “create certainty”, “promote economic development”, “assist tourism” and “help farmers” while “removing unnecessary planning restrictions”, wise heads would say: “I didn’t know the state of planning was so badly in need of change. Let us analyse what

you are doing with such haste and assess the likely results.”

In simple terms, the Victorian government has decided on the advice of special interests, a commitment to “economic rationalism” and without policy discussion to change planning throughout our state. And quickly, although the government says an independent panel will sift through submissions.

The green wedges will be affected by the right to build on them, rural Victoria will never be the same again and individuals will have little opportunity to prevent, or even question, inappropriate development in our towns and villages – and even in our jealously guarded national parks and reserves.

There should be revolution or, at the very least, public anger and concern.

Journalists, commentators and citizens should be asking questions.

But, to date – and public comment closes on Friday 21 September – spin has won out so far with the government saying tourism will be better off with private development in our tourist areas so we can be more competitive, farmers will do better without the need for planning approvals, business will spend more if it can do much of what it likes in our communities, and the green wedges can absorb service stations, schools, places of entertainment and dense accommodation.

So we will all be happier with more investment – whatever it does to the appeal of the Mornington Peninsula, for example, where a strategy plan had been promised – and the new “one shoe fits all” approach will simplify planning throughout the state. But:  The proposed zonings aim to increase the number of “as of right” commercial uses with no rights of appeal when a large development is plonked next to or near residents. This includes no right of appeal against unlimited hours of operation.  Commercial zones are to be extended into residential zones, again with no right of appeal even against the height of buildings, loud noises or busy car parks. There will be no need to demonstrate community benefit when expanding commercial zones into quiet residential areas.  Shopkeepers will see the ruination of their retail centres because zonings allow out-of-centre retail development, particularly along main roads.  We will also have ad hoc development stretching out along main roads and ruining the approaches to beautiful towns and villages.  Industrial zones and business and commercial zones are to be mixed together, creating mayhem for smaller shopping centres and unlucky residents next to a new, free-standing large supermarket or hardware-type store.

 In the rural zones – including farming and green wedges – all existing limits on tourism-based developments will be removed, with no new strategy to protect us from overdevelopment.

This includes the effects on existing businesses, which will be devalued.  A function centre or large-scale accommodation on that quiet country lane? No limits will apply. Build as many as you like as it’s good for tourism and the economy.  The proposals will allow multiple excisions into small farms. We will have houses dotted over every view on the Mornington Peninsula.  Tourists and visitors from the city love our country roads, the space and the tranquillity, but will they keep coming when we look like just another suburb because of overdevelopment?  According to estimates by tourism authorities, peninsula tourism contributes $850 million a year (Mornington Peninsula Shire planners estimate closer to $2 billion a year, depending on

Frankston City Libraries

how you calculate the figures), while agricultural production gives a $600 million annual boost to the economy.  Former prohibited uses in the countryside and its 40-hectare limit on land able to be subdivided and developed are to be lifted, with service stations, medical centres, schools and all forms of accommodation allowable.

Final point: Victoria’s rural landscape, once devalued, will never return. This is the thing about planning – development can never be returned to the past. Development – good and bad – is forever.  Ranald Macdonald is a member of Flinders Community Association and a former managing director of The Age. David Gill is a former Shire of Mornington shire president, a member of the Western Port Regional Planning Council and chairman of planning for the shire.

Mornington News 18 September 2012

State will protect the peninsula

By David Morris PLANNING on the Mornington Peninsula has long been a controversial topic.

In the 1960s plans were afoot to develop the Moorooduc Plain to accommodate the workforce for the “Ruhr of Victoria”, which was then planned for Western Port. Happily, largely through the efforts of a former minister and former president of the Legislative Council, Alan Hunt, and others, sanity prevailed and the plain, and the peninsula, was protected.

In the decades since, a delicate balance has prevailed, supported by successive councils and successive governments, until the introduction of Melbourne 2030 under the Bracks government.

With Melbourne 2030 came a state directive that the peninsula was to be considered as part of metropolitan Melbourne. Main St in Mornington and High St in Hastings were considered to be no different to Church St inRichmond or Chapel St in Prahran.

Across the peninsula’s villages and towns, city planning rules were applied, bringing with them applications for high-rise towers in the Mornington commercial area and high-density residential proposals in adjacent streets.

Neighbourhood character ceased to carry any weight when plans were considered.

With Melbourne 2030 came green wedge zones that were seen in some quarters as better protection for rural areas, but the sad reality for the peninsula is that in most instances planning controls were weakened.

Battle lines: Fears have been raised that the state government’s new planning laws may allow expanded development in green wedges zones and national parks, such as the linear reserve stretching from Flinders to Point Nepean at Portsea.

Picture: Keith Platt

The resubdivision of Norman Lodge, in the Mt Eliza–Mornington green break could not have been considered until the introduction of the green wedge zone made that development possible.

Since the introduction of Melbourne 2030, while Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has worked hard to protect its patch, the ever-present risk of an appeal to VCAT, where anything can happen, has made it much harder to protect our towns, villages and rural areas.

Today, the peninsula is home to 150,000 people and has a strong economy generating more than $11 billion annually.

One of the strengths of the peninsula is its diversity. Some $850 million comes from tourism each year and $650 million from agriculture.

More than 40 per cent of employment is generated from retailing and services in peninsula towns.

The key ingredient to success has been the protection of the peninsula’s rural areas – protection that fosters appropriate development and jobs, but ensures the key characteristics that attract to visitors are enhanced, not compromised and lost.

Despite the impact of Melbourne 2030, our towns have retained the character that makes them a favourite short-term destination for Melburnians and the location of choice for many to make their homes and careers.

The peninsula’s state MPs, Martin Dixon, Neale Burgess and myself, have consistently expressed our concern about the impact of Melbourne 2030 on both the rural and urban areas.

At the 2006 election, the Liberal Party

made a commitment to introduce a peninsula-specific planning statement.

The commitment was repeated in 2010 and, with the change of government, is now in the process of being implemented.

While a full discussion of the intricacies of town planning would take more space than is available on this page, it is important to recognise that councils and VCAT take decisions in the context of policy, zones and overlays.

While the zones are important, the policy is critical.

For the past decade, since the introduction of Melbourne 2030, that policy has been the metropolitan policy.

It has been at the heart of some very ordinary planning decisions and that is what must change.

The state government recently released a discussion paper on a new

suite of zones. The zones, like the ones they would replace, are designed to apply across the state.

It is important to remember that zones are not the entire planning system, they are one part of it.

In the case of the draft zones, some very important tools are proposed for our planners, which will enable councils to clearly identify where residential growth should occur and particularly where particular neighbourhood character should be protected. This is a change for which my colleagues and I have been fighting for years.

A recent opinion piece [‘Change spells doom for peninsula’, The News 4/9/12, by David Gill a former shire president of the Shire of Mornington shire] seemed to suggest that zones, in isolation, determine what sort and what level of development will occur.

If this was true the battle to protect the peninsula would have been lost decades ago.

The state government is committed to the introduction of a peninsula planning statement that will guide development over the decades to come in a manner that builds on our strengths and protects the natural beauty of the Mornington Peninsula for future generations. I look forward to working with my colleagues, the council and the community toward that end.  David Morris is MP for Mornington and Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government. He is a former shire president of the Shire of Mornington and was a member of Westernport Regional Planning and Coordination Committee for six years.

MP’s call for repair Continued from Page 1

Taking over: Newly appointed Peninsula Health chairperson Nancy Hogan with retiring chair Barry Nicholls. Picture: Yanni

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

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

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

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

“His guidance has helped contribute to the construction and expansion of many facilities.”

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

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

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

Ms Hogan is executive director of health and aged care for her peninsulabased company Galante Business Solutions, chair of Melbourne General Practice Network, deputy chairperson of the Inner North West Melbourne Medicare Local and a board member

of the Victorian Healthcare Association.

She is a former CEO of public and not-for-profit organisations including public hospitals and aged care organisations, the former president of Aged and Community Care Australia and a former president of the Australian College of Health Service Management.

Ms Hogan has served as a director on the HESTA Superannuation Fund board and the Industry Funds Management Advisory Board and has held board positions with Hazelwood Power Corporation, Catholic Healthcare Australia, the Private Hospitals Association, and Mayfield Education Centre.

The important coast road was closed on 4 June – more than 15 weeks ago – after heavy rain caused a landslip.

Residents and tourists have been forced to make a long detour up the mountain on Hearn and Bradford roads.

Mr Morris said rain over the past two years or more had significantly impacted the Esplanade at a number of points.

“In the past two or three years there have been at least two significant collapses prior to this year’s collapse, which is, from what I can see, probably the worst of the lot.”

(The News reported the two collapses: the road was closed for weeks in mid-2010 following a slide near Bruce Rd that required complete restoration of the road. There was another collapse closer to Mt Martha in March 2011.)

Mr Morris told parliament people were being forced to travel three times as far as they normally would.

“This is a site of some sensitivity.

It has certainly been a site of interest to Aboriginal Affairs Victoria and the Aboriginal people for some years. We need a cultural heritage management plan prepared in order to enable VicRoads to begin to undertake the necessary repairs,” he said.

“Obviously the quicker the management plan can be prepared, the quicker VicRoads can start to get machinery on site and undertake works.”

Last Thursday, Mr Morris told The

Picture: Yanni

News he had asked in July about the progress of the CHMP. He said a plan was expected from VicRoads in the “near future and would be quickly considered”.

Mr Morris said Ms Powell had told him the VicRoads plan would be processed in two weeks instead of the usual four.

The latest landslip is at the end of a gully between Ian Rd and Fairbairn Ave. The steep gully starts at Mt Martha Park and runs under the road and into Port Phillip.

Bittersweet day for footy winners and losers Emu followed Tim past the beer and burger tents to a spot on the terraces where Sharks and Tigers fans stood near each other, hurling good-natured insults.

It was surprising to see shire CEO Michael Kennedy standing next to Mt Eliza area shire councillor Leigh Eustace, whose team is in the Peninsula Division final against Frankston YCW on Saturday.

Dr Kennedy told the Emu he shouldn’t be surprised as he went to a lot of local footy games and had umpired for many years. This is a handy skill to have when separating warring councillors.

It became obvious during the game when he made several perceptive comments, such as about how the holdingthe-ball rule was interpreted in the MPNFL (like in the good old days – give the bloke with the ball a chance to get rid of it).

Leigh Eustace expounded on the state of the playing surface, saying it had caused the ball to bounce off at unnatural angles the previous week.

Emu pointed out the Aussie Rules ball was not round, which might have been why it bounced in unusual ways. Cr Eustace was having none of this and as the game progressed said the ball was bouncing more truly than a week ago.

Emu gave up.

At quarter time, Emu visited the

RPP-FM broadcast team in the scoreboard building on the northern side of the ground. Toey and Vossy and crew were summing up a great start by the Tigers, but told listeners the Sharks would come out firing in the second quarter. This proved to be correct, but it took Sorrento until the final quarter before they headed a gallant Dromana, gave the lead back then got in front and stayed there during the frantic final minutes.

At the long break Emu went to a food tent and asked for a cold pie. Disappointingly the pie was lukewarm, but the beverage was colder than a penguin’s flipper. Isn’t it odd how it’s easier to make something colder than hot?

Well done, Sorrento. Commiserations to Dromana.

Government’s ferals IS anyone else perplexed about the state government asking its Department of Primary Industries to investigate decades-long rumours about panther-like creatures in the bush?

Wouldn’t the money be better spent eradicating feral cats – or wild dogs or foxes?

Emu thought it must have been the second April Fool’s Day of the year when hearing this news a couple of weeks ago.

Turns out National Party leader Peter Ryan promised a panther probe prior to the 2010 state election. The government says “Pete’s panther probe” will not cost much.

Spending even one dollar is too much, Emu reckons.

The “panther-like” creatures are feral cats seen by people with a poor sense of perspective.

The government has a poor sense of perspective, too. It’s cutting budgets of Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment, and TAFE colleges.

Perhaps when the government finds the panthers it can take photos, make postcards, sell them to overseas tourists and put the cash back into the public service – or any of its dwindling services, really.

VicRoads ‘garden’ IT’S nice to see the spring blossoms bursting forth beside the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

So good of VicRoads to plant all those pretty yellow bushes next to the road and in the median strip, especially in the section between Arthurs Seat and Jetty Rd, Rosebud.

But hang on. What’s this? Much of it is boneseed? But it’s got such a cheerful, bright yellow flower.

African boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera) is one of the state’s worst environmental weeds, according to botanists and the government’s own experts.

It hasn’t been planted by VicRoads; it’s self-seeding and chokes out native plants.

But it certainly hasn’t been removed

by VicRoads. The damnable stuff is all over Arthurs Seat, too. Parks Victoria where are you?

There’s plenty of boneseed on shire land, too.

EMU went to the footy on Saturday to see the Nepean Division battle of the bayside towns.

Sorrento was going for three flags in a row against a determined Dromana side that had produced a stellar season and was hoping to break a 41-year premiership drought.

The contest attracted media types from the Big City who found their way to Frankston Park because of the tragic death a few days earlier of Sorrento footballer John McCarthy on a Port Adelaide Football Club end-of-season trip to Las Vegas.

Sorrento won by two points and it was humbling to see the conflicted emotions of tough footballers weeping for the loss of McCarthy, but also feeling a great sense of achievement for having won another flag.

Just before the start of the game, there was a minute’s silence for McCarthy, who played junior footy with the Sharks and for a short time with Dandenong Southern Stingrays before being drafted by Collingwood in 2007 and playing 18 games. He went to Port Adelaide this year and played 21 games.

As the Sharks and their supporters cheered and slapped backs for the victory, and consoled each other over the loss of McCarthy, the Dromana Tigers formed a ragged circle around their coach Gavin Artico, who gave them a quiet message of encouragement.

Before the game, Emu spotted Sorrento area shire councillor Tim Rodgers, who was wearing a dark blue jacket. “Where is your red jacket,” Emu asked, but did not get a reply.

know what a curse it is and sally forth at regular intervals to weed reserves and roadsides, doing the job that government departments should be doing.

Boneseed has shallow roots so quite large bushes are easy to pull out. You can remove bushes taller than a person by rocking the trunk back and forth.

Once you learn what it looks like, you’ll see boneseed all over the place.

Some uninformed residents even cultivate the pretty yellow bush in their gardens.

Ban boneseed, Emu says.

Mind the ducks MRS Emu has just ducked into the study and asked Emu to mention that ducks all over the peninsula are on the move, looking for partners, making ducklings, building nests and generally taking risks beside roads.

She wants everyone to look out for them, especially when they start waddling across roads with their offspring.

Pretty pest: Spring has sprung and the dreaded environmental weed boneseed is all over the peninsula. Picture: Yanni

Crunch time for historic tower

By Mike Hast ARTHURS Seat’s historic lookout tower is no more. The 78-year-old concrete and steel tower was demolished last Wednesday by Parks Victoria’s contractors Guilfoyle Australasia.

The company used a high-reach excavator that reminded onlookers of

a mechanical Tyrannosaurus rex. It chewed through the tower in a matter of hours.

On Monday and Tuesday, the contractors salvaged a number of items from the tower, which Dromana and District Historical Society president Peter Holloway hopes will be displayed in an interpretative centre.

The centre would either be a small building on the footprint of the tower or part of the top station of the new chairlift, being built by a consortium led by 2011 Australian of the Year Simon McKeon, a senior executive with Macquarie Bank.

Items rescued included all three iron gates from the tower’s base; the Captain Matthew Flinders commemorative stone plaque; the Shire of Flinders plaque commemorating the tower’s builder, the engineer G W Brown; all six directional brass plaques that point to distant landmarks such as Melbourne, Mt Macedon and Mt Dande-

nong; and parts of some of the lattice windows.

Mr Holloway said it was a sad day for the peninsula’s history.

“The demolition of the tower needs to motivate the peninsula community as soon as possible to the next step in commemorating this most significant part of the history of Arthurs Seat,” he said.

Mr Holloway said he hoped the building of a museum to house the salvaged items and tell the history of Arthurs Seat would be supported by local heritage groups, Parks Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire, local businesses, philanthropists and the chairlift consortium.

He said an interpretative centre could tell the story of Arthurs Seat, which was a significant site for Aborigines as well as Europeans over more than 200 years.

Explorer Matthew Flinders climbed the 300-metre mountain in 1803 during his survey of Port Phillip.

Door prize: Workers remove one of three iron gates from the tower. Pictures: Yanni

The tower was erected by the Shire of Flinders in 1934-35 for the centenary of Victoria 1834-1934.

Its removal opens the way for a new chairlift, which will have a top station behind the tower’s footprint. The $5 million plus chairlift project will in-

clude a 360-degree viewing tower as well as a bottom station with cafe and large car park.

It will replace the chairlift built in 1961 that has not operated since mid2006 when mechanical failure stranded about 12 people.

Rare parrots have a new ‘home’ to roost SEVEN orange-bellied parrots have arrived at Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale for a new exhibit.

The parrot is critically endangered, with scientists saying only about 36 birds are left in the wild.

The parrots were introduced to the world on Thursday 6 September when the enclosure was opened to the public for the first time.

Orange-bellied parrots used to inhabit salt marsh areas of Western Port but have not been seen there since 1987.

The seven come from a captive breeding program and are past breeding age, but Moonlit will be home to 10 breeding pairs next year as zoos across Australia battle to save the species.

There are just over 200 birds at six zoos and a parrot breeding centre. Moonlit will be part of the program that hopes to release 350 birds into the wild by 2016-17.

The parrot lives in Tasmania, but flies across Bass Strait to spend winters in southern Australia, living in coastal grasslands and areas of salt marsh. It is one of only two species of parrot that migrate.

Moonlit Sanctuary CEO and head ranger Michael Johnson said the exhibit featured the salt marsh habitat that is only 500 metres from the sanctuary on the edge of Western Port.

“The exhibit will help educate the community about the importance of the preservation of this habitat,” he said.

“The birds can smell their favourite salt marsh habitat.

They should feel right at home.”

Mr Johnson said Moonlit Sanctuary would be building an off-limits breeding facility for the parrots.

“This will be notable as the only breeding facility actually within orange-bellied parrot habitat.”

Previous breeding programs at the sanctuary have included southern bettongs, eastern quolls, Julia Creek dunnarts and squirrel gliders.

Late last month Moonlit Sanctuary won the Zoo Aquarium Association of Australia award for best new exhibit under $100,000 for its Wallaby Walk.

Moonlit has kangaroos, koalas, owls, dingoes, reptiles, birds, wallabies and possums. It conducts night and day tours. The sanctuary is at 550 Tyabb-Tooradin Rd, Pearcedale. Details: 5978 7935 or www.pearcedaleconservation-park.com.au

Birds of a rare feather: Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale is home to seven rare orangebellied parrots that are past breeding age, but a captive breeding program starts next year at the sanctuary, which is owned and operated by Michael Johnson, right.

South East Water’s Link delay after Abigroup cost $4m for HQ land ‘discrepancies’

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“While it is still early days in the planning process, it is our intention that the new building will be at least a five-star energy efficient, open-plan office space that will have a modern

and creative flair to add to the environment of Frankston.”

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

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

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

By Mike Hast THE completion date for Peninsula Link is under a cloud after Lend Lease, the parent company of freeway builder Abigroup, announced it was “conducting an immediate and thorough investigation” into cost discrepancies.

Four senior managers have been suspended over alleged under-reporting of potential losses of the freeway project, which has been plagued by wet weather since construction started in 2010.

Lend Lease has suspended Peter Brecht, managing director of Lend Lease’s Australian construction arm; Darrell Hendry, chief financial officer of Lend Lease’s infrastructure section; Abigroup managing director David Jurd; and Abigroup chief financial officer David Walker.

Lend Lease, which acquired Abigroup when it bought the Australian business of German construction company Bilfinger Berger in early 2011, announced it had discovered discrepancies involve the potential under-reporting of the anticipated profit on one project and the potential under-reporting of the anticipated loss on another project.

Reports claimed the under-reporting

of profit was for the upgrade of the Ipswich Motorway in Queensland and the under-reporting of loss was for Peninsula Link.

Construction of Peninsula Link started in February 2010. It is a public private partnership between the Victorian government’s Linking Melbourne Authority and Southern Way, a consortium of Abigroup, Lend Lease and Royal Bank of Scotland.

Lend Lease will send a field team to scrutinise all parts of the 27km project, which will connect EastLink tollway at Seaford and the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Mt Martha.

This is expected to take a month.

On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for state Roads Minister Terry Mulder reportedly said any extra costs would not be passed on to the government and the freeway remained on track to be open in early 2013.

But the freeway builder has been saying for some months the road would be completed in December.

Extra costs are believed to have been caused by wet weather and Abigroup using subcontractors to make up time.

Mt Martha house award RENOVATIONS to a house in Mt Martha have won an award for the builders.

Full Spectrum Builders won the HIA-Building Commission South-East Victoria Regional Home of the Year, automatically becoming finalists at the state awards in November.

The main living area of the house in Somers Ave has been enlarged to include a cathedral ceiling with exposed trusses.

Double-glazed windows and verandahs were added to improve thermal and solar performance.

The house was reclad, fitted with new bathrooms and laundry, eave and gable overhangs and exposed rafter tails.

Challenges faced by the builders included bringing pre-fabricated 900-kilogram exposed roof trusses on to the site.

The judges congratulated Full Spectrum Builders on the “innovative truss construction

and attention to detail with joining linings and floating of end trusses off the wall”.

They saw the result as being “visually stunning both internally and externally” with “excellent workmanship” and “exceptional” carpentry.

“In a year where building activity in Victoria has come ‘off the boil’, it’s wonderful to see that our builders are maintaining the very high standards we have come to expect,” HIA Victorian executive director Gil King said.

“In an environment of uncertainty about the economic and regulatory future, our builders and designers have put these difficulties behind them and forged ahead with outstanding concepts, design, construction and finishings.

“It can be very easy to be distracted by the negatives, however it is evident from this year’s entries our members have focused on quality processes, outcomes and delivery.”

Puppets show way to disarm the bullies HIP hop artists and brightly coloured storytelling puppets are used in a new cyber bullying prevention program aimed at young Aborigines on the Mornington Peninsula.

About 20 Aborigines last week attended the BayMob Puppets workshop to help them cope with what Peninsula Health Aboriginal health promotion officer Glenda Ross terms the “cyber bullying plague”.

The workshop was run by creative director of Gracie Productions, Chris Burke, known for her television series Yarramundi Kids.

The “strong, smart and deadly” Yarramundi kids are part of a Darug indigenous mob that educates children across Australia on indigenous culture and issues.

“Funding has been provided to Peninsula Health by the Aboriginal Health Promotion and Chronic Care program to help prevent the cyber bullying plague that students throughout Victoria

are currently facing,” Ms Ross said.

Two workshops were held last week at Bunjilwarra Koori Youth Healing Centre in Hastings, enabling students to collaborate with various indigenous hip hop artists and dancers to produce a puppet story performance.

“The tools implemented during this workshop will give students the opportunity to share their own stories in a creative and safe way,” Ms Ross said.

“The performance will be based on healthrelated issues, cyber bullying in particular, and distributed as a product that can be used throughout all schools in Frankston and on the peninsula to promote positive health and wellbeing for all young people.

“This workshop will allow the students to develop new skills that can then be implemented during their involvement in the cyber world.”

30 SUPERSTORES IN ONE GREAT LOCATION AFTER seven years in Mornington’s industrial estate, opportunity shop Three Legged Chair has moved to Main St and with the move comes a new name – Community Caring Inc Op Shop.

“It’s a new chapter for our op shop; we’re a local charity that helps local people, but we found being tucked away in the industrial estate meant very few locals knew about us,” Community Caring chief executive Lydia Harb said.

“That’s one of the reasons we’ve moved into the busiest retail area in Mornington.

“The op shop does much more than raise funds for our charity’s life-changing programs.

It is a community program in itself as it provides

much-needed material aid and work experience for our clients.

“We are also creating a community hub inside the store. Isolation is a major issue on the peninsula and offering a safe and friendly place for locals to visit is an important aspect of the new shop.”

Community Caring is inviting people to visit and say hello to volunteers who run the store and show support.

The op shop opened at its new location on 10 September. It is at 1/70 McLaren Place (at the rear of Main St, opposite Coles). To volunteer or donate to Community Caring, email info@ npcci.com.au or call 5973 8888.

Wet weather brings snapper ON THE LINE

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro THE secret is well and truly out – snapper are here in a big way.

While the fishing has been mixed, the schools and numbers of fish are incredible. I have always found that the best snapper seasons occur when we have a wetter than average winter and spring.

This is due to the amount of organisms flushed out of creeks and rivers.

Plankton feed the pilchards, which in turn feed squid, salmon and barracouta schools that enter our two bays at the same time as the snapper. Hence the more food, the bigger and longer the run of snapper.

The wet winter and spring means we could have one of the best snapper seasons for some time.

The water temperature is about 12 degrees and this is keeping the snapper slow. Once the water rises to 1416 degrees it will be on for young and old.

For those who want a few snapper for the pan, let’s try and make the most of this wonderful resource; we should always endeavour to use the whole fish.

It’s a bad look when you go to boat ramps and see snapper carcasses littered everywhere with wings and belly intact.

Many people like fish frames for stock, fish cakes, smoking and barbecues.

If you want a fish frame, hit the local boat ramp and ask the fishos at the cleaning tables.

QF H L U H S [ (

H

Lunch: Igor Savin and friends Anu Sharma, Ankit Sharma, Dean Hatzis and Aaron Tsiaudouris landed this lovely 3.5kg snapper off Yaringa Boat Harbour in Western Port.

What’s biting Squid: On the weekend the squid came back on the chew in southern Port Phillip and in Western Port. Tyabb Bank and Quail Bank were the best locations in Western Port, and Rye to Queenscliff fished best in Port Phillip.

The majority of the squid fell to dark jigs in sizes 3 to 3.5.

Whiting: King Georges are quite good at the moment at the southern end of Port Phillip with Portsea to Point Nepean the best. Balnarring, Tyabb and Quail banks have been the pick of locations in Western Port. Best baits have

been pippies, mussels and fresh squid.

Snapper: The reds are thick on the sounders in both bays, but catches have been a little inconsistent. Best places to bag a few reds have been Hastings and Eagle Rock in Western Port and Mornington to Mt Eliza in Port Phillip. Best baits have been fresh squid, USA squid, pilchards and silver whiting. Best results are on a running sinker rig with as little lead as possible.

Jonny from Yaringa Boat Hire reports good fishing at the top end of Western Port. “While the leatherjackets are thick at times, those willing to

stick it out are doing very well on King George whiting.”

He said the snapper catches are becoming more consistent now the water temperature is slowly starting to rise. Other species caught during the week included grass whiting, flathead, salmon, tommy ruff, squid and gummy sharks.

Salmon: In Port Phillip schools of salmon have been moving between Mt Martha and Mt Eliza. There are a few schools of small salmon in Western Port between Watson Inlet and Warneet. While not large, the fish are fun

to catch and provide good bait. Best results are on small soft plastics and blue bait.

Tip of the week WHEN you’re squid fishing and you can see the squid, but can’t get them to take your offering, try casting your jig behind the squid and moving it rapidly over the squid. When the jig is about one metre in front of your quarry, let it sink all the way to the bottom (avoiding snagging, of course). More than 80 per cent of squid will be caught as the jig sinks. This technique imitates a frightened and injured bait fish and triggers the squid’s predatory instinct.

Tight lines and calm seas.

Pool cost to soar over $44m

By David Harrison THE cost of Rosebud’s proposed foreshore pool is almost certain to soar beyond $44 million because of site difficulties.

Originally estimated at $15 million, the 25-metre pool’s cost shot up to $28.5 million, then to $32.5 million when it was expanded to include facilities such as a gymnasium and a “wellness centre”.

The shire then had to admit it had not included GST in the figure, pushing the cost to more than $35.5 million.

The latest increase for the proposed pool, known as the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA), relates to the quality of the foreshore site.

A recent council meeting instructed the shire to do geotechnical testing – previous tests were done about 250 metres from the final location – the results of which will be crucial in cost terms.

The tests were ordered to explore the suitability of the site and its possible complications in engineering and cost terms.

It is believed the tests are complete and results should be available soon.

The rapidly escalating cost comes at a time when shire debt has also soared alarmingly, from $38 million to $48 million, because of an unexpected unfunded superannuation liability of $10.8 million.

Difficult sites, requiring special foundations and expensive materials to stabilise buildings, can add to costs by 25 per cent or more.

This means the Rosebud site could add nearly $9 million to the steadily

expanding cost of the SPA project – the biggest in shire history – taking it to $44.5 million even before the first shovelful of sand is dug.

This contrasts with Frankston Council’s $46.35 million “all bells and whistles” pool project, which includes an Olympic-sized (51.5m) pool, a learn to swim and leisure pool with play area, cafe, gymnasium, waterslides, splash deck, warm water therapy pool, spa and sauna, crèche and health and wellness centre Maroondah Council is building a similar pool at Ringwood for $46.5 million, including a 10-metre diving tower, cafe, hydrotherapy pool with two spas, gym and three fitness rooms, leisure, toddlers’ and learn-to-swim pools, cafe, creche and parking for about 400 vehicles.

The Ringwood centre is designed to accommodate future water slides. Its 10-lane main pool will have four configurations allowing simultaneous use by different groups.

The Rosebud site is on a primary sand dune, just metres from the beach.

Building in such an area is strongly discouraged by the Victorian Coastal Council for a number of reasons.

Its publication Siting and Design Guidelines for Structures on the Victorian Coast states that “The coastline is a precious and finite environment and its limited land resources need to be used sparingly and wisely”.

It emphasises that the foreshore should be reserved for coastal-dependent uses such as boating and other leisure facilities and structures “directly related to marine works such as ero-

Future vision: Futuristic image by Jackson Architecture entitled Rosebud Big Think: Design Concepts for the Rosebud Activity Centre, which shows the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore, a new jetty with saltwater pool and a tower.

sion protection and navigation”.

This echoes the Department of Sustainability and Environment’s stringent guidelines for building on foreshores, which the shire is currently trying to meet.

The VCC states that “Structures should be located as far back as practicable from the shoreline”, adding that

“Where a structure does not require a location on the water’s edge, it should be set back to reduce the threat posed by coastal recession and wave attack”.

It emphasises the added cost of construction and maintenance in terms of “reducing wind, salt and sand impact on structures” and problems with unstable soils, as well as the need to build

in materials that are “durable in the coastal environment”.

On building design, it states that “The design of footings (foundations) should take account the soil type and its depth and bearing capacity”.

This could be a particular problem with a structure built on sand.

Carers busy in the baby season

By Keith Platt THEY may be “rats of the air” to some and pests to building owners, but to Janet Wheeler two seagull chicks are wildlife in need of care.

Spring, “the baby season”, is a busy time of year for the wildlife carer of Frankston South and there is no discrimination when the orphans begin to arrive.

“I think these ones probably fell off the roof,” Ms Wheeler said of the two chicks.

“People pick them up and care for them, but the chicks become imprinted and stay near people, who they see as a source of food.”

Ms Wheeler acknowledges seagulls (really silver gulls) can be pests, but says they are attracted by ready food sources left in bins or as rubbish on the ground.

They live among the litter of landfills and seemingly never sleep under the overhead lights of central Frankston while dodging cars to pick up tidbits.

Scientists alarmed at the impact of the baby boom in silver gull numbers resorted to poisoning them at Lake Eyre to prevent them eating the eggs and taking over the habitat of the less aggressive banded stilt.

The humane treatment of seagulls will be addressed by wildlife rescuer Melanie Attard at next month’s Wildlife AWAREness Day at Langwarrin.

The event is being run by the AWARE (Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Education) group to publicise threats to native animals and birds.

Ms Attard will discuss the need for the humane treatment of seagulls and the controversial roof deterrents that see many of the birds suffer a slow and painful death from entanglement.

“Wildlife rescue footage and data also will be available and, while some rescues are not for the unfit or fainthearted, everyone will be inspired and informed about how they can help injured and orphaned wildlife,” Ms Wheeler said.

“It is a community event to educate and inspire how to be wildlife and environmentally friendly and to promote and raise awareness of the importance of remnant bushland and wildlife corridors.

“We will be promoting wildlife rescue and rehabilitation and the role animals play in biodiversity.”

Ms Wheeler said information would be available about the impact of domestic pets, loss of habitat and rubbish on wildlife “and how we can all contribute to biodiversity and sustainable living”.

Presentations will be given by ecologist Malcolm Legg on past and present regional wildlife and Gillian Donath, of Warrawee Wildlife Shelter, on rehabilitating wildlife for successful

release back to the wild. AWARE has been rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife in Frankston and the surrounding suburbs for more than seven years.

The group runs a 24-hour volunteer hotline for wildlife advice and rescue.

“Our local network of trained rescue personnel, licensed shelters and carers and collaboration with other groups and individuals enables us to provide a service dedicated to giving every ani-

mal a lifeline and second chance,” Ms Wheeler said.

Money raised at the AWARE event will help volunteers pay for the hotline, providing animals with specialised food, rehabilitation facilities, rescue equipment, training and education.

The event will include activities for children, “wildlife ‘challenges”, information and displays on wildlife rehabilitation and sustainable living, raffles

and silent auctions. Native plants andhabitat boxes will be on sale alongside market stalls while wildlife educators will hand out wildlife fact cards and lead nature walks.

A climbing arborist will speak about trees.

HISTORY

Somers fire took five young lives

By Isabel Cassidy It is 60 years since a fire in Somers took the lives of five children and saw a national outpouring of grief. This story is compiled from contemporary newspaper reports.

THE Somers School Camp has not always been used for children’s camps.

The camp was acquired under the National Securities Act to be used as a training centre for the military in 1940.

The camp was bought by an organisation that made extensive renovations and ran it as a private holiday resort.

The Commonwealth Government reacquired the area to cope with the growing number of migrants arriving in Australia. It became a centre for “new Australians” before they found accommodation of their own and entered the work force.

In 1949, in order to fulfill two-year contracts with the government, migrant men had to live apart from their families.

Although an idyllic location, the separation would have been difficult for the already socially isolated migrant families. Although the children had to attend school at the camp, they love their new freedom.

At its peak, the camp held 1300 people and the school had 14 teachers and 250 students. There was a mixture of nationalities including migrants from Poland, Yugoslavia, Latvia, Estonia and Russia.

The variety of backgrounds caused tension as traditions clashed and this was further aggravated by insecurity over the future.

By 1949, some of the contract

commitments had been fulfilled and families moved out. In some cases they found work on the peninsula and bought homes here. A new wave of migrants from Holland and Germany as well as single Greek and Italian men occupied the camp.

On 9 September 1952 a fire broke out, destroying a large section of the hospital The camp firefighters had difficulty putting out the blaze. The tender wagon with a pump designed mainly

for fighting grass fires had poor water pressure.

The Hastings Fire Brigade was called to assist, but was delayed in arriving on the scene. It had a powerful pump, but no fire engine.

The captain of the brigade, Mr H Gibson, explained much time was wasted while two vans were borrowed from the local baker and draper. The brigade’s powerful pump had to be dismantled to fit in the vans while brigade members rushed off in private

cars to Somers camp. The Hastings brigade’s pump was more powerful than the migration centre’s equipment and the extra pressure helped prevent the fire spreading to the remainder of the hospital.

The damage was estimated at more than £600; an X-ray unit, the hospital’s dispensary and administrative section, and a boiler room were badly damaged.

The hospital was lined with a fibrous board, which burnt quickly. Part of the damaged section had wall and ceiling lining that burnt away while timber

studs were still standing. Fibrous plaster sheets on the roof crackled in the flames and exploded into small pieces.

Thirty-one patients, including one adult, were in the hospital when the fire started. Resident medical officer Dr Prentice said a male nurse checked on the sick children at midnight and although he was sleeping only a few feet away from the fire, did not wake until he heard the fibrous sheets popping in the flames.

The director of the centre Major A Kershaw, praised Jan Telegner who smashed his way through a window and carried three baby girls to safety.

Telegner was a Polish migrant who lived at the centre with his family and worked at Flinders Naval Depot (now HMAS Cerberus).

Major Kershaw also praised the three nurses on duty when the fire occurred, Anna Koschwitz, Mrs Klisserow and Valaria Priede.

Mrs Klisserow, her head and hands bandaged as a result of burns, told reporters: “I am near the children’s ward when I see light coming from the ceiling where there should be darkness. I rush into the children’s section and it is filled with smoke. I rush out with two babies under my arms and then go back for two more.”

By this time the fire had spread and children were screaming with terror.

“Then I cannot go back into the burning section,” Mrs Klisserow said.

Most of the 16 polio patients rescued were in splints. After the fire was subdued, ambulance men treated a number of helpers for minor burns.

Five young children were burned to death in the fire – Latvian boy Martin Cauce, 5, Polish children Jozef Handerek, 5, Edward Staszezwk, seven

Devastation: Empty cots stand among the blackened wreckage of the hospital. Inset: Jan Telegner and his daughter Ingrid. Mr Telegner, a Polish immigrant, saved three baby girls from a room near the centre of the fire.

Spared: Two polio stricken children who were saved from an adjoining wing of the hospital, Stan Kosmala, left, and Aeide Walczyf.

months, who had been born in the camp, and Rita Szmigrodski, 6, and Ukrainian child Barbara Kowalczuk, 7.

The mother of Martin Cauce, Valea Cauce, said she went to ward 10 desperately searching for her son, but found it was locked. Two men tried to force it with their hands and then one went looking for a tool.

In a tragic error, she was informed

by Nurse Priede that all the children from the ward were outside.

Mrs Priede told Mrs Cauce she did not know where the children had been taken. “We carried them from the hospital, and different people have taken the children to their homes. You will have to go and look for yours.”

As the hospital was going up in flames, Mrs Priede said she went through the rooms and all the beds were empty, but if anyone had climbed under a bed then they remained there.

Later Mrs Priede told Mrs Cauce that other people had informed her the children had been rescued. Mrs Cauce told the inquiry into the fire “If Mrs Priede had not told me what she did, I would have rescued my child myself”.

The coroner, Mr J Downey, found the children had died in their cots from carbon monoxide gas and smoke. The three nurses on duty were pardoned from any blame for the deaths. Mr Downey said, “Mrs Priede did not fail in her duty and the other two had performed their duties very commendably”.

“If blame was to be attributed to anyone, it must be for failure to provide an automatic device to give warnings of fire. The evidence did not show whether the fire originated accidentally, or otherwise.”

An immediate inquiry was held in Canberra on 10 September in an attempt to discover the cause of the fire.

Members of Parliament listened in silence as the acting Minister for Immigration, Mr Beale, made his report to the House.

“The Somers immigration centre was used for the accommodation of the wives and children of foreign migrants whose breadwinners were employed elsewhere. The parents of the children who died arrived in Australia under the Displaced Persons Scheme and had been there for varying periods. The 16 post-polio patients in the hospital had been taken there as part of a policy of concentrating them near specialist attention.”

Dr David Shields Prentice, the medical officer of the camp, gave evidence on the third day of the inquest: “If I had not been forced to cut my night staff to three, the fire at Somers Migrant Camp might have been discovered sooner”.

Dr Prentice told the coroner, “A few weeks before the fire, I had received a ‘peremptory order’ to reduce my staff by eight”.

This had forced him to reduce night staff.

“There had been trouble with electrical appliances before the fire, but this happened in all hospitals,” he said.

“The roof of the hospital was made of corrugated cement sheets, the floors of wood and the inside lining of the hospital was partly Masonite and partly Canite.”

Evidence was given by Mr L P Whitehead, chief fire officer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, at the fifth inquest on 21 October.

Mr Whitehead said: “A kerosene heater in an office appeared to have aided the progress of the Somers Migrant Camp hospital fire. The fire appeared to have begun near the main office and its progress was aided also by inflammable liquids in the dispensary.

The fire left the heater a mass of molten brass, with another piece of metal welded on to it.”

To a further question he said, “I had known such heaters to continue to burn even though they appeared to have been turned out. The flame burned down into the wick, the con-

tents of the tank became overheated, and a violent eruption of flame took place.

“A definite evacuation plan should have been prepared, because the hospital was a high fire hazard.

“Considering the speed of the fire, I don’t think the summoning of the Flinders Naval Depot brigade could have saved the victims and the locked doors had prevented any possible attempt to rescue the victims of the fire.”

Traffic was stopped on Friday 12

September more as more than 200 people were at Springvale Cemetery for the funeral of the five child victims.

As five small blue coffins containing the children’s bodies were being buried, hundreds of New Australians sobbed.

Old women with bunches of lilies and wearing black scarves and small children were among the crowd of mourners who walked through the cemetery to the graveside and prayers

were said in Polish and Latvian for the victims.

Prime Minister Robert Menzies, acting Immigration Minister Howard Beale, and federal Opposition Leader Bert Evatt sent wreaths.

By 1957 there were only seven children at the school and they soon moved out. The school was closed and the camp shut down soon after.

Isabel Cassidy wrote this story from original sources while on work experience with MP News Group.

Exonerated: Nurses Mrs Anna Koschwitz, left, Mrs Klisserov and Valaria Priede were on duty the night of the fire and later cleared of any blame.

Mourning an immeasurable loss: The funeral for the five children who died in the fire. The graveside procession was a scene of heartbreak as people sobbed over the five small blue coffins.

Healthy Living MattressKleen solves a major heath hazard SCIENTIFIC evidence confirms dust mites in mattresses are one of the major causes of allergies, asthma, bronchitis, coughs and dry skin.

Developed in Germany in the late 1980s, the system is now available on the Mornington Peninsula. The unique vacuum system cleans mattresses by generating high frequency waves that pulverise and loosen all particles of dirt.

Simultaneously, UV-C rays kill dust mites, bacteria, viruses and spores.

This method of chemical-free treatment has been proven in the medical field for years.

George Burns, the owner of MattressKleen on

the Mornington Peninsula, said: “Most people don’t realise their mattress is one of the dirtiest objects they come in contact with each day.

They don’t suspect that it can be a major cause of their allergies or it can develop an allergy.”

Normal household cleaning can actually worsen the situation by increasing the levels of airborne dust. MattressKleen solves the problem using its revolutionary cleaning system with a special filter. It takes just 20 minutes and the mattress can be used immediately.

Good vision for life MOST of the information required for everyday living is obtained through our eyes, yet only 17 per cent of the population had a comprehensive eye examination in 2011, says Bentons Square optometrist John Old. “This figure is surprising given how important our eyesight is to everyday living. Good vision is essential for driving, playing sport and fulfilling work and school tasks, which is why it’s so important that children, teens and parents incorporate regular eye examinations into their general health regime,” he said.

During an eye examination, an optometrist will assess your visual clarity while also looking for signs of possible eye conditions or disease.

“Regular eye examinations can lead to early detection of conditions and diseases. If eye health is monitored throughout life, there is an increased likelihood that vision loss due to macular degeneration, diabetes, amblyopia (lazy eye) and glaucoma can be prevented.”

“Parents should be leading by example and monitoring their own and their children’s eye health on a regular basis. Parents should be confident that their children’s eye health is the best it can be.”

How to ensure you and your family have good vision for life:  Wear sunglasses when outdoors.  Use appropriate eye protection when required in the workplace, school and home.  Know your eyes; understand potential warning signs and look for any changes in your vision.  Have your eyes examined regularly by your optometrist.  Eat for your eyes; include plenty of vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and beta-carotene, many of which are found in dark green, leafy vegetables or fish sources.

Postcards from the road less travelled

By Stuart McCullough THE road to hell is paved with good intentions. Why Beelzebub hasn’t made the switch to bitumen is, quite frankly, anybody’s guess. I’ve no idea what kind road surface you get from “good intentions”; whether they play merry havoc with the suspension or offer a superior driving experience, I simply couldn’t say.

Then there is the matter of the road less travelled. Sometimes such a road is less travelled for good reason, such as a lack of quality paving (there are, after all, only so many “good intentions” to go around) or a faulty GPS. But I can’t blame either of these. For me, the road less travelled is precisely that because of the brutal combination of being risk averse and lazy.

Indeed, when it comes to the road less travelled, no one is less travelled than I. Rather than finding myself buoyed by the notion of adventure or the thrill of the unknown, I prefer to carve a path and stick to it with a steely determination that defies not only common sense, but gravity itself.

What it lacks in surprise it more than makes up for with certainty. Some roads should not be traversed, some questions are best left unasked and there are invitations that should never be accepted.

There is no better example of this than my response to computer error messages. From time to time, I am confronted with a screen that slips from glacially slow to a state of suspended animation. After several hours, I will abandon waiting and seek to hurry things along, thereby prompting a message from the computer. This message invariably tells me that the program is “not responding”. Although

PAGE 36

my grasp of matters technological can fairly be described as “limited”, this much I will have already figured out for myself.

It’s either a statement of the crushingly obvious pitched directly at those who, at time of issue, are halfway through plunging a screwdriver into the keyboard hoping to pry the machine open and fix the problem with string or, alternatively, it is simply rubbing your nose in it.

The message then offers you the option of sending an “error report” to a major computer firm. As a matter of reflex, I have consistently declined this invitation. There are a variety of reasons for such reluctance.

In the early days, I harboured a lingering doubt as to the origins of the software I was using. I didn’t want to

Mornington News 18 September 2012

send an error report only for the door to be kicked down within minutes and to watch the IT system administrator being led away in handcuffs, no doubt to be dragged off to an interrogation by a bunch of nerds before being carted to an information technology gulag where your hard drive is forever crashing. But even once I was confident that my software was legitimate, my reluctance to complain continued.

As much as anything, I didn’t want to be a bother. I would hate to dispatch an error message without a second thought, never realising that I have just reduced a team of software engineers to tears.

I imagine that they sit together in a large room in front of a gigantic monitor ¬– a monument built in the shadow of the Y2K crisis that never was – fin-

gers crossed that computers all across the world will manage to operate without collapsing into a steaming, chaotic heap.

I imagine that it looks like the kind of venue NASA uses to track shuttle launches. After a careless push of a button, the giant screen will turn red and a siren will sound. Hands will leap to heads as dozens of people begin to scurry in panic at the news that my computer is crashing…

Perhaps I’m kidding myself. Chances are my error message will sit along with millions of others on a computer somewhere, waiting for future generations to discover it and ask why, why indeed, did my computer see fit to fall flat on its face one Monday morning as I tried to check the weather.

It’s a question that will remain unan-

swered. But roads only remain untravelled until the day you decide to take a detour. And when it comes to detours, it’s rarely too late.

Only yesterday I was sitting at my computer when it froze. Having first tried to restore things myself by way of verbal encouragement that soon descended into a series of threats, I decided to send an error report. As I clicked the mouse, the computer instantly stopped shaking and all went quiet. That, so I thought, was that.

The next thing I heard was the sound of the helicopter. The sun was blacked out and the building began to shake.

Through my window, I watched as the first of the elite IT consultants slid down a rope. Heavily armed (they were a shade overweight), they demanded that I step slowly away from the keyboard. A spotlight shone down on my laptop as one of them – with magnifying glass spectacles and a gold-edged pen protector – stepped forward.

He was, I suspect, their leader.

The room fell into a hush and the man leaned forward. Had anyone been so careless as to drop a pin, we would surely have heard it.

“Yep,” said the IT consultant, “it’s definitely not responding.”

Sometimes the road less travelled leads to some glorious destination, with untold riches and reward. But, more often, it is just another dead end.

From now on, I’ll be sticking to my routine. www.stuartmccullough.com

Mornington

Performance THE Mornington Peninsula boasts some great musical talent including the likes of Johnny Chester, Lachlan Bryan, Adam Dunning, James Reyne – and up and coming country singer Jillian Lampkin, who has released her debut EP Just for Tonight.

Lampkin (pictured) grew up on the ocean beach side of Rye. “Our family home was so close to the surf beaches I could hear the waves crashing but none of us were into surfing, least of all me,” she said.

By the time she started high school Lampkin had done six years of guitar lessons and five as a member of the Australian Youth Choir. She then decided to have private vocals lessons with Peter Ellis Music and began entering the country music section of the Latrobe Valley Eisteddfod, which was her introduction to country music.

“Singing with the Davidson brothers at Tamworth in 2010 was a real highlight and I met some incredible people, some of whom are featured on my debut EP,” she said. “The artists I’ve met through country music have made me passionate about it.”

Growing up Lampkin was a big John Farnham fan and listened to her parents play Cold Chisel, Fleetwood Mac, Tina Arena and Rod Stewart.

“My biggest country influence was Johnny Cash. The way his personal tragedies comes through his songs is really inspiring. I have fallen in love with his music over the past few years and have recorded Folsom Prison Blues as my tribute to him.”

Lampkin also has caught the bluegrass bug and hopes to bring this influence to her next album. She enjoys listening to Lady Antebellum and Kristy Cox. Lampkin recorded her EP at studios in Pearcedale earlier this year. It has four tracks – Folsom Prison Blues, Bonnie Raitt’s Just For Tonight and two of her own songs, Ghosts and Just for Tonight.

She recruited some talented players for the recording including Mark D’Rosario, considered to be one of the best country guitarists in Australia,

Lachlan Davidson on mandolin, Josh Verco on double bass, Jason Eastwood on rhythm guitar, Louis Henry on drums and backing vocals by Jaimee Lampkin. The EP was produced

by Billy Irvin with graphic design by Hamish Davidson and photography by Karen Henderson.

Lampkin will be playing at the Bay Hotel in Mornington in coming weeks and will launch her EP on the peninsula. She will be in Tamworth in January to promote the EP and is writing new material for her debut album to be released in 2013.

*** DARRYL Cotton gave us much joy with his music in the early days as lead singer of Australian rock group Zoot with Beeb Birtles and Rick Springfield.

He was an accomplished songwriter and artists such as Olivia NewtonJohn, Mississippi and Shaun Cassidy recorded his songs. His solo single Same Old Girl was a top 10 hit in 1980 before he ventured into television as co-host of the children’s program the Early Bird Show.

In May, Darryl was diagnosed with liver cancer and died on 27 July, aged 62.

Melbourne promoter Jeff Joseph has

assembled a cast of stars to perform at a memorial concert, Concert for Daz, at the Palais Theatre on Tuesday 23 October. Performers will include Brian Cadd, Glenn Shorrock, Ronnie Burns, Daryl Braithwaite, Debra Byrne, Jim Keays, Russell Morris and the Australian Youth Choir.

Tickets from Ticketmaster. Further info: elmroad@bigpond.com *** THE Production Company presents its final 2012 series of Broadway shows with Promises, Promises.

It is set in Manhattan in the ’60s and stars Marina Prior (Mary Poppins, Phantom) as Fran Kubelik, a cafeteria waitress with love problems, and Matt Hetherington as Chuck Baxter, an enterprising associate on the way up.

It has a score by the Academy Award-winning team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and the songs include I Say a Little Prayer, I’ll Never Fall in Love Again and Promises, Promises.

There are performances from 3-7 October with a matinee at 2pm on Saturday 6 October and 3pm on Sunday 7 October.

He is in good health and fighting fit after a battle with pneumonia late last year, which saw the tour of Europe, the United Kingdom and Australia postponed.

He will perform in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in November, including at Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 November.

is one) would take things on board and banish the doubtful benefit of her frontbench sucks, particularly our treasurer. I’d like to see her come out fighting against all the sad misogynists like Larry Pickering and co. *** “ARE men the new women,” asked Susanne Moore in Britain’s the Guardian newspaper. “Are they having a harder time than silly moaning ladies?

Has feminism gone too far?” Never.

The men Susanne is referring to are small in number and to ease their problems they simply join the Greens. *** THE front page of The Age read ‘Death of five diggers stuns the nation’. Afghanistan, of course, where we send soldiers for reasons most of us do not understand despite the democracy angle coupled with the United States’ pursuit of Osama bin Laden. Did it stun the nation as they said and did we believe our Prime Minister and Governor-General on the losses steeling our resolve? Do we believe Afghanistan will embrace democracy after all the soldiers have come home? Not in the next 100 years that’s for sure. *** WE had bullies at school. Generally scruffy little mongrels who could use their fists or females with a tree on their shoulders. They paled into insignificance when compared with our teachers. I got 100 per cent for arith-

metic in year 8 as a result of fear and the occasional six “cuts” courtesy of a thick leather strap.

In years 9 and 10 I had another monster teacher and again excelled in maths. No frightening bully mothers though (like now), waiting outside for their innocent little darlings, ever ready to blame anyone including the teachers.

I loved the piece in a daily newspaper about the Good Samaritan: before he arrived, two social workers walked past the beaten man and said, “Whoever did that needs help!”

Art teacher Mrs Walker (grade 5) said of my drawing, “You’re hopeless Ellen”, a belief I unfortunately carried for many years. Creativity equals applied imagination, Mrs Walker. Bullies excel in all walks of life in all guises. Monsters. *** WE older people have perfected the art of listening to others who tell a story for the second or umpteenth time. This is because we are all guilty of this occasional enthusiasm for conversation but more particularly because rude younger people remind us, indeed make a joke of it at our expense and their pleasure. We are relaxed about their rudeness in the knowledge that their time will come, if they’re lucky. *** IN a previous column I gave darling Nicola (Roxon) a tick for stalling the

data retention idea by putting it to a parliamentary committee. Oops, I think the powers-that-be are getting to our darling. Alongside this issue is the Victoria freedom of information program of telling “all”, provided it’s not something they want to tell us. So the real crooks, even those mysterious terrorists, will be too clever to block any data retention, thus leaving the suckers (us) to tell all. *** PEOPLE say they have it on good authority, absolute authority or, better still, inside information. Commonly they know a bloke who knows a bloke, or a woman who is best friends with a friend of his sister whether it be Buddy Franklin or Danny Nikolic or whoever. More likely it’s not true but it doesn’t matter because most people are ever-ready to believe a juicy rumour and generally pass it on even more emphatically within 24 hours. *** RANDOM thoughts: Edwin Duff has gone, aged 84. A great singer and showman on stage and radio. Vale Edwin.

I’m not gay, but I smoke cigarettes.

According to the leader of the Australian Christian Lobby (whoever they are), I’m healthier than a non-smoking gay person.

House Husbands, a Nine Network drama billed as heartwarming and featuring a “stellar Aussie cast” including

By Gary Turner Shock Entertainment will release the Blu-ray and DVD FCA! 35 Tour – An Evening with Peter Frampton on 12 November.

The Blu-ray version has footage from shows in New York’s Beacon Theatre and Milwaukee’s Pabst Theatre. The first disc is the album performed in its entirety and the second has tracks from Peter Frampton’s more recent albums such as Fingerprints, Now, and Thank You Mr Churchill along with a nod to his past with the old Humble Pie track I Don’t Need No Doctor.

Frampton is one of rock’s most iconic guitarists and the live performances catch him at his best.

Filmed in high definition, it has more than three hours and is Frampton’s first video release since Live in Detroit in 2000.

The video contains the classic hits Baby, I Love Your Way, Do You Feel Like We Do and Show Me the Way. www.shock.com.au

A Grain of Salt WITH Chinese interests buying large tracts of our farmland, I’m surprised they haven’t set their sights on the peninsula, or have they? Someone has, with expensive-looking, doublestorey homes popping up in Rye and beyond. Cashed up investors, Asians or money laundering; who knows?

With Planning Minister Matthew Guy, anything can happen. If he’s there for a second term I can see the Mornington Peninsula being renamed Outer South Melbourne. *** ANGRY Anderson after his Go Back To Where You Came From experience (SBS) said “I am now one of the enlightened”. As a paid-up member of the Nationals, he’s hoping to become a member of parliament, influenced by Peter Reith and, spare me, Catherine Deveney? Give me a break. *** YOU may not like or approve of Lady Julia, but can you give her credit for taking on the mining giants, Rupert Murdoch, the tobacco crowd, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the carbon tax and the government schools debate? Probably not.

Bias is rampant in politics, football and family. The mystery with dear Julia is why those convincing pre-PM interviews evaporated in favour of following what her party decided might be popular with us voters. I can’t help wishing the real Julia (assuming there

By Cliff Ellen Gary Sweet and Julia Morris. They’re having us on.

Pakistan has a Minister for National Harmony; no job satisfaction there, ever.

Christos’s Piazza Caffe in Rye has added a deli; nice.

Those warning shots on the economy being fired by economists inside and outside government are the same economists who failed to predict the last financial disaster.

Former Magpie John McCarthy has left us. A 22-year-old boy, former Peninsula School student, Dandenong Stingrays, Collingwood and Port Adelaide, passing through nature to eternity (William Shakespeare). Oh so very sad.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” Friedrich Nietzsche.

All hail the mighty Sorrento Sharks NEPEAN DIVISION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At about the 20-minute mark of the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dromana started to overuse the foot-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two points in front, Sorrento re-

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

Sorrento had won three in a row.

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

It was unfair to blame McMurray.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Things just went our way in the last

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

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

In the Dromana camp, coach Gavin Artico was devastated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

YCW v Mt Eliza for premiership glory PENINSULA DIVISION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The difference between the sides was Eames and Ulms.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Michael Lourey and Scott Simpson have agreed to join the Dolphins for 2013.

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

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

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

However, it is believed Seaford star Chris Irving has signed with the Dolphins for next year, while it is highly likely his brother Brayden also will sign. Brother Jarrod, of course, is already at the Dolphins.

FORMER Somerville, Frankston Dolphin, Hastings and Dromana midfielder Damon “Rocky” Lawrence has brought the curtain down on his career.

Rocky played his last game in Dromana’s grand final loss on Saturday. Sadly, he never played in a premiership.

It is also believed ruckman Seamus Thompson has called it quits, while forward Anthony Bruhn is heading overseas next season.

In better news for the Tigers, Matt Neratzaglou, brother of Jay, will line up with Dromana next season.

Saturday. The win capped off a great year for the seniors, formed in 2002. The Reserves were runners-up. The Tigers were behind

Bombers, Tony Blackford still has the drive and motivation to coach.

Blackford said he believed he still had a lot to offer and wouldn’t shut the door on his coach career.

“I went fishing on Sunday on my own and all I could think about was football,” Blackford said.

It is believed at least one club on the market for a coach has tested the water with him.

Van Unen in talks with Essendon THE 2012 Nepean Division goalkicking sensation Justin Van Unen will be interviewed by Essendon this week after booting 121 goals this season.

Van Unen was named in the AllAustralian country team and took part in the AFL Young Guns game played on Sunday, where he booted two goals.

Cup hope kicks off at Mornington

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pritchard-Gordon, whose family is steeped in the finest traditions of UK racing, subsequently went out on his own as a trainer.

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

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

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

ers in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate eve.

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

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

“He has had a foot abscess and would get worked up once he arrived at the races, but we did a lot of equestrian work with him and his manners have improved.” *** CRANBOURNE trainer Greg Eurell

could have a replacement in the stable for last year’s Cox Plate winner Pinker Pinker, who died suddenly in autumn.

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

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

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

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

“Atlantic Jewel won this race before

winning the Thousand Guineas last year and I think this filly can do the same,” the three-time Melbourne Cup winning rider said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Week 3 finals previews Friday 21 September Second preliminary final Sydney v Collingwood, ANZ Stadium, 7.50pm Preliminary final weekend starts with a blockbuster in Sydney between two of the best four teams in the competition.

The Swans go into the game after a week’s rest and a tough win against the Crows.

However, they will be without gutsy midfielder Ben McGlynn who injured his hamstring in the qualifying final.

On Saturday night, Collingwood conceded a fourgoal start to the Eagles, but fought back to record a gritty win Ben Reid was exceptional at full-back taking 10 marks, blanketing Josh Kennedy and providing plenty of run out of defence.

It was an emotionally charged performance by the Pies following the death of former teammate John McCarthy.

The fact Collingwood has to travel to Sydney won’t matter

one bit; the club has lost just one interstate game since 2010 and has beaten Sydney 11 times in a row.

The teams played in Sydney six weeks ago and the Pies came from behind to win by eight points, Dayne Beams was instrumental.

Collingwood by 2 points.

Last time they met in finals 2007 second elimination final Collingwood 18.17-125 d Sydney 13.9-87, MCG, 64,645 Best: Collingwood: Rocca, Cloke, Pendlebury, H Shaw, Rusling. Sydney: Goodes, Crouch, O’Loughlin.

Goals: Collingwood: Rocca 6, Rusling 3, Cloke 3, Buckley 1, Swan. Sydney: O’Loughlin 4, Davis 2, Malceski 2.

Saturday 22 September First preliminary final Hawthorn v Adelaide, MCG, 5.15pm In the first-ever twilight final, the all-conquering Hawks play a feisty Adelaide.

The Hawks have had the benefit of a week off after dismantling Collingwood in the qualifying final.

Despite having a quiet first half, Lance Franklin got loose in the second and kicked four goals to turn the tide toward a Hawks win.

On a sad note, forward Brendan Whitecross ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and is out.

Adelaide bounced back on Friday night, beating the Dockers by 10 points. After a slow start for the second week in a row, the Crows mounted a comeback, lead by full-forward Taylor Walker who kicked five goals.

The Crows can’t afford a slow start if they are to have any chance against the Hawks.

The teams met earlier in the year and Hawthorn cruised to an easy, 56-point win. I don’t think anyone will get near the Hawks for the rest of the season.

Hawthorn by 55 points.

Last time they met in finals 2007 first elimination final Hawthorn 15.15-105 d Adelaide 15.12-120, Docklands, 36,534 Best: Hawthorn: Franklin, Young, Hodge, Ladson, Crawford. Adelaide: Edwards, McGregor, Thompson Goals: Hawthorn: Franklin 7, Roughead 3, Bateman 1, Brown 1, Crawford 1.
