Girl foils ‘abductor’ By Keith Platt HASTINGS police are searching for a man aged in his late 30s who is alleged to have grabbed an 11-year-old girl by the arm as she was walking to school. The girl told police she was in William St at about 8.10am on Monday when approached by the man who asked her to go with him. The girl says that after refusing him she was grabbed by the arm but managed to break free and run to the Kmart shopping centre. The girl reported the incident to principal Richard Mucha when she later ar-
rived at St Mary’s Primary School. Senior Sergeant Steve Burt, of Hastings police, said the girl described the man as being Caucasian, aged in his late 30s, slim build, 170cm tall and wearing a black baseball cap, black pants and a black leather jacket over a blue top. She said he wore spectacles. Senior Sgt Burt said there was “no indication” the alleged incident was linked to abduction attempts reported recently at Tootgarook and Pakenham. In a letter sent on Monday afternoon to the parents and carers of the school’s 138 pupils Mr Mucha told them of the
incident, describing how the man had chased the girl “for some distance before stopping and leaving the area”. Mr Mucha alerted Catholic and state education authorities, other schools, kindergartens and child care centres as well as “talking about the facts” to the more senior pupils and cautioning younger ones “more generally about walking, riding, skating in a safe way before and after school and on weekends”. “The main safety tips are for children to still get to school by riding, walking etc, but to ensure they are in groups or
at least pairs,” Mr Mucha said in his letter to parents. “Students should move to and from school on the town’s Connect Hastings route.” Mr Mucha told The News that children should not be dropped off at the school until after 8.25am unless they were booked into the out of school hours care program. “There is no one on yard duty until after 8.25 and unless they are booked in to child care, we have no record of their presence in the school grounds,” he said.

Mr Mucha said some parents were reluctant to use the out of school child care program because of the charge “but there are benefits available to help them pay”. “We want the children to travel to school in groups because they are much less likely to be a target,” he said.

Meanwhile, at Mornington, a grandfather has been wrongly targeted on social media sites as a threat to school children. See Page 5.

Dolphins are ‘great gifts’ for Christmas TEN-year-old Tiana Atkinson wants people to know more about dolphins. This year she rallied her fellow Mt Eliza North Primary pupils to raise money and participate in the Dolphin Research Institute’s Walk for Western Port. Next year she will become one of her school’s four “i sea, i care” ambassadors. Tiana inherited her passion for dolphins from her mother Amanda, a member of the Hastings-based institute for two decades. Ms Jackson’s family business, Mornington Sea Glass, donates some of its profit from handmade jewellery they craft with discarded glass discovered on Mornington Peninsula beaches (www.morningtonseaglass. com.au). The institute’s Adopt-A-Dolphin program is the main way the community has supported its research and education programs for 20 years. Adopt-A-Dolphin supporters receive a certificate with background on dolphins and the institute’s work. The institute’s executive director Jeff Weir said “adopting a dolphin makes a great Christmas gift”. “It’s all about protecting all the 150 or so dolphins that live in our bays and their home, rather than getting your own dolphin,” Mr Weir said. “Children get extra material in their packs. Members also receive regular

newsletters. Adopt-A-Dolphin costs $98 and is an annual program. “Moonraker Dolphin Swims donates a voucher for a dolphin swim
with each new Adopt-A-Dolphin membership as its way of supporting the institute.” Call the Dolphin Research Institute on 1300 130 949 or go to www. dolphinresearch.org.au to join.

Archaeologist eyes past and future By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has its first Aboriginal archaeologist and cultural heritage adviser – Adam Edwards Magennis. Mr Magennis, 37, a Boonwurrung man, has just become a qualified archaeologist after studying for three years full time at La Trobe University while working for the shire. He will advise government and developers, devise cultural heritage management plans, and join 22 other Aboriginal archaeologists and the new Aboriginal Archaeologists Association, founded in early 2011. Mr Magennis has now set his sights on an honours degree, which will take two years part-time. He already has an idea for his thesis – a comparison between two of the great historical places on the peninsula, Coolart Homestead in Somers and The Briars Park in Mt Martha. It has been an intense journey for Mr Magennis who was forced to confront his “low opinion of archaeologist” after eight years working as a cultural heritage and community development officer. “I’ve seen lots of bad outcomes due to archaeology reports that lacked comprehensive detail,” he said. He is believed to be the first Aboriginal archaeologist in Victoria and the first working in local government. Mr Magennis lives in Mornington with his wife of seven years, Kylie, and their five-year-old daughter and three-year-old son. Attending university, working for the shire and playing an active part in the Aboriginal community in the southeast and on the peninsula has seen him spend far less time with his family than before the course started. “It’s been challenging physically and emotionally, that’s for sure,” he said. One challenge was sitting in class and looking at images of dead ancestors. “La Trobe has a massive artefacts collection; to most people it’s just stuff in a box, but to me it was a profound experience.” Mr Magennis grew up in Bayswater North and attended Ringwood Secondary College from years 7-10
and Box Hill Tech for year 11, where he studied graphic communications in 1991, the first year of VCE in Victoria. He became a qualified stonemason and bricklayer in 1995, and worked at various sites around the eastern suburbs. He was only the third Aboriginal man in Victoria to become a qualified bricklayer. His La Trobe course has included instruction from some of Australia’s leading academics including Dr Anita Smith, Professor David Frankel and Dr David Johnson. He has delved into historical archaeology, Pleistocene archaeology (which ended 10,000 years ago) and Victorian Aboriginal archaeology. Mr Magennis talks about cultural landscape theory, archaeological assessment based on a broad analysis of things like soil types, topography and watercourses. “It takes into account social, symbolic, ecological and geological values,” he said. “It is a system that captured my imagination and interest. “Archaeology is the lead discipline that brings in other elements.” Intuition plays a major role in archaeology, he said. “If you understand country and how the natural systems function, you can do a better job.” Mr Magennis said there were 800 registered Aboriginal sites on the peninsula. Many are near water, but many have been destroyed since Europeans arrived on the peninsula in the 1830s. The most stunning artefact he has ever uncovered on the peninsula was an axe made for a two-year-old boy, found at Cape Schanck. “Being qualified means I now have a legislative voice,” he said, “instead of just a consultative voice. Adam Magennis is offering to record or repatriate Aboriginal artefacts held by peninsula residents. “I’m not intending to reclaim artefacts, but have been involved in two repatriations and there may be other people who want to do the same. At the least there may be people who are happy to have their collections recorded for posterity.” Call Mornington Peninsula Shire’s community development department on 5950 1685 for details.

Online accusers quick to make judgement By Neil Walker FALSE rumours about a child abduction attempt in Mornington have led to wild speculation on social media sites about the motives of a man spotted near Benton Junior College. The description of the man’s car and registration number have been posted on Facebook and Twitter. However, police have cleared the grandfather of a pupil at the school of any wrongdoing. Allegations of an attempted child abduction near the college followed a similar reported attempt in Pakenham. Benton Junior College issued a letter on Monday 3 December to its pupils’ parents and carers, mentioning the Pakenham incident as part of a general awareness strategy to encourage parents to have children accompanied by at least one friend on the way to and from school. At the same time the letter was being delivered, college staff phoned parents warning that a “suspicious car” had been seen driving near the school that afternoon, Monday 3 December. In the alleged Pakenham incident a man reportedly driving an orange or red station wagon tried to abduct a 10-year-old girl on her way to school on Friday 30 November. Principal Marcus Batt told The News college staff gave the car’s registration number to parents.
Facebook users called the car driver “a sicko” who they hoped would be caught. A message posted on Twitter also listed the licence plate number, claiming its driver “steals kids”. “I shared that information with staff,” Mr Batt said. “Police told us the licence plate was stolen, so I didn’t think it would be a problem.” Mr Batt said the timing of the school’s awareness strategy letter and the sighting of the car followed by the phone calls to parents was “coincidental”. Mornington police Acting Senior Sergeant Steve Duffy confirmed the licence plate had been stolen some years ago, but had since been returned to its owner. Acting Senior Sergeant Duffy said the car’s occupant was the grandfather of a child who attended Benton Junior College. The letter and phone call from the school sparked a message on Facebook about a “suspicious car”, “a red laser”, being seen driving around the school with “stolen plates”. The car’s number plate was included in the message, which quickly spread throughout the Mornington Peninsula and beyond. The Facebook message stated that
Benton Junior College had written to and called parents warning them “not to let kids walk to school on there [sic] own or be at school unsupervised in the yard”. Facebook users called the car driver “a sicko” who they hoped would be caught. A message posted on Twitter also listed the number plate, claiming its driver “steals kids”. Detective Senior Sergeant Alex Paxton of Frankston police told The News that Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team officers had interviewed the car’s owner and confirmed he was not involved in any wrongdoing. He said police were taking no further action. Acting Inspector Matt Mulcahy, also of Frankston police, placed a notice on the “Policing on the Mornington Peninsula” blog to try to quell the rampant online speculation: “There is nothing to link this vehicle to any offence of abduction or child stealing either in the past or present. They had a legitimate reason to be in the area.” Senior Sergeant Paxton said police had not told the car owner that his number plate had been circulated on social media websites. “That aspect has not fallen within the scope of our investigation,” Senior Sergeant Paxton said.

The face painting was part of Christmas festivities that continue for the next two weeks in Hastings. Picture: Cameron McCullough

The Western Port Whisperer THE Whisperer has been on extended leave and apologises to all for the lengthy absence. Truth is The Whisperer has been on a taxpayer-funded study tour designed to gather knowledge to enable the continued fight to improve life for all Western Port citizens. The first stop was inspired by the extremely popular television Ice Road Truckers. Anyone unfamiliar with the show can be enlightened in one sentence. It is about a group of truck drivers why ply their wares in Alaska on roads made entirely of ice. Glancing into a pina colada, and pushing the little cocktail umbrella out of the way, The Whisperer had a moment of genius: how about a trip to Alaska to find out how roadmakers build roads out of ice, and give it a try here? Sure with our climate we might only get 24 hours out of the road surface before it melts away, but that’s longer than we’re getting at the moment with the existing asphalt mix used by peninsula roadmakers (rumoured to be made out of fairy floss and breadcrumbs). To his disappointment, but not before running up a hefty expense account, The Whisperer discovered things are not much different in Alaska to here. Firstly, the truckers, who drive on ice across frozen ocean, do so at the risk of falling into a hole in the road and sinking into the water, never to be seen again. Just the same as here! Next, the roads are not manufactured, but are just ploughed out of existing ice. In effect, the roads are formed by roadmakers doing little or nothing at all. This sounded familiar. Isn’t it funny – you can travel across the world but sometimes still feel like you are home. *** OVERHEARING an unsuccessful council election candidate got the attention of The Whisperer recently. “It is a disgrace. This other candidate promised to put me as second preference on their ticket, and they actually put me last. It was a barefaced lie, and I am going to the local papers!” The Whisperer lifted the brim of his Akubra briefly and glanced in the direction of the poor, delusional soul.
Lowering the brim again, The Whisperer got to thinking about what the reaction would be when he stormed into the offices of Western Port News with the shattering news. One can only imagine the reaction of the journalists who work on this paper. “That’s not news. But ring us the second they tell you the truth and we’ll hold the front page for you.” *** SPEAKING of journalism, The Whisperer read with interest an article in another newspaper about a Facebook page making claims about crimes that are supposed to have occurred in Hastings. One in particular was an alleged assault a few months ago that the Facebook page also claimed was a rape. They feared there has been some kind of cover-up. There was even a link to an article in this newspaper and the comment: “This is the ‘story’ the media is publishing.” The Whisperer couldn’t contain his interest and made a few enquiries. It seems the newspaper reported it as an assault rather than a rape and assault because that is what the police told them. Common sense seems a rare quality in some Facebook pages, especially when no one checks the facts and whatever is published is believed to be the facts. Take care to always find out the truth. It is a good rule by which to live. thewhisperer@y7mail.com Surprise development: The real estate agent who wrote this sign in Bentons Rd, Moorooduc, was probably a bit taken aback when his “investment potential” took a hit from its nearest neighbour, a rotting pine tree.

A Dame like no other OBITUARY
By Fran Henke DAME Elisabeth Murdoch died on Wednesday 5 December aged 103. Her family had been reported saying they were holding their collective breath for her since a fall three months ago. Falls contribute to the end of many lives. But not Dame Elisabeth’s surely. Having passed 100, wasn’t she indestructible? When Dame Elisabeth was about to turn 99, the newspaper I worked for thought she might not make 100 and I was despatched to Cruden Farm to glean her thoughts on longevity. Why do we ask people for the secret of their long lives? Silly question, but Dame Elisabeth was ready for it. “I realise time must be running out, but I plan to make the most of every minute and live more years yet,� she said. To another questioner on “the secret�, she replied “curiosity young man, curiosity�. Daughter of Rupert Greene, a starter at Flemington Racecourse, Elisabeth Greene, aged 19, was proposed to by journalist and newspaper executive Keith Murdoch at Cape Schanck, broadcaster Neil Mitchell recalled at a Order of Australia recipients dinner five years ago. In 1928 as a wedding present, Keith gave his bride a farm at Langwarrin. Elisabeth loved the property at first sight. Architect Harold Desbrowe-Annear extended its cottage, Percy Meldrum designed new stables and Edna Walling laid out the garden. Near neighbours and friends were the Lindsays, Daryl and Joan, whose cottage “Mulberry Hill� was “fixed up� by the same architect. Daryl Lindsay was an artist and gallery director; Joan was an author whose most famous book is Picnic at Hanging Rock. The Murdochs gave the Lindsays a handsome dining table, still there on view. Four children came along and Dame Elisabeth professed to being strict with them, because her husband was too indulgent. She told Neil Mitchell she believed in “loving discipline�. Mitchell had asked if her famous son Rupert had come in for it. She admitted he had “felt the slipper twice and it was most effective�. Sir Keith Murdoch died unexpectedly in 1952, which meant Dame Elisabeth was a widow for the greater part of her life. Mitchell asked the questions we might have asked such as: what was a typical day? She replied that she gets up at 7am, bullies herself to have a swim in her solar heated pool, makes breakfast for the gardener, then goes back to bed for a couple of hours, given that she is out nearly every night. As a young bride, then Lady Elisabeth was invited to help out at the Royal Children’s Hospital. With her customary down to earthiness, she knew it was because she was Keith’s wife and he might help. Turned out she was the one, for 80 years, who was the hospital’s greatest advocate. Invested as Dame Elisabeth in 1963, she became patron of the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. Then she went to the government to suggest that the old children’s hospital was bursting at the seams, a new one was needed. She was at its opening last year. She was a life governor of the Royal Women’s Hospital and supported 110 charitable organisations. Her fields of interest were broad and she supporting many groups in Frankston and 0n the Mornington Peninsula. Harry’s Cafe at McClelland Gallery was one of her favourite places for lunch, arriving in a non-flashy silver car. She always attended the Christmas party with artists and friends, donating $1 million to help set up the Elisabeth Murdoch Sculpture Foundation at the gallery. When McClelland Guild of Artists was preparing for its biennial art prize, Dame Elisabeth’s cheque for a couple of hundred dollars came by return mail after my request when president. She was a champion of the Melbourne Recital Centre, funded in her name by her family as a memorial. It would be, she said, a “living space for making, sharing and enjoying great music�. Dame Elisabeth was a dedicated gardener at Cruden Farm; she extended Edna Walling’s design when shade trees overtook the plan. Always a hands-on person, she planted the famed driveway’s lemon scented gums. If something wasn’t right in the garden, she fixed it herself.

Long life well lived: Dame Elisabeth Murdoch in 2008.
The garden has been shared with thousands of visitors for their pleasure and for fundraising. The day I visited, she felt it was looking “particularly wonderfulâ€?. Of course it was. Needing to attend a polio conference in the United States, I wrote to her for help. Dame Elisabeth sent a generous cheque. A Hastings friend told me about the time when her family lost everything. She heard Dame Elisabeth rented cottages on the farm to people in need. In trepidation, she drove to Cruden Farm and knocked on the front door. After a little while, one of the shutters upstairs opened “and this little old lady with her hair in rollers called out ‘Yes my dear’?â€? The state government is looking at another memorial to Dame Elisabeth. It will be a challenge. In this area we have: Elisabeth Murdoch Arboretum in Langwarrin; Langwarrin Secondary College, founded in 1987, became Elisabeth Murdoch College in 2004; Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Gallery at Woodleigh School, Baxter; she supported Frankston Arts Centre, Frankston SES and more. Cruden Farm is a living memorial. A friend who worked for the Murdochs for years believes the family has protected Cruden Farm in perpetuity, making part of the house and the garden available to the public. He said there is no way that her full story or the extent of her generosity will be known. For now, Elisabeth Murdoch, with her eternal curiosity, is learning the answer to life’s greatest secret: what’s next. May it involve rest in a celestial garden, with beautiful music; maybe a warm pool for that early morning swim. Flinders MP Greg Hunt remembers Dame Elisabeth as “simply a funny, warm and unpretentious member of the community who loved hosting visitors and never slowed downâ€?. “She [aged 93] drove my wife Paula and I around the farm on the back of an apparently jetengined four-wheel drive buggy. It was an experience in speed and she roared with laughter the whole way,â€? Mr Hunt said. “On another occasion I sat with her at a charity dinner and said, I’m your date for the evening. Quick as a flash she replied, Could do worse; could do better.â€? ď Ž A public state memorial service will be held for Dame Elisabeth at St Paul’s Cathedral in central Melbourne at 11am on Tuesday 18 December.

Fishing on the water, pier and land ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro SUMMER holidays are all about family, fun, rest and relaxation. Fishing is this and so much more to many people. Whether you’re a serious angler or a weekend dangler, the Mornington Peninsula and southeast region has much to offer. Fishing crosses generations and gender lines, making it Australia’s number one recreational pastime. Here are a few tips about where to get a feed of fish, from blue water sport fishing adventures to casting a fly at trout.
On the bays FOR those venturing out on boats, it’s fair to say snapper is the number one target. Snapper are best targeted from Mt Martha to Carrum in Port Phillip and from Cowes to Warneet in Western Port. The best time to get on the “reds” is first and last light, and the change of tide. Best bait is squid, silver whiting, pilchards, red rockets and garfish. Best location is between 16 and 21 metres of water. I always fish a running sinker rig for snapper and never use a wire trace, 1-2 metres of 40-60lb monofilament is fine. Another summer hit with fishos is the highly prized King George whiting. Anglers chasing whiting find success off Warneet, Yaringa, Tyabb, Stony Point, Balnarring and Somers in Western Port, and from Rosebud to Mt Eliza in Port Phillip. Best bait is squid, nippers, mussels, sandworm and pippies. Best results come from fishing the weed beds and reef edges in 4-6 metres of water. The best rig is a running sinker rig for slow-moving water or a paternoster rig for fast water. A size 6 to 4 long shank or wide gap hook is the best bet for hooking whiting. For those wanting to put calamari in the pan, Flinders, Cat Bay, Tyabb Bank and Somers are the hot spots for some giants in Western Port, while the biggies are also found at Portsea, Sorrento and Point Lonsdale in Port Phillip. The big inky critters are best tempted with fresh silver whiting or size 3.5-4.5 prawn imitation jigs. For anglers after normal squid, try Hastings to Warneet in Western Port and Mt Martha, Mornington, and Mt Eliza in Port Phillip. These areas are best fished with a size 2.5 squid jig tied directly to the line. Use a variety of different coloured jigs, but as a rule expect bright jigs to work best on bright days and dull jigs to work best on dull days. Another Victorian favourite is flake and there is no better flake than gummy shark. The best places to try are West Entrance, Cowes, Hastings and Boucher and Boulton channels in Western Port. In Port Phillip, try the channels off Rye, Rosebud and Sorrento or the deep water off Mt Martha and Mornington. Best bait for gummies is fresh squid, garfish and salmon as well as cured eel. The best rig is a running sinker rig with a pair of size 6/0 hooks tied to a 60-80lb monofilament leader. Use burley and be patient; the gummy is a hound shark and finds food by smell, so there is no point burleying up a place for an hour and then moving. The best time for a gummy is two hours either side of the tide.
On the ocean FOR boaties who want to hit the blue water, there are a few places within reach of the peninsula.

Reel nice days: Clockwise from left: Hire a boat for the day; Lincoln waits for a bite; Clint, Ryder and Paul with a ripping Port Phillip flathead; and Jonny Wright with a 7kg snapper caught on an expedition on Western Port in a Yaringa Boat Hire vessel.
King fish can be found off ocean bommies from Barwon Heads to Kilcunda. The best method is to trawl lures or baits using 15-24kg equipment. In search of a toothy? Mako, blue, whaler and thrasher sharks are on the cards if you “chum up” in 40-80metres of water in Bass Strait, which also holds some great bottom fishing for flathead, school and gummy shark. Some of the hotspots include Flinders bank, Rye and Phillip Island.
Hire a boat YOU don’t need to own a boat to catch a fish. You can venture out in a hire boat and do things at your own pace or join a fishing charter. In Port Phillip, snapper is the number one target, but flathead squid, whiting, salmon and garfish are also common captures by people in hire boats. In Western Port, anglers in hire boats target gummy shark, whiting, elephant fish and flathead with great success. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a boat licence to hire a boat and with prices starting at about $130 for a four-person boat for four hours, it’s a cost-effective way to get the family on the water. This time of year, fishing charter boats target many different species. From sharks to snapper and flathead to squid, there is sure to be a charter operator to suit your requirements. Prices range from about $50 to $150 a person depending on the type of fish

targeted, boat and number of people on board.
Beach fishing FOR those who prefer a land-locked option, surf, rock, pier and fresh water fishing are all on offer. During the hot summer months, surf fishing is a popular option. The surf beaches at Portsea, Rye, Gunnamatta and Point Leo are great for salmon during the day. At night, gummy shark and even mulloway is a possibility. Fish deep gutters and rips, indicated by areas where fewest breaking waves occur. Fish an hour either side of the tide or at sunrise and sunset. Use pilchards, blue bait and pippies during the day, and salmon, squid and pilchards at night. The best rig for general fishing is a two dropper paternoster rig with a size 4 star sinker. I use a surf popper on the bottom dropper (to keep pesky crabs away) and a size 1/0 hook on the top.
Pier fishing FISHING off piers can be a great family option as well as a very productive one. There is no sand and you won’t get sea sick. Popular piers include Flinders, Stony Point, Frankston, Rye, Portsea and Mornington. If you’re in search of squid and whiting, Mornington, Flinders, Portsea, Sorrento and Stony Point piers are good places. For snapper, try Mornington. Stony
Point and Mordialloc piers are also an option. If you’re after a feed of garfish or salmon, try Rye, Rosebud, Mornington and Frankston piers. Best bait is squid, mussels, pippies, prawn, sandworm, blue bait and silverfish. Always use fresh bait and remember not all fish are caught off the end of a pier. Rock hoppers: If you like rock fishing, try the cliffs at Hearn and Ian roads in Mt Martha. Linley Point and Schnapper Point in Mornington also are worth a go. Rock anglers regularly catch squid, garfish, salmon, whiting and snapper. Best bait is squid, mussels and garfish, and best times are first and last light. Use bomb or snapper sinkers as they are less prone to snag, but spoon sinkers are the best. While the peninsula offers many ocean rock platforms, they are dangerous places and not recommended for beginners.
Freshwater fishing FOR anglers who like the ambience of creeks and impoundments, the peninsula has more options with the opening of Devilbend Reserve, which is between Mt Martha and Hastings at Tuerong (Melway map 152 and 153). Stocked with redfin, rainbow and brown trout and with rumours of black fish, eel and marron, the newly opened reserve is fast attracting a following. It has fishing platforms and a picnic area,
and is a family friendly fishing option. If you’re after bream, Balcombe Creek at Mt Martha and Patterson River at Carrum are worth a try. Most popular methods are bait fishing with prawns, but soft plastics are a genuine option for those more adventurous or wanting to avoid “bait fingers”. When fishing in fresh water, keep your fishing gear as light as possible. Hooks should be a size 6 to 2 with my preferred hook pattern being a straight shank bait holder. The best rig is a running sinker rig with about 40cm of 6lb monofilament trace or a lightly weighted bubble float with the trace set to just above the weeds. There is a holiday fishing option to suit everybody, no matter your level of experience. So grab the rods, organise the crew and get on the water (or pier) this holiday season. You might catch the fish of a lifetime or at least strengthen the bond with friends and family. Tight lines and calm seas. Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for magazines and brings his knowledge to MP News Group for season 2012-13.

Lifesavers flagging beach smoke bans SMOKING has been banned within 50 metres of lifesavers’ flags at Point Leo and all other patrolled beaches on the Mornington Peninsula. The statewide ban came into effect this week along with a $140 penalty. Smoking is now banned over summer at all patrolled beaches in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. The ban was introduced by the state government to protect beach users from secondhand smoke and to reduce children’s and young people’s exposure to smoking, which may influence their adult behaviour. The government says smokers will initially be encouraged to self-regulate when near the red and orange flags.
No-smoking signs will be installed at the beaches. Similar bans are already in place in Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland. The government says it will fund councils to train officers to enforce the new regulations. The bans have been welcomed by health groups. The government says it has the support of other political parties. In September the Municipal Association of Victoria lobbied the government to extend smoking bans in public places, sports grounds and outside schools. Keith Platt
Hamming it up THE Christmas ham might only cost a dollar if there’s a bit of luck running in the family. Western Port Oberon Association supported by Western Port Tourism is raffling 50 Bertocchi leg hams one after the other from 6pm on Friday 14 December on the Hastings foreshore opposite the shire office. The idea has been brought to Hastings by Max Bryant of the Oberon association. “I went to a ham raffle in the small outback NSW town of Darlington Point. It’s an annual event that it is extremely popular with members of
the community, some of whom travel long distance from their farms to attend,� he said. “We’re not sure if it will take off, so we reserve the right to end the raffles if the numbers do not justify the expenses. We’re hoping to create a Christmas event unique to Hastings and hope it will become an annual event for the Western Port community.� Tickets are being sold at Computers. Dotcom near the Victoria St entrance to Coles and at Western Port Tourism Info Centre at Dominion Hill, opposite the Westernport Hotel bottleshop.

Car park hums to opening THE first stage of Frankston Hospital’s multi-storey car park is open. One of the first vehicles to arrive was a hot pink stretch Hummer with a load of Pink Ladies, volunteers who help at the hospital. The car park alongside the hospital’s front entrance has 330 spaces available with another 240 to follow early next year. “The car park will make visiting the

hospital a little easier for many of our visitors and staff,� infrastructure director Simon Brewin said. He said parking fees would remain unchanged while work continued on the area surrounding the car park. “Every effort has been taken to ensure fees are reasonable with the decision being made to operate the car park privately instead of outsourcing to operating companies as many other
hospitals do,� Mr Brewin said. “For those who prefer it, the hospital’s existing open air parking will still be available with the current ticket system to remain in place.� Undercover fees will be: up to 15 minutes free; 16 minutes to one hour $2.50; 1-2 hours $3.50; 2-3 hours $5.50 ($1 for each additional hour to maximum of $10 a day); and weekly $30.

Getting ready to tow a caravan MANY people have been driving for years and developed survival skills that only come with experience, and, may I say, a little luck. Some have driven to work in peak hour, have travelled interstate numerous times, both in daylight and in darkness, with little more than a flat tyre to ruin the trip. Now you are getting ready for retirement or decided that the kids need a more comfortable place to sleep when on holidays. The next step up from the trusty tent trailer or camper is a caravan. What size? What layout? How heavy? Pop-top or a full caravan? Does it need to have a shower and toilet? How do I connect it? How should I tow it? These and many other questions can be answered by attending a four-hour caravan towing course. At Utow Caravans we have Certificate 4 trainers who can provide the information that you need to get started on the road to success. Our course covers areas such as:
Compatibility of driver and vehicle, car and caravan. Hitch types and applications. Weight distribution types including sway control. Caravan weights – loading, ball weight, legal limitations. Safety, servicing, travelling on the road, site selection and various state road laws relating to towing. We have the training and qualification to test and tag your electrical items. Most caravan parks now require the
external lead to be tested and tagged for safety. But are your inside electrical appliances still safe? U-Tow Caravans can do servicing for your caravan at our premises. We also have a wide range of caravan accessories at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville. We can be contacted on www.utowcaravans.com, email utowcaravans@bigpond.com, or phone 5978 0083 or 0400 777 698.

Station master THE peaceful Balnarring lifestyle does not get much better than this beautiful, resortinspired family property with all the trimmings. Set on a landscaped 1000-square metre block, the home is privately set behind a tall row of hedges, providing total privacy for the pool and front yard areas. From the double garage - which does have internal access there is a pathway leading up to the front door of the home. From the wide hallway, you enter into a spacious family room and then into a splendid open-plan area which utilises every corner, with plenty of room for a lounge and dining and even a study corner for students has been incorporated. There is a recessed television unit and the entire space has a sunny northerly aspect and a delightful view of the front garden. An impressive kitchen has a wraparound benchtop and there is plenty of cupboard space. Appliances include a wall-oven and dishwasher. When moving in, new owners will also like the wide entry from the living room to the family room - even the largest sofas and widescreen televisions should fit through with ease. A third living area is the fantastic games room with space for the billiard table and a great built-in bar. The home has three bedrooms and a separate office with fitted desk which could be a fourth if required. For parents, the main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe and two more bedrooms have built-in robes. If the living and bedroom areas of the home take up half the available space then the expansive entertaining areas take up the other half. A huge undercover area practically doubles the living space and from the pergola you have a great view of the solar heated, in-ground pool and spa, which is all securely fenced. Space is definitely not at a premium here, you get a lot of home for your money. The rear garden is also landscaped and there are two sheds with the double garage also boasting a workshop area.

Healthy Living Help to treat sore feet and legs
SPORTS podiatrist Dr Paul Dowie is a former athletics champion and member of the Australian Olympic squad. Now one of Australia’s most experienced podiatrists focusing on musculoskeletal issues and the founder of the very successful Foot + Leg Pain Clinics, Dr Dowie says he is having great success assisting peninsula residents to end foot and leg pain, heal injuries and assist degenerative issues. “With your feet being one of your most important and relied on assets, they are often the most neglected. They play a major role in nearly all our physical activities and support your whole body every single day, yet we squeeze them into ill-fitting and unsupportive shoes and don’t give them much thought or attention – except when something goes wrong. “The feet may be far more important than we realise, playing an important role in our physical, mental and emotional health. “We rely on feet for mobility, balance and posture. However when things go wrong, feet can be the cause of all sorts of physical pains and problems in many parts of the body including ankles, knees, hips and backs. Foot ailments can
be the first sign of more serious medical problems, with early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often showing initially in the feet. Additionally, scientific research demonstrates the direct affect chronic foot pain can have on our mental health. If you can’t move around freely or are in pain, it can take a huge toll on mental and emotional wellbeing. “The good news is that we are now able to treat nearly all foot and leg issues, naturally and relatively easily without the use of harmful medications and surgery. You just need the right treatment and advice.” With past patients including many world No 1 tennis players and champion golfers, Olympic gold medallists and players from the Australian cricket team, Dr Dowie and the Foot + Leg Pain Clinics are well placed and more than experienced enough to assist locals of all ages and activity levels with foot and leg concerns. Foot + Leg Pain Clinics are located across Melbourne including the Mt Eliza clinic at 135 Mt Eliza Way. Call for $50 off initial consultations on 1300 328 300.

To market, to market at Emu Plains BALNARRING is the place to be on Saturday for the first Emu Plains Market. The market will be held on the third Saturday each month from December to April from 8am to 1pm. Co-organiser Vanessa Johnson said the market would “reintroduce the sleepy seaside town of Balnarring to a vibrant market destined to become a haven for residents and foodies looking for unique arts and crafts and fresh, organically grown produce”. “Guided by the ethos ‘we make it, bake it, collect it and grow it’, Emu Plains will be a market experience on an eclectic and grand scale, with 120 stalls featuring unique, inspiring and fresh produce from bountiful regions around Western Port,” she said. “Market-goers can engage directly with farmers, artisans and producers. “Our mantra is simple: explore, taste, rummage and be inspired by the beautiful setting beneath a sun-dappled canopy of ancient stringybarks.” Joel and Vanessa Johnson want to create a fairground atmosphere and promise a fantasy land for gourmets and gourmands. “This has as much to do with the location, beside Balnarring Racecourse, as with the produce, merchandise, music and entertainment we’ve selected,” Ms Johnson said. “Stallholders will be selling everything from cheeses to homespun arts and crafts. “You can snack on handmade donuts, gourmet tacos and other calorie crimes as you fill shopping bags. Emu Plains will be the living embodiment of what a market should be. “This is shopping as our mums knew it; friendly, leisurely, wholesome and eclectic. “We’ll cater for everyone including metropolitan sophisticates lured by luxury soaps, wine and olive oils as well as seekers of vintage treasures. “With a huge range of ready-to-eat foods, you’ll be able to munch your way around and buy peninsula produce, from honey to fruit and
THE Peninsulas FRESHEST MARKET vegetables, direct from the producers. “You won’t have to lug your purchases far as there is a gigantic car park. “Wine tastings, live music and kids’ activities will provide all-day respite under the stringybarks. “This part of the peninsula is such a small place; everyone involved in food and wine knows everyone else, so it’s no secret where the best and freshest produce comes from. “We’re inviting people to tap into a fabulous network of growers, local farmers and the like. “This will be the start of a personal slow food journey for some and that’s what we want to encourage.” Details: Emu Plains Market, 8am-1pm, Saturday 15 December, Balnarring Racecourse, Coolart Rd, Balnarring. Free admittance, parking $4 with proceeds going to Hastings Rotary and Emu Plains Reserve.
GRAND OPENING! Sat 15th Dec 8am to 1pm A brand new market showcasing Melbourne and the Peninsulas very best makers, creators, growers and collectors. Over 100 stalls, kids entertainment, live music, loads of gourmet food & fresh produce!

Poetry bombing part of bigger pictures THE laneway next to Terry White Pharmacy was a hive of activity on Saturday 8 December as people climbed soapboxes to recite poetry and artists worked on art installations. The Peninsula Poets took up residency for the day in an event described as a poetry bombing. The words flowed fluidly, followed by a liberal application of glue as the completed original poems and spoken word pieces were glued to the wall of the laneway. The artful display will be enclosed inside a large painted frame for all to see. The ‘bombers’ are a group of poets who meet for a monthly workshop on the 1st Saturday of every month at Mornington Library. They also host a poetry slam at Bartiste in Frankston on the 4th Sunday of each month. The poetry bombing forms part of the Adopt-a-HotSpot project which is a collaborative initiative of Morn-
ington Peninsula Shire, Hastings Police and the Western Port Chamber of Commerce with the intention of bringing something new and inspired to the laneways and walls around Hastings. Down the laneway a little, a young man was working studiously on his contribution to the beautification project. Mornington resident Dale Hutchinson produced a piece entitled ‘Sea Change’ depicting the contrast between industry and nature in Hastings. Having recently completed a Diploma in Screen and Media at Swinburne, this was the ninteen year olds first comissioned work. A combination of stencils and drawing, the work took Dale four days to complete. The project was an initiative of former Cerberus Ward councillor Reade Smith and was funded from his Councillor Discretionary Fund earlier this year.

Poppy’s Problem-solving
THE Beach Boys have been singing about summer, the beach, surfing, girls and hot rods for 50 years. Inspired by the Everly Brothers, Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson began performing together with their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine in 1961. The band signed to Capitol Records in 1962 and their music gained popularity for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a southern California youth culture. For music fans raised on the harmonies and melodies that defined a generation, The Beach Boys 50th anniversary was celebrated with an album featuring all new material and a 75-date world tour. The Beach Boys played to sold out crowds and received rave reviews at every stop, from Hollywood Bowl to its conclusion at London’s Wembley Arena with an epic 55- song set. The excitement of the 2012 tour lives forever on DVD and Blu-Ray: The Beach Boys: Live in Concert 50th Anniversary Tour. The DVD comes hot on the heels of a remarkably productive year for the band, which saw the release of their first album in 16 years, That’s Why God Made the Radio (Capitol), and The Beach Boys: Doin’ it Again, which features live performances, behind the scenes footage from the 2012 recording sessions, as well as never before seen film of the 1966 Good Vibrations recording sessions, and moving tributes to founding members Carl and Dennis Wilson. The Beach Boys: Live in Concert 50th Anniversary includes all the hits including Do it Again, Little Deuce Coupe, Sloop John B, and Good Vibrations. www.capitolrecords.com and www.thebeach boys.com *** THE Melbourne season of the award-winning play War Horse has been extended even before it starts. Representatives of the National Theatre of Great Britain and Global Creatures said the extension was due to high demand for tickets to the multiple Tony and Olivier award-winner. Extra performances over three additional weeks at the Arts Centre Melbourne’s State Theatre CHK go on sale this week. Praised by critics and audiences alike, the Australian premiere of War Horse is at the State Theatre on New Year’s Eve and there will be preview performances from 23 December.

diences on an emotionally charged journey via amazing production elements, superb talent and imagination. At its heart are astonishing puppets strong enough for people to ride, created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, which brings breathing, galloping and charging horses to life on the stage. The 33 Australian cast members include actors and puppeteers. Nick Stafford’s stage adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s book War Horse tells the story of Joey, the beloved horse of a boy called Albert, who is sold to the cavalry at the outbreak of the First World War. Shipped to France, Joey is soon caught up in enemy fire and fate takes him on an extraordinary odyssey, serving on both sides before ending up alone in no man’s land. Although not old enough to enlist, Albert embarks on a treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home. Season runs 2 January to 3 March.

Almost 35
years later, John Travolta and Olivia NewtonJohn have combined their iconic voices for This Christmas. The duo will donate their proceeds from the album to the Jett Travolta Foundation and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne. The album contains one original song, the aptly titled I Think You Might Like It, the sequel to the duo’s Grease smash hit of all those years ago. It, too, has been written and produced by John Farrar. “John Farrar was just as hard on me now as he was then,” laughs Travolta. “We went for perfection on it. It was really fun to do that,” Newton-John said. Songs include Baby it’s Cold Outside, Silent Night, White Christmas, and Deck the Halls (featuring James Taylor). www.jett-travolta-foundation.org and www. oliviaappeal.com Top 10 albums

DORA rang me to seek advice about Cleetis, her husband of 48 years. She was at her wits’ end and wanted to know what to do about Cleetis’s “debenture” (Dora was originally a blonde). I immediately engaged my financial brain to help them. Financial advice is pretty easy: draw a line down the middle of a page, write all income on the left, expenditure on the right, and ensure expenditure does not exceed income. All the yuppies reading this beware! This is truth. Dora told me Cleetis was becoming hard to live with and the noise was driving her insane. On enquiring how “noise” affected finances, she explained it was the constant slamming of the toilet seat that made her want to scream. I must admit that even I was having trouble keeping up with this train of events. Dora explained that since Cleetis had suffered “debenture” he spent an inordinate time on toilet duties. So much so he would go to the toilet, lift the lid (it had taken her more than 30 years to train him to put the seat down) and then she would hear it flush. No sooner than this happened, Cleetis, or Cleet as she called him for short, would attempt to repeat the process because “he didn’t seem to know if he was going or coming”. Cleet had also taken to wandering and was often brought home by nice ladies. He seemed to like this and wandered a lot, certainly enough to worry Dora. Dora also said the only clothing he wanted to wear was his brown cardigan and green corduroy trousers, his favourite apparel before he sold his Volvo. Now, all you people who are laughing please stop and take a reality check because some of you will travel this route. Actually I can see you, and you over there, and the bloke over there drinking a stubby are prime candidates for “debenture”. Poppy’s solution This is a hard one to deal with so bear with me. I did not want to belittle the issue because so many of us are heading down this road, and good advice is hard to obtain. Not only that, the problem of the toilet seat to date remains unsolved. I advised Dora to buy a large name tag and put her phone number and address on it and pin on Cleet’s brown cardigan so the nice ladies could bring him home. I said buy a Meyer lemon tree and plant it in the backyard and train Cleet in the irrigation thereof. Dora also asked me if it was okay for her to occasionally have something to keep her spirits up. I suggested stubbies, but Dora told me she didn’t want to go down the path of that bloke drinking the stubbies previously mentioned, and would sherry be all right. Poor Dora, she didn’t know that “sherry” no longer exists due to naming rights, and I told her to ask for sweet fortified wine instead, and to ensure she partakes of it for medicinal purposes only.
A Grain of Salt YOU have to wonder how any of us survived if half of what the Australian Medical Association tells us is true. Lately it’s drinking alcohol causes prostate cancer. The AMA pronouncements regularly thrown our way are given with a superior air of certainty similar to indoctrination. Take prostate or breast cancer treatment. You discover “Oh no, they don’t go down that track anymore; they do it this way”. What was wrong with the other way? No answer; just moving on to another form of current certainty. I don’t mind that they’ve changed course 1000 times in the past 100 years; I do mind they always retain this “holier than thou” attitude. “Hospitals need to know that the appropriate amount of alcohol for a pregnant woman is zero.” “The baby doesn’t have a freedom of choice.” Is that like the freedom of choice offered to single mother babies during the 1950s-1970s? The only freedom of choice in our world on matters medical is the AMA’s choice, always subject to change. As for the cigarette packets; that’s really sick. Smoking causes blindness? Not according to what I was told at 14. Did I stop for nothing? Shades of A Clockwork Orange in the 1970s on behavioural therapy and the idea of showing the sick man those dreadful images to condition him in an effort to remove
PAGE 32
his vice from his psyche. Using this form of medical knowledge (?) to control people is dangerous. We wait patiently for the return of freedom of choice and comfort ourselves with the knowledge that our government receives $14 billion yearly from tobacco excise and millions more from alcohol and medications. I recall seeing a sign at a swimming pool: “Do not swim fast”. I wonder if the AMA was responsible. *** RALPH Blewitt, former union “bagman” who’s been speaking out against Julia (and arguably loose with the truth according to his sister), has been described as “a confessed patron of Balinese brothels”. What’s that got to do with the price of fish? Poor Julie Bishop stepped up a class taking on Queen Julia; always fun to see two hard-hitting females go toe to toe. Julie was out of her league, but credit where it’s due; she had a red hot go. I suspect the fat lady has yet to sing. *** IGNORANT parochialism is alive and well, every day in every way. Perhaps some connection with the main body of Herald Sun readers; heaps of correspondence from weird, whinging contributors. Hey, we came second to Switzerland (The Economist) in “which country will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life in
Western Port News 11 December 2012
the years ahead”. Try SBS News for a genuine perspective. It can become a health hazard reading those letters. If symptoms persist, see your health care professional. What exactly is a health care professional? Doctors have a recorded message for all patients: “take these antibiotics and stop smoking and drinking”. Chemists will suggest a form of relaxation pill as will health shops but the same pill comes at exorbitant prices. Health shop owners cheer when you enter. The coffee shops supply the Herald Sun so one becomes stuck with it. The Age is a cheap form of Serepax. I read some good comedy from Andrew Bolt, who describes himself as “a rare conservative journalist” rather than the obvious “right-wing you know what”. I shall hibernate/ponder for a month from the Christmas/January passing parade of beautiful ladies and that ugly carnival. As Bobby Menzies would say, “I did but see them passing by”. *** THE wonderful realisation by a mother released from her Malaysian jail that the children she deserted as babies were now so important to her; she wants them back; such sweet heartwrenching stuff. Then, of course, the honesty of the Catholic clergy shining through like a Point Lonsdale beacon on the blink; comparing this with a 30-year-old female teacher caught
having consensual sex with a testosterone strapping 16-year-old student; losing her job and placed on the sex offenders list for years. Not to worry, we are having a Royal Commission. A two-year hearing? Plus six months to write the report, another six for the pollies to consider it. Three years minimum should shut us up. Why not simply do the Ballarat area as a starter? Worry not; we have Victoria’s new anti-corruption legislation, which is likely to bring crooks (not including politicians) to justice within a time frame of never. Justice is a misnomer. *** AND so it came to pass in downtown roundabout city Rye that another roundabout appeared, on the corner of Lyons and Nelson streets, which was envisaged before Aldi reneged on building a new store. “Traffic management,” they explained. If nothing else it caught the amused attention of us suffering residents. No matter the necessity for a roundabout one block down – Collingwood into Lyons, dog leg to Sullivan where the real road confusion lies. Progress is progress? Here’s a suggestion for you busy bees in council: double the size of the street signs along Melbourne Rd. Dangerous enough all year, but dynamite during January. Hello! Are you there? Also, apparently the Collingwood
By Cliff Ellen street sign keeps getting stolen; who by?” *** RANDOM thoughts: I fancy Collingwood as the baby’s name, assuming a boy obviously. Go Kate. Well played, Ricky Ponting; a wonderful effort. But the best batsman since Bradman? They’re kidding. A ceasefire after eight days of death and destruction and the Palestinians respond with “God has intervened”? Television tells me Home and Away is “outstanding drama”. Very funny. Why do members of the Wilderness Society in Tassie look exactly like you’d expect wilderness society members to look? Finally, a tip for the females: with obvious exceptions, it’s not up to the male; never was, never will be. Females should realise that the “fear of refusal” lies deep within. The first sign must come from the female. “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.” Albert Einstein. Adios amigos. cliffie9@bigpond.com
Hamburgers versus existentialism SOME questions demand an answer. In this category, I’d include the queries: what’s the time, who are you and, of course, do you know the way to San Jose? Then there are other questions we end up spending our whole lives trying to answer. Why are we here? Does my existence in an infinite universe really matter? Exactly when did Shane Warne start looking like a police identikit picture? But there is a third category. These are questions that demand not so much an answer as another question. Or, if not a further inquiry, then the kind of silence that only deep, deep space can rival. Into this category I would put the following: would you like that in a meal? I had just placed an order at a fast food restaurant. Specifically, I had requested a burger, chips and an orange juice. Having repeated my order into a microphone, the young person pushed away his ample fringe and through a mouthful of braces that would undoubtedly prevent him from entering most of the county’s airports, asked me a question that stopped me dead in my tracks. Would you like that in a meal? To be brutally honest, when ordering the burger, the chips and, indeed, the drink, I had done so in the full belief that these items would almost certainly constitute a meal. This inclination was only strengthened by the fact that I had placed the order at something quite brazenly calling itself a restaurant rather than, say, a laundromat. Had I asked for a burg-
er, chips and a drink at the hairdressers or written it down on a withdrawal slip before handing it to bank teller number three, they would be well within their rights to ask this question. But surely such enquiries are unnecessary at a restaurant? I don’t pretend to be an expert, but I’ve always imagined that meals are pretty much the entire point of restaurants. I’m yet to discover an eatery that both serves food and prepares your tax return, even though that would be awesome. It’s little wonder I was so confused. As I stood, slack of jaw, a very long and (quite probably) very hungry queue of people formed behind me. No doubt the people had made the same rookie mistake I had and were lining up in the genuine belief that they were about to order a meal rather
than be confronted with one of the greatest existential challenges of this age or any other. The young man standing opposite me, whose jaw was even slacker than mine and wore a name badge that said “Algernon”, let his mouth hang open like the 18th hole. Between us, we looked like a pair of sideshow alley clowns. Part of the reason for my confusion has to be that I’m ignorant of the other available options. What happens if I decide not to have them in a meal? Will the burger no longer be a burger? And if meat, lettuce, cheese and tomato interspersed between two halves of a bun is not a burger then – in the name of all that is holy – what is it? Because if a burger is not a burger, then the Hamburglar would have to be the most deeply misunderstood and
wrongly persecuted individual in living memory. That’s to say nothing of the drink and chips. Perhaps I should have been more confident. When asked whether I would like my hamburger, chips and drink in a meal, I should have said “no” in a loud and commanding voice, before adding, “I’d like them in a poem. Preferably a haiku but, if push comes to shove, a limerick will suffice”. Had Algernon’s face not already been an emotional black hole, this would surely have tipped it into a sentimental abyss. I should have asked for my order in a bouquet. Or maybe a Ford Focus. Or a pair of slimming trousers. Then again, perhaps I’d misunderstood the question. It could easily be that young Algernon was not asking me whether
I wanted my order “in a meal” but “inner meal”, referring to some higher state of Zen-like spiritual contentment. The answer to this inquiry would naturally be “but of course!” If sold as an inner meal, though, they should probably supply incense and scented candles also, to give you the greatest chance of ascending to a higher plane of spiritual existence while seated in the food court. But in the fast food game, there is little time to contemplate the meaning of your life, much less whether you really want your order to be supplied to you “in a meal” or, for that matter, as an “inner meal”. People are hungry and impatient. And Algernon’s face, which had previously been so perfectly immobile as to resemble a ventriloquist’s dummy after the owner went home for the evening, was at risk of moving. There was really nothing for it other than to surrender. “Yes, I suppose so,” I answered. Moments later, my food arrived. Not in a bouquet, a poem or a Ford Focus. Not even in a pair of pants. Instead, my food arrived in a brown paper bag with a couple of serviettes and a plastic straw tossed inside. Had Algernon asked me if I wanted my food in a paper bag rather than a meal, I’d have answered him instantly. Seated in the food court, I took a long sip of my orange juice, and thought about life, hamburgers and the universe. As you do. www.stuartmccullough.com

Old Boys’ bats fail as top Dogs make hay PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys’ fall from grace continued on Saturday when it was bundled out for a miserly 112 against Heatherhill in MPCA Provincial cricket. The once powerful Old Boys have taken a dive in recent times and the lowly ranked Hills made them look second-rate once again on day one of the last game for 2012. The Hills are just 45 runs from victory with seven wickets in hand after scoring 3/66 by the end of the day. Earlier, Heatherhill’s Ben Frith was dominant with the cherry, claiming 5/36, while Jake Theobald made his
presence felt in snaring 2/9. Skipper Matty Meagher was at his best and picked up two wickets. The Hills’ Dean Shaw top-scored with 27 when the run chase began. Mornington’s Rob Hearn and Ben Clements were at it again on Saturday against Long Island, putting the team in a good position after the first day, Hearn scoring 138 and Clements 66. Hearn has been a revelation for the Doggies since joining last season, while Clements hasn’t put a foot wrong since returning from Frankston Peninsula a few rounds ago. Anthony Gapes made 26 for the Dogs. Sorrento is in a commanding position against neighbour Rye after rolling the team for just 133.
A lot was expected of the Demons this season with a number of recruits, including the legendary Darren Groves from Frankston Peninsula, but the Demons have failed to fire a shot so far. Ben Ashworth with 27 and Aaron Vernon with 26 were the best of the Demons’ bats, while the wickets were shared around for the Sharks. In reply, the visitors have lost one wicket, but Nick Jewell is still at the crease on 25 not out. His side is 1/29 heading into day two of the clash. Mt Eliza sensation Justin Grant can do it all. He can turn a match on its head with his bowling ability or score runs. On Saturday against Ballam Park, it was Grant’s day with the willow, scoring a sensational 112.
Haydn Gavine, who hasn’t played a lot of senior cricket due to being one of the state’s best up-and-coming AFL field umpires, grabbed his opportunity in the First XI and helped himself to 66. The Mounties are on track for a comfortable outright win. The home side bowled Ballam Park out for just 89, opening quick Sam Creffield tearing through the Knights’ bats, taking 6/54. Lyle House continued his fantastic season with 4/23. The Mounties have 75 overs this weekend to bowl the Knights out again and chase the required runs for the 20 points. History says Mt Eliza won’t need to bat again. Moorooduc is in all sorts of trouble
against Crib Point after being skittled for just 131 on Saturday. Luke Herrington was again sensational for the Pies with 3/15, Henry Dolphin was a nuisance with 2/29 and Symes and Barclay each picked up two wickets. In reply, Dolphin is still at the crease for the Pies with the score looking okay at 2/49. In the final game, Baxter has some work to do against Mt Martha after the home side scored a competitive 180. Dave Sands was the best of the Reds’ bats with 64. Baxter shared the bowling workload with Dale Irving the pick with 3/26. Matters snared 3/38 and Adrian Mack was economical in taking 2/9.
Blues skittled by Parkers as Braves’ ton-maker helps set Ridge a task DISTRICT By IT Gully HASTINGS is in enormous trouble in its match against Delacombe Park in MPCA District cricket after a disastrous day with the bat in the round six match, bowled out for less than 100. The Blues lost their first six wickets before the score had past 50. Scott Phillips and Timmy Birch are usually the prize scalps for the Blues and both were sent packing for just 10 on Saturday. Brad Watson was among the runs in the last match, but was removed for one, and youngster Chris Sawosz, better known for his bowling, was given the opening job and lost his wicket without scoring. It was a tough assignment for the youngster, given that Stuart Anderson and Chris Brittain were throwing down thunderbolts early. Isuru Dias, who usually does quality work with the ball for the Blues, was left with little choice but to produce something special with the bat. He obliged with 26, Hastings’ top score. Chris Brittain finished the afternoon with five wickets for the Parkers. He is starting to find on a regular basis the devasting form that can tear sides apart. It’s going to be an early day for the teams on day two, the visitors needing just 62 runs to win with nine wickets in
hand when they resume at 1/34, chasing just 95. Baden Powell’s Anjula Perera scored a century on Saturday as his side amassed 8/325 against Main Ridge. Perera is in his second season with the Braves after spending his debut year in the MPCA with Langwarrin. The nuggety little left-hander was superb on Saturday and has put his side in a fantastic position to pick up a win at the Ridge, always a tough task. Main Ridge skipper Brendan Rossborough was the pick of his side’s bowlers with 2/66, and Jason Albress snared 2/72 in what proved to be a tough day for the bowlers. Langwarrin coach Mark Cooper enjoyed his longest time at the crease on Saturday against Seaford with a season-high top score of 81. Cooper enjoyed a solid opening partnership with Simon McEvoy (41), while reigning medal winner David Ross has continued to be a nuisance with the bat since returning and scored 32. Danny Weare chipped in with 27 for the Kangas to help the home side to 8/236. Chris Cleef was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 3/65. Shaun Foster was at his run-scoring best on Saturday for Carrum in its match against Boneo. Foster scored 70 of Carrum’s 233, while Dylan Steed also was among the runs with 59. Daniel Polson ensured
he remained one of the competition’s highest run-scorers with 30. Ryan Jellie snared 2/37 for Boneo to be his side’s most economical bowler, and Glen Peterson was chief wickettaker with figures of 3/35. Pines will need to be at its best with the bat after Somerville posted a competitive score of 8/196 on a good track at Eric Bell Reserve. Craig Black top-scored for the Eagles with an unbeaten 61, and Ben Delaney was next best with 31. A number of other batsmen got starts but couldn’t go on with the job. Ricky Ramsdale was the pick of the Piners’ bowlers with 4/68, while the spiritual leader of the team, Brett Remy, was superb with 2/27. Nick Wilcox is fast becoming one of the quality all rounders in the competition and helped himself to 2/46. Frankston YCW will need to produce something it hasn’t been able to do since its premiership years – score 300 runs. Flinders batted first against the Stonecats on Saturday and put together a score of 307. Nathan Hunt was the main run-scorer with 84, while Tim Clarke was next best with 65. Several Flinders players got among the runs with Power getting 44, Beggs 35 and Morsman an unbeaten 28.

Hillmen and Buds fight hard for supremacy SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully ROSEBUD is in an unexpected position against the side most likely to challenge it for the title, Red Hill. The ladder leaders batted first on Saturday on their home deck after losing the toss and being sent in. It was a baffling decision by Hillmen coach Simon Dart but it paid immediate dividends. Greg McCann and Darren Kerr have been sensational for the Buds this sea-

son opening the innings, but both were back to the shed on Saturday before the score had reached 10. Ross Corfield was on fire early for the Hillmen and responsible for getting rid of both openers. Without Maher in the line-up, coming in at three, it was going to be interesting to see how the Buds stood up to the pressure. They were quickly 3/21 before Leigh Parslow (30) and Peter Doughty (22) got the Buds back on track. Brian
Western Port News 11 December 2012
Doughty then scored 20 and number 11 Scott Millar contributed 22 to help the home side to a slightly less than reasonable 158. The Hillmen should get the runs, but Rosebud is slick with the ball and is capable of getting the 10 wickets. Balnarring’s purple patch continued when it scored 273 against Tootgarook. Brendan Saker was again at his best with the bat, top-scoring with 79, while Chris Murphy helped himself to 42 and
Timmy Jessup 38. The Tooters are 0/2 in reply. Corey Hand was at his mercurial best on Saturday for Seaford Tigers against French Island, scoring an unbeaten 100. With O’Neil scoring 49 and Burgdorf 38, the Tigers were able to put together 9/279. Pearcedale is 1/29 in reply to Skye’s 173 after day one of their round six match. Skye was in some early trouble at
5/54, before Tim Koeford scored 42, Rob Gruer 28 and Darcy Merlo 26. Lachlan Cross and Justin Heysham were the pick of the Pearcedale bowlers with 3/24 and 3/32 respectively. Jedd Savage top-scored for Dromana with 59 and Mark Whitehead was among the runs again with 26 to help the side to a competitive 175 against Carrum Downs. Simon Worker was the best of the Cougars’ bowlers with 4/24, and Chamara Perera snared 2/32.

Hastings Firsts batsmen fall like flies HASTINGS CRICKET
By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Firsts played Delacombe Park for a place in the top four leading in to the Christmas break. Winning the toss and batting on a very hot and windy day should have been an advantage for the Blues’ batsmen, but Delacombe Park’s bowlers had other ideas as they exploited poor shot selection and running between wickets and rolled Hastings for a paltry 95. Five batters reached double figures and Issy Dias, batting at number 8, topscored with 26. Having only batted for 51 overs, Hastings had to make an immediate impact on the Delacombe Park openers but they had other ideas, dug in and
showed the Blues how to place value on your wicket as they reached 1/34 at stumps. Tim Birch took the only wicket to fall. Seconds v Delacombe Park: As in previous weeks, four forced changes had to be made, then Hastings lost the toss and had to bowl in the heat. Delacombe Park made steady progress against some tight bowling but was aided by five dropped catches before the tea break by which time it had reached 1/113 off 43 overs. After tea the Parkers were cruising at 2/208 in the 56th over when Jake Ryan took 4 wickets in the space of 9 overs to reduce the team to 7/233 off 65 overs. The next pair belted 83 runs to take
the Parkers to 8/324. Ryan was the pick of the bowlers, taking 6/64 off 21 overs. Chris White’s figures didn’t really show how well he bowled – 2/102 off 15 overs. Thirds v Tootgarook: Hastings batted first, compiling 10/190 off only 35 overs, a reasonable score considering the best four bats weren’t playing. Kevin Watson hit a timely 52, Jay Austerberry belted a quick-fire 34 and opener Kayne Lewis scored 29. Tootgarook made a steady start to the chase, being 2/50 after 13 overs, but wickets fell in quick succession from here on and the team was bowled out for 87 with Luke Gibbons taking 4/28 from 9 overs, Watson 2/4 from 5, the Hewitt brothers a wicket each and Matt Sawosz 1/22.
The win consolidates the side’s position in the four with one round to play before Christmas. Fourths v Moorooduc: Moorooduc batted first and struggled against good bowling from Chris Lehmann 4/23, Peter Hewitt 2/23, Travis Hewitt 2/18, Nathan Goodacre 1/11 and Jaysen Bradshaw 1/13, and made 118 from 30 overs. Hastings’ batters came out with intent as Lehmann belted 55 off the first 75 runs to be scored and, with Bradshaw’s 24 no, the target was reached in 22 overs with the team finishing on 6/132 for another solid win. Under-15s v Balnarring: Winning the toss and batting, with Matt Foy carrying his bat to be last man out for a patient 50, Hastings reached 10/108 off
40 overs against some very good bowling from Balnarring. Jesse Moffatt was the only other batsman to reach double figures with 11. Under-13s v Balnarring: Balnarring chose to bat and amassed 5/109 off 40 overs. Only 3 wickets fell to the bowlers and there were two run-outs. Shelby Lothian-Burdett took 1/11 off 6 tidy overs, Blake Mealey had 3 maidens that included a wicket 1/0 and Thomas Finn took 1/9 off 4 overs. Under-11s v Crib Point: Playing the first 32-over game for the season, Hastings batted well to make 5/116 with Pat Wilson making 23 ret, Thomas Finn 20 ret and Devlin Webb 6. Event: Christmas breakup is on Saturday 15 December at 7pm, $10 adults, kids free.
Sea Siren sinks as Alcopop bubbles Hong Kong, Sunday: CRANBOURNE globetrotting jockey Craig Williams was “thrilled” with eight-year-old Alcopop’s third behind back-to-back winner California Moon in the Longines Hong Cup Cup (2000 metres) at Sha Tin on Sunday. “It was a great effort,” he said of Alcopop, who rattled home along the rails from last into the straight. “He was slowly away, he received a bit of a buffeting in the run but was strong at the finish.” After several indifferent campaigns Alcopop has been in outstanding form this season with a second to Dunaden in the Caulfield Cup followed by a win in the prestigious Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington with Williams aboard. The high-class displays earned him the trip to Hong Kong and now trainer Jake Stephens is considering taking the veteran to Dubai for the $5 million Sheema Classic (2400m) in March. “He’s had his issues, but I couldn’t be more pleased with the way he coped with the travelling,” the Victor Harbour handler said. Alcopop lifted Williams’s spirits after he had been disappointed with the hot favourite Dunaden in the Longines Hong Kong Vase (2400m). “He was flat,” said Williams of Dunaden, who finished fifth behind Red Cadeaux. It was a thoroughly deserved win for

Red Cadeaux, who was brilliantly ridden by Gerald Mosse. Only beaten by a nostril by Dunaden in the 2011 Melbourne Cup, he ran into trouble and finished eighth in this year’s Cup. He followed that with an eighth, when again unlucky, in the Japan Cup on 25 November but, for once, thanks to Mosse, everything went his way. While Alcopop covered himself in glory, Australia’s triple Group 1
winner Sea Siren was an abject failure when finishing ninth to Japan’s Lord Kanaloa in the Longines Sprint (1200m). “She was very keen early and wanted to lay in. I can’t say anything else other than that she was disappointing. She was just not herself today,” jockey Jim Cassidy said. Cassidy’s 29-year-old son-in-law Zac Purton was the Australian hero of the day.
Purton, who had married Cassidy’s elder daughter Nicole eight days earlier, completed a treble in winning the Longines Hong Kong Mile (1600m) for the hosts on Ambitious Dragon. The current Hong Kong Horse of the Year, Ambitious Dragon was brought from last by Purton to score in most authoritative fashion. “To have success like this on such an important day is amazing,” the Queensland-born Purton said. “It’s the
type of thing you dream about.” International form expert Peter Ellis provides weekly racing tips on a weekly podcast at www.racingandsports.com.au and at the Tatts website.
