Look Who’s turning 50 DOCTOR Who fans all over this world will celebrate the British TV show’s 50th anniversary this month. The first episode of the sci-fi show, featuring the adventures of The Doctor, an alien time-travelling Time Lord, was broadcast in the UK on 23 November 1963. The show’s fans include Chelsea sci-fi and fantasy bookshop store owner Chuck McKenzie who is putting his own spin on 50th anniversary celebrations this month. A full-size replica of The Doctor’s most feared enemy, a Dalek, has invaded his Notions Unlimited shop and Chuck said Doctor Who fans were welcome to visit to see the metallic menace from Skaro.

Hell time for lycra louts By Chris Brennan POLICE will be out in force on Beach Rd this weekend to crack down on dangerous behaviour by rouge cyclists taking part in the infamous Hell Ride. Up to 200 competitive cyclists are expected to converge on Melbourne’s bayside suburbs this Saturday for the informal weekly race between Black Rock and Frankston. Police will hand out fliers to remind riders of their obligations under the state’s road rules and said they would disrupt and enforce any dangerous be-

haviour, such as disobeying traffic signals and riding more than two abreast. The event, which becomes increasingly popular – and dangerous – over the warmer months, has been mired in controversy following numerous accidents and “hostile” incidents between motorists and cyclists who are forced to share the narrow, winding route. Motorists have regularly complained about “rogue lycra louts” flouting road rules and large numbers of cyclists riding in “repechage” groups that block traffic.

For their part, cyclists contend that they are often subjected to dangerous behaviour by aggressive drivers and that many of them have been bumped, swerved at and driven off the road. The high-speed Hell Ride gained notoriety following the death of an elderly pedestrian in 2006. James Gould, 77, was knocked down and killed by a group of cyclists who had failed to stop at a pedestrian crossing. Since then, police have monitored the race and will be out in force again

this weekend to “ensure the safety of all road users”. Moorabbin highway patrol officer Senior Sergeant John Cormack said that while the majority cyclists were cooperative, a small number continued to flout the road rules. “A big problem we have is bunch riding, which is where cyclists ride in large groups,” he said. “When the groups approach traffic lights, what often happens is that the first riders get through but the remainder of the group are running red lights.

“This is incredibly dangerous, particularly when there are pedestrians crossing.” He said police were committed to working with cyclists to ensure a safe ride. “Cycling is a fantastic form of recreation and a great way of keeping fit and active, and we want to work with cycling groups where we can but it’s important to put safety first.” “It’s essential that the road is safe for everyone, especially one of our most vulnerable road users.”

All aboard cultural express THE Frankston railway line will be transformed into an all-singing, alldancing multicultural festival on Sunday 17 November. The free, family-focused festival will reveal different cultures at three stations. Travellers on the Frankston line between 11am and 3pm need only step off the train for a short time to experience a range of food and music – African at Frankston; Turkish at Mentone and Indian at Caulfield. There will be roving entertainers on the trains. “By holding these events at the same time, the message will be the Frankston line is home to rich and diverse cultures that offer different ways of life which all Victorians can enjoy,” said co-organiser Thelma Christensen of Frankston Multicultural Network. Some public transport travellers have experienced antisocial and discriminatory behaviour. Through this festival, organisers hope all communities can experience the value and enjoyment offered by diversity, she said. “By holding these events at train stations this celebration can reach many Victorians who do not normally attend multicultural events, giving them the opportunity of experiencing the positive benefits of cultural diversity,’ said Metro’s Stakeholder Communications Manager, Chris Fletcher. “This will build greater confidence

AC/DC OK? MELBOURNE artist James Beattie has been hired by Kingston council to paint a new mural at Kingston City Hall in Moorabbin and council is keen to for public feedback on his proposed design. The mural concept features a Kingston area history timeline including AC/DC singer Bon Scott to commemorate the time the band played a concert at the former Moorabbin Town Hall in 1974. The distinctive Mighty Wurlitzer organ at Kingston Grand Hall is also prominent in the mural’s artwork. A large copy of the mural will be displayed in the window at Kingston City Hall at 979-985 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin until Tuesday 19 November. Kingston City Hall is open from 9am-5pm on weekdays. Feedback can be provided at www.kingston.vic.gov. au or by filling out a feedback form from Kingston Arts Box Office at Kingston City Hall.

among multicultural commuters to travel by train. It should also give Melbourne people a real taste of just how fantastic the communities that live on the Frankston line are,’ said Frankston resident and originator of the Multicultural Express concept, Christine Richards. The Frankston Multicultural Network have partnered with Frankston and Kingston Councils, an impressive range of local community organisations and Metro to obtain funding from the State Office of Multicultural Affairs to hold the pilot festival. Organisers hope it becomes a regular event.

Rhythmic drum beats and African music will lead the entertainment at Frankston. The many colours of Africa will be on display with Valanga Khoza and his band, drumming workshops, community choirs, African community dancing groups, the food of the African Village Café and crafts from the Refuge collective, SisterWorks. On the way to town, stop off at the heritage listed Mentone station for some Turkish Delight. Performances by folk musicians as well as Belly Dancing workshops, with loads of Turkish foods and stalls, will be on show in the station gardens, main-

tained by project partners Friends of Mentone Station. “We are delighted that Mentone Station is part of this wonderful event. The station is proud of its cultural heritage and is a perfect spot for a festival,’ said Mugjan Kabakki from Kingston Turkish Senior Citizens. At Caulfield, the wonders of Indian culture will be celebrated. From Bollywood to classic Indian dance and music, the day will be filled with curry, saris and silk. For more details, contact multiculturalexpress@gmail.com or call 0431 126 125.

THE Chelsea unit of the Australian Red Cross will hold its annual auction at 7.30pm on Friday 15 November at St Andrew’s Uniting Church Hall, 2 Sherwood Ave, Chelsea. A $5 donation entry fee applies and there is a chance to win a lucky door prize.

Six dead in six days A 49-year-old man who died when his car crashed into a light pole on the Nepean Hwy at Mentone on 4 November was one of six people killed on Victorian roads in the first six days of this month. The man was driving south near the intersection of Swanston St about 6am when he lost control and ploughed into the pole. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Size matters for lots of land owners By Neil Walker KINGSTON Council will write to Planning Minister Matthew Guy to seek advice on reducing minimum lot sizes for some privately-owned land in the green wedge. Councillors Geoff Gledhill and Tamsin Bearsley pushed for the move, advocating a possible reduction of minimum lot sizes from eight hectares to 2000 square metres, at the most recent council meeting. Cr Bearsley said much of the privately-owned green wedge land was now financially unviable to be used for farming purposes. “Today’s modern farming requires large-scale production that cannot be

accomplished in Kingston’s green wedge,” Cr Bearsley said. She said opening up privately-owned green wedge land to semi-rural living was a practical way to benefit existing and future residents and would ease the stress of overdevelopment on Kingston’s southern suburbs. “I ask that the solution we work towards be based on co-operation and not class conflict,” Cr Bearsley said. Cr Gledhill said the Kingston Green Wedge Plan, adopted by council in August last year, had “a couple of flaws” despite having “nice ideas” about open space and wetlands and that “everybody on council supports that.” “But it has to be paid for and there’s

people who live there and the whole thing has to be managed and we have to start somewhere,” Cr Gledhill said. Cr Gledhill said he hoped Planning Minister Matthew Guy would respond to council’s request for advice. Cr Rosemary West said all of Kingston’s privately-owned green wedge land south of Heatherton Rd could be “carved up” for residential development if minimum lot sizes are reduced to 2000 square metres. She said this would solely benefit existing green wedge land owners. “The proposal offers no community benefit and contravenes the purposes and provisions of state and local planning policy and is also at odds with

the recommendations of the Kingston Green Wedge Plan and the view of the majority of Kingston citizens,” Cr West said. Kingston Council spent about $350,000 to devise its Kingston Green Wedge Plan last year. Cr West said she attended the launch of Plan Melbourne and Matthew Guy stated there would be no reduction of minimum lot sizes in green wedge zones. Plan Melbourne is the State Government’s draft metropolitan planning strategy to address infrastructure, housing, employment and environmental challenges as Melbourne and regional Victoria’s population grows.

It details the government’s vision and regional growth plans to the year 2050. “I am really concerned that this motion has no chance of succeeding and it’s just to give the landowners the quite false idea that some councillors are trying to help them to achieve the windfall gains they’ve been seeking for decades,” Cr West said. The motion to seek advice from the planning minister was narrowly passed by council. Crs Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, Gledhill, Paul Peulich and John Ronke supported the motion. Crs Tamara Barth, David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West voted against the motion.

Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iron will tested the

Bauer Brief

By Neil Walker PATTERSON River Secondary College Year 9 teacher Matt Clark is a man who pushes his physical fitness levels to the limit and beyond. The 29-year-old Keysborough resident was one of 2170 triathletes worldwide to qualify to compete at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Matt qualified for the world champs held on 12 October by snaring one of just five Australian spots up for grabs in the 25 to 29 year old age group. His 8hr 43min 36sec time in the Melbourne Ironman race in March this year was good enough to ensure qualification for the Hawaiian event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty nervous but excited when I found out I qualified,â&#x20AC;? Matt said. He immediately began a gruelling training regime during the Australian winter to ensure he was in peak condition in Hawaii. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working full-time, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t train as much as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like,â&#x20AC;? Matt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I managed to put in between 16 and 22 hours per week training per week.â&#x20AC;? The Ironman World Championships consists on three stages - a 3.86km open water skim, a 180.25km bike ride and a 42.2km running marathon. He finished 165th out of the 2170 competitors with a 57m13s time for the swim, 4hr47m38s time for the bike ride and 3hr22m33s time for the marathon leg.

November 2013 The next Victorian Government Cabinet visit is taking place in the City of Kingston on Monday 18 November at Patterson Lakes Community Centre, followed by a public community forum in the evening at Allan McLean Hall in Mordialloc. The community event will provide residents with the opportunity to have their say on local issues. Local forums are a great way for government representatives to engage in discussions with the community and talk with the people who live and work in the City of Kingston about the issues that matter to them. In three years, the Coalition Government has reversed Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decline in services and infrastructure in our community and this Cabinet visit indicates the commitment of the Coalition to the City of Kingston and its residents. I encourage residents of the City of Kingston to come along and participate in this important community event. People interested in attending the forum can register online at www.premier.vic.gov.au/cabinetvisits or for general enquiries call 9651 5640.

Matt crossed the finishing line ahead of the other Australian competitors in his age group. He said his girlfriend Sarah had been extremely supportive during the at-times selfish training regime for the big day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one who kicks me out of bed in the morning when I sometimes struggle to get motivat-

ed. She also was heavily involved in monitoring my training and providing encouragement every step of the way,â&#x20AC;? Matt said. Matt is also a keen footy player, representing St Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FC in Dandenong, and his next goal involves giving Patterson River Secondary students who want to excel at sport the best chance to succeed.

He is starting a pilot â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sports Excelâ&#x20AC;? program next school year and hoped it will be fully implemented over the next few years. Matt is a former Patterson River Secondary student himself and is aiming to pass on his sports training tips to the next generation of students at the school.

Sky limit under Mentone high-rise ban By Neil Walker HIGH-RISE development will not be allowed in Mentone until at least 2030 after Kingston Council formally adopted the long-awaited Mentone Activity Structure Plan. A four-storey limit will apply in the suburb’s activity centre. “It’s a considerable achievement for the community, including the Mentone Village Committee, who made fantastic presentations to the [planning] panel,” Cr Rosemary West said. The plan was released in July 2011 and aimed

“to manage growth within Mentone’s centre to make Mentone a more vibrant and functional place to visit, work and live”. Mentone Village Committee chairperson Barbara Taylor said residents were pleased that the four-storey limit was imposed. “A decision kept being put off and applications were put in for five-storey buildings to be built and so we were very pleased that the four-story height limit was finally accepted,” Ms Taylor said. She was frustrated that it took more than two years to finalise the plan.

“There was pretty much agreement with the community and within the village committee that nothing should be higher than four stories and I think it was frustrating that it didn’t go through the council as quickly as it should have, in our opinion.” Cr Ron Brownlees praised Kingston Council officers for their diligence and patience during the two years it has taken to finalise the Mentone Activity Structure Plan. Cr West said it was disappointing that a twostorey limit could not be implemented for some

residential areas of the Mentone shopping centre but this could be an opportunity to achieve this during the planning scheme review. Mentone Village Committee chairperson Barbara Taylor said the two-storey height limit had not been formally discussed by committee members but she believed they would back such a proposition. Cr Geoff Gledhill said the adoption of the plan provided certainty to Mentone residents. “I think what we’ve ended up with reflects the views of the community,” Cr Gledhill said.

‘Crushing blow’ for green wedge

By land and air: A vintage car and plane on display at last year’s Wings and Wheels exhibition at Moorabbin Airport.

Flights of fancy at expo THE Australian National Aviation Museum’s annual Wings and Wheels exhibition celebrating the automotive and aviation industries is on this weekend at Morrabbin Airport. The museum’s extensive collection of historic cars, motorcycles and military and civilian aircraft will be on display alongside a number of special guest exhibitors. Cars on display range from some of the earliest vehicles ever to hit the road, including a 1903 Oldsmobile and classic Alfa Romeo, Bugatti and Maserati racing cars from the 1930s.

Other notable attractions include the Hispano Suiza touring car that featured in the Phrynie Fischer Murder Mysteries television series, a working Rolls Royce Merlin Aero engine, which powered the famous Spitfire, Lancaster and Mosquitto aircraft, and an array of classic motorcycles, including a radical jet turbinepowered “superbike”. The expo is on this Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm at the corner of First St and Second Ave, Morrabbin Airport. Entry is $10 for adults, $5 concessions and $20 for families.

By Neil Walker KINGSTON councillors may be powerless to prevent a concrete crushing facility being built by Delta Group within the green wedge at Heatherton. North Ward councillors Steve Staikos and Tamara Barth were unsuccessful at the latest council meeting in a further attempt to force council to rezone land north of Heatherton Rd from Special Use 2 to Green Wedge A to protect the area from new materials recycling operations. Cr Staikos said council’s Kingston Green Wedge Plan, adopted in August last year, recommended getting rid of the Special Use 2 zone in favour of a Green Wedge A zone to effectively ensure planning policy phases out materials recycling and tipping activities in Kingston’s green wedge. Kingston’s Green Wedge Plan included a resolution to approach state Planning Minister Matthew Guy to approve planning changes to prevent new waste-related activities on green wedge land. Councillors discovered this had not occurred when discussing Delta Group’s application for the concrete crusher in September this year. “Council had twelve months to implement this change when we adopted it in August last year,” Cr Staikos said. “It’s almost farcical that this council requires a motion to act on a resolution passed eight votes to one.” Cr Barth said a concrete crusher at the Alex Fraser plant previously built in the area had a detrimental effect on the surrounding area. “People are rightly very nervous about whether this might go ahead and the negative impacts it might have on the enjoyment of their homes, their

health and wellbeing,” Cr Barth said. Cr Paul Peulich said he believed all councillors did not want to see more concrete crushers built in Kingston’s green wedge but warned council’s decisions on planning matters could be challenged if all parties to a planning application are not given a fair hearing. He said council should lobby the Planning Minister Matthew Guy to reintroduce interim protection to prevent materials recycling in the green wedge. A previous two-year interim protection control lapsed in June 2010. “I suggest we get the minister on side and get a response about these interim controls because that is the answer,” Cr Peulich said. He said planning amendments can take up to one year to come into force and so would not stop Delta Group’s concrete crusher application in any event. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said a blanket rezoning of land could have “unintended consequences” despite councillors agreeing new recycling facilities should not be built in the green wedge. She said further expert advice from council officers was needed. “There is a lot of land there to be rezoned and we need to know what that will do,” Cr Bearsley said. “The main thing we want is to get our materials recycling reinstated.” Crs Tamara Barth, David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West voted to rezone the land to Green Wedge A but the motion was narrowly defeated with crs Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, Geoff Gledhill, Peulich and John Ronke opposing the motion.

Old ritual for a safe season

Hunt for beach pest POLICE are appealing for information about a suspect seen stalking Carrum Beach beachgoers at 3.30pm on Saturday 2 November. A 188cm tall caucasian male, believed to be aged about 50, with grey hair and a solid build was challenged by a member of the public after being noticed taking photos of families and young girls sunbathing on the beach. The suspect fled when challenged by a man who gave chase. Anyone with information should contact detectives at Kingston crime investigations unit on 9556 6565.

BOATS from the Coast Guard, Victoria Police, Victoria Marine Rescue, lifesaving clubs and the SES were blessed by the Venerable Alan Hughes, Archdeacon of Frankston, on Sunday. The practise, organised by the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association for more than 30 years in conjunction with St Paul’s Anglican Church in Frankston, comes from European fishing communities’ practice of blessing their fleet’s safe return at the beginning of each fishing season. The event started with a church service at St Paul’s at 10am before participants walked down to Frankston pier. Frankston Council had arranged a temporary gangway to enable people to walk on to the pier, which is undergoing renovation, expected to be completed by the end of November. The Frankston Flotilla was the first landbased coast guard HQ in Australia. Commander Anthony Mayall said the annual blessing of the Fleet was a symbol of his flotilla’s preparation to safely provide an emergency service to the boating public on Port Phillip and Western Port. “We encourage all the boating and fishing fraternity to regularly check the serviceability of their vessel, ensure they have and use appropriate safety equipment, and to the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard App called Safetrx for every trip so if you need assistance, we will be able to locate you.” The Safetrx App is at Google Play and the Apple App Store. For more details go to www.coastguard.com. au

Drugs arrest A 43-YEAR-OLD man from Fitzroy was arrested by police at the United Service petrol station at 12.45am on Monday 4 November. Police searched the man’s van and found a significant amount of amphetamines and cash. The man has been charged with allegedly trafficking amphetamines and was released on bail.

Thief interrupted A WOULD-BE thief was interrupted during a burglary at a Deepwater Dve home in Waterways at 2.30pm on Saturday 2 November. The alleged offender broke into the garage adjoining the home but fled when the home owner heard noise and went to investigate. A 32-yearold man from Noble Park was arrested a short distance from Deepwater Dve riding the stolen bike. The man was charged with attempted aggravated burglary, drugs possession and theft of a bike.

Driver detained A 19-YEAR-OLD man from Aspendale Gardens was arrested by police at 1.10am on Friday 1 November after being seen driving erratically. Police discovered ice and other drugs paraphernalia in the man’s possession. He has been charged with allegedly trafficking drugs and will appear at Moorabbin Magistrate’s Court at a later date.

London calling TAKING its name from a suburb in south-east London, Bexley Heath is set in peaceful Balnarring, a world away from its Old Dart namesake and the busy A2 motorway that weaves through it. Totally private, the property is accessed via a tree-lined driveway that slowly reveals a grand, stately home. The house is surrounded by an expansive lawn area and an incredible variety of trees and shrubs that are sure to keep the green thumb of the family happy for many hours. From the wide entry, resplendent with gleaming floor tiles, is a large formal lounge featuring a fireplace with beautiful marble surrounds, a separate study, and magnificent formal dining room with large windows that provide a serene outlook to the ornamental lake. Also on the ground floor is a spacious kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a delightful dining area with garden views through a bay window. A separate family room opens out to an alfresco timber deck, and along one side of the home is an undercover entertaining area with fabulous bar and barbecue facilities. There are three double bedrooms upstairs; two share a second bathroom while the palatial master bedroom is complete with an ensuite and spa, and access out to a private verandah. The rumpus room on this level provides handy extra living space or a play area for children. The property measures about 2.75 hectares and the grounds and surrounding outbuildings are excellent. A boat-house style dwelling set on the banks of the lake features a lounge, kitchen and bathroom, and can accommodate up to eight people. There is a cubby house with swings and a slide, and a secondary house with two mezzanines that will sleep a further four to six people. The property is set up for equestrian pursuits, with space for two horse floats. In addition, there are two stables, loose boxes, arena and round yard, as well as many other facilities for a home business. Beautifully private, this tranquil property is surprisingly close to Balnarring village. Be sure to experience the wisteria walk set in a water lily alcove on the lake.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

School’s bad run of luck, high-class concert planned Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 November 1913. VERY unsatisfactory conditions prevail at the new State school, No. 3544. About a fortnight ago the head teacher, Miss Audley, was taken ill, and obtained leave of absence on that account. For several days, however, no teacher was sent to take her place, and nobody seemed to know when one was expected to arrive. Since then, a teacher from the suburbs was in attendance for a few days only, and during the past week the school has remained empty again, with the result that the children are left wandering about the roads, after having put in an appearance at the school to see if a teacher has arrived or not. *** IN aid of some local deserving cause or charity yet to be named, about Xmas time a high-class concert is proposed to be given in Frankston. The artists, which will include Melbourne’s best professional artists and theatricals, will be the guests of Mornington Road residents, who will organise and manage the concert. *** THE Frankston Brass Band will play in the street this evening (weather permitting). A collection will be taken up in aid of the uniform fund. The secretary of the Frankston Sports Club (Mr J. A. Benson) desires to acknowledge, with thanks, donations of 10s 6d each from Mr H. M. Collins and Mr L. R. N. Utber. *** MR A. Edwards, of Geelong, has disposed of his cottage in Waterloo

Place, Mornington, to Mr J. McLellan, of Three-Chain Road, Moorooduc, at a satisfactory price. *** DURING the Cup Carnival we note from the Melbourne weekly papers that amongst the guests at the Grand Rose, Melbourne, were Major, Mrs and the Misses Campbell, of Amesfield Park, Frankston. *** THE Glideway (Queensland) Sheffield handicap was last week won by the ex-Frankstonite, Frank Jolly. This is the first time he has donned the spike shoes in Queensland since he ran at the last local New Year’s Day Sports. Jolly won his heat and semi-final which he won by a clear yard. *** TENDERS for the publican’s booth and the refreshment booth for the Mornington races, which take place at the Drywood Estate racecourse on Tuesday, December 2nd, close with the secretary, Mr H. Downward, on Wednesday next, 19th inst. Entries for the various events close on Monday, November 24th. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs Crawford and Clements, J.P., A. Coxall, for failing to send his child to school the required number of days, was fined 5s. Wm Tabb sued John E. Burke for £2 15s, for work and labour done, but the Bench decided, after hearing the evidence, which was in direct conflict, of both parties, to adjourn the case for 11 days. ***

A MEETING of the Mount Eliza Branch of the P.L.P. was held on Wednesday last, Mrs Jas Grice presiding. Miss McDowell explained the objects of the proposed union of the P.L.P. and People’s Party, and it was unanimously decided that amalgamation would be desirable. The name of the Union will be the Victorian Liberal Union, and

Cr Geo. Keast, our old established storekeeper, has invested in a handsome Ford motor car. This is, we understand, the first importation of the kind in Somerville. will consist of Men’s League and Women’s League. *** THE Mornington Schools excursion to Royal Park took place on Wednesday last. Although it rained incessantly in the early morning, it abated before the train left Mornington, and fine weather prevailed until the afternoon, when a few showers fell. On the whole, the outing was a great success and

WINDOW TINTING

most enjoyable. Over 400 adults and children from Mornington and Osborne boarded the special, and a good number were picked up at Moorooduc, Mornington Junction, and Langwarrin. *** THE last of the series of socials held under the auspices of St. Paul’s Club, Frankston, eventuated in the Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening last. There was a splendid attendance, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Mr R. T. Picking acted as chairman, and the following programme was gone through: Orchestral item, Frankston Orchestra; part song, St. Paul’s Choir; song, Miss A. Bowell; song, Mr W. G. Jennings (encore); recitation, Miss Sheridan; orchestral item, Frankston Orchestra; comedietta, “A Regular Fix,” Messrs Elliott, Allan, Hague, Bailey and Ellis, and Misses Williams, Reynolds, Picking and Baxter. After the programme, the chairman thanked those who had so ably assisted, especially Mr Jennings for the trouble he had taken. Supper was then handed round, after which a short dance, which proved very enjoyable, was held. *** CR Geo. Keast, our old-established storekeeper, has invested in a handsome Ford motor car. This is, we understand, the first importation of the kind to Somerville, and we wish Mr Keast every success on his new venture. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason conducted a successful sale here on Wednesday. There was a good

HOMES

yarding and good prices were realised. Cattle were sold up to £6 6s, heifers to £2 2s, springers to £2 16s. Pigs and horses were also disposed of at satisfactory prices. A painful accident occurred to Mr D. McLaurin on Friday last. He was using an axe, which, in some manner slipped, and inflicted. a nasty gash in his instep, which necessitated medical treatment. We will be pleased to learn of Mr McLaurin’s speedy recovery. *** THE anniversary services of the Methodist Church here was celebrated on Sunday last, when Rev. G. H. Neilson preached three sermons. The 10.30 a.m. service was for the Sunday School children, and the subject of “Spiders” interested them very much. The kindergarten children sat on the platform in their special chairs, and after the service took their places in their classroom, and parents visited them while at their studies. The afternoon and evening services were well attended. A special feature of the services was the singing by an augmented choir in the church. Those who were capable of judging stated that it was the best music given by the choir in the church. The ‘parts’ were nicely balanced. The anthems rendered were:- “Bless the Lord O My Soul,” “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sound,” and “ What are these.” Miss Annie Barber tastefully and sympathetically officiated at the organ. Mrs Alfred Thornell decorated the church in her artistic manner, and the minister publicly commented on the beauty of the decorations. The collections for the day amounted to £16 odd.

Detour de farce a Claytons detour By Stuart McCullough CLAYTONS. In the 1980s and beyond, it was said to be the drink you were having when you weren’t having a drink. It assumed that to be in a social setting without a glass in your hand was a form of heresy; right up with shaving your moustache off, failing to own a pair of thongs or being unable to open a beer bottle with your belt. More than that, it supposed we were a nation of soaks who would rather suck spilled grog from a cardboard placemat than go without and, if faced with abstinence, would go to any lengths to avoid admitting we were on the wagon. Then along came Claytons, a placebo that made you feel a little safer, all the while assuring your friends that you hadn’t turned into some kind of killjoy. But more than just an eerily brown beverage, Claytons became a full-blown adjective. The adverts may have disappeared, but the meaning has survived to this day. When people use the term now, they’re not referring to a substitute beverage but to something that, despite all outward appearances, falls short of the genuine article. A Claytons effort is not much of an effort at all. To be described as a “Claytons boyfriend” means that you’re only good for show. A Claytons offer is anything but genuine. I don’t remember my father ever owning a bottle of the brown stuff. Instead, we preferred our placebo alcoholic beverages sweeter and with bubbles. It was called Maison and was, more or less, Fanta for grownups. Although it was basically pretend

champagne, our parents still thought it deserved the good crystal glasses. Maison was a feature at our family functions for decades but, in recent years, I’ve noticed it has receded in favour of the real thing. Maison probably tastes a whole lot sweeter than Claytons, but that’s not enough for it to be used as an adjective. No one ever

speaks of a Maison anything. For years the term Claytons has had the most hollow of rings. It was once an insult but is, I think, a far more adaptable term these days. Now that we have entered an age in which ordinarily sane people, as well as Fabio, are prepared to declare that they “can’t believe it’s not butter”, it’s clear that

anything goes. For there is a time to be repulsed by fakery and a time to embrace it. After decades of resistance we are now, I think, living in the age of Claytons. We were heading down to Tyabb for a visit. At the time, work was still continuing on Peninsula Link and, as a result, we were unable to take our normal route. Instead, we were greeted with a big yellow sign that said Detour. That it was directing me away from my normal route was unsettling, but if we ignored the sign and ploughed through a worksite, I figured there was a good chance we’d either be unable to get through or that surprised workers would deeply resent our intrusion. We decided to take the hint and turned left. The rules of a detour are reasonably simple – you are directed away from your normal route but are returned to it once you’re past the obstacle. These rules have been with us for thousands of years and are well understood. Understood by all, that is, except for those responsible for this particular detour. We were expected for lunch in Tyabb, where the Maison runs free. However, having been diverted at Baxter, we now appeared to be heading directly towards Orbost. The landscape began to change as a canopy of foliage closed in overhead. Clearly we were not in Kansas anymore, much less the greater Baxter region and I began to whisper “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” under my breath. Still, the detour signs continued, directing us further into the wilderness.

It was unlike any detour I had ever experience before. If the road signs don’t bring you back on course, then it’s no longer a detour but a diversion. It was, in fact, a Claytons detour. Eventually, the road petered out altogether and we were left staring into the face of Bass Strait. I called my father and explained that we had been taken off course. All my brothers and sisters, it seemed, had already arrived and the first bottle of Maison was open. I told him not to wait. Robert Frost once wrote about taking the road less travelled, claiming that it had made all the difference. At the time he posted those words on his blog, I’d like to think he was probably sipping from a tumbler full of Claytons. In an age of GPS, people take the road less travelled far less frequently than they used to. Granted, life is more efficient that way, but it is less surprising also. Thanks to our Claytons detour, we were forced to travel through areas we otherwise wouldn’t have seen. Getting blown off course can be strange but it can also give you a new perspective on things. In fact, that’s exactly how the best discoveries are made. If Alexander Fleming had done a better job tidying his lab, penicillin would never have been invented. He’d done a Claytons job only. Thank goodness. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s something worth raising a glass of strange brown liquid to. Cheers. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sorras in box seat against neighbours PROVINCIAL By IT Gully THE majority of MPCA Provincial matches are in the balance as we head into day two this weekend. The only match that appears to be all over is between Sorrento and Rye, where the Sharks are just 27 runs away from victory with 10 wickets in hand. Rye’s ordinary start to the season continued on Saturday against its neighbour Sorrento, bowled out for just 118. It appeared earlier though that Rye would not make it to 50 after the Sharks took the first two wickets before Rye had scored a run. At one stage the Demons were 3/5, before opener Tommy Barrand (12) and Ben Ashworth (27) stemmed the tide.

Skipper Darren Groves then contributed 16 and James Crowe 20, before wickets began to tumble again. Of the 118 runs the Demons scored, 20 of them were extras. Ryan O’Connor was the chief destroyer for the Sharks with 4/21 from 16 overs, while AJ King helped himself to 3/33 (including 10 maidens) from 21 overs to give him eight wickets for the season. Chris King claimed 2/35. In reply, the Sharks faced the last 20 overs of the day and clubbed 0/92, Jedd Flack unbeaten on 36 and Nick Jewell not out 47. It seems an outright win is on the minds of the Sharks. Langwarrin old stagers Danny Weare and Mal Coutts saved their side from a shocking day with the bat against Mt Eliza. Winning the toss, the Kangas lost

(4/54) and Andrew Tweddle (3/31) were at their best as they rolled the Dogs cheaply. Jake Pankhurst (36) started well for the Dogs and made his highest score for the season. Jack Heseltine (35) was then required to dig deep after a flurry of wickets. Ryan Martin (14) was the only other Mornington batsman to reach double figures. Former Mornington skipper Luke Popov stepped right up to the plate when he was given the new ball to defend his team’s score. Popov removed the top three batsmen in Paul Hartle, Aaron Paxton and Justin Bridgeman to send the Islanders onto the back foot. Stephen Hocking was the other out bastman. Heatherhill has set Peninsula Old Boys 191 for victory. A middle order fight back saw the Hills go from 3/15 to 6/152, thanks

early wickets before Weare came to the crease. The left hander made 79 runs to take him past 200 (234) for the season. It was his second half century of the year to add to last week’s 105. Coutts joined Weare with the score on 6/110 and enjoyed a 48-run partnership with him. Coutts went on to make 46 and help push the total to 210. Tom’s Baron and Ewing took 3/56 and 3/66 respectively for the Mounties, while Sam Creffield claimed 2/28. Long Island’s batsmen have plenty of work to do on day two against Mornington. After their bowlers did the job dismissing the dangerous Doggies for just 129, their top order wasn’t able to follow suit and will resume at 4/22 this week. Earlier in the day, Scott Phillips

largely to Nathan Martin (29), Matty Meagher (29) and Randil Gamage (68). The Hills lost their last five wickets for 38 runs. Jon Forrest and Dylan O’Malley both snared three wickets each for the Old Boys while Justin Parkes opened with 2/9 from seven overs. Baxter is in a commanding position against Mt Martha after making 9/246 on their home deck. Dale Irving (52), Dean Sterry (51), Leigh Patterson (44) and Daniel Warwick (30) all got strong starts against the visitors. Curtis Stone was the highlight for Mt Martha in what was otherwise a tough day. Stone claimed six wickets to give him 10 for the season.

Parkers continue impressive start DISTRICT By IT Gully DELACOMBE Park continued its impressive start to the season with a strong batting performance against Hastings in round four of District cricket. The Parkers won the toss on their home deck and elected to bat against the Blues. The start was superb for the visitors, claiming the opening two wickets for just 19 runs. Better still, in-form batsman Jon Guthrie and his opening partner Andrew Christides were both back in the sheds. However, this brought Chris Brittain (71) and Simon Dignan together at the crease. ‘Diggers’ was hampered by injury last season and missed a bit of cricket, however, he proved with an agonising 99 runs on Saturday just how important he is to this side. Dignan was caught by Brad Watson off the bowling of Luke Hewitt, just one run short of his ton. Nick Christides then helped himself to 25 to help the home team to 9/268. Hewitt and Tim Birch were the best with the ball for the Blues with 3/55 and 3/90 respectively. Mitch Floyd opened with 2/12 from his 10 overs. Seaford had a day out with the bat, scoring 9/257 against Ballam Park. Skipper Damien Lawrence blasted 103 for

the home side while David Laing joined in the run feast with 53. At the tail, Geoff Smith contributed 33 to push the total past 250. Matty Roach was the pick of the Knights’ bowlers with 4/82 from 19 overs, while Anthony Joel snared 2/29 and Matthew O’Malley 2/63. Top-of-the-table Somerville has set Pines a more than reasonable target of 237 for victory. The Eagles were in some early strife losing their top three batsmen for just one run. Pines’ opening quicks Nick Wilcox and Brett Remy removed Keith Burdett (1), Nick Marshall (0) and Jack Barbour (0) and the home side was on the back foot. Thankfully for the Eagles, the middle order was able to get things back on track. Ben Delaney (20), Sam Delaney (43), Justin Allsop (57) and Jack Kennedy (55) all ensured that the Piners were going to have to chase a reasonable score to win. Remy and Ricky Ramsdale both finished with three wickets to be the pick of the bowlers. Boneo is very much right in its match against Carrum after a good afternoon with the ball. Boneo lost the toss and was first to take the new ball, which proved to be just fine for them. The visitors picked up the first two wickets with the score on three and then made light

work of the tail to end Carrum’s innings at 9/181 off its 80 overs. Josh Dent top scored for Carrum with 65, Dylan Steed hit 39 and Shaun Foster 36 to give him 212 runs for the season. Leigh Janssen was outstanding with the ball for Boneo, picking up five wickets, while Chris Jobling and Cameron Williams took one each. With less than 200 runs to get at Roy Dore Reserve, Boneo is a real show. Main Ridge has placed itself in a strong position against Baden Powell after dismissing the home side for just 159. Scott Millar bowled a whopping 40 overs for the Ridge to return the impressive figures of 3/76, including 14 maidens. James Abbott bowled 20 overs and finished with 3/17. Keeper-batsman Sam Mullavey top scored for the Braves with 53, while Rhys Elmi hit 27. Corey Hand fell four runs short of a century (96) as his Seaford Tigers managed 246 against Flinders. Hand, along with David James (41) and Warren Junkeer (30), helped the home side to a more than competitive total. Shane Beggs (4/53) was the best of the Flinders bowlers while Nathan Hunt also picked up a couple of wickets.
