Your one-stop for shopping convenience SINCE its opening in 2002, Benton Square Shopping Centre has grown with the community of Mornington East. With 550 free parking spaces and more than 40 shops and services in one convenient location, the centre is a one-stop community shopping centre serving the growing population in Mornington’s east. Centre manager Maree Abbott said the range of goods and services on offer was greater than ever, but the centre still retained a friendly neighbourhood shopping atmosphere in a single-storey centre that’s easy to navigate. Large retailers include Woolworths supermarket and petrol station, Priceline Pharmacy, which is about to extend, Video Ezy, and Dan Murphy’s wine and liquor outlet. To stock up on food for home, there is Lindon’s Meats, which has just expanded and stocks a full range of meat and fish, a green grocer, and more than one bakery, including a cake shop. For gifts there is Goldsmith jewellers, a toy store, newsagent, florist and a choice of kitchen and homewares stores. In one visit to Benton Square you can see a doctor, have your eyes checked at the optometrist, get a haircut at a choice of two hairdressers, drop your clothes at the dry cleaner, hire a DVD, get your nails done, apply for a passport at the Australia Post shop, and relax over a cake and coffee. Fashion retailers include Kidstore, Treehouse Republic, and Blue Oak boutique. Eat in and takeaway food outlets include fish and chips, pizza, noodle bar, sushi, cakes, charcoal chicken, Subway and Wendy’s ice cream. Degani’s Bakery Cafe is expanding its hours and will soon be open for dinner. You can sell, buy or rent a house, with the choice of two real estate agencies, and soon you will be able to work out at a 24-hour gym. Benton Square Shopping Centre is open seven days at the corner of Dunns and Benton roads, Mornington.

I have also travelled on many cruise ships and extensively throughout Asia and the Pacific.” Robyn has also just returned from a trip through the United States. “We are a member of the ICCA (International Cruise Council Australia) and also three of our consultants are as well.” One of the consultants, Anna Lees, is coming up for thirty years within the Harvey World Travel franchise. “I enjoy dealing with both business and leisure markets,” said Anna. “I also co-ordinate group travel for a sporting company to China each year, have arranged a sporting group on the Kokoda track, am fluent in Italian and have a passion for Europe and, in par-

ticular, Italy. My recent travels have included Russia, Europe, Cambodia and Vietnam. I am planning to visit South Africa next month.” Monique Quail has worked as a travel consultant for five years. “I love my job! Organising and

booking people on new and exciting adventures,” said Monique. “I have been fortunate to travel to some amazing destinations, coach touring through Europe, relaxing in Fiji, Bali, Malaysia, Thailand, Veitnam, Loas, Cambodia, New Zealand,

Vanuatu, New Caledonia and South Pacific cruising. If you would like to travel to any of these destination, I can help you!” Kaylene Stewart has been in the travel industry for just over 17 years, and specializes in the United States

for saving energy, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer; they will assist in obtaining a 5-star energy rating for your home. Ziptrak blinds keep areas warm in winter and cool in summer, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor lifestyle no matter what the season.

The right choice for carpet and flooring NEW name, same experienced team. After decades as Carpet Choice, this locally-owned flooring business has changed its name to Choices. Choices by Smiths owner Geoff Smith said it was a tough decision but one that had to be made. He said the industry was flooded with similar-sounding business names and that the name change would rectify some of the confusion. “It’s important for customers to hear we haven’t gone into receivership, been bought out or taken over,” he said. “They will find the same experienced staff in all stores, providing exceptional customer service and great products at the right price.” Geoff said the switch to Choices better reflected the business today. He said the days of only selling carpets were long gone. “Now people will find timbers, laminate and vinyl alongside carpets, rugs and, coming soon to some stores, ceramic tiles,” he said. Choices stocks products for the budget-conscious homeowner and the very latest next-generation, high-end products. As part of a national buying co-operative, they have access to the industry’s top brands. It also means they can offer customers great prices on a wide range of quality products. The Smiths have privately owned the stores at Mornington for 50

years and have witnessed first-hand the massive growth in the area. And with the growth of the community so too did the business expand, requiring them to move to bigger and better premises at Shop 1, 137 Mornington-Tyabb Rd from the Main St precinct. “All our staff are experienced and knowledgeable in all facets of our industry,” Geoff said. “This will ensure all our customers will find the floor they’ve been searching for.’’ People will find more surface choices, contemporary colours, patterns and textures. These same big changes have been made across Australia at more than 130 former Carpet Choice locations. Carpet Choice has had a long and rich history and are considered leaders in their industry. They have been retailing in Australia since the late 1950s and they have a reputation for offering great value and service. Providing confidence to customers, they back their products with three guarantees: 60-day replacement guarantee (conditions apply); lifetime installation guarantee; and the price protection guarantee, which offers a refund for the difference in the unlikely event that customers find a lower price on the same carpet and installation within seven days of placing an order.

John Howard joins Libs for launch FORMER Prime Minister John Howard was the star attraction at Bruce Billson’s campaign launch on Thursday last week at Daveys Hotel in Frankston. Mr Billson, the MP for Dunkley, which covers 140 square kilometres from Seaford to Mornington, said he was delighted Mr Howard had agreed to help kick-start his campaign. “John has been a great source of guidance and inspiration in my political career as well as a mentor,� Mr Billson told The News.

Dog theft myth busted By Chris Brennan FAKE social media reports have sparked public panic over a supposed organised dog abduction ring targeting pets around Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Police have moved to allay fears that beloved pets were being stolen from homes to be used in, or as bait for, illegal dog fights, as reported in widely circulated Facebook postings. “It’s all fake. It’s simply not happening,� a Victoria Police spokesman said. “We have investigated this thoroughly

and can confirm there’s absolutely no substance to these reports.� Police have been swamped with reported sightings of a white Toyota utility and other “suspicious activities� allegedly connected to the theft of dogs and illegal dog fighting. However, only four dogs have been reported as stolen across the entire Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region since the beginning of the year, and they had nothing to do with dog fighting, police said. A report posted on the official Victoria Police Facebook site appears to

have “gone viral�. It carried an identikit image of a man police wanted to interview over dog abductions and an “illegal dog fighting ring in a Seaford factory�. “The man was last seen in Seaford, also Frankston North. Anyone with information or [who] has seen this man please call Crime Stoppers,� the Facebook posting read. But the image was from a separate, unrelated incident and the entire substance of the posting had been made up, police said. An earlier report, also posted on

Facebook, warned that: “Dogs on the peninsula are being stolen for fighting. They are going missing daily‌â€? It outlined a well-worn internet myth that has popped up in cities and towns across the world regarding organised criminal operations stealing pets for use in dog fights. Crime gangs allegedly use spotters to apply colour-coded tags or stickers to mark houses where dogs live, so that later “the thieves can drive around and take dogs when nobody is homeâ€?, the recent peninsula Facebook posting warning.

“Yellow ties are for staffies/mastiffs etc and blue for smaller/old dogs that are used for bait. “Keep an eye out for a Toyota ute with dog cages on the back and if you see anything suspicious, please call the police. They are aware of what’s happening.� But police are not aware of any such activity and have been forced to deal with an increasing number of inquiries and reports from members of the public, including multiple sighting of the Toyota allegedly involved.

Blue ribbon launch: Left, former Prime Minister John Howard at Bruce Billson’s campaign launch at Daveys Hotel in Frankston. Above, part of Mr Billson’s campaign launch was bottled water with his face on the label. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Continued from Page 15 BRUCE Billson, 47, won Dunkley in 1996 from Labor’s Bob Chynoweth and holds it by a slim 1.1 per cent after losing about 3 per cent to former Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Helen Constas at the 2010 election. In the Howard Coalition government, Mr Billson was Minister for Veterans’ Affairs. More than 150 people packed into the hotel to hear John Howard, former Flinders MP Peter Reith and Senator Mitch Fifield sing Mr Billson’s praises. Billson lookalike Senator Scott Ryan also was among supporters. Mr Billson said he and Senator Ryan shared digs in Canberra at one stage and would often be mistaken for brothers. During the launch, Mr Billson prom-

ised money for Frankston foreshore and a youth centre in Mornington. He said Mt Eliza and Kananook Creek would be among the first areas in Australia to benefit from the Coalition’s Green Army. Other promises for Dunkley would be announced during the campaign. He said unemployment in Frankston was 4.3 per cent, the same as the national average, when Labor defeated the Howard government in 2007. It was 3.6 per cent in Mornington. “Today the national average is 5.7 per cent but Frankston has 6.6 per cent and Mornington 4.8 per cent unemployed,” he told The News after the launch. “A Coalition government will support enterprise at the local level to create more jobs.”

Mr Billson said if the Coalition wins government, one of the first sites to be tackled by its proposed Green Army would be Mt Eliza. The army would help volunteer groups, the CFA and Mornington Peninsula Shire manage and care for the town’s foreshore, bushland and creek reserves, he said. Work would include “combating fire risk by reducing the fuel load while protecting the natural environmental attributes that are so loved and valued”. “The Mt Eliza Green Army team will … work along the rugged Mt Eliza coastline, in bushland reserve and in the creeks that snake their way through neighbourhoods,” Mr Billson said. “Weed species and excess fuel will be removed with care by trained par-

Continued from Page 15 “This is taking up a lot of police time and resources and causing great concern in the community, so we really want to get the word out to the public that there’s been no such activities in the area,” the spokesman said. “This is the problem with social media; well-meaning people get easily sucked in by reports like this and want to share it around. But once you share it on your page, your friends then share it and very quickly it goes from 10 to 100 to 1000 to 10,000 and can quickly get up to a million. “We’d ask Facebook users to circulate the news that the dog theft story is a myth. We’d suggest people maybe Google reports like this to try to ascertain their validity before sharing it online with more people.” A third report that two Aussie bulldog crosses had been stolen from Mt Martha on Tuesday, with one later dumped in Point Leo “covered in blood and puncture wounds”, was also posted on Facebook. The posting read: “The Vet has stated the puncture wounds are consistent with bite marks. The owner is heartbroken. The police have told the owner of the bulldogs that two beagles were stolen in Mt Eliza today. Mt Eliza is right next door to Mt Martha. Please be vigilant if you own dogs within this area. The second Aussie bulldog has not been found.” Members of the public contacted The News to assert the story was true, that they’d seen the injured dog, and Rosebud police had been contacted.

Esplanade reopened after more work A SECTION of the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach closed for most of the week was reopened on Saturday. Barriers to through traffic between Hearn and Bruce roads went up on

Tuesday after VicRoads engineers discovered the collapse of an old terracotta drain beneath the road. It has been replaced by a concrete pipe. A bump in the road had developed

over past weeks due to the collapsed clay pipe. The repair was nowhere near the months’ long closure in the middle of last year caused by the collapse of the road south of the old quarry. Keith Platt

Greens candidate slams tip By Mike Hast RETIRED pharmacologist Dr Martin Rush is the Australian Greens candidate for Flinders at the 7 September election. Dr Rush (pictured) was a last-minute candidate after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced the election date. The Greens man wasted no time commenting on peninsula issues, slamming the proposed rubbish tip on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. Dr Rush said he was “particularly concerned about the proposed development of the rubbish tip adjacent to Arthurs Seat State Park, the future of Hastings as a port and its impact on Western Port wetlands and marine sanctuaries, the despoilment of the Tootgarook Swamp by inappropriate development, and the general running down of public health, education and public transport services by out-of-touch governments at both state and federal levels”. “The Greens’ recent success in state and local elections indicates voters are looking for a political party that will represent the community, stand up for what’s right, and not be influenced by developers, industry or other unrepresentative pressure groups, at the expense of the ordinary person,” he said. “Many federal issues require a Greens member of parliament to be actively in there representing Flinders voters, but one issue particularly stands out – the Greens strongly support more than 20,000 people opposing the tip planned for Dromana. “The Greens want clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. The Greens federal waste management policy is clear – processes should adopt a zero waste goal to conserve natural resources for future generations, avoid the build-up of toxic and noxious substances, conserve water and achieve deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.” He said the proposal for a rubbish tip in the

former Pioneer quarry was “a poorly conceived plan and the very real threat to the pristine environment that the Mornington Peninsula enjoys”. “The quarry should never have been listed as a site for a future tip. “The proposed tip is completely inappropriate against all waste management principles. Among many problems, it has no recycling facility, has a high risk of polluting the state park, air, groundwater and Port Phillip itself, is in a high fire danger area and is in an area with threatened native flora and fauna. “Technologies are now available and are being used that render tips such as this redundant. “The Greens policy is the most forward-thinking political strategy on this issue. “We believe that: 1. Avoiding, reducing, reusing and recycling waste is integral to effective waste management and to achieving zero waste. 2. Waste should be treated as a resource and reused in a way that achieves the maximum economic and environmental benefit. 3. The full social, environmental and economic costs must be measured and factored in to decisions about creating, managing and disposing of waste.

THE state government will give Mornington Peninsula Shire $21,000 to protect heritage significant areas, structures or plans. The money will go toward advisory services and a new “heritage toolkit‟ to assist the shire to develop a municipal heritage strategy. “Looking after our local heritage is so important to current and future generations of Victorians whether it is in the city, a suburb, a town or the countryside,” Mornington MP David Morris said. “Heritage advisers assist councils in developing strategies and guide the management of heritage assets, as well as promoting heritage conservation and providing free advice to owners of heritage places. “The heritage advisers will also help residents make appropriate decisions on restoration and development plans for heritage buildings and other places. “The benefits of these services are now evident in many towns with restored heritage buildings, appropriate signage and upgraded streetscapes.” Mr Morris said state Planning Minister Matthew Guy had released a toolkit to provide guidance on the development of each council’s heritage strategy. Each strategy will help to highlight the importance of significant buildings, their role in our lives, how they enhance streetscapes and enrich our understanding of our past,” Mr Morris said.

4. The transportation of hazardous waste must be minimised, and the Australian community must be fully informed about its location, disposal and transportation. 5. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers should be required to adopt extended producer responsibility, taking financial and/or physical responsibility for a product at the end of its life.” The father of two and grandfather of four stood in the state election in 2010 in Mornington electorate, up against the Liberal Party’s sitting MP David Morris and the ALP’s James Dooley, now a Frankston councillor. Mr Rush had less than four weeks to campaign in Mornington as the Greens were unable to find a candidate. Dr Rush is taking on incumbent Greg Hunt, the Opposition’s spokesman on the environment and climate action, and Labor’s Joshua Sinclair. The Greens man has a PhD in pharmacology and is a life member and fellow of the Institute of Public Administration, Victoria. He lives in Mornington and is a member of several community groups including environment and historical groups and a foreshore restoration group. Dr Rush said his passions were “ethical politics, the economy, the environment and singing with choral group Mornington Musicale”. A long-standing member of the Greens, Dr Rush is on the party’s state council, convenor of the disputes panel and a member of the Greens’ constitutional review panel. He said the issues that inspired him to stand included “local community influence in environmental planning processes; education being given top priority for our children’s future; better public transport services for all; hospitals and community health services being accessible and affordable; and humane approaches to refugee assessment and resettlement”.

Council election probe not for dummies By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Lynn Bowden has welcomed news of a sweeping state government review of council elections, saying it would help improve confidence in the system following a steep decline in voter participation and a spike in the number of “dummy candidates� at last year’s poll. Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell last week announced the firstever comprehensive review of Victoria’s local government electoral system, appointing former federal Liberal heavyweight Petro Georgiou to head an independent panel. Mrs Powell said the review aimed to

ensure councils continued to be held responsible and accountable to their communities, and to address falling voter participation as well as a sharp rise in the number of complaints about the 2012 council elections to the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate. “All Victorians should have faith in the system that elects local representatives to govern and make important decisions affecting their communities,� Mrs Powell said. “The review will examine the reasons for the lower voter turnout and table processes for dealing quickly with complaints so they don’t impact on the integrity of future elections.�

Mr Georgiou, the former federal MP for Kooyong and chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, will be joined on the panel by Sally Davis, former manager of the Australian Electoral Commission’s Melbourne Electoral Education Centre and two-time Stonnington mayor; and Anne Murphy, a former president of the Municipal Association of Victoria, mayor of Preston (1998-90) and Local Government Commissioner at Stonnington and Whittlesea councils. A key issue for the panel is dummy candidates – people listed on ballot papers who have no real intention of winning and enter only to funnel votes to other candidates through preferences.

Some polls last year had as many as 85 candidates for just 11 vacancies. The panel will consider the sharp decline in voter turnout, with almost a third of eligible voters failing to vote last year, compared with 7 per cent at the 2010 state election. Cr Bowden said it was vital the peninsula community had faith in the electoral process and welcomed moves to encourage greater voter turnout. Mrs Powell said the review aimed to improve the electoral process, along with people’s understanding of it, and may lead to legislative changes. She said the government had sought feedback from Municipal Association of Victoria, Victorian Local Govern-

ment Association and Local Government Inspectorate about complaints. Bill McArthur of MAV said his organisation had called for the review. The biggest issue confronting voters was trying to work out “who are these people� standing for election, with limited information disclosure requirements in place. The panel will issue a discussion paper and seek feedback through written submissions and public hearings before reporting to Mrs Powell in January with recommendations for potential legislative reform. Details of the review are at www.localgovernment.vic.gov.au

Shire council sticks to ‘low rates’ claim, despite MAV figures By David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has again stated that rates will rise by only 5.9 per cent in 2013-14 despite a senior shire finance officer conceding the real rise is 7.7 per cent. The shire has used its ratepayerfunded publication Peninsula-Wide to repeat its contentious claim. To add to the confusion, the Municipal Association of Victoria calculated the shire rates increase at 6.82 per cent. To arrive at 5.9 per cent, the shire omitted the controversial $180 municipal charge from its calculations. Since it is a compulsory charge, it needed to be included to ensure an accurate result. The MAV included both the munici-

pal and garbage charges in its report on rate rises for Victoria’s 79 local governments. The shire’s municipal charge jumped $20 – 12.5 per cent – this year from last year’s $160. It is effectively a de facto supplementary rate rise and has increased by 463 per cent since 2001. When it is included in the calculation, the real rate rise is almost 8 per cent. Few other councils collect anything like $180 with this charge. Some do not impose it at all. By omitting it from calculations, the shire presents a misleading picture, says Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association. The shire’s use of the word “rates�

is at odds with the Local Government Act’s repeated use of “rates and charges� and “rates or charges� when setting out the rules on how councils calculate the bill they send to property owners. Section 158 of the Act, headed “Declaring rates and charges�, makes it clear councils are collecting “general rates, municipal charges, service rates and service charges� – including the municipal charge. The shire itself uses “rates and charges� frequently on rates notices – 16 times on a recent rates notice, including four times in one paragraph. The shire’s assertion that it is among the lowest-rating councils in the state is not supported by the MAV’s table.

It comes 28th of the 73 councils listed on the MAV’s measure of average rates per head of population. Despite this, the shire asserts in Peninsula-Wide the 5.9 per cent rise will maintain “the shire’s position as having rate levels among the lowest in Victoria�. The shire, at $842 a head, is below the average of $961. Maroondah is the most expensive at a hefty $1901 a head; lowest is Monash at $506. The shire claims that its 5.9 per cent strikes a balance in “the current tight economic circumstances in the community� between “affordability and meeting growth in community needs and expectations�. “We have exercised restraint in set-

ting the budget for 2013-14,� the shire stated. The ratepayer group has accused the shire of “a cunning marketing ploy� intended to mask the real increase. “The impact of this ploy is that council is disadvantaging those in the community who are less able to pay. The council is more concerned about its image than its impact on the low socioeconomic group in our community,� the association stated. It has described as “simply not true� a shire statement that “council’s past practices and decisions regarding rating are underpinned by equitable distribution of the rate burden across the community according to assessment of property value�.

Govt opens door to green belt development By Chris Brennan CHANGES to state land zoning regulations will clear the way for the construction of “massive” hotel, convention centre and residential complexes within the most environmentally sensitive areas of Melbourne’s green belt, a planning expert has warned. RMIT University professor of planning Michael Buxton said the latest zone reform package, unveiled last week by Planning Minister Matthew Guy, removed strict conditions constraining inappropriate development on land in rural conservation zones. Councils can use rural conservation zone overlays to protect the most environmentally precious areas within their jurisdictions. While welcoming ongoing protections under the zone reform package for lands within green wedge zones, Mr Buxton but said the changes had “taken the strongest zone and made it the weakest”. “The contradiction in what the government has done is that it has removed all the restrictions on the highest value land – work that out,” he said. “The rural conservation zone is designed for land with the highest environmental significance within the green belt. “Now the big commercial developers of function centres, hotels, residential complexes and that sort of thing will gravitate to rural conservation zones because that’s the only land they’ll be able to use for those purposes. Areas within the Frankston municipality currently fall under rural conservation zoning rules, however Morn-

ington Peninsula Shire is yet to apply the planning scheme. Mr Buxton said the peninsula was the most vulnerable part of Melbourne’s green belt due to its proximity to the city and its coastline with bays on either side. “The big developers are attracted to the most beautiful locations, and that’s why places like the peninsula need tough, uncompromising protection because their beauty attracts the worst uses,” he said. “The government’s certainly done a good job protecting green wedge land, but by allowing unrestricted use of the rural conservation zone, they’ve condemned the land to be gradually urbanised. Significant parts of Melbourne’s green belt is now vulnerable to being destroyed.” Mr Guy said the changes formed the final step in Victoria’s zone reform program and aimed to strengthen agricultural production while protecting against inappropriate development. Under the changes, green wedge and green wedge A zones would be targeted for increased agricultural production by making it easier for farm-based business to conduct sale activities, while also allowing the establishment of schools. “It is important the state government allows green wedge zones to drive agricultural production and farm sales,” Mr Guy said. “Green wedge zones make a significant contribution to our city’s liveability and as such it is important the government protects the zones from inappropriate development.” Key changes to green wedge zones

include “bringing agriculture, primary produce sales and a small rural store to an ‘as of right’ use to encourage primary production uses; allowing places of assembly in green wedge zones, and fulfilling the Coalition’s election promise to allow schools but only with a permit from a council”, the planning documents states. Prisons and freeway service centres have been added to the list of prohibited uses within green wedge zones, which also includes service stations, display homes, nightclubs and medical centres as prohibited uses, while “in conjunction” tests remain for restaurants, group accommodation and functions centres. “The addition of schools and places of assembly to allowable uses with a council permit is an important delivery of the Coalition government’s election commitments, and is the only

non-agricultural addition of uses to the zones,” Mr Guy said. However, Mr Buxton said the elephant in the room was the changes made to rural conservation zone regulations. “Why would a government provide the least amount of control to the best land? It’s crazy.” “They have taken out the key controls on those developments, which is a minimum requirement for the amount of land you have to buy – that’s 40 hectares – and councils can control the size of the actual development by limiting the number of seats or beds,” Mr Buxton said. “What this means, if they have taken those two controls out, is you’re going to have massive residential complexes, perhaps linked to golf courses; you’re going to have large hotels, conference centres, function centres, restaurant complexes, residential hotels, wedding

reception places, group accommodation – which just means you can build a whole lot of units or caravan parks.” Mr Buxton said the peninsula had been subject to a number of such applications in the past. “You have to remember the kind of residential complexes that have been proposed – golf courses, residential complexes linked to function centres – we’re sometimes talking about 500 to 1000 dwellings in one single development,” he said. The government’s new zoning regulations revealed a development bias. “Ultimately, what they’re really on about is development and they don’t care where it happens. They’ve been prevailed upon to protect the green wedge zone to a point – and that’s a good thing, and congratulations, but it would have been a disaster for them had that not happened. “What’s the point in having an urban growth boundary if you can construct all these residential uses outside of your urban growth boundary? It makes the whole concept of a green wedge irrelevent. “There can be no compromise on the protection of beautiful areas like the peninsula if we are going to retain them for future generations. “Alan Hunt understood that and Sir Rupert Hamer, who created the whole concept, certainly understood that but their efforts have been undermined by subsequent governments who don’t seem to understand what they understood – that these areas are incredibly valuable to Melbourne for reasons other than development.”

SORRENTO

Delay over Link tourism signs By Mike Hast PENINSULA Link freeway has been open for seven months but the authorities are still discussing the location and types of locality and tourism signs. The freeway opened on 17 January but there were no signs on the four-lane road showing traffic where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the Western Port side of the peninsula. Dunkley federal MP Bruce Billson weighed in to the issue late last week when he said a Coalition government would contribute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist directional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”. He said he wanted to finish what he started in getting the freeway constructed by “getting location and tourist directional signs updated to make people more aware of destinations off and along the new freeway”. “I have worked with the community for several years to develop a plan to secure Peninsula Link but it’s important to update tourist directional signage that takes into account this great new asset to help locals and visitors find key destinations,” Mr Billson said. “Ending the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ treatment of Baxter by properly recognising the township with directional signage off the freeway is a matter of basic respect for a community that has the road at its doorstep. “Optimising the economic and employment benefits of Peninsula Link means installing tourist directional signage for regionally significant destinations to help move visitors with ease and convenience to the many enchanting experiences, natural attractions and tourist destinations that add to the appeal of the peninsula and provide so many jobs.” In late January, Western Port Tourism’s Lisa Dixon said it was very disappointing and a blow to the revival of tourism in the region that there were no signs to Hastings and no signs directing people to tourism destinations”. Linking Melbourne Authority, the state government’s freeway management authority, said there were no signs as the authority “did not wish to create issues in local communities by encouraging excessive truck usage on roads that are not designed or built to carry large volumes of heavy vehicles”.

LMA community and stakeholder manager Gemma Boucher said the authority had “carefully considered both direction and tourism signage for Peninsula Link in conjunction with Southern Way [the consortium that built the road], Abigroup [the freeway builder], VicRoads and Tourism Victoria”. “This had to take into account standard signage practices as well as carefully considering whether it was appropriate to be encouraging truck movements on to the local roads that connect with Peninsula Link,” she said. Linking Melbourne Authority, VicRoads, Mornington Peninsula Shire officers, area councillor David Garnock, Hastings MP Neale Burgess and other decision-makers met in April but the signs issue has not been resolved. Mr Billson blamed the state Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private-public partnership with freeway building consortium Southern Way, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority. “There are a number of known shortcomings in directional and tourism signs,” he said. “I had hoped the directional signage issue would have been resolved by now. It’s time to get on with it and this is why we have promised money.” Lisa Dixon said signs to Western Port towns should be installed at Frankston-Flinders, Bungower and Mornington-Tyabb roads. “There should also be brown tourism signs letting motorists know there is a new tourism information office in Hastings,” she said. A Tourism Victoria sign on Western Port Highway near the Ballarto Rd roundabout in Skye directed travellers to tourist information offices in Frankston and Dromana, which was 47 kilometres away, she said. “Staff at the Frankston tourist information office have had people walking in and asking for directions to Western Port,” she said. Western Port Tourism has written to Tourism Victoria asking it to update the sign. WPT is also seeking so-called “hero destination” signs that display large photos of tourism attractions on Western Port. “It would be good to have one of these at the northern end of Peninsula Link,” Ms Dixon said.

Dunkley’s minors dig deep for votes

Vote for us: Dunkley electorate minor party candidates Eloise Palmi, Kate Ryder, Simon Tiller and Yvonne Gentle.

By Toni Brient MOST Dunkley electorate residents would recognise Liberal MP Bruce Billson and might be familiar with Labor candidate Sonya Kilkenny. But four other candidates who will appear on the House of Representatives ballot paper next month may come as a surprise. While Greens candidate Simon Tiller has contested local federal and state seats in recent years, this election will see the political debut of Australian Sex Party candidate Eloise Palmi, Palmer United Party’s Kate Ryder, and Rise Up Australia Party’s Yvonne Gentle. Dunkley has been a marginal seat since it was created in the 1980s, despite Mr Billson keeping it in Liberal hands since 1996. At the 2010 election, he retained the seat by a 1 per cent margin. The contest this year is expected to be just as close, with the minor parties likely deciding the result after preferences are distributed. Mr Tiller said the Greens vote increased beyond the party’s expectations in 2010, and he was hoping for a similar result this time. None of the parties would disclose preference negotiations to The News, but there are internal discussions underway. Despite their obvious differences in political persuasions, the minor party candidates highlighted many common issues being raised by voters with whom they had spoken. “A much higher proportion than I expected, probably about 50 per cent of voters I met, were about refugees,” said Mr Tiller, whose party would have asylum seekers living in the community while their claims were processed. The Sex Party’s Ms Palmi says the government needed to better equip communities across the country with access to services and resources to accommodate the refugee intake as well as provide aid to the nations they’re fleeing. Ms Ryder said the Palmer United Party proposes a visa-on-arrival system to simplify claims processing, similar to current systems in Europe and the United Kingdom. The Rise Up Australia Party was more closely aligned with the major parties on immigration, advocating tougher border controls, which they said would preserve the Australian culture. “If you love Australia, you should love it for what it is and not make it like what you ran away from,” Ms Gentle said.

On the economy, most minor parties suggested reform in areas like welfare and taxation. Ms Ryder said the Palmer United Party would reassess Centrelink payments, abolish the Fringe Benefits Tax, and refund carbon tax payments made to the current government. The party also promised to increase the aged care pension, lower unemployment and abolish the age limit for DisabilityCare (the new name for NDIS, the National Disability Insurance Scheme). “I believe that there’s got to be fights – like what they do in Geelong [national headquarters of DisabilityCare] – to win contracts and have government agencies out there,” Ms Ryder said. “That would make a big difference in Frankston.” The Greens would make various changes to Centrelink payments, including a $50 a week increase to the Newstart allowance and returning some recently abolished single parent benefits. Ms Gentle said the Rise Up Australia Party was committed to achieving full employment, but could not go into details as the party had not yet released its employment policy. She said there was a need to review of local and state laws, including council rates, environmental zoning policy and traffic regulations. The specifics of these initiatives also had not been finalised by the party. Ms Palmi said the Sex Party was primarily concerned with social issues, education, and law and order funding. The party advocates drug legalisation and more rehabilitation programs. It also proposes a national sex education framework, and aims to address gender- and sexuality-based violence. She said violence and assaults were primary concerns in Dunkley. “I believe assaults in the past year have gone up 56 per cent in Frankston,” she said. “A good way to tackle this is to bring up these topics in schools.” While they aren’t specifically supporting sex education, most of the candidates highlighted schooling as an election issue, and an important issue for Dunkley. Last week, Labor’s Sonia Kilkenny told The News that education was her primary concern during the election campaign. Mr Tiller said the Greens education policy was similar to Labor’s. “But I think we go a bit further than the Labor Party; we won’t take money away from universities to fund secondary schools. The Greens look at improving funding for education across

the board because we believe a public education should be free to all people at all stages of life.” Palmer United Party plans to increase funding for youth extracurricular initiatives, including disbanding the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency and redirecting funds to a national youth sports framework. With the election campaign looking more like a United States presidential-style election, the focus is largely on national rather than local issues. According to the Dunkley minor party candidates, the issue is complex and not all negative. “When you’re still a minor party, it really becomes more of a focus on what sort of big issues can we bring to the table that will affect everyone,” Ms Palmi said. Mr Tiller said the focus on the bigger issues was a positive thing for voters. “We’re not talking about building new boatsheds,” he said. “We’re concerned about the long term. It might not appeal directly to the hip pocket of people in Dunkley, but to the global issues that I think people in Dunkley have in mind. These are things major parties won’t address.” Ms Ryder said federal elections were about national issues, and members needed to work with state and local governments to deliver specific projects and initiatives. “You’ve got to fight federally but locally as well. It’s about going to the state government and talking to them about all those things. But from a federal point of view, they do help fund big projects. So you’ve also got to fight for your own electorate to get part of that dollar spent in your own electorate,” she said. The big issues will be felt somewhere at an individual level, Ms Palmi said. “Depending on how those issues affect you personally is what is going to depend on what you find most important. If you’re not allowed to get married, that’s something that’s going to be a big issue for you. And that will feel local.” For more information about the minor parties, visit their websites: Australian Sex Party (Eloise Palmi): www. sexparty.org.au The Greens (Simon Tiller): www.greens.org.au Palmer United Party (Kate Ryder): www. palmerunited.com Rise Up Australia Party (Yvonne Gentle): www. riseupaustraliaparty.com

Armed robber foiled by liquor shop employee POLICE are hunting a man following an attempted armed robbery at Gateway shopping centre in Langwarrin last week. The would-be bandit (pictured) entered the Liquorland store about 3.30pm on Wednesday last week and demanded the female attendant hand over cash. The bandit told the attendant he was armed and lifted his windcheater to ex-

pose a black object. The attendant was not sure if it was the handle of a knife or a firearm, police said. The attendant warned the man she was going to call police and store security, and he fled empty-handed. He remained calm and unflustered throughout the incident, the attendant told police. The alleged offender was aged in his mid-20s, had a goatee beard and mous-

tache, was wearing a black windcheater, black cap with a green logo, and was described as being of solid build. He was last seen leaving the shopping centre on foot. Anyone who can identify the bandit or who saw anything suspicious at the time of the robbery can call Frankston detectives on 9784 5590 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Chris Brennan

Hot air over Torres Strait ANALYSIS

By Keith Platt THE latest chest-beating and outpourings of rage by politicians over four asylum seekers arriving in northern Australia via the Torres Strait smacks of hypocrisy. It’s a sideshow, a distraction on the way to main event. There’s nothing new about the porous nature of Australia’s northern frontier, especially with its nearest neighbour, Papua New Guinea. The islands of Saibai and Boigu are the closest Australia gets to PNG, about 3.5 kilometres. Only 17 of the 138 Torres Strait islands are inhabited, and residents of PNG’s closest villages can travel across the water without passport or visa, much as they have always done. Church groups regularly come to Bamaga, on the Australian mainland. The 120-kilometre journey is no obstacle for people who live from the sea. None of this is surprising for anyone who knows the area and none of it has ever been kept secret from Australian governments. The saying “guns north, drugs south” is not made without reason. If it’s possible to smuggle this type of contraband, why not people? Especially to an area where boat arrivals are more likely to be checked for carrying diseased fruit or poultry rather than identification. A database of asylum seeker boats lists 15 arriving in the Torres Strait between May 1992 and May 2001 with 800 people on board. The last man left in PNG’s Manus Island detention centre in 2004, Kuwait-born Aladdin Sisalem, arrived in Torres Strait by boat 18 months before. The porous border also works in the other di-

rection. It was the route home chosen in 1992 by Malaysian Prince Raja Bahrin and the two children he reclaimed from his former wife, Jacqueline, when she was married to former Frankston resident, journalist Iain Gillespie. (She now writes an “agony aunt” column for a Sunday magazine as Jacqueline Pascarl.) The prince – hailed a hero at home and a villain in Australia – took a boat across our northern frontier, choosing to make landfall in West Papua, the troubled Indonesian-controlled other half of what was once New Guinea. Being given safe passage through the Indonesian province made the last leg of that particular journey so much easier. I went to Torres Strait five times over the course of 12 months in 2001, as part of a documentary crew hired to film part of ABC TV’s Island Life series. There was nothing political about the storyline, unless you include scrambling aboard a seized Indonesian fishing boat before it was burned on the beach to kill infestations of rats and insects. The “story” being chronicled by producer and cinematographer Terry Carlyon and I concerned the efforts being made to prevent deaths in the top end from tropical diseases, mainly the deadly Japanese encephalitis. One of the shoots involved accompanying a group of scientists on a Royal Australian Navy patrol boat to Ker Island, a remote coral cay just south of the border between PNG and West Papua. During a four-day stay on the coral cay, we found evidence of other visitors. An empty, half-burned box of Indonesian matches lay in the embers of a campfire with the remains of a turtle. Aboard the patrol boat at night, we would see the lights and hear the sound of an aircraft pass-

way not new ing overhead. The skipper would go to the wheelhouse and speak with the crew of the Australian Customs’ Coastwatch plane. He never said what they spoke about. All secret squirrel stuff. About a week after returning to Melbourne, I saw a small news item about 14 refugees being picked up from that coral cay, where there was no fresh water and little else but a couple of palm trees and low-lying scrub. You could run around it in less than 30 minutes. It seemed obvious Australian authorities had been tipped off. The chances of a ship or boat going near the place before people died of thirst or hunger were about as remote as the island itself. Eventually, I gleaned a bit of information from the federal parliamentary Hansard. Asylum seekers had been brought to the mainland, with eight (or nine) going to Port Headland. The rest apparently escaped. To where or to what I was unable to find out. This all happened while John Howard was prime minister, Bruce Billson was (and remains) federal MP for Dunkley (Seaford to Mornington), and Flinders MP Peter Reith was defence minister (he was succeeded as Flinders MP by Liberal colleague Greg Hunt in November 2001).

Tampa was yet to happen. The captain of the ship was decorated in Norway for saving asylum seekers while pilloried in Australia for taking them to Christmas Island and embarrassing the Howard government. Many have since settled in Australia after first being granted New Zealand citizenship. During many hours of helicopter travel over Torres Strait, we would see young teenagers skilfully moving between the islands in their tinnies. Their small outboards were fed fuel through a rubber tube inserted into the opening of a fourgallon tin. One would stand in the bow holding a rope while the other steered through the coral reefs. The islanders use tinnies like suburbanites use cars. On a Saturday morning they are lined up on the main beach at Thursday Island, much like the supermarket car park fills with cars. The islanders have their own flag (often, but not always, flown alongside the Aboriginal flag) and appeared to sometimes have a disdain for authority. One memorable afternoon was enlivened for us by half a dozen men baring their backsides as Customs helicopter approached. I doubt little has changed.

Should We Fear God?

“Fear God & Keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil�. (Eccl 11:13+14 Bible). What is the fear of God? Does that mean He just lives to punish all us sinners? NO NO NO, in fact the opposite. It’s by having a healthy reverence & fear of God that we come into receiving from Him all that we need & desperately want in our lives. Love, Joy, peace, freedom, forgiveness, healing & strength. In fact life itself....to it’s fullest experience & satisfaction. God is doing His outmost to lead us & offer us the right advice & direction. It’s us who are self centred, deceitful & untrue & ungodly in our ways....Then we have the nerve to blame God for the outcome & consequences of our ways, attitudes & wrong decisions. God want’s to free us from our own driving destructive force within us & the very nature of mankind. He knows that if we live to please ourselves & not take notice & obey His commandments & advice to us, then we will destroy ourselves in this life & also pay the very dear price in the life to come. God sent His son Jesus into the world to pay the price for us & through His sacrifice we are offered freedom, atonement & pardon. However we need to believe & receive that free gift of God’s forgiveness & salvation. We need to acknowledge our sins & change our ways to please & serve Him in obedience to what He knows is right for us. Namely, love one another, as this covers all God’s commandments. And most of all, love Him! His great loving heart toward us offers us a way that is right, & the benefits are for eternity.God is just, fair & holy. He requires us to be also. Isn’t it time? Come to God!

Clear water: Left, Jesse Lee of Balnarring, left, and Stacey Chilcott of Hastings want to make a documentary to spread the word about the threats to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (pictured above) and the freshwater aquifers that run under the Tucatan Peninsula into the sea. Left picture: Yanni

Doco makers dive in to save a reef By Keith Platt ONE of the world’s greatest coral reefs is under threat from pollution. Governments have bent over backwards to help developers build highrise resorts over pristine beaches. A four-lane highway had been built and an international airport is on the drawing board. The storyline has a familiar ring, but this reef lies off Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, not far north Queensland. Stacey Chilcott of Hastings and Jesse Lee of Balnarring want to make a documentary to spread the word about the threats to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System and the freshwater aquifers that run under the peninsula into the sea.

The two former Western Port Secondary College students have already made a small documentary, which, after being loaded onto YouTube and shown at the Port Fairy Film Festival, helped persuade the ABC’s Foreign Correspondent program to run a report. Ms Chilcott, a freshwater biologist who investigated the impact of climate and land use change on aquatic organisms in the caves of southwest Western Australia, became alarmed about the effects of pollution on the tourist drawcard Riviera Maya after winning a scholarship to Mexico in 2010. In Mexico she worked as a researcher with conservationists on the Yucatan Peninsula to protect the freshwater, marine and terrestrial

ecosystems threatened by the “megaresort developments resulting from the booming tourism industry”. “Apart from the obvious physical devastation caused by the development of these massive resorts, they also release a huge amount of domestic waste such as sewage and herbicidal pollutants from golf course maintenance that goes directly into underground rivers, which is the only drinking water supply for the area,” Ms Chilcott said. “The Mexican government does not want to protect the area as it is in a primary economic development area as a result of the breathtaking natural beauty. UNESCO is unable to call it a world heritage site without federal protection.

“After speaking with concerned residents of Riviera Maya, I became aware the only way to achieve support was to push for international awareness.” Before returning to Australia, Ms Chilcott filmed interviews with locals, whose lives and livelihoods stood to be detrimentally affected if the ecosystem was damaged. Official brochures for the region carry the motto “Paradise is Forever”, along with many pictures of turquoise seas, reef fish, and divers in the underground Riviera Maya and Mayan ruins. Ms Chilcott said the Foreign Correspondent report (aired in February) “was a really inspirational moment” and prompted her and fellow fresh-

water biologist Django Van Tholen of Warrnambool and Mr Lee to make a full-length documentary. “We’ll be filming at the Ninth National Assembly of Environmentally Affected Peoples and will also conduct interviews with world renowned speakers on the environmental, social and economic impacts of the largescale developments,” Ms Chilcott said. Mr Lee, who edited the YouTube clip, will be director of photography. The filmmakers are heading to Mexico at the end of the month and while they have “a lot of support”, they are trying to raise $5000 to increase the film’s production values through the internet-based money-raising site www.pozible.com/project/29553

Dolphins’ function centre dream a reality By Mike Hast FRANKSTON Dolphins’ dream of a new function centre and clubrooms is a step closer to reality after the club and Frankston Council agreed terms two weeks ago. The council will build a two-storey “community function centre” on the site of the club’s existing building and the Dolphins will manage it. It will incorporate part of the existing building constructed by the Dolphins. Frankston Park Function Centre will hold 370 people downstairs and 220 people upstairs. Dolphins president John Barry said many community groups use the building because of its affordability and location, but the club had been forced to turn groups away in recent times. He said a new function centre was a necessity to cater for 100 local groups, schools, clubs, charities and businesses that had used the social rooms. “Many of those groups, particularly schools, told us they wanted to be able to hold their major functions in Frankston rather than heading elsewhere, and we are delighted with the support this idea has received from all funding partners,” Mr Barry said. Project funding comes from the state government ($1.5 million), Frankston Council ($500,000), VFL ($250,000) and AFL ($250,000). The state government money was allocated in October 2010 by the Labor government. Just over a month later, the Brumby government was defeated by the Ted Baillieu-led Coalition, but

the grant was carved in stone and honoured by the government. When planning started in August 2011, the project was costed at about $3 million but the Dolphins’ contribution of $500,000 will now be in-kind. The club hopes to complete the building to lock-up stage will cost about $2.5 million and the internal fitout will be done by the club, its supporters and sponsors, and have a nominal value of about $500,000. In 2011, the club hoped construction would start in June 2012 and be finished in March 2013.

Dolphins’ stalwart and general manager Bryan Mace told The News it was hoped tenders would be called before Christmas with building to start next March and take 8-9 months. “We’ll build around our gaming room and social room,” he said. About 50 per cent of the complex will be demolished to make way for the new centre, he said. There would be a new entrance off Plowman Place to the first storey. Mr Mace said the Dolphins would not be able to play at home for several

weeks while machinery occupied part of the ground. “When we have the building schedule, we’ll talk to clubs like Sandringham and Casey to see if we can play home games there,” he said. More games would be played at home later in the 2014 season, he said. The project will transform the club, which has resolutely stood alone since 2000 when most VFL sides aligned with AFL clubs. Mayor Cr Sandra Mayer congratulated the club for its work in making

the project possible. “The Dolphins secured $2 million of funding from the AFL and state government to create a function centre that is affordable for local community groups and schools, and that will also help ensure the club’s future,” she said. The function centre will be the second major building project at the ground in recent times. The historic grandstand was replaced after burning to the ground on 13 February 2008. It was officially opened in November 2010.

Lucky miss as street light head crashes on road

Light’s out: Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Lisa Dixon with the street light head that crashed on to High St in Hastings. Right, an intact street light. Pictures: Cameron McCullough

A DISASTER was narrowly averted after a heavy street light plunged more than 10 metres onto High St in the midst of busy late-morning trade last week. The light fitting broke off a 10-metre pole in high winds at about 11.30am on Monday, crashing to the roadway outside the ANZ Bank at the corner of King St. Staff members at a nearby business said it was only good luck that saved someone being seriously injured or killed. “It just came crashing down all of a sudden. There was a loud smash; it sounded like a car accident,” said an employee at a High St business, who asked her name not be used. “We looked outside and saw the light fitting on the road. It’s very lucky it didn’t hit anyone. This is a pretty busy crossing here; people use it all the time. “It had the potential to be a real disaster had it hit a car or a bike or a person. It’s very heavy and it has fallen a long way so it would have caused a lot of damage had it hit anything. “It was only because it was such a windy day that the street wasn’t busier. You really have to wonder about the safety of the other lights – they’re all the way up the street.” The employee said she had phoned Mornington Peninsula Shire about the incident “but they said they didn’t know who was responsible for the light. They just said they’d log a job number. “But that was on Monday and it’s now Friday and we still haven’t heard anything back. We assumed the shire would have got back to us by now. It’s not good enough.” Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Lisa Dixon said the incident was particularly concerning as there were dozens of lights on High St and elsewhere in the town. “We’re hoping United Energy will now come and check all the lights,” she said. A United Energy spokesman said: “We conduct regular inspections on all street lights in our network, however, due to the sheer volume we are reliant on the council, who often own the asset, and members of the public to inform us of street light outages.

“Our field crews were only recently informed of the case and a crew attended the site yesterday [Thursday] to ensure it was safe and perform the works. Unfortunately, the metal head of the street light was missing and the team will be returning first thing on Monday morning to conduct a full restoration. “Members of the public can report street light outages by visiting our website (www.uemg.com.au) or calling the faults line on 132 099.” Chris Brennan

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy. On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system. Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value. All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services. GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year. F•S•A/DPC0018

Healthy Living Are you struggling from reflux, heartburn or GORD What is reflux? Reflux occurs when the acid in your stomach, which is there to help you digest your food, rises up into your oesophagus. Your stomach has a thick mucous lining that protects it from the acids inside, but your oesophagus doesn’t have this protection, so when it is exposed to acid it may become irritated and painful leading to symptoms of heartburn.

The facts about heel pain and plantar fasciitis

What is heartburn? Heartburn is a burning sensation that rises from your stomach or lower chest towards your throat. Heartburn is the most common symptom of reflux and GORD (gastrooesophageal reflux disease) Up to 1-in-5 adults experience heartburn at least once a week. What to do when medication isn’t helping? The first step in treating severe indigestion or GORD is anti-reflux medication. When medication isn’t helping your symptoms there is another solution. At LAPSurgery Australia, we have the latest in manometry technology to accurately diagnose reflux disease. In our clinics you can be assessed, diagnosed, given dietary advice

and, if necessary, offered a surgical solution. The operation is done laparoscopically and if you are a candidate for the surgery, you will be relieved of the terrible symptoms of reflux disease. Patients who have had our procedure for reflux often ask

“Why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner”? A referral from your GP is required for consultation with Mr Chris Hensman regarding high resolution manometry (manoscan). For appointments or queries, please phone 9760 2777

HEEL pain is extremely common, in fact more than 80 per cent of Australians will suffer this problem at some point. Common symptoms include a painful or bruising feeling first thing in the morning, throbbing at the end of the day, stiffness/soreness when standing up after sitting, or pain during/after activity. Leading sports podiatrist, Dr Paul Dowie says: “There is much misinformation around heel pain, often leading to misdiagnosis. Heel pain symptoms are most often diagnosed as either heel spurs or plantar fasciitis when this is not accurate. “Most heel pain occurs when the plantar fascia (connective tissues running along the bottom of the foot), becomes overloaded, resulting in degeneration of tissues. During weight bearing

activity, the fascia can be strained and repeatedly pull on the heel bone, often leading to the formation of a heel spur. However, the spur itself rarely causes pain, it’s the degeneration of the surrounding plantar fascia or soft tissue that does. This is known as Plantar Fasciosis, not Fasciitis. One is degenerative, the other inflammatory and they need to be treated very differently, and therefore must be diagnosed properly. The key here is, as this condition is usually degenerative, and not inflammatory in nature, anti-inflammatory treatments, which are often prescribed, should NOT be used. These won’t fix heel pain and can prolong the injury, increasing the risk of further tissue damage.” If you’d like Dr Dowies advice, call Foot and Leg Pain Clinics on 1300 328 300.

A complete approach to health and weight loss CURVES Complete, aims to promote long term weight loss by boosting body metabolism, according to Judy from Curves Mornington “We want to end this pattern of women losing weight and then quickly gaining it back. Curves Complete is designed to help women lose weight and keep it off for the long term. “There are many diet plans available which can help women lose weight but it’s often at the expense of losing valuable muscle - which slows down metabolism and can contribute to a lifetime of ‘yo-yo’ dieting,” Judy said the program takes a holistic approach, combining a scientifically proven 30 minute workout circuit at Curves Mornington with one-on-one coaching and personalized meal plans. “Most people who are serious about losing weight know that they won’t get the results they want by just dieting. They also need to exercise and they need encouragement to stick to the plan. This is what Curves Complete can provide.” Judy said that many local women had achieved great weight loss results already, after trying Curves Complete. According to the Curves’ Director of Exercise & Research, Katie Mitchell, Curves Complete

is the culmination of years of research involving thousands of study participants. “Ninety-five percent of dieters fail—or lose weight only to gain it all back—not because there’s something wrong with them, but because there’s something wrong with conventional diets. It takes a combination of three things: exercise, diet, and coaching, or motivation, to successfully lose weight as body fat rather than lean muscle and then keep it off.” “The beauty of Curves Complete is that it offers women a complete weight loss solution—exercise, meal plans, and coaching—in one convenient location and for about the same price as other weight loss companies charge for diet alone,” said Yvonne Shepherd, Marketing Director, Curves Australia. “This is an important step in the fight against the chronic obesity that plagues our society. Curves is proud to offer this revolutionary new weight loss program and make it accessible and affordable for millions of women.” For further information or to book in for a free consultation please call Curves Mornington on 5975 5526 or drop into our Centre at 1/8 Spray St, Mornington.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The local ladies of science branch out, lady luck comes to the Peninsula Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 August 1913. The niece of Cr J. Lloyd, of Langwarrin, Dr Georgina Sweet, Professor of Biology at the Melbourne University, left Victoria last week on a scientific tour of the world, and has been instructed by the Federal Government to make exhaustive enquiries in regard to the parasite known as nodules in cattle, which is the cause of serious deterioration in the quality of beef affected, and consequent loss to all concerned in providing beef for export or home consumption. Her sister, Dr Elizabeth M. Sweet, who left this State to take charge as resident medical officer of the Lady Lamington Hospital for women, in Brisbane, and later was appointed as resident medical officer of the Children’s Hospital in the same city, has been appointed by the Executive as Assistant Medical Inspector of Schools for Queensland. Mr George Sweet, A.G.S., the father of these talented lady doctors, who is well known in scientific circles as a geologist, is the brother of Cr J. Lloyd, the President of the Cranbourne Shire. *** Luck must turn to some district one time or other. Three well-known persons of this place were lucky enough to make a draw in Tattersalls. One drew a horse, and two friends drew a substantial prize. *** On account of election notices this week, a quantity of interesting items are held over till next issue. *** Mr S. S. Price, dentist, will attend at St Pancras, Frankston, on Sunday

next, for the convenience of patients. *** Cr Godfrey Patterson notifies in this issue that he again offers himself for re-election to a seat in the West Riding of the Shire of Flinders and Kangereng. *** Cr S Stephens and Mr W. A. Korner will address the electors of Mornington on Tuesday evening next, on municipal matters. *** A special horse sale will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason at Somerville on Wednesday, 27th Aug, when over 100 good useful sorts of horses and ponies will be offered for sale. *** A clearing sale of stock and plant, on account of Mr T. L. Jensen, will be conducted at Cain’s farm, Boneo, by Messrs T. R. B. Morton and Son, on Friday, 29th August. *** Mr Norman Chirton, the well known Melbourne baritone, who has just returned from a successful tour of New Zealand, has kindly consented to sing at the Choral concert on the 80th inst. Mr Chirton appeared for some time with the Periotts, at St. Kilda. *** The secretary of the Somerville Football Club desires to acknowledge the following donations to the club:Messrs G. G. Cole and S. S. Gault 10s 6d each, Mr J. Sage £1 1s, and Mr G. Reed 10s. *** At the Mornington shire council, held on Thursday, it was decided that a man be put on to assist the secretary in numbering the graves in the Moo-

rooduc cemetery; also on that tenders be called for the work of clearing the paths of weeds. *** The death occurred at her residence, 6 Edmund street, Clifton Hill, on Wednesday last, of Sarah Faulkner Ashmore, who was well-known and highly respected in Frankston. Deceased, who was only 46 years of age, had been suffering for some time, so her end was not unexpected. She leaves a husband and two sons to mourn their loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to them. *** An old identity of Frankston, in the person of Mrs Mills, passed peacefully away at a hospital in Melbourne on Saturday last. Some time ago the old lady had a fall, and injured her leg, and in spite of loving care and attention she never recovered from the shock. She lived to a ripe old age, and was a resident of Frankston for a great number of years. *** By the courtesy of Mr Thomas Murray, C. E., Engineer of the State Rivers and Water Commission, we have been furnished with the following additional information concerning the important conference on the water scheme at Mornington, reported in our last issue: Instead of Major Mansell we should have said Major Manser. With regard to the amount of water available, it should be stated that there was, with adequate storage at Monbulk Creek, sufficient to supply at least 12000 people, including Dandenong. It was stated that the cost of the preliminary work would be £450; we should have said not to exceed £450.

*** A football match between teams representing the Frankston Brass Band and the Frankston Football Club was played in the Frankston park on Saturday last. The game was fairly evenly contested, several Frankston players assisting the bandsmen. After an interesting game, want of condition told on the bandsmen, and the Frankston team ran out winners. The game was umpired by Mr A. Verney. During the interval, a collection was taken up, and the proceeds were divided between the football club and the band. The Frankston juniors journeyed to Mornington on Saturday, and suffered defeat at the hands of the locals. *** Owing to the great traffic here the roads are in a most disgraceful state, in some places being almost impossible to pass along. To drive from here to Bittern along the main road means endangering any vehicle to a broken axle. *** On Tuesday night a social was held in Crib Hall, but owing to the bad state of the roads the attendance was lot as large as it might have been. Dancing began at 8 pm. and kept going merrily till 11.30, when supper was handed round. After the appetites were fully satisfied, dancing was resumed until 2 a.m. Miss Romeo ably performed at the piano, while Mr Blair carried out the duties, in a proficient manner. *** Quite a gloom was cast over this district when the death of Mr Ryan, of Hastings, was announced. The district in general sympathise deeply with the widow and family.

*** Everylady’s Journal, the Australian magazine for women, is essentially a journal that is indispensable to the woman who is fighting to run her home on practical and up-to-date lines. The August issue, however, just published, strikes a strong note of general interest and entertainment with such articles as ‘The Litery Girl Who Goes to London,’ Miss Roberts on ‘Billiards for Women,’ The Story of Captain Oates,’ ‘The Splendour of the English Court,’ and some fine short stories. Miss Geraldine Farrar, one of the most famous actresses in the world, has some interesting things to say on ‘Should an Actress Marry ?’ We quote: ‘My ideas on marriage? I do not wish to imply that my course is the only one; but it is the only one for me. Why should I marry? Matrimony look upon as some thing serious and apart. Love and matrimony do not wear the same pair of shoes. Marriage means propagation: two friends and a family. The real mother has no time in which to become an artist. A woman cannot divide family interests with any other. I could not look forward to singing an ill child to sleep at home. I have a talent for being what I am; take me out of my sphere and domesticate me, and I am done.’ For the rest of this article and a score of other good things, we must refer readers to the August issue of ‘Everylady’s Journal’ sold locally for 6d. If readers can’t secure it locally, the magazine may he secured post free to your home for 6 months if a 3s postal note is sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston Street, Melbourne.

Jazz from hell - How I ruined music By Stuart McCullough MUSIC is the food of love. But, truth be told, my own musical endeavours have been responsible for some pretty severe cases of food poisoning over the years. I’m sure some people play a few notes or hum a few bars and cause the world at large to swoon. That’s never been my experience. Most people play music for an audience. Not me. I’m lucky if even one person turns up. That’s not so much an audience as an audient. Nevertheless, I would play my heart out to the audient until that person would inevitably duck out to the toilets and never return. In first year uni, I knew a guy called Bruce. He was extremely talented and had his heart set on being admitted to a course at the Victorian College of the Arts, specialising in musical improvisation. I’ve never been much for improvising, seemingly unable to let myself go and surrender myself to ‘the Force’. It was always the writing part about music that I liked the most and the idea of playing without a net violated every instinct and fibre in my being. For those reasons, as well a chronic lack of talent, I was an odd choice to accompany Bruce for his audition. Bruce played saxophone and seemed to be able to channel a great sense of feeling at will. My piano playing efforts are best described as ‘meat-handed’ and somewhat devoid of subtlety. Perhaps he wanted to create a contrast. Or, alternatively, to generate a thought in the minds of those from the college along the lines of: things could be worse – we could have been stuck

with the guy on the piano. Or just elicit the sympathy vote. With so much at stake, it was appropriate that we rehearse. But given that the work was meant to be improvised, it was hard to know exactly how far to take our preparations and how much should be left to dumb luck. Invariably, I would start with a few open chords and allow Bruce to find his way in. Where it went after that was pretty much anyone’s guess. Sometimes it seemed to follow a logical path, but on other occasions our instruments were engaged in some kind of musical tug of war. That said, there were moments when the results seemed – at least to us – kind of wonderful. When the big day came, we headed

down to the Victorian College of the Arts. I had seen several episodes of the TV show Fame and fully expected students to be pirouetting down the hallways and breaking into song. For that reason, as well as comfort, I wore my best leg-warmers and leotard. Upon arriving, we were asked to sign in at reception. Taking my cue, I jumped back, span around, leapt on a chair and began to sing. As I surveyed the horrified faces around me, it began to dawn on me that – once again – I may be been misled by television. We had to wait our turn and were both nervous. When Bruce’s name was called we were ushered into a small white room. Behind a trestle table sat three members of the faculty who, by

the looks on their faces, had all eaten prunes for breakfast. It was as if we’d stolen their parking spot and had run over the faculty cat in the process. We were unwelcome. It’s said that music soothes the savage beast. Having said that, I don’t recall the Crocodile Hunter ever singing a few bars of, Moonlight Becomes You So before throwing himself astride a one tonne reptile. In retrospect, I would have been better off going the full Steve Irwin. Instead of trying to placate them with music, I should have leapt from atop the upright piano and tackled them to the floor, tying them up before safely relocating them to a remote location where they could have been released into the wild. In all honesty, Bruce’s

chances of being accepted would have been vastly improved if I had. I took a deep breath and began to play. As was my custom, I began with a few open chords and Bruce honked out a few notes. In terms of our improvisation, we tended to use ‘the volcano model’. This involves various tremors before a full-blown eruption and a quiet dissolution. Today, however, something was wrong. I’d head in one direction and Bruce would head in the other. It was as though the piano and saxophone were engaged in some kind of hand-to-hand combat. In a last ditch attempt to save the moment, I abandoned myself completely to the music. The music, however, rewarded this sign of faith with a complete cacophony that would make Van Gogh want to chop off the other ear just for some peace and quiet. Suddenly, I was like Jimi Hendrix, moments away from upending the piano and setting it on fire. My hands were nothing but a blur as I played, played and played… In an instant, it was over. As I looked up, the remaining teacher looked horrified. Two had already left, leaving only an audient behind. Even Bruce looked a little shocked. My experimental jazz odyssey had gone seriously off the rails, travelling to a point of no return. Traditionally, auditions end with words like ‘we’ll be in touch’ or even ‘thank you’. On this occasion, we were told simply to, ‘get out’. I felt bad for Bruce, but I’m sure he’s gone onto something better. Or, if nothing else, learned to be more particular in who he asked to accompany him. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance HERE Comes the Night, the music of Van Morrison returns to Melbourne for one show only following a sold out performance at The Palais theatre earlier this year. Here Comes The Night will provide a rare opportunity for the many fans of Van Morrison’s music to enjoy the magic of his remarkable body of work as performed by the exceptional talents of Joe Camilleri, Vince Jones and Vika Bull at the Palais Theatre on Friday November 29. Joe Camilleri is the principal performer and Repertoire Director. A legend of Australian contemporary rock music through his bands Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons and The Black Sorrows, Joe has been a Van Morrison fan from the first stirrings of his interest in music. His knowledge of the Morrison Songbook combined with his understanding of Morrison’s R&B, Soul and Celtic arrangements make him the ideal celebrant of the genius of this enigmatic modern master. Vince Jones is a regular headliner throughout Australia. Here he joins Joe to bring his own silky skills to Morrison’s jazz oriented arrangements. Vika Bull’s recent starring role in At Last: Etta James landed her under a solo spotlight and reminded music fans of the soulful clarity and energy that she added to Joe’s Black Sorrows. Morrison’s penchant for duet arrangements of his classics in concert provides the perfect vehicle for Joe, Vince and Vika to do likewise. To add to the brilliant line-up on stage will be The Voodoo Sheiks and The Silo String Quartet. Here Comes the Night: Songs from Van Morrison; the Palais Theatre, Friday 29 November. Tickets 136 100. *** RAISED in records and rock ‘n’ roll radio in New Jersey, “The Boss” articulated the hopes and dreams of America’s post-Vietnam generation in a society the seemed to have lost its way. Springsteen (pictured) became hooked on music after witnessing

the Binrats, Stompy and many more acts. Tickets www.qmf.net.au

Elvis Presley’s performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Then aged 13, he purchased a second hand guitar and learned to play Elvis and Chuck Berry songs. He later joined a school band. It was producer, Steve Van Zandt who introduced Springsteen to a ‘hard edge’ in music and in 1975 the result was Born to Run and Springsteen’s re-christening as “The Boss”. The debuted at No.3 in the US and the album established him so firmly as a star that his career was able to survive despite litigation form former producer Mike Appel. Springsteen became a bona fide rock superstar with his next album, Born in the USA, an album which sold over 12 million copies, stayed in the UK charts for more than two years. Bruce Springsteen is on his way to Melbourne and will appear at AAMI Park, February 15, 2014 with special guests Hunters & Collectors. Tickets on sale August 26, Telephone 132 849.

“Never separate the working man from his beer and cigarettes” said the great Ben Chifley. You’re not real Labor Kevvy; you’ve blown it and in the process sentenced we real Labor supporters to Tony Abbott. The Greens will support it and Abbott will keep it but you started it Kevvy. *** I WONDER why non-smokers are consistently taking the time to rubbish us in their letters to the newspapers? Their right-minded thinking (according to them) reminds me of the ins and outs of a duck’s bum. Hey, there’s a mere 13 per cent of us left. Calm down, bask in your victory. Indulge yourselves with latte’s sitting outside in the clean air. Not too much sugar and away from car exhausts. And salt; cut down on the salt, let your nippers and dogs run wild. Oh, and keep an eye on the road for 70 and over car drivers. *** THIS upcoming election preamble is sure to be a pain so in deference to my readers I’ll have my say quickly and promise no more politics until after 7 September. Who we vote for is of no consequence on the Mornington Peninsula but it matters along the Frankston line. Both parties are appealling for the redneck and bigot vote with heaps of misinformation as to our economy and social services, not to mention the

frighteners on border security and whinging small business owners. Tony Abbott is a shoe in on the basis of “it’s time” and American Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers daily attacks on Labor, so if nothing else we can find out if little Joey Hockey is the real deal and hopefully the Senate vote give us a measure of order. They both present their arguments on what they think we think and both give billions in tax concessions on superannuation to the wealthiest 5 per cent. Said Tony: “We’ll build a stronger economy so that everyone will get ahead”-always assuming you have private transport and can afford the petrol. From Nancy in Oliver the musical: “If you don’t mind going without things, it’s a fine fine life”. Go on, sing it. Lift your spirits. Close your eyes, get a pin and press down. *** THERE’S a lull in the air on the Mornington Peninsula. A form of mild preelection satisfaction. The Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, like the extension freeway to Sorrento is relegated to fantasy and council has voted almost unanimously against the Arthurs Seat Dromana quarry tip proposal. Then there’s the “no entertainment/ no nonsense” proposal for the Rye New Year’s Eve celebrations to thwart those looking to engage in anti-social behaviour. Finally we are hushed in

*** FOR the first time ever in Australia the Emmy Award winning drama, Tour of Duty, is being released on DVD in its glorious entirety.

A Grain of Salt PEOPLE get paid real money to tell us what happiness is? A Collingwood victory is happiness; a loss is misery. An honest real estate agent can bring happiness. Professor Ed Diener is supposedly “the world’s leading researcher into happiness”. Nothing against Ed, but surely over the top? Ed says: “Bad things will happen to us all, but we can actually choose to be happy” and “happiness is caused by relationships, goals and habits – and not by lots of money”. Good stuff Ed, and they pay you big money? As I’ve said before the big three-music, laughter and good company. Joys and sorrows are annexed Ed, as is love. Good fortune cannot last forever, ask Nathan Tinkler. Ed added there are certain routes to happiness; you’re right there Ed; I wish. *** NSW ALP powerbroker Lebanese born Eddie Obeid has been the subject of corruption charges as a result of investigations tabled by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. True, his actions could seriously damage Kevin Rudd’s election chances, but my anti-Rudd rant is his cigarette tax on a tax (including col adjustments) furthering his ‘holier than thou’ paranoia on refusing the poor among us and pensioners the freewill opportunity to have a cigarette.

anticipation for the results of the state parliamentary committee trip to Europe to ascertain “local economic development initiatives in Victoria” from luminaries Geoff Shaw, Inga Peulich, Martin Foley, Ben Carroll, Neale Burgess and Christine Fyffe. Expect nothing, regret nothing. *** THE difference between art and pornography? Obviously, pornography engenders lust whereas art engenders admiration for the glory and beauty of the human body. James Joyce’s Ulysses was judged not obscene on the grounds that offensive language in a literary work is not obscene where it does not promote lust. Those early Peter Carter-Brown books promoted lust. The detective takes a blonde into his room and the following line was invariably: “The next morning?” Youthful times imbibing over an ale at Young and Jacksons with the young nymph Chloe looking down on me, with no thoughts of lust before the fifth pot. Ahh, the guilt from those drawings in Man magazines in the 1950s. *** TONY’S guru (Johnny Howard) did it, so why can’t Tony? Easy peasy. The highest-taxing government in history, privatisation and almost nothing on infrastructure, not to mention interest rates and inflation. Here in Victoria

Doggies celebrate big night with finals campaign launch PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly MORNINGTON will play Peninsula League finals in 2013 after getting the job done in a must-win game against Pines on Saturday. All footy supporter’s eyes were firmly planted on the Pythons and the Doggies. The equation going into the final round was simple. The winner between Mornington and Pines would play finals football. There was a hitch, however. If the Dogs won, they had to hope that Karingal didn’t beat Seaford by a margin greater than five goals more than their own winning margin. As it turned out, Mornington defeated Pines by 33 points, which meant that the Bulls needed to win by more than 10 goals. They didn’t, only beating Seaford by three points. It was a sea of celebration for the Doggies, who were written-off by many four weeks ago. However, they came out firing in the second half, booting six goals to two and recording what turned out to be a comfortable victory. It was a massive day and night for the Mornington Football Club, who honoured their ‘Team of Our Time’ on Saturday night.

Coach Stuart Seagar said it was an outstanding result for the whole club. “The committee has done a wonderful job for so many years and I was just so happy for all of them that we could repay them by getting into the finals,” Seagar said. “But now that we are there, we just don’t want to make up the numbers. “Our goal at the beginning of the season was to play finals footy and we have achieved that. But there’s no point getting there if you’re not willing to sacrifice and have an impact. “We beat Edithvale-Aspendale earlier in the season and we are confident that our best football will get the desired result again. “Our kids led the way on Saturday and I thought we were able to show some of the character that I believe we have lacked at times this season. “At different stages in games this year I have looked for extra effort and sometimes we haven’t been able give it. “However, on Saturday, after a slow start we were able to lift and thenrespond to the situation when it counted. “Our intentions were great in the third quarter and our last quarter, against the breeze, was superb. “We managed to kick three goals to Pines’ one point in the final quarter,

which I thought was outstanding against the wind. “It’s time now to take that form and display it next week against Edithvale,” Seagar said. Pines booted the first three goals of the match against the breeze before the Doggies kicked six of the next seven goals. Emilio Bitters was in spectacular form and finished with four goals for the match and ‘Tommy’ Simpson was outstanding with three goals. Anthony Franchina also kicked three goals for the winners and Kallum Searle was back and doing a job in the forward half with two majors. Daniel Moss continues to dominate and Chris Baker was at the top of his game. For Pines, Brendan Neville and Guy Hendry (three goals) were among their team’s best, while Shaun White was also very good with three goals. How does Frankston YCW do it? On Saturday against Edithvale– Aspendale, the Stonecats were outplayed for the majority of the match, however, in 25 minutes, turned it on and won the game. The Eagles booted seven goals to one in the first quarter and at half time, despite not scoring in the second term, still led by 28 points. At three quarter time, the visitors

maintained their lead, although it had been chopped to just 19 points. The last quarter was one way traffic – all Frankston YCW’s way. The home team booted five goals to one point in the last term and recorded a 13.15–93 to 11.9–75 win. The reality was that the Eagles booted just four goals to YCW’s 12 after quarter time. David Bodley finished the afternoon with five goals for the winners, while Kyle Hutchison, Byron Barry and Anthony Barry dominated. Timmy Mannix and Mark Mullins were fantastic contributors for the Eagles and Markham Johnson won the battle of the big fellas in the ruck. Edithvale will now play in the Elimination Final against Mornington this weekend. Mt Eliza was the big winner of the round, ending a disastrous season for Chelsea. The Redlegs finished the afternoon with 55 scoring shots to Chelsea’s 14, winning 31.24–210 to 9.5–59. Sam Wettenhaall finished the afternoon with seven goals for the Redlegs, while Josh Norman and Scott Lockwood booted four each. Mt Eliza had 12 goal kickers. Chelsea’s main contributor on the scoreboard was Joel Connelly with three goals, while Jessie O’Dell and

Rory Gregg were among the team’s best. Bonbeach completed the expected and beat Langwarrin, winning 12.17–89 to 7.10–52. The Sharks gave the Kangas a three goal head start before booting five of the next six goals. The margin was only two goals at three quarter time, before the Sharks booted six goals to two in the final term. Gary Carpenter played arguably his best game of the year for Bonbeach while Ricky Ferraro and Dylan Jones were also at the top of their games. Shane McDonald was the leading scorer on the ground with four goals, which was enough to ensure that he won the league goal kicking award. Luke Damon finished with three for the Kangas and Andrew Withers and Beau Muston picked up the major votes. At three quarter time on Saturday, Karingal looked to be on track to make a run for the finals. It led by 35 points and all it needed was a big last quarter to achieve the 10 goal margin it was aiming for. However, Seaford came back in the final term, booted five goals to two points and got within a kick at the final siren. Karingal defender Luke Van Raay was the best player on the ground.

Tigers maul Bombers while Buds eliminate Panthers NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly THE long awaited battle between Sorrento and Dromana will take place this Saturday after the Tigers crushed Frankston Bombers by 77 points in the Nepean League Qualifying Final. While in Sunday’s Elimination Final played at Hastings, Rosebud knocked Pearcedale out of the finals’ race with a 22-point win. In Saturday’s match Dromana dominated Frankston Bombers from the opening bounce however, according to coach Gavin Artico, he didn’t believe his side played its best football. Even if it was considered a “par” performance from the coach, the win still netted 12 goal kickers and 34 scoring shots to 17 in favor of Dromana. The game certainly didn’t reach any great heights in terms of a contest however, there were flashes of brilliance from both sides. A couple of spearing tackles from Dromana’s Sam Guerts and skipper Rikki Johnston were highlights of the match and typified the difference between the sides. Frankston Bombers kicked goals in only two quarters of football, booting four in each of the second and final quarters with the aid of the wind. Dromana on the other hand was consistent, as you would expect,

booting four, five, five and six goals across the four quarters. Artico said he believed the game lacked the spark of a final. “Look, it was a good day at the office and I am rapt that we came away with the win,” Artico said. “Even more pleasing was that we got through the game unscathed and Christian Ongarello is up and ready to take on Sorrento this weekend. We’ll have an absolute full list to choose from.” Artico said that he was surprised with the lack of intensity in the game early. “We certainly didn’t come out and play the brand of footy that I was looking for early and I thought Frankston was a bit flat too. There wasn’t that finals tempo,” Artico said. “Our second half was much better than our first half and I was really pleased to see our guys doing the hard things right to the final siren. “We probably wasted a lot of opportuntiies in front of goal, especially with the wind; however, I was pleased with our workrate against the wind.” “It was a solid peformance and one that we can build on for our hit out against Sorrento.” Paul Minchington was one of the best players on the ground, finishing with four goals for the Tigers, while Toby Banks booted three. Michael Hunter played a dominat-

ing game in the back half, despite being dragged deep defensively, and Toby Banks was a stand out. “Micky Hunter was no doubt our best player and he just ran and rebounded all afternoon for us,” Artico said. “Toby (Banks) is really playing the kind of footy that we expect from him consistently and he was great in the win, along with Jay Neratzoglou and Stuart Cleeve. I also thought Luke O’Neil gave us plenty playing in the last line when we were kicking against the breeze,” Artico said. While Frankston Bombers coach Duncan Proud was disappointed to lose, he believed his team performed pretty well. “There was certainly no reason to get upset or angry with the players after the match because I thought generally, we played pretty well,” Proud said. “I just thought we could have used the footy a lot better going forward, rather than sitting it on Zac (Longham) and Scotty’s (Foster) head all day. “We ran the ball pretty well but just weren’t smart kicking the ball inside our attacking zone,” Proud said. The Bombers went into the game without Sam Drake, although he will be available this weekend. “We certainly missed Sam because he has beaten all of his opponents

this season, however, we’ve got some depth in our defence and I thought it held up pretty well,” Proud said. Jay Page, Matt Harris and Brian O’Carroll were the outstanding players for the Bombers while Haydn Moore was very good in the ruck. The loss did come at a cost for the Bombers, however, with Jason Bedford hurting his shoulder and coming from the ground in the last quarter. Proud said X-Rays revealed no damage to Bedford but he did concede that he could be doubtful for this weekend’s match. Rosebud coach Nick Jewell was able to help guide his side to its first finals win since it won the flag in 2007. Rosebud has lost the past three Elimination Finals and while Sunday’s performance wasn’t spectacular, a win is a win in a do-or-die final. The Buds led Pearcedale by 12 points at quarter time, by seven points at half time and 21 points at three quarter time before recording the 14.8–92 to 10.10–70 victory. Ben Shultz finished with three goals for the Buds while they also got great service from Tom Baker, as well as Ryan Spooner, Matt Payne and Lachy Armstrong, all of whom kicked two goals. Dylan Hoare booted three for the Panthers, while Pat Heijden was restricted to just one goal.

After the match, Jewell said while the win wasn’t pretty, he’ll take it over a loss. “We made some really silly mistakes, which cost us goals and we’re going to have to tidy that up before next week against the Bombers.” Jewell said it was his players run that won them the game. “When we played them the first time, we were only up by ten points at half time but really outran them in the second half. “I thought the way the game was poised that we could do the same thing again, which we did. “We ran hard both ways and really ensured that the opposition forwards had plenty of Rosebud numbers to deal with.” Jewell said his players’ mindset shifted very quickly to Frankston Bombers straight after the game. “I know we beat them by 40 points two weeks ago but they had five or six players out and really had nothing to play for. This week will be much different. “We all went out for dinner together after the match and we’ll do recovery on Monday night at the surf club, as we have done all season. “There’s going to be some cracking finals this weekend and I’m glad we’re still part of it all,” Jewell said.

All you need for the man cave AS their name suggests, One Stop Bar Shop has it all when it comes to men. Having moved to a bigger location in October last year, they now have an even bigger range. They have home brew, spirit and wine making supplies, including Monin syrups. They not only stock entire bars, but everything that goes along with them such as glasses for beer, spirits and cocktails. Games are a specialty with darts and dart boards, poker tables and pool tables and accessories, as well as puzzles. Licensed merchandise includes AFL, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam products.

“We’ve just got so much,” said manager Simon. “It is basically a man’s shop with everything you could need for the man cave.” “A great hobby that is cheap to get into is home brew, with the cost to get started just $99. Not only is it cheap to get started, but it is highly rewarding. Another line we’ve got into is cheesemaking kits, if that is more your flavour.” One Stop Bar Shop holds home brew days a couple of times a year where people can get together, share notes and do some tasting. With Father’s Day around the corner, there is no better time to give One Stop Bar Shop a visit.

From little things, big things grow LITTLE did Anthony Taylor know what a big business Direct Hospitality Supplies would become when he started it over 20 years ago. There was no spacious showroom back then. Indeed, Anthony ran the business from out of the back of his truck for many years before even establishing a showroom. After tading for many years on the corner of Racecourse Road and Mornington–Tyabb Road, they have now moved to a larger premises on Barclay Street. “It has been a great move for us,” said Anthony. “We shared the old showroom with One Stop Bar Shop. Now the businesses have split into two locations and are both going from strength to strength.” The main focus of the business is to service the restaurant and commercial market, but the good news for budding chefs is that it is also open to the public. “We basically have everything you need for restaurants, catering and for those dedicated

home cooks and entertainers,” said Anthony. “We are the only stockists of the commercial range of Maxwell Williams on the peninsula. That is a great line to have as it has a five year chip resistence warranty on all of its round plate range.” Direct Hospitality Supplies stock all sorts of commercial electrical brands, including Kitchenaid. They are the only stockists of the commercial range of Kitchenaid products on the peninsula. “We want people to come in and see what we have,” said Anthony. “And if we haven’t got what you need, we can usually get it.” Direct Hospitality Supplies is a success story. A business that has grown from the back of truck to a thriving showroom. At heart though it is still a family business, and treats its customers that way. Come in and see for yourself. Direct Hospitality Supplies is at 71 Barkly Street, Mornington. Phone (03) 5977 2020.

A site for diamonds ANTHONY Hansen sees his Diamond Coco business as being more of a wholesaler than retailer, although his jewellery is sold across the counter as well as on the internet. Based upstairs in Main St, Mornington, Mr Hansen stresses that “it’s not like walking into a standard retail store”, but emphasises that he “wants to find what’s right for the customer”. Rings for all occasions and diamond earrings are Diamond Coco’s main stock in trade and a visit to the website (www.diamondcoco.com.au) provides a good idea of what is available. Spending a bit of time on the website can also provide an education in diamonds. Weight, colour, clarity, cut grade, polish, symmetry, length and width ratios, inclusions, depth and table percentage are all terms likely to be used by diamond merchants. Mr Hansen says his business model – including buying diamonds direct from the world’s leading diamond cutters – means his prices can be up to 70 per cent less than buying a similar item from a jewellery shop. “We’ll charge about $5000 for a one-carat diamond ring that sells for $14,000 in a retail shop,” Mr Hansen says. “I want to make sure everyone walks out of here with the best that they can afford.” Mr Hansen says he is one of

22 members of the New York Diamond Exchange in Australia, which means he can buy “direct from the manufacturer, or polisher”. “The setting side is what we do; jewellers are not manufacturers of diamonds.” While Diamond Coco has more than 1000 ring designs, for men and women and covering many special events, they can also be custom made. “Women often come in with firm ideas of what they want, but often walk out with a different size or shape once they’ve seen what we have to offer,” Mr Hansen says. One of the tips he gives to customers is that two diamonds of the same weight (carat) can appear different to the eye – “round looks bigger than square”. “Shops try to market diamonds by name, but a diamond is a diamond. It makes no dif-

ference where it is mined. “The only exception is the Australian pink Argyle diamonds, which are frightfully expensive. “Colour is intrinsic to most people, but I deal only in the white spectrum, diamonds with no yellow in them.” Mr Hansen said halogen lights can make diamonds appear “white and sparkly – lighting plays a huge role in how products are presented. “I’ve never had bad feedback about one of our diamonds. “I start the process [of talking with customers] with the diamond as a discussion point. “Diamonds are an emotional purchase and it’s only when they can understand how the pricing works that they can make a good decision.” Visit www.diamondcoco. com.au or see Anthony Hansen at Suite 6, 38A Main St, Mornington, phone 1300 230 430.

The Wugubank friendship will continue By Vivienne Wearne – Principal IT is with absolute pride, along with the 10 adults who accompanied Year 5 & 6 to Wugularr and surrounds, that I commend the students on the wonderful way they embraced the opportunity to learn and be with their friends from Wugularr with such openness and friendship. A most remarkable experience, to witness the interactions of the Wugubank Mob and learn from their very rich Aboriginal culture was an absolute gift that was so warmly bestowed upon us by the Wugularr Community. Beginning with three days at the school, our time was spent practicing for and participating in Walking with Spirits, their cultural celebration, playing games, especially footy, visiting Ngarbi (Top Yard), a spiritual place where no other white children have ever been taken, exploring the Nitmilik – Katherine Gorge (Rainbow Serpent country), and finally Litchfield National Park. We also learnt about the importance of Sorry time, as there was a funeral held in the community during our stay. This is the second time our students have visited the Wugularr Community. No words can really describe what we all felt and learnt during this time. Within an environment so diverse in every way from our own, it was simply a most powerful time of learning, sharing, giving and receiving through friendship and respect. If there is anything that we all learnt so well, it is the ability to genuinely

Troy Cochrane, David Quin, Toni Hutton, Matt Chambers and Chris Dinnage; Parents: Vanessa Gabriel, Andrew Weber and Louise Evenden, the Wugularr Principal, Stephen Hill and teachers, Wugularr Store Proprietors, Pete and Barb, and the Wugularr

Caring doctors are a definite health advantage AFTER Doctor Manish Bhasin migrated from the United Kingdom in 2008, he noticed a gap in the local medical industry. There were very few, if any, bulk-billing medical providers in the area. He set about establishing Advantage Medical, and hasn’t looked back. “We have been going for four years now and have practices in Crib Point, Tooradin, Baxter, Rosebud, and now Mt Eliza,” said Dr. Bhasin. “We have a very simple aim. To provide quality and affordable care to the local community in a family practice environment.” Advanatge Medical was a pioneer of bulk-billing in the area, often being the first bulk-billing practice to open. “We believe in supporting the community. Both the local community and the medical community,” said Dr. Bhasin. “I am a supervisor of new GP’s and we take medical students from Melbourne University. We believe in assisting with GP training.” Mt Eliza is the group’s newest practice, and has been joined by Dr West (pictured) who has migrated with his family from the UK. “Dr West has settled locally and ads to the good mix of doctors we have,” said Dr Bhasin. “They are all very experienced. The doctors are very approachable and friendly. “The nurses and staff are very caring. Being a new clinic, they are happy to take new patients and looking forward to caring for them.” Come and visit Advantage Medical at 1297 Nepean Hwy, Mt Eliza, for your next medical appointment. You will not be disappointed!

Bringing back old-fashioned service PENINSULA Gas & Fuel is a family-owned and operated company distributing LP gas, Industrial and Beverage Gas cylinders to the Mornington Peninsula. Their core business area is domestic LP gas, including 45kg, 15kg and 9kg barbecue cylinders. They also act as agents on behalf of Supagas, distributing Beverage and Industrial gases to their customers on the Mornington Peninsula. They are kept busy year round with heating gas in the winter and barbecue gas during the summer. “We have a great service on 9kg gas bottles,” said company spokeswoman Nicole. “For just $25, we’ll come to you and do a bottle swap. It is quick and convenient, with next day and sometimes even same day delivery.” While they are at your place dropping of your gas bottle, they can also check your barbecue and hoses for leaks and wear and tear. It also saves people from carting gas cylinders in their vehicles to be swapped over or filled, as LP Gas is a dangerous product. Another major component of their business is a fully-equipped service station trading as Dick’s Friendly Service Station, located at their depot at 16 Colchester Road, Rosebud (Rosebud Industrial Estate). They have a wide range of products, including diesel, ULP, 98 Premium and Auto Gas, which is Pure Propane. Pure Propane is like buying 100 per cent premium for your vehicle: it gives you much better fuel consumption and keeps your car healthier – which most people notice during their services. “Our main purpose is to bring service back into the petrol station industry,” said Nicole. “For those who request it, we offer full driveway service including refilling their car, checking their tyres, and oil and water.” They also have a fully-equipped shop stocking oil and care care products, and are planning to open a cafe by the end of the year. Peninsula Gas & Fuel is a family business with the current owners having run it for six years. “We are very much part of the community,” said Nicole. “Not only do we live locally, but we employee locals and donate to many local organizations including sporting clubs and community organizations such as Rotary and Lions.” Visit Peninsula Gas & Fuel soon and rediscover old-fashioned service.

Mornington News 20 August 2013

AS part of the ROSEBUDDIES community campaign platform, Rosebud Plaza have made a commitment to continue to raise awareness for Seawinds Community Hub. The hub hosts a community lunch every Wednesday and the Rosebud Plaza have offered to help out when the hub is hosting a bigger than usual lunch. The next big event will be in recognition of White Balloom Day and will be held on Wednesday 4 September at Seawinds Community Hub. Rosebud Plaza Centre Management staff volunteer at the Hub to help out on the day. It is expected that 60 – 80 locals will attend for a two course meal prepared and cooked at the Hub. Ingredients will be donated by Rosebud Plaza Centre Management & retailers (Woolworths, Coles, Bakers Delight and cafes). As all the ingredients are donated, all of the $5 fee will go to Bravehearts. The lunch will be themed white. ‘White Balloon Day’, which is on Friday 6 September, coincides with National Child Protection Week 1 -7 September. The day is Bravehearts signature event held annually during Child Protection Week to raise awareness about child sexual assault and help empower survivors to break their silence. This year’s goal is to raise $500,000 to help make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child. One in five children will be sexually assaulted. You can easily help us reduce this alarming statistic by organising a white themed event at your school or workplace or simply tie a white balloon to your letterbox to show your support. Money raised will support education, preven-

tion and counselling programs for children who have been sexually assaulted. Bravehearts was founded by Hetty Johnston during Child Protection Week, September 1997. It is a registered charity whose members comprise survivors, parents, friends, partners, professionals and non-abusive members of the community who share in the belief that child sexual assault must stop. It aims to empower, educate and protect by providing healing and support, engendering child sexual assault prevention and protection strategies; advocating for understanding and promoting increased education and research. It operates in four states across the Eastern sea board with headquarters in Queensland and offices in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.

A cut above the rest STONE and Tile Centre in Mornington is a family-run business operated by husbandand-wife team Wendy Whitson and Alan Findlay, along with Wendy’s sons Matthew and David. They have been in Mornington for seven years, specialising in natural and manufactured stone and ceramic tiles. The showroom in Carbine Way, Mornington, is often a surprise to those who venture off the busy main roads to see the extensive range at Stone and Tile Centre.

“A lot of people comment on how great is our showroom and outdoor display,” Wendy said. “Being a little out of the way is good for us, because we have more room to display our products and parking is easy.” Stone and Tile stocks an assortment of natural stone for indoor and outdoor use. These include marble, sandstone, granite, bluestone and limestone. A stunning new product is silver travertine marble, available in large sizes and in French pattern. Cream travertine is also stocked.

Time to give your car a post-winter check NOW that the worst of the winter weather is over, bring your car in for a good check-up and make sure it is in good working order for the coming warmer months. According to the RACV website, the most common problem affecting motorists during warmer months is an overheating engine, but a few simple checks can reduce your risk of being stranded. The pre-summer checklist should include not only the radiator and cooling system, but also the electrical system, brakes and tyres, plus an overall “spring clean”. Cooling system TOP up your radiator coolant to the required level, taking care to add the correct amount of coolant mixture as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Check all radiator hoses (including heater hoses) for firmness, replace any that are spongy or leaking, and keep spares of the main hoses and belts in the boot for emergencies. The fan belt and any other drive belts, such as for air-conditioning or power steering, need to be inspected thoroughly – for fraying and correct tension – so they do not slip, and any belts that are even slightly frayed should be replaced. Electrical BATTERIES manufactured today are maintenance free but you should check the water levels and top them up if necessary. Use distilled water –

never use tap water as it will harm the battery. Routine maintenance should include removing any corrosion from the battery terminals, which can then be smeared with petroleum jelly to slow the corrosion process. An added

precaution is to wipe the high tension leads, spark plugs and distributor cap with a dry cloth. Tyres ALL tyres, including the spare, must be properly inflated to cope with the demands of long trips and hot

weather. Check the pressures when the tyres are cold. Recommended tyre pressures are printed on a sticker affixed to most cars. Tread depth should not be less than a match head, while many tyres now have tread wear indicators to

remove the guesswork. Uneven wearing of tyres may indicate a fault with the steering, suspension or wheel alignment, and these items should be checked if in doubt. Brakes CONSULT a brake specialist if the car has a tendency to pull to one side when braking, if the brake pedal goes too close to the floor or has any other symptoms that seem unusual. Check the hand brake as well – park the car on a hill, put it in neutral and, if it does not hold firm on the handbrake, have it checked and adjusted. Clean lights and windows CAR windows should always be kept clean, as dirty glass can drastically reduce the driver’s vision when heading towards oncoming headlights or a low sun. Dirt increases the effect of glare. Exterior dirt is easy to wash off, but it can be a constant battle to keep the inside of the glass free from the hazy film that builds up when a car is parked in the sun. The “haze” can usually be wiped off with a chamois, methylated spirits, or most domestic glass or general cleaners, but there is no magic formula to eliminate the problem altogether. For good visbllity, keep the windscreen washer bottle topped up, and clean all lights and lenses.
