Best prices & best service BEDSHED Mornington continues to offer great service and a huge variety of linen and accessories from their Mornington store and warehouse. Owner Alan Franks has been operating Bedshed Mornington with his son, Elton, for nine years now and says the business continues to offer the best service in the area. “With our warehouses in Mornington with our own stock, often if someone orders a product they can have it the same day, if not the same week,” said Alan. “This is very different from most bedding stores where it can take six weeks or longer to have a bedroom suite delivered.” Alan says that 90 per cent of the time they have the stock and can deliver it same day or within a few days. “All our deliveries are our own people so we don’t rely on subcontractors. That way we know the products will be delivered in one piece and properly handled.” Alan says that assembly is one of the many services that Bedshed offer for a reasonable fee. “We are a family owned and run business that

is part of the Australia wide franchise. Our products are the highest quality, and we are hands on, offering better service than other bedroom retailers on the peninsula.” Call in to Bedshed Mornington and check out the new recycled and reclaimed timber bedroom suites that have just arrived. “We have bedroom suites set up with our beautiful linen and accessories so you can see just how lovely your bedroom can look,” said Alan. Being peninsula based, Bedshed Mornington understands that a lot of people may have holiday homes and live in Melbourne and vice versa. For this reason, they offer a weekly delivery service to the city for those who want to purchase while visiting the peninsula. Check out the range at www.bedshed.com.au Bedshed Mornington is at Peninsula Homemaker Centre. Phone 5973 6333.

Good Guys really are good guys LOCAL electrical retailer, The Good Guys Mornington, believes contributing to the local community is an integral part of doing business. Store Proprietor, Tony Coco, is committed to supporting the community where his customers and employees work and live and says that giving back is a central part of being a Good Guy. “There are some terrific organisations in Mornington who work tirelessly to support our community,” said Tony. “The team and I are really proud to get behind our partners to help them continue the great work they do.” Since the store opened, The Good Guys Mornington’s Local Giving Program has raised more than $8,000 in donations, delivered to local community partners including CFA Mornington, Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia, and more recently to new local partner, Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach. “The work that the Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach do for our community here is really important,” said Tony. “They provide an essential service for the safety of our locals – which is a good thing.” Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach has been supporting the local community since 1961, with an aim to promote safety in the operation of small crafts. They do so in the most effective way, by providing education, example, examination, and through search and rescue. The Good Guys Mornington provides funding to assist the organisation with their ongoing operations. The Good Guys Local Giving Program is run in partnership with The Good Guys Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation which will see a percentage from every transaction made in store or online donated to local community organisations. Good Guys is at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre. Phone 5976 0200.

Shops lose out to fake $50 notes Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FRAUDSTERS are circulating fake $50 notes throughout Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. By Friday afternoon, police had uncovered around 20 counterfeit notes at a range of businesses, including a supermarket, takeaway food store, bakery and a Salvos store. Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Mornington crime investigation unit, said a woman in her 30s had been interviewed but, as yet, no charges had been laid. He said a man who allegedly accompanied the woman on “shopping sprees” was still being sought. It is believed more than one group of counterfeiters are behind the scheme, and that the $50 notes have a range of serial numbers. They have been used to buy items of small value in Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings and Frankston over the past few weeks. In one instance, the fraudsters were so keen to launder their stash that they bought a pizza in a Mornington restaurant, “paid” for it and then left without eating it. “They are after the change from cashing in the notes,” Detective Vallas said. Federal police are advising their local counterparts on what to look for when handling suspected counterfeits. The notes vary in size and are a few millimetres longer or shorter than genuine notes, they crinkle more easily, the stars in the clear window areas differ in number, and feel “like they are stuck on rather than being part of the note”. There is no good news for those who have been duped, either. Detective Vallas said any fake $50s found should be put into an envelope with the date, time and place of finding marked, and then handed in to police. “An innocent victim may be tempted to pass one on [so they don’t get lumbered with a fake] but they are legally required to hand it in,” Detective Vallas said. “Commonwealth legislation provides for substantial penalties – including a $10,000 fine and two years’ jail, or both – for those who design, make, print or distribute counterfeit notes,” he said. “You can’t simply take one to a bank and expect them to refund you a genuine note.” Those with information on the counterfeits should call Crime Stoppers on 19800 333 000.

Solariums top list in cancer fight: doctor

Mt Eliza a killer town, stats reveal

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DETECTING on average one melanoma each business day on patients from the Mornington Peninsula alone has made Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre one of the busiest clinics in Australia. But it’s an achievement that leaves Dr Sally Shaw cold. “A large number of baby boomers have grown up tanning at the beach or in solariums in their youth and are now presenting with skin cancers,” she said. “And we are seeing many young people presenting with basal cell cancers on their faces.” Melanoma is the most dangerous of all skin cancers, killing around 1500 Australians each year. It is the fourth most common cancer in men and women. Melanoma is also the most common cancer in young people aged 14–39. With the skin cancer centre on track to find more than 250 melanomas this year, Dr Shaw is blaming more than one cause. “Research shows that using solariums before the age of 35 boosts the risk of melanoma by 59 per cent,” she said. “It has been estimated that each year in Australia, 281 melanomas, 43 melanoma-related deaths, and 2572 squamous cell carcinomas are attributable to solarium use - at a cost to the health system of around $3 million.” Solariums’ high-pressure sunlamps emit doses of UVA as much as 12 times that of the sun, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation’s web-

Check up: Dr Sally Shaw treats a patient. Picture: Yanni

site. Not surprisingly, those who use solariums are 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma, and 1.5 times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma. According to the foundation’s research, first exposure to tanning beds in youth increases melanoma risk by 75 per cent. Dr Shaw admits to being “extremely frustrated” at the Tasmanian government’s decision not to ban solariums by the end of the year. She hopes this will “not be a precedent for all the other states that have agreed to ban

solariums”. “UVB in a solariums is much higher than UBB rays from the sun,” she said. “It causes the most common form of basal cancer cell – a small scab on the nose or cheek which we cut out as they could lead to melanoma.” Dr Shaw said Australia had ten times the melanoma rate of Europe. “There’s something in our genetic make-up that’s triggered by the sun and which is affected by the depleted ozone layer.” Melbourne males have a 1:25 risk of contracting melanoma and women 1.30 risk. “There’s an idea that a tan is

healthy,” she said. “But in most people what you see are actually burned skin cells.” The state government announced three years ago that solariums and tanning salons would be banned as on 1 January 2015. Their numbers have dropped 62 per cent in that time. (Dr Shaw is a founding member of the Australasian College of Skin Cancer Medicine. She holds a Diploma in Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery and was instrumental in establishing standards for skin cancer practitioners throughout Australia.)

MT Eliza, Rye and Somerville are the homicide capitals of the peninsula, police statistics reveal. An analysis of crime data shows there were six homicides committed in both Rye and Somerville over the past four years, while five were recorded in Mt Eliza. The only other peninsula town to record more than two homicides since 2012 was Dromana, where three people were killed. Frankston, with a far higher population, recorded 10 homicides over the period, far lower than neighbouring Dandenong, where 18 people were killed. On a per capita basis, Rye had by far the highest homicide rate on the peninsula, closely followed by Somerville. Surprisingly, there were no homicides recorded in Mornington during the period, despite it being the peninsula’s biggest town and the scene of a large number of violent assaults, mostly connected to the large number of late night drinking establishments. Homicide includes not only murder, but also manslaughter and culpable driving. The statistics emerged following the recent arrest of a 23-year-old man over the murder of a 72-year-old grandfather in Rye last year. John Woodruff appeared in court late last month charged with the murder of Barry Gray at his home in Rye during an alleged bungled burglary. Chris Brennan

Jobs â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crisisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worsens Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au EMPLOYMENT conditions on the Mornington Peninsula continue to deteriorate, with the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobless rate now among the worst in the country. Official jobs data shows unemployment on the peninsula has more than doubled over the past four years, hitting 7.9 per cent in September compared to a state average of 6.4 per cent. The peninsula was among the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best performing regions in 2010 in terms of the availability of work, with an unemployment rate of just 3.4 per cent. However, the region has been particularly hard hit by deteriorating economic conditions in the wake of the global financial crisis, while longterm structural changes have seen a sharp contraction in the availability of manufacturing and low and semi-skilled job opportunities. For young people on the peninsula, the situation in even worse, with unemployment for youth at around 14 per cent. ALP candidate for Nepean Carolyn Gleixner described the current level of youth unemployment on the Mornington Peninsula as â&#x20AC;&#x153;appallingâ&#x20AC;?. She laid the blame for the lack of job opportunities for young people on â&#x20AC;&#x153;20 years of neglect and complacency under state and federal Liberal MPsâ&#x20AC;? and called on Nepean MP Martin Dixon to explain the deterioration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to challenge Martin Dixon to explain why the youth unemployment figure under his watch on the southern peninsula has now reached 12.8 per cent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the highest it has ever been in 15 years, and more than double Victoria's jobless rate of 5.9 per cent at the height of the global financial crisis in June 2009,â&#x20AC;? Ms Gleixner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This appalling youth unemployment figure translates into very real financial and emotional

impacts on local young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and their families. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a matter of no money. Unemployment can cause tension and stress in families, depression, social isolation, and even lead to violence in the home and substance abuse.â&#x20AC;? Ms Gleixner criticised the Coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education funding cuts, which she said would damage the long-term prospects of young job seekers, and condemned the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;punitiveâ&#x20AC;? approach to the young unemployed people, which would further erode their self-esteem and lead to further social isolation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost every Liberal policy related to young people on the peninsula, from work for the dole projects instead of proper job creation, massive budget cuts to education and school to work transition programs, increased university expenses and the threat of six months with no income under Newstart, combined with high rents and a next to useless public transport system when it comes to getting to a job, is compounding and making the situation worse,â&#x20AC;? Ms Gleixner said. However, Mr Dixon defended the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record on jobs creation while slamming the policies put forward by the Labor Party, which he said would further undermine employment opportunities on the Mornington Peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two largest employment generating projects in our region for a generation, the Port of Hastings and the Point Nepean Development, both instigated by the Napthine government, are the very two projects that the ALP candidate supports destroying if elected,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dixon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the lip service of the ALP candidate for Nepean, the hypocrisy of the ALP in their half-hearted policy for job creation is breathtaking because tourism, the major employer on the Mornington Peninsula, is not even mentioned in their so called jobs policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ALP does not care at all about peninsula unemployment as their policies offer no solution to any of our local employment challenges into the future.â&#x20AC;?

Senatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art welcome Senator Peris two autographed prints for her children, Destiny and Jack. The visit was organised by Frankston law firm Maurice Blackburn, whose staff had presented Senator Peris with a gift from Baluk Arts to thank her for speaking at a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers function in Melbourne earlier that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really pleased that we helped arrange for Senator Peris to meet with members of our local indigenous community so that she could see some of the great work they are doing, and also hear of the issues and concerns that are most important to them,â&#x20AC;? Canda Glanville, principal of the law firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frankston office, said. The firm prides itself on having a long history of fighting for the rights of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the community, she said.

FORMER Olympic and Commonwealth Games medallist Nova Peris â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now Senator for the Northern Territory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; received a traditional welcome last week when she visited Baluk Arts. The Mornington Aboriginal Arts Centre is one of only two Aboriginal community art centres in Victoria. The not-for-profit organisation returns proceeds from the sale of artworks to the artists, helping them buy materials, equipment, studio space and support. Senator Peris met artists with works on display, including Tracy Roach, Ray Thomas, Bob Kelly and Lisa Waup, and children from the Bunjilwarra Koorie Alcohol and Drug Healing Service. Ms Roach designed her present - a scarf titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Ray Thomas, who won a 2013 Victorian Indigenous Art Award, gave

Mixed group: Members of Mornington churches and a Langwarrin-based mosque gathered to hear their respective leaders speak about peace and tolerance.

Peace cake fuels faith fest CHRISTIANS and Muslims have gathered in Mornington “to demonstrate harmony, respect and tolerance”. Members of the congregation of the ‘Bait-ul-Salam’ (House of Peace) mosque, Langwarrin, were at St Peter’s Anglican Church to hear their respective church leaders speak about how Islam and Christianity promote peace and tolerance in the society. Imam Syed Wadood Janud and Archdeacon Emeritus Philip Newman symbolically cut a cake emblazoned with the Ahmadiyya motto: Love for

All, Hatred for None. The meeting on Saturday 11 October was attended by more than 80 congregants from St Mark’s Uniting Church, Mornington Church of Christ, St Peters and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria, whose headquarters are at the Langwarrin mosque. Father Newman said he was “truly honoured and delighted” to host the visit by Ahmadiyya Muslims. “I believe that such visits will break the walls of misconceptions, misun-

derstandings and fears.” Imam Janud said members of the various church groups were “passing through some troubled times, where faith is either completely neglected or being misinterpreted for political gains”. He said the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community “preaches and practices the fundamental principle: that before discharging the rights of God, we must discharge the rights of fellow human beings”. Keith Platt

More simple approach taken to planning David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au COUNCILLORS have voted for a simple new way of bringing planning applications for developments on the Mornington Peninsula to council meetings. They will soon need only to tell the planning officer dealing with the application and the statutory planning manager by letter or email that the application is required to be discussed in open council. Previously, a complex process made it difficult to bring these matters to a council meeting. This complexity was to have been exacerbated recently by a staff proposal to put a 48-hour time limit on councillor action before an application could be advertised. This caused considerable consternation among some councillors as it effectively denied them time to talk to affected residents about the proposal and to put submissions on applications. The matter was brought to last Monday’s council meeting by Cr Graham Pittock, who stated in the background to the motion that the aim was to avoid delays created by the previous process. “Instead, a planning matter ... can now be brought at short notice directly to council by the ward councillor,” the background stated. Planning matters were previously dealt with in development assessment committee (DAC) meetings. Only three DACs have been held so far this year, with seven cancelled for lack of items to discuss. All development applications in the 70 per cent of the peninsula zoned green wedge were being dealt with by officers. DAC matters will be held in conjunction with

ordinary council meetings as necessary. More significantly, Special Purposes Committee meetings will be held only when councillors decide the matter to be discussed should be held at a separate meeting. SPCs have been used for confidential matters and doubts have been raised about whether every item discussed at them needed to be dealt with away from the public gaze. The shire chief executive officer will soon be required to specify the reasons for deciding which items should be confidential and advise councillors of his or her decision “and include such items on the agenda in the order most convenient to council and the community for the disposal of such confidential items”. This is a radical change and follows a recent admission by CEO Michael Kennedy that not all matters dealt with behind closed doors have been strictly confidential. Evidence of this was the slew of documents dealing with the SPA, previously listed as being confidential, that were released earlier this year. Other more general changes to meeting practices made at the 13 October council meeting require that no meeting or councillor briefing starts earlier than 5pm, creating more order for councillors and making it possible for nine-to-five working people a chance to run for council. Council meetings will start at 7pm. The changes also specify that community meetings – those held regularly in the six wards accompanied by a meal, at which ratepayers can meet councillors – will be held at least once in each ward each year, and that meetings will be suspended for a week of government-designated school holidays for the convenience of councillors and shire staff with school-age children.

More money if we’re-elected: MP THE Country Football and Netball program will be extended for another four years if the state government is re-elected, Mornington MP David Morris said last week. “Grassroots sport is at the heart of local communities. More than 110 projects have been funded through this program since the Coalition came to government in 2010, assisting clubs like South Mornington and Mt Martha junior football club to provide lighting facilities for players and umpires,” he said. At South Mornington, four light towers were erected on Oval 2 at Citation Reserve at a cost of $17,250; at Mt Martha, two light towers were erected on Oval 1 at Ferraro Recreation Reserve for $14,750. “By investing in better facilities, we can encourage more people to be more active more

often, and help local clubs go from strength to strength,” Mr Morris said. Minister for Sport and Recreation Damian Drum said the program provided benefits to cricket clubs and other sports groups at the venues, through ground and court upgrades, new and improved change facilities and social room improvements. “The Country Football and Netball Program is a crucial part of the Victorian Government’s plan to create a more active Victoria,” Mr Drum said. “We have prioritised female change and playing facilities, assisting women’s participation in sport to grow.” The Country Football and Netball program is a joint initiative of the state government, AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria.

Shire bid to give Pittock a vote CR GRAHAM Pittock may be able to vote on most of the proposed redevelopment of Rosebud and Wannaeue Place – but not on aspects of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, particularly if a gymnasium remains part of the project. Councillors voted 7-3 to write to the Local Government Minister Tim Bull seeking an exemption allowing Cr Pittock to vote on “the revitalisation of Rosebud” and the SPA, which will be built in Wannaeue Place. But his conflict of interest – he owns a squash centre/gym in Dromana – would prevent him from debating or voting on the gym planned to be part of the SPA. Cr Lynn Bowden, moving the motion, said the issue of conflict of interest “needs to seriously be reviewed”. Cr Pittock had been “disenfranchised from carrying out his duties for his ward” since the conflict charge was brought in mid-2012. (He was found guilty without conviction in August this year.) “Cr Pittock is being denied being able to be involved [in debating the SPA] because he has a gym all the way up in Dromana,” she said. “This council needs to seriously look at whether [the SPA] needs a gym or not ... how many gyms are

in this [Rosebud] area?” Cr Bowden said that if councillors voted against the motion they would be denying “not only the councillor but residents of Seawinds ward and the residents of the shire their democratic rights. “He is an elected representative and he is denied being able to totally fulfil his role and for us not to try and seek to redress this is absolutely abhorrent,” she said. Cr David Garnock pointed out that, were Cr Pittock to participate in SPA discussions where a decision was made to delete the gym, “there would be people in the public who would say that was because one person was able to add their vote to remove the gym from the technical design brief”. Cr Pittock said after the meeting he was well aware that he would not be able to vote on any matter involving the proposed SPA gym. Cr Tim Wood argued that the motion merely sought the minister’s ruling. “Someone has to drop the hanky, Madam Mayor,” he said. Cr Celi responded: “I don’t know what that means.” Voters for the motion were councillors Gibb, Bowden, Fraser, Rodgers, Wood, Colomb and Dixon. Against were councillors Garnock, Shaw and Celi.

Family affair: Josh, Kristy and Joel Brown at the opening night of The Nook and its â&#x20AC;&#x153;creative spacesâ&#x20AC;?, which they have built with their parents, Mark and Ruth, inside a factory in Progress St, Mornington.

Art makes inroads to industrial area Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A creative hub is being established in Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light industrial area. The opening last week of The Nook in Progress St is the latest of a series of non-traditional â&#x20AC;&#x153;light industriesâ&#x20AC;? to move into the area. The Mornington Brewery is just around the corner in Yuilles Rd while the Commonfolk Cafe is next door. The Nook â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cluster of six studios and an art exhibition space built inside a conventional factory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was created by Mark Brown and his family. Mr Brown, of Mt Martha, who runs Shop Metal Industries, said

he outgrew the factory and decided on using it for â&#x20AC;&#x153;creative spacesâ&#x20AC;? after discussing it with his graphic designer son, Josh. Shop Metal Industries moved across the road to larger premises while the Brown family set about building The Nook. Josh Brown said his father in 2012 provided studio space in the factory for him to run his design studio, Snake Hole Gallery, when he went freelance after working for surf companies Insight Clothing, Sydney, and Balin Surf Hardware, Rosebud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After moving in, dad and I had chatted about how great it would be to convert the entire warehouse into creative spaces if he were to ever

move out of the factory,â&#x20AC;? Josh brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure enough, dad eventually grew out of the space and was forced to move over the road. I turned up to the studio on the Monday and dad offered the entire warehouse space to myself, [carpenter brother] Joel and [graphic designer sister] Kristy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Naturally, we jumped at the opportunity and begin the preparing the business model immediately.â&#x20AC;? While there are some studio spaces yet to be filled, already operating out of The Nook are the Snake Hole Gallery; Keep Resin (hand crafted resin jewellery, home wares, artwork, lighting and planters); Mel Matthews (illustrator, artist, bird-lover, and

â&#x20AC;&#x153;bear enthusiastâ&#x20AC;?); and, Discover Me (website design). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nook is a creative hub; a community of artists, makers, creatives and everything associated,â&#x20AC;? Josh Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are passionate about contributing to the Mornington Peninsula art culture in a big way and hope to support local artists, while bringing in established artists from all over Australia to exhibit in the gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of spaces like ours in the Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs but, as for the peninsula, this is a very new thing and so far the response has been super positive.â&#x20AC;? Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development manager

Shane Murphy said the move by nonconventional businesses into light industrial areas â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not seen as a trend as yetâ&#x20AC;?. He said it would be advantageous for businesses to move there instead of Main St, Mornington, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because rents are lower, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the passing foot traffic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they would need to make it workâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are pros and cons and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it working in all of the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light industrial areas,â&#x20AC;? Mr Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some reason it does at Mornington, but would it work at Hastings or Dromana? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could become a trend, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still early days.â&#x20AC;?

THE Peninsula campus of Monash University has trialled program that saw business students working with Hastings traders and a public relations consultant to produce low cost marketing strategies. “This type of interaction between businesses and university students has enormous benefits for all concerned,” Dr Fiona Newton of the university’s marketing department said. Dr Newton said feedback from employers to the Business and Economics Faculty showed they wanted students to have “more applied and soft skills”. “We have established a business degree at the peninsula campus that specifically focuses on bridging the theory-application gap and providing students with opportunities to work with business from day one.” She said businesses were “giving their time to develop the next generation of business students and also leveraging an untapped source of assistance”. “It also highlights the fact that the peninsula has an innovative business degree program right on its doorstep that is implementing cutting edge pedagogy,” Dr Newton said. “Our students gain vital experience applying their theoretical knowledge to the types of business problems they will face when they graduate. At the same time, the local businesses receive valuable ideas and advice across a range of issues that they may be experiencing.” Dr Newton students had worked with the owners of Maple Threads Boutique and H C Shoes to develop a variety of strategies, including ways to entice people into the shops. “The students had to think about applying their understanding of consumer psychology to issues around merchandising, social media, and sales transactions,” she said. The students were mentored by marketing and communications consultant, Nicola Oldridge from Out of the Box Consulting, who helped

Bridging the generation gap to bring history to life Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au HISTORY is about more than famous events, places or buildings. Some of the most fascinating historical stories are those about everyday people and their lives. Seaford resident Bev Wilkinson is fascinated by the real-life tales told by older generations in Frankston and the Morington Peninsula and decided to capture their life experiences for future generations as part of her self-funded Celebrate Living History project. Older Australians’ life stories are documented on Ms Wilkinson’s Celebrate Living History website. The Griffith University journalism graduate married her passion for the project with her industry contacts to launch an internship program to give journalist students the opportunity to interview seniors and curate their life stories. “I contacted my former university lecturer on the Gold Coast and pitched the project as giving students the chance to learn interview skills while also learning about history,” Ms Wilkinson said. The lecturer, Professor Stephen Stockwell, could see merit in the idea and the Celebrate Living History project was born in 2009. Melbourne’s Swinburne University and its journalism students have also since joined the project.

“It’s great to give seniors who ordinarily may not have had an opportunity to tell their story the chance to shine,” Ms Wilkinson said. She admitted it was difficult to gain the trust of some interviewees who were “a bit suspicious” at first until Celebrate Living History “gained credibility” but Ms Wilkinson finds most seniors approached for interview are happy to talk. “Everyone’s story is important and it’s important for younger generations to know what life was like in the past.” Ms Wilkinson is now inviting high school students to contribute to the Celebrate Living History project. Frankston High School principal John Albiston was keen for the school’s Year 7 students to get involved. “Their enthusiasm is so raw and their contributions have totally blown me away,” Ms Wilkinson said. “When I’m editing their articles for the website I can’t believe they’re written by 11 and 12 year olds.” The students’ work will be included in a Celebrate Living History of Frankston exhibition at the Frankston Art Centre’s Cube 37 gallery later this month. Ms Wilkinson is always happy to speak to students wishing to contribute to the project, seniors who would like to be interviewed or corporate sponsors for the community-minded project. She reckoned she had spent “about

$8000”, excluding her time, on the Celebrate Living History project to date which is a part-time passion self-funded by her freelance journalism work and customer service jobs. “I really believe in this… if it was about money I would have given up a long time ago,” Ms Wilkinson said. “I love what I do, I love writing and any day I get a chance to do more with the project is a great day.” She thanked BAT Designs in Frankston for its in-kind support in designing the Celebrate Living History website and the Tax After Hours accountancy firm for its pro bono help with the paperwork required for a not-for-profit organisation. “More sponsors are always needed to make it sustainable,” she said.  The Celebrate Living History in Frankston exhibition will be held at Frankston Art Centre, Cube 37, 2737 Davey St, Frankston on Tuesday 21 October until Saturday 25 October. All welcome. Entry is by coin donation with all proceeds going to Celebrate Living History Australia which connects seniors and students to document stories. Morning tea will be provided on Wednesday 22 October at Cube 37 from 10am-12pm. Contact Celebrate Living History founder Bev Wilkinson at celebratelivinghistory@gmail.com or call 0402 926 131 for further details.

Calming presence: Frankston Hospital ICU volunteer Dorothea Wagner.

Volunteer shows intense care VOLUNTEER Dorothea Wagner is a calm and friendly presence in one of Frankston Hospital’s highest pressure wards – the intensive care unit. As one of six volunteers who meet, greet and assist the relatives of seriously ill ICU patients, it is Ms Wagner’s job to provide a calm face within often highly stressful situation. ICU nurse unit manager Sue Reaper said Ms Wagner and her colleagues had been carefully chosen for their skills and personalities. “They are perfect fits for a role that requires very special people,” Ms Reaper said. “They are a valued part of the ICU team providing support for both visitors and staff.” “They are more than a friendly face. They provide a calm and helpful service for the relatives of our patients who are often under a great deal of stress. Having stopped working full time, Ms Wagner said volunteering at the ICU was the “perfect role”.

“After stepping back from full time employment I wanted to do something worthwhile with my time and volunteering at Frankston Hospital was just what I was looking for,” she said. “I have always been in the caring profession but I had never thought about becoming a volunteer until someone suggested it. She said she thrived on the busy environment within the ICU, where every day was different. “As a volunteer I do bits and pieces such as providing assistance, giving out written information, helping in the waiting room and making visitors cups of tea,” Ms Wagner said. “I especially enjoy being there as support and help for the relatives of patients. It is very satisfying when I go home knowing I have helped,” Ms Wagner said. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer is urged to contact Community Participation on 9788 1536 or email CommunityParticipation@ phcn.vic.gov.au.

THE Greens have slammed the Coalition’s efforts to improve travel conditions on the Frankston line after candidates last week joined commuters on peak hour services to experience “severe overcrowding” first hand. Greens candidates across Melbourne last week boarded trains during the evening peak from Flinders Street station to their respective electorates to highlight the scale of overcrowding experienced daily by commuters. The candidates said it took well over 30 minutes on the Frankston line before a seat became available – more than half the journey time. Upper house candidate for the South Eastern Metropolitan Nina Springle said the experience demonstrated just how dire the situation had become for commuters. “The sad truth is that we’ve become desensitised to overcrowding, we think it’s normal and expected, but it shouldn’t be,” Ms Springle said. “But [overcrowding] honestly doesn’t come as a surprise. We’ve knocked on almost 8000 doors in the south east and the top issue that comes up is public transport.” Greens candidate for Frankston Jeanette Swain agreed the train system was in urgent need of upgrade. “This campaign really highlighted how frustrating travel after work can be, when all you really want to do is relax and take a breather,” Ms Swain said. “How can we adequately promote public transport as the best mode of transport when the experience mirrors a tin of sardines? It’s not fair to everyday commuters.

“The old parties are so out of touch with commuters, and it’s just not good enough.” Ms Springle said both the major parties were attempting to make commuters think that standing for half an hour or more on a train was ‘normal’ and rather than spending billions on projects such as the East West Link, the government should be investing in improving public transport infrastructure and improving those services. “With the balance of power, the Greens will push for improvements to our public transport system,” Ms Springle said. “We’ll push for more trains at busy times, extending peak hour frequency, and an increase in capacity and efficiency through fast-tracking investment in signalling. “We’ll also ensure plans to abolish level crossings are consistent with more efficient train services, running more services on weekends.” However, state member for Mordialloc Lorraine Wreford has defended the Coalition’s record in improving conditions for commuters on the Frankston line. Ms Wreford said “ten weekly morning peak train trips” had been added on the Frankston line since the Coalition assumed power in 2010 which had significantly eased overcrowding. “That’s an increase of 8.3 per cent,” Ms Wreford said. “More broadly, we’ve added 191 new Frankston Line services, which means there’s a train every 10 minutes, seven days a week. “Under Labor, 23.2 per cent of trains were overcrowded, and punctuality fell to 62.6 per cent. Now, less than 9 per cent of trains are overcrowded and more than 91.5 per cent are on time.”

Demographics

PETANQUE Victoria is hosting a “come try” day on the Mornington Peninsula, with exhibition games, demonstrations and free coaching for beginners at Mornington and Somers. A form of the popular French game boules, Petanque is played with small metal balls that are tossed as close as possible to marker-ball, or jack. The boules are hollow and fit in the palm of your hand, so there’s no heavy lifting involved. They’re also inexpensive, with a set of boules costing as little as $20. The rules of petanque are similar to lawn bowls and easy to learn, making the game suitable for all ages. Peninsula petanque clubs, have joined together to organise the exhibition day this Sunday to demonstrate the appeal of the game. There are clubs located at Mornington, Flinders, Red Hill, Portsea, Somers and St Andrews Beach. The exhibition and beginners sessions are on from 10am – 3.00pm on Sunday 26 October at Mornington Park (corner of the Esplanade and Schnapper Point Drive) and Somers Garden Square.

THOSE looking for population data, maps or statistics of the Mornington Peninsula will find an upcoming community information session interesting. It will be ideal for anyone wanting to learn more about the region’s demographics. The session will look at 2011 Census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. It will explore some of the key statistics related to the Mornington Peninsula, provide an overview of existing demographic resources available to the community and outline the best ways to find data online. The session will be held 2-4pm, Tuesday 11 November at the shire’s Rosebud Office, 90 Besgrove St. RSVP to Jade.Watson@mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1244.

Working bee THE next working bee for the Mt Martha Sunshine Reserve will be 9.30am- 12.30pm on Thursday 30 October. Those attending should meet at the Esplanade car park at the bottom of Hearn Rd and wear sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants and a hat. All welcome and no experience necessary.

REVOLUTIONARY NEW METHOD FOR CLEANING AIR CONDITIONERS/HEATERS New franchise owners, Hayden and Carolyn have traded in their ice cream business for clean healthy air, as the new owners of HydroKleen Peninsula & South East HYDROKLEEN Australia is a national franchise company dedicated to improving air quality though their award winning air conditioner cleaning services. They have developed a unique system which sanities and cleans all the nasty contaminations from both commercial and domestic style split system air conditioner/heaters, efficiently and cost effective. The result? Clean healthy air and reduced power bills. Most people are not aware that their split system air con/heater needs to be regularly cleaned, beyond cleaning the filters. It's difficult to comprehend the level of build up and contamination that exists - dirt, dust, mould, fungi, DNA and micro bacteria. For those homes with allergy suffers, children, elderly and the sick at home, it’s not a healthy environment. As well as commercial premises which have a high level of traffic passing through, are also at a high risk if they do not have a regular maintenance and cleaning schedule. Hayden states, "I was investigating ways of cleaning my own air conditioner and found HydroKleen. They ticked all of the boxes for what I was looking for in terms of cleaning, When l realised that no one actually offers this service in Victoria. I saw a great opportunity to provide businesses and home owners with clean healthy air and at the same time extend the life of the unit also provide a massive saving as much as 30% annually on their power bill" Hayden knows and loves the peninsula as he has been a local for over 40 years, and has owned businesses in the area. Working together with his partner Carolyn, they are now very excited to offer a comprehensive, unique and innovative service to all locals & businesses, so they too can see the multiple benefits of Hydrokleen for themselves. Hydrokleen Australia are the only split system air con/heater cleaning specialists in Australia to be approved “exclusively” by the National Asthma Council of Australia to clean by their stringent standards. In addition, HydroKleen Australia is also “Green Biz” certified which allows them to promote environmentally friendly systems and products. For any further information you can contact Hayden Direct: 0421158103 or visit the web site www.hydrokleen.com.au Mornington News 21 October 2014

Braces bagged in both bays Beach volunteers out to protect ‘hoodies’

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro THE fishing really ramped it up this week, with both Port Phillip and Western Port firing and many anglers bagging a brace. For those that are yet to turn a reel don't despair, the season is young and the days are getting longer. This week the schools of fish moved quite quickly and the aim of anglers was to find ground with multiple schools of fish and burley up. Consistent burley was the key and smaller bait sizes were the go. I found strips of squid and whole small pilchards were the go. Snapper snatchers were effective, especially when sweetened with squid rings. Running sinker rigs with single and double 4/0 hooks accounted for most fish. James Rodgers of Unreel Fishing charters has been getting among the snapper off Cowes, sweep in Bass Strait and squid from the north end of Western Port. Anglers hitting Cat Bay have been getting a few snapper and squid, while Lysarghts, Eagle Rock and Cowes are producing snapper. Port Phillip this week has seen some great catches. For the best results fish from 19m in front of Mt Martha and gradually move it shallower till you get 6m off Williamstown. For those land locked and in search of the red fish all land based structures from Mt Martha Rocks to Kerford Rd pier are worth a crack. Fish at times of low light and be patient. After a strong change and on a rising barometer are prime times.

VOLUNTEERS are gearing up to protect hooded plovers nesting on the Mornington Peninsula’s beaches. The hooded plover is regarded as Australia’s most threatened beachnesting bird and last year just one chick was recorded as surviving on the peninsula. Parks Victoria Ranger Martin Downs described last year’s outcome as “particularly bad”, with just the one chick surviving from 59 nests which collectively had more than 150 eggs. Mr Downs dogs being roaming on beaches where they were not allowed had contributed to the high mortality rate. “People found with their dogs off lead often say that their dog is well behaved, but any dog is seen as a threat by these birds when they come very close to their nests,” he said. “They can accidentally crush the eggs and have been known to play with and kill the chicks. There are simply too many dogs passing by and frightening the birds off their nests, and this leads to the eggs cooking on the hot sand in summer.” Birdlife Australia held a workshop in Sorrento last month for new volunteers and now has 15 new “hoody recruits” on its books. Coasts and marine program manager with BirdLife Australia, Dr Grainne Maguire, says that half of the hooded plover breeding pairs had already started nesting on the peninsula back beaches. “Hooded plovers are masters of

camouflage and cleverly hide their eggs from known predators such as gulls, ravens and kestrels. But where humans are concerned it makes it very hard to know where the nests are located and to avoid disturbing them,” Dr Maguire said. Parks Victoria and BirdLife Australia are erecting signs and fencing around active nest and chick areas to show beachgoers which areas are vulnerable and need to be given plenty of space. Dr Maguire said people should not to walk outside of fenced tracks or over dune edges to the beach. “They should stay closer to the water’s edge so as not to disturb the birds and their nests.” For more information go to www. myhoodie.com.au or call Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

Community centre BENTON’S Square Community Centre in Mornington will receive $25,000 in funding from the state government to boost existing support and allow for 10 extra co-ordination hours. “The centre is in an area of growing demand for services and this additional funding and hours will enhance the terrific work it does,” Mornington MP David Morris said. “Around 35 neighbourhood houses across Victoria will benefit from an extra $2.9 million. The funding has gone to neighbourhood houses that have demonstrated a strong community need and capacity to deliver increased activities,” Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge said. Community houses open for less than 20 hours a week can apply for additional funding to expand their hours of operation and enhance their capacity to serve the community.

End of era as Bentons Square sold BENTONS Square shopping centre has been sold to Federation Centres, with the new owner taking over from this week. Federation Centres owns and manages about 70 shopping centres across Australia, including Mornington Central, Karingal Hub and The Gateway in Cranbourne.

We recently had in Mornington an important and inspiring family violence forum hosted by Victoria Police Commissioner Ken Lay, Luke Batty Foundation director Rosie Batty, Domestic Violence Victoria CEO Fiona McCormack and No to Violence CEO Rodney Vlaise (‘Time to embrace Rosie outlook’, The News 23/9/14. There was much discussion about the importance of educatiing young men, about finding ways of resolving difficult issues without resorting to violence or using abusive language and the importance of providing good role models in other men. How intensely frustrating it is therefore to have our prime minister [Tony Abbott] announce to Australia and the world that he intended to “shirt front” another world leader [Russia’s president Vladimir Putin]. For those unfamiliar with this footie term it means to “aggressively charge and knock an opponent to the ground”. Of course Mr Putin is accused of a dreadful act and needs to know that people think in the strongest terms but, in any sort of situation, whether in world politics or in our everyday lives, such aggressive behaviour as suggested by Mr Abbott is counter-productive. For fathers and grandfathers who are trying to teach their sons and grandsons respect for others it is hugely unhelpful for the leader of our country to speak in such an aggressive and abusive way. Locally, it is a very poor message to send to our young people. To the rest of the world it has made Australia look like some ill-educated backwater.

We should be seriously concerned about Mr Abbott’s articulacy and conflict resolution skills. His example of bully boy negotiation is a huge disappointment and has the potential to undermine the work being done here on the peninsula and elsewhere. Geoff Selby, Moorooduc

Wasted time Had the pro-foreshore [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors and their supporters compromised on the site of the proposed SPA [Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre], it would have been erected years ago, at much less cost and we'd all be enjoying the benefits now. I am not so sure that the supporters are in a majority, due to the fact that the propositions have never been put to the residents of the area. Now the foreshore will remain public land and free to be enjoyed by the residents and visitors. Bill Payne, Rosebud,

Stop development I am a visitor to Melbourne and Sorrento from New Zealand. I was more than surprised to see that a 99-year lease has been granted for the development of high-rise buildings in the Point Nepean National Park and its Quarantine Station precinct. To grant a 99-year lease, with permission for a development of this kind is to provide the chance to irreversibly change the environment and its surrounds. Taking the ferry ride from Sorrento to Queenscliff and return, and visualising a high rise complex near the Quarantine Station creates in my mind a truly out-of-character, some would say grotesque, sight. Even a low storey development

would be out of character for the surrounding national park. Once the park is degraded by commercial developments and operations it cannot be brought back. Coming from New Zealand we have recently had our Environment Minister Nick Smith turn down proposals for a monorail and tunnel to go through the Fiordland National Park. I urge [the state government] to take serious notice of the local and other people who have objected to this commercial proposal and reverse your decisions before it is too late and you lose a gem from your national parks. Robin Williams, Southland, New Zealand

Fear campaign There will be no subdivision of Pt Nepean. It is disappointing that Labor has begun a fear campaign regarding the fantastic proposal currently being negotiated for the Point Nepean [National Park] Quarantine Station precinct. [Environment] Minister [Ryan] Smith has specifically requested that the Minister for Planning [Matthew Guy] prohibit subdivision and I can confirm there will be no subdivision and no high rise development at Point Nepean under a Coalition government. Mr Smith will also invite the community to participate in a further consultation process once the lease has been signed and the proponents have prepared more detailed development plans. In addition, Labor’s suggestion that they will tear up the lease will destroy the prospects of over 400 local jobs. Labor needs to explain why it thinks that is a good thing. As I have stated before, the community can be assured that the lease negotiations and any development

of Point Nepean will be entirely consistent with the Quarantine Station Sustainable Use and Tourism Framework Plan as well as the Point Nepean Master Plan into which the local community has devoted years of work. These and all other relevant documents are available for download at www.depi.vic.gov.au/nepean and any concerned residents are welcome to pick up copies from my office. I fully support the preservation and protection of Point Nepean in accordance with these plans and the years of community consultation they represent. The real threat to Point Nepean and the peninsula is Labor’s policy to blast 25 million cubic metres of rock from the Heads which will destroy our beaches and forever change the southern peninsula for the worse. The Victorian National Parks Association and its cheer squad have been unfortunately silent on this issue and the devastation this will present to the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park. Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Walk to school Research released this week has revealed that children who live in rural and regional Victoria are more independent than children living in metropolitan areas. With childhood obesity on the rise, VicHealth commissioned this research to examine the role parents’ fears play in shaping children’s independence and physical activity. We surveyed over 2000 parents of children aged nine to 15 across Victoria. We learned that a range of factors influence parents’ decisions to let their child play and travel independently such as stranger danger, traffic hazards, and what family and other parents think. Boys were allowed

more freedom than girls, and children living in rural and regional Victoria were more independent than those living in metropolitan areas. Forty per cent of children in rural and regional Victoria travelled to school independently compared to 34 per cent of children in metropolitan areas. Importantly, we know that children who were able to play and travel without an adult, and those who walked or rode to school, were more likely to get the recommended one hour of physical activity every day. We know that all parents want the best for their children. Granting children independence to walk to and from school and explore their neighbourhood is a critical part of the solution to childhood obesity. October is VicHealth’s Walk to School month and is a great way to make physical activity a part of children’s daily lives. If your child’s school isn’t participating, you can register as an individual atwww. walktoschool.vic.gov.au, lace up and get walking. Jerril Rechter, CEO VicHealth

Bank thanked It is with congratulations and gratitude I write to acknowledge the incredible contribution of the Commonwealth Bank Mornington to the Very Special Kids Piggy Bank appeal. Commonwealth Bank Mornington raised $3288 for the appeal, a part of the $1,157,210 total raised by the Victorian community to help families caring for children with life-threatening conditions. The funding will help Very Special Kids support 184 families in the southern metropolitan region. Sister Margaret Noone, patron, Very Special Kids

WANT TO Get your spook on this Halloween?

St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pastoral Care Week from October 1925, 2014. Chaplains, pastoral care practitioners, educators and spiritual care providers around the world will share in this year’s theme, “Spiritual Well-Being”. Spiritual wellbeing is about our inner life and our relationship with the wider Pastoral Practitioner Cici with a patient world. Our spirituality can encompass our relationship to ourselves, family, our community and the nature that surrounds us. It can be enhanced by care that focuses on creating spaces that encourage reÀection and life review. True spiritual care supports and preserves the settings that nurture a person’s spirit and encourages an exploration of our identity, who am I? Our community, who are we? Our meaning and purpose, what are we doing here? We express our spirituality through beliefs, values, traditions, and practices. Pastoral Care engages others as fellow human beings, developing a relationship that is mutual in order to be present with a person as they explore their spiritual self. Supported by a person’s beliefs, religion or culture, quality Pastoral Care can offer a pathway to the sacred, whatever that may mean for the individual. Here at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital, during Pastoral Care Week, the question our Pastoral Practitioners are asking patients and caregivers is “What lifts your spirits?” What are the things, people, experiences and places that help to keep you centred and at peace? Who and what do you feel connected to in your community? What places and things are special to you? Pastoral Services form an integrated part of the holistic care we provide to our patients, families and caregivers. We seek to provide a service that promotes quality of life by enhancing the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing of those we encounter. It is important that we understand and connect with both the health and the illness experience, being with people, af¿rming their uniqueness as they explore and cultivate their spiritual wellbeing.

Navy gives the all clear after lock down ROUTINE checks of an able seaman’s living quarters last week revealed hazardous materials that caused HMAS Cerberus to be locked down. A 400-metre exclusion zone was set up around the 1517 hectare naval base on Thursday afternoon while the police bomb squad and arson detectives inspected the area where diesel fuel and fertiliser were found. Individual movements were monitored. Superintendent Neil Paterson, of Frankston CIU, reported that a 30-year-old seaman had been arrested, but, by 5pm, the situation was said to be “normal” and no charges were laid. It was “all quiet on the western front” once more. The materials were deemed not to be explosive. It was not known whether the seaman had tried to hide them. A source inside the Crib Point base, who asked not to be named, said “laziness” was the probable cause of the drama. “We have rules to follow about storing materials and they weren’t followed,” the source said. “No one understands why people break the rules. We have special storage areas for hazardous materials but people get lazy. Instead of putting things in their proper places they don’t bother. “It’s not excusable but it happens. It’s a breach of regulations.” The navy is expected to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident, including a review of the seaman’s social media postings and other recent behaviour. It is believed the sailor was being treated for a medical condition and is

quantities, the concern was that they were found together. About 6000 personnel train at HMAS Cerberus which has training and recreation facilities, two chapels, and small marina. Stephen Taylor

A hostile gallery as vote sees â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foreshoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pool go inland David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula councillors have voted to move the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre off the Rosebud foreshore, this time almost certainly for good. At a meeting on 13 October councillors David Gibb and Anne Shaw, both staunch foreshore site advocates, not only voted for the move but moved the motions to accomplish it. In doing so they showed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and voiced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a resolve to make a final, regretful, break from the proposal they had backed vigorously for so long. The council minutes and audio recording show this decision took 13Â˝ minutes and some 550 words, after a dozen or so years of fierce, bitter debate in council and among the community. The feeling in the council chamber was of relief among most councillors and a significant part of the crowded public gallery and shock and indignation among the ardent supporters of the foreshore site who crowded into the chamber with their protest banners. The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, demanded silence from the gallery several times as this group voiced its anger when the reality of what was

occurring sank in. As often is the case, the words that brought an end to the controversy were blandly bureaucratic. Cr Gibb moved that â&#x20AC;&#x153;...council resolves that council no longer requires coastal management consent for the proposed use and development of the Rosebud foreshore for the location of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre...â&#x20AC;? Cr Celi was to advise Environment Minister Ryan Smith and to ask him â&#x20AC;&#x153;to withdraw his consent to the proposed use of the Rosebud foreshore for the location of the aquatic centreâ&#x20AC;?. Cr Gibb told the meeting he regretted having to move the motion and, in doing so, he was seeking to find the â&#x20AC;&#x153;second prize for the communityâ&#x20AC;?. He believed the foreshore was a superior site, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but that is not the will of the council as it existsâ&#x20AC;?. In a â&#x20AC;&#x153;spirit of consensusâ&#x20AC;?, the motions to be passed â&#x20AC;&#x153;seek a way forwardâ&#x20AC;? regarding the pool complex, moving it to the shire-owned land in Wannaeue Place, he said. Speaking as seconder, Cr Hugh Fraser said the motion had provided a way to begin rejuvenating the Rosebud foreshore and the nearby retail area. It would expedite development of the SPA and the other proposed developments in Rosebud, he said. Cr Celi opposed asking for the minister to withdraw consent for the fore-

shore site and voted against the motion. She later wrote to the minister as directed. Cr Shaw spoke for the motion, first stating her preference for the foreshore site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, will SPA happen on the foreshore? No.â&#x20AC;? she said. She had been working on the project for 11Â˝ years â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very sorry that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not here already â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important that we have some clear steps forward that the whole of council support.â&#x20AC;? It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;time to see important things happen in Rosebudâ&#x20AC;?, Cr Shaw said, adding that she did not support municipal offices being built in Wannaeue Place. Cr David Garnock also supported the motion but criticised the way decisions were made in the absence of some councillors, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ram homeâ&#x20AC;? moving the SPA from the foreshore. (The complex had variously been voted on to the foreshore, then off it, then back on to it and was now off it again.) He conceded â&#x20AC;&#x153;that the deck chairs have been rearranged through normal and acceptable voting processesâ&#x20AC;?. Cr Gibb then moved the next motion, by which council formally placed the SPA at its new site and reaffirmed details of decisions made at meetings on 8 and 22 September, including that the project be expedited, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;a permanent, aesthetic and environmental solution to the Jetty Rd, Rosebud

Vote not the end of the Facebook fury COMMENT

By David Harrison ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OVER. But few contributors to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pro SPAâ&#x20AC;? Facebook site have accepted (accompanied by loud lamentations and simmering fury) councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision on 13 October to move the SPA complex off the Rosebud foreshore. Almost none appear resigned to the new reality â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet. Some are vowing to fight on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been a little flat since Monday night,â&#x20AC;? confessed one, relating how a gust of wind at the door smashed her late motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crystal vase on to the floor and she wept. This writer sympathises â&#x20AC;&#x201C; genuinely â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with that personal loss. And to the loss she feels at defeat after these past intense years. It was, said a visitor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sign youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not giving upâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will see an aquatic centre one day, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure,â&#x20AC;? said a friend in response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep up the fight,â&#x20AC;? said another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have things planned; just watch this space.â&#x20AC;? Soon after the council decision was known on Monday, the rage and disappointment were even hotter. Brian Birtles wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A councillor taunting and laughing at the pro-foreshore people at the council meeting is a disgrace! They must be sooooo proud! Peninsula people must take an extra good look at these oxygen thieves!!â&#x20AC;? He was referring to Cr Tim Rodgers, who was not taunting the gallery, in this writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certain knowledge: he was expressing his pleasure at the result of the meeting. He was saying that the rowdy protesters â&#x20AC;&#x153;are going to get their poolâ&#x20AC;?. And they are. But not on the foreshore. Are those who oppose the Ě&#x201D;Pro SPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group not entitled to their opinion? Apparently not, according to leading Ě&#x201D;Pro SPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; light Nicole Nicolle, who wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please be advised that this group is ONLY FOR SUPPORTERS OF SPA ON THE FORE-

SHORE to discuss openly in a positive way about the issues of this. In saying this I will be required to remove people who are seen to not agree with this.â&#x20AC;? A bit Stalinist, Nicole. But please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect those with arguments based soundly on facts to be cowed. The issue was effectively decided long before Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, by the state governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastal strategy, by the immutable fact of climate change and sea level movement, by the possibility of a Labor government come December (and by the previous one), by the obduracy of the very councillors you relied on to achieve the foreshore site. The facts are that much of the project delay emanated significantly from the shire itself, never providing the government with information it sought years ago, from the head-in-thesand stance taken by local MP Martin Dixon, and by your own wilful self-delusion. The foreshore, with its shifting sands, was never a smart site for such a massive project, never a smart site when it was there as open space (this point argued by the developers who subdivided the area into tiny blocks) for locals and visitors, never smart, with a child-friendly (free) beach just metres away. And, as Tim Rodgers said, you will get your pool. Will the water feel different because it is 100 metres inland from the site you wanted and now rage over â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like spoilt brats throwing a tanty in the supermarket near the lollies? Your case is incoherent, like your contributor who can do no better than respond with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrâ&#x20AC;?. Get up, dust yourselves down, get over it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was inevitable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and pitch in to see that the project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your pool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a success. Read very carefully what council is now offering Rosebud, the place you love. Turn all that energy positive. For heavensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sake, grow up and become part of it! You will be welcome.

foreshore precinctâ&#x20AC;?. Cr Tim Rodgers, supporting the motion, said it was one of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;proudest moments in councilâ&#x20AC;?. He had fought â&#x20AC;&#x153;vehementlyâ&#x20AC;? against the foreshore location since 2005, he said, sparking a storm of protest from the gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This saves the foreshore. We have a terrific plan to have the Rosebud foreshore invigorated,â&#x20AC;? he said after order was restored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been neglected for too many years. [Work on it] has been held up because of this farcical idea of a pool on the foreshore.â&#x20AC;? Amid more heated interjections from the gallery, Cr Rodgers went on: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people with the yellow signs [stating Ě&#x201D;We need our poolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;], well, they are going to get their pool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to win over the gallery here tonight, Madam Mayor, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave it at that, but I think this is a terrific â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a terrific â&#x20AC;&#x201C; way forward for Rosebud.â&#x20AC;? Cr Lynn Bowden, speaking after the gallery subsided, said that until council tackled its $37 million debt and maintained its buildings, collected rubbish from the streets, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and [repaired] the dirt roads that people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get down safely â&#x20AC;Ś I will not vote for a luxury item such as a poolâ&#x20AC;?. These sentiments infuriated the gallery once more, drawing from Cr Celi threats that she might adjourn the meeting or start issuing warnings to

the ringleaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Show a bit of respect for all the councillors around this table, whether you agree with them or not,â&#x20AC;? she said. Cr Bev Colomb told the meeting she had been frustrated at being called anti-pool when she had fought to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautiful township equipped with a poolâ&#x20AC;? off the foreshore. Extra workers in the heart of Rosebud would benefit traders and a revitalised foreshore would be a true enhancement for the area as well as attracting tourists, she said. Cr Celi, speaking against, described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a funny kind of notice of motion, where everyone is aware that the pool is already not going on the Rosebud foreshore â&#x20AC;Ś so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of me that does not support this motion whatsoeverâ&#x20AC;?. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the sake of a pool for Rosebudâ&#x20AC;? Cr Celi said she â&#x20AC;&#x153;would stand forâ&#x20AC;? the motion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;although I disagree entirely that it is not going on the Rosebud foreshore and that all hopes and aspirations for my community, our community, have been dashed and destroyedâ&#x20AC;?. Cr Shaw sympathised, but said council now had a clear responsibility to deliver. She would do her utmost to see that this occurred.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mordialloc tragedy evidence given Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE many friends of Mrs Maxwell, of Frankston, will regret to hear the death of her mother, which occurred at Geelong a few days ago *** AFTER a rather prolonged absence Mrs and Miss O’Grady have again taken up their residence in Frankston. *** THE Frankston Brass Band will play selections on Sunday afternoon near the pier, weather permitting. A collection will be taken up in aid of the hospital. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held in the Tyabb Hall on Monday evening next, for the purpose of making arrangements for holding the annual sports meeting at Tyabb. *** THE request for extra police protection at Frankston has been acceded to, and Constable Bill , from the City, has been stationed here for the summer months. *** THE members of All Saints Church, Tyabb, intend making an effort to clear off the debt existing on their church, on Friday and Saturday next, when they will hold an “All Nations” Fair, in the Hall. A good programme of amusement will be provided each evening, and the stalls will be wellstocked with a variety of fancy and other goods, which will be offered to the public at moderate prices. *** AMONGST the men in camp in the

4th Battalion of the New South Wales Imperial Force, is an old boy of the Frankston State school in the person of A. R. B Ferguson, who has been appointed a Corporal in C. Company. *** THE Monolyte Ltd., (reinforced concrete company) have purchased from Mrs L. Draper a portion of her stud area at Seaford, and intend opening up a sand pit and erecting tile works on the site. The Railway Department are putting in a siding to the sand pit. *** THIS evening (Saturday) a farewell social and presentation will be given to the soldiers leaving for the war from the Somerville district in the Fruitgrowers Hall. A charge of Is will be made for admission, which will go towards the Belgium Relief Fund. *** THE anniversary of the Somerville Methodist Church will be celebrated on Sunday and Monday next. On Sunday, the Rev. E. J. Watkin, D.D., will preach in the afternoon and evening. There will be special singing by the choir. At the afternoon service a golden offering will be taken up. On Monday evening the Rev. Dr Watkin will deliver his stirring and popular lecture on ‘Our Empire’ in the Mechanics Hall. As the lecturer has the reputation of being a fine speaker there will doubtless be large attendances at both services on Sunday and at the lecture on Monday. *** THE idea of each District School Inspector appointing a Treasurer to

receive Patriotic subscriptions from children throughout this particular district has been found to work admirably. An enthusiastic central meeting was held. Mr Armitage handed over £3 to commence the fund and the promise of a liberal monthly salary donation, and thus started the ball rolling, Teachers and children from little mountain schools, not to mention larger establishments, poured in voluntary subscriptions from salaries and other donations. So prompt and liberal was the response that in a few days Mr Edwards was able to report “£150 received”, this good work is still continuing. *** ON Saturday Mr John Leson of Cowes, while working at the Naval Base, met with a very nasty accident. The horse he was driving bolted, jamming him against a truck At first it was thought he was seriously injured, but upon being examined, it was found he had escaped any broken bones, but was badly bruised. We are pleased to relate that he was able to resume his duties in a couple of days. Mr J. Coshlan, a very old resident of this locality, escaped from what may have been a very serious accident. At the present time the Railway Department is busy relaying the line with heavier rails, and there are two or more gangs of men at work unloading the trucks. Mr J. Coshlan being at the end of a rail, by some unusual manner the rail slipped and he was thrown a distance in the air, coming down between two trucks.

It was a most miraculous escape. However the sufferer, who has our sympathy, after being examined by the doctor, was found to be badly bruised and his left leg smashed. *** The Mordialloc Tragedy. Evidence at the Coroner’s Inquest. THE circumstances surrounding the double tragedy which took place at Mordialloc on 10th October (says the Age) involving the death of Priscilla Henderson Warwick. 12 years of age, and Harold Leslie Matthewran, 25, both of 122 Park Street, South Yarra, were investigated on Tuesday at the City Morgue by the Coroner (Dr Cole). Frederick Henry John Matthewran, residing at South Melbourne said the deceased man was his brother. Witnesses last saw him alive in June. Deceased was born in London, but had spent many years in Seattle, U.S.A., whence he came to Melbourne in December, 1899. He was of a cheerful, disposition, did not drink to excess as far as witnesses knew, and had never threatened his own or anyone else’s life. The Coroner found that on the 10th October, Priscilla Henderson Warwick and Harold Leslie Matthewran were found dead at Mordialloc, death having resulted from gunshot wounds, and that these wounds had been wilfully and ferociously inflicted by Matthewran. There was not sufficient evidence to determine the state of his mind at the time. *** AT the Langwarrin North State

School, the erection of the shelter has been completed. As a more costly building has been provided than was first intended, the funds in hand were insufficient to meet the cost. A concert has been arranged to be held at the Recreation Hall on October 28th, at which some of the singing talent from Frankston and elsewhere will take part. This entertainment promises to be something really good, and patrons besides having a good evening’s entertainment will be helping to provide a necessary want at the State school. The above school was re-opened on Monday, October 19th, after being closed for a fortnight on account of measles being so prevalent amongst the scholars. ***. OWING to the dry season, the spring which supplies the water trough on the main road is dried up. As this is the source that supplies water to the campers and residents for the summer months it is rather a serious outlook for Dromana. A meeting will be held on Tuesday evening next to make arrangements for supplying the town with water. *** THE funeral of the late Colonel T. Bruce Hutton J.P, which was very largely attended, took place Thursday afternoon at Dandenong. Colonel Hutton had been a member of the Dandenong shire council for 30 years. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 24th October, 1914.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

I’ve been to Bali (part) two By Stuart McCullough THERE’S a sign around the corner from my father’s. By the side of the Mornington Tyabb Road in a loose, spray-painted script, the sign promises ‘stable manure’ for just a few dollars per bag. What is left unsaid is whether the manure has always been stable or has achieved this through a combination of clean living and therapy. Perhaps it’s best not to ask. To tell you the truth, I’d prefer not to know the going rate for a bag of ‘unstable manure’. This is because I have a substantial fear of the stuff and will do almost anything to avoid it. This makes our decision to holiday in Bali – home of the infamous Bali belly – even more perplexing. We were told there were two golden rules for any trip to the Indonesian holiday island. The first was ‘do not drink the water’. There is, so we were told, no quicker path to illness than to drink from the tap. We were advised to be cautious even when showering. The second rule was simple: don’t eat after midnight. Actually, on second thought, the second rule might not be so much from the travel guide as it is from the movie ‘Gremlins’. Still, it’s not a bad rule. As for the water, my sister in law pointed out that in trying to avoid drinking the water, we should avoid ice at all costs. Truth is, I dislike ice intensely. It is because of this deep-seated hatred that I cannot sit through an entire screening of the film ‘Frozen’. Although such enmity might seem totally il-

logical to most people, I can simply say that I grew up in the 1990s. The nineties weren’t just about flannel shirts and grunge millionaires whining about their parents – people often forget there was a dark side too. To this day, I carry the scars of Vanilla Ice’s deep-chilled slap to the head, ‘Ice, Ice Baby’. When you consider the kind of damage wreaked by that hideous

assault on the ears, it’s little wonder that I have a lasting fear of the stuff. So when my sister in law suggested I avoid it, I readily agreed. We have been in Ubud for all of three minutes when our hosts return with two glasses of ice tea. To be frank, if it were a competition between ‘ice’ and ‘tea’ for ultimate supremacy, the ice would have the tea pinned

to the mat, it’s limbs splayed like a chicken, and begging for mercy. I can hear it clinking against the glass as our beverages are set before us. Our hosts are smiling. Either I can insult them by sending it back, or I can risk unstable manure and the seven kinds of hell that gastroenteritis can bring. I don’t want to risk making a scene. I drink up and hope for the best. Luckily for us, neither my wife and I start melting like the Wicked Witch at the end of The Wizard of Oz. It seems like a small miracle. To endure ice, ice baby and survive feels like an act of defiance. Perhaps all that Vanilla Ice has built up my tolerance levels. Having flown six hours to get here and having travelled a further hour by road, we are both exhausted. We go to bed at an unreasonably early hour. It’s our first full day in Bali and the mission is simple: relax. It’s easier said than down. Truth is, I find it a little difficult to unwind. That’s because I grew up in the 1980s where, for about six months, a group of Liverpudlians who called themselves Frankie Goes to Hollywood urged the world to ‘Relax’. For me at least, it was a message that would fall on deaf ears. Just as Vanilla Ice would all but destroy the nineties, Frankie Goes to Hollywood pretty much ruined the eighties for me. Well, them and Haysi Fantayzee. But we weren’t about to leave something as important as ‘relaxation’ merely to chance. No sir. My wife had booked me a massage. This, she

assured me, would assist me to unwind. Let me be clear: I’ve had massages before. I don’t mind a little poking, prodding, kneading and knotting. But when the moment comes and I step into the specially segregated massage area, I feel I might be in trouble. It starts with the music. For anyone who might work in the massage industry, I think I speak for everyone when I say that the music you use is horrible. That floating, airy-fairy nothingness doesn’t take anyone’s mind off their troubles, it makes them wonder how they can get to the stereo without being noticed. Even Vanilla Ice and Frankie Goes to Hollywood would be a welcome relief. Then there’s the matter of my masseuse. He is exactly half my size. And bony. Over the next three hours he wedges his knuckles into every nook and cranny. I feel like he’s using me as a human Rubik’s cube. Suddenly, I realize that the music isn’t meant to make me feel clam; it’s meant to stifle the sound of my screaming. When I’m released, I feel like a Picasso painting, with various pieces of my anatomy having now been relocated. I attempt to scratch my ear only to find that it’s now midway down my lower back. In fact, I’m in so much agony that I must swallow my pride along with a fist full of paracetamol and ask for the one thing that I have sworn never to ask for: ice. It comes in a bag and I place it strategically across my various limbs, wherever I find them. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

FROM BERLIN TO CHELSEA HEIGHTS, BRITISH INDIA ARE BACK IN TOWN! When PEARL last caught up with British India lead singer and guitarist Declan Melia and the band were just beginning to work on songs for their next album. Fast forward six months and Melia along with band mates Matt O’Gorman, Will Drummond and Nic Wilson have just returned from Berlin, Germany where they recoded their new album, off which the first single will be released later this month with the album to follow next year. The Bayside boys are also returning to their old stomping ground to play a show at Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday 24 October. PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to Melia about British India’s new single and spring tour, which includes two shows supporting the Rolling Stones. PEARL: When we spoke back in March you were beginning to work on your new album and you said the recurring theme so far was airports and travel/ beginnings and endings. Is this still true or did it change as you continued to work on the album? MELIA: Yeah it bubbled to the top pretty strongly. I’d made a conscious decision to try and work on the lyrics for this album pretty quickly and not to self-edit too much. There’s two different processes for writing- one is to labour over it and one is to do it quite quickly, and when that happens you do end up with a lot of similar themes as you mentioned, and the theme of travel and distance especially is really rich. PEARL: What was it like recording in Berlin and what made you choose to record over there? MELIA: Berlin was an attractive aspect but we really wanted to work with this Australian producer who we’ve worked with before in Melbourne but he happened to be in Berlin. However right from when we got off the plane in Berlin, we kind of felt like British India where exactly

PAGE 52

Mornington News 21 October 2014

where they want to be and exactly where they need to be- a lot different from when we made the first record in Sydney. PEARL: What was the best thing about Berlin? Last time we spoke you said you and Matt like to go to gigs together- did you go out and catch many German bands? MELIA: Not German bands, we saw Parkway Corpse an American band that came through, but there’s really not much rock and roll, they’re all about electronic dance music over there which isn’t something we really get into so we didn’t go to so many gigs, but we did go out and soak up the culture. They love heavy metal so we went to a lot of heavy metal bars and listened to a lot of heavy metal records. We just lived in this house in a lovely suburb and at about midday we’d go down to the recording studio and work for a few hours, we’d have a lot of lunches, and everyone was hanging out and rocking the same headspace it was really quite peaceful. A really good recording experience. PEARL: What can you tell me about your first single, from the new album that’s being released in October? MELIA: It’s the most complex song on the record, it really was a departure for us from what we’d been writing, it started with a rift. It really wasn’t the kind of thing we’d done before. It was a matter of taking a song that wasn’t very British Indiary and making it British Indiary. It’s also got a bit more hope than I Can Make You Love Me. I think this record for us is a lot more complex; we’re a lot more complex whereas with Controller we were struggling with the old British India and the new British India. PEARL: Do you have a favourite track on the album? MELIA: The first single is my favourite track, there’s another song on it called Spidercords, which is the kind of song that the boys always wanted to write, but we didn’t

have the ability or the courage to go through with it. It’s very long and alternatively very heavy and very soft with a lot of screaming- it’s the most heavy song on the album. I used to do a lot of shouting when we were a punk band and I sung a bit more on our last album Controller but this particular song called for a move off the wind platform. It’s a really strange song and I’ll be interested to see what people think. PEARL: Are you excited for the upcoming tour supporting the Rolling Stones? How did you feel when Mick Jagger asked to hear more of British India’s music? MELIA: Surreal! It felt strange, but the thing about the Stones is that when we think of the Rolling Stones, what we think of is the live show that we’ll be doing, the massive touring juggernaut that they’ve become. It’s hard to connect that with those sixties records that we love so much. You have to remind yourself that; this is the band that did Satisfaction, they were the dark Beatles! They’re one of those bands that we can all agree are the greatest! PEARL: The four of you grew up Bayside and on the Peninsula, are you looking forward to playing to a home crowd at Chelsea Heights Hotel? MELIA: Chelsea and that area is where we are from, so the shows are always pretty special to us, and it’ll be a really good party vibe. We’re planning to do a few new songs and then it will just turn to the audience and whatever the audience wants to hear we’ll play. British India plays the Chelsea Heights Hotel, Cnr Springvale Rd and Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights on Friday October 24. For further details and tickets visit chelseaheightshotel.com.au.

Performance HACHETTE Australia has released the much publicised book SAS Insider by Robert Macklin with Clint Palmer. Palmer was an elite SAS fighter and he tells us the story on life in Australia’s toughest and most secretive combat unit. Clint Palmer has spent much of his adult life in the SAS and has fought in this elite military unit as it developed from its fledgling beginnings into the highly trained, specialised fighting force it is today. He is an insider with the long view and this is his unique story of life in the SAS. As a bush kid in the Northern Territory of Australia, growing up in a mining town, Palmer’s best friends were mostly Aboriginal kids, and the outside world barely existed. But he always had one driving ambition - the army. Enduring the toughest of tough training, Palmer soon demonstrated his fighting capabilities and became part of the Australian SAS. So began almost thirty years of service. We go with him to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he is at the heart of some of the worst fighting in ‘Operation Anaconda’ in the Shahi-Kot Valley in 2002. He lets us in on what it’s like to have made well over a thousand parachute jumps, many of them in terrible conditions and into treacherous terrain which may have ended not just his career but his life. And he shares with us how this adrenalin fuelled world has become a lifelong commitment. Palmer is the man who knows the Regiment almost better than anyone, so SAS Insider really is the inside story of the SAS - and a gripping account of one Australian soldier’s life at the sharp end. Robert Macklin is a well-known Australian biographer and historian with more than twenty books to his credit. His most recent books include One false move, Dark paradise and the bestselling SAS Sniper which he co-wrote with Rob Maylor. A gripping read and extraordinary insight to the mysterious world of the SAS, with its own codes, loyalties and treacheries. Published by Hachette Australia, RRP $35.00, E-Book RRP$19.99. www.hatchette.com.au

Over 500,000 Australians, including more than 160,000 people in Melbourne, have enjoyed the production since it opened on January 2 this year. Leading the all-star cast in the iconic roles of Danny and Sandy are much loved entertainer Rob Mills and rising star Gretel Scarlett. Bert Newton returns to his radio roots playing the role of veteran disc jockey Vince Fontaine, while

Todd McKenney stars as Teen Angel. Television and stage veteran Val Lehman returns to musical theatre to play Rydell High’s tough school principal Miss Lynch, while Lucy Maunder plays bad girl Rizzo, and Stephen Mahy is Kenickie. The role of heart throb rock star Johnny Casino will be played by John Paul Young. Tickets 1300 111 011. www.greaseistheword.com.au *** HUGH Jackman is pulling on the claws again for a new X-Men movie, his fourth X-Men: Apocalypse. X-Men: Days of Future Past became the most successful of the series when it was released earlier this year, making more than $800 worldwide. X-Men: Apocalypse will be set a decade after the last instalment, when the heroic team of

mutants find a new enemy. *** AN exciting new TV show for dog lovers will hit the screen on November 7th Channel 31. Yappy Hour TV. The show will feature street talk with dog owners in the streets and parks of Melbourne hearing their funny, unusual and sincere stories. Dog lovers can access the latest dog information including therapy, chiropractic, nutritional, veterinary and fashion news including celebrity dogs and dog training. Executive producer, Liz Robinson told The News “Basically everyone loves their dogs and dogs bring so much unconditional love and joy to so many people. Dogs are a part of our everyday life. We see them in all walks of life including police, customs, mental therapy, armed forces, assisting the blind and more importantly companionship. Yappy Hour TV will feature a variety of hosts including Lorinska Anderson, runner up Miss Universe for Australia and Tony Volton, comedian. Former disco DJ Darren Turner is the music arranger. On December 14th, Yappy Hour TV will be attending the big day out, family day out for Dogs of Victoria at KCC Park, Skye from 10am. Yappy Hour TV, Channel 31, Friday November 7th. www.yappyhourtv.com.au yappyhourtv/facebook *** ROBERT Downey Jr will star as Iron Man in Captain America 3. The 49 year old actor has portrayed the character in three movies and The Avengers (2012), and is under contract for Avengers: Age of Ultron and a third Avengers film. Captain America 3 will follow the Marvel Civil War storyline, which sees the implementation of the Superhuman Registration Act. The bill requires all people with superhuman powers to register and undergo training with the US government, and creates a divide in the superhero community. Iron Man leads the pro-registration movement alongside Mr Fantastic and Henry Pym, while Captain America, Luke Cage and Falcon are opposed.

*** DARLING Antonella Celi, as Mayor of the Mornington Peninsula Liberal stronghold I congratulate you on a very tricky job well done. We men love our girls running the place. Julia Gillard, Julie Bishop, Maggie at the coffee shop, Sue-ellen at Bakers Delight, Mrs Stewart in Grade 4 after the shelter shed incident. Antonella, ably assisted by Cr Timmy Rogers promises “extra security in Rye around the holiday period”. Ahh, but what does this mean Antonella and Timmy? Can it be those CCTV cameras promised/ forgotten, or the reality of one extra policeman from Somerville on New Year’s Eve for 5 hours? We hold our breath. *** THE big day. 29th November. The Victorian State election. Wayne Swann promised 500,000 jobs; Tony promised a million. Stateside Denny Napthine 200,000; Danny Andrews 100,000. We look back to the last state election and see none of their promises came to pass (Teddy back then), other than the pay rise to our police. Lots of plans, no action, a 6 kilometre road the highlight. Sadly they keep shoving these ideas in our faces, to the point where what we really believe is simply we do not believe. I always vote against rather than for regardless of the insignificance of my

vote. Obviously therefore, to me, the single most important factor is to say goodbye to Planning Minister Matthew Guy before Melbourne-centric becomes Jakarta. *** SPEAKING of viagra it transpires there are various useless fake medications being smuggled into this country; all sorts, including even dove soap and viagra tablets. Some time back in my dim and distant past I ordered some tablets on the internet; cheaper, in accord with the boy scouts motto. If darling Dolores and Cynthia and possibly even Elsie (she never said, just drifted away), all from Chelsea, are reading this kindly note - It was not my fault! Have the decency to forgive me. *** MICHAEL Leunig’s “Take one evil death cult, blend with insecurity cult, add xenophobia cult, stir in one compliant media cult, beat mixture with Prime Minister until it becomes frothy, serve with smoke and mirrors then garnish with new laws and penalties” together with John Clarke and Bryan Dawe, and the team at the ABC’s “Mad as Hell” headed by Shaun Micallef, help us maintain a decorum of perspective, sanity even, with a few belly laughs, in our present political circus. ***

A Royal Commission into Billy Shorten’s 1980’s Young Labor get together? Coalition voters will conclude “where there’s smoke there’s fire” with unlimited help from unbiased News Limited. It’s understandable to agree with the Iraq war stuff Billy but why the instant acceptance of those counter terrorism laws? *** I SEE variety and flexibility as a necessity in living a life. It was almost 30 years before I reached this conclusion. Knowing how to adapt our living patterns to society’s customs and not being bound up with these necessities in favour of your own aims can result in a marked improvement to your sense of living. It gets harder with age, particularly when taking Francis Bacon’s words as gospel ‘“I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am’”. My thinking may well be interpreted as simply always having my own way. It’s surely more than that. Friendship is vital in the sense of a loving friendship, living gold, your wife if you’re very lucky, and one or two close friends. Never intruding, never demanding, appreciating each other’s needs and quirkiness. A balancing act. I could well have spent 50 years as a public servant, locked in, which suits some no doubt. Again Mr Bacon “Imagination is given to man

By Gary Turner

Robert Downey Jr has been on the screen since aged five in Saturday Night Live and achieved acclaim for his portrayal of the title role in Chaplin (1992) but his career in the late nineties was interrupted by drug problems and was arrested and jailed for 180 days in 2000 for violating his probation. In 2001 he was sentenced to three years’ probation and ordered to remain in a live-in drug rehabilitation facility for 12 months. His films include Less Than Zero (88), Chaplin (92), my favourite Downey Jr film Heart and Souls (93), Natural Born Killers (94), Danger Zone (95), US Marshals (98) and Good Night and Good Luck (2005). Robert Downey Jr is the son of New York director, Robert Downey. *** AUSTRALIAN superstars John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John will perform together with the Farnham band and a 60 piece orchestra in a co-headlining tour across Australia in April 2015 on the Two Strong Hearts Tour. John Farnham gave us the classic ‘Whispering Jack’ album which is owned by one in four Australians whilst Olivia Newton-John’s career has spanned more than five decades with hits like If Not For You, Banks of the Ohio, Long Live Love, I Love You, I Honestly Love You and If You Love Me Let Me Know. Farnham’s recording debut was the comical Sadie the Cleaning Lady which went straight to No.1 in 1967. They will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on April 8th. Tickets 132 849. *** Winners of the Ross D. Wylie CD: Barney Fyfe – Rye Faye Williams – Chelsea Fiona Jones – Frankston

A Grain of Salt MAYBE there’s a twist to this “getting old” business, whose to know? You depart at 60, 65 even 70 and that’s a reward for a job well done, otherwise you stay on and suffer the slow downgrades of old age as a form of punishment? Should I be grateful, to be alive? For those of us who require inspiration and meaning from the drudgery of our everyday lives kindly allow me to quote the famous words of our leader and motivator “ We will be there for as long as is necessary, but no longer than we need to be”. Thanks Lord Tony. Why one fights an un-winnable war which historically can only get worse I don’t know. Time to stock up on valium, serepax and viagra. *** ASSUMING the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association and the McCrae Action Group succeed in their quest to ban the “War and Peace” proposed aquatic centre on the Rosebud foreshore, which at this stage looks inevitable despite Minister for Education Martin Dixon’s promise at the last election, the big question is: What will these fine people have to talk about after the event, including those letters to the editor? Perhaps they could turn their undivided attention to banning the Rye Carnival? If anyone can do it they can.

THE SILKY OAK A burgeoning garden being carefully sculptured, every plant nurtured in its appointed place, among them a Silky Oak was planted, with an expectant look on the gardeners face. The years passed by and the garden still tended, blossomed all round with its abundance of life, but the Silky Oak with its branches extended, became the favorite of the gardening wife. For 17 years, that Silky Oak ascended, and became a majestic well shaped tree, before one spring it finally blossomed, with flowers of gold, a treat to see. And the Silky Oak, at the bottom of the garden, the gardeners favorite and one of mine, as if sculptured by the hands of heaven, showed the glory of gods creation divine. But, what god has given, man will sunder, and the Silky Oak now in its prime, felt the sting of the chainsaw's thunder, and from that day on it ran out of time.

Reining premier gets rolled PROVINCIAL By IT Gully REIGNING MPCA Provincial Premier Mornington was rolled by Long Island in round two of the 2014-15 season on Saturday. Expected to continue to be the measuring stick of the competition this season, the Doggies were knocked over on their home turf at Alexandra Park. However, after making just 90 on day one of the competition, the final result wasn’t as ugly as it could have been. Resuming at 4/101, the Islanders were expected to go after plenty of runs early on the second day before trying to attempt an unlikely outright. However, the visitors didn’t spend a lot of time in the middle on the second day, rolled for just 128. Long Island lost their last seven wickets for just 27 runs; Scott Phillips getting 24, Justin Bridgeman 22 and Simon Dignan 12. Michael Heib was the influencer

with three wickets for the Dogs while Matt Foon and Luke Popov picked up a couple of wickets each. Mornington batted the last 48 overs of the day and didn’t fare a lot better the second time around with the bat either. At the close of play they were 5/80, Brad McDonald top scoring with 27, however, Anthony Gapes and Ben Clements failed again, netting 22 and two runs respectively for the match. The other team expected of big things this season is Mt Eliza, however, they were rolled by Langwarrin falling 16 runs short. After a fiery encounter last week where a couple of Mounties went verbally after Kangas’ skipper Mark Cooper, there was plenty of passion in the game on day two. The home side started extremely well with Ben Tracey and Tom Ewing sharing a 62 run opening stand, before Ewing was bowled by Jake D’Atri (2/77 off 26) for 20. The visitors certainly enjoyed the moment when Craig Entwhistle (6)

became the first of Dwayne Doig’s three wickets (3/82 off 31) and when Tracy and Chris Wisbey fell within six runs of one another, the Mounties were on the back foot at 4/118. Skipper Lyle House, as he has done many times over the journey, steadied the ship with 67 and together with Tristan Faithfull, helped Mt Eliza regain the ascendancy. But when Faithfull became the first of Adrian Mack’s two victims, things started to fall apart for the Mounties. Jason Mathers dug in at the end and tried his best to get his side over the line, however, it wasn’t good enough and Mt Eliza ran out of overs, finishing at 8/214 off 80 overs. Sorrento picked up a comfortable outright victory against Rye. In week one, Sorrento bowled out Rye for 108 and replied to be 1/114 at stumps. The Sorras declared at 5/198 on the second day, Corey Harris top scoring with 81 and Liam O’Connor 45. Rye was then bowled out again for 165, Sorrento recruit Luke Doyle picking up 3/13. Needing just 70 odd

runs for the outright, Sorrento got there after losing just four wickets. Pines was welcomed into the competition’s top division with a hiding against Baxter. The Piners did well with the pill on the opening day of the match, rolling Baxter for 142. However, at stumps they were in some strife at 2/27. Pines was bowled out for 57. Harley Peace-Sterling was the only batsman to score double figures with 13. Dale Irving was at his best with 4/13 while Chamika Sattambi snared 2/23. In their second innings, Baxter finished at 4/109, Todd Quinn elevated to number three and scoring 62. Once again, Jake Prosser was the wicket taker with 2/13, giving him claims as a genuine all-rounder. Crib Point was always going to defend its 9/305 against Moorooduc, however, they had to work for the 12 points. The Ducs had a red hot crack and finished all out for 271. Ben Williams opened with 48 and

shared a 42 run opening partnership with Bobby Wilson (28) and Myles Cordeux also scored 48 batting at three. John Collison contributed 43 batting at five and Brayden Gleeson (21) and Nick Williams (32) also made solid contributions. However, 309 was always a lofty target and losing wickets along the way and not having a player go on and score a ton made life difficult. Brad Davidson was a star for the Pies with the ball with five wickets while Luke Herrington picked-up three wickets. Peninsula Old Boys had every intention of going for an outright against Heatherhill but didn’t get there. The Old Boys finished at 2/105 last week, chasing the Hill’s first innings score of 70. The home side put the Hills straight back in on day two, however, the visitors dug their heels in and batted out the day, scoring 208. Christian Heath top scored with 69.

Whitling helps Reds cause major upset DISTRICT By IT Gully MT MARTHA caused the upset of the round when they beat MPCA District glamour team, Somerville. With some more than handy recruits this season including skipper Leigh Lowry and Matty Roach, big things are expected from the Eagles this season. However, no names can replace the enthusiasm and vigour of a young and aspiring team like the Reds. Mt Martha scored 127 runs on the opening day of the match and picked up a couple of early wickets before close of play to have the visitors 2/21 over night. However, although the Eagles were up against the ropes to an extent, everyone expected them to come out on day two and flex their muscles. It was Mt Martha who flexed their muscles though, Rhys Whitling leading the charge with 5/37 from 16.2 overs. Whitling led the onslaught and with the support of Brad Schreuder (2/31), Mt Martha rolled Somerville for 126, giving them a one run first innings victory. Aaron Kaddatz and Roach looked the likely players to get the Eagles over the line late in the innings, however, when Roach was run out for five, Whitling then claimed the last three wickets for just ten runs. Michael Holmes scored an unbeaten 158 in Main Ridge’s big win against Baden Powell. The Cougars rolled the Braves for 152 in week one of the match and resumed on day two at 1/128. Main Ridge ended its innings on 282 and sent the Braves back into bat in the hope of picking up an outright win. Nathan Gay was the pick of the Baden Powell bowlers with 6/39. The Braves finished at 8/119 in the second innings, Elia Carter top scoring with 33. Everyone had a bowl for the Cougars in the second innings, James Abbott the best of them with 4/11.

Hastings was handed a cricket lesson by the yardstick of the competition, Delacombe Park. The Devils scored 9/242 on the first day of the match and there is no doubt they would have had one eye on an outright victory. The Blues were bowled out for 111 in their first innings, skipper Tim Birch top scoring with 34 and Daniel Esler opening with 33. They did manage to bat for 47.4 overs. Shane Deal was the pick off the bowlers for the Devils with 3/13 while Andrew Stapleton claimed 3/24. In the second innings, Hastings survived to be 2/46 at stumps. Red Hill picked up a fantastic victory against the other glamour side of the competition, Seaford. The Hillmen scored 9/294 last week, which was always going to be a difficult task for any side chasing the total. Seaford was capable, however, given the talent in the team. Enter Jamie McCall, who headlined the Hillmen attack and responded with 5/57, while Luke Toy and Brent Martin claimed two wickets each. Seaford was dismissed for 222, giving the Hillmen a solid 70 run win. Carrum, as predicted, picked up the win against Boneo. The Lions set the Pandas 303 for victory on the second day. Boneo was bowled out for 174, Alex Petrovic top scoring with 55 and Jack Fowler getting 53. At one stage, the Pandas were 0/2. Jackson Fry was brilliant for the Lions, bowling 12.1 overs for a return of 7/63. Shaun Foster claimed 2/13, including the wicket of Petrovic. In the final game, Seaford Tigers took the points against Flinders. Flinders set the Tigers 172 for victory and they past the total easily, finishing at 9/234. Corey Hand top scored for the Tigers with 97, while David James scored 45 and Matty Meagher 41. Max Royal was the pick off the Sharks’ bowlers with 5/61.

Knights celebrate a rare win SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully THERE were plenty of celebrations at Ballam Park on Saturday night when it picked up its first victory in years against Balnarring. The plight of the Knights has been well documented over the past three or four seasons and after their batting performance last week (104), it appeared nothing much was going to change. However, the bowlers rose to the occasion and had Balnarring 6/51 overnight. Despite the fact though that the Knights were in the box seat, many predicted the Saints would get themselves out of trouble and get the 54 runs required for victory. Unfortunately for the visitors, they scored just 52 of those 54 runs, falling one run short (103). Jacob Cook did his best for the Saints with an unbeaten 30, however, it was new recruits in Leigh Parslow (2/6) and Ryan O’Connor (2/13) who got the Knights over the line. In the second innings, the Knights struggled again to be 6/60 at the close of play, however, we doubt they had their minds on the job after picking up such a dramatic win. Pearcedale cruised to victory on the second day of their match against Skye in round two of MPCA Sub District cricket. Skye was bowled out for 145 in 76 overs

on the first day of the match last week and it was never going to be enough to prevent the Dales from victory. Pearcedale sailed to victory, losing just two wickets along the way to 178 in just 66 overs. Matt Cousland got the ball rolling for the visitors with 35 opening the innings, before Mitch Andrew top scored with an unbeaten 77 and Chris Dew helped himself to an unbeaten half century (51). Skye used eight different bowlers in a bid to get a result. Rosebud successfully defended its 127 against Carrum Downs to claim victory. The Cougars were 3/46 overnight and were bowled out early on the second day for just 93. Adam Bryant claimed 5/37 from 26 overs for the Buds while Jason Nagel was up to his old tricks with 21.1 overs, eight maidens and 4/36. The batting is a concern for Rosebud though, finishing on 7/95 in their second innings. Tootgarook got the 12 points against Frankston YCW, winning by 50 runs. The Tooters set the visitors 171 for victory after batting first last week and had YCW 2/30 overnight. The Stonecats were eventually bowled out for 119. Todd Harnett was the best of the Frogs’ bowlers with 5/31 from 19 overs while Zac Stevenson picked-up three wickets and and Klint James 2/1 off two overs.

Rumours of star recruits to Chelsea unfounded FOOTBALL NEWS Seagulls flying high THERE was a massive rumour doing the rounds last week that former St Kilda players Stephen Milne, Steven Baker and Lenny Hayes had all joined former teammate Brent Guerra at Chelsea. The Gulls have already picked up Shane Valenti and Daniel Connors from Port Melbourne, as well as Shane McDonald from Bonbeach. A Chelsea stalwart confirmed the signings. However, exciting as this all sounds, any sane person would understand that there’s no way that these recruits can fit under the Player Points System (PPS). With the likes of Curtis Bywater

and Fia Tootoo already three point players, the VFL and AFL connection comes with even more points. There’s an argument to be mounted that the recruits could win games on their own, however, all jokes aside, it is unlikely. Further to that, there was a strong word that Hayes had signed on as coach of Old Haileybury. Watch this space I say.

Nepean back to 16 rounds THE Nepean League again made a massive blunder last week with the Board voting to go back to a 16 round competition. The reason behind some clubs supporting the decision was to reduce the amount of games they have to pay players.

Hastings, Pearcedale, Rosebud and Rye Football Netball Clubs voted for the draw to remain the same, an 18-round competition. Red Hill, Tyabb, Dromana, Sorrento, Frankston Bombers, Crib Point and Somerville Football Netball Clubs voted for 16 rounds and Devon Meadows didn’t submit their vote. With the draw already compromised because it is not even, there will be some clubs who are again disadvantaged by the draw. Those who voted for the 16 rounds should have to play all the top sides twice! The 16 round competition also means the blockbusters will be reduced. Sometimes you wonder who makes the decisions at some of these clubs, while the board should have stayed

strong and stayed with the 18 round season. There was one club who voted for the 16 round competition despite their coach totally against the reduced fixture. A weak decision all round.

YCW sniffing around THE Stonecats might be the reigning premiers, however, word is they believe the other clubs are coming and they need to stay ahead of the game. Two players on their radar are Dromana premiership players, Anthony Bruhn and Christian Ongarello. Word is Bruhn is a done deal and the logistics are the issue with ‘Onga’ given he lives in Elwood and works in Williamstown. Expect both to lineup with the Stonecats.

On the other side of the ledger, it appears Kyle Hutchison has played his last game for the Stonecats. There are a number of Nepean League clubs circling the talented utility.

Bombers recruit a couple THERE was talk that new Frankston Bombers coach and former Hawthorn first round draft pick beau Muston would pull quite a few players with him from Langwarrin. Only two look like joining him, fringe players Jason Curry and Jake Smith. The Kangas on the other hand regain Jayden Grose, Gerard ‘Boofa’ Brown and Shane Paterson. They also have strong irons in the fire which could make a big difference to their list.

THE new Nissan X-Trail turbo-diesel is now on sale in Australia alongside the 2.0 and 2.5 petrol variants launched earlier this year. The X-Trail range now boasts the TS and TL grades to complete the product line-up, featuring the R9M turbo diesel engine, Idle Stop/Start Technology, 96kW of power, 320Nm of torque and an impressive combined fuel consumption rating of 5.3L per 100km. The X-Trail T32 has been awarded the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating; this rating applies to all variants. The result follows similar five-star scores for the new QASHQAI released in July and the Nissan JUKE and Pathfinder, making Nissan’s crossover range one of the safest in the Australian market. “The X-Trail is the complete package of style, safety and economy - no wonder it’s one of Nissan’s most popular models, selling over 140,000 units locally since 2001,” said Richard Emery, Managing Director and CEO of Nissan Australia. Jointly developed with Alliance partner Renault, the Euro 5 compliant R9M is one of the most advanced diesel engines in its segment, due to several technical innovations designed to minimise fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. The R9M engine produces the identical torque output of the previous 2.0-litre dCi unit and is considerably more efficient and cleaner. This is achieved with weight reduction of 30kg from the previous engine along with

key technology additions such as Idle Stop/Start, Variable displacement oil pump, Swirl Control valve and a High and Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. The low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation system recycles exhaust gas at a lower temperature to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and CO2. The engine unit also features optimised thermal management that allows the engine to reach operating temperature much quicker. This, in turn, reduces friction losses when starting from cold and improves fuel efficiency. For the R9M engine the air is drawn directly into the combustion chamber in a swirling manner helping to improve the fuel and air mix. The swirling air results in a cleaner combustion process with minimal soot output. Nissan has been able to make the new X-Trail more efficient by optimising the car’s aerodynamics. New aero-friendly door mirrors and an underfloor spoiler that covers the exhaust and rear panel also play their part in making the new X-Trail the most efficient ever. The new diesel X-Trail maintains the pulling power of its predecessor, with the braked towing capacity for the 4WD manual TS and TL variants at 2000kg. All other variants have a 1500kg towing capacity. Further to this, the inclusion of Noise Absorption Technology in the lightweight dash pad minimises engine noise into the cabin.

TOYOTA has added an edgy new style to the ruggedness of Australia’s best-selling fourwheel-drive with the unveiling of a specialedition model dubbed HiLux Black. The name says it all: HiLux Black is decked out with a range of exterior and interior treatments that are presented in black to enhance its toughness and appeal. New for this version of the “unbreakable” HiLux is the combination of brooding black side steps, sports bar and leather-accented interior trim including the six-way adjustable poweroperated driver’s seat. Even the newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels are painted black behind their brightly machined six-spoke facades. Prominent new front and rear bumpers, never previously offered in Australia, give the HiLux Black a lower, more planted stance – a powerful look accentuated by black extensions below the fog light surrounds. Maintaining the model’s moody theme is a large black lower front grille that features a stylish red stripe along the bottom edge. LED daylight running lamps are specified for the first time on a HiLux in Australia. Enthusiasts will appreciate the involvement of Toyota’s global partner TRD for cosmetic enhancements with its familiar logo appearing on the wheel caps and the front bumper extension. With fewer than 1,000 being produced, the HiLux Black is based on the SR5 4x4 Double Cab pickup and attracts the maximum five-star safety rating. Toyota Australia executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the special-edition model is ideally placed to meet the remarkably divergent demands of HiLux customers. “People buy HiLux as a tough workhorse, a family vehicle or as a mixture of both, which

means they are attracted by its renowned ruggedness and also its car-like comfort,” he said. “HiLux Black delivers the best of both worlds. Its aggressive black features build on the unbreakable image of HiLux while exuding a premium appearance because black is always in style.” The special-edition model is powered exclusively by Toyota’s torquey 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or the five-speed automatic transmission introduced earlier this year. The extensive feature list includes a reversing camera and a satellite navigation system with SUNA Live Traffic updates – all viewed on the 6.1-inch display audio screen. Special-edition badges located discreetly on the front and rear bumpers further distinguish the HiLux Black. The colour choice is black and white literally, as Toyota has chosen Eclipse Black and Glacier White as the only exterior paint options for the special-edition model. Equally as stark is the black-and-white sales dominance HiLux enjoys among local customers. HiLux is the best-selling vehicle of its type and ranks third on the best-seller list for all vehicles in Australia. In 4x4 guise, its sales have topped 20,000 this year - a lead of more than 5,000 sales over its nearest competitor. In the 4x2 Pick up/Cab chassis market, HiLux sales are running more than 3,500 vehicles ahead of its closest rivals. HiLux Black is priced from $53,240 for the manual version in white. The optional black paint is $550 extra. Automatic transmission is $2,750. Like all HiLux models, it is covered by Toyota Service Advantage at a maximum of $170 per service.

Exceptional service, excellent quality and value for money ESTABLISHED at Peninsula Home for just over four years, Mornington Bedroom Gallery is going from strength to strength, and owners, Robert and Angela, cannot believe the success they continue to have. The local owner operators of Mornington Bedroom Gallery are no longer part of a franchise group and are now the only independently run (non-franchised) bedding store located in the Mornington region. Both Robert and Angela are experienced in the bedding and furniture industry, Robert for over 29 years and Angela for over 19 years. Robert has also worked in the manufacturing side of mattresses and now develops their store ranges with local family owned mattress manufacturers. As owner operators they are both extremely passionate about what they do. “Being totally independent also means that unlike franchises where there are costs built in for rebates, you will not pay more than you need to for quality items,” said Robert. “We do not rely on brand names but instead prefer to deal with local Melbourne based mattress manufacturers who build fantastic value for money items as well as keeping up with current trends in the market place. Being owner operators

also means that we have much lower overheads which mean our prices are second to none.” Mornington Bedroom Gallery specialise in 100 per cent Australian Made local mattresses. Come into the store so you can see from their mattress cutaways exactly what goes into each mattress range, as well as having all information explained to you. By doing this you will be able to make an informed decision when doing mattress comparisons between various stores, as well as seeing the great value and quality offered at Mornington Bedroom Gallery. The store also offers an extensive range of quality bedroom suites featuring timbers including beautiful American Oak, Blackwood, Spotted Gum and locally made Victorian Ash ranges all exclusive and at great prices. All beds feature strong timber slats. Mornington Bedroom Gallery has recently received new ranges of manchester and accessories so come in and check out the variety. Bedroom Gallery is at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre. Phone 5976 8811.
