The delights continue at Bentons Square THERE’S always something happening at Bentons Square Shopping Centre and this month sees the opening of a brand new deli and café, The Pantry.

Situated opposite Woolworths, The Pantry will provide that good old fashioned cooking and home-made items to delight the palate.

At The Pantry you will enjoy fabulous home made dishes from the café with warm winter treats for breakfast or lunch as well as baguettes, salads and the best Gigante coffee.

Enjoy dishes inspired by the vast array of continental, homemade goods in the deli where chef, Mario Roberts, has created his renowned home-made pates, chutneys, dips and The Pantry’s own English cheddar cheese to name a few.

The Pantry will have seating inside and out, with an alfresco area planned in the coming months.

Other changes you will notice at Bentons Square is Bakers Delight which has just finished a major refurbishment and, of course, Degani has extended their restaurant and will be hosting functions and providing entertainment once a month.

Bentons Square Shopping Centre is at 210 Dunns Road, Mornington. Phone 5976 3333. www.bentonsquare.com.au

Good news for Coast Guard Safety Beach AS a part of their Local Giving program, local retailer The Good Guys Mornington have announced that they will be donating a percentage of each transaction to the very worthy Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach. The local organization provides year round safety patrols, emergency search and rescues and safety watches along most of the community’s coastline.

The Good Guys Mornington have been a part of the Local Giving Program since it opened last year, donating more than $6,500 back to the community supporting charities such as CFA and Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia.

Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach is thrilled to be a part of The Good Guys Mornington’s Local Giving Program, a move which Allan Smith of Coast Guard Safety Beach says will make a big impact on the organisation.

“We are really excited about this partnership and want to say a big thanks to all The Good Guys Mornington customers who have made this program work so that we can benefit from donations raised,” said Allan. “It means a great deal to our community here.”

With The Good Guys Local Giving Program having donated more than $6 million nationally towards local community partners across Australia, Proprietor of The Good Guys Mornington Tony Coco says he is excited to provide local customers with the opportunity to support Coast Guard Safety Beach with each transaction.

The Good Guys Local Giving Program is run by The Good Guys Foundation. For more information on the program or to find out more about The Good Guys Mornington’s support of Coast Guard Safety Beach, simply visit Tony at Peninsula Home Centre or speak to one of his friendly team members in store.

The Good Guys Doing Good We’re celebrating our achievement in reaching $6 Million in donations.

Since 2006, The Good Guys Local Giving Program has raised funds to support essential programs, services and projects at a grass roots level.

A big thank you to all our customers who have assisted us in supporting local charities and community groups.

Spruce up your home without costing the earth UPDATING your kitchen to keep up with the latest trends doesn’t have to be a time consuming and expensive exercise. Quality products and workmanship are all you need to be on your way to a beautiful kitchen that will last you for years to come.

The days of a complete demolition and rebuild are a thing of the past with a kitchen makeover from leading renovation specialists, granite transformations.

“For a portion of the cost of a complete demolition and rebuild, a makeover or renovation will transform your tired old kitchen into a stunning feature” said Barb Mackie of Granite Transformations – Mornington.

Granite transformations is an international network of kitchen makeover specialists with over 45 branches across Australia and over 200 branches in ten countries worldwide. Our exclusive engineered stone slabs combine the finest quartz, granite and recycled glass with a state-of-the-art polymer base, producing diamondpolished surfaces that are non-porous, heat, scratch and impact resistant. By virtue of their unique production process, granite transformations’ slabs are just 6.5mm thick, which means they can be installed directly over existing benchtops and splashback surfaces, saving time and money.

We are excited to announce that 2014 will see the installation of our one millionth kitchen benchtop worldwide and celebrations of this outstanding company milestone will take place around the world.

From the opening of the first franchise in perth in 1996, granite transformations has gone from strength to strength, and over the last 18 years, has been a leader in the field of kitchen makeovers, design, trends and innovation. Granite transformations has witnessed the evolution of the kitchen from a small, often unconsidered space, to the spacious, social, creative and vibrant hub of family life it is today.

Granite transformations looks forward to the future of kitchen design, and continuing to work with australians to optimise the spaces they have to best suit their personal needs.

Granite transformations Australia will be celebrating the millionth benchtop by giving away four kitchen makeovers valued at $25,000 (rrp) and prize giveaways on facebook until December.

New dawn for bedding retailer AFTER being established at Peninsula Home for almost four years there is some great news for local bedding retailers Robert and Angela. They are no longer part of a franchise group and are now an independently run store known as Mornington Bedroom Gallery. Both 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 has an extensive knowledge of high quality Australian Made mattresses and their range is second to none. “These are very exciting times becoming an independent store as it now means that prices are cheaper for customers as there is no longer rebates or membership fees needing to be paid to franchise head office” Robert has said.

Mornington Bedroom Gallery is also proud to still specialise only in 100% Australian Made mattresses which include their brand new range of Hotel Luxury Mattreses featuring a micropocket spring system and gel infused foams. Being a micropocket it ensures correct spinal alignment and minimal partner disturbance as well as offering 60% more springs than other pocket coil ranges. Come into the store so you can see from our mattresses 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 and see the value we offer at Mornington Bedroom Gallery.

The store also offers an extensive range of quality timber bedroom suites featuring beautiful spotted gum, blackwood, Victorian Ash and Tasmanian Oak ranges. All beds feature strong solid timber slats.

Customers often tell us that when walking past out store they believe that Mornington Bedroom Gallery must be expensive as they see our beautiful timber suites on display. However, when they come in they are pleasantly surprised and can’t believe our prices.

Mornington Bedroom Gallery have also recently received new ranges of Manchester and accessories so come in for a look and get the same standard of customer service you have always received and have come to expect at the new independently run store. Layby is also available at sale prices on bedroom furniture as well as mattresses.

The store is open 7 days a week, so come in and see the quality of items available at prices that you can really afford.

United in grief: Family and friends of Liam and Frankie Davison gather together to show their love and share their sorrow. Picture: Gary Sissons

Hundreds mourn Davisons Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au HUNDREDS of mourners attended a memorial service on Sunday for Frankie and Liam Davison, who lost their lives in the MH17 plane disaster.

Crowds flocked to Toorak College to pay tribute to the Mt Eliza couple. Mrs Davison, 54, was an English teacher at the school for 28 years. Husband Liam,

56, was an award-winning novelist and taught creative writing courses at Frankston’s Chisholm TAFE Institute for several years until 2007.

The commercial airliner the Davisons were passengers on was downed over battle-torn east Ukraine in the early hours of Friday 19 July. A surface-to-air missile is believed to have hit the plane.

Evidence suggests Russian backed separatists in the eastern European

country thought the Malaysia Airlines plane was a Ukrainian transport craft.

Mourners including Frankie and Liam’s adult children, Milly and Sam, attended Sunday’s service at Toorak College’s upper playing fields.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has vowed to bring home the remains of 37 Australians who were onboard flight MH17.

“By its very nature, it may take some weeks before we can honour the dead

by returning them to those they loved and those that loved them. But we will bring them home,” Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said.

Toorak College released a statement from the Davison family: “Liam and Frankie’s family have been extremely touched by the love and support received over the past week. In 2011 Frankie and Liam visited The Annapurna Self-Sustaining Orphan Home in Pokhara, Nepal, where they were

Words fail after plane disaster

By Russell Bennett IF it happens to someone you know, it can definitely happen to someone you love.

I haven’t had a conversation with Liam Davison in about seven years, but I was thinking about him the other day, and a number of other teachers, tutors and lecturers who have had an impact on me along the way.

What are they up to now? Who are they helping to inspire next?

Liam was one of the 37 Australians killed on Malaysian Airlines flight MH17. His wife Francesca ’Frankie’ was another.

I didn’t know Liam well outside my time at Frankston’s Chisholm campus, where I did the first year of my professional writing and editing diploma.

But learning in such a hands-on en-

vironment, I’m convinced, made relationships spawned back then so much more powerful.

Liam – an award-winning novelist – taught creative writing, which often doesn’t – and at times shouldn’t – go hand-in-hand with journalism.

But what he also taught me was an ability to think outside the square and to be able to put it into words.

Yet I’m lost for them when I try to wrap my head around what happened in the sky above eastern Ukraine last Friday.

That Boeing 777 was full of people who made it their life’s mission to help others – whether they be teachers, students studying science or medicine, or delegates on the way to an AIDS conference.

Liam didn’t just influence me – he

had an effect on the lives of many of my friends – photographers, screenwriters, children’s book publishers, film makers – the lot of us.

Most of us found out that Liam and Frankie were on board MH17 through a Facebook post than I’m sure left everyone else as gobsmacked as I was.

And it was through that post that we were truly able to realise just how many people his, and Frankie’s, deaths affected.

Like most others, I’m sure, I couldn’t help but think of my own family and how I lucky I was to have them safe and sound.

Liam and Frankie are survived by two children in their 20s – Milly and Sam. Liam was 56, Frankie 54.

DEB McDonell is a force to be reckoned with. The nurse unit manager at Peninsula Health will represent Australia at the 2014 International Triathlon Union world championships in Canada.

McDonell got into triathlons by chance. “One of the day patients had been attending a local boot camp.

Her trainer was conducting a charity session with the proceeds going to a cancer charity,” she said.

“A few of us went along to support the cause and I ended up getting hooked. Eventually I wanted more of a challenge and started competing in local triathlons.”

A quiet achiever, McDonell competed in qualifying rounds around the country before being selected for the championships in the 54-59 age group. She will compete in a 750 metre swim, 20 kilometre bike ride and five kilometre run.

“The closer it gets the more nervous I become,” she said last week.

The associate nurse unit manager of the chemotherapy day unit at Frankston Hospital joined Peninsula Health as a chemotherapy nurse in 1999.

“I was here when the chemotherapy unit opened and have seen it move and grow over the years,” she said.

Working in a number of chemotherapy roles across different health services, McDonell honed her skills to become a first class nurse before returning to Peninsula Health in 2010.

“I love interacting with the patients and helping them. It is a rewarding experience being able to make someone’s treatment a bit brighter when they’re going through such a tough time.”

McDonell leaves for Edmonton in late August and is looking forward to “shouting myself a trip to New York” on the way home.

Briars ward meeting invite

Water warriors go to ground

BRIARS Ward councillors will hold a ward meeting at 6.30pm on Wednesday 6 August at Mount Martha House.

All are welcome to attend and share supper and hear from guest speakers about projects and give feedback to councillors Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and Bev Colomb.

Briars Ward includes areas of Mount Martha, Mount Eliza and Mornington.

Mount Martha House is at the corner of Dominion Rd and Esplanade, Mount Martha.

RSVP to Nicole before 4 August on 5950 1428 or email councillor.support@mornpen.vic.gov.au

A TEAM of water wise pupils at St Macartan’s Catholic Primary School is finalising ‘MAD Warriors’ its workshop for this week’s Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids Conference.

The students’ presentation, educating others about the importance of protecting groundwater, will be made to 450 ‘Water Warriors’ – fellow students from across Melbourne and Victoria – at the two–day conference at Etihad Stadium, starting on Thursday 31 July.

Teacher Carmela Theobald said St Macartan’s team of ten MAD Warriors will show conference attendees how the school manages its water, including usage, collection and water quality monitoring, and explain the role of groundwater in the water cycle. “Kids Teaching Kids is a great initiative and our school has been involved with several of their projects,� Ms Theobald said. “Children sometimes don’t listen to adults but they do pay attention to what their peers say.�

Founder of Kid Teaching Kids Arron Wood said the conference’s value was in all the work the participants put in and the learning outcomes they achieved. “The Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids conference helps young people learn about and care for their local creeks, waterways and bays, by using our world-class water wisely, keeping our sewers clean and protecting our waterways, among others,� Mr Wood said.

Melbourne Water acting managing director Paul Pretto said the effort and enthusiasm of the young Water Warriors is impressive. “As our next generation of environmental champions, these students have worked through real-world problems to come up with creative and innovative presentations,� Dr Pretto said.

Centre sold MORE than 100 people attended last month’s auction of the Mornington Youth and Community Centre at 130 Wilsons Rd. The land and building - owned by Mornington Peninsula Shire - sold for $2.1m. It was zoned residential 1.

Agent Peter Skewes, of Jacobs Lowe Bennett, said the centre’s land value was enhanced by its size and proximity to shops and facilities.

While the advertising board said the block had potential as a “place of assembly�, it is extimated the 3620 square metre block could accommodate up to nine dwellings.

Family day at the gallery A FUN-filled community day will entertain visitors at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on Sunday with an exhibition of works

by Lynley Dodd, creator of book characters Hairy Maclary and Slinky Malinki.

Dodd’s name is synonymous with her creation: the unkempt hound, Hairy Maclary. More than five million copies of the story have sold worldwide. Her other popular children’s books include the Schnitzel Von Krumm series and Scarface Claw.

Visitors are invited to take part in a treasure hunt, visit the animal nursery, listen to book readings, enter the pet parade and enjoy the Flying Bookworm Theatre Company’s entertaining shows.

“Visitors can take a tour of the exhibition, and rediscover all of Dodd’s cute creatures. It will be a fun day for family and friends, and your favourite pet too,” the mayor Cr Antonella Celi said.

The gallery at Civic Reserve, Dunns Rd, Mornington, opens 10am-4pm.

A $10 family day pass comprises 10 tickets for activities and unlimited access to the gallery.

A sausage sizzle and coffee van will be on site from 10.30am.

Winning feeling: Mornington Secondary’s under-15 girls’ state champions are Kailyn O’Connor, Jodie Kerr, Bianca Armitt, Shelley Heath and Ainslie Christy.

Students race to win cross country titles MORNINGTON Secondary College students have stunned the competition on their way to becoming state cross country champions.

After a strong performance at the southern metropolitan championships, 23 students, including four teams, qualified for the state cross country championships at a wet and windy Bundoora Park on Thursday 17 July.

Ky Davies got the team off to a flying start when he placed second in the 13 Boys event, paving the way for the school’s first team victory of the day.

The 14 boys’ team once again became state champions, after claiming the school’s first cross country state team title 12 months ago.

Then, in a dominating performance,

the 15 girls’ team powered to victory for the school’s third team state title of the day - a feat that hasn’t been achieved by any school in the past five years at this competition.

Bianca Armitt showed plenty of courage when she slipped in the muddy conditions with about 500m to go.

She got up quickly, ensuring no other runners could pass her on her way to the finish line. It was later found she had fractured her wrist in the fall - and still raced all the way.

Finally, the 16 Boys capped off a great day by winning the school’s fourth team medal by placing second in the 5000m.

“When we developed the athletics squad we set ourselves some pretty

lofty - and scary – goals, and becoming state champions was pretty high on the list,” athletics squad coordinator Tim Bartle said.

“I still can’t believe we have achieved this result in a relatively short time frame.

“As a coach and teacher of these students I couldn’t be more proud of their efforts. They have worked extremely hard at training and deserve every success.

“It is reward for effort and is proof that those willing to put in the hours and to work hard will reap the benefits.

“I guess this carries over to most things in life, not just sport. I think we are going to have to sit down and set

some new goals for the squad.”

Athletics success has been based on sound foundations. The school was named a “sports specialist school” at the end of 2011. This was the catalyst for developing an athletics squad.

Specialist coaches were appointed to assist with the development of the athletes.

Mr Bartle said success at the state titles proved the students were starting to reap the rewards of regular training over this time period.

The school has access to a range of sports clubs offering out-of-school training in athletics, aerobics, basketball, netball, swimming and girls’ football.

Quarry calls for permit extension David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au

the site, its letter states that the shire’s planning scheme allows “use and development of land for stone extraction”.

The Ross Trust’s application to convert the Pioneer site into a tip created huge controversy last year, culminating in refusal by the Environment Protection Authority to allow the proposal on a number of grounds, including concerns about groundwater pollution, threat of bushfires, odour, dust and weeds.

These and other community concerns prompted formation of the Peninsula Preservation Group, which led the public campaign against the tip proposal.

PPG was headed by Dr Mark Fancett, now a candidate in the Red Hill ward byelection. He has accused the shire of a “disturbing cover-up” in handling the permit extension application.

“I am concerned that the council has had [the letter of application] for four months and was not intending to notify neighbours of the application or ask for submissions,” he said.

“Considering the obvious community interest in the site it would have seemed appropriate to do so. My concern is that this application would have passed through the planning department and [been approved] by our council.”

Dr Fancett said Hillview Quarries got a quarrying licence for the old Pioneer quarry in 1994. It contained an extensive rehabilitation clause to be activated when mining ceased.

“They did not undertake any quarrying in the next five years,” he said.

“They applied for a 15-year extension in 1998, which expired in March

A 10-year permit extension is being sought for the abandoned Pioneer quarry in Dromana following refusal last November for it to be converted to a municipal tip.

It would be the second extension sought for the quarry by its current owner, the Ross Trust. It is believed little or no granite has been extracted from it since 1993, when Pioneer Quarries sold it to the trust-owned Hillview Quarries. Pioneer considered the site mined out.

The Ross Trust, which owns the Pioneer quarry via Hillview, states in a letter to Mornington Peninsula Shire that it wants the permit extension “to enable the company to utilise the site for uses permitted by the permit and to assess future plans for the site”.

The letter, dated 20 March this year, tells shire statutory planning manager Angela Hughes, that it intends to rehabilitate the site and states it has already done substantial work to that end.

However, “given the significant rehabilitation costs associated with the use of the site, Hillview Quarries seeks the opportunity to gain further economic benefit from the site prior to undertaking the final reclamation works.

“Any failure to extend the permit would pose a significant burden on Hillview Quarries due to the rehabilitation obligations estimated to cost in excess of $500,000.”

While not being specific about what “economic benefit” it seeks to get from

Extra time: The owners of this quarry in the foothills of Arthurs Seat, Dromana, are seeking an extension to their extraction permit.

this year. They did not undertake any quarrying in that period.

“They claim [in the letter to the shire] that they have been rehabilitating the site,” including weed removal, planting and “bench remediation” – stabilising rock platforms in the quarry.

“I have been visiting the site for over 20 years and none of this has occurred.

In fact the neglect of the site has led to a massive problem with weeds on site and escaping into the adjacent state park,” Dr Fancett said.

This is “Another example of the lack of transparency in the decisions made by our representatives”, he said.

Hillview chief executive Paul Nitas said the company had not decided on future uses for the site.

“We don’t have a definitive answer at this stage as to what we want top do with the site. We’ve asked for a 10-year [permit] extension to evaluate that,” he said.

“Who know what’s going to happen in five years; who knows what’s going to happen in 10 years? We want an extension of 10 years the same as the

previous extensions to enable us to decide what we want to do with the site.”

Was Hillview likely to reapply to use it as a tip? “They’re your comments, not mine,” Mr Nitas said. “It’s very clear in the letter [that no decision has been made].” He stated “quite categorically” the site would not be sold to the state.

“It’s privately owned,” he said. “As we’ve often said: it’s not safe – it’s a mine site.” Asked what other uses the site might be used for, he replied: “Use your imagination.”

Racing: Mitchell Pratt practices for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Swimmer fifth in Glasgow bid PEARCEDALE swimmer Mitchell Pratt, above, placed fifth in 200m butterfly final at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday morning.

As a member of the Australian swimming team he trained in Manchester before moving to the games village in Glasgow for the opening ceremony.

Pratt attended Bayside Christian College in Langwarrin and graduated last year. He trains with the Tiger Sharks Swimming Club in

Cranbourne under Ben Hiddlestone and is one of three club swimmers at the games.

The 200m butterfly was his sole event.

School registrar Julie Rebbeck said Pratt was a “fabulous” student who joined the school in Year 7. He swam for his house and was a Tiger Sharks member from early on.

A younger brother, Cooper, is also at the school.

On the buses to enjoy peninsula sights AFTER seven years of planning, tourists will soon be swanning about the southern peninsula aboard two bright red Peninsula Explorer buses.

The $300,000 double deckers will offer 45-minute hop-on, hop-off services as they tour interesting and historical sites, towns and tourist hotspots.

The ‘driving’ force behind the venture is Charles Davidson, formerly of the Peninsula Hot Springs resort, with commercial partners Driver Group Australia, Bunyip Tours, Searoad Ferries and the Portsea Hotel.

One of the open-top buses that will be on the road by October was photographed last week while on a test run.

Mornington News 29 July 2014

Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times.

Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012.

To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new pay offer to paramedics.

This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes: • a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics (pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is twice as much as the previous offer • an immediate 6% wage increase • an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further 3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total.

Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their work value claim.

Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be retained, so that they continue to receive: • 10 weeks paid leave annually • 10 weeks paid parental leave • 6 months long service leave after 15 years service • tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year.

Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme, including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service.

These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic can receive a total package of more than $110,000 a year (including rolled-in-rate, built-in overtime, FBT exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition, paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment.

The Victorian Government is continuing to invest in ambulance services, with funding provided for an additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers.

This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms and conditions they enjoy today and recognises the importance of the job they do protecting and saving lives.

LETTERS Dumping answer Residents should have known that the pamphlet advertising free hard waste rubbish collection by Mornington Peninsula Shire was a hoax (‘Pamphlets a waste of time’, The News 15/7/14).

Can you imagine our council offering an eminently sensible and desirable service like that? Once or twice a year, similar to what some other councils offer?

It might even stop illegal roadside dumping which is of terrible concern to council.

It must be sheer stubborness that prevents such a service, it can’t be the cost ,since we can afford a $40 million magnificent swimming pool with all the extras down by the sea at Rosebud.

Brian A. Mitchelson, Mornington

SPA at no shire cost Great news, a baths, geothermal and hot springs at Point Nepean (‘State backs point development’, The News 22/7/14), well above any climate change sea level rise, with lovely views, and all at no cost to Mornington Peninsula Shire, which will help with the shire debt.

Keith Murley, Blaigowrie

Embarrassing?

NO BOOK W !

It must have been embarrassing for Cr David Gibb to have a Nepean ward councillor request Mornington Peninsula Shire officers on behalf of Cr Graham Pittock to prepare a report on an incident (flooding in the MurrayAnderson and Point Nepean roads area) that was clearly in the middle of Cr Gibb's Rosebud heartland (‘Council Watch’, The News 8/7/14) .

If Cr Gibb is the strong advocate for

the residents of Rosebud as he would have us all believe, why did he not initiate the report by shire officers, rather than Cr Pittock, let alone then try and bury the investigation through a Shire-wide analysis that could foreseeably take months or years to complete? Very strange.

Perhaps Cr Gibb should focus his attention on issues within Rosebud that do impact upon the day-to-day lives of all residents of Rosebud, rather than wasting his time and our money on SPA that not many Rosebud residents want and even less will actually use.

Port confusion I am confused? Labor claims that if the port is built at Hastings it will create 40 jobs, but if they build it at Werribee it will create thousands of jobs (‘Labor divide over where to put port’, The News 15/7/14). Labor is clearly confusing jobs with the votes it wants in Geelong. Also how do we get the larger container ships being built now into Port Phillip? There is only 14 metres access depth at the heads - and much less depth through solid basalt to Bay West - compared to natural deep water channels of over 20 metres in Western Port.

Constant annual dredging would be needed to widen and deepen Port Phillip heads.

As stated in your article, the former head of the Port of Melbourne Corporation, Stephen Bradford, said "it could have potentially catastrophic environmental consequences".

Labor is just all over the place on this....as usual, its left hand has no idea what its right hand is doing.

Stefan S Borzecki, Somerville

No other choice

Melbourne and Victoria need a natural deep water port to cater for the container vessels of the 2020s which are being built now. How can the Labor shadow minister [Natalie Hutchins] even entertain the prospect of Bay West at Werribee? These ships would not get through Port Phillip heads. The constant and annual dredging required would make Port Phillip an environmental disaster, from what I have read from experts.

The natural deep water channels in Western Port are over 20 metres deep and would accommodate these future vessels.

There is only one choice for a new port and that is Western Port.

John Bryce, Crib Point

Tourism jobs loss The article ‘Labor divide over port’ (The News 8/7/2014) quotes the Labor candidate for Hastings Steve Hosking as saying he will back the multi-million dollar expansion of the port [of Hastings] if it will lead to more jobs in the area. He then goes on to say that it may mean as few 40 jobs. Hopefully this won’t be enough potential jobs to cause him to support this outrageous proposal.

Labor’s spokeswoman for ports, freight and logistics Natalie Hutchins was reported in a weekend newspaper report as saying, “the case for Bay West was compelling” and suggested that it would create thousands of jobs in Geelong. Mr Hosking has asked Ms Hutchins to help plan a jobs forum at Hastings. I wonder what these “thousands of jobs” will be and why they won’t be available in Hastings.

These confusing statements seem to be saying that while the Labor party line is against the siting of the port at Hastings, it could still go ahead if the “comprehensive and transpar-

ent cost-benefit analysis to test Bay West against all other possible siting alternatives” shows Hastings to be the favourable site.

Mr Hoskings seems to say that the port would not be a huge job creator, but a fully automated port with just a few operators. Does this mean that he would not be in favour of the project?

I hope he is talking about net jobs after taking into account the potential loss of tourism after beautiful Western Port has been turned into a lifeless swamp some years after the Port of Hastings becomes operational.

What about the jobs Australia wide that have been lost due to manufacturing being sent off shore so that we can import what used to made here?

I would happily pay more for t-shirts and plastic containers if it meant that it stopped some of this unnecessary movement of goods - or sometimes just inferior junk - all over the world.

There are many tourist operators around Western Port bringing hundreds of visitors to this beautiful and unusual place and providing many jobs. Western Port is a very popular fishing area with hundreds of people out in their boats enjoying the abundance of whiting, snapper and so on every fine weekend.

Where ever this new port is located, massive dredging will need to be done and while this is very harsh on the environment, I feel that the results of such a massive undertaking will be catastrophic to the delicate balance of Western Port.

The mangroves are an important ecological feature of the bay as are the sea grass meadows and these are susceptible to build up of silt. The mangroves and sea grass provide shelter for hatching and growing fish and other sea creatures. But I guess

with 3000 container ships ploughing through our beautiful bay each year, no one will be going out fishing anyway.

We can only hope that Bay West is chosen as the best site for the port expansion and Western Port is left alone to stay as lovely as it is now.

However, I do feel sorry for the people in the west who have to suffer so that more cheap junk can be landed on our shores, only to end up as landfill.

Anne Russell, French Island

Protector praised I AM writing in response to your article on the bird Lover bullying backlash (‘Accusations fly over bird sale’, The News 8/7/14). I just want to say through you to Paris Yves “Good on you for looking out for our birds”.

Those [people] that are bullying you have something to hide or protect that takes them away from their duties as respectable bird managers.

We need more people in our world that stand up for animal wellbeing.

I was passing through your lovely part of the world and picked up this paper. I might add that I was moved by her love of birds and her bravery.

Take care.

Manyung Gallery Mt Eliza Celebrating: Greg Hunt and Landcare’s Tessa Jakszewicz take part in A Day in the Life of Landcare at Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises in Mornington.

Images capture Landcare story VOLUNTEERS from Landcare Australia celebrated 25 years of service on Sunday by taking photographs.

It was all part of a crowd sourcing photography initiative which aims to create a visual snapshot of the organisation 25 years on.

A Day in the Life of Landcare – much like the celebrated coffee table book A Day in the Life of Australia – asked members to photograph what Landcare means to them on the day and to submit their photos for inclusion in a special commemorative book.

Environment Minister Greg Hunt yesterday joined Landcare Australia CEO, Tessa Jakszewicz, to mark the occasion – and helped re-pot some recently raised mangrove seedlings.

He was hosted by Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises, which assists young people to develop self-esteem, pride and confidence and become valued members of the community.

“It’s fantastic to be able to celebrate 25 years of Landcare nationally, and through a number of other initiatives we are running this year,” Ms Jakszewicz said.

“We hope that by celebrating the achievements of the past quarter of a century and embracing the future, that more Australians will realise the vital role landcare plays in protecting and sustainably managing our natural environment, and want to be part of it.”

Shire to overhaul rules on use of nature strips Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE shire council is looking to overhaul policies governing public use of nature strips and road reserves following a number of concerns raised by members of the public over pedestrian access and threats to the character of peninsula streetscapes.

A new draft policy and discussion paper on private works on nature strips and road reserves within Mornington Peninsula Shire was last week placed on public display for comment.

Shire mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the council had reviewed guidelines designed to “protect and enhance the public use and values of nature strips and road reserves” and was now asking for community input to help guide official policy.

Cr Celi said the draft policy sought to raise the importance of protecting neighbourhood character, heritage and biodiversity values from the adverse impacts of private works.

“Road reserves are public assets and serve a number of critical functions for the community,” she said.

“It is important that private works carried out on road reserves are undertaken in a way that protects and enhances the values of nature strips and road reserves.

She said that any private works carried out on a road reserve should not compromise pedestrian or vehicular access and not restrict or limit access to existing or proposed services such as gas, water, telecommunications or electrical supply conduits.

“This policy applies to all road reserves under the control of council within the areas of the shire inside the Urban Growth Boundary, and includes information to assist applicants wishing to carry out works and Shire officers authorised to make decisions on applications.”

In a report presented to councillors at the most recent council meeting recommending the draft Private Works on Nature Strips and Road Reserves Policy to be placed on public exhibition, the shire’s sustainable infrastructure director, Alex Atkins, said it was important the public

had clear guidelines guiding any works on public land.

“It is critical that residents and businesses seeking to carry out works or other activities on road reserves know what is required of them and that decisions regarding the approval of any works will be made in a consistent, equitable and timely manner,” he said in the report.

“Private interests or actions taken to develop and use road reserves must not prevent or compromise the interests of the wider community.

“Road reserves are shared community assets managed in the public interest to protect and enhance a wide range of physical and aesthetic values.”

He said road reserves were also used to deliver a wide range of utility and environmental services and that while “council at all times seeks to promote and enhance community harmony” it must also simultaneously achieve “efficient and effective utilisation of resources”.

“Providing a clear framework for decision making and regulating the manner in which development and use of road reserves occurs, assists to ensure that any works in road reserves are carried out in an orderly and considerate manner by all parties involved.

“Appropriate administration of decision making related to road reserves will help to promote fairness and equity for all interested parties.

“The draft policy attached to this report seeks to facilitate fair and equitable use of road reserves in a way that maintains and enhances the natural and man-made values present in every road reserve.”

Cr Celi said all peninsula residents and property owners were encouraged to comment on the draft policy and discussion paper and provide input into the development of the final policy.

Written submissions may be made by 30 September 2014, after which submissions will be considered by council.

A copy of the draft policy and discussion paper can be downloaded from: www.mornpen.vic.gov. au under the ‘Your Say’ tab.

Feature artists include Gavin Brown, Fred Colla, Darren Doye, Ben Howe, Ralf Kempken, Craig Penny, Alberto Sanchez, John Santucci, Hans Schiebold, Tanya Stubbles, Ross Wilsmore and sculpture by Robert Delves.

We welcome you to warm yourself by the open fires and meet some urban artists between 2-4pm opening weekend.

Exhibition continues until 30th August

Galaxy queen takes on world MISS Galaxy Australia title holder Jessica Martini is all set to jet off to the United States next weekend to compete for the international Miss Galaxy crown.

The 26-year-old Hastings resident, who represented the Mornington Peninsula when she won the Miss Galaxy Australia crown on the Gold Coast earlier this year, will compete against national winners from across the globe in Orlando, Florida, from 2-12 August for the prestigious international beauty pageant crown.

In the lead-up to the international final, Ms Martini said she had been working hard to help raise funds for the competition’s chosen Australian charities, Make a Wish Foundation and Australia Zoo’s Wildlife Warriors program.

She has also be appointed an ambassador for the Cancer Council’s Pink Ribbon Day and Girl’s Night In, a role she plans to continue upon her return to Australia, whether she wins or loses her international quest.

“Being an ambassador for Pink Ribbon Day is something I set out to do before I was even crowned,” she said.

“My family has a long history of breast cancer and I wanted to use my title for a purpose.

So im very proud of this ambassador role.

“I have numerous events planned for when I return from the USA, regardless of the outcome over there, and I’ve even been asked to help host the Main St Mornington Festival later this year.”

ALP pledges $1m for Moorooduc primary Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE Labor Party has promised to provide $1 million for a major upgrade of Moorooduc Primary School, in addition to the $759,000 already allocated to the school by the state government.

Deputy Opposition leader and ALP education spokesman James Merlino last week visited the school to announce the funding, while also committing to more financing in the future for building upgrades should Labor win power at the November election.

Mr Merlino was joined by the recently appointed Labor candidate for Mornington, Rebecca Wright, to deliver the news to parents and teachers during last Tuesday’s visit to Moo-

rooduc Primary School.

Principal Peter Quigley said the school was in need of a major rebuild and that the ALP’s funding commitment would help pave the way.

He said the school committee had been working hard over the past four years to obtain required funding for the refurbishment of old building and construction of new buildings.

The former Labor government had slated a complete rebuild of the school at a cost of $4.3 million in 2010.

Mr Merlino said that while the ALP’s latest commitment fell short of its earlier pledge, the $1 million allocation on top of the $759,000 already committed by the government would enable the school to begin the rebuilding process.

He said the funding would enable the “refurbishing of buildings internally to

create modern learning spaces, as the first part of their modernisation”.

Ms Wright said the school was in urgent need of an upgrade, and that “only Labor” would enable this to happen.

“Moorooduc Primary School is a diverse and caring school but it’s under a lot of pressure, and this great announcement will help its school community do so much more,” she said.

Liberal member for Mornington David Morris announced funding of $759,000 for Moorooduc primary in this year’s state budget, saying he was “extremely pleased” the school would now be able to undertake maintenance works.

“Moorooduc Primary provides a great educational experience for many children from the Mornington district, but unfortunately the school fabric has not been up to the same standard” Mr

Morris said, adding that government funding would enable the school to “undertake an overdue refurbishment program, and bring the school buildings up to contemporary standards”.

The ALP has made a number of school funding announcements over the past fortnight while accusing the Napthine government of “abandoning Labor’s plan to renovate, rebuild or modernise every Victorian government school”.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said the current Coalition government had spent a state-wide average of $278 million a year on capital works compared to an average spend of $467 million by Labor in its last term in office.

However, the state government hit back at the ALP, accusing Mr Andrews of “taking Victorians for fools if he

thinks people have forgotten about the dire condition of our schools when Labor left office in 2010”.

A statement released by the Coalition following the recent opposition funding commitments accuses the ALP of giving “false hope to around 200 schools that they would be funded – and then walked away”.

“If Victorians want an indication of Mr Andrews’ ability to run an education system, they need look no further than the independent audit that found that a decade of Labor neglect left a $420 million maintenance backlog for Victorian schools.

“In contrast, the Napthine government invested $500 million in school capital projects in the most recent state budget.”

An appointment? To buy pork chops? own Genius approaches, his luxuriant oiled curls gleaming, matching his smile. “Mr and Mrs Emu,” he breathes, “how can I help you today?”

Mrs Emu pushes the pad over the counter.

Our Genius observes its smashed screen as David Attenborough scrutinises a spectacular newly discovered insect. “Oh, dear,” he sighs. “How did this happen? What a shame.”

“Never mind how it happened, it's what happens now,” says the BB tersely. “I want it fixed as soon as possible.”

Genius looks at us mournfully for a long moment. Clearly he has bad news for us.

Clearly he is following the script learned at the training sessions Geniuses attend to gain their Genius certificate. “We don't fix them,” he says. “We replace them.”

Mrs Emu, and her spouse, are genuinely startled by this revelation, and even more so by the next piece of news.

“We can replace this one for $300 or so,” he informs us. “I assume you have backed up all your data. Of course, that will be lost.”

Mrs Emu is struggling to comprehend.

Lost data? What does this mean? “Can't repair?” she stutters incredulously. “It's just a piece of broken glass. Three hundred dollars – odd? For this we had to make an appointment? Couldn't be told over the phone, or when I came in two days ago? Needed an appointment?”

Her voice is rising, her eyes are reddening.

Any moment now, thinks Emu, she is going to do that terrifying serpentine manoeuvre with her neck. Watch out for the beak,

Genius.

But she doesn't. The Genius remains as stationary and confident as a cat watching the approach of small dog. His Genius course has covered Difficult Customers. “We can only replace,” he intones in a hard little voice, his brilliant smile fixed. “Or you could put clear plastic to the screen so you don't get cut by the broken glass.”

Sensing Mrs Emu is vulnerable, he continues. “Unfortunately we are out of clear plastic or I would put one on for you. But a shop on the ground floor stocks them” – he names the shop – “and I strongly recommend you acquire one.

“Thank you for calling by,” he says dismissively, all prospect of profitable commerce gone, “and have a good day.”

The Emus adjourn to the ground floor, find the shop, find the plastic (“optical quality, $24.95”) and leave the Great Shopping Centre, device unfixed, plastic unpurchased.

“I've got clear plastic left over from covering my cookery books,” the BB announces as we climb into the car. “Not optical quality, but it will do the job.” The revelation that his bride possesses cookbooks shakes Emu. Her culinary output has always been rudimentary, he muses.

As the motor revs, she harks back. “And for that I had to have an appointment. An appointment! Soon we'll have to make an appointment for a pound of pork chops or a pair of shoes. We’re being conned!”

She begins to enumerate items one might have to make an appointment to buy. Emu presses the radio button. It bursts into life with Je ne regrette rien, the unmistakeable warblings of The Little Sparrow (Le Petit Moineau), the dreaded Edith Piaf.

Merde! Emu thought he had disposed of this hateful CD. And now his BB thinks he has actually come to like it. Merde encore!

IS Hastings destined to be an international container port, or are there other scenarios that could secure both the economic and environmental future of the bay and the surrounding region?

These far-reaching questions will be evaluated at the workshop: Scenario Planning for Western Port Bay, to be held at the Newhaven Yacht Squadron on Phillip Island over five days from 28 July-1 August. And the organisers are inviting interested residents to take part.

The workshop is being led by Australian National University professor and ecological economist Robert Costanza, and Dr Ida Kubiszewski, a senior lecturer at ANU and managing editor of Solutions and other publications.

Organisers are the ANU, Preserve Western Port Action Group and the Victorian National Parks Association – with the support of Bass Coast Shire Council.

Scenario planning is a structured process of exploring and evaluating plausible futures. Exercises have been conducted here and internationally on a range of issues, including regional futures, corporate strategy, political transition and community-based natural resource management.

The innovative process will involve larger groups on days one and five - up to 100 each day - and a small, dedicated group of up to 25 people over the entire week.

The five-day workshop is expected to set the scene for the rest of the week with guest speakers introducing up to 100 participants to scenario planning. The work achieved on day one will shape the scenarios to be evaluated over the next three days.

These will involve working groups of 20-25 participants “fleshing out and evaluating” scenarios.

The final day will involve reporting back on the preliminary results of the scenario planning with opportunities for feedback, discussion and input into the next steps which are open to up to 100 participants.

To book a place in the invitation-only event register at the Eventbrite registration page.

The yacht squadron is in Seaview St, Newhaven, with catering provided for the full five days.

MRS Emu is in from an outing and in a mood, judging by the forceful closing of the front door. She was off shopping and coffeeing with friends on an expedition to the Great Shopping Centre and it appears not all went well.

Emu adopts a snoozing pose as drawers are rattled and cupboards slammed. But snoozing, faked or otherwise, is no defence against an irritated Mrs Emu needing to get something off her chest.

“Just imagine it!” she expostulates, bursting in on her recumbent spouse, who twitches realistically, as if in a slumber too deep to be interrupted. To no avail: Mrs Emu is no respecter of feigned sleep when in a mood.

“Imagine it!” she said again, with a “I know you're feigning sleep” edge to her voice. “I have to make an appointment.

An appointment to have my electronic pad looked at. Have you ever heard anything like it? And all this palaver because the glass screen is broken.”

And Emu, it transpires, has a role to play in this appointment. First, he must make it.

Then he will accompany his Blushing Bride to the computer store. He suspects he will be there for moral support.

At the appointed time on the appointed day they swirl into the store. “Have you an appointment?” a young female inquires.

The imperious BB has swirled on, towards a counter marked Genius, leaving Emu to respond in the affirmative.

At the counter Mrs Emu is breathing slightly heavily, glaring at three young swains attending to an attractive young female acting helpless, too absorbed to cast so much as a glance at the new customers.

“Hussy!” mutters Mrs Emu, slightly too loudly.

Ten minutes pass before Mrs Emu's very

Future of Western Port up for debate

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession.

100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks.

Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Elderly couple flees armed ‘invader’ Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au AN elderly couple was forced to flee their home after an armed man burst into their lounge room during a dramatic siege in Frankston last week.

The couple’s home in Reid St was one of three properties allegedly “invaded” while occupants were inside during a police chase on Monday afternoon.

A 36-year-old Frankston man was later arrested and remanded in custody on multiple charges including three counts of aggravated burglary following a 45-minute stand-off with police.

The drama began when the alleged offender ran from police after his vehicle was pulled over in Lardner St, near Monash University, about 12pm.

Multiple police units, including the dog squad, were called in as the man ran along Heatherhill Rd then over Frankston Flinders Rd and Foot St before running through a number of houses and properties about two blocks away from Frankston High and Overport Primary schools.

The man is alleged to have entered an occupied house in Oxford St, where police say he stole a number of items including a change of clothes, before jumping the back fence into a second

property fronting onto Cambridge St. He is then alleged to have fled over the fences of a number of other properties before breaking into a house in Reid St where police said he stole a bicycle, car keys and knives.

When police confronted the man as he tried to exit the front of property on the bicycle while wearing the new set of clothes, he is alleged to have threatened them with a knife before again fleeing into another house after smashing the front window with a running kick.

The man dove through the broken glass into the house then bolted out the back door and over the fences of two more properties, before arriving at the elderly couple’s home.

The terrified man and woman ran out the back door of their home after the man suddenly appeared in their lounge room allegedly brandishing a number of knives. Police sealed off the street and surrounded the house. The man is alleged to have made “various threats” while holed up in the couple’s house during a tense standoff.

However, police were able to talk the man down and he surrendered peacefully after about 45 minutes.

He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court at a date to be fixed.

Tense stand-off: Police surrounded a house in Reid St Frankston after an armed man burst in while trying to avoid arrest last Monday afternoon. The elderly occupants of the house fled out the back door and were assisted by police.

The twenty members of the local combined team have been invited to the banquet, together with the president and secretary of each of the six Peninsula clubs.

About 150 invitations have been issued in the city, whilst a goodly number have been sent out to prominent citizens of Frankston and district.

The hosts, we understand, are the committee of the Essendon football Club. ***

PIGS WANTED (alive).

Highest price for good quality. Weight 120lbs preferred. J. LLOYD and Sons, Bacon Curers, Crauleigh, Frankston.

THE demonstration in tree and stump blasting with gelignite was very successfully carried out on Tuesday afternoon last the 28th inst. on Mr Gibson’s property at Hastings.

Although the day was showery, about 35 spectators assembled to witness operations.

In all eight stumps and one tree were

grubbed and without one exception, those present were unanimous in their praises of the effective work done.

One particularly large stump was cleanly grubbed and shattered with a shilling’s worth of explosives, all the roots being run perfectly.

The spectators considered that it would have been a cheap job for twice the cost.

Small stumps up to 1 foot in diameter were blown out for 3d or 4d each.

Two large stumps, each about 3ft. across, were blown up simultaneously with the electric shot firing method.

The stumps were about 20 ft. apart and after connecting up the wires, which convect the electricity, all retired to a safe distance (about 50 yards).

As soon as the current was passed along the wires, the charges under the two stumps explodes simultaneosely and both stumps were seen thrown into the air in a dozen pieces.

The electric outfit used at the demonstration was the property of Mr Kroronse, of Tyabb, and is for sale or else available for hire by the week.

Supplies of Noble’s Glasgow Gelignite, Fuse and Detonators may also be obtained from Mr Krcrousee who is the local representative. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions was held on Monday last. before Mr Williams JP. Francis Brown claimed £5 damages from John Garlepp for alleged unlawful assault on the 10th July on the Mornington Road.

Mr Lawrence Rostron appeared for the complainant, and Mr Kirby for Garlepp.

Francis Brown, the complainant said that on the evening of that day he escorted Miss Walsh, whom he did not know, to her home.

She was accompanied by two home boys, and she told him that she had been annoyed by two men and that she was frightened to go home by herself.

She asked him to find a young man named Bolger, whom she knew, but he was unable to do so.

He then said that he would go home with her, which he did.

He saw her safely inside the gate, and returned to the road, when he was assailed from behind and pushed on to his face on the road.

He got up, and encountered Garlepp in a fighting attitude, while another man, whom he could not recognise, was about ten yards away throwing clay at him.

Garlepp attacked him, and as a result he was again knocked over, and had a piece of skin knocked off his face.

He procured a billet of wood and his assailants decamped.

Constable McCorniack said that on the night of the 10th July the complainant came to the police station, and laid a complaint against Garlepp.

His coat was covered in mud, and the left side of his face was cut, and blood was running from it.

The defendant was fined 10s, with 15s 6d costs, and 5s damages was awarded. Garlepp was also charged with an assault ou Brown on 11th July, in the billiard room of the Bay View Hotel, but in this case the bench decided to dismiss the case.

Rage against the washing machine

By Stuart McCullough Most appliances are harmless. A toaster would gladly be your best friend given the chance. In fact, if you were to unexpectedly become a hobo at short notice and set off on a cross continental journey carrying nothing but a swag and a water bottle, a toaster would happily trail behind and keep you company the entire way.

Or it would, at least, if it had legs. A food processor can’t do enough for you. It’s practically falling over itself just to help out. Televisions are just like windows but better. Kettles hold the unique distinction of being the most yin and yang of all appliances in that they boil water and yet simultaneously soothe the soul. But there is one household white good that should not be trusted. When it comes to this particular piece of domestic hardware, never let it near the steak knives and avoid turning your back on it at all costs. It’s mean and angry and will never be your friend. I speak, of course, of the washing machine.

It’s the Incredible Hulk of appliances. It sits there, all harmless and inert until forced to do its job at which point it becomes unspeakably angry.

It starts slowly with little more than a gentle whir; like a merry go-round for your clothes. But before you know it, the whole contraption works itself up into a writhing, foot-stomping tizz that falls just short of a somersault as it goes flat-out berserk. It’s as though it’s throwing a spectacular tantrum that would surely earn it a spell in time out were it not for the fact that

it was already in the least attractive room in the house. It’s as though it’s trying to have its way and is eternally annoyed at the fact that it has to wash dirty clothes whilst other appliances get all the glamour jobs.

At Tyabb, the washing machine was bigger than the first car I owned. It also had a greater top speed. Given that it had to deal with the dirty

clothes of seven people, it had a lot to be angry about. The laundry was (and still is) just near the dining room table and it was not unusual for us to be working our way through a plate of meat and three vege only to be interrupted by a sound that resembled Dorothy’s Tin Man stuck on ‘The Gravitron’ and trying to squash a mouse. When it got really worked up,

it made a shrieking sound reminiscent of the shower scene from Psycho.

Plates would tremble and peas would leap from forks in search of safety as an avalanche of sound that gave the impression that hell’s own portal had just been prised open filled the house. To hear it, you’d think it was the apocalypse rather than just the spin cycle.

More than just wail and scream, our machine made frequent attempts to escape. It never succeeded. It must be said that it’s not easy getting over the razor wire and past the guard dogs when you’re chock-full to the brim with school uniforms and PE gear.

Not that our machine didn’t give it a pretty good try. It was a common occurrence to find that it had broken loose from its moorings and was pressed up against the door. Sadly, though it travelled the length of the laundry, it never went any further. It’s the curse of not having hands, I guess.

The poor thing was probably hoping for the day one of us accidently left the door open and it could, once and for all, makes it break for freedom.

Maybe that’s the problem. Perhaps washing machines don’t have severe anger management issues so much as they simply long to be free. It doesn’t seem too much to hope for. Besides, they’re always in the worst spot in the house. Sometimes, they don’t even get a room to themselves. I once lived in an apartment that had a so-called ‘European laundry’. As it turns out, ‘European laundry’ is an especially fancy way of saying ‘cupboard’. Or,

to those of you who’ve ever rented in the metropolitan area, a ‘studio apartment for an affordable budget’.

For decades, humankind has contemplated what the world might be like if apes were to rise up and conquer human civilisation as we know it. It’s a question first posed

by Pierre Boulle’s novel, ‘La Planete des Singes’, which was later turned into the movie ‘Flashdance’. But the same book was also the basis for the film starring Charlton Heston, ‘The Planet of the Apes’. To this day, it’s a theme that continues to fascinate people. But the real question is this: who’s to say that monkeys pose the biggest risk? Unless you’re Michael Jackson (and, let’s face it, who is?) primates don’t live inside your house.

Apes don’t know you so well that they’re intimate with all your dirty laundry. Washing machines, on the other hand... If you think about it, the threat is clear – washing machines are preparing to attack.

The day when both front and top loaders alike rise up against their human captors cannot be far away.

That’s why we need to get in first.

People get hysterical about free-range eggs, never realising they’re holding someone hostage. The time is now. I say we should set our washing machines free. To let them throw off the yoke of servitude so they can roam in packs over the open plains. It’s a delicate matter, but these machines have a cycle for ‘delicates’. Go, dear machine; go and be free. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance NEXT month Shock Entertainment will release Thick as a Brick – Live in Iceland by Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson on 2CD, DVD and Blu-ray.

This is the first release for the combined Thick as a Brick and Thick as a Brick 2 and it offers a superb presentation of the complete presentation of the complete story of Gerald Bostock.

Thick as a Brick was originally released in 1972, when it made No.1 on the ARIA Chart. Jethro Tull was the brainchild of Ian Anderson, who played flute and sang while standing on one leg.

When they formed in 1967 they had the folk sound, some jazz and the blues.

Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music gaining 11 gold and five platinum albums. Many Australian rock music critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off the cutting edge. Not one record store in the country would be without copies of ‘Thick as a Brick’ Jethro Tull was Ian Anderson (vocals, flute), Mick Abrahams (guitar), Glen Cornick (Bass) and Clive Bunker (Drums).

The album still holds up more than 30 years later as does ‘Living in the Past’ and ‘A Passion Play’. Ian Anderson’s profile has rarely been higher following the very successful release of his new solo album Home Erraticus this year and Anderson will tour Australia and appear in Melbourne, December 15.

Details www.jethrotull.com *** ENTRY is now open for the 36th Toyota Star Maker – Australia’s longest running search for a new country music star. Star Maker has been a crucial launching pad for some of Australia’s biggest country music stars including Keith Urban, Lee Kernagahn, James Blundell, Beccy Cole, Lyn Bowtell and Kylie Sackley.

In 2015 competition will be as tough as ever following the outstanding commitment from recent winners Luke Austen, Luke Dickens, Bob Corbett and Kaylee Bell who have all grabbed the prize and haven’t stopped running.

Barry Harley said “Star Maker is Australia’s most prestigious search for a country music star which boasts winners with international roots and appeal.

Keith Urban (1990), Craig Robertson (1989) and Kaylee Bell (2013) were born in New Zealand and this year’s winner Jared Porter was born and lived in the USA for the first 11 years of his life. At 14 years he relocated with his mother to Orange, NSW where he was educated” www.starmaker.com.au *** FOLK Alliance Australia invites all people interested in the Australian Folk Music scene to attend this year’s Folk Alliance National Conference in Melbourne

The album also includes brand new recordings of ‘Working Class Man’, which sees Jimmy reunited with the song’s writer, Journey’s Jonathan Cain, as well as ‘Ride the Night Away’, featuring the song’s co-writer Little Steven Van Zandt from the E Street Band.

Produced by Kevin Shirley (Cold Chisel, Silverchair, Aerosmith), the 30/30 album not only celebrates the phenomenal career to date of one of Australia’s foremost musicians but also illustrates Jimmy’s continuing relevance within the contemporary Australian music scene, both as a recording and a touring artist.

In celebration of his 30th Anniversary Jimmy Barnes will be embarking on a tour later this year, playing a select number of A Day on the Green wineries nationally, with full details to be announced soon.

30/30 Anniversary album (Liberation) is due out August 29.

Jimmy will appear at Mt Duneed Estate, Geelong Saturday November 15th, Michelton Wines, Nagambie Saturday December 13 and Rochford Wines, Coldstream on Saturday December 20 with special guests including The Living End, Mahalia Barnes, Troy CassarDaley, Baby Animals, Ian Moss, Nick Barker and You Am l.

30/30 Anniversary album (Liberation) is out August 29th.

Before the Global Financial Crisis we were inundated with financial geniuses telling us how to make money: Superannuation, term deposits, property, shares. Crash! The culprits scurried underground, blamed others, allowing us the benefit of getting rid of them for a time. They’re back like mushrooms, and suddenly everyone’s an expert again.

Perhaps a Club for financial advisers and football experts? Imagine, each evening, after another day of serving up tripe, continuing said tripe amongst themselves. *** I TOOK part in a survey of home owners; our thoughts on borrowing from banks whereby we don’t pay them back until we die. Ten of us; coffee, biscuits, $40. Eight of them had financial advisors worn as a badge of common sense?

The world may well be “waiting for the sunrise” but in financial terms it’s a bridge too far (forever) for most of us.

The financial system (Murray enquiry) and the quality of the financial advice is being undermined by conflicted remuneration structures. *** ARE we being brainwashed? I really don’t know, but I cannot help wondering as to the slant of news reports on the fighting (Israeli bombardment, Hamas tunnels) in Gaza. Channel 9 highlighted some 15 Israeli soldiers killed and

barely mentioned a total of 350 deaths.

SBS later showed film of some 2000 injured on the Palestinian side. Our Foreign Minister speaks high and mighty, rightly, about the MH17 disaster, without mention of the Gaza tragedies. Sore thumb? *** NATHAN Buckley’s rat pack a far cry from the talented long serving pack he kicked out. “We didn’t see this coming” said Bucks. “It’s got nothing to do with personnel, it’s got a lot to do with how we execute and the way we play.

There’s a focus on our forward line, and we could definitely score heavier, but it’s not about who, it’s about how we go about it and how we move the ball.

We haven’t controlled field position as much because our defence hasn’t been as effective, and we’ve turned the ball over when we shouldn’t” Double dutch, or words of wisdom from master coach Nathan Buckley? Don’t wait to be told mate; you need palmolive gold, now. *** “ONCE upon a time in Punchbowl” and the Cronulla beach riots (SBS) witnessed many Australians putting their stupidity literally on show for the cameras, inspired to some extent by the likes of Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt and others.

John Howard said “I do not accept that there is underlying racism in this country” surely tongue in cheek. The major-

ity of Australians are indeed rascist, as evidenced by both political parties policies on boat people. Again I ask “Who discovered the boat?” *** SAYS our man Greg Hunt “we were voted in with a clear mandate to repeal the carbon tax” or was it because the majority decided they’d had enough of the Labor party? What is it with this “mandate” word, used in a sense of self-righteousness for the boats and the carbon tax yet conveniently ignored for pension cuts, health, education and other shifties; in fact no mandates? One wonders what transpires at their meetings to think we would fall for this word as and when it suits them, until one reads the daily baa baa letters in that morning newspaper.

Loved the carbon tax bit where they said it would be good for small business. Sadly most small business owners have been falling for this con all my life.

Surely a sense of importance but missing the small print? National interest be blowed. Live and let live? *** LEAVE my mate Woody Allen alone.

He married his step-daughter; big deal.

What’s that got to do with whether or not you go see his films? If we apply this rule we would never see another film.

If we were really honest with ourselves (highly unlikely) we would banish all mirrors from our home. Old sins cast

www.jimmybarnes.com *** OSCAR winning director Ron Howard will make a new documentary about the Beatles’ touring years, with the backing of their music label Apple.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are giving their full co-operation to the movie, as are John Lennon and George Harrison’s widows.

The film will tell the band’s story from the Cavern Club through the Ed Sullivan show to Beatlemania.

Howard won the Academy Award for Best Director for the film A Beautiful Mind. He also directed Cinderella Man and Rush. *** ROCK legends Pink Floyd are set to release a new album The Endless River in October, their first for 20 years.

The news came from author, Polly Samson, who is married to the band’s David Gilmour, and has previously written lyrics for the band.

Their album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ (1973) was a favourite album of mine.

The album was a carefully constructed cycle of songs with deep meaning. The band embraced all that technology had to offer, especially synthesizers and saxophone.

The band met as students all studying architecture in London in 1965.

Pink Floyd came from Georgia bluesmen Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Syd Barrett formed the band with Roger Waters and Barrett determined the musical direction the band took but when he Barrett left the band in 1968, Roger took over the songwriting and the musical direction.

Dark Side of the Moon became one of the highest selling rock albums of all time. In 1979 they released The Wall, a concept album which was made into a movie by Bob Geldof. www.pinkfloyd. com

A Grain of Salt SEIZE the day! That’s what he said. A departing inspirational comment? How about “Have a nice day” or “cheerio”?

He bullocked off to seize his frivolous day. I was at the cafe, coffee, reading, MMOB. I drifted back; the late 50’s.

The open fields of green surrounded by friends, acquaintances, sunflowers, daffodils and old people. Swings, slides, running and tennis balls, the Merri Creek, tadpoles, the tip. Mucking around. No fields now, big trees, apartments, surrounding me. Walking is difficult. Hard to seize the coffee cup let alone the bloody day. Maybe go backwards; is there an App to go backwards?

The brain’s still working, just. See a doctor, antibiotics for the back; miracle drug guaranteed to bring on diarrhea. Bloody forest. Snakes everywhere; huntsman, politicians, crooks. Mates, Gary and Jack, Lawrie, Nancy, lovely Dianna, all to lah lah land. A day at a time, an hour, a bloody minute. Seizing be damned.

Back to my newspaper. *** PRIME Minister Tony “I don’t believe any thinking Australian would want us to capitulate to moral blackmail” referring to self-harm among women on Christmas Island? Leaving aside the moral blackmail nonsense is he suggesting if you disagree you’re not a thinker?

Speaking to your children about horrific world events

By Angela Kelly OUR world at the moment is far from a peaceful place. We read each day of the heartbreak of lost lives and broken families as the tragedy unfolds of the downed MH17 over Ukraine farmland. This loss of life coupled with the horrific stories from the Israel-Gaza conflict have profound effects on our children due to the extensive media coverage that has become so prevalent in our world. The 24-hour news coverage results in graphic and immediate images of these and other major national or world calamities being broadcast into our homes. My concern is that these confronting images, viewed in the safe haven of our homes, impact on the hearts and minds of our children witnessing these types of graphic events.

Large-scale tragedies can be extremely disturbing to children, who thrive on predictability and security. When exposed to these catastrophic events through the media, children often display fears and anxieties. Usually, these reactions are normal; however, without proper assurance, the impact of events can remain with children for a long time, even throughout their lives. With the appropriate support and guidance, however, children can become resilient and strong in dealing with issues and this can ready themselves for their unknown life circumstances throughout their futures.

At these times when your children are showing outward signs of distress, it is important as parents

to be able to understand and ease your children’s fears and concerns. It is important to express your love a little more than usual and be available as much as possible to them. Your children are greatly influenced by your

reactions and if you can remain calm and speak to them about your own feelings this is a great comfort. The most important thing for your children at these times of crisis is the opportunity to express thoughts and feelings. Answering

their questions in the most honest way you can is always going to be the best possible response for them. Teach your children that people do harmful things, but being violent or killing people is never acceptable. And it is impor-

tant to offer them hope about their world and to encourage them to see the good things in their own lives and to remind them of the love that surrounds them within their family, their extended family and their friends.

scoreboard The Magpies are the real deal NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB POINT proved once and for all on Saturday that it is a genuine premiership contender after knocking over Dromana for the second time this season.

The Magpies answered everything that the reigning premier threw at them on Saturday at Crib Point Reserve before hanging on to win another thriller, 17.6 (108) to 14.19 (103).

The first time the sides met, Crib Point kicked the last goal of the game to win by one point.

Now, looking at the scoreboard, it would appear that the Tigers squandered opportunities and probably deserved to win.

However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. The Tigers did squander opportunities in front of goal, however they certainly didn’t deserve to win the game.

Crib Point was clearly the better team over four quarters and followed instructions to the letter.

Dromana didn’t seem to listen to a lot of what coach Doug Koop had told them and the result was their third straight loss.

Every time the Tigers challenged the home team on Saturday, the Magpies were able to respond with a couple of goals of their own to regain the gap.

Crib Point led at every change and Dromana didn’t hit the front once in the contest. The closest they got was within two points in the last quarter.

The Pies booted the first four goals of the game before the Tigers had entered their attacking 50.

Crib Point went into the match without Glenn Boyd for the second week, which saw Luke Herrington and Jon Flack swapping between full forward and on the ball. Both finished with four goals and they were instrumental in the win.

Brad Davidson also lit the place up, as he so often does, with a couple of clever goals. He too finished with four, while the domination of James Cook in the ruck was instrumental.

Cook was wonderful at the centre bounces and around the ground. He beat three opponents in Baldwin, McGrath and Gaertner. McGrath went off the ground in the second quarter with what appeared to be a shoulder injury. He didn’t come back on.

The undersized Crib Point defence was superb also. Dean Warry, Matt Sloper and Zac Dekluever all gave away height but they couldn’t be matched at ground level.

The Magpies’ style was to bring the ball to ground, run, spread and ‘blowup’ the Dromana opposition. It was also a case of play-on at all costs.

The Pies have backed their fitness all season and while Dromana appeared to be running them down in the last, it was Crib Point’s running game that saw them kick two goals to seal the game.

Dromana lacked system going forward and while the coach was pulling his hair out on the sidelines

because his forwards kept leading wide, it made little difference.

There were four players that kept Dromana in the contest. Paul Minchington was clearly his team’s best player in the middle, Call Park was extremely good, Christian Ongarello gave great drive from half back and Terry Wheeler was dominant.

There just wasn’t enough support from anyone else.

Dromana will get back Michael Falconer and Ash Waterstone this week, while Andy Kiely is another two weeks away. Stuart Cleave (shoulder) is also a chance to play before finals, although it is considered doubtful.

The Magpies should get back Boyd in the next couple of weeks and Aaron Murray would be a wonderful inclusion into this footy team.

Hastings season is finished after being beaten by Frankston Bombers on Saturday.

To say the Blues have been disappointing this season would be an understatement.

On Saturday, Hastings was beaten by a team that was more committed, desperate and unified.

At no stage were they really in the contest and the scoreboard of 10.10 (70) to 7.9 (51) reflected that.

James Degenhardt was outstanding again for the Bombers while Corey Micari and Mitch Bosward were also in fine form.

Taylor Stratton was again the Blues’ best, while Luke Hewitt and Steve Charalambous have found some

consistency of late.

Grant Masterson and Mick Haddad were both in the reserves, as was Mick Agnello, who was dropped after announcing his retirement before the Rosebud match.

Rosebud’s season is also finished after it went down to Sorrento by six goals.

The Buds were held goalless in the first half, however, booted six goals to five in the second half to go down 6.6 (42) to 12.6 (78).

Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan booted three each for the Sharks.

Hallahan was the best player on the ground, while Dave Lawson and Tyrren Head were also at the top of their game.

Tom Baker was his team’s best while Dan Hickey play a great game against his old side.

A big wasted season for the Buds, while Sorrento now seems to be motoring towards finals.

Rye is also starting to motor and sured-up a place in the finals with a 13.15 (93) to 6.9 (45) win against Devon Meadows.

Panthers’ coach Brent Clinnick announced his resignation through the week, however, it wasn’t enough to spur his team to an unlikely win.

The Demons kicked away early and stretched their lead at every change.

Aaron Findlay was a handful with four goals while Ben Cain and Leigh Morse were also very good performers.

For the second time this season, Adam Kirkwood tore his hamstring. They

need to put him on ice now until finals.

Teenager James Doria made it five goals in two senior matches with another two while Pat Boland and Brian Wapshott were outstanding.

Pearcedale led Somerville all day on Saturday until it mattered most, the final siren.

The Eagles booted 3.5 to one behind in the final quarter to win 13.12 (90) to 11.12 (78).

Adrian Ridout was the difference between the sides with six goals for the Eagles, while Justin Farrelly was outstanding in the ruck.

Pat Heijden was great for the Panthers with four goals and Pat Cadd and Chris Fortnam flew the flag for four quarters also.

In the final game, despite resting six top liners, Red Hill managed an 18.20 (128) to 2.8 (20) win against Tyabb.

The Yabbies were held goalless until the final quarter.

The Hillmen went into the game without the likes of Dan McNamara, Michael Mock, Josh Mold, Jarryd Eames and Sean Holmes.

It mattered little as the Hillmen had 18 scoring shots in the first half and 20 scoring shots in the second hour.

Jarryd Douglas finished with seven for the winners while Jake Mold and Marcus Dal Lago were also fine contributors.

Justin Volk was Tyabb’s best, while Tyson Sparkes continues to impress.

Adrian Clay, Nick Taranto and the more experienced Ash Souter and Craig Conlan worked tirelessly also.

Eagles swoop late to beat Dogs PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Edithvale-Aspendale is four points clear of Bonbeach and Mornington in second place on the Peninsula League ladder after coming from behind to beat the Dogs on Saturday.

The reigning premier now has 11 wins from 14 matches, while the Sharks and Dogs are a further game back.

Frankston YCW maintained its position at the top of the Peninsula League ladder after beating Seaford.

They are a game clear of Edithvale (12 wins and two losses).

The fight for fifth place continues, although Mt Eliza now is a game clear of Langwarrin.

The Redlegs will finish at least two games clear of the Kangas by season’s end with games against Karingal and Seaford to come in the final four rounds.

Langwarrin has Seaford this week but finishes with Edithvale, Mornington and Frankston YCW. The big game on Saturday though was that between the Eagles and the Dogs at Regent Park.

Edithvale got away to a flier and led by 23 points at quarter time and extended that to 24 points at the long interval.

Mornington came out firing in the third quarter, booted 4.4 to four behinds and scores were locked

together at the final change.

By the halfway mark of the last quarter, the Doggies had edged their way in front by seven points and looked the stronger of the two teams.

However, the Eagles found an extra gear in the final 15 minutes of the match, kicked the next four goals and recorded an 11.14 (80) to 9.14 (68) victory.

Teenage star Darcy Warke was superb for the Eagles with two goals and a dominant display, while Todd Woodbridge, who had spent a couple of weeks in the twos, stood up most when it counted in the last quarter.

Adam Budge had also missed a few games and he kicked a very important goal in the last quarter to put the Eagles in front.

Eagles’ coach Troy Shannon said it was another important victory.

“You have to beat the best sides in the competition if you want to achieve what you want out of a season,” said Shannon.

“We should have put them away in the first quarter but we just didn’t convert our opportunities. Instead of being four goals up, I thought we should have been six or seven in front.

“I was pleased with our ability to be able to get going again when the game was on the line.

“They (Mornington) had all the momentum and we were able to get

that back. Even more pleasing was it wasn’t the same old players that got us out of a hole.

“It was guys who have struggled of late, got another opportunity and really grabbed it.”

Shannon said Mornington was a “very good side”.

“Mornington has a never-saydie attitude and that’s a really good trait to have as a footy side,” said Shannon.

“I’d like to think that we are a bit the same and it was two teams having a real crack.

“They have a great blend of bigs, smalls, experience and youth and they are going to be good for a while.

“I think the bigger decks will suit them better too,” said Shannon.

Dale Nolan booted four majors for the Doggies and was among his side’s best, while Chris Paxino and Jai Haddock were outstanding.

Bonbeach bounced back from a horrible defeat last week to easily account for Langwarrin.

The Sharks got away to a wobbly start and were outplayed by the Kangas in the first quarter, however, took advantage of their limited opportunities and went in at the first break ten points up.

By half time, the game was over with the Sharks leading by 40 points.

Langwarrin rallied in the second half; however, it wasn’t enough to

bridge the gap, going down 14.10 (94) to 8.9 (57).

Corey McQueen booted three goals for the Sharks while the stars including Ricky Ferraro, Shane McDonald, Anthony Raso, Paul Rebeschini, Dylan Jones and Jackson Casey all dominated.

Nick Tuddenham was again in the best for the Kangas in only his fourth game, while usual campaigners in Dan Wehner, Michael Parker and Jarryd Amalfi worked tirelessly.

Once again, it has been proven that the Kangas are a long way off the top four sides of the competition.

Mt Eliza replaced Langwarrin in the top five after smashing Chelsea to the tune of 63 points.

The Redlegs took control of the match early and extended their lead at every change, winning 20.7 (127) to 9.10 (64).

Scott Lockwood booted five goals while Benny Lean played his best game for some time with four majors.

Bryce Hayes and Zallec White aren’t names we know a lot about but they too were dominant for the Redlegs on Saturday, as were seasoned campaigners Darren Booth and Rohan Heasley.

Robbie Lancaster and Todd Gardiner were the best of the Gulls, as was Jason Clark, who rarely plays a bad game.

Pines took a while to shake off Karingal on Saturday but still managed to get the four points, winning 10.14 (74) to 4.16 (40).

Guy and Beau Hendry booted five goals between them while Jamie Messina and Adam Ludewig dominated.

Scores were locked at 4.8 (32) apiece at half time before the Pythons booted 6.6 to eight behinds after the break.

George Angelopolous was the Bulls’ best with two goals while Michael Burke and Aaron Paxton also worked hard.

In the final game, Frankston YCW worked over Seaford, winning 14.15 (99) to 6.9 (45).

The Tigers did well to go with the Stonecats in the first half with only 12 points separating the sides at the break.

However, with Kyle Hutchison and Jai Coghlan celebrating milestone games, the Stonecats turned up the heat after the long break and dominated the next hour.

Byron and Anthony Barry were outstanding in the win, while Riley Hodson and Craig Nankervis were also dominant.

Aaron Walton booted two goals and was Seaford’s best, while Brad Doyle and Josh Stokes were also among the votes.

Violence mars games FRANKSTON YCW Football Club launched an investigation into an incident that saw Josh Westerman left unconscious, carried from the ground and taken away by ambulance, in their match against Bonbeach two weeks ago.

There is video of the incident.

Despite three field umpires, goal umpires and boundary umpires, a report was not made in the incident.

A melee followed the incident and in the melee, Bonbeach defender Jason Ferraro was sent from the field. He was not reported.

It is alleged that Ferraro was the player involved in the Westerman incident.

Bonbeach has also launched an investigation into Frankston YCW crowd behaviour at half time and three quarter time.

The incident saw MPNFL Legend Kenny Sole, who has a son Jackson running around with the Sharks, assaulted by members of the crowd.

It is believed that police charges will be laid in both incidents.

500th up for Ryan

MPNFL star and Pines coach Steve Ryan played his 500th game on Saturday.

Ryan, who played AFL with Richmond and Collingwood, was a premiership player at Pines and a premiership coach at Rye. As well as 500 games, he has kicked more than 770 goals.

Now Anthony and his wife Rhonda have thriving business based in Mornington that continues to grow strong and evolve with the times.

Keeping it real in the real estate world AS the name suggests, Vendor Partners is no ordinary real estate agency, giving vendors the choice to be more actively involved in the real estate process.

Director, Mike Kazacos, explains that this is the way of the future.

A licensed Agent and Director of Vendor Partners, Mike says this is a viable alternative to the traditional real estate model, achieving the optimum sales price for a property, while saving vendors thousands of dollars.

“The internet has changed the way companies do business and no more so than in real estate,” says Mike. “In the majority of cases, real estate portals have replaced the agent’s window and buyers have more interaction and do more research online.”

Vendor Partners, a well-established agency in Mt Eliza for five years, has taken the concept one step further to help vendors save money and provide greater transparency in the negotiation process.

“We offer a range of options for vendors. Our most hands on model allows the vendor to show potential buyers through their property and negotiate the sale, while we play a supportive, administrative role. But the most preferred option is that we do everything required, with the exception of hosting the inspection process. We liaise and negotiate with interested buyers after the vendor has shown them their home,” says Mike.

“Of course we still offer a full service when required.”

With a constantly evolving and changing role for real estate agents, the next step for Vendor Partners is to allow vendors and purchasers to see their property dealings online so everyone is treated fairly and equally.

“We are modifying our existing website to allow buyers to put their offers directly to the vendors online. We can register a buyer’s interest, monitor communication and manage the negotiation process. This new website should be up and running in a few months, allowing greater transparency for both buyers and sellers, wherever they may be located.” says Mike.

For a real estate agency that looks to the future, will save you money and offers a real and viable alternative to the traditional real estate model, contact the team at Vendor Partners on 9775 2722 or Mike Kazacos on 0422 608 801.

Mike is a Licensed Estate Agent and a Director of Vendor Partners, an Agency he created in response to changing consumer behavior and needs. He has a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Surveying and over the past 35 years, has worked in service related industries, owned a couple of businesses and developed the mature and practiced skill set required to negotiate successful sales outcomes.

Adrian is a graduate of The Peninsula School and has an Applied Marketing Degree (Hons) from RMIT. He provides considerable IT support to the business and manages a comprehensive buyer’s database matching buyer needs to listings. He works on specific marketing campaigns that fall outside of traditional needs.

Trisha has a strong customer service background and innate people skills which provide the necessary prerequisites for a successful agent.

As a long-term resident of Mount Eliza, she knows local real estate and the many benefits of living on the peninsula. A lateral thinker, Trisha has resolved many seemingly impassable objections from buyers and generated successful results for her clients.

Sandy manages the office environment and has worked behind the scenes providing essential administrative support for her colleagues for many years. Her amazing memory, attention to detail and prompt action ensures that all matters are planned, scheduled and followed up as required.

VendorPartners Low Fixed Fee Real Estate at its very best

Now there’s no reason to pay more to achieve a great result when selling your property We employ an ethical sales model to ensure: O We achieve the optimum sales price for your property O Transparency during the sales and negotiation process O Minimal stress levels for our clients.

We charge a low fixed fee for service and of course, work on a ‘no sale-no charge’ basis.

Fixed Fee $6,450 • FIXED FEE FOR SERVICE • NO SALE = NO CHARGE • NO HIDDEN EXTRAS • NO COMMISSIONS • FLEXIBLE MARKETING PROGRAMS

“Mike Kazacos certainly dispelled our negative perceptions of estate agents.

His sincere, respectful manner was so refreshing.

We appreciated his professional, enthusiastic approach, the level of communication and negotiation skills.

Importantly we trusted the expert advice all of which combined to achieve an excellent sales result. We couldn’t have asked for more.”

“We had a truly flawless experience and the sale went as smoothly as one could wish for.

We received great customer service from Trisha Dyer and were truly, very well looked after throughout the process.

We would highly recommend Vendor Partners as a top end real estate agent.”

Dare to dream at Mornington Secondary College MRS Sarah Burns, Principal of Mornington Secondary College, predicts that 2014 will be another significant year for the college.

“The school has come such a long way over recent years; we are now regarded as the school of the Mornington area. We have worked hard to build our reputation in the local community and we have every reason to be proud of our students and their wonderful achievements this year.”

state level.”

“In 2014, we are the number one school in the state in Cross Country and number two in swimming.”

The college is preparing to present a production of Fame, the Musical and this has attracted the involvement of over one hundred students.

“Whatever a student’s interest, there is a club or activity to engage them, whether it be music, art,

sport, community or student leadership.”

“Academically, we place a high emphasis on literacy and numeracy and there are strong pathways to a wide range of VCE, VCAL and VET programs. Our students are winning national awards in the fields of Art, Maths and Science and our destination data at the end of Year 12 is very strong.”

“We offer very broad programs for our stu-

dents – they have an opportunity to go through and get a top ATAR or pick up an apprenticeship or a VET certificate. It doesn’t matter what a student’s aspiration may be: they have an opportunity to do so much here. It’s about providing opportunities both within and outside the classroom that suits each student as an individual and makes them want to stay at school.

We encourage our students to Dare to Dream.”

Podiatrist puts your best foot forward LOCAL podiatrist Dale Brown is excited to announce that he is now consulting for his new clinic Frankston and Peninsula Podiatry, located at Mornington Village Medical Centre and Beachbox Physiotherapy, Seaford.

Dale was born and raised in Mornington, and he is now raising his own young family in the area.

He has been working in Mornington for almost a decade now and he is excited to commence work in a multidisciplinary environment, alongside doctors, physiotherapists, and other health professionals.

Dale has vast experience in all aspects of podiatry, and he has worked in both public and private practice, providing treatment for people aged from six months to 107 years old, and from the sedentary to high level athletes He is able to treat a variety of conditions, from painful corns and callous, to sports injuries, and heel pain, as well as general nail cutting for anyone who struggles themselves. Diabetes is also a big part of podiatric foot care, as it can often lead to complications. Diabetes foot assessments should be conducted at a minimum of every 12 months to help stay on top of any problems which may occur.

Dale has previously worked for the Dandenong Stingrays football team, providing assessment and treatment for some of today’s AFL stars. He is currently the consultant podiatrist for the Mornington Peninsula Falcons, and their Victorian League Hockey teams, and to Seaford United Soccer Club.

He was also mentioned as the go to podiatrist in Melbourne by journalist Stephanie Darling in The Age. “The best part about working in podiatry is the feeling you get when people walk in and you can see pain in their faces, but by the time they walk out they often have a skip in their step and are walking comfortably,” said Dale.

Dale Brown PODIATRIST

has moved…

After 10 years of practising podiatry in the local area, Dale Brown is now providing diagnosis and treatment for all your foot care needs from Mornington Village Medical Centre as well as Beachbox Physiotherapy in Seaford.

Time to give your car a post-winter check NOW that the worst of the winter weather is over, bring your car in for a good check-up and make sure it is in good working order for the coming warmer months.

According to the RACV website, the most common problem affecting motorists during warmer months is an overheating engine, but a few simple checks can reduce your risk of being stranded.

The pre-summer checklist should include not only the radiator and cooling system, but also the electrical system, brakes and tyres, plus an overall â&#x20AC;&#x153;spring cleanâ&#x20AC;?.

Cooling system TOP up your radiator coolant to the required level, taking care to add the correct amount of coolant mixture as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Check all radiator hoses (including heater hoses) for firmness, replace any that are spongy or leaking, and keep spares of the main hoses and belts in the boot for emergencies.

The fan belt and any other drive belts, such as for air-conditioning or power steering, need to be inspected thoroughly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for fraying and correct tension â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so they do not slip, and any belts that are even slightly frayed should be replaced.

Electrical BATTERIES manufactured today are maintenance free but you should check the water levels and top them up if necessary. Use distilled water â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

never use tap water as it will harm the battery.

Routine maintenance should include removing any corrosion from the battery terminals, which can then be smeared with petroleum jelly to slow the corrosion process. An added

precaution is to wipe the high tension leads, spark plugs and distributor cap with a dry cloth.

Tyres ALL tyres, including the spare, must be properly inflated to cope with the demands of long trips and hot

weather. Check the pressures when the tyres are cold.

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

remove the guesswork.

Uneven wearing of tyres may indicate a fault with the steering, suspension or wheel alignment, and these items should be checked if in doubt.

Brakes CONSULT a brake specialist if the car has a tendency to pull to one side when braking, if the brake pedal goes too close to the floor or has any other symptoms that seem unusual.

Check the hand brake as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; park the car on a hill, put it in neutral and, if it does not hold firm on the handbrake, have it checked and adjusted.

Clean lights and windows CAR windows should always be kept clean, as dirty glass can drastically reduce the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision when heading towards oncoming headlights or a low sun. Dirt increases the effect of glare.

Exterior dirt is easy to wash off, but it can be a constant battle to keep the inside of the glass free from the hazy film that builds up when a car is parked in the sun.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;hazeâ&#x20AC;? can usually be wiped off with a chamois, methylated spirits, or most domestic glass or general cleaners, but there is no magic formula to eliminate the problem altogether.

For good visbllity, keep the windscreen washer bottle topped up, and clean all lights and lenses.
