Trading in Mornington!

MOOROODUC TIMBER & HARDWARE History of Moorooduc Timber IT was in late 1951 that Cliff Goding could see the need for more apple cases. Fruit exported to Sydney and Brisbane meant cases were being lost to the area. He made contact with Bob Parnell who had a small mill on Moorooduc Road, Moorooduc.

As a result of the meeting, Moorooduc Sawmills was started, a partnership of Bob Parnell, Cliff Goding and Harry Goding. An old sawmill in Cardinia Road, Berwick, was purchased. This was transported to a one-acre site bought from Bob’s father at the corner of Bentons Road and Moorooduc Highway in Moorooduc (now the site of Peninsula Truck Parts).

To drive the mill, a new 40hp crude oil engine with a single 200mm piston was purchased from McDonalds Tractors. Local pines that had been farm windbreaks were purchased for milling.

After the mill was established, many enquiries were received for OB hardwood framing timber.

Due to the black market of the day, building materials were in short supply so logs were sourced from Marysville and Gippsland from private landholders. Demand increased and more staff were employed with about 10 men working in the mill. To meet this demand, an improved office and shed containing flooring and mouldings were built.

DISASTER. FIRE! FIRE! In 1955 the new shed and office was burnt out, which was a big kick in the guts. However with cooperation from the Shire of Mornington and builders, construction began on new buildings within a fortnight. As the business was growing, new lines were added including pine lining and flooring, weatherboards, jarrah, corrugated iron, wire fence products, cement, canite, masonite, cement sheets, concrete stumps, redgum, KD hardwood and hardware. The mill was also expanded to include a thicknesser, buzzer and docker, some of which we continue to operate to this day.

The sawmill was closed in 1958 as better quality timber could be bought cheaper than we could mill it. The sawmill site essentially became a timber yard. The timber was cut to our orders, meaning less waste. House lots of timber were ordered from various country mills and delivered directly to site. The 1950s and 1960s heralded the arrival of the chicken industry to the region, resulting in an increased demand for heavy redgum, OB hardwood, corrugated iron and cement sheet.

Expansion to Mornington was on the agenda.

Cliff Goding’s son, Brian, joined the business in July 1959 after working for 10 years on the

family farm and orchard owned by his father and uncle Harry. In 1960 a downturn was looming.

Two timber yards were already operating in Mornington, meaning we could be squeezed out. To meet this challenge, our present site on the Nepean Highway in Mornington was purchased from Reg Cakebread and we opened in July 1960, changing our name to Moorooduc Timber and Hardware. The two sites operated for four years until the Moorooduc sawmill site was eventually closed down, while Mornington continued to thrive. The rear Yuilles Road block was purchased, making Moorooduc Timber the largest timber supplier in Mornington. Five large new steel sheds were erected to store the extensive range of new species and types of timber in a professional manner. A machine shop and panel saw facility was also added, complemented by a large hardware store.

In 1980, after years of using a cumbersome mobile four-tonne Fowler crane to unload trucks, Brian eventually persuaded Cliff to purchase our first forklift, a new two-tonne Komatsu. This saved a lot of time and labour and has since been increased to three forklifts over time. This generational change came about after much discussion.

Brian’s son Michael Goding joined the business in November 1982, meaning three generations worked here at once. A six-tonne Isuzu truck was purchased in 1984 after putting up with Austin and Bedford petrol trucks that always seemed to be broken down or out of action. The first Isuzu was so good that another was purchased in 1985. We have upgraded the fleet with Isuzus ever since.

The business was restructured in the early 1980s with the passing of Harry Goding and retirement of Bob Parnell. Brian undertook this financially daunting task with Cliff’s assistance.

Moorooduc Timber was now exclusively in the hands of the Goding family.

In July 1985, Cliff returned from holidays. Brian then lured him to the timber yard and surprised him with virtually the entire yard and sheds newly paved. He was impressed. However, that night he suffered chest pains and called the ambulance. Tragically he died the next day.

Cliff gave wonderful leadership and foresight in establishing the business and seeing that it ran smoothly.

In the mid-1980s we were using one of our factories in adjoining Pentecost Road for storage. Ian Ellis had the brainwave to put a large door at the rear of the warehouse opening onto

the timber yard. Ian did all of the work on this project, which is now able to store all surplus timber and cement products in this watertight facility.

Weekend trading took on a different dimension in these times. As was the norm, most timber yards closed for the weekend at Saturday lunchtime. If the customer didn’t have what they wanted by then, they would have to wait until Monday. Come midday, desperate customers could often be seen trying to get those extra few lengths of timber to finish their jobs, while one of Brian’s children, as young as 12 years old,

would nervously hold the front door closed.

In the 1980s and 1990s we had a period where five staff worked together for 19 years. They were Bob White (driver), Ian Ellis (driver), Kevin Moulding (hardware/sales), Michael Goding (yard manager) and Brian Goding (manager). Construction of houses and commercial buildings continued throughout this period. Merchant Builders became a huge customer. They were wonderful people to deal with as were so many of our growing number of customers.

In 1997 Brian’s son Richard joined the business. As Moorooduc Timber had been steadily growing, the workload for Brian and Michael was stretching them a little, so the timing couldn’t have been any better. In 2000, computers were introduced after years of handwriting invoices. Computer speed and efficiency transformed every facet of the business. Innovations in timber production meant that old staples such as Oregon, OB hardwood and wet grade sawn treated pine were on the decline. This was demonstrated by the decision to cease milling Oregon after 30 years.

Better quality kiln dried (KD) treated pine, preprimed LOSP design pine, cypress, laminated timbers and KD hardwoods were coming to the fore. A greater variety of timber species was also becoming readily available. Merbau became a huge part of sales to the flourishing outdoor/ backyard market. Our range has increased as such to include 11 different sizes of merbau steps, decking, posts and screening. This was supplemented by native species such as Spotted gum, Redgum, and Tasmanian Oak.

Richard Goding, left, Mark Goding, Michael Goding and Brian Goding.

This year Moorooduc Timber is celebrating 60 years. In that time, nine separate timber and hardware suppliers have come and gone from Mornington. The arrival of Bunnings and Masters has made us more determined than ever to provide superior service, range and quality of products. Moorooduc Timber, through The Goding Foundation, also continue to support the local community through local and national charity projects.

‘Archie’ comes to town

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery will host next year’s travelling exhibition of finalists in the prestigious Archibald Prize.

This year’s Archibald exhibition was at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Healesville and brought an estimated $4 million to the town in the Yarra Valley. The exhibition was at TarraWarra last year, too.

Works by the 41 Archibald finalists were on display for a month from 8 June to 8 July and drew more than 50,000 people to Healesville.

The month-long exhibition in Mornington in 2013 will attract art lovers from around the state and Melbourne, and bring millions of dollars to the peninsula’s economy.

It also will expose the delights of the peninsula to people who have not previously visited the region.

The Archibald Prize is conducted by the Art Gallery of NSW. It is regarded as Australia’s foremost portraiture award and attracts national interest and controversy.

Susanne Briggs of the Art Gallery of NSW confirmed MPRG would be the only Victorian gallery to host the Archibald exhibition.

MPRG director Jane Alexander said Mornington Peninsula Shire would make a formal announcement about the Archibald next year.

MPRG is seen in the art world as a gallery that punches well above its weight.

Recent successful exhibitions have included Sea of dreams: The lure of Port Phillip Bay 1830-1914, Controversy: The power of art, and exhibitions of work by Ivan Durrant, Robin Boyd, Louis Buvelot and Jeffrey Smart.

Established in 1969 by the Shire of Mornington as Mornington Peninsula Arts Centre, its first home was a house in Vancouver St, Mornington, later demolished and now a car park behind the library and shire office.

It moved to the council-owned Victorian-era house Oak Hill on Mornington-Tyabb Rd in 1971. The existing gallery in Civic Reserve was

built in 1991 and opened by then premier John Cain. Oak Hill is now a community art gallery.

One of the driving forces behind the gallery’s establishment in 1969 was artist, art critic and author Alan McCulloch of Shoreham, who was its director 1979-1992.

As has occurred at TarraWarra, the exhibition coming to Mornington will present major logistical challenges.

Limited parking in Healesville has seen use of shuttle buses from distant parking areas and a similar scheme will need to be used at Mornington.

Marquees will likely be erected in

the grounds to service patrons.

The exhibition in Healesville saw long queues of patrons waiting to enter the gallery.

News of the Archibald exhibition follows the outgoing president of the Friends of the gallery expressing disappointment at the slow pace of a promised expansion.

Emeritus Professor Boris Schedvin, in his final report to the Friends’ annual meeting in June, said “my disappointment is that so little progress has been made in the mooted redevelopment of the gallery�. “Almost five years ago [Mornington Peninsula] Shire initiated a planning process for the Civic Reserve. Planning for the redevelopment of the gallery was part of that process,� he said. “Despite a considerable amount of work by the previous and current

director, there is little current prospect of tangible progress. “Financing is the roadblock. “As I write, it appears that the [Southern Peninsula] Aquatic Centre at Rosebud will absorb the shire’s capital funds for an extended period. “I wish the incoming committee well in supporting the gallery’s quest for adequate facilities.�

No plans for the gallery are included in stage one of the implementation of the shire’s long-term master plan for Civic Reserve.

The first stage includes an upgrade of David Collings Leisure Centre to create space for gymnastic, table tennis, childcare, meeting rooms and administration, and a new 12-court tennis complex for Mornington Tennis Club.

“It was a fantastic, first-time experience for the musicians, audience and listeners,” RPP-FM’s classical music director Antony Ransome said.

“We haven’t used the performance studio for a classical recital before, but it worked beautifully.

“The studio was big enough for the performers as well as a small audience. It was exciting to share the concert with our radio audience and has huge possibilities for the future.

“We are indebted to the performers who donated their time to help us make best use of our new Mornington facilities as well as Bernies Music Land, which loaned us a grand piano.”

Cup day hits $1m in prizes NEXT year’s Mornington Cup will be the Victoria’s first regional race day to offer $1 million or more in prizemoney.

From 2013, cup contestants will be racing for a share of $350,000 as well as ballot exemption from the BMW Caulfield Cup later that year.

Melbourne Racing Club chairman Mike Symons said the Mornington Cup was now “the most important on the national racing calendar to be held outside a metropolitan area”.

The club also announced a $50,000 increase on the cup’s total prize pool.

“The prizemoney boost further indicates the benefit of the amalgamation of the Melbourne and Mornington clubs, and comes in the wake of the Australian Pattern Committee’s recommendation that the $250,000 Inglis Premier – part of the Mornington Cup day undercard and won this year by Snitzerland en route to placing in the Golden Slipper – be granted restricted listed status,” Mr Symons said.

“The Melbourne Racing Club is underpinned by a desire to provide our members and stakeholders, as well as participants and punters, with unparalleled standards in our racing product and associated services.

“The increase in prizemoney for the Centrebet Mornington Cup, and across the entire day, serves to satisfy that desire.

“It should also make the cup, notwithstanding the BMW Caulfield

Cup ballot exemption, an even more appealing race for trainers across the country, where the richest country cups peak at around half of the Mornington Cup in prizemoney value.”

Mr Symons said the prize offered by the cup “throws out a real challenge to the strong stables from interstate – Chris Waller, Gai Waterhouse and company – to come and race at Mornington”.

Mornington Racing Club advisory group chairman Tony Hancy said the Mornington course “is now considered by many to be the Mornington Peninsula’s premier entertainment venue”.

“The consequences of this not only benefit the club and our members, sponsors and race day guests, but also the community and commercial sector of the wider peninsula.”

Mornington Cup day is one of seven metropolitan-standard race meetings being held at Mornington in season 2012-13.

Trackside attraction: Melbourne Racing Club hopes increased prizemoney will lure to trainers to the Mornington Cup.

Happy hikers: The 10 members of Peninsula Bushwalking Club who made the 30-kilometre trek from McCrae to Cape Schanck.

A day’s hike across the peninsula TEN members of Peninsula Bushwalking Club spent a recent Saturday hiking from McCrae lighthouse to Cape Schanck lighthouse.

On previous occasions, many club members had completed the walk in two halves, but this was the first attempt to complete the entire distance in a day.

Starting in half light at 7am, the party set out along the coast to the start of the Two Bays Walking Track near Anthonys Nose at McCrae.

“A steady climb up Arthurs Seat is the hardest part of the route, but presented rewarding views across Port

Phillip as the sun cast its first light,” club member John Trevillian said.

“Kangaroos and birdlife were abundant and the winter wattles, golden in the bright sunshine, accompanied them all day.”

Mr Trevillian said the 30-kilometre walk was “probably the longest distance any of the party had covered in a day”.

“With the final six kilometres still to go, it was a welcome sight when the party was met by two more club members who treated them to a welcome bush afternoon tea.

“Finally at about 3.30pm the group

emerged from one of the peninsula’s most attractive walks.

“With Cape Schanck lighthouse in the background, there were many congratulatory handshakes and thoughts of a relaxing shower.”

Mr Trevillian said that not all club walks were as long or as challenging “but these walkers were all seasoned bushwalking club members”.

The club holds day walks and overnight walks all over Victoria. For details go to www.peninsulabushwalkingclub. org.au or email peninsulabushwalking club@hotmail.com

Meter worries go to councils

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors Tim Rodgers and Leigh Eustace, and Frankston councillor Glenn Aitken and will ask their colleagues to support anti-smart meter moves.

The three were among more than 80 people at a protest meeting at Seaford Hall.

Organised by Cr Aitken, attendees voted unanimously for a 10-point recommendation calling for the rollout of socalled smart meters to be stopped as well as related actions.

Included in the recommendation was a call for the councils to support the anti-meter movement.

Cr Aitken said he would take the meeting’s concerns to full council later this month.

Cr Eustace confirmed to The Times he and Cr Rodgers would do the same thing at the next meeting of the shire council.

The Seaford meeting was the latest in a battle between consumers versus the state government and the five power retailers, Powercor Australia, SP Ausnet, United Energy Distribution, Citipower, and Jemena.

The key objection to smart meters is the claim of people feeling ill due to electromagnetic emissions caused by the meters sending data via a pulse to a power company.

Cr Aitken said activists in the United Kingdom had forced the government to make installation of smart meters voluntary instead of compulsory as it was in Victoria.

He said states in the United States and the Netherlands also were considering an opt-in system.

Cr Aitken said the meeting called for the government to halt the rollout until there had been a full investigation into community concerns.

Other elements of the recommendation are:  Householders should have the right to refuse smart meters.

 Remove smart meters from homes where people were experiencing health problems caused by the meters.  Premier Ted Baillieu and Minister for Energy Michael O’Brien to meet with representatives of the anti-smart meter movement.  An investigation into the alleged bullying of householders by smart meter installers.  The meeting also called for action to remove the GST from electricity and gas bills.

On 31 July, Energy Safe Victoria released its final report on the safety of smart meters, but Stop Smart Meters Australia said there had been no attempt to address the problem of the health impacts of smart meters.

“The issue of possible health effects received little mention in the report, simply concluded the subject was ‘beyond the detailed scope’ of the report and emissions were ‘well below the safe levels set by ARPANSA’.”

The government and power companies have stated the meters, which will be installed in all Victorian homes and businesses by the end of 2013, were compliant with the electromagnetic exposure limits developed by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.

Stop Smart Meters says ARPANSA standards are only designed for protection against immediate thermal hazards (tissue heating) at high intensity exposures and not against cumulative biological effects from low intensity exposures.

Don Maisch, a spokesman for Stop Smart Meters, said: “People at Energy Safe Victoria have obviously decided the health issue is in the too-hard basket and better left ignored.

He said ESV had not adequately addressed concerns in its final report.

“The final report is cavalier and short on substance. It ignores its duty of care. At best it is a lame whitewash; at worst, a cruel insult to the many Victorians who made submissions.”

Food plan: Eastern Food Alliance director Mark Davis and Tania Treasure at the Careers and Jobs Expo in Mornington on Wednesday 15 August.

Alliance plans to ‘rescue’ food AN organisation that plans to “rescue” unwanted food and distribute it to needy families is considering sites in Mornington for a warehouse and distribution centre.

Eastern Food Alliance director Keith Kasimiotis said the organisation planned to work with charities to distribute food to the needy.

He claimed the group sorted 800kg of food each week at a warehouse in Kilsyth in Melbourne’s east and worked with more than 60 charities.

“We are proposing a similar arrangement on the peninsula to start in February 2013,” he said.

The alliance planned to use volunteer workers and offer training to unemployed people and school students.

Mornington Peninsula Shire business development officer Tania Treasure said the shire had not been in any discussions with Eastern Food Alliance.

MP supports change for Clean Ocean

By Keith Platt FEDERAL MP Greg Hunt has praised the decision by Clean Ocean Foundation to shift its focus from the Gunnamatta sewage outfall to potential environmental effects from the desalination plant at Kildcunda, near Wonthaggi.

Mr Hunt, MP for Flinders and Opposition spokesman on climate action, environment and heritage, said the desalination plant was “the most costly and environmentally damaging option to secure Melbourne’s water supply”.

“I am greatly concerned about the impact of the plant’s outfall on marine life, particularly migratory whales, and will continue to work closely with the local community on this issue,” Mr Hunt said.

A long-time supporter of Clean Ocean, Mr Hunt made no comment on the acrimonious dispute set in train by revelations by the foundation’s former CEO James Clark-Kennedy that it would be wound up.

Mr Clark-Kennedy last month emailed a letter to Mr Hunt and many others, accusing Clean Ocean’s president Peter Smith of wanting to end the organisation without first asking paidup members (‘Clean Ocean bows out’, The News 31/7/12).

Mr Clark-Kennedy was sent an email by Mr Smith on Saturday 14 July saying his “contracted services” as CEO were no longer required.

He said the email was sent a day after a meeting of the Clean Ocean committee had decided to wind up its operations.

End in sight: Flinders MP Greg Hunt, right, and the Clean Ocean Foundation believe the time is right to move attention away from the Gunnamatta sewage outfall, left, and take on the ocean pollution potential of the desalination plant at Kilcunda, near Wonthaggi.

Mr Smith said a decision for the foundation to continue efforts to stop pollution of the sea would continue from an office at Wonthaggi (‘Clean Ocean aims at Bass Coast’, The News 14/8/12).

The decision had followed “a period of necessary introspection”, which would see the closure of the foundation’s Rosebud office and his wish to remain on the committee, but not as president.

Mr Clark-Kennedy last week released copies of emails from Mr Smith to back up his claims that members of the Clean Ocean committee had voted to wind-up the organisation.

One of the emails was sent to seven people approached by Mr ClarkKennedy as prospective committee members.

In an email dated Saturday 14 July, Mr Smith stated that the Clean Ocean Foundation management committee

had passed a unanimous resolution “to proceed in winding up the foundation”.

A second email to “committee, associated and friends” provided the same information, but added that he, Mr Smith, had given authority to deal with several issues involved in the wind-up of the foundation.

“While we understand however that this may not be acceptable to everybody it is however an unanimous decision of the committee,” Mr Smith stated.

“The process will take some time and may require some input from those of you who have been more closely involved.”

Since then, Mr Smith has said the foundation will continue “as normal” until a general meeting is held later this year.

It is understood Mr Hunt’s statement of support followed discussions with Mr Smith.

Ready to vote in October ANYONE who has recently turned 18 can enrol to vote in the 27 October municipal elections by the end of this month.

“Australian citizens who have recently turned 18 years of age or have moved and have not yet updated their address are being urged to enrol to vote in the upcoming Mornington Peninsula Shire Council elections,” acting electoral commissioner Liz Williams said.

“Anyone aged 18 years or older who is not enrolled must do so by the close of rolls at 4pm on Friday 31 August.”

Ms Williams said voters already on the roll could update their details using the online application at vec.vic.gov.au “However, those who are enrolling for the first time, changing their name or who do not have a driver licence will need to print and sign their form and have it witnessed before returning it.”

Enrolment forms can be downloaded from vec. vic.gov.au and also are available at any Australia Post outlet or Centrelink office.

Frankston City Libraries

There are enrolment categories for owners, occupiers, company nominees and non-Australian citizens who pay rates. For details, call the shire on 5950 1370.

Voters can check their enrolment details by viewing the exhibition roll from Monday 27 August at the shire office at 2 Queen St, Mornington or 90 Besgrove St, Rosebud.

More information on enrolment is available at vec.vic.gov.au or by calling the VEC’s enrolment hotline on 1300 805 478.

“News that the Clean Ocean Foundation will continue the fight to improve our marine environment and broaden its focus to include the desalination plant is welcome,” Mr Hunt stated.

“Cleaning up the Gunnamatta sewage outfall has been a major focus of mine for many years. Discharging 150 billion litres of waste water a year into the ocean at a significantly polluted level is unacceptable.

“I am delighted that with the tertiary upgrade to the Eastern Treatment Plant well underway, we are nearing the end of that community campaign.

“I am committed to a National Ocean Outfalls Plan. If elected to government, I will work with the states to ensure each of our outfalls is cleaned up to an acceptable standard and that water is recycled for industry and agriculture. I hope to continue to work with the Clean Ocean Foundation on this plan.

“The Clean Ocean Foundation’s focus on the Kilcunda desalination plant will strengthen the community’s voice in calling for greater scrutiny of the environmental impacts of this plant.

“In choosing to go ahead with the desalination plant, the former Brumby government chose the most costly and environmentally damaging option to secure Melbourne’s water supply.

“I am greatly concerned about the impact of the plant’s outfall on marine life, particularly migratory whales, and will continue to work closely with the local community on this issue.”

Mr Hunt also welcomed the foundation’s ongoing commitment to “our Clean Up Port Phillip Bay campaign”.

Parks a govt development target

By David Harrison TOURIST development in Victoria’s parks – including Arthurs Seat, Greens Bush and Point Nepean parks on the peninsula – is almost certainly on the state government’s agenda following its controversial plan to open green wedge zones for business.

The state government agenda could include a revival of the notorious Kennett government’s “hotels in parks” plan.

Under this scheme, then conservation minister Marie Tehan proposed a 150-bed licensed lodge for Tidal River at Wilsons Promontory and a 45-bed serviced lodge and four huts for the use of commercial operations in remote areas of the park.

It led to fierce and widespread public opposition that saw the plan dropped.

Extensive work has already been done developing Point Nepean National Park. It is one of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s top tourist priorities – “accommodation, conferencing and marine infrastructure at Point Nepean”. A boutique hotel has been mooted.

Speculation about the Baillieu government’s further plans to open up Victoria for tourism stems from the main wellspring of Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s proposals for the green wedge – the 2011 report Unlocking Victorian Tourism by Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission.

Under the heading “Key messages” the report states: “National parks are a popular destination for interstate and international visitors but a lack of quality accommodation on or near these parks diminishes their value to the community.

“The commission recommends the government remove the prohibition on private development of tourist facilities in national parks where they provide a net benefit and complement

environmental, heritage and other values.”

The Labor government-initiated inquiry was chaired by economist Dr Matthew Butlin, assisted by Deborah Cope and Bill Mountford, also economists.

Understandably, their report focuses strongly on the economic aspects of tourist development.

In its introduction the report states: “... the growing wealth in Asia (especially China and India) has produced strong growth in inbound tourism to Australia and Victoria from these destinations, thus creating opportunities for tourism-related businesses in Victoria.

“As a result the tourism market is changing. To capitalise on the new opportunities that arise from these changes, tourism businesses need to be able to respond and adapt.”

It argues “The Victorian government can directly influence the competitiveness of tourism-related businesses ... through the way it manages state-owned attractions such as the national parks, forests and sporting and cultural facilities.”

“Regulatory hotspots” the VCEC focuses on include:  Land use planning regulation and administration.  Regulations relating to the use of public land, especially state and national parks.

It identifies the peninsula as the seventh-most popular tourist destination for visitors to Victoria, behind the Queen Victoria Market and ahead of Ballarat/Sovereign Hill, Bendigo and Phillip Island.

The report gives the Baillieu government impressive expert opinion to support plans for park development.

The VCEC report was preceded by a Howard government plan to open up

national parks to private operators.

In July 2007 the then minister for tourism, Fran Bailey, told the ABC she wanted “to get commercial tourism operators involved in developing facilities in national parks”.

Months later federal Labor took office and the “partnership” has not been heard of since.

Mr Guy’s green wedge and other rural zone proposals strongly echo the VCEF recommendations that “regulatory barriers” to tourism ventures be removed by providing “more flexibility” in current zonings and local policies.

The VCEC says this flexibility would:  Allow a wider range of tourismrelated activities such as tourist accommodation, function centres, recreation facilities and restaurants.  Remove the requirement to undertake tourism-related activities “in conjunction with” specific activities such as agriculture.  Remove the arbitrary limits on the scale of tourism-related activities, such as the limits on B&B, restaurant and residential accommodation.

All this “flexibility” is provided in Mr Guy’s green wedge proposals, indicating clearly that he has studied and agrees with the VCEC approach.

Mr Guy is effectively proposing abolition of all the controls on green wedge land that ban large-scale development of accommodation and tourist-orientated businesses such as restaurants, convention centres and residential accommodation.

It is only a short step from opening up the green wedge to permitting the same businesses to establish in state and national parks.

Another critical consequence of Mr Guy’s green wedge proposals, whether intended or not, is that urban growth

boundaries, which clearly separate what is urban from what is green, are blurred almost to invisibility by permitting previously banned commercial activity on small lots abutting urban areas.

Mornington Peninsula Shire officers privately say they are horrified by, and will strongly oppose, Mr Guy’s changes to its valuable – economically and aesthetically – green wedge, which covers 70 per cent of the peninsula and is a substantial element in its attraction to tourists and locals.

The shire had not publicly voiced its opposition three weeks after the Guy plans were released.

There is also almost total silence from Labor and, more interestingly, from the Greens, for whom a matter seemingly aimed at emasculating green wedges protections should be reflexive.

An assault on parks in the shire – Arthurs Seat State Park is already compromised by the planned new chairlift – should stiffen its determination to oppose the Guy plans.

The chairlift group could apply for park access to build accommodation, restaurants, convention centres, a service station and possibly even a medical centre.

The shire’s current local planning scheme aims to:  “Protect and conserve the rural landscape and character of the peninsula as a major recreational resource for both the local and wider metropolitan community.”

(Mr Guy’s plans, and possible state government park plans, could make this almost impossible to achieve.)  “Support the continued agricultural use of land by avoiding the establishment of uses that may exclude or limit legitimate rural activities and farm management practice.”

(Green wedge and park land would come under severe pressure from developers keen to cash in on the Guy vision of the green wedge hosting facilities including medical centres, schools, abattoirs, service stations and largescale accommodation – many of them as-of-right, meaning no community right to object or appeal.)  “Promote the growth of major and township activity centres and avoid inappropriate out-of-centre commercial developments.”

(The shire has tried to control the growth of camping and caravan parks – currently a permitted use on green wedge land – by proposing limits to the number of sites per park and their proximity to urban areas. It so far has been unsuccessful.

Mr Guy’s plans would not only allow these parks but would encourage their development into de facto villages, complete with schools, stores and so on.

A problem all councils face is that caravan parks can become highly sought low-cost housing where state law gives people the right to permanent residence. Mr Guy, by permitting shops and the like in the green wedge, signals his approval for such developments.)

Current shire policy seeks to protect green wedge land by requiring that: Applicants for commercial development in the green wedge or farming zones “must demonstrate that their proposal addresses a need or gap in the tourist industry and is not dependent on the development of other residential or commercial activities on the site or in the locality.”

The state government’s plan, and possible incursion into national and state parks, almost certainly renders its current policy and the shire’s stillgestating Green Wedge Management Plan redundant if not utterly impotent.

Patients’ art diversion PATIENTS at Frankston Hospital’s dialysis unit are receiving art therapy while undergoing treatment.

Limited by the use of one arm and being connected for up to five hours at a time to a machine, patients are encouraged to allow space for selfreflection through art by painting, drawing, sculpture and visual stimulation with art journals.

The weekly two-hour Art in Dialysis program started in September 2011 and is paid for by Frankston Arts Centre and the Brotherhood of St Laurence.

An anonymous donor recently pledged money to keep the program running for another year.

“Painting is made more accessible for patients

with easels that attach to the hospital side tables or lap stands to hold the working canvas in place,” art therapist Melissa Lucas said.

“One patient is even sculpting the dialysis unit, slowly but surely bringing to life an original concept.”

Ms Lucas said the extra money meant patients can “devise a public outcome, book or documentary to share with the greater community on the work they have accomplished with art therapy at Frankston Hospital”.

THE 6.7km Arthurs Seat Challenge has been running each year since 2002, lifting the profile and raising money for the Fit to Drive Program.

Fit to Drive is a road safety awareness program provided to Year 11 students at every secondary school on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.

“It was the tragic loss of young life in car crashes in 1999 and 2000 in our community that saw the beginning of Fit to Drive, an initiative that was a direct and impassioned response from school principals who accepted the challenge of reducing the toll and helping to save young lives,” coordinator Michelle Pitcher said.

This year’s challenge starts at Rosebud pier at 8.30am on Sunday 11 November and finishes at the top of Arthurs Seat. Students of Mt Eliza Secondary College, Toorak College and Rosebud Secondary College as well as

school principals were at Arthurs Seat to launch the event on 1 August.

Also at the launch were Education Minister and Nepean MP Martin Dixon, representatives of event sponsors Mornington Peninsula News Group, Bendigo Bank Rye and Dromana, Nicholas Lynch Real Estate, Monash University, the Sports Injury Clinic and the Southern Peninsula Classic and Historic Car Club.

“The Arthurs Seat Challenge provides a fantastic opportunity for schools, families and community members to rally together and raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes, in the hope we can continue to make a difference and alleviate the pain road trauma causes,” Ms Pitcher said.

New mayor and councillor coordinator comes from SA

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s mayor and councillors have a new support team coordinator, the second in less than two years.

Megan Smith beat a field of more than 100 for the plum job.

She replaces Paula Creek, who has taken the role of wedding coordinator at Peppers Moonah Links Resort in Fingal. She was previously executive assistant to the commanding officer at HMAS Cerberus In February last year, Ms Creek replaced the legendary Pat Anderson,

who started with the Shire of Mornington in 1993. At her farewell she was photographed with nine former mayors and the 2011 mayor, Graham Pittock.

Ms Anderson, who has become a civil celebrant, was described as having a boundless knowledge of names and personalities on the peninsula.

Megan Smith, 26, previously worked for her stepfather, South Australian federal Liberal MP Patrick Secker.

Mr Secker made headlines in SA earlier this year for employing his wife Sharon, her daughter Megan Smith and Megan’s partner, Jared Newton, in an office of six people.

Soon after Mr Secker lost preselection for his safe seat of Barker, which he has held since 1998.

Mr Newton, 29, recently started working for Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt as a policy and communications officer at Mr Hunt’s office in Hastings.

Mr Newton returned to Crib Point Football Club in June and joined the club’s Reserves team, which he captained in 2005 and 2006. In SA he played with Imperial Football Club in the River Murray Football League. He is a prolific football blogger.

He worked for Liberal Senator Judith Troeth before moving to SA.

The shire’s job description for “Coordinator, mayor and councillor support team” stated it was “seeking an energetic, enthusiastic and highly experienced individual to be responsible for coordinating the activities of the mayor and councillors office with professionalism and diplomacy”.

“As coordinator you will lead a small team to provide a wide range of executive, secretarial and administrative support to the mayor and councillors.

You will be responsible and accountable for meeting agreed priorities and performance standards, and meeting strict schedules.”

There are three people on the mayor and councillors’ support team.

When Pat Anderson left last February, the support team was moved from governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck’s department to CEO Michael Kennedy’s office.

On Wednesday, the mayor Cr Frank Martin said he and deputy mayor Anne Shaw had met Ms Smith for a coffee.

“We are very pleased with the appointment; she is likeable and comes highly recommended,” he said.

None of the nine other councillors had any input into Ms Smith’s appointment.

Legal centre move marks anniversary PENINSULA Community Legal Centre has marked its 35th anniversary by moving into a new building.

While opening the new offices, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon said the legal centre’s “compassionate and committed team” helped “give the locals better legal and access to justice services”.

Ms Roxon said the centre would this year receive $664,000 through the federal government’s Community Legal Services Program.

The centre is one of the largest community legal centres in Australia, helping thousands of clients each year with free legal advice and ongoing assistance as well as undertaking community legal education and law reform activities.

In 2011, it was named legal organisation of the year at the Law Institute of Victoria President’s Awards.

“We estimate that over the course of the centre’s history, it has provided more than 100,000 free legal advices,” chief executive officer Helen Constas said.

“About 80 per cent of the centre’s clients have no or low income – less than $26,000 a year – and could not afford to pay for legal assistance.”

The centre began as Frankston North Legal Service in 1977 following a public meeting over the lack of free legal services.

A part-time advice and referral service was established with the support of Frankston Council and local lawyer and community volunteers.

Ms Constas described the relocation of the centre’s head office to 441 Nepean Highway, Frankston, as “the

Legal eagles: Attornery-General Nicola Roxon, Peninsula Community Legal Centre president Victoria Campbell and the centre’s CEO Helen Constas at the opening of its new offices.

Community Law Australia campaign spokesman Hugh de Kretser described the centre as “a leading example of the value and support that a community legal centre can offer to people in need”.

“People seeking help with issues like family violence, dodgy landlords, sorting out difficult family relationships or debt problems need somewhere to turn for quality legal advice,” Mr de Kretser said.

“Legal issues like these arise no matter what’s in your bank balance or your circumstances.”

realisation of a long-held dream of many”.

“I am delighted the centre now has premises that promote client dignity and privacy as well as affording a safe and pleasant working environment for volunteers and staff.

“While we are rightly proud of the high volume and high-quality services we provide, we are acutely aware of the continuing and unmet needs for free legal services in our community, and it is our mission to keep striving to advance justice in our community.”

Mr de Krester said research by the Australia Institute earlier this year conservatively estimated half a million Australians each year missed out on legal help, mainly for financial reasons.

“Community legal centres help people who don’t qualify for legal aid but can’t afford a private lawyer. Their expertise is free, however their time and resources are extremely stretched by the high level of demand.”

He said although the peninsula centre was one of the largest in Victoria “it faces major challenges in meeting the demand for help”.

“Attorney-General Nicola Roxon and Shadow Attorney-General George Brandis have both acknowledged that the issue of access is a vital one. We look forward to working with them to make equal access to the law a reality in Australia.”

The free legal services are aimed at helping disadvantaged clients with legal issues, either over the phone or in person at the centre’s head office in Frankston, branches in Bentleigh, Cranbourne, Frankston North and Rosebud or outreach services in Chelsea and Hastings and duty lawyer services at Frankston Magistrates’ Court and Dandenong Family Law Courts.

The centre operates specialist programs in family law, family violence and child support, as well as advocacy for vulnerable and disadvantaged tenants and consumers.

For more information about free legal services, call 9783 3600 or visit www.pclc.org.au

Health from food EATING your way to health is the theme behind a free food preparation event being held at The Briars Park.

Organised by Mornington Peninsula Shire, “Connecting Healthy People with Healthy Foods” on Saturday 1 September will show how to make bottled fruit preserves, a wicking basket for a portable vegetable garden, and traditional slow-cooked bread.

There will be a free basic cooking demonstration and attendees are encouraged to bring excess food to swap at Mornington Peninsula Food Swap.

Bookings are essential for the 10am-3pm Connecting Healthy People with Healthy Foods. Call 5950 1685 or email to: spcdadmin@ mornpen.vic.gov.au

Safety in numbers REFLECTIVE house numbers are free of charge at Mornington Peninsula Shire offices to encourage people to better identify their properties.

The shire has joined with police, Ambulance Victoria, the CFA and the SES to promote clear, visible numbers. Police and emergency services report that hidden and nonexistent house numbers make it difficult to find the correct address and waste precious seconds in emergency situations.

Owners and occupiers of all properties are required by law to have a street number properly affixed and displayed at the front of their property. Numbers should be reflective both day and night and be attached to a letterbox, post, board or boundary fence. Collect numbers at shire office at 2 Queen St, Mornington or 90 Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Wood surf class stays in shape

By Keith Platt HAWAIIANS used to surf with flat wooden boards. Early etchings dating from a visit by Captain James Cook show something not too dissimilar to a wooden ironing board.

Cook was killed by the Hawaiians on 14 February1779, during his second trip to the archipelago, which he called the Sandwich Islands.

The drawings of Hawaiians surfing were by one of Cook’s officers, Lieutenant James King, who wrote “they seem to feel a great pleasure in the motion that this exercise gives”.

King is credited with making the first written account of surfing.

Missionaries who eventually followed in Cook’s footsteps failed miserably to convince the Hawaiians that surfing was a sin.

The Hawaiians introduced Australians to the early forerunners of today’s short boards, which are made from a variety of chemical-based materials, all highly carcinogenic if eaten or in-

haled. But fibreglass, foam and resin work wonders.

They can be moulded, and are durable and light.

Surfboard design has evolved along with the availability and pliability of these materials.

It has long been a recognised irony that while most surfers care for the environment (they wish to surf clean water and appreciate healthy marine ecosystems), they have the petrochemical industry to thank for their equipment.

Balsa wood was used to shape surfboards before foam blanks became available, but the lightweight natural material soaked up water and had to be covered with fibreglass and resin.

Timber veneers have been glassed over foam to attain a natural look. In the end, about 90 per cent of the board remains the same – fibreglass, foam and resin.

A few years ago, purists again started riding ironing boards, but the movement has not taken off except as a novelty. The ironing board has nowhere

near the wave-catching ease or maneuverability of a board made from, you guessed it, fibreglass, foam and resin.

Last week a class of eight at Mt Eliza learnt how to make a wooden surfboard that performs the same as its environmentally unfriendly lookalikes.

Gary Miller and Rob Ivers were holding their third workshop with three more already booked out.

Each workshop lasts three days and at the end everyone attending walks away with a wooden, environmentally friendly surfboard under their arm.

The paulownia plantation-grown timber (native to China) practically lasts forever, Miller says.

Widely used in furniture, caravans, yachts and window shutters, paulownia is easy to work and, best of all for a surfboard, doesn’t absorb water, although most boards are finished off with a coat of varnish (environmentally friendly, of course).

Miller and Ivers operate under the Tree to Sea Australia banner, using plans and designs from United States-

Timber styling: Top left, Gary Miller (right) shows how it’s done during one of their do-it-yourself surfboard-making classes. Above, Gary Miller and Rob Ivers with two of their eco-friendly hollow wooden surfboards.

based Rich Blundell, who was out here in April running a board-making workshop in the garage of Ivers’s Mt Eliza house.

“We use his plans, which are selected and bought from his website,” Miller says.

He said the “green push” is seeing increasing numbers of surfers showing an interest in making a hollow wooden board.

Most surfers want to shape a board, but baulk at carving into a block of foam.

The Tree to Sea designs are built on a frame similar to that underlying an aircraft wing.

The frames are pre-cut by Miller and Ivers after the plans are chosen by each surfer in the class.

The surfers are shown how to glue the lengths of paulownia together for the top and bottom decks, with thinner strips being glued along the edges, or rails.

Thin strips of cedar are used for decoration or strength as stringers.

Miller says young and old surfers have signed up for the classes and some secondary colleges are showing interest.

“Making these boards could cut across three departments, technical, art and multimedia,” he says.

And what about the acid test – actually riding a wooden board in the surf?

“It’s got a lot to do with where your head is,” Miller says. “It’s different to a foam board. A bit heavier, which gives more momentum and glide. You can push through the whitewater.

“Like any board, it’s all locked in with the surfboard shape and individual style.”

The three days of tuition cost $450 and the board materials are $60 a foot (surfers and real estate agents still use imperial measures), which pretty much equate to the cost of a custom-built fibreglass, foam and resin job.

HISTORY

Forty years since arrests over gas pipe protests

By Mike Hast IT’S 40 years since the tranquil Mordialloc foreshore was the site of a major confrontation over a gas pipeline planned to be laid under Port Phillip to Altona by BHP-Esso with the backing of the state government.

The ethane gas pipeline controversy lasted for more than three years as the government and the Australian subsidiary of the US petroleum giant were ranged against Mordialloc Council, unions, conservationist groups and thousands of citizens.

The issue reached a climax on Sunday 18 June 1972 when more than 3000 people protested on the beach near Mordialloc Life Saving Club not long before work was due to start.

Three days later, on Wednesday 21 June, it reached a nadir when five pipeline opponents keeping a vigil on the beach were arrested and several others dragged away by police.

Arrested were John Iggulden, president of the Port Phillip Conservation Council; Carrum resident Richard Oke of the Anti-Bay Pipeline Committee;

Rita Packer of the Hampton Conservation and Planning Society; St Kilda resident Gabrielle Beiers; and Jim O’Neill of the Amalgamated Metal Workers Union.

Mr Iggulden – then aged 55 and the owner of an engineering company, a novelist and champion glider pilot – was frogmarched off the beach by police, locked up for a short time and later convicted of trespass in a magistrates’ court.

His appeal in the Supreme Court the following year was upheld when Justice Sir John Norris found Mr Iggulden had been wrongly convicted and the state government had exceeded its lawful powers. Other arrests occurred at later protests.

The controversy started in December 1969 when BHP-Esso asked Mordialloc Council for permission to bring its gas pipe into the municipality, which entailed digging up the foreshore and beach north of the creek before laying it in a trench under Port Phillip and across the bay to Altona.

The council objected to the plan

Oil pipe stopped IN May 1971, a BHP-Esso proposal for an oil pipeline under Port Phillip was rejected by the Liberal state government after furious public opposition.

The government decision came on the eve of the May state elections as worried MPs lobbied the premier, saying allowing an oil pipe under the bay would cost them their seats.

The pipeline was re-routed on land around the top of Port Phillip. It is known as the WAG pipe – Western Port, Altona, Geelong – and takes crude oil from Hastings to Geelong.

The decision proved to be prescient as the ethane pipeline was ruptured on 13 December 2008 when an anchor of the container ship APL Sydney snagged it during a storm, causing about 60 tonnes of gas to escape.

It was repaired by early March 2009, but then followed a drawn-out legal process with pipeline owners BHP Billiton and ExxonMobil, and Altona gas customers attempting to recoup cost of repairs and losses from the ship’s managers. Almost $100 million was claimed, but only a third was awarded by the federal court.

An Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigation found the ship’s anchor had been let go too close to the pipeline in gale force winds and insufficient anchor cable had been deployed.

In March 2010 the Federal Court strongly berated the Port of Melbourne Authority and a Port Phillip sea pilot for failing the ship’s captain, who had been ordered to remain anchored while his vessel was pushed closer to the undersea ethane pipeline.

and asked the Mordialloc Coastline Conservation League to back its opposition. Other conservation groups joined the fray and asked for support from unions.

In July 1971, the Trades Hall Council had withdrawn its ban on members working on the project, but 26 unions disagreed with the decision and maintained their opposition.

Port Phillip Conservation Council, representing 19 groups, and the Conservation Council of Victoria, representing 85 groups, joined the anti-pipe lobby.

The main objections to the undersea pipe included the precedent of laying a pipe under Port Phillip, potential environmental damage, a private pipeline being laid mostly on public land, and that the government and BHP-Esso had not undertaken sufficient studies or community consultation.

The Port Phillip Conservation Council said at the time: “This is an ad hoc decision to introduce an industrial facility into a large natural area not previously industrialised.

“It has been made in the total absence of any provision or forethought about the need to create a safe, accessible common pipelines corridor around Melbourne.

“The foreshore reserves and seabed of Port Phillip should not be disrupted on such a scale for commercial or industrial purposes.”

Mordialloc Council’s opposition to the gas pipe put it on a collision course with the state government.

Councillors were wary of the BHPEsso proposal right from the start, perhaps with good reason.

A report from 1972 said Milton Warlow, BHP-Esso’s main pipe lobbyist, made the first presentation about the proposal in late 1969 at a meeting attended by councillors and a few members of Mordialloc Coastline Conservation League.

Mr Warlow was asked by one councillor if ethane was inflammable.

Mr Warlow asked: “What do you mean by inflammable?”

Councillor: “We mean, does it burn?”

Mr Warlow: “Oh no. It doesn’t burn – not unless you have some form of combustion.”

The BHP-Esso man told the meeting the pipeline would not inconvenience the City of Mordialloc – except the city would not be able to carry out any earthworks, construct any buildings or plant any trees within BHP-Esso’s proposed 15-metre easement, which would enter the municipality beside the Mordialloc Main Drain and along Crown land beside Mordialloc Creek, which the council had planned to rehabilitate.

Later, councillors arranged a meeting with the Minister for Fuel and Power, Jim Balfour, to ask for changes to the route.

Conservation league members were forbidden from attending. Mr Balfour’s office said it was a meeting between him and the councillors.

When Mr Balfour arrived in his government car, Milton Warlow stepped out of the vehicle.

The mainstream media did not cover itself in glory, conservation groups said. Reports on television news channels focused on the unionists who had

been arrested or forced away from the fenced pipeline works on Mordialloc beach, which by day was protected by a phalanx of police and at night by a security guard armed with a shotgun.

None of the conservationists arrested were named on one television report.

Little mention was made of the combined opposition to the project by conservationists, unionists, and ordinary residents and concerned citizens.

BHP-Esso officials were quoted talking about “union unrest”.

One Esso public relations man years later told of how this was the first time photographing of protesters had been used to intimidate them. “We wanted to know who we were up against,” he said.

One conservationist was furious that television channels and daily newspapers kept referring to the protest location as “the bay pipeline site”.

“It was Mordialloc’s prime foreshore and beach area,” they said.

There was, however, praise for the balanced coverage of the local papers, the Mordialloc Chelsea News.

The council, conservationists and unionists lost the battle during those cold, dark days of June 1972. By December the pipeline had been completed after about five and a half months’ work and ethane gas was being pumped from Hastings to Altona.

No destruction of marine life due to its presence has ever been publicly documented.

However, the state government’s decision to refuse BHP-Esso’s proposal for an oil pipeline under Port Phillip proved to be a wise one (see box ‘Oil pipe stopped’).

The ethane gas pipe THE ethane gas pipe starts at Long Island Point in Hastings where Esso built a fractionation plant in 1970 to process Bass Strait gas, which is piped from Longford in south Gippsland.

Raw methane gas is “fractionated” at Long Island Point into three gasses – ethane, propane and butane. Ethane is used in the manufacture of detergents and plastics; propane is the bottled gas used for barbecues, heating and cooking as well as in various industrial applications. Butane is mixed with propane to make LPG to power cars. Propane and butane are liquefied by pressure.

The pipe from Hastings to Altona is 78 kilometres long and 254mm in diameter (about 10 inches). About 50km runs across land and 28km under Port Phillip between Mordialloc and Altona, where gas is supplied to customers.

Stop the pipe: In winter 1972, more than 3000 people rallied against the BHP-Esso ethane gas pipeline proposed to run under Port Phillip from Mordialloc to Altona. The pipe was operating by the end of 1972. Left, a map showing the route of the gas pipe.

Only gas went under Port Phillip and a separate oil pipeline was built through Moorabbin and Brighton, closely following Port Phillip through Elwood, St Kilda and South Melbourne before continuing to the Altona refinery and Geelong.

Volunteers’ legacy set in concrete

Picking up the pieces: Mental Health Minister Mary Wooldridge with Peninsula Health staff member Simon Cairns at the opening of the service’s new Youth Prevention and Recovery Centre. Picture: Yanni

Mental health goes ‘home’ THE state’s first purpose-built treatment centre for young people with mental health problems has opened in Frankston.

The new Youth Prevention and Recovery Centre – Youth PARC – was opened on Wednesday by the Minister for Mental Health, Women’s Affairs and Community Services Mary Wooldridge.

The Youth PARC in Yuille St will provide early intervention for 16-25 year olds with mental illness who are too unwell to be at home but not in need of hospital care and for those in

the early stages of recovery from an acute psychiatric episode.

Young people are expected to stay at the 10-bed centre for a minimum of two weeks or up to 28 days.

The centre – run by Peninsula Health, Mind Australia and Peninsula Support Services – will be staffed full time by clinicians and mental health recovery workers.

Peninsula Health will next year open an adult PARC in Beach St. “The youth-friendly centre is designed as a large house, so young people can receive care in a more

home-like setting rather than a hospital facility,” Peninsula Health’s executive director of mental health services Jan Child said.

“This design is based on feedback from Victorians with mental illness, their families, carers and professionals who work with them.

“Frankston has a relatively high population of young people. The Youth PARC is an opportunity to intervene early with young people to optimise their social and educational chances.”

CONSTRUCTION of the multistorey car park at Frankston Hospital has revived memories of an act of generosity that had far-reaching effects.

In 1987 concreter Garry Ellis gathered a few of his friends and colleagues and replaced what was then a grass helipad with a concrete one, complete with a gravelled access road for the ambulances.

“It all really came about one morning after I had finished work,” said his wife Gay, who at the time was a senior night duty nurse in the hospital’s emergency department.

“I had told Garry the ambulance drivers had been complaining that it was difficult to drive up to the helipad and they were always getting bogged and sliding on the grass.”

After hearing of the problems, Mr Ellis contacted the hospital and a few of his friends and contacts and had the project organised within a week.

“At the time Garry was working for Pioneer Concreting,” Gay said.

“He organised to have all the concrete and use of the trucks and machinery donated by Pioneer, and even contacted local quarries to get sand and gravel donated.

“He just wanted to give something back to his community and to the hospital.”

Mr Ellis has since died and the construction of the new multi-storey car park has led to his helipad being removed.

“It is because of his selflessness that many critical patients were able to easily access the air ambulances and receive the medical treatment they needed,” the hospital’s executive director Brendon Gardener said.

“Garry’s legacy will still remain intact with plans to recognise his generous efforts at Frankston Hospital.”

Happy landings: This photo of Garry Ellis with ambulance drivers and aircrew was published in the 10 February 1987 edition of the now-defunct Frankston Independent.

Organic flow from yoga to yoghurt

Yoghurt guru: David Prior has parlayed his personal philosophies and principles into his business of producing organic yoghurt, which carries the brand five:am. The name reflects Prior’s habit of rising early to meditate, practise yoga or, if the swell is up, hit the waves.

Sterile environment: Organic yoghurt is produced at the five:am Carrum Downs factory.

By Keith Platt IT was the thought of tasting the fruit cake and muffins every day that put David Prior off buying a ready-made, profitable business.

Instead of eating fruit dyed with chemical colours and cake made with bleached flour, he opted to establish a start-up company making an organic product: yoghurt.

It was a decision made with the heart and head, not just the money.

With an MBA (Master of Business Administration) under his belt and financial security, Prior had taken a year off to plan his future.

“I did lots of surfing and yoga. I was in a pretty lucky position,” Prior says while sitting inside his office at Carrum Downs.

“I could choose the next thing. I could have taught yoga for the rest of my life, so finding a new business was not really about the money.”

The recent past had been running and then selling a packaging firm at Braeside with his father Malcolm.

The Beroda packaging company was named after the town in India where his parents lived before moving to Australia in 1969.

Part of the sale to Amcor involved the two Priors staying aboard, but David “found it hard” sitting alongside others making decisions for what had been his company. He opted out after six months; his father stayed five years.

The gap year that followed led to a yearning to be back in business.

“Coming from a manufacturing background, I knew there were not many things you can do considering the competition from China,” Prior says.

“But food is something that Australia does well; we’re clean and green.”

A profitable company making fruit cake and muffins failed to meet his needs, but yoghurt – something he liked – offered another opportunity altogether.

“It was a much bigger risk, but I was following my heart and my head. I didn’t want to produce something that’s rubbish.

“I knew a bit about the yoghurt category in Australia: it was a billion dollar a year market and dominated by big players.

“I also knew its market was growing strongly and I liked the sound of being involved with Australia’s dairy industry, but I wanted it to be organic, something not really done by the majors.

“I loved eating yoghurt and there was only one box left to tick, would I like to get up every day to try our product? The answer was yes.” Prior said one major distributor did have a line of organic yoghurt “but it’s made from powdered milk”.

“Ours is a better product, every ingredient is organic.”

Once his mind was made up about a product, Prior “found a recipe guy” – former King Island yoghurt maker Martin Houben – and persuaded him to “come out of retirement”.

“We spent two years designing our recipes, which was a bloody challenging process getting the body and taste right.

“We then had the base product, which was fol-

lowed by a long process formulating the types and flavours, which had to be all organic.”

Buying milk and cream from a family-run certified organic dairy farm near Korumburra in Gippsland “has allowed it to be run by the fourth generation”.

Prior, 42, had been “into” yoga and meditation since his mid-20s and the early daily rising that this and surfing entailed suggested a business name – five:am. By 7.30am every day he has done yoga and meditation or been for a jog.

“It prepares me for the rest of the day, which can involve 12 hours of work.”

Once Prior had found his product, he needed sales.

“I had done my homework and knew if I got it right there would be a market.”

In November 2009 Prior managed to arrange a meeting with the group chief executive officer of Woolworths and explained the philosophy behind his five:am organic yoghurt.

“I told them you could only get good organic yoghurt in health food stores, but mums need to be able to pick it up when doing their supermarket shopping.

“I was willing to commit my life and money if they were willing to support me.”

The deal was sealed with a handshake.

“I like doing business that way, it’s the only way. There’s no contract that can’t be broken and a handshake shows integrity and trust.”

Prior spent 2010 installing equipment in the Carrum Downs factory, which is owned by a family trust (“that’s their only involvement, the building, the rest is all mine”). In March 2011 four five:am products went on display in 400 Woolworths stores.

Prior now has 12 products in 700 Woolworths outlets, giving five:am 8400 points of distribution.

“I saw the business increase five times within a year,” he says.

However, that one major outlet is not enough to keep his expensive equipment busy, so Prior makes yoghurt for other brands, but to their own recipes.

“I would never give anyone five:am,” he says.

It takes six hours to change the plant over from one product to another to avoid them being mixed with his organic product.

“There’s nothing in any of our products that isn’t natural,” Prior says.

While Prior does not set aside time for yoga or meditation for his employees, he says some production staff “have been encouraged” by his lifestyle.

Hard to miss in the offices are small statues of Buddha and Hindu deities. Large photographs of tranquil scenes adorn the walls of the factory.

In other manufacturing plants such pictures are embellished with motivational messages. Prior clearly prefers the approach to business and productivity – like the five:am product – should be organic.

Surfing sailors heading south for home

Homeward bound: Ted Bainbridge, front, used his mobile phone to take this photo of himself and fellow sailors Bernie O’Hanlon and David Whiteley off the New South Wales north coast.

PAGE 14

Mornington News 21 August 2012

By Keith Platt TED Bainbridge is lying in a bunk. The 56hp diesel engine is chugging along steadily while the sails pick up whatever wind they can to help the boat progress down the New South Wales coast.

The day is sunny and Bainbridge and two fellow sailors Bernie O’Hanlon and David Whiteley have spent the morning spotting whales and studying weather patterns to decide when it will be best to seek a safe anchor before heading for home on the Mornington Peninsula.

They are about to begin the last leg of a ninemonth journey to Rye that has seen them sail almost halfway around the world from the Bahamas.

Bainbridge and Whiteley, who lives in Perth, left Australia in October last year to pick up Glamorous Galah, a Beneteau Oceanis 393 sloop, in the British Virgin Islands. Before Christmas they sailed down to St Lucia where they were joined by O’Hanlon, of Rye, for the

start of the World ARC Rally.

Glamorous Galah was the smallest monohull of the 30 boats in the fleet that sailed to the San Blas Islands, through the Panama Canal, Los Perlas Islands, Galapagos, Marquesas, Tuamotos, Society Islands, Suvarrow, Nuie, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu and Noumea.

They arrived at Coffs Harbour two weeks ago and spent the following weekend at Pittwater in Sydney waiting for the weather to clear before heading to Eden and then home.

The rest of the fleet is in Mackay and will make its way around the world via Bali, South Africa and South America.

When speaking to The News, Bainbridge said Glamorous Galah was off NSW’s Seal Rocks after leaving Coffs Harbour earlier that day.

He had been “snoozing in my bunk” aboard “this caravan on the sea” before getting up to prepare dinner for O’Hanlon and Whiteley and eventually taking his turn at the helm.

Keen surfers – four boards are attached to

their boat’s radar arch – the trio has managed to find waves in most of the ports of call.

Bainbridge, co-owner of the Peninsula Surf Centre stores, described a day surfing a wave “something like Pines [at Shoreham] on a perfect atoll in the Cook Islands that was uninhabited, although someone lived there as a recluse in the 1950s”.

The memories are plentiful, but overwhelming and Bainbridge is a bit stumped when asked for some other highlights of the trip.

There were seals on the steps of the post office on the Galapagos Islands, warm water and the many different kinds of wildlife encountered sailing across the Pacific Ocean.

It is all probably a bit much to ask him such a random question.

“It’s been amazing and fantastic, but I’m really looking forward to getting home after nine months at sea.”

The three sailing surfers are expected at Sorrento on Wednesday.

When position counts

Standing tall

IDEALLY located next to VicRoads in the heart of the greater Frankston commercial area, this solid investment consists of a main road showroom and office with a total floor area of about 1012 square metres. The property is in excellent condition throughout with all services available and has a large car parking area. For the investor, the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current return is $78,900 per annum (nett) on a new 3 x 3-year lease.

Secrecy surrounds Frankston SEW land deal

By Keith Platt SECRECY surrounds the deal struck

by Frankston Council and South East Water that will see the water utility move its headquarters to Frankston.

Mayor Cr Brian Cunial says council has signed a contract with South East Water for a council-owned site, but is unable to reveal the price.

Cr Cunial said the details remained in â&#x20AC;&#x153;closed councilâ&#x20AC;? while confidential issues continued to be discussed with the state government and South East Water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A soon as approvals are given there will be another [news] release,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Cr Cunial said both Kingston and

Greater Dandenong councils had competed for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the bay was a big plus. Where in Dandenong can you overlook the sea? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the Kingston site was near Nepean Highway.â&#x20AC;?

To help bolster its bid, Frankston Council offered to relax building height restrictions on the site abutting Kananook Creek between Wells and Playne streets.

As a statutory authority, South East Water will not pay rates.

Council also agreed to fast-track the planning process, basically agreeing to the building before seeing any architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans and without first under-

taking a public consultation process.

The new office tower will go behind the Landmark building, effectively blocking the sea views now enjoyed by its tenants.

Community groups have met with councillors and officers, but only after announcements were made that South East Water was coming to town.

Cr Cunial told The Times that South East Water could be seen as â&#x20AC;&#x153;coming back homeâ&#x20AC;?, having previously operated as the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission from offices in Lawson Ave, near Frankston Reservoir. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As mayor of Frankston I am very pleased to report to the community that council has now officially signed a

contract with South East Water, which will see them move their business to our city in 2015,â&#x20AC;? he stated in a letter to the editor earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The South East Water headquarters â&#x20AC;Ś will bring life to Kananook Creek Boulevard. This will further our efforts to activate this area and turn the city centre toward the waterfront, which is our greatest asset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The move will bring with it approximately 700 permanent jobs, which has the potential to generate up to a further 446 jobs through increased local consumption expenditure. Many more jobs will be generated during the twoyear construction period, which begins next year.

Healthy Living Your health choices Stay a step ahead of pain and injury

By Lyndy Saltmarsh Is your digestive system not feeling quite right?

DO you only pay attention to your digestive system when there is a problem? Maybe after you have eaten a large meal and feel bloated? Or perhaps you pay attention to your digestive system only when you have had changes in bowel movements, like diarrhoea or constipation? If this is the case, some digestive support in the form of a probiotic could be useful!

Probiotics are â&#x20AC;&#x153;good bacteriaâ&#x20AC;? that help keep your digestive system in good condition. Digestive problems are often a sign that the bacteria in your digestive system are out of balance, and since your digestive system is the centre of health, it is extremely important that you keep it healthy!

Did you know?

Did you know that you have over 400 species of good bacteria inside your digestive system and they weigh up to 3kg? In fact, you have more bacteria living inside you than you have cells in your entire body! There are approximately 100 trillion bacteria in your digestive system, the vast majority of which live in your bowel.

The balance of all these bacteria is essential for your health and wellbeing.

Good bacteria can protect you!

Your digestive system is in constant contact with the outside environment through the food that you eat. In your lifetime, you will eat approximately 22 tonnes of food. This food and the fluids you consume could be carrying potential pathogens that could make

you sick. Good bacteria can protect you from getting sick from these potential pathogens.

Balance is essential for healthâ&#x20AC;Ś It is essential for health and wellbeing that the bacteria, or flora, in your digestive system is kept in a healthy balance. An imbalance of flora within the digestive system can lead to many common symptoms including: How do good bacteria keep you healthy?

Good bacteria aid in: ď Ž Breaking down food and producing nutrients. ď Ž Absorption of nutrients. ď Ž Maintaining the motility of the digestive tract, ensuring good bowel motions. ď Ž Inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria. ď Ž Maintaining a healthy immune system. ď Ž Preventing Chronic disease .Not all probiotics are created equalâ&#x20AC;Ś As you can see, maintaining good bowel flora is an important key in maintaining health and wellbeing.

Good bowel flora can be achieved by taking probiotics. However, not all probiotics are the same and it is important to use the right probiotic for you.At renewyou wellness Centre we will advise the right probiotic for your health needs.

The digestive system is the centre of health, so come in today and let us help you to achieve optimal health and wellbeing by restoring your digestive health.

FOOT and leg aches, pain and injury are very common.

Most people will suffer some form of foot and leg pain during their lives with many having their physical activities and/or mobility affected by it. But you can keep a step ahead of pain and injury.

One of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most experienced podiatrists and the founder of Foot + Leg Pain Clinics, Dr Paul Dowie, is having great success in treating people of all ages who have aches, pains and injuries in their feet and legs.

With more than 15 years of experience Dr Dowie keeps up to date with the latest medical research and treatments. He also has personal experience in dealing with foot and leg concerns having been an elite athlete plagued by injuries, so he understands not only the physical implications, but also the mental and emotional aspects to pain and injury.

Dr Dowie and his Foot + Leg Pain Clinics have vast experience assisting with foot and leg pain, injury healing and prevention and degenerative issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about treating chronic pain and injury; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about helping to prevent these from occurring by assisting proper foot function, correcting faulty biomechanics, strengthening and correcting muscle patterns and supporting the musculoskeletal structure for each individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specific physical requirements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to take a holistic approach to healing and look past the surface symptoms to find the cause of foot and leg issues.â&#x20AC;?

Patients seek his services from far and wide. He has treated people who have individual genetic and physical challenges, and those who have lived longer than most (his most senior

patient is 112 years of age).

He has treated some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best in golf, tennis, athletics and cricket as well as people who have conquered Mt Everest, trekked to the North and South Poles, set world records, won Olympic gold medals or just enjoy life and being fit and well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With advances in medical research and treatments, we are able to assist people better than ever before. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to help professional athletes return to competition sport, relieve pain in people who have suffered for years, increase healing and mobility in people who have been told there is nothing that can be done or that surgery is their only option â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rewarding.â&#x20AC;?

Strength training for fitness, health and vitality WORKING your muscles not only builds bones but also lowers blood pressure and artery-clogging cholesterol. It can help regulate insulin levels, reduce stress, control depression and can even help to ward off dementia.

Your Curves 30 minute complete workout uses hydraulic-resistance strength-training machines that are specially designed for women. They allow you to tone your muscles and get a great cardiovascular workout at the same time. Hydraulic machines

allow you to push forward with one muscle group and pull back with the opposing muscles. Gravity doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help or hinder your workout the way it does with free weights and traditional weight-resistance machines. As you push and pull opposing muscle groups the intensity easily elevates and sustains your target heart rate and works muscles symmetrically.

Another bonus of hydraulic-resistance machines is that because there are no weight stacks to manage you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need strong muscles to start

out. The Curves workout provides a strength-training program that anyone can do safely, while providing resistance and intensity levels that will challenge those who are already fit.

Performance VETERAN Sydney music promoter Michael Chugg is bringing back the sounds of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s with another round of “Long Way to the Top”.

It has been a decade since Long Way to the Top toured Australia to packed houses and the new 10th anniversary show will present 17 legends of Australian rock who will unite and entertain Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane in October.

Where the 2002 tour included music released up to the ’70s, the 10th anniversary show features bands that had massive hits in the ’80s, notably Mi-Sex, Dragon, Ian Moss and Noiseworks.

The reunion tour will celebrate a major landmark in Australian live music and act as a performance legacy to one of its instigating producers, the late Billy Thorpe.

“Thorpey was an icon, a talented bloke who had a huge impact on music in this country,” Michael Chugg said.

Some of the artist appearing include Doug Parkinson, Brian Cadd, Jim Keays, Little Pattie, Lucky Starr, Col Joye, John Paul Young, Matt Taylor, Dinah Lee and Glenn Shorrock belting out hits like Needle in a Haystack, Little Ray of Sunshine, Dear Prudence, Are You Old Enough, I’ve Been Everywhere, Take Me Back, I Remember When I Was Young, and I Hate the Music.

Parkinson gave us two top 10 hits in 1969 with Dear Prudence and the double A side Without You and Hair.

Perth-born Brian Cadd was a member of Axiom, Bootleg Family Band and The Groop before having a successful solo career with chart hits Ginger Man, Let Go and Show Me the Way. Matt Taylor was a member of rock group Chain with charts hits Black & Blue and Judgement. In 1973 Matt had a hit with a solo single I Remember When I was Young from his successful Mushroom album Straight as a Die. The original tour was inspired by an ABC TV documentary series. When screened in August 2001, it became the most successful television series documentary ever on Australian music and when released on DVD, A Long Way to the Top became the highest-

selling Australian music DVD in history.

Tickets for Long Way to the Top are on sale now for Rod Laver Arena on Friday 5 October. Bookings: 132 849.

ABC/Universal has released a special edition three DVD/CD set compilation of live performances from the 2002 show Long Way to the Top 10th anniversary edition to coincide with the ticket sales. Extra backstage interview material and a hilarious behind the scenes documentary Rockumentary If You Will are included.

The DVD includes Billy Thorpe, Axiom, Marcia Hines, Russell Morris, Masters Apprentices, Spectrum, Lobby Loyde, Chain, John Paul Young, Brian Cadd, and The Twilights.

Our friends at ABC/Universal Music have given us copies of these collectors CD/DVD to give away. Tell me on the back of an envelope together with your name and address who had the big hit Little Ray of Sunshine?

buying, moving up north; nah. Cups of coffee, beautiful, untouchable women, bought a cap, a stubby holder, smiled at passersby. Friendly Queenslanders?

Where? They were too busy eating like it was the last supper. Do I feel better now? Perhaps slightly more loved. *** SOMETIMES it is so difficult to get to the truth. Worse still, you run the risk of being “up yourself” if you truly believe you have the answers. In fact the only real truth is that human nature never changes.

So we apply this to our current political landscape with Labor – leftwing, right-wing – and the Greens. Seemingly they all fight against a Coalition believing in the power of wealth and obviously supported by our daily newspapers, but no, they consistently fight against each other, thereby cutting their own throats.

As Mark Twain once said, “The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet”.

Same here. *** TOOL is a fascinating word. I am the proud owner of a toolbox. When darling went to God eight years back, it became mine. It’s in my garage gather-

ing dust. Once only a worker was here doing a job and wanted a screwdriver.

Another fascinating word. I felt like a tradie when I opened my toolbox and invited him to take his pick. As I type, one of my kitchen lights has gone, which can create a feeling of gloom at night. I’ll wait until someone drops by, someone who can comprehend the world of light globes, screwdrivers, washers and toolboxes. *** THE Olympic Games came and went with a whimper. Not being a Channel 9 viewer, I hardly noticed, other than Phil Cleary and others sounding off about the use of the Aboriginal flag at medal ceremonies or whatever. What a great idea. There could be some money in it for our indigenous compatriots, not that they would seek it; not their style. Shove the Union Jack and whack in the yellow red and black? Maybe even a touch of the African flag? Isn’t that where it all began? *** DANE Swan out for two matches for drinking “just six days before the next game?” Collingwood, like all clubs, adopts this puritanical (Gestapo) routine assuming wrongly that all personalities are the same. Swan apparently signed a players’ agreement (?) on an

alcohol ban. What would be the result of Swan refusing to sign? It’s surely more of a demand decided as always by the holier than thou, in this case a leadership group of young kids.

They say it will be a good lesson; come back better for it. Platitudes abound. Why penalise the team, the supporters, Swan’s Brownlow chance?

Why not a fine, or was it to make them look good, strong, upholders of selfrighteousness? Some people need to let off steam in the AFL pressure cooker. What happened to giving someone a second chance? For the good of the club be buggered. Would they have done it six days before the grand final? Maybe, they’re silly enough. Unbloody-believable. Wrong Eddie; ditto Nathan. *** I BOUGHT a plug-in device for my laptop. Pay extra to be shown how to use it or do it yourself by simply following the prompts; also advised that it would be online (as in ready to use) in two hours. No problemo. “Just turn it on and follow the instructions.”

I arrived at Port Douglas three days later; nothing online. Then followed a 60-minute phone call on my mobile to get it up and running. To those 1.6 million extra Telstra mobile customers over the past 12 months – beware!

By Gary Turner The DVD contains concert footage including six Led Zeppelin classics. In 1967 he formed a group called Band of Joy with drummer John Bonham, before the two joined with guitarist Jimmy Page and bass player John Paul Jones the following year to form Led Zeppelin.

Tracks include Black Dog, Houses of the Holy, Tangerine, Ramble On, Down to the Sea, Gallows Pole and more plus a bonus interview with Plant, documentary and gallery.

We expect a new album from Plant next month. This will be Plant’s first solo album since 2007’s six-time Grammy Award-winning album Raising Sand, which sold more than 700,000 copies in the UK and three million worldwide.

Happy birthday to Robert Plant who turns 64 this week. www.robertplant.com *** ALFRED Hitchcock’s Vertigo has been named the greatest film of all time in a leading critics’ poll, knocking Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane off the top spot for the first time in 50 years.

More than 800 film critics and experts took part in the poll, which has been carried out every 10 years since 1952.

The 1958 film starred James Stewart and Kim Novak as well as Dallas TV star Barbara Bel Geddes, Henry Jones and Tom Helmore.

Some of my favourite classics include African Queen, To Sir With Love, Rebecca, Unforgiven, On the Waterfront; Gone With the Wind, and Life is a House.

A Grain of Salt I WENT to Port Douglas for a week compliments of my son. It meant missing the Friday night RSL meat raffle but sometimes one needs to grasp life by the scruff of the neck.

As a result of his generosity, I now humbly retract (temporarily) all those nasty inferences I’ve written over the past five years about children.

We bonded apparently; nice, huh?

Shucks. I spent the whole weekend prior to departure packing; lots of heavy thinking. One pair of sneakers (runners?) and my case was full. How do people manage it? And what if the pilot is drunk? Was it worth it? Well, two hours to the airport, a marathon walk to gate 26, a three and a half hour flight and another hour to our boutique apartment. Boutique is a big word up there; accommodation, hotels, cafes – all boutique.

The Jetstar hostesses (or hosts) have obviously passed with honours in an advanced course on how to lose one’s personality. The RSL (called the Combined Services Club) was good value, atmosphere, prices. Lots of big eating, non-smoking Queenslanders with very big necks.

I love this one: home phone to Telstra mobile for nine minutes – $1; Telstra to Telstra mobile, nine minutes – $8. *** RANDOM thoughts: Do you ever wonder if James Ashby and Godwin Grech have coffee together?

Oil prices down, petrol jumps 20 cents a litre; crooks.

Volleyroos did lots of hugging, even when they lost a point – hmm.

Self-funded retirees whining about everything after 30 years of sharemarket gains, poor babies.

... and other short stories

Terminal decline of quality penmanship

By Stuart McCullough IT’S tragic, really. For years, my handwriting has been in a state of ever-increasing decay. Like an ancient pullover, it has been gradually unravelling until all that remains is a single, indecipherable thread. The tragedy of my handwriting is not a story of a single minute but of a toll taken over several decades. It started out as terrible from which point it has steadily devolved.

To all my primary school teachers, I’d like to offer you the sincerest of apologies. The hours you spent at the blunt end of the blackboard should not have been in vain. That my body should seemingly reject all that I ever learned about cursive script is not anyone’s fault to speak of. Not even my own. I was never a delinquent. At school I dutifully copied down the patterns on the blackboard into my exercise book, developing a style of handwriting as unique as any fingerprint. I thought my handwriting was fine until I saw the crisp, clear lines that filled the pages of my schoolmates. Even then, my handwriting was lousy.

But as poor as it was, it must still have been legible. I say that because all our examinations relied on handwritten answers and I managed to progress. If I’d had then the handwriting I have now, I’d still be in year 10.

But why the decline? Technology is at least in part to blame. When I was at university, laptops began to pop up like toadstools in dark corners of the classroom. I believed these contrap-

tions to be little more than a passing fad and I dismissed them as vigorously as a paid-up member of the Flat Earth Society would a globe if he got the rough end of a Kris Kringle. Resistance, however, would prove to be futile. When I started working, I found myself at a computer for most of the day. Indeed, it’s now where I spend the best part of every day. My handwriting has suffered terribly as a result. It even resulted in a co-worker once referring to my script as “chicken scratch”.

In truth, my handwriting never

By some margin, the person with the worst handwriting in our family is my father. If my father’s handwriting was a typeface, it would, without doubt, be “Wing dings”. I have dozens of wonderful books, all of which are home to the most touching and thoughtful inscriptions from my father, none of which I can read.

Many appear to have gone through a couple of cycles in the Enigma Machine. Technically, it may not be handwriting so much as it is a biro out for a walk. Birthday cards were encryptions that my brothers and sisters and I would spend hours trying to crack. Either he was wishing me a ‘happy birthday’ or the Germans were planning an air assault flying out of Dusseldorf. It was impossible to tell which. This, of course, is to say nothing of postcards.

The reason for such silence is that the contents of postcards were as inscrutable as our faces as we attempted to read them.

There is, however, an upside. Now that handwriting has largely fallen foul of the fickle breeze of fashion, the playing field has been levelled. Soon, generations of youngsters will look on a ballpoint pen with the same kind of screwed-up incredulity we’d give a horse and buggy or the decision to bring back It’s a Knockout.

Handwriting will soon be all but irrelevant, preserved only by small groups of dedicated purists who meet in secret to practise their penmanship.

stood a chance. It’s genetics, you see.

The fact of the matter is that my family has long harboured a dark, tragic secret – we all have terrible, atrocious handwriting. Christmas at our house was always a scene of great confusion as we struggled to decipher which gift belonged to which child. Gift cards were frequently despatched down to the team at forensics for analysis to determine precisely who the intended recipient was. It resulted in the occasional perverse outcome, but we lived with the consequences nevertheless.

the level of an exotic martial art and used by street gangs as a means of settling disputes. Finally, the pen would at long last truly be mightier than the sword. Frustrations would be resolved by way of a Caran d’Ache Fleur de Dentelle fountain pen and bickering by way of the Bic Biro.

But in spite of these pocket-pens of resistance, handwriting would inevitably be declared an endangered species at risk of extinction. Let me say that it can’t come soon enough. Only then will I be free from the shame and attendant mockery that only truly terrible handwriting can inspire.

No longer will Christmas in our house be the slightly random presentthrowing affair that so marred our childhood years, even if I still insist that the size seven ballet shoes I received when I was 15 were intended for me. (No one had the nerve to tell me otherwise. I seemed so pleased.)

From now on, people will get the presents that were bought with them in mind.

It can now be said that, if not the writing, then certainly the Times New Roman is on the wall for handwriting. It will not affect my father. He will continue to gift books with indecipherable inscriptions and send postcards, the contents of which remain a mystery. I can’t say I mind so much.

There’s such a thing, I think, as making things too simple. Or, as my father would write, “too simple”. www.stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Blues tame Tigers, Crib dumps Bombers NEPEAN DIVISION

By Toe Punt SORRENTO went into safe mode against Pearcedale at the 28-minute mark of the last quarter on Saturday and paid the ultimate price.

The Sharks’ 16-year-old forward Jayden Tompkins kicked a goal well into time-on in the final term at Tractor Park to give the visitors a 10-point lead.

Thinking there was just a minute or so left on the clock, the Sorrento brains trust decided to put some players “on ice”.

Key contested ball winner Leigh Treeby was taken from the field, as was young ruckman Jon Croad.

Pearcedale, which had been well and truly in the contest all afternoon, continued to push hard in the hope of winning its fourth game in the past five weeks.

The Dales kicked three goals in three minutes to snatch the lead and take the ultimate scalp in the final game of the season.

The final siren sounded at the 35-minute mark of the last quarter.

The Sharks interchange crew got it horribly wrong.

It was a wonderful way for the Panthers to finish the season, given their poor start.

Ben Cadd re-signed with the club during the week, a major coup.

Finishing the season in winning form also holds them in good stead to add to their list in the off-season.

On Saturday, Daniel Murray also finished the season on a high, kicking

four goals, while star players Chris Fortnam, Pat Cadd and Tony Lester dominated.

Also finishing the season with yet another outstanding performer was Dean Jannsen, who was named Pearcedale’s best yet again.

The Sharks have been in average form since their massive win against Rye. After that game, Sorrento consolidated top spot on the ladder. It lost the following week against Dromana, did what it had to against Rosebud and has now lost to Pearcedale.

In the second semi-final, the Sharks will regain Scott Cameron and Ben Schwarze.

However, it does appear they will play finals without key forward Leigh Poholke, who busted a finger on Saturday.

Frankston Bombers coach Tony Blackford will sit down with the club in the next couple of weeks to discuss his future after his side was bundled out of the finals race on Saturday by Crib Point.

The equation was simple: Frankston needed to win to make the finals. Crib Point needed to win and hope Rosebud lost to Rye. The Magpies held up their end of the bargain, but Rosebud beat Rye and Crib Point’s tilt at a finals berth is over.

Rye, Crib Point and Frankston all finished on nine wins, but the Demons boasted the best percentage, which saved them in the end.

Blackford said he believed his club had underachieved since winning the flag in 2009.

“There are some circumstances that have contributed to this but at the end of the day, we haven’t improved on the field since winning the flag,” Blackford said.

“I’ll sit down with the club and they can tell me the direction that they would like to go.

“I love the place and wouldn’t go anywhere else now but the club is bigger than any individual and I want to see them succeed.

“If that means I’m coach, then great, but if they want to go in a different direction, then I’ll understand that also.”

The Bombers led Crib Point at half-time by 11 points after taking advantage of the wind in the second term.

However, with the wind in the third, Crib Point was so much more desperate than their opponent and in a 10-minute onslaught blew Frankston away.

The Magpies booted five goals in eight minutes and finished with six for the term to lead by 20 at three-quarter time.

Coach Dave Lawson booted two goals in the third, Jon Flack booted a couple to finish with five for the game and the likes of Brad Davidson and James Cook took control.

David Cook also was outstanding and Matt Sloper did a great job on Brad Wakeling.

When the Pies kicked the first goal of the final term, the game was over.

Dean Wagner played a cameo role in the ruck for the Bombers and did it to great effect, while Jay Page finished the season in great fashion, as did Ben Simmons.

Rosebud simply needed to beat Rye to play in the finals and played accordingly, smashing the Demons by 39 points. The home side booted five goals to one in the first quarter, which set up the win.

All expected to see Rye’s Justin Van Unen boot the two goals he needed to get his 100th early in the clash., but it took until the third quarter for the entire Rye team to kick its second goal.

Van Unen was kept goalless and will have to front up this week against the same side in the elimination final to reach the milestone.

Brenton Davidge caused all sorts of headaches for the Demons, and Lachy Armstrong was back in the line-up and contributed three.

Jake Jarman and Brenton Payne were outstanding for the Buds, and Rogers was solid across half-back.

Matt McIndoes was Rye’s most productive player with two goals, and Sam Smith was a welcome return in the middle. Andrew Dean presented in attack and worked hard.

The Buds have now beaten Rye twice this season. They would have to be confident this week, especially with Ben Schultz and Daniel Giarusso back in the side.

Devon Meadows booted five goals in the third quarter to set up a great win over Red Hill. It’s been a tough season for Devon in its first year back in Nepean Division, but at least the club was finished the season on a high note.

Andrew Oldmeadow was outstanding for the winners with two goals while Billy Hayes and Craig Thorne were impressive.

Tyabb finished the season on a high, while Somerville ended its season in poor fashion. The Yabbies were in control of the match for much of the afternoon with Ryan Jones dominating.

Matty Dimkos and Ben Gould also were outstanding performers for the Yabbies. Jess Sutton finished in a blaze of glory for the Eagles, as did Emilio Bitters and Jon Edwards.

Hastings got the upper hand in the mind games with Dromana, winning a low-scoring affair in ordinary conditions. The Blues made the most of their opportunities, while the visitors hit the post five times.

The Tigers are likely to lose important defender Ryan Worn for a couple of weeks after he was reported by three umpires for a late hit on Mark Deveraux five minutes before the end of the game.

Guy Martin played his second game of the season for the Blues and finished with three goals.

Dromana coach Gavin Artico said the game was a mud fight.

“Obviously Hastings was playing for the double chance and we didn’t have a lot to play for,” Artico said.

“Hastings played the better footy for longer periods and deserved to win.

“Hopefully we’ll play on a better deck this week, which is more conducive to top-of-the-table footy.”

Seagulls hang on, Dogs bite Kangas PENINSULA DIVISION

By Toe Punt JUST one week to go! That’s all you can hear at Chelsea Football Club after a disastrous season got worse on Saturday.

Chelsea was held goalless for three quarters against premiership fancy Karingal.

At the beginning of the MPNFL season, Chelsea had done enough in the off-season to be involved in the same conversation that included YCW and Karingal.

The Gulls were left wanting at the end of the 2011 season but had recruited well and were expecting great things.

The season started well, too, with solid victories over EdithvaleAspendale and Pines.

However, then Frankston YCW handed out a 78-point belting. The Gulls booted three goals that day.

In round four Chelsea hammered Mornington, then came from behind to beat Bonbeach. They were four and one.

The VCFL championships gave everyone a week off, but the Seagulls must have relaxed too much.

They were smashed by Mt Eliza to the tune of 100 points before bouncing back against Seaford. At this stage, the Gulls were in the five with five wins and two losses.

Finals venues a worry LET’S cross our fingers that the MPNFL has a very good look at the state of the selected Nepean Division finals venues very early this week, before declaring them for the weekend.

Both Pearcedale and Rosebud are not conducive to good finals footy.

Sorrento was extremely unimpressed with the surface at Pearcedale, despite the fact they won’t have to play there.

There was a video doing the rounds on Sunday of the Pearcedale surface. It’s not good enough for finals.

There were many people complaining about Rosebud as a finals venue, too. Not just Rye players and officials either.

Finals should be played on the best grounds available, re-

PAGE 34

It was the round eight belting by Karingal that sent the club backward.

It had a few injuries and a couple of players walked.

Although they bounced back against Langwarrin the following week, and had a win against Edi-Asp on a Sunday, not a lot has gone right since then.

On Saturday against the Bulls, it was embarrassing again, much like the round 12 game against YCW when Chelsea booted just one goal.

Chelsea was below par on the weekend, but Karingal was mighty once again.

The Bulls had 42 scoring shots to seven with Chris Hay booting 10 goals.

“Cocky” now has 77 for the season and leads Scott Lockwood by six with just one round to go. This isn’t bad for a bloke who made a comeback halfway through last year after spending three seasons on the golf course.

I think people forgot how good Chris Hay was – and is. He was a junior superstar who could have been anything. Now he is a star for his beloved Karingal club.

His junior combatant, Michael Burke, finished with six goals and James Tyquin, Steve Charalambous and Troy Hoad continued their dominant form.

Nigel Carmody, Robbie Lancaster and Sam Carpenter were brilliant for the Gulls. Carmody and Carpenter have been sensational all season.

gardless of their location. Rye and Sorrento clearly have the best venues, while Somerville isn’t too bad.

A call was put in to new league boss Jeff Jones on Sunday, but at the time of going to print, there was still no word on the intentions of the league.

Jonesy notches 1000 SPEAKING of Jeff Jones, the Southern Umpires Association chairman and MPNFL CEO umpired his 1000th game on Saturday.

Starting in 1982, Jones kicked off his career as a boundary umpire at age eight.

He joined SUA in 1986 and umpired his first senior game at age 13.

He has umpired nine Peninsula Division grand finals, three Nepean Division grand finals, two reserves grand finals and three Under-18 grand finals.

He also umpired in the VFL/ AFL for four seasons in the 1990s.

Mornington News 21 August 2012

Mornington was humiliated against Karingal in the previous round, beaten by 180 points, and needed to make a stand on Saturday and they did, leading for the large majority of the day to knock over Langwarrin.

The Dogs had outstanding second and third quarters, booting nine goals to three to lead by 28 points at the final change.

The Kangas came back in the last quarter, thanks to the run of Dylan Luxa and Sean Herdman, but still went down by 10 points.

Chris Paxino booted five for the Dogs, and Michael Braay, Chris Baker and Byron Murphy dominated.

Aaron Shaw finished with five for the Kangas and Michael Parker was also at his best.

Mt Eliza had to fight tooth and nail to get the job done against Pines, winning by just nine points.

The Redlegs trailed by 19 points at half-time and by two points at threequarter time. Pines had the wind in the last quarter.

Thanks to Ben Landry with three goals and Dan Gormley and skipper Jimmy Clayton, the Redlegs kicked four goals to two in the last against the tide to claim a good win.

Guy Hendry booted three, and Stevey Ryan, Luke Potts and Shaun White two each for the Pythons, while 17-yearold Rhys Chalkley was outstanding.

Chris Guganovic and Dave Marguglio

were also fine contributors across four quarters for the Pythons.

With a good finish to the season, Pines could be a great place next season and shouldn’t have too much trouble recruiting.

Frankston YCW geared up for its tilt at Mt Eliza this weekend, easily accounting for Seaford to the tune of 54 points.

The Stonecats restricted the Tigers to just one goal in the first half and three for the match.

Daniel Smith and Kyle Hutchison booted three each for the winners, and Lew Roberts contributed two.

Rhys Johnson and Adrian McIntyre were outstanding for YCW. For the Tigers, Aaron Walton finished with two goals and Luke Smith, Peter Azzopardi and Chris Irving worked tirelessly.

Bonbeach will play finals in 2012, a magnificent effort.

At the end of last season, the Sharks lost a coach and key players.

This left only stalwarts who wanted to play in the red, white and black and they started over again.

The best thing the club did was appoint Stevey Capp as coach. Many in football circles doubted his footy credentials. “Cappy” wasn’t a big name or a star MPNFL senior player.

He is intelligent, passionate, a football educator and a leader of men.

Look at the results. The Sharks have

been the most consistent side in the competition outside of the top three.

They are now two games clear in fourth place with one round to go.

The Sharks should beat Mornington, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t.

Chelsea play Langwarrin at Langwarrin and Seaford play Edithvale at home.

If the Gulls win and Tigers lose, Chelsea will play finals.

If the Gulls win and Seaford wins, the Tigers’ percentage is far greater and they get in.

Regardless, the Sharks are in and can fine-tune for their first final this week.

On Saturday against the EdithvaleAspendale, Bonbeach had to fight. It was good preparation.

The Eagles had a sensational third quarter and led by 11 points at the final change. Bonbeach kicked four goals to two points in the last quarter to win by 17.

Daniel Smith, as always, led from the front, while Shaun Foster, Mark Tyrrell and Jackson Casey were outstanding.

The Eagles were far from disgraced.

Tim Mannix (three goals) and Beau Turner were outstanding, and Brad Tagg also finished with three in a classy performance.

Pat Poore also made a welcome return and contributed well, assisting Nick Connellan in the big man department.

He umpired the 1992 TAC Cup grand final.

Buds bag ‘JV’.

IT didn’t take Rosebud supporters long to stick the boots in to Justin Van Unen on Saturday night.

Social media is instant and after the match between Rye and Rosebud where Van Unen failed to kick a goal, there was picture of him with a caption placed on Facebook.

The picture had been taken from the MPNFL site and the caption read: “Missing. Missing between the hours of 2pm and 5pm @ Rosebud Football Oval.”

Van Unen needed two goals to make it 100 for the season.

He gets another chance against the Buds this week in the do or die elimination final.

I’m not sure Rosebud coach Mark Hustwaite would have been overly excited about the Facebook posting.

Good year: Sam Carpenter, above, has had a good year but not so his team, Chelsea Seagulls, which has been up and down. The team was beaten comprehensively on Saturday by Karingal. To make the finals, the Gulls must win on SaturdayPictures: and hope Andrew Edi-Asp beat Seaford. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Cancer call to arms

VOLUNTEERS collected funds for the Cancer Council’s Call to Arms program during the Rye versus Hastings match on Saturday week at Rye. The national program is designed to tackle men’s cancer and seeks to involve all clubs from all sporting codes. At Rye, players showed their support by wearing yellow armbands. The event was inspired by Rye senior player Matthew McIndoe, whose father is seriously ill from cancer. To get involved, call 1300 65 65 85 or look up www.calltoarms.com.au Pictured are umpires and senior team captains with Karen McIndoe. Picture: Simone Redfearn

Swans v Hawks, Eagles v Pies best games Round 22 previews Friday 24 August Richmond v Essendon, MCG, 7.50pm Round 22 starts off with a blockbuster at the MCG between two of the big Victorian clubs. The Tigers for the 11th straight season miss the finals.

The only thing the club can take from the year is the improvement of several key players. The Tigers gave it a good crack against Fremantle in Perth, but weren’t strong enough to win. For the Bombers, their season isn’t over yet, but the way they’re playing won’t get them anywhere near the eight. The Blues disposed of them in a crucial clash by 96 points, a disappointing result for Essendon. Same story as last week, on current form the Tigers are the better side, despite what the ladder says.

Richmond by 23 points.

Saturday 25 August St Kilda v GWS Giants, Etihad Stadium, 1.45pm With two weeks remaining in the home and away season, there are going to be a few dead rubbers and this is one of them. On the weekend the Saints played to keep their season alive, but failed dismally in losing to Geelong by 42 points. Small forwards

Milne and Saad were pretty good, but received no help from big men Koschitzke and Wilkes who were kept goalless. The Giants put up a decent fight against Melbourne. The margin should have been higher but due to errant goalkicking the Giants stayed in the game. Toby Greene was outstanding with 38 disposals and Power with 25 in his 300th. Saints shouldn’t have any problems here.

St Kilda by 57 points.

Mumford stepped up, kicking three goals each. It was a slightly different story for the Hawks; they looked pretty sloppy against the Suns. Luke Hodge and Brad Sewell were at their usual best with 35 disposals each. Last time these teams met, Sydney upset Hawthorn in Launceston by 37 points and the fact they’re playing in Sydney will favour the Swans.

Sydney by 4 points.

Port Adelaide v Brisbane, AAMI Stadium, 2.10pm In the Power’s last home game for 2012, they come up against Brisbane, a side they haven’t beaten since 2009.

Under caretaker coach Garry Hocking, Port has shown more aggression and enthusiasm in recent matches and this is a good chance to win. As for the Lions, according to coach Michael Voss they had their win of the season when upsetting Adelaide by 10 points.

Young midfielder Jack Redden is pushing hard for his first best and fairest win; it’ll be out of him and Tom Rockliff. Overall the Lions are playing closer to their best football at the moment than the Power.

Brisbane by 37 points.

West Coast v Collingwood, Patersons Stadium, 7.40pm In a cracking clash in the west, the Magpies and Eagles play for a topfour spot with only two weeks till finals. The Eagles did what they had to do against the Power. Scott Selwood was excellent with 34 disposals. There are doubts over injuries to Andrew Gaff and Adam Selwood for this week’s game. Collingwood played one of its worst games of the season and was squashed by North Melbourne.

The Magpies had no forward line, with Cloke, Dawes and Tarrant all struggling. The Pies have the wood on West Coast, having beaten them in every game since 2007 and they also travel very well.

Collingwood by 2 points.

Sydney v Hawthorn, SCG, 4.40pm In the match of the round, the two best teams in the competition play for top spot. The Swans recovered from a slow start to smash the Bulldogs by 82 points; Josh Kennedy was scintillating with 34 disposals. Tall players Goodes, Roberts-Thomson, Pyke and

Gold Coast v Carlton, Metricon Stadium, 7.40pm It has been 16 months since these teams have met and that clash was the Gold Coast’s inaugural football match. Sixteen months on and not a lot has changed for the Suns; in fact the Suns have won fewer games than

Advertise "Until

this time last year. For the Blues they got their revenge on the Bombers in a 96-point win. From the opening bounce Carlton monstered Essendon with Kade Simpson and Marc Murphy starring. The Blues are on the verge of entering the eight and need to win one more game than Fremantle, their percentage guaranteeing them a spot.

The Blues have something to play for and will win easily.

Carlton by 62 points.

Sunday 26 August Geelong v Western Bulldogs, Simonds Stadium, 1.10pm For the first time since round 18, the Cats return home to Simonds Stadium, this time to play the Dogs. On the weekend the Cats crushed St Kilda’s finals chances with an impressive 42-point victory. Tom Hawkins bounced back from concussion and kicked six goals, and James Kelly was excellent, notching up 27 disposals.

Top four is probably beyond the Cats but a win gives them a sniff. The Bulldogs played an excellent first quarter against Sydney before being overrun and losing by 82 points (the story of their season). Ryan Griffen was best on ground with 47 disposals and young midfielder Lin Jong played a great game.

Geelong by 79 points.

North Melbourne v Fremantle, Etihad Stadium, 3.15pm In a top eight clash with the seventh and eighth ranked teams, both will be looking to cement a spot in the finals.

Melbourne v Adelaide, MCG, 4.40pm Sunday night at the ’G will be the last time we see former Melbourne captain Brad Green in the red and blue as the forward has announced his retirement.

The Demons will be looking to continue a run of good form to end a disappointing 2012. They degeated the Giants in Canberra; Jack Trengove was his team’s best with 23 disposals.

The Crows failed to take advantage of their soft draw and a top two position on the ladder is at risk. Against the Lions they struggled to deal with the pace of the game and Rising Star favourite Daniel Talia went off with a thigh injury. The Crows should win this easily.

Adelaide by 58 points.

For North Melbourne, they’re pretty much guaranteed a spot after an upset win against Collingwood. The Roos were excellent in the five-goal win, especially big men Todd Goldstein and Scott Thompson. The Dockers had one of their ugly victories, this time against the Tigers by 22 points. It wasn’t special, but they got the points and jumped into the eight. The fact they’re playing in Melbourne will be a huge advantage to the Kangaroos.

North Melbourne by 14 points.
