“We do our own buying and can offer a more individual range because we know our clients,” Alan said. Bedshed has the biggest display of mattresses and bedroom furniture on the Mornington Peninsula and employs its own drivers to ensure same-day delivery. All mattresses are Australian-made, except for the Danish Tempur range, which is the world’s biggest-selling premium mattress brand and has proved increasingly popular since Bedshed Mornington began stocking it last year. “Space age” is how Alan describes the unique Tempur technology. “It is the ultimate in quality and provides perfect support for the back while relieving pressure on sensitive areas,” he said. Bedshed is open seven days, with late night shopping until 9pm on Fridays, at Peninsula Homemaker Centre in Mornington. Watch for Bedshed’s seventh birthday sale, coming soon.

Your first stop for tint TOP Tint in Mornington specialises in window tinting for the car, home and office. New window films offer excellent insulation, retaining heat in winter and keeping out glare and UV rays in summer. “With the latest window films, air-conditioners and heaters don’t have to work as hard,” Lisa Enright of Top Tint said. Top Tint is an independent business owned and operated by Nicholas Clack, who has clocked up more than 17 years in the tinting business in Mornington.

“We are not a franchise, so we are not tied to any suppliers and can source the best products from anywhere,” Lisa said. Top Tint offers a no-obligation free quote and has qualified installers to complete the job. Window treatments include custom-made, decorative and frosted films as well as the more well-known tinted and clear products. The Top Tint showroom is at 1000A Nepean Highway, Mornington, next to the Thirsty Camel bottle shop, and services

the whole Mornington Peninsula and greater Melbourne area. The showroom is open 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 8am to midday Saturday. Phone 5977 0878 for more information.

Curtains for your winter warmth AT Shades of Australia in Mornington, each new season is accompanied by new fabrics to complement and contrast the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elements. The warmth and character added to a room by the use of fabric creates a truly unique statement. New textures and designs in modern colour palettes have ensured a comeback for curtains. Curtains are the ultimate window treatment when it comes to versatility: soft light-filtering

fabrics float breezily, textured blockout fabrics provide warmth, and bold printed patterns create impact. In winter, most of the heat leaves a house through the ceiling and the windows, so curtains are vital when it comes to insulation. A separate block-out lining keeps cold air out and traps air to provide extra insulation, maintaining welcome warmth and saving significant amounts on heating and cooling bills.

Pelmets, when paired with lined curtains, are the ideal choice for saving energy and keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They will assist in obtaining a five-star energy rating for your home. Adding curtains can significantly reduce the amount of unwanted outside noise that you hear inside. The introduction of cloth covering your windows also improves the sound quality within your house.

Suitable for all windows, curtains will enhance any style of home, whether old or new, traditional or modern, and are a practical and beautiful way to finish any room. Shades of Australia in Mornington has friendly staff to assist you in every step of the process choosing new window furnishings. The showroom has a large range of curtain fabrics, blind materials and working samples, all of which help

you to confidently choose the right product for you. Shades is a family business that credits its success to its commitment to the needs of each individual customer. It caters for all window furnishing needs, interior and exterior, and has prices to suit any budget as well as exemplary after-sales service. Shades of Australia is at Shop 8, 1-13 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington, phone 5975 9512.

One-stop shop for rest and play CHOOSING a mattress can be confusing and expensive. Martin and Kim Rodseth at Mattresses Direct make it so much easier by taking the time to find out what your individual needs are and finding the right mattress for you. You get a mattress with the correct support and perfect comfort, but only pay factory prices. Mattresses Direct manufacture locally using only quality Dunlop foams. “Our customers get the advantage of top-quality products

at factory prices because there is no middle man,” Kim said. Mattresses Direct has stores in Mornington and Rosebud. Co-located at Mattresses Direct is Roddy’s RC HOBBIES, which stocks a huge range of radiocontrolled helicopters, planes, tanks, cars, monster trucks and nitro buggies. Martin Rodseth’s interest in RC racing led to the business opportunity and Roddy’s RC HOBBIES opened last year. “It is a long-time passion that has evolved into a business, which is bringing loads of fun

into people’s lives,” Martin said. “It can be fast and furious for those who love the thrill of the power, but we also cater for first-timers who are interested in starting a new hobby.” The shop also stocks spare parts and nitro fuel and has a repair service. Mattresses Direct and Roddy’s RC HOBBIES are located together at Factory 1, 37 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington (next to Mitsubishi), phone 5977 1444; and Shop 2, 1395 Pt Nepean Rd, Rosebud, phone 5986 2008.

Bank where the manager owns the branch WHEN was the last time you walked into a bank and actually met the manager? Remember when you knew the names of the tellers and got service with a smile? Can you imagine ringing your bank and getting a real live person on the other end? Adrian Fromhold promises all this and more at his BOQ branch in Mornington, where customers are given his personal mobile phone number and email address. “I own the branch, I manage the branch, I make the decisions and I am there for my customers,” he said. “I have met 99.9 per cent of my customers and I know their names.” After 24 years in the banking sector, Mr Fromhold opened the BOQ branch in Main St last December and ever since has delighted in being able to say, “I own my own bank branch”. “I have a young family and I wanted to give them a good future,” he explained. The branch offers all standard banking services including savings accounts, mortgages, personal and commercial loans, business banking and credit card accounts, and is fully government guaranteed. “The difference between BOQ Mornington and other banks is the personal touch and service we offer. You are not just a number to us – we want to know your name, not your account number,” Mr Fromhold said. Business is growing and many new customers are attracted by the investment Mr Fromhold has in the branch, he said. “The buck stops with me.” BOQ is at Shop 2, 211 Main St, Mornington, phone 5973 2233.

A site for diamonds ANTHONY Hansen sees his Diamond Coco business as being more of a wholesaler than retailer, although his jewellery is sold across the counter as well as on the internet. Based upstairs in Main St, Mornington, Mr Hansen stresses that “it’s not like walking into a standard retail store”, but emphasises that he “wants to find what’s right for the customer”. Rings for all occasions and diamond earrings are Diamond Coco’s main stock in trade and a visit to the website (www.diamondcoco.com.au) provides a good idea of what is available. Spending a bit of time on the website can also provide an education in diamonds. Weight, colour, clarity, cut grade, polish, symmetry, length and width ratios, inclusions, depth and table percentage are all terms likely to be used by diamond merchants. Mr Hansen says his business model – including buying diamonds through the New York Diamond Exchange – means his prices can be up to 70 per cent less than buying a similar item from a jewellery shop. “We’ll charge about $5000 for a one-carat diamond ring that sells for $14,000 in a retail shop,” Mr Hansen says. “I want to make sure everyone walks out of here with the best that they can afford.” Mr Hansen says he is one of 22 members of the New York Diamond Exchange in Australia, which means he can buy “direct from the manufacturer, or polisher”. “The setting side is what we do; jewellers are not manufacturers of diamonds.”

While Diamond Coco has more than 1000 ring designs, for men and women and covering many special events, they can also be custom made. “Women often come in with firm ideas of what they want, but often walk out with a different size or shape once they’ve seen what we have to offer,” Mr Hansen says. One of the tips he gives to customers is that two diamonds of the same weight (carat) appear different to the eye – “round looks bigger than square”. “Shops try to market diamonds by name, but a diamond is a diamond. It makes no difference where it is mined. “The only exception is the Australian pink Argyle diamonds, which are frightfully

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

Independent living and on-site medical care at boutique retirement village WITH lower initial costs and lower ongoing fees than any comparable village, at Mt Martha Retirement Village, in Acacia St, Mt Martha, the overall benefits represent genuinely better value for money. Most importantly, “exit fees” take capital growth into consideration and are based on the future resale price of your unit, not a mere percentage of the price you paid. This fee structure protects your investment to a far higher degree. New units start at just $440,000. From a total 59 independent living units, only six remain. The village stands alone in terms of facilities. A 90-bed, high-care nursing home and 34-bed hostel on site. 24/7 medical emergency call system (a potentially life-saving facility and a comfort to residents). Meals are available. For anyone suffering ailing health, there’s no need to fear being separated from your partner or from village friends. Spaciously light and bright, the residences are beautifully decorated and comprehensively appointed. Most have two bedrooms plus study, and all have huge garages with internal access. There’s a choice of four different floor plans, all built to a very high standard,

both in design and finish. High quality appliances include splitsystem heat/air-conditioners. A “no extras” policy means all amenities are included in the price. Each has views to its own private landscaped courtyard with garden shed, water tank and more. Situated between church grounds and a park and well away from main roads and traffic noise, this is a quality residential address. The warm community environment combines the best aspects of life in retirement – freedom and friendship. Best of all, the village has none of the rules, regulations and constraints imposed by many bigger villages. It’s residential in style, not an institution. Residents say “It’s just like home”. Clubhouse facilities include recreational bar, kitchen and dining areas, billiards, croquet, carpet and lawn bowls, free library, big screen HD television and Foxtel, barbecue facilities and internet-connected computers. Pets are welcome at Mt Martha Retirement Village and “lost” pets may be replaced. The village enjoys direct access to Dunns Road Reserve, where there’s a leash-free area for dogs. Security gates access the park.

Civic Reserve $7m project By Mike Hast THE long-awaited expansion of Civic Reserve is underway with Mornington Peninsula Shire forming a steering committee to guide the $7 million project as well as appointing a project manager. David Collings Leisure Centre will be expanded to provide more space

12 courts and space for an extra four courts to be developed at a future date. The tennis club land in Main St next to The Bays Hospital will be sold, but work at Civic Reserve is not dependent on the sale, says Mornington Ward councillor Bev Colomb. The shire council is expected to make a formal

By Keith Platt HIGH on a hill overlooking the sea at Mt Martha, Bill Caldwell and his wife Dale visualise days spent overlooking the Aegean Sea in Greece. It is not hard, as the comparisons are there: blue waters stretching to the horizon, small boats bobbing in the waves and a house that borrowed a lot in its design from those built in Greece. Caldwell is a painter who has become known for his works created and inspired by the land and seascapes of Greece, Italy and France. A long-time frequent visitor to those countries, he says the journeys were a necessity to force him to take a break from his profession as a graphic designer and concentrate on his canvasses. These days, the Caldwell Design Studio (run by Bill and Dale) is a thing of the past and Caldwell can concentrate on his art. “I still do a bit of graphic design and teach art,” he says. In October he will teach oil painting to beginners over six weeks for the Peninsula Art Society. But it is an exhibition at the end of this month that is now claiming Caldwell’s attention. He is a member of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society, about to hold its 94th annual exhibition. Caldwell has been a member of the invitation-only society for eight years. His fellow current members are Angela Abbott, Greg Allen, June Barnett, Margaret Cowling, John Dudley, Stephen Doyle, Jacqueline Fowler, Amanda Hyatt, Lee Machelak, Bar-

Now free to cover his canvasses in oils, pastels and watercolour, Caldwell says his art was always a distinct contrast to his output as a graphic designer. He describes himself as being an artist “all my life”, but adds that his design business was necessary to generate income. “Most of it was corporate work, including annual reports,” he says. He “put off for years” learning how to do graphics on computer, but says they led to “the most productive and rewarding years of my life”. It was easy to adapt his typographic and design skills to working on computers, a background that he believes gave him an edge over younger graphic artists.

“Going away to Europe was the only way I could create art for exhibitions,” Caldwell says. “Greece, France and Italy were our favourites, so we kept going back.” The fascination for Greece saw the Caldwells living on the Greek island of Rhodes during the mid-1970s and they have since spent winters in a small village in southwest France. Members of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society usually submit seven or eight works to the annual exhibition. The society was established in 1918 by a “strong-willed and rebellious group of artists”, says its president Paul McDonald-Smith. “Over nine decades later the society’s aesthetic remains firmly grounded in classical disciplines, as revered by our predecessors, recognising that the pictorial elements of tone, form, colour and drawing are vital prerequisites of fine painting.” Mr McDonald-Smith said presentday members acknowledged “a debt to Max Meldrum’s school of tonal realism”. Past members have included Rupert Bunny, Sir William Dargie, Sir John Longstaff and Clarice Beckett. The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society 94th annual exhibition presented by Jenny Pihan Fine Art opens at 6.30pm Tuesday 31 July and then 10am-5pm daily until Sunday 12 August at the Glen Eira City Council Gallery, corner Hawthorn and Glen Eira roads, Caulfield.

Strong backing for green wedges By Mike Hast THE shire council has been surprised at the level of interest at its first four “Plan Peninsula” meetings in protecting green wedge zones. The first of 15 “Plan Peninsula Conversations” started late last month in Rye and Mornington, with residents providing ideas to Mornington Peninsula Shire planners. Meetings at Mt Eliza and Dromana were held last week. There has been almost unanimous support for retaining the existing 70-30 split between green wedges and development, and keeping land for farming rather than development. “Residents want farmers to be allowed to be farmers and not forced to be developers due to rising rates,” a shire spokesman said. The shire’s draft budget proposes increasing the agricultural rate from 30 to 35 per cent. It would see owners of agricultural land pay full rates on the land around homes and outbuildings, but 35 per cent on the remainder. There was strong support for flora and fauna corridors, also known as biolinks. Although the first meetings have been on the Port Phillip side of the peninsula, there also was strong support for an expanded Port of Hastings to become a “green” port with the state government encouraged to do all possible to keep Western Port unpolluted. Residents’ input will form part of the shire’s submission to the state government’s “Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement”, promised prior to the 2010 state election.

The statement will guide how the government allows the peninsula to develop and what will be preserved. About 200 residents attended the first four meetings – 40 at Rye, 20 at Mornington, more than 100 at Mt Eliza and 25 at Dromana. The shire says the meetings enable communities to “talk about the things they most value about their towns – and the peninsula as a whole – and what concerns they have for the future”. Topics raised at the first four sessions included:  More paths and shared paths to encourage cycling and walking; and the completion of the Bay Trail.  Keeping commercial areas compact and preserving the “charm” of peninsula towns.  Facilitating year-round employment for young people.  Changing Point Nepean Rd from an arterial to a local road.  Concerns about the impact of Peninsula Link freeway on lifestyle and amenity.  Improving connections between train and bus services.  More disabled parking as the population ages and access to the foreshore for people of all abilities.  More toilets and car parking at beaches as well as better signs.  Keeping the peninsula “special” and protecting Crown land.  Maintaining green wedge zones and supporting sustainable agriculture. Residents unable to attend Plan Peninsula meetings can have their say

Civic Reserve’s $7m boost Continued from Page 13 The tennis centre and Mornington Youth Club’s gymnastics area would be regional level facilities, which would enable a higher category of competition for both sports, she said. Cr Colomb said the shire’s intention to build the $30 million plus Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud would not affect Civic Reserve. “We’ve come far enough in the proc-

ess with plans and costings,” she said. Members of the steering committee met for the first time last week. They included representatives of the tennis club, Mornington Youth Club, Mornington Peninsula Table Tennis Association, shire officers and Crs Colomb and Anne Shaw, whose Mt Martha Ward includes Civic Reserve. Cr Colomb said she had worked hard to gain agreement from the tennis club to move from its present site.

Marine alliance launches study By Mike Hast THE nascent Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance has been given a $60,000 grant from the federal government to conduct a feasibility study. It will recommend how the peninsula’s marine industry can best be expanded, taking into account land use, deep water access and workforce training. The alliance was formed last year after former Mornington Peninsula Shire infrastructure director Bruce Douglas conducted an initial study of the sector in late 2010. As reported in The News last year (‘Marine industry worth $200m’, 10/3/11), the sector is the largest by turnover in the shire, surpassing BlueScope Steel, the naval base at HMAS Cerberus and the shire council. Mr Douglas, a civil engineer who had a 30-year career in local government including 11 years with the shire, said the peninsula’s commercial and recreational marine industry employed about 1100 workers, served 25,000 people and contributed $200 million each year to the peninsula’s GDP. Foundation members of a board formed last year were Hastings-based Crib Point Engineering, Hart Marine of Mornington, Sealite of Somerville, Wooden Boat Shop of Sorrento, Yaringa Harbour of Somerville, the shire’s economic development manager Shane Murphy and Mr Douglas. Seed money came from the five

businesses and the shire. New members were Martha Cove Marina and Searoad Ferries. “We see the alliance as a chamber of commerce of marine stakeholders,” Mr Douglas said. He said the study by land use economics specialist Matters More Consulting, led by Marianne Stoettrup, would take about 14 weeks. Results would guide the alliance as well as inform the shire’s proposed marine precincts planning study. Matters More did economic impact assessment work in 2008 for the underconstruction Peninsula Link freeway.

A key topic of the study, funded by the federal government’s Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, will be training and professional development. Mr Douglas said if the marine sector was to grow, trained workers would be needed. The recent closure of a boatbuilding apprenticeship course at Williamstown by Victoria University had been a blow, but provided an opportunity for a similar or more comprehensive marine workforce course to be started in the region. Early discussions had been held with Chisholm TAFE, he said.

The $60,000 is part of the government’s stimulus for the region following job losses at BlueScope Steel in Hastings last year after the closure of the hot strip mill and one of two paint lines. Mr Douglas said possible areas for development of the marine industry included Yaringa Harbour, Hastings and Crib Point on Western Port, and Martha Cove (Safety Beach) and Blairgowrie on Port Phillip. The alliance was actively recruiting members, he said. “We have 23 yacht

clubs on the peninsula, other waterbased sporting clubs and tourism activities, and we hope they’ll all see the value of working together to advance our entire marine industry.”  Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance will have a stand at the careers expo in August at Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Rd, Mornington. For more information about the alliance, contact Bruce Douglas on 0457 785 159 or visit www.mpmarinealliance.com

Shire shows the way in the arts THE “sustainable peninsula” may be making way for “a creative peninsula” as Mornington Peninsula Shire seeks to involve residents in formulating an arts and culture strategy. The shire’s draft Arts & Culture Strategy – A Creative Peninsula – is on public exhibition for comment and discussion during forums at Hastings, Mornington, Sorrento and Rosebud. The strategy involves forming a panel to advise the shire on “cultural policy and development priorities”; developing a public art policy and management plan; providing music bursaries; and increasing the number of arts and cultural festivals, “in particular low-cost community-based music festivals”. The shire says its strategy “reflects and articulates a vision for arts and culture; the needs and aspirations

of our community; the shire’s role in local arts and cultural development; and priorities for planning, facilities, programs and communication”. Once adopted, the strategy will cover 2012 to 2015. “Art and culture is more than just providing entertainment, within a community it can foster creativity, inspiration and innovation,” the mayor Cr Frank Martin stated in a shire news release. “It helps strengthen communities through nurturing local identity and a sense of place, and can bring people of diverse backgrounds together to create and enjoy art, and to create a more livable community. “The strategy focuses on ability of arts and culture to help build stronger community connections and aims to improve the skills and capacities necessary for a creative peninsula.”

The forums to discuss the arts on the peninsula will be held at: Mornington Library Meeting Room, Vancouver St, Mornington, 6-8pm Wednesday 18 July. Sorrento Nepean Historical Society, 827 Melbourne Rd, 6-8pm Thursday 19 July. Hastings Hall, 3 High St, 1-4pm Wednesday July 25. The Community Hub@Eastbourne, Rosebud, 11a Allambie Av, Rosebud West, 6-8pm Wednesday 1 August. The strategy can be inspected at council offices downloaded from www.mornpen.vic.gov.au under Have your Say. For more information contact cultural planner Andrea Ebsworth on 0438 051 092.

Heavy metal approach for medal By Keith Platt DALE Stevenson, right, has shoulders that look like they’re built for carrying weights. And that is part of what they do. But what they do best is provide the base against which his arm can work to throw a steel ball weighing 7.26 kilograms. Stevenson’s shoulders are also carrying the weight of Australia’s expectations in the shot put event at the London Olympics. Stevenson, formally of Moorooduc, hopes to follow in the footsteps of hurdler Debbie Flintoff-King who in 1988 won won the 400m gold medal at the summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. If Stevenson manages to win in London his name may need to be added to road signs leading into Moorooduc that carry an acknowledgement of Flintoff-King’s achievement. The shot put is being held on the first day of the athletics, 3 August. It is the first of 47 events in the athletics that involves 2000 athletes. Between now and then Stevenson, 23, will have trained in Germany and competed in Madrid, Spain, Sotteville, France, and Poland before heading to set up camp in London. “I use these comps to tune-up for the games,” Stevenson said two days before leaving his Vermont home. He will be at London’s Olympic village on 29 July, four days before he faces his biggest test yet. “Last year’s world champion from Germany will be a favourite, but the Americans and a Canadian have been in great form and will be gunning for him,” he says. Stevenson’s personal best throw is 20.62 metres and he sees anything over 21m as being “in the mix for medals”. The former state champion and Delhi Commonwealth Games bronze medalist threw his Olympic qualifier in May while competing in South Carolina, in the United States. “My aim is to make the top 12, which will require a throw of 20.2 plus in the qualifying rounds. “It’s important to note that the Olympics are not necessarily the best conditions to throw PBs; it all comes down to handling pressure and head-to-head competition.” Raised in Moorooduc and educated at the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza, Stevenson has relatively recently added yoga and meditation to his sevenday training regimes. His weekly program includes four throwing sessions, three weight ses-

sions at the gym, three plyometric (power training) circuits and two sessions with a movement coach. This includes including yoga, massage, postures and breathing awareness. “Unlike some other sports, there is a definite limit to the amount of training we can do; the intensity required during weights and throwing sessions does not lend itself to any longer durations of work. “I started practising yoga and meditation after elbow surgery in 2011,” Stevenson says. “I found the rehab process to be frustrating and needed an outlet that would allow me to strengthen the elbow again. “I learned more about my body through the challenges presented in that space than I had in all my other sporting pursuits combined. I have built some of these philosophies and approaches into my program permanently and am better for it. “Meditation has also provided a great natural avenue for me to rest and rejuvenate, ensuring that I can give 100 per cent energy to my sessions.” Stevenson estimates the yearly cost of being an Olympian at $40,000$50,000. Although sponsors are not lining up outside his door, he gets footwear and apparel from Saucony, and has a manager “to help source some backing during this period of very high exposure”. “We aren’t a professional code like football, yet we train full time and need to self-fund the majority of our expenses. “Fortunately I am now competing at a level where – with the assistance of the Victorian Institute of Sport – most of my medical, travel and training expenses are covered. “Athletes at the very top of their event – such as Sally Pearson and Steve Hooker – can do very well from the sport through sponsors and endorsements, but they will admit that their developmental years were extremely challenging financially. “Steve didn’t become a professional athlete until 2007; he won the Olympics the following year. “One of the saving graces for our sport is that we have scope to represent sponsors well, unlike team sports which are often more bound by their league and club obligations.” The Bluearth Foundation, a Melbourne-based charity that works with schools, employs Stevenson. “I think that they have gained something from having me as an employee, but I hope they realise how grateful I

am to have been given the flexibility to not only earn an income, but also do something I truly enjoy. “Many athletes end up either not working and struggling to pay their way through athletics, or working a job they don’t enjoy to make ends meet.” To cope with the demands of a gruelling training schedule and constant search for funds, Stevenson advises budding sportspeople to make sure they “love the game”. “The underlying foundations of human energy are based in love, truth and beauty; not money, ego or notoriety. “It’s too easy to fall out of love with the sport if you don’t have authentic passion. “Also, trust your own wisdom;

will arise to make a living from throwing.” London has been long-term goal and his future will possibly depend on the result. “My partner [Lauren Cleasby-Jones] has been extremely supportive of my career to now and we have both sacrificed a lot in the aim making this Olympic final. Afterwards, I will sit down with her and a few other stakeholders and reassess the situation for the future.” Lauren as well as Dale’s parents, Ian and Jenny, of Mornington, and sister Erin, will be in London for the Games.

there is a temptation of the grass being greener, but you need to be able to channel 100 per cent of your energy into training and this can’t be done if you’re constantly questioning your path.” While it may not be in the mainstream of sports, Stevenson does not shut out the prospect of being a professional shot putter. “I’d estimate that there are 30-50 professionals in the world. I am ranked inside the top 20 but don’t live in Europe or America, so it’s harder to get the financial support to train professionally. “I believe that if I stay focused on enjoying the process, the results will keep improving and an opportunity

He is a God that forgives all our sins & heals all our diseases...Bless the Lord & forget not His benefits. Psalm 103:2+3 God sent Jesus for one purpose....That is to benefit mankind. That’s you & me. To restore a broken relationship with our heavenly father. All God has for us is good! How do we not understand that He is our only hope. He is our only source of life, health, healing, freedom, deliverance, salvation, joy & peace. He came to set captives free. Those who are oppressed & sick can find freedom, release & healing In Jesus Christ, God’s only son. There is no other name given to us under heaven by which we can be saved from the consequences of our sins & be healed from all the hurt, pain & sicknesses this world throws upon us.You see, He has overcome the world. He has paid the costly price for your forgiveness, salvation & healing. All we need do now is accept His love, healing & forgiveness, make a calculated decision to forsake (repent)our sin & selfishness & turn to God to receive from Him all His benefits. It’s time to turn to God. To turn to Him with all our hearts & forsake ungodliness. To acknowledge Him in all our ways to make level paths for our feet & walk in His ways & so He will direct our paths into His everlasting love. We must choose to follow Him & obey His commandments & in doing so choose life over death. If we remain in this world as we are, in partaking of ungodly ways & living in pride, selfishness & rejection of Jesus Christ, we stand condemned by our own actions. However if we receive Gods word to us, which is life & freedom & hear & obey then we pass from death to life. For all who receive Him pass from death to life. All who call upon His name shall be saved. The Kingdom of God is at hand. In fact it is available to all who open their hearts & live their lives in obedience to Him. Pastor Paul Furlong

Food drives around Curves CURVES Mornington is encouraging local women to show their philanthropic strength by participating in the 14th Annual Curves Food Drive During July 2012, Curves Mornington will collect non-perishable items for the Mornington Information and Community Support Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency food pantry. The goal is for the community to come together to help people in need. At the core of our business is the message that women are stronger when they rally together and that is the point we hope to bring home with our food drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to show our community just how powerful the generosity of our members can be,â&#x20AC;? a spokeswoman said. Each year, Curves clubs worldwide collectively donate millions of kilos of food to feed the hungry. Over the past six years, a total of nearly 54 million kilograms of food has been collected and distributed to local communities all over the world through the Curves Food Drive. Last year, Curves Mornington donated in excess of 500kg of food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope women in the Mornington area will come together and participate in this initiative.â&#x20AC;?

Healthy Living

Preventing dry eyes in winter

Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not thinking about joining a gym, you can still drop off donations to Curves Mornington at Level 1, 8 Spray St, Mornington. Entry to Spray St is off Main St, via Elizabeth St. Contact Curves Mornington on 5975 5526 for a great membership deal when making a donation to the food drive.

WHILE you may have always thought of winter as the wet season, the atmosphere is actually driest in the winter months. We all know how to care for dry skin, but what about our eyes? As we turn on our heaters to keep our homes and offices cosy, our eyes begin to dry out as the humidity and moisture in the air drops dramatically. The chilly winter winds also exacerbate the moisture evaporation in our eyes. This makes it hard for our tear glands to produce the fluids we need to maintain the protective moist coating around our eyes. There are some really simple and natural ways to keep your eyes moist and healthy this winter. Humidifiers are a good tool for restoring moisture in the air, especially as heating units work to decrease it. The more humidity in the air, the less dry your eyes will feel.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discard your sunglasses this winter. Eyewear can provide great protection from cold winds and excess light, and will prevent the evaporation of moisture in your eyes. Do you find yourself in front of a computer or book for long periods of time? Without realising it, many people forget to blink when concentrating on a complex task. Give your eyes regular breaks by closing them for a minute allowing the fluid to spread out over your eyes. Another simple way to keep your eyes naturally hydrated is to drink more fluids and reduce your coffee intake. Eye lubricants such as Systane may be useful. These are just some of the many ways you can prevent your eyes from becoming dry this winter. John Old

Healthy Living

The many health benefits of walking DID you know that walking can have many benefits other than contributing to fitness and weight control? Walking is important in the prevention of illnesses like; diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. It can help prevent falls, fractures and injuries through improved coordination, bone and muscle strength and can improve respiratory function, circulation and metabolism, as well as strengthen the immune system and increase energy levels. Walking is also great for your mental/emotional health too. It can assist with depression and cognitive function including concentration and memory, and improve sleep and stress levels. So why isn’t everybody walking regularly for exercise? Much of the reason may be due to the fact that most people suffer from foot and leg pain and injuries at some stage in their life. Paul Dowie, one of Australia’s foremost sports podiatrists and founder of Foot + Leg Pain Clinics says: “Many people suffer from foot and leg pain and it’s often left untreated, which can cause more serious long term issues. “If you get the right treatment and advice you can end foot and leg pain and heal injuries. Always get pain and injury checked by an experienced sports podiatrist who is an expert in biomechanics and musculoskeletal concerns.” With more than 15 years’ experience, Paul has assisted elite athletes return to professional sport, provide pain relief for people who had suffered for years and helped many others avoid

surgery and increased people’s mobility. “Don’t let foot and leg pain stop you from being active and enjoying life. With the right treatment and advice from an experienced expert, there is nearly always a relatively quick and easy solution.” Walking tips: Before starting a walking program, consult a doctor if you have a chronic medical condition or a sports podiatrist if you have any foot or leg pain or injuries. Wear comfortable, supportive shoes. A sports podiatrist is the best person to provide footwear advice. Warm up. Try a slower pace for five minutes then pick up the tempo. Pay attention to your breathing. Pace it up to elevate your heart rate, but don’t overdo it. You should be able to have a conversation while walking. Incorporate walking into your daily life. Walk to work, school, shops and friends’ houses Ditch the car and combine walking with public transport. Take the stairs over a lift. Park your car a couple of blocks away and walk. Carry water on long walks or in hot weather. You can get foot and leg pain and injuries addressed by Foot + Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza. For $50 off initial consultation call 1300 328 300. There’s no excuse not to get walking.

Cholesterol questions answered CHOLESTEROL is a type of fat that is vital for life. It is a building block for many metabolic processes in the body including making hormones, supporting cell structure and making bile. Cholesterol can be found in certain foods (meats, dairy products, eggs) and is also made by your liver. Too much cholesterol can be detrimental to your health by promoting fatty plaque deposits in blood vessels. Cholesterol: the good and the bad When you get your cholesterol levels checked our practitioners will be interested in two main types of cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. HDL is essentially the “good” form of cholesterol while LDL is the “bad” form. If the ratio of HDL:LDL is out of balance (that is, not enough HDL, too much LDL), it puts you at increased risk of heart disease.

Five simple steps to lowering your cholesterol Follow a cholesterol-lowering eating plan – eliminate damaging trans fats found in fast foods, fried foods and baked goods. Trans fats increase your risk of developing heart disease by increasing the “bad cholesterol”. Reduce your saturated fat by eating only lean meats as this can cause weight gain. Increase good fats, cold water fish, nuts and seeds. Follow the Mediterranean diet. Cut down on sugar, soft drinks, juices and processed foods as these frequently contain “hidden sugars”. When there is an oversupply the body converts this to fat which negatively affects cholesterol balance. Lose weight – get moving – adapt a healthy lifestyle (address stress and smoking) – supportive supplements from Peninsula Herbal Dispensary. Karen Jackson ND

Wedge and rare fish block service centres By Mike Hast THE proposed twin service centres either side of Peninsula Link freeway at Baxter have been knocked back by the state planning tribunal VCAT. Key reasons for the refusal include insufficient traffic to justify the servos, loss of green wedge farmland and the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential impact on breeding grounds of the threatened dwarf galaxia native fish. The decision is a huge win for Mornington Peninsula Shire, which refused the AA Holdings application last December saying it was inappropriate for a green wedge zone with unacceptable environmental impacts.

AA Holdings wanted to build for BP servos on either side of the freeway east of the Mt Eliza escarpment on farming land. They were due to open in early 2013 when the freeway is completed. Shire councillor David Gibb said it was a win for the green wedge. The decision reaffirmed the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning scheme, which protected the green wedge for its agricultural productivity, biodiversity and landscape values, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was always absurd that travellers would need a rest in Baxter after a supposedly long and exhausting journey from Rosebud; similarly those arriving

in Baxter from Melbourne.â&#x20AC;? Cr Gibb said the VCAT win was â&#x20AC;&#x153;round one and the applicant will try againâ&#x20AC;?. AA Holdingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; planner David Hansen said it was a disappointing decision and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal team would analyse it to see if there were grounds for appeal in the Supreme Court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 12 experts at a six-day hearing and the shire had none. We think the VCAT got it wrong.â&#x20AC;? Mr Hansen said if an appeal was not an option, AA Holdings would consider submitting modified plans for the two freeway service centres (FSC). Plans show each centre would have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;truckiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loungeâ&#x20AC;?, showers, toilets

and laundry; baby changing room, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground and picnic area; parking for 100 cars, four buses, five caravans and 16 trucks; 30 refuelling points; a convenience store, five food or retail shops and a tourism kiosk; indoor seating for 272 people and outside seating for 52; and about 13 toilets. Presiding VCAT member Rachel Naylor and member Greg Sharpley stated there was a lack of identified need for the freeway service centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not persuaded about predicted traffic volumes for [the freeway], hence we cannot find with any certainty what the likely traffic volumes and movements will be,â&#x20AC;? they stated.

TAX Commissioner Michael Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ascenzo has reminded Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12.4 million taxpayers that it is time to start lodging income tax returns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year most Australian taxpayers who are expecting a refund and lodge electronically will have it in 12 business days or less,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ascenzo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you prepare your own return, the quickest, easiest and most convenient way is online using e-tax, the ATOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free lodgment service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can save time and ensure your return is accurate by pre-filling your e-tax return with information we receive from your employer, bank, government agencies, health fund and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This information is available as we receive it, with most data available by late July. All you need to do is check the information and add any missing details.â&#x20AC;? Mr Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ascenzo said the ATO was developing an Apple Macintosh-compatible version of the e-tax software, but it will not be available until next year.

Tax returns also can be lodged through a registered tax agent. A key message from tax agents is to be prepared to confirm your personal details with them and have your bank account details available if you want the refund to be paid directly to a bank account. Visit www.tpb.gov.au or call the Tax Practitioners Board on 1300 362 829 to check your tax agent is registered. If you have simple tax affairs, you may be eligible to lodge your tax return over the phone by completing the Short tax return 2012 and lodging it by calling 13 28 65. The TaxPack has been replaced by new Individual Tax Return Instructions, which can be picked up from most newsagencies and at ATO shopfronts. The instructions can be ordered online fromwww.ato.gov.au/publications or by calling 1300 720 092. For more information visit www.ato.gov.au or call 13 28 61 between 8am and 6pm weekdays.

Claiming for work costs WORK-related expenses can only be claimed as a tax deduction if paid with your own money to help you earn your income. The ATO says many people fail to separate private expenses from legitimate work-related ones. For example, flight attendants are entitled to claim what for most people would be a private expense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the cost of buying rehydrating moisturiser due to the harsh environment of aircraft cabins. However, a flight attendant who tried to claim a $2000 LCD television was unable to claim. The ATO says about $16 billion in work-related expenses are claimed each year and that for the

2011-12 income year they will â&#x20AC;&#x153;remain an area of focusâ&#x20AC;?. This year the tax office will write to 90,000 plumbers, information technology managers and defence force non-commissioned officers, occupations that have been found â&#x20AC;&#x153;at higher risk of making mistakes with their work-related expensesâ&#x20AC;?. Tips for compiling work-related expenses: ď Ž The expense must be work-related and not private and if the expense has been reimbursed by your employer it cannot be claimed. ď Ž If your claims total more than $300 you need to keep records.

The tribunal heard evidence from Henry Turnbull, a traffic engineer of Traffix Group Pty, who said projected traffic volumes would be 30,00040,000 vehicles per day average. VCAT was also concerned about the dwarf galaxia, saying there had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;inadequate evaluation on the extent of or the impact of the construction of the northbound FSC and possibly the southbound FSC (its access track or any future footpath and waterway crossing) on the spawning habitat of the dwarf galaxias. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the importance of this habitat, we have decided the environmental impact is unacceptable in this case.â&#x20AC;?

APerformance Grain of Salt GAMBLING is a rathole! No point explaining it any other way. Our leaders maintain (tongue in cheek) that they are educating the public, with their cut ever increasing. Up to a point they believe themselves, but no, it’s a disease, people. A gambling addict bets to lose, not win. Never mind the thousands who bet on the pokies as a sense of enjoyment within their financial limits; I’m not referring to them. When the addicts win they bet bigger, to lose. You may think this strange but I’ve seen it, time and time again. The trick is knowing when the lucky run is over, but addicts don’t know, never do, until they lose. We now have Victoria’s Responsible Gambling Foundation replacing Brumby’s Responsible Gambling Advocacy Centre? Rank hypocrisy. It’s a cash cow. Sport, the works, whatever. Give James Packer more casinos? Why not! Sick. *** THE earthquake of 5.4 magnitude was a worry. “Did the earth move for you?” was, of course, the opening line from most people I met the following day. It never did but it would have been interesting to be halfway through hanky panky when it hit. A normal male (with his normal half a brain) would have taken the credit. The roar followed by the fascination of seeing the walls shake like jelly for a microsecond. I went to bed, sooky. *** LET me get this straight: Carlton’s Brock McLean was fined $5000 with a suspended one-game ban for an AIDS reference tweet in reply to a critical fan tweet, but Ben Cousins was fined

$800 on a methamphetamine drug charge? Also, Brock must undergo compulsory counselling. What is the world coming to? Socrates, supposedly the founder of Western philosophy in 400BC, is said to have searched Europe for a wise man and concluded all men were fools; including himself one assumes as he was reported to be a heavy drinker, quarrelsome, a pedant, commended poverty and was unable to moderate his affections. So what’s my point? None. Consistency is my middle name. *** DAME Julia’s grilling by the press at the conclusion of the G20 Summit in Mexico was good, helped by a healthy economy and favourable unemployment figures in comparison with most other countries. Will this help her at the next election? Not likely as no one will be listening. It boils down to trust. But do we trust Tony if we don’t trust Julia? Tony says he will scrap the carbon tax. Does this mean (assuming a core promise) prices will go down? Never. Julia then travelled to Rio to talk of sustainable development. Merry-go-round. *** I DROPPED in to the first of 15 Plan Peninsula Conversations at Rye where the shire is asking residents about the future look, feel and role of the peninsula. Got a showbag with a soup container and pen; there was plenty of soup and sandwiches on tap. The big chief Michael Kennedy (no bow tie) was in attendance as well as Rye councillor Bill Goodrem. No talk of

the usual suspects – traffic, tip fees, holiday house rubbish, louts, pot holes and taxis; it was all about sustainable, green stuff. Whether results will follow this fine idea remains to be seen but in the meantime log on to www. mornpen.vic.gov.au and have your say, or go along to one of the “conversations” for your free showbag and tucker. *** TO all you lovely people who gave John Brumby the boot, including some of my friends and others particularly in the Frankston area, are you happy with your choice? True, honest Geoff Shaw’s doing very well for himself and Ted has axed 3615 jobs, but, hey, a surplus is what it’s all about, right? And who cares about a few TAFE courses and half a dozen non-core promises. Still, credit where it’s due: Ted will keep his promise to present the all-night White Night Melbourne Festival. What’s that? No idea, but it sounds nice. *** JULIAN Assange in Ecuador? Those Yanks are a worry. No doubt Julian is aware of Julia and Swanny’s promise of support “for all Australians”, otherwise known as hot air. He and we remember the wonderful support our government gave to David Hicks in Guantanamo. Never mind the Double Dutch, Julia; you are on notice to put Julian out of reach of the USA, a forlorn hope I suspect. Then again Julian did expose big secrets, none of

which surprised me, and in the process caused a little-known whistleblower to spend years in jail. *** THE fascination of the positioning of the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre continues. The efforts of Cr Tim Rodgers and Cr Graham Pittock (ably supported by the Cains, et al) to oppose the democratically voted approval may or may not bring the majority of residents out of the woodwork. Their tactics encourage me to support the council’s decision. We wait and watch. *** RANDOM thoughts: Am I a paranoid schizophrenic? Who isn’t? With the AFL, the governments, Gina Rinehart, all councillors and the aquatic centre, it’s becoming much more difficult to contain. Former West Coast champion footballer David Wirrpanda warns of the lack of indigenous support staff at AFL clubs; a need for greater welfare

By Cliff Ellen assistance; surprise, surprise. AFL grand final tickets at $390. Hey, wait! They promised no price rises; more fool you. Huge job losses at The Age (structural changes?) while News Limited talks of natural attrition. Another blow to democracy, which, it must be said, was already on the longterm injury list.

Doctor Teeth and the Eclectic Mayhem

when news appeared at 6.30 rather than at times so various as to read like a bus schedule. The minister’s lyrics included “no Whyalla wipe-out, there on my TV”. Let me say that replacing the original lyrics to a song to perpetrate some kind of parody is something of a rich tradition. But to effectively parody anything, it’s necessary to pay some level of attention to things like metre and rhyme. This is where Dr Emerson went so tragically wrong. It is clear that Weird Al Yankovic will not be looking over his shoulder any time soon.

NEW

But this was not a mere moment of madness, either. Sometimes people blame acts of lunacy on something referred to as a “brain snap”. Strictly speaking, this may not be a medical term. Pink Floyd put it better when they referred to “a momentary lapse of reason”. But no such claim can be made in this instance. For it has since emerged that this act of unparalleled musical butchery was the result of some significant level of consideration. Dr E’s lyrics, it would seem, were prepared in advance. He even went so far as to seek permission from

one of the original members of the band. I can only assume that permission was granted without the benefit of hearing the words. The terrifying thing about that particular revelation is that it suggests that this is about the best we can expect from Dr Emerson. It’s not the first time either. Last month, he performed, in part, the song Living in the 70s while in the parliamentary chamber. What Skyhooks did to deserve this kind of a beating is anybody’s guess. It’s not as though his original performance

Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers with Whyalla Do Fools Fall in Love? From there, he could take things up a notch and serve a steaming heap of classic ’80s indie rock with REM’s It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Moving into the ’90s, Dr Emerson should stay well away from grunge, as “grunge” sounds like the kind of thing he might like to tax. Instead, he should select a tune from the repertoire of another musical doctor – Dr Dre. Nuthin’ But a C Thang or Combet Day (And Everybody’s Celebratin’) are obvious choices. Or, if he doesn’t feel he can bring the rhyme, he could form a band and call himself Craig against the Machine. For something more recent, he could do worse than borrow from Willow Smith and her brain-worm of a tune I Flick My Hair and adjust it to I Flick the Lights On and Off. It was another Minister of the Crown who put it best. Peter Garrett – who as a former professional singer is yet to burst into song about anything – tweeted that Dr Emerson was doing a great job – as a Trade Minister. Even his dancing was horrible. On the day of the big recital, there is one song that demands to be sung: I Started a Joke. www.stuartmccullough.com

WATERFRONT CAFE

DR Craig Emerson is more than just the Minister for Trade. He’s also a lousy singer. Indeed, to judge by his efforts last week slaughtering the Skyhooks song Horror Movie, karaoke night in Canberra must be a dismal affair. To watch him perform, it was impossible not to be reminded of those hapless souls who used to turn up to the “Idol” auditions, convinced that they were the greatest thing to happen to singing since Caruso gave the larynx a wobble, only to be humiliated on national television because they sounded more like David Caruso than Enrico. This was much the same, except the humiliation was selfinflicted. Indeed, mockery from the press pack was notable for its absence. It is a sad day for the free media when no one feels free enough to start booing or lobbing over-ripened fruit in response to such a woeful performance. This was no heartfelt tribute. Rather, it was a tragic attempt at parody gone horribly wrong. One in which the minister completely desecrated a song by replacing the original lyrics with some of his own invention. Skyhooks sang about a horror movie appearing on their television with the twist being that the program in question was, in fact, the 6.30 news. This, of course, was back in the days

went over so well as to demand some kind of encore. It begs the question: what do you do when someone decides to pose a question to you in song form? Harmonise? Produce a Stratocaster and begin soloing? It’s hard to say. Maybe the best response to such a musical travesty would be to refer the minister to a particular song by the singer CeeLo Green. But while the natural response of most people hearing Dr Emerson’s golden throat belch out the lyrics to “Whyalla Wipe-out” would be to fall to the ground on bended knees, hands cupped to their bleeding eardrums and letting lose an anguished cry to the heavens of ‘why, oh Lord, why?’, I much prefer to ask an altogether different question: what’s next? Clearly, the minister has a thing for Skyhooks. Surely the day cannot be too far off when an unsuspecting general public is treated to a rendition of All My Friends are Getting Increased Household Assistance or Carbon Is Not a Dirty Word. But why take such a narrow musical view? I’d like to see Dr Craig trip down through the ages. If parliament can sacrifice an hour to listen to the member for Dobell, it can spare a few minutes to allow him to give his tonsils a proper shake. He could open with a tribute to classic doo-wop masters

Rampaging Rye stops Red Hill, Blues and Crib shine NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt RYE proved it had the artillery to match it with the best sides in the business after smashing second place Red Hill to the tune of 100-plus points on Saturday. Billed as the MPNFL Nepean Division match of the day, the game did not live up to expectations, reaching only one exciting stage in terms of the contest. This came in the third quarter when Red Hill kicked consecutive goals to get within 16 points. Rye kicked the next 10 goals of the quarter to stretch a three-goal break into an 88-point lead at three-quarter time. The Hillmen were insipid. Red Hill coach Gary Colling said at three-quarter time that it hadn’t been a good day for his charges. “Things haven’t gone well for us today but that’s footy. Sometimes you have those days,” Colling said. “It’s important we play the game out and take some positives away from the match.” The Hillmen folded like a deck of cards when the going got tough and at times it appeared to be a game between men and boys. Red Hill had five under-18s in the team, although considering the lead-in form of Jarryd Douglas and Josh Mold, this could hardly be used as an excuse. If there’s one thing coaches have been consistent with this season, it is not using youth as a lack of effort. Regardless of age, there can still be effort. Red Hill went into the game without Daniel McNamara, Luke Adams and Sean Holmes, all missing from the side that beat Frankston Bombers the week

before. These three would have made significant difference, but one questions how much. Rye played some of the best football Nepean Division has seen this season and it was instigated by three players. Rhett Sutton dominated in the ruck. His tap work was sensational and he was all over the ground, helping the defenders and finishing with two goals. Adam Kirkwood was the best player on the ground. He gathered more than 30 possessions, most of them coming in dangerous positions through the middle. His centre clearance work was dominant. Justin Van Unen was another who was simply magical. He finished with 10 goals, giving him 85 for the season. He brought the house down when he gathered a loose ball, looked directly at the social rooms with the goals behind him, and kicked it over his head and through the middle. Darren Booth continued his outstanding season across half-back and Ben Holmes recaptured his dominant form, especially in the second half, booting four goals. The Demons are a more formidable proposition with Holmes, Andrew Dean, Aaron Fiddes and Van Unen in the forward line. When Lyle House returns, probably this week, it will free Sutton to play a key role in the back line with occasional forays in attack. I’d like to see the ruckmen resting deep forward. There wasn’t a lot to crow about for the Hillmen, although Ryan Blake, Joe Kreiger and Andrew Gilmour worked tirelessly. Skipper Holmes said after the match that it was “embarrassing”. “We didn’t handle the pressure of the

match very well and there was a lot of fumbling today also,” he said. “I didn’t think we adapted to the ground very well either, going very wide. “Rye was exception and when they got the run on in the third, I don’t think anyone was going to stop them.” Due to the closeness of the competition, Red Hill has fallen from being two points clear in second place to being two points out of the five in sixth place. Rye has gone to third. Dromana has gone to second place on the table after a demolition of Somerville, winning by a whopping 174 points. The Tigers had 50 scoring shots to just 11, booting 15 goals in the first half and 14 in the second. A dozen players hit the scoreboard for the Tigers, Jay Hutchison booting five, Steven Gaertner four and Paul Minchington and Rikki Johnston three each. Johnston was sensational for the Tigers, almost unopposed all afternoon, while Scott Joyce and Adam Hunter also did as they pleased. Gaertner was also a dominant force. The Eagles booted just one goal in each half. Caleb Cox and Justin Allsop worked hard all afternoon through the middle and in defence and Justin Farrelly tried hard in the ruck. Frankston Bombers trailed Tyabb at half-time but managed to boot 13 goals to one in the second hour to record a 67-point win. Brad Wakeling booted five goals and Jake Foster and Matty Meagher three each for the Bombers, while the big news was the return and good form of Jason Clapp. Clapp is a very important player and

with Brian O’Carroll, Ben Drake, Nathan Martin, Dean Wagner, there is still some upside to this Bombers team. Haydn Moore and Nathan Lonie have been among Frankston’s best all season and their good form continued on Saturday, while youngsters Matt Offer and Jay Page were very important players. Young Justin Rowley was fantastic for the Yabbies, while brothers Ethan and Simon Rahilly, along with Scott Pickersgill, also worked hard all afternoon. Hastings achieved something it hasn’t been able to do very often this season – win two games on the trot. The Blues took on the dangerous but inconsistent Devon Meadows at the Panther pit on Saturday and by halftime the game was over. The Blues booted nine goals to four in the first half and the final margin was 41 points. Colin McVeigh made it 10 in two games with four majors, while Dylan Hand and Adam Jago finished with three goals each. Andy Kiely, despite nursing five stitches in his fingers, was again in great form again and Grant Masterson played one of his best games for the club in the past two seasons. Paul Rogasch continues to be a force across half-back. Ash Adams booted three for the Panthers, while Brett Armitage, Brandon Wapshot and Alex Doria collected the key votes. Crib Point booted six goals to five behinds in the first quarter against Pearcedale and that was the end of the game. The Dales were able to go toe to toe with the Magpies after the first change,

booting 10 goals to 11, but the damage had been done. Brad Davidson booted four and Luke Herrington and Jon Flack three each for the Magpies, while James Cook and Dean Kairies dominated. Pad Cadd booted seven for the Dales, while Chris Fortnam and Damien McCormack also shone. Rosebud went within a kick of defeating reigning premier Sorrento, beaten by the siren in a thriller at Olympic Park in Rosebud. Sorrento started well and when they were 13 points up at half-time, it appeared as though they were going to pull the trigger at any stage. However, the Buds stuck to the task with Brenton Payne (two goals) and Rhys Bancroft playing well through the middle and Matt Baker providing a target in attack. By three-quarter time, the Buds had cut the margin to seven points. Sorrento peppered the goals in the last quarter for behinds as the only return while the Buds booted two goals straight. It was the first time in memory that Sorrento had been kept to under 10 goals. Troy Schwarze was probably the difference between the sides. His leadership and willingness to win were outstanding, while Daniel Grant and Leigh Treeby through the middle were also influential. Lachy Armstrong played his best game of the year for the Buds with three goals and Chris Rogers and Nick Boswell continued their outstanding touch in the back line.

The last kick hero LIFE – and sport – is all about timing. Sometimes you miss the train, the bus, the ball, the wave and sometimes you arrive with exquisite timing. The Hastings versus Devon Meadows under-18s game on the weekend was a case in point. It was the first time the two teams met as the Panthers joined the MPNFL this year. The Blues were sitting eighth on the ladder with four wins and six losses. Devon Meadows was in fourth with six wins and three defeats. Hastings had to win to stay in the race for a top five spot. Enter Steven Robb. With just minutes left and scores level, Robb was on the bench with an injured hand. Robb pleads with his coach Scott Williams to put him back on the ground. He tells his coach: “I want to help my teammates; I want to win the game.” Williams looks at Robb. The young man is a third-year under-18 player; a great talent. He takes a punt and puts the kid back on the ground. Devon is now in front by three points. There is just 60 seconds, perhaps, remaining in the final quarter. Robb enters the ground on the wing, the ball is kicked in, heads out to Devon’s forward 50 line and is marked by Hastings. Robb calls for it and the ball kicked to his position on the wing, but it is a contest (time 11.50.22) and the ball spills to the advantage of Hastings, bounces and is gathered beyond the centre square by Ben Schroen (11.50.25). Schroen is blocked by a Devon defender and loops a handball over the top in an attempt to hit full-forward Kyron Pratt; it falls short, bounces and players from both sides dive on the ball. It is desperate times as the players do not know how much time is left. Ball-up (11.50.42). The ball hits the ground, again players from both sides dive on it; ball not going anywhere. Ball-up (11.50.54). As an onballer, Robb has made his way into the forward line and stands outside the pack. Ball goes up, Nathan Goodacre rucks the ball for Hastings, ball comes out to Robb, two steps, 12 metres out from goals, 10 metres wide of the point post, ball onto the left boot (11.50.56). There is tension all over the ground, everyone follows the ball towards the goal – it’s a goal! Robb has slotted the ball through from a tight angle, Hastings players in the forward line erupt with elation and run toward Robb, siren sounds (11.51.01). Hastings has won by three points. A great game of footy. Hastings still in the race for a top five spot. Words and picture: Andrew Hurst Mornington News 10 July 2012

Stonecats rope Bulls, Dogs noble in defeat PENINSULA DIVISION

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW maintained its psychological advantage over Karingal with a solid 16-point victory in the MPNFL Peninsula Division match of the day. In one of three Peninsula Division games played on Saturday, the Bulls started well and led by four points at quarter time. However, the Stonecats, through the likes of Anthony Barry in the back line and Ash Eames in the ruck, were able to hit back in the second quarter and regain the ascendancy by half-time. When games become a dog fight against YCW, very rarely does the opposition win. The Stonecats’ game is built around defence and they make

scoring extremely tough. Karingal has been a highscoring side this season, but on Saturday was restricted to just nine goals. Chris Hay booted four of them, but there wasn’t another Bull who kicked multiple goals. The Stonecats had a couple of key targets with Ricky Morris bobbing up and finishing with four majors, while Michael Chaplin was among the goals for the first time in a while with three majors. Ben Tellis was at his mercurial best through the middle for the winners and Brad Ulms gave the Stonecats fans something to cheer about, such was his good form. Kevin Lylak is one of a handful of underrated players at YCW, but his performance was solid. Karingal certainly wasn’t dis-

graced and once again it needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out how it can score against this side. Given the St Kilda connection, it would pay to take a video of the game and get the powers that be at St Kilda to take a look at things. Justin Peckett led the charge once again for the Bull and, despite his tender age, is in some of the best form of his local footy career. David Hirst and Steve Charalambous continue to shine, and James Tyquin has been the pick of the Bulls’ recruits this season. Frankston YCW opened the game up in the third quarter, booting three goals to one and when the Stonecats get their noses in front, they are very hard to stop. Bonbeach is well and truly in the finals race after holding on to defeat Seaford in a one-point thriller. Shane McDonald and Mark Tyrell booted three goals each for the Sharks as they led at every change to record a 16.11 to 15.16 victory. Shaun Foster and Patty Liston were outstanding for the Sharks while Tommy Payton continues to show maturity beyond his years. The Sharks were dominant in the opening half. The visitors booted six goals to three in the opening quarter and were aided

by accuracy early on. In fact, it proved to be the difference between winning and losing. The second quarter was a shoot-out with 9.8 kicked for the term. Bonbeach was still doing the better and led by 21 points at the major change. Justin Norton and McDonald were on top of their games, and Nathan Hicks and Blake Matthews were sniffing around the goals. Seaford needed a lift and it came in the form of Chris Irving, Keiran Shaw and Aaron Turner in the third term and the Seaford Rd oval came alight. The Tigers booted 6.7 to 3.1 and changed the momentum of the game. Had they kicked accurately, the Tigers would have led by three goals at three-quarter time, not three points. The final term was an arm wrestle, the Sharks peppering the goals for a return of 2.6, while Seaford kicked 2.2. Bonbeach is now equal on points with Seaford but is still out of the five on percentage. Langwarrin had to pull out all stops in the final quarter to get the job done against Pines. In a see-sawing battle all afternoon, Langwarrin’s inaccuracy almost cost them the match. The home side had an additional nine scoring shots, but managed to record just a ninepoint victory. In the last quarter, it appeared

the Pythons were going to cause a boilover, leading by 20 points with 15 minutes to play, but the young Kangas hit back. Exciting youngsters Aaron Shaw and Dale Eames finished with six between them, while Jonathan Hay kicked two goals playing as a key forward. Former Hawthorn player and Sandringham-listed Beau Muston was the difference between the sides in the last quarter, taking some telling marks and kicking two goals. Mark McGill and Jarryd Amalfi continue to prove they are the future of this footy club as leaders, while Mitch GillFurness and Andrew Borrie also continued their fine form. For Pines, Guy Hendry, who has played predominantly as a key defender since making his senior debut, has proven in recent times that he has the ability to become a power forward. He finished with five goals on Saturday. Brendan Neville kicked three and skipper Jimmy Messina two, while Beau Hendry again had an outstanding game in the ruck and is proving that he can excel in the position. Chris Guganovic was at his best for the Pythons, too, and Joel Brunn has been an exceptional player for Pines this season. Shaun Stewart added some footage to his highlight reel with his performance. In the Sunday games, Morn-

ington was superb against Mt Eliza, despite going down by almost 100 points. The Doggies were incredibly undermanned, missing 14 of their best 22 players. Two of its best pulled out on the morning of the game. Mt Eliza welcomed back Michael Lowry from Sandringham and was at full strength. Lourey booted four goals, while Scott Lockwood and Sam Lloyd booted five each. Sam Gill was sensational in defence, and Scott Simpson dominated in the ruck and around the ground. Mornington had a real crack and coach Josh Beard would have been rapt with his team’s effort. Byron Holt and Jackson Calder battled in the ruck, Scott Matthews and Josh McLerie continually put their head over the footy, Tim Johnston lacks nothing in the ticker department and Chris Paxino led his charges from the front. Chelsea staged a great lastquarter comeback to get the valuable points over EdithvaleAspendale. The Gulls trailed for the majority of the afternoon before Sam Carpenter and Fabian Deluca led a revival that saw the Gulls boot five goals to one in the last to win by 14 points. Timmy Mannix and Nick Connellan were fantastic for the Eagles.

Justin Peckett was running around with Karingal, Troy Schwarze is still officially listed as a co-coach of Sorrento, and former Rye great Greg Doyle was managing rotations for the Demons. Doyle has been at his old club helping in this area and it paid dividends on Saturday as Rye was full of run in the final quarter. Doyle looks after the midfield at St Kilda.

Peter Marshall conceded on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he has warned his umpires to keep an eye out for any behind-the-play or rough play incidents on the run home to the finals. Marshall said it was important his umpires to be aware that there were a number of sides across all divisions that were no longer a chance to play finals. “What we tend to find at this stage of the season is the lower sides play manon-man footy and employ some tactics that are not necessarily in the spirit of the game,” Marshall said. “It is important that we are aware of that as an umpiring group and ensure nothing gets out of hand.”

Bloodied Bulls KARINGAL captain Luke Van Raay stormed into the umpires’ rooms at halftime two weeks ago against EdithvaleAspendale to show the men in yellow the blood streaming from his face. Van Raay got into a scuffle with the Eagles’ Jordan Derbyshire and a clash of heads resulted in Van Raay needing a spell in hospital. It is understood Van Raay was reported for the incident, but the tribunal hearing was held over this week. The Van Raay versus Derbyshire incident was one of many “spot fires” in the Karingal v Edi-Asp game.

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

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

During Choices 20% off Sale you can get 20% off 20 top flooring products including carpet, timber, vinyl and more…but only for 20 days! So hurry to Choices today and find the floor you’ve been searching for at 20% off*!

Petorium for all creatures great and small PETORIUM Pet and Aquarium Supplies is celebrating six months at its new, larger store at 5/177 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. Thanks to the larger store and showroom, Petorium now stocks a bigger range than ever. The family-run business offers friendly and knowledgeable service from staff who have a special passion for animals. Talk to Alana, Wendy, Alayna and Michelle, who all love animals. “We stock good-quality products and will not force or try to up-sell any product to you that we don’t think you will need. We have a very relaxed store that you are free to walk around uninterrupted or let us know and we can offer sound advice and answer your questions when you have them,” Michelle said. “It helps giving answers when we have a qualified vet nurse on staff.” Alana and Wendy are qualified dog groomers who can make any pooch perfect at Petorium’s grooming service – Manicured Muttz. With more than 3000 products in stock, chances are that if your pet needs it, you will find it at Petorium, but Michelle and the team will also source products not in stock. “We stock a range of pet products for all animals, but if we don’t have it in store, we are more than happy to get it for you,” Michelle said. Stocked brands include Science Diet, Eukanuba, Royal Canin, Supercoat, Rogz, Puppia, Ezy Dog, Fuzzyard, Snooza, Drontal, Frontline, Advocate, Revolution, Sentinel, Advantage, Eheim, Aristopet, Seachem and many more. There is also a huge selection of fish in more than 60 tanks at Petorium’s aquarium. “We are having new LED lighting installed in all our tanks and stock a great range of the latest tank lighting for the home aquarium,” Michelle said. Petorium Pet and Aquarium Supplies is open seven days a week at 5/177 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington, phone 5975 4847.

They have been in Mornington for seven years, specialising in natural and manufactured stone and ceramic tiles.

These include marble, sandstone, granite, bluestone and limestone. A stunning new product is silver travertine marble, available in large sizes and in French pattern.

Local finance brokers with a friendly touch PETER and Jacqui Ritchie have been living in Mornington for the past 16 years and have experienced many changes. They have seen changes with the completion of EastLink that has given peninsula residents more access to the city and eastern suburbs. They have seen the construction of Bentons Square Shopping Centre and the growth surrounding it including new schools and houses. They have seen the blossoming of Mornington with restaurants and cafes making it a vibrant and exciting community to live in. And of course there is the beautiful bay. In the day to day world of finance they have experienced many changes as well. They started out with Wizard Home Loans 10 years ago and when they sold they decided to stick with one of the Wizard founders and started the journey with intouch Finance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always loved the Wizard philosophy of customers coming first and giving the banks a run for their money; this is also intouchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy,â&#x20AC;? Peter Ritchie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have also experienced the GFC, which changed the financial landscape for us all. Lenders tightened their credit policies and the banks started to dominant the market again, which made us more determined to continue to make a difference.â&#x20AC;? When they reflect on the past 10 years there are a few things that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed. First and foremost Pete and Jacqui are still here. There has also been no change to a consumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to a better home loan, for their insurances to be in order and to have a plan to help their family achieve financial security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our simple philosophy that our customers deserve quality and personal service also stays the same. That is why we are still here.â&#x20AC;?

Successful team: intouch Financeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO Paul Ryan with Peter and Jacqui Ritchie.

The huge selection of mattress and base sets include the Sealy Posturepedic Titanium

range, an array of pocket spring mattresses for correct spinal alignment and minimal partner disturbance, and the latest pressure-relieving Italian gel mattresses, all made in Melbourne. Robert and Angela are proud to state that all mattresses are Australian made. “This is an important factor, as there are no regulations governing the importing of mattresses and what foams can be used, how they are treated during production or what they are sprayed with to get through customs,” Robert said.
