Top five kitchen renovation tips AT THE Home Innovation Centre the staff comes across great ideas to get the best results from a kitchen renovation. Here are the top five tips they have compiled to get you thinking: 1. Research: Inspect as many different kitchens as you can to see and feel how a great kitchen works. 2. Budgeting: Set yourself a budget and stick to it! 3. Quality Materials: cabinet hardware such as soft close runners and hinges mean cabinet doors and drawers will glide for years to come.
4. Lighting: Consider how you will use your work spaces and design your lighting plan to fit your functional requirements. Add a splash of style with recessed lighting and feature pendants 5. Use a Professional: DIY preparation can save money (like doing your own demolition) but know your limits. Use professionals to ensure the finish is picture perfect.

MPNEWS (1300 676 397) or email: team@mpnews.com.au www.mpnews.com.au Good pier pressure: Work to replace the outer section of Mornington pier is expected to start in June. Wave screens on the middle section will be installed before then and on the outer section when completed, providing some protection for the harbour during storms. Picture: Keith Platt
June start for pier By Mike Hast WORK to replace the condemned, outer 75 metres of Mornington pier is expected to start before the end of June. Before this occurs, a Parks Victoria contractor will install concrete wave screens on the middle section, which was completed in September 2011. Screens of the same design will be installed on the outer section, providing some protection for the harbour.

The versatile garden tool you’ve been waiting for
Parks Victoria has awarded the tender for screens on the middle section to Carrum Downs-based K V Johnson Constructions, the company that replaced the middle part between August 2010 and September 2011. This $3.5 million project was delayed due to bad weather and no work being done during the summer of 2010-11 to enable walkers and anglers to use the pier.
We come to you!
Last May the state government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer section with its 125 pylons, which had been closed since August 2010. The news was welcomed by boaties, environmentalists and traders, with Mornington MP David Morris singled out for praise for getting the money during tight economic times. When completed, the government

Creek work to restart after insurance solved By Mike Hast WORK by volunteers on foreshore sites in Mornington is about to restart after resolution of problems with public liability insurance. Last October the Friends of Tanti Creek was forced to stop work at several locations along the creek after being told by Melbourne Water it would no longer cover volunteers for insurance when they were working on the creek bank or in the creek itself. Oddly, Melbourne Water agreed to cover volunteers in the Waterwatch program, a national community water quality monitoring network. Attempts to get insurance cover through Mornington Peninsula Shire were unsuccessful, although the Friends are still hoping for support from the council but insurance is unlikely to cover people aged under 12 or over 75 years. Now the group has received a Melbourne Water grant and is seeking quotes from insurers. Friends of Tanti Creek is one of four sub-groups of Mornington Environment Association (MEA). The other three look after Mills Beach, Fishermans Beach and Dava Drive. MEA president Jan Oliver said insurance quotes were expected this week and it was hoped work could start soon. The group recently received another Melbourne Water grant, for $8000, to continue its

wedding and planting along the creek. Ms Oliver said there had been no working bees since last October and the “work had fallen in a heap”. “Weeds have invaded the plantings we did on the upper part of the creek bank at the end of Marchington Ave.” The group is hoping for insurance to cover all its activities including fundraising and information stalls, education activities, and public events such as the Australia Day parade, which it did not take part in this year because of ;: the insurance issue.
Restoration work at Mills Beach and Tanti Creek has been supported financially by Melbourne Water since 2007. “Our work on the estuary at Mills Beach won the shire’s heritage award for restoration of a natural place last year,” Ms Oliver said. A new project at Tanti Creek involving primary school pupils was uncertain due to the insurance restriction, she said. More than a dozen MEA volunteers were at a working bee on Red Bluff on the weekend.
ULTIMATE ACTION TOYS
Regroup plan at the army camp THE Army Apprentice Association Australia is calling on all former associates of Balcombe Barracks in Mt Martha to attend a reunion marking the military and historic role of the barracks. “The reunion will involve a welcome and registration night on Friday, an unveiling of historical interpretive signs installed by Mornington Peninsula Shire at Balcombe Grammar School on Saturday followed by the formal reunion dinner at Mornington Racecourse, and a commemorative march and service at the war memorial in Mornington,” Major (ret) Frank Maloney, Balcombe commemoration manager for the Army Apprentice Association, said. The commemoration is open to all units and personnel who served at the barracks: Apprentices, signals, survey, music, US Marines, WRAAC and civilian staff. “We hope the activities will attract many old boys and girls of Balcombe and we’ll have opportunities throughout the weekend for the community to get involved as well,” Major Maloney said. Balcombe was a base for military personnel and units throughout World War II and was used as a base for the army apprentice school, school of signals, school of military survey and school of music after 1945. The barracks closed in 1983 and much of the land sold for private homes.
Register for the weekend at: www. austarmyapprentice.org or call Frank Maloney on 0418 728 181, email frmal@bigpond.com The public is invited to the unveiling of a Balcombe Barracks sign at Balcombe Grammar School at 2pm on Saturday 4 May and to attend the march and service from 9am on Sunday 5 May at Memorial Park, Barkly St, Mornington.

Local news for local people We stand as the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
Mornington News now published every week IT IS with great pleasure that we announce the Mornington News will now be published weekly. It was six years ago we decided the Mornington area deserved a better newspaper. With the wonderful support of our advertisers, readers and supporters, we started down the path of providing such a newspaper. It has been a great journey that has seen Mornington News grow from a monthly edition in black and white with an initial print run of 3000 to full-colour weekly editions with 20,000 circulation. Proudly owned and based on the Mornington Peninsula, our newspapers have flourished in times of uncertainty in print media. Indeed, as newspapers have downsized and sometimes even disappeared, we have continued to grow. The fundamental belief we hold is that people still like reading local news, so we set about producing a newspaper
full of information and insight; never beholden to advertisers or organisations but appreciating their support. From our office in Hastings, we also produce the Southern Peninsula News, Western Port News, Chelsea-Mordialloc News, and Frankston Times. The five titles have a combined circulation of 3.6 million papers a year. We have been fortunate to find good staff on the journey. They are people who put in far more than they are required to do on a daily basis because they believe in what we are doing. My sincere thanks goes to them. I must thank our advertisers too; their support and encouragement has made this all possible. Please continue to support them as they support local news in your community.

Shire seeks heritage house protection By Mike Hast THE shire council is seeking to protect from demolition a holiday house in Mt Eliza’s Ranelagh Estate designed by European-born architect Dr Ernest Fooks, the only one on the Mornington Peninsula. Councillors last week agreed to ask Planning Minister Matthew Guy to appoint an independent panel to consider submissions on the so-called Dikstein Holiday House, built in 1954 for Walter Dikstein. Mr Dikstein emigrated to Australia on the eve of World War II as Nazi shadows lengthened over Europe. He became the managing director of Ecks soft drink company. Ecks thrived and was bought by ri-
val Tarax in the early 1960s, which in turn was bought by the Coca-Cola Company. Mr Dikstein died on 25 February 1987 and the house has had several owners. Czech-born and Austrian-trained, Dr Fooks (1906-1985) was regarded as one of several important European architects who lived and practised in Victoria in the postwar period. He also arrived in Australia in 1939 before war broke out. His homes were featured in journals such as Australian House & Garden and Australian Home Beautiful as well as The Herald’s property column. In a report to the council, Built Heritage stated the Dikstein House was
“significantly lauded as a dwelling that encapsulated the five ‘musts’ that form an important part of every summer residence in Australia – orientation towards the view, provision of a sundeck, and design for efficient storage, cross-ventilation and protection from sun, wind and insects”. The shire will make a submission to the panel based on the Built Heritage report. This will include information supporting the claim that Mornington Peninsula Shire is “acknowledged as a very important centre in the development of postwar residential architecture”. The Dikstein House is one of only a small number of houses that Fooks
designed outside the Melbourne metropolitan area and is one of only two holiday houses known to have been built to Fooks’ design (the other located at Lorne), the report stated. The house at 4-6 Rannoch Ave was identified as a heritage place as part of the shire’s “Heritage Review: Area One”, completed by Context Pty Ltd in July 2012. “This report included an individual citation for the place which, in turn, recommended that an individual heritage overlay be applied,” councilors were told last week. “In November 2012, the property owner objected to the inclusion of the house in the heritage overlay, citing matters relating to the physical integ-
rity of the building, the accuracy of the information contained in the citation, and the overall veracity of the case for architectural significance. “At that time, the owners had already applied for a demolition permit, prompting the council to seek an interim heritage overlay. “While it is acknowledged that the house has been altered to some degree, the changes do not appear exceptional in comparison to other places that have been given heritage overlays; major aspects of the design are still discernable, particularly from the street, and some of the alterations are reversible, that is, they involve walls or materials that could be removed to restore the original design.”
Heritage home: The Dikstein Holiday House was designed by European-born architect Dr Ernest Fooks for soft drink maker Walter Dikstein in 1954 and built in the Ranelagh Estate in Mt Eliza. Mornington Peninsula Shire is seeking a heritage overlay to stop the house from being demolished.

March start to pier work Continued from Page 1
Anything other than a “straight” replacement of the pier’s outer section would have required a new environment effects statement including new water movement modelling. On Monday, Mr Morris told The News any attempt to realign and reconfigure the pier would have seen replacement of the outer section delayed “for a number of years”. “We didn’t announce the funding last May and just sit on our hands; lots of work has been done and a significant amount of public money has been spent on design of the project” including keeping heritage aspects of the pier, he said. He confirmed a new environment effects statement would have been required if the pier had been realigned. “We were keen to get the wave screen on the middle section before winter.” The town’s iconic, 123-metre long pier is used by two million visitors a year and is the secondmost visited pier on Port Phillip, says Mr Morris. It was closed in April 2010 after a storm damaged pylons and dislodged about 100 top deck planks. Two more storms in August and September 2010 – with winds of more than 60 knots – further weakened the pier, a form of which has served the town for 155 years. The middle, 53-metre long section replaced in 2010-11 saw old wooden pylons replaced by concrete ones with a three-piece reinforced concrete deck and timber planks on top. In June 2011, The News reported the outer section was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of wooden pylons had failed or were about to fail and were not supporting the top deck. About half of the remaining 80 per cent were in “average condition” and the outer section was one big storm away from becoming irreparable

damaged. Luckily that storm has not yet arrived. Last May, the then Ports Minister Denis Napthine, who was elected Premier earlier this month, said part of the $15 million project included “the installation of new wave screens along the pier’s full length”, which would provide further protection for boaters. Mornington Yacht Club says the screens will make 70 per cent of the harbour safe. The club and other harbour users have been lobbying government for 30 years to protect Mornington from big northerly storms. Two notable events in April 1983 and April 2008 sunk or washed onto beaches and rocks more than 30 boats each time. In February 2012, Mornington Peninsula Shire rejected the yacht club’s plan to build a 197-boat marina in the harbour, which would have included a 210-metre wave screen running off at an angle from the pier’s end. The club still wants a wave wall at least 50 to 80 metres long. Divers would be hoping the work includes stairs and a platform near the water, items omitted when the middle section was rebuilt due to higher than expected costs.

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

Tight times ahead as shire plans to cut debt by $30m By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will cut nearly $30 million from its debt of almost $48.2 million over the next four years. The plan to put shire finances in better shape was initiated by Cr Hugh Fraser, a barrister practising commercial and property law since 1981. Funds will come from higher rates and charges as well as so-called “asset conversion”, the sale of shire-owned land. This will include the old quarry on the Esplanade at Mt Martha, which the shire hopes will yield about $4 million and be the site of luxury homes. Other smaller blocks of land throughout the peninsula will go on the market. The debt reduction program was agreed by councillors last week at a rowdy meeting in the Rosebud council chamber in front of a packed gallery of residents. Most residents come to hear councillors debate Cr Fraser’s eight-point plan, which included suspending work on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA), proposed to be built on the foreshore at Rosebud, currently costed at $33 million but0 likely to rise. The contentious topic divided the previous council, elected for four years in 2008, and appears to be following a similar course with the new council, elected last October with three new councillors, including Cr Fraser who represents Nepean Ward on the southern peninsula. Cr Fraser’s plan called for: 1. Suspension of SPA planning until 30 June 2017. 2. A plan for rejuvenation of the Rosebud foreshore and beach. 3. Cut debt to $20 million by 30 June 2017. 4. A plan for the development or sale of Rosebud Central Shopping Centre at Wannaeue Place, which the shire bought last year for $5.1 million along with two adjacent properties for $770,000. 5. A plan to speed up building of public toilets, new or renovated sports pavilions, footpaths and traffic management measures. 6. A briefing about whether the shire’s management of Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings complies with National Competition Policy and if the shire should be running the centre and its pool. 7. A program to better manage and raise funds for the shire’s superannuation black hole and rising shire employee costs (up 7 per cent a year). 8. That each of the items informs management in the preparation of the statutory, four-year strate-
gic plan and the budget for the year ending 30 June 2014 as well as budgets for successive years to 30 June 2017. All items except No 1 were passed by the council. Cr Fraser’s call to suspend SPA aroused the greatest controversy and debate with pro-pool residents getting involved via more than a dozen questions including why the matter was again up for debate when SPA had been approved by the council last year, albeit by a single vote in the 11-member council. When debate about Cr Fraser’s eight points started, he said the council must show it had the capacity to pay down debt before embarking on a high cost project such as SPA. He said SPA would cost $33.3 million on the foreshore and between $31-38 million at Wannaeue Place. The shire was unlikely to receive a federal government grant for the pool when Canberra had recently given Frankston Council $13.5 million for its aquatic centre in Cranbourne Rd, which was a half-hour drive up Peninsula Link. Cr Fraser said the shire had a continuing obligation to maintain essential services; “contain the unreasonable increases in rates and charges collected from ratepayers”; accelerate reduction of debt; and accelerate long-term capital programs for public toilets, footpaths, sports pavilions, streetscapes, public parks, traffic management and other capital works before embarking on the controversial, costly and risky Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. Cr Tim Rodgers, who seconded Cr Fraser’s motion, said his colleague had produced “an outstanding document” that was “factual, straight and had no hidden agendas”. This was the eighth year that the pool had “dogged councillors, blinded councillors because of insistence on the foreshore location”. He said the previous [Labor] government had asked for the shire to answer seven questions about why it wanted the pool on the foreshore, which required so-called coastal consent. The current government said last year it would grant coastal consent if the seven questions were answered and we still haven’t answered them, Cr Rodgers said. The pool could have been built four years ago at Olympic Park if it had not been for the obsession with the foreshore site.
Baxter tourism rail line closer to reality THE building of Peninsula Link freeway was a boon for Mornington Railway Preservation Society. Department of Transport officials requested the freeway builder construct a bridge to carry the freeway over the disused section of rail line between Moorooduc and Baxter. About 250 metres of track was repaired by Abigroup after the bridge was built. Concrete sleeper were used. The society’s long-term aim is to use the 5.2-kilometre Baxter section to run trollies for tourist. Members have been clearing vegetation on and beside the track, and the society has bought timber sleepers from Western Australia. Ultimately it would like to have a second line
behind Baxter station so its trollies could run when Frankston to Stony Point line passenger trains were operating. It also would like to access the main line at Baxter, enabling heritage trains to run to Frankston and beyond. VicRoads is currently installing traffic lights at the intersection of Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Rd West for the shared walking and cycling trail. Malcolm Swaine of the society said it was not impossible to imagine steam trains running from Baxter station to Yuilles Rd, Mornington, crossing Moorooduc Highway where the lights are being installed.

Jockey’s victory cup run By Keith Platt HASTINGS jockey Chris Symons was tidying in the garden on Monday, still basking in the glory of riding Norsqui to victory in the $400,000 Adelaide Cup. The previous week’s win on the Tasmanian stayer cemented Symons’ triumphant return to the track after being sidelined over last year’s spring racing carnival with a broken foot. Symons also rode the six-year-old to victory on his “home turf” in the $300,000 February 2012 Mornington Cup. Their next outing together could be the 3200-metre Sydney Cup, although Symons is waiting to see if Norsqui’s connections take up the horse’s nomination to enter the race. Meanwhile, the 30-year-old jockey is being kept busy, with rides already lined up this week at Sandown on Wednesday, Ballarat Thursday and Moonee Valley on Friday. “Something will also come up on Saturday,” he said on Monday after returning from early morning track work at Cranbourne. Also fitting into Symons’ busy schedule that morning was the trial of a “rail cam” he is developing for Channel 7. “I’d already developed the helmet cam worn by jockeys and now it’s the rail cam, which didn’t seem to have any effect on the horses,” he said. The accident that forced him from the field last September happened after the races at Sale as he was loading his gear into his car’s boot. “I was pretty much run over by

another jockey,” Symons said. “I saw him reversing towards me and jumped into the boot to save myself, but my foot was left dangling and was crushed. “It took five months to recover, although it’s not yet 100 per cent.” A keen user of digital media,
Symons has an online blog and adds videos to YouTube (see Victorian Jockeys Harlem Shake) as well as writing for The Age newspaper and broadcasting on radio station RSN927. With wife Sam and four-year-old daughter Ziva, Symons also devotes
time and patience nursing injured wildlife so they can be released into the environment. He was also a major force behind the appeal that in 48 hours raised $10,000 for fellow jockey Louise Cooper, left paralysed after a fall from a horse in March 2012.
DRESS For Success Mornington Peninsula has been forced to close its Rosebud shop due to lack of funds. The service has been helping disadvantaged women prepare for employment interviews for more than five years by providing clothing and accessories free of charge and assisting with interview techniques. The final client was helped on Thursday. Dress For Success retains its Frankston shop in Keys St. Furniture, fixtures and clothing not going to Frankston will be sold from 9am-5pm on Friday 15 March and 8am-1pm on Saturday 16 March at Level 1, 869 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud (above Henderson Real Estate).

Shire seeks ‘insight’ On stage for loved hairdresser
ABOUT 400 residents and ratepayers of Mornington Peninsula Shire will decide the council’s rating at the annual community satisfaction survey. People will be selected randomly for the telephone survey, which will yield results at the end of the year. Last year’s results have just been made public with the shire scoring an approval rating of 60, the state average. Frankston Council scored 62 and top of the table was 71 for Monash Council in the southeastern suburbs around Glen Waverley area. One of the peninsula’s three state MPs, David Morris, a councillor and shire president of the former Shire of Mornington, said the Local Government Services Report “provides valuable insight as to how well residents believe the shire is performing”.
“This is a good opportunity for people to make their views known on four main areas: council’s overall performance, community consultation, advocacy, and customer service,” he said. “It’s important that councils have this data to make any necessary improvements.” Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell said last year’s survey showed nine per cent of respondents rated their councils as very good, 40 per cent as good and 36 per cent as average. Nine per cent rated their councils as poor, four per cent as very poor and one per cent had no opinion. Ms Powell said rate increases remained a community concern.

Hotel noise complaints THE shire council will ask the Environment Protection Authority to investigate noise from the Bay Hotel and The Social in Main St, Mornington, after receiving a petition from residents. Councillors were told last week that 48 residents had complained about excessive noise from the two venues on Friday and Saturday nights. “Residents advise the noise causes their houses to vibrate from about 9.30pm to 4am,” a report to the council stated. The shire’s planning compliance and environmental health teams stated they would investigate the complaint “It is likely at this stage that council will approach the Environment Protec-
tion Agency (sic) for noise monitoring assistance at each of the venues. “The outcome of this noise monitoring will then be benchmarked against the EPA State Environment Protection Policy (Control of Music Noise from Public Premises) N2 regulation. “These actions may take some time to be achieved and council appreciates the patience of the residents while this occurs. “Once council has resolved whether or not a breach is detected, all complainants will then be informed. Should remedial action be required, complainants will also be informed of these specific actions.” Mike Hast
ANDRE Mills would have loved doing Steel Magnolias with the CEF Players this month. He joined the theatre group when he arrived in Mornington in 1959 aged 20 to open his first hairdressing salon, Deauville. It was just in time for the group’s production of the musical Salad Days and he was happy to lend a hand (and his scissors) back stage. Andre and his wife Lechee became cast members of productions such as The Boyfriend, Free To Air, Wizard of Oz and Blythe Spirit, and Andre “did” everyone’s hair and wigs, too. He became cast hairdresser, a role he filled for 48 years until his death in 2008. The lives and stories of the women in Steel Magnolias – first produced on stage in New York in 1987 and made into a movie in 1989 starring Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah and Julia Roberts – would have been very familiar to the man who became one of the town’s most-loved hairdressers (and “life coach”). And the equipment and furniture used in the CEF production of the hilarious and touching play about six women in a beauty parlour in Louisiana comes from Andre’s old salon. It had been stored in a shed on the Mills family property in the rural part of Hastings and has been donated to CEF by his family. CEF Players has acknowledged the donation of “Andre’s Salon” by dedicating the show to his memory. Steel Magnolias was written by
Hairdresser’s legacy: Andre Mills at work in his salon in Mornington. He was the CEF Players’ cast hairdresser for 48 years and equipment from his salon features in the group’s production of Steel Magnolias this weekend.
Robert Harling, who also wrote The First Wives Club (1996). Magnolias in four scenes spanning three years reveals the lives of regular customers of Truvy (played by Gina Goss in the CEF production) and her eager but inexperienced assistant Annelle (Jaye Lanigan) – Clairee (Shirley Bowen), Ouiser (Debra Drape), M’Lynn (Janet Reid) and Shelby (Katy Reid). They engage in small-town gossip, running the gamut of the birth, marriage and death cycle. The play moves toward tragedy when diabetic Shelby dies after
a kidney transplant and the deep strength and purposefulness underlying the antic banter of the characters is ultimately revealed. Steel Magnolias started last weekend and will be performed on Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm, all in Bellamy Hall, Albert St, Mornington. Tickets are $20 adults, $17 concession and $14 children. Directors are Andrew and Rosemary Pollock. Details and bookings: Call 5975 5904 or online at www.cefplayers. com.au Mike Hast

LOVE it or loathe it, we can’t do without food. There is no accounting for taste and what we eat can be a very personal choice or you can just order “one with the lot” and hang the results. Food has become a hot topic and a performance at Frankston Arts Centre next week takes a sometimes saucy look at what is dished up by two sisters running a roadside takeaway caravan. The play Food by Steve Rodgers is based on sisters Elma (Kate Box) and Nancy (Emma Jackson) whose lives take on a few new twists with the arrival at their caravan of Turkish traveller Hakan Leventoglu (Fayssal Bazzi) “Hassan, son of Handsom”. The sisters had lived different lives until opening the takeaway, Nancy leaving home and choosing “chaos, freedom and sex” while Elma stayed behind and cooked. A special quirk of the performance is that it is not only the actors who get to cook and enjoy a bite. Selected members of the audience will be-

Tuna in to ocean fishing ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro THE annual migration of southern bluefin tuna in the far southwest of Victoria has fast become a fishers’ magnet. Anglers from all over the country descend on the fishing headquarters of Portland in the hope of connecting to one of these “blue rockets”. Ranging from 5kg to 200kg “barrels”, anglers brace themselves on what might take their offered bait. From March until August the sleepy industrial port becomes an angler’s dream destination. Anglers from everywhere tow boats and board charters all in the hope of connecting to a oncein-a-lifetime fish. Off Portland are big, open ocean waters and only fishers with the right vessel, equipment and knowledge should venture out solo. People who are not blue water savvy should engage the services of a licensed fishing charter specialising in tuna fishing. Portland is a long way to travel to return empty-handed. The town offers the travelling fisho many options when it comes to accommodation, meals and facilities. The people at the Compleat Angler tackle store in the town are happy to provide useful tips and hints if you choose to venture out solo. Last week I went fishing with Matty Hunt of Matthew Hunt Fishing Services (0419 760 510). The weather was perfect and we had no trouble getting our bag of tuna to a respectful 35kg. The weather isn’t always this lovely as in the past we have experienced 20-knot southerly winds, driving rain and single digit maximum temperatures. But no matter the conditions, when it has been safe to do so our skippers have more often than not put us on the fish. This year we even had a bottom bash for a
few deep sea ogglies and came up trumps or, to be more exact, Tasmanian trumpeter. We also bagged a blue-eye trevalla before the wind blew up. So now we have a real issue – determining the best eating fish in the Southern Ocean. It’s a hard job but one I’m more than willing to do. So as winter looms on the horizon, grab your wet weather gear and head down to Portland; it’s more than just tuna. *** CLOSER to home in the bays, whiting continue to bite well. The best places have been the top of Western Port and from Mt Eliza to Sorrento in Port Phillip. Best baits have been pippies and mussels with squid a close third. Recently some lucky anglers have bagged snapper to 6.5kg while fishing for whiting. This has been happening on both bays and in Western Port we have also had some lovely gummy sharks landed, also while fishing for whiting. In the deeper waters of Western Port and Port Phillip, gummy sharks have been frequent catches. Offshore, sharks and kingfish continue to keep local game fishers happy. On the piers, squid are the talk of the region. Mornington, Sorrento and Stony Point are all good places to hook an inker. Also being caught from piers are salmon, garfish and the occasional whiting. Make the most of the awesome autumn weather and hit the water as it could be a long, cold winter. Tight lines and calm seas. Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for magazines. Details: www.fishingmornington.com or www.western portboathire.com.au Email spbh@bigpond.com or call 5975 5479.

Healthy Living Weight loss program designed to end ‘yo yo’ dieting launched at Curves Mornington By Judy Mawson A REVOLUTIONARY weight loss program which aims to put an end to “yo yo” dieting for Australian women, has been launched by Curves Mornington. The program, known as Curves Complete, aims to promote long-term weight loss by boosting body metabolism, according to Judy from Curves Mornington “We want to end this pattern of women losing weight and then quickly gaining it back. Curves Complete is designed to help women lose weight and keep it off for the long term. “There are many diet plans available which can help women lose weight but it’s often at the expense of losing valuable muscle - which slows down metabolism and can contribute to a lifetime of ‘yo-yo’ dieting,” Judy said the program takes a holistic approach, combining a scientifically proven 30-minute workout circuit at Curves Mornington with one-on-one coaching and personalised meal plans. “Most people who are serious about losing weight know that they won’t get the results they want by just dieting. They also need to exercise and they need encouragement to stick to the plan. This is what Curves Complete can provide.” Judy said that many local women had achieved great weight loss results already after trying Curves Complete. “Our members are getting fabulous results and Curves Complete has now become a lifestyle choice for them.”
During their first 90 days: Member 1 lost 13.7kg and 55 centimetres Member 2 lost 5.5kg and 35 centimetres Member 3 lost 8.6kg and 52 centimetres Member 4 lost 5.8kg and 35 centimetres According to the Curves’ director of exercise and research, Katie Mitchell, Curves Complete is the culmination of years of research involving thousands of study participants. “Ninety-five percent of dieters fail — or lose weight only to gain it all back — not because there’s something wrong with them but because there’s something wrong with conventional diets. It takes a combination of three things: exercise, diet, and coaching, or motivation, to successfully lose weight as body fat rather than lean muscle and then keep it off. “The beauty of Curves Complete is that it offers women a complete weight loss solution — exercise, meal plans, and coaching — in one convenient location and for about the same price as other weight loss companies charge for diet alone,” Yvonne Shepherd, marketing director, Curves Australia, said. “This is an important step in the fight against the chronic obesity that plagues our society. Curves is proud to offer this revolutionary new weight-loss program and make it accessible and affordable for millions of women.” For further information or to book in for a free consultation please call Curves Mornington on 5975 5526 or drop into our Centre at 1/8 Spray St, Mornington. Entry to Spray Street is off Main Street via Elizabeth Street.

THEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE at the end of our bodies and often at the bottom of our priorities. But while most of the time we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give our feet a second thought, when something goes wrong it can be debilitating. Feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our physical activity, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder problems and pain are common. What many people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of is that our feet can affect and cause problems in the rest of our bodies including ankles, knees, hips, backs and necks. Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored. Problems left untreated often get worse but there is usually a simple solution if you get the right advice and treatment. A sports podiatrist who has expertise in musculoskeletal issues and biomechanics is the best person to help with any foot and leg pain or discomfort. Dr Paul Dowie, one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foremost sports podiatrists and founder of Foot + Leg
Pain Clinics, says â&#x20AC;&#x153;people often endure painful conditions for far too long. They assume nothing can be done but in fact most conditions are extremely treatable. Even patients who have been told there is no solution, or that surgery is their only option, are being treated with great success. Recent medical advances are enabling us to treat most foot and leg problems quickly, easily and effectivelyâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know from personal experience what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to suffer from foot and leg pain but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to put up with it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you just need the right diagnosis, treatment and advice from a practitioner who treats the cause not just the symptoms. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we can help.â&#x20AC;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re suffering any foot or leg discomfort, bunions, heel pain, injuries or adolescent growing pains, call Foot + Leg Pain Clinics. Clinics are located across Melbourne including Mt Eliza and Berwick. Get $50 off initial consultations when you mention this offer. Call 1300 328 300 for details.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
In the heat of the night after night after night By Stuart McCullough AIR-conditioning is bad. It devours electricity like Augustus Gloop would an all-you-can-eat buffet and is helping turn this planet into some kind of giant sultana. Short of concreting a national park or strapping gelignite to penguins, it’s possibly the worst thing you can do for the environment. It’s for this reason we have decided not to have air-conditioning in our home. While we often suffer a shortage of cool air, we have, instead, a near endless supply of an air of superiority, of which we make splendid use. Our decision to forsake the benefits of air-conditioning is one I wholly support. Or, at least, one I support most of the time. But after a few days of hot weather, I am pretty much ready to abandon my principles like a cruiseliner captain would his up-turned vessel if it means I can have a decent night’s sleep. Frankly, at this moment I would gladly cut a hole in the ozone with a plastic fork or mow down the entire Amazon in exchange for a little shut-eye. I love autumn. It is, I think, my favourite season of all, with the possible exception of season seven of The West Wing. I love the way the leaves begin to rust before tumbling to the ground, the chill of the morning air and how the weather invites you to stay indoors and pick up a book. But this year autumn’s performance has been far from ideal. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that autumn is letting itself and everybody else down by not being nearly autumn enough. By now, I should have been able to break out the turtleneck a couple of times and
my umbrella should have sipped the seasonal rains on countless occasions. Not this year. Instead, we’re suffering through an Indian summer. I’ve never really understood the expression Indian summer. Whether, much like the expressions Chinese whispers or Dutch oven such turns of phrase are generally considered inappropriate, I don’t know. I hope not. I suppose I can see how a term like Chinese whispers might offend some people but, then again, George Michael’s Carless Whispers is offensive too, although for different reasons. As best as I can make out, the expression Indian summer refers to unseasonably warm weather in Autumn. Apparently, it’s a phrase that’s been in use for a
couple of hundred years and refers to weather conditions that allowed American Indians to launch attacks on European settlements. Or, at least, that’s what the Internet tells me. So far March has been a massive disappointment. When weather forecasters started to claim that we’d be experiencing a week of temperatures above 30 degrees and that, at night, the degrees celsius would remain way over 20, I refused to believe my ears. Clearly, I thought, these forecasters are just trying to frighten us. But their terrifying prophesy of conditions that would be considered extreme even in some parts of hell proved all too accurate. Our apartment is on the first floor
up a small bed under my desk, much as George Costanza had once done on Seinfeld. By day six, I had prepared a list of companies that will install air-conditioning at short notice. I feel the environment has betrayed me and it is time to extract some measure of sweet revenge. I care little if it means that near-extinct plant species will now tumble into the history books or delicate ecosystems vanish like a magician’s rabbit. I have been pushed too far and am willing to put my principles, along with myself, in the deep freeze. Farewell arctic shelf, hello temperature control. I’m sure I’ll feel different in a day or two but right now I have been driven to madness – not in a hybrid eco-friendly vehicle but an old-style petrol-guzzling clunker that spews pollution into the atmosphere like a chain smoker. So for those of you who have weakened and succumbed to the temptations of air-conditioning, let me say this: a pox on your beautiful, comfortable, climate-controlled houses, where a good night’s sleep is more than just a dream that you can’t have because you’re unable to enter anything resembling slumber but a gorgeous, chilled reality. Obviously, I despise the choice you’ve made. And I reserve the right to look down the length of my extremely sweaty nose at you in contempt at your frailty. That said, clear out the spare room; because if this heat returns, I’m planning to turn up to your house, night bag in hand, planning to stay a while.
and made of brick. This means that it remains cool for a day or two of hot weather. But then, much the like the aforementioned Dutch oven, it absorbs heat like a sponge and nothing short of an exorcist will get it out. By day three of the heat wave, I had resorted to using cool washcloths in the hope of cooling down. By day four, I started placing items of clothing in the freezer. By day five, my sanity was threatening to slip through my very sweaty fingers. Suddenly, working really long hours seemed to be a great idea, because no one questions airconditioning in an office environment. I would arrive at work to be immediately bathed in cool, cool air. It was then that I began to form a plan to set

Old Boys poised for another pennant PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys is poised to win its second pennant in the past three seasons against Sorrento in MPCA Provincial cricket after 125 overs were played last weekend. In a rain effected first day, POB won the toss and elected to bat. Dylan O’Malley and Brandon Lawler got the Old Boys away to a good start before O’Malley was
dismissed for 31 with the score on 37. Lawler made a very slow 22 and lost a couple of teammates in the process with Eivion Bowen and Glenn Prendergast removed cheaply. When Lawler finally went, courtesy of CJ King, the Old Boys were in some strife at 4/71. Wade Pelzer (15), Jon Forrest (26) and Trevor Johnston (59) gave the score some respectibility. Johnston, together with number 11
Adam Gailitis (9no), added 53 for the final wicket to get the Old Boys to 197 off 100.4 overs. AJ King claimed two wickets for the Sharks, while David Smith was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers with four wickets. Nick Davern and Anthony Blackwell also snared a wicket each. Batting the final 25 overs of the afternoon, Sorrento crumbled to 4/38, including the runout of Blackwell and
the two openers, Mick Dunball and Jedd Falck. Zac Fillipone claimed 2/14 off nine overs while Adam Jones snared 1/18 off 10 for the Old Boys Nick Jewell will resume at the crease for the Sharks this Saturday at Mornington’s Alexandra Park and is the only player standing in the way of a Peninsula Old Boys victory. In the Provincial Seconds, Mt Martha got the job done against Mt Eliza. Mt Martha made 170 after number
nine batsman Brad Schruder topscored with 40. Ben Gavine was the pick of the Mounties bowlers with 4/59. In reply, Mt Eliza was bowled out for 107, despite 60 runs from the bat of Luke Marshall. Schreuder capped-off a wonderful day snaring 5/28 from 15 overs. He clean bowled Marshall and Matt O’Brien and had three others caught behind.
Revenge is so sweet for Langwarrin DISTRICT By IT Gully LANGWARRIN avenged its past two grand final losses with a dominant performance against Somerville in the District grand final at Pines last weekend. The Kangas went into the match having lost the past two grand finals against Hastings and Mt Eliza. Without question, all of the pressure was on Langwarrin, given it was the best side all year and was coming-off previous disappointments. For Somerville, as skipper Andrew West said, “every match over the past two months has been a grand final”. They were accustomed to the pressure. The Kangas had some wiser heads in the team with the inclusion of coach Mark Cooper, spin king Dwayne Doig and club legend Danny Weare. It appeared to be the ingredient that the side had been missing. Langwarrin bowled first at Eric Bell Reserve and the Eagles got away to a good start, being 0/40 at one stage early in the match. However, as the rain threatened, Doig and opening quick Ben Johnson snared four wickets to have the Eagles in some strife at 4/58. The dangerous Keith Burdett and Ben Delaney were back in the shed. Rain eventually stopped play midafternoon on the Saturday. Play start at noon on Sunday and
things went from bad to worse for the Eagles. Wickets fell quickly, courtesy of Johnson, who was crowned man of the man after finishing with figures of 5/20 from eight overs. Aaron Kaddatz helped the score past 100 for the Eagles after some big hitting. However, 111 was never going to be enough after batting just 58 overs. The Kangas started the chase reasonably well, although it lost Simon McEvoy for 10. David Ross joined Mark Cooper at the crease and the pair got the score close to 100 before Cooper was dismissed for 37. Weare then joined Ross and the pair took the score to 116 before the Somerville leaders gathered to discuss the future of the match. Eventually, with Ross on 57 and Weare on eight and Langwarrin 2/116, the Eagles conceded the match. It was justice for the Kangas, who were relegated to District after being beaten by Somerville in the final round four seasons ago. Danny Weare retired after that match. He returned four seasons later to help steer his club to victory and back to Provincial ranks. Weare, along with Mal Coutts and Simon McEvoy, have played together in the club’s past four First XI flags. Langwarrin’s Second XI also won the premiership, beating Delacombe Park by 182 runs. Jarrod Coad scored

116 and Alan Davie an unbeaten 93. Alex Coad and Damien Wust each took four wickets. On another positive note, Langwarrin CC legends Barry Coutts and Rick Noldte celebrated their first flag in 20 years after winning the Sixth XI pennant.
Tigers set to pounce SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully SEAFORD Tigers is on the verge of causing a massive upset against Red Hill in the Sub District Grand Final. Like the Provincial and District grand finals, this match too at Dromana Reserve was hampered by the rain. The Hillmen won the toss and naturally batted, losing its first two wickets before the score had reached 40. Skipper Simon Dart batted at three and topscored with 50. However, the rate in which the runs came was not overly quick. Dart had some support in Matt Merifield (29) and Nick Esipoff, as he has done so many times in his career, made a solid contribution at the end of the innings with 25. Owen McKillop (17) and Andrew Brown (18) also got starts for the Hillmen. Red Hill made 197 in 84.5 overs.

League medal winner Corey Hand claimed four wickets for the Tigers, while Tom Burgdorf also picked-up four wickets. In reply on Sunday, the Tigers managed to get within 34 runs of victory with six wickets in hand. Dale O’Neil left the arena when the score was one, courtesy of a slips catch to Andrew Brown off the bowling of Ross Corfield. However, the Tigers dug deep at that point. Gavin Whyte made 49, Mark Carroll hit 30 and Dave James helped himself to 29 to push the score to 123 for the loss of four wickets. Corey Hand and Ash Mills were both not out 18 when stumps were drawn late on Sunday. Corfield had claimed 2/27 and Dart and Glenn Collett one wicket each. With just 34 needed for victory, the game will be over before lunch this Saturday, the Tigers heading for District ranks, while the Hillmen let yet another opportunity slip.
Clements and Grant tie for the WB Wedgewood Medal MORNINGTON run machine Ben Clements and Mt Eliza’s Justin Grant, arguably the best all-rounder in the MPCA, tied with 14 votes for the WB Wedgewood Medal last week. Clements scored 572 runs at an average of 81.71 this season while Grant made 455 runs at 56.88, as well as taking 17 wickets at an average of 20.5. Both players had significant roles in the Country Week championship win last month. Grant also represented Victoria this season. He is expected to line-up with Frankston-Peninsula next season. Long Island all-rounder Paul Hartle finished second on 12 votes, while four players (Anthony Blackwell, Sorrento, Ben Frith, Heatherhill, Rob Fearn, Mornington, and Matty Roach, Ballam Park) tied for third on 11 votes. Hastings skipper Scott Phillips won his fourth league medal when he won the EG Betts Medal for beinbg the best player in District cricket.
Phillips has won two WB Wedgewood Medals, as well as two EG Betts awards. He scored 591 runs at 73.8 this season, while taking 30 wickets at 10.8. Phillips beat Langwarrin spinner Dwayne Doig for the medal with 19 votes after polling three votes in the final game. Doig failed to poll a vote in the final game and finished with 17 votes. Doig snared a competition-high 42 wickets for the season at 10.57. Delacombe Park skipper Chris Brittain polled 16 votes to finish in third place. Corey Hand won back-to-back R Thompson medals with 21 votes for being the best player in Sub-District cricket. Hand took 51 wickets at an average of 11.06 this season while making 416 runs at 41.6. Red Hill skipper Simon Dart was four votes behind Hand after taking 26 wickets and scoring 630 runs this season. Pearcedale’s Kaine Smith was third with 14 votes.

Wallace Memorial Cup all set for Langy By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN soccer club will host the inaugural Steve Wallace Memorial Cup at Lawton Park on Saturday 23 March. The round robin event will feature eight local teams split into two groups and commemorates the contribution to the sport of muchloved peninsula soccer icon Steve Wallace. It also will serve as a fundraiser for the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s intensive care unit where Wallace was treated. Langwarrin, Frankston Pines, Seaford United and Baxter are in Group A while Mornington, Cranbourne, Peninsula Strikers and Skye United are in Group B. The first three rounds will consist of 20-minute halves with a 10-minute half-time break. The final is scheduled for 3.30pm and will be contested over two 30-minute halves. The tournament starts at 10am and all teams are expected to be at the venue for 9.15am to access the change rooms and conduct prematch warm-ups. Stephen William Wallace was 54
when he died on 19 July 2011. He was a former Langwarrin player, coach, president, life member, club council representative and Bayside League referee. “Big Wal”, as he was affectionately known, strode the soccer stage on the peninsula with aplomb for three decades. He arrived in Australia from Rathcoole in Newtonabbey in Northern Ireland in the early 1980s. His brother-in-law Eddie Donald introduced him to Langwarrin Soccer Club. It was the start of a relationship between Wallace and the club that quickly turned into an obsession. Wallace was an inaugural member of a council liaison committee formed a few years ago to represent every soccer club in Frankston City. He could have been excused for being parochial by simply concentrating on promoting his own club’s ambition but Wallace saw the big picture and understood the power of collective bargaining. The liaison committee played a pivotal role in some serious council and state government money being
approved for ground and pavilion improvements throughout the area, none more so than the $1.2 million grant given to Baxter Soccer Club that transformed its old pavilion into impressive clubrooms. Wallace also was co-founder of the Bayside sub-junior leagues along with Baxter president Colin Nicholson. “Overall it’s all about getting the local clubs together and just participating in the name of a man that meant so much to the peninsula soccer leagues,” Wallace’s daughter Tanya said. “We plan to run the cup every year at about the same time and hope the local clubs will continue to participate and show their support. “The response we have received for the inaugural event is really encouraging and we want to thank all the clubs for taking part. It means a lot to us.” Meanwhile, local clubs start their league season on Saturday 6 April and the opening round of matches will be previewed in the next edition. There has been a major league
restructure during the off-season that has resulted in the Provisional Leagues being scrapped. There is now one State League One, two State League Two divisions (southeast and northwest), two State League Three divisions (southeast and northwest), four State League Four divisions (south, north, east and west) and four State League Five divisions (south, north, east and west). The revamp has seen Seaford United and Skye United placed in State League Four South and Baxter in State League Five South. All four champions in State League Four will gain automatic promotion to State League Three. The runners-up will feature in play-offs involving the tenth-placed teams in both State League Three divisions.

A fitting finale for Black Caviar THE William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley is a perfect fit for Black Caviar in the final days of her amazing racing career. As well as racing for the $400,000 prize money before a crowd of 30,000 or so Black Caviar will have the benefit of galloping on the Valley’s Strathy surface. Over the years since its installation in 1995 the Strathy has been renowned as a forgiving surface. This will help ease the stress and strain on Black Caviar’s delicate forelegs as she progresses towards farewell appearances in Sydney and possibly Brisbane. Bucket-list: Trainer Peter Moody looks on as his champion Black Caviar has a wellearned drink after breaking the course record at Flemington in the Lightning Stakes. Photo: Peter Ellis
The super star has already demonstrated her liking for the surface with five of her 23 wins being at the Valley. These have been in the 2011 William Reid Stakes and two runnings of the Moor Stakes and Australia Stakes. And her last race in Melbourne before her adoring fans should certainly bring up yet another victory. The atmosphere surrounding Black Caviar will be intensified as she finishes off the race before the packed stands which almost encroach onto the racecourse at the Valley. Judging by her record-breaking win in the Lightning Stakes the champion is certainly as good as ever despite her six years. Interestingly, this time her main opposition is expected to come from two interstaters - Perth’s Luckygray and Brisbane’s Spirit Of Boom. The winner of 12 races Luckygray has won twice at the elite level while Spirit Of Boom has been placed in two Group 1 sprints so they have certainly proven their ability. ***
THE trend towards importing stayers from the Northern Hemisphere received another recommendation when Jet Away won the $150,000 Golden Mile at Bendigo on Saturday. The six-year-old, trained by David Hayes, was making his Australian debut and was most impressive in the way he cruised by his rivals in the final stages. Jet Away’s victory follows the success of Green Moon in last year’s Melbourne Cup, while other imports such as December Draw, Fiorente, Glass Harmonium, Lucas Cranach, Manighar, Mawingo, Mourayan, Our Kingdom Of Fife and 2013 Melbourne Cup favourite Puisance Du Lune have also made their presence felt. Jet Away entered the Hayes stable with some notable performances behind him. Among them was a second to Hunters Light in the Group 3 Lancaster Stakes (2000m) at Haydock Park and a victory over Melbourne Cup runner-up Fiorente in a listed race at Goodwood. The effort behind Hunters Light has subsequently been enhanced.
Hunters Light went on to win a Group 1 in Italy and after consecutive win in Dubai he is now one of the favourites for the $10m Dubai World Cup on 30 March. On that basis the plan Hayes has set Jet Away for this year’s Caulfield Cup (2400m) seems to be based on a solid foundation. Hayes also has feature race ambitions for the lightly-raced threeyear-old Gerontius, who was fourth in the Alister Clark Stakes at Moonee Valley. He suffered interference in running and his effort didn’t dampen the South Australian Derby hopes he has for the gelding. Philippi, who is trained at Cranbourne by Michael Kent, finished powerfully for second in the Alister Clark and is also headed for the Derby at Morphettville. Like Gerontius, Philippi is lightly raced with his six starts yielding three wins. All along he has indicated that the further he goes the better he will be and 2500m Derby distance will suit him ideally.
Leading Peninsula identity Jonathan Munz appears to have a coming winner in Kincaple Chief, a brother to the handy stayer Kincaple. Kincaple Chief, who is prepared at Flemington by David Hayes, came from last to finish fifth over 1200m at Moonee Valley at his debut. Taking a line through that run Hayes should be able to find a suitable race over a longer distance in the near future. Another coming winner is looming in the Mark Kavanagh-trained Sweetener. A former smart juvenile the fouryear-old mare has met with traffic problems at its two starts back from a break and should pick up a race over the Easter weekend. Former South Australian Go The Knuckle is ready to win judging on his barnstorming second at Moonee Valley last Friday. A Group 2 winner when trained in Adelaide, Go The Knuckle was having his fifth start for the astute Robert Smerdon stable and will no doubt be placed to advantage in the weeks ahead. Best: Go The Knuckle

Cleaning up in Mornington GODFREYS at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre is much more than a vacuum cleaner store. When you need laundry powder, think of Godfreys. When you need specialist cleaning products, think of Godfreys. And when your machine breaks down, think of Godfreys. The owner and operator of the Mornington store, Raj Yogasingham, has more than 23 years’ experience with Godfreys, including working at the company’s head office, where he learnt the trade inside-out. This is Raj’s second Godfreys franchise and he is an original tenant of the Peninsula Homemaker Centre. The store stocks all Godfreys products for
home and commercial cleaning - vacuum cleaners, bags, carpet shampooers, steam mops and floor polishers. There is a huge range of cleaning products for home and commercial use, including laundry powders, disinfectants, carpet cleaning mixtures and all accessories.

Comfort for the most discerning
Rest easy at Rise+Shine AFTER establishing Rise+Shine Bedding Mornington two and a half years ago, locals Robert & Angela Nassar have gone from strength to strength. Both are experienced in the bedding and furniture industry – Robert for over 27 years and Angela for over 17 years. As owner operators they pride themselves on offering the best service and advice. Listening to customers’ requirements is extremely important. Time and time again customers come in to Rise+Shine and say other stores don’t listen. For example, customers may have a budget of $1000 for a mattress and other stores will immediately take them to a mattress which is retailing for $3000 to $6000 which is frustrating and can sometimes be embarrassing for the customer. Rise+Shine Mornington offer a huge selection of only Australian-made mattress and base sets including pocketspring ranges which offer minimal disturbance as well as pressure-relieving gel mattresses. They do not carry any imported mat-
tress ranges as they believe in only selling quality products. The store also specialises in an extensive range of quality timber bedroom suites featuring timbers including beautiful spotted gum and Victorian Ash ranges to American Oak and Australian-made handcrafted solid blackwood ranges at excellent prices. All beds also feature strong solid timber slats – not cheap imported posture slats which have a tendency to break and also alter the feel and support of your mattress. Rise+Shine Mornington offers great specials on all bedroom suites and mattresses. Suites have been packaged for even greater savings. Laybys are also available at sale prices. Come in and enjoy the 10-50 per cent sale which Rise+Shine Bedding is currently having on all items in store, including not just the mattresses and furniture, but also their large range of linen and accessories. They are open seven days so come in and see the quality furniture that you really can afford.
STATISTICS show that most of us spend half our life resting – either asleep or relaxing in chairs and sofas. So beds and chairs seem to figure pretty heavily in our lives! The impact of broken sleep from an uncomfortable bed or the back ache and stiffness from sitting in the wrong chair have affected all of us at one time or another. Amazingly up to 80 per cent of Australians suffer with periodic back pain and for some it has become a permanent disability. So not surprisingly the purchase of a comfortable chair and bed are vital ingredients to maintaining good health and wellbeing and as a result both have become the two most important purchases we make throughout our lives! From an ergonomic perspective selecting a bed is more straight forward because the body is in a more natural state, lying flat, so the degree of firmness and support to the underside of the body become the drivers in the selection process. However, in the “sitting” position the body requires many more support variables. For example our individual size variances from knee to hip, length of torso and breadth of shoulders and hips are critical when measuring for chair and sofa comfort but prove almost irrelevant when buying a bed. Also, when we are sitting we adjust our position many times every minute, much more than when asleep. Much of that movement is due to the body adjusting to find better comfort. To facilitate that need the ideal is to have chairs and sofas that move with the body adjusting ergonomically to ensure the body has the correct support for any given position. But all this makes for complicated manufacturing which is probably why the vast majority of chairs and sofas are “fixed” with no adjustment or movement. Even then they normally offer few options at the point of purchase to suit individual comfort and sizing needs. So how do you find the right sort of chair and sofa comfort for you? Well, there are a number of solutions, all of which, fortunately, can be found
at Luduco Living in Mornington. Their brilliant ranges of Stressless and IMG chairs and sofas - arguably some of the best in the world and Stressless have the chiropractic awards to prove it – meet all these criteria. Plus Luduco Living have a superb range of custom-built chairs and sofas that really can be made to suit your comfort and size specifications. And right now there are some very special deals across all their chair and sofa collections. So why not visit the newly extended showrooms of Luduco Living and let us help you find the right comfort solutions? Luduco Living – where furniture really can be made to be as individual as you!
