Move on lodge revamp
By Mike Hast TENDERS for the restoration of historic Norman Lodge in Mt Eliza (above) close later this month. Norman Lodge estate owner Charles Jacobsen – who bought the property from the Myer family for more than $10 million in 2004 – hopes the winning builder of five contenders will be appointed before Christmas by his architects. Melbourne-based architects and heritage consultants Lovell Chen is running the show for Mr Jacobsen. The firm is well regarded for its heritage work including the Royal Exhibition Building and Ballarat Town Hall restoration. But there is one more bridge to cross before the long-delayed projects starts – Mr Jacobsen and Mornington Peninsula Shire have to agree on the cost of revegetation of two reserves on Sunnyside Beach North. As part of the deal allowing Mr Jacobsen to build two modern homes for his

Five vie for multi-million dollar historic mansion children on the estate, he gave two foreshore reserves to the shire. As reported in The News last month, the shire and Mr Jacobsen were in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal arguing about the cost of revegetation of the reserves. The shire wanted him to pay the full cost of $442,420 over 10 years. The VCAT sent the parties back to the negotiating table, but if they cannot agree it will be back to the tribunal next January. On Wednesday, Mr Jacobsen told The News “the final cost of the vegetation management plan is being negotiated�.
“I’m extremely confident the matter will be finalised by the deadline on Friday,� he said. Agreement would see the shire issue the longsought 173 agreement, a legal contract related to the planning permit that will allow Mr Jacobsen to build the two houses and start work on restoring the 1863 Gothic Revival mansion and five smaller, historic buildings. The shire issuing the 173 agreement would give him confidence to go ahead and let the tender, he said. Mr Jacobsen said restoration of Norman Lodge should have been completed by now. “It has taken

six and a half years to get through all the paperwork.� Mr Jacobsen said he lodged a $1 million bond with the shire 18 months ago. The outside of the building would be restored to its 1860s splendour, he said. The only modern element would be a glass link between the main house and the chapel. He said all buildings that had been “tacked on� over the years except a 1920s bathroom wing had been removed. “The main house has been made liveable with modern lighting and plumbing.� After the restoration, he would turn his attention to restoring the gardens, which had been redesigned by John Patrick. Asked if he would spare no expense in restoring Norman Lodge, Mr Jacobsen said he was a builder of long repute and set a high standard. “You wouldn’t want to know how many zeros� are on the cost of restoration.

Histories snag awards TWO history books about the Mornington Peninsula have won awards at the Victorian Community History Awards – the story of peninsula men in the First World War and the recently released story of the protection of the region’s Aborigines in 1840 by the government. Our Boys at the Front, The Mornington Peninsula at War 1914-18 was published in April. It tells the story of 700 men from all over the peninsula who went to Europe to fight in what became known as the Great War. Their stories are revealed through letters, diary entries, stories, war poems and photos from The Peninsula Post, once the dominant peninsula newspaper. The judges said of Our Boys: “It is exhaustive in its coverage and suitably illustrated.” The citation for I Succeeded Once stated: “A very thorough explication of the … years of early contact between the Boon Wurrung people and European colonists. This book is an important addition to our knowledge and understanding of life on the peninsula at the time of first contacts.” The judge’s “special prize for excellence” went to Early Navigators of Bass Strait, 1770-1803, a map by Gregory Eccleston and others. “This extraordinary map shows all the routes of the [European] navigators who were passing near or through Bass Strait between 1770 and 1803,” the citation said. Our Boys at the Front ($39.95 inc DVD) is available from peninsula bookshops and newsagents, the Shrine of Remembrance bookshop, Hylands Bookshop, 1/23-31 Heffernan Lane, Melbourne, 9654 7448 and by mail order from Mornington & District Historical Society, PO Box 71, Mornington 3931 (add $9.50 for post and handling). ‘I Succeeded Once’: The Aboriginal Protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula, 1839-1840 is published by ANU Press and Aboriginal History Inc. It costs $29.95 and can be ordered by emailing anuepress@anu.edu.au The book is also available free online at: http://epress.anu.edu.au/succeeded_once_citation.html
year of gazetted history of Mornington. The winning sculpture will be placed in the heritage precinct at the bottom of Main St, Mornington. The works must convey the historical significance of the township. Council said it would work closely with the chosen artist, businesses and the community to commission a piece of public art for all to enjoy. The successful artist will consult with the 150th Sculpture Project Team in the development of ideas, themes and design and seek involvement from businesses and the community in developing the final piece. Artists are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the artist’s brief and submit their proposal before 11 November. It is expected the successful artist will be selected around the end of November, with the project to begin in February for installation around the middle of 2012. The artist’s brief and further details are available from the shire’s cultural planner, Andrea Ebsworth, phone 5950 1716 or ebswan@mornpen. vic.gov.au

The interchange will provide space for two buses to pick up and set down passengers in each direction on Barkly St. It will service the 781, 784 and 785 bus routes. Waiting areas with shelters and bicycle storage will be provided on both sides of the road, and landscaping will be renewed as part of the works. A new pedestrian crossing near Main St will offer safe crossing for bus patrons and shoppers. The bus stop in Main St, just north of Barkly St, will be returned to car parking. The project will require the closure of Blamey Place at Barkly St to fit the extended bus bay. Alternative access from Blamey Place will be provided through the car park to Eastern Ring Rd.

Councils fork out for staff ‘super’ payments By Tony Murrell MORNINGTON Peninsula and Frankston councils have been forced to pump money into defined benefit superannuation schemes for their employees after sharemarkets and interest rates failed to make significant gains. Annual reports by both councils show that in the past year Mornington Peninsula paid $2.12 million into the super scheme while Frankston tipped in $814,000. The Local Authorities Superannuation Fund, known as Vision Super since 2002, required councils pay a proportional share of a $71 million shortfall by 31 March. The fund oversees local governments’ defined benefits scheme, which was closed to new members in 1993. However existing members – including employees at Frankston and Mornington Peninsula – continue to benefit under the old rules that guarantee a positive return on contributions, regardless of investment performance. The poorly performed investment markets, particularly due to sogvereign debt problems in Europe and the United States, has created gaps between Vision Super’s assets and liabilities.
Big falls in equities during the financial crisis pushed many defined benefit funds – including huge private company funds like Telstra, the Commonwealth Bank and AMP – into debt. Topping up these funds meant dipping into profits, but local government bodies like Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils can only cover their employees’ super fund shortfall with taxes collected from ratepayers, many of whom are helplessly watching the erosion of their own less well protected super funds. Defined benefit schemes typically provide a lump sum or an annuity based on years of service and final salary. Employees are guaranteed fixed payout on retirement regardless of movements in the financial markets. The schemes were phased out in the early 1990s in favour of defined contribution schemes, where fund members bear the risk of their investments for retirement. Some councils have began urging the state government to float a Future Fund to cover unfunded liabilities. However, the states have their own problems. Last

year fund liabilities hit a record $156 billion net, with none of the Australian states planning to introduce a fund to cover a debt payable by future generations. National newspaper The Australian claimed last November that fugures it received from an actuary revealed that the superannuation deficit of federal, state and territory governments had blown out to more than $220 billion at 30 June 2010. The commonwealth’s share was partly covered by its $67 billion Future Fund. Regular actuarial reviews are undertaken to calculate the assets required to fund the superannuation liability. In periods of share market falls, there could be a shortfall in the assets, in which case the councils may be required to top up the fund. Under a defined benefit pension plan, the employer promises a specified monthly benefit on retirement that is predetermined by a formula based on the employee’s earnings history, tenure of service and age rather than depending on investment returns.
IT’S been 40 years since the Rotary Club of Mornington staged its first art show and since 1972 the exhibition has grown to be the largest on the Mornington Peninsula and one of the biggest in Victoria. Next January’s show is The News Rotary Club of Mornington Art Exhibition, recognising Mornington Peninsula News Group as the principal sponsor. Almost 1000 paintings from local, Victorian and interstate artists have been exhibited in the past four years. In 40 years Mornington Rotary has raised more than $650,000 for local, national and some international projects. To celebrate the 40 years, the club plans a special show of high quality opening on Friday 20 January and running through Australia Day until Saturday 28 January. Held at Peninsula Community Theatre, corner of Nepean Hwy and Wilsons Rd, the exhibition will again featurer a wide range of art media and styles. Rotary is planning a gala opening night on Friday 20 January, an evening featuring music, a range of finger food and refreshments. Opening night patrons can also be the first to purchase the artwork on display. Tickets for the opening night are $20 and can be purchased from Cameron’s Menswear, 185 Main St, Mornington, or Farrell’s Bookstore, corner of Main St and Barkly St, Mornington. Art show director Peter Lawrence said: “My organising committee is working hard to make this art exhibition the best ever seen on the Mornington Peninsula�. “We are on track to achieve this goal.�
It is “defined� in the sense that the formula for computing the employer’s contribution is known in advance.

OPINION
They’re off in the mayoral stakes By The Emu THE Emu has a record to defend in the annual mayoral stakes. Last year he accurately predicted Graham Pittock would get up as a compromise candidate. Mrs Emu was unaware of his activities a year ago. Now she is hovering. “Tip Cr Gibb,” she hisses, eyelashes fluttering. “He’s sooo manly, sooo decisive.” She almost faints. She omits the usual “sooo handsome”. The Emu is in for a hard session. This year’s race could be a humdinger because the mayor will start their term with 11 singlecouncillor wards and could finish it with a multimember structure. So who will wear the gold chain and drive the sustainable car for the next 12 months? Not to mention the $77,300 “allowance”. The Emu will follow last year’s format: councillors in alphabetical order, but with a new feature or two, including naming their faction. He has sent Mrs Emu out and locked the door. Bowden, Lynn, Watson Ward, independent and good local representative. A steady performer over distance, and feisty. Doesn’t tolerate interference in the running. Can steer a clear path through the field on issues she holds dear, and especially those that affect her constituents. Not exactly a Hi Jinx (Melbourne Cup winner in 1960 at 50-1) but might fall over the line if the Rusted-On faction can’t get its candidate up. Celi, Antonella, Truemans Ward, newly Rusted-On; still not unduly troubling the handicapper. Has run into interference on Chas Jacobson’s plan to expand the Village Glen, which she initially supported, but recently has apparently rethought her route to the finish. Needs intensive trackwork over a sustained period before serious consideration.
Colomb, Bev, Mornington Ward, independent, fierce protector of her ward. Redolent of Saintly, 1966 Cup winner (never mind that Saintly was a gelding: Bev certainly has the wherewithal in a fight). Saluted the judge in 2007: not the worst but almost certainly weighted out of a place. Could surprise. Eustace, Leigh, Mt Eliza Ward, independent, well settled into his stride. One of the 2008 colts, still a mayoral maiden but very promising in recent trackwork. Can carry good weights and will easily run the distance. Impressive and tireless in work. Comes to the task as well prepared as any in the field – probably better, according to The Emu’s track snouts. Definitely worth a flutter. Gibb, David, Rosebud Ward, Rusted-On, Coach Kennedy’s batman, long track record of favouring heavier weight for ratepayers. Many punters recall past performances involving advocacy for large rate rises and the time he jumped the back fence at the track to have a swim at Rosebud. Still likes a dip, but not in the sea: prefers chlorine. Mrs Emu’s favourite: she likens him to 2001 cup winner Ethereal – but The Emu isn’t game to tell her Ethereal was a mare and lightly weighted to boot. Saluted in 1999 and 2009. Goodrem, Bill, Rye Ward, the Rusted-On’s Rusted-On, the chamber’s silent man. Racecourse gossip has it that Bill is firming. He would be the oldest candidate since eightyear-old Toryboy kicked clear in the 1865 Cup – coincidentally, the year of Bill’s birth. Already effectively out to pasture after saluting way back in 2001, he won’t be troubling the mares. Others preferred. Martin, Frank, Red Hill Ward, Rusted-On, current deputy mayor. Has been indifferent in trackwork; appears to find the vastness of his paddock daunting. Came
to the course unopposed in 2008. Appears to perform better over shorter distances. Pittock, Graham, Kangerong Ward, independent, up to a point. Current mayor won’t front the barrier again this year. First of the 2008 crop to take the mayoralty; competent but not the hoped-for dazzling performance. Cr Pittock likes Brew and backed it heavily when it won the 2000 Melbourne Cup. Rodgers, Tim, Nepean Ward, independent, solid performer over any distance. Genuine trier, reliable advocate for his community groups, still fighting Canute-like to save Portsea Beach, but unlikely to feature strongly in the mayoral betting because of 2006 stint in the chair. Shaw, Anne, Balcombe Ward, Rusted-On, effective worker in the ward, possible Green Wedge blind spot. The deep green Emu has problems with her environmental form. Backs plan for the David Gibb/Michael Kennedy Memorial Pool on Rosebud foreshore – apparently unaware it will be inundated when the sea level rises – and has patchy voting record on protecting the green wedge. Saluted in 2008 so bound to be a long shot. Smith, Reade, Cerberus Ward, Rusted-On with a slight green tinge. The council’s Don Quixote strives mightily for the environment (but quixotically supports the Rosebud foreshore pool), but the windmills are few and far between. Dogged and sincere, but saluted in 2004 and unlikely to get much punter support. The Emu deeply regrets that no starter in this year’s race warranted the famous but possibly apocryphal description of an unknown Melbourne Cup starter in an unknown year: “Looks like a horse, eats like a horse, runs like a hairy goat.” Perhaps next year. The Emu’s column is on Page 10.

History linked in foreshore plans A MASTER plan has been finalised linking features of historical interest at the bottom of Main St, Mornington. The plan adopted by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will guide any development of the historical and recreational area that includes the football disaster memorial, the old court house, police lock-up and former post office. The fully developed plan will cost at least four car parking spaces on the Esplanade near the footballers’ memorial. Mornington Ward councillor Bev Colomb described the precinct around the Main StSchnapper Point Dve and the Esplanade roundabout as “a very special part of Mornington”. “The area provides excellent views of the harbour, pier, beaches, Red Bluff and over Port Phillip Bay from the picnic area. “Its cultural heritage significance is important, and being located so close together means this is a natural choice for an outdoor history ‘hub’.”
Cr Columb said a key inclusion in the master plan is a new lookout. The master plan outlines works to formalise the current car parking area, retain and improve patches of native vegetation and create an upgraded path network to improve accessibility and encourage walking and cycling. Cr Colomb said that the shire sought community comment and feedback, which “informed” the preparation of the final plan. “We will continue to work with community stakeholders on developing the appropriate interpretive signage for the project and in developing a final name for the park. “Council also will request feedback from DSE on the progress of refurbishing the area where the disaster memorial stands, including the lookout,” she said. Funding for works will be considered during council’s preparation of the 2012-13 budget review.
The 1892 football team disaster THE memorial was erected by townspeople soon after the disaster in 1892, one of the worst boating accidents in Victoria’s history. Fifteen members of the football team returning from Mordialloc aboard the 10-metre double-ended yawl Process perished when the yacht struck Pelican Reef off Mt Eliza. The football game had been played on Mordialloc foreshore where the Peter Scullin Reserve is now. No one recorded the score of that fateful game on Saturday 21 May. The yawl was seen once more, after shoving off, by some fishermen off Frankston who said they heard singing across the water. Accounts of the disaster say that the captain of the yawl was seasick on the trip across the
bay from Mornington en route to the match. He was said to have sensed the calamity and returned to Mornington by train. Also, it was said that one of the players, who played his cornet on the trip, was heard to play The Boat That Never Returned as the yawl pulled away from the pier. Only three bodies were recovered. The body of Alfred Lawrence was found with the upturned boat, and nearly a month later on 19 June the decomposed body of 14-yearold Charles Hooper washed up at Rosebud. Another body, also decomposed, was found at Mt Eliza. It was said that Mornington was known for some time as ‘Mournington’

Four artists offer their analogies at Oak Hill ANALOGY is the title of Mornington’s Oak Hill Gallery’s latest exhibition by four artists that will run until 23 November. Alisha Clark presents a series of black and white graphite and charcoal portraits while Lyn Davis’s landscapes are inspired by the coastal bush and the seashore of the Mornington Peninsula as well as around Eltham where she lived and worked as an art teacher for more than 30 years. Davis works in a range of media: drawings, ‘plein air’ watercolour and gouache studies, collages, oil painting and more recently in printmaking. Her landscapes in the exhibition are confined to oil and gouache studies. However, her ‘real’ interest in subject is the ‘medium’ itself … the intensity and immediacy of working with gouache. While it is an opaque medium, Davis enjoys pushing its limits and defying the rules by using layers of semi-transparent colour and dragging and scum-
bling the paint to imitate the textures in nature. In the larger oil paintings, Davis is still using this transparent layering technique. Anne Marie Randell’s focus is also on landscape and the elements in her contemporary and expressionistic style. Trish Andreoli has a close relationship to Italy and her work depicts Umbrian landscapes and also the famous Pinus pinea trees of Rome, which she loves. Andreoli, an accomplished and well-recognised printmaker, is also exhibiting etchings and oil painting. The Gift Space @ Oak Hill Gallery, offering whimsical, creative objects d’art and small works also will be open. All work is for sale. Oak Hill Gallery is adjacent to the Mornington Regional Art Gallery and Mornington Rose Garden, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. Details: 5973 4299.

Tender recall for roundabout TENDERS have been re-called to build a roundabout at the T-intersection of Bungower and Racecourse rds. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has told tenderers the work is programmed between February and July next year. Tenders close on Wednesday 16 November. The council had approved a tender for $933,828.07
(excluding GST) from Transfield Services (Australia) Pty Ltd last July, but one of the financiers of the project, the Darnley Group, pulled out of its plan to develop a site adjacent to the roundabout. The land was subsequently sold to Retirement Communities Australia (RCA), which has indicated to council its readiness to share the roundabout’s cost.
LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT BIKE?
The cost is being split evenly between the shire, Australian Unity and RCA. Temporary works have created turning lanes at the intersection. Meanwhile, the first residents have moved into Peninsula Grange retirement village adjacent to the intersection. The village will have about 280 independent living units on the 17-hectare site when completed.

THE playground at Mt Martha Shopping Village is better and safer thanks to a $7000 joint project by the Rotary Club of Mt Martha and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Parents can now rest a little easier while watching their children in the playground after Rotary members recently fenced the playground with support from Mornington Peninsula Shire officers and associated agencies. Rotary members bought materials and after three working bees had installed fence posts and panels. The fence now provides protection from traffic on the three roads surrounding the playground. Further work has provided additional trees and seating to beautify the whole area. Rotarian John Trevillian said Rotary’s aim was to provide a safe playing area for children in a relaxed and friendly environment that complements the shopping centre surrounds “We had many favourable comments during construction, a clear indication that this community project is warranted and highly valued,” Mr Trevilliam said.

Climate, Link, port to impact By Tony Murrell MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s leaders have used the council’s annual report for 2010-11 to identify the big issues facing the region. They say that heading a list of emerging challenges to our way of life are the impacts of climate change, Peninsula Link freeway, and an earlier-than-expected start on the $10 billion international container port at Hastings. The big picture issues were canvassed by mayor Graham Pittock and chief executive officer Michael Kennedy in the mandatory document outlining the council’s state of affairs. Cr Pittock included the accommodation of an ageing population, affordable housing and planning for the effects of climate change – more bushfires, flooding and drought – in the issues confronting the peninsula community of 150,000 people. Dr Kennedy’s big three were the new freeway, Hastings port development, and deterioration of beaches and foreshore assets against the backdrop of climate change. “Council is undertaking a thorough impact assessment of Peninsula Link, identifying both opportunities and potential concerns, to ensure we deal effectively with both…,” Dr Kennedy said. “Accurately forecasting the traffic impacts, when and where they will occur, and the knock-on effects for local townships, is an important planning task.” Dr Kennedy has consistently warned of mounting pressures to further develop the peninsula, which sits alongside
Financial messages positive: CEO THE key financial messages for Mornington Peninsula Shire in 2010-11 are all positive, says chief executive officer Michael Kennedy. Dr Kennedy reported an underlying surplus and an improvement in key indicators used by the state Auditor-General to measure financial stability. Of the five key indicators, three had improved and the other two were consistent with the past year. “We expect another ‘low risk’ rating, the best rating a local government can achieve,” Dr Kennedy said. He said the accounts have been endorsed by the Auditor-General without qualification. In the past year, the council increased its rate collection by $6.2 million to $103.26 million and its user charges by $8.6 million ($33.9 million). Government grants increased by just over $1.1 million to $24.9 million. Spending on infrastructure assets fell $6.1 million to $13.6 million. Wages and salaries increased by $3 million to $43.3 million.

metropolitan Melbourne, a city with growth accelerating toward – and beyond – five million people. He and his councillors are aware of the potential for Peninsula Link to become a growth corridor. “While the Mornington Peninsula is very close to metropolitan Melbourne, it is not part of it. We are not ‘suburbia’, or a designated growth area,” he reminded all at the outset of his message in the annual report. “…We progressed a wide range of strategic planning projects, including work on structure plans … all focused on protecting the amenity of our local
towns and villages, our coastline, and our highly valued Green Wedge. “Council looks forward to working with the new state government in the completion of the proposed Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement.” Dr Kennedy said the announcement of the earlier development of the Port of Hastings as an international container port “will require careful planning to achieve its significant economic potential while fully addressing environmental and social/amenity issues”. He is at odds with the conservation lobby when he says: “Consistent with our commitment to a sustainable pen-
insula, council believes that the significant employment potential can be achieved while protecting Western Port and the amenity of nearby … towns.” The increased threat of oil spills in a bay protected by international treaty as a haven for breeding and migratory birds and seagrass beds is unacceptable to conservationists who will oppose further port development. However, the move to restore, maintain and protect foreshore areas will have broad public support. “The deterioration of coastal assets – beaches, steps, stairs, seawalls, piers, jetties and potentially private property – is of growing concern to council,” Dr Kennedy said. “This problem is not new, but it is worsening, and climate change will add to the size of the problem, and the urgency of addressing it. “We are working with state and other
Spring specials
local governments to better understand the nature and scope of the problem, and the most effective means of addressing it.” In tackling climate change, the council has identified the significant number of local drainage catchments and low-lying coastal areas, as well as large areas of high fire risk, and is now spending an extra $5 million a year on upgrading drains and fire prevention works than it did only five years ago. Dr Kennedy also reported that the council was in good shape regarding its asset renewal program. “We are one of the minority of Victorian councils that does not have a ‘renewal gap’. “Our reinvestment in the ongoing renewal of our $1.6 billion infrastructure asset base (like roads, drains and buildings) is sufficient to ensure that the standard of our existing infrastructure will not run down,” he said.

A bias to democracy
Tech training returns
STRANGE and disturbing whispers are reaching The Emu’s idyllic bush retreat about the Victorian Electoral Commission’s review of the shire’s ward and voting system. It seems hush-hush backroom meetings have been held at the shire to consider the next step in the battle to retain 11 councillors each in their own ward, rather than switching to the dreaded multi-member ward model. Creatures that lurk behind the wainscots are reporting to The Emu and his (admittedly gossip-prone) bride that one school of thought is that Electoral Commissioner Steve Tully should be accused of bias and/or prejudice in his handling of the Mornington Peninsula electoral review. Mrs Emu is with them. “A savage!” she squawked. “The man’s got weird ideas about how local democracy should work. Elections? Pshaw! You have to get the right people in and then keep them there. Otherwise we might end up with ...” she struggled to get the word out ... “politics in the council chamber! It would be unhealthy!” Mrs Emu is becoming addicted to the exclamation mark. The Emu hears some pro-status quo advocates took a bruising at the public meeting where the arcane notion “fair and equitable representation” was debated at well above simmer. The Emu is told Mr Tully appeared comfortable with the concept, but to some on the other side it seemed a distant and alien concept. Another backroom school of thought is that the shire should lobby local MPs to lobby the relevant minister to ensure the peninsula’s electoral somnolence be retained – at least in the immediate vicinity of bureaucrats’ offices. Terror that their cosy, sleepy world might change appears to have gripped some shire personnel and a few councillors, the wainscot dwellers report. The Emu hears those rumours have been passed on to Mr Tully, who has some experience over a long career dealing with Henny Pennys, change-resistant fossils, goldtoothed main-chance carnival barkers and the like. Could any lobbying and accusing delay the Tully recommendations? His final report is scheduled for release on Thursday 3 November. The Emu might by then have made it home from the annual visit to Flemington, with beaks full of carelessly discarded winning tickets, he and the bride hope.
By Keith Platt TECHICAL training for secondary students is coming back to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Construction of a $19 million trade training centre is set to begin over summer. It was first announced in November 2009, with Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus telling federal parliament that the centre would “provide all local students with the opportunities to gain qualifications in construction trades, hospitality and hairdressing while continuing their high school studies”. The trades centre will be built behind the existing TAFE buildings in Samuel Sherlock Reserve and opposite the yet-to-be-built $32m regional aquatic centre. Satellite campuses of the college are expected to be built on thew southern peninsula and in Hastings, according to federal MPs Greg Hunt and Bruce Billson. The older section of the TAFE was opened as Frankston Technical School in 1958 after being purpose built for a high school in 1926. Mr Dreyfus and Frankston mayor Cr Kris Bolam formally announced last Thursday week that the trade training centre would be become part of Chisholm Institute of TAFE’s Frankston campus. Officially called Frankston START (School TAFE Alliance for Regional Training) Trade Training Centre, it will take students from 13 secondary schools and colleges in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. In the lead-up to the November, 2010, federal election, Mr Dreyfus warned that Liber-
al Party leader Tony Abbott would scrap the training centre if he became prime minister, despite it having the support of Dunkley MP Bruce Billson. Two years earlier Mr Billson and his Liberal colleague, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, issued a joint news release saying “a combined new Australian technical college will be built to service both Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula under a re-elected Coalition government”. He said up to $25m would be spent on the college, with its “primary campus” in Frankston and “a satellite peninsula campus to be established in conjunction with existing schools on the southern peninsula and in Hastings”. They criticised earlier state Labor governments for making “a huge mistake” by closing technical colleges in the late 1980s. Money for the training centre comes from the federal government’s “$2.5 billion over 10 years” Trade Training Centres in Schools program. “This new trade training centre will provide students from Years 9 to 12 with access to vocational education and training and give schools a broader range of options to improve Year 12 retention rates and enhance pathways into vocational careers,” Mr Dreyfus stated last week in a joint news release quoting the Frankston mayor and assistant principal of Patterson River Secondary College. “Education takes many paths, including the traditional trades and new and emerging technologies and industries, and I am proud to be part of a government that has invested substantially in the education of
our children.” Mr Dreyfus congratulated Chisholm TAFE, Frankston Council and participating schools for “taking the initiative to help create this much-needed trade training centre in this region”. Cr Bolam predicted the training centre would “make an enormous difference for generations of students in this municipality”. “Once technical schools were discarded in the 1980s, few schools could offer realistic avenues for students who preferred hands-on work,” he said. “The VCAL [Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning] program has helped address that and this new centre is another giant leap. Students from 13 different schools will be able to access modern facilities and expert teaching in the area they want to pursue a career in.” Ken McKay, chairman of the board of management of Frankston START Trade Training Centre, and assistant principal of Patterson River Secondary College, said the consortium of 13 schools in the Frankston region initiated the successful application to the federal government. “A lot of planning has already gone on to ensure that when the doors are opened to students they will be participating in high-quality trade training, using state-ofthe-art, industry standard equipment,” Mr McKay said. “It will be a centre specifically designed to meet the needs of secondary students in the Frankston region. Frankston Council has supported the schools consortium from the outset, and has committed to provide services to the trade training centre when it opens.”

Mega-port Hastings By Mike Hast GIANT driverless electric trucks trundling up and down beside Western Port Hwy between Hastings and Dandenong – this is the vision of the state government for Victoria’s new container port. Ports Minister Denis Napthine late last month outlined this and other elements of the $10 billion plus port at Hastings and an “inland” port, or distribution centre, 30 kilometres away between Dandenong and Lyndhurst. The development will transform Hastings and surrounds as it replaces the Port of Melbourne as the state’s main destination for container ships. Dr Napthine, who visited Hastings in late August to inspect port facilities, has outlined the government’s vision for what he described as the biggest infrastructure project in Victoria in a century. The government is promising to fast-track development of the port at Hastings and make it into a vast container port within 10 to 13 years, but will need money from the federal government. Next year it will ask the government for money to start the project. The state government’s vision for the port includes: The new 30km road (and/or rail link) parallel to the Western Port Hwy. The first Australian electric, remotecontrolled truck link. Compulsory acquisition of land for the port and transport links.
Western Port expansion project of the century
A port operations centre away from the water with staff controlling equipment by remote control. Quarantine, storage, customs and logistics facilities also located inland. New roads will be needed to get containers from the inland port near Dandenong to the northern and eastern parts of Melbourne. Plans for an expanded Hastings port will trigger opposition from environmentalists and others concerned about potential damage to Western Port, and its internationally recognised wetlands.
Already Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt has weighed in to the debate, calling on federal Environment Minister Tony Burke to “take action to ensure the environmental assets of Western Port are fully protected in any future development of the Port of Hastings”. “The Victorian Government’s plan to fast-track the expansion of the port while protecting local farmland and Crib Point is a great win for the Western Port community,” he wrote He said an expanded port would bring much-needed employment to the
region and open up further opportunities for local businesses. “I am … pleased that the Victorian Government has acknowledged the importance of protecting Western Port’s environmental assets, including its Ramsar-listed wetlands of world significance. “Since the early 1970s the Shapiro Report – an extensive three-year environmental study of the ecology of Western Port – has been used as the key reference for any development. “The time is now right to update the
Shapiro Report, ready for the challenges ahead in developing the Port of Hastings to become Victoria’s major port. “This is the best way to ensure a sensitive and sustainable port development. “As Federal Environment Minister I urge you to work closely with the Victorian Government to ensure that we have an updated Shapiro Report and a long-term vision for the protection of Western Port.” Blue Wedges Coalition spokeswoman Jenny Warfe said the state government’s plans revealed “the juggernaut about to descend on peaceful Hastings and its rural surrounds”. “It won’t be Hastings as we know it with just a little bit more traffic and a few more ships; it would be a dirty industrial city area bigger than the portside suburbs around the Port of Melbourne,” she said. “Dr Napthine seems happy to trash an internationally significant wetland and tourism hub and even more of our green wedges, all with incalculable value. “Western Port could end up looking like what you see from the West Gate Bridge – a ghastly, dirty, lifeless yet unbearably congested and polluted landscape; criss-crossed by roads, freeways and rail tracks. “Can anyone really want Hastings to look like Port Melbourne, Spotswood, Footscray, Altona, Newport and Yarraville all rolled into one?”

AROUND THE PENINSULA
Fireys stretched as apartments burn and fuel tanker rolls By Mike Hast PENINSULA firefighters were stretched when apartments in Mornington caught fire and a fuel tanker rolled in Tyabb in the early hours of Sunday morning 23 October. Fireys from Mornington, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha, Frankston and Pattersons Lakes were called to a $1 million plus blaze in Mornington at 3.17am at Macartans Place in Tanti Ave, the renovated and new sections of the former St Macartan’s Primary School. About 40 firefighters battled the huge fire for more than 90 minutes. Fifteen people living in adjacent units were evacuated and were forced to seek alternate accommodation. They were allowed to returned to their homes last week. Arthur Haynes of Mornington fire station said blacking out continued until 9pm on the Sunday night as the fire was between the ceiling and floor of the two-storey building. CFA investigators arrived early on the Monday and later said there were no suspicious circumstances. Graham Kirk of Frankston CFA said the centre section of the complex was well alight when he arrived. “We had to doorknock people and get them out when the fire reached a wall shared by the old and new sections of the building,” he said. “Police and welfare people looked after the evacuees.” Dean Phillips of McEwing Partners real estate in Mornington said the structural integrity of the building had not been affected by the fire. However, five of the 10 apartments in the burnt section of the building had been sold and their new owners would not be able to move in until early next year. “Checks this morning have shown the structural integrity won’t be a problem, but the middle section will need to be rebuilt,” Mr Phillips said. “The five apartments that had been sold were due to be settled in January. The building will need a new roof and the fire has set things back four to five months.” Mr Phillips said the fire appeared to have started in ground floor offices “not the roof where everyone thought it had”. “It spread quite quickly and there has been water damage. “It’s a real setback for the developers. There were 50 to 60 tradies on the site each day and landscaping was about to start.”
He said nine of the 20 apartments had been sold, ranging in price from $650,000 to $2.5 million. Those buyers who had sold their houses in anticipation of moving in would now have to seek alternative accommodation. The damaged apartments were among the most expensive in the “premium section”. Mr Phillips said the fire damage would be covered by the builder’s insurance. Earlier in the night, CFA units from the Western Port side of the peninsula and the SES from Hastings battled a huge fuel spill after a tanker rolled at the intersection of Frankston-Flinders Rd and Western Port Hwy. A privateer trucker filled his tanker at the United Petroleum depot in Hastings. Just before midnight the tanker rolled at the roundabout. The 47-year-old driver of Templestowe was taken to Frankston Hospital with minor injuries. Frankston-Flinders Rd was blocked all day Sunday, causing traffic chaos as visitors tried to get to the HMAS Cerberus open day at Crib Point and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s free green waste dumping day at the Tyabb waste disposal centre in McKirdys Rd. The impact ruptured several of the tanker’s six compartments, spilling 38,000 litres of diesel, unleaded and premium unleaded petrol into stormwater drains and culverts. More than 60 CFA volunteers from Hastings, Tyabb, Somerville, Baxter, Pearcedale, Bittern, Balnarring, Moorooduc and Narre Warren rushed to the scene and erected makeshift bunds using tarpaulins. The CFA also attempted to get sand from VicRoads. Fireys pumped thousands of litres of foam onto the truck and roadway to stop fuel vapour igniting. Soon after the incident, United Petroleum called ISS First Response – a heavy transport emergency response service – to the scene and workers started pumping spilled fuel into other tankers. About 12,000 litres was recovered, but about 26,000 litres flowed onto the road and into drains and culverts. EPA spokeswoman Ruth Ward told The News none of the fuel went into creeks or Western Port. She said the clean-up operation would take three days.

AROUND THE PENINSULA
Hovercraft slips off at slipway By Mike Hast BOAT launching ramps are often the scene of great excitement, and bystanders at the Hastings ramp got their money’s worth. Mariah Hovercraft was attempting to launch one of its craft when it slid partly off a tilt tray truck well short of the water and crashed sideways onto the ramp. Mariah owner Gary Ashton was forced to call for back-up – a heavy capacity crane. The Tornado was lifted into the water and appeared none the worse for wear as it sped off toward the open waters of Western Port. The Mariah Hovercraft website advertises the Tornado as “our passenger ferry suitable for almost any condition you can throw at it”. Mr Ashton was making jokes with bystanders at the launching ramp, but not with The News when we called a few days later to ask about the incident. He said he did not have time to talk when contacted mid-afternoon and suggested we call back at 5pm. Mr Ashton said he was busy finishing tender documents. The News called back at 5.10pm and someone who said they were Mr Ashton’s wife, but who would not give her name, said he was not there and they didn’t want anything in the newspaper. Mariah has been building hovercrafts for many years from a factory at 2061 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings. The company has been making news, too. In 2006, Mariah Hovercraft Austra-
lia Pty Ltd was prosecuted by WorkSafe Victoria for breaching the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The company was fined $2000 and no conviction was recorded. That same year, Mr Ashton failed to win government approval for a factory beside Western Port at either Hastings or Crib Point to build a $40 million fire-fighting hovercraft for Singapore Airport. In 2007 he was set to assemble the craft at marine services company Allcraft Marine – which is based at Cannons Creek, on Rutherford Inlet at the northern end of Western Port – but was knocked back by Casey Council. Mr Ashton wanted to erect a Colorbond steel building 30 metres long, 20 metres wide and seven metres high. At the time he said the company could expand if it found a home near the water. At one stage the project was housed in an aircraft hangar at Tooradin airfield, but had to be moved after Casey Council ordered construction to cease. On 19 March 2009, one of Mr Ashton’s registered companies, Mariah Hovercraft Australia Pty Ltd, was put into liquidation by an order of the Federal Court after an application by the Australian Tax Office. The fire-fighting hovercraft had still not been completed. Mr Ashton’s other company, Mariah Hovercrafts Pty Ltd, continued to trade. The Singapore Government hovercraft contract was awarded to Mariah in 2006 ahead of dozens of international competitors and after intense lobbying by the Federal Government’s Austrade.

On track searching for artefacts
The searchers: Adam Edwards Magennis, left, Phaedra Murray and Mark Dugay-Grist hunt for Aboriginal artefacts at Portsea.
HERITAGE archaeologist Mark Dugay-Grist checked for Aboriginal artefacts at sites beside Portsea’s Back Beach Rd last week. The archaeological digs were the first step in the construction of a 1.6-kilometre long footpath between Point Nepean Rd and the start of the car park at the back beach. The $360,000 path will make it safer for pedestrians, says Nepean Ward councillor Tim Rodgers. “Back Beach Rd has always been a dangerous road for walkers, especially during the summer,” he said. Mornington Peninsula Shire received a petition from residents calling for the footpath in February and allocated the money in the 2011-12 budget. The petitioners asked the council to take action to provide safe access for pedestrians using the road
between Point Nepean Rd and the national park and Portsea Surf Life Saving Club. Cr Rodgers said the path would not be ready for summer but would likely be completed by mid-year at the latest. The residents also asked for the speed limit to be cut from 60 to 50km/h. Cr Rodgers said this would take some time as VicRoads would have to approve the lower speed. In February, councillors were told the shire’s traffic engineer, Nicola Belcher, following a traffic and road safety assessment of the road, had sent an application to VicRoads to reduce the speed limit. Cr Rodgers said the application was still being processed. Mr Dugay-Grist, who runs Grist Archaeology Heritage Management in Frankston South, said the digs
were to check that the path would be located on places that had been disturbed. “If we find any areas that have been undisturbed, it could trigger a more comprehensive inspection,” he said. This was unlikely as the strip beside the road had been subjected to years of roadworks, driveway works and other construction. “They’re only going down 150mm for the footpath and this is another reason we are unlikely to find anything.” Working with Mr Dugay-Grist at Portsea were Phaedra Murray of the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, and Adam Edwards Magennis, a second year archaeology student and a cultural officer with the shire’s Aboriginal support and development team.
Plans split to aid pool By Mike Hast THE shire council has split its two long-term plans for Rosebud, fasttracking its foreshore management plan and shelving the Rosebud Activity Centre Structure Plan. Resident lobby groups are accusing the shire of splitting the plans to fasttrack the foreshore aquatic centre. The plans had been processed together for more than five years until late last month. In August, Environment Minister Ryan Smith invited the shire to com-
plete and submit its Rosebud Foreshore Reserve Coastal Management Plan, which earmarked a site for the pool next to Rosebud Memorial Hall. The invitation was the first sign for more than five years the government would allow a pool on the shire’s preferred foreshore site. Since 2006, the shire had repeatedly been told by the Department of Sustainability and Environment – Victoria’s foreshore manager – a pool on the foreshore would not be approved. DSE guidelines state buildings on
Port Phillip foreshore must be coastal dependent, for example, a life saving club or yacht club. Intense lobbying this year by Nepean MP Martin Dixon, shire CEO Michael Kennedy and councillors Graham Pittock and David Gibb plus a change of policy – which appears to have been forced on DSE by the new state government – makes a foreshore pool more likely than ever. Five lobby groups have written letters of protest to Dr Kennedy, Cr Pittock and the state government, saying
the uncoupling of the plans has been done to avoid further public consultation and scrutiny of the foreshore management plan. Councillors will vote on the foreshore plan on Monday 14 November. It is likely to be approved and sent to Mr Smith. The five groups – Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, McCrae Homestead Coastal Group, Southern Peninsula Flora and Fauna Association, Friends of Rosebud Beach Foreshore and Coalition of
Concerned Rosebud Foreshore Groups – claim the community will have no chance to object to important elements of the foreshore management plan. The main objection by conservationists has always been that the site of the proposed Rosebud pool is vulnerable to sea level rise and increased storm surges. All governments in Australia now accept there will be a sea level rise of 80cm by the end of the century. A secondary objection is the loss of vegetation and precious foreshore land.

AROUND THE PENINSULA
Dol-fun: Port Phillip’s common bottlenose dolphins are a separate species and the scientist who proved this, Kate Charlton-Robb, right, is guest speaker in Mt Eliza this month. Main picture: Adam Morton
Hear about our different dolphins THE Monash University researcher who spent eight years proving Port Phillip’s dolphins are a distinct species will be guest speaker at the South Eastern Centre for Sustainability’s annual meeting this month. Kate Charlton-Robb, a PhD researcher at the university’s School of Biological Sciences, will talk about the background and processes she used to show the dolphins are a previously unidentified type of common bottlenose dolphin. Port Phillip’s dolphins have been
named the Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis). Ms Charlton-Robb’s work confirmed long-held views first put forward by dolphin researchers who started studying the bay’s mammals in the early 1980s. Her findings have been published in the latest PLoS ONE journal and reveal coastal dolphins in southern Australia greatly differ from any other bottlenose dolphin worldwide. The new species is smaller and has three tones of colour compared with
other common bottlenose dolphins. She will discuss the background and processes she employed. “This is an incredibly fascinating discovery as there have only been three new dolphin species formally described and recognised since the late 1800s,” she said. “What makes this even more exciting is this dolphin species has been living right under our noses, with only two known resident populations – in Port Phillip and the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria.”
Dr Kevin Rowe, Museum Victoria’s senior curator of mammals, said Ms Charlton-Robb’s discovery was an exciting example of a recent trend in biodiversity research across Victoria and Australia. “Through the careful application of emerging technologies to museum specimens, researchers are revealing that our biological heritage is far more diverse than we realise. Ms Charlton-Robb said it was important the researched continued in order to conserve and protect the spe-
cies for future generations. She will also discuss the implications of climate change and its impact on the species. Also at the meeting will be performance poets who took part in the centre’s recent ‘Go Green Slam’ environmental poetry competition. International bossa nova (summer jazz) artist Adam Dunning will perform. The meeting is at 7pm on Friday 11 November at Mt Eliza Community Centre, 90 Canadian Bay Rd.

Healthy Living Retinal imaging using state-of-the-art equipment
Tips to avoid high heel hell MANY women love high heels. They elongate the leg, provide height, and finesse an outfit. But they can mean hell, having adverse effects on feet, legs, knees, hips, pelvis and backs. So what can you do? The good news is you don’t have to give up your high heels. Paul Dowie, one of Australia’s leading sports podiatrists, and founder of the Foot & Leg Pain Clinics specialises in solutions for foot and leg pain. “You should be able to get out and socialise in your high heels, it’s just a matter of proper foot and shoe education,” he said. “Medically prescribed orthotic devices, soft tissue treatment, specific exercises and individual footwear recommendation all assist in alleviating symptoms and improving mobility and function to keep you pain free for partying.” Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have tips for happier, healthier feet and legs: Don’t buy shoes that require a “break-in period”. Shoes should be comfortable immediately. Shop for footwear at the end of the day to allow for swelling. Feet can swell by up to 10 per cent during a day. Wear properly fitted, supporting shoes with lower heels whenever possible.
If you have orthotics, wear them whenever possible. Opt for lower heels when possible. Otherwise try a wedge or platform shoe. Wedges can provide more support and stability, platforms can decrease the angle of the foot and therefore decrease stress, although platform shoes can increase instability if too high. If wearing high heels to work, try wearing runners or more comfortable shoes to and from work, especially if walking is involved. Slip heels off whenever possible, for example, at your desk, in the car or under the dinner table. Even when sitting, high heels can put your feet and legs in an unnatural position, causing stress. Get any foot or leg soreness, postural discomfort, bunions or injuries checked by an experienced sports podiatrist, who specialises in musculoskeletal issues. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues but there is often a simple solution. Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have 18 clinics across Melbourne, including Mt Eliza. They’re offering $50 off initial consultations. Call 1300 328 300 or visit footlegpainclinics.com.au.
By Barbara Old of John Old Optomotrists WE have invested in state-of-the-art retinal equipment to ensure we are providing you with a high level of eye care. Retinal imaging is a recent technological advancement in eye care. It enables us to capture a digital image of the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve located at the back of your eyes. This aids in the early detection and management of diseases that can affect both your eyes and overall health. This includes glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes and hypertension. With retinal imaging technology we can detect the most subtle changes to the structures at the back of your eyes.
How does it work? It’s just like having a normal picture taken. We take a digital image of the back of each eye, which we can view instantly and discuss our findings with you. We’ll then store these electronically ready for comparison on your next visit, allowing us to monitor any changes over time. How will you benefit? We can manage your eye health better than ever before with retinal imaging. It allows for a more detailed view that cannot be achieved by conventional methods. By monitoring any changes to the back of your eyes, we can provide a referral to another health care professional where required.
Early detection is important because treatment at an early stage can delay progression and reduce the severity of eye diseases and other health conditions, including diabetes. We recommend that retinal imaging be part of every regular eye examination. As an extra service, retinal imaging is included in your consultation. While it is not covered by Medicare, at John Old Optometrist we offer this free of charge. This assists in the early detection and management of diseases that can affect both your eyes and overall health. For an appointment to have you eyes and vision examined, call John Old Optometrist on 5975 5720.

Sustainability Street is supported by
SUSTAINABILITY Street is a community-based program centred around sustainable living and encouraging people to meet their neighbours, share practical ways to live more sustainably, and work collectively on sustainability projects. More than 200 Sustainability Street groups are in Australia from Tasmania to Perth with more being set up all the time. Since June, three Sustainability Street groups have started on the Mornington Peninsula – at Balnarring, West Rosebud and Red Hill. The groups have been working on community projects such as plant swaps and workshops on composting, permaculture, pruning, and seed saving. Sharing of Stories is on Sunday 20 November from 1-5pm at Mt Martha Community House. You can find out what the groups have been doing. Connect with like-minded people, have fun and be inspired by their passion. RSVP required. For details call Nicci on 5950 1259.
Jason Cox, a member of the first Sustainability Street group established in Coburg in 2003, said: “One of our first Sustainability Street projects was to plant the nature strip with indigenous plants. “Before too long, people in other streets not directly connected to the Sustainability Street project began to turn
their nature strips into habitat. “With time, Sustainability Street shifts from being something a community does to becoming something a community is.” Sustainability Street is supported by

Reflux, heartburn and GORD What is reflux? REFLUX occurs when the acid in your stomach, which helps digest food, rises up into the oesophagus. The stomach has a thick mucous lining that protects it from the acids inside, but the oesophagus doesn’t have this protection. When it is exposed to acid, it may become irritated and painful, leading to symptoms of heartburn. What is heartburn? Heartburn is a burning sensation that rises from the stomach or lower chest towards the throat. It is the most common symptom of reflux and GORD (gastro-oesophageal reflux
disease). Up to 20 per cent of adults experience heartburn at least once a week. What is GORD? If you experience heartburn or other symptoms of reflux more than twice a week, or if your heartburn interferes with your daily life, you may have the medical condition GORD. If left untreated, GORD can lead to other medical problems. Other symptoms of GORD include: excessive burping, regurgitation, sudden filling of the mouth with saliva, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, persistent dry cough and chest pain. If you are experiencing chest pain, contact your doctor im-
mediately. At LAPSurgery Australia we have the latest in Manometry technology to accurately diagnose reflux disease. In our clinics you can be assessed, diagnosed, given dietary advice and, if necessary, offered a surgical solution. A referral from your GP is required for consultation with one of our surgeons regarding High Resolution Manometry (Manoscan). Talk to your GP regarding a care plan for a visit to our dietitian for advice on managing reflux disease or heartburn. For appointments or queries, phone 9760 2777.

King of T-Pain sounds like a bum rap By Stuart McCullough BUYING a gift for a two year old should be easy. I’ve seen kids at that age entertained for hours by little more than a cardboard box or a wooden spoon. By this definition, a few bottletops and a roll of sticky tape should keep them occupied until well after Christmas. But where, I ask, is the fun in that? My demands were simple. I wanted a toy that was both mind-blowingly awesome and easy to wrap. Most of all, I wanted something of a musical nature. Let me say that toy stores are not what they used to be. More than that, toy stores are not where they used to be, which was tucked away in a distant corner of every half-decent shopping centre known to humanity. These were more than just de facto childcare centres; they were places of wonderment that felt like an entire universe for the sole enjoyment of children. But much like imperial measurement and singers who can sing without aid of a computer, such things are now extinct. There are, it would seem, no more toy stores. There are only toy departments inside much larger stores. This has had a clear effect on quality. All I wanted was a little keyboard suitable for use by a two year old. This, as it turns out, was almost impossible to find. Instead, every television show had some kind of product for sale. It was as though the controls have now been permanently set to “shameless cash in”.
qualified. With the possible exception of the batteries, any object that might wear out was also of no use. What I needed was the musical equivalent of a Sherman tank. In store after store, I scoured every toy department I could find in search of a suitable gift. Like a man searching for Lasseter’s Reef, I began to descend into madness as I travelled along aisle after endless aisle. It was then that I saw it. Some things are so truly awful that there is a kind
There was the Glee karaoke machine, the Hannah Montana nose hair trimmer and an inflatable horse inspired by the television show Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman. These were not toys but franchise offcuts. It was dispiriting. What I wanted was a basic musical keyboard that was sturdy enough to take anything a two year old could dish out while maintaining its musical accuracy. Therefore, anything that could go out of tune was instantly dis-

of beauty in their hideousness. Among the dolls, board games and plastic toys stood an object so plainly objectionable that its mere existence demanded its purchase. I speak, of course, of the “I Am T-Pain microphone”. An explanation may be in order. For those of you about to ask “what’s a TPain?”, you should hold your horses, feed them some sugar and then lead those gentle but noble beasts back to the stable because you will not be needing them. T-Pain is not a “what”. T-Pain is a who. Born Faheem Rasheed Najm, T-Pain is described as a singer-songwriter, record producer, rapper and actor. As it happens, this exact same description appears on the bottom of every email I send, but this is where the similarities end. For T-Pain and I part company on the question of spelling and punctuation. Suffice to say, his debut album was entitled Rappa Ternt Sanga. It’s as if he was deliberately trying to provoke the spell check function on every computer in the universe. It gets worse. Much, much worse. His songs include Take Your Shirt Off, Reverse Cowgirl and what I can only assume is a sensitive power ballad popular at weddings the world over, I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper). It is therefore only natural that he should move into making children’s toys. But before you snort derisively and reach for your “Tom Jones 2000 wonder-mike”, the all-new “I Am T-Pain” microphone comes with a promise that it will make you sound like T-Pain. I suppose that’s all right, so long as it
doesn’t make you spell like him. As a singer, I suspect T-Pain made a wonderful rapper. His recordings are noted for their heavy use of something called Auto-Tune. This is a technology that mechanically tunes the voice so that the singer is in pitch. If used modestly, it’s probably a useful way to tidy up little mistakes. However, if restraint is tossed out the window with all the abandon of a rotten apple core, you end up with Cher. For the sake of argument, for those who think that the Cher song If You Believe in Love represents humanity’s finest achievement to date, then the liberal use of Auto-Tune will be as computer-corrected music to your ears of clay. For me, I can’t stand it. I’m not sure which of T-Pain’s songs a two year old is supposed to sing with the I Am T-Pain microphone. I’m not really sure that T-Pain is quite the singer young kids should be looking up to but, try as I might, the “I Am Sam Cooke” and “I Am Aretha Franklin” microphones were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they were out of stock. I suppose everyone’s entitled to make a living, but I’m surprised that T-Pain has chosen children’s toys in his bid for diversification. I’d have much preferred him take a risk and endorse his own range of surgical scrubs or autographed spatulas. If that’s no good, then at least his own range of paracetamol products, promising “T-Pain relief”. They could give them away free with each microphone. www.stuartmccullough.com

Entertainment KEVIN Borich is one of Australia’s leading guitarists having started his journey in New Zealand in 1965 as part of the Kiwi group La De Das, which had a NZ No. 1 hit with the single Hey Baby. Two years later they headed to Australia and after many line-up changes the band became a trio and scored three top 20 hits from 1971-74 with Gonna See My Baby Tonight, Morning Good Morning and Too Pooped to Pop. After the band called it quits, Kevin (pictured) formed Kevin Borich Express, while bassist Ronnie Peel became Rockwell T James and released the single Come on Home (1976). Ronnie also played with John Paul Young. Kevin Borich Express toured the United States, played a few gigs with AC/DC and released the album Celebration with its singles Going Down Town, Behind Blue Eyes and Tango Queen. By now Kevin had established himself as a major guitarist in Australia, touring the nation and being compared to the likes of Eric Clapton, Kirk Hammett and Ry Cooder. Mondo Rock bass player Paul Christie then started a new project –
Party Boys – and invited Kevin, Buzz Bidstrup (Angels) and Harvey James (Sherbet) to join him. They released a string of rock covers including John Kongos’s He’s Gonna Step on You Again and Argent’s Hold Your Head Up. Kevin has shared the stage with likes of Joe Walsh, Elton John, Jeff Beck, Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), Living Colour, John Mayall, and Status Quo. He won the Australian Rock Music Awards guitarist of the year twice.
Kevin will perform at the Caravan Club in Oakleigh on 18 November, St Andrews Hotel in St Andrews on 19 November and Ruby’s Lounge in Belgrave on 20 November. www.kevinborich1.com *** THE 25th ARIA Awards are on Sunday 27 November. EMI Music Australia did well with 19 nominations including Birds of Tokyo, Grinderman, Keith Urban, Oh Mercy, Angus and Julia Stone, and Miami Horror. *** THE Go Show! returns to Melbourne next March after a successful run earlier this year. Baby Boomers came out in force for the 45-year anniversary tour, “Go!! Show Gold”, and we all relived the music of our youth. Parents brought their children to share their music memories and fans turned up in the ‘Mod’ fashions of the 1960s. Programs and merchandise sold out, and hundreds of fans lined up after the concerts to meet their pop idols. The Go!! Show hit television screens in 1964 to become the must-watch music show for teenagers. On stage together for the first time since the television show will be Masters Apprentices, MPD Ltd, Dinah
Lee, Darryl Cotton, Tony Worsley, Johnny Young, Normie Rowe, Ronnie Burns, Bobby Bright, Marcie Jones, and Ian Turpie. Music producer and show founder Dennis Smith said: “I was involved in the production of the original show and always felt there would be interest in an anniversary concert, but even I was taken by surprise at the amount of interest the show generated and the calls I have had for another tour.” The concert is at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on Friday 9 March. Tickets are on sale from 136 100. *** COLDPLAY, arguably the biggest band in the world, has released its fifth album, Mylo Xyloto (EMI). It follows 2008’s Viva La Vida, which went to No. 1 in 36 countries, including Australia, the United States and United Kingdom. The band has released a new video for Paradise, filmed in London and South Africa. Coldplay paid tribute to the late Steve Jobs at his memorial service in the US when they performed Fix You, Yellow and other tracks at an outdoor amphitheatre on Apple’s headquarters campus.

so it’s 18 hours of pleasure. Deduct time for my weekly shower and shave, two glasses of water for toilet training, meals, newspaper, coffee shop and at least six lots of walking from room to room looking for something (glasses, watch, mobile phone) including mandatory stoppages to recall what it was I was looking for. Woolworths for cigarettes, home-brand products and one tiny banana. The half hour when I write this column followed by a fitness walk to my RSL to console the losers over a beer or three.

First was a contraption to transfer videos to DVDs. I had forgotten I had one so I bought a second, both of which were for PCs, not Macs. Then a swish expensive voice recorder, then a video camera. After showing me how (having no understanding of instruction manuals), he explained that my iPhone does all these things for free and transfers to my computer.

You can earn good money here, and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat. So please don’t trouble any of the other employees”. The cannibals agreed. Four weeks later the boss returns and says, “You’re all working very hard, and I’m very satisfied with all of you. However, one of our janitors has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to him?” The cannibals all shake their heads no. After the boss has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others, “Which of you idiots ate the janitor?” A hand raises hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals replies, “You fool!

Sheikh Mohammed poised to take Sandown Guineas SHEIKH Mohammed of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, who controls the world’s largest thoroughbred empire, seems poised to win the Sandown Guineas (1600m) on Saturday week for the third time in four runnings with Galah. His maroon jacket and white sleeves were carried to victory by Caymans (2008) and Kidnapped (2009).
Although Galah only scored a laststride victory in the Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Flemington, he will be better suited to the Sandown circuit.
As trainer Peter Snowden says, Galah, who has raced only five times for four wins and a second, is “still learning his trade”. “He seemed to lose concentration at Flemington because he was looking around most of the way down the straight,” Snowden said. “With a crowd of over 90,000, I think he was distracted by all the noise and
that caused him to lose his momentum. “The Sandown Guineas is the race we’ve been aiming at all along and I believe we will see a different, more professional horse when he runs in the Guineas.” Over the years the Carbine Club Stakes has been a good guide to the Guineas and this year’s running is again likely to provide the winner with On a mission: Left, Zipping wins the Sandown Classic last year watched by Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai, below, who has the world’s largest thoroughbred empire and is set to win the Sandown Guineas with Galah.

Highly Recommend, Saint Etienne, First Course, Meethaq, and Cross Of Gold all holding legitimate claims. The other feature race on the program – formerly the Sandown Classic – has been completely dominated in recently times by the courageous performer and now-retired Zipping. One of the old stagers of the Australian turf, Zipping made the race his own by winning four successive times, in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Zipping’s outstanding record has been honoured by the Melbourne Racing Club, which has changed the name of the Sandown Classic to the Zipping Classic. However, whether Lloyd Williams can win the Classic for a fifth consecutive year is problematical. Although we are still waiting for the dust to settle following the Melbourne Cup, at this stage the dark blue and white colours could possibly be carried by any of Green Moon, Midas Tough, Mourayan, At First Sight or Bendigo Cup winner Tanby. Horses to catch my eye over the past week have been Macedonian, Rahveel, Zamorar, Isopach, Dysphonia, Skyerush, Rarefied. Metallurgical, Catapulted, and Thankgodyou’rehere. Best: Dysphonia.

Hyundai makes impression HYUNDAI Australia has launched the latest addition to the Hyundai range – the all-new i40 Tourer. Designed in Russelsheim, Germany, the i40 Tourer has a European-inspired pedigree, presenting a polished and sophisticated interpretation of Hyundai’s “fluidic sculpture” design language. Featuring the latest technologies, along with a focus on practicality and driving dynamics, the i40 Tourer incorporates all the characteristics expected from a flagship product. The i40 Tourer brings an exciting wagon alternative to the medium car segment with a striking on-road presence. It de-
livers a high level of luxury and performance, offering modern design, surprising interior space and an abundance of comfort and safety features while offering advanced technology, fuel efficiency and performance. The i40 Tourer’s interior design is an extension of its organically flowing exterior. The use of ambient lighting coupled with piano black inserts and brushed aluminium effect garnishes (Elite and Premium variants) create a luxurious and thoroughly modern interior setting. All buttons and switches are easily reached by the driver, emphasising the driver-centric nature of the interior design.
The cabin space reflects a stylish, modern and practical approach, providing conveniences such as a multi-point lighting system and one-touch (auto up and down) window controls for all windows. There are numerous stowage options for front and rear passengers, as well as a glove box cooling system (Elite and Premium variants). The i40 Tourer Premium variants offer all-new Hyundai technology including air ventilated front sports bucket seats and heated front and rear seats, supplemented with an Integrated Memory Seat (IMS) system that allows the driver to store two preferred seating positions.
