Whale’s death a sign of health THE number of whales being washed up dead on our beaches may be a result of the overall increase in the whale populations. The latest carcass to come ashore on the Mornington Peninsula was found earlier this month at the western end of Koonya Beach, near Sorrento. Dolphin Research Centre executive director Jeff Weir said the 9.5-metre humpback had been “heavily hammered� by sharks before being washed ashore. It blubber was not very thick, which was a normal condition for a sub-adult humpback that had completed a long migration from the Antarctic. Mr Weir said the humpback was one of “a handful� recently reported washed ashore between the peninsula and southern New South Wales. “We don’t think there’s anything strange happening and there’s no need to go looking for a smoking gun.

Storm surprised by ‘injuries’ By Keith Platt FIVE primary school pupils have had a closer encounter than they bargained of the reality of being a rugby player. The five were injured on Wednesday 9 November during a gala rugby day after coaching by Melbourne Storm players before playing a series of matches. The mother of a 12-year-old Rosebud girl told a Melbourne radio station that the five were taken to hospital, including her daughter with a sprained arm. However, the Storm’s development general manager Greg Brentnall said all injuries were treated on the spot at Rosebud’s Olympic Park Recreation

Reserve. No one had been taken to hospital. He said 280 pupils from eight schools participated. It was the ninth year running the Storm had held its rugby program on the peninsula and the first time any injuries had been so widely reported. Mr Brentnall said all the injured children had been treated by the Storm’s “fully trained medical staff�. “It is a contact sport,� he said. The girl, whose arm had been placed in a sling, was advised to seek further medical treatment if she had ongoing pain. Principal of Our Lady of Fatima Parish Primary School Monica Coyle said

the girl was back at school the following day “and she didn’t appear to be under stress, there were no bandages or anything�. Ms Coyle praised the Storm’s rugby program and said her school would be involved again next year. Meg Dallas, principal of Sorrento Primary School, had heard no reports of injuries during the rugby day and was also enthusiastic about a continuing relationship with the Storm.

Gala days involving many other peninsula schools were also held last week at Mornington, Tyabb and Hastings. The other eight primary schools involved at Rosebud were Eastbourne (Rosebud), Red Hill Consolidated, St Joseph’s (Sorrento), Dromana, and Tootgarook.

Artist hopes for creative enclave after gallery plunge By Mike Hast IT’S a surprise to realise Rye didn’t have an art gallery until Jennifer Ellen took the plunge in September. The prolific painter who works mainly in acrylics hopes her gallery and a couple of other funky shops in the seaside town will be the start of a new wave of creative outlets. Jennifer’s space is at 2375a Point Nepean Rd, above Restyled Threads. From here the 49-year-old mother of two displays bold, bright affordable works inspired by music and the stunning vistas of the peninsula. “I’ve had a great response.” The artist moved to the peninsula with her children when her father, the retired actor Cliff Ellen, and her mother made a sea change 11 years ago. She grew up in the city, immersed herself in theatre at school, and made her acting debut at age 15 in a play called No Worries at La Mama Theatre in Carlton. She played the daughter of her father. Jennifer spent about 20 years living in Greece, returning to Australia now and then. She didn’t pick up a paint brush until seven years ago. Self-taught, Jennifer started
producing works aimed at children, but adults were buying her art. Some of her early motifs were owls and animals. “I work one idea until it’s exhausted then find a new one,” she said. “I love the colours in the water, the rust on Rye pier, the stars in the sky. I even love the madness of the tourist season. It’s all inspiration for my work.” Jennifer had her first solo exhibition in Melbourne three years ago and has shown her work in group shows at the Conti in Sorrento, Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, and Camberwell Rotary Art Show. She paints whenever she has time, mostly during the day. “Art is not just for the rich or adults,” she said. “All people should be able to afford it.” Jennifer Ellen ART gallery is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10am5pm “and on other days when I feel like it”, she said with a laugh. “I need time to paint, too.” As is the modern way, Jennifer has a website and a Facebook page showing examples of her work.

Whale numbers are up Continued from Page 1
“What we’re seeing is probably the result of increasing numbers of whales. It’s good evidence of a population increase. “The annual migration is a huge physiological drain on a whale. It’s a big migration and a very stressful strategy.” A week-old dead common dolphin found near the dead humpback was also evidence “that it’s a risky business being a mammal”, Mr Weir said. In April 2010 a five-tonne, 13.5-metre long juvenile full blue or pygmy blue whale was washed ashore at Flinders. It, too, had been savaged by sharks

and Parks Victoria erected signs warning of sharks continuing to be attracted to the area by the rotting carcass. Jane Burke, who lives near Koonya Beach, said foxes were also likely to be feeding off the dead humpback. Ms Burke hoped the increased number of visitors to the beach would not threaten the survival of recently hatched hooded plover chicks. A pair of the endangered birds had successfully bred on the beach and Ms Burke was anxious that visitors realised dogs were only allowed there before 9am and that they must be kept on a leash.

All fitted out for New York PENINSULA-based Fitted for Work has become an independent affiliate of New York-based Dress for Success. Fitted for Work is a charity providing clothing and other services in Rosebud and Frankston to help women join or rejoin the workforce. Dress for Success is an established worldwide network with more than 110 affiliates in 12 countries, including Australia with services in South Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and on the peninsula. Acting president Kerry Hegarty said joining Dress for Success means the peninsula organisation can expand the range of services it provides to long-term unemployed and disadvantaged women and young women seeking assistance and confidence in finding their first job out of school. “Since we started four years ago, we have assisted nearly 2400 women and schoolgirls in their quest for financial independence,� she said. “These numbers are a testament to the strength of our organisation and the need within the community.� Fitted for Work recently won the inaugural business award in community partnerships jointly presented by Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston Council. It is the fifth business award in five years for the not-forprofit organisation, which has about 100 volunteers. The affiliation will lead to a name change to Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula.

House of hope and happiness FROM the outside, 132 Kars St, Frankston, appears as a regular house. It is quite large and has orderly gardens, but that is not unusual for that location. However, go inside and it soon becomes apparent that this is no ordinary house. A kaleidoscope of colours at one end of the large room immediately grabs attention and then the background sound of low, guttural chanting completes the move from being in
the street to another reality. In typical pragmatic Buddhist style the meditation and prayer room created by the Venerable Lobsang Tendar lies inside a suburban house. It is a place where people come for guidance, inner peace and happiness. The sick come for comfort and blessings. The Medicine Buddha Tantrayana Meditation Centre is also a place of a series of annual events, including retreats and “alternative� celebrations
for the coming new year. On Saturday 26 November an evening of meditation and chanting (not to mention eating and raffles) will raise money to help educate children in Tibet.

Running for harmony: Mornington Peninsula Shire’s mayor, Cr Graham Pittock, far left, with White Ribbon Day runners from Dromana Secondaery College before the Arthurs Seat Challenge.
Taking the White Ribbon challenge ABOUT 20 staff and students from Dromana Secondary College ran in White Ribbon Day T-shirts to promote the “No to family violence� campaign at the Arthurs Seat Challenge on Sunday 6 November. The White Ribbon campaign promotes respect and equality between men and women, and strong messages to promote harmony in the family
home. The mayor, Cr Graham Pittock, who donned running gear to join the group, said research showed promoting respect and equality can reduce rates of family violence. Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor, Cr Graham Pittock said, “it was great to see a group of runners getting behind White Ribbon Day to
promote respectful relationships. He said the campaign was “particularly important with evidence gathered through the Communities That Care program showing family conflict as a risk factor across the Mornington Peninsula�. The White Ribbon runners were sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rosebud, the Stronger Communities

TWO films about “home and housing� will be featured at the Human Rights Film Night at 6.30pm on Thursday 8 December in the Mornington Peninsula Shire council chambers, Queen St, Mornington. There Once was an Island, a documentary by New Zealand filmmaker Briar March, tells the story of the indigenous people of Takuu who have an impossible decision to make about their tiny, low-lying atoll in the South Western Pacific. Water is rising, and as their land starts to disappear, their way of life is under threat, but there are more immediate dangers. As they prepare for a terrifying tidal flood to rip through their community, they must ask the question: do we stay or do we leave our homeland forever? There Once was an Island, presented by the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival, reveals the human face of climate change in the Pacific. “It challenges audiences everywhere to consider their own relationship to the earth and the other people on it,� Evelyn Tadros of HRAFF said. Ageing on the Edge is about older renters in Melbourne and on the peninsula who have found secure housing through the Victorian Housing for the Aged Action Group. It provides an insight into the impact safe and affordable housing has had on the lives and the health of older Australians. The film, produced by the action group with financial support from Mornington Peninsula Shire, was launched at the Ageing on the Edge: Older Australians at risk of homelessness forum in June 2011. Entry is by gold coin donation and places are limited.

Shire claims VEC ‘bias’ By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has accused Victorian Electoral Commissioner Steve Tully of bias at a public meeting on 12 October. The sensational accusation, made in a letter to Mr Tully from the shire’s solicitor, Maddocks, has forced the final findings of the electoral review of the shire to be put on hold. The VEC has responded by issuing an “Addendum Report” and calling for more submissions into the structure of the shire’s ward system. The addendum report also contains letters and emails between Maddocks and Mr Tully about the alleged bias. The final report, which was due to be released last Thursday, 3 November,
will not be issued until Wednesday 11 January. Mark Hayes of Maddocks wrote to Mr Tully on 26 October stating Mr Tully “consistently advocated the merits of multi-member wards and the benefits of a proportional system of voting” at the meeting. Mr Hayes wrote: “It is to be expected that, for the purpose of testing submissions, those representing the Commission would raise the possibility of contrary positions and challenge what is said. “There is, however, a clear difference between doing this and positively advocating a position in a consistent and vehement manner. “That the latter course was adopted
is, in part, evident from exchanges reported in the 18 October edition of the Southern Peninsula News (see extract attached).” The Southern Peninsula News is the sister paper of the Western Port News. The exchange between Mr Tully and Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy was published in the Western Port News on 25 October. Mr Hayes stated: “A number of those present at the hearing concluded that you did not have an open mind on the options outlined in the Commission’s Preliminary Report – that either Option B, Option C or Option D needed to be embraced. “The reasonable apprehension of bias may taint the validity of anything
now decided by the Commission …” The VEC addendum report released last Thursday stated that another round of consultation would occur, specifically on Option B, which is a mix of multi- and single-member wards. This appears to be a compromise between the shire’s strenuously advocated retention of single-member wards and the overwhelming public support for multi-member wards. In a press release issued by the VEC on Thursday, the commission stated it decided to issue the addendum report 12 days before the legal letter from Maddocks. Shire councillors voted to approve the “bias” letter from Maddocks in a closed meeting. It is not known if the
decision was unanimous. It’s now back to the drawing board for the review of the number of councillors in each ward and ward boundaries. The 78 ratepayers who made submissions to the process, the vast majority of whom were in favour of multi-councillor wards, get another chance to explain the existing system of single-member wards leaves much to be desired. No doubt the shire will also vigorously defend its preference for singlecouncillor wards, introduced after the appointment of CEO Michael Kennedy in the late 1990s.
OPINION
What does shire expect from VEC bias claim? By David Harrison WHAT is the shire’s goal in accusing Victorian Electoral Commissioner Steve Tully of bias? To get him sacked? To influence his final report? To pressure the minister to give him a talking-to? Many who were at the public meeting Mr Tully chaired at Rosebud on 12 October to hear submissions, and question submitters, are deeply puzzled by the shire’s reaction to the hearing. Were shire councillors and bureaucrats shocked at his approach? Did they expect him not to do his job professionally and thoroughly, as required by act of parliament? Did they think it was going to be a vicar’s tea party – that he would not be concerned that, for example, six of the 11 wards were not contested at the last council poll in 2008, and be satisfied with smug declarations that this showed how happy residents are with the quality of councillors – even one who had never been a councillor and has still not faced election? And did they suppose Mr Tully would not question shire bureaucrats and councillors on matters raised in the shire’s 3600-word promotion of single-member wards, including spectres raised about “confusion” and “fear” in the electorate if the singlemember ward system was changed?

It hasn’t been a problem at the many multi-member ward councils across the state. If the shire had been so confident its case would prevail, what was the need to send mail-outs – twice – to about 450 carefully targeted community groups asking them to support the status quo? These pleas for support were heading for letterboxes all over the shire while Mr Tully was being assured that “our community prefers single councillor wards”. The submission from the Balnarring Beach Ratepayers’ Association Inc is a beautiful example. In a letter to Noel Buck, the shire’s manager of governance and corporate support, the association wrote: “Further to the letter from Cr Graham Pittock dated 19th July regarding the above review of the MPSC.
“We are currently in the Red Hill Ward with Councillor Frank Martin as our Councillor and we would like the status quo to remain. “I would respectfully request that our above email address be added to your mailing list as our point of contact for expediting communication in the future.” Even with this ratepayer-funded support drive, containing similar powerful arguments for retention of the status quo, the shire was outnumbered some three to one by submitters eager for change – many of who regarded the shire’s intense and desperate ratepayer-funded push to retain 11 councillors, each in their own ward, as disgracefully biased. Some questioned whether the Local Government Act had been breached during the shire campaign, which states (section 95, Conduct princi-
ples) that: “(1) Council staff must in the course of their employment – “(a) act impartially; “(b) act with integrity including avoiding conflicts of interest ...” The chief executive officer is a staff member under section 94 of the Act. Apparently those councillors who agreed to accuse Mr Tully of bias were unaware that he is an independent officer of the Crown, appointed by the Governor-in-Council for 10 years and is charged by law to “to do all things necessary or convenient to be done for or in connection with the performance of its responsibilities and functions”. Perhaps councillors who approved sending a lawyer’s letter to Mr Tully think he can be persuaded to change his mind by such a strategy rather than have a minister lean on him. Perhaps they were not made aware that under Section 10 of the Electoral Act 2002, the VEC is “not subject to the direction or control of the Minister in respect of the performance of its responsibilities and functions and the exercise of its powers”. If the minister can’t lean on Mr Tully, it is doubtful the shire will cause him much concern. Since Mr Tully can’t be sacked, except in extreme circumstances, and no government has yet asked him to change a recommendation in a report,

the question must be asked again: what is the shire’s goal in this very curious, and possibly costly, exercise? It is understood not all councillors supported the shire claim that Mr Tully had shown bias. So who was promoter of this accusation? Was it a councillor? An officer? A submitter, angry at Mr Tully’s gently persistent questioning about the need for “fair and equitable representation” (as required by section 219A of the Local Government Act 1989) throwing the toys out of the pram? Was it backed by a legal opinion? Did the legal opinion – if any – state that the shire had any hope of success in the course of action its lawyers were instructed to take? Fewer than half the 11 councillors attended the 12 October meeting, and not all of those who did attend stayed until the end. This means the majority took advice, presumably from people who were there, to support what looks to be a high-risk, expensive and probably pointless legal process.

Padding off to pet and pony day THOUSANDS of paws, hoofs and human feet pad, trot and stroll to one of the region’s biggest pet and pony expos later this month. The Pet & Pony Expo is from 9am-3.30pm on Sunday 27 November on Village Green, part of the foreshore in the centre of Rosebud. The expo is run by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

After a couple of races they get the idea and are very keen to catch the lure. “Purebred and crossbred Jack Russells and any other small breeds can join in. “Diamonds on the Beach” features miniature

OPINION
Arise, Baron Baldrick Buggins of Bungower Bight THE perpetually websurfing Mrs Emu is almost incandescent with excitement. “Look at this,” she trills – the sound cuts through the brain like an over-amplified cicada song – waving a sheaf of papers at her Beloved (her name for The Emu in affectionate moments). “We could be Lord and Lady Emu, for just a small payment,” she emotes breathily. “Of Drum Drum Alloc or Merriwendiwokewoke.” Now known as Manton Creek. She sighs. So does The Emu. She has gone all girlish – a very bad sign. What’s she up to now? Bad enough when she found a plastic Spirit of Ecstasy in an op shop and insisted he glue it to the bonnet of the HQ. But a title? “This website, my sister told me about,” she explains ungrammatically, calming a little and handing over the printouts. “Look! ‘A title for a lifetime. Instant credibility
and prestige. Being upgraded at the restaurant. Being offered upgrades on airlines’.” She falls unnaturally silent. The Emu reads on. “That’s right, you too can be ‘Lord’, ‘Lady’ or another such title from the variety we have available – and what’s more it’s professional, legal and affordable for you,” burbles the brochure. The Emu’s heart is sinking rapidly now: “We will provide you with a legal and professional title you can immediately add to all your personal documentation such as passport, driving licence, payment cards, the list is endless. “The title is yours for life; you
will be able to enjoy and extend the many benefits to your family and friends who will benefit just by association with you.” Mrs Emu is reading this claptrap over The Emu’s shoulder. Her breathing is elevated. “I wonder why my sister hasn’t already acted on this, the jumped-up hussy!” The Emu winces: he likes his unpretentious sister-in-law. “We have to get in first,” she declares. “Once this gets around, every peninsula parvenu will be buying a baronetcy or a knighthood. You won’t be able to move for duchesses and earls with flags on their fancy four-wheel drives.” The Emu is not so sure. He does know of people who like collecting acronyms to decorate their names, but would anyone really want to call themselves Baron Baldrick Buggins of Bungower Bight? Well, it’s only 195 devalued British quid, so a bargain for the poseurs and
parasites who do weird things for a profile. Nearly a thousand quid if you want a title you can hand down to the rug rats. And all you need is some “Real Property” – a 20-centimetre square plot of Old Blighty is offered, on which to build your ancestral pile. “Own a Piece of England and Obtain Celebrity Status,” it promises. But – here’s a sentence that catches The Emu’s eye. “You don’t have to live in the UK or be a British citizen,” the brochure says, adding: title sales “have soared because people have paid for an exclusive title as a gift for someone close”. Hmmm, thinks The Emu, that sounds like a larrikin-ocker opportunity. Who does he know who would kill to be a Baron, a Viscount, a Marquis, a Duke a Sir or just a plain simple Count? He knows just the person. Roll on April the first!
Farmers market flows across the water PENINSULA market-goers can take a little adventure across the waters of Port Phillip to Queenscliff for the first farmers market on Sunday. Sharon Henwood of Queenscliff Harbour, which is running the market, said they would be on the third Sunday each month 9am-1pm in the eastern end of the Queenscliff Harbour car park. “The new ferry leaves Sorrento on even hours (8am, 10am, etc) so what better way to spend a Sunday than checking out the new ferry followed by a visit to the market and perhaps lunch at one of our restaurants?” she
asked. Highlights would include buskers and cooking demonstrations using fresh produce from the market. Goods sold at stalls will include herbals teas, lavender oils and soaps, organic bread, vegetarian tarts, free range eggs, jams, honey and preserves, French-style cheese and organic milk, hydroponic tomatoes and lettuces, olive oil, fruit preserves, native flowers from she oak trees, Otway Ranges beef and lamb, pasta and sauces, Details: Sharon Henwood, phone 5258 5459 www.queenscliffharbour.com.au

Admiring look: Rotarian Frank Fisher studies art show entries at last year’s exhibition in Mornington.
‘News’ partners Rotary for 40th art show 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

COMEDY writer and self-confessed birdwatching nut Sean Dooley is the guest speaker at Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association’s end of year celebrations and annual meeting on Monday 5 December at Hickinbotham of Dromana. Mr Dooley of Melbourne has worked as a television comedy writer and has been a contributor to The Age, ABC radio and 3RRR, writing and talking about birds and environmental issues. His greatest claim to twitching fame is that in 2002 he broke the Australian birdwatching record for seeing the most species in the one year. He wrote about the year in The Big Twitch, publicly outing himself as a bird nerd. He is the editor of Birds Australia’s journal Wingspan. A barbecue starts at 5.30pm (BYO food), Mr Dooley talks at 7.30 and the annual meeting starts at 8.30. The gathering is open to members and others. Hickinbotham is at 194 Nepean Hwy (near Wallaces Rd), Dromana (Melway 160 K2). Details: www.spiffa.org.
Cash for kites ROSEBUD’S Colour the Sky Kite Festival has received $2500 from the state government under the latest round of the Country Victoria Events Program. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the festival was an “excellent tourism event for the Mornington Peninsula and the funding is provided to assist with event marketing”. “The kite festival showcases all aspects of kite flying and instructs the local community to be able to participate in this interesting and fun entertainment,” he said. The festival is next March on the Rosebud foreshore.

VCAL Cuts Hurt Mornington Peninsula Students The State Government doesn’t care about VCAL students on the Mornington Peninsula. That’s why they’re cutting $48 million funding for VCAL Coordinators in secondary schools. Students at Mornington, Mount Eliza, Dromana, Rosebud, Somerville and Westernport Secondary Colleges will be seriously affected by this decision. Nearly 90% of VCAL students go on to participate in further education, training or work. VCAL coordinators are essential - they link students with future training and job opportunites.

Green again: Relaunching the National Green Jobs Corps at Somers yesterday are volunteers and organisers. Second from right is Greg Hunt with Pam Bannister, of Somers foreshore committee (in yellow top), and natural vegetation adviser Rowan Cuming, of Peninsula Bushworks, left.
Corps workers march home THE return of the National Green Jobs Corps has been hailed as a victory for common sense by Clean Ocean Foundation CEO James Clark-Kennedy. The successful youth training program has been funded for a further six months. It was cut in April after running for just a year. That decision by Queensland-based Max Employment stranded 15 young volunteers who were working toward
conservation and land management certification on five Mornington Peninsula environmental projects. The program was relaunched yesterday at Somers foreshore, one of the project sites. Mr Clark-Kennedy said Flinders MP Greg Hunt had “championed the revival� of the foundation-inspired jobs corp. Programs interrupted by the April
shutdown included 800 hours of revegetation at Somers foreshore that already had a timetable distributed to students, ongoing revegetation at Capel Sound foreshore, revegetation at nearby Chinamans Creek with Norm McKinlay’s ‘Friends’ group, boardwalk construction at Waterfall Gully at the back of Rosebud, and ongoing work in Rosebud South and in Latrobe Pde, Dromana.

Happiness not just by chant By Terri Rew THERE is no doubt about it, with the hectic pace of our modern lifestyle it appears that a number of people are caught up in the daily grind of surviving the week out only to collapse in a heap on the weekend. This is not quality of living. However, there is hope at hand. In February 2010 the Medicine Buddha Tantrayana Meditation Centre opened at 132 Kars St, Frankston South. Now don’t get caught up in the long name of the place and think it’s some hippy joint; rather it is truly a tranquil haven to unwind, relax and learn how to live a quality life again. The centre is run by spiritual director The Venerable Lobsang Tendar, (pictured right), along with two ordained nuns, Ani Sonam, (Annelis) and Ani Chodron, (Dorothy). Together, the three are educating people to live a quality and refreshing life again. Lama Tendar was born in the Kham district of eastern Tibet and became a monk at the age of 12 at Dego Samdrupling Monastery in the Mahayana tradition. His intensive studies including seven years at Gyuto Ramoche Monastery and 14 years at the highly respected Gyuto Tantric University in India taught him the ancient art of Tibetan tantric chanting, prayer and meditation. At the Gyuto Tantric University in India, Lama Tendar achieved first division in specialisation on all subjects pertaining to tantra discipline, the
highest degree offered by the university. What this means in lay terms is Lama Tendar is a highly educated healer, and does in fact make a marked difference in people’s lives. The centre runs weekly meditation classes, Tibetan yoga classes and Dharma classes, (learning the inherent wisdom contained within the philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism). Dharma practice complements meditation and helps to understand the nature of reality. While the yoga classes improve both physical and mental health, the meditation classes help clear your mind of
WhiteCliffs
everyday stress to create a clear and calm mind. It helps you experience more positivity and joyfulness in your everyday life, whilst learning skills to becoming more peaceful in a stressful world. Lama Tendar also teaches traditional Tibetan Buddhist mandala classes from the Gyuto tradition. Participants bring crayons or paints and are taught how to paint an incredibly beautiful, healing mandala. Usually the monks create these amazing works of art with coloured sand that can take many weeks to complete. During a closing ceremony, the sand mandala is wiped away, thus
demonstrating life’s impermanence. Within the Tibetan Buddhist culture there is a big emphasis on karma, which is not unlike retribution in Christian philosophy. Healings, blessings and Buddhist counselling is a common day practise, therefore Lama Tendar preforms, wedding and funeral blessings along with many other blessings for particular needs of individuals. Many devout Christians attending meditation classes who have experienced blessings find it not unlike church blessings. Different languages, different hand movements but plenty of incense all round. This is why Lama Tendar is part of
the Trika Interfaith association along with Father John Dupuche (a Catholic priest) and Swami Samnyasanand (a yogi from the Satyananda tradition). It is an organisation that raises peoples’ awareness of different faiths, encouraging dialogue between the different faiths and the common thread of godliness throughout them all. Only recently, a group of senior citizens from a local church had a tour of the centre and found out first-hand what Tibetan Buddhism was about. Lama Tendar is a proactive individual and here in Australia has set up the Tibetan Children’s Fund, raising money through classes and workshops to be used for children’s health and education in Tibet. For more information about this, visit www.tibetanchildrensfund.org.au. Medicine Buddha Tantrayana Meditation Centre is for anyone wanting to improve their quality of life. It is not a religious doctrine; rather it’s a way of living that many have left behind in their self-absorbed busy lifestyles. It teaches you integrity of being, heartfelt gratitude to the religious pathway you has chosen. Most importantly it teaches you how to connect with yourself again and to find inner peace and contentment. To me, that’s something worth having. Call the centre on 8774 1628 and Lama Tendar on 0402 658 336. Please note, the centre has many exciting events throughout the year that are enjoyable and fun-filled, particularly their New Year’s Eve celebrations.

‘Wow factor’ art to set your home apart ANYONE selling their home will know that to stand out from the crowd something special is required. Some agencies even offer home cleaning services to get a home spruced up before it goes on the market. Rosebud real estate agent Terry Hobson has something different to offer with a collection of oil paintings designed to give any home the “wow factor”. Mr Hobson photographs various flowers and water features and, through his association with several artists interstate, has them transformed into stunning art pieces. “All our pieces are oil paintings on canvas and would fit perfectly in hallways or entrances of a home. To have something really colourful to attract the eye when a prospective purchaser walks in and giving them something to remember about your property could make all the difference,” Mr Hobson said.

Senses come alive with stunning architect design PERCHED high among the treetops on the sun-drenched northern slopes of Arthurs Seat, this unique and exhilarating architect-designed home delivers arguably the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most breathtaking uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay to The Heads, You Yangs and city skyline. Supported by a simple steel frame and created over two levels, the home appears to float among the trees as it projects towards the water, while vast glass sliding doors retract to connect the main living and dining zone with an ironbark deck surrounded by a frameless glass balustrade. The home features high-grade polished concrete floors, a striking black laminate and stainless-steel kitchen with Miele appliances including an integrated coffee machine, and vast walls of glass to perfectly frame the view at every turn. Bright orange perspex sliding doors provide an unexpected hit of colour, while a cantilevered Corian vanity, rainhead shower and spa bath add to the high-quality finishing touches in the main bathroom. The tranquil master bedroom opens to a private treetop deck while a second bedroom, with built-in robes, provides additional guest accommodation. Set on a sloping 1112-square metre (approx) allotment, other features include a separate studio currently used as a self-contained B&B, reverse-cycle airconditioning, cellar and double car space.

Position counts for some IF position is important, then this otherwise unstartling home does have something to offer. Located close to Rosebud shops and beach, the property needs a lot of work but is sensibly priced so a developer may be interested in the central location and turning the 338-square metre site into townhouses (STCA). The property is quite liveable and is currently returning $210 a week in rent. The interior has a basic kitchen-dining area and there is a nice lounge with gas heating and hardwood floors as well as a combined laundry and bathroom. At the rear of the block is a bungalow and single garage.

One for the handyman
Refreshingly different
A rare opportunity to snap up a bargain. Needs a touch of TLC but will respond well. Sited on a lovely big corner block with magic mature shade trees it really does look the part. A traditional 3 bedroom floor plan with a carport, couple of sheds and loaded to the hill with potential. Sure to please at this price. Holiday, permanent living or investment.
Not just another same old, same old beach house. This quirky little creation just cries out fun, fun, fun! A labour of love, the result is a home that is innovative in design and construction yet retains a warm and relaxed feel. Being only 6 or so years old it is in spot-on condition and ready to give many years of trouble free pleasure. The home itself is not large but has huge potential for relatively easy extensions in the future. The floor plan both inside and out is devoted to open plan living with the blending of the internal lounge area with expansive external elevated decking via full width bi-fold doors, the result is pure bliss. Nestled amongst the Moonah Trees with abundant local birdlife the tranquility is totally therapeutic. Surrounded by fun things to do including Gunamatta Surf Beach (800m) Gunamatta Trail Rides (400m) and the best the Mornington Peninsula has to offer is all close by. A property you “MUST SEE” to fully appreciate.

Beachside on a budget
This is a rare and exciting find for investors, holiday home buyers or permanent home buyers. Renovated in the last couple of years it is spacious and very well appointed for the affordable price range. Spread over 2 levels we have 3 excellent sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, a delightful hostess kitchen and even an elevated alfresco deck. The home offers a warm and inviting feel that will add to its aesthetic charm. Being only a stones throw from the beach and shops it is definitely a home that calls for instant action. Currently let to a very reliable tenant but can be purchased with vacant possession if required. Just listed and sure to please. We love it, you will to.
Everyone wants a beach house for the family to enjoy. With property prices escalating on the Peninsula it is rare to find a property you can move into and upgrade as you go at such a realistic price. The home offers two nice big bedrooms, a lovely big lounge, country kitchen with adjacent meals area and bathroom facilities. There’s also a full width rear covered verandah, an older bungalow, garage, shed and carport. The block is level and within walking distance to the beach. Properties in this area are highly sought by investors, first home buyers and holiday home purchasers. With land value in the immediate area north of $300,000 it’s easy to see why this little beauty won’t be around for long.

Captiviating vistas to the bay
Love at first sight
Perched high and proud with views to match this outstanding double storey weatherboard home is a delight to inspect. On a block close to 1/3 acre this as new (11y.o) home is in pristine condition. Ground level has 2 bedrooms. Nice big family room, bathroom and laundry. Upstairs has master bedroom suite with full ensuite, study, wonderful open plan hostess kitchen and huge expanse of living opening onto lovely big deck. From here the views are divine. A superb home priced to sell.
This truly is a charming home, not grand in stature but certainly grand in character. It is a 1970’s built architecturally designed home that was considered “trendy” in its infancy. It has been beautifully maintained and tastefully extended over the years. Today it offers 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas, light filled kitchen and much more. There is a double garage, beautiful gardens and it’s in a magic area only 450 mts to the beach.

AROUND THE PENINSULA
Four artists offer their analogies at Oak Hill ANALOGY is the title of Mornington’s Oak Hill Gallery’s latest exhibition by four artists, which 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 the 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 – adjacent to the Mornington Regional Art Gallery and Mornington Rose Garden – is at 100 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. Details: 5973 4299.

lia) 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. The cost is being split evenly between the shire,

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.

AROUND THE PENINSULA
By Mike Hast TENDERS for the restoration of historic Norman Lodge in Mt Eliza (above) close next week. 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, who also owns the Village Glen retirement complex in Rosebud West Lovell Chen is well regarded for its heritage work including the Royal Exhibition Building and Ballarat Town Hall restorations. 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
Five vie for historic mansion contract Jacobsen to build two modern homes for his 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. 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 this month.” 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 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.” 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 walkway 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.”

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’

Hot strip mill rolls to a halt BLUESCOPE Steel’s Western Port hot strip mill rolled its final coil on Wednesday 19 October, 33 years after it began production in March 1978. Metal Coating Line 5 ceased production on Saturday 22 October and will be mothballed. BlueScope said there were no plans to restart the line on a permanent basis at this time. The Western Port plant retains its cold rolling, metallic coating and painting operations. BlueScope has cut 1000 jobs as it shuts down production facilities at Western Port and Port Kembla, effectively moving out of the export business. The 200 jobs lost at Western Port and 800 at Port Kembla, announced on 22 August, are part of a restructure aimed at returning the company to profitability. BlueScope reported to the Australian Securities Exchange a $480 million loss on its export business. Along with a writedown on assets, this amounted to a $1 billion loss. Decommissioning activities on both the hot strip mill and metal coating line 5 expect to be completed early in the new year, the company said last week. In line with the changes, some areas of the plant are now operating Monday to Friday, reflective of customer demand. Western Port manager Bob Pullein said BlueScope remained committed to the Hastings community and its Australian domestic customers. He thanked employees, local business leaders and the broader
All pumped up ROSEBUD CFA has reached its target of $350,000 and is set to order a new “pumper” with delivery by next winter. The brigade on Boneo Rd, next to the police station, has 23 volunteer members who are gearing up to protect the community during the coming fire season. Apart from completing training, the volunteers worked closely with the community to raise the money. Along the way they received support from Hillview Quarries, Southern Peninsula Community Fund, Angel Op Shop, All Saints Op Shop, Rotary Club of Rosebud, Rosebud Police Charity Golf Day, Bunnings Rosebud, other businesses and community groups and southern peninsula residents. Customers of the Rye and Dromana community branches of Bendigo Bank contributed, including the “Ban the Bulb” program, by fitting energy-efficient light globes. Gary Sanford of Rye and Dromana Community Bank branches presented $33,000 raised by customers to the fireys last month. Barry Irving

community “for the support they have shown us over the past three months as we have worked to implement these changes which are focused on the long-term viability of our business”. BlueScope Steel’s vessel the Iron Monarch completed her last voyage of slab cargo to Western Port in line with the closure of the hot strip mill. The cargo arrived on 4 October and Iron Monarch departed for her return journey to Port Kembla on 6 October. BlueScope has chartered a conventional ship to deliver hot rolled coil to Western Port as feedstock
for the plant’s cold rolling, metallic coating and painting operations. No decisions regarding the future of Iron Monarch had been made, the company said. BlueScope has been under pressure because of the strong Australian dollar, rising iron ore and coking coal prices, a weakening domestic market, lower shipping prices for foreign competitors and lower cost Chinese steel. The company’s share price was $12 before the financial crisis. Yesterday shares were trading at 74.5 cents. Steel workers rallied outside the offices of Flinders federal MP Greg
Hunt on 12 October protesting about the Liberals’ refusal to back the Steel Transformation Plan. AWU Victorian secretary Cesar Melhem said the Opposition’s failure to support the remaining 800 workers at Western Port was “outrageous”. The $300 million Steel Transformation Plan is part of the carbon tax package, which the unions say will encourage investment, innovation and competitiveness in the Australian steel manufacturing industry. The protest was jointly organised by the AWU and the AMWU. Mr Hunt was in Canberra at the time of the rally.

NATURE
Garden skinks are our ‘backyard buddies’ TRIBES of sleek-bodied mini-hunters are soaking up the sun’s rays and stalking pests in Mornington Peninsula gardens this spring. Garden skinks are commonly seen ‘backyard buddies’: they are one of nature’s pest controllers helping to keep gardens healthy by controlling insects. You can join Backyard Buddies, a free program run by Australia’s Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife. Each month you receive a Backyard Buddies email (B-mail) with tips to make your backyard inviting and safe for native animals. Skinks feature in the November B-mail. Sign up for B-mail and download a free fact sheet about skinks at www.backyardbuddies. net.au. “Rejoice if you spot sun-loving skinks in your backyard,” said Steve Corbett, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife. “They eat up all the cockroaches, moths, crickets, and insect larvae they can find.” “Almost every Mornington Peninsula garden is home to skinks, but due to their timid nature and quick reflexes, you may only ever see them dashing for cover as you approach. To really get a good look at a skink, find a comfortable spot where you usually see them ducking for cover, sit quietly and they may eventually emerge. They’re quite curious about us, too. “Skinks are lovely creatures with clear dark eyes, ever watchful of danger. Their bodies are covered in smooth shining scales like armour, often shimmering bronze or dark grey,
to gently catch it and return it to the garden. “You may think that the humble skink is fairly ordinary, but they get up to a lot of strange and very interesting behaviour,” Mr Corbett said. “At least one species of Australian skink – the black rock skinks of the Blue Mountains – lives in nuclear and single-parent families just like humans. One or both skink parents stay with their young and live together as a family unit, helping each other out.”

and their tiny mouths occasionally hide a brightly coloured tongue.” Tips to encourage skinks in your backyard: Let plenty of leaf mulch accumulate on garden beds – this provides an ideal location for skinks to feed. Restore a skink nest if you disturb
it while digging up the garden. Skink eggs look like tiny chicken eggs but they are soft and rubbery. Lean a small stick in any water bowl or ornamental pond so that any skinks can escape if they fall in. Keep your pets indoors as a single cat can be responsible for thousands of
skink deaths each year. Avoid using pesticides as a skink can be poisoned if it eats a contaminated insect. Include rocks and logs in your garden: skinks use them for sunbathing and shelter. If you find a skink in your house, try
“Skinks also have a cunning survival tactic to foil predators. When pursued by an attacker like a bird or a cat, a skink has pre-weakened points in its tail vertebrae which can easily be severed when grabbed or when the skink is terrified. “The freshly broken tail wriggles and twists wildly, distracting the predator while the lucky skink slips away to freedom,” Mr Corbett said. “A skink can regrow its tail in a few months, but it costs it a lot of energy. Sometimes, if the tail is damaged but doesn’t come off, a new tail can grow from the injury – resulting in a fork tailed skink. And this can happen multiple times. Some skinks have been found with five tails. “With nearly 400 species in the skink family, Scincidae, living all over Australia you’re sure to spot some amazing skinks this spring. Take some time to enjoy them as they go about their business keeping your garden cockroach free.” Details: (02) 9221 1949 to speak to Steve Corbett, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife.

40 years up for bay protectors By Mike Hast WESTERNPORT and Peninsula Protection Council celebrated its 40th anniversary at a combined birthday and seminar late last month at Somers Yacht Club. One of the oldest environmental associations on the peninsula, it was formed to fight industrial expansion of Western Port in the 1960s and 1970s. Its genesis came at a meeting on 30 December 1970 when more than 600 people rallied at Balnarring racetrack to protest plans by Ampol-Sleigh for a petroleum refinery at Bittern. Development of Western Port had already started. The council’s first meeting was on 4 January 1971. Its aims were and remain to engage in, support and promote: regional and local planning; conservation of natural resources, including fauna and flora; studies of the effects of pollution of all kinds; and protection of the environment. Plans for Western Port more than 40 years ago included a nuclear reactor on French Island, proposed by the Victorian government’s State Electricity Commission, and heavy industry stretching from Hastings to Stony Point. Liberal government Premier Henry Bolte wanted to make Western Port the “Ruhr of Victoria”, named after the heavily

industrialised valley in Germany, and the plans sparked a bitter battle between pro-development forces and conservationists. The “Battle for Western Port” grabbed the national media spotlight on and off for several years. It led to the ground-breaking Shapiro Report, published in 1975 after two years of research by teams of scientists. The report has informed planning decisions in the region since. Late last month, Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt called for the creation of a “Shapiro Report Mark II” as the state government upped the ante to fasttrack expansion of the Port of
Hastings to replace Melbourne as the state’s prime container port. In the 1960s, BP built a refinery at Crib Point, which is now abandoned; John Lysaght Pty Ltd built a steel mill near Hastings, now owned by BlueScope Steel; and Esso built a gas refractionation plant near the steel mill, which still operates. Today, unleaded petrol is transported to a storage and distribution centre in Hastings from Crib Point jetty along a 78-kilometre pipeline connecting Crib Point to Long Island and Melbourne, which was established in 1970. A 180km pipeline takes crude oil and gas from Bass Strait at Longford to
the Esso installations at Hastings built in 1968. Pipelines also connect to two refineries in Melbourne and Geelong. Each year about four million tonnes of petroleum product is handled through the stateowned jetties at Crib Point and Long Island Point. Former WPPC president Brian Cuming said that in 1987, the protection council was the leading group in the successful campaign against Western Mining Corporation’s ammonia and urea plant proposal on the BP site using the Crib Point jetty. “In 1992 we fought a ShellMobil proposal for a major oil import facility at the former BP site,” he said. “Again an angry public put evidence on the table including the Shapiro Report. The plan was shelved indefinitely.” Dr Cuming, now in his 80s, said the protection council and other environmentalists faced a new threat to the important wildlife and tourism qualities of the bay with the state government’s proposal to expand the Port of Hastings. “Western Port is not and has never been the place for industry. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands, and has outstanding marine and coastal environmental values. “More than 350 native plant and 330 native animal species
WE WE WE WE WE WE WE
including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish and birds live here.” He said even a minor oil spill would have devastation effects because of tidal movement and shallow areas of the bay. At Somers, the protection council also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, signed by many governments including Australia in 1971 at the small town of Ramsar in Iran on the coast of the Caspian Sea. Parts of Western Port and Port Phillip became Ramsar sites in 1982. The convention, or treaty, provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Western Port is one of the three most important areas for migratory waders in Victoria. Surveys show it supports about 10,000 waders, about 12 per cent of the state population. The Department of Sustainability and Environment says Western Port is of national zoological significance as a foraging area and high tide roosting site for migratory waders. “It is of national botanical significance for its extensive saltmarsh communities and also has a number of sites of national and international geo-
morphological significance.” WPPC president Karri Giles said information presented at the seminar showed how an increase in shipping would increase the risk of oil spills. “This was especially poignant looking at Western Port out of the Somers Yacht Club windows,” she said. “The need for an economic study was outlined, as a few stevedore jobs doesn’t make up for the threat of job losses in the businesses based on having a healthy and beautiful environment. “The basis of our economy down here is providing recreation for Melburnians. Our economic well-being is safer if we phase out shipping in Western Port and try and protect the bay from other threats.” Ms Giles said a CSIRO report found that if Port Phillip eutrophied (goes belly-up or anoxic), the economy of Melbourne would fail and the state government would fall. “Western Port is very important to Melbourne’s economy. Watching people sail around happily in crystal-clear water, among playful dolphins, also shows how valuable a clean Western Port is for the health and mental health of families and the health budget.” Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council’s website is www.wppcinc.org

A master of my craft By Stuart McCullough IT’S often said that you can’t be good at everything. Frankly, I don’t see why not. As immature as it may sound, I have always longed to be a jack of all trades and a master of every single one. It’s fallen out of fashion. Once, a person would indulge themselves in pursuits that were many as they were varied. In the event that you were able to achieve a reasonable level of proficiency in these various fields of endeavour, you might receive the ultimate badge of honour of being labelled a “Renaissance Man”. I’ve never really understood the term Renaissance Man. It’s supposed to suggest enlightenment, but given that it takes its name from a cultural movement that began in the 14 th century, it’s a term that’s long overdue for a good restumping. And if the term Renaissance Man hasn’t lost its currency, then it has surely been downgraded by Standard and Poors with both default and junk status looming in the not so distant future. But despite of the term’s limited relevance, I must face the fact that I can never be considered a Renaissance Man. At best, if I make a real effort, I might be described as midrange Jacobean Man with a
Tudor overlay. Like a decathlete who can run like a bullet but wouldn’t know his way around a shot put if it came with instructions, I have an Achilles’ heel the size of the Statue of Liberty’s left foot. Indeed, if I was a band, I would be The Red Hot Achilles Peppers, so pronounced is my condition. For while there are many
fields in which I can not only hold my own but also that of the person standing next to me, there is one area of human endeavour in which I am a Grade A, certified dunce. That area is “craft”. According to the internet, the term craft is often used to describe “a group of artistic practices within the family of decorative arts that
traditionally are defined by their relationship to functional or utilitarian products or by their use of such natural media as wood, clay, glass, textiles and metal”. But of course I can’t help but notice that icy pole sticks and pipe cleaners are missing from the list. Despite that obvious oversight, I will say that my own definition is simpler. For me, craft is something that is practised by clog-wearing, muesli-munching hippies that, for all intents and purposes, is about half a notch below witchcraft, so mysterious is it to me. I grew up in the 1970s. This means that I, and everyone else in my unfortunate generation, had to suffer through the kind of adversity that would see off a weaker bunch of people. During the Renaissance, children had to contend with the likes of the bubonic plague. We, on the other hand, had to deal with flared trousers. It gets worse. We also had to endure music’s darkest era during which songs like Racey’s Lay Your Love on Me and Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band were allowed to roam freely across the earth rather than being hunted down like the vermin they were. Scoff all you like, but today’s youngsters would probably
reel at the news that in the late 1970s there was a real push to have Afternoon Delight replace God Save the Queen as our national anthem. Had the public failed to get behind Advance Australia Fair, there’s a good chance that we’d be singing Afternoon Delight every time one of our athletes managed to secure a medal. Aside from flared trousers and hideous music, we also had to endure the ultimate indignity that is craft. Pom poms, knitting nancys, the strange string-withnail-on-a-plaque thing that every house seemed to have hanging from the wall – these were the various disciplines in which we were schooled on rainy afternoons. Craft, put simply, is what people did before the internet. Without fail, afternoons spent doing craft were souldestroying experiences. This is partly attributable to the fact that I was absolutely useless. Suffice to say, I wasn’t even good enough to be considered mediocre. My rudimentary attempts to make things out of clay, wood and material were disasters on a Hindenburg scale. Often was the time that my best efforts were greeted with cries of “Oh, the inhumanity!”. My shortcomings were all the more pronounced as a
result of having a brother who was excellent at craft. When we both made pom-poms, my efforts looked like something that had just been assaulted in an alley. My brother’s pompom was everything that a pom-pom ought to be. It was bright, it was springy and it was still intact a half hour after it had been made, unlike my own efforts. If we were each given a bunch of icy pole sticks, I would create something that looked like driftwood, while my brother would make a perfect replica of the Eiffel Tower to scale. It made me feel intensely inadequate. At that moment, I swore off craft forever. However, things have a habit of coming, if not full circle then at least majority trapezoid and I now watch my nieces and nephews as they embark on various craft projects. I watch quietly, politely declining offers to participate for fear that my chronic craftaphobia will be laid bare for all to see. So please; cut, paste and sew to your heart’s content. Just don’t ask me to join in. For, just like a poorly constructed icy pole stick sculpture, I just might come unglued. www.stuartmccullough.com
Handel by the sea By Marilyn Cunnington MORNINGTON Peninsula music lovers don’t need to travel to the city this year for Handel’s Messiah as it is being brought to St Mary’s Star of the Sea Church in Sorrento by the Anglican and Roman Catholic parishes of Sorrento and Rye. The full majesty of Handel’s oratorio will be revealed on Saturday 10 December at 5pm by the Gloriana Chamber Choir, the Choir of St Peter’s Eastern Hill and the St Peter’s Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Andrew Raiskums, with distinguished soprano Merlyn Quaife, Victorian Opera’s Roxane Hislop (mezzo), Jacob Lawrence (tenor) and Nicholas Dinopoulos (baritone). Since the oratorio premiered in Dublin in 1742, it has had a constant and devoted following. The practice of standing during the famous Hallelujah Chorus probably started at the London premiere, at which King George II supposedly stood. Conductor Andrew Raiskums encourages the tradition, be it authentic or not. “Why not stand for such a rousing chorus? It’s hard enough for the audience not to join in with the singing!” Merlyn Quaife has sung in many Messiahs throughout her varied career. “It is a work you can always come back to and find fresh ways to interpret,” she said. Sorrento is privileged to have such a performer heading the ensemble. Her recent triumph in Opera Australia’s Bliss at the Edinburgh Festival and at the Sydney Opera House and our own State Theatre had reviewers acclaiming her work. Be the repertoire baroque, classical or contemporary, Merlyn has the reputation of a supreme performer and interpreter. Joining her as soloist is a baritone of great promise at the beginning of his career, Nicholas Dinopoulos. Having studied at the University of Melbourne with Merlyn, he approaches his performances with the same integrity and enthusiasm. “Besides my appearances with The Opera Studio
Melbourne throughout the year, I look forward to invitations to sing in the Messiah. It suits my voice and I particularly love The Trumpet Shall Sound to pitch myself against a powerful baroque trumpet.” Tristram Williams will be providing the power behind the trumpet. He joined the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra as its youngest member and has, since going solo, carved an impressive international career, finding time to be lecturer in trumpet at the University of Melbourne. Roxane Hislop, mezzo, and Jacob Lawrence, tenor, complete the soloists for this performance and the St Peter’s Chamber Orchestra has at its core the virtuoso harpsichordist Elizabeth Anderson. With such a line-up of solo talent along with the professional instrumentalists and 40 voice choir, the peninsula will be resounding to Handel’s glorious music. There will be an hour’s dinner break in the middle of the performance, bringing echoes of England’s elegant Glyndebourne Festival to seaside Sorrento. The audience will be able to enjoy a BYO picnic in St Mary’s grounds or adjourn to a hotel or cafes just a block away. Take advantage of the early bird savings with silver section $30 and gold section $40. Phone 5989 8620 for credit card bookings (MasterCard or Visa) or cash sales at Jack’n’Andy’s Op Shop, Melbourne Rd, Sorrento, or the Anglican Parish office, Lyons St, Rye. The organisers appreciate the support of the Rye and Dromana branches of Bendigo Bank.

Performance THERE have been some exciting music projects over the years where a bunch of talented musicians get together and record. Australian bands like Fourth House (Wild World 1971), Pastoral Symphony (Love Machine 1968) and The Road Cases, an instrumental music project led by Rod McCormack and Stuie French, spring to mind. Boney M creator and producer Frank Farian called together a bunch of talented musicians including Toto singer Bobby Kimball, Survivor lead vocalist Robin McAuley, drummer Simon Phillips (The Who, Tears for Fears), Toto keyboard player David Paich and Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, and produced Far Corporation’s top 10 hit with the Led Zeppelin classic, Stairway to Heaven. You can seet it at: www.youtube. com/watch?v=IzDEmkfb6VI They were the first group to have a top 10 hit with a Led Zep composition. Blue Mountains-based blues “project” band The Woodpickers is a recording initiative of musician and songwriter John Murphy. Murphy plays bass, guitar, mandolin and writes and produces for The Woodpickers. He was also a founding member of the Foreday Riders, a well-
respected blues band that has been on the scene for nearly 40 years. The Woodpickers is an all-acoustic country-folk project conceived by Murphy to present his songs. Featuring some of the best-known vocalists in Australian country music, The Woodpickers include Broderick Smith (Carson, Dingoes, Big Combo), Doug Rowe (Flying Circus) multiple Golden Guitarist Allan Caswell, Doug Bligh (Windchase), Clare O’Mara (violin and accordion), John Stuart (dobro and slide guitar) and John Murphy (bass, guitar and mandolin). Murphy wrote all 12 tracks on the album. The Woodpickers has released a new
album, Down the Line (Australian Roots Music), with track one featuring the vocals of all three singers, Broderick Smith, Allan Caswell and Doug Rowe, and destined to be a country hit. Down the Line will turn a few heads and certainly test the music judgement at many country music awards including Tamworth. Allan Caswell, the new ambassador for the Winnebago RV Club (pictured), is a six-time Golden Guitar winner and best known for writing the theme for the TV series Prisoner. Caswell has published more than 900 songs and had more than 500 songs recorded worldwide by such artists as Cilla Black, Irish Rovers, Patti Page, Slim Dusty and The Living End. He has worked with Garth Brooks, Don McLean, Tommy Emmanuel, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Herman’s Hermits, Little River Band, and Pam Ayers. Project creator Murphy has performed in many urban cowboy bands. John’s music is heavily informed by the influence of Woody Guthrie and the blues folk boom of the early 1960s. Down the Line is a testament to folk and blues’ most-celebrated Australian players at the pinnacle of their game exhibiting some of the best violin,
picking and heartfelt harmonies I have heard in Australia for some time.

The limited collector’s edition Bluray Disc combo pack traces the life of Harrison with photos and footage not seen before. The film features interviews with his closest friends, home movies and rare archival materials. Produced by his widow, Olivia Harrison, the film features commentary by
humming a favourite song of mine (After You’ve Gone), which also applies throughout summer. *** WHY are all those people getting stuck into the owners of poker machines? Take my mate James, as in Packer. A nicer bloke you wouldn’t meet. If Jimmy says he does more than his share to address problem gambling, then I believe him. Jimmy invests millions for our pleasure.

Sure, they make on average $150,000 profit a year on each of their 2500 machines, but our entertainment costs money. The atmosphere, lighting, staff, the chicken and chips, and the pleasure; it all costs. No one forces us, and Jimmy and his mates are there to welcome us 24 hours a day so that we all have a bonzer time; smoking allowed. Empty pockets and empty heads but lots of fun. If our government is serious about gambling restrictions, does that include Jimmy? Never. *** TELSTRA, Vodafone and Optus, again in our interests, bent over back-

It’s when you say anything you want to say provided it doesn’t upset the government, Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, females and ASIO. These lovely people represent the secret police of our world.

A Grain of Salt ANOTHER Melbourne Cup Day departs and with it the monkeys (celebrities) return to their lesser lives, planning furiously for the next big event. What designer dress to wear? What colours will be in fashion? Where will the cameras be? The monkeys on parade with shorter short dresses. Added to by former racing minister Rob Hulls saying “We bring our own strain of egalitarianism, a great leveller when suburbia and celebrity come together”. How would you know Rob? I didn’t see any suburbia in the Birdcage. *** THE Friday before Cup Day I lay down for a quick snooze. No chance. Not another Greek Day! Can’t they cancel and send their money home to save world finances? I gave up; decided to go see. I might come across a nice Greek girl, or Alex Dimitriades; give him a few tips on acting. I saw older Greeks doing a strange dance; lots of eating to the tune of their weird music, no Zorba in sight. I had the ancient face so I donned black to blend in; got a free feed, but it was bloody noisy. Be nice to have 10 picnics every year outside their houses with loudspeakers. I departed early,

So You Think speed not used to advantage By Peter Ellis in Louisville, Kentucky IT is just over 12 months since So You Think left the stables of Bart Cummings in acrimonious circumstances. In the time since being transferred to Coolmore Stud’s Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien, the five-year-old has registered four wins and two seconds from eight starts. But in my view So You Think’s record would have been even better if he remained in the care of the Cups King. In a stunning revelation in the aftermath of the recent Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs in Kentucky, O’Brien said “he was still learning” about So You Think after having the horse for almost a year. This learning process in all likelihood prevented So You Think from finishing higher in the Prix de l’Arc De Triomphe at Longchamp and the Breeders’ Cup Classic. While the son of High Chaparral raced close to the lead when dominating Australia’s middle-distance races, the O’Brien team neglected to adopt these tactics in France and Kentucky. At Longchamp his jockey unwisely allowed him to settle towards the rear in a 16-horse field. Once clear in the straight he rattled home, but had to make up too much ground and finished fourth behind German filly Danedream. Then although he raced in fourth
and fifth at Churchill Downs, he didn’t have a lot of galloping room and was in the worst part of the track. Had O’Brien instructed jockey Ryan Moore to use So You Think’s speed to advantage, there would have been two plusses. He would have been able to find the better part of the track, and he would have had continuous forward momentum. The defeats probably prevented So You Think’s value from soaring to around the $50 million mark. Now instead of being send to stud, he has to restore the gloss to his reputation. O’Brien has indicated that next year he will attempt to capitalise on So You Think’s speed as Cummings did while the horse was in Australia. So we will be watching the dual Cox Plate winner’s progress in 2012 with interest. With the major racing in Europe and the United States and the Melbourne Spring Carnival over, the focus now moves to Perth. Cranbourne’s Craig Williams, who had a bumper spring carnival even though he missed the Melbourne Cup-winning ride on Dunaden, will be heading across the Nullabor to ride Avienus and Ortensia in the Group 1 features on Saturday at Ascot. Williams can already look forward to a successful autumn as a result of his association with up-and- coming three-year-old So Swift.
The gelding was having only his fifth start when brilliantly ridden by Williams to snatch victory in the $350,000 Sandown Guineas on Saturday. Based on this run, So Swift is going to be a force in the rich three-year-old races in Melbourne and Sydney in the early part of next year. Others to catch the eye of the meeting were Timely Truce, Shopaholic,

James takes the heat for national team
Running hot: James Henderson takes a penalty shot for Australia during the tour of Singapore.
FOUR o’clock starts may not be everyone’s preferred morning wake-up time, but twice a week for the past 18 months, James Henderson and his dedicated parents Daniel and Jennifer of Crib Point have made the trip to Melbourne so James can train with the Australian Basketball Digest at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre at Albert Park. The dedication to training at this elite level has paid off with James being selected to represent Australia in the inaugural Tour Singapore basketball tournament, which was held during the September school holidays. The squad consisted of teams in under-15 and -17 age groups with eight boys in the under-15 group chosen to play teams from Singapore and Malaysia. Competing in often stifling heat and humidity, James’s team won their age group division, but did not fare as well against taller and older competition in the under-17 group. “The players were highly skilled and hard to play against, plus the weather and some of the courts were not doing us any favours,” James said. “Over the eight days it was quite hot and humid and playing on a concrete outdoor court was difficult.” A portion of the travel expenses was secured through James’s own fund-raising efforts but the generous sponsorship of many Hastings and Frankston businesses, which donated items for raffles, ensured the trip was fully funded. James’s father, Daniel Henderson, a Warrant Officer Class 1 in the Australian Army based at HMAS Cerberus, secured further funds from the senior officers’ mess and Crest, the company operating recreational facilities and shops on the base. “The experience was amazing and I highly recommend the country and the people. Thank you to all the sponsors who helped me to get there,” James said. Jason Richardson Southern Peninsula News 15 November 2011
