On track searching for artefacts 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.

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.

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.

Helping hands for a theatre classic BUILDING and construction students of Rosebud TAFE built the scenery for one of the world’s most successful plays, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap.

The play will be performed by the Southern Peninsula Players at Rosebud Memorial Hall this week and next.

Six students doing their Certificate II in Building and Construction, led by teacher Greg Hansen, jumped at the chance to help the theatre company when approached.

Southern Peninsula Players have been performing two plays a year at the memorial hall for 59 years, coincidentally the length of time that The Mousetrap has been entertaining audiences in London’s West End. When the play was released to amateur theatre groups in Australia, SPP jumped at the chance to produce it.

At a thank you presentation for the students at Rosebud TAFE last week, SPP president Tony Staunton said all spots allocated to Australian theatre groups had been filled within three weeks “and we’re the first to put it on”.

Mr Staunton said it cost SPP $1800 for the right to produce The Mousetrap for seven nights.

“We rely on the community to keep us viable and we need young people like you to get involved,” he told the students.”

Teacher Greg Hansen told the students, who are doing the course before starting apprenticeships, that they were part of a great community on the southern peninsula.

The Mousetrap is the longest-running play in the world and made its debut with Richard Attenborough and his wife Sheila Sims leading the first performance in 1952.  The Mousetrap is at Rosebud Memorial Hall, Pt Nepean Rd, Rosebud, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday 3, 4 and 5 November, and next week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10, 11 and 12 November all at 8pm. There is a matinee at 2pm on Sunday 13 November. The two Saturday performances are cabaret-style. Tickets cost $20 for adults, $15 concession and $12 children under 12. There is a discount for prepaid groups of 10 or more. Book online at wwwspptheatre.org, call 5982 2777 or 5976 4494 between 9am and 5pm weekdays or visit Rosebud Carpets, 1275 Pt Nepean Rd.

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 single-councillor wards and could finish it with a multi-member 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 of the room 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 can-

didate since eight-year-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.

Peninsula histories snag two 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 424-page book comes with a DVD, which contains a short documentary as well as scanned stories, biographies, feature articles and 140 poems from The Post, and the entire book in PDF format with lists of the men who went to war, the units in which they served, timeline of the war and a comprehensive index.

The project is the work of the Mornington & District Historical Society and supporters including individuals, historical societies and financial backers including from the Tallis Foundation, Grand, Royal and Kirkpatricks hotels of Mornington, Victorian Community Fund – Holsworth Local Heritage Trust, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Mornington Racing Club and

Dymocks Bookshop in Mornington.

Our Boys at the Front won the “best collaborative/community work� at the 2011 Victorian Community History Awards presented by Royal Historical Society of Victoria and Public Record Office of Victoria.

Marie Hansen Fels’ book – ‘I Succeeded Once’: The Aboriginal Protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula, 1839-1840 – took the award for “best community research, register, records� (see book launch story page 35).

The awards recognise the contributions made by Victorians to the preservation of Victoria’s heritage. There were 160 entries and eight categories.

The judges said of Our Boys: “It is exhaustive in its coverage and suitably illustrated. It is an excellent example of a local history that illustrates the interconnectedness of its community with dominating world events.�

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.â€?

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,â€? the citation said. “This magnificent map arose out of the work of the Victorian committee of the ‘Australia on the Map’ organisation, set up to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first known charting of part of Australia’s coastline by Willem Janszoon in the Duyfken in 1606. “In order to put the achievements of the navigators in context and dispel ideas that the land was terra nullius when the European navigators arrived, the map includes hundreds of Aboriginal place names of the contiguous land masses of northern Tasmania and southern Victoria.â€? ď Ž 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). ď Ž ‘I Succeeded Once’: The Aboriginal Protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula, 1839-1840 is published

30 YEARS EXPERIENCE

‘Frost’ award a warm feeling for skink man

By Tony Murrell CONSERVATION stalwart Norm McKinlay has been honoured with a state Tidy Towns award for his voluntary work on the southern peninsula.

Mr McKinlay, 73, of West Rosebud, received the Dame Phyllis Frost Award, presented each year by the Keep Australia Beautiful Council to an individual who embodies the values of Dame Phyllis, a Melbourne welfare worker and philanthropist who founded KAB and lobbied for rights and better conditions for women in prison.

Mr McKinlay has spent a third of his life recreating habitat for the rare swamp skink, once thought extinct.

Hardly a day goes by that he can’t be found around Chinamans Creek, the Tootgarook Wetlands or Drum Drum Alloc Creek.

He said his award was affirmation of the efforts he and his friends had put into revegation of the area.

The highlander from Morayshire in northeast Scotland first visited the southern peninsula 25 years ago and in his own words “fell in love with the place”. His love of nature soon led him to a confrontation with the Mornington Peninsula Water Board over its plans to run the Portsea water pipeline through the swamp.

He had learned about the beautifully

marked small lizard, the swamp skink, and its rediscovery in the area.

Although he fought a losing battle over the pipeline, Norm had some significant wins in that 120 skinks were relocated to Healesville Sanctuary and much of the swamp was rehabilitated.

In 1995, the skinks and their offspring were reintroduced to the wetlands, much to the delight of Norm and fellow members of Friends of Chinamans Creek.

The volunteers have since worked

tirelessly on a “skink link” to join remnant vegetation along the creeks and around the swamp.

The work has recently been rewarded with a $25,000 grant from the federal government as part of the Caring for our Country program.

The money is funding monitoring, surveying, weed eradication, bank stabilisation and tree planting.

Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt paid tribute to Friends of Chinamans Creek’s “skink link” project, describing

secretary Norm as “a driving force”.

“We in the community owe a great debt of gratitude to Norm McKinlay and people like him for the care and dedication they give to our local environment,” Mr Hunt said.

Norm is far more comfortable for any honours to be shared by the group.

About his own efforts, he says he just loves nature and that the skinks need someone looking out for them.

“It’s a challenge. Someone has to do it.”

Hastings was also named a finalist for ‘Tidy Town of the Year’, and the peninsula had 16 other finalists across all categories.

Mornington Community Garden was a finalist in two categories – community action and water conservation.

St Macartan’s had six nominations in the categories of environmental sustainability, towards zero waste water conservation, energy efficiency, young leaders, and community leaders.

Mayor Graham Pittock said the community groups involved with these initiatives throughout the shire should be “incredibly proud of their efforts”.

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.

Overview: The cover of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2010-11 annual report.

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

Power bills sent to wrong ohm

By John Valentine POWER company AGL has a missing customer – and the customer has a big problem. They owe AGL more than $3100 and in late October were sent a disconnection notice.

How do I know all this? Because AGL was mistakenly sending the bills to the wrong address – mine.

Despite two phone calls to AGL, which acknowledged that my meter and customer numbers were different from those on the $3100 worth of bills, the disconnection notice – lewdly, vividly pink and threatening – showed up the other day. Also sent to my address.

During the second call to the company, I had asked the staffer whether she had any idea who the bills belonged to, so I could notify them.

Her response: AGL didn’t particularly care – whoever it was knew they were using electricity and it was their responsibility to pay their bills.

There seemed no point recommending she read Catch-22. Too many big words, and too complex a plot.

AGL appears convinced I should pay up, since it seems to have lost the identity of the “real” customer, who it addresses on its bills as “Dear Customer Dear Customer”.

But the disconnection notice contained what might have been a vital clue – an address other than mine.

Aha! At last I could track the customer down; save them from disconnection, blackout, fridge and

freezer disasters, nights without television, reconnection fees.

But no. It turned out to be Red Hill Consolidated School, which uses a different supplier.

When the disconnection notice arrived, I didn’t bother with AGL, but rang the Energy and Water Ombudsman (1800 500 509) to try to ensure my power would not be cut off. I was assured an email would be sent immediately instructing AGL that the matter was now under investigation and no such action should be taken.

While I had the energy ombudsman on the phone, I bravely tackled another gripe – that one of my two bills (there’s a second meter, on an outbuilding) has been sent to an incorrect address since the street name

was changed about a decade ago.

Ironic, really, this street address problem: another little error AGL has obdurately refused to remedy despite many phone calls.

So when the ombudsman said my power would not be cut off, I was reassured – up to a point. A company that can’t get an address correct, then loses a customer and tries to recover the money from an innocent bystander, cannot be relied on.

Next step: switch to another power supplier – any supplier, on the basis that they would need special, unusual and possibly internationally unique skills to give me more problems than AGL – which, I’m sure, has many, many happy customers.

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.

Portsea artefact search before track Continued from Page 1 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 DugayGrist 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.

Councils hit with ‘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 is “defined” in the sense that the formula for computing the employer’s contribution is known in advance.

Tech training back A bias to on the peninsula democracy

By Keith Platt

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, gold-toothed 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.

TECHICAL training for secondary students is coming back to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Construction of a $19 million trade training centre is scheduled 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-bebuilt $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 Liberal 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 reelected 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 stateof-the-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. It is also anticipated that students will become involved in Frankston City Council community projects.”

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.

PAGE 10

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.

Southern Peninsula News 1 November 2011

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?”

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 last Thursday week.

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 30 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 Times 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 Times 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.

Almost wet: The Mariah hovercraft caught between its transporter and the deep blue sea. The craft was soon launched and undergoing trials off Hastings. Picture: Mich Allen

Late lease bid to save pool

By Keith Platt LAWYERS for the Lew family company Shuttlehall Pty Ltd have mounted a late bid to lease public land at Mt Eliza on which their client has built a swimming pool.

The new tactic follows their offer to buy the land being rejected by the Department of Sustainability and Environment.

Mornington MP David Morris said the change would make no difference to his opposition to the Lew family being allowed to keep its pool.

He has asked the Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Ryan Smith, to reject “any lease application which … [would] enable

the matter to be brought to a close”.

“The pool should be demolished and the coastal reserve returned to its original condition as quickly as is reasonably possible.”

Mr Morris told The News that the legal process must “run its course, but we cannot allow a precedent to be set which would allow any individual to take control of public land when it suits them”.

“I am confident the government shares my view and the pool will ultimately be demolished and the land returned to the public.”

Mr Morris said he had not heard of a similar lease being granted by the DSE. The DSE’s decision not to sell

comes after legal jousting that started in July when it was revealed that Mr Lew and his daughter Jacqueline, through their family company Shuttlehall, had built an $80,000 infinity pool on Crown land next to a Lew family holiday home in Osprey Ave near the end of Kunyung Rd. Mornington Peninsula Shire ordered the pool by demolished after its chief building inspector said a retaining wall near the pool was unsafe and at risk of collapsing.

The shire also said the pool had been built without planning permits.

The shire later fenced off a section of Moondah Beach below the

pool, claiming it was unsafe for people on the beach.

Mr Lew challenged the shire’s order at the Building Appeals Board.

At the same time he sought to buy or lease the pool land from the state government’s DSE, which owns the land on behalf of all Victorians.

In late September the Building Appeals Board lifted the demolition order on the pool, but ordered the retaining walls be removed.

The board also ordered the pool must remain empty, covered to keep out rainwater and fenced off for public safety.

The board’s order stated that soil fill surrounding the pool must also be removed.

AROUND THE PENINSULA

Tanker spill chaos

By Mike Hast CFA units from the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula and the SES from Hastings battled a huge fuel spill after a tanker rolled in Tyabb at midnight on Saturday last week.

At the height of the drama, fireys from Mornington, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha, Frankston and Pattersons Lakes were called to a multi-million dollar blaze in Mornington.

In the Tyabb incident, a privateer trucker filled his tanker at the United Petroleum depot in Hastings.

Just before midnight his tanker rolled at the roundabout where Frankston-Flinders Rd meets Western Port Hwy. 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.

At Mornington, fire broke out 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, but returned to their homes during the week.

Arthur Haynes of Mornington fire station said a blacking out operation 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 morning 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.”

On Monday last week, 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.

Start to chemical clean up but long road ahead

Clean-up time: Concreters prepare a slab to hold equipment to clean up chemical contamination at the former Caltex service station site in Main St, Mornington.

PAGE 14

Southern Peninsula News 1 November 2011

By Keith Platt IT is likely to take at least another two years to clean up chemical contamination at the former Caltex service station site in Main St, Mornington.

Concreters were this week putting the finishing touches on a pad to house equipment for the clean up.

Caltex media adviser Sam Collyer said remediation of the site had been underway for some time with tests being made to find the best technique.

“We have trialled the use of a soil vapour extraction technique, which has been used successfully at many other sites,” Mr Collyer said.

“This remediation work is undertaken in situ and is designed to break down the contamination with minimal disturbance of the site.

“The necessary equipment is now being in-

stalled on site following the recent approval from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for this to occur.

“Once work begins, the remediation process is expected to take about two years. We will be closely monitoring this work and will adjust our comprehensive remediation strategy where appropriate.”

The chemical contamination is holding up the construction of a three-storey, $7 million apartment and shop complex in Main St. Contaminated groundwater has been found at least as far away as the Esplanade and Drake St. The shire granted a two-year extension to the planning permit to allow time for a clean up.

Plans for the land at the corner of Ross St and Main St include 18 apartments, four shops and a basement car park.

A Certificate of Environmental Audit or a Statement of Environmental Audit must be presented to the shire council before building begins.

Information about the contamination was given to councillors on 15 September 2008, and Mr Collyer in June said that the site, 16-20 Main St, was “in a condition typical of a service station of its age and usage”.

The clean up is being done by Coffey Environments, “specialists managing the earth”.

The assessment of the Caltex site given

by Coffey to the council in 2008 said contaminated soil found near the petroleum infrastructure had been “removed to the extent practicable”.

It said “the extent of groundwater impact is bounded by the area between the site, Main St, Drake St and the Esplanade”.

Quality “FORE� Your Dollar

Bland, Boring But Beachside

Superbly located amongst quality homes and backing on to the RACV Golf Course at Cape Schanck, this beautiful four bedroom residence will delight. Downstairs you have two living areas separated by two open fire places and a brick feature wall with floor to ceiling windows right across the front. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and dining complete the downstairs. Upstairs is a huge master bedroom with another full bathroom and rumpus room with views and ocean glimpses. Entertaining is a breeze with a fully enclosed entertaining area including a swim spa, open fire and powder room. Other features include ducted vacuum, floor heating, and intercom.

Yes this home looks un-interesting and has no street appeal, in fact it is downright drab, but wow this property is within 5 houses to the beach. With very little effort you could have a fantastic property.

The home has three good sized bedrooms all with BIRs and a large bright lounge/ dining opening into a very functional kitchen. The expected rental on this property would be $270.00 - $290.00 pw. For a holiday house you can’t get closer to shops, beach and food outlets. Great solid home with plenty of possibilities.

Locke it in Eddie

An Absolute Classic

This property offers a large array of unseen delights. Much larger than it appears with 4 great sized bedrooms, 2 separate living areas plus a massive kitchen meals area. There are 2 toilets, bathroom and laundry. Outside and the surprises continue. A wonderful corner block of 950m2 approx fully fenced with a lock up garage. Located within the Tyrone precinct this area is very popular due to its private aspect and its close proximity to the beaches and town. Make no mistake this is a ripper. Perfect holiday home, ideal first home or simply add it to your investment portfolio. So what will you do: A. Think about it B. Talk about it C. Dream about it D. Buy it now. You could ask the audience but they’ll be bidding against you and phoning a friend wont help; they’ll talk you out of it and buy it themselves. What about 50/50 if only there was another one like 8 Locke Street, Rye.

350m to BeachThis home typifies Rye. A lay back fibro beach house on a large level block right in the centre of the fun capital. The home rambles and is loaded with character. There’s plenty of bedrooms for the whole family, a central country style kitchen and lots of living room.

Overall condition is very good indeed. The block is level and regular in shape. There is access via 2 street frontages front and rear making boat / van storage a breeze. The location is one of the areas most popular with the beach and township only a short walk away. There is a gym, tennis courts and sports facilities close by. This is the sort of property the whole family will love. Picture, idyllic summer holidays with the kids and all the fun things to do right there on your doorstep. They don’t come much better than this. Be quick to inspect.

BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT - 250m to Beach

Cheapest House Surfside

Will you be the lucky new owner? Only time will tell. It has been with it’s current owners for generations but the time has come to move on.

Once sold it may be gone for ever. Can you live with that? If not you must call to inspect this property and then bid to buy it. On a rare beautifully level block of 920m2 (approx) with a lovely wide frontage of nearly 24m and literally a stones throw from the beach. The home is quite unique.

It’s in its quirky original condition and does tend to show its age throughout. There are 3 bedrooms plus a small study nook, 2 living rooms, a basic kitchen, bathroom, toilet and laundry facilities. Outside offers a carport, lots of shedding and bore water to keep everything nice and green. Ideally suited for a family beach house or knock it down and build your dream home in one of the Peninsula’s finest streets. You simply won’t find a better location by the beach!

The owner of the property built it decades ago and has used it as a holiday home since then. Whilst not glamorous it is quite substantial and was built to last. Solid block construction on a concrete base it should lend itself to future extensions and renovations. Use it as a blank canvas to re-create your masterpiece and enjoy the experience. The block is nicely sheltered from the road and has an extensive collection of shedding and fruit trees. Obviously with a suggested price range that is so affordable the property will appeal to a wide range of potential buyers including first home buyers, investors, builders and anyone else seeking a bargain. A quick glance at the Melways will confirm just how well located this property truly is. Vacant block adjoining also available and equally affordable.

Book shows Boon Wurrung through eyes of ‘protector’

By Mike Hast A LANDMARK work of Mornington Peninsula history – ‘I Succeeded Once’: The Aboriginal Protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula, 1839-1840 – was launched in the council chamber at Mornington in late September.

The book is a work of astonishing scholarship by peninsula-based author Marie Hansen Fels, who has PhD from Melbourne University, has been researching and writing about Aboriginal history for more than 30 years, and has published several widely acclaimed books.

I Succeeded Once tells the story of the peninsula’s indigenous people, the Boon Wurrung (also spelt Bonurong, Bunerong and Boonorung), in the crucial years when Europeans moved into the region and started taking their land.

The abduction of eight Boon Wurrung women and a boy by European seal hunters in 1834 at Point Nepean is given its own chapter in the book.

“I succeeded once” is a statement made by the government-appointed assistant Aboriginal protector, William Thomas, who travelled with the Boon Wurrung, although they looked after him as much as, if not more, than he looked after them, according to the writer of the book’s foreword, Eleanor Bourke, chairperson of the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council.

“Ultimately, the protectorate was a failure: Fels sees Thomas as a good

man who tried his best to get justice for the people, [Chief Protector George Augustus] Robinson as a bad administrator and the government as mean,” Ms Bourke writes.

The book includes observations filtered through the eyes of William Thomas.

The author has paraphrased his journals so reading it is easy. Thomas quotes Aboriginal speech, revealing their opinions and attitudes, a rare and precious source of information about the peninsula.

The book has more than 100 pages of biographical details of individual Aboriginal men.

Ms Bourke: “The records she has used ... were written in the earliest years of contact with Europeans, before traditional life changed forever.

“These are rare and valuable records of interest to all Victorians. Though they were written for other purposes, mainly administrative, and by white males of the early 19th century, [they] are the closest we can get to the Indigenous people whose land was taken in the 1830s.”

Thomas also “protected” the Boon Wurrung at three government-selected “protectorate stations” on the peninsula – near Old Moorooduc Rd at Tuerong, on a site now occupied by the Dromana Drive-In, and near Cape Schanck on land now owned by horseracing millionaire Lloyd Williams.

There were two other protectorate stations, both chosen by the Boon Wurrung – near Coolart at Somers and at McCrae Homestead, the first place settled by Europeans and well documented in the writings of property owner Georgiana McCrae.

Eleanor Bourke writes: “[The book] asks the question ‘why was there so little trouble, neither deaths nor hostilities on the Mornington Peninsula, when the rest of Victoria was characterised by trouble?’

“The reason Fels advances is the nature of the reciprocal relationships between the earliest European occupiers of the Mornington Peninsula and the original owners.

“She has discovered much new information that will be of interest to all people with a connection to the land of the peninsula.

“The scientist Dr [Guy] Holdgate was generous enough to allow his wonderful map of Lake Phillip to be published. It will be a source of great satisfaction to many that science has confirmed the oral tradition so carefully handed down (and recorded by Europeans) that in past times, Port Phillip was a hunting ground and people walked across it to Corio.”

Speakers at the book launch in Mornington included mayor Graham Pittock, Nepean MP Martin Dixon, executive director of Aboriginal Affairs Victoria Ian Hamm, and Marie Fels.

Cr Pittock said the book represented the “hard work and tenacity” of Marie Fels. “It provides a detailed and skillful insight” and will become “a landmark work of Mornington Peninsula history”.

Mr Dixon said he never ceased to be amazed by the richness of the peninsula’s history. “My eyes have been opened by the impeccable sources” in the book, a “warts and all” account of quite remarkable detail.

“There are lessons to be drawn from the peaceful coexistence of the Aboriginal people and the first European settlers,” he said.

Mr Hamm, a Yorta Yorta man, said the book was as much about where “we are going as where we have been”.

For Aboriginal people, the 21st century in Victoria was a complex and transitory place.

“Sixty per cent of the state’s Aboriginal population is aged under 25. We are trying to rediscover our identity in the post-Eddie Mabo environment. Prior to Mabo it was about where we lived; now we are trying to find our place in the world.”

He told the room of mostly European descent, including many members of peninsula historical societies, “the peninsula is as much your home as is was ours in the 1800s”.

“Your home might be on one of the former Aboriginal stations; the beach where you swim might be where the

Boon Wurrung met the first European settlers.

“The present is not based on inherited guilt; we have the opportunity to shine a light on the future together.”

He said I Succeeded Once was a piece of the continuing story of the first people, a part of a greater picture.

Marie Fels said the book would not have been possible without support from Joe Cauchi, the shire’s recently retired director of communities, who provided $1500 of shire money to buy 28 reels of microfilm of William Thomas’s journals; Phil Hughes, the shire’s head of geographical information services, who identified the sites of the protectorate stations from George Smythe’s 1840 map; and the shire’s chief librarian Geoff Carson, who organised the long-term loan of books from Rosebud Library’s special history collection.

“I am honoured you have all come today,” she said.  ‘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

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 30 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 Times 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 Times 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.

Almost wet: The Mariah hovercraft caught between its transport and the deep blue sea. The craft was soon launched and undergoing trials off Hastings. Picture: Mich Allen

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.”

OUR ADVERTISERS

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. Details: Steven Karakitsos, 0402 827 782.

BANDS, MUSICIANS,

Australia’s best rehearsal studio!

THE PRAC SHACK

The southern peninsula is alive with the sound of music THE sounds of music are becoming a regular occurrence in Rye and now even more so with the opening of a custombuilt rehearsal studio The Prac Shack at 106 Melbourne Rd, Rye. The studio has been set up in conjunction with the Guitar Shack next door. Business owners and operators Rick Bruce and Mario Riccioni said that with so many musicians coming in to the Guitar Shack,

and asking if there were any local rehearsal studios available, it seemed like an obvious move.

Rick and Mario having been working musicians for 30 years and, having endured many “seedy” rehearsal rooms, decided to build a room where sound and comfort were paramount.

The room has a high-end PA system with microphones and stands. It also has facilities

for bands to bring there own equipment in and do recordings. There is a clean and comfortable foyer area, with television, tea and coffee provided.

The Prac Shack is a multipurpose room that could also be used for music tuition, mothers’ group meetings or small aerobic classes.

Healthy Living Cholesterol questions answered

By Lyndy Saltmarsh of Renew You Wellness Centre CHOLESTEROL is a type of fat that is vital for life. It is a building block for many metabolic processes in the body including making hormones, supporting cell structure and making bile. Cholesterol can be found in certain foods (for example, meats, dairy products and eggs) and is also made by your liver.

Too much cholesterol can be detrimental to your health by promoting fatty plaque deposits in blood vessels, known as atherosclerosis, increasing your risk of cardiovascular disease.

If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had your cholesterol levels checked, ask our practitioner about having them tested today.

Cholesterol: the good and the bad When you get your cholesterol levels checked, our practitioner will be interested in two main types of cholesterol: high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

HDL is essentially the good form of cholesterol while LDL is the bad form of cholesterol.

If the ratio of HDL to LDL is out of balance (that is, not enough HDL and too much LDL), this puts you at increased risk of heart disease.

Our practitioner can identify if you have unhealthy cholesterol levels and prescribe specific natural supplements to restore balance between the good and bad types of cholesterol.

â&#x20AC;˘ Follow the principles of the Mediterranean diet which is rich in fresh fish, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil and garlic. People following the this diet have the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world. â&#x20AC;˘ Cut down on sugar in your diet.

2. Lose weight. If you are overweight, weight loss is an essential part of reducing your cholesterol levels. If you need to lose weight, our practitioner can support you with a clinically proven, specialised weight loss program.

3. Get moving. Daily physical activity is vital for improving cardiovascular health, stabilising cholesterol levels and for weight maintenance.

4. Adopt a healthy lifestyle. It is also important that you address factors such as stress and smoking, as these can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.

5. Supportive supplements from the natural dispensary. As well as the dietary and lifestyle strategies already suggested, the following natural medicines may also help prevent and/or treat high cholesterol: â&#x20AC;˘ Krill oil is a valuable source of essential fatty acids, antioxidants and phospholipids, which have been shown to be effective in reducing cholesterol. This source of essential fatty acids can help to correct the balance of good and bad cholesterol. â&#x20AC;˘ Sugar cane wax sterols (or policosanols) are natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answer for mildly elevated cholesterol.

They help reduce LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol.

A barefoot bowl is good for the soul

Five simple steps to lowering cholesterol Diet and lifestyle changes must form the foundation of any cholesterol lowering plan.

1. Follow a cholesterol-lowering eating plan.

Important dietary changes to improve your general cardiovascular health include: â&#x20AC;˘ Eliminate damaging trans fats. â&#x20AC;˘ Reduce your saturated fat intake. â&#x20AC;˘ Increase the amount of good fats you eat.

Start making changes today It is never too late to improve your health, and the simple dietary and lifestyle modifications outlined here, along with appropriate supplementation, can add years to your life and life to your years.

Discuss your cholesterol levels with our practitioner today.

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 Sustainability Street

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.”

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.

Riddle: Johnny’s mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third child’s name? Answer page 44.

The Westle way is to love where you live A SUNDAY afternoon drive to some of Stewart Westle’s favourite haunts sounds just as the Red Hill artist’s paintings look: there is enthusiasm for every road bend, cove and ridge, and you’ll be reminded more than occasionally “we really are very lucky”.

The Flinders coastline through to Cape Schanck is especially lyrical for Stewart, along with the southern peninsula back beaches, with moods and forms that constantly inspire.

Sketchbook under arm, Stewart spends many hours watching sea and sky play at places peninsula surfers call “Big Left”, “Kerry Green”, around West Head to “The Farm” and many others.

Back in his Red Hill studio, a three-stage technical approach to his canvases enables clean vibrance in Westle’s oils, in a style that’s often been described as “joy” to match compositions that are often an exclamation.

Always to music, the painter recreates the joy of the coast,

the rolling hinterland vistas, or a great place and day for a picnic.

When painting comes easily to him, Westle says “it often means I’m loving where I live”.

Stewart likes to think his works can serve as reminders “to be grateful for and aware of the wonders around us” as Mornington Peninsula folk.  Stewart Westle’s works feature throughout November in the Manyung at Sorrento exhibition “Where I Belong ... Our Peninsula”.

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”.

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-

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

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

Major Exhibition Early & Contemporary Australian Women Artists 29 October – 4 December 2011

Food and wine takes back seat to bubbles CROWDS flocked to the Main Street Mornington Festival for the 16th annual fiesta of food, wine and performing arts. The event came under the banner of the town’s 150th birthday celebrations, which continued with a Picnic in the Park. The Main Street Festival – organised by Northern Mornington Peninsula Tourism Association with main sponsor the shire council – was attended by about 20,000, fewer than last year due to inclement weather in the morning.

Performers ranging from jazz bands to rock bands and African drummers wowed the crowds at two stages.

Police reported that the crowd was well-behaved and no arrests were made.

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.

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.

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 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.

Running is a noble cause for Jack

By Peter McCullough JACK Knobel is 64 and has been a GP in Mornington for 27 years. A marathon is 42 kilometres in length and Jack has never run one. On Sunday 6 November he is participating in the New York Marathon. We thought it was time to ask him what was going on.

How did you develop your interest in running?

Probably in National Service.

I was conscripted in the 1960s, but because I was doing medicine I was able to defer until I became a doctor. Being in the army required running and training and getting up early.

I was always physically fit; I used to do a lot of swimming at university. But the army started me running and I have been doing it on and off for more than 40 years.

Always long distance?

No. I was just a dabbler at the start. But then when I was at Lorne – I was there for 10 years before coming to Mornington – I joined a group and we used to run through the Otways about two or three times a week. I also played tennis and squash and still did some swimming, so I was physically fit.

When I came to Mornington I resumed running. Not long

in the City to Surf in Sydney and in the inaugural Wellington City run in New Zealand.

Doctor distance: Mornington GP Jack Knobel is training for his first New York Marathon at age 64.

distances – 10 or 15 kilometres would be the most I would ever run. However over the last five years I have become interested in longer distances, only because my running partner (Robert Bodin, a landscaper in

Mornington) was keen. So we do about one a month of 15km. or more. Two of them would be half marathons (21 km) but this will be my first full marathon.

Are the runs all local?

Mostly, although we have run

What has prompted the step up to marathon?

Rob Bodin’s nephew, who is 20 years younger than me, thought he would like to run in the New York Marathon, which is one of the great world marathons.

These big world-class marathons only have the one distance (42km) whereas the Melbourne marathon also incorporates a half-marathon and a 10 km run, all combined. So in New York you have 50,000 people all running the 42km.

Rob’s nephew asked us to join him and, after a bit of thought, Rob and I said, “Well we’ll do it”.

Is there a qualification requirement?

Yes, you have to have run in the New York Marathon previously or have run a good time of 1.45 for the half-marathon. I can do the half-marathon in just over two hours. The third way to get in is by a ballot, which we succeeded in doing. An Australian company, Travelling Fit, has 200 places and you pay for a corporate package: entrance fee, three nights’ accommodation, and a few other bits.

How do you think you will fare?

I’m not a fast runner. I can do a half-marathon in just over two hours, so a marathon will probably take me about 4.5 hours. Last year’s winner ran 2.10, although the world record is 2.05. So the Kenyans will be finishing while I’m at the halfway mark! They can run a kilometre in three minutes and maintain that pace.

What training are you doing?

Normally I run 10km about four days a week with the occasional day extending to 20km.

At present I’m running 30km a day and hope to build up to 37km a day next week.

Where is the course?

It starts at Staten Island, crosses the bridge to Brooklyn, through Manhattan, the Bronx, and then does a loop to finish at Central Park. All the streets are closed and about two million spectators line the route. At Central Park there are about 100 bands, food venues and other entertainment.

Would you be one of the oldest competitors?

Probably, but there are a few 70 year olds in the Australian contingent. However I am confident that I can complete the course.

Have you been to New York before?

I had never been in my 64 years and then three months ago we were invited to a 40th birthday party in New York. So this will be the second visit for my wife and I in a short space of time.

Finally, why do you run?

Most people would only run like you do if someone was after them!

Every time I run I get a real adrenalin rush and when I finish I feel really good. Besides, although it might be an extreme method to keep fit, it certainly keeps the weight down and I enjoy good health.

Postscript: Since completing this story, Indian-born Fauja Singh finished the full-distance Toronto Marathon in the notso-impressive time of 8 hours 11 minutes, more than six hours behind Kenya’s Kenneth Mungara who won the event for the fourth consecutive time.

So what? Well Fauja has seen out 100 summers and this was his eighth marathon after he ran his first at age 89. On crossing the finish line, Fauja said: “Achieving this will be like getting married again.”

Don’t stop, Jack. Keep running.
