Inspired by an upturned world LOOKING forward to another Mornington Peninsula visit for the opening of her October exhibition, Miertje Skidmore says “I love coming over there, and one of these days I think I’ll come over and stay”. A huge attraction for the artist is that the peninsula is framed by water, from which many of Miertje’s abstract works draw their inspiration at her Victor Harbour home in South Australia. A fascination for the natural world drives her art. Subject matter comes from beyond a passive observation – as it may for landscape artists. It is inspired by active investigation and discovery. Since she was a girl the artist has never been happy to sit and watch; she’s been out turning over rocks, logs and other matter to examine underneath: “Marble cut open or ancient wood sliced, a fossilised leaf or insect can leave us humbled and inspired by the majesty of nature.” Her works are often drawn from her microscopic eye, with pieces more than a metre in width or length often representing just a couple of square centi-

metres of our “upturned” natural world: “the most incredible colours can come from that moist environment”. She aims to convey timelessness in her paintings, taking inspiration from the “power and mystery of the earth we live in that often goes unseen, yet goes on in its amazing diverse beauty without audience”. “This is what I hope to convey in my work. I have worked in a range of media mostly in acrylics, pastels and oils; I have a great love of coloured glass, and now paint in high gloss mixed media.” Large format canvases enable Miertje to create striking works with explosions of colour and motion. Born in WA, Miertje has been painting for more than 30 years and her works have been bought by private and corporate collectors here and overseas, including the National Australia Bank, Princess Monika of Germany. Miertje Skidmore is exhibiting until 31 October at Manyung at Sorrento, 113a Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento. Phone 9787 2953 and www.manyung gallery.com.au James Clark-Kennedy

Choppers again under fire By Keith Platt THE increasing use of helicopters has again risen as an issue for Mornington Peninsula Shire. In August 2005 the shire avoided adopting a helicopter landing policy by asking the state government to consider establishing a network of landing sights across the state. It also sought scientific help from

several government departments regarding safety issues and the effect of noise on animals. Now, a review of helicopter use by the state Department of Planning and Community Development has led to recommendations that do not suit the shire. Under its current policy, council has no objection to the use of helicopters by emergency services, including po-

In a response to the proposed changes, infrastructure director Alex Atkins stated they appeared “geared to deregulating the low frequency use of helicopters”. He said no case had been made to strategically justify the deregulation. Mr Atkins stated there was a need for

Ferry unusual: The refurbished MV Queenscliff was the biggest craft to dock at Waterfront City in Melbourne’s Docklands. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon of aquamanships.com

Ferry big day at Docklands “It provides a haven for relaxing and reading complimentary newspapers, while the kids can enjoy the playground. “Chef Ken Wall offers a menu with produce sourced from neighbouring regions in the new café, and coffee from a qualified barista is a mandatory addition.” Mr McDonald said the Sorrento-Queenscliff route was “Australia’s busiest car and passenger route, with more than 700,000 passengers a year”. “The route generates about $130 million in revenue for the local economy and is a primary cog in the whole region’s tourism experience.” After a couple of big days in the big smoke, where she was the largest vessel to visit Waterfront City at Docklands, MV Queenscliff made her way back to the southern part of Port Phillip to earn her keep. Searoad Ferries operates in all weather, seven days a week, every hour from 7am to 6pm from Sorrento and Queenscliff. An extra service at 7pm runs from 26 December to 9 April 2012. For fares and coming events on board, visit www.searoad. com.au.

MORE than 20,000 Melburnians have inspected the refurbished Sorrento-to-Queenscliff ferry MV Queenscliff at Docklands. The ferry was used as a focus point to relaunch the company formerly known as Peninsula Searoad Transport, which has operated a car ferry across southern Port Phillip since 1987. Searoad Ferries is led by new boss Matt McDonald, who replaced long-time general manager Jack McKeddie in March. The ferry was officially launched by Minister for Tourism and Major Events Louise Asher. Ms Asher said the ferry service connecting the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas “was an important [piece of] tourism infrastructure”. “It links Mornington Peninsula and the Great Ocean Road, showcasing the bay.” Matt McDonald said the refurbished ferry was unlike any other in Australia. There was a new lounge with “super comfortable chairs and 360-degree views”.

Peace grows at Heronswood By Mike Hast HERONSWOOD in Dromana has its long-sought after 70-seat restaurant and long-suffering neighbours a bit more serenity, parking restrictions and a safer road. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors on Monday last week approved a planning amendment that gives Heronswood owners Penny and Peter Blazey a permit to upgrade the historic property’s 20-seat cafe to a 70-seat restaurant. Conditions placed on the property owners include formalising and sealing the car park beside Latrobe Pde; running a shuttle bus from Point Nepean Rd to the property on busy weekends; hiring traffic marshalls during summer; building sound walls for two neighbouring properties; and submitting all future changes to a consultative committee, which will have an independent chairman. The shire will ask VicRoads to lower the speed limit by 10km/h on Latrobe Pde near Heronswood to 50km/h. The decision brought to an end a sometimes acrimonious battle between Heronswood and its supporters, and neighbours and other objectors who were concerned about the growth of commerce at the property, which was established as a private residence in 1864 and is the second-oldest historic place on the peninsula after Barragunda in Cape Schanck. Heronswood neighbour Katherine Porter remembers the warning someone gave her almost two years ago when she and other locals were objecting to the business expansion plans. “Heronswood is like Bambi in the Disney movie; you’ll get all sorts of criticism if you oppose Heronswood. Clive and Penny have almost attained god status for their horticultural endeavours.” The comment stuck in her mind, but it didn’t stop her and other active objectors from trying to get some relief for neighbours of the heritage-listed property with its Picturesque Gothic house, built in 1874, its stunning garden and commercial enterprises that attract a steady stream of visitors – and their cars. In late 2009, the shire approved plans for the 70-seat restaurant, allowing the conversion of the 20-seat “tearooms” into a full-blown eatery in suburban Dromana. Neighbours and others objected and the matter had to go through a long process. Heronswood has been a popular destination for garden tourists for 22 years and is the home of a retail plant

Cars rule no more: New conditions at Heronswood could mean the end of cars parked close to Latrobe Pde in Dromana, obstructing sightlines of drivers exiting the car park and stopping some residents trying to leave their properties, which can only be reached by driving through the Heronswood car park. On busy days a shuttle bus will operate from the information centre on Point Nepean Rd at the bottom of the hill.

nursery and Digger’s Club, Australia’s largest garden club, an organisation the Blazeys use to preserve “the best traditions” of gardening. The Blazeys teach gardening at horticultural colleges, run workshops at Heronswood and publish books. Clive Blazey is a member of the family that made its fortune with Hortico and Penny Blazey is a member of the “old money” Sorrento family the Hiscocks. They bought Heronswood in 1983 and it became the base of Digger’s Club. The Blazeys planted five gardens and green thumbs flocked to the property, leading them to start a cafe in 1994. Ms Porter and the other objectors were concerned about the growth of commerce, the increased number of

cars and attendant road safety problems. Heronswood is open seven days a week and its car park is often full. Objectors claimed an expanded restaurant and more “vegie” seminars would put even more pressure on parking and possibly lead to more accidents on the curving, steep Latrobe Pde, which has about five minor crashes a year. Last week councillors were told by shire planners that a number of special events are held on the site each year and “attract a considerable number of visitors”. “The primary parking area for the site is located on the road reserve in the form of a service road and parking spaces, which have been partially constructed by the owners of Heronswood. “The service road also provides ac-

cess for residential properties to the north of the Heronswood site.” Getting councillors to agree to the shuttle bus was a big win. Ms Porter told The News the property’s “spring harvest” weekends would see a return to the good old days if the shuttle bus system worked. “There are more controls on the site,” she said. “The plant retail area must stay at 100 square metres and can only sell seeds and plants rather than gardening equipment. “They have to do parking surveys in summer and on one of their special event days. All conditions are up for future review.” Ms Porter said she was pleased Latrobe Pde would be safer. Cars will no longer be permitted to park close to the road edge, which made it difficult

A government panel considered submissions for and against Heronswood’s expansion plans and handed its decisions to the council in August. All conditions will be enshrined in an “omnibus” permit. Mayor Graham Pittock’s idea of forming a consultative group to monitor Heronswood’s expansion while the application went through the state planning labyrinth has been retained. The committee comprises Penny Blazey and Talei Kenyon of Heronswood, four residents, Allan Cowley and Russell Smith of the shire, and Cr Pittock.

Voices tuned for arts festival THE second Peninsula Festival of Arts & Ideas: Arts Alive 2011 promises to be a lively and exciting “trail” of arts and cultural events from late September to November, says the shire council’s cultural planner Andrea Ebsworth. “The festival will inspire and appeal to residents of all ages, and attract visitors to discover the diversity of our creative peninsula,” she said. The shire’s library services “Books & Writing Program” offers lovers of the written and spoken word to meet, hear and discuss writing and poetry with peninsula and visiting writers. A bit of whimsy will be the musical theatre Trivia Night performers from the region’s community theatre scene, presented by Mornington Theatre Company. The shire’s portable truck stage has been converted into a “travelling tent”. The Arts Alive 2011 stage starts the celebration in Sorrento on Friday 14 October with the “Live the Life Fiesta’” live music performance and light projection show on the Continental Hotel. The portable stage will be at Mornington’s Main Street Festival on Sunday 16 October with musicians and performances including Baluk Arts, an acoustic FReeZA show, Baluk Arts and the Break Loose dancers, and Hip Hop Circus. Winners of the Go Green Slam poetry competition will be announced. The bottom of Main St will be turned into a creative playground with street chalk art, a Punch and Judy 150th show with renowned peninsula puppeteer Ian Cuming, and hands-on drawing and painting workshops for children.

Above criticism: The police and other emergency services are welcome to use the peninsula as a landing ground, but controversy has again flared over landing rights for other helicopter users.

The portable stage ends its tour at Mornington’s 150th birthday “Picnic in the Park” on Sunday 23 October and performances from Mornington Concert Band and a snapshot of Panorama Theatre Company’s new show. Highlights of the music program: Westernport Regional Band presents Music, Music, Music Live @ the Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington, on Saturday 15 October, showcasing big band sounds of the Royal Australian Navy’s jazz ensemble The Corvettes, Westernport Regional Band, Beverly Fraser’s Jazz Affair Quintet and the Hot Chizels.

Shire again forced to focus on chopper use Continued from Page 1

The sites were met by stiff opposition, leading in August 2005 to council effectively abandoning its search for helipads by passing the problem on to the state government. Six years later, the shire is again being confronted by many of the same opponents to the suggested five sites. Pen-X, an email clearing house for environment groups, is being used to mobilise opposition to the relaxation of landing rights for helicopters. Subscribers are being told that the proposed regulations “could potentially allow a helicopter to take off or land 1000 metres or potentially 150 to

250 metres from any person’s property eight times a month or four times in a 24 hour period”. In a separate email, Mt Eliza Action Group secretary June Horner said council had in the past “held the line” by refusing planning permits for heliports. “Let us hope that this new LiberalNational state government has the commonsense not to let it happen. “I am sure there is a lot of pressure on the government from developers and entrepreneurs who have land beachside on the peninsula to have their own helicopter. “A can of worms will be opened up if they do.”

30 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Tour de triumph: riders reach the heights By Keith Platt IS that a croc or a rock? The Tour de Timor can take its toll on a bike rider’s faculties. Forty degree days, nine degree nights, tropical rain and mud, heat shimmers, crocodiles, snakes and gastro. Sounds like a fun holiday. More adventure than holiday, this year’s Tour de Timor mountain bike race was a triumph for George Patterson and his son Bryce (‘Father and son saddle up for world’s toughest tour’, The News 9/8/11). The father and son from Rye were among 450 starters and the 327 riders who finished the race, which saw 60 riders overcome with heat exhaustion on the first day of the six-day event. “Along with dehydration, one’s fitness was tested severely in stage one, with an overall climb for the day from sea level to 1300 metres in searing 3540 degree temperatures,” George said after the race. “The 730km course was over a very mountainous and extremely difficult terrain, of various poor quality roads, tracks, river beds, and sandy conditions.” Tour winner Luke fetch took 20.5 hours and pocketed US$25,000, Bryce (255th) covered the distance in 40.5 hours and George (303rd) took 46 hours. “There wasn’t much recovery time each night, as accommodation was sleeping in personal tents or on ground mats. “The ride climbed an overall total of 7500 metres, or the equivalent of doing Arthurs Seat 28.5 times, and on

some atrocious roads. “We both lost around four kilograms a day in sweat and fat, but ate around the same weight each night of rice, potatoes, fish and chicken. More interestingly, my bike computer indicated 16,756 calories were burnt over the six days. “There is probably an easier way to get fit, but not having the same adventure.” George said the tour was an “overwhelming success” for the organisers and Timor Leste. The former East

Timor gained independence in 2002 following the withdrawal of occupying Indonesian forces in 1999, which ended a 25-year bloody struggle. “The country is bereft of much development, being sustained by a huge Australian military and UN presence,” George said. “The purpose of the Tour de Timor was to promote the country and give Timorese the opportunity to look forward to ‘new heroes, and heroes without guns’, according to the president,

Dr Jose Ramos-Horta. “Timor Leste is still a devastated land, but the Timorese are striving to improve things and there is ample evidence of new infrastructure and development. “The people are incredibly friendly, and by doing the tour we travelled through some of the most remote places in Timor, experiencing hospitality and encouragement all along the way. “It was great to see and meet a number of peninsula and Melbourne riders, participating as individuals or

bike club members. The fellowship and support from all riders was reassuring when faced with lonely riding along jungle tracks or coastal roads.” He said next year’s tour was likely to include a detour into Indonesian West Timor “to promote harmony and peace between the two previous antagonists”. This month George is in Malaysia to ride in the five-day Langkawi International Mountain Bike Challenge while son Bryce returns to studying law at Melbourne University.

Call for ideas on Police Point Park THE public is being invited to make suggestions for the future use of the 17-hectare Police Point Shire Park in Portsea. Mornington Peninsula Shire was given control of the park in 2004, five years before the state government gained full control of the neighbouring Point Nepean National Park. The shire’s park is sandwiched between the southern boundary of Portsea and the national park. A management plan for the park was adopted by the shire in 2009 and now it wants community input for a draft recreation and conservation action plan to guide the future use and development of the area. Suggestions for the park’s future can be made online or given personally at the end of the month to shire officers and consultants who will be at a stall in Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento. The plaque commemorating the handover of the park says it is for “use as public open space”. The shire says its wants “a creative natural-style play space playground … but we are interested in ideas for this, including ideas about picnic facilities, toilets, an interpretation centre and community use of existing buildings”. Previously owned and managed by

Private meets public: A private house on the boundary of Portsea overlooks the Police Point Shire Park, which contains several houses now managed by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

the federal government, Police Point Shire Park was from the mid-1850s the site of the police barracks and the gatekeeper’s quarters of the Point Nepean Quarantine Station. In the early 20th century the barracks were relocated and four additional quarantine station staff houses were built. The site was used by the Department of Defence until 1998 and two older

buildings on the site are unused while the four staff houses are used for occasional respite accommodation. Public opposition eventually led the the department to drop plans to subdivide and sell off prime parts of the national park, although it remained disputed territory until the handover to the state after the 2007 election of a Labor federal government. The park was added to the National

Heritage List in 2006 and is also included in heritage listings at a state and local level. Ideas and suggestions on facilities for the park and possible new uses for the existing buildings can be made on feedback forms at www.mornpen.vic. gov.au under Facilities and Leisure, Parks and Reserves, or by contacting shire heritage planner Simon Lloyd at simon.lloyd@mornpen.vic.gov.au.

“The best place to go to see the wildflowers is a bushwalk or bike ride along Clump or Link roads.” The national park has more than 100 species of native orchids and plants. The island can be reached by ferry

But instead of heading off to party islands or lazing around on tropical beaches, Natalie wants to work with an aid organisation to help people in need. Until recently the 27-year-old nanny from Baxter was saving to be a volunteer in Africa, but has now readjusted her sights and is aiming to combine trekking in Nepal with helping mothers and their babies through the Save the Children Foundation. “I’m an every-day person looking to make a change,” Natalie, right, says. “My first time overseas and I’ll be diving straight into the deep end. “For as long as I can remember it’s been a dream of mine to go overseas and help those less fortunate and until now it hasn’t seemed possible. “Truthfully, I’m scared, I’m nervous, but taking a leap. “It’s not the travel, the hiking, the adventure or meeting new people that scares me. This I am totally ready for. “My biggest fear is believing in myself and believing there are enough people out there who have the same burning passion to reach out and help those in need.” Natalie is raising money for Save the Children through her webpage (savethechildrenfundraising.org.au/ natalie_vanderwal) and a fundraising night on Saturday 15 October at Frankston cafe B’Artiste. The night will include a DJ playing “old classics”, speakers from Save the Children, footage of the last Trek to

Nepal, door prizes, raffles and auctions. Volunteers try to raise $4000 for the foundation’s health and education fund. “Anything above this which has not been taxed can be used to go towards my trip costs, which in turn will help prolong my stay in Nepal,” Natalie said. “I hope to stay and volunteer alongside the locals, experience the culture and learn as much as I can along the way.” Natalie hopes her efforts will “broaden other people’s horizons and help them see a bigger picture of what’s really going on in the world. It doesn’t just end at your front doorstep.” Natalie’s publicity is being helped along by Ashleigh Hoult of public relations company, The Promo Donna. Ms Hoult signed on as a fundraising volunteer after friends told her about Natalie’s project. To find out more about Save the Children in Nepal, visit www.savethe children.org.au/treknepal.

Survivor: Battlescars author Matthew Carr in Baghdad. He is guest speaker at Peninsula Health’s annual meeting this month.

Soldier and author’s cancer battle SOLDIER, author and cancer survivor Matthew Carr is guest speaker at Peninsula Health’s annual meeting on Friday 18 November. Major Carr served in Iraq and Afghanistan, but at 25 was diagnosed with stage three testicular cancer, which then spread through his lymphatic system and established secondary malignant tumours in his stomach, lungs and neck. “In January 2002, I was 10-foot tall and bullet proof. Not only was I trained and well prepared for war, I was looking for a fight,” he writes in his book Battlescars. “That same month I was diagnosed

with testicular cancer. I suddenly found myself in a battle that I had not been expecting. It was not the type of fight I had been has been hoping for.” After making a full recovery, he went to China on a completely different journey and attempted to find peace and come to grips with both death and hope by meeting Taoist monks. He compared his cancer to the war in Afghanistan. He used his army training as a strategy to fight an enemy (cancer) that was invading his body. “It was not a battle, it was a counter insurgency, with rogue cells creating a civil war within the body,” he says. The cancer returned and he ended

up fighting it for more than 10 years. He was tested in ways he would never imagine, underwent chemotherapy in Darwin and major operations in Sydney to treat tumours. “The disease took so much from me and brought me close to death, but it also gave me the strength and confidence to embrace life so much more graciously,” he writes. Matthew Carr will talk about his experiences at the meeting from 2-4pm on Friday 18 November at Frankston Arts Centre, Davey Street, Frankston. Entry is free and refreshments provided.

Wetland fill knock back By Mike Hast THE state planning tribunal has stopped the filling of a section of Tootgarook Wetlands. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal rejected an application by Community Village Australia, owners of the Village Glen retirement complex, to dump earth from a building site in Rosebud West. The earth would have built up a 2.7-hectare section of the wetlands near St Elmos Close, at the rear of the Village Glen complex, for 36 new units, stage six of the complex that was started in 1980 by Mt Eliza millionaire Charles Jacobsen. About 27,000 cubic metres of earth would come from nearby Balaka St where Mr Jacobsen is building a nursing home to replace the smaller Ti Tree Gardens nursing home. The VCAT decision is a David v Goliath win for St Elmos Close near-neighbours Cameron Brown and Jessica Durrant, who objected to the development and took the matter to the tribunal. The couple had to become overnight naturalists, hydrologists, historical researchers, investigators, advocates and interrogators. They were up against Simon Molesworth QC and a troupe of eminent expert witnesses during a three-day hearing. However, the application was re-

jected by the tribunal on a technicality and Community Village Australia will resubmit a new application. A spokesman from Southern Peninsula Flora and Fauna Association, which among other environment groups was advising Mr Brown and Ms Durrant, said there was insufficient protection for the wetlands. “This application should never have got past first base,” the spokesman said. “There is a lack of official recognition in the shire planning scheme of the swamp’s importance. “The fact that the land is a legacy Residential 1 zoning is ridiculous.” The site, part of the Gippsland Bioregion and containing threatened plains grasslands, was not safe and other current swamp infill development was unaffected by the VCAT decision, the spokesman said. SPIFFA has consistently warned about the lack of protection of the Tootgarook Wetlands. “It is a wetland of international significance and a potential jewel in the shire’s environmental crown at the southern end of the peninsula.” The shire had failed to review poor zoning decisions, some of which were made by the former Shire of Flinders, and to convene a catchment consultation group. “The shire seems to see its role as a development facilitator, choosing to ignore up-to-date ecological in-

formation that might work against ‘business as usual’ in the swamp.” It’s been treated as a flood and drainage problem only. “Even if it is mostly private land, the shire can protect it from further degradation. “If current landowners don’t like it, they can sell the land to owners who appreciate what it is. “This tiny, emblematic island in an amazing swamp needs immediate rezoning and compulsorily acquisition by the shire and incor-

Wealth link to happiness MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is screening a documentary that blames globalisation for many of the world’s social ills. Backed by the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC), The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving in two opposing directions. While government and big business promote globalisation and the consolidation of corporate power, people around the world are demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance. “Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localisation,” says a website of the film’s three directors, Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick and John Page. “The good news is that as we move in this direction we will begin not only to heal the earth but also to restore our own sense of well-being.” The ISEC is described as a non-profit organisation dedicated to the revitalisation of cultural and biological diversity, and the strengthening of local communities and economies worldwide. Jenny Macaffer of the shire’s social planning

and community development department said the film “challenges us to restore our faith in humanity, and to believe that it is possible to build a better world”. “Economic globalisation has led to a massive expansion in the scale and power of big business and banking. “It has also worsened nearly every problem we face: fundamentalism and ethnic conflict; climate chaos and species extinction; financial instability and unemployment.” Ms Macaffer said people’s lives were becoming increasingly stressful, with less time for friends and family and mounting pressures at work. The film portrayed “a chorus of voices from six continents, who speak about how climate change and peak oil give us little choice: we need to localise, to bring the economy home”. The Economics of Happiness is being shown during Anti-Poverty Week, at 6.30pm on Tuesday 18 October at the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices, Queen St, Mornington. Entry is by gold coin donation.

The Department of Environment probe will determine if the matter triggers the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The planning application for the 36 units at 9 St Elmos Close has not yet been considered by the council.

OPINION

Vote 1 Emu to put a bird brain on the council THE Emu is taking this opportunity to announce he will be a candidate at next year’s council election. He has not yet decided where to stand, but that is a secondary matter – what he will stand for is the traditional openness and transparency in local government, and for doing what he is told by Mrs Emu. He has come up with a catchy election slogan: “Why Not Elect an Emu – You’ve Voted for Plenty of Turkeys.” He hastens to add this applies to voting at state and federal level, or possibly for club committees, but not at council level. He has not decided which area to stand for because (1) by election time they might be called ridings, not wards, and (2) they might have different names and different boundaries because of the current review of Mornington Peninsula Shire by the Victorian Electoral Commission. Thankfully, the VEC has opted to accept the shire’s preference for 11 councillors, each representing their own patch. This suits The Emu, since, if elected, he will retire to the comfort of Emoh Ruo and trouble ratepayers and shire staff as little as possible during his four-year term. This should please all ratepayers tired of the frequent knock on the door from their present councillors. The VEC has been opting for multimember wards in councils all around the state, so it must have good reasons for retaining the status quo (The Emu speaks Latin fluently) on the peninsula. It’ll be a hard slog breaking into the ranks of councillors of such high calibre as the Peninsula XI – so esteemed by their communities that at the last

poll six were elected unopposed. The Emu’s policies will include building a pool on the foreshore at Rosebud, which is said to be part of the peninsula’s secret defensive strategy against sea level rise. The pool is to be part of a mighty wall to protect Rosebud, and especially The Emu’s palatial, low-lying hacienda from inundation. The person who has, err, leaked this strategy is impressed by the story of the little Dutch boy who stuck his finger in the dyke to stop Holland flooding. He wants to be on hand in Rosebud’s hour of need. He has the fingers for it. Another policy The Emu favours is that of “special” special meetings, from which the public is excluded, and from which never so much as a syllable of information escapes. This shire practice has spread north to the City of Melbourne, where a great deal of openness and transparency is conducted behind closed doors. A former Melbourne mayor was peevish enough to observe: “You get the distinct impression the real business is done behind closed doors.” For heaven’s sake! What’s his problem with municipal efficiency? As Melbourne City councillor Carl “Jet Set” Jetter so aptly retorted: “It’s not for the public or ratepayers to know” what council is up to. Surely, it is enough for ratepayers to vote for candidates such as “Jet Set”, for whom openness and transparency are sacred and to whom they entrust the task of making the right decisions before relapsing into their torpor. (“How fortunate for rulers that the people don’t think,” a notorious dictator said last century before launching

the Second World War.) Having shown confidence in their councillor in the ballot – where one is required – they need not then be troubled by prolix (enough Latin: Ed) reports in local newspapers of the wearying, boring minutiae and trivia of such discussions as the CEO’s salary, tip fee rises and developers’ plans for the green wedge. Yes, The Emu will make a very good councillor indeed – with the aid of Mrs Emu. Vote [1] Emu. Get a Bird Brain on to council!

Watch this Guy THE Emu’s brother-in-law, Albert, a long-time resident of Phillip Island, sent him a note via seagull regarding Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s unfortunate about-turn on the Ventnor land rezoning. “There’ll be hell to pay for this,” he fumed. “A certain person was standing by to bung houses all over that land. He has a warehouse full of cement sheet he now has to get rid of.” The Emu is suspecting his bro-in-law might have been in on this scheme, of which only the landowner and Mr Guy and the certain person were in favour. “You’ll be next,” the note went on, “all smug and superior over there on the peninsula, thinking that saying a polite ‘No, thanks’ will stop Mr Guy approving development plans. “The Minister will be looking to reassert his authority somewhere – you

wealth management home loans commercial Ànance

just see. Someone is going to get their Urban Growth Boundaries, or something else, well and truly twanged.” Albert is usually right. The Emu mentally scanned current activities for something “Go-Hard” Guy might like to call in for a personal decision. The brewery planned for Cape Schanck, perhaps? A ministerial call-in would get around the applicant’s problem of trying to grow hops on a sand dune, or depleting the groundwater to wash bottles, or having to explain to the VCAT why brewing in the green wedge is not a prohibited use. Then again, The Emu likes a drop. It’d be a pity if Go-Hard looked beyond letting Solly keep his pool.

Perfect democracy

A SUBMISSION to the VEC electoral review of the shire has fallen into The Emu’s hands. It reads: “Dear Victorian Electoral Commission: Please do not interfere with our Perfect Democracy without first consulting Council’s Administration as we the ratepayers are very happy doing all the paying, at whatever rate the said Administration deems necessary and without any messy consultation, in accordance with the Peninsula Way. “We do, however, seek a small change: creation of a new Riding named Manor, for any current or aspiring councillor who would like to be Lord of it. “The boundaries should include all Rosebud traders; all Rosebud foreshore campers; and all green wedge farmers and primary producers in receipt of the shire’s 70 per cent rate reduction, which is happily subsidised

by the peninsula’s working Mums and Dads, as well as retirees, pensioners and assorted other shire poor. “This creative and successful voting bloc of expert lobbyists is doing all the saying and not much of the paying, and we ask the VEC to put them all in the one place, however difficult it might be to draw the new riding’s boundaries.” Mrs Emu was outraged. “This is an absurd suggestion! What are its proponents thinking?” she asked. “We need creative and successful voting blocs across the shire, reducing rates for all the important folk. Including us!” She glared at The Emu. “Why aren’t you out there, getting our rates down? They’re up more than 10 per cent in 10 years, and you just sit there on your enormous drumsticks, doing nothing but complaining about it.” The Emu creatively left the room before the tirade could warm up.

Pothole appreciated THE long-striding Emu (licence still suspended) is thinking of starting a Pothole Appreciation Society, having become something of an expert on the state of our roads as he perambulates the length and breadth of the peninsula. He is fascinated with potholes that appear overnight like mushrooms and are then repaired only to reappear just days later. Are they filling the holes with black talcum powder perhaps?

Travel pays off for tourism By Keith Platt HISTORY books have shown there has always been a link between trade and travel. Archaeologists dig up artefacts that were clearly made somewhere else, proving some form of handover, usually trading one item for another. Arthur Ross has been on 25 overseas trade missions in the past six years, but bringing home the goods for him is seeing increasing numbers of international visitors on the Mornington Peninsula. He is a dealer in destinations. Ross runs Ashcombe Maze & Lavender Gardens at Shoreham, one of seven tourism operators being marketed under the Explore Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula banner. The Explore group is a cooperative, or bundle, of attractions that pays for Ross’s trade missions to persuade Asian-based travel agents to include the peninsula on their clients’ travel itineraries. “We’ve spent six years trying to get on agents’ itineraries. When we started, 100 per cent of them didn’t know the peninsula existed,” Ross says. “From their point of view the peninsula is a second or third tier destination. “The Asian market is all about relationship building; it’s very different to Europe. “On my latest mission in July I’d met about half of the agents before and about 90 per cent of those are trying to get the peninsula on their itineraries. “We sell the peninsula as a mixed destination with attractions in close proximity to one another.” While the mix of peninsula operators in the Explore group has changed since it began, it now includes a range of attractions that can be visited in one day or include an overnight stay. The Explore seven are Ashcombe Maze, Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale, Cape Schanck Lighthouse, Peninsula Hot Springs near Rye, Box Stallion Winery in Merricks North, Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm in Main Ridge and Rye Bistro & Café. Ross calls the group Mark III, reflecting the change in membership. An earlier member dropped out during one of his missions, creating problems with travel agents he had already approached and spurring him to extend his own business by planting fields of lavender, a flower sought out by many Asians, and one that does not grow in humid climates. He is yet to recover the loss of tour groups from Taiwan, which, since that particular trade mission, head for the Yarra Valley.

The impetus behind the Explore group was to provide day trips for international visitors to Melbourne, hitching a ride with the marketing pitch already being made by national and state tourism associations. These government-funded tourism authorities, in Victoria and outside of Melbourne, promote the Great Ocean Rd, Phillip Island and Sovereign Hill. The Explore group exploits this by stressing the nearness of the peninsula to the city and how it can be easily be added to day or overnight trips by using the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry or making a relatively small diversion when driving to Phillip Island. “The locals probably know we’re here but international tourists haven’t a clue,” Ross says. “And people won’t come out of Melbourne to visit just one attraction.” The marketing approach evolved by the Explore group has been picked up by Tourism Australia as an example of how businesses in regional areas can be bundled and sold as a destination of choice. Ross: “The peninsula hasn’t got a Sovereign Hill like Ballarat or a Puffing Billy in the Dandenongs. We had the chairlift, which was part of Mark I, but since it stopped running that’s $60,000 to $70,000 a year not now being spent on advertising.” The group was started by Ross and chairlift owner Richard Hudson. The Explore group is in close touch with Tourism Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Tourism. When overseas Ross is usually part of a group including representatives of government tourism authorities. His “mission” to China in June included visiting tourism agents in Shanghai and Chongqing, an inland city of 8.5 million people. “Chinese visitors are time poor, they do all the iconic things – the Great Ocean Rd, Phillip Island or Sovereign Hill – on organised tours,” he says. “The Malaysian and Singapore market is our strongest, with a big percentage being self-drivers. They are a mature market – 84 per cent are repeat visitors – and probably first came to Melbourne on a tour. “I believe the Chinese market, 15 to 20 per cent, is big on visiting friends and relatives, often to see their kids who are out here studying. “The kids then like to take them off the beaten track. “Mornington Peninsula has always been Melbourne’s playground, but slower to develop [as an overseas destination] than other Victorian markets.

MELBOURNE’S

The Sorrento Portsea Chamber of Commerce Inc. will be closing Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento between George St and Point Nepean Rd from 1pm to 12pm Friday, 14 October 2011 for a free public event.

For all your window furnishing needs

During the hours of 7pm to 11pm live music will be playing and a light projection will be displayed onto The Continental Hotel at 1-20 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento.

DVD has been created for agents and the media. Tour groups responding to the marketing usually number 20 or 30 while a few come from cruise ships. Overseas agents book flights, accommodation and some tours. A $55 attractions pass sold by the group would cost $100 or more if the attractions were paid for separately. Ross says the pass was originally launched with the domestic market in mind, but has been well received by overseas tourists. He emphasises the need for businesses wanting to attract overseas visitors to be “internationally ready”, especially with future rates. “We’re already quoting rates for 2012-13 and they’re [agents] always asking you to hold prices down. Once in you’ve got to commit to the long haul.” Ashcombe Maze has been operating for 12 years and receives about 50,000 visitors a year, 20 per cent from overseas. The numbers coming through the gate have changed little in the past decade, although an increase in products – meals, jams, honey, teas, essential oils and beauty products – has increased the yield per person. “The long-term view is to take the focus off the maze by adding more gardens,” Ross says. “Gardening is the biggest recreational activity in the world and people come here to look for ideas. “The maze is popular with businesses for team-building activities.” The biggest proportion of overseas visitors to the maze come from Singapore, followed by Malaysia, China, Europe, New Zealand and the United States. “China has the most growth potential and people from Singapore are the biggest spenders. “The high dollar could be challenging this year.” Trying to get business from dutyfree shopping tours is not that easy as the shops subsidise the shoppers’ trips and do not want to see their customers spending time elsewhere. The tour guides can also be paid to recommend where they should spend their money.

Council plans a $1m ‘gateway’ By Keith Platt PLANS are about to be exhibited for the $1 million Gateway Park at the corner of Barkly and Gordon streets, Mornington. The 3500 square metres set aside for a park in the Mornington Structure Plan were part of the former municipal depot, and development will require removal of contaminated soil. The park, complete with paths and water feature, is intended to bookend future housing developments in Gordon St between Barkly and Phillip streets. Its completely planned design and construction will contrast with its bookend partner, the more natural and undeveloped Edward Berry Reserve in Phillip St. Some consideration has been given to increasing the size of the new “urban square” park by adding five blocks of adjoining council-owned land valued at $2.635 million. However, Cr Bev Colomb said the future of the residential blocks was “nothing to do with exhibiting the proposal for Gateway Park”.

Future park: Plans for the new Gateway Park at the corner of Barkly and Gordon streets, Mornington, and the five council-owned residential blocks valued at $2.635m.

“We always wanted to think we could be flexible, but any discussion [on adding some or all of the building blocks] can be in the future,” she said. Cr Colomb said making a decision on the final plan for Gateway Park “will mean we have some certainties”. Although there are no plans to begin work before next June, the park will be made useable by cleaning up the land, removing the surrounding chain-link fence, building a gravel path and installing seating. A report to councillors by recreation and leisure manager Peter Gore and team leader Fiona Colquhoun said Gateway Park was one of seven included in the structure plan within the Eastern and Western ring roads. Developers who originally indicated they were interested in the five council-owned blocks between the two Gordon St parks “are now undertaking other residential developments nearby”, the officers’ report said. They said Gateway Park “is intended to serve the leisure needs of shoppers and nearby residents in the style of an urban square”. “The design is intended to visually blend in and complement the adjacent residential development and façade of the [Centro] shopping mall and be fully accessible.” The water feature in the park would be fed from a Melbourne Water stormwater drain at the northern and lower side of the park. The plans for Gateway Park will be on public exhibition for six weeks.

AROUND THE PENINSULA

Fireworks, smiles at radio opening By Mike Hast RADIO Port Phillip has its new station and Mornington Peninsula Shire its first major “community capital project” following the official opening of a renovated former classroom block in Mornington. About 350 invited guests packed Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Rd, adjacent to the new station, for the opening on Saturday 23 September after hundreds of residents had earlier inspected the building. RPP FM has a national broadcast standard studio complex, created from an abandoned section of the former Mornington Secondary College by a cast of thousands, including peninsula-based Rotary clubs, businesses, the shire council and professional builders leading a team of volunteers. In early 2009 the building was home to hundreds of pigeons and lay derelict and unloved after the school moved to its new site in 1999. The conversion was described as remarkable and amazing by a series of speakers at the opening night. Mayor Graham Pittock said the station was a further rejuvenation of the former school site into a “wonderful entertainment complex” that included the 450-seat Peninsula Community Theatre, formerly the old school’s Findlay Hall, and The Studio, the old library, used by performance groups. “Rotarian Dick Cox came to us a little over two years ago and presented a compelling argument about why the shire should get involved in the renovation,” Cr Pittock said He was so enthusiastic it was difficult for the shire to say no, he said. First step was to rid the building of its pigeons. “As a pest controller in my other life, the state of the building was something else.” The mayor had to crawl into dark and dirty spaces to block off bird access points. “And I had to do it for free,” the Dromana-based Guardian Pest Control owner said to laughter. Shire CEO Michael Kennedy said the council’s first major community capital project had been “mean with a quid, innovative and can-do”. (The first CCP was renovation of the shire’s four historic homes at Police

Point Shire Park in Portsea in 2009 for respite accommodation of people affected by the Black Saturday bushfires. The project was led by Habitat for Humanity and Cr Bill Goodrem.) Dr Kennedy said some councillors had strongly supported the project when it was proposed in 2009. They had challenged senior shire officers to make it happen after being told involving the community in such a massive building project would be difficult. Matters of occupational health and safety, procurement rules and insurance had been overcome by innovative thinking, he said. There had been risk in putting the project together as shire officers had to bend the rules and think outside the square. It had involved community members, community businesses and hands-on councillors. “The result is a facility with a value that far exceeds the cost,” he said. The community capital project contained the sweat of workers led by Rotarian Dick Cox and the sweat of councillors and shire officers as they had digested reports of its progress. “This is not a normal project given the legislative challenges” that had to be overcome. “There were some tricky moments; we gutsed it out when things got a bit tough” and rat cunning had been applied here and there. Project steering committee member Cr Bill Goodrem said that councillors, Dr Kennedy, shire officers, Rotary, 3RPP, businesses, organisations and community members had worked to produce “an outstanding result; simply stunning”. He said the station was a wonderful asset for the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston. Mornington MP David Morris said the project was a model that could be applied across Victoria, a collaboration between the community and local government. “It’s a great example of the community working with the council,” he said. Project manager Dick Cox, of the Rotary Club of Somerville Tyabb and a former harbour master of Western Port, said the work would not have been possible without “my core crew”. “This ship would have foundered

without my chief officer Lindsay Edwards, my two second officers Doug McDonald and Ron Scheele, bosun Peter Barker and our chippy and quality controller James Webb,” he said. Mr Cox said it had been a great experience meeting and working with so many community-minded people. “I thank the team at BlueScope Steel for a beautiful new roof, Greg Hunt for getting CSR Bradford on board with insulation and wall coverings, Brendan Hoban of Hoban-Hynes for [architectural] drawings, and our builders Rod and Marc Lawrence of Staff Building and Contracting.” Councillors and shire officers had given great support and put up with “a master mariner as project manager”. Rotary district governor Kel Hobby said the station was a significant community asset. He praised Cr Leigh Eustace, saying he had been an invaluable link between the shire and Rotary volunteers. “He was influential in convincing councillors of

Room. Station manager Brendon Telfer said it was an historic night for Radio Port Phillip. “A generation of people have given their time to this station,” he said. “It’s a humbling experience to be among the supporters of RPP FM – Rotary, shire and friends of the station.” Mr Telfer, who joined RPP from the ABC National in mid-2010, said the station would start broadcasting from the new centre at 9am on 17 October and there would be a live concert the following weekend. “We’ll look after the studios and deliver great radio as an important part of the region’s future.” A spectacular exclamation mark on the opening proceedings was a 10-minute fireworks display by Colin Quick.  The writer co-presents a show about the environment each Thursday 4-6pm on RPP FM, which broadcasts on 98.7FM to the peninsula and 98.3 to Frankston and parts of the southeast.

the merit of the development,” he said. Dick Cox had devoted an enormous amount of time and skill to the project. He had been an astute operator in convincing suppliers to donate or sell goods and services at a good rate. Mr Cox, a Paul Harris Fellow, the highest award made by Rotary, was presented with a sapphire embellishment to his Harris award. Mornington area councillor Bev Colomb thanked 2009 mayor Cr Anne Shaw, 2010 mayor David Gibb and current mayor Graham Pittock for their support, and presented Mr Cox with an official letter from the shire acknowledging his work. “There’s been a bit of an accident with the frame, but we’re pretty sure you’ll be able to fix it,” she said to laughter. Station president Graeme Kniesse and committee member and former long-time station manager Maria McColl said RPP’s board room would be named the Captain Dick Cox Board

Quirky charmer with loads of appeal

Great potential, great location

SET back a mere 350 metres (approx) from beautiful, family-friendly beaches, this architecturally designed home has a unique character that blends beautifully with the natural setting. The home offers a unique floor plan and is a little bit quirky. There are three bedrooms, two on the ground level, with the third on its own small landing accessed via a timber staircase. The master bedroom has a small dressing room and there is a well-appointed family bathroom. The kitchen captures plenty of natural light and has an atrium-style garden window. Natural materials are used throughout to create a warm, almost rustic ambience. Outside there is a large double garage, landscaped gardens with bore water and sprinkler system, fish pond and paved entertaining areas. An interesting note is the chimney constructed from reclaimed bricks believed to be from the 1880s, which makes all the features of this home wonderfully authentic and original.

A PRIME residential site ripe for re-development. Sited on a 693-square metre (approx) block, this property is centrally located within walking distance of town facilities and only 500 metres to the beach. The dwelling on the site is currently let, so the property would make for a great short-term investment while plans are drawn to develop the site further (STCA). New owners could convert the block into a two-unit site or build up, with a new two-storey home offering great views to Mount Martha. There are two bedrooms, a bathroom, separate family room at the rear of the home, and open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area.

AROUND THE PENINSULA

St Peter’s cashes up to fight backpackers plan By Mike Hast AN anonymous donor has given St Peter’s Church $10,000 toward a fund to fight a backpacker lodge with rooftop bar opposite the church in Octavia St, Mornington. St Peter’s through the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne is appealing the decision to approve the lodge, which was made by Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors on 15 August. St Peter’s hopes to raise $20,000 for the action in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. The church on Sunday also launched a petition asking the shire to reverse its decision. But the developer, Mornington lawyer Joseph Alesci, says the church is overstating the impact the lodge will have on St Peter’s, and claims the rooftop bar is set back 23 metres from the church’s courtyard and out of view of bar patrons. “It’s a storm in a teacup; they don’t know how to read our plans,” he said. Mr Alesci won approval to build a three-storey backpacker lodge for 110 people in 21 rooms. It is permitted to have 80 people in the first floor licensed area and 80 people on the rooftop bar until midnight, all entering the building from Octavia St, opposite an existing entrance to the St Peter’s complex. Last month, vicar Rev Jan St James told The News that church members were disappointed and unhappy with the decision. She said the Octavia St entrance was used by 500-600 people each week attending Sunday services, playgroup five days a week, support groups for carers of elderly frail and disabled people, exercise groups, a ballet school, music programs for preschoolers and youth, the opportunity shop, and people visiting the church office. Rev St James said the lodge would overlook the church and its courtyard, which was used as a children’s play area, a gathering place after funerals and other events, and was to have a memorial garden where the ashes of the deceased would be interred. The lodge would block sun from the courtyard from May until late August. “This is unacceptable for buildings and activities that rely on natural light for their good usage; cheerfulness

and warmth for our activities,” Rev St James said. “We are also concerned this will be a licensed venue. It will add to the already abundant outlets for alcohol in the area given the issue of overuse and anti-social use of alcohol by young people. “We already have to cope with empty and broken bottles over our fence and on the church doorstep, and cleaning up of vomit and other rubbish.” Rev St James said she had been amazed at the response from members of the community following publicity about the backpackers. “People have been stopping me to speak about their concerns when they see me in Main St, at church services and even at the dog-walking park,” she said. “There is a high level of anxiety being expressed, so the church has created a petition for community members to sign. It will be presented to the shire in November.” Rev St James said she was shocked when a person who wanted to remain anonymous had handed her a cheque for $10,000 for the VCAT fighting fund. “We had decided the parish could not afford to fight this in the tribunal as it was too expensive.

“The full cost of $20,000 is a year’s salary for our family worker and we just couldn’t justify the expense, but many people have asked how they can help the church so we have launched a petition and campaign to raise funds for a legal appeal.” Mr Alesci said his backpacker lodge plans complied with planning regulations. “Even if the church was a private residence, the plans comply with planning laws,” he said. “The church is a public assembly area, not a private house, and my land is in a business zone.” He said he had offered to sit down with Rev St James and church officials to explain the project, but had not heard from them. “They are conducting a PR campaign.” Mr Alesci said people in the rooftop bar would only be able to see the twometre high wall of the church courtyard and not into the yard. He said he was not concerned about the matter going to the VCAT. “I always apply two or three years ahead of time of when I want to build something as I know how long these planning issues take.” There was no scheduled date to start building the lodge, he said.

Seeking cash and signatures DONATIONS to “St Peter’s Octavia Street Community Fund” can be made at the parish office Monday to Friday 9.30am-1pm, or mailed to PO Box 115, Mornington. Cheques can be made payable to St Peter’s Anglican Church. Money will go into a church trust account. Copies of the petition are at the church office and St Peter’s op shop; Mornington Information Centre at 320 Main St; Ink Hair Designs at 91B Main St; and Jillia Fashion Boutique in Mt Martha. Details: St Peter’s office, 5975 0198 (9.30am-1pm Monday to Friday).

October opening for Mornington pier Partly there: Mornington MP David Morris is looking forward to the reopening of Mornington pier, although safety concerns mean the end section could remain closed for two years.

MORNINGTON pier will open to the public this month. However, the outer 70 metres will be closed for at least another two years. Closed since April 2010 to repair storm damage, the 53-metre timber centre section has been replaced by concrete supported on steel pylons at a cost of $3.65 million. Mornington MP David Morris said the more than $8 million needed to complete the pier was unlikely to make the government’s budget until 2013. Mr Morris described the repaired section of the pier as “looking fantastic” after an inspection on Monday. He said Parks Victoria had begun “preliminary planning” to repair the

rest of the pier “but there’s no money in the budget”. “When built, it will still have the ramp and be made of concrete with steel pylons,” he said. A councillor and president of the former Shire of Mornington, Mr Morris said he remembered seeing plans in 1987-88 that showed 65-70 per cent of the wooden pylons “marked red because they weren’t reaching the sea floor”. “It’s been fixed about three times since then, but it was a process of patching. “When all the work is finally done the pier will have a life of 50 years.” Mr Morris said rebuilding the middle section of the pier in such an ex-

posed location had been a “major feat of engineering and construction for Parks Victoria and its contactors with 70 steel piles replacing the degraded timber piles and a new reinforced concrete deck”. “Construction was further complicated by the need to drive the new steel piles into existing rocks beneath the pier, requiring heavy pile-driving machinery.” Mr Morris said the past 12 months have been a difficult time for construction with wild weather and storms delaying projects across the state. He said wave screens would be installed on the centre section of the pier. Keith Platt

Healthy Living

Toxins can affect your health By Lyndy Saltmarsh TOXINS can make you feel sluggish, tired, irritable and generally unwell. To find out if your health is being affected by toxins, ask these questions: Are you often tired or lethargic? Do you regularly suffer from bloating, diarrhoea, constipation or other digestive disturbances? Do you get recurrent headaches? Are you regularly suffering from muscle aches and pains? Do poor short-term memory and concentration affect your work? Do you have allergies or sensitivities? Do you suffer from depression, anxiety and/or mood swings? Staying healthy in a toxic world In our busy modern world, toxins are commonly encountered. Environmental toxins include things like heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals, food additives, drugs and pollutants, which are present in the air, water and food we consume. Toxins not only come from the external environment, but also can be generated internally by â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfriendlyâ&#x20AC;? bacteria, yeasts and parasites in the digestive systems.

The body is an amazing machine that can eliminate all these toxins through many different pathways; however, excess toxic exposure can overburden this machine.

If you are not feeling 100 per cent, a detoxification program will help to reduce this toxic load from your body and put a spring back in your step. Time for a spring clean

A natural detoxification program can be one of the most effective ways to rapidly improve the state of your health as it will help clear toxins out of the body and leave you feel-

ing healthy and energetic. Detoxification is serious business and your safety and comfort during the process is important, so the best detox is a program done under the guidance and support of a qualified healthcare practitioner. The three-step spring clean A good detox program will involve three steps. Firstly, you need to remove the â&#x20AC;&#x153;badâ&#x20AC;? bugs from your digestive system. Secondly, you need to replace these bugs with new, â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? bugs; out with the old and in with the new. Finally, you need to support and enhance liver and kidney capacity to remove waste from the body. Dietary tips During a detox, it is important to eat a healthy well-balanced diet. We can suggest the best diet for your individual requirements, to ensure you are eating the right foods for the body in order to maximise the detoxification process. There are some simple diet changes you can make today to help reduce your level of toxicity: Always look for fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables. You may be able to get some great buys at growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets or fruit shop. It is preferable to buy organic produce.

Remember to avoid packaged and processed foods as much as possible. It is important to eliminate foods containing artificial colours, flavours, additives and flavour enhancers as well as foods containing hydrogenated fats. This information is usually contained in the ingredients list on the food label. Read the ingredients list to ensure the food does not contain high amounts of saturated fat, gluten and sugar. Sugar can be in the form of glucose, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, maltodextrin, dextrose, malt syrup, molasses, maltose, lactose or honey. Fresh vegetable juice makes a great addition to a healthy diet. Try juicing carrots, apples, ginger, fresh beetroot, celery and lemons. Visit our centre to find out about a safe, gentle and effective detox program that will help clear your body of accumulated toxins. The natural supplements used in our program are designed to support your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detoxification and repair systems to function efficiently, without causing undesirable side effects.

Curves waives fee for breast cancer month CURVES on the Bay in Rosebud has pledged its support to the Cancer Council to raise funds for vital research and support programs. Curves will help raise money for the not-forprofit organisation through a series of events and initiatives during October. Clubs at Curves will promote the benefits of prevention and early detection activities such as regular exercise, being breast aware and having a mammogram every two years for women aged 50-69. The women’s-only fitness centre, on 875 Pt Nepean Rd, will waive its service fee for new members during October in return for a donation to Cancer Council Australia or another breast cancer organisation. Money raised will go to breast cancer research, education and support services. For example, funds provide information booklets for breast cancer patients, along with training and resources for breast cancer support groups, and contribute to clinical trials that test new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Curves manager Glenda Henson said fundraising for breast cancer charities is something that unites the Curves community globally. “We’re delighted to be able to support the Cancer Council. Its goals of supporting and strengthening women match Curves’ core values extremely well,” she said. Curves Australia has been fundraising in Australia for breast cancer charities for the past five years and has collected more than $1 million. “With one in nine women at risk of

developing breast cancer by the age of 85, Curves and its members cannot afford to ignore such a pertinent health matter,” Ms Henson said. “We are committed to not only support research through funding, but also to increase awareness by encouraging our new and existing members to be breast aware and to lower their risk through exercise.” About Curves CURVES is designed for women and features a complete 30-minute cardio and strength-training program proven to be clinically effective and having a positive effect on body composition, metabolism, and resting heart rate. Curves appeals to women of all ages who want a fitness routine that differs from typical gyms, struggle with their weight and fitness, find attending traditional gyms intimidating or, due to cultural beliefs, find exercising in a mixed environment impossible. Founders Gary and Diane Heavin are considered the innovators of the express fitness phenomenon that has made exercise available to millions of women globally, many of whom are in the gym for the first time. With thousands of locations worldwide, Curves is the world’s largest fitness franchise. Many clubs now also offer new Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness, the only 30-minute class that mixes the moves of Zumba with the proven strength training of Curves for an effective workout.

How to cope with hayfever and sinus congestion By Karen Jackson, ND, naturopath and classical homoeopathic MANY people suffer in silence from allergies. Common symptoms include sneezing, sinus congestion, itchy eyes, persistent cough, wheezing, asthma, headaches and skin disorders such as eczema. A naturopath will not only assist you with symptom relief for your allergies but also address the underlying causes such as immune imbalances or nutrition deficiencies to provide long-term relief. Common causes of allergies include reacting to certain foods, food additives and pesticides, grasses and pollens, dust mites, and chemicals in personal products and cleaning items. The following may help the management of symptoms: Perilla – helps reduce allergic symptoms, especially in the upper respiratory tract. Atrachyldes – beneficial for hayfever, nasal congestion asthma and dermatitis. Albizia – helpful for hayfever, asthma, sinus congestion and allergic skin disorders. Quercetion – a bioflavonoid vitamin used for

acute or chronic conditions of hayfever or hives. Probiotics – there are many different strains; the most useful for allergies is Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Zinc – plays a vital role in regulating the immune system and can be a common deficiency. Vitamin C – boosts the immune system and improves lung function and decreases allergy symptoms. Essential oils – anti-microbial oils, eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender and thyme used in a sinus spray can provide relief from nasal congestion. To help balance the immune system and relieve allergies, the following may be helpful: Avoid foods that are known allergens. Increase fruit and vegetables intake, particularly those with bright colours, berries and capsicum, as they contain high levels of antioxidants and nutrients. Avoid processed and refined foods that may contain preservatives and additives. Drink at least 1-2 litres of filtered water per day to keep the body hydrated. Consider a natural supplement for allergy relief.

WITH about 275 people diagnosed with diabetes every day – more than melanoma, leukaemia, breast, lung, colon and prostate cancers combined – nearly 4000 Australians will suffer a diabetes-related foot or lower limb injury this year alone. “Type 2 diabetes is preventable,” says Andrew Cook, the director at Peninsula Foot Clinic, “but for those who have to manage with this illness daily, getting the right information is vital to a long, healthy and fulfilling life.” A condition where the levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high because the body is unable to process it properly, type 2 diabetes is commonly associated with poor lifestyle choices: poor diet, smoking and inactivity. Once diagnosed, sufferers must take daily medication for the rest of their lives to manage

the condition. However, with studies showing that regular exercise is beneficial to diabetes management, more people are pounding the pavement to better health. “Many sufferers don’t realise they may lose feeling in their feet, so when they’re jogging or running, they could be slowly rubbing their feet raw,” he said. “This is why it is essential to have regular appointments with a podiatrist to prevent sores, ulcers and, in some extreme cases, amputation” Established in 1995 and with four locations on the peninsula, the clinic’s five podiatrists work closely with a patient’s GP to provide the best advice to maintain healthy feet including children’s and sports podiatry, orthotic therapy and general foot care.

Tackling excessive sweating or blushing EXCESSIVE sweating and blushing are socially embarrassing conditions that can reduce quality of life. Until recently no cure was available, but surgeons have discovered a surgical procedure that can cure these conditions in the majority of people with minimal pain and quick recovery. The surgery, endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), is providing people with new hope and a new life. Facial blushing (idiopathic cranio-facial erythema) FACIAL blushing is a common condition affecting many people. It is due to the overactivity of involuntary nerves that control the diameter of the blood vessels. When the nerves are overstimulated, the vessels open and colour the skin red. Excessive blushing can occur in many circumstances, including stress or embarrassment, but in many people it occurs in response to trivial event. The condition is often accompanied by other symptoms including palpitations, feelings of excessive heat and anxiety. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the face, scalp and hands Normal people sweat as a way of maintaining skin hydration and controlling body temperature. We have about five million sweat glands, many concentrated in the skin of the face, scalp and hands. Although it is not entirely understood why, some people sweat excessively due to overactive functioning of the involuntary (sympathetic) nervous system. The common places people sweat excessively are on their hands, face, scalp and armpits. ETS

is highly effective at controlling excessive sweating of these areas. Excessive sweating of armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis) THERE is a new surgical procedure for axillary hyperhidrosis. Our surgeons completed a study tour to Taiwan where axillary hyperhidrosis is common. Previously, the treatment for this condition by sympathectomy was to cut the sympathetic chain from the level of the second rib to the level of the fourth or fifth rib. Although effective, the operation often produced an unacceptable level of compensatory sweating elsewhere on the body and was used as a last resort for the most serious cases. The new technique involves selectively isolating only a small part of the sympathetic nervous system between the fourth and fifth ribs. This is done by clamping the nerve with small titanium clips, which stay in place permanently. (The clips are routinely inserted in the body in numerous different operations and have no known side-effects.) This technique has a high success rate in eliminating or greatly reducing axillary hyperhidrosis with a low incidence of severe compensatory sweating. In addition, there is some evidence that in those very few people where compensatory sweating is considered worse than the original condition, removing the clips may reverse the operation. It must be emphasised the possibility of reversal is theoretical and is not guaranteed. For more information, contact Lap Surgery on 9760 2777 or visit the website at www.lap surgeryaustralia.com

Absence makes the heart grow Fonda By Stuart McCullough ONCE they were ubiquitous as kettles and televisions. Every house on every block had a collection of workout videotapes featuring either Jane Fonda or Richard Simmons. Together, they taught us to lunge, flex and stretch as we had never done before. But if forced to choose between the two, there’s really no contest. As Hollywood royalty, Jane could easily turn a dollar doing just about anything. Indeed, anyone who has seen Monster-in-Law will agree. Richard Simmons, on the other hand, bore an eerie resemblance to Leo Sayer and often wore an expression that suggested he’d just strapped on a pair of ice-cube trousers. If it came to a contest, there’s no doubt I’d choose Jane over Richard. Exercise videos were very much a product of the 1980s. Such was the popularity of the Jane Fonda workout video in 1982 that it inspired many people to purchase their first video cassette recorder. Clearly, there was something about being able to exercise in your own home that touched a nerve, such that nearly every household had one of Jane’s tape loitering somewhere in the vicinity of the VCR. But it was one thing to buy a copy of Jane Fonda Workout; it was another thing entirely to use it. In one regard, exercise videos were much like nuclear warheads in that having them was far more important than actually using them. What Jane was probably seeking to

deter was any form of exercise other than her own. We had several of her videos, their primary job being to provide support for a set of shelves. Amazingly, Jane did not invent aerobics, although many would argue she perfected it. Rather, it was Dr Kenneth Cooper of the US Air Force. He had long been puzzled at how people with good muscular strength could still be near to useless at running. He developed a theory regarding the

use of oxygen correlating to the level of personal fitness. Part of me would like to think this information was then used to develop an elite combat unit entitled “special forces, aerobic division” in which armed troops dressed in leotards and sweatbands would take down their enemies by challenging them to a vigorous straddle down step class. That would certainly be a video worth watching. I was never in the air force, but I did

once watch an exercise video. It was like a portal to another universe; one where leotards, happiness and terrible Doogie Howser-esque keyboard music roamed the earth. More than anything there was Jane. She seemed so enthusiastic and had managed to rustle up a whole crowd of dedicated supporters whose task it was to whoop and holler as though this was the greatest experience of their lives. More than a mere master of ceremonies, Jane Fonda also sported a permanent set so spectacularly huge that, along with the Great Wall of China, it was one of only two objects that could be seen from space. My own aerobic career did not officially begin until university when I elected to attend an aerobics class. My motives, however, were far from pure. My friend Rowan and I reasoned that these classes were attended overwhelmingly by women and that any environment in which we were without competitors could only to be to our advantage. Sadly, our plans were undone by two factors. Firstly, both of us were afflicted with the kind of coordination that suggests we were unlikely to be able to feed ourselves and which prompts those not similarly cursed to look away in horror. The second thing that somewhat undermined our brilliant plan to meet people was my decision to dress exactly as Jane Fonda had done, complete with leotards, headband and stunning permanent set hair. Ourselves aside, I don’t think we said a word to anyone.

The term “exercise tape” is now wholly redundant and “aerobics” has suffered in terms of its popularity. For me, I can only say that my interest in aerobics diminished greatly after I discovered the joy that only jazzercise can bring. I don’t care much for the current crop of exercise gurus. None of them hold a candle to Jane Fonda or even Richard Simmons. This new breed of hard-core trainers may well have abdominals of steel and thigh muscles that could crack a pistachio, but not one of them could turn in a performance as emotionally nuanced as the one Jane gave in On Golden Pond. Indeed, had any of these modern beefcakes appeared in her place, it would have been an altogether different film. For the new breed, exercise is a way of life. For Jane, it seemed just one part of her life. She appeared to be more balanced. Perhaps it’s time I gave aerobics another go. Not in public, mind you, as I suspect that I am as fundamentally “unco” now as I was then. I can only wonder whether those old tapes have made the leap to DVD, perhaps even Blu-ray Disc. I hope so. What I will not do, however, is dig around and see if I can find the leotards, headband and permanent set in the lower recesses of the wardrobe. For I have learned the hard way that only Jane Fonda can be Jane Fonda. And that to try and imitate her would, indeed, be the very definition of a futile exercise. www.stuartmccullough.com

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Entertainment IN recent years there has been an increasing need in the entertainment industry to stage fundraising events for ill performers such as Marc Hunter of Dragon, Lobby Lloyd, Ted Mulry, Max Merritt and his road crew member Norm Sweeney, and Billy Thorpe of the Aztecs. There has also been an increase in incidents of self-harm and suicide as a means of escape. There are many tragic examples of this. Entertainment Assist was established as a charitable organisation to provide support and services to alleviate poverty, sickness and disability of Australian musicians, other entertainers and backstage people. Support and services to be offered by Entertainment Assist will include industry-based educational programs; industry mentoring; education and access to national support services including counselling, health and finances and financial planning; financial aid; and organising events to raise funds. The activities are designed to address obstacles faced by entertainment industry people who have become destitute or who have health problems. Entertainment Assist patrons include Jeanne Pratt, Ian “Molly” Mel-

drum, Renee Geyer, Iva Davies, John Michael Howson, Anthony Warlow, Michael Gudinski and Pete Smith. Board members include veteran promoter Dennis Smith and PR whiz Julie Cavanagh. The organisation is presenting “Gotta Have Heart 2011” at the Sofitel Hotel, 25 Collins St, Melbourne, at 7pm on Friday 28 October. Performers include Icehouse, Tracy Bartram, Paris Wells, Chelsea Gibb, Michael Paynter, Ian Bland, Cath Jamison, Burlesque Babes, Spectrum Dancers and guests from Las Vegas from the musical tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons “Oh What a Night”. Tickets and enquiries 0432 734 574, email entertainmentassist@gmail.com or online www.trybooking.com/13940 *** MORNINGTON Peninsula songwriter Joey Mac has been writing songs since her teens and decided to put voice to song and release her debut single 24 Seven. Joey picked up her musical ambitions early from her Irish parents, mother Nadia playing piano accordion and piano, “and my father playing the spoons”, she said with a laugh. Joey is a big fan of Sara Storer,

Fleetwood Mac, Carole King and Janis Ian. She has enlisted Mark Andrews to produce a video for the new single and some of it will be shot on the peninsula. Joey Mac is also a successful businesswoman and has created Australia’s No.1 horse treat, Jomax Horse Snax. www.myspace.com/joannemcdonnell www.jomax.com.au *** MT Eliza Fitness Centre is running its annual 12-hour “Rev-a-Thon” on 15 October, with all proceeds going to Mt Eliza CFA. The event has raised more than $9000 in three years. Teams of four people have to keep the pedals turning on a stationary bicycle for 12 hours, swapping about every 30 minutes. Each team aims to raise $100 or more. This year is the 75th anniversary of Mt Eliza CFA www.facebook.com/ mtelizacfa *** A CONTRACT revealing The Beatles refused to perform in front of racially segregated audiences in the United States has sold for $23,000. The contract was for a California

concert in 1965, and is signed by the band’s manager, Brian Epstein. It was sold for four times its estimated value. The Beatles had previously refused to perform at a segregated concert in Florida in 1964. “We never play to segregated audiences and we aren’t going to start now,” John Lennon said at the time. “I’d sooner lose our appearance money.” Meanwhile, author Steve Turner has written The Beatles – Stories Behind the Songs covering The Beatles’ entire recording career. From their first hit Love Me Do and first album, Please Please Me this is the story behind Beatles song, including the Live at the BBC and Anthology 1-3 albums, providing a comprehensive and entertaining insight into the music of the world’s most influential band. www.fivemile.com.au *** A GREAT night was enjoyed by about 350 people at the opening of the new RPP-FM radio studios in Mornington. Guests included veteran broadcaster Philip Brady, voiceover man Pete Smith, TV writer Mike McColl-Jones, TV magician Ian Buckland, composer-songwriter Peter Sullivan, TV historian and film editor Bob Phillips,

of community with other citizens is weakened.” Governments don’t spend enough on the arts and too much of what they do spend goes to invisible arts bureaucrats. Australian drama, music, paintings expresses our own way of life, our values. Federal Arts Minister Simon Crean said: “It is time for a new phase of policy development blah blah blah, which will bring benefits to all society and the economy.” Don’t think, Simon, do. Okey-dokey? Go see a school play. Take Julia along. *** THE Media and Entertainment Arts Alliance is polling actors about the Kath and Kim movie casting of British actor Richard E Grant. Why? To protect our actors? More likely it stems from a few Sydney w*nking actors thinking of themselves as always. We’ve come a long way in recent years on the world stage so there’s no need to show ourselves up as small-minded. Sydney actors are professional strutters and only call for loyalty when they are threatened. My personal view is that most actors attend these protest rallies to be seen. *** A FRIEND living on the barren cul-

tureless Gold Coast emailed inquiring as to my influence in accessing grand final tickets. No go mate; influence zero. He later called on an old friend associated with the Collingwood Football Club (no names) and got his ticket for $300. It reminded me of the difference between last year’s first grand final and the second. As somebody put it: the theatregoer’s grand final. It puts the AFL’s hot air moral outpourings during the year into perspective. *** I TUNED in to A Current Affair and nothing had changed in the political sense. They were on about electricity prices, the cost of housing and how the state government should be doing something about it just as they did when Brumby haunted us. Liberal Party commercials ask Julia where our jobs went, about the cost of carbon and the boat people. What gets me is the way so many people become so emotional about their political leanings. When will they wake to the fact that there’s very little difference, thus negating the need for their heightened handicapped emotional state? I’ve lived through so many governments, state and federal. Have an opin-

ion yes, but try not to waste your time on either party. Perhaps it’s simply a question of waiting until you’re older and experiencing the drop of the proverbial penny? In politics stupidity is not a handicap. *** HEALTH food shops are a strange phenomenon. I call them gold mines. I’ve been inside and noticed they have a cure for all woes at twice the price. Females appear to swear by them; even some doctors add their weight. Is it a massive fraud on society? I could be wrong, but at my late age I’ll never find out. *** I WAS with Optus mobile at $30 a month until Telstra offered me the $49 iPhone at an overall increased cost of $30, so now I own this fabulous contraption at little extra cost. I get the weather without watching the news or reading the paper or looking up at the sky. I can get emails on the move, not that anyone emails me but they might. Today’s date, a currency converter, a dictionary, a translator, the time and the footy scores. I’m a technocrat. Seventh heaven? *** THE ABC has been rightly criticised

A Grain of Salt WHAT is this thing called love? What is the cause of love? There’s an intangible if ever there was one. Money and sex appeal spring to mind. Old Sophocles says it frees us of all the weight and pain of life. Surely he was joking. Taking a line through his plays, he was heavily into the weird stuff. An incurable disease or a raging lust? Both for mine. If somebody told me they loved me, problem solved, assuming we share expenses. Those who have experienced love and came out the other side know that it’s surely a form of madness. Some say there’s no exit ramp but there is: the nut house. They shoot horses don’t they? A new book entitled Honey Money: The Power of Erotic Capital urges the ladies to activate their “erotic capital”, their sex appeal. What a fine idea. It won’t help me, but it will increase my appreciation of the coffee shop experience. With my new sunglasses. *** AS Australian-born art critic Robert Hughes said: “Arts is a measure of the character of the country, an organic part of human nature, without which our natures are coarsened, impoverished and denied and our sense

Pie and sauce? Can’t wait for this one. Ahh, but there’s more. Half-hour episodes of Auction Room hosted by (yawn) William McInnes. What an original idea. As if Michael Caton isn’t enough. *** ABC TV’s At Home with Julia. Bad writing, bad acting, bad taste. Short answer: Rubbish. The milk war between Coles and Woolworths continues. Why? They may be avaricious, but they’re not stupid. Julia is hiring an image-maker to find the “real” Julia? Which of my five senses tends to diminish as I get older? My sense of decency.

Simon O’Donnell’s Sorrento fillet steak an expensive bite By Scot Palmer WHEN former St Kilda player and Test all-rounder Simon O’Donnell came to lunch at Sorrento recently, he had little idea how much his meal would cost. For as he cut into his fillet steak, his wife went househunting in Sorrento, making it SOD’s most expensive ever nosh-up with his mates. It also added the handsome Channel Nine cricket host and racehorse breeder to the growing list of football and sporting identities staking a claim in what could be the AFL’s fastest growing enclave enclave. Oh, how the numbers have soared since four-time Tigers coach Tom Hafey bought in Lister Av, Sorrento; North Melbourne legend Albert Mantello developed a spot on the nearby beachfront; and tycoon Lindsay Fox moved on to a sizeable piece of coastline. They joined a number of old-time, more permanent residents in Harry Caspar and the late Max Oppy, who, like Alan Ollie, had operated pubs in the town. A couple of their drinkers at the time were Magpie “hard man” Barry “Hooker” Harrison, who put the brakes

on Ron Barassi in the 1958 grand final; teammate Mike Delanty, who remains the unofficial “mayor of Blairgowrie”, as well as Neil Mann and Allan Cooke. Since those days, when fishing was the drawcard, a new breed of former player has arrived to add greatly to the Sorrento-Rye-Blairgowrie social, party, golfing and dining scene. Often you can’t move along any of the main streets (particularly near the TABs) without brushing shoulders with football identities. You can meet Wayne Richardson, Mark Dawson, Geoff Gosper, Tony Jewell, Mark Maclure, Trent Croad, Craig Stewart, Jack Gaffney, Jim Stynes, Peter Hudson, Hassa Mann, Graeme Jenkin and Tom Meehan, the Saint best known for being on the end of an elbow in that famous Jack Dyer photograph. And if you listen to the real estate gossip, more will be on their way postsummer. Apart from this onfield fraternity, it is not unusual to see former Tigers premiership president Ian “Octa” Wilson on his daily runs, Collingwood president and Channel Nine personality Eddie McGuire taking his two boys for

a frolic at the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club, and Channel Seven boss and former Melbourne FC board member Ian Johnson enjoying a quiet session at Sunday “prayers” with Shark officials at the Sorrento RSL. Football 2011 ended officially with

Youngsters to fore as spring racing beckons IT seems as though invaders from Sydney are going to be a force in the rich three-year-old races during the spring carnival. Manawanui, who stayed at Rosehill; the Peter Snowden-trained Helmet who won at Caulfield; and the desperately unlucky Smart Missile appear superior to their Victorian rivals. The winner of five of his six races, Manawanui seems to be improving with each outing and is certainly going to make his presence felt when he steps out in the $1 million Caulfield Guineas (1600m) on 8 October. In all probability his main opposition in the Guineas will come from Helmet and Smart Missile. A dual Group 1 winner last season, Helmet proved far more tractable in the Guineas Prelude than he had been going around the right-handed way in Sydney. He scored a most authoritative win in fast time and indicted he would be even better at the longer journey. The highly rated Smart Missile was certainly not disgraced when 10th against older horses in the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes. From the outside barrier, jockey Brett Prebble elected to drop Smart Missile back to last in the initial stages. From then on he virtually had no chance of winning, but finished strongly even though he had an interrupted passage in the straight. While Smart Missile’s colours were lowered, an outstanding filly in Atlantic Jewel continued on her winning way when cruising home in the BMW Handicap (1400m). It was her third win from as many out-

ings and she looks to have a mortgage on the Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield on 12 October. In fact Atlantic Jewel was so impressive there is even talk she could be a contender in the $3 million Tatts Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on 22 October. Her trainer Mark Kavanagh won the Cox Plate three years ago with Maldivian and also has the ruling favourite Whobegotyou in his stable. Others who could reward punters over the next few weeks include Speediness, Our Affirmative, Dao Dao, Our Miss Jones, Avienus, and Shewan. Pakenham-trained Speediness has come a long way over the past 12 months and, judging by the way he hit the line when sixth in the Testa Rossa Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield last Saturday, even better thing are in store. Having his first start since a slashing second to Stradbroke Handicap winner Sincero in the Scone Guineas, Speediness settled near the rear early in the early stages, but hit the line with gusto. He looked above himself in condition and can only improve with racing. The $1 million Emirates Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on 5 November could be well within his grasp. Five-year-old Shewan is another who is getting better with experience. Placed behind Guyno in the Mornington Cup (2400m) in February, his three runs this time in have been very good. He did look unlucky when a fast-fin-

ishing second in the Perri Cutten Plate (2000m) at Caulfield last Saturday. Kiwi mare Our Affirmative ran into plenty of trouble before finishing eighth behind favourite Midnight Martini in Programmed Property Hcp (1800m). A lightly raced four-year-old, she was having only her second run from a spell and will be seen to advantage over longer distances. Cranbourne trainer Michael Kent may have unearthed another promising stayer in Our Miss Jones. A daughter of New Zealander Darci Brahma, Our Miss Jones again finished her race off strongly when runner-up behind Atlantic Jewel over 1400m and at this stage is a legitimate chance in the Crown Oaks (2500m) at Flemington on 3 November. Hong Kong five-year-old Mighty High will derive a lot of benefit from

his third behind Extra Zero over 1700 metres at Caulfield. Carrying 61.5kg, the John Mooretrained gelding encountered traffic at a critical stage and was doing his best work over the final 200 metres. The Caulfield Cup is his main goal. Classy miler Dao Dao lost his way last season but his eighth in the Rupert Clarke was full of merit as he was trapped wide on a day where the inside was the place to be. On track to avenge his narrow defeat in last year’s Emirates Stakes at Flemington. Former Macau galloper Luen Yat Forever also caught the eye in the Rupert Clarke when a fast-finishing fifth and is sure to be very hard to beat in the Toorak Handicap at Caulfield on 15 October. Cranbourne mare Avienus has had nothing go her way since finishing

sixth in last year’s Cox Plate, but her second at Caulfield behind the males was most encouraging. Horse-to-follow Cross Of Gold pulled up a little sore when fifth in the Guineas Prelude and is well worth another chance. Darley-owned Euryale is one who could surprise at odds at her next start. After racing in the slowest part of the track when resuming at Moonee Valley, the Lonhro filly ran into a traffic jam when sixth (40/1) behind Atlantic Jewel at Caulfield. Another racing in the colours of Sheikh Mohammed, Yavanna was most impressive winning a restricted event at Sandown Lakeside and could easily graduate into stakes grade. Others who came under notice at Lakeside were Miss Zoom, Belgietto and Testas Double. Best: Speediness.
