GIFT GUIDE 2011

Away in a manger, no crib for His bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head, The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes, I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, And take us to heaven, to live with you there.

Charger leads to house loss Red Hill Ward’s new mayor.

Mayor Martin FRANK Martin is the new mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire, elected in a close vote over Cr Leigh Eustace on Monday night. Cr Martin, 67, who lives at Arthurs Seat, said he would work hard to protect the green wedges – “our lungs” – as well as the unique character of peninsula townships. He would lobby for completion of the bay trial, improved sports pavilions, the shire’s bicycle strategy and “go on the front foot as the Port of Hastings and Peninsula Link freeway” projects came to fruition. Married to Di and with five adult children, the building designer has set his business aside for the mayoral year.

Santaand his friends

are coming to Hastings!

By Mike Hast GINA Mathers of Tyabb has put aside her devastation at losing the family home to fire to warn people about its cause – a mobile phone charger. Gina and her husband Mal, members of Peninsula Aero Club, were at a club function on Sunday 13 November when a friend and fellow member, John Scorse, rushed up to them soon after he had landed from a joy flight. “We’ve just flown over your house and it’s on fire,” Mr Scorse told the disbelieving couple. They jumped into their car and drove up Stuart Rd, which is beside Tyabb airfield, to find they were following fire trucks. When they entered their twohectare property, the house was well ablaze, flames bursting through the roof. Mr Mathers, who was a member of Tyabb CFA for about 12 years and operates a trucking business, was able to liberate the family’s small dogs locked in the laundry. He and a friend also removed outdoor furniture from harm’s way. “Our house burnt to the ground in about 20 minutes,” Mrs Mathers said. “It was devastating to watch.” Fire investigators later told the couple the fire had been started by a mobile phone charger that was switched on. “So many people do that,” Mrs Mathers said, “it’s a warning to turn appliances off at the wall.” She has warned her colleagues at Western Port Secondary College where she works in the office. About 40 firefighters and six

pumper trucks from Tyabb, Hastings, Somerville and Moorooduc attended the blaze, the first truck arriving just five minutes after the alarm was raised, but were unable to save the house. Mrs Mathers said the entire roof caved in and the only things left standing were the external brick walls and some internal woodwork. The fire was partly fuelled by a bottled gas line. The couple was among members of Peninsula Aero Club taking part in FunFlight, a not-for-profit volunteer organisation that offers children and teenagers touched by a life-changing illness or other adversity a day of joy flights and other entertainment. About 1200 youngsters were taken on flights from 15 airfields around Australia. A week after the blaze, on a wet Saturday, about 30 friends and family members helped the Mathers clean up. Mrs Mathers’ friend Jenny Bolt said what was left of the house now stood clean and empty. “It looks more like a house rebuild than the burnt-out shell of a week earlier,” she said. “Mal, Gina and their two daughters, Crystal and Stacey, have handled with grace and stoicism the devastation of losing all their belongings and history. They have all supported each other through this trying time.” Mrs Mathers said: “We are overwhelmed with the generous support given to us by friends and family in the aftermath of our ordeal.” The family had lived in the house for 11 years and in Tyabb for 16 years.

‘Separate train, road at Tyabb’ By Mike Hast THE train line and road at Tyabb should be grade separated, says the mother of the woman killed at the level crossing in early 2008. Gwen Bates returned to Australia from the United Kingdom two weeks ago for legal proceedings associated with proposed 10-day inquest in May next year into her daughter Kay Stanley’s death on the Australia Day holiday on 28 January 2008. Ms Stanley, a teacher at Tyabb Preschool, was travelling from her home in Mornington to prepare for the new school year when her VW Beetle was struck by the Stony Point train. Police said Ms Stanley went through flashing red lights on Mornington-Tyabb Rd and was struck by the Frankstonbound, two-carriage country train then operated by Connex. The impact pushed her vehicle almost 200 metres and crushed it against the Tyabb station platform. Mrs Bates has campaigned tirelessly since the tragic day to clear her daughter’s name as well as lobby government to install safer crossings on the Stony Point line. In late 2008, then Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky announced upgrades to the five remaining unprotected level crossings on the Stony Point line. The last two, at Bittern and Crib Point, were installed late last year. Mrs Bates said the installation of boom gates at Tyabb started one day after her daughter was killed. Ms Stanley, 32, was 10 weeks pregnant and due to marry her fiancĂŠ Brett Vogel, also of Mornington, in March. She flew to Australia to attend her daughter’s funeral instead of her wedding.

Late last week she told The News the level crossing should be removed and replaced with a bridge. “Plans to expand the Port of Hastings, which include Tyabb with its port use land, mean the crossing should be modernised,� she said. “The grade separation should also be part of the Tyabb township plan released by the shire recently. The rail line and road should be separated before Tyabb grows any bigger.� Mrs Bates said she had contacted Mornington Peninsula Shire’s planning department to ask if the Tyabb plan included a “safety interface agreement� – how to manage the safety of crossings by involving all government department and transport authorities – but received an unsatisfactory reply. “One planner I spoke to didn’t even know what it was,� she said. Mrs Bates and her legal team have been successful in obtaining documents about the accident in 2008 under Freedom of Information. She said they would form part of her evidence at the inquest. Ms Stanley’s death came five months after the death of Somerville truck driver Geoff Young in August 2007 at the Bungower Rd level crossing just 2.5 kilometres further north. Last May, Mrs Bates obtained an order to exhume her daughter’s body from Flinders cemetery and took her back to Yorkshire, where Ms Stanley was laid to rest in a woodland cemetery in south Yorkshire, not far from where she grew up. Mrs Bates will return to Australia in May for the inquest.

Killer crossing: Right, Gwen Bates is calling for the Tyabb level crossing to be replaced by a bridge before the town grows and the Port of Hastings is expanded. Top, her daughter Kay Stanley was killed when the Stony Point train and her VW Beetle collided at the crossing in January 2008. The train pushed the car 200 metres and under the platform.

Good Shepherd’s media and marketing coordinator David Sutherland said the community garden would be “a resource for the Hastings community�. “Apart from the obvious environmental outcomes, the garden will help locals to make social connections with others, improve their physical and

mental health and also help reduce food costs for individuals and families. “It will also help introduce people from Hastings to the other essential services – from child care through to adult education – provided through the community centre. “It will be a wonderful new focal point for the local community, which has seen some difficult times recently.�

Jetty to cost $1-1.5m By Mike Hast THE state government will spend between $11.5 million to rebuild the Hastings jetty and add a 36-metre long floating pontoon with access gangway. Tenders for the work close on 14 December, work is expected to start in the new year and be completed mid-2012. The decision ends an almost four-year battle to save the timber part of the jetty, a version of which has existed since 1865 when Hastings was a fishing village. Plans by the previous government, led by Labor Premier John Brumby, to demolish the wooden section in 2008 and replace it with a concrete pontoon galvanised residents and “friends” of the jetty, and led to hundreds of letters of protest, a petition and a rally last October prior to the state election. Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess, re-elected last November, said he had lobbied hard after the Liberal-Nationals Coalition won office to get extra money for the rebuild. In 2008 Parks Victoria said it had about $300,000 from Marine Safety Victoria and “a further sum”, believed to be about $270,000, from Parks’ budget for the demolition and concrete pontoon. The jetty was supposed to be opened by the end of 2008. Next year, the demolition of the condemned slipway on the northern part of the jetty’s ‘T’ and rebuilding of the wooden end of the jetty and the southern part of the ‘T’ will cost about $1 million. The low landing on the southern end also will be removed. The floating pontoon and gangway will be parallel to the southern ‘T’. It will be similar to pontoons at San Remo and Warneet South jetties, all designed to make accessing jetties easier and safer in Western Port’s three-metre tide. Other features will include handrails, lights,

seats and fishing rod holders. The Parks Victoria tender, issued on 23 November, states the work will include 44 treated hardwood timber piles, crossheads, beams and decking, the 36-metre floating pontoon and its 21-metre gangway. The jetty refurbishment and pontoon with its gangway will be separate tenders. Work will be done from the water as the existing concrete section is not suitable for heavy loads, Parks said. The News understands five or six companies will likely tender for the project, including at least one from interstate. The project will be funded by Parks Victoria, the Department of Transport’s ‘Boating Safety

Facilities’ and ‘Local Ports Risk’ programs, and Department of Primary Industries’ recreational fishing grants program. During construction, people will be able to use the inner concrete section and the Hayman Pacific marina arm, which is halfway along the jetty on the southern side, and is leased to boat owners. Ports Minister Denis Napthine said the heritage-listed fisherman’s shed at the start of the jetty would be refurbished and leased to a private operator with “its traditional use as a fresh fish outlet being given preference”.  In recent years, Parks Victoria has spent $3.65 million on Mornington pier, $3.5 million at Frankston, $1.45 million at Rosebud, and more than $2 million at Flinders.

Briefly Volunteers wanted THE Department of Sustainability and Environment has called for nominations for voluntary members of Merricks foreshore reserve management committee. The five-kilometre long Merricks foreshore runs between Balnarring and Pt Leo. DSE property officer Brendan Kavanagh said the committee would “play a vital role in the decision making for the foreshore”. “The foreshore has significant regional recreational, tourist and environmental values, and is highly valued by local residents and visitors alike,” Mr Kavanagh said. “Residents with an interest in conserving and managing the coast, knowledge of the local community, finance, legal or community educa-

tion skills are encouraged to apply, however, no formal skills are required.” For a nomination form and information kit, call Mr Kavanagh on 9296 4521 or email brendan.kavanagh@dse.vic.gov.au Expressions of interest close Monday 19 December.

Correction THE Western Port News front page article on 22 November, “Wipeout for workers, bonuses for bosses”, reported $3.1 million of bonuses to BlueScope executives as well as the impact of the closure of the company’s hot strip mill and a metal coating line at Hastings. Included in the article was a reference to Crib Point Engineering being under pressure. CPE managing director Ted Banks states this is

incorrect. “Nothing is further from the truth as from 1982 we have insulated ourselves from this problem and have traded globally,” Mr Banks said.

Seal showtime – look but don’t touch SEALS might look cute and furry, but they are not cuddly. However, they are protected and the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) has warned beach users to keep away as Australian fur seals begin to camp out on Mornington Peninsula beaches. One person has already been bitten by a seal while trying to put it into the sea at Somers. Seals have also been seen resting on the front beaches in McCrae, Sorrento and Rosebud. DSE senior wildlife officer Emily Gibson said it is common for yearling seals to come ashore at this time of year and rest on the beach. “Australian fur seals can weight up to 100 kilograms. They can be aggressive and can move very quickly if they feel threatened by people who get too close to them,” Ms Gibson said. “It is normal for resting or injured seals to remain on beaches for days before returning to the sea. “Seals come ashore to rest and then move on after a few days. It’s unusual for seals to bite, but this acts as a reminder that people need to be aware seals are wild animals with sharp teeth and that people should keep their distance.” Rules and regulations aim to protect both people and marine mammals and under Wildlife (Marine Mammals) Regulations 2009, people must stay at least 30 metres from a seal on land and five metres away on a structure such as a jetty or pier. Failure to observe the minimum distances as well as touching or feeding seals may result in a fine of up to $2440. “It’s also important for dog owners to keep their dogs 50 metres from a seal on land unless the dog is on a leash and it is necessary to pass the seal,” Ms Gibson said. “We want people to take care whenever they come into contact with wild animals, particularly with large and potentially aggressive creatures like Australian fur seals.” She said seals needed help only when they were suffering or had been seriously injured and were at risk of attack from dogs or disturbance. For more information or to report incidents relating to seals, call the DSE on 136186.

Take a walk on the mild side WALKERS have a new 100-kilometre challenge on the Mornington Peninsula – following a triangular route that links Rosebud, Cape Schanck and Point Nepean. The Mornington Peninsula Walk links four existing walks, taking hikers across the centre of the peninsula and along sections of the Bass Strait and Port Phillip coasts. Nepean MP Martin Dixon officially

launched the new walk saying it “offers the ultimate challenge for experienced walkers and more leisurely walks for people of all abilities”. The four existing walks incorporated into the Mornington Peninsula Walk are the Two Bays Track Walk (26km), the Coastal Walk (30km), Point Nepean Walk (10km) and the Bay Trail (34km). Mr Dixon predicted the walk would

benefit peninsula businesses. “The walk is great news for local businesses and employment, and will help put some of the peninsula’s iconic sites on the national and international tourism stage,” Mr Dixon said. A map of all the tracks and signs is now available. For further information contact Parks Victoria at parks.vic.gov.au

Model returns to style MODEL and businesswoman Megan Gale returned to Mornington on Friday for a fashion parade highlighting Isola swimwear. It was the second year running that Gale had shown the new season’s swimwear at Michelle Ann swimwear in Main St. In a news release, Gale said she had been “inspired by several things, for starters, the retro trends coming through this season and have done a beautiful vintage floral and also carried this trend through with some silhouettes like high waisted pants and corseted inspired styles”. “There has been a return of the ’50s silhouette – balconet bras and highwaisted pants, ’70s-style hipsters as well are very popular bandeau tops, which have also been around since the ’70s.”

Call for men to help end violence NEARLY eight per cent of illness among women of reproductive age stems from violence against them by their partners. Statistics gathered in Victoria show violent partners are a bigger risk to women’s health than high blood pressure, tobacco use and increased body weight. Deputy principal lawyer with Peninsula Community Legal Centre Brendan Stackpole says men can play a positive role in creating a culture “where violence, and attitudes that support the use of violence, are increasingly unacceptable”. “If I was asked to identify the single-most important factor in tackling violence against women, I would have to say that it would be the need for a change of community attitudes about family violence, and especially violence against women, because we know statistically women are more likely to be victims and that violence is more likely to occur within an intimate relationship,” Mr Stackpole said. Peninsula Community Legal Centre provides free

legal assistance for people in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsual and operates a duty lawyer service at the Frankston court for family violence matters. The legal centre was honoured to be named the 2011 Legal Organisation of the Year in the prestigious Law Institute of Victoria Legal Awards. The awards celebrate the outstanding achievements and leadership of Victorian legal practitioners and organisations. Over the past financial year the centre received 25,011 telephone inquiries and provided information and referrals to 12,574 individuals  In the past decade more than 1000 people have received free legal help at Hastings through the legal centre. The centre’s staff operate fortnightly from the Good Shepherd Youth and Family Service at 1 Church St, Hastings.

Sharing the joy of surfing By Keith Platt SURFERS have an affinity with the sea. They are not always able to adequately describe what repeatedly draws them to the water or define the exact feel of surfing a wave. But what a group of surfers on the Mornington Peninsula do know is that the joy of surfing does not have to be restricted to the able bodied. They have seen the faces of people with disabilities light up when they feel the energy of a wave lift and push a surfboard through the water. This sharing of experience has led to the formation of a peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association Australia (DSA) and a call being made for sponsors and volunteers to help run surfing events for less able people. A training day for volunteers is being held at Point Leo in February with the first day in the water for people with disabilities a month later. Secretary of the peninsula branch Ashley Gardner, an exercise physiolo-

gist and a surfer, said there were more than 100,000 peninsula residents and that one in five people suffered some form of disability. “People with all forms of disabilities will be welcome to come along and experience surfing, and we’re hoping to get the whole community involved,� Mr Gardner said. “Seeing the looks on the faces of people with disabilities in the surf takes me back to what I first felt when I took up surfing. “It’s a look of pure joy.� Mr Gardner and peninsula branch president Gary Morton, who has postgraduate qualifications for helping people with special needs, were inspired to bring disabled surfing to the peninsula after volunteering to help with a similar event at Ocean Grove recently. “I went after seeing it advertised on the internet. The Ocean Grove branch started in 2008 and has gone from strength to strength,� Mr Morton said.

The DSA itself was formed in 1986 by Gary Blaschke who was injured in a motorbike accident, but wanted to remain a surfer. The organisation now has 14 branches in five states, working to make beaches more accessible to people with a disability as well as holding regular “hands on days� in the surf. Point Leo has been chosen as the venue because it is the peninsula surf beach most suited to surfers with a disability who, for safety, are surrounded by volunteers as they get swept shorewards on a surfboard. The national DSA body has given the peninsula branch a $7000 amphibious wheelchair, four surfboards and 30 wetsuits. The wheelchair has been handed to Point Leo Foreshore Committee and Point Leo Surf Lifesaving Club for use all year by school groups, people with a disability and their carers (email pointleoforeshore@bigpond.com for bookings).

Point Leo Lifesaving Club has offered its facilities for the training day in February and the committee of the peninsula branch is seeking sponsors to help run events and get more equipment. “We’re looking at getting wetsuits for amputees that come complete with handles,� Mr Morton said. Peninsula branch chairman John Bowers said the branch “is all run by consensus�. “The people from DSA came to tell us that if we had enough keen people it would happen. “More than 40 attended a public meeting at Mornington Secondary College in early November and it’s now all happening.� Mr Bowers said they had been shown a video of a quadriplegic girl in the surf “which was just amazing and inspiring�. “We get so much satisfaction and enjoyment from the surf and there’s no reason why it can’t be shared by less

able people.� Mr Gardner said there was a ratio of six volunteers to one disabled participant at the hands-on events, sometimes with up to 30 volunteers forming a “runway� through which a surfboard could safely travel. “Waves are taken in waist-depth broken waves with a 10-foot two-inch soft board. “Our aim is to unite our community by giving people with disabilities the opportunity to have a safe surfing experience and the members of our community the opportunity to help.� Training for volunteers to help at the day will be held 9am-2pm at Point Leo on Saturday 4 February. Volunteers can bring their wetsuits and by the end of the training will receive a Level 1 DSA “TtH� certificate. For more details, potential sponsors or volunteers can visit www.disabledsurfers.org or call Ash Gardner on 0417 362 983.

A NEW automatic pneumatic tourniquet system at Frankston Hospital means that surgery can be avoided for some patients with fractures. The hospital’s emergency department bought the equipment with a $10,000 donation from Esso and BHP Billiton. The system enables manipulation of some fractures in the emergency department rather than the patient being taken into an operating theatre. “It will allow some patients who otherwise would have to be admitted and stay overnight to return home following the procedure,” emergency services operations director Shamala Jones said. “Patients with certain fractures will be treated more quickly and can return home sooner.” The hospital’s emergency department treats more than 50,000 patients a year and has bought other equipment over the past 20 years with donations from Esso and BHP Billiton, including continuous positive airways pressure systems, special blankets to warm patients in shock, resuscitation equipment, critical care drug trolleys and equipment to diagnose and treat eye injuries.

Fast-track for hospital plan By Mike Hast THE $25 million plan to expand Peninsula Private Hospital into green wedge land will be fasttracked with Frankston councillors asking the government to include the land in the urban growth boundary (UGB). The inclusion is part of Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s request to green wedge councils to identify “UGB anomalies”. Removing 525, 555 and 559 McClelland Dve, Langwarrin, from the green wedge means the hospital will not have to go through an extensive planning process that was started mid-year. In June, councillors agreed to seek the minister’s permission to prepare an amendment to the Frankston Planning Scheme to allow the expansion. The inclusion means public exhibition of the proposal, public submissions and an independent panel hearing will not occur. Submissions from councils about UGB anomalies will go to an independent advisory committee, which will report to Mr Guy next year. He is almost certain to approve the hospital land being brought into the UGB. In June, Peninsula Private Hos-

pital – owned by Australian Unity Investments through a trust called Perpetual Nominees Pty Ltd – asked the council to rezone the McClelland Dve land from Rural Conservation Zone and Road Zone Category to Special Use Zone so it could expand. Hospitals are not permitted in conservation zones. Peninsula Private is at 525 McClelland Dve, a block of 27,000 square metres, and was built in 1999. The three-stage expansion will include multi-storey buildings, multi-level car parks for 1000 vehicles, consulting rooms, medical services areas, and a four-level community health centre. Frankston Council supported a proposal to expand the hospital in 2003 prior to the expansion land being included in the state government’s green wedge zone. Australian Unity and the council had lobbied the then Labor government to include the land within the UGB. The hospital’s owners continued to work on the expansion plan and briefed the council in late 2008. A proposal to the council in August 2009 was found to be deficient, and council planners asked for more information. On Monday night, council planners also recommended councillors

include five hectares at 265 Hall Rd, Skye, in the UGB anomalies list, but this was refused. The property includes ancient river red gums and has high conservation values, says Barry Ross of Defenders of the South East Green Wedge. “It would have been terrible to allow this land to be developed; we would have stood in front of bulldozers if they’d allowed it [in the urban growth boundary],” he told The News. A report to councillors stated the UGB was introduced by the state government in 2003 as a “key initiative of the metropolitan strategy (Melbourne 2030). The purpose of the UGB is to clearly identify the boundary between land set aside for urban development and metropolitan green wedges, and to stop the incremental loss of green wedge land through rezonings, which up to that time had been decided on a site-bysite basis”. Council planners stated the council had agreed in principle to the extension of the hospital onto the southern half of the land “provided remnant indigenous vegetation is protected”. “Extending the UGB will not have any impact on controls over the removal of indigenous vegetation,” the report stated.

“Concerns have been expressed about the environmental implications of bringing the ... hospital site into the UGB in terms of the future of vegetation on the land and plans for a habitat link along the Peninsula Link corridor. “The Frankston Environmental Friends Network and the Frankston Environment Advisory Committee are opposed to any changes to the UGB. “Council’s Environment Department has also raised concerns about changes to the UGB generally, and more specifically in the area between Frankston and Langwarrin because of potential impacts on a habitat link along the Peninsula Link corridor. “It should be noted that a change to the UGB will not affect the current state and local planning controls over indigenous vegetation that apply to the Peninsula Private Hospital site.” In October, the council said it would not fine the hospital after its contractors cleared 555 McClelland Dve in the green wedge. CEO George Modrich said the council had issued a warning notice, “which states vegetation removal is not to occur without prior approval from council”.

Councillors urged to stand their ground

Showtime: Lyn Mellady is the “featured artist” at the 40th Mornington Art Show, sponsored by The News.

Artist has a preference for pastel

LYN Mellady is the feature artist at the next Mornington Art Exhibition. Born in Quirindi, NSW, Mellady trained as a primary school teacher and has also taught ballet. In 1981 she became a full-time artist and travelled around eastern Australia painting what she describes as “the untamed, but fragile beauty of our rivers , beaches and forests”. While Mellady’s preferred medium is pastel, since 1984 she has received awards for both pastel and oil. She was a finalist in the International Pastel Landscape Excellence Awards 2001 and appears in several art reference books. She has been selected for inclusion in a publication of “The World’s Best

Charcoal/Pastel Artists” and has also been listed online as one of the world’s best 13 seascape artists. Her paintings are in corporate and private collections around the world, one hangs in Parliament House in Canberra and in galleries in Victoria and NSW. Mellady is a past-president and fellow of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists, an art teacher and an art show judge. Mellady and her husband Brian own and run the Brialyn Boathouse Gallery in Frankston. Next January’s show is The News Rotary Club of Mornington Art Exhibition, recognising Mornington Peninsula News Group as a major sponsor.

Almost 1000 paintings from local, Victorian and interstate artists have been exhibited in the past four years. In 40 years Mornington Rotary has raised more than $650,000 for local, national and some international projects. The 40th Mornington Art Exhibition opens on Friday 20 January and runs until Saturday 28 January at the Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Hwy and Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Tickets are being sold outside Farrells bookstore, corner Barkly and Main streets, Mornington, for the art show raffle, which has prizes of a $6000 gourmet barbecue, a $1000 travel voucher, a painting by a local artist, and an eight-gigabyte iPod.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors are being urged to stand by their opposition to changing the system of single-councillor wards. The Victorian Electoral Commission, although initially backing the existing 11 single-councillor wards, has sought comment on a proposal to include three multi-councillor wards. However, governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck says councillors should stick by their earlier decision to retain the status quo. A report prepared by Mr Buck includes a “Ten tests of effective local government” table (devised by the shire), which showed all ticks for single-councillor wards and all crosses for multi-councillor wards. The VEC has released an addendum that proposes three councillors for a Briars Ward (Mornington, Mt Eliza and Mt Martha); three councillors for a Seawinds Ward (Safety Beach, Dromana, McCrae, Rosebud, Rosebud West, Tootgarook and parts of Arthurs Seat); and two councillors for a Collins Ward, a combination of the existing Nepean and Rye wards. Red Hill, Cerberus and Watson wards would continue to be represented by one councillor each. In a report to councillors at Monday night’s meeting (28 November), Mr Buck said it was unclear why the VEC was seeking comment on the multicouncillor wards, which it called Option B. The proposal had not been made in

any submissions or raised at public meetings. “Of concern is that the VEC requests submitters to advise the VEC particularly on Option B, as this may preclude or discourage submitters on making submissions on the other options available, and in particular the VEC’s preliminary preferred option; Option A being 11 Councillors elected from single-member wards,” Mr Buck stated. “While the VEC advises that all options are still under active consideration, the discussion paper requests submissions in relation to Option B, to the detriment of submissions on the other options.” Mr Buck urged councillors to continue their fight to retain the peninsula’s existing 11-councillor wards.

First Europeans celebrated Christmas in 1803

Smile high: Children and their teddy bears aboard a Peninsula Aero Club aircraft.

The joy of flight MORE than 100 children and teenagers took to the sky with Tyabb-based Peninsula Aero Club members on joy flights as part of the fifth annual FunFlight day. FunFlight is a national organisation bringing joy to young people coping with a serious illness or other adversity. Thirty-minute flights over the peninsula under blue sky were followed by a barbecue and

entertainment including a jumping castle and petting zoo. Three friendly clowns ensured each child received a new teddy, cap, badge and sweets. Members of Cranbourne Air Cadets escorted passengers from Heart Kids, Starlight Foundation, Camp Quality, Ronald McDonald House and Very Special Kids to and from aircraft.

By Shirley Davies of Hastings Western Port Historical Society THE first Christmas celebrated by European settlers in Victoria was at Sorrento in 1803, Keith White told members of the society. Keith was guest speaker at a society coffee morning at Hastings Museum. A member of Mornington and District Historical Society, he gave an illustrated talk about the 1803 First Settlement at Sullivan’s Bay near Sorrento. Keith said that the settlement, under the leadership of Lieutenant-Governor David Collins, was there for only a few months before settlers left “this unpromising and unproductive country� in May 1804 to go to Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania). During the time at Sullivan’s Bay, they celebrated Christmas 1803, making it the first European Christmas celebrated in what is now Victoria. Using recorded accounts, Keith drew a picture of the settlement through the eyes of Collins, government officials, convicts, a chaplain and soldiers. It was from this settlement that convict William Buckley escaped to reappear 33 years later and rejoin European society after living with the

Wathaurung tribe on the Bellarine Peninsula. Keith donated a copy of the DVD about the First Settlement as one of the raffle prizes. Copies of the DVD are for sale at the First Settlement Visitors Centre and the Nepean Museum at Sorrento. Museum open day An open day at Hastings Museum last month, one of the activities celebrating the 150th year since the township was gazette, was successful. There was free entry to the museum precinct. Visitors came throughout the day to see the latest exhibitions as well

as the drawings of the primary school pupils featuring fishing boats and each child’s design of a flag for Hastings. The artwork is on display at the museum until Australia Day. The open day also featured an “old time� Devonshire tea served in the cottage by volunteers dressed in 19th century fashions. Visitors to the precinct saw beautiful yellow roses blooming in the garden of Harry’s House and the gardens of the Pioneer Cottage, which include the Fairy Garden and the Remembrance Garden of Peace. The gardens are maintained by the volunteer members of the society under the direction of Edwin Mawson and Ken Stockton. The museum is open every Sunday from 2-4pm and on Wednesdays 10am-2pm. Entry is by gold coin donation. Garden pots One of the projects of the society is to grow cottage plants from the museum gardens that can be sold at bargain prices during special days. If anyone has empty garden pots, they can be left at the museum with caretaker Dorothy Field, phone 5979 1953. The next major event at the museum is Australia Day, 26 January.

AROUND THE PENINSULA Night of carols:

The Churches on the Hill are holding their annual Carols on the Hill on Saturday 10 December at Red Hill Recreation Reserve. It starts with a sausage sizzle and coffee from 5pm. The event has become a regular family Christmas destination with carols led by the Sanctuary Salvos Praise and Worship Band from Mornington and the Red Hill Consolidated School Band. There is also a family Christmas pageant where children dress up for the biblical nativity scene (costumes are provided). Children can also pat donkeys, sheep and alpacas. People attending can take a rug or seat and a picnic tea. For more information, call 5976 5469.

Business lunch help for street kids A BUSINESS lunch at Mornington last week raised $24,000, which will be used to provide help for young people. The help comes from an outreach worker in Frankston provided by the Peninsula Community Ownership Foundation (PenCOF). The foundation says the success last year of its first outreach worker had made it obvious there was a need for another. “When you read the frightening statistics of what is happening to our young people, waiting for someone else to do something no longer becomes an option if you believe that young people are our future,” the PenCOF business lunch director Donna Rooks said. The money raised at the lunch at Mornington Racecourse on 25 November included $2000 paid by John Truscott for a jumper signed by former

AFL footballer Wayne Carey. Ms Rooks said the outreach worker was hired by PenCOF) through Open Family Australia “which has a team of very experienced youth outreach workers dealing with such young people every day”. “He was very quickly accepted into the local scene and is working with an increasing number of kids,” Ms Rooks said. “He has established a sound client base in the area with a large ongoing case load of young people and numerous casual contacts. He has had a very positive impact. “Now, we must keep going. “Not only do we need funding to maintain the current position, but also the challenge is to provide a second outreach worker.” To contact PenCOF write to PO Box 11139, Frankston, or call Ms Rooks on 0411 429 681.

Wayne’s shirt: There was no shortage of interest in footballer Wayne Carey’s jumper, which sold for $2000 at the PenCOFF lunch.

Call to buy rare Mt Eliza bushland By Mike Hast A CHOICE piece of Mt Eliza bushland is on the market and conservationists are calling on the state government and Mornington Peninsula Shire to consider buying it. The 40-hectare (100-acre) block at 185 Wooralla Dve is across the heritage railway line from Emil Madsen Reserve and is part of the so-called Mt Eliza Escarpment. It is owned by a consortium associated with Mt Eliza football and cricket clubs, which bought it for about $1.5 million in 2004. The News believes the asking price is $2.2 million. Mt Eliza Ward councillor Leigh Eustace is among those calling for it to be saved from possible development. “It is a significant patch of bush near an area significant development. The land contains endangered ecological vegetation classes,” he said. The block had been incorrectly listed with estate agents as “residential with unlimited potential”, but was in the green wedge zoned, Cr Eustace said. “It could be added to nearby Mt Eliza Regional Park.” Ecological consultants Nic McCaffrey and Jeff Yugovic reported in 2010 that the area “significant topographic, fauna and flora values, according to the National Trust” Most of the natural woodland and forest of the zone had been replaced by housing development over the past 20 years, they said. The block supported a significant area of grassy woodland, an ecosystem listed by the state government as endangered in the Gippsland Plain Bioregion, which includes Mt Eliza and the Mornington Peninsula. “Also present was swampy riparian woodland, swamp scrub and gully woodland, all listed as endangered in the bioregion. “Protection of this remnant vegetation is consistent with the aims of the Western Port Biosphere Reserve. This is a significant part of the peninsula’s and Melbourne’s natural heritage. “Due to the size, quality of habitat and significant links to Mt Eliza Regional Park, the site has the potential for numerous fauna species including the rare or threatened long-nosed bandicoot, southern brown bandicoot, greycrowned babbler, southern toadlet, growling grass frog and others.”

AROUND THE PENINSULA

$28m aged care centre By Mike Hast THE most modern aged care centre in the state is planned for Andrew Kerr Frail & Aged Care Complex on the corner of Barkly St and Tanti Ave in Mornington. Plans for the $28 million project were submitted to Mornington Peninsula Shire about three weeks ago. The most controversial aspect of the plan is the proposed demolition of the 1875 Italianate mansion “Glenbank”, built for Presbyterian Church minister James A Caldwell. Reverend Caldwell’s three sons were among the 15 members of the Mornington football team that perished when a yacht bringing them from Mordialloc struck Pelican Reef off Mt Eliza and went down with all hands in 1892. Glenbank was bought in 1917 by Mrs Andrew Kerr, Mrs Kathleen Parker and Mr Critchley Parker as a donation to the Church of England as a memorial to Mrs Kerr’s son, Sergeant Andrew Kerr, who was killed in action in France in during the First World War. Andrew Kerr Memorial Home for Children opened in 1922 and operated until 1976. In 1980 it was bought by the Mornington Bush Nursing Hospital, now The Bays Hospital, for $327,000 and converted into a centre for aged care. The complex became a separate entity in 1986. It is administered by a volunteer board of local people. Andrew Kerr board chairman Lew Robbins told The News the entire complex of singlestorey units and Glenbank would be demolished and be replaced by three two-storey buildings of “independent living units” for both low- and high-care elderly people. He said it would be a complex project as people would remain in their existing homes while the new complex was built.

Coming down?: The 1875 mansion “Glenbank” could be demolished to make way for a $28 million aged care centre. Some of the existing units had shared bathrooms and people now wanted ensuite facilities. There was no lifting equipment for highdependency people. Some units were empty, but there was a waiting list of 70. “We need to redevelop the entire site to address failing infrastructure and the need for more appropriate accommodation and facilities for the residents and local community.” The new complex would address the federal government’s “ageing in place” philosophy for older people, he said. “Glenbank has been renovated and changed many times over the years, and there is little remaining of the original features except the outside,” he said. The building was affected by rising damp, wallpaper was peeling and sections with lower ceilings had been added, he said.

The mansion was now used just three days a week for respite care. It also had offices. Glenbank was under-utilised as it was unsuitable for modern living, he said. Mr Robbins said the board expected some opposition from heritage groups, but it had contacted Mornington Environment Association, historical societies and the peninsula branch of the National Trust. The board had also letterboxed residents in Barkly St and Tanti Ave, and held two meetings with residents. Plans for the development had been five years in the making. Mr Robbins said the board’s building committee had received feedback from shire planners and would next week meet with Andrew Kerr’s architects and planning consultants to refine the proposal.

Frankston’s storey story PLANS for what will be Frankston’s tallest building have been given the go ahead. Work on the $65 million, 14-storey Airio Apartments building in Davey St will start in mid-2012, according to developer Ross Voci. Other developers and real estate agents have stated that Frankston needs a major development as a catalyst for other projects waiting on the drawing boards. Approval for the project at 10-12 Davey St follows the announcement of new office space being constructed in the city centre for the first time in 23 years. Council in September approved three levels being added to the five-storey Commonwealth Bank building in Wells St. Mr Voci said the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) rejection of an objection to the project had an added bonus of allowing him to increase the number of apartments from 89 to 97. He said the objector, neurologist Dr Russell Rollinson, “did the project a huge favour”. “We are absolutely ecstatic with the outcome,” Mr Voci told The News. The VCAT ruling had also “eliminated the need to pay the penalty $20,000 per car space imposed on the project for lack of the 17 visitor car spaces – a saving of $340,000”. “All I can say to Russell is ‘thank you for all your help in making the project more profitable and viable than had we not proceeded to VCAT’.” For his part, Dr Rollinson, who owns 1 Plowman Place at the rear of the site of the Airio building, says he will probably sell up “rather than suffer the 18 months to two years of construction”. Dr Rollinson criticised the “11th-hour support” given to Mr Voci at VCAT by the Department of Planning and Community Development. Mr Voci, who did ask Planning Minister Matthew Guy to intervene, said he was grateful for the support for his project shown by Frankston Council and the state government.

By Mike Hast LEGISLATION to lease “airspace” for the proposed Arthurs Seat chairlift has been quietly introduced into Parliament. Environment Minister Ryan Smith submitted the Parks and Crown Land Legislation Amendment Bill 2011 on 27 October. The bill will permit the chairlift to be built above Arthurs Seat Rd and the car park at the top of the mountain. The legislation, which also gives the chairlift consortium a 50-year lease, is expected to be passed into law early next year. It will require the demolition of the existing lookout tower to make way for the chairlift’s top station. The plan to demolish the tower, built in 1934 to celebrate the centenary of Victoria, is expected to be vigorously opposed. Peter Holloway, president of Dromana and District Historical Society, said the tower was a Mornington Peninsula Shire listed building and the society had asked Heritage Victoria to include it on the state heritage list. “The tower is among a group of buildings erected to mark Victoria’s 100th birthday in 1934,” he said. “They include the Shrine of Remembrance, MacRobertson Bridge over the Yarra at Toorak, MacRobertson Girls’ High School, and MacRobertson Fountain in the Domain, all associated with Sir Macpherson Robertson, a wealthy confectionery manufacturer.

“They are all places of state significance.” Mr Holloway said any application to the shire to demolish the tower would have to meet the criteria of the shire, Heritage Victoria, and a groundbreaking VCAT decision that prevented demolition of the historic Mornington house “Marina”, a shire heritage listed building, six years ago. On Monday last week shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock told The News the tower should be retained “if at all possible”. In May he said even though the tower had been closed to the public for almost 20 years due to a deteriorating interior, the outside remained in good condition. “The outside is structurally sound and they [the consortium] can’t just come in and knock it down. At the minimum, they’ll have to move it to another significant location.” In Parliament last month, Mr Smith said a key element of the bill was adding to Arthurs Seat State Park “several areas of airspace where the proposed new chairlift passes over the Arthurs Seat Road, thereby enabling the one leasing provision to apply to the whole of the chairlift operation”. His statement confirmed the chairlift consortium’s plans revealed in May at a public launch held at Arthurs Hotel adjacent to the old, closed-down chairlift, which stops below the road and the car park. The chairlift consortium is led by 2011 Australian of the

Year Simon McKeon and its CEO Hans Brugman, a former aircraft maintenance engineer. Other members include James McGann of McGann Architects; retired engineer Ron McCallum, described as the doyen of Victoria’s chairlift industry, who built the Portsea back beach chairlift in 1961 as well as others in skifields; and his son Andrew McCallum, a former Qantas maintenance engineer. In May they revealed their plans – supported by Mr Smith and Parks Victoria boss Dr Bill Jackson – for a $5 million chairlift that included a large glass and steel top station, which would include a cafe and, in stage two, a 360-degree viewing tower; and a bottom station with cafe and large car park. The chairlift would have bigger open chairs holding three or four people rather than the previous two, and every 10 minutes a train of six-seat, enclosed gondolas. Last November, Mr McKeon was quoted in a local newspaper saying he hoped Parks Victoria would restore the observation tower (pictured).  The chairlift has not operated since mid-2006 after the last of three major incidents – the January 2003 collapse of a pylon tower that injured 18 people and stranded dozens more, a chair slipping down the cable in March 2004 that broke the legs of a 77-year-old woman, and mechanical failure in May 2006 that stranded but did not injure about 12 people.

The long, rectangular and slightly tapered block is very low maintenance with large paved areas at the front allowing for extra off-street parking and a gravel area at the rear leads to a double steel garage.

WITH all the features, potential buyers will love this smart home set on a large block at the end of a quiet court. There is plenty of extra parking at the front of the home with some landscaped gardens at the front and a nice lawn area at the rear with another storage shed. There are three bedrooms, and the main bedroom includes ensuite and walk-in robe, with built-in robes in the other two. The kitchen is between two living areas with a separate formal lounge at one end and the main family living area at the other. The kitchen includes a 900mm stainless-steel oven, dishwasher and big wraparound breakfast bar. From the tiled casual meals area, you can step out to the paved pergola with a lovely fernery and water feature.

Balnarring “Kylinda” - It’s all about the Lifestyle!

Price by Negotiation

Imagine your own bolthole, your escape, your haven! Picture 10 beautiful acres of land. Think of the sweeping views - the reality is better than anything you can imagine...Bass Strait, Seal Rocks, Phillip Island, The Nobbies, Cowes, and the Anderson Hills at Bass... Consider a home that is almost 100-years-old yet is comfortable and relaxing for today’s family. Picturesque, peaceful, perfect “Kylinda” is where it is happening. Glory in living the good life - country-style - but only minutes away from Balnarring village (shopping centre, primary school, community wetlands) and Westernport beaches. A circular driveway leads to a weatherboard 4-bedroom home with a wraparound verandah that gives a real homestead feel. Twelve-foot ceilings, polished floorboards, pressed metal wall panelling, strapped ceilings are part of the bygone era but the reverse-cycle air conditioning and the updated bathroom are definitely for today’s family. The living room has a Coonara (just think of the snug cosiness on cold winter days!) There is gas cooking in the country-style eat-in kitchen. Years ago this was a chook farm but today it’s divided into 6-7 paddocks with a dam, plenty of shedding, multiple workshops, race, shearing shed, 2 stock ramps (sheep and cattle) and a sheep yard. There is tank water. Whether you want a country property for permanent residence or you plan to use it as the occasional escape from the big city, know that life is good at “Kylinda”.

OPINION

My head hurts: it’s that time of year again By Ellen Irwin TO state the obvious, it’s getting near that time of year again. When shopping aisles are sparkling with tinsel and coloured lights, giving sensitive people like me migraine headaches and feelings of claustrophobia as we trudge along buying overpriced gifts that we know will be reduced dramatically during January sales. It seems only yesterday that the same shelves were covered in Easter eggs. It could be a sign that the year no longer has 12 months. I believe that either Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s government or Australia Post might be stealing the intermittent period between the two celebrations. What Ms Gillard would do with the extra time is beyond me. Probably introduce a bill to compel all Australians to pay a restoration tax before returning them to the calendar. Although, now that I come to think of it, Australia Post might be able to use the stolen se-

mester and have a chance of delivering mail within a week of it being posted. Perhaps Premier Ted Baillieu could use the embezzled months to organise a brain-storming session that might come up with a sensible solution to the hospital crisis in Victoria instead of spending more money trying to develop a Melbourne icon that will outdo Sydney’s ‘Oprah House’. You have no chance Ted so, as The Beatles sang, “Let it be”. We’ve more than enough icons with Federation Square, Flinders St railway station, the Victorian Arts Centre spire, Melbourne trams and, of course, the Yarra River. All wonderful city landmarks, Ted, so how about that brainstorming session I mentioned? Now that would be a lovely Christmas present for all Victorians. Sorry, I’m off on a tangent, back to “that time of year”. I normally come home from a shopping trip in a foul mood. One of the

main reasons for this is that I can’t handle being stuck in a queue. Especially, when a six-foot elf wearing red and green (these colours should only be seen on Irish dancers) is arranging a pub crawl with the Santa at the next register. Young Santas don’t cut it for me. The thought of perfect abdominal muscles and bulging biceps under all the red felt and white cotton wool just seems so false. I can see these parts of the anatomy any time during the footy season – along with those short shorts and thick thighs … mmm. Sorry, got a bit distracted again. Give me a Santa with John Lennon glasses and a beer belly any day! And, as for the never-ending Christmas carols that are piped through the shopping centres for weeks before the event itself – would you believe – I love them. I sing along no matter who’s listening. In this day of equal opportunities I find it strange that Santa Claus is obvi-

ously the main man in that family. How often do you see Mrs Claus wandering around shopping centres greeting the children and handing out goodies? She no doubt spends most of her time in the North Pole cleaning up after Santa and all the elves. After a year of making and packing all of those Christmas gifts, poor Mrs Claus must have her work cut out. Come on, Santa, let the little woman do her bit for the celebrations. Along with a frayed temper and sore feet, my lead-up to Christmas always ends up the same every year. Wondering whether the toys and clothes bought for the grandchildren will be suitable and if the turkey will defrost in time. And the Brussels sprouts, will they have to be frozen again? Brussels sprouts are a must for our family on Christmas day along with the cranberry and bread sauces that are delightful accompaniments to the big bird. Being born, and spending most of

my life in the northern hemisphere, is the reason I prefer to bypass the cold ham and seafood diet of most Australians at Christmas time. The amount of Christmas lunches, dinners and dances that are crammed into the few weeks leading up to the event only add to my anxiety. Inevitably, two or more such occasions happen on the same day, making me feel as stuffed as the bird that will be the centerpiece of the table on 25 December. I refuse to wear the ever-popular T-shirts depicting various Christmas scenes and slogans. And as far as Santa hats and reindeer antlers are concerned, no way! In the hustle and bustle of the weeks leading up to the event, we often forget the real meaning of Christmas. Yes, “it’s that time of year again”.  The writer is a reader from Langwarrin.

The Western Port Whisperer A SAGE whisper in the ear of The Whisperer has shed some light on the pothole situation currently plaguing the peninsula. These craters have a dramatic effect on what is known as “low-profile tyres”, basically the ones with bigger rims and less rubber. The lack of rubber means there is less absorption of the crater’s impact and, therefore, shreaded tyres and many tears. The whisper suggests the pothole profileration may in fact be aimed at curbing the activities of hoons who favour the low-profile tyres.

Could it be this is a deliberate campaign to get these dangerous drivers off our roads? Speaking of hoons, there was one plying his trade on Salmon St the other day, only to lose control, smack through a ‘Keep left’ sign and end up on the grass. The conversation the next day between two neighbours: N1: I hope he did some damage to his car, to teach him a lesson. N2: His car? Most likely ‘borrowed’ from Frankston station. The whisper is that it was only the

quick thinking of our local fireys that prevented a huge environmental disaster in October when the tanker rolled and spilt 38,000 litres of fuel on the corner of Frankston-Flinders and Western Port Hwy. The fuel was heading to the bay at a rate of knots, only to be stopped by their fast action when they erected bunds made out of canvas and whatever else they could lay their hands on in their BRTs (big red trucks). The fireys found it hard to get as quick a response from VicRoads. The

lesson learned? In future, if you are going to have a major traffic accident that requires VicRoads assistance, make sure you have it between 9am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday. The whisper is staff at Ritchies in Hastings are becoming frustrated at persistent rumours about the store. Rumours that can be scotched by The Whisperer are as follows: 1 Ritchies Hastings is not closing. 2 Ritchies Hastings is not moving to Bittern. 3 Aldi is not opening in its place.

While the supermarket situation in Hastings appears crowded, to say the least, Ritchies enjoys a loyal following, due to the hugely successful and long-running community benefits program. The whisper is that port construction may be on us quicker than previously thought. Maybe the time for talk is drawing to a close. Then again, the Port of Hastings Development Authority is close to forming a board to see it into the future. thewhisperer@y7mail.com

Ins and outs of diving in the deep end By David Harrison WHEN six of the 11 Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors voted to pursue building a pool on the Rosebud foreshore, they were supporting a mere footprint in the sand. And well below the high tide mark at that. But the six, and CEO Michael Kennedy, desperately want to turn that faint footprint into a huge concrete and tar expanse where there is now teatree and grass. It is to be hoped they are thwarted, and the pool ends up on a suitable site, as suggested by a consultant whose report was edited before the shire released it. More of that later. It should be emphasised councillors did not – repeat, did not – vote to build the pool. They voted to test whether it might be possible to build a pool on the foreshore, in the face of many difficulties. They voted to test the water, if you like, with the state government’s Environment Minister, Ryan Smith. How will the shire lobbyists represent this vote to the government? My guess is that they will argue that councillors voted for the pool project in its entirety, using the first rule of spindoctoring: Forget Inconvenient Detail. Sell the Big Message. Pool opponent Cr Leigh Eustace described the councillors’ decision as support for a project with “... no budget, no designs and against a background of no information about why the old pool on the foreshore ... had failed and been demolished in the 1990s”. Remarkably, sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins – the walking, talking repository of all local building information since William Buckley knocked up a humpy in Sor-

rento without a permit – admitted to the meeting he knew nothing of why the old pool had cracked. Perhaps, said someone in the crowded, rowdy gallery, it had something to do with the unstable sand base, or the peninsula’s restless Selwyn Fault. These possibilities have apparently not been canvassed by the pool push, who want no tidings of additional obstacles. Against Cr Eustace was the divinely inspired Cr David Gibb, who continues to assert that the $30 million-plus pool, which would be built in his ward, has “overwhelming” public support. Clearly he can sense this in his divinely inspired waters, since no proper polling exists to support him. And none will be done: empty assertion is the way he and his council faction wants to keep it. The only evidence the Gibb faction has is brazen push-polling, conducted with shire help. Good old ratepayers! The shire has resisted, over five years, constant public pressure to release any substantial information – even to councillors – about other sites on which the pool could be built. It even refused, until recently, to say precisely where on the foreshore the pool was to go. Some time ago one questioner, impertinent and tedious enough to ask yet again about the pool’s location, was told loftily by shire recreation supremo Peter Gore that it would be built “on the Rosebud foreshore”. Before the consultant’s report was released, the shire’s blue pencil excised material in it that cautioned against a foreshore site and made a pointed reference to a possible alternative site at

Rosebud Secondary College. The shire secrecy and redacting is not surprising: the consultant had been briefed by council to locate a site for pool on the Rosebud foreshore. The shire “censor” cut four vital sections from the report. Here are two of them: Cut 1: “This [foreshore] site will have planning issues as whilst it scored highly against most criteria, land ownership and planning control on the Rosebud Foreshore sites are vested in State Government control. “This will require significant Environmental, Town Planning and land Planning impact studies as well as strong political input to allow either of these sites to be seriously considered for the proposed aquatic facility development.” “Strong political input” – what a lovely euphemism. The shire indeed began a campaign of high-pressure lobbying of government. The thesaurus defines lobbying as “to seek to influence, try to persuade, bring pressure to bear on, importune, sway; petition, solicit, appeal to, pressurise”. It did all that, and more. Certain folk spent nearly as much time with politician and their advisers as at their desks. The community now awaits the “significant Environmental, Town Planning and land Planning impact studies” required before the foreshore can be “seriously considered”. Or possibly it will be decided that these are not required after all. Cut 2: “In our opinion if a foreshore site cannot be achieved we could not support any other site and the best course of action we could recommend would be Council revisiting the Rose-

bud Secondary College site. “This site has a number of significant advantages through co-location of aquatic facilities with the indoor Stadium, as well as linking to proposed cultural facilities and future aquatic facilities. Such centres have been developed successfully, at a number of locations in Victoria ...” Of course the shire could not tolerate such frankness. The consultant wasn’t being paid to be so ... independent. Slash went the blue pencil. The censoring is a deplorable example of how readily the shire is prepared to manipulate when it has decided on its favoured outcome, and how laughable is its repeated boast of openness and transparency. Mr Gore told councillors the censoring was a “typo” – a typographical, or spelling, error. Really! One hopes councillors were not ingenuous enough to believe such piffle. The attentive gallery certainly wasn’t buying it. Why this obstinate, zealous drive to put it on the foreshore? State authorities have repeatedly said it cannot be built there because it is not, like a lifesaving or yacht club, foreshore-dependent as required by coastal policy. Who is driving the push for this location? Of course Cr Gibb is the prime mover, but it is hard to tell whether he is more enthusiastic than CEO Michael Kennedy, who gave us the cash-haemorrhaging Pelican Park at Hastings. This development was similarly larded with visionary verbal Vaseline in its development stage. Listen to Dr Kennedy, in his speech “Beyond Cultural Policy” given at a symposium in St Kilda in 2003: “So we said ‘Coun-

cillors we can get to the other places later, let’s blow $7 million in one place’. Absolutely fantastic. “Second thing we are going to do is build an 80-seat restaurant so we said, ‘Hey Council why don’t we use it to train young people in hospitality, why don’t we get all the kids doing hospitality and food tech and all that stuff and let them work in [a] real business?’ “The Council said to me ‘what will it cost?’ and I said ‘I’ve got no idea’ and they said ‘OK’. True. That’s guts and it will be, I’m sure, sensationally successful.” It has been so unsuccessful that the shire obfuscates the losses. The real ones would turn your hair white. Now Dr Kennedy and his trusty offsider Cr Gibb want to do it again. This time the cost could be more like $30-35 million – probably doubling the shire’s debt – and putting a massive concrete and tar footprint next to a fine, family-friendly beach. It must be remembered this is a project with “... no budget, no designs ...” – well, none yet made public, anyway – and no sign in public of any grand plan that might already lurk in a shire bureaucrat’s drawer. What would we get? A restaurant? A water slide to realise someone’s fond childhood memory? Ironically, it appears that the Pelican Park trainees, who cost the shire a fortune – money for training that should come from the state government, not from ratepayers – live mainly not in Mornington Peninsula Shire but in Frankston City. You won’t get much openness and transparency from shire bureaucrats, or the Gibb-Kennedy faction, about that.

So m e rville Anti-sway control Welcome to

SWAY can be a major problem with most full size caravans or any trailer or caravan which is incorrectly loaded (incorrect towball weight). It can in the least be frightening and wore, very dangerous. Some of the common causes of sway are: ď Ž Poor caravan design ď Ž Poor axle alignment ď Ž Poor and uneven tyre pressures ď Ž Poor and uneven loading ď Ž Being overtaken by large vehicles and side wind gusts ď Ž Driving with one wheel on the shoulder ď Ž Poor hitching and allied equipment ď Ž Poor or unsmooth driving habits TYPES OF ANTI-SWAY CONTROL THE most common types of ant-sway control available are Friction Sway Control and Dual Cam Sway Control. The correct application is determined by the tow ball weight of the caravan. FRICTION SWAY CONTROL For caravans with a tow ball weight under 160kg a friction sway control is available. It is fully adjustable to suit the conditions and loads. This type will work with spring bar weight distribution. DUAL CAM SWAY CON-

TROL For caravans with a tow ball weight exceeding 160kg a dual cam sway control is recommended. This type will only work with a full weight distribution hitch. The effectiveness is determined by the amount of weight being transferred. A D VA N TA G E S / D I S A D VANTAGES OF ANTI SWAY EQUIPMENT Advantages: ď Žď€ Normal or excessive sway is eliminated ď Žď€ Emergency stops can be made without so much fear of a jack knife occurring Disadvantages: ď Žď€ Directional steering char-

acteristics alter. (Friction causes the vehicle to want to continue turning so you cannot allow the steering to self centre). Both types will tend to increase tyre wear on the front tyres.

AS the end of the year draws near, many people are looking to get in to shape for summer, others want a head start on making up for their festive season excesses, and some are just continuing the healthy lifestyle they had all year. Anytime Fitness Somerville opened to members in mid-August and more than 400 people have joined, racking up more than 7000 workouts. With a capacity of more than 1000 members, the club is nowhere near crowded. It has attracted a wide range of members with a fairly even split of men and women of all ages, and all fitness levels. They are a great group of people and have given the club a friendly and non-intimidating feel. Some are up for a chat, others tune in to one of the 12 Foxtel and free-to-air channels available on their cardio machine’s personal screen, some bring their own music and plug in their iPod, and some even read a book to pass the time and the calories away. The club is living up to its name and members are working out any time around the clock and through weekends and public holidays. About 25 per cent of workouts have been at times when traditional gyms are not open, and everyone has their

own story as to why some pretty odd hours suit their busy lives. Anytime Fitness will remain open to members 24 hours a day right through the Christmas and New Year period. You can work out at 3am on Christmas day if you want. Who knows, you might spot the big guy in the red suit as you look out of the club’s windows. John and the team are having a great time meeting new members and making new friends. Being locals they can’t go anywhere in Somerville now without running in to members in shops and cafes. The club is also forming great relationships with the community, contributing to sponsorship of several clubs as well as helping with fundraising events at the CFA, schools and other community groups. The equipment is all top quality Life Fitness and Hammer Strength brands, which can keep up with the most serious trainers, yet are simple and safe for less experienced people to use. As well as built-in TV screens the cardio machines offer a range of pre-programmed workouts or you can even download your own workout from a USB. Those less impressed with this technology can just press “go” and “up” or “down” to get the speed that suits them.

The club is spacious, light, and bright, with plenty of space between machines and open areas for floor work, as well as a screened stretch area. The special gym flooring adds to the bright look of the club, but also ensures it is clean and hygienic. The floor must be kept spotless, it does not hide or retain the dirt and sweat that quickly build up in traditional gym carpets. The bathrooms are modern, new and clean. A number of members joined the Anytime Fitness six-week challenge at the start of November and are now on the home straight and ready for the final weigh-in mid-December. The challenge is a team competition and free to participate. Some have taken an unfair advantage by adding a little personal training with Leigh and Luke, and have achieved great results in a short time. Anytime Fitness Somerville is off to a great start and is set to really take off in the New Year as more and more happy members encourage their friends and families to join and work out with them. Readers can learn more about Anytime Fitness through the website www.anytimefitnesscom.au, on Facebook or by dropping in to the club to ask John or Luke for a free sevenday pass.

BELEZA School Uniforms is a family-owned business established in 1985 in Victoria. Beleza is an Australianowned business providing school uniforms at prices and levels of quality envied by its competitors. “Making our decisions based around a customer focus has ensured we remain competitive, proactive and responsive to changes in the school uniform marketplace,â€? a spokesman said. “A point of difference to our competitors, Beleza will continue to open retail outlets in areas where schools can benefit from having an off-campus local store open 5½ days a week for purchases of uniforms. “The schools will still benefit for all sales made in these stores as they would with an on-campus store. “We have found the benefit to parents and students to be significant, allowing purchasing at their own schedules rather than the limited hours of on-campus stores. “Beleza carries the cost of the stock, staff and all overheads to ensure the schools are not burdened. We have 17 retail outlets in Victoria and are still growing.â€? As a part of the company’s mission in supporting the local community, Beleza School Uniforms offers a free membership club that gives all parents

Riddle: What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years? Answer page 60.

Hotel recognised at state industry awards Westernport Hotel staff gathered on Sunday 4 December to celebrate their success at the recent state awards of the Australian Hotels Association. The hotel was a finalist in four categories including best overall hotel, and best hotel bistro. The highlight of the night was when the hotel was named overall winner as best pub TAB venue country. “We wanted to get all the staff together to announce this huge win” said hotel owner Scott Elks. “After all, we were only recipients of the awards on behalf of the staff and management. It is their hard work and dedication that got us there.” With a history nearly as long as the town itself, Westernport Hotel has recently undergone extensive renovations. “A hotel without people is just a building,” said Mr Elks. “It is the people, staff and patrons, that bring a building alive. We’re very lucky to have great staff and wonderful patrons.” Two of the staff, Chrissy Taylor and Carmel Hamilton (pictured left and right below), have over 40 year working at the hotel between them. “The hotel would like to extend it thanks to all our loyal customers and wish everybody the best for the festive season,” said Mr Elks.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

In defence of the power ballad By Stuart McCullough ONCE upon a time, music was not something made by computers. In that not-so-distant age, it was so much more than a ringtone or the sound you heard when a program started up. As wonderful as technological advancement may be, it remains my view that pushing buttons does not, of itself, make you a musician. That’s because the melodies that inspire the human spirit are not to be found in a DOS-based programming language or algorithm. They lie in the depths of the human heart. The problem with letting the IT department write songs is that you get a very limited worldview as a result, as anyone who has recently listened to commercial radio may well attest. The language of music these days is so confined. It seems that in a bid to reach the broadest selection of people, musicians have resorted to speaking in the musical equivalent of Esperanto when music should really be a whole Tower of Babel kind of experience. Before computers took over, music was made by people. And it smelled of leather. At the time, rock music was not something your laptop coughed up but was handed down from on high. A gift, if you will, from the lap of the Rock Gods. Hairy of chest, leather of trouser; these big-haired galoots knew how to party, but they implicitly knew when to flip the switch to “sensitive”. Lights were dimmed, trademark six-stringed axes swapped in favour of acoustic guitars, maybe even a stool. Thus was born the “power ballad”.

Power ballads work to a formula that is surely the equal of E = MC2. For while most rock music in the 1980s was built for the stadium and an audience of thousands, a good power ballad is more your bicycle built for two. However, it wasn’t enough just to hear a power ballad – you had to see it. Dry ice, venetian blinds and a slightly confused model wearing a red dress – these were the essential ingredients of a power ballad music video.

Candles, a car pulling sharply away from a kerb and, most confusingly, a random exotic animal such as a diamond-headed carpet python or panther. The singer -- clutching a rose to his ruffled shirt unbuttoned to the naval thus exposing a chest so hairy that it resembled a community garden undergrowth -- pleads for understanding. A soaring chorus then gives way to a wailing guitar solo. Rarely can you identify a moment

What’ss on @ The Hasting Hastings Club

when a particular artform attains perfection. But when it comes to power ballads, there is no need for any debate as the answer is as obvious as the hair on David Coverdale’s barrellike chest. The song Is This Love is brave enough to ask a big question without even bothering to use a question mark. The band Whitesnake, fronted by Mr Coverdale, released its masterpiece in 1987 and it is now widely recognised as the point at which the power ballad reached its zenith. Having reached an apex of perfection, the only way was, naturally enough, down. Way down. By the time grunge became rock music’s dominant currency, the power ballad was all but extinct. I was never much a fan of the power ballad. Mostly, they were so cheesy that to hear the first verse alone would likely raise your cholesterol level and tighten the waistband on your skinny jeans. Power ballads were once a near-compulsory part of any band’s repertoire, but have all but disappeared. Sales of leather trousers have suffered enormously as a result, to say nothing of those of diamond-headed carpet pythons and panthers. But like a precious (heavy) metal, their scarcity has made them all the more valuable. In just a couple of weeks, I will be getting married. For reasons that are likely to forever remain a mystery to me, I volunteered to write the music for the occasion. Such events are, of course, extremely important and it’s vital that I come up with a piece of music that suits the occasion.

Something too jolly could lead to accusations of frippery. Anything too dour may put a dampener on the mood. It is, without doubt, a very fine line that I must now walk. Clearly, the occasion calls for something strong and sincere, preferably with an epic guitar solo. Indeed, the only kind of music capable of stepping up to the emotional plate is a power ballad. Writing your own power ballad is possibly the most difficult thing that you can attempt. My selfinterest means that I have lost all the perspective necessary to make vital editing decisions. For example, will the inclusion of a seven-minute “double barrelled” guitar solo be regarded as self-indulgent and over the top or – as Goldilocks would have it – “just right”? Is there such a thing as too much double-kick drum? I very much doubt it, as I set aside all aspects of my better judgement and simply go for broke. As luck would have it, on the big day I will be wearing leather trousers and a ruffled shirt. I have already removed the buttons. As the dry ice begins to waft around the feet of our guests and the music starts, I will be perched on a stool, red rose at my chest, panther by my side. When the bride appears, it will be an emotional moment, to say nothing of when the drum solo kicks in. Although writing your own power ballad is a lot of trouble, if asked whether I think the effort is worthwhile, my answer will be simple as it is direct: I do. www.stuartmccullough.com

All abilities focus for new theatre season

Dining out: Frankston Arts Centre launched its 2012 theatre season with a sponsors’ lunch at the arts centre on 16 November. Top, with arts centre manager Robin Batt are White Cleland partners, from left, Christopher Galagher, Malcolm Taylor and Rod Evenden. White Cleland is principal access and inclusion partner, supporting arts access for all abilities. Left, Nicky Johnston, of Goodbye Mr Worrythoughts fame, with Douglas SpencerRoy of ConnectEast.

Vienna Boys Choir leads 2012 program FRANKSTON Arts Centre’s expanded 2012 program includes the full spectrum of theatre – from plays like Dickens’ Women to Circus Oz, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Bell Theatre Company and the Vienna Boys’ Choir. The FAC is also launching new initiatives, including the ability to select your seat online, a new web address – thefac.com.au – smart phone technology to provide performance information directly to your phone, and an FAC YouTube channel.

Showing in August, Bugalugs Bum Thief, the new show based on the novel by celebrated Australian novelist Tim Winton, is likely to be a hit with families, as is the classic Happy Birthday, Peter Rabbit! The Melbourne Comedy Festival returns, as does the The Australian Ballet’s Dancers Company with the mischievous Don Quixote. Melbourne Ballet will perform Infinite Space; Bell Shakespeare returns with School for Wives in their first tour of a

non-Shakespeare production; while the Vienna Boys’ Choir is making a special trip to Frankston on Sunday 30 September. New FAC members can buy tickets at special membership pricing from today with general ticket sales available from Monday 28 November. To become a member of the Frankston Arts Centre, buy tickets or find out more about the 2012 program go to thefac. com.au, phone 9784 1060 or visit the centre in Davey St, Frankston.

FRANKSTON Arts Centre’s commitment to stage live theatre for all abilities took another significant step when the 2012 season was announced last week. Two key commercial partnerships have helped to expand next season and make shows more accessible to people with special needs. In its 10th year of partnership, Frankston law firm White Cleland will focus its sponsorship on making performances available to more people of all abilities. The result is in 2012 there will be six captioned and two Auslan signed performances. ConnectEast, owner and operator of EastLink tollway, is FAC’s principal partner for the theatre season of 20 performances, starting on 6 March with Miriam Margolyes starring in Dickens’ Women. White Cleland director Malcom Taylor admires the fact that “FAC is an inclusive venue with an enduring commitment to enhancing access to the arts”. “We are very proud of this great facility and what it offers to the community. Because it is such an outstanding asset we decided to become the principal partner of the annual theatre season back in 2002 – a support we have continued,” Mr Taylor said. “We are also very excited about the new role that White Cleland has been able to forge with the Frank-

ston Arts Centre – as its initial principal access and inclusion partner. The endeavour of the Frankston Arts Centre in pursuing its arts access initiatives is to be commended.” White Cleland’s support means more live performances can be captioned, enabling those who are hard of hearing, deaf or who speak a language other than English to enjoy theatre. ConnectEast marketing and strategy manager Mr Douglas SpencerRoy, said ConnectEast “has a proud track record of supporting local organisations and, more specifically, cultural organisations in the suburbs bordering EastLink. “EastLink has been open for over three years and continues to play a vital role in moving people around the east and southeast of Melbourne. EastLink makes doing business in this region more efficient and destinations more attractive and accessible. “It makes good business sense for us to develop marketing relationships with venues that are easily accessed via EastLink. “The customer benefits by cutting down their travel time and arriving at the venue more relaxed, the venue benefits from an increased catchment area for patrons and ConnectEast benefits from the extra trips on EastLink,” Mr Spencer-Roy said.

Performance INXS is one of Australia’s best-known rock acts with worldwide albums sales of more than over 35 million and superstar status. In January 1988 INXS became only the second Australian-based band after Men at Work to reach No 1 on the United States charts with Need You Tonight. In 1985 INXS debuted at No 1 on the national album charts with Listen Like Thieves, which sold 3.5 million copies worldwide. Between November 1980 (Just Keep Walking) and September 1987 (Need You Tonight), INXS had 16 national Top 40 hit singles. In the US, Kick had 500,000 advance orders. The album was produced by Chris Thomas who worked with the Sex Pistols and the Pretenders. The band’s success can be attributed to many factors, including an unchanged line-up, unstinting touring schedules, different and fresh production on each album, their brand of distinctive hard rock, and front man Michael Hutchence’s cool, macho appearance. The band overcame the death of Hutchence in 1997 and is back in rock arenas with new Irish vocalist Ciaran Gribbin (pictured). From their first gig as the Farriss

Brothers in Sydney’s northern beaches in August 1977, INXS quickly won Australian then international acclaim. Gribbin is a Grammy nominated singer-songwriter who has worked with a range of artists including Snow Patrol, Groove Armada, Paul McCartney, and Madonna. He is also a film composer, and wrote, recorded and produced all the original music for the films Killing Bono and Heartless. I caught up with INXS guitarist Tim Farriss to talk about their Mt Eliza show, Gribbin and a new single. I asked him about Gribbin and former front man J D Fortune. “We felt his name was too Irish so we all call him ‘Gribbo’; he is a very funny man,” he said. “I had no problem with J D Fortune, but there were personality clashes and

he wanted to do things we didn’t want to do. Andrew [Farriss] writes all the songs and he couldn’t find a formula with J D. He was a little too fast for us and said things he shouldn’t have and got us into a lot of trouble. “Andrew, our keyboardist and primary songwriter, met Gribbo at a barbecue two years ago and they ended up singing acoustically together and it all came together from that. “Gribbo moved from Belfast with his wife to be with us and is the only Irishman I know who doesn’t drink. “Singing Never Tear Us a Part was a huge test for Gribbo and he was brilliant; he surpassed all our expectations. I felt magic again while writing songs with Gribbo and have posted a demo recording of a new song featuring Gribbo, titled Tiny Summer and it can be heard at www.inxs.com.” Gribbin said: “Without doubt I was a fan of INXS. I remember Kick like it was yesterday. I remember seeing the guys on MTV and then on Jools Holland’s BBC show. INXS definitely played a huge part in my musical education as a songwriter and something l aspired to, so to be in the band now is pretty amazing.” Universal Music has released The Very Best of INXS on CD/ DVD. www.getmusic.com.au

INXS perform at Bonnie Doon Hotel on 14 January, Kryal Castle in Ballarat on 21 January and Morning Star Estate in Mt Eliza on 22 January. Tickets from 136 100. *** EMI Music has released Pink Floyd’s Immersion and Experience editions of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here, following the phenomenal success of the Immersion and Experience editions of The Dark Side of the Moon, which proved that pigs can fly! This second phase of EMI’s imaginative Pink Floyd reissues and extended releases also includes The Best of Pink Floyd: A Foot in the Door, with new artwork by Storm Thorgerson and the track listing personally chosen by David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Nick Mason. Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd’s ninth studio album, was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. When released in September 1975, it shot to the top of the charts in the United Kingdom, United States and Australia. The mood of the album is one of absence, and includes one of the most majestic and poignant songs of all time, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, inspired by former band member Syd Barrett.

*** “SUMMERTIME, and the living is easy.” It’s the heat, I think. All of a sudden your tastes change; more salads, cold meats, cold milk on my Coco Pops. I stand in my minibackyard knowing that my workload will increase (grasscutting) and the very thought tires me. Best to do nothing and let God create a forest for the spiders, mosquitos, snails, crickets and me. I may go for a swim, but quickly; too many bikinis. Get out my two summer shirts, put the holey jumpers away; they’ll last another winter. Have to budget for the 2012 financial crash. Slowly the visitors are arriving, building to a crescendo around Boxing Day followed by my hibernation month, January. Can’t complain; it’s been a long cold winter. Perhaps a treat; Manly in February? Telephone my benefactor (Centrelink) for a cash advance? *** SO I buy a CD and someone says “Did you? Why not download the songs you like?” or perhaps I’m logging on to Facebook and someone says “Do you log on every time? I press a button”. These two and other examples occur regularly where information

is delivered via an inference that the deliverer is more knowledgeable, although not necessarily deliberately. Moreso as I get older. My message? Shut your mouth. If I want to know something I’ll ask, nicely. *** WHY are our soldiers in Afghanistan? I didn’t know 10 years ago other than Osama Bin Laden was possibly hiding there. I’m still none the wiser. Yes, both political parties have always been strong on our commitment, but after all these years their reasons remain cloudy. Russia failed in Afghanistan after 10 years. What were they there for? Democracy? Hah, that’ll be the day. So why? Remember the song Over There? “That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming.” Jimmy Cagney, Yankee Doodle Dandy. “We are in this together,” says Mr Barack Presidento. A bit like me tagging along for a mad night out with Chopper Read. Big Brother? Probably. *** A GOVERNMENT visa program overseeing Australians to bring partners from overseas for marriage within nine months has disclosed more than 200 of them are 17 year olds. Apparently they must meet a

range of criteria and demonstrate they are in a genuine relationship with their sponsoring partner. Aussie law allows minors to marry in strictly controlled circumstances with court approval. Looks like another enquiry. Another wowsers picnic no less. What is an acceptable age difference? Be fun listening to their arguments on this one. *** CRICKET writer Peter Roebuck committed suicide last month. Peter was the best in his business and easily the best in my 60 years of following Test cricket. It would appear that the fear of shame and disgrace contributed to his decision, which emphasises the violent passions such fear can create. Some of us do not care for glory, living the quiet life, but still are afraid of infamy and disgrace. Of the famous, Cleopatra took her own life supposedly to avoid infamy as did Sophocles after one of his plays was hissed off the stage. Conversely there would exist among us many thieves, traitors, rapists who would feel nothing for their crimes; laugh in fact. People will form opinions on Roebuck based on their supposed instinct, but likely innuendo; not I. I shall remember Peter as simply the best.

A Grain of Salt EVERY so often we have a bad night where sleep is on holiday. I lay there in the dark pondering how one “falls” asleep. I talk to “lazylump”, my brain. I sectionalise the three inner senses, as in common sense, fantasy sense and memory sense. Common is the boss but conveniently goes walkabout when I turn the light off to return the next morning full of beans. Fantasy springs forth after a day of being bossed by common sense, and fallible memory sense chips in from years past, warped by the resurgence of fantasy. Ugly monsters appear with amazing contortions, disappearing temporarily when I tell them loudly to “piss off.” I turn the light on when they dive bomb me. I visit the loo, I have a Panadol, I try again. The monsters aren’t so ugly now. I wish I could draw them. I concentrate to rid my mind of a song that won’t shut up and think hard of “nothing”. Sleep arrives at two-hour intervals accompanied by fantasy, still teasing in the background. As I awake, fantasy is drifting away. I call on memory to recall a dream but no answer. In a flash all is gone. The boss, common sense, returns. To the doctor for Serapax.

Joke!!! One evening just before Christmas, a reindeer walked into a bar and ordered a martini. Without batting an eye, the bartender mixed and poured the drink, set it in front of the reindeer, and accepted the twenty-dollar note from the reindeer’s hoof. As he handed the reindeer some coins in change, he said, “You know, I think you’re the first reindeer I’ve ever seen in here.” The reindeer looked hard at the hoof-full of change and said, “Hmmmpf. Let me tell you something, buddy. At these prices, I’m the last reindeer you’ll see in here.” PAGE 60

Summer Motoring Cruze Hatch – local design, global sales THE launch of the new Holden Cruze hatch marks the culmination of a program that saw Holden designers put to the test of designing a car for the global market. After winning the right to lead the design of this important global vehicle, the team at Holden’s Design Studio in Port Melbourne set about creating a stylish sporty hatch that would appeal to customers around the world. Holden Design Manager Martin Love said the team combined European design sensibilities with an injection of Holden DNA to produce a car that was both stylish and practical to offer broad appeal. “To have been involved in the development of such an important vehicle that will be sold around the world is one of the highlights not only of my design career, but of the entire team that worked on this project,” Mr Love said. “The customer base for the compact hatch market is probably the most diverse imaginable, so we really had to be creative in our approach.” That creative approach has resulted in a sweeping coupe-like roofline, short overhangs, a sculpted rear tailgate topped with an integrated spoiler, rising belt line and a wide stance to give the Cruze hatch a dynamic, so-

phisticated and eye-catching aesthetic. The athletic SRi sedan and hatch models are differentiated from the rest of the range on the inside, with the addition of new seats boasting leatherlook Sportec bolsters in both the front and rear. Cruze hatch shares much of its interior styling with the sedan with a dual cockpit design boasting quality finishes, soft-touch components and an integrated centre stack. With its smart packaging and thoughtful layout, the Cruze hatch of-

fers comfortable space for all the family. Mr Love said Holden’s design team relished the opportunity to develop a car for the global market but found the biggest challenge was integrating the hatch body style to ensure it maintained visual coherence with the Cruze sedan. “There may be a perception that we simply redesigned the rear of an existing car but in reality it’s a bigger challenge than starting with a clean sheet of paper,” Mr Love said.

At the forefront of the design brief was the global nature of the car. Lead designer, Lee Mitchell and the team canvassed a number of options during the initial phase of the design, keeping in mind the various preferences from the numerous different markets the vehicle would be sold in. “Different scenarios at each end of the spectrum were investigated from an almost wagon-type hatch through to a sporty coupe-like hatch including lots of proportional models and studies looking at different rear end over-

hangs,” Mr Love said. “Australians and Europeans have similar preferences for sporty vehicles in this class so we were keen to give the hatch a more youthful character than the sedan. “When all the options were sketched, the sportier version that Lee designed won hands-down. Everyone said, ‘That’s the car we’ve got to do’.” That car was unveiled to the world’s media and general public as it took centre stage as a concept at the prestigious Paris Motor Show in September 2010. The stunning show car was designed and built at the Holden Design Studio in Port Melbourne. The Holden Design Studio is an important part of General Motors’ global design network and is one of only three GM facilities with the capability to design and build concepts and show cars for international exhibitions and motor shows. Mr Love said General Motors’ management recognised the strength of the Holden studio following the success of its designs for cars including the VE Commodore, Monaro and Chevrolet Camaro. “Being such an important global vehicle for GM, it shows a lot of confidence in Holden that we were given this job,” Mr Love said.

Hastings Firsts claim a big scalp at Mt Eliza By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS First XI travelled to the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza to play the undefeated Peninsula Old Boys in a must-win game and claimed a big scalp. Hastings was sent into bat, opening with Darren Kerr and Scott Phillips. Phillips was dismissed for 1 in the second over and Danny Heylbut joined Kerr to steady the innings before Heylbut was out for 20 in the 17th over. Trevor Johnston, 10, then added 30 runs with Kerr before losing his wicket, 3/74 after 23. Luke Hewitt came to the crease, and he and Kerr got the scoreboard ticking over, adding 64 runs in only 11 overs before Kerr was dismissed for an excellent 72. With wickets in hand in the final overs, the runs flowed with Hastings posting a very competitive 5/189. Hewitt made a quick 38 while Josh Trevitt hit 25no and Tim Birch made 13no at the end. POB began its run chase poorly, losing both openers inside the first 10 overs with Issy Dias and Birch keeping things tight, backed up by great fielding. After 20 overs POB had limped to 5/57 and weren’t in the contest, being bowled out for only 95 off 33 overs. Dias finished with 3/35 off

his 10 overs, Birch 1/19 off 10, Hewitt 1/23 and Phillips, bowling through the pain barrier, 4/14 off 7 overs. It was great to claim a big scalp, which hopefully will lead to positive results before Christmas. Hastings Seconds played POB at Hastings, with POB being sent into bat. By the end of the sixth over POB was 3/3. Jake Ryan was unplayable taking 1/12 from his 10 overs, while veteran Steve Thomson probed away with 2/13 off his 10. POB was 3/24 after 20 overs. Wade Delahaye, bowling second change, took two wickets in his first over, reducing POB to 5/27 but they hung in against some tight bowling to finish with 9/78 off 40 overs. Delahaye finished with 3/25 off 10 and Dylan Ryan took 2/16. The bowlers were supported by some excellent catching especially Aaron Vinson with three slips catches. Hastings began its chase poorly, losing Vinson for a duck, then Andrew Brady was felled by a top edge to the face and had to retire hurt on 8. Craig McNamara came in and batted brilliantly, hitting a quickfire 46no and with Jason Slocombe 19no they steered the team home off only 21 overs. This gives the team three wins from its three home games but now it

needs the winning attitude when playing away. Hastings Thirds played Mt Martha at Hastings, winning the toss and batting first. Pat Foy and Lee Attard combined for a valuable 84/run partnership in 22 overs with Attard making 23. Wickets in hand gave the rest of the batsman a chance to attack with Foy making 90. Hastings reached 8/211 off its 40 overs. Chris Marsh made a quick 26, Andrew Finn 20 and Jayden Deas 12. Mt Martha began its run chase steadily, cruising to 1/74 after 20 overs. Stephen Lewis had the wicket, 1/14 off 8. Marsh took a wicket in his first over to reduce Mt Martha to 2/79, then a solid partnership took the score to 2/112 with 13 overs to play. Kevin Watson was brought into the attack with immediate effect and demolished Mt Martha, taking 5/14 off 7 overs as they limped to 9/141 off 40 overs. Marsh took 1/10, Nathan Goodacre 1/8 and Kayne Lewis 1/16. The win puts the team second behind Red Hill with two games before Christmas. Hastings Fourths played Boneo last weekend. Hastings scored 8/251 off 40 overs with Peter Mawson making a fine 51 ret, Greg Bradshaw 46, Travis Hewitt 39no, Jayden Deas 28 and

Kayne Lewis 18no. Boneo could only manage 9/87 off 40 overs. Lewis bowled a great spell taking 4/3 off 5 overs, Hewitt 1/2, Shaun Manby 1/9 and Dan Lehmann 1/10. On the weekend, Hastings Fourths travelled to Rosebud, which batted first. On a lush outfield Rosebud struggled to score against some tight bowling being 5/52 after 20 overs. The next four overs saw 56 runs added with some power hitting, 7/108 then all out for 112 off only 27 overs. Hewitt took 3/16, Manby 1/10, David Stark 1/11, Jason Manby 2/9, Simon Clancy 1/0 and Chris Lehmann 1/28. The fielding and catching was a highlight. Hastings began with a rush with both Greg Bradshaw and Kyle Bradshaw each hitting a quick 50. Hastings finished with 2/128 off only 17 overs for another good win in an enjoyable game of cricket. Juniors: Hastings U15s played Mt Eliza at Hastings on a very wet ground. They batted extremely well with both Deas 40 and Lewis 51 ret having an impact on the scoreboard. Andrew Jeffs 13 and Ryan McNamara 17no also contributed to the very good 8/169.

Mt Eliza batted the following week on a dry outfield with three of their batsman scoring very well in the total of 8/190. Lewis was the pick of the bowlers taking 2/19 off 8 overs, with Jeffs taking 2/19 and McNamara 2/12. This was the team’s first loss of the season. Hastings U13s played Mornington in a 20-over game. Hastings batted first, scoring 5/90 with Lachlan Barton making 21ret, Billy Jeremiah 18no, Sean Hewitt 14 and Shelby LothianBurdett 12. Mornington batted well, scoring the necessary runs with two overs to go, 4/97 off 20 overs. Zak Millane took 1/6 and Corbin Overton 1/18. Hastings U11s played Mornington, which batted first and scored 2/148 off 32 overs. Bowling figures looked good with Tom Finn taking 3/2, Harrison Jansz 3/2, Cooper Dehaas 3/2, Ben Paarlberg 3/5, Matt Dodd 2/9, Bayde Wilson 1/7 and Lachlan Robertson 1/6. Hastings then compiled a handy 3/150 with Pat Wilson making 21ret, Bayde Wilson 16ret, Marley Farrugia 13ret and Finn 11ret. With only one round to play before Christmas all junior teams are looking in good shape to compete in the finals.

AT one time we were content for new players just to turn up at training. I can remember one such recruit quite a few years ago and I think Barney Hodgins may have brought him down. He was a shy, well built, handsome(in a rugged sort of way)young lad who told us his name was Richard Everist and he would like to play for Hastings. What a recruit he turned out to be; one of the best footballers the club has ever seen. His dedication to his club has been tremendous, and this is what has made Hastings the club that it is. On the field Richard has a great record, representing the Peninsula on many occasions. His style of play soon attracted a lot of attention from other teams. He seemed to be indestructible, just leaving a trail of ruin behind him. There was only

one occasion where he did not have his own way in a bumping dual and that was when he took on big Norm Johnstone who was about three times too big to run into anyway. Honours that day were about even. How is this for service to a club: bestand-fairest 1960,1964,and 1968. Captainand-coach 1961,1962,1965,1966,1971,1 972,and 1973. Richard also is a natural in the administrative side of the game, being a most energetic member of the football committee. Nothing has happened in this

club for years that he has not played a big part in, including being Secretary of the Social Club during those years when dealing with the Lands Department, Council, and Co-op Societies all fell on his shoulders. I really appreciate his hard work and sound advice over the years. This year (1978) Richard has the job of coaching our junior boys. The strength and future of the club is in the hands of these lads and we wish him well. Yes, that shy young recruit who ran onto our ground has certainly served the club well, so well indeed that he has surely earned himself the title “Mr. Football.” Thanks Richard.

Still punching: John Famechon, left, works out with Ron Smith at the Centre for Lifelong Health and Fitness in Mt Eliza earlier this year. Ron and his wife Sharyn Smith offer fitness and relaxation classes at the centre where Fammo works out weekly. Young champ: Stephen Glassborow’s clay model of the John Famechon maquette, step one of the process. A mould is made from this, cast in wax and then in bronze.

‘Fammo’ statue idea rises again By Mike Hast THE plan to install a life-sized bronze statue of champion Australian boxer John Famechon in Frankston has been revived. Councillors on Monday night agreed to restart discussions with businessman Rob McCarthy and Sydney sculptor Stephen Glassborow, who offered the $150,000 statue free of charge earlier this year. The sticking point was a report from council officers stating it would cost $45,000 to erect “Fammo” at the preferred site in Ballam Park. The cost was based on what Baw Baw Shire paid to erect the Stephen Glassborow statue of Lionel Rose in his home town of Warragul, which included a granite base (or plinth) and extensive landscaping. On Monday, councillors agreed to

spend no more than $10,000 to install the statue. Other Glassborow statues include one of legendary cyclist Sir Hubert Opperman in Rochester, Victoria, and champion footballer John Coleman in Hastings. He is now working on a statue of Australian motorsport legend Peter Brock. The Famechon statue will be paid for by the sale of 15 maquettes, or statuettes, of the original for $12,000 each. Mr McCarthy, who says he has developed and managed programs for unemployed and disadvantaged people, told The Times two maquettes had already been sold to Gary Simonds of Simonds Homes and Bryan Hetrelezis of the Red Wine Shop. A third had been ordered by the Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame. “The statue is a gift to the community, courtesy of the 15 people and

organisations who buy a maquette,” he said. “They will be honoured by having their names on a plaque, as we did with the Lionel Rose and John Coleman projects.” Ballam Park is the council’s preferred site, where sporting grounds are used for little athletics, cross-country running, football, soccer, cricket, scouts, youth and children. Mr McCarthy said Frankston Dolphins’ general manager Bryan Mace had shown interest in having “Fammo” at Frankston Park, perhaps as part of the club’s proposed $3 million clubhouse and function centre, due to be completed in March 2013. The report to the council earlier in the year stated that when John Famechon was asked where he wanted the statue placed, he said in Frankston, where he grew up after arriving from

France as a young boy. Fammo achieved worldwide fame after his epic title fights with Fighting Harada of Japan. Born in France in 1945, Famechon has always called Frankston home. He was actively involved with the community, including helping police run the Frankston Blue Light Boxing Club for young people. He became WBC Featherweight World Champion in 1969 after defeating Cuban Jose Legra on points at the Albert Hall in London. He twice defended his crown against Fighting Harada. With a career record of 56 wins (20 by KO), six draws and five losses, Famechon was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Los Angeles in 1997. He was inducted into the Frankston Hall of Fame in 2008. Fammo was badly injured when hit

by a car while jogging in Sydney in 1991 and sustained horrific injuries. In 1993 he started a radical and demanding rehabilitation program to improve his acquired brain injury. After three months he took his first steps. He now walks with the help of a walking stick and his speech and memory have improved. At his Frankston home, Fammo works out for several hours every day to keep his body going. He also trains with former boxer now exercise coach Ron Smith in Mt Eliza, and swims two or three times a week. In June 1997 Fammo walked down the aisle at his wedding to long-time girlfriend Glenys, fulfilling a promise he made to her four years earlier that he would marry her but not until he could walk unassisted.

Bush cricketer who bowled Illingworth FORMER southern peninsula primary school teacher and longtime cricketer Ian Roy Aitken has died at age 70 after a battle with motor neurone disease. Ian played cricket for more than 50 years, and could count among his fast bowling scalps the English Test captain Ray Illingworth and team keeper John Murray during a Victorian Country game against the English in 1963. After moving with his family from Kyneton to Rosebud West in 1977, Ian taught at Rye Primary School in 1978 and moved to Eastbourne primary in the late 1980s before retiring in 1996. Ian died on Friday 18 November and was given a stirring sendoff at Red Hill a week later with more than 325 mourners following a piper on to the ground and later celebrating his life over a typical cricket afternoon tea.

Earlier this year, Ian bared all when he allowed The News to write about his condition to increase public awareness of MND as well as raise funds for research. This was soon after his wife, Juanita Aitken, had won Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2010 citizen of the year for her tireless work in the community. MND first manifest when he started having eyes problems. Amazingly, it did not stop him playing cricket, even though he had “tunnel vision” courtesy of what turned out to be advancing glaucoma; his captain put him in the slips where the ball comes straight toward you. He was still making runs, as he had been for more than 50 years since starting out as a teenager in Bendigo. In the end it was his legs rather than poor vision that made him

pull up stumps. “I turned 60 and was too slow to run the singles; batting with young blokes in C grade, well, I’d always be looking for fours and you really need to be turning the strike over with those quick singles,” he said in February. He bade farewell to Red Hill Cricket Club where he’d had an illustrious career, playing and coaching since 1980, and before that with Rye CC. A visit to the doctor confirmed Ian had advancing glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve. After five frustrating years of doctors, tests, eye checks and more doctors, Ian was finally diagnosed with motor neurone disease in early 2010. It’s a cruel disease. Motor neurones are nerve cells that control the muscles of the torso, arms and legs as well as muscles that enable

us to speak, swallow and breathe. With no nerves to activate them, muscles gradually weaken and waste, and paralysis ensues. The causes of MND are unknown. About 5-10 per cent of cases are familial. The disease is not contagious. One of Ian’s requests earlier this year was for people to support MND research, and mourners at Red Hill gave generously, Juanita said. Ian is survived by Juanita, his children Stephen and Vikki and their spouses, grandchildren Lily and Angus, and his sister Glenys.
