More jobs go at BlueScope Workers shocked

Shocked: BlueScope employee Billy Hassan, on Hastings foreshore just hours after learning of more job cuts at the Long Island Point steel plant. Picture: Yanni

By Jo Winterbottom WORKERS at Bluescope Steel are reeling after the company announced yesterday it would shed 170 jobs from its Hastings plant. The shock announcement comes just 15 months after more than 200 people were made redundant during a “restructure” of the Long Island Point steelworks in 2011. Workers were said to be stunned by Monday morning’s news, after the company had provided assurances in recent weeks when rumours of job cuts began circulating. “I’m still in shock myself,” said long-time BlueScope employee Billy Hassan yesterday afternoon. He said the latest round of redundancies would hit harder than those of 2011. “The guys that stayed [after the last redundancies] knew they would face some hard times before it turned for the better, but they stayed to rebuild the company, only to be hit again,” he said. Mr Hassan, who has worked at the Hasting plant for 31-years and is a delegate for the Australian Workers’ Union, which represents about 80 per cent of employees at the Hastings works, said alarms bells started ringing on Sunday when workers were asked to attend a company “presentation” on Monday morning. “There had been rumours for a couple of weeks, but the company had been playing them down and assuring everybody there would be no cuts,” he said. BlueScope released a statement saying it would “reduce production levels at its Western Port facility and provide significant cost savings”. Chief executive Mark Vassella said it was “part of our strategy to continually find better ways to do business and remain a cost effective producer”. “The cost to implement this change

is estimated to be around $17 million, but will be recovered within one year through ongoing improvements to the operating cost base,” Mr Vassella said. Mr Hassan questioned how BlueScope could lay off more workers after accepting $100 million from the public purse in 2011 as part of the federal government’s $300 million steel industry restructure package. “It’s very hard to accept; we have every right to ask what happened to that money,” he said. BlueScope said the 170 redundancies would be finalised by mid-March, bringing the number of workers at BlueScope in Hastings to about 500. This continues a steady decline from 1100 in 2005 and a high of about 1800 in 1980. With many of BlueScope’s employees living in and around Hastings the redundancies are likely to be felt by suppliers and shopkeepers in the area. Mr Hassan said BlueScope workers were a “close, tight-knit community” and there was increased fear about the current round of redundancies because many who were laid off in 2011 were still struggling to find work. “They have been telling us it is not as good out there as they had hoped,” he said. The decision to reduce production at Western Port follows two disasterous financial results for BlueScope. It posted net losses of $1.04 billion last year and $1.05 billion in 2011. It has forecast an “underlying net loss approaching break even” this financial year and is due to announce its half-yearly results on Monday 18 February. The global financial crisis, the continuing high Australian dollar and huge increases in steel output from low cost countries such as China have all contributed to BlueScopes’ woes. The company is expanding production in Asia and North America.

Sprinter brings Gift home to Hastings By Barry Irving HASTINGS sprinter Bros Kelly has won this year’s Rye Gift. Kelly, who runs with Frankston Athletics Club and came second in 2011, ran the 120 metres in the adjusted time of 12.425 seconds. The women’s Diamond race was won by Stephanie Mollica in 14.169 seconds. Saturday’s Gift, the 39th, had a first prize of $2500. The women’s Diamond has a $1000 first prize. The Gift is one of many races held throughout Victoria on the Victorian Athletic League calendar. Competitors and supporters were at Rowley Reserve, Rye, in large numbers on Saturday. The cooler weather than in previous years saw more than double the number of spectators. Sprinters were blessed with a

following breeze all day while the distance runners had to contend with a head wind rounding the last bend and into the finishing straight. The Rye Gift one of the first VAL meetings in each calendar year and is hotly contested. Both the men’s and women’s gifts rate among the top prize money events on the sprinting calendar. Results of the 2013 Rye Gift: First $2500, second $1000, third $500 Bros Kelly 12.255 secs, 12.425 (adjusted); Fabrice Melanie 12.312 secs, 12.482 (adj) 2; Shane Ezard 12.318 secs, 12.488 (adj) 3. Women’s Diamond First $1000, second $500, third $250 Stephanie Mollica 14.109 secs, 14.169 (adjusted) 1; Ellie McKenzie 14.179 secs (14.239 adj) 2; Katherine Clarke 14.286 secs (14.346adj) 3.

Winners grins: Bros Kelly, above, of Hastings, after his Rye Gift Win and, right, Women’s Diamond winner Stephanie Mollica.

Cameras record glassing drama SECURITY cameras outside a shop in High St, Hastings, caught this dramatic images of the aftermath of a serious assault in Hastings. The victim, on the right, can be seen leaving a trail of blood on the footpath as he moves up the street with a friend after being glassed in King St about 12.30am on Saturday. Hastings police said the man, aged in his 20s and a resident of the Western Port area, sustained “extreme injuries” to his face and eye area and was taken to Frankston Hospital where he underwent emergency microsurgery. Detective Leading Senior Constable Darren Sherren of Hastings crime investigation unit said the glassing occurred near the Coles car park. An altercation had broken out between two men after they had left the Western Port Hotel around midnight. Detective Sherren urged anyone who heard or saw anything of the incident to call police on 5970 7800.

Peninsula’s biggest tourists By Jeff Weir WHILE most of us are making resolutions to lose weight, some very, very large summer visitors to the Mornington Peninsula do their best to achieve exactly the opposite. The picture shows a blue whale only a few kilometres off Rye in January last year. It was taken by the Dolphin Research Institute’s research director Sue Mason during an expedition to survey whales and dolphins from Wilson’s Promontory to Adelaide. During the expedition Ms Mason recorded nine blue whales and large numbers of several dolphin species. These animals are actually pygmy blue whales which are about two to three metres smaller than true blues. They come to Victoria each summer to feed in our incredibly rich waters. They are bigger than two tour coaches end to end and are the second largest animal to ever live - bigger than the biggest dinosaur. Contrary to folklore, whales don’t actually blow water out of their blowhole when they surface to breathe. The “blow” that looks like water (as you can see in the image) is actually water vapour that condenses as whales rapidly exhale warm air from their lungs into the colder atmosphere. It’s a bit like when we breathe fog on a chilly morning. Indeed, if whales and dolphins get water in their lungs they will drown as surely as we would. We think that the whales mostly head to western Victoria to feed at the rich Bonney upwelling on the edge of the continental shelf. Here, nutrient-rich water rises to

the surface and nourishes a massive food web that includes giant tuna, dolphins, seals, huge numbers of seabirds and, of course, krill. Our remarkable region is home to some truly special species and we all have a role to play in helping to look after their environment.

Blue whales stranded on peninsula beaches during Easter in both 2009 and 2010 but none since. Let’s hope that they are all safely at sea this Easter. The Institute is a not-for-profit organisation. We rely on community support of our Adopt-A-Dolphin Program to maintain our work.

‘Step forward’ for port By Keith Platt THE development of a major container port at Hastings has taken another step forward with the commissioning of five studies worth $2.3 million. The studies, including a port development strategy, risk management and hydrodynamic modelling, are scheduled to be finished by the end of the year. Port Minister Dennis Napthine described the studies, or “work packages”, as “an important step towards developing Victoria’s second container port, and will underpin the design of the future port”. “Fast-tracking the development of the Port of Hastings has always been a priority, and the completion of the tender process allows important work to progress, including environmental assessments which are critical when considering port design options,” Mr Napthine said. “The studies will provide the Port of Hastings Development Authority with the necessary information to develop a pre-feasibility business case to take development planning to the next level.” The successful tenders and their respective “work packages” are: GHD/ AECOM, port development strategy; Cardno, hydrodynamic modelling; GHD, ecology; URS Australia, risk management; and Deloitte, demand commercial and economic. The port authority’s website says Hastings will be developed as a container port “over the next 10 to 15 years”. Cost of the port has been estimated

at $11 billion. Its acting chief executive Ralph Kenyon, in a 4 January news release issued by Mr Napthine’s department, said more than 40 expressions of interest had been received when tenders were sought for the five studies. The appointments were another “milestone” for the port authority and followed the opening of a shopfront and office at Hastings “and the appointment of key personnel”. “After a rigorous evaluation process Deloitte, GHD, AECOM, Cardno and URS Australia have been selected as the successful tenderers for these works,” Mr Kenyon stated. “The work that these organisations will do, starting in January, will include a mix of field-based and desktop analysis which will significantly advance planning for the development of the Port of Hastings as Victoria’s second container terminal.” Hastings MP Neale Burgess was also quoted in the news release as saying the state government was working “quickly and efficiently to deliver the ground work needed to build a new container port at Hastings to safeguard the future of the ports and freight sector and the Victorian economy”. “The state government is focused on developing the Port of Hastings in close consultation with the community; to ensure that the best possible outcome is produced for the economy, the community and the environment”. GHD, one of the companies appointed to report on “port development strategy”, has also been hired by the

government to study the suitability of locating a container port Werribee and Point Cook in Port Phillip. Planning Minister Matthew Guy has been reported as saying development at Hastings would come before the socalled Bay West option. However, opposition ports spokesman Tim Pallas said building a container port in Port Phillip might be cheaper than developing Hastings and upgrading Melbourne’s existing ports. AECOM, working with GHD on the port development strategy for Hastings, says it has been involved with the port authority since 2005 “on land use and transport strategy and scoping studies to develop options for breakbulk and container trades”. “The strategy we developed for the client [the Hastings port authority] outlined a vision for the port for over the next 30 years and provided a platform to engage stakeholders and the community while ensuring appropriate land and transport corridors were preserved,” Lara Poloni, AECOM’s managing director, Civtoria/Tasmania, Australia, said. “Most recently, AECOM has worked with its project partner, GHD, on concept design solutions for stage one of the Port of Hastings development. Completed in March of 2012, the first stage consolidated knowledge from previous studies and expanded the focus to supply chain connections and costs associated with port infrastructure and operations for the deep-water container port.”

Wreckage: The remains of the Redbird off Hastings jetty are surrounded by spoil dredged from near the the boat launching ramp. Picture: Yanni

Redbird attracts attention By Les Mosley

MANY a local or visitor has stood at the Hasting pier wondering about the wrecked boat stuck in the mud roughly 200 metres to the east. The boat is the Redbird and was built in 1915 by the Public Works Department at Williamstown. Originally named Anzac, the vessel was re-named Redbird when in 1921 the federal government passed legislation prohibiting the use of the name for commercial purposes. Protection of the word 'Anzac’ regulations were made under the War Precautions Act Repeal Act 1920 to protect the word ‘Anzac’, and any word which resembles it, from inappropriate use. Redbird was operated by Melbourne Harbour Trust until 1934 when it was sold to a Mr J L Dyson who planned

to convert it into a commercial fishing vessel. This plan never came to fruition and the vessel was laid up. During the 1940s, it broke free from its moorings during a gale and drifted onto the sandbank and was abandoned. Redbird has deteriorated over the years. Its hull and metal deck structure were significantly more prominent the 1980s and 1990s. The hull contained hundreds of red house bricks - presumably used as ballast – and was always a conversation piece for visitors chatting with the local jetty anglers. In the past decade silt dredged from near the Hastings boat ramp has created what is now more an island than a sandbank near the Redbird.

Fire safety man looks overseas to spark sales By Keith Platt EVERY bushfire season Ross Connell watches the nightly television news with trepidation. He fears for the lives of people trapped by out of control fires and watches, frustrated in the belief that he holds the answer to their safety. Mr Connell embarked on a project to build a fire shelter in the wake of the February 1983 Ash Wednesday fires that claimed 75 lives, including 11 firefighters who died in or near their trucks at Upper Beaconsfield. He looked to the skies for inspiration to find an answer to warding off the intense heat generated by bushfires. The insulation used to protect spacecraft returning to earth had proven effective beyond doubt, so Mr Connell, of Tyabb, used this technology to build the prototype Ross Escape Module, or REM. The first REM involved insulating the water tanks carried on fire trucks. Firefighters trapped by flames could quickly release the water, climb inside the tank, which was fitted with twoway radios, an air supply and lights. In 1987 the REM was tested in a

furnace heated by direct flame to 1100 degrees Celsius. Instruments inside the module showed the interior temperature rose to 33 degrees after 10 minutes. The radios remained working. In December 1991 four volunteers climbed inside another REM that was enveloped by fire for more than 20 minutes. They were in constant radio contact with observers and emerged unscathed. The heat of the fire was estimated at 10 times that of a “heavily-fuelled” bushfire. “It was beyond doubt a success,” Mr Connell told television reporters at the time. “It shows what Australians who band together as a team can achieve.” However, a CFA spokesman ruled out installing Mr Connell’s escape module on its fire trucks. He said no money would be put toward funding further tests. In June 2000, CSIRO bushfire expert Ian Knight assessed the two tests of the Ross Escape Module and concluded that its “durability under extreme thermal loads and its low conductivity have been demonstrated. My calculations indicate that the REM would be

an effective refuge in any bushfire”. Today, Mr Connell has refined his escape module even further but is still waiting for the call from the Victorian government or fire authorities. “They’re pig headed, but should at least come and have a look,” he said. He has five patents pending, including one for the insulated water tanks; one for a smaller version for farmers; a home shelter; and designs for a house “that won’t burn down”. His home shelter is also the basis for a portable REM that can be airlifted

into fire zones, providing safety for firefighters near the fire front, such as the “smoke jumpers” who in the United States are parachuted into rough terrain. Mr Connell’s home shelter units have two entrances, interior lighting, fans, small observation windows and storage room for food and water. Although it is now 30 years since the tragic bushfires that prompted Mr Connell’s bid to improve safety for firefighters - and more than 20 since he “found the answer” – he is not about

to give up. Negotiations have started with a new team to provide factory space to build his range of REMs and other leads are being followed to take his technology overseas. He believes the CFA is wrong in putting its faith in fitting trucks with fire protection blankets, heat shields and sprays to create a “fog of water”. “That is no protection from heat that can melt glass. I’ve got a system that can save lives.”

Australia Day tip for Pen Link opening By Mike Hast PENINSULA Link builder Linking Melbourne Authority is remaining tight-lipped about the expected opening date of the 27-kilometre freeway between Carrum Downs and Mt Martha. Rumours about the date have been circulating since before Christmas with one Melbourne radio station broadcasting Australia Day long weekend as a possible opening time. On Sunday, a Melbourne newspapers stated “the freeway does not open for at least another week” when reporting that users of Apple Maps on the iPhone had been wrongly directed to the unfinished road. Apple Maps users have been directed to the freeway for more than a month. On Tuesday, Gemma Boucher of LMA said the freeway was “still on track for the scheduled early 2013 opening”. “As soon as construction is finished and we know when the road will open, we will let the community know,” she said. “Construction works are continuing, with asphalting along the [freeway] almost complete. There are also some finishing touches to be completed, including where the freeway ties into the road network at either end. “Once these works are more progressed and the independent reviewer has done his final checks, we expect to be in a position to announce [opening details].” Asked if the freeway would open on Australia Day weekend, Ms Boucher said: “Given how busy the peninsula

PAGE 8

is over summer, it’s unlikely that opening would happen on a weekend or a public holiday to avoid changes to the road network at peak times.” However, just days before last Easter, freeway construction company Abigroup diverted southbound traffic off Moorooduc Highway and downhill through two new roundabouts, a radical change. Asked if it would have been better to divert traffic after Easter, Carol Bartley of Southern Way, the consortium building the freeway that includes Abigroup, said: “There is a huge amount of work required to construct the major interchange between Peninsula Link, the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Moorooduc Highway so we’ve implemented traffic changes now so we can get on with building this complex connection.” LMA and Abigroup, which is owned by multinational property and infrastructure company Lend Lease, have consistently promised the freeway would be completed in early 2013. Linking Melbourne Authority is a special purpose statutory authority responsible for managing complex road projects on behalf of the state government. It built EastLink tollway between Ringwood and Frankston, and says it is “assisting the Department of Transport to develop a business case and undertake early planning work for a potential East West Link, a proposed 18-kilometre cross city road connection between the Eastern Freeway and Western Ring Rd”. Peninsula Link will not be a toll

road, but will be paid for by the state government out of general revenue, socalled “shadow tolls”. The freeway has been built under a 25-year public private partnership (PPP) contract, also known as a DBFOM (design, build, finance, operate, maintain), where the government makes fixed quarterly payments to Southern Way regardless of actual traffic volume. Southern Way has to meet set performance criteria and if the road’s availability to traffic or level of maintenance falls below standards set in the contract, the government can reduce

payments or reclaim money already paid. Last July, Victoria’s Auditor-General Des Pearson said the promised economic benefits of Peninsula Link may have been overstated and its potential negative impacts ignored. His report, Management of Major Roads Projects, was a scathing critique of the freeway, one of the state’s most expensive road projects. Mr Pearson slammed VicRoads and Linking Melbourne Authority, saying the two authorities failed to take into account the concept that bigger and better roads encourage more traffic,

so-called “induced demand”, when deciding whether to build new freeways. “They did not adequately assess the traffic induced by these improvements, communicate the risks, or estimate the impact of the economic benefits,” he said. “These shortcomings create a risk of over-estimating the benefits and giving decision-makers false confidence.” The report said LMA also had weaknesses in the way it had made procurement decisions. Peninsula Link was conceived during the global financial crisis by the Brumby Labor government.

Artists go where wild things are NATURAL history is a feature of the three exhibitions now running at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. The Art of Science is a Museum Victoria touring exhibition showing the art produced during 300 years of exacting scientific observation and illustration. The exhibition shows the development of scientific art from the museum’s seldom seen collection of artworks and rare books as well as images produced with microscopes, macrolenses and computers. Vision Splendid: Landscapes of Phillip Island and Western Port features works by Eugene von Guérard, Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts, Walter Withers and Rick Amor, and is the first exhibition to consider artistic representations of this unique and varied stretch of coast and land. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Phillip

Island and Western Port became a favourite destination for artists as they searched for views and vistas beyond the familiar confines of Melbourne and Port Phillip. Along with the treks of singular artists, Phillip Island and the shores of Western Port also played host to artists’ camps where drawings and paintings were made, and ideas formed and exchanged. The Call of the Coast shows work by Australian watercolourist Robert Wade who has travelled and painted across the globe, from the markets of Morocco to the canals of Venice. However, in this exhibition it is an outcrop of rock on the Mornington Peninsula that continues to capture his imagination. The exhibition has 15 studies of Pulpit Rock at Cape Schanck, which Wade donated to the gallery in 2007. Painted over many years, the works range from 1983 to 2007.

By following a simple dental routine, you can help give your children healthy teeth and gums. It is very important not to wait until your child experiences a toothache to visit the dentist. By having routine check-ups from an early age, it can help to eliminate the fear of the dental setting and establish a good dental routine they can follow throughout their lives. The first visit is usually a short one. Our aim is to give your child a chance to get to know our fantastic dental team and experience our modern clinic in a friendly and non-threatening manner. During this visit our dental team will do the following: Cavity risk assessment Examine your child’s teeth for decay Examine your child’s gums and soft tissue for disease or problems Evaluate the way your child’s teeth fit together, “the bite”. Identify any potential problems or deleterious habits. Show you and your child how to properly clean his or her teeth at home. Answer your questions or concerns. Present your child with a “showbag” of goodies

Gulls take flight from island home SCIENTISTS and bird observers are trying to explain the mysterious disappearance of tends of thousands of silver gulls from their protected island breeding ground. Commonly known as seagulls and no stranger on bayside beaches or inland rubbish tips, up to 50,000 pairs have been known to breed in one season at Mud Islands in the middle of southern Port Phillip. While numbers were down to 30,000 pairs last season, few flew in this time around. Crested terns also seem to have moved off, although at least 1800 have moved to the South Channel Fort, which was made a bit more hospitable when cleared of boxthorn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silver gulls are successful and reliable breeders on Mud Islands but for some reason they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nesting there this year,â&#x20AC;? the Department of Sustainability and Environmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arthur Rylah Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peter Menkhorst said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be because the recent wet years have made other sites more attractive to them, but inquiries with interstate colleagues have failed to find evidence of increased breeding elsewhere.â&#x20AC;? Mr Menkhorst has been monitoring the birds breeding on Mud Islands since 1983 and has found silver gulls nesting there every year. The islands, part of Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park, are one of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important breeding sites for colonies of waterbirds. Although known to breed on rooftops and land behind businesses in Playne St, Frankston, Mr Menkhorst

Birds that call Mud Islands home Straw-necked ibis (56,000 pairs) White ibis (7000) Silver gull (30,000) White-faced storm-petrel (1000) Australian pelican (700-800) Pied cormorant (50-100) Little egret (3) Royal spoonbill (30) Caspian tern (30) does not believe the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gulls account for the missing thousands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of silver gulls nesting on Mud Islands grew from a few pairs in 1959 to an estimated 50,000 pairs by the mid-1990s,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the mid- to late-1990s, large breeding colonies of ibis moved in, taking over much of the area, forcing the silver gulls to the periphery and causing a decline in their numbers to an estimated 30,000 breeding pairs.â&#x20AC;? But this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number of gull nests is inexplicably low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mud Islands have grown in importance as a waterbird breeding site over the past 20 years with an estimated 95,000 pairs from 10 species nesting on the islands in recent years. It was quiet out there this year with two species absent and numbers of breeding straw-necked ibis well down on the 56,000 pairs that nested there in 2008 and 2009.â&#x20AC;? Mr Menkhorst said about 1800 crested terns had found better breeding sites on the South Channel Fort after Parks Victoria cleared it of boxthorn.

Gulls away: There was no shortage of silver gulls breeding at Mud Islands in 2008, but this year they have almost deserted the colony that once housed 50,000 breeding pairs.

Inspired by coastal times THE Mornington Peninsula coast has an artistic and personal attraction for Jayne Henderson. Childhood holidays were spent at Mt Eliza, which was then seen as a remote beach area rather than the suburban enclave it has become. Henderson, right, this year’s “featured artist” at Mornington News Rotary Art Exhibition, frequently depicts the southern parts of the peninsula’s coast and bays where she spent many of her childhood holidays. Her works have appeared in numerous exhibitions in Melbourne and country Victoria. She says the time spent at Mt Eliza led to a love of Port Phillip, its beaches, swimmers, piers and boats which in turn prompted her first attempts at painting. After completing an art course at Prahran Technical College (now part of Swinburne Institute of Technology) Henderson taught at Echuca-Moama High School, the first of a succession of jobs in colleges in and around Melbourne. She is now a full-time painter. Henderson’s style has been described as “strong and vigorous, showing the influence of the Australian impressionists she so admires”. Collectors of her work appreciate and admire the exactness of her tonal values, an appreciation echoed by many art show judges. In style, her paintings strike a balance between broad brush and the smallest of details. Recent awards include Camberwell Rotary Art Show, Sorrento Art Show, Mornington Art Show, Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron Art Show, Seymour, Echuca and St Kevin’s College. Mornington News Rotary Art Exhibition opens at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington, on Friday 18 January and runs until Sunday 28 January.

A market that gives away profits BITTERN Sunday Market has given more than $500,000 to community groups and for scholarships. The popular market has been operating since 1980 and its secretary John Bryce said that as of June 30 last year the committee had handed out $519,100. Last year it gave $25,100 in donations and scholarships. The original market site was inside and around the Bittern Hall and its purpose was to encourage cottage industries and allow for the sale of local produce, plants and second-hand goods. There were 11 stalls initially and these days it usually has 60 to 70. The market relocated to the Bittern railway station car park in the early 1990s and moved to its current location at the railway reserve, with extended parking and improved resurfacing carried out by the committee. Money is raised from stall fees and donated to community groups on application. Being an outdoor market it is at the mercy of the weather on cold and rainy days, as well as 38 degree days in summer. However, dedicated stallholders turn up rain, hail or shine to cater for customers wanting local

New zones slow boats to protect swimmers NEW boating and swimming zones are being introduced in Port Phillip and Western Port. The staged introduction will be made over the next few years, with the latest zones on the Mornington Peninsula applying to beaches between Safety Beach and Blairgowrie. Zones proposed three years ago from Point Leo to Shoreham and Balnarring limit boat speeds to five knots within 200 metres of the beach. They also include unrestricted areas for kiteboarding and sailing from the shoreline. The staged implementation of the zones over the next few years will include Patterson River, and beaches from Seaford to Mt Martha. New signs and aids to navigation have now been installed from Safety Beach to Blairgowrie, Werribee to Williamstown and the northern coastline of Phillip Island. The changes followed a two-year review by Parks Victoria and Transport Safety Victoria of boating and swimming zones in Port Phillip and Western Port. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new zones will create a safe environment through improved separation of boating and swimming activities in high-density bathing areas, and ensure sport and recreational activities such as kiteboarding operate legally and safely,â&#x20AC;? Parks Victoria bays and maritime operations manager Vin Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first stage of new zones was successfully introduced between St Kilda and Port Melbourne in December 2010 and as this second stage nears

Harrison Iowa $99.95

completion, the new zones will provide clearer distinction of zones and safer waters in three more sections of Port Phillip and Western Port.â&#x20AC;? Mr Wright said zones were prioritised according to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;level of usage and the diversity of activitiesâ&#x20AC;? within them. Boating and swimming zones in both bays would be introduced in stages over the next few years. Mr Wright said Parks Victoria had â&#x20AC;&#x153;consulted widely with the communityâ&#x20AC;?, including local government, business and boat operators, and lifesaving clubs when developing the new zones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feedback provided valuable information about the diverse needs of bay users and was incorporated into the review, positively influencing many key changes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than 70 million visits by people enjoying the magnificent waters of Port Phillip and Western Port every year, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important we ensure the boating and swimming zones provide a clear and balanced framework to maximise both safety and enjoyment on the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parks Victoria is committed to ensuring our bays continue to handle the increasing numbers of bay users and variety of water activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new zones will also reduce any confusion over the marking and interpretation of the existing zones.â&#x20AC;? In the water, piles or buoys would mark swimming and boating zones while onshore signs would show the new zones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three principal zones are:

Warning for water hoons

Kitesurfing for cancer KITESURFERS are checking early weather forecasts in the hope of strong winds to help them raise money for breast cancer research. On the Australia Day weekend 25 kitesurfers plan to race 75 kilometres up Port Phillip from Sorrento to Port Melbourne. The attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records will start at Sorrento with the kiteboarders staying closer to the shore from Frankston to the finish. “Being an obsessed and experienced kitesurfer, I wanted to use my passion to raise money to contribute to cancer research and to hopefully, one day, make this disease disappear,” said Cesar Aldea, who last year lost his mother to cancer. “We are hoping to raise $30,000.” The record attempt will be made on 26, 27 or 28 January, depending on the wind. The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard is providing a rescue vessel and crew to travel with the kitesurfers. To donate to the event go to: vic.cancercouncilfundraising.org.au/ Acrossthebaytoconquercancer

POLICE and water transport authorities are out to stop hoons on powerskis, also known as personal watercraft (PWC). A summer safety campaign is aimed at strictly policing the five knot maximum speed limit for PWCs within 50 metres of swimmers, other vessel and the shore. Over the past summer season police issued more than 500 infringement notices to PWC operators, mainly in Port Phillip. “There are 15,000 registered personal watercraft owners in Victoria and the majority of PWC operators do the right thing and ride safely,” Transport Safety Victoria’s safety education manager Paul Corkill said. “Unfortunately, the actions of a few give the rest of PWC operators a bad name and spoil the day for other water users. “PWC operators are also the source of a high number of complaints from members of the general public about alleged dangerous and anti-social behaviour. “Hoon behaviour, such as speeding near swimmers or close to shore, and performing high-speed manoeuvres, is highly dangerous and puts other waterway users at grave risk.” Letters have been sent to registered PWC owners to remind them of safety obligations.

‘Stop work’ ordererd at wetlands By Mike Hast TOOTGAROOK Wetlands activist Cameron Brown of Rosebud West has had a David and Goliath-type win in the state planning tribunal. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has found that a permit issued by Mornington Peninsula Shire for a housing development on the edge of the wetlands is invalid. The win has been hailed by conservationists as a victory for “people power” and another step toward stopping commercial and residential development in

the wetlands, large parts of which are privately owned. The VCAT ruling has embarrassed Mornington Peninsula Shire. If the development company is forced to remediate the block at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, it might sue the shire for giving it the allclear to go ahead with the project. On 20 December, VCAT member Dalia Cook ordered a stop to all work on the 41-house development at 85 Elizabeth Ave, Rosebud West. She said subdivision works, includ-

ing the dumping of thousands of tonnes of fill, had been done without a valid planning permit. Pumping of water from the block into Chinamans Creek or Tootgarook Wetlands also was ordered to be halted. “Works … must not recommence until a relevant planning permit is obtained,” Ms Cook stated. She said if a valid planning permit was not issued by 30 June, the owner of the land, TJBP Pty Ltd, must remove the fill, roads, services such as sewage pipes, and reinstate the land

to its original condition. This included “replanting with indigenous vegetation to stabilise the land and to provide for its longer term rehabilitation. The replanting regime must also take account of vegetation removed from the land undertaken as part of the preparatory or subdivision works”. Mr Brown, a member of Friends of Tootgarook Wetland Reserves, said he and his partner Jessica Durrant were pleased with the VCAT decision. “We will have to return to VCAT for a decision on costs and how the reme-

diation of the land will be done,” he told The News on Wednesday morning. In early November, the shire through its senior planning officer Sotirios Katakouzinos attempted to have Mr Brown’s legal challenge struck out. VCAT refused the shire’s request and ordered the hearing go ahead. The Elizabeth Ave property and its development permit was sold last January for $3.1 million to TJBP Pty Ltd. Council has voted to push for Tootgarook Wetlands to be internationally recognised by being listed as a Ramsar site.

Rock delay to Esplanade opening By Keith Platt ROADWORKS to repair a landslide on the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach are unlikely to be finished until February. VicRoads originally announced the road would reopen in time for Christmas, but now says the contractor “struck rock” leading to a “minor change in the scope of work”. The landslide occurred in July last year, but repairs were delayed for some months because the affected area required preparation of a Cultural Heritage Management Plan to protect Aboriginal artefacts. Two other landslides on the Esplanade in recent years were fixed without the need for a CHMP, despite the entire coast being seen as an area of “cultural heritage sensitivity” under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. The tops of cliffs at Mt Martha Beach North were “shaved” by the Department of Sustainability and Environment in 2011, although the remains of Aboriginal middens can be clearly seen in the dark earth. A DSE spokesman last week said cliff overhangs behind beach boxes were trimmed “to reduce risks to public safety, and also to ensure the site was safe for construction of the revetment [embankment wall] at the base of the cliff”. “Under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 – and as advised in the Coastal Management Act consent given for these works – a CHMP was not required. Investigations conducted by DSE showed there were no AAV-registered midden sites at the location of the cliff works,” the spokesman said. He said sand transported to Mt Martha

North from Mt Martha South “has now stabilised to a more regular seasonal pattern of sand erosion and accretion … [and] should be effective for five to 10 years”. “Investigations conducted by DSE showed there were no AAV-registered midden sites at the location of the cliff works,” the spokesman said. Mornington Peninsula Shire was also given the all clear by Aboriginal Affairs Victoria to construct new beach access stairs from the Esplanade near Alice St, Mt Martha. The shire was told the work was seen as “low impact activities” and no CHMP was needed. Meanwhile, shell middens affected by the latest landslip near Ian Rd are being removed by hand or an excavator and being monitored by a cultural heritage adviser. AAV communications manager Carol Nichols said the middens would be relocated to a nearby site. “Within the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 there are provisions to enable emergency works in the aftermath of an emergency that allow works to be undertaken without the requirement for a Cultural Heritage Management Plan to be developed, approved and implemented,” Ms Nichols said. “A Cultural Heritage Management Plan is required if a high impact activity, as defined in the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2007, is being undertaken within 200 metres of the coast, or in a situation where there is potential impact on known Aboriginal cultural heritage.” Ms Nichols said AAV did not know about the earlier landslips on the Esplanade or the works at Mt Martha North beach.

Shore work: Top, further delays have been announced in works at the Esplanade, Mt Martha. Left, sand being taken from Mt Martha Beach South to the north. Below, shells clearly visible at the top of cliffs “shaved” at Mt Martha Beach North.

PREDICTIONS

The view for 2013: a Alcohol, fatigue led to trawler sinking bit of deja vu, again EMU always makes a new year resolution and it’s always the same. To keep his blood pressure under control he resolves annually not to take this time of the year too seriously. Anyone who knows Mrs Emu will understand how sensible he is. His Blushing Bride makes a different resolution each January, usually to do with which U3A course she is going to inflict herself on and how much weight she will insist Emu must lose by the end of the financial year. How much thinner an emu can get before the Reaper comes knocking he may soon find out. “I want you to be the man I married again,” she warbles flirtatiously while steaming another kilo of brown rice. Emu is unable to persuade her it is medically impossible to restore testosterone levels and, even if it was possible, her stick-thin paramour would probably snap in two trying to reproduce the caperings of which he was capable as a newly-wed. Which turns his thoughts to the resolutions others might be making, such as giving up tobacco, alcohol and the various other deadly pleasures of life. Emus as a species don’t smoke. In fact they dread fire – Emu’s cousin Bert, who lived with the cattle in the big paddock in Boundary Rd, Dromana, was never seen again after a decent blaze there a few years ago.

Mrs Emu made several unprintable suggestions about councillors and staff, including that some should resolve to retire immediately. Unkind remarks followed about weight loss and a more rigid approach to facts, and a particularly cruel comment about her Aunt Flora’s crow’s feet. Can an emu have crow’s feet, Emu inquired feebly? Perhaps, he suggested, adroitly deflecting the conversation away from this negative downward conversational spiral, our local politicians need to review their goals via a well-crafted resolution or two. Mrs Emu agreed. “That nice Greg Hunt should try to look a little less like the Archangel Gabriel and exhibit a bit more Tony Abbott Cape hunting dog when attacking the government,” she said. “There’s such a thing as being too nice – politicians need to display a bit of rat from time to time. Greg has too much polite public school mouse about him.” Emu suggests to his bride that David

Morris and Neale Burgess, state MPs for Mornington and Hastings respectively, have semi-subterranean profiles inside and outside their electorates, so they should resolve to raise their recognition factor above the long grass. “But no kissing every baby they see in the street,” the BB says firmly. “How traumatic must that be for the poor waif – nightmares for years about approaching puckered lips and bad breath. “They’d better do something, and fast,” she continues. “Ted Wotizname – you know, the big, tall Premier chap – is a chance to lose Hastings if he’s not careful, with the port and its jobs going west and way behind in the polls. “That would mean no more government and no more Minister Martin Dixon. How can Martin protect the peninsula from the Opposition benches, and be nice to teachers? And still no pool on the Rosebud foreshore. He promised us that.” She glared at Emu, who she knows thinks the foreshore location is a fool of an idea. Emu decides not to introduce the fate of Frankston MP Geoff Shaw into the conversation. He already knows his spouse’s explosive views on his peccadilloes and resolves to keep his blood pressure – and hers – within safe limits.

THE master of the fishing trawler Lady Cheryl, which hit Corsair Rock near Port Phillip Heads last March, was affected by alcohol and fatigue at the time of the incident, says a report by the chief investigator of Transport Safety. The 27-metre trawler sank off Point Nepean at 1.20am on 24 March (pictured), spilling about 30,000 litres of diesel fue. The master and four crew members recorded blood alcohol readings in excess of 0.05 in breach the trawler owner’s zero tolerance policy. All crew were rescued by Port Phillip Sea Pilots. “The master was fatigued and had consumed a significant amount of alcohol, both factors contributing to his loss of situational awareness,” the report said. It found the master had mistakenly altered the ship’s course believing the vessel had cleared The Heads. The master had been awake for about 18 hours at the time of the incident. The report said the master did not make effective use of available shorebased navigation aids and equipment aboard the ship. Ports Minister Denis Napthine said the report clearly showed that “human error caused by a severe lapse in judgement resulted in the sinking of Lady Cheryl”. “Despite having a seaworthy vessel and an up-to-date safety management system in place, the crew ignored the

vessel company’s zero alcohol policy and placed themselves and the environment at risk,” he said. “The incident resulted in a resourceintensive response from various government agencies that worked around the clock over an extended period of time to ensure risks to the environment and to public safety were managed. “We were extremely lucky this incident did not result in loss of life or major environmental damage to [Port Phillip]. “The government takes marine safety seriously and since this incident we have introduced a zero alcohol limit for commercial vessel operators and any operators under the age of 21.” Dr Napthine said the report made recommendations on the management for the control of alcohol consumption and fatigue, and recommendations to the waterway manager to consider opportunities for expanding vessel traffic services to smaller vessels. “This was an avoidable incident and one that we are diligent about not repeating in the future. We are focusing on improving marine safety and are actively on the water enforcing marine drug and alcohol laws,” he said.

Great style is an easy decision â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;BITTERN Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a new townhouse development in Bittern. The six units that form this exclusive complex were built with a fine eye for detail. The premium interior finishes have created a modern and sophisticated feel that is destined to be popular with young executive couples or singles. Boasting all the conveniences and size of a much larger home, there is gas ducted heating and split-system air-conditioning throughout the spacious open-plan living area. The adjoining kitchen has stone benchtops with trendy glass splashbacks and there are quality stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher. The three bedrooms all have built-in robes and the main bedroom has an ensuite. Perfect for the couple on the go or even those starting to slow down, the low maintenance aspect of these properties cannot be overlooked. Exterior features include a private courtyard garden and a double garage that has direct access to the house via the laundry. The courtyard has been landscaped with native flora and the bluestone paving in the entertainment area is a nice touch. The overall feel is very relaxing and there will be a lot of joy for first home buyers in owning something that is totally brand new. Mature buyers will also appreciate the secure site and the sunny aspect the units enjoy. The address was carefully selected to appeal to buyers seeking a convenient location close to the Bittern Fields Shopping Centre and transport to Frankston and beyond.

HISTORY

Vale: Ron Benton By Peter McCullough ON 9th November 2012 the Western Port area experienced the loss of one of its best loved citizens, Ron Benton. At the funeral held at Holy Trinity church in Hastings the eulogy was delivered by Ron’s son, Stuart, who had been assisted with contributions by his sister Roslyn (and her husband, Bruce), sister Dianne (and husband Neil) and Stuart’s wife, Sally. Following is the obituary of Ron Benton. ***

A long life: Above, Ron Benton in recent years and, below aged around three years old.

RONALD Albert Benton was born in the Somerville Hospital on 4th October, 1927. Growing up in Tyabb in the 1930’s would have been much simpler than today. Ron only went to one school- “Top Tyabb”- where he completed his Intermediate Certificate before returning to work on the farm with his father, Albert (generally known as Bert). There were no school buses; just a horse named Dolly and a paddock in the school grounds. Although his schooling may have been rudimentary, Ron had a wonderful knowledge of most things; there was little that he could not turn his hand to in a pinch. He had an uncanny knowledge of places and the family often referred to him as “the walking Melway.” Ron was blessed with a great life partner. Apparently at a very young age Pat Pearce knew that one day she would marry Ronnie Benton from Tyabb whom she had met at Sunday School. She told most of Hastings of this intention. As Pat grew older and won more belle-of-the-ball contests, Ron’s trips into Hastings on horseback to visit Pat became more frequent. On 12th February,1951, while Pat was still only 20, they married at Holy Trinity church in Hastings. Ron and Pat were inseparable and Pat supported her husband in his many ventures and interests. Any difference of opinion was quickly resolved when Ron would threaten to pick Pat up and put her in the trough of the family horse, Alcapony. Ron and Pat loved having their family around them. Most Sunday nights would see Roslyn, Dianne, Stuart and their families sharing a meal in Ron’s music room in the family home in Boes Road. There was always too much food. The family tried to edu-

cate Ron to the finer properties of dry white wine but never succeeded. Olives was another of his pet hates; they tasted like superphosphate. As well as the regular Sunday family dinners, there were the special get-togethers on Good Friday, Cup Day and Christmas Day. No one went hungry and the company was always good. Ron turned his hand to many different occupations. After leaving school he grew apples and pears on the farm “Glenburn” with his father until Bert passed away in 1972. But when the bottom dropped out of the orchard industry, Ron knew it was time to change hats. Initially he became a motor mechanic working for Norm Jack at Bittern Motors, thereby cementing a life-long friendship. In the early ‘70’s Ron became the workshop manager at Vowell Air Services, looking after various aircraft including the legendary Angel of Mercy. Aware of Ron’s versatility and ability to change tack, Bill Vowell then asked him to manage the Tyabb Fly Inn motel and restaurant. He did this for a while but with some reluctance. The family believes that it was the smell of tapped beer kegs, Orlando Cold Duck and the then-popular Blue Nun that eventually got the better of him. Ron then pursued a different line, working with his friend builder Eric Clarke, completing a number of house constructions on the peninsula and beyond. By the mid-70’s Ron had moved to the transport industry, working initially as a bus driver for Les Sheeran and later for Landmark Tours. By 1977 Ron was running school buses to Western Port Secondary College having purchased three school bus contracts. He was not only the driver of one, but serviced all three for the next 25 years. For many years Ron parked his bus on the property of his good friend Stewart Watt. These two whiled away many hours chatting in their exclusive men’s club! Some drivers like Geoff Stockton drove for Ron for over 20 years; other esteemed drivers were Brian Stahl, Ray Trinham, David Mason, Joe and Ken Stockton, Barbra Bell and Phil Crittenden. Ron drove his last school run just after his 70th birthday; he never really retired although he did take it a little easier in his later years. Ron loved his toys and over the

years he owned three boats, four caravans, and a camper that sat on the back of his one ton ute. But toys were not restricted to holidaying. Oh no. What self-respecting farmer on 88 acres could possibly do without four tractors, two trucks, a ute, a Gator, two balers, three hay mowers, five chain saws, slashers, rippers, spray pumps, ploughs, and all the associated gear that Ron thought he might need one day. His collection even extended to a snow plough bought, not because Ron anticipated blizzard-like conditions in Boes Road, but because he thought he may be able to convert it into a frontend loader. If it’s been manufactured, there are probably at least one or two at “Glenburn.” While his engineering skills were to be admired, they were sometimes misguided. Often he would come home from a clearing sale with a rusty old piece of machinery with the intent of doing it up to its former glory. On one occasion it was an old slasher. He spent many hours rebuilding gearboxes, replacing v belts, and remanufacturing new skids before giving it his signature coat of silver frost paint. Despite all the care he gave to the restoration, plus the time and money he spent doing up this old machine, Ron eventually concluded that this dog just would not hunt. On his next trip to Dandenong he bought a brand new Berands slasher, and the clearing sale machine was relocated to a spot under the pine trees in the junk paddock where it still sits. And there were his other manufacturing masterpieces such as the pumpkin seed planter, the chook manure spreader complete with hydraulic tipping trailer which he built with Richard O’Nians, and his unpatented and somewhat illegal mussel rake. Ron loved his farm and tinkered with little jobs that kept the whole thing ticking along. Special days included the the annual shearing day where Ron and Stuart pretended to be real sheep farmers, just like the Springhurst-based relations. The day was never complete without billy tea and freshly-baked scones from Pat. Shearing day had the effect of giving the grandkids an excuse to stay home from school so that they could be part of the whole affair. And then there was “hay day”;

again another time when the machines would be dusted off and a pretence made at being real farmers. Whether it was cutting,raking, baling, or, in later years, just watching, Ron loved to see the tractors at work and, at the end of a hot day, look back at a paddock that was littered with little bales or rolls. The family hated the hay carting that followed and there was great satisfaction when the last bale was put in the shed as it signalled that it was all over for another year. Ron was generally a person of calm disposition. As an example of this characteristic, the family are inclined to refer to a night back in 1975 when Ron, Pat, Dianne and Stuart were living in “the old house”while the new home was under construction. The television viewing was interrupted by Dianne who lept up on the couch at the same time shouting the word “snake.” A black snake had somehow made its way into the house and was seen disappearing behind the pianola. Ron quietly walked to the bedroom and returned with his Browning .22 rifle. Three shots rang out, each one passing through both snake and floorboards; even the pianola let out a hearty “boing.” Ron remarked “That should fix the *******” and resumed his seat as if nothing had happened. Although essentially a private man, Ron displayed great community spirit. He, with Pat, was involved with Meals on Wheels for over 25 years and was recently given an award in recognition of this service. He also supported Pat in her role of Pink Lady at the local hospital for close to 40 years. Ron joined the Hastings Fire Brigade in 1945 and actively contributed to its establishment and the construction of the original CFA station; for a time he was Group Officer. He served on the local school council on a number of occasions and contributed to both the Western Port and Somerville Historical Societies. Ron had a great love of music, particularly the organ, which he played,and he was an enthusiastic dancer in his younger days. Allied with Ron’s interest in music was his and Pat’s involvement in the Hastings Church Players in the early years of their marriage. Sailing was another favourite pastime and he was a found-

ing member of the Hastings Yacht Club, as was his father-in-law, Charlie Pearce. With his good friends the Gibson brothers Ron was very active in the formation of the Peninsula Aero Club, and he contributed regularly to the Hastings Day celebrations, being recognised one year as a “Hastings legend.” Ron’s friendship with the Gibson brothers (Harry,Ken, and Len) was life-long. Together with their wives, they had many adventures including navigating the Murray River from Albury to its mouth, section -by-section over a number of years,in their own boats and by houseboat. They also shared a keen love of flying and traversed much of Victoria in varied aircraft such as Austers, Chipmonks, a Cessna 337, and the much-loved Cessna 172, Bravo Alpha Tango, which belonged to Len and Ken. At one stage Ron and the Gibsons managed to purloin a road grader from somewhere and build their own airstrip on Ken’s block. It was a cause for great excitement when VH-BAT touched down for the first time on the freshly levelled land. For a time Ron and Ken Gibson went into business growing Golden Crown pumpkins and zucchinis both at “Glenburn” and on Ken’s farm at the top end of High Street in Hastings. All of the family members have strong memories of feeding the rotten pumpkins to the cows, and having stuffed zucchinis served up to them on more occasions than they would care to remember. Ron’s two great loves were his family and the the patch of land on which he lived for all his life. He was incredibly proud of his children, his grandchildren and his great grandchildren, and the heritage of the Benton family in living on and farming the same land over five generations. Sadly 2012 was not an easy year for the family as Ron started to experience dementia and was admitted to Somercare in Somerville in January. Pat was also admitted to Somercare and the family is most appreciative of the love and attention shown to their parents at this difficult time. Ron passed away at Somercare on 9th November, 2012.

A varied life: Above, Ron admires a vintage bus. Below left, Ron and the Gibson brothers boiling the billy. Below right: Ron at the helm.

AROUND THE REGION

Divers seek blessing RYE pier and the waters around it were crowded on Sunday as young men and boys lined up to retrieve a cross thrown by a priest. The Greek Orthodox church’s annual blessing of the water ceremony to celebrate the Epiphany, or baptism of Christ, drew an estimated 2000 people to the pier. First to the cross was 16-year-old Marcus La Greca of McKinnon. He was rewarded with a blessing from the Reverend Father Eleftherios Tatsis of the Greek Orthodox Church Panagia Kamriani at Red Hill.

Following church services in parishes near Port Phillip, the priest, followed by a procession of the faithful, carries a cross to the sea. On piers at Rye, Frankston and South Melbourne, the cross is thrown into the water in a ritual representing physical and spiritual cleansing. Only men are allowed to participate in the retrieval of the cross. It is also customary after Epiphany celebrations for the priest to visit parishioners’ homes and bless them with holy water.

Coastal visions MORE than 1600 people visited two coastal gardens near Sorrento’s Koonya back beach on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 January. The gardens – “Karkalla”, owned by Fiona Brockhoff and David Swann, and “Offshore”, owned by Jane and Dan Burke – are examples of how specially selected local plants can be used to create elegant, structured gardens in exposed situations. Set among a tangle of tea-tree on rolling calcareous dunes next to the Mornington Peninsula National Park and exposed to the relentless onshore winds from Bass Strait, the gardens are exposed to the harsh conditions of strong, saltladen winds and free-draining alkaline soils. The gardens’ construction was intentionally low key so as to not disturb the gentle topography of the area and to improve the ecological fit with the adjoining park. The plants in the gardens are not fertilised or watered. No supplementary food is provided for wildlife with the exception of water in ponds and birdbaths. Fiona Brockhoff and David Swann’s property has a ship-lapped weatherboard Arizona-style house buttressed with gravel terraces featuring dune plants, exotic succulents and flax to provide variation in form, foliage, texture and colour.

The garden is arty, quirky and humorous, with strong design elements and superb views of Bass Strait and Port Phillip. Next door, Offshore is an Australian verandah house set among wallaby grass lawns, a gravel garden and shady trees. Being on a lower, lessexposed site, there is an opportunity to grow a wider range of indigenous plants. Local water plants grow in small frog ponds; correas and an eclectic collection of salt-tolerant Australian plants are selected to attract wildlife. Offshore and Karkalla share a chookhouse, which is between two vegetable gardens and orchards to confine the nutrient-rich areas of the sites. A portion of the entry fees on the weekend was donated to peninsula charities including Sorrento Life Saving Club and Foundation 59. Nepean Historical Society members served cakes, sandwiches, cool drinks, tea and coffee. The gardens cover more than 1.6 hectares (four acres). Karkalla and Offshore were open to the public as part of Open Gardens Australia. To find out more about Open Gardens Australia or to find a garden open near you, go to www.opengarden. org.au

D& ENTERTAINMENT ʔʦLȫɏ

A secret history of the manbag By Stuart McCullough THERE was a time, not so very long ago, when the very idea of a manbag was derided as the type of thing you would only encounter either in a fairy tale or, possibly, Europe. Men did not carry bags. Instead, they attempted to cram everything they ever needed or were likely to need into their trouser pockets. Generally, such items consisted of your house keys, wallet and a handkerchief. There was simply no need for a manbag. Unless, of course, it was called an ‘Eski’. But things have changed. These days, the sheer volume of material the modern person must transport has increased exponentially since those simpler times. It starts with the wallet. Once this provided a straightforward means of carrying cash and your driver’s license around. No more. These days it is a compendium of plastic. Speaking for myself, my wallet has more cards than mothers’ day. There are credit cards, cards to access cash (cash, itself, is no longer welcome), membership cards and cards that appear to serve no useful purpose other than to make my wallet look as though it just swallowed something large. Then there are the various ‘loyalty cards’. The mere fact that I carry them in my wallet is proof enough of a loyalty that stops just short of following the card into battle. That

our wallets are fatter than they’ve ever been, but mostly cashless, is a complete subversion of their purpose. Instead, a wallet is now little more than a portable filing cabinet for cards that, one distant day, may or may not come in handy. More than just carry a wallet, as a result of the miracle that is modern technology, we must carry a mobile phone at all times. Once upon a time, a telephone was something you visited. It was accepted that for large periods of time, you would be beyond contact, unless you happened to bump into someone you knew when down the street. This, clearly, was an unsatisfactory state of affairs and great scientific minds were deployed to fix this failure of contact. When the mobile phone first appeared, it was the only slightly smaller than a wombat and could only be considered ‘mobile’ if you had a Sherpa on hand to carry it for you. For those who were sadly Sherpa-less (which, let’s be honest, was most people) they were forced to lug the thing around in a backpack. But even then, it wasn’t enough. Much like the world itself, the mobile phone got smaller and smaller. The tinier it became, the greater the expectation that the thing would be within your reach at all times. Friends, family and loved ones, after not being able to contact you for almost 10 minutes and worried out their minds,

will sternly take you to task by asking, “where were you?” Aside from bloated wallets and mobile phones, there is the matter of music. The iPod has changed everything and I won’t even contemplate leaving the house to go to the milk bar without having fifteen thousand songs at my immediate disposal. Granted, it’s unlikely that I’m going to need to listen to You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd by Roger Miller within the next 10 minutes, but the fact that I can provides me an enormous sense of assurance. You wouldn’t want to find yourself craving the dulcet tones of Mr Miller and not be able to do something about it, would you? And although you can load songs onto your phone, they only hold a fraction of song an independent iPod can stand, so really you need to carry both at all times, just to be on the safe side. Finally, there are the keys. Once there was the key to your house, the key to your car and, maybe, your office. Three keys was all anyone needed. But, like wallets, keys too have gotten fatter but no more useful over the years. It now takes me three keys to get in the front door. Ever since humanity started trundling face-first towards the abyss, even the mail needs to be locked away. The key to the car has grown up and refuses to be part of the regular

key ring, preferring instead to standalone. This is more than a reasonable pocket can stand. With all that a person has to carry, humanity’s trousers are now in serious danger of plummeting earthwards. I had promised to run a few errands but, due to a serious lack of physical condition on my part, elected to walk them instead. Standing in the fish shop, I was waiting to place my order when I noticed. In the crook of my arm was a strap that cascaded over my freckles to a recyclable shopping bag below. In that bag were my wallet, phone, iPod (I’d felt a Roger Miller moment coming on as I left the house) and keys. Within a few short years, the recyclable shopping bag has become ubiquitous. Not since the milk crate has something created for one purpose had so many other uses. It was as plain as the bag on my arm that in using this object I was doing much more than paying a little environmental lip service. I was using it as a manbag. There was a sharp, instant flash of realisation: I am not the person that I thought I was. There’s no point denying it – without even realising it, I have become a manbag toting dilettante. If that means that people want to call me names, so be it. I’ll just turn up the volume on You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance Quentin Tarantino will visit Sydney to attend the premiere of his critically acclaimed new film Django Unchained. The premiere will be held on Monday 21 January at the State Theatre in Sydney. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained is set in America’s South two years before the 1861-1865 Civil War. Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx is Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr King Schultz (Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive. With an all-star cast including Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonard DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, John Jarratt, Don Johnson, Walton Goggins and Jonah Hill, Django Unchained will be released in Australian cinemas on 24 January.

Director and screenwriter Tarantino uses criminals as main characters in his movies. His films are often marked by graphic violence, offbeat dialogue and philosophical concerns. He often writes and acts in the films he directs. He made his directorial debut with Reservoir Dogs (1992) and followed up with Pulp Fiction (1994), for which he received an Academy Award for best original screenplay, and Jackie Brown (1997). The official Django Unchained film soundtrack is available digitally online and on CD in stores from 18 January. *** THE international award-winning hit Legally Blonde The Musical is coming to the Princess Theatre, Melbourne in May for a strictly limited season (tickets on sale now). It was a smash hit musical in New York for two years and for three years in London where it won the coveted Best New Musical Olivier Award. Legally Blonde The Musical is bubbling over with fun and has had audiences across the globe, shimmying in their seats, weeping with laughter

A Grain of Salt WE look forward to 2013 with an appetite: a Collingwood grand final and two political parties at one another’s necks. One leader will win, one lose but, eventually, as always, we shall feed on the remains. Tony is on a hiding to nothing. He must win. His hopes may rest on News Limited, sensible policies, swinging voters, muckraking and the Julia haters. Julia’s hopes rest on big education and disabilities spending, the female clique, the May budget goodies, unemployment figures and forgetting the loss of the budget surplus fantasy. Five years of Labor government and we still have a healthy middle class welfare system and a pathetic lower income system far from being a “fairer Australia”. Will Tony be any different? Populist philistines with sadly, little difference between the two. Greens darling Sarah Hanson-Young will pop her head in occasionally, suggesting we plant a tree. I’d back Collingwood before Julia but whatever, fascinating. Happy 2013. Don’t lose the two Ms when contemplating stress: music and mirth. And try to be nice...to waitresses. *** IT can be a pleasant feeling when we get a run of a few days with the temperature around the 21 to 25 mark. No heating or cooling required accompanied by the subconscious feeling that we are saving money which can be a relief at this time of year. It’s then you realise the truth that these power companies are privately owned and even if the government bleeds them they still have to answer to their shareholders so management can get their bonuses. What they appear to lose on the swings they adjust on the roundabouts. Service charges, whatever. Usage down, adjusted as per required profit ratio. Remember when the water bill would arrive at the exorbitant fee of $15 a year? My water bill arrives now informing me my usage is equal to a normal three-person household and I live in a mini unit with a micro garden and go very easy

on the showers. Nil problemo. Add the necessary margin onto the sewerage, or parks, gardens and potholes. The proposed South East Water eight-story head office building at Kananook Creek Boulevard in Frankston has to be paid for somehow. “A place to come together, with a wide public verandah for everyone to enjoy...Having a company of water experts in our city (700 staff) can only help with revitalising our creek,” says Frankston City Council CEO Dennis Hovenden. Like cows, we can be lead upstairs, but never down. *** Sometimes the obvious has to be repeated in a vain attempt to get it through thick skulls. The death of a young male around 2am on New Year’s Eve, highlighted by television and newspapers, carried with it the inference that Rye represents some type of risk area above the norm. This is far from the truth. I ask myself “Why did they ban the carnival on New Year’s Eve?”. Because it attracts troublemakers from various areas of the peninsula after 10pm. Rye is no better or worse than any other beach spot from Port Melbourne to Frankston, other than after 10pm when the carnival is running between Christmas Eve and Australia Day. For the other 99.9 of the time it’s heaven on a stick, unless you’re an unemployed single mother. Why not ban this carnival altogether? Some parents and kiddies enjoy the experience between 5pm and 8pm but then it descends into a seedy hot spot for various types of weirdoes. Get rid of it, or at the very least pay for much wider CCTV coverage. *** I FEEL the need to “hark” back to the Carols by Candlelight event in Melbourne on Christmas Eve. We all loved Bryan Naylor, an institution was Bryan. Channel Nine then brought in Ray Martin from Sydney. Eventually, we decided he was a nice bloke so we graciously accepted him. And now? No Ray and Channel 9 transport another couple in from Sydney. Haven’t we got anyone? I un-

By Cliff Ellen derstand the bloke won a gold Logie for reasons unknown to me, also that he’s a pleasant fellow. Good for him. Send them both back. No wonder Nine went broke. And while you’re finding a Melbourne compere give Denis Walter a rest next time, and in 2014. Yes I know, Denis is also a nice bloke and from Melbourne, or Geelong. OK. 2013 only as a rest for Denis, ditto with young Delta G. We thank God for tenor David Hobson and his wonderful Holy City to conclude the evening. *** Good friends Gina Rinehart and Johnny Singleton are sniffing at The Age newspaper. Is it an ill wind that blows nobody, except them, any good?...Yeah, yeah I know: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett. Give me Mary Astor, Ingrid Bergman, Jimmy Durante and Humphrey Bogart any day... “There will be a single, simple definition of discrimination as “unfavourable treatment” and a simple defence of justification.” Double Dutch Nicola... Peter Slipper cleared. Who would have guessed?...Cliff Richard is booked for a fourth concert in Melbourne. I can’t wait...A RAAF digger blamed fatty foods for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction and succeeded in getting a pension. I’ve long been suspicious of those five months I “served” as a navy nasho...I like the eHarmony dating commercials. It’s all about “getting yourself out there” which is tempting but they don’t explain where “there” is?...Peninsula Health’s Older Wiser Lifestyles program says “No one is saying don’t drink. Alcohol is a natural social lubricant, it improves the food experience. It’s a colourful spread in Australian society”. Nice... A man can know every mystery in the Universe, but he can never know the mystery of his wife”...Hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com

Tickets 1300 111 011. www.legallyblonde.com.au *** DR James Oswald Little AO, Jimmy Little, rose out of the absolute depths of Aboriginal poverty to become one of the most loved and respected musicians of his generation. A proud Yorta Yorta man born on the banks of the Murray River in south eastern Australia in 1937, he received many awards and citations in his long career including entry to the ARIA Hall of Fame, the APRA Ted Albert Award, the Order of Australia, honorary doctorates from QUT, Sydney University and The Australian Catholic University and in 2004 he was named one of Australia’s 100 National Living Treasures. On the occasion of his death in 2012 he was given a state memorial service at The Sydney Opera House and flags flew at half-mast on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, condolence motions were passed in the national and state parliaments and many members rose to speak fondly of their personal encounters with this remarkable Australian and his gentle journey from obscurity to national icon. Warner Music Australia and Festival Records are proud to present the release of two new titles by the late, great Australian singer Jimmy Little. Available now is the single disc collection entitled Treasure: The Very Best of Jimmy Little 1956-2011 and out 18 January is the three-disc collection Songman.

The two titles are the first new Jimmy Little By releases since Gary his passing in Turner April 2012. Treasure spans Little’s work from the 1950s through to the 21st century and features 15 perennial tracks including Yorta Yorta Man, Randwick Bells, Winterwood, Mysteries of Life and Royal Telephone. Songman is an ambitious 3-disc set that brings together freshly-remastered versions of Jimmy’s landmark comeback album Messenger and its follow-up Life’s What You Make It as well as some wonderful material from the archives. In 2006 he founded the Jimmy Little Foundation to raise money and promote on a permanent basis the message of healthy nutrition and lifestyle for indigenous Australians. Jimmy died in his sleep at the family home in Dubbo, NSW on 2 April 2012, aged 75. *** THE Seekers - Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley - have reunited for ‘The Golden Jubilee Tour’.

As the centrepiece of their two-hour performances, the legendary group who put Australia on the global pop music map, will raise the roof with their chart-topping hits I’ll Never Find Another You, A World Of Our Own, The Carnival Is Over, Morningtown Ride, Georgy Girl, I Am Australian, and other unforgettable crowd favourites.

Mt Eliza goes downhill as Baxter and Crib Point prevail PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO holds its spot on top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after Anthony Blackwell led the side to victory against Mt Eliza. Billed as the match of the round, the Sharks eased to victory with a massive 24 overs to spare after rolling the Mounties for just 102. In the first match after Christmas, the Mounties were unable to offer any resistance. Just two of the 11 players who batted were able to make double figures. There is no question they missed Justin Grant, who was representing Victoria. Matty O’Brien top scored with 43 while Lloyd Gourel-de-Saint-Pern was the next best performer with 26. Blackwell led the charge with the ball for the Sharks, bowling eight overs and finishing with 4/22. AJ King opened the attack and snared 3/12 from seven overs.

When it came time to bat, the Sharks were keen on having an early day. Nick Jewell top scored with an unbeaten 59 and Blackwell finished not out 26. The home side wrapped things up in the 16th over. Baxter got over the line in a thriller against Peninsula Old Boys, bowling out the opposition in the last over of the day, four runs short of the 140 runs they set the visitors. Losing the toss and being sent into bat on their home deck, Baxter put together 8/140 in their 40 overs, Daniel Warwick top scoring with 64, while Ben Matters contributed the second highest score of 20. Dale Irving was bowled for six and Trav Sawers continues to struggle with the bat, sent packing for seven. Adam Jones was the pick of the Old Boys’s attack with 3/20 from 10 overs, while John Forrest was also more than valuable with 3/36. The Old Boys struggled early with the bat and lost their first three wickets for 34 before Glenn Prendergast with

a half century made the game interesting. Cameo appearances from Dylan O’Malley (12) and Zac Fillipone (10) at the end got the vistors within close range, however, Neil Franks and Prendergast were cleaned up with the score on 136 and just three balls remaining. Sam Wolsgrove snared 3/27 for Baxter while Dale Irving and Ben Smith each claimed two wickets. The Old Boys remain out of the top six, while Baxter maintains its position in second place. Long Island feasted on the opportunity to play Moorooduc without Bobby Wilson, smashing the Ducs by more than 100 runs. While Wilson was scoring double hundreds for Victoria in the country championships, his side was being rolled for 98. Long Island amassed 2/211, Aaron Paxton top scoring with an unbeaten 110, while Michael Burke eased back in with an unbeaten 48. With the ball, Andrew Tweddle did

the damage, claiming 5/35, while Greg Lamb snared 4/29. Mornington is in third place on the ladder after recording a comfortable victory against Ballam Park. Ben Clements was the star of the show for the Dogs with 135, while Luke Popov scored an unbeaten half century. Mornington belted 3/282 at Ballam Park. Matt Harper was the best of the Dogs’ bowlers with 4/25 from 10 overs, while Popov picked-up 3/24 from his 10. Russell Perry was the solo performer for the Knights, scoring more than half of his side’s runs with 71. Crib Point got the chocolates against Mt Martha in a non-eventful game. Batting first, the Magpies were bowled out in the 39th over for 133, Henry Dolphin top scoring with 24. Tim Bateman was superb for the Reds with 4/34, while Dave Sands picked-up 3/14. Whilst the Mt Martha bowlers did

the job, the bats couldn’t muster the same performance, rolled for just 94. Sands top scored with 20, one of three double figure scores on the Reds’ card. Brad Davidson was the pick of the Magpies bowlers with 3/15 from 10, while Glenn Barclay helped himself to two wickets. Rye was able to hunt down the166 needed for victory against Heatherhill to claim victory. The Hills won the toss and batted with John Hille top scoring with 49 and Matty Meagher getting 39. Christian Heath scored 31 at the top of the innings. Rye’s Darren Groves was slick with the ball, snaring 3/19 from 10 overs. With the bat, Rye was always in control. Justin King (34) and Ben Ashworth (65) were the rocks in the middle of the innings, ensuring they got the side over the line. Rye scored 5/169 in 36.3 overs to claim victory.

Eagles wings clipped as the Ridge notches a win DISTRICT By IT Gully A MAN of the match performance by Delacombe Park’s Chris Brittain saw Langwarrin lose its first game of the season in MPCA District cricket on Saturday. Chasing 200 for victory, the game remained in the balance until the final five overs when Brittain was joined at the crease by Simon Dignan. With the score at 7/165 and a handful of overs remaining, Dignan strode to the crease and unleashed a number of massive hits to score an unbeaten 28 runs and give his side victory. However, it was Chris Brittain who provided the foundation for the win, scoring an unbeaten 78. Brittain was always accutely aware of the situation in hand and despite losing regular wickets, never swayed from the plan. The run rate never ex-

ceeded six an over and on the small Parkers’ ground, that was never going to be an issue. Earlier in the day, Chris’ brother Ben was the pick of the bowlers with 5/33 from six overs. Mark Cooper scored 42 for the Kangas and David Ross 74. Hastings’ season went from bad to worse on Saturday, smashed by Carrum. The Blues won the toss and batted first, however, both openers, including Scott Phillips, were back in the sheds before the score had reached two. When Luke Hewitt was the third man sent packing for yet another duck, the Blues were reeling at 3/5. Tim Birch was a saving grace with 35, however, his side was unable to reach three figures, dismissed for 82 in the 32nd over. Jackson Fry picked-up 3/17 and Jeremy Graves 3/11 for Carrum, while

Liam Dobson snared two wickets. The Blues started in sensational fashion with the ball, picking-up the first three wickets for just 14 runs. However, Dean Polson (32) and Matt Boland (29) steered the ship to victory for Carrum. Isuru Dias was the best of the Blues bowlers with 3/21, while Phillips snared 2/8 from 10. The Lions are in second place on the ladder, while the Blues remain outside the top six. Boneo cruised to victory against Frankston YCW and remains in fourth place on the table. Batting first, Boneo put together 5/236, Leigh Lowry top scoring with 86. Alex Petrovic had a superb match for the winners, scoring 39 with the bat before claiming 4/10 with the ball. Cameron Williams was also amongst the runs and wickets, scoring 29 and

taking 2/24. Ryan McQueen scored an unbeaten 100 to help Seaford across the line against Pines. Pines scored 160 in 38.5 overs batting first, Brett Hudgson top scoring with 36. Andrew McMannis with 3/30 and Nathan Volpe with 3/55 were the pick of the Seaford bowlers. McQueen opened the innings and got his side across the line with the help of Nick Simpendorfer, who scored 45. Baden Powell stayed in touch with the top bracket after recording a comfortable victory over Flinders. Baden Powell bowled first and rolled the opposition for 70 in 30 overs. Beren Hammill was the best of the bowlers with 4/29, while Rob Sinni helped himself to 3/17 from nine overs. With the bat, the Braves were al-

ways in control, Elia Carter top scoring with 56 after opening the batting, while Travis Kellerman scored 42. Main Ridge is just a game outside of the top four after pulling off a sensational win against Somerville. The Ridge batted first and scored 6/234, Pete Mereszko scoring 102 and Gareth Wyatt 80. The Eagles were then left 30-odd runs short in the chase, bowled out in the last over for 205. However, early in their innings, the Eagles looked home. The Eagles were cruising early at 0/85 and then again at 1/141, however, lost 4/16 to be in some trouble. Nick Marshall top scored with 78 for the Eagles, while Keith Burdett opened with 33. Brendan Rossborough claimed 4/43 and Jason Albress 3/50 for the Ridge.

Red Hill starts season on the rise SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully RED Hill has started the new year in great fashion, beating Balnarring in MPCA Sub District cricket. The Hillmen had an atrocious 2012, however, beating the second placed Balnarring was a great way to kick-start the new year. The Hillmen are now just half a game outside of the top four. Simon Dart top scored with 80 for Red Hill after his side won the toss and batted first. Matthew Merifield also scored an unbeaten 63 to help the home side to 5/226 from its 40 overs. Luke Chapple was the best of the Balnarring bowlers in terms of wickets taken, snaring 2/69 from nine overs. With the bat, Chapple was superb, scoring 91. However, he received little support, other than from Tom Hilet, who scored 24. Nick Wood was the star with the ball for the Hillmen with 5/38, while Dart claimed 3/23. Balnarring was bowled out for 164. Seaford Tigers have rocketed to second

place after a solid victory against Tootgarook in enemy territory. The Tigers were sensational with the bat, amassing 8/282, Ash Mills top scoring with 95 and David James contributing 57. The Tigers’ bowlers then turned it on, rolling the Tooters for 148. James completed a man of the match performance with 5/25, while Corey Hand and Tom Burgdorf took two wickets each. Tyabb remains in the top four in third place after a solid victory against Dromana. Batting first, the Yabbies started well, however, set-up the match in the middle order with half centuries to Greg Burch and Justin Hanna. Ben Van Wees opened with 26. Dromnana’s Jessie Albrecht picked up five wickets. Albrecht also made 27 runs with the bat and Zac Klan hit 49, however, it wasn’t enough to get the Hoppers the 192 needed for victory. They finished on 7/155 off 40 overs. Luke Rus was the best of the Yabbies bowlers, who all bowled tight spells. Rus snared 3/32. Pearcedale kept in touch with the top

bracket after a five-run win against French Island. Chasing 174 for victory, Pearecdale got over the line in the final over of the day. They are in sixth place, half a game from fourth. Matt Cousland was the star with the bat for the Panthers with 57, while David Brabazon was next best with 39. Ben King was the best of the Islander’s bowlers with 3/36. Earlier, Lachlan Cross bowled 10 overs, six maidens and finished with 3/15 to help the Panthers restrict French Island to 173 from 37.5 overs. Jacob King, batting at eight for the Islanders, scored 50. Skye had few problems getting the points against Carrum Downs. The Cougars were bowled out in the 30th over, scoring just 115. Andrew Hook scored more than half of those runs, getting 64. Ben Milano and Leigh Smith were superb with the ball for Skye with three wickets each. Leigh Smith then turned it on with the bat, scoringt an unbeaten 53, to guide his side to a comfortable victory.

Losing battle: Frankston Penininsula lost first innings points to Prahran in the Victorian Premier Cricket 1st XI on Saturday. James Miller and Robert Salerni were the only two batsmen to hit double figures for Frankston Peninsula with 34 and 19 respectively. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Hastings Firsts collapse against Carrum HASTINGS CRICKET

By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Firsts were looking for a good start to the new year against the second placed Carrum but again it’s batting failed to fire as they capitulated for a paltry 81 off only 32 over’s. Batting first Hastings let itself down as Watson, Phillips and Hewitt all made ducks and after 6 over’s were 3/7 which included 4 no balls. Tim Birch played a streaky innings of 35 whilst Craig Keppel contributed 14no to be the only players to reach double figures. As previously stated the senior players must put there hands up and lead from the front otherwise these type of scores will continue. Defending 81 was always going to be very difficult but Carrum’s top order also had trouble with the new ball falling to 3/14 in the 11th over. The next pair dug in with a 49 run partnership which broke the game open, 4/63 which became 6/74 5 over’s later and that’s as close as the boys got as Carrum finished at 6/82, a winning score. Both Phillips and Issy Dias bowled 10 over’s each taking 2/8 and 3/21 respectively whilst Luke Hewitt claimed 1/20 from his 6 over’s. The boys must now regroup for there next match against 4th placed Boneo. Hastings Seconds vs Carrum: Carrum batted first against the strongst seconds team fielded this season and with the boys bowling and fielding brilliantly Carrum were rolled for a paltry 77 off 33.3 overs. Jake Ryan continued his good form taking 2/14 off 10 over’s, whilst Chris Dalmau enjoying his opportunities took 3/15 off 7 over’s and then Dylan Ryan cleaned

Triple treat: Izzy Dias lets one fly on his way to figures of 3/21. Picture: Andrew Hurst

up the tail in menacing fashion taking 4/3 off 4.3 over’s. Hastings began it’s run chase in a hurry as Dave Craig hit a quick 23, 1/31 after 8 over’s. Morgan Darrer joined D.Ryan and they added 41 runs when Ryan was brilliantly caught for 16, 2/68 with victory insight. The game was over 3 over’s later as Darrer finished 30no and Hastings made 2/84 for a comprehensive win, it’s second for the season. With the bottom two sides to play in the next two rounds the boys must take this form and winning attitude into these games. Juniors: U15’s vs Crib Point: With both teams being short on players due to family holiday’s Hastings sent Crib

Got any sport news?

Point into bat with immediate success, 2/9 in the 4th over then 5/33 after 15. The tail survived another 14 over’s to take the score to 53. All our boys bowled well with Sean Hewitt taking 2/8, Luke Gray 3/4, Johnny Bannon 1/3 and Rhiannon Hewitt 1/3. Coach Jeffs decided it was a good opportunity to give the lower order batsmen a chance to face some good bowling but the kids didn’t make a very good fist of the chance as they collapsed to be 6/20 in only 10 over’s before Matt Foy 17no and Brodie Prestage got the score to 6/40 at stumps. U13’s vs Tyabb: Suffering the same problem as the U15’s Hastings U13’s fielded with 8 players but these boys did a great job restricting Tyabb to 7/87 off it’s 40 over’s. Thomas Finn bowled well taking 2/9, Blake Mealey took 2/8, Corbin Overton 1/10 plus 2 catches and Regan Taylor 1/13. Hopefully next week we will have 11 batsmen to try and chase down Tyabb’s total. The clubs 3rds and 4ths begin next weekend as does the U11’s. Milo will commence on the last Friday off January ( 25th ). Vale: The President, Committee and players would like to pass on it’s condolences to Jim McGrath and his family on the passing of his father Joe, our thoughts are with you. Upcoming Function: Have lunch with ex Australian Opening Bowler and Fox Sports commentator Damien Fleming on Friday 8th March at The Hastings Club, tickets are $65 which includes a two course meal, for booking please contact Carrie at the Club on 59791740.

Tigers on the prowl DROMANA has kicked off the 2013 season in wonderful fashion, locking away its recruits and focussing on another tilt at the Nepean premiership. After getting agonisingly close to winning the flag last season, the Tigers brainstrust went about eliminating some perceived deficiences at the back end of last season. The resulkts of their recruiting drive have been superb. The pick of the recruits is Mt Eliza on-baller/forward Daniel Gormley. The silky smooth goal kicker with the awkward kicking style will add tremendous polish to the Tigers in key areas. Another area the Tigers fell down last season was a focal point in attack. That spot has been filled by 192cm former Dolphin Adam Lowry. Lowry hasn’t played for a few seasons and is cherry ripe. Matt Neratzoglou joinshis borther Jay and will be used as a defender, ruckman and forward. Former Somerville, Mornington and Frankston Dolphin defender Christian Ongarello has also joined the Tigers, while former Frankston YCW premiership vice captain Daniel Waddell will be another key defender. Add Tim Johnson, who has returned to the club, while Dan Guerts has returned from the Stingrays. Without question, the Tigers have recruited better than any other team in the comptetion in recent memory.

And the player points system? Won’t be an issue according to coach Gavin Artico. “With all of our recruits playing, we will still be under the cap,” Artico said. “We wanted specific players to top up our list and were well aware of our points system. “We have got some sensational players to add to our group and we can all now focus on preparing for the season.” *** IN other footy news, Hastings is expected to lose up to 10 players from its senior list, including Kyle Pinto, Ben Deveraux, Matty Robbins and Brad Arnold. Somerville has lost Todd and Justin Farrelly back to Karingal, while Ben Crowe has also left. With Aaron Murray down with a knee, the Eagles will be relying on the youngsters to take the next step. Leigh Stewart remains the senior coach. Rye has lost Justin Van Unen to Vermont. Finding 100+ goals won’t be an easy task over the the coming months. Brad Wakeling has returned to where it all begun at Frankston YCW. After applying for a few coach positions, Wakeling decided to head back to the Stonecats after seven years at Langwarrin and one with Frankston Bombers. On Frankston Bombers, they have recruited former Collingwood and West Coast forward Damien Atkins, as well as Duncan Proud as captain coach. Proud is a duel Peninsula Team of the Year full back from Karingal. Defender Alan Williams and spedster Jason Bedford have joined Proud from Karingal.

Holden heads off-road with heavy duty Colorado HOLDEN will boost its popular SUV range and build upon the success of the Colorado light commercial vehicle range by introducing its first serious off-roader in more than a decade, the new Colorado 7 4X4. Developed alongside the hard-working Colorado LCV range, Colorado 7 has been designed to meet the needs of customers seeking a tough and stylish SUV with genuine off-road credentials, hefty 3-tonne towing capacity and a cabin large enough to haul a large family and cargo. It boasts the same muscular styling, powerful new Duramax 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine and impressive off-road capability as its LCV sibling with generous cargo space, full-size seven-seat interior, and a chassis configuration designed specifically for the SUV. Colorado 7 will be available in two specifications, the well-equipped entry level LT and top-spec LTZ. The new SUV also shares the safety credentials of its Colorado Crew Cab stable-mate, which is recognised with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. Colorado’s robust structural design is backed by a comprehensive array of safety features with Electronic Stability Control, dual front airbags and full-length curtain airbags that extend to the third row on both LT and LTZ variants. One powertrain and transmission

combination will be available with the strong-performing 2.8-litre diesel engine and 6-speed automatic transmission standard on both LT and LTZ Colorado 7 models. The Duramax diesel engine achieves 132 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque. Colorado 7’s advanced diesel technology ensures it returns 9.4 litres per 100 kilometres (ADR 81/02) and 252 grams of CO2 per kilometre. Colorado 7’s chassis has been engineered independently of the Colorado LCV and is biased towards passenger comfort. While both models share an independent double wishbone front

suspension set up, Colorado 7 features a five-link live axle rear suspension configuration that is unique to the SUV and coil springs front and rear. The Holden SUV’s impressive offroad performance is underpinned by a part time four-wheel drive system with transfer case, with low and high ratio gears, Shift on the Fly and Limited Slip Differential. Colorado 7’s Descent Control System enhances its already formidable 4X4 capability. Colorado 7’s generous interior dimensions enable a spacious and practical interior layout, with seven seats fitted across the range. With the sec-

ond and third row seats folded, Colorado 7 can accommodate as much as 1830 litres of cargo. Holden Executive Director - Sales and Marketing Philip Brook said Colorado 7 will be an exciting addition to Holden’s growing SUV portfolio, allowing Holden to offer a serious 4X4 alternative in the rapidly expanding SUV market. “The new Colorado 7 is the type of vehicle Australian buyers expect Holden to offer. We’re really excited to bring a genuine off-roader back into the Holden line-up,” he said. “Colorado 7 is a very impressive all-rounder – it has seven seats, tough on-road presence, a rugged body-onframe structure, powerful 2.8 litre Duramax diesel powertrain with 6-speed automatic transmission, 3-tonne towing capacity and enough room to haul the family and a heap of gear “It also has an accomplished and durable four-wheel drive system with Shift on the Fly, Descent Control and Limited Slip Differential, which means it’s capable of tackling the toughest bush tracks. “Colorado 7 also offers peace of mind with a maximum five star ANCAP safety rating, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, driver and front passenger airbags, full length curtain airbags and Electronic Stability Con-

trol across the range. “It represents outstanding value for the LT, which comes fully loaded with side steps, 16” alloy wheels, front fog lamps, leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth® and six speaker audio system with USB and iPod® connectivity. “With our Captiva range a proven performer in the family SUV sector, Colorado 7 taking up the challenge in the serious four-wheel drive market, and the new Trax SUV arriving next year, Holden will be in its best position yet to take advantage of the SUV sales boom.”
