Where’s Wally? On his ‘throne’ WHEN two teenagers hanging out in Somers on Australia Day heard that Australia’s music man of the moment, Wally De Backer, lived nearby, they headed off into the early evening to track down the man who won seven ARIA awards late last year and had just had his hit single Somebody That I Used to Know, elevated to be the No 1 song on Triple J’s hottest 100 songs of 2011. Would Wally, also known as Gotye, slam the door in their faces? Or would he be nice and ask them in for a cola? Turn to page 4 to find out what happened.

Pantry faces hard times By Keith Platt MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is scrambling to find an operator for the Pelican Pantry, the training cafe at its multi-million dollar recreation and aquatic centre in Hastings. The search follows years of losses at what was held as a shining example of public money being used to provide hospitality industry training for young people. The award-winning Pelican Park recreation centre opened in December 2003, but has annual losses of more than $700,000.

Pelican Pantry cafe lost $250,000 last financial year. Pelican Pantry has regularly been losing 50 per cent a year more than what was predicted in successive council budgets. The Pantry was dealt a massive blow in December when Chisholm Institute of TAFE formally withdrew from its training agreement with the shire. Senior council officers had known months earlier that the agreement with Chisholm was failing and had been actively looking for an alternative. On Monday night, councillors were

asked to sanction a further report to explore “a commercial project proposal/ framework for the Pantry; transfer of business implications for a commercial lease; and that further consideration is given to expanding existing ‘core’ training program”. Several ratepayer groups have been seeking information about the financial viability of Pelican Pantry, fearing it has been losing too much money. Freedom of Information requests finally revealed losses of nearly $1.57 million since 2005. Budgets presented to councillors and

ratepayers had underestimated these losses by about $1 million. The failure of the Pantry to maintain momentum is being blamed on severe cutbacks in state government grants, a lack of interest by young people, record levels of low unemployment, and jobs being offered at the new Bunnings store in Hastings. A report to council this week by recreation and leisure manager Peter Gore admits “absenteeism has also had an impact on Pantry operations over a range of programs that have been provided to support disadvantaged youth”.

$5

The report contains no profit or loss figures. With the failure of the Pantry the shire is looking to see if it can use lessons learnt from its other training and mentoring programs, which “target the same cohort as those at Pelican Pantry”. The programs include trainees in local government (5), tourism (8), conservation and land management (10), civil engineering (4), planning and business administration (4), local laws (8), aged and disability services (10) and 100 work experience students.

Western Port News now published weekly IT is with great pleasure that we announce the Western Port News will now be published weekly. It was five and a half years ago we decided Western Port deserved a better local newspaper. With the wonderful support of our advertisers, readers and supporters, we started down the path of providing such a newspaper. It has been a great journey that has seen Western Port News go from a monthly edition in black and white, with an initial print run of 3000, to full-colour weekly editions with 15,000 circulation. Hastings is the home base of our four newspapers, so it makes sense to take Western Port News first from fortnightly to weekly. From our small office in Hastings, we also produce the Southern Peninsula News, Mornington News, and Frankston Times. The four titles have a combined circulation of 2.6 million papers a year. We have been fortunate to find good staff on the journey. They are people who put in far more than they are required to do, on a daily basis, because they believe in what we are doing. Our sincere thanks goes to them. We must thank our advertisers, too. Their support and encouragement has made this all possible. Please continue to support them, as they support local news in your community. Cameron McCullough, publisher

New port five years away By Mike Hast CONSTRUCTION of the first stage of an expanded Port of Hastings would not start for four or five years, says the new head of the board charged with bringing the project to reality, Yehudi Blacher. Mr Blacher and other members of the authority met for the first time at lunchtime on Wednesday 18 January. Earlier, they visited the existing facilities at Hastings with Ports Minister Denis Napthine and Hastings MP Neale Burgess. On the Esso jetty at Long Island Point, near where the first of three stages will be built, Mr Blacher said Hastings was well suited to become Victoria’s second container port within 10 to 13 years. “There is natural deepwater access from Bass Strait, a port already here, and a large area of land already set aside for port development,� he said. Ports were critical elements of modern economies, he said. He was “absolutely confident� the expansion could be finished on time and on budget, but could not say how much it would cost. “There is extensive planning work to be done.� Mr Blacher said it was a big and exciting project, and there was a great advantage to starting the planning well before construction started in four to five years. The Port of Melbourne was the most significant container port in Australia, and expansion at Hastings would keep Melbourne at the forefront of national

exports and imports, he said. Dr Napthine said Mr Blacher brought a wealth of experience to the board and had served as a “senior public servant under Coalition and Labor governments for more than 20 years, including roles as the secretary for the Department of Planning and Community Development, and Department for Victorian Communities�.

Dr Napthine said the meeting brought together “the highly experienced team for the first time and would help set the agenda for the way forward, and had instilled a great level of confidence for the future of the project�. The minister said Hastings would serve the state for 50 to 100 years. “This is a nation-building project.� “Container movements are estimated

to quadruple over the next 30 years and it is critical that we begin planning for this growth now. “The port authority’s first task will be to begin the key social, economic and environmental studies that will underpin this important project.� When it started operating, one million TEUs would be moved each year, rising to two or three million after that,

Dr Napthine said. (A TEU, or twentyfoot equivalent, is a measure of capacity in container transportation as containers come in many sizes.) Dr Napthine said a challenge facing the Port of Hastings Development Authority board was freight and logistics. The board would work with the government’s Department of Transport to get the right mix of road and rail transport, he said. Neale Burgess said 4000 jobs would be created when all three stages were operating. The figure comes from a 2009 study prepared for the previous, Labor government by the Port of Hastings Corporation, which was disbanded in 2010. “One of the most important roles of a state government is to create jobs,� he said. An expanded port would bring jobs and money into the community, he said. Mr Burgess conceded some people would be nervous about the effect on the Western Port environment of an expanded port. Dr Napthine said the channel in Western Port to the stage one site between the Esso and BlueScope jetties was 14.3 metres. “There will be a little bit of dredging needed near the quays,� he said. The state government this year will ask the federal government for money for Hastings port.

Finding music man of the year TEENAGERS Brock Woolley and Jesse Aldenhoven were hanging out at Brock’s place in Somers on Australia Day listening to the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2011. They heard that Gotye, aka Wally De Backer, had the No 1 song, Somebody That I Used to Know, and his album Making Mirrors had been awarded album of the year at the 2011 J Awards. Brock’s mum Lisa Roberts heard the boys raving about Gotye and said as a throwaway line: “I’ve heard he has a place nearby.” That was enough for the 14-year-

olds: they grabbed their longboards and skated down the road, looking for Wally’s place. It wasn’t hard to find as Wally and his girlfriend Tash were holding a party, and the line of cars filling the street and loud music were a bit of a giveaway. When they arrived at the house soon after dark, their teenage bravado faded. “We couldn’t just walk in, could we?” Brock told The News the day after their big adventure. “So we skated down the street some distance and came across some lounge chairs that someone had put next to the

road for anyone to take. Jesse said to me half-joking ‘we should take a chair to Gotye and present it to him for winning the music awards’.” The boys agreed it was a crazy plan, but loaded the best chair onto their longboards and pushed it back to Gotye’s place. They waited for some time, working up the nerve to go in and find the man of the moment. Two guests were leaving the party and asked them if they wanted to see Gotye, encouraging them to go up and knock on the door, which they did.

The teens were invited in by Wally and Tash, and were soon in the backyard chatting with Gotye. “We chatted for 30 minutes out the back,” Brock said. “He was not what we expected.” Brock, an aspiring drummer, and Gotye talked drums. “He’s a great guy; just a normal Aussie bloke . He was dressed in shorts, T-shirts and thongs,” Jesse said. The boys agreed Gotye deserved his awards. They started listening to his music about two years ago and are big fans.

When it was time to leave, they remembered the chair out the front. “We’ve got something for you,” they told Gotye. Wally was very surprised and thanked them, but politely declined their offer although he was happy to try it out. Jesse took a photo of Brock and Gotye, to prove to family and friends their expedition wasn’t just a fantasy. The photo has pride of place on Brock’s Facebook page. And the chair? It’s in Brock’s room. Mike Hast

GOTYE is the man of the moment in Australian music. He’s been writing and recording for more than 10 years, but last year hit a sweet spot with a much-praised album Making Mirrors and its much-played single, Somebody That I Used to Know, featuring New Zealand songstress Kimbra. Gotye’s real name is Wouter “Wally” De Backer and his stage name comes from the French translation of Wouter – Gaultier, his mum’s nickname for him. The multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter made the wider music industry sit up and take notice when he was nominated for seven ARIA Awards last October for Somebody That I Used to Know. He and his creative team won six of seven, including three “artisan” awards – best video (Natasha Pincus), engineer of the year (Francois Tetaz) and producer of the year (Wally De Backer). Gotye was nominated for highest selling single, single of the year, best pop release, best male artist and three awards in the ARIA Artisan category: best video (Natasha Pincus), engineer of the year (Francois Tetaz) and producer of the year (Wally De Backer). When the nominations were announced, the winners of the artisan categories were declared, with Gotye and his associates winning all three. On 27 November, Gotye won three ARIA awards – for single of the year, best male artist and best pop release. Music critic Dom Alessio wrote: “Wally De Backer is arguably the most inventive pop songwriter in Australia at the moment. His songs manage to be both infectious and inspired, packed with textures, instruments and melodies that catch your ear. The attention to detail on his third album is something to be marvelled at.”

“the current dwelling with 15 high density units”. “Unfortunately this type of high density living is proposed among properties that measure 700 square metres and more (mostly acreages) and directly across from a green wedge zone. “Because of this proposed development, properties that are currently trying to sell cannot do so due to the knowledge of what may be built on 75-77 Hendersons Road. This also means that the values of our properties are likely to devalue as a result.” The letter stated that high-density living “brings destruction of environment that otherwise harbours the wildlife that we currently enjoy, it brings more residents and not always the quiet peaceful type that are not going to complain about our current lifestyle that we currently enjoy; new tenants might not tolerate what we currently accept as normal and enriching to our lifestyles, like barking dogs, crowing roosters, ride-on lawn mowing, and noise of machinery”. “Once this type of construction begins it will then lead to other development of the same nature.”

Tourism’s high hopes for Cairns RYE Ward councillor Bill Goodrem is likely to be in Cairns next month, representing Mornington Peninsula Shire at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards. The four-day trip will cost about $1800 for flights and accommodation, below the amount that Cr Goodrem can claim from the delegate conferences and seminars account. During his term, Cr Goodrem has spent $6486 on conferences and seminars. Cr Goodrem was invited to the awards, which run from 2-5 March, as council’s representative of Mornington Peninsula Tourism (MPT). Joining Cr Goodrem at the awards will be the shire’s economic development manager Shane Murphy, tourism executive officer Alva Hemming and a tourism officer.

MPT is entered in the Specialised Tourism Services category, which it has won twice previously. A third win will see it inducted into the hall of fame. The organisation won this category at the Victorian awards in November and is competing against the other state finalists. Other tourism operators from the Mornington Peninsula that won at the state awards were Max’s at Red Hill, Montalto, Moonraker Dolphin Swims, Big Blue Backyard, Peninsula Hot Springs, Enchanted Maze and Blue Moon Cottages. All are entered in the national finals except Peninsula Hot Springs, which does not qualify for a category at the national awards. Keith Platt

BITTERN residents are opposing plans for 15 units to be built at 75-77 Hendersons Rd. Nearby resident Anthony Barling said the proposed development was opposite land reserved as a green wedge, was too dense and would cause parking problems. However, he predicted stopping the units “will be a tough fight” as the land was zoned residential. He said units were provided with single-space garages and there were not enough car parks for visitors on the site. “Cheap units could mean an influx of people who are not doing so well,” he said. Mr Barling said trees being removed from the L-shaped, 6000-square metre site were the first indication nearby residents had about any development. A hurried meeting on Sunday had attracted about 20 people (pictured) who had readily signed a letter of objection. A letter circulated to residents of Hendersons and Creswell roads said the developer wanted to replace

Finding out: Ann Hollingworth, Bishop Peter Hollingworth, Baillieu Myer and organiser Dizzy Carlyon were among those who attended a morning tea to find out about refugees and the disadvantaged.

Benefits to giving: Peter Winneke helps guide those wanting to assist others through philanthropic trusts.

Tea at winery draws a crowd for the displaced IT might seem a world away from that of refugees struggling to reach the Australian mainland or those being helped by the Brotherhood of St Laurence, but their welfare was the main topic last week at Elgee Park winery in Merricks North. Owners Baillieu (“Bails”) and Sarah Myer hosted a morning tea for the brotherhood, featuring human rights and refugee advocate Julian Burnside, philanthropy promoter Peter Winneke and the brotherhood’s executive director, Tony Nicholson. Organiser Dizzy Carlyon said the three speakers were inspirational and left their audience “with much to think about”. The Thursday 19 January event was

a sellout, with profits going to the brotherhood. Ms Carlyon said that Mr Burnside had “helped us to see the wood from the trees” on the “emotive and often confused issue” of refugees. Acknowledged as a national treasure, Mr Burside has acted pro bono in many human rights cases, particularly in relation to the treatment of indigenous Australians and refugees. He set up the Spare Rooms for Refugees and the Spare Lawyers for Refugees groups, for which he was awarded the Human Rights Law Award and more recently the Australian Peace Prize. Mr Winneke, who heads philanthropic services at the Myer family company, had removed some of the

mystery of philanthropy making it “seem quite a normal addition to everyone’s to-do list”. “Maybe one or two problems for some of us will be solved with your guidance as we discover the power of giving,” Ms Carlyon said. Mr Winneke left the corporate world after 16 years spent “making wealthier people even wealthier”. His holidays were spent backpacking in developing countries and he joined the Myer company after “struggling to find a more meaningful way to continue his working life”. “He realised he could use his professional skills to foster the embarrassingly small philanthropic sector and help people learn the rewards and joy

of giving back,” Ms Carlyon said. Mr Nicholson’s talk covered the activities of the brotherhood over the past 80 years, including with disadvantaged people on the Mornington Peninsula. “For the past 30 years, Tony has drawn on his professional qualifications and experience to dedicate his professional life to improving the conditions of those living on or close to the edges of society,” Ms Carlyon said. “His expertise in understanding the needs of Australians experiencing homelessness led to his appointment in January 2008 as chair of the federal government’s steering committee for the development of its White Paper on Homelessness.”

Speaking out: Brotherhood of St Laurence executive director Tony Nicholson.

Problems at the Pantry Continued from Page 1

“There is an opportunity for the shire to consider building on the strengths of these programs given the training model at the Pantry appears unsustainable or requires significant increase in subsidy levels without guaranteed student numbers,” Mr Gore said. He said a cafe/restaurant “would not be considered shire core business and accordingly, if it were to operate as a stand alone cafe, a commercial tender for future operation may be considered appropriate”. Although it is a non-commercial enterprise, efforts by ratepayer groups to

gain access to two reviews of the performance of the Pantry have been stymied by the shire claiming the information is commercial-in-confidence. Mr Gore said that in the past eight years the Pantry had provided “significant training opportunities for over 400 individuals” with “a number” gaining “sustainable employment through an opportunity that might normally not have been available to them”. Training alternatives being considered would cater for just 10 trainees a year, well under earlier targets of 30 trainees. “In essence, the training models considered in this report will be difficult to

sustain over a period of time and may not be as cost effective as other core training programs currently offered by the shire,” Mr Gore said. “The requirement to supplement trainee positions with casual staff has had a significant negative variance on wages and expenditure projections for the 2010/2011 Pantry budget.” Figures provided under Freedom of Information reveal casual wages had blown out by $94,000 to $209,646 while overtime payments came in at $23,347 as opposed to the $6006 projected in the budget. A further $4465 was attributed to “agency labour”.

Tables in waiting: Mornington Peninsula Shire is looking to stem losses at the Pelican Pantry cafe in Hastings.

Award for cancer crusader By Keith Platt TIME out for Jo Lovelock is riding her Suzuki 600 road bike. She has also taken time out riding a Harley-Davidson from Brisbane to Sydney and another motorbike across the snow- and mud-covered mountain passes of India. The longer rides raise money and awareness to combat breast cancer. A motorbike rider in her student years, Ms Lovelock again sought the freedom of the road following a 20plus year break after being treated for breast cancer. A lump the Mt Martha mother of three found in her breast while getting ready to go out just before Christmas 2002 was confirmed as cancer on New Year’s Eve. The year that followed involved a lot of soul searching, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As a long-standing nurse and midwife, Ms Lovelock was no stranger to medical procedures, but being a patient brought its own stresses. Not one to feel sorry for herself – “what you see is what you get with me” – Ms Lovelock, however, did have times when the cycles of chemotherapy seemed too much to bear. “Andrew [her husband] just sat me down and said ‘you know what not going means’ so I went.” Like many adverse situations, undergoing cancer treatment had an upside. In no time at all, Ms Lovelock was being given strength from the support of other women who had gone down the same path to survival.

Riding out the storm: Mornington Peninsula’s 2012 Citizen of the Year Jo Lovelock spends much of her time helping women with breast cancer.

The disease, while potentially fatal, opened up a new life to Jo Lovelock and is one she still pursues today: helping women with breast cancer. She is a member of support organisations and is first to put up her hand to speak about breast cancer to community and service clubs. Fundraising for cancer research and treatment has taken her interstate and overseas, including the exciting motorcycle trips. It seems just as cancer cells proliferate and gain strength in numbers, so too do people who want to ease the burden of those facing the disease.

Jo Lovelock is this year’s Mornington Peninsula Citizen of the Year, in recognition of her compassion and volunteer work. “I was told about the award two weeks ago and was very surprised and humbled,” she said two days before the Australia Day announcement. “I don’t think I’m special, just lucky.” The award nomination was made by Marg Joyce, also a breast cancer survivor, and Ms Lovelock’s supervisor in the maternity ward at The Bays Hospital in Mornington. Ms Lovelock sees her greatest

achievement as “our children, Sam, 22, Tom, 20, and Katie, 18”. Ms Lovelock says she does not get depressed by continually being confronted by so many women with breast cancer “but I need time out”. It will come as no surprise to those that know her to learn that Ms Lovelock’s most recent ride was combined with visiting a Sorrento woman diagnosed with breast cancer. “I understand women’s frustrations and that they get scared when first diagnosed,” she said. “We end up being able to laugh about really horrible things. “It was the surgeon who first got us together and we met at our various homes. We laughed and cried, we all had issues. “From there we started the Breast Intentions group, which now has 120 on its mailing list and we regularly get about 18 women to the meetings. New people are added to the list each month.” Ms Lovelock puts her cancer down to “just bad luck”. “There’s no real evidence that stress causes it, but many people diagnosed with cancer have had a stressor. “In my case, my mother had bowel cancer and my father pancreatic cancer, so it’s probably in my genes. “A positive diagnosis definitely gives you a wake up call.” That call for Ms Lovelock has given her a new appreciation for life and a friend for life for many other women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Shire names top citizens THE winners of the 2012 Mornington Peninsula Shire Australia Day local awards were announced as part of the Australia Day citizenship ceremony in Rosebud on Australia Day, 26 January. Citizen of the Year was Joanne Lovelock; Young Citizen of the Year Fiona Sanford; and Community Event of the Year was the Australia Day fun run at Rosebud. The mayor, Frank Martin, said the awards “recognise people and events that have made a significant contribution to our local community”. “Joanne receives the award in recognition of her contribution to the local community and overseas through breast cancer care and awareness.” Young Citizen of the Year Fiona Sanford, in year 12 at Mornington Secondary College, received the Pierre de Coubertin Award for showing academic excellence and sporting prowess “while exemplifying the Olympic values”. She was also one of eight young people to participate in the Beijing Youth Forum. The Australia Day fun run is coordinated by volunteers and supports the community. The event attracts more than 1300 participants and a crowd of about 5000.  Frankston’s Citizen of the Year is Gwen Dearsley, 82, and Young Citizen of the Year is Kimberly Pellosis, 18. Both women fight for causes they believe in and volunteer for their community. Mrs Dearsley is known for her work on committees associated with aged care services. Ms Pellosis has been Frankston High School’s environment committee leader.

Cash for Briars

Western Port’s No.1

Newspaper

Western Port

A GRANT of $20,000 from the state government will pay for conservation work at The Briars Park in Mt Martha. The money was announced by Mornington MP David Morris. He said the work would include repairs to the laundry, dairy and apple store, and was essential for the ongoing conservation of one of the earliest pastoral properties on the peninsula. Mr Morris said the property had a high educative potential and works would assist in the interpretation of the farm. The works would include replacement of gutters and downpipes, repointing and removing salt-affected brickwork, excavating ground levels, timber repairs

and repainting. Briars volunteers and trainees would undertake less specialised works such as excavation. The Briars run was taken up in 1840 and buildings erected from the mid-19th century by Alexander Balcombe. About 17 of the original 40 buildings remain. The property is owned by Mornington Peninsula Shire and is regarded as one of the state’s heritage treasures with its restored 19th century buildings, open woodland and wetlands. The homestead has been refurbished and is a museum with items from the Dame Mabel Brookes Napoleonic Collection. The outbuildings house a collection of machinery.

Bonus for Briars: The Briars Park head ranger Steve Yorke and Mornington MP David Morris outside the dairy and laundry, built in the 19th century.

Training to help out in the surf By Keith Platt IT might take 30 volunteers to give one person with a disability the chance to feel the power of a wave, but the effort is worthwhile. Putting “smiles on dials” is what members of the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association of Australia aim to do in March at Point Leo. Volunteers stand in the water in a double line so they can safely channel the progress of a specially designed surfboard all the way to the beach. The smiles on the faces of the boardriders make up the rest of the story. Training for volunteers who want to help out in March will be held at Point Leo 9am-2pm on Saturday 4 February. Volunteers will receive enough instruction to

reach the Level 1 DSA Train the Helper certificate necessary for the March event. A free barbecue lunch will be provided and volunteers need to take their boardies, wetsuit and booties. DSAA is the only Australian surfing organisation with charity status and run by volunteers. Since being formed 26 years ago it has given thousands of Australians with a disability the chance to have a happy and safe surfing experience. Most DSAA-run events involve about 200 people – participants, carers and volunteers – although some of the 14 branches (including New Zealand) attract twice that many. The Mornington Peninsula branch is the second in Victoria and follows one at Ocean Grove.

Catering for the full disabled spectrum, from mild to severe, including neurological, psychological and physical (whether genetic or acquired), the DSAA has set world’s best practice when it comes to surfing for disabled people. Its minimum number of volunteers to each participant ratio is 6:1, operating only in waist-deep water in broken waves. Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club has offered its facilities for the training day and the committee of the branch is seeking sponsors to help run events and provide more equipment. To help, potential sponsors or volunteers can visit www.disabledsurfers.org or call Ash Gardner on 0417 362 983.

Make a family fire plan is key message By Mike Hast MESSAGES to prepare for a dangerous fire season have been flooding out since November. Authorities are predicting grass fire danger will be high this season, and the Mornington Peninsula is vulnerable due to its wide open paddocks, reserves and national parks. Average or above-average rains for more than 18 months have seen vigorous growth of grasses and under-storey plants. A key message from the CFA, SES, DSE, state government and local governments is for people to prepare a fire plan. The message to prepare, stay and defend has been dumped in the wake

of the devastating Black Saturday fires of 2009. When launching Fire Action Week, the government said that on a Code Red day leaving early was the safest option. Premier Ted Baillieu said: “Your fire safety is your responsibility – the only person who can guarantee your safety is you.” He implored Victorians to do the most to minimise their risk and maximise their survival this fire season. “Ask yourself seriously – are you ready to act if there was a fire today? “There are tools and information available to help you and your family stay safe, but it’s up to you to use them.”

Hospital’s car park extension FRANKSTON Hospital is building a $12 million multi-storey car park that will create 431 additional parking spaces for patients and visitors. “Parking problems are the biggest cause of complaints at Frankston Hospital and the new structure will make it easier for patients and visitors to find a car space,” the hospital’s executive director, Brendon Gardner, said. The new car park would be built in two stages on the existing visitor car park and helipad area. “The construction plan has been purposely split into two stages so that available car parking space is maximised and minimal disruption will be caused to those visiting the hospital,” executive director of planning, infra-

structure and information technology Simon Brewin said. “Once construction on the new complex is complete, the hospital will have close to 900 public car spaces available to visitors and patients, creating improved traffic flow and accessibility to the site,” Mr Brewin said. During construction, the Ambulance Victoria helipad will be at Delacombe Park in Frankston South. “Frankston Council, the Air Ambulance division of Ambulance Victoria and Peninsula Health have all agreed that the area directly behind the Frankston South Recreation Centre in Delacombe Park is the best location for the temporary helipad,” Mr Brewin said.

“People who live in a high-risk area will need comprehensive advice for their plan and should call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667 to request a Bushfire Survival Plan contained in the Fire Ready Kit,” Mr Baillieu said. “But all Victorians should know, now is the time to gather all the advice you need to develop your fire plan, practise it and be ready before the start of the fire season.” Fire Action Week included the release of tools for personal fire planning, including a FireReady smartphone application, a Facebook page and the online version of My Plan, hosted on the Country Fire Authority website. “If you live in a bushfire-prone area on the city fringe or in regional Victoria, then having a plan to follow is essential,” Mr Baillieu said. “The My Plan tools and Traveller’s Checklist are new social media resources to organise personal and family fire plans. They can be completed at your own pace and updated with current warnings in your local area. “Discussing and writing down your fire plan is the most effective way to ensure your safety. Talking to family and neighbours, regularly revising your plan to take into account any changes to your circumstances and having a backup plan will ensure you are ready to act whatever the conditions.” Information for the fire season:  Online bushfire info session from 8-9pm on Tuesday 31 January. Talk with a trained FireReady presenter

About ‘Fire Danger Period’ A WRITTEN permit is needed to burn off grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation during the Fire Danger Period on the peninsula, declared on Monday 23 January. The permit is issued by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Municipal Fire Prevention Officer or the CFA district office. Lighting a fire in the open without a permit is an offence and can bring a penalty of more than $6000 and/or 12 months in jail. All burn-offs should be registered with the VicFire Burn-off notification line on 1800 668 511. Barbecues and fires for cooking and warmth do not require a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces (that is, metal, stone or concrete), not be used in strong winds, be three metres from other flammable material and be supervised at all times. The use of an incinerator, chainsaw, lawn mower, welding and grinding equipment, vehicles that come in contact with vegetation, and machinery with an internal combustion/heat engine are permitted provided guidelines are followed (details in ‘Can I or Can’t I’ on the CFA website or call 1800 240 667). A Total Fire Ban declaration means no fires can be lit for the declared district for that day – irrespective of the fire restriction status for a given municipality.  The CFA has rated as being at extreme risk during the 2011-12 fire season these Mornington Peninsula towns: Arthurs Seat, Blairgowrie, Main Ridge, McCrae, Rye and St Andrews Beach.

Lew still afloat as pool deal stalls RETAIL billionaire Solomon Lew might have lost the battle to keep his infinity pool, built on Crown land on Mt Eliza foreshore, but his boat (pictured far right) is a consolation. The craft is Mr Lew’s 45-metre ocean-going super yacht Texas, seen at anchor in Mornington harbour mid-January. In early January, Mr Lew and guests watched the annual Couta Boat Classic off Sorrento, the first big business deal day of the year, from his luxurious boat, believed to be worth more than $35 million. It sleeps 12 and has a crew of six plus the captain. A Mornington fisherman said Mr Lew was very friendly and had invited some curious people on board to inspect Texas, with its antique ceiling mirrors from France, European marble, an antique Chinese bureau stretching along an entire wall, and walls with gold-leaf base overlaid with cream paint designed to crack and show veins of gold. When not cruising around Port Phillip and the seven seas, Texas is moored at Victoria Harbour in Docklands. Mornington Peninsula Shire and Mr Lew still have not agreed terms for the demolition of the pool, to which the billionaire agreed in mid-December to avoid a court case. The shire is tight-lipped about why it has not yet signed off on the deal, refusing to answer questions from The News for more than a month. The private settlement will see Solomon Lew and his daughter Jacqueline Lew – co-owners of the property in Osprey Ave through a family company – pay for the pool’s removal as well as remediation of land that adjoins the holiday home. The Lews are expected to cover the shire’s legal fees and pay a fine. In return, the council has dropped negligence charges that were due to be heard in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 14 December. The settlement marks the end of the pool saga, which started last May when it was revealed the pool had been built on public land and without planning permits from the shire. Attempts by Mr Lew to buy or lease the land from the state government failed. Shire engineers inspected the pool and its retaining wall and declared it unsafe, fencing off a section of Moondah Beach below the cliff-top luxury weekender, which also has an indoor pool. Mike Hast

Big as Texas: Solomon Lew’s 45-metre long luxury super yacht in Mornington harbour last week. The boat was anchored off Sorrento in early January, providing a perfect vantage point for the billionaire retailer, family and friends to watch the annual couta boat races.

Bridge opening a relief for drivers THE first bridge built by Abigroup over the Peninsula Link freeway was opened at Robinsons Rd, on the border of Frankston South and Langwarrin, last Wednesday. The long-awaited bridge was opened by state politicians Edward O’Donohue and Geoff Shaw, and Bayside Christian College students Chantelle and Jacinta Harrison. It’s a relief for parents taking their children to the college as well as locals and commuters transiting Frankston South and Langwarrin who have been forced to use alternate routes over the past 12 months. Mr O’Donohue, the Parliamentary Secretary for Transport, said the bridge meant improved safety for “drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and school children”. “Peninsula Link is one of Victoria’s biggest freeway projects, and this is a huge milestone for the community and everyone involved in the project as we enter the last full year of construction,” Mr O’Donohue said. “It’s not just motorists celebrating the opening of the bridge – new traffic signals will provide a safe crossing for Bayside Christian College students as well as walkers and cyclists using the new Peninsula Link Trail.” He said about 9000 vehicles use Robinsons Rd every day, “so parents can take comfort in this better and safer access to school for their children”. Mr O’Donohue said the bridge would give the community its first glimpse of the unique architectural freeway design.

Bridge of signs: Long shot of the bridge looking west toward Golf Links Rd.

“[The freeway] has a striking urban and rural design, which is highlighted in the workmanship of the bridge,” he said. “The bridge parapets include a ‘geology’ rock pattern, which is featured throughout the project, and yellow railings make the project stand out and add to the character of the region.” Frankston MP Geoff Shaw said Robinsons Rd was closed “so these works could be done with minimal impact on the surrounding environment, so it’s great that the road is now open again”. Hastings MP Neale Burgess, who could not be at the opening, said the “community could expect to see enormous progress along the 27-kilometre route throughout 2012” with opening on track for early 2013. “It’s all systems go on the construction with asphalting to commence in the very near future,” Mr Burgess said. “Robinsons Rd is the first of many bridges set to be completed over the coming months” and would be followed by bridges at Skye, Golf Links, Bungower and Mornington-Tyabb roads. He said the bridge’s footpaths would be extended along the north side of Robinsons Rd toward Heatherhill Rd. The first bridge over Peninsula Link was the one at Lathams Rd in Carrum Downs, built by BMD Constructions, and started before the state government awarded the freeway building contract to Southern Way, a consortium of Abigroup, Lend Lease, and Royal Bank of Scotland.

CFA warns on children in cars THE Country Fire Authority has issued a warning about the dangers of locking children in cars. A spokesman said statistics show that on a 20 degree day, the temperature inside a car can rise by 75 per cent in just a few minutes. “The danger of being left alone isn’t just limited to children getting overheated; leaving the car running and the air-conditioning on doesn’t make your child any safer, even if it is just for a few minutes,” he said. “Your child might be abducted, put the car into gear or get caught in a closing power window. “Locking children in cars can be life threatening, especially on warm days. It can only take a few minutes for a child locked in a car to become seriously ill due to heatstroke or dehydration and in some cases die. What to do if your child is locked in a car 1 Do not panic – keep calm and think clearly. Think about what you can do, rather than focusing on negative thoughts. Put on a brave face to your child; if your child sees you distressed, they will become distressed. 2 Take note of the time. It seems time stands still during an emergency. If you are aware of how long the car has been locked, you will know how long you have before a window must be broken. 3 Call 000 and the RACV on 13 1111. If you don’t have a mobile, ask to use someone’s. 4 Cover windows with blankets or tarps, and the roof if you can get enough blankets. Do this quickly. The heat and light entering through the windows is absorbed through the roof and causes the temperature in the car to rise rapidly. Covers will help slow the rate of temperature increase. 5 Break a window, but only with planning and extreme caution. This should be done as a last resort as glass can spray everywhere. Break the window furthest from the child. 6 Once your child is out of the car, rehydrate

and slowly cool them. Ensure you don’t chill the child. Give them plenty to drink. Liquids should be at room temperature. Very cold liquids can make an overheated child sick. A cool washcloth is fine, but a cold one can cause more problems. Take off their shoes and clothes. See a doctor or paramedic if you are concerned. 7 Are you OK? Take some deep breaths, and if you’re still too shaken up to drive, ring a family member or friend who can help you and your children get where you need to go. Don’t be scared to ask for help. 8 Treat the incident as a learning experience. Don’t blame yourself, but rather reflect on ways that could prevent it from happening again. Tips to avoid locking your child in a car  Always take your children with you – even if you will be away from the car for just a few minutes.  Never give your keys to your children; put on the car seat or in the ignition.  Never let children play in unattended or unlocked cars.  Make sure all children are out of the car before locking.  Keep a spare key in a magnetic box under the car or in your purse or wallet.  Hook keys to your clothing, bags or stroller.  Don’t close the car door until the keys are in your hand.  Warn your kids about playing in the car without adult supervision.  When you arrive home, get the children out of the car before worrying about the shopping.

OBITUARY

Farewell to Norm – By Peter McCullough and Vic Jeremiah BALNARRING Hall was packed on 4 January for the memorial service for Bittern identity Norm Jack. One day in early November 1923, a horse-drawn jinker rattled along Coolart Rd from Bittern to Somerville hospital. Aboard were Hector (always known as “Biddy”) and Edith Jack. Shortly after reaching the hospital, William Norman Watson Jack was born. It was 5 November, Guy Fawkes Day, which was widely celebrated in those days. Norm, as he was known, was the only child of Biddy and Edith; he used to explain this situation as his parents “not wanting to mess with perfection!”. The first family home that Norm knew was “Springfield”, a farm opposite Emu Plains racecourse on Coolart Rd, Balnarring. Norm grew up there and either walked or rode his bicycle to Bittern State School. This was the school (number 3933) that his mother, Edith Ann Hurley, had attended and which his sons and grandchildren would also attend. The family moved to “Kerry Brae”, a 14-acre (5.6-hectare) farm in Bittern, when Norm was 14. That year Norm left school to work as a rouseabout on his aunt’s farm, “Clondrisse”, at Flinders. Norm rode his bicycle from Bittern to Flinders; no mean feat for a teenager. Norm enjoyed riding and in later years would often ride to Frankston and, on occasions, Melbourne to see his cousin. After a time Norm started working with his father and uncle. The identical twin brothers, known universally as “Biddy” and “Blinker”, were fishermen in the summer and woodcutters in the winter. Norm had a host of stories about these two characters, especially their association with Hastings Football Club. Biddy was a handy footballer and sometimes won the “man of the match” award, but Blinker, who didn’t play football, would sit in the hotel bar afterwards and reap the rewards from grateful team members and admiring

fans. No one could tell them apart. (Biddy and Blinker have featured in several ‘Down Memory Lane’ columns written by the late Norm Francis, a regular feature of the Western Port News.) Norm often spent days at a time camping in a fishing boat with Biddy and Blinker as they fished Western Port and beyond, only returning when the fish boxes were full and ready for market. One place they anchored was San

Remo where they could shelter and sleep safely. They would carry their food wrapped in jumpers as there was no refrigeration. According to legend, Blinker would stir his tea with the tail of a garfish, so we can only imagine how rough “roughing it” really was. On nightfall, Biddy and Blinker would be out like lights, leaving Norm to suffer the deafening drone of their snoring. While the fishing and woodcutting might have suited the brothers, Biddy

wanted to see Norm in different employment so Norm at age 17 started training as a motor mechanic with Bert Taylor at his Hastings garage, where Norm worked for many years. Norm bought a motorbike to get to and from work. As soon as he turned 18, Norm thought he should go through the formality of getting a licence and went to Hastings police station. When Norm told the sergeant why he was here, the sergeant replied “Don’t bother with the formal test. I’ve seen you ride past plenty of times; you’re fine”. He wrote out Norm’s licence on the spot. Norm first played football for Balnarring before deciding to pull on the boots for Hastings. This was in the George Slocombe era when Hastings won a string of premierships and had many fine players such as the Coleman brothers, Albert and John. Accordingly, “man of the match” awards were hard to come by. Norm was passionate about Essendon and at an Essendon Football Club lunch a few years ago, he was talking to Kevin Sheedy when the subject of John Coleman came up. Norm was not a “big noter”, but he did casually mention that he had played alongside John in the early days. Sheeds gave Norm the look that says “I’ve heard it all before”: Sheeds probably hadn’t met anyone who hadn’t played with Coleman. Soon after, Norm bumped into Vic Jeremiah, the club’s historian and keeper of the John Coleman scrapbook. Norm asked Vic if he could look for a photograph of him and John Coleman, and Vic came up with the goods. At the next Essendon lunch, Norm had a quiet moment of satisfaction when he handed Kevin Sheedy a photo of the Hastings football team that included Norm and John. Norm cut quite a dash in his younger days and it wasn’t too long before he caught the eye of Miss Joan Isabel Stubbs, the very attractive and graceful daughter of the Bittern station master. Norm and Joan started courting when Joan was almost 18 and they married about four years later at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Gardiner. Norm said the extra time was to make sure that they were the ones for each other; it must have paid off as they had nearly 60 years together. The real reason for the delay was Norm had left Bert Taylor to begin his own car maintenance business. Many people will remember Bittern Motors in Crib Point on “BP” corner or, as it was more commonly known, “Normie Jack’s corner”. However this is not where it all began: in 1951 Norm started Bittern Motors on his parent’s property, “Kerry Brae”, in Myers Rd, Bittern. The first stage was a shed added to the old dairy to which further extensions were added. It is doubtful if there were any formal permits for any of the buildings, but around this time there was a fire in the shire offices, which virtually destroyed the permits section. Norm and a few other “amateur” builders were not saddened at the news. These humble beginnings were all Norm required to establish a business that became known for honesty and quality of work. There was not much that Norm could not repair or rebuild. This did not just apply to cars; with so many farms and orchards in the area, he needed to be not only a motor mechanic, but also a boilermaker and engineer.

Norm and Joan built their family home on the corner of Myers Rd opposite Norm’s parents’ property. Norm had bought the block several years earlier for 10 pounds ($20). About 15 years later they built in Mt Eliza where they lived for 10 years before moving back to “Cecile Brae” on the family’s original Myers Rd property. The original Bittern Motors had a timber ramp for servicing vehicles. This was outside under cypress trees. The garage also had a pit inside and a fuel bowser near the road. Norm had picked up a large, old compressor and an equally large and old welder; because of these two dinosaurs, Norm had to restrict his activities at nightfall as they drew so much current that the lights would go dim in the houses in the street. Norm soon outgrew the Crib Point premises and purchased a piece of land on Frankston-Flinders Rd from Jack Holmes, who was happy to excise a section of his farm. Norm built the new brick building himself with the help of many of his friends. The new garage was modern and spacious by comparison, and New Bittern Motors quickly became a busy workshop. Over the years Norm employed many motor mechanics and driveway attendants; they remained friends long after they had moved on. As the saying goes, “behind every good man is a good woman”, and Joan was never far away. While Norm was widely known for his skills in the workshop, the office was not his forte. Fortunately, Joan was able to take care of the books as well as attend to family matters. At New Bittern Motors, Norm was an agent for BP, but owned the garage lock, stock, and barrel. As part of his agreement with BP, the garage was repainted regularly in BP’s colours. During one of these repaints, the signwriter was busy painting “BP Bittern Motors” on the front of the canopy facing the road. When Norm went out to see how the job was progressing, he saw what was being done and told the painter to remove “BP” and replace it with “Norm Jack” as it was his garage and not BP’s. After several phone calls and some heated words, “BP” was removed. “Norm Jack Bittern Motors” remained on the front of the garage until Norm retired in 1977. This was an early retirement, due to a severe medical condition. Norm felt he had worked hard and long, and it was time for he and Joan to see as much of Australia as possible while he was still able. Even though Norm always seemed busy running Bittern Motors, he still found time for fishing and hunting. Norm was a keen duck shooter and enjoyed many trips with friends and family. On one trip to Ivanhoe in NSW, Norm and his mates were directed to a property called “Lignum Park”, where they would be allowed to do a little shooting. They arrived late, set up camp beside the creek and bedded down for the night. The next morning the owner arrived on horseback on the far side of the creek; he was not impressed with this mob squatting on his land. Norm didn’t see this as a major problem as the farmer was on the far side of the creek. They exchanged some words and the owner rode off. To everyone’s surprise, the next morning the farmer returned -- on their side of the creek. Fortunately, Norm and the owner, Bob Robertson, saw the

a jack of all trades

humour in the situation, and struck up a friendship that has extended into the next generation. Norm always enjoyed his trips to Ivanhoe and for many years the ducks and pigs were in no danger as it was the Robertson family that Norm went to visit. For these early camping and fishing trips, Norm seemed to have enough gear to set up a small town: he had purpose-built tables, trailers, barbecues, petrol fridges, even a duck plucker. There were food boxes, tents, poles, ropes, fishing boats, duck boats, generators and much more. No wonder he needed such a big shed to store it all. At one stage he converted an old Chev, named the “Hog Mobile”, for pig shooting. After Norm’s father Biddy died on his fishing boat Spina, Norm inherited the 35-foot (10.5-metre) double-ended carvel hull wooden boat on which he had worked as a youth. The hull was damaged at the bow, so Norm began the job of repairing, modifying and updating the boat. Norm needed to learn a new set of skills to work on a timber boat, but he had plenty of friends to provide help and advice. The whole process took up much of Norm’s precious spare time over a few years, but the result was worth the effort. For many years, Norm, his family and friends enjoyed days fishing or just being out on Western Port on a beautiful day. Maintaining a large timber boat is an onerous task even for a young man so Norm decided to sell his beloved Spina about 10 years ago. Spina, built in Mordialloc in 1920 for the famous Defina fishing family of Hampton, is now owned by fishing charter skipper Glen Harvie and still can be seen chasing fish in Western Port. When Norm retired he and Joan started to plan and take many trips to see as much of Australia as they could. Once Joan asked Norm if he would like to go overseas. “No. Been to New Zealand. That was enough. Too much to see here yet,” was Norm’s response. When they hit the road, they could be gone for months at a time. The Jacks travelled on their own a lot, but also shared enjoyable trips with Albert and Joy Coleman, Jack and Nancy

Hobson, and other friends. In contrast to his hunting expeditions of earlier days, Norm and Joan perfected the art of travelling light: one Holden panel van (V8, of course), one mattress and some curtains, minimum cooking equipment, an Esky, two deckchairs, and a card table. And a small tent, set up only once during their many trips. They would pull up at a destination, put the tailgate down, set up the gas cooker, and dinner was on the way. It must have worked well as they didn’t change the formula for years. Eventually the panel van was replaced with a small camper van; even Norm realised that camping in the back of a panel van would have been asking a bit much of Joan. Once retired and with a few trips behind him, Norm’s health didn’t deteriorate further. Never one to sit and do nothing; it was time to get into some work again. Firstly, with Max Tolson at the so-called “Nerve Centre” at Crib Point where he even operated the cranes on occasions, and then with Lloyd Hately for welding and fabrication work, plus a steady stream of people who wanted equipment made or repaired. Norm’s expertise also was needed by his sons, Peter and Ian: there were businesses to start, sheds to be built and houses to renovate. Norm Jack was known in the district for a host of reasons: through Bittern Motors, work, family, friend, employer or through fishing and hunting. He was instrumental in starting the Westernport Gun Club and was an active member of Bittern Rural Fire Brigade for decades, including many years as an officer. Norm was “old school” -- if he said he would do something, it would be done. He was truly one of nature’s gentlemen. Norm is survived by Joan, Peter and Ian, daughters-in-law Judy and Julieanne, and grandchildren Charlie, Laura, Ellie, Angus and Isabella.  Compiled with the assistance of Norm Jack’s elder son, Ian.

Hooked seal is healthy – DSE By Keith Platt WILDLIFE officers have decided against trying to remove a hook embedded near the mouth of a seal that has been calling Rye pier home. Fishing line attached to the hook is wound tightly around the seal’s neck. Department of Sustainability and Environment officers who caught up with the seal on Saturday believe it will be able to free itself without sustaining any permanent injury. “He’s in really good nick and will be able to free himself,” wildlife officer Stan Williams said. Judy Muir of Polperro Dolphin Swims said “we are experiencing the horror of multiple entanglements of seals”. “The abject attitude of some fishers is apparent when each day we clear the pier of discarded line and tackle.” Ms Muir said rubbish stuffed between pier planks “looks like stalactites from beneath”. “Our crew picks up rubbish every day, but we’re sick of it. “Some people have a complete disregard. They bring everything in and take nothing out.” Ms Muir said a “big promotion” was needed to show people that their waste

Finding ‘lost’ pets RESIDENTS whose pets go missing or who have found a pet after fireworks on Australia Day in Mornington and Rye can call the shire council on 1300 850 600, 5950 1000 or check online in the Lost Pets section of the shire website www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

was causing unnecessary cruelty to seals. “Why do fishing hooks and fishing lines need to be just about indestructible? Hooks used to rust or be destroyed by digestive juices, now they aren’t.” Mr Williams said two other seals among the colony living on the Chinaman’s Hat seal platform in southern Port Phillip were not so lucky, with one having a hook attached to a steel trace and another struggling with a piece of fishing net. Mr Williams said DSE officers would try to free the two mammals, possibly asking Melbourne Zoo to provide a dart so they could be immobilised. Mr Williams said seals would scratch at fishing line until it broke and often were able to remove small fishhooks. More worrying was the potential transfer of dog viruses to and from seals. “Just about anything that a dog can catch seals can, too,” he said. “Seals often come ashore for a complete rest after being at sea for a couple of weeks where they sleep with just half a brain awake. “We ask people to keep away and only contact us if the seals are obviously ill or injured. “If dogs get too close they can transfer viruses and if that was then taken to a colony we’d be in real trouble.” Anyone who sees an injured or sick seal can phone 136 186. Hooked: Tom Andrew of Polperro Dolphin Swims photographed this seal with a hook in its face and fishing line around the neck at Rye pier.

There is gas ducted heating throughout the home and a cosy open fireplace in the lounge. The house has a stunning undercover timber deck overlooking a large, well-grassed backyard.

There are also polished timber floors in the hallway. The remainder of the home is quite neat with three bedrooms, a small bathroom and an open-plan lounge and dining room. A timber deck has been added and from here you can step down to the backyard. The property is in a good location, with a primary school, Beach Street and Karingal Drive shops a few blocks away in either direction. With a bulk of the renovation already completed, the property could appeal to a seasoned renovator looking for their next investment project.

Golden opportunity

COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL

Major site investment

LOCAL industry will soon be gearing up for expansion of the Port of Hastings and this 2000-square metre (approx) block is a golden opportunity to secure a strategic site for a manufacturing or warehouse-style facility. The site has easy access to Frankston-Flinders Road and from there to Western Port Highway (formerly Dandenong-Hastings Rd). All services are available. The land is zoned light industrial, allowing for multiple uses, and a heritage survey is available.

RARELY are commercial properties of this size and scope presented for freehold sale. The site includes six individual showrooms with excellent occupancy history. Measuring 2200 square metres (approx), the six shops have dual access and main road frontage for high visibility. A total land area of 5200 square metres (approx) includes plenty of on-site parking.

Nothing fishy here

Get your just desserts

TOURING along Point Nepean Road, it would be hard not to notice the iconic Fed-Up Fish Cafe sign. This long-established business is well set-up and ready for a new owner to walk in and start trading. The cafe area is 150 square metres with seating for 70 people inside and 25 outside. There are two on-site car parks. The rent is $427 per week plus outgoings. The owners are moving to other business interests and are very motivated to sell.

I SCREAM, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream. Positioned outside a major supermarket in a vibrant shopping centre, this well-known and popular franchise business shows strong growth. It serves ice-cream, smoothies, shakes and other food lines.

SUPER SUMMER

SPECIALS ANYTIME Fitness of Somerville fits people’s busy schedule and on-the-go lifestyle. At the health club, members can exercise any time of the day or night using their own security access key card. That’s 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Anytime Fitness caters for male and female members of all ages and all levels of fitness. It is the gym for everyone, not just Barbie dolls and musclemen. No one wears make-up at this gym. The feedback from members of Anytime Fitness has been consistently positive. People who know their way around a gym have been impressed with the quality of the equipment while less

experienced gym-goers feel comfortable in the nonintimidating surroundings of the club and with how simple the equipment is to use. Also, the club has a lot of windows and a lot of space, which gives members enough light and air to thrive. The 24-hour convenience is a big selling point. Members with young families and 9 to 5 jobs are able to go in at 5.30am and still have breakfast with their kids before leaving for the day. Other members might work a late shift and like to get in a workout before heading home. Membership growth at the gym has been strong and staff hope that people will want to start a program to work off the excesses of the holiday season. But even though membership is growing

strongly, the club is far from full. Members can expect to get on the machine they want even at the busiest times. Anytime Fitness was featured on A Current Affair recently as one of the top 10 franchises. The gym found a spot in the magazine BRW as a fast 50 company and won the franchise section. It came seventh overall in the Smart 50 awards. There is convenient parking, personal training, private rest rooms and showers. With all of these perks and a happy environment filled with staff who care, there are no excuses not to outsmart your body. Anytime Fitness is at Centro Shopping Centre Somerville, 49-55 Eramosa Road West. Call 5978 0002 for details.

Welcome to

So m e rville

What to take on holiday WE all have needs and wants when we go away for a holiday, but sometimes the wants outweigh the needs by too large a margin. Let’s start by putting them into some order: Clothes: Consider the climate that you are travelling to and pack for that climate but also allow for some change in weather. Shoes: Take good walking shoes, a couple of pairs of good shoes and a pair of work boots. Toiletries: Take only what you need; if on a powered site most of the time you can take 240-volt items, but if not on a powered site don’t take those items. Towels and tea towels: You will need at least two sets of towels and tea towels if going for more than a weekend. Bed linen and pillows: Take two sets of bed linen and take your favourite pillow from home. Caravan boot: You will need basic tools (flat and Phillips head screwdrivers, small socket set, 2 adjustable wrenches (8-inch and 12-inch), pliers (standard and long nose), wirecutters, Stanley knife, electrical tape and duct tape (all in a small toolbox). Then look at packing two outside chairs, outside table, drinking water hose, sullage hose, broom and dustpan. An

outside annex mat is always handy, as is a bucket. Vehicle boot: Keep as much as you can out of the boot except for the normal items you usually have in there (plus extra water). Food: Normally you will carry breakfast cereal, bread, butter and some spreads. It is always good to buy groceries at the larger towns you go through, which means you always have fresh food. Water: If you are always stopping at caravan parks then water in the tank is just added weight (one litre is equal to one kilogram and most tanks hold 95kg). Carry a couple of containers of drinking water in the car boot for emergencies or

for a drink on the road. Then you can take whatever else you need, but remember the GVW (gross vehicle weight) of your caravan, and the towing weight and tow ball weight limitations of the towing vehicle. U-Tow Caravans can service your caravan, so give us a ring to arrange a suitable time and day. Come and have a look at our wide range of caravan accessories at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville. We can be contacted on www.utowcaravans.com, email utowcaravans@bigpond. com or phone 5978 0083 or mobile 0400 777 698.

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

HISTORY

A mysterious disappearance ONE of the many mysteries of the Hastings region is the disappearance of Dr Charles William Rohner in 1890, says Hastings-Western Port Historical Society president Shirley Davies. “Dr Rohner was our first resident doctor, and had a practice at his home opposite Prosser’s shop, now Hastings Museum,” she said. “He disappeared in early January 1890 and no record of his death or burial has been located to this day. “He was married and had a family, but was estranged from his wife. “Before coming to Hastings he was the doctor at Griffiths Point, now called San Remo. “Earlier he had a practice in Chiltern from 1859 to 1876, Hamilton 187679, Bright 1879, Benalla in about 1881 and Yarrawonga in about 1886.” Ms Davies said he came to Australia from New Zealand, but originally came from the Austria, Switzerland and Germany border region. “Dr Rohner and his eldest son, Charles Armin Rohner, were expert chess players. When he disappeared, his youngest son Emmanuel was only 11 years old. “It was known that just before he disappeared he had a large sum of money. “Some months after he disappeared, bones were found near Hastings and it was thought they were those of the missing doctor, but turned out to be from an animal.”

Can anyone solve the mystery? Did he stage his own disappearance (his wife and family were on their way to Hastings when he disappeared)? If you can help, contact Shirley Davies at Hastings Museum.

Historian visits DR Mark Scherer, the World Church historian of the Community of Christ, visited Hastings earlier this month. He was guest speaker at a Saints History Association of Victoria dinner at Frankston on 7 January. He enjoyed walking along the historic Hastings jetty and seeing the Fish Shed, both of which are to be restored, and visited Hastings Museum. The Community of Christ (then called the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) built one of the first churches at Hastings, in 1888. It had a high pitched roof that caused much comment at the time. It was moved to Frankston in 1952. Dr Scherer left Victoria to visit South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales.

Coffee and dolphins THE first of the popular morning coffees at Hastings Museum, corner of Marine Pde and Skinner St, is at 10.15am on Thursday 9 February. The subject is ‘Dolphin life’. All welcome, $5 a person. Bookings to Shirley Davies, 9781 1141, or secretary Ann Sullivan, 0448 023 287.

It was bring your own everything when camping at Merricks in the 1920s Merricks Beach, Christmas holidays, c. 1926 Each year, during the latter part of the 1920s, a group of friends came to camp on the cliff tops at Merricks. One of them, Arch Rowe, had been the young surveyor assisting Saxil Tuxen when the new development of Manly Beach (now called Merricks Beach) was being planned.

Enchanted by the area, Arch introduced it to his friends and the young men returned annually for their Christmas holiday at the beach. Camping was very basic in those days. The two young men in the picture are bringing their supply of drinking water for the day from the nearest fresh water supply – at the Merricks

store, a hike of two kilometres each way.  The Balnarring & District Historical Society can be contacted by phone 5983 5326 or email balhist@optusnet.com.au The History Room at the Balnarring Hall is open every Monday morning from 10am to noon. Anyone is are welcome to visit.

Keeping nasties at bay THE JAK Max “Terminator� Silent Insect Trap effectively controls mosquitoes, midges, flies and other flying insects indoors or out. Photocell technology means it automatically turns on at night so you’ll always be protected from nasty flying pests. The photocell switch can also be set for 24 hour use. Stylish in design, it can be placed on a table, hung in a tree or placed on the ground, making it the ideal insect solution for the house, backyard, patio or any outdoor entertaining area. With no pesticides or odours it is the perfect family safe

solution to problems with flying insects. A large concaved heating surface means the trap is slightly warmed to simulate the temperature of the human skin. A specifically designed reflector and funnel structure is coated with titatium dioxide, which produces carbon dioxide (CO2) to mimic the CO2 release of human breath. A powerful fan combined with optimal airflow design draws insects into the no-mess collection chamber. Key benefits include: ď Ž Photocell – automatically turns on when sun goes down (24-hour option also).

Cricket: my role in its downfall By Stuart McCullough IT was an object without peer. The Stuart Surridge cricket bat was right up there with a light saber in terms of sheer awesomeness. Indeed, had Luke Skywalker been clutching one of the Surridge family’s finest, he probably could have knocked Darth Vader off in half an hour rather than needing the best part of three whole films. Cricket games at school were always an ordeal and the trial began with the selection of teams. There is no indignity greater than watching as each of your classmates is chosen ahead of you. As the numbers dwindled, the belated sound of my name would send a surge of relief coursing through my veins. I was rarely last, but always a very great distance from first. In addition to hand-eye coordination, those at the top of the order had one thing in common – they had proper cricket bats. These were so much more than mere lumps of wood with a handle. They were absolute works of art. When they removed their cricket bats from their bags, it was like Arthur unsheathing Excalibur. Some of my mates preferred the Gray Nicholls bat, with its revolutionary weight-reducing “scoop”, but not me. I was only interested in a Stuart Surridge. At the time they seemed to cost a fortune and, frankly, there was little in the way I played to suggest this might be a wise investment. The SS was a very solid piece of sporting equipment. While West Indian cricketers could throw these bats around like toothpicks, to a nine year old, it was like

trying to swing a bag of cement. There was no greater test of primary school friendship than to ask to borrow the cricket bat of your classmate. Such requests were often met with a narrowing of the eyes and a shake of the head, as a quick assessment was undertaken

in which the benefit to the team was weighed up against the risk that a lack of skill might be contagious, possibly ruining the bat forever. Unless I wanted to use the cricket bat provided by the school – an anonymous piece of balsawood that sent

reverberations running up your arm when you struck a ball – I would have to bring my own bat. My first bat was a hand-me-down, which would have been all right if I’d had an older brother. Rather, the first bat I owned was handed down from a far greater height. It had belonged to my father and was the only bat at our entire primary school to have been classified by the National Trust. Time had turned it a ripe, brown colour. The grip on the handle was made of thread rather than rubber and, over the years, it had become as slippery as a pair of bad suit pants. Attempts to hoist the ball over the infield would often result in the bat escaping my grip and travelling at speed towards the forehead of whoever was standing at mid-wicket. My teammates took their revenge when we fielded: I was either placed so far away that I needed to catch a bus to get there, or so close as to defy the instinct for human survival. The position of “silly mid on” is something of an understatement. As far as I was concerned, this was a position better described as “human piñata”. Or, if you prefer, “target practice”. Cricket was such a serious affair. Kids lugged huge bags full of equipment to school and back, dragging them through the car park. There were pads, gloves, helmets and “boxes” – in spite of the fact that we were using a tennis ball and, truth be told, in primary school there’s not much to protect. I didn’t bother asking to borrow one. If you can’t borrow somebody’s bat, they’re unlikely to loan you their box. I never really enjoyed those matches.

I vastly preferred the games we played at home. Despite the numbers, we never divided into teams. It was always a case of one batsman versus everybody else. To this day, after family meals, there is a procession from the house to the back of the yard where the pitch lies waiting. When last I played, I was with my brothers, father and my nephews. It made me smile as I watched them haul their bags of gear across the paddock, before putting on pads, gloves and helmets. My turn to bat came when I took a catch, not because I was picked. I then disgraced myself by sending the ball sailing over into the paddock with the long grass, meaning that it could only be retrieved by sliding under an electric fence. Say what you will about cricket, but the addition of an electric fence adds a new dimension. The next half hour was spent walking up and down through long grass trying to find a brown ball rather than a brown snake. It gets the pulse racing in a way that regular cricket rarely does. I guess that’s the difference with family – there is no selection process. You don’t have to wait until somebody picks you. They accept you regardless. At the next family function, I’ll be sure to head up to the nets. I’ll pick up that old brown bat and do my best to belt the cover off a tennis ball. But whether I send it into the long grass or have a swing and a miss won’t matter at all. It’s being part of the game that really counts. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance VAN Halen, one of the most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, A Different Kind of Truth (Universal) in Australia on 3 February, four days ahead of the United States release. The first single from the album, Tattoo, is already receiving airplay across the country. A Different Kind of Truth is Van Halen’s first original studio album with singer David Lee Roth since the band’s multi-platinum album 1984. The band that gave us classic rock riffs like Runnin’ With the Devil, You Really Got Me, Jamie’s Cryin and Panama was recently described by the Los Angeles Times as “a force of nature” and “one of the flat out greatest rock bands on the planet”. Van Halen was inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, the band has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide. Van Halen joins an elite short list of two Diamond Award honourees in the history of the music industry. New Van Halen bassist is Wolfgang Van Halen, the 20-year-old son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli, and nephew of drummer Alex Van Halen.

Like his dad, Wolfgang is a multiinstrumentalist; in addition to bass, he plays drums, guitar and keyboards. With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Eddie Van Halen has been described as second only to Jimi Hendrix, undoubtedly one of the most influential, original and talented rock guitarists of the 20th century. He is ranked eighth in music magazine Rolling Stone’s 2011 list of the top 100 guitarists. www.van-halen.com www.facebook.com/VanHalen www.getmusic.com.au *** THE new Roman Polanski comedy

film Carnage (Sony Pictures) will hit the cinemas in March. A prizewinner at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, it stars Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C Reilly. The film is about parental differences. After two boys fight, the parents of the victim invite the parents of the bully to work out their issues. A polite discussion of child-rearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with the four adult revealing their true colours. None of them will escape the carnage. www.carnagemovie.com.au *** JOHN Cleese, star of Monty Python, Fawlty Towers and A Fish Called Wanda, performs at the Comedy Theatre, on 12 and 13 March.

Tickets from 1300 111 011. www.johncleese.com *** LIONEL Richie will release Tuskegee (Universal), his much-anticipated duets album, in March. Richie teams up with the likes of Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton and Jimmy Buffett. www.lionelrichie.com *** BETTER Than I Used to Be (Sony) is the first single from Tim McGraw’s new studio album Emotional Traffic, to be released in Australia next month. The country superstar has sales in excess of 400,000 units in Australia. McGraw will tour Australia with Faith Hill in March, performing at Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday 20 March. www.timmcgraw.com *** FOLLOWING the success of their debut long player in 2009, Melbournebased raw funk outfit Deep Street Soul is back with a full-length album Look Out, Watch Out. The now five-piece band, which welcomes vocalist Mighty May Johnston to the fold, has pulled out all the stops with this release.

There are some things in Rye that we put up with because nobody cares, like seeing a two-storey unit being built on every available hole in the ground. But really, the carnival is too much. We need half a dozen Eunice Cains here to force our council to get rid of it. A swimming pool? *** LIFE is strange, as always. Eight Australian soldiers on their way home were turned back after being caught drinking alcohol in Dubai; they were sent back to Afghanistan to be disci-

plined by their unit commander. All this while the fat cats (those who made the decision to send them there) are secure at home, pampered with all delights and pleasures, take their ease and follow there lusts, not giving serious thought to the intolerable miseries soldiers endure. *** TIME for my annual study of the seven deadly sins, namely sloth, greed, pride, gluttony, wrath, lust and envy. Sloth is under control with the help of our lovely home help ladies; similarly greed, although another premiership for Collingwood wouldn’t go astray; pride went down the gurgler when I took up acting; wrath can show its ugly face when football starts; lust and gluttony go hand in hand but sadly a memory now, and envy, easily the worst of all because it’s incurable, unless I watch the Academy Awards. The only other question I ask myself at this time is, as always, unanswerable, being “what is my personal sense of purpose in life?” Onwards and downwards. *** I COULD begin the year by listing some of Mizz Melody’s achievements, but I’ll cut to the chase and declare it’s

outrageous a Labor Prime Minister has done nothing, nor appears to have it on the agenda, to upgrade sole parents and unemployment benefits. Single adults get $130 a week less than I do as an old age pensioner. Being a fair-minded supporter of Mizz’s party, I’ll give her till the end of this year to right this unconscionable wrong. If not, I’ll vote for the Sex Party. Oops, I’m a duffer; I voted for them last time. I’ll vote for Sarah; Green Sarah. She’s cute. *** AUSTRALIAN health workers are bracing for increased levels of alcohol and drug abuse as the baby boomers hit their 60s and 70s. And, get this, Relationships Australia’s 2011 Indicator Survey shows that for those in their 50s and 60s, sexual satisfaction is improving. But there’s more. “One quarter of people aged over 70 are also sexually active.” That’s disgusting! *** THERE was a piece on 60 Minutes about all the beautiful ladies from the Ukraine wanting love from men of all ages all over the world. I don’t believe age is necessarily a relevant factor, but all I saw were men looking for sex, and women looking to escape their

A Grain of Salt THE first few days of January were intense. All heat, bodies, noise, mess – you name it. And then, on Sunday 8 January, I woke to pouring rain; so, so beautiful; relief, glaring me in the face. I stood outside my door, watched and listened; glorious sweet rain. Karma, greeting me with a smile. I said a prayer of thanks to God who genuinely loves all his children, as many of those children love God. I wondered why the children failed so miserably to love each other? We should be thankful for small mercies, unless you’re camping. I read Cr Tim Rodgers says Peninsula Link freeway will ease traffic congestion. That’s very funny. Relief and laughter; a double whammy. I feel better now. *** HAVE they gone yet?

By Cliff Ellen current situation and move to Australia. Nobody asked the women the allimportant question: do you like playing the poker machines? *** WITH the price of petrol varying by as much as 20 cents a litre during the weekly cycle, this advice from the RACV was well timed: “Hold off buying until the prices drop.” And “shop around for the best price”. Why didn’t I think of that? Why do pizza experts put down the Hawaian pizza? I love them. I think it was Francis Bacon who said words to the effect: nuptial love makes mankind, friendly love perfects it; but wanton love corrupts it. Damn. As I’ve been watching the passing parade, I rather fancied the wanton bit. “The heart will break, yet brokenly live on.” Byron. Keep smiling. cliffie9@bigpond.com

Joke!!! A man takes his rottweiler to the vet. “My dog is crosseyed. Is there anything you can do for him?” “Well,” says the vet, “let’s have a look at him.” He picks up the dog and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says: “I’m going to have to put him down.” “What? Because he’s cross-eyed?” “No, because he’s really heavy.”

Toyota’s advanced hybrid TOYOTA revealed its NS4 advanced plug-in hybrid concept vehicle at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The NS4 presents a Toyota vision for future mobility with a focus on connectivity and the human interface, the company says. Toyota engineers were challenged to design a new mid-sized concept for potential global market introduction by 2015. The NS4 concept is a dedicated plug-in hybrid, separate from the Prius family, designed with future mobility requirements in mind. “In this digital age, cars are becoming another spoke in the wheel of our electronic connectivity,” Jim Lentz, president and chief operating officer of Toyota Motor Sales USA, said. “NS4 demonstrates Toyota’s take on the human connection to the car with technology that considers both emotional and rational relationships, person-to-car and car-tosociety. “The continued success of our conventional hybrid vehicles has laid strong groundwork for market acceptance of future advanced technologies.” NS4’s advanced powertrain targets a next-generation Hybrid Synergy Drive plug-in system that is

smaller and lighter with improved fuel economy, better acceleration and longer electric range, while maintaining a short charge time. Sleek, futuristic styling The NS4 concept signals a new styling direction for Toyota, aimed at creating an emotional connection with consumers. Styling lines reflect a new take on aerodynamics with a low vehicle height and cabin-forward tilt. The distinctive open trapezoid grille is accented by a floating lower spoiler and wing-like daytime running lights wrapping around to a sculpted fender. Rear lamps wrap around the sides

of the vehicle to quarter sections layered into blistered fenders, while the rear lamp wings create a sharp edge and the effect of a rear spoiler. The A-pillars are ultra thin for improved driver visibility while maintaining roof-crush integrity. The roof-line profile, liftback design and powered swan wing doors create greater accessibility and efficient functionality. Increased connectivity The NS4 concept has a HumanMachine Interface (HMI) that is built around a multi-touch screen with the look and feel of a smart phone. Simple and intuitive, it conveys

information quickly with minimum distractions and maximum driver awareness. It will also direct airconditioning, audio, battery charge and navigation functions. HMI is even capable of ‘learning’ driver preferences and habits to anticipate driver responses in specific environments and situations. State-of-the-art safety features The NS4 introduces a next-generation pre-collision system with lane departure, rear-end and pedestrian collision-avoidance technologies designed to predict collisions under certain circumstances and help avoid them. Using millimetre-wave radar, stereo cameras and near-infrared beams, it can help avoid crashes by applying the brakes and manipulating steering. Adaptive driving beam headlights help prevent blinding glare of oncoming drivers and pedestrians at night. NS4’s pop-up bonnet structure automatically raises the rear of the bonnet to increase the space underneath, helping to reduce pedestrian head injuries caused by a collision with the front of the vehicle, within certain speed ranges. A blind spot monitor detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane and alerts the driver with indicators in the dash.

Motorcycle club clocks up 10 years HASTINGS Blue Light Motorcycle Club has clocked up its 10-year anniversary. The club operates under the banner of the Blue Light Association and started with 35 members for a trial period of three months. Many said it would never work. The club was started by people who saw a need for a motorcycle track in the area, and things moved slowly at first, but Hastings police saw the need for an area that would stop people riding dangerously beside the railway tracks, and this gave more strength to the idea. Finding land was a task, but BlueScope Steel recognised the need and offered the fledgling club eight hectares (20 acres) behind the BlueScope reserve off Denham Rd on an annual lease. With the interest and persistence of the volunteer members, the club has gone from strength to strength

with continued support of police and BlueScope. The club has been able to support other community groups financially, all due to riders paying $2 a day to access the track. It now has more than 300 family memberships, with many families having two or three riders. The club now has separate tracks for seniors and junior riders, undercover areas for spectators, barbecues, toilets, hire bikes and equipment. President Phil Adams said: “We are a family club, and do not promote racing but rather having a great time with family or friends. We have sleepover weekends and Christmas parties for younger riders.” Next joining night is Tuesday 7 February at the Hastings Club. RSVP on the club’s website at www.hblmcc.com

Dunbar creates sprint history at Rye Gift Photos and story Barry Irving CAM Dunbar is the first man to win two Rye Gifts in the 38-year history of the event. The 30-year-old first stood on the podium at Rye when he finished second in 2002. He then went one better by winning the prestigious event in 2004. With eight years of experience and training under his belt, Dunbar again beat the field, by a clear half stride, to win the Maw Civil and Hillview Quarries 120-metre Rye Gift, and pocket $2500 prizemoney and a trophy, on Saturday 14 January. The Ringwood Athletics Club runner ran off 7.75 metres to record 12.45 seconds. Second place Kevin Brittain ran off 5.75 in 12.50 with third place-getter Mark Hignett off 11.50 in 12.52.

The 120-metre Women’s Diamond, also sponsored by Hillview Quarries and Maw Civil, was won by Eleni Gilden off a handicap of 10.75 metres in a time of 14.325. Second was Kim McDonough off 13.00 in 14.372, and third was Nadia Domaschenz off 8.00 in 14.218. A crowd favourite, the footballers’ relay, was contested by Rosebud, Rye, Red Hill and Dromana. Run over three laps using a points system, Rye’s Brady Egan blitzed the field, but Red Hill filled the next three places to be the points winners, with Rye in second and Dromana third. The Rye Gift is run on the second Saturday every January, the first event on the VAL calendar each year, and attracts top athletes from clubs all over Victoria and interstate as well as overseas competitors.

Baxter Eagles recruiting girls and women

Eagles’ lair: Baxter Eagles president Colin Nicholson and Michelle Nicholson in the new club kitchen.

BAXTER Eagles Soccer Club wants to cash in on its $1.2 million clubrooms. The facility is the finest of any soccer club on the peninsula and has dedicated female changing rooms and showers, says club president Colin Nicholson. “Baxter is keen to increase its numbers at both junior girls’ and women’s levels,” he said. The seniors and reserves men’s teams established themselves in Provisional League Three South-East in 2011, their first season under the auspices of Football Federation Victoria. For some years prior, the club’s senior teams competed in the lower level Bayside League. This year Baxter aims to score both on and off the park. “The aim this year is simple – win promotion,” said senior coach Jim Morrison, former Langwarrin assistant coach. “Last year it was all about staying in the division and the club was pleased with our sixth-placed finish, but it’s important that the players know we could have finished higher. “We want to add a couple of experienced players to the squad and hopefully we can get players who know how to win.

“We’ve got a few players down already to pre-season training but I don’t want to name them at this stage.” The only potential signing that Morrison would name is ex-Langwarrin player Daniel Etheridge, who can play in a central midfield role or wide left. John Bookless has been appointed reserves coach and Eric Scott is coach of the senior women’s team. The junior part of the club is strong with teams from under-7 to under-18 levels but new players are always welcome. The main registration day is Sunday 12 February from 11am-2pm at Baxter Park. Registrations can be arranged now with early bird discount rates available. For details email Julie Henderson at registrar@ baxtersoccerclub.org.au “We’re a family-focused club,” club spokesperson Kelly Roberts said. “We want to see players developing their soccer skills in a positive and confident manner and we welcome players of all skill levels and ages.” Roberts also is organising function room hire for members, which includes use of the club’s licenced bar.

Hastings Firsts keep finals hopes alive HASTINGS First XI travelled to Ballam Park to take on the last-placed team, needing to win to keep in touch with the top four sides. Ballam Park was sent in to bat, with Issy Dias and Carey Sawosz opening the bowling. Keeping a great line and length, both claimed wickets, five in their nine-over and 12-over spells. Ballam was 5/50 with Dias taking 2/16 and Sawosz 3/42. Tim Birch and Luke Hewitt came into the attack and proceeded to run through the tailenders, dismissing Ballam Park for 91 off 36 overs. Birch took 4/6 off eight tight overs and Hewitt 1/19. Hastings batted in a positive manner with Hewitt hitting a quick 43. He was well supported by Scott Phillips with 48 and Josh Trevitt with a brisk 35no. Hastings declared after 31 overs on 5/144. Ballam Park had eight overs to survive, but again lost quick wickets to be 2/11 at stumps. Day two saw an early wicket fall, 3/13 then 5/41, before a 38-run partnership took the score to 6/79, 26 runs in front. The tail wagged a little to get the score to 111 to give Hastings a 59-run chase to gain the maximum 20 points.

As in the first innings, Dias with 5/35 off 20 overs and Sawosz with 3/28 off 14 overs were excellent. Birch, 1/24 off 14 overs, and Phillips 1/18 provided good support. Hastings made the required runs in quick fashion, in 12 overs to be 2/62 with Trevitt 23no and Phillips 22no. The win gives the team a realistic chance of playing finals, but it must win the last three games to sneek in. Hastings Seconds played Ballam Park at Hastings, and batted first, making a reasonable score of 9/182 off its 75 overs. Dylan Ryan was the best with the bat, making his first senior 50, while Steven Robb hit a quick 30, Jake Ryan a patient 19, Jason Slocombe 19, Wade Delahaye 18no and Andrew Brady 15. Ballam Park lost two early wickets to be 2/3 then had a 125-run third wicket partnership to be 3/131 at tea. Needing quick wickets to stay in the game, one fell at 143 off Jake Ryan’s bowling but Ballam had the momentum and cruised past the 182 to finish with 5/186. Steve Thomson bowled well, taking 1/29 off 15 overs, J Ryan took 2/29 off 11 overs, Aaron Wilson 1/3 and Matt Sawosz 1/4.

Hastings Thirds versus Balnarring (round 11): Balnarring batted first, scoring 10/141 off 39 overs. Under-15 player Kayne Lewis bowled brilliantly, taking 5/28 off his 10 overs, and Chris White chipped in with 3/33 off eight. Andrew Finn took 1/24 off nine and Stephen Lewis 1/29 off seven. Hastings batted poorly to be 2/6, then 4/37 before being bowled out for 97. Lewis was best with 31 and Morgan Darrer 23. Round 12 versus Delacombe Park: Hastings batted first on a very fast Frankston High School ground. With Pat Foy’s first hundred, 112, anchoring the innings, Hastings piled on the runs to make 7/289 off its 40 overs. Matt Foy, batting with his dad when Pat scored his hundred, made a valuable 29, White 28, Chris Marsh 28 and Finn 23no. Delacombe Park was exhausted after chasing leather and it showed when they batted, being dismissed for 137 after 32 overs. Kayne Lewis was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3/36 off 10 overs, Kevin Watson took 1/49 off 10, Marsh 2/29, Finn 1/13, Darrer 1/4 and Matt Foy 1/4. The win has the side back in second place on the ladder in a

very tight competition. Hastings Fourths played Flinders, which batted very well and scored 6/156 off 40 overs. Jason Kestle took 2/15, Liam Bradshaw 1/12 and David Hull 1/21. Hastings began well with the bat with Hull making 29 before being felled by a short ball, and Greg Bradshaw 51ret as the team lost its first wicket at 99. Jason Manby then hit a quick 24, Dan Lehmann 14 and Shaun Manby 13no to get the side over the line with 5/158 off 27 overs. Juniors: Under-15s versus Tyabb. Tyabb 5/147, Hastings replied with 10/116. Andrew Jeffs made an excellent 31 while Jayden Deas made 23 and Gordon Frankel 14. Under-15s versus Sorrento (round 8). Hastings batted first and, after two very good partnerships, scored 9/172 off 45 overs. Deas and Matt Foy put on 66 for the first wicket, then Lewis and James Farrugia took the score to 119. Deas was brilliant, making 70no, his highest score. Under-13s versus Crib Point. Hastings 10/78 off 39 overs, with Foy 16, Jackson Coles 13no. Crib Point used its full allotment of overs to pass Hast-

ings in the last over of the day, 4/80, which included 29 extras. Sean Hewitt took 1/9, Coles 1/8, Ryan McNamara 1/15 and Thomas Finn 1/3 Under-13s versus top side Pearcedale. Pearcedale began very well, not losing a wicket until 84. From this point, Hastings did very to restrict the Dales to 6/126 off 40 overs. Coles again bowled well, taking 2/10, Lachie Barton took 1/7, Billy Jeremiah 1/10, Corbin Overton 1/17 and Hewitt 1/21. Under-11s versus Balnarring Red. Hastings scored 4/92 off 20 overs with Ben Paarlberg making 10, Cooper Dehaas 13no and Marley Farrugia 8no. Balnarring replied with 10/71. Thomas Finn took 3/3, Dehaas 1/2, Lochie Robertson 1/1, Harrison Jansz ¼, Farrugia 1/8 and Pat Wilson 1/16. Under-11s versus Balnarring Black. Hastings scored 2/62 with Finn making 10no. Balnarring replied with 9/39 with Matt Dodd taking 3/0, Farrugia 2/7 and Bayde Wilson 1/6. Coming functions: Sunday 5 February, Sandown Greyhounds, $25, bus leaves from the club at noon. Saturday 18 February, Club Kenny comedy show, $55 includes two-course meal. Bookings: Scott, 5979 1740.

Oysters and ducks bankrolled first footy trip THE first attempt by the Hastings Football Club to organise a trip away was in the early 1900s. A small committee was formed to finance a weekend in Melbourne; various means of raising money were discussed and it was decided to try to finance the trip by donations. About half of the 30 pounds ($60) required was raised around the town, but the rest was not looking too promising so Nick and “Pooffy” Aadola decided to do a bit of collecting themselves. Now at the time, during the winter months, the main income for the fishermen was from oysters. However as there was a limit of eight bags per boat per week, a few of the more enterprising blokes would dredge while the weather was fine and tip the oysters into dumps from where they could be collected during bad weather. My dad, Pompey Francis, had quite an island of oysters at the mouth of Wilson’s Creek!

The blokes over at Rhyll went one better than this: they had a stockpile on the steps of the jetty. Nick and Pooffy knew of this and decided that a donation from the Rhyll fishermen towards the trip would be quite in order. So they sailed across one Sunday night and filled eight bags for the footy club. Their father, “Old Joe”, had a prowl around while the boys were busy filling the bags and came back with his contribution to the cause – an armful of picks and shovels, including a couple of crowbars that he found in the jetty shed. Now the boys over at Rhyll were not in the least bit interested in the Hast-

ings Football Club’s trip away, and took a dim view of the night’s proceedings. Hastings police were notified and Constable James Watt was waiting on the end of the pier when the pirate boat returned. However Nick and Pooffy maintained that they had worked all night dredging the oysters for the trip-away fund, while Old Joe explained to Constable Watt that he had in fact found the crowbars etc floating in the bay! Now while this action was taking place on the high seas, there was also some activity onshore. A number of things seemed to disappear, including a good percentage of Mrs Floyd’s flock of Muscovy ducks. It was all for a good cause, however, and the required funds were raised thanks to the hard-working committee. From Blue Power 1979, edition 6 (written by the late Norm Francis). *** WHILE watching the social activi-

ties at the club last Saturday night, I couldn’t help thinking, “What a vast difference to the social life of years gone by”. In those days an occasional pie night was the accepted thing. About three of these turns a year were as many as the club could afford, and certainly as many as the constitution could stand. The night usually started off with hot pies and cold beer, with the activities lasting well into the morning depending on the number of “niners” [ninegallon kegs, about 40 litres]. I remember one such turn when there was great panic about 2 o’clock in the morning when it was thought that Frank Kerr was missing, believed drowned. Frank was living with the Wilsons at the time and to save walking around the road, the Wilson boys had cut a path about three feet wide through the tea-tree along the creek. This was nowhere near wide enough for Frank in

the condition he was in when he left to go home that morning. Frank had not made it home, so Jerry Wilson came back looking for him with a hurricane lamp, and found the spot where he had got the “blind staggers” and taken a header into the creek. This wasn’t the best news because Frank couldn’t swim and it was high water. Jerry raised the alarm, and a search along the bank of the creek began, with much yelling and calling and an occasional splash as one of the searcher tumbled in. We found Frank eventually; he had made it home after his dip, decided he was too wet and muddy to get into bed, so collapsed on the floor and rolled under the bed. For the rest it was back to the dressing rooms and on with the “social activities”. From Blue Power 1979, edition 8 (written by the late Norm Francis).
