Rearguard action on Aldi land
Groundwork
By Mike Hast SOMERVILLE historians Leila Shaw and Brenda Thornell have mounted a last-ditch attempt to stop the shire selling the Somerville Preschool land to Aldi. The preschool land was donated to the then Shire of Frankston and Hastings in 1946 by Thomas Brunning, Ms Shaw’s father, who fought in the First World War. Somerville residents raised the money to build a maternal and child health centre on the block at 1097 FrankstonFlinders Rd as a Second World War memorial. The building later became a preschool. Ownership of the land passed from the old shire to the new Shire of Hastings in 1966 and again to the new Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1994. In 2010, Mornington Peninsula Shire supported the relocation of the preschool to a new building behind the primary school and agreed to sell the land to Aldi for about $700,000 for a supermarket and car park. Aldi owns the block next door. The issue has created tension in the town with the “old guard” appalled at the proposal and newer residents keen for Aldi to come to town and provide competition for existing supermarkets. Last month the shire held a special meeting, known as a Section 223 Submission Committee Hearing, to hear objectors and supporters of the land sale plan. Leila Shaw said she was speaking on behalf of “Somerville’s war veterans – those who died, were wounded or taken prisoners of war, their families

and the town’s pioneering families who suffered through wars and then worked hard to build our Second World War memorial”. Ms Shaw, the author of three acclaimed history books on the town, gave an impassioned speech at the 223 hearing, saying: “Destroy our memorial and you dishonour the servicemen and their families who built Australia’s first fruit-growing region.” She said the memorial in front of the preschool was “the last bastion of our pioneering families and their history.” “Over the years, various shire councils have desecrated memorials to our servicemen and women until we have but one left,” she said. “They cut down our Avenue of Honour [in Eramosa Rd East] and lost the plaques at the base of each tree. “They sold off our memorial cannon for scrap metal and moved our First World War memorial to an insignificant side street. They lost our Second World War memorial plaques from the preschool site as well as the wrought iron gates bearing the words ‘Lest we forget’.” Ms Shaw said if the preschool land was sold, the full amount should be given to the Somerville, Tyabb and District Heritage Society so it could buy a suitable block of land to establish a memorial garden. Brenda Thornell, speaking on behalf of the heritage society, said the welfare centre (now preschool) was built as a memorial because there was already a cenotaph. Continued Page 2

Bowl art: Graffiti covers the bowl at Hastings skaetpark opposite the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices.
‘Save us from graffiti’ petition WESTERN Port residents have presented a petition calling on Mornington Peninsula Shire to take action against the rapid spread of graffiti in the region. The 734-signature petition was presented to the council at its meeting in Flinders on Monday last week. A shire spokesman said graffiti was a common problem facing local government and communities across Victoria. “The Graffiti Prevention Act 2007 recognises graffiti as a crime and our Local Law No 2 allows the shire to di-
rect graffiti removal from buildings,â€? he said. “Graffiti issues and their management have been expressed in a number of shire strategic documents like [maintenance] contracts, youth programs and the shire’s local laws. “A multi-disciplinary approach is considered the best way to tackle this challenging issue.â€? This included: ď Ž Community involvement, particularly in reporting graffiti on shire assets. ď Ž Community cooperation by remov-
ing graffiti from private properties. ď Ž Education and arts programs targeting youths and schools. ď Ž The shire working with and lobbying authorities like VicRoads for the early removal of graffiti. “A proposal for a pilot program to remove graffiti from the township and commercial area is being developed.â€? The shire’s manager of Environment Protection Claire Smith and infrastructure maintenance manager Barry Pankhurst will prepare a report for the council.

She said the preschool was a solid building and could be refurbished. The lack of parking put forward as a reason for its relocation was not a good reason. “There is lots of parking nearby.� Ms Thornell told the meeting she was upset residents’ money, the $700,000, would be used to build a government asset at the primary school. She was also concerned about the extra traffic generated in Eramosa Rd East outside the school. “Have any councillors been to our notorious dou-
ble roundabout at 3.30 on a school day when the train comes through?â€? Ms Thornell said Aldi should build its supermarket “on the outskirts of a town that already had three supermarketsâ€?. ď Ž The Aldi proposal will be considered by Planning Panels Victoria at the shire offices in Mornington on Thursday 15 March where dates for future hearing days will be set. Objectors and supporters were told on 1 March the shire council would consider the matter next Tuesday 13 March, but this has been cancelled.
State PSO policy in ‘disarray’ LABOR MP Jude Perera says the state government’s Protective Service Officers policy is in disarray with Frankston, Kananook and Seaford railway stations missing out. PSO officers have also been promised by Hastings MP Neale Burgess for all stations on the Stony Point to Frankston line, although no date has yet been given for their arrival. Frankston MP Geoff Shaw on Monday said the deployment of PSOs was determined by Victoria Police “to ensure the areas that are in need of priority assistance from these officers are dealt with first”. Mr Perera – whose electorate covers parts of Carrum Downs, Seaford, Langwarrin and Frankston North – said with the current rate of recruitment, it would take nearly 60 years to fill all PSO positions that the state government promised before the 2010 election. “The government needs to start being honest with commuters and outline when the three stations would have PSO patrolling the platforms as promised,” he said. His criticism came as the first 18 PSOs started work last week after
completing a 12-week course at the police academy. A second group of 21 started training last week. The government has promised 940 guards by 2014. Mr Perera said commuters using the three station were missing out “because the government has bungled the rollout of what was considered its flagship law and order policy”. “The government said Protective Service Officers would be deployed to stations where they were needed most, but Victoria Police can’t do this because most suburban stations don’t have the proper facilities,” he said. Only Frankston had toilets, he said, and there were no detention rooms at the stations. “PSOs are being sent to inner city stations that are already policed and staffed until the last train service each day.” PSOs have the authority to arrest and detain people who are drunk and disorderly. They can search people and property, as well as seize items such as weapons and alcohol. They also can issue on-the-spot fines and directions to ‘move on’ from an area.

Tourism triumph on national stage MORNINGTON Peninsula-based tourism operators have continued their winning ways by collecting seven national tourism awards. Sorrento-based Moonraker Dolphin Swims was one of three Victorian winners at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards held in Cairns on Friday 2 March. Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s executive officer Alva Hemming described the awards as “the most prestigious event on the tourism industry calendar”. “This year, seven peninsula businesses qualified to compete in the national tourism awards by winning their respective categories last November in the RACV Victorian Tourism Awards,” Ms Hemming said. “The outcome was astonishing, with every single peninsula entrant winning an award – gold, silver or bronze.” Moonraker won the ecotourism category outright and collected a gold
trophy. The Enchanted Maze Garden at Arthurs Seat was an entrant in the new product development category and came second (a silver award) to Tasmania’s MONA Gallery. Bronze awards went to Mornington Peninsula Tourism for specialised tourism services; Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove, at Red Hill South, in the tourism wineries, distilleries and breweries category; Max’s at Red Hill Estate for tourism restaurants and catering services; Big Blue Backyard for hosted accommodation; and Blue Moon Cottages for standard accommodation. “Winning so many awards in such a diverse range of categories at a national level really reflects the true strength, diversity and professionalism of the peninsula’s tourism product and visitor services,” Ms Hemming said. “It was an absolute delight to watch as one by one our tourism businesses were announced as a winner in so many categories.
Mascot mania: The grade 5 and 6 students at St Brendan’s in Somerville could be mistaken for thinking their new pen pals are from Greece. On closer inspection, the pupils from the other side of the world are from Sparta, Michigan, in the United States. The schools have exchanged mascots, and those from Sparta Elementary School travel with the St Brendan’s kids on excursions, in the classroom, and even make it home with some children. The program between the pupils has been very popular, with the children from Michigan giving the locals a slice of their lives – ice fishing, hunting and snowmobile riding. Picture: Yanni
forcefully to their employee, CEO Dr Michael Kennedy, and abide no obfuscation from him. *** SUSTAINABLE environment chief Alex Atkins kindly stood in for the ailing Todd Trimble, communications manager, reading his “What we did in our holidays” shire report. And a splendid “oratation” it was, remarked the mayor Cr Frank Martin when Mr Atkins had finished. Then in jumped governance supremo Noel Buck to “clarify” a tiny matter: the duo named as receiving the shire’s 2012 Australia Day honours were last year’s, rather than this year’s – midwife Joanne Lovelock and student Fiona Sanford, the 2012 sash-wearers as citizen of the year and young citizen of the year. *** WHY did Kangerong Ward councillor David Gibb leave the meeting temporarily when agenda item 2.4, regarding footpaths, was to be discussed? The mayor Frank Martin announced Cr Gibb “has excused himself from debate on this” as the Red Hill cattle farmer strode silently from the chamber. Does Cr Gibb have shares in concrete? No interest in footpaths? No, it turned out he is a director on the board of governors at Toorak Col-
lege, the Mt Eliza girls’ school his daughters attended many years ago. A footpath beside Old Mornington Rd passed the school was one of the items. Veteran infrastructure project manager Tom Burk told questioner Cr Bev Colomb he was glad she had asked about special charge schemes “because I did actually come prepared” in case he was asked about the subject, “which I’m hoping to divulge if somebody wants to ask me that question”. Cr Colomb obliged, amid chuckles. But Cr Lynn Bowden asked if any footpath work was to be done on the Western Port (her) side of the shire. While Mr Burk was unable to answer that one, Cr Reade Smith informed the chamber that the former Hastings Shire was “very good at building paths”, but the former Flinders and Mornington councils weren’t. Item completed, Cr Martin asked if someone could get Cr Gibb back to the meeting – “He’s probably out there somewhere.” And indeed he was. *** SEVERAL councillors dipped into their ward discretionary funds. The mayor used $5400 of his to buy an all-terrain wheelchair for the Disabled Surfers Association, as previously reported in The News, then sought ap-
Councillors fully informed about Pantry says officer Flinders Civic Hall, 6pm Monday 27 February 2012, (splendid buffet meal followed) ALMOST inevitable that Pelican Pantry, the apparently unpluggable faucet draining the shire treasury (another $190K?), should elicit a question, this one from Janet Lenzo, wife of the wellknown but as-yet uncapped council watcher Joe Lenzo. She asked: “How is it possible that a project of the magnitude of Pelican Pantry with millions of dollars of cost to ratepayers was undertaken by the CEO and officers without a proper council vote.” Governance manager Buck responded, declaring that the council was “fully informed” during every stage of the development, implementation and ongoing operation of Pelican Pantry. Was that oblique answer an admission that councillors did not vote to approve the project? It certainly – as often occurs – did not directly answer the question. Perhaps it’s time for councillors to put Mrs Lenzo’s question directly and
proval to provide $6000 for Flinders Preschool to buy new playground equipment. Cr Martin has an impressive $183 left in his fund. Spend it wisely, Frank! (Councillors receive $15,000 a year, that is, $60,000 during their four-year terms.) Cr Antonella Celi was given approval to provide $3000 towards creation of a “Respect Mural” at Eastbourne Primary School that will be “a component of community strengthening, focusing on the building of respectful relationships”. Her $3000 went into a bucket already containing $9000 – $1000 from the school and the rest from Rosebud West Community Renewal. Cr Celi has a tidy $14,000 in the kick to last her for the rest of this election year. Next, Cr Reade Smith got approval for modest amounts to help the Robogals attend the recent Western Port Festival. They money was used to buy promotional caps for the motorcycle youth program, which is associated with the Blue Light Motorcycle Group. Cr Smith’s previous employer was Victoria Police. He also tipped money into the Public Yarn Art and Craft Workshop to buy wool, needles and insurance for an April workshop. Cr Smith’s fund hovers at a healthy $17,000-odd.
*** TO end the meeting, Cr Graham Pittock, feeling his oats since being relieved of the mayoral chain burden, announced he had a late item – that the $130,000 or so surplus announced earlier in the evening should be divided equally among councillors to top up their discretionary funds. One suspected Mayor Martin might have been tempted to approve this, with his balance hovering precariously close to zero, but no. Cr Pittock’s game bid to spend money wisely and transparently came to nought. And finally the strains of Happy Birthday rang through Flinders Civic Hall as councillors, staff and people in the public gallery congratulated Cr Tim Rodgers for safely navigating another year. One did not hear if his age was disclosed because of the warbling, but was adjacent enough to note that CEO Kennedy has a high, nasal, slightly thin but superbly in-tune tenor voice. Flood note: Soon after most people had left the hall, the heavens opened and just a few minutes later, water started pouring through light fittings and causing the ceiling to bulge in several places. The peninsula received up to 68mm of rain that night. It was a hairy drive from Flinders to parts north, south and west

Pantry cost ‘can’t be separated’ By David Harrison THE cost of building the Pelican Pantry cafe cannot be extracted from the initial estimate of $4.5 million to build the entire Pelican Park Recreation Centre and its pool, according to the shire. But the total figure for the complex is known to have blown out to $8.9 million – nearly double the first estimate – documents released under Freedom of Information reveal. The major difference was that the original plan, which included a kiosk, was altered to allow for a restaurant/ training facility, the loss-making Pelican Pantry. A revised plan, dated 28 August 2002 and provided under a FOI request, shows the restaurant with a total seating capacity of 160, 80 inside and 80 outside. The Pantry would not account for the total difference between $4.5 million and $8.9 million, but it was a substantial part of the $4.4 million difference. Responding to a FOI request for information on the Pantry, the shire stated: “The building that houses both the recreation centre ‘Pelican Park’ and the cafe ‘Pelican Pantry’ was conceived as one entity ... Where ‘Pelican Pantry’ becomes a ‘standalone entity’ is from an operational and financial perspective ...” Similarly, a request for separate building costs for the Pantry elicited the reply that the buiding “was constructed as one building facility and therefore separate construction costs for Pelican Pantry are not available”. The shire has consistently refused to
On stage: Opera singer Liane Keegan.
Opera star comes home Cafe culture: The shire is seeking expressions of interest by Wednesday 21 March for the lease of Pelican Pantry Cafe. Total floor area is 361 square metres, a 21-year lease is offered as is the existing liquor licence. The new lessee will have to open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week.
release financial details of the whole Pelican Park enterprise, including the Pantry. It is understood councillors were kept informed – but in some cases it appears the figures they were given came too late to allow them to have any meaningful say in the project. For example, at a forward planning meeting in May 2003, councillors were given what were said to be up to date financial projections – for a facility that opened that December. By May it would probably have been approaching fit-out, too late for councillors to have a real role in the project. Shire staff will not reveal what councillors were told at that meeting. The shire’s modus operandi on the Park/Pantry has been to release figures
in such a way that a complete financial picture of the project could not be assembled, or to decline to provide figures on the grounds they were commercial-in-confidence. Questioners were also told the shire costings made no allowance for any borrowings, that is, repayment of loans was not included in the figures released. This means the figures were inherently distorted, as would be a household budget that omitted mortgage repayments and credit card debt. Inclusion of the debt repayment would have added considerably to the Pelican Pantry shortfall, which, even on the figures the shire did release, rocketed from $18,000 in 2004-05 to a projected loss of $258,000 in 2011-12.
For 2011-12 the shire has budgeted for a loss of $976,000 for the combined recreation centre and cafe. Observers fear that the same financial model as has been used at Pelican Park and Pantry is being used for the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the Rosebud foreshore – except that this time the cost estimate, insofar as it can be calculated, is a whopping $35 million and almost certain to rise, as did the cost of Pelican Park/ Pantry. The initial $35 million estimate would almost double the shire’s debt and guarantee hefty rate rises for years to pay for the contentious pool complex.

The Western Port Whisperer THE whisper is Mornington Peninsula Shire is planning to sell one of Hastings’ streets to a developer. The Whisperer has his hands on a letter from the shire stating its plan to “discontinue and sell approximately 1509 square metres of the southern portion of Alfred Street to the adjoining owner, Hastings Retail Investments Pty Ltd at the current market value of $888,200�. Now The Whisperer is a sensible man, and knows the people at the shire are, too. Surely the decision to sell off one of our roads wouldn’t have been taken lightly. Surely they must have weighed the benefits and thought “it must be done�. The Whisperer has heard a rumour that the land will indeed be required for something Hastings needs desperately – another supermarket site. Thank heavens, says The Whisperer. Before he found this out, it appeared like a cash grab, but if it’s to provide another site in town for another supermarket, then bring it on. Heck knows supermarkets are in as short supply as doctors around here. *** SPEAKING of doctors: what a sorry state of affairs in Hastings. Only one doctors’ surgery left! What do you do if you want a second opinion? *** THE Whisperer is a keen follower of politics and regularly uses Hansard (the electronic version, of course) as bedtime reading when insomnia strikes. It was interesting reading last week when Federal MP Greg Hunt (Flinders), who has an office in Hastings, decided to tell the nation (and those MPs in the chamber) about “progress� in “fantastic� Somerville. “Historically it was a great apple-growing district. It has now become a district with a combination of manufacturing and retail on
the employment side and may be, along with Mt Martha, the centre with the most number of young families in the electorate of Flinders,� he told a rapt parliament in dazzling Canberra. “There have really been three great steps in terms of progress in Somerville in the last 12 months. “Firstly, it has been confirmed after a long battle, a long and protracted community campaign, that there will be a police station in Somerville. This is overdue and it is a real tribute to the community campaign and the campaign of my friend and state colleague Neale Burgess, the Member for Hastings. “I am delighted to have worked with Neale on the campaign over many years. “Secondly, there is Somerville Secondary College. This campaign started a decade ago at a time when the then state Labor government was set to sell the land ... and, therefore, take that prospect away forever. “Again there was a great community campaign with numerous people involved, and it resulted in: firstly, the outcome of preserving the land; secondly, creating a years 7 to 10 college merged as part of Mount Erin Secondary College; thirdly, an independent Somerville Secondary College 7 to 10; and, just now, for the first time, having year 12 students. “So the dream and vision of a Somerville Secondary College independent and standalone from years 7 to 12 has been established. “The third area of progress is in terms of an ambulance station. We are very close to getting that. Again I want to congratulate Neale Burgess on the fact that Somerville is due to get a new peak-period ambulance station to operate during the busiest times of the day.� All state issues and we now wait with bated breath for Mr Hunt to extol the virtues of other state MPs in his electorate – Martin Dixon, David Morris and Ken Smith. thewhisperer@y7mail.com

Woman fined over false compensation claims A 54-year-old Mornington woman has been fined $1500 for fraudulently claiming $13,600 in workers compensation. The woman suffered a back injury while working as a sales representative in April 2010 but eights later was working in a similar position for another employer. She was seen driving when she claimed that was not possible and at monthly medical appointments did not tell her doctor that she’d returned to work for a different employer. Based on the information provided by the woman, the doctor issued certificates stating she could not work. Frankston magistrate Rodney Crisp convicted and fined the woman $1500 with $1500 costs after she pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining payments under the Accident Compensation Act. Mr Crisp said it was hard enough for medical practitioners to make a correct diagnosis without having to decipher incorrect medical histories. The director of WorkSafe’s return to work division Dorothy Frost said most injured workers did the right thing in terms of their claim, but warned that there was a lot at stake with dishonesty offences. “Apart from the fraud and having to repay the money relatively quickly, convictions are serious matters which can seriously limit work, financial and travel opportunities. “The system is there to ensure people who are hurt at work get the support they are entitled to under the law. It is paid for by the community, so when it is undermined, everyone pays. “Returning to work in the right way means many, perhaps, unforeseen consequences can be avoided, and importantly an individual’s quality of life is maximised.� Ms Frost said medical evidence showed work
was good for overall health and well-being. “If you have the capacity to work you can declare it, still get treatment, benefits, and get back on the job. It need not be your former role and it can be on reduced hours, but it’s important to do it correctly,� she said. Information on workers’ compensation matters and preventing injuries can be found at www.worksafe.vic.gov.au or by calling WorkSafe’s advisory service on 1800 136 089.

Judging by taste, there’s just one snag SAUSAGE used to come in two flavours and two sizes – beef and pork, thick and thin – and were known as “mystery bags” or “bangers”. Times, and sausages, have changed. They are now made from many different meats, combined with vegetables and flavoured with aromatic herbs and spices. Sausages have taken their place on the menus of top restaurants and butchers pride themselves on their sausage-making skills. The evolution of the sausage is a feature at this year’s Red Hill Show on Saturday 24 March. The show society and Mornington Peninsula Gourmet are holding a competition to find the peninsula’s best sausage, according to the educated taste buds of judge Richard Cornish. The award-winning food writer grew up on the peninsula and is a features writer for The Age Epicure. His play Snagtastica about sausagemaking was a hit for several years at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. At Red Hill, professional chefs and butchers will join amateur cooks in the search for the seriously good snag. Their sausages will be cooked by the chef from Green Olive at Red Hill inside the MP Gourmet marquee. Creator of the winning sausage will march in the show’s grand parade. Entry forms are available from the show secretary on 5989 2357 or can be downloaded from www.redhillshow.org and must be lodged by Wednesday 14 March. The 84th Red Hill Show will be open 8.30am-4.30pm on Saturday 24 March with free entry to the show jumping at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre in Rosebud on Saturday 31 March and Sunday 1 April.

Equine attraction: Diva the champion blue road Clydesdale mare is returning to this year’s Red Hill Show, but may have to take a back seat to a close relative. Last October Diva gave birth to filly Jada, who is set to be a star attraction at the show. Owners Ron and Mathy Hyder, of Moonrise Farm in Rye, will be on hand to answer questions about Clydesdales. The breed will compete in led, ridden and harness classes.
Birth doco at Monash TWO Frankston women “passionate about women’s choices in childbirth” have organised screening of a new Australian documentary, Face of Birth, at Monash University’s peninsula campus. Meredith McLaren and Sue Holland say the doco “explores the experiences of families who choose to give birth at home, the midwives and health professionals who support them, and a health system that often works against them”. The doco includes interviews with mothers and experts from around Australia and the world including Noni Hazlehurst, Euan Wallace, Sheila Kitzinger and Michel Odent. “The film will be screening at more than 44 venues in Australia and we expect considerable interest,” Ms McLaren said. “The topic of homebirth has been prominent recently due to a legislative debate regarding the regulation of midwives who offer homebirth as a service, the provision of Medicare for these services, and the conditions under which a woman can choose to birth at home.” Money raised from the screening will go to a birth centre in Bali and gift subscriptions to the Australian Breastfeeding Association to be given to Frankston Hospital for patients. Guest speakers will include Rhea Dempsey, a childbirth educator, who appears in the doco. Face of Birth screens at the university’s Building E209 at 7pm on Thursday 15 March. Tickets are $15 prepaid or $20 at the door. Details: Meredith McLaren, 0409 756 595 or Sue Holland, 0425 736 563.

Western Port News 6 March 2012
FEATURE
The shy man caring for our best friends MARK West’s small patient still lay on the operating table, big lights, tubes, oxygen at hand. The furry patient, Meeka, was yet to discover she was to have a sore tummy for a little while. Meeka had been spayed at the Somerville vet clinic. Mark and vet nurse Jill (of whom Mark comments had been with them “forever�) hovered to make sure she was safe. A tortoise, perhaps also comatose, lay in a cardboard box in another room. Hard to tell with tortoises if comatose or not. Mark West has been “the Hastings vet� for the past 31 years. Why Hastings? “I graduated in 1978 aged just 23 and worked in a dairy practice at Leongatha for three years. Then I heard that the Hastings practice was for sale and decided to buy it,� he said. Mark was engaged to Sue, who grew up on the Mornington Peninsula. She was yet to graduate as a vet, so he worked single-handedly at first. “It was a one-person mixed practice,� he said, “and remains a mixed practice today.� The practice has grown with the town. Westernport Veterinary Clinics has spread from Hastings to include clinics in Somerville and Balnarring. According to the website, Mark and Sue West own and run them in partnership with Matthew and Alison Ray, plus a team of 11 vets and 11 vet nurses. Sue West’s background was cattle so they wanted their new Hastings clinic to continue looking after cattle and “pleasure horses�. As trends in small farming developed, they found themselves chatting up goats, emus, ostriches and alpacas. Working after hours every second night and every second weekend proved a challenge with a young family. “I’m not complaining, but I warn young vets about it,� Mark said. Do vets enjoy shows like All Creatures Great and Small and have the shows changed public expectations about veterinarians? “At first when I was in the dairy practice I had to make sure I saw [the program] at the weekend because come Monday morning I’d have to answer questions from farmers. It was pretty accurate so I learnt a bit,� he said. “There are a lot of vet shows around; most of them avoid hype and glamour. They show the highs and lows. They’ve been good for our profession on the whole.

“No, they don’t give people unreal expectations. The high end human medical shows, which flow onto veterinary work, can however.� Mark West said the profession has changed significantly over his 31 years. There is more specialisation – and more expensive equipment. “When I started there was one eye specialist in Melbourne. Now there are specialists in every area – eyes, skin, behaviour.� As well as use of acupuncture, chiropractic and natural therapies? “I haven’t kept up with some of that, but younger vets are doing it. One of our team uses acupuncture regularly. We try to make people aware of what’s available but try not to put pressure on them to follow it up.� The cost of specialists is extremely high. Is that down to staffing levels required? “No,� he said. “It’s the equipment and their training for years, often overseas. A few years ago, to get a CT scan for a dog involved making a few phone calls and going in the back door of the Royal Melbourne Hospital after dark.
“Now there are three or four CT scanners available for pets and two MRI machines. We joke about where we’d put one if we could afford it.� The equipment does help with diagnosis, especially as animals can’t explain where they hurt. So the practice has bought secondhand ultrasound equipment from the Castlemaine Hospital. Did he ever want to specialise? Mark mulled over that for a moment. “I thought I should have but realised I enjoy being the equivalent of a GP. If I specialised in something it would be surgery,� he said. He mentioned behaviour several times as we talked. Do neurotic owners create neurotic pets? “Placebo medication doesn’t affect animals, but it may their owners,� Mark answered somewhat obliquely. “These days the trend is for both partners to work; there are more pets left alone all day.� There is pressure to do the right thing, he said, going on to talk about the perennial problem of lonely, barking dogs.
“There are some situations where pets and owners feed off each other’s anxiety. I am a conservative and shy person, but I did have to ask someone once about their smoking habit,� he confessed. “I did it diplomatically through their partner because I could smell cigarettes on the client and the dog had re-
spiratory problems. Turned out they sat together on the sofa all day while the client chain smoked.� Do aggressive owners have aggressive dogs? “We joke about small man, big dog,� he said. I revealed my theory that as men get older their dogs get smaller and blonder. Mark said at home one day he noticed one of their miniature poodles was missing. Sue smiled and said their son had taken it to Mornington’s Main St for a walk. Mark didn’t understand at first. Their son was using the dog as a “chick magnet�. Oh right! What does Mark West to do to chill out? “I play the piano a little, light classics. I’m not even good enough to play for my wife,� he admitted. “And I’m taking Italian lessons.� Dreams about a villa in Tuscany? “Don’t we all! No, my sister married into an Italian family and I like cooking. Italian food is simple, real family food,� he said. That led to talk about dog food. Many people today are concerned about commercial pet food. “Look, my father used to cook for the farm dogs. He’d spend a lot of time cutting up carrots and freezing the food. Eventually I realised he enjoyed the process rather than doing it for nutritional benefits,� Mark said. “I’ve spent a lot of time listening to pet food reps and seeing how commercial food is prepared. I’m a lazy dog owner and our dogs only eat commercial dog food. We don’t see a lot of nutritional problems. “I just want to see people enjoying their pets, spending time with them, socialising them and socialising with each other,� he said with a smile. Jill popped it to ask the boss to watch Meeka while she attended to the counter. He excused himself. The comatose client remained in safe hands.
From alpacas to yorkies: Mark West has seen the veterinary industry undergo major changes during his long career.

Brick ’n’ tile beauty
Total renovation
WITH a stylish and spacious interior featuring a modern and visually appealing colour scheme, this handsome brick home will please many. For the larger family, there are four bedrooms, three with built-in robes. The master bedroom has a nice bay window as well as an ensuite and walk-in robe. The floor plan allows for a formal lounge at the front of the home and a combined family–dining area towards the back as well as a second living area or study. The kitchen is quite modern with a stainless-steel under-bench oven and a good amount of cupboard space. From the dining area there is access to an undercover entertaining area that overlooks the backyard. The block is narrow, but extends back a reasonable distance with space to kick the footy and has good fences.
BUSY owners have transformed this home with a renovation so thorough that it presents in as-new condition. For first home buyers this is a tremendous opportunity to get into the market with a zero maintenance home as good as they come.

The Floods of Moorooduc, Mornington and Tyabb By Peter McCullough ROY Flood was born at Mornington Bush Nursing Hospital on 15 August 1928 and lived on the family property in Tyabb until he retired to Mt Martha in 2000. This is the story of his family, the Floods of Tyabb. James Flood (great-grandfather) JAMES was born in England in 1818 and married Elizabeth Amelia Griffin in 1844. They had four children before they sailed for Australia on the Scindian in 1852. Seven more children were born in Melbourne. At least five died in infancy. George, the first to be born in Australia in 1854, was my grandfather. James had a printing business in North Melbourne and must have made some money because in 1858 he applied for and and was allotted the property called “Oaklands”, which is in Moorooduc on the north-west corner of the Mornington-Tyabb and Stumpy Gully roads. He paid one pound ($2) per acre for the property. On 14 May 1863, James Flood, John Sykes, John Stone, Thomas Allchin, Henry Dunn, James McLellan and Benjamin John Benton purchased the half acre on part of allotment 5, section A, as a church/school site and the small weatherboard church on Three Chain Rd (now Moorooduc Highway), just south of Mornington-Tyabb Rd, was built. The land cost 10 shillings ($1). James also purchased several blocks in Boes Rd, Tyabb, and on the Mornington-Tyabb Rd corner and, although he had to dispose of the latter when times were difficult, he retained his holding of about 94 acres (38ha) at 60 Boes Rd. This was bought in 1875 for two pounds 10 shillings an acre, a total cost of about 235 pounds. George Flood (grandfather) George was born on 3 March 1854

at Collingwood. He moved to Mornington in 1880 and built a house at 86 Barkly St; a weatherboard with a corrugated galvanised iron roof and a picket fence. It had an outside laundry (or wash-house) and a stable out the back for a horse and jinker. They also had their own chickens, a cow and a big vegetable garden. The house was
quite close to the railway station and also near the gasworks, which was started in 1888, This was the year kerosene lamps in Main St were replaced with 35 gas lamps. In 1881 George married Martha Mary Hull at Collingwood and they had two sons: George James (born 1882) and Percy William (1885). When Martha died in 1887, George married her sister, Harriet. Three more children were born, all at Mornington – Elsie (1890), my father Clifford (1891) and Leonard (1893). George worked for the Shire of Mornington as a rate collector. He was also a councillor for 25 years, including shire president in 1909, 1910, 1915, 1927 and 1931. The brick hall at Moorooduc was opened on 16 June 1916 by shire presi-
dent George Flood in the presence of 300 residents. A concert and then a dance followed. He was a member of the Mornington Freemasons Lodge where he was treasurer for many years and served a term as Master. On the death of his father, George inherited “Oaklands” in Moorooduc, which was natural plain; there was not much clearing to do. The Boes Rd property in Tyabb, on the other hand, was mostly bush, mainly messmate and peppermint hardwood trees with some wattle and teatree. The messmate was good building timber, and in the early years a sawmill was set up near the creek, about a kilometre in from Boes Rd. Water from a spring was used in the steam engine. George and Harriet built a hut at Boes Rd as they would come out at weekends in their horse and cart, clear some land, and then return to Morn-

ington for the working week. The hut was one large room about eight by six metres (26ft by 20ft) constructed with hardwood posts cut with an axe. Wire netting or wooden split slats was nailed to both sides, and mud or gravel used to fill in between. The inside was then smoothed off and painted with whitewash, which consisted of a mixture of whiting skim milk and a dash of salt. The hut had a corrugated iron roof, two small windows, a door, and a very large fireplace with a rod across it to hold a large castiron kettle. All timber was cut down with a cross-cut saw and the tree stumps were pulled out with a “forest devil”, a cable and drum winch that was very strong but slow. The bark was taken from the wattle trees, tied into bundles and left to dry. It was then sent to Melbourne to

the tannery for colouring leather. Most of the good trees were split into posts and rails to use in the fences around the property; the fences were cheap to build and did not require materials to be bought and carted. According to folklore, the track between Hastings and Mornington in the early 1860s ran through the Boes Rd property. In 1869 Hastings (or Kings Creek, as it was then known) had about 25 fishermen living in huts on Crown land. They would carry their fish to Mornington for Melbourne markets as the tracks through Baxter were too boggy.
open fireplace, a kitchen with wood stove (but no running water at this stage), a bathroom, and a wash-house with concrete wash troughs and a copper for boiling clothing. Many alterations took place during the life of the house, which ended in 1984 when Jean and Roy Flood built the house that stands there now. On 15 June 1921, Cliff married Elsa Marie Lena Bieri, the youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Frederick Bieri who owned the cafe at the bay end of Main St, Mornington, as well as “Parkside”, the guest house next door.
Cliff and Elsa raised three children – Joan (born 1923), Alan (1924) and (Ray) 1928. The children went to Tyabb State School on the corner of Jones and the Mornington-Tyabb roads. Joan finished her schooling at the Catholic senior school in Hastings while Alan and Roy went to Frankston High School in Quality St, where Chisholm TAFE is now. Cliff continued to clear and plant apple and plum trees, and also to run cattle and sheep on the cleared pastures. He developed about 12 hectares (30
acres) of orchard and 16 hectares (40 acres) of pasture. There were about two hectares (5 acres) of pine trees that were planted mainly along the creek as it was believed they would reduce erosion. The creek ran from the back of the property to the front northeast side. It had several springs along its course so there was always plenty of water for cattle. In 1939 when war broke out Cliff joined the army again. He was based in the railway transport office at Seymour where his commanding officer was Captain Lew Cole of Tyabb.
Initially the family leased the orchard and went to live at “Parkside” in Mornington with Grandma Bieri but then shifted to Frankston as it was easier for Cliff when he came home on leave as the house in Petrie St was close to the railway station and also the high school for the boys. In 1942 Alan left school and started work in Melbourne with John W Stamp, engineers and manufacturers of the Stampco washing machine; at this time the company was making essential machinery for the Defence Department. In 1943 the family returned to the farm at Tyabb, as the tenant was not paying his rent and was letting the place deteriorate. Ray became the farmer. He looked after the chickens and a cow, which he milked before school before cycling into Tyabb to catch the bus to Frankston High School. During the latter part of the war the family started to remove some of the older part of the orchard in front of the house and toward the creek. They would often borrow an old steel-wheeled Fordson tractor from Dave Barclay (who later married Joan) to remove the trees. In 1944 Ray left school and went to work at John W Stamp with his brother Alan. By 1952, Cliff and Elsa Flood were not in good health so Ray left Stamp and returned to the farm. Also, Ray said he had met “an attractive young lady named Jean Boyle at a dance at the RSL in Frankston and we decided to marry”. “We built mum and dad a house at 66 Boes Rd, but mum passed away in 1960,” Ray said. “Alan and I had bought the Tyabb Garage in 1956 and Alan, now married, was looking for a house to live in. He moved into 66 Boes Rd and dad spent his time between Joan and Dave’s in Coolart Rd and the two houses in Boes Rd. He was always a great help around the place, doing all the odd jobs and taking care of the garden. He died on 25 January 1976. To be continued
Clifford Frederic Flood (father) Cliff was born in Mornington on 7 September 1891, lived with his family at 86 Barkly St and attended Mornington State School in Vale St. He played football and cricket for Mornington. On 20 January 1917, Cliff joined the 1st AIF in Melbourne as a gunner in the 6th Battery, Field Artillery. His younger brother, Leonard, who was a survey draftsman, had joined the Light Horse on 25 June 1915. He was promoted to corporal and sent to Cairo where he died of dysentery on 22 October 1915. Cliff left for England on 9 November 1917, arriving at Southhampton on 4 January 1918 after stops at Suez, Alexandria and Taranto, Italy. He then crossed to France where as part of the artillery, he fired 18 pounders at the German army. During his time at the front he was gassed, which left him with chest problems later in life. He travelled home on the Prince Ludwig and was discharged in Melbourne on 28 November 1919, having served 1042 days in the army including 666 days abroad. In 1920 the house at 60 Boes Rd was built – solid brick with lath and plaster ceilings, a corrugated iron roof, three bedrooms, lounge room with Right: Clifford Flood at Seymour in 1940.

A landscape in Venice, Italy, where she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;lucky enough to have some great lightâ&#x20AC;? contrasts with the luminous greens of storm surf at her â&#x20AC;&#x153;backyardâ&#x20AC;?, St Andrews Beach. The Rye artist has decided to dip her toe into deeper artistic waters, entering a portrait of Rosebud actor Steve Bastoni in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $75,000 Archibald Prize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been exploring portrait painting and decided to try my luck and enter the Archibald,â&#x20AC;? she said. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;seriousâ&#x20AC;? painter for the past 12 years, Sullivan now feels she has found her â&#x20AC;&#x153;true calling, continuing the traditional painting method of tonal realism in which I am now workingâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This method was initiated by Velazquez, a Spanish artist who was painting in the 1600s and has been expanded on and taught in Australia by Max Meldrum, who ran painting schools in Melbourne,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve Bastoni agreed to sit as my subject for the portrait, and he is very pleased with the final result, as am I. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The subject for the Archibald has to be an Australian distinguished in the arts, science, letters or politics, so Steve fitted the profile with a large body of film, stage and television work and his involvement as co-founder of the Peninsula Short Film Festival.â&#x20AC;? Paintings to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make it onto the wallâ&#x20AC;? of the Archibalds will be announced on 15 March.

The Mono King By Stuart McCullough AS a child, I did not want to be a fireman or an astronaut. Occupations such as stuntman or cattle wrangler had no interest for me. Doctor, teacher or electrician: these meant nothing. All I wanted was to ride my bike better than anyone had ever ridden a bike before. It was no ordinary bicycle, but a Malvern Star dragster. A dragster, also known as a “long frame low rider”, was the greatest bike ever built. In fact, they were the only bike in the world with a built-in slouch. The seat was as a long as a horse’s face and sticking out of the frame was a gearbox. As important as my bike was to me, the gears were something of a mystery. Whether the gearbox did, in fact, do anything at all or was purely for decoration was never entirely clear. It’s my firm view that, one year, the Tour de France should be conducted entirely on dragsters. There were no buses, trains or trams where we lived. It meant the only form of transport that didn’t involve our parents was our bikes. We would take off up the gravel driveway at great speed, dodging potholes in an attempt to gather as much momentum as possible. Luckily, our driveway was around a kilometre long and riding from one end to the other was a source of near-endless fascination. Save for the odd sticker wrapped around its frame, my dragster was largely unadorned. Others, however, made all kinds of modifications. Chief among these was the addition of a fluorescent orange flag attached to the
seat. It would bob behind the rider like a bird as they pedalled furiously away. The other key alteration involved putting something between the spokes to create an engine-like roar. Of course, the results sounded less like an engine than they did a cat’s purr, but it allowed us to make believe our
bikes had been transformed into motorcycles. Motorbikes were, according to my father, only ridden by lunatics. My father’s stridency was undermined by the fact that our favourite television show at the time was CHiPs, which stood for Californian Highway Patrol
Nature artists talk about their travels ARTISTS with a fascination for nature at home and overseas are coming to Frankston’s Brialyn Boathouse Gallery. Experts will give talks and exhibit their works while budding artists are being invited to submit unframed drawings of animals. The professionals who will be at the gallery for an exhibition and talks have painted reptiles and animals and have offered an evening to share their artistic journey from Australia to wildlife areas overseas. Drawings by retired sheep farmer Chris McClelland have won prizes and praise throughout Australia and he will share his stories of art and African safaris at 7pm on Friday 9 March. Pete Marshall is a retired veterinary surgeon who travels in Australia and overseas to gather material for her artwork, especially subjects that are beautiful, often endangered, and sometimes dangerous. She will speak about her art at 7pm Thursday 15 March. Marshall has travelled to many conservation centres – Nagamba Island (chimpanzees); Bwindi’s forest (mountain gorillas); Uganda; Sepilok and Semengok in Malaysia (orangutans); the Canadian tundra (polar bears ); Bardia and
and starred Erik Estrada as Francis “Ponch” Poncherello and Larry Wilcox as “Jon”. It was the kind of television show whose objective was largely magical in that it sought nothing more than to make an hour disappear. When I think about it now, it’s remarkable how little seemed to occur. In Australia we had our own motorcycle-riding police officer in the form of Paul Cronin as Solo One. Set in the Dandenong Ranges, it only ran for 13 episodes during which Paul tried to figure out why he wasn’t on Matlock Police anymore. Eventually, the era in which dragsters roamed the earth came to an end upon the introduction of the “bicycle motocross” better known as BMX’. These bikes were not inspired by Jon, Ponch or even Paul Cronin, but by moto-cross motorbikes. The whole point of these bikes was to ride them at speed through terrain littered with obstacles. It suited us perfectly. Suddenly, our dragsters were as cool as the flared trousers we had once worn while riding them. From this point on, it was all about the BMX. You didn’t just ride a BMX bike. The bike was an extension of your body and you were expected to be able perform a range of stunts, such as the “bunny hop” or the “pogo”. However, by far the greatest thing you could do on a BMX was a “mono”. “Pulling a mono” involved using your weight to lean away from the handlebars, which lifted the front wheel and enabled you to ride on just the back wheel. Some may call such a
manoeuvre a “wheelie”, but we knew it strictly as a mono. With a mono, much as with life itself, there is the risk you may overdo things and end up flat on your back for your troubles. My attempts were always doused in caution and, inevitably, my monos were quite feeble. I longed for more. We would see them on trips to the milk bar with our parents. Delinquents would gather as mosquitoes around a blue-light insect zapper, sitting astride their BMX bikes, nonchalantly necking choc-orange Big M and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Dressed in a duffel coat and desert boots, their leader would ride back and forth out the front of the milk bar, front tyre raised continuously in what seemed to be an everlasting mono. His chrome BMX shone like a new set of teeth and he seemed in control of so much more than just his bike. I envied him then. As to what happened to that guy, I couldn’t say. Whether pulling a mono is as useful a skill as an adult is anyone’s guess. Heaven knows, we need him now – bikes today are more popular than ever but there’s nary a mono to be seen. As for me, I think I preferred it when bikes were a means of escaping from your parents. Even now I can picture him, still out the front of the milk bar; older but steadfastly none the wiser, choc-orange Big M in hand. He remains in my mind untouched by the decades, forever the Mono King. www.stuartmccullough.com

Round 11 washed out, relegation fight on By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Firsts v Baxter: Needing to win the match to make the finals, the weather gods were against us with only five overs of the match completed. Hastings was 1/11 when play was abandoned. Now the club will either have to call an extraordinary meeting with the support of 10 club presidents or take the Danny Helybut matter to the magistrates court in an attempt to regain match points deducted by the MPCA pennant committee. The club was told in February that
recruit Danny Helybut was a fourpoint player, not a three-point player as the club thought. The decision came after eight rounds, which meant Hastings had played an ineligible player in six of the eight rounds, and 66 match points were deducted, dropping the First XI from equal fifth on the ladder, just four points out of the top four, to last. We have a good case to get 18 points back, which would mean the club would not be relegated. The Seconds game was washed out without a ball being bowled. The Thirds travelled to Portsea to
take on Sorrento in a game they only needed to draw to remain fourth on the ladder. Hastings batted, opening with Pat Foy and Glenn Jansz, and they compiled a 55-run partnership before Foy was dismissed for 30. Stuart Burrows joined Jansz and they kept the scoreboard ticking over, reaching 2/130 when Burrows was out for 24. Jayden Deas added 30 runs with Jansz who was 91 and in sight of his first century. Chris White came and went, 4/162, before Stephen Lewis, 23, helped add
Yabbies prepare for season By Terry McGrath TWENTY-Twelve promises to be a great year for the Tyabb Yabbies after a busy off-season. There have been a number of new coaching appointments.

another 41 runs and Jansz reached his century, 105no, as Hastings finished on 7/210 off its 40 overs. Sorrento went out to bat, but the rain was getting heavier and at 3/14 after 5.2 overs the umpires called a stop and awarded six points each. Kevin Watson took 2/4 and Kayne Lewis 1/8. The side plays its semi-final against Delacombe Park on Saturday. The Fourths also play a semi-final, next Sunday against Seaford Tigers at home. The Under-11s played Tyabb in a Twenty20 match on Friday night. Hastings made 8/72 (Cooper Dehaas
10). Tyabb replied with 7/73 to win by one run. Pat Wilson took 1/2, Dilan McGaughey 1/5, Ben Paarlberg 1/4, Regan Taylor 1/7 and Harrison Jansz 1/13. The club would like to thank parents who helped with the junior teams during the season. Junior presentation night is at 5.30pm on Friday with presentations to Milo players, under-11, under-13 and under-15 players. Please return raffle tickets for the club’s major draw at the senior presentation night on Saturday 31 March.
Making up the numbers THE hardest part of playing football at home when I first started in 1933 was trying to pick out who you were kicking to because, by the end of the first quarter, everyone looked the same – two-legged heaps of mud. Colours meant nothing. “Showering” after the game was a bit of a shock to the system – into the creek in full playing rig to get rid of most of the mud followed by a sprint around the ground to the dressing shed to get dry. It was not surprising that few of our opponents took advantage of our “facilities”, preferring to go home filthy. Mind you, as late as 1952 the Flinders football ground could not boast of facilities as good as those at Hastings in the ’30s: they had no creek and only three sides to their one-room shed! I can also very vividly remember, 37 years later, the last game (or, more correctly, half-game) I played with the Blues. We were in a lot of trouble financially near the end of the season, and Tony Mirabella and I spent a Saturday morning doing the rounds of the local traders collecting things for a monster raffle to try to get the club out of trouble. We were playing Carrum and I was not very
impressed when I arrived up there to find that only 16 players had arrived for the last game of the season. We found one young bloke to play, and it looked to be a toss-up between Alan Mays and myself as to who made up the 18. Carrum found a spare pair of boots, which, unfortunately, were too big for Alan, so I was it. The umpire bounced the ball and it came in my direction. I can remember running in with about five years of frustration behind me – straight into big Gibbons. There wasn’t anything that didn’t hurt, not even a finger, when I finally picked myself up off the ground. My son Richard played a terrific game, but his dad only managed one kick and about two weeks of agony. From Blue Power 1982, edition 4 (written by the late Norm Francis).
Autumn Motoring Holden wagon to join Cruze line-up A NEW wagon will join Holden’s Cruze line-up in the next 12 months. A company spokesman said the imported model would be the third variant of Holden’s favourite small car and would combine the practicality of a wagon “with the high-tech features and sporty style that has made Cruze sedan and hatch so popular”. The Chevrolet version of the Cruze wagon will make its global premiere at the Geneva Motor Show. The latest Cruze body style complements sedan and hatch, which have sold more than one million vehicles globally since the car was launched in 2009. Holden’s executive director of sales, marketing and aftersales John Elsworth said he was looking forward to welcoming the Cruze wagon to Australia. “Cruze wagon ticks all the boxes; it offers distinctive design, dynamic driving, space and economy,” he said. “Cruze has been a fantastic success story for Holden; it’s been extremely well received by our customers making it Australia’s fifth highest-selling car in 2011. “We’re confident Cruze wagon will take the nameplate from strength to strength and reach new customers who are looking for more versatility. “The new wagon will feature generous storage space and a high level of standard features and safety that customers have come to expect from a Cruze. Cruze wagon, at 4675mm, is slightly longer than the hatch (4510mm) and sedan (4597mm). Load space ranges from 500 litres up to the window line in the rear to nearly 1500 litres up to the roof top with the rear seats folded down. “The exterior design features a tapering, single-arch roofline and comes with roof racks as standard, providing convenience while maintaining a poised and sporty look.”

THE first image of Hyundai’s new i-oniq concept car has been released, showcasing new technology and design which present an impression of the company’s future thinking, a spokesman said. “The i-oniq is an electric sports hatchback with a range-extending petrol engine. Intended to convey the latest thinking from Hyundai’s designers and engineers, the i-oniq evolves the company’s fluidic sculpture form language and represents bold ‘New Possibilities’ with its futuristic powertrain. “Hyundai stylists chose dynamic proportions to create ioniq’s aesthetic and functional

body shape. Its design combines gentle feature lines and muscular surface treatment, conveying both premium and sporty qualities evident in both the exterior and interior of the car. Further design elements, such as the ‘penthouse roof’ and LED headlights, emphasise the efficiency and advanced technology encased within i-oniq. “At 4.4 metres long, i-oniq has space for four occupants in its driver-oriented cabin. Hightech equipment in the driver interface and controls reflects contemporary and future premium consumer electronics technology. Passengers benefit from a lounge-style space
designed to optimise comfort, featuring sculpted surfaces inspired by musical instruments to create a positive contrast with the sports-focused driver area. “The i-oniq concept has an innovative powertrain that demonstrates Hyundai’s commitment to clean technology. A one-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine is mated, via a generator, to a lithium ion electric motor that produces 80kW. In electric-only mode, i-oniq has a range of 120km, while with assistance from the petrol engine it can travel up to 700km, producing just 45g/km of CO2 in the process.

IF youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to buy a used car, it pays to check the vehicle thoroughly to ensure you are getting value for money. Beneath the car: Uneven tyre wear could mean misaligned steering or suspension. Check for leaks from the engine, transmission, brakes and rear axle. The bodywork: Variations in paintwork colour, or door panels that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t line up, can indicate previous smash damage. Check around wheel arches for any rust problems. The engine: If the engine oil is grey or milky, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign of water in the oil. Worse, any sign of oil in the radiator water can mean a cracked cylinder head or faulty head gasket. Remember, if the car isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fitted with an Australian compliance plate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably best to walk away from the deal, no matter how tempting it might seem.

WHEN it comes to going away with your new fourwheel drive vehicle and new off-road caravan, many people believe that the caravan will go anywhere the 4x4 will. This is not necessarily the case as most caravan dealers will tell you when they sell you the caravan. The caravan is best used as a base station for you to return to each night after having spent a day exploring with your 4x4. This is not a lesson in fourwheel driving, but intended to give you a bit of an idea where caravans come from and what they are designed for. Some manufacturers build caravans that are designed to go into the rough stuff, but mostly they simply beef up the suspension, raise the ground clearance and then put a caravan body onto the chassis, which may or may
not be the same as a normal on-road caravan. Australianbuilt caravans are strong enough to withstand the constant pounding that our bitumen roads can dish out, but many cannot withstand the punishment that drivers put them through on our rougher bitumen and dirt roads at speeds greater than they were designed for and in some cases faster than safety allows. U-Tow Caravans often hear stories of how bad a particular make is then, after a bit of basic questioning, find that the driver sits on or exceeds the speed limit everywhere he tows the caravan, including dirt roads, or tries to take it into areas that it was not designed for. If you want a tough off-roader, there are a few caravans and some smaller camper types that, although more expensive, can really
take what you want to dish out. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the horror stories that were prevalent in the 1960s to 1980s about sway and side buffeting, but they still exist if you choose to travel too fast, load incorrectly, have your weight distribution hitched up incorrectly or go into areas with strong side winds. The moral is slow down and smell the roses. A caravan is a sizeable investment after a house and a car, so it needs to be treated with respect. U-Tow Caravans can service your caravan so call to arrange a suitable time and day. U-Tow also has a wide range of caravan accessories at its premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.

Top 10 tips to help cut running costs USE less accelerator and only enough pedal to maintain a constant speed. This reduces tyre wear and mechanical repairs. Keep the battery fully charged. A constantly discharged battery will not see out its full life. Keep your tyres at the recommended pressure. This can reduce your fuel consumption by 10 per cent or more. Keep your engine clean. It makes servicing easier and reduces the risk of grease and grime build-up hampering
cables and other moving parts. Fix small mechanical problems before they become larger ones. You can save expensive repairs in this way. Run your car air-conditioner even in winter. Just a few minutes will prevent seals from drying out. Make sure you check your radiator level regularly and top it up if necessary. Use coolant, not water, as collant will retard corrosion and save later repairs. Make sure your fan belt is tensioned correctly (about 2cm
of free play only). A slipping belt can deteriorate quickly and cause wear to water pump and alternator bearings. It pays to start winter with fresh engine oil. Old oil thickens and imposes extra strain on the engine, particularly during cold morning starts. Service your car regularly. A well-tuned and maintained vehicle will perform better and more economically.

Brake fluid tips REGULARLY changing the brake fluid in your car allows safe brake operation and can also save money. Brake fluid is the lifeblood of the braking hydraulic system. Brake fluid transfers the pressure you apply on the brake pedal to the brakes on the wheels of your car. What happens as it ages? Brake fluid is very hygroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture very readily. This
lowers the boiling point of the fluid and introduces moisture into the components of the brake system. How does this affect safety? With a lower boiling point, the heat generated from normal braking can cause old brake fluid to boil, which in turn causes loss of braking pressure or complete brake failure. Replacement of fluid improves safety and saves you money as the moisture in brake
fluid causes brake components to corrode internally and these may need replacement earlier than expected. Comparatively, the cost of replacing the fluid is very low. How often should brake fluid be replaced? It is recommended brake fluid be replaced every two years. This is in line with most car manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations. If there is any doubt as to the fluidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age, replace it.
