By Mike HastSEEING satirist, comedian and actor John Clarke standing in the mangroves of Western Port at Hastings, you natu-rally enough expect a sardonic com-ment.

Perhaps something about the odour of the mud at low tide. Eau de salt-

marsh, anyone? A crack about the sea-grass? This would look good in the fi sh pond.

But, no, Clarke is on a mission; some thing completely different, as the Pythons once said.

He is a founding board member of Western Port Seagrass Partnership, an

independent trust formed in 2001 to lobby for the protection and restora-tion of Western Port and its catchment.

Why does a 65-year-old New Zea-lander who came to Australia in the 1979 and became a fi xture in comedy and satire on television, in fi lms and on stage – including being inducted into

the Logies Hall of Fame in 2008 – care about Western Port?

“I’ve owned a holiday house on Phil-lip Island for years,” he told The News, fl ashing a look southeast from the Hastings foreshore and stepping off the track as a woman with two white dogs jogged past.

“I was sitting on the beach years ago and noticed lots of black particles in the usually clear water.

“I’m a typical person of my age who doesn’t know much about the environ-ment, so I went out and sought some information.”

By Roger RyanA SOMERVILLE couple has proved there is no age limit to falling in love.

Verena Ott, 90, and Bill Bouker, 87, have been friends for several years and were recently married in the park op-posite St John’s Retirement Village in Somerville, where they now live.

Born in Switzerland in 1923, Verena came to Australia in 1951. She joined Somerville Senior Citizens Club in 1977 and met Bill some years later through a card club where they discov-

ered a mutual interest in opera, ballet and country life.

Bill was born in Sale in 1926 and spent nearly 20 years in the army. He has been a member of the senior citi-zens club since 2004. The couple be-came fi rm friends, enjoying holidays and outings. For the past fi ve years they have taken cruises together.

A long-term volunteer with the Pink Ladies at Frankston Hospital, Verena was made a governor and life member and has also become only the second

life member of the senior citizens club. For many years Bill was a trainer for Frankston YCW, Oakleigh and Morn-ington football clubs.

Verena enjoys knitting and making dolls for a children’s charity for which Bill makes wooden doll’s cradles, trucks and trains.

The wedding was the fi rst between members of the senior citizens club since its inception in 1976.

The couple will honeymoon on a cruise at Christmas.

Old hearts come up trumps

HASTINGS Chamber of Commerce has failed to convince the federal gov-ernment to let it keep $45,000 received for the Renew Hastings program.

A $50,000 grant was received by the chamber in April from the Labor gov-ernment but it was not spent before the end of the 2012-13 fi nancial year and had to return all but $5000.

Last month, chamber president Lisa Dixon said the organisation received the money in April but spending it by June had presented “a pretty impossi-ble time frame” (Chamber plea to keep an unused $45K, The News, 29/10/13).

Renew Hastings is designed to pro-vide vacant shops under “licence to access agreements” to artists and com-munity groups.

The shops would be maintained until they became commercially viable or were redeveloped.

Ms Dixon said the program’s key elements included that people would stay in a shop for 30 days, there would be blanket public liability insurance

with occupiers paying $20 a week, and landlords would be protected contrac-tually.

Ms Dixon said the chamber had asked federal MP Greg Hunt to help them keep the money but was told it was a standard provision that all un-spent money allocated for a govern-ment program must be returned.

Tina McGuffi e of Mr Hunt’s offi ce said there was another potential fund-ing pool available and the chamber could apply for this.

“The application will be considered and then subject to review, a decision will be made. We’re still hopeful of a positive outcome,” she said.

Ms Dixon said three shops had been used by schools and University of the Third Age for static displays of art-work and promotional material.

There were at least 20 vacant shops at the time the government was asked to fi nance Renew Hastings.

Road damage compensationMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council will be compensated to the tune of about $130,000 by Linking Melbourne Authority for damage to the local road network caused by trucks during the building of Peninsula Link freeway.

Extensive construction traffi c damaged the condition and reduced the life of the surface of Bentons Rd and Hawkins Rd. The shire said its innovative scheme of “pavement condition indexing” paid dividends when the refund was calculated.

Continued from Page 1This lead him to scientists and ecologists, and

the “greening” of John Clarke began.“I asked really dumb questions. I didn’t under-

stand things. Nutrient response? What’s that?”Clarke knows a lot more now. He was in Hast-

ings a few weeks ago with seagrass partnership board members to attend a briefi ng with the Port of Hastings Development Authority, which has been charged by the state government to build a container port that will eventually handle 8-9 mil-lion containers a year, almost double the capacity of the Port of Melbourne.

The authority at last is beginning to engage with the community after being formed on 1 January 2011 and being given $110 million over four years by Premier Denis Napthine in April. It has held a series of briefi ngs with business, envi-ronmental and other special interest groups. It’s forming community consultation groups.

Clarke says Western Port is a special place that has been under greater pressure from human de-velopment for the past 30 years.

Increased sediment is one of the principal prob-lems. “Most of it comes from the northern end of the waterway because we drained Koo Wee Rup swamp.

“This was a bad idea. It was a huge, 50 miles by 15 miles sponge that fi ltered runoff before it entered Western Port. It was a work of genius by nature.”

Western Port Seagrass Partnership’s objectives include improving natural resource planning, management and research in Western Port. It en-courages, guides and sponsors research into sea-grass and the broader Western Port ecology “to ensure decision-making is based on sound scien-tifi c knowledge”. It aims to “accelerate the imple-mentation of protective and restorative works in the catchment and bay”.

Clarke said most scientifi c research done in re-cent decades referred to the Shapiro report. “Very few areas worldwide have had a Shapiro,” he said.

This was an early 1970s baywide envi ronmental study commissioned by the Liberal state govern-ment when the “Battle for Western Port” grabbed

national media attention as industrialists fought a bitter battle with scientists and conservationists over development of the region.

Western Port had been earmarked as the site for heavy industry by Premier Henry Bolte in the early 1960s. One plan called for a nuclear reactor on French Island and a causeway to the mainland. The State Electricity Commission bought up large tracts of land on the island and effectively “depopulated” it as farmers sold up and left.

BP built a refi nery at Crib Point, abandoned in the 1980s. John Lysaght Pty Ltd built a steel mill near Hastings, now owned by BlueScope Steel and in decline since the closure of its hot strip mill, and Esso built a gas refractionation plant near the steel mill, which still operates and is be-ing refurbished to take oil and gas from the re-cently opened Kipper fi eld in Bass Strait.

The grand experiment to make Western Port the “Ruhr of Victoria”, named after the heavily industrialised city in Germany, foundered when the government lost its appetite and a new appre-ciation of the environment became mainstream.

The Shapiro report, containing the research of many scientists and revealing the unique and sen-sitive ecology of Western Port, was a key reason why this occurred.

“We’re here to raise the profi le of seagrass,” Clarke said without a hint of irony.

The seagrass mob aims to promote partnership-based approaches to improve the understanding, protection and restoration of the ecosystems of Western Port and its iconic seagrass communi-ties, a signifi cant proportion of which has been lost.

“We need the right heads at the planning table to balance the interests of the environment and business.”

Clarke turns away from the shoreline and marches across the foreshore, back toward Hast-ings’ main street. He’s probably thinking about who he and Bryan Dawe will satirise in their long-running television spot later in the week.

“Welcome, Premier Denis Napthine. I see you’ve been on the seagrass. How are you feel-ing?”

ABOUT 150 people from across Vic-toria rallied on Hastings foreshore on Saturday, says Quit Coal volunteer Tif-fany Harrison.

Protestors gathered to oppose plans for a coal port in southern Victoria with Hastings, Corner Inlet (northeast of Wilsons Promontory National Park) and Ninety Mile Beach being touted as possible sites.

The brown coal would come from the Latrobe Valley coalfi elds, which the Napthine state government is con-sidering expanding.

Ms Harrison said the looming threat of a coal port brought together com-munities that were “preparing to fi ght to protect their local environment, economy and lifestyle”.

“Hastings is one of three proposed sites, which is part of the Napthine government’s plans for a massive brown coal export industry,” she said.

“The Hastings project threatens high value conservation areas, including in-ternationally signifi cant Ramsar sites.

“The port also threatens local in-

dus tries, including tourism, boating and fi shing, which rely on the pristine natural environment, and poses major health risks to the community.”

Ms Harrison said people at the rally were addressed by speakers from Envi-ronment Victoria, Blue Wedges Coali-tion, the Greens, Quit Coal, Western-port and Peninsula Protection Council president Karri Giles, and Dan Boland, a farmer from McGaurans Beach, part of Ninety Mile Beach.

“Mr Boland’s family has farmed their land for generations and are the McGaurans after which the area is named.

“Mr Boland only found out two months ago about the proposed port, and has found authorities to be un-cooperative in providing more infor-mation. While the brown coal export developments have been planned for years, there is very little information publicly released. The public is very concerned by the lack of consultation and the provision of information.”

She said peninsula residents were

joined by groups from Gipps land, in-cluding Mirboo North and McGaurans Beach, and from Mel bourne.

Meanwhile, the newly formed West-ern Port branch of the Liberal Party is holding a fundraiser for Hast ings state MP Neale Burgess at a Hastings res-taurant next Monday.

Ports Minister David Hodgett will be guest speaker and his topic will be the Hastings container port.

Hastings estate agent Chris Watt will announce the formation of Friends of the Port of Hastings, which he says “aims to counter some of the nega-tive publicity being generated by local green groups about the future of our port”.

Mr Watt said once things get roll-ing “there will be an enormous surge in real estate and employment-related activity in the area, which will benefi t all [property] owners in the port zone, particularly those in the Hastings, Ty-abb and Somerville areas north of the Hastings township”.

HISTORICAL accounts and stories of early homes, leisure activities, fi re brigades, football teams, buildings, ferries, group gatherings and street scenes are included in Hastings – People and Places, Vol. IV to be launched by the Hastings-Western Port Historical Society.

The illustrated, 135-page book features the families of Davis, Fisher, Dyall, Stockton, champion cyclist Hec Sutherland, Barclay, Slocombe, Mentiplay and Kippe among others.

The book also contains the popular

Gone But Not Forgotten section with photos of the Ladies Bathing Box in Hastings, Athenaeum Hall, Jelbart Road Roller, Toakley’s Jewellers and the Redbird wreck that can be seen from the pier.

As Joy Coleman explains in the foreword: “This book depicts diverse stories and photographs of life and times since the settling of a primitive little fi shing village named Star Point in 1864. The tide of Hastings has ebbed and fl owed with much lost and much gained.”

Edited by Shirley Davies, Rita Cooper and Beryl Stockton, members of the historical society, the book has been four years in preparation.

Available in both hardback ($50) and paperback ($30) the book can be bought from Hastings Museum.

It is hoped author and historian Leila Shaw, whose titles include She’s Apples and The Way We Were, will launch the book at the Hastings Senior Citizens Hall, Herring St, on Saturday 23 November at 2pm.

Hospital fails to meet emergency targetsBy Chris BrennanFRANKSTON Hospital has been re vealed as among the state’s worst-performing emergency departments, failing to meet the majority of tar-gets set by the state government for timely treat-ment of patients.

Victorian hospital annual reports tabled recent-ly in state parliament show nearly all emergency departments struggled to transfer patients from ambulances within specifi ed time frames over the past fi nancial year.

Frankston Hospital, which is operated by Penin-sula Health, was able to transfer patients from am-bulances within the required 40-minute time frame just 56 per cent of the time – well short of the target of 90 per cent set by the state government.

This was a key cause of ambulances “ramping” at hospitals and was undermining Ambulance Victoria’s ability to respond to new cases.

Ambulance Victoria data shows ambulance re-

sponse times have gone backward for the third year in a row, with 27 per cent of life-threating emergencies not responded to within 15 minutes and nearly a quarter of ambulance transfers to hospitals taking longer than 40 minutes.

The performance data for the hospital also showed that only 49 per cent of emergency pa-tients were able to leave with four hours, despite a target of 75 per cent, while just 54 per cent of cate gory 2 elective surgery patients were treated within 90 days, well short of the target.

However, Rosebud Hosptial, also operated by Peninsula Health, performed far better, meeting or exceeding most of the treatment targets.

Labor MP Jude Perera said the reports showed patients were suffering at hospitals across the state as they were forced to wait longer for am-bulances to arrive as well as emergency care and elective surgery.

Mr Perera, whose electorate takes in a large

portion of Frankston City, said the Napthine gov-ernment had “lost control” of the health system and accused Frankston independent MP Geoff Shaw of “sitting on his hands and doing nothing” to remedy the situation.

“These documents prove what doctors, nurses and paramedics have been saying for a long time now – that our health system has never been as bad as it is now.

“The state’s health system is struggling to cope and is starved of resources due to $826 million in Napthine government cuts,” Mr Perera said.

“These reports show the government is failing everywhere – in our clogged emergency depart-ments, in providing elective surgery, and through the performance of our ambulance system.

“Frankston Hospital is feeling the pressure too, failing on nearly all of its key indicators.”

The state Labor Opposition also accused the Napthine government of preventing the release of

data detailing falling ambulance response times.Labor’s Parliamentary Secretary for Health,

Wade Noonan, said Opposition request to access the data had been denied for the reasons that the data would “undermine public confi dence in the ambulance service” and cause a “downturn in Ambulance Victoria memberships”.

The letter outlining the rejection of Labor’s re-quest also stated that the information could cause a “public controversy”, and could be used in the current EBA dispute with the ambulance union.

“This action by Ambulance Victoria strikes at the heart of the integrity of the Freedom of In-formation regime in Victoria,” Mr Noonan said.

The Peninsula Health annual report was among dozens of major metropolitan hospital, Depart-ment of Health and Ambulance Victoria annual re-ports to be tabled before parliament on the last day allowable under reporting requirements in a move labelled as a “cynical dump” by the Opposition.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire offi cers, ward councillor David Garnock and agency representatives saw for themselves the diffi culties faced by people getting around Hastings town centre and surrounding streets on mobility scooters.

As part of the Mornington Peninsula

Scooter Recharge Scheme, an initiative where local organisations and businesses provide a power point for people to recharge the batteries of their mobility scooter free of charge, the “Tour de Hastings” late last month saw participants, including road safety offi cials, tackle obstacles to shopping

and generally getting around the town.With the assistance of Westernport

Mobility, participants were able to gain a better understanding of problems and an idea of what needs to be done to make life easier for scooter riders.

SPRING is when Mornington Penin-sula Shire “installs” a tinder-dry incen-diary strip along the edges of all the shire’s roads, says a leading conserva-tion group in the region.

Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association (SPIFFA) says the use of weed-killer by the shire and VicRoads spraying and killing two-metre woody weeds – and everything around and under them – creates “a bushfi re waiting to happen at the last place in the district you need a fi re to start: the base of Arthurs Seat”.

“Meanwhile, some of our last biodi-versity, on roadsides, languishes under a heavy load of highly fl ammable an-nual grassy weeds, boneseed, pitto-sporums and pines. Removing most of those roadside weedy ‘fuel’ plants is easily within the current works ca-pability and could be done by properly directed pruning crews. This is not confi ned to this part of the shire.

“All roadside pruning should also aim to eliminate any woody weeds en-countered on the road reserve, even if only for fuel reduction purposes.

“Spraying the same plants year in, year out, usually with the same non-specifi c (kills everything) herbicide is the sure-fi re way to create herbicide-resistance. Everyone with a basic chemical user’s certifi cate learns that.

“Many drains are sprayed in this shire. Spraying herbicides near a wa-terway is specifi cally prohibited on the label and is therefore illegal without

a special permit. Spraying drains is spraying near a waterway. Drains are waterways. When it rains, any excess herbicide goes into solution again and washes into a bigger waterway.”

SPIFFA believes that “the sustain-able shire” is lagging far behind oth-ers in respect of its continued exces-sive, lazy, “chemical-mowing” use of herbicides like Roundup and wants to see the shire carry out yearly audits of herbicide use and commit to reducing that year by year.

The conservation group also be-lieves that very signifi cant fuel load reductions could be made by manag-ing weeds on roadsides with the proper resourcing and methodology. “This doesn’t need to cost a fortune; it just needs to be expertly informed, system-atic and sustained. Herbicide should always be the last resort.”

Rye, St Andrews Beach and Blair-gowrie on the Nepean section of the peninsula were included on the list of 42 high fi re danger towns in Victoria in the wake of the devastating fi res of Black Saturday in February 2009, while Arthurs Seat, with a long and colourful fi re history, was not.

BOATS from the Coast Guard, Victoria Police, Victoria Marine Rescue, lifesaving clubs and the SES were blessed by the Venerable Alan Hughes, Archdeacon of Frankston, on Sunday.

The practise, organised by the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association for more than 30 years in conjunction with St Paul’s Anglican Church in Frankston, comes from European fi shing communities’ practice of blessing their fl eet’s safe return at the beginning of each fi shing season.

The event started with a church service at St Paul’s at 10am before participants walked down to Frankston pier.

Frankston Council had arranged a temporary gangway to enable people to walk on to the pier, which is undergoing renovation, expected to be completed by the end of November.

The Frankston Flotilla was the fi rst land-based coast guard HQ in Australia. Commander Anthony Mayall said the annual blessing of the Fleet was a symbol of his fl otilla’s preparation to safely provide an emergency service to the boating public on Port Phillip and Western Port.

“We encourage all the boating and fi shing fraternity to regularly check the serviceability of their vessel, ensure they have and use appropriate safety equipment, and to the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard App called Safetrx for every trip so if you need assistance, we will be able to locate you.”

The Safetrx App is at Google Play and the Apple App Store.For more details go to www.coastguard.com.au

WESTERNPORT TRACTORS & IMPLEMENTS 1863 FRANKSTON FLINDERS ROAD, HASTINGS. PH: 5979 2155.

REMEMBRANCE Day ceremonies were held throughout the region on Monday including at Hastings and Crib Point on the Western Port side of the peninsula.

More than 120 people braved a chill easterly wind coming off the water at Hastings’ war memorial on the foreshore.

The moving ceremony included laying of wreaths by pupils from Hastings primary, St Mary’s primary, Westpark Hastings primary and Crib Point primary.

The Australian Welsh Male Choir sang the Lord’s Prayer and the National Anthem before the reading of the Ode of Remembrance, followed by the Last Post, a minute’s silence and Reveille.

The Crib Point ceremony was organised by the primary school at its new memorial garden, a feature of which is a large anchor.

School principal Lisa Vandenbosch said the garden would be a focal point of the school and invited attendees to lay wreaths.

A representative of HMAS Cerberus placed a wreath from the Royal Australian Navy.

THE centenary of Anzac is to be commemorated in Flinders with a diverse range of community projects.

Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt used Remembrance Day on Monday to announce that the Flinders Anzac Centenary Community Grants Committee has approved 22 local projects from across the Mornington Peninsula, Western Port and Phillip Island.

The projects will be put to the Minister for Veterans Affairs, Senator Michael Ronaldson, for fi nal approval.

The new government has boosted

funding to Flinders to $125,000, a small increase on the $100,000 already allocated by the previous government.

Projects approved include a re-enactment of the fi ring of the Fort Nepean gun, which unleashed the British Empire’s fi rst shot of the First World War, the creation of a new war memorial at Red Hill and the completion of the Cowes cenotaph.

Other projects include the relocation of the Somerville war memorial and the creation of audio clips telling the stories behind fi ve local war

memorials, accessed by scanning a QR code attached to each memorial.

Mr Hunt said: “The centenary of Anzac will be the most signifi cant national period of commemoration in our nation’s history. The Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program will give the local community the opportunity to honour the service and sacrifi ce that epitomises the Anzac spirit.”

Projects confi rmed for Western Port: Crib Point Primary School, memorial walk commemorating the six soldiers from Crib Point Primary

School who served; RPP-FM Radio Port Phillip, audio clips telling the individual stories of fi ve local war memorials, accessed by QR code; Pearcedale Hall Committee, creation of cenotaph and surrounding garden at the community hall; French Island Community Association, Anzac Day 2014 ceremony to honour French Island diggers and the erection of a fl ag pole; Tyabb Primary School, clay poppies to be fi red and painted by children as centre piece of remembrance garden; Flinders RSL sub-branch,

memorial at the Flinders cemetery listing all local diggers interred at the cemetery and overseas; Village Glen Residents’ Club Committee, Gallipoli centenary memorial; Moorooduc Primary School, creation of memorial garden and mosaic designed by students; People and Parks Foundation, commemorative fi ring of the Fort Nepean Gun on 5 August 2014; Mornington Peninsula Shire, relocation of Somerville war memorial to the Fruit Growers Reserve.

By Cameron McCulloughPOLICE are set to add a new weapon to their arsenal – vehicles with externally mounted cameras that can scan number plates while moving.

Police previously had to be parked to operate the cameras.

Four so-called BlueNet vehicles are expected to hit the road later this month or in December.

One will be based at Carrum Downs police station and patrol Frankston and Mornington Peninsula roads.

BlueNet has been developed by Victoria Police and is the fi rst fully integrated Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system in Australia. The system is designed to catch unregistered vehicles, “vehicles of interest” and unlicensed drivers.

Police said “this technology gives police greater ability to detect and remove more high-risk and unauthorised drivers and unregistered vehicles from Victorian roads”.

“Unauthorised drivers pose a high risk to road users and the expansion of the BlueNet program will substantially improve our detection rates,” Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said.

The vehicles are an improvement on the existing system where a roadside camera scans number plates and a combined police and sheriff department operation further along the road stops drivers.

ANPR operations appear to target lower socioeconomic areas with recent police operations in Hastings and Rosebud West, and a high success rate for operations in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

By Mike HastCONSTRUCTION of the $14 million Arthurs Seat chairlift could start as early as next spring and be completed before the end of 2015, says project chief Simon McKeon.

Mr McKeon, head of Arthurs Seat Skylift, said it was hoped to submit a “package of reports” to Mornington Peninsula Shire and Parks Victoria be-fore the end of the year.

“If all goes well, we’re hoping to get approval by the end of the fi rst quarter of 2014,” he told The News.

“We’ll run a tender process with major chairlift makers such as Poma and Doppelmayr, and hope to start as-sembly and construction this time next year.”

Mr McKeon said it would be manu-factured overseas as there was no one in Australia making gondola chairlifts, but Skylight company would use local builders for top and bottom stations, which would include kiosks/cafes.

The all-gondola lift would arrive in boxes, assembled and lifted into place.

When it opens, it will be more than nine years since the iconic peninsula attraction last operated.

It was permanently shut down by WorkSafe in May 2006 after the last of three major incidents, which included the January 2003 collapse of one of eight pylons that injured 12 people and stranded dozens more.

In March 2004 an elderly woman’s legs were crushed when her chair slid down the cable and collided with an-other chair.

Mr McKeon said the company had been busy since he addressed a

Dromana public meeting in March.“We’re asking Parks Victoria to in-

vest $1.5 million to improve Arthurs Seat State Park, mainly for extra park-ing.

“We didn’t want to race ahead.”He said there had been plans to up-

grade the state park for many years.The existing parking area at the bot-

tom of Arthurs Seat would be redesign-ed to accommodate more vehicles. An existing overfl ow area would be im-proved.

A new parking area would be needed at the top, he said.

Arthurs Seat Skylift had commis-sioned reports to go with approval ap-plications, he said.

“We’ve done reports on such things as erosion, fi re, acoustics, the environ-ment, and cultural heritage with only the fi re plan yet to be fi nalised.”

He said Arthurs Seat was a recog-nised “hot spot” and the company had been consulting with the CFA.

“We’ll be able to get everyone off the chairlift in seven minutes in the event of a fi re,” he said. There would be a large tank of water for fi ghting fi res.

A lookout tower would be built as part of stage two.

“We’ll get the chairlift up and run-ning before considering the tower.”

The project will require clearing of a wider corridor up the mountain. The existing corridor is 8-10 metres wide. Mr McKeon said the gondola lift would need about 14 metres.

Trees would be planted after the chairlift had been installed, he said. “We want to plant as close to the chair-lift as possible.”

Start in sight: Artist’s drawing of the Arthurs Seat chairlift top station released by the preferred consortium headed by Simon McKeon in May 2011. No new drawings have been released as yet. The viewing tower at right will be built in stage two.

New chairlift by 2015 summerNew chairlift by 2015 summer

He said Skylift had identifi ed private land next to the state park and would offer it to Parks Victoria as a so-called vegetation offset for any clearing.

Arthurs Seat Skylift was selected by the Brumby Labor government in Oc-tober 2010 to build a chairlift. It was given a 50-year lease, which required an amendment of the National Parks Act.

At the time, it was hoped the chairlift would be operating by 2013.

Mr McKeon said Skylift hoped the chairlift would be used by a wide vari-ety of people including senior citizens,

people with a disability and students. The gondolas would enable people to ride up the mountain in varied weather conditions.

Skylift is aiming to capture the mid-term, midweek market, not just sum-mer.

Mr McKeon – the 2011 Australian of the Year, Macquarie Group Mel-bourne offi ce executive chairman and CSIRO chairman – said there would be no problem raising the capital. There were four shareholders: Mr McKeon, former aircraft maintenance engineer Hans Brugman and two other men, one

of whom is a friend of McKeon’s.Meanwhile, former chairlift operator

Richard Hudson told The News he was still negotiating to install the old chair-lift in the Adelaide Hills.

He said “the machine is in a Droma-na workshop and has been upgraded”.

The proposal was being considered by the SA government, he said. It had the backing of SA Opposition Leader Steven Marshall.

A proposal to build a new one was being considered by Adelaide Hills Council.

CHRISTMASPARTYPACKAGES

By Chris BrennanA TYABB church’s highly valued tan-dem trailer used for vital charity work has been stolen, the third time a trailer has been stolen from the organisation.

Western Port Christian Family Church pastor Rod Whitford said the trailer, valued at about $2500, was stolen from the garage of his home in The Crescent down the road from the church overnight Monday last week.

“It was stored in an open garage at my home and it was padlocked but that doesn’t seem to have slowed them down one bit,” Mr Whitford said.

“It’s the third time we’ve had a trail-er stolen now. It’s so frustrating and a major inconvenience to us.”

The trailer was used by the church for gardening work, to pick up and deliver emergency food parcels for Western Port Community Care, and for taking unusable items dumped out-side the Tyabb Op Shop to the tip.

It had been insured but the policy had accidently lapsed after Mr Whit-ford was forced to undergo a heart by-pass operation recently.

“We used it every week but now we have no way of getting to the tip or anywhere else, and no way to replace it,” Mr Whitford said.

“A lot of work was put into build-ing it by a lot of people throughout the community, which makes the theft even more distressing.”

The church’s original trailer was stolen about 10 years ago and was not replaced until 2010 when a grant from Mornington Peninsula Shire enabled Mr Whitford to purchase a new one to help carry out charity work.

“We had it for only three days. It was

Thieves hit Tyabb church again

stolen from inside the church grounds. That one was padlocked as well, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference.”

For the fi rst time in 40 years living at Tyabb, Mr Whitford is now mak-ing sure his garage is securely locked

every day. “These things leave you feeling violated. It’s an invasion of pri-vacy and it makes you feel vulnerable within your own community.”

Hastings police are investigating the latest theft but said it was unlikely the

trailer would be located as any distin-guishing features could be easily re-moved.

Anyone with information regarding the theft is asked to call Crime Stop-pers on 1300 333 000.

Third time unlucky: The tandem trailer stolen from Western Port Christian Family Church was used for charity work.

Crossing dangerCrossing dangerFOR the third time in as many weeks a vehicle has rocketed over the pedes-trian crossing in the centre of Hastings while I have been on it, attempting to get to the other side alive and un-dented.

Today (29 October) a truck stopped on the west side with huffi ng and puffi ng of airbrakes while a more ag-ile tray ute with number plate letters REG, coming the other way, didn't.

I continued walking, as was my right, in the hope REG would do the right thing. He did, he missed me.

Clearly REG was headed for a park-ing space outside Beach Hut and didn't spot me on my stick, or wonder why the truck had stopped.

I am a small person, but my stick is bound in fl uoro orange ribbon to help avoid collisions.

I know others have had the same near death experience on that crossing.

What does it take to observe ba-sic courtesy and road rules in a busy township? No doubt in this nanny state there is a hefty fi ne for whacking a pedestrian on a crossing, but please avoid such a mess in our town. This means you REG.

Passionate dedication to the communityPassionate dedication to the communityOBITUARY

Edward Gordon Thomas Gray, 1932-2013Hastings businessman and community elder

By Peter McCulloughGORDON Gray lived in Hastings for 48 years and was widely known in the community. One of his favourite stories, which many people heard, was that his sister gave him a burial plot in Euroa cemetery for his 21st birthday. He’d chuckle and say: “It’s one of those presents where you can say it will come in handy one day.”

For Gordon, that day has come: he died at the Fred Bayne Centre in Hastings on 26 Octo-ber and on 1 November about 100 family and friends attended a memorial service at Hastings Bowling Club.

Gordon and his late wife Bev ran several busi-nesses in Hastings, initially a general store, then the Foodland supermarket, and fi nally a hard-ware store, Grays’ Hardware, which morphed into Mitre 10.

Many older residents recall Gordon’s generous approach in allowing credit on groceries when times were tough. Over the decades he was involved in a variety of community groups and events; in recent years the Rotary Club of Hast-ings Western Port and Hastings Bowling Club were his predominant interests.

The service to celebrate Gordon’s life was conducted by celebrant Ernest Rigby and the eulogy was given by his eldest daughter, Janette. Geoff Harvey of Rotary and Bill Wood of the bowling club spoke about his signifi cant contri-bution to the two clubs.

His daughter said Hastings had welcomed the Gray family 48 years ago after arriving from a similar community to Euroa where her father was born on 21 November, 1932.

Christened Edward Gordon Thomas Gray he

was always known as Tommy in Euroa while in Hastings everyone knew him as Gordon. His fi rst name, Edward, never seemed to rate a men-tion, his daughter said.

From an early age he was involved in a wide variety of community groups: cubs, scouts, air cadets, football, tennis and the town band.

On leaving school he was employed by the Euroa Co-Op which provided supplies to the township and the surrounding farming com-munity.

In the early 50s all young men in Australia were required to undertake a period of six months national service. His family was focused on his career, particularly the completion of a sign-writing course which he had just begun. This, combined with a shortage of staff at the Co-Op, led to what the family referred to as “an amendment of the birth certifi cate,” leaving him able to fi nish his course and go to national service at a later date.

It was on the tennis court that he met Bev Palm-er, a farmer’s daughter from Strathbogie. Married life for the couple began with the building of the

fi rst family home in the community of Myrtleford. After seven years there, where Mr Gray man-

aged the Co-Op, they moved temporarily to the Melbourne suburb of Bentleigh while they searched for a business to buy.

They bought the general store on the corner of High and King Streets in Hastings and began their fi rst venture into small business.

In the 1960s Mr Gray became chairman of the Hastings Sewerage Authority and, in partnership with the late Jim Paton, succeeded in having a sewerage system installed in the town.

The establishment of a high school in Hast-ings was another endeavour, together with other committed parents. He was a member of the School Council for many years, including an extended term as chairman.

The establishment of a Rotary Club in Hast-ings provided a further avenue for his commu-nity work.

Mr Harvey recalled that Hastings Rotary was established on 24 January, 1969 with 18 charter members, one being Mr Gray. Over the follow-ing 44 years he fi lled many roles: secretary, then

president, treasurer, and international services director. He was a Paul Harris Fellow, named after the founder of Rotary International, and in 2010 was awarded the Sapphire pin, the highest honour available to a Rotarian.

Because of his involvement with the School Council, Rotary became heavily involved in the High School. He organised the Hastings Day Ball in the late ’70s, and was a participant in the running of the Coolart Jazz Festival. He was the instigator of Rotary’s involvement in the Emu Plains market in 2004, and was involved in the running of the Hastings street market.

Mr Wood spoke of Mr Gray’s involvement in the Hastings Bowling Club which he joined in 1985 and spent many years on the committee of management including a term as chairman between 1996 and 1999.

He played in premiership teams and was successful in club championships on several occasions.

The Western Port News extends its sympathy to Gordon’s four daughters (Janette, Mandy, Julie, and Haley) and his eight grandchildren.

A life in pictures: Clockwise from top left, Gordon attempts to spoil a mark in his Myrtleford jumper. Note the dog on the fi eld; in the air cadets; Gordon and Bev with their daughters Mandy, Haley, Julie and Janette at their home in Coolart Rd in the early 1980s; relaxing in the Queensland sunshine at age 77.

SOME common observations or concerns with regards to children’s feet and legs include: fl at feet, growing pains and shin pain.

These are often of great concern to parents, so we asked leading Sports Podiatrist, Dr Paul Dowie from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify.

Flat FeetIt’s a common misconception that the appear-ance of fl at feet in children, is cause for concern. This is not always the case. The presence of fl exible fl at feet in children is usually painless and perfectly ‘normal’ in many cases. In very young children, the ‘fat pad’ in the arch of the foot may give an appearance of a fl at foot but this is often not the case.

The important thing to understand is that fl at feet are not something parents should worry about, unless there is pain or balance issues.

Children with diagnosed fl at-foot deformity will have instability in the foot and therefore foot, arch, heel, or ankle pain.

Excessive rolling inward of the ankles also often leads to lower back, hip, knee, or leg pain. If a child regularly complains of pain and it’s interfering with normal play and leading to inactivity, it should always be investigated by a podiatrist experienced with assessing and treat-ing musculoskeletal issues, optimally a Sports Podiatrist.

Pigeon toe & Out toeThe appearance of in-toeing (pigeon toes) or out-toeing (duck feet) may affect the capacity of a child to run, jump or balance well. These issues may be assisted during the developmental years and can be thoroughly checked by a sports podiatrist.

Growing PainsNon-specifi c growing pains in children and teenagers are a common complaint, often caus-ing deep ache-like leg pain during the night. Specifi c infl ammatory growing pains can be evident in the heel (Sever’s disease or calcaneal apophysitis) or at the knee (Osgood-schlatters disease). These are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones, particularly in very active kids. In such cases physical activity should be reduced and a sports podiatrist con-sulted as soon as possible. With correct manage-ment, sporting activities can be continued.

Shin PainMedial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), anterior leg pain and compartment syndrome, all com-monly referred to as shin splints, are also quite common. Again, these issues should be checked by a sports podiatrist and with proper diagnosis, can often be easily addressed.

If you or your child have any foot or leg pain you can get expert help from Dr. Dowie at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza. Mention this article when booking and get $50 off initial consultations. Call 1300 328 300.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 November 1913.VERY unsatisfactory conditions prevail at the new State school, No. 3544. About a fortnight ago the head teacher, Miss Audley, was taken ill, and obtained leave of absence on that account. For several days, however, no teacher was sent to take her place, and nobody seemed to know when one was expected to arrive. Since then, a teacher from the suburbs was in attendance for a few days only, and during the past week the school has remained empty again, with the result that the children are left wandering about the roads, after having put in an appearance at the school to see if a teacher has arrived or not.

***IN aid of some local deserving cause or charity yet to be named, about Xmas time a high-class concert is proposed to be given in Frankston. The artists, which will include Melbourne’s best professional artists and theatricals, will be the guests of Mornington Road residents, who will organise and manage the concert.

***THE Frankston Brass Band will play in the street this evening (weather permitting). A collection will be taken up in aid of the uniform fund. The secretary of the Frankston Sports Club (Mr J. A. Benson) desires to acknowledge, with thanks, donations of 10s 6d each from Mr H. M. Collins and Mr L. R. N. Utber.

***MR A. Edwards, of Geelong, has disposed of his cottage in Waterloo

Place, Mornington, to Mr J. McLellan, of Three-Chain Road, Moorooduc, at a satisfactory price.

***DURING the Cup Carnival we note from the Melbourne weekly papers that amongst the guests at the Grand Rose, Melbourne, were Major, Mrs and the Misses Campbell, of Amesfi eld Park, Frankston.

***THE Glideway (Queensland) Sheffi eld handicap was last week won by the ex-Frankstonite, Frank Jolly. This is the fi rst time he has donned the spike shoes in Queensland since he ran at the last local New Year’s Day Sports. Jolly won his heat and semi-fi nal which he won by a clear yard.

***TENDERS for the publican’s booth and the refreshment booth for the Mornington races, which take place at the Drywood Estate racecourse on Tuesday, December 2nd, close with the secretary, Mr H. Downward, on Wednesday next, 19th inst. Entries for the various events close on Monday, November 24th.

***AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs Crawford and Clements, J.P., A. Coxall, for failing to send his child to school the required number of days, was fi ned 5s. Wm Tabb sued John E. Burke for £2 15s, for work and labour done, but the Bench decided, after hearing the evidence, which was in direct confl ict, of both parties, to adjourn the case for 11 days.

***

A MEETING of the Mount Eliza Branch of the P.L.P. was held on Wednesday last, Mrs Jas Grice presiding. Miss McDowell explained the objects of the proposed union of the P.L.P. and People’s Party, and it was unanimously decided that amalgamation would be desirable. The name of the Union will be the Victorian Liberal Union, and

will consist of Men’s League and Women’s League.

***THE Mornington Schools excursion to Royal Park took place on Wednesday last. Although it rained incessantly in the early morning, it abated before the train left Mornington, and fi ne weather prevailed until the afternoon, when a few showers fell. On the whole, the outing was a great success and

most enjoyable. Over 400 adults and children from Mornington and Osborne boarded the special, and a good number were picked up at Moorooduc, Mornington Junction, and Langwarrin.

***THE last of the series of socials held under the auspices of St. Paul’s Club, Frankston, eventuated in the Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening last. There was a splendid attendance, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Mr R. T. Picking acted as chairman, and the following programme was gone through: Orchestral item, Frankston Orchestra; part song, St. Paul’s Choir; song, Miss A. Bowell; song, Mr W. G. Jennings (encore); recitation, Miss Sheridan; orchestral item, Frankston Orchestra; comedietta, “A Regular Fix,” Messrs Elliott, Allan, Hague, Bailey and Ellis, and Misses Williams, Reynolds, Picking and Baxter. After the programme, the chairman thanked those who had so ably assisted, especially Mr Jennings for the trouble he had taken. Supper was then handed round, after which a short dance, which proved very enjoyable, was held.

***CR Geo. Keast, our old-established storekeeper, has invested in a handsome Ford motor car. This is, we understand, the fi rst importation of the kind to Somerville, and we wish Mr Keast every success on his new venture.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason conducted a successful sale here on Wednesday. There was a good

yarding and good prices were realised. Cattle were sold up to £6 6s, heifers to £2 2s, springers to £2 16s. Pigs and horses were also disposed of at satisfactory prices. A painful accident occurred to Mr D. McLaurin on Friday last. He was using an axe, which, in some manner slipped, and infl icted. a nasty gash in his instep, which necessitated medical treatment. We will be pleased to learn of Mr McLaurin’s speedy recovery.

***THE anniversary services of the Methodist Church here was celebrated on Sunday last, when Rev. G. H. Neilson preached three sermons. The 10.30 a.m. service was for the Sunday School children, and the subject of “Spiders” interested them very much. The kindergarten children sat on the platform in their special chairs, and after the service took their places in their classroom, and parents visited them while at their studies. The afternoon and evening services were well attended. A special feature of the services was the singing by an augmented choir in the church. Those who were capable of judging stated that it was the best music given by the choir in the church. The ‘parts’ were nicely balanced. The anthems rendered were:- “Bless the Lord O My Soul,” “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sound,” and “ What are these.” Miss Annie Barber tastefully and sympathetically offi ciated at the organ. Mrs Alfred Thornell decorated the church in her artistic manner, and the minister publicly commented on the beauty of the decorations. The collections for the day amounted to £16 odd.

THE Melbourne Cup long weekend began the infl ux to downtown Rye, it’s been and gone for now until the dreaded carnival arrives along with Greeks, Italians, Croatians, Lebanese, Asians, Latvians and Aussies accompanied by Range Rovers, Utes and jet skis. A veritable multicultural mishmash. Funny if we did the switch; 20,000 on a holiday in Melbourne, sashay along Swanston Street, fi ve, six, seven abreast, bugger anyone wanting to pass, eating ice creams, shorts and bare chests for men, bikinis for the ladies, iPhones listening to Sir Cliff Richard, ankle-biters and barking Shih Tzus. Trapped all of January, unless willing to risk life and limb on the long drive to Chelsea to lunch with my sisters. Not to worry, a small price to pay for 11 months of relative peace, assuming I can safely walk across the road to the Rye RSL. Think positive! Good for small businesses, Woolworths and Coles, (no specials ’till late February, except for cokes). Welcome all?

***I’M no Big Brother watcher; maybe a few episodes years back was enough. The real fascination is the reaction I get when I occasionally lie and suggest I’m looking forward to tonight’s episode, or whatever. “How can you watch that rubbish?” and the like, mostly with a superior attitude as to taste. This same reaction (though not as harsh) can come from ABC

and/or SBS World News viewers; ditto Age readers and behavioural type documentary watchers. I’ve yet to meet a sensible person who does not watch “rubbish” at some time or other. Why should they feel a sense of superiority purely because of any television show?

***MONEY may well be the root of all evil but it surely stands head and shoulders as No1 for true love. Being “in love” with your darling and love of your children, maybe even your country are high on the list, but money love reigns supreme. Heart love carries with it hope, fear, jealousy and sweet dreams. True, people regularly say money is not important, but it’s never by people who have none. All about “happiness” perhaps, but no money, no nothing. Money carries wisdom, honour, fame, graft and respect, earned or otherwise. “This is she on whom the whole world waits hand and foot, the all-powerful and all-ruling Goddess Money. No? Ask Andrew Demetriou.

***HEALTH Minister David Davis is banning smoking at train stations early next year to “improve the health and wellbeing of public transport users”. Pure clear air, apart from thousands of motor vehicles driving past while waiting. Bye-bye passive smoke, a scientifi c fact according to medical gurus. I commend, indeed

agree with all those people writing to newspapers on climate change backed by substantial scientifi c evidence. What bothers me is many of them wrote those same letters on passive smoking where, to my knowledge, there has never been any scientifi c proof. A strange set of preferences. Kids living in the streets, families living with poverty, a 15-year wait for public housing and our politicians are concerned about train stops?

***“SMALL business does better under a Liberal government”. I’ve heard this mournful cry for the past 50 years from the many letters to newspapers and some of my “business” friends. For the life of me I have yet to see evidence of small business owners doing better under either government. Promises, promises. Maybe they simply “feel” more secure, for unknown reasons. Small Business Minister Bruce Billson is on the job, looking at the 80 per cent market share of Coles and Woolworths. Expect nothing.

***AS a teenager it was generally accepted among my mates (similar to The Dead End Kids movies of the1930s) that my taste in music (songs, back then) was corny. This opinion remained over the years and survives to this day and I still don’t understand why? I have a spot on Arts About (3RPP 98.7 Sundays 11am to

midday) and nominate a song each week. Same comments - corny? Recently I nominated Gay Pirates by Cosmo Jarvis and the comment was “a very hip to the moment artist/song- very impressed”. Bully for me; I’ve graduated, become arty-farty? Perhaps I’ll follow with Mario’s Ave Maria followed by Slim Dusty? Corny? It’s called taste.

***YES, I’m well aware there’s lots to write about on our political front; Tony’s live export switch, ditto the boats, weddings, Julie as Foreign Minister, Christopher Pyne re-writing teaching methods but after a long year of politics I thought I’d give it all a miss for a month. Anyway, it’s amusing reading all those letters from Liberal voters justifying Tony’s every move.

***HAVING said that, our mate Joe Hockey, best known as the Minister for Orchestrated Misinformation (“it’s time now to listen to the Australian people”?) is to axe the mining tax costing us $3.5 million, but not to worry, the cutting of the Schoolkids Bonus, the Low Income Superannuation Contribution and the Income Support Bonus will more than cover our losses. Joe (middle name blow) is in there punching, for us. The more expensive high-income super accounts remain in force.

RANDOM thoughts: Find out who decided to improve packaging on almost everything we buy and jail them. Sleepmaker research into 1,000 people found two out of every three couples end the day by fi ghting; a simple “yes” would have solved their problems. Do you ever wonder what Eddie Obeid was like as a lad? Comic journalist master hypocrite Andrew Bolt: “Socialism is the refuge of the totalitarian”, on Clive Palmer; “sinister, irrational and a self-serving bully”; again the pot and the kettle. Forty per cent of underperforming teachers is plain nonsense; more accurately 90 per cent underperforming politicians. Leave my mate Ned (Kelly) in peace; he deserves it. A reconciliation game between St Kilda and Collingwood and another free trip for Nicky Winmar? Motive: more money for the AFL – to offset the Irish debacle? Dobbing in is a cancer, don’t fall for it.

A Grain of SaltBy Cliff Ellen

THE Rolling Stones’ Sweet Summer Sun - Hyde Park Live is released this week on DVD and Blu-Ray, and Shock Entertainment has given The News a promotional prize pack to give away.

It contains a DVD, Blu-Ray and T-shirt and could be yours by sending your name and address on the back of an envelope to: Rolling Stones Live, MP News Group, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915.

Chronicling the Stones’ triumphant return to London’s Hyde Park with a two-hour live concert, the highlights package includes new and unseen backstage footage.

More than 100,000 delirious fans packed the venue for two spectacular concerts to see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood do what they do best.

The Stones delivered a fi ve star performance packed with hits such as Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Miss You, It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll, Gimme Shelter, Doom and Gloom and Sympathy for the Devil, as well as one or two surprises.

Jagger said: “It was a great gig…It was beautiful with the sun going down over Hyde Park. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Rolling Stones’ 50 years than doing it on our home patch in front of 100,000 people on a glorious summer night…enjoy it… we certainly did.”

Richards commented: “Coming back to Hyde Park was like a full circle being drawn, and the band were in top form. We thought what could be more appropriate than having a great summer in London.”

From the second the Stones stepped onto the stage each night, through to the dazzling pyrotechnic display that heralded the end of the show, fans old and new were treated to a non-stop, hit after hit performance, which took them through the Stones’ huge back catalogue. Richards wowed the crowds by weaving his charismatic guitar licks with Wood’s immense

solos, Jagger was on spectacular form, his boundless energy on stage matched by a number of stunning outfi t changes, and Watts, the unfl appable heartbeat, driving the band on through the set.

Former guitarist Mick Taylor – whose live debut with the Stones took place at the original 1969 Hyde Park concert – joined the band on stage to guest on the bluesy Midnight Rambler and on closing track Satisfaction, while long-term live band members Lisa Fischer, Darryl Jones, Chuck Leavell, Bernard Fowler, Bobby Keys and Tim Ries all added their inimitable fl air and fi nesse.

Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live is the perfect way for concert-goers to relive their memories from the gigs, and for their fans to see the band back where they truly belong: live on stage in their hometown.

NINE long-lost episodes of Doctor Who not seen since the 1960s have been recovered from a storeroom in Nigeria.

The previously lost shows were among 11 traced to a TV relay station and the fi nd brings back to life an entire six episode story. Archive director Phillip Morris unearthed the programs by looking up the records of overseas shipments of tapes made by the BBC. Mr Morris said: “I remember wiping the dust off the masking tape on the canisters and my heart missed as l saw the words Doctor Who. The newly found stories included The Enemy of the World (1967) and The Web of Fear (1968), both starring Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor.

***AUSTRALIA Post has offi cially marked the start of the festive season with the release of this year’s Christmas stamps, featuring familiar emblems and the traditional Nativity scene.

“Australians enjoy sending and receiving their Christmas greetings through the post, it’s a more personal and real experience,” said Australia Post Managing Director and CEO Ahmed Fahour.

The two traditional Christmas stamps depict the Virgin Mary and Christ Child and shepherds adoring the Christ Child. They are based on a painting by Australian artist Paul Newton, which is shown fully in the miniature sheet.

The four non-traditional stamps feature familiar Christmas symbols: a Christmas tree, gift, candle and a bell. They are designed by Lisa Christensen of the Australia Post Design Studio.

When choosing Christmas cards, senders should remember to select standard sizes (no larger than 130mm x 240m) to qualify for the 55c stamp rate for Australia and $1.70 (New Zealand), $1.80 (Asia Pacifi c) or $2.55 (rest of the world) stamp rate

for overseas.The full stamp range is available

Live music from some of Victoria’s fi nest acts will keep people entertained while they enjoy and learn about beer.

The peninsula’s own Kisschasy, in their fi rst show in nearly two years, will headline the bill. Also featured are Twin Beasts (formerly the Toot Toot Toots), Fauves and The Quarry Mountain Dead Rats plus other acts to be announced.

“We are excited to be able to bring the festival back for a second year,” event director Rod Stoller said.

“We had loads of great feedback from last year so we are looking forward to bringing an even bigger and better festival for 2013.

“Several additions have been made for this year. Most notably this year’s festival will be a family-friendly event, with a designated children’s area featuring kids rides, face painting and other amusements.

“There will be several new breweries, a larger focus on wine, lots of new food stalls and a renewed focus on all things beer.”

The one- day festival is at Mornington Racecourse, Racecourse Rd, on Saturday 16 November.

By Stuart McCulloughCLAYTONS. In the 1980s and be-yond, it was said to be the drink you were having when you weren’t having a drink. It assumed that to be in a social setting without a glass in your hand was a form of heresy; right up with shaving your moustache off, failing to own a pair of thongs or being unable to open a beer bottle with your belt. More than that, it supposed we were a nation of soaks who would rather suck spilled grog from a cardboard place-mat than go without and, if faced with abstinence, would go to any lengths to avoid admitting we were on the wagon. Then along came Claytons, a placebo that made you feel a little saf-er, all the while assuring your friends that you hadn’t turned into some kind of killjoy. But more than just an eerily brown beverage, Claytons became a full-blown adjective.

The adverts may have disappeared, but the meaning has survived to this day. When people use the term now, they’re not referring to a substitute beverage but to something that, despite all outward appearances, falls short of the genuine article. A Claytons effort is not much of an effort at all. To be described as a “Claytons boyfriend” means that you’re only good for show. A Claytons offer is anything but genu-ine.

I don’t remember my father ever owning a bottle of the brown stuff. Instead, we preferred our placebo al-coholic beverages sweeter and with bubbles. It was called Maison and was, more or less, Fanta for grown-ups. Although it was basically pretend

champagne, our parents still thought it deserved the good crystal glasses. Maison was a feature at our family functions for decades but, in recent years, I’ve noticed it has receded in favour of the real thing. Maison prob-ably tastes a whole lot sweeter than Claytons, but that’s not enough for it to be used as an adjective. No one ever

speaks of a Maison anything. For years the term Claytons has had

the most hollow of rings. It was once an insult but is, I think, a far more adaptable term these days. Now that we have entered an age in which or-dinarily sane people, as well as Fabio, are prepared to declare that they “can’t believe it’s not butter”, it’s clear that

anything goes. For there is a time to be repulsed by fakery and a time to embrace it. After decades of resistance we are now, I think, living in the age of Claytons.

We were heading down to Tyabb for a visit. At the time, work was still continuing on Peninsula Link and, as a result, we were unable to take our normal route. Instead, we were greeted with a big yellow sign that said Detour. That it was directing me away from my normal route was un-settling, but if we ignored the sign and ploughed through a worksite, I fi gured there was a good chance we’d either be unable to get through or that sur-prised workers would deeply resent our intrusion. We decided to take the hint and turned left.

The rules of a detour are reasonably simple – you are directed away from your normal route but are returned to it once you’re past the obstacle. These rules have been with us for thousands of years and are well understood. Understood by all, that is, except for those responsible for this particular detour.

We were expected for lunch in Ty-abb, where the Maison runs free. However, having been diverted at Baxter, we now appeared to be head-ing directly towards Orbost. The land-scape began to change as a canopy of foliage closed in overhead. Clearly we were not in Kansas anymore, much less the greater Baxter region and I be-gan to whisper “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” under my breath. Still, the detour signs continued, directing us further into the wilderness.

It was unlike any detour I had ever experience before. If the road signs don’t bring you back on course, then it’s no longer a detour but a diver-sion. It was, in fact, a Claytons detour. Eventually, the road petered out alto-gether and we were left staring into the face of Bass Strait. I called my father and explained that we had been taken off course. All my brothers and sisters, it seemed, had already arrived and the fi rst bottle of Maison was open. I told him not to wait.

Robert Frost once wrote about tak-ing the road less travelled, claiming that it had made all the difference. At the time he posted those words on his blog, I’d like to think he was probably sipping from a tumbler full of Clay-tons. In an age of GPS, people take the road less travelled far less frequently than they used to. Granted, life is more effi cient that way, but it is less surprising also. Thanks to our Clay-tons detour, we were forced to travel through areas we otherwise wouldn’t have seen.

Getting blown off course can be strange but it can also give you a new perspective on things. In fact, that’s exactly how the best discoveries are made. If Alexander Fleming had done a better job tidying his lab, penicillin would never have been invented. He’d done a Claytons job only. Thank good-ness. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s something worth raising a glass of strange brown liquid to. Cheers. [email protected]

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyTHE majority of MPCA Provincial matches are in the balance as we head into day two this weekend.

The only match that appears to be all over is between Sorrento and Rye, where the Sharks are just 27 runs away from victory with 10 wickets in hand.

Rye’s ordinary start to the season continued on Saturday against its neighbour Sorrento, bowled out for just 118.

It appeared earlier though that Rye would not make it to 50 after the Sharks took the fi rst two wickets before Rye had scored a run.

At one stage the Demons were 3/5, before opener Tommy Barrand (12) and Ben Ashworth (27) stemmed the tide.

Skipper Darren Groves then contributed 16 and James Crowe 20, before wickets began to tumble again.

Of the 118 runs the Demons scored, 20 of them were extras.

Ryan O’Connor was the chief destroyer for the Sharks with 4/21 from 16 overs, while AJ King helped himself to 3/33 (including 10 maidens) from 21 overs to give him eight wickets for the season. Chris King claimed 2/35.

In reply, the Sharks faced the last 20 overs of the day and clubbed 0/92, Jedd Flack unbeaten on 36 and Nick Jewell not out 47.

It seems an outright win is on the minds of the Sharks.

Langwarrin old stagers Danny Weare and Mal Coutts saved their side from a shocking day with the bat against Mt Eliza.

Winning the toss, the Kangas lost

early wickets before Weare came to the crease. The left hander made 79 runs to take him past 200 (234) for the season. It was his second half century of the year to add to last week’s 105.

Coutts joined Weare with the score on 6/110 and enjoyed a 48-run partnership with him. Coutts went on to make 46 and help push the total to 210.

Tom’s Baron and Ewing took 3/56 and 3/66 respectively for the Mounties, while Sam Creffi eld claimed 2/28.

Long Island’s batsmen have plenty of work to do on day two against Mornington. After their bowlers did the job dismissing the dangerous Doggies for just 129, their top order wasn’t able to follow suit and will resume at 4/22 this week.

Earlier in the day, Scott Phillips

(4/54) and Andrew Tweddle (3/31) were at their best as they rolled the Dogs cheaply.

Jake Pankhurst (36) started well for the Dogs and made his highest score for the season. Jack Heseltine (35) was then required to dig deep after a fl urry of wickets. Ryan Martin (14) was the only other Mornington batsman to reach double fi gures.

Former Mornington skipper Luke Popov stepped right up to the plate when he was given the new ball to defend his team’s score.

Popov removed the top three batsmen in Paul Hartle, Aaron Paxton and Justin Bridgeman to send the Islanders onto the back foot. Stephen Hocking was the other out bastman.

Heatherhill has set Peninsula Old Boys 191 for victory.

A middle order fi ght back saw the Hills go from 3/15 to 6/152, thanks

largely to Nathan Martin (29), Matty Meagher (29) and Randil Gamage (68).

The Hills lost their last fi ve wickets for 38 runs.

Jon Forrest and Dylan O’Malley both snared three wickets each for the Old Boys while Justin Parkes opened with 2/9 from seven overs.

Baxter is in a commanding position against Mt Martha after making 9/246 on their home deck.

Dale Irving (52), Dean Sterry (51), Leigh Patterson (44) and Daniel Warwick (30) all got strong starts against the visitors.

Curtis Stone was the highlight for Mt Martha in what was otherwise a tough day. Stone claimed six wickets to give him 10 for the season.

DISTRICTBy IT GullyDELACOMBE Park continued its impressive start to the season with a strong batting performance against Hastings in round four of District cricket.

The Parkers won the toss on their home deck and elected to bat against the Blues.

The start was superb for the visitors, claiming the opening two wickets for just 19 runs. Better still, in-form batsman Jon Guthrie and his opening partner Andrew Christides were both back in the sheds.

However, this brought Chris Brittain (71) and Simon Dignan together at the crease. ‘Diggers’ was hampered by injury last season and missed a bit of cricket, however, he proved with an agonising 99 runs on Saturday just how important he is to this side.

Dignan was caught by Brad Watson off the bowling of Luke Hewitt, just one run short of his ton.

Nick Christides then helped himself to 25 to help the home team to 9/268.

Hewitt and Tim Birch were the best with the ball for the Blues with 3/55 and 3/90 respectively. Mitch Floyd opened with 2/12 from his 10 overs.

Seaford had a day out with the bat, scoring 9/257 against Ballam Park.

Skipper Damien Lawrence blasted 103 for

the home side while David Laing joined in the run feast with 53. At the tail, Geoff Smith contributed 33 to push the total past 250.

Matty Roach was the pick of the Knights’ bowlers with 4/82 from 19 overs, while Anthony Joel snared 2/29 and Matthew O’Malley 2/63.

Top-of-the-table Somerville has set Pines a more than reasonable target of 237 for victory.

The Eagles were in some early strife losing their top three batsmen for just one run.

Pines’ opening quicks Nick Wilcox and Brett Remy removed Keith Burdett (1), Nick Marshall (0) and Jack Barbour (0) and the home side was on the back foot.

Thankfully for the Eagles, the middle order was able to get things back on track.

Ben Delaney (20), Sam Delaney (43), Justin Allsop (57) and Jack Kennedy (55) all ensured that the Piners were going to have to chase a reasonable score to win.

Remy and Ricky Ramsdale both fi nished with three wickets to be the pick of the bowlers.

Boneo is very much right in its match against Carrum after a good afternoon with the ball.

Boneo lost the toss and was fi rst to take the new ball, which proved to be just fi ne for them.

The visitors picked up the fi rst two wickets with the score on three and then made light

work of the tail to end Carrum’s innings at 9/181 off its 80 overs.

Josh Dent top scored for Carrum with 65, Dylan Steed hit 39 and Shaun Foster 36 to give him 212 runs for the season.

Leigh Janssen was outstanding with the ball for Boneo, picking up fi ve wickets, while Chris Jobling and Cameron Williams took one each.

With less than 200 runs to get at Roy Dore Reserve, Boneo is a real show.

Main Ridge has placed itself in a strong position against Baden Powell after dismissing the home side for just 159.

Scott Millar bowled a whopping 40 overs for the Ridge to return the impressive fi gures of 3/76, including 14 maidens.

James Abbott bowled 20 overs and fi nished with 3/17.

Keeper-batsman Sam Mullavey top scored for the Braves with 53, while Rhys Elmi hit 27.

Corey Hand fell four runs short of a century (96) as his Seaford Tigers managed 246 against Flinders.

Hand, along with David James (41) and Warren Junkeer (30), helped the home side to a more than competitive total. Shane Beggs (4/53) was the best of the Flinders bowlers while Nathan Hunt also picked up a couple of wickets.

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyDROMANA had an unfamiliar day out with the bat on Saturday to place itself in a commanding position against Tyabb in Sub District cricket.

The Hoppers smacked 7/274 against the Yabbies at Tyabb Reserve, Jedd Savage outstanding with 113. Savage faced 166 balls and hit 13 fours and two sixes to assist his side to its best score in some time.

Mark Whitehead opened the innings and made a welcome return to form after his previous four innings netted just 25 runs. His 53 of 95 balls got his side away to the fl ier it needed and gave the skipper some real confi dence.

Zac Klan made 32 and then Mathew Schelfhout (27) and Jason McKenzie (26) made some valuable runs at the end of the innings for the visitors.

Frankston YCW has set Tootgarook 219 for victory after making 9/218 at Truemans Rd Reserve on Saturday.

A number of YCW batsmen made starts on the weekend, Mathew Lane the best of them with 58, while Peter Wilkins (30) and Paul Bradley (30) were the next best with the bat.

Frankston YCW declared its innings four overs short of its allotted 80 to have a late afternoon crack at the home side.

Tootgarook will resume at 0/5.In other good news for the Stonecats, father and

son Rob and Jason Bedford made their comeback in the Second XI. Jason is not out 11 and Rob is yet to bat.

The match between Carrum Downs and Rosebud will go down to the wire after the Cougars made 193 on Saturday.

Shane Walford opened the innings with 56 for the home side while Chamara Perera came it at nine and helped himelf to an unbeaten 38. Josh Spittal also made 32.

Brian Doughty was the pick of the bowlers for the Buds with 4/59 from 18.5 overs, giving him 13 scalps for the season, while teenager Pat Nagel made an impression in his First XI debut, snaring 3/34 from 16 overs.

Skye appears to be in a spot of bother against Pearcedale, although we have come to expect all kinds of surprises in Sub-District this season.

Skye was bowled out for just 144, Shayne Gillings doing the job for the Panthers with 4/64 and Chris Dew claiming 2/5. The home side is 0/7 in reply.

Balnarring and Red Hill will play a one-day game this weekend after rain affected play.

HASTINGS CCBy Greg BradshawHASTINGS was set a daunting target on its visit to undefeated Delacombe Park which batted fi rst in gloomy conditions. Mitch Floyd cleaned up both openers to leave the hosts 2/19 after 12 overs but Chris Brittain and Simon Dignan then set about rebuilding the innings.

When Tim Birch fi nally dismissed Brittain for 71 the score had reached 3/141 and Delacombe smashed 127 off the fi nal 18 overs to fi nish at 9/268, Dignan scoring 99. Birch fi nished with 3/90 from 21 overs.

Delacombe batted fi rst against the Seconds whose bowlers took early wickets, 3/41. The

visiting captain was dropped twice in the space of four overs which ultimately proved costly as he smashed 114 of the fi rst 155 runs scored. The young side did well to restrict Delacombe to 8/253 off its 80 overs. Nick Guest was impressive taking 3/35 off 18 overs.

Playing the veteran Mt Eliza team, the Fourths chose to bat, making a slow but steady start. Andrew Finn then cleaned up the openers and it was 2/49 in the 14th over. Wickets fell at regular intervals as Mt Eliza was bowled out for 138. Matt Sawosz was impressive with his leg spin taking 4/24 off six overs.

The Hastings innings was a blur as the target was reached in just 20 overs with Steve Lewis being promoted from number 11 to open as he blasted 52 runs in 11 overs while Glenn

Jansz also hit the ball sweetly crashing 59no as Hastings fi nished with 3/140.

The Under-16s played Mt Martha with Hastings scoring 145 thanks largely to Matt Foy (88). In reply Mt Martha was dismissed for 128.

The Under-14s met Baden Powell who batted last week and scored 10/95 with Patrick Wilson taking 2/3, Jackson Coles 2/6 and Corbin Overton 2/10. Hastings replied with a fl urry, Shelby Lothian-Burdett belting a quick 29. Alex Walters scored an impressive 36 as Hastings reached 4/100.

The Under-12s played Mt Eliza with Hastings scoring. Mt Eliza put in a solid batting performance reaching 6/135 off its 35 overs to secure victory.

Coach resignsMT ELIZA is looking for a new coach after Jason Watts resigned last week.

Watts turned his back on the club after a new committee took over the management of the club at a recent annual general meeting.

A new ticket, headed by former Mt Eliza FC president Dave Morrison, took over the management of the club, unopposed at the AGM.

Watts, who took the club to a grand fi nal and the fi nals in the past two seasons, said he was left with little choice but to resign.

“I was employed by the outgoing committee and we were headed in a certain direction together. I am a loyal bloke and didn’t feel I could continue my role with the new committee,” Watts said.

Morrison said he was left with little choice but to take control of the management of the club.

“It’s important to point out that we all have the best interests of the footy club at heart,” Morrison said.

“If we (the new committee) believed the club was heading in the right direction, we would not have got involved. A number of people had some concerns with the direction and as a result, I agreed, with their support, to stand for election at the AGM. As it turned out, we were voted in unopposed.”

Morrison said the club was currently interviewing for Watts’ replacement and hoped to announce a decision by November 15.
