Good morning

By Mike HastWRITING his autobiography was a gruelling experience for 77-year-old Ronnie Carroll.

Recalling events during the Second World War and the devastating effects they had on his family brought him to tears as he laboured away in his little writing room for four years.

He nearly gave up writing several times. Certainly his wife Rosemary was worried when she brought him a cup of tea and found him weeping at his desk.

But he pushed on with his “warts and all” story and publication of Luck of the Irish in March has put a spring in his step. Bad memories have been con-fronted and reconciled, demons have been exorcised and Carroll’s story has a happy ending.

He is one of four children born to Irish parents. Mary was born in 1934, Noel in 1935, Ronnie in 1936 and Clare in 1937.

On the eve of the Second World War, Jim and Bridie Carroll decided to emigrate to England to escape grinding poverty in Ireland. The title of his book is ironic as the Carrolls arrived just days after war had been declared. They had no idea this was about to occur.

“My mother nearly fainted when she was told England had declared war on Germany,” Carroll told The News dur-ing a visit to his Mornington home.

“We’d spent our last penny on get-ting to England and then father joined up and went off to war.”

German air raids soon became a daily occurrence and the government ordered that more than three million children and invalid adults be evacuat-ed from London and sent to safer parts of the country.

Children were sent to live with stran-gers. There was no checking on the suitability of hosts. In his book, Carroll states the evacuation of children “was a monstrous thing to do” and ruined many young lives. He says Mary was molested by the father in the fi rst home they were sent to.

Carroll lived in three homes during the war. He said the bad experiences of his siblings led to them having dys-

Tears for fears and new loveTears for fears and new love

functional later lives. “All three be-came alcoholics. Mary became a nurse and married a wealthy husband, who physically abused her. They had fi ve children who were split up when the marriage disintegrated. She suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis for almost 30 years and died aged 60 in a nursing home.

“Noel served in the Royal Marines and in Africa with the British South African Police. Back in the UK he struggled to fi nd his place in life and used alcohol as a prop. In later years he developed a perforated pancreas, severe diabetes, a brain tumour and de-mentia. He died in early 2006 aged 72.

“Clare suffered the most from the war years,” he said. “She was starved of love, care and good example. She died at age 50 after marrying seven

times including a shotgun marriage to an American serviceman when she was a pregnant teenager.”

Carroll says his luck break was be-ing sent to choir school at Westminster Cathedral at age nine after it was dis-covered he had perfect pitch.

After school he joined the army and in his early 20s landed a job with the Conservative Party’s central offi ce as a press offi cer.

Carroll married Jennifer Neal in 1960 and the couple had two boys and two girls

Later he worked as a salesman in the food industry, rising through the ranks and eventually starting his own suc-cessful commodity broking business.

Three years after selling his business and retiring at age 67, Carroll lost his wife to cancer and was devastated: “I

thought the end was in sight for me, too.

“For the fi rst time in my life I was alone. My parents were long gone, my siblings had died in tragic circum-stances, including the brother who had protected me when I was young. Of course my children were alive and well but lived far away and had their own lives.”

Then came a call from an old friend in Australia who had recently lost her husband to heart disease. Ronnie and Jennifer had known Stephen and Rose-mary for more than 40 years. The cou-ple had moved to Australia for work but had stayed in touch.

Ronnie and Rosemary shared their grief for lost partners, the conversation lapsing into tears at both ends. “When we had recovered our emotions, Rose-

mary suggested I come to Mornington for a few weeks and we could grieve together,” Carroll said.

They started almost daily phone calls and Carroll wrote letters when he went to visit friends in France.

Ten months later, Carroll proposed to Rosemary over the phone. The au-thor arrived in Australia in July 2006 and they married a year later.

Looking out over Port Phillip from their home in Mornington, Carroll says he is already working on his next book.

“It will be about positive thinking; how to improve your life,” he said.

Perhaps he could call it The Luck of Ronnie Carroll. Luck of the Irish (Xlibris) is avail-able at Farrell’s Bookshop in Main St, Mornington.

By Mike HastTHREE historic Mornington buildings have won gongs at this year’s Morn-ington Peninsula Heritage Awards.

The event was held on Friday even-ing in Mornington Park Pavilion, which won an award last year.

The primary school’s 1878 original building was recognised in the “Res-toration of a heritage place” category.

Currawong Community Centre’s re no vated stables, once part of Tanti Farm, won in the “Creative reuse of a heritage place” section.

Counting House restaurant on the Esplanade near the old post offi ce was recognised in the same category.

The restaurant is the former State Savings Bank, built by J C Caldwell in picturesque Swiss chalet style in 1912. The original bank vault, pressed metal ceilings and fi replaces remain.

The primary school in Vale St open-ed in 1878 and was then known as Schnapper Point State School No. 567.

Restoration work has taken fi ve years.

Principal Silvio Vitale wrote in a re-cent newsletter: “The building really looks a treat and this nomination will go some way in its future maintenance as a building of local signifi cance.”

Mornington MP David Morris went in to bat for the school in mid-2009 when in Opposition.

He tabled a petition signed by more than 200 staff and parents of pupils calling on the then Labor government to “Make adequate funds available to cover the entire cost of roof repairs, and make a plan for the renovation and restoration of this historical building.”

Mornington and District Historical Society nominated the school and Cur-rawong Centre.

Derek Smith of the society said the school renovation had been done “in a sensitive fashion thus retaining the school’s heritage”.

“Even though the school doesn’t have a heritage overlay, an oversight in the original heritage study, this should be rectifi ed in the new study, which comes to council in the near future.”

The stables building at Currawong Community Centre was reopened last August.

At the opening, Cr Bev Colomb said the shire’s $587,000 restoration “pre-serves the building’s heritage links to Tanti Farm”.

“The building is an important local heritage place. It was part of Grigg’s Tanti Sheep Farm from 1937 to 1956 but started as a pastoral run settlement in 1841.

She said renovation included the use of recycled timber fl ooring and old corrugated iron roofi ng.

The centre is used by U3A Morn-ington, Alcoholics Anonymous, New Peninsula Jigsaw and New Peninsula Baptist Church and Mornington Chris-tian Church.

This was the third heritage awards, a joint venture of Mornington Peninsula Shire and the National Trust.

Twenty-two awards were presented by Cr Colomb and Julie Del Pra, of the National Trust Victorian chapter.Award winnersRestoration of a heritage place:Mornington Primary School, Mornington.

FRANKSTON Hospital’s emergency department is the fi rst in Australia to introduce digital e-prescribing and medication management.

The hospital is also one of the fi rst health services in Australia to use the National E-Health Transition Author-ity’s standardised Australian medi-cines terminology (AMT).

The information system uses technology to implement electronic medication management and e-prescribing facilities in the emer-gency department.

It also allows patient information, medications and pharmacy needs to be streamlined into one process.

“The introduction of this new tech-nology means that prescribing is now much more streamlined and eliminates the need for hand written scripts,” clinical director of emergency medi-cine Dr Helen Hewitt said.

“The use of electronic drug charts will enable clinical staff to easily read patient’s medication histories in a much clearer and a more functional format.”

Dr Hewitt said clinicians and pharmacists could access and record patient information “at the touch of a button”.

The technology was accessible at every bedside with the 39 electronic

devices which included washable keyboard and barcode scanners.

The emergency department also had 23 portable workstations equipped with barcode scanners to read identifi -cation wristbands.

Emergency nurse Queenie Men-chavez says the e-prescribing system had made a big difference.

“It’s a lot easier now to access and administer patient medications. Everything is simpler to use and only requires a few touches of a button rather than a pile of paper-work.”

Frankston is one of three health ser-vices in the state trialling the system.

By Mike HastMORNINGTON MP David Morris says he is relaxed about his elector-ate receiving nothing in the recent state budget.

“The budget doesn’t refl ect my commitment to the electorate,” he said.

Mr Morris spoke to The News after announcing the next stage of re-construction of Mornington pier – a $1.5 million contract to install wave screens on the upgraded middle sec-tion of the pier (“Pier wave screens in June”, The News, 21/5/13).

He said the electorate and penin-sula region had done well over the past two years.

Last May the state government pro mised up to $15 million to rebuild the outer, 75-metre section of the pier.

Work is expected to start in Au-gust.

Mr Morris said there was money for CCTV in Mt Eliza and Mt Mar-tha shopping centres.

“The money has been available since late 2011 but there have been geographic diffi culties with commu-nications and the cameras have to be mounted on private buildings so it is taking time to sort this out,” he said.

The long-awaited pedestrian crossing at Mt Martha was switched on at Christmas in 2011, he said.

The government’s $30 billion public transport plan unveiled in late March proposed electrifi cation of the Frankston train line to Baxter.

“I’ve been lobbying and talking about this for 20 years,” he said.

Government agency Public Transport Victoria said the Baxter line would be electrifi ed and doubled to allow the construction of stabling yards for 30 trains and a maintenance facility by 2028.

By 2033, the Frankston rail line will be known as the Baxter-Craigieburn line and bypass Flinders St station, PTV said.

Mr Morris said there had been money

for Volunteer Marine Rescue in Morn-ington ($211,000 in January towards a rescue boat) and Mornington Racing Club ($325,000 for sewage and waste disposal with the club tipping in an equal amount).

In the 7 May state budget, South East Water received $718,000 to con-tinue expanding the sewage network in Mornington electorate, he said.

There had been $75 million for

Frankston Hospital in recent years in-cluding $24 million being spent this year on extending the hospital and re-developing the emergency department.

The $759 million Peninsula Link freeway was opened in January, there was $110 million over four years for the Port of Hastings expansion and $100 million over four years to upgrade the Frankston rail line, Mr Morris said.

By Toni BrientMORNINGTON Peninsula’s popula-tion is expected to increase by more than 30,000 people in the next two decades and almost half will be retired people.

Immediate initiatives in the Morn-ington Peninsula Shire’s proposed 2013-14 budget, released in mid-May, will contribute to a number of long-term plans to accommodate the growth.

The shire’s corporate planning manager, Niall McDonagh, said the budget responds to key elements in the draft strategic plan, also released this month.

“The strategic plan sits over every-thing,” he said.

“While it doesn’t set out the details of the budget, it sets out the param-eters.”

The shire’s strategic planning man-ager, Allan Cowley, said each shire de-partment contributed to budget plan-ning.

“All departments have ongoing programs and ideas. We all suggest potential projects but the council has to decide priorities.

“Essentially the budget refl ects this.”Mr McDonagh said the Plan Penin-

sula community consultation meetings in 2012 contributed signifi cantly to the development of the draft strategic plan and budget.

Growth and population forecasts were an important factor for both doc-uments, he said.

“We have to make sure we are plan-ning for where we are going to get those increases.”

Population up 30,000 in next 20 yearsPopulation up 30,000 in next 20 years

Council has considered a range of fi gures from census data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

According to the data, the current population of the peninsula was esti-mated at 152,981. It is predicted this will grow to 185,702 by 2031.

The over-60s age group is expected to grow by more than 15,000 by 2031.

Mr Cowley said the fi rst impact of an ageing population was a demand for aged care facilities.

“We’re getting more retirement vil-lage developments in Mornington, which is consistent with current de-mands,” he said.

Mr Cowley said demographic profi l-ing enabled the shire to provide appro-priate services for the public.

“That’s something we coordinate with social planning services.

“We need to see how different towns already stack up for access to services.”

The strategic plan key goals to “im-prove community facilities” and pro-mote “healthy, safe and connected com munities” highlight the shire’s age-specifi c and family initiatives.

Mr Cowley said housing develop-ment was a major project for the shire in the coming year.

He said the shire had received input from the state government on hous-ing initiatives such as the Southern Regional Housing Statement, which would ensure development occurred in the right areas.

“We need to accommodate projected growth over the period to 2030,” Mr Cowley said.

“It’s a question of whether [hous-ing] is matching up with the changing

population and age profi le.”Current projections estimate signifi -

cant growth will occur in the Morn-ington, Moorooduc and Tuerong areas, with 2289 new dwellings expected by 2031.

The Rosebud, Rosebud West, Mc-Crae, Boneo, Fingal and Cape Schanck areas would have an estimated 16,240 dwellings by 2031.

Mr Cowley said growth areas need to be considered individually.

“We often say it’s not a ‘one size fi ts all’. The shire has a very strong commitment to [maintaining] urban growth boundaries.”

He said growth and development in peninsula townships must occur in line with individual qualities and natural landscape.

“We don’t necessarily use the phrase

‘urban design’ because it implies urban and suburban development,” he said.

“We’re trying to look at each town and establish what’s important to its character.”

The strategic plan’s “Liveable Penin-sula” goal aims to protect and promote region-specifi c development that rec-ognises local heritage and landscape.

“Enhancing public places and spac-es” and “improving community fa-cilities” were strategic plan goals that aimed to provide services and ameni-ties accessible to all residents.

The shire invites public submissions on the draft strategic plan and proposed budget, both of which are available on its website, mornpen.vic.gov.au

VOICES were hushed as senior theatre nurse Gay Ellis was escorted into Frankston Hospital for the unveiling of a secret project under way for the past 12 months.

Her friends, family and colleagues were there on Monday to witness the unveiling of a renovated theatre courtyard built as a memorial to her late husband Gary Ellis.

In 1987 Mr Ellis, a concreter, arranged for some of his friends and colleagues to build a concrete helipad.

Mrs Ellis had been with the hospital for more than 25 years and had complained to him about the diffi culty of getting patients in trolleys across the grass helipad.

The concrete helipad was removed to make way for the new 560-space multi-storey car park but the

helipad and his generosity had not been forgotten.The courtyard’s central feature is a sculpture

with a piece of the original helipad and a replica helicopter with a plaque honouring Mr Ellis.

The replica helicopter was donated by Frankston Men’s Shed whose members spent six months hand-carving it from a piece of driftwood that washed up from Western Port.

Theatre technician Jason Walker and his team built the courtyard in their own time, managing to keep the project a secret from Mrs Ellis up until the unveiling.

“The beauty of the theatre courtyard project is that it came about exactly the same way as Gary’s original project – the community helping the community,” Frankston Hospital executive director Brendon Gardner said.

By Mike HastTHE Johnny Famechon statue project is being revived by the Australian Na-tional Boxing Hall of Fame.

Hall of Fame president Brett McCor-mick met Frankston MP Geoff Shaw earlier this month to seek his support.

Mr McCormick was accompanied by Johnny Famechon statue committee members Rob McCarthy, Gary Lus-combe and Arnold Thomas as well as the man himself, world boxing cham-pion Johnny Famechon, who now pre-fers to be called John.

“Fammo” lives in Frankston with his wife Glenys.

The champ achieved worldwide fame after his epic title fi ghts with Fighting Harada of Japan.

Born in France in 1945, Fammo has called Frankston home since 1970. He has been actively involved in the com-munity, including helping police run the Frankston Blue Light Boxing Club for young people.

He became WBC Featherweight World Champion in 1969 after defeat-ing Cuban Jose Legra on points at the Albert Hall in London.

He twice defended his crown against Fighting Harada during brutal battles.

With a career record of 56 wins (20 by KO), six draws and fi ve losses, Fammo was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Los Angeles in 1997 and the Frankston Hall of Fame in 2008.

The life-sized bronze statue was fi rst proposed in early 2011 when Rob Mc-Carthy and Sydney sculptor Stephen Glassborow offered Frankston Council

the $150,000 statue free of charge.The project lapsed when a report

from council offi cers said it would cost $45,000 to erect “Fammo” at the preferred site in Ballam Park. Council-lors decided not to spend more than $10,000.

The cost was based on what Baw Baw Shire paid to erect the Glass-borow statue of Lionel Rose in his home town of Warragul, which included a granite base (or plinth) and extensive landscaping.

Other Stephen Glassborow statues include legendary cyclist Sir Hubert Opperman in Rochester, Victoria, and champion footballer John Coleman in Hastings.

The Famechon statue will be paid for by the sale of 15 maquettes, or statu-ettes, of the original for $12,000 each.

The statue cost has risen to $180,000 since 2011.

The statue committee aims to raise the money over the next 12 months by selling maquettes, replicas of the plaque that will be displayed at the base of the statue and at a fundraising dinner next month.

Fammo was badly injured when hit by a car while jogging in Sydney in 1991, sustaining horrifi c injuries.

In 1993 he started a radical and demanding rehabilitation program to improve his acquired brain injury.

After three months he took his fi rst steps. He now walks with the help of a walking stick and his speech and memory have improved.

At his Frankston home, Fammo works out for several hours every day

to keep his body going. He has also trained with exercise coaches and swims two or three times a week.

In June 1997, Fammo walked down the aisle at his wedding to long-time

girlfriend Glenys, fulfi lling a promise he made to her four years earlier that they would marry but not till he could walk unassisted. The Johnny Famechon statue fund-

raising dinner is at 6.30pm on Wednes-day 19 June at Frankston RSL. Tickets cost $90 a person and include a three-course meal and drinks at bar prices. Book with the RSL on 9783 2288.

STEVE Bastoni with co-teacher Catherine McGreal, at rear, and pupils at his Peninsula Acting School.Picture: Yanni

By Keith PlattORGANISERS of a gambling awareness forum got more than they bargained for when they hired actor Steve Bastoni to do a sketch.

“They got the real deal; it’s something I fell pretty strongly about,” he says.

Bastoni, who lives in Rosebud with his wife Bianca and their three young children, knows all about gambling addiction: “When I reached 16 I started working professionally as an actor and started making some real money, which all went into the machines.”

The sketch he wrote and performed for Responsible Gambling Awareness Week (20-26 May) at the Seawinds Community Hub in Rose-bud, was drawn from his own experiences.

It involved him playing a man at a pokie machine. A machine that the gambler feeds and talks to. A machine that takes his cash, forcing him to lie to his wife.

Recording sound effects for the sketch forced Bastoni to again feed a machine. Against all odds, the $5 it cost to get the sounds that see gamblers respond like Pavlov’s dogs almost magically earned him $100.

Instead of being re-fed into the machine the “winnings” have been donated to charity.

After Wednesday’s sketch, Bastoni gave the audience a frank account of his past gambling addiction.

He says gambling is regarded as a quintes-sential Australian pastime. “A good old punt” is something that goes with a few beers. Two-up on Anzac Day is “about as good as it gets … un-less you happen to be a gambling addict”.

Bastoni gambled as a youngster, graduating from pinball machines to pokies by the time he was 14.

In those days he was frequenting cafes in Carlton and recalls seeing a man losing his car on a $20-a-hit machine.

Success in acting brought him a taste of fame and money.

“I remember having huge fi ghts with my agents, who couldn’t understand why I needed money so soon after I had been paid,” he told the Hub audience.

“In retrospect, I can see that they were try-ing to look after me but at the time I saw it as a gross invasion of privacy and an unwanted threat to my independence.

“I was a pretty wild kid at 16 and was in a hurry to be an adult and demanded to be treated as such, especially because I was earning twice as much as my mum’s paltry wage as a teacher.

“But for me gambling wasn’t about the money, it was about escape.”

Bastoni’s burgeoning career saw him move to Sydney.

“I was partying pretty hard at this time.”That was on the outside, the real Steve Bastoni

was “desperately unhappy and lost … I was liv-ing a nightmare”.

Problems caused by gambling “disappeared” while Bastoni played the machines.

At night in bed “the images and music of the machine burned in my mind”.

Playing the pokies was not about winning cash, the addiction was the actual playing of

Acting, life with an audienceActing, life with an audienceSTEVE Bastoni is a familiar face on the small and big screen.An actor since his teens, Bastoni has been in sitcoms (Neighbours), dramas (Police Rescue,

Stingers, Wildside, Underbelly) and features (Matrix2) and most recently in the surf-based Drift.It seems more often than not that his characters are bad boys, villains or cops.He cheerfully admits “spending a lot of time in Kings Cross” gave him a good insight into how to

act the part, from both sides: “same guys, different hats”“It’s fun to step into others’ shoes,” he says. “But in real life I wouldn’t be like that.”In Drift he plays a bikie gang leader threatening the stability and viability of a struggling family

business.The fi lm has had mixed reviews and Bastoni says it “doesn’t need a fl ashy story with such a great

surfi ng background”.The six weeks he spent fi lming Drift on location at Margaret River in Western Australia enabled

him to indulge his own love for surfi ng as well as taking his family there for a while. Bastoni lives in Rosebud with his wife Bianca and their children, aged fi ve, three and 10 months,

and runs the Peninsula Acting School.He is also the mainstay behind the annual Peninsula Short Film Festival, scheduled for 1 Febru-

ary next year.He has an agent in Sydney and sees the obligatory auditions as “not my favourite thing in the

world”.His next role is playing a United States army colonel in The Half Dead, an action sci-fi feature

being made by his friend producer director Tim Boyle.After that, he will be an ex-cop in a road warrior thriller set in Adelaide. “I’ll be a husband, a

good guy.”Bastoni also offers his services to several social awareness causes, including Lifeline and White

Ribbon.Last week he acted out a self-penned sketch to raise awareness of problem gambling.

the machine. His biggest win, $12,000, was lost within a day.

“It was nothing for me to lose a few thousand dollars in under an hour.”

Bastoni says he hasn’t gambled in more than four years and despite the losses believes people should have the freedom to do what they want with their money.

He says the images and music of pokie ma-chines are designed to mesmerise.

“These are all techniques used in hypnosis to capture the subconscious mind.”

He admits addicts lose the “freedom” he so strongly defends and feels “deeply for those who are enslaved by the disease of addiction to gambling or any other substance”.

Bastoni ends his talk with the conundrum faced by a society that sustains itself on losses.

“Pokies generate huge amounts of money for the clubs that have them and even more tax dollars to our state governments, but the damage they do to our communities is immeasurable.”

STAGE fright has taken on a whole new meaning for Maddy Kelly. As someone who managed to con quer anxiety, she now stands in front of audi-ences playing three roles centred on the troubled thoughts of a young boy.

Kelly plays the boy’s mother, teacher and best friend in the stage adaptation of Go Away Mr Worrythoughts!, the children’s book written by Nicky Johnston to help her own son overcome his fears.

“It was not until I was auditioning that I real-ised how much I could relate to it,” the 21-year-old former Woodleigh School student said.

“Dealing with anxiety had been a big struggle for me, but I have ways of dealing with it. On stage I still get nervous, but then the adrenalin kicks in.”

It seems as though Kelly’s anxiety has led her to take on challenges that draw attention, rather than hide with inner thoughts and worries.

When not acting, she can be found on vari-ous stages around Melbourne performing with her sister Memphis in the duo Wishful. Kelly

describes their music as “folksy, lots of harmo-nies, whimsical”.

When auditioning for Mr Worrythoughts!, Kel-ly performed a song she had written to help cope with her own anxiety.

The play is directed by Kaarin Fairfax, of Mt Eliza, and stars Kelly and Nic Denton. The key fi gure is Bayden (Nic Hope Denton) who wor-ries so much and about so many things it is like a monster following him everywhere and stealing his fun.

Over time, Bayden learns he can beat the worry thoughts through visualisation and works out how to stop the thoughts creeping back into his mind.

Maddy plays the roles of Bayden’s mum, teach-er and his best friend Tara.

Go Away Mr Worrythoughts! is at Frankston Arts Centre at 6pm Wednesday 5 June. Tickets are $8. Book at www.thefac.com.au or call 9784 1060.

ONCE a source of ridicule, the revamped and renovated former Peninsula Centre now repre-sents the long-awaited resurgence of Frankston.

Renamed Peninsula on the Bay, the most noticeable of the city’s buildings along Nepean Highway now houses Frankston on the Bay hotel-style accommodation run by Quest Studios as well as Asian Pacifi c’s serviced offi ces.

Last week Quest hosted a Frankston Tourism networking night in the 10-storey building, tak-ing 65 guests on a tour of its facilities, including 82 studio apartments, gymnasium, terrace garden and conference room.

The tourism group holds bi-monthly network-ing nights.

Accountability Mornington Peninsula Shire is asking itself for a permit to clear vegetation from Mt Martha Park and the foreshore. Signs about the application are displayed along Forest Drive and the Esplanade. Details of the permit application are available at the shire’s Mornington offi ce and anyone who disagrees with its granting can make a submission. Natural systems team leader Simon Thorning says it has been two years since weeds were removed from foreshore vegetation. “In Mt Martha Park removal of weeds and fuel reduction works is continuous; this permit application relates to the removal of woody weed species from among existing woodland vegetation to achieve fuel reduction and biodiversity outcomes.”

By Mike HastSHIRE councillors have rejected intro ducing a noise control law for Tyabb Airfi eld.

At Mornington Peninsula Shire’s council meet-ing, nine of the 11 councillors voted to reject a proposal to adopt Environment Protection Au-thority noise control guidelines as part of the shire’s Local Laws, which were revised last year.

The move has angered and disappointed Tyabb and District Ratepayers, which is likely to take the matter further.

The council instead agreed to take up “the offer from Airservices Australia and Australian May-oral Aviation Council to work through the issues” and called for yet another report.

A spokesman for Tyabb ratepayers said the group, with support of many residents, had been trying to get a noise law for about eight years.

“Tyabb Airfi eld operates in a regulatory void where federal bodies such as Civil Aviation Safe-ty Authority and Airservices Australia have no coverage,” he said.

“This has been confi rmed by successive federal transport ministers.

“The responsibility for noise at Tyabb lies with the EPA and the shire council.

“Casey Council has EPA-based noise laws for Tooradin airfi eld and Yarra Ranges Shire has laws for Lilydale and Coldstream airfi elds.”

He said the EPA “effectively controls aircraft noise from ground maintenance and has done so on a couple of occasions at Tyabb” but it did not cover noise of aircraft in fl ight.

“In May, council offi cers reported to council-lors that they had written to various federal agen-cies and the EPA and were confi dent of their recommendation to incorporate the whole EPA guideline including aircraft and helicopters into the Local Law.

“Councillors chose to ignore the advice of of-fi cers and take up some vague offer from Air-

services Australia. Thousands of Tyabb resi-dents have been sacrifi ced yet again at the al tar of a few members of Peninsula Aero Club.”

Leading the move to reject the law were Cer-berus Ward’s David Garnock and the mayor, Lynn Bowden, whose ward covers the airfi eld.

Cr Garnock said he wondered why the council was getting involved. “If we bring in this law it will just muddy the waters,” he said.

Both said there were enough organisations to control airfi eld noise.

Cr Graham Pittock, a former member of Pen-insula Aero Club who once owned an ultralight, said he was against the law.

Controlling airfi eld and aircraft noise was the job of CASA, Airservices Australia and the EPA, he said. “It’s a ridiculous law; our compliance de-partment is overworked.”

Cr Bev Colomb said several councillors were asking questions from a letter prepared by Pen-insula Aero Club, which owns Tyabb Airfi eld and had vigorously lobbied against noise laws.

“We’ve been looking at this issue for a long time and the aero club and lots of other people have been involved. We have a responsibility to the airport and residents. It’s important residents know where they stand.”

The shire’s manager of environment and com-munity safety, Claire Smith, said a noise law would help council offi cers deal with allegations.

Her colleague Mark Upton said the EPA, the Department of Infrastructure and Transport, and Airservices Australia all supported having local council laws for control of airfi eld noise.

The shire had a properly calibrated noise meter that could be used to investigate complaints, he said.

Cr Garnock asked if the airfi eld [operator] might appeal against a council decision on fi nes for noise and win, which might be potentially em-barrassing.

Should We Fear God?“Fear God & Keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil”. (Eccl 11:13+14 Bible). What is the fear of God? Does that mean He just lives to punish all us sinners? NO NO NO, in fact the opposite. It’s by having a healthy reverence & fear of God that we come into receiving from Him all that we need & desperately want in our lives. Love, Joy, peace, freedom, forgiveness, healing & strength. In fact life itself....to it’s fullest experience & satisfaction. God is doing His outmost to lead us & offer us the right advice & direction. It’s us who are self centred, deceitful & untrue & ungodly in our ways....Then we have the nerve to blame God for the outcome & consequences of our ways, attitudes & wrong decisions. God want’s to free us from our own driving destructive force within us & the very nature of mankind. He knows that if we live to please ourselves & not take notice & obey His commandments & advice to us, then we will destroy ourselves in this life & also pay the very dear price in the life to come. God sent His son Jesus into the world to pay the price for us & through His sacrifice we are offered freedom, atonement & pardon. However we need to believe & receive that free gift of God’s forgiveness & salvation. We need to acknowledge our sins & change our ways to please & serve Him in obedience to what He knows is right for us. Namely, love

one another, as this covers all God’s commandments. And most of all, love Him! His great loving heart toward us offers us a way that is right, & the benefits are for eternity.God is just, fair & holy. He requires us to be also. Isn’t it time? Come to God!

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, May 31st 1913.A FIRE occurred at Williams Grove, Chelsea, at midnight on Sunday when a four-roomed cot-tage, owned by Mr T. Johnson, of Murphy Street, South Yarra, and a detached kitchen owned by Mr Scott, were totally destroyed. The cottage was let to a party of week enders, but they had left during the evening for Melbourne, so that the time of the outbreak the house was unoccupied. The fi re was fi rst noticed by Mr John Gideon, who gave the alarm, but by the time the fi re brigade arrived, the fl ames had a fi rm hold, and nothing could be done to save the houses already alight. The brigade, however, considering the primitive means at their disposal, did good work, and it was owing to their efforts that a bungalow alongside the burning building, and occupied by a party of young ladies, was saved. The cause of the fi re is unknown.

***THE Naval Base is rapidly improving the Crib Point district and it is growing by leap and bounds.

ELABORATE preparations are being made by the Mornington Loyal Celebration League, for the celebrations to be held on King’s Birthday, June 9th. A very interesting and amusing pro-gramme of sports will be held in the park in the afternoon, and a bioscope entertainment (free to children) in the evening. A procession of all school children from Mornington, Moorooduc, Osborne and Mt Eliza, will also take place prior to the sports.

***THE transfer of the State School from Golden Point to Crib Point appears to have been well ad-vised and with the ample room provided in the new Crib Hall, as now leased to the Education Department by Miss Peterson, the school attend-ance has rapidly increased to over 50 children, and there are more to follow. Last Tuesday the parents and scholars met, in response to the teacher’s (Mr Keogh) invitation, and elected a new school committee of seven, to replace the fomer committee, which resigned in a body as a protest against what was said to be discourtesy on the part of the Education Department. The new committee consist of Mrs F. Vincent and Messrs Vincent (president), Osterland (treas-urer), Woodger (correspondent), Lyel, Wilson, and Miller. A vote of thanks was recorded the old committee, and responded to by the retiring president. Athough time was short, the new com-mittee soon got to work and made some effort to celebrate Empire Day. On Friday afternoon, at the invitation of Mr Keogh, the National Flag of Australia was hoisted by the president’s wife (Mrs Vincent) amidst the cheers of the assembled school children and parents, and after the for-mal saluting of the fl ag, sweets were distributed amongst the children, and an adjournment made till the evening, when the hat, kindly lent, by Miss Peterson was lighted, and games for the children and dancing for the adults was indulged in until well after 10 o’clock. The proceedings were en-livened by music – the new piano – another kind loan of Miss Peterson’s - being availed of for the occasion. Songs (patriotic and otherwise) by the children, and solos by Mr Williamson, helped to keep the enjoyment going, and after a little light refreshment the proceedings terminated. All ap-peared well pleased with the day’s outing.

***THE need of a resident medical offi cer is a press-ing necessity, and the expected appointment by the Naval Department is anxiously looked for-ward to.

***A VIGILANCE Committee for this part of the Peninsula is also needed, as the sanitary condi-tion and hygienic arrangements for the new set-tlement of Luna Park will soon need adjusting and an epidemic forstalled.

***HIS Natural Life (illustrated), the only com-plete and original text of Marcus Clarke’s famous Australian story, is a feature of the June issue of The Australian Journal, which is a notable example of the general improve-ment in Australian publications, both as to artistic and literary excellence. The fi rst instal-ment of this vivid story of the convict days of Victoria opens in this issue. Also in the serial section, is the commencement of a smart and attractive novel, entitled Phillip Steere a pleas-ing romance of the north-west frontier. Among novels to be included in the near future is an Aus-tralian work from the pen of Henry O’Donnell. Another novel and pleasing feature is the gratui-tous issue of Gordon’s copyright prems, a com-pletevesion in monthly parts with artistic illus-trations, the June issue containing the “Roll of the Kettledrum.” The short stories are, as usual, excellent as to themes and construction, and the ladies’ pages, dealing with fashions, dress, and household matters, will be found both useful and entertaining by the feminine members of a fam-ily circle The now coloured cover is particularly attractive, and the extension of the contents to 92 pages evidences the increasing popularity of the. oldest Australian monthly publication.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

I HAVE been fortunate enough to see Rod Stewart in concert three times. For a performer in his late sixties, Rod is still strutting and prancing on stage, he is still the quintessence of a rock star in concert.

Although he claims to be from Scotland, Stewart was born and bred in North London and actually went to school with Kinks lead singer, Ray Davies.

Rod Stewart has completed his fi rst album of new material in almost 20 years. The landmark new album, titled Time marks Stewart’s long-awaited return to his songwriting roots and features 12 tracks, 11 of which he wrote and produced and has hit No.1 on the charts.

Stewart’s fi rst two singles, She makes Me Happy and The Finest Woman, have been released to radio worldwide. Stewart is over the moon at scoring his fi rst UK No.1 album since 1979.

Rod admitted he was very proud to be back at the top of the charts with Time, his fi rst album of originals for over 20 years.

It is his fi rst new studio album to hit No.1 since A Night on the Town in 1976. The single from that album Tonight’s The Night was No.1 for eight weeks. Other hits singles from the album included The First Cut is the Deepest and The Killing of Georgie, a ballad of the senseless murder of a homosexual friend.

Time is a landmark release in Stewart’s career, born from a burst of inspiration from which he rediscovered his voice as a songwriter and rekindled his gift for writing the honest, nerve-touching narratives that have been the cornerstone to the fi rst three decades of his career. Since 1991, Stewart, the lyricist and melodist behind such staples as Tonight’s The Night, You Wear it Well and the indelible Maggie May, had simply lost his songwriting muse. But, beginning in 2011, during the period he began working on what would become his internationally

best-selling autobiography, Rod, it returned.

Said Stewart, “Something about that process of reviewing my life for the book reconnected me and that was it: I was away. Suddenly ideas for lyrics were piling up in my head. Next thing I knew, I had a song called ‘It’s Over’ about divorce and separation. And now I was getting up in the middle of the night and scrambling for a pen to write things down, which has never happened to me. I fi nished seven or eight songs very quickly and I still wasn’t done and it became apparent that I would eventually have a whole album of material to record, which had never happened before.”

The album was produced by Stewart and co-produced by Kevin Savigar (Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Peter Frampton).

Time by Rod Stewart in stores now.

***“NEVER thought that I’d ever sing again. But hearing the fi rst three songs, I just couldn’t say no!”

With these words, one of popular music’s most recognisable, celebrated names of the past 40 years. Agnetha Faltskogs signals her return to the spotlight. The ABBA singer has returned with a new album, A (Universal) released this month, preceded by a curtain-raising track, When You Really Loved Someone which is now available internationally as a single to buy.

Max Hole, Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer, Universal Music Group International, added: “You can imagine the excitement that all of us felt at the prospect of Agnetha making new music. So we were determined that she would choose Universal to bring that music to the world, and

we are gratifi ed that she did. This is a dream project for so many people inside our company, and for Agnetha’s fans around the globe.”

Agnetha has been working with renowned, Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Jorgen Elofsson – who has been responsible for hits by Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion and Westlife, among others – and acclaimed producer/arranger Peter Nordahl on her brand new album.

“She wanted to make music again,” says Elofsson, “We could feel that. She had been thinking about it. Basically, she’s a musician, a songwriter/singer who hasn’t done that for a while. We saw her open up, become much happier, with music again in her life.”

The album features one of Agnetha fi rst co-writes in many years: “I hadn’t written any music for a long, long time,” she says. “But I sat at the piano, and suddenly it was there.”

Anticipated by millions of ABBA fans worldwide, Agnetha’s brand new material is now available on A.

Max Hole, CEO, Universal Music Group International, added: “You can imagine the excitement that all of us felt at the prospect of Agnetha making new music. So we were determined that she would choose Universal to bring that music to the world, and we are gratifi ed that she did. This is a dream project for so many people inside our company, and for Agnetha’s fans around the globe.”

Best tracks When You Really Loved Someone, Back on Your Radio, Dance Your Pain Away, I Should’ve Followed You Home (featuring Gary Barlow) and The One Who Loves You Know.

***A GUITAR played by Beatles pair John Lennon and George Harrison has sold for more than $417,500 at a New York auction.

The Beatles Vox guitar, a custom prototype made in 1966 was later given to Alex Mardas, a friend of the band.

Harrison can be seen rehearsing with the guitar on I Am the Walrus during the Magical Mystery Tour in 1967.

***THE Beatles’ second feature fi lm, 1965’s Help, is on the way on Blu-ray. On June 21, Help makes its eagerly awaited Blu-ray debut in a single-disc package pairing the digitally restored fi lm and 5.1 soundtrack with an hour of extra features, including a 30-minute documentary about the making of the fi lm, memories of the cast and crew, an in-depth look at the restoration process, an outtake scene, and original theatrical trailers and radio spots. An introduction by the fi lm’s director, Richard Lester, and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese are included in the Blu-ray’s booklet.

Help’s Blu-ray edition follows the 2012 release of The Beatles’ digitally restored Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour feature fi lms on Blu-ray, DVD and iTunes with extensive extras. Help’s restoration for its 2007 DVD debut wowed viewers, earning fi ve-times platinum sales in the U.S.

Performance

By Gary Turner

By Stuart McCulloughI AM good. In fact, I am nice, I am kind and I am thoughtful to others. You could go so far as to say that I am just one big ball of wonderful, a ray of sunshine that heats a solar cell that provides crucial electricity to needy orphans and the abandoned penguins they just rescued. Yes siree, I am noth-ing short of a beautiful, splendid, awe-some human being twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week and three hundred and sixty fi ve days per year. Except, of course, when I’m driving.

Something goes terribly wrong when I get behind the wheel of a car. Like Bill Bixby, I fi nd myself sud-denly transforming into Lou Ferrigno without a moment’s notice. This in-cludes turning green and ripping my shirt. It’s a transformation that I can’t even begin to comprehend. There is something about driving in traffi c that I fi nd inherently infuriating. I am sure that the expression ‘driven to an early grave’ is more than a mere turn of phrase and accurately depicts the toll that the everyday commute can take.

It’s no good being judgmental in this life. People should be largely free to live as they wish. But as admirable a philosophy as this is, I abandon it the moment I turn the ignition. As soon as I’m on the road, I am constantly eval-

uating other drivers. This begins with an assessment of their driving tech-nique and quickly devolves into the most brutal of character assessments. Changing lanes without indicating becomes so much more than a mere oversight or miscalculation but char-acter fl aw of such awesome dimen-sions that it defi nes the other driver entirely. In my mind there is no doubt that a person who fails to indicate suf-fers the kind of moral turpitude that causes them to fl at-out refuse to sort the rubbish from the recyclables and wear socks made from baby seal fur whilst dining on endangered monkey meat using rhino horn for a spoon.

That said, I realize that this could be

something of an over-reaction on my part.

Traffi c is, perhaps, the quickest re-minder that not everyone thinks the way you do. That others routinely defy your expectations as they merge, break the speed limit or zip in and out of lanes tells you we are not all alike. In theory I believe that we are all indi-viduals, entitled to freedom of thought, feeling and allegiance but, that said, if everyone else could simply see it my way when driving, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly, I don’t always keep my thoughts to myself. From time to time, language borrowed from gangsta rap’s fi nest has passed my lips, requiring me

to not so much wash my mouth out as eat an entire bar of soap upon return-ing home. There has even been the oc-casional song composed on the spot that, given the contents, is best left forgotten. Suffi ce to say, the lyrics and melody of ‘The Brown Camira’ are not something I plan to share with anyone soon. Then, perhaps most shamefully of all, there have been hand gestures. Lots of them.

There is, so I am told, a video game called ‘Angry Birds’. Sadly, for me this term is not a reference to a time-wasting phone app as it is a descrip-tion of my entire driving career. Other drivers could not be blamed for think-ing I only had one fi nger, such is my propensity for whipping out a single digit. It’s as though I am suffering some form of Tourette’s Syndrome that has taken hold of my middle fi n-ger. I can console myself with the fact that such appalling conduct only oc-curs when I am driving and at no other time. But despite my propensity for bad language, rude hand gestures and musical improvisation, I am a reluc-tant user of the car horn.

It was Shakespeare who famously once said, ‘To beep or not to beep: that is the question. Whether it is nobler in the minds of men to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous lane changes and by opposing end them. To sleep,

to drive, no more.’ For a guy that drove a Ford Focus, Shakespeare sure had a way with words. There’s an art to using a car horn. There’s the light touch I refer to as a ‘bip’. Generally speaking, it’s used as part of a farewell or to wake a fellow driver at a set of traffi c lights. Something less than a full beep, in this age of distraction it has become increasingly necessary to deploy the bip. In contrast, the long horn is a tool of anger. The longer the honk, the more infuriated the person sounding it has become.

There is a sense, sometimes, that the entire driving experience has be-come less collegiate and more like an episode of Gladiators. By that, I don’t mean extremely diffi cult to watch but simply more confrontational. Nowa-days I fi nd myself reluctant to deploy so much as a wake-up bip, even when the green light is staring me right in the face. It’s the fear of being mis-understood. That, for some, any horn may be regarded as a horn too far. Once, people gladly displayed bumper stickers that invited others to ‘Honk if you love Danish Blue Cheese’ or whatever and people would gladly join in. Not now. Beware the horns of war. Beep beep.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyPENINSULA Football League will play Geelong Football League for the number one title in Victorian country football after beating Ovens & Murray by 45 points on Saturday.

Played at the home of Carlton Football Club at Visy Park, Peninsula League opened the game up in the second quarter and went on to win in comfortable fashion, 15.10.100 to 7.13.55.

The last time Ovens and Murray journeyed south was to play a combined Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League at Frankston Park in 2011. The MPNFL won in a thriller in what is still described as one of the all-time great games of football.

It was as a result of this win over Ovens & Murray that the MPNFL was split into three different Interleague sides. It is alleged that the Ovens & Murray League wrote a letter to the Victorian Country Football League following their 2011 loss, calling for them to be split because they were too strong as a combine.

On Saturday, Peninsula League had a point to prove.

Many believed that the selected side was a ‘second string outfi t’ considering there were big name players who were forced to withdraw either through injury, club pressure or being disinterested.

To tackle one of the best leagues of all time, without the support of Casey Cardinia and Nepean League players, was a tough ask.

However, Peninsula League coach Steve Ryan was confi dent in his charges.

Peninsula League started with a squad of 60 players. With players struggling from injury or not committed to interleague football, he selected a squad of 23 that “were desperate to represent their league”.

This was changed at the 11th hour when skipper Anthony Barry (calf), Mt Eliza’s Josh Norman (hip) and Mornington teenager Jackson Calder (corky) were forced to withdraw.

This brought in emergency, Chelsea’s Fia Tootoo, along with Edithvale’s Brent Bowden and Pines’ Guy Hendry.

Pines skipper and league medallist Jimmy Messina replaced Barry as captain.

Ovens & Murray have 23 ex-AFL footballers running around this season, including the likes of Brad Ottens, Jason Akermanis, Brendan Fevola, Karl Norman, Chris Hyde, Dean Polo and Kane Pettifer, however, the only two that played on Saturday were Craig Ednie and Steve McKee.

Peninsula League kicked the fi rst three goals of the game, before allowing the O&M back into the contest with the next three goals.

Peninsula played ordinary football in the second half of the fi rst quarter and were lucky to hold a slender one point lead.

Ryan told his charges during the break to run and spread, hopeful that the leg speed he and assistant Troy Shannon selected would come to the fore.

They were right. Peninsula opened the game up, completely outran the O&M in the second term and booted fi ve goals to one to go in at half time 23 points in front.

Ryan said he knew that the O&M would go into the match with bigger bodies and the trump card he had was speed on the open spaces of Visy Park.

“When we came in at half time, we were all very confi dent in our chances of going on with it,” Ryan said.

“I reminded them that no-one expected us to win and that we were perhaps the second string side, given the injuries.

“I knew we wouldn’t lose at that point. They had a resolve and a belief about them.

“We outscored them again in the third quarter four goals to two and then again in the last, three goals to one. We totally outclassed them.

“Our run and carry was better, our desire was better and our skill level was far better.

“We had 16 blokes who were playing their very fi rst interleague game and every one of them was sensational.

“There was not one player in the team that didn’t contribute to the win.”

Ryan said Langwarrin rover Dan Wehner’s performance in the middle of the ground was fi rst class. “Wehner’s grunt work was just a highlight of the match.

“Our back six were fantastic too. Young Kallum Searle destroyed their full forward Adam Prior, who has been dominating at local level. Searle beat him in the one on one contests and ran off him all day. Timmy Mavric was also very good in defence too.”

The best man on the ground was Seaford star Brayden Irving.

“This bloke can seriously play,” Ryan said.

“He played his centre half forward

role to perfection. He has wonderful hands and he really should be playing a higher standard of footy.

“Ricky Ferraro and Shane McDonald were all class and our rucks in Dylan Jones and Beau Hendry were just too mobile for their big blokes.

“We weren’t beaten in any part of the ground,” Ryan said.

That also went for the all-in-brawl in the third quarter.

“Suffi ce to say that there were a few blokes who enjoyed the opportunity to have a crack – in fact, it was a lot more than a few,” Ryan joked.

“We certainly don’t condone that behaviour but it proved to me that we had the right 22 blokes representing our league.

“The feeling after the match and the genuine excitement from the group made the day even more special.

“I certainly know who the fi rst 22 players selected will be next year,” Ryan said.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyNEPEAN League overcame a slow start to win its very fi rst stand alone match against Heathcote & District Football League on Saturday.

After a four hour bus trip to Bendigo on Saturday morning, Nepean League was slow to get out of the blocks, allowing the opposition to kick the fi rst three goals of the match.

However, on the wide open spaces of the QEO Bendigo Oval, the visitors were able to work their way back into the contest to trail by just three points at the fi rst change.

Coach Gavin Artico told his players during the break to utilise their speed and running ability and move the ball quickly through the corridor.

Artico was also looking to change things up by switching play and creating space before bringing the ball back through the middle of the ground.

The team followed instructions to the letter in the second quarter and set-up the win with a six goal to two term.

At half time, Nepean League led the home side 11.9.75 to 7.8.50.

Early in the third quarter, the visitors lost Hastings’ full forward Tony Mirabella to an eye injury. It is nothing that will keep him out of the Hastings team this week, however, his vision was impaired after getting a poke in the eye. He kicked two goals before going off the ground.

The second half was an arm wrestle.Heathcote & District League was

hell bent on shutting down the space of the Nepean League, pushing numbers back and restricting the opposition’s dominance when entering their forward half.

Heathcote & District League sent fi ve coaches down to the Peninsula two weeks ago to have a look at the Sorrento v Rosebud and Dromana v Rye matches.

They walked away knowing that they were up against a squad that was going to run the ball.

“They (Heathcote & District FL) did their homework on us. We obviously move the ball very quickly in our league and this was a concern of theirs,” coach Gavin Artico said.

“In the second half they were able to slow us down but the damage was

done in the second quarter,” Artico said.

It was seven goal to six second half, Nepean winning by 33 points, 18.17.125 to 13.14.92.

Artico said he couldn’t be more pleased with the efforts of his charges.

“They were a really great bunch of blokes, as well as being very talented footballers,” Artico said.

“The group was really motivated and really wanted to represent their league – that was important and the key to us winning the game.

“It was a real pity that all of the clubs didn’t get behind it (Interleague football), however, hopefully the success that the boys had on Saturday will turn that thought process around next year.”

Artico said he was worried when the opposition kicked the fi rst three goals of the game.

“Look, we tried to get the guys up and going as best we could but the reality was that they were all up very, very early and then spent a long time on a bus to Bendigo.

“The home side kicked with the wind in the fi rst quarter and it took us a little while to get going, however, when we did get going, we played some really good football.

“We really opened the game up in the second quarter and we should have been further in front at the break.

“Rhett Sutton and Justin Farrelly were getting their hands on the footy fi rst in the midfi eld and our forwards looked dangerous.

“Colin McVeigh and game medallist Jason Bedford played on wings and kicked goals for us, while the likes of Daniel Waddell, Tony Mirabella and Leigh Poholke looked dangerous when the ball went in.

“We had 11 goal kickers for the match, so it certainly showed that we had great ability to kick goals.

“In defence, we were fantastic too.“Guys like Darren Booth, Jay

Neratzoglou and Rikki Johnson dominated down there and really did set up a lot of ball movement through the middle.

“Taylor Stratton got a lot of it through the middle and Frankston Bombers players Jay Reynolds and James Degenhardt were really good for us over four quarters,” he said

“It really was a fantastic effort by the guys to fi ght it right to the end.”

MOTORINGMercedes-Benz GL-Class for luxury off-roadingMercedes-Benz GL-Class for luxury off-roadingMERCEDES-Benz Australia has announced the arrival of the new GL-Class, calling it the S-Class of SUV vehicles.

In addition to the well-established GL 350 BlueTEC and GL 500 BlueEFFICIENCY variants, Mercedes-AMG introduces a new AMG model for the Australian market, the GL 63 AMG.

“The GL-Class represents luxury SUV motoring, combining cutting-edge technology and driver assistance systems with uncompromised comfort,” Horst von Sanden, managing director of Mercedes-Benz Cars Australia-Pacifi c said.

“The new GL-Class is comprehensively equipped with safety and convenience features that provide exceptional value to customers in this segment,” he said.

“Harnessing a new engine line-up, the second generation GL-Class offers both signifi cant reductions in fuel consumption and improved performance.

“The GL 350 BlueTEC is equipped with a turbocharged V6 diesel BlueTEC engine and ensures smooth ride comfort while consuming just 7.7l/100km (combined).

“The imposing road presence of the GL 63 AMG is fused with the 5.5-litre AMG Bi-turbo engine, which delivers a maximum output of 410kW and up to 760 Nm of torque, affi rming

the GL 63 AMG as one of the most rapid seven-seat vehicles (0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds) on the market.

“Combining a lavish, spacious interior with dynamic on-off road capabilities, the GL-Class offers a comfortable drive and considerable ease of operation. A host of

exceptional features are standard on the new GL-Class including: 4Matic all-wheel drive, easy-pack tail gate, easy-entry third row access, Airmatic package – with air suspension and adaptive damping system, Comand Online, Thermotronic front and rear automatic climate control, intelligent

light system, glass electric sunroof with slide/tilt function and an electric parking brake,” Mr von Sanden said.

“The GL-Class also incorporates a host of standard safety equipment such as Attention Assist, pre-safe, 360-degree camera, Distronic Plus, Brake Assist BAS Plus, Active Blind

Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist.”
