Foreshore

mapped

By Jo Winterbottom A STOCKTAKE of natural areas is nearing completion in the City of Kingston. Ecologists and city rangers are completing ecological surveys of the foreshore between Aspendale and Carrum in the fourth and final instalment of a report on nature reserves in the municipality. It is the culmination of three years’ work for Kingston foreshore coordinator Jared Megens and consultant ecologist Jeff Yugovic. The study takes in Kingston’s 13 kilometres of Port Phillip foreshore, the green wedge area, wetlands, reserves and open spaces. Mr Megens said a priority had been to identify remnant indigenous vegetation and sites of significant habitat value. The surveys provide a map of different plant communities and an assessment of the condition and conservation significance of native vegetation. Mr Yugovic’s reports and recommendations will be used to guide the council in managing its natural resources and improving biodiversity of natural areas.

New blood for council By Jo Winterbottom FOUR of the nine councillors elected to Kingston Council are new to local government, including David Eden, who at 18 is the youngest councillor in Victoria. A large field of 52 candidates vying for nine seats under the proportional representation system has delivered some new faces at Kingston, but it could remain a fractious assembly,

with energetic foes Paul Peulich and Rosemary West being re-elected in North and Central wards, respectively. The 2012 mayor, John Ronke, was re-elected to begin his 18th year on council; he is joined in South Ward by Cr Eden, a VCE student from Chelsea, and Tamsin Bearsley, a 37-year-old primary school teacher and mother who resigned her part-time position as an electorate officer for Carrum MP Donna Bauer to run for council.

Cr Eden received 16.2 per cent of the primary vote, in front of Cr Bearsley on 11.9 per cent and Cr Ronke, 11 per cent. In Central Ward, where 28 candidates vied for the three seats, Ron Brownlees and Rosemary West were re-elected. Former mayor Arthur Athanasopoulos, who did not nominate, was replaced by retail consultant Geoff Gledhill, who heads up the Liberal Party’s

The election of Cr Barth, who works in student recruitment at Monash University, doubles the number of women on Kingston Council, which nevertheless remains low at just two of the nine. With the exception of Central Ward, where Amelia Honan polled third and above Geoff Gledhill in primary votes, the successful candidates after the distribution of preferences were those who received the most primary votes.

Bullying claims ‘unsubstantiated’, investigation clears councillors By Jo Winterbottom TWO Kingston councillors and a former councillor have been cleared of bullying allegations. A confidential two-month investigation commissioned by Kingston Council and begun in early August has found the bullying allegations brought by a senior council manager to be “unsubstantiated�. Of the three councillors named in the investigation, Rosemary West and Steve Staikos were re-elected in the weekend’s local government poll, while Trevor Shewan lost his seat in South Ward. In a carefully worded statement, Kingston CEO John Nevins said the council had received a “formal complaint� from the senior manager and sought legal advice before appointing commercial investigation firm STOPline to probe councillors and council officers. He would not disclose the cost of the report, but The News understands it to be at least $40,000. Mr Nevins said the report was confidential and would not be released but quoted several passages from it in his statement. The report found that “some councillors have been very vigorous and spirited in pursuit of outcomes� and pointed out that “robust discussion, spirited debate and dogged pursuit of objectives are not synonymous with bullying behavior or breaches of the councillor code of conduct�. It also said councillors West, Staikos

and Shewan had not crossed “the fine line between these types of justifiable behaviours and bullying or showing disrespect to other parties�. Cr Staikos, who was elected to his second term in North Ward on primary votes alone, said he was relieved to have been exonerated, but questioned the timing of the release of the report in the final days before the council election.

“Local democracy has been undermined and the electoral process perverted,� Kingston councillor Rosemary West Also last week, the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate officially dismissed allegations Crs Staikos and West had misused ward funds in arranging community meetings. As in most municipalities, Kingston’s elections were conducted by postal vote and the majority of votes had been received by Kingston returning officer Peter Cole by the time Mr Nevins’ statement was released on Wednesday 24 October. The bullying allegations were aired in parliament by South Eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich two weeks ago and subsequently used in material by candidates campaigning against councillors West, Staikos and Shewan.

“I felt quite affected by the some of the tactics that were used against me and I still believe the smear campaign did reflect negatively on my reputation,� Cr Staikos said yesterday. “Councillors must and should be able to pursue every issue that they are interested in and want to achieve a result; the community would expect no less from its councillors.� Cr West complained to Mr Cole about material being distributed which she thought was defamatory, but her complaints were not upheld. “Local democracy has been undermined and the electoral process perverted,� she said. “Unfortunately, the reports were not provided until voting was virtually over. All this has been timed to cause maximum damage to we three councillors and other candidates who might have received our preferences.� Mr Nevins said relations between councillors and council officers would be “a critical element of the new council’s induction and training�. He did not answer questions on whether the council would be taking further action on the complaints by the senior manager. Describing itself as “Australia’s leading specialist provider of whistleblowing programs and related services�, STOPline is a commercial investigation consultancy established by several high profile former state and federal police. Cr Shewan did not return calls from The News. Young success: South Ward winner David Eden was Victoria’s youngest council candidate.

Vitriolic campaign to the end Youngest candidate wins By Jo Winterbottom DEATH threats were allegedly received by at least one candidate in what was a tough and, at times, vitriolic election campaign. Cr David Eden claimed he and his family were repeatedly threatened by anonymous “bullies� during the campaign after South Ward candidate Justin Scott distributed material alleging the school boy was a Labor Party stooge. Cr Eden ran as an independent, but the flyer distributed by Mr

Scott, a Liberal Party member, claimed Cr Eden had a “hidden political affiliation� with the Australian Labor Party, because his father had once stood as an ALP candidate. Cr Eden denied he had an affiliation with any political party. Re-elected Central Ward councilor Rosemary West lodged a formal complaint with the Victorian Electoral Commission over campaign material, also distributed by Mr Scott, alleging she and Cr Steve Staikos and former coun-

cilor Trevor Shewan were “under investigation� for bullying. Cr West claimed local democracy had been undermined and the electoral process perverted. However the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate, to whom the VEC referred the matter, found there had been no breach of the Local Government Act and reminded Cr West that, “It is important to note that elections in Australia allow for robust debate and expression of opinion�.

PENINSULA FIREPLACE CENTRE HUGE SAVINGS ON GASLOG FIRES

By Neil Walker MENTONE Grammar student David Eden has been elected as a Kingston Council councillor representing South Ward. The 18-year-old Chelsea resident’s election has attracted state-wide media interest since he was Victoria’s youngest council candidate. It hasn’t all been positive news for Cr Eden. His election campaign was rocked by abuse and threats received via email. The person responsible claimed Cr Eden was secretly aligned with the Labor Party despite his assertions of independence. The Kingston Council election cam-

paign has been dogged by claims political rivals circulated so-called “dirt files� about candidates. Cr Eden felt concerned enough about his personal safety to inform police about the emails. “The police conducted regular patrols around the house,� Cr Eden advised The News. “But they think it may be a case of campaign shenanigans.� Cr Eden is set for a busy few weeks with his VCE exams next on his ‘to do’ list. As for his future as a councillor, Cr Eden is “really excited� and believes his election shows “age isn’t a barrier� to being given a chance to succeed.

Arts attract: Helen Hargreaves and Christine Clarke with artworks from artists participating in the Ricketts Point art exhibition in Braeside. Picture: Yanni.

Paintings part of the furniture EACH week a group of local artists meet at Ricketts Point to paint. It is not a structured format and each artist uses their own medium so each piece of art is quite unique. Six of these artists have been invited to display their work in an exhibition at The Natural Room furniture showroom. The artist’s paintings are displayed to compliment the instore furniture and give buyers a sense of how the art will look hanging in their own home.

Art appreciation means different things to different people and there is something here for most people to adore. The mediums include, watercolour, mixed media, inks, resin and acrylic. Exhibition times: Mon-Sat 10.00am to 5.00pm. Sun 11.00am to 4.00pm The exhibition is open until 11 November 2012 at The Natural Room showroom, 2/206 Governor Road, Braeside.

Need for internet speed push By Neil Walker FRUSTRATED Aspendale Garden residents fed up with slow internet speeds decided to resort to old-style analogue, not digital, correspondence. The Aspendale Gardens Residents Association wrote a letter to Telstra CEO David Thodey detailing their concerns about slow internet services in the area. Thodey responded, advising Telstra technical staff had found there was no localised network congestion and some internet users may experience slow connection speeds due to the their internet plan settings. Aspendale Garden residents have been advised there is no additional capacity available at the Mordialloc South sub-exchange to provide ADSL2+ internet services. Local homeowners must wait until someone cancels their ADSL2+ service or moves out of the area before another ADSL2+ service can be provided. “Telstra has no waiting list which is a way of hiding the problem,” AGRA secretary Tamsin Bearsley said. “And even when you can get broadband, it’s slow.” Telstra Country Wide Customer Service Manager Marcus Swinburne visited AGRA in July to expand on David Thodey’s response. He advised a ‘Top Hat program’, boosting speeds available from the Mordialloc South sub-exchange to Chelsea and Chelsea Heights, is being implemented and a “scheduled upgrade” will take place for Aspendale Gardens retirement village. Telstra spokesman James Howe advised The News that “we constantly monitor demand and know there’s demand in that area from the calls we’re getting.” He admitted Telstra has to “factor in how far along the national broadband

network is coming on and it has to be financially viable for Telstra to upgrade [the local services].” Local residents on older internet plans are urged to contact their existing internet service provider to ensure their internet service is configured correctly to an ADSL2+ port. Tamsin Bearsley noted the National Broadband Network is being “rolled out slowly”. She realised the provision of faster broadband services “is not a 5-minute solution” but noted Aspendale Gardens residents have been plagued by an inferior service for more than five years.

The federal government Department of Broadband, Communications and the Network Economy’s NBN website states “work is due to begin on installing fibre from January 2013 in phases with last work scheduled to commence in March 2014. It is estimated that the average time from work beginning to NBN services being available is 12 months.” The federal government-owned corporation tasked with building the national broadband network, NBN Co, did not respond to queries about a start date for the rollout in Aspendale Gardens before publication.

What is ADSL2+? ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line service. ADSL 2+ is a high speed broadband service which can deliver up to 20 megabits per second download speeds. Users can stream real time video and media, and use Voice Over Internet Telephony (VOIP), without issues experienced with slow broadband speeds.

Clubs get new sports centre FIVE sporting clubs will share rooms at a new multimillion dollar pavilion at Edithvale Recreation Reserve. The Bert Thomas Pavilion will be replaced with a two-storey pavilion incorporating change rooms, kitchen, kiosk, social rooms and a first floor terrace for spectators. Kingston Council has appointed Ducon Constructions for the $3.5 million build, which will take place from late January to November next year. Relocatable buildings will be provided for Chelsea Little Athletics Centre and Chelsea Baseball Club, sothe clubs can continue to use the recreation reserve. Chelsea Peninsula and Southern Veterans cycling clubs and Chelsea Soccer Club also use the reserve. Chelsea Soccer Club will continue to operate out of its rooms on Edithvale Rd and will move into clubrooms in the new pavilion upon its completion. The club’s existing rooms will then be demolished. Drainage will be installed on sports grounds at the reserve over coming months, finishing in March, followed by landscaping and a new carpark.

Remembrance Day

Any port in a storm: Tamsin Bearsley with Sebastian and Anna find another way to communicate while waiting for an ADSL port to become available.

THE Edithvale/Chelsea RSL Sub Branch will conduct a Remembrance Day service on Sunday 11 Novembe at their Cenotaph starting at 10.30am. Mornington Peninsula Legacy will present a Legacy Remembers Concert in the Edithvale/Chelsea RSL Function Room on Sunday 11 November at 2pm. Details 9708 8201.

Showcase gardens celebrate native display CRANBOURNE Botanical Gardens has opened the second stage of its Australian Garden. The opening of the second stage is the culmination of more than 20 years’ planning, construction and planting and sees the garden double in size to 15 hectares. It includes 170,000 plants of more than 850 different species and a lakeside area for community entertainment and events. Among the new sections are a river walk, Gondwana garden, eucalypt walk and a “weird and wonderful garden�. Royal Botanic Gardens director Philip Moors said the idea for the Australian Garden began as a dream to create a large-scale botanic garden that reflects the essence of Australia. “The Australian Garden is all about being immersed in the landscapes of Australia and being amazed by the colour and diversity of the plants. “We have always seen the Australian Garden as a fantastic opportunity to inspire visitors with ideas about how they could develop their own gardens as well as giving interstate and international visitors a uniquely Australian experience.� Details: rbg.vic.gov.au

Long-time love overcomes all By Jo Winterbottom SHE was a teenage beauty queen and he was a young RAAF recruit recently returned from Japan where he had served with the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces after World War II. She was unofficially engaged to someone else and her parents were concerned about the age gap – she was 19 and he was 26. To complicate things even further, she was a Roman Catholic and he was not, no small matter in 1950s Australia. But, as in many of the great stories, love overcame all obstacles and Barbara Elaine Lindrea and Frederick Jones were married in Holy Rosary church in Kensington on 8 November 1952. Next week, the Bonbeach couple will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary at a lunch with family and friends. “My mum and dad thought he was a bit too old for me, but they knew he would look after me,” Elaine remembered. Such was Fred’s devotion to his young sweetheart that he frequently saw her home from Manton’s department store in Bourke St, where they both worked, to Ascot Vale; it was uphill all the way on his bicycle. He also took her dancing, a common love that continued throughout their courting and early years of marriage. “We used to go all over the place to dances,” Fred remembered. “He gave me a great time,” Elaine laughed. After a short while living in Pascoe Vale, the newlyweds moved to Beaumaris where a new subdivision

had been opened on a former market garden. Here they stayed for 33 years, raising five children, before retiring to a unit in Bonbeach. Fred worked as a sign writer while Elaine cared for the children and kept the family home. Financially it was never easy, but both look back with satisfaction on having built a happy family which remains close.

“The kids’ clothes and things used to come first,” Elaine remembered. ‘”We had our ups and downs and it wasn’t easy, but you look back and think, ‘We made it’.” Each year they holidayed in Merimbula on the New South Wales south coast. Sport was a recreation; they played tennis and Fred took up football at the age of 38, when most others have decided their best football play-

ing days are behind them. There were frequent parties and holidays with neighbours, many of whom remain fast friends. It was with these friends that the Jones’ experienced a life-changing event in 1992, not long after Fred had retired. “I started work as a 14-year-old, punching my card into the clock,” he reminisced.

“I started a new job when I was in my 60s and I was back to punching a card into the clock again and I said to Elaine, I think I’ve had enough of that.” For 14 years the couple had lodged a weekly Tatts ticket in a syndicate with eight friends. In 1992 their numbers tumbled out of the barrel. “Things certainly became easier after that,” said Fred. This time, after helping the children with various expenses, there was enough left over for Fred and Elaine to move to a larger unit across the road in Bonbeach and take a threemonth holiday visiting friends overseas and joining a cruise. The couple enjoyed travelling together before Elaine had a stroke eight years ago. The Jones clan now includes seven grandchildren and one great grandchild, many of whom live nearby in Melbourne’s southern suburbs. According to Fred and Elaine, there is no magic formula for a long-term marriage, but love and gratitude are essential ingredients. “You just have to be glad of your life,” said Fred. “You have to do the right thing by each other – make sure things are 50/50.” And you don’t have to sit around making cow eyes at each other all the time, said Elaine. “We argue like crazy sometimes and I have a few ideas about what I’d like to do with him, but then, I don’t know what I would do without him.”

Hamer the green wedge visionary By Mike Hast THE architect of Melbourne’s green wedges, former Liberal premier Dick Hamer, was a man of great vision and incisive foresight. So says the man who helped Mr Hamer formalise the green wedges in the 1970s, retired upper house Liberal MP Alan Hunt, who represented South Eastern Province 1961-92. Mr Hunt was talking to The News two days before his 85th birthday about recent proposals announced by Planning Minister Matthew Guy to allow more development and previously banned uses in Melbourne’s 12 green wedges including the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston green wedges. “Dick Hamer was a man of great abilities and great vision, and we owe a lot to him. His vision [for the green wedges] still guides planning,” Mr Hunt said. Mr Hamer was Minister for Planning when in May 1966 he brought the proposal for green wedge zones to his colleagues in the Liberal state government led by long-time Premier Henry Bolte. The modern concept of green wedges had been formulated in the United Kingdom with a 1944 proposal to set aside green belts around urban areas of Greater London. It greatly influenced government policymakers and urban planners in Australia. Mr Hunt said the Hamer vision and the view of Alan Croxford, then head of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, “came into collision”. The MMBW was a powerful go-

vernment agency responsible for Melbourne’s water supply, sewerage, sewage treatment, town planning, management of parks, and maintenance of highways and bridges. “The minister’s view prevailed, although it took more than 12 months and the tension between opposing views lasted for some time,” Mr Hunt said. In 1967 the MMBW produced a re-

port, The Future Growth of Melbourne, which encapsulated the Hamer vision. It was the blueprint for what we know today as green wedge zones. “Fingers of growth” had developed along rail lines and major roads, and in between was farmland, parks and forests. By 1968, the government had adopted green wedges as policy and by 1971 their protection was part of planning laws.

bor government, the Kennett Liberal government and the Bracks Labor government all had allowed major housing developments in the green wedges. He called for bipartisan support of planning, arguing that major changes to planning rules must “survive the vagaries of elections”. “If [planning] direction is changed at all, it should be done gradually, and only through a full process of public consultation,” he wrote. “Sudden changes are the enemy of certainty and the antithesis of sound planning. “That is why political bipartisanship in planning is so important.” Mr Hunt made similar points in a submission to a parliamentary committee on public land and the protection of green wedges in 2007, this time calling for a special levy on all properties to support a lower rate for all farmers owning land in green wedges. He argued that all Melburnians benefited from green wedges, but farmers were not receiving sufficient support. When Mr Hunt spoke to The News at his home on the peninsula, he refused to criticise Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s proposals to allow more development in green wedges, staying loyal to the political party of his long life, but by praising Dick Hamer the message was clear – the green breaks that have stopped Melbourne becoming like a Los Angeles or a Sydney (which once had substantial green wedges; all now suburbs) were created by a man with vision and it takes vision to retain them.

The government’s planning policy included separate statements to protect greater Melbourne as well as later versions for the Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley, Macedon and the Mornington Peninsula, Mr Hunt said. Three of the five green wedge planning policies were introduced when Mr Hunt was Planning Minister, serving under Henry Bolte and then Dick Hamer when he replaced Bolte as state premier in 1972. Mr Hamer had held the planning portfolio for nearly a decade. In 1982 when Labor, led by John Cain, defeated the Liberals, cracks started to appear in the green wedges. The Cain government allowed Aspendale Gardens to be built in the South East green wedge. In 1989 Mr Hunt led a group of MPs who toppled Jeff Kennett as Opposition leader, replacing him with Alan Brown. Kennett made a comeback and led the Liberals to victory at the 1992 state election. Mr Hunt’s position in the Liberal Party became untenable and he retired after more than 30 years in the Parliament, but continued to serve in various public roles. He maintained his interest in the green wedges and in April 2003 wrote an article in The Age that broadly supported the Melbourne 2030 planning strategy that fixed the green wedge boundaries. In an article headed “World’s most liveable city no accident”, he wrote about the genesis of Melbourne’s green wedges and detailed how the Cain La-

Fire crews hit century PATTERSON River Fire Brigade is celebrating 100 years service to the communities of Carrum, Chelsea, Patterson Lakes, Bonbeach, Chelsea Heights and parts of Edithvale and Seaford. Patterson River Fire Brigade was formed in 2006 with the amalgamation of the Chelsea and Carrum Brigades. On 15 July 1912 the Chelsea Brigade was formed after a public meeting held by the Chelsea Progress Association. The brigade’s first Captain was Mr JJ Smith. The first Chelsea Fire Station was located on railway land on Point Nepean Road opposite the Chelsea shops. The Brigade was a fully volunteer brigade until 1966 when permanent Fire Officers were appointed by the Country Fire Authority. Carrum Fire Brigade was formed on 4 November 1912 at a public meeting in the Mechanics Institute Hall, Carrum. The First Captain was Mr G Ellis. The first fire

station was a shed close to where the railway crossing is at the Carrum railway station now and in 1928 a station was built mainly by the members at the time in Station Street, Carrum. The fully volunteer brigade operated from this station in 1928 until 2006. Over the past 100 years the brigades have provided dedicated fire protection to life and property to local residents. To celebrate the Centenary the brigade invites residents to a public open day: Patterson River Fire Station, McLeod Road, Carrum Saturday 10 November from 10am – 3pm New and past fire trucks on display, miniature fire truck for children to have photos taken in. Old brigade photo’s dating back to 1923 and other memorabilia Balloons, face painting and colouring competitions and many other displays Sausage Sizzle and Devonshire Tea

Ton up: Chelsea Primary School pupils celebrate their school’s centenary.

On Friday 19 October Chelsea Primary School celebrated their 100th birthday with a day and evening full of fun activities. Staff and students dressed up in past decades and played games such as hopscotch and skipping. The school was host to past staff and students who enjoyed looking at the many photos and memorabilia around the school and catching up with long lost friends over a cuppa and cake.The celebration finished with the community sharing a picnic and dancing to the Blackberry Jam Bush Band on the turf in the evening.

‘Hippies’ back with cash for kids By John Willis OLD hippies never die they just become Variety Bashers. Imagine 10 days and 4500 kilometres traversing some of Australia’s worst roads including the Birdsville Track in a 1976 Bedford van with four smelly hippies. Both the Scooby machine and its minstrel occupants were dressed to the nines in an ostentatious flower power theme, spreading peace, love and mung beans to remote outback and rural communities. The old Beddie is better suited to delivering pork pies to Yorkies than conquering the outback, but that’s part of the challenge. It was part of a massive entourage of vehicles, none less than 30 years old and all dressed according to a theme. We had cartoon characters, Arabs with camels, more Elvises than Vegas, lots of pink things, karate kids, fairies, football teams, celebrities, Wookies, super heroes, hula girls, gangsters, pussycats and even Sinatra’s Rat Pack. Our magical mystery tour began at Shepparton in Victoria’s food belt where 300 odd, and I mean really odd, bashers made their way to the starting line for a journey that would take in many kilometres of harsh secondary roads and tracks. The challenge carved a route up the centre of the country via Broken Hill, Marree, Birdsville, Boulia, Mt Isa and across to Queensland’s east coast through Cloncurry, Richmond, Charters Towers, Airlie Beach and finishing with a boom on the beautiful Hamilton Island. The main purpose of the festivities is to raise money for a wonderful cause, the Variety children’s charity, which helps children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs. It’s refreshing to see people open their hearts and wallets to raise more than $1.25 million for the kids. Money is essential, but the look of sheer enjoyment on the faces of thousands of kids along the trek is priceless. The Bashers visit schools, outback stations, public venues and community groups, and for many it is the event of the decade. The outrageous group of charitable curiosities entertain the countryside with costumes, vehicles, gifts, music and antics. The secondary purpose of the Variety Bash is to have fun. It’s a 10-day adventure where reputations are won and lost and everyone gets an opportunity to laugh at themselves and everyone else. Locals return the spirit in kind by providing meals to hungry travellers. Our Variety Hippy Band (normally

called The Occasionals) provided musical entertainment for the journey with Wilbur Wilde and Mike Brady hopping in for a few numbers at a rock concert at the Mt Isa Civic Centre. There were many unplugged tunes in the most unlikely places along the way, like at the tail end of a set of skid marks where the Hippy van gouged a 200-metre groove in the gravel after snapping a lower ball joint many kilometres from civilisation. The support teams are amazing. The volunteer mechanics can fix anything and nothing is too much trouble. Volunteer medics ensured we all survived with little more than sore faces from constant smiles. Every day and night people from all walks of life meet to share (and embellish) their adventures over a drink and a meal. There were celebrities and tycoons raging side by side with those of the simplest means and lifestyles. We regularly mingled with multi-generational families from remote properties who cheerfully lived in what seemed to us city slickers as lonely isolation while stoically dealing with the harsh realities of the outback including fire, floods and drought. The Variety Bash cars are as varied as the people who own, drive, pre-

pare and maintain them, with every team having a theme. ZH Fairlanes are popular as is the WB Statesman. There were Chevys, Toranas and even an old Peugeot, a Mainline ambulance, Ford Ranchero wagon, Chryslers and more. A 1964 Cortina sedan brought back wonderful images of teenage nights at the drive-in with my first real girlfriend. The bash is full of personalities. The volunteer mechanic called “Cowboy� exemplified the great Aussie character. He transformed an old International prime mover into a mobile support unit complete with full workshop and hydraulic lift towing facilities. It even provided crow’s nest seating for the occupants of failed vehicles. This stockwhip-cracking man has the mutual respect and admiration of all for his great commitment and spirit of adventure as he good-naturedly repairs mechanical failures with magical abilities and a bewildering array of tools and equipment. Head mechanic “Tow Ball� leads the rest of the large mechanical support crew in numerous well-equipped vehicles. The rest of the volunteer officials – including Variety staff, Ambulance Victoria medics and photography and film crew – keep the ageing entrants

AC/DC’s It’s a Long Way to the Top. We were stoked to be presented with the Spirit of the Bash award, and the overall winners were the Elvises, who entertained us at every opportunity. Martin Stone was the highest individual fundraiser with more than $275,000. If you get the chance to join a Variety Bash in any state, do it. It’s a unique, eye-opening, entertaining and enjoyable way to see this marvellous country with the security of a full contingent of support staff. You’ll meet characters and enjoy smiles on the faces of the local communities as well as the participants. It’s heart-warming to see humankind at its best.

They were joined by Seaford fishing identity John Willis for the Bash and raised more than $27,000, the 10th-highest of all teams. The event raised $1.25 million.

and their vehicles in motion. Nobody was left behind. One entrant had a former MFB fire truck that supplied drinks, barbecues and assorted supplies. It set up at isolated stops to supply delights such as deep fried Mars Bars, prawns, chicken wings and other delicacies. Be warned, you are fined along the trail for the smallest of misdemeanours and nothing is precious. There is regular theft of artefacts and essential costume items, particularly hippy scalps, Arab headdress and other items. They are all put to auction or the victims fined to raise further funds for Variety. After 4500 gruelling, exhausting and hilarious kilometres the Variety Bash reached luxurious Hamilton Island where weary entrants washed away red dust inside and out. The Whitsundays are breathtaking and we spent many hours enjoying the views over the Great Barrier Reef and wallowing in relaxing waters. The closing party was a beauty. We were treated to a feast of seafood delicacies and more. Mike Brady’s band rocked up a treat, particularly with Lisa Edwards, Wilbur Wilde and eventually us Hippies and the Elvises joining the throng.

WHAT’S NEW

Frankston company out to ‘crush’ the US FRANKSTON-based Bin Buddie Company has developed, registered and patented a new product called Garden Bin Buddie. The company says it was formed to manufacture and market an innovative and inexpensive garden and household tool in Australia, with the objective of tackling the massive United States market. It has a design patent pending, has applied for a trademark in the US and has had interest from a number of American manufacturing companies as well as from one of the nation’s leading hardware retailers. Garden Bin Buddie was created to assist homeowners to safely and easily compress the contents of garden wheelie bin by up to 70 per cent, the company states. “No more cuts and scratches from manually trying to crush the garden and grass clippings, and no more danger of falling while jumping in it to try and create more space in an overflowing wheelie bin. “People would be surprised at the num-

ber of householders who undertake this practice so they can get more of their garden rubbish collected each fortnight,” said Jimmy Rylands, owner of Nu Age Tube Bending, which manufactures Garden Bin Buddie for the company. “It ends in many broken bones and bruises, without even counting the serious cuts, scratches and infections that are often sustained by handling the sharp sticks, thorns and prickles in the garden waste.” Mr Rylands said Garden Bin Buddie would work effectively on any wheelie bin so is useful in compacting general rubbish and recycled refuse bins as well, but it is on garden waste where it is really necessary. “The garden bin is never big enough for the cuttings, clippings, fallen leaves and broken branches found even in smaller gardens,” he said. “Garden Bin Buddie will allow the avid gardener to get so much more in their bin without causing it to become stuck. In two years of extensive testing on all types of

waste bins, no bin compacted with a Garden Bin Buddie, either on garden or household waste, has ever failed to empty under normal collection conditions.” Mr Rylands said this is due to the unique tamper plate and lever design of Garden Bin Buddie, which causes the contents to be “pulled away” from the bin walls, while also easily breaking the sharp sticks and branches that are the main offenders in causing the rubbish to stay stuck in the bin during pickups. The product isn’t available in stores yet, but is being offered to consumers via the internet or telephone ordering, with an offer of free home delivery in the Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula areas. “At $49.95 including GST it is a robust, superbly designed, superbly manufactured product with a three-year guarantee.” Bin Buddie can be contacted on the internet at www.binbuddie.com or by phoning or faxing 9783 6422.

Nail it with laser treatment ARE you suffering discoloured, thickened, fungal toe nails? Fungal nail disease, medically referred to as onychomycosis, affects 2% to 14% of the adult population. Fungal nail disease may result in pain, impair the ability to walk and can contribute to negative self-esteem. Some prescription medications have side effects and therefore are not always the best treatment option. Another option is surgery to remove the nail, but surgery can be painful and time is needed for the treatment site to heal. Patterson Allied Health uses the latest technology ‘laser therapy’ to treat the disease, using a laser beam that is slowly directed across the nail bed. The laser beam will generate heat beneath the nail and resolve the underlying fungal infection. As the nail grows you should see significant improvement and eventually the nail will grow clear. Patterson Allied Health prides itself on offering premium health care using a holistic approach for all the family. Head podiatrist Kristi Boles, along with Ben Millerd, Renay Clarke, Stephen Devenish, Josh

Mum’s message goes viral LAUREN Ostrowski Fenton – life coach, personal trainer and single mother of four – was recently granted prestigious “YouTube Partner” status on YouTube for her popular videos on personal development, meditation and healthy living. Lauren’s videos have broken the 100,000 hits mark, putting her videos in the top eight per cent of popularity of YouTube internationally. “I started off with the idea that I wanted to change people’s lives through video meditation, exercise and wellbeing. One day one of my videos went viral with 40,000 hits and then another and another,” she said. “I think what people like is that I am a normal person; a single mother of four and that I am older. I think because I am just an ordinary

person people identify with me and realise that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Just have a go.” Lauren is soon to turn 48 and has been personal trainer and life coach for 30 years but it has only been with the YouTube videos that she has become internationally recognised. “I love waking up in the morning and reading all the lovely letters I receive from people around the world writing about their exercise and wellbeing needs.” Lauren has found that when a person combines careful goal-setting with meditation and weight-bearing exercise, they have the perfect recipe for success not only in fitness but also in life.

Find your way home ONE of the more unusual street names has its origins in old English, but it is far removed from this grand and stately home. Chetwyn is an uncommon name for a boy and means “little house on the twisted path”, but rest assured, there is nothing little or twisted about the home. Its grandeur is evident from first sighting; the block size is an impressive 2620 square metres and is perfectly landscaped. The manicured backyard with its brick edging is like a bowling green and the two Chinese elm trees that flank the driveway are particularly eye-catching. There is a nice flow from room to room with elegant formal living and inviting family zones complementing each other. A large rumpus room offers space for the kids to call their own and there is a private home office for study time. The focal point of the home is undoubtedly the fine kitchen. Recently updated with striking stone benchtops, it has stainless-steel appliances, an island bench and plenty of clever storage places. An adjacent casual meals and family area opens to the sunny front deck and the covered rear patio, which will be a perfect spot for leisurely evening meals on warm nights. Four of the five bedrooms are upstairs. The master bedroom makes the most of an elevated outlook and has his and hers walk-in robes and an ensuite. The three other bedrooms have built-in robes and share the second bathroom. Downstairs, the guest quarters has dual-entry access to a third bathroom. Other wet areas include a very user-friendly laundry with access to the all-weather courtyard along the side. The design and functionality of the home makes everything just that little bit easier. Fully wired for surround sound, other smart features include a ducted vacuum and heating system, and, for peace of mind, a security alarm and video intercom.

Remembrance Day 2012

Commemorating the armistice REMEMBRANCE Day, also known as Armistice Day, is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of the First World War to honour the members of armed forces who died in the line of duty. It is observed on 11 November to mark the end of hostilities in the First World War in 1918. The armistice was agreed at 5am on 11 November, to come into effect at 11am Paris time; the reason the occasion is sometimes referred to as “the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”. It was the result of a hurried and desperate process. German chief of staff Paul von Hindenburg had sent a telegram on 7 November requesting a meeting with French Marshal Ferdinand Foch. He was under pressure of imminent revolution in Berlin, Munich and elsewhere in Germany. The German delegation headed by Matthias Erzberger crossed the front line in five cars and was escorted for 10 hours across the devastated war zone of northern France. They were then taken by train to a secret destination, Foch’s private train parked in a railway siding in the forest of Compiègne. Foch appeared only twice in the three days of negotiations: on the first day to ask the German delegation what they wanted and on the last day to see the signing of documents. In between, the German delegation discussed the details of the Allied terms with French and Allied officers. The armistice amounted to complete German demilitarisation, with few promises made by the

Allies in return. The naval blockade of Germany would continue until complete peace terms could be agreed. There was no question of negotiation. The Germans were able to correct a few impossible demands (for example, the decommissioning of more submarines than the fleet possessed) and registered their formal protest at the harshness of Allied terms. But they were in no position to refuse to sign. On Sunday 10 November, they were shown newspapers from Paris informing them that the Kaiser had abdicated. Erzberger was not able to get instructions from Berlin because of the fall of the government. The instructions to sign came from Hindenburg, who felt that an armistice was absolutely necessary. Signatures were made between 5.12am and 5.20am, Paris time. While hostilities formally ended at this time, the First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919. The day was specifically dedicated by King George V on 7 November 1919 as a day of remembrance for members of the armed forces killed during the “war to end all wars”. The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem In Flanders Fields.

Peace at last: This photograph was taken in the forest of Compiègne after reaching an agreement for the armistice that ended the First World War. The train carriage was given to Ferdinand Foch for military use by the manufacturer, Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. Foch is second from the right.

Hitler railroaded French WHEN Adolf Hitler received word from the French government that it wished to negotiate an armistice in June 1940, Hitler selected Compiègne Forest as the site for the negotiations. As Compiègne was the site of the 1918 armistice ending the Great War with a humiliating defeat for Germany, Hitler saw the location as a supreme moment of revenge for Germany over France. Hitler decided to sign the armistice in the same rail carriage where the Germans had signed the 1918 armistice. However, in the last sentence of the preamble, the drafters inserted “However, Germany does not have the intention to use the armistice conditions and armistice negotiations as a form of humiliation against such a valiant opponent” referring to the French forces. Furthermore, in Article 3, Clause 2, the drafters stated that their intention was not to heavily occupy northwest France after cessation of hostilities with Britain. In the same railway carriage in which the 1918 armistice was signed, removed from a museum building and placed on the precise spot where it was located in 1918, Hitler sat in the same chair in which Marshal Ferdinand Foch had sat when he faced the representatives of the defeated German empire. After listening to the reading of the preamble, Hitler – in a calculated gesture of disdain toward the French delegates – left the carriage, as Foch had done in 1918, leaving the negotiations to his Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (High Command of the Armed Forces) Chief, General Wilhelm Keitel. The armistice site was demolished by the Germans on Hitler’s orders three days later. The carriage was taken to Berlin as a trophy

of war, along with pieces of a large stone tablet that bore the inscription (in French): Here on the eleventh of November 1918 succumbed the criminal pride of the German Reich. Vanquished by the free peoples which it tried to enslave. The Alsace-Lorraine Monument, depicting a German eagle impaled by a sword, was destroyed and all evidence of the site obliterated, with the notable exception of the statue of Marshal Foch: Hitler ordered it to be left intact so that it would be honouring only a wasteland. The railway carriage was taken to Crawinkel in Thuringia in 1945, where it was destroyed by SS troops and the remains buried. After the war, German POW labour was used to restore the armistice site. The stone tablet’s pieces were recovered and reassembled, and a replica of the railway carriage placed at the site. The Alsace-Lorraine monument was rebuilt from scratch.

AROUND THE REGION

Tulli and Wilma back in the bush By Mike Hast TULLI the wombat was rescued from his dead mother’s pouch more than a year ago and last weekend was taken back to the bush as a 20kg adult. Tulli and her “sheltermate” Wilma are among the animals rescued each year and taken to Animalia Wildlife Shelter in Frankston. The wombats have been taken to a bush property near Nar Nar Goon and put into a small enclosure prior to being released in a couple of weeks after they have finished building a burrow and getting used to the smells and sounds of their new home range. They are being fed twice a day by the people who own the property. Tulli weighed less than 350 grams, about one and half cups of water, when she was taken from her dead mother’s pouch on the side of the road. “She had a few scratches and bruises on her back, legs and the back of her head, but apart from that she looked fine,” said Michelle Thomas of Animalia. Wilma was brought to Animalia a few months later. She was about the same age as Tulli and the pair has been raised together by Ms Thomas and a team of about 27 “shelter helpers”, who look after all kids of native animals except kangaroos. The shelter has four wombats being raised to adulthood – Wilson (from Wilsons Promontory), Millie, Dizzy and Oren. Animalia has between 1500 and 3000 animals go through its books each year, from inspections on the side of roads (often bad news) to simple

rescues and complex rehabilitations lasting many months. The numbers are boosted at this time of the year when orphaned ducklings are brought in, with 35 arriving on one day recently. The shelter has been flat out since the devastating Black Saturday fires of February 2009. Volunteers care for wombats, koalas, echidnas, wallabies, flying foxes, microbats, possums, bandicoots, antechinus and seabirds including a shy albatross earlier this year. Recent warm weather has seen echidnas out and about, with eight rescued animals brought to the shelter in the past two weeks. Ms Thomas said volunteers enable Animalia to look after lots of critters. About half the volunteers are aged from 15-18 and the shelter is looking for about eight new people as well as foster carers, who are shelter helpers with experience and take animals home. Helpers mainly come through Frankston Council’s volunteers’ website, Seek.com’s website and school community service programs. Ms Thomas said the truth about what happens to native animals motivates many people to volunteer at Animalia and other shelters. “This is not a petting zoo; tasks include scrubbing cages and removing animal droppings. It’s not glamorous work.” Caring for so many different animals is an expensive business, Ms Thomas said. “We rely on donations, small grants from the Department of Sustainability

and Environment, and our own money,” she said. Expensive items include heat lamps, baby formula, pilchards for seabirds, vitamins, electricity, water and gas. Animalia is seeking sponsorship from community organisations. There’s a bit of a crisis at the moment with the shelter running low

on funds. “It’s a regular problem but we’ve been under a bit more financial pressure since the bushfires. It’s hard to say no to the animals.”  For more information about Animalia Wildlife Shelter, to donate funds or get an animal rescued, contact Michelle Thomas on 0435 822 699.

My life as a tyrannical older brother By Stuart McCullough THE worm has officially turned. For safety’s sake, it has used its indicator and checked its mirrors before doing so, but there can be no doubt. From this moment on everything is different. Assumptions that have set like concrete over the past four decades now count for nothing. It is officially year zero. That’s because my brother, Cam, turns forty this week. Although many families would celebrate this milestone with cake and some kind of present, I choose to recognise it in an altogether different fashion. Forget signing a card. Or even buying a present. This year, my brother’s birthday is about one simple thing: sweet, sweet revenge. That may sound a little ungenerous, if not downright rude. But this is no mere random attack on a sibling but, instead, a universal karmic alignment of a far greater magnitude. For as long as I can remember, my position as the eldest child in our family has been unassailable for three hundred and sixty one days out of every year. I enjoyed all the perks of office – the right to travel in the front seat on the way home from school, the right to administer a ‘pinch and a punch’ on the first day of every month and the right to have possession of the television remote control. But for four, gruesome days a year, this splendid existence would come under threat. The reason for this rather major disturbance in the Force is simple – each year my brother and I are the same age for four days. To say we fought like cats and dogs is possibly, of itself, an act of animal cruelty. Determined to make as much hay as four days of sunshine would reasonably allow, my

brother took every available opportunity to remind me that we were now the same age and I was no longer the boss of him. My attempts to point out that I had a three hundred and sixty one day lead over him were to no effect. He was entirely unmoved and took possession of the remote con-

trol to reinforce the point. Suddenly my big brother powers were rendered completely useless. It was like forcing Superman to strap on a pair of Kryptonite underpants. He did not so much challenge my authority as he did my entire reason for existence. At the time, it felt like a massive in-

justice – the kind that deserves if not a pre-emptive military strike then the strictest of sanctions. But in the years since, I have taken time to reflect and, I’ll admit, I now see things differently. In retrospect, it is little wonder that Cameron took every chance he could – no matter how fleeting – to cast off the chains of my oppressive reign of terror. Because it is true to say that in those years I was not just an older brother. I was a despot. There are many different kinds of older brothers. There are those who are simply disinterested and treat younger members of the family as though they don’t exist. That was never really an option for me. Our geographical isolation meant I was unable to traipse off to the local shopping centre to hang out with a bunch of like-minded malingering youths. Even getting to the nearest milk bar required an overnight hike. Like it or not, we were stuck with each other. It’s little wonder that we went a little stir crazy from time to time. Some older brothers trade in violence and beat their siblings into submission. Not me. My preferred theatre for sibling warfare was the mind. It was there that I acted out my treacherous schemes and plots. To think of it now makes me cringe with embarrassment. Indeed, the list of cruel and unusual taunts I directed at my various brothers and sisters is simply far too appalling to publish here. It is enough to say that I once enraged my brother so much that he knocked a hole in my door. A brown patch of Selley’s disturbingly named ‘Spakfiller’ on an otherwise white door would continue as a reminder in years to come of my ability to be awful.

Once, I emptied my money box onto the top of the Coonara heater and invited one of my brothers to help himself. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the Coonara wood-fire heater is a large black metal box that radiates heat. It is so hot to the touch that you generally place a protective grill at the front to prevent the unfamiliar from losing a layer of skin. Naturally, coins soak up heat like a metal sponge and my brother’s enthusiasm for collecting abandoned coinage was suddenly balanced by a burning sensation. It is often said that itchy palms mean that you’re about come into some money. Burning palms, however, means that you will shortly require some kind of medical treatment. No wonder my brother thought he should rise up against me by claiming the mantle of ‘eldest child’. As richly as I deserved it, I can stand the annual mutiny no more. But, as with most things in life, there is a tipping point and that tipping point is forty years of age. For the next four days, my brother and I will both be forty. I know he won’t call to say I’m not the boss of him as those days are far behind us. It is time to seek revenge for every time he tried to challenge my authority. This year, it will be me that rings him. Yes, I will be the one who takes pleasure in the fact that we are the same age. That may sound cruel, but old habits die hard before producing a series of ever-less successful sequels. But that is beside the point. For now it is enough to say that by teasing my brother in this manner, I will once again become the tyrant I was always supposed to be. Happy birthday, Cam. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance ONE of my best memories as a young entertainment writer was attending the first Kiss media conference in Sydney in 1980. I was a dedicated Black Sabbath fan and was overwhelmed at how humble these rockers were. I talked with Gene and Paul, and scored a Kiss token and a Kiss jacket. I went to the concert at Waverley Park in November 1980 courtesy of the promoter. Tickets cost $14 for unreserved seats. My wife of 10 months, Deborah, caught the eye of Ace Frehley who quickly pointed his finger in her direction with a glee; mind you some years before Deborah had Angus Young on his knees playing to her feet in a small crowd at the Sandown Park Hotel. I am often reminded of what could have been; wife of a rock star. It is amazing to see that two Jewish kids, Stanley Eisen (Paul Stanley) and Eugene Klein (Gene Simmons) would still be performing members of one of the greatest rock’n’roll bands 40 years later. Stanley and Simmons (pictured) were talented in their own right; Stanley had a background in marketing and advertising, and Simmons had a degree in journalism and was an editorial assistant for Vogue as well as a keen collector of Marvel Comics. After advertising in the rock mag Rolling Stone for a drummer and guitarist, Kiss was born and played their first gig at Coventry in Queens, New York, on 30 January 1974. Kiss became a concert attraction, the music became almost secondary. They were a strange phenomenon for without airplay Kiss albums Alive, Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, and Dynasty went gold or even platinum. By the late Seventies the most important part of the Kiss empire was

merchandising, selling up to $100,000 worth at each concert. Destroyer remains one of the best rock albums produced and the latest Kiss offering, Monster (Universal), their 20th studio album, is the closest to Destroyer; no keyboards, orchestra or outside songwriters, just fullthrottle guitars and drums. Monster has 12 tracks and collaborations from all four members, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. The album’s first single, the rocker Hell or Hallelujah, is an example of the old Kiss, outlining the group’s long-held “take no prisoners philosophy”. Drummer Singer impresses with vocals on All for the Love of Rock and Roll. Tommy Thayer does lead vocals on Outta This World, my favourite track and impressive harmonies on this track. Gene Simmons’s haunting vocals can be heard on Back to the Stone Age and the signature Kiss sound of

old is heard on Take Me Down with a thumping bass guitar and drums – rock’n’roll heaven. A team effort on vocals has given the album some impressive harmonies evident on Eat Your Heart Out. Paul Stanley produced the album and enlisted Greg Collins as coproducer. Collins has worked with Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gwen Stefani, U2, System of a Down, Meiko, Matchbox Twenty and Meatloaf. The strong pop hooks and perfect sounding production of Monster may not appeal to die-hard heavy metal fans, but it isn’t heavy metal, it’s pop-metal, and arguably the best popmetal ever recorded.

GEORGE Michael has cancelled his 2012 Australian tour. “I have today announced the cancellation of the shows in Australia which breaks my heart,” he said in a press release. “By way of explanation all I can say at this time is that since last year’s illness I have tried in vain to work my way through the trauma that the doctors who saved my life warned me I would experience. “They recommended complete rest and the type of post-traumatic counselling that is available in cases like mine but I’m afraid I believed (wrongly) that making music and getting out there to perform for the audiences that bring me such joy would be therapy enough in itself. “Unfortunately I seriously underestimated how difficult this year would be and although I was right to believe that the shows would bring me great happiness and that my voice would recover completely

(I truly think that some of my recent performances have been my best ever), I was wrong to think I could work my way through the major anxiety that has plagued me since I left Austria last December. “All that’s left for me to do is apologise to my wonderful Australian fan base and to promise faithfully that as soon as I complete these shows here in the UK I will receive the treatment that is so long overdue.” *** ELTON John performs at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 18 November.

Elton and Billy tribute AUSTRALIAN musicians Lance Strauss and Jimmy Mann replicate the music of Elton John and Billy Joel in a tribute show at Frankston Arts Centre on Melbourne Cup eve. Performing under the banner of Tour De Force, Strauss, who plays under the name Elton Jack, and Mann, whose stage name is BigShot, “replicate the sound that is synonymous with both artists”, said peninsula-based concert promoter Simon Mills of Power House Entertainment. “The talented musicians replicate the phenomenon that is Elton John and Billy Joel together on the one stage,” he said. The arts centre show is the only performance in Melbourne and is expected to draw Elton John and Billy Joel fans from across the metropolis. “The original Tour De Force began in 1994 and continues with no sign of its popularity waning as Sir Elton John and Billy Joel continue

to tour the world together, and in their own separate shows,” Mr Mills said. “The duo will be backed by an accomplished band dedicated to providing the Elton John and Billy Joel sound including a sax and flute player. “The show starts with both artists on stage in intimate mode playing the classics Your Song and Just The Way You Are before the band joins them and they launch into My Life, Movin’ Out, I’m Still Standing, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me and other major hits. “The show finishes with just the two artists and two pianos playing Candle in the Wind and Piano Man.” Tour De Force: Tribute to Elton John and Billy Joel, 8pm, Monday 5 November, Frankston Arts Centre.

HISTORY

The stigma that was Chelsea’s By Frank McGuire THE delay in raising the municipality’s status in keeping with Mordialloc, may have been caused through adverse publicity about ‘a looseness in the behaviour of some men and women who were spending their holidays in the weekend houses and camps.’ As far back as 1908, when there were only a small number of permanent residents living at Carrum, it was found necessary to open a police station during the summer months and a permanent station opened there in December 1912. Chelsea had also found the need for permanent police protection and a station was provided on 19 November, of the same year. Some of the troublemakers would arrive with their mates on the ‘drunks express’, the last train down on Saturday nights, arriving at Chelsea after midnight with nine gallon kegs stacked in the rear carriage and guards van. The holiday makers were generally well behaved, but a minority few who did kick over the traces, soon came under

the watchful eye of the local constabulary who dealt directly with the culprits. It seemed also, that because of the distance from Melbourne there was somewhat of a ‘Bohemian life style’ amongst some of the permanent residents, resulting in divorce cases, highlighted in the Melbourne ‘scandal sheets’. In one instance the Melbourne Truth carried the banner headline ‘Sand Sin and Shame at Chelsea’…A popular quip by vaudeville comedians was ‘Are you married, or do you live at Chelsea.’ Yes, Chelsea had a bad name which was hard to live down. There were plenty of highly respected families living in the area, in addition to the more highly regarded ‘campers’ who came in holiday and club groups to rent houses or camp near the foreshore. The members of such organisations added colour, with the men attired in striped blazers and creams, while the girls were fashionably dressed in skirts, nipped at the waist, worn

with white frilled lace blouses. Most of those young people were proud of their reputation, were full of fun, but frowned on those who misbehaved to the extent of creating such a nuisance. For instance, on one rare occasion a holiday maker tried to dodge paying Chelsea cabby (Mrs Louisa Dodd) the cab fare. Mrs Dodd followed him into the camp with murder in her heart. However, he was saved from being ‘skinned alive’ by his mates who paid the fare. During the 1920s the Chelsea campers’ behaviour had improved to a great extent. An article in the Melbourne Herald during January 1923 read: ‘On Saturday night Mrs Connor and Miss Davidson, the policewomen, with Plain Clothes Constables Dunn and Snowden, motored to the different camps from Aspendale to Carrum and looked through them. There was nothing to be seen to which objection could be taken. Hundreds of young people of both sexes were in camp, but they were not noisy. No indication of former dis-

solute conduct or of drunkenness were discovered.’ In 1924 Cr Roy Beardsworth took strong exception to an attack against the district. He told a Council meeting that divorce cases in the daily papers and particularly a certain weekly, were not reported fairly as regards Chelsea. Because an unhappy couple came from Chelsea this fact was unnecessarily featured. City theatres were indulging in quips about Chelsea, he said. The local newspaper said there was a speedy remedy, Change the name; under a new name Chelsea would immediately lose its stigma for all time. The article went on to say there was not one redeeming feature in retaining the name of Chelsea. The opinion was expressed that immediate steps should be taken to select a new name, and forward a petition to the authorities requesting a change. Many letters were written for and against the proposal until in October 1924, the News published the following letter: ‘Why change the name at

all? When I was a newcomer to this district, I was attracted by the beauty of the place. ‘Let us look at the future. With careful pruning, our rose of Chelsea will blossom again. The rose is always a rose, notwithstanding its surroundings. Besides, how many names of other towns would have to be changed if viewed with half-closed eyes? ‘It would be a sign of weakness to quake before criticism, so let us fight the evil. You cannot obtain a more euphonious name than Chelsea.’ So Chelsea remained Chelsea, a name said to have derived from a ‘shelly beach’ on the ancient River Thames, London. This article originally appeared in Chelsea: A Beachside Community by Frank McGuire and is republished coutesy of the City of Chelsea Historical Society. The book is available to buy from the City of Chelsea Historical Society. Call 03 9772 0145.

Ducs peck Sharks, Reds knock off Ballam PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MOOROODUC is in a strong position to cause the first big upset of the season against Sorrento. Winning the toss and batting first, the Ducs made steady progress throughout the afternoon, eventually being bowled out in the 64th over for 235. Mark Cordeux played a match-saving innings at the bottom of the order with 68, while the tail of Justin McCleary (21) and Nick Williams (20) supported him extremely well. Cordeux, McCleary and Williams took the score from 8/120 to 235. Luke Sheenan was solid at the top of the order with 47 and Stuart Plunkett

made 26. Skipper Bobby Wilson was removed for a duck, courtesy of Anthony Blackwell, who snared 5/58 off 20 overs. Sorrento openers Jedd Falck and Nick Jewell have been getting their side away to a flyer this season, but both are back in the sheds after McLeary claimed Falck and Plunkett had Jewell trapped leg before for 25. The Sharks will resume at 2/39. Mt Martha has already picked up the victory against Ballam Park. Looking for an outright, the Reds won the toss and batted first, making 5/106 in 35 overs. Martin Hand top-scored with 34, Mitch Darville hit 27 and Jason Jacoby was not out 22 before skipper Chris

Holcombe declared the innings closed. The Knights were bowled out for 102 in 40 overs. Matty Roach topscored with 43. Justin Pomeroy was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers with 4/16 from 11 overs, while Tim Bateman snared 4/39 from 14. David Sands chipped in with 2/21. The Reds will be going all out for the outright this weekend. Mt Eliza has plenty of work to do with the ball to get the points over neighbour Peninsula Old Boys. The Old Boys won the toss and elected to bowl, which proved to be a good move by the end of the day. POB restricted the Mounties to 9/166 off 75 overs.

Justin Grant with 46 was the best of the Mounties’ bats, while Adam Mikkelson was a contributor yet again with 27. Adam Jones, Zac Fillipone, John Forrest and Dylan O’Malley all claimed two wickets each for the Old Boys. Mornington faces an uphill battle against Rye after being bowled out 142 in 66 overs. Rob Hearn opened the innings with 48 for the Dogs, and Luke Popov contributed 22. Rhys Wynne was clearly the best of the Demons’ bowlers with 4/47 from 29 overs, while Aaron Vernon and Justin King each claimed two wickets. Darren Groves bowled 13 overs for just 16 runs.

In reply, the Demons are 0/14 from nine overs. A century to Justin Bridgeman has helped Long Island to 9/229 against Heatherhill. Joel Stevenson and Andrew Tweedle played great supporting roles to Bridgeman (102) with 33 and 30 respectively. Brett Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 3/75 from 28 overs, while James Bolletta claimed 2/32. In the final match of the round, Baxter’s ground was unplayable for its match against Crib Point and the teams will play a one-day match this weekend.

Burdett and Weare wind back clock as Blues struggle against Braves DISTRICT By IT Gully TWO of the MPCA’s best-ever batsmen, Keith Burdett and Danny Weare, wound back the clock on Saturday by scoring centuries in MPCA District cricket. Burdett smacked 129 for Somerville against Boneo in its round three match, while Weare hit an even 100 as Langwarrin took on Flinders at B A Cairns Reserve. The triple figures ensured that both Somerville and Langwarrin passed 300, making life very difficult for the opposition. Main Ridge has set Pines a big total of 272 for victory, Delacombe Park smacked 259 against Frankston YCW, Baden Powell needs just 98 runs with nine wickets in hand to beat Hastings, and Seaford is staring down the barrel against Carrum, which needs just 46 runs to claim the 12 points.

With no points from its opening two matches, Somerville needed to produce something special against Boneo. Knowing the opposition wasn’t in the greatest of touch, Boneo sent the Eagles in to bat after winning the toss. Burdett opened the innings, rather than batting in the middle order, and out on 123 with opening partner Nick Marshall, who helped himself to 48. Andrew West then came in the middle order and hit 63, helping the home side to 7/317 from 75 overs. Stewart Mathieson, Leigh Janssen and Ryan Jellie all claimed three wickets each for Boneo. With the likes of Ben Wells and reigning league medallist David Ross unavailable to play, Danny Weare made an earlier than expected return to Langwarrin’s First XI in the game against Flinders. Coming in at three, Weare cracked 100, while Andy Johnson hit 70 after

coming off a ton the match before. Jarryd Amalfi made 46 and coach Mark Cooper 32 as Langwarrin amassed 8/319 in its 75 overs. Tom Clements was the pick of the Flinders bowlers with 4/62 off 18 overs. Hastings will need to produce something special with the ball to beat Baden Powell. Winning the toss and batting first, the Blues were scratchy early. Coach Scott Phillips got things back on track with 69, but quickly ran out of partners. With Brad Watson (23), Jake Hewitt (18) and Luke Hewitt (15) the only other three batsmen to score double figures, the bottom quickly fell out of the Blues. Hastings lost 6/10 when Tim Birch was dismissed for six. Anjula Perera was the X factor for the Braves, snaring four wickets, while John Harrison snared a couple. The Braves faced the last 12 overs

of the day after bowling the Blues out for 141. Perera made 18 before he was dismissed by Isuru Dias. Adam Landry was aggressive from the start and will resume on 26 with the Braves 1/44. Delacombe Park bounced back from an ordinary performance in its last match with the majority of the batting line-up having an impact against Frankston YCW. Nick Christides opened with 26, Connor Glendinning top-scored with 43, Joel Malcolm hit 42 and Jon Guthrie spent some time in the middle to compile 31. Shane Deal made a solid contribution at the end of the innings with 23. The Parkers were bowled out in the second last over for 259. Damien Lawrence was again the star for Seaford, this time against Carrum, scoring 51 of the team’s total of 125. A handy 14 from Andy McMannis, 13 from newcomer Warren Clark and

14 from Geoff Smith ensured the home side got passed 100. The Lions shared the wickets around, Dean Polson snaring three, and Lachy Dobson and Jeremy Graves two each. In reply, the Lions are 2/79, Shaun Foster out for 31, while Josh Dent is still at the crease on 33. McMannis and Chris Cleef were the wicket-takers. Main Ridge has set Pines a reasonable task after making 8/271 from its allotted 75 overs. Peter Mereszko was outstanding at the top of the order with 64, Gareth Wyatt backed up his 90-odd from the week before with 60, Brendan Rossborough had an impact with 49 and Travis Barker made 37. Brett Hudgson was the pick of the Pines bowlers with 4/86 from 24 overs, and Ricky Ramsdale claimed 2/54.

Hillmen and Islanders slug it out SUB-DISTRICT

Mornington Peninsula News Group PAGE 38

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 31 October 2012

By IT Gully THE match between Red Hill and French Island will go down to the wire after 15 wickets fell on the first day in the Sub-district round three match. The game was expected to be one-sided in favour of last year’s grand finalists, but the Islanders bowled well, dismissing the highly fancied visitors for 94 in 55.4 overs. Skipper Simon Dart, coming off a couple of tons, was the first man to go for 11. Only two other players, Riley Shaw (35) and Matthew Merrifield (21), reached double figures. Aaron King bowled 10 overs and snared 3/9, Ben King picked up 2/26, including the wicket of Dart, and Tom Sullivan snared 3/8 from 11 overs. Unfortunately for the Islanders, the batsmen could not emulate the bowlers’ good

work. At stumps on day one, the home side is 4/38. Dart has two wickets and caused a run-out, and Glenn Collett clean bowled Sullivan. Rosebud has set Skye a big run chase after scoring 218 from its 75 overs on Saturday. Openers Darren Kerr (36) and Greg McCann (64) got the visitors away to a great start before lower order players Danny Helybut (42) and Leslie Parslow (32) resurrected things after the middle order collapsed. After being 0/97, the Buds slipped to 6/133 at one point. Paul Fillipone was the best of the Skye bowlers with 4/49, and Phil Clinch and Ben Milano claimed three wickets each. Balnarring has set Dromana an unreachable total of 325 for victory. Jedd Savage and Zac Klan picked up two wickets each for the Hoppers.

Tyabb will have to be at its best with the ball to defend 166 against Seaford Tigers. Teenager Jordan Watters picked up three of the first five wickets for the Tigers, while Corey Hand took the other two. David James and Ash Mills were the other multiple wickettakers for the Tigers. Jarrod White top-scored for the Yabbies with 53, Ben Van Wees opened the innings with 30, Geoff Glaum scored 28 and Craig Conlan made 22. In reply, the Tigers are 1/14. In the final game, Pearcedale is in a strong position against Carrum Downs, despite falling just short of 200. The Panthers finished on 9/197, Lachlan Cross topscoring with 49, Brad Trotter making 33, Kaine Smith 27 and Warren TeGiffel 29.

Cream of Chantilly chases Cup repeat ABOUT an hour’s drive from Paris in the beautiful forests of Chantilly is one of the world’s most famous training centres. Winding through a canopy of trees are tranquil training tracks described as heaven for horses. Over the years the tracks have proven their worth where they count most, on the racecourse. The last two winners of the Melbourne Cup – Americain and Dunaden – are testimony to this and they will be right at the forefront of next Tuesday’s 152nd edition of the race that stops a nation. A magnificent specimen, Americain, who is trained by Alain de Royer Dupre, created a lasting impression with his cup win two years ago. After winning the Moonee Valley Cup last year, he was set a virtually impossible task by jockey Gerald Mosse when a fast-finishing fourth. He stamped his credentials for another victory when a courageous fourth behind Dunaden in the Caulfield Cup after racing wide throughout. Significantly he wasn’t as “trained up” as Dunaden and will be much tougher for Dunaden to beat at Flemington. Over the past 12 months Dunaden, who is in the care of former Alain de Royer Dupre assistant Mikel Delzangles, has done everything asked of him. He followed his Melbourne Cup victory with a win in the prestigious Hong Kong Cup and scored a devastating last to first win in the Caulfield Cup. This year de Royer Dupre, who is acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest trainers, is launching a twopronged attack with the rejuvenated Shahwardi. An impressive winner of the Herbert Power Handicap at Caulfield, Shahwardi has shown his ability and

stamina this year by finishing third in the Prix Kergorlay – a race that Americain and Dunaden came through on their way to Melbourne Cup success – as well as running second over 4300m at Royal Ascot. Another prospective challenger from Chantilly is the quality stayer Brigantin. Trained by Andre Fabre, who is renowned as the little genius, Brigantin missed the opportunity to qualify for the cup when he was outsprinted in the Geelong Cup last Wednesday. However, if he managed to secure a start he would be a serious contender. While France and Ireland have two Melbourne Cup victories to their credit and Japan has one, a Britishtrained stayer has yet to win. But Newmarket-based Luca Cumani is right in the running to remedy the situation with Mount Athos. Cumani, who just missed four years ago when Bauer was nosed out by Viewed, has brought Mount Athos with a perfectly timed preparation. Since being added to Cumani’s stable earlier this year, Mount Athos

has won at each of his three outings up to 2800m. What appeals most about the Montjeu six-year-old is he has tactical speed and can quicken, which is an important ingredient in the Melbourne Cup. Like Bauer, another British-trained horse, Red Cadeaux, came agonisingly close last year when beaten by a matter of centimetres. Taking a line through his success in the Yorkshire Cup and second in the time-honoured Coronation Cup at Epsom Downs, the signs are Red Cadeaux will be even better than 12 months ago. Once again Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin has two noteworthy entries – Lost In The Moment and Cavalryman. So far the operation has only managed two seconds and a third, but Lost In The Moment, who was sixth last year, and Cavalryman – a placegetter in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe – will carry the dark blue colours honourably. Canny Irishman Dermot Weld – a winner with Vintage Crop in 1993 and

Media Puzzle in 2002 – has prepared the lightly raced Galileo’s Choice with this race in mind. However, unlike earlier Weld visitors, Galileo’s Choice hasn’t travelled well and is causing some prerace concern. Like last year when the first seven horses home were imported, of which six were northern hemisphere-trained, overseas stayers are again expected to dominate. The brightest Australian prospects are Maluckyday and the Morningtontrained Ethiopia. After being runner-up to Americain, Maluckyday suffered a series of problems but recent efforts suggest he is back on track. The muddling pace was against him in the Geelong Cup but his closing sectionals were pleasing. The lightly raced Ethiopia was the Australian Derby winner at Randwick in the autumn and underlined his potential with a fighting fourth in the nation’s premier weight-for-age race at Moonee Valley last Saturday. However he has only had seven

starts and lack of experience could tell in the hustle and bustle over a demanding 3200m. Keys chance in other feature races at Flemington are: Derby – It’s a Dundeel, Honorius, Super Cool. Oaks – Dear Demi, Summerbliss, Zydeco. Coolmore – Sizzling, Snitzerland, Fire Thunderbolt. Mackinnon – Ocean Park, December Draw, Prairie Star. Myer Classic – Soft Sand, Streama, Secret Admirer.  International form expert Peter Ellis provides weekly racing tips online at the Tatts website.

How to win the snapper comp ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro ON Friday and Saturday many people will be venturing out onto our two bays hoping to bag a snapper in the 29th annual Tea Tree snapper fishing competition. Anglers from all over the state will converge on Port Phillip and Western Port seeking to become Victorian Amateur Snapper Fishing Champion. So where to fish? The competition is strictly for snapper caught in Port Phillip and Western Port. In Port Phillip, when the sun is up, look at fishing in 18-21 metres of water. If it’s night or the wind is blowing, try 8-16 metres of water. In Western Port, fish in 18-21 metres during the day or above shallow reefs in the evening or in the rough stuff. Some of my preferred hotspots in Port Phillip would include Ansetts, in 16 metres off Mt Eliza; Morrisons Reef off Mt Martha and in 21 metres of water off Carrum. In Western Port, try Lysaghts off Hastings, near Cowes, or Eagle and Crawfish rocks. Now for the rigs. I prefer a running sinker rig as this presents the bait in

the most natural way. My running sinker rig typically consists of 60lb crane swivel followed by 1-2 metres of 30-60lb fluorocarbon leader and two 4/0-6/0 chemically sharpened hooks in an octopus/suicide pattern. The size of the hooks is dictated by the size of baits you’re using. Now I’m different to most when it

comes to sinkers. In Port Phillip I use three different sized sinkers – a size 1 bomb on an ezy rig cast out the side of the boat into the current, a size 1 ball on a 45-degree angle in the stern and a size 0 or 00 cast directly into the burley. In Western Port I use an ezy rig to make sinker changes easier. I tie a 50-100cm dropper off the ezy rig and attach my sinker to this. Make sure your dropper is at least 20 per cent weaker than your main line. If the sinker gets snagged, you bust off your sinker not the main line. The boys at Peninsula Total Tackle (11 Boneo Rd, Rosebud, or call 5981 1994) have sent in a squid report. “It’s the time of the year when the southern end of Port Phillip has been seeing some big squid. Most of the action has been in the tidal areas around Queenscliff and Lonsdale Bight and if you can organise a session on the slack water, Point Lonsdale and Nepean Bay has been pretty good, too. “Fishos are using a variety of means from the old baited jigs through to standard artificial jigs. Gancraft has been popular this year and will no doubt continue to account for fish over the coming month.

“Snapper are clearly the other species on everyone’s mind. Most of the action is from a little further up the bay. The best catches have been off Mt Eliza in 16-18 metres of water although some fish have been coming from Mornington to Mt Martha. It still slow but will change in the next few weeks.” Mornington Boat Hire clients caught some lovely fish over the weekend with quite a few snapper to 4.5kg and one monster of 8kg. Best locations have been B buoy, Ansetts and C buoy. Pinkies are also in great numbers around the mussel farm. Flathead are in good numbers and squid and whiting have returned to Mornington and Mt Eliza area, with best results in 3-6metres of water. Fishing in the deep water and the channels of Port Phillip and Western Port has yielded some great school and gummy sharks of up to 25kg. The change of tide and fresh bait is best. Jonny of Yaringa Boat Hire reports snapper to 6kg from Lysaghts and up to 9kg at Joes Island, gummy sharks in the mouth of Watsons Inlet and Eagle Rock, and good numbers of whiting from Hastings all the way to Warneet. He said the top of the tide and ebb

tide had been best. Other fish boated last week included leatherjacket, flathead, pike, salmon, gurnard, mullet and mackerel. From Carrum the number one topic has been snapper with lots of fishos trying their luck. Many snapper to 8kg have been boated and some of the most popular locations have included in 11 metres of water off Seaford, 16m and 19m off Mt Eliza, 14m and 21m off Frankston and Carrum. The best results are coming from lightly weighted rigs fished in the burley trail.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He was introduced to the sport by his father. Tracker has boat hire businesses in Mornington and at Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for several magazines and now brings his knowledge to MP News Group papers for season 2012-13.
