Mt Eliza Village Magazine 2011

News from the Gouzlan Group Earlier this year in issue 21 of the Village Mt Eliza magazine I predicted that 2011 was shaping up to be a challenging one, with the challenge to beat our best sales record of 2010. So far we are on schedule to do exactly this, with the busiest months of trading in the year to come.

So the ‘fancy shop front and the bricks and mortar’ store is doing well without having to pass on an extra outrageous 50% or more cost onto our customers, as alleged by some online traders.

Gouzlan Group’s customers enjoy the friendly service and the ability to view the pieces, experiencing the look and the feel of the jewellery first hand in such beautiful surrounds. Our customers enjoy our good old fashioned service and reasonable prices.

On the 4th September 2011 my wife and I will be leaving Australia on a business trip to France, Egypt and Dubai, returning on 1st October 2011.

We are both looking forward to a nice break especially after my seed implant procedure in March this year. We will also expand our beautiful jewellery collection for all our customers to enjoy on our return.

Manyung turns it on this Spring The Mornington Peninsula has much to offer those that are travelling the tourist trail. Not only is there an abundance of wineries set amongst beautiful landscapes, the Peninsula has also gained a reputation as a destination brimming with creativity.

At the forefront of the local art scene is Manyung Gallery. As one of Australia’s oldest continuously operating commercial galleries and one of Victoria’s largest commercial art spaces, the gallery has become an icon on the peninsula.

Between 150 and 200 pieces are exhibited each month on a rotating basis, ensuring visitors to the ten ‘sub galleries’ and sculpture gardens are constantly engaged.

“The gallery site has a long local heritage, adding to the charm of the location”, says gallery Director, David Wemyss-Smith.

“Settled around the 1840s, the property is thought to have originally housed an old stock hut nestled between Mt Eliza’s Gunyong and Manmangah creeks. By about the 1920s the hut had been developed into a farmhouse, now part of the gallery and still shrouded to this day by the old oak trees planted in the 1850’s.”

In early 1968 the property caught the eye of Charles Dorning, General Manager of JC Williamson Theatre Productions.

“The house was run down, had broken windows and was hidden behind thickets of blackberry bushes,” continues David.

“Seeing potential in the property, a

6

group of Mt Eliza locals, lead by Betty Meagher, got together and restored the site, eventually opening it as a gallery with the first exhibition held on December 1st 1968.”

At the time Mt Eliza only had a few stores so it was a welcome addition to the small town, yet it was considered to be kitsch and out of place – after all, Tuscan style castles complete with a moat and drawbridge weren’t often seen in Mt Eliza.

“That was 43 years ago,” says David.

“Since then almost 50,000 artworks have been displayed at the premises and Manyung Gallery’s reputation is now based around its inspiring collection of affordable art.”

Each month the entire exhibition is rotated to display new works by artists from around Australia, with selections being made in response to community trends.

Throughout October Manyung Gallery will be hosting a “wearable” art exhibition featuring over 100 wearable artworks for men and women.

This novel concept will be held to coincide with the Spring racing season and appropriately features work by milliner Felicity Northeast. Those looking for the ideal accompaniment to their race outfit can contact the gallery to arrange a personal appointment with Felicity who will help them select the perfect hat.

On display will also be bathers and t-shirts

by Ralf Kempken, exquisite jewelry by duo

Issue 23 • September, October, November 2011

Jayen Pekel and Lauren Harris in addition to belts, bags, scarves, brooches and umbrellas by local and interstate artists.

An exciting addition to the exhibition is the inclusion of work by featured mosaic artist, Julee Latimer. Julee recently won third prize in the People’s Choice category in the annual Mosaic Association exhibition with her piece Arm Candy. This and other pieces of her unique sculptural mosaics will be on display for the month.

Feature artist for the month is Simonn Schumacher. On display will be her painting and drawings, inspired from all that she observes.

The exhibition will be launched on Friday 7th October will be a bow tie evening, and will run until 30th October.

Milestone for Mt Eliza Rotary The Rotary Club of Mt Eliza has been helping and inspiring communities since 1971.

Celebrating 40 years of service, the club continues to bring the distinguished reputation of the Rotary name to the community of Mt Eliza.

Rotary was established in Chicago as the world’s first service club in 1905 by Paul Harris who had the aim of replicating the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth. Meetings were held among members on a rotating basis and Rotary was born.

The initial premise for the club was to serve the professional and social interests of members. This concept quickly evolved to the Rotary we know today - a group of individuals who pool their resources and talents to serve communities in need. Their motto, “Service Above Self”, demonstrates the commitment to change each member embraces when joining the group.

In 1925, a mere 20 years after it was first established, Rotary boasted 200 clubs with more than 20,000 members. Over the years membership has boomed and Rotary now has more than 1.2 million members who belong to over 32,000 clubs in more than 200 countries.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mornington, the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza

12

Issue 23 • September, October, November 2011

was formed with the support of 22 members. The club’s foundation was built upon the premise of strong fellowship and a ‘hands on’ approach to projects as opposed to traditional fundraising.

This approach provided members with a balance of interesting projects and social events.

The Rotary Club of Mt Eliza now has over 50 members who each represent a cross section of business and professional services in society. Vocational service provides members with the opportunity to promote high ethical standards within their professions and the local community.

Soon after its establishment, members of the Mt Eliza chapter undertook their first projects. These involved reconstruction work at the George Vowell Centre for the Blind and raising funds for Pakistan’s refugees.

Over the years projects have evolved in response to society’s changing needs to address issues across the environment, illiteracy, world hunger and ‘at risk’ children. This can be seen in action on a community level through the numerous scholarships granted

by Mt Eliza Rotarians to assist young carers, Christmas hampers which have been created for the needy, the Heritage Garden built by local members and the Bowel Scan program which was implemented by the club.

On an international level Mt Eliza www.mtelizavillage.com.au

Rotarians have been dedicated to the fight against polio, natural disaster relief and providing interplast facial and reconstructive surgery to people in remote areas whose lives have been compromised through defects or accidents.

More than $850,000 has been raised over the 40 years since Mt Eliza Rotary was established. Events such as BBQs, race days, farmers markets, raffles and garage sales have also brought the community together and provided many fond memories. One such project was “T for Transport” which was carried out in 1998 by past President Carl Seales, whose life was significantly extended by a heart transplant. With the aim of promoting awareness of organ donorship and raising funds for the purchase of vital transplant equipment, Carl restored a T Model Ford van and drove around Victoria addressing 70 clubs over 11 weeks. The result was an increase in donorship registrations and enough funds to purchase much needed equipment for the Alfred Hospital.

Now it’s time to look to the future.

According to incoming President Linda Morris, “the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza will continue to do what it does best - serve the Mt Eliza community, support projects that improve community spaces, provide incentives and assistance to develop skills, and provide aid to those in need, both locally and internationally.”

Current projects include the development of a fitness trail that will be presented to the Mt Eliza community to commemorate Rotary’s milestone anniversary.

Internationally, Mt Eliza Rotarians are providing assistance to the maternity department of Kimbe Hospital in New Guinea.

“The Club is only able to engage in so many diverse projects because of the generosity of the Mt Eliza community. We greatly appreciate the tremendous support that we receive,” said Linda.

Kicking goals in soccer Mt. Eliza Soccer Club held their Annual Dinner Dance recently at Mornington Golf Club. Amongst the surprise special guests for the evening were Australia Football Federation Board Member & ex Socceroo goalkeeper Jack Reilly, Age sports correspondent/writer Michael Lynch & Melbourne Heart players, Brendan Hamill & Kliment Teseski.

Main sponsors for the evening were Mt. Eliza Community Bendigo Bank, Jack Rivers Shoes/accessories, Karalee fine foods & UK Jack. Mr. Paul Andrews & Marie Damonde from the Bendigo Bank presented the Club with a $1,000 cheque on the evening. Through Mt. Eliza’s strong links with Melbourne Heart they have secured a Big Event for Peninsula Soccer on Saturday September 24th when the Peninsula All Stars will take on the Heart in a game to be played at Lawton Park, Langwarrin at 3pm.

Founded in 2008, the Mt Eliza Soccer Club had a total of only 9 children forming one under 7’s team, the 2nd season they had grown to 56 players. Last year without any form of advertising there were 160 kids and in 2011 the club has grown to around 180 members aged from 4 to 10 year old.

They now have 11 teams competing in the Bayside League and 35 children attending a “littlies” clinic every Saturday morning, which is aimed at younger children under 6 years old and is centred around them

having fun and learning very basic soccer skills prior to playing games next season.

The club is currently situated at Mt Eliza Reserve (Howard Parker Reserve) on Canadian Bay Rd which was formerly a football oval.

Over the past 3 years the club has grown rapidly but at the same time has kept it a family friendly place, where children can

feel safe and happy, making new friends and enjoy the game of soccer.

The future plan is to continue from Under 10’s through all age groups.

They are a young and ambitious club with good management and staff with a great community spirit and support.

Without a travel agent you are on your own Trish Stamp Travel has made a big impression in Mt Eliza.

Preparing to celebrate 40 years in the travel industry, Trish launched her career in 1972 the old-fashioned way - stamping brochures and making coffee.

That soon led to making bookings on coaches to Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Australia-wide. Flights then were very expensive. “I gradually worked my way up to booking flights and hand-writing tickets, all so time consuming, but that is the way it was,” said Trish from her Mt Eliza office.

“We got information from printed timetables and picked up the phone to make the reservations.”

International flights had first class and economy and that was it. “Today, all flight bookings are computerized and the myriad of different fares with different airlines is amazing, along with cruises, around the Pacific and all the way to the UK and Europe.

18

“I have been lucky enough to experience all types of aircraft, airlines and classes, so can well advise on what best suits any need or budget. I have also been lucky enough to sit in the cockpit, several times, but of course that was pre-9/11.”

“An amazing experience was landing in Los Angeles when all we could see was fog, then the Hollywood sign appeared and the tops of buildings and the runway, phew, I was so relieved.”

“My crew have been everywhere; by land, sea and air and stayed in every form of accommodation imaginable – as singles, couples and families.

They have seen animals in their native Kenyan habitat, ballooned over the Masi Mara, watched a lioness snare a kill, viewed the Palace of the Lost City in South Africa, seen a glacier snap and boom into the water in Glacier Bay, travelled across the Rocky Mountains in a dome car and much more.

Peninsula Old Boy appointed to Executive Position at his old school In this, the 50th year since the foundation of The Peninsula School, it is particularly noteworthy that an Old Boy of the School, Mr Steven Wiltshire (Class of ’78), has been appointed to the executive position of Deputy Principal (Operations). The focus of this new position will be on student pastoral care, curriculum programs, teaching and learning, staff recruitment, deployment and development.

Steven is “Peninsula”, through and through, with his school days and much of his professional life having been spent at the School. He has held numerous senior positions including Head of Year, Head of Department and, most recently, Head of Middle School. His leadership in each of these roles has been apparent to all with whom he has worked.

The appointment of an Old Boy to this leadership position in the School’s Golden Jubilee year has been lauded by the School’s community, particularly the very active Alumni group TOPSA (The Old Peninsula Students’ Association), which congratulated Steven firsthand at their most recent meeting.

Meanwhile, long serving Deputy Principal, Mr Phil Doll, has accepted the challenge of heading up a new department at the School. In the exciting new role of Deputy Principal (Community Relations), Phil will focus on admissions, marketing, school development, customer service and brand management.

The Peninsula School has a proud reputation of offering a world class education right here on the Mornington Peninsula. The new look senior management structure will no doubt see the School go from strength to strength.

HYALURONIC ACID There are many different types of hyaluronic acid fillers these days, and while they all have the common building blocks which make up HA, there can be quite noticeable differences in the way they are constructed and the way they act in the body. Hyaluronic acid itself is a long chain sugar (to put it simply). It is safe and entirely biodegradable. That is its major advantage. The HA molecule can attract up to 1000 times its weight in water. In its natural form it must be stablised to make it last, this is achieved by crosslinking.

Some products also have a different concentrations of HA, but it is the cross linking which is more important. In Australia we have four major HA varieties.

In Europe there are over 50. In some notso-scrupulous countries there are ‘knock offs’. Injecting a ‘knock off’ filler is not the same as buying a fake Gucci Bag. Injecting something which has not been through the stringent TGA regulatory conditons is a recipe for disaster.

“We have seen recently a couple of cases in Australia where people have used unregulated, illegal, online purchased fillers and have come to grief.”

“If it sounds too cheap, it is too cheap and you should run for the hills.” Says Sue Verheyeh from Mt Eliza Beauty. “When researching for Botox and Fillers it is extremely important to search out a medical practitioner you can trust.”

Thalgo are launching their new hyaluronic moisturiser and serum in September together with their highly effective hyaluronic facial, a great advantage to those using fillers and very advantageous for those extremely dry skins. Speak to Mt. Eliza Beauty Therapy for more information.

As advised previously in earlier editorials, this is the same for IPL treatments.

Sue has recently returned from America for advanced IPL training and a skin ingredient technology course. The staff at Mt. Eliza Beauty Therapy will be introducing a new group of peels, just launched, with the latest in new peptide and stem cell technology by the end of September.

All the staff, and Sue recently attended the Australian Cosmedic and Beauty Therapy Conference in Sydney, advancing their knowledge in up to date technology continuing their advanced training.

The Yoga House expands to new horizons

Anna, from The Yoga House has been busy since the last edition of the Village Magazine.

“We have just participated in our first the Body Mind Spirit Festival at the Exhibition Centre over the Queens Birthday long weekend. It was busy, mad, colourful and exiting. We launched a new yoga clothing line and we had a great response.

People loved the colours, luxurious feel of the fabrics and the designs.” The new clothing line is specifically designed for practising yogis but it can be worn to many other types of sports, like running, gym or pilates. As a matter of fact, Anna has just returned from a trip to Denmark and she was overly surprised to find one of the passengers on the plane wearing her brand new yoga pants for the flight. “I couldn’t believe that we only just launched the range and I already saw someone wearing the clothes, it was a big thrill.”

The new clothing line is available at The Yoga House.

Anna has been slightly

frustrated that most of the yoga retreats offered in Australia are so far away.

“Byron Bay or Bali seem to be the preferred destinations for yoga retreats, but I think the Mornington Peninsula has so much to offer too. So I decided to organise a retreat in Red Hill. I wanted a place where people don’t have to travel for a whole day to get to their retreat destination. It is perfect for friends wanting a weekend away, couples looking for some quiet time, or people just keen to do some yoga, eat healthy food and enjoy the stunning surrounds. There are still places available for the retreat taking place on the 21/22/23 October 2011.

Contact Anna if you would like more details on the program.

Congratulations to yoga devotee Kirsten Naylor and partner David Furness on the safe arrival of their new baby boy, Oscar Thomas Furness. Kirsten’s photo is taken a week before she naturally gave birth to baby Oscar. “I believe that practising yoga before and during pregnancy greatly helped me to prepare my body and build my strength, says Kirsten.

work can often be slowed by a lack of physical capacity to return to pre injury duties. It is common to experience a loss in confidence with activities requiring strength or coordination of the affected limb/area and a loss of general fitness. Many injured workers can benefit from a period of physical conditioning or task retraining (such as manual handling) in order to return to work as early as possible. This can be made easier by taking away the financial burden and making a claim for compensation through WorkSafe.

Words from your Ward Councillor Leigh Eustace:

Issue 23 • September, October, November 2011

There has been many things occurring around the Mt Eliza Ward and I take this opportunity to relay some of these to you.

The Howard Parker Reserve Master Plan has been developed and has proceeded through the advertising stage with Heritage Victoria. Approval has been granted and the timing of works is currently being planned.

The Master Plan includes a walking track around the outside of the playing oval with the Mt Eliza Rotary Club installing exercise stations as part of their 2011 plans. The reserve will undergo many improvements including a new playground located further from the road and formalising the car parking layout. A tennis hit-up wall, golf practice net and an area for Pentaque pistes have been included in the plan.

Money has been set aside for the works from the previous Council budget and activity will soon commence to implement the Master Plan.

Many would have seen the new Ranelagh Estate signage in the area where the original Ranelagh gateway stood.

This signage is the first of several signs to promote the significance of the Ranelagh Estate and to implement the recommendations of the Council adopted Ranelagh Conservation Management Plan (CMP).

A team of Council Officers along with representation from the local community have been working through the issues raised in the CMP to implement which include greater community involvement including the recent distribution of the Ranelagh Newsletter, a long term Vegetation Management Plan, planning fact files and increasing knowledge of the Ranelagh Estate to professionals such as Planners, Building Consultants and Real Estate Agents.

Council is currently working through a revised Master Plan for the John Butler Reserve which does not include a skate park and to optimise car parking and the layout of the reserve.

Another exciting project currently being planned is the shared path between Baxter and Mornington along the railway alignment. www.mtelizavillage.com.au

Various alignment options are currently being assessed by Council. More to come on this subject.

The skate park design has been completed following several community consultation sessions and it is hoped to have the park built before the end of the year at the Emil Madsen Reserve.

The Emil Madsen Reserve has seen several improvement with the main oval surface being replaced with the low water consumption grasses and the new lighting being installed on the top oval as a joint project between the Junior Football Club and the Council.

The senior club have had to endure a tough year without their main oval but hopefully the benefits will be worth the pain.

Lastly, several new footpaths are currently being implemented around the town.

The eastern end of Canadian Bay Road is nearing completion and both Old Mornington Road, Humphries Road and Walkers Road are being planned.

The sealing of Cobb Road should proceed shortly following approval from VCAT. Councillor Leigh Eustace (Mt Eliza Ward), Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

Friendly folk at The Smile Place The Smile Place Mt Eliza is a friendly and relaxed dental clinic, situated at 1299 Nepean Highway opposite the BP service station. Expansion necessitated the move to the larger premises in February this year. The new location has ample parking at the rear of the cottage.

Rob and his associate, Dr Andre Schertel, have built reputations for being gentle and caring professionals. All the staff at the practice pride themselves on providing excellent patient service.

To keep up with demand The Smile Place Mt Eliza is pleased to welcome Dr Gilbert Ko. As well being an excellent dentist, he brings youth and enthusiasm into the practice. Oral health therapist and hygienist, Michelle Price is also new to the practice, although she has many years experience.

The ability to smile not only reflects a person’s inner happy feelings it also has an effect on those who see that smile. The old saying “smile and the world smiles with you” is so true. Think about the number of times a pleasant smile has made you feel better instantly.

PILATES and THE PELVIC FLOOR The Village Magazine spoke to Physiotherapist Jodie Furness from Peninsula Pilates Studio – Mt Eliza about Pilates and the pelvic floor.

The Village: What exactly is the ‘pelvic floor’?

Jodie Furness: The Pelvic floor is a layer of muscles – a little like a sling - that supports the bladder and bowel in men, and bladder, bowel and uterus in women. These muscles connect to the pubic bone plus Transversus abdominus in front and attach to the tailbone at the back. The Transversus Abdominus wraps around the tummy and forms attachments at the back onto the Lumbar spine. This corset of muscles forms ‘the core’, which provide stability to the spine.

Village Mag: Do only women have pelvic floor problems?

JF: No, pelvic floor weakness can be a problem for both men and women.

Village Mag: How does Pilates help the pelvic floor?

JF: Pilates incorporates exercises that activate and strengthen the pelvic floor. When we teach Pilates, we use the pelvic floor to initiate the contraction of the deep core muscles. You also get an excellent abdominal workout.

Village Mag: Is Pilates expensive?

JF: No, Peninsula Pilates Studio – Mt Eliza offer a range of Pilates exercises classes and programs to suit any budget, including one-on-one Pilates instruction, small group and mat classes. Pilates with a physiotherapist is claimable against your private health cover extras.

Peninsula Pilates Studios operates from Mt Eliza, Mornington, Rosebud and Langwarrin.

For further information, visit the Mt Eliza studio at Suite 10 (upstairs) Ranelagh Arcade, 20-22 Ranelagh Drive, Mt Eliza.

History on our doorstep - the Mt Eliza Centre Occupying a prime piece of beachfront real estate at the bottom of Jacksons Road is Peninsula Health’s Mt Eliza Centre.

It is a property with an interesting history and one that has undergone many transformations as it has moved from a functional space for patient care to the administrative hub we know today.

The site was first earmarked in the 1920s as the perfect location for the development of the new orthopaedic section of the Royal Children’s Hospital which was being built to treat tuberculosis and polio.

At the time Sir Henry Gavain, a leading practitioner of heliotherapy in Britain and an integral influence in the design of the hospital, believed the key elements for the treatment of these ailments were sunlight, fresh air and prolonged rest. Therefore under his vision such a hospital needed to be remote from towns, away from outside visitors, have access to an extensive sandy beach and have a wide tidal excursion.

The site at Jacksons Road was perfect.

The first patients were transferred for treatment in March 1930. At the time the hospital was a pavilion style building featuring four open wards. The design was in line with the innovative ‘vis medicatrix naturae’ approach, meaning wards had a constant flow of air, wide adjoining balconies enabled sunshine to fall on

32

patients and every ward had uninterrupted views of the bay. The hospital also featured a schoolroom, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, an operation theatre and a pharmacy. The 1930 annual report of the Children’s Hospital stated: “Visits made to this hospital by eminent orthopaedic surgeons both from Commonwealth and other countries have brought glowing tributes generally. The hospital is at least equal to any abroad.”

Financial pressures resulting from the Depression of the 1930s meant that the hospital opened with a mere 40 beds, severely limiting patient access. A public appeal in mid 1932 raised £12,000 allowing the addition of 12 beds. By 1934 this number had risen to 89 and by the time the hospital closed in the 1950s

Issue 23 • September, October, November 2011

there were 120 beds.

Given the limited access to these world-class facilities, it was inevitable there would be a level of discontent and competition surrounding patient intakes. The hospital was accused of only accepting impoverished public patients, whilst well off families were being denied access. Unfortunately due to their poor backgrounds, many of the patients who were accepted were already in an advanced state of illness.

In the early 1930s nearly half of the patients at the Mt Eliza Centre suffered from bone and joint tuberculosis, a quarter had osteomyelitis and the rest were being treated for a variety of other conditions.

More than 80 per cent of patients were admitted for a year or longer. www.mtelizavillage.com.au

By 1935 poliomyelitis was on the rise and began to make up 20 per cent of patient intakes.

An anti tuberculosis drug and a vaccine against polio were both developed in the 1950s, dramatically reducing incidents of both illnesses. As a result the average stay at the hospital dropped from one year to less then one month.

As patient numbers reduced the need for such hospitals declined. After 40 years in operation the orthopaedic section was finally closed in 1973. The government developed the property into an aged care facility until 2007 when Peninsula Health opened its new Mornington centre.

The site now acts as the administrative hub for Peninsula Health. There are on site training facilities including a simulation centre where doctors and nurses have the opportunity to practice on computerised mannequins. A number of health services are also operated out of the site including the call centre for Victoria’s largest personal alarm service MEPACS, and the Mt Eliza Aged Care Assessment Service.

33rd Annual Mt Eliza Art Exhibition One of Australia’s most loved singer and songwriters, James Reyne, and talented local artist Lisa Cox are just two of the highlights of this year’s Mt Eliza Art Exhibition, which runs 21-23 October.

Reyne, who led the seminal Australian Crawl to the top of the Australian music scene in 1978 and followed this with a platinum-lined solo career, has provided the lyrics for the exhibition’s Bringing Words to Life competition. Artists are invited to submit a painting based on their interpretation of a stanza from Reyne’s song “I’m a Bug” and the winning entry will be awarded on the opening evening.

This year’s feature artist, Lisa Cox, is another local whose ingenious use of mixed media and figurative, naïve style is highly acclaimed. For a chance to win one of Lisa’s paintings, valued at $1850 (pictured), purchase your raffle tickets from Mt Eliza North Primary School prior to or during the weekend of the exhibition or from Dromana Estate’s Cellar Door.

Opening night features an auction, conducted by hockingstuart Real Estate, of fine items such as hand crafted jewellery and sculpture, and is expected to attract up to 500 guests. Gala patrons will have first opportunity to view and purchase from the diverse range of traditional and contemporary artwork, sculpture and jewellery on display whilst enjoying live music. Guests will be treated to gourmet canapés and finger food, freshly prepared and cooked by Dromana Estate’s chef plus enjoy a selection of fine wines generously donated by Dromana Estate.

Admission is $30 pre-paid or $35 on the night (if available.

Tickets are limited).

Hosted by Mt Eliza North Primary School in Moseley Drive, Mt Eliza, the Exhibition opens Friday October 21 at 7.30pm, 10am-5pm Saturday October 22 and 10am-4pm Sunday October 23, and is proudly sponsored by Big Bang Media, Barloworld Mercedes Benz, Vision Finance Australia and partnered by hockingstuart Real Estate and Dromana Estate. Adult entry is $5 and children are free when accompanied by a paying adult over the weekend.

Local author of 3 books Romance author Joan Kilby likes to set her stories close to home.

Mt Eliza is the thinly disguised fictional town of Summerside, the backdrop for her recent trilogy: Her Great Expectations, In His Good Hands, and Two Against The Odds. “l wrote about what I knew,” Joan says. “I had fun figuring out which part of town my characters lived in and having them shop in familiar shops. I don’t use names of real businesses as my publisher recommends against it, but readers will recognise many local landmarks. Here and there, l’ve taken poetic licence and changed things a little to suit the needs of the story. My characters are all fictional.”

Originally from Canada, Joan and her family moved to Australia seventeen years ago and they’ve lived in Mt Eliza for the past ten years. Joan loves the proximity to the beach and the friendly village atmosphere. She and her Jack Russell terrier, Toby, are frequently seen walking in the town’s quiet leafy streets. Toby, alias ”Smedley” has a featured role in the first book of the series.

Joan is contracted by Harlequin to write three more novels set in “Summerside.”

Protecting Her Son will be released in April 2012 in America and a month or so later in Australia.

Joan will be speaking about her books and writing at Mornington Library on October 25th at 7 pm. The event is free but bookings are required. Visit her website at www.joankilby.com.

5 stunning gardens Gardening is one of Australia’s most popular pastimes so pottering around the well-tended properties of other garden lovers can be a great way to spend a weekend.

This Spring, visitors to the Mornington Peninsula are lucky to have the opportunity to spend time in some of the region’s most beautiful gardens as part of 5 Gardeners’ Gardens.

The open garden initiative is organised by five friends - all amateur gardeners, all dedicated to sharing the joys of the outdoors with the local community. Each garden is carefully prepared over a 12 month period and is specifically designed to create an exceptional experience.

40

Varying in size, scope and variety, each one provides inspiration for any true garden lover.

According to local gardener Carolyn Such, Peninsula residents are interested in gardens that are not overly contrived. She believes visitors will be interested to see how these gardens have adapted and developed in response to local environmental factors.

“Spring is such a fabulous time of year for gardens and with the recent weather conditions things are coming up that we haven’t seen for some time.”

Visitors to the gardens will be provided notes describing how the garden has been developed and the gardeners will be on hand to answer any questions.

The family friendly open weekend will also feature a sausage sizzle, produce stalls, face painting, plant and gift stalls, amongst many other fun activities.

50 Old Mornington Rd, Mt Eliza An on going labour of love, this garden combines ornamental plants with well positioned trees to accentuate the property’s features.

2 Penny Lane, Mt Eliza A charming cottage style garden featuring roses, box hedges and a mini rain forest made of ferns.

57 Fulton Rd, Mt Eliza Originally part farm and woodland, this garden incorporates sustainable practices such as composting, water tanks and a flourishing vegetable garden.

15 Batman Ave, Mt Eliza Designed as a haven of delight, this smaller style garden situated on a gently sloping block, uses colour and circular garden beds to create a feeling of space and light.

313 Coolart Rd, Tyabb With a focus on trees, bulbs and other hardy plants, this garden has the ability to survive lack of water and other hash elements.

In contrast and of particular interest are the 300 roses and 200 salvias that survive only on rainwater.

All proceeds raised will be donated to support the Anglican Parish of Mt Eliza Pioneer Hall Redevelopment Appeal.

Cost: $5 for one garden or $20 for a five garden pass. Children free.

The Mt Eliza Skate Park has finally found a home.

Mt Eliza skaters have been waiting for a skate park since 1982 but finding the ideal site involved a series of false starts.

The location of where to place a skate park in Mt Eliza was a topic that created great debate and one in which EVERYONE had an opinion. It was discussed at cafe’s, supermarkets, on street corners and even at the Mt Eliza Newsagency.

The most controversial site – John Butler Reserve – provoked outrage from locals concerned about losing valuable carparking space at the back of the shops.

The John Butler Reserve proposal also offended those who didn’t want to be confronted by a concrete jungle as they arrived in the village to shop.

Many were concerned that choosing John Butler Reserve for a skate park would attract undesirable youths and erode the tranquility of the village atmosphere.

Mt Eliza resident and skate park supporter, Greg Leech, who had backed John Butler Reserve as the preferred site, claimed some locals wanted the skate park out of town because they had “forgotten what it was like to be young”.

Other sites mooted were the Mt Eliza Community Centre and Rotary Park.

Cr Leigh Eustace, who represents the Mt Eliza ward, was swamped with calls, emails, letters and opinions.

Cr Eustace, who’s relieved the skate park has been resolved, said the issue had been the subject of controversy for many years.

Issue 23 • September, October, November 2011

Finally, and after taking into consideration all views, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has made a decision.

The Emil Madsen Reserve, located well out of the village on Wooralla Drive, is the chosen site.

It’s fair to say that the majority of Mt Eliza residents are happy with the location.

Australia’s first professional skater and former Australian champion, Rob Francis, is pleased with the Council’s decision in choosing Emil Madsen Reserve.

“As a parent and skater that has been campaigning for the skate park for the past 11 years, I am very pleased with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision to locate the skate park at Emil Madsen Reserve,” he said.

Rob says because “the reserve is larger than other sites closer to the Village it has enabled a better skate park design that will cater for a greater cross section of our community and encourage family participation.”

Rob, who’s also a Mt Eliza resident, says the location meets the criteria set out in the government’s Skate Park Guide with regard to the distance from built up residential areas.

He says the site also allows for a possible extension in the future. The skate park is due to be built in late 2011 or early 2012.

There are also plans to improve the footpath from Mt Eliza Village along Wooralla Drive to the skate park.

HUNGRY FOR LIFE

Guy Mirabella is a man of recipes, passion and rich Sicilian heritage. A generosity of spirit and a love for the finer things in life are captured through his cooking and writing. Guy’s books Eat Ate, Pasta e Basta and Mirabella Food celebrate this signature passion through food, colour, produce and flavour, and his latest book Hungry continues the tradition.

Guy and his three siblings were raised on a small farm situated on the Mornington Peninsula. Surrounded by geese, ducks, chooks, cows, horses, pigs and dogs, the family grew their own fruit and vegetables

48

and lived in their own idyllic version of Little Italy.

“My maternal grandparents were shepherds in Sicily. Mum left the island when she was 19 to come to Australia to marry my father; they had been sweethearts since she was 11 and he was 13. Mum never saw her parents again,” says Guy. “Dad’s parents grew up, met and married in New York. They returned to their family home, Calatafimi in Sicily, with their first two children. The others were born in the village.”

Both Guy’s mother and father lived according to their Sicilian upbringing, instilling traditions from their homeland into their children whilst simultaneously building new memories over the table and in the kitchen of their wooden slatted farmhouse. Whilst other children took ham and cheese sandwiches to school, the Mirabella children would take fried onion and red capsicum sandwiches. Every meal was a celebration of good health and good eating, resulting in an appreciation for fine food that Guy now passes onto his own children.

Guy is not a trained chef. Most of his working life has been spent in the corporate world as an author and book designer. Work experience at a design school led to employment with various publishers where he collaborated on many projects, including cookbooks. For 25 years, Guy applied his flair for food and life to book design, winning many awards in doing so. Eventually, Guy decided to try something different. This led to the opening of The Backyard restaurant in

Issue 23 • September, October, November 2011

Mornington and eventually to his current business, Shop Ate Café and Store.

“Books were good, but for me it all starts with food,” says Guy. “Food is a way of bringing people together - it’s a great leveller to get people to share their experiences, their love and to break down barriers.”

Hungry is Guy’s newest project and a contemporary take on Italian homestyle food. The recipes are inspired yet simple recreations of meals he makes for his family at home and his family of customers at Shop Ate. The savoury section features such delights as the broad bean, zucchini, fior de latte and mint fresh salad. More substantial dishes include the stuffed squid bursting with chorizo, quinoa and spices. Then there are sweets including favourites such as the ’35 years of carrot cake’, cobbled together from Guy’s fragmented memories of a carrot cake recipe that appeared in a wedding gift received 35 years before.

Scattered between recipes are collages of Guy’s favourite things – illustrations, photos, postcards, books, mementos and personal stories. It is a cookbook with a difference, infused with the Mirabella style, and one that will inspire and should be savoured.

“The title, Hungry, is a metaphor for living,” says Guy. “Life, food, your environment, your story – they are all there to be embraced.”

Our sister magazine Mornington Life has 5 copies of Hungry to give away.

The many lives of Moondah Once the homestead and playground of Mornington Peninsula’s elite, Moondah has a long and rich history leading to its present incarnation as the Australian Administrative Staff College.

The story begins in 1839 with the arrival of some of Melbourne’s first settlers.

Permanent migration to the Mornington Peninsula began in the 1840s with the arrival of the Reids, Merricks, McCraes and Grices, amongst other families.

Richard Grice arrived in Australia from Cumbria, England, and settled in Bendigo where he worked as a farmer until moving to Melbourne to become a merchant. Grice established a successful import / export agency and married Anne Hibertson – a union that produced 12 children. The family moved to Mornington in the late 1860s, purchasing land between Gunyong and Manmangah creeks in Mt Eliza. It was here that the pair built their home, Manyung – a hybrid name derived from the neighboring two creeks.

In 1888 the Grice’s eldest surviving son, James, purchased the adjoining 101 hectares to the north of Manyung and built a 42 room Victorian residence against the backdrop of Port Phillip Bay. Renamed Moondah, the property boasted impressive gardens, a vineyard, a golf course, tennis court, croquet green and polo field. James and his wife hosted elaborate social events for business associates and members of the racing fraternity and the property soon

54

Issue 23 • September, October, November 2011

became the centre of social life on the Mornington Peninsula.

The 1930s heralded a change in fortune for the Grice family. James Grice passed away in 1933, the depression years brought a decline to family business interests and the decadent lifestyle at Moondah soon followed suit. The mansion became increasingly difficult to maintain and was eventually vacated in 1947 by James’ two bachelor sons, Richard and Geoffrey.

Seeing development potential, Ansett Industries purchased the property with the aim of converting it to a hotel. Given the advanced state of deterioration, architects advised the property be demolished.

The proposal was rejected by Ansett and extensive restoration work commenced.

Ceilings and windows were replaced, rooms were remodelled and extensions www.mtelizavillage.com.au

were made to meet Ansett’s vision. Hotel Manyung was licensed in 1950 and began operation as the Peninsula’s finest hotel.

Patrons would travel from Melbourne by paddle steamers and disembark at the Mornington Pier. In 1957 Hotel Manyung was sold to the Council of the Australian Administrative Staff College for £250,000.

The College was modeled upon the success of the Administrative Staff College at Henley-On-Thames in England and was aimed to fill a void in the Australian business sector. It is now Australia’s oldest and busiest institution for post-experience training of middle to senior levels of managers in business, government and beyond.

Since its acquisition in 1957, the building has undergone a range of alterations to accommodate the varying needs of the institution. Contemporary in concept, all changes have been designed to maintain the building’s heritage and the Italian Renaissance style of the building.

The entrance hall remains much the same as when James and Annie Grice greeted their guests back in the 1800s. The area that once housed coaches is now home to Find us on Facebook MtEliza VillageMagazine

the boiler room, gymnasium and sauna. The furniture also has an interesting history. The suite was shipped to the Paris Exposition of 1889 and therefore offered for sale, but it was unsold and eventually bought by Mr Grice. The sideboard is now displayed centrally along the north wall of the hall.

The remainder of the suite is in use in the Principal’s residence.

The present day College is approached through a gatehouse which was built in Gothic revival architecture circa 1901 and has now received National Trust citation. The structure replicates the Old Government House gate lodge in Sydney’s Parramatta Park and comprises a twostorey central section over an arched gateway above which is an oriel and castellated turret with an internal stairway.

Once closed to traffic, the wrought iron gates now remain open.

From the gatehouse Moondah is obscured by 90-year-old pine and cypress trees which majestically line the drive. Planted by the Grices as a windbreak, they lead the way to sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay – the same view enjoyed by the Grices back in the 1860s. ph: 9708 8222

Ranelagh rev’s up

A new team with sparkling ideas and a fresh format has assumed management of the catering at The Ranelagh Club in Mt Eliza.

Located high on the ‘mountain top’, club members and their guests are treated to an exclusive, waterfront dining room and alfresco deck with one of the peninsula’s best panoramic bay views.

Much experienced and well know from both Beaches and Harba in Mornington, restaurateur John Crossin is joined by skilled front-of-house manager and event co-ordinator Lisa Wehrle, who is already well known to club diners.

Head chef Aaron Drew is ably assisted by Thai chef Roong Saisombat-Holtz.

The broad menu is typically Aussie and features lots of seafood, including Port Phillip flathead tails and chilled oysters topped with fig jam. Quality Angus steaks include eye fillet (pictured) served on creamed potato galette with an olive tapenade, slow roasted capsicum and a rich red wine jus. The stuffed chicken breast is well liked and a range of gourmet pastas varies with the seasons.

The Caesar salad (pictured) has a modern twist, combining crisp cos lettuce, prosciutto, shaved parmesan, poached chicken and a soft-poached egg, all splashed with tangy anchovy dressing.

Cabaret tribute shows featuring talented mimics are also a new feature. Hilarious 60s style girl trio The She Laa’s (pictured left) will perform Motown hits and more on Saturday, September 17. ‘Robbie Williams’ is onstage on Friday, September 30 and a Dusty Springfield-Connie Francis dinner show is on October 22.

Menu expands at Oyama24 Megumi Japanese Restaurant in Frankston has been a most popular eatery since 1987. Owner Yasu Oyama spread the successful style to Mt Eliza, opening Oyama24 in 2009. Yasu loves traditional, hand-made Japanese cuisine.

In Japan, many Aussies adore eating Ramen, a popular noodle dish. Chukamen noodles are made with wheat flour in kansui, an alkaline stock, and come in many regional varieties. The boiled noodles are served variously flavoured, with many toppings.

Making a delicious ramen is not easy.

They differ in broth, flavour, toppings, noodle texture and more. The taste depends mainly on the soup, and requires skillful preparation. Ramen chefs train for many years and each Ramen eatery has its own style and secrets.

Pork and chicken bones, dried sardines, and/or kombu are used to make the stock.

Vegetables such as ginger, negi onion, garlic and mushrooms are also added.

Categorized by flavour, there are four kinds Find us on Facebook MtEliza VillageMagazine

of Ramen: shio(salt flavored), shoyu(soy sauce flavored), tonkotsu(creamy, pork bone based) and miso. Common toppings include seasoned bamboo shoots, dried seaweed and boiled egg.

Oyama24 now offers house-made Ramen; a creamy, noodle miso with kakuni pork or chicken tatsuta.

Bento, or ‘packed lunches’ is also a specialty which can be traced back as far as the fifth century, when Japanese leaving their homes to till fields, hunt, fish, or even wage war carried food to eat on the go.

Bento usually consists of 4-6 basic sections or courses. Light appetizers, seasonal hor d’oeuvres such as meats, vegies and seafood, raw fish/sashimi and a main course of stew, grilled meats or tempura. Rice is always served piping hot and usually includes some sort of pickle.

Now fully licensed, Oyama24 is located at 75 Canadian Bay Rd, Mt Eliza and offers eat in; take away, home-delivery & catering. Ph: 9708 8224. ph: 9708 8222

Brian McFadden, Stevie Nicks & Dave Stewart in town McManus Entertainment is thrilled to announce that Brian McFadden will be joining the legendary Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart as a special guest for the 2011 Australian tour which includes Mornington Racecourse on Sunday November 20th. Celebrated musician and songwriter Dave Stewart from Eurythmics will also be touring for this show.

Brian McFadden has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. The tour coincides with the release of Brian McFadden’s new album in October before heading out on the road with Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart.

Fans of both Fleetwood Mac and Eurythmics will be thrilled to know that Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart will be performing their greatest hits from their respective bands as well as highlights from their solo careers.

Stevie will also be playing songs from Fleetwood Mac’s extensive back catalogue. Some of their most loved songs include

Rhiannon, Gypsy, Sara, Landslide, Dreams and Seven Wonders.

Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 Grammy Award winning Album of the Year, Rumours, stands as one of the greatest albums ever made.

It has sold more than one million copies in Australia. The songs have stood the test of time and Rumours recently had a revival when it was introduced to a whole new generation of fans, thanks to a recent episode of Glee dedicated to this classic album.

Following the episode, Rumours returned to the Australian charts at number two.

As well as Brian McFadden, Dave Stewart will also join Stevie Nicks on this tour. Dave is best known for his work with Eurythmics and recently co-produced and co-wrote many of the songs on Stevie’s latest album, In Your Dreams. Dave Stewart’s music career spans three decades. Some of Dave’s biggest hits include I Only Want To Be With You (The Tourists) and Eurythmics hits Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This), Missionary Man, Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves, Would I Lie To You? and Thorn In My Side.
