By Mike HastTHE $450,000 “bus interchange” pro-ject in Barkly St, Mornington, has stalled with the shire council preparing another report about its preferred location.

The delay comes after traders in the precinct strongly objected to Morn-ington Peninsula Shire’s preferred location of bus stops on either side of Barkly St between Main St and Eastern Ring Rd.

The main objections are the closing of Blamey Place where it meets Barkly St, expected traffi c congestion, build-ing owners being forced to remove verandahs to make way for indented bus bays and diesel fumes from wait-ing buses.

Money for the so-called interchange, which is little more than bus stops on either side of Barkly St, was allocated by the state government in its budget last year.

A report about the closure of Blamey Place, necessary for the interchange to work effectively, was withdrawn from the council meeting on Monday 26 March.

Mornington Ward councillor Bev Colomb told The News that she and Mornington MP David Morris “wanted to explore all options” about the inter-change location.“It’s important we think clearly

about what we need for the future,” she said on Wednesday.

Mr Morris was instrumental in get-ting the government money for the shire and announced it last May.

The money was supposed to have been used by the end of June at the Barkly St site, option 1, but Cr Colomb said she had been assured by Mr Mor-ris that the $450,000 could be used at another location and did not have to be spent by the end of this fi nancial year.

Two other options are being consid-ered by the shire – on Barkly St be-tween Octavia St and Waterloo Place, which would cost between $500,000 and $700,000, and in the car park at the same location, which would cost $2 million.The shire would have to make up

the difference between the government grant and the fi nal cost.The shire says it would need to en-

large the Main St-Barkly St rounda-bout to enable buses to use the second and third options. Option 3 would also see the loss of parking spaces, which is not supported by Cr Colomb.

Shire offi cers favour option 1. Coun-cillors asked for a new report earlier this year following submissions by Barkly St traders Heinz Minzenmay and Michael King, who were repre-senting other traders near the proposed interchange.They suggested the interchange be

moved to between Octavia St and Wa-terloo Place, near Beaches restaurant,

which was where the bus stop was about fi ve years ago.Ross Gregory, of the shire’s infra-

structure planning and policy section, told councillors comments had been sought from the Department of Trans-port and the relevant bus companies on the alternative options.“Generally, they do not support …

the alternative options,” he stated.“The primary objective of the bus

interchange is to make bus travel as simple and convenient as possible for all bus users and to encourage greater public transport use. On this assess-ment, Option 1 is clearly the best op-tion to locate the Mornington bus in-terchange.

Green waste to go Green waste to go

By Mike HastABOUT 250 trees were blown down or damaged in Mornington and Mt Martha on Good Friday.

It will take shire contractors until today (Thursday) to clean up the dam-age, says the shire’s maintenance team leader Greg Powell.

Mr Powell was responding to ques-tion from The News after Mornington businessman and former chamber of commerce head Scott Crowe said he was disappointed a fallen tree outside the historic court house had taken six days to remove.

“It’s not a good look,” Mr Crowe said. “We had thousands of visitors over the Easter long weekend and some must think this is a neglected town.

“It beggars belief that it can take three weeks to clean up after what was certainly not the biggest storm we’ve had in recent times.”

He said the tree was not taped off.Mr Powell said the removal of trees

was prioritised “from a risk point of view”.

“We had our after-hours crew re-spond to the emergency jobs, but did not have our full crews available until the Tuesday after Easter Monday holi-day,” he said.

Mr Powell said the courthouse tree was removed fi rst thing Thursday. “We were notifi ed about that tree on Easter Monday.”

Fallen trees and lopped branches were chipped for use at shire gardens, by residents, schools and Parks Vic-toria. Logs were cut into manageable chunks and left for residents to take for fi res.

Storm over clean-up delayStorm over clean-up delay

Mr Powell said this was standard practice. “Some people have a good radar and know when the logs are ready to collect. I’d say the longest a pile of fi rewood was left uncollected was about four hours.”

He said the shire’s tree removal teams deal with about 18,000 fallen trees each year.

Mr Crowe also complained about the length of time the shire takes to re-move other damaged items, including a bollard in front of the football disas-

ter memorial at the bottom of Main St and a wrecked picnic table on Mothers Beach.

“The bollard took 10 days to be replaced and the picnic table took weeks,” he said.

He was also concerned about the closure of two toilet blocks on Mills Beach.

“The toilet block near Tanti Creek, which is most used as it is near the car parks, was closed for repainting in February. It would be better to close

public toilets during winter,” he said.“The toilet block up the other end,

Mills Beach East, was closed in March. The shire told me a sewer pump needs to be replaced and it will not reopen until late April or early May.

“There’s no blame here as a broken pump is just bad luck.”

Blocked: It was fi ve days before shire contractors removed a tree that fell across the footpath near the old courthouse on corner of the Esplanade and Main St, Mornington.

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

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

Double Glazing

By Keith PlattPEOPLE may choose to be carni-vores, herbivores or both. Now, ac cording to a book highlighting eating delights on the Mornington Peninsula, they can also be loca-vores – someone who eats locally.

The Field Guide to Victorian Produce promotes itself as “the fi rst comprehensive guide to Vic-toria’s regional produce and the people that grow, make and sell it”.

It’s made so locavores can easily identify and choose where to eat.

The guide breaks the state into regions: the Mornington Penin-sula, Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges; Melbourne; Gippsland and Phillip Island; Goldfi elds; Murray Region; Grampians; High Country; Great Ocean Rd; and the Yarra Val-ley/Dandenong Ranges.

The peninsula section includes an interview with Stuart Bell of Ten Minutes By Tractor, the Main Ridge winery that sources grapes from several vineyards while also running a restaurant.

Mr Bell emphasises the use of locally sourced products as ingre-dients for menu items.

He says this is a “hot topic” for diners and sees life on the land as “heading into more organic and sustainable farming techniques with a focus on growing heirloom varieties”.

Mr Bell’s “must have” experi-ences offered by the peninsula are tasting wines at cellar doors, going to Mornington’s Wednesday mar-ket or the one at Red Hill (the fi rst Saturday of each month) and visit-

ing Heronswood historic house and garden at Dromana.

Public relations consultant Mia Cochrane said the $40 guide “aims to inspire Victorians, interstate and international visitors to look locally and to think seasonally so that they can discover the wealth of produce that Victoria has to offer”.

“It also aims to increase the capa-bility of small independent produc-ers and regional food organisations to reach their potential, growing and diversifying the local food economy.”

The Field Guide to Victorian Produce lists details of 300 Victo-rian growers, producers and pro-viders, which were researched and selected by an editorial team under the direction of Ewan McEoin who has run such festivals as the Vic-

torian State of Design Festival in 2008-09.

The guide will be reprinted and updated every year, and there are plans to launch a similar publica-tion in each state.

Mr McEoin published the Mel-bourne Design Guide and came up with the idea for a guide to eat-ing out last year after running the Open IDEO Challenge on the future of the Australian food sector for the 2011 Ideas Festival.

“The challenge was meant to end with the best three or four projects being seed funded by the Queens-land government. With the fl oods at that time wrecking havoc all over Queensland, this was just not pos-sible from a budget point of view,” Mr McEoin said.

“We were left in a position where we had brought together industry, talked the talk and now someone had to walk the walk.

“I believe that content, informa-tion and strong visual communica-tions can create change and move-ment in the marketplace. I was also surprised – amazed even – that there was so little accessible infor-mation about regional producers.

“Most of them were terrible web-sites that make everyone pay to be listed or piecemeal gourmet tours on tourism websites.

“As no one pays to be listed [in the guide] it is egalitarian and an ethical and socially conscious busi-ness, remaining independent and maintaining a reputation for sup-porting the people who produce our food.”

Guide to eating ‘locally’ Poster promotionMORNINGTON Peninsula residents under 21 are being urged to show what Australia Day means to them in a poster.

The winning entry will be used to promote the shire’s 2013 Australia Day events.

The mayor Cr Frank Martin said the Australia Day committee was providing an opportunity “for local residents to get involved and show off their creative talents by entering the design a poster competition”.

“Entries may refl ect the history of Australia Day, or key achievements on the peninsula. There is a wealth of creativity in our local community so we expect some fantastic poster entries,” he said.

Posters can be painted, drawn, pho-tographed or computer generated.

The main prize is a $500 bank ac-count and $750 cash. Three runners-up will receive $250 bank accounts.

For details of the poster competi-tion visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au under the events section or call 5950 1764. Entries close 5pm Friday 15 June.

Film and fareA DRINK, fi sh and chips and an ice cream are on the bill before the fea-ture at a fi lm night being organised by Nepean Friends of Hospice.

The “fi lm and fi sh night” will show The Way, with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez.

The event starts at 6 on Thursday 10 May at the Athenaeum Cinema, Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento, and costs $35 a person. For bookings call Jan Biggs on 5984 4704.

By Keith PlattSCIENTIST Chris McEvoy hasn’t sat back to relish the success of a business based on a timber preserving product used in power poles throughout Aus-tralia. He has since developed a verti-cally integrated timber operation, from plantations and milling to marketing products. Now, he has helped build a luxury resort in Lesotho, southern Africa, which is helping to fi nance schools and community centres for surrounding villages.

Each of the seven million timber poles carrying power and communica-tions lines throughout Australia have a limited life span: they rot and are ex-pensive to replace

There are drawbacks to replacing them with concrete poles or running the cables underground. Cost is a sig-nifi cant factor.

More than two decades ago Chris McEvoy and his friend and work col-league Chen-Woo Chin recognised that timber poles were here to stay and that there was money to be made by anyone who could stop the rot and pro-long their usefulness.

The entrepreneurial scientists were working for the CSIRO at Highett re-searching timber preservation when they decided to take a chance to profi t from their fi ndings. The research was not quite fi nished, but they did a deal with the CSIRO, which allowed them to start a private company and hire their former employer to complete refi ning and proving the product in re-turn for fi ve years’ royalties once it hit the market.

The rest is history: the two partners invented a relatively benign substance that can be placed in a hole drilled into the poles. The “stick” resembles a piece of chalk and the chemicals are only activated when the moisture con-tent in the pole reaches the critical lev-el when rot would begin to take a hold.

The preserving chemicals then spread evenly through the timber. The two scientists also created the equip-ment to make their product.

Because it is unlikely there will be a drop in the number of poles in Austra-lia and the treatment has to be redone at regular intervals, the income stream from the original Preschem company in Cheltenham is assured.

It all sounds so simple, and in some ways it is, but McEvoy and Chen-Woo were the brains behind the research and in the right place at the right time.

Not all entrepreneurs are so lucky, certainly not all scientists, but Mc-Evoy has an inquisitive mind and, it seems, has always been open to the pursuit, development and expansion of new ideas.

Now the sole owner of the IP (intel-lectual property) of Polesaver Rods, McEvoy, a Mt Martha resident, is us-ing proceeds from their continuing success to fund other enterprises, both business and philanthropic. On the business side he has developed wood fi nishing products; bought a sawmill; established timber plantations; and operated holiday villas in Bali. The Bali venture led to the idea of building a fi ve-star tourist lodge in a national park in southern Africa for the benefi t of surrounding villages.

His sense of social responsibility also spurred him to arrange for teach-ers from the Mornington Peninsula to spend time teaching in these villages. McEvoy is also turning his attention to reducing the high infant mortality rate in the nation where the incidence of HIV/AIDS infection is estimated at 20-30 per cent.

McEvoy has vertically integrated his timber businesses – from growing

trees to milling and selling (Radial Timber Sales at Dandenong and Yar-ram) as well as manufacturing and selling remedial wood presevatives and clear timber fi nishes (Preschem in Cheltenham).

His radial sawmill at Yarram in south Gippsland is the only one in the world and, he says, creates less wastage and a more stable product.

The mill was started by Andy Knorr, described by McEvoy as “a typical greenie” who decided that rather than protesting he would fi nd a more effi -cient way of producing sawn timber.

Knorr’s method to make rectangu-lar boards from circular logs involves cutting to the radius and then either parallel or at right angles to the growth rings.

McEvoy said Knorr was “a bit be-fore his time” but sees a bright future in the radial saw process once more plantation hardwood is available.

In a May 2009 submission to the Victorian Timber Industry Strategy, McEvoy claimed the existing strategy was misleading in that it stated that Victoria had the largest plantation in-dustry in Australia with 46 per cent be-ing devoted to hardwood, although, in fact, it was all destined for woodchips.

“Something must be done now to ensure that signifi cant hardwood saw-log plantations of the right species are established in commercial quantities. I could wait no longer and have started establishing these myself.”

McEvoy predicted there would be “no timber industry in Victoria” unless others followed his lead.

“Timber is a renewable resource, no way is it fi nite,” he said. “And they’re never going to fi nd a large undiscov-ered resource of native forest from which timber can be harvested.”

Although he has plantations that will supply hardwood for radial milling, he admits “30 to 40 years is a helluva business plan”.

McEvoy believes his Heartwood Plantations is probably the biggest hardwood plantation owner in Vic-toria, “but even that’s not really very much” when it comes to satisfying de-mand.

He says it is “quite a science” to get timber growing straight and healthy, involving genetics and soil quality.

Heartwood’s ongoing research and development has shown the benefi ts of growing a combination of trees, including nitrogen-fi xing wattles. Heartwood Plantations’ general busi-ness manager Jon Lambert founded the non-profi t Christian organisation Beyond Subsistence, which is under-taking several timber growing projects in Africa.

“I like the idea of being in charge of my own destiny and business,” McEvoy says, “but the two didn’t go hand in hand at CSIRO.

“Scientifi c boffi ns usually have no business sense.”

McEvoy describes how he and Chen-Woo listened to other CSIRO scientists talking about the day they would “get out”.

“Some of them had been there 50 years. We had the initiative and enter-prise to leave. ”

He believes the royalties earned by the CSIRO “made it 10 times more than if we had paid for the work”.

The two partners were the only em-ployees at the fi rst Preschem factory in Cheltenham, knocking on doors and doing their own marketing to fi ll a niche.

“It was the best decision I ever made, but some days it also seemed like the worst. It was hard stuff. There were setbacks and roadblocks, but we had a belief in the technology and the prod-

Creating a business by stopping the rotCreating a business by stopping the rot

uct. We had developed a very simple oil-based formula, including a mol-dicide. It started selling from day one.

“We were the only ones. It was a specialist market, but we didn’t realise how big.”

Fifteen years later McEvoy is still dealing with many of those early cus-tomers.

The big break came when they creat-ed a treatment for the power poles that did not involve dangerous substances such as creosote.

“We made a pre-measured, easily placed capsule that did not require the wearing of protective gear.”

Sales to the former State Electricity Commission of Victoria soon led to in-terest from power companies in other states.

McEvoy says there are about 150,000 concrete power poles in Australia, but they come at four times the cost of timber and have their own problems: heavy to lift; prone to damage; their steel reinforcing creates “concrete cancer” and its conductivity prevents them being placed near telecommuni-cation pits. Since the introduction of their preservative, annual replacement of timber poles in Victoria has dropped from three per cent to 0.25 per cent.

“There was no Eureka moment, it was all trial and error,” McEvoy said, adding that competitors had come and gone, including a couple of large inter-national corporations.

While the product has been accepted throughout most of Australia (South Australia doesn’t have timber poles), New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, South Africa and Brazil, attempts are

continuing to break into the United States where 200 million timber poles present a tempting market.

Political lobbyists (“hidden protec-tionism”) and requirements continu-ally being asked of Preschem have cre-ated obstacles but McEvoy is unfazed: “We know there are opportunities there so it’s worthwhile to keep trying.”

The global fi nancial crisis created few problems: “Our market doesn’t necessarily go up or down. Every util-ity in Australia uses wooden poles.”

Preschem has had few price rises, preferring instead to absorb cost in-creases by becoming more effi cient.

“I’m still amazed at how little people know about decay and rot in timber; they think it’s an animal.

“Termites are a problem, but decay causes fi ve times more problems in homes than termites.”

In Bali more than a dec-ade ago McEvoy liked the villas where they were staying in Legian and called the owner in Perth and the two became partners, building another two.

This enterprise led to a more ex-pansive plan for a lodge in Lesotho, an independent kingdom entirely sur-rounded by South Africa. Grander in scale and more uncertain of success, McEvoy teamed up with an old school pal, Nick King, “who I’d always spo-ken to about building an upmarket place”.

King, a builder, had been working in South Africa for some years and agreed “tourism needed the higher end”.

Since opening Maliba Mountain Lodge, McEvoy and his partners have established a community trust with the

idea of using profi ts from the lodge to help the Basotho people in nearby vil-lages.

The fi ve-star lodge’s website says that “providing employment and up-liftment of the local people” were “driving infl uences in establishing a world class tourist lodge”. The lodge was built using mainly local labour, with many now trained and staying on as barmen, security, house staff, gar-deners and maintenance men. One lo-cal is a manager.

McEvoy says that although Lesotho has the highest literacy rate in Africa, its low gross national product sees lit-tle money spent on public health or hospitals.

“It’s estimated 30 to 40 per cent of people have HIV/AIDS, which is plac-ing a tragic stress on families and the health care system.

“Young girls are giving birth to ba-bies without the help of their mothers.

“You hear horror stories of their treatment in hospital when for thou-sands of years babies were born at home.”

McEvoy, who sponsors annual visits by Australian teachers, would like to extend this model by bringing mid-wives to Lesothu.

Mailiba lodge is within the 5600-hectare Ts’ehlanyane National Park and offers spa treatments and massage therapy. Guests are urged to get involved by offering time or mon-ey to help with the school donation program, a “community forest” and projects for farming bees, craftwork and growing free range chickens.

“I want Maliba to be something that puts back into the community,” McEvoy said.

“I see it as a legacy from high end tourism in a country that really has nothing but disease and pestilence.”

Since opening in September 2008, the lodge has produced the cash to re-build four schools and open the fi rst of two planned community centres that can be used to run adult education courses.

“Schools are bringing students to the lodge to see what we do and boys who normally drop out to become goat herders are realising there are other opportunities for them.

“These attitudes fl ow on to the par-ents. School pass rates are going up. It’s really encouraging”.

MORNINGTON Peninsula and Frankston coun-cils have joined forced to spend $634,000 on paths in Humphries Rd, Mt Eliza.

Costs will be divided equally for shared paths from Winona Rd to Walkers Rd and Mann Rd to Nepean Highway on the west side, and from Overport Rd to Brighton St on the east side.

Work is expected to start later this month in Humphries Rd, which is the boundary between the two municipalities.

Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial and Mt Eliza Ward councillor Leigh Eustace issued a news release agreeing “that this partnership approach

between the two councils had resulted in a win-win situation for people living in both munici-palities”.

“Walking is great for health and fi tness, and can reduce reliance on cars and help people who may not have access to vehicles,” Cr Eustace said.

“The new path will include pram crossings and pedestrian refuge islands so it’s safe and user-friendly for pedestrians, cyclists and other users.”

Cr Cunial said the new path was “much needed infrastructure for people who use Humphries Rd and will improve the lifestyles of people in that area”.

Boundary path costs splitBoundary path costs splitBorderline issue: Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Cr Leigh Eustace share smiles over agreement for their councils to split the costs of new footpaths in Humphries Rd.

Healthy Living

By Lyndy SaltmarshIS your digestive system not feeling quite right?Do you only pay attention to your digestive system when there is a problem?

Maybe after you have eaten a large meal and feel bloated?

Or perhaps you pay attention to your digestive system only when you have had changes in bowel movements, like diarrhoea or constipation?

If this is the case, some digestive support in the form of a probiotic could be useful.

Probiotics are “good bacteria” that help keep your digestive system in good condition.

The balance of all these bacteria is essential for your health and wellbeing.Good bacteria can protect youYour digestive system is in constant contact with the outside environment through the food you eat.

In your lifetime, you will eat approximately 22 tonnes of food. This food and the fl uids you

consume could be carrying potential pathogens that could make you sick.

MANY spectacle wearers in the past had a multicoating on their lenses and were very dissatisfi ed.

The lenses were hard to clean and always appeared smeary. The coating became patchy, causing blurry vision. This may have been the case then but multicoating has been dramatically improved and gives spectacle wearers many benefi ts.

The wear and tear of everyday life can scratch and diminish the quality of spectacles. Refl ection and glare can disturb vision when outdoors or driving.

Condensation, rain and dirt will regularly come into contact with spectacles. These all reduce the quality of vision of spectacles.

Multicoating is a lens fi nishing system made up of several layers that are bonded to the surfaces of lenses to reduce refl ections, glare and grime; and to make the lens more scratch resistant.

Eliminating distracting refl ections and glare gives clearer vision, enhancing driving safety especially at night and in rainy weather. This

will also benefi t spectacle wearers who work under stressful lighting situations such as offi ces, shopping centres or using computers. More light will pass through the lens, improving vision as people get older and cataracts start to develop.

Lenses will stay cleaner longer because of the extremely smooth surface of the multicoating. The lens surface is water and oil repellent. Dirt will be repelled due to the antistatic properties of the multicoating. Lenses will be easier to clean and require less cleaning. They will wipe clean with a suitable microfi bre cloth.

The top coat is extremely hard, making lenses very scratch resistant. This protects lenses and they will last longer.

Spectacles are more attractive because the lenses are almost invisible. Eyes are clearly visible behind the lenses.

John Old Optometrist at Bentons Square recommends multicoat lenses for all your spectacles. They certainly are far superior to the earlier coatings and offer many benefi ts to the spectacle wearer.

STRESS is a common element in our hectic, busy lives. Small amounts of stress that are easily resolved can be benefi cial in motivating and helping us achieve our goals. Although chronic or long-term stress affects each of us differently, it ultimately affects the whole body in a negative way and may contribute to many health complaints.

Is your health being affected by stress? Do you often feel anxious, worried, depressed, irritable, exhausted, overloaded or forgetful? Do you suffer from stiff or sore muscles or joints, tension headaches, high blood pressure, frequent colds or the fl u? Or do you have irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, an increase or loss of appetite, or worsening of an existing illness or condition? If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, your body may be overburdened by stress.

Ongoing stress that has not been resolved may result in chronic stress, which can impact body systems such as the cardiovascular system by contributing to high blood pressure. It can also take its toll on your nervous system leading to exhaustion, headaches and insomnia. The digestive and immune system can also be weakened

by stress, making you more susceptible to irritable bowel syndrome, frequent colds and fl u.

Herbs such as rhodiola, passionfl ower, zizyphus and magnolia have been traditionally used for reducing stress and anxiety and nervous tension. Magnesium and B vitamins are used in

abundance during times of stress. Magnesium assists in muscle relaxation and calms the nervous system.

Find out about our stress less program by calling Karen and Jacqui, Accredited Naturopaths, at Peninsula Herbal Dispensary, 84 Main Street, Mornington. Telephone 5977 0117.

Top deals on beauty productsTop deals on beauty productsYOUR Hair & Beauty Factory Outlet opened on Main St, Mornington, in September 2011.

The owner-operator, former hairdresser Sue Bourke, believed prices for makeup and hair care products were going through the roof, so decided to do something about it by bringing in huge discounts on all her products seven days a week.

“How come it is so cheap?”is a question she gets asked every day.

Some products are end-of-run stock, broken or damaged

packaging or discontinued lines.

If customers have a favourite Innoxa or Australis lipstick or makeup they have not been able to fi nd in years, Sue and her staff will be happy to try to help you fi nd it.

If they do not have your product in stock, they can order it in, which usually takes only a few days.

Product lines include Innoxa skincare and makeup, Australis, Le-Tan, Natio makeup, Mode, Nailene, Fing’rs – all heavily discounted between 10 and 70 per cent.

Another new product is Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream.

New products arrive weekly. RPR shampoo and conditioners, treatments, waxes and shines and Moroccan Spritz arrived a few weeks ago.

Product ranges are suitable for teenagers, mums and grandmothers – something for everyone. Even Sheldon Flip Fold Shirt Boards are available.

Browsing is encouraged.Your Hair & Beauty Factory

Outlet is at 200 Main Street, Mornington. Phone 5976 3555.

Refl ux, heartburn and GORDWhat is refl ux?REFLUX occurs when the acid in your stomach, which helps digest food, rises up into the oesophagus.

The stomach has a thick mucous lining that protects it from the acids inside, but the oesophagus doesn’t have this protection. When it is exposed to acid, it may become irritated and painful, leading to symptoms of heartburn.What is heartburn?

Heartburn is a burning sensation that rises from the stomach or lower chest towards the throat. It is the most common symptom of refl ux and GORD (gastro-oesophageal refl ux disease). Up to 20 per cent of adults experience heartburn at least once a week.What is GORD?

If you experience heartburn or other symptoms of refl ux more than twice a week, or if your heartburn interferes with your daily life, you may have the medical condition GORD.

If left untreated, it can lead to other medical problems. Other symptoms of GORD include: excessive burping, regurgitation, sudden fi lling of the mouth with saliva, diffi culty swallowing, sore throat, persistent dry cough and chest pain.

If you are experiencing chest pain, contact your doctor immediately.

At LAPSurgery Australia we have the latest in Manometry technology to accurately diagnose refl ux disease. In our clinics you can be assessed, diagnosed, given dietary advice and, if necessary, offered a surgical solution.

A referral from your GP is required for consultation with one of our surgeons regarding High Resolution Manometry (Manoscan).

Talk to your GP regarding a care plan for a visit to our dietitian for advice on managing refl ux disease or heartburn.For appointments or queries, call 9760 2777.

We aim to:

TWO of the most common observations or concerns about children’s feet and legs are fl at feet and growing pains.

These are often of great concern to parents so warrant clarifi cation.

Flexible fl at feet in children is usually painless and perfectly normal.

In very young children, the fat pad in the arch of the foot may give an appearance of a fl at foot but is often not the case.

If the foot also rolls inward excessively at the ankle (pronates), then this may be cause for concern, although in the majority of cases most will grow out of it.

Flat feet are not something parents should worry about unless there are pain or balance problems.

Children with diagnosed fl at foot deformity will have instability in the foot and therefore foot, arch, heel, or ankle pain. Excessive rolling inward of the ankles also often leads to lower back, hip, knee or leg pain.

If a child regularly complains of pain and it’s interfering with normal play and leading

to sedentary activity, it should be investigated by a podiatrist experienced with assessing and treating children, ideally a sports podiatrist.

Non-specifi c growing pains in children are a common complaint, often causing deep ache-like leg pain during the night. Specifi c infl ammatory growing pains can be in the heel (Sever’s disease or calcaneal apophysitis) or at the knee (Osgood-Schlatters disease). These are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones, particularly in very active or sporty kids. Parents need to reduce the child’s physical activity and consult a sports podiatrist as soon as possible. With correct management sporting activities can be resumed.

If you or your child is suffering any foot or leg pain, Foot + Leg Pain Clinics can assist. They are one of Australia’s largest and most experienced sports podiatry companies with 18 clinics across Melbourne. For an assessment or to treat pain, call for an appointment. The Mt Eliza clinic is at 135 Mt Eliza Way, Mt Eliza.

By Fran Henke“There was something neat and high bred, a Quakerish elegance about the rogue that hit my fancy on the spot. She passed into my service for the consideration of 65 francs and a bottle of brandy.” Robert Louis Stevenson baptised the donkey on which he toured southern France in 1878 “Modestine”.

THIS oddball information came from a dear friend in Sydney on hearing I had been forced to resort to a scooter to “walk” my dogs.

In the letter, my friend, with whom I grew up in newspapers, sent an “em-bellishment” that she wangled free from Deus Ex Machina, a very expen-sive motorcycle emporium in Sydney.

The concept of deus ex machina was also new to me. Before applying the sticker to Modestine, I looked it up: A deus ex machina (god out of the ma-chine) is a plot device whereby a seem-ingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object.

Thus my red scooter, as secondhand as was Stevenson’s donkey, became known as “Modestine”.

Modestine was the intervention to my steadily increasing daily problem of going walkies (that word, signal for excitement in every dog owner’s home).

The Pride Victory 4 (aka Modestine) came to me after research at Western-Port Mobility, which has a range of machines, secondhand, owners moved onwards and upwards, cost from $1700

for a three-wheeler to $3000 and more for four.

I was drawn to a wicked three-wheeler dressed up to look like a Harley-Davidson, but the practicalities were remote of driving that plus con-trolling two wilful dogs.

Took the boys to the mower/mobil-ity HQ to try them out fi rst (thank you, Ray). No point in buying a scooter to solve a problem to fi nd it doesn’t. Raji, who dislikes bicycles (plus men in jeans), behaved pretty well. Kabir, the smaller Tibetan spaniel cross, took to it like a diminutive husky.

Felt a bit teary. Having once been the proud (elderly) owner of a sports car, this was an emotional transition. An expert Cribby friend shepherded the decision. We realised four wheels were essential for safety given the absence of footpaths in our area of Old Tyabb. A “supermarket” scooter was not go-ing to do the job, as much as I wanted to appear insignifi cant.

Went home to think about that and the cost. Then another of the dogs’ friends, Ben Loois, came to say he’d extracted and polished his late father’s scooter. It was waiting in his driveway for appraisal.

This was a neat red scooter, 10 years old. The chair was comfortable and we were able to adjust it to suit my needs. Done. We loaded the demountable sec-tions into the back of my car.

After 10 years of sitting in a garage, it needed new batteries and the tyres checking. Went online and found that 14psi was needed. Mick Doherty, our neighbour, had a portable air compres-sor so the tyres were infl ated for ac-

tion. Seeing this would be a valuable accessory, I bought one ($54) to keep in the car.

Then I was ordered to have a fl ag. No way! I was not going to potter round the streets like a disaster with an or-ange fl ag. Argument: Essential. No. Then a Facebook friend suggested a Tibetan prayer fl ag for the mast instead of the orange plastic job. This seemed a reasonable compromise ($5 for the prayer fl ag). So after numerous inquir-ies around Hastings, found the bicycle shop sold safety fl ags ($19).

The mast was too tall for my liking. So while the rear vision mirror was being fi xed by the same kind Mick, I “pruned” the mast by a foot. He of-fered to fi t the fl ag too. What happened to the fl ag? It’s too short, he said. Cut this bit off, I said proudly, attaching the orange Tibetan cloth depicting the Goddess riding her tiger.

“Fran,” said Mick fi rmly. “There is men’s work and there is women’s work. This was men’s work.”

Maybe so, but this was my com-promise. I’d already been aware of “the looks”. People in wheelchairs get them. It’s hard for folk to look beyond the wheels to the person.

Driving round the streets on Mod-estine was such a relief. Movement without hurting, though not without challenges. Day one we wrapped Ra-ji’s lead around the back axle. While he stood trapped, I took Kabir into a nearby house to ask for help. There was a party on, so three strong men were available to tip Modestine on her side and undo the lead while I held the dog. Thank you!

An Ode to ModestineAn Ode to ModestineTaken for a ride: Fran Henke and friends try out the new “walkies” machine.

We’re getting better at it now. Other dogs or cyclists can present potential chaos, but oncoming motorists have been patient so far. We don’t feel safe in strong wind and we don’t go out in wet conditions (electricity and water not ideal companions). On the controls I’ve learnt to dial up “hare” to get her up hills, “tortoise” to navigate the gate and kerbs.

We bought a barbecue cover at $16 to protect Modestine from the rain in her woodshed (purpose rebuild cour-

tesy of Mick). Custom-made covers would have cost a bundle.

VicRoads has a booklet of advice on “motorised devices” that must have a maximum speed of 10km/h and may only be used by people who have dif-fi culty in walking.

The checklist before each trip rec-ommends: Ensure the batteries are fully charged. Is the seat locked? Are you dressed in light coloured clothing? (Given slow pace, wear a hat against the sun). Take a mobile phone. Insurance – we included Modestine with the car’s RACV Roadside Assist-ance for an extra $44 a year. Carry identifi cation (for me, my po-lio medical alert card, too). Ensure shopping items don’t upset the balance or get in the way of con-trols.

Out and about: Avoid uneven surfaces and tackle curbs front-on not at an angle. Take turns slowly (tortoise). Choose safe crossing points; avoid roundabouts. Ensure eye contact with motorists – have they seen you? Tram and train tracks are traps for small wheels. Use mirrors constantly to check for pedestrians, bikes and cars. When stopping, turn off motor and don’t park on slopes.

“She was patient, elegant in form, the colour of an ideal mouse, and inimitably small. Her faults were those of her race and sex; her virtues were her own.” – Robert Louis Stevenson, 1878.

As the awareness of ADD grows, so do the ‘myths and misinformation’ concerning this disorder and the treatment modalities. Silvan Lodge Clinic is leading the way in education, to give every person an equal opportunity for their future in life...ADD takes on many pro les and at Silvan Lodge Clinic we have an educational perspective, which will allow the identi cation of ‘at risk’ children. Offering services for a range of neuro-develop-mental disorders for children, adolescents and adults.

WHAT’S NEW

A CLINIC specialising in neuro-developmental disorders has opened a practice in Frankston after 16 years operating in North Caulfi eld.

Silvan Lodge Clinical Consultants is run by the Barry family and is led by psychiatrist Dr Ronald M Barry.

A consultant child, adolescent and adult psychi-atrist, Dr Barry has more than 40 years of expe-rience in the fi eld of developmental differences.

He trained in the United States and worked there for 20 years before returning to Melbourne to resume his career in his home town.

Silvan Lodge Clinic opened in 1995 as a spe-cialty clinic dealing exclusively with the assess-ment, treatment and management of neuro-devel-opmental disorders.

Specifi c neuro-developmental disorders in-clude pervasive developmental disorders, autistic spectrum disorders (including Asperger’s Syn-drome and autism), AD/HD and specifi c learning diffi culties, as well as the emotional diffi culties that are often associated with these disorders.

The clinic began with what it believes to be Australia’s fi rst group therapy program for adults with AD/HD.

Since then, Dr Barry and his co-therapists, clinical psychologist Astra King and psychologist Teana Barry, have run extensive group programs to benefi t their clients.

Over the years, the clinic has expanded to include psycho-educational and vocational as-sessments, assessments for educational funding applications, an AD/HD coaching program and specialised and general counselling services for individuals, couples, and families. It also offers the parenting program, ‘P.S. I Love You’, devel-oped and run by Mrs King.

Silvan Lodge Clinic psychologists have also been involved in the training of provisional psycho logists for entry into the profession.

Other clinicians at Silvan Lodge Clinic include educational psychologist Roger Edwards, psy-chologist Valerie Park and provisional psycholo-gist Alison Percy.

Counselling services are available under the Better Access to Mental Health Scheme with re-ferral from your GP.

Silver Lodge Clinic is at 361 Nepean Highway, Frankston, phone 9770 6777.

www.mbantua.com.auIT’S tough times in the bush for indigenous painters as a result of the retail slump.

Mbantua art dealer and gallery owner Tim Jennings says he is turning away artists, which is having an impact on employment and incomes in Outback communities.

“Many of the artists who paint for Mbantua are taking a forced break from painting as demand for art has slowed down worldwide, due, predominantly to the economic climate,” Mr Jennings said.

Mbantua has been a provider for more than 20 years of work for the artists of Utopia, a community 250 kilometres northeast of Alice Springs.

The gallery buys art from about 200 artists, some of whom support large families. “It is their primary source of income and employment and we need to get them painting again,” he said.

To try and stimulate the market Mbantua is discounting prices at its three retail outlets.

“Selected artists will be discounted, which will create opportunities for buyers and help Mbantua gee up Utopia artists who have found themselves without a regular outlet for their paintings.”

A number of years ago Mbantua established a Foundation for Central Australia with its mandate being to assist indigenous disadvantage in Central Australia.

More information on the foundation can be obtained by contacting foundation development manager Miranda Daniels at [email protected]

More information on the artists of Utopia can be found on Mbantua’s website www.mbantua.com.au

By Stuart McCulloughWHAT’S the worst job in the world? It’s a question that could easily be answered in 2003. Back then, as Coalition forces poured into Iraq, the holder of the unenviable title of “worst job in the world” was Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf – the Iraqi Information Minister.

This was the man whose job it was to face the international media on a daily basis and try not so much to put a positive spin on things as attempt to convince you that up was down and black was white.

Even when presented with over-whelming evidence that there were huge armies advancing towards the capital, he refused to concede, heroically responding:

“They are nowhere. They are on the moon. They are snakes in the desert.”

Perhaps most famously, he declared in a television interview that there were no tanks in Baghdad. His insistence was somewhat undermined by the tanks that, at that very moment, were driving behind him. That he was monstrously mistaken isn’t really the point; against all odds, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf was still willing to talk things up. Just as all was lost and the city of Baghdad was wholly occupied, he had the task of declaring to the world that Iraq was “winning”. Perhaps inspired by the former Iraqi Information Minister, Charlie Sheen has revitalised this catch phrase.

I can’t help but feel partly re-sponsible. When I claimed in 2008 that the television show Two and a Half Men was so bad that it made

cricket seem interesting, I had no idea that it would spark a chain reaction that would culminate in the ruination of this once all-conquering sitcom.

My comments seemed to have no discernable impact at the time as the show went from strength to putrid strength and Jon Cryer, Angus T Jones and Charlie Sheen were showered with more cash per episode than I am ever likely to earn my entire adult life.

But in an instant everything changed. Just as a pebble dropped into a pond will create a ripple that will eventually crash onto the shore, so too has my withering criticism

fi nally felled Two and a Half Men.Several things have since become

clear – fi rstly; Charlie Sheen is no more impressed with the jokes on that show than I am. Pitching himself as a veritable comedic alchemist, he claimed to be turning the scripts into “gold”. The second is simply this: Charlie Sheen works better without a script at all. Frankly, the things that fall out of his mouth when given free rein are vastly more entertaining than anything he said as Charlie Harper.

Consider the evidence. Previous to his departure from the show, he had referred to himself as a “total bitchin’ rock star from Mars” and cautioned

people from taking the substance “Charlie Sheen”, lest your face should “melt” and your relatives forced to “weep over your exploded body”.

Clearly, his true calling is not that of actor but writer, because I defy anyone to come up with anything so defi antly wahooti fandango bizarre as that. Perhaps Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf could churn out something to that standard, but I understand that he’s since retired.

This isn’t a matter of an occasional outburst but, rather, a sustained campaign beamed directly from planet Sheen.

Faced with the prospect of an ignominious sacking, old Charlie fought the good fi ght by demanding a pay rise.

He then announced a tour that was snappily entitled “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option” tour while variously describing himself as an F-18 and a “warlock” riding a “mercury surfboard”.

But as much as he talks a good talk, you can’t escape the feeling that the tanks were driving around behind him even as he spoke.

While the ubiquity of Two and a Half Men once drove me to describe Charlie Sheen as a human screensaver, I now feel kind of guilty.

It’s an odd thing when you rail against something and then witness its collapse. Had I realised how fragile it was, I’d have probably kept my mouth shut. It seems, though, that I am in the minority. For whenever an article appears on the web pages of our major newspapers, all manner of

people seize the opportunity to post their comments.

A healthy percentage of such comments pose the question “who cares?” perhaps overlooking the fact that they obviously cared enough to post a comment.

What is it about website commentary that brings out the absolute worst in all of us? It used to be said that if you can’t say something nice, you shouldn’t say anything at all. Were this principle to be applied now, the internet as we currently know it would cease to operate.

The title of worst job in the world most recently belonged to the Charlie Sheen’s press agent, who has since resigned.

While this is understandable, it makes me feel guiltier still. There’s one thing I can do to right this terrible wrong – I must volunteer to fi ll-in for Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men.

Forget Ashton Kutcher. Standing up to the plate to take Charlie’s place is the least I can do.

It is clear that I have committed a terrible wrong against Charlie Sheen and it is up to me to hold the fort while he sorts itself out. That said, I’m yet to check my availability. If it turns out that the production schedule clashes with my hectic social life, allow me to suggest Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf for the role of Charlie Harper. He knows how to carry on regardless.

I WANT my $96 back. After a month of pretend football followed by expert conclusions as a result of the pretend nonsense, we are into another AFL season, but before it starts we get all that palaver for (seemingly) hours of what is likely to happen when it does start. And all those national anthems? Oh woe is me. If the match is televised on 7 and Fox, we get shots of nothing on Fox while 7 commercials are on.

A Fox-only match and we get Der-mot Brereton’s boring reasons as to why a particular action just happened. Perhaps a quiz as to who will ask the famous “What was going through your mind?” question the most? Or Danny Frawley’s library of adjectives con-sisting mostly of one word: unbeliev-able. Press on, Cliffi e. Tape everything and watch with the fast forward button in hand. Twelve wins in a season will do it at $8 per win. Delete losses.

***GERMAINE Greer got a mild past-ing from the more trenchant feminists for suggesting Mzzz Melody’s jackets were not form fi tting; also referring to our Prime Minister’s rear.

I thought the bottom line for femi-nists was equal rights for women, but apparently there are unwritten behav-ioural rules. Even Herald Sun chil-

dren’s writer Andrew Bolt gave us the benefi t of his youthful intel lectual in-put. I wonder why young Andrew re-fers to those he disagrees with as from the left, yet apparently nobody is from the right. No, they be conservatives.

I’m with Germaine on Julia’s dress style. On the other hand, Tony looks very chooky also.

***I’VE never been for or against the pro-posed pool on the Rosebud foreshore, but I do believe a pool close to public transport is a good thing for the south-ern peninsula, assuming the state gov-ernment comes to the party.

What is far more important to me is that we do not lose Rosebud Memorial Hall. Arts on the Mornington Peninsu-la is already almost non-existent and anything that worsens this situation is shameful. If this pool idea ever gets off the ground, which is doubtful for mine, will our council include a plan to replace the hall?

***SO many females studying sociology (functioning of human society?) and philosophy (the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence?). Imagine in a few years, this spreading of information. Thousands of females dominating the airwaves, more meet-

ings (they adore a good looong meet-ing) and an adjoining creche for their lovely little kiddies.

This is no major problem for me because, as most of my readers know, I prefer females to males, always as-suming there is no hanky panky in-volved. All one has to do over coffee is say hello, and the females mount the rostrum and continue on, ad infi nitum. And I won’t be here when the takeover takes place anyway. But I sometimes worry for my male grandchildren. A big wide world of meetings, commit-tees, conclusions? Am I being sexist? I’m blowed if I know.

***A FRIEND went overseas and on re-turn told me all about the pyramids. It stuck in my mind, the attraction of the pyramids. Why would anyone pay homage to them? All those thou-sands of slaves working and dying for a madman to skite about himself. Ditto the Great Wall of somewhere. A useless monument to greed, ambition, superstition and vanity. I’m a coffee on the footpath in Paris man; people watcher.

***DO you know people who are on a dis-ability support pension and work for cash? I cannot help wondering about

what effect these people have on the people who are truly entitled to it.

I was talking recently, in the nicest possible way, and suggested to one of them: “but theoretically people in your situation are taking money from all of us and not contributing to the needs of everybody”. This, of course, was putting it as lightly as I dared, being a chicken at heart. The answer: “I don’t agree. I pay my taxes every time I buy something and pay my bills.” Sounds fair?

***LAST September the government changed the disability support pen-sion requirements in that those on this pension must show that they are actively seeking employment. The minister (Jenny Macklin) told us that this change was about helping people with disabilities to fi nd work. This is nonsense, of course. Yet another way to chip away at our benefi ts. They call it “the way forward”, but it’s only their way, which is to save money. Cynical? Probably.

***JAMES Reyne hosts The Lineup at Cube 37 at the Frankston Arts Centre, a musical showcase for up and coming musicians created by The Little The-atre Company. The 25 March concert

was excellent. Next concert is 27 May. Try to be there. Well worth a look and listen.

***THINGS furtherest from my mind: Anything Lord Mayor Robert Doyle says (why is he a lord?); Helen Shapiro singing Not Responsible; where Mark Webber fi nishes in the latest Formula 1 grand prix race; any sentence ending in “moved on”; any commercial that says “clinical studies prove”.

“The one beautiful thing about actors is that they’re so exposed. They’re not being criticised only for their behav-ior, but for their legs and breasts, for their double chin; their whole being is exposed to criticism. How can you not embrace them and how can you feel anything but gratitude towards these people?”

A Grain of Salt

By Cliff Ellen

HOW many times do we hear the phrase “fi nal or farewell tour”? It re-minds me of how many comebacks Kiss and John Farnham made.

However I was not surprised to hear Barry Humphries announce his “fare-well tour” after many years of enter-taining the world.

Humphries once said he had no in-tention of being an entertainer and, after dropping out of Melbourne Uni-versity, started working for EMI.

But he has won international recog-nition for his creation and portrayal of several caricatures from Australian life, in particular Dame Edna Everage, Barry McKenzie and Les Patterson.

His fi rst show was A Nice Night’s Entertainment in 1962 followed by A Load of Old Stuffe (1971), A Night with Dame Edna (1978-79) and many others.

His comic strip The Adventures of Barry McKenzie appeared in the UK magazine Private Eye from 1963 to 1974. In 1972 Humphries wrote the screenplay for a fi lm of the same name in which he acted the part of Edna Everage. His other fi lm appear-ances included The Getting of Wisdom (1977) in a “straight” role; Les Patter-son Saves the World (1987) which he

co-wrote and acted in; and Marsupi-als: The Howling III (1987).

In 1988 Humphries was named show business personality of the year by the Variety Club of Great Britain and the same year made the television series The Dame Edna Experience. He was named Australian show business ambassador at the 1994 Mo Awards.

Humphries will perform a limited number of farewell shows around Aus-tralia – Eat Pray Laugh! – including at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne from 19 July to 2 August with three matinees at 1pm on 25 and 28 July and 1 August. Tickets from 136 100.

THERE is no doubt Australian radio programmers did not give Aussie duo Air Supply the airplay they deserved. Right from their inception, Air Supply was underestimated. Even when their debut single Love and Other Bruises (CBS) hit the charts in 1976, the group was still largely ignored.

Graham Russell and Russell Hitch-cock (pictured) eventually turned to the tough United States market where they became instant superstars in the early 1980s. They became the only group in the ’80s to that point to have seven singles in the US top 40, making

them millionaires.Lost in Love, Every Woman in the

World, All Out of Love and That One That You Love all reached the No 1 spot in the US.

Here I Am and Even the Nights are Better made the top 10 while Sweet Dreams made the top 40.

Air Supply evolved after Russell met Hitchcock worked together dur-ing the Jesus Christ Superstar New Zealand tour. Chrissie Hammond was also a part of the group, but decided to pursue a solo career before coming a part of the duo Cheetah.

At the American Music Awards in Los Angeles in 1982, Air Supply was voted best group for 1981. In Australia the duo received the most outstand-ing achievement at the Countdown Awards.

It is an undeniable fact of history that Air Supply ranks with AC/DC, Men At Work, Bee Gees and INXS as one of the fi ve most successful groups to have emerged from the Australian pop/rock scene.

On 27 April, EMI Music will release a new “best of” collection featuring 19 tracks from 1976 to 1983. The Ulti-mate Collection includes all the clas-sic hits with a CD booklet featuring in-

sightful liner notes by Glenn A Baker.www.airsupplymusic.comwww.theinsoundfromwayout.com

***LEONARDO DiCaprio will star in the new Quentin Tarantino action fi lm Django Unchained (Sony Pictures) to be released in Australia early next year.

Also starring Jamie Foxx, Chris-toph Waltz and Samuel L Jackson, it tells the story of a slave turned bounty hunter (Foxx) who sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner (DiCaprio).

10 games collectively last season], which gave us a seven-man midfi eld rotation.

“Tom and Matt Baker also give us the key position height we’ve been looking for and Chris Rogers did a great job down back for us.

“To be honest, I couldn’t be more positive after a loss,” Hustwaite said.

New Rye coach Ben Holmes was also up and about after his side’s thrashing of Frankston Bombers.

The Demons led at every change and recorded an emphatic 17.15-117 to 8.10-58 victory.

East Doncaster recruit Justin Van Unen fi nished with eight goals from 15 shots, while Darren Booth was clearly best on ground.

Holmes told The News that beating Frankston at Frankston in round one was a brilliant start to the season.

“They’re a very diffi cult side to beat at home and to win in that fashion was a great start,” Holmes said.

Teenager Andrew Dean booted three goals, as did the coach.

“It was my fi rst run for the year and I was glad to get through. I started at centre half-back and played through

the middle, then moved forward when we lost Aaron Findlay [ankle],” Hol-mes said.

“There were a lot of positives, in-cluding the form of Rhett Sutton, who spent the entire game in the ruck.”

There wasn’t a lot to crow about for the Bombers.

Tyabb proved it wasn’t going to be the whipping boys of the competition as some predicted, storming home to beat Devon Meadows.

The Yabbies have had a long pre-season under new coach Brad Coller and it came to the fore on Saturday, when they booting seven goals to three in the last quarter to win 17.13-115 to 12.10-82.

Ash Waterstone booted four goals for the Yabbies while Cranbourne re-cruit Ryan Jones was oustanding.

Scott Pickersgill, in his club record breaking 308 th game, was one of the best players on the ground. Callum O’Hare was the best of the Meadows.

Interestingly, Tyabb skipper Matty Dimkos was best on ground in the re-serves.

By Toe PuntMPNFL Nepean League reigning pre-miers Sorrento withstood a last quar-ter fi ghtback to record an impressive 10-point victory over Somerville on Saturday.

The Sharks, who recorded a strong victory over Dromana on Easter Sat-urday, went into Saturday’s match without star players including Brendan Cairns, Kayle Stringer-Morris, Trevor Mattison, Troy Schwarze, Leigh Tree-by and Cayden Beetham.

During the second quarter, skipper Benny McCormack went down with a hamstring strain and Glen Boyington was knocked out.

Despite being two players down dur-ing the game, the home side was able to stretch its 13-point half-time lead to 21 points at the fi nal break. Sorrento won 12.12-84 to Somerville 10.14-74.

Somerville got within nine points at the 10-minute mark of the last quarter, but wasn’t able to get any closer.

The Eagles also went into the game far from full strength.

Will Jolley, Aaron Murray, Todd Farrelly, Chris King, Jed Sutton, Nick Brown and Lachy Edwards were all missing on Saturday.

Eagles’ coach Leigh Stewart will be disappointed by the result, but buoyed by the fact his side, despite not being at full strength, was able to push the reigning premier for four quarters.

Justin Farrelly was outstanding for the Eagles in his fi rst game with the club, while Chris Bagot was superb for the Sharks in the back line. Dion Phillips was awarded the Radio Port Phillip man of the match award for his tireless four-quarter effort.

A rushed behind in the dying sec-onds of the game saw Crib Point sneak over the line in a thriller against Red Hill, 15.15-105 to 16.8-104.

Trailing for the large majority of the

afternoon, Jon Flack took a contested mark and converted for the Magpies to draw the scores level with a handful of minutes to play.

Brad Davison then kicked the ball off the ground with seconds left and watched as the ball trickled through the behinds. It was enough to hand the Pies the four points.

Magpies coach Dave Lawson said he was thrilled with the way his charges fought out the game.

“I thought we were down and out at three-quarter time to be honest,” Law-son said.

“Red Hill was running us ragged and I wasn’t sure we had the fi tness on the big Red Hill ground to fi ght it out,” he said.

“However, some of the second and third efforts in that last quarter were sensational and it was fantastic to get a win in a close one.”

Lawson agreed that winning the tight ones was important this season.

“The competition is so even, it is vi-tal that you convert all of your oppor-tunities, especially when you look at our draw and see Hastings at Hastings and Frankston at Frankston in the next two weeks.”

Red Hill unveiled a number of new players, including Joe Krieger and Alex Lee. Both have been on AFL lists (Fremantle and Port Adelaide respec-tively) and provided the Hillmen with much-needed height. Jamie Mc Call was also a welcome addition, given his height.

Dromana bounced back from its hammering against Sorrento last week to dish out a thrashing to Pearcedale, winning 26.16.172 to 9.13.67.

The Tigers booted nine goals to one in the opening term and the game was done and dusted from that point.

Chelsea recruit Anthony Bruhn was impressive in attack for the Tigers with

six goals, while Paul Minchington was back to some of his best with fi ve ma-jors.

It was a very disappointing day for the Panthers, who recruited heavily in the off-season. Three of their recruits in Tony Lester, Andrew Douglas and Chris Fortnam were among their bet-ter players.

Hastings trailed for much of the match against Rosebud, but was able to dig deep in the last quarter and win 13.12-90 to 11.9-75.

The Blues trailed by the smallest of margins at three-quarter time, but were able to boot fi ve goals to two in the fi -nal term.

Hastings coach Glenn Michie, who booted four goals in an outstanding display at centre half-forward, was proud of the way his players fought out the game.

“I wasn’t overly impressed with our four-quarter performance, given that we were undisciplined at times and it cost us dearly,” Michie said.

“That’s not the way we want to play our footy. In saying that, to lose Kyle Pinto [shoulder] and recruit Mark De-vereaux [corked thigh] early in the match and then fi ght it out against quality opposition was pleasing.

“Rosebud’s midfi eld is as good as it has been for a long time and we knew we were in for a tight match. To win a close one fi rst up was great,” Michie said.

Buds’ coach Mark Hustwaite said he was pleased to see that his side had “closed the gap” on last year’s grand fi nalists.

“We were smashed by 19 goals by Hastings last year, so to get within 15 points in round one was pleasing,” Hustwaite said.

“It was great to have Rhys Bancroft, Daniel Giarusso and Aaron Rose back out on the park [they players less than

By Craig MacKenzieGLOBAL soccer phenomenon Coerver Coaching is set to turn Mornington into the biggest and best club in the Frankston and peninsula region, says Jamie Paterson, the club’s youth development offi cer and new head coach of Coerver’s Peninsula Program.

“Mornington is making really good progress at senior level, the reserves are very strong and should produce some senior players but we felt that we had to reorganise the junior set-up and Coerver were really keen to come into the area,” Paterson said.

The training method is named after the late Wiel Coerver, a Dutch coach nicknamed “the Albert Einstein of football”.

Coerver analysed videotapes of various great players including Pelé and devised a concept that advocates skill can not only be inherent with young players, but also passed on in a comprehensive academic way.

Players from 5-16 progress in a structured pyramidal manner, from the basics of ball mastery to a tactically driven group attack.

Paterson will hold Coerver sessions at the FIFA-accredited synthetic soccer pitch at Somerville Secondary College starting on Saturday 28 April.

When the year-long program is in full swing, it will involve weekly sessions in 10-week blocks interspersed with three-week breaks. Paterson will be assisted by Neil Flinn, managing director of Coerver Coaching Melbourne.

Mornington’s football operations manager, Brian Sinclair, a former

English professional player, is a Coerver adherent and has played an important role in structuring the club’s player development pathway.

“Everyone now understands what their job is at the club thanks to Brian. He has given the club direction and guidance,” Paterson said.

But the club is not simply zeroing in on its 300-plus juniors. It also

is going to great lengths to teach the Coerver method to all its junior coaches, male and female.

On Friday 27 April Flinn will hold a special training session with Mornington’s under-13A boys at Dallas Brooks Park from 5.30-7pm and attendance by the club’s junior coaches is mandatory.

Mornington’s home ground also

will be the venue for a Coerver diploma course for the club’s junior coaches on the weekend of 28 and 29 April. The course involves a six-hour session on the Saturday and a four-hour session the next day.

“This is going to revolutionise football in the area and it’s going to be very enjoyable for the players,” Paterson said.

“We believe that every player should get 1500 touches of the ball per week and we make sure that when we progress to small sided games that it’s 3 versus 3 or 4 versus 4 so that everyone is very involved.”

The Coerver method has been endorsed by many of the sport’s luminaries, prominent among them Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson, Argentinian World Cup winner Osvaldo Ardiles, Brazilian World Cup-winning coach Carlos Parreira and German legend Franz Beckenbauer.

For more information on the Coerver method, visit www.coervervic.com.au

Meanwhile, Mornington’s senior team recorded a staggering 8-1 win away from home last weekend against Noble Park United with striker Colin Stewart underlining a man-of-the-match performance with fi ve goals and former Melbourne Knights and South Melbourne star Billy Natsoulis scoring on debut.

New Canadian recruit Babatunde MacAuley came on as a second-half substitute.

“Colin could have scored seven or eight goals. We scored four goals in a 20-minute period of the second half and the football was absolutely scintillating and really enjoyable to watch,” senior coach Adam Jamieson said.

The seniors are on top of the State League Division 2 table and have set up a mouth-watering derby at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday against second-placed Langwarrin, which also has won both its opening games.

THE trick to good building and renovating is to have a plan and to be thorough with your research.

Failure to do both can cause problems with quality, budget and overall results.

Luckily the Mornington Peninsula has its very own building centre, Home Innovations, to turn to for help with planning, design advice and product selection to help avoid such nightmares. It has experienced staff to help seven days and there is always an expert on hand with the Master Builders, Boral and Croft Wootton Construction using Home Innovations as their southern base with offi ces on the premises.

Home Innovations manager Andrew Gorman was asked how the centre keeps up to date with home technology.

“We learn from a variety of sources like the

Master Builders, exhibitors’ seminars and even from visitors enquiring about new products,” Mr Gorman said. “Countless times we’ve had a homeowner asking for a special new product and with research we fi nd them and we invite them to join our Exhibitor Group.”

The centre has recently completed a major renovation of its own so if you haven’t visited for some time, don’t waste time trawling and visit Home Innovations Building Centre.

With new exhibitors arriving daily you’ll fi nd hundreds of the latest building and renovating products from quality Mornington Peninsula companies.

Home Innovations is in the Peninsula Homemaker Centre, corner Nepean Highway and Bungower Road, Mornington, behind Bunnings and is open 7 days from 10am-5pm.

– are fi xed and unable to adjust to these body movements. The outcome was the design and development of a unique recliner mechanism that follows and correctly supports the body’s slightest movement.

“Today this mechanism is acclaimed ergonomically as perhaps the world’s fi nest and around it Stressless has designed a superb collection of swivel recliner chairs and reclining sofas all using this same mechanism.”
