Summer time views CRUISE ship passengers disembarking at Mornington on Tuesday 24 February might find the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach has views to rival some better known places in the Mediterranean. Last week’s mild weather made for an enviable stopover for those aboard this yacht as snorkellers, fishers and sun lovers accessed the pristine waters from the rocks. ‘Traders getting set to welcome ship’s passengers’, Page 4 Picture: Keith Platt

Plea to shire: lower rates David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is under pressure to cut its rates as the state government promises to force councils to justify any increases above the rate of inflation. Councils will be required to send their budgets to the Essential Services Commission for permission to raise rates above inflation under Labor’s new policy. The shire’s 2015-16 budget is well

under way. Officers are assembling the data on which our rates and charges will be struck – under the experienced financial eye of new shire CEO Carl Cowie. For the first time in perhaps a decade, those who put their views annually to the shire on what the budget should achieve have a discernible spring in their step, expecting their suggestions to be taken more seriously than in the recent past. Shire dismissal of community budget submissions has festered. In one

recent year officers had finished the final budget draft before the deadline for submissions expired, deeply angering many residents who found they had toiled for no purpose on their contributions. This year’s budget process is the first this millennium to be overseen by a new chief executive. The shire is again encouraging ordinary ratepayers to have an input, including at a meeting on Wednesday 11 February. First topic in most submissions is, inevitably, rates. The shire’s own policy

has for years been rises of no more than local government’s version of CPI plus 2 per cent, but it almost never adheres to this figure. Notoriously, the shire has for years used the municipal charge, now standing at $180 a property flat charge, as a “phantom” rise. Last year a move to lift it by a further $10 was defeated. Perhaps as notoriously, the shire has regularly omitted the charge when announcing the “rate” rise, understating the figure by up to 2 per cent. Last year’s rate-in-the-dollar rise

was 5.9 per cent (omitting the municipal charge), 18 per cent higher than the shire’s own forecast of 5 per cent. Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association is preparing its arguments that rates have risen unsustainably. “The shire’s rate increases over the decade show little concern for those in the low socio-economic bracket who are least able to pay in these difficult economic times,” MPRRA president Dr Alan Nelsen said.

‘High priestess’ defends swami’s actions Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A LOYAL disciple of Mt Eliza-based guru Swami Shankarananda has defended criticism of his self-admitted sexual impropriety as being “a publicity stunt from those that would bring him down”. The “high priestess” Rhonda “Vilasini” Reukers says one of the swami’s former disciples “is trying to destroy his credibility because he wants to be a guru himself”. However, Callum Campbell, CEO of the Australian Mediation Association has been appointed to come up with a solution to the crisis enveloping the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga in Tower Rd. Swami Shankarananda has apologised to his followers for his actions and the school’s board of directors, while leaving him as spiritual director, has set up a sub-committee to write a code of conduct. (‘Secret sex shakes yoga school’, The News 20/1/15.) The statement issued by the ashram’s management committee said “many people are hurt, angry and confused”. Ms Reukers – writing from Seminyak, Bali, where she and daughter Cindy run a yoga and meditation school - says she has been a disciple of Swami Shankarananda for 35 years. Her letter is published on Page 14. “He [the disaffected former disciple] has exaggerated the numbers unbelievably high about the tantra [sexual] partners Swamiji has had over the years, who were all willing participants and now Swamiji is trying to protect them

from the ordeal of being involved in a court case.” Ms Reukers states that the truth about the claims of women being hurt at the Mt Eliza ashram “will come out in a court of law”. The Siva school, through a spokesman, said it had received legal advice to the effect that no criminal laws had been broken and it was “an internal matter and we have not been contacted by the police”. “It is unethical to publish something that is not the truth. Just a weapon against Swamiji who I see as the true victim,” Ms Reukers stated. “I have been Swamiji's disciple for 35 years and I know that this is not who he is. I have held every position around him. He is a loving, caring and constantly giving person. Who asks for very little. He never asks for money from his devotees. He used his inheritance to build the ashram. “Swami Shankarananda - also known as Swamiji (formerly known as Russell Kruckman) – has distributed a let-

ter to attendees of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga apologising “to the community and to anyone who has been hurt by my actions or even by hearing of my actions”. Meanwhile, the Shiva school is offering free counselling to “anyone who needs assistance” and a subcommittee has been appointed to write a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda. The management committee of the residential ashram in Tower Rd said Swami Shankarananda – although never claiming to be “a sexual renunciant” or demanding celibacy from any of his students – had admitted it was inappropriate to keep “aspects of the teaching and his personal activities secret”. “I know people are disappointed and upset. I apologise to them and ask their forgiveness,” Swami Shankarananda stated. He said his “tantric activities have been the only blemish” during his

more than 20 years as head of the Shiva school. “As I have said, I have stopped them. When peace returns, perhaps I will speak and write about what is to be learned. “I am open to a dialogue about the role of the guru and sannyasa in the modern west and also the place of sexuality in spiritual life – and other matters. We are pioneers, after all, and getting it all right isn’t easy. “I don’t know how I could have been this stupid … but I was. I beg your forgiveness.” Ms Reukers using the name Vilasini has published a book, Girl on Fire – Journey beyond madness, which has been praised by Swami Shankarananda who advises readers to be “ready for a ride quite unlike any other. Rarely has the spiritual process been painted so colourfully and so directly”. Part of the book’s blurb reads: “One major significant yogic thing happened on the last morning. As I went into the bathroom I suddenly felt that I was going to faint. I slid to the floor which was tiled and cool to the touch. In an instant; my whole genital area felt like it was on fire. I sat there amazed… God and I knew that the goddess Kundalini herself was working magic within this being called Vilas.” There is one anonymous review on Amazon online bookstore: The story is a heart-warming experience of the author’s journey dealing with her initiation into yoga (kundalini awakening) where her symptoms get misunderstood as a psychiatric condition.

She fights for her dignity and freedom to have her experience. It was the old battle of good overcoming evil. It was also eat pray love without the eat. I couldn't put it down.” Bali Shiva Yoga, run by Ms Reukers and her daughter Cindy, is based in busy beachside Seminyak and offers to “teach meditation, read the Tarot and meet for Satsang. We also do our Retreats at a wonderful resort in Ubud”. The centre’s website says “people wrongly think tantra is a sexual cult” but explains that “Kashmir Shaivism does include sexuality but not as an exclusion of everything else. It is just another tool to reach the divine experience”. Swamiji also has contributed to the unfolding of yoga in the West through a dynamic form of self-inquiry called the Shiva Process, “a practical and easy methodology to improve relationships, achieve personal freedom and improve the quality of everyday life”. As well as teaching yoga and meditation, the centre in Bali being run by Ms Reukers and her daughter is promoting the Cindy Soul Collection. The “unique products” being sold under the party plan concept include “Italian jewellery, yoga-inspired clothing, quality make-up and so much more”. The book by Vilasini is also being re-launched. A sanskrit dictionary defines the word vilasini as: wife; mistress; charming or lively or coquettish woman.

Traders getting set to welcome ship’s passengers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PASSENGERS aboard the P&O cruise ship Pacific Pearl visiting Mornington and the peninsula on Tuesday 24 February will get a warm welcome: members of the town’s chamber of commerce will be at the pier to greet them. The visitors will receive local tourism information and advice on nearby places of interest. Chamber staff will coax them into seeing the town’s sites and encourage them to dawdle up and down local streets taking in the scenery and atmosphere while, hopefully, spending money. The ship’s captain and crew will even be invited to a civic reception at The Rocks Restaurant in Schnapper Point Drive. The harbour town has been chosen as one of three regional ports on the iconic company’s new regional tourism itinerary. The Pacific Pearl visit is part of an eight-night cruise departing Sydney on Saturday 21 February and calling at Eden, Mornington, Portland and Kangaroo Island.

The 63,786 tonne ship is due to arrive at 9am and leave at 6pm for Portland, which is also a maiden call. It carries 1800 passengers. “Most passengers choose to do-itthemselves rather than take organised tours and we’ll be there to show them what’s on in the town,” chamber marketing and promotions manager Kim Rowe said. “Cruise lines don’t provide any real context about the towns they visit and so we’ll be there to provide it. “We are certainly lucky they are docking here and we are going to make the most of it.” The street will have a party atmosphere with an open air market between Barkley and Cromwell streets selling local, non-perishable produce, such as honey, chutneys and spices, as well as handcrafted goods and souvenirs. There will be live music, stilt walkers, Navy band, and an Instagram board where passengers can connect to social media. Traders will offer ‘passenger specials’. The Grand hotel is providing two busses to ferry passengers along Main St - and maybe have a drink or two at

the bar during the day. Leveraging off the P&O brand theme: Never a dull moment, the chamber is saying: ‘Never a dull moment - in Mornington’. This Tuesday market will not affect the traditional Wednesday Main St market, which will go ahead as usual.

The whole peninsula is set to benefit from a splurge in tourist dollars with Carnival Cruise lines arranging assorted tours, such as Mornington Explorer bus trips, relaxing at Peninsula Hot Springs, enjoying a tipple at Red Hill Estate and Green Olive, a Horseback Winery Adventure, drink at T'Gallant

Winemakers, visiting Enchanted Adventure Garden, stand up paddle boarding, Sorrento dolphin swim, snorkelling with sea dragons, dolphin sanctuary kayaking, Mornington fishing experience, and sand sculpting at Frankston.

Nepal project opens Meggan’s eyes to care OVER the summer break, Toorak College Year 11 student Meggan Banks embarked on an “eye opening” overseas experience that many of us can only dream about. Meggan participated in Projects Abroad’s two week high school volunteers’ project to Nepal – and paid her own way by working all year at a local café and umpiring netball on the Mornington Peninsula. And she says that, by helping others, she has enriched her own life. She was encouraged to apply by a teacher who knew that this would be a terrific opportunity for this bright, community-minded student. Here is Meggan’s account of her experience: “On 6 December I was lucky enough to embark on an eye-opening and lifechanging two-week volunteer trip to Nepal. With 24 other volunteers, aged 15-17, from all over the world, I was able to witness a developing country’s health system and gain observatory experience within the medical field. Projects Abroad, a not-for-profit volunteer company, hosted the twoweek special medicine and healthcare trip allowing pre-medical students, such as myself, to be immersed in the healthcare systems of Nepal, working alongside some incredible nurses and doctors. We were based at Chitwan for most of the trip, as this is a hotspot for medi-

cal centres and hospitals. For five days we rotated, visiting different hospitals in groups of five. The hospitals were a medical teaching college, specialist eye hospital, family planning clinic, cancer treatment hospital, and community health hospital. On these days we followed nurses and doctors on their patient rounds, and, on some occasions, we were fortunate to be welcomed into surgery with our own sets of scrubs. We were also given access to patients’ charts and were able to take notes on interesting cases to research in our downtime. Each group then presented one case each at the end of the week. This time in the hospitals was the main focus of our trip and, for most people, confirmed that they wanted, one day, to study to be a doctor or nurse. I found the cancer treatment hospital the most rewarding, as, along with another volunteer, we were able to watch the whole process of chemotherapy treatment for cervical cancer while a lovely English-speaking doctor talked us through the process. The middle weekend of our trip was spent at Chitwan National Park, touching the boarder of India. Here we participated in many fun and casual activities, such as a morning canoe ride, bird watching, and a beautiful fourhour safari through the national park in which we saw rhinos, elephants and many other animals.

Other days were spent visiting health posts in the local district where we observed to process of women coming in for postnatal checks and local residents receiving free vaccinations. Another day was spent at a hospital/clinic of our choice; I went to a spinal rehabilitation clinic and was able to see some interesting physiotherapy treatments: it was a highlight of my trip. Others went to either a natural therapy clinic or a care centre for disabled children. We also made a trip to a sacred retirement home beside a beautiful river. It was one of the most picturesque places I have ever visited. Throughout the trip we planned a song and dance for a dental outreach program at one of the local primary schools. On the big day we performed before the whole school, then broke up into smaller groups and explained how to brush one’s teeth properly. We also gave a toothbrush and toothpaste to each child. On the last couple of days we spent time at a rehabilitation centre for malnourished children and a care home for children with HIV/Aids. Both were rewarding experiences with the children and gave an insight into the care facilities available for children needing help. The last day was a shopping day and we cruised the local streets, most of us buying saris. We also visited a monkey temple with spectacular views across the city.”

Shire under pressure to lower rates Continued from Page 1 MPRRA president Dr Alan Nelsen said rates in the shire have gone up: ď Ž Three times the increase in the Consumer Price Index. ď Ž More than double Municipal Association of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimate of the actual rise in costs to councils. ď Ž Three times the rise in wages. ď Ž Four times the rise in pensions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Further rises, especially in the municipal charge and the likes of rubbish tip fees, impact heavily on our poor and elderly because the rises are flat charges,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is dreadfully inequitable. Efforts should be made to progressively lower the municipal charge to less than $100 and spread the ensuing cost burden to those better able to pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision not to raise the charge would have meant a $2 million income shortfall, but a plan to borrow that sum was found not to be necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The municipal charge has risen 463 per cent in the past 15 years. This must stop.â&#x20AC;? The residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association calculates that of the 40 items the Australian Bureau of Statistics uses to predict the increase in household expenditures, only water and sewerage, and electricity have increased more than council rates and charges â&#x20AC;&#x153;The accompanying council rates â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;barometerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows rate increases are out of proportion by any measure. Council and its officers should be dismayed by their performance,â&#x20AC;? Dr Nelsen states in the submission. On reining in costs, the association again points to the heavy cost burden

of Pelican Park aquatic centre in Hastings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about $8 million in a decade for a facility predicted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;possibly break evenâ&#x20AC;? over those 10 years. It calculates the shire could save substantial sums by appointing a professional manager to the aquatic and leisure centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuses [for not doing so] are woeful and totally opposite

to those claimed by other sections of the shire who maintain the council is a leader in outsourcing services,â&#x20AC;? Dr Nelsen said. Other savings the association is urging on the shire include: ď Ž A task force to seek shire staff suggestions on running the organisation more efficiently.

way to y r a n io t lu o v e r A â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s t a h t n e h c it k r renovate you â&#x20AC;Ś3 as easy as 1 â&#x20AC;Ś2

Producing simplified monthly financial reports, with a report quarterly rather than monthly. ď Ž Cutting shire magazine PeninsulaWide from four to three editions a year. ď Ž Producing realistic four-year strategic plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current unrealistic plans are a waste of money as they are not adhered to; for example, the preď Ž

dicted rate increases in the plans.â&#x20AC;? ď Ž Investigating the Safer Local Roads Program to see if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;purportedâ&#x20AC;? $65 million savings could be used to cut rates. ď Ž Investigating handing back responsibility for Rosebud foreshore to Parks Victoria, a saving of about $500,000 a year.

Have a say on budget INDIVIDUALS, community groups and businesses are invited to help develop the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015-16 draft budget, either by writing to the shire or attending a special meeting early next month. Residents can also address the meeting, to be held at the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rosebud office in Besgrove St from 4-6pm on Wednesday 11 February. Email the shire at budget@mornpen. vic.gov.au by 5pm on 10 February if you want to speak at the meeting in support of your submission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council encourages the community to provide their ideas and priorities for the coming year as council develops its draft budget for 2015-16,â&#x20AC;? mayor Bev Colomb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community will again have the opportunity to comment on the draft budget through the statutory process later in the year.â&#x20AC;? Written submissions must reach the shire by 10 February, addressed to finance manager Geoff Emberson at Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939. Online submissions can be lodged via the shire website, www.mornpen.vic.gov.au: search for â&#x20AC;&#x153;budget submissionâ&#x20AC;? then click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;2015-16 Pre-Budget Submission Formâ&#x20AC;?. Unfortunately the shire requires residents to find the downloadable form 2015-16 Budget Submission Form.docx on a different web page. Ring the shire on 5950 1000 for help locating this.

Grey skies, choppy seas no handicap for these surfers Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE sight of the little boy running excitedly up the beach and wrapping his arms around his mother’s legs before running in circles is reward enough for the 20 or so onlookers whooping and cheering him from the water’s edge. His joyful careering around in the sand reminds me of a small puppy let off the lead. It is just one small cameo enacted out on Point Leo beach on Saturday 17 January as 60 disabled surfers take to the water helped by a small army of volunteers. The Disabled Surfers Association’s

Mornington Peninsula branch is holding the first of the year’s two surfing days. Overcast skies and choppy surf fail to dim the expectations of surfers and as one surfboard after another is carried out to the breakers. Once floating on the water the surfers eagerly await a suitable wave that will carry them through a tunnel of outstretched arms to the beach. The breaking waves momentarily cover-up the boards and their passengers (a volunteer hangs on the back of every board) and just as suddenly a smiling face or hands giving the thumbs up appear. Whoops and cheers, splashes and some crashes. The day at the beach is so different to the norm, giving carers

and their charges a new lease of life. Although the DSAMP surf days are a highly organised version of what is generally a disorganised activity, there is no way of event-managing an individual’s reaction. Apprehension and fear are taken care of by the closeness of volunteers’ willing hands. From wheelchair to surfboard, the disabled surfers are surrounded by a team of coloured-coded helpers. (Grey for carers; red, team leaders; green, beach marshalls; blue, volunteers; yellow, surfers.) But the closeness of so many people cannot affect personal exhilaration. The joy and experience belong to the individual, the surfer. There is no way of reproducing the

feel or the energy of a wave. The movement of a wheelchair, or even travelling in the comfort of a moving vehicle, is light years away from the feeling that comes from lying or sitting on a board. "Despite the odd rain shower and a large swell coming up from the south east, turning our popular Lake Leo surf beach into a fairly epic wave day, it couldn't dampen the ardour of our participant surfers and smiling carers, 230 eager volunteers and our DSAMP members,” branch president Bill Hallett said. “The water was warmer than everyone thought after a cool summer build-up, so we didn't need to chip off the icicles. And because the beach

dumpers were a bit overwhelming, our surfing teams prudently moved to quieter waters down the beach. “Yes, there were a few wipeouts but our adventurous surfers weren't deterred and just asked for more.” Mr Hallett said an increasing number of younger volunteers was “a great sign of the times of our youngsters getting into community help. We believe the oldest volunteer was about 70, so it's a good day for young and old.” The next DSAMP surf day is Saturday 14 March with volunteer registrations open at 10am for an 11am start. Registration for participant surfers will open at 10am-1.30pm. Details: disabledsurfers.org/vic/ morning-peninsula-branch

Feds move to delist threatened bandicoot Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE federal Department of the Environment is trying to take the southern brown bandicoot off its threatened species list under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The move has angered conservationists in Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions. They are calling the proposal sneaky and underhanded after the department released a so-called “consultation document on listing eligibility” in early January that called for evidence by 30 January about why the bandicoot should not be delisted. Forensic zoologist Hans Brunner of Frankston and wildlife expert Mal Legg of Rosebud are leading a campaign calling on Environment Minister Greg Hunt to reject the move and retain

federal protection of the bandicoot. Mr Legg said evidence of SBB populations recovering in a couple of places in Australia was no reason to remove legal protection. “Bandicoot populations have been under threat for many years. In our region we have seen a heart-breaking decline as a succession of state governments and their agencies failed to protect the species,” he said. The federal move is the latest bad news for the iconic mammal that was once abundant in the southeast and on the peninsula. In March 2014, the Coalition state government removed habitat corridors from its plans to protect the southern brown bandicoot in the southeast (“Bandicoot corridor plan axed”, The News, 3/3/14). A proposal to create two habitat corridors, or biolinks, centred on the Royal Botanic Gardens at Cranbourne was

dumped from the final version of the Sub-Regional Species Strategy for the Southern Brown Bandicoot. One biolink was meant to run from the botanic gardens south to Western Port’s Quail Island, where until recently there was a viable population of more than 1000 bandicoots after red fox and feral cat removal in recent years (see breakout). The second was to connect the botanic gardens with Koo Wee Rup swamp and surrounds, where “tens of thousands of bandicoots live near drains, waterways, railway line reserves and on private properties”, according to Mr Legg. The move led to speculation that housing estate developers had put pressure on the government. Conservationists claim the delisting proposal is just the latest bad news from the Abbott government and shows it has low regard for native wildlife.

The federal department’s director of Marine and Freshwater Species Conservation Section said Mr Hunt would have the final say on whether the bandicoot was removed from the EPBC Act threatened species list. Mr Legg said he had “reluctantly watched the crash and local extinction of SBB populations across the southeastern suburbs of greater Melbourne and within the Western Port catchment” over the past three decades. “We lost bandicoots from sandbelt country between Oakleigh and Carrum Downs between 1980 and 2000, and the extinctions have continued to ripple further south,” he said. “Today only four populations survive – at the Royal Botanical Gardens Cranbourne, northern Western Port coastline, Quail Island and the former Koo Wee Rup Swamp.” He said moves since 2006 to protect the bandicoot had failed. “It’s likely

the bandicoot is extinct on the peninsula and in Frankston,” he said. Mr Brunner said he had watched the demise of the bandicoot in the region for more than 40 years. “The population in Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve has gone from 400 individuals in 2000 to zero. It’s a disaster,” he said. He said the southern brown bandicoot would soon experience the same fate as the eastern barred bandicoot. A captive breeding program was started when only 50 animals remained in the wild. “What is gained by delisting SBBs? Will the government be able to save some money on fox and cat control and will developers receive the green light to build houses in bandicoot habitat? We certainly have not been told everything. To declare SBBs safe because in one or two areas where fox control slightly increased their numbers is absolutely ridiculous. Take that money away and see what will happen.”

Feral pigs kill coots THE fragile state of the southern brown bandicoot in the region has been revealed by the loss of about 90 per cent of the population on Quail Island in the northwest corner of Western Port. About 200 bandicoots were discovered on the island in 2008. Mal Legg and colleagues, supported by Parks Victoria, spent several years ridding the island of foxes and feral cats, and watched bandicoot numbers grow to about 1000 animals by early 2012. When Mr Legg returned to the island last August he was devastated to discover fewer than 100 bandicoots. “They’ve been almost wiped out by feral pigs,” he said. Mr Legg claimed hunters had released a few pigs on Quail Island and there were now more than 50 damaging the environment. He said Parks Victoria pest controllers had shot 17 pigs in the past two years “but the population is again increasing”. Mr Legg said it was not illegal to hunt on Quail Island, and Parks had been trying for more than a decade to change the island’s status to “nature conservation reserve” to exclude hunters. “Parks Victoria has been stripped of its environmental funding, which means no red fox, feral pig and feral cat control will be conducted on the island. This will likely see the extinction of the Quail Island bandicoots in the next 12 mon ths.” Mike Hast

Under pressure: This southern brown bandicoot was found living in a pile of dumped concrete on the side of a road near Royal Botanical Gardens Cranbourne. Very little habitat remains due to the encroaching development, and proves the urgent need to reinstate the biolink between the gardens and Quail Island. Picture: Mal Legg

Scooter man rescued after 5m fall

Long haul: Emergency services haul the injured mobility scooter rider to safety. Pictures: Gary Sissons.

A 57-year-old man riding a mobility scooter along a track near the corner of Old Mornington Rd and Nepean Hwy, Mt Eliza, last week went too close to the edge and was thrown down a steep incline. He fell five metres through scrub, bushes and brambles and was stuck for two hours before a passing cyclist saw his overturned scooter and notified emergency services. These included Dandenong High Angle Rescue team who are equipped to handle this type of rescue. Members said it was “fairly easy to help the man out” - although they still had a lot of setting up to do to make sure

it all went well. Also attending were Frankston and Mt Eliza CFA brigades, Frankston SES, Frankston police and ambulance services. The track goes along Kackeraboite Creek and is narrow with fairly steep edges. The man would not to comment on the fall, other than to say: “I am not injured.” An ambulance officer praised him for assisting emergency services during his rescue. He was taken to hospital to treat multiple scratches and abrasions.

LETTERS Guru the victim I have just read your article on the sex guru?? Swami Shankarananda (‘Secret sex shakes yoga school’, The News 20/1/15). That whole article was a publicity stunt from those that would bring him down. It would have been good if you had got all your facts straight. Firstly: One of his disciples is trying to destroy his credibility because he wants to be a guru himself. And in our lineage you need your guru’s blessing to become a guru. As he doesn't have that he has to destroy Swamiji’s reputation which is huge and world-wide. He is recognised as one of the greatest scholars of Kashmir Shaivism (tantra). Secondly: This boy has poisoned so many with lies about Swamiji. He has exaggerated the numbers unbelievably high about the tantra partners Swamiji has had over the years, who were all willing participants and now Swamiji is trying to protect them from the ordeal of being involved in a court case. Which I myself have been through because of a personal journey of taking [a major] university to court for sexual harassment. It was a horrendous time for me. They make the innocent seem like the guilty party before resolution comes. Thirdly: Because they claim to have women who were hurt, when we know that is not true. They can only have women prepared to lie. This will come out in a court of law. Fourth: It is unethical to publish something that is not the truth. Just a weapon against Swamiji who I see as the true victim. Fifth: did you go meet Swamiji and get his side of the story? Sixth: The things he is accused of, like students having to ask permission to leave the property, was the

brain child of the ex-manager who is now working for the would be guru. He has had to take off his robes of a monk because he also had his own sexual partner? Sixth: I have been Swamiji's disciple for 35 years and I know that this is not who he is. I have held every position around him. He is a loving, caring and constantly giving person. Who asks for very little. He never asks for money from his devotees. He used his inheritance to build the Ashram. In future, before you write a story to bring someone down, you should try and get both sides of the story. Otherwise it is just gutter press. Vilasini [Rhonda Reukers], Indrahanus High Priestess, Bali Shiva Yoga

Hospital praised I have recently been widowed and, if the pain of losing your best friend isn’t enough, it’s sitting in emergency on your own in pain, looking for professionalism and care. And I got that in bucket loads, and I am so grateful. Thank you Frankston Hospital. My husband’s last breath was taken at this hospital and as they trolleyed me to the MRI department I was overcome with grief at the memories. (I even need the tissues to write this.) I have tried to be brave about everything and some days are easier than others, but I was inconsolable until the nurse came and held my hand. She thought I could be afraid, which I was, but I explained through the sobs my story. The doctor had to aspirate my hip, so it was going to hurt more than it already did. My nurse held my hand and between these two professionals I was watched and treated like I was the only person that mattered right then. The love did not stop there. The team of ward staff also treated me and

all the other sick people with due diligence and care. One by one we were all treated individually and carefully. You could see that they had all been trained very well. I have nothing but praise for this hospital and it’s wonderfully committed staff. Thank God for you all. What would we do without you? It beggars belief why this hospital gets such a bad rap. Perhaps it’s from those who only know pain and haven’t known love. Erika Proctor, Mornington

Stop the port It's not a very promising start to the new [Daniel] Andrews [Labor] government’s credibility when it uses weasel words when it comes to its promises to not go ahead with the Liberal-favoured expansion of the Port of Hastings . There was no indication of unelected authorities making assessments for or against an expanded port at Hastings during the election campaign. The Labor Party campaigned on the Mornington Peninsula against the establishment of a container port at Hastings, pure and simply. It is no wonder that ordinary people are getting fed up with the unprincipled behaviour of the two old parties. It is not only the environmentalists that are greatly concerned about this unnecessary port development, it will affect tourism and recreational fishing in a great manner as well. This insane proposal needs to be killed off right now by the premier and Minister for Ports Luke Donnellan. Again we ask of our premier "Please don’t do a Tony Abbott on us.” Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Blue ribbon day: Mary Papoutsakis was given a new car in appreciation of her 25 years with Mt Martha real estate agency Warlimont & Nutt.

Not just another day at the office OFFICE manager Mary Papoutsakis went to work at Mt Martha on Friday as she has for the past 25 years. But this time was different; her employers at estate agency Warlimont & Nutt presented her with a new car to mark her time with the company. Celebrations of her 25th anniversary of employment continued later with a cocktail party in the Victoriana Room at The Royal Hotel, Mornington. “When Mary began with us she was a single mum with two daughters who worked nights at a pizza restaurant in Mt Eliza and week days with us,” Edwina Nutt said. “She saved enough money to build her home, educate and raise her girls.” Ms Papoutsakis is a three-time win-

ner of the Australasian Real Estate’s administration controller of the year award, the Lesley Johnson award for exceptional client care and Mt Martha Rotary Club’s pride of workmanship award. “Mary is a shining example of how to provide efficient, professional and friendly customer care, and is a wonderful role model to others,” Ms Nutt said. “Her positive attitude and conscientious manner are both motivating and supportive. And her wealth of knowledge is also much admired and often called upon within the office or the community of Mt Martha. “If Mary says she will do something, she does.”

Long grass adds to fire risk â&#x20AC;&#x153;DO we wait for a fire or cut the grass?â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pointed question from Mornington man Fred Crump, a former Cranbourne Council parks and gardens worker. Mr Crump worries that neither Mornington Peninsula Shire or VicRoads are keeping checks on overgrown vegetation. He says long grass along the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old railway lines and roadsides could catch fire and lead to a disaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the height of the fire season and yet no one wants to take responsibility for long grass: they all say: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to do with usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one seems to care.â&#x20AC;? Mr Crump said long-grass in area surrounding Narambi Reserve, Robertsons Rd, Hardy St, Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Bungower Rd and the old railway line should be attended to quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contractors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use grass cutters and the grass is a metre high all along the railway line; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disaster waiting to happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Crump said he worried about losing properties and animals to fire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why allow the grass to get so high before something happens?â&#x20AC;? he asked. Mornington Peninsula shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said land forming part of the tourist railway in Mornington was slashed recently by the land managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contractor. Bungower Rd, between the school and Moorooduc Highway, will be

mown in the next two weeks, he said. It is mown four-times a year as part of the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance program. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the shire worked closely with all agencies involved in fire prevention on the peninsula and appreciated their collaboration, support and work within the community. She reminded all residents to be prepared this fire season. Shire fire prevention officers inspected properties in the lead-up to summer and during the CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s declared fire danger period to assess fire hazards on private land. Owners were notified. Shire officers have inspected 5471 properties and issued 1801 fire prevention notices. Seventy-two infringements were issued for not complying with a fire prevention notice. The penalty is $1476. Landowners must ensure they maintain their property during the entire fire danger period to ensure it does not pose a risk. They should slash grass so it is no higher than 100mm and remove fallen and dead vegetation Fire prevention officers have continued to monitor areas at Hastings, Crib Point and Bittern following the recent fires to ensure properties are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fire readyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Shire staff have also inspected 300 bushland reserves and Cr Colomb said friends groups who worked with the shire and had undergone bushfire training. Stephen Taylor

YAMMINGA is one of those rare pleasures that takes an “If only” and turns it into an “I want”. No expense has been spared in creating this stunning riviera inspired property that offers a lifestyle of absolute comfort and ease. The enchanting French-influenced gardens afford a sparkling bay view and creature comforts that adorn the 1609-square metre block include an in-ground, solar heated pool with spa as the centrepiece to a beautiful stone-flanked paved palazzo. Red wrought iron gates guard the front of the

property and once through, a gently curved driveway leads past manicured hedges and tall conifers to a double garage under the roof line. The garage has loft storage and a handy addition is the lift that takes you up to the kitchen level. The well-appointed kitchen has every convenience with an abundance of storage, a large island bench, a massive recessed space for a double door refrigerator, two wall-ovens and a walk-in pantry. A pleasant casual meals area has a wonderful view of the pool, as does a cosy

sitting area. The grand formal lounge and dining areas feature rich polished timber floors and from here you can access one of three viewing decks. The south-east wing includes one bedroom – which opens out to a second deck, another quiet sitting area, private study and a powder room with shower, making this zone quite suitable for guest quarters. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share another bathroom and the larger main bedroom has a wall of built-in robes, and a walk-in robe leads through to an ensuite.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Women’s Volunteer Reserve formed Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Brody and Mason advertise in another column that they will hold their next monthly sale in Somerville on Wednesday, February 10th. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at the Tanti Yards on Monday next, February 1st. For particulars see our advertising columns. *** CR and Mrs David Bell and family have returned to “Bariff,” Princes Hill, after spending the Xmas holidays with her sister, Mrs R. T. Picking, “Dindorbonda,” Frankston. Miss Mavis Bell, daughter of Cr David Bell, was very successful at the recent examinations, securing Dux of the Princes Hill State school (gold medal), half scholarship for the Presbyterian Ladies College, half scholarship for the Methodist Ladies College, whole scholarship for the South Melbourne College, and Government Teaching scholarship. *** WE call attention to an advertisemrent in another column of the annual general meeting of the Westernport Progress Association to be held at the hall, Hastings, on Thursday evening next. All interested, whether members or not, are invited to be present. As there are upwards of 140 members, there should be a good muster of them as well as of the general public, especially as the report of last year’s work is unusually interesting. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. report

having held an official inspection of military horses at the Mornington Corporation Yards on the 18th inst, when a good number was submitted to the Commonwealth Director of Remounts. Only four horses were rejected. Prices ranged from £15 to £26, and averaging on £20. Major Purcell expressed himself as very pleased with the quality of the horses submitted. *** ABOUT 6.30pm on Sunday Mr H. Wilson of 27 Obar street, Hawksburn, 54 years old, was bathing in the sea in the shallow water off Carrum. His wife and some friends were on the beach watching him. Suddenly Mr Wilson, who had previous been in the best of health apparently had some sort of a seizure, and collapsed. Seeing him disappear below the surface, several men went to his assistance and brought him ashore. He appeared to be in a fit. Dr Fogarty, of Chelsea, was sent for, and arrived very soon afterwards, but Mr Wilson had by then expired. Deceased was a well known cricket and football umpire and was a good swimmer. The remains were brought on Sunday night by Constable Gunn to the morgue. *** THE task of inspecting and mapping out the roads throughout the country parts of the state, says the ‘Age’, which was entered upon by the Country Roads Board shortly after its appointment, will be completed in the course

of the next five or six weeks. The board will thereafter be in a position to complete its classification, and to determine finally the thoroughfares which it will have proclaimed as main roads, and the subsidiary roads it will assist to reconstruct and maintain. The board will also be able to inform the government whether the financial provision originally made will be sufficient to cover the improvement and care of the state’s roads. *** THE marriage of Alice Thornell and Mr Richardson was celebrated at Somerville on Wednesday last. Full particulars will appear in our next issue. *** ON Sunday next the Parish Festival will he held at St Paul’s Church, Frankston, the preacher for the occasion both morning and evening being the Rev Perry Martin. Special music will be rendered in the evening by Mr Earp’s Quartett Party. On Saturday 6th February a social will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, by St Pauls Club, when two farces, entitled “Alphorse” and “Turn Him Out.” will be staged as well as other items. The whole night will wind up with a supper and short dance. *** THE friends of Mr Blyth, Pier master, of Williamstown, who was station master at Frankston about 20 years ago, will regret to hear of the sudden death of his wife which occurred at his residence on Thursday night last. Mrs P. Wheeler, (wife of Mr Wheeler, who has lately taken over Mr Chamber-

lin’s Pharmacy business, at Frankston), who is the only daughter, was informed of the sad occurence on Friday morning, and was much shocked, as it was totally unexpected. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason, local auctioneers, advertise under the sales column an extensive sale of household furnishings, on behalf of Mrs Crockett who has leased her property and is leaving the district. This sale will include a very extensive list of up to date furnishings, conmmencing at 1.30 p.m on Wednesday the 17th. On Wednesday the 3rd the same firm will conduct the usual bi-weekly market in their rooms Bay street, Frankston and on the 10th at Somerville the usual monthly market, where a good yarding is booked. *** THE first case of prosecutions by the Dandenong council against persons who permit brush fences to surround their property, was heard at the Cheltenham Police Court on Wednesday of last week when Mr A. H. Sharp was charged with not having removed such fences after seven days notice had been served on him by Inspector Shelly. The bench held that an offence had the been committed, and fined the accused. Mr Keley appeared on behalf of the council. *** THE concert programme for next Monday in the Frankston Mechanics Hall promises to be one of the best. There is a good sprinkling of humour and merriment among a feast of really

good music. Miss Noel Geddes, the dainty little singer of songs at the piano; Miss Daisy Gove, a charming ballad singer; and Mr Syd Stewart comedian are popular melbourne artists supporting “We Four”, the quartette whose combined harmony is equal to anything of its kind in the world. *** MANY Englishwomen have determined that they shall not be found unprepared should England be suddenly invaded. They are therefore forming a Women’s Volunteer Reserve which, in case of need, will be ready to assist authorities in various ways, such as by carrying dispatches, signalling, cooking, motoring, riding etc. The age limit is 40 and medical examinations will have to be passed. Several branches have been formed in various countries, while four companies of women have started drilling. Lady French is the Hon Colonel of the Essex and Hereford battalion. *** SHEPHERDS and others who spend much time in the open air say that we may always know when it will rain by watching the ways of animals. Thus, if donkeys bray more often than usual, or they hang their ears downwards and forwards and rub against walls, rain will come on. When cats sneeze, look out for rain. It will be rainy if the dogs eat grass or be drowsy or stupid. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 30 January, 1915.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

It’s 2015: All Systems are Goat! By Stuart McCullough THANK goodness that’s over. For there’s no polite way to say this but, fact is, 2014 kind of sucked. I, for one, am happy to see the back of it. But now there’s a new year to contend with. As the Christmas tree gently rusts in the corner of the lounge and the last of the leftovers are either eaten or evolve into penicillin, it’s worth taking stock. The start of a brand new year is, after all, a time for optimism. There’s a lot to look forward to in the coming year. For starters, 2015 sees us embark on the Year of the Goat. Before you say, ‘you’re kidding’, let me say: About time! It succeeds the far-less interesting Year of the Paperclip. To dedicate an entire year to a kind of stationery may be practical but it’s also inescapably dull. But Year of the Goat is an entirely different bowl of curds altogether. If Year of the Goat doesn’t put a little spring in your step, then I don’t know what will. I’ve no idea how the year will be marked. Whether a small cloven hoofed creature will be crowned King of Moomba or acknowledged by way of a commemorative coin – it’s up to us to make the most of it. So how, precisely, should we squeeze the most out of the year to come? I’m not much for resolutions. History tells us that most resolutions involve declaring that you will never do again the very thing you’re doing at that moment. That’s why New Years Eve is, frankly, something of a fraud. There are some campaigns, however, I should now abandon. My push to get

PAGE 46

Twitter to downsize from one hundred and forty characters down to three is unlikely to get traction. To say that the #shh campaign has been a colossal failure would be generous. This year, I need a new challenge. I think I know just where to start… Last year, David and Margaret stopped hosting ‘At the Movies’. They claimed they were retiring but, secretly, I suspect the release of the most recent ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ movie was simply the straw that broke the camel’s back. At the time, ABC said they wouldn’t be replaced and the program would end. Truth be told, that decision was short sighted and ought

Mornington News 27 January 2015

to be revisited. And what better time for the national broadcaster to reconsider this decision that the start of a new year? I can understand why they might be reluctant. You can’t just grab two people and hope to recapture the magic of David and Margaret. That’s like hoping lightning will strike twice. How do you replace people who are, frankly, irreplaceable? Simple. You’ve got to choose people who are the complete and total opposite of everything their predecessors stood for. There comes a time when you must think outside the box. In fact, you should think so far outside the box that it takes you the best part of the day to

get there. It’s a scientific fact that any movie worth its salt deserves a sequel. Just ask the folks over at Police Academy. It’s only right and proper that a runaway success like ‘At the Movies’ should have a sequel of its own. I’d suggest ‘At the Movies 2: Electric Boogaloo’. As for the new hosts, they’ll obviously need to have strong opinions on all matters cinematic. There’s no room for the wishy-washy. There is, I feel, an obvious candidate. In recent months, one person has emerged who fulfils exactly the required criteria. I speak, of course, of Kim Jong-Un. North Korea’s beloved supreme leader (hold the anchovies) and part time amateur pigeon fancier Kim Jong-Un knows a thing or two about movies. Firstly, he has undeniably strong opinions. No one could be left in any doubt that he was not a fan of Seth Rogen’s ‘The Interview’. Second, he knows the movie industry inside out, having studied in the innerworkings of Sony so closely. The cinema also happens to be something of a family tradition. His dad, Kim Jong-Il, was a bona fide film nut, with more than twenty thousand videos and DVDs who even wrote a book entitled On the Art of the Cinema. Kim Jong-Un’s older brother, Kim Jong-Nam, fell out of favour after he planned a trip on a fake passport to Tokyo Disneyworld. Clearly, you can be too big a fan of The Lion King. These guys take their movies very seriously indeed. But who to pair with him? His father

would be ideal, but has to be disqualified on the grounds of having already shuffled off the mortal coil, although a Weekend at Bernie’s-style arrangement should not be entirely ruled out. I’m going to go with Vladimir Putin. Not because I think he knows anything about the subject matter. More that if we occupy him by sending him to the flicks, maybe he’ll be less inclined to occupy others. Like the Ukraine. Besides, to the best of my knowledge, At the Movies was never hosted shirtless and if there’s one thing that Vlad does better than anyone, it’s get his kit off when there are cameras rolling. Together, they’ll be dynamite. Frankly, I can’t wait to see them. As for the rest of 2015, there are lots of questions that only time will answer. Will we be happier, safer and kinder? Can we, despite our differences, find a way to get along? And does anyone understand why Family Feud exists? These are just some of the great imponderable mysteries of the universe. It’s quite alright if the answers don’t spring to mind. Although, that said, anyone connected to Family Feud owes the rest of humanity an apology. In writing and, preferably, delivered on bended knee. As for me, I’ll take 2015 as it comes. But I will allow myself one, small promise. This year, I resolve to go to the movies more often. I’m sure Kim and Vlad feel the same way. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Rosebud actor Steve Bastoni is probably best known for his television roles in Police Rescue, Neighbours, and Prisoner, but he has acted in nearly thirty feature films as well as starring stage roles in Sydney and Melbourne theatrical productions. A passionate supporter of burgeoning acting and filmmaking talents, Bastoni established the Peninsula Short Film Festival in 2011. This year’s PSFF screens February 7. I spoke to him just prior to the premiere of his latest film, The Water Diviner. PEARL: How did you get into film? BASTONI: I was at Lynall Hall, an alterative School in Brunswick. I was asked to audition for a short film called “Skipping Class” that I had been unwittingly researching for some time. At the premiere of that 40-minute film (produced by Trout Films) I was approached by an agent and asked if I wanted representation. I said, “ Whatever

I L

that is, it sounds good.” Then, I started working. PEARL: What do you enjoy doing most, film, theatre or television? BASTONI: I like them all for different reasons…my favourite medium is theatre because of the immediacy of the audience response, but film is great because you reach a much wider audience and you’ve got the added benefit of the second take. I love film. I’ve just recently done a film that I’m really proud of called The Water Diviner. It came out on Boxing Day. PEARL: Tell us a bit about that film… BASTONI: One of the film’s writers, Andrew Anastasios found a letter from a British general who reported in his diary that he’d received a visit from a NSW farmer searching for his two sons who’d died on the fields of Gallipoli. He just turned up three years after the war looking for his boys. From that grew this incredible epic story. I play a Turkish

man so 90% of my dialogue was in Turkish. I had to learn the language. I got to go to Istanbul twice, a week of researching and a week filming, but we shot most of it in Fox Studio in Sydney. PEARL: What do you think are the distinguishing features of Australian film? BASTONI: We tend to tell stories about ourselves. A lot of the Aussie films are about how wonderfully quirky and oddball we are. It’s either that or the crime/cop genre – the romanticized crim genre. We seem to be stuck in that pattern. Things are changing. There is more focus on international audiences so more interesting material is coming out. PEARL: What inspired you to start the Peninsula Short Film Festival? BASTONI: I was sitting right here (in Betty’s Café, Rosebud) talking about how to engage my acting students in opportunities to practice their craft. The conversation turned to short film. “We should start a short

film festival down here,” I said. I looked out and saw this carving of Fred Whittaker. I’ll take a photo of that and it can be the logo. We had our first screening in here in 2011. We did the next one at Village Green and it’s doubled in size every year. PEARL: Why short film? BASTONI: It’s accessible to everybody. Nowadays you can shoot a quality short on a mobile phone. Film is a very expensive medium so to be able to do it with domestic equipment and still practice your craft levels the playing field. From an audience point of view there’s something for everyone. If you don’t like it, in eight minutes they’ll be something new and it’s a good way to unearth emerging talent. PEARL: You have a short film in this upcoming festival. What’s it about? BASTONI: It’s not in competition, but I was commissioned to write

and direct a short film to raise awareness about binge drinking amongst young people on the Peninsula. Hopefully it will have the desired impact and get people talking about a serious problem down here. PEARL: What kind of films do you like? BASTONI: I like films that have some kind of message. I like stuff that challenges me and makes me feel something. I think it’s important to make people feel, particularly in an age where we’ve become so desensitized. It’s important to reach people on that emotional level and hopefully make people think and talk about something. I think film should beautiful. See Bastoni in The Water Diviner or at the Peninsula Short Film Festival at Village Green, Rosebud on Saturday, February 7 from 4 pm. Films screen at 7pm. ANDREA LOUISE THOMAS

wilson & white A FEW years ago, fab harmonica player, Matthew White was walking past Blue Note Music in Wells St, Frankston when he heard awesome music drifting down the stairs. It lured him in and to his surprise discovered Troy Wilson playing in and running his regular Saturday blues workshop. Impressed with what he heard, they instantly hit it off and realizing they had the same love of 20s and 30s along with 50s Chicago blues music, they decided to get together and perform. Their very first band was called King Catfish and had five members and was impressive. After they disbanded, they each went their own way, however, Wilson and White continued on as a duo and have been honing and perfecting their exciting groove ever since. When White is not being the full time teacher and a proud new dad, he spends the rest of his time gigging with Wilson. White’s supurb harp playing is awesome and he does justice to his ole time favorites like Sunnyboy Williamson and Charlie Musselwhite when playing their songs. Wilson on the other hand is a professional full time muso and teaches music therapy in schools and to kids about to commence advanced rehab. Says Wilson, “It kind of helps wind them down and often helps channel their creative energy into a project which in turn helps them feel positive about themselves.” Wilson is hoping to record a couple of live songs at the Peninsula

Blues Club in Frankston soon with the eventual intention of releasing a CD in the middle of 2015, so keep a look out for this. Although both may ponder going solo at some stage in their careers, at the moment Wilson and White are coasting along nicely, getting repeated gigs at various festivals and venues around the burbs and city. “It’s what we love doing and it gives us great satisfaction seeing punters enjoying us playing the traditional songs.” Says Wilson. The guys certainly look the part with the established wearing of dark sunnies, hat, and cool attire. Especially White’s bowler hat that looks so imperturbable and perfectly suitable on him. He jokes, “It’s basically a homage to my favorite harp player, Sunnyboy Williamson. As a black man travelling from America to England for the first time, he was astounded at being treated respectfully by the English. In America black musicians didn’t have this respect. So he decided to always wear a triple breasted suit, jacket, bowler hat and an umbrella over his arm, as a mark of respect towards the English. I wear my bowler hat as a remembrance to him,” smiles White. The boys say Melbourne has become a mecca for the blues in the last few years and people are enjoying the resurgence. No doubt this is awesome news for blues muso’s and punters alike. For inquiries, gigs and bookings please go tohttp://troywilson.com. au Terri Lee Fatouros

Gee Ryan splashes his colour at merricks house art gallery WOW! Colour, colour, colour .. like you’ve never seen it before! And the Mornington Peninsula .. like you’ve never seen it before! This sums-up the paintings of Gee Ryan (Gerald). And Merricks House Art Gallery at Merricks General Wine Store is bringing Gee’s art to the public’s attention for the first time, with this knock-yoursocks-off exhibition from Saturday 7 February (12.30pm opening) to Monday 23 March. Although Gee’s works have been acquired by his former law firm and several very knowledgable art collectors, this is the first opportunity for the public to view them. And the decision by leading Merricks House Art Gallery to give Gee a six weeks solo run shows its confidence in the works. The gallery is backing its judgement. Explaining his art, former top lawyer Gee said, “I’ve painted naturally since childhood. And in my lawyering days, whenever I could make the time, I

picked up my paint brushes and was transported to another realm.” “Our stunningly beautiful Mornington Peninsula has a similar transporting effect on those of us who are fortunate enough to holiday or live here”, he said. Gee is primarily interested in colour. And this extraordinary use of colour invites viewers to celebrate both the everyday and the mysteries that surround us. Gee explained, “My paintings are joyful. They are also mysterious. I see each painting as having its own soul .. it’s not my soul, it’s the painting’s soul .. and I’m hoping this soul will connect with the souls of viewers.” Gee’s art reflects his belief that we all need to love one another and care for our planet. This belief lies at the heart of the works. “The paintings are uplifting .. they are the opposite to the images we receive from all parts of the world on our nightly television news”, he added. The historic Merricks House Art

Gallery adjoins the equally historic Merricks General Wine Store, with its renowned bistro and exquisite Baillieu, Elgee Park and Quealy wines. Based on sales made since May 2014, when Gee first decided to start selling his works, the prices of the paintings are from $1,500 for the small ones through to $7,500 for the large ones. And his captivating handmade, signed, archival prints (giclée technique) are $485. The Gallery would like lovers of art and lovers of the Mornington Peninsula to come to opening drinks and meet Gee on Saturday 7 February at 12.30pm or to view the exhibition at a later date. The Gallery and General Store bistro are located at 3460 Frankston - Flinders Road, Merricks. The Gallery is open daily from 9am to 5pm. And if you would like to make a booking in the bistro, the number is (03) 5989 8088.

A&E

With just two decades of air under his belt this young man hasn’t wasted a breath. He is a man of many talents, graphic designer, dj, producer, label owner, parttime alco’ and a businessman, the only thing stopping him is the fact he can’t clone himself to get more out of the day. Holding a residency at Tramp and gracing the airwaves at Kiss FM - his poison is House and Techno. Last year he launched his own label, Recovery Collective which has recently put out its 14th release and is currently holding the number one title (and has been for a few consecutive weeks) on Beatport’s minimal charts with the tune Three, Two, One. This month we spoke to the Peninsula’s very own Jiay Mills about his never ending battery pack and how many Baroccas he does per day. How did you get into the industry and start DJing? My Dad’s been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. I grew up with him being a DJ and entertainment agent, I used to run around his nightclubs during the day at only about 5 or 6 years of age, throughout the years I’ve been involved with his company in various ways. I’ve been DJ’ing for about 3 years now and now hold a residency at Tramp Saturdays – but have also previously run a muck at few of the watering holes both local and interstate. What else do you do apart from DJing? I’ve just finished my Graphic Design course at Swinburne and have been running my own graphics business for the past two years and have done artwork for a lot of clubs in Melbourne. I also work for PEARL magazine which started back in 2012 – starting with basic design work whilst I was still in school and then I moved onto creating the BPM section once I had got more involved in the club scene... or was legally allowed to anyway. In August I launched my own House and Techno record label with a close friend (Benny Mac), and this was the birth of Recovery Collective. A label comprising of quality undiscovered music from up and coming artists that deserve more recognition. We have just signed our 17th release, from not only local and national artists but also over the seas in Brazil, Ukraine, Italy and Germany. We have had a few releases go well in the charts. At the moment we have held the #1 slot on Beatport Minimal Charts for about a month now with Sonny Moko’s release ‘Three Two One’ which is going really strong, and will be releasing a pretty solid remix EP soon featuring mixes by Prosdo, TomNTys, Less Is Moar & City Keys. Who influences you musically? On a large scale, international artists like Huxley, Eats Everything, Catz ‘n Dogz,

Format B, Thomas Schumacher, Booka Shade, Maceo Plex, Boris Brejcha, Alex Stein, Oliver Huntemann and Groove Delight - but I also think that a few of the big local House & Techno vikings also play a pretty big part. I have been getting into a bit of Kalya Scintilla and Opiuo too but they’re on a completely different page haha. Any stand out gigs from last year? My number one gig from last year would have to be one of the few Earthcore sets I got to play, probably my solo set Friday arvo when everyone was still fresh, hadn’t smashed it too hard (yet) and the weather was perfect – playing at outdoor festivals is mental, the vibe and environment are something different. Either that or my set from Beyond The Valley on New Years, I ended up playing about 8 hours over the course of the week which was pretty fun. I also played my first international gig in December: Ultraglow Bali, to a pretty much full main arena at Sky Garden - not sure of the venue capacity but I’m pretty sure there was a few thousand there and the most I’ve ever played to. Also supported artists such as Seth Troxler, Thomas Jack, Cause & Affect, FiveAm and more… What will you getting up to this year, producing some of your own tracks? Between being so busy with the label, the magazine, all my graphics work, a full time uni course, djing and getting loose whenever I get the chance - I haven’t really had much time to dive headfirst into production as much as I would have liked to, I have been looking forward to the year finishing and finally getting some tunes polished off. Have just finished a colab with Benny Mac ‘Close To You’ featuring vocals from Alex Latham, and have probably another 4 or 5 tracks sitting at a pretty much finished stage which I’m really looking forward to putting out. What’s on for 2015? So far… I’ve been locked in to play Rainbow Serpent with the fellas from the Welcome To The Jungle Themed Camp, and the few interstate gigs locked in for Feb in Adelaide and Sydney. If all goes to plan I should hopefully be moving to Ibiza to work over there for the summer season, from May through ‘til October, where I would be doing a range of things: playing, helping hand at club events and boat parties, event photography, graphic design and online marketing - just in the process of going through interviews and stuff at the moment, fingers crossed hey. How many Baroccas per day? None, more bevs. www.soundcloud.com/jiay-mills www.recoverycollective.com.au Mornington News 27 January 2015

scoreboard

Baxter hits the top PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER shot to the top of the MPCA Provincial ladder on Saturday after beating Heatherhill outright. Heatherhill resumed its second innings at 0/19, still 48 runs behind Baxter’s first innings total. The Hills batted first on day one of the clash and made just 94 in 36.2 overs. Baxter came out firing and quickly made 8/161 in 35 overs before having another crack at the Hills late on the first day. The second innings was marginally better than the first for the Hills, making 109 in 39.3 overs, however it was never going to be enough to save the game. Chamika Sattambi backed up his four first innings wickets with 4/28,

while Dale Irving, Brad Holton and Ben Smith all claimed a couple each. Baxter needed just 7.2 overs to get the winning runs, Shane McComb blasting five fours on his way to an unbeaten 30. Langwarrin’s season come to a screaming halt on Saturday after it was smashed by Long Island. As predicted, Langwarrin’s brittle batting line up failed to make any inroads into Long Island’s first innings total of 196. Islanders’ superstar Scott Phillips has been terrorising Langwarrin batsmen for more than a decade and he succeeded yet again on Saturday. Opening the bowling, Phillips bowled 19 overs, finished with six maidens and figures of 4/23. Only two Langwarrin batsmen made it to double figures, Mark Cooper scoring 20 and Matt Prosser

21. The convincing win keeps the Islanders in fourth place on the table, just percentage ahead of Mornington. The Doggies are still very much in the hunt for back-to-back flags after smashing third placed Peninsula Old Boys. Mornington restricted the Old Boys to a little under two runs an over in their first innings, keeping them to 105 in 58 overs. Mornington had to face the last 22 overs of the day on day one and managed to get through relatively unscathed. The Dogs resumed at 1/40 and ended up cruising to victory, eventually all out for 178. Ben Clements was superb batting at three, smacking eight fours on his way to 80, while Luke Popov

provided sensational support with 25. Michael Heib was also very good at the end, adding a handy 21. Mornington actually won the match with seven wickets still in hand. Mt Eliza enjoyed a rare celebration this season with a victory against Moorooduc. It appeared the Ducs had inflicted more 2014/15 pain on the Mounties after scoring 6/251 in their first innings last week, however, led by Craig Entwhistle with 86, the home side was able to hunt down the total. Mt Eliza finished its innings at 8/259. Sorrento was unconvincing in its win against Crib Point but nonetheless, come away with the 12 points. The Sorras resumed its innings at 2/39 after bowling out the Magpies

for 121. Corey Harris went on to score 39 after resuming on 15 while Nick Jewell was trapped in front by Luke Herrington for nine. Mick Dunball scored 32 and Leigh Poholke 22 in the middle order to ensure the home side scored the winning runs. Herrington and Brad Davidson each claimed two wickets. Pines scraped over the line against Rye, thanks to some superb bowling from left arm quick Alex Coad. Coad, who was the hottest new bowler on the peninsula three seasons ago, found some of that old form and carved-up the Rye batting line-up, finishing with 6/25. It was enough to give Pines victory, 107 to 102.

Seaford still in the mix DISTRICT By IT Gully SEAFORD has kept its MPCA District season alive with a superb win against arch rival Seaford Tigers. The Tigers appeared to have the upper hand in the clash heading into day two, however a superb knock from Damien Lawrence got the home side across the line. Seaford won the toss on day one and sent the Tigers into bat. It looked like a good move when they had the opposition 4/30 and 5/59, however, the Tigers scrambled to 9/236, thanks largely to 77 from skipper David James and more than 100 runs from the tail. Seaford was in all kinds of bother when Paul Hartle was the fifth man out with the score on 33 on day two. When Nick Simpendorfer was sent packing just nine runs later, Seaford looked gone. However, Lawrence was joined at the crease by Dil Pageni (24) and together they were able to swing the pendulum. While Pageni was great support, there was much more needed for Lawrence. Tailenders Andy McMannis (27) and Matthew Herbert (32) provided wonderful backup to Lawrence, who finished unbeaten on 87. Corey Hand was sensational for the Tigers with 6/74. The loss saw the Tigers lose touch with the top four while Seaford remain in equal four position. It’s official, Delacombe Park is gone! Last year’s grand finalists and flag favorites have no chance to play finals this season after going down to Somerville. Chasing 210 for victory, the Parkers fell 19 runs short, despite an unbeaten 117 from Nick Christides. Matthew Roach was the match winner for the Eagles, claiming 5/45, while Russell Wilkes picked-

PAGE 52

up 4/62. Hastings pulled off one of the wins of the season, successfully defending its ordinary total of 113 against Main Ridge. The Ridge resumed its inning at 3/43 and looked to have enough batting to get the job done. However, Carey Sawosz tore through the Ridge batting line and finished with 5/51, giving him 23 wickets for the season. Sawosz worked in tandem with Luke Hewitt, who bowled 11.5 overs and finished with 4/20. Jason Albress top scored for the home side with 18. Mt Martha needed to produce something special with the ball on Saturday to defend its 167 against top of the table Red Hill and while they were very good, they weren’t good enough. Everything seemed to be going according to plan for the Reds when they had the Hillmen 6/98. Simon Dart was back in the sheds also. However, the tail had plenty of wag with Brent Martin scoring 44 and Nick Esipoff 37 to guide their side home. Curtis Stone was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers with 4/80 from 29 overs. Carrum all but locked away its place in the top four with a convincing win against Baden Powell. Chasing 216 for the win and to keep their very slim finals aspirations alive, the Braves were rolled for just 90. Campbell Ak was the best of the Lions’ bowlers with 4/23, while Liam Dobson and Jackson Fry each claimed two wickets. Looking for the outright, Carrum sent the Braves straight back in, however, could only claim two second innings wickets. Rhys Elmi made an unbeaten 51 in the second dig.

The Saints are on the come back SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully BALNARRING’S season came alive in MPCA Sub District cricket on Saturday after it won outright against Skye. The Saints started the match in sixth position and 20 points behind fourth place. However, the outright win sent them to fifth place on the table, just one game behind Carrum Downs. Balnarring bowled out Skye for 88 on day one before posting a quick fire 7/168. Skye fared much better on day two and managed to score 161 with Rob Gruar top scoring with 71. This left Balnarring 84 for victory. Ben King hit 45 to help the Saints to 3/91 and to an outright victory. Frankston YCW was the big casualty on Saturday, convincingly beaten by Carrum Downs. Defending 187, the Cougars bowled out the Stonecats for just 100. Jack Greenwood was the only shining light for the visitors with 31 while Sammy Preston was unbeaten on 15. Chris Maloney was the pick of the Cougars bowlers with 4/30 while Stuart Swift took his season’s tally to 23 wickets after picking-up 3/32. Dromana headed into day two of its match against Ballam Park

chock full of confidence, defending a season-high 194. However, it proved to be 70 runs short of what they needed, the home side finishing on 9/252. Matthew Moore top scored for the Knights with 57 while Zac Clements hit 40. Zac Klan was the best of the Hoppers’ bowlers with 3/65. Pearcedale dropped back to the pack after going down to Tyabb. Set 153 for victory, the Panthers went agonisingly close, falling short by two runs (151). Gavin Moore top scored with 47, Chris Dew hit 35 and Kaine Smith made 29, however, no other batsmen fired a shot. Three batsmen were out for ducks. Ben Raeside was the match winner for the Yabbies, picking up 7/42 from 17 overs. The Panthers are still on top of the ladder, however, are now equal with second placed Tootgarook and third placed Rosebud. The Tooters smashed Rosebud on Saturday, rolling the visitors for just 86. Defending 9/226, the Frogs made light work of the Buds, despite 38 from Paul Cashin. Tootgarook sent the Buds back in in search of an outright victory, however, called it quits after the Buds got to 2/61.

GRAEME POWELL MAZDA FRANKSTON Free Rego on all 2014 PLATE exit vehicles the All-new

M{zd{ 2

has arrived! from

Mazda CX-5 just got better AUSTRALIA’S most popular SUV has just received a significant facelift with the New Mazda CX-5 getting a host of interior, exterior and safety improvements that are expected to continue Australia’s passion for this vehicle. Since arriving in February 2012, the Mazda CX-5 has taken the country by storm. It has sold almost 1,700 units per month since launch, with total vehicle sales now approaching 60,000 sales. On sale from February 1, the New Mazda CX-5 has evolved with some sharp internal and external styling changes; the introduction of new i-ACTIVSENSE technologies takes safety to a new level, whilst improved dynamics make driving even more enjoyable. The New CX-5 now features MZD Connect, Mazda’s advanced next-generation car connectivity system, that includes a seven-inch touch screen display operated by a centrally located commander control knob. Further updates and additions to the New CX-5 comprise a wide array of both driving and safety features including Mazda’s first-ever electric parking brake and the introduction of many new i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies:  Adaptive LED Headlamps (ALH) improve visibility at night  Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) supports the driver in steering the car  Driver Attention Alert (DAA) monitors how the driver performs at speed  Smart City Brake Support (Forward/Reverse) (SCBS F/R) adds rearward detection to help reduce the likelihood of an accident  New Mazda CX-5 also offers Smart Brake Support (SBS) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control The New CX-5 will continue to lead the pack thanks to an elegant new exterior design. The CX-5’s front-end has been re-imagined, offering a design that is bolder and tauter than its predecessor.

The front grille mesh has been replaced with five horizontal fins; front head and fog lamps and rear combination lamps use LEDs, there is a newly designed 19 inch wheel that includes five paired spokes and there are two new CX-5 colours, Sonic Silver Metallic and Titanium Flash Mica. While these upgrades make New CX-5 even more stylish, it is its driving and handling that sets it apart from the competition. Changes to the CX-5’s suspension system offers a smoother, flatter ride, while NVH has been improved thanks to ‘path-blocking and concentrated sound absorption’. An outing is further enhanced with the addition of Drive Selection which switches drive modes for a more responsive drive. The New CX-5 continues to be powered by ground-breaking SKYACTIV technology that delivers both driving enjoyment and great fuel efficiency. There are three powertrain choices available, the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 litre and 2.5 litre petrol engines and the SKYACTIV-D 2.2 litre diesel engine – which all offer clever i-stop technology to contribute to fuel efficiency across the entire CX-5 range. In a further win for buyers - thanks to the new Japan Free Trade Agreement - prices for the New CX-5, even with an abundance of new equipment, have decreased. The entry grade CX-5 Maxx with SKYACTIV-G 2.0 litre engine and SKYACTIV-MT 6-speed manual transmission had a Manufacturer’s List Price (MLP) from $27,800 when it was launched in February 2012; the New CX-5 equivalent has an MLP from $27,190 – a reduction of $610. With a range of new options now also available, there is a New CX-5 for everyone. For more information, including pricing, visit your local Mazda dealer.
