AUSTRALIA DAY 2015 Mahalia brings her soul to Mornington THE last time Mahalia Barnes visited the peninsula she was doing support gigs for her famous dad, Jimmy, but she can’t wait to get back here in January to perform at the Mornington Australia Day concert.

The headline act for the concert in Mornington Park, Mahalia and the Soul mates will perform just prior to the fireworks.

“I have done mostly support gigs down here but been down here a fair bit with my dad over the years. It’s been a few years since I’ve been here and I’m really looking forward to it,” says Mahalia, who has been touring with her dad celebrating his 30-year solo career.

“I was always going to get into the industry and would have started earlier if I could,” says Mahalia, who began as a backup singer for her dad at 15.

“It started when I was old enough to be coming away on the weekends, but I always loved singing and was lucky to be given the opportunity. It still blows me away how at every gig my dad still gives it everything he’s got.

I’m lucky enough to be able to work with him and he gives me something to aspire to.”

Mahalia says her famous family are all still very close.

“We are all doing music and we share a lot together. This Christmas we will have about 60 to 70 there so it’s a big family occasion,” says Mahalia, who is just wrapping up her last week of shows before the new year.

“I will get time off over Christmas but love making music.”

Being married to musician Ben Rodgers, the musical tradition is being carried on with their five year old daughter, Ruby, already showing an interest in performing.

“She is so musical, we did a show the other day in Nagambie and she was there with us. One minute she was sitting at the side of the stage and next thing I know was standing there

with a microphone and sang a song.

She sings all the time and dances and just loves music,” says the proud mum.

“We’ve always tried to have her with us but as she has started school this has been the first year we couldn’t tour with her. She loves being around the music and the shows but she loves school as well so were lucky enough to have a big family and have friends who help us. I still

miss her so much when we are away though.”

Mahalia is as natural with motherhood as she is with the way she lives her life.

“It is the best thing in the world.

I love being a parent and she’s an amazing girl, giving me inspiration.

Being her mum has made me want to be better.”

One of the most publicised transformations Mahalia has gone through since having her daughter was her weight loss success and her journey with Weight Watchers.

“I was the ambassador for the Weight Watchers brand from October 2012, and dropped 30 kgs. I am still maintaining my goal weight. It’s not like gong on a diet. I feel like I learnt a whole new way to eat and to cook and to live. I think I have more options with my cooking and give it more thought now. I loved that the program is so flexible. You don’t have to eat the same thing every day,” says the self confessed foodie.

Mahalia and the Soul mates will play a mixture of songs from the new album that will be released in February, to old faves, rock and roll and blues.

“We decided on our set list when we are in the moment. It is a very organic process for us,” she says. “We have all worked together for many years now, and these are truly the most amazing musicians.”

For Mahalia, even though she has grown up surrounded by music it is

still surreal that she gets to sing for a living.

“I feel so lucky even after 17 years as a professional singer that I am able to do this,” she says. “It is important to do what you love and I know that makes me a better mum as well, and able to give my child more.”

As for Mahalia’s sojourn onto The Voice Australia 2012, she says it was a wonderful experience.

“I was asked to audition and liked the concept that they wouldn’t know who I was. It was a great opportunity to sing and be judged on my sound, not on being Jimmy Barnes’s daughter,” she says. “I had a lot of great friends involved and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity. I was blown away by the support from the public as well.”

For all those looking to have a career in the music industry, Mahalia has this to say: “It’s a really tough industry but it is the best job if you are doing what you love. Be prepared to work really hard and don’t do it for fame.

Do it because it is your passion and remember why you started. No matter how many people you are playing too, whether it is an audience of 30 or a huge crowd, always do your best job, give it everything and you will be satisfied with your work.”

Solid advice from a woman who has been given the best start in life, following in the footsteps, and possibly philosophy, of her famous rocker father, Jimmy Barnes.

AUSTRALIA DAY 2015 Local boys make good on Australia Day KEEPING the local flavour, this Australia Day will see Mornington Peninsula band, Facades bring their powerfully energetic Indie-rock sound to Mornington park stage. With over seven years of playing experience together, the trio decided to launch their sound to the public in June 2014 and have developed a passion for a strong and dynamic live performance.

Facades drummer, Lachlan Wyatt, says the band will play a selection from their self-titled album to be released in February.

The Facades are sure to get audiences up and dancing with their fanatical stage presence, the solid rock grooves and funky breakdowns.

The peninsula lads met at school where their love of music brought them together.

“We all met at Flinders College, “says 20 year old Lachlan. “I was in year 10 and Tim Gordon (bass guitar) and Matt Harrison (guitar) were a year above me. We started a project together but it was when we were out of high school that we started taking it seriously.”

Since then the boys have finally agreed on a name for the band, and started booking gigs on a regular basis.

“It took a few months to decide on a name and we came up with Facades because it represents what we don’t want to have. We are committed to having our music represent ourselves, with our major influences in the Indie Rock genre like Arctic Monkeys, Foals, The Kooks and The Wombats,” says Lachlan.

Facades will be performing at the Australia Day celebrations in Mornington Park at 5.30pm.

Main Stage live entertainment will be hosted

by Pete and Ange from RPP FM’s ‘The Breakfast Scoop”, starting at 3.15pm with The Mighty bUZZniks, Tony Byrne and the Peninsula Allstars at 4.15, Facades at 5.30, Waz E.James Band at 7pm, and Mahalia Barnes and The Soul Mates at 8.15pm.

Winner’s pose: Rye Gift winner Paul Tancredi.

One year gives edge to Diamond winner Story and photos Barry Irving TAYLAH Perry, 19, of Ringwood, turned on a blistering burst of speed to win this year’s Maw Civil and Bendigo Bank 120 metre Women’s Diamond event at Rye on Saturday.

The men’s event - the Maw Civil 120 metre Rye Gift - was won by Paul Tancredi, of Essendon. This was is seventh appearance at the gift, with a previous best being a third placing last year.

Perry, who turned professional 12 months ago, ran the fastest heat time and then took out the final in 14.06 corrected time. Her previous best at the gift was a fifth place in her heat last year.

Running for the Speed Clinic Team, coached by Shane McKenzie, Perry’s win capped off a successful 12 months.

Running in yellow colours, Gift winner Tancredi made the most of his eight-metre handicap to take out the event in the smart time of 12.46 completed.

Capping 10 years of competition at Rye, 35-year-old Craig Foley is not slowing down. His record includes winning in 2003, the 70 metre novice title in 2003 and the 400 metre open in 2011. This year, he took out the 70 metre open event – making him the only runner to have won all four events.

Shire pegs luxury campsite Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE owner of a multi-million dollar Sorrento foreshore property has been ordered to remove tents, decking and a caravan by the state planning tribunal.

Martin Strode, who owns Lot 5, 3080 Point Nepean Rd, has been ordered by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal not to use the camp site for

accommodation, and remove timber decking and all tents fixed to the deck by 28 January.

Mr Strode, a director of Melbournebased property developer SMA Project, bought the property fronting Sullivan Bay near the First Settlement site from Richard Shelmerdine for an estimated $10 million.

The headland on the eastern end of Sullivan Bay was part of the shortlived settlement led by LieutenantGovernor David Collins who was sent by the British government to protect the sealing industry.

Mr Shelmerdine controversially won approval from the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to subdivide the 1.2-hectare property in 2010.

Lot 1 of 1915 square metres sold for

more than $6 million soon after and a second lot of about 2140 square metres sold for a similar price.

On 9 January, VCAT issued an interim enforcement order to the shire.

The tribunal stated Mr Strode did not have a permit from the shire to install tents, caravans, trailers or the timber decking.

Cruises promise peninsula tourist bounty Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A NEW era in tourism is about to enrich Mornington – and the whole peninsula – with the regular arrival of P&O cruise ships from next month.

The harbour town has been chosen as one of three regional ports on the iconic company’s new regional tourism itinerary.

The first visit – by the Pacific Pearl – 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 here at 9am on Tuesday 24 February and depart at 6pm for Portland, which is also a maiden call.

“Cruise lines consider a wide range of factors when determining their ports of call, including the appeal of the destination to passengers, the attractions it offers, local tourism infrastructure and proximity to other ports in the schedule,” the company’s senior vice president Tammy Marshall said.

“P&O Cruises is adding the peninsula to its schedules as the port offers easy access to some memorable attractions and activities, including local wineries, which we believe will be popular with our guests.

“From November, P&O will have five ships based locally, enabling us to take our guests to new destinations around the Australian coast.

“This is great news for regional tourism, bringing valuable cruise dollars to these smaller towns while also

Floating visit: The cruise ship Pacific Pearl is scheduled to visit Mornington next month.

encouraging holidaymakers to explore destinations they may otherwise not have visited.”

P&O Cruises has six cruises scheduled for this year and next, anchoring off Mornington and ferrying passengers to shore in tenders. The passengers can then choose to go on scheduled bus tours – one is to Arthur’s Seat lookout, Sorrento’s Main St and Point Nepean – or wander up Main St, have a meal, see the local historical sights, take a swim or visit a pub.

The Pacific Pearl will make a sec-

ond call on 18 March, sister ship Pacific Eden arriving 12 and 30 January next year and Pacific Jewel 6 March.

The ship carries 1800 passengers, was launched in 1989 and refurbished in 2010. It is 247 metres long and 32.2 metres wide with a draft of eight metres. It has 12 passenger decks and a maximum speed of 21.5 knots.

Its 727 crewmembers service 773 rooms, including 176 interior rooms and 533 ocean view rooms.

“We will certainly give the passengers a warm welcome and make their

visit memorable,” Sorrento Chamber of Commerce vice-president Marc Clavin said. “We are really excited at the prospect.

“Our [trading] season started with the usual mad rush but last week’s incorrect weather forecast – with predictions of up to 150mm of rain – kept many campers and shoppers away. Quite a few just cancelled their bookings.

“This initiative will, hopefully, bring another wave of tourists who will be greatly appreciated.”

Hear Together support for deaf children HEAR Together Mornington Peninsula is a new support group for parents of children with a hearing impairment.

The group is an initiative of the Frankston Toy Library. It welcomes the entire family, including the children and their siblings, to its informal and fun bimonthly meetings.

“Having a child diagnosed with a hearing loss can be a difficult experience for many parents,” founder Sandi Walters said.

“When my daughter was diagnosed I felt like the only parent on the planet dealing with such issues, and my daughter felt like the only child on the planet with hearing aids.”

Ms Walters started the group to ensure that no other families in the area felt the same isolation. “Everyone is welcome - from those worried about grommets to those with hearing aids and cochlear implants,” she said.

Meetings are held at the Frankston Toy Library – of which Ms Walters in president - which also has Victoria’s largest collection of resources. These can be borrowed for children with a range of special needs, including deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism.

A new Auslan playgroup has been launched as part of the Hear Together program for parents wanting to learn and practise sign language.

Families interested in finding out more can visit the Facebook page Hear Together Mornington Peninsula.

Consultants take $6m bite of shire budget David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire spent more than $6 million on consultants in the 2013-14 financial year.

The figure has been provided to council watcher and southern peninsula resident Barry Robinson, who for several years has been asking the shire how much it spends on external advice.

It is not a complete response, but a significant change in what appeared to have been a policy of denying info to ratepayers over a number of years on a wide range of issues.

In 2013-14, $6.24 million was spent on consultants.

As to being given more detailed fig-

ures, shire sustainable organisation director Bruce Rendall told Mr Robinson by letter on 6 January: “I have asked … staff to investigate the potential effort required to prepare a consultancies disclosure similar to that required from state government organisations.”

Mr Robinson, a retired bank executive, had asked that the shire annual report include a list of consultancy expenses “for projects, or contemplated projects, during the financial year”.

He told Mr Rendall he had corresponded directly with former shire CEO Michael Kennedy “for no tangible result” on the matter, then asked a question about expenses at the 14 October 2014 council meeting.

On 27 October he wrote to Mr Ren-

dall saying: “I received a letter … from your predecessor, Ms Marilyn Kearney, stating that ‘The current system does not accurately accommodate the reporting of funds spent on consultancies...’.”

He said Ms Kearney agreed to include data in the 2013-14 annual report.

“Perusal (of the report) shows that such information is not included and I am enquiring why this information, which would be helpful to both ratepayers and, dare I say it, some shire staff, has not been incorporated … and apparently is still not available,” Mr Robinson wrote.

Receiving no response, Mr Robinson informed Mr Rendall by letter on 22 December that he’d received no reply.

A week later Mr Rendall apologised for the delay. “While a response was prepared … it seems this was not sent,” he wrote.

In that response Mr Rendall – a relative newcomer to the shire – said: “Your questions have piqued my interest … I find myself agreeing that we can certainly provide more detailed information about expenditure.

“Council has made changes to its chart of accounts (regarding consultancies) … From the 2014-15 year onwards we are collecting more fine grained data on consultant expenditure.”

As well as this undertaking, Mr Robinson received good news about the previously secret – with the strong support of some councillors – list of shire land

held for sale. The list should be published within the next two weeks – that is, by 20 January.

Mr Robinson belongs to a small group (among them Alan Nelsen and Gary Howard of Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association) who make annual submissions to the shire budgetary process on such mysteries as rate rises, debt and ways to keep shire costs down.

Now the winds of change are stirring the curtains at the shire offices, veteran council watchers are smiling as they sense, by way of such matters as hitherto withheld information on land sales and consultants’ fees, that Mornington Peninsula Shire has entered a bright new era.

Bushfire versus Skylift: it’s no contest COMMENT

By David Harrison THE Arthurs Seat Skylift consortium has been given what appears to be a dream lift-off for its $18 million gondola chairlift, with a VCAT ruling – almost a benediction – that effectively gives Skylift control of the summit of the popular Mornington Peninsula tourist destination.

It seems clear the deal, approved by the shire but then appealed by opponents to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, was painstakingly formulated between the consortium, Parks Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire – a win-win-win agreement, with shire ratepayers and Victorian taxpayers picking up a few hefty bills.

The proposal looks attractive – a modern replacement of the 1960s chairlift that will surely lure the predicted tourist numbers – but questions hang over the private use of public land, as is also the case with the Point Nepean resort proposal. Both are likely to require more public land later if thoughts of expansion arise.

The main objection is the takeover of the Arthurs Seat summit, long a popular spot for a picnic and a stroll.

To get Skylift’s gondolas over the precipice (the old chairlift terminated below the summit), a tower the height of a vertical cricket pitch will be built.

The land Skylift initially seeks to lease for 50 years does not include space for adequate car parking at either the bottom or top gondola stations. Parks Victoria will bear the cost of providing parking as well as toilets.

Nor is Skylift given any real responsibility for fire protection of its gondolas and their passengers as they roll up and down the kilometre-long route. Below the gondolas is a 16-metre wide cleared strip up Arthurs Seat.

VCAT describes this as a “fire break”; the CFA almost certainly would not.

It also appears from the decision that the Skylift consortium, led by businessman Simon McKeon, will not provide land offsets normally required of developers who take over public land. Or, if it does, it might be for land less valuable than 55 hectares of Mornington Peninsula Shire green wedge (GW) land near Arthurs Seat and possibly not even land on the peninsula.

On this VCAT says the shire “may ... allow 55 hectares [136 acres] of [shire] land to be used as native vegetation offsets and added to the Arthurs Seat State Park”.

A green wedge offset of this size might have cost the consortium anything from $500,000 (at a very skinny

$10,000 a hectare) to well north of $5 million.

Further, VCAT has accepted evidence from a Skylift witness that, at present, no further development that might include a “lookout tower” is “currently contemplated”. Promotional material has shown a tower since the project was announced in 2011.

It has been speculated the tower could contain a revolving restaurant, which would have magnificent 360-degree views encompassing Melbourne, the Dandenongs, Mt Baw Baw, Western Port, Bass Strait and Port Phillip, from Geelong to the You Yangs and Mt Macedon.

Shire councillors’ decision to approve Skylift was taken to VCAT by the Save Our Seat group.

On the crucial matter of bushfire protection, VCAT says that “where appropriate, the precautionary principle is to be applied”.

This principle states that, when an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically.

Can the eight-person gondolas be protected from bushfires?

SOS told VCAT the proposed gondola was a clear bushfire risk, based on past fires as well as the area’s fire hazard rating and the need to evacuate 40 gondolas quickly.

Experts have estimated a fire starting at the base of Arthurs Seat could reach the summit in seven minutes, possibly less. The gondola trip takes 15-20 minutes at about a metre a second. Top speed is three metres a second.

It is not only flames that would threaten gondola passengers. Smoke, embers and radiant heat are also critical issues.

Mr McKeon has said the gondolas would be speeded up in a fire emergency to get passengers off. He did not say how this could overcome the fact

that half the gondolas travel up while the other half are heading down, possibly toward a fire.

The power grid is often turned off when bushfires threaten to prevent fallen lines sparking more blazes. This would bring into play the Skylift emergency generator. VCAT was given evidence by Skylift that the generator cannot drive the gondolas faster than a metre a second.

Arthurs Seat Skylift CEO Hans Brugman told VCAT that all patrons could be evacuated in six minutes, which would be “ample time ahead of a threatening bushfire”, as the VCAT decision puts it.

Mr Brugman said he had not contacted other gondola operators, or operators of similar tourist ventures, to discuss emergency evacuation procedures.

His assurance about evacuating Skylift means getting patrons off two of the 40 eight-person gondolas every 20 seconds. This would require gondolas to arrive simultaneously at the top and bottom stations, each occupant exiting in under 2.5 seconds.

But the figure does not include the time required to move the next waiting gondolas to the platforms, or any other time-consuming factors such as prams, pushers, wheelchairs, patrons on walking sticks or frames, panic and so on.

As VCAT notes cautiously: “Mr Brugman’s theoretical estimates of evacuation times ... have not been confirmed. However, from the submissions we are comforted that the public authorities and the applicant are keenly aware of the challenge and are committed to operating the Skylift to the highest safety standards.

“We are satisfied the risks are known and can be managed.”

One might regard this as rather less rigorous than a conclusion drawn from empirical evidence. Safety is at the very heart of the Skylift proposal; more than a “theoretical estimate”

from an interested party should surely have been required to “comfort” and “satisfy” the tribunal.

This is especially so in light of the fact Skylift is almost totally dependent on firefighting and fire protection from outside sources. Its bushfire management plan is, VCAT accepts, “preliminary and in need of further work” on 11 points, none of which involve Skylift taking any direct responsibility for fighting fire along the gondola route up Arthurs Seat. Even a warehouse is required to have a sprinkler system.

It seems logical that the safety of Skylift patrons in transit should more directly be a consortium responsibility.

Here’s a thought: perhaps a powerful, inverted sprinkler system should be installed under the gondola path to saturate surrounding bushland, and drench and cool the gondolas in the event of fire. Perhaps Parks Victoria could be persuaded to provide such a safety measure. Or perhaps Skylift itself should be required to install such a system.

The tribunal cited in its decision that evacuation from other tourist attractions, such as Puffing Billy, operate in “extreme bushfire areas” but you can’t just stop a gondola at a safe place and step off it as with the steam train.

The tribunal was also told by SOS that too little information was available to show that a bushfire emergency plan could reduce the risk to human life.

The shire, the consortium and the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI, now Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning) – the fire authority – disagreed.

VCAT accepted the fire experts’ advice. “We … consider the risk can be mitigated to an acceptable level through the mix of siting behind the ridge, defendable space, availability of water and the construction techniques,” it said, based on evidence including that at least 40,000 litres of water (10,500 gallons) would be provided at each station.

As a comparison, a CFA fire truck carries 2000 litres of water, which it can pump at up to 900 litres a minute.

The 40,000 litres VCAT cites would be exhausted – through large firefighting hoses – in perhaps 15 minutes or less, reaching little of the 1000 or so metres of bushland under or beside the gondola’s path between stations and possibly above a fire.

On the fire danger to individual gondolas, VCAT states: “The fire experts agreed that people on the gondolas would be most at risk, and evacuation is the only response to guarantee their safety.

“We accept their evidence and the submissions that it is not possible to

protect people on the gondolas from fire except by widespread clearing of the vegetation around the gondolas.

Expanding beyond the defendable space along the alignment of the gondola ride is not part of the application and has not been proposed by the permit applicant.”

One would not expect the applicant to propose such clearing, or a sprinkler system, for several reasons. But perhaps the interests of public safety – the precautionary principle – required that it be considered.

But, the VCAT decision continues: “We would not support further vegetation removal beyond that required for the operation along the gondola line as that would severely affect the landscape and vegetation character and qualities of the escarpment.

“The experts agreed that the risk to people in the gondolas can be managed without needing to expand the defendable space around the gondolas. People can be evacuated and the gondolas can cease operations or be closed on high risk days or times.”

Some of these words could come back to haunt VCAT members Margaret Baird and Geoff Rundell if, as now widely anticipated, climate change intensifies bushfire dangers. Ms Baird and Mr Rundell throw the onus of dealing with this undoubted growing peril back on the “expert evidence”.

“We are persuaded,” the members write, that “the risk can be mitigated and emergency procedures can be enacted to protect human life. In our view, while the risk level is high and very real, it is known and can be properly and safely managed.”

By whom, and with what, will the risks be managed up the challenging escarpment of Arthurs Seat?

Bushfire expert Paul Barnard, appearing for Skylift, gave evidence that did not entirely fit with the consortium’s stance. He said the facility should be closed on Code Red and on total fire ban (TFB) days as well. And perhaps it should be closed on extreme fire danger days, too, he added, particularly if local firefighting resources had been sent to other parts of Victoria.

After Mr Barnard’s evidence concluded, Skylift said it had been “taken by surprise” by his opinion that the facility should be closed on total fire ban days. This had not been suggested by either the CFA or by DEPI. Skylift applied to address VCAT on the matter the following day. Next morning it submitted that:  Total fire ban days were concerned with ignition sources, not protection of life.

Shire pegs luxury campsite Continued from Page 1 The tribunal ordered Mr Strode to stop using the site for accommodation from 12 January and remove “all trailers (including those intended for use as en suite or bathroom facilities) from the subject land”.

Area councillor Tim Rodgers said the camping site had been used last summer but the shire had only recently taken Mr Strode to the tribunal.

“I’m happy with the decision but it would have been good to have everything removed well before the end of January,” he said.

Cr Rodgers said the camping site could be seen

from the beach.

Mr Strode submitted a planning application to the shire late last year for a new house with pool, pergola and barbecue structure on his property. It was approved with stringent conditions that included re-siting the pool, pergola and barbecue, removal of a proposed beach access track, and other changes. The News understands the matter will go to the VCAT. SMA Projects is best known for its recent 358-apartment and townhouse development at Collingwood’s Yorkshire Brewery site.

New battle over 99-lot swamp subdivision Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE battle to preserve Tootgarook Swamp has entered a new phase with a developer seeking permission to subdivide a large block into 99 housing lots.

Mornington Peninsula Shire last week publicly advertised the planning application made by Watermark Village Pty Ltd and Beveridge Williams and Co Pty Ltd, and called for objectors to make submissions by the end of January.

The land – almost 30 hectares, or 74 acres – is at 92 Elizabeth Ave, Rosebud West, one of several privately held

blocks in the swamp that were zoned residential by the old Shire of Flinders before environmental considerations became common in planning.

Shire councillors asked for reports on the appropriateness of residential zones in the swamp in 2000 and 2003, but nothing changed.

The land has been the subject of controversy with its owner ordered by the state planning tribunal in 2008 to remediate alleged illegal clearing of grasslands and other Ecological Vegetation Classes in 2007.

The block has been sold three times since 2001, most recently last May. Save Tootgarook Swamp president

Cameron Brown said 92 Elizabeth Ave “is the most important site that we are aware of in the entire swamp in terms of endangered and migratory birds”.

“Indigenous fauna using the site include 85 species of birds, one crustacean, four species of fish, five frog species, one amphibious reptile, seven types of lizards and skinks, three species of snakes, and six mammal species including bats.”

Mr Brown, who with his partner Jessie Durrant has led moves to stop other development in the swamp in recent years, including expansion of Chas Jacobsen’s Village Glen retirement complex, said a Practical Ecology Pty Ltd

report that had never seen the light of day at the shire showed the land once contained sedge wetland, aquatic herb land, brackish wetland, reed swamp, plains grassland and swamp scrub.

Rare birds using the land included the hardhead duck, nankeen night heron, Australasian bittern, Latham’s snipe, sharp-tailed sandpiper, marsh sandpiper, Lewin’s rail, buff-banded rail, spotless crake and royal spoonbill.

Mr Brown said it was disappointing restoration works ordered by VCAT almost four years ago had not been done “within a peat regenerating wetland, the most threatened wetland type”.

mission to the federal government that the “management of critical habitat on private land [in the swamp] is an absolute failure”.

Last week he told The News that “time and time again decisions that affect our endangered animals and habitat are made without proper regulatory process even by state and local government”.

“A change is needed to make sure that all our animals and plants don’t make it to a critical point of extinction.

Good data and good information lead to good decisions. Poor information and poor data will result in poor decisions.”

‘Secret’ sex shakes yoga school Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ALLEGATIONS of sexual impropriety have shaken the usual calm surrounding the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga at Mt Eliza.

American-born ashram director Swami Shankarananda, also known as Swamiji (formerly known as Russell Kruckman), is alleged to have had sexual relations with more than 40 women attending the ashram.

Free confidential counselling is being offered to “anyone who needs assistance” while a sub-committee has been appointed to write a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda.

“It breaks my heart that our beautiful Satsang [gathering for the truth] has been shaken and split by anger and confusion,” the 72-year-old swami wrote in a letter seeking forgiveness from ashram members.

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”.

The committee has allowed him to remain as the ashram’s spiritual director.

Although it had received legal advice to the effect that no criminal laws had been broken, the committee said Swami Shankarananda’s “activities … raise a number of potential ethical issues” and had started an “internal processes to address any grievances … and the per-

ceived risk of any future misconduct”.

“I can say that this is an internal matter and we have not been contacted by the police,” said Stephen Stanford, a member of the Shiva Yoga management committee.

Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga was established in 1991 and soon after moved into the residential ashram in Mt Eliza. The ashram has about 500 regular attendees, including 20 who live on-site.

In his letter, Swami Shankarananda apologises “to the community and to anyone who has been hurt by my actions, or even by hearing of my actions”.

In an apparent reference to his book Carrot In My Ear (“a guidebook to the inner experience, offering insights and techniques to dissolve ignorance and live with energy and awareness”), his letter states: “I had a carrot in my ear.

Truly. When contemplating Baba’s life, I was most engaged by the dramas of the succession. I profoundly underestimated the impact of his tantric sexual activities. And my own. I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour. Indeed, it has been stopped already.”

Swami Shankarananda said he wanted to make amends “in an atmosphere of love and generosity of spirit, not vilification on either side”.

“I know people are disappointed and upset. I apologise to them and ask their forgiveness.”

He said there had been a lot of good done at the ashram in the past 20 years and his “tantric activities have been the only blemish”.

“As I have said, I have stopped them.

When peace returns, perhaps I will

25%

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.”

News of the swami’s conduct has been discussed on social media, with one commentator on Guruphiliac’s Facebook page labelling the Shiva School’s response “outrageous … we have spoken to some of the women involved and heard their heartbreaking personal accounts in detail, and we see nothing in his actions that could in any way be called tantric or yogic, healing or spiritual”.

The page said Swami Shankarananda was involved in advising devotees about many aspects of their lives, including personal relationships, “when to get a new job or leave one, where to live”.

“For ashramites, this goes further, with some having to ask permission to even leave the premises for a few hours.”

The statement issued by the ashram’s management committee said “many people are hurt, angry and confused”.

“The committee is taking this situation very seriously and is dedicated to resolving the issue with honesty, transparency and compassion.

“Swamiji has asked us on his behalf to reiterate his message for the year of holding the feeling – that is, stay away from enmity, and keep returning to love.”

Aunty’s travels puts junior readers in the frame Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ROWENA Wiseman is immersed in art. As publications editor for Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery she is surrounded by and closely involved in exhibitions.

Her fascination and affinity with art has now led her to delve into the mysteries that might lie behind and beyond the framed pieces.

In a series of ebooks Wiseman takes junior readers behind the canvas.

Literally jumping into the picture with Frieda and her Aunty Arty.

The unfolding adventure illustrated

by Narelda Joy introduces youngsters to the world of art occupied by such artists as Georgio de Chirico, Yue Minjun and Paula Rego.

In the first of six ebooks slated for publication Aunty Arty takes Frieda and her sister Mona into Georgio de Chirico's painting The Disquieting Muses.

The trio set out to save their new friend Fibula from Cupid’s lead arrow while the statue of Venus suffers from lovesickness.

The acceptance of Wiseman’s series

by Melbourne children’s ebook publisher Jet Black Publishing comes after a decade of creative disappointment.

Wiseman, who lives in Mt Eliza, admits to “receiving a lot of rejection slips” from her attempts to find a publisher for her adult and young adult fiction manuscripts.

But the digital age is changing the face of publishing. Some of her pieces were published free online and the

Ereaders: Author Rowena Wiseman and daughter Sasha go online to read the first of Wiseman’s Aunty Arty series of children’s books. Picture: Gary Sissons

author believes the feedback from her growing audience became “part of the journey as regards characters”.

“Going digital becomes part of the journey. I enjoy people reading and commenting,” Wiseman says.

“I love this new age of digital reading. Someone in Mexico wants to translate my works into Spanish – we’re talking [online] about it.”

Writing on her blog led her to a Twitter reference to Jet Black Publish-

ing and she made her pitch.

Although the children’s books had not been online they obviously hit a chord with Jet Black’s owner Kim Mungcal.

An ereader user, Wiseman also “loves the feel of a paper book”.

The reality, she says, is that digital publishing of an illustrated book in colour is far cheaper than a print version.

“The illustrations in Aunty Arty

are full colour when. Books for eight to eleven year olds usually just have black and white line drawings. Because these are ebooks and we aren't restricted by printing costs, we've been able to make full use of colour - which has been really important as they're all about art and the backdrop is adapted from a famous artwork.”

Wiseman says Aunty Arty came from her desire to read about something other than fairies and goblins to

her then six-year-old daughter.

“I wanted something more sophisticated to be available for keen readers like my daughter. “‘When I look at a painting I often wonder about the story in the artwork? Often we don’t know. I thought it would be interesting to make up what would happen if we could meet the characters in a work of art.”

She recognises difficulties may arise in explaining the meaning of the title of Chirico's The Disquieting Muses, but says “that’s the artwork’s title and I didn’t want to dumb it down too much”.

Publisher Mungcal says the book is “full of wholesome fun and adventures … a Mary Poppins-tale for the modern day”.

Twenty per cent of sale profits will go to the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation (ALNF).

Illustrator Narelda Joy: “I start each series of illustrations by exploring the colours and textures of the painting that they enter. This gives me a feel for the environment and I dream up the other illustrations from there.

“It’s important to be sensitive to the original artwork, while creating the rest of the world within that painting that the characters explore.

“We’ve been able to create something far more interesting for children than what we would have been able to do with a printed book.”

Hunt promise to protect reef as rains greet protesters

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt says the federal government is “determined to protect and manage the Great Barrier Reef not just for the coming decades, but for the coming centuries”.

Since its election in late 2013 the government has “put an end to the five massive dredge disposal plans for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park that were inherited” from the former Labor government”, Mr Hunt, who is also the environment minister, said.

“The Coalition is ending the centuryold practice of dumping in the marine park – a practice that was fully embraced

by Labor governments at both a federal and state level. I am enshrining this ban in law. This is the first time that any federal Minister has ever done this.”

Mr Hunt’s remarks followed a visit to Hastings last week by members of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition to protest at plans for material dredged for the expansion of the Abbot Point coal port in Queensland to be dumped near environmentally sensitive wetlands.

With their efforts to gain support from Hastings shoppers dampened by rain coalition members gathered for photographs outside Mr Hunt’s office.

Mr Hunt said environment groups had called for onshore disposal at Abbot Point, “which is precisely what we are looking at”.

Youth coalition spokesperson Erica Ransley said their protest was primarily aimed at limiting the amount of coal mined in the Galilee Basin because once it was burnt “it’s game over for

action on climate change”.

“Millions of Australians have spoken out against this project - including many voters in Hunt’s own electorate - who perhaps remember that Minister Hunt campaigned to stop the dredging of Port Phillip Bay in 2007. Why wouldn’t he afford the same protection to our national icon, the Great Barrier Reef?

“The buck stops with Minister Hunt - he has the power to do the right thing for our climate and the reef.”

Ms Ransley said a recent study had shown that 90 per cent of Australian coal “must stay in the ground if we want to have a 50 per cent chance of staying below two degrees of global warming”.

The environmental activist group GetUp is backing legal action lodged by the NSW Environmental Defenders Office on behalf of the Mackay Conservation Group to stop Mr Hunt assessing plans to dredge and dump the spoil near Abbot Point.

Mr Hunt has countered by accusing GetUp of "ignoring the truth" and demanding it "explain" its actions.

GetUp has also used social media to rebut Mr Hunt’s claims, including his assertion that the group had “remained overwhelmingly silent as Labor advanced plans for dumping in the marine park as part of the Abbot Point project with 33 preliminary approvals”.

GetUp said it had launched its campaign to save the Great Barrier Reef in 2011, targeting the then federal Labor government “and has kept up the pressure to save the natural wonder ever since. Our campaigning included GetUp's then biggest ever petition”.

Protected: Summer rains dampened the activities but not the enthusiasm of anti-coal mining protesters Erica Ransley, Andy Snook, Hannah Glasson, Maxine Gigliotti and Raf Branton (in the Nemo costume).

The five members of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition sought refuge and a photo opportunity outside the office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt.

“Our movement followed the Reef Fighting Fund with an incredible year of action, so much so that the government abandoned its plans to dump dredge-spoil at sea and found an alternative,” GetUp stated in a news release.

“Unfortunately, the new plans are terrible. The Queensland government's own report shows it is the worst possible environmental solution at Abbot Point. (And incidentally, the cheapest).”

The case lodged by the NSW Environmental Defenders Office argues that the emissions from burning the estimated 60 million tonnes a year of coal to be exported from Adani’s Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin “are

big enough to have an impact on global warming and therefore on the Great Barrier Reef”.

“We will argue that the minister failed to consider the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the burning of coal mined from the project and the impact of those emissions on nationally protected matters, such as the Great Barrier Reef,” the defenders office said.

Mr Hunt said a state Labor government in Queensland had “created the Galilee Basin initiative”.

“They allocated the tenements and proposed a 38 million cubic metre dredge plan. It is not a federal government plan it is a state ALP plan and private proposal.”

LETTERS Environmental cost Over 12 months ago, at the time the dredging at Abbot Point, Queensland, was first announced, the Environment Minister and MP for Flinders Greg Hunt promised a large gathering outside his office that “he would protect the Reef”.

The minister gave the Australian people 10 days just before Christmas to obtain, read and write a submission on a new 2370-page proposal to dump dredge material on an environmentally sensitive wetland.

Despite a request, the minister has not been willing or able to put a price on the value to Australia of the proposed coal export business.

Dr Robert Costanza, a world expert on calculating the value of natural environments, placed the value of the Great Barrier Reef (the world’s largest) at $995,000 an acre.

Is the Adani coal export worth more than this?

Hordes of errors Just reading 13 January edition of The News and was hooked by your headline “Tourist hoards hide economic downturn”.

I eagerly read on to find what all these tourists were either storing up or, at the very least, hiding. Further reading of an otherwise very interesting and pertinent article set me straight.

This is the first time I have ever written to any newspaper so you must have really got my goat with such an obvious mistake.

Unfortunately, these mistakes are minor compared to what can be found daily in online versions of newspapers, hard copy versions and now even on the on-screen program promos for all TV stations, including the ABC. Modern publishing has seen the end of the proof reader and sub-editor and, as we know, we can all make mistakes.

I fear things will only get worse as our education system allows for a watering down of English as it was to something that has the potential to be full of unnoticed basic inaccuracies.

I am writing on behalf of the Carols

For $500,000 I could build a small palace with five bathrooms (‘Rolls Royce toilets for iconic beach’, The News 23.12.14). You gotta believe that it would cost Mornington Peninsula Shire $150 to purchase a hammer.

Granted there are costs to do this, but has the shire specifications cost us much more than necessary? Are the toilet seats and tap ware gold plated?

Is there a sauna and whirlpool bath? Is this where they are putting the “warm water” pool? Did they consult local tradespeople to do this or only their cost bloated “approved vendors”?

If anyone can do it for three times the reasonable cost, it seems to be Mornington Peninsula Shire. It ranks right at the top of outrageous costs for simple jobs.

No worries, it will just have another gargantuan rate increase again. Maybe when the Labor government caps rates it will be forced to look at its costings and the use of consultants to do the job that it is getting big bucks for being “experts” to do.

Joe lenzo, Safety Beach

Cruel government Is there no limit to the cruelty this federal government is prepared to stoop to satisfy its ideological mantra of small government? Cutting money from social housing, fiddling with pensioners’ incomes through changing indexation of pensions, making ordinary people pay more for doctors’ visits, increasing the cost of fuel by again fiddling with indexation, while in the meantime leaving inequitable tax-breaks for the wealthy and corporations?

And when we look at immigration matters, one can only cringe with embarrassment when calling oneself Australian.

When it is convenient, the minister will not shy away from micromanaging affairs like citizenship ceremonies by councils. But, in cases that really matter, like the plight of children and the sick in our concentration camps offshore, the government is silent and unmoved and hides behind the contract partners in this crime.

Australians expect a certain level of services from government and, if need be, would be prepared to pay for them

Danger road Calls for expensive and disruptive traffic lights at the intersection of Tower Rd and Nepean Highway, Mt Eliza, are an unwarranted extravagance. Simply block the median strip gap and make all traffic out of Tower Rd turn left.

Here at Tanti Park, Mornington, we have to turn left when entering the highway.

The number one worst intersection locally is ignored by lobbyists, road safety experts and officers, and council. It is at the eastern end of Bungower Rd, which is a very busy

through road now, where it intersects Tyabb-Tooradin Rd. It frightens me every time I go there, you have to be so very careful and alert, and still you cannot see some oncoming high speed traffic. It desperately needs traffic lights or a roundabout at least.

Gym regroup Rosebud gym closing after 10 years of catering to women of all ages (current members range from 16-80 plus). This club has enabled women who previously may not have felt comfortable in a more open environment.

As an older women (72) I was getting less active and suffering pre diabetes and hypertension. Two years later, these problems are gone and I have lost weight and, more importantly, become stronger and healthier.

A group of the members are now attempting to form a similar concept facility in our area and hope for support from council and others to make this a reality.

Horse abuse The fact that three Victorian trainers have this week had their horses test positive for banned substances is not surprising, considering the immense abuse that goes on in the racing industry. Imagine being pushed beyond the point of exhaustion: the bones in your legs straining to hold up the weight of your body, your bleeding lungs incapable of taking in enough air, and you're forced to keep running despite it all.

This is what life is like for racehorses, which are too often chronically drugged by trainers in order to mask their pain and enhance their performance.

Horses in the racing industry are so routinely doped up that they have been labelled "chemical horses", and their feet, bones, and bodies are progressively destroyed as a result.

In fact, the entire horseracing busi-

ness causes enormous suffering and often death every year to thousands of horses. They suffer broken bones, gastric ulcers and bleeding into their lungs from overexertion. Doping with anti-inflammatory and other drugs can affect their respiration and muscles, and pain killers will allow trainers to push the horse well beyond safe levels.

Horses that don’t win immediately are often classified as wastage and are sent, with the ageing winners, to the knackeries for pet food or on long journeys to abattoirs for human consumption. Government figures show that as many as 40,000 horses are slaughtered each year in Australia.

Horseracing is an industry, not a sport, and the persistent corruption scandals just emphasise that it is a cruel and inhumane business.

Jason Baker, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Australia

Salvos’ thanks On behalf of The Salvation Army, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the local community for their support this Christmas. Thank you to local businesses and members of the community who volunteered their time at Christmas lunches, collected donations or gave financially.

Your generosity allowed us to assist 300,000 people over Christmas and share in more than 8000 meals on Christmas Day with people in our community with nowhere to celebrate.

This year Victorians also kindly donated 99,090 gifts to local Kmart stores as part of the Wishing Tree Appeal. These gifts are distributed by the Salvation Army to help brighten the Christmas of individuals and families in need.

Thank you for your ongoing support to allow The Salvation Army to do its work.

Major Neil Venables, Salvation Army

Bushfire versus Skylift would be no contest Continued from Page x It was not appropriate that the facility be closed on TFB days.  Restricting Skylift’s operation on TFB days “potentially significantly impacts on the commercial viability of the project. The expectation is that TFB days will increase due to climate change.”

A draft Bushfire Emergency Plan/ Emergency Management Plan (BEP/ EMP) submitted with the Skylift application was accepted by all parties as preliminary, with 11 matters needing more work. 

Despite this, VCAT concluded: “We accept [evidence] that the risks associated with this facility can be managed in an acceptable way and in a manner that is not novel.

“We do not accept submissions from SOS that the proposal should be refused because of bushfire hazard or risks or that the precautionary principle means the proposal is unacceptable.

“The risks are known and, on the best advice and evidence available to us, can be properly managed subject to the completion of a BEP/EMP. “We consider that should occur be-

fore the development commences as there may be matters that arise in the modelling or finalisation of the plan that require refinements to other components of the proposal.”

The tribunal’s statement that further clearing “would severely affect the landscape and vegetation character” and equating a Skylift evacuation with leaping off Puffing Billy leaves one slightly dazed. Did we learn nothing from Black Saturday? Are we learning nothing from the current onslaught of “leave and live” bushfire advertisements, of urgent warnings about cli-

mate change?

VCAT’s statements leave little doubt it regards the project’s pluses heavily outweigh the risks. Having rejected strong local concerns for safety, it refers glowingly to “high quality visitor experiences and comprehensive visitor facilities that are to be progressively upgraded and implemented” and “further investigation and future tourism development”.

VCAT also gives significant weight to “the permit application itself, and works committed to by Parks Victoria” as being “part of the partnership pro-

cess envisaged ... for the achievement of desired and required facilities ... consistent with the ambitions of state and local policy ...”

To reinforce their general drift, they apply a little underlining. “We see no reason,” the decision states, “for the whole of the summit precinct to remain as it exists today when there are clearly benefits associated with enhancing facilities at this key popular location.”

Not much there about the precautionary principle or the public’s right to use public land, but plenty of vision about the commercial principle.

Signing on: Peninsula Link and connecting roads will finally get directional and tourism signs not included in the original project.

Picture: Gary Sissons

Taxes go to freeway signs Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORE than two years after opening on 17 January 2013, Peninsula Link freeway will get directional and tourism signs that were omitted from the original brief for the $760 million road.

The signs come courtesy of intense lobbying by federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and peninsula tourism officials.

At least $175,000 of the cost will come from a federal Coalition government grant organised by Mr Billson in what some people will see as an unfair cost burden.

Peninsula motorists were surprised and disappointed at the lack of directional signs when the freeway opened in 2013. Strangers to the peninsula using the freeway were even more disappointed when they ended up lost or on the wrong road.

There were no signs on the four-lane road showing traffic where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the Western Port side of the peninsula.

Signs showing drivers how to get to Mt Martha were also omitted. Few tourism signs were erected.

In August 2013, Mr Billson said the Coalition government would contribute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist directional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”.

He said he wanted to finish what he started in getting the freeway constructed by “getting location and tourist directional signs updated to make people more aware of destinations off and along the new freeway”.

Last Friday he said there had been “unacceptable delays” in getting the signs installed. “This has been an exasperating experience,” he said.

The MP said “30 plus signs” would be installed on the freeway as well as on EastLink tollway, Frankston-Flinders Rd, Moorooduc Highway, and Peninsula Link “feeder” roads.

He said a meeting of freeway builder Southern Way, Linking Melbourne Authority, VicRoads and Mornington Peninsula Shire last week had signed off on all but two of the signs.

Mr Billson said he was told signs had not been installed during freeway construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way. The contract will have to be altered to reflect the installation of the signs.

Quotes for the work would be sought in early February and work would likely be completed mid-year, Mr Billson said. Baxter signs would be a priority. The $175,000 would be given in stages to the shire as the coordinating authority.

In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private-public partnership with freeway building consortium Southern Way, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority.

Also in that year Western Port Tourism said signs to Western Port towns should be installed at Frankston-Flinders, Bungower and MorningtonTyabb roads.

WPT also called for so-called “hero destination” signs that display large photos of tourism attractions on Western Port.

Uber to challenge taxi operators Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au CONTROVERSIAL ride-sharing business Uber launched its service across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula late last month despite operating illegally in Victoria.

Uber’s online system allows travellers to request a car ride via its mobile phone app to any destination covered by the company’s business.

The US based firm, estimated to be worth at least $40 billion by market analysts, recruits drivers who use their own vehicles to ferry passengers. Payment for a trip is made online meaning no cash changes hands.

Uber takes a commission on all journeys and pays the remainder of the fare to its drivers.

Uber’s service is a threat to the taxi industry’s business model and is deemed illegal by Victorian regulators.

Drivers risk a fine of up to $1700 if caught by transport inspectors representing Uber. The company is backed by major corporations including Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs and is reportedly paying drivers’ fines.

Despite its unregulated status, Uber has opened offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Uber announced last month that Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have been added to the 250-plus cities around the world where the ridesharing service is available.

Online advertising over the Christmas and New Year break spruiked Uber being “everywhere this summer… all the way to Sorrento and Portsea”.

A fleet of six minis offered free Uber rides to passengers over the Christmas and New Year break to encourage people to try out the service.

Uber claims it is trying to work with authorities to effectively legalise its business in Australia.

Uber spokesman Mike Abbott told the ABC’s 7.30 program last week: “We are calling for them

Driving for business: Uber has launched its ridesharing service in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula to compete with taxi operators despite being unregulated in Victoria.

Picture source: Instagram

[regulators] to remove the ambiguity and to put in place sensible safety-based legislation for ridesharing which is pro-consumer and is not about protecting incumbents from competition”.

The company’s driver vetting policy has come under scrutiny after an Uber driver was arrested for an alleged assault on a 19-year-old passenger on New Year’s Day in Melbourne.

Uber did not reply to questions about its Frankston and Mornington Peninsula service before publication.

In November last year Uber senior vice president of business Emil Michael said the company would “dig up dirt” on journalists who criticised Uber.

CEO Travis Kalanick apologised for the remark made at a dinner party.

Frankston Taxis general manager Kevin Dunn noted the state government is investigating ways for Uber to conform to industry-standard regulations.

“In this day and age you expect competition but the competition needs to be on a level playing field and currently with Uber it’s not,” he said.

The Frankston taxi company has recently released an iPhone app so customers can book taxi trips online.

An Android smartphone version will be available soon.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Emu Plains race a smashing success Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE were pleased to see that Mr C. McKenzie’s Almond Bush was successful in winning the Novelty Pony Race at Emu Plains on Tuesday last in a field of eight starters. He started favorite and won a good race by a neck. *** MISS H. Ridley notifies that she will be in Somerville on Saturday, 6th February, and will be pleased to interview friends and intending pupils for instruction in singing and piano. *** IN a letter received this week from Mr. Jim Cuthbert we learn he is leaving England for the Front on 8th Dec with the Army Veterinary Corps. He also has three brothers and two sisters on active service. The two latter being nurses, one in Belgium and the other in London. *** MUSIC lovers have a treat in store in the “We Four” Concert on Monday, 1st February. This phenomenal blend of human voices will be remembered for their great concert in aid of the Fire Brigade last summer, and a crowded house should be the result of their efforts next week. Their selections will contain old and new numbers varying from ragtime to grand opera. The Quartet have just concluded their Melbourne season with the Yestelle Company. *** THE result of the Annual competitive examinations held in December for the “junior,” “teaching” and “junior technical” scholarships offered by the

Education Department has now been made available and we are pleased to see that Reginald A. Coxall, son of Mr Coxall, of Frankston, has been successful in gaining a “junior” scholarship under clause 1 of regulation 21 with 684 marks out of a possible 1000, being eleventh on the list on the Registered Primary Schools. *** THE following professionals from Melbourne are supporting “ We Four” in the programme of February 1st.

Miss Noel Geddes, who was such a success at last season’s Taits Auditorium concerts, Miss Daisy Gove who has just returned from England where she has been touring in vaudeville, and Syd. C. Stewart the well known comedian. *** THE funeral of Mr Jas Jesson of Frankston Road, took place on Tuesday, and was of a private nature, only relatives and a few friends attending.

The deceased was amongst the earliest pioneers of the district, born in Leicester England on March 20th, 1828, and was in his 87th year at the time of his death. He arrived in Melbourne in 1856, and started farming pursuits in this district in 1865, retiring some 20 years ago and lived at Frankston Road up to the time of his death. He leaves one son, Mr J.H. Jesson, well-known in Dandenong, now residing at Oakleigh, and a number of grandchildren to mourn their loss. Death took place on the 18th inst. Brother. R. Kelly, P.C.R. Court, Dandenong, A.O.F, read the Forrester’s service at deceased’s

late residence; he was a member of the above lodge for over half a century. *** A youth named Reginald Hutchinson, of 22 Isabella Street, Malvern, was drowned in the sea at Chelsea on Wednesday last. Deceased could not swim. At about 1pm, he and a companion, who also was unable to swim, went bathing in the open sea. Hutchinson ventured into deeper water than his companion, and presently he was swept out of sight by a large wave.

When he appeared on the surface again he shouted for assistance, and the call was taken up by his companion, who soon attracted the attention of other bathers. The searchers after a short search recovered the body of the youth. It was then apparently lifeless, but prompt and energetic efforts were made to restore animation. The operations were perseveringly sustained as long as there remained the smallest hope of success, but all these endeavours proved futile. Eventually the body was removed to the morgue by Constable McDonald. Deceased was 18 years of age. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason held their second by-weekly produce sale at Frankston on Wednesday last, when the market was well supplied with vegetables. Potatoes brought a good price. A very fine sample of tomatoes, locally grown, was quickly snapped up at a good price. A number of cases of apples were disposed of at market rates. A few crates of poultry also changed hands.

*** EMU Plains And Bittern Races: A very successful meeting, in adverse circumstances, was held at Bittern on Tuesday. In the fore-part of the afternoon it blew clouds of dust, and from 3 o’clock the racing was continued throughout a steady downpour of rain.

The entries (104) proved a record, and the takings at the gates amounted to £65. The club expects to net a profit of about £30. When the horses in the Open Handicap Hack Race were making their preliminary gallops in the straight, Merry Foe, ridden by young Crook, reared and fell back on his rider, who was apparently seriously hurt.

The lad however, recovered sufficiently to be able to walk about before the meeting closed. An inquiry was held into the riding of Julia B in this race, the president giving his verdict that there were ‘two rotten’ circumstances in the race, and he gave the benefit of the doubt to the rider as to which was the worse. *** THE cricket match between Somerville and Naval Base resulted in another win for Somerville. Naval Base batted at first and thanks to some vigorous hitting by Dorey, who made 47, the total of 79 was reached. Chas Thornell was in great fettle, obtaining 1 wicket for 25 runs, while he also caught the tenth man off Percy Thornell’s bowling. Fred Murrey had a day off with the ball, but made up for it with a well made 52 before he retired. S S Gault kept up his form with 70 retired. W. Hutchison made

more prone to anger on the presupposition that wealthier people tend to have more expectations. Rich people tend to believe that their money will insulate them from disappointments which is simply untrue. Poorer people have a certain advantage in avoiding anger due to a tendency to expect less out of the world. A practical approach that Seneca gave to avoiding anger was to prepare yourself mentally for disappointment. He believed advice like, “don’t worry, it will be fine,” was cruel because it leaves people unprepared if things turn out not to be okay. He recommended a daily meditation on all of the things that might go wrong. It might seem like preposterous advice, but imagine how much more enjoyable life might be for all of us if we left our house in the morning not really expecting too much. It leaves us in a position to be pleasantly surprised and grateful when things do go smoothly. Seneca is not saying to never expect things to go well, but rather just to be psychologically prepared for a day when they don’t. *** No surprises with Treasurer Joe Hockey’s backdown on “getting tough” on multinational companies who shift profits to international subsidiaries to avoid tax. The surprise was when he promised to take action

in the first place. To be compared with Matthew Guy’s sprout about Lindsay Fox”s 45 metres at Point King Beach, Portsea. We have sympathy for Joe. A lot of this budget deficit is due to circumstances beyond his control and the sad man can’t even blame Labor.

Then one remembers how ruthless he was in his attack mode. Hey Joe-an increase in the GST and a tax on compulory superannuation contributions would give you another 30 billion a year? *** A number of older people have a strong sense of regret about their lives coupled with a singular respect for their actions. Many join the chase (respect) and become hypocrites.

They want other people to conduct themselves in a certain way (actions & thinking) yet do not conduct themselves any differently. Can we behave the way we expect others to behave?

No-it’s all wankerville. The better class of ratbags are clearly in evidence at football matches, phone boxes, new bus stops and the Mornington Peninsula after 11pm. That’s why I watch football on television. I’m the only ratbag in the room. I have enemy mongrels in every football team except those boys in the black and white stripes. Wankers abound in all walks of life. Try an opening of an art gallery. Try my front door.

*** Summertime, and the livin’ is easy; Ella Fitzgerald. With politics in general as it sits now let us hope Anne Murray’s Danny’s Song, particularly the lines “Even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with you honey” remains in the forefront; for married couples anyway. God help the singles living alone paying rent; worse if they like a cigarette. Whatever, you can rest assured the “I’m allright Jack” crowd will sail into the Sydney Harbour sunset, avoiding Martin Place, oblivious. *** Full marks to the Gaming Industry re “Childcare Available” idea. Always thinking of the hearts and minds of our young kiddies. Then we have United Energy, the gaffer tape specialists “Shape our energy fuel together, visit our website and have your say”, IF you have power. As for the 13000 community police keeping me safe, unobtrusively, I’ve been doing the long walks to and from the RSL for years, and yet to spot a policeperson? *** Disgusting but unsurprising. Commissioner Dryson Heyden heading the Royal Kangaroo Commission into unions. Nasty cracks at Julia Gillard’s evidence despite any evidence against her and not a murmur on Lib-

53 retired, G. Grant 20, and C. Thornell 52 retired, also batted very well.

The Somerville total was 232, five of the wickets having fallen. Allen was the most dangerous bowler. The Base were at a disadvantage, owing to several of their men having gone to town. *** A MOST successful concert was held on Saturday evening, January 16th, at the Mechanics’ Hall, Somerville, by Concert band. Every item given was encored by a crowded audience, the concert being under the auspices of the Somerville Social Club. Miss Mabel Doron, the brilliant composer and pianist, acted as accompanist and proved an acquisition in her work. With Miss Kelly she opened the concert with a piano duet, after which Miss Mary Kelly sang ‘My Hero,’ which suited her dramatic soprano voice and was enthusiastically encored. Messrs Geo Coirley and Arthur Shaw gave a duet, ‘Belle Eve.’ This stirring duet was well sung and met with a hearty reception and encore. *** THE breaking of the drought, and the consequent improvement of pastures in districts where formerly no feed was obtainable, has already had a noticeable effect upon railway business, particularly in the department concerned with the transport of live stock which is now being returned to the district.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 January, 1915.

A Grain of Salt Its that time of the year where we have these holiday makers, zombies on the beach, each swim exiting another pee into Port Phillip Bay, in desperation for something to do other than coffee, ice creams, pizzas. Pick up a copy of the Mornington News Group newspaper to check out the real estate. This is the issue where the local newspapers have all gone after two days. Some may be so desperate they get to the back of this newspaper to read this column. For this writer I can simply ramble on, moreso than usual. Throw in a couple of quick comments, more or less take a fortnight off. Welcome. Hope the weather is good for you. Take your rubbish with you. *** From Seneca, Roman philosopher: We are like dogs leashed to the back of a moving chariot. Our leashes are long enough to give us some freedom and maneuverability, but not long enough to allow us to move wherever we want. We are still on a leash and anchored to the chariot of life. Far better to follow along in a direction that you don’t want to go rather than to kick against something that you cannot change. Being able to identify what we can and cannot change is a really important ability that can be a key to our freedom and happiness. Beware, prosperous people are

By Cliff Ellen eral hero Cathy Jackson’s evidence despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

Centrelink to be renamed Gestapo Headquarters? *** The National Geographic has named The Mornington Peninsula as one of the top places to see in 2015.

POWERED BY

The getaway plan The Getaway Plan fans rejoice; the boys will be playing at the Pelly Bar on January 24 and will also be releasing their new crowdfunded album Dark Horses sometime in the next few months.

PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to lead singer Matthew Wright about what the band behind hits such as Where the city meets the sea and The Reckoning, has planned for 2015 and how the band has changed since reforming after a short hiatus in 2010.

PEARL: Tell me about your new album Dark Horses which you are currently recording in Brunswick…

WRIGHT: We started out with about 35 songs and we’ve now narrowed it down to 12 for the record. There’s a not heap that I want to give away about the music just yet. But all we can say is that we’re really, really excited and without sounding too cliché we think it’s some of the best work that we’ve ever done.

PEARL: What made you decide to crowdfund it?

WRIGHT: We have had some difficult experiences with record companies in the past. Generally when you’re a musician working with a label and they are investing a lot of money into you, there always comes a point where they have some creative control over what you’re doing, and we are very about being in complete control of our music. Doing it independently means that we get to make the record exactly the way that we want to, we get to put the exact songs that we want to on there, everything from the ground up is as

pure as it can be.

PEARL: Five per cent of money raised post pledge goal, which you have now reached, is donated to Beyond Blue. Why did you choose that charity?

WRIGHT: We just thought that it was a good cause. We are all very passionate about supporting mental health issues, a few of us have been affected by it before, and it’s just an important cause for us.

PEARL: Where did inspiration for this album come from?

WRIGHT: The biggest inspiration is just everything that we have been through as a band over the past five years. There’s been a lot of shit going on in the camp, some personal stuff, we’ve gone through a few members, we kind of got pretty close at one point to calling it again. This record is our triumph over that, we certainly are not throwing in the towel and we are stoked to be where we are.

PEARL: You’ve recently celebrated your 10 year anniversary as a band. What’s been your biggest highlight over those years?

WRIGHT: One of the biggest highlights was when we reformed. After all the negativity that was surrounding it all when we broke up, a few of us weren’t speaking to each other during that time, to be able to come back and be friends again was massive for us.

PEARL: What was it like recording together again after having a break for one year?

WRIGHT: We kind of just fell back into place.

There wasn’t really any awkwardness. Clint and myself ran into each one night when we were out at a club, we had a conversation and decided we weren’t quite done with what we had intended to do with this band and things just fell back into place quite smoothly.

PEARL: What have you got planned for your show in Frankston later this month?

Will you be playing any new stuff?

WRIGHT: Yeah we will be testing out some new material for sure. We don’t want to over do it because we hate it when we go and see bands that we like and they just play a set of all new songs, we do want to make sure it is well balanced.

PEARL: What’s on the agenda for 2015?

WRIGHT: We plan to release the record as

soon as possible, whether that be in the first quarter or first half of the year. There’s still a lot of logistics to work out when you’re releasing a record independently. We also want to continue to tour as much as we canwe’ve got some pretty extensive tour plans up our sleeves for this year. We want to keep the ball rolling this year, we don’t want to wait another three or four years between records.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Doggies hold upper hand over Old Boys PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON is a strong position heading into day two of its clash against top of the ladder Peninsula Old Boys in MPCA Provincial cricket.

Going into the game, Mornington sat in fifth position, equal on points with fifth placed Long Island and sixth-placed Langwarrin. They were an outright win (18 points) behind the Old Boys.

However, the reigning premier looks set to bridge the gap with the Old Boys after sending them packing for just 105 on Saturday at Alexandra Park.

The Old Boys have been in red hot form with the bat this season, scoring more than 100 runs more than its nearest rival Sorrento. They had scored 300 more than the Dogs heading into the clash.

It mattered little however as Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front-line bowling attack tore through the Old Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; batting line-up.

Not only did the Doggies take

wickets, they bowled tightly, restricting the Old Boys to a little under two runs an over. The Old Boys lasted 58 overs.

Mornington needed to face the last 22 overs of the day and managed to get through relatively unscathed. At stumps the home team was 1/40.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no rush for the Dogs in this one. Simply use as many of their 80 overs as possible to get another 66 runs.

Crib Point is in danger of losing contact with the top four after succumbing to the power of Sorrento on Saturday.

It was brothers Andrew and Chris King who again tormented the opposition batsmen, picking up seven wickets between them.

CJ bowled 17 overs and finished with 4/38 while AJ bowled 16 overs and snared 3/24.

All other bowlers including Nick Davern, Mick Dunball and Liam Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor were rewarded for their efforts with a wicket each.

Magpiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skipper Robbie Hearn top scored for his side with 29, while Jack Johnson made a timely 26 batting at

nine. In reply, Sorrento is 2/39 after batting the final 23 overs of the day.

Corey Harris (15) and Nick Jewell (0) are the not out batsmen, while Jack Falck (4) and Liam Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor (14) are back in the sheds.

Luke Herrington (1/9 off six) and Brad Davidson (1/7 from seven) are the Magpiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wicket takers.

Moorooduc created even more pain for the struggling Mt Eliza on Saturday at Emil Madsden Reserve, giving the home side 252 to chase down for victory.

Whilst there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Duc that went on to make a big score, the large majority of batsmen made a solid contribution to the total of 6/251.

Jack Kennedy again proved to be a wonderful pick-up for the Ducs, top scoring with 46, while Bobby Wilson helped himself to 42. John Collison also made it 239 runs for the season with 41 at the top of the innings.

Lyle House was the best of the Mt Eliza bowlers, picking up 2/80 from 22 overs.

Pines looks likely to escape the battle to avoid relegation, despite being bowled out for 107 on Saturday

against Rye. The Piners batted first at RJ Rowley Reserve and other than Jake Prosser with 41, only three other batsmen made it into double figures.

Rye skipper Tom Baron led from the front for the Demons with 5/44 from 20 overs while Leigh Lambert was just as impressive with 4/32 from 17 overs.

However, yet again, Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batsmen were not able to hold off the oppositionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowlers.

It was former Langwarrin leftarm opening quick Alex Coad who did the damage for the Piners with a devastating six over spell that landed 3/8.

At stumps, Rye was is all sorts of trouble at 4/36.

Bottom of the table Heatherhill will be looking to avoid an outright defeat at the hands of Baxter when the sides head into day two this Saturday.

The Hills batted first on Saturday and made just 94 in 36.2 overs. Jake Foster top scored with 24 in his second game of the season.

Chamika Sattambi was the pick of the Baxter bowlers with four wickets,

while Brad Holton in his first senior appearance picked up three wickets to go with the 19 he has claimed in the Second XI this season.

Baxter made a quick fire 8/161 in 35 overs before having the last eight overs of the day at the Hills.

The home side will resume on 0/19.

Langwarrin will need to be at its best with the bat if it is to get the required runs against Long Island to win the match.

The Islanders are without question in the box seat after making 9/196.

The Kangas have a history of buckling under the pressure in run chases, regardless of the total. They also have a fear of Islandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star Scott Phillips, who takes them to the cleaners every time they play against him.

Dwayne Doig picked-up 3/57 from 29 overs for the Kangas, while Adrian Mack snared 2/49 from 28 overs.

Matt Prosser, in a rare occurrence, was thrown the ball and picked-up 2/35.

Eagles to land final blow DISTRICT

By IT Gully SOMERVILLE has the opportunity to finish Delacombe Park off for the season in MPCA District cricket.

Whilst the Eagles are sitting pretty in second place on the ladder and are looking to consolidate their place in the top bracket, Delacombe is hanging on for dear life and simply must win the match if it is to play finals this season.

It would be a massive failure if the Parkers were unable to back-up a grand final in 2013/14 with at last a place in the finals the following season.

They appear to be up against thought heading into day two of their match with the Eagles. Somerville batted first on Saturday on their home deck and made 209 from 73 overs. Leigh Lowry was superb for the Eagles with 61 after his side slumped to 4/35.

With the Eagles reeling at 6/73, Matty Roach strode to the crease and saved the day with an unbeaten 65. Without Aaron Kaddatz in the team, Roach was the last of the recognised batsmen.

Shane Deal was the pick of the Parkersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 3/36 from 21 overs. In reply, the Parkers are 1/8 after facing the final seven overs of the day.

Without skipper Chris Brittain, it would be a mighty effort for the Parkers to win.

Main Ridge has some work to do against Hastings but is still favourite to win the game.

The Ridge are hanging on to fifth place on the ladder currently, just half a game outside of third place and 12 points out of second. Although they are favorites to beat Hastings, they have plenty of work ahead of them to get the desired result.

Hastings won the toss and batted first on Saturday but was bowled out for 113.

Scott Millar was superb with the ball for the Ridge taking 5/37. However, in reply, the home side is reeling at 3/43 with the dangerous Michael Holmes and Brad Rossborough back in the sheds.

Shaun Foster has single handedly given Carrum the upper hand in its match against Baden Powell.

Foster made 114 and Daniel Polson chimed-in with 53 to help the Lions to

216 against the Braves. Josh Dent with 12 runs was the only other batsmen to make double figures.

Sean Wilson was the best of the Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 3/35 from 16.5 overs.

Baden Powell simply must win this game if it is any chance of playing finals this season. The Lions are looking to tighten their grip inside the top four.

Mt Marthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowlers will need to produce something very special if they are going to defend the 167 they set Red Hill to win the match. The Hillmen were superb with the ball on Saturday at Ferraro Reserve, restricting the home side to less than 200.

Simon Dart again led the way for his side with 3/35 from 22 overs, while Brent Martin and Jamie McCall collected two wickets each. The Hillmen faced the last over of the day and remained unscathed.

They will resume at 0/7 after five wides were bowled in the opening over.

Seaford Tigers look to have the upper hand in their clash with bitter rival and the highly fancied Seaford at Seaford Reserve. Seaford won the toss on Saturday 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.

Andy McMannis was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 3/26 from 13 overs, while Aaron Peebles and Faisal Payenda each claimed two wickets.

Flinders has placed itself in a wonderful position to remove itself from relegation calculations against Boneo.

Flinders went into the match second bottom of the ladder on 12 points while Boneo is only one place higher on 24 points.

On Saturday at BA Cairns Reserve, Flinders all but avoided relegation after scoring 7/259 in their 80 overs.

Andrew Power top scored with 61, Tommy Clements hit 58 and Blake Hogan-Keogh hit 48 to be the keys to the big total.

Alex Petrovic took three wickets for the Pandas.

Still hope for Saints SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING will be throwing every at the opportunity to claim an outright victory against Skye in MPCA Sub-District cricket.

An outright win would see Balnarring back in the finals race after a very disappointing season to date.

Going into Round 8, the Saints were in sixth position, 20 points away from fifth placed Frankston YCW and fourth placed Carrum Downs.

An outright win would give the Saints 20 points and have them knocking on the door.

The Cougars and YCW are locked in their own battle. The best result for the Saints would be a draw but it’s unlikely, meaning they would be a game outside of the four should they get an outright.

On Saturday, they bowled Skye out for 88, James Wisken claiming 3/12

and Peter Mereszko 3/24.

The Saints then hit a quick fire 7/168 with Brad Watson scoring 56 and Tom Hilet 48.

On Saturday Skye will begin their second innings, still 80 runs behind.

Carrum Downs made 187 against the Stonecats, which means the game is pretty even at this stage.

Luke Hutchison was superb with the ball for the Stonecats with 4/30 from eight overs, while Andrew Kitson also chimed-in with 4/49 from 25 overs.

Ryan Lynch top scored for the Cougars with 47 while Mark Snelling hit 38.

Dromana has given itself every opportunity of celebrating a rare victory after scoring 194 on Saturday against Ballam Park.

Skipper Greg McCann top scored with 86 while Craig Dunlop (34) and Trevor Rendall (25) added some much needed runs in the middle order.

Ryan O’Connor did all that he

AUSTRALIA DAY 2015

Celebrate Australia Day on the run ABOUT 2000 people are expected to compete in the Rosebud Australia Day Fun Run this year, a far cry from the 63 competitors that current event co-ordinator, Esther Revens, saw when she first became involved 14 years ago.

“We now have more than 150 volunteers working on the day, comprised of community groups in conjunction with the shire,” says Esther. “Our committee is made up of 12 people and they all represent various community groups. We are all equal in the process though. I simply oversee and co-ordinate.”

Esther says that planning for Australia Day activities starts around July with the first Rosebud Australia Day committee meeting.

“We have volunteers from community groups and a few like me who are individual volunteers. I became involved through Counsellor David Gibb who introduced the fun run 14 years ago, and it has been very successful,” says Esther, who has been the event co-ordinator for seven years. “Volunteer work is wonderful, doing things for others, and I particularly love Australia day. I am very proud to be Australian and so celebrate it.”

Esther is no stranger to volunteering. Her father was a volunteer fundraiser way back when Don Chipp of the Australian Democrats was campaigning.

“Even though I work, I always find time to volunteer and enjoy giving back to the community,” says the Rosebud local. “Our volunteers are a combination of retired people, full time workers and community groups.”

The Australia Day Fun Run has two distances – both a 10km and a 5.3km event to cater for all running enthusiasts.

Both events take you along the foreshore bay trail and finish at the Village Green in Rosebud, where there will be free activities for the family.

AUSTRALIA DAY 2015 Australia Day parade a labour of love CINDY Last is retired, or so she says. The former professional conference co-ordinator has spent the last decade organising the Mornington Australia Day parade and has no plans for another retirement.

A sea change with her husband in 2000 signified a change from the corporate life for Cindy who soon found ways to put her skills into action in her new hometown.

“This will be my 12th Australia Day Parade I have coordinated with the help of many volunteers and the support of my family,” says the great grandmother. “I’m one of the lucky people who have lots of energy and I love doing this.”

This year the Mornington Australia Day Parade will involve 43 different community groups, and Cindy is proud to be able to showcase the peninsula community.

“We have the girl guides, the air force, cadets, stilt walkers, theatre groups and the CFA to name a few. The Fifth Sixth Royal Victoria Regiment Pipes and Drums Band will lead the parade, which starts in Hampden Street and culminates at Mornington Park,” says Cindy. “The parade will be led by Australia Day Ambassador, Professor Norman Eizenberg. And the disabled surfers will be in the parade for the second year.”

Visitors will be in for a treat with the Eagles Formation Team of the Royal Victorian Aero Club flying over Main Street. The Australia Day Parade begins in Mornington at 5pm.

“With the help of my husband and volunteers, we marshal all the groups together beside Alexandra Park, co-ordinating them with their set numbers of order of marching. We get a lot of help from the Lions Club of Mt Eliza and volunteers from the shire.”

While Cindy says Australia Day is a huge day in itself, planning starts six months before with emails to all the groups that have been involved in previous years, and meetings with the shire.

“There is a tremendous amount of satisfaction when I stand in Hampden Street and see all the groups go by. I breathe of relief and enjoy how everything has come together, and start thinking about the next one.”

AUSTRALIA DAY 2015

Emu Plains Races an Oz Day tradition THE history of racing at the Emu Plains Racecourse goes back over 150 years. Early in the 1860’s one of the pioneers of the Westernport district Mr John Buckley who owned a very speedy mare. She was noted for her speed and challenges were frequently issued by other landholders of the district. It was decided to find a suitable reserve where a racecourse could be laid out. A tract of land in Coolart Rd called “The Emu Plain “ was selected and the first race meeting took place

there in January 1863 under the control of the Hastings & Balnarring Racing Club. Only one race meeting was held each year on New Year’s Day. Racing continued on the reserve until in 1928 the club became affiliated with the Victorian Racing Club and changed its name to the Bittern & Emu Plains Racing Club. Meetings were then held under VRC rules with VRC Stipendiary Stewards in charge.

Another change was made to the name of the club when on ANA Day [now

the railway station to the course was insufficient and many were left with a long walk to the course before their enjoyment began.

The racing club has gone from strength to strength over the past 20 years with crowd numbers on the increase and upgraded facilities at the racecourse. New toilet blocks have been installed along with a playground for the children and improved facilities for members.

The club has won the prestigious

Australia Day] the old club of many titles was reborn as the Balnarring Picnic Racing Club with Mr Dick Audley as the first President.

During the two world wars the armed forces took over the reserve for camps and exercises.

The Balnarring races have always been a popular event for locals and visitors alike. In the early days the Victorian railways ran special trains to Bittern to cater for the visitors and horses. On some days transport from

Picnic Racing Club of the year for the past three seasons.

The Balnarring Cup has always been run on Australia Day since 1948 and over the years many horses that have won the Cup have gone on to win races on the city and provincial tracks.

This year will be no exception with many well performed horses nominating for the race which will be run over 2000 metres.

Gates open at 9.30 am with the first of six races at 1.00 pm.

AUSTRALIA DAY 2015 Fireworks and pets

Australia Day road closures

FIREWORKS can be a great way to mark a celebration, but may seem scary to some of our furry friends.

Legal and publicised events with fireworks allow us time to prepare with our pets, but illegal and unsuspected discharges can terrify animals and their natural instinct to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;take flightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; becomes overwhelming.

Some very valuable advice is provided by RSPCA Victoria: ď Ž Prepare early. ď Ž Talk to your vet about the treatment options available for managing noise phobias â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ask them about any new treatment options. ď Ž Take your dog out for exercise before the fireworks start e.g. reasonably long walk, then after a couple of hours you can feed a meal. A tired and well-fed dog will be less anxious during the night. If you can, stay home to be with your pet. ď Ž Let your dog be with you and try to be calm and normal. Avoid fussing over your pet excessively but try to engage them in normal activities such as playing. Reward your dog for their calm behaviour; rewards include giving them treats and giving them their favourite dog toy. ď Ž Close the blinds/curtains, create a comfortable hiding place and allow your dog to go to there to feel safe, put on some music or the TV to help mask the noise outside, and distract your dog with games and food. ď Ž Dogs who panic can choke themselves on a collar or lead, so never tether your dog during these times and never use a choke chain to restrain your dog.

In order to safely deliver the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australia Day program of events, the Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operational plan involves closing roads.

Road closures are in place to accommodate for: Mornington Street Parade, Event precinct at Mornington Park, Fireworks displays in Mornington & Rye and the Rosebud Fun Run. MORNINGTON Main St, Mornington Rolling road closure, 4.45pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6.30pm Hampden St, Mornington Road closed, 3pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5.15pm Esplanade, Mornington Closed from Vancouver St to Main St, 4.45pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6.30pm (parade) Esplanade, Mornington Closed from Vancouver St to Main St, 8.30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10.00pm (fireworks) Flinders Dr, Mornington Closed, 6am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5.30pm RYE Point Nepean Rd, Rye Closed from Lyons St to Dundas St, 8.30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10pm SAFETY BEACH Marine Dr, Safety Beach Closed from Victoria St to Point Nepean Rd, 6.30am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 9.30am DROMANA Permien St, Dromana Closed, 6.30am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 10am

ď Ž Make sure your dog is microchipped and that your contact details are up to date on the microchip register.

Also ensure they are wearing an ID tag so they can be easily returned if they accidentally escape. ď Ž Direct supervision is important to help prevent injury or escape. If you cannot supervise your dog on the night consider making alternative arrangements so your dog will be supervised by a responsible person directly or consider boarding your dog so they will be safe.

What about cats, horses, rabbits and other pets?

Cats should be kept indoors during fireworks displays. Most cats will find somewhere safe to hide and will usually venture out when the noise stops. Make sure you cat is microchipped and your details are up to date on the microchip register in case they wander and become lost. Rabbits and other small animals like guinea pigs should be safely housed during the fireworks display.

Horses are particularly vulnerable to bolting when exposed to fireworks. If possible they should be securely stabled, or removed to a different location away from the fireworks display, and the risk of physical harm minimised.

Remove any sharp objects that might injure a panicking animal, cover stable windows to hide the sight of the fireworks and dim the noise, and make sure you supply plenty of food and water.
