No wiping out surf day smiles THERE was no disguising the pleasure felt by the hundreds of surfers and their helpers splashing around in the beach break at Point Leo on Saturday.

For its first surf “event” of the year, the Disabled Surfers’ Association Mornington Peninsula branch and 230 volunteers provided an unforgetable day at the beach for more than 60 disabled surfers.

Age was no barrier to participants who were ferried to the beach from Point Leo Life Saving Club aboard the DSA’s widewheeled wheelchairs.

As volunteers barbecued and distributed sausages on the beach, the surfers waited for their turn in the water.

Sitting or lying on surfboards, they rode the waves to the beach, confident that many willing hands were ready to pluck them from the water if there was a wipeout.

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 followed 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 fourlane 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 sign 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, FrankstonFlinders 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. Continued Page 4

Crews thanked for fire efforts EMERGENCY services crews have been thanked for their efforts during the recent fire at Hastings. “On behalf of our community and council I extend sincere thanks to all of the emergency services, the many volunteers and community members who assisted with the management of the recent fire in Hastings,� Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb has said. “It was pleasing to see the swift, successful and integrated approach of all services involved during the incident and the community coming together during this difficult time. “I urge all residents across the peninsula, and our visitors, to remain aware of the importance of acting on the fire danger ratings and having a bushfire survival plan.�

Cr Colomb said Mornington Peninsula Shire activated an Emergency Relief Centre at the Graham Myers Recreation Reserve in Bittern as a result of the fire. “The council acknowledges the Red Cross, Victorian Council of Churches, Ambulance Victoria and Shire officers who all did a fantastic job in hosting the relief centre and providing assistance to the community affected by the fire,� she said.

No houses were lost and there were no reports of major injury.

Warringine Park boardwalk was damaged during the fire and is closed to the public.

Crews have begun assessing dangerous trees and the boardwalks and will continue to patrol as required.

Smoke may still be visible from nearby communities and roads.

Residents should multiple sources to stay informed including 774 ABC local radio, commercial and designated radio stations or Sky News.

They should use the FireReady App, which sends notifications for incidents, total fire bans and what Fire Danger Rating is current.

There’s also the emergency vic.gov.au website,

Fire clean up ADDITIONAL waste vouchers are being made available to residents affected by the recent bushfires in Hastings and Bittern.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is offering the vouchers to help residents dispose of waste created by the fires on Saturday 3 January.

The vouchers can be used for ‘at-call’ waste

collection, or at any of the shire’s transfer stations or hoppers.

Residents from fire-affected properties can obtain the waste vouchers by calling the shire on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000.

Customer service centres are at 90 Besgrove St, Rosebud, 2 Queen St, Mornington, 21 Marine Pde, Hastings and 14 Edward St, Somerville (inside the community centre).

The offices are open 8.30am-5pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.

Danger ‘not over’ WITH the cooler weather providing some respite in what has already been a very active fire season, peninsula residents are reminded not to become complacent about fire danger period restrictions and fire safety.

CFA District 8 operations manager Mike Owen said despite the rain and cooler weather over the past week the fire danger period and its restrictions remain in place. “While some relief from the hot weather and dangerous fire conditions are welcomed by the fire services it is important to remember the fire season is far from over – in fact we haven’t even reached the half-way point yet,� he said. “The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting a lot of hot weather to come – meaning it won’t take long for vegetation to dry out again and become a serious fire hazard.�

Mr Owen said it had been a “very early start� to the fire season with predictions for this year being an above average to potentially major fire season. “During the fire danger period (FDP) fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from CFA or a municipal fire prevention officer. FDPs are based on local conditions and take into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall.�

Penalties for lightening an open air fire during the fire danger period can be up to $17,000 and or 12 months imprisonment. “It’s just not worth it,� Mr Owen said. “Fire danger periods are declared for each municipality and apply continuously throughout the whole period, even when it is raining. The timings will vary from year to year and area to area depending on risk. CFA decides when the FDP is declared and revoked. “On total fire ban days, additional restrictions are added to the ones already in place for the fire danger period.�

For more information visit “Can I or Can’t I?� or call 1800 240 667. All burn-offs should be registered with the VicFire Burn-off notification line on 1800 668 511.

“Driving is a complex task that you need to be alert for. Even small amounts of alcohol impair your ability to make timely and safe decisions," Ms Dore said.

Designated drivers will be given a coffee cup, sunscreen, air fresheners and confectionary under the Zero Hero initiative, which aims to encourage race-goers who volunteer

not drink and drive. Ms Dore said research shows regional drivers are more likely to drink and drive than residents in metropolitan Melbourne.

“Regional drivers surveyed said they ran the risk of drink driving when they felt there was no other way to get home, their trip home hadn’t been planned or that they were a good driver and in control – regardless of having consumed alcohol,” she said.

“If you’re planning on driving, don’t drink, and if you are drinking at the [Balnarring] cup, don’t drive.”

Pop award win music to Richard’s ears Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN Arthurs Seat musician has gone close to topping the charts in songwriting in the world’s toughest music market.

Richard Adams, 59, of Arthurs Seat Rd, was one of five finalists in the ‘pop’ category of the American Songwriting Awards in November and, although he didn’t win, was gratified that his entry was among the very best of 1200 entries.

He won a trophy and acclaim from his peers.

Held annually in Las Vegas, the awards are described as “a beacon for music industry professionals and an amazing celebration of talent, creativity and, of course, music”.

A screening committee composed of music industry professionals chooses the top 10 best songwriting entries from 10 categories to be recognised as awards nominees, with the best five from each category as finalists.

Chosen from entrants all over the world, finalists are invited to attend the awards where prizes of $25,000 cash are up for grabs as well as key introductions, product packages from sponsors, and exposure to an international audience.

Mr Adams said he had been “playing music a long time”, strumming guitar and playing piano for smalltime covers band Little Ray. The band plays the usual weddings and club social night circuit and has fun making music, he said.

Back to Red Hill MEMORIES will come flooding back to those attending the Back to Red Hill celebration at the Community Hall, Mechanics Rd, 1-4pm, Sunday 22 March.

Those attending are asked to text their names and the words Red Hill to Ray on 0438 874 172. They are also asked to write a page or more about their memories of Red Hill.

If there was a prize for the person travelling the greatest distance to attend, it could probably be claimed

by Sybil Cummings, nee Colliver, of Cairns, Queensland.

For further information call Ray Gibb, of Rosebud, on 0438 874 172.

times exchanged his work with other writers on social media sites, where peer critiques are valuable in improving the quality of his work. While on one site, Mr Adams saw a request for applications for the US songwriting awards and, on the spur of the moment, entered a song he liked: My Dementing Rabbit.

“It wasn’t a bad song, although pretty morbid,” he quipped. “It’s

about someone having cardiac arrest and seeing the supposed white light as they move into the next world. I was trying to guess what it would be like.”

After entering, Mr Adams said he “just forgot about it” so an email from awards organisers in Las Vegas in November came as a pleasant surprise: he and his wife Monica were being offered free accommodation for three nights at the Downtown Grand Las

Vegas for judging and presentations.

“Unfortunately, no free airfares were in the offing but the chance to see parts of the US where we hadn’t been was wonderful,” he said.

The couple stayed three weeks, visiting the Grand Canyon, Los Angeles and San Francisco “having a wow of his time” before flying home.

Now there’s a song in the making.

THE Sorrento season of the cabaret Spiegelicious and children’s show Animalicious has been extended by three weekends.

The shows have been running to capacity audiences since mid-December.

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 figures, shire sustainable organisation di-

rector 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 Rendall 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

Grants for environment programs THREE Mornington Peninsula and Western Port projects have received $58,000 in Landcare grants.

They are Western Port Seagrass Partnership, Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group and Lord Somers Camp and Power House.

Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt said the 25th anniversary Landcare Grants program would help ensure agricultural practices were sustainable and the natural environment “is healthy for future generations”.

Lord Somers Camp and Power House will use its $19,400 grant to rehabilitate two hectares of the Merricks Creek catchment area impacted by erosion and large quantities of introduced species.

“The work will be completed over a number of months by our dedicated group of volunteers under the supervision of our environment and

sustainability committee,” the group’s CEO Mark Thomson said.

“This is part of a 10-year master plan to rehabilitate the environment surrounding the camp to benefit the site and also to provide a better environment for our local community to enjoy.”

Western Port Seagrass Partnership will use its $19,600 grant to plant 3000 mangroves at Lang Lang cliffs to combat erosion. The project will include seed collection and propagation by Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises at its mangrove nursery in Mornington.

Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group will use its $19,000 grant to increase nesting hollows for hollow-dependent mammals, such as small bats, gliders, possums and birds. The program will be carried out in conjunction with La Trobe University.

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.

Signs on the way to freeway

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

Continued from Page 1 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

One year gives edge to Diamond winner 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 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.

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

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

Police nab 17 drink-drivers TAYLAH Perry

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.

POLICE breath tested more than 2400 motorists on the Mornington Peninsula on Sunday 11 January.

The drink-driving blitz was conducted by highway patrol officers and police from the Road Policing Drug and Alcohol Section testing drivers in Rye, Sorrento and Portsea.

During the operation, 17 drivers were found to be over the blood alcohol limit, including a P-plate driver who blew 0.133 per cent.

Rosebud highway patrol Sergeant Pete Martin said it was concerning that people were still choosing to drink and drive, but he was pleased

police were able to detect and remove these drivers from local roads.

“Despite years of education, it is disappointing that people choose to put their own lives and the lives of other road users at risk by drinking and driving,” he said.

“It’s also shocking to hear some of the reasons people give for drink-driving. Last night, we heard everything from ‘I was returning from a wedding’ to ‘I was going to get fish and chips’.

“There is no excuse for this behaviour. The message for drivers is simple: if you’ve been drinking, don’t drive.”

Grey skies, choppy seas no handicap for these surfers Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE sight of the little boy running excitedly up the beach and wrapping his arms around his mother’s legs before running in circles is reward enough for the 20 or so onlookers whooping and cheering him from the water’s edge.

His joyful careering around in the sand reminds me of a small puppy let off the lead.

It is just one small cameo enacted out on Point Leo beach on Saturday as 60 disabled surfers take to the water helped by a small army of volunteers.

The Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch is holding

the first of the year’s two surfing days.

Overcast skies and choppy surf fail to dim the expectations of surfers and as one surfboard after another is carried out to the breakers.

Once floating on the water the surfers eagerly await a suitable wave that will carry them through a tunnel of outstretched arms to the beach.

The breaking waves momentarily cover-up the boards and their passengers (a volunteer hangs on the back of every board) and just as suddenly a smiling face or hands giving the thumbs up appear.

Whoops and cheers, splashes and some crashes. The day at the beach is so different to the norm, giving carers and their charges a new lease of life.

25%

Although the DSAMP surf days are a highly organised version of what is generally a disorganised activity, there is no way of event-managing an individual’s reaction.

Apprehension and fear are taken care of by the closeness of volunteers’ willing hands. From wheelchair to surfboard, the disabled surfers are surrounded by a team of coloured-coded helpers. (Grey for carers; red, team leaders; green, beach marshalls; blue, volunteers; yellow, surfers.)

But the closeness of so many people cannot affect personal exhilaration.

The joy and experience belong to the individual, the surfer.

There is no way of reproducing the feel or the energy of a wave.

our surfing teams prudently moved to quieter waters down the beach.

“Yes, there were a few wipeouts but our adventurous surfers weren't deterred and just asked for more.”

Mr Hallett said an increasing number of younger volunteers was “a great sign of the times of our youngsters getting into community help”.

“We believe the oldest volunteer was about 70, so it's a good day for young and old.”

The next DSAMP surf day is Saturday 14 March with volunteer registrations open at 10am for an 11am start.

Registration for participant surfers will open at 10am-1.30pm.

Local law puts chilly cart on ice Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE horrendous fines just keep on coming for the Rosebud West man caught driving his motorised car fridge alongside Point Nepean Rd on Saturday.

On top of receiving a $738 fine for driving while unlicensed, and $738 for driving an unregistered vehicle, he will be hit with another $500 release fee by the shire.

That makes for an expensive – $1976 – trip to the shops …

Hastings Highway Patrol police apprehended Chris Ryan, 29, driving his 49cc motorised esky on the footpath gave him a roadside breath test which came back negative.

His four-wheel petrol-powered esky was then impounded for 30 days under the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s local laws relating to the use of unregistered recreational vehicles on council land.

It is believed Mr Ryan is disabled and has never been licenced to drive a motor vehicle. He told a weekend newspaper he believed a warning would have sufficed.

Facebook comments were mostly supportive of his stance: “Some of these coppers loosen up. So, who is booking the coppers when they break the law?” - Brad Skeels.

“It's public land - not council land; they work for us. It’s the nanny state at work again. What's the difference between this and an old person’s scooter.” - Paul Lyon.

“What about people on those scooters? They are more dangerous. I have

His vehicle had been impounded and he faces multiple fines because of a local law that makes the esky a prohibited vehicle.

been run into many a time and they come so fast around corners. Sorry oldies and people with disabilities but you need to slow done.” - Heather Templeman.

“You are kidding me? Can't we do anything anymore? This country is getting to be all about fines and getting money from you. This is a joke!”

- Joanne Labriola “Blimey! A bit of harmless fun. Go and catch the real crims.” - Jennifer Kingston.

“Only Vic Pol could turn a funny story into revenue raising.” - Anthony James Byrne.

“$1400 fine. I think that is ridiculous!” - Lisa Stewart.

The shire's general purpose local law was amended last March to give police the authority to seize and impound illegally ridden recreational vehicles, like ‘monkey bikes’ or motorised eskies.

A shire spokesperson said Mr Ryan’s $500 fee includes a release fee and a fee for the tow truck.

“If the seized vehicle is not claimed within an appropriate time frame - 30 days - then the vehicle will be destroyed in accordance with the local law,” she said.

Mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the local

law amendment was a result of “ongoing safety and amenity concerns raised by our community and the police”.

She said input from the local community and police was sought in developing the local law.

“Community safety is our priority and illegally ridden or modified vehicles can present a danger or possible injury to people, and can impact others' enjoyment of the area and their health and safety.”

Mr Ryan reportedly claimed Rosebud police often saw him riding his esky — which can reach a maximum speed of 20kph — off road without taking action.

Electric bikes and four-wheel mobility scooters of less than 200 watts are allowed on footpaths provided they travel at less than 10kph.

Acting Senior Sergeant David Collins, of Hastings Police, said footpaths had to be kept safe for pedestrians. “They have a right to expect that they won’t be bowled over when they are walking down the street.

“It’s always difficult for us in cases like this: public perception may be with us or against us.”

Boneo horse event TOP line equestrian events, The Boneo Classic, will be held at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre from 22–25 January.

The event will feature the Pacific League World Cup Dressage Final and the final round of the Show Jumping World Cup Series.

Winners of each discipline will represent Australia at the World Cup Final in Las Vegas in April.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb welcomed local riders Caroline Wagner and Jamie Coman at Boneo Park last week.

Wagner, of Somerville, won the 2014 Sydney International Dressage Event. She will compete in the Pacific League World Cup Dressage Final at the Boneo Classic.Coman, of Tuerong, represented Australia at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and is a former Australian Show Jumping national coach.

He will compete in the Show Jumping World Cup Final at Boneo.

“It’s a real coup for the Mornington Peninsula to have an event of this significance in our backyard,” Cr Colomb said. “The peninsula’s equine industry makes a substantial economic and social contribution to the community, with an estimated economic value of $142 million. The industry is vibrant and varied and the council is proud to be supporting the CDI Under 25 Grand Prix classes at the event.”

Boneo Park boss Fiona Selby said that as well as the serious equestrian competition in the arenas, there will be fun and entertainment for the family.

“The feature days are Saturday and Sunday (24 and 25 January) with its horse and pony rides, children's entertainment, the equestrian shopping village and a ‘meet and greet’ with Olympic riders,” she said.

‘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 issuesâ€? 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

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.â€?

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 spiritualâ€?.

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.�

Apology: Swami Shankarananda has apologised for the “disastrous effect� his actions have had on members of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga at Mt Eliza. Picture: Gary Sissons

NEWS DESK 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.

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.”

What is an anode and how long should it last?

By Ron Gunn of Utow Caravans WE all take the hot water that we get when we wash the dishes in our caravan for granted. So we should, we paid good money to have the electric or gas or gas/electric hot water heater fitted to our caravan.

What we don’t realize is that the water quality around our country is not always that good and as such tends to either destroy the inside of the water holding tank or the sacrificial anode.

Anode. What is that? The majority of good quality hot water services have an anode which is of a softer material than the tank itself and when the minerals which are so often found in our water systems (especially bore water) starts to react with the tank, the anode is what is eaten away first, thus saving the tank from corrosion.

If you have had anything to do with outboard motors or motorised water craft you will notice the sacrificial areas on the bottom of the motor that are replaced every so often as they wear out, same goes for the inside of the water tank.

The sacrificial anode on a suburban hot water system is just a nut down the lower edge

of the system.

A shifter or socket will remove this and check your anode condition. Be careful if it is rusty because you could break the surrounding areas on the tank if it is too difficult to remove. Using WD40 or CRC will help loosen this nut.

When you are replacing the anode use white Teflon tape to obtain a good seal.

How long should they last?

That depends entirely on the type of water being used, usually from 3 months to 12 months.

Pictured are a new anode, and

two that we have taken out of hot water services, can you spot the difference?

We have anodes in our shop if you decide to replace yours.

U-Tow Caravans can do servicing for your caravan and we are now qualified to do test and tag on your electrical appliances. We also have a wide range of Caravan Accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.

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.

Kevin Parkinson, Mt Eliza

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 through their taxes in an equitable way where everyone contributes, not just the ordinary people, with the well to do and corporations getting away with contributing little.

Comforting costs 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

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 business 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.

NEWS DESK Police probe scout boat accident

CO SE N N RV O TR IC AC E TS

WATER police are still interviewing witnesses after a13-year-old scout was severely injured in a boating accident at Mt Martha on 7 January.

He was admitted to the Royal Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in a critical condition with medium-to-high speed propeller strike injuries to his arms, lower body and lower limbs.

Police admit he is facing extensive and long-term rehabilitation and a long stay in emergency care.

The boy was among more than 700 scouts aged 10-14 at the week-long BayJam 2015 camp at Joseph Harris Park near Hearn Rd. He fell from a boat and was struck by the propeller before being taken by ambulance to the Royal Children's for surgery where his condition on Thursday was described as stable.

Scouts Victoria Chief Commissioner Brendan Watson said the accident had upset all involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scouts Victoria is a safety-first organisation and we take all efforts to protect the young people in our care,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volunteer leaders running the boating activity are experienced and accredited instructors, with qualifications in power and safety boat operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paramedics said the first aid response by the scout leaders who responded to the incident was exceptional, allowing them to stabilise the boy for immediate surgery. We have also arranged support for the leaders and scouts affected by this incident."

Sergeant Adrian Sinclair, of the Water Police Marine Investigation Unit, said the cause of the accident was still being investigated.

Uberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival challenges 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.

Uberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online system allows travellers to request a car ride via its mobile phone app to any destination covered by the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Uberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service is a threat to the taxi industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 250plus cities around the world where the ride-sharing service is available.

Online advertising over the Christmas and New Year break spruiked Uber being â&#x20AC;&#x153;everywhere this summerâ&#x20AC;Ś all the way to Sorrento and Portseaâ&#x20AC;?.

Driving for business: Uber has launched its ride-sharing service in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula to compete with taxi operators despite being unregulated in Victoria. Picture source: Instagram

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 ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7.30 program last week: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are calling for them [regulators] to remove the ambiguity and to put in place sensible safety-based legislation for ride-sharing which is proconsumer and is not about protecting incumbents from competitionâ&#x20AC;?.

Western Port News 20 January 2015

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;dig up dirtâ&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this day and age you expect competition but the competition needs to be on a level playing field and currently with Uber itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not,â&#x20AC;? 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.

‘Impossible’ taxi test Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A Mt Martha man is claiming the new Taxi Services Commission test for drivers is unpassable. And he says he will go to the Small Claims Tribunal to recoup his $480 costs.

Dennis Marshall, university educated and a teacher for 40 years, said the test – designed to assess driver behaviour, general skills and geographical skills – was written in such a way as to be confusing and contradictory.

The driver accreditation – knowledge and training for taxis test – was introduced by the Victorian Taxi Services Commission in July. It is broadly based on the nationally recognised Certificate II in Driving Operations course.

New drivers – or those with less than five years’ experience – must sit and pass or look for other employment. The tests are conducted in modules.

Each module costs $66.

A Taxi Services Commission spokesman last week confirmed that only seven drivers had passed the three modules required to attain the Knowledge.

He said that from 30 June last year to 2 January this year, 463 people had sat the Knowledge test with 60 passing one or more modules. Passes in three modules are required. These figures include both taxi and hire car drivers.

Mr Marshall, of Barrow St, said the computergenerated test was formatted in such a ‘dodgy’ way that it is “no wonder the pass rate is so low”.

He slammed it as not being a valid measure of competence because its style and structure is so poor. “One question has six parts and if you get one part wrong you fail the whole question,” he said.

“There are 55 questions in the 60-minute test and you are allowed to get seven wrong.

Applicants are told they either pass or are ‘not yet competent’. No marks are given.

“Many are scenario-type questions asking what drivers should do in various situations, and many

Testing time: Taxi licence aspirant Dennis Marshall has marked the Knowledge test as a ‘fail’.

answers would be equally appropriate; some are audio questions which you have listen to for possible responses, and they take time to go through.

“After so many years as a teacher I know how to set questions, and I can understand why so few prospective drivers have passed.”

Mr Marshall sat the tests in October – once in Frankston - hoping to drive cabs on the peninsula, but this is now not possible. He is set to become a bus driver instead. “People think only foreigners with a limited knowledge of the city and suburbs and not much understanding of customer service fail the test,” he said. “But that’s not true.”

And he is disappointed that, despite studying hard for the test and failing twice, he received no feedback from test administrator Genix on where he went wrong. He has now applied – through Freedom of Information – to find out his actual marks.

After failing twice he cannot sit again for 12 months.

“A testing regime that has only a 1 per cent pass rate is doomed to fail,” Mr Marshall said. “I am sure they will change it quietly now or they will have no new drivers coming through.”

Mr Marshall said he would “go through the little courts” to get his money back - unlike most other applicants. “They’ll take a lot of people’s money.”

The Taxi Services Commission spokesman said the test had not been designed to be deliberately hard. “It has been designed to improve standards across the industry to address rising complaints from the public about taxi drivers and lowering standards across the taxi industry.”

The spokesman admitted drivers were “still struggling” with elements of the Driver Behaviour module. “Questions relating to how to use the ‘Not for Hire’ sign and how to manage fatigue are still some of the top questions that drivers are failing.

“The Taxi Services Commission is constantly reviewing and improving the test. Drivers who take the time to do appropriate study and preparation should be able to pass the relevant modules.”

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.

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.

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.

For tickets to see The Getaway Plan at The Pelly Bar (Pier Live) Davey St, Frankston on January 24 head to http://www.moshtix. com.au and like the boys on Facebook to stay up to date on album release date details https://www.facebook.com/ thegetawayplan JESSICA MILLS

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE – INXS CHISEL OILS! Australia Day Eve Sunday 25th January the Hallam Hotel explodes with an Oz Rock Trifecta bringing together the music of three of Australian Rock music’s biggest bands, Cold Chisel, INXS and the mighty Midnight Oil. Australia’s most renown tribute shows INXSive, Gold Chisel and The Midnight Oils Show come together in one super show at one of Melbourne’s most iconic live music venues, The Hallam Hotel.

Cold Chisel were unquestionably one of the finest and most respected rock groups in Australian history. The songs of Cold Chisel helped to form part of what we like to call “The Great Australian Soundtrack”, with many of them being best described as Australian Rock Anthems. It is with great pride that as Australian musicians GOLD CHISEL can take these songs across Australia and help many Aussies relive the memories and at the same time introduce these timeless classics to a whole new generation.

It’s a night of non-stop Aussie classics with three big bands at one of Australia’s greatest live music venues. Join INXSive, Gold Chisel and The Oils for the Australian Made Tribute Supershow on Sunday 25th January from 8pm at the Hallam Hotel, Princes Hwy Hallam. Tickets available at hallamhotel.com.au SIMON MILLS

KJD PHOTOGRAPHY

DAVEY’S HOTEL

INXS-IVE reproduce not only the sound of INXS, but also the live show that made them as memorable as they are today. INXS-IVE give every audience the opportunity to

re-experience the inspiring, and proudly Australian, music that INXS created. A must see for all INXS fans!

Midnight Oil were more than just a rock & roll band. From the northern beaches of Sydney to the streets of Manhattan, they stopped traffic, inflamed passions, inspired fans, challenged the concepts of “business as usual” and broke new ground. To see Midnight Oil in full flight was to experience the full visceral, transcendent, kinetic power of live rock & roll. To experience Midnight Oil was to be inspired by ideas, to be encouraged to live life more passionately, to get involved in the world around you.

Bringing Back The Oils - The Midnight Oil Show celebrate the music, the influences, and the artistry of Midnight Oil, as we share it with a new generation. They’re bringing back THE OILS…with or without them!

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 Mornington’s front-line bowling attack tore through the Old Boys’ 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.

There’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 O’Connor were rewarded for their efforts with a wicket each.

Magpies’ 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 O’Connor (14) are back in the sheds.

Luke Herrington (1/9 off six) and Brad Davidson (1/7 from seven) are the Magpies’ 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 wasn’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, Rye’s batsmen were not able to hold off the opposition’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 Islanders’ 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 Parkers’ 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

PAGE 46

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 Braves’ 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 Martha’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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor did all that he

Tootgarook has set Rosebud 227 for victory after scoring 9/226 in their clash at Truemans Road Reserve.

The Buds will go two games clear

of the Frogs if they can chase down the total. Tootgarook will claim second place if they can defend the total.
