Jobs axed at shire
Round 2 expected this week Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s new CEO Carl Cowie has started retrenching staff. The first of several axes fell last Friday, the 13th, when 17 people lost their jobs. It is understood more people will go this Friday. The job losses come after a threemonth review of the entire shire operations by Mr Cowie and his senior executives. The shire’s four directors were called to meetings with the CEO on Friday 6 March to be told the fate of their departments. The shire has about 1000 full-time equivalent staff. The News understands that some directors, managers and middle management staff are among those to lose their jobs in the shake-up. Departments to lose staff include infrastructure, engineering, governance, corporate support, IT, recreation, tourism, economic development, and social welfare. The axe is expected to fall in the planning department this week. Mr Cowie was appointed in late November to replace long-time CEO Michael Kennedy, who unexpectedly left the shire mid-November after almost 16 years. He had just been told by councillors his names was not on the

short list of candidates when his job was advertised for the first time since his appointment in 1999. Mr Cowie is the third CEO of the super shire created by forced amalgamation almost 20 years ago. He follows Warwick Dilley (1995-99) and Dr Kennedy (1999-2014). Last year, the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said councillors were “looking forward to introducing Carl to the Mornington Peninsula community. He will bring a fresh perspective to the leadership role”. Cr Colomb said Mr Cowie “is an internationally experienced senior executive leader, who has used his finance background to lead significant business turnarounds”. “Through strong personal management, his philosophy is one of a ‘hands-on’ approach to building high performance teams and executing a clear business strategy.” Mr Cowie holds qualifications in economics, finance, an MBA from Monash Mt Eliza Business School, and studied at Harvard’s School of Public Health in Boston. He is a qualified accountant and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Neither the mayor Cr Bev Colomb or CEO Mr Cowie responded to The News on Monday to questions about the job losses.

Rowers rise to the challenge of Atlantic crossing attempt Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ROWING across the Atlantic might not seem like everyone’s idea of a holiday. But Balnarring resident Peter Fletcher, 36, and his mate Tom Hudson, 33, of Melbourne, can’t wait to get going. The pair aims to become the first to row a boat from America to mainland England - a distance of more than 3000 nautical miles. They will leave New York in May and – if all goes well land at Bristol in late July before proceeding through inland waterways on their way to London. As far as possible the men aim to hitch a ride with the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic currents which slowly track north east across the ocean. They are hoping to emulate the Inuit practice of eating high fat foods, providing them with a much greater calorie-to-weight ratio and slow energy release over a prolonged period. Rowing in support of the McGrath Foundation, the men are aware they will face big seas and cold temperatures as they row unsupported around the clock for up to 70 days. If successful, Fletcher will become the first Australian to row west to east across the Atlantic. He says they have been inspired to undertake the challenge through their work with student development organisation World Challenge Expeditions. World Challenge works in partnership with schools to prepare young people for life, helping them develop leadership skills, teamwork and resilience, through student-led expeditions overseas. “In many ways this is our world challenge, which has been inspired by the Australian students who have completed the program,” Fletcher said. “Hopefully, now we can pay back a bit of that inspiration.” Mornington Peninsula schools taking part in the world challenge program are Rosebud Secondary, Mt Eliza Secondary, Mornington Secondary, Peninsula School, Flinders Christian College and Toorak College.

Swim wins set up Sydney challenge PENINSULA Pelicans Swimming Club is celebrating after one of its swimmers won all four of his open events in the Metro South District championships at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre last Sunday week. Angus Robb, 18, won the 200 metres individual medley, 100 metres breaststroke, 100 metres backstroke and 200 metres breaststroke events, collecting a national time in the 100 breaststroke event at the same time. Robb, who has trained with coach Jess Bird for seven years, said he was stunned by the result. “I knew I had won everything; I just didn’t tell anyone,” he said.
The events were run in three heats so it wasn’t until all heats were raced that the winner was announced. “When I realised I made the national time, it was a massive weight off my shoulders and it was such a relief.” Ms Bird said she was pleased with Robb’s achievement, but he has a way to go. “Humans were not designed to function efficiently in water, so the more time you spend training the more comfortable it becomes. “Angus has only been competing for four years, so it’s a great achievement. It will be interesting to see how he fares at the nationals in Sydney in That winning feeling: Angus Robb with coach Jess Bird after April.” he won all four swimming events at MSAC.

Top cut: Cleopatra McLeish has her hair shaved by friend Carly Benad for the World’s Greatest Shave. Picture: Gary Sissons
Off with the lot - for a cause TWO young Western Port women made a sacrifice for a cause on Friday. They had their hair shaved off to help fight cancer. Tahalia Putland, 22, of Hastings, and Cleopatra McLeish, 13, of Crib Point, took the plunge to raise money for the World's Greatest Shave. This is one of the biggest and most popular fundraising events. Every March thousands of people are sponsored by friends, workmates and relatives to shave, colour or wax their hair to help people with blood cancer. Money raised helps the Leukaemia Foundation get the support they need and continue the search for cures. Tahalia, who works at Fun 4 Kids child care centre in High St, lives and works in Hastings and was motivated to help her dad, Robert, who has been
battling non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for several years. “My dad has cancer and even my dog died of cancer, so I had some motivation to help,” she said. “I have wanted to do it for a few years now.” Watching her “very thick, bushy hair” fall to floor after a No. 1 razor cut was more than an eye-opener. “I was feeling adventurous and went all the way with a No. 1,” she said. Tahalia had set her sights on raising $500 for the appeal but, in the end, raised $631. “What she and others are doing is a wonderful thing,” said mum Gina, who lived in Hastings for many years while running the Bali at Home store. They now live in Violet Town, northeast Victoria, and could not be at Hastings for Tahalia’s big day out.
Cleopatra McLeish did her bit for the World’s Greatest Shave. With the help of local stores Crib Point Cellars, Café 201 and Matty’s Bar and Bistro she raised $554. Motivation may have come from concern for her mum, Tammy, and also a grandmother, who had cancer and leukaemia issues. This prompted Cleopatra to go online and register her interest in raising money for the cause. She put in a big funraising effort and, last Friday afternon, gathered friends and supporters for a raffle and sausage sizzle outside the cellars. Then it was down to business with friend Carly Benad cutting off her long brown hair. “She had the support of the whole community,” Tammy said. “She did a wonderful job.”

Shire strategies to end violence PREVENTING family violence across the Mornington Peninsula is something the shire is determined to achieve. It has formally committed to the task and is developing a three-year prevention implementation plan as part of a broader Community Harm Prevention Strategy. The statement of commitment for the prevention of family violence was endorsed by the council at its meeting on 24 November. The mayor Bev Colomb said the statement reaffirmed a broader commitment to the prevention of family violence and built on existing work in support of the shire’s Health and Wellbeing Plan 2013-2017 to raise awareness. “Local government has an important role to play in fostering safe and healthy communities,” she said. “The shire is committed to promoting a culture of community harmony, wellbeing and a sense of safety and belonging. It is well positioned to take a leadership role on this important community issue, and will continue to collaborate with the Peninsula Model, the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Network, Victoria Police, advocates and our community. “This will progress work in the area of family violence prevention and foster an environment where we can all make a difference.”
Cr Colomb said the statement outlined that the shire will enable and promote: The shire as a safe place and act to eliminate violence in all its forms; Relationships between all members of the community are respectful and promote the rights of men, women and children to live free from violence; That women, men and children have the opportunity to participate equally in all spheres of public and private life without fear or discrimination. Increase awareness of family violence as a key social and health issue. The implementation plan will provide a framework for the shire to work in partnership with relevant support agencies to assist in the prevention of family violence.

Family fun day draws a big crowd THE first ever Somerville Family Day on Labour Day, Monday 9 March, had a big turnout, with up to 4000 enjoying the free day. The proceeds went to Somerville Auskick. The day was abuzz with residents young and old, children, babies, prams, pushers, wheelchairs and walking frames, with many heard to say: “This is exactly what Somerville needs”, organiser Felix Arena said. He and his sister, Grace Callea, had attempted to hand out programs to every family that came along but the 1000 booklets ran out halfway through. Promotional bags full of goodies supplied by local businesses were complemented by the smell of the sausage sizzle, and a percentage of slushie sales from Darren, of Brain Freeze Entertainment, contributed more than $330 in donations to Auskick. Troy, of Dragon City Amusements, was busy, and fairy floss, popcorn, lollies and show bags sold by Larissa Watts, of The Candy Hut, were a huge success. So, too, was “the world’s greatest ice-cream” in the Movenpick van by Arran and Sarah, who had backed up from the previous two nights at Federation Square and the Yarra River Walk over Moomba. “They still had carts running on the day in the city but chose to be at our event,” Mr Arena said. “This is a great indication on how strong our community bond is.” The free arts and craft zone organised by Angela Marotta and her family had the little ones’ imaginations soaring. With bunny ears and paper plate hats to design there was little time for colouring in and making coloured pasta necklaces. The face painting queue was long, but dozens of children waited patiently and were thrilled to be sitting in the chair being painted by Angela Gray and Larissa Marotta, who donated their time, without a break, to make sure the kids had a ball. “This was our first annual Somerville Family Day and was put together as an opportunity to increase community activity,” Mr Arena said. “We have a strong core as a community and we want to reward our local business and families for being there for each other. This event was entirely funded by donations and the tireless work of our volunteers.” Stephen Taylor

Station parking fees flagged for Frankston Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au COMMUTERS using Frankston train station in future may have to pay to park as part of the redevelopment of the transport hub. Labor pledged to spend $50 million to upgrade the train station and its surrounds before winning last November’s state election. The project may become a private public partnership joint venture. A Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce headed by Labor MP Paul Edbrooke has been established and formally met for the first time last Wednesday (11 March). “We are seeking private investment into this project and that might be in the way of buildings around the
PAGE 6
station [or] it could be in parking,” Mr Edbrooke said. “We [may] get someone who says ‘we will build or give you half the money for the car park’”. Representatives from council, police, Chisholm TAFE, the Frankston Business Network, Public Transport Victoria and government officials are taskforce members. The News understands talk at the first taskforce meeting held at the Frankston Arts Centre focused on structuring the project but the viability of building a multi-deck car park at the train station at a cost of about $20 million is focusing minds on the project’s overall budget. It is early days for the train station upgrade project, seen as vital to improve Frankston’s amenity and
Western Port News 17 March 2015
reputation, but even so the $20 million needed to build a new car park will put pressure on the $50 million budget allocated to revitalise the train station. Charging commuters to park at Frankston train station could be a way to ensure the station receives a state-of-the-art upgrade rather than a limited refurbishment. Parking at Frankston station’s car park is currently free but overcrowding makes it impossible to get a parking space at peak travel times. While Mr Edbrooke said paid parking could be on the agenda he said “it’s very premature” to know whether fees for parking will be introduced but “it’s quite a possibility in my mind”.
Mr Edbrooke said the myki card system could be used to pay for car parking but the taskforce had not yet discussed this option. The taskforce will formally meet each month. Frankston councillors met behind closed doors last Tuesday evening (10 March) to discuss council input into the station revamp. Deputy mayor Cr Glenn Aitken said “council is working to ensure it has a well-considered position regarding the redevelopment of the railway station precinct to present to the government taskforce”. Council’s draft interim submission will be available for community feedback before an official submission is made to the taskforce. A public meeting will be held
on 1 April before council’s formal submission is finalised. The previous Coalition government promised $33 million to upgrade the train station area before its November state election defeat. The Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce has nine members. They are: Paul Edbrooke (Frankston Labor MP), Sandra Mayer (Frankston mayor), Maria Peters (Chisholm TAFE CEO), Anthony Silva (Victoria Police), Karin Hann (Frankston Business Network executive officer), Jasminder Singh (Public Transport Victoria), Rob Robson (Public Transport Victoria), Julian Lyngcoln (Department of Environment and Primary Industries), Geoff Oulton (Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure).

STELLA’S Dromana Hotel has failed to win approval for nine extra poker machines to add to its existing 41 pokies. The application was refused last week by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation. The news came hot on the heels of an application by Mornington on Tanti Hotel seeking 17 pokies to take its total from 23 to 40. The Peninsula Club in Dromana, formerly Dromana-Red Hill RSL, won approval for 15 pokies last year. It had wanted 18 machines but a compromise was reached that saw the club make a large cash payment to a community group. It now has 35 pokies. The commission stated that “many of the impacts identified as a result of this [Dromana] application are marginal (both positive and negative), reflecting the small number of requested EGMs [poker machines] and the small estimated increase in gaming expenditure”. “Despite this, the no net detriment test is still to
Antonella Celi aimed to reinforce the shire’s responsible gaming policy position in its submission about the Tanti application. Cr Celi said she wanted the council to “maintain its commitment to opposing an increase of EGMs and for the VCGLR to strongly consider the net socio-economic impact on vulnerable communities on the peninsula”. “The council will be reviewing its gaming policy ... and seek to further strengthen the policy position particularly in the context of social and economic impact assessments and land use planning policies relating to electronic gaming machines on the peninsula,” she said. Last year a report to councillors stated the VCGLR had set a cap on the number of poker machines in the municipality – 1127. The peninsula has more than 825 pokies at 17 venues but being below the cap was not a valid reason to allow more poker machines, the report stated. Shire officers admitted the council’s 2001 responsible gaming strategy was out of date, as was a gaming policy framework prepared in 2007 for southeast region councils including the shire. A new shire policy is due next month.
Mornington serves up Tennis International SOME of the best up-and-coming Australian and international tennis players will hit it out at the Mornington Peninsula Tennis International this month. The event will be held at the Mornington Tennis Centre, Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Dunns Rd, Mornington. Up for grabs is the women’s US$15,000 ITF Futures event from 21-29 March, followed by the men’s US$15,000 ITF Challenger event
from 28 March-5 April. Mayor Bev Colomb said the Mornington Tennis Centre was a true “tennis destination” with its 12 conipur clay courts - the same as those used for the WTA event in Stuttgart. It was selected by Tennis Australia to attract international events to the region. “International and Australian players will have the chance to compete on this international-quality clay surface. As well as the top ten-

be applied and, if the balance is considered negative, the application must be refused. “The commission notes that in many cases of marginal social and economic impacts, the commission can take comfort in the demonstrated understanding and commitment to responsible gambling practices on the part of the venue operator to mitigate the marginal increase in the detrimental impacts. “However, after consideration of all the evidence presented in this matter, the commission cannot be satisfied that this is the case in this application. Therefore the commission is not satisfied that the net economic and social impact of the amendment will not be detrimental to the well-being of the community, including the immediately surrounding area or the wider area of the Mornington Peninsula Shire.” At last week’s Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting, councillors were told Mornington on Tanti had offered to cut its application by two poker machines and give $50,000 to a community fund. This was during discussion of an urgent business item put up by Seawinds Ward councillor
nis action there will be a range of free activities, including the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots clinics and Cardio Tennis sessions,” Cr Colomb said. “This event offers a fantastic opportunity for the community to see world class tennis right in our backyard, and I’m sure our local tennis and sporting fans in general can’t wait to come along and watch.” Australian Pro Tour manager Fiona Luscombe said the upcoming tournaments were key events on the
international tennis calendar. “Pro Tour events provide a fantastic opportunity for our rising stars of the sport to earn prize money and valuable world ranking points,” she said. “Mornington is a fantastic tennis venue and I encourage all fans to come along and share in the action.” Volunteer are welcome to be part of the event experience.

CRUISE ship passengers will again visit Mornington tomorrow (Wednesday) on the second P&O stopover in a month. The same ship that arrived on 24 February – the 63,700-tonne Pacific Pearl – will cruise direct from Sydney to the peninsula and return on a four night, one-stop voyage. This second visit is a vote of confidence in the town’s ability to interest and entertain its 1700 passengers, with most – again- expected to remain in Mornington enjoying the town’s attractions, while 30 per cent are expected to visit Peninsula Hot Springs or ride the Mornington Explorer bus to Arthur’s Seat and Sorrento for sightseeing. A P&O spokeswoman said sister ship, Pacific Eden, would visit Mornington on 12 and 30 January next year and the Pacific Jewel on 6 March. The 12 January visit is an eight-night cruise taking in Eden, Mornington, Portland and Kangaroo Island, and the latter two are four-night cruises direct from Sydney and return. Tomorrow’s visitors will be invited to sample wares at the 30-year-old Wednesday market in Main St, which sells home-made produce such as jams, olive oil, preserves, sauces and antipasto, alongside the usual crafts, clothing, accessories and jewellery. There will also be alpacas and live music, and shuttle buses all day back to the ship. Mornington Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Kim Rowe said passengers alighting from tenders would again be welcomed at the pier. “It’s the little things like this that make a difference,” she said. “The cruise line people were hugely pleased with our welcome – and es-
ONE of the two disabled French Island ferries is back in service. The Schouten Passage completed sea trials last week and was back in service on Wednesday. However, the larger George Bass remains tied up at the Stony Point jetty. As reported by The News last week the Department of Transport issued a stop notice on the George Bass on Friday 27 February.
The ferry is reported to have been running on one motor and was docking on the outside of the jetty because restricted manoeuvrability prevented it from using its normal landing inside of the jetty. While they were out of service, the ferries were in part replaced by a boat hired from Westernport Fishing Charters and schoolchildren were carried from the island to Stony Point by
private boats. A wedding planned for island was also cancelled. Hopeful passengers arriving by train from Frankston found about the disruption to ferry services when at Stony Point. Other passengers were brought back to Stony Point after the replacement ferry was unable to berth at Cowes, Phillip Island, because of bad weather. Picture: Gary Sissons
pecially the signs welcoming them to Mornington. Apparently we were the only township to give them such a warm welcome.” The Pacific Pearl had by then visited Eden, on the NSW south coast, to visit Mornington, Portland and Kangaroo Island over eight days. A P&O spokesman agreed the cruise visit “was clearly a big event for the local community and it showed”. “There is always something fresh and special about a new destination because everyone is trying so hard to make it a success and that was certainly true of Mornington,” he said. “Our passengers love meeting local people wherever they go and the warmth of the welcome can determine the success of a cruise call and Mornington certainly lived up to the warmest of expectations.” Mornington is being used as a ‘case study’ by the cruise line on how they should conduct regional visits. Ms Rowe said she believed “other cruise line operators were looking fondly at us” and that extra ships’ visits were possible. She said a “guestimate” was that $150,000-$200,000 was spent in the “local precinct” on the first visit, or around $100 per passenger. This included fees for anchoring and using the pier. The expected five visits would generate around $1 million, she said. Tour bus drivers have been asked to drop ship passengers off in Main St rather than at the pier, so more people will be able to attend the market. Again, shuttle buses will run up and down Main St. Stephen Taylor

Cyclist clings to life after early morning collision Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au AN early morning bike ride on Friday 6 March has left a father of three young children fighting for his life. Luke Matthews, 34, of Mt Eliza, was riding along Beleura Hill Rd, Mornington, at about 6.45am when he was hit by a concrete truck travelling in the opposite direction. Mr Matthews was knocked off his bike and suffered severe life threatening head injuries. The truck driver, a 57-year-old man from Woodleigh Vale, is cooperating with police. Mr Matthews, who works for the ANZ Bank, moved to Mt Eliza from Mentone in 2008 for the open spaces of Mt Eliza. He has three daughters eight years old and under; Sophie, Annabel and Olivia. “It is terribly difficult for these young kids. The fear and uncertainty they face is just heartbreaking,” said family friend Rowena Beach. “Luke’s wife Karen has to pick up the pieces and carry on as well as she can.” Mr Matthews has been in an induced coma since the accident, and attempts to bring him out of the coma have failed; his body reacting badly when doctors tried to lower his sedation levels. “He required urgent surgery for his head and facial injuries, including the removal of part of

his skull to relieve swelling on his brain,” Ms Beach said. “To make matters worse, on Friday a serious chest infection set in, which is a side-effect of having the breathing tube in”. Family and friends say they have been told Mr Matthews has a 50 per cent chance of survival. “The reality is setting in for the family,” said Ms Beach. “If Luke does pull through, it appears likely we are looking at a life-
time of disability.” Friends of Luke’s have started a Go Fund Me page to raise much needed funds for the family. “They are just an ordinary family who now face an uncertain future. We hope people will be able to dig deep to help with the bills and mortgage payments that are now going to become a struggle,” Ms Beach said. The website is at gofundme.com/ lukematthews

Questions and answers a’plenty Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting, Tuesday 10 March, Rosebud office. Tea and coffee in the foyer. THE public gallery was standing room only for last Tuesday’s meeting and many people had only just finished scribbling questions to council staff as councillors filed into the Rosebud chamber. Topic of the evening: the Skylift gondola, the contentious proposal that will effectively privatise the Arthurs Seat summit. But Council Watch will not add significantly to the wordage on this subject: reports appear elsewhere in this distinguished and, might CW say, superbly edited journal. It attracted a good number of people with a deep interest in Arthurs Seat, including the artfully tousled Simon McKeon, head of the Skylift consortium, and his associate Hans Brugman. Some 21 questions were received across a range of topics, among them the constant cost-shifting to ratepayers by federal and state governments, which begin by funding and gaining kudos for community schemes then hand the cost to ratepayers; the muchmaligned Mornington clock, this week gaining an hour after losing one the previous week, and the questioner Fred Crump suggesting it go straight
to an antique dealer; “vandalism” at a Rosebud park; the too-high speed limit on Point Leo Rd, to name a few. Then came 15 questions on Skylift. Shire CEO Carl Cowie described as “a mistake made by me” his decision to read out questions at council meetings. CW hopes he will continue to do this, in the interests of maintaining a direct dialogue with ratepayers. He will not deal with 21 questions at a meeting very often. “Bear with me in terms of reading some of the handwriting etcetera,” he said before launching into the first question. CW had seen some of the scribbling and knew Mr Cowie was in for a trying time. Computers have wrecked handwriting standards, as Margaret Bottari discovered when her name proved too high an obstacle. She was rendered as a Shakespearean character, the “r” and “i’ apparently having combined to form a different letter. Ms Jo Pittendrigh (pronounced Pit-ten-dry) of Red Hill fell at the jump, too. One typed question drew thanks from the
CEO. An interesting fact emerged in an answer to a question: a report will go to councillors soon on the shire’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral. This emerged in response to a question on Skylift. The commitment, which became shire policy late last year, will profoundly affect the shire and its residents over time. The carbon report to councillors was discussed after last Tuesday’s meeting ended. It is eagerly awaited by the burgeoning ranks of climate change believers seeking ways to reduce their footprint on the stressed planet. On this score, CW has changed his diet and is pleased to report a positive weight result; something for other portly chaps to consider. Later in the meeting, councillors voted to send colleagues Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser to the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives World Congress in Seoul, Korea, next month. Local governments from around the globe will be at the triennial event, this year’s called “Sustainable Solutions for an Urban Future”. They will hear Crs Rodgers and Fraser present information on the shire’s commitment to carbon neutrality. David Harrison
FRESH start for epilepsy help A SUPPORT group for epilepsy sufferers in the south east region has been established in Frankston. Seaford resident Sue Summer’s daughter Rebekah has lived with epilepsy for 23 years and the duo decided to set up a forum, with the help of The Epilepsy Foundation, for those affected by epilepsy and their carers (‘Building foundation for epilepsy help’, The News 28/10/14). An information session held at Patterson Lakes Community House in October was attended by “about 60 people”, according to Ms Summers. As a result of the information session “about 25 people” registered to go to monthly FRESH - Frankston Region Epilepsy Support Group meetings support meetings at St Francis Xavier Parish church in Frankston. “The church has allowed us free access to their hall which is lovely,” Ms Summers said. Before the Frankston epilepsy support group was established Sue and Rebekah travelled to Melbourne to attend The Epilepsy Foundation meetings. This journey could be stressful. Monthly meetings in Frankston have been held since November and
Stealers overpower Breakers THE Western Port Steelers easily accounted for the Breakers in last Saturday’s game at Mornington, running out 89-70. The Steelers had too much fire power, with import player Manuel Hendrix scoring 25 points and Kade Marra 21. Captain coach De Marcus Berry of the Breakers was the best scorer for the home team with 14, a quiet night for him. The Mornington Breakers women's team went down to Chelsea 38 -51
with four of their players out of the team. Due to injury it wasn't a bad effort after being down over 20 pts during the game to get within 13 of the Gulls at the finish of the game. The Mornington Breakers youth team came up trumps with and 72-56 win over the Steelers. Newly appointed Youth League coach Dave Hankin and former Bayside Blues player coached his team to a 72 to 56 win over the Steelers. Bob ‘The Hoop’ Clinton
‘Tranformation’ at women’s festival A WOMEN’S festival in Mt Martha next week will allow them “to dance wildly, transform, heal and share female wisdom from across generations”. Created “for women, by women”, Seven Sisters Festival at Bay Park 27-29 March claims to be the largest women’s only gathering in the Southern Hemisphere. Originator Dr Lauren Woodman said the festival recognised and addressed “the struggle women face in modern society to balance the demands of busy lifestyles, successful careers, family and relationships. “When so much of modern life
feels out-of-balance, Seven Sisters has created a space where women can rediscover their natural balance, and harness a reservoir of resources to help them drink deep and refill their cup to return to the world with renewed energy, enthusiasm and direction.” The three day-two night program offers workshops, talks and presentations, live music, performances, and entertainment. There will be community art projects and receive healing and guidance from 80 alternative and complementary health therapists and readers. Tickets at sevensistersfestival.com

Hearts breaking at the ashram Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TALES of personal grief, heartbreak and broken relationships continue to emerge in the aftermath of admissions of secret sexual relations between the spiritual leader and some of his female devotees at the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga, Mt Eliza. In the past week several new accounts of relationship breakdowns attributed to the actions of the school’s founder Swami Shankarananda have been described on a website established by his former followers. The owners of the leavingshivayoga website have told The News that they have been advised publishing personal testimonies “does not interfere with the ongoing work by the Victorian police or other counselling work that the women may be engaged in”. The three latest accounts of life at the school – a residential ashram in Tower Rd – have been made by people who wish to remain anonymous, although their identities are known to the publishers of the leavingshivayoga website. “The hurt and confusion in the Shiva Yoga community has been staggering and we have been saddened by how it has negatively impacted some of the couples whose partners were involved, but the management committee at the ashram is still sticking to its policy of total denial,” the publishers told The News. “In recent days they have even taken to taunting ex-members on Facebook with silly quotes and pictures. They have also forbidden their remaining members to look at the leavingshivayoga website or from meeting with exdevotees, which is being painted as ‘keeping bad company’.” Allegations of sexual impropriety by Swami Shankarananda with more than 40 women attending the ashram were revealed late December 2014. At that time the school’s management committee said it had advice that no laws had been broken but would provide free counselling for affected ashramites and had formed a subcommittee to write a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda. Swami Shankarananda issued a statement that, in part, said he had “profoundly underestimated the impact” of the tantric sexual activities of his own spiritual leader “and my own. I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour. Indeed, it has been stopped already”. Swami Shankarananda apologised “to the community and to anyone who

has been hurt by my actions or even by hearing of my actions”. The apologies and explanations did little to stop hundreds of people deserting the ashram’s regular Saturday night “satsang” (assembly) and prompted former supporters of the swami to reveal details of the inner workings of the ashram, including its economic base and tax exempt status. In the latest string of “testimonials” published by the leavingshivayoga website, a man ascribes his decision to speak to the minimal attention given to the effect of revelations of the swami’s actions on male members of the school. The man, who wants to explain how the alleged sexual impropriety had affected male devotees, said he had been involved with the Shiva School “for well over a decade and I saw Swamiji [who is also known as Swami Shankarananda and Russell Kruckman] as a kind of ultimate father figure, the ideal spiritual man, and I trusted him absolutely”. “But the sad reality is that nearly all the male devotees of Shiva Yoga were treated like dogs.”
The man goes on to describe having to make an appointment to “seek [Swamiji’s] advice on my most pressing spiritual problems” but doubts he received “a full hour of his time” in a decade. In the less than five-minute meetings “he would brush aside my question, patronise me and then send me packing...” “I was permanently mystified by the fact that the women seemed to be able to walk in and out of his room at will without even knocking and demand his attention for hours on end about the most ridiculous trivia,” the man continues. “The position of the men at Shiva Yoga can now be seen for what it was, that of the useful idiot.” The man says Shiva Yoga women “were educated to believe that it was perfectly acceptable – and even a secret spiritual practice – to lie to the face of her partner, and the pressure was on her to maintain an illusion of normality in her relationship”. “I have to live with the fact that I have sat in Shankarananda’s room asking him for help and advice because there is something ‘wrong’ with my
MOONAH LINKS
relationship, and meanwhile he was having sex with my partner. I feel traumatised and like a rape victim might.” The man said he was “blown away by the dignity, compassion and understanding” being shown by male friends from Shiva Yoga who were “in the same boat, and in the face of this disgusting betrayal”. A woman responding to the man’s letter said she was “one of the women” and had been “outraged and horrified when first approached for a sexual relationship”. However, it had been “explained to me that what was happening was ‘a shakti thing’ and was simply the natural enfoldment of our guru disciple relationship”. “I would often talk to him about feeling that it was wrong for me to cheat on my partner, to which he would reply with things like ‘oh baby, this lies outside the boundaries of the normal world. You can’t look at it with worldly eyes. You’re exploring the shakti with your guru and it’s not cheating’.” The woman said she had been told having sex “was a quick path to healing and enlightenment and that I would
only get the real benefits if I let it go further sexually”. “I am now going to a counsellor who specialises in sexual abuse and, after hearing what happened and how, she said it was classic predatory behaviour and that it constitutes emotional as well as sexual abuse. “For any of the women who were involved who have not admitted it to anyone yet – and I’m sure there are a lot – I want to tell you not to listen to the feeling that’s keeping you silent. “I thought I was never going to tell anybody about my experience. Partly because it was drummed into me, but also because I was ashamed and embarrassed and I thought that anyone I told would think I was disgusting and wouldn’t understand. “That hasn’t been my experience... Admitting it and speaking about it has been transformative and incredibly healing. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was trapped under a heavy weight that only started to lift once I spoke about it.” One day later, a second woman contacted leavingshivayoga admitting that she too “was in a sexual relationship with Russell [Kruckman]. I did not disclose that relationship to my partner because I believed that it was somehow ‘outside’ the parameters of how I would conduct myself normally within a relationship, as if it were taking place in some magical land separate to the reality of my life and the reality of my own inner values”. “It was supposed to be some divine and mystical experience; it was not. In fact, it filled me with confusion, with self-loathing and completely destabilised me for a long period of time.” The woman said that she too had been cautioned about telling her partner because “it will create unnecessary pain and suffering for everyone”. The woman said that she finally confessed to her partner as the relationship with “Russell” had become “a huge obstacle between us”. “It was a truly humbling experience to be on the receiving end of his relief and … to confirm for him [her partner] that his uneasy feelings were valid and then to experience his forgiveness, love and protection.” She hoped other women would “find the courage to first face yourself and then face the person next to you that has stood by your side through it all … there is nothing like the relinquishing of the strings that Russell has pulled for a great many of us, for way too many years”. “There is a life after SY that is actually far more peaceful and connecting; to your own inner being.”

Not a usual day at the beach Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MOST of us know what it’s like to leave home for the beach on a sunny day. Anticipation builds in the drive to the coast, making the final scramble up the sand dune overlooking the beach appear as easy as a walk in the park. The panorama of a wide open, sandy beach and welcoming blue water brings smile to every face. Try doing this in a wheelchair. The sheer innocent enjoyment of climbing a sand dune on a sunny day is denied to those who can’t walk, haven’t the full use of their limbs or can’t stand unaided. Experiencing the feeling of being swept along by the natural energy of a wave is also something denied to many people who haven’t the full use of their bodies. On Saturday, 97 people affected by a disability had their time in the sun thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers brought to Point Leo surf beach by the Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch. Whether taken to the water’s edge in wide-tyred wheelchairs, offered a shoulder on which to lean or merely holding hands with a carer, one after another the surfers were delivered into the welcoming and willing arms of volunteers. A one-foot shore break broke softly into the offshore northerly wind as the blue-shirted volunteers formed a corridor within which the surfers could safely ride their boards to the beach. Some lay on their boards, some sat in the padded “chairs” (designed and made by not-for-profit Solve Disability Solu-
tions) while others managed to get on their knees or even try standing. If they fell there were many hands reaching out to quickly scoop them from the white water and get them ready for a another ride. “I was quite astounded at the number of volunteers and the obvious enjoyment of the surfers,” Kevin Rydberg, of Mt Eiza, said. A lifesaver at Point Leo for 15 years in the mid 1960s and 1970s, the recently retired Mr Rydberg said he would “definitely” be among the volunteers for the next disabled surfers’ day in January 2016. “There’s some reasonably serious lifting needed, but I’ll be doing it at least until I’m 70,” he said. “This sort of thing makes you realise the truth of the term ‘there but for the grace of God go I’. “How lucky are we? I’d been surfing at Flinders early that morning and it’s just something we’ve always done and take for granted. “One [disabled] guy could only signal to us by winking, he couldn’t move any of his limbs. “He couldn’t smile when he caught three waves, but when I held his hand I could feel a little movement. “Being there on Saturday gives people like me an insight into the meaning of having a disability and a respect and admiration for the parents and carers.” Mr Rydberg was pleased to see that the lifesavers and their clubhouse were so involved with the disabled surfers. After checking in with the organisers, the first request made of this reporter was made by two young volunteers who
wanted a smart phone picture of them standing on the sand dune with the idyllic beach as a backdrop. They then ran off giggling, disappearing into what appeared to be a small army of blue-clad volunteers. On the beach it soon became obvious that age or size is no barrier to either volunteers or surfers. The only recurring hitch was volunteers attaching harnesses to manually haul the wheelchairs back along the beach and, when it was all over, up the sand dune. Hopefully, this effort will diminish over the next year if the DSA is able to raise enough money to build a wooden ramp and viewing platform over at least part of the Point Leo sand dune. The DSA is hoping the $60,000 cost can be shared by itself, Point Leo Life Saving Club, Point Leo Foreshore Committee and Mornington Peninsula Shire, which has referred its grant application to this year’s budget deliberations. DSA peninsula branch president Stewart Lochie said the response from parents and carers had been overwhelming. Organising the surfers and volunteers had gone so smoothly that “it felt like there were only 50 surfers and not 100”. “We hear so many different stories, including ones where this has been the first time one of the surfers has even been to the beach or touched a surfboard,” Mr Lochie said. “Many of the surfers are helpless in even one foot of water, but we make safety and their happiness our priorities. “Seeing the result, and the smiles, validates what we do.”

LETTERS Short sighted I was surprised at the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council vote last week that has no other purpose than to frustrate, delay or even prevent the development of the Arthurs Seat Skylift, any of which will come at a huge cost to ratepayers. While I can understand some residents on the summit oppose this development, the reality is that a planning permit has been granted and council has been further instructed by VCAT (Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal) to issue that permit, albeit subject to numerous strict conditions. The VCAT ruling was extensive, thorough and addressed all of the relevant issues in detail and this fact was not disputed by councillors during debate last Tuesday night. It was clear from the VCAT ruling that enough evidence was heard to deem that, for example, a bushfire emergency management plan was indeed attainable and VCAT so ordered such a plan be finalised before operations commenced (likely to be 12 months away) and certainly not within the current timeframe being demanded. My concern is that this council decision, using bushfire safety among other things as a pretence, could be hijacked to become a simple ruse to frustrate these VCAT orders. Council will now be forced to line by line second guess the recommendations from experts such as DELWP, CFA, police, emergency management Victoria, as well as council’s own CEO and their own professional experts. While it “technically” has every right to do so, if councillors actually voted against a recommendation from these authorities, it is then clearly an unprecedented vote of no confidence in their authority and technical expertise. It is a given that ratepayers would then be forced to foot the bill for the inevitable VCAT proceedings that followed. While I have great respect for our councillors, I sincerely doubt they have the technical expertise to defend their decision if it is contrary to this level of expert advice. In fact, history demonstrates that councils have had very little success on similar matters coming before VCAT and I would be surprised if this had not been made clear to Cr Hugh Fraser before he rolled the dice and moved this motion which passed with the support of four other councillors. The Arthurs Seat Skylift has always enjoyed bipartisan support at state and federal level because of its status as an historic attraction now providing access for the elderly, disabled and families with small children and of course, the direct and long term positive impact for the broader local economy. I am mystified why council has chosen to politicise this development and create what can only be described as a sovereign risk for anyone contemplating investment in the future economic security and job opportunities of our wonderful Mornington Peninsula. Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean
Nurses praised On 14 January I was discharged from hospital and referred to the Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS) for care for chronic leg pain. I have met several RDNS nurses as a result. [RDNS CEO] Stephen Muggleton's assurances do not reflect the views of those nurses
and Ocean - and have great memories of growing up there. Most went to boarding school, but my parents came back to Melbourne for me to go to school here. I have been back several times and am treated like royalty. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Maybe David should consider taking a trip to the island before making judgement on the it and the people living there. There are several Nauruan sites on Facebook that are kept updated with the situation on the Island. Lorraine Bradley (Hunt), Safety Beach

Video survey of footpaths THIS quad bike is being driven on footpaths throughout the Mornington Peninsula, with the full blessing of the council. All-terrain footpath survey vehicles (ATSV) are being used by consultants hired by the shire to video surface conditions of sealed footpaths. “The condition data will be used to develop an-
nual programs for renewing sections of the shire’s existing footpath network,” infrastructure strategy manager Davey Smith said. Robin Valtingojir, of Infrastructure Management Group, is at the controls of the quad bike which is fitted with high speed video cameras. Picture: Gary Sissons
who have shown me exemplary care (‘No loss of care’, Letters 3/3/15). Some of them have been working for over 20 years and are passionate about their professional care. I would like to think that Mr Muggleton would use every opportunity to market this valuable service and achieve excellent support for these dedicated employees rather than be defensive. In these troubled times for front line services, improved openness and transparency is more likely to gain significant support from the community than a feeble attempt at defence. The front line people deserve competent, cost effective administrative support for services marketed to the community. Manfred Claasz, McCrae
So we had better forget about any further discussion of there ever being an aquatic centre in Rosebud - it just isn’t going to happen. Bill Short, McCrae
Offices over pool So, $50 million for new Mornington Peninsula Shire Council offices (‘$56m for shire Taj Mahal’, The News 24/2/15)? I’d always been led to believe the council was already in debt and struggling financially. I also naively believed that any council’s main objective was the welfare of its community, but then remembered that the largest building - and invariably the ugliest - in any provincial town is always the council offices.
Island life In response to David Price who admits he knows nothing about Nauru or its people and has never experienced life there (‘Wrong response’, Letters 3/3/15). I have many Nauruan friends and am kept up to date with the happenings on the Island through Nauruan Facebook sites. Whenever there is a riot or protest, family and friends of the Nauruan police force have to assist the police in maintaining control as there are not enough to handle the number of refugees on the Island. Some have been trained in lifesaving, some are living on the Island in houses provided by the government. There have been instances of rape, abuse and attacks on fisherman to steal their boats to get off the Island. The refugees have done millions of dollars damage to their centre. The Nauruan people are kind and generous. My parents lived on the Island for 17 years before, during and after the war. My dad, along with other expats, defended the island against the Germans and Japanese. We as expats still love the islands - Christmas
I refer to Joe Lenzo’s letter (‘Follow the Rule’, Letters 10/3/15). One can only assume that a TV news item featuring Cadel Evans might have required him to safely ride in a driving lane while being interviewed. One must therefore consider that only part of Road Rule 147 applies”…unless it is impracticable to do so“. Therefore, the assumption that Cadel Evans was breaking the law seems to be a rather lame reason to justify the balance of the letter. The continuous lambasting of bicycle riders, whose rudeness is much in the minority when compared to rude and ignorant car drivers who believe their vehicles protect their obnoxious behaviour, was seen recently in Sydney Rd when a driver opened a car door without taking note whether it was safe to do so, thus causing the death of a cyclist. That cyclist was riding within the requirements of Road Rule 147 but because motor vehicles were parked on top of the bicycle lane he was forced into the vehicle lane. The bike lane situation on the Mornington Peninsula is very bad. There is not one contiguous bike path or bike lane in the whole length of the peninsula. Southbound riders passing Rosebud shopping centre have to ride in the vehicle lane. The alternative is to risk vehicles reversing out of the off street carpark. There is no bicycle lane around Anthonys Nose. There is no bicycle lane through Rosebud West shopping centre. These are only a few examples. One has to question whether obnoxious behaviour by cyclists is a result of obnoxious and impatient behaviour by motorists who do not understand that a cyclist must ride responsibly in the first place. A cyclist first and foremost must ride defensively, they have no protection from motor vehicles. If they do not ride defensively, they will be killed or badly injured. Motorists rarely get that point. It is not a matter of enforcement of an inadequate law, nor is it a matter for an attack of road rage as was implied in Mr Lenzo’s letter. What has to be done is to build better bike paths, design better bike lanes on roads that separate cyclists and other road users and better educate all road users on how to share the road safely. It is estimated there are four million cyclists in Australia. It is time for better planning for their needs, including safer riding, safer cars, safer roads and safer drivers. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Downward M.L A. will perform the opening ceremony at 7 o’clock on Friday evening. *** ATTENTION is drawn to an advertisement in our third page regarding a new preparation for cleaning the grease from motor cars and cycles, and also for a powder called “Pedol” for the prevention of perspiring feet. Both preparations are highly spoken of. Mr J. Reynolds, of Bay Street, Frankston, is the district agent for both. *** AS some people have the idea that the £10 voted by the Frankston Sports Club towards the fencing of the park, at their last meeting was part of the proceeds of the last New Year’s Day sports, we have been requested to state that the money for fencing was taken from the balance of former sports, and the whole of the proceeds of last New Year’s Day sports viz £23 3s 1½d, was handed
to Dr Plowman, the local treasurer to the Belgian Relief Fund. *** THE sum of £2 (being a raffle for a pumpkin) was the amount collected for the Belgian Fund at the Prince of Wales Hotel, on Saturday evening last. This will show an excellent example and ready response which the helpers displayed towards a deserving fund. We also hope this will not be the last, and trust that the next article put up for sale will fetch a higher amount. We have also to thank Mrs Hunt, of Mornington road, for donating the above pumpkin, which was a fair sample of 56lbs weight. *** LANDHOLDERS may be interested in knowing that during the past few weeks nearly 7,000 rabbits have been poisoned by the use of apples and strychnine, under the supervision of Mr Kelleher. These were actually counted, and it may be reasonable to assume that many died in the scrub and burrows, which were not seen. In one paddock of 698 acres, which had recently been treated twice with ‘Toxa’ and which had been heavily trapped, before the apples were applied by the crown men, 1651 dead rabbits were counted, close to the furrow. Any landholder, wishing to have further proof of any of the above results, may get the names and addresses of landholders who have seen for themselves, by applying to the inspector. He will also be glad to give full particulars as to the various meth-
ods of dealing with the rabbit pest. *** A FOURTH list of contributions to the Frankston Patriotic Fund is published as an advertisement in another column. The handsome sum of upwards of £170 has been contributed in cash, besides gifts from ladies and others of material and of time and labor, in making up material into suitable garments. As the Lord Mayor’s Australian Patriotic Fund is closed. the sum of £60 was sent on the 16th to the Belgian Relief Fund as a second instalment, and as a special appeal is now being made to the inhabitants of Frankston and district to contribute to a special Belgian Relief Fund. Donations can be sent to Dr Maxwell, President, or to Dr Plowman, Hon Treasurer. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual sale at Somerville, on Wednesday next. At the recent sale of Jonathan apples, in aid of the distressed Belgians, conducted by Mr W. S. Keast, a number of cases (from ten cases downwards) were donated by growers and non-growers of Mornington Junction, and forwarded through the Somerville and Hastings Fruitgrowers’ Association. *** A SOCIAL function of a very enjoyable character was held in the hall on Tuesday evening, 9th ,the occasion being a presentation to the Rev Mr Thompson. The Church of England Ladies’ Guild had taken the arrange-
ments in hand, and on their behalf Rev F. E. Watts presented Mr and Mrs Thompson with a handsome set of fruit knives and forks and fish knives and forks. In making the presentation, Mr Watts referred to Mr Thompson in eulogistic terms and was supported by Messrs Mair, Woodhouse, and Houfe, after which the usual musical honors were enthusiastically sung by the audience. Mr Thompson heartily thanked all those concerned for the kindness and appreciation they had shown. He was very pleased to learn that his efforts in connection with the church had been appreciated, and hoped that in the future he would be able to continue the same. Mr Thompson extended a hearty invitation to all his friends to call on him and his wife at their new home in Somerville, and expressed the wish to spend many more happy days at Tyabb. *** A GRAND mask ball was held in the Hastings Town Hall on Wednesday 17th in aid of the Roman Catholic Church. There was a good attendance. The Westernport orchestra was engaged which supplied eloquent music. Supper was handed round by the ladies and dancing continued until the early hours of the morning. *** IT is with regret that we have to announce the death of one of the oldest colonists of Victoria in the respect of Mrs Lambert, relict of the late Robert Lambert. Mrs Lambert came to Victoria 60 years ago and died in
the Stratford hospital on Monday last in her 81st year. She has owned many properties around the peninsula at different times, and for the last 16 years has lived with Mrs A. Bruce of Gippsland. *** A VERY pretty wedding, and one which created a good deal of interest, was celebrated in St Pauls church on Wednesday, February 24th. The contracting parties were Miss Dolly Rogers, daughter of Mr and Mrs Geo Rogers, and Mr Fred Hanton. Both parties have lived in Frankston, for a number of years, and have made innumerable friends. The day was perfect, and the church was crowded with guests and well–wishers of bride and bridegroom. During the evening the happy pair left for Melbourne, en route for Ballarat where the Honeymoon was spent. *** THE Australasian White Cross League, appeals for funds to enable booklets warning men against the dangers of sexual immorality, to be distributed freely among our Australian soldiers. These booklets not only point out in the plainest terms the dire effects of venereal diseases in wrecking the physical frame, and producing years or a life time of misery and suffering, but make an appeal also to the noble and chivalrous instincts, latent in nearly all young men, urging them to self control for the sake of womanhood. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 March, 1915

Amateur cheesemakers wheel out their best for the Red Hill Show ONE week from now, Bruce Charlton will be checking the ambient temperature in his small cheese fridge. Hoping that his washed rind cheese has matured at just the right rate. And crossing his fingers that the finished product turns out just like the practice batch he made last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be entering a feta, a small handmade goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheese and a washed rind which is made from cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk,â&#x20AC;? explains the amateur cheesemaker, who is a chef by trade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a washed rind yesterday, which was a practice for the competition. And of course it was perfect. Next week, it might not be the same. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I torture myself with it!â&#x20AC;? Cheesemaking is a tricky, exacting game; one which brings together science, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;feel for the curdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and even a little magic. Jan and Trevor Brandon have all three skills in spades; as evidenced by their highly successful business, Red Hill Cheese. Trevor had long been making cheese for friends and family when the couple decided to open their business in 2000. 15 years later, the business is one of the Peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tastiest culinary success stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The business possibly grew too fast!â&#x20AC;? laughs Jan Brandon when reflecting on the demandfor their celebrated sheep, goat and cows milk cheeses. The couple also run cheesemaking courses from their Red Hill cheesery, and many of the entrants in the Red Hill Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amateur Cheesemaking competition first learned their craft from the Brandons. The Brandonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; son, Burke, has taken over the role of Chief Cheesemaker, but come Red Hill Show Day on March 28th, it will be Dad Trevor who is again centre stage, as he co-judges the Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amateur
Cheesemaking competition. Just do not be misled by the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Amateurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason I enter is that the criteria is really highâ&#x20AC;?, says Bruce Charlton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give away ribbons, take it from me. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be judged by a plonker! For hobbyists, it sets a high benchmark: when you do well, you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done well.â&#x20AC;? The Red Hill Show takes place at the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday 28th March. The Peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most impressive agricultural animals and produce will be on show, alongside culinary offerings and competitions to thrill even the most ardent foodie.
THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The orchestra: life’s ultimate utensil By Stuart McCullough WE’VE all seen the adverts – jarring visuals and startling music combined with a voice-over that’s as close to hysteria as is possible without actually exploding. Easy to clean! Removes unwanted stains! (As though there’s any other kind.) Turns a sandwich into a banquet! The problem with these commercials is that when the product is ultimately unveiled, it’s impossible to be anything but underwhelmed. Usually, the device is little more than a plastic lump with a metal attachment, resembling the results of an appendectomy if performed on a washing machine. Plastic surgical offcuts are seldom much use. There’s only one thing that can truly do everything. When most people think of an orchestra, they either think of an uptight bunch of classical musicians existing in the rarefied world of classical music or, possibly, the words “Electric Light”. But an orchestra is so much more than just a 100-person cover band churning out the greatest hits of Beethoven and Mahler. Better than anything, orchestras set the mood. Forget candles or incense; if you really want to control the emotional temperature, music is the way to go. And when it comes to the heavy artillery, nothing packs as much punch as an orchestra. That’s why almost every film you’ve ever seen relies on an orchestra to pull emotional strings. Let me be the first to say I love the Oscars. They’re cheesy and, to borrow from David Niven, succeed in squeezing two hours of entertainment
into four hours. But more than set the mood, the Oscars let an orchestra display its versatility. Besides giving the occasion a sense of gravitas, the orchestra is an indispensible tool for getting people to shut up. Often, an actor, actress or, more horrifyingly, one of the guys from the special effects team will win an award and mistake it as an invitation
to thank everyone they’ve ever met by name or, worse still, attempt to tell their life story. As the entire viewing audience starts to turn rigid with fear, the orchestra cuts in and brings proceedings to a merciful end. There should be more of it. Who among us hasn’t wished for an orchestra to cut off someone mid-sentence? Last week I was at a conference. It
included a panel discussion moderated by a man who, perhaps thinking he had just won the award for best sound editing, took it as an opportunity to tell his life story and not allow the panel members to get a word in edgewise. Even when it was pointed out that he had used up all the allotted time and the next session was now delayed, he continued. It is difficult to convey how awful it was and I began to lament that lightning strikes are almost unheard of indoors as I wished for any calamity that would shut this turkey up. If only there had been an orchestra on hand. But more than just the ultimate silencer, there’s so much more a fully functioning orchestra can do. For years, local councils have used classical music to deter young people from hanging around train stations and shopping malls. To be fair, such locations are logical places for young people to lurk, particularly if they want to catch a train or buy something. But imagine how much more effective such programs would be if, instead of a compact disc, an entire symphony orchestra was squeezed in between platform two and the kiosk? Rather than drive young people away, it would give them a chance to properly appreciate the awesome mindblowing power of classical music. Local hoodlums could develop a passion for Rachmaninov. That said, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring is more likely to encourage anti-social behaviour than curb it, having nearly caused a riot when it premiered in 1913. For myself, although I’ve been in
lots of bands, I was only ever in one orchestra and, even then, for a very brief time. In high school, I studied percussion. Inspired either by Tito Puente or, possibly, Sheila E, I turned up for two lessons before my teacher decided it was time for me to join the school orchestra. Right from the outset, I could tell I was different from the other 70 members of the group. For starters, the others were able to play their instruments with a degree of proficiency. To make things worse, the other members of the orchestra had practised their parts; something I considered unnecessary. As the music started, everyone else paid a great deal of attention to their sheet music. In contrast, I decided to improvise. And while I hoped that my contribution would be lost in the cacophony, this was unlikely given that I was playing the drums. Indeed, as I flailed like a Muppet, it became obvious that I was playing as though I was in a different band, if not performing a different piece of music. The conductor was aghast and stopped the performance solely for the purpose of asking me what it was I was doing. As 140 eyes focused on me, it was clear that no answer I could provide would be good enough. In an ideal world, I would have picked up my sticks, made a short concession speech and left the room as the remaining members of the orchestra gave me a suitable musical send off. Sadly, it was not to be. I simply had to take it, with humiliation as my only accompaniment. stuart@stuartmccullough.com.au

best live acts and up-and-coming artists. Something for Kate’s Paul Dempsey will be performing his new solo material for a unique and unmissable treat. Starting out as street buskers, the Pierce Brothers will showcase their energetic and exceptional stage presence that has seen them recognised as one of the country’s most exciting young acts. The intoxicatingly romantic folk of Tinpan Orange and the lush sounds of electronic-folk musician Hayden Calnin complete the perfect soundtrack to this event.

Discover the hidden gems from the region’s leading producers, growers, orchardists and gourmet storeowners set to the serene soundtrack of some of Australia’s finest live music acts. As lyrics from London Still say: “If I ever come home, and I think I will. I hope your gonna wanna hang at my place on Sunday still”. Well, that Sunday has come, and it is Sunday 29 March and the place is Peninsula Picnic.. www.peninsulapicnic.com.au

FOR ROSE ABOUT TO ROCK By Simon Mills Dirty Deeds, the world’s longest running AC/ DC Tribute Show is getting ready to ROCK the Rosebud Hotel on Easter Saturday 4 April. Formed in 1990 and currently on their 25th Anniversary Tour, Dirty Deeds still features original lead singer Alfi Rocker and has undeniably earned their reputation as one of Australia’s best tribute bands and the closest thing to a real AC/DC concert. Originally formed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the late, great AC/DC singer Bon Scott in 1990, things went even better than expected for Dirty Deeds as one show after another was added to the schedule and before long they became one of the biggest drawcards of the Melbourne pub-rock scene, performing to large audiences everywhere. Headlining events in major towns and venues throughout Victoria, Alfi and the boys racked up large outdoor concerts such as Broadford, The Phillip Island Moto GP and the Shepparton Custom Bike & Hotrod Show to name just a few.
Interstate and overseas requests for the band are common and in October 2010 the first South Australian dates were booked and Dirty Deeds delivered ROCK. At an outdoor concert in Tasmania Dirty Deeds were honoured by Australian Rock legend, Angry Anderson joining Alfi Rocker on stage together belting out the Rose Tattoo classics Bad Boy For Love and Rock & Roll Outlaw. Entering a new era, Dirty Deeds opened a new chapter when expanding their set list to include Brian Johnson classics such as Hells Bells, You Shook Me All Night Long and of course the mighty Thunderstruck. Year after year, show after show, Dirty Deeds keep on delivering the high voltage rock ’n’ roll of Australia’s greatest, and the world’s most successful rock band - AC/DC.

Down to the wire PROVINCIAL
By IT Gully THE MPCA Provincial grand final will go into a third day after a dramatic opening two days. There were 17 wickets fall on the opening day, however, with 10 overs left on Sunday, the game was back in the balance. Sorrento won the toss and elected to bat. They lasted 30.3 overs. Thankfully, skipper Nick Jewell was able to offer a little resistance, making 26 of his side’s first innings total of 51. The equal second highest score was ‘Extras’, along with Corey Harris, who also made seven. There were three Sorrento players removed for ducks, including Anthony Blackwell and Leigh Poholke, while two players were sent packing for just one. However, despite top scoring for his side, the opposition supporters again showed enormous disrespect towards Jewell when he was eventually bowled by Chamika Sattambi. Jewell is a star of Victorian cricket, Frankston-Peninsula cricket and the MPCA. It’s disgraceful that supporters would treat him in that way. Baxter skipped Daniel Warwick and his teammates should be proud of themselves for trying to stop the supporters giving Jewell a ‘send-off’. Again, disrespect was shown when the supporters, wearing Baxter tops, told their leaders where to go. It ruined what was almost a perfect day for Baxter.
Dale Irving was just sensational for Baxter with 5/11 from 10 overs, while Sattambi was equally as impressive with 4/7 off 6.3 overs. Defending the pathetic total, Sorrento needed to produce something special with the ball. Enter Blackwell, who removed Shane McComb for five, Warwick for a duck and Joe Rule for a duck. AJ King removed Daniel Lanati and all of a sudden Baxter was in a world of pain at 4/20. However, Ben Smith and Dale Irving regained the ascendancy for the underdogs with 49 and 24 respectively. There was still to be another twist and turn. Cruising at 4/83, Sorrento removed Smith and Irving and all of a sudden Baxter had slumped again to 6/88. After 45 overs on the first day, Baxter finished at 6/104. Sorrento needed quick wickets on Sunday and they got what they needed, removing the last four batsmen for just two runs. Sorrento began its second innings trailing by 57. The Sorras lost their first two wickets for 15 runs and were looking down the barrel of another collapse, however, Jewell and Corey Harris took control. However, with little more than 10 overs left in the day, Harris was removed by Sattambi. The score was 3/124, a lead of 67. There are 75 overs to play this Saturday to determine the winner. There’s plenty of cricket left in this one.
Eagles fly DISTRICT By IT Gully SOMERVILLE will play in Provincial grade next season after beating Red Hill in the District Grand Final. The District grand final is the only First XI grand final that did not need to go into a third day. In a match that did have its twists and turns, Somerville did end-up cruising to victory after suffering some mid-innings trouble. Red Hill, the benchmark all season, won the toss and elected to bat. The Hillmen lost their first three wickets for 31 before Matt Merrifield and Simon Dart were joined together at the crease. The big breakthrough came for the Eagles when Matty Roach had Dart trapped leg before for 22. Andrew Mock and Luke Toy ensured there was some wag in the tail with 21 and 32 respectively, while Merrifield finished with 40. Aaron Kaddatz has been superb this season for the Eagles and he finished with three wickets, while Roach ended up with four. Somerville cruised at the start of the second day and were 0/83. However, the Hillmen hit back and snared the next five wickets for just 40 runs. Somerville had gone from 0/83 to 5/120 and Red Hill was back in the game. Enter Daniel Keulen and Brenton Alp, who enjoyed a 100-run partnership and in doing so, handed Somerville the premiership. The Eagles slipped to 7/203 and 8/209 in 70 overs, however, they had already won the match. With six overs left to play on Sunday, Red Hill was yet to concede.

Buds in command against Pearcedale SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully ROSEBUD was looking at a promotion to District ranks after having Pearcedale in real trouble late in the second day of their Grand Final. The Buds batted slowly for their 6/130 off 76 overs on the opening day after winning the toss. Rosebud was in some early trouble at 3/36, however, Pat Cashin, Kane Donald and Brad Glenn took control of the innings. A hamstring injury to semi-final star Shayne Gillings didn’t help Pearcedale’s cause. He bowled just 10.2 overs and had figures of 2/9 when he was injured. This allowed the Buds to gain control, which they did. Cashin (24) and Donald (26) were late wickets and Pearcedale got a real sniff when Jake Millar lost his wicket for a duck. The Buds finished the opening day at 6/106. Rosebud batted for a number of overs on day two (Sunday) and were eventually bowled out for 152. Chris Dew and Adrian Ridout were the wicket takers in Gillings’ absence. Late on the day on Sunday, Pearcedale was in a fair amount of trouble at 7/81. A lot of the hopes were on Max Blackburn, who was not out on 32.
