Protest over project plan NO smiling faces among this group of Balnarring residents who stand united against a contentious commercial redevelopment planned for Russell St, Balnarring. The group – with David Wright, Barb Rimington and Amanda Rodwell out front - say the plans breach the usual guidelines concerning over-development, landscaping, open space and setback requirements. Seven flowering gums are also at risk. The group is also worried that poorly designed parking areas will push cars into nearby streets and that the four-year construction period will disrupt traders, residents and school children for too long.

Lack of cash forces poor food choices Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FINANCIAL hardship is “a significant factor” affecting peninsula residents’ ability to access fresh, local and affordable food, according to the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb. Figures show the Mornington Peninsula is well above the state average when it comes to the number of people unable to buy quality food. Other factors may include intergenerational poverty, such as “not having

fresh vegies and fruit consistently as a younger person and, therefore, growing up not knowing how to cook or source them, or not having access to a car to access fresh food”, she said. Cr Colomb last week launched Connecting Local People to Local Produce, a booklet aimed at making access to, growing and cooking fresh, local food, easier. It was produced by the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Food security across the state was measured in the 2011 Victorian Population Health Survey. Respondents were asked if there had been any times

in the previous 12 months when they had run out of food and could not afford to buy more. Their answers – reproduced in the latest Community Indicators Report shows that 7.3 per cent of those living on the Mornington Peninsula had experienced food insecurity compared to the Victorian state average of 4.5 per cent. The Southern Metro Region figure is 7.6 per cent. “Everyone can be impacted upon by food security, from the very young to the very old and everyone in between,” Cr Colomb said. “Food security can

affect people in different ways depending on resources, knowledge, and income.” She said organisations on the peninsula, such as SecondBite – which distributes more than three tonnes of ‘rescued’ fresh food in Rosebud alone - were “just fantastic”. “Other fresh food programs and emergency relief programs providing community meals are working to improve food security,” she said. “Community gardens are also teaching people how to ‘grow your own’.” Shire health and wellbeing commit-

tee chair Cr Antonella Celi said “people may not realise, in an abundant country like ours, that [almost] 5 per cent of the population experiences food insecurity”. “People who cannot access local, fresh, affordable and nutritious food experience detrimental health and lifestyle factors that threaten their ability to live well and prosper in our community. That is not okay,” she said. Copies of the booklet at shire offices at Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington or mornpen.vic.gov.au/local_produce

Shire staff rally over layoffs Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au HUNDREDS of Mornington Peninsula Shire staff attended three union meetings last week to hear about their rights as the battle between the shire and two unions over layoffs continued. Australian Services Union officials held meetings at the shire’s three offices at Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings. Meetings were also held between shire CEO Carl Cowie and some of the 12 workers who were told on 13 March they would be laid off. Staff members were accompanied by union officials. Five others have been laid off for a total of 17. On 18 March the Fair Work Commission told the shire to negotiate with terminated employees and not layoff any more people. It also ordered the shire to prepare a document showing how it would proceed during a restructure following Mr Cowie’s three-month review of shire operations. ASU official Michelle Jackson said there was double the usual number of people at each of the three meetings. “I’ve been running meetings for shire staff for more than a decade and the turnouts were big, even larger than when we discuss wage rises,” she said. Ms Thomas said “no conclusions were reached and discussions are ongoing”. She said the restructuring protocol document had to be provided by the shire by Wednesday this week.

“It appears that Mr Cowie wants to contract out jobs,” she said. ASU is representing three laid off members of staff during negotiations with the shire. “They are high performing senior people and being laid off is no reflection on their competence.” Ms Thomas said some of the people laid off on Friday 13 March had left the shire but others were staying to fight. The Australian Services Union and Professionals Australia (APESMA) went to the commission to force the shire to comply with its enterprise agreement after it was revealed the shire was not offering redundancies to some staff. The ASU accused the shire of “blatant disregard of the EBA [enterprise bargaining agreement]”. Ms Thomas said if the matter could not be resolved, the union would take the shire back to the Fair Work Commission or to the Federal Court. The shire has refused to answer questions from The News. Mr Cowie stated in an email to staff that “the reason for change is simple. The shire has to put as much of its resources as possible into servicing the needs of the community, in the main, the ratepayers of the shire. The departure of certain staff is a reflection of rightsizing, not a reflection of competence”.  Shire communications manager Todd Trimble says no staff who had been laid off were escorted from council offices by security guards, as reported in The News last week. Mr Trimble did not challenge the report that some staff were given less than 30 minutes to pack up and leave.

Be prepared: William with sisters Carolyn and Louise at Sunday’s Queen’s Scout badge presentation.

Scouts celebrate William’s award 1ST Red Hill Scout Group celebrated William Smith’s Queen’s Scout presentation on Sunday – the highest award in the Scouting Movement. It was a real family affair for the 70 guests as his two sisters, Carolyn and Louise, are Queen’s Guides and his dad, Brian, is a Scout leader. Mum Jenny is an enthusiastic supporter. Venturer leader Rob Rotherham said young people with the capacity to become Queen’s Scouts “only come along every couple of years”. “He will carry this for life,” he said. “It’s a tremendous achievement.” William will be presented with his Royal Certificate by the Victorian Governor, Alex Chernov, at Govern-

ment House in October, along with other recipients. The Queen’s Scout course is designed to be comprehensive: William, 18, was assessed for adventure activities, leadership development, community involvement and personal growth. “Getting through this is tough in the modern era,” said Mr Rotherham, who became a Queen’s Scout himself in 1969. “William is the exception rather than the rule.” 1st Red Hill Scouts group leader Simone Gilligan said William had progressed through the Cubs and Scouts at Mt Martha and Mornington and attended the 22nd Australian Jam-

boree in 2010. In 2013 he transferred as a Venturer to 1st Red Hill Scout Group. Last year he received the Mawson Scholarship in Leadership after he and 28 other Venturers attended a conference in Queensland. He has enjoyed nine years’ singing, dancing and acting in the South Metro Show Time and 10 years helping the Mt Martha Fire Brigade. “It’s a huge achievement,” she said. William will now become a Rover Scout – no doubt taking his accomplishments to another level. The 70-member Red Hill group has Cubs aged eight-10; Scouts 10-14 and Venturers 14-18.

‘Heroes’ save boy trapped under gate Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MOTHER has praised the quick thinking of two men she believes saved her son’s life last week. Zach George, 8, was lucky to escape when the heavy steel gate he was closing outside The Salvo’s warehouse in Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings, fell on top of him. Staff at a Holden dealership opposite – Ryan Kissick and Simon Pamic – heard Zach’s cries and ran to his aid at about 5pm Wednesday. The boy was face down under the heavy gate unable to move until the men – and others from the store – managed to lift it off him. Samantha George wrote on Facebook: “I would just like to thank two of the workers at Westernport Holden for saving my son’s life tonight, and for their quick actions. I could never thank you both enough. “Zach was closing the Salvos gate when it fell on top of him, crushing and trapping him under it .... Thanks guys you are truly heroes on my eyes.” Ms George yesterday said the acci-

dent was no fault of The Salvo’s, but that “it was unfortunate that Zach was doing what he was doing”. “If it hadn’t been for the men from over the road my son may not be here now.” Son of the dealer-principal Des Kissick, Ryan said he was getting ready to close for the day when he heard Zach’s cries and he and detailer Mr Pamic ran over to help. “At first I thought it was just kids being silly and yelling out, but when I saw him I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The boy was face down under a massive section of gate which must have come out of its groove and fallen down flat on top of him. “It was very heavy. I grabbed it and put everything into lifting it and it moved about a foot. Then the others came out and we managed to lift it high enough for him to crawl out. He was a big, tough boy but he was really bruised and battered. “Once we got him clear we saw he was OK and he started to move slowly and sit up. It was nice to see that he was all right.” It took six people to finally lift the gate back into its running rail.

On show: Delivering work to the Abstractions opening are Alison Hill, Michael Leeworthy, Amanda Hebeden and Maureen Whittaker.

Colourful additions to bakery ARTIST and curator Michael Leeworthy was driven to abstraction last week as artists arrived bearing canvases for the new show at The Bakers Art Gallery, Balnarring. ‘Abstractions’ opened on Saturday and runs until 30 April. It includes oils, acrylics and photography by Mornington Peninsula artists.

“Abstract art by definition means representing nothing,” Leeworthy said. “But, in this show, we’re stretching the definition.” Among the painters represented are Jennifer Croom, Maureen Whittaker, Miodrag Jankovic, Amanda Hebden, Alison Hill and Fran Henke, with photographs from her series of abstract

patterns in the sea. Leeworthy also operates his own gallery studio at Red Hill, where he has taught painting and drawing since 2002. The Bakers Gallery is open daily in the Red Hill Bakery, Balnarring Village shopping centre, 3050 FrankstonFlinders Rd.

Shire asked to look again at $7m plan Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au OPPONENTS of a $7 million commercial redevelopment in Balnarring say it is an overdevelopment of the site, breaches landscaping, open space and streetscape requirements and will exacerbate parking in Russell St. They say the lengthy development period - over four years as a staged project - ignores potential disruption to local traders, pedestrians, school children and elderly residents who use the footpath on the western side daily. Opponent David Wright said the staged development should not be approved over such a long time frame. He says the group’s main concerns are:  Reduction in the minimum setback from Russell St and the adjoining residential zone from 20 metres to 2.5 metres;  Reduction in open space and landscaping requirements on the site and removal of all vegetation – including seven established flowering gums - when there should be 15 per cent open space.  Reduction in the car parking requirements to allow space for 50 cars.  The four-year building time will disrupt the major pedestrian link

from Balnarring to Frankston-Flinders roads. Mr Wright, a real estate agent in Balnarring Village, said he had “major concerns” regarding the application and the recommendation by the council’s acting team leader, statutory planning – who has now reportedly left the shire - to approve it. “We are not against redevelopment of the site,” Mr Wright said on Monday. “It is under-utilised and presents a unique opportunity to do something special. Having a new medical centre and retail opportunities makes perfect sense, but the council is disregarding the activity centre overlay and its requirements on landscaping. “Their consideration should be to get a suitable outcome, but cutting down trees and reducing open space doesn’t make sense.” Mr Wright said the gums and other native trees on the site attracted significant native birdlife to the area and added to the village’s character and charm. He said recommended design standards outlining the landscaped three-metre minimum standard and setbacks five metres from a residential zone had been disregarded. The developer wants approval for minimum landscaping of 12.7 per cent of the site - and not the 15 per cent as recommended.

“There appears to be no area of three metres in width for the calculations of open space which is a recommended design standard,” Mr Wright said. “In fact, there is no public open space provided on the site, which is of major concern and which is not in the character of the Balnarring Village and neighbouring area.” Mr Wright took issue with the planner’s comments: ‘In this case, the revised design is a substantial improvement on what previously was proposed with the proposed buildings likely to have a very positive impact on the streetscape of Russell St’. “I consider in light of the neighbouring area and character of the village that the council’s view is totally unacceptable,” he said. “I believe the calculation of open space should be reassessed using at least the minimum three-metre standard or better.” The development is an exciting project, Mr Wright said, although blocking off a pathway to the bus station for four years would force students attending Balnarring Primary, Dromana Secondary and Padua College to walk an extra 200 metres. “The community is certainly not against it,” he said. “The existing medical centre is past its use-by date, and we have an ageing population. We just need the right mix.”

Beach activity: Sea kayacking is one of the activities planned Sunday 12 April at the YMCA’s Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza.

Outdoors for adventure JUST 20 per cent of 5-17 year olds are getting the recommended one hour of physical activity a day, according to YMCA Victoria. In a bid to make children more active the YMCA’s Camp Manyung is running Adventure Unplugged on Sunday 12 April at Sunnyside Beach, Mt Eliza, for children aged 8-13 and their families. “The day will connect children with nature in a fun, engaging and active way through the huge range of activities, including sea kayaking, snorkelling, fishing, boat tours, Rock Pool Rambling and a variety of beach games,” Camp Manyung manager Maree Feutrill said. “Adventure Unplugged is a great way to participate in both the Victorian government’s Premier’s Active April and Nature Play Week.” Ms Feutrill said Active April en-

courages Victorians to do 30 minutes of physical activity a day. Adventure Unplugged was a chance “for kids to discover that closing the computer and being active in the great outdoors with friends and family can be great fun, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the natural wonders of our beautiful coastal environment”. Adventure Unplugged costs $10 a person (extra for extra water-based activities) and barbecue food and drinks can be bought on the day. Proceeds from the event go to YMCA Open Doors, which is aimed at ensuring no child misses the opportunity to attend camp due to disadvantage. Activities will be supervised by YMCA instructors.

Signs of closure at the ashram Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au RUMOURS of the imminent closure or liquidation of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga heightened last week in the face of an ongoing police investigation, threat of a class action and suspension of its accredited yoga teacher training course. Signs have been removed from the school’s ashram in Tower Rd, Mt Eliza, and former residents have reportedly been told they have until Tuesday to remove any belongings. Police from the Seaford-based SOCIT (Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Teams) on Thursday confirmed they are investigating allegations of sexual assault. St Kilda lawyer Angela Sdrinis is launching a class action following last December’s announcement by the school that its founder, Russell Kruckman, also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji, “has had secret sexual relations with a number of women from the ashram community”. At the same time Mr Kruckman, in a statement signed Swamiji, expressed regret and remorse for his actions and said he “profoundly underestimated the impact” of tantric sexual activities. “I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour,” Mr Kruckman said. The school’s management committee last week said “in light of the criminal investigation that is being conducted” it has asked Swami Shankarananda to “retire from Shiva Yoga”.

Signed up: The latest addition to the overpass spanning Nepean Highway, near Wooralla Drive, Mt Eliza, reflects problems besetting the ashram in nearby Tower Rd.

Former followers of the swami have told The News they believe Shiva Yoga Inc will go into voluntary liquidation. However, a meeting of the Shiva 16 person committee called for tonight (Tuesday) that would have probably led to liquidation has been postponed because members were not given 21 days’ notice. Instead, the committee is expected to discuss the process of liquidation; changing the organisation’s constitution to dustance itself from the teacheings of Swami Shankarananda; and increasing its membership to 24. Financial statements for the year ended June 2014 of the tax-exempt Shiva Yoga Inc show it owns three properties near the ashram collectively valued at just under $3 million in Clarendon Close and Petrel Ave; has spent $1.38m improving the ashram building in Tower Rd; as well as generating $181,300 “total comprehensive income attributable to members”. The former followers say they believe the more valuable property housing the ashram in Tower Rd is owned by Swami Shankarananda. Revenue is listed on Shiva Yoga Inc’s financial statements as being

$1.07m, with Swami Shankarananda shown as having loaned the organisation $373,508. The statements shows “retained earnings” of $2.9m. The statements also show $1.38m being spent on “structural improvements” to the Tower Rd property. Spokesman for the Shiva School, Stephen Stanford, twice last week declined to reply to questions from The News saying lawyer David Galbally was handling media inquiries. Mr Galbally said he was providing corporate legal advice to Shiva Yoga Inc but could not provide details about properties owned by the organisation. He said on Thursday that the organisation was not in liquidation, a move that could only be determined by its members. Mr Galbally said he did not know how many members Shiva Yoga Inc had. Yoga Australia last week said it had withdrawn Shiva Yoga’s accreditation for its yoga teacher training course but “will continue to offer support to the students of the course and will register those who have completed the course as yoga teachers”. “We want to reaffirm that the actions and admissions of Swami

Shankarananda go against all policies and procedures put in place by our association and the ethical code of practice yoga teachers abide by,” Yoga Australia stated. “This incident further instils the need for us to put into place a regulatory framework for our profession, similar to that of other allied health professions. “We remind you that Swami Shankarananda is not a member or registered teacher of Yoga Australia, however Shiva Yoga offer a teacher training course that has now been suspended by Yoga Australia pending the police investigations.” The revelations in December and offers of free counselling for anyone affected by the school’s leader did little to quell the anger of hundreds of his followers who stopped their regular attendances at the school’s compound in Tower Rd. One disaffected former attendee of Shiva School described the counselling as “data collection, so they know what everyone was saying: I haven’t seen any of the promised transparency”. Another former member of the ashram of more than a decade said things were “happening so quickly that the community [of former members] has too little time to respond”. There was anger over the potential disposal of assets gained through donations or work provide for free. St Kilda-based lawyer Angela Sdrinis said she had notified both Shiva Yoga Inc and Swami Shankarananda in writing that investigations were un-

derway into launching a possible class action over alleged sexual abuse and physical injuries. A website for Ms Sdrinis describes her as a “personal injuries accredited specialist and expert in Comcare and sexual and institutional abuse”. Ms Sdrinis she was investigating allegations by “about half a dozen” women and was receiving “two or three” inquiries a day from other potential claimants. Claims about misused donations and unpaid work were being referred to other lawyers. Ms Sdrinis said she had written to Shiva Yoga Inc and Swami Shankarananda asking that they not dispose of any assets. “I understand the liquidator [who may be appointed] is very reputable and, I imagine, would be very reluctant to take such steps without telling us,” she said. A former ashram member said some of the women leaving the ashram’s accommodation were being helped by friends “because they have nowhere to go”. Most were also now referring to Swami Shankarananda as Russell, rather than give him the dignity and elevation of the title Swamiji. “They call him Russell because it brings him down to earth,” the woman said. “Swamiji gives him a status they don’t believe he deserves. “There has been a huge loss of trust. I feel like a trauma victim. I trusted him, but how gullible am I? “It feels like there’s been a death in my family.”

NEWS DESK Easter art show SOME of the peninsula’s best artists will exhibit in the gallery space of the Southern Peninsula Arts Centre from April 1-6. The Mornington Peninsula Art Show, now in its sixth year, is becoming a key event on the local exhibition calendar with profits going to Rosebud Secondary College’s chaplaincy program. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said the shire’s $2000 Art Acquisition Award was given for the best peninsula-themed work. Last year the shire acquired Rosebud artist John Whitelaw’s oil painting Mount Martha Foreshore, which the mayor chose to hang in her office. Future opportunities for the community to access and view the collection are being developed as part of the shire’s arts and culture strategy. This year’s exhibition opens 7pm, Wednesday 1 Apri and then daily until 6 April. The Southern Peninsula Arts Centre is at Rosebud Secondary College, corner of Eastbourne and Boneo roads. Details: mpartshow.com

Centre’s works end AN outdoor patio deck has been added to Sorrento Activity Centre with $24,000 from Mornington Peninsula Shire. As well as the deck, the centre in Melbourne Rd has new wiring and electrics and new stage backdrops. “The upgrades have enhanced the building and expanded the potential use of the centre,” Nepean Ward’s Cr Hugh Fraser said. The works aim to “re-establish and recognise the value and significance of the activity centre with an aim to improve and develop it as a more accessible and enjoyable space for a broader range of community events and activities.” Sorrento/Portsea Senior Citizens’ committee member Denise Potter said the new facilities had already been used for a number of activities.

CEO quiet over shire’s new look By David Harrison Monday 23 March. Venue: Mt Martha Life Saving Club. Briefings at 5pm, meal at 6, council meeting at 7. Salmon and salad for a pleasant change and a naughty second helping of dessert. A very good crowd, overflowing available seating when the meeting started. Extra parking at nearby shops for latecomers. CHANGE can creep up on you, or crash through like Brendon McCullum taking hold of the bowling in the run to a ton. Was it change at the council meeting when the redoubtable Fred Crump of Mornington got away with an 84-word question on illegal rubbish dumping? No matter. The next question came in at 42 words, eight under the limit of 50, followed by the last at 61 words. Only three questions, a contrast to the 21 put at the previous meeting. Mr Crump, you must learn to précis! For significant, remorseless, serious change, listen to new CEO Carl Cowie, a little later in the agenda, delivering some remarks in support of his monthly report to the community. In view of his recent, and continuing, impact on the life of the shire and its ratepayers, Council Watch provides you with his words, almost verbatim. He opened by lauding the “open community budget process where many members of the public put forward their ideas for inclusion into next financial year’s budget”. He and his officers are working hard “to try to shoehorn as many of those initiatives into the budget” as they can. He was very impressed with the quality of the submissions. “I understand that’s because you’ve had plenty of time to get these right; they perhaps haven’t always got in,” he

said, drawing a smile from a veteran budget submitter or two in the public gallery. Mr Cowie had “also been engaging with a number of community groups as I get around different parts of the peninsula. I’ve really enjoyed that in terms of getting a stronger sense of what you’re looking for in the communities, which will help, I believe, me and the team streamline services to the community”. End of overture and into the first movement, sostenuto assai: “So on that in particular, there were a couple of significant presentations in the month of February, which council had asked me to do for them, the first of which you probably have seen reported somewhat in the press – the review of where the shire offices currently are and whether there is a better option down the track for Mornington Peninsula Shire to be located, either in one position or not.” The press, in the form of CW, adopted the Alert posture. This surely referred to a report some weeks ago in this newspaper, essentially on whether the shire would build a new headquarters at Wannaeue Place, Rosebud, or stick to the existing preamalgamation three-office arrangement. Mr Cowie continued, adagio espressivo. “So that work was done in January and for the foreseeable future the proposal was that we would leave things as they are.” The final movement was pure allegro molto vivace, rising to a minor key crescendo: “I also, as you know, began on the first of December last year [and began working

on] an organisational review, which I undertook on behalf of council. That was presented to council in late February as a first presentation, if you like, of my review of where I felt the shire organisation was at. “And so that was received by council and further things have happened, as you know, and which you’ve also read about, and they’re ongoing at the moment.” The “further things that have happened” refers to the slimming-down of the shire staff list. Anyone who thought this would not occur has been getting up too late of a morning. CW understands some former staff were discovered not really to have a job, which was not the fault of Mr Cowie, any more than a gallstone is the fault of the doctor or the patient. This is a procedure smacking more of Wagner thunder than Mozart minuet. There is nothing pleasant about telling people they no longer have a job. That old saying “Needs must when the devil drives” comes to mind. Mr Cowie is doing the hard job he was hired to do. His words as reported above are his most expansive explanation so far of his progress. The fact that there’s more to come is contained in his words “further things have happened … and they’re ongoing at the moment”. Councillors have circled the wagons protectively around Mr Cowie. Stony silence reigns. All he can say, in the time-honoured journalistic tradition, is: “More news as it comes to hand.” That’s the job of the media. But Mr Cowie is well aware he is responsible to, and paid by, the community. Private enterprise this ain’t. Giving us a glimpse of what he sees at the end of the tunnel would be a comfort.

FUN ACTIVITIES OVER EASTER WEEKEND

Cup runneth over Saturday TURNSTILE numbers were up for the first Saturday Mornington Cup. Organisers say more than 10,000 racegoers were at the track to see seven year-old Tasmanian Banca Mo cross the line first. Total prize money for the cup was $350,000 with the winner guaranteed start in October’s Caulfield Cup. “This horse is incredibly tough. Every time we think he’s had enough he comes back for more,” Banca Mo’s owner Mandy Gunn said. “We rode him around the farm and just got him back to being a horse before sending him into training down on the beach which really suits him.

“He’s a huge part of our family, I bought him as a yearling for $2100 and he’s made our dreams come true, funding trips from Royal Ascot to Kentucky, he’s made so many things possible.” For the first time in the cup’s 95-year history was held on Saturday and not Wednesday. The fashions on the field competition hosted by the Face of Mornington Caitrin O’Rouke saw Felicity Northeast win the new professional millinery category; Charlotte Rybers the trendy teens; and Whitney Calladine the most stylish lady. Hal Salter won the men’s fashions on the field prize.

Gandelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand art plan approved David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A VCAT appeal by Melbourne billionaire John Gandel against shire councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rejection of a restaurant and sculpture park development in Merricks has been headed off following approval of a revised application that resolves major planning problems in the earlier proposal. Councillors voted on Monday 23 March in favour of the revised plan, which consolidates blocks of land to satisfy green wedge requirement that a restaurant cannot be built on land less than 40 hectares and must be â&#x20AC;&#x153;in conjunction withâ&#x20AC;? agriculture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in this case, a vineyard, now included on the restaurant land. The Victorian and Civil Administrative Tribunal case, which was set down for five days from 13 April, would have been costly for the Gandels and the shire. The original proposal was to put the

huge development on just 6.6 hectares (16.3 acres), with vines growing on another of the four titles in the Gandel cluster. It argued that a heritage overlay containing two old farm buildings permitted the development on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;undersizeâ&#x20AC;? land parcel. But it also sought partial relocation of the buildings to an area outside the overlay. The new proposal allows the relocation, with the heritage overlay moving with the buildings and stringent conditions imposed on their renovation and maintenance. A heritage management plan is a condition of the permit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to bring about a quality restoration of the heritage buildings and for the future use and any maintenance works to the buildingsâ&#x20AC;?. This is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure their ongoing maintenance and retention in perpetuity, and to ensure the buildings play an appropriate role in the recreational use of the land as a sculpture parkâ&#x20AC;?, the

condition states. Mr Gandel, who turns 90 this year, is said to be worth $3.6 billion. He is known for philanthropy focused on medicine and art. He donated $7.5 million to the National Gallery of Australia in 2010. His sculpture park is intended to provide public access to works the family has collected over many years. The approved plan will comprise the 150-seat restaurant and sculpture park, cellar door, wine store and art gallery. The four blocks have been reduced to three; one of 47ha, one of 9.7ha and the third, which includes a house, of 8.6ha (116, 24 and 21 acres respectively). Council officers were strongly supportive of the original proposal, describing it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;uniqueâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of those rare occasions where a prohibited land use can be approvedâ&#x20AC;?. The heritage overlay provision, that allows otherwise prohibited uses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;may be viewed as a key to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;opening a

Seaside luxury: The Gandel family house at Merricks that has taken two years and a reported $50 million to build. Now the shire council has approved an adjacent 150-seat restaurant and sculpture park, cellar door, wine store and art gallery on the property, which spans the border of Point Leo and Merricks.

doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ... where there is an expectation that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;once through the doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; what will be seen will be truly worthy of having provided the key to open that doorâ&#x20AC;?, the report said. The original application spoke warmly of the heritage features. It said the aim was â&#x20AC;&#x153;to expand the heritage and cultural profile of the siteâ&#x20AC;?. The aim is still to move and preserve what is now described as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;not particularly noteworthyâ&#x20AC;? farmhouse and an earth wall outbuilding. The application originally came to council last November. It lapsed for want of a seconder to Cr Antonella Celiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion to approve the application. Four Celi allies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Gibb, Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and David Garnock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were not at the meeting. Officers then prepared nine grounds for rejection for councillors to approve. Boundary alignment has been a problem for years at the Gandel family compound. In 2010 councillors

approved a separate application for a now nearly completed luxury house on the land, but stipulated that two of the blocks be consolidated because the house straddled a boundary. Some reports claim the house has cost up to $50 million. Three years later Mr Gandel, whose interests include half of Chadstone shopping centre, returned to council seeking to retain the properties on individual titles and leave the new house largely where it was. Councillors were told that consolidating the blocks would cost Mr Gandel about $811,000 in capital gains tax and stamp duty. A senior planner described this as â&#x20AC;&#x153;overly onerous and therefore unreasonableâ&#x20AC;?. Councillors led by Andrew Dixon and the then Red Hill Ward incumbent Frank Martin agreed. The condition was deleted. The house is on the same land parcel as the restaurant and sculpture park.

Skyliftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second journey to VCAT THE Arthurs Seat Skylift consortium is going back to state planning tribunal VCAT on 21 and 22 May seeking approval for changes to the number, location and height of pylons supporting the gondola cables. The original Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal permit conditions directed that major alterations to the plan approved late last year must return to it for approval. Skylift says is has done further geotechnical work that enables it to reduce from 13 to 11 the number of pylons up the slope of Arthurs Seat. It also seeks to move four pylons by more than five metres and five others by less. Two of the pylons will be taller, to maintain gondola height between the more widely spaced pylons. Skylift says one pylon will remain below the treeline but will be visible from some locations. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors voted on 10 March to deal directly with the 71 conditions VCAT imposed on the $18 million project, instead of delegating them to shire planning staff. Councillors had until 20 March to sign-off on the project but The News

COURAGE, wisdom, compassion, witches, wizards and cowardly lions – it has to be The Wizard of OZ! Panorama Theatre Company is bringing this beloved tale to the stage to remind audiences that there really is ‘No Place Like Home’. The show at Frankston Arts Centre will run Fridays to Sundays 10-12 April and 17–19 April. It promises to be a whirlwind of wickedness and wonder, magic and munchkins, as young performers take to the stage to tell a wildly familiar tale to family audiences. The young cast aged eight and up - with a few mature performers thrown in for guidance and support - incudes more than 60 performers. All come from local schools. The production offers laughter, music, mayhem, magic, monkeys, the Emerald City - and a chance for everyone to follow the yellow brick road with Dorothy on her adventures. “As a little girl, this was my favourite story,”

Charges would remain the same for the first two years of the Scheme with an increase of Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the remaining years to take into consideration the increased cost of future activities. Council considers that each rateable property and each business included in the proposed Scheme area that is required to pay the Special Charge will receive a special benefit because the viability of the Mornington Main Street Activity Centre as a retail and commercial area will be enhanced through increased economic activity. The value of the properties included in the scheme boundary, their desirability as letting propositions, (where applicable) and their general image and stature, both separately and severally in the context of the area generally, will be maintained or enhanced. Council proposes to levy the Special Charge by sending notice to those liable to pay it. The Special Charge will be payable by four equal instalments or by one instalment payable each year in accordance with rate notices. In instances of non-payment of the Charge, interest may accrue in accordance with Section 172 of the Local Government Act and standard Council practice on non-payment of rates and charges. Copies of the proposed declaration (which includes a map of the Scheme boundaries, a list of properties included in the Scheme and amounts payable by each property) are available for inspection during normal office hours at any of the Council offices for a period of at least 28 days after the publication of this notice, namely Monday 4 May 2015. Any person who will be affected by the Special Charge is entitled to make a written submission and/or objection (under Sections 163A & 223 of the Act) in relation to Council’s proposal; any person required to pay the Special Charge has the right of objection (under Section 163B). Evidence of requirement to pay the Special Charge should be included with their objection.

In accordance with a resolution made by the Mornington Peninsula Shire (“Council”) at its ordinary meeting held on Monday 23 March 2015, notice is hereby given that, at the ordinary meeting of Council to be held on Monday 10 August 2015, it is the intention of the Mornington Peninsula Shire to declare a Special Charge under Section 163 of the Local Government Act 1989 (“the Act”). The Special Charge is for the purposes of defraying advertising, promotion, centre management, business development and other incidental expenses associated with the encouragement of commerce in the Mornington Main Street Activity Centre. The funds are collected on behalf of the incorporated body known and operating as the Mornington Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In proposing the declaration of the Special Charge, Council is performing functions and exercising powers related to the stimulation and facilitation of business development and local employment opportunities. The maximum annual cost of the performance of the functions is $135,000 ($120,000 for marketing and managing the Activity Centre plus Council’s administrative costs of $15,000). The maximum total amount of the Special Charge to be levied is $600,000 over a period of five years. This equates to a maximum of $120,000 in any one year. The proposed Special Charge will remain in force for a period of five years from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2020. It is the intention of Council to declare the Special Charge to apply to all rateable premises (except vacant land) used for retail and commercial purposes within the Mornington Main Street Activity Centre. The land covered by the Special Charge includes:

Coast councils call to retain Census Ready for the world: Caitlin Crichton is hoping her Mrs Mornington title can earn her a place at the Galaxy International Pageant in the United States.

Titles the challenge Caitlin needs MRS Mornington Galaxy Caitlin Crichton flew to the Gold Coast last week to rehearse for her role in the upcoming National Miss Galaxy titles. Preliminary heats were being held for the finals of Miss Teen Galaxy Australia, Miss Galaxy Australia and Mrs Galaxy Australia on Saturday night. Contestants took part in photo shoots, interviews, dancing practice for musical numbers and run throughs of the demanding program which could lead them to a place in the Galaxy International Pageant in Florida, United States, in August. There, delegates from around the world will represent their countries for a week of pageantry fun - and an opportunity to garner financial and personal rewards.

It’s an exciting time for the mother of two who entered the quest “to do something different and challenge myself”. “So far it’s been really good; a real confidence booster,” she said. Mrs Galaxy Australia is open to all married women 20-plus who are Australian residents. The contest has no size, height or weight restrictions, but aims to “celebrate the beauty of every young woman”. Ms Crichton, 23, describes herself as a businesswoman and stay-athome-mum. She and husband Dane have two children, Ryder and Nevaeh and live at Tootgarook. She has raised $601 for the Make a Wish Foundation. Stephen Taylor

DELEGATES at the Australian Coastal Councils Conference at Cape Schanck have called on the federal government to retain the national Census due to be carried out in August next year. The conference attendees issued a communiqué on 16 March stating national data was needed “to ensure Australia’s councils have access to detailed demographic data ... essential for the future planning and resourcing of their communities”. The statement came soon after the government said it was considering scrapping the Census and replacing it with a smaller sample survey. Delegates, including several from Mornington Peninsula Shire, which hosted the conference, said they were

The 2011 Census cost $440 million and the 2016 one is expected to cost even more due to technology upgrades needed to process a significant increase in the number of online lodgements. Professor Peter McDonald, a demographer at the Australian National University, said the Census collects data that is beyond the capability of sample surveys. “It can track what is happening to comparatively small groups of people, which can’t be picked up by smaller surveys,” he said. “The biggest loss would be information on regional populations.” Mike Hast

“particularly concerned that the loss of small area data, which is currently collected in the Census, will significantly affect the capacity of regional councils to track the increase in demand for community services and facilities that is experienced in most coastal communities”. “This data is critical to ensuring that councils have access to an appropriate share of Financial Assistance Grants, which are adjusted on the basis of Census data, to take into account continuing population growth in Australia’s coastal local government areas.” The national Census was introduced in 1911 and surveys all households in Australia at five yearly intervals, providing comprehensive information about where Australians live, their

LETTERS Council support I applaud the commitment of the mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council [Cr Bev Colomb] to the prevention of family violence. Brian Mitchelson’s comment (‘Job savings’, Letters, 24/3/15) that this commitment is “superfluous” and his hope it is only “a dogooders feel good statement” is facile and demeaning and disrespectful to women and their children who experience family violence and to those who provide support and counselling to them. Councils have the expertise, competence and the moral authority to do all they can to prevent this insidious social problem. The only caveat is that they should not work in isolation. Family violence is such a complex problem it requires the commitment of all three levels of government, community sector agencies, police, business, philanthropic trusts and community people joining forces and resources and, especially, listening to the voices of those experiencing the violence. In this way a common agenda can be agreed to how best to tackle the problem, rather than everyone working in isolation. I sincerely hope the mayor and councillors do not resile from their commitment. Joe Cauchi, Frankston South

Overdevelopment I was not surprised at Martin Dixon’s urging of the development of the Arthurs Seat Skylift (‘Short sighted, Letters 17/3/15). Anyone who has promoted the development of a chairlift to the junction of three readily and publicly accessible roads where ample car parking will be available while the drivers and passengers rest in a new enormous cafe clearly believes any project is a good project. Who needs to waste time on getting details right? This probably also explains how a project can be committed to without any public analysis or discussion of a business case (how a brand new 20-minute cable ride, at whatever

price compared to driving and parking for free, can generate a profitable operation is a marvel of promotional shtick. And all this to happen with no assessment of how the new “iconic” cafe will reduce visitations to other local attractions and businesses as it acts like a sponge on visitor circulation. It is not really surprising that rather than looking to amplify and distribute visitations throughout the broader hinterland an objective of the project is to merely draw the elderly, disabled and families to the cafe and shop and then offer them the chance of successfully crossing a dual lane, 60 kph, curving and sloping major road, which is only occasionally in rain and cloud, to mainly see Port Phillip. This has been enabled by Parks Victoria’s shameful “maintenance” and then destruction of the supposedly “historical” Arthurs Seat tower. Basic levels of competence, forthrightness and intelligent planning should not therefore be assumed. They have certainly not been demonstrated. The state government has decided that the lease over this section of the state park and all the business rights in this area can be increased tenfold, to 50 years, and given away without any public scrutiny (which legislation would have required if the area had been simply sold - a protection created after the land scandals of the 1970s). No environmental effects statement is needed either, as since when would a new major commercial facility along with all the attendant “office” facilities in a pre-eminent location in a rural/green wedge zone where stringent controls on commercial activities are otherwise enforced have an impact? Just as Collins St, Melbourne, was transformed with the building of enormous office towers by maintaining the fig leaf of the original buildings facades, this project will transform Arthurs Seat and the Main Ridge/ Red Hill hinterland into a drive-through cafe hub by maintaining the fig leaf of a chairlift. G M O’Loghlen, Arthurs Seat

MPs at work We were wondering where they were. Two weeks ago our local members [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon (‘Short sighted’) and Flinders MP] Greg Hunt (‘Independent review’) each wrote a letter to The News. Well done fellas – great to see you are out there batting for us. Fred Wild, Rye

Dog controls The tireless work of dedicated conservationists is not helped much by [state Environment] Minister Lisa Neville’s statements that they are supporting and working with organisations to protect threatened species. A complete ban in some areas of the state of dogs would be much more helpful. The problem with present laws and regulations is that there is no compliance. And enforcement is non-existent. If there would be some decent fines given out on a regular basis to offending dog owners, the problem of roaming dogs in national parks would soon be addressed. This is not only a problem in national parks. We have the same problem here on Western Port beaches with bad behaviour by dog owners and a lack of enforcement of regulations. Our hooded and red capped plovers are also being hounded from our beaches. Come on Minister, Do something. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Racist timeline “I’m not racist, but …” is the thing people say before they are about to say something racist. I never thought I would hear those words from a 70-year-old plus woman, but after she had accessed the ATM in front of me she went on to ask why languages are shown on the ATM. I pointed out that Australia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world and that some people were more comfortable with their native language, to which she replied, “in Australia we should speak Austral-

ian”. At that point, I tuned out. Why should I be so surprised that a senior member of our community displays that racist mindset? Perhaps it was because they were going to school during the World War II when the then prime minister John Curtin in reinforcing the White Australia Policy said, “This country shall remain forever the home of the descendants of those people who came here in peace in order to establish in the South Seas an outpost of the British race.” It would seem that many of these older people have not moved on from that statement despite the establishment of the 1966 Migration Act by the Holt government and the passing of the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act by the Whitlam government that made the use of racial criteria for any official purpose illegal. It is a shame that many of these older people, part of the “silent generation” that preceded the baby boomers continue to harbour these types of prejudices that are continually reinforced today by the draconian but ineffectual policies of the neo liberal Abbott government that attack human rights and associated humanitarian attitudes. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

‘Poor taste’ layout Upon reading your paper of 17 March, it occurred to me that the layout of story and advertisement was in poor taste. It featured a story about a tragic accident that occurred between a cyclist and a concrete truck, with the cyclist in an induced coma as a result. Immediately below was a large advertisement for Burdett’s House & Garden Supplies, featuring a very prominent picture of a concrete truck. I am sure the family of the cyclist didn’t need a further reminder of what put its family member into such a life threatening situation. Daniel McMahon, Hastings

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Residents startled by Frankston fire Compiled by Melissa Walsh A TRUCK of fat lambs from Sir John Madden’s Yamala Estate, on the Mornington road, sold in the Melbourne market recently realised the handsome prise of 26s 7d per head. *** THE 283 cases of fruit forwarded to Melbourne by the Somerville fruitgrowes and residents to be sold by auction on behalf of the Belgian Relief Fund, realised the handsome sum of £149 6s which, together with £3 10s in cash, has been forwarded to the Lord Mayor’s Fund. *** OUR readers are requested to remember the Jumble Fair and auction sale at Somerville Easter Monday night, the proceeds of which it is intended to give to the Red Cross Society. As the admission is only sixpence and the object a worthy one there is every reason to suppose that the committee will be well satisfied with the patronage given by the public of Somerville and district. *** MR J. Hogan notifies by advtisement in this issue that he had commenced business in Playne St, Frankston, as a general storekeeper, and invites the public to call and view his extensive stock of groceries and drapery in the extensive premises lately built by him. Ladies’ mantles and costumes are made on the premises and also childrens’ wear of all descriptions. *** THE Somerville Social Club have arranged with Mr W. Sweetland to give

his illustrated lecture on “How a great newspaper is published,” on Friday April 9th. Members will be admitted free of charge non members for the modest sum of sixpence. The Club is arranging a series of educational lectures which will be given free of charge to their members. *** A GRAND fair will be held in the Hastings Town Hall, on Friday and Saturday next. (9th and 10th April) in aid of the funds of the Hastings Methodist Church building fund.The fair will be open at 8 pm on Friday and on Saturday at 2.30pm continuing open during the afternoon and evening, up till 11 o’clock. The committee have on hand a large quantity of useful and ornamental articles, which they intend to dispose of, and hope to realize a fair amount for the building fund. *** MR E. A. Worrall, who has disposed of his hairdressing and tabacconist business in Frankston, is leaving the district for fresh fields and pastures new, after a residence here of about four years. During Mr Worrall’s stay he has been a useful citizen, taking part in any movement for the good of the place. The various sports clubs will miss him, more particularly the football club of which he was always a supporter, and plotted through one season as hon.secretary with marked success. The best wishes go with Mr and Mrs Worrall and family on their future home. *** EXTENSIVE alteration and additions

have lately been made to the Frankston State School and in order to celebrate the event in a proper manner an offical opening is announced to be held on Tuesday, 13th April, at which Mr J. Livingston (Minister of Education) Mr F. Tate (Director) and other officials are expected to take part. The ceremony will commence at 2.30 pm, and after the opening an adjournment will be made to the Mechanics Hall, where afternoon tea will be provided. In order to meet the expenses incidental to the occasion 1/6 will be charged for admission, and it is hoped that the parents and friends of the children will cooperate with the Board of Advice in making the affair a success. *** ON Easter Monday the Roman Catholics of Frankston and district are making their annual effort in aid of the funds of the Church and this year it will take the form of a “Tipperary Fair’ which will be held in the Mechanics Institute. This is the first bazaar that the promoters have held for 15 years in aid of the church and as they have a great variety of really good and useful articles to dispose of they feel assured that those who attend will be well catered for. The fair will open at 2 pm. and continue during the afternoon and evening. The following ladies have been appointed stall holders: Fancy stall -Mrs M Hogan, produce (paddy’s market)-Mrs Guumes, sweets-Mrs Jordan, Misses Butler and Hardiman, refreshments-Mrs Walsh, Misses Cahill and Blake; bran pie-Masters R. Coxall

and R. Hardiman. The secretarial duties are being carried out by Mrs A F. Mildred, and the President is Miss Q. Cahill. The Frankston brass band will play selections during the afternoon and evening. *** WE regret to have to record the death of Mrs Deane, wife of Mr T. E.Deane, of Hastings Road, Frankston, which sad event occurred on the 30th, at the residence of deceased’s sister at Preston, where she was on a visit. The husband and two children are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and mother. The remains were interred in the Melbourne General Cemetery on Wednesday. *** THE residents of Frankston were startled on Tuesday, about midday, by the alarm of the fire bell, and it was not long before each was enquiring of his neighbour “Where’s the fire?” When found, it was the grass in the park, which had caught alight mysteriously, and a number of willing hands quickly had it under control but did not succeed in extinguishing it wholly. The call of the bell was therefore heard again about 11 o’clock the same evening, when the flames were again subdued. Nothing more was heard of it till 1 o’clock on Wedresday, when it again became dangerous and had to be kept within bounds. *** WHILE Mr and Mrs O’Bryant were away from home on Sunday afternoon last somebody broke into their house and stole £2 10s. The intruders were

evidently well up to the game, as they came across a cheque which was crossed, but knew too much and didn’t take it away. *** THE Hastings Brass Band are going to play selections on the Pier on Sunday afternoon, and take up collection in aid of the Belgians. *** THE congregation of the Holy Trinity Church are tendering a send-off to Mr B Hanson on Tuesday night next in connection with the Independent Order of Rechabites. Both parties are giving him suitable presents. *** ON Sunday last an accident was very narrowly averted through a cyclist riding on the footpath which is a very dangerous practise. *** QUITE a gloom was cast over the district on Monday morning last when it became known that Mr Edward Coplan hap passed away in an alarmingly sudden manner at the early age of 44 years. Although the deceased had been laid up for about ten days with a severe attack of bronchitis no suspicion was aroused that his end was so near, and altogether he seemed to be making fair progress towards recovery and was hopeful of soon being at work again. A sudden fit of coughing brought on the sad end. The deceased, with his wife and family, had lived for many years in India, emigrating to this State about two years ago. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 April, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Things that should be fun but aren’t By Stuart McCullough IF golf is a good walk ruined, fishing makes the act of sitting around and not doing very much a supreme test of human endurance. My grandfather (pictured on far right) was a keen fisherman. He could plunge his bare hands into a glass of water and come out with a 12-inch trout, he was that good. My father missed out on the fishing gene and it soon became clear that it had skipped more than one generation. Suffice to say, my father is a terrible fisherman. I, on the other hand, am not quite as good as he is. Truth is, I always found it easier to catch a cold than I ever did a fish. Despite an absence of aptitude, we were required to try our hand and, if that failed, fishing rod. I would have been no more than six years old when I received a rod of my own. In fact, it wasn’t so much a rod as a giant cork with fishing line wrapped around it. Apparently, I wasn’t to be trusted with a proper rod. I spent hours staring at my oversized cork, wondering just how large the bottle must have been. My brother and I were taken to a variety of windswept, desolate locations where we expectantly lowered our hooks in the water and began the long and interminable wait to go home. When it came to fishing, I was useless at everything. To start, I found the idea of baiting a hook repulsive. This was attributable to the fact that, in an effort to be thrifty, we used live worms dug up in the backyard. Trying to thread one of those suckers onto the hook was not only difficult but also

downright nauseating. In the end, I resorted to tying my worms on with cotton to avoid harpooning them. Getting the bait on was the first of many problems. It seems I was incapable of unspooling my fishing line without it becoming an intractable Gordian knot. No sooner had it dropped off my giant cork than it was a bird’s nest, useless

for fishing. Despite the fact that I showed little in the way of aptitude or interest, I was eventually promoted from cork to rod. While you might think this kind of upgrade would better my chances, it was not to be. About the same time I received the rod, I was given my own tackle box. It was blue

with lots of compartments for hooks and sinkers. There was little variety. As men of substance, we didn’t go in for frippery like lures or anything that might increase our chances of actually catching a fish. We were, in that sense, purists. Had the object of fishing been to embed the hook as deeply as possible into a sunken tree trunk, I would have been an out and out champion. I’d go so far as to say that there’s not a fisherman alive who can capture a lump of wood as quickly as me. I wouldn’t even wait to wet my line before hooking a hapless eucalypt when attempting to cast. It’s a shame that more meals don’t feature wood as a key ingredient. We would have feasted like kings. Sadly, every lump of timber I hauled in was, in the traditional fishing manner, kissed and returned to the water from whence it came. As for the fish, the sight of me picking up a rod gave them a much-needed chance to relax. But we kept on trying all the same, perhaps in the hope that genetics would kick in and I would suddenly come good. The day never arrived. We’d stand by the side of a river, a huge supply of replacement hooks and sinkers by our sides, and wait for the sun to disappear. At some point, the bait on our lines would vanish, as if stolen by a master thief. We were staying beside the Goulburn River, outside Shepparton. I was as adept at camping as I was at fishing and, after 24 hours, was waiting for the chance to load up the car and

go home. But first we had to fish. With our rods in our hands and fishing lines limply dipping into the water, we waited as swarms of mosquitoes feasted on our faces and arms. Without warning, my line drew tight and I got the shock of my life. In all my years of fishing, I had never seen a tree branch fight like this before. But then the unthinkable occurred to me – what if, instead of a tree, this was an actual fish? I tried not to panic as I reeled it in. As the beast was hauled from the water my father pulled a face, saying, “It’s only a European carp”. It was, so he told me, barely edible. I told him I didn’t mean to carp – European or otherwise – but that we would either be eating this fish or having it stuffed and mounted in the living room. We ate it. Frankly, the whole experience left a bitter taste in my mouth, although that could easily have been the carp. I should have let it go. It’s often said that to spare the rod is to spoil the child but if that rod is a fishing rod, you’d be doing the kid a huge favour. As for me, my fishing days are long gone and the rod and reel have gone to that great shed in the sky. Tellingly, our father never went fishing without us. I think he was as relieved as we were when it was over. Fishing is so hugely popular that I feel a little guilty for disliking it. Still, I tried my best. But it was only a matter of time before fate would unhook me and send me back on my way. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE FIFTH ELEMENT By Melissa Walsh Mark Poulter sure knows how to create delicious cuisine, and his wife Cherie understands the importance of providing a friendly, welcoming environment for guests. That’s probably why the couple’s Veraison Restaurant at Bluestone Lane Vineyard in Merricks North has been number 1 on TripAdvisor for two years in a row. “Our menu is based on French influence as in all cooking French is the basic foundation. Over the past few years we have been introducing different themes. Last year we created dishes with an Italian slant and this season it will be Asian-inspired,” says Mark, who is particularly keen to incorporate umami into his dishes. “Umami is a relatively new ingredient in Australia but has been in Japan for 500 years. It comes from dried seaweed and is the fifth flavour,” explains Mark, “the other four flavours being sweet, sour, salty and bitter.” Mark says that creating the perfect dish is all about balance. “It’s about balancing the perfect flavours and this is the whole basis of cooking. Tastebuds work in such a way that if you balance your food you can please all tastes. It’s about flavour pairing and balance to create the perfect dish,” says Mark, who has been a chef for 28 years. Like any food connoisseur, Mark

explains umami poetically. “Umami is like fulfillment. It fills out everything and naturally enhances other flavours. We make stocks out of it, and add it to sauces and broths. It is not a specific flavour you will recognise but it is distinct because of its enhancement of a dish.” As with all of Mark’s ingredients, he only chooses the best from each region, whether local, interstate or international. “Certain places produce the best ingredients and we will not accept second best, which is why we import

our umami from Japan, our icecream ingredients from Italy, our fresh fish and vegetables from the peninsula, and some items from interstate like Tasmanian salmon,” he says. Veraison’s new menu will include produce now in season, and the best pickings from each area. “This season, asparagus is flourishing and of excellent quality so I will definitely be using this in my dishes.” Mark also uses authentic soy sauce from Japan, stored in 100-year-old barrels, and kombu from the north island of Hokkaido.

It’s (almost) on: Karingal and Frankston Bombers got to grips with the reality of a new football season in a preseason game on Saturday. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Arch rivals launch season, eye finals PENINSULA LEAGUE PREVIEW By Toe Punt EDITHVALE and Bonbeach will launch the 2015 Peninsula League football season on Good Friday. There has been enormous talk about both clubs in the pre-season but both should still be thinking about finals in 2015. Edithvale should be eyeing off a place in the top three, given it has sensational teenagers coming through the system, as well as the fact that Brett O’Hanlon has returned from Richmond. Bookends Nick Connellan and Brent Bowden are noticeable departures but they haven’t really lost a lot of others. Some quality teenagers have gone to try their hand in the VFL but that still doesn’t change the fact that they have retained many others. Brad Tagg was a player many thought was leaving but he has remained, as have the recruits that they picked-up the year before. Bonbeach on the other hand have lost plenty. How they recover from this will be interesting to watch. Shane McDonald and Paul Rebeschini are the biggest outs, while the likes of Ricky and Jason Ferraro, Cal McQueen, Danny Ades, Matthew Batten, Justin Bennett, Matt Clifford, Nathan Hicks, Rob Horler, and Anthony Raso are reasonable names to have lost. A big recruit for the Sharks has been former Collingwood and Carlton ruckman Chris Bryan. The Sharks’ reserves also played finals footy last season, so there is an element of depth.

On Easter Saturday, another massive contest is Pines v Seaford. The Tigers were just OK last season and have lost Tom Shaw, who is a massive out. They do regain Pat Cadd and Chris Fortnam from Pearcedale but they are past their best. Coach Ben Crowe needs to have a massive year and the many kids he introduced last season need to take the next step. Pines has been a talking point in the off season. Former Richmond, North Melbourne and West Coast Eagle forward Aaron Edwards has been the talk of the town. He will play a little higher up the ground while Guy Hendry remains the focal point. Luke Potts, a Pines boy, he returns home to where it all began. Despite the two big recruits new coach and former Python premiership player Pat Swayne believes structures and natural improvement will be where significant change is seen. “I think Pines went through the motions last year and played without a lot of game style or structure,” Swayne said. “We have worked tirelessly on this over the summer and believe we have a system that is capable of being really competitive. “Our practice match form against Cranbourne, Rowville and Rosebud has been solid and I’m confident we’ll be more competitive than we were last season. “Other than Frankston YCW, who is the reigning premier and stand-out, I think the season is wide open. “Our quality of depth has improved, there’s a real hunger amongst the

group and I think we have genuinely 32 guys vying for a senior spot each week. That’s great for the club,” Swayne said. Around the other clubs, Frankston YCW has added guns Anthony Bruhn and Paul Minchington from Frankston YCW, along with Lew Roberts, who returns, and Luke Collins, a star onballer who has played in Sale for the past three seasons. They lose the likes of Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe to Somerville and Anthony Barry to the VFL but the premiers will still be the yardstick. Karingal, under the guidance of new coach Michael Burke, is likely to improve but hold up the rest of the table. There’s eight teams who all have genuine claims on a top three spot.

Premier contenders shape up for season NEPEAN LEAGUE PREVIEW By Toe Punt NEPEAN League Football will kick off on Good Friday when arch rivals Rye and Rosebud launch the 2015 season. There has been enormous talk about Rye during the off-season and new coach and former Sorrento premiership player Josh Moore believes his side is well placed to challenge. His right hand man is former club premiership coach Steve Ryan, who is a big recruit himself. It will be tough though. The Demons have lost the key connection that helped to propel them to within a kick of last year’s Grand Final. The Semmel brothers - Jake, Luke and Ryan have all left the club while Chris Gleeson also left at season’s end. Jay Bruno, who won the league medal, left before the season finished and centre half forward Aaron Findlay has also walked again. However, the talk on the southern peninsula is that Rye is the best placed of all the sides down that way to win the flag. Whilst the Semmel brothers and Gleeson were good players on the field, culturally the talk was that they didn’t fit in. This season the “vibe” is the best it’s been in years and the result has been 199-game and former skipper Rhett Sutton signing on again. Moore said finals were an expectation and that the top three was the goal. “The players we have recruited have been sensational,” Moore said. They are all seasoned finals and premiership players and they know what we need to get where we want to go. “Findlay is a big loss but we have two outstanding emerging kids in Andrew Dean and Brady Egan who I rate highly and believe can become A-graders. “We’ve certainly got the list on paper to challenge,” Moore said. Moore said he wasn’t considering playing right now but conceded he had been training and that his body “felt great”. “I am here to coach Rye Football Club first and foremost and I was to devote all my time to get it right. If things are going well at the halfway mark and we think I can add some value, then I’ll reconsider them,” Moore said. “I’m also hopeful that Ben Holmes will return in the second half of the season also after getting through his triathlons,” Moore said. Moore has watched the last couple of Rosebud practice matches and believe they will be the big improver. “Rosebud has really impressed me and they seem to be up and going. Good Friday will be a great first-up hit-out,” Moore said. Despite the enormous talent that has walked from the club, footy experts believe Rye has picked up three of the best half a dozen players in the Eastern Football League. The pick of them is Ryan Mullett, who has a number of league medals to his name. He hasn’t played a practice match but has done his first full pre-season in two years. Mullett is “flying”, according to Moore.

Hastings Tyre Service has joined a new independent tyre service group -

Same store, new look

Former Hawthorn player Simon Taylor is also a notable in for the Demons and Adrian Gilleno is a key forward who kicked almost 50 goals last season. He’s been dominant in the practice matches. The Demons take on Rosebud, arguably the unluckiest side in the competition last season. Rosebud lost five games by less than two goals in 2014 and stars Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley had virtually no influence on the season. Rhys Bancroft was another player who missed the majority of the season with an ankle injury. They have all done full pre-seasons. Rosebud has recruited two guns from Subiaco in the WAFL, Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest, while Jamie Clarke returns after a stint away. Had the Buds won those close games last season, they would have pushed for the top three. With all the talk surrounding other clubs, the Buds have flown under the radar in the pre-season. They still have an outstanding list and will be hard to beat. Ruckman Paul Lewis won’t be an easy one to replace, however and if they have a deficiency, it will be in the ruck. All of the talk in the off-season has centred around Somerville. Why wouldn’t it? The Eagles have landed a VFL star in Scott Simpson, an ex-AFL draftee in Tim McGennis, two 2014 premiership players in Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe (YCW), two 2014 grand final players in Adrian Speedy and Anthony Simpson (Mornington) and Peninsula goal kicking machine in Tommy Shaw (Seaford). On Saturday, the Eagles belted Langwarrin by 10 goals in a practice match with full forward Adrian Ridout dominating with half a dozen. He did tear his hamstring late though and will certainly miss the first month or so. Leigh Stewart and McGennis had more than 25 touches each, Justin Farrelly was at his best in the ruck, Scott Simpson did as he pleased and Todd Farrelly and Kane McKenzie controlled the back half. There was no Tom Shaw, Speedy or Ben Sedgewick either. The Eagles are flag favorites, no question about that. They have arguably the best list in the entire MPNFL, outside of Frankston YCW in Peninsula. They will smash Tyabb on Easter Saturday, who have lost even more players in the off-season, including skipper Ethan Rahilly and onballer Dale Binks, both who crossed to Langwarrin. The other Easter Saturday game is that between Sorrento and Dromana. We used to get so very excited about this game. In 2015, we just hope that Dromana gets out of it with a less than 10 goal thumping. After Dromana’s 2014 premiership, they lost around 15 players during that pre-season. They have lost another 16 this pre-season, including the likes of skipper Jay Neratzoglou, Paul Minchington, Anthony Bruhn, Cal Park and Steven Gaertner. The Sharks, the reigning premiers, have lost a few through retirement, while prize recruit Luke Tapscott from Melbourne has a back injury and will miss the first half of the season. They have a very talented Under 19 side though and many of them will play regular senior footy.

They also still have the likes of Troy Schwarze, Guy Stringer, Leigh Poholke, Tyrren Head and Leigh Treeby. Around at other clubs, Crib Point seems to have recruited quite well but has lost star Dean Warry. Red Hill is a bit the same but has lost star forward Jarryd Douglas to the VFL. Former Pearcedale skipper Matt Vagg played for the Hillmen on the weekend though and might be the replacement they need. They have also picked-up Seamus Thompson from Dromana, who will slot straight into the ruck, while they are still hopeful that Joe Kreiger will make an appearance. Devon Meadows have lost a few and gained a few and probably won’t improve much from last season, while Hastings has done extremely well in the recruiting with the likes of Paul Rogasch, while Shaun Foster and Cal McQueen have crossed from Bonbeach. They beat Mornington in a practice match last Saturday, comfortably. Frankston Bombers have recruited well in getting Beau Muston from Langwarrin. Mitch Bosward and Jay Reynolds will be big losses, while they have lost Anthony Fulton also. The Bombers are up and about but have only played Bonbeach and Karingal. The Sharks will be average and the Bulls are starting from a long way back, so it’s hard to gauge their pre-season form.

Frankston Bombers Ins: Josh Chapman (YCW), Jason Curry, Jake Smith, Beau Muston (Langwarrin), James Orr (Loddon Valley), Andrew White (North Central), Brian O’Carroll (returns).

Motoring Toyota 86: Sharp steering, even sharper value Toyota has added the safety of a reversing camera and the convenience of a touch-screen display audio system to the GT variants of its top-selling 86 sports car. The value-added features are worth at least $1,000 but are now included at no extra cost on the GT manual while the GT auto price has been lowered by $300. A full-size spare wheel can now be ordered at no extra cost, giving customers an alternative to the weight-saving tyre-repair kit which is fitted as standard. Prices have also been reduced for the GTS grades – the manual by $500 and the auto by $800 as a result of recent duty reductions. As a result of the running changes, the price for the most affordable 86 remains at $29,990 – unchanged from the popular car’s launch price more than two-and-a-half years ago. The reversing camera image is viewed on the new 6.1-inch touch-screen monitor that doubles as the control centre for the upgraded audio system. GTS variants already have these features with the addition of satellite navigation^. Other features managed through the 86 audio system include voice recognition and hands-free operation for a mobile phone, audio streaming, FM radio text, iPod control, USB input, SD card slot and a CD player. A neat addition to the boot when the fullsize spare is fitted comes in the shape of a urethane cover embossed with the 86 logo and the model’s distinctive T-mesh motif, a design repeated throughout the car in areas such as the grille, instrument panel and meters. The 86 has become a cult hero since being

launched in mid-2012 due to being compact, lightweight and affordable – and with balance and handling rated in the same league as some legendary sports cars. It has been Australia’s best-selling sports car for the past two years with local sales topping 13,000 cars since June 2012 – the third-highest total in the world. The dynamic abilities and fun-to-drive characteristics of the 86 provide a credible platform for motorsport, leading Toyota to an-

nounce recently the 86 will form the basis of a one-make race series. Known as the Toyota 86 Pro-Am, it will be an affordable, grassroots motorsport series to be raced exclusively at V8 Supercars events from next year. Under the banner Toyota Racing Australia, it will be run as a pro-am. Up to five selected professional drivers will mentor and compete against a larger field of amateur drivers who will have to qualify to get onto the starting

grid at each round. The 86 race cars will be based on the GT manual with key specifications controlled to ensure their suitability and reliability while keeping costs as low as possible. Further details of the series will be released in coming months. In the meantime, potential competitors can register their interest on the Toyota website at www.toyota.com.au/86/ pro-am
