Labor commits to wedge protection Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au NEW Planning Minister Richard Wynne has given the first indication that Kingston’s Green Wedge will not be opened up to residential development under a Labor state government.

Kingston Council is pressing ahead with a proposal to rezone land between Kingston and Heatherton roads and Lower Dandenong Rd and on the east-

ern side of Tootal Rd in Dingley Village to a Rural Living Zone.

Councillors narrowly voted five-four late last year to order a report from consultants Meinhardt’s to investigate the option at a cost of $164,000 to ratepayers.

Any such plan would have to be approved by the state government.

Mr Wynne told The News: “It’s up to the Kingston Council to determine how they choose to spend ratepayer

funds but this government’s position is clear: we are committed to maintaining and strengthening the integrity of Victoria’s Green Wedges, and legislating for a permanent urban growth boundary.”

Mr Wynne’s comments also seem to put a block on a contentious bid by Mentone Grammar to have its Keysborough playing fields removed from the urban growth boundary.

The News revealed last year that the

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

elite private school made a submission - kept confidential by council at the time - to Planisphere asking council to consider the request.

Planisphere recommended the playing fields remain within Kingston’s Green Wedge but councillors subsequently narrowly voted to investigate the possibility of removing the sports fields from the Green Wedge.

Mr Wynne said the Green Wedges “are the result of careful long term

planning to preserve the liveability of Melbourne”.

“The government made clear commitments to the protection of Melbourne’s Green Wedges and the locking down of the urban growth boundary in its planning policy document, Keeping It Liveable. I am committed to preserving our open spaces for future generations and protecting productive farmland and jobs in the horticultural and agricultural industries.”

Wayne gets a little help from his friends BIG names from the music industry came together at Longbeach RSL hall on Sunday to support a mate – and soon had the hall rocking.

The ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’ charity concert was staged to help fellow musician Wayne Higgins who is in the Royal Melbourne Hospital suffering from severe leukaemia.

Well-known friends included the evergreen Glenn Shorrock, of Little River Band fame, Mike Rudd, formerly of Spectrum, popular country music band Jetty Road, John Wells singing with the Lazy Boys, The X Factor finalist Andrew Wishart, girl cabaret group The She-lahs, as well as Higgins’ sister, Jenny, singing with her Jennifer Lee Band, and her daughter Alanah, who sings and writes her own songs.

All performed for free and about $10,000 was raised on the day. This will go to support Higgins who is awaiting a bone marrow transplant. A condition of his illness is that he must remain within five minutes of the hospital over the next eight weeks to

be ready to accept the gift.

Higgins was too ill to attend the concert but his sister said he would be thrilled. She said $5 from each of the 312 tickets sold - $1560 - would go to support the work of the hospital.

Raffles and auctions added to funds raised, and “many people just came up and said here’s some money”.

“Wayne is a huge country fan and we were just so lucky to be able to call on these people to do the show,” Jenny said.

“Everyone did their songs and then they all came up on stage for the finale: ‘I get by with a little help from my friends’ and the feeling was electric.

They were all so supportive. Even the Chelsea RSL and the PA people gave everything for free.

“Also, a film friend of mine did a video and it will soon be up on YouTube.”

Those wishing to donate can look up ‘Wayne Higgins With a Little Help From My Friends’ on Facebook.

A DECISION by Kingston councillors to split three licences held by the Pompei family estate has failed to quell troubled waters at Mordialloc Creek.

After a long-running expression of interest campaign councillors decided last month to award a Pompei’s Landing licence for a slipway and boat maintenance area to Leon Pompei and a boat ramp licence to the Mordialloc Boating and Angling Club (‘Pompei creek leases by councillors’, The News 25/2/15).

Council will take over a third licence for moorings in the area.

Mr Pompei, son of the late “Mr Mordialloc” Jack Pompei, said he is unhap-

py at council’s decision to effectively take two licences out of his family’s hands.

His business plan for the area submitted to council outlined a proposal for apprentices to learn boat building in partnership with the Boating Industry Association of Victoria and GoTAFE. “My business plan created jobs,” Mr Pompei said.

“They [council] don’t have the authority to do what they’re doing.”

He said he will take his concerns to the state government and is taking legal action against Kingston Council.

Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said he, councillors Rosemary West, Ron Brownlees and council CEO John Nevins had met with all stakeholders at the creek last week to “walk through”

DOGS can run free thanks to upgrades at Mordialloc’s Kevin Hayes Reserve and Bicentennial Park dog off-leash areas.

Kingston Council has invested $110,000 in the new facilities, which give dog owners improved facilities to exercise their pets.

Improvements to Kevin Hayes Reserve include new paths to formalise the dog agility area; new seats, bins, picnic settings and shelter; extra tree and garden bed plantings, and new fencing.

Improvements to Bicentennial Park include new pathway surrounding the dog exercise area; new seats, picnic setting and shelter; extra trees planted to provide shade near the dog exercise area and relocating the drinking fountain with dog bowl.

There are more than 25 off-leash dog areas across Kingston to help dog owners exercise and enjoy time with their pets.

Owners are reminded by council that they must retain effective control of their dogs at all times.

Dogs off-leash

council’s decision on the three licences.

“We had a general chat and we’re at pains to emphasis that if someone wants to use the ramp to pull a boat out that has to be fixed then they can do that ... or put a boat in to go fishing,” Cr Gledhill said.

“We’ve got a long-term vision for that area [under the Mordialloc Creek master plan] and hopefully ... they want to be part of it in the future.”

Cr Gledhill said “there’s no hiding the fact there’s been disagreements there”.

“If we can make changes and facilitate an outcome that dissipates that level of disagreement then that’s what we want to do.”

Cr West told The News she had voted for “the compromise motion”

on the creek licences as “it kept alive the possibility of a more collaborative outcome”.

“It was not because I thought we had had a fair or necessary process, nor because this was the best possible outcome,” she said.

“I would like to see the GoTafe proposal for boatbuilding apprentice training ... given further consideration by council.”

Cr West was reluctant to vote “to take the Pompei moorings from Leon Pompei” but “this seemed a better and fairer outcome than the officer report recommendation for a winner-takeall approach, giving all of the Pompei leases to another party”.

Council is proposing the three licences are split between each party on a three-year term basis.

KINGSTON police used the Labour Day holiday weekend (6-9 March) to reinforce the road safety message.

They conducted 3233 roadside tests on drivers and detected 380 offences.

These included catching and processing 11 drink/drivers and 70 speeding drivers – several by more than 25km over the limit.

Police detected 56 drivers using mobile phones and 52 driving unregistered cars. Two cars were impounded.

“Speed and distraction offences – such as talking on mobile phones while driving – are major causes of accidents and loss of life,” Inspector Bruce Wemyss said.

“We don’t apologise that we are now using new technology to catch offenders. Also, that we are using higher vehicles, such as Ford Territories, to be able to look down on other drivers and see if they are fiddling with phones or laptops.

“Also, we have access to lots of data and that gives us a strategic advantage.”

Fireys jump to save cats near ‘hot tin roof ’ A FAULTY fridge caused a fire in an Edithvale house in the early hours of last Wednesday prompting a family of four to flee into the garden.

The Edithvale pumper, car and Patterson River pumper and 11 firefighters attended the fire which was later found to be contained in the kitchen fridge.

Edithvale Captain Graham Fountain said the family was lucky the house’s power safety switch had activated and that one of their children had alerted them to a burning smell while they slept.

It was later found the faulty fridge had earlier been recalled due to safety concerns. The owners were unaware of the recall and had taken no action.

Firefighters said the house was without power when they arrived.

They at first used a thermal imaging camera to find the source of the smell, but could not detect it.

Through a process of elimination they determined the fridge was tripping the power. Looking inside they found it had been on fire internally with molten plastic and fire damage in the freezer and compartments.

“This reaffirms the need to monitor and act on safety recalls in order to avoid the inevitable risk that was evident on this occasion,” Captain Fountain said.

He also emphasised the value of power safety switches and smoke alarms. “On this occasion they had prevented significant damage and saved the family of four,” he said.

The fridge recall was issued by Fisher & Paykel for all E522B/

RF610A units from April 2006 2007.

In another incident, Edithvale Fire Brigade and two MFB appliances were called to reports of smoke rising from a house in Aspendale on Thursday afternoon. They found a fire well established in the roof space of the weatherboard home.

Edithvale’s pumper, tanker and car and MFB pumper 33 and pumper tanker 29 and 20 fire fighters attend-

ed, as well as specialist breathing apparatus support staff from Frankston and the MFB. A new corrugated iron roof made access to the roof space difficult. While crews prepared to enter the building, a protection line was established to safeguard a caravan in the neighbour’s driveway. Officers used the MFB’s ‘rattle gun’ to quickly remove roofing iron to allow easier access into the roof space to extinguish the fire.

Edithvale Incident Controller Peter Tripp praised the efforts of crews.

“CFA and MFB crews always work well together, and it was no exception in this case,” he said.

“Though we were able to limit internal fire damage to the front third of the house, most of the roof space was affected by fire with the remainder of the house smoke and water damaged.”

The owners arrived home soon af-

ter fire crews arrived, concerned for their two cats - one acquired the day before. It was found hiding under a couch in a back room, and the older cat was thought to be hiding under the house and about to come out soon.

CFA fire investigators next morning found the fire was caused by an electrical fault. Police, United Energy and gas company staff were also on scene.

Harvest Festival New traffic solution for Wilson Street Cheltenham expressions of interest invited by 2 April Council had originally proposed a three month trial closure at the middle point of Wilson Street to address safety concerns caused by large numbers of cars using the local street as a shortcut. But during community consultation Council met with several groups and received a 2000 signature petition opposed to the trial closure. Council is keen to find a solution that the surrounding community supports, which is why we will now be installing two permanent single lane passing zones to slow down the traffic and discourage people from using the local street as a shortcut.

Liquor License holders are invited to express their interest in operating the bar at Kingston’s Harvest Festival in Carrum on 9 May. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to be a part of one of Kingston’s premier community events. Expressions of interest are welcome from groups that hold a liquor license.

First signal of crossings removal plan Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE first hints about where level crossings may be removed first along the Frankston line have emerged.

Traffic measurement devices were installed around Bentleigh and McKinnon train stations last week.

The state government has pledged to separate 50 road level crossings from rail tracks across Victoria with 20 to be separated within four years.

Eleven Frankston line level crossings have been earmarked for removal. Before November’s state election Premier Daniel Andrews called level crossings Victoria’s “number one traffic nightmare”.

“They hold up cars, they slow down trains, they take young lives, they’ve got to go,” the then opposition leader said.

Last month the Labor state

government announced the formation of a Level Crossings Removal Authority to oversee the vast project to remove the 50 level crossings.

While there has been no official confirmation of where the level crossings will be removed quickly along the Frankston line, the installation of the traffic measurement devices at Bentleigh and McKinnon would suggest those two stations may be high on the priority list.

First term Labor MPs Paul Edbrooke (Frankston), Sonya Kilkenny (Carrum) and Tim Richardson (Mordialloc) will hope level crossings in their electorates will face the axe sooner rather than later before they face voters at the next state election.

A Labor insider has told The Times the level crossing at Balcombe Rd, Mentone in the Mordialloc electorate is almost certain to be removed within four years.

Public transport is seen as a highly

visible votes winner or loser along the Frankston line ‘bellwether’ seats which effectively hold the Spring St balance of power.

VicRoads metropolitan projects project director Brendan Pauwels confirmed the Bentleigh and McKinnon station devices are part of the project to remove 50 level crossings.

“VicRoads has started investigations at various level crossings to better understand traffic, congestion and community use,” he said.

“As part of this work, we will be undertaking survey counts at a number of level crossings set for removal across Melbourne, including at Centre Rd, Bentleigh and McKinnon Rd, McKinnon.”

An Andrews government spokesman said no Frankston line level crossings had yet been chosen for urgent removal since the government is “still in a pretty early stage of planning”.

THEFTS from cars are a continuing concern for Kingston police. A thief manipulated the lock on a tradie’s ute parked in the front yard of a Whatley St, Carrum, house overnight on 13 March and stole tools valued at $11,255.

These included multiple drills, tool kits and optical fibre tool kits.

The tools were in the canopy-covered tray of the ute which was not alarmed.

Thieves take cameras MENTONE Grammar in Venice St, Mentone, was targeted by thieves last weekend with seven Canon SLR cameras stolen valued at $1400 each – a total of $9800.

The offenders used unlocked windows in the HR office and arts room to gain entry to the offices and threw paper around creating a mess.

The cameras, along with lenses and cases, were stolen from a storage cupboard. Computers and cash were untouched.

Copper their target COPPER thieves have again been active in Braeside. Last weekend offenders gained entry to three of six incomplete buildings in Canterbury Rd via temporary fencing.

They then used bolt cutters and a hacksaw to cut copper piping to usable lengths before running off.

The stolen copper is valued at $1000 and damage to the site valued a $3000.

Family suspected A WOMAN and two children aged 14 and 16 are suspected of stealing tools and gardening equipment from

the front nature strip of a house in Catherine Av, Chelsea, at 5.30pm last Thursday.

A resident was unloading his car and placing the tools on the nature strip before taking a gas bottle into his house.

He returned after five-15 minutes but the gardening equipment was gone.

A neighbour said he saw a woman, a boy and a girl walking down the street with the items but, as they were walking, he reportedly “didn’t think any more about it”.

The woman is described as Caucasian, tall, 45 years old, with mousey blond hair. The children are Caucasian and average height.

Jewellery haul BURGLARS ransacked a house in Ocean Beach Drive, Patterson Lakes, last Wednesday.

They used a jemmy bar to force open an external flyscreen and a bathroom sliding window to gain entry. Kingston police said the entire house had been ransacked, with every draw and cupboard searched.

An iPad and Citizen watch were stolen from the main bedroom, and necklaces and a Fossil watch from a spare bedroom.

Also stolen were a Murano glass blue/purple ring from Venice, sterling silver Celtic earrings, bracelet with heart clip and sterling silver bracelet with charms.

The offenders also jemmied open the garage door but nothing was stolen. Neighbours reported hearing a black ute screech around the corner, but no registration was taken down.

Cyclist clings to life after early morning collision Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.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

Loving father and husband, and popular friend: Luke Matthews’ Facebook profile picture. Left, Mr Matthews hugs his daughter Annabel on her first day of school this year. Pictures supplied

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.

Author hopes writers can achieve lift-off LONELY days and nights writing led Black Rock author Danae Andrea Harwood to see a gap in the book market – a tome aimed at both budding and experienced authors to help with the emotional side of writing.

There are countless books about “the nuts and bolts” of writing but Ms Harwood hadn’t seen any focusing on the feelings authors can experience while trying to express themselves via the printed word.

The author of several books decided to put together The Writer’s Runway: 100 strategies for the aspiring writer’s head, heart & soul to share the lessons she has learned on her writing journey.

The busy mother of 18-year-old twin boys said writing can be a miserable experience at times despite

the joy when an article or book is published.

“Emotions involved can involve being isolated, rejection and relationships writers have with their family,” Ms Harwood said. “[The book] doesn’t tell writers what to do but there are affirmations writers can use as a tool.”

Ms Harwood said The Writer’s Runway is tailored more towards fiction writers but “there is also practical information on all types of writing”.

“It’s been very difficult for writers in general to be accepted by traditional publishers. Apparently under 1 per cent of submissions received is ever published and just under 0.02 per cent of that 1 per cent ever become best sellers.”

Such long odds of success can make it tough for writers to stay motivated, especially if friends and family do not understand why someone would persist in the face of continued rejection from publishers.

“I just felt that there’s not much out there that talks about the reclusive side of writing … and your family having to understand the writer in you,” Ms Harwood said.

“I’m sure other writers go through similar experiences too.”

Ms Harwood has read “affirmations in other books on other subjects” but none specifically about writing.

She hopes The Writer’s Runway, which does not shy away from the tough times when writing and is billed as “for writers with backbone” in the book’s blurb, can also “lift the

MOONAH LINKS

spirit” of writers.

“The book gives tips on how to motivate yourself when you’re feeling tired and turn the attitude around to be excited about writing even at the end of a long day.”

Ms Harwood is halfway through writing a sequel to The Writer’s Runway, available on Amazon’s Kindle, since there is so much information to share with fellow writers. n Danae Andrea Harwood will give a talk about The Writer’s Runway at Mentone Public Library, 36 Florence St, Mentone on Saturday 28 March, 11am. Entry by gold coin donation.

Hat-trick of championships wins MENTONE Life Saving Club Nippers did themselves proud over the weekend winning the Victorian Junior Lifesaving Championships at Warrnambool beach.

It was their second win in a row – but it was tight. By the end of Sunday, scores were so close that Life Saving Victoria officials spent Monday morning checking results before announcing Mentone as the 2015 champion on 371 points.

In second place – 16 points behind - was Jan Juc on 355 and Half Moon Bay third on 220 points.

Other Kingston clubs to compete were Bonbeach, Chelsea-Longbeach and Mordialloc.

Chelsea-Longbeach won silver in both the U9 girls and boys’ wade relay, as well as bronze in the U12 mixed two-person rescue-and-resuscitation event.

Bon Beach’s Gabriel Uberti won silver in the U9 boys’ beach sprint and bronze in the U12 boy’s belt-and-reel event.

Mordialloc’s Olivia McKie won the U9 girls’ beach sprint and placed second in the beach relay, while Kimberley Gilling won the U12 girls’ iron woman.

Mentone Team A won the U13 girls’ Aqua Cameron relay event for the third year.

On the sand, Mentone won the U9 girls, U10 girls, U12 boys, U13 girls and U14 girls’ beach relays.

Organisers said the “atmosphere was electric”

throughout the weekend as thousands of nippers, parents and supporters converged onto the beach be part of the final junior state carnival for the season.

Competition started at 8am Saturday after the swearing in of the athletes and officials by U14 Half Moon Bay competitor Oscar Lewis and official Justine Birchall, of Black Rock.

Sunday began with the traditional March Past followed by the Official Junior Lifesaving Award Ceremony soon after.

LSV aquatic sport junior coordinator Luke Gavin said the March Past, where teams march in their club colours with a traditional reel and line, was a highlight. “This tradition dates back to our earliest lifesaving carnivals and is always a great spectacle,” he said.

Other major award winners were: n U13 female water champion: Teiki Waata, Mentone n U13 female beach champion: Ashleigh Harvie, Mentone n U14 male water champion: Trenton Johnson, Mordialloc n U14 female beach champion: Natalie Clucas, Mentone n March past champions: Mentone, third.

Mr Gavin said exciting finishes over the two days included Mentone’s Team A U13 girls who won the Aqua Cameron relay event for the third consecutive year.

NEWS DESK

Hearts breaking at the ashram Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.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 which, 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

Peaceful exterior: To the outside observer all looks peaceful and quite at the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga, Mt Eliza, but former followers of the school’s spiritual leader are angry at divisions caused by his self-admittewd behaviour. Picture: Gary Sissons

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 “Santags” 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

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 unfoldment 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.”

HOUSE & LAND

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Colonial design of the future PAYING homage to our colonial past, the magnificent Homestead range features wide verandahs, an impressive façade and spacious family living. The Homestead is part of the innovative new range of designs available from Red Bluff Homes, designs specifically tailored to buyers with acreage or hobby farms on which to build their dream home. The house has been designed to make the most of rural views with living areas, including the rumpus room, family room, meals and kitchen areas all positioned at the front. Rows of tall windows run the length of the exterior, designed to capture the surrounding countryside and, if the home is orientated to the north, the winter sunlight. Buyers have a choice of four different facades, at no extra cost.

The kitchen and meals areas have long been the heart of country homes and with The Homestead this is no exception. The spacious kitchen has a huge walk-in pantry, and is centrally located to the open-plan meals and family areas. The Homestead cleverly separates the casual family living areas from the parents’ retreat so that busy couples can retire to their own private sanctuary, complete with walk-in robe and ensuite. The flexibility of the design means the separate formal dining room could also be incorporated into the master bedroom creating an even bigger parents’ retreat. The design also offers flexibility when it comes to the configuration of the bathroom, toilet and storage space at the family living end of the home, with buyers offered four

options from which to choose. Outside, the fantastic return verandah harks back to the grand colonial country homes that dotted Australia’s farming districts. The Homestead measures 25.5 metres by 12 metres including verandah and starts at $215,000 on your land. For more details and a list of inclusions contact Red Bluff Homes on 9709 0400.

REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT 19 Met with Merits from ACHS

in their care through patient centered care principles and in planning and evaluating services. All the actions that contribute to meeting the 15 Standards have been comprehensively met, and 19 Met with Merits achieved, a remarkable achievement at the beginning of the journey through EQuIP National Standards.”

The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) is an independent, not-for-profit organization, dedicated to improving the quality of health care in Australia through continual review of performance, assessment and accreditation, with a specific focus on safety, quality and performance.

During our organisational wide survey, conducted in October 2014, we were recognised for our ongoing commitment to quality and safety. We were awarded full accreditation for four years and achieved 19 Met with Merits.

FEEDBACK from ACHS surveyor - “St John of God Frankston is leading most of its peers in rehabilitating patients and returning them to optimal function. This is demonstrated by AROC scores

that compare all contributing rehabilitation services across the Nation such as achievement of a high Functional Improvement Measurement, (1.2 points above the benchmark group), and return to

accommodation equal or above preepisode accommodation of 99.2%, (19.3% above the benchmark group).

There is a very strong commitment led

by St John of God Health Care Inc and the Executive to involving patients

In particular, we were recognised for our outstanding achievement in:

5. Clinical handover 6. Blood management 7. Incident and feedback management 8. Pressure injury management 9. Falls prevention and management 10.Buildings and utilities This is a significant result reflecting the dedicated work and commitment of all our caregivers to raising and maintaining high standards of service and care. The surveyors noted and commended the commitment of caregivers in involving patients in their care and providing good patient care outcomes.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Wedding bells chime at St Paul’s Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE annual sports and picnic will be held at Moorooduc on Wednesday next, when a programme of about 20 events will be gone through. Hot water will be provided for picnickers.

The sports will start at one o’clock sharp. *** INTENDING competitors at the Tyabb Show are reminded that entries close on Wednesday next, though late entries may be received up to midday on Thursday on payment of an extra shilling. The Hon. A. 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.

“I will be entering a feta, a small handmade goat’s cheese and a washed rind which is made from cow’s milk,” explains the amateur cheesemaker, who is a chef by trade. “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. It’s hard – I torture myself with it!”

Cheesemaking is a tricky, exacting game; one which brings together science, a ‘feel for the curd’ 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 Peninsula’s tastiest culinary success stories.

“The business possibly grew too fast!” 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 Show’s Amateur Cheesemaking competition first learned their craft from the Brandons.

The Brandons’ 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 Show’s Amateur

Cheesemaking competition. Just do not be misled by the ‘Amateur’ title.

“The reason I enter is that the criteria is really high”, says Bruce Charlton. “They don’t give away ribbons, take it from me. You don’t want to be judged by a plonker! For hobbyists, it sets a high benchmark: when you do well, you know you’ve done well.”

The Red Hill Show takes place at the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday 28th March. The Peninsula’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

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 18 March 2015

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 pro­ perly appreciate the awesome mind-blowing 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 stop­ ped 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

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.
