COMMUTERS using Frankston train station in future may have to pay to park as part of the redevelopment of the transport hub.

Labor pledged to spend $50 million to upgrade the train station and its surrounds before winning last November’s state election. The

project may become a private public partnership joint venture.

A Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce headed by Labor MP Paul Edbrooke has been established and formally met for the first time last Wednesday (11 March).

“We are seeking private investment into this project and that might be in the way of buildings around the station [or] it could be in parking,” Mr Edbrooke said.

“We [may] get someone who says ‘we will build or give you half the money for the car park’”.

Representatives from council, police, Chisholm TAFE, the Frankston Business Network, Public Transport Victoria and government officials are taskforce members.

The Times understands talk at the first taskforce meeting held at the Frankston Arts Centre focused on structuring the project but the

viability of building a multi-deck car park at the train station at a cost of about $20 million is focusing minds on the project’s overall budget.

It is early days for the train station upgrade project, seen as vital to improve Frankston’s amenity and reputation, but even so the $20 million needed to build a new car park will put pressure on the $50 million budget allocated to revitalise the train station.

Charging commuters to park at Frankston train station could be a way to ensure the station receives a state-of-the-art upgrade rather than a limited refurbishment.

Parking at Frankston station’s car park is currently free but overcrowding makes it impossible to get a parking space at peak travel times.

Pets prohibited: Many dog owners are unaware dogs are banned in Frankston’s city centre streets even when walked on a leash.

Pictures: Gary Sissons

Dogs ban reversal ‘barking mad’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A PUSH to overturn a ban on dogs in Frankston’s city centre has been called “poor public policy” by a former mayor.

Kris Bolam said the move, pursued by mayor Cr Sandra Mayer, has come out of the blue to “seemingly placate a few people that want to have their canine by their side when they are sipping on lattes”.

“What about the undesirable element that we often see and encounter on Young Street?” Mr Bolam asks (Letters Page 12).

“Are you going to let these people bring their canines to our town centre and create even more problems? Many of them are hardly responsible members of society let alone responsible pet owners.”

Cr Mayer told radio station 3AW last week that a 20-year ban on dogs

in Frankston city centre had come into force in 1995 after it was found to be “a hostile environment to animals”.

The mayor said she had decided to speak to fellow councillors about the possibility of removing the ban at next month’s public council meeting.

Cr Mayer said a Frankston pet owner had told her she travelled to Mt Eliza to dine out accompanied by her dog.

“The concern was about dogs biting people and each other and excrement on the footpaths” when dogs were banned from Frankston city centre streets 20 years ago, according to Cr Mayer.

The mayor believes Frankston is the only city in Victoria which bans dogs from its main streets.

Cr Mayer said councillors had indicated they would support her proposal at next month’s council meeting.

A council officers’ report would then be prepared and community consultation would be sought.

Frankston police told The Times a bylaw change is a decision for council.

Council records show 254 dogs “have been detected in the city centre” since December 2003 with 236 warnings and 18 infringements issued to dog owners.

There have been three “very serious dog attacks” reported in the city centre and the animals were seized.

“Is the council prepared to take responsibility for the inevitable dogon-dog, dog-on-human and humanon-human conflicts that will arise as a result of such a policy reversal?” Mr Bolam asked.

Cr Mayer told 3AW many people did not realise dogs were banned in the city centre and warning notices for first offences were on the rise.

When The Times asked council for the annual breakdown of warning notices for the past three years council advised the statistics were not available and would take time to collate.

Commuters may face parking fees at station Continued from Page 1 While Mr Edbrooke said paid parking could be on the agenda he said “it’s very premature” to know whether fees for parking will be introduced but “it’s quite a possibility in my mind”.

Mr Edbrooke said the myki card system could be used to pay for car parking but the taskforce had not yet discussed this option.

The taskforce will formally meet each month.

Frankston councillors met behind closed doors last Tuesday evening (10 March) to discuss council input into the station revamp.

Deputy mayor Cr Glenn Aitken said “council is working to ensure it has a well-considered position regarding the redevelopment of the railway station precinct to present to the government taskforce”.

Council’s draft interim submission will be available for community

feedback before an official submission is made to the taskforce.

A public meeting will be held on 1 April before council’s formal submission is finalised.

The previous Coalition government promised $33 million to upgrade the train station area before its November state election defeat. n The Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce has nine members.

They are: Paul Edbrooke (Frankston Labor MP), Sandra Mayer (Frankston mayor), Maria Peters (Chisholm TAFE CEO), Anthony Silva (Victoria Police), Karin Hann (Frankston Business Network executive officer), Jasminder Singh (Public Transport Victoria), Rob Robson (Public Transport Victoria), Julian Lyngcoln (Department of Environment and Primary Industries), Geoff Oulton (Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure).

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”.

BUY DIRECT & SAVE! New group: Sue and Rebekah Summers are reaching out to those who experience epilepsy to share the burden.

Picture: Yanni

FRESH start for epilepsy help A SUPPORT group for epilepsy sufferers in the south east region has been established in Frankston.

Seaford resident Sue Summer’s daughter Rebekah has lived with epilepsy for 23 years and the duo decided to set up a forum, with the help of The Epilepsy Foundation, for those affected by epilepsy and their carers (‘Building foundation for epilepsy help’, The Times 29/10/14).

An information session held at Patterson Lakes Community House in October was attended by “about 60 people”, according to Ms Summers.

As a result of the information session “about 25 people” registered to go to monthly FRESH - Frankston Region Epilepsy Support Group meetings - support meetings at St Francis Xavier Parish church in Frankston.

“The church has allowed us free access to their hall which is lovely,” Ms Summers said.

Before the Frankston epilepsy support group was established Sue and Rebekah travelled to Melbourne to attend The Epilepsy Foundation meetings. This journey could be stressful.

Monthly meetings in Frankston have been held since November and Sue invites anyone in the south east with experience of epilepsy to attend as often as they like.

“People have been bursting with things to talk about. They really want to connect with one another,” Ms Summers said.

“Maybe people who are diagnosed with this may often feel they have nowhere to go, particularly as the peninsula is a long way from The Epilepsy Foundation and its services.

“This group and their stories may highlight the need for more resources in this area, fill in some of the gaps for those that may feel left by the wayside and be a stepping stone for that process.” n FRESH monthly meetings will be hosted at St Francis Xavier Parish, 60 Davey St, Frankston on the second Saturday of each month, 1-3pm.

Call Sue Summers on 0407 509 519 or email mackscreek@optusnet.com.au for further information.

Scenarios test patient care A ‘PATIENT’ with severe chest pain and a medical history of cardiac disease tested the skills of staff at Frankston Hospital’s new emergency department last month.

‘Jan Stephenson’ – also known as Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams – joined staff in acting out a series of scenarios as part of a training exercise to prepare staff for the opening of the department and three wards.

“The purpose of the activity is to ensure a smooth transition into the new building, to practice the new model of health care and to give medical staff the opportunity to be the patient so

they can continue to provide personcentred care,” a hospital spokesperson said.

“Patients” in the scenarios were given roles to act out so that clinical staff could respond to them.

The scenario training was run by Peninsula Health staff and volunteers.

The new $81 million hospital wing including a new emergency department and three wards officially opened on 17 February.

Known as Frankston Stage 3, the new Building A includes a new emergency department, a coronary care unit and two general wards.

top of each other for protection.

“Even years later in his sleep he’d call out “They’re coming!”

“He suffered a lot and many men didn’t make it but he had a tiger’s spirit and pulled through.”

His war service was appreciated.

Mr Dyer was awarded the British War medal, 1914 Star, Victory Medal and Simpson and his Donkey Medal for his actions.

Mr Dyer Snr and wife Evelyn-Lily returned to Daylesford and raised 11 children – with Trevor the youngest

– while he worked on the lakes.

Years later he was later admitted to Heidelberg Rehabilitation Hospital where he died.

Trevor became a stable hand and apprentice jockey at Mentone stables in the early 1950s and rode professionally for 26 years. A highlight was winning the Caulfield Cup on Regal Wench in 1959 for trainer Bill Murrell – at 25:1.

He and Betty moved to Carrum Downs 25 years ago, with Trevor a builder and developer of houses at Kananook, South Frankston and

on the peninsula. He is a keen lawn bowler and golfer. Betty is a volunteer at McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park. Their house is named – fondly – as Regal Wench.

Now, as Trevor and Betty get ready for their trip of a lifetime they will have someone dear on their minds.

Standing in the early morning light on 25 April they’ll reflect on a headstone at Daylesford cemetery inscribed with the words: ‘At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them’.

IT’S time to bring out the dogs for Mt Eliza Rotary Club’s Bark in the Park Dog Expo to raise money for a rotunda at its park in Mt Eliza Way. The day of “entertainment and fun” for dogs and their owners will include displays and demonstrations, treats “for both pets and owners” and the opportunity for family fun.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb will open the event which will feature dancing and “fungility” demonstrations by Rally ‘O’ Mornington Obedience Dog Club and Peninsula Obedience Dog Club.

Competitions for dogs and their handlers include: Best Junior Handler; Best Golden Oldie (eight years or older); Most alike dog and owner; best trick; best dog hairstyle; longest dog tail; most mysterious heritage; gentle giant; best smile; shiest coat; most handsome dog; most appealing eyes; waggiest tail; best six legs (dog and owner); prettiest pooch; fluffiest tail; longest ears, best tiny tot; best rescue dog; and peoples’ choice.

Entry to Bark in the Park is free and entry to competitions is $5 for one; $10 for three; and $15 for five.

The expo will be held 10am-2pm Sunday 22 March at John Butler Reserve, Mt Eliza Way, Mt Eliza.

CARRUM Downs residents Trevor and Betty Dyer are among the lucky 8000 Australians to receive passes to attend the Anzac Day dawn service at Gallipoli next month.

The ceremony will be the highlight of a month-long holiday taking in Paris, Amsterdam, Rhine river cruise, Prague and then Istanbul. A nineday tour of Turkey will take them to Gallipoli and then home.

While on the battle field their thoughts will be with Trevor’s father – Frederick James Dyer, a corporal in the 4th Australian Light horse who fought and was wounded in bloody trench battles in the celebrated conflict.

“It is a big thing to go,” Trevor said.

“All those men fought and died for our freedom.”

Mr Dyer, snr, left Devon in England as a 17 year old to find a new life for himself in the colonies. He worked for a time as a farm hand in Western Australia before making his way to Melbourne.

In October 1914 he volunteered for action and, after training, arrived at Gallipoli just before the fateful events of April 1915.

“They had to shoot their horses because it was all trench warfare,” said Trevor, who lives in Burlorn Crt. “Dad was blown up and wounded and sent to hospital but seven months later he volunteered to go back into action.

WHAT’S NEW

How one family business, three dogs, 40 sheep and 60 chooks saved $10,000 a year on power.

“I even contacted the Energy Ombudsman in Victoria about the disappointing lack of service we were receiving.”

AFTER pursuing a hectic corporate lifestyle for many years, in 2003 Greg and Sue O’Donoghue decided to pack up their kids, Sam and Sophie, and move to the glorious wine-growing region of the Mornington Peninsula, one hour from Melbourne.

Here, they created Green Olive at Red Hill, a picture perfect 27-acre farm where they grow olives, grapes, herbs and veggies, raise sheep, chooks and ducks, and turn amazing produce from local farmers into a range of goodies everyone loves.

While the O’Donoghues are dedicated to creating food for the heart and soul, with the aim of being fully sustainable, they still face the same challenges as many businesses, when it comes to energy usage, consumption and cost.

After a bad experience with their previous energy supplier including a lack of customer service, billing inconsistencies and rising costs, Greg O’Donoghue contacted ERM Business Energy to see how they compared.

“We waited nine months for our previous retailer to get back to us with an answer about our power consumption with no response, so we decided to look elsewhere,” explained Greg.

“We shopped around with a few electricity providers, but ERM Business Energy were the best by a long shot.

We couldn’t have been happier with their response.”

Green Olive at Red Hill, which was named Winner of the Excellence in Food Tourism category at the 2014 Victorian Tourism Awards, requires a substantial amount of electricity to successfully operate the business.

“We have to power the cool rooms where the sheep are hung after butchering, run the commercial kitchen including the ovens and kettles to make jam and chutney, and operate the irrigation system for the olive grove and vegetable gardens, so it all adds up,” Greg explained.

Complacency can prove costly.

The prospect of having to switch power companies is often a deterrent for many businesses, however ERM Business Energy can help make the process quick and easy.

“Our ERM Account Manager did all the work for us, so switching was easy.

Now we know where we stand with our power bill every month. It’s always on time, it’s easy to understand and if I have any questions, I just shoot them an email and I get a prompt response, usually the same day,” said Greg.

ERM Business Energy encourages businesses to look at the bottom line, when comparing electricity charges.

Many retailers are seen to be offering big discounts, but in reality all that counts is how many cents per kilowatt hour businesses are paying.

“When we switched to ERM, we saved about $8,000 to $10,000 per year,” Greg said. “That made a big difference to our business.”

“And with ERM, we’re not locked in.

There’s the flexibility to leave whenever we want - although we’re 100% satisfied, so we’re not going anywhere!”

“I’d happily recommend ERM to any business looking for great service, simple billing and big savings.”

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 Times 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 Times.

“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

MOONAH LINKS

relationship, and meanwhile he was having sex with my partner. I feel traumatised and like a rape victim might.”

The man said he was “blown away by the dignity, compassion and understanding” being shown by male friends from Shiva Yoga who were “in the same boat, and in the face of this disgusting betrayal”.

A woman responding to the man’s letter said she was “one of the women” and had been “outraged and horrified when first approached for a sexual relationship”.

However, it had been “explained to me that what was happening was ‘a shakti thing’ and was simply the natural 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.”

Has anyone seen Aleesha?

POLICE are appealing for public help to find a teenage girl who went missing from her Frankston home last month.

Aleesha Kete, pictured, left on 27 February saying she was going to the city to visit friends.

The 13 year old told her family she would return the next Saturday night but has not been seen since. It is not known what clothing she was wearing when she disappeared.

Police have concerns for her welfare due to her age.

Aleesha is described as being of Maori appearance, slim build, olive complexion, long, wavy hair coloured pink and brown eyes.

Anyone who sees her should call triple zero.

War declared on beach ‘nurdles’ FRANKSTON’S Beach Patrol’s volunteer army has declared war on nurdles.

Every year thousands of tonnes of plastic rubbish is washed off Port Phillip’s beaches into the bay. Once in the water it breaks down into small particles that resemble coloured particles of sand and known as nurdles.

These nurdles will pollute the marine environment for generations to come, and given the constant litter that is left on our beaches, the problem is growing as a rapid rate – and that’s where Beach Patrol comes in.

With 15 groups already established on Port Phillip beaches from Williamstown to Rye, Beach Patrol has hundreds of volunteers cleaning rubbish off the beaches on a regular basis.

“In the past 12 months, Beach Patrol volunteers around the bay have collected almost 5000 kilograms of rubbish from the sand,” Frankston City mayor Sandra Mayer said.

“Our city has won numerous awards for the way residents work with council on environmental

programs, and it’s exciting we will soon have a Beach Patrol of our own, helping the work of our foreshore rangers.”

Anyone wanted to be an inaugural member of Frankston’s Beach Patrol can go to beachpatrol. com.au or attend the free screening of the movie Baykeepers at Frankston High School, 6pm, Tuesday 17 March.

The 26-minute film has received acclaim for capturing up-close the effects of plastic pollution and highlighting the work of those doing something about it.

Neil Blake, the original Beach Patrol member, will be special guest at the screening and will conduct a Q&A session at the end.

LETTERS Keep dog ban Despite having a lovely Labrador of my own, I cannot support the proposal to allow canines in the Frankston town centre. This is poor public policy, not because of the subject matter, but rather because the lack of need basis.

Why do we need this? Where did this really come from? Is it going to make Frankston a better place?

Policy development should have an impetus. This has none, except to seemingly placate a few people that want to have their canine by their side when they are sipping on lattes.

I don’t see how the amenity of the town centre improves because of the inclusion of canines. In fact, I believe it will conflict with the sense of wellbeing and safety that this council is presently attempting to instil in the town centre.

What about the undesirable element that we often see and encounter on Young St? Are you going to let these people bring their canines to our town centre and create even more problems? Many of them are hardly “responsible” members of society let alone responsible pet owners. And is Frankston Council prepared to take responsibility for the inevitable dogon-dog, dog-on-human and humanon-human conflicts that will arise as a result of such a policy reversal?

The Frankston town centre has a significant volume of human traffic.

Allowing canines within the town centre is simply a recipe for adverse exchanges.

In 2013 there were 224 recorded dog attacks recorded throughout the Frankston municipality. If you extrapolate this figure and apply it to a woefully confined area such as the Frankston town centre which thousands utilise daily, it is only deducible

that an increase in canine assaults will occur.

At a time where Frankston is attempting to attract the elderly and young families back to its streets, this strikes me as a precipitously thought out proposition with considerable implications. I encourage the council to focus on real problems in our town centre as opposed to trivial pursuits such as this one.

Kris Bolam, former Frankston mayor

Curb investors An interesting article in regards to Frankston and its problems (‘City’s reputation strains family relations’, The Times 2/3/15). As a resident of 38 years I have witnessed the demise of Frankston, mainly in the past five years.

Frankston Council talks a lot about fixing Frankston's reputation, but talk is cheap and easy.

Within a 500 metre radius of my home I have 57 Department of Human Services units and more being built right now. There are three boarding homes, a mental health service, numerous dirty run down rentals and five shops selling alcohol.

The city centre has six methadone clinics and a needle exchange.

The council is allowing houses to be knocked down and cheap units to be built, and low quality units in the heart of Frankston.

Frankston is touted as becoming a mental health and drug rehabilitation health hub. You can see the trend. It is becoming a massive half way house for the low socioeconomic, drug addicts and psychiatric patients.

Frankston has room for these people and I don't begrudge them an opportunity, but I am concerned at the concentration they are allowing.

If people are in a neighbourhood of

predominately DHS housing, how will they integrate and move away from old habits? What will happen is more and more long term residents will leave and the process of cheap units and DHS will continue to spread.

The future of Frankston is bleak unless council makes a stand and slows down the influx of investors who have no concern for the city, only their wallets, and a state government which eyes Frankston as a dumping ground.

Pete Baxter, Frankston

scientists. They are experts within their field and would never seek to delist an animal if it risked the species becoming endangered.

Given the standards for finding that a species should be declared as safe beyond reasonable doubt, I do not expect these conditions are likely to be met. I am passionate about conserving populations of the southern brown bandicoot in Victoria and across Australia.

Greg Hunt, MP for Flinders and Minister for Conservation

Independent review Short sighted I am writing in response to the article ‘Developers push for bandicoot delisting’ (The Times 23/2/15). The article claims that the assessment of the southern brown bandicoot by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (TSSC) is due to the influence of developers and in a quest to appease their interests.

This is simply untrue.

The TSSC is conducting an independent assessment as part of its normal process, not at my request. The assessment was triggered by findings in the Mammal Action Plan, published in 2012. This has nothing to do with any current or planned developments and is being conducted nationwide.

The article also claims that the southern brown bandicoot is one of just five species being reviewed. In fact, a total of 80 species are currently under review by the TSSC across Australia. This includes southern brown bandicoot populations in Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales. Thirteen species are due for review before the process commences for the southern brown bandicoot. The committee is due to report its findings on the status of the populations in March 2016.

The TSSC is an independent committee of eminent conservation

I was surprised at the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council vote last week that has no other purpose than to frustrate, delay or even prevent the development of the Arthurs Seat Skylift, any of which will come at a huge cost to ratepayers.

While I can understand some residents on the summit oppose this development, the reality is that a planning permit has been granted and council has been further instructed by VCAT (Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal) to issue that permit, albeit subject to numerous strict conditions.

The VCAT ruling was extensive, thorough and addressed all of the relevant issues in detail and this fact was not disputed by councillors during debate last Tuesday night. It was clear from the VCAT ruling that enough evidence was heard to deem that, for example, a bushfire emergency management plan was indeed attainable and VCAT so ordered such a plan be finalised before operations commenced (likely to be 12 months away) and certainly not within the current timeframe being demanded.

My concern is that this council decision, using bushfire safety among other things as a pretence, could be hijacked to become a simple ruse to

frustrate these VCAT orders.

Council will now be forced to line by line second guess the recommendations from experts such as DELWP, CFA, police, emergency management Victoria, as well as council’s own CEO and their own professional experts. While it “technically” has every right to do so, if councillors actually voted against a recommendation from these authorities, it is then clearly an unprecedented vote of no confidence in their authority and technical expertise.

It is a given that ratepayers would then be forced to foot the bill for the inevitable VCAT proceedings that followed.

While I have great respect for our councillors, I sincerely doubt they have the technical expertise to defend their decision if it is contrary to this level of expert advice. In fact, history demonstrates that councils have had very little success on similar matters coming before VCAT and I would be surprised if this had not been made clear to Cr Hugh Fraser before he rolled the dice and moved this motion which passed with the support of four other councillors.

The Arthurs Seat Skylift has always enjoyed bipartisan support at state and federal level because of its status as an historic attraction now providing access for the elderly, disabled and families with small children and of course, the direct and long term positive impact for the broader local economy.

I am mystified why council has chosen to politicise this development and create what can only be described as a sovereign risk for anyone contemplating investment in the future economic security and job opportunities of our wonderful Mornington Peninsula.

WHAT’S ON AT NEPTOURS

Auditions for collaborative dance theatre PERFORMERS Sofia GrageMoore and Leah Ferguson, 16, and Georgia Rollings, 23, are involved in an exciting new initiative called Loco Youth Dance Theatre.

They help make collaborative dance and theatre with other young people which, they say, is relevant, thought provoking and engaging.

The group is holding an audition workshop 5–8.30pm, Friday 20 March, at Cube 37, Frankston Arts Centre. Enthusiastic arts minded young people aged 15-25 are invited to work on a collaborative project with experienced dance and theatre makers from RAWcollective during terms 2 and 3 this year.

Thanks to Frankston Arts Centre’s Make ‘n’ Move program, funded by the federal government through the Council for the Arts, participation in this project is free with a small registration fee that covers apparel and insurance.

The audition workshop is an opportunity for young people to experience the process to see if they like it. It will include a contemporary dance class, choreographic processes and a drama workshop, including exploration into potential themes for new work to be created during a 14-week process from May to August. This work will then be presented in the Anywhere Theatre Festival at Frankston.

Mornington resident Ru Atma began Loco Youth Dance Theatre last year after a substantial career in contemporary dance in Europe and Australia. She is also the

“I feel so grateful to have the support of Frankston Arts Centre through the Make ‘n’ Move program,” she said. “There’s a great arts hub developing in Frankston and we are delighted to be part of it. We are really excited to build a youth performance company in the local area that encourages collaboration and communication about youth issues.”

Mt Eliza Secondary College Year 12 student Leah Ferguson said, “Strong positives for me about being involved in LYDT are the enablement of me as a young person and student to create, move and dance in an expressive way and to be invested in the creative side of the work.

This is an experience usually not available with other types of dance.

“I would strongly recommend other young people get

involved in LYDT because it’s a community which supports creativity in young people, providing a great form of exercise and an alternative creative outlet.”

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.

NEWS DESK

Cyclist clings to life after early morning collision Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au AN early morning bike ride on Friday 6 March has left a father of three young children fighting for his life.

Luke Matthews, 34, from Mount Eliza, was riding along Beleura Hill Road in 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 male, from Woodleigh Vale, has co-operated with police investigations.

Mr Matthews, who works for ANZ Bank, moved to Mt Eliza from Mentone in 2008 for the open space that Mount Eliza offered.

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, includ-

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

ing the removal of part of his skull to relieve swelling on his brain,” said Ms Beach.

“To make matters worse, on Friday a serious chest infection set in, which is a side-effect of having the breathing tube in”.

The prognosis is poor for Mr Matthews, with family and friends being told he only has a 50 percent 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 lifetime 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.”

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.

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.

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.

Golf a game for life... start as soon as you can THE golfing environment has changed. Golf needs to attract new players especially from a grass-roots level to adapt to modern day societal needs.

Our program caters for junior golfers of a range of abilities with progressive skill levels designed to engage their learning and enjoyment of the game.

Anyone who has learnt golf as a child understands that golf tuition can be repetitive and boring. Teaching junior golfers is a lot different to teaching adults. Attention spans are different and for some children, they are learning new locomotive skills and movement patterns for the first time – so it important to teach them those skills to aid golf movements.

Cenenary Park incorporates a number of game based activities to into our junior tuition. The games are designed to aid the learning of each particular golf skill or movement designated for each session. The most important part of our program is that each child is having fun learning and playing golf. Golf is a game for life that you can play anywhere and with anyone.

In the second school term this year, Centenary Park will be introducing a new colour code development program for Junior Golf. This program will work just like a karate belt system, where children will be able to graduate to a new colour belt once they retain learnt concepts and skills.

The coloured belts will be rewarded in the form of a silicone wrist band. Wrist bands are popular among today’s youth, high profile sports people and supporters of charitable efforts. However our

bands will be unlike any other as they cannot be bought – only earned!

There will be five belt colours to be achieved. Starting at the grass roots level we have three belts: Red, Orange and Blue. These belt levels are all about learning FUN-damental skills required for hitting, putting, chipping, pitching and splashing the ball. These

levels will also include basic etiquette for playing on-course such as where to stand, how to enter a bunker, how to rake a bunker and how to fix a pitch mark just to name a few.

Our last two belt levels: Purple and Black. These to levels will involve tuition of advanced skill sets as well as the skills for playing competitive

golf such as how to mark a score card for different competition formats and course management skills.

Centenary Park will be also offering school holiday programs. If you would like to be informed of such programs, please provide us with contact details so we can keep you in the loop!

We encourage your child to embrace the journey of our program and look forward to watching their personal development not only as golfers but as fantastic young people.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The orchestra: life’s ultimate utensil

By Stuart McCullough WE’VE all seen the adverts – jarring visuals and startling music combined with a voice-over that’s as close to hysteria as is possible without actually exploding. Easy to clean! Removes unwanted stains! (As though there’s any other kind.) Turns a sandwich into a banquet!

The problem with these commercials is that when the product is ultimately unveiled, it’s impossible to be anything but underwhelmed. Usually, the device is little more than a plastic lump with a metal attachment, resembling the results of an appendectomy if performed on a washing machine.

Plastic surgical offcuts are seldom much use. There’s only one thing that can truly do everything.

When most people think of an orchestra, they either think of an uptight bunch of classical musicians existing in the rarefied world of classical music or, possibly, the words “Electric Light”. But an orchestra is so much more than just a 100-person cover band churning out the greatest hits of Beethoven and Mahler.

Better than anything, orchestras set the mood. Forget candles or incense; if you really want to control the emotional temperature, music is the way to go. And when it comes to the heavy artillery, nothing packs as much punch as an orchestra. That’s why almost every film you’ve ever seen relies on an orchestra to pull emotional strings.

Let me be the first to say I love the Oscars. They’re cheesy and, to borrow from David Niven, succeed in squeezing two hours of entertainment

into four hours. But more than set the mood, the Oscars let an orchestra display its versatility. Besides giving the occasion a sense of gravitas, the orchestra is an indispensible tool for getting people to shut up.

Often, an actor, actress or, more horrifyingly, one of the guys from the special effects team will win an award and mistake it as an invitation

to thank everyone they’ve ever met by name or, worse still, attempt to tell their life story. As the entire viewing audience starts to turn rigid with fear, the orchestra cuts in and brings proceedings to a merciful end. There should be more of it. Who among us hasn’t wished for an orchestra to cut off someone mid-sentence?

Last week I was at a conference. It

included a panel discussion moderated by a man who, perhaps thinking he had just won the award for best sound editing, took it as an opportunity to tell his life story and not allow the panel members to get a word in edgewise.

Even when it was pointed out that he had used up all the allotted time and the next session was now delayed, he continued.

It is difficult to convey how awful it was and I began to lament that lightning strikes are almost unheard of indoors as I wished for any calamity that would shut this turkey up. If only there had been an orchestra on hand.

But more than just the ultimate silencer, there’s so much more a fully functioning orchestra can do.

For years, local councils have used classical music to deter young people from hanging around train stations and shopping malls. To be fair, such locations are logical places for young people to lurk, particularly if they want to catch a train or buy something.

But imagine how much more effective such programs would be if, instead of a compact disc, an entire symphony orchestra was squeezed in between platform two and the kiosk?

Rather than drive young people away, it would give them a chance to pro­ perly appreciate the awesome mindblowing power of classical music.

Local hoodlums could develop a passion for Rachmaninov. That said, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring is more likely to encourage anti-social behaviour than curb it, having nearly caused a riot when it premiered in 1913.

For myself, although I’ve been in

lots of bands, I was only ever in one orchestra and, even then, for a very brief time.

In high school, I studied percussion.

Inspired either by Tito Puente or, possibly, Sheila E, I turned up for two lessons before my teacher decided it was time for me to join the school orchestra. Right from the outset, I could tell I was different from the other 70 members of the group. For starters, the others were able to play their instruments with a degree of proficiency. To make things worse, the other members of the orchestra had practised their parts; something I considered unnecessary.

As the music started, everyone else paid a great deal of attention to their sheet music. In contrast, I decided to improvise. And while I hoped that my contribution would be lost in the cacophony, this was unlikely given that I was playing the drums. Indeed, as I flailed like a Muppet, it became obvious that I was playing as though I was in a different band, if not performing a different piece of music.

The conductor was aghast and 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

THE WAIFS HEAD TO MORNINGTON

By Cameron McCullough THE Waifs will be bringing their beloved mix of folk, blues and rock sounds - playing their classic tracks with trademark storytelling skill - to The Peninsula Picnic on Sunday 29 March.

From a journey that began in 1992, with two sisters and a friend travelling in a van playing gigs for anyone and anywhere, to half a million record sales locally and multiple ARIA awards, The Waifs have plenty of tales to tell through their music - and storytelling they do well their trademark honesty, passion and humour shines through their musical offerings, attracting legions of fiercely loyal fans.

Sisters Vikki Thorn and Donna Simpson deliver their stories with the help of Josh Cunningham on guitar, who they met by chance in Broome way back when. The trio are often joined by the rhythm section of David Macdonald on drums and Ben Franz on bass.

Reuniting for select shows across the summer The Waifs will be bringing their beloved mix of folk, blues and rock sounds, playing their classic tracks.

The Waifs have had have three top fifty singles, London Still (2002), Bridal Train (2004) and Sun Dirt Water (2007). The band supported Bob Dylan on his 2003 Australian tour and then his North American tour that year.

Catering for a cultured musical palate, The Peninsula Picnic has handpicked some of Australia’s best live acts and up-and-coming artists.

Something for Kate’s Paul Dempsey will be performing his new solo material for a unique and unmissable treat.

Starting out as street buskers, the Pierce Brothers will showcase their energetic and exceptional stage presence that has seen

them recognised as one of the country’s most exciting young acts.

The intoxicatingly romantic folk of Tinpan Orange and the lush sounds of electronic-folk musician Hayden Calnin complete the perfect soundtrack to this event.

The Peninsula Picnic is the most extensive food, wine and music gathering ever created

on the Mornington Peninsula, showcasing the very best chefs, resident restaurants, expert vignerons and vineyards.

Discover the hidden gems from the region’s leading producers, growers, orchardists and gourmet storeowners set to the serene soundtrack of some of Australia’s finest live music acts. As lyrics from London Still say: “If I

ever come home, and I think I will. I hope your gonna wanna hang at my place on Sunday still”.

Well, that Sunday has come, and it is Sunday 29 March and the place is Peninsula Picnic.. www.peninsulapicnic.com.au

FOR ROSE ABOUT TO ROCK

By Simon Mills Dirty Deeds, the world’s longest running AC/ DC Tribute Show is getting ready to ROCK the Rosebud Hotel on Easter Saturday 4 April.

Formed in 1990 and currently on their 25th Anniversary Tour, Dirty Deeds still features original lead singer Alfi Rocker and has undeniably earned their reputation as one of Australia’s best tribute bands and the closest thing to a real AC/DC concert.

Originally formed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the late, great AC/DC singer Bon Scott in 1990, things went even better than expected for Dirty Deeds as one show after another was added to the schedule and before long they became one of the biggest drawcards of the Melbourne pub-rock scene, performing to large audiences everywhere.

Headlining events in major towns and venues throughout Victoria, Alfi and the boys racked up large outdoor concerts such as Broadford, The Phillip Island Moto GP and the Shepparton Custom Bike & Hotrod Show to name just a few.

Interstate and overseas requests for the band are common and in October 2010 the first South Australian dates were booked and Dirty Deeds delivered ROCK. At an outdoor concert in Tasmania Dirty Deeds were honoured by Australian Rock legend, Angry Anderson joining Alfi Rocker on stage together belting out the Rose Tattoo classics Bad Boy For Love and Rock & Roll Outlaw.

Entering a new era, Dirty Deeds opened a new chapter when expanding their set list to include Brian Johnson classics such as Hells Bells, You Shook Me All Night Long and of course the mighty Thunderstruck.

Year after year, show after show, Dirty Deeds keep on delivering the high voltage rock ’n’ roll of Australia’s greatest, and the world’s most successful rock band - AC/DC.

Down to the wire PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully THE MPCA Provincial grand final will go into a third day after a dramatic opening two days.

There were 17 wickets fall on the opening day, however, with 10 overs left on Sunday, the game was back in the balance.

Sorrento won the toss and elected to bat. They lasted 30.3 overs.

Thankfully, skipper Nick Jewell was able to offer a little resistance, making 26 of his side’s first innings total of 51.

The equal second highest score was ‘Extras’, along with Corey Harris, who also made seven.

There were three Sorrento players removed for ducks, including Anthony Blackwell and Leigh Poholke, while two players were sent packing for just one.

However, despite top scoring for his side, the opposition supporters again showed enormous disrespect towards Jewell when he was eventually bowled

by Chamika Sattambi.

Jewell is a star of Victorian cricket, Frankston-Peninsula cricket and the MPCA. It’s disgraceful that supporters would treat him in that way.

Baxter skipped Daniel Warwick and his teammates should be proud of themselves for trying to stop the supporters giving Jewell a ‘send-off’.

Again, disrespect was shown when the supporters, wearing Baxter tops, told their leaders where to go.

It ruined what was almost a perfect day for Baxter.

Dale Irving was just sensational for Baxter with 5/11 from 10 overs, while Sattambi was equally as impressive with 4/7 off 6.3 overs.

Defending the pathetic total, Sorrento needed to produce something special with the ball.

Enter Blackwell, who removed Shane McComb for five, Warwick for a duck and Joe Rule for a duck.

AJ King removed Daniel Lanati and all of a sudden Baxter was in a world of pain at 4/20.

However, Ben Smith and Dale Irving regained the ascendancy for the underdogs with 49 and 24 respectively.

There was still to be another twist and turn.

Cruising at 4/83, Sorrento removed Smith and Irving and all of a sudden Baxter had slumped again to 6/88.

After 45 overs on the first day, Baxter finished at 6/104.

Sorrento needed quick wickets on Sunday and they got what they needed, removing the last four batsmen for just two runs.

Sorrento began its second innings trailing by 57.

The Sorras lost their first two wickets for 15 runs and were looking down the barrel of another collapse, however, Jewell and Corey Harris took control.

However, with little more than 10 overs left in the day, Harris was removed by Sattambi.

The score was 3/124, a lead of 67.

There are 75 overs to play this Saturday to determine the winner. There’s plenty of cricket left in this one.

Eagles fly DISTRICT

By IT Gully SOMERVILLE will play in Provincial grade next season after beating Red Hill in the District Grand Final.

The District grand final is the only First XI grand final that did not need to go into a third day.

In a match that did have its twists and turns, Somerville did end-up cruising to victory after suffering some mid-innings trouble.

Red Hill, the benchmark all season, won the toss and elected to bat. The Hillmen lost their first three wickets for 31 before Matt Merrifield and Simon Dart were joined together at the crease. The big breakthrough came for the Eagles when Matty Roach had Dart trapped leg before for 22.

Andrew Mock and Luke Toy ensured there was some wag in the tail with 21 and 32 respectively, while Merrifield finished with 40. Aaron Kaddatz has been superb this season for the Eagles and he finished with three wickets, while Roach ended up with four.

Somerville cruised at the start of the second day and were 0/83. However, the Hillmen hit back and snared the next five wickets for just 40 runs.

Somerville had gone from 0/83 to 5/120 and Red Hill was back in the game. Enter Daniel Keulen and Brenton Alp, who enjoyed a 100-run partnership and in doing so, handed Somerville the premiership.

The Eagles slipped to 7/203 and 8/209 in 70 overs, however, they had already won the match.

With six overs left to play on Sunday, Red Hill was yet to concede.

Buds in command against Pearcedale SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully ROSEBUD was looking at a promotion to District ranks after having Pearcedale in real trouble late in the second day of their Grand Final.

The Buds batted slowly for their 6/130 off 76 overs on the opening day after winning the toss.

Rosebud was in some early trouble at 3/36, however, Pat Cashin, Kane Donald and Brad Glenn took control of the innings.

A hamstring injury to semi-final star Shayne Gillings didn’t help Pearcedale’s cause.

He bowled just 10.2 overs and had figures of 2/9 when he was injured.

This allowed the Buds to gain control, which they did.

Cashin (24) and Donald (26) were late wickets and Pearcedale got a real sniff when Jake Millar lost his wicket for a duck.

The Buds finished the opening day at 6/106.

Rosebud batted for a number of overs on day two (Sunday) and were eventually bowled out for 152.

Chris Dew and Adrian Ridout were the wicket takers in Gillings’ absence.

Late on the day on Sunday, Pearcedale was in a fair amount of trouble at 7/81.

A lot of the hopes were on Max Blackburn, who was not out on 32.

BACK VIEW

PRECISION FITTING CENTRE

One of the biggest handicaps that most golfers have is ill-fitted equipment. Industry surveys show that over 95% of golfers are playing with clubs that do not fit them. Golf clubs are like shoes if your shoes don’t fit your game will suffer.

At the Precision Fitting Centre we specialize in fitting clubs to match each golfers unique specifications.

Gift

Vouchers Available

OUR EXPERT FITTING PROCESS INVOLVES THE FOLLOWING:

The main bend is from the hips, the spine is up and over, the head is up and on the angle of the spine. The knees are unlocked but not bent. Bending the knees excessively will hunch the spine and bury the head understanding this angle is imperative .The angles of the arms and wrists at address are relaxed and just hanging with a slight forward press.

FRONT VIEW

This is an impact position .You will notice the left side of the body is in a straight line. There is a slight angle in the right side of the body .This is mostly for the right hand goes on lower than the left (for Right hand golfers) .Setting up into your side or against the wall ,with angle or tuck in your right side is also called into yourself.

As seen above it looks like and is sometimes described as reverse K. Your right side needs to be lower than left and the posture correct from behind to achieve this position which is the basic shape for all and propelling motion not just golf. Consequently with this set up (below) with the hands and arms back you will lose distance and power.

• Evaluation of current clubs • Evaluation of strengths, weaknesses and playing goals • Dynamic fitting analysis using the latest in launch monitor equipment and fitting systems • Expert advice on final set make up It is an interactive and educational process that will explain the technicalities of why one club will work when another wont.
