Emerging stars shine in performing arts program SOME of the peninsula’s most talented young performers will finish their first term at high school next week full of inspiration.

The 25 members of the group sang, danced and acted their way through one of the biggest transitions in a teenager’s life as part of the first intake of Rosebud Secondary College’s new performing arts program. “The things that many people fear – being on stage performing, having the world watching them – give these students a buzz and we are thrilled to offer a unique program which hones their skills, techniques and talents in music, dance and drama,� the college’s performing arts department head Geoff Jones said. “The students have the added advantage of being able to access to the commercial-quality theatre facilities offered by the Southern Peninsula Arts Centre, which is on-campus.�

The young musicians, actors and dancers in the performing arts program successfully applied and auditioned for their place late last year. “Because we all have common interests, like theatre shows and music, we have all become really good friends,� student Lizzy Faulkner said. “Some of us are even thinking about forming a punk band. “We get extra in classes in the things that we like, which is really fun,� Jami Brydson said. “Being in the performing arts class has definitely made starting high school a lot easier.�

Clock runs on Skylift permit Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SHIRE councillors last week voted to deal with the Arthurs Seat Skylift gondola permit conditions rather than leave it to shire officers.

But they have a tough task to deal with the job by the end of this week when a 30-day “planning clock� rings.

Mornington Peninsula Shire council-

lors narrowly approved the $18 million Skylift gondola project mid-2014 and their approval was confirmed by the planning tribunal late last year when it rejected objections from community lobby group Save Our Seat.

The VCAT sent the project back to council for it to work through and approve 71 conditions set by VCAT including about 20 that involve other agencies such as VicRoads and Parks

Victoria. There are more than 100 elements in the 71 conditions and they must be approved within 30 days or Skylift can return to the tribunal.

The “planning clock� is running after Skylift submitted revised plans for the top and bottom lift stations to the shire on 19 February.

Skylift head Simon McKeon has confirmed the consortium had already put out tenders for the two buildings.

On Friday, Nepean MP Martin Dixon in a letter to the editor criticised the council for taking the approval process away from shire officers, claiming it had been done for “no other purpose than to frustrate, delay or even prevent the development of the Arthurs Seat Skylift�. “While I can understand some residents on the summit oppose this development, the reality is that a planning permit has been granted and council have

[sic] been further instructed by VCAT to issue that permit, albeit subject to numerous strict conditions,� he said.

He said the VCAT ruling was “extensive, thorough and addressed all of the relevant issues in detail�.

Mr Dixon said he doubted councillors had “the technical expertise to defend their decision if it is contrary to this level of expert advice�.

Southern Peninsula News 17 March 2015

Jobs go in shire shake-up Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s new CEO Carl Cowie has started retrenching staff.

The first of several axes fell last Friday, the 13th, when 17 people lost their jobs. It is understood more people will go this Friday.

The job losses come after a threemonth review of the entire shire operations by Mr Cowie and his senior executives.

The shire’s four directors were called to meetings with the CEO on Friday 6 March to be told the fate of their departments.

The shire has about 1000 full-time equivalent staff.

The News understands that some directors, managers and middle management staff are among those to lose their jobs in the shake-up. Departments to lose staff include infrastructure, engineering, governance, corporate support, IT, recreation, tourism, economic

development, and social welfare.

The axe is expected to fall in the planning department this week.

Mr Cowie was appointed in late November to replace long-time CEO Michael Kennedy, who unexpectedly left the shire mid-November after almost 16 years. He had just been told by councillors his names was not on the short list of candidates when his job was advertised for the first time since his appointment in 1999.

Mr Cowie is the third CEO of the su-

per shire created by forced amalgamation almost 20 years ago. He follows Warwick Dilley (1995-99) and Dr Kennedy (1999-2014).

Last year, the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said councillors were “looking forward to introducing Carl to the Mornington Peninsula community. He will bring a fresh perspective to the leadership role”.

Cr Colomb said Mr Cowie “is an internationally experienced senior executive leader, who has used his finance background to lead significant

business turnarounds”.

“Through strong personal management, his philosophy is one of a ‘hands-on’ approach to building high performance teams and executing a clear business strategy.”

Mr Cowie holds qualifications in economics, finance, an MBA from Monash Mt Eliza Business School, and studied at Harvard’s School of Public Health in Boston. He is a qualified accountant and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Beach patrol in for the long haul RYE Beach Patrol 3941 members will meet on the first Saturday of each month to clean beaches and record the weight and type of rubbish they collect.

About 30 people signed up to join the group at its registration day in the car park of the Rye Yacht Club on 15 February and there are now 47 members after only two sessions.

A Facebook page and a website are invaluable publicity tools.

The Rye group - the first on the peninsula - aims to protect marine life by removing debris from bay beaches and foreshore areas and to raise awareness among residents and visitors about why it is important to keep beaches clean.

Shire team leader renewable resources, Jessica Wingad, who helped set up the Rye group, said members were welcome to don the t-shirt and gloves and clean beaches on their own, as families or in a group.

“The beauty of working as a group is that members have moral support and camaraderie,” she said.

“Members record the type of waste they collect on what date and send in the list so that we can compile a big picture of rubbish found.

“Then we can concentrate on specific waste – such as cigarette butts – in a targeted campaign.”

Artist and local home owner Julie Jame got together with Rye Foreshore Advisory Committee chair Mechelle Cheers - and Ms Wingad - to get the clean-up wheels turning. She said she had always picked up rubbish at the beach and encouraged her family to do so, too, so the move seemed logical.

“I can’t deal with all the problems in the world but I can deal with some-

College knife scare DROMANA Secondary College staff enforced emergency procedures on Friday when a student became “emotionally upset” and allegedly produced a knife.

Principal Alan Marr confirmed the Year 10 student “entered a state of heightened anxiety” at about 2.30pm prompting staff to order all students to their classrooms. The student’s parents were called and police from Rye and Rosebud attended. There were no injuries.

Rye police and members of the Pacer unit – who assist with mental health incidents – accompanied the student to Frankston hospital. “[The incident] ended really well,” Mr Marr said. “I am terribly proud of the actions of our staff and students.”

Injuries after brawl A DROMANA girl has been charged with intentionally causing injury after a street fight in Mt Martha late on Saturday 7 March. She has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 9 April.

Detective Sergeant Peter Drake, of Mornington police, said a group of youths aged 14-17 was walking along McGregor Ave around 11pm when they encountered the girl, 17, and another male. A brawl erupted and the girl allegedly struck two of the youths with an iron bar.

Cleaner world: Julie Jame, Jessica Wingad and Mechelle Cheers on the Rye foreshore near the yacht club.

thing at my feet,” she said.

She spoke to the council asking for support in starting the group and got a positive response – especially from Ms Wingad. “We met for coffee and it took about two seconds to join the Beach Patrol,” she said.

“I then designed a t-shirt with the logo featuring King Neptune picking

up rubbish with his trident and we were away.”

Day trippers dropping rubbish in bushes are the biggest problem, she says, as is an attitude preventing some people from picking up other people’s rubbish. “People think litter is not their problem but I say: ‘It’s our world, do we want to rubbish it?’”

Channel dredged

The shire donated seed funding to get the group started, and welcomes the formation of other peninsula groups. It provides t-shirts and gloves to members.

The next scheduled clean-up at Rye is Saturday 5 April. New members are welcome to join.

THE channel to Rye boat ramp is being dredged and widened over the next two weeks. Sand taken from the channel will be used to replenish nearby beaches.

The work is aimed at lessening the risk to boats caused by the build up of sand, which has also reduced the useable width of the access channel.

Clock running for Skylift Continued from Page 1 Mr Dixon said the council “will now be forced to line by line second-guess the recommendations from experts such as DELWP [Department of Environment, Land Water and Planning], CFA, police, Emergency Management Victoria as well council’s own CEO [Carl Cowie] and their own professional experts”.

At the council meeting, Nepean Ward councillor Hugh Fraser said the council had a duty to ensure the plans that went to VCAT were not materially different to the ones submitted to the council.

He said plans for protection of heritage, vegetation and landscape, fire safety, conservation and environment, waste management, emergency management and others should be approved by councillors.

Asked about Mr Dixon’s comments, he told The News: “All the matters raised by Martin [Dixon] were debated in public in the chamber at the council meeting on Tuesday and dealt with in the course of debate. VCAT has requested council to deal with the secondary consents and the extensive plans, which the VCAT conditions require to be provided to council.

“The matters that these plans deal with are vital to the amenity and safety of residents and those who will use the gondola. The public interest requires that these important matters will be dealt with by council in an open, transparent and democratic manner and with the urgency and importance required by the conditions.”  Nepean MP Martin Dixon’s letter to the editor is on Page 14.

Picture: Andrew Mackinnon

Sorrento hotel on market for $15m SORRENTO’S historic hotel the Continental is on the market for the first time in almost 20 years.

The Di Pietro family, who bought the hotel on Ocean Beach Rd in 1996, is hoping for $15 million.

The hotel, known far and wide as the Conti, was built in 1875 by the “Father of Sorrento” George Coppin, and is the only four-storey limestone structure in the southern hemisphere.

It has had just eight owners in 140 years.

Southern Peninsula News 17 March 2015

The Conti is on 3580 square metres and is being offered by Sothebys International in conjunction with CBRE. It cost £14,000 to build and was sold

by Coppin in 1890 to Isaac Edward Bensilum for £6000. Other owners or licensees have included T E Hawkins (1913-21), L Fitzgerald (1921-23), L De Vine (1923-53) and N and G Fernhead (1953-60).

George Selth Coppin (1819-1906) led an itinerant life, following his

father’s footsteps into the theatre.

Leaving England for a new life in 1842, the Coppins landed in Sydney, beginning a long sequence of entrepreneurial schemes: making money, losing it and starting again.

Coppin lived and worked in Hobart, Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong and Sorrento where in the 1870s he saw potential for development.

He brought businessmen from Melbourne in a paddlesteamer, later building the Continental,

encouraging holidaymakers to the southern end of Port Phillip in his own paddlesteamers. He lost serious money building a private tramway at Sorrento but is credited with creating the town as a premier holiday resort.

In April 1905, Coppin celebrated his 88th birthday at his Sorrento home Anchorage, but following illness returned to Richmond where he died the following year.

Long journey to make road safer HOW hard is it to get a bit of paint on Point Nepean Rd in Dromana to create a halfway refuge for pedestrians crossing the busy road in warmer months?

Very hard judging by the experience of long-time Dromana resident and Dromana foreshore committee of management member Rob Tannahill.

Mr Tannahill suggested a pedestrian refuge more than a decade ago and has experienced the classic problems of dealing with politicians and bureaucrats.

“I live near the corner of Codrington and Hodgkinson streets near the Old Shire Offices, now a tourist information centre, and have watched countless people struggling to cross the road, especially the elderly,” he said.

Parking has always been at a premium on Dromana foreshore and many people use Soldiers Memorial Park in the triangle bounded by Codrington and Permien streets to park their cars before attempting to cross the busy road. Others come for a picnic or some tourism information before heading for the beach.

“Since 2005, together with others, I been writing to our local MP, Martin Dixon, as well as the Minister for Roads, and VicRoads requesting a pedestrian refuge or similar aid for pedestrians outside the Old Shire Offices to ease the danger of crossing the road,” he said.

“After many letters, I finally received a reply from VicRoads acknowledging the need for a refuge and enclosing its proposed plan for same.

That was in September 2011.

“Several letters later there was still no action so in May 2014, with a state election in the wind, I again wrote and this time sent a copy to Labor MP

No easy task: Crossing Point Nepean Rd in Dromana during the tourism season can be difficult for less agile pedestrians.

Picture: Yanni

Luke Donnellan, who was then Shadow Minister for Road Safety.

“I received a very nice reply, including a traffic count, agreeing with the need for a refuge and saying he would be calling on the government to explain why there had been such a long delay.”

Mr Tannahill was hopeful but didn’t hold his breath – luckily.

“When Labor won the election late 2014 and Mr Donnellan became Minister for Road Safety, I jumped at the opportunity to remind him of his com-

ments and hoped he would have action taken but, no, all I got was a phone call from his office stating they had looked into the matter and it would cost $200,000 to paint the lines, etc and this sort of money was not available.

“When I told him the previous government and VicRoads had said it would be about $45,000, he said their costings were wrong.”

Mr Tannahill said more than 10,000 vehicles a day pass the spot, including more than 800 commercial vehicles.

“All that is needed is a refuge about

two metres wide and eight metres long. Refuges have been installed at Safety Beach and Mt Martha.”

He said pedestrian lights had been proposed near the boat ramp further west. They had been costed at $175,000.

“So here we are, many years down the track, and still no action of any nature and people still standing in the middle of the road on busy days with cars shooting either side of them.”

‘Yowie’ a box office fright THREE young female staff on duty at Rosebud cinema on Monday 2 March locked themselves in a storeroom in fright when a man dressed in a ‘yowie’ outfit menaced them.

Sergeant Danny Lean, of Rosebud police, said the women were “quite upset and traumatised by the incident” at 9.48pm.

The man and another man stood behind pillars outside the cinema with one dressed in the full camouflage outfit and the other man in dark jeans, dark hoodie and runners.

Sergeant Lean said the men appeared to be “checking out what was occurring inside”. He said the man in costume then entered the cinema, walked quickly along the carpet towards the ticket entry, and “ran at the staff counter near the candy bar”.

“He then ran around in a large circle in a menacing manner, ran at the counter again and then slid down onto his hands and knees and crawled along the floor and hid behind a display, possibly waiting for staff to come back out.”

Cinema management said the women were still “very shaken by the incident” the next day.

Sergeant Lean said while the man in the costume was “harassing and putting the staff in fear”, the second man remained outside appearing to film or video what was occurring on his mobile telephone.

After a few minutes the yowie man left the cinema, linked up with the other man and they walked off west along Wannaeue Place.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident.

Gambling body refuses extra pokies Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au STELLA’S Dromana Hotel has failed to win approval for nine extra poker machines to add to its existing 41 pokies.

The application was refused last week by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation.

The news came hot on the heels of an application by Mornington on Tanti Hotel seeking 17 pokies to take its total from 23 to 40.

The Peninsula Club in Dromana, formerly Dromana-Red Hill RSL, won approval for 15 pokies last year. It had

wanted 18 machines but a compromise was reached that saw the club make a large cash payment to a community group. It now has 35 pokies.

The commission stated that “many of the impacts identified as a result of this [Dromana] application are marginal (both positive and negative), reflecting the small number of requested EGMs [poker machines] and the small estimated increase in gaming expenditure”.

“Despite this, the no net detriment test is still to be applied and, if the balance is considered negative, the application must be refused.

“The commission notes that in many

cases of marginal social and economic impacts, the commission can take comfort in the demonstrated understanding and commitment to responsible gambling practices on the part of the venue operator to mitigate the marginal increase in the detrimental impacts.

“However, after consideration of all the evidence presented in this matter, the commission cannot be satisfied that this is the case in this application.

Therefore the commission is not satisfied that the net economic and social impact of the amendment will not be detrimental to the well-being of the community, including the immediately

surrounding area or the wider area of the Mornington Peninsula Shire.”

At last week’s Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting, councillors were told Mornington on Tanti had offered to cut its application by two poker machines and give $50,000 to a community fund.

Cr Antonella Celi said she wanted the council to “maintain its commitment to opposing an increase of EGMs and for the VCGLR to strongly consider the net socio-economic impact on vulnerable communities on the peninsula”.

“The council will be reviewing its gaming policy ... and seek to further

strengthen the policy position particularly in the context of social and economic impact assessments and land use planning policies relating to electronic gaming machines on the peninsula,” she said.

Last year a report to councillors stated the VCGLR had capped the number of poker machines in the municipality at 1127. It has more than 825 pokies at 17 venues.

Shire officers admitted the council’s 2001 responsible gaming strategy was out of date, as was a gaming policy framework prepared in 2007 for southeast region councils.

Strategies to end family violence PREVENTING family violence across the Mornington Peninsula is something the shire is determined to achieve.

It has formally committed to the task and is developing a three-year prevention implementation plan as part of a broader Community Harm Prevention Strategy.

The statement of commitment for the prevention of family violence was endorsed by the council at its meeting on 24 November.

The mayor Bev Colomb said the statement reaffirmed a broader commitment to the prevention of family violence and built on existing work in support of the shire’s Health and Wellbeing Plan 2013-2017 to raise awareness.

“Local government has an important role to play in fostering safe and healthy communities,” she said.

“The shire is committed to promoting a culture of community harmony, wellbeing and a sense of safety and belonging. It is well positioned to take a leadership role on this important community issue, and will continue to collaborate with the Peninsula Model, the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Network, Victoria Police, advocates and our community.

“This will progress work in the area of family violence prevention and foster an environment where we can all make a difference.”

Cr Colomb said the statement outlined that the shire will enable and promote:  The shire as a safe place and act to eliminate violence in all its forms;  Relationships between all members of the community are respectful and promote the rights of men, women

Committed to a cause: Family violence campaigner Rosie Batty, the mayor Bev Colomb and Senior Sergeant Dean Clinton, of Frankston police, with the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s statement of commitment for the prevention of family violence.

and children to live free from violence;  That women, men and children have the opportunity to participate equally in all spheres of public and private life without fear or discrimination. Increase awareness of family violence as a key social and health issue.

The implementation plan will provide a framework for the shire to work in partnership with relevant support agencies to assist in the prevention of family violence.

Yachties embark on ‘next major journey’ Steven Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WORK is well advanced on Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron’s clubhouse redevelopment and harbour extension.

About $20 million is being spent on the 15 month project which general manager Amanda Jacobs said was the “next major journey” in the club’s 62-year history.

“It will have world class facilities but still be a family friendly club,” she said.

“We will still have all our traditions, such as the Minnows on the beach, and the kids will still find places on the lawn.”

This is a far cry from the club’s humble beginnings in 1952: The first clubhouse was a tin shed three metres by 12 metres with no water, no electricity and a sandy floor – the original Scotts’ Shed.

The old slipway, jetty and boat shed was owned by Louisa and Bert Scott, the owners of Blairgowrie House, then an operating guest house.

The need for a “proper” clubhouse was first raised at the 1953 annual meeting, and a building fund had raised £277 by mid-1956.

Approval was given for an extra 60 metres of land on which to build “club premises to provide suitable accommodation for the members of the club and their guests,” according to member Edgar French’s book: The Miracle at Scotts’ Shed.

That led to the building of the 1957 clubhouse, which has now been demolished to make way for the grand 2015 revamp which will make the

1400-member club a home-base for visiting boaties.

Last Thursday 72 of the 190 steel piles had been delivered for the breakwater with six metre wide jetty and extension of the seawall. Heavy duty construction equipment had been set up on site and cranes were doing the heavy lifting.

This part of the job is expected to be finished by November with members

hoping to take part in the traditional Boxing Day Dash and the Petersville Regatta. Many of these participants will continue on to race in the Melbourne-to-Hobart and Melbourneto-Devonport series.

Included in the works are an extra 109 wet berths and 47 upgraded visitor marina berths, extension of the wave wall to the west, removal of the existing wave attenuator, replace-

ment of the slipway, winch house and gantry crane with travel lift infrastructure and a new hard standing area for boats.

“Our aim is to make the club the boating destination for the Mornington Peninsula,” Ms Jacobs said.

“Boaties can berth in the marina overnight and use the club’s facilities, such as the bistro, bar, and changing facilities which will be open seven

days a week in summer.”

The new clubhouse will extend over 1921 square metres and include ground, first and second levels with reception and junior and youth lounges, first floor racing and senior lounges, and a large, sunny deck to capture the sea views.

The building is expected to be ready by the October start of the sailing season.

Frankston station parking fees for commuters flagged Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au COMMUTERS using Frankston train station in future may have to pay to park as part of the redevelopment of the transport hub.

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

The project may become a private public partnership joint venture.

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

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

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

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

The News understands talk at the first taskforce meeting held at the Frankston Arts Centre focused on structuring the project but the viability of building a multi-deck car park at the train station at a cost of about $20 million is focusing minds on the project’s overall budget.

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

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

Parking at Frankston station’s car park is

currently free but overcrowding makes it impossible to get a parking space at peak travel times.

While Mr Edbrooke said paid parking could be on the agenda he said “it’s very premature” to know whether fees for parking will be introduced but “it’s quite a possibility in my mind”.

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

The taskforce will formally meet each month.

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

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

Council’s draft interim submission will be available for community feedback before an official submission is made to the taskforce.

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

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

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

Tests to identify remains found at Cape Schanck

THE remains of what is thought to be the bodies of two men missing off the coast of Cape Schanck were found last week.

The 42-year-old St Albans man and a 34-year-old Vermont South man were diving for shellfish off the rocks north of the cape at Fingal beach when they got into trouble about 8am on Saturday.

A third man, a 50-year-old from Keysborough, managed to get to shore and raise the alarm.

He reported that his two friends were unable to get out of the water and were clinging to a rock and getting smashed by waves.

Sorrento SES’s David Lammers

reports that by the time the man got back to the rocks his friends had disappeared.

Acting Sergeant Barry Judge said the body parts were being sent to Coronial services for DNA identification.

He was unsure which body parts had been recovered by police searching water near the scene on Tuesday morning.

The Water Police was assisted in the search by the police Air Wing, SES, Parks Victoria, Lifesaving Victoria, Ambulance Victoria and local marine volunteer groups.

Mr Lammers said the SES was not notified of the drama until two hours after the men got into trouble on Saturday.

Searchers worked until 2pm when high tides made the area “unsearchable”. They returned 8am Sunday but again were forced to call off the search at high tide.

They returned on Monday and Tuesday and searched 9am-noon and “recovered several pieces of evidence”.

Sergeant Judge said the search had been suspended pending the DNA tests.

“It’s a matter of waiting on the DNA,” he said.

First signal of crossings removal plan Neil Walker neil@mpnews.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 News 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”.

Campers face fee rise Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au CAMPERS on 21 “premium” waterfront sites on Tyrone foreshore at Rye will have to pay a weekly fee instead of a three-month discount fee next summer.

The usual $995 fee will rise to $3000 after camping site manager Whitecliffs to Camerons Bight Foreshore Reserves committee of management changed the fee structure, removing the option of the February to April off-peak package.

Campers were told of the fee hike last month and some are disappointed with one site-holder taking the issue public on radio station 3AW. Fishing show host David Kramer claimed the discount package had been removed to provide “access to sites for a commercial operator who hires tents and caravans to interstate and international tourists”.

Committee of management chair Georgina Plumridge rejected the claim.

“We’re doing this because of increased demand across the board,” she said.

The fee hike affected 21 of about 80 sites, she said.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon has become embroiled in the issue after answering an email from disgruntled camper, Kate Mackenzie of Narre Warren, who wrote to Environment Minister Lisa Neville to complain about the fee change.

Ms Mackenzie stated her family had been camping at Tyrone for more than 45 years.

“I have been camping here all my life. My grandparents originally started camping here and through them it

has given many of our family members some wonderful holiday memories,” she wrote.

She said the discount for prime sites had been removed and only standard sites would be offered the February to April off-peak package, which would rise from $995 to $1200.

“This fee increase will put the ...

February-April camping option completely out of reach [of] many of the campers and it is quite distressing to our family to think that after all these years we will be ‘pushed’ out due to this completely unfair fee structure.”

She said it was likely 10 to 12 campers would use prime sites next year, leaving about half the 21 sites available for shorter term campers.

Mr Kramer told Martin Dixon that removing the discount packages would not increase access to prime sites. “If you seriously want to increase access to sites, then you would be implementing a ballot system or introducing a cap on length of stay.”

Mr Kramer sought to interview Mr Dixon on his show but was directed to Lisa Neville’s office. When the fishing show host interviewed Ms Neville, he did not raise the camping fee issue.

Mr Dixon told The News the foreshore committee was looking at options to soften the impact of premium site fee changes for long-term campers.

He said removing discount packages for premium sites was a principle accepted by the Napthine government and was “in accordance with DELWP policy”.

(DELWP is the state government’s newly renamed environment department, now Department of Environ-

ment, Land, Water and Planning. It replaced the Liberal-Nationals Coalition government’s Department of Environment and Primary Industries, which replaced the Labor government’s Department of Sustainability and Environment.)

“The demand for these premium sites is staggering and this demand is partly driven by the continuing increase in tourists visiting the peninsula from both interstate and overseas,” Mr Dixon said.

“Our coastal Crown land is first and foremost public land and due to this increasing demand for premium sites it is felt that access to those sites needs to be prioritised to ensure a greater and broader public use and enjoyment.”

In 2010, the Labor government removed automatic year-to-year rights to occupy sites at 175 camping and caravan parks across the state, telling public land camping park managers to introduce a ballot system for 10 per cent of all sites. The decision angered campers across the state, many of whom had used the same site for decades.

Foreshore camping sites at Rosebud, Rye township and Sorrento are controlled by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Committees of management control sites at Whitecliffs to Camerons Bight (“west” Rye to Blairgowrie-Sorrento), Capel Sound (Rosebud West) and Dromana as well as on the other side of the peninsula at Shoreham and Stony Point.

The shire charges $550 a site between 25 October and 20 December, and $995 between 31 January and 26 April. During peak season sites with power cost $290 a week and $135 off-peak.

Video survey of footpaths THIS quad bike is being driven on footpaths throughout the Mornington Peninsula, with the full blessing of the council.

All-terrain footpath survey vehicles (ATSV) are being used by consultants hired by the shire to video surface conditions of sealed footpaths.

“The condition data will be used to

develop annual programs for renewing sections of the shire’s existing footpath network,” infrastructure strategy manager Davey Smith said.

Robin Valtingojir, of Infrastructure Management Group, is at the controls of the quad bike which is fitted with high speed video cameras.

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

Seaford resident Sue Summer’s daughter Rebekah has lived with epilepsy for 23 years and the duo decided to set up a forum, with the help of The Epilepsy Foundation, for those affected by epilepsy and their carers (‘Building foundation for epilepsy help’, The News 30/10/14).

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 meet-

ings. 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.” 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.

Making deadline will be a close-run thing COMMENT David Harrison HOW’S this for a countdown:  10 December 2014: VCAT issues approval for Arthurs Seat Skylift, with scores of conditions that Mornington Peninsula Shire must examine and ensure are “to the satisfaction of the responsible authority”, that is, the shire council.  19 February 2015: about a month ago, the Skylift consortium lodges with the shire its amended plans that must be “to the satisfaction of the responsible authority”, as required by condition 1 of the VCAT permit. This starts the clock on the 30-day deadline in which shire approval must be completed.  10 March (last Tuesday): councillors debate whether they, or staff, should examine and decide whether all the conditions passed to them by VCAT meet the shire’s satisfaction. The date on which plans were lodged is not mentioned at the meeting.  19 March: this Thursday the 30-day deadline expires. Councillors will have their work cut out to adjudicate on all the conditions. If they don’t finish the

PAGE 10

task the matter will almost certainly go back to VCAT, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, for final decision.

It can be assumed that council planning staff will have been beavering away on the Skylift conditions since 19 February and are ready, or nearly ready, to present their report to councillors.

The absurdly unrealistic 30-day rule, which applies for a carport or a complex $18 million gondola ride, should surely vary according to the complexity of conditions councillors have to deal with. Some of the Skylift conditions are extremely complicated and leave little room for sensible amendment.

These include conditions relating to bushfires, where VCAT itself said no more than it was “comforted” by passenger safety assurances from a proponent of the project, and left the entire bushfire emergency plan in the hands of councillors. What if a serious inadequacy were to be found in the document?

At last Tuesday night’s meeting, where the move to have councillors personally make the decisions rather

Southern Peninsula News 17 March 2015

than have officers deal with the conditions under delegation, created a sharp divide between those arguing that officers were the experts (and councillors were not) and those adamant that councillors should be accountable in this huge and controversial project.

Council officers put the case strongly for a delegated decision, including a warning that if the 30-day deadline was not met, it “may have the potential to sway the [Skylift] proponents toward VCAT rather than waiting for a decision of council. And that potentially would open up the council to potential future costs” (planning chief Steve Chapple).

Closely questioned by Cr Anne Shaw, who noted that “most councillors are not engineers or fire experts or any of those things”, Mr Chapple agreed that expertise was the realm of “technical professional qualified staff, to provide the best possible advice they can to council”.

Cr Shaw: “If we reject the recommendation of a professional officer, is it right that the proponent may seek to argue at VCAT that councillors acted unreasonably, and seek costs?”

Planning officer Niall Sheehy:

“That’s correct, Cr Shaw. Should council resolve not to support approval of the conditions then it does open itself up to a costs claim at the tribunal.”

Cr Hugh Fraser, who moved that councillors deal with the Skylift conditions, said that in such an application “the devil is in the detail and council is entitled to require the proper level of detail to be provided to it so it can consider and then approve [the conditions] ...

“It is not for council of course to depart from the conditions that have been imposed by VCAT or to depart from the judgement that has been handed down by VCAT. “It is essential that this matter be decided by council personally,” he said.

Cr Tim Rodgers agreed. “The community would be appalled if councillors didn’t make the decisions,” he said. Cr Tim Wood also argued strongly that councillors were elected to make decisions such as this.

Council planning people are assiduous and professional, with a sometimes brutally difficult decision-making role. They can be relied to bring their expertise, and any required outside knowledge, to the Skylift condi-

tions in time for the deadline to be met.

One flaw, albeit minor, in the officers’ arguments came from Mr Chapple, in responding to a question earlier in the meeting about car parking at the Arthurs Seat summit. Parking was obviously an important consideration in any proposal, he said.

He added: “I understand that in the planning permit conditions, car parking is addressed in those conditions and that they need to satisfy the requirements set out in the conditions approved by VCAT.” In fact the VCAT conditions state: “The [Skylift] permit application does not seek approval to construct any car parking. Parks Victoria stated that it will undertake (funded) works on abutting and adjacent land within the state park should a permit be issued.”

VCAT further stated that “... we have not included conditions requiring plans for parking off-site or requiring the availability of parking because we consider these to be beyond our scope...”

The motion for councillors to deal with the conditions passed 5-4. Crs Graham Pittock and Andrew Dixon were absent.

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.”

NEWS DESK Twist to art show BLAIRGOWRIE Yacht Squadron is holding its popular Easter art show Saturday 4 to Monday 6 April. It will showcase 200 works by 60 artists.

But this year, there’s a difference: Building works at the clubhouse mean the event will be staged as a ‘pop up’ art show at the Blairgowrie Senior Citizen’s Centre, 8 William Rd, Blairgowrie, instead. The show will kick off with the regular opening night cocktail party 7-9.30pm on Friday 3 April.

Works from last year’s Best-in-Show winner, Vanessa Kelly, will feature alongside other popular artists, including Jayne Henderson and Joanne Seberry. Art show patrons will have the chance to win Kelly’s work ‘Beach Walk’ by buying a raffle ticket at the art show.

“We are grateful to the seniors for making their venue available and promise patrons another diverse art show with exhibits that will meet our usual high standards,” commodore Brian Smith said.

He said many of the best pieces were often sold at the opening night cocktail party. “It is a great chance to meet some of the artists and we are looking forward to another fun night on Friday 3 April.”

Funds raised from the show go to the club’s rescue boat fleet.

For cocktail party bookings call the club on 5988 8843 or book online at tinyurl.com/bysartshow Art show hours on Easter Saturday and Sunday are 10am-5pm and Easter Monday, 10am-1pm.

Questions and answers a’plenty Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting, Tuesday 10 March, Rosebud office. Tea and coffee in the foyer.

THE public gallery was standing room only for last Tuesday’s meeting and many people had only just finished scribbling questions to council staff as councillors filed into the Rosebud chamber. Topic of the evening: the Skylift gondola, the contentious proposal that will effectively privatise the Arthurs Seat summit.

But Council Watch will not add significantly to the wordage on this subject: reports appear elsewhere in this distinguished and, might CW say, superbly edited journal. It attracted a good number of people with a deep interest in Arthurs Seat, including the artfully tousled Simon McKeon, head of the Skylift consortium, and his associate Hans Brugman.

Some 21 questions were received across a range of topics, among them the constant cost-shifting to ratepayers by federal and state governments, which begin by funding and gaining kudos for community schemes then hand the cost to ratepayers; the much-maligned Mornington clock, this week gaining an hour after losing one the previous week, and the questioner Fred Crump suggesting it go straight

to an antique dealer; “vandalism” at a Rosebud park; the too-high speed limit on Point Leo Rd, to name a few.

Then came 15 questions on Skylift.

Shire CEO Carl Cowie described as “a mistake made by me” his decision to read out questions at council meetings. CW hopes he will continue to do this, in the interests of maintaining a direct dialogue with ratepayers.

He will not deal with 21 questions at a meeting very often.

“Bear with me in terms of reading some of the handwriting etcetera,” he said before launching into the first question. CW had seen some of the scribbling and knew Mr Cowie was in for a trying time.

Computers have wrecked handwriting standards, as Margaret Bottari discovered when her name proved too high an obstacle. She was rendered as a Shakespearean character, the “r” and “i’ apparently having combined to form a different letter. Ms Jo Pittendrigh (pronounced

Pit-ten-dry) of Red Hill fell at the jump, too.

One typed question drew thanks from the CEO. An interesting fact emerged in an answer to a question: a report will go to councillors soon on the shire’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral. This emerged in response to a question on Skylift. The commitment, which became shire policy late last year, will profoundly affect the shire and its residents over time.

The carbon report to councillors was discussed after last Tuesday’s meeting ended.

It is eagerly awaited by the burgeoning ranks of climate change believers seeking ways to reduce their footprint on the stressed planet.

On this score, CW has changed his diet and is pleased to report a positive weight result; something for other portly chaps to consider.

Later in the meeting, councillors voted to send colleagues Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser to the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives World Congress in Seoul, Korea, next month. Local governments from around the globe will be at the triennial event, this year’s called “Sustainable Solutions for an Urban Future”. They will hear Crs Rodgers and Fraser present information on the shire’s commitment to carbon neutrality.

Mornington serves up Tennis International SOME of the best up-and-coming Australian and international tennis players will hit it out at the Mornington Peninsula Tennis International this month.

The event will be held at the Mornington Tennis Centre, Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Dunns Rd, Mornington.

Up for grabs is the women’s US$15,000 ITF Futures event from 21-29 March, followed by the men’s US$15,000 ITF Challenger event from 28 March-5 April.

Mayor Bev Colomb said the Mornington Tennis Centre was a true “tennis destination” with its 12 conipur clay courts - the same as those used for the WTA event in Stuttgart. It was selected by Tennis Australia to attract international events to the region.

“On behalf of the shire and our community I am pleased to welcome this event and its players to the Mornington Peninsula,” Cr Colomb said.

“International and Australian players will have the chance to compete on this international-quality clay surface. As well as the top tennis action there will be a range of free activities, including the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots clinics and Cardio Tennis sessions.

“This event offers a fantastic opportunity for

the community to see world class tennis right in our backyard, and I’m sure our local tennis and sporting fans in general can’t wait to come along and watch this free event.

“I congratulate the team at Mornington Tennis Club and Civic Reserve Recreation Centre for their support of this Australian Pro Tour event.”

Australian Pro Tour manager Fiona Luscombe said the upcoming tournaments were key events on the international tennis calendar. “Pro Tour events provide a fantastic opportunity for our rising stars of the sport to earn prize money and valuable world ranking points,” she said.

Volunteer can be part of the event experience.

Southern Peninsula News 17 March 2015

CRUISE ship passengers will again visit Mornington tomorrow (Wednesday) on the second P&O stopover in a month.

The same ship that arrived on 24 February – the 63,700-tonne Pacific Pearl – will cruise direct from Sydney to the peninsula and return on a four night, one-stop voyage.

This second visit is a vote of confidence in the town’s ability to interest and entertain its 1700 passengers, with most – again- expected to remain in Mornington enjoying the town’s attractions, while 30 per cent are expected to visit Peninsula Hot Springs or ride the Mornington Explorer bus to Arthur’s Seat and Sorrento for sightseeing.

A P&O spokeswoman said sister ship, Pacific Eden, would visit Mornington on 12 and 30 January next year and the Pacific Jewel on 6 March.

The 12 January visit is an eight-night cruise taking in Eden, Mornington, Portland and Kangaroo Island, and the latter two are four-night cruises direct from Sydney and return.

Tomorrow’s visitors will be invited to sample wares at the 30-year-old Wednesday market in Main St, which sells home-made produce such as jams, olive oil, preserves, sauces and anti-pasto, alongside the usual crafts, clothing, accessories and jewellery. There will also be alpacas and live music, and shuttle buses all day back to the ship.

Mornington Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Kim Rowe said passengers alighting from tenders would again be welcomed at the pier. “It’s the little things like this that make a difference,” she said.

“The cruise line people were hugely pleased with our welcome – and especially the signs welcoming them to Mornington. Apparently we were the only township to give them such a warm welcome.”

The Pacific Pearl had by then visited Eden, on the NSW south coast, to visit Mornington, Portland and Kangaroo Island over eight days.

A P&O spokesman agreed the cruise visit “was clearly a big event for the local community and it showed”.

“There is always something fresh and special about a new destination because everyone is trying so hard to make it a success and that was certainly true of Mornington,” he said.

“Our passengers love meeting local people wherever they go and the warmth of the welcome can determine the success of a cruise call and Mornington certainly lived up to the warmest of expectations.”

Mornington is being used as a ‘case study’ by the cruise line on how they should conduct regional visits. Ms Rowe said she believed “other cruise line operators were looking fondly at us” and that extra ships’ visits were possible.

She said a “guestimate” was that $150,000$200,000 was spent in the “local precinct” on the first visit, or around $100 per passenger. This included fees for anchoring and using the pier.

The expected five visits would generate around $1 million, she said.

Tour bus drivers have been asked to drop ship passengers off in Main St rather than at the pier, so more people will be able to attend the market.

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day on Friday 6 March was celebrated with a special event at the shire’s Mornington office.

About 80 guests heard from a panel of inspirational female entrepreneurs, including Yvette Switalski, co-founder of Villa and Hut, and representatives from grass roots social enterprise Sisterworks, that enables even the most vulnerable asylumseeker, refugee and migrant women to work towards financial independence. These women shared with the audience their incredible stories of bravery, hope, hardship and success.

The event showcased the many benefits of women's active participation within the economic sphere. The engagement of women in work creates higher economic growth, increased prosperity and stronger communities, the audience was told.

They were then invited to participate in a range of craft workshops arranged by members of Sisterworks, including Burundi basket weaving, henna hand painting and Chilean necklace making.

In her opening speech, Mornington Peninsula mayor Bev Colomb acknowledged the importance of celebrating women’s achievements in the workplace and the greater community.

“While we can be proud of our many achievements as a nation and as a community in the area of gender equality, I believe we can and must do more to make it happen for our fellow sisters, and for the future of our daughters,” she said.

“Events such as International Women’s Day increase awareness of the issues for women and are crucial to the continual advancement of gender equality.

“I would like to invite everyone here to consider what more you can do to advance gender equality and progress women’s rights. Together, we can make it happen.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Keep food vans After a contentious summer about the pros and cons of the food van lot [at Rye], and sustained efforts to oust them (‘Food trucks move to VCAT’, The News 17/2/15), it is a shame the area they used has reverted back to a parking lot for surrounding retailers, and worse, as a used car sales lot.

The food vans provided a freshness to a stale town that effectively shuts down after 5pm weekdays and from 2pm on Sundays.

They provided a useful linkage, as this vacant block cuts the town in half, of an otherwise painfully long strip of shops.

Local traders lift your game, these food vans provided a good a reason for visitors to remain in Rye. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council get on board and encourage development, not impede it. Indeed, ensure the food vans comply with the rules as much as other traders, but don't let your suffocating planning rules get in front of anyone trying to improve the vibrancy of the town.

George Paterson, Rye

Nurses praised On 14 January I was discharged from hospital and referred to the Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS) for care for chronic leg pain. I have met several RDNS nurses as a result.

[RDNS CEO] Stephen Muggleton's assurances do not reflect the views of those nurses who have shown me exemplary care (‘No loss of care’, Letters 3/3/15).

Some of them have been working for over 20 years and are passionate about their professional care.

I would like to think that Mr Muggleton would use every opportunity to market this valuable service and achieve excellent support for these dedicated employees rather than be defensive.

In these troubled times for front line services, improved openness and transparency is more likely to gain significant support from the community than a feeble attempt at defence.

The front line people deserve competent, cost effective administrative support for services marketed to the community.

Manfred Claasz, McCrae

Offices over pool So, $50 million for new Mornington Peninsula Shire Council offices

Moving in: Parked cars have now replaced the food vans on a vacant block at Rye.

(‘$56m for shire Taj Mahal’, The News 24/3/15)? I'd always been led to believe the council was already in debt and struggling financially.

I also naively believed that any council’s main objective was the welfare of its community, but then remembered that the largest building - and invariably the ugliest - in any provincial town is always the council offices.

So we had better forget about any further discussion of there ever being an aquatic centre in Rosebud - it just isn't going to happen.

Independent review I am writing in response to the article Developers push for bandicoot delisting (The News 24/2/15). 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 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

Dangerous rule I refer to Joe Lenzo’s letter (‘Follow the Rule’, Letters 10/3/15). One can only assume that a TV news item featuring Cadel Evans might have required him to safely ride in a driving lane while being interviewed. One must therefore consider that only part of Road Rule 147 applies”…unless it is impracticable to do so“. Therefore, the assumption that Cadel Evans was breaking the law seems to be a rather lame reason to justify the balance of the letter.

The continuous lambasting of bicycle riders, whose rudeness is much in the minority when compared to rude and ignorant car drivers who believe their vehicles protect their obnoxious behaviour, was seen recently in Sydney Rd when a driver opened a car door without taking note whether it was safe to do so, thus causing the death of a cyclist. That cyclist was riding within the requirements of Road Rule 147 but because motor vehicles were parked on top of the bicycle lane he was forced into the vehicle lane.

The bike lane situation on the Mornington Peninsula is very bad.

There is not one contiguous bike path or bike lane in the whole length of the peninsula.

Southbound riders passing Rosebud shopping centre have to ride in the vehicle lane. The alternative is to risk vehicles reversing out of the off street carpark.

There is no bicycle lane around Anthonys Nose. There is no bicycle lane through Rosebud West shopping centre. These are only a few examples.

One has to question whether obnoxious behaviour by cyclists is a result of obnoxious and impatient behaviour

Peninsula Fireplace

Centre

by motorists who do not understand that a cyclist must ride responsibly in the first place.

A cyclist first and foremost must ride defensively, they have no protection from motor vehicles. If they do not ride defensively, they will be killed or badly injured. Motorists rarely get that point.

It is not a matter of enforcement of an inadequate law, nor is it a matter for an attack of road rage as was implied in Mr Lenzo’s letter. What has to be done is to build better bike paths, design better bike lanes on roads that separate cyclists and other road users and better educate all road users on how to share the road safely.

It is estimated there are four million cyclists in Australia. It is time for better planning for their needs, including safer riding, safer cars, safer roads and safer drivers.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Island life In response to David Price who admits he knows nothing about Nauru or its people and has never experienced life there (‘Wrong response’, Letters 3/3/15). I have many Nauruan friends and am kept up to date with the happenings on the Island through Nauruan Facebook sites.

Whenever there is a riot or protest, family and friends of the Nauruan police force have to assist the police in maintaining control as there are not enough to handle the number of refugees on the Island. Some have been trained in lifesaving, some are living on the Island in houses provided by the government.

There have been instances of rape, abuse and attacks on fisherman to steal their boats to get off the Island.

The refugees have done millions of dollars damage to their centre.

The Nauruan people are kind and generous.

My parents lived on the Island for 17 years before, during and after the war. My dad, along with other expats, defended the island against the Germans and Japanese.

We as expats still love the islands - Christmas and Ocean - and have great memories of growing up there.

Most went to boarding school, but my parents came back to Melbourne for me to go to school here.

I have been back several times and am treated like royalty. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome.

Maybe David should consider taking a trip to the island before making judgement on the it and the people living there. There are several Nauruan sites on Facebook that are kept updated with the situation on the Island.

Hearts breaking at the ashram Keith PLatt keith@mpnews.com.au TALES of personal grief, heartbreak and broken relationships continue to emerge in the aftermath of admissions of secret sexual relations between the spiritual leader and some of his female devotees at the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga, Mt Eliza.

In the past week several new accounts of relationship breakdowns attributed to the actions of the school’s founder Swami Shankarananda have been described on a website established by his former followers.

The owners of the leavingshivayoga website have told The News that they have been advised publishing personal testimonies “does not interfere with the ongoing work by the Victorian police or other counselling work that the women may be engaged in”.

The three latest accounts of life at the school – a residential ashram in Tower Rd – have been made by people who wish to remain anonymous, although their identities are known to the publishers of the leavingshivayoga website.

“The hurt and confusion in the Shiva Yoga community has been staggering and we have been saddened by how it has negatively impacted some of the couples whose partners were involved, but the management committee at the ashram is still sticking to its policy of total denial,” the publishers told The News.

“In recent days they have even taken to taunting ex-members on Facebook with silly quotes and pictures. They have also forbidden their remaining members to look at the leavingshivayoga website or from meeting with exdevotees, which is being painted as ‘keeping bad company’.”

Allegations of sexual impropriety

by Swami Shankarananda with more than 40 women attending the ashram were revealed late December 2014.

At that time the school’s management committee said it had advice that no laws had been broken but would provide free counselling for affected ashramites and had formed a subcommittee to write a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda.

Swami Shankarananda issued a statement that, in part, said he had “profoundly underestimated the impact” of the tantric sexual activities of his own spiritual leader “and my own.

I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour. Indeed, it has been stopped already”.

Swami Shankarananda apologised “to the community and to anyone who

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 “satsang” (assembly) and prompted former supporters of the swami to reveal details of the inner workings of the ashram, including its economic base and tax exempt status.

In the latest string of “testimonials” published by the leavingshivayoga website, a man ascribes his decision to speak to the minimal attention given to the effect of revelations of the swami’s actions on male members of the school.

The man, who wants to explain how the alleged sexual impropriety had affected male devotees, said he had been involved with the Shiva School “for well over a decade and I saw Swamiji [who is also known as Swami Shankarananda and Russell Kruckman] as a kind of ultimate father figure, the ideal spiritual man, and I trusted him absolutely”.

“But the sad reality is that nearly all the male devotees of Shiva Yoga were treated like dogs.”

The man goes on to describe having to make an appointment to “seek [Swamiji’s] advice on my most pressing spiritual problems” but doubts he received “a full hour of his time” in a decade. In the less than five-minute meetings “he would brush aside my question, patronise me and then send me packing...”

“I was permanently mystified by the fact that the women seemed to be able to walk in and out of his room at will without even knocking and demand his attention for hours on end about the most ridiculous trivia,” the man continues.

“The position of the men at Shiva Yoga can now be seen for what it was, that of the useful idiot.”

The man says Shiva Yoga women “were educated to believe that it was perfectly acceptable – and even a secret spiritual practice – to lie to the face of her partner, and the pressure was on her to maintain an illusion of normality in her relationship”.

“I have to live with the fact that I have sat in Shankarananda’s room asking him for help and advice because there is something ‘wrong’ with my

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

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

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

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

“I would often talk to him about feeling that it was wrong for me to cheat on my partner, to which he would reply with things like ‘oh baby, this lies outside the boundaries of the normal world. You can’t look at it with worldly eyes. You’re exploring the shakti with your guru and it’s not cheating’.”

The woman said she had been told having sex “was a quick path to healing and enlightenment and that I would

only get the real benefits if I let it go further sexually”.

“I am now going to a counsellor who specialises in sexual abuse and, after hearing what happened and how, she said it was classic predatory behaviour and that it constitutes emotional as well as sexual abuse.

“For any of the women who were involved who have not admitted it to anyone yet – and I’m sure there are a lot – I want to tell you not to listen to the feeling that’s keeping you silent.

“I thought I was never going to tell anybody about my experience. Partly because it was drummed into me, but also because I was ashamed and embarrassed and I thought that anyone I told would think I was disgusting and wouldn’t understand.

“That hasn’t been my experience...

Admitting it and speaking about it has been transformative and incredibly healing. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was trapped under a heavy weight that only started to lift once I spoke about it.”

One day later, a second woman contacted leavingshivayoga admitting that she too “was in a sexual relationship with Russell [Kruckman]. I did not disclose that relationship to my partner because I believed that it was somehow ‘outside’ the parameters of how I would conduct myself normally within a relationship, as if it were taking place in some magical land separate to the reality of my life and the reality of my own inner values”.

“It was supposed to be some divine and mystical experience; it was not. In fact, it filled me with confusion, with self-loathing and completely destabilised me for a long period of time.”

The woman said that she too had been cautioned about telling her partner because “it will create unnecessary pain and suffering for everyone”.

The woman said that she finally confessed to her partner as the relationship with “Russell” had become “a huge obstacle between us”.

“It was a truly humbling experience to be on the receiving end of his relief and … to confirm for him [her partner] that his uneasy feelings were valid and then to experience his forgiveness, love and protection.”

She hoped other women would “find the courage to first face yourself and then face the person next to you that has stood by your side through it all … there is nothing like the relinquishing of the strings that Russell has pulled for a great many of us, for way too many years”.

“There is a life after SY that is actually far more peaceful and connecting; to your own inner being.”

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Last week I was at a conference. It

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For myself, although I’ve been in

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

In high school, I studied percussion.

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

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

The conductor was aghast and stopped the performance solely for the purpose of asking me what it was I was doing. As 140 eyes focused on me, it was clear that no answer I could provide would be good enough.

In an ideal world, I would have picked up my sticks, made a short concession speech and left the room as the remaining members of the orchestra gave me a suitable musical send off.

Sadly, it was not to be. I simply had to take it, with humiliation as my only accompaniment. stuart@stuartmccullough.com.au

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.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

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 sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first innings total of 51.

The equal second highest score was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Extrasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, 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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;send-offâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

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. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
