BURLESQUE show at the Grand Hotel is a dream come true for Mornington woman Jess Young. “It did start with a dream early last year ... literally,” she said. “I woke up one morning after having a dream about the show, and said to myself....I have to put on a show here and showcase burlesque in all it is glory to the peninsula.” That show at the Harba restaurant sold out in two days, so Young scheduled a re-run, which sold out in less than a week. Next month’s This Is Burlesque plays in a new, bigger venue at The Grand Hotel, Mornington. Young, who performs under the name Jessabella, will be on stage with Lila Luxx, who headlined at this year’s Australian Burlesque Festival tour, BB le Buff, director of the longest running burlesque school in Brisbane, Elena Gabrielle, who has performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, and on Channel 7’s Sunrise, and Petra Dish, who is Miss Burlesque WA 2013 and Sugar Blue Burlesque. “My plan is to keep a stellar record of high quality sell-out shows this year, and apply for arts funding next year to tour the show regionally,” Young said. “I am a creative person who is driven by a passion for empowering women. Last year I completed my social work and youth work qualifications all while working 60-hour weeks and producing the shows and performing. I am currently working on a young women's program to release next year. “Along with the body positive and empowering message the art form of burlesque provides, I wish to produce work in both the social work and arts fields that positively impacts on women and how they see themselves.” This Is Burlesque, Friday 17 April, The Grand Hotel, Mornington.

Ready for cut: Constance Star, left , with her locks intact before being lopped by her mother, Helen Ralston-Star, right, and, far right, with her new look and holding her shorn locks which will be sent off to a wigmaker, all as part of raising money for the World’s Greatest Shave.
Money woes affect food choices Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FINANCIAL hardship is “a significant factor” affecting peninsula residents’ ability to access fresh, local and affordable food, according to the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb. Other factors may include intergenerational poverty, such as “not having fresh vegies and fruit consistently as a younger person and, therefore, growing up not knowing how to cook or source them, or not having access to a car to access fresh food”, she said. Cr Colomb last week launched Connecting Local People to Local Produce, a booklet aimed at making access to, growing and cooking fresh, local food, easier. It was produced by the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Food security across the state was meas-
ured in the 2011 Victorian Population Health Survey. Respondents were asked if there had been any times in the previous 12 months when they had run out of food and could not afford to buy more. Their answers – reproduced in the latest Community Indicators Report - shows that 7.3 per cent of those living on the Mornington Peninsula had experienced food insecurity compared to the Victorian state average of 4.5 per cent. The Southern Metro Region figure is 7.6 per cent. “Everyone can be impacted upon by food security, from the very young to the very old and everyone in between,” Cr Colomb said. “Food security can affect people in different ways depending on resources, knowledge, and income.” She said organisations on the peninsula, such as SecondBite – which distributes more than three tonnes of ‘rescued’ fresh
Locks lopped for a good cause
food in Rosebud alone - were “just fantastic”. “Other fresh food programs and emergency relief programs providing community meals are working to improve food security,” she said. “Community gardens are also teaching people how to ‘grow your own’.” Shire health and wellbeing committee chair Cr Antonella Celi said “people may not realise, in an abundant country like ours, that [almost] 5 per cent of the population experiences food insecurity”. “People who cannot access local, fresh, affordable and nutritious food experience detrimental health and lifestyle factors that threaten their ability to live well and prosper in our community. That is not okay,” she said. Copies of the booklet at shire offices at Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington or mornpen.vic.gov.au/local_produce
MT MARTHA mother Helen Ralston-Star “had tears streaming down my face” as she cut the long, brown locks of daughter Constance last week as part of the World’s Greatest Shave. Constance was one of thousands across Australia sponsored to shave, colour or wax their hair to help those with blood cancer in one of Australia’s biggest and most popular fundraising events. “It was so thick I had to cut it in sections,” Mrs Ralston-Star said. “She has been growing her hair all her life, with perhaps an inch or two cut off each year, so it was very long and thick.” The 12-year-old attends Mornington Secondary College. She raised $520 at Benton’s Square shopping centre and a further $862 online. Now, her locks are on their way to a Richmond wigmaker catering to those who lose their hair during cancer treatment. They are able to choose the hair they want by colour and type. Treating cancer is close to Constance’s heart. “She knows my mother passed away 18 years ago with leukaemia and also an 18-month-old child who was lost to leukaemia,” Mrs Ralston-Star said. “But the fact that her hair is going to make wigs made it easier for people to donate to.”

Diversity comes to school for the day THERE was no doubting the cultural diversity of pupils from St Macartan's Primary School, Mornington, when they paraded in the playground on Tuesday 24 March. They had come to school dressed in a variety clothing to mark Harmony Day, a “celebration” of Australia’s cultural diversity. The day had a double meaning as it coincided with the Feast of St Macartan, the school's saint. Costumes worn by the pupils included saris, kimonos, hula skirts, animals and sporting identities from different countries and colours from different flags. Some even dressed as food. Following the parade years 3-6 pupils danced for the whole school. The dance was aimed at reinforcing the day's message of “everyone belongs “. The school's communication team of year 6 pupils spoke about Harmony Day on radio 3RPP the following Friday. After school teachers at St Macartan’s cooked cooked meals for each other in the schools' sustainability centre’s outdoor

Dam land plan off to planning panel SOUTH East Water’s proposal to sell off its decommissioned reservoir in Mt Eliza for houses will go to an independent planning panel. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors last week voted to send the matter to a panel, which will hold a hearing before making recommendations to state planning minister Richard Wynne. The decision gives Mt Eliza residents and conservationists another opportunity to push their case for all the land
a pumping station. South East Water has offered this block as a reserve. Some neighbours of the reservoir land were not told about the proposal until last November; others were told by their neighbours. They formed a lobby group within days to push for a nature reserve, and were later joined by prominent conservationists. A survey identified 18 species of native birds using the fenced-off land and dam, which has water after rain, as well
to become a nature reserve instead of a housing estate. Last May, the government water authority asked the shire to rezone 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres each that it had used as a reservoir between the early 1960s and 1999. The land could sell for as much as $10.8 million. The 2.8 hectares is on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads but has one block fronting Kunyung Rd, which has
as four kinds of skink, two species of blue-tongue lizard, three species of frog, and four mammal species. SEW also has refused to include social (or public) housing but has refused. Jacqueleen Brown of Kunyung Residents Group said the matter going to a panel meant SEW could not go straight to the minister and that there would be “an opportunity for further investigation into the shortage of open space in the Kunyung Rd area”.

Shire staff rally over layoffs Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au HUNDREDS of Mornington Peninsula Shire staff attended three union meetings last week to hear about their rights as the battle between the shire and two unions over layoffs continued. Australian Services Union officials held meetings at the shire’s three offices at Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings. Meetings were also held between shire CEO Carl Cowie and some of the 12 workers who were told on 13 March they would be laid off. Staff members were accompanied by union officials. Five others have been laid off for a total of 17. On 18 March the Fair Work Commission told the shire to negotiate with terminated employees and not layoff any more people. It also ordered the shire to prepare a document showing how it would proceed during a restructure following Mr Cowie’s three-month review of shire operations. ASU official Michelle Jackson said there was double the usual number of people at each of the three meetings. “I’ve been running meetings for shire staff for more than a decade and the turnouts were big, even larger than when we discuss wage rises,” she said. Ms Thomas said “no conclusions were reached and discussions are ongoing”. She said the restructuring protocol document had to be provided by the shire by Wednesday this week.
“It appears that Mr Cowie wants to contract out jobs,” she said. ASU is representing three laid off members of staff during negotiations with the shire. “They are high performing senior people and being laid off is no reflection on their competence.” Ms Thomas said some of the people laid off on Friday 13 March had left the shire but others were staying to fight. The Australian Services Union and Professionals Australia (APESMA) went to the commission to force the shire to comply with its enterprise agreement after it was revealed the shire was not offering redundancies to some staff. The ASU accused the shire of “blatant disregard of the EBA [enterprise bargaining agreement]”. Ms Thomas said if the matter could not be resolved, the union would take the shire back to the Fair Work Commission or to the Federal Court. The shire has refused to answer questions from The News. Mr Cowie stated in an email to staff that “the reason for change is simple. The shire has to put as much of its resources as possible into servicing the needs of the community, in the main, the ratepayers of the shire. The departure of certain staff is a reflection of rightsizing, not a reflection of competence”. n Shire communications manager Todd Trimble says no staff who had been laid off were escorted from council offices by security guards, as reported in The News last week. Mr Trimble did not challenge the report that some staff were given less than 30 minutes to pack up and leave.

1 IN 3 cancers can be prevented and we want to ensure all Australians are aware of this and know what to do to help prevent cancer.”
Curing cancer for all: Tour de Cure to ride 1,194km, bring cancer prevention information to local communities and raise over $2M to support Australian cancer research. Cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia and will touch most Australians at some point in their lifetime. Since 2007, leading Australian charity organisation, Tour de Cure, has been riding to raise awareness and funds to cure cancer for all. Nathan Paparella of Shades of Australia is training hard as he prepares to ‘ride to cure cancer’ on Tour de Cure’s annual hero event - Signature Tour. Over nine days, a team of riders, support crew and corporate partners bring the ‘cure cancer’ awareness message to local communities and fundraise with them. From 24th of April – 2nd of May 2015, Tour de Cure will ride 1,194km on the scenic route between Adelaide and Melbourne, aiming to raise a record $2 million. This year, Tour de Cure will take over 180 men and women on the Signature Tour team and donations of $10,000 will be given to nine communities and their selected local cancer projects.
Nathan joined Tour de Cure as a way to help raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer. Nathan wants to find a cure for cancer as his father was diagnosed with and battled cancer in early 2014. It has been an emotional journey for his family and whilst his father won his fight against this horrible disease, he would love to be a part of helping contribute towards a cure so others don’t ever have to go through this experience. You can show your support and help cure cancer by donating to Nathan. Simply visit www.tourdecure.com.au and search Nathan Paparella. We are holding a Carpark / Garage sale at the front of Shades of Australia, Tyabb Rd, Mornington, on Saturday 11th April, 9am to 4pm and Sunday 12th April, 9am to 2pm. All goods are donated with all proceeds going to Tour de Cure to help cure cancer. See you all there.
“Regional communities are often forgotten when it comes to health education and funding for cancer projects” said Káti Jahromi, Managing Director of Tour de Cure. “Tour de Cure is proud to help these communities with funds to support local cancer projects. We also share our “BE FIT BE HEALTHY BE HAPPY” program, Tour de Cure’s cancer prevention and education program, which engages schools and over 7,000 kids in the communities we visit on our biggest ever Tour.

Honoured memories: Mornington Secondary College students Mai, Emily and Lochie with pine seedlings to grow along the school’s Avenue of Honour. They were members of the school’s 2012 Gallipoli tour. Picture: Yanni
Avenue honours memory of soldiers STAFF and students at Mornington Secondary College are trying to find present-day relatives of World War I soldiers who died in battle. The soldiers’ names will be honoured on 20 plaques and in an Avenue of Honour along the school’s driveway shaded by 20 pines descended from the original Lone Pine on the Gallipoli Peninsula. “We have been in contact with the Mornington Historical Society and the RSL and have a list of names of soldiers as well as some possible family contacts,” principal Sara Burns said.
“And we are organising a special commemoration to honour the 100-year anniversary of the Gallipoli Landings in homage to those from Mornington who died.” The idea for the commemoration sprang from a trip to Gallipoli for Anzac Day celebrations in 2012. Students – many in the former Police Youth Corps - attended the Dawn Service after arriving at midnight, as well as the Lone Pine Service later that morning. Some met then prime minister Julia Gillard – as well as parents and staff - and took part in
remembrance ceremonies and even appeared on Turkish TV. Ms Burns said the 12 pine tree seedlings – about 25cm tall - were being looked after very gently and would, hopefully, become 20 trees. “They are literally in cotton wool until they are ready to plant out,” she said. “It took us two years to get them.” The school wants help from the community about any family connections to the former soldiers. One family is believed to have a grandchild at the school. Call the school on 5970 0200.

Ready for the world: Caitlin Crichton is hoping her Mrs Mornington title can earn her a place at the Galaxy International Pageant in the United States.
Titles the challenge Caitlin needs MRS Mornington Galaxy Caitlin Crichton flew to the Gold Coast last week to rehearse for her role in the upcoming National Miss Galaxy titles. Preliminary heats were being held for the finals of Miss Teen Galaxy Australia, Miss Galaxy Australia and Mrs Galaxy Australia on Saturday night. Contestants took part in photo shoots, interviews, dancing practice for musical numbers and run throughs of the demanding program which could lead them to a place in the Galaxy International Pageant in Florida, United States, in August. There, delegates from around the world will represent their countries for a week of pageantry fun - and an opportunity to garner financial and personal rewards.
It’s an exciting time for the mother of two who entered the quest “to do something different and challenge myself”. “So far it’s been really good; a real confidence booster,” she said. Mrs Galaxy Australia is open to all married women 20-plus who are Australian residents. The contest has no size, height or weight restrictions, but aims to “celebrate the beauty of every young woman”. Ms Crichton, 23, describes herself as a businesswoman and stay-at-home-mum. She and husband Dane have two children, Ryder and Nevaeh and live at Tootgarook. She has raised $601 for the Make a Wish Foundation. Stephen Taylor

Coast councils call to retain Census DELEGATES at the Australian Coastal Councils Conference at Cape Schanck have called on the federal government to retain the national Census due to be carried out in August next year. The conference attendees issued a communiqué on 16 March stating national data was needed “to ensure Australia’s councils have access to detailed demographic data ... essential for the future planning and resourcing of their communities”. The statement came soon after the government said it was considering scrapping the Census and replacing it with a smaller sample survey. Delegates, including several from Mornington Peninsula Shire, which hosted the conference, said they were
“particularly concerned that the loss of small area data, which is currently collected in the Census, will significantly affect the capacity of regional councils to track the increase in demand for community services and facilities that is experienced in most coastal communities”. “This data is critical to ensuring that councils have access to an appropriate share of Financial Assistance Grants, which are adjusted on the basis of Census data, to take into account continuing population growth in Australia’s coastal local government areas.” The national Census was introduced in 1911 and surveys all households in Australia at five yearly intervals, providing comprehensive information about where Australians live, their
place of birth, the composition of their families, and the sort of work they do. The 2011 Census cost $440 million and the 2016 one is expected to cost even more due to technology upgrades needed to process a significant increase in the number of online lodgements. Professor Peter McDonald, a demographer at the Australian National University, said the Census collects data that is beyond the capability of sample surveys. “It can track what is happening to comparatively small groups of people, which can’t be picked up by smaller surveys,” he said. “The biggest loss would be information on regional populations.” Mike Hast
Yachties want lease before due date MORNINGTON Yacht Club is seeking to renew its lease with the shire council three years earlier than required. The club wants a 21-year lease, the same period as the one signed in 1997, which was varied to allow expansion in 2000 and creation of The Rocks restaurant as well as installation of a mobile phone tower, which is leased to Telstra. The shire has not yet revealed the
proposed annual rent but last year the yachties paid the shire $50,720 – $6300 for clubrooms, almost $38,000 for The Rocks, and $6500 for the phone tower. The shire and club split Telstra’s $13,000 annual rent. Rent will be based on “registered valuation for ground rental only”, property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods told councillors on 10 March. There would be “annual rent reviews to Consumer Price Index
(CPI) and reviewed to market every three years”. The yacht club site is owned by the Crown, or government, through the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (the new DEPI). The shire manages the land for the government. The shire has to give members of the public the opportunity to comment on the lease proposal before it is signed and sealed. Mike Hast

Lions dig deep to ease Fraser’s heavy load Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE old adage ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’ is taken seriously by Mt Martha Lions Club members who have bought a laptop for a pupil who is in real need. Osborne Primary School year 4 pupil Fraser moved down from Queensland earlier this year with his mother, Alison, and brother Gareth, in year 6. However, Alison is ill and unable to work and Fraser has been sick from birth. Assistant principal Helen Peters said next term Fraser would undergo his first treatment at the Royal Children’s Hospital. “Fraser has had many operations and there is a long recovery time after each which can push him even further behind in his learning. Other issues make it difficult for him to hold a pencil and write.” Ms Peters said Osborne Primary had a limited number of computers, iPads and laptops for pupils to share. In speaking to Mt Martha Lions, she had said: “For Fraser to fully participate, he needs to be able to have his own laptop on his desk for typing most of his work and, also, to be able to take it home to do homework as well.” “His teacher (Tracey Watchorn) emails homework to students, but Fraser has no computer at home, so his mother takes him to the library. “A laptop is the preferred choice as he needs to be able to use some finger pressure to encourage movement and development, rather than just use a touch screen. “lf Fraser could have his own device for his three years left at primary

school then in secondary college he would, hopefully, be able to continue on into their laptop program.” She said Fraser was a happy child who runs around outside playing with the others to the best of his ability, even though the pain he is in sometimes requires him to come in and lie down for a while in the first aid room. “Then up he gets and goes back
to class. He has great resilience and copes with daily ongoing pain without complaint. We would appreciate your financial assistance to allow Fraser the opportunity to access the curriculum and fully participate in the learning experiences our school provides.” Lion Mike Coady said his group had fun watching a combined cooking class of Osborne years 3 and 4 pupils.
“The teacher had assistance from a professional chef, two mothers and two fathers - and Fraser was in this class,” he said. “One of the many rewards we have as Lions is to be involved in programs that assist those less fortunate than ourselves or our children.” The price of the laptop was around $500, which includes insurance.
Easter art show SOME of the peninsula’s best artists will exhibit in the gallery space of the Southern Peninsula Arts Centre from April 1-6. They are participating in the Mornington Peninsula Art Show, now in its sixth year, which is becoming a key event on the local exhibition calendar. All profits raised from the exhibition go to the Rosebud Secondary College chaplaincy program which offers pastoral care, as well as health and wellbeing programs to students. Mornington Peninsula Art Show is supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire, many local businesses, a curatorial team of local artists and dedicated volunteers. The mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said the shire’s Art Acquisition Award valued at $2000 was given for the best Mornington Peninsula-themed work. It contributes to a growing collection of outstanding local works representing the cultural heritage of the peninsula. “I wish all artists the best of luck at this year’s exhibition,” she said. Last year the shire acquired Rosebud artist John Whitelaw’s oil painting Mount Martha Foreshore, which the mayor chose to hang in her office. Future opportunities for the community to access and view the collection are being developed as part of the shire’s arts & culture strategy. This year’s exhibition opens 7pm, Wednesday April 1. It will open daily until 6 April. The Southern Peninsula Arts Centre is at Rosebud Secondary College, corner of Eastbourne and Boneo roads. Details: mpartshow.com

Ashram ‘closure’ Continued from Page 1 The statements show $1.38m has been spent improving the ashram building in Tower Rd. The “total comprehensive income attributable to members” is $181,300. The former followers say they believe the more valuable property housing the ashram in Tower Rd is owned by Swami Shankarananda. Revenue is listed on Shiva Yoga Inc’s financial statements as being $1.07m, with Swami Shankarananda shown as having loaned the organisation $373,508. The statements shows “retained earnings” of $2.9m. The statements show $1.38m was spent on “structural improvements” to the Tower Rd property. Spokesman for the Shiva School, Stephen Stanford, twice last week declined to reply to questions from The News saying lawyer David Galbally was handling media inquiries. Mr Galbally said he was providing corporate legal advice to Shiva Yoga Inc but could not provide details about properties owned by the organisation. He said on Thursday that the organisation was not in liquidation, a move that could only be determined by its members. Mr Galbally said he did not know how many members Shiva Yoga Inc had. Yoga Australia last week said it had withdrawn Shiva Yoga’s accreditation for its yoga teacher training course but “will continue to offer support to the students of the course and will register those who have completed the course as yoga teachers”. “We want to reaffirm that the actions and admissions of Swami Shankarananda go against all policies and procedures put in place by our association and the ethical code of practice yoga teachers abide by,” Yoga Australia stated. “This incident further instils the need for us to put into place a regulatory framework for our profession, similar to that of other allied health professions. “We remind you that Swami Shankarananda is

not a member or registered teacher of Yoga Australia, however Shiva Yoga offer a teacher training course that has now been suspended by Yoga Australia pending the police investigations.” The revelations in December and offers of free counselling for anyone affected by the school’s leader did little to quell the anger of hundreds of his followers who stopped their regular attendances at the school’s compound in Tower Rd. One disaffected former attendee of Shiva School described the counselling as “data collection, so they know what everyone was saying: I haven’t seen any of the promised transparency”. Another former member of the ashram of more than a decade said things were “happening so quickly that the community [of former members] has too little time to respond”. There was anger over the potential disposal of assets gained through donations or work provide for free. St Kilda-based lawyer Angela Sdrinis said she had notified both Shiva Yoga Inc and Swami Shankarananda in writing that investigations were underway into launching a possible class action over alleged sexual abuse and physical injuries. A website for Ms Sdrinis describes her as a “personal injuries accredited specialist and expert
in Comcare and sexual and institutional abuse”. Ms Sdrinis she was investigating allegations by “about half a dozen” women and was receiving “two or three” inquiries a day from other potential claimants. Claims about misused donations and unpaid work were being referred to other lawyers. Ms Sdrinis said she had written to Shiva Yoga Inc and Swami Shankarananda asking that they not dispose of any assets. “I understand the liquidator [who may be appointed] is very reputable and, I imagine, would be very reluctant to take such steps without telling us,” she said. A former ashram member said some of the women leaving the ashram’s accommodation were being helped by friends “because they have nowhere to go”. Most were also now referring to Swami Shankarananda as Russell, rather than give him the dignity and elevation of the title Swamiji. “They call him Russell because it brings him down to earth,” the woman said. “Swamiji gives him a status they don’t believe he deserves. “There has been a huge loss of trust. I feel like a trauma victim. I trusted him, but how gullible am I? “It feels like there’s been a death in my family.”

THE tones of “deep chanting” by a Tibetan born Buddhist monk will ring out after the first day of a two-day festival at Rosebud, which will include meditation, music, children’s and adult workshops, teaching, chanting and singing bowl healing, food and “health and wellbeing stalls”. The chanting concert by Lama Tendar and sound healer Liam Kelly on Good Friday night will raise money for the Tibetan Children's Fund which assists children's' education and healthcare in Kham, Eastern Tibet. The Lungta Festival is brought to Rosebud by Lama Tendar and volunteers from the Medicine Buddha Tantrayana Meditation Centre in Kars St, Frankston South. One of the organisers, Esther Gleixner, said Lungta means "wind horse energy, and its celebration brings success and prosperity for all. This year 2015 coincides with the Year of the Wood Sheep which, according to tradition, creates new harmony and blessings in helping to resolve inevitable challenges with a focus on caring for home and family”. Ms Gleixner said Lama Tendar’s deep chanting would be dedicated to world peace “and to welcome all who attend”. A traditional sand mandala would also be made and then brushed away during the two-day festival which will see the Rosebud Hall transformed into a Gompa (meditation hall) and decorated with Tibetan art, thangkas, musical instruments, bowls and gongs. Stalls will offer reiki, massage, psychic healing, aromatherapy oils and essences, handicrafts and Buddhist artefacts. Tickets for the concert ($15) are sold separately to the festival’s day passes ($10 a day or $15 for two-day pass and $25 for two-day family pass). The Lungta is runs 10am-5pm Good Friday and Easter Saturday, Rosebud Memorial Hall, Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud. Program at www.tendar.net
Skylift’s second journey to VCAT THE Arthurs Seat Skylift consortium is going back to state planning tribunal VCAT on 21 and 22 May seeking approval for changes to the number, location and height of pylons supporting the gondola cables. The original Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal permit conditions directed that major alterations to the plan approved late last year must return to it for approval. Skylift says is has done further geotechnical work that enables it to reduce from 13 to 11 the number of pylons up the slope of Arthurs Seat. It also seeks to move four pylons by more than five metres and five others by less. Two of the pylons will be taller, to maintain gondola height between the more widely spaced pylons. Skylift says one pylon will remain below the treeline but will be visible from some locations. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors voted on 10 March to deal directly with the 71 conditions VCAT imposed on the $18 million project, instead of delegating them to shire planning staff. Councillors had until 20 March to sign-off on the project but The News understands they are waiting on information from third party agencies
Bright idea: Arthurs Seat Skylift gondolas could be bright red.
such as VicRoads and Parks Victoria. Skylift has selected Austrian company Doppelmayr to manufacture the gondola lift and its towers. Anti-gondola lobby group Save Our Seat says the actual gondolas will be bright red, as used in snowfields. David Harrison
Dogs may see city ban lifted DOGS are in with a sniff of returning to Frankston’s city centre after councillors narrowly voted to fully investigate reversing a 20-year ban. Council officers will now prepare a report on overturning a ban on canines in Frankston’s central streets.
Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer has led the pack in pushing the ban reversal despite not being a dog owner herself. Cr Mayer said “other people” had asked her to raise the dogs ban on their behalf “to help drive up foot traffic for local business at a time that we have a high vacancy rate”.

Public Notice Notice of Intention to Declare a Special Charge Scheme (Promotional Fund) Mornington Main Street Activity Centre In accordance with a resolution made by the Mornington Peninsula Shire (“Council”) at its ordinary meeting held on Monday 23 March 2015, notice is hereby given that, at the ordinary meeting of Council to be held on Monday 10 August 2015, it is the intention of the Mornington Peninsula Shire to declare a Special Charge under Section 163 of the Local Government Act 1989 (“the Act”). The Special Charge is for the purposes of defraying advertising, promotion, centre management, business development and other incidental expenses associated with the encouragement of commerce in the Mornington Main Street Activity Centre. The funds are collected on behalf of the incorporated body known and operating as the Mornington Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In proposing the declaration of the Special Charge, Council is performing functions and exercising powers related to the stimulation and facilitation of business development and local employment opportunities. The maximum annual cost of the performance of the functions is $135,000 ($120,000 for marketing and managing the Activity Centre plus Council’s administrative costs of $15,000). The maximum total amount of the Special Charge to be levied is $600,000 over a period of five years. This equates to a maximum of $120,000 in any one year. The proposed Special Charge will remain in force for a period of five years from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2020. It is the intention of Council to declare the Special Charge to apply to all rateable premises (except vacant land) used for retail and commercial purposes within the Mornington Main Street Activity Centre. The land covered by the Special Charge includes: • 10 – 258 (inclusive), 1 – 17 (inclusive) and 25 – 257 (inclusive) Main Street • 11 & 15 Railway Grove • 10 – 72 (inclusive) McLaren Place • 2 – 76 (inclusive) Blamey Place • 41 – 79 (inclusive) Octavia Street • 1 – 5 (inclusive) Barrett Lane • 784 – 789 (inclusive) Esplanade • 2 Ross Street • 1, 1A & 2 Queen Street • 1 & 2 Albert Street • 1 – 9 (inclusive) and 6 - 14 (inclusive) Blake Street • 1 & 2 Empire Street • 68 – 78 (inclusive) and 53 – 63 (inclusive) Barkly Street
The proposed Special Charge is assessed and levied on the basis of a property’s location in the Centre, and in Year One if declared the Charge will be as follows for all properties with an address in/or the main public access from: • Main Street - frontage at street level $385 p.a. • Main Street - frontage - above/below street level or set-back $275 p.a. • The Esplanade, Ross Street, Queen Street, Albert Street, Blake Street, Empire Street, Barkly Street, Vale Street - frontage at street level (including Arcade) $275 p.a. • The Esplanade, Ross Street, Queen Street, Albert Street, Blake Street, Empire Street, Barkly Street, Vale Street - frontage at above/below street level or set-back $220 p.a. • Octavia Street, Sumner Lane, Railway Grove, McLaren Place, Blamey Place, Barrett Lane – frontage at street level $220 p.a. • Octavia Street, Sumner Lane, Railway Grove, McLaren Place, Blamey Place, Barrett Lane – above/below street level or set-back $165 p.a. • Enclosed Corporate Shopping Centres (20+ contiguous properties in single ownership and management) $1,100 p.a.
Charges would remain the same for the first two years of the Scheme with an increase of Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the remaining years to take into consideration the increased cost of future activities. Council considers that each rateable property and each business included in the proposed Scheme area that is required to pay the Special Charge will receive a special benefit because the viability of the Mornington Main Street Activity Centre as a retail and commercial area will be enhanced through increased economic activity. The value of the properties included in the scheme boundary, their desirability as letting propositions, (where applicable) and their general image and stature, both separately and severally in the context of the area generally, will be maintained or enhanced. Council proposes to levy the Special Charge by sending notice to those liable to pay it. The Special Charge will be payable by four equal instalments or by one instalment payable each year in accordance with rate notices. In instances of non-payment of the Charge, interest may accrue in accordance with Section 172 of the Local Government Act and standard Council practice on non-payment of rates and charges. Copies of the proposed declaration (which includes a map of the Scheme boundaries, a list of properties included in the Scheme and amounts payable by each property) are available for inspection during normal office hours at any of the Council offices for a period of at least 28 days after the publication of this notice, namely Monday 4 May 2015. Any person who will be affected by the Special Charge is entitled to make a written submission and/or objection (under Sections 163A & 223 of the Act) in relation to Council’s proposal; any person required to pay the Special Charge has the right of objection (under Section 163B). Evidence of requirement to pay the Special Charge should be included with their objection. Submissions and/or objections should be in writing, and addressed to: Team Leader Economic Development Mornington Peninsula Shire Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939 To be received no later than 5pm on Monday 4 May 2015.
Any person who has made a written submission and/or objection to Council may also elect to appear in person, or by a person acting on his or her behalf, before Council’s Section 223 Committee at a day, time and location to be confirmed. Those who wish to appear in person should indicate this in their submission and/or objection. Following consideration of all submissions, Council intends to formally consider its intention to declare a Special Charge at the first ordinary meeting of Council to be held in August 2015. Enquiries should be directed to Kaylene Wilkinson, Senior Business Development Officer on telephone (03) 5950 1855 or business@mornpen.vic.gov.au.

Volunteers fill a transport gap Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A VOLUNTEER taxi service providing low-cost transport to Mornington Peninsula residents is travelling well, but its operators believe it can do better. Peninsula Transport Assist, which began in 2011, has 24 volunteer drivers using their own vehicles and driving buses borrowed from other organisations. They drive passengers all over the peninsula for about half the cost of a normal cab fare. And, from all accounts, the service is a boon for passengers who make the most of the service for personal trips, group outings, appointments or to attend training or social inclusion activities. Research by Peninsula Health, Peninsula Youth Connections and other organisations has found that the peninsula has the second lowest provision of public transport of any Victorian municipality. This is reflected in the number of transport-disadvantaged people who contact community organisations requesting information about volunteer assisted transport. Peninsula Transport Assist aims to meet this demand by providing an all-inclusive transport service, using volunteers in their own vehicles as well as mini buses to drive passengers around the region. Trips can be from Blind Bight to Frankston, Sorrento or Hastings or anywhere on the peninsula. Many are for doctor’s appointments, including going to Melbourne for specialist and hospital visits. Buses are also booked by social or business groups to take young people to training events through local learning and employment networks or the Peninsula Training and Employment Program. But to progress and to remain financially viable, Peninsula Transport Assist needs the backing of a peninsula business or sponsor to help buy its own bus or - preferably – buses. “If we are able to own a bus we can start to make some extra income. However, it is three or more buses that will make PTA a financially robust organisation,” special projects manager Penny Abrahams said. “This is because the PTA receives only a percentage of the hire fee for buses and then we must pay the organisation that owns the bus a fee. We do not then receive enough back to make us independent.”
Going your way: Peninsula Transport Assist drivers Nancy, left, Don, Sue, Neil and David take passengers all over the peninsula for a low fee. Picture: Gary Sissons
The service has 24 volunteer drivers and, as requests for transport increase, there is a need for more. Fees for users are 77c a kilometre from the driver’s home to the client and return. But it is the add-ons that make the service user friendly: Drivers will call the night before to confirm bookings and wait for up to two hours while their passenger is at their appointment. “It is my book reading time,” one driver quipped. “Or I might do a bit of shopping while I am waiting.” Transport coordinator Susan Worlley said she may have to call 10 drivers to suitably match them with a client. “Many older passengers can be anxious about a taxi being late and missing out on something, so we get the drivers to ring them the night before,” she said. “We do many Brotherhood of St
Laurence lunches and the passengers would be devastated if a car didn’t turn up.” Drivers are reimbursed 50c a kilometre with a minimum fee of $25 charged for all trips. They are required to undergo police and working-withchildren, licence and registration checks and have comprehensive insurance. A driving school assesses driver annually. “Many of our drivers want to give something back to the community,” Ms Worlley said. “They may be retired and feel the need to help others.” All drivers receive safety and basic first-aid information and safety and first-aid kits for their cars. They are shown how to work safely with people with a disability and there is a hot weather and extreme weather conditions policy. Bus bookings until the end of June
include at least one round trip every day except weekends. “We do not currently have individual transport bookings for every day, although a trip can be booked daily if required,” Ms Abrahams said. “We have a number of bookings for a particular weekly trip with individual drivers.” Each driver usually works two days a week. They are based at Frankston, Mt Martha, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Dromana, Rosebud, Carrum Downs, Langwarrin, Patterson Lakes, Safety Beach, Hastings and Sorrento. “It is worth noting that Peninsula Transport Service provides transport in its broadest sense. Our service is very much about the outcomes for individuals,” Ms Abrahams said. “Unlike other transport providers on the peninsula, we do not just service Home and Community Care clients, whereas the only other service provid-
ers are all HACC specific services. “Obviously, young people plus many others do not fit into the HACC criteria and, therefore, would be unable to meet their transport requirements without PTA. “There are only five wheelchair access taxis in this region which makes them hard to book. And taxis, even with a voucher, are still too expensive for regular trips.” She said the PTA was the only all-inclusive community transport organisation on the peninsula operating across the entire region using shared resources and buses. “The service is unique to Victoria,” Ms Abrahams said. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer driver or businesses or organisations able to provide or sponsor a bus should call transport coordinator Susan Worlley on 9708 8241.

Sorry, no room on the bus THE PenBus service that helps students, jobseekers, apprentices and trainees reach their destination is full, and all future applications for the service have been suspended. “We apologise for this as we do not want to disappoint users who need this important service,” Rita Kontos, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable transport project coordinator said. “However, due to great demand, there are simply no seats available on PenBus.” The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said certainly not been demonstrated. The state government has decided that the lease over this section of the state park and all the business rights in this area can be increased tenfold, to 50 years, and given away without any public scrutiny (which legislation would have required if the area had been simply sold - a protection created after the land scandals of the 1970s). No environmental effects statement is needed either, as since when would a new major commercial facility along with all the attendant “office” facilities in a pre-eminent location in a rural/green wedge zone where stringent controls on commercial activities are otherwise enforced have an impact? Just as Collins St, Melbourne, was transformed with the building of enormous office towers by maintaining the fig leaf of the original buildings facades, this project will transform Arthurs Seat and the Main Ridge/Red Hill hinterland into a drive-through cafe hub by maintaining the fig leaf of a chairlift. G M O’Loghlen, Arthurs Seat
PenBus started in 2013 as a demonstration project with funding support from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. It is run by the shire in partnership with Ventura Bus lines. Financial assistance for the PenBus demonstration project will expire on 30 June.

MPs at work
Racist timeline
We were wondering where they were. Two weeks ago our local members [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon (‘Short sighted’) and Flinders MP] Greg Hunt (‘Independent review’) each wrote a letter to The News. Well done fellas – great to see you are out there batting for us. Fred Wild, Rye
“I’m not racist, but …” is the thing people say before they are about to say something racist. I never thought I would hear those words from a 70-year-old plus woman, but after she had accessed the ATM in front of me she went on to ask why languages are shown on the ATM. I pointed out that Australia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world and that some people were more comfortable with their native language, to which she replied, “in Australia we should speak Australian”. At that point, I tuned out. Why should I be so surprised that a senior member of our community displays that racist mindset? Perhaps it was because they were going to school during the World War II when the then prime minister John Curtin in reinforcing the White Australia Policy said, “This country shall remain forever the home of the descendants of those people who came here in peace in order to establish in the South Seas an outpost of the British race.” It would seem that many of these
Council support I applaud the commitment of the mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council [Cr Bev Colomb] to the prevention of family violence. Brian Mitchelson’s comment (‘Job savings’, Letters, 24/3/15) that this commitment is “superfluous” and his hope it is only “a do-gooders feel good statement” is facile and demeaning and disrespectful to women and their children who experience family violence and to those who provide support and counselling to them. Councils have the expertise, competence and the moral authority to do all they can to prevent this insidious social problem. The only caveat is that
older people have not moved on from that statement despite the establishment of the 1966 Migration Act by the Holt government and the passing of the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act by the Whitlam government that made the use of racial criteria for any official purpose illegal. It is a shame that many of these older people, part of the “silent generation” that preceded the baby boomers continue to harbour these types of prejudices that are continually reinforced today by the draconian but ineffectual policies of the neo liberal Abbott government that attack human rights and associated humanitarian attitudes. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West
Dog controls The tireless work of dedicated conservationists is not helped much by [state Environment] Minister Lisa Neville’s statements that they are supporting and working with organisations to protect threatened species. A complete ban in some areas of the state of dogs would be much more helpful. The problem with present laws and regulations is that there is no compliance. And enforcement is non-existent. If there would be some decent fines given out on a regular basis to offending dog owners, the problem of roaming dogs in national parks would soon be addressed. This is not only a problem in national parks. We have the same problem here on Western Port beaches with bad behaviour by dog owners and a lack of enforcement of regulations. Our hooded and red capped plovers are also being hounded from our beaches. Come on Minister, Do something. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

I was not surprised at Martin Dixon’s urging of the development of the Arthurs Seat Skylift (‘Short sighted, Letters 17/3/15). Anyone who has promoted the development of a chairlift to the junction of three readily and publicly accessible roads where ample car parking will be available while the drivers and passengers rest in a new enormous cafe clearly believes any project is a good project. Who needs to waste time on getting details right? This probably also explains how a project can be committed to without any public analysis or discussion of a business case (how a brand new 20-minute cable ride, at whatever price compared to driving and parking for free, can generate a profitable operation is a marvel of promotional shtick. And all this to happen with no assessment of how the new “iconic” cafe will reduce visitations to other local attractions and businesses as it acts like a sponge on visitor circulation. It is not really surprising that rather than looking to amplify and distribute visitations throughout the broader hinterland an objective of the project is to merely draw the elderly, disabled and families to the cafe and shop and then offer them the chance of successfully crossing a dual lane, 60 kph, curving and sloping major road, which is only occasionally in rain and cloud, to mainly see Port Phillip. This has been enabled by Parks Victoria’s shameful “maintenance” and then destruction of the supposedly “historical” Arthurs Seat tower. Basic levels of competence, forthrightness and intelligent planning should not therefore be assumed. They have
they should not work in isolation. Family violence is such a complex problem it requires the commitment of all three levels of government, community sector agencies, police, business, philanthropic trusts and community people joining forces and resources and, especially, listening to the voices of those experiencing the violence. In this way a common agenda can be agreed to how best to tackle the problem, rather than everyone working in isolation. I sincerely hope the mayor and councillors do not resile from their commitment.

Mad Hatter hosts Easter tea party THIS year marks the 150th anniversary of the children’s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. To celebrate, Sorrento Activity Centre will stage the Mad Hatter's Tea Party with children's Easter egg hunt and other activities, 10am-2pm, Easter Saturday 4 April. The venue is their refurbished premises, 823 Melbourne Rd - next to the museum. Two years ago the centre staged the Alice in Wonderland Art Show at Easter in support of the Rosebud Hospital Appeal. It included a play called The Mad Hatter's Tea Party – complete with children's Easter egg hunt - in the sunken garden outside Watt's Cottage. The event was
supported by local traders and attracted around 300 people. It raised $8000. This year’s free Mad Hatter's play has been reworked for the activity centre. An Easter egg hunt for children and Mad Hatter's best hat competition will follow. Children are invited to submit their most creative cupcake to be judged for a prize. There will also be lots of other free door prizes. “The aim is to engage and give back to our local community who have supported us wholeheartedly in the last few years as we have rejuvenated the centre,” organiser Denise Potter said.

Old car brings new hope to young homeless RED Hill resident Tim Daddo is quick to point out that donating his 1998 Suzuki Grand Vitara to the youth homelessness prevention charity Kids Under Cover is only a small action on his part. But he’s thrilled it means a great deal to the national organisation. Mr Daddo, a physiotherapist, says he was minutes away from trading-in his old Suzuki, or selling it for scrap, when an announcement on the radio made him change his mind. The car had served him well but was past its prime and donating it to a good cause – he felt - was the perfect solution. Donate Your Car is an initiative by the national not-for-profit organisation Kids Under Cover. It is a free and fast alternative to selling or trading-in an unwanted vehicle, and doing something good. It takes away the hassle of getting rid of an unwanted vehicle while simultaneously making a valuable donation to help prevent youth homelessness. A member of the Macquarie Speed Sailing team that broke the world sailing record in 1993, Mr Daddo said the car had “meant quite a bit personally over the years”. “It has certainly done some kilometres,” he said. “The vehicle became a bit of a figurehead for the speed sailing team – as getting places was always a bit of an operation, and the Suzuki was the car that led the charge. If it meant picking up odd parts late at night to meet a weather window, or getting

us from race to race as a team, it was always there. “Getting rid of the car is a sign of that era coming to an end.” In 1993 Mr Daddo and skipper, Simon McKeon, sailed the Australian yacht Yellow Pages Endeavour to a world sailing speed record at Sandy Point, near Wilson’s Promontory. Their speed of 46.52 knots (86.52 km/h) was set in 19-20 knots of wind. Then, in 2009, the team again made
headlines when it broke the coveted 50 knot (93 km/h) speed barrier - at 50.43 knots – over the same 500 metre course. The area is ideal for such a challenge because the waters at nearby Shallow Inlet are calm, being in the lee of strong, steady winds. Kids Under Cover CEO Jo Swift said every donation meant more funds could be directed into important initiatives to prevent youth homelessness. “Kids Under Cover is focused
on early intervention to tackle youth homelessness through practical measures,” she said. “Donations like Tim’s will assist us in providing physical support – including building re-locatable studios for young people to live in while they are in a carer’s home. These studios are small but important assets, helping a young person stay close to family, but giving them the valuable space they need.”
Mr Daddo says his donation made sense, and is secure in the knowledge that all funds raised go back to the charity. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t aware of the issues of youth homelessness, family break-up, drugs and alcohol, because we’ve all seen it in the media,” he said. “But the appalling statistics around youth homelessness took me totally by surprise. I have kids 11 and 13, and I cannot believe that children their age are at risk.” Those keen to donate fill in an online form, and rid themselves of an unwanted vehicle while helping keep at-risk youth connected to home and education. “We know it works,” Ms Swift said. “From an economic point of view, independent evaluations show that for every dollar invested in the work of Kids Under Cover, on average $3.30 is saved in the form of reduced health and justice costs. “And, most importantly, a young person is no longer at risk of becoming homeless, and is now living in secure and stable accommodation.” Kids Under Cover has so far helped to support almost 3000 young people who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Dromana’s student sailors ring the bell SAILING might be a new sport at Dromana College, but the students are performing like seasoned professionals. After starting an intensive training program late last year, the 14 members of the sailing team attended sessions at Rye Yacht Club every Wednesday after school where Bob Cooper taught them about starting and racing tactics. The first regatta they sailed in was the Bill Bell Trophy, named after a long-standing member of Davey’s Bay Yacht Club, Mt Eliza. “The students were nervous but excited to be involved in this prestigious event,” said the college’s sailing coordinator Amy Van Galen. “The actual racing was held during the qualifying rounds of the Melbourne Formula One Grand Prix on Albert Park Lake. “The Roulettes were flying overhead, the formula ones and V8s were whizzing past, and the jets performing aerial shows above us while we raced. It was truly spectacular. “Having only just started racing, our team was really not expecting to receive places on the day. Our goal was to have fun and learn from the experience. “We exceeded all expectations, with Luke Martin
and crew Wade Chamberlain bringing home the Bill Bell Trophy – presented by the man himself. What an achievement after having so little time sailing together.” The boys also won the Victorian state schools’ sprint sailing championships. The team improved over the course of the day and each boat placed in at least one of the races. They were so happy on their way home that the ‘bell’ was reportedly rung every 10 minutes. Following on from the regatta, a team of eight students was selected to compete in the Victorian teams’ racing state championships - the school’s first teams racing event. They won four out of six races, putting them third after the round robin events in their group. In the semi-finals they were described as competitive but were knocked out in the last race. Dromana College ended up winning the Most Improved School trophy which, Ms Van Galen said, “couldn’t have summed up the end to their sailing season better”. They will receive three trophies at the Yachting Victoria Awards later in the year.
Tops on water: Dromana College students winning the Bill Bell Trophy at Albert Park Lake on the weekend of the Melbourne Grand Prix.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Residents startled by Frankston fire Compiled by Melissa Walsh A TRUCK of fat lambs from Sir John Madden’s Yamala Estate, on the Mornington road, sold in the Melbourne market recently realised the handsome prise of 26s 7d per head. *** THE 283 cases of fruit forwarded to Melbourne by the Somerville fruitgrowes and residents to be sold by auction on behalf of the Belgian Relief Fund, realised the handsome sum of £149 6s which, together with £3 10s in cash, has been forwarded to the Lord Mayor’s Fund. *** OUR readers are requested to remember the Jumble Fair and auction sale at Somerville Easter Monday night, the proceeds of which it is intended to give to the Red Cross Society. As the admission is only sixpence and the object a worthy one there is every reason to suppose that the committee will be well satisfied with the patronage given by the public of Somerville and district. *** MR J. Hogan notifies by advtisement in this issue that he had commenced business in Playne St, Frankston, as a general storekeeper, and invites the public to call and view his extensive stock of groceries and drapery in the extensive premises lately built by him. Ladies’ mantles and costumes are made on the premises and also childrens’ wear of all descriptions. *** THE Somerville Social Club have arranged with Mr W. Sweetland to give
his illustrated lecture on “How a great newspaper is published,” on Friday April 9th. Members will be admitted free of charge non members for the modest sum of sixpence. The Club is arranging a series of educational lectures which will be given free of charge to their members. *** A GRAND fair will be held in the Hastings Town Hall, on Friday and Saturday next. (9th and 10th April) in aid of the funds of the Hastings Methodist Church building fund.The fair will be open at 8 pm on Friday and on Saturday at 2.30pm continuing open during the afternoon and evening, up till 11 o’clock. The committee have on hand a large quantity of useful and ornamental articles, which they intend to dispose of, and hope to realize a fair amount for the building fund. *** MR E. A. Worrall, who has disposed of his hairdressing and tabacconist business in Frankston, is leaving the district for fresh fields and pastures new, after a residence here of about four years. During Mr Worrall’s stay he has been a useful citizen, taking part in any movement for the good of the place. The various sports clubs will miss him, more particularly the football club of which he was always a supporter, and plotted through one season as hon.secretary with marked success. The best wishes go with Mr and Mrs Worrall and family on their future home. *** EXTENSIVE alteration and additions
have lately been made to the Frankston State School and in order to celebrate the event in a proper manner an offical opening is announced to be held on Tuesday, 13th April, at which Mr J. Livingston (Minister of Education) Mr F. Tate (Director) and other officials are expected to take part. The ceremony will commence at 2.30 pm, and after the opening an adjournment will be made to the Mechanics Hall, where afternoon tea will be provided. In order to meet the expenses incidental to the occasion 1/6 will be charged for admission, and it is hoped that the parents and friends of the children will cooperate with the Board of Advice in making the affair a success. *** ON Easter Monday the Roman Catholics of Frankston and district are making their annual effort in aid of the funds of the Church and this year it will take the form of a “Tipperary Fair’ which will be held in the Mechanics Institute. This is the first bazaar that the promoters have held for 15 years in aid of the church and as they have a great variety of really good and useful articles to dispose of they feel assured that those who attend will be well catered for. The fair will open at 2 pm. and continue during the afternoon and evening. The following ladies have been appointed stall holders: Fancy stall -Mrs M Hogan, produce (paddy’s market)-Mrs Guumes, sweets-Mrs Jordan, Misses Butler and Hardiman, refreshments-Mrs Walsh, Misses Cahill and Blake; bran pie-Masters R. Coxall
and R. Hardiman. The secretarial duties are being carried out by Mrs A F. Mildred, and the President is Miss Q. Cahill. The Frankston brass band will play selections during the afternoon and evening. *** WE regret to have to record the death of Mrs Deane, wife of Mr T. E.Deane, of Hastings Road, Frankston, which sad event occurred on the 30th, at the residence of deceased’s sister at Preston, where she was on a visit. The husband and two children are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and mother. The remains were interred in the Melbourne General Cemetery on Wednesday. *** THE residents of Frankston were startled on Tuesday, about midday, by the alarm of the fire bell, and it was not long before each was enquiring of his neighbour “Where’s the fire?” When found, it was the grass in the park, which had caught alight mysteriously, and a number of willing hands quickly had it under control but did not succeed in extinguishing it wholly. The call of the bell was therefore heard again about 11 o’clock the same evening, when the flames were again subdued. Nothing more was heard of it till 1 o’clock on Wedresday, when it again became dangerous and had to be kept within bounds. *** WHILE Mr and Mrs O’Bryant were away from home on Sunday afternoon last somebody broke into their house and stole £2 10s. The intruders were
evidently well up to the game, as they came across a cheque which was crossed, but knew too much and didn’t take it away. *** THE Hastings Brass Band are going to play selections on the Pier on Sunday afternoon, and take up collection in aid of the Belgians. *** THE congregation of the Holy Trinity Church are tendering a send-off to Mr B Hanson on Tuesday night next in connection with the Independent Order of Rechabites. Both parties are giving him suitable presents. *** ON Sunday last an accident was very narrowly averted through a cyclist riding on the footpath which is a very dangerous practise. *** QUITE a gloom was cast over the district on Monday morning last when it became known that Mr Edward Coplan hap passed away in an alarmingly sudden manner at the early age of 44 years. Although the deceased had been laid up for about ten days with a severe attack of bronchitis no suspicion was aroused that his end was so near, and altogether he seemed to be making fair progress towards recovery and was hopeful of soon being at work again. A sudden fit of coughing brought on the sad end. The deceased, with his wife and family, had lived for many years in India, emigrating to this State about two years ago.

■ SKIN CANCER
High incidence of melanoma on the Peninsula! Melanoma, the most dangerous of all skin cancers, is being detected on the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula in record numbers.
Melanoma Patients Australia released a report in 2014 showing the number of melanoma cases have increased by 44% since 2000 and our local skin cancer doctors have seen the evidence. “Here at Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre, we had 233 melanomas found in 2014 but now we have seen over 85 melanomas just in the first 3 months of 2015” said Dr Sally Shaw, owner of the skin cancer clinic. “With the large number of baby boomers retiring on the Peninsula and most with a history of sun baking in the past or of sun damage, they are reaching the age when melanoma most commonly appears” she said. “It is vital for everyone to have their skin checked at least once a year, preferably with a doctor who uses dermoscopy. The good news is that most melanomas are found early and that means a high survival rate up to 99%”. According to Dr Shaw, the most effective way to detect melanoma early is with Mole Mapping. This technique uses digital comparison imagery to pick up new or changing moles. Most melanomas appear as a new mole and are picked up due to their changing size, shape or colour. Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre has a clinic in Frankston and Mornington.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Things that should be fun but aren’t By Stuart McCullough IF golf is a good walk ruined, fishing makes the act of sitting around and not doing very much a supreme test of human endurance. My grandfather (pictured on far right) was a keen fisherman. He could plunge his bare hands into a glass of water and come out with a 12-inch trout, he was that good. My father missed out on the fishing gene and it soon became clear that it had skipped more than one generation. Suffice to say, my father is a terrible fisherman. I, on the other hand, am not quite as good as he is. Truth is, I always found it easier to catch a cold than I ever did a fish. Despite an absence of aptitude, we were required to try our hand and, if that failed, fishing rod. I would have been no more than six years old when I received a rod of my own. In fact, it wasn’t so much a rod as a giant cork with fishing line wrapped around it. Apparently, I wasn’t to be trusted with a proper rod. I spent hours staring at my oversized cork, wondering just how large the bottle must have been. My brother and I were taken to a variety of windswept, desolate locations where we expectantly lowered our hooks in the water and began the long and interminable wait to go home. When it came to fishing, I was useless at everything. To start, I found the idea of baiting a hook repulsive. This was attributable to the fact that, in an effort to be thrifty, we used live worms dug up in the backyard. Trying to thread one of those suckers onto the hook was not only difficult but also
downright nauseating. In the end, I resorted to tying my worms on with cotton to avoid harpooning them. Getting the bait on was the first of many problems. It seems I was incapable of unspooling my fishing line without it becoming an intractable Gordian knot. No sooner had it dropped off my giant cork than it was a bird’s nest, useless
for fishing. Despite the fact that I showed little in the way of aptitude or interest, I was eventually promoted from cork to rod. While you might think this kind of upgrade would better my chances, it was not to be. About the same time I received the rod, I was given my own tackle box. It was blue
with lots of compartments for hooks and sinkers. There was little variety. As men of substance, we didn’t go in for frippery like lures or anything that might increase our chances of actually catching a fish. We were, in that sense, purists. Had the object of fishing been to embed the hook as deeply as possible into a sunken tree trunk, I would have been an out and out champion. I’d go so far as to say that there’s not a fisherman alive who can capture a lump of wood as quickly as me. I wouldn’t even wait to wet my line before hooking a hapless eucalypt when attempting to cast. It’s a shame that more meals don’t feature wood as a key ingredient. We would have feasted like kings. Sadly, every lump of timber I hauled in was, in the traditional fishing manner, kissed and returned to the water from whence it came. As for the fish, the sight of me picking up a rod gave them a much-needed chance to relax. But we kept on trying all the same, perhaps in the hope that genetics would kick in and I would suddenly come good. The day never arrived. We’d stand by the side of a river, a huge supply of replacement hooks and sinkers by our sides, and wait for the sun to disappear. At some point, the bait on our lines would vanish, as if stolen by a master thief. We were staying beside the Goulburn River, outside Shepparton. I was as adept at camping as I was at fishing and, after 24 hours, was waiting for the chance to load up the car and
go home. But first we had to fish. With our rods in our hands and fishing lines limply dipping into the water, we waited as swarms of mosquitoes feasted on our faces and arms. Without warning, my line drew tight and I got the shock of my life. In all my years of fishing, I had never seen a tree branch fight like this before. But then the unthinkable occurred to me – what if, instead of a tree, this was an actual fish? I tried not to panic as I reeled it in. As the beast was hauled from the water my father pulled a face, saying, “It’s only a European carp”. It was, so he told me, barely edible. I told him I didn’t mean to carp – European or otherwise – but that we would either be eating this fish or having it stuffed and mounted in the living room. We ate it. Frankly, the whole experience left a bitter taste in my mouth, although that could easily have been the carp. I should have let it go. It’s often said that to spare the rod is to spoil the child but if that rod is a fishing rod, you’d be doing the kid a huge favour. As for me, my fishing days are long gone and the rod and reel have gone to that great shed in the sky. Tellingly, our father never went fishing without us. I think he was as relieved as we were when it was over. Fishing is so hugely popular that I feel a little guilty for disliking it. Still, I tried my best. But it was only a matter of time before fate would unhook me and send me back on my way. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE FIFTH ELEMENT By Melissa Walsh Mark Poulter sure knows how to create delicious cuisine, and his wife Cherie understands the importance of providing a friendly, welcoming environment for guests. That’s probably why the couple’s Veraison Restaurant at Bluestone Lane Vineyard in Merricks North has been number 1 on TripAdvisor for two years in a row. “Our menu is based on French influence as in all cooking French is the basic foundation. Over the past few years we have been introducing different themes. Last year we created dishes with an Italian slant and this season it will be Asian-inspired,” says Mark, who is particularly keen to incorporate umami into his dishes. “Umami is a relatively new ingredient in Australia but has been in Japan for 500 years. It comes from dried seaweed and is the fifth flavour,” explains Mark, “the other four flavours being sweet, sour, salty and bitter.” Mark says that creating the perfect dish is all about balance. “It’s about balancing the perfect flavours and this is the whole basis of cooking. Tastebuds work in such a way that if you balance your food you can please all tastes. It’s about flavour pairing and balance to create the perfect dish,” says Mark, who has been a chef for 28 years. Like any food connoisseur, Mark
explains umami poetically. “Umami is like fulfillment. It fills out everything and naturally enhances other flavours. We make stocks out of it, and add it to sauces and broths. It is not a specific flavour you will recognise but it is distinct because of its enhancement of a dish.” As with all of Mark’s ingredients, he only chooses the best from each region, whether local, interstate or international. “Certain places produce the best ingredients and we will not accept second best, which is why we import
our umami from Japan, our icecream ingredients from Italy, our fresh fish and vegetables from the peninsula, and some items from interstate like Tasmanian salmon,” he says. Veraison’s new menu will include produce now in season, and the best pickings from each area. “This season, asparagus is flourishing and of excellent quality so I will definitely be using this in my dishes.” Mark also uses authentic soy sauce from Japan, stored in 100-year-old barrels, and kombu from the north island of Hokkaido.

Arch rivals launch season, eye finals PENINSULA LEAGUE PREVIEW
By Toe Punt EDITHVALE and Bonbeach will launch the 2015 Peninsula League football season on Good Friday. There has been enormous talk about both clubs in the pre-season but both should still be thinking about finals in 2015. Edithvale should be eyeing off a place in the top three, given it has sensational teenagers coming through the system, as well as the fact that Brett O’Hanlon has returned from Richmond. Bookends Nick Connellan and Brent Bowden are noticeable departures but they haven’t really lost a lot of others. Some quality teenagers have gone to try their hand in the VFL but that still doesn’t change the fact that they have retained many others. Brad Tagg was a player many thought was leaving but he has remained, as have the recruits that they picked-up the year before. Bonbeach on the other hand have lost plenty. How they recover from this will be interesting to watch. Shane McDonald and Paul Rebeschini are the biggest outs, while the likes of Ricky and Jason Ferraro, Cal McQueen, Danny Ades, Matthew Batten, Justin Bennett, Matt Clifford, Nathan Hicks, Rob Horler, and Anthony Raso are reasonable names to have lost. A big recruit for the Sharks has been former Collingwood and Carlton ruckman Chris Bryan. The Sharks’ reserves also played finals footy last season, so there is an element of depth.
PAGE 50
On Easter Saturday, another massive contest is Pines v Seaford. The Tigers were just OK last season and have lost Tom Shaw, who is a massive out. They do regain Pat Cadd and Chris Fortnam from Pearcedale but they are past their best. Coach Ben Crowe needs to have a massive year and the many kids he introduced last season need to take the next step. Pines has been a talking point in the off season. Former Richmond, North Melbourne and West Coast Eagle forward Aaron Edwards has been the talk of the town. He will play a little higher up the ground while Guy Hendry remains the focal point. Luke Potts, a Pines boy, he returns home to where it all began. Despite the two big recruits new coach and former Python premiership player Pat Swayne believes structures and natural improvement will be where significant change is seen. “I think Pines went through the motions last year and played without a lot of game style or structure,” Swayne said. “We have worked tirelessly on this over the summer and believe we have a system that is capable of being really competitive. “Our practice match form against Cranbourne, Rowville and Rosebud has been solid and I’m confident we’ll be more competitive than we were last season. “Other than Frankston YCW, who is the reigning premier and stand-out, I think the season is wide open. “Our quality of depth has improved, there’s a real hunger amongst the
Mornington News 31 March 2015
group and I think we have genuinely 32 guys vying for a senior spot each week. That’s great for the club,” Swayne said. Around the other clubs, Frankston YCW has added guns Anthony Bruhn and Paul Minchington from Frankston YCW, along with Lew Roberts, who returns, and Luke Collins, a star onballer who has played in Sale for the past three seasons. They lose the likes of Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe to Somerville and Anthony Barry to the VFL but the premiers will still be the yardstick. Karingal, under the guidance of new coach Michael Burke, is likely to improve but hold up the rest of the table. There’s eight teams who all have genuine claims on a top three spot.

MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard
Premier contenders shape up for season NEPEAN LEAGUE PREVIEW By Toe Punt NEPEAN League Football will kick off on Good Friday when arch rivals Rye and Rosebud launch the 2015 season. There has been enormous talk about Rye during the off-season and new coach and former Sorrento premiership player Josh Moore believes his side is well placed to challenge. His right hand man is former club premiership coach Steve Ryan, who is a big recruit himself. It will be tough though. The Demons have lost the key connection that helped to propel them to within a kick of last year’s Grand Final. The Semmel brothers - Jake, Luke and Ryan have all left the club while Chris Gleeson also left at season’s end. Jay Bruno, who won the league medal, left before the season finished and centre half forward Aaron Findlay has also walked again. However, the talk on the southern peninsula is that Rye is the best placed of all the sides down that way to win the flag. Whilst the Semmel brothers and Gleeson were good players on the field, culturally the talk was that they didn’t fit in. This season the “vibe” is the best it’s been in years and the result has been 199-game and former skipper Rhett Sutton signing on again. Moore said finals were an expectation and that the top three was the goal. “The players we have recruited have been sensational,” Moore said. They are all seasoned finals and premiership players and they know what we need to get where we want to go. “Findlay is a big loss but we have two outstanding emerging kids in Andrew Dean and Brady Egan who I rate highly and believe can become A-graders. “We’ve certainly got the list on paper to challenge,” Moore said. Moore said he wasn’t considering playing right now but conceded he had been training and that his body “felt great”. “I am here to coach Rye Football Club first and foremost and I was to devote all my time to get it right. If things are going well at the halfway mark and we think I can add some value, then I’ll reconsider them,” Moore said. “I’m also hopeful that Ben Holmes will return in the second half of the season also after getting through his triathlons,” Moore said. Moore has watched the last couple of Rosebud practice matches and believe they will be the big improver. “Rosebud has really impressed me and they seem to be up and going. Good Friday will be a great first-up hit-out,” Moore said. Despite the enormous talent that has walked from the club, footy experts believe Rye has picked up three of the best half a dozen players in the Eastern Football League. The pick of them is Ryan Mullett, who has a number of league medals to his name. He hasn’t played a practice match but has done his first full pre-season in two years. Mullett is “flying”, according to Moore.
Former Hawthorn player Simon Taylor is also a notable in for the Demons and Adrian Gilleno is a key forward who kicked almost 50 goals last season. He’s been dominant in the practice matches. The Demons take on Rosebud, arguably the unluckiest side in the competition last season. Rosebud lost five games by less than two goals in 2014 and stars Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley had virtually no influence on the season. Rhys Bancroft was another player who missed the majority of the season with an ankle injury. They have all done full pre-seasons. Rosebud has recruited two guns from Subiaco in the WAFL, Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest, while Jamie Clarke returns after a stint away. Had the Buds won those close games last season, they would have pushed for the top three. With all the talk surrounding other clubs, the Buds have flown under the radar in the pre-season. They still have an outstanding list and will be hard to beat. Ruckman Paul Lewis won’t be an easy one to replace, however and if they have a deficiency, it will be in the ruck. All of the talk in the off-season has centred around Somerville. Why wouldn’t it? The Eagles have landed a VFL star in Scott Simpson, an ex-AFL draftee in Tim McGennis, two 2014 premiership players in Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe (YCW), two 2014 grand final players in Adrian Speedy and Anthony Simpson (Mornington) and Peninsula goal kicking machine in Tommy Shaw (Seaford). On Saturday, the Eagles belted Langwarrin by 10 goals in a practice match with full forward Adrian Ridout dominating with half a dozen. He did tear his hamstring late though and will certainly miss the first month or so. Leigh Stewart and McGennis had more than 25 touches each, Justin Farrelly was at his best in the ruck, Scott Simpson did as he pleased and Todd Farrelly and Kane McKenzie controlled the back half. There was no Tom Shaw, Speedy or Ben Sedgewick either. The Eagles are flag favorites, no question about that. They have arguably the best list in the entire MPNFL, outside of Frankston YCW in Peninsula. They will smash Tyabb on Easter Saturday, who have lost even more players in the off-season, including skipper Ethan Rahilly and onballer Dale Binks, both who crossed to Langwarrin. The other Easter Saturday game is that between Sorrento and Dromana. We used to get so very excited about this game. In 2015, we just hope that Dromana gets out of it with a less than 10 goal thumping. After Dromana’s 2014 premiership, they lost around 15 players during that pre-season. They have lost another 16 this pre-season, including the likes of skipper Jay Neratzoglou, Paul Minchington, Anthony Bruhn, Cal Park and Steven Gaertner. The Sharks, the reigning premiers, have lost a few through retirement, while prize recruit Luke Tapscott from Melbourne has a back injury and will miss the first half of the season. They have a very talented Under 19 side though and many of them will play regular senior footy.

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

Good Guys doing good THE Good Guys Mornington Store Manager, Tony Coco, is committed to supporting the community where his customers and employees work and live. He believes that giving back is a central part of being a Good Guy. “Mornington has some great organisations that work tirelessly to help locals in need,” said Tony. “The team and I are really proud to get behind our partners to help them continue the great work they do.” Since the store opened, The Good Guys Mornington’s Local Giving Program has provided support to local community partners including CFA Mornington, Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia and Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach. “The work that the Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach do for our local community is fantastic,” said Tony. “They provide an essential service which contributes to the safety of our
locals, which is a great thing.” Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach has been supporting the local community since 1961. Their aim is to promote safety in the operation of small crafts by providing education, example, examination, and through search and rescue. The Good Guys Local Giving Program is run in partnership with The Good Guys Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation which will see a percentage from every transaction made in store or online donated to local community organisations. To find out more about The Good Guys Mornington’s Local Giving Program, simply visit Tony or one of his friendly team members in store. Good Guys Mornington is at Peninsula Home, Nepean Highway, Mornington. Phone 5976 0200.
Petstock for all your pet needs “PETSTOCK is 100% Australian, just like prawns on a barby, a boxing kangaroo, bucket hats and thongs,” says Mornington PETstock store manager, Gary Starick. “Our entire team are so proud of that fact. Not to mention that we continue to provide the ‘good ol’ fashioned’ customer service that you just don’t seem to get as often anymore. Our team members are local industry experts. We know, because we’ve found them specifically and continue to train them to be their best. We pride ourselves on being able to provide the best advice on nutrition, behaviour and suitable products for you and your pet.” The team at PETstock understand that you’re not just shopping for your dog, cat, bird, fish or lizard…you’re shopping for your buddy, your best mate, your family members. That’s why leashed pets are welcome in store any time; it’s so much easier buying for your buddy when they’re right there with you. At PETstock, pets are family. It’s not only that Store Manager Gary Starick and the team love taking care of them and spoiling them like they’re our own.
“ It’s that we want to, and that makes a huge difference. We offer a number of in store services that make pet care convenient and cost effective, such as DIY Dog Wash, Grooming, ID Tags and Engraving and Aquarium H20 Testing; and yes, it does give us a chance to spoil them while you’re here,” says Gary. “Unlike the walls and floors of your bathroom at home, our DIY Dog Wash facilities are made to withstand the spray of water that comes from a good, strong wet-dog shake. We even provide the shampoo, conditioner and a hair dryer. If DIY Dog Wash is not your thing then let our highly trained groomer pamper your pet. At PETstock we only use positive reinforcement techniques so you can be confident your best buddy will leave our salon fresh, calm, happy and oh-so good looking. Bring your leashed buddy along for a visit! The Mornington team is proudly local and looking forward to welcoming all customers and their pets in store.” PETstock Mornington is at Peninsula Home, Nepean Highway, Mornington. Phone 5975 7477.
