Solemn start to a new dawnResidents from towns across the Mornington Peninsula on Saturday joined thousands throughout the country at dawn services commemorating the centenary of the Allied landings at Gallipoli which gave birth to the

Anzac legend. More than 600 assembled at Tyabb, braving the threat of rain. In his commemorative address, David Chalke describe the Australian soldiers being rowed in boats to the shore where “forewarned by

the earlier failed attempt by the Allied navies too force the Dardanelle straits, the Turkish defenders were waiting for an invasion armed with barbed wire, machine guns, and cannon”. Lest we forget. More pictures Page 8

METRO Trains has denied the trou-bled Stony Point rail line will be shut down permanently and may bring back diesel trains until a boom gates prob-lem is fi xed.

Passenger train services have been suspended on the Stony Point line since 30 March after boom gates failed

to close when trains approached level crossings on two occasions last month (‘Rail line shut down’, The News 7/4/15).

Buses have replaced trains to trans-port passengers to stations between Stony Point and Frankston while Met-ro works on an “engineering solution”.

Axle counters are being installed along the rail line to ensure boom gates are triggered to close when trains ap-proach.

“There are no plans to permanently close the Stony Point line,” Metro spokeswoman Pauline O’Connor said.

“We are working as quickly as possi-ble to implement a permanent solution and restore services by late June.”

Ms O’Connor said the installation of axle counters at 19 level crossings will take until late June due to extensive en-gineering design, installation and tests.

“The program to have all works com-pleted by the end of June is aggressive

and cannot be safely compressed any further,” she said.

“We really appreciate that the cur-rent situation is an inconvenience for our Stony Point line customers, and are working as quickly as we can to im-plement this permanent fi x and return services to the line.”

Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess told The News he met with state gov-ernment agency Public Transport Vic-toria offi cials last week to fi nd out why

boom gates malfunction on the Stony Point line.

“The track was originally designed for diesel trains which are much heavi-er and there’s a lack of contact between the wheels and the track on the sprint-ers,” Mr Burgess said.

He said he “had pushed them [PTV] really hard” and Metro may reintro-duce diesels to the Stony Point line as a stopgap until the axle counters are in place. Continued Page 5

THE youngsters of Balnarring are being taught about the Aboriginal his-tory of the area.

The ongoing program about in-digenous culture started last week at Coolart Homestead, Somers, when 240 children from Balnarring Pre-School, Balnarring Early Learning Centre and Balnarring Primary School (preps to grade 2) heard elders’ stories and participated in workshops.

The day began with a traditional welcome to country ceremony by

Boon Wurrung elders Carolyn Briggs and Fay Stewart-Smith.

The workshops included talks by the two elders as well as singing, dancing and children making artworks from natural objects.

In particular, the children were told Boon Wurrung legends about the “creator” Bunjil, who travels as a wedge-tailed eagle.

The year of learning about the Boon Wurrung will culminate with the unveiling of a sculpture at Balnar-

ring Beach. The metal sculpture will include Bunjil’s nest woven with mes-sages printed on pieces of wood from the children.

“We try to make indigenous culture part of our program all the time,” Balnarring Pre-School teacher Karen Anderson said.

“The day at Coolart was designed to ignite the interests of teachers and children.

“The nest sculpture is designed so we can keep adding messages.”

Children’s ‘welcome’ to year of learning

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s contentious Municipal Charge, now $180 per domestic rate notice, is to be reviewed, shire CEO Carl Cowie told the 13 April council meeting.

Responding to a question from Joe Lenzo of Safety Beach, Mr Cowie said the review could result in a change to the fl at-rate charge starting in the 2016-17 fi nancial year budget.

Mr Lenzo had asked if the shire would "consider discontinuing this regressive and unfair tax", collecting it instead by increasing the rate in the dollar. He had provided fi gures show-ing its disproportionate effect on the less well off.

The highest dwelling rate, excluding the Municipal Charge, was $48,900, he wrote in his background to the question. The lowest was $31.55.

As a percentage of the rate bill, the $180 component of $48,900 was 0.37 per cent. For the lowest rate ($31.55), the $180 represented 570.52 per cent.

“Although the most extreme exam-ple, it does point out the disparity and unfairness of the charge and penalises those who can least afford it,” Mr Len-zo wrote.

In reply, Mr Cowie described the question as “well put”. The 2015-16 budget was almost fi nished but a re-view of all shire fi nances would be ready for the 2016-17 fi nancial year and beyond, he said.

It is believed support for cutting or abolishing the Municipal Charge is

Review for ‘unfair’ shire charge

gaining support among councillors. It is argued that recovering the revenue lost by way of the sliding-scale rate in the dollar is equitable and achievable.

At the council meeting, eight ques-tions were asked about Red Hill Sta-tion Reserve master plan, currently being considered by the council. They covered tensions over the project that ranged from equestrian issues to elec-tric barbecues, maintaining the area’s bushland feel and why the work was being done at all.

(Disclosure: this writer was a com-mittee member of the local commu-nity group when the proposal was launched in 2008.)

Red Hill Community Association said the shire had received 90 respons-es to its community consultation ses-sions about plans for the area, which is on the corner of Shoreham and Point Leo roads and along part of the old railway line to Merricks. Only three responses were negative.

MT MARTHA surfer Arturo Tallarida rode his way to third place in quality surf for the fi rst round of the state longboard titles at Point Impossible, near Torquay.

The 2-3 foot reef break suited Tal-larida, who was one of the few east coast surfers to make any sort of mark in the round which was dominated by west coast surfers.

Tallarida came third in the open men’s and open logger sections.

Other Mornington Peninsula surfers to secure a foothold in the round were Craig Burton, St Andrews Beach, Tomaso Bellasai, Mornington, and Benjamin Pitts, Mt Martha, who

came second, third and fourth in over 40 men’s; Steve Friedman, Cape Schanck, in the over 50 men; Joel McLean, Mt Eliza, under-18 logger; and Steve King, Bittern, and Cameron McLean, Mt Eliza, third and fi fth in the over 40 loggers (Steve Friedman was fourth).

Former state champions Rob Emslie, Ocean Grove, and Molly Powell, Anglesea, won the open men’s and women’s divisions.

Emslie was making a comeback to competition surfi ng after taking off more than fi ve years due to injuries.

Locking in a heat total of 14.20, Emslie took down younger surfer

Liam Griggs-Kennelly, Aireys Inlet, who fi nished on 11.90 points in sec-ond with Tallarida third on 11.57 and Oscar Lalor, Apollo Bay, fourth with 8.17 points.

“The last time I surfed a state titles event was back in 2008. I spent a few years on the couch with stress fractures in my back and I just missed surfi ng so I decided to give it a go,” Emslie said.

Molly Powell, Anglesea, continued her domination of Victorian longboard surfi ng over the past few years by taking out the fi rst round and setting herself up to claim a fourth consecu-tive state title.

Longboards out for Impossible style Foot mforward: Arturo Tallarida puts a foot forward on his way to coming third in the men’s division of the fi rst round of this year’s state longboard titles.

A WOMAN aged in her 80s died and a man in his 90s was critically injured yesterday (Monday) when a car hit a tree in the median strip of the Moo-rooduc Highway, Mornington.

The accident happened at about 11.30am when the car left the south-bound lane on a sweeping bend be-tween Bungower and Mornington-Tyabb roads.

Police said the woman died at the scene and the man was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with critical injuries.

The male driver was taken by am-bulance to The Alfred with non-life threatening injuries.

The highway death comes four days after a 41-year-old Safety Beach man died after being struck by two cars on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway on Thursday night.

Acting Sergeant Lindon Walker of the major collision unit said the man was hit by the fi rst car at 8.55pm after stepping onto the outside north bound lane of the freeway.

The driver of a Toyota Corolla, a woman, 41, from Dromana, stopped some way along the road and called for help before driving to Mornington police station.

The second car to hit the man was driven by a man from Rosebud.

The accident happened where the freeway runs alongside the Safety Beach Country Club golf course.

Police have been speaking with the victim’s family to ascertain his move-ments before he was killed.

Police have appealed for anyone with information about either accident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or fi le a confi dential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Continued from Page 1Public Transport Victoria assured

Mr Burgess there is no plan to axe the rail line.

“There is no way in the world I would ever let that happen under any circumstances,” he said.

The Liberal MP reiterated Metro’s comments about the axle counter, stat-ing they are “a permanent fi x” to the boom gates glitches. Mr Burgess said the previous Napthine government had intended to have the axle counters installed by the end of last year.

Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the state government is working with Metro and PTV to have the Stony Point line “reopened and op-erating safely as soon as possible”.

“The suspension of service on the Stony Point line is very frustrating for passengers.”

Metro confi rmed diesel trains may be reintroduced until the axle counters are installed by the end of June but there is no guarantee diesels will be rolled out again.

DARYL Gordon knows the value of a family photograph.

He is a professional photographer, but an image of his wife and baby daughter evokes pure emotion. Gordon knows that such a record is priceless; it’s a brief moment in time that he captured through the lens just months before Yvette and daughter Marley, 5, were involved in a horror car crash at Hastings.

The photo was taken in June and the accident happened in November.

Luckily both survived, although there is no doubt they will remain affected to varying degrees for the remainder of their lives.

“A photo is permanent and this shows me what I could have lost,” Gordon says.

The smash brought out the best in the Balnarring community, with the Gordon family (there are two other daughters, Ella, 11, and Poppy, 9) receiving help and support for weeks as fi rst Yvette and then Marley were released from hospital.

“The Balnarring community was awesome in helping us out; it was unbelievable,” Gordon said.

“It’s one of those things that you only fi nd out in a crisis, you realise that people really do care.”

For the third year running Gordon is taking photographs of people for his ongoing Balnarring Portraits project.

As with last year’s inaugural shoot, families and individuals – “from anywhere, not just Balnarring” - will

be invited to set their own pose for a photo within a defi ned area, including a framed wall background at the Ap-pleStick gallery, Balnarring.

“I let them choose their pose, one woman last year did a headstand,” Gordon says. I did another family in their everyday clothes and in their CFA uniforms.”

Gordon takes fi ve photos of each group or individual and then chooses the shots for printing.

There is no charge for Gordon tak-ing the photographs and prints can

be bought at a small cost to cover the staging of the exhibition. The shots they may at some stage be part of a “mass exhibition”.

More than 80 pictures taken at the previous shoots will be displayed inside the gallery from Friday 8 May.

Gordon, who has been a shipwright in the Navy (12 years) and an air con-ditioning mechanic (12 years), says he has been “a photographer all my life”.

“I started taking photos when I was eight, but didn’t become a profes-sional until being employed by the In-

dependent News Group in Hastings.”Nowadays he runs The Biz Photog-

raphy, taking all sorts of social and commercial shots.

The opening of the Balnarring Por-traits exhibition will be 5-7pm Friday 22 May at the AppleStick gallery, next to the CFA in Frankston-Flinders Rd, Balnarring. Musician Marty Nelson-Williams will entertain.

Photos for this year’s project will be taken at the gallery 2-5pm Saturday 23 May and Sunday 24 May. Call Daryl Gordon on 0412 131 492.

ANZAC DAY, HASTINGS AND TYABB

Remembering at dawn

On parade: Miss Galaxy Jessica Martini, left, and Miss Western Port Mikaela Fowler at the Hastings Anzac day parade with Douglas Wright. Above, cubs and scouts delivered a wreath. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

DAWN services were held at Hast-ings, Tyabb and Balnarring to mark the centenary of the ill-fated landings of Australian and New Zealand troops on the beaches at Gallipoli, in Turkey.

Although the Hastings ceremony was smaller than in previous years, many more people turned up later in the morning to watch the parade in High St.

At Tyabb (pictured below) about 600 turned out for the ceremony at the cenotaph near Tyabb Central Recrea-tional Reserve, about 400 more people than in the previous year.

“We were amazed, they just kept coming and coming,” David Chalke, who gave the commemorative ad-dress, said. He said Gary Taylor of

Tyabb, a member of Hastings RSL, “worked tirelessly over the last years to build up the Tyabb ceremony to the moving commemoration we had yesterday”.

The “great gunfi re breakfast” was provided by the 1st Tyabb Scouts and a tribute to Anzac read by Tyabb Primary School’s Will Pinhorn and Alexei Guy-Toogood.

The threat of rain did not appear to impact on the numbers gathering at dawn services and marches in Morn-ington and Rosebud.

In direct contrast to the suffering of the troops, Saturday’s crowds parked their cars and walked to the various ceremonies free of any impending danger. Children proudly wore the

medals of relatives as they approached memorials, letting everybody know the soldiers’ deeds would not be forgotten.

Ironically, while the various speak-ers at the ceremonies gave thanks to the troops for their sacrifi ces in World War I and every confl ict since to en-sure peace at home, police have been warned that they could be the “near” target for modern extremists.

While the uniformed police presence at the Anzac ceremonies elsewhere appeared as normal, one state politician told The News that many more in everyday clothes were mingling with the crowds, keeping a watchful eye for threats of violence on the home front. Keith Platt

A YACHT is among a group of en-tries from the Mornington Peninsula seeking recognition in this year’s Victorian Architecture Awards.

It is the fi rst time a boat has been entered in the awards.

Peninsula-based projects range from a beach house at Portsea and an equestrian centre at Merricks to a boat that resulted from its owners deciding to extend their beach house.

The Portsea beach house and Villa Marittima, St Andrews Beach, are en-tered in the category for new houses; the equestrian centre at Merricks for commercial architecture; a “kids pod” at Merricks and The Jane (yacht) in Sorrento for the small project archi-tecture; and the Mornington Centre Stage 2 for new public architecture.

The yacht, described as a 46 foot Pilot House cruising gaff rigged cut-ter, was the end result of a family’s decision to extend a beach house.

The end result, The Jane, was originally designed in the 1980s by the late Ken Lacco and Tim Phillips (The Wooden Boat Shop, Sorrento), refl ects the cuta boats for which the two boat builders are renowned.

The interior of the eight-berth ves-sel was designed by architect Rodney Eggleston, stepson of Christopher Sinn, who inspired the project by deciding to extend his house.

The hull is made of imported hard-wood carvel planked over steam-bent wooden frames.

Eggleston said he and other design-

Yacht heads for line in awards bid Keith [email protected]

ers from his March Studio used 3D computer modelling of the interior of the hull to provide his stepfather with a visualisation of what was planned.

“The modelling also enabled us to squeeze the most out of the confi ned space and make it feel as spacious as possible,” Eggleston said.

“We show off the hull as much as possible, avoid bulkheads and have joinery hanging off the walls and fol-lowing the curvature of the hull.”

Spot colour paint and brass had been used “on a redwood pallet”.

Although he has “spent much of my life on boats”, The Jane was Egg-leston’s fi rst boat design and he now hopes the opportunity will come to do more boats.

Building The Jane, named after Eggleston’s late mother, was “a

cathartic project – she loved the water too”.

The boat was launched about a year ago, after nearly four years in the making. She was sailed to Hobart for the annual Wooden Boat Festival in January, with Eggleston staying home to await the birth of his second child.

The second stage of the Mornington Centre by the Billard Leece Partner-ship has been entered in the new pub-lic architecture section of this year’s architecture awards.

The centre, off Tyalla Grove in the grounds of the former Mornington High School, is part of the staged development of an integrated centre providing clinical services promoting health and independence for the aged. It includes a 30-bed inpatient ward and an ambulatory care centre.

According to the promoters of the awards the “primary driver” for the building is the suburban coastal context”.

“Both externally and internally in material and form, the building al-ludes to the coastal shack.”

“The building is almost entirely clad in white cypress timber with deeper battens that accentuate texture and provide differing patterns across the length of the facade.

“The inpatient ward was designed specifi cally for the memory impaired, with an average length of stay of ap-proximately 28 days.

“A new model of ward layout was developed. Building off the racetrack model, two internal courtyards were introduced. In close visual and physi-cal proximity to staff, these courtyards

allow patients to wander freely while still being safely supervised.”

At Merricks a new equestrian centre by Seth Stein Architects (London) in association with Watson Architec-ture + Design (Melbourne) has been entered in the commercial architecture awards section.

The 1000 square metre complex on an undulating site is framed with prefabricated laminated timber.

The building’s water management system allows for more than one mil-lion litres of water to be harvested on an average year’s rainfall.

Shortlisted candidates will be an-nounced in May, entries exhibited in early June and winners announced at a presentation dinner on Friday 26 June. The awards are run by the Australian Institute of Architects.

REVISED Arthurs Seat Skylift gondo-la plans received a reluctant green light from shire councillors last Wednesday night, but with some suggested chang-es – a new colour for the gondolas and reservations about the location of her-itage objects, which Skylift initially proposed to house inside the summit station.

The matters may be negotiated with the applicant.

Other changes Skylift wants appear likely to reduce costs. They included removing a toilet block from the bot-tom station – and thus off the Skylift budget – on to public land and deletion of several original design features.

After the meeting, several members of the Save Our Seat anti-gondola group said they would go back to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) on 20-21 May, es-pecially about the new height of the gondola pylons. Some are four metres taller than shown on the original plans, they said.

They accused some councillors of not fully understanding their role in “secondary consent” decision-making on a VCAT decision.

Secondary consent allows councillors to decide on matters that do not result in transformation of a proposal; do not authorise something for which primary consent is required; are of no conse-quence; and are not contrary to a spe-cifi c requirement of the VCAT permit.

SOS members oppose the degree to

which they say Skylift dominates the Arthurs Seat escarpment and summit, which they say will create substantial visual pollution of Arthurs Seat.

During the council meeting a ripple of mirth in the gallery greeted shire planner Niall Sheehy’s defence of the proposed red gondolas, which he ar-gued would “complement” the Arthurs Seat landscape. Councillors are seek-ing grey, green or blue.

The shire planner report to council-lors makes reference to several other changes, which it describes variously as “minor” (a 70 per cent change), “inconsequential” (a 34.62 per cent change) and “very minor” (a 17.79 per cent change).

Senior planner Lucas Gardiner said the extra land for the corridor under the gondola path was needed for cabling and

piping between the top and bottom sta-tions but further tree removal or pruning would not necessarily be required.

Mr Gardiner said the applicant told council the colour “was refl ective of the chairlift” ... it’s how you read it in the landscape”. The gondola “edge el-ements” were red, but most of the car was tinted Perspex or the open frame of the car, he said.

The revised plans required council approval but councillors were told they were restricted in what changes they could make to the VCAT permit.

Changes sought – and approved – to the top station included moving the kitchen and deleting the coolroom of the cafe; deleting the information/his-tory gallery; increasing the amount of glass in the west and north walls; changing the “biowood” façade to ver-

tical metal cladding; and reducing the building’s footprint by fi ve per cent.

At the lower station Skylift proposed deletion of the lower forecourt; remov-al of the “amenities block” (toilets) to Parks Victoria land; deletion of a wall, to be replaced by a 45-degree slope; re-moval of the information centre, to be replaced with a “slim-line information wall”; deletion of a fi rst fl oor offi ce; and reduction of the gondola storage area by 5.5 per cent.

Skylift also proposed cutting the lower station footprint by 26.3 per cent and changing the façade from pre-cast concrete to vertical metal sheets.

The shire, as the responsible authori-ty, will be back in VCAT in May, when the tribunal will adjudicate on whether to accept councillors’ amendments to the Skylift permit.

DROMANA resident and shire council-lor Graham Pittock is off to Ireland in June, at the invitation of the matriarch of the 21st generation of FitzGeralds to occupy the land on which Dromana House stands.

Cr Pittock and his wife Prue will, with the FitzGerald descendants, celebrate 800 years of continuous occu-pancy of the land on which the splendid new house stands, high above the River Blackwater near Lismore in County Waterford, southeast Ireland.

The invitation reads: “Your township is named after our demesne and this unique link in history creates an impor-tant link, for you and for us.” It came personally from clan head “Barbara (Villiers-Stuart) Grubb”.

(A demesne is a piece of land at-tached to a manor and retained by the owner for their own use.)

“We remember with gratitude the way you honoured us at the time of ... Victoria’s 150th year celebration,” she writes. “We are aware that you, person-ally, on behalf of Dromana township and your Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, chose to honour us in this way. ...The beautifully crafted plaque [from the shire] has a prominent place on our walls.”

In Irish history terms, the house is quite new, a residence begun in the 1780s to replace Dromana castle, badly damaged in the wars of the 1640s and 1650s. The castle had been built in about 1200. Dromana House is now self-catering accommodation, set in

extensive gardens and featuring an ancient outer fortifi cation, boathouse and slipway to the fi sh-rich Blackwa-ter. Parts of the castle foundations are visible from the river.

Intriguingly, Cr Pittock’s invita-tion requests “that you take an active and special role at some stage in the commemoration”. What could it be? Is it to do with a tree? Barbara (Villiers-Stuart) Grubb remains enigmatically silent. And so must this chronicler.

But there is an event in the family’s past that may be celebrated, possibly with the aid of Cr Pittock. And the story may contain a clue.

It involves Katherine FitzGerald,

Countess of Desmond (c.1504-1604), known by writers of the period includ-ing Sir Walter Raleigh as “the old Countess of Desmond”, who, it is said, lived to 120 years and more – some say 140. Some less romantically inclined say a mere 100 years. Let’s take the Irish option and assert she made it to 140.

She met her end, so the story goes, after falling from a tree. Some say it was a nut. Others say a cherry up which she had shinned to gather fruit. But more of the countess, tough as a nut. Earlier than the tree episode, and widowed, she had faced eviction from the home her husband had left her. Sir

Walter Raleigh, New England colonist and promoter of tobacco, owned the premises in which she lived. A Sir Richard Boyle bought the place and began eviction proceedings against her.

Undaunted, the countess sailed from Cork to Bristol in 1604 then walked to London to take steps to protect her interests. The unlikely legend says she made the trip with her invalid 90-year-old daughter, also named Katherine, trailing behind in a small cart. Towed by her mother? Legend does not say.

Her petition presented to James I, she returned home and met her maker later that year. She is believed to be buried, with her husband, in a Franciscan

Friary at Youghal, at the mouth of the Blackwater.

No doubt Cr Pittock will enlighten us on the nature of the “active and special role” he will be asked to undertake while in Ireland, his memory sharp-ened by copious toasts taken in pints of gat (Guinness). All he would say was that he will be seated at the celebration between two dukes.

He will be well placed to pass on some Australian legends to the Irish gentry and a fi ne night will be had by all, at all. Ned Kelly is sure to get a run, along with William Buckley. And the Gary Abletts, snr and jnr, both pass-able exponents of Gaelic football.

Naming rights: Existing links between Dromana House in Ireland and the same-named township on the Mornington Peninsula will be further strengthened when Graham and Prue Pittock travel to the Emerald Isle for a FitzGerald family celebration.

THE fi nal winding up of the fi nan-cial affairs of the organisation be-hind the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga, Mt Eliza, could depend on “litigation fl owing” from allegations against its former spiritual leader, Rus-sell Kruckman, also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji.

Paul Burness and Con Kokkinos of Worrells Solvency & Forensic Ac-countants were last week appointed voluntary liquidators of the troubled Shiva Yoga Inc.

Mr Burness on Saturday said the tim-ing of the winding up of the organisa-tion would be determined by the “litiga-

tion fl owing” and contingent liabilities.Once fi nalised, the liquidation will

see the end of an organisation that has been a signifi cant part of the Mt Eliza community for the past 25 years.

As well as running a cafe in the vil-lage its Saturday night gatherings, or satsangs, were regularly attended by more than 350 people, including resi-dents of the ashram at 27 Tower Rd.

The decision to wind up the organi-sation behind the ashram follows last December’s announcement by the school that its leader had “secret sex-ual relations with a number of women from the ashram community”; police are investigating allegations of sexual assault; and a class action announced by St Kilda lawyer Angela Sdrinis.

Mr Burness said Shiva Yoga owned three properties near the ashram, two in Petrel Ave and one in Clendon Close. They are collectively valued at just under $3 million, although one has a mortgage.

The most valuable property con-nected to the yoga school, the ash-ram in Tower Rd, is owned by Swami Shankarananda and is not subject to the liquidation.

Financial statements for the tax-ex-empt Shiva Yoga Inc to the year ended June 2014 show $1.38m has been spent improving the ashram building and lists Swami Shankarananda as having loaned the organisation $373,508. The statements show “retained earnings” of $2.9m.

Mr Burness said Swami Shankarananda had placed caveats dated 22 April 2015 on the titles on one of Shiva Yoga’ Petrel Ave properties in and the one in Clarendon Close.

A further caveat had been lodged on the title of the Tower Rd property by Shiva Meditation Inc in 2005.

Mr Burness said his appointment by members of Shiva Yoga was preceded by a Declaration of Solvency lodged with Consumer Affairs Victoria outlin-ing that the association was in a posi-tion to pay all creditors in full within 12 months of the winding up.

“I am cognisant of the allegations against the ashram and would be deal-ing with all potential claims as part of the liquidation process.”

IT may have started as a pure fl ight of fancy, and has developed into one of the most successful marketing and branding exercises the world has known, but there seems no end to epic that is Star Wars.

The movies have been shown (repeatedly), merchandise made, costumes worn, snatches of dialogue endlessly swapped and still the lure of time and travel seems infi nite.

Like space, the story of the Star Wars phenomena seems to have no outer limits.

Next week’s May the Fourth Be With You Day is being as eagerly anticipated around the globe as the staged releases of the Star Wars mov-ies.

Mark Sherrard-Griffi th happily admits to being one of the worldwide network of Stars Wars fans.

His family knows it and his wife, Prue, was left in no doubt what she has signing up for when they were married. When the screening of multiple Star Wars movies during last year’s May The Fourth Be With You Day coincided with a Michael Buble concert Mr Sherrard-Griffi th was forced to do his own shuttle: Knox for the movie marathon, back to Morn-ington for Prue and then Melbourne for the concert.

Last year’s May The Fourth Be With You Day saw Darth Vader and Stormtroopers appearing at AFL games and clubs selling out of spe-cially printed shirts.

Keith [email protected]

This year coincides with the release of the second teaser trailer of a new Star Wars fi lm and all major toy stores planning commemorative May The Fourth Be With You Day releases of limited edition items.

As recently as two weeks ago Mr

Sherrard-Griffi th’s mother was texting and sending photos of Star Wars items she had spotted while shopping. Despite him replying that they were already part of his 1000 plus piece collection, his mother returned with $200 to secure the “bargains”.

But the best bargain of all was not fully appreciated until a few weeks ago when Mr Sherrard-Griffi th confi rmed that a Darth Vader mask he bought for $20 in 2009 was probably worth $10,000.

The mask had been brought to

Australia by an American (who Mr Sherrard-Griffi th met when he delivered a mattress made, of course, with space-age materials) who, when entering the house, remarked “so, you’re a Star Wars fan?”, adding that he had a mask.

The deal was made with the deliv-eryman saying the $20 would pay for his lunch.

“I wasn’t intending to take him for a ride,” Mr Sherrard-Griffi th says. “It was only a few weeks ago I saw it had 20th Century Fox 1977 hand scratched inside.”

Investigation overseas proved the mask to be one of three or four that were handmade by Don Post for design approval by Star Wars director George Lucas.

“My collection also includes a life size Jawa and Darth Maul, handmade pieces, unopened vintage fi gures from 1983, a factory sealed-in-box vehicle from 1984, which is worth a mint, and many other fantastic items.”

Mr Sherrard-Griffi th acknowledges the ever increasing commercialisation of Star Wars but sees it also as being “fan made and I’m happy to go along for the ride”.

The 40-year-old Mornington real estate agent (Ufi rst) has $300 lightsa-bers – “not those dinky ones” - and a collection of fi gures in glass-fronted cabinets that he tells young relatives “probably come out to play at night”.

And does he feel secure sleeping with all that intergalactic activity hap-pening just outside his bedroom door?

“Of course, I always sleep with blaster by my side.”

Time and space have no end for Star Wars fans

A GROUP of peninsula artists is promoting art as the 'third leg' of peninsula tourism to join the region's well-established food and wine industries.

They have set up Red Artists Gallery, a show-case for the work of artists, sculptors, printmak-ers and jewellery makers at Red Hill South in part of the former post offi ce building. (The PO moved next door to the Cellar & Pantry store last July.)

One of the group, sculptor Jean Sheridan, said Red Hill was the hub of one of Victoria's most creative communities.

"We have more artists, sculptors, printmakers and jewellery makers per head of population than in any of Melbourne's inner suburbs," she said.

"They are producing work across the whole spectrum – from expensive and durable art to playful, creative trinkets – and this should be an asset to the region."

She said the gallery was an "Aladdin's cave of local art and artefacts".

"There is towering sculpture transforming a branching tree into an AFL footballer going for a mark. The walls are covered in an array of paint-ings and prints, and the counters and fl oor space

host everything from jewellery and clothing to handmade cards," Ms Sheridan said.

"We wanted to refl ect the creative energy of the region as well as do something for the next generation of artists. One of our goals is to support school programs and sponsor promising artists to further their art education."

The gallery opens onto the deck of Red Hill Bakery. "We hope the diversity of the displays will attract people, helping to create a new tour-ist hub."

The group includes Ms Sheridan as well as Ann-Heather White (painter), Warren Cooke (a printmaker who also exhibits drawings and clothing), Nick Robertson (artist and printmak-er), Neil Uren (wooden toys, lights and pictures), Andrea Jenkins (painter), Alf Evans (artist and printmaker), Lisa Warrington (glass blower) and Margaret Peppard who runs workshops and develops public art.

Seven other local artists supply paintings, drawings, sculptures, jewellery, clothing and leatherwork.

"Most of the key artists have had shows at mainstream galleries, but this is the fi rst time we've been able to bring all their work together locally," Ms Sheridan said.

By Lance HodginsHASTINGS Football Club recently established their Hall of Fame with the induction of ten men who have been star players and administrators over the past 100 years. Some of these inductees have passed on, and their awards were received on their behalf by family members.

Richard Francis was one such recipient who stood out from the rest because he accepted TWO awards – one for his father and one for his grandfather. Richard was a Hast-ings team-mate of mine in the 60’s and, although I knew his father from those days, it was his grandfather, Bert Francis, who held the greater fascination.

Bert was a record-holding gun shearer, who played his fi rst senior game for Hastings at the age of 22 - and was an instant star. Four years later, the 26 year-old “rookie” played a handful of games at Melbourne but then threw in League football for the simple “bush” life.

He played on at Hastings for another decade, frequently serving as their best player, administrator and delegate. Shortly before his death in 1958 Bert Francis was manning the gate at Hastings home games with the same ferocity and determination that characterised his playing days.

This is his story.***Herbert J Francis was born a city

boy on 26 June 1885. His father, Charles, was a plasterer in Mel-bourne’s booming building trade and he had married Mary Smith, the daughter of a Flinders fi sherman.

Soon after, the family unit was disrupted by the West Australian gold rushes. Recognizing that the boy needed a mother, Charles sent young Bert to live with the family of his brother-in-law Fred Floyd, a fi sherman at Hastings. By 14 years of age Bert had his own boat called the Chance, and fi shed under the guid-ance of his uncle.

Bert showed a natural talent for sports soon after he arrived in Hast-ings. In 1898 he competed in the Tyabb annual picnic footrace for 10-12 year boys and ran third. About 300 people had gathered on a fi ne January day to witness a good afternoon of log chopping, a married vs single men tug of war and children’s races.

A record crowd attended the Hast-ings Boxing Day Sports and Regatta in 1902. The 16 year-old Bert came second in the handicap swimming race and, in the following year, he won it. At the 1904 sports meeting 500 spectators saw Bert, now 18, earn some real money – 10/- fi rst prize for riding the greasy barrel and 5/- for a second to footballer Will Perriam in the 100 yards swim.

Bert was living under the same roof in the Floyd household as his cousins – Fred jr. and Albert – and when the three boys hit land together they played football and cricket for hours on end. By the time they were men, Bert “Pompey” Francis and Fred “Nipper” Floyd began an era that was to place them on the playing fi eld throughout the glory years of the Hastings Football Club. For the fi rst two decades of the twentieth century, “Pompey” and “Nipper” were household names and the giants of the game.

Bert Francis was 22 years old be-fore he played his fi rst senior game of football, pulling on the blue and white colours of the Hastings Football Club in 1908 in a practice match against Somerville. He immediately showed good form.

The team had been struggling to

regain the brilliance which had won it the fl ag three years earlier. Now, appearing alongside such fi ne play-ers as Floyd, Incigneri, Carmichael, Amendola, Perriam and Hobden, Bert was frequently amongst the best play-ers throughout the 1908 season.

Hastings swept all before it and fi nished on top of the ladder – until it reached the fi nals where it was trundled out by Somerville who, in turn, were beaten by Frankston. When Hastings tried to assert its “right of challenge” as the minor premiers, Frankston refused to take the fi eld and Hastings, including Bert Francis, were offi cially declared the Premiers by the Peninsula Football Associa-tion.

Bert was surprisingly missing from the Hastings premiership season of 1909 and it was reported that he and George Hobden would be back for the Hastings attempt on the fl ag the following year. Family folklore has it that this was the year in which Bert made a name for himself in New Zea-land as a top cricketer, record-break-ing shearer and wild game hunter.

1910 saw a healthy competition with teams from Somerville, Morn-ington, Frankston, Balnarring, Sor-rento, Dromana and Tyabb. Hastings

fi nished on top, due in no small part to the fi ne play of the “burly Hastings follower” Francis, who made his presence felt with several goals and a tendency to “air his grievances in a loud manner”. Hastings defeated Frankston in a very wet Grand Final and Pompey Francis was adjudged “easily the best, playing a wonder-fully good game – handling the ball, marking, and kicking in a way that was surprising under the wet and slip-pery conditions”.

This was followed in 1911 by a year that Pompey Francis would never forget – for a number of reasons.

He continued to be a star player for Hastings, even standing in as captain for the injured Jim Wilson. Despite his prominence on the fi eld each week, Bert held down the position of Club Secretary in a competitive and volatile league, and he was often called upon to fi ght for his Club’s rights. This included an appearance in Frankston Police Court as a char-acter witness for one his players who was accused of offensive behaviour after a match.

In another case when his team mate C Sposito was accused of lacking the residential requirements, Bert sprang to his defence in the local press – ex-

plaining that as Sposito ran the mail service to French Island, there were times when the weather meant that he could not return safely to Hastings, and he frequently slept on his an-chored boat. Both Sposito and Francis continued to be prominent players for the Blue and Whites.

Towards the end of 1911, Francis was selected in a combined Peninsula to play the Fitzroy League team at Mornington. The other Hastings play-ers chosen were Jim Wilson, Andy Amendola and Harry Kerr.

Although the Hastings team had a depth of talent, their success seemed heavily infl uenced by Bert’s form. When Bert played well, the team did well. A bad day against Mornington led to Hastings being uncharacteristi-cally drubbed at home by almost 70 points.

In 1911, Hastings fi nished second on the ladder and were the underdogs behind Frankston, who had beaten them both times during the season. Hastings stormed through their semi-fi nal against Balnarring, and in the grand fi nal against Frankston were three goals up at half time. Frankston clawed back and during the fi nal quarter it was anybody’s game. Hast-ings regained the lead late in the last quarter, but Francis – who was not playing his usual game – gave away a free kick to Pettit, who scored a beautiful 50 yard goal from the wing to give Frankston the game and the premiership.

For years afterwards, Bert’s mates would rib him about how he had cost Hastings the fl ag in 1911 which broke a string of premierships that started in 1908 and ended in 1914.

1912 was equally memorable for Bert. He began the year as Hast-ings secretary and treasurer in a strong Club headed by president J D Hodgins. Almost immediately, however, it seemed that Hastings were to lose one of their key players – “Pompey” Francis was headed to the big time.

On 29th April 1912, Bert ran onto the MCG in the number 13 jersey for Melbourne in front of 10,500 people. The 26 year old six-footer did not look out of place in a team noted by the press of the day for its over-whelming size and maturity, and the Demons ran out winners by almost 5 goals.

Bert not only kept his place in the team but he contributed to another win the following week with a goal against University. He missed the next two rounds in which Melbourne were beaten by Geelong and South Melbourne, but returned to the team for a win against Carlton in Round 5.

The June holiday weekend saw League teams play on the Saturday and then back up for another game on the Monday. Bert played in both of these which were losses to Fitzroy and Essendon. This did little to daunt Bert’s enthusiasm for high class football, as he had now played four games on the MCG for three wins.

Soon after, however, Bert dropped a bombshell when he announced that he wanted to quit and return “home”. Although connections at Melbourne FC had found him a good job at an Abbotsford abattoir, life in the city was not for Bert and he yearned for the prospect of clearing his 40 acres of bush and establishing an orchard at Hastings.

In 1912, without Bert Francis, Hastings remained undefeated on top of the ladder, having had convincing wins against the other three teams in the competition: Frankston, Somer-ville and Mornington. The Peninsula Football Association rejected an

application from Hastings for Bert to play in the fi nals that year, re-assert-ing the rule that you needed to play at least three home and away matches to qualify for the fi nals.

Bert had to sit and watch as Hast-ings blacksmith Len Incigneri, the former Richmond captain, led the Blues into the fi nals. Spearheaded by Bert’s cousin Nipper Floyd and Hughie Carmichael, the Blues took out a torrid grand fi nal against Frankston and started another string of three premierships.

1913 began without Incigneri but fi nally included Francis, who was playing with great vigour, scoring goals and even getting reported for “rough play”. In a competition ex-panded by the inclusion of Dromana and the Naval Depot, Hastings presented one of its best sides of all time and were unbeaten for the 1913 fl ag. Even then, delegate Bert and the Club President Jim Hodgins had to weather a storm of protest at the fi nal Association meeting against the inclusion of Incigneri who had missed some matches throughout the season to go on holidays to Tasmania.

In 1914 Hastings fi nished on top of the ladder but were unexpectedly beaten by Mornington in their semi-fi nal. Asserting their right to chal-lenge, the Blues went on to win their third consecutive fl ag with brilliant play from Pompey Francis, Nipper Floyd, Dobbin Reid and Hughie Carmichael. At the end of the year a combined Peninsula team, including Francis and fi ve of his Hastings team mates, played the Essendon League team in an exhibition match at the Frankston oval.

Eight teams lined up on the Peninsula despite the gathering war clouds of 1915. Bert was still a star for Hastings but many of their players had enlisted in the war and they made a slow start to the season. The Blues were just starting to get it together when the Association decided to cut short the season in mid-July and begin playing fi nals.

Hastings defeated the Naval Base by 2 points but were then nipped by the soldier team, the Langwarrin Guards, who were given the winning point after a dispute between the boundary and goal umpires.

Hastings’ run of premierships had been halted, and Bert Francis was only one of many footballers who had to sit out the next three years whilst more important contests were taking place on foreign shores.

May 10th 1919 marked the resump-tion of football to the Mornington Peninsula after the Great War. Pompey Francis returned as a del-egate and a player for the Blues, but he and his cousin Nipper Floyd were now surrounded by a new entourage of team mates. After a slow start, they led their team to second on the ladder, and then succumbed in their semi-fi nal to the eventual premiers, Frankston.

When the 1920 season rolled around, Bert was a spectator for the fi rst few rounds - and some-one suggested this was due to the “cricket season which had stiffened his joints”. Many of the footballers played cricket in the summer and Bert was no exception, proving to be handy with both bat and ball.

It was not long, however, before he was featuring among the best players under his new captain, the equally venerable Nipper Floyd. Both were prominent in the preliminary fi nal against Frankston, but the team was well beaten.

Hastings reached the fi nals of the 1921 footy season and everyone

marvelled at the longevity of the “Big Three”: Francis, Carmichael and Floyd. They continued their promi-nence throughout the fi nal series where the Blues beat Frankston but fi nally fell to Carrum in the grand fi nal.

Bert had stepped up as President of the Hastings Football Club and he surprised everybody by putting in another sterling season as a player throughout 1922. It was a fairly ordi-nary season for the Blues, however, and they had even more trouble rais-ing a team in 1923. Bert had fi nally decided to hang up his boots, but he stayed on as the Club President.

Bert was now nearly 40 years of age, and he enjoyed his cricket over the next few years alongside his cousin Nipper Floyd, Donnie Knox and Digger Langholz. He was Presi-dent of the Hastings Cricket Club and he also served on the committee of the Peninsula Cricket Association.

Throughout the 1930s Bert main-tained a close connection with the Hastings Football Club as a vice president and also as a Club delegate to the Peninsula Football Association.

When Hastings came from behind to win the premiership in 1934, the health of the old players was toasted by JD Hodgins, who recalled 45 years of Hastings football. At three quarter time in the grand fi nal, when all ap-peared lost, he looked at the team and saw the progeny of many of the club’s old players and felt that there was still hope.

His toast was responded to by none other than Bert Francis who said that he was pleased that the old spirit had prevailed this season, particularly in the last quarter of the grand fi nal when the team was “up against it”. He recalled how travelling to matches was quite different today to what it

was in the old days when the team had to leave at 8 o’clock in the morn-ing to go to Sorrento and had to walk up the hills to rest the horses.

In his later years, Bert Francis remained an ardent supporter of the

Hastings Football Club and was proud to hand over the reins to his son Norm, who continued the Francis tradition of lengthy service both on and off the fi eld for the Blues.

His grandson Richard was selected

in Hastings’ Team of the Decade for the 1960s. He was a young teenager in the 1950s and he smiles when he remembers “the crusty old man on the gate at the Hastings Park who never let anyone get past him without paying!”

Bert “Pompey” Francis died just after his 73rd birthday in 1958 and left a legacy of brilliance, and a tradi-tion of family service to the Hastings Football Club that will be probably never be seen again.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

New motor garage for FrankstonNew motor garage for FrankstonCompiled by Melissa Walsh

MR and Mrs Trenchard have de-cided to continue their residence in Frankston for the winter months.

***MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti, on Monday next, when a good yarding of cattle and sheep is advertised.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason’s bi-weekly produce market at Frankston, will be held on Wednesday afternoon next.

***DURING last week Mr W. West, storekeeper, Violet Town, and Mr D. Crothers, contractor, of Rushworth, visited Frankston, and each bought a building allotment in Petrie St Frankston.

***A POST offi ce pillar box has been erected at the Mile Bridge, Frankston, for the convenience of those residents living in that locality. It will be cleared every morning at 8.45 o’clock.

***THE Mornington Football Club sent a team to try conclusions with Frankston last Saturday, but the locals were unable to raise a full team to play on their own ground, and consequently suffered defeat at the hands of the visitors. It is intended to play a return match at Mornington this afternoon.

***

DRIVER Young, who is in Egypt with the First Australian Expeditionary Force, writes that he has seen Kenny Webb, Lou Cole, the Meldrom Bros, and several other Peninsula lads, and that they are all doing well, and are ea-gerly awaiting orders that will enable them to get in the actual fi ring line.

***MR Victor Evans, the newly ap-pointed expert for the Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary Ltd., has taken up his residence in Frankston, and has already made a host of friends. This company has accepted the agency for the Mornington Peninsula of the well-known Buick cars, and are about to build an up-to-date garage in Morning-ton, where Mr Bradbury is at present representing the company.

***ONE of the oldest identities of the district died at her residence, William Street, Frankston, on Monday last, in the person of Mrs Grace McComb, in her 88th year.

The remains were interred in the Frankston Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, being followed to the grave by a large number of relatives and friends. An extended notice will ap-pear in our next week’s issue.

***THE Hon treasurer of the Frankston Patriotic Fund (Dr Plowman) desires to acknowledge the receipt from Langwarrin of the handsome sum of £9 as a contribution to the above fund. It comprises the net proceeds of a

concert held at Langwarrin £5 12s and the following donations: Mr and Mrs A. Corlett 1 guinea, Mr C S. Corlett 1 guinea, Mr J. Arbbibald 10s, a friend 10s, and Mr H. Oates 10s.

***THE contractor for Mr Allan W. Tay-lor’s new motor garage, at the corner of Wells Street and Melbourne Road, Frankston, is making good progress with his work. He has the foundations laid, and expects to have the build-ing erected in about six weeks. Mr Taylor wishes it to be understood that he is trading under the style of “The Frankston Motor Garage” and must not be mistaken for the “Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary Ltd”.

***A VERY successful concert was held in the Pearcedale Hall on the evening of Tuesday, April 27th, under the aus-pices of the Church of England.

A strong committee had been at work for some weeks previously straining every nerve in order to bring the concert to a successful issue.

When the programme opened the whole of the seating accommodation was occupied and many persons were standing in the porch.

The programme opened with the Belgian and Russian National An-thems rendered by a group of the State school children under the conductor-ship of Mr R. Hobbs, the head teacher.

This item gripped the attention of the audience, and combined with the Union Jack which over-shadowed the stage, set the tone for the evening’s

entertainment, and the programme comprised talent from Somerville and Prahran. Every item had its own interest and contributed to the splendid success of the whole.

Owing to some unfortunate circum-stances four of the expected perform-ers failed to arrive, but the ready re-sponse of the local and visiting artists present enabled the programme to be staged in its full number of items.

The promoters of the concert accord their thanks to everyone, both artists and patrons, for their contributions to the success of the evening. After sup-per had been partaken of, dancing was indulged in for an hour or two.

***IT is with much regret we have to announce the death at the Melbourne Hospital on April 23rd of Mr Alfred Clark, so well known throughout this district where he had resided for the last forty years.

Deceased had only recently become an inmate of the hospital and up to within an hour of his death seemed to be progressing favorably. The funeral which started from Frankston on the arrival of the 3 o’clock train was at-tended by a large number of mourners.

The Rev R. Jackson read the burial service and Sister Fitzgerald of the Salvation Army spoke very feelingly of the Christian life led by deceased, a life full of example to others.

The late Mr Clark was 47 years of age and leaves a widow, young daugh-ter and an adopted son to mourn their great loss, which will also be felt in

many ways in this district as deceased was actively connected with all good work being a prominent member of the Methodist Church and Salvation Army, a member of the school com-mittee and one of the oldest members of the Progress Association.

***DRIVER A. G. Young, of the First Expeditionary Force, writes under date 28th March: As you will see by ad-dress on this letter we are still at Mena. We are kept jolly busy though, and it is hard to get even a few minutes to oneself. It is Palm Sunday today, and I am just back from a Church Parade, and we have a little while off before going to stables.

It is a brute of a day today, blowing a treat, and the sand is fl ying every-where. It is getting hotter every day too, and the fl ies are enough to make you sick.

We have been expecting to get orders to move any day, but, as I said before, here we are. We have been on a three days’ trek this week, and only arrived home yesterday.

One day as we were going along the road, we were at- tacked by some light horse, and we had to take out our horses and get them under cover and then have a go at the enemy. We gave them slops (with blank cartridge) but I guess it will be jolly different with real bullets fl ying about.

AUCTIONTHIS SATURDAY


The flags at our office were flown at half-mast last Monday to mark the passing of our beloved Commercial Property Manager, Yvonne Taylor.

Yvonne was a highly valued member of our team for over 7 years and worked closely with our founder and director Chris Watt to build a large Commercial and Industrial property management portfolio. She specialised in Commercial Property

management since she commenced her real estate career in 1999.

Always eager to learn, Yvonne undertook the study to obtain her Certificate IV in property services through the Real Estate Institute of Victoria where she was a member for over 10 years. Together with two other staff and with the support of Chris, Yvonne stayed back at the office one night per week during 2012 to complete the course, finally obtaining her full Estate

Agents License on 10th June 2013.

Always willing to “asept” a new challenge, when the opportunity to manage several Owners Corporations presented itself, Yvonne volunteered to learn the Strata Master management software and attended many courses on the subject.

Last year she considered undertaking the Diploma of Conveyancing course being conducted by the Institute.

Yvonne always put the interests of our business first, even to the point of persuading a close friend and fellow experienced Commercial Property Manager to fill her roll when she left to undergo treatment earlier this year.

Operating a small business is like being in a family and Yvonne was certainly the big sister of our office and the go to person for all our younger staff who respected and cherished Yvonne’s professional expertise and personal counsel.

Apart from her successful career in real estate, Yvonne was a dedicated and loving daughter, wife, sister, mother and grandmother. She is survived by her mother Shirley, husband Noel, brothers Gary and Kelvin, daughter Nicki and

grandchildren Milla and Poppy who were the apples of nannas eye. Yvonne will be sorely missed and always remembered.

Our sympathies are with all her family at this time.

fi nancial adviser. They’re not all crooks obviously, although why people go to them is beyond me. Save your money and listen to Paul Clitheroe. A new Register of Finan-cial Advisors? That should fi x it; no worries.

***Medical establishments and the culture of males are males? Some are bastards and will never change; ditto to a lesser extent some females abusing female staff on the lower echelons. Happens everywhere no matter the profession, but worry not you harassed lot. The Royal Aus-tralasian College of Surgeons has ap-pointed a high profi le group (police, health and discrimination experts) to examine this culture within its ranks. No more harassment and bullying, and I’m Mary Poppins. What is a discrimination expert? My bet is it’s

another name for psychologists?***

Ignore anything containing the words “interim report”...Richie Benaud, the conscience of the Channel 9 cricket commentators, gone, sadly never to be replaced...The AFL Players Association want a seat at the forthcoming broadcast-ing negotiations.

TREASURER Joe is at it again re Apple, Google and Microsoft profi ts but it’s no big deal because nobody believes Joe’s “everything is on the table” rot. Grandstanding with fi rst class honours is his forte. Senator Nick Xenophon is doing Joe’s work aided and abetted by darling Senator Christine Milne; nice, but mostly hot air. Assuming we eventually get a Labor government we will get Chris Bowen, quieter surely, but oh so boring. Billy as an alternative Prime Minister? It doesn’t sit; maybe Mark Dreyfus or Tanya Plibersek? Labor will stick with Billy and Tony’s latest efforts at the “good bloke” pronouncements (ice, defence, budget ) allows Billy no option but to agree, so we wait for a clearer picture on Tony’s real agenda. He surely has a team of aides sifting out safe television options which Billy cannot criticise. Ho hum.

***Perhaps I was misinformed? When Joe said he was having “a fair dinkum conversation with the Australian people” I waited day and night at the Rye RSL for Joe to lob. Eventually, in desperation, I went to the bettertax.gov.au website and of course lost my way. Apparently this is where “a conversation with the nation” takes place? Likewise Billy mumbled “big ideas and policies; detailed community consultations”. Again, no show on the peninsula?

***I’m advised it only takes one nasty pastie to report me and I must un-dergo a driving test. If I fail it’s bye bye to my Corolla and hello to a legion of like people dependant on our third world bus service and the necessity of leaving 3 hours earlier for a medical appointment some 10 kilometres away to ensure punc-

tuality. I’m advised we have taxis, not that I’ve ever spotted one, but according to others it’s up to a 90 minute wait and sometimes no show at all. There’s a radius structure apparently (within 4 kilometres of the Rosebud hospital?} and lesser taxis due to a loosening of previous restrictions. Should we approach Danny Andrews? Sorry. He doesn’t know we exist; no railway crossings on the Mornington Peninsula. The moral? Trust not our government. Send in a complaint; receive a com-forting shrug.

***The Age (11/4) included an advertis-ing liftout from Chemist Warehouse entitled “Wellness”. For Health Conscious Crusaders (and budding stand-up comics) there’s gold in those 32 pages. Full marks to the genius who thought up the idea of colouring books to relieve work-place stress. Forget the cup of tea, settle down with your crayons and fi sh oil; 15 minutes later - bingo!

***More than half the complimentary medicines investigated by drug regulators have been found to breach drug rules by making dodgy claims about their products. Friends of Science in Medicine president John Dwyer said the problem was that unlike medicines, complementary and alternative prod-ucts were allowed to be sold without proving their effi cacy. How about smoking causing blind-ness, or harm to unborn babies, or for that matter passive smoking? Obesity is the latest big danger. The rate of obesity has increased almost in direct proportion to the number of people forced to stop smoking be-cause of the Sheriff of Nottingham tax increases and increased panic

attacks. Propaganda and brainwash-ing are alive and well. If I stopped smoking and ate more broccoli it may buy me more time, albeit the inevitability of death?

***Confusing? How are vaccinated children in danger from non-vacci-nated, and if it’s so important why have religious exemptions? Is it the savings, again only affecting poorer people, or is it just me?

***The mysterious Trans Pacifi c Part-nership Agreement (TPP)? Appar-ently too important to Australia to let us into the fi ne print with Trade Minister Andrew Robb in the driv-ing seat, involving pharmaceuticals, copyrights and many other agree-ments. Who would I place my trust in: former HSU union leader Kathy Jackson or Andrew Robb? Conun-drum? Of benefi t to consumers?

***Metadata: Attorney-General George Brandis says “we have to keep one step ahead of people who try to use technology for malevolent purposes”. Christopher Pyne says “There has to be a case going on and there will be senior people involved in all those decisions”. Yes, and all upstanding citizens? Benny Franklin says “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little se-curity will deserve neither and lose both”. Did Billy (now you see him now you don’t) Shorten object? No way. He was in China. I’m already under scrutiny - I checked out Nem-butal on Google.

***A gentle sigh as I see or read another story of bad fi nancial advice. My personal hunch is of people feeling a sense of importance in having a

CNR NEPEAN HWY & DAVEYS ST FRANKSTON - 9783 7255 [email protected] | WWW.DAVEYS.COM.AU | WWW.FB.COM/DAVEYSHOTEL

FROM HARD HAT TO CHEF’S HATBy Melissa Walsh

MasterChef 2014 winner, Brent Owens, talks to MINT Magazine about life as a MasterChef, book writing, travel, and a gig he’s doing at Daveys Hotel in Frankston.

1.HOW WAS THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING ON MASTERCHEF FOR YOU?Being on MasterChef was amazing. It was intense and extremely stressful but equally rewarding. It’s not something you ever think you’ll be a part of let alone winning so I can’t take that for granted.

2. WHAT WAS THE HARDEST AND BEST PART OF BEING ON THE SHOW?It was hard, I’m not going to lie. Being away from your family and loved ones is never easy, but adding in the stress and constant anxiety, it becomes incredibly diffi cult. So many highlights that cripple the negatives. Meeting an amazing group of people, learning so much in such a short space of time, hanging out with some of the best chefs in the world and of course, winning, were my ‘best moments’ of the season.

3. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO COME DOWN FROM A HIGH AFTER WINNING THE 2014 MASTERCHEF?Not long. I had to begin writing my book, Dig In. I pretty much went straight from fi lming, to spend time with my family for a few days to starting my fi rst ever cookbook. I have been extremely busy since the fi nale, so I am looking forward to a long extended break at the end of this year.

4. HOW DID YOUR COOKING CHANGE OVER THAT TIME ON THE SHOW AND HOW HAS IT

EVOLVED NOW?When I entered the show, I had very basic knowledge of cooking and the techniques required. Like everybody else, we studied, practiced and learnt a lot in a short amount of time. My food became cohesive, interesting and a little more refi ned. I like to experiment a lot these days and I really enjoy re-creating old classics.

5. DO YOU STILL DO ALL THE COOKING AT HOME FOR YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND, MADISON?

Always have, always will. I enjoy cooking for her and she enjoys eating my food. Win win.

6. HAVE YOU REMAINED FRIENDS WITH ANY

OF THE CONTESTANTS ON THE SHOW?We all made such close bonds on the show. People don’t realise that we spent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week together, so the friendships became very strong. I still stay in contact with most of the contestants and whenever one of us is in the others state or suburb, we try our best to catch up.

7. DO YOU MISS WORKING AS A BOBCAT DRIVER OR IS THIS THE PATH YOU WERE MEANT TO BE ON?Occasionally I think about it. It was a big part of my life and I’ll never forget how good Ancrum Excavations were to me, but I don’t think that I’ll be getting back into one anytime soon.

8. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR 2015? ARE YOU STILL PURSUING A CAREER IN READY-MADE FOOD RATHER THAN FINE DINING?I’ve been really busy with the book, live events and now a few international tours, so I’m yet to launch anything in the ready-made food world but ‘fi ngers crossed’ I’ll have an announcement by the years end.

9. HOW HAS WINNING MASTERCHEF CHANGED YOUR LIFE?It has changed my life immensely. I used to wake up at 4am to go to work and drive a bobcat. Now I am travelling the world and Australia to live my dream of being a cook. Food is what I love and being able to do what you love makes work a breeze. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

10. HOW DID YOU PUT A COOKBOOK TOGETHER FOR TRADIES IN JUST TWO

WEEKS?The book was incredibly challenging. I wrote out a list of my favourite things to eat, what I eat for each meal and some old classics. I then tried to put a little twist on each one to make it a little different, a little updated with a touch of Brent. Thankfully, I had 4 weeks to complete the cookbook though.

13. WHAT FOOD DO YOU THINK YOU WILL COOK ON APRIL 29TH AT DAVEYS HOTEL IN FRANKSTON, FOR THE DINNER WITH BRENT OWENS EVENING?

Luckily I’m not leaving that one to chance. I have composed a menu, tested it and made a few tweaks so the food is already set in stone. I have no excuses. It will be great and I look forward to seeing you all there.

On April 29, Daveys is hosting an exclusive evening with MasterChef Australia 2014 Winner Brent Owens. Enjoy a 4 course dinner with matched Chapel Hill wines for $75 while Brent demonstrates the art of cooking the delightful dishes from his newly released cookbook.

Along with preparing the delicious menu, Brent will be answering questions and signing copies of his book “Dig In” available for purchase on the night.

Book now for a night of amazing food, great wine and an up close and personal experience with your favourite MasterChef winner.

Daveys Hotel is at 510 Nepean Highway, Frankston. Phone 9783 7255.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntMT ELIZA has started the 2015 Penin-sula League season in blistering fashion after knocking over Mornington on ANZAC Day.

The Redlegs have now beaten the two 2014 grand fi nalists in Frankston YCW and Mornington in their fi rst three games, as well as Bonbeach, who played in the Preliminary Final last sea-son.

In a tight and scrappy affair, the Red-legs simply used the football a lot more effectively when they went forward, giving them a 9.6 (60) to 6.9 (45) vic-tory.

Despite losing the clearances and having less inside 50 entries, the Red-legs were much more effi cient when they got into their attacking zone.

Mornington opted to kick long and hope when they went into attack. The Redlegs lowered their eyes and hit up players in better positions.

While a Mt Eliza win against Morn-ington is always sweeter than any other win for supporters, it did come at a cost.

After kicking a bag of goals in the opening three rounds, forward sensa-tion Justin Van Unen went down in the second quarter with a hamstring injury.

Although it was a tough day for for-wards, Van Unen had already managed to kick two goals in the opening quarter and a half.

It was a hard game of footy in very tough conditions. At some stages throughout the match, it was tough to see from one side of the ground to the other.

Mt Eliza coach John Georgiou has said previously that not having inju-ries has helped with the structure of his team.

“Last year our hands were tied a little in terms of structure, however, having a healthy list allows us to play the likes of Sam Gill and Darren Booth behind the footy,” Georgiou said.

Rohan Heasley was awarded the An-zac Day medal after a terrifi c display.

However, despite getting the award and nudging out others for the top award, there really wasn’t a player who was head and shoulders above any other.

A lot of players came in and out of the game and it was probably Heasley who did more for longer.

Mornington man mountain Michael Gay dominated in the ruck, however, was almost ineffective.

Gay clearly won the taps, however, rarely did he hit the ball to advantage. There was a real opportunity due to his domination to bash the ball forward into space and allow his runners the op-portunity to run onto it.

When the game was there to be won, again Mornington failed to throw cau-tion to the wind.

The Doggies played safe footy de-

Redlegs take another big scalpRedlegs take another big scalp

spite trailing and didn’t take any risks. They were better off trying something different and going down by fi ve goals rather than be comfortable with a 15 point loss.

A loss is a loss.The day was about Mt Eliza, how-

ever, and they thoroughly deserved the four points.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntPEARCEDALE caused one of the boilovers of the season on Anzac Day when they thrashed Somerville in Nepean League.

The Panthers led from the start to the end and totally dominated a lacklustre op-position, winning 15.8 (98) to 9.15 (69).

Pearcedale fi elded its strongest side of the season and probably the strongest side it can fi eld for the year.

The likes of Troy Jacobson was back from Frankston Dolphins, Basil Sibasado was cleared for one game from the Kim-berley’s and Mornington recruit Kallum Searle made his debut for the Panthers.

As it turned out, Jacobson fi nished the afternoon with three goals and Sibasado booted a couple.

Pat Heijden led from the front with six goals and was the difference between the sides. It was a sensational effort from Hei-jden, considering the domination of the Somerville defence in the opening round of the season.

Prior to the clash, Pearcedale coach Ja-mie Merchan was confi dent that his side would perform well.

“Despite a pretty poor showing against Devon Meadows, I thought we did quite well against Rye,” Merchan said.

“We allowed the opposition too many forward entries but I think if we can put some more midfi eld pressure on and cut those down, we are right in the game.

Somerville’s strength in 2015 has been its pressure around the footy but Pearce-dale was better than the opposition in that department on Saturday.

Alex Harnett got a heap of the footy and Ben Mitchell led from the front. Mitch-

ell, at his very best, is arguably the most dominant ruckman in the competition and he proved that on Saturday.

Up against the very polished Eagles’ skipper in Justin Farrelly, Mitchell cer-tainly had the better of the dual.

Salt was rubbed into the wounds of Somerville went coach David Hirst went off early in the game. He didn’t reappear with what appeared to be a leg injury.

Hirst has been positive and up and about in the opening rounds of the season and certainly throughout the pre-season, how-ever, suffi ce to say he wasn’t happy with his teams output.

Perhaps the Eagles started to read their own press. It may be only a 16-round sea-son but there’s still plenty of footy to be played.

Tom Shaw was the only multiple goal kicker for the Eagles with two goals.

Luke Collie is a jet and he played well again, while Rohan Hogenbirk played his best game this season for the Eagles. Ben Sedgewick and Tommy Simpson also worked hard.

Matt White is one of the most under-rated players in the competition and his tenacity and composure under pressure in the back half of the ground is extremely consistent.

Dean Janssen is another one who just does what he can for his teammates and the jumper he represents. He was at his typical best again on Saturday.

On the back of two beltings in the open-ing rounds of the season, this could be the corner turner that Pearcedale needs.

They’ll lose a few from this side the next time they run out but should now have the confi dence that they can match it with the most talented lists in the competition.

HASTINGS FNCBy Phil Stone, club presidentSENIORS REPORTIT was a good weekend for the Hast-ings Football/Netball club. We showed each other a new side of ourselves that we haven’t seen, and that is grit and de-termination.

It was a cold windy day and for the most part dry but rain at times. I feel that we played good football at times but we were a little too unaccountable for our men too and the Bombers made the most of this.

We had our chances and were the best side on the day for sure but not convert-ing really cost us in the third quarter. We kicked 5 goals 10 and should have put the game away in the third but we didn’t, and we found ourselves in a hot battle.

The last quarter was a hard fought quarter and we hung on for a 4-point win. I’m proud of the way we forced

stoppage after stoppage and went in hard at the contest with great determi-nation.

I am extremely proud of the boys and the way we fought it out. Last year we would have lost that game and it shows how far we have come.

Final score: Hastings 12.17 (89) to Frankston 13.8 (86).

RESERVESWE travelled up to take on the Frankston Bombers at their home ground. In slip-pery conditions during the fi rst quarter we kicked against the wind and had our chances early to kick some important goals but missed some easy ones. Into the second quarter it was a very even contest and neither side could break away with the ball spending a lot of time on the ground due to the condi-tions. Into the third quarter the boys were urged to show more commitment but went the opposite way with some undisciplined free kicks which resulted

in goals to Frankston.The last quarter was all pressure from both sides giv-ing their all to break away. In the end the Blue boys ran out of time and the bombers won by 4 points. Best players: Dylan Paarlberg, Chris Watson , Dan Lehmann, J.Hewitt , M.Cave

UNDER 19S by Aaron WilsonAFTER a sterling round 1 win, the 19s came back down to earth at the hands of a 7-goal loss to the Frankston Bomb-ers on the Anzac Day weekend.

In wet conditions, it was hard con-tested footy for most of the game as it was Hastings holding a slender lead at halftime. The end scoreboard didn’t tell the story of the whole match as the Bombers piled on a few late goals.

Kyron Pratt was pivotal at CHB us-ing his strength and skill to move the ball forward. Joel Goetz was also im-portant laying plenty of tackles and fi nd plenty of the ball.

Missing a bevy of talented players,

Hastings will rue many opportunities going forward. Bombers on the con-trary capitalised.

With players to gain back into side, signs are positive as they look to make it 2-1 for round 3s contest against Dromana.

NETBALL REPORTTHIS week saw us travel to Frankston for the Anzac Round clash in wet and slippery conditions for most of the day with occasional sun peeping through.

C grade battled hard all day in drizzly slippery conditions. Defenders worked hard to create opportunity for the team to score. The team as a whole are taking instruction from their coach Talia and doing their best to implement it how-ever fell short losing to an experienced Frankston side.

B grade was a great game but the score didn’t refl ect the standard at which the girls played. It was an en-tertaining battle in the mid court. The

defenders did a great job creating op-portunities but unfortunately turno-vers were costly and our conversion rate was low which was refl ected in the score. We are really proud of the way you all conducted yourselves and fought the match until the end.

A grade started strongly with the hard work at training paying off. Continued commitment to training hard will see our results improve. There were some great passages of play and scored eas-ily at times which was a great improve-ment and a great spectacle.

A new developing team that is still getting to know each other and are try-ing hard to execute a very new way of playing the game.

This week A and C grade meet Dromana at home.

Next week the Hastings Football/Netball club is at Home against Droma-na Football/Netball club all games start at 10am. Get down and support your lo-cal Club. Go Blues.

Hastings win a thriller to remain undefeated

“Before you migrate north in your RV for the winter, or head off to your next exciting holiday, it’s important for trouble free travelling to have your caravan serviced to avoid possible me-chanical failures.

They’re no-nonsense vehicles, for no-nonsense drivers. People who choose camping under the night sky, over a night-in. Whose holiday home is a caravan towed to the middle of nowhere. Who prefer off-road more than on. People who go their own way.
