THOUSANDS of people commemorated Anzac Day, attending dawn services and marches across Kingston.

The threat of rain did not appear to impact on the numbers gathering to mark the cen-tenary of the ill-fated landings of Australian and New Zealand troops on the beaches at Gallipoli, in Turkey.

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, showing everybody the soldiers’ deeds would not be forgotten.

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

While the uniformed police presence at the Anzac ceremonies 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.

Slow internet costing businessKINGSTON companies are at a com-petitive disadvantage and are losing money due to slow internet speeds according to a new survey commis-sioned by Kingston, Frankston and Dandenong councils.

North Melbourne-based research fi rm Geografi a surveyed 322 busi-nesses across the south east region and found delays in rolling out the na-tional broadband network (NBN) cost the region $8.4 million per year.

Geografi a also estimated more than 1000 jobs could be created if busi-nesses are connected to world-class high-speed internet services.

The Need for High Speed Broad-band in SE Melbourne’s Industrial Precincts report calls on the federal government to make business connec-tions to the NBN a priority.

The report stated: “There are com-panies in SE Melbourne who are at the forefront of innovation in their respective industries. However, they are currently constrained by the speed

and capacity of the telecommunica-tions infrastructure and the outdated exchanges. The current NBN roll out has focused on connection to residen-tial areas rather than business prem-ises”.

Businesses at Braeside’s Woodlands Industrial Estate have struggled with slow internet speeds for years and are frustrated about the unreliability of

connections at the business park.Nulab is a professional photography

laboratory providing print products to corporate clients in Australia and New Zealand.

Founder and executive director Mi-chael Warshall said the failure to hook Nulab’s premises up to faster broad-band is “putting us out of business”.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 29 April 2015

THERE is a new mayor in town. St John Vianney’s Primary School Grade 6 pupil Jasmine Warber was elected by her peers as Kingston Council’s junior mayor.

The Parkdale resident told an audience of 350 guests compelling stories of how young people can reconnect in community spaces to clinch the junior mayorship for the next twelve months.

Jasmine shared her idea of using the local beach as a space to connect young people and entertain them in an alcohol-free environment with activities such as with games, prizes and a movie.

The idea came with the in-kind of-fer of her school donating a projector and offering this ‘amazing’ device for the community. Jasmine said this was just another example of her school’s generous community spirit and then humoured the crowd by whispering “the school made me say that”.

At Monday evening’s Kingston Council meeting Jasmine addressed councillors and said she hoped she could be as good as an ambassador for the City of Kingston as predeces-sor Naveen Satish Kuma, an Aspend-ale Gardens Primary School pupil.

Jasmine will accompany Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill to offi cial council events throughout the year.

Cr Gledhill joked he is happy he is taller than Jasmine, noting Naveen had outgrown him in height during his 12-month stint as junior mayor.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 29 April 2015 PAGE 3

THE honeymoon between unions and the Labor state government seems to be over mere months after Daniel An-drews became premier.

The former pre-election comrades-in-arms are at odds over the Andrews government’s plan to limit council rate rises to the level of infl ation.

Several unions, including the Aus-tralian Services Union, urged voters before November’s state election to “put the Liberals last” to oust the previous Napthine Coalition govern-ment.

Now the ASU, which represents public sector workers and has Mr Andrews as a member of its union, will campaign against the Labor state government’s councils rate capping plan.

The ASU has accused his govern-ment’s rate cap proposal, due to begin in 2015-16, as “the biggest threat in local government since Jeff Kennett and the attacks of the 90s”.

A fl yer for a union delegates meet-ing to be held on Wednesday (29 April) claims council workers’ “job security, pay and conditions are un-der attack”.

ASU state secretary Richard Duffy has written to councils across Vic-toria asking how a rates cap will hit their fi nances.

The letter dated 15 April reads: “These fi gures, which will remain

Union to fight Labor over rates cap planNeil [email protected]

anonymous, will provide us with a solid evidentiary grounding to help us fulfi l our advocacy role in defend-ing the autonomy of local govern-ment and help add context to the rea-sons why council rates rise above CPI [the consumer price index]”.

Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill told The News councillors would meet to discuss the ASU’s letter re-questing fi nancial information before a response is given.

A spokesperson for Local Govern-ment Minister Natalie Hutchins hit back at claims council jobs and ser-vices will suffer.

“We’ve been very clear about this. Our fair go rate cap is not about cut-ting important jobs and services. It’s about encouraging councils to rein in silly spending and exorbitant execu-tive pay.

“I’m sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to councils spending ratepayers’ money more re-sponsibly.”

Liberal shadow spokesman for lo-cal government David Davis accused Mr Andrews of “rank populism” in pledging to cap council rates before the state election.

“Daniel Andrews’ rate capping policy is under attack from his own union … the ASU knows the brutal truth is Daniel Andrews’ rate capping policy will see Victorians currently employed in local government lose their jobs.”

LEEPing the art wavesCOMMUNITY pride was on show at Longbeach Place Community Centre this month.

Local Education and Employment Program (LEEP) students displayed their artworks refl ecting inspiration drawn from their surroundings in the Chelsea area.

LEEP manager Cate Baird said the art exhibition, featuring 40 art pieces, was funded by a Kingston Council grant for National Youth Week (10-19 April).

“This theme of youth week this year was ‘community, it starts with us’ and we decided to use surfboards as an iconic shape of Longbeach,” she said.

“The kids designed something that represented what they felt about com-munity and what was important to them.”

LEEP is a campus of Westall Second-ary College that caters for young people who do not fi t into the usual education stream.

“It’s a way for students who don’t fi t into mainstream education for various reasons to reconnect with education and their community,” Ms Baird said.

LEEP runs certifi ed VCAL classes towards the Victorian Certifi cate of Ap-plied Learning, which teaching literacy, numeracy, work-related skills, personal-development skills and industry-specif-ic skills. The program has been running at Longbeach Place in Chelsea for three years.

Short term stay: St Kilda Football Club seems likely to leave Seaford and return to Moorabbin after Kingston Council decided to commit $5 million to welcome the Saints back. Picture: Gary Sissons

THE Saints are marching back in. Kingston councillors have all but sealed a deal to bring the St Kilda Football Club back from its Seaford training base exile to Moorabbin Re-serve.

There was at times heated debate at Monday evening’s council meet-ing before a majority of councillors voted to commit $5 million of ratepay-ers’ money to lure the Saints back to Moorabbin.

Kingston Council had planned to redevelop Moorabbin Reserve into a community football hub and commit-ted $1.5 million to the project last year alongside $8 million from the state government and $1.4 million from the AFL and community football organi-sations.

The Moorabbin Reserve redevelop-ment project will be expanded and its price tag will rise from $10.9 million to $29 million.

Councillors were wary about St Kilda’s return and request for council funding after the club’s acrimonious departure from the Linton St training ground in 2007 over a dispute about the number of gaming machines at Moorabbin.

Long-time councillor John Ronke said St Kilda’s attitude and actions before quitting Moorabbin were “un-palatable”.

“It’s probably fair to say it’ll take a fair amount of time to build up that trust again after what happened last time,” he said.

Council welcomes Saints back

“I’ve certainly got reservations about spending this amount of money that is unbudgeted and has been asked from us at the eleventh hour ... but it is a once in a generation opportunity to see a very well respected popular club in St Kilda come back to its roots and come back to Moorabbin where it belongs.”

Several councillors expressed con-cerns about handing over so much of the community’s money to the AFL team but ultimately decided the expect-ed long-term benefi ts to the expanded Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment project outweighed any fi nancial risk.

Cr Rosemary West was most vocal in opposition to the Saints’ return to Moorabbin.

“This is a football team that puts money fi rst and happily sells itself to the highest bidder,” she said.

“Why isn’t Kingston as part of its due diligence asking how the club is going fi nancially?”

Cr West referred to a recent analysis of all AFL clubs’ fi nances by online news site The New Daily and said St Kilda is one of two clubs in fi nancial strife.

Cr Paul Peulich defended St Kilda and blamed previous disagreements with council on the club’s former hier-archy.

“Stop demonising the Saints,” he said.

St Kilda’s likely return its adminis-

tration and training base to Moorabbin Reserve has been facilitated by behind the scenes discussions between King-ston Council, the state government, the AFL and the Saints.

Premier Daniel Andrews told sports radio station SEN last week that Moorabbin is “probably the logical place” for the Saints to be based.

Mr Andrews said relocating St Kilda to Junction Oval is not an option since Labor had promised Cricket Victoria that sports centre will be solely used for cricket.

The losers at this stage from St Kil-da’s return to Moorabbin seem to be Frankston Council who pumped about $4 million into a contentious deal to entice the Saints to Seaford in 2013.

The Premier has hinted the Labor state government may be willing to help Frankston Council recover some of its potential losses and denied the Seaford sporting complex is now “a white elephant”.

“I think there’s an opportunity for some other teams – not AFL – that could headquarter there,” Mr Andrews told SEN.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said council will take over manage-ment of the $12 million Seaford sport-ing complex if St Kilda FC decides to leave.

“With discussions ongoing it would be inappropriate and premature to pub-licly discuss fi nancial arrangements,” Cr Mayer said.

“We appreciate St Kilda FC’s contri-bution to our municipality, but if they do choose to relocate, the community benefi ts of this development will still

continue for many years to come.”St Kilda released a media statement

on the morning after Kingston Coun-cil’s meeting.

“Last night’s decision was an im-portant step forward in restoring our club’s presence and involvement with the people of Moorabbin but it’s not the fi nishing line - there are still a number of matters to work through with stakeholders,” Saints CEO Matt Finnis said.

He said St Kilda had met regularly with Kingston Council as part of its push to revitalise the Moorabbin Re-serve precinct and put forward an of-fi cial proposal in February.

The Saints’ proposal to council to expand the redevelopment includes the removal of the GG Huggins stand to make way for state-of-the art training and administration facilities plus an indoor sports court.

St Kilda will also cover some ongo-ing maintenance costs.

Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill told The News last month that discus-sions had taken place with St Kilda about a possible return to Moorab-bin (‘Saints may march back in’, The News 1/4/15).

This week he said council will put safeguards in place to ensure St Kilda’s lease at Moorabbin Reserve “is tied to their actual occupancy of the ground” and community clubs also benefi t.

“Any documentation will guarantee the community and community clubs’ access [to the Moorabbin football hub] at agreed times.”

Paying respect: Kingston school groups visited the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne to learn about Anzac Day and its traditions. Picture: Gary Sissons

Trip a day to rememberAN annual joint effort by the Shrine of Re-membrance and the Chelsea RSL Longbeach sub-branch gives students in the Chelsea area the chance to make a special pilgrimage to the Shrine in the week before Anzac Day.

Earlier this month Year 6 groups from St Louis de Montfort’s, Aspendale Gardens Primary, Aspendale Primary, Edithvale Primary and Chelsea Primary visited the Shrine to learn about Australian and New Zealand soldiers’

involvement in past wars including World War I as part of the Digger for a Day initiative.

Longbeach RSL secretary Leon Scroggie said the RSL provides bus transport and wreathes for school groups to lay at the Shrine.

“We let them know what Anzac Day is all about,” he said.

“Most of them have never been in to the Shrine before so it opens up their eyes to what went on during wartime.”

“We’re a digital printer so 99 per cent of our work arrives to us electronical-ly,” Mr Warshall said.

“Over the last fi ve years the fi les are getting bigger and bigger.”

He said it “can take hours” to receive large fi les online with clients expecting a next-day turnaround for the delivery of printed brochures and photographs.

“We’re just 5 kilometres from the Mordialloc exchange, we’re running ten ADSL2 lines but it’s as slow as a snail so we’re becoming non-compet-itive”.

Nulab built its 50,000 sq ft offi ces in Braeside 14 years ago and employs 30 staff. Mr Warshall said the com-pany moved from Prahran since most employees lived on the south side of Melbourne.

At the time the internet was in its infancy but the need for speed has be-come crucial over the past fi ve years or so.

“[The NBN] would make us more competitive. Some customers think or-ders takes too long ... so we lose orders.

Mr Warshall said the federal govern-ment should make NBN connections to business a priority.

“It seems like they’re going to bypass this area and go straight to the consum-ers and that’s a problem for us.”

Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said council is lobbying both sides of politics at federal and state level to push the case for faster broadband ser-vices to be urgently provided to King-ston businesses.

“As a council we know it [the NBN]

is expensive and you don’t just snap your fi ngers and it appears ... but we want it to go into these business areas because it drives employment and pro-ductivity among those businesses.”

Cr Gledhill said businesses “talk about moving away” from Kingston such is the cost of slow internet speeds.

“We need jobs 20 to 30 minutes from where people live.”

The mayor said it is not a good look for overseas businesses “to experience incredibly slow data speeds” when sending information and fi les to Aus-tralian businesses.

“They go ‘hang on, if that’s how that part of their business works how else are they doing things?’”

The roll out of $41 billion NBN has been hindered by political bickering and on the ground contract delays.

Roll out targets were not met when the federal Labor government was in power and the federal Coalition gov-ernment controversially scrapped La-bor’s initial plan to have all premises connected at faster fi bre to the premises (FTTP) speeds.

The Coalition opted for fi bre to the node (FTTN) connections, using hubs on every street rather than direct fi bre connections to every home and busi-ness, which are quicker to install but deliver slower internet speeds than the FTTP option.

The Geografi a report notes slower FTTN connections may not be suffi -cient for some businesses.

“If this [FTTN] policy is to persist, roll out models successfully employed in the US and UK may be used to or-chestrate the upgrade of FTTN to FTTP,” the report stated.

THE fi nal winding up of the fi nan-cial affairs of the organisation behind the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga, Mt Eliza, could depend on “litigation fl owing” from allegations against its former spiritual leader, Russell 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 timing of the winding up of the or-ganisation would be determined by the “litigation fl owing” and contin-

gent liabilities. Once fi nalised, the liquidation will see the end of an or-ganisation 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 or-ganisation behind the ashram follows last December’s announcement by the school that its leader had “se-cret sexual relations with a number of women from the ashram commu-nity”; police are investigating allega-tions 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 ashram in Tower Rd, is owned by Swami Shankarananda and is not subject to the liquidation.

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

Mr Burness said Swami

Yoga school to be wound upYoga school to be wound upKeith [email protected]

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.”

Traquility lost: The Ashram in Tower Rd, Mt Eliza, may come under scrutiny as liquidators dismantle the fi nancial affairs of Shiva Yoga Inc. The ashram is owned by the organisations former leader, Swami Sankarananda.

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.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 May, 1915

By Stuart McCulloughTHIS changes everything. You think you know someone and then, *bam!* out of nowhere, something is revealed that alters your perception entirely. Some things, once changed, remain tainted forever. There’s betrayal (natu-rally) and some degree of confusion as all the truths you had hitherto taken for granted go up in one glorious puff of smoke. All of this is made worse by the fact that I have only myself to blame for not realising that I was deal-ing with a charlatan, a shyster, a com-plete and total fraud. That’s because the dark, unholy past that has suddenly been revealed to my great and lasting surprise, is none other than my own.

We were moving house – a process that ranks somewhere between con-ducting your own liver transplant and watching The Block in terms of gen-eral unpleasantness. In every sense, packing up a house is a journey of discovery, full of ‘I’d forgotten about this’- type of moments. There’s the rugby top I bought in a fi t of insanity and wore only once, the solo album of Wendy James from Transvision Vamp and a George Foreman grill that I’m hoping is now more valuable because it remains in its original packaging. It’s not so much a trip down memory lane as it is a full-blown hike requir-ing a tent, supplies and an emergency fl are beacon. That’s just how it goes, I guess. Then I made the fortuitous de-cision to unpack my piano stool.

The chair that sits and stares at my piano has a lift up lid. Beneath is a small cavity in which you can store sheet music, believing it will be re-

trieved at the appropriate moment and everyone can gather ‘round the old goanna to engage in some hearty sing-song. That’s in theory. But in practice it’s more a place to hide things you have no intention of ever looking at again. Surrounded by boxes, I lifted back the lid. On top of a pile was a hymn book that I would have used in my early twenties when I consented to being on the roster for Sunday church services. It was an awesome respon-sibility that I failed to live up to only

once when I tragically fell asleep mid-hymnal. I was quietly removed from the roster and haven’t had much use for it since. Beneath was a mother-lode of sheet music.

The sheet music had been purchased during various pilgrimages to Allens in the city. These were the pieces of music I’d bought in the vague hope of impressing my peers and making members of the opposite sex, if not swoon, then think less harshly of me. There was ‘Chariots of Fire’ and ‘Bil-

lie Jean’ by Michael Jackson. Most pleasing of all was the discovery of the ‘Theme from Ghostbusters’ by the inestimable Ray Parker Junior. That, by far, was the largest weapon in my musical arsenal. If nothing else I’d played had managed to win peo-ple over, there was always the Theme from Ghostbusters. As I pulled back Ray Parker Junior’s crowning glory, I glimpsed it only briefl y. I could barely believe what I was seeing. ‘Surely not’, I whispered to myself. But upon clearing away the debris, there it was. I gasped, staggered backwards and felt a little dizzy all at once. Who would have thought that an atrocity of such vast dimensions was lurking beneath the cushioned seat of the piano stool? I’ll admit, I felt a little bit like throw-ing up.

There’s no accounting for taste in this world. There’s also no account-ing for ‘I Will Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)’ by Meat Loaf. There are some people whom I love dearly that are inexplicably partial to Mr. Loaf. I, however, am not one of them. In purely gastronomic terms, he’s enough to make me go complete-ly vegetarian. Indeed, being forced to sit through all twelve minutes of the album version may, technically speak-ing, constitute a form of torture.

Let me be clear: I don’t own Bat Out of Hell or any of its demon offspring. I have never been to any of his concerts and I was in the bathroom for much of his AFL Grand Final performance. I don’t know the words his songs and am unlikely to fork out my hard-earned for merchandise within the foreseeable future. And yet, the fact

that this sheet music has been resident in my piano stool for what I can only assume is a multitude of years suggest that I may be operating in some kind of alternate reality whereas, in truth, I am unabashed fan of the Loaf-meister.

This raises more questions than it answers. ‘I Will Do Anything, etc, etc, etc’ was the highest selling single of 1993. This means I’ve been occupying a parallel universe for at least twenty years. In the life I know, I had an im-peccable video rental record. Since DVD shops have all since shut up shop, I can rest assured that my perfect record can never be blotted. Except, that is, in my other life. For all I know, in the real world I not only worship at the wellspring of Meat Loaf’s musical genius, I have also failed to return a copy of Steel Magnolias I rented in August 1996 and have amassed an overdue fi ne so large that the defi cit pales in comparison. Perhaps in my other life I enjoyed the sitcom Friends and stuck with it through all nine sea-sons and to the bitter end. It was all too much to contemplate…

There was only one way to settle things – I would have to sit down at my piano and sing as many Meat Loaf songs as I possibly could. Only then could I cast out the vestiges of my other, secret life. By confronting my demons head on, I would extinguish the ghosts of Meat Loafs past. But as I sat down at the piano and my fi ngers hovered like vultures above the keys, I was unable to squeeze out a note. ‘No’, I said to myself, gently closing the piano lid. ‘I won’t… do… that’[email protected]

***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

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.

RPP FM is FootballRPP FM is FootballTHERE is a new show on RPPFM immediately following the Match of the Day.

After the Siren, with Neil, Jack and Josh in the chair, airs on 98.7FM or 98.3FM from 5-6pm and covers everything from around the grounds.

Last Saturday they spoke to Aaron Edwards immediately following Pines’ win over Langwarrin, as well as a host of other guests.

On the Saturday morning Footy Show, yours truly will be giving away a 6-pack of Mornington Penin-sula Brewery craft beer.

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 opposition, win-ning 15.8 (98) to 9.15 (69).

Pearcedale fi elded its strongest side of the sea-son 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 Kimberley’s and Morn-ington recruit Kallum Searle made his debut for the Panthers.

As it turned out, Jacobson fi nished the after-noon 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 Heijden, considering the domination of the Somerville defence in the opening round of the season.

Prior to the clash, Pearcedale coach Jamie Merchan was confi dent that his side would per-form 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 mid-fi 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 Pearcedale 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. Mitchell, at his very best, is arguably the most dominant ruckman in the competition and he proved that on Saturday.

Panthers cause boiloverPanthers cause boiloverUp against the very polished Eagles’ skipper

in Justin Farrelly, Mitchell certainly had the bet-ter of the dual.

Salt was rubbed into the wounds of Somer-ville went coach David Hirst went off early in the game. He didn’t reappear with what ap-peared 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, however, 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 season 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 underrated 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 opening 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.
