Your guide to what’s on this weekend

for peninsula families

MORNINGTON Peninsula residents and visitors have been warned to be ready with bushfi re survival plans.

The warning from the mayor Cr Bev Colomb followed a 120 hectare blaze at Hastings that razed much of War-ringine Park after a desperate battle by fi re fi ghters to save houses.

Cr Colomb said residents and visi-tors should “remain aware of the im-

portance of acting on the fi re danger ratings and having a bushfi re survival plan”.

Hastings had “dodged a bullet” de-spite the Saturday 3 January fi re which swept through the bushland reserve, the chair of the shire’s municipal emer-gency management planning commit-tee, Cr David Garnock, said.

The damage – and the heartache – could have been so much worse, he said.

This view was shared by Hastings lawyer David Gibbs, group offi cer in

charge of the local CFA brigades, who said that if the fi re had jumped the Stony Pt/Woolleys roads intersection it had the potential to cause “massive destruction”.

“We could have lost hundreds of homes,” he said.

Luckily, no houses were lost or resi-dents injured in the fi res which began near railway tracks in Reid Pde about 2pm fanned by strong winds and tem-peratures in the high 30s. Piles of wood in a nearby timber yard provided an early source of fuel.

About 300 fi refi ghters fought the blaze which sent embers fl ying over Reid Pde into paperbark forests grass-lands at Warringine Park, jumping six houses on Seaglades Lane. A ma-jor wind change to the southwest at 6.30pm pushed the fi re back towards Reid Pde and Warranqite Cres.

Cr Garnock said the fortuitous wind change – which forced the fi re back onto itself – had prevented what could have been a disaster for residents.

“The fi res were a wake-up call for us,” he said.

A cool change later on the day of to-tal fi re ban brought rain and a 10 de-gree drop in the temperature, helping fi refi ghters control the blaze by about 8pm.

A community fi re meeting at the Graham Myers Reserve, Bittern, on Saturday night - attended by 300 peo-ple - erupted into applause when CFA acting operations manager Neil Schli-palius said that while three houses had suffered external damage, none had been lost.

EVERY day is a red letter day at Mornington Tennis Club’s new courts in Civic Reserve off Dunns Rd.

They are part of redevelopment of David Collins Leisure Centre at Civic Reserve, which opened late last year.

The $8.5 million project ($1.5 million more than originally budgeted) includes the tennis courts and clubhouse as well as an expanded area for Mornington Peninsula Table Tennis Association and a new home for Mornington Youth Club, which has moved from its old one in Wilsons Rd, sold by Mornington Peninsula Shire for housing.

The shire sold the Main St tennis club land in 2013 to The Bays Hospital for more than $4 million, a generous price as the 7790-square metre block was worth 40 per cent more for commercial development. The hospital will build on the land where three storeys is permitted.

The club started in Queens St near the existing shire offi ce in the early 1900s. It moved to Main St in the early 1950s to land that had earlier been donated by John “Gib” Barrett, who died in 1943 aged 79. Continued Page 12

Highway black spot ‘needs traffic lights’Highway black spot ‘needs traffic lights’Mike [email protected]

MT Eliza’s Nepean Highway and Tow-er Rd intersection needs traffi c lights or turn restrictions to make it safer, says resident and former shire council-lor Leigh Eustace.

Mr Eustace and other residents con-tinue to lobby for improvements at the black spot intersection, which has claimed two lives and seen a number of crashes that have injured drivers and passengers since 2008.

A man in his 70s was killed at the intersection in June 2012 when his car struck the back of a truck that was sta-tionary in the centre median waiting to

turn north, having crossed southbound lanes from Tower Rd. The crash oc-curred at about 7.15am. The median is very narrow and does not have room for larger vehicles to stop halfway across the four-lane highway.

The intersection was back in the news in early December after a crash on the highway near Tower Rd, al-though it was not caused by turning vehicles.

Police said a man was seriously in-jured after his car hit a pole near Tower Rd around midnight on 10 December after being struck from behind by a white Honda Prelude. The Honda was found nearby unoccupied and its num-ber plates had been removed. The man

was airlifted to The Alfred hospital.Mr Eustace said he had lobbied for

traffi c lights while on Mornington Pen-insula Shire Council between 2008 and 2012. “There have been petitions and a lot of lobbying about getting that inter-section fi xed,” he said. “I’ve had moth-ers ringing me while I was a councillor saying their children had just got their licence and they’re terrifi ed of them using that intersection.”

He said if VicRoads could not afford traffi c lights it should ban right-hand turns from Tower Rd and right-hand turns from Volitans Ave, which is op-posite Tower Rd.

He said lights at Oakbank Rd, the road that leads to Padua College, had

been installed at a cost of more than $1 million in 2009 “so we know lights are expensive”.

Mr Eustace said the shire was about to spend $810,000 for a roundabout on Mt Eliza Way at Wimborne and Ken-aud avenues “where there has never been a fatality”. There have been four accidents at the intersection, which is in a 60km/h zone near a 50km/h zone, three involving elderly drivers and one a bicycle rider without lights on a Sat-urday night.

The shire is in the process of seeking planning approval for the roundabout but work has not yet started.

Fixing the Nepean Hwy-Tower Rd intersection on the 80km/h arterial

road would have been better use of the money, he said.

The Mt Eliza Way roundabout was the third most expensive of 10 Vic-torian roundabouts to receive fund-ing under the federal government’s black spot program last year. Almost $770,000 came from the federal gov-ernment with the shire paying the bal-ance.

Another expensive roundabout in the shire was the $1.48 million Ma-rine Pde-Hodgins Rd intersection in Hastings completed last year. It is in a 70km/h zone and close to Hastings Primary School.

Ensemble tuned to playEnsemble tuned to playPENINSULA music fans are in for a treat with one of Germany’s fi nest ensembles, the Cham-ber Philharmonia Cologne, performing twice next week.

The ensemble will play at St Macartan’s Church, Mornington, at 8pm on Thursday 22 January and at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Dromana, 8pm Friday 23 January.

A diverse program will range from Vivaldi and his famous Four Seasons to works by Mozart, J S Bach, Sarasate and Rossini.

“Classical music the world over” is the motto of the ensemble, whether it is playing in little village churches, in the open air, in Cologne Cathedral or at the Sydney Opera House.

“We want to inspire as many people as pos-sible across all generations to enjoy classical music,” spokesman Jens Kehling said.

“The popularity of our ensemble is refl ected in the fact that we give about 300 concerts a year around the globe and our listeners look forward to a musical encounter with our talented musicians.”

Continued from Page 1Mr Schlipalius said the present danger for Bittern, Crib Point and Hast-

ings residents had past. He said crews would stay overnight to ensure em-bers were extinguished.

“The CFA had been worried that the fi re may have jumped Woolleys Rd and got into the equestrian centre and the refi nery land Crib Point would have been in trouble,” Cr Garnock said.

“The CFA was magnifi cent and the water bombing helicopters and the appliances saved the houses from the fi res and ember attack. Several back fences were burnt and the fi res came close to several houses but, luckily, none were lost.”

He said shire workers had recently mown a fi re break between War-ringine Park and neighbouring houses.

Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett joined the mayor, Cr Gar-nock, Mr Gibb and shire CEO Carl Cowlie for a debriefi ng at Hastings CFA on Wednesday.

Cr Colomb later issued a news release thanking emergency services workers for their fi re-fi ghting efforts. “It was pleasing to see the swift, suc-cessful and integrated approach of all services involved during the incident and the community coming together during this diffi cult time,” she said.

“I urge all residents across the peninsula, and our visitors, to remain aware of the importance of acting on the fi re danger ratings and having a bushfi re survival plan.”

As a result of the fi re the shire opened an emergency relief centre at the Graham Myers Recreation Reserve, Bittern.

“The council acknowledges the Red Cross, Victorian Council of Church-es, Ambulance Victoria and shire offi cers who all did a fantastic job in hosting the relief centre and providing assistance to the community af-fected by the fi re,” Cr Colomb said.

The Warringine Park boardwalk was damaged during the fi re and is now closed.

CFA state duty offi cer Peter Lucas said fi refi ghters battled through a “horror night” on the Friday. Premier Daniel Andrews praised emergency crews for their response to what has been a “very, very diffi cult couple of days”.

Mornington Peninsula police inspector Karen Nyholm said police ran fi re patrols in the lead up to, and on the day, of the fi res due to the risks presented by the forecast conditions.

“Victoria Police have prepared operations and enact these at various times over summer to move into a prevention area, rather than just re-sponse,” she said.

“On this day, we were adequately resourced to respond and assist the CFA and this was fortunate as all hands were needed on deck.

“The CFA are the experts and the control agency when it comes to fi res and we support and coordinate to provide the emergency response.”

Mayor’s fire alarmMayor’s fire alarm

RINGTAIL possums and native swamp rats were the main animal victims of the Hastings fi re that destroyed up to 90 per cent of Warringine Park.

The possums perished in the paperbark tree areas of the park, and thousands of swamp rats died in the blaze.

Birds took fl ight to unburnt areas of Warringine Creek in the western section of the park as well as saltmarsh areas

near the burnt section.Wildlife experts said it would take up

to fi ve years for possum and swamp rat populations to recover.

One upside to the devastating blaze is that fl ora is expected to recover quite rapidly with expected rain speeding regrowth of eucalypts and grassy understory. Rare species such as orchids and lilies are expected to benefi t from

the fi re. Money will be needed to remove pest plants as they regrow over the next two years.

The park has been closed to the public as large sections of the boardwalk between Hastings and Jacks Beach were destroyed.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has commissioned a fauna and fl ora report.

MOST of the artworks in this year’s Mornington Rotary Art Exhibition can already be seen online.

The “early viewing” at www.morn-ingtonartshow.com.au includes nearly 700 works in various categories, including still life, land and seascapes, portraits, nudes and abstract.

However, the artworks will only be available for sale from the opening of exhibition at 6.30pm on Friday 16 January where winners of $10,500 in prizes will be announced.

The opening is billed as a “styl-ish black and white” event at the Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilson’s Rd, Mornington, with entertainment from the Four Seasons String Quartet, gour-met fi nger food and other “quality refreshments”.

“We have been delighted with the

enthusiastic response from Peninsula artists,” exhibition convenor Rotar-ian David Benson said. “We are also pleased to have strong representation from Melbourne and Sydney artists to provide a vibrant cosmopolitan exhibition.”

Mr Benson said seascapes, land-scapes and contemporary were the most popular subjects.

“We decided to accept a reduced number of artworks this year in order to increase the quality of exhibits and improve the display space,” he said.

“Up to four submissions were ac-cepted from individual artists, with 10 from featured pastel artist, Nancy Thurlby, and more than four from some invited artists.”

Donated door prizes will be handed out on the opening night. Tickets, which include food, refreshments and

door prize opportunities, are $35 and available from Farrell’s Bookstore, Main St, Mornington or online at morningtonartshow website.

The exhibition opens 10am-6pm daily from Saturday 18 January until Monday 26 January. Entry is $8 for unlimited viewing time. From 20 to22 January Family Time will allow parents to view the exhibi-tion while their children attend one of six free structured mural painting sessions in the adjoining marque. Only children with attending parents will be admitted to these sessions (10am-11.30am and 2pm-3.30pm). Qualifi ed instructors will supervise and guide up to 15 students a session in three separate mural paintings suited to the child’s ability. Each session will be self-contained and will commence and fi nish at the scheduled times.

OBITUARYHoward Hamilton Girdler24 Dec 1929–1 Jan 2015Teacher, community activist, writer, Mornington Railway Preservation Society co-founder

THE co-founder of the Mornington Railway Preservation Society, Howard Girdler, has died at age 85 of pneumonia.

Mr Girdler’s funeral was held at Tobin Brother chapel in Mt Martha last Wednesday and as his coffi n was being taken from the chapel to a hearse, the sounds of a steam train were played, putting smiles on the faces of crying mourners.

The former teacher was the driving force behind the foundation of the railway society, which saved the section of the rail line between Moorooduc and Mornington, although the society was unable to stop the state government selling the railway reserve between the light industrial area and the centre of town about 200 metres from Shire Hall Beach.

Mornington Railway runs heritage trains for tourists three times a month as well as on special occasions such as the 30th anniversary of the society and the 125th anniversary of the fi rst train to Mornington last October.

Mr Girdler and Greg Dunkley, who owned a hobby shop in Mornington, founded the society in May 1984 following the government’s closing of the train line in March 1983, although trains had ceased running in 1981.

After years of lobbying for permission to run a tourist train, in 1991 the government granted the

society control of a 10-kilometre stretch between Moorooduc and Mornington.

The society restored a steam locomotive, 100-year-old carriages, and other rolling stock and equipment. It was fi rst based at a BHP siding at Hastings in 1985, then at HMAS Cerberus in Crib Point in 1989 before a fi nal move to Moorooduc in 1997.

The society started running tourist trains between Moorooduc and Mornington in 1999.

Howard Girdler was born at Castlemaine on Christmas Eve 1929 and lived in a house opposite shunting yards. He was educated at Castlemaine Technical School before completing a fi ne arts degree at Melbourne Teachers College.

He taught metalwork, woodwork, and art and graphics at schools in Casterton, Euroa and Moe (where he met his future wife Margaret, also a teacher) before taking a position at Mornington High School in 1963 where he stayed until the late 1970s. He taught at Karingal for the last two years of his teaching career before being forced to retire due to ill health in 1982 at age 53.

With time on his hands, Mr Girdler, who had a strong social conscience, became a frequent writer of letters to newspaper editor pointing out problems in the town before being challenged to do something about it.

He was a founding member of a citizens action committee, which initially focused on opposing Shire of Mornington plans for high-rise buildings on the Esplanade, and a proposal to replace the Esplanade

Whistle blows for heritage railway founderWhistle blows for heritage railway founder

between Mornington and Safety Beach with a four-lane highway. The group then turned its attention to saving the railway, which led to the formation of the railway society.

Mr Girdler was the society’s fi rst president and then its long-time secretary as well as in charge of railway operations. He also wrote about trains for magazines, and undertook research for books.

He was a sportsman who played cricket and table tennis in his younger

years, and later umpired cricket games for many years. He was in charge of lighting for amateur theatre groups including Mornington’s CEF Players.

Howard and Margaret Girdler had two children, Paul, born in 1961, and Jan, born in 1965. Mrs Girdler, who grew up in San Remo on the Bass Coast, said her husband supported her sporting endeavours – A grade hockey and state cricket. Paul and Jan also played cricket, Jan with the state under-21 side.

Mr Girdler stood down from the railway society as his health deteriorated but still volunteered as a train conductor twice a month, and then joined Peninsula Ship Society, holding the position of president, and was active until last August.

Mr Girdler is survived by Margaret, Paul and his wife April, Jan and her husband Bruce, and four grandchildren.

AS tens of thousands of holidaymakers descend on the Mornington Peninsula over summer, offi cial statistics show record numbers of residents are out of work.

While locals may appear to be on holidays, the federal electorate of Flin-ders - covering most of the peninsula from Mornington south and across to Hastings and including Phillip Island - has had one of the highest jumps in unemployment across Australia.

A drop of 4.8 per cent in job partici-pation rates puts Flinders as the second worst hit electorate in in the country.

Neighbouring Dunkley (Mornington, Mt Eliza and Frankston), saw a 3.1 per cent rise in the number of people with-out work.

Statisticians regard fi gures of this level as a “regional recession”.

The fi gures released just after Christ-mas by demographic profi ling compa-ny Australian Development Strategies rate employment trends in federal elec-torates throughout Australia.

John Black, a former Labor senator who heads Australian Development Strategies, said the increasing numbers of job seekers in the Liberal electorates could be problematic for the Abbott government.

Flinders MP and Environment Min-ister Greg Hunt sees the report as “a public relations exercise and should not be used for comment”.

“Any suggestion that the Coalition is deliberately boosting job opportuni-ties in Labor seats in order to win votes

is ridiculous,” Mr Hunt said. “Demo-graphically, the Mornington Peninsula has the second highest population of older people in Victoria, which means we have a higher percentage of people who are retired.

“The single best thing the govern-ment can do to help with employment is to have a strong economy, built around private sector participation and a budget that is balanced, not putting pressure on future generations.”

Dunkley, held by Small Business Minister Bruce Billson, recorded the 13th highest rise in jobless.

Mr Billson said the New Year had started with “positive indications for the national economy” and he was “working hard to ensure these can fl ow on to the Dunkley community”

He said a record number of new companies had been registered in 2014, petrol prices were low and “jobs growth” in 2014 was nearly three times’ that of 2013.

“In addition, monthly retail trade val-ues continued to grow in October up by 0.4 per cent, to be 5.7 per cent higher through the year,” Mr Billson said.

“The latest consumer price index shows that all Australians are now ben-efi ting from a 5.1 per cent reduction in electricity prices following the scrap-ping of the carbon tax.”

However, it seems that if any Coa-lition policies are helping create jobs they are mainly benefi tting Labor-held seats.

Flinders and Dunkley are among many Liberal-held electorates where jobs have been lost in the past year, ending a run covering the past three federal elections where Labor seats

Tourist hoards hide ‘economic downturn’Tourist hoards hide ‘economic downturn’

saw the highest rises in jobless.Since the election of the Abbott gov-

ernment Flinders and Dunkley have had the distinction of joining 28 elec-torates to record a rise in unemploy-ment of more than 1.5 per cent in the past 12 months (24 of these electorates are held by Coalition MPs).

Mr Black said the three previous federal elections had been held at a time when the unemployed “tended to be found in Labor electorates” (The Weekend Australian 27/12/14).

“In the past 12 months, these resi-dents of Labor seats have been fi nding jobs while residents of Coalition seats have been losing theirs,” Mr Black

said. He said electorates recording high rises in jobless numbers could be considered to have been in a serious economic downturn over the past year, with signifi cant contraction of their lo-cal employment bases, with fl ow on effects in such industries as retail and hospitality.

The worst hit electorates included the demographics of “older female workers in part time jobs chasing more hours of work to make up for falling investment incomes and men driving themselves to work in a high street sales job which is now under pressure from falling consumer confi dence”.

Mr Black said year on year increases

in those “not in the labour force” cat-egory “includes students and retirees, but also discouraged workers – the hidden unemployed”.

“The 13 regional and outer urban mortgage belt electorates losing the most jobs [including Flinders and Dunkley] could be considered to be in a serious economic downturn over the past year, with signifi cant contraction of their local employment bases and fl ow on effects on industries such as retail and hospitality,” he said.

Mr Black said his report was based on jobs data collected by the Austral-ian Bureau of Statistics.

By David HarrisonNEXT year could be the most lively and productive year Mornington Peninsula Shire has had in a long time. A new chief executive offi cer, Carl Cowie, and councillors appearing to bury their differences are welcome developments.

Here are a few items, dealt with briefl y, for councillors and offi cers to consider over the summer break. The subjects can be classed as boring but important: no soaring visions, just matters of tidy housekeeping. An astonishing amount has already been accomplished but there’s more to be done.

RatesThey have been going up at well

over the rate of infl ation, more than doubling in the past decade or so, well ahead of the local government average – and rising faster than the shire’s own goal, of infl ation plus two per cent.

Continuation of this trend could eventually turn the peninsula from a mix of ages, occupations and incomes into a wealthy enclave, with long-time residents forced to sell up and move or potential new settlers unable to buy into even more modestly priced areas.

DebtIt is too high, with little sign it is be-

ing brought under control. Arguments that the shire is well placed to handle $30-40 million or so of debt do not cut much ice with ratepayers. Higher levels of government do not advance this argument: they shout their suc-cesses in balancing budgets.

However, debt is not bad (think mortgage and car loan) but thrift is a

splendid and logical if unfashionable concept in this credit card era. Some readers will recall methodically put-ting pennies aside for the new fridge or TV and savouring the purchase all the more for enduring the wait.

Those infl icted with Hamlet in their school years will recall the excellent advice a young man heading for Paris got from his wise father: borrowing “dulls the edge of husbandry”, Polo-nius told Laertes, and my father told me, then had to explain it on account of my tender years.

InfrastructureThe shire has long boasted that

it has closed the infrastructure gap. Good work has been done in this area, but much more is needed. Ask sports clubs whose pavilions and toilets need urgent repairs.

Observe the state of some shire roads. The low-temperature road mak-ing and repair technique introduced some years ago was not a success, melting even on mid-temperature days and requiring follow-up visits. Added to this is the vast increase in visitor numbers, which has added to road wear and tear, as it has on the requirement for more and better tour-ist infrastructure.

Visitors and locals are increasingly turning to four-wheel drive vehicles, enormous things that chew up tarmac. One friend who complained he could

not get his vehicle in and out of his property without damaging the road was advised by a shire offi cer not to turn the steering wheel as he entered and exited.

EnforcementA common community complaint

is that permits for buildings and shire by-laws are often not enforced, or are enforced rarely or narrowly. Parking offi cers are rarely seen away from busy shopping centres and other places which provide a good return to the shire. Meanwhile, villages and many tourist attractions – wineries and the like – can breach their permit conditions, especially those related to patron numbers and parking, with impunity.

SpendingLocal government is victim to

regular state and federal government cost shifting. Cr David Gibb has been consistent over the years in opposing state attempts to get its hands into ratepayers’ pockets, most recently (and sadly unsuccessfully) over a shire contribution to the Mornington harbour plan.

The shire has had, in the minds of many, an entrepreneurial approach to spending, with the vast and unending piggy bank of ratepayers’ funds to draw on. One recalls the state request for $250,000 to investigate a ferry linking the peninsula with Phillip Island. It didn’t eventuate, as I recall, probably because it was not economi-cally viable and the concern with the effect on Cowes beach.

Community relationsThe shire gets a mixed scorecard

for its public interface. It does some things very well indeed – if they are good news matters. For example, when a photo is needed for Peninsula Wide (nice looking revamped spring edition, by the way) it’s all stops out.

When the shire is challenged to release information to the public it is a different matter. Journalists, generally regarded as a feral species, fi nd them-selves controlled trying to access even non-controversial shire information.

This control has tightened over the past few years as it applies to ordinary citizens. The rules for questions to council meetings has been restricted to two questions, each of 50 words or less and no follow-up questions. And questioners must declare the questions are their own work. One might argue this borders on paranoia. Other municipalities allow follow-up questions and place no word limits on questions. Imagine! A ratepayer dialogue with councillors and staff in council meetings.

Then, on a rather higher plane, is the recent and dramatic loosening-up of some of the shire secrecy. “Secret” meetings have already been abolished, due in part to the deep respect for openness ingrained into two council-lors over their years in the courts – retired judge Tim Wood and barrister Hugh Fraser. This trend should, and almost certainly will, continue.

Please feel free to contribute to this list, to The News or to the shire, or both. As a lady once said in a televi-sion advertisement: “It’s your money, Ralph.”

OUTDOOR SETTINGS

DESPITE the new state government’s apparent lack of enthusiasm to build a major container terminal at Hastings, Liberal MP Neale Burgess maintains the port expansion will go ahead.

He believes the Labor government led by Daniel Andrews will establish a panel to evaluate Hastings and the so-called Bay West area in Port Phil-lip before announcing it will go ahead with long-held plans for Western Port.

The government says no decision will be made until after a review by the yet to be formed Infrastructure Victoria.

The new body will assess the merits of developing the state’s next contain-er port at Hastings or Bay West, near Geelong.

“It will be ludicrous to use Port Phil-lip,” Mr Burgess said, adding that the outgoing government had spent the past four years planning to expand the Port of Hastings following three years’ backing for the proposal by the former John Brumby-led Labor government.

However, an expert has told The News that shipping companies that Victoria’s economy will never be big enough to justify shipping companies sending their largest container vessels, even if deep water channels are avail-able in Western Port.

Almost echoing the fi ndings of the Build it-but will they come report by Victoria University’s Dr Hermione Parsons, the expert said the extra han-dling costs of containers at Hastings would be passed on to consumers: “All that will do is give more money to foreign-owned companies… New York takes ships the same size of those coming to Melbourne and there’s no way ships that can’t go to Brisbane or Sydney would come here.”

The expert also predicted staff cuts to the Hastings Port Development Au-thority by mid-February.

The authority has not returned sev-eral calls from The News.

Mr Burgess said he had not sought a meeting with new Ports Minister Luke Donnellan, but “I intend to front him and at least talk face to face”.

He said Labor still wanted to use Hastings as a “bulk port” to export coal and urea and import bitumen.

“It’s still in their plan for the Port of Hastings, they’ll do both [containers and bulk goods]. Their previous plan is still on.”

Mr Burgess said he had “knocked back” numerous proposals during the Coalition’s four-year term (brought to a halt by Labor’s victory on Saturday 29 November).

“I told them to go fi nd somewhere else [for a port].

“They [Labor] intend using the Stony Point line, which would end passenger train services, and there’ll be a new line through Pearcedale. We’ll have B-double trucks going through the mid-dle of our towns.”

In the lead up to the election the La-bor Party criticised plans for a contain-er port at Hastings and fl agged build-ing one at Bay West, close to Geelong on the west coast of Port Phillip. Labor has several MPs in the Geelong while the peninsula is “safe” Liberal.

However, the government remains non-committal, with Mr Donnellan not directly addressing questions posed by The News and instead issuing the following statement: “The Andrews government will refer its proposal to develop a post at Bay West near Wer-ribee to the new, independent Infra-structure Victoria. No decision will be made on the future of Victoria’s ports until Infrastructure Victoria concludes its review.”

Also in the run-up to the election Labor’s three Mornington Peninsula candidates – Steve Hosking (Hast-ings), Carolyn Gleixner (Nepean) and Rebecca Wright (Mornington) – stated they were opposed to any expansion of the Port of Hastings.

The three issued a joint statement say-ing the proposed expansion threatened the environment, viability of the tourist industry and would create few jobs.

Questions not addressed by Mr Donnellan in several emails from The News concerned the future of the $110 million-funded Post of Hastings De-velopment Authority and government liability for any surveys already com-missioned or underway.

The authority has nearly 100 staff and recently entered a new lease to ex-pand its offi ce area in Hastings.

HEAR Together Mornington Peninsu-la is a new support group for parents of children with a hearing impairment.

The group is an initiative of Frankston Toy Library. It welcomes the entire family including children and their siblings to its informal and fun bimonthly meetings, founder Sandi Walters said.

“Having a child diagnosed with a hearing loss can be a diffi cult experi-ence for many parents,” she said.

“When my daughter was diagnosed

I felt like the only parent on the planet dealing with such issues, and my daughter felt like the only child on the planet with hearing aids.”

Ms Walters started the group to ensure no other families in the area felt the same isolation. “Everyone is welcome – from those worried about grommets to those with hearing aids and cochlear implants,” she said.

Meetings are held at Frankston Toy Library – of which Ms Walters is president – which also has Victoria’s

largest collection of resources. These can be borrowed for children with a range of special needs including deaf-ness, blindness, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and autism.

A new Auslan playgroup has been launched as part of the Hear Together program for parents wanting to learn and practise sign language.

THE Australian Hearing bus stops at Mornington on Wednesday 21 January to offer residents free hearing checks and raise hearing health awareness.

The bus will be at Mornington Central shopping centre from 9.30am-midday and at Masters Mornington, 75 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, from 1-4.30pm.

The hearing service has given 35,000 free hearing checks across Australia since 2009.

The service’s Mornington manager Leiana Morey said as age-related hear-ing loss developed gradually over time,

it was common for people to not be aware their hearing was diminishing.

“Hearing loss is a prevalent issue in the community, with about 60 per cent of those over 60 suffering from some form of hearing loss,” she said.

“A hearing check is a quick and easy way to measure the sounds you can and can’t hear. Our team will guide people through what next steps they may have to take.”

Visitors will receive information on a range of common hearing issues and view a display of easy-to-use hearing devices, including headsets

for watching TV and alert systems for doorbells.

“Not everyone who is experienc-ing problems hearing needs a hearing aid. Sometimes it’s just hearing the TV at normal volumes, hearing your doorbell or hearing your friends on the phone that’s the problem,” Ms Morey said.

No appointment is necessary.Australian Hearing provides

subsidised hearing care for eligible people, including pensioners and most veterans. Details: Call 131 797 or visit hearing.com.au

Oh deer, it’s lostIT may have something to do with the end of the Christmas season, or just an inquisitive nature. Whatever the reason, this fallow deer appears to have strayed from its herd. Although a regular visitor to horses in a paddock in rural Mt Martha, Chris Street thinks it would be better off mingling with its own kind. Anyone who knows where the deer belongs can call Mr Street on 0415 446 324.

A SPATE of trailer thefts has Morn-ington police scratching their heads.

Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas said 40-plus trailers of all descriptions had been stolen since October – when 17 had gone missing.

“The number is not as high now but still more than in previous years,” he said.

Police are looking at all disposal options, including scrap metal mer-chants, eBay, Cash Converters and Trading Post. Container-loads of trail-ers may be going interstate.

“We are asking people to secure their trailers with wheel clamps, coupling devices and padlocks, even when they are in backyards,” he said.

“All sorts of trailers are going off, including box trailers and tradesmen’s trailers – often when they are full of tools. We are getting reports of the odd boat and caravan being stolen as well.”

Senior Sergeant Vallas said many more trailers were on the peninsula over summer as they were used to transport holiday gear, boats and camping equipment.

He said police had noticed more trailer thefts from streets either side of Nepean Hwy and Frankston-Finders Rd, suggesting thieves were taking the time to explore adjoining side streets as they made their way down the pen-insula.

Anyone with information can call Mornington police on 5970 4900.

A detailed works schedule will be developed each year to address po-tential fi re risks from vegetation along shire-managed roads.

The annual works schedule will complement existing roadside vegeta-tion works, such as roadside mowing, tree and vegetation cutbacks, noxious weed control, and weeding to aid bio-diversity.

Additional works include removing fallen trees and clearing vegetation.

Works already under way are on Purves and Arthurs Seat roads; Ar-thurs Seat, Park, Churchill and Elle-

rina roads; Forest Drive and Hearn Rd, Mt Martha; Merricks Rd, Merricks; Waterfall Gully Rd, Rosebud; and St Johns Wood and Canterbury Jetty roads, Blairgowrie.

Residents will be consulted before works are started and environmental assessments beforehand will ensure environmental values are protected while risks to residents are reduced.

Mayor Cr Bev Colomb said ongoing community consultation was an impor-tant part of the plan.

“Engaging with our community will also enable our fi re management teams to have important conversations with residents about fi re management works and further promote the shared respon-sibility message,” she said.

The plan categorises shire roads as

high, medium or low priority to assist agencies to plan for fi re management across the shire.

Roads are assessed on fi ve objec-tives: prevent or reduce the risk of fi res on roadsides, prevent the risk of spread of fi re from the road reserve, manage safety of road users, provide control lines, and ensure recovery of roadside vegetation after roadside fi res.

The shire consulted with the CFA, Parks Victoria, Department of Envi-ronment and Primary Industries, and VicRoads. The plan was formally endorsed by the Municipal Fire Man-agement Planning Committee and the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee.

The 13-year-old, of metropolitan Melbourne, was sitting on the front of the boat when he fell off and was struck by the propeller at about 1pm.

Sergeant Adrian Sinclair, of the Marine Investigation Unit, said it ap-peared the boy was one of six on the boat with a scout leader doing ma-noeuvres.

After the accident the leader pulled him from the water and the boat was driven back to shore.

The boy suffered serious lower limb and arm injuries and was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital. A spokes-person on Friday said he was in a “critical condition”.

The boat has been seized and the operator is assisting police with their inquiries.

Fireys thankedFireys thankedMay I, through your columns, thank both the local fi re brigade at Hastings and the many fi re crews who attended the fi re at Hastings on 3 January.

That no houses were lost is testa-ment to the skill and dedication of the men and women who knew their job and did it superbly well.Ruth Gooch, Hastings

Lawyer’s warningLawyer’s warningThe number of people who have drowned in Victorian waters so far this summer is nothing short of tragic.

Hundreds of others have also had to be rescued and needed fi rst aid as-sistance while enjoying time out with family and friends in our coastal areas and river towns.

As a personal injury lawyer, I have seen a number of people who have been injured or permanently disabled as a result of water-related accidents - many of these incidents could have been prevented.

Sadly, Victoria recorded the highest number of drowning deaths in 10 years during 2013/14.

Many of us are spending time at beaches and rivers this summer so it is important that we are vigilant.

Serious injuries can occur when diving into murky water where it is diffi cult to judge the depth of the water or see submerged objects. We should remember that a calm surface can hide strong current. Also, alcohol can impede judgement and our ability to get out of a dangerous situation.

We should continue to enjoy our beautiful beaches and rivers, but the tragic start to the year is a good reminder to be safe near water.Barrie Woollacott, Melbourne

Fish suppliesFish suppliesThe proposed closing down of our local fresh fi sh supplier opposite Wil-sons Rd, Mornington (‘Fishermen: nets ban a stunt’, The News 11/11/14), [run by] the brothers Neville and Dalton Hutchins, who, along with their extended family, have been fi shing in the Mornington area for six generations. A long term for such an important service for us, a food that we know is sold at the source from where is caught.

Yes,it is a small business that may not be so interesting to the major political parties, but it has supported their families, who in turn have given their customers a source of healthy unadulterated food.

Most of us do not have the facilities to catch our own seafood, involv-ing boat, time and the money for a recreational licence, so we, the public, become the losers here yet again.

They are not major ship factories coming in to plunder the bay - that is a load of nonsense. They are a small family business and we, down here, get that.

Perhaps it’s a chance for the "big guys" to give us a break for a change and listen to us.Maureen Federico, Frankston South

Uphold port pledgeUphold port pledgeIt is heartening for the environment that expanding the Port of Hastings into a mega container port will soon be just a bad memory. The state Labor Party's candidates for all Mornington Peninsula seats have strongly cam-paigned against the container port and, one would think, with the full backing of the whole Labor Party in Victoria.

Now is the time for these prom-ises to be made good. It is not good enough to make verbal commitments

on issues affecting society, we need defi nite decisions and an active commitment by the premier (Daniel Andrews) to lay this crazy proposal of a container port at Hastings once and for all to rest.

The invaluable environmental and tourist assets of a Western Port that will not be affected by dredging, the removal of large sections of man-groves or a huge increase in shipping can now hopefully be preserved for future generations and become a proud statement of Labor’s commit-ment to a more sustainable future of Victoria.

Daniel Andrews, please don't do a Tony Abbott on us.Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

System corruptedSystem corruptedI wish to thank Christine Fry, of Blair-gowrie, for her comments (‘Voting patterns’, Letters, The News 16/12/14) but, unfortunately, she missed the whole point (I know it might have been a bit obscure). The point was that the preference voting system is a joke.

When I fi rst moved to Australia from the United States (no, I am not going back) I thought how great, if I vote for someone and they are not elected then I will at least have the possibility of getting the second best that would work to achieve my concerns.

Although I am confi dent that the intent of the preference voting system was exactly that when it was estab-lished, the system has been corrupted by politicians that fi gured out how to use the system to be elected.

As I said, preferences are a joke. Christine does highlight this fl aw in her letter when she states, “If the Greens wanted [Liberal candidate] Mr [Martin] Dixon’s preferences, why did

they list Mr Dixon at the very bottom of their preference list?” which goes directly to the point.

It looks like this issue might be solved in local government elections in the report to government by Local the Government Electoral Review: “In addition, the panel proposed a further measure. The panel has clearly strengthened the amount of informa-tion on candidates available through the postal pack, in the interest of ena-bling voters to make a better-informed choice between candidates. The panel, however, believes that the publication of candidate how-to-vote recommen-dations does not enhance voter ability in this respect, but is a major induce-ment to dummy candidates standing purely as a mechanism for siphoning preferences.

I might add that my submission got a mention in the report: “Candidates should be required to provide statu-tory declarations that they were ‘le-gitimate’ candidates. This would stop all but the most unethical and morally corrupt candidates from serving as ‘dummy’ candidates.”

The report is signifi cant in its implications in many areas and can be reviewed at www.dtpli.vic.gov.au/local-government/strengthening-councils/local-government-electoral-reviewJoe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Surviving the heatSurviving the heatExtreme heat can affect anyone, but older people are especially vulner-able to heat stress and heat-related illnesses.

I am encouraging all seniors to prepare for days of extreme heat.

If you have a chronic health condi-tion, or are taking medication, talk to your doctor so you know what to do. Some medications, for example, can

limit awareness of physical discomfort which means that heat-related illness symptoms may be ignored.

Check that devices such as air-con-ditioners, air coolers, fans, blinds or refrigerators are in full working order. If you lose power, contact your pro-vider on the "Faults and Emergencies" number on your most recent electric-ity bill. A power outage guide is also available at www.energyandresources.vic.gov.au/power-outage-guide.

When a hot day arrives, remember to stay cool indoors at home as much as you can. If that’s not possible think about a plan B to escape the heat such as staying with a friend or family member with air conditioning.

As well as asking for help if feeling the heat, seniors are reminded to:

Delay any outdoor and strenuous activities such as sport, gardening and home improvements;

Drink plenty of water;Eat small cold meals more often;Wear loose, light coloured clothes;

and,Keep cool using wet towels.I call on friends, family and neigh-

bours to check on older community members to see if they need help. It only takes a few minutes to make contact and a phone call, or even help with practical tasks like pulling down blinds, may make all the difference.

Information on heat health is at www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au. Sub-scribe to receive heat alerts by email by visiting www.health.vic.gov.au/subscribe. For health concerns call your doctor or Nurse-on-Call on 1300 60 60 24.Gerard Mansour, Commissioner for Senior Victorians

Continuous Care:The length of the program depends on individual needs. We work with individuals, through ongoing reviews, in the management and treatment of symptoms, maintaining communications with each individuals referring doctor. The program is covered by most private health funds; however self-funding options are also available.The education component is a series of weekly presentations by specialist team members on topics including falls risk and management, medications, mobility, community supports, relaxation and fatigue

management, cognitive and behavioral needs, latest treatments and nutrition. The Lee Silverman Voice Therapy LSVT LOUD®:Between 70% - 90% of individuals with Parkinson’s disease will develop voice and speech disorders during the course of their illness. Of these individuals, only a small percentage access Speech Pathology intervention. Miller et al 2006 found that “.people with PD live for years frustrated by communication impairment, withdrawal, social isolation and embarrassment.”The Lee Silverman Voice Therapy LSVT LOUD® has changed the success of voice therapy and the lives of PD patients. With more than 20 years research behind it, it is the rst speech treatment with scienti c

evidence and established ef cacy for the treatment of voice and speech disorders for individuals with PD.At St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital 2 of our Speech Pathologists are quali ed and experienced LSVT LOUD® practitioners and we are thrilled to be able to offer the LSVT LOUD® program to individuals with Parkinson’s disease.

MOVING BIG FOR PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE

The Lee Silverman LSVT BIG®program:Research suggests that you should NOT wait until you begin to

experience disability, impaired function or loss of balance to start an exercise program.LSVT BIG® is an intensive amplitude based exercise program for the body. Research on LSVT BIG® has documented improved ratings on tests of motor functioning in people with Parkinson’s disease following treatment. Improvements include:• Faster walking with bigger steps • Improved balance • Increased trunk exibility LSVT BIG® trains people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions to avoid inactivity and keep moving. It helps people to fully participate in everyday activities and improve their quality of life.The program consists of 1 hour a day with a trained therapist, 4 days a week, for 4 weeks.To complement our already established LSVT LOUD® program, we now offer the specialty program LSVT BIG®. Our Occupational Therapist, Amie Malcolm, successfully became a certi ed practitioner in 2014 and is excited to commence offering this program to patients in 2015 along with four other staff members who will be quali ed, in early 2015.

Testimonial:-Patient (Ian) is looking forward to doing LSVT BIG®Mobility problems are common for people with Parkinson’s disease. Ian, an active and dynamic 69 year old gentleman was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He has a

successful business, enjoys playing golf and spending time with his family. Recently Ian’s wife noticed that he was shuf ing while walking and that he had some dif culty with putting his shoes and socks on. Ian will be one of the rst participants when we launch LSVT BIG® this month. Ian says he is hoping the exercises in LSVT BIG® will help to “improve my posture, reduce the shuf ing and get general mobility back again. I want to build my con dence so that I can perform better in my everyday tasks”.Our new LSVT BIG® exercise program and LSVT LOUD® aim to improve quality of life in everyday living. We are proud to be able to offer these additional programs to our current holistic and best practice approach to supporting our patients living with Parkinson’s.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Boating accident with capsized vesselBoating accident with capsized vesselCompiled by Melissa WalshTHE annual general meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute will be held on Thursday, January 28th.

***MR P. Wheeler notifi es by advertise-ment the hours in which the Frankston Pharmacy will be open for business, he also notifi es that in special cases he will dispense medicines at any hour, day or night.

***THE anniversary of the Frankston Methodist Church will be held on Sunday next when services will be held in the morning, afternoon and evening. The preacher being the Rev Horton Williams, of Melbourne. who is spoken of as an eloquent and im-pressive preacher.

***MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a clearing sate of farm implements and sundries on Wednesday next 20th January at Anesfi eld Park, Morning-ton road on account of Major Camp-bell. The sale will commence at 2.30 o’clock. The same fi rm will also hold a sale of horses and ponies on the fol-lowing day at Tanti yards.

***THE Country Roads Board has, dur-ing the past week, authorised the ac-

ceptance of the following tender, for work to be carried out under the su-pervision of the local municipalities: Mornington Shire – forming and met-alling Point Nepean Road. Allnut and Baker, £1773 13s 6d. Flinders Shire – Mornington-Flinders Road, contract 13, Wilson and James, £320 0s 6d.

***WE regret to learn that Mr A. H Greg-ory, of Frankston, is suffering from a severe attack of sore throat, through catching a chill the end of last week. Mr Gregory has been somewhat un-fortunate lately, as some two months ago he severely sprained one of his knees, from which he is just recover-ing. We join with his many friends in wishing him a speedy recovery from his present ailment.

***THE following is the fi nancial state-ment of the Rosa Alba complimen-tary concert held last month by the Frankston Choral Society. The re-ceipts were: Door £5 9s, tickets and booking, £6 4s 6d; advertisement 10s. The expenses were: Printing, £2 11s; Hall 15s; stamps etc. for invitations to reception 4s. Honorarium Mr Freder-ick Earp, £1 1s Half share profi ts Miss Rosa Alba £3 10s 9d; fares and photo Miss Rosa Alba 11s; half share profi ts Frankston Choral Society £3 10s 9d; total £12 3s 6d.

***ON Monday week last the members of St Paul’s Club Frankston, gave a concert at Seaford in aid of the Sea-ford Church. The Hall was packed. It is understood that the profi ts from

this and the November concert will amount to about £7 or a little more. The following members took part in the evening’s entertainment – Mr and Mrs Ellis, Misses Gregory, Bowell and Williams, and Mr Elliott. Dur-ing the evening the farce “Love the Winner” was presented, being well received. The accompaniments were played by Mrs Ellis. The club was helped by Cr Colleen, of Carrum, who gave some very fi ne recitations and Mr Warner jnr., a visitor to Sea-ford, who gave two comic songs.

***AN accident occurred during the holidays to two young men while out boating, which might easily have re-sulted in a fatality. It appears that a sudden gust of wind came and took them unawares, and the boat cap-sized. They both succeeded in keep-ing themselves afl oat by clinging to the over- boat. Accompanied by A Greggs and G. Hesselman, E. K. Mc-Comb was returning from fi shing and observed the accident. He lost no time in covering the distance, about a mile and a half, between his boat and the drowning men, and arrived in time to take one of them into his boat before he was quite exhausted. In the mean-time his companion in disaster had elected to reach the shore by swim-ming, a distance of about 200 yards, which he succeeded in doing and after a rest neither of them were the worse for their narrow escape.

***THE Naval Base Sports Club advertise in another column that their an-

nual sports will he held on Saturday, March 6th, when the usual lengthy programme will be gone through.

***THE sitting of the licensing court of the Phillip Island district was con- cluded at Wonthaggi last week when seven new licenses granted—four at Wonthaggi and one each at South Dudley, Kilcunda and Koo Wee Rup. In all there were 27 applicants, the successful ones being Jessie Allen, Wonthaggi; Charles Taberner, Won- thaggi; James W. Webb, Wonthaggi George Howe, South Dudley; Alfred Morey, Kilcunda; and Dennis McNa-mara, Koo Wee Rup Jas. McGrath, Wonthaggi.

***THERE was considerable disloca-tion of the railway traffi c on the Stony Point and Mornington lines on Wednesday, January 13th. A heavy engine by some means was derailed at Stony Point on that day. A break down train with a gang was sent from Melbourne to rectify matters. The 3.30pm goods train with car at-tached from Stony Point did not pick up trucks with goods en route, and the combined Stony Point and Morning-ton train, which should have arrived at Frankston at 5.30 p.m., was much delayed.

***SCARCITY OF WILD DUCK: OPEN SEASON ABOLISHED: Few sportsmen will be able to complain of the wisdom of the Government’s decision not to allow wild duck to be shot this year, but many who have

already made arrangements to join shooting parties have cause to com-plain that the prohibition was not announced earlier. The open season for wild duck usually commences on 11th February, and continues until 30th June but, owing to the fact that the number of these birds is decreas-ing, and that they are particularly scarce this year owing to the drought, a policy has been adopted whereby a close season will be observed for the whole of each third year.

***THAT rain has been badly needed throughout the district for some months past is a well known fact, but it was very apparent that nobody at the Tyabb picnic appreciated the rain that fell on Wednesday, the 6th in-stead. It is a great many years since such miserable weather has been ex-perienced at this annual gathering, but, nevertheless the event cannot be deemed a a failure. The shelter shed proved a great boon while the rain was coming down, thus allowing the people to remain in the park until the weather cleared, instead of having to return home and get a soaking.

***The benefi cial rains experiencd lately have minimised the dauger of bush fi res, and in place of the parched con-ditions existing lately there has been an abundance of growth. So much that prices for vegetables and all other produce have fallen considerably.From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 January, 1915.

OUR feet are one of our body’s most complex and relied upon structures, yet they’re often the most neglected. We take, on average, around 7000 steps everyday. Add to that the amount of time we spend standing, playing sport and engaging in recreational activities and you start to realise just how important our feet really are.

The start of a new year a good time to ensure your feet and legs are in good shape to tackle the year ahead. Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza has some helpful tips to keep you pain-free and active in 2015! Always get foot and leg pain or soreness

checked by an experienced Musculoskeletal or Sports Podiatrist. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues, but there is often a simple solution. Evaluate your footwear. Choose shoes that

are comfortable, have decent cushioning and support, especially if you’re going to be on your feet a lot. Wear activity/sport appropriate shoes.

Ensure you wear activity appropriate shoe. Sum-mer thongs and slip-ons aren’t appropriate for long walks, sport and recreational activities. Don’t rely on technological advances in

footwear to treat pain & discomfort or decrease risk of injury. Proper advice and treatment from a Musculoskeletal or Sports Podiatrist is the best way to prevent and treat problems. Women can make better choices to assist

high heel wearing. Opt for lower heels when-ever possible but for high heel ‘must’ events, choose a wedge heel for more support/stability, also look for shoe straps with a bit of substance for extra support. Don’t buy shoes that require a “break-in

period”. Shoes should be comfortable immedi-ately. Shop for footwear at the end of the day to

accommodate for normal swelling. Feet can

swell by up to 10% during the course of a day. Be careful of off-the-shelf foot products

including orthotics, innersoles and arch sup-ports. Only proper devices prescribed by an experienced Musculoskeletal or Sports Podia-trist should be used to ensure they are correct, effective and safe. If you’ve been advised you need surgery or

medications get a second opinion. Anti-infl am-matory medications and cortisone injections can delay healing and/or cause further damage, and surgery should always be a last resort. There are now more effective, natural options to both, thanks to the latest medical research and treat-ments .

ON a seemingly unstoppable quest for greatness, ARIA Nominees, Kingswood were never going to be content staying home for summer. Wrapping up 2014, the four-piece rock ‘n’ roll band announced a nation-wide tour that will take them to the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday February 6.

Fergus Linacre is the man behind the rumbling and engrossing vocals so signature to the band’s indisputable brand of rock ‘n’ roll swagger. PEARL chat to the singer ahead of the tour, which will see Kingswood showcase their debut album, Microscopic Wars, recorded in Nashville’s legendary Blackbird Studio with Vance Powell. With heavyweights like Jack White and the Arctic Monkeys under the producer’s belt, we were keen to know how the pairing came about.

“I’m not too sure how, but he heard our EP, really liked it and said he’d be interested in working with us. Considering you usually have to book him years in advance, we were lucky to take his interest. Actually, it was pretty funny

because the fi rst EP we sent to him was a song that just Al and I were working on in our little house in Kew. Al played drums (he’s the guitarist) and I played base and keyboards and we just swapped all of the instruments around for the different parts. It sounded pretty shit; I mean, Alex is a talented musician but he’s not a great drummer. So Vance got this fi rst recording and was like ‘what have I got myself into – this band is terrible!’ I guess eventually he found out that it was a very rough demo. So we probably shouldn’t have sent a demo with the singer and guitarist doing all the instrumentals to this Grammy-winning producer, but it worked out really well and we ended up having a ball in Nashville.”

The album is certainly a testament to the band’s ability to diversify their sound and still resound with audiences. Having individually been a part of punk, jazz and several other musical outfi ts as teens, it’s not surprising that the boys are capable of picking up unfamiliar instruments and having a tinker. It is however surprising to see the band move boldly away from

the ‘Queens of the Stone Age-sound’ so successfully propagated in previous EP’s. The album covers a span of rock, from rootsy Americana, to grungy power chords and even lighter pop-oriented material. While Linacre maintains that diversity was always within the musical realms of Kingswood, he credits Powell and Nashville for the confi dence to explore those avenues in Microscopic Wars.

“Powell made us feel like there were absolutely no boundaries. He made us feel really confi dent and free to do whatever we wanted. I think it was good to get out of Australia and the leave the whole mindset of ‘will this fl y on a certain radio station?’ behind us. It’s not something anyone wants to admit to thinking when writing a song, but it’s a hang-up for many Australian musicians. A good way to escape all that was to get out of the country and be in Nashville where so many incredible musicians and people surrounded us. We just wanted to make music we’d love and the musicians around us would respect.”

Microscopic Wars stormed into the

ARIA charts top ten. Despite the band’s lack of emphasizing appeal to the major broadcaster, several singles from the album have invaded tripe j’s airwaves on high-rotation.

While the Microscopic Wars has taken the band to a new level, Kingswood had the unique experience of touring almost every major Australian festival prior to releasing their fi rst album, in addition to supporting the likes of Aerosmith, Grinspoon and The Living End on their national tours.

“I think we kind of didn’t feel like we deserved it. I always felt that you weren’t a ‘real’ band until you had an album, until you could hold that album in your hand and say this is our fi rst album. It’s the gun, you know?”

Smoking gun now in hand, the boys will turn their sights to international shores next year, hoping to expand their touring opportunities in America and Europe. For now, you can catch Kingswood at Chelsea Heights Hotel on February 6. Tickets and more info at www.ticketmaster.com.au

Enjoy two fun filled days with friends and family at the iconic Frankston Waterfront Festival held at Victoria’s most popular foreshore on January 17 and 18.

The relaxed bayside location provides the perfect backdrop for a summer favourite on the Peninsula with the event promising locals and visitors a weekend jam packed with free activities, market stalls, great food and wine and live music.

The Live ‘n’ Local stage will show case some great talent including Tiana V, The Peninsula Folk Club and The Medley Boys but all eyes will no doubt be on this years headline act the Rolling Stones Show.

Enjoy Australia’s Rolling Stones experience at the glittering waters edge from 8pm on Saturday as the well known Melbourne musos and Stones maniacs put on their ‘down ‘n’ dirty’ version of the Stones. Featuring a wealth of ‘St Kilda Stones Society’ musicians, they pride themselves on recreating the looseness and energy of a Stones event that is extremely close to the real thing. If that’s not enough the band will lead into a

dazzling fi reworks display over the bay at 9.45pm.

Yes, there is even more to come the following day. If spending a summer’s weekend by the bay with good friends and good food isn’t enough, capping off the festival on Sunday at 5pm, a melting pot of reggae, Cuban salsa, Latin dance, tropical island rhythm and Brazilian samba, Sol Nation take to the stage. The infectious four piece dish out worldly lyrics and impassioned musicianship during every performance and bring you a wealth of international musical culture. Exotic.

The music won’t be the only exciting and exotic thing on show however with stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, sailing, out-rigging and snorkelling if you feel brave or just relax with a drink at the Beer and Wine Garden.

Whatever the age, there’s fun for all at the 2015 Frankston Waterfront Festival, Pier Promenade, Frankston Waterfront, Frankston. More info go to frankston.vic.gov.au.

Get an energetic hit of Indie-rock music this Australia Day with dynamic live performers Facades launching their sound to the audience at Mornington Park.

The Mornington Peninsula based three piece group have been playing together for seven years but only recently started doing public shows and with their powerful sound and passion for live music, are quickly becoming very popular.

Facades are steadily gaining a reputation for their fanatical stage presence, solid rock grooves and funky breakdowns that infect a crowd with dancing fever and non stop toe tapping. Their English indie-rock

style comes from major infl uences such as the Arctic Monkeys, Foals, The Kooks and The Wombats.

They’ve gravitated towards the experimental approach to song writing that Foals incorporate in their music as well as the foundational pop-rock vibes you feel when hearing the Arctic Monkeys. Combine the two and you’ve got the groovy-funky-indie-rock-spawn that is Facades.

If this is your cup of English indie-rock tea then catch Facades, playing 5.30 pm at Mornington Park, corner Schnapper Point Drive and Esplanade, Australia day. SIMON BURKE

scoreboardMORNINGTON NEWS

PROVINCIALBy IT Gully Mt Eliza’s new year started with as much disappointment as its 2014 ended after being beaten by Long Island in Provincial cricket on Saturday.

Any chance of a late run at the fi nals disappeared for the Mounties, who went into the game without one day specialist and leader Lyle House, who was representing his state in the national championships.

Jason Mathers, one of the Mounties’ best performed batsmen this season, was also missing.

Mt Eliza remains on just one win for the season and now must turn its attention to avoiding relegation.

There is little question that the Mounties are the story of the year. On paper they look the goods, however that hasn’t transferred onto the fi eld.

On Saturday, they lost the toss and were forced to bowl fi rst.

Long Island openers Brad Denny (30) and Peter ‘Potto’ Connell (32) started beautifully for their team, putting on 46 for the opening partnership.

Scott Phillips contributed 23 and lower order bats Stephen Hocking (16) and Andrew Tweddle (18) ensured the Islanders’ racked up a competitive 8/165.

Craig Enwhistle was the pick of the Mt Eliza bowlers with 3/42 from 10 overs.

In reply, the Mounties lost both openers cheaply and were at one stage 2/12.

Phillips was the man who removed them both, while Greg Lamb removed Entwhistle (19) and Tim Strickland (23), just when it looked like they were going to get going.

Tom Ewing was his team’s top scorer with an unbeaten 39, however, Mt Eliza run out of overs and were restricted to 6/143.

Langwarrin recovered from being

4/37 and 5/68 to score 8/145 against Crib Point. It was enough for them to win the game.

Danny Weare again resurrected the Kangas’ innings with 35 and next generation players Matt Prosser (15) and Taylor Smith (21) consolidated. Former skipper at Langwarrin and Seaford, Nathan Volpe, was superb at the death with 42.

Glenn Barclay and Henry Dolphins snared two wickets each for the Pies.

In reply, the home side was never in the hunt. Henry Dolphin was trapped leg before by Adrian Mack for a duck and when debutant Joel Bateman had Luke Herrington caught for three, there was little chance of a Magpies’ win.

Mack fi nished with 2/6 from 6.2 overs, while Dwayne Doig picked up 3/43 from eight overs. Jake D’Atri was also superb with 2/14 from 10 overs.

Mornington, as expected, got the job done against Heatherhill.

The Dogs batted fi rst and made 7/184,

Matt Foon top scoring with 33, Ben Clements getting 32, Sam Buchanan 28 and Luke Harper 28.

In reply, the Ducs had a great crack but ran out of balls, fi nishing on 8/160.

Young gun Kristian Miller scored 40 while Brett Maxwell top scored with 53, giving him man of the match honours after picking up 2/39 with the ball.

Brodie Symons picked up three wickets for the Dogs in his second game for his new club.

Peninsula Old Boys continue to set the pace, easily accounting for Pines.

The Piners batted fi rst and made 143 in 38 overs, Brett Remy top scoring with 33 and Jeremy Weare getting 21 at the top of the order.

Adam Gailitis picked up 3/24 from 10 overs for the Old Boys, while Jon Forrest snared 3/12 from four overs.

In reply, the Old Boys made the runs with eight wickets and 10 overs in hand.

Dylan O’Malley hit 55, which included seven fours and two that

cleared the rope, Matt Hyden made 26, Brandon Lawler 32 and Eivion Bowen 27.

Rye made light work of Moorooduc, who went into the game without leader Bob Wilson, who was also on Victorian duties.

Tom Baron made 62 and Matt Dunn 36 for the Demons in their 8/158.

Sushant Gupta was superb with the ball for the Ducs with 5/28 from 10 overs.

In reply, only Ben Williams (15) and Jack Kennedy (25) in his fi rst game since crossing from Somerville hit double fi gures.

Leigh Lambert, Aaron Fiddes and Cam Dunn all picked up three wickets each for the Demons.

The much anticipated game between Baxter and Sorrento was a draw without a ball being bowled.

The captains called the game off, Baxter Park a sponge with water after the heavy rains on Friday.

DISTRICTBy IT Gully THE District fi nals race continued to hot up on Saturday after the Round 7 one day matches.

Baden Powell’s resurgence continued on Saturday and in doing so, added further grief to Delacombe Park.

The Parkers made the grand fi nal last season and were expected to be well in the mix again for the title in 2014/15, however, they are starting to lose their grip on the top four.

On Saturday, they bowled fi rst against the Braves, who were superb in reaching 4/179 from its 40 overs. Rhys Elmi top scored with 56 and Sean Wilson helped himself to 54. This follows his 51 against Seaford in the previous round. Wilson opened the season in his fi rst three games with scores of 0, 2, 0 and 7. He has made 130 runs in his last three hits.

Shane Deal with 2/32 from 10 overs was the best of the Delacombe bowlers.

In reply, the home side was rolled for 160 in the 38th over. Nick Christides opened with 64 and Jon Guthrie hit 30. Deal at the end contributed 20.

Sam Harrison was the best of the bowlers in his third match this season for the Braves with 4/35.

Mt Martha and Hastings fought out a close, low scoring match, the Reds getting the job done by seven runs.

Mt Martha batted fi rst and were restricted to 9/119 from 40 overs. Mitchel Darville top scored with 48.

Carey Sawosz was the best of the Blues bowlers with 3/15 from 10 overs, while Tim Birch snared 3/38.

In reply, Hastings was bowled out for 112.

Max McKenzie picked up 3/22 from 10 overs in his fi rst senior game for the Reds, while Curtis Stone was the difference between the sides with 3/10 from 9.2 overs.

Main Ridge cruised to victory against Boneo, winning with 20 overs to spare.

The Pandas were restricted to 8/132 from 40 overs before the Ridge smacked 2/134 in 20 overs.

Brad Rossborough clubbed an unbeaten 51 to give him 422 runs for the season while Gareth Wyatt contributed an unbeaten 43.

Carrum got over the line against Flinders with one over to spare.

The Sharks batted fi rst and made 7/157, Tim Clements top scoring with 45 and openers Andrew Power (31) and Tim Clarke (33) getting their side away to a fl ier.

In reply, the Lions didn’t start as well but the middle order of Daniel Polson (33) and Liam Dobson (25) guided the side home.

Max Royal was superb for the Sharks with the ball, claiming 5/29 from 10 overs.

Red Hill still sits on top of the ladder more than 30 points clear after cruising to victory against Seaford Tigers.

The Tigers batted fi rst and were held to 9/104 from 40 overs. Corey Hand top scored with 25.

Andrew Mock was brilliant with the ball for the Hillmen with 5/22 from 10 overs.

In reply, Nick Shaw opened with 44 to help the Hillmen score 127 in 34 overs.

Tom Burgdorf almost pulled off a win for the Tigers on his own, taking 6/30 from nine overs.

In the fi nal game, Somerville was too strong for Seaford.

The Eagles made 8/180 in their 40 overs, Justin Allsop top scoring with 36 and Jamie Rowland hitting 35.

Aaron Peebles was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 4/45 from 10 overs.

In reply, Seaford was bowled out for 159 in 38.4 overs. Ryan McQueen top scored with 43 while paul Hartle hit 41.
