Your guide to what’s on this weekend

for peninsula families

THE long wait for a new waste transfer station for Frankston is almost over.

Frankston Council has signed a con-tract to buy the previously privately op-erated waste station in Harold Rd, Skye for $11 million.

Mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said settle-ment of the purchase is due in July this year with council aiming to open the station in October.

“Two years ago, council gave a com-mitment to the community that we would provide them with a waste trans-fer station and we have delivered,” Cr Mayer said.

“It will be a regional facility and council is applying to the state govern-ment for funding on this basis.”

The municipality has been without a recycling and waste transfer station since the previous facility on Centenary Park Drive, Frankston was closed in 2010 due to the construction of Penin-sula Link.

Frankston residents have been frus-trated by the lack of a hard waste rub-bish tip and have been forced to travel elsewhere to dispose of waste and recy-cling materials.

Neighbouring Mornington Peninsula Shire charges Frankston residents more than its ratepayers to dump rubbish at its waste transfer station in Mornington.

A previous commercial waste transfer station at Skye’s Harold Rd run by Skye Sands Pty Ltd, owned by former race car driver Rusty French, was shut down in late 2010.

The site was closed by council after failing to meet permit conditions.

The new waste transfer station at Harold Rd will accept hard waste, re-cyclable materials, tree branches and prunings. Food waste, asbestos, hazard-ous liquid and medical waste will not be accepted.

VicRoads will be asked to approve improvements to Ballarto and Harold roads as a condition of the sire purchase by council.

“All councillors are pleased that council can fi nally offer this service to our residents,” Cr Mayer said.

The mayor said purchase negotiations had been extensive but councillors are “delighted” with the result.

Nearby Skye residents are not so de-lighted.

The Times understands residents wrote to council in August last year objecting to the re-establishment of a waste transfer station near their homes.

SWIMMERS need to understand that each beach is different and conditions can change quickly.

This is the message from Frankston Life Saving Club president Ash Presser, speaking after lifesavers rescued 19 people on a sweltering Saturday 3 January.

A blustery afternoon cool change on the 40-degree day brought strong winds and big waves to the beach, putting hundreds of swimmers in danger.

The number of rescues was a record for the club, which has 25 patrol members and is looking for more. Many of the rescues were outside fl agged areas.

Mr Presser said the need to treat other fi rst aid incidents made the day “extremely busy”. He said the club was experiencing an increasing number of rescues outside patrolled areas – placing an unwelcome stretch on resources.

Most people rescued were aged 16-30, with a quarter affected by alcohol and unable to cope with the rising seas and strong currents. Many had jumped off the pier and been caught in a rip or become stuck holding onto a pylon when the wind picked up.

IT wasn’t a bomb, but it was just as destructive. A Frankston house was partly demolished last Wednesday afternoon when its hot water service exploded.

The force of the blast in Drum Close destroyed much of the rear of the house and part of the roof. It is believed no one was home at the time.

Witnesses said the hot water tank “took off like a rocket” and ended up on a nature strip in Dalpura Circuit.

“When it exploded there was a loud bang and it shook houses for quite a distance around,” said a neighbour, who asked not to be named.

“We ran outside and someone saw the water tank a few hundred yards up in the sky, and then debris rained down on nearby houses.

“One resident raced to protect his children, who were in a swimming pool as rubble rained down. The water tank and pieces of roof tiles ended up in Dalpura Circuit. The house next door had its fence, belongings and car damaged.”

Detective Acting Sergeant Mark Garett, of Frankston Crime Investigation Unit, said the house’s occupant had been interviewed and “investigations are ongoing”.

Two Frankston CFA trucks and fi ve crew members attended the scene just before 5pm. Senior station offi cer Graham Kirk said he was unsure what had caused the explosion but it appeared the pressure release valve had been blocked.

“It might not have been done maliciously,” he said. “It might have

been done to fi x a leak.” Mr Kirk said his members monitored

air samples for fl ammable gas and used a thermal imaging camera inside and outside the house to determine the cause of the explosion. None was found.

After the big bang, a plumber, who lives nearby, turned off the gas and water to make the scene safe. He said it appeared the hot water service had been tampered with and the pressure valve capped.

Police gas investigators attended the scene later in the day.

DARNLEY Drive in Skye came alive last Thursday afternoon when four men began brawling in the street.

Bottles, knives and bricks were used in the fi ght, which ended when one of the men, aged about 50, was allegedly run down by a Toyota Prius. He was taken to The Alfred hospital by MICA ambulance.

It is believed the man lives in the street, while others involved came by car.

Detective Senior Constable Ash Eames, of Frankston Crime Investigation Unit, said one of the men had been charged with intentionally and recklessly causing injury, reckless conduct endangering life, and affray. He said the others had, or would be, charged with affray.

Anyone who witnessed the incident near McClelland Drive at the Ballarto Rd end is asked to call Frankston police on 9784 5555.

DOMESTIC violence statistics covering not only the peninsula but also the entire nation suggest that at least one in three women is personally affected by it.

In an effort to tackle domestic violence at a grass roots level, Sisterhood Frankston and Mornington Peninsula has been created through an initiative of Frankston Toy Library.

Sisterhood aims to lead innovative change in the community and has been developed to be copied by other communities, founder Sandi Walters said.

Ms Walters said much of the effort, fundraising, research and support in the fi ght against domestic violence was provided long after the violence had begun.

She said a call-to-action forum would be held 6.30pm on 13 March at Frankston Arts Centre. Rosie Batty and local specialists have been confi rmed as speakers. Tickets are free from Frankston Arts Centre on 9784 1060.

While the fi rst challenge of the group would be domestic violence, it had been designed to allow future growth into homelessness, safety and as an angel network, Ms Walters said.

Sisterhood is focused on prevention while also supporting those already in the fi eld working with victims.

The mission of Sisterhood Mornington Peninsula is to empower women in the community by providing education, information, awareness, prevention techniques and support; to undertake activities that will encourage community spirit; transparent communication across the region; positive representation in the area as well as broad community stakeholder involvement; and to initiate innovative change in the community.

The group works with councils, MPs, police, and service workers.

Sisterhood is on Facebook at “Sisterhood FMP”.

Smash but no grabA CAR drove through the front of Frankston cinema complex and twice reversed into an ATM last week, but the would-be thieves drove off empty-handed as the machine had been emptied.

Closed circuit TV footage showed the dark green sedan smashing through the glass doors of the Karingal Drive complex about 4.25am on Monday.

Two people were inside the cinema complex at the time but escaped injury.

The dark green Holden sedan has a spoiler on the back and sports wheels.

Frankston Crime Investigation Unit is investigating the incident. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au

In tune: Singer-songwriter Tiana V will perform at this weekend’s Frankston Waterfront Festival. Picture: Yanni

MUSICIANS are getting ready to hit the stage at the Frankston Waterfront Festival this weekend.

The family-friendly festival show-cases the best live music Frankston and the peninsula has to offer each year.

The festival attracts 35,000 people and offers a weekend jam packed with live music, free activities, market stalls, food and wine, amusements, motorbike rides and the chance to meet the St Kilda Football Club play-ers.

Children can try out paddle board-ing, canoeing, sailing, out-rigging and snorkelling or swim with ‘mermaid-ens’ Nerissa and Aradia through the waves.

Singer-songwriter Tania luculano, whose stage name is Tiana V, is one of the many performers appearing at the two-day festival. She fi rst picked up a guitar at the age of 8 and said she is inspired by the likes of Jewel, Tracy Chapman and Tori Amos.

The 33-year-old moved from Mel-bourne to the Mornington Peninsula three years ago and is impressed by the vibrancy and support for live music in the region.

“The local community is amazing and the live music scene on the penin-sula is really great,” she said.

“There is somewhere to play every weekend.”

Tiana V scored her latest gig on the Frankston Waterfront Festival bill after performing at the mayoral picnic last year.

Then Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor was so taken by her singing talent that he asked her to sing at his

On song for Waterfront Festival

VIP cocktail party. That gig led to the Waterfront Festival booking.

She describes her music as “acoustic urban”.

“It’s quite raw, it’s about real life and my experiences and isn’t contrived.”

Tiana V’s What It’s Really Like EP, featuring fi ve songs, is available via iTunes and Spotify.

She will perform on the Live ‘n’ Local stage with Sol Nation, The Pen-insula Folk Club,The Medley Boys and

more. The Rolling Stones Tribute Band will headline.

The Frankston Waterfront Festi-val, hosted by Channel 9 Postcards presenter Brodie Harper, runs from 11am-10pm on Saturday 17 January and 11am-6pm on Sunday 18 January at Pier Promenade, Frankston.

WHILE tens of thousands of holiday-makers descend on the Mornington Peninsula over summer, offi cial statis-tics 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.

Negotiations between Mr Hibbert and Frankston Council had appeared to stall late last year (‘No end in sight for cabin park site deal’, The Times 22/12/14) but council announced on Christmas eve that it would extend the cabin park’s lease.

Mayor Cr Sandra Meyer said “this is great news for the cabin park residents”.

“We have listened to their views and decided to renew the cabin park’s lease on Crown land.”

Deputy mayor Cr Glenn Aitken and councillors Rebekah Spelman and Colin Hampton attended a public meeting hosted by the Seaford Community Com-mittee in November to hear residents’ concerns that they would be evicted if council pressed ahead with plans to build a car park on the Crown land portion of the cabin park.

Council said it would work closely with Mr Hibbert to ensure cabins com-ply with planning, health and building regulations. Another condition of the 10-year lease would include “a requirement that any future tenant rental increases are minimal”, according to council.

Mr Hibbert said he is “relieved” coun-

cil decided to extend the lease since it would give the disadvantaged and mar-ginalised residents who live at the cabin park some “certainty” about their living arrangements.

The cabin park owner said there are still some aspects of the lease to be “nut-ted out”.

He told The Times council is demand-ing a $50,000 bond and a year’s worth of rent upfront, totalling about $90,000.

He said council had also requested he “replace the cabins”.

Mr Hibbert said this would cost “about $3 million to $4 million” and was not vi-able with a 10-year lease.

He said council had subsequently sug-gested “2 or 3 cabins” be replaced each year.

“I’m trying to keep the costs to resi-dents down and would have to pass on the costs to residents if that was the case,” Mr Hibbert said.

“Yet council are telling me I can’t in-crease rents by any more than the CPI [consumer price index] rate.”

Cr Mayer said “we are proposing terms and conditions in the lease to en-sure improvements are made to enhance the site and upgrade facilities to better support resident wellbeing”.

Council and Mr Hibbert will discuss the terms of the new 10-year lease at a meeting in mid-January.

Mr Hibbert hoped the situation could be resolved “but they’re making it hard for me”.

MP wants Frankston to be winnerMP wants Frankston to be winnerNEW Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke is relishing life as an elected member of parliament after winning the seat at November’s state election.

The 36-year-old former fi refi ghter, now Labor MP, has moved into the Young St electorate offi ce used by previous incumbents.

It took two recounts before Mr Edbrooke was formally announced the victor over nearest challenger, Liberal candidate Sean Armistead, by a slim 0.9 per cent margin.

Mr Edbrooke said his offi ce is “open for business” from today (Monday 12 January) although he has already been fi elding constituents’ queries.

“The feedback from the community has been really great,” he said.

“My door is open and I’m here to seek answers for people from government ministers if required.”

The MP used his maiden speech in parliament last month to declare he is “honoured” to represent Frankston, “a beautiful city with a proud working history”.

“Some welfare agencies in Frankston believe the youth unemployment percentage in the area is registering in the high teens,” Mr Edbrooke said in his speech.

“Most of these kids are good kids and just need the opportunities that have taken from them. The increase of funding for TAFEs and the correct funding for our education system are ways of providing our kids a positive and a constructive future.”

Mr Edbrooke told The Times

Neil [email protected]

he formally met with Frankston councillors for the fi rst time as an MP last week and it had been “really positive”.

He hoped any political differences will be set aside to ensure Frankston’s “reputation is lifted over the next few days”.

“At the end of the day, we’re all for Frankston.”

The father of three may be able to call on an expert to spin his way out of trouble if political problems emerge.

Mr Edbrooke thanked wife, Kirsten, and children Charlie, Hunter

and Jack for “their patience, love and inspiration”.

He said six-year-old Jack had been told he “had to dress up to go to Parliament”.

“He ran down the hall and said, ‘What do I dress up as?’, so we almost had Spider-Man here this morning.”

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

The “early viewing” at www.morningtonartshow.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 “stylish black and white” event at the Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilson’s Rd, Morning-ton, with entertainment from the Four Seasons String Quartet, gourmet fi nger food and other “quality refreshments”.

“We have been delighted with the enthusiastic response from Peninsula artists,” exhibition convenor Rotarian David Benson said. “We are also pleased to have strong representation from Mel-bourne 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 exhibition 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 com-mence and fi nish at the scheduled times.

In the adjoining exhibition entrance several artists will be continuing their exhibition long work developing a painting from conception to fi nished product hopefully inspiring the junior artists in the marque. Within the Ex-hibition are subsections devoted to our featured artist Nancy Thurlby and to a VCE Student Art Show which displays numerous selected student artworks from local secondary schools.

Free tea, coffee and biscuits will be available for Exhibition patrons.

WHAT do family, friends and community mean to you? The question is the theme for Peninsula Proud 2015, a community celebration to be held in Frankston during Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival this month and next.

With a focus on gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer relationships (GLBTIQ), Peninsula Proud 2015 organisers say the festival is set to be bigger and better than ever.

An art show from Tuesday 20 January to Saturday 7 February will explore relationships through artwork and multimedia presentations. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 10am-4pm at Cube 37, Frankston Arts Centre, Davey St.

Human rights activist Tony Briffa will speak at Celebration Day on Saturday 7 February 11am-3pm at Cube 37.

The day will feature a barbecue, stalls, services, rainbow families, hands-on art, and information for all ages.

“Peninsula Proud is an initiative of our GLBTIQ community advisory group,” Peninsula Health’s chief operating offi cer Jan Child said.

“This very active group of community members works with Peninsula Health to break down barriers, provide more GLBTIQ-sensitive healthcare, and improve inclusion.

“It’s great to be bringing a Midsumma event to Frankston, and we look forward to welcoming people of all ages to the event.”

Peninsula Proud is organised by Peninsula Health with support from Frankston Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire. Call 9784 7990 or email [email protected]

The People’s Place Music Club has found a new venue at Somerville Bowling Club to continue giving amateurs a chance to shine on stage.

Club members Jamez Harrison and Sally Carter will host an open-mic event with a difference at midday on Saturday 18 January at Somerville Bowling Club.

Singers will be able to perform backed by a live band of People’s Place Music Club musicians in a fun environment dubbed ‘bandoke’ by Harrison.

The irrepressible happy-go-lucky Harrison said the band

had a catalogue of “about 600 songs spanning from the 1920s to the noughties” singers can choose to perform.

“It was a shame to leave the Mahogany centre but sometimes something good can come out of something bad,” Harrison said.

Frankston Council took control of the Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre’s operations from a residents’ management committee late last year (‘Centre staff take early leave’, The Times 15/12/14).Sing with the talented People’s Place Music Club band or enjoy the show at Somerville Bowling Club, Jones Rd, Somerville on Saturday 18 January, 12-1.30pm. $5 entry.

Chairlift gondola Chairlift gondola clears legal hurdleclears legal hurdleMike [email protected]

A MAJOR legal obstacle to the $18 million gondola chairlift on Arthurs Seat has been removed with Save Our Seat announcing it will not appeal a planning tribunal decision in the Su-preme Court.

Save Our Seat had until last Wednes-day to lodge an appeal against the Vic-torian Civil and Administrative Tribu-nal’s December decision to confi rm Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s approval of the ride last June.

Save Our Seat spokeswoman Kylie Greer said “on advice from our bar-risters, we would be hard pressed to overturn the VCAT decision”.

Ms Greer said deciding not to ap-peal would not stop SOS from “pur-suing political means” to prevent the gondola being built or challenging

any subsequent decision by the shire to approve the chairlift consortium’s Bushfi re Emergency Plan, which has not been fi nalised.

“We are extremely disappointed, but our next step is to lobby state govern-ment, the CFA and Mornington Pen-insula Shire to make sure conditions are strictly adhered to,” she told The Times.

The group is concerned that bushfi re matters have not been dealt with ad-equately by authorities.

One of the group’s barristers, Rupert Watters, who worked for the Environ-ment Defenders Offi ce in Victoria and has been involved in several high-pro-fi le environment cases in Queensland and Tasmania, has told SOS that VCAT “plainly considered that it did have adequate material to make an as-sessment of the risk posed by fi re and its manageability”.

SOS said it would likely lobby poli-ticians, including new state Environ-ment Minister Lisa Neville, and rel-evant statutory authorities as Arthurs Seat Skylift had not yet signed a lease with Parks Victoria.

Skylift’s Bushfi re Emergency Plan must be approved by the shire council and other organisations.

Late last month, Skylift spokesman Simon McKeon said the consortium expected to sign a 50-year lease with Parks Victoria in the new year.

Mr McKeon said Skylift had been working with people “at the highest level of the CFA for four years”. “The gondola will not run on Code Red and other days of high fi re danger,” he said.

The Times understands some shire councillors are looking at the gondola proposal. It was approved by one vote mid-2014 and the balance of power on the council has changed since then.

A SPATE of trailer thefts has Morning-ton 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.

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.

Anyone with information can call Mornington police on 5970 4900.

Police hunt for trailer thieves Police hunt for trailer thieves

WITH Frankston Waterfront likely to be Victoria’s most visited beach once again this year, we should be making it look great.

That’s the call from mayor Cr Sandra Mayer as the summer season gets into full swing.

“Littering on our beaches has been an issue with such high visitation numbers, and council has introduced education programs over the past few years that have helped reduce the amount of litter we have to collect,” Cr Mayer said.

“Unfortunately, the message hasn’t got through to everyone, but we do appreciate the efforts of those who put their rubbish in the bins and present a better image of Frankston and Seaford beaches for the hundreds of thousands who visit.”

The council’s foreshore team is in full summer mode, with rubbish being cleaned from the beach and foreshore areas around the waterfront each day. Bins are emptied twice daily on hot days, with the sweeper cleaning the beach three times a week or daily when visitor numbers are high.

The council has also installed more large bins at Frankston Waterfront, Seaford Life Saving Club and Keast Park. Until the end of the Easter school holidays, 12 additional bins will be placed on Frankston and Seaford foreshores.

Cr Mayer said cigarette butts, nappies, glass bottles, plastic bags and takeaway wrappers were the most commonly found items on the beach and foreshore. These have negative effects on the marine environment if they wash into Port Phillip.

“Every morning during summer the foreshore team spends hours cleaning up the rubbish of the previous day’s visitors,” she said.

“Not only can rubbish harm wildlife, but also small children can pick up small bits of litter – like cigarette butts – and put them in their mouths, which no one wants to see and is potentially very harmful.

“So, please, put your rubbish in the bin. If they are full at the end of a warm day, please take rubbish with you.”

Keep popular beach cleanKeep popular beach cleanDon’t waste waterfront: Frankston Council has installed more bins for litter to keep beaches and their surrounds clean over the summer months.

Blessed: Clockwise from top, Adam Kaoullas is fi rst to retrieve the wooden cross at Frankston’s Blessing of the Waters ritual and returns it to Bishop Jacob Iakovos before celebrating his success with younger brother Antonio Portelli. Pictures: Gary Sissons

In the swim for cross blessingTHIS year’s Blessing of the Waters went swimmingly after high winds prevented participants diving for the cross the year before.

Crowds gathered at Frankston Pier on Tuesday 6 January to watch a large group of young men scramble for the wooden cross tossed into the sea by Greek Orthodox Church Bishop Jacob Iakovos to mark Epiphany Day.

The day celebrates the baby Jesus being visited by three kings in Bethlehem and later being baptised in the River Jordan by John the Baptist.

The throwing of the cross blesses the waters.

Adam Kaoullas of Sandringham was quickest to retrieve the cross this year and hopes to benefi t from the 12 months of good luck and prosperity bestowed upon the fi rst to grab the cross, according to religious beliefs.

The 21-year-old said he had taken part in the Blessings of the Waters in Frankston twice before so “it’s third time lucky”.

The Greek Orthodox baptised Sandringham resident said he takes part in the Frankston blessing because his grandparents, Paraskevas Emetlis and Kaliopi Emetlis, attend the Greek Orthodox

Neil [email protected]

Church in Frankston.“I know how much it means

to them to see me dive in,” Mr Kaoullas said.

He said he was determined to be fi rst to seize the cross this time around.

“I thought whoever wants it the most will get it.”

Mr Kaoullas has a big 2015 lined up.

The Deakin University student is heading to San Diego for six months on an exchange visit as part of his Business of Management course.

He owns a personal fi tness business and will consider his future plans when he returns from the US.

The Blessing of the Waters ceremony began in Frankston and Epiphany Day rituals are now also carried out at Rye and South Melbourne piers.

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.

***OWNERS of horses suitable for artil-lery or remount purposes, who wish to dispose of them are notifi ed that Messrs A. Scott and Co will hold an inspection at Tanti yards, on Monday next, at 12 o’clock.

***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 them- selves 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 adver- tise 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.

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.

Healthy Living

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 .

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

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.

Frankston Times 12 January 2015 PAGE 39

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,

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.

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.

ISUZU UTE Australia (IUA) has fi rmly es-tablished itself as an imposing franchise in the Australian automotive industry with the recent achievement of several key milestones that have propelled the distributor into the next stage of its evolution.

Spearheading the achievements, IUA fi nished 2014 with its strongest sales fi gures in its six year history. IUA registered a total of 2,339 vehicle sales for the month of December – com-prising 1,775 one-tonne D-MAX utes and 564 units of its seven-seat MU-X SUV.

A particular highlight for the Japanese brand in December was its D-MAX ute convincingly outselling several rivals; the Holden Colorado (1,295), Mazda’s BT-50 (1,126) and Nissan’s Navara (1,117).

IUA’s bumper month helped the rapidly-grow-ing distributor record a total of 16,674 vehicle sales in 2014 – an impressive YTD increase of 6,465 vehicles (63.3% increase on 2013).

December 2014 also delivered the outfi t the sale of its 50,000th vehicle since entering the Australian market in late-2008 (50,020 to date – 45,275 D-MAX / 4,745 MU-X).

IUA’s accelerated growth in 2014 was in part helped by the introduction of the MU-X, as well as stronger fl eet sales performance which was buoyed by the introduction of an ANCAP 5-Star safety rating and improved 3.5 tonne towing

capacity on all of its 4x4 D-MAX models.The signifi cant sales improvement can also be

attributed to the continual expansion of Isuzu UTE’s dealership network – which now num-bers more than 100 dealers nationally (up from 39 in 2008). Recent additions to IUA’s dealer-ship footprint include a combination of high-profi le metropolitan and regional locations along with several rural outlets designed to service and support IUA’s growing mining fl eet customers.

Isuzu UTE Australia Managing Director & CEO, Yasuhiro Takeuchi said: “I am extremely happy with the rapid growth our franchise has achieved and would like to thank our dealers and their staff for their continued commitment to ensuring our customers receive the very best service and the brand enjoys the success it deserves.

“It was only a couple of years ago we were celebrating the sale of our 10,000th vehicle – so to be realising 50,000 units so quickly is a testa-ment to both the strength of our products and satisfaction of our customers.

“We have some very exciting plans afoot to ensure our growth is not only sustainable, but increased in 2015 and beyond.”
