Australia day on the peninsula MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will be hosting a number of events on Thursday January 26 to celebrate Australia Day. The family-friendly celebrations will feature live music concerts, fun runs, spectacular firework displays, traditional flag raising ceremonies and loads of entertainment for everyone in the family. Thousands of people will line Main Street Mornington to cheer on more than 40 community, sporting and cultural groups as they make their way to Mornington Park for the Australia Day parade.
This year the parade will showcase the Mornington Fire Brigade who are celebrating their 100 year centenary. The crew will be on show with their vintage firefighting equipment and vehicles during the parade. Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Bev Colomb said she is looking forward to coming together with the local community to celebrate what it means to be an Australian. “I strongly encourage all residents to join in with the Australia Day festivities across the peninsula. Australia Day is a great time to acknowledge those in our community who are making
GUIDE
a real difference, especially our volunteers who are the heart and soul of communities across the peninsula. I wish everyone a fantastic Australia Day as we celebrate our great country and our great peninsula,” said Councillor Colomb. This year, when uploading a photo or posting on social media, don’t forget to use #ausdaymornpen to see how everyone across the peninsula is celebrating Australia Day. For more information on Australia Day visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/ australiaday.
Wilson rocks Australia Day
WHEN you’ve been in the music industry as long as Ross Wilson, doing a gig like Australia Day is a lot more like fun than hard work. Ross Wilson and the Peaceniks will hit the peninsula this Australia Day, January 26, for a rocking concert at the Mornington Foreshore. From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock, as a solo artist to songwriter, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most respected and well-known artists. From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem Eagle Rock smashed all previous sales records in Australia to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering hits such as ‘Cool World’, ‘State of The Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’, and ‘Come said The Boy’ before Ross left to pursue a solo career. Finding fame and fortune with Daddy Cool in the early 70s, Wilson says he realized after the band dispersed how hard it had been to handle that kind of notoriety. “I kind of realized I was a bit nuts at the time. First of all you go around and the spotlight is on you and you become a bit overwhelmed, so when Mondo Rock took off I was more prepared,” said Wilson, who started out singing in the school choir and in a band at school. “I grew up in a musical household so got into my first band at school, and playing gigs weekends. Then I decided to take a leap off the ledge without a net and got into it full time,” says Wilson. “My parents were very supportive. Dad really never mentioned it as a problem and over time I proved to him that I
could make it work.” As for longevity, Wilson says being in the position of a lead singer and a writer gives him the ability to marshal all the forces together and direct what’s going on, as well producing other albums like Skyhooks. “When I saw Skyhooks I sort of became their mentor. I was sticking up for them and watching out for them in the industry. I was really glad they signed with Mushroom because I didn’t want them to be censored.” The most difficult part of the 40-year journey, he says, was being young and a little naïve. “When you start off young and full of enthusiasm you tend to be more trusting so you have to learn. It’s the classic story of artists being exploited. These days it’s a lot more business like though with more resources available. There was no such thing as showbiz lawyers and little advice when we started out.” These days Wilson’s musical tastes are varied. “My musical style has changed a bit I think and I’m always looking for something different. I’m a music omnivore,” he says with a laugh. “We will definitely play Eagle Rock though. Its Australia day so what could be more Australian than Eagle rock?” Ross Wilson and the Peaceniks will be at Mornington Australia Day on Thursday, January 26, 2017 at the Mornington foreshore.

Lantasia dreaming LANTASIA Dreaming transforms the Mornington Peninsula’s Boneo Maze into an ethereal Night Garden this Summer, as Boneo Maze and Gardens evolve into a living canvas where light dances on the landscape. The enchanting gardens and wetlands of Boneo Maze in Fingal have provided the inspiration for over 80 hand-crafted lanterns at dusk. As the sun sets, the lights of the stunning silk sculptures illuminate in the natural landscape and a journey into fantasy and tranquility begins. The lanterns whisper the story of Australian animals and plants and explore ideas underpinning Aboriginal Dreamtime stories. Children and adults alike will be captivated by the glow of the gardens as they wander 27 acres of garden, boardwalks and outdoor play spaces. With Lantasia returning for its second year these specially designed new sculptures captivate visitors as they transform bush land and peaceful gardens into a dream like walk-through journey. Dreamtime characters will shimmer on the landscape as visitors encounter the Elder wombat, Waa the wise crow, the heroic eagle Bunjil, the thirsty frog Tiddalik and their friends. Mesmerising 3m high sculptures cast shimmering reflections over the lakes and waterways at Boneo Maze, while cute illuminated critters inspire imagination. Working in collaboration with Lionel Lauch, of Living Culture (a Gunditjmara Kirrae Wurrung-Bundjalung man) alongside his niece Carla Lauch, visitors young and old will learn more about Aboriginal Australia through Lionel’s didgeridoo meditation performances, bush tucker gatherings and tools and weapons demonstrations. Each evening in Summer as the sun sets and the sky turns pink, then inky black the mythical and magical sculptures really come to life. In
the games garden, families can picnic under the stars surrounded by glowing sculptures or enjoy supper at the lakeside café as you watch the gardens glow. Frog calls and bush sounds mingle with laughter and chatter– this is an outdoor experience like no other in a truly magical setting. After a successful Lantasia season last summer for Boneo Maze, Managers Tyson Savanah and Justine Watt are thrilled to incorporate new designs and storytelling elements into this year’s event, which play a starring role in the natural amphitheater. “By opening the gardens of Boneo Maze again, creating unique light sculpture ambience, we’re hoping to bring a little bit of magic to the Mornington Peninsula,” said Tyson. Boneo Maze’s popular twilight mini-golf is included in ticket entry price and their newly licensed cafe will serve Indigenous inspired meals accompanied by locally sourced Mornington Peninsula wines and beers. LANTASIA at Boneo Maze opens nightly from 26th December, 2016. Tickets available at the gate. Jump online for www.boneomaze.com.au to pre purchase tickets and dinner deals.

‘Wake-up call’ for bays Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE release of a State of the Bays report is regarded as a “critical first step in securing the good health of our marine environments”, according to the Victorian National Parks Association.
“Port Phillip Bay and Western Port are under increasing pressure as the populations of Melbourne, Geelong and the bays’ catchments continue to grow,” the association’s marine and coastal campaigner Chris Smyth said. “As a result, urban and industrial development, climate change, introduced marine pests, fishing and shipping will continue to
threaten the health of the bays.” The report studied the health of both waterways, providing a stocktake of the current knowledge of ecosystems, habitats and species. It also analysed water quality, seagrass and fish species. Victorian Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the report was a “criti-
cal piece of work to help us better understand the challenges we face in protecting our bays in the face of a changing climate”. “It found that water quality was generally good across most indicators and, despite their proximity to major urban centres and significant development catchments, both Port Phillip Bay and

Festive thanks for volunteers
VOLUNTEERS who selflessly help others each year were thanked at a Central Bayside Community Health Services party last week. The Christmas party, hosted at the Parkdale offices of CBCHS, saw volunteers sit down for a lunch served by the team from Cafe Escape. Cafe Escape in Carrier Ave, Parkdale provides hospitality training for people with intellectual disabilities. CBCHS relies on volunteers to provide health, wellbeing, aged care and disability services throughout Kingston and its surrounds. “Without the help of our volunteers, we would not be able to provide the support needed for many clients to attend our activities, outings and classes which are so important for their wellbeing,” CBCHS aged and disabilities general manager Peter Spyker said.
“The annual Christmas party is a way to thank our volunteers for their contribution and also gives them a chance to get together and socialise as a group. “Having the Christmas lunch prepared and served with help from clients from our disability day program makes this community event even more special.” CBCHS is always on the lookout for new volunteers, particularly for its Community Visitors Scheme which provides companionship to socially isolated residents living in aged care homes. CVS volunteers must be aged over 18 and able to commit to at least fortnightly visits for a minimum of 12 months. To find out more about volunteering at CBCHS, email volunteers@cbchs.org.au or call volunteer coordinator Deirdre Martinz on 8587 0296.

Gotcha: Police wrestle with the alleged car thieves in Centreway, Mordialloc, as shoppers look on. Picture: Gary Sissons
Action stations during car chase Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A LARGE group of bystanders brought busy Centreway, Mordialloc, to a halt last week as police and two Good Samaritans wrestled with four alleged teenage car thieves. Six police cars, a highway patrol car, police dog squad – and even the fire brigade – rushed to the scene after the stolen car was spotted being driven erratically on Nepean Hwy. Police saw it do a burn-out and chased it into Beach Rd and then into Centreway where it ended up on the footpath. Police will allege four Berwick teens stole the $10,000 Nissan Pulsar in Berwick, 12.45pm, Tuesday 13 December, and drove to Frankston where they al-
legedly stole liquor and drank it as they drove erratically up Nepean Hwy to Mordialloc, about 2pm. Police on the scene arrested one of the teens in the driver’s seat while the other three ran off – only to be wrestled to the ground by two members of the public. It is alleged one of the thieves punched a policeman in the face before he was sprayed with OC foam and arrested. A witness said she was shaken up when the stolen car cut across her vehicle and ended up on the footpath after clipping the kerb. Another said police had drawn their weapons in response to one of the offenders attacking the police; instead they used capsicum spray to subdue him. The youth apprehended at the scene
loudly protested that the spray was stinging his skin as he was hosed down by police. The teens, aged 19-13, were taken to Moorabbin police station where police allegedly found two were carrying knives in their shorts. One, aged 13, had to be taken to hospital due to his state of intoxication. The two older teens were charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury. The 18-year-old was remanded to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, Friday 23 December, the 19-year-old was bailed to appear at the same court, 24 January. The 13-year-old is to be interviewed at a later date and the 14-year-old has been released pending summons.
A PATTERSON Lakes man told police he was away from his house for only 10 minutes but, when he returned, saw a man poke his head out of his front door, 1.40pm, Wednesday 14 December. The man said he approached the intruder who apologised and said he “had the wrong house” before getting into a waiting car with two others inside. Police said the intruder may have entered the house by climbing a side fence and through an unlocked kitchen door. They said he may not have had time to steal anything. He is described as Caucasian, 25, 167cm, stocky build, skin head, tattoo on left forearm, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, Nike green and blue runners and clear baggy gloves. The driver of the car – a silver 2002 Toyota Hilux – had tattoos and long hair. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.
Wake in fright A WOMAN shouted “Who’s there?” when she awoke to the noise of someone trying to break into her Mordialloc house, 4.20am, Wednesday 14 December. The woman, 46, turned on all the lights and rushed upstairs to check on her two children, aged 11 and nine, who she found still asleep. Police later found jemmy marks on two windows and believe the offender managed to enter the house by forcing a laundry door. They believe he fled when the woman shouted out. Nothing was stolen. Anyone with
information is urged to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.
Knives prompt charges A FOLD-UP knife was allegedly found on a man police intercepted in Mordialloc, 8.30am, Tuesday 13 December. When the 34-year-old was brought back to Moorabbin police station for interview another smaller knife was allegedly found in his belt. The Mordialloc man was being sought on outstanding warrants on a range of offences. He was remanded to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court last week and further remanded to a date to be fixed.
Man in the house
A MORDIALLOC woman awoke to find a man standing in her lounge room in direct sight of her bed, 5.40am, Wednesday 14 December. The woman, 25, told Mordialloc police she heard her dogs barking and got up to investigate. Not seeing anything she brought the dogs inside and went back to bed. When the dogs started barking again she looked up to see the man staring at her. She screamed and the man ran off. The woman saw he had gone through her handbag stealing $70 and also rummaged through hallway drawers and a desk. The woman’s brother, who was asleep in another room, chased the man who jumped a side fence into a car park and fled. He is described as slim build, 172cm, wearing a back cap and black hoodie. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

New clubhouse up for summer A NEW $4 million lifesaving clubhouse at Mordialloc has been officially opened in time for summer. The new clubhouse includes an Indigenous Gathering Place and space for schools and community group to use for sports training and programs. More than 600 people are members of the Mordialloc Life Saving Club. A new observation tower will enable lifesavers to watch over swimmers offshore between the flags. The new clubhouse was opened by Victorian Emergency Services Minister James Merlino on Monday (19 December). “While lifesavers do incredible work, they can’t be everywhere,” Mr Merlino said. “All Victorians need to remember when enjoying the water to always swim between the flags and never swim alone.” The project was funded a ratepayer-funded contribution of $2.94 million from Kingston Council, $1 million from the Life Saving Victoria capital works program. Mordialloc Life Saving Club raised $100,000 for the construction of the new building.

Police patrol Knocked over
A WOMAN shouting “Get out of the way, old woman,” pushed a 93-yearold Mentone woman to the ground in the Southland shopping centre car park last week, police said. The incident occurred when the older woman’s son was parking in the lower level car park, off Chesterville Rd, 11am, Friday 16 December. Police are examining CCTV footage of the random attack. The unknown woman is described as Caucasian, about 30, wearing a striped top. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.
Unwanted visitors
TWO men allegedly found robbing a Mordialloc house at 3am told the female occupant, “Don’t worry, we’ll be going soon” when challenged, Monday 19 December. The woman, 57, told Mordialloc police she awoke to the sound of noises in her hallway and got up expecting to see one of her children. Instead, she saw a man whom she thought she recognised manhandling her grandfather clock. She told him: “You aren’t supposed to be here,” prompting the man to say he and an alleged accomplice would soon be leaving. The woman woke her husband who told police they were unsure what had been stolen but that their German Shepherd dog was missing. The description of the offender matched that of a man living in the same street and known to police. At his address – where the lights were on – they allegedly found ornamental statues and items stolen from the victim’s car. The dog was asleep at the front door. A 69-year-old Mordialloc man and

Festival season kicks off with carols CAROLS by Kingston went off with a bang with thousands of people flocking to enjoy a star-studded line-up, a fireworks display, Christmas market stalls and a visit from Santa. More than 8000 people joined together for a fantastic night featuring headline performer Kate Ceberano, jazz singer Nina Ferro, Greg Champion performing his Australian versions of Christmas favourites and children’s entertainers The Kazoos. Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said the much-loved annual event attracted a record crowd this year and was a great community celebration.
“Council is proud to present four major festivals each year as a chance for our community to join together,” Cr Eden said. “It was great to see so many local friends and families come together to celebrate the festive season.” Cr Eden said Carols by Kingston marks the start of Kingston Council’s popular Season of Festivals with three more great events planned for the coming months: Globe to Globe World Music Festival, Mordialloc Food, Wine & Music Festival, and the Harvest Festival. See kingston.vic.gov.au/festivals or call council on 1300 653 356 for details.

Speed check app for Link drivers Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au
Bays health check a ‘wake-up call’ Continued from Page 1 “Successive governments have failed to establish a comprehensive and integrated research and monitoring regime for Victoria’s marine environments,” he said. “This report is a wake-up call – the time to do it is now.” The State of the Bays report presents 50 assessments against 36 indicators across species including birds and fish, habitats including seagrass and rocky reefs, and critical ecosystem functions, such as nutrient cycling. “The vast majority of assessments indicate that species, habitats and ecosystems are healthy and operating as expected,” Ms D’Ambrosio said. Mr Smyth said the report, to be updated every five years, was vital for the future planning, protection and management of Victoria’s marine environments. “The Office of the Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability Victoria and the government are to be congratulated on producing the first State of the Bays report, one we expect will evolve into a regular health assessment of all marine environments in Victoria,” he said. Environmental Sustainability Commissioner Dr Gillian Sparkes described the report as an “important stocktake on the health of Port Phillip Bay and Western Port and an integral part of developing an ecosystem-wide approach to the management of our waterways”.
CONTROVERSY over a slew of speeding fines on Peninsula Link may have been avoided if motorists had been able to use Julian Varricchio’s latest innovation. The 24-year-old from Dromana has developed a free phone app that constantly displays and records a driver’s real-time speed – especially useful in point-to-point calculations, such as on freeways. The data can be used to determine an average speed and then be exported and possibly used as evidence to fight speeding infringements using what Mr Varricchio believes is incontrovertible data. “The end goal is that drivers will be recording all their trips and providing themselves with accurate data on their driving,” he said. Superintendent Glenn Weir, divisional commander of Southern Metro, which covers Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, was less than enthusiastic about the app’s potential abilities. “It sounds like a gimmick to me,” he said. “It might be a genius idea, but it has no scientific basis. It’s like those breathalysers you have at home – not worth the trouble.” However, the data would have been useful for the 60 drivers fined in October for travelling at 108kph in the same section of Peninsula Link. They reportedly are considering a class action against the state government to have their fines quashed.
Up to speed: Julian Varricchio’s phone app aims to give motorists the edge in speeding disputes. Picture: Yanni
The drivers are wondering if several point-to-point cameras on the freeway are faulty, with many claiming they always use cruise control, making it unlikely they averaged 108kph in the alleged timeframe of three minutes six seconds. “I became sick of hearing that there was no way to prove that [those] drivers weren’t speeding, as the cameras are presumed to be correct,” Mr Varricchio said.
“I’ve been working hard these past few months to have an app developed that will help provide data that proves the average speed the drivers were doing.” The app: Fine Mate – Speedometer is suitable only for iPhones at present, but will be made suitable for androids soon, he hopes. It works by tapping into the core location service of the phone. “We are aiming for the broader market in
future but, at the moment it just suits users of Peninsula Link.” Mr Varricchio said the main issue when discussing speed cameras on Peninsula Link is that there was not enough consistent evidence and data. “I’m hoping that my app can provide a low cost solution to the public, especially on the Mornington Peninsula, and generate enough data and results that they can be used effectively,” he said.
New family centre opens A NEW Carrum Family and Children’s Centre has been officially opened. Kingston mayor Cr David Eden was joined by Victorian Family and Victorian Children’s Minister Jenny Mikakos to launch the centre. The Carrum Family and Children’s Centre will offer: ·childcare and education ·three-year-old kindergarten ·four-year-old kindergarten ·Kindergarten PLUS – a program incorporating extra learning with additional hours ·maternal and child health services ·family and community services. Cr Eden said the centre will provide much-needed services to Carrum and surrounding areas. “Local families are already signing up with places for 2017 filling fast at the brand new, state-of-the-art Carrum Family and Children’s Centre,” Cr Eden said. “We still have some vacancies available and I encourage parents who live locally or who drive past Carrum on their daily commute to come along and check out these fantastic new facilities.” For more information see kingston. vic.gov.au/carrumfcc or call 1300 653 356.

Five station designs on track FRANKSTON is one step closer to its new look station, with five architects chosen to present their vision for its transformation. Victorian Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke joined the finalists last Tuesday (13 December) at the Frankston Revitalisation Hub to view their designs. The Frankston station design competition received submissions from 39 architects outlining their vision for the new precinct. A jury chaired by Victorian Govern-
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 21 December 2016
ment Architect Jill Garner has selected five architects from this group to now work with experts to produce a more detailed design concept. “We’re rebuilding Frankston station to make it bigger and better than ever before – and we’re doing it with the help of the local community and the best architectural minds from across the country,” Ms Allan said. The finalists include: n Luke Farrugia and Andrew Shaper – both young practitioners on the central coast of New South Wales
Grimshaw – a large international practice with a Melbourne office n Genton – a mid-sized Melbourne practice n Cullinan Ivanov – a mid-sized Sydney practice n Supermanouvre – a young international architecture and innovation practice based in Sydney The winner and preferred design will be announced in March next year, with construction starting in late 2017. The successful architect will be assigned the role of Project Architect n
for the station rebuild. Frankston station will be rebuilt as part of a state government $63 million transformation of the station precinct. Work is already underway to give Young St a facelift with improvement works are expected to be complete by April 2017. The five designs are on display at the Frankston Project Hub on the corner of Young and Balmoral streets, opposite the station, and at transport.vic.gov.au/ frankston-station-precinct-redevelopment online.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Letter of appreciation expresses love for Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough A LOCAL resident received the following letter of appreciation recently: It is now some months since I left Melbourne and came to reside in Frankston, when I was nothing more nor less than a nervous wreck. From the beginning I found the air in Frankston most soothing. As soon as I started to regain strength I started to walk about Frankston and district. I must say that although the beach is one of the cleanest, and prettiest along the coast, yet it is not the only attraction in Frankston, and one is not compelled to spend all their time there. The walks here are simply lovely, the roads in parts, most picturesque, some being long and winding, with such lovely trees growing all along, the gum trees are not at all scraggy or unkempt looking, but quite a good shape with wide branches, and look beautiful after the rain with the sun shining on them. The leaves are all so bright and glossy, and such lovely tints of brown and red. I have never seen ti tree growing anywhere, as it does in Frankston. Such high growth, and the blossom is so large. You can imagine how lovely a country walk is here when one is always coming in contact with such beautiful growth. But I really think a law should be enforced to stop people felling trees by the roadside, as they are spoiling the beauty of Frankston. During the early spring, heath could be got in great abundance, both white
and red. It looked lovely growing, as did also the wild flowers, during the last couple of months. There is such a variety here, and the atmosphere being so pure, they keep so bright and clean. But on all walks, one always seems to yearn to return to the beach and pier to see the sunset. I have never seen such glorious sunsets as I have here during the winter months. If an artist painted a winter sunset here in its true colors the bulk of people would say “how very unreal it seems.” I have sat evening after evening watching, just to see the sun drop below the horizon amidst the glorious colors, but I can say with Wordsworth “And I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts, a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is in the lights of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man.” From the top of the cliffs numerous views can be attained all along the bay to Beaumaris, and they are hard to beat for quiet beauty. We have a grand range of bird life here – beautiful blackbirds, thrushes, robins, wrens, swallows, etc,– in fact nearly every bird which is found at such places as Healesville, abounds here. Two lovely little swallows have built on my verandah, and they are so tame, seem afraid of nothing. They have now three young ones and are kept very busy indeed. When first I came here I had thoughts of taking down the name
plate on the house and replacing it with one of “Quillisana”, which means, I believe, “here to regain health.” Well, I have really succeeded, and even with the old name on the house, I feel a different being altogether, and owe it all to Frankston. When I am compelled to go to Town, or elsewhere for any length of time, I am always longing to get back to this lovely atmosphere, in fact, I like Frankston so much, that now I never want to leave it. *** ACCORDING to our usual custom there will be no issue of the “Standard” next week, owing to the Xmas holidays. With this week’s issue we present our readers with a useful sheet almanac for 1917, and at the same time wish them “A Merry Xmas” and “A Happy New Year.” *** THE date of the Tyabb picnic has been altered from Wednesday to Saturday December 30th. *** ON and after the 1st January, there will be no mail bag made up at the Frankston Post Office for Mornington, the mail in future being sent to Melbourne. *** ON Boxing Day a grand social will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall Somerville, in aid of the funds of the Institute. *** THE cake, made by Mr Marks and given by Mr G. Hesselman to the Frankston District Roll of Honor
Did you know... you can view our papers online
Fund was raffled on Saturday. The winning ticket No 83 was purchased Mr Brasch at the Langwarrin Camp. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son will offer for sale on the premises the well-known Woyna Estate, Rosebud, at half past two, on December 26th. It will be put up in two lots. Ample means of attending the sale is advertised in our columns, also the description of the property. *** THE social held on Wednesday evening last, in aid of the Peninsula Queens’ Carnival, was an enjoyable one, and though the attendance was not as large as expected, those who attended enjoyed themselves thoroughly. *** ON and from the 13th December, the following train time table will be observed at Frankston: Depart 9.23am in lieu of 9.28am, Seaford 9.30; Carrum 9.37; Chelsea, 9 43; Aspendale, 9.48; arriving Melbourne 10.50. The train departing from Frankston for Melbourne at 8.08pm, will leave at 8.06pm instead. *** OWING to the fact that sufficient funds were in the Secretary’s hands for the sixth presentation to Frankston Volunteers, it was not necessary to solicit donations on this occasion. We are however requested, by the secretary, to state that Sir John Madden, on his arrival at the hall, handed him a cheque for two guineas as a further donation to the presentation fund. ***
THE following is a cash statement of the plain and fancy dress ball held by the “Wattles” Club, in aid of Y.M.C.A. Funds, on November 22nd 1916: Receipts – Cash at door £7 14s 9d; donation from Mrs Reynolds £1: tickets £3 0s 11d: donation from “Wattles” Club, £2 18s 6d. Total £14 14s, Expenditure – Music £2 10s, hall rent £1, printing 14s 6d, Mrs Moore 3s, butter 2s 10d, candles 8d meat 7s 6d. – £4 18s 6d. Handed to Y.M.C.A. – £9 15s 6d. *** A GENERAL meeting of shareholders of the Tyabb and District Co-operative Cool Stores was held in the Tyabb Hall on Friday Dec. 15, when there was a moderate number of shareholders present. The chairman (Mr Mair) gave a report of the position and general working of the store during the last season’s running period, and the secretary reported a satisfactory financial position, there being a credit balance of £100 3s 1d. With the commencement of the new financial year, the reduced storage rate to shareholders will begin to operate, i.e. 1s 6d per case space for the whole of the current season’s fruit period. Because of the partial failure of the apple crop, the immediate prospect is not encouraging. The store, however, will re open when about 500 cases of fruit are offering for storage. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 December, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The surprise power ballad bounty of 2016 By Stuart McCullough IT was hiding. For weeks I’d been driving around, blissfully unaware of its existence. How was I to know that, mere inches away, lurked a creature as rare as a gold-plated unicorn? Had fate not intervened, I would be unaware of its existence still. But whether it was dumb luck or divine intervention, it emerged uninvited from the speakers without warning. It’s a miracle that I didn’t send the car into the nearest ditch, such was the gargantuan nature of the surprise. For suddenly and without a moment’s notice I was confronted with the unmistakable sounds of a great, big dirty power ballad. It’s the nature of second hand cars, I suppose. It’s easy to forget that they’ve led a life before they came into yours. I’d bought the car a few months ago and I can honestly say that the previous owners never enter my mind. That’s probably because I’m too busy trying to remember which side the indicators are on or how to open to boot. But, as clean as the car was when I received it, I still find occasional traces of that former life. I was trying to insert a CD when I discovered it. For those too young to remember, a ‘CD’ is a compact disc. With its superior sound quality, the CD killed off the cassette and gave vinyl records a serious beating. However, despite the fact that they offer a superior quality audio, the CD was no match for the overly compressed but seriously convenient download. As a result, every shed in the country now has boxes of CDs waiting for the day the owner is finally able to cut the emotional chord

that inevitably develops between people and the products they love. Say what you will, but the idea of throwing out Hootie and the Blowfish’s Greatest Hits is still too radical a step for some.

21 December 2016
But I digress. Despite my determination and a good half a can of WD 40, I could not get the CD into the CD player. Just as I reached for my hacksaw and blow-
torch, a thought occurred to me: what if I couldn’t insert my CD because the player was already occupied? I pushed the eject button and the player gently spat out a compact disc. Its face was blank, meaning that this was not something that had been purchased at a store but curated and lovingly burned (if, indeed, it’s possible to ‘lovingly burn’ anything) at home. Curious, I immediately pushed the disc back into the stereo’s mouth. Starting gently, a synthesizer provided a layer of atmosphere descending like an evening mist. High hats and the centering thump of the kick drum give it shape. Wind chimes. Suddenly, the atmosphere had a hint of magic about it. And then came the vocal. There are some who contend that you can overdo things on the emotion front when singing. Get too carried away and you sound like an unholy combination of Laurence Olivier in Richard III and Jim Bakker post motel-room visit, begging for forgiveness. As custom dictates, the vocal began quietly, shaking like a leaf in the wind. You could tell the singer was so overwhelmed by either love or intestinal issues that he was in great pain. The bass lolled around sympathetically, massaging the eardrums as momentum began to build. The guitars began to chime. You could almost feel the wind machines start to crank up, causing the singer’s (no doubt) ample locks to sway in the breeze. Then it came – a chorus, ten feet tall. The lyrics, such as they were, revealed a world of pain, the result of being separated from the singer’s true love. He wailed like a man who’d just accidentally entrapped
his genitals in the InSinkErator. One minute in and it’s patently obvious that the singer is not seeking to seduce his beloved but to kick up such an almighty stink that he can no longer be ignored. When we hit the second verse, the intensity dropped. It’s as though the band has called a quick ‘time out’ to recuperate. But the respite was temporary as the second chorus was as belligerent as the first. Then it’s over. The soothing sounds of the synthesizer returned along with the wind chimes as our hero wandered off into the distance, presumably for a glass of water and a Strepsil. I had barely recovered when the whole thing started over. It was then that I realized that this CD only had one song on it. Meaning that the previous owner had been commuting to the sounds of a single power ballad, possibly for years. Somewhat startled, my fingers fumbled for the ‘eject’ button as I pulled over. Shaking with beads of sweat dripping my forehead, I had been beaten into submission by the unknown mystery power ballad that lives in my car. It’s been an interesting year. Not only did I experience an unexpected bruising from a power ballad, but I also managed to find a fruit bagel that looks like an emoji. My only regret is that I ate it instead of putting in on display and charging people what I consider to be one of nature’s miracles with their own eyes. Thank goodness for surprises. There’s something great about them. I may not like my surprise power ballad, but it still made my day. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Climing high: Mt Eliza knocked off Peninsula Old Boys to sit on the top of the Provincial ladder. Picture: Rab Siddhi
Mounties settle on top of ladder PROVINCIAL
By IT Gully MT ELIZA headed into the MPCA Christmas break clear on top of the Provincial table after knocking over reigning premier Peninsula Old Boys on Saturday. On the final day of cricket in 2016, the Mounties ripped through the usual unstoppable POB top order to have them on the back foot from the outset. Defending 263, the home side got rid of Dylan O’Malley (0), Wade Pelzer (6) and Matt Hyden (7) early to have the visitors on the back foot. Justin Savio picked up the prized scalps of Pelzer and Hyden while Shaun Knott grabbed the wicket of O’Malley. One thing we know about the Old
Boys is the depth of talent in the lineup. Eivion Bowen (42), Will Crowder (33) and Glenn Prendergast (55) gave the champs a sniff before Lyle House got into the game. House bowled 28 overs and finished with 3/90. Justin Grant and Damien Kent also took wickets at key times. Adrian Jones offered some resistance with 39 at the end of the innings, however, it wasn’t enough to get the win. Peninsula Old Boys were bowled out for 207, leaving them with 54 points and in fourth place at the break. Langwarrin is in third place on the ladder (66 points) after recording a comfortable 100-plus run win against Pines. The Kangas resumed the second day at 4/73, chasing Pines 109.
While losing wickets early to be 6/99, Taylor Smith was more than solid with 45, Mal Coutts added 17 and Sam Prosser rose to the occasion with 28 to help get the Kangas to 223. Pat Jackson was the pick of the Pines bowlers with 4/51 and Nick Wilcox claimed 3/38 from 20 overs. Baxter is in second place on the ladder, also on 66 points, after smashing Crib Point. After scoring 7/363 last week, Baxter made light work of getting through Crib Point’s batting line up, dismissing them for 168. The Magpies lost their first six wickets for 28 runs. Pies President Ricky Thompson yet again came to the rescue for his team and offered some resistance with 74, including 10 fours and a six, while
Warren Herrington played a supporting role with 25. Ben Brittain was the best of the Baxter bowlers with 4/28 from 19 overs, Dale Irving snared 3/35 from 14.3 overs and Chamara Sattambi picked up 3/51. Mornington is eight points outside of the top bracket after getting the job done against Pearcedale. Resuming at 1/23 chasing Pearcedale’s 132, Mornington made tough work of the chase but the result was never in doubt. Charlie Parker top scored for the Dogs with 41, Matt Foon hit 36, Adrian Dale 34 and Leigh lambert 28, helping the winners to 9/236. The Panthers used seven bowlers, the most effective being skipper Kaine Smith, who bowled 30 overs for a re-
turn of 16 maidens and 2/43. Sorrento is back in the finals hunt after picking up an outright victory against Moorooduc. After bowling the Ducs out for 85 on the first day, the Sharks resumed at 3/149. They declared at 8/186. Despite 80 from Shamith Kannangara and 43 from Ben Williams in the second innings, Moorooduc was still rolled for 184, leaving Sorrento 84 to get to claim victory. CJ King was superb with 6/68 from 14.1 overs, giving him 10 wickets for the match after snatching 4/39 in the first innings. The Sharks got there three wickets down, Jedd Falck hitting 33 and Corey Harris 29.
Braves make a late charge against Demons DISTRICT
By IT Gully RYE lost its fourth match in outright fashion in MPCA District cricket on Saturday, this time against Baden Powell. The Braves raced up the ladder to fifth place and is now just four points behind third placed Delacombe Park and fourth placed Flinders. The Demons have had a horror season. They lost three matches outright from rounds two to four before losing yet again in outright fashion on Saturday. In round five Rye avoided outright loss by just two wickets and find themselves on the bottom of the ladder and odds-on to be relegated
PAGE 14
next season. Baden Powell started the day just 50 runs behind Rye’s first innings total of 111, still having 10 wickets in hand. Looking to pick up the additional eight points, the Braves lost two wickets on their way to 113 before sending Rye back in. Rye was dismissed for 97 in its second innings, lasting just 40.5 overs, before the Braves picked up the winning runs in just 19 overs. Michael Ballard was the pick of the bowlers for Baden Powell in the second innings, claiming 5/18 from 10.5 overs. Red Hill is six points clear at the top of the District ladder after smashing Flinders.
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News
21 December 2016
The Sharks were up against it after the first day, scoring just 127 while Red Hill resumed at 1/59. The Hillmen went on to score 302 for the loss of just seven wickets. Andrew Mock dominated with 144, including 16 fours and six sixes, while Glenn Collett had a day out too, finishing unbeaten on 70 after blasting three sixes and eight fours. Flinders was sent back into bat and finished at 1/59 before the match was declared. Rosebud has slipped to seventh place on the ladder after being beaten by Seaford. Chasing 201 for victory, Rosebud resumed at 1/47. It was bowled out for 172 with Chris Cleef causing all the
damage for Seaford with 6/68 from a massive 40.2 overs. Matthew Bishop scored 128 and Matty Meagher went agonisingly close to a century (99) to help Heatherhill get the 12 points against Boneo. The Hills resumed at 0/9, chasing Boneo’s 203. At one stage the Hills slumped to 4/57, before Bishop and Meagher took control. Brett Maxwell rounded off a great game personally, adding an unbeaten 50 to his bowling figures of 3/55. Cam Williams was the pick of the Boneo bowlers with 3/64 from 18 overs. Mt Martha did what it needed to do to get the desired result against Main
Ridge. The Reds had already won the game after the first week, bowling out Main Ridge for 125 and then finishing the day at 6/146. Mt Martha went on to make 244 after there was plenty of wag in the tail. Main Ridge fared better in the second innings (8/237) with Shaun Foster smacking 142, however, it was all too little, too late. Delacombe Park successfully defended its 8/298, bowling out Seaford Tigers for 169. Dean Bright took 4/54 from 17.4 overs for the Parkers while Rob Fisher and Ricky Ramsdale picked up a couple of wickets each.

Blues OK despite loss SUB-DISTRICT
By IT Gully HASTINGS finished 2016 on top of the MPCA Sub District ladder, despite going down to Frankston YCW on Saturday. Chasing 151 for victory and resuming at 3/18, the Blues had a lot of work to do with the bat on day two of the contest. The Stonecats were up to the challenge though, given their 2016/17 season was dependent on them winning the match. The Blues were rolled for just 103, YCW skipper Andrew Kitson doing the bulk of the damage with 4/31, while Craig Burch snared 3/22 from 14 overs. Sam Fulton also picked up 2/21. Mitch Floyd top scored for the Blues with 30. Ballam Park has really set themselves for a big finish to the year after beating
Tootgarook on Saturday. In beating the Frogs, the Knights are now 18 points clear in second place on the ladder. Chasing 170 for victory on Saturday, Ballam Park lost 2/27 before skipper Stuart Plunkett again saved the day with 80, while Aaron Barrett played a solid supportive role with 24 to help their side to 7/170. Paul Stevenson was the pick of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/48 from 22 overs. Dromana kept its place in the top four after a solid victory against Balnarring. The Hoppers resumed at 2/35, chasing 207 for victory. They got the runs with two wickets still in hand. Jason McKenzie with 37 and an unbeaten 38 from Craig Dunlop saved the match for the Hoppers, who at one stage were 4/49 and then 7/147. Tony Wilson with 3/23 from 17 overs
and Mitch Kleinig with 3/58 from 19 overs were the best of the Balnarring bowlers. Tyabb has finished off the year positively, beating Carrum comfortably. After scoring 4/270 last week against the Lions, the bowlers backed up the strong batting effort, bowling out the home team for 166. Ryan Dyer top scored for the Lions with 44. Adam DiTrocchio starred with the ball for the Yabbies with 5/31 from 13.3 overs, while Nathan Hudgson picked up 2/33 from 15 overs. In the final match, Carrum Downs recorded a comfortable victory against Skye. Skye resumed on 7/40 and were bowled out for 46 in 39 overs. David Dervan snared 6/24 from 19 overs and Chris Maloney picked up 3/31.
MPNFL to play at the ‘G’ By Toe Punt The MCG is the likely venue to host the Victorian Championships main game next season, featuring the ranked two MPNFL, up against the best in the business, the Geelong Football League. AFL South East, along with AFL Victoria, are pushing to have the game played as a curtain raiser to the Round eight clash between Essendon and Geelong. Planning is already well underway for the 2017 campaign with coach John Hynes and his fellow selectors in Gavin Artico, Pat Poore and Paul Hopgood already finalising squads. The squad squad is expected to be finalised this week and players notified before Christmas. Having being smashed by the GFL two seasons again, coach John Hynes said at the time that the preparation of the opposition was the key to the performance. “Geelong is always well prepared, they pick their squads early, their players are dedicated to the cause and their number one ranking is testament to that,” Hynes said previously. “If we are to truly contend, we need to be more organised, more committed and I think our playing squad will absolutely buy into that,” he said. The first training session will be in mid-January.
Frankston Pines welcomes Mauritian expats SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines believes that it has secured its future after finally forming executive and general committees on the weekend. After weeks of uncertainty the Monterey Reserve outfit has accepted the overtures of Mauritian-born barrister and solicitor Daniel Plaiche, a director of Club M Australia, a sports club aiming to promote Mauritian soccer at the highest level here. Plaiche and others from the Mauritian expat community have joined recently relegated Pines and plan to bring Mauritian internationals to Australia with a view to getting the club back into State 1 South-East and eventually promoted to the NPL. Some local clubs see the move as a thinly veiled takeover and last week expressed their concerns to Frankston councillor Colin Hampton, who represents council on a soccer liaison committee alongside representatives from the soccer clubs in the municipality. Plaiche was quick to dismiss such a view. “We need to be inclusive and engage with the local community and we certainly aim to do that,” he said. After Pines failed to elect an executive committee at its poorly attended AGM in late October the rumour mill went into overdrive with suggestions that the club would be forced to close its doors. There was talk of a large debt, a deal with women’s NPL club Southern United, a possible merger with local
High flier: New Frankston Pines vice-president Daniel Plaiche and former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
rival Peninsula Strikers and rumours of negotiations with the Bayside Football Association. The administrative backbones of the club for the past five years have been president Gary Hodgson, his wife Pip (treasurer) and Steve Spencer, former vice-president and club secretary for the past two years. All three were feeling the strain of running the club since the 2011 AGM albeit that under their guidance Pines had re-emerged from a long slump by winning promotion in their first year at the helm, winning the championship in 2014 and whittling down a near crippling $45,000 debt. Talks with Southern United spokesperson Michael Woodward had progressed with the aim of the women’s club basing itself at Monterey Reserve
for the 2017 season. However, Football Federation Victoria scuppered the move ruling that it breached the conditions of Southern’s NPL licence. An 11th hour bid by Strikers’ head coach and former Pines star Craig Lewis to bring the clubs together to form an entity capable of challenging for an NPL berth failed. Lewis was the sole Strikers’ representative to meet with Hodgson and Spencer on Friday night as Strikers’ senior club president Trevor Johnston and junior club president Steve Schreck were unavailable due to business commitments. In the end the Plaiche option was compelling. Hodgson remains as president for a sixth year with Spencer as secretary,
Plaiche is the new vice-president, Phillip Dalais is the new treasurer and Luno Ash is the new junior secretary. The five-member general committee consists of Andre Jumeau, Patrick Sookun, Tommy Mitchell, Lee Davies and Pip Hodgson. “It will be business as usual for Frankston Pines with the exception that for the first time in five years we will have a proper general committee helping us,” said Gary Hodgson. “Any talk of a large debt is rubbish. The books are being sorted now and by the time that’s done we’ll have paid out the $4000 we owe the council and will not owe a single cent to anyone. “We’ll have a new major sponsor coming onboard as well as individual sponsors and we’ll make that announcement next year. “We’ve said all along that we needed people to help us run the club and if can get another community behind us and get players down and get them to attend social functions then all well and good.” The club also has held talks with State Member for Frankston Paul Edbrooke in a bid to arrange a grant to pay for new women’s change rooms, disabled toilet facilities and a new kitchen. Despite the off-field uncertainty senior coach Billy Rae has been unwavering in his support. He was offered a coaching job two months ago at a more settled club but refused to abandon Pines. He has been reappointed for 2017 along with assistant Paul Williams and goalkeeping coach Lee Davies.
Cedric Permal, Christopher L’Enclume, teenager Heip Tran and an unnamed English recruit have been training with Pines and have been very impressive. “The intensity at training in one of the exercises we did the other week was unbelievable and it’s easily the best it’s been since I’ve been here,” said Rae. Permal can play in defence or midfield and L’Enclume can play in midfield or up front and although they have flown back to Mauritius the club is hopeful of their return early next year. Tran has played with Keysborough while the English midfielder “has been training the house down” according to Rae. CJ Hodgson has signed with Casey Comets while Kane Bentley is trialling in England. The last training session for the year is Tuesday this week and training recommences on Thursday 12 January. In other local news Peninsula Strikers’ $1.08 million clubroom refurbishment at Centenary Park should be completed this week. Four new change rooms have been added along with a social club makeover, 20 solar panels have been installed and the grounds reseeded. An official opening of the clubrooms will be held in February. Senior men’s training starts on Sunday 8 January and women’s preseason gets underway on Thursday 17 January. For more information visit the club website at www.peninsulastrikers.com.

Jerry on the mend after nasty mountain-bike riding crash 15-YEAR-OLD Mt Martha resident Jerry was mountain-bike riding in Red Hill when he had a bad crash on his bike and had to be rushed to Rosebud Hospital. “I was going about 40/50km an hour downhill around a turn when I hit a tree jump. I went over the handlebars and started tumbling about 50 metres down the track,” said Jerry. Meanwhile Jerry’s Mum Tonia was waiting in the carpark, anxious about what was taking Jerry so long to finish the mountain bike trail. “He rode up to me but was huddled over. When I saw him I asked if he’d had a fall because he was all muddy. He said he’d done damage and then I knew straight away we had to go to Emergency. Luckily we were just down the road from Rosebud Hospital,” said Tonia. Once Jerry was on his way to hospital, the pain of his bike crash set in. “The adrenaline stopped and I was just like arghhh,” said Jerry. The staff at Rosebud Hospital could see Jerry was in a lot of pain and worked quickly to assess whether he had done any spinal damage. “They saw him straight away. It was just a well-oiled machine,” said Tonia. “The doctors and nurses looked after Jerry, the admin personal organised the paperwork, radiology took him to x-ray, and the volunteers offered a cup of tea and a friendly chat.” Luckily for Jerry, his spine was fine – however he had broken his collarbone.
He was sent home with some pain relief and a sling to stabilise his collarbone. Rosebud Hospital is the heart of the Southern Peninsula community, treating more than 22,000 patients per year. Our Emergency Department is the first stop – and a shining light – for critically ill and injured patients on the Southern Peninsula. The inaugural Rosebud Hospital Summer Appeal on 27 January is raising money for the hospital so that it is well-equipped to provide people with the best possible care
when they need it – whether it is a sporting accident like Jerry, or a lifethreatening illness or injury that needs to be treated, fast. “It’s local and its open 24 hours and it’s there whenever you need it. You don’t have to wait three days to get an appointment,” said Tonia. “I don’t think you could ask for better care. It was exactly what we needed at the time.” For more information or to donate now head to www. rosebudhospitalsummerappeal.org.au

$16 per set inc. mini main and flyer SMOOTH sailing across Port Phillip Bay from Sorrento to Queenscliff is a great day trip option this summer. And there is something for everyone. It starts on the ferry, it is huge. Not your average ferry. There is a lot to see and do on the 40 minute crossing. There are several outdoor decks to choose from to watch the spectacular coastline slide by. The multi Million dollar mansions along the clifftops are spectacular, many with their own private boatsheds. And there is plenty of time to take it all in as the ship travels parallel to the coast for about 15 minutes. There are binoculars to look a little closer at both the homes and the wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, dolphins are spotted often as they play beside the ferry. When you tire of the fresh sea air you can move to the Lounge Deck which has generous viewing windows, a range of seating options and a small café. Opt for a glass of regional wine or beer, coffee or snack as you sit at the window and just relax. For families, there is a children’s play area and colouring corner, with seating near by so parents
can keep a close eye. The ferries take both foot passengers and vehicles. For those that opt to take their four legged friends, they travel for free and are welcome on the external decks on leash. Fido, even gets a treat at the ticket window and water bowls are onboard. Once in Queenscliff it is a short stroll to the Main Street and the Harbour precinct is next door to the ferry terminal. There is the historic fort to visit, a 360 degree observation tower, galleries and shops. Try lunch at RORO Café on the Beach at the ferry terminal building, it has great views, food and coffee. And the best part is the view across to the heads. Then it is back on the ferry for the return trip. Another lazy, summers day……..doesn’t get much better than this.

SUMMER GUIDE World-class music, intimate performances, unique peninsula places. THIS Christmas spoil your loved ones with tickets to a unique musical experience on the Mornington Peninsula. From 1-14 January local wineries, churches, lush lawns and intimate spaces will host 20 events showcasing talented Australian and international artists under the artistic direction of Julia Fredersdorff. “This year we present a cornucopia of musical offerings, from the (unjustly) little-known Scottish Songs of Beethoven to the renegade stylings of the Australian Guitar Trio, via joyous South African jive, the pinnacle of Romantic piano repertoire, and a swinging homage to the heyday of swing, stride and boogie,” said Ms Fredersdorff. The diverse international program ranges from the historically rich baroque music of 17th century England, France and Italy, fiery gypsy melodies, intimate piano recitals and contemporary jazz, to the intoxicating rhythms of South Africa and the transcendental beauty of a beloved pastoral opera.

The songs of carole king DUE to popular demand, Australian icons Vika Bull and Debra Byrne have announced a string of regional tour dates in celebration of Carole King’s 1971 classic Tapestry. The homage saw several sold out performances at Melbourne Arts Centre in August this year, featuring Vika, Debra and the formidable Brill Band. Received favourably by fans and critics, Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King is a beautiful celebration and interpretation of a seminal album. The Tapestry album is timeless and unsurprisingly, holds a very special place in Vika and Debra’s hearts. “Since I was a 13-yearold girl I have loved the music and lyrics of Carole King,” says Debra. “Her songs have been a life saver, she has spoken to my heart when it has broken and helped me regain my strength through songs such as You’ve Got A Friend. My favourite of all her compositions is Up On The Roof. Tapestry the album continues because of its authenticity, honesty and love. A true singersongwriter Carole King doesn’t write to get on
the radio; she writes because it’s all coming from her heart. That is why I love her.” When Vika was asked to be part of the project with Debra, she was nervous, the two having never worked together before, but it was an opportunity that didn’t take much persuasion. “I was worried if our voices would blend,” says Vika. “Luckily, once we sang together, it was great. Debra is so professional, so experienced and I have learned a lot from her. I love singing these songs with her because is she such a fan of the music, and she is an exceptional singer.” Vika and Debra’s performances pay homage to the timeless voice of Carole King, performing a diverse number of ballads universally recognised and adored. Tickets for the regional run of Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King are on sale now, with a performance at the Frankston Arts Centre on Friday February 24 at 8pm. Phone 9784 1060. www.thefac.com.au
