Dragon tamers KINGSTON Libraries are hosting various events over the summer school holidays. Bodea, 8, from Edithvale and David, 6, from Parkdale visited Chelsea Library earlier this week to take part in a ‘How to train your Dragon’ craft class. The duo made shields to protect themselves from their dragons’ fire breath during training. David also constructed a sword to ward off any misbehaving dragons.

Beach Rd safety ‘on the up’ Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au EARLY morning weekend car parking bans – and a greater emphasis on road safety after an elderly pedestrian was knocked down and killed by a peloton cyclist in Mentone in 2006 – have been credited with reducing accidents and improving road manners along Beach Rd.

Communicating with other cyclists and keeping an eye out for parked cars were other keys to safer Beach Rd cycling, Kingston Police Pro-Active Policing Acting Sergeant David Ingram said. He said ‘doorings’ and smashing into the backs of parked cars accounted for a “good proportion” of cycling accidents – especially when cyclists were riding in groups. This often led to hor-

rific injuries when riders, often doing 30-40km/hr, crashed head-first through car back windows, receiving facial lacerations and neck injuries. It is equally important for car drivers and passengers to check for oncoming cyclists before opening their doors, he said. Sgt Ingram said police were “still monitoring” the so-called ‘Hellriders’ who had been accused of running red

lights, riding more than two-abreast and riding in more than a single lane. However, anecdotally, road rules breaches are far less of a problem now than in previous years. A study by a Monash academic called Geospatial Analysis of Cycling Injury Trends: an Investigation in Melbourne, Australia found that, while “peak injury density” in popular cycling areas in Melbourne increased

three-fold from 2000-2011, a decrease was observed in Beach Rd, possibly due to a “combination of behaviour and road infrastructure change”. Doctorate student Brendan Lawrence discovered while Beach Rd had an above average number of serious cyclist crashes in that period, peaking at 34 in 2009, injury density had dipped or remained static since 2005.

‘Sharks’ in water no cause for alarm Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au TWO shadows in the water near the mouth of the Patterson River thought to be large sharks – prompted Carrum Surf Life Saving Club members to clear the beach on a Saturday over the Christmas break. The dark shapes were spotted by a life saver on a routine jet ski patrol between Mentone and Frankston on Saturday 27 December. On shore, lifesavers on the club’s all-terrain vehicle evacuated the beach as a precaution and life savers in the club’s inflatable searched the water. Although nothing was found, patrol captain Ben Rooks said it would be wrong to downplay the incident. “Because of the source of the warning we took it as written, but it could easily have been a seal or a dolphin. They all like to congregate near river mouths. “Nevertheless, safety is always our priority.” The lifesavers urged beachgoers not to panic, reminding them that there was no confirmed sighting of the sharks. The club received assistance from Bonbeach life savers who used their all-terrain vehicle to clear swimmers from the northern side of the river, while lifesavers from Chelsea Longbeach joined the search in their rescue boat. Mr Rooks praised beachgoers for their cooperation. “Everyone got out of the water quickly and calmly,” he said. Praising the work of the lifesavers,

Wear a lifejacket

he said: “While we train for situations like these, they often sneak up on us. I’m really proud of the way our team responded.” Despite the warnings, Carrum beach “is no more or less dangerous than it was yesterday,” Mr Rooks said. “The lifeguards saw something that looked like two sharks but further searches failed to find anything.” Lifesavers cleared the swimmers between the red and yellow patrol flags first: “Just another reason to swim between the flags,” he said.

Warnings after tragedy averted A SERIES of near-drownings at the mouth of the Patterson River on Saturday evening has prompted Carrum Surf Life Saving Club to warn swimmers of the dangers lurking there. A father and three children aged 2, 4, and 10 were saved by the quick thinking of a fisherman who swam to their rescue as they were being sucked into a deep channel. He and a passer-by pulled the four to safety – even though the fisherman says he can’t swim. His actions were praised by Carrum Surf Life Saving Club, with patrol captain Ben Rooks saying the club will give him swimming lessons. “We have had drownings there in 2005 and 2008 but luckily not this time,” he said. “In every instance it is people going into the water next to the river and being swept out into the strong current.”

On lookout: Carrum Surf Lifesaving Club’s Ben Rooks, left, and Daniel Male keep watch at Carrum beach. Picture: Gary Sissons

In 2003, two off-duty policemen rescued seven swimmers – including three of their own children – from a rip near the mouth of the river. Within minutes, a family of four who had been swimming nearby were also swept into the deep boat channel. The policemen – one a surf life-

saver at Carrum – managed to calm the stricken swimmers and, with help from a passing boat skipper who threw life jackets, managed to get them all to shore. “When the tide changes the current is very strong,” Mr Rooks said. “Swimmers can easily be swept onto the rocks or out into the channel.”

MARITIME Safety Victoria has launched a water safety campaign aimed at boaties. The state’s boating safety watchdog said a statewide lifejacket push will headline the campaign, aimed at changing boating behaviour and curbing the death toll. “Safety on the water is a shared responsibility and it’s up to every boater to ensure their own safety and that of fellow waterway users,” MSV maritime safety deputy director Adrian Mnew said. “Lifejackets have been proven to save lives and can make a big difference when things go wrong. “In every one of the known drowning incidents last year, the outcome could have been different if the person was wearing a lifejacket. “Our message to boaters is wear a lifejacket, or others wear the consequences. If you go boating without a lifejacket, think about the devastating impact your actions could have on family and friends. The message will be seen on billboards at boat ramps across the state, as well as on TV, radio, press and online media throughout the summer. Mr Mnew said the campaign will be reinforced by MSV’s expanded on-water education and compliance presence. “We will be going to boat ramps across the state and actively engaging with boaters to increase their awareness of safety. We will also be conducting patrols of waterways with other agencies such as Water Police and Parks Victoria.” See wearalifejacket.vic.gov.au for full details.

BIRDS living at Carrum Primary School have a new home for the new year after Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society volunteers and parents devoted time to building a new birdhouse in the school grounds. Society life member Graham Harbert said volunteers rebuilt and stocked Carrum Primary’s bird aviary which had been used by the school for more than 40 years.

The new birdhouse was completed over the weekend. “We’re also planning to go to the school and give some talks about looking after birds,” Mr Harbert said. Princess parrots, scarlet crested parrots, Australian grass finches and a long-term Indian ring-necked parakeet resident will be just some of the birds to be housed in the new birdhouse. The Mornington Peninsula Avicul-

tural Society was established in 1983 to offer a means of bringing together like minded people who enjoy the hobby of aviculture. The society has undertaken similar projects at Red Hill Consolidated School and Red Hill’s Focus Assisted Living care home.

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au NEW Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson has moved into the offices vacated by former Carrum Liberal MP Donna Bauer at 374 Nepean Highway after winning the seat of Mordialloc for Labor at November’s state election. The 26-year-old former staffer for Isaacs federal Labor MP Mark Dreyfus defeated former Liberal MP Lorraine Wreford by a 4.2 per cent margin as Labor won government from the Coalition. Mr Richardson said he is keen to “hear what’s on everyone’s agenda” in the months ahead. He will visit community groups, schools and businesses as Mordialloc’s member of parliament and said his “door is open” to all constituents. Feedback from the community has been positive, according to Mr Richardson. “People are saying ‘we like your ideas and we want to give you a go’,” he said. Mr Richardson said restoring funding to the TAFE system and easing congestion on public transport are top priorities for the incoming Labor state government. He used his maiden speech in Parliament late last year to “thank the electors of Mordialloc for entrusting me to be their representative. I am determined to be a strong local advocate for my community.” The new MP’s focus on education is based on his own experience.

New kid on the block: Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson won the seat for Labor at November’s state election and is looking forward to the Andrews government honouring its pre-election promises. Picture: Gary Sissons

He told parliament he is “the first in my family to attend university, where I studied law and commerce.” “I believe every person has the right to a quality education regardless of their individual circumstances. Education is not only the pillar of equality and fairness, but an economic prosperity issue. “Now is an important time to be investing in the skills and training

of our people… I am thrilled with Labor’s policies on TAFE, with the $320 million TAFE rescue fund and the restoration of community service obligations.” Improving public transport, especially along the Frankston train line, has been a bugbear that has plagued previous Labor and Liberal National Coalition governments. Mr Richardson said it would

take time to fix Melbourne’s public transport system to improve travel times for commuters. “We need to look longer term and it shouldn’t be so partisan.” After an electorate boundaries redistribution, the Mordialloc district now includes Chelsea, Chelsea Heights, Edithvale, Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Bangholme, Mordialloc, Parkdale and parts of Mentone and Cheltenham.

Momentum for Edgy preservation Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE iconic Mentone Hotel has been sold to a property development company but the buyer has indicated the heritage building may be preserved. Mt Waverley based Momentum Developments bought The Edgy for an undisclosed sum, believed to be more than $9 million, after an expressions of interest campaign by CBRE Hotels. Save The Edgy spokesman Chris Hill took to Facebook last week to advise the developer had been in touch with the residents’ group lobbying state government to save the venue after its sudden closure late last year (‘Mentone Hotel closes, future unclear’, The News 19/11/14). Mr Hill posted Momentum Developments had advised the Save The Edgy group that the firm would make “all reasonable endeavours to have a retail business including a food and beverage service at the Mentone Hotel”. Momentum Developments founder Paul Huggins said his intention is to “preserve and restore the hotel’s facade”. He said some of the internal elements including the staircase would also be retained. However, he said expert advice had revealed “about 55 per cent of the interior” is not original. Mr Huggins said Momentum Developments will seek a retail tenant to possibly operate “a scaled down place to eat and drink” on the lower floor of the venue. “I’m not going to be running a

Police patrol Cars stolen, recovered THIEVES made off with three vehicles valued at more than $150,000 from a Cheltenham car yard early last week. Their haul included two Nissan Navaras and a Nissan Patrol. Police believe the thieves disabled an electronic gate before cutting through a chain to gain entry to the yard in Mills St. The vehicles were recovered in Delahey, north-west of Melbourne, on the weekend. A man from Delahey and another from St Albans have been charged with receiving stolen goods. When the men were apprehended three other stolen vehicles were allegedly also recovered.

pub,” he told The News. The Save The Edgy group’s preference is that the “new business is as close to the existing hotel model as possible, but it will ultimately come down to the operators that put their hands up”. Mr Huggins said he will meet the group’s committee this month to dis-

cuss the plans for the Mentone Hotel which will include apartments. To preserve the hotel’s historic feel, Mr Huggins said the developer is keen to repaint the venue’s exterior its original “battleship grey” to match its colour when it first opened in 1889.

THREE Chelsea shops were robbed last week – two on the same night within hours of each other. In the first incident on Thursday, a Nepean Hwy kebab shop had its front window smashed and the cash register tray, containing a small amount of cash, along with a quantity of energy drinks, was stolen. In the second robbery, a Nepean Hwy ice cream parlour three doors down had its front door smashed. A witness told police he heard banging on the shop window. An offender described as thick set and wearing shorts allegedly stole the cash register containing cash. Last weekend, a nearby coin laundry was robbed of cash and a loaded change machine. Kingston police say thieves smashed a lock on a store room door and removed the machine from the wall. It weighs 30-35kg and is 600mm high, 400mm wide and 350mm deep.

CCTV footage is being examined to identify the thieves.

Indecent exposure A YOUNG woman sunbathing at Mentone beach on Tuesday last week got a nasty surprise when a man allegedly exposed himself and performed an indecent act. The incident occurred opposite St Bede’s College near the stairs. He continued for three minutes before pulling up his pants and running off. He is described as 40 years old, wearing a bright orange, collared, short sleeved shirt, and having brown, collar length hair with visible grey.

Cannabis haul A CANNABIS hydroponic set up and 179 cannabis plants were seized from a rented premises in Waterways last week. A real estate agent discovered the plants during a property inspection. The tenant was not present. He had earlier provided fraudulent identification. Police said about $50,000 damage had been caused to the house through water damage and holes cut in the walls to cultivate the plants. Police are aware that pushers sometimes pay unsuspecting foreigners to act as bogus tenants to ‘babysit’ cannabis plants at rental properties.

Traffic stop Did you know? IT is illegal to drink alcohol while driving, or as the accompanying driver to a learner. The Road Safety Act 49B and 49C provide for a $295 on-the-spot fine, or up to $1400 at court.

Beach Rd safety is up Continued from Page 1 Mr Lawrence cited the welcome decrease as being “against expectation” on a road which teems with recreational – but often very competitive - cyclists every day and especially on weekends. Peak cycling body Bicycle Network said it had “fought long and hard for the introduction of No Stopping Zones on weekend mornings along Beach Rd”. “The report shows the dramatic improvement the bans have had on the bike riding environment around the bay,” government and external relations general manager Chris Carpenter said. “The big drop in injuries shows that these changes were worth fighting for.” He said an ongoing investment in bike infrastructure - such as the proposed changes to the Black Rock roundabout - would make things even safer. “The crash statistics show that, on roads where there are lots of cyclists, safety improves - not just for bike riders, but for all road users. “All the bikes on the road in Victoria these days mean it has never been safer to ride a bike. “Although the increase in serious injuries in central Melbourne is a concern, as infrastructure improves we will see the crash rate come down.” A Cycling Victoria mentoring program, to be launched this month, aims to encourage safer cycling among the road’s legion of bunch riders. This will include teaching standard behaviour that includes giving consistent hand signals and voice commands to communicate hazards.

Compromise on cabin park lease Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au RESIDENTS at Seaford Beach Cabin Park may be able to stay at the emergency accommodation after Frankston Council agreed to offer owner Michael Hibbert a new 10-year lease. Negotiations between Mr Hibbert and Frankston Council had appeared to stall late last year (‘No end in sight for cabin park site deal’, The News 24/12/14) 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 Committee 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 comply with planning, health and building regulations. Another condition of the 10year 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 marginalised 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 “nutted out”. He told The News council is demanding 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 viable with a 10-year lease. He said council had subsequently suggested “2 or 3 cabins” be replaced each year. “I’m trying to keep the costs to residents 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 increase rents by any more than the CPI [consumer price index] rate.” Cr Mayer said “we are proposing terms and conditions in the lease to ensure 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”.

■ REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital Specialists in Movement Disorders Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Program Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition affecting people from all walks of life. There are approximately 80,000 Australians living with Parkinson’s. Our Program: Our comprehensive program is designed for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s, their carers and families. A broad range of services, tailored to individual needs, are provided. These services include: • Inpatient and Outpatient rehabilitation • Education sessions • Follow-up with other relevant service providers • Home visits Our team: Individuals are cared for by a highly skilled and dedicated team who may include: • Rehabilitation Specialist • Movement Disorders Nurse

• Physiotherapist • Speech Pathologist (LSVT LOUD®trained) • Occupational Therapist (LSVT BIG®trained) • Nursing Staff • Dietician • Social Worker • Clinical Psychologist Continuous Care: The length of the program depends on individual needs. We work with individuals, through ongoing reviews, in the management and treatment of symptoms, maintaining communications with each individuals referring doctor. The program is covered by most private health funds; however self-funding options are also available. The education component is a series of weekly presentations by specialist team members on topics including falls risk and management, medications, mobility, community supports, relaxation and fatigue

management, cognitive and behavioral needs, latest treatments and nutrition. The Lee Silverman Voice Therapy LSVT LOUD®: Between 70% - 90% of individuals with Parkinson’s disease will develop voice and speech disorders during the course of their illness. Of these individuals, only a small percentage access Speech Pathology intervention. Miller et al 2006 found that “.people with PD live for years frustrated by communication impairment, withdrawal, social isolation and embarrassment.” The Lee Silverman Voice Therapy LSVT LOUD® has changed the success of voice therapy and the lives of PD patients. With more than 20 years research behind it, it is the rst speech treatment with scientic evidence and established efcacy for the treatment of voice and speech disorders for individuals with PD. At St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital 2 of our Speech Pathologists are qualied and experienced LSVT LOUD® practitioners and we are thrilled to be able to offer the LSVT LOUD® program to individuals with Parkinson’s disease. MOVING BIG FOR PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE The Lee Silverman LSVT BIG®program: Research suggests that you should NOT wait until you begin to

experience disability, impaired function or loss of balance to start an exercise program. LSVT BIG® is an intensive amplitude based exercise program for the body. Research on LSVT BIG® has documented improved ratings on tests of motor functioning in people with Parkinson’s disease following treatment. Improvements include: • Faster walking with bigger steps • Improved balance • Increased trunk exibility LSVT BIG® trains people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions to avoid inactivity and keep moving. It helps people to fully participate in everyday activities and improve their quality of life. The program consists of 1 hour a day with a trained therapist, 4 days a week, for 4 weeks. To complement our already established LSVT LOUD® program, we now offer the specialty program LSVT BIG®. Our Occupational Therapist, Amie Malcolm, successfully became a certied practitioner in 2014 and is excited to commence offering this program to patients in 2015 along with four other staff members who will be qualied, in early 2015. Testimonial:Patient (Ian) is looking forward to doing LSVT BIG® Mobility problems are common for people with Parkinson’s disease. Ian, an active and dynamic 69 year old gentleman was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He has a

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

KINGSWOOD roll into town

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 chatted 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 first 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 first 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 outfits 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 confidence to explore those avenues in Microscopic Wars. “Powell made us feel like there were absolutely no boundaries. He made us feel really confident 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 fly 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 first 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 first 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 6 February. Tickets and more info at www.ticketmaster.com.au MATILDA HEGGIE

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Boating accident with capsized vessel Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE annual general meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute will be held on Thursday, January 28th. *** OWNERS of horses suitable for artillery or remount purposes, who wish to dispose of them are notified that Messrs A. Scott and Co will hold an inspection at Tanti yards, on Monday next, at 12 o’clock. *** MR P. Wheeler notifies by advertisement the hours in which the Frankston Pharmacy will be open for business, he also notifies 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 impressive preacher. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a clearing sate of farm implements and sundries on Wednesday next 20th January at Anesfield Park, Mornington road on account of Major Campbell. The sale will commence at 2.30 o’clock. The same firm will also hold a sale of horses and ponies on the following day at Tanti yards. *** THE Country Roads Board has, during the past week, authorised the ac-

ceptance of the following tender, for work to be carried out under the supervision of the local municipalities: Mornington Shire – forming and metalling 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 Gregory, 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 unfortunate lately, as some two months ago he severely sprained one of his knees, from which he is just recovering. We join with his many friends in wishing him a speedy recovery from his present ailment. *** THE following is the financial statement of the Rosa Alba complimentary concert held last month by the Frankston Choral Society. The receipts 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 Frederick Earp, £1 1s Half share profits Miss Rosa Alba £3 10s 9d; fares and photo Miss Rosa Alba 11s; half share profits 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 Seaford Church. The Hall was packed. It is understood that the profits 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. During 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 fine recitations and Mr Warner jnr., a visitor to Seaford, who gave two comic songs. *** AN accident occurred during the holidays to two young men while out boating, which might easily have resulted in a fatality. It appears that a sudden gust of wind came and took them unawares, and the boat capsized. They both succeeded in keeping themselves afloat by clinging to the over- boat. Accompanied by A Greggs and G. Hesselman, E. K. McComb was returning from fishing 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 meantime his companion in disaster had elected to reach the shore by swimming, a distance of about 200 yards, which he succeeded in doing and after a rest neither of them were the worse for their narrow escape. *** THE Naval Base Sports Club advertise in another column that their an-

nual sports will he held on Saturday, March 6th, when the usual lengthy programme will be gone through. *** THE sitting of the licensing court of the Phillip Island district was concluded 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, Wonthaggi; James W. Webb, Wonthaggi George Howe, South Dudley; Alfred Morey, Kilcunda; and Dennis McNamara, Koo Wee Rup Jas. McGrath, Wonthaggi. *** THERE was considerable dislocation of the railway traffic 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 attached from Stony Point did not pick up trucks with goods en route, and the combined Stony Point and Mornington 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 complain 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 decreasing, 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 instead. It is a great many years since such miserable weather has been experienced 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 beneficial rains experiencd lately have minimised the dauger of bush fires, and in place of the parched conditions 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.

CHELSEA MORDIALLOC MENTONE NEWS

Mounties are gone PROVINCIAL

By 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 finals 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 field. On Saturday, they lost the toss and were forced to bowl first.

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 finished 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 first and made 7/184,

Matt Foon top scoring with 33, Ben Clements getting 32, Sam Buchanan 28 and Luke Harper 28. In reply, the Ducs had a great crack but ran out of balls, finishing on 8/160. Young gun Kristian Miller scored 40 while Brett Maxwell top scored with 53, giving him man of the match honours after picking up 2/39 with the ball. Brodie Symons picked up three wickets for the Dogs in his second game for his new club. Peninsula Old Boys continue to set the pace, easily accounting for Pines. The Piners batted first and made 143 in 38 overs, Brett Remy top scoring with 33 and Jeremy Weare getting 21 at the top of the order. Adam Gailitis picked up 3/24 from 10 overs for the Old Boys, while Jon Forrest snared 3/12 from four overs. In reply, the Old Boys made the runs with eight wickets and 10 overs in hand. Dylan O’Malley hit 55, which included seven fours and two that

cleared the rope, Matt Hyden made 26, Brandon Lawler 32 and Eivion Bowen 27. Rye made light work of Moorooduc, who went into the game without leader Bob Wilson, who was also on Victorian duties. Tom Baron made 62 and Matt Dunn 36 for the Demons in their 8/158. Sushant Gupta was superb with the ball for the Ducs with 5/28 from 10 overs. In reply, only Ben Williams (15) and Jack Kennedy (25) in his first game since crossing from Somerville hit double figures. Leigh Lambert, Aaron Fiddes and Cam Dunn all picked up three wickets each for the Demons. The much anticipated game between Baxter and Sorrento was a draw without a ball being bowled. The captains called the game off, Baxter Park a sponge with water after the heavy rains on Friday.

District finals race hots up

DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE District finals 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 final 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 first 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 first 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 first and were restricted to 9/119 from 40 overs. Mitchel Darville top scored with 48. Carey Sawosz was the best of the Blues bowlers with 3/15 from 10 overs, while Tim Birch snared 3/38. In reply, Hastings was bowled out for 112. Max McKenzie picked up 3/22 from 10 overs in his first senior game for the Reds, while Curtis Stone was the difference between the sides with 3/10 from 9.2 overs.

PAGE 22
