Reel good time FISH Care volunteer Remy Baya has come down to Patterson River every two weeks for the past five years to teach angling to those who simply could not manage it by themselves. And he loves it.

His charges are young and old, and suffer from a range of physical and mental issues, including cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis and Down syndrome.

He delights in teaching those such as Gregory Tucker how to cast a line, and then wait patiently for a bite and – hopefully – reel in a fish.

“They get a hell of a kick out of it,” he said, “and so do I”.

“Fishing is a great activity for just relaxing – and we do catch some fish.”

Candidates confirmed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

ELEVEN candidates will contest the marginal seat of Mordialloc at this month’s state election in a political battle likely to go right down to the wire.

Liberal MP Lorraine Wreford holds the seat by a slim 1.5 per cent margin and Labor is hopeful its candidate Tim Richardson can win Mordialloc amid

a tight tussle for the marginal bayside ‘sandbelt’ seats of Mordialloc, Carrum, Frankston and Bentleigh.

The outcome in the four seats could decide who forms government after polling day on 29 November.

Four independent candidates including Kingston councillor Rosemary West have entered the Mordialloc race.

The son of boat builder Jack Pompei, the late ‘Mr Mordialloc’, has also

put his hand up as a candidate.

Leon Pompei is running on an “antipolitical corruption” platform.

Young 19-year-old candidate Georgina Oxley will face off against an opponent close to home. Her mother, Victoria Oxley, is also an independent candidate.

The Greens’ Alex Breskin, the Democratic Labor Party’s Damien Brick, Jeevaloshni Govender for Family First and Rod Figueroa for the Rise Up

Australia Party and Tristram Chellew for the Australian Sex Party will also contest Mordialloc.

Five candidates had their nominations accepted by the Victorian Electoral Commission for the Carrum contest.

Incumbent Liberal MP Donna Bauer faces a challenge from Labor candidate Sonya Kilkenny to hold the seat.

Mrs Bauer has an estimated margin of just 0.3 per cent after an electorate boundaries redistribution late last year.

Henry Kelsall of The Greens, Family First’s Richard Vernay and Rise Up Australia Party’s Margaret Quinn are the other candidates.

Public transport and planning issues were cited as major concerns voters are concerned about, according to candidates contacted by The News.  Information about each candidate, their election policies and preferences flow details will be published in The News next Wednesday 26 November.

Mentone Hotel closes, future unclear THE iconic Mentone Hotel closed its doors on Sunday amid uncertainty over its future.

Independent candidate for Sandringham Clarke Martin is spearheading a campaign to try to save the pub and live music venue, known locally as The Edgy, from future development into apartments.

Mr Martin said the venue may reopen but said the new owner had yet to reveal their plans for the site.

“There’s been no formal planning application yet,” he said.

Hundreds of people attended a rally last Wednesday evening outside The Edgy as regular young Edgy Wednesdays punters queued to enter the pub for possibly the final time.

After last week’s frenzy of activity on social media sites, Mr Martin admitted calls to “save the Edgy” had gone “quiet” this week.

However, the independent candidate said he is determined to press the case for the preservation of the Mentone Hotel with whichever political party –

Liberal or Labor - wins government on 29 November.

Both parties claim they recognise the heritage importance of the Mentone Hotel and support moves to have Heritage Victoria consider a heritage listing for the hotel (‘Pub loss makes regulars edgy’, The News 12/11/14).

Mr Clarke wants the state government to introduce “new laws” to protect The Edgy and reckons current planning laws merely protect the venue’s facade from excessive change.

“There needs to be new laws introduced to draw a line in the sand,” he said. “We are losing far too many historical buildings to people who do not even live in the area.”

A petition launched by Mr Martin at www.change.org has already gathered more than 6000 signatures.

“We’re waiting to see what happens since we’re in [government] caretaker mode… but we will be speaking to whoever forms government about protecting The Edgy,” he said.

New mayor hopes for harmony

Raid targets drink drivers

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

REMOVING all drink and drugaffected drivers from our roads is the aim of Operation Raid, launched last week by Kingston police.

It’s the first of four road policing operations leading in the summer holiday period. And its main weapon is a highly visible police presence.

Police have visited all licenced premises in Kingston to get the message out that they are out there and offenders are likely to get caught.

Warning notices have been placed in public toilets, notice boards and bar walls advising of the operation and police hope drivers get the message.

KINGSTON has a new mayor. Cr Geoff Gledhill was elected unanimously by his fellow councillors at a council meeting last Wednesday evening.

Cr Gledhill’s predecessor, Cr Paul Peulich, handed the mayoral robes and chains over to Cr Gledhill after completing his 12-month stint as the municipality’s civic leader.

“I consider it a great privilege to serve as mayor of Kingston and I’m proud to lead such a vibrant community as we work together to help create an even better, stronger City of Kingston,” Cr Gledhill said.

“I’ll be looking to make inroads on major issues including residential aged care and the transition of tip sites in the Green Wedge into public open space.”

Cr Gledhill lives in Kingston with his wife and three children. He is a volunteer lifesaver and operates a retail consultancy service.

He takes over the mayorship at a time when councillors continue divided on planning issues, especially with regards to Kingston’s Green Wedge.

On Wednesday evening, Cr Steve Staikos described council chambers as “a horrible place” in recent months

Privileged: Cr Geoff Gledhill honoured to be Kingston mayor. Picture: Gary Sissons

since due to frequent clashes between councillors.

“Sometimes we feel like gladiators rather than councillors,” Cr Staikos said.

“We’re at each other’s throats a little too often.”

Cr John Ronke said the past two years in council had been “very demanding”.

“It’s no secret that tempers have been frayed and we’ve had more than

our fair share of disagreements,” Cr Ronke said.

He said the mayor always had a difficult task “managing eight other councillors who, by definition, are here because they’re strong willed and believe they represent their communities… not to mention that some people have big egos to keep in check.”

Cr Gledhill was elected to council at the 2010 council election to repre-

sent Central Ward and will be mayor for the first time.

Cr Gledhill was formerly the chairman of Business First, an organisation that has previously raised funds for Liberal Party candidates in the bayside area.

He will chair council meetings as part of his mayoral duties and his vote could prove decisive on contentious issues which divide councillors.

The new mayor said he hoped councillors could work together in the year ahead.

“I want a council where everyone can contribute,” Cr Gledhill said.

“I want to engage ward councillors in ward issues and they will be welcome to come along to attend events in their wards with me.”

Cr Gledhill said working to transfer aged care services from council with a minimum of disruption to care home residents was high on council’s list of priorities for the coming months.

Working with industry “in the northern part of the green wedge” to “rehabilitate” land for open space is also high on the agenda, although he said this would take “years”.

He also hoped council could establish new community feedback forums quickly after the village committees system was disbanded by council earlier this year.

Beach bins NEW beach bins will be installed across Kingston in November and December.

Existing ‘swing-style’ 110 litre rubbish bins will be replaced with new dual 240 litre bin stations with a recycling option for litter.

Birds often gain access to the existing bins and open lids can see rubbish strewn across beaches.

The effectiveness of the new bins will be monitored over the next 12 months by Kingston Council.

Dream goal gone PART-TIME football team Bentleigh Greens’ amazing run in the FFA Cup came to an end last Tuesday evening when professional A-League club Perth Glory defeated the Greens 3-0 in front of a sell-out 3300 crowd at Cheltenham’s Kingston Heath Soccer Complex.

The inaugural cup competition gives lower league teams the chance to qualify to the latter stages of the tournament to take on the ‘big boys’ of the A-League.

Despite the defeat that ended their fairytale cup run, Bentleigh Greens were far from embarrassed last week, giving Perth a competitive match.

Perth Glory will play Adelaide United at Adelaide’s Coopers Stadium in the FFA Cup final on 16 December.

Drownings up, lifesavers hold the line Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au DESPITE “ticking all the boxes” for being in a location where people are most likely to drown – near beaches, rivers, pools and boating areas – Carrum Surf Life Saving Club has, touch wood, been spared the drama this year.

And it has all the more reason to be satisfied because the Patterson River mouth is regarded as one of the busiest recreational boating zones in the southern hemisphere.

With a sandbar across its mouth, it is now especially rough as it enters Port Phillip Bay. “Boats power into the river and then come to an immediate stop,” club secretary Ben Rooks said. “Life jackets are compulsory for all boat users and that’s good because they act a bit like seat belts in cars.”

He was commenting on Life Saving Victoria’s 2013/14 Victorian Drowning Report, which reveals that 47 people drowned in Victoria in the past year. That’s an increase of six over the previous year and the highest drowning toll the 10 years 2003-2013.

The report was launched by Parliamentary Secretary for Police and Emergency Services David Southwick MP and Life Saving Victoria president Tom Mollenkopf last week.

The Melbourne region had 23 drowning deaths - up four on the 10 year average. Of those, one occurred at a City of Bayside beach, which is consistent with the 10 year average.

Mr Rooks said drowning victims were often males affected by alcohol, prompting the Kingston Council

to declare the lifesaving club precinct an alcohol-free zone. It continues to be a key risk factor, with 12 drowning deaths in the year, compared to an average of nine in 2003–2013.

“They think they can perform to the best of their abilities when affected by alcohol, but, of course, they can’t,” he said.

A key finding of the Drowning Report was that unintentional water entry - slips/trips/falls - accounted for more than a third (17, 36 per cent) of fatal drowning incidents. This is similar to the past decade which had 39 per cent unintentional water entry drownings in 2003–2013.

Drowning in inland waterways increased dramatically to 22 this year after decreasing last year. This is up 62 per cent on the 10 year average.

Drownings in the 15-24 year age group rose 52 per cent. The number among those aged over 60 has risen 49 per cent.

Males continue to be over-represented with 79 per cent (37) of all drowning deaths. The drowning rate (per 100,000 people) has increased by 13 per cent over the previous 10 years.

Report author Dr Bernadette Matthews said the high number of drownings of people who didn’t even intend to be in the water is alarming. “More than a third (17, 36 per cent) were the result of slips, trips and falls,” she said.

“This has been a consistent trend over the past decade and highlights the need for us to make a change to become more aware and prepared, with improved swimming skills and water safety knowledge, so that we have a

greater chance of survival if we do get into trouble.”

She said people who have been drinking either make poor decisions about entering water – such as trying to swim across a river, perhaps clothed, or late at night – or have unintentionally entered the water, having slipped or fallen.

“People need to stop thinking ‘It will never happen to me’ and realise that alcohol affects everyone’s abilities in the water, even the strongest of swimmers. Alcohol not only affects our judgement but also our ability to respond in the water should we fall in.”

Drownings among two key age groups (those 15–24 and 60 and over) have risen 50 per cent, Dr Matthews said. “Older people are reminded to check their skills, health and fitness before swimming, boating, fishing and kayaking, and be extra careful of slips and falls around water,” she said.

Beachgoers should be aware of how dangerous beaches are and how quickly conditions can change – even on ‘nice’ beach days.

“All reported coastal drowning deaths occurred at beaches that were not patrolled by lifesavers at the time,” said Dr Matthews.

“People need to be aware of the dangers and be prepared by checking the weather and conditions and reading safety signs to understand the hazards before entering the water.

Mr Rook said Carrum lifesavers began their summer patrols last weekend and would continue throughout summer. “Always swim between the flags,” he said.

Driver punished over camera clash A KEYSBOROUGH truck driver was fined $1200 and had his licence suspended for three months by Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday for obstructing a traffic camera operator.

Acting Sergeant Matt Fitzsimon, of Kingston highway patrol, said the driver backed his Hino truck up to within centimetres of the operator’s car in Centre Dandenong Rd Cheltenham at 1am on 25 September last year.

He then got out and abused the operator – which was captured on a dashboard camera - and then followed him to the nearby Director Factory Outlets car park in what was described as a “menacing manner”. The operator hurriedly drove to Moorabbin police and reported the incident.

Acting Sergeant Fitzsimon said the truck driver had “a history of speeding tickets” and described the situation as “frightening” for the operator, who was in an isolated spot in the early hours.

He said this type of incident was becoming more prevalent.

“They’ve even had people stabbing them with syringes,” he said.

Holidays care ENROLMENTS for Kingston Council’s vacation care programs for primary school aged children in Aspendale, Bonbeach, Dingley and Moorabbin are now open.

Cast a line, build a life

Police patrol Doped and choked

WATCHING the smiles on the faces of his physically and mentally disadvantaged ‘mates’ as they try to catch a fish is all the reward Fish Care volunteer Remy Baya needs.

He has come down to Patterson River every two weeks for the past five years to teach angling to those who simply could not manage it by themselves. And he loves it.

The get togethers are a social support option for Mr Baya, of Sunbury, who delights in helping his charges cast a line, wait patiently for a bite and then – whacko! – reel in a fish. Young or old, they may have cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis or Down syndrome.

“They get a hell of a kick out of it,” he said, after returning from ‘The Warmies’ at Newport last Monday. “I’ve been helping at Patterson River for years and, before that, Mornington, Kingston and Sandringham. It certainly keeps me in good health.

“I enjoy taking juniors and seniors out into the fresh air. We have established a good rapport and all get along well.

“Fishing is a great activity for just relaxing – and we do catch some fish.”

Aligned with RecLink, Fish Care is a community-based organisation which aims to educate the community on sustainable fishing.

Coordinator David Cleeland said it catered to 6000 participants each year, including up to 1000 disabled.

“Remy has run a lot of programs and he has lots of regular clients. He also runs our primary schools program; he’s a great character.”

A 34-YEAR-OLD Chelsea Heights man died in extraordinary circumstances on 14 November. Smoking synthetic cannabis with a friend at a Patterson Lakes house at 12.40am he became severely dehydrated and began drinking large quantities of water from an outside tap. Returning inside he went into a bathroom and forced his mouth over another tap and began drinking again. The tap became lodged in his throat. Kingston police said a friend tried to assist by pulling the tap off the sink and the man fell to the floor unconscious. Ambulance officers worked on the man for an hour but were unable to revive him.

Thieves slither off TWO men aged 18 and 19 have been charged with theft from a car after being caught by occupants of a house in Nepean Hwy, Mentone on 16 November. But the theft had a twist in two tails. Leading Senior Constable Kelly Madeley, of Kingston police, said occupants of the house chased the pair to Mentone Athletics Track to retrieve their belongings. They searched a backpack and a jacket for a missing wallet, mobile phone and other possessions – and found two python snakes inside. The snakes were later collected by the Kingston Council ranger.

Mobile theft attempt TWO teenage girls attempted to rob a 17-year-old schoolgirl of her mobile phone in Como Pde West on 14 November. They approached the victim on the bus and asked to look at her mobile phone. After the bus

stopped at Mentone railway station one of the offenders grabbed the girl by the arm while the second pushed her up against a wall and put a hand to her throat while attempting to steal the phone. Passersby intervened and the pair walked off. Kingston CIU is investigating.

Plane trouble THE pilot of a Piper Navaho twin engine plane made a distress call to safety authorities at 8.05am on 17 November when he became concerned his nose wheel was not locking into place. The fire brigade covered the Moorabbin Airport runway with foam while the plane circled for 40 minutes.

It then touched down safely.

Trailer trailed POLICE attempted to intercept a Toyota Hilux towing a tandem trailer in McDonald St, Mordialloc at 5.30pm on 15 November after the driver committed a minor traffic offence. Initially pulling over, the vehicle sped off, mounting roundabouts and speeding along residential streets, with police in pursuit.

Contact was lost but the trailer was found in Hallmark Pde. Later, police spotted the Hilux, first in Warrigal Rd, then Charman Rd and finally Nepean Hwy. They blocked traffic lanes but the vehicle was driven along a side service lane at the corner of Nepean and Highett Rds where it collided with a parked bus and two cars. The male occupants – both from Rockbank and aged 37 and 22 - ran off but were later arrested. They have been charged with conduct endangering life, two counts of car theft, and trailer theft. They will appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on 25 November.

the No bypassing election pledge Bauer Brief Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

A COALITION government election commitment to fund the $200 million Mordialloc Bypass follows a $10.6 million state government grant to prepare a detailed business and statutory approvals case last May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bypass will reduce traffic congestion, make local bus services more reliable and support the creation of around 200 construction jobs,â&#x20AC;? Premier Denis Napthine said last Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 50,000 vehicles a day cross the end of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Springvale Rd, clogging streets and contributing to traffic queues on Wells Rd - which can exceed 280 metres in peak times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investigations show that a Mordialloc Bypass is the best option to reduce congestion on surrounding roads and improve liveability for locals.â&#x20AC;?

The bypass will link the northern end of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway with the new Dingley Bypass.

Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford, speaking at the business case launch last May, said the bypass would provide additional northâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;south road capacity, reduce delays on existing roads and cater to efficient movement of commuter and freight vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that residents and businesses in the Mordialloc area have been waiting for this project for a long time, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will take enormous pressure off Wells Rd and get trucks off local and suburban streets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great outcome for families.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Wreford said around 3500 vehicles turned from the Frankston Freeway onto Springvale Rd in the morning peak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the afternoon, the number of vehicles turning onto the freeway can also result in extensive queues and de-

lays,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bypass will reduce traffic congestion and delays on Springvale Rd, and improve traffic flow along this important bus route.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Improvements to the overall transport networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficiency would reduce traffic on Wells Rd, White St and Nepean Hwy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a major issue in the community,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When you read that in my ďŹ rst term of ofďŹ ce, more than $30 million in funding has been delivered directly to the Carrum electorate, with another $25.8 million in election commitments to come, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty impressive result.

As well as this, people in my electorate have directly, or indirectly, beneďŹ ted from around $721 million in regional projects such as the Frankston Hospital redevelopment, and can look forward to more with re-election pledges including the $310 million Thompsons Rd upgrade.

I have attended hundreds of meetings and dozens of sitting days, worked on various working parties and addressed Parliament 333 times. I have met thousands of constituents, assisted with countless State Government matters, been an advocate for individuals and organisations, given advice and been taught a lot.

I have cheered on my local footy teams, volunteered at local organisations, danced with handsome seniors, and washed many dishes; and am passionate about supporting local business and community groups.

And through my cancer battle this year, I have learned that that we are all stronger than we believe, that there is good in all people and that life is indeed precious.

There are two things that are most important to me - my wonderful family, and my job. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a job I take very seriously. I am proud to be member of Team Napthine; a team focussed on building a better Victoria.

Through strong ďŹ nancial management weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve repaired the budget and put Victoria in the strongest ďŹ nancial position of any state in Australia.

This election is about who has the best plan for the long-term future of Victoria.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about who you trust to secure a better future for you and your family.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the certainty of staying on the right track, building on our strengths and achievements, moving Victoria forward and securing a better future.

It is an honour to represent the Carrum electorate. I have worked and lived in the region all my life, and know what needs to be done.

With your support, we can make it happen.

PARKINSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DISEASE RESEARCH AT ST JOHN OF GOD FRANKSTON REHABILITATION HOSPITAL Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease is the second most common neurological disorder in Australia with 64,000 Australians diagnosed with the disease in 2011.

Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease is a neurological disorder affecting the motor nervous system altering coordination and movement.

People with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease experience progressive declines in mobility that can be attributed to the decrease in speed and size of movements. It is often associated with impaired walking and balance reducing quality of life and as a result many Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease sufferers become relatively immobile and deconditioned.

There is a need to develop enjoyable therapeutic interventions and exercises, where the risk of falling is decreased. Research is required to GHWHUPLQH WKH IHDVLELOLW\ DQG HIĂ&#x20AC;FDF\ of interventions such as hydrotherapy on the Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population.

Professor Meg Morris from Latrobe University commented â&#x20AC;&#x153;This collaborative research project between St John of God Frankston

Rehabilitation Hospital and Latrobe University aims to explore whether K\GURWKHUDS\ LV EHQHĂ&#x20AC;FLDO IRU SHRSOH living with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease. We are measuring people walking over ground with and without visual cues and attention strategies, and then measuring them in the water.

Welcome addition: Phil hooked this nice gummy shark while fishing in for whiting in Port Phillip.

Bumper harvest beckons in both bays THE fishing in both bays continues to impress, and while it might surprise many, snapper aren't the only species being caught.

Whiting are well and truly starting to move now in both Western Port and Port Phillip.

However the really big catches aren't always coming from the shallow banks, with the deeper waters up to 14m seeming to be the go. Some catches of ting have gone close to the magic one kilogram mark.

As much as snapper and whiting have been the target, angler's bycatch has been equally impressive.

For those chasing snapper, the once elusive ling

has made quite a few special guest appearances, while those after whiting and snapper have also been snagging a few nice gummy sharks.

These have made some very welcome additions to the fisherman's basket.

At this time of year, fishing options around the Peninsula are almost endless – it all comes down to "what floats your boat".

For those after snapper, both bays are fishing well. In Western Port, try Lysarghts and Rhyll. In Port Phillip, fish in 18.5m during the day and the shallows during the early morning and evening.

Everywhere from St Kilda to Mt Martha has produced.

For whiting and squid, the reefs and weed beds in both bays have held good numbers of both.

While the traditional depths of 2-6 meters have fished well, in Western Port don't be afraid to fish as deep as 14m. Whether it's from a boat, rocks or the piers, you're a good chance of bagging a brace.

Until next week, tight lines and calm seas.

HOUSE AND LAND

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Innovative new design from Red Bluff Homes THE magnificent Homestead range of new homes pays homage to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colonial past with an impressive facade boosted by wide verandahs and spacious living.

Designed specifically for buyers with acreage or a farmlet on which they want to build their dream home, the house has been designed to make the most of rural views. The living areas, including the rumpus room, family room, meals and kitchen areas are all positioned at the front, with rows of tall windows running the entire length of the home designed to capture the countryside. Buyers have a choice of four different facades at no extra cost. The kitchen and

meals areas have long been the heart of country homes and The Homestead is no exception. The spacious kitchen has a huge walk-in pantry, and is centrally located to the open-plan meals and family areas. The casual family living area has been cleverly zoned away from the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retreat, allowing busy parents a quiet spot to retire to at the end of the day. Complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, the master bedroom is tucked away at the opposite end of the home from bedrooms two and three. The flexibility of the design means the separate formal dining room can be incorporated into the master bedroom creating an even

more generously proportioned parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retreat. The design also offers flexibility when it comes to the configuration of the bathroom, toilet and storage space at the family living end of the home, with buyers offered four options from which to choose. The Homestead, which measures 25.5 metres by 12 metres including verandah, starts at $197,500 on your land. For more details and a list of inclusions contact Red Bluff Homes on 9709 0400.

NEWS DESK

‘Fast track’ for Frankston station upgrade Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE state election battle for Frankston has intensified. Labor opposition leader Daniel Andrews visited Frankston train station last Friday morning to commit $50 million to transform the station precinct into a “state-of-the-art transport hub”.

The opposition leader opted to make the trip to Frankston on his large campaign bus, replete with Labor Party logos and Mr Andrew’s smiling face, instead of by rail.

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke, Carrum candidate Sonya Kilkenny and opposition transport spokeswoman Jill Hennessy joined Mr Andrews to outline the pre-election commitment to be delivered if Labor wins government on 29 November.

Mr Andrews vowed to make the train station and its surrounds “a precinct that Frankston will be proud of”.

Labor’s plans include a new retail strip and a multi-level car park. A “hub for local businesses and entrepreneurs, developed in partnership with Chisholm TAFE” will also be built as part of the $50 million project.

Mr Andrews said the station precinct master plan would be “fast tracked” and an incoming Labor government would establish a Station Precinct Taskforce to begin work on

the transport project “within the first 100 days” of government.

“The Liberals promised to fix the precinct, but all they did was give it a new coat of paint,” Mr Andrews said.

“We’ll bring in new employers, new visitors and new shops.”

Mr Edbrooke said “the heart of Frankston will be a safe, modern and thriving place of business and activity under an Andrews Labor government”.

Labor’s pledge to revamp Frankston station was welcomed by Frankston Council. The council has been pushing for both major political parties to commit to major projects as part of its ‘Speak Up For Frankston’ campaign.

New Frankston mayor, Cr Sandra Mayer, said the $50 million announcement is “the best news so far” in the lead up to this month’s state election.

The Frankston Community Coalition, a citizen lobby group formed to pressure politicians to give Frankston “a better deal” in the lead up to the state election, described Labor’s $50 million commitment as “a game-changer for Frankston”.

“The Frankston Community Coalition is thrilled with Labor’s announcements. It is the strongest commitment by any political party in 40 years to create a safe, modern and attractive public transport precinct in Frankston,” group spokeswoman Christine Richards said.

The Frankston Community Coalition has been highlighting the fact that former Liberal transport minister Ray Meagher promised a new Frankston transport hub in 1975 which was never built.

“If Labor is elected, the money that Paul Edbrooke and his party have pledged will go a long way to helping to solve some major problems holding back the progress of Frankston. It demonstrates a clear commitment by Labor to the future of Frankston and its people,” Ms Richards, a former Frankston mayor, said.

Ms Richards said the establishment of a taskforce within 100 days of the state election is pivotal.

“This is a particularly important part of Labor’s commitment, given how many times promises to create a more functional train station precinct have gone off the rails,” she said.

The taskforce will include Frankston council representatives, Victoria Police, Public Transport Victoria, Frankston traders and businesses and Chisholm TAFE and will consult with the community about the station revamp.

Labor said “a permanent police beat within the precinct” will also be introduced “to clamp down on drug activity and crime”.

Mr Andrews said there would also be a commitment to “clean up” Young St. New footpaths, seating and lighting and bus shelters will be installed.

Picture: Anthony Leong

Hours after Labor’s $50 million announcement on Friday, Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead visited the train station with Transport Minister Terry Mulder to make a low-key and seemingly rushed pledge that a re-elected Coalition government would invest $33 million to upgrade the area.

Incumbent independent MP Geoff Shaw, elected as a Liberal candidate in 2010, welcomed both parties’

pledge to invest in Frankston’s future.

However, a spokesman for Mr Shaw said the “fantastic” promises were also “reactionary” and Mr Shaw believed voters would realise the Liberal and Labor parties are “throwing out cash” just weeks out from the election.

He said Mr Shaw would work to ensure whichever party wins government “delivers on its promises” if he is re-elected as Frankston’s MP.

CEO puts hospital rumours to bed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CONFUSION about the number of extra beds to be installed at Frankston Hospital’s new building has seen hospital management become caught in the political crossfire as the major parties trade blows over health services as the 29 November state election draws closer.

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke claimed there was “no proof” of extra beds being included in the Frankston Hospital expansion when he spoke to ABC host Jon Faine live on air earlier this month (‘Faine visit puts Frankston in the spotlight’, The News 11/11/14).

Mr Edbrooke cited meetings with Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams when making the allegation.

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke

“There’s no proof of any beds going into that [Frankston Hospital] construction,” Mr Edbrooke said.

“The word is, from my meetings with the CEO, that the beds are actually coming from the old hospital.”

Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams

In July last year, when Premier Denis Napthine visited Frankston Hospital to see construction begin on the $80.9 million stage 3 development of the hospital expansion, Peninsula Health stated: “When completed, it

will add 92 new beds and a much needed new Emergency Department to the hospital”.

Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams told The News late last week that “92 new beds will be coming online this financial year” when asked for comment about Mr Edbrooke’s claim about a lack of extra beds.

Ms Williams said there will be two special care nursery cots, two intensive care unit beds and 88 ward beds in the new hospital wing once it is complete.

As part of the move into the new building, older wards will be “restructured” to “better suit patient care types”, according to Ms Williams.

“All wards will remain operational except for one as we have been given the opportunity to refurbish our older wards,” she said.

“The vacant ward will be refurbished first and allow for the other older wards to ‘cycle through’ it so that remaining wards can be refurbished.”

Mr Edbrooke’s claim about a lack of beds in the new hospital extension echoed rumours passed to The News by concerned Frankston residents in the past few weeks.

When contacted, Mr Edbrooke said “a Labor government will appoint an independent expert to find [Premier] Denis Napthine’s missing beds at Frankston Hospital”.

He said Peninsula Health’s performance is “under significant pressure” due to “Liberal cuts”.

Ms Williams said she had spoken to Mr Edbrooke after his comments on ABC radio and had “confirmed with him that all of the beds in the new building will be opened.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Lord Roberts dead at 83, election next week Compiled by Melissa Hodge WE regret to state that Miss Boulter, sister of Rosa Alba, the brilliant soprano, is at present an inmate of Dr Maxwell’s Private Hospital. We trust that she will have a speedy recovery. *** IT is with pleasure we note that Mr Walter Jess, the well known tenor of the Conly Company, is the proud father of a son and heir. *** EVERYBODY is discussing Rosa Alba, take the opportunity of hearing her yourself at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert.

This will indeed be a treat, be sure you don’t miss it. *** MRS Ritnuer wishes it known that she has had her premises in Payne Street thoroughly renovated and has always on hand good stocks of fresh fruit and vegetables. She has also a comfortable room where visitors can enjoy a cup of tea, ice cream, or confectionery. *** MR Broadbent notifies by advertisement that he has commenced business in Skye Road, Frankston, as a plumber and gas fitter, and is prepared to take orders for all kinds of plumbing. *** THE State Elections Polling Day is fixed for next Thursday, when the booths in the various electorates will be open from 8 am till 7 p.m. Mr A. Downward will address the electors of Frankston on Tuesday evening

next, and Cr Murphy will also address them on Wednesday evening. *** THE honorees. (Dr S. Plowman and Mr O. P. Watson) of the presentation to the members of the Second Expeditionary Forces, will be glad to receive any donations from those interested. As an early departure of the troops is apparent, it will be necessary for these donations to be sent in immediately so as to arrange a public presentation. *** MISS Rosa Alba the brilliant new soprano, has a beautiful light voice of bright tone and appealing quality.

Frankston and surrounding district will have the opportunity of hearing this talented artist at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert on December 5th at the Mechanics Hall, Frankston. *** DEEP regret has been caused throughout the Commonwealth by the news that Field–Marshall Lord Roberts VC has died as a result of a chill while on a visit to France.

The great solider was in his 83rd year.

The Federal Government on Sunday received the following cablegram from the high commissioner.

“Lord Kitchner received this (Saturday) evening a telegram from Sir John French.”I regret to inform you that Lord Roberts died this evening.

Lord Roberts was on a trip to France to greet the Indian troops. He contracted a chill on Thursday, and succumbed to an attack of pneumonia.

*** THE children of my district are fine, loyal, generous young Britishers, so says Mr Lewis Thomas BA, Inspector of the Warnambool district. They are doing all in their power to continue to help the noblest of causes. One school of ten pupils sent in £10; another of 40 pupils forwarded £21 to swell the funds of the Education Department Patriotic League. This work is going on all over the State: no wonder the Inspectors are proud of the work of children, parents, and teachers. The Warnambool district has accumulated £230, and the work is still going on. *** THE youngsters of the State are taking the war very seriously. At the Queenscliff State School six pupils won prizes at the local Flower Show.

The first intimation that Mr Hughes, their head teacher, had of their praiseworthy intention, was their handing in the whole of their prize money to their School Self-denial Patriotic Fund. Well done young loyalists. *** WE desire to call the attention of your readers to an advertisement in another column, concerning the Frankston Patriotic and Presentation Fund. It will be seen that a meeting of contributors will be held at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday the 23rd to consider the disposal of the funds now in hand and to make arrangements for the entertainment and presentation to members of the second Expeditionary Force who may have been drawn from Frankston and immediately

surrounding district. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance. *** A TEAM of six tennis players from Frankston visited Dandenong last Saturday week. Dandenong was again victorious, winning by 14 games. A most enjoyable time was spent by all.

A match is to take place today, on the Frankston courts, against Somerville.

The team will consist of the following members:- Mrs Shannon, Mrs H. Robertson, Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Robertson, Utber, Watson, and Rev Kitchen. *** THE Frankston Methodist Christian Endeavour society and choir arranged a very pleasant surprise to Mr and Mrs Charles Ellis, who recently returned to Frankston, after their honeymoon.

The ordinary C. E. meeting was altered to one of a social character and the members, who individually possess good voices made the evening pass too quickly with songs and recitations.

Mr Ellis has been a most active and useful member of both bodies, and Mrs Ellis has already shown her sympathy and willingness to take an active part.

Before the evening was finished the Rev R Jackson presented Mr and Mrs Ellis with a handsome crystal and silver salad bowl, and expressed very best wishes for their future happiness. *** HOW SOLDIER’S WIVES LIVE “Everylady’s Journal,” the magazine

par excellence of Australia and New Zealand, is catering magnificently for its readers in these times of war. The November issue, just in hand, is the third of its Special War Number, and establishes it’s claim to be called the best to date. The special war material in Everylady’s Journal begins with a little cluster of interviews of returned Australian girls and articles from London correspondent which conveys a wonderfully vivid impression of the state of excitement into which England was thrown by the outbreak of war. Then a woman writer with a clear grasp of affairs describes the fighting of the past month, and shows what the Allies have gained.

Another tells of ‘life in Berlin during peace time, and quotes a wonderfully stirring poem called “The Kaiser Comes.”

Of great local interest are the views of a number of notable people on how the wives of soldiers can maintain their husband’s income while they are away at the war. The Lady Mayoress advocates culture, the Chief Secretary suggests fishing, and so on.

Lady Helen Munro-Ferguson, head of the Red Cross Society, explains in an interview, what goods are still required; and W. A. Somerset supplies a descriptive sketch of the Australian troops marching through the streets, illustrated with a couple of remarkable photographs, one of which is perhaps the best marching picture that has appeared.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

My experiences deconstructing degustation

By Stuart McCullough WHEN it comes to the culinary arts, I can put up with just about anything. I can tolerate ‘jus’ even though my heart longs to leap out through my chest and scream ‘pretentious!’. I can even put up with a wanton use of the term ‘reduction’. Heavens above, I can even turn a blind eye to things that have been ‘caramelized’ beyond recognition. When it comes to food, I can endure all sorts of chicanery. Anything, that is, except a dish that has been ‘deconstructed’.

Let’s start with the term itself. Put simply, if something is ‘deconstructed’, it is either yet to be constructed or, worse still, it was previously constructed but some bludger has decided to pull it apart for no reason other than to be a bit of a twerp. The former smacks of laziness. The latter screams of the nastiest kind of sabotage imaginable. Why ruin a perfectly good meal by disassembling and making it appear as though it fell onto the plate from a great height?

Deconstructed food is all about giving you much loved classic meals in a form that makes them totally unrecognizable. It’s the Renee Zellweger principle, except it’s served either with chips or salad. Let me say right here that I’m absolutely against it. I realize that the principle of deconstruction is rooted in reinvention, whereby overly familiar things are re-presented for a modern age. But you can go too far.

It’s like that old saying: don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Granted, it’s an odd turn of phrase.

Truly, who would ever empty a bath

and lose a child? You’d have to either be in an incredible rush or wholly indifferent. In fact, when I think about it, it’s not so much a proverb as it is an act of criminal negligence. At least it doesn’t involve animal cruelty. It’s quite shocking when you think of how many of our key proverbs involve brutality to animals in some form, espe-

cially felines. ‘There’s more than one way to skin a cat’, ‘not enough room to swing a cat’, ‘dead cat bounce’ and ‘busier than a three legged cat in a dry sandbox’ to name but a few. As for not throwing out the baby with the bathwater, despite it’s apparent endorsement of infant cruelty, the proverb is neither about babies nor bathwater. It’s

about remembering what made something special in the first place.

Let me be clear. When I order a meal, I like to be able to recognize it when it turns up. It’s no good if your plate of food has to be explained to you by the waiter. In fact, when I cook something from a recipe, one of my key performance indicators is whether it looks anything like the picture in the book. This is the first sign that I am (hopefully) on the right track. But deconstructed meals take the exact opposite approach. If a deconstructed meal bears any resemblance to the original meal, it is regarded as a colossal failure. It’s the abstract expressionism of cooking. It’s food in disguise.

When I order a lasagne, I don’t want a dish that looks as though it’s entered the culinary equivalent of the witness protection program. I want something I know and love. In short, I want exactly what I asked for.

We’d had a lovely dinner when I decided to order dessert. It’s an unusual step for me. Usually, I go overboard on the bread and the idea of pudding is dismissed as gluttony. But having enjoyed my meal and not wanting the evening to end, I decided I’d ask for the menu. Looking through the list, all the favourites were there – crème brulee, chocolate mousse, tiramisu.

All of them fine in their own way, but not the kind of showstopper I had in mind. I wasn’t just looking for the end of a meal. I was looking for an encore.

A final bow that would have me leaving the restaurant, raving about the whole night. I wanted a curtain call that would knock me clear off my feet.

Then I saw it – Pavlova.

Pavlova is pretty much Australia’s national dessert. Except if you’re from New Zealand. Whilst there’s some room for improvisation, particularly in terms of which fruit you’re going to put on top (strawberries versus kiwi fruit versus mixed berries), all other aspects of the art form are pretty much settled. Or so I’d thought. Meringue, a crispy shell and maybe some cream – these are the heart and soul of any pav worth it’s salt (there’s no actual salt in the recipe, although there is vinegar).

They’re what I expected. And, truth be told, I got them all. Just not in one piece.

It was as though my dessert had been run over by a large vehicle. The meringue sat in the corner as if it’d been given detention. The fruit was ganged together, hiding from the meringue.

The cream had the whole dessert surrounded, smeared around the edge of the plate. But of all the indignities, it was the crust that suffered most of all.

It appeared as a chewy tube, resting on the meringue like a fallen girder. I was outraged. If I want to buy something I have to assemble myself, I’ll go to IKEA. I’m all for reinvention, but you shouldn’t destroy the classics. I don’t want the constituent parts of my meal looking as if they’ve just had a falling out and aren’t presently speaking to each other. When I asked for waiter for the instructions, he took my little fork, replacing it with an Allen key and a diagram. Suddenly, I’d lost my appetite. I’m used to BYO meals, but DYI is simply too much. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ENTERTAINMENT

Performance THE Australian rock scene of the 70s was at its best, courtesy of Marshall Amplification and bands like the Skyhooks, Sports, Company Caine, Mighty Kong, The Toads and Murtceps.

For the best part of the seventies Australia created ever more sophisticated popular rock bands that had re-drawn the boundaries of acceptability and given the youth of Australia its own music, so no JOK, Johnny Chester or Delltones; but JOK did make the stage at Sunbury to a surprisingly joyous crowd, about the time l was looking for my clothes l had left on the river bank.

To celebrate the 70s, Warner Music and Festival Records have released a new double CD set When the Sun Sets over Carlton: Melbourne’s Countercultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70’s.

A deluxe 2CD set documents the arts and politics-infused rock scene that gave Melbourne and Australia such multifaceted cultural icons as Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri, Stephen Cummings, Jane Clifton, Peter Lillie, Ross Wilson, Ross Hannaford, Greg Macainsh, Red Symons and Shirley Strachan. Taking its title from the famous song by the scene’s best known band Skyhooks, the album traces the counter cultural scene’s development from its beginnings in venues like the TF Much Ballroom and Carlton’s La Mama and Pram Factory theatres through Skyhooks breakout success to the thriving pub scene found in legendary venues like Martini’s and the Tiger Lounge. It presents also a glimpse of the birth of Melbourne’s hugely influential 3RRR-FM, which was born out of this scene.

It features rare and unreleased recordings from Paul Kelly, Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons, The Sports & Daddy Cool, as well as first recordings of future members of The Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, Icehouse & Crowded House.

The 44-track collection includes Daddy Cool covering Skyhooks in ’74, an unreleased Skyhooks demo featuring original singer Steve Hill, two unreleased studio recordings by Paul Kelly’s first band The High Rise Bombers and two little-known tracks from the selfreleased 1979 EP by his next band The

Dots, an unreleased early Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons demo from ’76, a preSports demo by Stephen Cummings with Dave Flett, the first track ever released by Wayne Burt’s pre-Falcons Band (with Pat Wilson) Rock Granite, an unreleased Bleeding Hearts demo produced by Greg Macainsh and rare material from the Pure Shit soundtrack.

It also features a mix of classic and lesser known other material from the likes of The Sports, Stiletto (featuring Jane Clifton), The Bleeding Hearts, The Pelaco Bros (featuring Stephen Cummings, Peter Lillie, Johnny Topper and Joe Camilleri), Eric Gradman Man & Machine, early Mondo Rock, Company Caine, Spare Change (featuring John Dowler), Parachute, Mark Gillespie, The Millionaires, The Indelible Murtceps (alter-ego of the legendary Spectrum), Peter Lillie & The Leisuremasters and more.

The collection comes in a slipcase and with an illustrated 52-page booklet fea-

turing 15,000 words from musicians including Paul Kelly, Jane Clifton, Johnny Topper as well as esteemed rock writer Jen Jewel Brown. The album’s eyepopping logo/title design was drawn by legendary ‘70s Australian cartoonist and cover/poster artist Ian McCausland.

To coincide with release, Festival will also be releasing Expanded Editions of the classic albums by two of Melbourne and indeed Australia’s most-loved bands of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s period; the first two albums by The Sports (Reckless & Don’t Throw Stones from 78 & 79) and Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons’ breakthrough album from (Screaming Targets from 79) . All three albums, which were originally released on Mushroom and have been long out of print on CD, have been remastered from original tapes.

Songs like Hit and Run, Shape I’m In, Don’t Throw Stones, When You Walk in the Room, Who Listens to the Radio and more.

When the Sun Sets Over Carlton:

Melbourne’s Counter cultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70s’ now available at all stores. *** MARK Walberg will star in the movie, Six Billion Dollar Man. The film is based on the 1970s television series ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’, and will see the actor reunite with director Peter Berg (Lone Survivor). The TV series starred Lee Majors as Steve Austin, a former astronaut outfitted with bionic implants. A popular science fiction series which later had a love interest with the series The Bionic Woman. The series was cancelled in 1978. *** ROBERT Plant has turned down millions of dollars from Sir Richard Branson to reunite Lez Zeppelin. Sir Richard offered the deal to play 35 dates in three cities, London, Berlin and New Jersey.

Branson also offered to let the band use one of his jets and rename it ‘The Starship’. Jimmy page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham (son of John Bonham) agreed to the tour but Plant said no. *** GOLDEN Guitar winner, singer/songwriter, historian, author, TV presenter and school teacher, Ted Egan OAM will launch his new book The Anzacs: 100 Years On in Story and Song at the Frankston RSL on Thursday November 27, 2-4pm. Egan will also perform and copies of the book with CD of 20 songs will be on sale. Egan began writing songs about life in the Northern Territory in the 1960s and made his first recordings in 1969. He has produced over twenty albums and appeared on a regular basis at folk and country music festivals. He has several degrees in literature and history and is a member of the first National Reconciliation Council. For more details email books@wilddingopress.com.au *** SHANE Nicholson’s prolific musical career began with rock band Pretty Violet Stain in the late ‘90’s. After two EP’s and the album Parachutes & Gravity, Shane began a solo project with 2003’s its A Movie, later voted by USA Today as one of the Top 10 Pop Albums of 2004. This

tion is above board are fully paid up members of the “A fool and his money are soon parted” society. Locally we received a letter from Minister for Education Martin Dixon, inculcate, none the wiser. Martin sent a second glossy, historical as an example of how a political party can twist the truth. We await the result, knowing full well every front page from that newspaper will feature disaster for Labor voters. Either way I expect nothing for the Mornington Peninsula with an unbeatable majority. Be nice to know Danny Andrew’s thinking on the 99 year lease at Point Nepean, or public housing at Fishermans Bend? *** I have nothing against Denis; if he gets in good luck to him, although I would love to see the back of Matthew Guy. In terms of danger to our way of life I rate Denis as a daddy long legs against the redback Minister for Immigation and border protection, and of course the dastardly Sydney funnel web. *** Best to leave crime statistics to the police, likewise paramedic and CFA response times and the results of the investigation into sexual exploitation.

Let us know after the election apparently. Some things are held back to “after” while others, as with the East West Link to “before”. There were 10,670 bashings, robberies, sex at-

tacks and deaths in the CBD during the past five years, but “too much information”, unless this included Muslims. In the meantime I’m listening to Deano Martini singing “You’re nobody till somebody loves you”. *** I need Deano at times, particularly when females sprout their advices on the wireless “Everybody needs 8 hours sleep, eat your greens, exercises”. Always females, no idea why? I recall Phillip Adams talking of a chap who lived on canned food for years.

Then there was Virgil G Perkins, author of international best-seller Enjoying Jogging who collapsed and died whilst jogging aged 26, leaving behind a wife, Beverley, their daughter, Alexis, and seven other children by previous marriages. *** I wrote to the great Gough Whitlam in the 70‘s asking why he supported Indonesia’s takeover of East Timor.

Days later Gough telephoned, carefully explaining his reasoning. We agreed to disagree but quite a gentleman. We who lived through those years were so very lucky. Gough stood head and shoulders (literally and spiritually) above everyone. He was our star, our inspiration, our hope, by a mile. “Optimism, enthusiasm and confidence against fear, prejudice and conformity”. At Gough’s memorial service Graham Freuden-

berg said “never more than now”.

Spot on Graham. *** Jeffrey Kennett, always remembered with the arrival of our electricity bills, now holds a position of some respect within our community. Jeffrey has kindly taken it upon himself to delve into the reasons leading to our choice at the forthcoming state election sighting performance, personality and policies as the ingredients to watch out for. It’s “London to a brick on” his bottom line will be in favour of dashing Denis Napthine.

Stop Press: A week later Jeffrey came out in favour of Dashing Denis. Coincidentally Denis has promised more schools. That’s funny, seeing as our man Jeffrey closed so many in his time. *** A joint state and federal police task force to investigate union corruption compliments of Tony and Denis called on the day before the political election cut off period. Danny welcomes this investigation, again lying low. Why not call it as it so obviously is Danny? A set-up! Have a go ya mug! One wonders what our police forces were doing prior to Tony’s call to arms? The disturbing aspect is that it shows the degree to which our politicians think of us. *** The Australian Study of Health and

was followed in 2006 by Faith and Science. Both albums resulted in extensive touring in Australia and USA. In 2008, Shane and Kasey Chambers released Rattlin’ Bones. The album debuted at No.1, achieved platinum sales, was awarded Best Country Album at the ARIA Awards.

The ARIA Award-nominated Familiar Ghosts followed, debuting at No.6 on the albums chart. Shortly thereafter moving into production, Shane worked across albums for Catherine Britt, Beccy Cole, Angie Hart, Alex Lloyd and many more.

Shane’s 4th solo album Bad Machines debuted at No.3 on the ARIA Country Charts, scored 6 Golden Guitar nominations (winning Song of the Year), a Best Country Album ARIA nomination, and the APRA Country Work of the Year award.

Shane and Kasey’s second collaborative effort, Wreck & Ruin, debuted at No.6 in October 2012, scored 5 CMAA nominations (winning Best Group/Duo) and took them to the Grand Ole Opry.

In December 2013, it won the ARIA Award for Best Country Album.

Shane Nicholson has now signed to Lost Highway Records (Universal Music) as a Staff Producer and artist and will release a new album Pitch, Roll & Yaw: Live and Solo this week.

Lost Highway has signed and been instrumental in the careers of some of the biggest roots and country artists in the world, including Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, the Jayhawks, Whiskeytown, Lyle Lovett, Shelby Lynne, the hugely successful soundtrack of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Willie Nelson, the late Johnny Cash and many others. www.shanenicholson.com facebook. com/ShaneNicholsonMusic twitter.com/shanenicholson

A Grain of Salt UNBIASED ELECTION EDITION: I read my favourite newspaper (Herald-Sun) every morning. I skip Andrew Bolt obviously. I might be stupid but I’m not that stupid. As always to the double page spread “YOUR SAY”. I ponder for hours at Bob’s Cafe (free newspaper), forever wondrous of the intellectual wit of those letter writers providing the majority thoughts of our nation. As Alan Marshall wrote in This is the Grass “I have sometimes thought that if the people with the crippled minds had to have the visible supports of those with crippled legs the streets of Melbourne would be loud with the tapping of crutches”. *** The polls indicate Andrews but they did the same with Brumby last time.

What with Teddy Baillieu, Geoff Shaw and Denis the menace capturing the headlines young Danny Andrews has been able to keep his head down, occasionally being allowed to bob up with world shattering ideas like school kids meals, Grand Final holiday and number plates. Factually, economically, the Libs arrived 4 years ago in good health but we have gone slightly downhill since. Personally I see health services and obviously basic living costs as the big two.

We are being treated like bunnies in matters of electricity, gas and water, and those who believe superannua-

Baxter sitting pretty at the top PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER is sitting pretty at the top of the MPCA Provincial cricket ladder after smashing Rye outright on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve.

Heading into day two of the clash, Baxter was already in a commanding position after bowling out the Demons for just 117 in the first innings.

Baxter then made a quick fire 7/164 before having a crack at Rye again late on the first day.

Resuming at 1/4, Rye didn’t play any better in their second innings, bowled out for just 92. Skipper Tom Baron top scored with an unbeaten 33.

After picking up five wickets in the first innings, Leigh Paterson was the destroyer again in the second dig, snaring another five scalps.

At one stage Rye was 5/17.

The visitors needed just 40-odd runs in the second inning to pick up the outright victory. They made the required runs with just three wickets down.

Baxter is now two points clear of Long Island, who sit in second place after disposing of Pines.

After setting the Piners 253 for victory, Scott Phillips brought his A-game to the table and tore through the opposition, picking up 4/29.

Greg Lamb and Chris Hocking also took two wickets each, eventually

rolling the home side for just 137.

Jarred Coad was the sole contributor for the Piners, scoring a third of the total team’s runs with 56.

Sorrento is in third place on the ladder after humiliating Langwarrin.

The Sorras were restricted to a modest total of 210 when they batted on day one of the match, however, it was always going to be enough against the brittle Langwarrin batting line-up.

For the second time in as many matches, Langwarrin’s batsmen rolled over, dismissed for just 114.

Andy Johnson top scored with 40 and Matt Prosser hit 24, however, the day belonged to the Sorrento bowlers.

AJ King is in scintillating form this

season and he was the destroyer on Saturday, taking 4/23. His brother CJ was just as damaging with 3/43 while Anthony Blackwell chipped in with 2/17.

Pensinsula Old Boys round off the top four after they eased to victory against Crib Point.

The Old Boys were good with the bat last week making 8/262.

It proved to be almost 150 runs too many for the Magpies, who were skittled for just 132.

Mt Eliza got its season back on track, picking up its first points of the season after cruising to victory against Heatherhill.

Setting the Hills 259 for victory, the Mounties already had the opposition

on the ropes when they resumed at 1/9.

The Hills would add just a further 98 runs, bowled out for 117. Lyle House took 6/39.

Mt Eliza obviously went for the outright win but Heatherhill dug deep and at the close of play were 3/85.

Mornington also went for the outright victory after bowling Moorooduc out for just 69 in their first innings.

The Dogs made 158 on the opening day of the match and had the Ducs 2/25 overnight. In the second innings, Moorooduc ended on 6/78.

Hillmen earn a tough win DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED HILL remains six points clear at the top of the MPCA District cricket ladder after holding off a persistent Carrum on Saturday.

The Hillmen set the Lions a whopping 291 for victory after skipper Simon Dart smacked 180 in the opening day of the match.

It always looked like too many runs for the Lions to chase down but they gave it a red hot crack, eventually bowled out for 250 with eight overs to spare.

A number of Carrum batsmen got great starts but just couldn’t push on and get the three figures, which was needed from at least one of their batsmen.

Dean Polson top scored for the Lions with 61, while Dylan Steed (47), Josh Dent (32), Dale O’Neil (32) and Liam Dobson (25) all got very good starts.

Andrew Mock was the pick of the bowlers for the Hillmen with 3/26 from eight overs, while Lincoln Toy and Brent Martin each claimed two wickets.

Mt Martha is in second place on the ladder after making light work of Delacombe Park.

The Reds are in some great form this season and it’s the younger players who are bringing the good form to the table.

On Saturday, the Reds were defending 227, a tall order considering the talent of the Parkers’ batting line up.

However, other than an 83 from skipper Chris Brittain, the visitors were ordinary at best with the bat.

Despite the loss, Delacombe is still equal fourth on points, however, they are 18 points behind Mt Martha.

Seaford is outright third on 30 points after getting the job done against Main Ridge.

Main Ridge was always on the back foot after being bowled out for just 138 on the first day of the match.

Seaford was resuming at 2/27 but 47 runs from Damien Lawrence assured the visitors of a victory.

Scott Millar was superb with the ball for the Ridge with 7/78. Seaford was eventually bowled out for 193.

PAGE 38

Main Ridge had another hit and fared much better in their second innings, scoring 2/262, Michael Holmes top scoring with 79.

Somerville scraped over the line against Flinders, getting home in a thriller by just three runs.

Somerville was defending 191 and had Flinders resuming at 3/49. That quickly became 5/87.

However, Tommy Clements (34), Shane Beggs (40) and Andrew Power (30) all got among the runs, giving Flinders plenty of hope.

At one stage, Flinders was looking like it was in the box seat at 6/170.

However, the Sharks lost two quick wickets with the score on 171 and 173, before again looking in command at 8/188, just four runs shy of winning. However, they lost 2/0 to be bowled out for 188.

Aaron Kaddatz was superb with 4/53 for the Eagles, picking up the tail that was causing all the damage.

Matt Eager was also fantastic, picking up the key wickets of Tom Clements, Beggs and Power.

Hastings has clawed its way off the bottom of the ladder after a strong victory against Boneo.

The Blues went into the second day of its match in a commanding position after setting the opposition 234 for victory.

Boneo fell well short, bowled out for 143.

The skipper Timmy Birch led from the front, snaring 3/18, while Mitchell Floyd picked-up 3/26 to give him eight wickets for the season and Chris Sawosz helped himself to 2/13 from nine overs.

Stewart Mathieson top scored for the Pandas with 43, batting at nine.

Seaford Tigers were touched-up

by Baden Powell.

The Braves only made 180 in 80 overs on week one of the match, however, bowled out the home side for just 147 on the second day.

Corey Hand was once again a shining light for the Tigers with a top score of 44.

The win gave the Braves their first points for the season.

Frogs and Buds are well clear of the pack SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Rosebud are 12 points clear at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after recording comfortable victories on Saturday.

Tootgarook was defending 249 against the Yabbies and had the visitors 1/23 overnight.

Tyabb added only a further 117 runs to the total before being bowled out for just 140.

After making 39 with the bat on the first day of the match, Matt Whelan had a day out with the ball on the

second day, picking up a game-high 7/42.

Rosebud also made light work of their opposition, snaring 15 wickets against Skye.

The Buds were defending 8/232 after batting well on the first week of the match.

Geoff Glaum was the unlikely star with the ball for the Buds with 4/34 from nine overs while Patrick Nagel helped himself to 3/16 off 11 overs.

Adam Bryant snared 2/16 from 13 overs, giving him 14 wickets for the season.

Skye skipper and keeper Rob Gruer

top scored for his side with 26.

The Buds went for the outright, however, could only manage five second innings wickets. Jason Nagel was the pick of the bowlers with 3/19.

A magnificent 116 from Gavin Moore ensured Pearcedale picked up the 12 points against Dromana.

The Hoppers made 180 in their time at the crease and had Pearcedale in a little bit of strife at 2/57 overnight.

However, Moore, who was resuming on 40, controlled the match on the second day and working his way to three figures while wickets fell around him.

Pearcedale was 5/87 at one stage and

then fell to 7/143.

When Moore went, the Dales were still 14 runs away from victory.

A fighting 30 from keeper Chris Whiteley, who was batting at nine, and 22 from number 11 Calvin Bypost saw the home side finish on 221, a 41 run victory in the end.

Jeff Bluhm was the best of the Hoppers’ bowlers with 5/58.

Balnarring was always going to defend its massive 6/335 against Frankston YCW, however, the Stonecats didn’t roll over.

Jack Greenwood is a star in the making and he was superb on

Saturday with 76, while Matty Lane was unbeaten on 45 after hitting three fours and a six.

Nathan Kleinig was the pick of the bowlers for the Saints, bowling 20 overs and finishing with 6/57.

In the final match, Carrum Downs and Ballam Park played out a draw.

The Knights set the Cougars 203 for victory and when the game came to a close at the end of the 80th over on the second day, the visitors were locked at 9/203.

Despite the draw, the Knights remain in the top four, eight points clear of Balnarring who are in fifth.

Panthers land a coach Peninsula Golf Classic a big hit FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE has finally signed a new coach.

After making a lot of phone calls and offering huge money, the Panthers finally opted to appoint their full forward Pat Heijden as coach.

Heijden will be supported by teammates Dylan Hoare and Mitchell Smith, who are assistants, while Juan and Jamie Merchan will assist off the field.

Despite getting the role, word on the street is that Heijden is heading overseas in January for a couple of months.

The Panthers passed-up the opportunity to appoint club legends Josh Beard and Shane Urbans, who would have been superb for the club.

It is certainly a case of ‘watch this space’ with Pearcedale this upcoming season.

Demons lose and gain After signing five players from Vermont a couple of weeks ago, Rye has said goodbye to a player who spends as much time away from the club as he does at it.

Aaron Findlay signed with The Basin on Thursday night.

Getting wind that this may happen, Rye was on the front foot, ensuring they had an ace up their sleeve and picked-up a full forward from Mooroolbark, 27-year-old Adrian Gileno.

Van Unen a Redleg Rye was hoping to sign Justin Van Unen, who kicked more than 100 goals a few seasons back, however, he has settled at Mt Eliza.

Eagles flying high Somerville has continued to welcome new faces to the club.

After signing Tommy Shaw (Seaford) and Scott Simpson (Dolphins), the word is that Chris Irving is also considering a move to the nest.

That news was on the back of former North Melbourne rookie Timmy McGennis signing with the club.

McGennis’ best mates and 2014 Frankston YCW premiership players Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe are also on their way to the nest.

A couple of questions! Where is Somerville getting the money to pay for these players and how do they fit them under the player points system?

Keeping in mind Somerville recruited Tim and David Hirst, Kane McKenzie and Cal Dixon last season.

Sharks not done After announcing that former St Kilda star Lenny Hayes is highly likely to play at Sorrento next season, we also hear that Darren Jolly has been linked with the club.

We have heard though that his asking price might be a bit too high, even for the Sharks!

THE fifth annual Mornington Peninsula Golf Classic was a huge success over the week of 5 to 10 October.

Almost 220 players travelled from around Australia and New Zealand to play the four tournament courses in this year’s Golf Classic – The Ocean Course at The National, Portsea, Flinders and The Dunes. Many golfers also enjoyed the opening day’s golf at Sorrento as well as the final day of golf at Mornington.

Groups of golfers from clubs such as Cronulla, Hawks Nest, Pennant Hills, Royal Canberra, Sanctuary Cove, Shortland Waters, South Lakes and Yowani joined with other golfers to play in the graded tournament.

The Men’s winner was James Rutter (7 handicap) from Hawks Nest with a score of 143 points. The runner up, with a score of 142 points, on a countback at The Dunes, was Steve McCosker (10.4 handicap), from Ryde-Parramatta. The women’s winner was Netti Buchanan (12.1 handicap) from Pennant Hills with a score of 127 points. The runner up was Sarah Hodgkinson (21.9 handicap) from New South Wales, with a score of 125 points. Sarah was the runner up also on a countback at Portsea.

The overall winner was James Rutter and the overall runner up was Steve McCosker. The winners were presented with their prizes at the Presentation Dinner on the last night at The National Golf Club - a truly gourmet dinner and a great night.

Five of our golfers were also presented with their “Five Year Participation” awards and to really join in the spirit, a couple of the five year golfers also wore their previous years’ Golf Classic
