Winged Wonders in the Skies

over Rosebud!

Now in it’s eleventh year, the special atmosphere generated on the foreshore at Rosebud over the Labour Day weekend will be boosted by a spectacular, world first, aero display. Spectators will be delighted with the new trio of maxi kites which will be flown on Sunday 8th March, which is the main festival day. Star of the show will be Toothless, the black dragon, most frequently seen on the big screen, animated in 3D in ‘How to Train a Dragon’. This kite has recently been involved in hair raising, promotional stunts across the world, including the technically complicated, but successful spectacle of him flying under London Bridge on the Thames.

This once-in-a-lifetime flight, as you can imagine, involved many complicated approvals and logistical issues. Similar stunts planned for San Francisco were

foiled by American red tape but there are no such issues at Rosebud, when Toothless will be unrestricted in his aero adventures!

Joining him will be Puff, the red dragon and graceful Pegasus, a white winged horse. This will be the first time these three flying beasts have featured in the one arena and will be a treat for the Rosebud spectators.

Undoubtedly there’s something very special about the Rosebud Kite Festival.

Offering a free program of quality kiteinspired entertainment, it has become a quirky celebration of Aussie coastal life. With its iconic location on the Rosebud beach, festival goers will look to both the skyline and shoreline for an impressive array of beautiful kites and fun, family activities.

‘Horsing around’ with wedge Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LANDOWNERS have been accused of trying to carve up Kingston Green Wedge land for residential development under the guise of horse agistment.

Two applications by landowners to subdivide land for “horse agistment” in recent months have been narrowly voted through by councillors against

the advice of council officers.

In September last year a five lots subdivision at 2 Leslie Rd, Clarinda was narrowly approved by councillors for horse agistment against council officers’ advice.

At the latest public planning meeting last month, councillors voted to approve a ten lots subdivision of land at 217-227 Kingston Rd, Heatherton for the same purpose.

Kingston councillors who opposed both planning applications believe

the submissions are being rushed through to exploit “a loophole” before the areas are rezoned as Green Wedge A with a minimum lot size of 40 hectares.

Cr David Eden said the council officers’ planning report noted the Heatherton application was inconsistent with state and council planning policy.

“It’s just bizarre that we’re dealing with an application here to give each horse on land its own title to land. I

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

think it’s a bizarre indictment on this council that we’re entertaining such a proposition and overturning an officer refusal.”

Cr Eden noted horses could be housed on the land under the planned Green Wedge A zone without the need for land subdivision.

Defenders of the South East Green Wedge president Barry Ross told The News “the [Heatherton] layout looks suspiciously like a plan for a residential subdivision”.

“The proposed subdivision would create 10 blocks with an average size of 0.264 hectares, which is well short of the subdivision limit of 40 hectares.”

The council officers’ report noted “supplementary feeding” would be needed for ponies living on the land because a soil fertility report noted they could not feed off the land which is the site of a former rubbish tip.

Thousands flock to food and wine festival CROWDS of more than 40,000 people enjoyed an action-packed weekend at the annual Mordialloc Food, Wine & Music Festival.

A massive line-up of musicians headlined by Aussie music legend Russell Morris on Sunday - drew young and old alike to the two-day event at Mordialloc’s Peter Scullin Reserve.

The festival featured non-stop music across three stages, roving performers, chef demonstrations, gourmet food and wine stalls, rides, children’s activities and more.

“Mordialloc by the Bay Fine Food, Wine and Music Festival is our most well-attended event in Kingston’s season of festivals. It is renowned for attracting legendary musicians, up-and-coming bands, top chefs and a mouth-watering selection of gourmet food, regionally-made wines and boutique beers,” Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said.

“This year’s event was a roaring success - despite some wild weather on Saturday night - and thousands of people enjoyed a wonderful weekend.”

The Mordialloc Food, Wine and Music Festival is hosted annually by the City of Kingston.

NEW residential planning zones across Kingston are no closer to coming into force almost two years after being flagged by the previous state government.

Kingston Council had its request, after community consultation, to have more than 75 per cent of the region classed as non-growth Neighbourhood Residential Zone areas, effectively rejected by the state planning department (‘Kingston back in the zone’, The News 17/9/14).

Neighbourhood Residential Zones “protect and maintain liveability and

neighbourhood character” under the state government proposals.

The government’s independent Residential Zones Standing Advisory Committee (RZSAC) advised former planning minister Matthew Guy (Liberal) to give Kingston Council another chance to develop its future housing policy.

Kingston councillors unanimously voted at last week’s public council meeting to brief incoming local Labor state MPs “on the importance of reviewing the implementation of the new residential zones”.

Cr Rosemary West said Kingston remained vulnerable to overdevelopment while the situation remained unresolved.

“Just about every council planning meeting we have planning applications that would not have got through if the new residential zones had been in place with their mandatory height limits,” she said.

Cr West noted a two-storey height limit would apply in the Ormond St and Barkley St area in Mordialloc, for example, yet applications for three-storey apartment blocks had been lodged.

Cr Steve Staikos hosed down suggestions council would have to go back to the drawing board after council spent several months consulting with the community before lodging its original RZSAC submission last year.

“Council isn’t going to be starting from scratch. We aren’t working with a blank canvas,” he said.

“We can feasibly review what we’ve got, update it and consult with the community and use it as a basis for which we can not only justify our RSZAC submission but also defend ourselves at VCAT if and when the need arises.”

The Plan Melbourne proposal has forecast Kingston’s population will rise to 180,100 in 2031 compared to 148,300 in 2011.

This would mean more homes in the region are needed for the projected 21 per cent increase in population.

ANIMAL lovers, pet owners and their four-legged friends are invited to Kingston Council’s annual Pet Expo.

The popular annual event is on Saturday 14 March from 10am-3pm at Corrigan Oval and the Harold Box Community Centre in Marcus Rd, Dingley.

Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said the Pet Expo was a fun day out for the whole family and pets are welcome to join in.

“Kingston’s Pet Expo is a fantastic day out to celebrate the positive role pets can play in our community and to promote responsible pet ownership,” Cr Gledhill said.

The Pet Expo features: n Free activities including pony rides, live reptile display, face painting and giant animal farm n Entertaining demonstrations from the Moorabbin Dog Obedience Club and Frankston Fly Ball team, ferret races, dog dancing and more n Dog and cat competitions including best-dressed dog and cat, happiest dog and dog and owner lookalike competition n Budgerigar show n Market stalls.

Entry to the Kingston Pet Expo is free. Please note all dogs must be on a leash at all times and cats kept in a secure cage.

Pets can be microchipped and registered while enjoying a great day out.

“Disappointingly, pet registration rates are dropping in Kingston and we.d like to encourage all pet owners to come along and register their animals to ensure lost animals can be reunited with their owners,” Cr Gledhill said.

Pet registration is compulsory under state law and Council staff will be on hand to help make registering your pet quick and easy.

“Don’t worry if you haven’t registered your pet in the past just come along and we’ll get it sorted, no questions asked,” Cr Gledhill said.

Call Kingston Council on 1300 653 356 to check eligibility for reduced registration fees since documentation may be needed on the day to receive a discount. See kingston.vic.gov.au

Testing time: Donna Bauer, Mardi Ball and Malcolm Butel at Patterson Lakes Pharmacy where bowel cancer testing kits are available.

Bauer talks bowel cancer FORMER Liberal MP Donna Bauer faced many challenges in the cut and thrust of politics but a personal health challenge proved to be the toughest one of all.

Mrs Bauer has taken up the role of a Bowel Cancer Australia Ambassador after her own experience of bowel cancer last year highlighted the importance of raising awareness about this largely preventable and treatable disease.

At just 43 years of age, the busy mother of four and elected member for the seat of Carrum was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Like many people, she thought bowel cancer was an older person’s disease and despite a family history of the disease, didn’t think she needed to worry about it just yet.

“I had been experiencing some discomfort since walking the Kokoda track nine months earlier, but I was busy with parliamentary commitments and looking after my family, and just couldn’t seem to find the time to have the required

medical tests to determine the cause,” she said.

“If I had not found the time when I did, the prognosis could have been very different.”

Mrs Bauer required surgery to remove an aggressive, localised cancer followed by a six-month course of chemotherapy and her future looks bright.

Despite the shock of a cancer diagnosis and the challenges of treatment, she continued in her role as a MP until losing the seat with the change of government at last November’s state election.

“I am passionate about raising awareness. If I can help to save one life by spreading the messages about looking after your health and the importance of early detection, then that’s a good thing.”

“Bowels may not be the most appealing topic of conversation, but it is a conversation we need to have.

Make a vow to talk bowel,” she said.

Fun and therapy on the water

Police patrol

KAYAKING on the Patterson River is a peaceful – and therapeutic – activity for disabled residents of the Blairlogie Living and Learning Centre at Cranbourne South.

Support worker Ashley Moon said members of the group, who kayak each Friday for two hours, had learned to paddle which improved their coordination and confidence on the water.

“Some are more independent than others but they all get enjoyment out of it,” he said.

The kayaks are borrowed from Patterson Lakes Canoe Club, with president Alan Opie a regular assistant.

“They obviously have fun and it’s a privilege to be able to help,” he said.

Blairlogie Living and Learning Centre is a non-profit community service organisation, governed by a voluntary Board of Management.

They have been providing support services to adults with a disability since 1987 and are funded by the state government and Department of Human Services.

Copper stolen ABOUT 30 metres of copper pipe and taps were reported stolen from a vacant house in Warrigal Rd, Mentone, on 27 February. The piping extended from the mains tap to the rear laundry, where a door had been forced. The theft became known when a contractor could not get water from the tap.

Painter scam RESIDENTS are asked to beware of scammers pretending to be from Neighbourhood Watch offering to spray paint house numbers on curbs for $20. While many local laws require house numbers to be clearly visible for police and emergency services, the scammers do not represent Neighbourhood Watch.

It is not illegal to have the numbers painted for a fee, but purporting to be from Neighbourhood Watch is. Residents should call 000 if approached and should not hand over money in exchange for these services.

House break-in A BURGLAR broke into a house in Poulson St, Carrum, on 24 February, and stole $1200 in coins from tins on a bedside table. The offender gained entry through a wind-out window and searched through bedside drawers, tallboy and wardrobe dragging them onto the bed and onto the floor.

Some jewellery was also possibly stolen but the victim was unsure due to the mess left in the bedroom.

The offender also searched a rear shed for items but nothing further was taken.

Water systems stolen A THIEF cut two locks off a side gate at a bakery in Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights, last weekend and stole two hot water systems valued at $4000.

Earlier, a white Commodore was seen driving around the area and stopping outside the premises.

CCTV footage shows a man entering the rear yard wearing gloves and dark clothing around 11pm and leaving with the water heaters.

Aggravated burglary AN off-duty policeman’s house in White St, Parkdale, was broken into last weekend and three iPads, two iPhones, laptop computer, child’s cricket bag, wallet containing credit cards – and a police identification badge – were stolen. The theft came to light when the victim received a call from his bank to say that his cards had been used. The offenders gained entry through a rear door when the occupants – including two young boys - were sleeping.

Entre vous A LARGE doggie door may have been used by thieves to gain entry to a partially-built house in Hughes Ave, Chelsea, over the weekend 27 February-2 March. They made off with a builder’s replicating saw valued at $300 and a red, heavy duty radio valued at $380. A wire mesh fence across the front appeared to have been pulled apart to gain entry to the block.

Planning move to name names Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au GREATER “transparency and accountability” around planning applications is set to be enforced at Kingston Council.

Cr David Eden’s suggestion that a councillor’s name be listed on a planning report if a councillor “calls in” a planning application to be debated and voted on in council chambers was backed by the majority of Kingston councillors at last week’s public council meeting.

The reason for calling in the planning application will also be listed.

“I’ve had considerable community feedback over the last few years where residents come to me and they say ‘why did this application end up on the agenda?’ and it’s only when you start ringing up the planning department or CEO that you find out it’s because a particular councillor called it in,” he said.

Cr Eden said the proposal was about “being transparent and being accountable” while “not casting aspersions” on why a councillor has called in a planning application.

Residents would no longer have to contact council departments or submit freedom of information requests if a councillor’s name is listed on a planning report, according to Cr Eden.

Cr Ron Brownlees said “every councillor has the right to call an application in” but he said the appropriate place to discuss the reason is

at a public council meeting.

Council CEO John Nevins cautioned councillors could “put themselves at risk” if the reason for calling in a planning application could be “reasonably interpreted” as a pre-judgement of the matter by that councillor.

Crs Steve Staikos and Tamara Barth said they called in planning applications if residents expressed concern about a development in their neighbourhood.

Cr Rosemary West said “It is not wrong for a councillor to call in an application … [however] it is unusual for councillors to call in matters that have been refused by officers.

Normally if officers think things are inappropriate we don’t call them in.”

Crs Eden, Barth, Brownlees, Staikos, West, Tamsin Bearsley and mayor Geoff Gledhill supported listing a councillor’s name on a planning application which is called in. Cr Paul Peulich abstained. Cr John Ronke was absent from the meeting.

Crs Staikos, West, Bearsley, Eden and Barth voted to include a reason for calling an application in while crs Brownlees, Peulich and Gledhill unsuccessfully opposed the move.

“Planning is a very significant issue in the Kingston community …

I think it [naming councillors] empowers residents with the information they need to cast a ballot come the next council election and the one after that,” Cr Eden said.

School birdhouse complete

BIRDS of a feather will flock together at Carrum Primary School in a new bird aviary built with the help of Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society members and schoolchildren’s parents.

Society life member Graham Harbert visited the school last Thursday to release birds including Princess parrots, scarlet crested parrots and Australian grass finches into their new home.

Principal Alana O’Neil said pupils are enthusiastic about caring for the birds.

“The children go in there and feed them and tend them,” Ms O’Neil said. “When we’ve had eggs in the past they’ve watched them hatch.”

Goats and chickens also call the school home.

Rescue boat blessed CARRUM Coast Guard has a new vessel in its fleet. The catchily named CG207 was commissioned for service last Sunday (22 February).

HMAS Cerberus navy chaplain Stephen Estherby blessed the boat before its maiden voyage. The CG207 is a Palegic boat made by PHA Welding & Marine based in Leongatha.

Carrum Coast Guard commander Matt Semmens said the new boat’s distinctive design means it is a valuable addition to the flotilla.

“It’s a quick response vessel based on American technology,” he said.

“We can get in to really shallow water, down to about a foot of water.”

The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard has 19 volunteer Coast Guard bases across Victoria, including Port Phillip Bay and Western Port.

Volunteer crews are on standby to help people and vessels in distress 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Boaties can register their journey details before they set off via a SafeTrx smartphone app.

Registering a journey via the app takes the “search” out of “search and rescue”, according to the Coast Guard.

See coastguard.com.au/safetrx for details.

‘Horse play’ in Green Water ski tricks and tumbles Wedge under scrutiny Continued from Page 1 Cr Ron Brownlees called in the Heatherton planning application to debate in council chambers.

“The subdivision is really the only way that non-urban land such as this can be used in a manner that doesn’t develop it for factories or warehouses or houses and I think any argument about any intention down the track is purely mythical,” Cr Brownlees said.

He said animal husbandry is permissible in Kingston’s Green Wedge.

Cr Tamsin Bearsley welcomed the return of horses to Kingston’s Green Wedge.

“If it’s possible to bring the horses back, it would be wonderful,” she said.

“Horses can be agisted on former landfills. We do it in Chelsea.”

Cr Bearsley said “a lot of horse owners have to agist their horses way out of Kingston.”

“This provides them with the opportunity to buy a block of land and put their one horse on it. That is why it needs to be subdivided because that is what will be offered. People will be

able to buy one block of land to agist their one horse.”

Nick Charalambakis, speaking on behalf of applicant Kingston Heights Pty Ltd, said: “The applicant is genuine about this proposal and is happy to accept a [section] 173 requirement upon his permit to say that he can only use these lots for horse agistment.”

Cr Steve Staikos noted a section 173 condition can be removed in future “at the stroke of a pen” if both parties agree so would give “little comfort”.

Crs Brownlees, Bearsley, John Ronke and mayor Geoff Gledhill voted to approve the Heatherton subdivision.

Crs Eden, Staikos and Rosemary West opposed the application.

Crs Paul Peulich and Tamara Barth were absent from the planning meeting.

Mr Ross said the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge had appealed to VCAT against the Clarinda council approval and he would consult colleagues to decide whether to appeal the Heatherton subdivision approval.

Community grants back on table APPLICATIONS are now open for the 2015-16 Kingston Council’s community grants program with thousands of dollars on offer to help local community groups as they work to build a stronger, healthier and socially connected Kingston.

Vital work by local community groups was given a $1.2million boost this financial year due to these community grants.

Access and equity grants, arts grants, Children’s Weeks grants and Youth Festival grants are available. Three-year partnership grants to long-established community organisations are available for the first time this year.

THE glitz and glamour of choreographed water skiing bought the National Water Sports Centre to life last weekend.

Spectators were thrilled with high jumps, somersaults, loop-the-loops and aerial gymnastics – one a wingedkeel ski - by the well-trained groups.

Members of the Southern Water Ski Show team – based at Patterson Lakes - were competing in the National Show Ski titles against teams from Western Australia and Mulwala.

The 35-member team put on a spectacular show on their home course but, unfortunately, came in third.

Ages range from 9-50 for members who get together at Patterson Lakes Primary for gym-based training and the National Water Sports Centre for water drills.

Big thing are planned: “We hope to begin regular early evening shows to entertain residents,” president Kip Walford said.

THE innovative Prom by Mode Architectural has a skillion roof line and a coastal facade that looks and feels as fresh as a sea breeze. Perfect as a holiday home or permanent dwelling, the Prom offers buyers the choice of four facades and 20 different floor plans.

The first facade makes stunning use of brick on the double garage, with an eye-catching central pillar that juts through the roof line and the external walls. The second facade uses modern lightweight materials in place of brick offering an altogether different feel, one that fits perfectly with coastal living. Mode Architectural principal Chris Petty says the lightweight building material used in the Mode Architectural range offers many advantages including a shorter construction time and “near zero” environmental impact, as well as three square metres in extra floor space on the same building footprint. Mode Architectural is a family run business with Chris – a builder himself with over twenty years’ experience – joined by wife, Julie who is on the administrative side of the business, and son Aaron, who is a site supervisor. Based in the Melbourne’s south east, Mode is the sister company of Romeo Homes, which specialises in Federation-style period homes. But no matter which style of home you choose, the Mode team is with you every step of the way to ensure a stress-free journey toward your dream house.

‘Weak biolinks’ to be challenged in court GREEN Wedges Coalition is challenging the federal Environment Department’s decision to allow significant urban expansion in Melbourne’s southeast without adequate protection of the iconic southern brown bandicoot.

The coalition, represented by Environmental Justice Australia (formerly Environment Defenders Office), will go to the Federal Court in late June seeking to overturn federal approval of a state government plan to allow development in an expanded Urban Growth Boundary.

The Napthine Coalition government approved housing developments on land near Royal Botanic Gardens

Cranbourne last year but removed promised wildlife corridors, or biolinks, after complaints from developers, in particular the Property Council of Australia, about the strategy’s costs.

Last March the state government removed habitat corridors but reinstated them after pressure from scientists, conservationists and bureaucrats.

One biolink was meant to run from the botanic gardens south to Western Port’s Quail Island, where until recently there was a viable population of bandicoots after red fox and feral cat removal in recent years. The second was to connect the botanic gardens with bandicoot-rich Koo Wee

Rup swamp and surrounds. But Green Wedges Coalition says the reinstated corridors are weak.

The draft Sub-Regional Species Strategy for the Southern Brown Bandicoot contained 200-metre wide corridors but this was cut to 80 metres wide, 30 metres of bush with 25-metre fire breaks on each side.

Now the only corridors in the plan are powerline easements and creeklines, insufficient to allow bandicoots to travel safely.

The weaker corridor plan was approved last year by Senator Simon Birmingham, then Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment, after Environment Minister Greg Hunt ex-

cused himself from making the decision, claiming he had a history with the issue and is MP for the area where the last bandicoots live.

Rosemary West of Green Wedges Coalition said if Senator Birmingham’s decision was allowed to go unchallenged, “the southern brown bandicoot could become extinct in the southeast”.

“This is poor planning that will lead to the loss of green space, and potentially the loss of some of our dearly loved endangered native species such as the bandicoot, growling

grass frog and rare orchids.”

New station promised... again LABOR has pledged to build a train station at Southland by 2017, a year later than promised by the former Coalition government before last November’s state election.

A new Southland train station proved to be a problematic promise by the former government after the Coalition said the station would be built ahead of the 2010 state election only to fail to start construction by the time voters went to the polls last year.

Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said Labor’s plan for the train station will include toilets, unlike the former Coalition government’s $21 million plan.

“It’s currently 250 steps to the nearest toilet and we want this station to be well used and don’t want the lack of basic amenities to be a barrier to use,” he said.

“I encourage people in the City of Kingston to get involved in the upcoming consultation, so the design of Southland reflects the views of our community.”

Public Transport Victoria will hold a series of public consultation sessions. Public feedback will be sought until mid-April and the Southland train station plans will be finalised in May. The project under Labor will also cost $21 million.

Public transport minister Jacinta Allan said construction is expected to begin late this year and the new station, to be used by up to 4000 passengers per day on the Frankston line, will open in 2017.

“We will consult closely with local residents and the community about the design of the new station,” she said.

Storm front

SUNDAY evening saw Kingston hit by the wild storm which swept across Melbourne and south east suburbs.

Chelsea SES Unit members were out and about after receiving calls from about 9pm onwards.

Crews attended 15 incidents to help residents from Carrum to Mentone up until midnight.

A new car was crushed by a falling tree in Mentone train station’s car park (left).

Several trees were brought down in the sudden, sharp storm.

A large tree blocked Ivan Avenue in Edithvale (above) at the intersection of Edithvale Rd. No injuries were reported.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Thin khaki line in need of recruits

Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE annual balance sheet and financial statement of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings is published this week on our fourth page. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held at Brookes’ rooms, Chelsea, on Friday next for the purpose of forming an association of wholesale milk suppliers and also to discuss matters of interest to farmers generally. *** IN order to raise funds for the Belgian Relief Fund Mrs Bay, of Frankston, has donated a guinea doll to be drawn for. The membership to be one penny.

The doll is now in Mrs Hay’s fancy shop window, and anyone can become a member by depositing a penny in the box set apart for that purpose. *** ALL shopkeepers are notified by advertisement in another column that they are required to register their shops with the Chief Inspector of Factories on or before 14th March next, under a penalty of £10. It is not intended to give shop keepers any notice other than such advertisement as the one now appearing. *** MR Geo. Davis notifies by advertisement that he has taken over the business lately carried on by Mr A Patterson, of Frankston as a timber merchant, and is prepared to supply everything required in building and house renovating, and also has a good stock of general ironmongery to which he invites inspection.

*** A CONCERT in aid of the organ and choir fund, was held in the Methodist Church, Frankston, on Monday 22nd February.

The programme consisted of songs, recitations, and several anthems by the choir.

Each item was successfully given and appreciated by the audience. The latter being very much smaller than the object deserved.

Mr Dawborne, in the unavoidable absence of the Rev Jackson, acted as chairman, and came in for his share of thanks with all those who had so willingly and successfully assisted.

The singing of the National Anthem brought the evening to a close. *** SOMERVILLE Methodist Sunday School. A “record” was the opinion of the superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School regarding the anniversary service held on February 21st and 22nd.

On Sunday the Rev J R. Butler of Mornington delighted the congregation with his instructive addresses.

The children were specially interested. Their singing was bright and pleasing, and a marked feature of the services.

A full church greeted the efforts of the scholars at the entertainment on Monday.

The anthems “Hosanna born King” and “The Flag of Britain” were sung vigorously and well.

Misses Nellie and Dorothy Reed, and Florrie Vines sang solos. The last

named had her song illustrated by a number of sleepy little girls clad in their nightgowns.

Kindergarten songs were sung by the little ones, with Harry Reed as soloist.

Recitations by Selma Ohrberg, Ruby and Hazel Twyford, Celia Roberts, Nellie Unthank, Gladys Mentiplay, and Jack Reed, were all given clearly and in good style.

A dialogue rendered by 7 senior girls and a male quartette completed the programme.

The Rev R. Jackson presented the prizes, the principal of which was won

by Florrie Vines and Harold Westaway. Mr Barber, the superintendent, spoke of the success of Florrie Vines and Ruby Twyford in the Sunday School examination held throughout Victoria and of the return of the work done in the Sabbath School.

A very cheerful report was read by the secretary, Mr Overton. It showed that the attendance was good, finance very satisfactory, with special reference to the kindergarten branch of the work.

The Sunday School receipts were £23, and a credit balance of nearly £7 remained. *** SOMERVILLE Social Club Concert. A packed house greeted Mrs Duncan Puckle and her Musical Comedy Company, last Saturday night.

It was a bright and original programme, everyone acquitted themselves well, and were duly rewarded by frequent encores and appreciative

rounds of applause from the enthusiastic audience.

After a well played overture by Mrs S. S. Gault, the company sang ‘God save the King’, followed by ‘Click Clack’, a lively plantation part song.

The parts were well blended, and soloists gave full humour to their lines. Mr Geo Reed then sang ‘The Blue Dragoons’ in fine vigorous style and was loudly applauded.

‘Entente Cordiale’, by Miss L. Barber, was sweetly sung, and the illustration of the words very nicely acted

by Miss E. Hawken, (French girl), and Mr Meldrum (British soldier), which so pleased the audience that an encore was demanded.

Mr S S Gault sang ‘Bantry Bay’ splendidly and the attendant chorus went with a swing and was much appreciated.

A sweetly pretty lullaby sung by Mrs Geo Reed, suited her beautiful voice to perfection. The public were pleased to hear Mrs Reed again after her absence from the concert platform.

During the evening Mr W Martin, in a happy complimentary speech proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs Puckle for the most successful and uncommon entertainment she had thought out, the whole of the items being chosen by her, and the costumes and scenes being originated by the same hard-working lady.

The audience responded by singing ‘For she’s a jolly good fellow’ and giving three hearty cheers for Mrs Puckle. *** THE Thin Khaki Line. An officer of

the Army Service Corps writes: You know, reading the home papers I could almost wish that a horde of these gentry could descend on old England’s shores.

I don’t think anything but that will ever arouse them to the awfulness of the thing that the thin (very, very thin in some places) khaki line in the trenches out here is fighting hard to keep from them; and that very thin line is doing each day something that has never been equalled even by the thin red line of by-gone days.

I am not patting myself on the back for my work lies behind the trenches, and I take off my hat to every mother’s son that is there.

I should have thought that the recruits to the new Army would have exceeded the second million by now, and yet they don’t seem to have got the first completed yet.

If they could only take the youth of England on a personally conducted tour along our lines here, so that they could realise what we are up against, I think they’d join in a body but, failing that, the best way to buck them up would be a hundred thousand Germans landing in England.

I don’t suppose they’d get very far; still they would bring home to the smug armchair brigade as nothing else ever will something at least of the awful way in which Belgium and part of France have suffered.

Those who are out here are doing miracles.

‘AT LAST’ VIKA BULL COMES TO THE PENINSULA

By Melissa Walsh

LIFE has come full circle for Vika Bull who grew up listening to the late, great Etta James, and now returns to the soul sister’s songs she studied 30 years ago.

Following a sell-out season at the Sydney Opera House and major theatres, At Last: The Etta James Story is returning to the stage on 27 March at the Frankston Arts Centre, for one night only.

Starring the powerhouse talent of Vika Bull, one of Australia’s most respected, powerful soul singers, At Last has garnered standing ovations and rave reviews throughout its Australian tour.

Vika Bull has sung alongside some of Australia’s most iconic voices, but it is in At Last, her first solo headline show, Vika showcases the true depth and range of her soulful, gutsy voice, as she belts out the repertoire of one of the world’s most powerful female singers.

“It was actually hard to decide whether to do it when they first asked me. I originally said no because she is my favourite singer and I thought if I didn’t do it properly I would get crucified,” she says with a laugh. “I grew up listening to Etta James and studying her voice to sing like her so it was all the more important for me to do a good job.”

After some serious soul searching, Vika says she knew it would be a great opportunity, and after two years on the show she hasn’t looked back.

“It has been a bit of a challenge for me but a wonderful experience. The show started exactly a year after Etta James passed away in February 2013, and is a real tribute to her.

She is such an amazing singer and most people only know her for At Last, but she has such a huge repertoire,” says Vika, who puts her heart and soul into telling the telling the story of Etta’s turbulent life.

“During the show I sing a lot of Etta’s most beloved songs including Tell Mama and Something’s Got A Hold On Me, but there are very low points in her life, and we take the audience through an emotional journey,” says the singer.

“The great thing about her is she was a survivor. She talks about her life as a roller coaster and if she had to do it all over again, she wouldn’t change a thing,” says Vika, who is embracing the chance to be a singer and a storyteller.

“I believe one of the reasons she had such a magnificent voice was

PAGE 24

because of her life experience.”

Described as a show of raw emotion, punctuated by an intimate telling of Etta’s tumultuous life, Vika guides us through a two-hour narrative concert of the 57 year career of the woman who has been recognized as bridging the gap between rhythm and blues, rock and roll and pop.

For Vika Bull, whose career continues to take her to amazing places, the journey is still going.

“Singing has taken me to some really amazing places and I have met wonderful people,” says Vika, who has been busy touring with Paul Kelly and The Merri Soul Sessions.

“The Etta show is completely different from anything I have ever done though. Compared to a tour like this, the whole theatre world is completely different. I like it because it’s a new kind of discipline.”

Vika has already had a lifetime of adventures, from singing with the Black Sorrows to performing for the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela, but this down-to-earth songstress finds memorable moments in the simplest things. “Every gig you have great times, and meet interesting people. I even had a great time in Canberra when I went to a couple of exhibitions and saw Sidney Nolan paintings which were a highlight.”

For Vika, being on the road is not all sex, drugs and rock and roll. In fact, she explains, it is quite a subdued life.

“Because I am using my voice all the time, I have to rest it when I can so you have to sleep, drink lots of water, warm and cool down.

And I don’t drink alcohol anymore because that’s really bad for your throat.”

As for advice for would-be singers, Vika says it is most important to remain passionate about what you’re doing and also have a thick skin.

“You have to be committed to singing because you have a love of it. There are many times when you make no money. You have to have a thick skin because there are times when you are flavour of the month, and times when you are not,” says the mum of a 17 year old.

“My daughter plays bass in a band, and we’ve told her she can do whatever she wants but it is a commitment.”

For Vika the decision to be a singer happened when she was 5, having grown up listening to a lot of country

music through to Bill Haley, Mahalia Jackson, Elvis and gospel.

“We grew up in Doncaster and my parents often got Linda and me to sing at church dinner dances. We were surrounded by music and it was common for the Tongans to go to church a few times a week.

Afterwards people would come back and sit around playing guitars and singing songs,” says Vika, who was born to a Tongan mother and Australian father. “I just knew it

As with all great artists, the learning still continues for Vika as she takes the show into its second year.

performance. “One thing I know for sure is we are always respectful of Etta when we tell her story. She was an incredible singer who lived the blues and it is an honour to be able to pay tribute to her in this way.”

“I’ve had to learn to speak to an audience and have had a lot of help with actors coming in and giving hints on how to connect and tell a story,” says Vika who admits to still feeling nervous before a

was what I wanted to do and I have always remained passionate about it.”

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Slippers: The enchanted footwear of destiny

By Stuart McCullough IT appeared without warning. On the first floor balcony adjacent to my office it sat; black, immobile and staring through the glass. It hadn’t been there the night before and the mere fact of its presence was irrefutable proof that something had happened, the details of which I was not aware. Whether that event was tragic or comic or the result of inadvertence was unclear. All I could see was the end result. Somewhere between my leaving and returning, a slipper had landed on my balcony without apology or explanation.

What could this possibly mean?

The plain, confronting truth is that a slipper has no business whatsoever turning up without an invitation. Is it a warning? From a cursory viewing of The Godfather, I know having a fish arrive in the post is a clear sign that all is not well, but I doubt Luca Brasi or anyone else ever ‘sleeps with the slippers’. Perhaps this is just the start.

Maybe further items of clothing or other accoutrements will materialize when I least expect them. I’m hoping one of them will be the Myki card I misplaced last week. But maybe the slipper didn’t arrive so much as it was left behind.

The most infamous case of ‘abandoned slipper syndrome’ concerns Cinderella. Could it be that one of the most famous heroines of children’s literature had been hanging around outside my office? It’s unlikely. There are, I concede, some key points that distinguished these circumstances from those of the fairy tales. For start-

ers, this slipper was not made of glass.

In fact, I very much doubt that Grosby make a glass slipper. If, indeed, this item belonged to Cinderella, I surmised that she’d really let herself go in recent years. No one, it seems, is immune to this economy. Not even a fairy tale princess. Sadly, there’s no way I could take this any further.

Trawling the streets looking for some-

one whose foot fits the slipper did not appeal. And unlike a glass slipper, this one would probably fit anyone.

Maybe the hand of destiny is at work. Fate has seen fit to intervene just as it did when it gifted King Arthur his sword, Excalibur. Could this piece of abandoned footwear be my Excalibur?

Is a mere slipper the weapon that will help me slay opposing armies and rule

all England? If those opposing armies are, in fact, spiders or other insects, then yes. Otherwise, it’s unlikely.

There are other questions, also.

Foremost among them is whether someone wearing slippers was standing on my balcony. It’s a good three metres to the ground. It would be an amazing thing if someone had managed to get up there and a more amazing thing still if they managed to get down again and only lost a slipper.

Which led me to conclude that the item was thrown onto my balcony.

On purpose. Is there any crueler prank than to deprive someone of their shoes? To unshod the shod, to render someone half barefoot is an action far too severe for peacetime. It’s hard to imagine a crime worthy of such a cruel and unusual punishment. There’s certainly no chance of appeal.

It’s been sitting there for weeks.

Staring in, occasionally changing position as a result of the wind, it is the slipper that never sleeps. Sadly, I’m reluctant to throw it out because the moment I do, some dude will show up on the doorstep; one slipper short of a pair and asking for help. I will feel guilty forever. Nor do I want to bring it inside. That, I feel, would be a drastic invasion of my privacy. In fact, it would feel as if the slipper had won.

Unwilling to bring it in from the elements and unable to bring myself to put it out of its misery by throwing it away, it remains on my balcony until whatever act of black magic responsible for putting it there in the first place deigns to take it away again.

To the extent that you’ve ever wondered whether having a mysterious black slipper appear on your balcony is bad luck, then wonder no more. I was waiting for what I call a ‘VIPC’, or ‘very important phone call’. I had a guest in my office, waiting for the phone to ring. Having stepped out to get two glasses of water, I returned only to find that the door would not open; meaning I was locked out and someone else was locked in. This would not be a problem if the door had a key. Instead, the handle and the bolt were no longer on speaking terms.

This, it seemed, was no mere accident.

Clearly, the slipper was to blame.

I was not about to be defeated by a lone piece of footwear. No way. At the bottom of the door is a grate. Whether it’s there for appearances or to ensure a flow of oxygen in all circumstances mattered little. When a colleague appeared with a hammer and chisel – items we always keep beside the tea bags and the little packets of sugar – we used it to prise open the grate.

Before you could say ‘dignity’, I was down on my stomach and shimmying my way through a small hole as though escaping from Stalag 17. Clearly, it’s got to go. Tomorrow I will dispose of the magical slipper and rid myself of its evil curse forever. Begone comfortable footwear of destiny! Begone! Or, alternatively, if there’s a guy missing a slipper, please feel free to collect it from my office. Although you might want to hurry. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pies let the Dogs out PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association reigning Provincial premiers, Mornington was knocked out of the top four on Saturday by Crib Point.

Needing to win to keep their fourth position and take part in the finals, the Dogs needed just one wicket to pick up the vital victory.

However, the fighting Magpies dug deep and scored the necessary runs in the final over to win by just two runs.

There were emotional scenes at the conclusion of the match – elation and despair from the opposing teams.

However, despite winning the game, Crib Point still missed out on a finals spot by percentage.

Baxter needed to win against Long Island in the final game and hope the Magpies did the rest against Mornington. That’s exactly what played out

and Baxter replaced Mornington in the top four.

All of the interest was always going to be at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.

In front of a bigger crowd than normal, Mornington won the toss and batted first.

They lost some early wickets and scoring was made difficult after some tight bowling from the Magpies.

Luke Popov remained unbeaten on 34 and Brad McDonald hit 30, while Michael Heib blasted a quick 20 at the end.

Despite Matt Foon snaring four wickets, the Dogs couldn’t stop Crib Point from hitting the target.

Matty Blake got the Pies going with 50 and it was Waide Symes and Glenn Barclay at the end who hung about long enough to get their team over the lines.

Baxter simply had to beat Long Island and they managed to do it pretty comfortably.

Batting first, Baxter made 6/174, skipper Daniel Warwick hitting 73 and Dale Irving 36. Ben Smith was also solid batting at six and making a valuable 29.

Scott Phillips was the pick of the Islander’s bowlers with 3/30.

The Islanders looked the goods in the chase at 2/62, however, two quick wickets and it was all down hill from there. Only a wag from the tale at the end between Chris Hocking (13) and Greg Lamb (17) gave their score some respectability.

Long Island finished on 9/146 from 40 overs.

In only his fourth First XI game this season, Brad Holton snared 5/26 from eight overs.

Peninsula Old Boys won a thriller against Langwarrin.

The Kangas batted first and made 184, skipper Mark Cooper top scoring with 64, Jake D’Atri helping himself to 36 and Nathan Volpe hitting 31.

Adam Jones was the pick of the Old Boys bowlers with four wickets.

Langwarrin had their chances to win the game, however, they couldn’t prevent the Old Boys getting the required runs with four wickets and three balls to spare.

Heatherhill won its last game of the season but it wasn’t enough to avoid relegation against Moorooduc.

Despite the win, the Hills will play in District cricket next season, which will allow them an opportunity to rebuild with a young group.

The Hills batted first and made 9/144, Jake Theobald top scoring with 33 and Brent Maxwell scoring 27.

The visitors then bowled out the Ducs for 119 in 24.3 overs. Jason Hinde was the star with the ball for the Hills, picking up 7/30 off 7.3 overs.

Mt Eliza saved its biggest embarassment to the final game of the year, humiliated by Rye. One wouldn’t have thought that a

disastrous season could get any worse, however it did for the Mounties.

They were bowled out for 88 in 34.2 overs against the Demons, Aaron Fiddes claiming 3/10 from six overs.

The Demons then got the runs with six wickets and 10 overs to spare.

Sorrento will head into the finals with plenty of confidence after beating Pines.

Pines batted first and made 131 in 40 overs with Harley Parker and Harley Peace-Sterling each getting 33.

Anthony Blackwell claimed 3/15 for the Sorras.

The Sorras were 3/34 at one stage in the match before Nick Jewell hit an unbeaten 41 and together with Leigh Poholke (20) got their side across the line.

Nick Wilcox was the best of the bowlers with 3/29 while Luke Bartlett took 2/14 in his first match.

Top four win way to finals DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED Hill will host Main Ridge in one MPCA District Semi Final while Somerville and Seaford will go head to head in the other after all four sides won in the final home and away game on Saturday.

While five teams were vying for two top four positions heading into the final game, the equation was pretty simple for those under pressure, Seaford and Main Ridge.

Their fate was in their own hands and a victory was enough to ensure they made the top bracket.

And win they did, Seaford travelling to Boneo and getting the job done there while Main Ridge pumped Seaford Tigers.

Carrum, Mt Martha and Baden Powell were the other three sides with an opportunity to play finals should the cards fall their way.

The Lions beat Delacombe Park and Mt Martha beat Flinders, so they were ready to pounce should the others have coughed things up.

Baden Powell had the unenviable task of playing Red Hill and as expected, fought hard but fell short.

At the other end of the scale, Hastings lost their match against Somerville and will be relegated to Sub District grade next season.

Delacombe Park will be very happy that the season is finally over after a horrible season.

Coming off flag favouritism last season, the Parkers had a season they’d rather forget. On Saturday against Carrum, they were great with the ball and restricted the Lions to 9/110 off 40 overs. Chris Brittain was back and snared 3/25 while his brother Ben snagged 2/12 from seven overs.

Josh Dent top scored for the Lions with 25.

When it came time to chase down the 111 for victory, the Parkers couldn’t

offer any resistance, rolled for 86 in 29 overs. Jon Guthrie top scored with 26.

Jackson Fry was the pick of the Lions’ bowlers with 4/23.

Baden Powell put the pressure on the ladder leaders Red Hill and set them a target of 185 for victory after scoring 6/184 in their 40 overs. Rhys Elmi starred again for his side with an unbeaten 93.

However, the Hillmen really did cruise to the line, getting the target with five balls to spare.

Simon Dart top scored with 68 while Matt Merifield was among the runs again with 39. He finished with 349 runs for the season. His skipper Dart scored 641.

Boneo set Seaford 138 for victory and they did it with three overs to spare (5/141).

Nick Simpendorfer top scored for Seaford with 29.

Somerville was made to work hard for its victory against Hastings.

The Eagles batted first and made 138 from its 40 overs. Leigh Lowry top scored with 46, while there were 31 extras.

Liam Bradshaw and Mitchell Floyd snared 3/19 and 3/30 respectively.

In the chase, the Blues looked a chance with Tim Birch (45) and Aaron Vinson (20) together at the crease but when they went, the Blues lost 5/2.

Matty Roach (5/19) and Aaron Kaddatz were on fire for the Eagles (4/32).

Main Ridge smashed Seaford Tigers by almost 80 runs.

The Ridge batted first and made 7/149, Brad Rossborough top scoring with 26.

The Tigers were then bowled out for just 72 in 30.3 overs. Jason Albress collected 5/16 off 8.3 overs.

An epic conclusion to the subbie season SUB-DISTRICT

Sudoku and crossword solutions

By IT Gully IT was an epic conclusion to the MPCA Sub District cricket season on Saturday.

There were six teams all vying for the top four positions on the ladder and a finals berth.

Any of the teams that were in the top four could have lost their position depending on other results.

As it turned out, only one team (Carrum Downs) that was in the four before the final game, lost its place.

Pearcedale replaced the Cougars in the top bracket.

The ladder, including points and the all important percentage, looked like this before the final home and away game: Tootgarook: 96 & 1.562 Rosebud: 96 & 1.338 Carrum D: 88 & 1.130 YCW: 88 & 1.105 84 & 1.400 Pearcedale: Balnarring: 76 & 1.277 This is the way it looked on Saturday evening after the final results were in.

Rosebud: 108 & 1.400 YCW: 100 & 1.139 Pearcedale: 96 & 1.474 Tootgarook: 96 & 1.451 88 & 1.341 Balnarring: Carrum D: 88 & 1.055 This means Rosebud will host Tootgarook in an all local final while Frankston YCW and Pearcedale will go toe to toe in the other semi.

Carrum Downs lost their place in the top four after being thrashed by Rosebud.

The master that is Darren Kerr may have missed most of the season, however, his unbeaten 81 in a total score of 7/129 was match winning.

Stuart Swift snared 5/32 for the Cougars.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone New 4 March 2015

Bayside

Sunday 8th March

You’re in for a treat if the breeze is up, as festival organisers are hosting a team of internationally acclaimed kite flying designers from both mainland Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand.

The majority of invited guests are famous for flying huge inflatable Maxi kites. Giant kites are so large they take a string of runner kites and a team of people to get them in the air and some pretty strong cabling attached to a car or two to keep them anchored to the ground. Flying high in the sky, against a backdrop of blue and with the Rosebud foreshore below, they never fail to impress.

Also see Cathedral Window Delta kites, being shown by one of Australia’s most eminent kite makers, Robert Brasington, who lives in Tasmania.

His unique designs are influenced by modern Gothic art and architecture. Although smaller in size, these diamond kites are a beauty to watch and spectators should check them out within the big arena.

Kids Interactive Zone: Enjoy the Big Yellow Circus tent, the Blacksnake wildlife and reptile tent and Coralia the mermaid at her mini sea pool, with her marine and mollusc education program.

Blacksnake Productions: Enter the Blacksnake display space, beside the Circus Tent, and enjoy an interactive wildlife display which allows the audience to touch and hold the hand tamed birds, marsupials and reptiles! The energetic presenters make this wildlife experience entertaining, exciting and educational. Lots of photo opportunities.

Coralia the Mermaid: Meet Coralia at her mini sea pool and enjoy her interactive fun education on marine life. 12pm, 1pm and 2pm.

Charity Partner Red Kite is the Australian cancer charity which provides essential support for the families of children and young people, up to the age of 24, with cancer. Services include counselling, practical and financial assistance, educational support and bereavement support.

At the festival please purchase a $2 ‘Kite Festival’ badge, available from the information tent, in support of this great cause.
