COMMUTERS travelling on the Frankston line faced frustrating service cancellations and delays during the early morning weekday peak hours of 7-9am last week.

Several scheduled train services were cancelled at short notice and customers were quick to vent their anger at delays on social media.

Metro Trains spokeswoman Sammie Black said an incident involving a person being struck by a train late on Monday af-ternoon “had a knock on effect” through-out the week.

“We understand it inconveniences cus-tomers and our aim is to ensure everyone gets to their destination while delaying the smallest number possible,” Ms Black said.

Delays on the Frankston line came in the same week Metro Trains was forced to ban V/Line trains from running on metro-politan and suburban tracks after a VLoc-ity train, V/Line’s newest model, failed to trigger boom gates as it approached a Dandenong level crossing.

That boom gates failure follows several such incidents on the Stony Point line last year. Metro Trains installed axle counters along the line to trigger boom gates in all cases where trains approach level cross-ing intersections.

Wear and tear on V/Line trains’ wheels, since they travel greater distances than their metro counterparts, are being

blamed for failure to trigger boom gates.Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta

Allan said axle counters will now be in-stalled at 29 level crossings across Mel-bourne’s railway network at a cost of $23 million.

Public Transport Victoria advised The Times that the Stony Point line axle coun-ters cost $5.8 million to install last year. Metro confi rmed there have been no boom gate incidents since July when the axle counters have been in place on the Stony Point line.

Premier Daniel Andrews blamed V/Line for the cancellation of train services across the network last week citing a “fail-ure to adequately prepare for increased regional services – including a failure to plan for additional track-greasing – which has led to an escalated rate of wearing on the wheels of VLocity carriages”.

“This lack of preparation has led to the cancellation of train services across the network – an unacceptable and avoidable situation that has frustrated thousands of regional commuters,” the Premier said in a statement released last Wednesday.

Mr Andrews said all travel on V/Line services will be free until Sunday 31 Jan-uary “as a small acknowledgement of the frustration recent service disruptions have caused”.

The Labor state government has pledged to remove 50 level crossings, in-cluding the separation of road and rail at eleven crossings along the Frankston line, in a push to ease congestion..

TWO high-profi le politicians may face off for Liberal Party preselection as can-didate for the Dunkley electorate in this year’s federal election.

Donna Bauer, the former Liberal state MP for Carrum, and Cr Paul Peulich, a former mayor of Kingston, could be set to contest the party nomination for the seat of Dunkley which includes the sub-urbs Frankston, Langwarrin, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Seaford and Skye.

Labor’s Sonya Kilkenny narrowly won the Carrum contest in late 2014’s state election by a margin of just over 500 votes ahead of Ms Bauer. An elec-torate boundaries shift in 2013 after an Electoral Boundaries Commission re-view made Carrum one of the most mar-

ginal seats in Victoria.Ms Bauer was previously a King-

ston councillor representing the South Ward, including Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Chelsea, Chelsea Heights and Mordialloc, all suburbs lost from the Carrum electorate after the boundary shift. She battled bowel cancer in the lead-up to the 2014 election.

Cr Paul Peulich has reportedly also thrown his hat into the ring for preselec-tion but he declined to confi rm whether he is defi nitely in the running before publication.

Cr Peulich’s mother is Inga Peulich, the long-time Liberal state Upper House MP for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, and he was Kingston mayor in 2014.

Ms Bauer remained tight-lipped about her preselection chances when contact-ed by The Times, citing Liberal Party

preselection rules against conducting preselection campaigns in public.

Party members will decide next month who will represent the Liberal Party at the federal election in Dunkley.

The Liberal vacancy in Dunkley is a result of the political retirement of former small business minister Bruce Billson. Mr Billson announced late last year he would be stepping down as an MP at the next election weeks after be-ing dropped from cabinet by incoming Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Other candidates believed to be cir-cling the nomination include Peter An-gelico, election campaign manager for Sean Armistead, who was narrowly lost out to Labor Frankston MP Paul Ed-brooke at the 2014 state election, and Matt Berry, a former staffer for contro-versial MP Geoff Shaw.

Political ambitions: Kingston councillor Paul Peulich, above left, with Liberal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and Donna Bauer, right, may face off to become the Liberal Party candidate for Dunkley.

A BLITZ on anti-social behaviour in Frankston’s city centre led by Frankston Council will attempt to clean up the streets with offenders facing fi nes of up to $2000 if they do the wrong thing.

A team of fi ve council offi cers, with the help of police, will target public nuisance and illegal behav-iour in central Frankston and along the foreshore from the end of Janu-ary.

“We will be systematically target-ing activities such as: smoking in restricted areas, public consumption of alcohol, walking dogs in restricted areas and littering,” Mayor Cr James

Dooley said in a statement released by council.

“Other anti-social behaviour such as violence will also be targeted by our offi cers, with the support of the police.”

Cr Dooley said council wants to create “a safe and inclusive environ-ment for our entire community”.

“These blitzes are being introduced to help support this aim. Anyone who blatantly ignores signs and restric-tions will face hefty penalties,” he said.

Frankston Police Senior Sergeant Justin Watson says people should re-port anti-social behaviour to police and offi cers will be targeting trouble “hot spots” alongside regular patrols.

“We will respond appropriately so

Neil [email protected]

that people can enjoy shopping in Frankston and enjoy the foreshore ar-eas like they should be able to,” Snr Sgt Watson said.

“Any anti-social behaviour will be dealt with promptly and appropri-ately.”

Police offi cers have the power to enforce council local laws.

There were 163 fi nes issued by po-lice last year including 89 fi nes for the possession or consumption of alcohol and 74 for a failure to comply with a council sign such as a no-smoking zone or a designated area where dogs are banned.

DEMOLITION of the derelict Am-bassador Hotel function centre has fi nally begun. Contractors have moved in to knock down the building that sold for $2.24 million at a mort-gagee auction in September last year (‘ The Ambassador sells... again’, The Times 14/9/15).

Former site owner Joanna Kordos was the latest in a line of develop-ers seeking to build apartments at the 325 Nepean Highway address before lender the Jadig Group stepped in to enforce a mortgagee sale.

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley welcomed the start of demolition works at the Ambassador Hotel, long considered a highly-visible eyesore.

“This is the fi rst step towards the rejuvenation of this prime Frankston location,” Cr Dooley said.

“The current planning permit ex-pired on 19 January. However, the owner has six months to extend the former planning application at coun-cil’s discretion.

“Offi cers will contact the owner within the next few days to discuss whether there is any interest in pur-suing this opportunity or if they would like any advice regarding the process of submitting a new planning application for this important site.”

It is understood that an as yet un-named property development con-sortium plans to build an apartment complex at the site.

Ms Kordos had planned to build 37 ‘luxury’ apartments before the prop-erty was repossessed.

THE opening of a new nature reserve at Frankston Reservoir has been hailed “a win for the local community” by the state government.The 90-hectare Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve was offi cially opened up to the public for bushwalking and picnicking last Thursday (21 January) by Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville.

Access to the site has been restricted since 1920 to protect the reserve’s water quality and signifi cant fl ora and fauna species and plants.

“I’m pleased for Frankston residents and all nature lovers that we have successfully opened to the public the Frankston Nature Conserva-tion Reserve,” Ms Neville said.

“The reserve has six ecological vegetation classes of state signifi cance, 215 indigenous fl ora species and over 100 fauna species includ-ing the nationally threatened growling grass frog and state signifi cant Musk Duck. So it’s great we have been able to experience this environment in a responsible way.”

A reserve management plan will ensure the impacts of public access via Jeremey Way are assessed to open up the possibility of more public access points becoming available in future.

The reserve will remain fenced for safety reasons and will be open to the public Thurs-day-Sunday each week between 9am and 5pm. Rangers will be on site. The reserve will initially be closed Monday-Wednesday for

private tours and maintenance and continued improvements.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said: “The Frankston community has wanted access to the reserve and I’m proud to be able to help make it happen.

“All parties who have worked toward public access should be proud that this former reser-voir site, which is has highly signifi cant bay-side vegetation and fauna, can now be enjoyed by us all.”

Volunteers including the Friends of Frankston Reservoir worked with government agencies to ensure access was granted and bushwalking trails and a 24-space carpark were built at the nature reserve.

Forensic zoologist Hans Brunner, a Frankston resident, said brush tail and ring tail possums, swamp rats, sugar gliders and echidnas are just some of the wildlife. He hopes marsupial mice and southern brown bandicoots can be reintro-duced to the conservation reserve “if fences are maintained and fox control is kept up”.

“I think the public have the right to passively enjoy the reserve but I’m glad dog walking, bike riding and fi shing is prohibited so it is really a conservation reserve which is there for enjoyment and educational purposes where you can learn and get closest to how the bush was before white man arrived.”

Melbourne Water passed management of the reserve to Parks Victoria in 2009 and it became the Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve in 2011.

A community committee of management will now oversee the reserve’s upkeep.

Water safety breaks cultural barriersWater safety breaks cultural barriersCHILDREN from non-English-speaking backgrounds statistically have a higher risk of drowning, and are more at risk in the water, than others in the community.

So, a series of learn-to-swim programs for Sudanese youngsters in Kingston this week are especially relevant at this time of year.

The Pines Aquatic Centre in Frankston North is one of 130 venues hosting VICSWIM’s Summer Kidz program, in partnership with migrant support agency The New Hope Foundation.

They aim to teach 22 Sudanese youngsters how to experience the joys of swimming confi dently and safely – something their born-and-bred Aussie school mates usually take for granted.

Aquatics and Recreation Victoria CEO Anthony McI-ntosh said VICSWIM programs assisted children from

multicultural backgrounds “to develop the confi dence to fully participate in Australian life”.

“The need for programs like this is as critical as ever in reducing fatal and non-fatal drowning incidences in Victoria,” he said.

“We’re excited that these Sudanese families recognise the importance of gaining swimming and water safety skills. Not many Sudanese families will have grown up around water and may not be familiar with the dangers.

“Ideally, they will gain a lot of confi dence from the program, put their parents at ease, and show off to their friends. It can really help these families fully participate in aquatic recreation, which is a really important part of Australian culture and lifestyle.”

A CLOSE watch is being kept on power boats and jet skis to protect seals and other animals in Port Phillip.

An increase in patrols by the Depart-ment of Environment, Land, Water and Planning along the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula coastline fol-lows rare visit to the region from an Antarctic crab-eater seal and the return of Australian fur seal Arcto to Droma-na.

The crab-eater seal was only 11th of its kind spotted in Victoria since 1856 and the fi rst since 1999, while the bull seal Arcto was back at Dromana for the third year running.

With peak boating season in full swing, the DELWP Port Phillip Region is using its own jet skis and patrol boat

to protect the bay’s dolphins, seals and other marine life.

“We’re now ramping up our patrols all along the peninsula coastline where we expect hundreds of jet skiers and boaties to be present during the Aus-tralia Day holiday period,” DELWP compliance offi cer Abby Smith said.

Fines for driving too close to marine animals ranged from $228 (on the spot) or $3033 if taken to court.

Ms Smith said vessels should cut their speed to fi ve knots or less if near a dolphin or whale “and drive away from the animal”.

High impact vessels like jet skis must remain 300 metres away from whales and dolphins. Recreational boats must remain 100m away from dolphins

and 200m from whales, except if ap-proached.

“We’re partnering with other or-ganisations like the Australian Marine Mammal Conservation Foundation to provide a visible presence and take ac-tion when necessary to ensure people are doing the right thing by the bay’s wildlife.

“Having so many recreational users on the water will disturb the behavioural patterns of dolphins and other precious species, so we ask people to behave re-sponsibly and minimise any interactions with the bay’s wildlife.”

For more information on the regula-tions, visit delwp.vic.gov.au or call 136 186. To report sick, injured or distressed marine wildlife call 0447 158 676.

Stabbing in SeafordStabbing in SeafordA SEAFORD man was stabbed 19 times in a frenzied attack, 4.30am, Wednesday.

The man, 36, was at a Claude St property with the occupant and the oc-cupant’s female partner when the alleged attack occurred.

Detective Senior Constable Ashley Eames, of Frankston CIU, said it ap-peared the trio had met that day and drank at Frankston and Seaford hotels before returning to the property late in the evening.

The carousing continued in the drive-way until the early hours when the oc-cupant went to bed, but became agitated and went outside, allegedly attacking the victim with a kitchen knife. The man sustained two deep stab wounds and 17 slash wounds before staggering off and knocking on three doors in the street, urging neighbours to call an ambulance.

Police attended and arrested the of-fender and his partner, both 33. They will allege the woman washed the knife and hid it in her clothing when police arrived. The pair has been charged with intentionally causing serious injury and bailed for a fi ling hearing at a later date.

Detective Eames said another man had been arrested in Claude St for being drunk and disorderly an hour before the incident, possibly from the same group.

New charges over New charges over Sudanese riotSudanese riotA SECOND Frankston man has been charged with intentionally causing serious injury following the Sudanese basketball Summer Slam tournament at Frankston Basketball Stadium, 18-20 December.

The event was billed as an important cultural event for the Australian-Suda-nese community “uniting them through basketball”.

After the fi nal at the Bardia Av courts, a riot occurred at Kananook station, with up to 100 men involved. Many are said to be Sudanese from the western suburbs who drove to Seaford to “stamp their mark” on rivals here.

After the brawl, a 23-year-old man was taken to Frankston Hospital in a critical condition with multiple stab wounds to his stomach. He was released on 26 December and is recov-ering at home.

Police later found weapons, includ-ing baseball bats, machetes and samurai swords scattered around the area – even on nearby house roofs.

They arrested 12 men, aged 19-32, but all were released next day pending further investigation.

The man, 25, was bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday for a fi ling hearing. This follows the charging of a 27-year-old Frankston man, 22 December, with intentionally causing serious injury, recklessly causing injury, and affray. “Investigations are continuing and the other offenders will be charged on summons,” Detective Senior Consta-ble Ashley Eames said.

MISSING Persons Squad detectives on Wednesday found a car they were searching for as part of their investiga-tion into the disappearance of 17 year old Cayleb Hough.

The Chelsea Heights teenager was last seen near The Crescent, Highett, in the early hours of Sunday 20 December.

Cayleb was seen travelling in a blue 2003 Ford Falcon XR6 sedan with reg-istration SOG 812.

Police found the car in a car park at a Southbank entertainment complex, 1pm, Saturday. The vehicle is being fo-rensically tested.

Anyone who may have seen the car between 6am, 20 December, and 5.30pm, 21 December, is asked to call police.

They believe the car, which has a black bumper bar, may have been trav-elling in the Melbourne metropolitan area and south eastern suburbs over the two days.

Serious concerns are held for Cayleb as it is unusual for him to go missing for

this length of time. He is described as about 180cm tall

with a medium build, dark brown hair and fair skin. It is not known what he was wearing when he disappeared.

He is known to frequent the Bon-beach, Cheltenham and Heatherton ar-eas.

Cayleb has not used his phone or accessed his bank accounts since he was last seen.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confi dential crime report to crimestoppersvic.vic.gov.au

Storage units hit – againStorage units hit – againTHIEVES ransacked 22 private storage units at a Rutherford Rd, Seaford, premises in two visits – just a week after another storage facility on the same road was robbed.

In the earlier raids, on 12-14 January, two men are shown on CCTV cutting through wire fencing to access nine units at Minders Self Storage, before stealing tools and motorbikes valued at $7000. The men appear to have seen the bikes on the fi rst raid, marking an ‘X’ outside the unit, before returning two nights later with a trailer to steal them.

In two other apparently linked early morning raids, 15 and 19 January, possibly the same men broke into a nearby storage facility to steal musical equipment, metal detectors and other items over two nights. The men again broke padlocks on the units, fi nding many empty but with items worth stealing in the others.

Detective Senior Constable Gavin Hiku, of Frankston CIU, said he had advised the storage businesses’ owners on security to help deter any possible future thefts. He was also visiting second-hand dealers seeking information on sellers.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000, or Frankston CIU, 9784 5555.

ABOUT 200 jobs will be lost in Morn-ington and Carrum Downs with clo-sure of the Masters “home improve-ment” stores.

The demise of the Woolworths-owned Masters chain comes as no sur-prise, considering its much-publicised failure to gain market share.

Each store employs about 100 staff - full-time, part-time and casual.

Woolworth’s media team on Tues-day said the Masters stores would “re-main open as normal for some months to come”.

“What we’ve announced is we in-tend to exit the business. How we exit, which will either be through the sale process or a wind-up process, has yet to be decided and an outcome on this

is some time away.“If Woolworths is unable to sell all

Preferably, the stores would be sold as going concerns – or perhaps taken over by supermarket giants Costco or the German-owned Lidl – and remain employers of local staff.

Lidl, rated the fourth-largest retailer in the world, with $128 billion in an-nual sales, has reportedly been in dis-cussions with logistics providers and has applied for a wide range of home brand trademarks for a presence in Australia.

THE launching of the Volunteer Marine Rescue’s latest vessel, Darbyshire III, at Mornington on Sunday last week, is a boost to water safety and a tragic reminder of how the service came about.

The Noosa Cat 3000, a nine-metre, state-of-the-art vessel, was offi cially launched by Sue Darby-shire, the widow of the man who gave the boat its name.

Paul Darbyshire drowned within sight of the shore in 1980, prompting a public push for better safety measures for bay users.

So moved and upset were Mornington police – two were among those watching the drama from the clifftop - that they organised a public meeting at Mornington Racecourse in June of that year with 120 residents attending.

“We can never forget why our rescue service was formed, and do everything possible to ensure nobody else loses their life in the bays,” VMR president Tim Warner said.

Darbyshire III was built in Queensland to the strictest of survey standards and VMR’s require-ments. This means it wasn’t cheap: the cost to buy and equip it was $363,000 – made possible with 80 per cent coming from the state government’s Boating Safety and Facilities Program.

The boat joins VMR’s fl eet of three Noosa Cats servicing Port Phillip and Western Port bays and

out into Bass Strait.Under the direction of the Victorian Water Po-

lice, VMR Mornington has carried out thousands of rescues.

Over the past four years, VMR Mornington and Hastings carried out 14 per cent of the state’s ma-rine rescues.

“That’s 700 times our pagers have been activat-ed. We do not have the data to substantiate the pre-vious 32 years, but if we use the same formula, we have assisted more than 7000 boaters in distress in our 36-year history,” Mr Warner said.

“Typically, a rescue took us an average of over an hour to locate a vessel. Now, with most ves-sels having a GPS unit, we are generally alongside within 10-15 minutes of launching.”

In 2006 through a series of events, VMR took over Westernport Marine Rescue, and now has an-other modern vessel, the Alwyn Tamo, and a crew in Hastings to service Western Port Bay and Bass Strait,” Mr Warner said

“They are often called on to conduct searches along with water police out into Bass Strait in sometimes extremes of weather. VMR’s running costs exceed $70,000 a year, with each rescue cost-ing around $400, excluding asset replacement and man hours.”

VMR Mornington and Hastings promote safe boating and the wearing of life-jackets.

CHLOE Hart went surfi ng with her group Mon-day morning, while Jacob Plummer spent time at Sorrento, swimming with dolphins.

The Frankston pair was among 50 teenag-ers, aged 15-17, attending the diabetes camp at Somers last week. They also enjoyed 10-pin bowling, movie and trivia nights, and a disco at the supervised camp with its 27-strong team of volunteers, diabetes nurse educators, onsite doc-tor and dietitians.

“It’s my fi rst time at camp and I love it,” Chloe said. “All the people have been really kind and open to talk to. It’s great to be around people who understand diabetes and what it’s like to live with it.”

Jacob said: “It was my mum’s idea and she signed me up for camp. First, I wasn’t too happy about it, but now I am glad she encouraged me to go. It is a great experience, so much fun.”

Jacob admitted living with diabetes “can be hard at times”.

Since his diagnosis three years ago, he has had

to follow a strict routine. He counts the carbo-hydrates of everything he eats, regularly checks his blood glucose levels and injects insulin four times a day. This hormone, which his pancreas fails to produce, is vital to turning glucose into energy and distributing it to every cell in his body.

While Jacob can never take a vacation from his type 1 diabetes, he says he enjoyed spend-ing time with the other teenagers from all over Victoria who understand what his everyday life is like.

“Diabetes Victoria camps for children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes are a shining light of the organisation,” Diabetes Victoria CEO Craig Bennett said.

“The young people learn to live well with their chronic condition in a fun environment.”

Around 2900 Victorians under 18 live with type 1 diabetes. The condition is twice as com-mon as it was 20 years ago. There is no cure.

A WOMAN stuck on a cliff at the for-mer Moorooduc quarry, Mt Eliza Re-gional Park, Tuesday morning, may be lucky to escape a fi ne for breaching “No dogs allowed” signs.

A sign clearly displayed near the fall site states: “Environmentally sensitive area: No dogs, no bikes – penalties ap-ply”.

The woman and her German short-haired pointer, Mailey, had to be winched to safety after slipping 15 me-tres down the quarry face about 10am. They were on a ledge for about 90 min-utes.

A friend alerted rescue crews who as-sembled up top and prepared to bring her back to the top. They included CFA crews from Mt Eliza, Dandenong and Frankston and Frankston SES.

A high-angle rescue team from Dan-denong and CFA specialist rescue crews pulled the dog up fi rst using a K9 har-ness, which goes over the head to pre-vent biting, and then the woman, aged in her mid-20s.

“Our crew arrived shortly after 10am to fi nd a woman in her 20s trapped and inaccessible,” Brodie White of Mt Eliza CFA said.

“She appeared to have gone to the aid of her dog after it jumped a fence and became stuck on steep terrain.”

Mr White said a portable radio was sent down to the women so she could communicate with her rescuers.

The rescue was completed at 11.30am and the woman was given the all clear by paramedics. Steve Taylor

THE future of the estimated $25 million Vic-torian Maritime Centre at Hastings now rests on harnessing “people power”.

A petition calling for government support and a public meeting planned for either Febru-ary or March are both are seen as crucial to en-listing widespread support from the commu-nity, particularly in its hometown of Hastings.

However, the two vessels at the heart of the project – the 2030 tonne submarine Otama and former Port Phillip Sea Pilots ship Wyu-na - languish at anchor, both unable to fi nd a permanent berth.

The Otama has been at Crib Point for 12 years and needs $50,000 spent on its moor-ings by May while the Wyuna is at Bell Bay, Tasmania, after Melbourne City Council said it was unable to provide a berth at Docklands.

The Western Port Oberon Association which plans to use both vessels as the main drawcards and income generators of maritime centre is running low on funds after spending money in the erroneous belief that it would receive $1 million from the state govern-ment, no matter which party won the Novem-ber 2015 election. The money was promised by Liberal Hastings MP Neale Burgess but, unfortunately for the Otama association, his commitment was not part of the Labor Party platform. Mr Burgess was re-elected but his party was not.

Federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt re-

mains a staunch supporter of the maritime centre and this year acknowledged the dedi-cation of some of the association’s members by presenting them with his own “Flinders Awards”.

Meanwhile the association’s two vessels remain tied up by bureaucractic and fi nancial problems.

The Otama was in trouble from the start of its arrival in late April 2003 when the asso-ciation’s plans to bring it ashore at Hastings were not supported by government depart-ments which controlled the foreshore.

The association’s president Max Bryant believes the lack of a berth for the Wyuna may have more to do with the government’s intended sale of the Port of Melbourne than space around Melbourne’s wharves.

The woes of the association are clearly stat-ed by Mr Bryant in its December 2015 Sub-Scriber newsletter.

Mr Bryant begins his end of year report by explaining its lateness because of a declining membership (about 130) and “we do not have enough people to tackle all the tasks”.

He says membership fees ($50 a family in-cluding joining fee and then $25 a year) will “help preserve our maritime history”.

“The biggest low of the year was our so called million dollar grant prior to the last election. All were ecstatic when we learned we had successfully secured this grant which was supposedly not subject to the election. On the pretence of receiving the grant funds were expended only to discover after the election the funds did not exist,” Mr Bryant

stated.Using fi gures from a 2004 “Macroplan” by

a now former Mornington Peninsula Shire executive, Mr Bryant said “the community has lost $63.7 million dollars in revenue thus far and no one appears to be accountable”.

That 12-year-old report - which was not commissioned by the shire - estimated the maritime centre would employ 40 people, have 50,000 visitors a year and have an in-come of $4.5 million.

Mr Bryant told The News last Monday week that the shire is “100 per cent behind the project, there’s no doubt about that”.

“We’ve now got to convince the politicians and get the people behind us,” he said.

He said “a lot of people, some very impor-tant people, are coming to our aid”.

“I hope we’ll have a breakthrough in the near future,” Mr Bryant said.

He said the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) was “aboard” and backing the pro-ject.

The Otama is proposed to be lifted out of the water on the outer seawall of the Hastings marina while the Wyuna would have a wet berth alongside.

Visitors would access both vessels through the maritime centre, with the Wyuna being used as a shore-based school camp.

When advocating for the maritime centre at Hastings, Mr Bryant cites the success of the $24 million West Australian Maritime Museum which opened in December 2002. He says there are now maritime museums at Freemantle, Geraldton and Albany.

EVERY coffee, tea and sandwich prepared at Frankston Hospital’s Pink Ladies’ kiosk raises money for life-saving equipment.

It may not sound much, but these fundraising efforts by the small group of volunteers wearing pink have equipped the largest hybrid surgical theatre in Victoria with the latest digital equipment.

The Pink Ladies have donated more than $400,000 towards a new digital subtraction angiography [DSA] machine for the new hybrid vascular theatre, which opened last week.

Peninsula Health surgeon Wai-Leng Chue, who heads the vascular surgery unit, gave Pink Ladies president Pauline Ellerby and fellow pinkies a sneak peek at the new ma-

chine, Thursday. “The DSA technol-ogy enables our team to look closely at patient’s veins so we can identify and treat life and limb threatening conditions more safely,” he said.

“The support of the Pink Ladies and the wider community helps to deliver the services needed for the future.

“Vascular disease affects one-in-fi ve Australians, and is likely to increase with our ageing population and a rise in chronic health issues.”

Ms Ellerby said the combined efforts of volunteers, fundraisers, staff and patients will help Frankston Hospital continue to grow. “All 81 of us joined the Pinkies to make a difference to patients and staff at Frankston Hospital,” she said.

“Serving tea, coffee and tasty

treats, fl ower arranging and newspa-per delivery helps make their lives a little bit brighter.”

The surgical theatre is the fi nal stage in the $81 million redevel-opment of Frankston Hospital. It includes a new emergency depart-ment, new wards and a purpose-built outpatients’ area which opened last year.

THE two vessels integral to the success of Victorian Maritime Centre being built at Hastings are in trouble.

The Otama, an Oberon class submarine, is anchored off Crib Point and needs new moor-ing cables by May if it is to survive winter storms. Cost of the cables is put at $50,000.

The other vessel owned by the Western Port Oberon Association, the Wyuna, was built in 1953 and donated to the association in 2013.

Although extensively refi tted and under-going sea trials she remains in Tasmania because there is no berth available in Mel-bourne.

Association president Mx Bryant said the Wyuna is a classic 20th century design and spent 26 years with the Port Phillip Sea Pilots before being used as a training ship for the Australian Maritime College in Launceston until 2004.

Several other plans for the use of the Wyuna fell through until it was given to the association which wants to use it as a school camp.

In his end of year report Mr Bryant sees the latest instalment in the Wyuna’s history as a “sorry tale … laying at anchor unattended in Bell Bay where Tasports dumped her”.

Mr Bryant said the Wyuna was partly restored and then “ran beautifully at over 14 knots downriver to Beauty Point … {before] completing sea trails”.

“During this period the berth in Melbourne at Docklands disappeared due to proposed wharf renovations being brought forward by Melbourne City Council. We ended up stranded; thankfully Tasports came to our aid and allowed us to stay alongside at Inspec-tion Head. The Tasports management at that time thankfully were aware of our fi nancial situation and after initially issuing a berth notice of a fee of $442 a day agreed to waive

the fee and we pay for power consumption only.

“The very day the harbourmaster retired the original notice was reinstated without any warning and back dated. We had budgeted for the cost of the power not the berthing fee. Tasports also had wharf renovations being carried out at the berth so we had a limited tenure at Inspection Head.”

Months were then spent unsuccessfully looking for a berth at Melbourne. The same result came from inquiries at “ports from Portland to Eden”.

Tasports was then under pressure to move the Wyuna or face penalties for holding up contracted port works.

It fi nally seemed a berth was available at the old Hydro wharf in bell Bay, only to see the opportunity disappear when the pilot decided it was unsuitable.

“We had inspected the wharf with the rep-resentative of the owners and deemed it suit-able [but] apparently we were not qualifi ed to make that determination,” Mr Bryant stated.

The pilots eventually called to say Wyuna would be sailing within hours and told Mr Bryant to organise a crew.

“How they expected me to muster a volun-teer crew in such short notice I have no idea,” he said.

“When this was relayed to the pilots they said they would use a tug to move her and place the vessel on anchor in the bay. I made it quite clear we were not in a position to not only fund a tug but did not have the infra-structure set up to man a vessel on anchor, this was also relayed to the harbourmaster - still they went ahead.

“Wyuna was unceremoniously dragged away from the wharf by a tug and taken out in to the bay and dropped on anchor where she rests.”

Marine history all at sea

All tied up: The Wyuna, top, has been refi tted and made seaworthy to be brought from Tasmania to Victoria but there is no berth available. The submarine Otama, left, is already in Western Port but unable to be brought ashore at Hastings because of a mixture of red tape, planning rules and lack of money. The two vessels are the planned centrepiece of the Victorian Maritime Centre.

THREE of Peninsula Health’s 44 new doctors have chosen to undertake their medical intern-ships on their home turf.

Mornington Peninsula residents Timothy McMenamin, Luke Beaumont and Jonathan Carney have all chosen to complete their intern year there.

Dr McMenamin, who worked at Peninsula Health as a student, said he was happy to be back. “I really enjoyed working at Peninsula Health as a student. It has a great atmosphere and I get to work with great people,” he said.

Dr Beaumont agreed. “I’ve lived on the Morn-ington Peninsula my whole life and I love the lifestyle,” he said.

Executive director of medical services, Dr

Fergus Kerr, is not surprised by the comments. “We’re known for having a very strong training culture here at Peninsula Health,” he said. “Our senior teams invest heavily in the training of our interns and student doctors.

“Our diverse range of hospital and rehabilita-tion services is also very attractive for interns. They know they will be able to gain experience across a wider range of specialties and can make a more informed decision about where they would like to go in their career.”

Over the next 12 months the interns will rotate between Frankston and Rosebud hospitals, The Mornington Centre and the Golf Links Road Rehabilitation Centre.

Doctors choose to stay homeDoctors choose to stay homeDoctor in the house: Timothy McMenamin, Luke Beaumont and Jonathan Carney are young doctors keen to hone their skills on the peninsula.

On Australia Day this year our principal Chris Watt will celebrate 40 years in the Real Estate profession.

After serving 3 years in the Army as a surveyor, he commenced his career as a sales representative on 26th January 1976 with a company called Finn & Kempe Pty Ltd in their office at Emerald in the Dandenong Ranges in the days when the only equipment in the office was a big black telephone with a round dial on every desk, a manual Remington typewriter which the receptionist used to type up the correspondence (keeping a “carbon copy” in the file) and a pad of “Sale notes” - also with a piece of carbon paper behind the front page to make copies.

His first employer, was Gordon “Ned or Neddles” Phin, who started his career in the 1950’s as a land salesman in the Glen Waverley - Mt Waverley area with Wilmore and Randell. George Wilmore and Reg. Randall revolutionised the land sales business in the early 20th Century by employing a huge sales team to sell land door to door on Vendor Terms and later advertised on television using the announcer Hal Todd to advertise land for sale in Country Victoria mostly on Graham Kennedys In Melbourne Tonight (IMT) show on Channel 9.

After a short time at Emerald he moved to the big smoke in the City of Knox and worked in a team of 6 sales staff (all men in those days) at Peter Evans Real Estate in the then brand new Mountain Gate Shopping Centre on the corner of Ferntree Gully Road and Burwood Highway in Ferntree Gully.

Chris obtained a Certificate of Real Estate Management in 1983 and after two years of additional study in sales, marketing, psychology and conveyancing practice was awarded a Certificate of Business Studies in Real Estate from Prahran TAFE obtaining his full estate agents license on 28th August 1984.

He then moved to Crib Point to take up the role of Manager of the then Crowders Real Estate office in Hastings before opening the business known today as Century 21 Home Port on 1st September 1986 at its present location on Frankston-Flinders Road (there were no shops available for rent on High Street at the time).

Over the years Chris has personally sold over 2,000 properties of all types in the Hastings, Bittern, Crib Point, and Tyabb townships by both private treaty and Public Auction. He has been an active Auctioneer and Member of the REIV for over 30 years and served as a member of the legislation, town planning and forms committee of the Institute. Elected as a councillor for the Hastings ward of the Shire of Hastings in the early 1990’s he served as the Council representative on the Regional Planning body and was chairman of the Regional Library Service. He also represented the council on the first Port of Hastings Land Use Structure Plan study. The knowledge and contacts made at this time has given Chris a thorough understanding of Town Planning, Subdivision and Local Government processes.

More recently Chris represented the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry on the Port Land Use and Transport Structure Plan (PLUTS) carried out by Maunsel Consulting and is currently a member of the Chambers management committee. These days Chris specialises in Commercial and Industrial property sales and leasing and leaves most of the residential business to his sales team headed by his brother Andrew Watt, who is also a fully licensed estate agent who has been in the industry for over 25 years. Chris is still as passionate about his job today as he was 40 years ago and has no plans to retire.

COFFEE has become such an integral part of our lives that many people can’t do without it.

But the infl ux of cafes has put a lot of pressure on specialty coffee roast-ers, as an increasing number of con-sumers insist on specialty products.

“The biggest issue has been fi nding highly trained roasters or baristas ca-pable of meeting expectations,” Sam Keck, who runs Commonfolk Coffee Company, a wholesale coffee roaster and cafe in Mornington said.

“Bizarrely, there is still no roasting or barista apprenticeship.”

The absence of any formal training in the coffee arts was brought home hard to Leigh Williams who, at 16, dropped out of high school to pursue his passion for coffee.

On fi nding out that there was no fi eld of study – course or training – he called Commonfolk, in Progress St, to ask whether the business could develop an internship for him.

“This got us thinking and, together with my director of coffee, Ryan Toleman, we decided to put together a roasting internship coupled with paid work that would basically train Leigh to become a coffee professional,” Mr Keck said.

The internship is structured so that part of Leigh’s work involves learn-ing practical skills, such as roasting and coffee preparation, and also training in green bean evaluation, importing, quality control, account

management and business. “After completing the internship

we expect Leigh to have all the skills required to work as a coffee profes-sional, whether it’s roasting, work-ing as a barista, or owning his own

establishment,” Mr Keck said. “To legitimise the internship he will

also aim to successfully complete his Q-Grader certifi cate – the coffee equivalent of a sommelier certifi cate.”

Leigh describes coffee-making as an

art form. “People appreciate the work that

goes into making a cup,” Leigh said.Now part of a “big and growing

industry”, he works two days a week with Mr Toleman, learning how to

roast, blend and taste coffee, and three days at the counter making cof-fee for customers, all the while learn-ing all about texture, milk and extrac-tion – what percentage (by weight) of the coffee grounds are dissolved in the water, or how much of the coffee in the brewer ends up in the cup.

“I’m still learning the basics. But I am going to go right into it. I am really interested,” said Leigh, who began in the coffee trade at a McDon-ald’s cafe bar.

“That was good training and I learned how to make coffee. Then I thought I would like to go further and contacted Commonfolk.”

Mr Keck said he wanted enlarge the training program through the charity Give to Live.

The program would focus on pro-viding 16-18 year olds with specialty coffee training so they can get jobs in other small businesses.

“It will provide them with training material they can take with them, real time experience on the Com-monfolk bar, and a think tank of other young coffee professionals with who they can interact. The program will be sponsored by small business, al-though we are exploring government grants as we speak,” Mr Keck said.

“There isn’t anybody else look-ing to provide this sort of training, or looking to run a program that can teach young people about the coffee industry.”

Meanwhile, Leigh’s making coffee and loving it. His favourite brew: “Espresso, because it offers more fl avours.”

MORNINGTON’S Mikaela Lawrence has her sights set on joining the top ranks of race-win-ning jockeys.

Already working for Mornington-based trainer Sam Pritchard-Gordon (P-G Racing), Lawrence has now joined Racing Victoria’s apprentice jockey training program.

“Mikaela, 21, is the oldest of four students selected for the program’s fi rst year class, and has fought hard to earn her position in the high performance program, having not come from a horsey background,” Racing Victoria’s media and communications offi cer Daniel Miles said.

In announcing Lawrence’s induction into the elite jockey training program, the P-G Racing website described the 49 kilogram apprentice as “a great example of someone breaking in to a very tough industry from a non-racing back-ground”.

Lawrence began her racing career as a stable hand to Peter Moody and was soon promoted to riding track work.

But in August 2014 she broke her back, only returning to the saddle about a year ago at P-G Racing’s Kingscote Stables.

Since her return Lawrence has ridden some of the stable’s gallops and a few jump outs, includ-ing a win at Balnarring.

Lawrence was one of seven apprentice jock-eys hopeful of beginning their journey to Group 1 glory inducted into this year’s jockey training program.

She is the oldest of four riders selected to join

the fi rst-year apprentice class, with three other jockeys joining the third and fourth year classes after starting their riding careers interstate.

Lawrence joins Jackie Elliot, Emily Azzopardi and Liam Riordan in the fi rst year apprentice class.

Athlete development and industry careers ad-visor Melissa Weatherley said the apprentices would receive “extensive coaching to develop the skills, relationships and experience necessary to succeed at the highest level”.

“These young riders will not only hone their race riding skills, learn how to live, eat and train as elite sports people, but will also be equipped with the requisite support to develop a success-ful career once they decide to retire from profes-sional riding,” Weatherley said.

Twenty three of the program’s 50 apprentices are women, continuing a trend of increased par-ticipation over the past three years since a record intake of female apprentices in 2014.

Weatherley said the select group underwent a stringent talent identifi cation process to gain en-try into the four-year high performance program which offers specialist learning in areas such as race riding, performance analysis, sports science and sports medicine, as well as media, fi nance and business skills.

The aspiring jockeys will be coached by retired jockey Matthew Pumpa, former Victorian trainer Matthew Hyland and jockey wellbeing and safety offi cer, Ron Hall.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Bush and grass fire claims homesBush and grass fire claims homesCompiled by Melissa Walsh

MR Jas Croskell, a very old resident of Frankston, departed this life last week at the ripe age of 84 years. An extended notice will appear in our next issue.

***THE “Wattles” Club will give one of their popular socials and dances in the Frankston Mechanics this (Saturday) evening, the proceeds be-ing devoted to the fund for sick and wounded soldiers.

***ON Monday next (A.N.A.Day) a grand fete will be held at Tyabb in aid of the Red Cross funds. The Hast-ings Band will enliven proceedings during the day, and the ladies have made special arrangements to have luncheon ready at 12 o’clock.

***THE Dromana Sports Club intend holding their annual sports meeting on Wednesday, 16th February, for which they have issued a good pro-gramme, which appears in another column. Entries for all the events close with the hon. sec (Mr J. C. Griffi th, junr.,) on Tuesday, 8th Feb-ruary.

***MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a clearing sale of farm stock and implements, on account of Mr J. E. Boag, who has enlisted, on Fri-day next, at half-past 1 sharp, on the premises, three quarters of a mile from Dromana pier.

***

MISS L. Wheeler, L L.C.M., 1st class honors, book prizes, etc., the talent-ed pianist and organist from Ben-digo, will be commencing practice in Frankston, according to particu-lars in our advertising columns. We learn that all pupils prepared by Miss Wheeler have credibly passed their examinations, and therefore welcome the addition to Frankston of these educational facilities.

***THE War Council of Victoria ap-peal to all the citizens of the State to support the War Loan and thus play the part demanded of them to help to make victory certain. The loan is a safe and advantageous investment, which can only become insecure if the title to the whole of our National wealth fails through defeat. Every one should apply for some of the bonds. Applications may be made through and particulars of investment will be given by the Manager of the local branch of the State Savings Bank.

***THE last meeting for the present, of the small working party of the ladies of Langwarrin, organized by Mrs W. Williams, of “Rupertstan” was held on the 19th inst, at the Recreation Hall, Langwarrin, kindly lent for all those meetings by Mr Berry. At the conclusion, 57 bags were forwarded to the Lady Mayoress’s Patriotic League, making the satisfactory total of 179 forwarded to date.

***A bush and grass fi re broke out on the

east side of Frankston last Sunday, and rapidly spread to the railway near the reservoir. In its devastating track three houses were destroyed and it approached so close to the quarters of the Langwarrin station that Mr McNalley’s residence was only saved by the timely aid of a company of soldiers under Lieut. McFaul. Great credit is due to this offi cer and Pio-neer Sergeant Samson, for their en-ergy and foresight in preventing the spread of the fl ames.

***THE State War Councils throughout Australia are making a strong appeal to the citizens of the Commonwealth to support and support liberally to the full extent of their means, the second War Loan. Although £10,000,000 has been asked for, more is wanted to prosecute the war so far as Australia is concerned. Copies of the appeal have been circulated to all post offi ce agencies of the Commonwealth Bank and to branches of the State Savings Banks, and the public are invited to obtain one early and to consider seriously the position with which we are faced and to respond to the best of their ability.

***IT will be seen in our advertising columns that an amended notice ap-pears of a poll to be held in the three ridings of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings to determine the question as to whether consent shall be given to the Frankston Gas Company to sup-ply the Shire with electric light and

power. The Council earnestly requests ev-ery ratepayer in favor of the instal-lation of the electric light to record his or her vote on the occasion. As no postal voting is allowed, it is possible that a few malcontents might defeat the proposal, if those who desire it were apathetic and did not take the trouble to personally vote. It may be useful to again point out that the es-tablishment of electric lighting will cost the ratepayer absolutely noth-ing—that no ratepayer need use elec-tricity unless he or she desires to do so, and that gas will continue to be supplied as desired for domestic or other purposes.

***WEDDING Bells. Holy Trinity Church, Hastings was the scene of a quiet, but pretty wedding, on Wednes-day, 19th inst, when Mr Will. Grego-ry, son of Mr and Mrs A. H. Gregory, of Frankston, and Miss Alice Bowell, second daughter of Mr and Mrs Bow-ell, of Hastings, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Rev F. E. Watts performed the cer-emony. The church had been deco-rated very prettily for the occasion and the bride looked beautiful as she entered, on the arm of her father, who gave her away. The Wedding March was played by Miss Parkes. The bride’s gown was a creation of white silk and lace, with wreath and hand-some veil, she wore a rope of pearls and carried a wonderfully pretty bou-quet of white fl owers.

***

THE following letter was recently re-ceived from Signaller J. Andrews by his mother:— Just a few lines to let you know we are all back in our little dug-outs. It seems strange now after being in tents. I think all the chaps are like myself—all fi t and well again for another “go.” We are looking for-ward for our mail this time, the last one went down, which I suppose you know. We had a very heavy snow storm. It was a beautiful sight to see all the hills covered with snow. It was not a bit cold while it was snowing, but, my word when it was thawing, it was dreadfully cold, and my feet have been dead ever since, they have no life in them yet. The next time you write could you send me a pocket camera and some spools. I could get you some good snaps, just to give you a little idea of what some of our chaps had to go through. This snow storm has been the earliest, as the winter does not start till January. Could you get me a nice warm cardigan jacket and a good pair of gloves ? I am working in an observation station and cannot get very much exercise. I think I will get a good job out of this as our Lieut. asked me to study up my signalling, as the new brigades are so very short of signalling offi cers. That would not be too bad, and, my word ! I can tell you, I am trying my best to please him.

***From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 January, 1916


By Stuart McCulloughCALL it fate. Or kismet. But whatever it is, it’s clear that the stars are well and truly aligned. Here you are, in need of players to fi eld a team. And here am I; with a spare pair of boots, shorts that leave little to the imagination and a whole lot of time on my hands. Destiny has brought us together. In anticipation of your call, I have com-menced an exacting regimen of physical training. I’ve done at least a dozen pushups, albeit not all at once and not whilst lying down (the fl oor needed a vacuum). I am now in the greatest shape in my life, which I think might be a squircle, and I am ready to make my debut as a professional footballer.

I was always destined to be a professional ath-lete. But more than just supreme skills, I bring something to the table other players simply can-not: life experience. This should be of consid-erable interest to your football club. For start-ers, unlike most new recruits, I will not have a ridiculous haircut. This is attributable both to old-fashioned common sense as well as a short-age of material. Nor will I decorate myself like a human colouring book as so many footballers do, looking like they’re on day release rather than the interchange bench. As for the risk of staying out late and doing something stupid at a night-club, rest assured – it’s hard to make a goose of yourself when you’re in bed by ten o’clock after binge-watching episodes of ‘The Wire’.

Monosyllabic press conferences will be a thing of the past. In fact, forget press conferences alto-gether. Instead, I’ll invite journalists over for a full-blown dinner party with cabana and barbe-cue shapes, cheese fondue and a fruit platter – the works. There will be no more grunting or glazing over in response to questions from the press as I expound at length. I will never, ever say that I’m taking things ‘one game at a time’, preferring in-stead to hand out copies of my fi ve year strategic plan to members of the assembled media. Yes sir, things are going to be different.

That’s not the only change I plan to make. I will not refer to my teammates as ‘the boys’. It’s a term that’s always made me feel uncom-fortable; suggesting, as it does, that many of our professional athletes are in a state of perpetual arrested development that sees them lumped with the emotional intelligence of a twelve year old. I realize that it’s supposed to make it sound as though the group is an indivisible entity, but who are we kidding? Football clubs are, like most workplaces, replete with petty jealousies and confl ict driven by the unauthorized taking of the last tub of yoghurt from the communal fridge.

These disputes are the reason ‘trade week’ was invented. It’s time for honesty. From now on, other players will be ‘workmates’ or, if strictly necessary, ‘colleagues’.

As a past player of the Tyabb Junior Football Club, you should be happy to have me. But if I really do need to list my achievements in or-der to get you over the line, so be it. At the 1984 Club Pie Night and Raffl e Draw, I was awarded ‘Best Dressed’. The following year I backed that up with a certifi cate for ‘Most Punctual’. Say what you will about the Brownlow, but it’s no substitute for turning up on time. For three years running, I got a small statuette describing me as the ‘most improved’ player. Assuming that I have continued that stunning trajectory, it boggles the mind to think about how good I must be by now.

I was a halfback fl anker. To this day, I hear people on the street describing me as a fl anker. That said, my hearing is not what it used to be and I’ll concede that these people may, in fact, be referring to me as something that simply sounds like ‘fl anker’. I am also an excellent tackler. Dur-ing an awkward growth spurt in the mid-eighties, I even perfected the art of tackling myself. The ball would be heading in my general direction and I would start running only to immediately fall over. It did wonders for my match stats.

If that doesn’t persuade you, consider this: Tyabb is just one town over from Hastings. And Hastings produced the greatest player ever to strap on the boots for your club, namely John Coleman. It would be a sentimental pick. Al-though I can’t claim to have kicked as many goals on the football fi eld a John Coleman, I have kicked many other goals in life more generally, including a killer reverse park opposite the super-market just last week.

But, fact is, I’m only writing this letter be-cause I’m starting to get concerned. I would have thought you’d have phoned by now. Essendon: it’s time to think way, way, way outside the box. Pick me to join your rag-tag bunch of underdogs. I am prepared to supply my own boots, socks, or-anges and have even come up with my own nick-name: the Exfoliater. I’m not sure what it means, but it sure sounds impressive. I realize you’ve got plenty on your mind and to expedite the process, I’ve also enclosed a sample to test at your con-venience. Careful with the lid, though, as I’m not sure it’s watertight. Please send through the dates and times for training sessions when you get a chance. If, despite this letter, you decide not to select me, please retain the sample as my gift to you.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE...


Music Arts Food

SOMEWHERE back in 1996, a stupid conversation took place between four young blokes in a dusty oil shed on the trucking yards of Port Melbourne’s Dallas Crane Transport that went something like, “so ya reckon we could do this for a living?”

Almost 20 years later, Dallas Crane have become a not only a lauded constituent of the Australian rock ‘n roll scene, but a trend-proof mainstay that continues to exhilarate audiences wherever they bloody well set foot!

Some used to call them, “Australia’s hardest working band,” playing their guts out to anyone who’d listen, in which most cases was a packed out pub anywhere around Australia. They gave everything every time you saw them; no microphone left un-scolded, no denim jacket left un-soaked and no audience left anything other than completely satisfi ed with what they had just witnessed for the last hour and a bit. Even You Am I’s Tim Rogers had them down as his favourite band, immortalising them in their song Who Put The Devil In You?

After some more-than-healthy Triple J support in the early part of the

millennium, the band were chased down by legendary Australian label Albert Productions (AC/DC, The Easybeats,) to come and add to their already killer legacy by laying down some choice cuts over two albums; one of their fi rst rock signings in many years.

Their fi rst offering, Dallas Crane /

Dallas Crane was so well received, it even had Australian Idol’s Mark Holden begrudgingly asking the question, ‘who the hell are these guys, and how are they getting triple ARIA Award nominations?’

A little time away from the scene after their Australian tour with The Who in 2009 meant not a lot of

activity for Dallas Crane over the last couple of years, but if their brand new long player Scoundrels is anything to go by, the Crane faithful can rest easy knowing that none of that original pent-up verve and vigor went missing in their brief sabbatical.

Recorded throughout 2014-2015

at Melbourne’s Hothouse Audio with Craig Harnath and engineering whiz-kid Jez Giddings, Scoundrels rounds up some of the band’s fi nest works to date with songs like The Sunnyside and Disillusioned proving just how gloriously majestic two guitars can be in front of a driving rhythm section.

The revitalised songwriting effort has yielded ten time-hardy gems on an extremely solid return-to-form release from the band. Dave Larkin’s Come To Light and The Good Times demonstrates the band is far from done with it’s penchant for the splendid epic, whilst guitarist/singer Pete Satchell adds his own gentler touch on the compelling and beautiful Lucky Me.

“Scoundrels” showcases a new level of sophistication in the band’s songwriting, not slowing in vitality or intrigue until the very last note. It’s become available to the wider public through the band’s own Nylon Sounds label.

Scoundrels tour will hit ‘Grand Live’ @ Grand Hotel Mornington on Friday 29 January. Tickets at www.grand.net.au or at the door. Call Grand Hotel Mornington on (03) 5975 2001 for more information.

DALLAS CRANE HEAD TO THE GRAND ON SCOUNDRELS TOUR

MICHALA BANAS SCREEN GEM By Andrea Louise Thomas

Michala Banas began her screen career as a toddler on a TV commercial in her native New Zealand. She was cast in her fi rst fi lm at fi ve. Her family moved to Australia when she was ten and she debuted on Australian TV at seventeen. Banas has played many roles, but perhaps her most memorable character is the one she is playing right now in Upper Middle Bogan. Amber Wheeler is an abrasive, foul-mouthed uberbogan and audiences love her.

Banas will be heading to the Mornington Peninsula in February as part of the celebrity judging panel for the Peninsula Short Film Festival. I caught up with her to chat about her career and her next role as PSFF judge.

MINT: What will you be looking for when judging?

BANAS: I just like to be entertained - whatever the genre. Sometimes people think they have to be really clever, but often it’s the simple fi lms that are the best and the strongest. For me it doesn’t have to be fancy, I just have to be engaged with the story. Story and human behaviour are the areas I’m most interested in. I am going to go with what touches me most.

MINT: What advantages do you think short fi lm has over feature fi lms?

BANAS: If you’re starting out or you’ve never made a fi lm before

it’s a really great place to start because you can do it yourself. You can make short fi lms on a smaller budget. Also, when you’re making bigger, more expensive fi lms, you

have to give over control of certain

creative ideas. Keeping it within

your creative control is important

for storytellers.

MINT: What are the qualities of a great fi lm?

BANAS: Story and writing are the keys to making anything good. Honesty, care, love and authenticity are also great.

MINT: How did you decide to become an actress?

BANAS: My father, John Banas, was an actor who became a director and ran a theatre when I was a child. He went into writing later. Of course that infl uenced me. I grew up in the industry. I started when I was very young. I just always loved performing. It’s the only thing I felt passionate about and still really feel passionate about which is pretty awesome after 30 odd years. It’s a fascinating job.

MINT: Let’s talk about Amber Wheeler…. Is this role the most fun you’ve had on screen?

BANAS: Yeah, I think so. We’re shooting our third season soon and I actually I can’t wait to do it and that’s completely honest. I love her. She’s so fun. She’s got such a big heart under all of that stuff. Robyn Butler’s writing is so amazing, so brilliant and well thought out. She’s made my job very easy. I have to celebrate that.

MINT: How do you channel the Australian bogan?

BANAS: I’m not that far away. We’ve all got it in us. I think Australians love this show because we’re all

a bit of both. We’ve all got the snobby part of us and then we have the part of us that wants to eat hot chips on the couch and swear like a truck driver. Amber is not a stretch for me to be honest. She just speaks her mind, which I really admire.

MINT: If you could create any kind of female character for TV, what would she be like?

BANAS: I just want to see more women in leading roles of varying ages in general. I love strong women. I think that’s pretty clear with Amber, but strong doesn’t mean you’re not vulnerable. There seems to be a lot stuff on fi lm that puts women in one category, not like in real life where we cross over into all the worlds of career, family and all that. I love it when the balance is right because it’s more truthful.

MINT: What would you like to try that you haven’t tried yet?

BANAS: I’d like to direct.

Come meet Banas at the Peninsula Short Film Festival on Saturday, February 6 at the Village Green, Rosebud. Event starts at 4 pm. Films screen at 7pm. Don’t miss Banas as the indomitable Amber Wheeler in Upper Middle Bogan starting soon on ABC, Thursday nights at 8:30.

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyCRIB Point are eight points clear in second place on the MPCA Provincial ladder after picking up an outright win against Baxter on Saturday.

The Magpies headed into the second day of the clash having already won the match after bowling out Baxter for 88 on day one.

Resuming at 7/179, the Pies added just 12 more runs before Baxter were back out to bat. Ricky Thompson top scored for the Magpies with 45, which included three fours and two sixes.

The second innings didn’t fare much better for Baxter. In fact, it was much, much worse.

The visitors lasted just 37.4 overs in the second innings and were rolled for just 53. Skipper Daniel Warwick

top scored with 20 and was one of only two Baxter batsmen to make it to double fi gures (Todd Quinn made 12).

Brad Davidson snared 4/14 from 12.4 overs, Jacob Cook claimed 3/24 to give him 9/67 for the match and Glenn Barclay helped himself to 2/7, handing him fi ve wickets for the match.

Sorrento kept its season alive with a dramatic one run win against Moorooduc.

Resuming at 0/4 and looking at 217 for victory, Sorrento picked up the required runs with less than 10 balls remaining and two wickets in hand.

However, by the end of the match, the Sorras were bowled out for the target of 217 heading into the 80th over.

Corey Harris (35) and Liam O’Connor (30) got the visitors away to a good start in the chase, however

they then lost 4/28 to be on the back foot.

Leigh Poholke made 20 and the returning AJ King, named RPP’s Player of the Day, hit a match winning 48 and took the score to 217.

Rob Parslow (10) and Ryan O’Connor (12) were important in the end also.

Moorooduc skipper Leigh lambert was the best of the bowlers with 4/61 off 25 overs, while Cameron Bailey claimed 3/38.

Mornington also kept its season alive with an outright victory against Rye.

The Doggies replied to Rye’s fi rst innings score of 65 with 132 runs without loss (declared) on day one.

Rye resumed on day two at 3/51. They were bowled out for 57.

Michael Heib picked up seven wickets for Mornington to give him

an amazing 13 wickets for the match.The Dogs are now one of fi ve teams

sitting on 56 points on the ladder. Fourth placed Sorrento is on 60 points.

Pines skipper Ricky Ramsdale celebrated his birthday in style on Saturday, taking 5/46 to help his side enjoy a convincing 150 run win against Langwarrin.

The Kangas started okay in the whopping 299 run chase with Simon McEvoy (23) and Matt Prosser (31) opening with 53.

However, it fell away quickly after that, Daniel Bray batting at nine getting the next highest score of 24.

Pat Jackson snared 2/32 off 19 overs for Pines.

Eivion Bowen dominated Mt Eliza on Saturday, taking 7/51 off 21 overs as Peninsula Old Boys recorded a 62 run win.

Keith Biggs top scored for the Mounties with 49 and Justin Grant hit 45, however, there was little to no support elsewhere.

Somerville maintained its position in the top four with a six run win against Long Island.

Chasing 172 for victory, the win was left up to one man – skipper Leigh Lowry.

Entering the fray at 2/6, Lowry proceeded to dominate the Long Island attack and hit an unbeaten 103. The next highest score was Justin Allsop with 21.

Long Island’s Scott Phillips took 2/61 and orchestrated two sensational run outs which, at that stage of the match, looked match winning.

Lowry was a one man show and brought victory to the Eagles.

Magpies clear in secondMagpies clear in second

DISTRICTBy IT GullyDELACOMBE Park failed in its attempt to pick up an outright victory over Seaford Tigers on Saturday in MPCA District cricket but is still a smoky to play fi nals.

The Parkers were on the verge of victory after the fi rst day’s play after scoring 175 and then having the Tigers in real trouble at 5/72 at the end of the day.

The Tigers made just fi ve more runs before being bowled out for 77. Shane Deal claimed 4/21 and Andrew Stapleton 3/23 for the Parkers.

Delacombe Park then made 99 in 35 overs with Rowan Charles top scoring with 24 before sending the Tigers back out for another hit. Jordan Watters claimed another three wickets to give him six for the match.

The Parkers looked on target for the outright when they had the Tigers 4/19, however, Matt Meagher (36) and Darren James (26) ensured they survived the day. The Tigers ended on 6/95.

Pearcedale has lit up the fi nals race with a three wicket victory over Baden Powell.

Chasing 186 for victory, the Panthers got the runs with three wickets and a handful of overs to spare.

Brad Trotter and Matt Cousland put on a 59 run opening stand, which is just what the Panthers were looking for.

Max Blackburn then brought his “A-game” yet again and his 66 in the middle order, together with Chris Dew’s 24, was enough to get the Panthers across the line and within 12 points of second place.

Sam Harrison was the pick of the Baden Powell bowlers with 3/33. After such a dominant season to this point, the loss certainly won’t be a bad thing for the Braves.

Carrum went within six runs of beating fi fth placed Seaford (205) on Saturday.

Hayden Moulton got the Lions away to a fl ier at the top of the order with 53 and Jake D’Atri (23), Ryan Dyer (24) and Lachy Dobson (23) then added some grunt in the middle order.

When Andy Johnson came out to bat at number 11 with a broken elbow, the Lions needed another 21 runs to win.

Johnson scored an unbeaten 16 but it wasn’t enough to get his side over the line. Rory Brown was the last wicket to fall with the score on 199.

Heatherhill remains in touch with the top four after a big win over Boneo.

The Hills made 185 in their fi rst innings before rolling Boneo for 111. The Hills then sent Boneo in once again, however, they survived an outright attempt and fi nished on 6/116.

Flinders was always up against it to score 304 to claim victory over Red Hill. They fell 65 runs short.

Andrew Power with 82 was the stand out for Flinders in the chase. Matt Grayson opened with 29, Tom Clements scored 24 and Dwayne Field 26.

Brent Martin and Andrew Mock were the keys in the win for the Hillmen, claiming 4/81 and 4/40 respectively.

Main Ridge successfully defended its 165 runs against Mt Martha.

Resuming at 1/9, Mt Martha was bowled out in the 80th over for just 130.

Mitch Darville top scored for the Reds with 31 while Brett Wilkinson scored 26.

Adam Bryant was the pick of the Main Ridge bowlers with fi ve wickets.

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyDROMANA maintained its domi-nance in MPCA Sub District cricket, picking up a solid 29 run win against Balnarring.

With its season on the line, Balnar-ring resumed on day two at 1/42, chas-ing 193 for victory. At that stage of the game, the pendulum was certainly swaying in favour of the Saints.

However, an early run out of Mark Walles on the second day put the Saints on the back foot. Tom Hilet was also run out when he was cruising with 23 runs. Dromana was taking advan-tage of the luck in the match.

Aaron Kaddatz continued his domi-nant season with 3/40, Danny Timmer claimed 2/31 and skipper Darren Kerr snared 2/1 off two overs to seal the deal.

Balnarring was all out for 163 in the 57th over.

Brenton Taylor was the highest run

scorer for the Saints with 40.Frankston YCW’s season is still

well and truly alive after beating sec-ond placed Hastings.

The Stonecats were certainly fa-vorites to win resuming on 2/85, chas-ing Hastings’ fi rst innings total of 173.

Lai Leaunoa (49) and Jason Bedford (53) resumed and added 43 runs be-fore both falling victim.

Levi McLoughlin-Dore then hit 20 in the middle order to get the Stone-cats within range.

However, Hastings struck back and had YCW 6/167, 7/171 and 8/172. The Blues needed two wickets and the Stonecats two runs.

YCW won out, Andrew Kitson and Sammy Fulton both scoring fi ve runs each to drag the score to 184 in 44 overs.

Liam Bradshaw was sensational for the Blues with a season high 5/37 while Luke Hewitt claimed 4/51.

Carrum Downs went hard at an outright victory against Skye but had to settle for the 12 points.

Skye resumed at 2/2 in its fi rst in-nings in reply to Carrum Downs’ 7/294.

The visitors were bowled out for 102. Chamara Perera and Stuart Swift took 3/15 and 3/30 respectively.

In their second innings, Skye batted for 46 overs for a score of 5/57. Perera added two second innings wickets while Michael O’Driscoll snared 3/24 off 10 overs.
