Election battle line

By Neil Walker THE State Government and Labor Opposition are embroiled in a highstakes game of political one-upmanship and Frankston line commuters are set to be the major winners as both parties pledge to spend up big to boost rail services.

Premier Denis Napthine, who vis-

ited Kingston last week to host a community cabinet meeting, confirmed the government’s $100 million Bayside Rail Improvement Project would begin this month.

The project, which was announced earlier this year, will include major upgrades to stations along the Frankston line to accommodate the

rollout of eight new Xtrapolis trains across the metropolitan rail network.

Not to be outdone, Opposition leader Daniel Andrews last week unveiled Labor’s transport master plan as an alternative to the Coalition’s $8 billion east-west link tunnel project.

looms as a major battleground in the lead-up to next year’s state election.

The Premier used his visit to Kingston last week to spruik his government’s commitment to a major upgrade of the Frankston line, which cuts through the state seats of Carrum and Mordialloc, both of which were won from Labor MPs at the 2010 poll

Dr Napthine said Bayside residents would see improvements to Frankston line stations over the next few months, with repainting works at Parkdale and Seaford stations the first visible signs the project had begun.

Budding film makers score top marks FILMMAKERS are often warned not to work with children or animals, but Bruce Grantford begs to differ.

The Parkdale resident left a high-flying career in commercial advertising five years ago to follow a new-found passion – collaborating with school children to make films.

Despite a highly successful - and lucrative – 15-year stint in the advertising world, Grantford said he had money had never been a focus. “I’ve never been a commercial person – I grew up in the hippy era and I’m still a bit of an overgrown hippy at heart,� he said.

He found his new calling by chance after a friend asked him to help out at a film festival at his children’s school. Grantford agreed and enjoyed the experience so much he decided to leave the corporate world behind. “For the first time in my life, I was using my skills not to make rich people richer but to educate and bring joy to children,� he said. “I’m earning a lot less than I did before but I’m happy.�

Grantford has made short films with students at several Kingston schools, including Parktone Primary and Le Page Primary.

Aspendale Primary School pupils will make their first film with Grantford next year.

His latest movie project saw him create short films with Mentone Park pupils. The short films, one for each class, were shown on the big screen at Village Cinemas at Southland last week.

Pupils, families, teachers and the extended school community watched the movies from the comfort of cinema seats. “It was incredibly exciting for everyone in-

volved to see their film on the big screen,� Mentone Park Primary principal Kendra Parker said. “It was amazing for all the kids to see themselves in a movie.�

Grantford’s short films are about 10 minutes long and have full titles, music and sound effects. “They’re proper little movies,� he said.

He spends five half-hour sessions with each class working on the concept for the pupils’ film.

The films run the gamut of movie genres and can be anything from fairy tales to science fiction. “The kids and I will workshop ideas and then I

will go away and write the script,� he said.

Pupils then set aside one day to make their movie and the post-production takes Grantford about two days to complete.

Parents are able to buy a DVD of the film and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. “In a concert – much as we love school concerts – ‘your little Johnny’ is second row from the back, third from the left. With the films I make, I write the scripts for each class so every child has a speaking part, even the shyest child.�

The 57-year-old filmmaker has vowed “never

to grow up�. He collects superhero comic books and still plays video games. His DC Comics collection contains more than 17,000 issues. “I’ve made a point all my life to make sure I never become an adult – having succeeded in that, I have no trouble communicating with kids .

Grantford said the best aspect of his job is when a parent or teacher says it’s outstanding to see the kids – especially the quieter kids – come out of their shell and act as a make-believe character in their film.

‘Censored’ pollies back in frame

By Neil Walker KINGSTON councillors have performed a political U-turn in welcoming back multiple appearances of politicians in the pages of the council’s official newsletter.

Councillors voted in May to limit the the number of times any individual state or federal politician could be pictured in the Kingston Your City newsletter to one per edition amid concerns the ratepayer-funded publication was being used to promote political causes.

However, at the latest council meeting on Monday, councillors Geoff Gledhill and Ron Brownlees pushed for “a variance� on the rule to allow greater discretion on the number of times politicians could appear in the monthly publication.

Cr Gledhill said he was concerned the policy was too restrictive in situations where several funding announcements were made by politicians within a short period of time. He said Premier Denis Napthine’s recent visit to Kingston saw

a number of funding committments announced, which highlighted the inflexibility of the policy. “It’s my understanding that the current policy makes full and accurate reporting on those announcements and outcomes rather difficult,� Cr Gledhill said. “I really don’t see any need to effectively have a policy that censors the publication if a member of parliament – federal or state – has done something positive for Kingston.�

He said he opposed the council publication being used for “gratuitous photo opportunities� for politicians. “It’s not WHO magazine,� he said. However, he said it was important residents were informed of funding announcements when they occured.

But Cr David Eden opposed the change, warning it was “a political move� that was more about “promoting individuals� than providing legitimate information to ratepayers. More concerning, Cr Eden said the change would allow councillors to “push their political agendas� in the lead up to next year’s state election. “We have councillors who are very close to state MPs up for re-

election. Let’s keep political propaganda out of ratepayer-funded publications,� he said.

Cr Tamara Barth said she had confidence in the professionalism of council’s communications staff but feared they could face pressure to include certain politicians.

But Cr Tamsin Bearsley said it was the restrictions themselves that placed pressure on council staff. “We don’t need our council officers jumping through hoops trying to get photos with certain people not in them or deliberately omitting a name when it would be in the public interest to inform them who had been working for their community,� she said.

She said some people referred to the perceived censorship as “the Communist clause�.

Cr Steve Staikos said council should focus on its core business of providing essential services rather than making sure politicians had “their egos stroked�. “We’re not talking about The Wall Street Journal here. At the end of the day, I think that readership of KYC is fairly restricted.�

Crs Barth, Eden, Staikos and Rosemary West voted to retain the existing policy, while Crs Bearsley, Brownless, Gledhill and Paul Peulich voted to abolish the policy. Cr John Ronke was absent from the meeting.

Cr Peulich used his newly acquired casting vote as mayor to ensure the restriction on politicians’ mentions or appearances was axed.

Several Kingston councillors have close political connections with both major political parties.

Cr Eden is a Labor Party member whose father, Nick Eden, is seeking the party’s pre-selection to contest the seat of Carrum at next year’s state election. Cr Staikos is a former Labor Party staffer.

Cr Gledhill is a Liberal Party member and was the former head of the party’s Business First fund-raising arm.

Mayor Peulich’s mother Inga Peulich is the Liberal Upper House MP for Bentleigh.

Cr Bearsley worked in the office of Liberal MP Donna Bauer before being elected to council last year.

CHELSEA Rotary Club is doing its bit to help spread the word abroad about Australia’s culture and traditions.

The club regularly arranges for foreign exchange students to visit and stay in Kingston for year-long study placements.

French student Thomas Jolin and Danish scholar Christian Wessels arrived in Australia in July and Rotarians are pitching in to show them the sights of Australia.

Chelsea Rotary Club president Kevin Harrison said.

“Club members take them to the football and they’ve visited Canberra to see the war memorial and Parliament recently.”

Thomas is attending classes at Parkdale Secondary College while in the country and Christian is based at Mentone Grammar.

“We keep them fairly active in trying to give them an appreciation – in a short 12-month time frame – what Australia is all about,” Mr Harrison said.

New wave yachties ready to up the pace

Land ahoy: (from left) Edithvale Primary School pupil Ryan, Chelsea Yacht Club training coordinator Donna Halton and Teagan get ready to set sail. Picture: Gary Sissons

By Neil Walker AS spring turns to summer, the yachting season returns to Kingston beaches and Chelsea Yacht Club hopes to entice a new generation to share the joys of sailing.

Edithvale Primary School pupils hit the bay last week for a taste of life on the waves.

Club president Colin Williams said volunteer members regularly gave up their own time to teach Kingston kids how to safely sail.

“We take them out on the ‘pacers’ – the training boats we have at the Chelsea Yacht Club. We have seven of those out and we take them out two at a time with a skipper from the yacht club,” Mr Williams said. “This is the third year we've done it for Edithvale Primary to give pupils an introduction to sailing.”

Those waiting their turn to head out in a pacer boat are given a tour of the club premises and hitch a ride on

rescue speed boats. Kingston children can also receive sailing lessons at Chelsea Yacht Club via its Tackers training program. The club established itself as a Tackers Training Centre last year, headed up by a new coordinator of training, Donna Halton.

“Tackers training is like the equivalent of little nippers in life saving or Auskick in football – it’s designed around three different levels and it’s designed around learning how to sail while having fun,” Mr Williams said.

Visit www.chelseayachtclub.com.au or call the club on 9772 2854 for details of the Tackers training program starting in January next year.  Chelsea Yacht Club will celebrate its 75th anniversary next year. Past members can call club president Colin Williams on 0431 835 813 or email colin.williams@optusnet.com.au if interested in attending a reunion dinner to be held on Saturday 29 March next year.

Sail of century for Carrum clubhouse CARRUM Sailing Club’s headquarters will be redeveloped as part of a $1.55 million state government project.

Premier Denis Napthine visited Kingston last week for a community cabinet meeting and announced the state would pitch in nearly $390,000 toward the redevelopment.

“This project will not only deliver

a new clubhouse with extra space for members to store boat and sail equipment, it will be a great new base to stage competitions and build on popular club initiatives which teach high school students how to sail,” Dr Napthine said.

A new three-storey clubhouse will include male and female change

rooms, bays to store 16 boats and a new restaurant. The new clubhouse will become a regional hub for boating in the Kingston region and is set to be completed by April 2015.

The Carrum Sailing Club will merge with the Patterson River Motor Boat Club to be based at the renamed Carrum Sailing and Motor Boat Club-

house. The two clubs are funding the remainder of the project.

Carrum Sailing Club secretary Anna McDonald said the improved facilities will ensure the club can host major boating championships. A state-of-theart race control room will be installed at the revamped clubhouse.

Ms McDonald hoped the new club-

house would increase community involvement at the Carrum Sailing Club.

“There are no barriers to everyone participating at our smart new building,” she said.

Ms McDonald thanks Carrum MP Donna Bauer for her efforts in helping to secure state government funding for the project.

Firey family at home with CFA FIREFIGHTERS often become close to each other due to the often confronting situations they face, but Edithvale CFA’s latest volunteer recruits are closer than most.

Hank and Teneale Van Ravenstein are father and daughter.

Mr Van Ravenstein said he decided to sign on as a CFA volunteer when his daughter was ready to join him.

“I wanted to give back to the community, and my daughter always wanted to join the fire brigade, but she had to wait until she was 18 to do the training,” he said.

The 50-year-old Patterson Lakes resident, employed as the principal manager of the Victorian Department of Human Services' Fire Risk Management Unit, undertook CFA training with his daughter for about nine months.

He said Teneale has wanted to be a firey since she was four years old. She recently completed her VCE at John Paul College in Frankston and hoped to study to become a nurse. CFA training includes medical and first-aid training.

“We’ve done the training to go out and do fire fighting and we can now go out and help with road accident victims,” Mr Van Ravenstein said.

He said the training is worthwhile for all. “I think everybody should learn about fire fighting. It’s a very good thing to understand and if you do get into a fire situation, you’re better prepared.”

The father and daughter duo will be joined at Edithvale CFA by another new recruit to the brigade. The unit received a new emergency management response vehicle earlier this month.

Green team answers call GREEN thumbs with a passion for the foreshore are invited to lend a hand at a nursery day being held by Kingston Council.

The 2013-14 Growing the Foreshore’s Future program is focused on growing and planting Hairy Spinifex along the Kingston Foreshore.

Hairy Spinifex is an important foreshore plant as it stabilises dunes and protects against erosion.

A nursery day will be held on Saturday 7 December from 10am-1pm at 101-105 Scotch Parade, Bonbeach, to grow as many Hairy Spinifex as possible. Kingston residents can help by planting cuttings into tubes.

Council staff will care and maintain the plants until they are ready to be planted in May and June next year.

Those who help on nursery day will be given the chance to plant the Hairy Spinifex on the foreshore themselves.

To attend, contact Jared Megens on 9776 0403 or email jared.megens@ kingston.vic.gov.au by Thursday 5 December.

The show’s longevity has been assured by the lead character of The Doctor regenerating and changing his appearance every few years. Eleven actors have played the role to date.

“We will try to repay your amazing kindness by striving always to offer the best service and range and to be the very best Australian independent specialty bookshop we can be,” Chuck said.

Fine line for rail upgrades From Page 1 “The Bayside Rail Improvement Project will improve train reliability for 50,000 weekday Frankston line travellers,� Dr Napthine said. “The new trains will run on the Frankston, Werribee and Williamstown lines for the first time.�

Labor’s public transport plan, dubbed Project 10,000, promises to create 10,000 jobs while upgrading suburban road and rail networks. “Over the past three years, Labor has listened to thousands of Victorians and heard how traffic congestion and poor-performing public transport affects their everyday lives,� Mr Andrews said.

As part of the project, the “50 worst level crossings� in Victoria would be removed, including the level crossings at Edithvale Rd in Edithvale and Station St in Bonbeach. Other Frankston line level crossings to be removed include those at Seaford Rd, Seaford, Skye Rd, Frankston, and Charman Rd, Cheltenham.

Metro Trains advised The News there had been three collisions between trains and vehicles within the past six months on the Frankston line alone.

Last Wednesday, a Frankstonbound train struck a car stuck on tracks near Bonbeach station. While no one was injured, commuters faced lengthy delays as buses were brought in to shuttle passengers between Carrum and Mordialloc.

Level crossings have been identified as one of the main causes of delays and traffic congestion across

Meet your makers at twilight market DOZENS of Melbourne’s best artists and designers will display their creative talents at the Kingston Arts Makers Market next month.

Moorabbin’s annual twilight Makers Market, formerly known as the Night Art Market, will be held at Kingston City Hall from 4-9pm on Saturday 7 December.

The market provides an ideal opportunity to snap up unique hand-crafted gifts for Christmas.

The market offers hand-crafted fashion items, jewellery and accessories and art, ceramics, homewares, toys, stationery and photography.

Entry is free. There will be live music, free art activities and street food stalls.

Melbourne. However, the high financial cost of removing them, combined with major delays expected to be caused by construction works, have been considered prohibitive by successive governments.

Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said Labor’s pledge to remove level crossings cannot be taken seriously. “To separate Charman Road, the road has to stay where it is and the rail go under, otherwise half the addresses on Charman Road won’t be

road accessible,� Ms Wreford said. “Because trains don’t go up steep inclines, this means Park Road, just 300m away, also needs to be separated for Charman Road to be done.

That isn’t on Labor’s list. Neither is the new station they’d need to build.�

Ms Wreford and Carrum MP Donna Bauer face a fight to retain their seats at next year’s election.

Ms Wreford won the seat of Mordialloc by a margin of just 2.04 per cent, with Ms Bauer getting over

I WANT YOU TO VISIT THE

the line with a slim margin of 2.07 per cent.

The bayside ‘sand belt’ seats are regarded as crucial to both major parties chancing of winning government.

The current Coalition government won the 2010 state election by only one seat, and is reliant on the support of maverick independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, and the outcome of his trial on fraud charges, to remain in power until next year’s November election.

KINGSTON sports clubs are encouraged to apply for VicHealth grants of up to $3000 for essential sporting, and injury prevention and management equipment.

Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said more than $1 million was available to community sport and recreation clubs across Victoria. “The grants aim to make it easier for clubs to fund items or equipment that help them to improve safety,� Ms Wreford said.

Apply for a grant online at www.vichealth. vic.gov.au/activeclub. Applications must be received by 4pm on Thursday 5 December.

Church’s fete set ST CHAD’S Anglican Church in Chelsea is hosting a fete on Saturday 30 November, with all proceeds to be donated to Kingston outreach programs.

The fete, which is on from 9am-1pm, will feature numerous market stalls, barbecues, and Indian and Sri Lankan food.

Also on sale will be books, cakes and toys, as well as trash and treasure stalls.

AROUND THE REGION

Cops slam freeway speedsters

By Chris Brennan MORE than 7000 speeding tickets have been issued to motorists on Peninsula Link in the 33 days since speed cameras were turned on.

Victoria Police data shows an average of 216 speeding offences every day.

Of those, 75 drivers had their licences cancelled after being detected travelling more than 30km/h over the speed limit, while five drivers will be prosecuted under anti-hoon laws for going more than 45km/h over the limit.

Peninsula Link speed cameras de-

tected 5092 drivers travelling less than 10 km/h over the speed limit, 1528 between 10-15 km/h above the limit, 431 at 15-25 km/h over and 36 fines where drivers were clocked at 25-30 km/h over the limit.

While the number of infringements was well down on the 16,000 plus detected during testing a month earlier, police said the results were still “extremely frustrating”.

Southern Metro Region commander for road policing Inspector Bryan Sharp said it was disappointing to see motorists ignore the speed limit and put others’ lives at risk, despite the presence of the cameras.

“We gave motorists plenty of warning that the cameras were being activated so it is extremely frustrating to see people speeding and treating this road like a racetrack,” he said.

Police from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have also been told to patrol the freeway to ensure drivers stay within the 100km/h speed limit.

Inspector Sharp said drivers needed to be aware that if they were doing the wrong thing on Peninsula Link they would be caught “whether it is by the cameras or by the police”.

“Just last Wednesday, a driver was intercepted between Skye and Ballarto roads in Frankston North travelling at

take care on our roads.

“We want everyone arriving safely for their holidays; no one wants to be staring at an empty space at the table on Christmas Day. “Police will be actively targeting those drivers whose driving behaviours put others at risk and we will be enforcing the speed limits.

“If you are heading down to the peninsula this festive season, you will see police on the roads and you will see booze buses. Expect to be intercepted and expect to be breath tested.

“We want to see all road users doing the right things to ensure everyone gets to their destinations safely.”

Carbon tax stance a ‘boon for business’

Nothing fishy about taking dive HUNDREDS of divers and snorkellers took the plunge for a good cause on Saturday, the first day of the three-weekend Great Victorian Fish Count.

The annual census of reef fish and other marine life started in 2005 and last year more than 350 volunteers from 25 groups throughout Victoria took part.

The event surveys and monitors important reef sites, and is run

by Victorian National Parks Association’s Reef Watch program in conjunction with Museum Victoria.

Fish count locations on the peninsula included Mornington pier, Blairgowrie marina, Rye pier and reefs in southern Port Phillip as well as Point Leo, Flinders pier and Mushroom Reef Marine Sanctuary off Flinders golf course on the Western Port and Bass Strait side of the peninsula.

Simon Branigan, VNPA’s marine and coastal project coordinator, said divers would be searching for Victoria’s marine faunal emblem, the weedy seadragon, as well as 180 other marine species including 25 important reef fish species.

“It’s Victoria’s largest marine citizen science event,” he said. “Divers have underwater identification kits and information recorded is provided to marine scientists.”

He said Victoria’s marine environment was unique, with more

180km/h. The vehicle he was driving had no registration plates and he was found to be disqualified from driving.

“His car has been impounded and he is now facing some serious charges including speed in a dangerous manner and disqualified driving.

“This is a 30 year-old man from Seaford who has shown no regard for anyone else and should not be on our roads.”

Inspector Sharp said that with more people heading to the Mornington Peninsula for the summer holiday period, drivers needed to remain alert.

“This is a timely reminder to everyone heading into the holiday season to

Fishy business: Hundreds of divers and snorkellers took the plunge for a good cause on Saturday, including Verity Collings at Mornington pier. Picture: Gary Sissons

than 85 per cent of species found nowhere else. “Our waters are so rich they rival the Great Barrier Reef for biological diversity, but they face mounting pressures from threats such as overfishing, pollution and invasive species.”

Information gathered would give scientists and conservation planners reliable, up-to-date marine data so

they could make more informed decisions about protecting Victoria’s marine world.

Last year, divers verified the presence of western blue gropers in Port Phillip.

FEDERAL Flinders MP Greg Hunt was the focus of attention last week in both the nation’s capital and his stomping ground on the Mornington Peninsula as he looked to sell the virtues of the government’s climate change policy.

While environmentalists slammed the Abbott government’s push to repeal the carbon price as a step backward in the global battle to tackle climate change, Mr Hunt assured voters the pricing of carbon dioxide was an unnecessary evil that placed an unfair impost on the Australian economy and small businesses in particular.

Despite being a well-known proponent of a pricing mechanism to control pollution before duties within an ever “pragmatic” Liberal Party took over, Mr Hunt appeared convincing in his pitch to federal parliament and the Australian population that direct action via government intervention was a far superior approach to curbing greenhouse gas emissions than the market-based alternative.

“The idea that a punitive electricity tax is the right approach to tackling climate change was unequivocally rejected by the Australian people at the recent election,” Mr Hunt said last week.

He assured peninsula small business operators that they would be among the primary winners of the Coalition’s push to scrap Labor’s carbon price.

“Small businesses were hit hardest by the carbon tax as they were not given any of the compensation or handouts afforded to larger businesses,” Mr Hunt said.

“I have been contacted by business owners from Somerville, Hastings and Rosebud who told me they feared for the viability of their businesses under the carbon tax.

“They were all operating on a tight margin, in a highly competitive field and were not in a position to simply pass on cost increases to customers.

“Repealing the carbon tax will lower costs for all local businesses and manufacturers, boost growth, increase jobs and ease cost of living pressures for households.

“This is particularly crucial on the Mornington Peninsula with its high population of seniors on a fixed income.”

He said under the government’s proposed legislation, the carbon tax would be removed from 30 June 2014, which would “simplify the transition for businesses and give complete certainty about future liabilities”.

The scrapping of the tax on carbon dioxide emissions would result in a 7-9 per cent saving on electricity and gas prices, he said.

“The Coalition government will ensure price reductions from repealing the carbon tax flow through to small businesses by providing additional resources to the ACCC [Australian Competition and Consumer Commission] for enforcement.”

He said the Abbott government remained committed to reducing Australia’s emissions by five per cent below 2000 levels by 2020, as part of the Kyoto agreement, but he believed the carbon price was the wrong mechanism to tackle climate change.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Nasty carriage accident at Bittern station; plea for better crayfishing Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 November 1913 AT Bittern railway station a very nasty accident happened to one of the coach horses on Saturday. The animal became frightened at a motor and bolted. It ran into a post, breaking its shoulder and tearing the flesh all across the chest. The animal had to be shot. Fortunately there was no one in the coach at the time of the accident. *** QUITE a pleasing aspect appears at Stony Point at present through the whole of the crafts engaged in the crayfishing industry lying there, the captains being away at Hobart to a conference to try and get the East coast of Tasmania thrown open for pot fishing. At present, the East coast is abounding with crayfish, and what is known as hoop fishing is only allowed.

The artist formerly known as ‘Erik’

By Stuart McCullough I’D like to think I make an impression on people. I’ve long believed that time spent with me is not soon forgotten and that those whose lives I have entered – if even for a little while – often spend evenings sitting on a porch, reminiscing about all the wonderful things I used to do.

For years I drifted along thinking that others held only warm thoughts for me. As it turns out, I was mistaken.

I received an invitation to attend a reunion. For a time, I worked in a call centre. It was a job in the public service and, unlike previous jobs that needed only either a hairnet or boots with a steel toe, demanded the wearing of a tie. This was despite the fact that the telephone is and remains a predominantly non-visual medium.

I was there for about five months before the whole show was transferred from the State to Commonwealth and I picked up a job in the private sector. Twenty-five years have passed since that tumultuous time. I could only begin to imagine what had happened to most of them but I was certain that they, like me, cherished the time we spent together.

The invitation came with a list setting out all the people who had ever worked in the call centre. Out of idle curiosity, I searched for my own name but found no mention of ‘Stuart’. Instead, the list referred to me as ‘Erik McCullough’.

Being misremembered is much worse than being overlooked altogether. If your name doesn’t appear at all, you can always comfort yourself

that the person preparing the list never had the divine pleasure of your company or that some catastrophic software malfunction has meant that part of the record has been destroyed.

No such solace is available when you turn up as ‘Erik.’ It’s as if my former workmates kind of recall working with me, but not enough to remember my actual name. It does,

however, go some way to explaining why so many of those in the call centre have failed to invite me to birthdays, weddings and bah mitzvahs over the past two decades.

When it comes to being misremembered, there are degrees. I could probably handle being confused with a similar sounding name or one that started with the same letter. Had the

list cited ‘Steven’, ‘Scooter’ or even ‘Saddam’ McCullough in place of Stuart, I probably would have taken it on the chin. I would even have worn the nametag entirely without complaint. But ‘Erik’? Please.

They couldn’t even make me a conventional ‘Eric’, preferring instead some kind of Nordic mutation.

If they’d thought of me as just plain, regular ‘Eric’ I would comforted myself by thinking of all the great Erics of History. There’s ‘Eric the Viking’ and, of course, ‘Wreckless Eric’, to say nothing of Eric Estrada.

Better yet, ‘Eric’ is an anagram for ‘rice’, which can only be a good thing. But Nordic ‘Erik’ means nothing. That said, there was (of course) Erik Erikson, the famed psychoanalyst responsible for developing the concept of the ‘identity crisis’.

For many, Erik Erikson is regarded as the uber-Erik, as no-one before or since has been more ‘Erik’ than he, much as Gary Garry Beers from INXS is jam-packed full of Gary goodness like no other.

What were my long-lost friends trying to tell me? Was getting my name wrong a deliberate reference to Erik Erikson to subtly suggest that I suffer from a split personality? Neither of me thinks so.

Rather, I decided that these people with whom I once spent the hours between nine and five, five days a week for about five months nearly twenty years ago were making a none-toosubtle suggestion that I ought to change my name. Looking back over my performance, they may just have a

point. It was my first office job and, at the time, I was exclusively dressed by the Myer Bargain Basement. Part of the job involved sending out information sheets to an expectant public; a task I filled with great enthusiasm.

Each day, I would stand at the facsimile machine, dispatching the greatest gift of all – information – across the state. When people rang to say they were yet to receive the fax I’d promised, I would faithfully resend the missing pages. Only after three or four months did I realize that I was faxing everything the wrong way round, ensuring that nothing but blank pages ever arrived at the intended destination. My enthusiasm counted for naught.

Then there was the staff Christmas party that was held in the office and each staff member had to take turns in answering the phones. It is now common practice to record such calls for quality purposes.

However, it is a matter of great personal relief that this was not the case at the time as I now seriously question the quality of my advice and if I did anything for the caller other than suggest we order pizza it would be nothing short of a Christmas miracle.

It was such a long time ago. As each year dissolves more rapidly than the last, it seems to be more and more the case. In the end, I piked and left the reunion to others. I could concoct a reason, but it’s best just to say that I decided to let sleeping Eriks lie.

Sometimes the past is already right where it belongs. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance JUST as I was coming to terms with the hysteria of the last AC/DC concert in Melbourne, Mushroom Promotions has announced that the Rolling Stones will tour Australia in 2014. Social media went into meltdown. I must admit, my blood pressure skyrocketed at the prospect of seeing the ageing rockers once more.

I had a front position at their 2006 concert at the MCG and, as a budding university student with long hair, l witnessed the 1973 concert at Kooyong with the great Madder Lake as support. My wife, Deborah, to this day still confirms that it was the best live concert she had seen in 2006.

I am halfway through a book, The Rolling Stones Complete Recording Sessions, written by a self-confessed fan who lists every Stones recording session from 1963-1989.

Filled with fascinating information like: Eric Clapton played slide guitar on Brown Sugar; Ronnie Lane and Pete Townsend did backing vocals on Wild Horses, Ry Cooder featured on Honky Tonk Woman, Sarah Dash (Labelle) featured on backing vocals for Mixed Emotions; David Bowie did backing vocals on Its Only Rock’n’Roll and Venetta Fields did backing vocals on Tumbling Dice, just to name a few.

Between 1964 and 1975, the Stones produced a body of work that established them as one of popular music’s most important act, keeping them astride the pop charts while retaining rock credibility, and paid the bills for the subsequent 20 years.

Sticky Fingers remains one of my favourite albums being the first to be released on their own label featuring the tongue and lips logo and the first to top both the US and UK charts.

Brown Sugar is a classic Stones’ song with the irresistible guitar riff, with songs we remember them by like Wild Horses, Bitch and I Got the Blues.

Exile on Main Street (1972) will be classified by many rock fans as their favourite, featuring Nicky Hopkins on piano and Bobby Keys on saxophone pumping out songs like Tumbling

Dice, Rocks Off, Shake Your Hips, Let it Loose and Shine a Light.

Angie is a favourite for Mrs Turner and, despite many years of speculation on the matter, it’s unlikely that the song Angie is evidence that Mick Jagger was having an affair with David Bowie’s wife Angela.

The most eagerly anticipated concert of years and the entertainment opening of the world class Adelaide Oval in 2014 were announced today as rock icons The Rolling Stones confirm their long-awaited return to the stage in Australia with a spectacular show, Saturday March 22, 2014.

This special Adelaide show continues the exhilarating celebration of the band’s five decades, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Woods bringing their iconic music and ground-breaking stage shows to audiences around the globe. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday 25 November from 9am.

Mick Taylor, who was a member of the Rolling Stones from 1969-1974, will be a special guest at the concert.

Mick Jagger said: “It’s great to be invited to Adelaide to open the historic Oval... We’re really looking forward to doing this gig, it will be the first time we’ve been to Adelaide in nearly 20 years, so see you there!”

Keith Richards said: “Hi everyone down in Adelaide; it’s been a while since we were in your back yard… see you on March 22 when we’ll take over your new stadium and make it our own, look forward to it.”

Stay tuned for a possible Melbourne date. Tickets will be available either by visiting www.ticketek.com.au or www.adelaideoval.com.au. Prices will start at $79. Details: www. mushroompromotions.com or www. frontiertouring.com *** DAYDREAM Island will be hosting two music festivals in May 2014.

With 25 artists featuring over 10 days, the Elvis music festival from 19-24 May and the 60s/70s/80s music

festival from 24-29, featuring Russell Morris, Normie Rowe, Killer Queen, Michael Jackson Show, Elton John Tribute, Mark Andrew’s Grease Show, Creedence Clearwater Recycled, Rick Charles and many more performers.

Music lovers will have the whole island to themselves in what promises to be a huge musical 10 days. Visit www.musicthemes.com.au for more details. *** THE Peninsula Music Festival is taking shape, with an additional band announced in the shape of Mornington outfit Out of the Blue. The festival will feature some classic 60s music. www.peninsulamusicfestival.com.au *** DAINTY Group is proud to announce superstars Lionel Richie and John Farnham will perform in a coheadlining tour across Australia in March 2014, with tickets going on sale on Friday 29 November. Richie and Farnham will perform sets with their own band and singers.

Promoter Paul Dainty said: “I am always thrilled when a superstar wants to tour. But when two legends agree to take their magic on the road.”

A five-time Grammy winner, Richie is a music icon known for his solo hits as well as a member of the Commodores. He has sold more than 100 million albums and written and recorded chart-topping hits including Hello, All Night Long, Penny Lover, Stuck on You and Dancin’ On The Ceiling.

Farnham, a master performer whose classic album Whispering Jack is owned by one in four Australians, has a long-held nickname that still says it all: The Voice. This year, Farnham was voted best Australian singer of all time. The former child star released his first hit, Sadie the Cleaning Lady in 1967.

It became Australia’s highestselling, locally made single to that point, with sales in excess of 180,000, while Farnham went on to become a five-time King of Pop winner. He parlayed his teen idol fame into stage

musicals, cabaret, and a stint with the Little River Band, fronting hits like The Other Guy and Playing To Win. Whispering Jack, released in 1987, rebooted Farnham’s career as a headline act. Hits including A Touch of Paradise, Pressure Down and Chain Reaction followed.

A 15-time ARIA Award winner, Farnham was named Australian of the Year in 1988, made an Officer of the Order of Australia, in 1996, awarded a Centenary Medal in 2001, and inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2003.

Farnham holds the box office record for most number of arena shows by an Australian performer.

His 2002 juggernaut tour, which ran the length and breadth of the continent for six months, was one of the highest grossing tours in Australian history. It earned Farnham three gold records.

Other top 10 hits included Underneath the Arches, Friday kind of Monday, Jamie, One, Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head, Comic Conversation, Rock Me Baby, Help, You’re the Voice and my favourite Everything is Out of Season.

Farnham holds the box office record for most number of arena shows by an Australian performer.

His 2002 juggernaut tour, which ran the length and breadth of the continent for six months, was one of the highest grossing tours in Australian history.

John Farnham and Lionel Richie will appear at the Rod Laver Arena, March 16. Tickets on sale November 29. Phone 132 849. www.tickettek.com.au www. daintygroup.com *** NANCY Sinatra, the 73 year old daughter of Frank Sinatra, will release a new album, Shifting Gears, next month featuring 15 never-before released tracks. Sinatra is best known for her 1966 hit These Boots Are Made for Walkin’. Other hits include Sugar Town, Jackson, Lightning’s Girl, Did You Ever? and Summer Wine. ***

obsession, so I’m putting it out there: Stop skiting! Nobody’s listening, or if they appear to be, they know you’re being foolish. Like-minded skites wait patiently for you to finish so they can tell you their own inimitable life story; mostly males.

Why display their toughness. This false pride in the look, the walk, the roosters stance, the tatoos sometimes accompanying the swagger? We don’t care if you’re tough fellas, if indeed you are. Pull your heads in, or go see a psychologist, preferably female.

As a kid, only butchers and wharfies looked tough. *** READING about the soldier who was kicked out for showing his sexual encounter on Skype brought to mind the underbelly of my five slogging months of national service in the navy in defence of my country.

Even way back then, I had an instinct for attaching myself to the right people. I was warned prior to entry never to bend down in the showers? (They kicked the female out and only followed suit with the male because of bad publicity; typical). Anyway, one or two of the evil members of my group would note those who had not appeared in the showers for a day or two and when they did, on the pretext of cleanliness, they would have the nugget shoe polish at the ready.

Eventually, almost everyone copped it you know where, up to two weeks before discharge when some pathetic resentful skulking boy I had beaten at swimming convinced them I needed a turn. Four of the mean bastards failed to apply the nugget in a close tussle.

Cat and lots of mice. *** CRICKET Australia and James Sutherland have done a fine job in ruining our Summer sport the past three years so we look to the test series against England as a light on a very dark horizon. Half a chance at the Gabba, unbeaten the past 25 years, but at best only part salvation.

The Ryobi Cup, India, the Big Bash League slog, all designed to make money and confuse us.

Our newspapers, in desperation, have taken to reporting all the football trade period goings on, which is as interesting as as burnt hard boiled egg.

The Age allows former cricket great Dean Jones to write in a bid to encourage us. Sadly, Jones writes rubbish; thankfully not so Greg Baum and Anson Cameron. One thing stays the same: those NSW mongrels still beat us in the shield matches. *** FROM the executive director of Quit Victoria: “Recent independent research found plain package cigarettes with larger graphic health warnings increased smokers urgency to quit and

lowered their appeal to smoking”. As it happens, I’ve just collated the results of my recent independant research in the DSA of the Rye RSL, where some 95 per cent took little or no notice of said graphics. *** MY old mate Kevvy has called it quits. A job well done. True, he went off the rails when stabbed by Julia, Wayne and Billy’s mob and caused my kick severe damage with his cigarette price increases, but the balance falls far in his favour.

Biggest pension increase, steering us through the GFC, gaining respect in our foreign affairs dealings (lately in tatters) and particularly ignoring the ALP factional groupings. Done in by his own and climate change policies. Nicola will be happy.

Now it’s bland Bill up against the three stooges at the Colosseum with no Russell Crowe in sight. Men are partial and passionate, merciless, covetous, corrupt, subject to love, hate, fear and favour. Take away the prize, and who chooses virtue for its own sake? Shudder. *** DARLING Rita Panahi (Herald-Sun) calls those protesting against the east-west link a gang of unionists, unwashed hippies, greenies, confused pensioners, socialists and progresshating layabouts. Try as you might to bend the facts, Rita love, you will

PINK Floyd’s Roger Waters is recording his first new rock album in over two decades. The bass player is back in the studio and has almost finished a demo of a new record.

Although the 70 year old released an opera album in 2005, this is his first rock project since Amused to Death (1992). *** OZZY Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates have extended their reunion tour in 2014. They were expected to bow out after a final hometown show in Birmingham, England on December 22 but due to the success of their latest album and tour, have decided to tour North America and Europe as well, with dates in New York and Brooklyn in March. *** ROBBIE Williams is set to release a brand-new album Swings Both Ways (EMI). The album features a brilliant selection of classic songs including Dream A Little Dream (with Lily Allen), I Wanna Be Like You (with Olly Murs) and Little Green Apples (with Kelly Clarkson).

Brand new tracks include Soda Pop (with Michael Buble) and Swings Both Ways, written and performed with Rufus Wainwright.

The album sees Williams reunite with Guy Chambers, with whom he wrote six new songs. Guy Chambers produced the album.

Williams’ previous swing album, Swing When You’re Winning, was released in 2001 and spent six consecutive weeks at the top of the UK chart, going seven-times platinum. It remains Williams’ bestselling album ever.

A Grain of Salt AMANDA Gordon, senior clinical psychologist with Armchair Psychology Practice says: “Some people put an enormous emotional investment in a particular place and fall in love with it before they’ve been able to buy it ... they imagine themselves living there and put off other things as a result.

“Then, when they fail to buy it, they are disappointed, distressed, and can despair that they are ever going to get anything. The depression can be akin to being left at the alter.”

A losing bidder at a house auction?

Maybe, Amanda. Akin to those thousands in the Philippines who lost their homes in Typhoon Hayian recently? I can’t help but wonder as to Amanda’s thoughts on Beyondblue chairman, media personality Jeff Kennett, a gentleman engaged in national depression initiatives and seemingly a contributing cause of our three-monthly source of depression (mood disturbances) when the electricity bill arrives. Psychologists?

Give me a break! *** SKITE, as in ego, an overflowing concept of self. I’ve never had much to skite about, not that it caused me grief, although I have noticed occasionally skiting about something I had no right to. I’d pull my head in or tell myself not to do it again.

It appears to have become a natural

Doggies serve it up to the Kangas PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON proved that its opponent on Saturday needs to do a lot of improving if it is to mix it with the big boys of the Provincial competition.

Langwarrin went into the match against the Doggies as one of three undefeated sides of the competition.

Sorrento and Mornington were the other two.

The new kids on the block had impressive victories in the first four rounds against the reigning premier Peninsula Old Boys and Mt Eliza, however, the big test was always going to be the next three matches.

The Kangas face the Doggies in this match, before hosting Sorrento in the following match and Baxter after that. All of these sides, along with Langy, share the top four places on the ladder.

On Saturday, Langwarrin’s top order failed again.

The Kangas have some real concerns at the moment with skipper Mark Cooper, who has scored just 102 runs in five matches, while

number three David Ross is also out of form, failing to score 100 runs this season to date.

Other than a century in round two, Andy Johnson has scored just 58 runs in his other four matches.

Once again, it was Danny Weare who top scored for the visitors with 44, while Michael Edwards and Mal Coutts scored 27 and 25 respectively.

The day belonged to the home side and weren’t they impressive!

Matt Foon and Luke Popov were electric in their opening spells and at one stage had the Kangas reeling at 4/38.

Foon finished with 4/36 from 17 overs and Popov claimed 4/28 from 16 overs.

They were dominant and enjoyed making a real statement to the Kangas.

In reply, the Doggies are cruising at 1/93, Anthony Gapes on 36 and Ben Clements unbeaten on 43.

This will be a very comfortable victory for the Dogs.

Mt Eliza has placed itself in a very strong position against Sorrento.

Bowling first, the Mounties dismissed Sorrento for just 174, Sam

Creffield the pick of the bowlers with 4/35, while Tommy Baron also helped himself to figures of 4/47.

Leigh Poholke was the best of the Sorrento batsmen, stranded not out on 87, while Nick Jewell contributed 31.

Long Island will be looking forward to a strong victory against Moorooduc this Saturday after posting a massive 5/409 on day one of their clash.

Paul Hartle was at his magical best with 107, while opening partner Aaron Paxton got amongst the runs also with 66. The pair put-on 122 in their opening partnership.

Peter Connell then came in at three and contributed 48, before Justin Bridgemen smacked 76 and Scott Phillips 65. Suffice to say it was a pretty good day for the Islanders with

the bat.

Bobby Wilson with two wickets was the pick of the Ducs’ bowlers.

Crib Point is just three runs away from getting the job done against Mt Martha.

The Magpies bowled first and rolled the home side for 118, Brad Davidson the destroyer with 4/18 and Luke Herrington continuing his great season with 3/27.

Corey Harris top scored for Mt Martha with 30.

Whilst not setting the world on fire with the bat, the Magpies are 5/116 overnight, a boundary away from victory. Luke Chapple and Henry Dolphin top scored for the Pies with 30.

Baxter and Peninsula Old Boys have had some wonderful battles in

recent years and this game looks as though it could go down to the wire also.

Baxter batted first at Peninsula School on Saturday and made 223.

Rye performed beautifully with the ball against Heatherhill on Saturday and placed itself in a great position after bowling out the visitors for just 125.

However, its batsmen failed again and overnight the Demons are in some trouble at 3/45.

Kristian Miller top scored for the Hills with 35, while Leigh Lambert was the best of the Demons bowlers with 4/42. Andrew Dunn and Darren Groves each picked-up 2/16.

Groves and Simon Jones are the not out bastmen for the Demons.

Boneo has a battle ahead DISTRICT

By IT Gully SEAFORD Tigers have placed themselves in a strong position to get the 12 points against Boneo in Round Five of District cricket.

Batting first on Saturday at Boneo, Seaford Tigers batted their allotted 80 overs, finishing at 8/294.

Once again it was Corey Hand who took control out in the middle, hitting 72, while he received outstanding support from Ash Mills with an unbeaten 69. David James was also solid for the Tigers with 46.

The top order of Boneo is going to have to shine this week if they are to get anywhere near the total.

The match between Flinders and Baden Powell is evenly posied, despite the fact that the Braves bowled out the home side for just 122.

Flinders batted first on their home deck but was dominated by the Braves’ bowling attack, led by Nathan Rice, who snared 3/17. Rice has been terrific for the Braves this season and now has 17 wickets for the season.

Anjula Perera bowled 16 overs and finished with 2/19, including seven maidens, while Julien Pharaoh also snared a couple of wickets.

Louis Gillies was the best of the Flinders batsmen with 37, while Jack Halstead opened with 22 and Rob Clements also contributed 22.

Despite doing the job with the ball, the Braves couldn’t step up to the plate with the bat.

At stumps, the visitors were 3/38, Elias Carter and Perera back in the sheds.

Matty Burns picked up 2/23 and

PAGE 22

Tom Clements took the wicket of Carter.

Not surprisingly, Delacombe Park is in a comfortable position against Ballam Park.

The Knights batted first and were rolled by the Parkers for just 97.

Shane Deal was at his best with 4/8, while Virun Singh and Chris Brittain each claimed three wickets.

In reply, the Parkers are 1/44.

Pines appears to be in the box seat against Seaford.

The neighbors went toe to toe at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday and the Piners were able to score 266.

Seaford skipper Damien Lawrence bowled almost 30 overs and finished with 6/106. He now has 19 wickets for the season, along with 174 runs.

Geoff Smith opened the bowling for Seaford and from his 11 overs, finished with figures of 2/22.

Somerville appears to have the upper hand against Main Ridge, despite being bowled out for 189.

On the small Main Ridge ground, a score less than 200 looked short.

However, the Eagles’ bowlers stepped up to the plate and had the Ridge 3/22 at stumps.

Jack Kennedy was the destroyer with 3/10.

For the Eagles, Andrew West top scored with 47, while Jack Barbour scored 26 and Keith Burdett 25.

Jordan McCully was fantastic with the ball for the Ridge, picking up 5/52 from 16 overs.

Scott Millar was rewarded with 3/80 after his 35 overs.

The match between Hastings and Carrum will be a limited overs affair this Saturday after rain affected day one.

Skye opens up against Frankston YCW as sky opens up to limit play SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully RAIN was the only winner in Round Five of Sub District cricket.

Of the five matches scheduled on Saturday, only three got starts.

The match between Tyabb and Red Hill and Carrum Downs v Dromana will be played this weekend as one-dayers.

There was plenty of cricket played at Pearcedale, where the home side batted first and made 9/203.

Kaine Smith did what he so often does and that is lead from the front, finishing unbeaten on 37, while Chris Dew made 33, Shayne Gillings 31 and Brad Trotter 26.

Patrick Nagle continued his outstanding beginning to his First XI career with 3/28 from 16 overs. He bowled eight maidens.

Darren Kerr found himelf opening the bowling and finished with 3/79, while teenager James Magee picked up 2/40 from 16 overs in his first senior game.

Skye batted first against Frankston YCW and made 208 runs from its 76 overs.

Skipper Leigh Smith was the best of the batsmen, scoring 84, while Paul Fillipone was terrific support with 43.

Luke Hutchison wound back the clock for YCW, claiming six wickets, while the evergreen Paul Bradley and Andrew Kitson snared one each.

The Stonecats had to face the last four overs of the day and things didn’t go well, losing opener Jason Tucker for five and Peter Wilkins for eight. Wilkins has just 74 runs this season for the Stonecats in five innings with a highest score of 30.

Both Jason and Rob Bedford were elevated from the Second XI for this clash.

Tootgarook looks likely to get the points against Balnarring after bowling them out for 88 on Saturday.

James Wisken, batting at nine, was the top scoring for the home side with 21.

In reply, Tootgarook is crusing at 0/48 after facing 12 overs.

- Rosebud has signed quick and hard midfielder Dan Hickey from Sorrento.

- Sorrento flew a couple of Tasmanians over recently for an interview.

- Rye has signed four players from De La Salle, including Seb Gotch, th sone on former Saint and Lion in the VFL, Brad. Jay Bruco also joins them from St Pauls.

- Karingal has replaced many of their losses with four signings from Noble Park.

Chris Hay looks likely to stay after being sounded out by at least two other clubs.

- The interesting one is former Frankston YCW and Hastings big man Andy Kiely. He has told Rosebud, Red Hill and Langwarrin ‘no thanks’ and isn’t staying at Hastings.

However, he won’t say where he is playing next season. Our guess is Dromana or Rye.

Tigers champ in tough battle 2013 Dromana premiership Player Adam Hunter has had some hard and tough battles on the football field.

However, he and his family now face their biggest challenge.

‘Huntsy’, the star of MPNFL football for the past 10 years, is battling bowel cancer.

The Dromana Football Netball Club, members, supporters and the local community are coming together to support Adam and help raise money for bowel cancer research.

The club would like to hear from anyone who may have items to auction on the night.

Bowel Cancer Fundraising and Auction night Date: Saturday 14th December 2013 from 7pm Venue: Tonic Gym – 50 Collins Road, Dromana
