THE state election battle for Frankston has intensified. Labor opposition leader Daniel Andrews visited Frankston train station last Friday morning to commit $50 million to transform the station precinct into a “state-of-the-art transport hub”.

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

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

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

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

Mr Andrews said the station precinct master plan would be “fast tracked” and an incoming Labor government would establish a Station Precinct Taskforce to begin work on the transport project “within the first 100

days” of government.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mayer is new mayor after split vote Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON has a new mayor.

Councillors voted last Wednesday evening to elect Cr Sandra Mayer to succeed outgoing mayor Darrel Taylor but Cr Mayer’s elevation to the mayoralty was not without controversy.

Councillors traditionally meet behind closed doors before a mayor is elected to thrash out any differences of opinion away from the public eye to give an outward appearance of unity to allow the new mayor to establish their authority at the start of the statutory 12-month tenure as chair of council meetings and Frankston’s civic leader.

However, a facilitator was hired by Frankston Council to try to resolve a bitter divide between councillors backing Cr Rebekah Spelman and those supporting Cr Mayer.

The facilitator, former Kingston mayor Topsy Petchey, failed to resolve the conflict between the factions so Cr Meyer’s election was marked by four councillors, including challenger Cr Rebekah Spelman, voting against her bid for the mayorship.

Crs Glenn Aitken, Brian Cunial, James Dooley and Colin Hampton voted for Cr Mayer to be mayor while crs Michael O’Reilly, Suzette Tayler

and Darrel Taylor publicly backed Cr Spelman, Frankston’s deputy mayor for the past 12 months.

It is the second time Cr Mayer has been mayor, having been elected unanimously in 2013 to the role before Cr Taylor’s 12-month stint. The public five-four split among councillors this time around may signal a turbulent year ahead for Frankston Council.

At Wednesday’s council meeting, Cr Mayer said she had been “a late entry into the race… and this is how it’s ended up.”

“I don’t expect everybody to be happy with the decision but I do hope they will respect what the majority has decided,” she said.

“I really do hope we will all make an effort to work together over the coming year.”

Cr Spelman told The Times she “personally felt capable about my ability to do the job”.

“It’s a shame we have a recycled mayor when there is a new candidate willing to step up,” she said.

Cr Spelman said the opposing five councillors, including the new mayor, had insisted a facilitator be brought in to speak to councillors. She believed it had been a waste of time and money since the outcome had been “predetermined” by the five.

Ballam Park upgrade begun

Rocky start: New Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer narrowly elected by councillors.

A “lack of transparency” had led to some councillors publicly voting against the incoming mayor’s appointment, according to Cr Spelman.

The mayor’s remuneration is about $90,000 per 12-month term.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden advised The Times the cost to hire a facilitator is expected to be about $1400 but an invoice had not yet been received.

Cr Mayer likened council to “a second family” and said councillors occasionally “argue” like many families.

“Second chances are a wonderful thing,” she said.

“I guess I must have done something right last time and I intend to do even better this time.”

Cr Aitken was unanimously elected as deputy mayor at last Wednesday’s meeting.

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

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke claimed there was “no proof” of extra beds being included in the Frankston Hospital expansion when he spoke to ABC host Jon Faine live on air earlier this month (‘Faine visit puts Frankston in the spotlight’, The Times 10/11/14).

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

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

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

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke

Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams

In July last year, when Premier Denis Napthine visited Frankston Hospital to see construction begin on the $80.9 million stage 3 development of the hospital expansion, Peninsula Health stated: “When completed, it will add 92 new beds and a much needed new Emergency Department to the hospital”.

Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams told The Times late last week that

“92 new beds will be coming online this financial year” when asked for comment about Mr Edbrooke’s claim about a lack of extra beds.

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

As part of the move into the new building, older wards will be

“restructured” to “better suit patient care types”, according to Ms Williams.

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE first sod has been turned at the Ballam Park Athletics Centre as part of the $400,000 resurfacing upgrade.

Outgoing Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor said he was very happy to see work starting on this important project which is expected to be completed early next year.

“It’s great to see the work start to deliver improved facilities for the community,” Cr Taylor said.

Federal Liberal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said the track upgrade will ensure the venue can continue to operate long into the future, supporting athletes in the community.

“I am pleased to join Cr Taylor and the athletics community to turn the first sod on this vital community project,” Mr Billson said.

“The Ballam Park Athletics Track is the home of Athletics in Frankston including the Frankston Little Athletics and Athletics Clubs, Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club and the Victorian Masters (Peninsula Division) Club.

“The vital upgrade will ensure athletes of all ages can train, keep fit and healthy and continue to enjoy this great community facility.”

“The Ballam Park Running Track was synthetically surfaced in 19992000 and with more than 10,000 people using it each year, the upgrade is necessary to ensure our elite athletes have a high quality surface to train on.

“The facilities now include an allweather synthetic track with electronic timing and lighting for twilight meetings, club pavilion, modern change rooms and showers, an excellent weight training room, a large function room, throwing and jumping facilities, and equipment and implements for track and field events.

“The surrounding parklands also provide a great place for families to get together and enjoy the outdoors.

“Frankston Council has contributed $200,000 towards the project and I thank Mr Billson and the Federal Government for their support on the project,” Cr Taylor said.

Horrors of Anzac recalled in song Body of Frankston man Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A NEW book about the Anzacs written by a man recently named an Officer of the Order of Australia and a National Living Treasure – will be launched 2-4pm Thursday 27 November at Frankston RSL. The Anzacs 100 Years on in Story and Song, written by Ted Egan, is described as “not a glorification of war, nor the patriotism that led the Anzacs to fight in WWI: It is a recognition of the lives lost, the anguish caused, the sacrifices made. ” The book comes with 20 songs – most written by the author.

In his commemoration of the centenary of Anzac, Egan weaves personal stories and songs into his highly readable history of the encounter, and describes the effect it had on Australia and New Zealand.

He captures the “excitement of the ‘big adventure’, the horrendous reality, the ultimate betrayal by the leaders of the day and the grim legacy of the aftermath”.

It recounts amusing anecdotes and tales of courage and ingenuity mixed with the brutal truth of war.

The soldiers, nurses, politicians, wives and mothers who lost sons, or welcomed them home severely damaged, all feature in the book and songs.

Speaking from Albany, Western Australia, last week, Egan, 82, said there was a lot of interest all over Australia in keeping the Anzac story alive. He is proud of the role played by his professional presentation “on

Honouring Anzac legacy: Ted Egan will launch his book about the Anzacs at Frankston RSL next week.

which I have been working for 20 years”.

“The interest children have today is the proper way of observing Anzac,” he said. “They see glamorous photos and contemplate the lives of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers.

The men are not here in a physical sense, of course, but children can envisage them looking down from Heaven.

“It’s a lovely message for them and

I hope that never dies.”

In contrast, Egan was all too painfully aware of the horrors of war as a child. His mother’s three brothers enlisted and one, stretcher bearer Jack Brennan, 27, never made it back home. His story is told poignantly in the book which combines soldiers’ diaries, letters, 120 photographs and songs.

“I saw the aftermath, with one uncle gassed and one a mental wreck. I saw the returned soldiers begging in the streets, the alcoholics, the men with missing legs driving lifts …

“One should never shy away from the horrors of war.”

Egan was made an AO in 2004 “for contributions to the literary heritage of Australia through song and verse”.

Born in Melbourne in 1932 – but now a long-time resident of the Northern Territory – he is a Master of Arts and was recently awarded an honorary doctorate (D.Litt) by the Charles Darwin University, where he is now completing his PhD on the life and work of the first administrator of the NT, Dr John Gilruth.

Named Territorian of the Year in 2000, Egan was administrator (governor) of the Northern Territory 2003-07, and was recently listed among Australia’s National Living Treasures by the National Trust of Australia.

The performance and book launch – a free event - will be held in the RSL’s Simpson Room. The address is 183 Cranbourne Rd, Frankston.

‘dumped’ at foreshore THE body of a man found in bushes along a walking track in Beaumaris last week has been identified as that of Frankston man Jason Edward Stone, pictured right.

Homicide Squad detectives investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body near Ricketts Point foreshore are treating the death as suspicious.

Police believe Mr Stone’s body may have been dumped at Ricketts Point by someone driving a car.

His body, which was partially covered by branches that appear to have been deliberately placed, was found by a woman walking her dogs along the foreshore bush track.

Mr Stone, 27, was known to police and was due to appear before Frankston Magistrates Court this week to face a range of charges including theft, deception and driving offences.

Detectives are working to establish Mr Stone’s movements leading up to Tuesday and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

They have not been able to track Mr Stone’s movements after 1am on Saturday 8 November. Investigators said they would like to speak to

Shaw preferences not done deal Kids, cars, hot days a deadly combination

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE wait to find out whether Frankston MP Geoff Shaw will preference the Liberal Party above Labor at this month’s state election goes on.

The rebel MP’s preferences could prove to be crucial in deciding which party wins the prized marginal Frankston seat.

A Melbourne-based tabloid newspaper reported last week that the former Liberal, now independent, MP is “likely” to preference the Liberals over Labor but the decision was less clear cut when The Times contacted Mr Shaw’s office late last week.

A spokesman for Mr Shaw said there is no preferences agreement with the Liberal Party two weeks out from the election.

“As occurs around this time before an election, talks are being had with other candidates about their preference plans but decisions are still yet to be made and finalised,” the spokesman said.

When asked what the Liberal Party would have to promise for the area for a preference swap to be agreed, the spokesman said “anything that the Liberal Party wants to secure for Frankston is entirely up to them.”

Mr Shaw is unlikely to have enough support to retain the seat of Frankston outright but he could ultimately be a ‘kingmaker’ with his preferences determining whether Liberal candidate Sean Armistead or Labor candidate Paul Edbrooke becomes Frankston’s next member of parliament.

While Mr Shaw may have less than

Let there be lights: MP Geoff Shaw with Frankston Dolphins general manager Simon Green, left, and former general manager Bryan Mace, right, at Frankston oval.

a sporting chance to claim victory on 29 November, some sports clubs have been fulsome in their praise for the controversial MP. Frankston Dolphins general manager Simon Green said “Geoff has been a wonderful support for the Frankston Football Club during his tenure as state representative, and for sport in general all throughout the region, for that matter.”

Mr Green made the observation when Mr Shaw visited Frankston oval last week to call on any incoming state government to pledge $200,000 towards a stadium lighting upgrade to enable the club to host night games for various age groups and competitions.

“This is extremely exciting for the club moving forward, and will provide a wonderful opportunity for the local leagues to promote their competitions and draw greater support from the wider community,” Mr Green said.

Mr Shaw noted “Frankston Oval is a truly iconic ground which brings tens of thousands of visitors into Frankston throughout the year”.

“We will see more juniors from Frankston pursuing their sporting dreams,” he said.

“Over the last four years, my team and I have secured almost $3.1 million in state government funding for a dozen different sporting clubs and associations throughout Frankston.”

don’t seem to understand the deadly risks involved,” he said. “Tragically, there have been cases of children dying in hot cars in Victoria in recent years.”

He said being left in a hot car could quickly become life threatening for babies and young children as they can’t regulate their body temperature as adults can.

“It doesn’t have to be a scorching hot day for the car to quickly heat up,” he said. “Tests have found that even on a 29-degree day the inside of a car can reach 44 degrees within 10 minutes and 60 degrees within 20 minutes.

“You wouldn’t get out of the car after shopping and leave your ice cream in the back seat, so why would you leave your children there?”

The officers said it was also common for keys to be accidentally locked in cars with a child. About a quarter of cases occurred outside a house. We urge parents to be mindful and keep keys in their hand while they are getting children and shopping in and out of the car.”

The figures reveal:  1275 people locked in cars in the 12 months. It’s estimated 1165 of those were under-13.  November-March are the busiest months, with an average of four calls per day  42 per cent of calls involving children under-13 occurred between 11am-3pm  More than two thirds of calls were to car parks, streets or public places  25 per cent of calls occurred at home.

The maximum fine for leaving a child in a car has been increased to $3690.

FRANKSTON has the dubious honour of having the second highest number of children left unattended in cars in the Melbourne metropolitan area over the past 12 months.

That figure – 23 – trails Pakenham on 30 and equals Cranbourne’s 23. Narre Warren had 21 and Mornington 11.

Ambulance Victoria paramedics are disappointed at the 10 per cent increase.

They describe the incidents as a mix of “deliberate or careless acts”.

The officers responded to 1165 cases of children under-13 locked in cars in the period. It’s estimated around 100 more calls were for teenagers or adults accidentally locked in cars.

Children under four were the subject of 85 per cent of calls to Ambulance Victoria reporting “someone’s locked in a car” from 1 September last year to 31 August this year. From December last year to March this year an average of four calls a day were made to triple zero reporting an incident. That number peaked at 13 in one day during the January heatwave.

The alarming figures have promoted a warning from paramedics, with the mercury hitting 34-degrees in Melbourne last Thursday and 40-degrees in Mildura. On that day, paramedics were called to cases of children locked in cars at Hastings, Ferntree Gully, Malvern East, East Geelong and Epping.

Ambulance Victoria group manager Brett Drummond said leaving children in a hot car could prove deadly. “People

Tough readers: Understanding arthritis helped author Nicky Johnston, left, write a book about children who have the condition.

Sharing pain to ease strain

DEADLINE FOR NEXT ISSUE: 1PM ON THURSDAY 20 NOVEMBER 2014 NEXT ISSUE PUBLICATION DATE: MONDAY 24 NOVEMBER 2014

READING her story to her “toughest audience” – and getting their approval – convinced children’s author Nicky Johnston that she was onto something.

Now her book The Worst Pain in the World, about how arthritis affects the children she has written about, has been hailed a success by Arthritis Victoria.

The author and illustrator has written three books dealing with anxiety in children. Her first, Go Away Mr Worrythoughts!, was highly successful – and for the past four years Frankston Arts Centre has produced it as a theatrical production touring and educating primary school pupils.

Two years ago she was approached by Arthritis Victoria to create a book for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, which can affect youngsters as young as four.

While doing her research last year, Johnston attended Camp Limber Up at Marysville and ran sessions with the

children. “I spoke to them at great length about their illness and the impact it was having on their lives,” she said.

“I had written two concept stories and knew immediately which one would become the final book. I worked closely with families and children throughout the book’s development and feel I have been able to really touch a core issue for children living with JIA.” The book was launched by Arthritis Victoria CEO Linda Martin at this year’s Camp Limber Up and is regarded as a “resource not only for children and families with JIA, but also friends, teachers, schools and medical profession”.

“JIA is more common than many people realise. It is not just an ‘old person’s condition.”

The illustrated book offers practical advice for children living with pain – not just arthritis. It also gives children not living with pain an understanding of what their friends or family are going through.

Major station upgrade promised

Continued from Page 1 The Frankston Community Coalition has been highlighting the fact that former Liberal transport minister Ray Meagher promised a new Frankston transport hub in 1975 which was never built.

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

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

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

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

Labor said “a permanent police beat within the

precinct” will also be introduced “to clamp down on drug activity and crime”.

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

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

Incumbent independent MP Geoff Shaw, elected as a Liberal candidate in 2010, welcomed both parties’ pledge to invest in Frankston’s future.

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

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

Elderly man loses $14,000 to gang of ‘tradie’ conmen

Leading the way: Health Minister David Davis meets with Peninsula Health nurse unit manager Trish O’Neill and registered nurse Vanessa Rees at Frankston Hospital last week.

Research key to future health PENINSULA Health affirmed its commitment to enhancing its position at the forefront of cutting edge medical research during a research conference held at Frankston Hospital last week.

Health Minister David Davis told the more than 80 medical research experts, clinicians and guests assembled at the hospital for the launch the Celebrating Research conference that medical research was now one Victoria’s most important industries.

Mr Davis said recognition of the sometimes unacknowledged work of researchers was crucial to building Melbourne’s expanding global reputation as a research hub and to Peninsula Health’s role as a leading healthcare provider..

“Research is integral to the continuous improvement of the care that the clinicians at Peninsula Health provide to the community,” Mr Davis said.

He said Celebrating Research provided an opportunity to highlight the valuable research undertaken by clinicians across the Mornington Peninsula at Peninsula Health’s cam-

puses at Frankston, Mornington and Rosebud, in partnership with Monash University. As a teaching health service, links with Monash University have contributed to the growth of Peninsula Health’s research program, with more than 550 clinicians and students having participated since 2007.

The joint appointment of Dr Virginia Plummer between Monash University and Peninsula Health had further enhanced the linking of research projects between the facilities and clinicians,” Minister Davis said.

Peninsula Health chairwoman Nancy Hogan said the relationship would be further enhanced by the recent endorsement by the board of a dedicated research plan.

She said the research plan would foster strong links with other research bodies as well as providing strategic direction and scope to the research capabilities of the organisation.

The Mornington Peninsula’s ageing population and escalating incidence of chronic disease meant it was vital health services continued to evolve in in line with the needs of the community, she said.

POLICE have warned Frankston residents to be on the lookout for a gang of “travelling conmen” after an elderly man was scammed out of $14,000.

Police said the 70-year-old man was convinced to have his gutters replaced by a group of three men who appeared at his door posing as tradesmen about 9.30am last Monday.

Detective Senior Constable Richard Brown from Frankston crime investigation unit said the bogus tradesmen requested a $6000 advance payment, which the victim handed over, then promised to return in the morning.

“The following morning, the men returned and appeared to be working on the roof until around 10.30am, at which time the main offender approached the victim saying they would require a further $8000 for more materials,” Detective Brown said.

“The victim drove to the bank and withdrew another $8000, which he handed to the main offender, who then told him ‘close the front door tightly beacause there is going to be a lot of dust’.

The victim closed the door as re-

quested. Five minutes later, he looked outside and saw that they had gone.

The old guttering was still lying on the grass out the front.”

The main offender, who spoke with an Irish or Scottish accent, was described as being aged about 30, 185cm tall, with short red hair, and wearing a bright red hi-visibility vest.

No description of the other two men was provided.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Correction

LAST week’s article ‘Faine visit puts Frankston in spotlight’ (The Times 10/11/14) reported ABC radio host Jon Faine accused Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead of playing “bullshit bingo”. This was, in fact, bullshit. Faine actually accused Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke of playing “bullshit bingo” when Mr Edbrooke responded to questions about cleaning up Kananook Creek. Mr Edbrooke said he “would consult with stakeholders in regards to Kananook Creek” which prompted Faine to make the “bullshit bingo” comment. The Times regrets the error and is happy to correct the record.

‘Proud’ mayor takes his leave Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Tireless: Cr Darrel Taylor was praised by all his fellow councillors for his dedication in representing Frankston while he was mayor. Picture: Gary Sissons

OUTGOING Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor has urged Frankston residents to “be proud” of the city as he wrapped up his 12-month term as mayor at a council meeting last Wednesday evening.

The 46-year-old father of twin daughters thanked his wife Jane and his family, friends and colleagues for their support during his term as mayor.

In an at times emotional speech, Cr Taylor looked back fondly on his year as mayor.

“Even though the year has gone quickly it has certainly been a very busy, exciting and at times interesting one,” he said.

“I stated in my mayoral acceptance speech that I could guarantee the people of Frankston that they would get 110 per cent from me for the time I was in the role - I do believe I have remained true to that pledge.”

Cr Taylor said he had attended about 1000 engagements and meetings, given more than 200 media interviews and delivered 107 speeches as mayor.

He said he had worked, on average, about 65 hours per week.

“This campaign has really shone the light on Frankston and I do believe it is the best campaign ever run by any council in Victoria,” he said.

“It is now up to the parties to listen to the people of Frankston and once and for all deliver.”

The opening of the $49 million Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre, known as the PARC, “on time and on budget” was another major

achievement for council, according to Cr Taylor.

Councillors praised Cr Taylor for his tireless efforts to promote Frankston while mayor. Cr Taylor sought preselection as the Liberal candidate for Frankston for the state election, but missed out.

Councillors noted Cr Taylor had been “apolitical” when pushing Frankston’s case for its fair share of state government funding.

“However, the biggest achievements for me wasn’t negotiating multimillion dollar settlements, announcing the construction of expensive infrastructure or opening nice buildings,” Cr Taylor said.

“It has been the little things I have done to assist people that result in making a big difference someone’s life.”

Cr Taylor’s voice cracked and he shed a tear as he described “presenting Terrence Philips, a quadriplegic, who has worked tirelessly at Orwell House as a volunteer for over 20 years with community service award. He was so thrilled to be recognised by the council and it was so deserving.”

He enjoyed helping the Fab 50’s Swimming Club move from Jubilee Park to the new PARC by assisting them to secure funding from PARC and funding from Council and their members to make PARC “their new home”.

“We also involved them in the opening and closing ceremonies which they found an absolute honour and a delight and still thank me whenever I see them,” Cr Taylor said.

“It is all of these little things,

making a call or facilitating a meeting that has assisted so many people, who were so grateful and attracted a lot of recognition,” he said.

“I classify these things as the best part of the mayoral role and my biggest achievements. Connecting people and changing lives.”

The former Royal Australian Infantry Corps member also cited “the commencement of the detailed designs for the new war memorial” for Beauty Park as something council could be proud about.

External perceptions of Frankston are changing for the better despite stereotyping by many who had not visited the city.

“I met a lot of people from other communities outside of Frankston, including from interstate and from overseas,” Cr Taylor said.

“I received very few negative comments about Frankston from those who knew of or had visited Frankston.

In fact, during the year, the over whelming majority of the time the comments I received were nothing but positive and complimentary.

“I firmly believe the perception of Frankston is changing. Why wouldn’t it? Look at where we live and the lifestyle we have. I believe there will be a lot of change in Frankston over the next 5-7 years. Frankston is on the move.

“I wish to say to all of the residents of Frankston: be proud as we have a lot to be proud about.

“Stand tall because before long people will envy you once you tell them you live the premier bayside suburb of Frankston.”

Life’s a beach for boat shed buyers Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au IT’S that time of the year again: beach fun in the summer sun, sparkling seas and – if you are lucky – your own boat shed.

Some beach-going families couldn’t do without their mini homes by the water and sales are picking up with a reported 20 bathing boxes for sale, several along the Mornington and Mt Martha foreshores.

Many have been in the same families for generations, passing down through children’s children and filling with dinghies, fishing gear, beach toys and shade umbrellas.

Asking prices vary, too – much like houses - from the low $30,000s to more than $230,000, depending on the size, location and beach chutzpah.

One, at 50 South Beach, Mt Martha, is on the market for $238,000. The August sale of a shed at North Beach fetched $185,000-$195,000. Another, smaller shed at Mills Beach, Mornington, is “seeking an offer” of $30,000.

The price for the unpowered 18.87 square metre Mt Martha boat shed will equate to $12,600 a square metre if a buyer can be tempted to match the asked-for price.

Abode Real Estate agent Paul Brown is sure “common ground” will be reached between a keen potential buyer and the owners, adding confidently: “It’ll sell.”

“The bathing box and boat shed market is very seasonal. When the overall property market is slow they tend to come onto the market, possibly to provide liquidity to the vendors.

Often they change hands in cash transactions, which is very attractive to a vendor.”

He said some people “sell their box and then regret losing that luxury” while others – perhaps older ‘downsizers’ – are happy to see them go to young families who will use them more frequently.

Nicholas Lynch agent Leanne Williams passed-in a fully furnished boat shed at Rosebud for $65,000 last week.

It is now on the market for $80,000.

She said potential buyers were showing interest – with one in the mix bidding from Tasmania.

“The appeal of the sheds is the lifestyle option they offer,” she said.

“You can store everything you need for down the beach.”

Ms Williams should know: she set a record price for the sale of her own – powered - boat shed at Dromana: $205,500.

It’s not just buy-and-forget, either: the new owners have to factor in swags of other fees and charges, depending on the location. These may include transfer fees on either the shed’s capital improved value or the sale price, GST and foreshore improvement charges, as well as rates.

“You don’t find many first home buyers looking at boat sheds,” she said. “They are normally passed down through families or they are bought by couples over 50 whose kids have left home. They are a discretionary purchase; you can’t borrow against them.”

Mornington agent Conley Luff has three bathing boxes on the market.

Sales agent Rod Morahan said they were ideal for those with growing

families living away from the beach.

“You can store all your gear inside without having to load up the car every time you head down to the beach.”

He cited box No. 9 at Mills Beach, priced at $155,000. At 3.8 by 2.7

metres it has plenty of room for family and friends, as well as a 2.7 by 2.4 metre slide-out deck.

Another – at No. 34 Shire Hall beach - is all dressed up in Australia Day colours. The two by two metre box has a deck overlooking the boat

harbour and pier. The vendors are asking $100,000.

A colourful bathing box at No. 77 Fisherman’s Beach measures three by 1.8 metres and has a 1.2 metre covered deck. The asking price is $150,000 negotiable.

Does you family or children suffer from Eczema or sensitive skin?

Rising to the challenge CLOSE to 2000 participants traversed the 6.7 kilometre course from Rosebud to Seawinds Gardens last Sunday in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date.

Event ambassador, Commonwealth Games Marathon runner Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course to the top of Arthurs Seat.

The annual event, sponsored by Fit2Drive, aims to raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes.

The weather for this year’s event was perfect for running or walking up the steep summit, which at its peak has a testing 9.5 degree gradient and 3 kilometre uphill climb.

The one saving grace for competitors is the stunning view of over Port Phillip.

Once again, there were some impressive results, with Craig Appleby, above left, first over the line in a mere 25 minutes and 15 seconds.

Appleby glided over the line with a decent gap between himself and second placegetter, Cameron Hall, who is a previous winner of the event.

The first woman to the finish line was Rebecca Rosel, above right, who looked strong as she charged up the hill to cross in a time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Twins, Elly and Sarah Jackson took second and third place for the women’s overall with times of 30 minutes 30 seconds and 30 minutes 59 seconds respectively.

A chlorine free swimming pool that’s free of odours and taste, soft and gentle on the skin - what’s more, no shower required after swimming. Just like a refreshing swim in a natural spring.

Great news for swimmers, people with allergies and asthma, the environment and the pool itself.

• Chlorine & salt free • Outstanding water clarity • Fully automated sanitisation and pH control • Minimal maintenance • Water saving

The dynamic duo are still juniors, and as such also took out first and second place in the under 18s female category.

Other noteworthy efforts included Liam Hemingway, who was crowned under 18 male champion and Brodie Lynch, who came in second in the under 18s and took the title in the under 15 male category.

Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes on star of show FRANKSTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Christmas Festival of Lights on Saturday 29 November will feature a huge line-up of performers.

The headliners include Harrison Craig (winner of The Voice 2013) and The Australian Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choir.

But the main star of the annual event, held near the corner of Davey and Young streets, is a special guest who travels all the way from the North Pole to join in the fun every year: Santa Claus. Now, in the 17th year of the Christmas Festival of Lights, the big question is: how will Santa arrive? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years, Santa has shown that he loves to keep things exciting by arriving in new and unexpected ways,â&#x20AC;? Frankston City CEO Dennis Hovenden said.

In 2010 he came by limousine, in 2011 by tractor, in 2012 by train, last year on a double decker bus â&#x20AC;Ś and this year?

Families attending the festival on 29 November will find out on the night. They should arrive early at the festival site to get a good vantage point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to seeing his grand arrival this year,â&#x20AC;?

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

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

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

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

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

For those chasing snapper, the once elusive ling

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

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

At this time of year, fishing options around the Peninsula are almost endless â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it all comes down to "what floats your boat".

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

Everywhere from St Kilda to Mt Martha has produced.

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

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

Until next week, tight lines and calm seas. ď Ž Paul â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trackerâ&#x20AC;? Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

You can call off the search THE great Australian dream of the house and quarter acre block has never looked so stylish or been more affordable than this picturesque property in tranquil Bittern. A beautiful decor announces itself with subtle touches rather than grand overwhelming statements, and the polished floorboards throughout are sensational. A bright and engaging formal lounge room has several nooks to establish pleasant sitting or study spaces, and also in this front end are the main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, and a second bedroom ideal for a nursery or home office. A splendid kitchen is the centrepiece of the family zone, set towards the rear of the home. A big wrap around bench has feature splashbacks and incorporates the dishwasher, there is a corner pantry, and recessed into the wall is a stainless-steel oven. Comfortable dining and family areas sit either side and down the hall are two more bedrooms with built-in robes that share the main bathroom. A smart laundry has plenty of storage options. With the warmer months coming, the covered rear deck with outdoor kitchen and Coonara woodheater add another dimension to the property and will greatly accentuate the available living space.

Surrounded by scoria landscaping and plenty of greenery, the extensive decking runs around two sides of the home and from here you can easily keep an eye on the activities in the enormous backyard. A double garage is set at the top of a semi-circle driveway, and the adjoining parking bays and through-access to the backyard will accommodate several vehicles. A choice of excellent beaches in Somers and Balnarring are a short drive away, as are primary schools, shops, bus and rail transport.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

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

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

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

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

The great solider was in his 83rd year.

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

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

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

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

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

Did you know... you can view our papers online

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

My experiences deconstructing degustation

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

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

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

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

Granted, it’s an odd turn of phrase.

Truly, who would ever empty a bath

PAGE 34

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

Frankston Times 17 November 2014

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

about remembering what made something special in the first place.

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

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

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

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

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

Then I saw it – Pavlova.

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

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

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

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

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

KNOWLEDGE FEST AT PHILLIP ISLAND’S SMALL FARM + LIFESTYLE EXPO THIS weekend’s (Nov 22/23) Small Farm + Lifestyle Expo at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit promises to be a knowledge fest on all things rural! The inaugural expo, to be held Saturday and Sunday, November 22 and 23, will feature over 100 exhibitions and speakers from Landcare, the Bass Coast Shire, the farming community and Phillip Island Nature Park Reserve.

Landcare will speak both days on rural issues like soil salinity, native vegetation, control of vermin and sustainable farming practices; while Bass Coast Shire will share news on planning and development, their vision for the area, growth initiatives and tourism.

The wildlife rangers from the Phillip Island Nature Park will address expo-goers on the interaction between farming communities and the reserves, and farming and wildlife; while Phillip Island farmer, Ian McFee, will speak on managing a small farm efficiently.

“We really want to ensure our visitors walk away well-armed and aware of the resources available in the local community,” said circuit managing director, Fergus Cameron, whose family has farmed the region for three generations.

“There’s been a lot of changes in agricultural practices in the last decade and this Expo is designed

to bring the experts together so that over the two days our visitors get answers to their questions on rural life.”

All presentations will be held in the Motorsport Expo Building surrounded by over 100 Expo exhibitors many discussing animals to run on small properties like sheep, alpacas and poultry.

Many real life farmers feature in the speaker lineup, happy to tell with good humour and candidness how they made their dream of a rural lifestyle a reality, and the ups and downs of the journey.

Grantville’s Phil Westwood from FreeRanger Eggs, will speak on successful poultry farming on

small landholdings; while Anna Kilborn from ECube, who grazes beef and sheep in the Strzelecki Ranges, runs a business advising clients on environmental practices and has plenty of advice to share.

“I have many funny stories about the rural lifestyle experience. I’m happy to tell you of my adventure, warts and all, and the lessons I’ve learnt along the way,” Anna said.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of agriculture. The Warragul Poultry Club stand will provide information on the various breeds of poultry, feeding and equipment for chooks, chook health, care of chooks and chickens and the role of chooks in sustainable agriculture.

“We’ll also have a petting zoo for the children,” says Kevin Collins from Warragul Poultry Club who will have a display of eight different chooks that can be patted and petted.

“We’ll have Daisy, our little white Australian Langshan, a hen and her baby chicks, a duck and her little ducklings and two of the only four Australian pure breeds of poultry.”

Chooktred and Suburban Chooks will also be talking about all things chooky, while Grand Ridge Sheep Stud will provide information on sheep and Pakenham Produce has the latest on

ENTERTAINMENT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the Sun Sets Over Carlton:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

berg said “never more than now”.

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

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

By Gary Turner

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By Cliff Ellen Reproduction’s study of 20,000 people disclosed on average men have sex with 18 women in a lifetime.

Exciting news. I thought I was past it, but apparently there’s another 17 beautiful females out there waiting for me. Unless they happen to be Green voters? Sometimes it’s appropriate (in public) to be loose with the truth. *** COMEDY: Senator the Hon George Brandis QC is Minister for the Arts?

Funnier: Direct Action Plan? Hilarious: Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog... Drama is the opposition of two sides that are right, or else conflict doesn’t amount to anything...I adored Jane’s weather reports on ABC News...I plonked heavily on 4, 13 & 22 in the Melbourne Cup, bringing to 58 the number of losing bets since 1956; Evening Peal...eHarmony.com. au might be the go for me; it’s still Spring after all...The mushroom syndrome applies-keep them in the dark and feed them fertiliser...It’s the Government who needs watching, not the people, aided and abetted by a morning newspaper....hooroo...cliffie9@ bigpond.com

Baxter sitting pretty at the top PROVINCIAL

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

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

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

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

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

At one stage Rye was 5/17.

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

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

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

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

rolling the home side for just 137.

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

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

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

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

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

AJ King is in scintillating form this

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

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

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

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

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

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

on the ropes when they resumed at 1/9.

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

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

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

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

Hillmen earn a tough win DISTRICT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PAGE 42

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boneo fell well short, bowled out for 143.

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

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

Seaford Tigers were touched-up

by Baden Powell.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Skye skipper and keeper Rob Gruer

top scored for his side with 26.

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

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

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

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

Pearcedale was 5/87 at one stage and

then fell to 7/143.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE has finally signed a new coach.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aaron Findlay signed with The Basin on Thursday night.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Driving force: Overall winner, James Rutter, being presented with a trophy by then mayor, Antonella Celi.

polo shirts throughout the week.

There was also a hectic social program as part of the MP Golf Classic – The Welcome Party at Sorrento Golf Club, complete with jazz musicians; a superb Gala Food and Wine Dinner at the One Chef’s Hat Flinders Hotel (attended by five well-known local winemakers) and the local produce themed Celebrity Dinner at Eagle Ridge. Diners at the Celebrity Dinner experienced the best of golfing talent anywhere – Peter Thomson AO (five times British Open winner), Ross Perrett (golf course architect) and golf professional David Good and Leon Wiegard was the

very entertaining MC. Many golfers managed to also take in the many other attractions of the Mornington Peninsula by visiting a number of the wineries, the Peninsula Hot Springs, the Archibald Prize as well as sampling the great cafés. Some golfers were also keen enough to play other courses.

Frankston Times 17 November 2014

THE all-new Kia Sorento made its European premiere in Paris in October, exhibiting a unique blend of style, practicality and technology, which builds on the success of the outgoing model.

The new’s SUV’s smoother, swept-back profile and deeply sculpted surfaces introduce a higher level of sophistication for the third-generation model, delivering a premium look and feel, with more space and numerous innovative features.

The designers of the third generation Kia Sorento named their inspiration for the new car as ‘Streetwolf’. Although the styling changes are evolutionary, they subtly alter the character of the new Sorento, highlighting its sleek, sinuous, profile, while creating a sophisticated appearance and ensuring the new model has a bolder on-the-road presence.

The front of the new Sorento incorporates long, wrap-around headlamps and more prominent fog-lamps, as well as a larger, more upright ‘tiger-nose’ grille, with a distinctive three-dimensional diamond pattern, first featured on the 2013 Kia Cross GT concept.

In profile, the new model retains the Sorento’s hallmark long bonnet and characteristic wide D-pillar, but a lower roofline, higher beltline and swept-back shape give the car a more dramatic, muscular stance.

The rear of the car features more prominent ‘shoulders’ and a highly sculpted registration plate surround. The latter is made possible by the introduction of new laser welding manufacturing techniques - a first for a Kia model - which renders weld lines invisible, meaning the Sorento can do without the traditional (jointmasking) garnish on the tailgate.

The sleeker look of the new Sorento is enhanced by its increased length (+95 mm to 4,780 mm), reduced height (down 15 mm to 1,685

mm) and extra width (+5 mm to 1,890 mm).

The exterior styling of the new car was led

by Kia’s Namyang design studio in Korea, with significant input from the brand’s Frankfurt, Germany and Irvine, California design studios.

Inside the all-new Sorento is where some of the most significant improvements are to be found. Interior styling was led by the brand’s European design team, based in Frankfurt, and Kia’s designers have created a more sophisticated, more luxurious cabin, featuring significantly higher quality materials.

The styling of the cabin follows a ‘modern and wide’ theme, providing the interior with a stable, horizontal layout and appearance. This width is echoed in the wider instrument cluster, interior garnish and the wrap-around shape of the dashboard which extends into the door trims.

A higher proportion of soft-touch materials and leather creates a modern luxury feel to the cabin and gives the new Sorento a genuine premium vehicle ambience.

One of the most distinctive interior styling features is the Swiss watch-inspired user interface, which incorporates Kia’s latest HMI (human-machine interface) technologies, surrounded by new silver-look border.

The flowing contours of the dashboard rise to incorporate the driver’s instrument binnacle, while the smoothly-styled design curve in the doors, which leads from the audio speakers up to the SUV-style grab handles, also endows the cabin with a more luxurious, sophisticated appearance.

Customers will be able to specify the interior in either single-tone (black) or two-tone (black and stone beige) colour schemes with cloth or leather trim. Additionally, brown or light gray colour schemes in leather trim will be offered as an option.
