‘Some say money is power, but I think people are powerful too.’

By Jo WinterbottomKINGSTON rate payers face a rise of 4.55 per cent in municipal rates and charges for 2013-14.

A proposed rates rise of 5.1 per cent is moderated by no increase in the waste and recycling charge and the municipal charge remaining sta-ble at $100 per rateable property.

Kingston Council’s draft budget for 2013/14 was released for public comment on Monday 14 May.

The council’s long term plan had forecast a rise of 4.95 per cent in rates and charges but mayor Ron Brownlees said councillors insisted on clawing it back to 4.55 per cent.

In neighbouring Bayside City

Council the proposed rate rise is 3.5 per cent, while Mornington Peninsu-la Shire is planning a rate rise of 5.9 per cent, plus an increase of $20 in its municipal charge.

The proposed increases are all well above the forecast rise in the con-sumer price index of 2.5 per cent for 2013-14.

Frankston and Greater Dandenong municipalities are yet to release their draft budgets.

Like all other Victorian munici-palities, Kingston will collect the new Fire Services Property Levy with rates for the fi rst time in 2013-14. Cr Brownlees said residential property owners would pay between

$135 and $160 on average. The levy is collected on behalf of the state government and does not contribute to council revenue, but Kingston will save $1 million under the new sys-tem because it is no longer required to contribute this amount to the Met-ropolitan Fire Brigade.

ClarificationClarificationLAST edition’s page 1 article ‘Bullying’ report ructions’ could be seen as infer-ring that Kingston Council CEO John Nevins mishandled bullying allegations.

The article stated that Mr Nevins had stepped aside from further involvement in the handling of bullying allegations and the STOPLine Report, when in fact he stepped aside from managing a com-plaint relating to the timing and content of a media release that he issued in Oc-tober 2012.

Mr Nevins did this of his own accord with the “full confi dence” of council on the basis that he himself was the subject of the complaint.

Subsequent legal advice regarding the complaint found “that the CEO has acted in accordance with the Local Gov-ernment Act”.

KINGSTON Libraries is taking part in this year’s National Simultaneous Storytime event. The annual cam-paign is organised by the Australian Library and Information Association to encourage young children to read and enjoy books.

A picture book written and illustrat-ed by an Australian author is chosen each year to be read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, bookshops, chil-dren’s hospitals and family homes. This year’s selection is The Wrong Book by Nick Bland.

The Wrong Book, the tale of Nicho-las Ickle’s attempt to tell a story while his book is invaded by characters from other books, will be read at all Kingston libraries on Wednesday 22 May at 11am.

Over 380,000 children at more than 2000 locations across Australia took part in last year’s National Simultane-ous Storytime.

National Simultaneous Storytime is part of Library and Information Week from 20 to 26 May.

Call Kingston Libraries on 1300 135 668 or visit www.kingstonlibrar-ies.net for information about events during Library and Information Week.

Continued from Page 1Kingston will continue to offer an

$80 rate rebate to pensioners, on top of state government pensioner rebates.

“Council has worked hard to fi nd a balance between a reasonable level of rate revenue and maintaining and en-hancing service delivery,” Cr Brown-lees said.

The $173 million draft budget in-cludes $44.5 million in capital works, $5.3 million of which is unfi nished projects carried forward from 2012-13. Major spending includes $4.8 mil-lion on road improvements, $3.8 mil-lion on drainage and fl ood mitigation, $1.5 million on footpaths, $2.6 on the Edithvale Children’s Hub, $2 million to redevelop Bert Thomas Pavilion

at Edithvale Recreation Reserve and $891,000 to extend the pavilion at Heatherton Recreation Reserve. The only new borrowing in the draft budg-et is $3 million to begin work on the Parkdale Community Hub.

New capital funding for kindergar-tens includes $1.7 million for the relo-cation of Kallay Street Preschool and $875,000 for expansion of Terrigal Drive Preschool (on top of $500,000 in last year’s budget).

In his summary of the draft budget Kingston CEO John Nevins identi-fi ed a backlog in the maintenance of council-owned assets and said there was “an immediate need to spend $22 million to bring all assets up to a satis-factory standard”.

“Council is refocusing its capitals works program to place a higher em-phasis on asset renewal rather than the creation of new assets or the upgrade of existing assets,” he said.

The draft budget anticipates collect-ing a total of $112.7 million in rates and charges, which comprises about 65 per cent of total council revenue.

Mr Nevins forecast an increased re-liance on rates as government grants and user fees and charges decrease over coming years.

“Continued cost shifting from other levels of government also requires council to try and achieve new rev-enue from its own sources,” he said.

Kingston’s staff of 822 full-time equivalent employees will remain

constant, but the cost of paying their wages and entitlements will increase by $3.4 million to $68.2 million.

The draft budget is available to view at council customer service cen-tres and libraries and on the council website at www.kingston.vic.gov.au/link/budget

A public information session will be held at the council offi ces at 1230 Ne-pean Highway, Cheltenham, at 6pm on Wednesday 29 May.

Written submissions on the draft budget will be received until 5pm on Wednesday 12 June by mail to Ber-nard Byrden, Manager of fi nance, Kingston City Council, PO Box 1000, Mentone 3194, or by email at [email protected]

THE Coroners Court of Victoria, Melbourne University and beyondblue will examine 1000 suicides to try to save the lives of people who may be at risk in the future.

On average, 550 Victorians die from suicide each year, almost double the Victorian road toll in 2012.

The study into suicides between 2009 and 2010 will identify the frequency and nature of any contact people had with health, housing and other services such as police, ambulance and health professionals before they died.

“Any suicide is a tragic event and we know that in the lead-up to their deaths, many people who take their lives often have contact with services or other agencies that act as pathways to health services,” beyondblue CEO Kate Arnell said.

“Understanding the pathways means agencies can help improve outcomes for at-risk people who often experience depression or anxiety.

“If the data reveals a pattern among at-risk people accessing certain services, we can help ensure staff at those agencies intervene if they notice other people on similar pathways.”

State coroner Judge Ian Gray said the study would provide crucial information for coroners investigating suicide deaths.

By Mike HastTHE Frankston train line received $100 million in the state Budget on Tuesday 7 May for track and station improvements.

The cash was announced on Sunday 5 May at Bentleigh station by Premier Denis Napthine who was accompanied by Trans port Minister Terry Mulder, Coa lition MPs including Donna Bauer of Carrum and Lorraine Wreford of Mordialloc, and transport bosses.

The money, to be spent over three years, will pay for: Track and signalling upgrades so the line can take the newer X’Trapolis trains. Live information for passengers about connecting trains, buses and trams. Station upgrades including better lighting and extended platform cano-pies to provide protection from wet weather. Extra CCTV at several stations and extra Myki readers. Disability access improvements.

The cash injection is seen as an at-tempt by the Liberal-Nationals Coali-tion government to hold on to marginal seats on the train line that it took from Labor at the 2010 election.

After the election, commentators said dis grunt led train users annoyed over poor services punished the Brumby government in 2010 by help-ing oust the ALP’s Rob Hudson (seat of Bentleigh), Janice Munt (Mordi-alloc), Jenny Lindell (Carrum) and Alistair Harkness (Frankston).

The seats were won by Elizabeth Mil ler, Lorraine Wreford, Donna Bau-er and Geoff Shaw.

Their razor-thin, two-party preferred margins are, respectively, 0.75 per cent, 2.04 per cent, 2.07 per cent and 2.07 per cent.

Money for the line would also help a Coalition campaign for the seat of Frankston, held by Mr Shaw, who quit the parliamentary Liberal Party in ear-ly March and is now an independent.

Dr Napthine said train services on the line would be “dras tically improved” by “upgrades and maintenance work on the Frankston line”.

“The ... line is one of the busiest on the network, carrying about 60,000 passengers each weekday,” Dr Nap-thine said.

The upgrades would “allow the ne w-est and most popular X’Trapolis trains to run on this line, which will be of enormous benefi t to residents in the southeast”.

The French-designed trains can only run on six lines – Alamein, Glen Waverley, Belgrave, Lilydale, Hurst-bridge and South Morang.

Signals would be realigned on the Frank ston line to bring them into X’Trapolis drivers’ line of sight, he said.

Transport Minister Terry Mulder said the Frankston line was in excep-tionally poor condition because of the previous government.

“Under Labor, Frankston line ... punc tuality was just 65.5 per cent in June 2010,” he said. “In the past year, punctuality ... has vastly increased to 91.2 per cent.”

Frankston line stations would re ceive passenger information screens that dis-play real time updates for trains, trams and buses, “providing improved infor-

mation for commuters as they arrive at stations”, he said.

Carrum MP Donna Bauer, a City of Kingston councillor before her election in 2010, said the state of the Frankston line was an election issue and “many constituents voiced their concerns”.

She said the government had “an-noun ced orders for 15 new X’Trapolis trains since the November 2010 elec-tion”.

Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford, a City of Casey councillor before win-ning the seat, said the community “was rightfully appalled by the state of the Frankston line in recent years”.

The government had made “sev-eral infrastructure improvements” and the punctuality rate was much better. “However, the line needs this boost to take the next step,” she said.

Labor MP Jude Perera, whose elec-torate of Cranbourne includes parts of Frankston City, was skeptical about the news: “The Liberal government previ-ously claimed it had fi xed public trans-port but the reality is commuters are squashed into train services daily, and face constant delays and can cellations.

“Dr Napthine has failed to stop the haemorrhaging of Victoria’s public trans port and has simply provided Band-Aid solutions.”

He said the government had “failed to meet public transport users’ ex-pectations and the benchmark set by the Auditor-General for investment in public transport”.

“Frankston line commuters will be waiting a long time under this go-vernment before they see any real bene fi t to services despite the spin from Dr Napthine.”

Rail cash bolsters marginal MPsRail cash bolsters marginal MPs

Train with a strange nameTrain with a strange nameTHE newer trains slated for an upgraded Frankston line, the X’Trapolis, have been running on some Melbourne metropolitan lines since 2002. They replaced the Hitachi silver trains.

The single-deck X’Trapolis (pictured), designed by French company Alstom, operates in Melbourne and Valparaiso in Chile.

Victorian governments have ordered fi ve lots in 11 years with building occurring in France and fi nal assembly and fi t-out in Ballarat.

Metro Trains operate 148 three-car X’Trapolis trains in one or two-car sets. Each three-car set is certifi ed to carry 264 people in seats and 133 standing.

The trains have a maximum potential speed of 130km/h (81mph) but generally run at 90km/h (56mph) due to technical restrictions on the Melbourne network.

The Frankston line currently has Siemens and Comeng trains.The X’Trapolis was the fi rst Melbourne train to have computer

controlled traction, braking and safety systems.

Public transport advocate Dan-iel Bowen said the upgrade “sounds like precisely the sort of upgrade that should be carried out on lines across the network”.

“Along with the 10-minute trains now seen on the line every day, a good amount of shelter, good lighting and CCTV and real time connection infor-mation is not unreasonable to ex pect on all our rail lines,” he said.

There was an urgent need to grade separate train lines and roads, he said, as well as build a station at Southland in Cheltenham.

There would be no money for extra station staff except PSOs.

More frequent trains were good but bus services were poor in some parts of the southeast, Mr Bowen said.

Trains every 10 minutes were not much help for people who had to wait an hour for a connecting bus or people living where there was no bus service on Sundays.

“It’s hard not to see that this package of upgrade works is aimed squarely at the row of marginal seats along the Frankston line,” he said.

“As such, I’d be surprised if some of the more visible changes don’t start to happen in the next 12 months, well in time for the election in November 2014.”

Donna Bauer MLAMember for Carrum

Aspendale Primary School will receive $2 million in funding from the 2013/14 State Budget. Funding will be used to rebuild the school’s junior facilities and replace outdated classrooms. The school community including parents, teachers and students will now be able to enter an exciting new chapter. I’m delighted the Victorian Coalition Government has delivered on another election commitment.

$100 million will be spent on upgrades and maintenance work on the Frankston line. Track, signalling and power and maintenance facilities will be upgraded to improve service reliability. The amenity at railway stations on the Frankston line will also be enhanced. Upgrades will allow the newest and most popular X’Trapolis trains to run on this line, which will be of enormous benefit to Carrum commuters and the 60,000 commuters who use the Frankston line each day.

Restoring and preserving Kananook Creek and its environment is important to the Victorian Coalition Government. $2.5 million has been committed to dredging the built-up silt in the creek, enabling the return of recreational boating to the lower section of creek. The Kananook Creek Corridor, is a valuable environmental and recreational asset and this work will produce a positive outcome for one of our city’s most important environmental assets.

Minister for Community Services Mary Wooldridge and Minister for the Arts Heidi Victoria joined me last month to open two new community facilities in Chelsea, the Chelsea Art Pass and the Chelsea Activity Hub. The initiatives have been made possible through funding from the Victorian Coalition Government and Kingston City Council. The redevelopment of the Activity Hub will mean better access to a modern, refurbished facility, providing a greater range of services to seniors and the local community, which includes a mobile stage, accessible toilets, an upgraded kitchen and new meeting rooms. The Chelsea Art Pass project grew out of a community desire to improve the amenity, safety and look of the Chelsea train station underpass and areas adjacent to the station with impressive colourful art work. Lead artist Anu Patel worked with the community to create a mural, based on the historical and social context of the area.

By Neil WalkerHOUSEHOLD water bills seem set to soar by almost 25 per cent from July. The rise would see the average residential bill from retailer South East Water increase by about $200 an-nually.

The Essential Services Commission released a draft decision on proposed water price rises last month. The regulator rejected South East Water’s proposal to increase charges by 34.9 per cent annually, opting to recommend a 24.8 per cent rise instead.

When releasing the draft report, ESC chair-person Ron Ben-David noted “the recovery of Melbourne Water’s costs associated with the Victorian desalination plant” was “the single largest driver of the price increases proposed by the water businesses”.

The decision to build a multibillion-dollar desalination plant at Wonthaggi to provide water to Melbourne and regional areas with-out the need to rely on rainfall was made by the previous state government in 2007 during Victoria’s then ten-year drought. The drought ended in 2011 and the project was completed in 2012 amid controversy about cost overruns. No water has yet been ordered by Melbourne Water from the desalination plant.

The ESC draft decision means the average annual South East Water bill for residential owner-occupier customers will jump from $858 to $1071.

Elsewhere, City West Water, Yarra Valley Water and Western Water floated price rises of 31.7 per cent, 35.8 per cent and 35.6 per cent respectively. The ESC refused to sanction any price rises above 25.8 per cent.

The ESC draft decision noted: “Yarra Valley Water and South East Water would also have the greatest dollar increase in those custom-ers’ bills over the period, with an increase of $234 per customer and $213 per customer re-spectively.”

Victorian Council of Social Service acting CEO Carolyn Atkins expressed concern about the water price hikes.

“A price increase of between 20 and 25 per cent by the major metropolitan retailers will be felt most keenly by those people who are least able to afford it,” Ms Atkins said.

South East Water will promote the option to pay bills on a fortnightly or monthly basis instead of on a quarterly basis, to spread pay-ments.

The ESC held a public consultation session on the draft decision in Frankston on 1 May. ESC spokesperson Amanda Clark advised The News that “only half a dozen people” at-tended.

Written submissions about the proposed wa-ter bill changes can be made to the ESC until 20 May.

The ESC is due to make a final decision on water prices in June.

Dismay at depot dealDismay at depot dealBy Jo WinterbottomKINGSTON Council will offer its works de-pot in Mentone as the site for a new aged care facility to replace Northcliffe Lodge after the collapse of a deal to build a new nursing home in Edithvale.

Council pulled out of the deal with aged care provider Gold Age when it became apparent the company would not be able to secure the former Aspendale-Edithvale RSL site in Kin-ross St.

The council will now offer the Collins St site and the 60 aged care bed licences now in use at Northcliffe Lodge as a package to try and attract a new developer.

But there is opposition from residents who say Mentone needs more open space and want the depot to become a park.

Kingston mayor Ron Brownlees said the dif-fi culty of fi nding a suitable block of land had become the major stumbling block in the deal with Gold Age.

The partnership was announced with great fanfare in June last year, when it was stated Gold Age had “secured a unique opportunity” to redevelop the former RSL site for a new aged care facility. The deal stipulated that the new facility must be built in Kingston.

Late in 2011 the council had announced its intention to fi nd a commercial partner to re-

place the council-owned and operated North-cliffe Lodge, which it said was dated and un-suitable for upgrading. The lodge is licenced for 60 residents but Cr Brownlees said its dated facilities and the uncertainty over its future had contributed to a drop in residents to 37 and the home was “losing” $700,000 per year.

The council has given repeated assurances that there will be no change in the existing fi nancial arrangements for Northcliffe Lodge residents who move into the new facility. The Lodge will remain open for business as usual until this oc-curs; the only time frame council has committed to is that the expression of interest for a new de-veloper will begin by the end of this year.

“It is disappointing for everyone that the part-nership with Gold Age didn’t achieve the suc-cessful outcome we had all hoped; however we are as determined as ever to improve this service for our residents,” Cr Brownlees said.

He said council had made the decision to sell the Collins St depot “reluctantly”, but countered calls for it to become a neighbourhood park say-ing, “When it comes to a choice between park-land and aged care services, I think our elderly residents deserve a better deal.”

Central Ward councillor Rosemary West will table a petition at the next council meeting list-ing hundreds of residents who want the depot to become parkland.

“Cheltenham and Mentone are experienc-ing more rapid residential development than other parts of Kingston and the depot site is the only practical option for providing park-land for new and existing residents,” she said.

“I can’t think of a worse council decision like this since Chicquita Park,” she said, re-ferring to the sale of a parcel of Defence De-partment land in Mentone in 2001. An aged care facility was to be built on the former park, but it ultimately became a high density residential development.

Cr Brownlees said the council would place caveats on the sale of the Collins St depot restricting its use.

“It will only be sold to be used for an aged care home, we will make sure of that,” he said.

The council was considering several sites for a new works depot, including one in the green wedge zone. It could involve a larger depot incorporating Kingston’s two council depots in Mentone and Braeside.

The Aspendale-Edithvale RSL club closed abruptly in July 2011. It is understood the site has been sold and will be developed for housing.

Gold Age CEO and chair of board of direc-tors Richard Jenkings did not return calls and emails from The News.

The Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society’s bird sale and expo, incorporating the Victorian Zebra Finch Show, will be held on Sunday 26 May, 9.30am (bird sales 11am-2pm) at State Dog Centre (KCC Park), 655 Western Port Highway, Skye (Melway 128, J12).

Undead heads: Emily Astall, Chuck McKenzie and Paige Bencraft made up for zombie shuffl e. Picture: Yanni

Zombies unlimitedZombies unlimitedDO not be alarmed if you see zombies in Chelsea in May. The undead have not risen and a zombie apocalypse is not imminent. Notions Unlimited Bookshop is hosting a zombie shuffl e on Saturday 25 May as part of their in-store ‘Zombie Awareness Month’.

The ‘brainssss’ behind the event, shop owner Chuck McKenzie, hopes zombie hordes will de-scend upon his store to celebrate all things zombie-related. Any customers who dress as zombies will be offered 20 per cent off any zombie-related pur-chases.

“Zombies are one of the most popular subgenres

with our customers and we thought we’d give them the chance to hone their zombie make-up skills,” he said.

Notions Unlimited has also snared an online in-terview with World War Z author Max Brooks to be published on the bookshop’s Facebook page. A movie adaptation of World War Z starring Brad Pitt will be released in June. The zombie shuffl e as part of ‘Zombie Aware-ness Month’ will take place at Notions Unlimited Bookshop, Shop 9, 426 Nepean Highway, Chelsea on Saturday 25 May at midday to 1pm.

DURING the 1990s, Canadian-born Wendy Matthews was hailed as one of Australia’s fi nest singers with extraordinary crystal clear vocals which also displayed a hint of soulfulness.

Two thousand and thirteen looks set to be an exciting year. It marks the beginning of a new era for Wendy Matthews the singer/songwriter with a new recording deal with Fanfare Records and her new album The Welcome Fire, (her fi rst album of all original material in 12 years) which is due for an August release.

This time Wendy has written or co-written every track on the album, a fi rst for her. Other writers include Josh Pyke, Megan Washington, Mark Sholtez, Rod McCormick, John Castle, Kim Richey, Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci.

The Welcome Fire is produced by John Castle of Megan Washington, The Cat Empire, The Drones and Dan Parsons fame.

There are few artists in Australia that can come close to Wendy Matthews and her stunning credentials; seven Arias, a massive 19 singles, seven top-selling albums and most of all the love of her fans. Her career-defi ning album Lily sold more than 500,000 copies and more than 300,000 singles of her now signature song Day You Went Away when released in the mid-90s.

Wendy says of the signing: “I’ve had the luxury of taking a couple of years to write with some fantastic and diverse people for the fi rst original album for me in 12 years, so I’m thrilled to have found a home with the Fanfare label. The last record was on my own little label and I learned much but this feels like a true partnership and an exciting and new way of doing things.”

As an artist she has an expressive voice that never fails to move those who hear it. Her music is an unhurried journey of clean melodies, infectious energy and simple grace. In an age when grunge is thought

to be hip and cynicism an attribute, Wendy has proven that commitment to beauty is still not only valid but applauded by the public ear.

This is exemplifi ed by the fact Wendy’s music is now in more than a million Australian homes – all her albums have multi-platinum status.

She has an immense talent and capacity to capture and defi ne a diverse range of styles in her music. She takes songs from every genre and makes them her own, from jazz to blues, from rock to gospel, from soul to outright infectious pop and then, of course, there are the beautiful ballads

Born in Montreal, Canada, Wendy joined her fi rst band and left home as a teenager, busking her way across the USA to Los Angeles where she met Glenn Shorrock who invited her to tour with him in Australia in 1982.

She immediately became an in-demand session singer, appearing on many commercial jingles and backing vocals for the likes of The Models Out of Mind Out of Sight and became a semi-permanent member of the band. She also sang on albums by Jimmy Barnes, Tim Finn, Richard Clapton and Icehouse.

In 1987, Wendy collaborated with Kate Ceberano on the ABC-TV soundtrack for the series Stringer. You’ve Always Got the Blues was

released the next year reaching the Top 5 national charts. She then contributed to the Rockmelons and Peter Blakeley’s respective albums. She helped form Absent Friends and sang on the number one hit Don’t Wanna Be With Nobody But You and the album Here’s Looking Up Your Address.

To support The Welcome Fire Wendy will embark on an extensive promotion tour followed by a national concert tour 2013/2014.

THIS spring will see another chapter unfold in the life of Wings, the UK rock group formed by Sir Paul McCartney after the break-up of The Beatles and one of the most successful bands ever created.

For the fi rst time a DVD will be released of the live concert fi lm Rockshow which was shot in 1975 and 1976 when Paul McCartney and Wings undertook the epic Wings over the World tour which was the largest-scale tour they would ever undertake as a band. Packed with all the classic Wings hits, plus some of The Beatles’ and Paul’s solo classics – the fi lm is released on DVD and Blu-ray formats. Although fi lmed on this tour at the enormous Kingdome in Seattle, Rockshow, originally a cut

down version of the concert, was not premiered until November 1980 in New York and April 1981 in London. It was originally released on Betamax (later on laser disc) but it’s only now that the complete full-length concert is being made available fully restored from the original 35mm fi lm and with restored and remastered sound, including a 5.1 mix for the fi rst time.

Wings are one of the most successful acts the UK has ever produced, achieving 14 US Top 10 hits and 12 Top 10 hits at home, including Mull of Kintyre which with more than two million sales remains the biggest-selling non-charity single of all time over their 10-year career.

Rockshow (Shock), the documentary of the band’s Wing’s Over the World will be available on DVD & Blu Ray 10 June.

***PAUL Dainty, chairman of Dainty Group has announced dates for the Australian leg of the Bon Jovi Because We Can – The Tour which kicks off in Melbourne on Saturday 7 December at Etihad Stadium.Tickets for the Australian tour will go on sale on Monday 20 May at noon. Ensuring there is something for every fan, Bon Jovi is offering a range of tickets starting at $35 (plus transaction and credit card charges where applicable).

Tickets can be purchased from www.ticketmaster.com.au

In this spectacular new show fans will be treated to an unforgettable night of Bon Jovi’s huge arsenal of hits, as well as new tracks from the band’s latest album What About Now which debuted at No1 on the Australian charts. The new video for the single What about Now can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-88lY2GlxE.

***Dirty Farmer’s Daughter is the latest single from the acclaimed Hunter Valley raised, Nashville-based singer-songwriter, Kirsty Akers.

Already a popular playlist addition to Dallas’ KHYI the Range (America’s highest rating Americana station) the song is accompanied by a provocative and stylishly intense video which was directed, edited and produced by the talented songstress.

“This song is my favourite to perform off the album,” says Kirsty. “It has a lot of dynamics, both vocally and melodically. I am a really big fan of shows like American Horror Story and True Blood and one of the things I love are their sound tracks. The music is really rootsy and dark so that probably infl uenced me a little with this song.”

Described as “one of the rising stars of the Americana scene” Kirsty recently performed for the cast and crew of the Golden Globe nominated TV show Nashville. She returns to Australia in late June for a series of shows including the Broadbeach Country Festival and The Gympie Muster. www.kirstyleeakers.com

Performance

By Gary Turner

By Stuart McCulloughSUPERMAN, Spider-Man, Batman: they meant nothing to me. As for the likes of Iron Man, the Green Lantern or Daredevil – I could trip over them in the frozen food aisle at the supermarket and still not recognise them, in spite of the costumes. I realise that superheroes are all the rage right now. Indeed, I wouldn’t be surprised if the sequel to Best Exotic Marigold Hotel starred Thor. Barely a movie goes by without some preposterous champion strapping on some totally outrageous duds with the inevitable promise to combat evil.

There’s something a little clichéd about superheroes. For the most part, they’re reluctant to nail their colours to the mast and insist on cowering behind an alternate identity. It’s as though they were invented by the witness protection program. It’s a convention that suggests a heroic identity can emerge precisely when the need arises. It’s little wonder that most of the decent superheroes were invented during World War II. Not that they don’t have their problems.

Almost invariably, heroes are deeply fl awed individuals who harbor a tragic past. This may include being orphaned (as with Batman, Spider-Man and

Superman) or, in the case of the Green Lantern, the indignity of having been portrayed by Ryan Reynolds. Also, to be a decent superhero you’ve got to have a point of weakness. There’s little point being invulnerable – it would make the contest with super villains hardly worth watching. The Man of Steel is hopeless against Kryptonite, although it always seemed

a bit odd that he should be allergic to his home planet. Aquaman can’t be out of the water for more than an hour which is probably fair enough. The Green Lantern, oddly enough, has an aversion to the colour yellow. Which means he could, if push came to shove, be taken down by one of the Wiggles. As for Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna, their key weakness was simply the fact that they were incredibly annoying. That and the fact they had a monkey called ‘Gleek’.

With the exception of Superman who is powerful on account of being an alien, there’s almost always some weird story about how they came to get their particular power. Spider-Man got his abilities after being bitten by a radioactive arachnid and the Flash inhaled hard water vapors, whereas Captain America chose a more contemporary path by simply opting for performance enhancing drugs (although they politely called it a ‘serum’).

Rightly or wrongly, I’ve always struggled to take these guys seriously. Maybe it’s the whole underwear on the outside thing – which never really denoted special powers to me so much as it did special needs – or perhaps I just couldn’t fi nd it in

myself to identify with them. Forget your Justice League, X-Men or Super Friends, my heart belonged to another group of less celebrated super beings who defi ned my childhood namely, Roger Hargreaves’ Mr Men.

These guys always resonated with me in a far more profound way. For starters, they never mucked around with secret identities. Better yet, their strengths and weaknesses were nearly always declared in their names. Mr Greedy, Mr Nosey and Mr Mean were all exactly as their monikers suggested. The moment you picked up a copy of Mr Fussy, Mr Happy or Mr Sneeze, you had a pretty good idea of what you were dealing with.

The inhabitants of Misterland have the kind of powers that ordinary folk can aspire to. For example, the power of extreme rudeness (as in the case of Mr Fussy), the ability to tell a joke (Mr Funny) or the overwhelming need to be punctual. Granted, there may be a case for arguing that Mr Rush’s insatiable desire to be on time means that he would, by today’s standards, be diagnosed as suffering obsessive compulsive disorder. The point is this: I will never be faster than a speeding bullet, nor will I leap tall buildings in a single bound but, like Mr Daydream,

I can certainly tune out when the mood strikes me.

In a market cluttered with superhero movies, one group is yet to get the Hollywood treatment they so obviously deserve. Indeed, there’s no time like the present for producers to start lobbing fi stfuls of cash at a big screen adaptation of the Mr Men series. But with so any to choose from, where to begin? The answer is obvious.

Mr Messy – the Movie would be the kind of blockbuster that has people queuing up around the block. It would be so great a spectacle that spotted teenagers would refrain from illegally downloading it and shell out their par-ent’s hard-earned money to see it. I see Nicholas Cage as Mr Messy. Only he can properly bring to life the tor-tured psyche of the character. As is the way with such fi lms, it would be a journey into darkness. Horribly disfi g-ured in a laboratory accident, our hero is transformed into little more than a pink squiggle who fi ghts crime. Or, if not crime, then at least the urge to tidy up. That I can relate to. Perhaps by refusing to bow to convention and not being neat and tidy, Mr Messy is doing something truly heroic. Shazam!

BASEBALLIN the fourth game of the season, Morn-ington Pirates A1 side went down to Ding-ley at home on Saturday 11 May.

The fi nal score of 5-1 was a testament to a very solid game played by Dingley, with great pitching from Mat Prior.

The pirates matched Dingley for hits but failed to execute, leaving a lot of runners on base.

Josh Mulherin pitched very well, with Nick Swanveld and Brendan Wilson col-lecting 3 hits each.

In other results:Mornington A2 vs Dingley: Tough day for the Pirates coming up against last year’s premiers.

Highlights were Rhys De Saint Pern making his fi rst start for the season on the hill.

A few long and successful bats by Shaun Martin, and debut for U/17s player, Rhys Butler who made a couple of nice pick ups at second base.

Mornington B1 vs Berwick: B1 were off to a promising start scoring 5 runs in the fi rst innings.

Berwick came back with 15 runs making it diffi cult to get back into the game.

Aaron Mc Gough showed promise on the hill. Final score 18 to 8, a win to Berwick.

Mornington B2 vs Berwick: Dodgers v Pirates at Dodgers home ground.

Dodgers scored 3 runs in the fi rst dig,8 in the second, jumping to a 11 - 3 lead.

Pirate batters never got going, unable to make up the difference, despite every effort, went down 18 - 4.

(Mornington C2 had a bye.)

JUNIORSU/17: Mornington Pirates vs Dandenong Angels: Mornington U17s were defeated by Dandenong 8-2.

A close game up to the 4th inning; Dandenong Angels came out hitting and kept Pirates at bay. Two collision plays at homeplate and fi rst base made for some intense moments.

J. Nelson had the hot seat on fi rst base collecting frozen rope line drives and turn-ing a double play singlehandedly. S. Hughes had a good start on the hill followed by J. Nelson.

U/15: Mornington Pirates vs Berwick Dodgers: The boys travelled to Berwick and exploded with a 7 run fi rst inning. Thanks to some aggressive hitting from Patterson, Taylor, Hafey - Bagg and Jackson. Patterson threw 3 of f 1 run ball, well supported by catcher Hafey - Bagg.

Berwick’s bats heated up, fi eld errors were costly, going down 8 – 7.

U/13: Mornington Gold vs Mornington Black: Went up against Mornington Black, started game batting. Jordan Millar lead off the batting.

Tom Panich started off with great pitch-ing. Jack Curtis had a great tagged dive to save a run from the Black’s. Cade Johnson had a good batting game.

Through great base running, were up by 3 runs but due to time, score reverted to 5–4. Mornington Black vs Mornington Gold

Massive double header - Black defeated Gold by 1 run, 5 - 4 after uneven innings. Safe hits for Isbister 2, Tedesco 1, Bald 2 and Stenberg 1. Great sliding by Stenberg and awesome infi eld fl y by McDonald.

(U/11: Mornington Pirates had a bye)

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyFOR many years, we have been longing for an even competition in Peninsula League.

Every year, it seems the fi nal fi ve is set before the fi rst ball is bounced for the season.

That isn’t the case in season 2013.While Frankston YCW is still proving

to be the benchmark, undefeated and two games clear on top of the ladder, the competition is wide-open, from second place Bonbeach to eighth place Mt Eliza.

YCW coach Tony Barry told Mornington Peninsula News Group that he was surprised that his side was still undefeated.

“Our personnel changed a lot in the pre-season and we went into 2013 without more than half a dozen of our premiership players from the year before,” Barry said.

“With opposition sides recruiting well over the pre-season, I didn’t expect to be in the position we are in.”

However, after six rounds of footy, the Stonecats are yet to be beaten.

Remembering that their reserves won the fl ag last season and the under–18s were a force, there is a winning culture at the Stonecats.

There is also an expectation that all players learn the game-plan that is implemented by Barry and his assistants.

“Every player in the senior club is well aware of the style of play we adopt and that includes the under–18s. It is important for them to understand the way we play our football and when

they get their opportunity, and they will, we want them to fi t straight in and not feel lost,” Barry said.

YCW always has a senior player coach the under–18s, which assists in that transition.

It’s much like the culture at Geelong in the AFL. Football followers revel in the ability of the inexperienced players at the Cats to make the jump and fi t right in. No different at YCW.

On Saturday, Frankston YCW was thrown another big challenge against Seaford, who had won four on the trot.

Tigers coach Craig McIndoe said his side was looking forward to the challenge.

“We come into the match in good form and I think we’ll enjoy the wide open spaces of Jubilee Park,” McIndoe said prior to the match.

By Saturday night, the Stonecats had completely dominated the Tigers and whipped them by more than 10 goals, 17.24–126 to 9.8–62. Thankfully the home side was wayward in front of goal, or the result would have been a lot worse.

Again, a fascinating result.It was boys against men stuff in the

second half and although starting OK, the Tigers just couldn’t sustain the pressure in the second hour.

The Stonecats have done this a number of times this season. Mornington went toe–to–toe for a while but couldn’t keep it up and Bonbeach did the same.

YCW shared the load again, 10 players kicking goals. Kyle Hutchison the best of them with three, while Scott Macleod played his best game since crossing from Chelsea. Byron Barry and Riley Hodson were also fi rst rate.

Tom Shaw booted four for the Tigers while Aaron Turner was his team’s best player.

Chelsea came from eight goals down at one stage in the second quarter to beat Langwarrin by four points in a thriller, 13.9–87 to 12.11–83.

The home side led by 38 points at quarter–time kicking with the aid of the breeze, however, the Gulls got back into the contest with the last four goals of the second–quarter to reduce the defi cit to just 24 points.

Langwarrin, with the aid of Dan Wehner through the middle and Aaron Shaw up front with four goals, was able to maintain the break in the third and go to the fi nal change with a 26-point buffer.

However, led by skipper Ryan Stewart, Richard Jaroszczuk, the young and exciting talent of Toddy Gardener, the work rate of Ryan Dyer and ruck work of Jack Gaze to give his teammates fi rst use, the Gulls were able to storm back in the last quarter, booting fi ve goals to three behinds and snatch victory.

There were emotional scenes after the match for the Gulls, who lost their fi rst fi ve games of the season.

We are also talking about a club that lost 16 of its best 22 players in the off-season, including the likes of Gary and Sam Carpenter, Steve Harrison, Anthony Lewis, Luke Damon, Nigel Carmody, Luke Stokell, Scott Macleod and Chris Worner.

It’s been tough going for new coach Paul Carbis.

“I was appointed late in proceedings and I guess the rumour–mill got around that this player was leaving and that

player was leaving,” said Carbis.“When it got time for me to start

talking to players to see what their intentions were for the season, they had already made up their mind that they were leaving.

“We obviously needed to get some recruits, which we were able to do late, however this year was always going to be about getting games into the kids and trying to remain competitive.

“I think every week we get better and as long as there is continued improvement from individuals and teams, then I’ll be happy.”

After three straight losses, Edithvale-Aspendale was able to bounce back and take a big scalp in Karingal.

The Eagles have struggled in recent times, especially with the lack of height up forward with the loss of Matt Kremmer. With him back in the side, it was always going to assist the likes of Brad Tagg and Brent Bowden.

Having the three-pronged attack up–front was going to challenge the Bulls’ defence.

It proved to be the case with Kremmer kicking four goals and Bowden and Tagg two each as the Eagles steam–rolled the Bulls 16.15–111 to 10.7–67.

Edithvale is now just nine percent out of fourth place.

Jeremy Heys continued his superb season while Nick Connellan was again a general in defence.

Michael Burke with fi ve goals was clearly Karingal’s best.

Pines maintained its touch with the top fi ve with a strong four-quarter performance against Mt Eliza, winning 13.14–92 to 10.10–70.

The Pythons led by eight points at

quarter time, trailed by a goal at the major interval and stretched the margin to 16 points at three–quarter time.

Anthony Craddock was a surprise packet in attack with three goals while Beau Hendry once again announced that he is one of the most important big men in the caper. His work in the middle with skipper Jamie Messina, who booted two goals, is worth going to the footy to watch.

Josh Norman and Rick D’Orazio were among the best for the Redlegs, along with skipper Jimmy Clayton and Sam Gill.

Bonbeach and Mornington was expected to be a sensational game of football and it lived up to all the hype.

These two sides will feature prominently come fi nals time and we got a taste of it on Saturday.

The Dogs opened in sensational fashion and looked to white–wash the home side in the fi rst quarter with fi ve goals to none in the fi rst 30 minutes.

The Sharks bounced back in the second to get within fi ve points at half–time, before the Dogs kicked away again with the wind in the third to lead by 10 points at the fi nal change.

With the likes of Jason Gumbleton, Shaun Foster up front with four goals, Shane McDonald and Matt Batten working tirelessly in the fi nal term, the Sharks were able to come from behind and record a 15-point victory, 13.14–92 to 11.11–77.

Kallum Searle and Adrian Speedy with three goals were the best of the Doggies, while Warwick Miller and Anthony Simpson were also able to perform well.

CHELSEA – MORDIALLOC NEWS scoreboard

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyIT’S game-on for a spot in the top fi ve in Nepean League.

Just three rounds ago, results appeared to show that the fi ve was set with Sorrento, Frankston Bombers, Dromana, Rosebud and Rye.

Fast forward three rounds and the race is on.

Rye now looks to be in serious danger of losing touch with the top fi ve after going down to Crib Point in Round Six of Nepean League football on Saturday.

After getting away to a solid start this season, winning two of its fi rst three games, the Demons have now lost three on the trot and have slid out of the top fi ve.

Over the next two weeks, Rye has matches against Sorrento and Dromana. Even at their best, the Demons cannot beat either of these teams.

On Saturday against the Magpies, inaccuracy in front of goals cost them dearly.

The home side booted 1.8 in the third term to Crib Point’s 3.5, allowing the Magpies a three point buffer at the fi nal change.

In the last quarter, Crib Point proved too strong, winning 15.14–104 to 12.21–93.

While Rye’s season seems to have gone off the rails, Crib Point is back in the hunt for a spot in the fi ve.

Pies coach Dave Lawson was exceptional on Saturday with fi ve goals while Luke Herrington (four goals) and Jon Flack (three goals) were at their best yet again.

Lawson told Mornington Peninsula News Group last week that his team’s season would be well and truly back on track should it knock over Rye.

In successive weeks now the Pies have knocked over Rosebud and Rye; two fi nals aspirants.

With Devon Meadows and Somerville in two of its next three games, the Pies can really consolidate. It also has Frankston Bombers in Round 8, which will be timely given they will want to test their good form against a top side.

Waide Symes continues to be a standout for the Pies while Matt Jackson played his best game for the seasono after a breakout year in 2012.

Rye’s leaders in Rhett Sutton and Leigh Morse were great contributors for their side while Darren Booth and Matt Sibberas continued their excellent form.

Devon Meadows won its fi rst game

of the season when it overcame a poor second quarter to beat Somerville.

Playing in ideal conditions at Glover Reserve, the Panthers and Eagles went toe to toe in the opening quarter with six goals each.

However, with the wind in the second term, the Eagles booted seven goals to three and opened up a 21 point lead.

The second half was a cracker. Through the likes of Callum O’Hare,

Ash Adams, Daniel Watson and Steve McInnes through the middle, Alex Doria, Andrew Oldmeadow and Pat Harmes down back and Troy Aust and Heath Black in attack, the Panthers were able to respond with the aid of a two-goal breeze in the third term.

The home side booted fi ve goals to none for the quarter and edged in front by 10 points at the fi nal change.

The last quarter was a thriller. Somerville booted the fi rst goal to reduce the margin to three points before Troy Aust, who fi nished the afternoon with four goals, extended the margin back to 10 points at the 17 minute mark.

With 13 seconds on the clock, the Eagles reduced the margin to three points. The Eagles then got the clearance and kicked it to full forward, only for the siren to sound one second before Luke Rowe took the mark 20 metres in front.

The fi nal score was 15.14–104 to 15.11–101.

Understandably, the Panthers were thrilled with their fi rst win of the season.

Justin Farrelly was clearly the Eagles’ best, while Caleb Cox, Jed Sutton, Ben Sedgewick and Paul McDonald were very good across four quarters.

Sorrento’s Leigh Poholke booted nine goals in the second half against Tyabb and fi nished with 10 for the afternoon in his side’s 119-point win.

Just four goals separated the sides at half time after the Yabbies really put up a fi ght against the ladder leaders.

However, the Sharks kicked eight goals in the third quarter and another 12 in the last to crush the opposition, 28.14–182 to 10.3–63.

Steve Baker and James Hallahan booted three each for the Sharks while Kayle Stringer-Morris continued his purple patch of form. Ryan Jeffrey and Scott Cameron also dominated in the big men department for the visitors.

The only blight for the winners was the hamstring strain to Ben Schwarze, who came from the fi eld early in the opening quarter.

Matty Dimkos was back and fi ring for the Yabbies, Ash Waterstone booted three goals and Steve Conlan and Nick Waterstone also tried hard throughout.

Dromana got the job done against Rosebud on Saturday at Olympic Park, winning by 33 points, 18.12–120 to 13.9–87.

After back-to-back 100-point plus wins, this was always going to be a test for the Tigers to see how they would respond to better opposition.

After a tight fi rst quarter, the Tigers were able to give the opposition the slip in the second term and set-up the win with an eight goal to three term.

This was the difference in the end, Rosebud going goal for goal with Dromana after half time.

Toby Banks booted four goals for the Tigers while Daniel Waddell, Anthony Bruhn and Dan Gormley booted three goals each. Matt Neratzoglou was sensational down back for the Tigers, as was Shaun Clarke. Terry Wheeler provided plenty of run on the open spaces of Olympic Park.

Matty Payne and Greg Bentley were stand-outs for the ’Buds while Sam Krumeich is having a wonderful season playing down back.

Despite the loss, the ’Buds maintained their position in the top fi ve.

Frankston Bombers remain undefeated, beating Hastings by just 11 points.

The Blues went into the game mixing things up from what we have seen in the fi rst fi ve rounds.

As a result, the home side played with more spirit and passion and some of the moves clearly paid off. Colin McVeigh was sent forward against one of the best defences in the competition and responded with eight goals in a near best on ground display.

Kain Stratton had a run-with role through the middle and he was exceptional while Daniel Wishart played his best game for the season.

At the end of the afternoon, however, the Blues did go down 14.14–98 to 16.13–109.

The Bombers always had the answers, largely due to the form of Jay Reynolds, who fi nished the afternoon with four goals. He was exceptional, while coach Duncan Proud and Nathan Lonie really led from the front.

The third quarter was the game breaker, when the Frankston Bombers booted four goals to two to open up a match winning 25 point lead.

In the fi nal game, Pearcedale consolidated its place in the fi ve with

Hard lesson: Hastings went down to Frankston Bombers by just 11 points. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Dales day: Pearcedale had a hard-fought win over Red Hill. Picture: Doug Farr

a hard fought six goal win over Red Hill, 15.11–101 to 8.17–65.

Again, it was the third quarter that proved to be the difference in the match.

Trailing by fi ve points at half time after Red Hill squandered a lot of opportunity in front of goals (3.9 to 2.2), the Dales came-out in the third and kicked 8.2 to 1.2 to seal the match.

Pat Heijden kicked seven for the winners to give him 28 for the season while Pat Cadd, Dean Janssen and Adam Avard dominated through the middle of the ground. Luke Murray and Matt Smith gave plenty of drive from the back half.

Jake Mitchell and Ben Black were among the best for the Hillmen.
