7th November 2013

By Chris BrennanKINGSTON drivers are being warned of an im-pending police crackdown on the illegal use of mobile phones while behind the wheel.

Tough new penalties for those caught using mobile phones while driving will be introduced this month.

From 25 November, drivers caught using a mo-bile phone handset will be fi ned $433 and lose four demerit points, up from current penalties of $289 and three points, while P-platers will banned from any mobile phone use, including hands free.

Under sweeping changes to mobile phone rules introduced by the state government last week, the total ban on mobile phone use for provisional drivers is being extended from P1 licence holders on red P-plates to P2 drivers on green P-plates.

Sergeant Herb Lonsing of Kingston traffic management unit said police were frustrated driv-ers were still not getting the message that texting while driving was highly dangerous.

“It is a big problem and it’s getting worse,” he said. “Texting rather than talking is the new thing and it takes a driver’s eyes off the road.

“There are a lot of nose to tail crashes caused on the Nepean Hwy for instance that are caused by people texting while driving.”

Sargeant Lonsing said he had even seen driv-ers looking at Facebook and Twitter on mobile phones while driving.

He said hiding a phone down low out of sight while on the road would not stop drivers being caught.

“Police motorcyles will be out and about checking whether mobile phones are being used in traffi c,” he said.

Drivers using hand-held GPS and other map-ping devices while behind the wheel is also banned.

Roads Minister Terry Mulder said the new

regulations were some of the most signifi cant changes to the state’s road rules rules in years and refl ected the “growing problem of distraction, which has the potential to result in deaths and in-juries on our roads”.

“We want to see using mobiles while driving become as unacceptable as drink-driving now is,” he said. “We want parents to talk to young drivers about not starting the habit, and we want people who do it now to stop.

“We have all sat at the lights and seen people with their heads down, playing with their phones. We have to decide as a community that this is not on, and make it as stupid as drink-driving.”

He said a majority of young and middle-aged drivers had admitted using a mobile phone at some stage while driving, with 88 per cent of young drivers reporting using mobile phones to read text messages and 77 per cent to send texts.

“The message clearly isn’t getting through, which is why we are making the fi nes and penal-ties even tougher. Any driver caught using a mo-bile phone illegally risks losing one-third of the 12 demerit points for a single, stupid act. P-platers will risk hitting their fi ve demerit point limit.

“We know these acts can, and have, caused deaths and injury on our roads.”

Assistant Commissioner for road policing Rob-ert Hill welcomed the tougher approach, saying mobiles were the biggest cause of driver distrac-tion on the state’s roads.

He said police would ramp up their enforce-ment efforts leading into the Christmas and New Year period.

“Taking that call, sending that text, it’s just not worth it. It just is not worth losing your life, or someone else’s.”

TAC research shows drivers taking their eyes off the road for more than two seconds doubled their chance of having a crash.

Keep onsinging MENTONE Park Primary School pupils last week joined students from across Australia to sing the same song at exactly the same time. Year 4 pupils Chelsie, Alexandra and Thomas were among the enthusias-tic cast taking part in the Music: Count Us In event at 12.30pm on Thursday 31 October, which was organ-ised by the Music Council of Australia to promote the value of music educa-tion to students’ develop-ment. More than 500,000 students across the nation sang Keep On, a song produced by Australian Idol music director John Fore-man and recorded by The Voice runner-up Darren Per-cival. Mentone Park Primary joined the nationwide choir and their performance was shown live on the internet as part of the event.Picture: Gary Sissons

PUPILS at St Louis de Montfort’s Pri-mary School in Aspendale keen to em-brace the concept of supporting those in need have turned to the St Vincent de Paul Society for inspiration.

Lunch has been served by students once a month to visitors to the school after school leaders set up a ‘mini Vin-nies’ project.

The Mini Vinnies initiative is part of the school’s Take Action, Make a Difference leadership program.

Students participate in a six-day leadership program to help them develop an understanding of good leadership and how anyone can make a difference.

Soup and toasties are on the menu and visitors are also given tours of the school’s sustainability garden.

“We use ingredients from our gar-den to make the soup and we’ve been fortunate to develop a partnership with our local Safeway who have been pro-viding fruit,” St Louis de Montfort’s wellbeing leader Julie Wynne said.

The fruit is also used for a student intiated ‘Fresh Fruit Fridays’ project aimed at promoting healthy eating to pupils. “The members of the com-munity are really enjoying the lunches and it is a great way for student to make a difference in our local area,” Ms Wynne said.

Accidents turn up heat on eldery drivers

Crash site: An elderly driver’s car ploughed through the wall of an Aspendale Gardens pharmacy then reversed into parked cars. Picture: Gary Sissons

By Neil WalkerTWO recent incidents involving elder-ly drivers careering through shopfront windows in Kingston have prompted police to again urge seniors to ensure they are still fi t to drive.

Late last month, a man aged in his seventies smashed his car through a Baker’s Delight shop in Mentone while trying to park. A staff member behind the counter suffered a minor leg injury. Last week, an elderly man’s car mounted the footpath as he was trying to park, before crashing into a chemist at Aspendale Gardens shopping centre.

The driver then seemingly panicked, reversing at speed into a parked car and causing further damage to two ve-hicles.

Fortunately, nobody was injured in the latest incident.

The News attended the scene of the Aspendale Gardens accident and spoke to police and emergency services who advised that seniors mistaking the ac-celerator for the brake pedal was be-coming a common problem.

Staff at the My Chemist store told The News the crash was the second time within twelve months that an elderly driver had ploughed into the shop’s wall.

The wall backs onto a storeroom area and no staff members were in the room at the time of the latest smash.

Kingston traffi c management unit Senior Sergeant Herb Lonsing said elderly drivers often become fl ustered

and this can lead to accidents.“There are people with certain medi-

cal conditions who should not be driv-ing,” he said.

“Age is not an excuse is someone is seriously injured or killed; someone is responsible for that.”

Snr-Sgt Lonsing urged families and friends of elderly drivers to continually check whether seniors are not a risk to other road users.

“Things change very quickly and driving skills deteriorate,” he said. “Family members should talk to their doctor about whether a relative is still fi t to drive.”

He said elderly drivers also need to self-assess whether they should be be-hind the wheel.

THE Victorian Civil and Administra-tive Tribunal has overruled Kingston council and given the green light to a 24-hour vehicle storing business on green wedge land in Dingley Village.

Almost 200 vehicles, mainly trucks, will be allowed to park at the open-air premises on Boundary Rd on a site that is currently vacant.

The council, which had rejected the planning application, argued before VCAT that the proposed business was inappropriate for green wedge land and questioned whether it could be accurately categorised as a “vehicle store”.

Arguments raised by the council at the VCAT hearing in opposition to the application included the “inap-propriateness of this use within the Kingston green wedge and potential amenity and access issues” and its “inconsistency with state and local planning policies”.

Mayor Ron Brownlees expressed disappointment at the VCAT ruling and said the proposed business was not in keeping with Kingston’s Green Wedge Plan.

“Council is concerned about the tribunal’s decision as our green wedge plan has a focus on open space and improving the amenity of this area,” he said. “We don’t consider this decision will contribute towards these aims.”

However, VCAT rejected the council’s arguments, ruling that the proposal met the defi nition of a ve-hicle store and was not incompatible for a “non-pristine” part of the green wedge.

No release for catch of dayBy Mike HastCARRUM angler David Steen is the new Victo-rian snapper champion after hauling in a monster 10.26 kilogram fi sh during this year’s Tea Tree snapper fi shing competition on Port Phillip Bay and Western Port over the weekend.

But the competition was marred by claims of numerous dead snapper being tossed overboard by anglers keen to “upgrade” their catches with heavier fi sh, sparking calls for rule changes to the event.

Steen was among 1971 anglers, including 218 juniors, who weighed-in more than 1800 fi sh over the course of the competition, which began in the early hours of Friday and concluded Satur-day afternoon.

Recreational fi shermen packed launching ramp car parks on Western Port and Port Phillip to take part in Australia’s biggest salt water recreational fi shing competition. Offi cial weigh-ins were held at Patterson River and Mornington Racecourse, where the prize winners were announced.

The Victorian Snapper Report Facebook page was brimming with reports and comments about anglers throwing dead fi sh back into the water after catching a bigger snapper. The problem was most prevalent in northern Port Phillip.

Some posts were highly critical of anglers, call-ing those who had thrown away fi sh “greedy”.

Others asked anglers who had seen people “up-grading” if they had recorded boat rego numbers.

Another said anglers who had not caught fi sh should go to Fawkner Beacon and collect a snap-per from the many fl oating in the water.

The problem is connected to Victorian bag lim-its of three fi sh over 40 centimetres and seven smaller fi sh for a total of 10.

In the mid-2000s, about 6000 fi sh were caught at one event, angering fi shing authorities and en-vironmentalists.

Snapper Point Angling Club thought it had solved the problem of overfi shing when it started giving random capture prizes such as boats with

motors and trailers rather than to those with the biggest fi sh.

One angling professional, who did not want to be named, said the club could solve the problem easily. “We need to have catch and release,” he said. “The club could issue fi sh rulers and fi shos take a picture on a smart phone and send it to the club. Prizes could be randomly drawn from phone numbers to encourage participation.”

The angling club posted results of the 2013 Tea Tree snapper fi shing competition on its website on the weekend.

Open section winners:Heaviest: David Steen of Carrum (10.26 kg), new Victorian snapper champion.Second heaviest: Vic Way of Bayswater North (9.43 kg).Third heaviest: Rob Zenz of Berwick (9.28 kg).Junior section winners:Heaviest fi sh: Sofi a Howard of Wallan (8.25 kg).Second heaviest: Harry Dettmann of Coldstream (7.75 kg).Third heaviest: Jay Derbincat of Hoppers Cross-ing (6.64 kg).

By Neil WalkerMENTONE Pony Club is on the hunt for new courses for horses after nearly four decades at its present location in Bangholme.

In a bitter blow, the club is to be evicted from its current premises on land at Pillars Rd. Club members have enjoyed the use of the land for the past 38 years.

The club was originally located in Mentone near the former racetrack before the move to Bangholme.

A Chinese investor bought the Bangholme land in August 2012 and negotiations with the club have broken down with Mentone Pony Club sec-retary Helen Reid describing the proposed lease terms by the new owner as too onerous and ex-pensive.

“Some people think equestrian sports are elit-ist but it’s mostly just ordinary folks who enjoy participating,” Ms Reid said.

The club is disappointed to be leaving the 60-acre area after putting in so much work to make itself at home on the land.

“When we moved in there was nothing here,” Ms Reid said. “We built a club house, stables and a cross country course for the horses.”

The club offers showjumping, cross county, dressage and grooming classes to horse owners and has 58 members. Young people are taught how to ride horses safely and the club hosts quar-terly community events.

Parkdale resident Ms Reid said the club’s mem-bers have been forced to fi nd new digs for their horses.

Lyndhurst MP Martin Pakula has raised the Mentone Pony Club’s situation in State Parlia-ment and has asked Victorian Environment and

Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith, as the minister responsible for Parks Victoria, to help fi nd new premises for the club.

Mr Pakula noted there is a vast amount of Mel-bourne Water and South East Water land that could be used to accommodate the club’s opera-tions.

Anyone able to provide land for the club’s relo-cation can contact club secretary Helen Reid on 0439 287 513.

IF music is the food of love, Chelsea cafe owners Lisa Scarlett and Linda Belle have all the ingredients for their own opera. The mother and daughter team are classically trained opera singers and the owners of a busy Chelsea cafe, appropriately named Café Opera, while also singing regularly at events across Kingston. Linda studied law before deciding to follow her heart and undertook training to become an op-era singer. Her progress inspired her mother to join her and the pair have been working and perform-ing together ever since. They use the cafe to share their passion for opera. Classical and opera music is played at Café Opera and Linda is happy to give new listeners a crash course and song recommenda-tions. Last month they performed at the Chelsea Ac-tivity Hub to a packed audience as part of the King-ston Seniors Festival. When The News visited the cafe, a customer said the performance had been so beautiful “it made me cry”. Next up for Linda is a possible role in a Babirra Music Theatre production of The Phantom of the Opera. Pictures: Gary Sissons

UNLICENCED motorists and people driving unregistered vehicles will have no place to hide when a new BlueNet police car begins regular patrols around Kingston as part of a Victoria Police initiative to increase road safety.

Four new BlueNet police cars with cameras that can scan number plates and immediately identify unregistered vehicles hit the road last week.

The four new cars will be used by highway patrols at Geelong, Brim-

bank, Shepparton and Frankston. The Frankson-based car, which will be sta-tioned at Carrum Downs, will also be used on Kingston roads.

Police will now have a greater ability to identify and remove high-risk and unauthorised drivers from the roads.

Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said the new patrol vehicles will be used in the battle to reduce roads trauma.

“Unauthorised drivers and recidivist

offenders pose a high risk to road us-ers and the expansion of the BlueNet program will substantially improve our detection rates, creating a safer road system for all road users,” he said.

The four new cars began patrols be-fore the Melbourne Cup long weekend.

A prototype vehicle with the Au-tomatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology has been used by Kingston and police statewide since December last year.

Net set for dodgy drivers

Crash test runAN airport emergency exercise was conducted at Moorabbin Airport last week. Emergency services, including police, fi re and Airservices Australia personnel tested response times and operational procedures in the event of an accident at the airport.

The exercise was based on two fi ctitious aircraft colliding overhead at Moorabbin Airport with both crashing within the airport grounds. Moorabbin Airport Corporation regularly conducts emergency exercises to test the ability of airport management staff and emergency services to respond to a range of possible incidents and accidents. These exercises are part of safety regulations for Moorabbin Airport in line with Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requirements.Picture: Gary Sissons

By Neil WalkerA MORNING raid on a Parkdale home by police led to a large quantity of drugs being seized and the arrest of two suspected drug dealers.

Police entered the Parkdale premises on the Nepean Hwy at 8am on Wednesday 23 October and discovered a “sizeable” amount of ampheta-mines and ecstasy. More than 180 packets of cigarettes were also seized in the raid.

Three prohibited weapons, including a gun, were also found. A 26-year-old man and 25-year-old woman were apprehended.

Caulfi eld divisional response unit Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Rix said the arrests and seizure of the substantial drugs haul were part of an ongoing investigation into an organised drugs syndicate operating in the area.

“The purity of the drugs found is still to be de-termined, but early signs indicate the drugs in-volved have a street value of between $70,000 to $100,000,” he said.

Just under $80,000 in cash was also discovered at the Parkdale home.

Both suspects appeared in Moorabbin Magis-trates Court last week charged with drugs traf-fi cking, fi rearms offences and profi ting from the proceeds of crime.

The female received bail while the male sus-pect is still on remand. Both are due to reappear in court later this month.

Senior Sargeant Rix said police would con-tinue doing all they could to keep drugs off the streets and said ice in particular was becoming more of a problem since it had such a negative behavioural effect on users.

MLOC Productions will bring the Mel Brooks’ musical The Producers to life this month with performances at the Phoenix Theatre in Elwood.

The musical is based on the 1967 comedy mov-ie written by Mel Brooks.

A play based on the fi lm became a Broadway theatre hit, running for more than 2,500 perfor-mances.

The show tells the story of down and out Broadway producer, Max Bialystock, who con-cocts a seemingly fail-proof plan to put on “the

worst show in history” to lose money as part of a tax dodge scheme. However, the show called Springtime For Hitler is a shock success, with hi-larious consequences.

The MLOC show is directed by Kingston resi-dent Jane Court with musical direction by Ian Ni-sbet and choreography by Taylor Hollands.

“I love The Producers because it’s so silly and pushes the boundaries,” Ms Court said.

“Casting was a challenge but I’m confi dent we have got the chemistry right between the cast

members selected.” Michael Young will play producer Max Bialystock, Matthew Hadgraft will play his business partner Leo Bloom.

The MLOC show has a total cast of 37 perform-ers.

“Our aim is to leave no joke unturned,” Ms Court said.MLOC Productions presentation of The Produc-ers will take place at 8pm on 8, 9, 14 and 15 No-vember and 2pm on 10 and 16 November. Book-ings via www.mloc.org.au or call 9551 7514.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 November 1913.MR Hanton’s motorboat, which broke away from the wharf at Frankston about a month ago, during a severe storm, has been found at Hampden.

***SIR John Madden has again suffered rather severe loss through the worry-ing of his valuable sheep by dogs, and it has been found necessary to shoot several wandering canine mutton experts found on the property. Surely some steps could be taken to abate the nuisance, as several other sheep breeders in the district have also suf-fered lately.

***MR James Henry McComb, C.E., shire secretary and engineer at Lilydale, died in a private hospital in Melbourne on Sunday afternoon. Mr McComb, who was 61 years of age, discharged his duties as usual at the meeting of Lilydale shire council on Monday last, but on Thursday he be-came suddenly ill, and a local doctor ordered his immediate removal to a private hospital in the city. An opera-tion for appendicitis was performed on Friday, but death ensued on Sunday afternoon. Deceased had held the position of secretary and engineer to Lilydale shire for about 16 years, and in addition to a similar position in the local water trust he was secretary to the Lilydale to Warburton Railway Construction Trust during the most troublous era of its existence. He was also a local preacher and an offi cer in the Lilydale Methodist Church, and by all sections of the community he was held in high esteem. He leaves

a widow and a family of six daugh-ters and one son, most of whom are grown up.

***MR C. Grice, of Frankston, rode four winners at a picnic race meeting at Corowa last week.

***MR S. S. Price, dentist, has notifi ed us that, owing to a rush of business at his city rooms, he has been unable to visit Frankston during the last three weeks, but he will be in attendance at Nurse Jackson’s on Sunday, Novem-ber 16.

***MR Andrew Male has sold his brick villa, in Main Street, Mornington, to Mr Blair, and the latter has disposed of the residence in Barkley Street to Mr R. Ford, at satisfactory prices.

***THIS (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, the last of the series of socials in connection with St. Paul’s Church will be held. A good programme has been prepared, and an enjoyable evening is assured.

***A TEAM of gentlemen tennis players from Mornington visited Frankston on Saturday last to try conclusions with the locals. The weather was beautifully fi ne, and after an inter-esting afternoon’s play, Frankston proved victorious. A dainty afternoon tea was provided by the local ladies, and was much appreciated.

***ON Wednesday last, 5th inst., Mr Walter Male, son of Cr Male, of Mornington, was united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Katie Thorne, second daughter of Mr and

Mrs James Thorne, of Green Island. ***

SIR John Madden has again suffered rather severe loss through the worry-ing of his valuable sheep by dogs, and it has been found necessary to shoot several wandering canine mutton experts found on the property. Surely some steps could be taken to abate the nuisance, as several other sheep breeders in the district have also suf-fered lately.

***THE monthly committee meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, was held on Monday evening last, 3rd November, the principal business being in connection with the proposed additions. The committee at the previ-ous meeting decided to issue deben-tures to cover the cost of the building, which embraces a members’ library room, a public reading room, and a large entrance hall. The vice-presi-dent, Mr A. E. Bates, at the request of

the committee, undertook to distribute the debentures, and reported at the meeting on the 3rd inst., that the full amount had been disposed of, princi-pally to local residents.

***MISS Queenie Young returned to Frankston on Thursday after an extended holiday in Tasmania. On the eve of her departure from Stanley, a pleasant social evening was tendered her.

***WE are pleased to state that the Rev R. Jackson, who has been laid aside for a fortnight with a severe cold, is now convalescent, and able to resume his duties.

***“NOTHING doing,” is the answer ob-tained from residents of Frankston in reply to inquiries as to what is being done re the annual Frankston show. Surely it is time a move was being made to get the preliminary arrange-ments under way.

***WE have received a letter signed “Fairness,” Somerville, complaining that the Frankston Choral Society has not published balance sheets of their concerts held at Somerville and Frankston, and stating that they ought to do so, in justice to those who sup-port the society.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly market at Somer-ville on Wednesday next, when they will offer a good yarding of cattle, pigs, and sundries. The same fi rm will also offer for sale, at Frankston, on Saturday, 22nd inst., a camper’s complete outfi t, consisting of tents,

furniture, and a lot of sundries. ***

A LARGE number of visitors took advantage of the Sunday train service to Mornington, which started last Sunday, and from appearances it seems likely that it will be well pat-ronised during the summer months.

***THE secretary of the Frankston rifl e club (Mr C. Dalman) acknowledges with thanks the following trophies and donations:- C. G. V. Williams, Esq., president, of “Mayfi eld,’’ Toorak, is presenting his annual beautiful gold medal for competition. Mr W. Williams, vice-president, “Ru-pertetan,” Langwarrin, is presenting for competition a trophy, to be called the “Rupertstan”. Donations from H. Masterton, Esq., vice-president, Frankston, H. Collins, Esq., vice president, Gracehill, Frankston, R. Ford, Esq, Mornington, £l 1s each; Dr Maxwell. “Thalassa,” Frankston, 10s 6d.

***IT is with profound regret that we have to record the death of Mr Wm. Nicholls, youngest son of Mr Thos. J. Nicholls, of Frankston. The deceased, who was only 21 years of age, and a strong, healthy looking young fellow, left this district about seven months ago, and went to New South Wales, remained there six weeks, and then went to Queensland, where he died. No news has yet come to hand as to cause of death, excepting that he was operated on in the Station hospital at Bundaberg on Saturday morning last, and expired the same day. The deceased was buried on Monday.

We are pleased to state that the Rev

duties.

Beer fest taps into thirsty marketBeer fest taps into thirsty marketTHE Mornington Peninsula’s premiere event for beer lovers, Beers by the Bay, is back.

This year’s festival aims to build on the success of 2012’s inaugural festival.

Visitors can expect up to 100 different beers and ciders, lots of great food as well as an improved selection of some of the fi nest wine from the region.

Live music from some of Victoria’s fi nest acts will keep people entertained while they enjoy and learn about beer.

The peninsula’s own Kisschasy, in their fi rst show in nearly two years, will headline the bill. Also featured are Twin Beasts (formerly the Toot Toot Toots), Fauves and The Quarry Mountain Dead Rats plus other acts to be announced.

“We are excited to be able to bring the festival back for a second year,” event director Rod Stoller said.

“We had loads of great feedback from last year so we are looking forward to bringing an even bigger and better festival for 2013.

“Several additions have been made for this year. Most notably this year’s festival will be a family-friendly event, with a designated children’s area featuring kids rides, face painting and other amusements.

“There will be several new breweries, a larger focus on wine, lots of new food stalls and a renewed focus on all things beer.”

The one- day festival is at Mornington Racecourse, Racecourse Rd, on Saturday 16 November.

Tickets are on sale at www.beersbythebay.com.au

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughONCE they were everywhere. High-spirited rappers roamed free across the earth, bringing joy into the lives of others through their ability to bust a rhyme. But almost without warning they were gone. Whether they were wiped out by an asteroid or a sudden change in temperature, I couldn’t say. One day, they dominated the airwaves with pulsating beats and exhilarating lyrics. The next they were silenced by a chronic infestation of boy bands and Celine Dion. It was no longer enough for a rapper to be funny – you had to be shocking in order to drag attention away from all the pre-fabricated pop artists who rolled off the assembly line. The era of the friendly rap artist was over.

I love rap music, particularly the early stuff. It was welcome reprieve from the airbrushed arena rock of the era. Back in the eighties, rock music mostly meant men with long hair and make up who dressed like the world’s ugliest gymnastics team. Both the mu-sicians and the music were airbrushed past the point of recognition. Rap mu-sic, however, was raw and untamed. It hadn’t yet fallen into the clutches of the multinationals that treat music like any other commodity; as something to be packaged, traded and ultimately consumed.

Back then, rap music felt genuine. Not only did it lack the machinery associated with the music business, it lacked instruments too; relying in-stead on drum machines and samples taken from other people’s records.

Forget fi fteen-minute drum solos and song cycles. Such extravagances are surplus to requirements in the world of hip-hop. Forget, too, dazzling cos-tumes and rhinestone-encrusted jump-suits. Rappers didn’t dress like gym-nasts. They dressed like regular folks who just stepped off the street. Albeit regular folks with a lot of gold jewel-

lery and very nice sneakers. Except, of course, for Kris Kross.

Chris Kelly and Chris Smith were better known as Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac respectively. Discovered whilst rapping in a shopping mall in Atlanta in 1991, they released their debut single the following year. Sam-pling the Jacksons Five, the Ohio

Players and the Honey Drippers, Jump is three delightful minutes packed full of exuberant, dexterous rhyming that topped the charts in countries across the world including Australia. They were just twelve and thirteen years old at the time.

There was more to Kris Kross than their music. They also made a distinc-tive mark on the fashion world by wearing their clothes back to front. Sadly, this failed to catch on more broadly, except for my nephew Noah who, when he was fi ve, preferred his jeans the wrong way round because he considered the pockets at the back to be of superior quality and wanted them to ride up front. As for me though, I simply lacked the courage to go backwards.

I can’t say exactly what I was doing at the age of twelve, but I certainly wasn’t producing a world-straddling pop colossus like the boys of Kris Kross. Most likely I was spending my time trying to master the art of the necktie (it was part of the high school uniform) and pulling the perfect mono on my dragster.

In retrospect, I should have been rocking the microphone with my clothes on back to front.

The song Jump clocked in at just three minutes and seventeen seconds and their time at fame’s apex lasted only slightly longer. They sold mil-lions of copies of the single and truck-loads of the accompanying album, Totally Krossed Out, but it was all downhill from there. Isaac Newton’s Law of Diminishing Returns took ef-

fect and subsequent releases did not fare so well. Just like when the Village People gave up their kooky costumes and turned all arty and serious or the tragic day when KISS removed the makeup and the world was confronted with exactly how plug-ugly they were, a lot of the fun vanished when the duo began to wear their clothes the right way round. After a couple more al-bums they broke up in 1996.

Fame is a curious thing. It’s as elu-sive as lightning and just as dangerous.

To have achieved it so early in life must be a very strange thing. Most of us live our lives hopeful that our best days lie ahead. That’s hard to do when you achieve your fi rst and only num-ber one hit at the age of twelve. Sadly, Chris Kelly – or ‘Mac Daddy’ to his fans – passed away earlier this year. He was just 34 years old. Pop music has always devoured its young; from Frankie Lymon onwards. But despite whatever personal tragedy might be-fall those who taste fame too young, there is always the music to remind of that brief, glittering moment when the world was theirs.

Recently, I celebrated ‘rap music ap-preciation week’. I prepared a playlist stuffed full of songs by The Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and the Fu-rious Five, RUN-DMC and the exqui-site Kurtis Blow. There was House of Pain and Young MC too. And, of course, Kris Kross. As a small trib-ute, next week I will wear my clothes backwards. A fi tting compliment to a true pioneer of hip-hop. [email protected]

When Kris Kross ruled the earthWhen Kris Kross ruled the earth

A CONSORTIUM of business focused organisations including Frankston City Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Greater Frankston Business Chamber, St Kilda Football Club, Proudly Frankston, Monash University and Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board have come together to deliver major business events in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region.

The group considers it essential that major business events are held to service one of Victoria’s most important economic regions.

With enormous growth anticipated in Frankston, and the many lifestyle and tourism options on the Peninsula, these events will put the region on the map as a key business destination.

The fi rst event on 22 November is a major address by Federal Small Busi-ness Minister, Bruce Billson, who will be preceded by the AFL’s government relations manager, Phil Martin.

Channel 9’s Brodie Harper will host the business breakfast.

It is expected that over 300 business people from across the region will fi ll the Frankston Arts Centre.

The concept will be taken into 2014, with four breakfasts organised to offer keynote addresses from prominent in-dustry and government representatives. Bookings at www.businessfrankston.com.au or call 9781 1422

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyREIGNING MPCA Provincial cham-pions Peninsula Old Boys are in some early season strife after their third straight loss this season.

The Old Boys are currently in last position on the ladder and look certain to miss the fi nals, given the talent of the sides holding the top six positions on the table.

The champions have taken just 15 wickets in their three games, clearly highlighting a defi ciency at the club.

Runs against are also a concern, leaking the third most runs (689) this season behind Rye (734) and Moo-rooduc (701).

On Saturday, the Old Boys were humiliated by Sorrento, the side they beat in last year’s Grand Final.

Set 254 for victory, the Old Boys were bundled out for just 129.

The Old Boys may have been ‘lippy’ in the grand fi nal last season, but they were sent packing from their home ground with their tails between their legs on the weekend.

Unlike Peninsula Old Boys, new kids on the block Langwarrin made light work of Rye and as a result sits on top of the Provincial table.

The Kangas set the Demons the mas-sive task of scoring 308 for victory, however, as expected, they were lucky to get half way.

The home side was bowled out for 153 in the chase.

18-year-old left arm quick and First XI debutant Matt Davie, the son of Alan, was electric early, removing both openers and fi nishing with the tidy fi g-ures of 3/26.

Dwayne Doig wasn’t needed as much as usual but still managed to snare 2/31, while opening batsmen Mark Cooper and Taylor Smith both picked up a wicket also.

Mornington star all-rounders Luke Popov and Matt Harper were sig-nifi cant in their side’s 65-run victory against Mt Eliza.

Popov picked-up 4/48 and Harper 3/47 for the Doggies, who are current-ly undefeated and in second position on the ladder.

The Mounties’ top order failed to fi re, except for Ben Tracy with 43, leaving the bulk of the scoring to the middle order and tail.

Tristan Faithful was the best of the Mt Eliza batsman with 56, but was forced to retire hurt.

Sam Creffi eld offered some resist-ance at the end with 28.

The match between Long Island and Crib Point went down to the wire, the Islanders getting home by just two runs.

After making 205 in week one of the match, the Magpies had the Islanders on the ropes at 8/158.

However, Jake Middleton (36) and Zac Clements (21), batting at nine and 10, ensured that the Islanders got over the line in a thriller.

The Magpies’ Luke Herrington picked-up four wickets, including those of Paul Hartle (11) and Scott Phillips (16).

Glen Barclay also helped himself to four wickets.

Baxter did what was expected and got the job done against Moorooduc.

Set 288 for victory, the Ducs were never in the hunt, losing their fi rst three wickets for 25.

Keeper Nick Williams was the shin-ing light in what was a bleak day for the Ducs, top scoring with 52.

Dale Irving was superb for Baxter with 5/79 from 18 overs, while Adrian Mack made it nine wickets in three matches with 4/33 off 17 overs.

Mack is in devastating form at the moment.

Heatherhill’s 174 last week didn’t look like enough to beat Mt Martha, however it proved to be 60-odd runs more than what they needed to get the points.

The Hills bowled out the Reds for just 106.

Matty Meagher was the star with 5/28 off 22 overs.

Meagher has taken 11 wickets in three matches this season.

Opening partner Daniel Woods snared 2/20 from 16.5 overs.

DISTRICTBy IT GullySEAFORD and Ballam Park remain winless in MPCA District cricket after the opening three rounds of the season.

The Knights were relegated from Provincial last season and haven’t fared much better in the lesser grade, while Seaford has not been able to re-cover from the player losses it experi-enced in the off-season.

At the other end of the table, Somer-ville, Delacombe Park and Pines all remain undefeated.

Carrum and Hastings both have two wins from three matches and fi ve sides have notched up one win each.

Main Ridge and Flinders played a one-day match on Saturday after a rain-affected day one.

It was a vital game for the Ridge, who came into the clash without a win.

They restricted Flinders to 7/153 from 40 overs, Jason Albress the best with the ball, taking 2/31 from 10 overs.

Louis Gillies was the chief run scorer for Flinders with an unbeaten 54, while Tim Clarke opened with 30.

In the chase, Michael Holmes got his side away to a fl ier with 52, while Ga-reth Wyatt made sure of the win with 35.

The Ridge got the runs with seven overs to spare.

Charlie Gillies was the best of the Flinders’ bowlers with 2/27 from seven overs.

Last year’s runner-up, Somerville, sits on top of the ladder after smashing Ballam Park.

Aaron Kaddatz tore through the Knights’ batting line-up, fi nishing with 5/18, while Keith Burdett had a trundle and picked-up 2/14.

Former Langwarrin Third XI player Zac Pedderson proved he has what it takes to play at the higher level, top scoring for the Knights with an un-beaten 41.

Delacombe Park made light work of Boneo, belting them by more than 150 runs.

Resuming with the bat after bowl-ing out Boneo for 115 in week one of the match, the Parkers lost a couple of quick wickets before Jon Guthrie and Nick Christides steadied the ship.

Guthrie made 92 while ‘Chikko’ fi nished on 91. Ben Brittain had some valuable time in the middle, scoring 28 and Simon Dignan fi nished not out on 18.

The Parkers ended at 6/274 off its 85 overs.

Carrum and Seaford Tigers played out the closest two-day game of the round.

Carrum made 8/186 in week one of the clash and were able to bowl out the Tigers for 179 in the 60th over.

After losing Gavin Gardiner-Smith early, the Tigers got their innings back on track through Gavin Whyte (32) and Mark Carroll (19).

However, the Tigers found trouble again, losing three quick wickets be-fore Dave James (30) and Ash Mills (68) provided a glimmer of hope for Seaford.

Jeremy Graves was simply superb for Carrum, picking up 7/52, while Matt Ryan snared two very timely wickets when the game appeared lost, fi rst getting Mills and then clos-ing down the innings, leaving the Ti-gers eight runs short of victory.

Hastings thrashed Seaford, win-ning by 90-odd runs.

The Blues made a more than com-petitive 188 last week and followed

up being superb with the ball, bowl-ing out the opposition for just 91.

Ben King, Tim Birch and Luke Hewitt all picked up two wickets each for Hastings. King snared 2/0.

Ryan McQueen was the best of the Seaford batsmen, scoring more than half of the team’s runs with 56.

Pines was poor with the bat in week one of the match against Baden Powell, scoring just 153.

It proved to be enough runs to notch-up yet another win though af-ter bowling out the Braves for just 105.

The Piners shared around the wick-ets, Ricky Ramsdale claiming three, Brett Hudgson helping himself to three and Pat Jackson and Brett Remy picking up a couple each.

Elia Carter and Sam Mullavey were the best of the Braves’ batsmen with 28 runs each.

Tigers, Knights still searching for first winTigers, Knights still searching for first winThrashing: Hastings made fantastic use of the ball to bowl out Seaford for just 91 runs on the way to an impressive District win over Seaford Tigers. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyRED Hill sits on top of the MPCA Sub District ladder with three wins from three matches.

Rosebud, Carrum Downs, Tyabb and Bal-narring all have two wins while Dromana is the only side not to have registered a win this season.

On Saturday, Red Hill somehow defended its 110 against Tootgarook at the Red Hill Showgrounds.

At one stage, the Tooters were 5/6.Klint James (16) and Travis French (25) of-

fered a little bit of resistance before they lost their last fi ve wickets for 21 runs.

Tootgarook was all out for 68.Simon Dart, Glenn Collett and Brent Mar-

tin all picked up three wickets, while James McCall took 1/4 from 3.1 overs.

Red Hill had another bat and performed shockingly again, scoring just 115 in 56 overs.

Balnarring successfully defended its 98 against Dromana.

The Hoppers were bowled out for 87 with Jacob Cook claiming 4/37 and Mitchell Skvor 3/10 from 13 overs.

In their second dig, Balnarring batted for 48 overs and made 4/177, Tom Hilet top scoring with 43.

Rosebud got the win against Tyabb.Chasing 142 for victory, the Buds resumed

they were able to cruise to victory. They were eventually bowled out for 202.

Sam Holland-Burch was the best of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 4/37 from 11 overs.

Frankston YCW enjoyed a rare win, beating Pearcedale by 20 runs.

Chasing just 97 for victory, the Stonecats looked shaky all the way through their in-nings, but managed to make 113 in 57 overs.

Shayne Gillings was the pick of the Pan-thers’ bowlers with 5/39, while Kaine Smith snared 3/21.

In the fi nal match of the round, Carrum Downs cruised to victory against Skye in a one-day match.

Skye batted fi rst and made 9/123 in its 40 overs. Patrick Beckham top scored for Skye with 32, while Steven Worker took 3/20 for the Cougars.

The Cougars then got the runs with fi ve overs to spare, thanks largely to the innings of Shane Walford (46) and Josh Spittal (38).
