PREDICTIONS of another sizzling hot summer have seen health authori-ties ramp up warnings about preparing for heatwaves.

Mornington Peninsula Shire says it has developed “individualised emer-gency management plans” to assist “el-derly and disabled residents in extreme heat conditions”.

The shire’s manager of home and

aged care, Jenny Van Riel, told The News the shire had a heatwave strategy.

Communicating with a range of com-munity groups and local organisations on or prior to days of extreme heat was part of the plan.

“In past years we have enacted the plan on several days over summer. Many aged care and other service pro-viders dealing with other at-risk groups are contacted directly by the Depart-ment of Health and Department of Hu-man Services as part of the state’s heat

health alert system.”She said other shire initiatives in-

cluded: Providing 5000 residents who re-ceive Home and Community Care ser-vices with information on how to stay healthy in the heat. Messages are reiterated by communi-ty care workers on days of extreme heat. Shire staff check on some of the more vulnerable clients – particularly those without family or support net-works – on days of extreme heat to

check they are okay and don’t require medical attention. In some instances, the shire trans-ports clients to a cooler place, for ex-ample, shopping centres and libraries, for the worst heat of the day. The shire provides assistance to cli-ents to improve the heat resistance of their home, for example, installation of external blinds and draught-proofi ng.

Predictions of a hotter than normal summer occurred in April when the World Meteorological Organisation

said the return of El Nino conditions would lead to higher than normal tem-peratures and drier conditions.

Recent warming of the tropical Pa-cifi c Ocean – a key indicator of El Nino forming – would likely lead to warmer and drier weather in eastern Australia and more bushfi res.

The Bureau of Meteorology said there was an 80 per cent chance day-time temperatures would be higher than usual.

Record jumpsRecord jumpsPENGUIN, Tasmania, was a happy hunting ground for two talented young Southern Penin-sula athletes late last month.

Holly Garac, of Eastbourne Primary, and Bri-ana McCrindley, of Boneo Primary, competed there in the Australian School Sports Champion-ships and have returned with records.

Both are members of Southern Peninsula Lit-tle Athletics Centre and train at Truemans Rd, Rosebud West reserve.

In the competitions, Holly won the under-12 long jump with a fi rst leap of 5.03 metres. She had broken the state record a month earlier with a jump of 4.99 metres but her best jump – al-though not in competition - is 5.12 metres.

She is the fi rst female of her age to jump more than fi ve metres.

Holly was also a member of the 4 x 100 metre relay team which took gold and broke the national record. Her Victorian relay team has broken two national records two years running. She came fourth in the individual 100 metres in a race that was separated by just 0.06 seconds for the fi rst four places.

Briana is the national under-11 long jump champion with a leap of 4.34 metres. She has jumped 4.58 metres in training, but this was her biggest jump in competition.

“The championships involve every school in Australia - so it is a genuine national ranking which is quite an amazing achievement,” South-ern Peninsula Little Athletics Centre president Jason Hodson said.

“Both girls have improved greatly over the past two months in their ability and technique. And they needed to improve to be able to beat the much favoured NSW girls.”

POINT Nepean Rd can be a tedious drive, all the way along the peninsula from Dromana. It becomes more tedious at the Sorrento-Portsea end, where much of it is 60kph. In summer it can be unbearable when the holiday crowds arrive. If Point Nepean Rd is packed, so usually is the main alternative route in and out, Melbourne Rd.

Unbearable and potentially dangerous. Once past Rye, the toe of the peninsula narrows dra-matically and turns north-west to Point Nepean.

Here’s the danger: along the ocean beaches from Portsea to Rye and beyond is a ribbon of highly fl ammable tea tree and moonah, which many householders have retained in their gar-dens because it survives in the sandy dune soil. Much of it cannot be control-burned because of its proximity to houses.

A fi re in this back beach growth – much indig-enous coastal growth is a mass of dead wood, with green tips – may be controlled so long as the wind stays north or north-west. But often Victo-ria gets strong afternoon south-westerly changes through summer.

This would drive the fl ames inland towards houses, and drive smoke and embers across the peninsula to the bay beaches. Beachgoers, chok-ing on smoke and stung by embers, would pack

up and leave. Look at the southern peninsula map. Where would these people go? The penin-sula tip is broadly served by the two main roads mentioned as far as Blairgowrie-Rye. Fleeing motorists who know the terrain could head inland to Browns Rd or Dundas St to St Andrews Beach – and more coastal tea tree.

Strangers to the area might chance their luck in side streets that lead nowhere.

The Mornington Peninsula Freeway proper does not start until Jetty Rd, Rosebud. Until then motorists have Point Nepean Rd or Browns Rd, or they can head for Flinders along Boneo Rd.

In a serious fi re – which the Mornington Pen-insula has not had for decades – there could be serious consequences from the lack of safe road exits from Rye to Portsea. Even when vehicles are safely on the freeway the danger is not over. It has been blocked a number of times in the past few years by relatively minor fi res.

Have the emergency services got plans to deal with such a crisis? It appears not. There is a long term plan to extend the freeway to Melbourne Rd, but that is years away, if ever.

One solution would be to designate suitable grazing land and other broadacres between Dun-das and Truemans roads as emergency refuges for vehicles heading away from the fi re danger, to which police and other emergency services would direct traffi c. This would minimise clog-ging of the freeway and Point Nepean Rd.

It would also deter drivers from heading for more potential danger on narrow country roads such as Browns Rd and the roads radiating from it in the shadow of Arthurs Seat.

A community group, Peninsula Speaks, wrote a submission to the Bushfi re Royal Commission that investigated the appalling 2009 Black Satur-day fi re tragedy – 173 dead, many in their cars, and 414 injured.

That submission began with words to the ef-fect: “The peninsula did not burn this year, but its time will come.”

Road danger: Cars banked up along the Mornington Peninsula Freeway after an accident (main photo) Picture: Yanni; and (inset) a photo submitted to the Bushfi re Royal Commission to illustrate inadequate escape routes on the Mornington Peninsula.

A ‘No Entertainment-No Nonsense’ approach to New Year’s Eve is de-signed to make Blairgowrie, Portsea, Rye and Sorrento safer and more en-joyable.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Bev Colomb said a “working partnership” with a community-based steering com-mittee, police, residents and businesses would reduce the negative impacts of celebrations in these areas.

She said the tried and tested approach had helped create a safe environment for holidaymakers and residents since

2001-2002.This New Year there will be no pub-

lic entertainment – including the Rye carnival - or public fi reworks and there are bans on alcohol in public places.

The Rye Pier car park will be closed from 4pm on New Year’s Eve (or at police discretion). Minor road closures are expected in Sorrento after the last ferry on New Year’s Eve although there will be a free, one-way bus ser-vice from Portsea to Safety Beach.

The shire’s liquor laws will apply from 30 December 2014 to midnight 1 January 2015.

The tough approach aligns with calls from the Court of Appeal for the gov-

ernment to do more to prevent random street violence. Last week the court more than doubled the jail term of a trained fi ghter involved in a deadly 2012 New Year’s Eve brawl at Rye in which David Cassai died after being punched.

Tyrone Russell, 23, attacked Mr Cas-sai’s friends as he tried to retreat from Russell’s friend, Dylan Closter, before the fatal punch.

The court found that Russell’s origi-nal sentence of 15 months’ jail, with a minimum of eight months, was mani-festly inadequate. It re-sentenced him to three years’ jail with a non-parole period of one year and nine months.

“Random street violence is a scourge on our society,” president Chris Max-well and justices Mark Weinberg and Joseph Santamaria said in a joint judg-ment at the court.

The shire has increased the amount being spent on security, lighting, signs and services throughout Nepean Ward towns.

“The shire’s community-led New Year’s Eve strategy is about maintain-ing and promoting a safe, family loca-tion for all to enjoy,” Cr Hugh Fraser said.

Fellow Nepean Ward councillor Tim Rodgers: “The summer holiday period is a great time for the residents and vis-

itors to the peninsula, and this strategy aims to ensure everyone has a safe and happy New Year’s Eve.”

There are no organised public events or activities on the southern Morning-ton Peninsula on New Year’s Eve. Ven-ues operating on New Year’s Eve will only be accessible by those who have pre-purchased tickets.

The alcohol bans include possession of sealed and unsealed containers of liquor in public places (unless sealed containers are being transported from point-of-sale to a vehicle or private residence) and possession of any glass container while in a public place.

THE Fire Danger Period started on Monday across Victoria’s southeast in-cluding the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions, and French Island in Western Port.

The Country Fire Authority’s Trev-or Owen said it would be introduced across all municipalities in the CFA’s South East Region because of current conditions.

FDPs are based on local conditions and take into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall.

Mr Owen said vegetation was al-ready very dry across the southeast and early indicators were pointing to “a long and challenging fi re season ahead”.

The declaration in the southeast fol-lows the Bureau of Meteorology’s cli-mate outlook that states it will be drier than normal in eastern Australia as well as in the north and centre.

“The summer temperature outlooks indicate a warmer than normal season for both days and nights. Climate infl u-ences include El Nino-like conditions in the tropical Pacifi c Ocean.”

Meanwhile, weather authorities have stated that the fi rst 10 months of 2014 have been the hottest since record-keeping began more than 130 years ago.

Mr Owen said it was “not too late to clean up your property but the window for burning off has closed”.

“Residents should take up green waste collection services offered by councils and shires when prepar-ing their properties through clearing,

mowing or slashing.”During the Fire Danger Period, all

fi res in the open air are banned with-out a written permit, along with most activities with the potential to generate sparks.

Permits can be obtained from the CFA or Municipal Fire Prevention Of-fi cer at Mornington Peninsula Shire or Frankston Council.

“The CFA will be taking a zero tol-erance approach to any fi res resulting from people fl outing the laws,” Mr Owen said. “Expect that any fi re you start to be fully investigated by police.”

Jude Kennedy, the CFA’s manager of community safety in the southeast, said people should “use common sense and take responsibility for preventing fi res”.

“If you have a fi re permit, make sure you read the conditions carefully. Fail-

ing to follow just one of those condi-tions can still leave you open to pros-ecution,” he said.

Mr Kennedy said residents could fi nd information about what is and isn’t permitted during the Fire Danger Period by visiting cfa.vic.gov.au or calling 1800 240 667.

The restrictionsThe restrictionsDURING the Fire Danger Period: A written permit is required to burn grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation. A permit may be issued by the Municipal Fire Prevention Offi cer or CFA district offi ce. Check with your municipality in the fi rst instance. Lighting a fi re in the open without a permit is an offence and can bring a penalty of more than $17,000 and/or 12 months’ jail. Barbecues and fi res for cooking and warmth do not require

a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fi replaces. Use of incinerators, chainsaw, lawn mowers, welding and grinding equip-ment, and vehicles that come in contact with vegetation and machinery with an internal combustion or heat engine is permitted provided conditions are fol-lowed. Farmers can fi nd legal guidelines and practical advice at cfa.vic.gov.au/farming – important especially for new farmers, bush block owners or hobby farmers. A Total Fire Ban declaration means no fi res can be lit for the declared district for that day unless there is a specifi c exemption or special permit issued. This applies irrespective of the fi re restriction status for a given mu-nicipality. Further details at cfa.vic.gov.au/can

Continued from Page 1But what is usual?Last summer and the one before

were both record-breakers. Even peo-ple who do not accept human-made climate change can see that heatwaves are becoming hotter, longer and more frequent.

The summer of 2012-13 was dubbed the “angry summer” by climate ex-perts. In March 2013, Melbourne and surrounds sweltered through the hot-test seven nights in a row ever record-ed, a record nine consecutive daytime temperatures over 30 degrees, and a minimum temperature above 20 de-grees for seven days in a row.

The previous record of six consecu-tive nights above 20 degrees occurred twice before – once during the heat-wave leading up to Black Saturday in 2009, and once in 2008.

Last summer saw more extreme heat, part of a longer-term trend to-ward hotter weather.

Since 1950, the annual number of record hot days across Australia has more than doubled, and both maxi-mum and minimum temperatures have increased by about 0.9 degrees. Over the past decade, the frequency of re-cord hot days has been more than three times the frequency of record cold days.

Heatwaves are also on the increase worldwide, with the hottest summers for 500 years affecting western and eastern Europe. North America had heatwaves in 2011 and 2012.

Earlier this year, the Climate Council said the heatwave before Black Satur-day in 2009 had killed twice as many people as the 173 people who died in the fi res.

The Bureau of Meteorology said heatwaves were “the most under-rated weather hazard in Australia”.

How to beat heatHow to beat heatWITH temperatures set to soar this summer, it is important to plan so people and pets stay safe and healthy in the heat, says Mornington Peninsula Shire in its current edition of residents’ newsletter Peninsula-Wide.

Preparing for hot weather: Check that fans and air-conditioners

work; service air-conditioners if neces-sary. Stock up on food, water and medica-tions so you don’t have to go out on hot days. Install awnings, shade cloth or ex-ternal blinds on the sunny side of the house.Hot day – morning: Avoid outside activities and run er-rands prior to midday. Avoid cleaning on hot days or do so in the morning. Open doors and windows to catch any cool breezes. Close them before the temperature starts to climb. Drink plenty of water during the day (check with your doctor if you are on

limited fl uid intake).Hot day – afternoon and evening: Close all external doors and win-dows, and pull curtains and binds. Pull down external window awnings and blinds. Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day; if you need to go out, stick to the shade and wear a hat and light-coloured, loose-fi tting clothing. Eat cold salads instead of using the oven to cook hot meals. Place a wet face cloth on the back of your neck; refresh it regularly by run-ning under cold water. Take a cool shower or bath when you get too hot.Looking after pets:

Provide shade for pets and lots of fresh, cool water; bring them indoors during the hottest part of the day Freeze a mix of diluted stock and treats to make an icy-pole.

Contact family, friends and neigh-bours to ensure they are coping.

If your home becomes unbearable, go to a public place with cooling like a library, shopping centre or cinema.

For information on heat-related ill-nesses visit the Better Health website at: www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au or contact Nurse on Call, 1300 6060 24.

Pick up a “Staying Healthy in the Heat” brochure at shire customer ser-vice offi ces in Rosebud, Mornington, Somerville or Hastings.

CHRISTMAS comes alive on Rye foreshore on the evening of Friday 12 December at the annual Carols on the Park.

Rye Beach Community Centre has run the free Carols on the Park for more than 15 years. It has grown in that time, with residents and visitors relaxing on their deck chairs or blankets and enjoying the evening of singing, dancing and fun put on by local talent.

Youngsters at the community centre are busily rehearsing their routines which are always a hit with the crowd - especially their parents.

Santa has the event on his itiner-ary, too, and his visit culminates in a spectacular fi reworks display.

Centre manager Kerryn Ladell said the event was a real commu-nity effort. “It is run by volunteers, the community centre organises it, Mornington Peninsula Shire sup-ports it through community event funding, local businesses sponsor the fi reworks and the Rye Lions Club runs the barbecue,” she said.

Food, drinks, candles, novelties and raffl e tickets will be on sale from 6.30pm and the show gets under way at 7.30pm.

In the event of inclement weather the show will be held at the Rye Primary School Hall in Lyons St.

Raffl e prize: Rye Beach Community Centre childcare staff Lindy and

Natalie with three giant hampers for Carols on the Park. Lots of other

prizes are on offer.

TRADERS opposed to mobile food vans setting up in Rye shopping centre say the same permit regulations should apply to all.

The vans appeared last week on a vacant block at the corner of Weir St and Point Nepean Rd and immediately caused shopkeepers to cry foul.

However, the mobile vendors have a street traders licence which allows them to operate after registering with municipalities they move into.

Those operating on privately owned land – as in this case - largely escape council control. The Weir St block is zoned Commercial 1.

Communications manager Todd Trimble said while the shire was “sympathetic” to the traders the vans were legal.

“These types of businesses are usual at school fetes or outside Bunnings but what is different here is that they are on private land. They are do-ing nothing wrong and there’s nothing the council can do.”

Up to 50 Rye traders held a street protest against the vans last week.

They claimed the rules are unfair and point out they pay for planning permits, rates, rents and li-cences.

They operate through lean winter periods while the vans come and go. Each group competes for the same customers.

Baha Tacos Rye general manager Kate Wild described the establishment of the food-truck “park” as “underhand and cheeky”.

“Some people think we are just greedy traders up against the poor little food vendors, but the

situation is the opposite.“Our businesses are run by one or two people

and we haven’t got the time to sit down and in-vestigate our rights and all the regulations.”

The News was unable to contact Australian Mobile Food Vendors Group director Frank Rusi-tovski by deadline. He is the organiser of the mo-bile food park.

Ms Wild said planning approval for Baha’s Taqueria renovation had cost thousands of dollars and taken 14 months to gain shire approval as well as advertise for objections. The mobile ven-dors moved in overnight and opened for business.

“If we’d known they were coming we would have had time to adjust,” Ms Wild said.

The shire has removed fencing and non-mobile food containers from the site, but this will not af-fect the majority of the mobile van operations.

Senior Constable Daniel Patton, of Rosebud po-lice, said the food vans were not a police matter. “We are aware of their presence and will ensure public order is maintained in the area,” he said.

Nepean Ward’s Cr Tim Rodgers blamed the vans’ ability to “set up shop at a moment’s notice” on the state government’s removal of red tape.

“It is disappointing they don’t need a permit to run this kind of thing. The shopkeepers put in an enormous amount of time and money and strug-gle through the lean periods, then have to pay rates and rent while the fl y-by-nights move in and make a killing,” Cr Rodgers said.

“Then there are issues regarding ‘Schoolies’ week and New Year’s Eve and concerns the area may become a hot spot.”

Cr Rodgers said moving the fencing had been “an improvement”.

A NEAR-miss between a light plane at-tempting to land at Tyabb airfi eld and a car on the Mornington-Tyabb Rd is being investigated by Peninsula Aero Club.

The incident on Saturday night last week was witnessed by a family in the car immediately behind. Speaking on radio 3AW, a caller who identifi ed herself as Dawn Baker, said she and her husband, Ken, and son, Jimmy, watched in amazement as the descend-ing aircraft narrowly missed the roof of the car in front.

Aero club president Peter Bernardi said the incident – recorded on CCTV – was being investigated by the club and that the pilot - if found - would be counselled.

The footage has been sent to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

“He came in a bit too close for com-fort – about a metre and half above the car – which is far too low considering there’s a tonne of runway for him to use,” Mr Bernardi said on Friday.

He said the plane – a single-engine Texan – was not kept at the airfi eld.

“We don’t know his name or where he is. We have his colours and we saw where he taxied to but he has since left.”

If found, Mr Bernardi said the pilot would be spoken to and given a show-cause notice and, “if we don’t think the message has got through, we’ll get an instructor to go up with him and assess him”.

“Most pilots don’t do it more than

once.”Mrs Baker was reported as saying

the car in front swerved to miss the aircraft as it approached the airfi eld runway about 7pm.

"This plane came in and, honestly, it was so close," she told 3AW.

"I think if the car in front hadn't taken evasive action I'm sure it would have been a little bit more disastrous."

Mrs Baker said her son was also

forced to slam on the brakes as the plane passed “about an inch” above the car’s roof.

"It was very close," she said.Mr Bernardi dismissed earlier re-

ports that there was no surveillance footage of the incident.

He said the club had been looking at the wrong day’s footage. Later search-es had proven more fruitful.

However, despite the media reports,

he said the incident had not been re-ported to airfi eld authorities by the families involved.

CASA spokesman Peter Gibson also said no personal reports had been made of the incident.

“We heard of it through the media,” he said.

“We understand the driver and fam-ily behind got a fright but no one has contacted us. We’d like them to.

Concerns about pilot error over Mornington-Tyabb Rd have increased since the opening of Peninsula Link. VicRoads has designated it as a recom-mended route for fuel trucks travelling between Long Island and Peninsula Link.

“Can you imagine the scene if one of those B-doubles full of petrol was in the way of an errant pilot?” one person who contacted The News asked.

21 JUNE COURT, WARRAGUL, VICTORIA PH: 03 5623 4410 • MOBILE: 0407 868 172E-MAIL: [email protected]

MANY southern peninsula residents have expressed frustration over Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s inaction over the Rosebud pool, the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA).

But to describe the whole saga as being characterised by a “lack of action” is untrue. Action there has been, and lots of it. Even large lumps of inaction were action, of a calculated sort. For example, the council did not comply with all government requests for information once the shire had been granted in-principle coastal consent to build on the Rosebud foreshore.

Some pool supporters were adamant that it must go on the foreshore and nowhere else. The Bracks–Brumby Labor govern-ment told the shire SPA could not go there because a pool was not coastal-dependent, as foreshore development must be.

Then in November 2010 Labor was re-placed by the Coalition government led by Ted Baillieu, which stalled on a decision until, fi nally, weeks away from the recent state election and under a new leader, Denis Napthine, it acceded to the council’s request to withdraw coastal consent.

In 2010, local MP Martin Dixon had promised to get the pool on the previously prohibited foreshore site. Local federal MP Greg Hunt supported him. Perhaps the 6.8 per cent swing against Mr Dixon in the re-cent state election partly refl ects his ill-con-sidered promise.

During all this, lots of other action oc-curred. Environment Minister Ryan Smith gave conditional foreshore ap proval, depen-dent on him being satisfi ed on seven issues. The shire only ever responded to one – on com munity consultation, a document that

was laughable due to its windy and unsup-ported assertions.

All through the saga the shire resolutely refused to consult all rate payers. Even though they would foot the bill, which was heading past $40 million, their views were never sought.

Was the shire’s aim, with allies Dixon and Hunt, to outlast the minister or force him to a decision or to give Mr Dixon, also a minister, time to lean on his reluctant col-league? We will probably never know. But two years passed in stalemate.

A recent letter by a reader was right in as-serting that no new location has been chosen for SPA. Originally 10 sites were investigat-ed until fi nally the shire made clear its re-quired location was the foreshore – despite knowing it was unacceptable to the govern-ment and its environment department.

The two decisions councillors made to build on the foreshore arose from simple maths: six councillors could outvote fi ve. But this didn’t mean the government would approve a project that contravened state pol-icy. The council majority was never going to get fi nal approval for the foreshore site.

Finally, a few months ago, all but a couple of recalcitrant councillors yielded to real-ity. The numbers changed when Tim Wood won the recent Red Hill Ward byelection replacing Frank Martin, who had always voted for the foreshore site. The new major-ity wrote to Mr Smith asking him to revoke coastal consent. The grateful minister read-ily obliged.

So where will the pool go? The land in Wannaeue Place, Rosebud, bought by the shire as an alternative SPA site, will make a magnifi cent commercial, residential and retail site for the rejuvenation of Rosebud. The pool will go elsewhere.

No matter which site is chosen, it will

cause controversy. There is land at Bes-grove St near the shire’s main offi ce; land at Truemans Rd; land in the Rosebud school triangle. All were examined, all found want-ing.

Besgrove St was judged unacceptable be-cause a pipe ran across the site. Asked what manner of pipe, shire offi cers were unable to say. Truemans Road Recreational Reserve was unsuitable because it was a former landfi ll site. Then CEO Michael Kennedy told a meeting it would cost $20 million to remediate. It was a debating point that, later, Dr Kennedy could not recall making. One forgets $20 million?

But there it was, on the offi cial shire re-cording of the meeting. And of course it should have been formally recorded some-where in the shire accounts, for Dr Kennedy to quote it so confi dently. It wasn’t, appar-ently.

Residents are right to describe the SPA process as a “farce”.

One more crucial element must be men-tioned – the damage done to Graham Pit-tock, one of the shire’s more passionate, practical and community-focused council-lors. He was found guilty – after an anony-mous complaint – of a confl ict of interest. He has a gym; the SPA was going to have one, too. Overlooked in the whole malodor-ous business was the fact – repeat, the fact – that he supported SPA with its gym but not on the foreshore site.

The whole SPA process has been embar-rassing. For an obdurate group to insist the project had to be done their way – deliber-ately blind to the hurdles that could not be overcome, thus depriving the southern pen-insula community and holidaymakers of an aquatic centre for the best part of a decade – is deeply embarrassing.

Car show drives fundraiserCar show drives fundraiserA CAR show at the Village Green Reserve, Rosebud, on Sun-day 30 November raised $7000 for the Southern Peninsula Ladies’ fi ght against cancer.

Participant Sharyn Simmonds said the amount “exceeded our expectations” and thanked the Mornington Peninsula community and businesses for their support. The money will assist research at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre “and, hopefully, one day help fi nd a cure not only women’s cancers but all cancers”.

The car show was one fundraiser by the group of eight women and one man, who have their sights set on competing in the Weekend to End Women’s Cancer benefi tting Peter Mac in February. They will take part in a 60 kilometre walk from 28 February to 1 March.

Imelda Noonan, Claire Reynolds, Ngaire Sandry, Narelle Mulcahy, Darlene Petersen, Caroline Kellett, Joanne March-ant, Jane Cockbill and John Westwood hope to raise $20,000 through various events, including a trivia night, comedy hypnotists’ night and sausage sizzles.

“Local businesses have been asked to support the group with fundraising and, to date, we have had an overwhelming response,” Ms Simmonds said.

“Imelda set out to encourage friends and family to partici-pate and a team of nine walkers has been formed. All have, in some way or another, like most of us, been touched by having, knowing or hearing of a person battling some form of cancer.

“As a team we decided not to dwell on these stories but to get out there and make a difference - small or large.

“Fundraising is new to all of us and, while not always an easy task, it has been fun and we all have been moved by the generosity of local business and the peninsula community.”

Predictable winsPredictable winsHo hum, [Nepean MP Martin] Dixon, [Mornington MP David] Morris and [Hastings MP Neale] Burgess all retained their seats at the state elec-tion as our representatives for the Mornington Peninsula, which was no surprise. Any Walt Disney character could win down here provided they had Liberal Party membership.

John Cain, McCrae

Labor gainsLabor gainsWhat a fantastic achievement for the young Labor [Nepean district] candidate Carolyn Gleixner. With the support of many people in the elector-ate behind her, she achieved one of the highest swings of 5.8 per cent in favour of Labor across Victoria (aver-age Labor swing 1.7 per cent), and cut Mr Dixon’s 13.7 per cent margin by close to half.

With second preferences (Labor won three important Booths in Ne-pean, and came close in eight others) this fresh faced young woman has se-riously established a place for herself in the electorate.

In the process of the campaign, she highlighted many long term and im-portant issues, and brought them into the public and political limelight, in-cluding our appalling public transport situation, lack of local health services, unemployment, serious problems with education and health services and ris-ing costs for families and pensioners struggling on low incomes.

On the environment, with her support, Point Nepean will now be protected from an inappropriate exclusive commercial development, in favour of retaining full public access and the community plan. Ninety nine year leases of national parks will be defunct, and the Rosebud pool com-mercial precinct will be built at Wan-naue Place where it should have been in the fi rst place, not on the Rosebud foreshore.

We will not have container ships despoiling Western Port and genuine long terms jobs and businesses for Hastings will be developed in their place. She also advocated for the Balnarring Common which, after many years, was fi nally successfully approved by [Mornington Peninsula

Shire] Council. And hopefully, the principle of protecting national parks will extend and be included in the current dispute over the Arthur’s Seat gondola commercial precinct develop-ment.

Many issues, projects and appeals from community representatives including these, have been falling on deaf Liberal ears for years. Carolyn achieved all this as a mere candidate in the space of 10 months – more than our Liberal representatives have been doing for years. No wonder the com-munity got behind her and produced such a swing.

Meanwhile we have four more years of ineffectual Liberal representation ahead of us – while looking with envy at our neighbours in Frankston who had the good sense to change to a Labor MP, and will be reaping the benefi ts.

The Liberals have taken Nepean for granted as a safe seat. We are stuck again and going backwards. The only chance people in Nepean have of addressing the problems we have endured for decades, and stop them getting worse, is to elect a Labor MP.

Well done to those who voted for Carolyn, and next time, for those who did not, please reconsider and vote for your Labor candidate. This is the only way to get our fair share of govern-ment attention and funding support and address the many problems con-tinually facing our community.

Aija Dowling, Flinders

The other sideThe other sideIt was refreshing to read the letter from Tony Nicholl (‘Suicide con-cern’, The News 2/12/14) revealing that there is another side to domestic violence. For decades all we ever read is hate-male.

I am an old bloke and I’ve seen it all, starting with my own father who returned from Tobruk in World War 2 mentally wrecked. There certainly are violent husbands and fathers, all of this is already well documented, and the jails are full of them, rightly or wrongly.

No mention is ever made of the destroying woman. She rarely uses physical violence, she uses something far more devastating and dangerous: mental violence. Same as what hap-

pened to dear old dad.Our state government has promised

a Royal Commission into domestic violence. I hope it looks into both sides and the causes, together with the existing laws that cause a lot of the problems. I wouldn’t want just more ways to jail men and more laws.

Too many women want to get out of their marriage and keep the house, the kids and much of the husband’s in-come; then they bring in the boyfriend who takes over everything. Imagine the husband?

I’ve heard absolute fairy tales and lies that only a magistrate could believe in making his decisions. Too many destroyed men then suicide.

Often, it is unrelenting middle or working class poverty and fi nancial distress caused by Champagne tastes in housing and lifestyle, but on a “beer” income; this equals shocking debt. “When poverty walks in the door, love fl ies out the window.”

I am not a mysogynist. I have been married for 47 years. I treat most men and woman equally.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

LETTERS

By Paul ‘Tracker’ PingiaroIT has been a bit of a strange week for fi shing around the Mornington Peninsula. The snapper are still about but very unpredictable. We are still seeing some really nice fl athead with fi sh regularly reaching 45cm plus.

However, the squid have returned with a vengeance. Many anglers are once again starting to focus their ef-forts on the cephalopods.

Whiting are continuing to bite in Western Port with good catches com-ing from Quail Bank. While the fi sh-ing has been inconsistent. Best results have been in 5-6 metres.

The warm water currents this year have brought blue bottle jellyfi sh to the back beach, schools of kingfi sh to the southern peninsula and, I expect makos to be patrolling Bass Strait.

We are now entering another El'Nino weather pattern. Drought and a hot long summer is on the cards. This weather pattern is the reason we are seeing so many high pressure sys-tems and many snapper anglers would believe that this would make the fi sh go nuts. With these highs we have had some quite large temperature shifts. Many anglers look to the rising barometer as the peak in snapper fi shing time. But those targeting snap-per should be looking at a rising or stable ambient air temperature,steady or rising barometer and if possible a

change of tide.The season of 1997 in my fi shing

diary showed similar fi shing patterns. Fickle fi sh, large fi sh and not huge numbers. Do the snapper know what's coming or is this just coincidence ? For the record, my whiting catches in 97 are very similar to this year.

James Rodgers from Unreel fi shing charters told me

"In my opinion it's been an unusual season with some amazing land based and shallow water fi shing and also an incredible spread of snapper from top to bottom of the bay. No place in the bay has missed out on its share of

the action and, as a result, the snapper are not in such tight schools and most people have found them to be patchy and diffi cult to catch large numbers as they have done over the past decade.

“There are a number of old timers, including myself, that recognise similarities in this season to others from the past and my opinion is that it certainly has been a tougher one for all of us, but I feel that it's not such a bad thing as it’s helping us to properly appreciate and enjoy the fewer snap-per that we catch.

“I am fi nding that I'm using almost twice the fuel and only getting about

Weather changes and so do the fishWeather changes and so do the fishBoat catch: Brenda Foley caught this lovely snapper onboard Unreel fi shing charters.

two thirds of the amount of snapper I would expect from a recent season.

“We usually end up just short of our limit, which is still a very good result."

Matty Hunt from Mathew Hunt fi shing service gave me this summary: "Snapper season has been tougher than most we've had over the last seven years or so. Having said that, average size is defi nitely bigger and the deeper waters, 18 metres plus, have been where the larger schools of medium size fi sh have been hiding. Those persisting in the shallows have been rewarded with great fi shing after dark.

“Best baits have been pilchard, squid and soury while fi shing differ-ent spots rather than hounding one area has been a better option this season as well."

So, even with a change in weather patterns, anglers have a heap of op-tions. So pick your time and go wet a line.

Tight lines and calm seas.

SPORTING clubs are built on solid foundations when they have members like John Woods.

The Mt Eliza cricketer last week played his 500th consecutive game over 36 years for the club against Tyabb in the MPCA.

But, of course, it’s not just on the sporting fi eld that members make their mark.

Club president Mark Curwood said an informal audit had calculated that Woods, 75, had personally raised more than $40,000 for the club, as well as being a leading player in countless fundraisers, horse-racing syndicates and raffl es during his injury-free playing career.

On top of all that, “Woodsy”, as he is affectionately known, also cleaned the clubrooms on Sunday mornings after matches for 15 years.

These are the solid foundations every club dreams about.

The point is not lost on Curwood: “Woodsy is one of those guys every club wishes they had. He’s a terrifi c guy.

“These days the younger players are just not as dedicated, but he’s cap-tained teams, he organises the ins and outs, plays wherever he’s needed - he does everything asked of him.”

Typically, ‘Woodsy’ downplayed his remarkable games record, prefer-ring to talk up Tyabb Cricket Club’s generosity in obligingly agreeing to transfer their scheduled home game to Mt Eliza so his milestone could be celebrated on his own turf.

Casting his mind back – and then further back - to the 1978-79 cricket season, Woodsy said he was drawn

Club man: John Woods celebrates 500 consecutive games for Mt Eliza.

‘Woodsy’ basks in team’s glory‘Woodsy’ basks in team’s glory

to Mt Eliza when his then 12-year-old son, Tim, began playing juniors. He liked the place immediately and never looked back.

Highlights have been “few and far between” he admitted modestly, before mentioning a “couple on tons” and, of course, playing in two winning grand fi nals - 1982-3 and 2009-10. The fi rst holds extra special memo-ries as he played alongside Tim in D-Grade, while the second was in C2 Grade.

Nowadays he prefers to play every second week, or only when an up-and-coming youngster is unavailable.

“It would be unfair of me after such a long innings to get in the way of someone with a bright future,” he said.

Tributes fl owed at Sunday’s mile-stone game. ‘Woodsy’ ran through a club banner to the cheers of his team mates and even had the honour of moving up the batting order – from No 11 to No 9 when the eighth wicket

fell - to give him some show time at the crease.

“It was a cameo appearance,” he quipped. “I hung around for a while and made three not out.”

But the highlight of the day, in his eyes, was not his remarkable achieve-ment but that his team won, reversing a poor result against Tyabb in the previous match.

That’s “Woody’s” style - and it’s what being a “solid foundation” is all about.

Local wines Local wines make showmake showPENINSULA wines were on show at the inaugural Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association regional wine show with 230 wines entered.

The two major awards were the Chardonnay Provenance Award and the Pinot Noir Provenance Award, which involved judging a pair of wines three and four years apart.

Winners were the 2013 and 2010 Montalto ‘Estate’ chardonnay and the 2008 and 2012 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard pinot noir.

First two people elected to the hall of fame were Montalto Vineyard win-emaker Simon Black and Yabby Lake Vineyard winemaker Tom Carson.

The show was held at Willow Creek Vineyard and Salix Restaurant in Merricks North.

Wines were scored on a 100-point scale by Philip Rich, Steve Flam-steed and Dan Buckle, who awarded medals to 66 per cent of all wines submitted. In the pinot class, 77 per cent received medals.

Masons look to the futureMORNINGTON Masons are getting ready to celebrate their 125th year by doing even more for the community. Lodge members John Tribe, David Tuckwell, Bob Smith, Lindsey Wilson and John Grieve last Friday conducted one of their regular sausage sizzles outside hardware giant Bunnings last Friday raising money for local charities. Mornington Lodge Master John Tribe said masons wore bright vests to promote local Freemasonry.


SORRENTO Sailing and Couta Boat Club has appointed two-time former Australian sailing team coach Adrian Finglas as its new sailing operations manager.

His role covers all activities, from off-the-beach to couta boats.

In2008, Finglas looked after the Yngling – pronounced ing-ling - and Paralympics classes leading up to the Beijing Games in 2012. There

he focused solely on the Paralympic classes – all the while running the Queensland Academy of Sport sailing program for Yachting Australia.

“In club life it is all about participa-tion,” Finglas said. “So, it doesn’t matter if your boat is a canoe with a sail, an Optimist or a 420.

“Children are our future commo-dores, race offi cers, volunteers and members. All are welcomed, loved

and included and this is the basic formula that I stick by.”

Finglas counts among the highlights of his sailing career a second at the 2005 Etchells world championships in San Francisco, winning a Sydney-Hobart on Bumblebee V and the Taser world championships in 1989.

The Sorrento club will host next year’s Moth World Championships.

Now in their 14th year of toy making, the 15 dedicated volunteers have made and distributed more than 13,000 beautifully hand-crafted toys over their journey.

This year, almost 1000 toys will be distributed by Rosebud Anglicare, Rosebud Salvation Army and the Western Port Community Centre.

The not-for-profi t group always welcomes donations of clean timber offcuts, left-over paint and unwanted tools.

New members are always welcome. They should call president John Bay-liss on 59862231.

A CONFERENCE in Langwarrin involving representatives of six major religions is being hailed as “the fi rst of its kind”.

More than 300 people from all over Victoria attended The Conference of World Religions 2014 held by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Associa-tion Victoria at its Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque.

Leaders from the Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Hindi, Sikh and Buddhist faiths spoke about the application of peace and social harmony through the teachings of their religions.

The mosque’s leader, Imam Wadood Janud, spoke about Islam’s “true and peaceful teach-ings”.

Dr Rev. Alaxander Yule represented Christi-anity; Rabbi Ralph Genende, Judaism; Hojun Futen, Buddhism; Jasbir Sigh, Sikhism; and Bhakta Dasa, Hinduism. The conference was moderated by Norman Currie, director and producer of Channel 31.

“The conference was a great success and it brought various communities and world’s major religions and their followers under one roof and, more importantly, everyone who came on the podium agreed that their respective religion spreads peace and harmony in the society,” Ah-madiyya Muslim Community Victoria spokes-man Aziz Bhatti said.

He said members of the Ahmadiyya commu-nity were “working hard for the cause of peace and love for all, hatred for none”.

Line of faith: At The Conference of World Religions 2014 are, from left, Imam Wadood Janud, Alexander Yule, Norman Currie, Jasbir Singh, Bhakta Dasa; above, Jasbir Singh speaks about Sikhism.

ALMOST a lifetime of giving back to the community epitomises the role of the Southern Peninsula Concert Band.

The not-for-profi t community band has an established role of service to others on the Morn-ington Peninsula.

This includes performing at annual Sorrento and Blairgowrie yacht club openings, their retirement village and community market day appearances, and the four Anzac Day marches in one day. Starting at Dromana at 9am, the bandsmen are back on the bus for the drive to Rosebud’s march at 10 o’clock, with no time to dilly-dally because Sorrento starts at 11 o’clock, and then it’s back to Rye for the noon parade. Stamina is the key…

At Christmas there are markets at which to play, hospital rounds on the Tuesday before and Carols by Candlelight on the village green. Right now the band is rehearsing for three Christmas concerts and its 50th birthday next year.

“The community concert band aims to promote the enjoyment of performing music in a friendly, social environment,” band member Michael Small said. “It aims to provide a public service through musical entertainment to the residents of the Mornington Peninsula and surrounds.”

Up to 35 members attend rehearse 8-10pm Fridays in the hall next to the concert shell at Rosebud.

President Allan Fenney recalled that, in the mid-1960s, former shire councillor Jim Baker put an ad in the old local paper, The Gazette, wanting “bandsmen, fathers and sons”.

“At that time, Wal Elliget had a small brass band practising at the Sorrento RSL,” he recalled. “Wal answered the ad and brought his brass group to Rosebud.

“Little did he know that he would be doing this for many years to come, and he also tells me he wore out two station wagons in the process.”

Band master Doug Sappie took charge, rehearsing at the old RSL, where the Rosebud cinema is now.

Mr Baker, who was also president of the youth and citizens’ club, asked the shire for seed money to start the band and about fi ve pounds was provided to buy music and band equipment.

“The youth and citizens’ hall was gradually taken over by the band and the Shire of Flinders Youth and Citizen's Band came to be,” Mr Fen-ney said.

Name changes have included Shire of Flinders Youth and Citizen’s Band, Shire of Flinders

“This message is more important and more crucial for world peace than it has ever been.”

Guests at the conference included were Members of Parliament, a mayor, councillors, an assistant police commissioner and police, government offi cials, members of an interfaith

network and academics. National president of the Ahmadiyya com-

munity Imam Inam-ul Haq Kausar emphasised the need for “mutual understanding and respect between the followers of different faiths in order to achieve peace and harmony in today’s world”.

Concert Band, and, since the shire amalgama-tions, Southern Peninsula Concert Band.

Many people have been involved in the band over the years. Mr Baker served as president for 24 years, followed by Wal Elliget 1989-91, Len Williams 1991-94 and Lyn Reynolds 1994-2003. Allan Fenney has been president since then.

Conductors over the years have been Doug Sappie, who had a music shop in Ninth Ave, behind the Commonwealth Bank,as well as Tom Whitaker, Arthur Jones and Wal Elliget, who all wielded the baton before John Browning took over 1971-76. They were followed by Dromana Technical School music teacher Don Hale and

ex-naval musician and percussionist Paul Faru-gia. Jack Butcher, who had a solid brass band background, followed 1982-1991.

The present musical director, Barry Fletcher, is regarded as a music educator, performer and conductor “of unlimited patience and tolerance”. He has held this position for the past 20 years.

“This stable partnership is one of the many reasons why the band has maintained and in-creased its reputation in the area of concert band performance,” Mr Small said.

“It is anticipated that this remarkable partner-ship will continue long into the future.”

BRILLIANT street appeal is the fi rst indicator to the quality on offer with this striking contemporary home. A use of timber along the front, cleverly incorporated into the garage roller door and a neatly paved driveway abutting landscaped gardens all create an impression of true coastal style. The main bedroom is zoned in the north corner of the home and features a luxurious ensuite with double shower and a walk-in robe. A home theatre has been established in the front living room but this could easily become a parents retreat or formal lounge area. Timber fl oors greet you at the entry and continue through to the main open-plan living area which sparkles under the high ceilings, awash with natural light. A galley-style kitchen has a dishwasher and wall-oven, with walls of cupboard space – a design feature unto themselves – seamlessly merging with the crisp white decor. The adjoining meals and lounge area spread out before a full-length series of windows and sliding glass doors that open out to a splendid alfresco entertaining deck.

POLICE are conducting major traffi c blitzes on the Mornington Peninsula.

Operation Raid focuses on removing all im-paired drivers from the roads.

“Our culture now recognises drink drivers as bloody idiots - but sadly we still have a few of them on our roads,” Inspector Karen Nyholm said.

“Tragic deaths and serious injury are only a mo-ment away when you are driving a vehicle. What gives anyone the right to endanger my family or your family?”

Frankston Highway Patrol intercepted two mo-torists on the peninsula on Monday 24 November who returned alcohol readings of 0.173 per cent and 0.152 per cent.

Sgt Barry Judge, of the Rosebud Highway Pa-trol, said the fi rst-offence drivers would lose their licences for 17 and 15 months respectively. “This will impact their employment, their families and, potentially, impact their lives in a direction that is hard to come back from - all over one night’s drinking.”

Police will continue their focus on speed, drink driving and other impairment behaviours, such as drug use and fatigue.

Operation Suer Stay focuses on offending driv-ers and, with this year's road toll sitting at 237 - 22 more than last year, police will continue the en-forcement with a hope that the message will get through and keep everyone safe at Christmas.

FUNDING from Medicare Local has helped po-lice and Peninsula Health extend their partner-ship by establishing a second Pacer unit on the peninsula.

Inspector Karen Nyholm said the Police Am-bulance Crisis Emergency Response mobile unit provided support to police dealing with those who are mentally ill.

“Combing the resource and experience of a po-lice member with a mental health clinician im-proves our ability to respond to a person needing

medical treatment,” she said. “This multi-agency approach to the treatment of mentally ill patients has been trialled across the state with incredible success.”

She said the Peninsula Health clinicians had been a valuable resource for frontline police and that the outcomes for the community were life-changing.

The second Pacer unit will work out of the Rosebud police complex responding to incidents across the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston.

DETECTIVES are searching for a man who threw a concrete block through the window of a café in Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs, at about 2:35am on Sunday 28 September and stole a quantity of energy drinks.

The man drove to the cafe in what is believed to be a station wagon.

Detective Senior Constable James Keegan, of Frankston Crime Investigation Unit, said the man depicted in the CCTV images could assist with his inquiries.

MT Eliza Bowling Club has its focus - and fi nances - fi rmly on fi xed the future with a $500,000 modernisation drive designed to lure a new genera-tion of bowlers to the club.

Central to the ambitious upgrade program is lighting for night games and replacing natural turf with an all-weather synthetic surface to increase the season from eight-months to all year.

Other works include extending the clubhouse verandah for better sun protection, repairing the roof and improving disabled access.

Money for the planned $514,000 works will come from a $364,000 Mornington Peninsula Shire guaran-teed bank loan and $150,000 from the club.

Club president Ken Broadbent said that with the club soon to celebrate its 50th anniversary, board members had become increasingly aware of the need to ensure the game's appeal for the next 50 years.

That meant attracting new, younger

members by extending the club's hours of operation and providing more casual settings.

“The average age of our current members in about 73, which is fairly typical of most clubs, and it has been that way for a long time,” Mr Broad-bent said.

“But we want to expand the appeal of our club and that means regenera-tion by bringing in new blood from a younger age group, not so much teenagers, but people aged in their 40s and 50s.

“And as these people are for the most part still working, we identifi ed the need to extend our operating hours for evening play and more casual settings.”

Mr Broadbent said the club had achieved some success through its mid-week “barefoot bowls” program aimed at novices, and Sunday “break-fast and bowls” sessions.

Critical to the club's future fi nancial viability is its planned shift to year-round operations, which will require

converting the club's two greens from grass to synthetic surfaces.

The season now runs from the beginning of September to the end of April, with surface works scheduled to be completed during next year's off-season.

If all goes to plan, the 2015 off-season will be the club's last.

Mr Broadbent said fl oodlights would soon be installed on the green immediately outside the clubhouse to enable evening play.

The club has also secured an extra $25,000 grant from the state govern-ment to help pay for the lighting.

Mornington MP David Morris said the program allowed sporting clubs to “bring forward” projects, with the government providing dollar-for-dol-lar funding for community contribu-tions of up to $50,000 for small sport and recreation projects.

In a report to councillors shire fi nance manager Geoff Emberson said the club had sound fi nances, strong revenue streams and was committed

to environmental principles.He said the club was a “key commu-

nity asset” on council-owned land and was committed to providing access for community groups and in promoting bowls for juniors and families.

“The stated desire to ‘open up’ the facility to other users, especially young people, is consistent with the shire’s access and equity principles,” Mr Emerson stated.

“While it must be acknowledged that the facility is fi rst and foremost a bowling club, the club has dem-onstrated that they are keen to work with, and make facilities available for, community groups and local schools...

“The club is planning to continue to integrate with the local community by promoting and encouraging involve-ment in a range of club activities.”

He said the club has shown “initiative” with its proposals and had demonstrated its ability to fi nance the works.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville Hall holds Xmas gift sale Somerville Hall holds Xmas gift sale Compiled by Melissa HodgeWE are pleased to hear that Cr Ritchie who has been laid aside by illness for the last ten days is now recovering, and hopes to be about again in a few days.

***PEDESTRIAN, cyclists and wood choppers are requested to note that entries for the Frankston New Year’s Sports close, for the two fi rst on Satur-day, December 19th and for the wood cutting on December 15th.

***THE continued illness of Mrs Jacobs of Frankston, is causing her friends much anxiety. She was conveyed to St Pancras’ private hospital, where she now lies in a very precarious state of health. It is hoped that the unremitting care and attention she is receiving will result in her complete recovery and restoration to health.

***THE drawing for Miss Martindale’s handbag, in aid of the Patriotic fund took place on Thursday, conducted by Mr Mark Brody The winning ticket being No 27, held by Mr Cameron. Miss Martindale desires to thank all those who took tickets, and also those who assisted at the sale of them The fi -nancial result of the drawing was very satisfactory.

***A SALE of gifts and Xmas Tree will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Somerville, on Saturday, 19th Dec under the patronage of St Andrew’s Ladies’ committee. Cooking competi-tions will take place, full particulars of

which can be obtained from Miss H. White, hon. sec. and from dodgers.

***AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings council it was decided that “a roll of honor “ should be kept of those residents who had gone to the front to fi ght for their country. The parents and friends are requested to forward full name, rank, company, etc, to Mr J. E. Jones Shire secretary, Moorooduc.

***FOR having failed to give to the local municipal authorities written notice of his intention to build, George M. Dunn was at Northcote court on Monday fi ned £2, with £2 2s costs. For hav-ing failed to pay the prescribed fees according to laws the same defendant was fi ned £2.

***MESSRS Robert Gunn and Co. have arranged with the Defence Depart-ment to have an inspection of horses suitable for riding and gunners at the Mornington trucking yards on Thurs- day next. Owners wishing to present their horses for inspection are asked to advise the agents (Messrs Gunn and Co) as early as possible. On Monday evening next we will have the opportunity of again renew-ing our acquaintance with the Mau-rice Gerald Company, who, it will be remembered some years back, play-ing a successful season of one week in Frankston, producing different plays each night, including “Conn the Shaughaun,” and other plays. On this occasion a new version of Mrs Wood’s

great work ‘”a new East Lynn” will be staged. Mr Gerald is bringing along a fi rst class professional company and should be greeted with a good house

***FRANKSTON proved to be win-ners on Saturday last, in a tennis match against Tala club, Hawthorn, by one game. It was a closely con-tested match, and consequently, most interesting. The play all round was good, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent. A desire was expressed all round that the Tala club should be met again shortly, to have another “go”.

***THE friends of Mrs W. W. Young of Frankston, will regret to hear of the death of her mother, which took place on the 30th November at Rushworth. The “Chronicle” makes the following remarks with regard to deceased:— ‘The death occurred at her daughter’s residence, Rushworth, on Sunday 30th Nov. of a very old colonist in the per-son of Mrs Sarah Stanley. Deceased was also an old and respected resident of Rushworth, where she lived for many years with her daughter (Mrs W. Young) and after with her other daughter (Mrs E. Robinson). Mrs Stanley came to Victoria in about the year 1842, but for several years prior to that had resided in New Zealand. She was therefore a colonist for aver 70 years, and her age at the time of her death was 95. In many respects she was a remarkable old lady, active, and retaining all her faculties almost to the last. It can readily be imagined that she saw some stirring hazardous times

in the forties, and she could give some thrilling accounts of the happenings of those days. She was a kind, benevolent old lady, and it was but just that she should reach a peaceful end by quietly passing away in her sleep. The remains were interred in the Rushworth cem-etery on Monday afternoon, the Rev. H. Richardson conducting the funeral service. An excellent programme was provided by the Westernport entertain-ers, at the picnic concert, on Friday evening last. A very large audience assembled and everyone expressed the opinion that the music supplied by the orchestra surpassed anything that was ever heard in the local hall before. The programme was very lengthy and in-cluded some fi rst class recitations and songs. A detailed report will probably appear in the next issue. It has been decided to again hold the Xmas tree in the hall on Xmas eve. Arrangements are now well in hand and an enjoyable evening will again be provided for the children. The proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Hospital.

***LAST Thursday evening a farewell social was held in the Town Hall for the purpose of wishing Messrs J. and G. Buckley and E. Wilson a bon voy-age and a good time when they get to the front, as they are leaving with the Second Expeditionary Force. Cr Oates (president of the Shire) and Cr Watt, Dr Plowman and Messrs J. L. Parkes (president Westernport Progress As-sociation,) Rev F. E. Watts and J. D. Hodgins spoke very feelingly to the volunteers, all of whom briefl y re-

sponded. The following programme was then gone through: Selection by brass band followed with National An-them, overture orchestra, song, Miss A Robinson; song, Miss K. Jones; song, Mr J. Carmicheal (encored); song, Miss J. Reid ; recitation, Miss Na-than; selection brass band; song, Mr L Sparks. Cr Watt thanked the people for their attendance, also the brass band and orchestra, who kept things lively with the fi ne music which they supplied. A sumptuous supper was handed round by the ladies during the evening. A euchre party and dance was held in the local Town Hall on Friday even-ing last, when a good attendance was present. The entertainment being in aid of the Roman Catholic Church.

***CONSIDERABLE interest was ex-cited in the usually quiet township of Moorooduc on Wednesday even-ing on the occasion of the opening of the new picking shed just completed for the Two Bays Nurseries. Limited at the property of Messrs G. and C. Griffth, of Somerville. The building, which is erected at the Moorooduc Station, is a substantial weatherboard building, 40 ft, with 12 feet walls with an iron roof. There is a platform slid-ing where fruit can be loaded from the shelf right into the railway trucks. The brothers came from America in 1885 where they gained their experience in fruit culture.From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 12 December, 1914.

By Stuart McCulloughDEMOCRACY was, for a time, quite a useful thing. But much like last year’s milk, it has gone seriously off and to catch the merest whiff is a startling affront to the senses. It pains me to say it, but democracy as we knew and loved it is ruined. I speak, of course, of the Victorian State elec-tion. In declaring that the democratic process has pretty much run its course, I’m not complaining about who beat who either on an individual or overall basis. Rather, I’m talking about some-thing far more fundamental and im-portant. It’s the very residue that binds communities together, the glue that is at the heart of our social cohesion. I speak, of course, of sausages.

We have compulsory voting. If you don’t turn up to mark your boxes and stuff them through the slot, you’re at risk of being fi ned. For the most part we, as a people, accept that we must present ourselves at the local primary school to do our duty and play our small part in the broader democratic ballet. But in surrendering our freedom not to vote, we do so on a very specifi c understanding. If we are to give up our Saturday morning to run the gauntlet through the school gates past a bunch of leafl et wielding political evangelists in order to stand in a line for a good half hour, all we ask in return is that there are sausages to make the whole experience seem worth the trouble.

The sausage sizzle is an essential part of the voting process. Not only does it provide a valuable incentive to vote, it presents primary schools with a fantastic opportunity to raise

funds. This, without doubt, is a won-derful thing. Last Saturday, we walked through the sunshine down to the lo-cal school gate. Like the ghouls of the Luna Park Ghost Train, frightening people loitered on the footpath shov-ing pamphlets forward in an act that is best described as ‘reverse begging’. It can’t be a fun job. Indeed, it must be diffi cult not to take it a little personally

when someone strolls up and point-edly takes the materials for someone else’s candidate only. Frankly, it can’t be too enjoyable to offer a ‘How to Vote Card’ to someone like me. When some poor soul representing a party that advocates for the rights of animals proffered an information sheet, I was forced to decline saying only: ‘Too hungry.’ I watched as several adults

scaled the fence simply to avoid the ‘How to Vote’ blockade.

The queue stretched right through the schoolyard. As we took our place, I decided to sniff the political winds and discovered they lacked the unmis-takable aroma of barbeque. Instantly, I regretted my decision not to take all the information I could from the gar-goyles at the gate. Had any of the can-didates been running on a ‘compulso-ry barbeques at all elections’ platform, that person would surely have won my vote. Worst of all, there was no explanation. Was the lack of sausages part of an elaborate preference swap deal between candidates? Or were the sausages being poured into marginal electorates as part of a small-goods led campaign?

Instead of sausages, we had a seven-year old playing Christmas Carols on the violin. First of all, I admire greatly any child who’s willing to stand up and perform for a bunch of hungry adults. However, the violinist had clearly prepared for a much shorter queue and had confi ned his repertoire to just three Christmas carols. I en-joyed hearing ‘Jingle Bells’ the fi rst thirty times, but on the thirty fi rst and subsequent occasions, I’ll admit that it began to grate slightly. As he started up for the seventy third time, I was not so much ready to vote as I was ready to tear off my own ears. To make things worse, when I asked him to play what is broadly considered to be the great-est piece of music ever composed for the violin - ‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia’ – he looked at me like I was some kind of idiot. Clearly, students of

the violin are not taught to respect the classics.

I don’t object to lining up. But ev-ery queue deserves a barbeque. Hav-ing been denied my democratic right to chow down, I began to search for answers. Is this primary school so fl ush with cash that it doesn’t need to raise money? It seems unlikely. Per-haps it’s a case of political correctness gone mad whereby local parents have decided that cooking meat might of-fend vegetarians. I think I speak for everyone when I say that people will welcome a vegetarian option. In fact, why not sell coffee too? For that mat-ter, stick a fondue fountain between the monkey bars and the slide for all I care. Politics ought to be a smorgas-bord.

It must be said that politics and sau-sages have a lot in common. It’s best not to know how either is made. As I stand in line waiting for my turn, it be-comes clear to me that fl ute-apalooza will never be enough. I cast my vote and yet feel strangely incomplete. And for reasons that I don’t fully compre-hend, I feel an almost uncontrollable urge to immediately head to Bunnings where, for $2.50, I can buy a sausage wrapped in bread. As I bite down through the soft white bread and a po-tent mix of sausage grease and sauce spills into my mouth, I reminded of the words of Plato: ‘Democracy is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder. Pass the onions.’ Democracy is dead. Long live democ-racy.

NEW DART MACHINE

Next year is set to be a big year for Australian rockers the Hoodoo Gurus, with the band planning on releasing a new album and also coming to Mornington as part of the Red Hot Summer tour on January 11.

The Hoodoo Gurus released their fi rst album in 1984 after the success of their fi rst single Leilani in 1982. They’ve followed this up with eight other studio albums, most recently Purity of Essence in 2010 and a greatest hits album Gold Watch: 20 Golden Greats in 2012.

PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to Hoodoo Gurus frontman Dave Faulkner about the journey and longevity of the Gurus.

PEARL: It’s been 32 years since Hoodoo Gurus released their first single. Did you ever think you’d be enjoying such success and still touring after all this time? FAULKNER: No we really were working from record to record and before you know it years later we’re still doing it. There’s been a lot of luck and a lot of hard work along the way.

PEARL: The Hoodoo Gurus had a break for four years before reforming. What was the turning point for getting back together? FAULKNER: When we played at Homebake in 2001, it was four years after we broke up and that was the gig that led to us reforming. When we played together again after four years apart it was amazing to witness the energy, it was the same spirit and connection and that was a real eye opener for me. PEARL: You’re coming to Mornington to perform in January, what can fans look forward to about your show? FAULKNER: Mostly a pretty high rolling night of rock and roll fun! I’m pretty excited! We’re pretty much known for

or the world at large. All of us, musician or not we think about things we want to tell people about- our opinions, our feelings, things we hope for or fear. Music to me is having a different format to express how I feel say compared to somebody else writing a letter to the editor. PEARL: You began songwriting at an early age. As a child what drew you to music and writing? Where did your ideas come from?FAULKNER: As a kid my fi rst song was about the family dog, I call that my fi rst love song (laughs). Music was just something I really took to; I was really attracted to it. I was a passionate player of piano and later on guitar. I didn’t even know I was writing songs in the beginning, I was just singing words because it made me feel good. PEARL: How did you get into electronic music?FAULKNER: Music is music to me. I like opera, I like reggae, I like everything really and as a musician I can fi nd merit in all musical styles. In a lot of ways it’s really about communicating using this beautiful melody that is beyond the lyric that changes from one genre to another. Electronic music is just pop music with different instruments really. Hopefully the electronica stuff will come out next year. It’ll be pretty quiet it’s just a bit of fun but hopefully people enjoy it. The Gurus are truly known for their fantastic live shows so make sure you get down to Mornington Racecourse on Sunday January 11 to see the magic and chemistry Faulkner describes in person. The Hoodoo Gurus will be joined by James Reyne, Daryl Braithwaite and Boom Crash Opera, with special guest The Angels and Diesel. Tickets to the Red Hot Summer show are available from www.ticketmaster.com.au. JESSICA MILLS

our live shows, we have quite a few well known songs to draw from that we’ll play. PEARL: Are you working on any new projects with the Hoodoo Gurus or by yourself at the moment?FAULKNER: I’ve got a few side projects I’ve been working on- a bit of electronica fun, I’ve dabbled with that all through my career but I’m not known for it. I’m also working on some theatre stuff and last but not least a new Hoodoo Gurus album for next year. I haven’t started serious work on it yet but it’s defi nitely in my sights. I really want to apply myself to get some songs organised, get into rehearsals and demos and start the whole process again. PEARL: How do the Hoodoo Gurus make music together? How does the creative process work? FAULKNER: As a writer you’re always solo, you write the songs that mean something to you and express what you think. Then at the rehearsals with the rest of the band you keep adding to it, giving it character. It’s more about the songs that have come to life and feel natural and real. A song can be a great song but just not work for those particular musicians. You never know until you’ve done it whether it’s going to work or not. Sometimes you get amazed by the results because it becomes twice as exciting as it once was- it’s fi rst rate chemistry when it happens. PEARL: You’ve penned some of the Hoodoo Gurus’ biggest hits such as What’s My Scene that have become Australian rock and roll anthems, what inspires you as a songwriter? FAULKNER: Most songwriters start with the music, a lyric or an idea for a story we want to tell. Then you try to fi gure out how to capture the feeling of that music or topic you want to get off your chest. As far as the theme that you write about you take it from your daily life, observations in society

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyIT was a great day for the bowlers in MPCA Provincial cricket on Saturday.The pick of them though was superstar Scott Phillips, who picked-up 8/58 for Long Island.

The highest batting tally for the day for the team batting fi rst was 157, scored by Moorooduc against Peninsula Old Boys.

However, despite the Ducs hitting the highest score, it was passed by the Old Boys, who came out and blasted 2/163 to grab fi rst innings points.

The lowest score for the day was Crib Point, who managed just 129 against Mt Eliza, despite a half century from Luke Herrington.

Sushant Gupta helped Moorooduc break 100, batting at nine.

Gupta top scored with 43 and rescued his side after the top and middle order failed. John Collison contributed 33.

Jon Forrest turned back the clock for the Old Boys, bowling 18 overs and snaring 4/47, while Tommy Feldgen picked-up 2/22.

Left to bat the last 26 overs of the day, the Old Boys could sniff an outright, scoring a quick fi re 163.

Openers Matt Hyden and Dylan O’Malley were in an aggressive mood, O’Malley smashing 72, including eight fours and a six, while Hyden was a little more conservative, scoring an unbeaten 54.

The Old Boys will resume this Saturday, just two wickets down.

Langwarrin star Adrian Mack was up against his old side Baxter on Saturday and returned the sensational fi gures of 5/55.

The visitors were bowled out for 144, thanks largely to Ben Smith, who top scored with 49. Shane McComb opened with 29, before becoming the fi rst of two wickets for Nathan Volpe.

It was a slow run rate for Baxter, who faced 78.2 overs.

Langwarrin is 0/2 in reply.Craig Entwhistle picked-up 4/42 and

Nick Baron snared 3/12 for Mt Eliza in their demolition of Crib Point.

Lyle House was also on fi re for the visitors with 3/28. In reply, Mt Eliza didn’t start well, losing a quick wicket.

They will resume on 1/9.Heatherhill was bowled out for

136 against Sorrento. Tyler Neal top scored for the Hills with 43.

CJ King was the star with the ball for the Sorras with 5/29, while partner in crime and brother AJ King helped himself to 3/48.

Long Island is just 75 runs short of victory against Rye.

The Demons batted fi rst and were rolled for 137, Andrew Hitchener top scoring with 33.

Scott Phillips was at his brilliant best, ripping through the Demons and fi nishing with the eight wickets. Chris Hocking picked-up the other two wickets.

Mornington has set Pines 160 for victory.

Luke Harper top scored for the Dogs with 42 while all-rounders Michael Heib and Matt Foon scored 29 and 25 respectively.

Nick Wilcox was the pick of the Pines bowlers with 3/29, while Brett Remy claimed 3/50.

The smart money would still be on Mornington.

Chase is on: Boneo will have to bowl extremely well to overhaul Mt Martha in their District Match. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

DISTRICTBy IT Gully MAIN Ridge will need to be prepared to dig in a fi ght for victory on day two of their match against Carrum.In one of only three matches played in District on Saturday, Main Ridge batted fi rst and made 227 on their small home ground.

James Abbott and Scott Millar, who are more noted for their bowling rescued the Ridge with a 99-run 11th wicket partnership.

The pair were joined together with the score 9/128.Abbott made 55 and Millar 40 to help Main Ridge score

more than 200.Liam Dobson, Daniel Polson and new opening bowler

Tyrone Gamage all picked-up two wickets each for the Lions.

Batting the last 29 overs for the day, Carrum cruised to 3/112. Dale O’Neil scored 55 and John Mitchell 24 opening the batting, while Josh Dent is unbeaten on 18. One good thing for the Ridge is the fact that Shaun Foster is back in the sheds, dismissed for a duck.

Baden Powell will need to score 169 to get a win against Seaford.

The Brave rolled the visitors for 168 in the 80th over.Ryan McQueen top scored with 38 for Seaford while Luke

McGennisken made an important 29 batting at 11. Nick Simpendorfer scored 25 batting in the middle order.

Julian Pharaoh was superb for the Braves, bowling 34 overs and fi nishing with fi gures of 7/62, including 12 maidens.

Mt Martha shouldn’t have any issues getting a win against Boneo, who was bowled out for 149.

Jack Beale was the only shining light in what was a bleak day for the Pandas, opening the batting and scoring 55 in his fi rst senior game.

Mt Martha shared the wickets around, although skipper Curtis Stone was the pick of them with four scalps. He also ran out Beale.

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyTHERE were plenty of matches that were abandoned because of the rain in Sub District ranks on Saturday.

These matches will now be on-day games this Saturday, with the long-term weather forecast suggesting that rain will not be an issue.

There were just two games played in Sub District.

Dromana was bowled out for just 65 against Rosebud.

The amazing thing was that it took 48 overs for the Hoppers to score that ordinary total.

Adam Bryant was on fi re for the Buds, picking-up 7/32 off 24 overs, giving him 23 wickets for the season.

Jason Nagel also claimed 3/31 off 24 overs.

Craig Dunlop was the only Hopper to score double fi gures, fi nishing with 13.

In reply, batting out the fi nal 22 overs for the day, Rosebud is 0/8.

Tyabb appears to be in the box seat against Frankston YCW, just six wickets away from victory.

The Yabbies scored 160, Justin Hanna top scoring with 63 and Ben Van Wees next best with 31.

The pair put on almost 100 for the seventh wicket after the Stonecats had them 6/58 at one stage.

Paul Bradley was at his best for the Stonecats with 6/64 from 33 overs, while Adam Muirhead claimed 3/53.

FRANKSTON High School’s Year 8 boys’ cricket team won the State championship last Wednesday defeating Catholic College Bendigo at Silcock Reserve, Croydon. The Twenty20 for-mat competition conducted by School Sport Victoria saw the undefeated top four teams in the State compete in morning semi-fi nals with the winning teams playing the afternoon fi nal.

Frankston’s opponent in the semi-fi nal, Maribyrnong Sports Academy, were bowled out for 70 runs in the 18th over, with Campbell Smith (2 for 2) and Lucas Taylor (2 for 20) our best bowlers and spectacular run outs to Brad Butler, Campbell Smith and Liam Wishart.

The required target was reached in the 14th over with Brad Butler (30 off 19 balls) and James Long (21 off 23 balls) the best contributors with the bat.Frankston’s opponent in the State fi nal, Catholic College Bendigo, had secured a thrilling 1 run victory in their semi-fi nal against Kew High School.

Frankston captains James Long and Liam Wishart sent Bendigo in to bat and

some late innings hitting saw them post a very challenging score of 7 for 108. The best of the bowlers were Campbell Smith (3 for 10), Max Horell (2 for 6), Lucas Taylor (1 for 19) and Tom Baker (1 for 21).

Frankston’s run chase started well but the loss of 3 quick wickets in the space of 2 overs slowed the run rate dramati-cally and after 10 overs their score was 3 for 37, still requiring 72 runs to win off 10 overs. A 52 run partnership be-tween James Long (35 off 44 balls) and Luke Frith (30 off 25 balls) got the team within reach and the winning runs were hit by Ryan Hammel (18 off 21 balls) with just four balls to spare.

The Frankston team ran onto the fi eld to celebrate their second State title after winning the Year 7 competition last year. Frankston’s winning team consisted of Kelby Arnold, Tom Baker, Josh Be-renger, Brad Butler, Jarrod Crisp, Connor Does, Luke Frith, Ryan Hammel, Max Horell, James Long (co-captain), Camp-bell Smith, Lachlan Smith, Lucas Taylor and Liam Wishart (co-captain).
