TREES in Main St, Mornington, have been covered in colourful woollen knits, but the idea is all about cel-ebrating Christmas and not protecting the trees from any chilly weather.

The yarn bombing organised by Mornington Chamber of Commerce (guerrilla knitting to those working in craft circles) is recognised international-ly as one of the fastest growing trends.

“It is all about using the street for making art in a fun and environmen-tally friendly way; and the commu-nity taking pride in their surroundings by making it look nice and colourful,” chamber marketing and promotions manager Kim Rose said.More than 150 meters of striped

knitted material was used to “bomb” 40 trees along the street, with help from Otto and Spike, a Brunswick knitting manufacturer. “Each tree was carefully selected

to ensure there was no new growth that would be affected by the new woollen cosies and only the strongest and healthiest tree trunks were used to ensure no damage was done,” Ms Rowe said. “The Main St trees have already

caught a lot of attention with passers-by commenting on how wonderful it looks and people posting photos of their children alongside the trees all over social media.”Ms Rowe said the chamber

“couldn’t be more delighted with the feedback” And was considering hav-ing the bombing “make a reappear-ance as the Jazz Festival comes to town in June”.The current project is on Facebook.

By Kim Rowe, Marketing and Promotions Manager of Mornington Chamber of CommerceI’D have to say the lead-up to Christmas in Mornington is one of my favourite times of year. The weather is getting warmer, the streets are adorned with brightly coloured decorations and there is a wave of excitement in the air as Main Street prepares to delight the thousands of holidaymakers heading our way for the summer season.

Over recent weeks the town has come alive with the anticipation of the festive season and it’s only going to get better from here.

Main Street has been “yarn bombed” and Christmas decorations are up, bringing a special sparkle to the streets. True to form, Main Street traders are outdoing themselves, ensuring their stores are decorated with the most unique and wonderful fashion, gifts and homewares of the season.

This Christmas, if you’re searching for a special gift that you just can’t fi nd anywhere else, Main Street

Mornington is your answer. On Saturday 13 December

there will be no silent nights in our town. It will be jingle bells all the way, with festivities for the whole family. There are children’s activities and entertainment taking place along Main Street all day, including letter-writing to Santa and a Christmas-inspired colouring competition that gives each entrant the chance to win a bicycle of their choice thanks to Target at Mornington Central.

To top off your day, take a stroll down Main Street to Mornington Park where Carols in the Park start at 5.30pm with carolling from 6pm.

Sarah Smiles, a fantastic local children’s performer, will be with her Christmas Koala and no Christmas celebration is complete

without a visit from the big man himself, Santa Claus.

Mornington Carols in the Park is a fun, free event the whole family can enjoy. Families can rest assured the kids will be well entertained as they explore the nativity scene and animal farm, become a Christmas star with face painting or watch the wonders of balloon artists.

Bring a blanket and picnic, pull up a patch of grass and enjoy a great evening under the stars with the Mornington community.

This Christmas there’s no better place to be than Main Street Mornington.

For more information on these events, contact Mornington Chamber of Commerce or visit us on Facebook/MainStreetMornington. Live local – love local – shop local.

ONE of the great Christmas traditions shared all over the world is the lighting up of homes and businesses each December. For those looking for locations throughout the Mornington Penin-sula, a new website has been developed to help the community fi nd addresses within their local neighbourhoods.

Originally established as a simple Facebook page by a local mum in 2012, the page quickly grew. “It is always a diffi cult task keeping young children awake after 9pm when they are driving around in the darkness,” founder Anna tells. “I therefore wanted to know where there were locations close to my home so we weren’t driving around losing time trying to fi nd someone with lights.” So she put the call out on Facebook and quickly discovered she wasn’t alone in her search!

With the site now hosting over 300 loca-tions, and growing daily, the Facebook page has this year been converted to a website to make it easier for the public to either read listed addresses by suburb or fi nd locations close by

using the map. The website also includes photos and videos of favourite displays as nominated by the community, as well a list of links to other sites.

You can join the fun at www.christmaslight-houses.com.au. To receive updates follow them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Christmas-LightsMornPenSEMelb or subscribe for free via the website.

THE shire council and state envi ron ment department are under renewed pressure to fi x erosion below homes on one of Mor nington’s most exclusive streets.

The problem is back on the agenda following another collapse of the Caraar Creek walking track between Caraar Creek Lane and Mills Beach, which

runs below properties on Kalimna Drive, the town’s “millionaires’ row” on on Beleura Hill.

A section of the track collapsed four years ago. It was closed for many weeks while engineers assessed the damage and how to fi x it. Inadequate and illegal stormwater drains were blamed (“Drain blame for landslide”, The News, October 2010).

fi lled to overfl owing last week with Beleura Hill residents, locals who walk the picturesque track (which is listed as a tourist attraction), shire offi cers, the three Briars Ward councillors, and Mornington MP Da vid Morris.

The meeting was called by the shire to discuss the collapsing and dangerous cliff path.

Mornington Environment Associa-tion president Jan Oliver, also a mem-

ber of Mornington Foreshore Advisory Group, said councillors Bev Colomb, Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon “managed to control what could have been some unpleasant exchanges”.

“Kalimna Drive residents and other locals who have been walking the cliff path for more than 65 years know perfectly well what is causing the cliff to collapse – stormwater drains,” she said.

TOORAK College’s Jasmine Den-nison, of Mt Eliza, takes a global per-spective when it comes to equestrian events.

The year 9 student represented Australia in the Children’s Challenge in Taiwan last month and, next month, will do the same again at the World Junior Jumping Championships in Mexico.

“I enjoyed the chance to repre-sent Australia at the Taiwan CSIJ-B event,” Jasmine said. “Overall, 13 countries were represented, including Iran and Mongolia.”

It's been a big year for the 14-year-old who was recently crowned the Australian Junior Show Jumping champion.

“The whole experience was amaz-ing, and, while the jumping was challenging on Bluedancer, the horse

I drew in the pool, it was a fantastic event.”

Jasmine and her group enjoyed the company of the Taiwanese guide assigned to look after them and show them the city’s sights outside of the riding program.

“The organisers made sure we had both a wonderful cultural experience and a great riding opportunity,” she said.

“I loved trying all the local foods and doing such activities as exploring the Taipei night markets.

“I am trying to decide whether my favourite food adventure was grilled whole squid on a stick or the spicy red local tofu!”

Hannover Equestrian Centre is in the centre of the capital, Taipei, a far cry from the open, grassy facili-ties that we are lucky to have here,

Jasmine said. The courses were the handiwork of the renowned Olaf Pe-terson, who has designed courses for two Olympics, fi ve World Cup fi nals, a World Equestrian Games and more than 100 Nations’ Cups.

“The FEI stewards were particularly serious about keeping us all in line, however, after the three days, every-one had become good friends and we were making plans to stay in touch.

“The riders were excellent and we all enjoyed trying to get to know our borrowed horses together.

“It was certainly a great feeling to be wearing the Australian uniform and it is something I won’t ever forget.”

Jasmine travelled with chef d’equipe Annie White “who was wonderful and did a great job helping me to get the best out of Bluedancer”.

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

Operation Raid focuses on removing all impaired 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 moment away when you are driving a vehicle. What gives anyone the right to endanger my family or your family?”

Frankston Highway Patrol intercept-ed two motorists 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 Patrol, said the fi rst-offence drivers would lose their licences for 17 and 15 months respectively. “This will impact their employment, their fami-lies 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 impair-ment behaviours, such as drug use and fatigue.

Operation Suer Stay focuses on of-fending drivers 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 mes-sage will get through and keep every-one safe at Christmas.

FUNDING from Medicare Local has helped police and Peninsula Health ex-tend their partnership by establishing a second Pacer unit on the peninsula.

Inspector Karen Nyholm said the Police Ambulance Crisis Emergency Response mobile unit provided sup-port to police dealing with those who are mentally ill.

“Combing the resource and experi-ence of a police member with a mental health clinician improves our ability to respond to a person needing medi-

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

She said the Peninsula Health clini-cians 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 re-sponding to incidents across the Morn-ington Peninsula and Frankston.

A NEAR-miss between a light plane attempting 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 as-sess him”.

“Most pilots don’t do it more than

once.”Mrs Baker was reported as saying

the car in front swerved to miss the air-craft as it approached the airfi eld run-way 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.

Close call: Peninsula Aero Club president Peter Bernardi says a low-fl ying pilot should be counselled.Picture: Yanni

Continuing from Page 1“Stormwater and hoses are pouring

water down the cliff. Pipes lead into pits, which overfl ow. Boulders fall down and complaints are not being dealt with.”

Some residents questioned why the shire had allowed large houses to be built overhanging the cliff, and with inadequate drainage plans.

Ms Oliver said shire engineer John Ault-Connell told the meeting he had spent more than 10 years dealing with drainage and backwashing of pools. “Drains are the responsibility of the owners and, obviously, some are ignoring what is happening.”

“Resident Peter Nicholson stated there appeared to be no shire plan of the drains, no young trees were growing to hold the cliff face, and landslips were increasing.

“We learned that under increasing pressure, the shire has commissioned yet another group of consultants to come up with proposals.

“These included stairs being built on each side of the current large slip with

bridges, which would have to be lifted in by helicopter. This caused mirth.

“A retaining wall could be built up from the shore or walls built with anchors. Soil testing is now underway to check if parts of the weathered granite can be anchored, but these are short-term fi xes.”

Ms Oliver said David Morris and shire offi cers Allan Cowley and Neil Daykin (the shire’s new full-time coastal planner) all agreed the underlying stormwater problem had to be fi xed.

The shire has legal options – the power to intervene – but appears to have shied away from action, she said.

“Leigh Hale, the original consultant who prepared detailed plans in 2003, said the shire could recover costs through a special charge scheme, and that owners have to check their property’s drainage.”

Ms Oliver said a majority of resi-dents demanded fast action but Cr Shaw said suggestions would take time to investigate and implement. The councillors would report to residents

what had been decided in early 2015.Cr Colomb, the new mayor, asked

people to join a group to work with the shire.

In 2010, Mr Ault-Connell told The News that allowing stormwater to be discharged onto the beach “goes back to the Shire of Mornington days”.

The shire has already outlined what needs to occur in its Mornington Coas-tal Management Plan, published in September 2012.

The plan stated there was a “large number of inappropriately designed stormwater outfalls, particularly from private properties along the clifftops. This has led to increased erosion of the already unstable cliffs, particularly at the north end of Mills Beach along Kalimna Drive”.

Private properties would be en cou-raged “to retain water on-site or divert to appropriate drainage infrastructure”.

The plan stated the actions had a “medium priority” and should be undertaken within two or three years.

The shire has been contacted for comment.

A CAR show at the Village Green Reserve, Rosebud, on Sunday 30 No-vember raised $7000 for the Southern Peninsula Ladies’ fi ght against cancer.

Participant Sharyn Simmonds said the amount “exceeded our expecta-tions” and thanked the Mornington Peninsula community and businesses for their support. The money will as-sist 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 Febru-ary to 1 March.

Imelda Noonan, Claire Reynolds,

Ngaire Sandry, Narelle Mulcahy, Darlene Petersen, Caroline Kellett, Joanne Marchant, Jane Cockbill and John Westwood hope to raise $20,000.

“All [of us] 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,” Ms Simmonds said.

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.

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 itinerary, too, and his visit culminates in a spectacular fi reworks display.

Centre manager Kerryn Ladell said the event was a real community effort. “It is run by volunteers, the community centre organises it, Mornington Peninsula Shire supports 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.

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

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.

Join the celebrationJoin the celebrationCOMMUNITY minded residents take note: it’s your time to shine. That’s because the shire is seeking assistance from volunteers wanting to take part in the peninsula’s biggest events – including next years’ Aus-tralia Day celebrations.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb said local Australia Day activities were some of the largest and most signifi cant events across the peninsula.

They are presented by the shire in partnership with the community.

“Spread across seven townships, the shire’s Australia Day program provides free activities and enter-tainment, including the Mornington Street Parade, the Rosebud Fun Run, free community breakfasts, fi reworks, live music community displays and fl ag raisings for the community to enjoy and celebrate together,” she said.

“Volunteering is a great way to support the community, and we’d love to have you join our team to de-liver one of the most exciting event programs on the peninsula.”

Volunteer roles can include conducting surveys, assisting with parking, marshalling the street parade, customer service, event setup and pack-up, assisting musicians and performers, and ‘all-rounder’ help on the day.

Volunteers will be issued with re-served parking and free refreshments throughout their time at any event.

Those interesting in volunteering at the Australia Day celebrations should contact the shire’s community and special events staff on 5971 9312 or email [email protected]

TWO Mt Martha builders have snared prestigious awards at this year's Master Building Association of Victoria Awards.

Mode Projects won Best Custom Home $600,000-$800,000 for a house at Mt Martha, while Everclear Constructions was awarded a special commendation in the Best Custom Home $800,000-$1 million category for a project at Blairgowrie.

Husband and wife team Bruce and Karen Charlton established Mode Projects as boutique building company in 2006, spe-cialising in small-scale urban development on the Mornington Peninsula.

Mr Charlton said the award-winning home, nestled among tea trees on the Mt Martha coast, was one of their more ''edgier designs''.

Built in an exclusive cul-de-sac, the 35-square cedar and pressed metal clad home was designed to complement the coastal landscape on which it sits, he said.

Judges noted that the two-storey, four-bedroom home maxim-ised the available bay views.

Mr Charlton said he and his wife's ''true passion'' lay in build-ing unique one-off homes that harmonised with the ''stunning coastal landscape'' of the peninsula.

Fellow boutique builder Everclear Constructions has been based on the peninsula since 1998 and is now one of Victoria's most awarded companies, having previously won two MBAV Builder of the Year awards and a string of other industry awards.

Its latest award-winning project, in Pearce Rd, Blairgowrie, was designed by Wolveridge Architects for a family who wanted a place ''removed from the reminders of city life'' and with plenty of outdoor space for children to play.

MABV judges said the ''robust and solid design'' of the home incorporated extensive use of recycled timber and a ''high level of detail''.

Everclear Constructions director Mark Cleary described the home as ''a modern take on the classic beach weekender''.

Close to the bay, the home features rammed earth, natural timber and ''lots of glass that allows the great outdoors in''.

''This is a house that everyone loves and no one wants to leave,'' Mr Cleary said.

He attributed the company's success to building ''long stand-ing relationships with our exceptional tradespeople, being very passionate about the building process, having an eye for quality, attention to detail, clear honest communications, and listening carefully to our clients wants and needs''.

STUDENTS at Mornington Secondary College are set for a safer summer thanks to Cancer Council’s Shade for Secondary Schools grant program.

The school was one of 45 across Aus-tralia to receive up to $25,000 for a shade grant funded by a $1 million donation from the eftpos Giveback program.

Principal Sarah Burns said the grant had enabled the school to create a safer outdoor environment that considered the risks of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

“Mornington Secondary College is committed to providing a shade-friendly outdoor environment, as we know that stu-dents require little encouragement to seek shade when it’s provided,” she said.

“This new shade structure will add to our existing natural shade, helping to protect our school community now, and in the years to come.”

SunSmart youth and advocacy co-ordinator Jane Hill said the new shade structure would give the students another

sun protection tool. “Melanoma is the most common cancer in those aged 12-24 years, with more than double the number of cases of any other kind of cancer,” she said.

“Without access to proper shade during school hours - when UV levels peak - young people are at risk of developing skin cancer in the future.

“Thanks to the eftpos shade grant, the col-lege’s new shade facility will complement the work the school already dose in estab-lishing healthy UV policies and practices.”

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.

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 teachings”.

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”.

“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”.

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.

Communications manager Todd Trim-ble said while the shire was “sympathet-ic” 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 doing 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 per-mits, rates, rents and licences.

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 lit-tle 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 investigate our rights and all the regulations.”

The News was unable to contact Aus-tralian Mobile Food Vendors Group director Frank Rusitovski by deadline. He is the organiser of the mobile 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 mo-bile vendors 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 affect the major-ity of the mobile van operations.

Senior Constable Daniel Patton, of Rosebud police, 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,”

Nepean Ward’s Cr Tim Rodgers blamed the vans’ ability to “set up shop at a moment’s notice” on the state gov-ernment’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”.

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

AFTER a chance start in local footy umpiring, when one of his sons took an interest in running the boundary, long-time Mornington resident Dave Golby can say that things have turned out well.

While usually it is the son who follows his dad into an endeavour: this time it was the other way around – and local umpiring stocks are the benefi ciary.

Last week, the 51 year old supply chain co-ordinator at Blue Scope Steel was named the Australian Football Coaches ‘Association Coach of the Year’ at an awards function at the MCG.

Golby has been the Southern Um-pires Association boundary umpires’ coach for the past seven years, man-aging nearly 1800 appointments each year. The association is one of the largest umpiring groups in Australia, and has been involved in local foot-ball since 1959.

“I took young Michael along to um-piring practice about 12 years ago and joined in the training and then started boundary umpiring the next year,” he said. “Part of the fun was running with my son - even though I was giv-ing him my $20 pocket money.”

After four years on the bound-ary, Golby was asked to coach the young umpires, in 2008, and oversee their training, skills drills, act as a mentor and assess their performance on match days. “Throwing the ball

in takes timing, and often you’d see someone looking uncoordinated but then they’d get the hang of it.”

He appoints more than 100 bound-ary umpires on match days in three competitions: Nepean, Casey/Cardinia and Peninsula leagues for their 50 games. They receive $50-$80 each depending on whether they offi ciate at senior, reserve or Under 18 games.

“Our young list even has a few girl umpires – some who also play girls’ footy - and they are very good,” he said. “A couple even umpire the senior games.”

Golby is also head coach of the VLine Umpiring Academy and has developed strong relationships with other coaches who share knowledge, experience and ideas to assist each other in a range of coaching situa-tions. “In inter-league we nominate young umpires to join different leagues and country competitions, which is a pathway to the VFL,” he said.

“We’ve had eight of our guys try their luck in the VFL – two this year - but none, so far, in the AFL.”

He is pleased that he has been “asked back” next season, although it must have been a formality consider-ing his award. “It was great to be nominated and I am pleased we have such a great coaching panel,” he said.

The umpires train at Kananook Oval, McCulloch Ave, Seaford. Feb-ruary’s start can’t come soon enough for this seasoned veteran.

Whistle blows – and Dave’s the umpires’ choiceWhistle blows – and Dave’s the umpires’ choiceKeith [email protected]

Umpires’ decision: Dave Golby receives his award and prizes after his ‘Coach of the Year’ win.

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 coming 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 patrol-ling 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 systems 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 snapper that we catch.

“I am fi nding that I'm using almost twice the fuel and only getting about 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. Hav-ing 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 different 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 options. So pick your time and go wet a line.

Tight lines and calm seas.

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

scoreboardMORNINGTON NEWS

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.

In reply, the Stonecats are in some real trouble at 4/30.

FRANKSTON High School’s Year 8 boys’ cricket team won the State championship last Wednesday de-feating Catholic College Bendigo at Silcock Reserve, Croydon. The Twenty20 format 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 Col-lege 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 dramatically and after 10 overs their score was 3 for 37, still requiring 72 runs to win off 10 overs.

A 52 run partnership between 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 compe-tition last year.

Frankston’s winning team consisted of Kelby Arnold, Tom Baker, Josh Berenger, Brad Butler, Jarrod Crisp, Connor Does, Luke Frith, Ryan Hammel, Max Horell, James Long (co-captain), Campbell Smith, Lachlan Smith, Lucas Taylor and Liam Wishart (co-captain).

MITSUBISHI’S Mirage hatch ES has been named the ‘Best Micro Car’ in the 2014 Aus-tralia’s Best Car awards.

The awards represent the best of the best for value for money, design and function and on-road performance of new vehicles. To win, vehicles must have the best overall score in each criteria as evaluated by the expert judges.

Over 220 cars were evaluated in this year’s awards with the Mirage hatch fi nishing streets ahead of its competition in the new ‘Micro Car’ category.

Australia’s Best Cars judging panel agreed that the Mirage hatch was a stand out in this category.

“The micro vehicle class, introduced to Australia’s Best Cars for the fi rst time this year refl ects the unerring demand for budget priced entry level cars.

“The Mirage is the only fi nalist that comes with a fi ve star ANCAP safety rating with elec-tronic stability control and six airbags including head protection as standard.”

Mitsubishi Motors Australia CEO Mutsuhiro Oshikiri said the Mirage offers an unbeatable mix of style, value and safety.

“Mirage has been a great success story for Mitsubishi – its combination of great features, good looks, fuel effi ciency, strong safety creden-tials and low running costs.

“We are very proud to receive this award in recognition of the overall package the Mirage presents to value-conscious buyers.”

Australia’s Best Cars is an independent and comprehensive new vehicle testing and awards program, incorporating the expertise of the Australian Motoring Clubs.

Pier jumper’s Pier jumper’s timely summer timely summer safety warningsafety warning

Don’t jump: Nazim Erdem’s life was changed forever when he sustained permanent spinal cord damage after jumping off a Port Phillip pier

AT age 20, Nazim Erdem dived off a Port Phillip pier to impress some girls but sustained a perma-nent spinal cord injury that left him quadriplegic.

“It was just a bit of fun with my mates, but it’s changed my life forever. You’re aware there are risks in life but I never thought jumping off a pier would result in an injury like this,” he said.

Mr Erdem is asking Victorians to think before they jump or dive off piers and jetties this sum-mer to minimise the risk of spinal cord injury.

“After I’d jumped off the pier and hit the bot-tom, I realised I couldn’t move any part of my body, which meant I couldn’t resurface. Luckily I’d been taught to hold my breath under water for up to three minutes. My mates thought I was mucking around so I was under water for nearly two and a half minutes before they realised something was wrong.”

Before the injury, Mr Erdem played Austra-lian Rules and was an amateur boxer. After the incident, he took up wheelchair rugby and was a member of the Australian team that won silver medals at the 2000 Sydney and 2008 Beijing Paralympics, and gold at the 2012 London Para-lympics.

He is the fi rst person with a spinal cord injury to paraglide solo as well as compete in the Targa Tasmania car rally.

Graeme Davis of Parks Victoria, which man-ages Victoria’s piers and jetties, said each year there were 350-400 spinal cord injuries with 9 per cent caused by water-related accidents.

“Males aged 15-35 years are at highest risk of getting a spinal cord injury, and most are pre-ventable,” he said.

Parks Victoria and Independence Australia are reminding Victorians to think before they jump or dive off piers and jetties this summer.

“Despite regular patrols of piers and upgraded signs in Port Phillip and Western Port, people are not listening to warnings, and serious injuries are still regularly occurring,” Mr Davis said.

“Diving from piers and jetties is an extremely dangerous practice.”

“Water depths change daily as a result of tides, sand movement and submerged debris such as shopping trolleys are unexpected.”

Independence Australia CEO Peter Turner said that young men in particular are ignoring the warnings and not thinking before they jump or dive in waterways.

The two bodies are encouraging people to fi nd a safe point from which to enter the water to swim and enjoy the beach this summer.

BEFORE the holidays and a road trip to a favourite beach or inland destination, a pre-summer check of the car should be a priority.

The RACV’s website states the most common problem affecting motorists during summer is an overheated engine, but a few simple checks can reduce the risk of being stranded.

The pre-summer checklist should include not only the radiator and cooling system, but also the electrical system, brakes and tyres, plus an overall “spring clean”.Cooling systemTop up your radiator coolant to the required level, taking care to add the correct amount of coolant mixture as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Check all radiator hoses (including heater hoses) for fi rmness, replace any that are spongy or leaking, and keep spares of the main hoses and belts in the boot for emergencies.

The fan belt and any other drive belts, such as for air-conditioning or power steering, need to be inspected thoroughly – for fraying and correct tension – so they do not slip. Any belts that are even slightly frayed should be replaced.ElectricalBatteries manufactured nowadays are maintenance-free but check the water level and top them up if necessary. Use distilled water – never use tap water as it will harm the battery.

Routine maintenance should include removing any corrosion from battery

Check the car before summer holidays

terminals, which can then be smeared with petroleum jelly to slow the corrosion process.

An added precaution is to wipe the high-tension leads, sparkplugs and distributor cap with a dry cloth.TyresAll tyres, including the spare, must be properly infl ated to cope with the demands of long trips and hot weather.Check the pressures when the tyres are cold.

Recommended tyre pressures are

printed on a sticker affi xed to most cars. Tread depth should not be less than a match head. Many tyres now have tread wear indicators to remove the guesswork.

Uneven wearing of tyres may indicate a fault with the steering, suspension or wheel alignment, and these items should be checked if in doubt.BrakesConsult a brake specialist if the car has a tendency to pull to one side

when braking, if the brake pedal goes too close to the fl oor or has any other symptoms that seem unusual.

Check the hand brake as well – park the car on a hill, put it in neutral and, if it does not hold fi rm on the handbrake, have it checked and adjusted.Clean lights and windowsCar windows should always be kept clean, as dirty glass can drastically reduce the driver’s vision when heading towards oncoming headlights or a low sun. Dirt increases the effect of glare.

Exterior dirt is easy to wash off, but it can be a constant battle to keep the inside of the glass free from the hazy fi lm that builds up when a car is parked in the sun.

The “haze” can usually be wiped off with a chamois, methylated spirits or most domestic glass or general cleaners, but there is no magic formula to eliminate the problem altogether.

For good visbllity, keep the windscreen washer bottle topped up, and clean all lights and lenses.
