Splash start HEAVY overnight rain prompted race organisers to shorten the bike legs in a series of Mordialloc triathlons on Sunday. TeamUp ActiveTRI competitors swam 500m, cycled 13.5km and ran 5km in cool conditions in the event which ran from Peter Scullin Reserve along Beach Rd to Charman Rd and returned twice. Mitchell Kibby, 25, won the senior event with times of 7.22 swim, 20.53 bike and 16.51 run for a total time of 44.26. Second was Nathan Buschkuehl, 21, and third Jeremy Drake, 29. The first female across the line was Alexandra Paterson, 18, with a 7.59 swim, 25.07 bike and 18.27 run. The triathlon was one of five in the series. The others are Elwood Park, Elwood on 18 January, Sandringham on 22 February and back to Peter Scullin Reserve in April.

Parkland in demand

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

MENTONE residents have let Kingston councillors know they would prefer Collins St land - earmarked for a new aged care home - to be used for public parkland instead. A council survey found 94 per cent of respondents opposed the sale of the 101-103 Collins St site to an aged care provider, with most favouring the conversion of the council-owned

former depot into open public space. Several residents publicly expressed this view at a special council meeting on Monday evening and councillors must now decide whether to press ahead with the Collins St plan, or look at building a 70-bed facility at the Mordialloc Community Nursing Home’s Remo St site in Mentone. Kingston Council is exiting the aged care sector and will divest itself of management responsibilities for

Mordialloc’s Nixon House, Edithvale’s Northcliffe Lodge and Mentone’s Corben House once a larger aged care home is built in Mentone. Council intends to hand over management of the aged care homes to a not-for-profit or commercial aged care provider. Part of the deal will include a stipulation that the provider build a large aged care home in Mentone before the three existing homes are phased out and aged care home residents are transferred to the new

facility once complete. Some Mentone residents who addressed councillors at Monday’s meeting accepted the need for more urbanisation in the area as Melbourne’s population increases, but they said this should be balanced with parkland access for residents. Many also believed Remo St to be a better option for an aged care home since it is not “at the end of a cul-desac” next to a railway line. Friends of the Mentone Station and

SATURDAY morning’s heavy rain, thunder and lightning did not dampen the enthusiasm of Chelsea Bonbeach Train Station volunteers. Adorning both of the stations with Christmas decorations has become an annual tradition for the group, signalling the close of another successful year. “We have a lot to be proud of this year,” president Wade Ransby said. “By far the most exciting venture this year was starting a petition to get toilets built at, or near, Chelsea station. These amenities are sorely lacking in the Chelsea shopping/station precinct.” Mr Ransby said there was “overwhelming support from the public and local councillors” for the amenities which have been approved and should be installed soon. Hundreds of new plants have beautified a once weedy area on the Nepean Hwy side of Bonbeach station, improving the scenery for commuters, as well as patrons of the Little French Deli and other Bonbeach shops. “As part of a community volunteer program, 12 volunteers from the National Australia Bank spent a day planting hundreds of plants,” Mr Ransby said. “Even with their assistance, our community volunteers worked hard the next day to get the job done.” The group’s hard work is winning community support. “It is very pleasing to see that what we are doing at Chelsea and Bonbeach stations has got people talking and, more importantly, participating,” he said. “Carrum Primary School has adopted Carrum train station under the leadership of one of the teachers, Marcus Mulcahy. “The youngsters have been very enthusiastic and have joined clean-

up and planting working bees at both Chelsea and Bonbeach stations as part of their environmental focus under the Big Green Schools banner. “We’d loved to see this enthusiasm grow with schools and communities all along the Frankston line adopting a station and setting up groups.” Protective services officers are welcome new faces at Bonbeach station. “We encourage everyone to give them a friendly smile and make them feel as welcome as the PSOs at Chelsea who have been around for about a year now,” Mr Ransby said. The stations look better than they did a year ago. Enhancements include new paintwork, raised brightly coloured tactiles on platform edges, new safety zones with improved lighting, updated features, such as poster cases and bins, improved platform lighting (energy saving white lighting), and improved CCTV cameras and camera coverage. Camera monitoring will be increased to 24/7 and now extends the length of the Chelsea car park.

There are new mirrors in the Chelsea station underpass, added shelter on the platforms (in progress), new departure information screens on the platforms and rainbow boards (network status boards) to indicate delays on the various lines. New fencing will be placed along the rail corridor on Nepean Hwy, Chelsea, as well as a new concrete footpath to connect to Argyle Avenue. “This has been a big year and the $6000 community safety grant from the Department of Justice will ensure that 2015 will be even more successful,” Mr Ransby said. He thanked the group’s volunteers, committee, community partners, school helpers, protective services, Kingston Council, local businesses and the Keep Australia Beautiful team.

Labor campaign plan to roll on Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LABOR insiders have credited their â&#x20AC;&#x153;boots on the groundâ&#x20AC;? approach to electioneering for much of the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success at winning back government at the state election after just one term in opposition. The party recruited thousands of volunteers to doorknock and call voters in 25 marginal seats around the state, including the Frankston line seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh where Labor candidates defeated Liberal incumbents. Labor plans to effectively keep its state election campaign show on the road â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the streets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to roll the strategy out to New South Wales and Queensland during those statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; elections next year. After that, Labor intends to take the fight up to the federal Coalition government at the next federal election using the same strategy to try to ensure Prime Minister Tony Abbott suffers the same â&#x20AC;&#x153;one termâ&#x20AC;? political fate as Denis Naphine. Labor assistant state secretary Kosmos Samaras says the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign strategy, which relied on volunteers doorknocking and calling undecided voters in marginal seats, will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a permanent fixtureâ&#x20AC;?. Momentum in politics is crucial and Samaras regards Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Action Network field campaign as instrumental in helping Daniel Andrews become Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier. He reckoned the swing to Labor in the Frankston line marginal seats

showed the strategy works and volunteers who campaigned for Labor will stay motivated and enthusiastic if their support is not just acknowledged during immediate pre-election periods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the trickâ&#x20AC;Ś weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never disband it,â&#x20AC;? Mr Samaras said. The party official said Labor had used â&#x20AC;&#x153;traditionalâ&#x20AC;? means such as TV, radio and print advertising to get its pre-election message out to voters but had also decided to try to get to those voters who tend not to â&#x20AC;&#x153;absorb political messagesâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Samaras was unconcerned when both the Herald Sun and The Age newspapers editorialised against Labor on the eve of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s polling day and backed the re-election of the Napthine government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People do read articles but do they read editorials buried within the paper? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so.â&#x20AC;?

Ensuring everyone within Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranks embraced the volunteer-led state election campaign strategy was vital to its success, according to Samaras. He said the Labor aspect of the electioneering plan was separate, but complemented, the similar union campaign. Trades Hall Council secretary Luke Hilakari told The News he believed the Liberal Party had made â&#x20AC;&#x153;a strategic misstepâ&#x20AC;? in campaigning â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty hard against the union movementâ&#x20AC;? as part of their pre-election campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Union members are just regular folkâ&#x20AC;Ś and we went out and had real conversations about real experiences with people,â&#x20AC;? he said. The union head the Napthine government had forced Trades Hall to get involved in the election campaign. He said the disputes with paramedics, nurses and teachers could have been

settled well before last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was easier to negotiate with the Kennett government,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hilakari said. The Trades Hall was union funded and not officially part of the Labor campaign. Union members encouraged votes to â&#x20AC;&#x153;put the Liberals lastâ&#x20AC;? rather than ask them to vote for Labor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were comfortable about people making up their own mind on how to vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rapt with the outcome.â&#x20AC;? The Trades Hall campaigners knocked on 93,000 doors, made 120,000 phone calls and visited 130 booths in marginal seats including the four marginal Frankston line electorates. As election victors, Labor has been willing to talk about its campaign strategy success. The Liberal Party are more reticent about their campaign. Premier Denis Napthine thanked Liberal Party state director Damien Mantach in his election night concession speech for overseeing the Coalition governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election campaign but the Liberals did seem to be outmanoeuvred by Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field campaign in the weeks before the state election. While Labor and Trades Hall were out speaking to voters, the Liberals relied on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cash splashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; announcements and ineffective strategies such as publishing a so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;community newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; called The Southern Express, in reality a thinly-disguised party propaganda brochure, to spruik their public transport promises.

Carrum election count continues VOTE counting is still underway in Carrum more than a week after the state election. Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sonya Kilkenny remained ahead of Liberal incumbent Donna Bauer by 565 votes on Tuesday evening. The Victorian Electoral Commission is conducting a votes recount. Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Edbrooke will formally win the seat of Frankston today (Wednesday) when the VEC declares Mr Edbrooke a narrow victor over Liberal candidate Sean Armistead. Labor won 46 seats at the state election, the Coalition 38, one went to the Greens, another to an independent and the seat of Prahran is still in doubt.

Councillor â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bad luckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means meetings missed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S longest-serving councillor has attended the least number of meetings this year. Cr John Ronke has been regularly absent from council chambers when his fellow councillors have debated and made decisions about municipal matters. Since the start of the year, Kingston Council has held 21 meetings including ordinary, planning and special meetings. Cr Ronke has attended just nine of those meetings. Most council business is discussed and voted on by councillors at monthly ordinary meetings. Cr Ronke was present at four of the 11 ordinary meetings held so far this year.

When contacted by The News, Cr Ronke said he did not â&#x20AC;&#x153;see any reasonâ&#x20AC;? why he should attend all councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; briefings and meetings, but admitted ordinary meetings were important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a fair bit of bad luck this year,â&#x20AC;? Cr Ronke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been well at times.â&#x20AC;? He said he missed the November ordinary meeting due to a nasty accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the latest council meeting because I nearly took off the top of my thumb with a power saw... so I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the best frame of mind to attend that night,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cr Ronkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s councillor colleagues have accepted his apology for nonattendance on each of the 12 occasions he has not turned up this year. The Local Government Act states

a councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position will become vacant only when a councillor is absent from four consecutive meetings ordinary meetings without leave obtained by council. Kingston Council has nine elected councillors representing three wards. Cr Ronkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence from many council meetings this year forced former mayor Cr Paul Peulich to use his mayoral casting vote to break a four-all deadlock on several contentious decisions, including Kingston Green Wedge planning decisions, during an at times fractious 12 months at council. Cr Geoff Gledhill succeeded Cr Peulich as Kingston mayor last month. Cr Ronke, an Aspendale Gardens resident, was elected to council in

1997 and re-elected in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2012. The South Ward councillor represents Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Waterways, Chelsea, Chelsea Heights, Bonbeach, Carrum and Patterson Lakes. Cr Ronke said he believed he could still represent his ward since he knows council procedures and staff so well thanks to his 17 years as a Kingston councillor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I reckon I can still get a fair bit done,â&#x20AC;? he said. Kingston councillors receive about $27,500 in remuneration a year. Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other eight councillors attended, on average, at least 80 per cent of all council meetings throughout the year.

Parkland wanted Continued from Page 1 Ms Booth said “open public space in Mentone has been a bone of contention” for decades. She, like several other speakers on Monday evening, noted Mentone has less than the 2.4 hectares per thousand people of open space as desired in council’s Kingston Open Space Strategy. While most submitters wanted Collins St to be used for parkland, not all agreed. Mordialloc Community Nursing Home secretary Arthur Shearman said the nursing home “supports the council’s decision to sell 101-103 Collins St and to lease the Northcliffe Lodge, Nixon Home and the nursing home to a professional aged care provider which is legally obliged and bound to provide good quality aged care”. “The decision which has been made is the best decision available,” Mr Shearman said. Homestyle Aged Care CEO Brian Hewitt backed the Collins St sale plan, claiming he had “no vested interest” in a new aged care home’s location. However, when questioned by Cr Rosemary West, he admitted the private aged care provider may bid for the council tender. “[Councillors] will experience public pushback in the period of what you’re doing, but our experience is that your constituents will thank you dearly when a private operator comes in and very efficiently operates your aged care facilities and provides a high standard of care at no cost to local taxpayers,” Mr Hewitt said. Crs Tamara Barth, Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, David Eden, Paul Peulich, Steve Staikos and mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill supported a push by Cr West for council officers to report on the possibility of upgrading the MCNH Remo St facility. Cr John Ronke abstained. Councillors will discuss the matter at next Monday’s final council meeting of the year.

Rest easy: Longbeach RSL members formed a guard of honour for Charlie Scales, above right, in Chelsea Heights yesterday. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Fond farewell for a ‘Rat of Tobruk’ Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A PROUD soldier thought to be one if the last remaining ‘Rats of Tobruk’ was farewelled by his wife, friends and RSL colleagues at Gateway/Grant funerals in Chelsea Heights yesterday. Richard Charles Scales died on 3 December aged 92. He was an enthusiastic member of the Chelsea Longbeach RSL but not an advocate of war itself: “I just want to promote the memory of the 2/24th Battalion and the Rats of Tobruk,” he said when interviewed by The News two years ago (‘Remembering Charlie’s war’, The News 14/11/12). Mr Scales, who is survived by his wife, Loris, was a member of 2/24th Battalion which was involved in two of the most decisive battles of the war - at Tobruk, in modern day Libya, where they became known as the ‘Rats of Tobruk’, and at El Alamein, on the shores of the Mediterranean in Egypt. The battles are acknowledged to have halted German General Rommel’s advance into Africa and

After the war he could not settle down - until he met love-of-his-life Loris at a New Year’s Eve ball. “I don’t know where I would be without her,” he had said at our interview. Longbeach RSL welfare officer John Morris described Mr Scales as “one in a million”. “He never gave much away though,” he said, much like a lot of old soldiers. “I knew him for 10 years and, even though he never spoke much, I thought him an exceptional bloke.” Rats of Tobruk Association members convey their deepest sympathies to relatives who have suffered the sad bereavement of a loved one.

brought strategic and morale-boosting success just when the Allies were experiencing heavy losses and setbacks elsewhere. “The holding of Tobruk was one of the major turning points in the war and El Alamein stopped Rommel getting hold of a deep water port in North Africa,” he told us then. At 16 when war broke out in 1939, the trainee storeman ran away to be a soldier – as his dad, Bill, and uncle, Joe, had been in the Great War – but was deemed too young and sent home. Doing his penance and sent back to Corryong he bided his time until another opportunity presented itself. Enlisting again at Wangaratta in 1940 he found himself in the Middle East training for desert warfare. There, the Army’s successes were tempered by terrible losses and Mr Scales lost many of his mates and commanding officers. “Of the 700 who went in to the battle at El Alamein only 59 came out on the truck at the end of it,” he later recalled. Wounded himself he recuperated in a British war hospital in Egypt.

Author puts you in the story HOW’S this for an intriguing scenario? You find an old treasure map while holidaying in a secluded seaside town. Could it be real, or is it someone’s idea of a joke? You set off to follow the map and find out. There is an actual treasure hidden by pirates over a hundred years ago . . . but all sorts of booby traps have been left behind to keep it safe. Will you uncover the treasure of Dead Man’s Cove or will you be destined for doom? Or how about this one: You are an ordinary kid . . . or so you think. Strange things start to happen. You make a rabbit appear from underneath your teacher’s hat. Then you dream about a mystical diamond and a mysterious old woman with long white hair . . . It turns out you have magical powers. Do you try to keep your talents hidden or do you go off to Magic School? Read on if you dare! Mistakes will cost you dearly! These are some of the exciting themes – for primary schoolers – in the You Choose series of books by George Ivanoff being feted at Mentone Public Library’s ‘Author for All Seasons’ grand finale at 11am Saturday. “Designed to stimulate the imaginations of those aged 8-14, the interactive novels offer numerous intertwining story paths and a plethora of different endings - many resulting in certain death,” the author said. “They combine with a variety of genres and an odd assortment of

Police patrol Jeweller robbed THIEVES used a hammer to smash a hole in an Aspendale Gardens jewellery shop window overnight on 2 December and make off with $4000 in stock. A neighbour heard loud banging and saw two men at the front window of the shop in Narelle Drive. He called 000. Police arrived within five minutes and saw a man jump in the passenger side of a car which sped off along Kearney Drive into Nurten Pde and onto Wells Rd. It was last seen crossing Mordialloc Creek. Police returned to the scene and found three windows had been smashed. Jewellery including pendants, rings and watches had been stolen from shelving. Crime scene detectives are investigating.

weird characters on a roller-coaster ride of a reading adventure.” Young – often reluctant - readers gain a sense of ownership and involvement by reading the stories, he said. “After all, they’re in the book. And there are lots of opportunities for gruesome endings.” Covers and internal illustrations are by James Hart, and, although the books are aimed at mid to upper primary level, they can be enjoyed by all ages. The young-adult-and-science-fiction author will be supported at the library by emerging literary talents Joe Bosa, of Mentone Grammar, and Jessi Hooper, of Mentone Girls’ Secondary College. Afterwards, the library will hold an author appreciation event as a

tribute to its literary line-up over the year. Bring along your Christmas treats and merriment to share in the fun. Ivanoff and the other authors will hold book signings and sales to help fill your Christmas stocking. RSVP by Thursday for the event at Mentone Public Library, rear of the CAB building, opposite Australia Post, 36 Florence St, Mentone. See mentonepubliclibrary.blogspot. com for details. There is gold coin entry to all Mentone Public Library events. Bookings are essential as places are limited. Call Carol on 9587 5878 or email: mentonepubliclibrary@ gmail.com Stephen Taylor

A MAN used a large rock from a garden bed to smash the glass door of a restaurant/fast food outlet in Wells Rd Chelsea Heights overnight on 5 December. Climbing through the hole he stole a petty cash tin containing a quantity of notes. Police are using CCTV footage to identify the offender. He has a beard, and was wearing shorts, black casual shoes and a hoody top.

Bike thefts concern STOLEN bikes are of concern to Kingston police. Overnight on 5 December a Patterson Lakes man had three bikes stolen from the backyard of his house at Riverside West. They are valued at $1150. Police say the thieves may have seen the bikes from a walking track running behind the property. They were probably passed over the back fence.

Cage forced A NEW Giant bike, a Makita circular saw

and a leaf blower were stolen from a locked storage cage at a townhouse in Edithvale Rd Edithvale between 3 and 8 December. Police believe the thief gained entry to the property through a security door when another resident was leaving. He levered open a slide lock to gain entry to the cage which was lined with timber to keep the contents private.

Tools stolen A TRADIE of Glenola Rd Chelsea was robbed of valuable tools overnight on 7 December. Thieves stole three cordless drills, circular saw, torch and angle grinder from the rear of his ute.

Police care watching KINGSTON police are promoting Operation Break Up from 8-22 December. They will be targeting distraction offences, such as mobile phones, as well as those not wearing seat belts and impaired drivers - with a special focus on Christmas break-up parties. “It is of concern to us that many people still take risks on our roads that are just not necessary,” Sergeant Kate Marten said. “We would like to see people slow down, take their time, not take unnecessary risks and leave their phones alone. “Christmas is a time to relax, celebrate and spend time with family and friends. Moorabbin Highway Patrol wants everyone home and uninjured to share in this time.”

Traffic stop Did you know? WHEN turning from one road into another a driver needs to give way to pedestrians crossing the road they enter, under road rule 72, or face a $258 fine and three demerit points; or more than $700 in court.

NEWS DESK Oh, what a bad feeling …

CFA declares fire danger period

THIEVES gained entry to a Toyota showroom and warehouse being built at Mentone on 29 November and stole items belonging to a concreter, the dealer and a construction company. The haul is valued at $83,300. The thieves removed wood panelling from a rear roller door to gain entry before using a forklift to load valuable machinery and tools onto a truck – and then stole the forklift. Stolen was a lockable tool safe containing diamond concrete cutting tools valued at $40,000, as well as two wheel balance machines, two tyre change machines and a workshop air compressor - each valued at $5000. Two instant hot water services valued at $900 each were also nabbed as was a Stihl demolition saw valued at $1500. The forklift, which was being rented, is valued at $15,000. The robbery could have been worse. Kingston police said the thieves attempted to steal a large hydraulic vehicle lift but could not get it through the door.

THE Fire Danger Period started on Monday across Victoria’s southeast including the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions, and French Island in Western Port. The Country Fire Authority’s Trevor 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 already very dry across the southeast and early indicators were pointing to “a long and challenging fire season ahead”. The declaration in the southeast follows the Bureau of Meteorology’s climate 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 influences include El Nino-like conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean.” Meanwhile, weather authorities have stated that the first 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-

Fire scene: A fire alongside McCrae’s Bayview Rd in 2009 illustrates the dangers during a long, hot summer. Picture: Yanni

ing their properties through clearing, mowing or slashing.” During the Fire Danger Period, all fires in the open air are banned without a written permit, along with most activities with the potential to generate sparks. Permits can be obtained from the CFA or Municipal Fire Prevention Officer at Mornington Peninsula Shire or Frankston Council. “The CFA will be taking a zero tolerance approach to any fires resulting from people flouting the laws,” Mr Owen said. “Expect that any fire 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 fires”. “If you have a fire permit, make sure

you read the conditions carefully. Failing to follow just one of those conditions can still leave you open to prosecution,” he said. Mr Kennedy said residents could find 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 restrictions DURING the Fire Danger Period: n A written permit is required to burn grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation. A permit may be issued by the Municipal Fire Prevention Officer or CFA district office. Check with your municipality in the first instance. n Lighting a fire 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 fires

for cooking and warmth do not require a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces. n Use of incinerators, chainsaw, lawn mowers, welding and grinding equipment, and vehicles that come in contact with vegetation and machinery with an internal combustion or heat engine is permitted provided conditions are followed. n Farmers can find legal guidelines and practical advice at cfa.vic.gov.au/ farming – important especially for new farmers, bush block owners or hobby farmers. n A Total Fire Ban declaration means no fires can be lit for the declared district for that day unless there is a specific exemption or special permit issued. This applies irrespective of the fire restriction status for a given municipality. Further details at cfa.vic.gov.au/can

The weather changes and so do the fish By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro IT has been a bit of a strange week for fishing around the Mornington Peninsula. The snapper are still about but very unpredictable. We are still seeing some really nice flathead with fish regularly reaching 45cm plus. However, the squid have returned with a vengeance. Many anglers are once again starting to focus their efforts on the cephalopods. Whiting are continuing to bite in Western Port with good catches coming from Quail Bank. While the fishing has been inconsistent. Best results have been in 5-6 metres. The warm water currents this year have brought blue bottle jellyfish to the back beach, schools of kingfish 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 systems and many snapper anglers would believe that this would make the fish 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 fishing time. But those targeting snapper 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 fishing diary showed similar fishing patterns. Fickle fish, large fish 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 fishing charters told me "In my opinion it's been an unusual season with some amazing land based and shallow water fishing 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 difficult 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 finding 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 fishing 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 definitely bigger and the deeper waters, 18 metres plus, have been where the larger schools of medium size fish have been hiding. Those persisting in the shallows have been rewarded with great fishing after dark. “Best baits have been pilchard, squid and soury while fishing 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.

Boat catch: Brenda Foley caught this lovely snapper onboard Unreel fishing charters.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville Hall holds Xmas gift sale Compiled by Melissa Hodge WE 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 first on Saturday, 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 financial 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 competitions 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 fight 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 fined £2, with £2 2s costs. For having failed to pay the prescribed fees according to laws the same defendant was fined £2. *** MESSRS Robert Gunn and Co. have arranged with the Defence Department to have an inspection of horses suitable for riding and gunners at the Mornington trucking yards on Thursday 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 renewing our acquaintance with the Maurice Gerald Company, who, it will be remembered some years back, playing 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 first class professional company and should be greeted with a good house *** FRANKSTON proved to be winners on Saturday last, in a tennis match against Tala club, Hawthorn, by one game. It was a closely contested 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 person 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 cemetery on Monday afternoon, the Rev. H. Richardson conducting the funeral service. An excellent programme was provided by the Westernport entertainers, 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 included some first 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 voyage 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 Association,) Rev F. E. Watts and J. D. Hodgins spoke very feelingly to the volunteers, all of whom briefly re-

sponded. The following programme was then gone through: Selection by brass band followed with National Anthem, overture orchestra, song, Miss A Robinson; song, Miss K. Jones; song, Mr J. Carmicheal (encored); song, Miss J. Reid ; recitation, Miss Nathan; 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 fine 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 evening last, when a good attendance was present. The entertainment being in aid of the Roman Catholic Church. *** CONSIDERABLE interest was excited in the usually quiet township of Moorooduc on Wednesday evening 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 sliding 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.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Why democracy should be served with onions By Stuart McCullough DEMOCRACY 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 election. 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 something far more fundamental and important. 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 fined. 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 specific understanding. If we are to give up our Saturday morning to run the gauntlet through the school gates past a bunch of leaflet 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

PAGE 34

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

when someone strolls up and pointedly 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 unmistakable aroma of barbeque. Instantly, I regretted my decision not to take all the information I could from the gargoyles at the gate. Had any of the candidates been running on a ‘compulsory 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 sevenyear 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 confined his repertoire to just three Christmas carols. I enjoyed hearing ‘Jingle Bells’ the first thirty times, but on the thirty first 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 greatest 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 every queue deserves a barbeque. Having been denied my democratic right to chow down, I began to search for answers. Is this primary school so flush with cash that it doesn’t need to raise money? It seems unlikely. Perhaps it’s a case of political correctness gone mad whereby local parents have decided that cooking meat might offend 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 matter, stick a fondue fountain between the monkey bars and the slide for all I care. Politics ought to be a smorgasbord. It must be said that politics and sausages 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 becomes clear to me that flute-apalooza will never be enough. I cast my vote and yet feel strangely incomplete. And for reasons that I don’t fully comprehend, 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 potent 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 democracy. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bowlers rule the day PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully IT 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 first 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 first 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 fire 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 figures 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 first 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 fire for the visitors with 3/28. In reply, Mt Eliza didn’t start well, losing a quick wicket.

Main Ridge ready for fight DISTRICT

By IT Gully MAIN Ridge will need to be prepared to dig in a fight for victory on day two of their match against Carrum. In one of only three matches played in District on Saturday, Main Ridge batted first 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 finishing with figures 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 first 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.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 10 December 2014

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 first and were rolled for 137, Andrew Hitchener top scoring with 33. Scott Phillips was at his brilliant best, ripping through the Demons and finishing 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

Rain hits Subbies for six in round six SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THERE 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 longterm 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 fire 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 figures, finishing with 13. In reply, batting out the final 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.

Out! Boneo was bowled out for 149 in the District match against Mt Martha. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Frankston cricket champs go back to back 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 format competition conducted by School Sport Victoria saw the undefeated top four teams in the State compete in morning semi-finals with the winning teams playing the afternoon final. Frankston’s opponent in the semi-final, 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 final, Catholic College Bendigo, had secured a thrilling 1 run victory in their semi-final 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 field 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 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).

Back row from left: Tom Baker, Lucas Taylor, Luke Frith, Simon Hast (Coach), Brad Butler, Jarrod Crisp, Josh Berenger, Max Horell. Front row from left: Ryan Hammel, Lachlan Smith, Kelby Arnold, James Long, Liam Wishart, Campbell Smith, Connor Does.
