Raw milk warning Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE recent tragic death of a Mornington Peninsula child after drinking raw cow’s milk has prompted Frankston and Mornington Peninsula health officers to visit retailers suspected of selling the product. Frankston CEO Dennis Hovenden said Environmental Health team officers had attended 10 premises last week. They ranged from health food shops to specialist delis and grocers in Frankston, Karingal and Seaford. “None of the premises inspected had any brand of bath milk available for sale,” he said. “One retailer had previously sold this type of product, but confirmed it would not be sold in future due to the inherent health risk.” Mornington Peninsula Shire’s environmental health team leader Mark Upton said his officers would remind retailers of the importance of informing customers that products – such as bath milk - are not for human consumption. The toddler, 3, died in the past month after drinking Mountain View Organic Bath Milk. The case has been forwarded to the State Coroner. Another four children aged one to four, also from the Mornington Peninsula and the southeastern suburbs, reportedly recovered from serious illness after drinking unpasteurised milk. Mountain View Organic Dairy proprietor Vicki Jones told 3AW the milk cartons – labelled bath milk - were clearly marked as cosmetic-use only and ‘not-for-human-consumption’. She said local retailers were expected to inform customers of the dangers of drinking it and to advise them of its use only as a skin-care product. However, the cartons appear similar to regular milk and are often sold in fridges next to drinking milk. Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Dr Rosemary

Lester warns we are all vulnerable to illness caused by the pathogens present in raw milk. “The risks are even greater for young children and for the elderly, those with underlying health problems, immunocompromised or pregnant,” she said. As a result, the sale of unpasteurised milk for human consumption is illegal in Victoria. Ms Lester said there had been five cases of gastroenteritis illness in children who have drunk unpasteurised milk: three cases of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) and two of cryptosporidiosis. All five cases involved people drinking unpasteurised milk which had been sold as ‘bath’ or ‘cosmetic’ milk. “HUS is a rare but serious condition caused by bacteria that affects the kidneys and the bloodstream. Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic infection that commonly presents as gastroenteritis with watery diarrhoea,” she said. “Unpasteurised milk is labelled and sold for cosmetic use only, but the packaging is often very similar to other milk products. “Only a small number of these pathogens are needed to cause illness.” Since the 1940s it has been compulsory to pasteurise cow’s milk. Milk is heated for a short time to destroy disease-causing bacteria. No matter what precautions are taken by dairy farmers during milking, experts say there can be “no guarantee” that the milk will be free of harmful bacteria, making pasteurisation essential. Ms Lester said if the milk was labelled as food she would ban it. Mr Upton said retailers should refer to the Department of Health for more information, or see the Better Health Channel’s factsheet at betterhealth.vic.gov.au

It’s official: Labor wins Frankston, Carrum Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au IT’S taken nearly two weeks since the 29 November state election but Frankston finally has a new member of parliament. The Victorian Electoral Commission officially declared Labor candidate Paul Edbrooke the winner of the seat this morning at 9.30am after votes were recounted. Mr Edbrooke got over the line against Liberal hopeful Sean Armistead by just 332 a votes, on a twoparty preferred basis. Mr Edbrooke had 50.47 per cent of the vote and Mr Armistead 49.53 per cent after preferences were distributed. VEC figures show nearly 9 per cent of the 34,980 votes cast in the Frankston electorate had ballot papers incorrectly completed or not filled in at all. Mr Armistead called firefighter Mr Edbrooke last Tuesday afternoon to concede defeat and wished his election opponent well in his new career as an MP. He also took to Twitter to send a message to his erstwhile political rival. “Congratulations Paul on your success in Frankston and the start of a new career. All the best.” Mr Edbrooke was magnaminous in victory, calling Armistead “a gentleman throughout the campaign”. In a statement, the new Frankston MP said “many people spoke to myself and Labor volunteers and told us in their own words what our com-

munity needed to become a thriving city”. “Labor has made some very large and positive commitments to the Frankston community which I will not waste a day in ensuring that they become a reality,” Mr Edbrooke said. “Thank you for all your ongoing support as we hit the ground running to get some work done before the Christmas period.” Incoming Premier Daniel Andrews has finalised his new cabinet to begin the work of government. Mr Andrews said resolving the ambulance dispute and providing funds for TAFEs were top of his government’s agenda. Outgoing Liberal MP Donna Bauer conceded Carrum to Labor candidate Sonya Kilkenny late this morning after a recount. Mrs Bauer wished Ms Kilkenny well in her role as MP. Mrs Bauer said “I am grateful and feel privileged to have represented the Carrum electorate”. “I have made many new friends, and have loved assisting hundreds of constituents and community groups with state government matters,” she said. “Thank you to all that have assisted throughout my term, especially my wonderful family, my staff and a great team of volunteers. “It’s been a remarkable journey and I now look forward to the next chapter in my life.” Ms Kilkenny won Carrum for Labor from the Liberals with a margin of just over 500 votes.

OK for chairlift

THE controversial Arthurs Seat chairlift will go ahead after the state planning tribunal rejected objections from community group Save Our Seat. The decision was handed down by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal late last week but full details of the decision have not yet been released. The Times understands the only major change made to shire conditions is a slight reduction in operating hours to 10pm. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors approved the $14 million gondola chairlift in June by five votes to four but Save Our Seat challenged the decision in the tribunal, raising more than $30,000 at a concert in Main Ridge in October for legal costs. Save Our Seat’s main objections included that the chairlift was a potential fire hazard, too many trees would have to be cleared, and increased traffic and car parking would cause problems on the summit. The Arthurs Seat SkyLift consortium is led by Simon McKeon, 2011 Australian of the Year, Victorian chairman of Macquarie Bank, chairman of CSIRO and chairman of AMP. Earlier this year he said the ride would carry 159,000 people a year and operate in the day and at night. The project includes 40 gondolas carrying up to eight people each, 13 steel pylons from four metres to 20 metres high, and a 100-seat restaurant as well as information and history centre on the summit. The ride will be built overseas and assembled at Arthurs Seat. Mike Hast

‘No chance’ for marina plan

Fun run: Riders leave Frankston to head to Rosebud with donated gifts in the annual Peninsula Toy Run.

A BOATING marina at the base of Olivers Hill is no nearer to becoming reality despite a petition with more than 2000 signatures being handed over to Frankston Council. The petition signed by 2052 people asked council to commit funding to a “regional boating facility” at Olivers Hill but several councillors said other major projects – such as a waste transfer station - should take priority. Consultants GHD previously presented four concepts for a marina to be built at Olivers Hill, with the estimated cost ranging from $38 million to $51 million. At this month’s council meeting, Cr James Dooley said the marina “does not have a snowflake’s chance in hell of getting up”. He said council “had the begging bowl” out to try to get a much-needed

$12 million waste transfer station built and multi-million dollar projects requiring council funding should include “freeways and hospitals” not a marina. “People do not like seeing false promises,” Cr Dooley said. Cr Darrel Taylor argued council should not ignore “probably the largest petition we’ve ever had”. “[They’ve] taken the time to say to us – quite loudly and clearly – that they want to see something done at the boating facility and the Coast Guard in this city.” Cr Taylor said fishermen and boat owners said Frankston’s boating facilities were “at a stage of being overwhelmed” due to a lack of parking and launching space. Deputy mayor Cr Glenn Aitken noted Frankston Coast Guard “does need

proper accommodation and a proper and reasonable launching space” but any marina project should be “small scale” to solely meet this need. Council CEO Dennis Hovenden admitted council is “not likely to go out and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on this” in the short term. A marina at Olivers Hill is “a lower priority” than other infrastructure projects, according to the CEO. Cr Taylor said the existing Frankston Coast Guard building had, at best, “a decade left in it” and action will be needed by council to provide funding sooner rather than later. Any marina to be built at Olivers Hill would also require federal and state governments’ approval and funding alongside council’s financial contribution. Neil Walker

Early Xmas toy run CHRISTMAS is coming. The surest sign the festive season is up and running on the peninsula came earlier this month when motorcyclists took part in the annual Peninsula Toy Run. Riders gathered at the Frankston pier car park on Saturday 6 December and headed to Rosebud Secondary College to deliver their donated Christmas presents for disadvantaged children on the peninsula. This year’s event included the unveiling of a memorial monument dedicated to toy run founder John

Scientist wants bay scallops on the menu Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au THE state government issued one licence for scallops to be hand-harvested in Port Phillip earlier this year, ending a 17-year ban on commercial harvesting, but one of the men who proved scallop viability continues to lobby for a second licence. On 20 February 2014, government agency the Department of Environment and Primary Industries announced that Port Welshpool-based fisherman Bruce Collis and his company Vicfish Pty Ltd had won an auction for the licence. Mr Collis paid $180,000 for the right to harvest 12 tonnes of scallops a year, with no more than two tonnes coming from any one of six sub-zones in Port Phillip. The decision dismayed Seafordbased fisheries scientist, scallop diver and fisherman Grant Leeworthy, who heads Port Phillip Bay Scallop Dive Fishery Association and has been an abalone diver and aquaculturalist. “Colleagues and I did two stock assessments in 2009-10 and 2012 at a cost of about $500,000 so it was a blow when the government announced it would issue just one licence and for such a small amount,” he said. “We were never going to be able to bid for what we think is an uneconomic licence.” Mr Leeworthy said Port Phillip’s scallop grounds could support harvesting of between 200 and 400 tonnes a year.

He appealed DEPI’s decision in the Supreme Court but it was dismissed, leaving him with a legal bill of $26,000. “It was very disappointing as the issuing of one licence appears to contradict government competitive policy.” The change of government last month has revived his ambition and he will again seek a second licence. He said Port Phillip could support four licences. Mr Leeworthy said scallops were again in good numbers after the government banned scallop dredging in Port Phillip in 1997. Mornington was the epicentre of the industry with dozens of scallop boats moored at the town’s pier and a processing factory in the light industrial area. “There are good beds between Rye and Point Cook as well as around St Leonards and Portarlington,” he said. Mr Leeworthy said he had the support of WWF-Australia (formerly World Wildlife Fund) and the Victorian National Parks Association. During the auction process last year, DEPI said “a scallop dredge fishery began in Port Phillip in 1963. The fishery expanded over the next few years but collapsed in 1969 due to over-exploitation. The fishery recovered and continued until 1997 when the government closed the dredge fishery”. “Catches varied considerably from year to year, ranging from 18 to 2000 tonnes meat weight when the fishery was operating.

At the time of the closure, 18 fishers held commercial fishing licences for scallop fishing in Port Phillip, while a further 66 held licences for Port Phillip and the Ocean Zone. Fishers were paid compensation when the dredge fishery was closed.” Mr Leeworthy said 95 per cent of scallops lived for three years with some living for six. “They die between Feb-

ruary and April.” He said spider crabs feed on scallops but they were also eaten by introduced marine pests such as the Northern Pacific seastar, which has flourished in Port Phillip without natural predators since it arrived in ballast water in about 1995. Mr Leeworthy said his ambition was to open “Scallop World” on the beach at Rye where children could see live

scallops in tanks and people could try various scallop dishes in a restaurant or cafe. “We could generate at least 20 direct, full-time jobs.” Bruce Collis reportedly said his scallops would be sold to Neil Perry’s Rockpool group of restaurants. All but the most expensive scallops come from China.

WHEN Brian McMannis was Frankston SES controller for nearly three decades, emergency services volunteers did things the McMannis way. Now, the McMannis way will be immortalised after Frankston councillors backed a move to honour the former SES chief by naming a street near the organisation’s Seaford McCulloch Ave headquarters as McMannis Way. Mr McMannis told The Times he is “shocked but privileged” to have a street named in his honour. “It’s blown me away that they considered me for this,” he said. At this month’s council meeting, councillors unanimously backed the street name plan. Cr Glenn Aitken said Mr McMannis has been “very heavily involved in the community for many years and has been exemplary, to say the least”. “It is uncommon for anyone living to have streets or places named after them.” Cr Colin Hampton noted Mr McMannis “has brought together a team of both young and old people who go out day after day helping the residents of our town”. He said Mr McMannis “is a stalwart” and the McMannis Way street name will be “a fitting memorial to Brian”. “Whenever there is a problem, danger or a catastrophe of any sort, Brian is there with his troops sorting it out.” Mr McMannis stepped aside as Frankston SES controller in June this year after 28 years in the hot seat (‘SES chief looks back on decades of disas-

ters’, The Times 23/6/14). He is still an active SES volunteer who goes out to help those who urgently need it most. He praised his fellow SES volunteers for their selfless dedication in helping their community recover from disasters such as storms. “We’re one of the busiest units in the state,” he said.

“It takes a special person to give up their time and make sacrifices to help others.” Council will send a submission for the naming of McMannis Way to the Registrar for Geographic Names. Mr McMannis, a recipient of the Emergency Services Medal, was awarded the first-ever life membership of the SES in June.

Mystery around ducks’ death A SEAFORD resident was shocked to find only the heads of his two pet ducks when he checked on them last Tuesday morning. The brown and white ducks had their heads “twisted off” – possibly by a callous intruder - overnight and left on the lawn, while their bodies had been taken away. The ducks had been secured in a pen when attacked. Owner Shane Black, of Seaford Rd, said he was “horrified” at the find. “It was disgusting,” he said. “If it was foxes I could understand it – but if it was a cold-blooded killer people should be alerted.” Mrs Black said no blood or feathers were visible and the heads were neatly placed on the lawn – unlikely behaviour for a fox. To confirm his doubts he said a neighbour had

had four chooks killed the same way – with their heads left in a row in the yard. Another neighbour had recently lost four ducks in similar circumstances. “I really hope I am wrong,” Mr Black said. “I don’t want it to be a person but it is not the way foxes do it.” He said he had been sleeping at the far end of the house at the time of the attack and didn’t hear any noise. Senior Constable Steve Wisniewski, of Carrum Downs police, said no leads had been found in investigating the duck’s deaths. A spokesperson for the RSPCA said they were waiting on investigations from the “lead agency” – Carrum Downs police – a report. Stephen Taylor

Church leaders urge MPs to think Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au FEDERAL MP Bruce Billson has been forced to defend the Coalition government’s asylum seeker policy after a protest outside his office – not by placard-waving radicals but a loose alliance of peninsula church leaders and local branch of Amnesty International. Six leaders protested outside the MP’s Frankston office on Monday last week after failing to obtain an appointment to meet Mr Billson, who is Minister for Small Business in the Abbott government and the MP for Dunkley, which stretches from Seaford to Mornington. They have been invited to meet Mr Billson on 22 December after first requesting a meeting almost a month before but decided to go ahead with last week’s protest, which included the six walking into the MP’s office in pairs to present information sheets, Christmas cards and a “moral compass”. The six are Reverend Cameron McAdam, minister of the Village Uniting Church in Mt Eliza; Jean Woods; Jamie Edgerton, a member of New Peninsula Baptist Church in Mt Martha; Pastor Jim Catford of Mornington Church of Christ; Kevin Bain of Amnesty International’s peninsula branch; and Dr David Price, OAM, a member of St Mark’s Uniting Church in Mornington. Another alliance member – Archdeacon Phillip Newman, OAM, interim minister at St Peter’s Anglican

Church in Mornington – was not able to attend the protest. Dr Price, a retired surgeon who worked at Beleura and Frankston hospitals, said the group was very concerned about “the atrocious conditions being experienced by about 700 children held on Christmas Island”. He said changes to immigration laws passed by the Senate last week did not address about 170 children including 23 infants being held on

Nauru. “We’re calling for all children to be freed from detention not just those on Christmas Island,” he said. On 5 December the Senate passed sweeping changes to Australia’s immigration laws after Immigration Minister Scott Morrison agreed to lift Australia’s refugee intake by 7500 places, gave asylum seekers on bridging visas the right to work, and agreed to remove all children in camps on Christmas Island. The legislation

passed with the support of two Palmer United Party senators, Family First’s Bob Day, Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm and Ricky Muir of the Motoring Enthusiast Party. Dr Price said the peninsula alliance was part of a broader movement pressuring the government to release children in detention. “We are unhappy about the government reintroducing temporary protection visas [TPVs]. Positive elements include some asylum seekers being

permitted to work and children being released from Christmas Island, but Mr Morrison could have done this anytime since the government was elected in September 2013, and there are still children being held on Nauru.” After the protest, Mr Billson said the government was “continuing efforts that started immediately upon our election to reduce the number of children in detention resulting from Labor’s policy failures”. He said the number of children held on Christmas Island had been reduced by 75 per cent by the Coalition. “More than 80 per cent of children are residents in the community either on bridging visas or under resident determinations. We are working ... to get the remaining children out of detention in Australia now that legislation has been passed by the parliament.” Rev McAdam said it had never been right to detain children. “We are keeping children and their families locked in these places, many living in limbo, unsure of their futures.” He said he had asked Mr Billson “to lead and advocate for the immediate release of all children from detention, a closure of all offshore detention centres, and a fairer and more reasonable policy approach including a regional solution in the future”.

Gutter tactics target vulnerable residents POLICE are urging residents – especially the elderly - to be on the look-out for bogus tradies offering to work on their homes at cheap rates. These ‘tradies’ have been doorknocking in the Frankston area offering roof and gutter repair work. Last month, a 70-year-old man lost $14,000 when he was conned into accepting an offer to have his gutters replaced by men with Scottish or Irish accents. The main offender is described as being about 30 years old, 183cm tall with a Scottish or Irish accent and short red hair. He was wearing a bright red high-visability vest. No description of the other two men is available. Their approach is typical of cases where ‘tradies’ produce a flyer advertising their ‘business’, before offering to do the work at cut rates for cash or for cheques made out to cash.

Ejected: Victoria Police officers drag a Love Makes a Way protester from the Malvern office of Liberal MP Kelly O’Dwyer last Wednesday. Eleven people from the Mornington Peninsula including the shire’s 2013 young citizen of the year Sam Hearn were involved in the protest over the federal government’s children in detention policy.

Australian Federal Police. Eleven of the protesters were from the Mornington Peninsula including the shire’s 2013 young citizen of the year Sam Hearn, a youth worker and member of New Peninsula Church. They conducted non-violent “sit-ins” at the offices of Liberal MPs Kelly O’Dwyer in Malvern and Josh Frydenberg in Camberwell. Ms O’Dwyer replaced former Howard government treasurer Peter Costello in the federal parliament, and Mr Frydenberg re-

placed Petro Georgiou. The sit-ins were part of protests around Australia last Wednesday at government MPs’ offices that saw 53 church members arrested or removed. Mr Hearn, 25, of Mornington said Wednesday was International Human Rights Day. “We were calling on this government to show some humanity when it comes to children in detention,” he said. “There have been 25 babies born on Australian soil to asylum seekers and we want them released into the

community, not sent to Nauru.” The youth worker was one of 10 people ejected from Ms O’Dwyer’s office after Australian Federal Police were called to the office followed by Victoria Police officers, who carried and dragged people out of the office. Eight people were carried or dragged, and a nun and 20-year-old women walked out “unassisted”. “We were not arrested; just forcibly removed,” Mr Hearn said.

Once the client has been convinced to accept the offer, the men either complete the work at a poor standard or simply do not return to work at all. Detective Leading Senior Constable Richard Brown, of Frankston police, described the offenders as “gypsies” who travel around committing dishonesty offences. “They are the lowest of the low,” he said. “It’s a despicable act. These men are purposefully targeting the vulnerable and trusting members of our community and ripping them off.” If confronted by a supposed tradie, Detective Brown advised residents to say they already had a good tradesman, or that they were not interested and that they would like the men to leave. Then, take down any details and report the men to the National Travelling Con Men Hotline on 1300 133 408.

Hit-and-run injury A MAN was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with serious injuries early last Wednesday morning after a suspected hit-and-run on the Nepean Highway, Mt Eliza. Police and emergency services attended the scene near Tower Rd where the man was seriously injured after the vehicle he was in hit a pole. They believe a second vehicle involved in the collision left the scene before help arrived. Police found a white Honda Prelude with no number plates not far from the scene but late last week had not found the occupants. Anyone who witnessed the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to crimestoppersvic.com. au

Overcoming setback gives Riann new focus Music, stalls, food and A SERIOUS knee reconstruction after a motocross accident and 12 months of rehabilitation were the catalyst for a Langwarrin woman’s remarkable physical and mental transformation. She’s now in a new career, with new goals and sky-high performance standards. After the accident, Riann Burton, 20, began boxing classes to increase her aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility at the Powerhouse gym at Somerville run by Mick Michaela. Impressed by Riann’s determination to succeed, he offered to coach her for an upcoming fitness competition. The gym, in Simcock St, has a focus on training women to national levels in fitness modelling through a 16 week training program of intense exercise, dietary control and one-onone mentoring. After involving herself fully in the training regime, Riann took a ‘gap year’ from her university health science studies to concentrate on putting theory into practice. After 16 weeks training six days a week for two-three hours daily, Riann was placed first in her first competition run by the International Natural Bodybuilding Association last March. This qualified her for the national competition to be held in Queensland in October. In the meantime, a week after her first win, Riann competed in the internationally recognised FitX IFBB Fitness Modelling event at ‘Jeff’s Shed’ and, although she did not place, she was offered promotional exposure through professional photographer Ross Brownsdon. She came fifth in the Novice

fun at Waterfront Festival

Partnership: Riann and Mick’s gym work has led her to a new fitness career.

Fitness Model in the final competition of the season in May - a reasonable introduction to the sport. This led her to the Victorian INBA titles in September where she came first in the Novice and second in the Open division against more seasoned competitors. Her achievements at state level prompted an invitation to compete at the INBA Nationals in Brisbane in October where she placed second in the Novice Fitness Model and fourth in Open Fitness category.

“These titles have not come easy for Riann nor do they for any sportsperson who strives to succeed at a sport they are not ideally physically built for,” her dad, Michael Burton said. “Riann’s no-second-place attitude - and Mr Michaela’s dedication to her and the many girls he has trained to competition level - has helped her gain a new level of confidence and provided her with a new career in the health and fitness industry.” Stephen Taylor

THE Waterfront Festival returns to the Frankston foreshore on 17-18 January. It attracts 35,000 people over the two days and promises locals and visitors a weekend packed with live music, free activities, market stalls and great food and wine. The Live ‘n’ Local stage will have everyone up and dancing with two days of jazz, funk, indie, pop and rock music. Tiana V, Sol Nation, The Peninsula Folk Club and The Medley Boys will take to the stage over the festival weekend. Headline act the Rolling Stones Tribute Band will lead into the fireworks display over the bay at 9.45pm on the Saturday night. Try something new at the water’s edge: have a go at stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, sailing, outrigging and snorkelling. Children can join quirky fun-loving ‘mermaidens’ Nerissa and Aradia as they swim, dive and glide through the waves. Frankston Stand Up Paddle Festival 2015 will have races on both days. Experts and novices can get in and have a go, get some tips or just try this sport for the first time. The Beer and Wine Garden promises prime viewing for the weekend’s live music. Mornington Brewery, T’Gallant Winemakers and Cheeky Rascal Cider will have their products on hand to make sure

visitors don’t go thirsty. The food court will have a range of delicious gourmet food from across the region, including dumplings, burritos, meatballs, pizzas, sweet and savoury Danish pastries, ice cream and quality coffee from vendors. Kick back and enjoy high energy performances from local dance groups. The Waterfront Festival offers plenty of opportunities to discover new skills.

Centre staff take early leave Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre’s management committee have decided to hand over the keys to Frankston Council and walk away before Christmas. Council had indicated it would take control of the centre’s operations in August next year after alleged complaints were made against the centre (‘Centre takeover slammed’, The Times 29/9/14). Council CEO Denis Hovenden said in September that the nature of the complaints was “confidential”. The centre’s management committee are six unpaid volunteers but committee president Toni Burton said six full-time and part-time staff will lose their jobs as a result of council’s takeover. Ms Burton said the committee were still none the wiser about the nature of the complaints allegation, saying council had declined to provide details. The decision was made to hand over management of the centre to council at the end of this month rather than next August. “Why prolong it? We didn’t see the sense in waiting until then,” Ms Burton said. Social support worker Cheryl Billing Smith, a former Frankston Council community worker, has been teaching patchwork and sewing at the Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre for the past seven years. She contacted The Times to praise “the professional team” at the centre. Ms Billing Smith said the council

Good neighbours: Jenni Sheedy, left, Lindsay Jackel and Toni Burton at the Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre. Picture: Gary Sissons

cancellation of the Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre’s contract “is devastating”. “What is to become of the good work that the coordinator Jenni Sheedy has done over the decades? Her understanding of the needs of the local community are second to none and along with her fellow coordinator Lindsay Jackell they are the best in the business and they have surrounded themselves with a trusty team of committed workers in child care and in the office.” Deputy Frankston mayor Cr Glenn Aitken, whose North West Ward includes Frankston North, said council wants “the centre to work to its fullest potential”. “The current committee has done a

very good job of managing the centre to the best of its resources,” he said. “We’re certainly looking at injecting a wide range of activities into the centre and the people of Frankston North are set to benefit.” Cr Aitken said the Frankston North community “clearly have diverse needs” and providing wide access to programs at the centre may be “beyond a small committee to govern”. The centre’s staff hosted a farewell party last Friday and will close the doors for the final time under the existing management on Friday 19 December. Cr Aitken said council is ready to step in and ensure the centre is open to the community after the Christmas and New Year break.

Book solution to weighty problem

House fire investigated A LATE night house fire at McClelland Drive, Skye, on Sunday 7 December was attended by four trucks and a teleboom from Skye Fire Brigade. All occupants of the house escaped safely before crews arrived. The fire started at 10.15 in or around a Coonara-style wood heater, according to operations officer Paul Carrigg. “Skye was first on the scene, and

the fire had travelled from one end of the roof space to the other by the time they arrived,” he said. Firefighters entered the house using breathing apparatus and “did a great job” limiting damage from the fire mostly to the roof space. The fire was brought under control just after 11pm. Fire investigators were on the scene last Monday looking into the cause, although it was deemed to be not suspicious.

Signing times JUSTICE of the Peace signing centres at police stations on the Mornington Peninsula will continue to function during the holiday period excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years day. The Frankston signing centre will be closed 22 December-5 January. JPs are on duty to take affidavits and statutory declarations and to certify and witness state, national and international documents at: Frankston, 10am-3pm weekdays 9am-1pm Saturdays; Mornington, 11am-2pm Mondays and Thursdays; Rosebud, 11am-2pm Thursdays; Carrum Downs, 5pm-7pm Tuesday; Hastings, 5pm-7pm Wednesday.

JOHN Higgins was a book collector. Although not noted as an avid reader, he managed to fill his shelves with more than 2000 books. Their combined weight of just under one tonne was too much for his house, collapsing the stumps and causing a massive and potentially expensive headache for his wife, Francis, when Mr Higgins died two years ago. Grandson Beau Rixon decided the problem was also the solution: sell the books to pay for the restumping. "A lot of the books are still wrapped in plastic and some were bought for up to $80 when they were new," Mr Rixon said. “I think my grandfather saw the books as a status symbol. He was a hoarder, a collector.” Having recently sold his Frankstonbased True Blue Websites business to Smith Brothers Media in Cheltenham, Mr Rixon has turned his Young St shop into a pop-up bookshop for Christmas. "I like to follow the philosophy that if you are open to recognising opportunities, anything can happen, and in a crazy fast period of time," he said. Now working as an online marketing consultant, Mr Rixon made three round trips in a borrowed ute to his “nana’s” house in Wonthaggi to bring the stock to Frankston. After this, was a nine-hour job on Thursday night to sort the goods and put together tables and shelving from discarded timber in the area – collected during the week. After finishing at 3.30 in the morning the shop was ready to open at 9am Friday.

Everything must go: Beau Rixon is selling his grandfather’s book collection from a pop-up shop in Frankston. Picture: Yanni

“To my surprise the first customer came in as soon as I opened. Despite the store itself being set up and opened in the space of four days, Mr Rixon says this may “only just be the beginning”. He plans to launch a website and

Summer campaign to protect bay dolphins

Cause is a dolphin: Bella and Mia happy to wear Santa hats to promote the adopt-a-dolphin campaign.

Dolphin ‘work’ is never done IT can’t really be seen as having a pet, but giving a Christmas gift of an “adopted” dolphin can help improve the mammals’ lives in Western Port and Port Phillip. Money raised by the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute’s adopt-a-dolphin campaign pays for research and marine education programs that, according to executive director Jeff Weir, have reached more than 100,000 people. “Without our adopt-a-dolphin supporters over 24 years, much of our knowledge of Victorian dolphins, our wonderful marine education programs and our award winning i sea, i care ambassador program would not exist,” Mr Weir said. “Our remarkable Port Phillip is home to both bottlenose and common dolphins and, even though we have made progress, our work is

needed today as much as it was 24 years ago. “We are still concerned about injuries to dolphins from vessels, entanglements and the impacts of coastal pollution on the whole marine ecosystem.” Mr Weir said the institute helped “to develop the next generation of scientists and environmental managers”. “Adopt-a-dolphin and you can rest easy this summer knowing that you’ve helped to look after our dolphins and their watery home in our own backyard.” It costs $98 a year to “adopt” a dolphin or $150, which includes a trip with Sorrento-based Moonraker Dolphin Swims. Join online at dolphinresearch.org.au or call 1300 130 949.

THE Dolphin Research Institute has launched a summer campaign to raise awareness of rules that apply when watching dolphins. Institute executive director Jeff Weir compares dolphins being surrounded by motor boats to “a dozen motor bikes charging through your Christmas picnic, demolishing your food and causing you and your family to dive for cover”. “That’s what it’s like for our dolphins on a busy summer’s day – over and over again. Picture what it’s like for a mother dolphin trying to nurse her new-born calf. “And yes, some dolphins do get injured.” Mr Weir said a young common dolphin sometimes seen in Port Phillip was known as “DD” for damaged dorsal fin. “We first thought it had seaweed stuck to its fin, as they often play with weed, but it wasn’t. Its fin had been badly slashed by a boat propeller and what looked like weed was actually skin flapping from a fresh wound,” he said. “DD is a severe case and most interference is more subtle. How many times a day is it OK for boats to interrupt feeding, or nursing, to cause the dolphins to rapidly dive or evade vessels?” Mr Weir said Dolphin watching regulations were complex so the institute had joined with the Department of Environment and Primary Industries to spread a more simple message: “Help Keep our dolphins in the bay – stay 100 metres away”. Volunteers are distributing 10,000 “Help keep our dolphins in the bay” stickers through shops and at boat ramps and beaches. “Most of the problems would be solved if everyone stayed a hundred metres away,” Mr Weir said.

Safe distance: A sticker and image of a wounded dolphin are being used in a campaign to stop boaters taking their craft too close to dolphins.

“If dolphins swim to you, enjoy their company, then let them swim away. Don’t follow or deliberately approach them.” Mr Weir said the slogan did not replace formal regulations that require boaters not to approach dolphins closer than 100m and whales 200m (on a jet ski the approach distance for both is 300m). “If you are swimming or paddling the distance is 30 metres,” he said. Licensed tour operators and researchers can go closer. Penalties for breaching the regulations range from thousands of dollars to jail. Call 136 186 to report any incidents or 1300 130 949 for a sticker. Details at dolphinresearch. org.au.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Patrons enjoy cruise around the bay Compiled by Melissa Hodge WITH the next issue of the “Standard” we will present our readers with a large sheet almanac for 1915. Correspondents, advertisers and others will please note that as Christmas Day falls on Friday our next issue will be published on Thursday next, and we therefore remind you that all news, etc must reach this office not later than Wednesday morning’s mail. *** THE Methodist Church at Hastings held a social in the local Town Hall on Friday evening last, which was very poorly attended by the members of the Church. A programme of games and musical items was gone through and a very sumptuous supper handed round by the ladies. *** THE school committee of Hastings have shown keen practical sympathy in the severe illness which has overtaken Miss Bowell, assistant-junior teacher. A collection to help her pay her expenses during sickness was made and £17 4s was handed over to Miss Bowel’s mother to be used for the young lady’s benefit. The public of Hastings’ district expressed hearty appreciation of the committee’s action and the response was spontaneous. *** AT the meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association held on the 7th it was resolved on the motion of Messrs Griffith and Grant, that the Railway commissioners be asked to erect entirely new buildings at this station. The present buildings being

obsolete and unfit for use by a white man in the summer months. The show committee reported that it had decided that it would be unwise to open the show in the evening this year. *** THE Accountant of the Education Department, Mr Witton, is Treasurer of the schools’ Patriotic Fund. He speaks most enthusiastically of the splendid result already achieved by the children, parents, teachers, and officers. “The total amount received by me to date” he stated at an interview “is £8283 0s 1d — a really magnificent response.” All interested may congratulate themselves on the fine result. The statement is to the 11th inst. The final payments for 1914 are yet to come in. One thing is certain that Mr Witton will look after that odd penny as assiduously as he will the eight thousand odd pounds. Mr Tait, the director, is delighted with the nobly loyal and truly British response. *** MR James Westley, as Executor of the late Charles Wright, has forwarded to the undermentioned charities, as beneficiaries under the will of deceased the following amounts:- Half-yearly instalments - Melbourne Hospital £51 12s 4d, Alfred Hospital £48 4s 6d, Homoeopathic Hospital £19, Poor Boxes at Melbourne City Court, South Melbourne Court, Collingwood Court and Fitzroy Court £5 each, Poor of Mornington £50; Quarterly instalments— Melbourne Benevolent Asylum, Children’s Hospital, Austin Hospital, Deaf and Dumb Asylum and Blind Asylum

£45 each. *** ON Wednesday afternoon at the Frankston railway station, Mr J. Jordan was presented by his fellow employees with a handsome Baya clock. Mr Anderson, in making the presentation, congratulated Mr Jordan on his recent marriage, and expressed on behalf of the staff, the good wishes by one and all tendered to Mr Jordan. Mr Girdlestone, in supporting the presentation, expressed the pleasure it was to be associated in any recognition of Mr Jordan. His courtesy to all was proverbial, and he heartily joined in the good wishes expressed. Mr P Cowling, on behalf of the ‘loco,’ in wishing Mr and Mrs Jordan all sorts of good luck, regretted the loss of another ‘cobber’ from the fast diminishing ranks of bachelors on the job. Why they all got married he could not understand, but thought the only way to solve the problem was to go and do likewise. Mr Jordan expressed his pleasure at the good wishes tendered him, and also for the handsome gift. He was certain there was only one time the clock would keep, that in remembrance of the good wishes and he prompted the gift. *** ALTHOUGH it rained heavily on Monday evening last, it did not hinder many people from attending the production of East Lynne, by the Maurice Gerald Dramatic Company, and those who did attend were well rewarded for their pluck in facing such weather. No doubt, had it been a fine night, there

would not have been standing room. Mr Gerald is well known in the Commonwealth, not only as a fine actor, but a good manager who always has a first class company to support him. Space will not allow us to give a detailed account of the performance, but we can safely say no better company has paid Frankston a visit. On Monday evening next, December 21st, the company will return, and produce Bland Holt’s great play “When London Sleeps”. During the action of the drama, several songs will be introduced. A bumper house should reward Mr Gerald for his trouble. The company intend to play in Frankston weekly during the summer months, producing a fresh play each week. *** THE Arcadians advertise in another column that they will give a grand entertainment in the Frankston Mechanics Hall tonight (Saturday). There is also a dance to follow. *** THE special children’s services at St Paul’s Church Frankston, tomorrow (11 and 3 o’clock) should be well attended by parents and all interested in children. *** ST Paul’s Sunday school picnic will be held on Monday at Ballam Park. All are hoping for fine weather. *** AT a meeting of the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall trustees, it was decided to enlarge the building to the extent of about £500. This will remedy a long felt want, as the present accommoda-

tion is altogether insufficient. *** THERE are many Empire songs and other choruses on the programme for the children’s concert in connection with St Pauls Sunday school festival at Frankston. Included is a wonderful dream song, and another one where the fairies come. Mrs Dial has prepared the children so nothing more need be said. *** THE Westernport Bay trip which was duly arranged by the Westernport Progress Association, was very well patronised, there being about 140 who took advantage of seeing the beautiful Bay, on the favourite steamship “Genista,” under the command of Captain McLeod. On arrival of the train at Stony Point, on December 10th, the boat was awaiting, and left there about 11.30am, for Cowes, Rhyll, Newhaven, and San Remo, passing the Naval Base, which there is so much talk about. On arrival at San Remo everyone went ashore to have lunch, and to stroll round to see the places of interest, and especially the shelly back beach. The boat left again about 4 o’clock, and went over towards Corinella, and then back to Stony Point, where a special train was waiting to convey the excursionists to their different stations. The whole proceedings were enlivened by the playing of the Hastings band. There was a muster of 14 performers who discoursed sweet music during the voyage. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 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

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

ENTERTAINMENT

Performance NOEL Fielding, star of multi award winning comedy duo The Mighty Boosh, will return to Australia for a national tour in April 2015. Noel will present a unique brand of standup comedy, live animation, music and some of Fielding’s best known TV characters including The Moon and Fantasy Man. There will also be muscular support from the loose stylings of Mike Fielding (Naboo/ Smooth). Noel’s additional television credits include The IT Crowd as well as appearances in Doll and Em, How Not to Live Your Life, and Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow. He also co-presented Comic Relief does Top of the Pops. Noel has also been a team captain on the last four series of the long running music show Nevermind The Buzzcocks. Noel’s film credits include the BAFTA nominated short, Sweet, the debut feature from Mighty Boosh director Paul King, Bunny and the Bull and Horrid Henry: The Movie. Noel has held two exhibitions of his artwork, Psychedelic Dreams of the Jelly Fox and Bryan Ferry vx. The Jelly Fox. In 2011 he released Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton, an art book of old and new paintings, drawings and photography. Noel will appear at Hamer Hall, Arts Centre on Wednesday April 15. Tickets 1300 182 183. www.luxurycomedy.com *** FROM sweet voiced prodigy with the Jackson Five to self-styled King of Pop superstardom. He may have seemed weird, but he was unarguably wonderful. Even if you believe just a fraction of what’s been written about him, there’s little doubt that Michael Jackson was truly unique. He sold more records than any living performer and roused a generation with his stunning videos and best-selling albums. Now the legends lives on and the musical Thriller is coming to Mel-

bourne. Thriller Live enters records books as the 20th longest running musical in West End history. Thriller has played over 3000 shows globally, seen by three million people and toured to over 28 countries. Thriller Live is over two hours of non-stop hits from pop to rock, soul to disco in a show that pays homage

to Michael Jackson’s legendary live performances and the magic of his 45-year musical history. Thriller Live features stunning choreography and Michael’s innovative dance moves executed with flair, precision and passion in a show that fans will never forget. Two of the stars on this tour will be Australian’s MiG Ayesa and Prinnie

Stevens who have just performed the roles in the West End, London. MiG Ayesa has a huge list of achievements as a stage and concert performer here in Australia and around the world. He finished third in the global hit TV show Rock Star: INXS, and released his self-titled debut album, MiG, through Decca/Universal. He went on to star in many West End musicals including We Will Rock You, Rent, and in Thriller Live and his Broadway credits include Burn the Floor and Rock of Ages. Back in Australia, he played in Grease, Cinderella, and in West Side Story, and toured Australia and Asia with The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Thriller Live combines high-energy choreography and dancing, eye-popping video footage and a myriad of effects. Plus dazzling costumes, sequins and hot pants, not to mention that signature white suit and glove. Thriller Live was originally conceived and created by Adrian Grant, a long-time associate of Michael Jackson, and author of Michael Jackson – The Visual Documentary. Thriller Live will open at the Arts Centre on Wednesday January 28. Tickets 1300 002 787. www.thrillerlive.com.au *** THE Rocky Horror Show musical will return to the Comedy Theatre in 2015 due to popular demand. Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show played a sold out Melbourne season from April to July this year, and was forced to close to enable its star, Craig McLachlan, to film season three of his hit TV series The Dr Blake Mysteries. The Rocky Horror Show will play a limited season at the Sydney Lyric Theatre from 11 April 2015, and then return to the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne from 12 June. The coveted role of Frank N Furter will again be played by television and theatre star Craig McLachlan, who won the 2014 Helpmann Award for Best Male Actor in a Musical for this

budget. After a month of the “Your Say” double pages in my favourite newspaper many thousands have apparently departed for Queensland. *** IF the election doesn’t go your way you shrug your shoulders and put it down to the ignorance/stupidity of the voting public. The evidence is staring you in the face; are you blind? They think we are stupid and we think they are stupid, which of course translates to all of us being 90 cents in the dollar. Further, it follows there’s an odds-on chance those elected are also stupid. Can anyone think of a better system? “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” (John Kenneth Galbraith). George Washington is the only president who didn’t blame the previous administration, ditto William Haines and Sir Edmund Barton. It is only about things that do not interest one that one can give really unbiased opinions, which is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is always valueless. *** SADLY my local RSL, in a ridiculous decision, has cut our dedicated smoking zone by more then 50%, leaving the remainder overcowded and almost unprotected from rain. Banished like lepers and an empty covered non smoking decking area outside the

dining area. If smoking causes kidney and bladder cancer, doubles the risk of stroke, throat cancer, heart disease, damages our gums and teeth, and all other ills that come to mind, as they tell us with their usual doubtful certainty, it’s a wonder we are not all dead. On the other hand the non smokers will almost all get telegrams from the Queen. “A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?” [Oscar Wilde]. *** REGULAR readers of this column (both of you) will attest my appreciation as to the value of good counselling. As was the case with our brave cricketers on the tragic death of Phillip Hughes. Gender December, as in gender neutral toys from Santa, deadly pink and blue merchandise, dolls and jewelry. Said Greens Senator Larissa Waters “While seemingly harmless can lead to serious social problems, including violence to woman and children”. Why not take it a step further by hiring department store counsellers to issue leaflets setting out possible later in life problems? Are you overwhelmed, distressed, confused, in crisis? Do you feel accepted, non-judged, and valued? Tripe. *** SPORT: My magpie mates training their little hearts out at Falls Creek

after only a nine week holiday. A short weeks break for Christmas and off again to Queenstown in New Zealand for more hard yakka. Assistant coach Scotty Burns “can see the growth, the change in their personality; miles ahead of where they were this season. Looking like a top four in 2015”. Cricketer David Warner’s 145 runs compliments of “the little man upstairs was with me” who went missing during Brad Haddon’s duck. And pigs fly. *** LORD Tony stopped the boats, removed the fixed price on carbon and stopped the mining tax. Credit where it’s due! Not really, but worth a favourable mention. Tony’s three heroes-John Howard, Ronald Reagan and Dame Margaret Thatcher; enough said? Better Lord Tony than the smiling assassin Malcolm Turnbull or (dread) Julie Bishop, as Prime Minister. *** CHRISTMAS Day: The one day of the year when niceness prevails, where the world is thrown open with the welcome sign rich and poor, in Australia anyway. It’s a nice feeling, albeit for just 16 hours. Religious leaders sprout their messages but most take little notice, preferring to waft in the general feelings of happiness, affections, the hope of regenerated feelings, and for people of my vintage, memories of a grate-

Following on from his presenting duties at this year’s ARIA Awards, where he was also nominated for the second year in a row for Best Blues & Roots Album, Russell releases the latest single titled Eureka. Written by Russell Morris and the late Australian rock music journo and historian Ed Nimervol, the single features with the breathtaking talents of Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil) on drums and Anita Quayle on Cello. The song immortalises the battle of the Eureka Stockade 160 years ago often considered the birth place of Australian Democracy. TOP TEN ALBUMS 1. When the Sun Sets Over Carlton – Various 2.

A Grain of Salt OUR state election went as expected despite a final week barrage of misinformation nonsense from my favourite morning newspaper. The sadness of cricketer Phil Hughes death, raised strangely to Princess Diana proportions, was respite from some from the idiocy. I settled for The Voluntary Euthanasia Party; the Sex Party could do nothing for my problem. Seeing the backside of Matthew Guy as Planning Minister, for now, was a plus. *** MARTY (Dixon) was a shoe-in despite a 5% swing to Labor. Change is a four letter word on the Mornington Peninsula, almost guaranteeing nothing will be done by either party. Billy boy Shorten’s introductory speech prior to Danny’s acceptance speech was an embarrassment. (“We are watching history being made” said Bill. When aren’t we?). Whatever Bill’s future, the Labor Party would do well to gag him. Thankfully trumped by Danny, and Denis’s conceding speech. Well done Bentleigh to Frankston. CCTV at Rye? I’m dreaming. *** A THOUSAND reasons as to why, but it surely began with the Tafe closures, continued on with four years of inaction compliments to a large degree of our mate, Frankston’s Geoff Shaw and obviously out of his depth Joe (“We are listening to the Australian people”) Hockey’s world’s worst

By Cliff Ellen ful past; like the Salvos singing ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’, a secret glimpse in the Man magazine at the newsagents, a cartoonish drawing of a female; 1940’s porn; guilt. Ever onwards. *** MY ageing love to the gorgeous deli females at Rye Woolworths, always a pleasure. On the other hand they threatened not to serve me...“Our business-orientated civilization has defined adulthood as the absence of playfulness. But playfulness exists despite that. It is a sign of life in a person. It’s creativity. Playing is a product of your imagination. I find that charming in the people I know, and in my dealings with adults I always try to get out of them moods and aspects of playfulness and fantasy; to get people off their high horses. I feel people choke down the best of their selves when they deny their creative fantasy life” [Kazan]...Farewell to Phyllis Dorothy James, aged 94, crime writer supreme...Happy Christmas...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com

Phillips cleans up Rye PROVINCIAL By IT Gully LONG Island finished the year with an outright win against Rye in MPCA Provincial cricket. After the completion of day one, Long Island was just 75 runs short of first innings victory after bowling Rye out for 137. The Islanders got to work on Saturday, quickly racing to 6/189 before declaring their innings. Aaron Paxton top scored for the Islanders with 75, while Brad Denny scored 44 in his return game for the club. Skipper Simon Dignan was also at his best, scoring a quick-fire 42. Leigh Lambert was the best of the Rye bowlers, claiming 3/50 from 16 overs. The Demons’ second innings was just as poor as its first, bowled out

for 129. Scott Phillips picked up five wickets, giving him 13 for the match. Greg Lamb also claimed three scalps. Aaron Fiddes top scored for Rye in the second innings with 30 runs, while Tommy Barrand opened with 25. The Islanders made extremely hard work of getting the 77 runs required for victory. The pressure was on. They had just 10 overs to score the runs. Both openers went quickly and the Islanders were 2/4. When Aaron Paxton went, they were 3/16. Enter the champ Scott Phillips. As if taking 13 wickets wasn’t enough, he then scored 52 runs to guide his side to 8/84 and outright victory. When he was run out, his team need just three runs for victory. Langwarrin kept itself well and truly in the finals hunt with an impressive win over Baxter.

Resuming at 0/2 after bowling Baxter out for 144 on day one, the Kangas cruised to victory, eventually finishing on 6/199. Andy Johnson was at his finest again, dragging his side over the line with 76. Coach Mark Cooper continued his fine start to the season with 42 and Danny Weare was back and unbeaten on 29 at the end of the day’s play. At the conclusion of day one, Crib Point looked no chance of beating Mt Eliza. The Magpies were bowled out for 129 and despite having the Mounties 1/9 overnight, winning was a long shot. It’s a funny game, cricket. Brad Davidson (6/29) brought his brilliance to the table and together with the master Luke Herrington (2/32), took the Mounties to the cleaners.

Mt Eliza was bowled out for 103, ending their season. The Mounties have just one win from six matches, along with Pines, Moorooduc and Rye, while Heatherhill is still without a win. Heatherhill avoided an outright loss against Sorrento. The Hills were bowled out for 136 on the first day of the match and Sorrento made 6/209 in 51 overs. Nick Jewell was the best of the batsmen with 81, while Liam O’Connor scored 37 and Anthony Blackwell 34. In their second innings, the Hills were 2/0, before Matthew Bishop pulled things into line with a top score of 23. The Hills survived the last 41 overs of the day and finished at 8/63. AJ King picked up 3/14 from 15 overs for the Sorras.

Mornington cruised to victory against Pines, easily defending its 159. Pines was bowled out for just 98. Jake Prosser and Jarrod Coad were the only batsmen to offer any resistance, scoring 32 and 31 respectively. Glenn Wood was the pick of the Doggies bowlers with 4/23, while Michael Heib took 4/24. Peninsula Old Boys recorded an easy win over Moorooduc. The Old Boys had already won at the conclusion of day one after bowling the Ducs out for 157 before ending themselves at 2/163. The Old Boys declared at 8/261 before going for the outright. Dylan O’Malley top scored with 72 while Matt Hyden hit 63 and Wade Pelzer 32. Moorooduc was 3/123 at stumps.

Baden Powell put on brave effort against Seaford DISTRICT By IT Gully THERE were three matches that went into a second day and three one day games in MPCA District cricket on Saturday. It was a great day for Baden Powell, picking up a rare win against Seaford. Seaford scored just 168 in its 80 overs last week. It appeared to be enough against a brittle Braves line up. However, the home side was solid throughout its innings, winning with four overs to spare. Sean Wilson provided the backbone of the innings, scoring 51, while skipper Rhys Elmi was a great support, scoring 27. Together they took the score from 1/4 to 1/84. However, three quick wickets saw the score quickly slump to 5/89. Tom Kellerman though came to the crease and ensured his team got over the line with a fine innings of 60. Faisal Payenda was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 2/62. Carrum rightfully got the job done against Main Ridge. It was a runfest on day one of the match with the Ridge scoring 227 before Carrum scored 3/112 at the conclusion of the day. The Lions were superb on day two, finishing on 290. Dean Polson top scored with 76 and Dale O’Neil scored 56. Brad Rossborough was the pick of the Main Ridge bowlers with 4/40, while Scott Millar added 4/137 to his unbeaten 40 with the bat. Red Hill scored an easy victory over Hastings. The Blues batted first and made 6/128 in its 40 overs. Aaron Vinson top scored with 24, while Luke Hewitt hit 22 and Timmy Birch 21. Ross Corfield was the best of the Red Hill bowlers with 3/18 off 10 overs. In reply, Red Hill got the runs in the last over of the day. Nick Shaw set up the win with 60 opening the batting, while Simon Dart scored 37. Somerville and Seaford Tigers went toe to toe in a run shoot out. It was the Eagles who came out on top. The Tigers batted first and made 6/224 in their 40 overs. Ash Mills got his side off to a good start with 55, while David James and Matty Meagher enjoyed a 140 run partnership, scoring 76 and 62 respectively. It looked enough. However, Somerville’s batting line up runs deep. Leigh Lowry top scored with 45 while six batsmen scored 20 runs or more. The Eagles got the runs with an over to spare. Delacombe Park recorded a monster win against Flinders. The Parkers batted first at BA Cairns Reserve and whacked 5/296. Chris Brittain scored 104 and Nick Christides 70. In reply, the Sharks could only manage 7/181, Tim Clarke superb with an unbeaten 124.

Bradley winds back clock SUB-DISTRICT

Shoot-out: It was a batting test between Somerville and Seaford Tigers, with the Eagles coming out on top. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully THREE of the five matches played in Sub District cricket on Saturday were one day games. Only Dromana versus Rosebud and Tyabb versus Frankston YCW were played over two days after rain effected many games last weekend. There was no sign of rain on Saturday. In fact it was a sensational day for cricket and in particular, the Tyabb versus Frankston YCW clash where the stage was set for the evergreen Paul Bradley. Remembering of course that Bradley claimed 6/64 on the first day of the match. With his side up against the ropes against the Yabbies, Bradley wound back the clock and almost single handedly dragged his side over the line. Chasing 169 for victory, YCW were 4/30 at the beginning of the day. Bradley took control of the match and made 96; enough to see the Stonecats score 208 and claim victory. Nathan Hudgson was the best of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 3/20. Skye recorded a comfortable victory against Ballam Park, thanks largely to a couple of debutants. After playing the first five matches of the season in the seconds, Aheilan Wijeyamanoharan and Ryan

Pathmanathan took their place in the First XI and had an immediate impact. Wijeyamanoharan took 4/7 off six overs and Pathmanathan claimed 3/20 off eight overs to guide Skye home. Skye batted first and scored 9/156, Paul Fillipone top scoring with 36. Ryan O’Connor picked-up 5/31 from 10 overs for the Knights. In reply, the Knights were bowled out for 101. David Roach top scored with 42 and O’Connor opened with 29. Rosebud fell agonisingly one wicket short of an outright win against Dromana. Dromana was bowled out for 65 in their first innings and Rosebud resumed at 0/8. They declared at 6/143 before sending the Hoppers back in. Dromana batted out the rest of the day and finished on 9/73. Pearcedale and Tootgarook played out an exciting game of one day cricket, the Dales coming out of top. The Dales batted first and made 7/209. Brad Trotter top scored with 81 and Max Blackburn blasted 64. In reply, the Frogs got close with 199, falling 10 runs short. In the final game Carrum Downs (6/179) upset Balnarring (155), winning by 24 runs. Mark Snelling was the star again for the Cougars with 68. Ben King was the best of the Saints’ batsmen with 64.

Frankston High shines at Champs THE day after Tasmanian athletics sensation Jack Hale took the coveted 100m – 200m sprint double, Frankston High School boy’s athletics team lined up against him in the Australian All Schools Knockout Championships in Adelaide. And they came away smiling after winning a bronze medal. To make their efforts even more impressive, Frankston High was only one of a few state schools to qualify for the Australian championships against the powerful private school system, and the only one to medal. The intermediate boys’ team placed

third overall to Ipswich Grammar and Barker College. The junior boys’ team - which also qualified for the national team’s event among a slew of private schools - placed a respectable fifth. Top individual Frankston performances were Michael Cann winning the long jump, Lewis Bailey the 100m hurdles and Brad Butler taking out both the javelin and shot put. The Frankston team thanks its sponsor, Melbourne Truck Centre, for making the trip possible.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

It’s a bronze: Intermediate boys’ team members are Ben Williams, Michael Cann, Lawson Power, Matthew LaFontaine, Daniel Vella, Jarryd Oliver and Kadel Key.

Australia’s Best Cars judges praised its exceptional value for money, award winning in-car infotainment system and its engaging performance. Particular credit was also directed at the Commodore’s responsive ride and handling which was developed and tuned at Holden’s Lang Lang Proving Ground in Australia. The Commodore SV6 also distinguished itself from its rivals through its superior fuel economy and cost of ownership. The SV6’s frugal, yet powerful V6 engine can deliver fuel economy of just 9.0 litres per 100 kilometres, and Holden’s attractive Capped Price Servicing and Warranty offers remain some of the best in the industry. Holden’s Executive Director - Corporate Affairs, George Svigos said that for VF Commodore to win the award for a second year running reflected its exciting performance and excellent

value for money. “The VF Commodore is the most advanced car ever built in Australia,” Mr Svigos said. “The SV6 is a great looking car and it offers exhilarating power in the form of our 3.6 litre V6 engine and well-connected in-car technology with MyLink. It is also one of the safest cars around, boasting a maximum 5-star ANCAP rating and ISOFIX child seat anchorage system.” Australia’s Best Cars awards bring together experienced vehicle test judges from state motoring clubs across Australia to decide the final award winners. After extensive testing, judges award points based on 18 criteria including vehicle handling, cost and environmental performance. This is the second year the VF Commodore SV6 has won the award after being described last year as the “best car ever made in Australia”, when it defeated the Peugeot 508 and the Toyota Aurion. This year it defeated the Hyundai Genesis and Skoda Superb.
