Tip dispute costs councils Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE long-running legal dispute between Frankston and Casey councils over responsibility for a Cranbourne methane gas leak has ended with ratepayers the losers. Frankston Council decided to make a “commercial decision” to settle the legal action taken by Casey Council to recoup some of the $23.5 million the City of Casey and the Environment Protection Authority coughed up in 2011 to homeowners near the former Cranbourne landfill site in Stevensons Rd. The Stevensons Rd Landfill operated between June 1996 and June 2005 as a municipal tip for Casey

and Frankston councils, with EPA approval. In 2008, about 750 homes in the Brookland Greens Estate in Cranbourne were evacuated after methane gas leaked from the nearby closed landfill site. Law firm Slater & Gordon launched a successful class action to force Casey Council and the EPA to pay $23.5 million in compensation. Frankston Council agreed late last month to a $10 million settlement with Casey Council, reduced to $9 million after a $1 million “third party offset” was negotiated. Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said council had already paid out $5 million in legal fees and could have faced further costs if council

had decided to take the matter to the Supreme Court “where we had no guarantee of success”. “Failing in the Supreme Court could have meant trebling this amount,” Cr Mayer said. The $14 million loss is a blow to Frankston ratepayers but it is understood Casey Council’s legal bill is even higher. Casey Council was quick to criticise Frankston Council over its legal fees bill when contacted by The Times but then refused to disclose its own outlay on lawyers. Casey mayor Cr Mick Morland said Casey Council “is disappointed that Frankston sought to avoid its responsibility to share in the cleanup costs at the Stevensons Rd Closed

Landfill, and that Casey ratepayers had to fund legal action to recover Frankston’s contribution”. “It must be even more disappointing for Frankston residents that the City of Frankston spent $5 million in legal fees trying to avoid its obligations, and then settled the case by paying a further $10 million to Casey,” Cr Morland said last Friday. When questioned by The Times on the extent of Casey’s legal bill, Cr Morland said mediation and negotiation details “are confidential”. “However, Casey acted in good faith at all times during the mediation, whilst driving a hard bargain on behalf of its ratepayers,” he said. “Council would have preferred for Frankston to have met its obligations

without being forced to do so via litigation.” The Times understands Casey Council has spent in excess of $25 million in legal fees on Stevensons Rd Landfill matters, more than the $23.5 million compensation figure agreed in 2011. Casey Council did not respond before publication when the $25 million legal fees amount was put to them. Frankston Council admitted no liability when making its settlement with Casey. Cr Mayer said council “shares the dismay” some Frankston residents may feel “at the costs and time involved” but the settlement protects council from any future legal action.

Labor campaign plan to roll on Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LABOR insiders have credited their “boots on the ground” approach to electioneering for much of the party’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 – and the streets – to roll the strategy out to New South Wales and Queensland during those states’ 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 “one term” political fate as Denis Naphine. Labor assistant state secretary Kosmos Samaras says the party’s campaign strategy, which relied on volunteers doorknocking and calling undecided voters in marginal seats, will be “a permanent fixture”. Momentum in politics is crucial and Samaras regards Labor’s Community Action Network field campaign as instrumental in helping Daniel Andrews become Victoria’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. “That’s the trick… we’ll never disband it,” Samaras said. The party official said Labor had used “traditional” 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 “absorb political messages”. Samaras was unconcerned when both the Herald Sun and The Age newspapers editorialised against Labor on the eve of last week’s polling day and backed the re-election of the Napthine government. “People do read articles but do they read editorials buried within the paper? I don’t think so.”

Ensuring everyone within Labor’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 Times he believed the Liberal Party had made “a strategic misstep” in campaigning “pretty hard against the union movement” as part of their pre-election campaign. “Union members are just regular folk… and we went out and had real conversations about real experiences with people,” 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

Frankston result too close to call

settled well before last month’s poll. “It was easier to negotiate with the Kennett government,” Mr Hilakari said. The Trades Hall was union funded and not officially part of the Labor campaign. Union members encouraged votes to “put the Liberals last” rather than ask them to vote for Labor. “We were comfortable about people making up their own mind on how to vote,” Mr Hilakari said. “We’re rapt with the outcome.” 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 government’s election campaign but the Liberals did seem to be outmanoeuvred by Labor’s field campaign in the weeks before the state election. While Labor and Trades Hall were out speaking to voters, the Liberals relied on ‘cash splash’ announcements and ineffective strategies such as publishing a so-called ‘community newspaper’ called The Southern Express, in reality a thinly-disguised party propaganda brochure, to spruik their public transport promises.

VOTE counting is still underway in Frankston more than a week after the state election. Labor’s Paul Edbrooke remained ahead of Liberal candidate Sean Armistead by 336 votes on Friday evening. The Victorian Electoral Commission will begin counting formal preference distributions on Monday. Labor won 46 seats, the Coalition 38, one went to the Greens, another to an independent and Frankston and Prahran are still in doubt.

Cannabis seized FRANKSTON police seized a quantity of synthetic cannabis – nicknamed Purple Haze or Kronic - from the Erotic Nights adult store in Young St on 2 December. Senior Constable Matt Pearce said the owner had been charged with trafficking and possession of a banned substance. He will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 5 March.

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

Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au 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 preparing 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 ap-

DURING the Fire Danger Period:  A written permit is required to burn grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation. A permit may be issued by the Municipal Fire Prevention Officer or CFA district office. Check with your municipality in the first instance.  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.  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.  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.  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

proach 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.

Don’t be late... see Wonderland at library A PICTURE is being painted where there are thousands of words. Frankston Library is being transformed with the painting of several murals by Frankston artists Brigitte Dawson and Melissa Turner. The duo’s Melbourne Murals business has painted more than 1000 murals both in Australia and abroad and are happy they are able to bring a splash of colour to their Frankston home town with their latest creation, an Alice In Wonderland inspired mural at the library. Turner said it had taken “about a

week” to complete the first section of the new mural and expected it would take another week to finish two more sections. “Progress has been a bit patchy because the weather has been horrible the past week,” she said. The library mural is being painted in a Trompe l’oeil style to make it interactive and look realistic. The skilled artists’ creative flair and eye for detail is evident in the Alice In Wonderland mural. Dawson’s artwork has been displayed at many exhibitions, and she

has completed murals and artistic design for Channel 7, Fitness First, Channel 9 and the Australian Grand Prix. Turner has donated many painting and murals to charity fundraisers and explores different styles such as Trompe L’oeil and Surrealism. She also taught herself to weld and manipulate metals to create sculptures. See melbournesmurals.com.au for examples of the artists’ works. Neil Walker

Respect for Elders key to festival safety Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au WHILE more than 40,000 festivalgoers enjoyed last weekend’s Frankston Christmas Festival of Lights, watchful eyes monitored crowd behaviour and was ready to step in at any sign of trouble. Frankston police officers were in attendance of course, but they were joined by Victoria Maori Wardens volunteers who were also on hand to speak to potential troublemakers and help festival attendees whenever possible. The wardens’ attendance was part of a cultural relationship alliance formed earlier this year between Frankston police and Maori and Pacific Islanders elders to engage with local youths before trouble finds them. Victoria Maori Wardens chairman James Smith said the program has been successful in New Zealand and has been expanded to Australia. The pilot program was hosted in Dandenong and was rolled out to Frankston in February. “We’re not a security firm… we’re positive role models to try to initiate positive change with youths who may be on the wrong track,” Mr Smith said. “Our presence at the festival in hi-vis yellow vests played a part in ensuring it was enjoyable for all.” Mr Smith, a Corrections Victoria officer when not volunteering his time

for Victoria Maori Wardens, said wardens tried to “intervene before it’s too late” to help troubled youths. It’s an aim shared by New Civilizations Builders founder Andrew Gason. The 36-year-old Samoan was no stranger to trouble himself when younger as “one of these kids on the street” before deciding to “turn my life around”. Mr Gason spent time in jail for burglaries and at one point became involved in global weapons smuggling. Upon his release in 1998 he decided to try to persuade others to avoid the path he took by using some of the money he earned from setting up legitimate property and construction businesses to fund New Civilizations Builders. The organisation works with community groups and individuals to teach financial self-reliance to not rely on social welfare programs or government funding or grants. New Civilizations Builders volunteers were some of the “20 or so” Victoria Maori Wardens on patrol at the Frankston Christmas Festival of Lights. “We help to be ‘peacekeepers’ because the kids don’t see us as being an authority,” Mr Gason said. Mr Smith said Victoria Maori Wardens has 70 members with “about 45 active members”. See maoriwardens.com.au for details about the wardens’ work and how to volunteer.

Festival success: Massive crowds flocked to last weekend’s Frankston Christmas Festival of Lights on Saturday 29 November. Victoria Maori Wardens helped Frankston police keep an eye on crowd safety during the event this year. Elders worked with police to help the event stay trouble free. Festival picture: Gary Sissons

Low flying plane ‘too close for comfort’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A NEAR-miss between a light plane attempting to land at Tyabb airfield and a car on the Mornington-Tyabb Rd is being investigated by Peninsula Aero Club. The incident on Saturday night last week was witnessed by a family in the car immediately behind. Speaking on radio 3AW, a caller who identified herself as Dawn Baker, said she and her husband, Ken, and son, Jimmy, watched in amazement as the descending aircraft narrowly missed the roof of the car in front. Aero club president Peter Bernardi said the incident – recorded on CCTV – was being investigated by the club and that the pilot - if found - would be counselled. The footage has been sent to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. “He came in a bit too close for comfort – about a metre and half above the car – which is far too low considering there’s a tonne of runway for him to use,” Mr Bernardi said on Friday. He said the plane – a single-engine Texan – was not kept at the airfield. “We don’t know his name or where he is. We have his colours and we saw where he taxied to but he has since left.” If found, Mr Bernardi said the pilot would be spoken to and given a showcause notice and, “if we don’t think the message has got through, we’ll get an instructor to go up with him and assess him”. “Most pilots don’t do it more than

once.” Mrs Baker was reported as saying the car in front swerved to miss the aircraft as it approached the airfield runway about 7pm. "This plane came in and, honestly, it was so close," she told 3AW. "I think if the car in front hadn't taken evasive action I'm sure it would have been a little bit more disastrous." Mrs Baker said her son was also forced to slam on the brakes as the

plane passed “about an inch” above the car’s roof. "It was very close," she said. Mr Bernardi dismissed earlier reports that there was no surveillance footage of the incident. He said the club had been looking at the wrong day’s footage. Later searches had proven more fruitful. However, despite the media reports, he said the incident had not been re-

ported to airfield authorities by the families involved. CASA spokesman Peter Gibson also said no personal reports had been made of the incident. “We heard of it through the media,” he said. “We understand the driver and family behind got a fright but no one has contacted us. We’d like them to. Concerns about pilot error over

Mornington-Tyabb Rd have increased since the opening of Peninsula Link. VicRoads has designated it as a recommended route for fuel trucks travelling between Long Island and Peninsula Link. “Can you imagine the scene if one of those B-doubles full of petrol was in the way of an errant pilot?” one person who contacted The Times asked.

Police ‘Raid’ drunk drivers POLICE are conducting major traffic blitzes on the Mornington Peninsula. Operation Raid focuses on removing all impaired drivers from the roads. “Our culture now recognises drink drivers as bloody idiots - but sadly we still have a few of them on our roads,” Inspector Karen Nyholm said. “Tragic deaths and serious injury are only a moment away when you are driving a vehicle. What gives anyone the right to endanger my family or your family?” Frankston Highway Patrol intercepted two motorists on the peninsula on Monday 24 November who returned alcohol readings of 0.173 per cent and 0.152 per cent.

Sgt Barry Judge, of the Rosebud Highway Patrol, said the first-offence drivers would lose their licences for 17 and 15 months respectively. “This will impact their employment, their families and, potentially, impact their lives in a direction that is hard to come back from - all over one night’s drinking.” Police will continue their focus on speed, drink driving and other impairment behaviours, such as drug use and fatigue. Operation Suer Stay focuses on offending drivers and, with this year's road toll sitting at 237 - 22 more than last year, police will continue the enforcement with a hope that the message will get through and keep everyone safe at Christmas.

Smash, grab thief sought DETECTIVES are searching for a man who threw a concrete block through the window of a café in Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs, at about 2:35am on Sunday 28 September and stole a quantity of energy drinks. The man drove to the cafe in what is believed to be a station wagon. Detective Senior Constable James Keegan, of Frankston Crime Investigation Unit, said the man depicted in the CCTV images could assist with his inquiries. Anyone with information should call 9784 5519 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Health back-up for police FUNDING from Medicare Local has helped police and Peninsula Health extend their partnership by establishing a second Pacer unit on the peninsula. Inspector Karen Nyholm said the Police Ambulance Crisis Emergency Response mobile unit provided support to police dealing with those who are mentally ill. “Combing the resource and experience of a police member with a mental health clinician improves our ability to respond to a person needing

medical treatment,” she said. “This multi-agency approach to the treatment of mentally ill patients has been trialled across the state with incredible success.” She said the Peninsula Health clinicians had been a valuable resource for frontline police and that the outcomes for the community were lifechanging. The second Pacer unit will work out of the Rosebud police complex responding to incidents across the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston.

Show time: Jasmine Dennison represented Australia in equestrian events in Taiwan.

Show jumping world is Jasmine’s oyster TOORAK College’s Jasmine Dennison, of Mt Eliza, takes a global perspective when it comes to equestrian events. The year 9 student represented Australia in the Children’s Challenge in Taiwan last month and, next month, will do the same again at the World Junior Jumping Championships in Mexico. “I enjoyed the chance to represent Australia at the Taiwan CSIJ-B event,” Jasmine said. “Overall, 13 countries were represented, including Iran and Mongolia.” It's been a big year for the 14-year-old who was recently crowned the Australian Junior Show Jumping champion. “The whole experience was amazing, and, while the jumping was challenging on Bluedancer, the horse I drew in the pool, it was a fantastic event.” Jasmine and her group enjoyed the company of the Taiwanese guide assigned to look after them and show them the city’s sights outside of the riding program. “The organisers made sure we had both a wonderful cultural experience and a great riding opportunity,” she said. “I loved trying all the local foods and doing such activities as exploring

the Taipei night markets. “I am trying to decide whether my favourite food adventure was grilled whole squid on a stick or the spicy red local tofu!” Hannover Equestrian Centre is in the centre of the capital, Taipei, a far cry from the open, grassy facilities that we are lucky to have here, Jasmine said. The courses were the handiwork of the renowned Olaf Peterson, who has designed courses for two Olympics, five World Cup finals, a World Equestrian Games and more than 100 Nations’ Cups. “The FEI stewards were particularly serious about keeping us all in line, however, after the three days, everyone had become good friends and we were making plans to stay in touch. “The riders were excellent and we all enjoyed trying to get to know our borrowed horses together. “It was certainly a great feeling to be wearing the Australian uniform and it is something I won’t ever forget.” Jasmine travelled with chef d’equipe Annie White “who was wonderful and did a great job helping me to get the best out of Bluedancer”.

‘Woodsy’ basks in team’s glory SPORTING clubs are built on solid foundations when they have members like John Woods. The Mt Eliza cricketer last week played his 500th consecutive game over 36 years for the club against Tyabb in the MPCA. But, of course, it’s not just on the sporting field that members make their mark. Club president Mark Curwood said an informal audit had calculated that Woods, 75, had personally raised more than $40,000 for the club, as well as being a leading player in countless fundraisers, horse-racing syndicates and raffles during his injury-free playing career. On top of all that, “Woodsy”, as he is affectionately known, also cleaned the clubrooms on Sunday mornings after matches for 15 years. These are the solid foundations every club dreams about. The point is not lost on Curwood: “Woodsy is one of those guys every club wishes they had. He’s a terrific guy. “These days the younger players are just not as dedicated, but he’s captained teams, he organises the ins and outs, plays wherever he’s needed - he does everything asked of him.” Typically, ‘Woodsy’ downplayed his remarkable games record, preferring to talk up Tyabb Cricket Club’s generosity in obligingly agreeing to transfer their scheduled home game to Mt Eliza so his milestone could be celebrated on his own turf. Casting his mind back – and then further back - to the 1978-79 cricket season, Woodsy said he was drawn

to Mt Eliza when his then 12-year-old son, Tim, began playing juniors. He liked the place immediately and never looked back. Highlights have been “few and far between” he admitted modestly, before mentioning a “couple on tons” and, of course, playing in two winning grand finals - 1982-3 and 2009-10. The first holds extra special memories as he played alongside Tim in D-Grade, while the second was in C2 Grade.

Nowadays he prefers to play every second week, or only when an up-andcoming youngster is unavailable. “It would be unfair of me after such a long innings to get in the way of someone with a bright future,” he said. Tributes flowed at Sunday’s milestone game. ‘Woodsy’ ran through a club banner to the cheers of his team mates and even had the honour of moving up the batting order – from No 11 to No 9 when the eighth wicket

fell - to give him some show time at the crease. “It was a cameo appearance,” he quipped. “I hung around for a while and made three not out.” But the highlight of the day, in his eyes, was not his remarkable achievement but that his team won, reversing a poor result against Tyabb in the previous match. That’s “Woody’s” style - and it’s what being a “solid foundation” is all about.

Leaders show their faith with talk of peace A CONFERENCE in Langwarrin involving representatives of six major religions is being hailed as “the first of its kind”. More than 300 people from all over Victoria attended The Conference of World Religions 2014 held by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria at its Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque. Leaders from the Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Hindi, Sikh and Buddhist faiths spoke about the application of peace and social harmony through the teachings of their religions. The mosque’s leader, Imam Wadood Janud, spoke about Islam’s “true and peaceful teachings”. Dr Rev. Alaxander Yule represented Christianity; Rabbi Ralph Genende, Judaism; Hojun Futen, Buddhism; Jasbir Sigh, Sikhism; and Bhakta Dasa, Hinduism. The conference was moderated by Norman Currie, director and producer of Channel 31. “The conference was a great success and it brought various communities and world’s major religions and their followers under one roof and, more importantly, everyone who came on the podium agreed that their respective religion spreads peace and harmony in the society,” Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Victoria spokesman Aziz Bhatti said. He said members of the Ahmadiyya community were “working hard for the cause of peace and love for all, hatred for none”. “This message is more important and more crucial for world peace than it has ever been.” Guests at the conference included were Members of Parliament, a mayor, councillors, an assistant police commissioner and police, government officials, members of an interfaith network and academics. National president of the Ahmadiyya community Imam Inam-ul Haq Kausar emphasised the need for “mutual understanding and respect between the followers of different faiths in order to achieve peace and harmony in today’s world”.

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 are 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

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

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

In brief

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.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

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.

Field Of Dreams Gallery Cafe and Nanna D’s WHEN great minds with a passion for food and art put their heads together, the results are outstanding and we are lucky enough to have such a creative concept in our own Frankston with the Field of Dreams Gallery Cafe and Nanna D’s. Wendy Webb, owner of Field of Dreams Gallery Café, spotted a vacant shop when walking along Beach Street with her husband 15 months ago. “The next thing we were working in the café getting ready to open. I hang local artist work in the café that change on a monthly time frame,” says Wendy who had previ-

ously worked as a payroll manager. “We do catering and take bookings and most of our food is made on the premises.” The dream has continued for another local lady, Di Thurley, who after retiring, decided she wanted to open a pop up shop for items she had collected over the years. “The opportunity arose when Wendy suggested using the warehouse at the rear of her premises corner of Royle and Beach Streets Frankston – one dream led to another and within four weeks Nanna D’s was in business,” says Di, whose love of antiques, old wares

and anything collectable had created a real storage problem. “I have always loved old and vintage wares, particularly the fact that they have lasted the test of time, are beautifully made and have their own history. The principle of Upcycling makes sense and presents the opportunity for others to enjoy and perhaps reinvent beautiful old furniture, clothing and bric-a-brac.” Nanna D’s has now been open for 12 weeks and Di is enjoying the challenge, meeting lots of interesting people who also embrace the pre-loved concept and many who share her love of old wares – which,

she said, makes it a bit easier to part with some of her more favourite pieces. Field of Dreams Gallery Café and Nanna D’s offers an opportunity to experience a unique and interesting shopping and dining experience, located at 135 Beach Street, Frankston. Phone 8772 2752. Field of Dreams is open seven days a week, weekdays from 7am till 4pm, Saturday 9am till 4pm and Sunday 9am till 3pm. Nanna D’s is open Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm.

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 36

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

Frankston Times 8 December 2014

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

HOODOO GURUS SET FOR A RED HOT 2015 Next year is set to be a big year for Australian rockers the Hoodoo Gurus, with the band planning on releasing a new album and also coming to Mornington as part of the Red Hot Summer tour on January 11. The Hoodoo Gurus released their first album in 1984 after the success of their first single Leilani in 1982. They’ve followed this up with eight other studio albums, most recently Purity of Essence in 2010 and a greatest hits album Gold Watch: 20 Golden Greats in 2012. PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to Hoodoo Gurus frontman Dave Faulkner about the journey and longevity of the Gurus. PEARL: It’s been 32 years since Hoodoo Gurus released their first single. Did you ever think you’d be enjoying such success and still touring after all this time? FAULKNER: No we really were working from record to record and before you know it years later we’re still doing it. There’s been a lot of luck and a lot of hard work along the way. PEARL: The Hoodoo Gurus had a break for four years before reforming. What was the turning point for getting back together? FAULKNER: When we played at Homebake in 2001, it was four years after we broke up and that was the gig that led to us reforming. When we played together again after four years apart it was amazing to witness the energy, it was the same spirit and connection and that was a real eye opener for me. PEARL: You’re coming to Mornington to perform in January, what can fans look forward to about your show? FAULKNER: Mostly a pretty high rolling night of rock and roll fun! I’m pretty excited! We’re pretty much known for

THE GRAND HOTEL SPORTS BAR

PH 5975 2001

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

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

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.

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.

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.
