n o t g n i n r Exhibition Mo ART The The h

Presented by the Rotary Club of Mornington

Artist with diverse skills, scenes WORKS by Ian Johnston are a feature at this year’s Mornington Art Exhibition. A retired Uniting Church minister, Johnston has displayed his artistic talent in the use of a wide range of media. He is a skilled cartoon and puppetry illustrator and has been commissioned as a glass artist with his works mounted in sculptured steel framing for several Uniting churches . However, for the past 30 years he has made water colour painting his preferred medium. He considers water colour to be the medium that relies most heavily on drawing skills and regards it as an extension of drawing . Johnston has been guest artist at several other Victorian art shows and in 2013 was chosen for the best water colour award at the Mornington exhibition. His paintings were popular with buyers at last year’s exhibition and one of his works – Incarnations - is displayed at the Centre for Theology and Ministry, Parkville. This year’s exhibition run by Mornington Rotary will include a range of Johnston’s work of scenes from within Australia and overseas. Such works as Boat Yard Battery Point, Late Afternoon Camberwell Station, and In Time and Eternity (displayed on the exhibition’s publicity poster) illustrate his diversity. Exhibition director Alan Harwood believes Johnston’s work will be well received by those attending the 18-27 January exhibition at the Peninsula Community Theater, Wilson Rd, Mornington. “I am confident that on our gala opening night on Friday 17 January many of Ian’s paintings will snapped up by those in attendance,� Mr Harwood said. Now in its 42nd year, the Mornington Art Exhibition will raise money for Mornington Rotary to finance its local and humanitarian projects.

Sailing success By Mike Hast THE week-long Optimist sailing regatta that finished in Mornington on Saturday generated massive goodwill for Mornington Yacht Club and generated more than $1 million for the peninsula, says club commodore Greg Martin. The 2014 International Optimist Australian and Open Championships saw the biggest single fleet regatta ever held in the southern hemisphere with 344 little yachts as well as 108 support vessels. The previous record was 295 Laser yachts at Lake Macquarie in NSW. Mr Martin said the event went off without a hitch apart from two and a half days lost to wild winds generated by the cyclone off Western Australia. The sailors aged under 15 from Australia and overseas competed on a scheduled rest day and extra races were held on two other days to make up lost time. He said more than 750 people attended the opening ceremony, including Mornington MP David Morris, shire mayor Antonella Celi and local councillor Bev Colomb. Race director Chris Jackson said the event had received wide praise from overseas yachting experts who had accompanied their junior teams. “Visitors from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Hong Kong and New Zealand said it was the best organised regatta they had attended,” he said. Mr Jackson, who competed in 470s and Etchells for Australia, said more than 13,000 hours of work had been done by volunteers, some of whom walked in off the street and offered to help the club. “It has been an amazing event and belies the image that yachting is an elitist sport,” he said.

An innovation made by the yacht club was introducing an intermediate fleet to go with the usual “open” and “green”, or beginner, fleets. Juniors in the open fleet jostled for victory off Fishermans Beach while the intermediate fleet competed off the pier, and the green fleet sailed off Mills Beach. “Not all kids aspire to be international or Olympic sailors,” Mr Jackson said. “The most important thing is to give kids an outlet for healthy, active sport.” Greg Martin said the regatta had been a phenomenal success for the club. “This was 18 months in the planning and I’m very proud of a fantastic team that comes from a club with 700 members,” he said. Mr Martin said a former commodore of the biggest yacht club on Port Phillip told him his club could not have pulled it off. “A member of the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club said it was the most enjoyable regatta he had attended. “Seven former Mornington club commodores helped during the event.” Otto Henry, 12, of Middle Harbour Yacht Club in NSW won the open division, defeating two Kiwis, Lewis Anderson and Craig Keenan. Best of the peninsula sailors was Nicholas Joel (20th) and Steven Case (22nd) both of Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club. In the intermediate section, Emma Lidgett, 12, of Daveys Bay Yacht Club finished third, and Jasmine Evenden, also 12, of Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club was fourth. Denver James of Mornington Yacht Club came 15th.

Gell to step down from biosphere By Keith Platt THE chairman of Western Port Biosphere, Rob Gell, will step down from the position he has held for the past 10 years in mid-2014. His departure will coincide with a “completely revised” constitution and, he hopes, a more skills-based board. Mr Gell told the biosphere board that “it’s time for me to go and you’ve got six months to find someone else”. “I think that’s fine after 10 years as a volunteer,” he told The News. While his business partners in his World Wind business had been “extraordinarily generous” in accepting the time he spent on biosphere business, “including some difficult things behind the scenes”, Mr Gell said two or three “big projects” needed his attention. Mr Gell, a former television weatherman and documentary maker, describes himself as an environmental entrepreneur. He said the new constitution was likely to eliminate or downgrade the community roundtables or “regionally based forums that enable members and stakeholders to meet and deliver the biosphere foundation’s mission at a local level”. Mr Gell estimated that “only one and a half” of the six roundtables were viable. “They’ve not worked; the community doesn’t drive itself.” Despite this failure and the biosphere’s low public profile, Mr Gell believes it is “in its strongest position ever”, but wants its five local

government partners – Mornington Peninsula, Frankston, Casey, Cardinia and Bass Coast – “to talk about their biosphere objectives; it’s their project”. Although Frankston City had decided against financing the

biosphere in its current budget, “they should be asking what they can do for it, not what it can do for them”. Mr Gell said the biosphere belonged to local government and Frankston did not have an option of “walking away”. “They need to understand what their

responsibility is,” he said, adding that it should not be necessary to “always educate Frankston councillors”. “They don’t get it; it’s their project. They don’t get to buy in or out.” Mr Gell said Bass Coast had “also not always paid in the past”, and although he believed Frankston’s CEO Dennis Hovenden was “in favour” of the biosphere, “I’ve got to say there’s a way to go in convincing the council”. “They’re not contributing dollars or nominating anyone to sit on the board but it’s their constitutional responsibility,” he said. Conversely, Mornington Peninsula Shire was contributing $40,000 to the biosphere – double what was requested of Frankston – and its CEO, Michael Kennedy, remained “unequivocally supportive”. He cited the shire’s Best Bites campaign as the type of cooperation that should be entered into between the biosphere and member councils. Mr Gell said the biosphere was responsible for securing $2.7 million of government grants for several projects that would otherwise not have come to the region. He said “it might be a good thing” for the next chairman to live in the area. He cited the Noosa Biosphere in Queensland as a success, with Sunshine Coast Council putting it in charge of its tourism program. The Western Port Biosphere’s dealings with five separate local governments were more tricky, he said.

Hospital appeal nears target ROSEBUD Hospital is set to buy a CT scanner and establish a new medical imaging area. The major addition to services is close to being realised as the hospital nears its $1.75 million appeal target with a pledged $300,000 due this year. The money from an anonymous donor is the second instalment of $550,000 from a private trust. “This amazing commitment means we are one step closer to seeing the new medical imaging area at Rosebud Hospital become a reality,” the hospital’s executive director Jan Child said. “The new medical imaging area will be a major addition to the excellent emergency services we provide and, importantly, it will allow more people to be treated more quickly and closer to home. “We are now extremely close to our appeal goal and hope to raise the remaining $150,000 early this year so that we can start work on the new medical imaging area.” The computed tomography (CT) scanner uses X-rays and digital computer technology to create crosssection images of a patient. Sections of the body are seen as an X-ray “slice” and the scanner uses multiple slices from one examination to build a three-dimensional picture of organs and body structures. “The CT scans are used to diagnose and monitor a variety of different conditions including brain tumours and strokes, diseases of the blood vessels and to identify the injuries caused by trauma such as road traffic accidents,” Ms Child said. To donate to the appeal call 9788 1502.

Hastings man first new year road fatality By Chris Brennan AN elderly Hastings man became the state’s first road fatality for 2014 following a crash on Frankston-Flinders Rd on 2 January. The 85-year-old man died when the Ford sedan he was driving hit the median strip and flipped onto its roof near Hodgins Rd about 3.45pm. Witnesses said the man had just left a mower repair shop on FrankstonFlinders Rd and reversed out of a parking spot before the car suddenly accelerated forward and became airborne after hitting the median strip. Frankston-Flinders Rd was closed to traffic between Hodgins Rd and Cool Store Rd for the rest of the afternoon following the crash. The man’s death took the Christmas holiday road toll in Victoria to five, down from nine for the same period a year earlier. Victoria Police’s official Christmas holiday period, which began at 12.01am on 23 December, concluded at midnight on 3 January. Assistant Commissioner for road policing Robert Hill said that, although it was encouraging to see a significant reduction in the overall road toll, five lives lost during the Christmas period was still concerning. “Every death on our roads is a tragedy and something we believe is avoidable,� Assistant Commissioner Hill said. The final stage of Victoria Police’s Summer Stay road enforcement campaign also concluded last week, with Operation Fresh Start winding up on 6 January.

Link chaos: A 21-year-old P-plate driver towing a caravan narrowly escaped serious injury after losing control of his vehicle on Peninsula Link at Moorooduc about 6.30am on 6 December. The Dandenong North man’s Holden Rodeo veered off the road and up an embankment before jack-knifing into an overpass bridge about 100 metres north of Mornington-Tyabb Rd. Emergency service crews called in a crane to remove the caravan. The freeway was closed to traffic, causing major delays throughout the day. Picture: Gary Sissons

More than one million road users were breath tested and 7206 drivers drug tested over the course of the 52day campaign, during which time police impounded 475 vehicles and detected 2371 drink drivers and 723 drug affected drivers. Police also issued 27,467 speeding notices and detected 1974 disqualified and suspended drivers, 7526 unregistered vehicles, 3378 seatbelt offences and 5458 mobile phone offences. Road Policing Command Superintendent Neville Taylor said that while it was encouraging to see a reduction in the number of drink-driving of-

research shows that your risk of being involved in a collision doubles for every 5km/h over the speed limit you are in a 60km/h zone. “Speeding reduces the time drivers have to avoid crashes, their ability to control their vehicle and lengthens the time it takes to stop. We need to change the culture where people think it’s acceptable to speed and to engage in other risky behaviour on our roads.� Superintendent Taylor said while he was encouraged by a drop in drinkdriving offences, the numbers were still far too high. “Speed, impairment and distraction

are among the biggest killers on our roads. The fact that there has been a reduction in drink driving detected shows the message is starting to sink in, but there is still more work to be done to make the roads safer for everyone.� Superintendent Taylor said everyone in the community had a role to play in reducing road trauma. “What we want to see is more responsibility, not only from drivers themselves but also from their passengers, family, friends and colleagues – if you know someone’s had too much to drink, don’t let them get behind the wheel.�

Police hunt armed bandit By Chris Brennan POLICE are hunting a man following the armed robbery of a milk bar in Mornington. Detectives from the Mornington crime investigation unit said a man armed with a knife entered the shop in Wilsons Rd about 2.30pm on Saturday 28 December. He approached a female staff member at the counter, pointed the knife at her and demanded she hand over the contents of the till. However, a number of other staff members heard the commotion and turned on the offender, hitting him with a golf club and throwing a screw driver at him. The bandit was forced out of the shop but managed to grab a small amount of cash from the till before fleeing on foot. Police said none of the staff members were injured during the incident. The offender is described as being aged in his early to mid 20s, about 177cm tall and thin to medium build. He was wearing a grey hooded jumper, blue or grey tracksuit pants, a beanie and black sunglasses. Police have released security vision of the alleged offender, right, and have appealed to any witnesses and members of the public who may be able to help identity the man to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au  TWO men have been arrested and charged over an alleged serious assault in Mornington that left two men in hospital late last year. Mornington detectives charged a 20-year-old man of Dromana with

recklessly causing serious injury and assault in company two days after the alleged assault on 22 December. He was released on bail and ordered to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 3 March. A 21-year-old Balnarring man was also questioned and will be charged on summons over the alleged attack of the two men on Main St. Two men from Frankston South were taken to hospital – one of them requiring surgery for serious facial injuries – after they were allegedly bashed near a late-night venue about 4.30am. Police have appealed for witnesses to the attack to come forward to help identify the alleged perpetrators and released an image of a man they believed could help with their enquiries.  A 26-YEAR-old McCrae man has been arrested and charged by sexual crimes squad detectives two days after an alleged sexual assault in Shoreham. A 28-year-old Argentinian woman who had been working on the Mornington Peninsula as a nanny was allegedly attacked by a man who picked her up as she waited for a bus on the Point Nepean Rd on 29 December. A man was identified and later questioned by police on 31 December after an identikit image of the alleged offender and description of the car reportedly driven during the attack were widely circulated on social media websites. Detectives of the Frankston sexual crimes squad unit charged the man later that day with assault with intent to rape. He has been remanded in custody

to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on a date to be fixed. The woman, who has since left Australia due to the ordeal, told police she accepted a lift to the train station from a man driving a gold-coloured ute about 12.30pm.  A CAR was repeatedly rammed by another vehicle during an apparent road rage incident at Rosebud shortly after midnight on new year’s day. A white 1995 Ford sedan overtook three vehicles on Browns Rd about 12.20am while travelling from Fingal

y t i l i b a Sustainvities acti

to Rosebud then swerved into the path of the oncoming vehicles on Jetty Rd. The driver repeatedly rammed into one of the vehicles before driving off at high speed. Police are hoping to speak to the occupants of the other two vehicles, which have been described as a late model grey Ford Falcon station wagon and a late model black hatchback, possibly a Ford Focus or Hyundai i30. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

MEN and women are being asked to roll up their sleeves over the coming long weekend and give blood to help save the lives of fellow Australians. Doug Allen of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service is concerned that “as Aussies take a break with their mates, fewer donations will lead to a drop in blood supplies”. He said the need for blood never takes a break and has urged residents of the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston to celebrate Australia Day by donating blood before, during or immediately after the long weekend. “Australia Day is a time for us to celebrate what’s great about being Australian, and there is no better way to be a true blue Aussie than to save a life, or three,” Mr Allen said. “The Frankston-based donor centre needs 76 people to donate over the long weekend to ensure cancer patients, road trauma victims, burns victims and unborn babies get the blood products they need. “Blood donation only takes an hour out of your day, leaving plenty of time for a traditional Aussie Day barbie with your mates.” Mr Allen said at least one in every three Australians was likely to need blood in their lifetime. “One day it might be your mate, your neighbour or your family member who needs blood,” he said. To make an appointment to give blood call 13 14 95 or visit donateblood.com.au The Frankston Donor Centre, 20 Davey St, Frankston, will be open 8.30am-3.30pm Saturday 25 January and Monday 27 January.

On course: Classic vehicles will be on display along with market stalls and children’s entertainment for Sunday’s RACV Great Australian Rally at Mornington Racecourse.

Rallying on course for a cause MORE than 700 vehicles from an earlier era will be at Mornington Racecourse on Sunday. The RACV Great Australian Rally, a major classic vehicle event hosted by the All British Classic Car Club, allows spectators to get close to the cars as well as speak to the owners who are always eager to share their knowledge.

Market stalls and children’s entertainment will be run alongside the vehicle display. The major sponsor, the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria, is supported by the Mornington Peninsula News Group (publisher of The News) in its efforts to raise money for research at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Last year’s rally raised $62,000. Participants start from St Kilda Rd, Melbourne, Stud Park shopping centre in Rowville, and Western Port Marina in Hastings, and after a tour of the peninsula arrive at the racecourse at 10am when the gates will open to the public. For details about “Rallying for a Cure” look up www. greataustralianrally.com.au

Tourism delivers for our economy By Chris Brennan TOURISM has been confirmed as the Mornington Peninsula’s most valuable business sector, contributing more than $1 billion toward the region’s economy. Research by Tourism Victoria and Deloitte Access Economics shows tourism was worth $1.01 billion a year, accounting for 11.3 per of the peninsula’s economy, which is valued at about $10 billion, and provided employment for 10,700 people. Researchers aimed to highlight the economic impact of tourism on regional centres and provide estimates of the direct and indirect contributionmade by tourism in Victoria’s 11 tourism regions. The study showed tourism contributed $10.9 billion to regional

Victoria and generated 109,000 jobs directly and indirectly during 2011-12. Tourism Minister Louise Asher said the results highlighted the importance of tourism to the economic vitality of the state’s regional centres. “Regional Victoria has a greater reliance on the tourism sector than Melbourne, contributing 13.9 per cent of regional Victoria’s total gross regional product,” she said. “As a labour intensive industry, tourism also contributes significantly to regional development through employment generation, contributing 12.8 per cent of total regional employment, with more people employed in tourism in regional Victoria than in Melbourne.” Mornington Peninsula Shire’s economic development manager

Shane Murphy said that while the region had a more diversified economy than many other regional centres, tourism remained its largest sector. The shire’s own research showed tourism continued to experience solid growth although some operators had struggled. “The recent Health of Tourism report shows employment has grown 1 per cent in the sector over the past 12 months and that 65 per cent of businesses saw an increase in business revenue, while 21 per cent reported a decline in income,” Mr Murphy said. “The Mornington Peninsula is continuing to grow and invest in tourism to keep the region vibrant and viable.” He said the region’s most popular attractions included Peninsula Hot

Springs, Enchanted Adventure Garden, Ashcombe Maze, and Sunnyridge Strawberry Farm as well as “our friendly villages, beaches, wineries, micro breweries and golf courses”. “In regards to new tourism destinations, on the horizon is the Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift, redevelopment of RACV Cape Schanck Resort and the Barragunda brewery at Cape Schanck.” The Tourism Victoria and Deloitte Access Economics report showed the regions with the greatest reliance on tourism were:  Phillip Island, with tourism contributing $619 million to the local economy (39 per cent of gross regional product) and generating about 5000 jobs.  Daylesford and Macedon Ranges,

$804 million (36.4 per cent) and 7200 jobs.  Victoria’s High Country, $806 million (24.6 per cent) and 8500 jobs.  Grampians, $949 million (22.2 per cent) and 8300 jobs.  Murray, $1.67 billion (13.1 per cent) and 15,900 jobs.  Great Ocean Road, $1.83 billion (11.1 per cent) 20,000 jobs.  Gippsland, $1.05 billion (10.5 per cent) and 10,700 jobs.  Goldfields, $1.12 billion (10.1 per cent) and 12,500 jobs.  Mornington Peninsula, $1.01 billion (11.3 per cent) and 10,700 jobs.  Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, $1.01 billion (13.4 per cent) and 10,400 jobs.

Plover breeding shaping as ‘worst for a decade’ By Mike Hast THE hooded plover breeding season on Mornington Peninsula National Park beaches is shaping up as the worst in the past decade, says conservationist Malcolm Brown. By Friday last week, 21 of the critically endangered birds had hatched but all had died. Mr Brown, a member of Friends of the Hooded Plover, said at the halfway mark of the breeding season, there had been 33 nesting attempts, 85 eggs laid and 21 chicks hatched.

“Sadly, this is expected on the Mornington Peninsula,” Mr Brown said. “For a number of years, more than 90 per cent of breeding attempts in the national park have failed. During the 2011-12 breeding season, there were 137 eggs laid with only three chicks surviving, a failure rate of 98 per cent.” He said this was in contrast to Phillip Island where a number of the rare birds had reached the flying, or fledgling, stage, which increased their chance of survival. “Hooded plovers mostly nest on ocean beaches and one of the biggest

known threats to chicks is domestic dogs,” he said. “Dog walkers frequently allow their dogs to roam off lead on beaches, which can directly or indirectly cause the death of chicks.” Mr Brown said Parks Victoria had spent the past three years and thousands of dollars reviewing dog walking in Mornington Peninsula National Park but “unfortunately for hooded plovers, dogs are still allowed in the national park and, more importantly, on beaches where hooded plovers nest”. He said there were fewer than 600

SPORTINGBET

hooded plovers left in Victoria. Dogs were one threat that could be controlled but Parks Victoria was not doing enough to keep dogs off plover breeding beaches. Breeding adults have to contend with dogs, humans, foxes, silver gulls, ravens and kestrels as well as high tides and storms. Grainne Maguire of BirdLife Australia said plovers laid about 150 eggs each season on peninsula beaches. Last year nine birds fledged but just five made it to the end of the season. About 90 per cent of chicks are killed in the

first 15 days of life. Plovers incubated eggs for 30 days before hatching and tt took about five weeks for chicks to reach the flying stage. Dr Maguire said the peninsula’s national park had the second-highest density of plovers in Australia and was critical to the species’ survival. “Unfortunately, it also has the poorest chick survival record of any area in Victoria. There is no doubt off-leash dogs are a key reason for this failure.” She said dogs were just following natural instincts – “owners need to be responsible”.

Mornington News 14 January 2014

By Mike Hast A COMPLAINT has been lodged with state government authorities about the conduct of Briars Ward councillor Andrew Dixon after Mornington Peninsula Shire decided his behaviour did not breach its councillor code of conduct. The complaint has been sent by journalist David Harrison to the Ombudsman, the Local Government Inspectorate and Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell. It is about an article posted on Cr Dixon’s blog site, “Sex, Drugs & Politics”, in early November. An accompanying complaint has been made about the shire’s response. The Dixon blog, entitled “Bullshit!”, criticises an article by Mr Harrison, a Mornington Peninsula News Group (MPNG) contributor. Mr Harrison argued that Cr Antonella Celi should be voted in as the shire’s new mayor. Cr Celi was elected mayor several weeks later, on 25 November. Cr Dixon started his blog by attacking MPNG, publisher of five regional papers including Mornington News, Southern Peninsula News and Western Port News. Cr Dixon claimed MPNG “authors (hard to call them journalists) ... build an epic and fanciful – and false – narrative around inside or confidential information” received from “well placed friends”. He stated Mr Harrison’s article contained numerous falsehoods, including that shire councillors were divided into factions. None would describe themselves as conservative, Cr Dixon stated, as Mr Harrison had claimed some were. Cr Dixon described himself as a “libertarian”, as “about 30 seconds on this website will tell you”. Cr Dixon described Mr Harrison as a “hypocrite”, and claimed he “calls enforcement officers to building sites multiple times per project”. A statement that Cr Frank Martin was not regarded as high profile was “likely false”, Cr Dixon stated. He then described Mr Harrison in language this newspaper will not print, following up this claim by describing him three times as “stupid”. In closing his critique of Mr Harrison’s article Cr Dixon wrote: “How does it feel to play the fool for once, David? Get your sh*t straight or get another vocation – you’re nothing more than a nuisance and the furthest thing from a journalist I’ve ever seen. And I’m only 26.”

Cr Dixon added a PS, firing another shot at MPNG: “If ever there was an indicator that local print media is dead ... this is it.” The shire’s code of conduct requires councillors to “always act with integrity and honesty” and not “cause or attempt to cause detriment to ... another person”. A state government “practice note” dealing with the code is far stronger. It states: “It is a primary principle ... that, in performing the role of a councillor, a councillor must act with integrity ... and act in a way that secures and preserves public confidence in the office of councillor.” Under the heading “General principles”, councillors are advised to:  Avoid conflicts between their public duties and their personal interests and obligations;  Act honestly and avoid statements or actions likely to mislead or deceive;  Treat everyone with respect and “have due regard to the opinions, beliefs, rights and responsibilities of other councillors, council officers and other persons”;  “Act lawfully and in accordance with the trust placed in him or her as an elected representative.” Cr Celi, in her official response to Mr Harrison – mayors deal with such complaints – said she found it “very surprising that you would come forward with such an allegation towards Cr Dixon”. “If you don’t mind. May I ask what it is about the article that you seem to find offensive? And why?” she wrote. Shire CEO Michael Kennedy was anxious to distance the shire from the complaint, stating that the matter was “Cr Dixon’s problem, not ours [the shire’s]”. Mr Harrison asked for the matter be resolved quickly, with a public apology from Cr Dixon at a council meeting and in media before Christmas. The shire response was not sent until 19 December, after the last suitable meeting date had passed. In the shire’s response, governance manager Noel Buck, who has since retired, wrote that his investigations “have determined that your concerns relate to a personal matter between yourself and Cr Dixon”. “Cr Dixon has indicated that he intends to write to you privately,” Mr Buck concluded, adding: “I trust the above is satisfactory.” Mr Harrison said he had not yet received a letter from Cr Dixon, but noted the blog was still on Cr Dixon’s website, “giving a clue to Cr Dixon’s attitude to my complaint”. But the matter, now out of shire hands and in those of experienced and objective professionals, could receive serious examination, Mr Harrison said. “Cr Dixon seems to have a fair grasp of robust undergraduate polemic, which is understandable in one so young,” he said. “But he has in this episode displayed little familiarity with the requirements of debate, not even the need to refute statements rather than simply claim them to be false. To brand something as false is not to disprove it. “Puerile and reckless abuse is not a substitute for serious debate and falls well short of the behaviour expected of councillors under even the shire’s conduct code.” Mr Harrison said if investigators ruled in Cr Dixon’s favour, “it will be the death knell for important restraints on councillor behaviour across Victoria. Town halls will indeed become clown halls if insults and defamatory remarks are allowed to become the norm”. Mr Harrison has been a journalist since 1965, working mainly in metropolitan newspapers and magazines, including holding senior positions at The Age. He is a regular contributor to MPNG, much of it analysis of the shire’s performance.

Beach days a Portsea tradition HUNDREDS of children are following a tradition by having their recreational experiences widened with a stay at Portsea. The children from all over Victoria and New South Wales are able to enjoy the delights of one of the country’s most exclusive holiday destinations without having to stay in expensive holiday homes or hotels. The list of activities for children staying at the Portsea Camp includes exploring Shelley Beach, the back beach and Sorrento Park. Last week added excitement came out of the sky with the arrival of a rescue helicopter. “What began as the Lord Mayor’s Camp for country children in 1946 has evolved from a governmentfunded camp to a children’s charity that is proudly self-funded and independently governed. It receives no government funding,” CEO Stephen Eastop said. “The camp runs with a small staff throughout the year to host school, sporting, religious and corporate camps. “These day-to-day camps are essentially our fundraising. During the school holidays, children are offered week-long camps at a heavily subsidised rate.” Mr Eastop said the camp sought funding from benevolent foundations to “assist in giving access to a larger number of children and to cover the capital works which are required, particularly with historic buildings”. More than 350 volunteers helped throughout the year, travelling with the children, doing the laundry, fundraising and joining a working bee to renovate camp buildings. This month will see an average 250 children and 80 volunteers a week at the camp. “Children come for a large range of reasons. Children in care, children who have a disability, children whose life experience or personal circumstances suggest they would greatly benefit from having a break, and country children who rarely if ever get to the beach,” Mr Eastop said. For more information about Portsea Camp go to www.theportseacamp.com.au or call 5984 2333.

Camp sights: Children at an early Portsea Camp, above, clamber over a wrecked Second World War fighter plane while those at this year’s camp, right, get some instructions about a more modern flying machine. Top, the camp’s blue rash vests are a common site at nearby beaches.

Feet fit for summer By Kristie Raymond SUMMER means warm weather, holidays and increased outdoor activities, which also means more time on your feet, often barefoot or in thongs or slip-on shoes. This can take a toll on your feet and legs. So what can you do to look after your feet and legs this summer? We asked for some tips from local Sports Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics: 1. Vary your footwear Thongs, slip-ons and high heels can have an adverse affect on your feet and legs if worn too much, so wear properly fitted, supportive shoes with lower heels and decent cushioning, whenever possible. Sandals (with little or no heel) are often a good option, the straps hold the shoe to your feet so your feet and toes don’t have to do all the work. 2. Avoid too much barefoot activity Going barefoot outside is not a bad thing but it does significantly increase the risk of foot injury. Stepping on foreign objects or hot surfaces, like concrete and sand, can be damaging and painful. Bare feet in public locations, like swimming pools and showers, can lead to infections. So keep bare feet to when you’re at home, on safe surfaces or relaxing.

3. Always wear appropriate exercise shoes Even when it’s hot, you still need to exercise in appropriate shoes. Many people take long walks in summer, but doing this barefoot, or in thongs or slip-ons can be very stressful to your feet and legs, with muscles having to do a lot of extra work to accommodate inappropriate footwear. 4. Use a 30+ SPF sunscreen all over your feet Feet can be very susceptible to sunburn, both on top and underneath. It’s important to get any skin lesions checked, as melanoma can even occur on the soles of the feet. 5. Always get foot and leg pain checked Sore feet can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues and back, hip, knee and ankle pain can all result from bad foot posture. Prevention is better than cure, so don’t wait to get any persisting niggles checked. The good news is, using the latest medical research and treatments, an experienced sports podiatrist can assist most foot and leg pain quickly and effectively, including issues that have been diagnosed as untreatable or needing surgery or medication. If you have any foot or leg pain see the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza and Rye. Call 1300 328 300. Mention this article and get $50 Off your initial consultation.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Fruit growers threaten strike; lord mayors debate bathing arrangements Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 17 January 1914 THE latest thing in strikes is reported here. The members of the S. F. L. G. intend “striking” unless the Fruitgrowers association put in a floor in the shed. The threat has aroused the members, and they are working hard to raise the necessary funds for flooring the shed. No doubt they recognise what a calamity it would be if the members of the ladies guild carried out their threat. *** WITH the summer at its height the metropolitan newspapers are, as usual, discussing very fiercely the question of a mixed bathing. Views on both sides are expressed by scores of correspondents, and “Everylady’s Journal” has been to the trouble of collecting the ideas of such notable people as the Lord Mayors of Sydney and Melbourne, Archbishop Mannix and Canon Hughes, the Commissioner of Police and a lady doctor, the American, French, and German consuls and Mr “Snowy” Baker, the famous surf champion. The views of these varied folk, it may be added, are illustrated with a number of magnificent camera views that seem also to offer arguments on both sides of the vexed question: ‘Should Mixed Bathing Be Encouraged?” The majority of people asked, replied in favour of mixed bathing within reasonable limits. The Lord Mayor of Melbourne thinks that “the sea is quite big enough for both men and women to swim in,” and his sympathies are entirely in favour of those who advocate mixed bathing,

provided they do not overstep the boundaries of moderation. The Lord Mayor of Sydney, however, whilst heartily endorsing the practice of surf bathing, condemns the too lax oversight of certain beaches where indiscriminate bathing is indulged in. This article is well worth reading. There are a dozen almost equally interesting articles in the January issue of ‘Everylady’s Journal,’ which begins a new year with a capital number, and the promise of a very full twelve months. It is a sixpenny magazine which should appeal strongly to all our women readers. *** MR Sambell reported at the last meeting of the Frankston shire council on the main road from Carrum to Frankston, which is taken over by the Country Roads Board. Full particulars next issue. Other interesting items are also held over. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council a letter was received from the Education Department. stating that the work of re-modelling and erecting additions to the Frankton State School had been authorised to be carried out. *** WE notice in the London “People,” dated November 23, the following:- “Rate at Walton-on-the-Naze probably constitutes a record, being 20s in the pound.” Evidently a case of “pay through the nose!” *** IN another column, Herr Benj. Hescler, K.M.W., notifies that he will visit Frankston and Mornington weekly, to instruct pupils in violin

playing. The method adopted is the “Sevcik Method,” which is in vogue in every Conservatorium in Europe. ***

Splendid rains fell throughout the district on Monday. They were much needed, and orchadists and nurserymen will benefit greatly.

THE good rains which fell on Sunday and Monday last had the effect of checking the bush fire on Mt. Eliza, which was burning since Friday. Considerable damage has been done to fencing, and Mr W. White, of Mornington, had over 100 tons of wood consumed. *** SPLENDID rains fell throughout the district on Monday. They were much needed, and orchardists and nurserymen will benefit greatly.

*** ON Monday last, Mr Sydney Jefferson, the newly appointed manager of the local co-operative packing shed, took over control of the premises, and received instructions from the committee as to his duties during the forthcoming season. It is intended to make a further canvas of the district for supporters of the co-operative packing and grading for export as also to buy and secure Interstate consignments to be graded and sent through the shed. Already promises of substantial support have been received, and although on the whole, the season’s crop may be light, the prospects of the association are encouraging. A good number of growers who were not at first disposed to support the movement too warmly, since further studying the matter, have expressed themselves as ardent supporters and are endeavouring by precept and example to strengthen the lands of the local managing committee, Messrs Webb (chairman), Gregory, Roper, Scott and J. Unthank. No doubt, under the personal and practical supervision of those gentlemen the season’s operations may be expected to be both extensive and satisfactory. The tender of S. S. Gault for the supply of cases has been accepted, as also, that of the Australian Cooperative Export and Distributing Company for wood, wrapping paper etc. It may be mentioned that the cases to be used are made up of pine ends with hardwood sides, bottom and lids, a type of case finding great favour with exporters generally. A local sawmill, under the manage-

ment of Mr. Fred Bachelor, is cutting up pines in the district and supplying the ends, and the product of the mill is looked upon as being exceptionally good both in quality of timber and cutting. Hard wood is, at present brought to the district from afar, but it is anticipated that next season entirely locally produced cases may be used for the shed’s operations, thus further extending the benefits of co-operation among the Peninsula growers. The committee is particularly anxious to receive assistance from the producers in order that the shed (the pioneer shed of the co-operative local packing and grading sheds in the States) may be enabled to uphold the reputation of the Somerville district for fruit producing. As also, to thoroughly test the new method as against the old methods of marketing orchard products in the Old Country and on the Continent. In an address recently given by the Hon W. Angliss M.L.C. before the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association, that gentleman, in giving his experiences in England where, on behalf of the State Government he enquired into the handling and marketing of Victorian fruit, strongly and empathetically urged that the system of co-operative grading and packing locally, should be adopted and expressed as his firm conviction that before long it would be borne in upon the Australian Fruit Growers that co-operative sheds would be found to be the true solution of the present difficulties in regard to low prices, bad treatment, and unsatisfactory results generally, hitherto attendant upon fruit expert.

owned by Jimi Hendrix will be turned into a museum highlighting the guitar great’s life and career. A $2.2 million grant will be used to revamp the home where he lived from 1968. A ground breaking blues rock guitarist of almost supernatural fluency who greatly expanded the boundaries of rock music and the vocabulary of the electric guitar, Hendrix died in 1970. The Best of Jim Hendrix (Sony) contains 20 tracks of classic Hendrix including Purple Haze, Hey Joe, All Along the Watchtower, Stone Free, Foxy Lady, Voodoo Child, Star Spangled Banner and more. *** Wheels & Steel is the tough fourth album from Mallee-born musician

Paul Costa. The album is hard hitting, raw and honest. Full of tough, electric guitar driven, commercial country songs set in the landscape of rural Australia. Eleven of the tracks were co-written by Paul, with collaborators Rod McCormack, Matt Scullion, Tamara Stewart and Drew McAlister; one is a gift from Drew McAlister and legendary songwriter Allan Caswell, and the remaining track is a barnstorming cover of the Joe Camilleri classic Chained to the Wheel. The first single off the album Tractors & Bikes, which Paul wrote with Tamara Stewart and Drew McAlister, is an affectionate nod to Paul’s childhood on a Victorian farm. “On the farm there were two main

males surely? We know about it, the females never stop talking about it (and money) but we generally ignore on the basis of worrying about it when the day arrives, maybe the day before, a gift or two. Suddenly it hits you, brought on by more and more despicable Christmas songs. The week of extreme stress is upon us. The sooner it leaves the better, along with those booze buses, albeit with nice police shoving something in my mouth. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating: rather than this one day a year being nice how about trying it for 365 days? Yes, yes, good for the ankle biters and the females; have a beer and relax. I did, it’s over, thank God. Too much grumbling? OK. I won’t mention this kissing and shaking hands nonsense on New Year’s Day. New Year’s Eve and the invasion of the idiots assisted by the fools who decide on fireworks, contributing to the idiocy. Alcohol bans in place but not in the carpark outside my back door. Who would want to spend NYE in a carpark at Rye with the radio blaring, drinking stubbies? No gun, but fortunately Serepax. Perhaps only one idiot in every hundred but an extra 20,000 visitors comes out at 200 idiots; enough to do much damage. I’d ban the carnival forever, outrageous unfair on families

prices in daylight and obnoxious when dark. It’s not all doom and gloom. The rain arrived New Year’s Day and stayed awhile. How beautiful was that? *** THE cranky letters to our newspapers on teaching, failing our children, low literacy skills on and on. There will be a bad teacher in the woodpile, as indeed a bad dentist, doctor or whatever, but by and large over all my years I rate teachers highly. Times tables and proper English is rote stuff; parents either help them or stop the blame game. A better school is well and good depending on the child’s personality but the old axiom still applies: put in the study time you pass, do not put in the study time you fail. Straightforward. And who knew looking back (at 18 years) what they wanted in life? Avril Brown, Maureen O’Gorman, Rosemary Carter and Diana Vines spring to mind, but long since failed and recovered. Stuff and nonsense. *** I’M doubtful about all those ideas to save money by cutting down on electricity usage, including cheaper bills from different companies, smart meters, installing four, five kilowatt solar systems and the tariff buyback rate paraphernalia. They surely have

to make a profit so if we all used no electricity for a week (buy up the old kerosene lamps) would they make a loss? Not on your nelly. It’s all computerised, like the water bill and Woolies specials. And up goes the profit margin the following year, no matter what. Go for it if you think you’re on a winner. Me? Nah, they’re all crooks. One way or another, they get you. *** The Greens are hot on the trail of “no alcohol commercials until nightime”. Be warned, be careful. We smokers know from experience if they get this they will want more. A step at a time but never ever satisfied. Pretty soon it will be wrong to sleep on a queen bed with someone. I’m surprised they allow virgin oil to be advertised. The lovely lady representing the anti-smoking lobby: “We know that 80% of smokers prefer not to smoke” but in reality the lady is loose with the truth. Ask 1000 smokers the question and 80% may well give that answer. Ask why and most would answer “Because it’s too expensive.” Second question: “Do you like smoking?” Answer: YES. *** The kitchen bench is clean, spotless. It’s early morning and I’m very care-

ways to get to work on the property every day – you drove a tractor, or you rode a motorbike,” he says. “I remember riding the bike across the levy bank to other places – some I was allowed to ride to, and some I wasn’t. And I remember having tractor races with my brothers, all the time hoping Dad wouldn’t catch us. They are very fond memories.” The latest track off the album is Bad Boy taken from Wheels & Steel (WJO). More info management@ paulcosta.com.au *** TOP 10 ALBUMS 1.

A Grain of Salt I TRY to write from the mind, no big words designed to impress, judging a book by its cover sort of thing. Write a book and receive 50 opinions, all different; best to please myself. Hemingway said write when drunk, edit when sober, but I don’t get drunk. My best ideas arrive when I’m in the shower, on the throne or driving, so forced to ponder. Alas, at the keyboard and mostly a shell remains. A mild tremour in my writing hand; no point pen and pad. *** IT’S the silly season so we make allowances. It’s Boxing Day into January the minute you drive your car to Woolworths. Just the two roundabouts; approach as normal; car on your left one metre advanced. You assume it will give way. Wrong. A space is a space; beware. Also the silly season for the antiRosebud pool crowd, crouched at their computers writing vitriol to the newspapers aimed at those six councillors who voted for the pool. One wonders how Frank Martin (Red Hill) is coping. One wonders why anyone would stand for council. Moving on... *** CHRISTMAS Day. It sneaks up. Yes, the females have been at it for weeks; cards to send, wrapping paper, Christmas tree, decorations, presents, organising ever onwards, but not

Sorras prove they’re the team to beat PROVINCIAL By IT Gully THE race for a place in the MPCA Provincial finals is down to seven teams after the second of the season’s one day matches were played on Saturday. In the first game after the Christmas break, most teams were a little rusty, especially with the bat. There were no squeaky wheels in the SORRENTO machine though as it dismantled its biggest rival, MORNINGTON. The Doggies welcomed back Rob Hearn to the fold, who has returned from Dandenong for the rest of the season. Although he top scored with 50, it made little difference to the result. The Sorras won the toss and skipper Nick Jewell had no hesitation in batting first. The tactic paid dividends with the top order all getting amongst the runs. Jedd Falck and Jewell put on a 69run opening partnership. Falck was eventually out for 31 while Jewell went on to make 79. Liam O’Connor made 52 batting at three and Leigh Poholke contrib-

uted 25. At the end, Ryan O’Connor smacked a quick fire 20 to help his side to 9/239 off their allotted 40 overs. Michael Heib and Luke Harper each snatched four wickets for the Doggies. The Sorras are on top of the ladder, now two games clear of Mornington (68) on 92 points. BAXTER has dropped back to the pack after going down to MT ELIZA. Baxter is now equal with Long Island and Langwarrin after both those teams won on Saturday. It sets up a very important showdown between the Kangaroos and Baxter this weekend. Baxter was never really in the contest against Mt Eliza after making just 106. Dean Sterry top scored with 25, while the next best was keeper Daniel Lanati with 17. Justin Savio was the pick of the Mounties’ bowlers with 3/19 from seven overs. Although there were moments in the match where it appeared Baxter could achieve the unthinkable and bowl the Mounties out, especially when they were 6/71, the home side got the neces-

sary runs with four wickets and plenty of balls in hand. Chris Wisbey held the innings together with an unbeaten 23. Ben Smith snared 3/24 for the visitors. CRIB POINT lost some touch with the top five sides after going down to RYE. Rye has been ordinary at best this season but had the better of the erratic Magpies on Saturday. The Demons made a reasonable 7/189 from their innings with captain Darren Groves continuing to lead the charge with 46, Ben Ashworth contributing an unbeaten 43 and Tom Barrand hitting 40. Glenn Barclay was the pick of the Pies bowlers with 3/32, while Luke Herrington claimed 3/38. Herrington was the best of the Pies’ batsmen too with 32 but he received little to no support. The visitors were bowled out for 142 in the 37th over. The Demons shared the wickets around, the best of the bowlers being Leigh Lambert with 4/32. LONG ISLAND moved to third

place on the ladder with a strong, fighting win against PENINSULA OLD BOYS. It was a must win for the Old Boys to keep their finals’ hopes alive. Their hopes are now dashed. The Islanders batted first and made 4/245 from their 40 overs, Aaron Paxton top scoring with 62 and Justin Bridgeman again getting amongst the runs with 30. The Old Boys used eight bowlers throughout the innings. Long Island started well with the ball, getting the first three wickets (Dylan O’Malley, Brandon Lawler and Eivion Bowen) all out cheaply. However, the Old Boys went from 3/28 to 4/146 after skipper Glenn Prendergast (59) and Wade Pelzer (73) got things back on track. John Forrest also contributed 42 to help get the score past 200 but there was simply no wag in the tail. The Old Boys lost their last four wickets for just eight runs. Scott Phillips claimed four wickets for the Islanders while Andrew Tweddle picked up three. MT MARTHA thrashed MOO-

ROODUC to earn their first win of the season. The Ducs, minus Bobby Wilson on state duties, were bowled out for just 59 from 29.1 overs. Jordan Pomeroy was at his best with four wickets while Curtis Stone helped himself to three scalps. Mt Martha batted for 28 overs and made 5/107, skipper Corey Harris was back among the runs with 53 and Aiden Pateman opened with 28. The much-needed win means Mt Martha stays in the battle with Rye, who also won their first game of the season at the weekend, to avoid relegation. LANGWARRIN easily accounted for HEATHERHILL after setting the visitors more than 230 for victory. Simon McEvoy was stranded on 99 at the end of the Langwarrin innings, while David Ross also opened with a half century. In reply, the Hills lost early wickets, thanks to left arm opening quick Matt Davie, before Mal Coutts and Dwayne Doig tidied things up in the back end of the innings. Kristian Miller was in superb form for the Hills with a classy half century.

Blues season finished after batting collapse DISTRICT

Caught out: Hastings’ cricket season was effectively ended at the weekend after their latest loss to Seaford Tigers. The Blues cannot now make the top four. Boneo’s narrow win (pictured) over the Blues last month contributed to their disappointing season. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Mornington News 14 January 2014

By IT Gully THE Blues’ MPCA District season is over after going down to SEAFORD TIGERS on Saturday. In a must win game for the Blues, they failed with the bat after the bowlers did such a wonderful job to give them every opportunity to win. HASTINGS is now in ninth position on the ladder, two games outside of the top four. The Tigers won the toss and elected to bat but the Blues’ bowling attack, led by Isuru Dias (2/23) and Mitchell Floyd (2/22), helped their side claim early wickets. With Luke Hewitt (3/32) and Tim Birch (1/37) also nagging away, the Blues were able to restrict the Tigers to just 9/116 off their 40 overs. At this point in the match, the Blues were well and truly in the game. Hastings got away to a reasonable start with the bat, David Hull and Chris Sawosz opening with 31. However, Hull and Sawosz were dismissed without adding a further run and the Blues never really recovered, despite Jake Hewitt (27) and Birch (21) offering some resistance in the middle order. Hastings lost its last five wickets for 10 runs. Ash Mills (3/17) and Corey Hand (3/17) were the pick of the Tigers’ bowlers. The Tigers are now in fourth place on the ladder, knocking MAIN RIDGE out of the top bracket. The Ridge had a big test against DELACOMBE PARK, without Chris Brittain, but failed it. The Parkers batted first and although there were no huge scores from their batsmen, many of them contributed. James Spencer helped himself to a half century, Nick Christides smacked 34 and Simon Dignan hit 40. There were another four batsmen to reach double figures. Jacob McWilliams was the best of

the Ridge bowlers with 4/37, while Scott Millar picked-up 3/26. In the chase, only Ed Aarons (85) could stand-up to the Parker’s bowlers, led by the evergreen Brett Chard, who wound back the clock with 5/17 from 6.3 overs. Virun Singh was a wonderful support for Chard with 2/35. PINES remained outright second after thrashing CARRUM. Jake Prosser produced his best cricket since round one for the Piners, hitting 89 before claiming 2/42 with the ball. Harley Peace-Stirling with an unbeaten 48 and Jeremy Weare with 45 helped Pines get to 6/234. Carrum was bowled out for 152, Shaun Foster top scoring with 64 and Josh Dent hitting 39. Ricky Ramsdale also snared 2/29. SOMERVILLE did what it needed to get done against BADEN POWELL. Jack Kennedy hit 51 and Sam Delaney 34 to help the Eagles to a competitive total of 160. They then bowled out the Braves for 128, Aaron Kaddatz snaring 3/37 while Justin Allsop and Russell Wilkes took two wickets each. Sam Mullavey again top scored for the Braves with 35. BALLAM PARK set BONEO a tough target when it made 7/173 off its 40 overs. However, Boneo star Leigh Lowry brought his A-game to the table and smacked an unbeaten 86 to see his side win the match with nine wickets in hand. FLINDERS picked up its third win of the season, knocking over SEAFORD. Seaford batted first and made 145, skipper Damien Lawrence top scoring with 24. Max Royal claimed 4/40 from 10 overs for the Sharks and Dwayne Field was at his best with 3/19 from 10. With the bat, Flinders cruised to victory, thanks largely to opener Shane Beggs, who was eventually out for 71. After 38 overs, Flinders wound things up at 7/157.

Buffer gives Balnarring breathing space SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully BALNARRING has given itself a one game buffer inside the top four after beating TYABB in a crucial MPCA Sub District clash on Saturday. Coming into the match, both sides were locked together on 36 points, equal with Rosebud in third position. It was a must win for both sides to stay in touch with the leaders and give themselves every opportunity to play finals cricket. The Yabbies won the toss and elected to bat on their home deck. Tyabb lost both openers before the

team had reached double figures and when Jacob Cook took a hat-trick, including the prized scalp of Luke Rus for 16, the Yabbies were reeling at 5/31. Ben Raeside (26), Rienzie Wijeratne (28) and Jack Raeside (28) showed some grit in the back end of the innings to help the Yabbies to a competitive total of 8/151. What was to come next was impressive. Balnarring took a major liking to the Yabbies’ bowlers and dominated them. With 13 overs to spare, the visitors had scored 4/154.

to win the match with a massive 22 overs in hand. CARRUM DOWNS and TOOTGAROOK played-out a thriller at Thompson Oval. The Cougars won the toss and sent the Tooters into bat. At the end of the 40 overs, it appeared to be a wrong call after the Tooters made 8/162. Luke Thompson hit 40, Matt Whelan 39 and Klint James 30 for Tootgarook, while Chamara Perera snared 4/43. The Cougars needed to get away to a good start to win and they achieved exactly that, openers Shane Walford and Anthony Hunter getting 44 and

Tyabb used seven bowlers to try and stop the onslaught but it was to no avail. Things are becoming all too easy for RED HILL. This time it was PEARCEDALE on the receiving end of a hiding. The Panthers batted first and were all back in the sheds after scoring just 70 runs in 37.3 overs. Opener Brad Trotter ran out of partners, unbeaten on 35. Glenn Collett was at his best with the ball with 4/17, while Brent Martin claimed 3/15 from 8.3 overs. Riley Shaw (18no) and Simon Dart (47no) then made the necessary runs

The Hoppers batted first and scored 8/169 before bowling Skye out in the 30th over for just 121. Chris Milne, batting at nine for Skye, was the only player to offer resistance with 43. In another thriller, FRANKSTON YCW staged a wonderful victory over ROSEBUD. Set 226 for victory, the Stonecats got there were two overs to spare and four wickets in hand.

ART Exhibition Cameras a new focus for art Raffle Mornington

PHOTOGRAPHS have been included for the first time at Mornington Art Exhibition. The more than 900 exhibits in 42nd exhibition run by Mornington Rotary Club will include the traditional oils, water colours and pastels as well as “digital art” produced with the aid of digital cameras. Toorak College student Melissa Lechte saw beauty in the area around Seaford pier in the glow of a sunset.

She describes the works as “largely an experimental series” using manual camera settings. Fellow Toorak student Madeline Gibson saw “similarities and contrasts” in the isolation and distance of the desert and the ocean. Her images present ominous dark tones of an inky blue ocean in contrast to the fiery colours of the dry sandy desert.

MEMBERS of Mornington Rotary Club are selling raffle tickets outside Farrell’s Bookshop in main St as part of their annual 42nd Mornington Art Exhibition. The first prize is a $2000 accommodation voucher to any Big Four Holiday Park in Australia, donated by Big Four Frankston Holiday Park. Big Four Parks have camping and caravan sites and cabins. Second prize is a $1500 garden hamper from Bunnings, Mornington. Ken Cameron’s Town and Country Menswear has given $1000 worth of R M Williams for the third prize while the fourth prize is $600 of Antler luggage from Helloworld Mornington Bayside. The raffle will be drawn at the end of the art show on Monday 27 January. All proceeds of the raffle and profits from the art show go towards Rotary’s community and humanitarian projects. Winners will be notified by mail/ phone and results will be published in The News. For more art show information go to www.morningtonartshow.com.au or call art show director Alan Harwood on 0413082992.

Pipes and drums lead the way in parade THE spectacular 5th/6th Battalion, Royal Victoria Regiment – a pipes and drums band – will lead the Hillview Quarries parade down Main St, Mornington, on Australia Day. This means that for only the second time in memory, there will be two pipe and drum bands in action, with the popular RSL Pipes & Drums band also marching. In addition, the Mornington Youth and Citizen’s Band, which has participated in the parade for several decades, will also be participating. Parade director Cindy Last said the 5/6 Royal Victorian Regiment pipes and drums band was a national treasure. “Bands provide enormous flair to the Australia Day parade, which this year will have a record number of entries and a crowd to match,” she said. This year will see the entire Main St Mornington roadway barricaded for spectator safety during the parade. Please note, car parks will not be available between Barkly Street and the Esplanade from 5.00am to 6.00pm on Australia Day. The parade time of 5 pm enables families to attend daytime activities in Hastings, Mount Eliza, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento and then join in the fun in Mornington Park from 12 noon until 9pm. All Shire activities will again be free. There will be free Children’s activities in Mornington Park sponsored by Pearl Magazine, followed by the parade, a family concert and fireworks. The fireworks display from 9.15 pm – 9.30 pm depending on the weather, will cap off a wonderful day of celebrations. The fireworks are part of a vast array of activities to be mounted on Australia Day. For information on the parade, contact organiser Cindy Last 0416 044 974. For information on other activities, contact the shire’s community and special events team on 1300 850 600 or visit the Shire’s web site: www.mornpen.vic.gov.au
