GIFT GUIDE 2013
See in Christmas festivities with a bang THE Sorrento Portsea Chamber of Commerce will again be hosting its annual Community Christmas Concert and Fireworks on Sunday, 15th December starting at 6.00pm on the Sorrento foreshore. The Christmas concert has been running for over 12 years, starting as a few carollers in the rotunda and has grown to be a professional concert with a stage, lights and sound overlooking the bay, supporting local singers and ending with a bang with a 5-10 minute fireworks display. Singing this year will be Sorrento Primary School Choir whom has supported the event for many years, plus the local primary school orchestra. Local Peninsula sisters Lauren & Beth Stewart will be singing an array of Christmas songs for all the family to join in, supported by a few friends and other local boy Oscar Wycisk. Santa will arrive with some special treats for the kids and there will be face painting. The Christmas concert is aimed at bringing the local community together, and is a thank you to them from the Sorrento traders for supporting them and their businesses throughout the year. The Rotary Club of Sorrento will be supporting the event with their sausage sizzle, which is a family favourite, and the Mornington Peninsula Shire also assists with funding the event to which we are grateful. Everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic, purchase a sausage from the local Rotary Club or bring food from one of the local restaurants or cafes. The Christmas Concert is free. Festive Season Hits the Sorrento Street Forget the hassle of big shopping centres this Christmas, and head to Sorrento where you can find the unique and boutique. With over 60 retailers, including loads of fashion, gifts, homewares, food, wine and art, it’s the perfect place to buy something for that “hard to buy for” friend or relative. Why not consider a voucher from one of the many day spas or accommodation venues, a bespoke piece of jewellery, an antique or anything else that meets your fancy. Forget the overcrowded, stuffy shopping centres with the same brands and difficult car parking, and take the hassle out of Christmas this season by shopping local, shop Sorrento. Sorrento, Live the Life.

Offering Christmas salvation FOR many, Christmas is a joyous time, spent with family and friends. But for increasing numbers in our community, Christmas can highlight things like loneliness, separation and economic disadvantage. “The Salvation Army recognise this, and we are aiming again this Christmas season to spread some cheer, particularly among those for whom Christmas is a sad, difficult time”, says Captain Colin Lane. Throughout the year, the Salvos help people in need right across Australia, providing food, clothing, shelter and a raft of support services. According to Captain Lane “Christmas often places a great economic strain on families, and we see an increase in people seeking assistance through this period. In addition, we are encountering increasing numbers of people who are simply lonely, with little or no contact with family, and limited friends and support networks.”
As well as their brass band playing Christmas carols at various locations throughout December, the Salvos at Mt Martha are holding a carols night and concert on Sunday December 22nd at 5pm at their Mission Centre at 750 Nepean Highway. Then on Christmas Day, a church service starts at 9.30am, followed by a free community lunch for those in the local area who have no one else to share Christmas Day with. Transport is available and bookings for lunch should be made by calling 5976 3087. “It’s a busy month,” said Captain Lane, “and we are looking to the community to help. Volunteers are needed to help us collect at shopping centres, and if anyone can play a brass instrument, they are welcome to come and play in our carolling band with us.” Those wanting to volunteer should call the Salvos on the above number.

From little ones big things grow ROSEBUD Community Garden in Lawson Park launched its Food Forest Project on Saturday with mayor Cr Antonella Celi doing the honours. Garden vice-president Sasha Mainsbridge said the project had received strong support from businesses, and “Mornington Peninsula Shire has supported us since the garden started in 2003”. The group has applied for a federal government grant for an irrigation system, propagating shed, solar lighting and wood heater. “Supplies for the food forest have been provided by sponsors with a start made in August when we planted 20 fruit trees,” she said. “The garden is where people learn, share and improve their knowledge of growing food and gardening in general at organised workshops and social interaction in the garden.” She said the food forest would have “a wide variety of fruit and nut trees, vegetables and herbs, and an array of plants that attract good insects and ward off pests and diseases”. The group holds a working bee on the last Saturday each month at 10.30am followed by a pot-luck lunch and a food swap program from 1-3pm. The group is seeking new members. Details: Karen McCosker, membership officer, 0410 045 393, info@rosebudcommunitygarden.org or 0403 008 016 (garden phone number).

Sue threat over beach By Mike Hast MILLIONAIRE Portsea Hotel owner Chris Morris says he will sue the state government if it doesn’t fix Portsea’s badly eroded front beach. The founder of share registry firm Computershare, reported to be worth $555 million, made the claim on Neil Mitchell’s 3AW radio show on Friday, which was broadcast from a caravan near Rosebud pier. Mr Mitchell devoted his show to the erosion of beaches on the peninsula side of Port Phillip, much of which has
occurred since dredging of The Heads and South Channel in 2008-09. The broadcaster said he spent his first four years living in Rosebud. His father was principal of Rosebud Primary School and the family lived in the school grounds. “I remember spending many happy hours on a wide, beautiful beach but now it is sandbagged. I want to find out if it’s dredging, climate change or a natural cycle,” he said. Mr Morris, 65, followed Mr Mitchell’s interviews with state Environment

Minister Ryan Smith and Port of Melbourne CEO Stephen Bradford, both of whom denied dredging was the cause of erosion, despite two reports released in July that concluded increased swell coming into Port Phillip from Bass Strait was occurring because of dredging and that it was the real culprit for the devastating erosion at Portsea.

be measured accurately due to a lack of “long wave records at Portsea beach that predate the erosion event and CDP”. “It is conceivable that the CDP may have increased the height of waves impacting the beach at Portsea and therefore some degree of attribution to the CDP is possible.” The CSIRO called for additional wave data to be collected.

A second report, by the CSIRO, which reviewed all consultants’ reports that led the Office of the Environmental Monitor to claim dredging was not the cause of Portsea erosion, was commissioned following pressure from Nepean Ratepayers Association president Colin Watson and Portsea residents including Chris Morris.

Crime rate up but police take credit By Chris Brennan THE total number of crimes recorded on the Mornington Peninsula was 2.6 per cent higher for the twelve months to 30 September compared the corresponding period the year before, led by a rise assaults, burglary and car theft. The official crime rate for the Mornington Peninsula, measured as ratio per head of population, was up just 0.8 per cent and was punctuated by significant declines in the number of robberies (down 34 per cent), drug offences (15.5 per cent lower), and theft from motor vehicle (down 17.3 per cent.). The latest Victoria Police statistics for the year to 30 September show police on the Mornington Peninsula are making significant inroads in curbing crime against property, but that crime against the person, a category that includes rape and domestic violence, continues to rise. However, police said this was due mainly to increased reporting of incidents of family violence following high-profile campaigns the encouraged victims to come forward. Across Victoria, the official crime rate was up 2.7 per cent measured as a rate per 100,000 people, while the total number of offences recorded jumped 4.6 per cent. Crime against the person increased by 2.5 per cent, due mostly to a rise in assaults, which increased 4 per cent, while robbery was down 18.3 per cent. Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Lucinda Nolan said the increase in crime rates was due to better crime detection, particularly for offences such as drug use and possession. She said police had also seen a rise in breaches of family violence intervention orders, which was directly related
to more family violence based offences overall. Mornington Peninsula police commander Inspector Neil Aubert said that while the latest results were encouraging, police were concerned a number of key messages were not being heeded by residents, including the need for drivers not to leave valuables in plain sight and to lock their vehicles. “I must say that statistically, we are still seeing over 60 per cent of thefts from motor vehicles occur where vehicles are left unlocked,” he said. “We’re also seeing valuable items, such as mobile phones, wallets, purses and other electronic items left on display in vehicles. “Please remember to protect your valuables and think before your leave your car. Make it a priority to lock your vehicle, even in your own driveway.” Deputy Commissioner Nolan said police were increasingly concerned by a number of emerging trends in criminal behaviour, including, deceptions and shoplifting. She said increasing numbers of credit cards were being stolen, often from letter boxes, and offenders were using the cards for multiple low-value transactions before victims noticed. In the case of theft from shops, Ms Nolan said changes to in-store payment practices and the introduction of multiple exits was making it easier for offenders to walk out without paying for goods. “We’re concerned with how some retailers and industries, through their own practices, are contributing to the crimes being committed,” she said. “While financial institutions and retailers may be willing to factor in fraudulent activity into their profits, someone else ends up paying for it normally the lawful customers.”
Speeding P-platers lose licences A TEENAGER driving to schoolies celebrations in Rosebud was one of three P-plate drivers to have their licences suspended over the weekend for excessive speeding during a police blitz on Frankston and Mornington Peninsula roads. A 19-year-old man from Roxburgh Park was detected by Frankston highway patrol officers travelling at 140km/h in a 100km/h zone on Peninsula Link near the Frankston Freeway about 1.05am on Saturday. The man’s licence was suspended for six months, while the Ford Falcon sedan he was driving was issued with a defect notice.

Not like good old days: Melbourne broadcaster and former newspaper editor Neil Mitchell returned to the Rosebud beach of his childhood on Friday and spent most of his radio show asking people why Port Phillip beaches are eroding. Picture: Gary Sissons
Portsea erosion sue threat Continued from Page 1 A Department of Environment and Primary Industries contractor installed three high-tech wave monitoring buoys off Portsea. The information will be fed into a computer modelling program and the results handed to the state government next year. On Friday, Chris Morris said he was disappointed with comments made by Ryan Smith and Stephen Bradford. Both men blamed Portsea erosion on more severe weather. They said loss of Port Phillip beaches was cyclical and sand would return, including at Portsea, but could not say when. Mr Morris said they were “paranoid
about being sued” over the destruction of Portsea beach. “We need to get some real information about why 400-year-old moonah trees growing 100 metres from the shore on Point Nepean have been eroded,” he said. “We need to get it fixed.” Earlier in the show, federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt, a resident of Mt Martha, where massive erosion has occurred in recent times including this year, agreed with the findings of the CSIRO report but defended Ryan Smith’s statements. Smith, Bradford and Hunt all deflected discussion about dredging and erosion by saying water quality in Port
Phillip had improved in recent years. Neil Mitchell interviewed several peninsula residents including Judy Muir, of Polperro dolphin swims, who said dredging had damaged and changed Port Phillip; Jenny Warfe of dredging opponent Blue Wedges Coalition, who said the two recent reports had vindicated Blue Wedges’ opposition to CDP; and Warren Neale, who owned the Portsea–Queenscliff passenger ferry 1975-2003 and said he had made 40,000 visits to Portsea pier and that the government “should put back the rocks it removed” as this was the only way to stop the beach eroding further.
IN a letter in last week’s issue responding to my article “Battle to resume on pool site” (The News, 19/11/13), Cr David Gibb said I’d made six errors. First, councillors did indeed reject the foreshore site as the only option for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) by voting to approve an alternative site, at Wannaeue Place. Cr Gibb and his faction probably voted for the purchase. It was partly a tactical move – to try to ensure the Gibb faction maintained its 6-5 majority on council as the 2012 election loomed. It did: Cr Antonella Celi just scraped back. Cr Gibb said at the time he was “happy for SPA to be built on the foreshore or at Wannaeue Place”. Happy? He has denied Rosebud this facility for at least half a decade because of his obdurate campaign to put it on the foreshore. Second, Cr Gibb said there were plans for SPA. This is wrong. Cr Gibb said “concept plans” had been around for years. A “concept plan” is not a plan – it is barely more than a sketch, a jotting, a “thumbnail dipped in tar”. The state government required “detailed design drawings”, not “concepts”, from the shire. Third, Cr Gibb claimed costings existed for the pool. If indeed they exist they have not been released for scrutiny. Shire officers have probably done “ballpark” estimates, based on building size multiplied by a cost per square dollar figure. Such a figure is not a definitive estimate: it is only accurate within a range of up to 20 per cent. Fourth, Cr Gibb stated SPA had ministerial approval. It does not, and Cr Gibb knows that, or should know it. The foreshore site has conditional approval. Twenty months ago Envi-

ronment Minister Ryan Smith sought seven pieces of information before he could consider full SPA approval. Has he had this information? Has the shire had a response from him? Apparently not, on both counts. So, no approval. Fifth, Cr Gibb said a business plan existed for SPA, inside a feasibility study, in the form of a “business case”. A business “case” and a business “plan” are as dissimilar as “plans” and “concept drawings”. Has the “plan” been upgraded since the feasibility study was done in 2005-06? Does it cover a Wannaeue Place SPA? Can he make it public? Many would like to scrutinise it. Sixth and finally, Cr Gibb tried to laugh off the size of shire debt (shire figure: $42 million), saying it can borrow heaps more if it wants. Let’s see if ratepayers will emit a hearty guffaw about their ever-increasing rates load. Debt must be repaid: rates are one of only two ways for the debt-addicted shire to get out of hock. The other is increased charges. Anyone for higher tip fees and parking fines? Cr Gibb now appears quite incapable of taking a balanced view on the SPA location. He has pushed for the foreshore site with a growing, almost religious zeal, the blazing eye of an Old Testament prophet and straight to hell for unbelievers. His hot-gospelling, replete with refutable claims such as I have dealt with above, have inevitably drawn acolytes to his cause. But he has gained few adherents among thoughtful, prudent observers.

Actor takes director’s role for short films
Artist’s eye of approval
IT looks like actor Steve Bastoni enjoyed the look of Movember, but the growth on his upper lip is for a role in a film being shot in Italy. Last week the Rosebud-based Bastoni had his mind on much shorter, small budget productions than the Italian job he’s doing with Russell Crowe as he posed for stills to promote next February’s Peninsula Short Film Fest. In his role as film festival director, Bastoni said films of up to eight minutes were being accepted up to the deadline of 20 December. “If you have an idea, grab a camera and get filming,” he said. The festival has a $5000 first prize, $2500 for second and $1250 third. Bastoni said the winner of a new category – the Best Cinematography Award – “will walk away with the much-coveted Black Magic Design Resolve software”. “The festival is in its third year and provides filmmakers with the opportunity to receive industry acknowledgment, and offers a grassroots chance to launch a filmmaking career,” he said. Shortlisted films will be judged by a panel including producers, directors and actors. The 12 finalists will be announced in January with winners judged and announced on festival night, Saturday 1 February. The festival will kick off at midday with live music performances and the 12 shortlisted films screened for free from 7pm. Peninsula Short Film Fest, Saturday 1 February, Village Green Rosebud. Details: www.peninsulashortfilmfest. com.au
ARTIST Malcolm Beattie will be judging works by other artists at the next Rotary Club of Sorrento annual art show. No stranger to winning prizes at the show, Beattie’s own works are included in many corporate and private collections. In 2003 he published his first book, Simplifying Complex Scenes in Watercolour. Among the artists contributing to the 800 works at the show in January will be Jo-Anne Seberry, Jayne Henderson, Craig Davey, Jenny Goldspink and Suzanne Sommer. It will be the club’s 30th show. The first in a small community hall in Queens Rd, Sorrento, in 1984 raised $350 for Rotary projects. This year’s show, now being held at the Sorrento Community Centre, raised $35,000. Mornington Peninsula News Group, publisher of The News, is a sponsor of the show. The Shutterbugs Beach Boats and Bays photographic competition for schoolchildren being held in conjunction with the art show will be judged by The News’s photographer Yanni. Sorrento Rotary Club’s art show, 11-18 January, Sorrento Community Centre, David MacFarlan Reserve. Details: 0414 991 186.

Cash short for violence victims peal was aimed at helping women and their children escape family violence. “The fund provides emergency assistance to women and children facing crisis. It is for transport, accommodation, food, financial aid and counselling,” Ms Roberts said. “Affecting one in five Victorian women, domestic violence is the leading contributor to death, disability and illness in women aged 15 to 44. It is also a leading contributor to women facing homelessness. “I know far too many stories of women suffering violence from the
men they have left or tried to leave. The women could have been made so much safer if they’d had access to emergency financial relief.” Good Shepherd, which has been helping people overcome poverty and disadvantage since 1976, receives no government money for its Safe Families fund. It assists about 18,000 people each year, the majority on the peninsula. To donate to the fund, go to www. goodshepvic.org.au, email support@ goodshepvic.org.au or call 8412 7370.

It has launched a Christmas appeal with all money raised going to the fund, which started in 2010 and helps about 500 peninsula people each year. Ms Talevski said a corporate sponsor that had previously supported the fund was directing its money to other causes. She said without a strong flow of donations, “we will struggle to meet demand over Christmas. With so many women and children to assist, our funds are almost empty. Good Shepherd CEO Robyn Roberts said the Safe Families Christmas ap-
By Mike Hast WELFARE organisation Good Shepherd is almost out of money for its Safe Families fund, which helps women and children on the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston who have been subjected to family violence. Good Shepherd’s marketing manager Suzana Talevski said demand for assistance had been steadily increasing and the fund was “running out”. The organisation needed to raise $40,000 or more to get it through the next 6-8 months, she said.

Helped thousands: Peninsula Toy Run founder and organiser John Smollen, right, at last year’s event, above. Pictures: Yanni
Toy run riders to honour founder MORE than 1000 riders are expected to take part in Saturday’s Peninsula Toy Run from Frankston to Rosebud following the death of its founder and organiser John Smollen last Saturday. Mr Smollen of Pearcedale, a member of the Ulysses Club’s Mornington Wanderers branch, devoted many hours each year finding sponsors and organising the run, which last year collected goods for 1500 hampers of food and toys for underprivileged
families, which are distributed by Southern Peninsula Food For All. Mr Smollen was found in his driveway on Saturday morning by his wife Maureen. Later in the day she told The News the 13th annual toy run would go ahead. The event draws many spectators, who enjoy seeing riders dressed in Christmas costumes on decorated bikes. Phil Matthews of Mornington Wan-
derers said about 700 riders took part last year but more were expected this year “to honour the work of John”. The toy run leaves Frankston pier car park at 9.30am on Saturday for Rosebud with riders assembling from 8am. Riders head down the Nepean Highway to Rosebud via Mornington and Dromana. For details or to donate unwrapped toys and canned or packaged food, call Phil Matthews, 9766 0758.
Queries over council ‘dissent’ protocol Community meeting, Rosebud Community Hall, Monday 25 November. Splendid buffet meal. By David Harrison A FAIR crowd had gathered, possibly to dine then observe new mayor Antonella Celi in action. She acquitted herself with assurance and efficiency. The meeting seemed to dawdle. Folk began to leave. Someone nearby was having trouble remaining alert. Some had heard the best was to come last, like dessert. And so it proved. Mayor Celi was gaining pace. “Notices of motion – no; councillors’ and delegates’ reports – no; urgent business – Cr Fraser.� The theatre curtain was rising: on stage a new mayor and a councillor, a barrister one year into his term. His business: Cr Graham Pittock’s right to vote on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA), due to come to council on 9 December. The business: that SPA be deferred until Cr Pittock’s court case was concluded next March. Cr Pittock faces conflict of interest charges because he owns a squash courts and gym centre in Dromana and SPA is proposed to include a gym. Cr Fraser had begun the matter with an email to shire CEO Michael Kennedy, advising Dr Kennedy would be “acting wrongfully� to bring SPA to council while a councillor was effectively deprived of a vote because of the pending court case. Powerful stuff. The gallery and councillors braced for action. The motion, which reflected the email, was read. Dr Kennedy began typing furiously. Now follows an edited account of the exchange. Cr Celi: I need to deal with the procedural motion of whether council will grant you [Cr Fraser]
leave then further introduce the item. Cr Fraser: I need to speak further about ... Cr Celi: Sorry ... Cr Fraser: As a matter of natural justice ... Cr Celi: Sorry Mr ... Cr Fraser, if you would please let me speak as chair of this meeting, thank you, I will call you to order on this item ... [dialogue cut] I will seek for a show of hands whether leave is granted or not and ... Cr Fraser: By division, thank you, Madam Mayor ... (Cr Celi confers with the council’s governance officer Noel Buck, who can be heard saying “no motion before the chair�) Cr Celi: There’s no motion before the chair ... Cr Fraser: No, I’ve moved to dissent from that, because the rules make it quite clear that a vote of council is required in relation to this, and a vote can be by division. Cr Celi: Cr Fraser, I will actually overrule that dissent and I’ll seek advice from Mr Buck ... if you could please ... thank you. Cr Fraser was voted down. But, as sure as “ipso� precedes “facto�, he will be back. In the meantime, ponder this: Mr Buck has made a witness statement in the Pittock conflict case. Could Mr Buck, in advising Cr Celi on meeting procedure, have a conflict? What should have been his advice to her on Cr Fraser’s request for a division, and on his dissent motion? And was there a motion before the chair?

Dromana club seeks more poker machines By Mike Hast THE Peninsula Club in Dromana wants to install 18 extra poker machines, up from 20 to 38. The machines, also called electronic gaming machines (EGMs), are not being transferred from other venues in Mornington Peninsula Shire. The club is owned by AFL club the Western Bulldogs, which “saved� the former DromanaRed Hill RSL sub-branch from oblivion in 2010 when it closed in July with debts of $200,000. Factors leading to the debt included high costs associated with running the gaming room and extensions made to the members’ bar and gaming room in 2008. In September 2010, the Western Bulldogs bought the premises in Noel St for its new Mornington Peninsula base, and has allowed the RSL to hold functions there. The football club said at the time it would spend $1 million on the venue, including doubling the number of poker machines. Peninsula Club will have to provide the shire with a planning application and a socio-economic impact assessment. It is expected a community consultation process will occur. The shire’s consultative committee on gaming – which includes representatives of hotels, a church organisation, lottery products retailers and shire officers – also will have a say about the application. It was told about the application last week, Peninsula Club is one of 17 venues on the peninsula with pokies, including seven on the southern peninsula – two in Dromana, three in Rosebud and two in Rye. In the 2012-13 financial year, gamblers lost $1.17 million at the club. Total losses on the peninsula were $78.9 million, down slightly from the previous year.

Anti-pokies campaigner Paul Bendat, who recently spent his own money on billboards and flyers in Frankston, said $25 billion had been lost on pokies in Victoria in the past decade. He is campaigning for machines with a maximum $1 bet “so gamblers cannot lose more than $120 an hour�. The News has sought comment from Peninsula Club manager Peter Dern.
Meet Red Hill councillor RESIDENTS of the shire’s biggest ward – Red Hill Ward – have the chance to discuss topics of interest and concern at a meeting at 6.30pm on Wednesday 18 December in Balnarring Hall, 341 Frankston-Flinders Rd.

Safer time for schoolies Art show embraces photography THE state government has kicked in $45,600 toward services provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire to help schoolies celebrate in safety. The government is providing $11,400 a year over four years to help provide free buses, water bottles, barbecues, breakfasts, welcome packs and music events aimed at helping school leavers have fun safely. “Finishing school is an important achievement worth celebrating,” Mornington MP David Morris said. “We want young people to have fun but, most importantly, we want them to be safe and happy. “During this time, it’s also important that school leavers look after themselves and their
friends, and respect the local communities they’re visiting.” Mr Morris is encouraging parents to make sure they know leavers’ plans, to check they have registered with the shire on the Schoolies website, and know where to go for help and information. Young people holidaying on the peninsula can keep up-to-date with safety and logistics information, including after hours transport options, special activities and events by registering at www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au/ schoolies For more information about celebrating safely during school leaver celebrations and events, including a tip sheet for parents, go to www. youthcentral.vic.gov.au/schoolies
PHOTOGRAPHIC art has been added to the categories of works being accepted at next year’s Mornington Art Exhibition. The popularity of photographic art is increasing along with its recognition as a relevant art form. The photographic art section of the exhibition will have three categories – landscape or seascape, sport, and people – and will be judged by The News’s photographer Yanni. The News is the event’s major sponsor. “This is a logical and positive step forward for the show and anyone interested in it, especially local photographers and Mornington Peninsula residents who will have the opportunity to display and view this popular art form,” said Yanni, who was also a judge of photographs at this year’s Red Hill Show.

He will also be displaying some of his own digitally produced images at the exhibition in January. The show will be the 42nd run by the Rotary Club of Mornington. There will be a gala opening on Friday 17 January at Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilsons Rd inMornington. The exhibition ends Monday 27 January. “We see the inclusion of photographs as a natural artistic expansion for our 42nd show, which will bring opportunities for all photographers to display and sell their work,” Mornington Rotarian Alan Harwood said. “This form of artistry opens up a whole new world of fine art for us all, and we will welcome as many entries as we can professionally display. Prizes for each category will be $300.” Tickets to the exhibition opening are available online or at Camerons Menswear and Farrell’s Bookshop, both in Main St, Mornington. Artists participating in the exhibitions have received more than $1.5 million for their works. For details and how to enter works in the Mornington Art Exhibition, go to www. morningtonartshow.com.au

Last week to switch! The final countdown to digital-only TV has begun The analog TV switch off is happening on 10 December 2013* – and there’s no turning back. After this date you won’t see anything if you’re not ready for digital-only TV.
What do I have to do? Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner. Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to. Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling. If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.
Don’t put it off any longer. Get ready for digital TV today. *Please note: switch off may occur earlier in some towns. Residents in these towns will be informed about the switchover dates. See the website for more information.
For help or more information on how to get digital ready in your area: 1800 20 10 13

CEO signs off with plans to expand By Keith Platt AROUND the clock emergency care for heart attack patients has been introduced at Frankston Hospital. “Ambulances will no longer need to transfer patients between health services, which can often also result in longer wait times,� Peninsula Health CEO Dr Sherene Devanesen said. “In addition to providing patients with a localised and accessible 24/7 service, the introduction of the extended service also aims to reduce the workloads and waiting times for ambulances.� The announcement at Peninsula Health’s annual meeting at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday came as the state government renewed efforts to end a standoff over wages and conditions by ambulance paramedics. It followed an incident in July when a 71-yearold Hastings man suffered cardiac arrest while being transferred from Frankston Hospital to Monash Medical Centre. The man spent two hours on a trolley at Frankston before being put back in an ambulance because the hospital did not have a spare bed. An investigation by Peninsula Health found the man had been provided with adequate care and it was unlikely his death could have been prevented. “In recent times, there have been a larger number of patients requiring cardiac angiography services outside of normal operating hours,� Dr Devanesen said. “Normally these patients would be transferred to larger hospitals, which offer 24-hour emergency cardiac services. “It is because of this continued increase in patients that a need was identified for a local, extended cardiac angiography service for our community. “All patients in our catchment area suffering from suspected heart problems who come to Frankston Hospital emergency department will be able to access this service unless their condition requires
a more specialised service from one of the major hospitals.� Dr Devanesen, who has resigned after 13 years as Peninsula Health CEO to become chief operating officer at the Yooralla Society of Victoria, announced several “expansions� to the health service in her final report. She said an extra four treatment chairs would be added to Frankston Hospital’s oncology day treatment centre (for a total of 15) along with two more beds. “The layout will be redesigned to create a friendlier, brighter and more accessible service for patients and staff,� Dr Devanesen said. “The expansion will ensure that services in addition to chemotherapy such as blood transfusions, bone marrow biopsies, pathology and other investigative procedures are able to be carried out in an environment that is tailored to suit the needs of the service.� Dr Devanesen said there would be 60 job vacancies “in the brand new, state-of-the-art, 30-bed geriatric rehabilitation wing at the award-winning Mornington Centre�. Roles to be filled included nurses, allied health professionals, support services and administration staff. “There will be a mix of full-time and part-time roles available,� Dr Devanesen said. The new wing, due to open in March 2014, takes the Mornington Centre to a 90-bed inpatient centre. “The patients we care for at the Mornington Centre have chronic and complex conditions, which may include dementia. “The centre is a modern facility, which provides patient-centred and interdisciplinary care for patients requiring a period of assessment and rehabilitation to optimise function and determine future care needs.� To register for a job, go to www.peninsulhealth. org.au/careersemployment

Shutterbugs Photo Competition The Rotary Club of Sorrento 2nd Annual Shutterbugs Beach Boats and Bays competition is one of many projects organised by our Rotary club members to embrace the community of the Mornington Peninsula. The competition, Beach Boats and Bays, is a project designed for school children who have an interest in photography. The competition runs from 5th October until 12th December 2013 - a fun educational opportunity for children to showcase their skills in this highly popular art form. Awardees gathered with Rotary President Bob Donaldson
Pride Of Workmanship Awards – Rotary Club Of Dromana October is Vocation Month in the Rotary calendar world wide. In recognition of this, the Rotary Club of Dromana conducted an Awards Night, for twelve recipients of the Pride of Workmanship Awards. This is in recognition to the signi¿cant contribution that they made in their place of work, or with a community group. They were joined by their families, friends and nominators for the presentations and to enjoy ¿nger food and drinks. They exchanged stories about their various professions and trades – a distinction that is surely anachronistic in today’s world. Whilst not going into each individual citation given by the nominator, the following words, cropped up regularly for many Awardees: team player, polite, commitment, people skills, positive, punctual, excellent phone manner, productive, caring & compassionate, assists workmates, nothing is a problem,
happy, tidy workplace, community minded, good customer service, organises social events, craftsmanship, engineering skills, goes the extra yard, motivated, high ethical standards, instantly addresses problems. No doubt many other accolades could be offered, for this very ¿ne group of young people. The worthy recipients and their sponsors were: Chris Dykes – nominated by Steve Jeffrey, Dromana Roadworthy & Service Centre James Bendle – nominated by Richard Bendle, Daytona Sports Cars, in Dromana John Hebbelthwaite – nominated by Richard Bendle, Daytona Sports Cars, in Dromana Joanne Tyrrell – nominated by Val Jarman, Dromana Sea Scouts
Chris Watt – nominated by Paul Stenner, Arbsafe Tree Services, in Dromana Ray Wilson - nominated by Paul Stenner, Arbsafe Tree Services, in Dromana Jonathon Palmer – nominated by Troy Palmer, Palmer Automotive, in Dromana Mark Whinney – nominated by Pam Fisher, P.I.P.E.S. in Dromana Troy Cazaly – nominated by Mark Gysi, Easycrete Industries, in Dromana Ian Gosling (jnr) – nominated by Ian Gosling (Snr), Dromana Mower Service Daniel Johnson – nominated by Cr. Graham Pittock, Tonic Squash & Gym, in Dromana Tim Doyle – nominated by Laurie Harrington, Peninsula Farm Supplies, in Red Hill Congratulations to everyone All told, it was a very exciting and interesting night.
Great prizes for the most outstanding entrants in each category and a Rotary Club of Sorrento Encouragement Award will be awarded. The photographs will be displayed at the 30th Annual Rotary Club of Sorrento Art Show, Sorrento Community Centre, Sorrento, from 11th-18th January 2014. The inaugural event last year saw over 140 entrants which were of a very high standard from age groups- 5-9 , 1014 and 15-18 year old students from schools all over the peninsula. The judge is a well-known peninsula photographer Yanni. Entry forms are available all over the peninsula, in cafes, milk bars, shops, cinemas, and Sorrento Community Centre.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Fire excites at Frankston station; cyclist narrowly avoids death Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 December 1913 Considerable excitement was caused in Frankston on Friday afternoon, when the firebell was heard to ring. The fire was located at the railway station, and the brigades were quickly on the scene, but when they arrived the railway officials had the fire well under control. The outburst was caused by the painters, who are burning off the paint preparatory to re-painting, and the fire apparently went through from the outside to the old wood inside. Luckily little damage was done. *** An accident occurred at the level crossing near Tanti on Wednesday last, happily without serious result to the participant. As the train from Mornington was going across the crossing a motor cyclist, who apparently had not noticed the train dashed into it. The cycle was very badly damaged, but when the train pulled up it was found that the rider had escaped without a scratch. *** The Frankston Brass Band gave another enjoyable concert last Saturday evening in Station Street. A collection was taken up for the uniform fund, and realised one guinea, of this Mr G. W. Wells generously donated 10s 6d. The Band will play in Bay Street tonight (Saturday), weather permitting. *** At the Mornington Y.M.C.A., on Friday, 28th November, the syllabus item was a ladies’ night, and passed off most enjoyably. In consequence
of the great number of invitations accepted it was found necessary to hold the function in St. Peter’s school room, which was kindly offered by the Rev. Mr Sandiford. About 60 ladies and gentlemen were present and were well pleased with the musical programme, the parlour games and the refreshments, which were supplied by Mr Bieri. *** On Tuesday, November 25th, Major, Mrs and the Misses Campbell entertained the boys of the Melbourne Seaside Home at “Amesfield Park”, Mornington. The boys were driven from the State school through Frankston in cabs, which were provided by the hosts, to their residence. They were treated to an abundance of good things such as cakes, lollies, fruit and motor rides. Games of all kinds were much appreciated. On leaving the boys gave three cheers for Major and Mrs Campbell. *** As reported in our last issue, Dr Plowman was at the last meeting of the show committee elected treasurer in place of Mr F. G. Chamberlin, who resigned. The chairman, Captain Sherlock, expressed his great regret at Mr Chamberlin’s resignation, and asked members if they thought he would reconsider his decision. It was not thought likely, however, and the resignation was perforce accepted with regret. Mr Chamberlin has held the position for about 12 years, and always carried out his duties in a most satisfactory and faithful manner. *** There was only a moderate attendance at the euchre party and dance
held in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall on Wednesday evening last, in aid of the band uniform fund. A pleasant time was spent, however, and all appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The first prizes in the euchre tournament were annexed by Mr B. Roberts (7 games), and Miss L. Gould
Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and sundries.
(7 games), while Mr and Mrs Verney accounted for the “booby” prizes. After supper had been handed round dancing was commenced. The band, under their energetic bandmaster, Mr E. C. Hammond, rendered several selections in first-class style outside the hall, and under Secretary Guumes,
they played for several dances. The secretary of the ladies committee (Mrs A. C. Millard) and Mr F. Hanton also assisted with the music for the dancing. *** A social evening in connection with the Frankston Branch of the A.W.N.L., was held in the local Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening last. There was a good attendance, Dr Maxwell occupying the chair. A splendid programme by visiting and local artists was gone through, and judging by the applause, each item greatly pleased those present. Mrs Bolitho, the assistant secretary of the League, gave a short address, which was listened to attentively, and at its conclusion the speaker received well merited applause. After the programme had been gone through, supper, provided by the ladies, was handed round, and was thoroughly enjoyed. Dancing was then indulged in for a couple of hours. The next social under the auspices a of the A.W.N.L. is being eagerly looked forward to. *** Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and sundries. *** Miss Emily Meredith, surgeondentist, of Chapel Street, Prahran, intimates by advertisement that she will receive patients at Mr J. Nott Marsh’s office, Frankston, every Saturday, between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. ***
The recently built Municipal tea rooms, which are to be taken charge of by Mrs Jacobs and Misses Laurissen and Myers, are to be opened by the President of the Shire (Cr J. D. Hodgins) this (Saturday) afternoon, at 4 o’clock. The public are cordially invited to the opening ceremony. *** A man named Neil O’Conner, who was arrested by Constable Montgomery on Sunday last, for being drunk, was fined 5s. On Tuesday the same constable arrested a man, named Thos Bamford, and he was fined 5s for being drunk and 10s for using insulting words. *** Mr T. S. Marshall, Chief Officer of the Country Fire Brigades’ Board, has forwarded the following satisfactory report to the Frankston brigade, after having inspected that place a week or two ago:- There was a fairly good muster for inspection, 11 members out of 16 being present. As this brigade has to depend entirely on its manual engine for fire extinction purposes, I paid special attention to practices suitable for that appliance, and as the night was a fine one we did, all the work outside. My new engine practices for five and three men were explained, and they were carried out intelligently and smartly. The disabled hose practice, which is a good as one for one man, especially for young men to carry out, was entered in too with great keenness. This brigade is under good management. The captain and his officers are capable and experiences firemen, and the rank and file and fire are all workers.

The item at the top of my bucket list By Stuart McCullough TRAVEL – when done properly – is much like warfare. The element of the surprise should always be paramount. Whether you’re hooking the caravan to the back of the car and heading to Merimbula or invading France, no one should ever know you’re coming. That’s why you must always begin in the dead of night. The similarities between holidays and ground-based military incursions don’t end there. As kids, not only did holidays begin with us being ripped from our slumber in the dead of night, we were also forced to wear fatigues and camouflage paint. Little wonder people thought we were weird. Nothing pleased my father more than an early start. It was as though tearing his family out of bed before the sun had begun to think about rising was an achievement on par with memorising the Encyclopedia Britannica or building a replica of the city of Venice entirely out of used Paddle Pop sticks while blindfolded. Ideally, he’d want us to reach Albury by breakfast. Aside from paramilitary clothing, we were each allowed a bag, our pillow and some kind of personal item to make the long journey ahead seem just that little bit shorter. But there was one item that always travelled with us, whenever we left Tyabb and ventured into the far wider world. As we were buckled into our seats at four o’clock in the morning, our parents would do a quick check. Should we set off without somebody’s tooth-
brush, we could always buy another one. If someone forgot their pillow, that was just bad luck. We could even leave one of my siblings back in the house and – depending on how far we’d already travelled – it was a fiftyfifty proposition as to whether we’d return. But we never went anywhere without an empty ice cream container. Once it would have held litres of
delicious ice cream. Chances are, it would have been Neapolitan – the most democratic and even-handed of all the ice-cream flavours. But once rinsed, the now-empty ice-cream container would be relocated to the van and re-christened, ‘the Chuck Bucket’ or, ‘the Bucket’ for short. Oddly enough, ‘the Bucket’ was also the original name given to the Nissan
E-20, before the powers that be decided it would be easier to market an affordable people-mover if it sounded like a strain of e-coli rather than something you might water the plants with. The Chuck Bucket, however, served a very different purpose and was always on hand in the event that something should go wrong. That’s because ‘the Bucket’ served one purpose and one purpose only – it existed solely in the event that one us should feel like throwing up. There is something about long-distance travel that never fails to induce nausea. Sometimes travel sickness is caused by foolishly attempting to read when the road is winding or the surface uneven. On other occasions, we would feel sick because we were forced to consume tablets that were intended to prevent motion sickness but, in an irony that must surely have become apparent during the testing stage, invariably made you want to throw up. Whatever the cause, the Chuck Bucket was always on hand. The responsibility for demanding the Bucket rested with each individual. In the event that you felt something begin to stir in the pit of your stomach, you were expected to request ‘the Bucket’. Any such request would set off a flurry of activity in which various brothers and sisters would scramble to find the empty ice cream container and move it in to position before the technicolour yawn had a chance to begin. However, a request for the bucket should not be confused with a request
to stop the vehicle. Indeed, my father would always plough on, firmly believing that the only circumstance that would necessitate pulling the car over would be to empty the bucket. Until then, it was full steam ahead. My sister, Rebecca, holds the alltime record in our family. We were heading up to Queensland or driving some other great distance that, by rights, ought to be well beyond a Nissan E-20 and had been woken up thirty-seven minutes after being sent to bed. Our father was muttering something about ‘beating the traffic’ and we were quickly dressed in our fatigues, forced to eat travel sickness tablets and apply camouflage makeup. Safely buckled up, we began the marathon journey. However, we were yet to reach the end of the drive before my sister requested ‘the Bucket’ and proceeded to send the travel sickness tablets back from whence they came. Suffice to say, my father had to pull over the car. When I eventually bought a car of my own, I made sure there was oil in engine, a spare tyre in the boot and an empty ice-cream container in the backseat. At that time, I had no need for four litres of Neapolitan ice cream. I simply needed a Chuck Bucket of my very own. It seemed quite an adult thing to do. These days, I no longer carry an empty bucket in case of emergency. I doubt my father does either. His ice cream containers now only hold ice cream. As well they should. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.
Bow to the King of Sorrento PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO’S AJ King almost single-handedly bowled Sorrento to victory against MT ELIZA in Provincial cricket on Saturday. The opening paceman bowled 31 overs for the Sorras and finished with 15 maidens and sensational figures of 6/43. The Mounties were chasing just 175 for victory after their bowlers did a great job last week against one of the league’s best. However, despite batting 92.1 overs on Saturday, the Mounties could only muster 160. King was well supported by Nick Davern, who bowled 22 overs for a return of 2/41, while Ryan O’Connor snared 1/33 from 22.1 overs. The Mounties got away to a superb
start, the opening pair of Ben Tracy (27) and Tom Ewing (55no) getting 64 on the board before King struck. What followed were four quick wickets and the Mounties were on the back foot at 5/107. Tom Baron offered some resistance at the end but lacked support. Sorrento maintains its position on top of the table, eight points clear of Mornington and now 20 points clear of Langwarrin in third place. BAXTER was back to its best with the ball once again on Saturday against old foe PENINSULA OLD BOYS, knocking the home side over for just 162. Chasing 234 for victory, the Old Boys were never in the hunt, thanks largely to the efforts of Baxter opening bowlers Dale Irving and Adrian Mack. Irving claimed 3/50 from 12 overs
while Mack was back from his hamstring strain and bowled 20 overs and finished with figures of 3/33. Ben Smith also snared 3/33 from 14 overs, giving him 10 scalps for the season. Jon Forrest was the only Old Boys batsman who looked comfortable, top scoring with 44, while Cameron Macauley again proved he was a handy lower order bat, scoring 26. MOOROODUC was never in the hunt against LONG ISLAND in their match. Set a whopping 410 for victory, the Ducs were rolled for just 131, the Islanders’ Andrew Tweddle was at his best with 6/32. The Williams boys, Nick and Ben, top scored for the Ducs with 33 and 32 respectively. CRIB POINT sits in fourth place on the ladder after smashing MT
MARTHA in an outright victory. The Magpies were only three runs from victory at the close of play on Day 1 after dismissing the home side for just 118. The Pies raced to 9/157 off 45 overs before sending the Reds back into bat. Mt Martha scored just 95 in 46.2 overs in its second dig, Brad Davidson picking up four wickets for the Pies, Glenn Barclay three wickets and Luke Herrington a couple. Left with just 50-odd runs to score to claim the outright win, the Pies scored 5/60 in 16.4 overs. RYE was unable to take advantage of the wonderful work from its bowlers in week one of their match against HEATHERHILL. The Demons dismissed the Hills for 125 on day one but were reeling at 3/45 overnight. Things didn’t get much better on
day two, the Demons rolled for just 116. At one stage, the Demons were 7/116, needing just 10 runs with three wickets and had plenty of overs in hand. However, Meagher claimed 3/0 to wrap things up. Of his eight wickets, three were lbw and two were bowled. Matty Meagher was simply superb for the Hills, the skipper claiming 8/56 from 23 overs, giving him 21 wickets for the season, along with 127 runs, batting in the middle order. MORNINGTON finished off LANGWARRIN by chasing down the 150 needed for victory. The Doggies didn’t have things all their own way during the day but did finish comfortable winners, scoring 9/231.
Close attention: Hastings battled back against Carrum to win their one-day District match.
Braves still alive after Flinders win DISTRICT By IT Gully BADEN POWELL picked up a much-needed win against FLINDERS to keep its District season well and truly alive. In a very closely contested season after five rounds, the win sees the Braves in the middle order on the ladder, just a game outside of the top four. Things didn’t look great for the Braves at the beginning of the day, resuming at 3/38, chasing just 123 for victory. However, a number of batsmen got starts for Baden Powell and it was enough to get them to 179. Josh Waldron top scored with 36, Blake Hillman scored 24 batting at nine and Sam Mullavey dug deep in the middle order to score 23.
PAGE 34
Flinders used eight different bowlers to try and force a result their way. Matt Burns was the best of them with 4/42 from 19.2 overs. MAIN RIDGE pulled-off a sensational victory against SOMERVIILE to sneak into the top four. The Ridge were in all sorts of trouble overnight against the Eagles, resuming at 3/22. Chasing 190 for victory, things looked grim for the home side. However, a 128-run partnership between skipper Brendan Rossborough (64) and league legend Gareth Wyatt (76) turned the match on its head. A couple of quick wickets swung the game back in Somerville’s favour momentarily with the score at 6/167. But then the home side steadied. Michael Holmes (37) was a handy bat to have coming in at seven and together
Southern Peninsula News 3 December 2013
with James Abbott (14), they steered the Ridge to victory. Jack Kennedy and Russell Wilkes each claimed three wickets for the Eagles. HASTINGS came from nowhere to pick up the 12 points against CARRUM in their one-day clash. The Blues batted first and scrambled to 96 after at one stage being 5/15. Luke Hewitt came to the rescue with 45 for the Blues in the middle order to at least give the bowlers a target to bowl to. The Lions then lost their final five wickets for 20 runs to fall four runs short of victory. Isuru Dias claimed 4/16 for the Blues while Mitch Floyd and Hewitt picked up two wickets each. Josh Dent top scored for the Lions with 28. PINES sits comfortably in the top
bracket after an effortless victory against SEAFORD. After scoring 266 in week one of the match (Ricky Ramsdale 80), the Piners then went about rattling the Tigers’ cages, dismissing them for just 92. After doing the job with the bat, Ramsdale was at his best with the ball also, snaring 3/17 from 13 overs, while Nick Wilcox and Pat Jackson each took a couple of wickets. In their second dig, Pines finished at 4/131, Jeremy Weare top scoring with an unbeaten 39. DELACOMBE PARK sits at the top of the District table after picking up an easy outright win against BALLAM PARK. The Parkers dismissed the Knights for 97 last week and were 1/44 overnight. The visitors quickly got to 6/195
with Chris Brittain scoring 56, Andrew Christides 32 and Shane Deal an unbeaten 31. The Knights were back at the crease for just 34 overs before they were rolled again for 81. Brittain snared 4/33, Brett Chard 2/8 in his return game for his junior club and Virun Singh and Shane Deal two wickets each. Chris Brittain has 19 wickets and 177 runs for the season. SEAFORD TIGERS had little trouble getting the 12 points against BONEO. Defending 8/294, the Tigers bowled out Boneo for just 129. Corey Hand was again superb with 4/25 from 16 overs while David James helped himself to 3/18. Ryan Jellie top scored for Boneo with 37.
SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard
No falling for Skye SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully SKYE is in third place on the Sub District table after easily accounting for FRANKSTON YCW on Saturday. Defending 208 for victory, Skye was always in control of the match and eventually bowled out the home side for 162. Teenager Jack Greenwood was a shining light for the Stonecats with an unbeaten 70. Unfortunately for the 18-year-old opener, he ran out of partners along the way. Luke Hutchison tried to offer some support and resistance, scoring 31. Rob Bedford was bowled by Paul Fillipone for eight and Jason Bedford was Fillipone’s second victim. Ben Milano was the best of the Skye bowlers with 3/26, Pat Clinch finished with 3/46 and Leigh Smith and Fillipone snared two each. Despite the loss, the Stonecats are still just a game outside the top four. PEARCEDALE kept its season alive by beating ROSEBUD. The Panthers scored 9/203 in week one of their match and their bowlers backed up that good work on Saturday. The Buds were bowled out for 173, Kaine Smith claiming 4/36 for the Panthers and Shayne Gillings taking 4/54.
RED HILL maintains its position at the top of the ladder after a strong victory against TYABB. In a highly entertaining one day match, the Hillmen batted first and scored 6/164 from its 40 overs. Simon Dart was the chief run scorer with an unbeaten 69, while Glenn Collett scored 33. Luke Rus was the best of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 3/20 from seven overs. The Yabbies started slowly in the chase, losing 4/31, before Steven Hall (42) and Sam Taranto provided them with some hope. Brent Martin stepped up to the plate for the Hillmen though with the ball, claiming 4/38. Eventually, the Yabbies were bowled out 10 runs short for 154. CARRUM DOWNS and DROMANA also played a cliffhanger one-day match. The Hoppers batted first and would have been reasonably happy with the 4/159 from 40 overs. However, the Cougars were up for the batting challenge and got the winning runs in the final over. Josh Harkness top scored for Carrum Downs with 55 and Stuart Putson provided great support with 33. In the final match, TOOTGAROOK got the 89 runs needed to beat BALNARRING.
Dunes golfers shoot it out for top medal titles THE Dunes Medal, featuring Australia’s best amateur golfers, was held over four days last week at The Dunes Golf Links. In a thrilling final round, played in testing conditions, Anthony Houston (5 under) from Kingswood Golf Club finished one shot clear of Commonwealth’s Zach Murray and Queenslander Taylor MacDonald (4 under). Houston battled back from making double-bogey on the 14th by chipping in for eagle on 16. Australian representative MacDonald then made a double-bogey himself on the 17th to hand the outright lead to Houston which he never relinquished. Houston followed in the footsteps of past champions including Jason Day, Kieran Pratt and Bryden Macpherson. In the ladies event world number 2 Minjee Lee from Western Australia produced a stunning performance to win by 9 strokes from Victorian Bianca Ling and another Western Australian, Hira Naveed. Winning duo: Kingwood Golf Club’s Anthony Houston and Western Australia’s Minjee Lee won the mens and ladies trophies at The Dunes Medal event.

The Saviour reigns, Let men their songs employ, While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

WE THE KINGS We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, moor and mountain Following yonder star

O star of wonder etc. Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh, Prayer and praising, all men raising Worship Him, God most high.
O star of wonder etc. Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom, Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O star of wonder etc. Glorious now behold him arise, King and God sacrifice, Alleluia, alleluia Earth to heaven replies

GIFT GUIDE 2013 HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING Hark! The herald angels sing Glory to the new born King Peace on Earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconsiled. Joyful , all ye nations rise Join the triumph from the skies; With the angelic host proclaim, ‘Christ is born in Bethlehem’. Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the new born King!”
WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord cam down, And glory shone around. “Fear not!” he said, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled minds “Glad tidings for great joy I bring To you and all mankind.”
Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold him come Offspring of a virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel. Hark! the herald angels sing “Glory to the new born King!”
“To you David’s town this day Is born of David’s line The saviour who is Christ the Lord; And shall be the sign.” “The heavenly babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands And in a manger laid.”
Hail! The heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail! The Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to rise raise the songs of Earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing “Glory to the new born King!”
“All glory be to God on high, And to the Earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men Begin and never cease.”
