Blue Light gift puts pupils in ball park SMACK! Wallaroo Primary School pupil Jalelyn lashes out at a pitch during a game between Hastings police and pupils going on to secondary school. Wednesday’s game followed a $750 donation from Hastings Blue Light Disco to finance a worthwhile project at the school. But what should they buy with it? Principal Nicky Fammartino said a teacher suggested using the money for baseball gear because he was keen to teach it and the school didn’t have any. Hey presto: The gear, and the match, was a goer. Hastings Blue Light co-ordinator Senior Constable Genine Isted said the “great day was enjoyed by all”. “Wallaroo Primary School asked if l could put a team of police together to play a friendly game against the kids so they can ‘show off’ their new uniforms and equipment,” she said. “It was a fantastic example of how the Hastings Blue Light Disco gives back to, and benefits, the youth within the local community.” Picture: Yanni
Anger over dumped files Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FILES containing sensitive personal details of 37 men and women have been found dumped on a nature strip at Somerville. The details were provided to a gymnasium on handwritten “athlete’s personal profile” forms. The dumped paperwork, which comes from a gymnasium, also includes invoices and notes detailing how much money has been paid to employees, including the manager’s take
home pay. The files were contained in a pink plastic bag, one of several left next to a rubbish bin outside a factory in Speedwell St. The owner of the factory said the bags would probably have remained on the nature strip as the commercial rubbish collection service involved a truck with a mechanical arm emptying wheelie bins. Loose bags of rubbish were not part of the collection service. “I heard a car doing burn-offs outside and then found the bags dumped near our bins,” the manager, who did not wish to be identified, said.
“I was annoyed by the noise and then discovered what the bags contained.” The top file had been filled out by a member of the police force who also belonged to a Western Port area football team. He provided his mother’s name, address and phone number. Another file had details of a Mt Eliza woman whose exercise regime would need to take account of her breast implants. The files have been handed to Hastings police who, the factory manager said, showed little interest until she pointed out that at least one file ap-

peared to list the personal contact details of a police officer. When contacted by The News yesterday (Monday) Hastings police were unable to say if any investigations were underway with regard to the discarded files. While annoying to the individuals concerned, it appears that businesses with annual turnovers of less than $3 million do not generally come under the provisions of the Privacy Act. “There would be 37 very unhappy customers if they knew their details were dumped on a roadside, especially the police officer, by their local friend-
ly gym,” the manager who discovered the files said. “That’s 37 people who have had their security compromised.” The manager said it appeared the gym “wanted to spread some Christmas spirit so had a tidy up in the office and put out their rubbish”. “There were also such details as their business name, address, contact details, wages, tax, monthly turnover, which bank, how much banked, an unpaid account, what type of security they have and that account number and names of staff.” Continued Page 7

Peninsula on map for climate efforts Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula has been recognised internationally as one of “two leading Australian councils” for its efforts to minimise climate change. An invitation for the shire to commit to a Compact of Mayors follows the attendance at this month’s Paris climate talks by the mayor Cr Graeme Pittock, Cr Hugh Fraser and the shire’s renewable resources team leader, Jessica Wingad, who was there to “learn the latest global trends and their potential application locally”. However, two councillors have now publicly criticised the Paris trip as being a waste of time and money. Cr Pittock and Cr Fraser have said they will repay any costs that exceed the $16,000 allowed to be spent over their four-year terms. It is understood that it cost the shire about $6000 for each of its three representatives to attend the United Nations climate change conference (COP21). Countries represented at the talks unanimously approved the COP 21 Paris Agreement which “strives to limit global warming to well below two degrees Celsius, with the intent to pursue a 1.5-degree target”. Cr Pittock said his attendance at the conference ensured “that the voices of local leaders are heard, and city efforts, like those here at Mornington Peninsu-
la Shire Council, are recognised”. The first news release about the talks issued by the shire included verbatim descriptions of Australia’s climate change strategies supplied by the office of Flinders MP and Environment Minister, Greg Hunt. Last Thursday Cr David Garnock, within hours of the shire announcing the Compact of Mayors commitment and efforts already undertaken to achieve carbon neutrality, said it had not been necessary for the mayor to go to Paris to sign up for the compact. “These initiatives are a result of the enthusiasm of all councillors and senior shire officers to protect our precious environment on the peninsula, not as a result of the occasional participation of councillors or shire officers at international conferences,” Cr Garnock said. His comments followed those made in the previous week by Cr Andrew Dixon who claimed a post-Paris public briefing had been organised by the mayor “so that [the public] believe our Paris journey was totally hip and worth it”. Posting on Facebook under the name “Billy Dixon”, Cr Dixon said those at the meeting would be buttered up with “free booze”. “I'm sure we had a phenomenal impact on global energy policies, but you'll hear all about it at our cute little slideshow,” Cr Dixon stated in response to an invitation from the mayor for the public to attend an “open presentation” of the Paris climate talks.
The Compact of Mayors is an agreement drawn up by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability and sees the peninsula sign up with cities such as Copenhagen, New York, Oslo, San Francisco, Buenos Aires and Cape Town. The other Australian municipality is the Western Australian city of Joondalup. The organisation was founded in 1990 as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) when 200 local governments agreed to aim for “sustainable development”. A news release issued by the shire on Thursday states that the shire had "fast-tracked" its way to compliance in a matter of months after years of investment and real action on climate. The process outlined by ICLEI usually takes three years. ICLEI says the Peninsula is undergoing a final audit before being listed on the official compact website. Examples of the shire’s efforts to ward off climate change include working with the CSIRO and the South East Councils Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA) understand the impact of climate change over the next 70 years; using methane gas at the Rye landfill to generate enough electricity to power about 1400 homes; cutting the size of its vehicle fleet; and undertaking such renewable energy projects as buying solar power for 11 community halls and installing solar street lights.
Season’s cheer: Mike O’Grady and Chris Grundy hand out Christmas hampers to Abbey Beckworth and Blake Cross. Picture: Yanni
A Christmas to savour GRATEFUL families and many smiling young faces brought Hastings hall to life last week as part of the Western Port Christmas Giving Program. Four hundred food hampers – weighing in at seven tonnes – as well as 1000 toys and other gifts for children made their Christmas one to savour. Western Port Community Support coordinator Mike O’Grady said the hampers and toys were collected with assistance of the Salvation Army, churches, service organisations, busi-
nesses, schools and individuals from around the Mornington Peninsula. But the real heroes are its volunteers, who run the program and manage the donations. It receives no grants from state or federal governments. “We spent $30,000 on toys, food and hampers, which included $8000 in groceries from Woollies,” he said. The program committee hopes to be able to repeat the effort next Christmas and, possibly, expand it. Steve Taylor

Shire rings in ‘no nonsense’ New Year’s Eve MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will again take a “no entertainment – no nonsense” approach to New Year’s Eve. Working with a community-based steering committee, police, residents and businesses, the shire says it aims to reduce the “negative impacts of celebrations” in the area. “This approach has assisted in providing a safe environment for holiday makers and residents since its introduction more than 10 years ago, in 2001-2002,” shire spokesperson Kat Hodgins said. “The shire aims to make sure the southern peninsula is a safe place for people to enjoy over the New Year period.” Cr Tim Rodgers said the summer holiday period was a great time for residents and visitors to the peninsula. “This strategy is to ensure everyone has a safe and happy New Year’s Eve,” he said. Cr Hugh Fraser: “The shire's community-led New Year’s Eve strategy is about maintaining and promoting a safe, family location for all to enjoy.” There will be no public entertainment, no public fireworks and bans on alcohol in public places will be enforced. No organised public events or activities will be staged on the southern peninsula on New Year’s Eve. Only those who have pre-purchased tickets will be admitted to private venues operating on the night.
Alcohol bans will apply from 30 December to midnight 1 January. The possession of sealed and unsealed containers of liquor in public places is prohibited (unless they are being transported from the point-of-sale to a vehicle or residence for consumption). Glass containers are not permitted in public places. No camping will be allowed in any public park or reserve; all camping in permitted foreshore areas is fully-booked. No public displays of fireworks are allowed on New Year’s Eve. No one is allowed to possess or discharge fireworks without a permit. Fines apply. Discharging flares is prohibited, except in an emergency. People are reminded to be vigilant with fire – especially on the peninsula. More information about fire safety can be found at cfa.vic.gov.au or depi.vic.gov.au Rye carnival will be closed on New Year’s Eve day and night and the Rye pier car park will close at 4pm. Point Nepean Rd between Lyons St and Dundas St, Rye, will be closed 11pm, 31 December to 1am, 1 January at the discretion of police. Detours will be in place. A free, one-way bus service will run from Portsea to Safety Beach stopping at designated bus stops. Security will be on board at all times.

Hawk collects rig and heads out THE oil and gas drilling rig that towered over the low lying foreshore of Phillip Island before appearing to hover for days in the early morning mists of Port Phillip is finally on its way back home to Singapore. With its drilling duties for Origin and Hibiscus Oil in Bass Strait completed, the rig was last week taken on board by the heavy lift vessel Hawk before heading out of Port Phillip on Tuesday.
Equipment was taken from the rig before it was welded to the Hawk’s deck for transport. The 223 metre, 44, 700 tonne Hawk sails at about 12 knots compared with the three knots that would be achieved if the rig was towed by tugs to Singapore. The rig is owned by Seadrill Ltd and is scheduled to be back at its Singapore base in early January. The Hawk is owned by OHT (offshore heavy transport). Picture: Yanni

Dumped files Continued from Page 1 A 20-year-old woman contacted by the The News said she was outraged to learn that her file had been dumped, adding that she had not been to the gym for some months. “This is absolutely terrible. I’m sure I signed some sort of privacy agreement and certainly didn’t want any of my personal details distributed.” The factory manager who found the gym’s files said a $30 shredder “would have solved this”. “The dumpers need to do more workouts in the gym as they could not even lift the lid on either [of our] bins to put rubbish in. “They should not have drawn attention to themselves when illegally dumping by doing snakes and smoking burnouts when departing.” The policeman, 25, told The News the dumping of his personal details was “not something I would have expected. It surprises me; they seem to be pretty professional”. Although he had not attended the gym because of a sporting injury for a about a month, the 25-year-old said he planned to return there in the New Year. He said privacy laws had been tightened, especially with regard to those working in occupations such as law enforcement. “It’s not ideal and it’s not really what you’d expect,” he said. The gym owner, who was annoyed that The News would publish anything about the discarded files, said he had no idea how they had come to be dumped outside a Somerville factory. “This is extremely strange, I don’t know how the files got there,” the man said. “I haven’t got a clue.” The gym owner said he regularly took files home “in the back of my ute” and would dump them in bins at a sporting club. “I have not given them to anyone else. I’d have to be extremely stupid [to dump them on a nature strip], this is too bizarre.” The gym owner said he did not have a shredder.
Time out with dogs, children THERE is an old adage in television about not working with kids or animals, but that is exactly what Mt Eliza Rotary Club plans to do next year for its two main fundraising events. On Sunday 6 March the club will hold its Dogs in the Park expo, with plenty of family fun and many “not too serious” competitions for dogs and their owners. There will be food and coffee stalls, face painting for children and an animal farm 11am-2.30pm at the John Butler Reserve, Mt Eliza. Entry is free and there will be a small fee for participation in the various events. On Sunday 17 April, 10am-1pm
the Rotary club, in conjunction with the Mornington Railway Preservation Society, is conducting its inaugural Kids Fun Run With K163. Up to 300 children aged up to 12 years will race the historic steam engine K163 alongside a small section of track now being prepared at Moorooduc station. Mt Eliza Rotary president Bernie Edwards says the two fundraising events are designed to provide fun and entertainment for the children, families and friends. “Their presence will help to support Rotary's ongoing community efforts so everyone is a winner,” he said.

Restaurant staff loss hard to swallow Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE owner of Sorrento restaurant Acquolina Brett Johnson admits to being “shell-shocked� at the defection of 13 experienced kitchen staff to rival, The Sisters Kitchen Garden Cafe. Their surprise departure last week has forced the temporary closure of his and partner Maria Grazia Baiguini’s fine dining restaurant at the busiest time of the year and caused a spat between the two popular eateries. “We simply can’t find staff at this late stage so it was better to close temporarily and reopen on Boxing Day,� Mr Johnson said. “We will re-open and do something simple, such as serving fresh lasagne, ravioli, risotto and pasta plates.� While on his regular visits to Italy Mr Johnson arranges for Italian staff to work at Acquolina and arranges accommodation. He said the visitors were free to work elsewhere as long as it didn’t affect their roles at Acquolina. However this year the system appears to have broken down and the staff have defected and found other places to stay through their new employer. “The Italians often worked elsewhere out of hours and the arrangement had seemed to be working well,� Sorrento chamber of commerce vice-president Marc Clavin said. “Now that seems to have been undone.� The spirit of cooperation among the town’s traders following the razing of The Baths restaurant late October has been shattered at the start of the six-weeks in which they make two-thirds of their yearly take.
Mr Clavin said the loss of The Baths had left Acquolina as one of the few fine dining restaurants in the town “and now it’s a tragedy that another one in the main street has been lost�. “Brett and Maria are right in the middle of the strip and the potential knock-on effect to other businesses is of concern.� In the short term, Mr Johnson says Acquolina’s trading hours will be 11am-9pm rather than only at night, and revert to its former style and times in February. “It’s certainly been a stressful time and my Christmas cheer level did drop a notch, but we have begun to come out the other side,� Mr Johnson said. “There’s no animosity; we are looking forward now, not back.� Mr Johnson saying his restaurant usually did 35 per cent of its trade in December. “We should be working together in such a small town rather than fighting each other,� he said. Pippa Robinson, of The Sisters, denies “poaching� staff from her up-market rival, and says only five of the 13 made the move. “We are only open for breakfast and lunch and they open for dinner, so I really don’t know what the issue is,� she said. “I got texts from all their [Acquolina’s] staff asking me for jobs here. “Brett [Johnson] came to see me and made a scene and said I had stolen his staff. I said, ‘No, they came over to me voluntarily. “They said they had all been fired, so there was no poaching.� In the wake of the staffing row, Ms Robinson said The Sisters was expecting to open for dinner from Boxing Day onwards.
Change of style: Acquolina’s Brett Johnson and Maria Grazia Baiguini plan to reopen on Boxing Day with more simple fare before reverting to fine dining in February. Picture: Yanni

Family day lead-in for Auskisk season A SOMERVILLE Auskick Access All Abilities Family Day in March will feature live bands, rides, market stalls, free kids’ activities and dance performances. The free day will be held 10am-9pm on the Labour Day Weekend at the Fruitgrowers Reserve, Somerville. The day is being presented by Somerville Auskick to bring together members of the community to showcase the local area and the talent available. Proceeds raised this year, at what’s
hoped will become an annual event, will help initiate the Somerville Auskick Access All Abilities program. Coordinator Felix Arena said organisers were seeking sponsors for the family day, an audiovisual system for the stage, stallholders for the market (with places from $50), performers to play on stage, volunteers to help on the day and printing for programs and flyers. The NAB Somerville Auskick program is becoming an accredited Auskick
centre next year. “This step consolidates our aim of becoming a completely inclusive centre,” Mr Arena said. “We want to ensure that children of all abilities can enjoy some outdoor time playing the game they love. “We also hope to provide parents with the chance to enjoy the thrill of seeing their child taking a mark or kicking a goal while having fun with their friends. “We are excited by the prospect of being able to give parents and their chil-
dren an opportunity to join in the standard Auskick program, while offering a dedicated all-abilities group should they feel more comfortable. “The key to our program is that the children are free to move from the AAA group into their age group when they feel comfortable, or, should they feel the need to move back into the AAA group, they are able to do that as well.” The weekly Auskick season starts 16 April, with sessions 9am Saturdays.

As a photographer, he uses all this knowledge to compose scenes through a camera lens. “I’ve built up a strong connection with the Mornington Peninsula’s coastal and marine environment,” he says. “My main focus is on nature and landscape photography, that’s what inspires me photographically and it’s where like to spend much of my time.” Mackay says this connection to the environment is necessary to “truly capture its essence”. “I can’t imagine living away from the sight, sound and smell of the ocean and, being a narrow peninsula, we’re fortunate to be surrounded by both the pounding waves of the Southern Ocean and the calmer tranquil waters of Port Philip. “We’re also very fortunate to have much of this spectacular coastline within the Mornington Peninsula and Point Nepean national parks, providing sanctuary to a range of native flora and fauna. “With such a diverse landscape
and coastline the peninsula offers endless possibilities and inspiration for a nature and landscape photographer like me.” Some of Mackay’s images are now reproduced in his 2016 Mornington Peninsula Calendar. “It’s a way to showcase the region’s beauty and diverse landscape,” he says. “It came as no surprise when National Geographic placed the peninsula on its Best of the World – 20 Places You Should See in 2015 list.” Mackay’s calendar includes images from all over the peninsula, has the Port Philip Heads monthly tide chart on each page and lists market dates and other useful information. He says he “tried to produce the most environmentally-friendly calendar-printed in Australia” by using 100 per cent recycled paper and waterless printing.

LETTERS Shocking losses The article “Gamblers lose $79m to peninsula pokies” (The News 17/11/15) makes for distressing reading. Behind those figures are many devastated families affected by gambling on poker machines. Maybe many people are not aware that one of the biggest poker machine owners in our area is Woolworths supermarkets. The very company that trades on family values owns 12,000 poker machines and is earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from some of the poorest regions because of the concentration of its poker machines in low income areas. In my nearest township alone, Somerville, $5.7 million of was lost in one hotel controlled by the supermarket just around the corner, Woolworths. But there is a way we can use our consumer power to make a protest about the scourge of poker machines in our society. Many people like me may choose to boycott Woolworths and therefore send a clear message to them that we think a company that supposedly cares about families shouldn’t be involved in poker machines. Geoff Selby, Moorooduc
Talk costs worthwhile The attendance of councillors and staff at the Paris climate change talks in Paris was money well spent and will provide some valuable local insights into how climate change will impact the Mornington Peninsula in particular, and the Port Phillip region in general. Australia, with the highest per capita emissions of all OECD countries, was dragged kicking and screaming to the negotiation table in Paris, and it was seen that the Australian government was extremely reluctant to make any concessions to reduce emissions from Australia’s fossil fuelled economy. The intransigence, incompetence and grossly inadequate carbon abatement policies of the government, particularly those propagandised by Environment Minister Greg Hunt, illustrates that the federal government’s actions are absolutely useless
when it comes to reducing carbon emissions. Future emissions reductions will come mainly from local and regional initiatives such as solar and wind. The big fossil fuel burners who the government supports, will continue to pollute over many decades. The government is committed to delay and obfuscation, preferring coal over renewable energy. Everyone will suffer. Many of your correspondents do not understand this, and castigate the council for taking action on the local implications of climate change. Unless members of the community take action to curb their affluent lifestyle and take responsibility for reducing their carbon footprint, current federal government policies will invariably lead to increased and unsustainable resource consumption, higher energy use and more carbon emissions. Right around Australia, many local governments provide leadership and beneficial community projects to reduce carbon emissions, and provide local opportunities. We should expect no less from the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Its recent carbon neutral strategy and overseas fact finding are necessary first steps. Councillors now need to walk the talk, involve the community and allocate significant community project budget funds. Ken Dyer, Rosebud
Staying on topic Michael G Free (“Wasted words”, The News 15/12/15) must think when it comes to replies in the newspapers that one size fits all. Michael G Free, apart from the heading and date, sent the very same letter some weeks ago in reply to my comments on climate change. This time, he’s a little bit closer to the topic. Michael G Free doesn’t have to lecture me about how politics operate as I was involved with a political party for some years down here. He is right, the major parties do control the Lower House most time, but, sometimes independents, these (“Blowhards and single issue parties”, his words) get in on single issues and can sway a decision one way or the other by doing deals with said major parties.
Peninsula plovers A big thank you to the teacher volunteers from The Peninsula School, Mt Eliza, who visited peninsula ocean beaches to do a beach clean last Wednesday. After a briefing by Parks Victoria, it was off to gather rubbish from Rye, St Andrews and Gunnamatta ocean beaches with members of Friends of the Hooded Plover.
This is territory of the endangered hooded plover, the peninsula’s true local, a shorebird that desperately need our help to survive. Chick numbers are declining rapidly and suffer from many threats, such as foxes and dogs wandering loose in Mornington Peninsula National Park. Rubbish can be another threat to shorebirds. The teachers spent all day collecting rubbish and learning about the endangered birds. Graeme Millar, Friends of the Hooded Plover
But, the Upper House is different as it has proportional representation where single issue parties can get in on one per cent of the vote, such as Ricky Muir along with others in the Senate and the Sex Party in the Legislative Assembly (the Upper House) thanks to the “preference whisperer” who instructed these candidates to swap preferences. So, these people can change policies to get what they want. Michael G Free mentions lost causes, including Tassells Creek and Blue Wedges, but, he
fails to mention the successes: Rosebud marina, fail; SPA on the Rosebud foreshore, fail; East West Link, fail. Incidentally, I had claimed there was a $400 million debt to all Victorians thanks to the Napthine government but only last week, he debt has blown out to $1.1 billion. Which brings me back to my point, which Michael G Free didn’t address: We need to be a marginal seat. And, also to Michael G Free, I have never written a letter to our Clayton’s environment minister, nor do I intend to. John Cain, McCrae

Govt rules in councils ANALYSIS By David Harrison THE state government’s recent move to tighten rules to control councillors and council staff raises some interesting issues, the basic one being: how much control should one level of government have over another? And secondly, how much control should council bureaucrats have over councillors? If, for example, federal politicians enacted a law giving them the power to stand down or suspend state MPs, how would the “inferior” state legislature react? Yet the Andrews government, through Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins, intends to do precisely this with new laws to “strengthen local governance and reduce councillor misconduct”. The legislation received Royal assent in late October. Local government was already stringently controlled through Part 4 of the Local Government Act and by councillor codes of conduct, also dealt with by the Act. Councillors are also effectively controlled in part by the democratic process and by the government’s power to suspend entire councils who misbehave. The latest changes appear, to this lay reader anyway, to point to a tightening of bureaucratic council power over the people elected to be councillors. Other statements in the release strengthen this interpretation. For example: “The Minister for Local Government will receive new powers, including the option to recommend to the Governor in Council that a councillor be stood down if … the councillor has been accused of serious or gross misconduct … Is it enough for a councillor simply to be “accused” for him or her to be excluded from the chamber for “up to six months”, unable to vote on matters vital in local communities? What if the councillor is later to be found innocent of the accusation? “Oops – sorry.” As well, “the minister is … empowered to
appoint municipal monitors and to issue governance directions to councils”. Mention is also made of “independent councillor conduct panels”. Appointed by who? With what powers? Such apparently draconian and anti-democratic new controls, now approved to be exercised on the basis of “guilty before being proved guilty” – anathema in English law for half a millennium – extends the indirect power currently wielded by the deplorable Local Government Inspectorate. A recent case here in the shire prevented a councillor from voting on such a vital issue for several years. The new powers appear to have similar political repercussions: one accusation and you’re unable to vote. It was a disgraceful example of the inspectorate’s leisurely approach to justice and democracy – it welcomes and acts on complaints that can be made anonymously – and, in the view of many (including this writer), this case should have resulted in an investigation of the inspectorate’s performance and the necessity of its continuing existence. No doubt the inspectorate slumbers on in a suite of expensive offices somewhere at the top end of town, relaxed as a koala in the comfortable fork of a gum tree. It appears Ms Hutchins has succumbed to deputations of mayors and “councils, peak bodies and communities”, who have convinced her that the changes were “desperately needed”. Her own media release of 28 October belies much of what she has had enacted. It concludes: “While overall misconduct among Victoria’s 79 councils is rare, it is vital that our governance frameworks are robust and ready to deal with misconduct.” What is desperately needed is for Ms Hutchins and the government she serves to respect local government and to expedite its efficient operation by use of the carrot, not the stick. That would be a refreshing change of direction for the party of local government branch-stackers and deal-doers.

Useable art: Recliner chairs and table made by wine barrel artist Carl Smith.
Barrel art display, sale at show THE News Mornington Art Show opening on Thursday 21 January and running through to Australia Day will feature a display and sale of recycled oak barrel furniture. The concept of creating quality furniture from used wine barrels is a creative initiative of Frankston based furniture maker Carl Smith. After completing school and working in the construction industry for more than decade, Mr Smith decided on a career change to capitalise on his passion for working with wood. On seeing a fruit bowl made from the staves of a used wine barrel at Christmas a few years ago he realised he wanted to pursue this area of manufacture. From there he formed Barrel Art Designs and, over the past two or three years, he has developed the concept with more than 40 designs in his product range.
From simple wine-glass-and-bottle holders, serving boards and clocks, through to tables, bar stools, wine racks and the popular range of “loafer chairs”, Mr Wood’s designs have a timeless, rustic appeal. Mostly made from oak, the products are strong and durable. He has regular stalls at Red Hill, Mornington and Yarra Glen craft markets, and his work can also be found in selected galleries and art shows. The work of this young designer/furniture maker will feature on stage at the Mornington Art Show. Opening night on Thursday 21 January will have a party atmosphere. The Bakery Trio jazz group will provide some cool music to accompany gourmet finger food and refreshments. Tickets for the gala opening night can be purchased on line at morningtonartshow.com.au or at Farrell’s Bookshop.

ESTABLISHED in 1976, Silvers Circus provides world class family entertainment and fun. With extraordinary artists continually arriving from all parts of the world, Silvers are proud of the ever-changing program they are able to present. After nearly three decades on the road, Silvers is a household name in Australia. They still maintain the sparkle, glamour and death-defying acts expected of Australia’s premier circus. The 2 hour action-packed show, featuring Ringmaster and Master of Illusions Simon Tait, will also include the Wheel of Steel. A young man with nerves of Steel, Dominik Gasser will run, jump, skip and flip through a routine of sheer physical audacity. Its wheels oscillate and revolve from ground level to dizzying heights – such a spectacle is bound to leave you chewing your nails and squirming in your seats. Also... clowns. Expect the unexpected. They’re guaranteed to tickle the funny bone, as is the circus’ latest addition to their repertoire of physical and comedic exploits. It’s called the Bicycle Act. Justin Valise, its demonstrator, is a professional idiot, specialising in stupidity and acrobatics on a bicycle. Trained at the school of hard knocks and inspired by Murphy’s Law (what can go wrong will go wrong), Justin has created an act that wrestles with the unexpected and really raises the bar. With hard work and some measure of good fortune, Justin has managed to combine the theatricality of a modern day fool with the physical skills of an acrobat to create distinctive and engaging entertainment. For tickets to 2016’s Silvers Circus, see Ticketmaster or call the circus direct on 0413 880 044 or 0400 456 157.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Frankston post office phone stops Compiled by Melissa Walsh WITH this issue we present our readers with a sheet almanac for 1916. *** THE room heater raffled by Mrs C Grant, for the Somerville Red Cross Society, was won by Miss Nellie Bell. *** THE annual balance sheet of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings is published on the fourth part of this issue. *** “THE liquor traffic is the most powerful as it is one of the most degrading agencies for making money by the corruption of one’s fellow creatures.” —Right Hon Lord Milner, G.C.B. *** ACCORDING to our usual custom, in order that our employees may have a little relaxation at this season, there will be no issue of the Standard on 1st January, the next issue being published on the 8th. *** A public meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston on Monday evening next to consider the proposed discontinuance of the continuous telephone service at the Frankston Post Office. *** THE Fancy Fair in aid of the local Catholic Church will be opened in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on New Year’s Eve and again on New Year’s Night, when there will be any
amount of amusement for young and old. *** AT the garden fete held at Somerville, on Saturday afternoon last, Miss Mabel Clare of Melbourne, kindly gave her services as palmist. The raffles were all drawn under the supervision of Mr A. G. Carver. *** WE are pleased to note in “the Corian”, the journal of the Geelong Grammar School, that Sidney Plowman, son of Dr Plowman, won the sixth form handicap in Gymnastics and was second in the Gymnastics Senior Championship of the school. He also gained the upper sixth form prize in science, Division 11, Chemistry. *** MRS Coyle acknowledges further donations to the Langwarrin Dinner: —Mrs Deane,10s 6d ; Mrs Rimmer, 10s 6d; Mr Coxall, 10s 6d; Mrs Jacobs, 5s ; Mrs Errington, 2s ; Mrs Foster; 10s ; Mr Tipping, £1 ; Mr Lightfoot; 10s; Mrs Pidgeon, 10s; Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd., £2 2s ; Mrs Cohen, 5 tins tobacco ; Mr J. B. Jolly £1 1s; Mrs Twinning, 5s; Well wisher, 5s. *** THE official re-opening of the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall will be performed on Friday afternoon next, at 3 o’clock, by Cr Geo Griffeth, President of the Shire. A luncheon will follow, and in the evening an entertainment will be given by the past and present pupils of Somer-
ville State School, to be followed by a dance. The whole of the proceeds will go towards defraying the expense incurred in the additions to the building. *** SPLENDID entries have been received for the annual Athletic Sports to be held in the Frankston Park on New Year’s Day. In another column we publish the handicaps of the principal events, which have filled remarkably well. The wood chops should attract more than usual attention, through some of our best axmen being entered, and taking the programme as a whole a most enjoyable day’s sport should be the result. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Branch of the Red Cross Society was held on Tuesday evening, December 21st, 1915. The secretary, in presenting the 9th monthly report stated that they had just completed 1,000 articles during the 9 months, besides sending £50 in cash, 72lbs weight of old linen (and 150 sugar bags to the Lady Mayoress) they had also helped in the Luna Park Carnival, by sale of tickets etc. At the close of the meeting, Mrs Barber, in a very neat speech, presented the President, Secretary, and Cutter with an appropriate present, in recognition of the work they had done in connection with the Red Cross society. The secretary, in response, thanked Mrs Barber for the kindly thought, it
was so unexpected, which made it all the more appreciated, and although they had done their best, they had not done as much as Mrs Barber, who had given her three sons. She recognised the war was only to be won by sacrifice. *** ON Wednesday evening next, the St Paul’s Dramatic Club, assisted by a number of our leading amateur vocalists and instrumentalists will produce, with complete costume and scene effects, and a full chorus, the entertaining musical comedy “A trial by jury.” As this will be the first production of musical comedy in Frankston, and the comedy has been in active rehearsal for some weeks past, an enjoyable evening is assured. The piece is being produced under the direction of Mr L. Marks, who was associated with the Lyster and Simocsen’s opera companies, so well known to old playgoers, and the instrumental work is in the capable hands of Mrs McCormack, pianist, and Mr Plummer, flautist. It is only necessary to mention that the principal parts will be sustained by such well known favorites as Miss Alice Bowell, Miss Nellie Williams, and Messrs Ellis, Wheeler, Will Gregory, C. Watson, and J. C Garrood, to ensure a good attendance. The comedy will be preceded by a concert of popular items, in which the great classical tenor, Sing Sum Soon will appear. *** A first class programme was submit-
ted by the A A B entertainers at the hall on Thursday evening 16th inst in aid of the home for adult blind at Brighton. The hall was nicely filled and patrons enjoyed themselves immensely. *** ON Friday evening Xmas eve, the usual Xmas fair will be held under the auspices of the C.E.L.G. The guild has had so much of their time taken up with Red Cross work that the work in connection with the Church fund has for some time been laid aside. Strenuous efforts have been made however, to bring this event to a successful issue, the net proceeds of which will be devoted to the church building fund. *** THE Truth About Belgium Under the Huns. Mr Carlyle Smythe, the well known writer, traveller, and entrepreneur, is just returning to Australia from a trip through the war countries, during which he has written a number of excellent articles for “Life.” The latest of these appears in the January issue of that magazine, just to hand, and it deals with a subject that is of the greatest interest, and yet is little known— i.e. Belgium under the German heel. The issue of “Life” also includes a set of four masterly articles by Dr W H Fitchett, in which as usual, he deals with the fighting of the past month and the trend of the situation as a whole. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 December, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
A tale of Christmas past, present and future By Stuart McCullough DURING our weekly phone conversation, my father and I often discuss upcoming family functions. Christmas is no exception. PETE: We’ll come at noon. Wendy’s bringing a turkey. ME: That’s no way to talk about yourself! (prolonged pause for laughter only to be filled by a gaping silence) I’d like to think the lack of laughter was not the fault of the joke itself which, frankly, was near perfect but the subject matter. After all, Christmas is a very serious business. In ‘A Christmas Carol’, Ebenezer Scrooge has possibly the worst night’s sleep of his miserable life when the ghost of a former business partner rocks up to tell him to expect a visitation from the spirits of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. In a way, we’re all like Scrooge. By that, I don’t mean miserly or otherwise wretched, but that Christmas is a bit of a signpost for where we’ve been and where we’re headed. For me, the ghost of Christmas past is a certain time of day. As a kid, it was all about getting up early. The sense of anticipation that accompanied the big day was close to unbearable. Heightened expectations meant the chances of getting to sleep on Christmas Eve would be negligible were it not for the decision of television programmers to broadcast near unwatchable schlock which invariably involved some dodgy sitcom doing their own hilarious take on ‘A Christmas Carol’ that, in reality, consisted of dressing up poorly and gluing on a pair of mutton chops that virtually guaranteed that
anyone under the age of thirty would be counting sheep before nine o’clock. I’d never hear Father Christmas arrive. Instead, it would be the sound of one of my younger brothers or sisters performing reconnaissance up and down the hallway that would manage to pull me from my ‘A Christmas Carol’-induced coma. Slow, creeping footsteps on the way down; followed by a trample that might easily have been a herd of very small elephants as they returned to relay what they’d seen underneath the tree. Finding your
present was always made more challenging by the fact of my father’s nearillegible handwriting. Even he would be unable to decipher it. The rest of us had no hope. I think I assumed that Christmas day would stay like that forever, but I was wrong. Despite those spectacular early mornings of our childhood, there was a time when my siblings and I were in our late teens and early twenties that Christmas was a hit and miss affair. For a few years, it was a piecemeal event that meant some of us were at a
loose end on the day itself. It was during this time that the five of us started ‘the foot photo’. As a reaction to years of awkward pictures perched in front of a tree, my brother and sisters and I decided that we’d take a photograph of our shoes instead as an alternative kind of family portrait. Every time I see those photos, I’m both glad that we took them and pleased that those years of disconnected catch-ups were only temporary. Things changed when Brodie came along. Brodie was (and, indeed, still is) the first nephew to arrive in our family. This changed everything. Suddenly, Christmas was back on as a major family event, albeit one that centred around an infant. From then on, Christmas became something of a spectator sport. There is no greater sight than a room full of nephews and nieces as the scurry over presents at the foot of the tree, desperately attempting to decode my father’s handwriting. Nowadays, my sister’s children have a tradition of their own. My sister’s four kids don’t photograph their shoes as we did. Rather, each year they have their picture taken at the local shopping centre with Father Christmas. The wall of their living room shows them growing up with Saint Nick. Currently, it’s at something of a cross roads as the older two are sixteen and seventeen. I’ve made the point that what may feel slightly embarrassing now is on the very cusp of becoming hilarious. My hope for them is that they keep going as they hit their twenties and beyond. No matter what lies ahead, that the four of them turn up to have their picture taken with
Santa. This year is different: we’re hosting. It means all the preparations that for several decades I have taken for granted are now my responsibility. Whether this is the ghost of Christmas future remains to be seen. Everyone’s pitching in and bringing something to eat. Our job will be to create the right kind of atmosphere. It’s no easy feat. Already, I’ve scoured various second hand shops in search of suitably festive Christmas albums, finding a particular horrific example of the genre entitled ‘Once Upon a Christmas’ by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton – the title, no doubt, indicating the number of times anyone could listen to the record without wanting to pull their own ears off and cast them into the ocean. Atmosphere is no easy thing. My father seemed to do it effortlessly. The big day is almost upon is. The tree is up. We have a contingency plan for the dog in case she gets overexcited, and activities planned. At a certain point, preparation will yield to the colour and movement of the day itself. There will, I suspect, be children everywhere. Even Ebenezer himself could not help but get caught up in the excitement. I’m not sure whether we’ll take a foot photo or all head down to the local shopping centre where twenty members of my immediate family all clamber aboard the trembling knee of an unsuspecting Santa, but whatever we do, it’s bound to be great. There’s little else to do now but borrow the words of Charles Dickens and say, “Merry Christmas.” stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Music Arts Food FRENZAL RHOMB By Billy Dixon the art of sound. “We’re in a group called Neptune Power Federation… my wife is the singer. We’ve written a full 100-page graphic novel called Lucifer’s Universe, where every chapter accompanies one of the songs on the album (Music from Lucifer’s Universe).” Together, they “even built a giant space bong in the back yard with a smoke machine in it, so she sings her haunting lyrics from inside this huge smoking bong!” It would be a bodacious prop to have on tour. “It’s modular, so it breaks down into pieces, but I don’t know about taking it through airport security.”
There’s no more quintessentially Aussie punk rock band than Frenzal Rhomb. They’ve had their music banned from the Aussiest of Aussie radio stations, Triple J, led the Vans Warped Tour around the country and opened for some of the century’s biggest punk acts like Blink 182, NOFX and Bad Religion. Right now, Frenzal Rhomb are in the midst of their umpteenth tour of Australia. Their story begins innocuously enough, with Jay and high-school chum Lex Feltham starting the band in the Sydney suburb of St. Ives shortly after leaving high school. Taking the name from a pet rat, they played Big Day Out in 1993 and were quickly absorbed by the fast-paced and unpredictable world of punk rock. “We’re experts at hospitalising ourselves… we’ve got a replacement drummer for the coming tour because Gordy broke his arm recently while educating members of the public on the art of stage diving, Lindsay had a detached retina, which is piss-funny when we’re out because it looks like he’s winking at everyone, and obviously the pig-worm thing… it’s crazy,” admits Jay, whose own mythical journey through the medical profession has spread rumours of everything from heart attacks to trench foot. These are the professionals who put their lives on the line, day in and day out, so that we might enjoy a few moments of furious fun. It’s a thankless job only heroes could bear, and yet all Jay asks for in return is “lots of money.”
Jay was actually Lindsay “The Doctor” McDougall’s radio compatriot in their early days at Triple J too, with their breakfast radio show ironically titled “Jay and The Doctor.” All those early starts took a toll, as Jay explains that after “three years of breakfast radio… you start so early, I could feel my personality changing by the end of it all.” Bailing on the lot in 2007 for a trip around the world with his missus, Whalley returned to reunite the band in 2009. When he’s not on the road with Frenzal, Jay focuses on putting other Aussie acts on record
and giving them some much-needed coverage. “I’ve been recording and producing for other bands… it’s fantastic seeing young guys come in, getting excited about aggressive punk rock.” Indeed, it was the commercial world’s borderline-disdain for Australian artists that led to Whalley’s spat with Kyle Sandilands. Of course, it’s not always about the music. “I share the care of my six-year-old child with my wife, so when I’ve got him we get to do guided reading in his class, show and tell at kinder and things like that!” But even his better half is into
Frenzal Rhomb, unlike other ‘90s rock bands that faded into obscurity only to suddenly hit the airwaves again a decade or more later, have been going strong for more than 20 years. “We hope to release our new album in September 2016. Gordy will be back on drums for the recording, so we’ve pushed the dates back a bit just to be safe. It’ll be great to get back out there.” When asked if he’s noticed his fans age over the years spent on-stage, Jay quips “most of our fans were about 13 when we started playing, so it’s not like they’re old. They’ve still got it!” Frenzal Rhomb are playing with Clowns, Heads of Charm and The Hard Aches at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday 8th January, 2016. Tickets are available at the venue or from moshtix.com.au

Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Graham Pittock invites community input to the 2016/17 Rating Strategy Options Paper. The options paper presents a number of options for consideration as a Rating Strategy, which will guide Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choices in applying rating options under the Local Government Act including differential rating across property classes, the application of ďŹ xed service charges for waste management and municipal administration, and the application of other rebates under the Act. Essentially a rating strategy focuses on how the total quantum of rates raised will be equitably distributed among ratepayers. The Strategy does not inďŹ&#x201A;uence the total amount of money to be raised â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only the share of revenue contributed by each property Public consultation is an important part of the development of a rating strategy; and given the great deal of misinformation about rates, as well as the complexity of the system, the community is invited to view the options paper and provide feedback on the options to Council for the development of the ďŹ nal rating strategy The options paper is on public exhibition from Monday 21 December for eight weeks.

Ducs are the surprise packet PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MOOROODUC has emerged as the wildcard of MPCA Provincial cricket as we head into the Christmas break, the halfway mark of the 2015-16 season. While glamour teams in Mornington, Mount Eliza, Somerville and Baxter sit outside the top four, Moorooduc is well entrenched in second place, equal on points (56) with third-placed Crib Point and clear of Sorrento (48). Peninsula Old Boys heads the table on 64 points. Then we find a logjam of teams all on 44 points (Long Island, Baxter, Somerville, Pines), all poised to strike should any of the top four falter after the break. It’s a tough, tight season and you need to be at your best for a full day
to get the rewards. Mount Eliza looked to have done enough with the bat on day one of its match against Moorooduc, scoring 233. Despite being is strife on a number of occasions throughout their innings, the Ducs were able to claw down the score with four overs remaining. Skipper Leigh Lambert top scored with 54 and helped to set up the foundations for the win with opener Ben Williams (42), while Sam Adams’ (number four) knock of 34 was solid. However, it was really the cameo performances of Cameron Bailey (31) and Sushant Gupta (38) late in the innings that got Moorooduc the victory. Sorrento did the unthinkable and chased down Crib Point’s first
innings total of 7/317. Bobby Wilson was sensational, scoring a mammoth 153 in his side’s 5/323 in 77 overs. Ben Tracy scored 39, Jedd Falck 36 and the returning Leigh Poholke 30 in the win. It was a must win game for the Sorras, who would have been in eighth position on the ladder with a loss. Long Island dropped out of the top four with a shock loss against Langwarrin. Chasing just 179 for victory, the Islanders were bowled out for 133. Mal Coutts turned back the clock for the Kangaroos, snaring 4/10, while Travis Campbell is really starting to wind up with the pill, taking 4/52. Scott Phillips top scored for the Islanders with 42 while Peter ‘Potto’
Connell hit 31. Baxter made extremely light work in their disposal of Somerville. Ben Brittain, who has played his whole career in the shadow of his brother Chris, stood alone in the limelight in this match, adding 4/31 to his 41 with the bat for Baxter. With Chamara Sattambi and Dale Irving each taking to wickets, Baxter was able to bowl out the visitors for just 108. At one stage the Eagles were 8/50. Brenton Alp was Somerville’s only contributor with the bat, top scoring with 40. Pines completed the expected and picked up an outright victory against Rye.

Top six in District logjam DISTRICT By IT Gully THERE are six teams vying for just one spot on the MPCA District ladder as we head into the mid-season break. While Baden Powell and Red Hill sit at the top of the tree on 72 points and Pearcedale has locked down third place with 60, six teams all sit on three wins and 36 points. Mount Martha and Main Ridge, despite winning just two games to date (24 points), are just a game outside fourth place. There were some must-win games for clubs on Saturday, some of which achieved the desired outcome while others are now well and truly on the back foot. Carrum was one of those teams that simply had to win. Defending 224 against Baden Powell was never going to be enough however, and the visitors got the runs with six wickets still in the shed. Rhys Elmi was dominant and scored 155 of the 4/226 for the Braves. Carrum is in second last place on the table and would need to win all of its remaining games after Christmas to make a charge. Heatherhill had a sensational opportunity to go four points clear of the pack in fourth place with a win against Delacombe Park but fell an agonising five runs short. The Hills were certainly in position to do so after bowling out the home side for 150 on the opening day. However, the visitors resumed at 3/22 on the second day and never recovered, eventually bowled out for 145. Dean Blight resumed with figures of 2/9 and finished with 5/32, while Shane Deal collected 4/39. Seaford destroyed the finals chances of its neighbour and biggest foe Seaford Tigers. Defending 8/212, Seaford was able to bowl out the Tigers for 179. Ash

Mills added 79 with his 3/21 for the Tigers, while Matty Meagher scored 29. 17-year-old Max Watters almost took his side to the promised land with 25. Tiron Fernando and Andy McMannis each snared three wickets for Seaford while Ali Mortaza picked up a couple of his own. Flinders failed in its attempt to get the outright win against Boneo but still picked up the very much appreciated 12 points. The Sharks are in fifth place after taking 13 wickets against Boneo, restricting them to just 114 runs for the match. Defending 228 after Shane Beggs hit an unbeaten 101 last week, Flinders bowled out Boneo for just 89. Matt Burns took 3/15 and Mitch Stansborough 3/22 for the Sharks. Boneo was 1/25 in its second innings before the match was called to an end. Red Hill had little problem bowling out Mt Martha. Chasing 302 for victory, the Reds were never in the game, eventually dismissed for 151. Brent Martin had a wonderful match, snaring 3/26 to go with his game-high score of 74 for the Hillmen. Glenn Collett also enjoyed a dominant match, scoring 54 with the bat and picking up 2/42 with the ball. Pearcedale destroyed Main Ridge, going within seven wickets of picking up the outright. After making 71 runs on the opening day for the Panthers, Kaine Smith then took 4/12 and 3/11 as the home side bowled out the Ridge for 96 in the first innings and then had them 3/37 in the second. Jason Albress scored 47 of the 96 first innings runs.

for 89 in the second innings before scoring the 74 runs required to win, losing just four wickets along the way. Pat Jackson finished with match figures of 8/60 with the ball for Pines while also hitting an unbeaten 42. Alex Coad found some form after being in the cricket wilderness for a couple of seasons, snaring 6/72. Peninsula Old Boys finished the first half of the season on top of the ladder after beating Mornington by five wickets. Chasing 231 for victory, the Old Boys did it in a canter, scoring the runs just five wickets down and with 27 overs to spare. Wade Pelzer (89) and Dylan O’Malley (76) set up the win with a 122 run opening partnership, before Will Crowder came in and scored 33 to ensure the victory.

By IT Gully IN MPCA Sub District cricket, there is just one game separating fourth-placed Tootgarook and second-last Ballam Park. Heading into the second half of the season, there are six teams in position to make a claim for fourth spot, while Tyabb is on the bottom of the ladder but just two games out of the four. One thing is for certain, the premiership is going to come from one of the top three teams. Dromana seems to be the best placed team at the midway mark, showing the most consistency of the top three teams. Hastings, currently in second place, is equal on points with Dromana (68) after an outright win on Saturday. However, its lack of consistency is a concern, as is the heavy reliance on Tim Birch and Luke Hewitt. In saying that, the likes of Mitch Floyd are starting to have a consistent impact, Isuru Dias is a welcome return and Al Kristensen is a trump card if he can find form. Rosebud is dangerous. The Buds have the stock to win the lot and they wouldn’t be overly concerned about sitting in third place, 20-points in arrears of the top two. On Saturday, Rosebud made light work of fourth-placed Tootgarook – a reflection of the gap between the top three and the rest. Defending 239, Rosebud rolled Tootgarook for just 112. Patrick Nagel was the slick performer with the ball with 4/13, Billy Quigley added 2/23 with his 42 with the bat, Jason Nagel snared 2/32 and Scott Millar 2/39. Rob French top scored for the Frogs with an unbeaten 37.
Hastings is in a sensational position on the ladder after getting an outright win against Tyabb. After leading by 37 runs on the first innings, Hastings started day two having Tyabb in some early strife at 3/21. Tim Birch picked up a hat trick and 4/24 in the second innings and Floyd snared 3/36 and Dias 2/8 to bowl-out the Yabbies for 85 in their second innings. Hastings then lost four wickets on their way to the 50 runs required for outright victory. Dromana also won outright against Ballam Park. Dromana replied with 8/198 to the Knights’ first innings total of 95. The Knights then made 150 in the second innings before Dromana scored 1/49 in its second innings to pick up maximum points. Skye enjoyed a very solid and equallyimportant victory against Balnarring. Chasing 180 for victory and resuming at 2/39, the home side got there with three wickets in hand. Pat Beckham was the key in the victory for Skye, opening with 76 before being run out. Stephen Smart (35) and Rob Gruar (27) then helped to ensure victory. The win means that Skye’s season remains alive. Frankston YCW was never going to haul in the 342 required for victory against Carrum Downs. Jack Greenwood had a crack with 53 and Lai Leaunoa made 33, however, Chamara Perera was superb with the ball for the visitors, taking the game away from the Stonecats with 5/22. Jayden Barker was also very impressive for the Cougars with 5/65 from 27 overs.
