Merry Christmas and thank you THERE is an old adage in newspapers that our role is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Nothing sums up our year at Mornington Peninsula News Group better than this.

The team has covered the tragedies and triumphs of 2014 with untiring effort. I thank the staff for their amazing work.

MPNEWS (1300 676 397) or email: team@mpnews.com.au www.mpnews.com.au Rose Sedick: Grateful that kinder committee ‘took a chance’ all those years ago. Picture: Yanni

Long-serving kinder head calls time ROSE Sedick has a long memory.

And that helps in her role as longserving director of the Blacks Camp pre-school.

“I have had the good fortune to teach the children of children I taught at the kinder many years ago,” she said. “This year I even have a child attending whose parents met and were in the same group at kindergarten: they grew up, got married and now their daughter comes here.”

She has taught around 1325 children, and worked with 28 management committees.

But now, as the retiring director, Ms Sedick recalls the building phase of the preschool, which opened for classes in October 1987: “I have been involved in the planning and building processes of both stage 1 and stage 2 of the centre,” she said.

“I was responsible for buying the equipment for both stages, was involved in employing many of the educational staff and overseeing student placements and training, and mentoring undergraduates from many universities and tertiary institutes.

Plane ‘too close for comfort’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A NEAR-miss between a light plane attempting to land at Tyabb airfield and a car on the Mornington-Tyabb Rd is being investigated by Peninsula Aero Club.

The incident on Saturday night last week was witnessed by a family in

the car immediately behind. Speaking on radio 3AW, a caller who identified herself as Dawn Baker, said she and her husband, Ken, and son, Jimmy, watched in amazement as the descending aircraft narrowly missed the roof of the car in front.

Aero club president Peter Bernardi said the incident – recorded on CCTV

– was being investigated by the club and that the pilot - if found - would be counselled.

The footage has been sent to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

“He came in a bit too close for comfort – about a metre and half above the car – which is far too low considering there’s a tonne of runway for him to

use,” Mr Bernardi said on Friday.

He said the plane – a single-engine Texan – was not kept at the airfield.

“We don’t know his name or where he is. We have his colours and we saw where he taxied to but he has since left.” If found, Mr Bernardi said the pilot would be spoken to and given a show-cause notice and, “if we don’t

think the message has got through, we’ll get an instructor to go up with him and assess him. Most pilots don’t do it more than once.”

Mrs Baker was reported as saying the car in front swerved to miss the aircraft as it approached the airfield runway about 7pm.

Cars torched in early morning blaze Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE proprietor of a Hastings car yard burgled and torched early on Saturday morning says he has “no idea” who is behind the attack.

Gerry Marciny, who has owned Longbeach Autos in Marine Pde for four years, said the fire “could have been a mistake”.

“We don’t have any disgruntled customers as far as I know,” he said.

He said the arsonists broke into the office before stating the fire.

They stole a laptop and model cars.

The firebugs also scrawled the words ‘dogs’ and ‘pedifile’ (sic) across the bonnets and doors of several cars reminiscent of an attack on a neighbouring business two years ago.

“I think it’s a random attack,” Mr Marciny said.

“If it was a disgruntled customer we could have resolved it amicably without this.”

Mr Marciny said fire damage to cars, offices and garages would run “into the thousands and thousands” of dollars.

“While there were only two cars to-

tally destroyed, others are damaged and the worst thing is that all the keys have been burnt and we can’t move them.”

Ten cars were damaged in the blaze which prompted Mr Marciny to quip: “Now we’ll be having a fire sale”.

On Monday the corner yard was littered with burnt out wrecks, car parts and fire damaged buildings.

Brigade support officer south-east region Andrew Bartels said units from Hastings, Tyabb and Bittern fought the fire which started at about 4.30am.

A special appliance brought in breathing apparatus.

“The units engaged in an aggressive attack on the fire to contain it,” he said.

“A couple of cars were badly damaged but many others had minor plastic damage. The workshop and offices were lost.”

Neighbours reportedly said the drama at their back fence “sounded like a freight train going past”.

Police fire investigators on the weekend scoured the site looking for clues as to the identity of the arsonists.

Anyone with information on the fire should call Hastings police 5970 7800 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

THIEVES stole a Hastings woman’s pride and joy on Saturday – her bike.

The $450 light green Jamis Hudson woman’s bike was taken at 2.30pm from outside her home while Jen, who asked that her last not be used, was locking her front door. It is a threespeed internal hub step through.

“I was within arm’s length of pulling

him off it,” she said on Monday. “He couldn’t sit on it properly and was trying to rush past me down Lyall St and along Burke St. “I’d know them if I saw them and have given their descriptions – and a photo of the bike - to the police.

“It is so frustrating being without it,” she said. “I feel stranded now.”

Jen said “it was pure chance that the boys managed to get away as the bike is almost always padlocked”.

The pensioner was injured in a car accident several years ago and was unable to chase the boys for long.

Anyone with information on the bike’s whereabouts should call Hastings police on 5970 7800.

HASTINGS real estate agent Ben Tallon continues to recover from injuries sustained in a skiing accident in July 2012.

Undergoing rehabilitation at a centre on the peninsula, Mr Tallon is supported each day by his wife, Wendy, and father-in-law Albert Wilson.

While Ms Tallon and her family have been touched by the amount of support and well wishes for her husband, she says it can often be overwhelming going into the details of his recovery - in-

cluding being in an induced coma for five months and tube fed for a year sometimes with people who only knew him in passing.

“It continues to be a slow but steady recovery progress for Ben,” Ms Tallon said. “His long-term memory has not been affected, he is aware of what happened to him – how touch and go it was - yet his short term memory sometimes falters. It’s the slow progress of his body that can be the most frustrating for him.”

Pictures of Ben around Wendy’s office show an fit man who enjoyed outdoor activities and had achieved a Godan “5th Dan” level as a martial arts instructor.

Just as frustrating for Wendy are the constant battles with the health system, which if not for the support of her own network would prove insurmountable.

“Dad has been my absolute rock, my children have been amazing and, at the end of the day, they are who you do it for,” she said.

Police ‘Raid’ drunk drivers POLICE are conducting major traffic blitzes on the Mornington Peninsula.

Operation Raid focuses on removing all impaired drivers from the roads.

“Our culture now recognises drink drivers as bloody idiots - but sadly we still have a few of them on our roads,” Inspector Karen Nyholm said.

“Tragic deaths and serious injury are only a moment away when you are driving a vehicle. What gives anyone the right to endanger my family or your family?”

Frankston Highway Patrol intercepted two motorists on the peninsula on Monday 24 November who returned alcohol readings of 0.173 per cent and 0.152 per cent.

Sgt Barry Judge, of the Rosebud

Highway Patrol, said the first-offence drivers would lose their licences for 17 and 15 months respectively. “This will impact their employment, their families and, potentially, impact their lives in a direction that is hard to come back from - all over one night’s drinking.”

Police will continue their focus on speed, drink driving and other impairment behaviours, such as drug use and fatigue.

Operation Suer Stay focuses on offending drivers and, with this year's road toll sitting at 237 - 22 more than last year, police will continue the enforcement with a hope that the message will get through and keep everyone safe at Christmas.

Health back-up for police

Cards on show: Visiting the postcards exhibition at Coolart are, from left, Ilma Hackett and Anna Buchhorn (Balnarring and District Historical Society), Brian Thomas (Parks Victoria), Cr David Garnock (Mornington Peninsula Shire) and Sally Robins (shire local history officer).

FUNDING from Medicare Local has helped police and Peninsula Health extend their partnership by establishing a second Pacer unit on the peninsula.

Inspector Karen Nyholm said the Police Ambulance Crisis Emergency Response mobile unit provided support to police dealing with those who are mentally ill.

“Combing the resource and experience of a police member with a mental health clinician improves our ability to respond to a person needing medi-

cal treatment,” she said. “This multiagency approach to the treatment of mentally ill patients has been trialled across the state with incredible success.”

She said the Peninsula Health clinicians had been a valuable resource for frontline police and that the outcomes for the community were life-changing.

The second Pacer unit will work out of the Rosebud police complex responding to incidents across the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston.

POSTCARDS provide a graphic record of past holidays on the Mornington Peninsula.

Subjects covered by an exhibition of postcards being displayed at Coolart Wetlands and Homestead, Somers, range from guesthouses at Flinders and fishing at Hastings to the orchards of Somerville and Tyabb and the

Harley Club, Balnarring.

The exhibition – Postcards: Stories from the Mornington Peninsula – features the holidaying history of Flinders, Balnarring, Hastings, Somerville, Rye, Dromana, Sorrento and Mornington with objects collected over the past three years by the peninsula’s eight historical societies.

The exhibition has already been on display at Sorrento, Mornington and Frankston and will travel to the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, Melbourne, after Coolart.

The exhibition opens 10am–5pm daily at Coolart Wetlands and Homestead, Lord Somers Rd, Somers until 25 January.

Plane comes in ‘too close for comfort’ Continued from Page 1 “This plane came in and, honestly, it was so close,” she told 3AW. “I think if the car in front hadn’t taken evasive action I’m sure it would have been a little bit more disastrous.”

Mrs Baker said her son was also forced to slam on the brakes as the plane passed “about an inch” above the car’s roof.

“It was very close,” she said.

Mr Bernardi dismissed earlier reports that there

was no surveillance footage of the incident.

He said the club had been looking at the wrong day’s footage. Later searches had proven more fruitful.

However, despite the media reports, he said the incident had not been reported to airfield authorities by the families involved.

CASA spokesman Peter Gibson also said no personal reports had been made of the incident.

“We heard of it through the media,” he said.

Stone garden school’s new totem THOUSANDS of years of Aboriginal history are highlighted in a Hastings Primary School project that took 12 months to achieve.

The Learning Stone area officially opened last week has decorated totem poles centred around a large rock.

“The main idea is to offer an area in schools that provides a focus for indigenous culture,” principal Sue Lyons said.

Although installed at about 30 schools throughout Gippsland, there are only about three schools on the Mornington Peninsula to create a Learning Stone cultural garden.

Ms Lyons said the area is used as a children’s gathering place and an outdoor classroom.

“We’ve placed it in a public place facing Hodgins Rd for everyone to enjoy. The large stone itself is symbolic, drawing attention to the environment and provides a focus point.”

Ms Lyons said the school was “introduced to the concept” of a Learning Stone about a year ago by Koori education support officer John Murray at Peninsula Specialist School.

Through Cr David Garnock the school was granted $5000 by Mornington Peninsula Shire while Hillview Quarries donated the central stone, Tall Trees indigenous plants and other support came from Everest Timber, Coates Hire and Tree and Stump Eaters.

“With this funding we began planning more than just a Learning Stone space, but a full cultural program based on indigenous art and history,” Ms Lyons said. “Initially, we invited families of our indigenous students

Pavilion start WORK has started on a new $1.6 million sporting pavilion at Fruitgrowers Reserve, Somerville.

The pavilion, scheduled to be finished mid-2015, includes change rooms, toilet and shower, office, store rooms, kitchen/kiosk, first aid and umpires rooms and social room.

“The new pavilion will provide a great new base for the club and the community, providing modern facilities for the many families that use the reserve each week,” outgoing Somerville Junior Football Club president Geoff Tozer said.

The works also include an internal sealed road, parking and landscaping.

Time for tennis HASTINGS Tennis Club holds social tennis 10am-11.30am Wednesdays enabling players to stay fit or improve their game ready for next season’s competitions starting in February.

Cost is $2 session and the club is at 54 Marine Pde, Hastings. Call Vicki Schilling on 0447 576 928 or 5979 4920.

to participate in the planning and development of the area and the cultural experiences our students would be involved in. From this came a small, key group team who then co-ordinated and shared information.

“The plan was to form the garden space, install seating to ensure it was a comfortable and inviting learning space, and frame it with painted totem poles and fence palings.”

Groups involved in project coordinated by Kirsty Bell and Adrienne

Meyer included Western Port Secondary College, Willum Warrain and pupils’ families.

“Every class, of which we have 11, was given a totem pole to design and paint, as well as a Dreamtime story to interpret on canvas. This way every student in the school played a significant part in the art work,” Ms Lyons said.

A “Bunjil nest” of personal messages on painted sticks by every pupil was also created during the opening.

“Following the official opening of our Learning Stone cultural garden we know all of our students are very connected to the cultural experiences they have participated in, because everyone had a part to play, not just our Koori students.

“Our Koori students are very proud to have led this project in their classrooms and specialist areas, and to have accessed a wide range of people who have given us special activities profiling Koori culture.”

Local wines make show PENINSULA wines were on show at the inaugural Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association regional wine show with 230 wines entered.

The two major awards were the Chardonnay Provenance Award and the Pinot Noir Provenance Award, which involved judging a pair of wines three and four years apart.

‘Woodsy’ basks in team’s glory SPORTING clubs are built on solid foundations when they have members like John Woods.

The Mt Eliza cricketer last week played his 500th consecutive game over 36 years for the club against Tyabb in the MPCA. But, of course, it’s not just on the sporting field that members make their mark.

Club president Mark Curwood said an informal audit had calculated that Woods, 75, had personally raised more than $40,000 for the club, as well as being a leading player in countless fundraisers, horse-racing syndicates and raffles during his injury-free playing career.

On top of all that, “Woodsy�, as he is affectionately known, also cleaned the clubrooms on Sunday mornings after matches for 15 years.

These are the solid foundations every club dreams about.

The point is not lost on Curwood: “Woodsy is one of those guys every club wishes they had. He’s a terrific guy. “These days the younger players are just not as dedicated, but he’s captained teams, he organises the ins and outs, plays wherever he’s needed - he does everything asked of him.�

Typically, ‘Woodsy’ downplayed his remarkable games record, preferring to talk up Tyabb Cricket Club’s generosity in obligingly agreeing to transfer their scheduled home game to Mt Eliza so his milestone could be celebrated on his own turf.

Casting his mind back – and then further back - to the 1978-79 cricket season, Woodsy said he was drawn

Club man: John Woods celebrates 500 consecutive games for Mt Eliza.

to Mt Eliza when his then 12-year-old son, Tim, began playing juniors. He liked the place immediately and never looked back.

Highlights have been “few and far between� he admitted modestly, before mentioning a “couple on tons� and, of course, playing in two winning grand finals - 1982-3 and 2009-10.

The first holds extra special memories as he played alongside Tim in D-Grade, while the second was in C2 Grade.

Nowadays he prefers to play every second week, or only when an up-andcoming youngster is unavailable. “It would be unfair of me after such a long innings to get in the way of someone with a bright future,� he said.

Tributes flowed at Sunday’s milestone game. ‘Woodsy’ ran through a club banner to the cheers of his team mates and even had the honour of moving up the batting order – from No 11 to No 9 when the eighth wicket

fell - to give him some show time at the crease. “It was a cameo appearance,� he quipped. “I hung around for a while and made three not out.�

But the highlight of the day, in his eyes, was not his remarkable achievement but that his team won, reversing a poor result against Tyabb in the previous match.

That’s “Woody’s� style - and it’s what being a “solid foundation� is all about.

Record innings: Nick Esipoff, centre, celebrates his 300-game milestone with mates at Red Hill.

Greats inspire games record Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PLAYING alongside and watching “some of the greats” in local cricket has been a career highlight for long-term Red Hill player Nick Esipoff.

These include bower Terry Doyle, captain-coach Simon Dart, Australian Test batsman Rodney Hogg in his junior days and club legend and first coach Mandy Di Gregorio who “got me into it”.

The 300-game wicketkeeper-batsman last week celebrated the milestone with an outright win against Boneo at Red Hill.

Esipoff’s 24-year journey includes plenty of

highlights: playing in a winning seconds’ grand final last season, a highest ninth-wicket partnership which scored 99 runs in the firsts, taking 280 catches and 95 stumpings and scoring 5000 runs.

He recalls making 165no against YCW in 2005 in a maiden century.

Esipoff has won the club’s batting averages and been club champion, is rated fifth in run scoring for the club and fifth in total number of games played.

A memorable occasion was coaching the Under 17s to a flag in 2005-06.

But, while the records are special, the friends made and moments shared are the real reason for playing cricket. “I was nine when we moved into

the area and needed something to do, so Dad took me down to cricket training and things sort of went on from there,” he said. That was in 1990 and he’s “enjoyed being a part of the place ever since.”

The ‘keeper was involved in drama eight seasons ago when attempting a run out against Sorrento. An upturned wicket pierced his ribs and nearly ended his career mid-flight. Improved safety precautions now mean metal tipped wickets are not used.

Esipoff remains as keen on the game as ever – and hopes to be a Red Hill player for years to come.

Continued from Page 1 “I am always grateful to the founding committee of management for taking a chance on a new graduate and having the faith in me to take on the role as the founding director of Blacks Camp Preschool. It has been a great honour and a privilege.”

As a new graduate, Ms Sedick was employed in December 1986 by the preschool’s first committee of management.

The president at that time was Alison Greenway, who still lives in Somerville.

Her children attended the kindergarten, as did her granddaughter, while her grandson, Luca, will attend next year.

The preschool had 35 children enrolled for 1987, with Ms Sedick assisted by Corrinne Tonelly.

While building works were in hand, sessions were run out of the Somerville kindergarten and the play group room at Tyabb kindergarten. Works were completed in October 1987 and Blacks Camp Preschool was officially opened on 21 November.

With rapid population growth in the Somerville area the kinder opened a third group in 1990 and began building stage two. The Blue Room was built in 1991 and the kinder became a double unit centre with more staff. It ran five groups of four-year-old kindergarten with an enrolment of 125.

The kindergarten has continued to adapt to meet the needs of the ever changing Somerville community, introducing a three-year-old program in 2007.

Past and present families and staff are invited to attend Ms Sedick’s farewell afternoon tea 3.30-6pm, Friday 12 December at the pre-school. Photographs and memorabilia of her past 28 years are welcome.

Leaders show their faith with talk of peace A CONFERENCE in Langwarrin involving representatives of six major religions is being hailed as “the first of its kind”.

More than 300 people from all over Victoria attended The Conference of World Religions 2014 held by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria at its Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque.

Leaders from the Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Hindi, Sikh and Buddhist faiths spoke about the application of peace and social harmony through the teachings of their religions.

The mosque’s leader, Imam Wadood Janud, spoke about Islam’s “true and peaceful teachings”.

Dr Rev. Alaxander Yule represented Christianity; Rabbi Ralph Genende, Judaism; Hojun Futen, Buddhism; Jasbir Sigh, Sikhism; and Bhakta Dasa, Hinduism. The conference was moderated by Norman Currie, director and producer of Channel 31.

“The conference was a great success and it brought various communities and world’s major religions and their followers under one roof and, more importantly, everyone who came on the podium agreed that their respective religion spreads peace and harmony in the society,” Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Victoria spokesman Aziz Bhatti said.

He said members of the Ahmadiyya community were “working hard for the cause of peace and love for all, hatred for none”.

“This message is more important and more crucial for world peace than it has ever been.”

Guests at the conference included were Members of Parliament, a mayor, councillors, an assistant police commissioner and police, government officials, members of an interfaith network and academics.

National president of the Ahmadiyya community Imam Inam-ul Haq Kausar emphasised the need for “mutual understanding and respect between the followers of different faiths in order to achieve peace and harmony in today’s world”.

Line of faith: top, on the speakers’ table at the The Conference of World Religions 2014 are, from left, Rabbi Ralph Genende, Imam Inam-ul-Haq Kausar (president Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia), Elmardi Abuelgasim and Abdul Qadeer.

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

Dolphin ‘work’ is never done IT can’t really be seen as having a pet, but giving a Christmas gift of an “adopted” dolphin can help improve the mammals’ lives in Western Port and Port Phillip.

Money raised by the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute’s adopt-a-dolphin campaign pays for research and marine education programs that, according to executive director Jeff Weir, have reached more than 100,000 people.

“Without our adopt-a-dolphin supporters over 24 years, much of our knowledge of Victorian dolphins, our wonderful marine education programs and our award winning i sea, i care ambassador program would not exist,” Mr Weir said.

“Our remarkable Port Phillip is home to both bottlenose and common dolphins and, even though we have made progress, our work is

needed today as much as it was 24 years ago.

“We are still concerned about injuries to dolphins from vessels, entanglements and the impacts of coastal pollution on the whole marine ecosystem.”

Mr Weir said the institute helped “to develop the next generation of scientists and environmental managers”.

“Adopt-a-dolphin and you can rest easy this summer knowing that you’ve helped to look after our dolphins and their watery home in our own backyard.”

It costs $98 a year to “adopt” a dolphin or $150, which includes a trip with Sorrento-based Moonraker Dolphin Swims.

THE Fire Danger Period started on Monday across Victoria’s southeast including the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions, and French Island in Western Port.

The Country Fire Authority’s Trevor Owen said it would be introduced across all municipalities in the CFA’s South East Region because of current conditions.

FDPs are based on local conditions and take into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall.

Mr Owen said vegetation was dry across the southeast and early indicators were pointing to “a long and challenging fire season ahead”.

The declaration in the southeast follows the Bureau of Meteorology’s climate outlook that states it will be drier than normal in eastern Australia as well as in the north and centre.

“The summer temperature outlooks indicate a warmer than normal season for both days and nights. Climate influences include El Nino-like conditions in the tropical Pacific Ocean.”

Weather authorities have stated that the first 10 months of 2014 have been the hottest since record-keeping began more than 130 years ago.

Mr Owen said it was “not too late to clean up your property but the window for burning off has closed”.

During the Fire Danger Period, all fires in the open air are banned without a written permit, along with most activities with the potential to generate sparks.

Permits can be obtained from the CFA or Municipal Fire Prevention Officer at Mornington Peninsula Shire or Frankston Council.

“The CFA will be taking a zero tolerance approach to any fires resulting from people flouting the laws,” Mr Owen said. “Expect that any fire you start to be fully investigated by police.”

Jude Kennedy, the CFA’s manager of community safety in the southeast, said residents could find information about what is and isn’t permitted during the Fire Danger Period by visiting cfa.vic. gov.au or calling 1800 240 667.

The restrictions DURING the Fire Danger Period:  A written permit is required to burn grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation. A permit may be issued by the Municipal Fire Prevention Officer or CFA district office. Check with your municipality in the first instance.  Lighting a fire in the open without a permit is an offence and can bring a penalty of more than $17,000 and/or 12 months’ jail. Barbecues and fires for cooking and warmth do not require a permit, but must be lit in properly constructed fireplaces.  Use of incinerators, chainsaw, lawn mowers, welding and grinding equipment, and vehicles that come in contact with vegetation and machinery with an internal combustion or heat engine is permitted provided conditions are followed.  Farmers can find legal guidelines and practical advice at cfa.vic.gov.au/farming – important especially for new farmers, bush block owners or hobby farmers.  A Total Fire Ban declaration means no fires can be lit for the declared district for that day unless there is a specific exemption or special permit issued. This applies irrespective of the fire restriction status for a given municipality. Further details at cfa.vic.gov.au/can

LETTERS Predictable wins Ho hum, [Nepean MP Martin] Dixon, [Mornington MP David] Morris and [Hastings MP Neale] Burgess all retained their seats at the state election as our representatives for the Mornington Peninsula, which was no surprise. Any Walt Disney character could win down here provided they had Liberal Party membership.

John Cain, McCrae

Labor gains What a fantastic achievement for the young Labor [Nepean district] candidate Carolyn Gleixner. With the support of many people in the electorate behind her, she achieved one of the highest swings of 5.8 per cent in favour of Labor across Victoria (average Labor swing 1.7 per cent), and cut Mr Dixon’s 13.7 per cent margin by close to half.

With second preferences (Labor won three important Booths in Nepean, and came close in eight others) this fresh faced young woman has seriously established a place for herself in the electorate.

In the process of the campaign, she highlighted many long term and important issues, and brought them into the public and political limelight, including our appalling public transport situation, lack of local health services, unemployment, serious problems with education and health services and rising costs for families and pensioners struggling on low incomes.

On the environment, with her support, Point Nepean will now be protected from an inappropriate exclusive commercial development, in favour of retaining full public access and the community plan. Ninety nine year leases of national parks will be defunct, and the Rosebud pool commercial

precinct will be built at Wannaue Place where it should have been in the first place, not on the Rosebud foreshore.

We will not have container ships despoiling Western Port and genuine long terms jobs and businesses for Hastings will be developed in their place.

She also advocated for the Balnarring Common which, after many years, was finally successfully approved by [Mornington Peninsula Shire] Council.

And hopefully, the principle of protecting national parks will extend and be included in the current dispute over the Arthur’s Seat gondola commercial precinct development.

Many issues, projects and appeals from community representatives including these, have been falling on deaf Liberal ears for years. Carolyn achieved all this as a mere candidate in the space of 10 months – more than our Liberal representatives have been doing for years. No wonder the community got behind her and produced such a swing.

Meanwhile we have four more years of ineffectual Liberal representation ahead of us – while looking with envy at our neighbours in Frankston who had the good sense to change to a Labor MP, and will be reaping the benefits.

The Liberals have taken Nepean for granted as a safe seat. We are stuck again and going backwards. The only chance people in Nepean have of addressing the problems we have endured for decades, and stop them getting worse, is to elect a Labor MP. Well done to those who voted for Carolyn, and next time, for those who did not, please reconsider and vote for your Labor candidate. This is the only way to get our fair share of government attention and funding support and address the many problems continually facing our community.

Aija Dowling, Flinders

The other side It was refreshing to read the letter from Tony Nicholl (‘Suicide concern’, The News 2/12/14) revealing that there is another side to domestic violence. For decades all we ever read is hate-male.

I am an old bloke and I’ve seen it all, starting with my own father who returned from Tobruk in World War 2 mentally wrecked. There certainly are violent husbands and fathers, all of this is already well documented, and the jails are full of them, rightly or wrongly.

No mention is ever made of the destroying woman. She rarely uses physical violence, she uses something far more devastating and dangerous: mental violence. Same as what happened to dear old dad.

Our state government has promised a Royal Commission into domestic violence. I hope it looks into both sides and the causes, together with the existing laws that cause a lot of the problems. I wouldn’t want just more ways to jail men and more laws.

Too many women want to get out of their marriage and keep the house, the kids and much of the husband’s income; then they bring in the boyfriend who takes over everything. Imagine the husband?

I’ve heard absolute fairy tales and lies that only a magistrate could believe in making his decisions. Too many destroyed men then suicide.

Often, it is unrelenting middle or working class poverty and financial distress caused by Champagne tastes in housing and lifestyle, but on a “beer” income; this equals shocking debt.

“When poverty walks in the door, love flies out the window.”

I am not a mysogynist. I have been married for 47 years. I treat most men and woman equally.

O’Toole’s win appeal of murder sentence THE family of murdered Hastings jeweller, Dermot O’Toole, have successfully petitioned the Director of Prosecutions to appeal Gavin Perry’s sentence.

“Our family wrote a letter to the Director of Prosecutions a few weeks ago requesting an appeal of Perry’s sentence.” said Dermot’s son, Trent O’Toole. “We were told by many that our chances were very slim.”

Two weeks ago the O’Toole family were informed that the DPP had lodged an appeal for the murder charge (which was 20 years). The O’Toole family were unable to tell anyone until Perry was served this news.

In a cruel twist, on at the time they found out that Perry has lodged an appeal against the severity of the sentence for all charges.

He was sentenced to 27 years, with a non-parole period of 23 years, for three armed robberies, intentionally causing injury and

the murder of Mr O’Toole. This means, if eligible for parole, he would be free at age 50.

With both appeals lodged, it is believed they will be heard in court in the second half of 2015.

Murderer: Gavin Perry

OBITUARY

Life-long Somerville resident, church elder, great grandmother

By Peter McCullough.

ONE of Somerville’s best-known and highly-respected local residents, Joyce Shepherd, passed away at Somercare in Somerville on 25 November. She was 97.

Joyce lived in her home in Somerville until she fell and broke her hip almost two years ago. After rehab she was admitted to Somercare in July, 2013; sadly she was unable to attend the funeral of Roy, one of her four sons, which took place during that week. Several weeks ago Joyce suffered a stroke and her health then deteriorated.

The funeral was held at the Hastings Uniting Church on Wednesday 3 December; the same church where she filled the role of elder for more years than people can remember. The church was packed with family and friends and eulogies were given by her eldest son, Colin, who gave a biographical sketch, and grand-daughter Gayle Shepherd who provided a few personal reminiscences on behalf of the grand-children and great grandchildren.

In July, 2009 The News published a biography of Joyce, then a spritely 92 year old. Gayle’s reminiscences, however, provide a more personal insight into this much-loved grand-mother/ great grand-mother; below are some of them.  “Grandma loved to bake-everything from wedding cakes, sponges, scones and yo-yos to her famous

mince tarts at Christmas. And she made the best roast dinners! I went around one day and asked her to teach me to make scones. We soon got into it; there was no need to check the recipe as she knew the ingredients and quantities by heart.” “Grandma loved God and going to church on Sunday. It kept her going through the darker times of her life, especially after Grandpa passed away.

She loved to sing. I can remember going to church with her at Christmas and Easter, and she just loved being there.” “She loved her garden which had so many beautiful flowers, orchids, ferns, and the most amazing roses.

Grandma always had fresh flowers on her dining table and the kitchen bench, and often sent me home with some freshly-cut ones. She took out her frustrations on the weeds, and often commented on how it made her feel better to get out into the garden.”  “Grandma enjoyed her independence and in her latter years had to resort to visiting the shops on her gold scooter. Wearing her little red hat she only had one speed..and that was “fast.” A number of reports of dangerous driving filtered back, and on one occasion she was spotted coming back from the shops, driving in the middle of the road with the traffic stopped for her.”  “Grandma loved Christmas so much that she planned for it 364 days in advance. She would cook and buy

gifts, and had a whole room dedicated to presents. There were occasional slip-ups; on one occasion she was embarrassed to find that a beach towel she had give to Matt had a naked lady on the reverse side. Matt was too young to appreciate it but Brett was very quick to do a swap! It was the giving that Grandma loved. We would all gather around the tree and she would hand out the gifts one by one. In spite of her careful planning the odd error in labelling would occur; in one instance a strapping grand-son received a book of instruction on learning to sew!”  “Not only did Grandma have amazing generosity of spirit, but she was also amazingly strong. Losing Grandpa so young must have been really tough for her, but she lived alone in her home for many years keeping fit and active until her accident two years ago. Being fiercely independent she kept herself busy with tapestry, hobbytex, knitting, giant puzzles, arts and crafts, bingo, the Uniting Church and Senior Cits.”  “Like many people of that generation, Grandma had a number of sayings which she lived by such as the Golden Rule “Do unto other as you would they do unto you.”, “Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.”,my favourite “Smile and the whole world smiles with you; cry and you cry alone.”, and the one that kept her going in her latter years “Give me one day at a time,Lord, that’s all I ask.”

Traders angry at truck pop ups Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TRADERS opposed to mobile food vans setting up in Rye shopping centre say the same permit regulations should apply to all.

The vans appeared last week on a vacant block at the corner of Weir St and Point Nepean Rd and immediately caused shopkeepers to cry foul.

However, the mobile vendors have a street traders licence which allows them to operate after registering with municipalities they move into.

Those operating on privately owned land – as in this case - largely escape council control. The Weir St block is zoned Commercial 1.

Communications manager Todd Trimble said while the shire was “sympathetic” to the traders the vans were legal.

“These types of businesses are usual at school fetes or outside Bunnings but what is different here is that they are on private land. They are doing nothing wrong and there’s nothing the council can do.”

Up to 50 Rye traders held a street protest against the vans last week.

They claimed the rules are unfair and point out they pay for planning permits, rates, rents and licences.

They operate through lean winter periods while the vans come and go. Each group competes for the same customers.

Baha Tacos Rye general manager Kate Wild described the establishment of the food-truck “park” as “underhand and cheeky”.

“Some people think we are just greedy traders up against the poor little

food vendors, but the situation is the opposite.

“Our businesses are run by one or two people and we haven’t got the time to sit down and investigate our rights and all the regulations.”

The News was unable to contact Australian Mobile Food Vendors Group director Frank Rusitovski by deadline. He is the organiser of the mobile food park.

Ms Wild said planning approval for Baha’s Taqueria renovation had cost thousands of dollars and taken 14 months to gain shire approval as well as advertise for objections. The mobile vendors moved in overnight and opened for business.

“If we’d known they were coming we would have had time to adjust,” Ms Wild said.

The shire has removed fencing and non-mobile food containers from the site, but this will not affect the majority of the mobile van operations.

Senior Constable Daniel Patton, of Rosebud police, said the food vans were not a police matter. “We are aware of their presence and will ensure public order is maintained in the area,” he said.

Nepean Ward’s Cr Tim Rodgers blamed the vans’ ability to “set up shop at a moment’s notice” on the state government’s removal of red tape.

“It is disappointing they don’t need a permit to run this kind of thing.

The shopkeepers put in an enormous amount of time and money and struggle through the lean periods, then have to pay rates and rent while the fly-bynights move in and make a killing,” Cr Rodgers said.

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

Show jumping world is Jasmine’s oyster TOORAK College’s Jasmine Dennison, of Mt Eliza, takes a global perspective when it comes to equestrian events.

The year 9 student represented Australia in the Children’s Challenge in Taiwan last month and, next month, will do the same again at the World Junior Jumping Championships in Mexico.

“I enjoyed the chance to represent Australia at the Taiwan CSIJ-B event,” Jasmine said. “Overall, 13 countries were represented, including Iran and Mongolia.”

It's been a big year for the 14-yearold who was recently crowned the Australian Junior Show Jumping champion.

“The whole experience was amazing, and, while the jumping was challenging on Bluedancer, the horse

I drew in the pool, it was a fantastic event.”

Jasmine and her group enjoyed the company of the Taiwanese guide assigned to look after them and show them the city’s sights outside of the riding program.

“The organisers made sure we had both a wonderful cultural experience and a great riding opportunity,” she said.

“I loved trying all the local foods and doing such activities as exploring the Taipei night markets.

“I am trying to decide whether my favourite food adventure was grilled whole squid on a stick or the spicy red local tofu!”

Hannover Equestrian Centre is in the centre of the capital, Taipei, a far cry from the open, grassy facilities that we are lucky to have here,

Jasmine said. The courses were the handiwork of the renowned Olaf Peterson, who has designed courses for two Olympics, five World Cup finals, a World Equestrian Games and more than 100 Nations’ Cups.

“The FEI stewards were particularly serious about keeping us all in line, however, after the three days, everyone had become good friends and we were making plans to stay in touch.

“The riders were excellent and we all enjoyed trying to get to know our borrowed horses together.

“It was certainly a great feeling to be wearing the Australian uniform and it is something I won’t ever forget.”

Jasmine travelled with chef d’equipe Annie White “who was wonderful and did a great job helping me to get the best out of Bluedancer”.

Weather changes and so do the fish

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro IT has been a bit of a strange week for fishing around the Mornington Peninsula. The snapper are still about but very unpredictable. We are still seeing some really nice flathead with fish regularly reaching 45cm plus.

However, the squid have returned with a vengeance. Many anglers are once again starting to focus their efforts on the cephalopods.

Whiting are continuing to bite in Western Port with good catches coming from Quail Bank. While the fishing has been inconsistent. Best results have been in 5-6 metres.

The warm water currents this year have brought blue bottle jellyfish to the back beach, schools of kingfish to the southern peninsula and, I expect makos to be patrolling Bass Strait.

We are now entering another El'Nino weather pattern. Drought and a hot long summer are on the cards.

This weather pattern is the reason we are seeing so many high pressure systems and many snapper anglers would believe that this would make the fish go nuts. With these highs we have had some quite large temperature shifts. Many anglers look to the rising barometer as the peak in snapper fishing time. But those targeting snapper should be looking at a rising or stable ambient air temperature, steady or rising barometer and if possible a change of tide.

The season of 1997 in my fishing diary showed similar fishing patterns.

Fickle fish, large fish and not huge numbers. Do the snapper know what's coming or is this just coincidence?

For the record, my whiting catches in

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

97 are very similar to this year.

James Rodgers from Unreel fishing charters told me: “In my opinion it's been an unusual season with some amazing land based and shallow water fishing and also an incredible spread of snapper from top to bottom of the bay. No place in the bay has missed

Western Port News 9 December 2014

out on its share of the action and, as a result, the snapper are not in such tight schools and most people have found them to be patchy and difficult to catch large numbers as they have done over the past decade.

“There are a number of old timers, including myself, that recognise

similarities in this season to others from the past and my opinion is that it certainly has been a tougher one for all of us, but I feel that it's not such a bad thing as it’s helping us to properly appreciate and enjoy the fewer snapper that we catch.

“I am finding that I'm using almost twice the fuel and only getting about two thirds of the amount of snapper I would expect from a recent season.

“We usually end up just short of our limit, which is still a very good result.”

Matty Hunt from Mathew Hunt fishing service gave me this summary: "Snapper season has been tougher than most we've had over the last seven years or so. Having said that, average size is definitely bigger and the deeper waters, 18 metres plus, have been where the larger schools of medium size fish have been hiding.

Those persisting in the shallows have been rewarded with great fishing after dark.

“Best baits have been pilchard, squid and soury while fishing different spots rather than hounding one area has been a better option this season as well.”

So, even with a change in weather patterns, anglers have a heap of options. So pick your time and go wet a line.

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

Join the celebration COMMUNITY minded residents take note: it’s your time to shine. That’s because the shire is seeking assistance from volunteers wanting to take part in the peninsula’s biggest events – including next years’ Australia Day celebrations.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb said local Australia Day activities were some of the largest and most significant events across the peninsula.

They are presented by the shire in partnership with the community.

“Spread across seven townships, the shire’s Australia Day program provides free activities and entertainment, including the Mornington Street Parade, the Rosebud Fun Run, free community breakfasts, fireworks, live music community displays and flag raisings for the community to enjoy and celebrate together,” she said.

“Volunteering is a great way to support the community, and we’d love to have you join our team to deliver one of the most exciting event programs on the peninsula.”

Volunteer roles can include conducting surveys, assisting with parking, marshalling the street parade, customer service, event setup and pack-up, assisting musicians and performers, and ‘all-rounder’ help on the day.

Volunteers will be issued with reserved parking and free refreshments throughout their time at any event.

Those interesting in volunteering at the Australia Day celebrations should contact the shire’s community and special events staff on 5971 9312 or email events@mornpen.vic.gov.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville Hall holds Xmas gift sale Compiled by Melissa Hodge WE are pleased to hear that Cr Ritchie who has been laid aside by illness for the last ten days is now recovering, and hopes to be about again in a few days. *** PEDESTRIAN, cyclists and wood choppers are requested to note that entries for the Frankston New Year’s Sports close, for the two first on Saturday, December 19th and for the wood cutting on December 15th. *** THE continued illness of Mrs Jacobs of Frankston, is causing her friends much anxiety. She was conveyed to St Pancras’ private hospital, where she now lies in a very precarious state of health. It is hoped that the unremitting care and attention she is receiving will result in her complete recovery and restoration to health. *** THE drawing for Miss Martindale’s handbag, in aid of the Patriotic fund took place on Thursday, conducted by Mr Mark Brody The winning ticket being No 27, held by Mr Cameron.

Miss Martindale desires to thank all those who took tickets, and also those who assisted at the sale of them The financial result of the drawing was very satisfactory. *** A SALE of gifts and Xmas Tree will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Somerville, on Saturday, 19th Dec under the patronage of St Andrew’s Ladies’ committee. Cooking competitions will take place, full particulars of

which can be obtained from Miss H. White, hon. sec. and from dodgers. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings council it was decided that “a roll of honor “ should be kept of those residents who had gone to the front to fight for their country. The parents and friends are requested to forward full name, rank, company, etc, to Mr J. E. Jones Shire secretary, Moorooduc. *** FOR having failed to give to the local municipal authorities written notice of his intention to build, George M. Dunn was at Northcote court on Monday fined £2, with £2 2s costs. For having failed to pay the prescribed fees according to laws the same defendant was fined £2. *** MESSRS Robert Gunn and Co. have arranged with the Defence Department to have an inspection of horses suitable for riding and gunners at the Mornington trucking yards on Thursday next. Owners wishing to present their horses for inspection are asked to advise the agents (Messrs Gunn and Co) as early as possible.

On Monday evening next we will have the opportunity of again renewing our acquaintance with the Maurice Gerald Company, who, it will be remembered some years back, playing a successful season of one week in Frankston, producing different plays each night, including “Conn the Shaughaun,” and other plays. On this occasion a new version of Mrs Wood’s

great work ‘”a new East Lynn” will be staged. Mr Gerald is bringing along a first class professional company and should be greeted with a good house *** FRANKSTON proved to be winners on Saturday last, in a tennis match against Tala club, Hawthorn, by one game. It was a closely contested match, and consequently, most interesting. The play all round was good, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent. A desire was expressed all round that the Tala club should be met again shortly, to have another “go”. *** THE friends of Mrs W. W. Young of Frankston, will regret to hear of the death of her mother, which took place on the 30th November at Rushworth.

The “Chronicle” makes the following remarks with regard to deceased:— ‘The death occurred at her daughter’s residence, Rushworth, on Sunday 30th Nov. of a very old colonist in the person of Mrs Sarah Stanley. Deceased was also an old and respected resident of Rushworth, where she lived for many years with her daughter (Mrs W. Young) and after with her other daughter (Mrs E. Robinson). Mrs Stanley came to Victoria in about the year 1842, but for several years prior to that had resided in New Zealand.

She was therefore a colonist for aver 70 years, and her age at the time of her death was 95. In many respects she was a remarkable old lady, active, and retaining all her faculties almost to the last. It can readily be imagined that she saw some stirring hazardous times

in the forties, and she could give some thrilling accounts of the happenings of those days. She was a kind, benevolent old lady, and it was but just that she should reach a peaceful end by quietly passing away in her sleep. The remains were interred in the Rushworth cemetery on Monday afternoon, the Rev. H. Richardson conducting the funeral service. An excellent programme was provided by the Westernport entertainers, at the picnic concert, on Friday evening last. A very large audience assembled and everyone expressed the opinion that the music supplied by the orchestra surpassed anything that was ever heard in the local hall before. The programme was very lengthy and included some first class recitations and songs. A detailed report will probably appear in the next issue. It has been decided to again hold the Xmas tree in the hall on Xmas eve. Arrangements are now well in hand and an enjoyable evening will again be provided for the children. The proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Hospital. *** LAST Thursday evening a farewell social was held in the Town Hall for the purpose of wishing Messrs J. and G. Buckley and E. Wilson a bon voyage and a good time when they get to the front, as they are leaving with the Second Expeditionary Force. Cr Oates (president of the Shire) and Cr Watt, Dr Plowman and Messrs J. L. Parkes (president Westernport Progress Association,) Rev F. E. Watts and J. D. Hodgins spoke very feelingly to the volunteers, all of whom briefly re-

sponded. The following programme was then gone through: Selection by brass band followed with National Anthem, overture orchestra, song, Miss A Robinson; song, Miss K. Jones; song, Mr J. Carmicheal (encored); song, Miss J. Reid ; recitation, Miss Nathan; selection brass band; song, Mr L Sparks. Cr Watt thanked the people for their attendance, also the brass band and orchestra, who kept things lively with the fine music which they supplied. A sumptuous supper was handed round by the ladies during the evening.

A euchre party and dance was held in the local Town Hall on Friday evening last, when a good attendance was present. The entertainment being in aid of the Roman Catholic Church. *** CONSIDERABLE interest was excited in the usually quiet township of Moorooduc on Wednesday evening on the occasion of the opening of the new picking shed just completed for the Two Bays Nurseries. Limited at the property of Messrs G. and C. Griffth, of Somerville. The building, which is erected at the Moorooduc Station, is a substantial weatherboard building, 40 ft, with 12 feet walls with an iron roof. There is a platform sliding where fruit can be loaded from the shelf right into the railway trucks. The brothers came from America in 1885 where they gained their experience in fruit culture.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Why democracy should be served with onions

By Stuart McCullough DEMOCRACY was, for a time, quite a useful thing. But much like last year’s milk, it has gone seriously off and to catch the merest whiff is a startling affront to the senses. It pains me to say it, but democracy as we knew and loved it is ruined. I speak, of course, of the Victorian State election. In declaring that the democratic process has pretty much run its course, I’m not complaining about who beat who either on an individual or overall basis. Rather, I’m talking about something far more fundamental and important. It’s the very residue that binds communities together, the glue that is at the heart of our social cohesion. I speak, of course, of sausages.

We have compulsory voting. If you don’t turn up to mark your boxes and stuff them through the slot, you’re at risk of being fined. For the most part we, as a people, accept that we must present ourselves at the local primary school to do our duty and play our small part in the broader democratic ballet. But in surrendering our freedom not to vote, we do so on a very specific understanding. If we are to give up our Saturday morning to run the gauntlet through the school gates past a bunch of leaflet wielding political evangelists in order to stand in a line for a good half hour, all we ask in return is that there are sausages to make the whole experience seem worth the trouble.

The sausage sizzle is an essential part of the voting process. Not only does it provide a valuable incentive to vote, it presents primary schools with a fantastic opportunity to raise

PAGE 42

funds. This, without doubt, is a wonderful thing. Last Saturday, we walked through the sunshine down to the local school gate. Like the ghouls of the Luna Park Ghost Train, frightening people loitered on the footpath shoving pamphlets forward in an act that is best described as ‘reverse begging’. It can’t be a fun job. Indeed, it must be difficult not to take it a little personally

Western Port News 9 December 2014

when someone strolls up and pointedly takes the materials for someone else’s candidate only. Frankly, it can’t be too enjoyable to offer a ‘How to Vote Card’ to someone like me. When some poor soul representing a party that advocates for the rights of animals proffered an information sheet, I was forced to decline saying only: ‘Too hungry.’ I watched as several adults

scaled the fence simply to avoid the ‘How to Vote’ blockade.

The queue stretched right through the schoolyard. As we took our place, I decided to sniff the political winds and discovered they lacked the unmistakable aroma of barbeque. Instantly, I regretted my decision not to take all the information I could from the gargoyles at the gate. Had any of the candidates been running on a ‘compulsory barbeques at all elections’ platform, that person would surely have won my vote. Worst of all, there was no explanation. Was the lack of sausages part of an elaborate preference swap deal between candidates? Or were the sausages being poured into marginal electorates as part of a small-goods led campaign?

Instead of sausages, we had a sevenyear old playing Christmas Carols on the violin. First of all, I admire greatly any child who’s willing to stand up and perform for a bunch of hungry adults. However, the violinist had clearly prepared for a much shorter queue and had confined his repertoire to just three Christmas carols. I enjoyed hearing ‘Jingle Bells’ the first thirty times, but on the thirty first and subsequent occasions, I’ll admit that it began to grate slightly. As he started up for the seventy third time, I was not so much ready to vote as I was ready to tear off my own ears. To make things worse, when I asked him to play what is broadly considered to be the greatest piece of music ever composed for the violin - ‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia’ – he looked at me like I was some kind of idiot. Clearly, students of

the violin are not taught to respect the classics.

I don’t object to lining up. But every queue deserves a barbeque. Having been denied my democratic right to chow down, I began to search for answers. Is this primary school so flush with cash that it doesn’t need to raise money? It seems unlikely. Perhaps it’s a case of political correctness gone mad whereby local parents have decided that cooking meat might offend vegetarians. I think I speak for everyone when I say that people will welcome a vegetarian option. In fact, why not sell coffee too? For that matter, stick a fondue fountain between the monkey bars and the slide for all I care. Politics ought to be a smorgasbord.

It must be said that politics and sausages have a lot in common. It’s best not to know how either is made. As I stand in line waiting for my turn, it becomes clear to me that flute-apalooza will never be enough. I cast my vote and yet feel strangely incomplete. And for reasons that I don’t fully comprehend, I feel an almost uncontrollable urge to immediately head to Bunnings where, for $2.50, I can buy a sausage wrapped in bread. As I bite down through the soft white bread and a potent mix of sausage grease and sauce spills into my mouth, I reminded of the words of Plato: ‘Democracy is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder. Pass the onions.’

Democracy is dead. Long live democracy. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

HOODOO GURUS SET FOR A RED HOT 2015 Next year is set to be a big year for Australian rockers the Hoodoo Gurus, with the band planning on releasing a new album and also coming to Mornington as part of the Red Hot Summer tour on January 11.

The Hoodoo Gurus released their first album in 1984 after the success of their first single Leilani in 1982. They’ve followed this up with eight other studio albums, most recently Purity of Essence in 2010 and a greatest hits album Gold Watch: 20 Golden Greats in 2012.

PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to Hoodoo Gurus frontman Dave Faulkner about the journey and longevity of the Gurus.

PEARL: It’s been 32 years since Hoodoo Gurus released their first single. Did you ever think you’d be enjoying such success and still touring after all this time?

FAULKNER: No we really were working from record to record and before you know it years later we’re still doing it. There’s been a lot of luck and a lot of hard work along the way.

PEARL: The Hoodoo Gurus had a break for four years before reforming. What was the turning point for getting back together?

FAULKNER: When we played at Homebake in 2001, it was four years after we broke up and that was the gig that led to us reforming. When we played together again after four years apart it was amazing to witness the energy, it was the same spirit and connection and that was a real eye opener for me.

PEARL: You’re coming to Mornington to perform in January, what can fans look forward to about your show?

FAULKNER: Mostly a pretty high rolling night of rock and roll fun! I’m pretty excited! We’re pretty much known for

THE GRAND HOTEL SPORTS BAR

PH 5975 2001

our live shows, we have quite a few well known songs to draw from that we’ll play.

PEARL: Are you working on any new projects with the Hoodoo Gurus or by yourself at the moment?

FAULKNER: I’ve got a few side projects I’ve been working on- a bit of electronica fun, I’ve dabbled with that all through my career but I’m not known for it. I’m also working on some theatre stuff and last but not least a new Hoodoo Gurus album for next year. I haven’t started serious work on it yet but it’s definitely in my sights. I really want to apply myself to get some songs organised, get into rehearsals and demos and start the whole process again.

PEARL: How do the Hoodoo Gurus make music together?

How does the creative process work?

FAULKNER: As a writer you’re always solo, you write the songs that mean something to you and express what you think. Then at the rehearsals with the rest of the band you keep adding to it, giving it character. It’s more about the songs that have come to life and feel natural and real. A song can be a great song but just not work for those particular musicians. You never know until you’ve done it whether it’s going to work or not. Sometimes you get amazed by the results because it becomes twice as exciting as it once wasit’s first rate chemistry when it happens.

PEARL: You’ve penned some of the Hoodoo Gurus’ biggest hits such as What’s My Scene that have become Australian rock and roll anthems, what inspires you as a songwriter?

FAULKNER: Most songwriters start with the music, a lyric or an idea for a story we want to tell. Then you try to figure out how to capture the feeling of that music or topic you want to get off your chest. As far as the theme that you write about you take it from your daily life, observations in society

or the world at large. All of us, musician or not we think about things we want to tell people about- our opinions, our feelings, things we hope for or fear. Music to me is having a different format to express how I feel say compared to somebody else writing a letter to the editor.

PEARL: You began songwriting at an early age. As a child what drew you to music and writing? Where did your ideas come from?

FAULKNER: As a kid my first song was about the family dog, I call that my first love song (laughs). Music was just something I really took to; I was really attracted to it. I was a passionate player of piano and later on guitar. I didn’t even know I was writing songs in the beginning, I was just singing words because it made me feel good.

PEARL: How did you get into electronic music?

FAULKNER: Music is music to me. I like opera, I like reggae, I like everything really and as a musician I can find merit in all musical styles. In a lot of ways it’s really about communicating using this beautiful melody that is beyond the lyric that changes from one genre to another. Electronic music is just pop music with different instruments really.

Hopefully the electronica stuff will come out next year. It’ll be pretty quiet it’s just a bit of fun but hopefully people enjoy it.

The Gurus are truly known for their fantastic live shows so make sure you get down to Mornington Racecourse on Sunday January 11 to see the magic and chemistry Faulkner describes in person. The Hoodoo Gurus will be joined by James Reyne, Daryl Braithwaite and Boom Crash Opera, with special guest The Angels and Diesel.

Bowlers rule the day PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully IT was a great day for the bowlers in MPCA Provincial cricket on Saturday.

The pick of them though was superstar Scott Phillips, who picked-up 8/58 for Long Island.

The highest batting tally for the day for the team batting first was 157, scored by Moorooduc against Peninsula Old Boys.

However, despite the Ducs hitting the highest score, it was passed by the Old Boys, who came out and blasted 2/163 to grab first innings points.

The lowest score for the day was Crib Point, who managed just 129 against Mt Eliza, despite a half century from Luke Herrington.

Sushant Gupta helped Moorooduc break 100, batting at nine.

Gupta top scored with 43 and rescued his side after the top and middle order failed. John Collison contributed 33.

Jon Forrest turned back the clock for the Old Boys, bowling 18 overs and snaring 4/47, while Tommy Feldgen picked-up 2/22.

Left to bat the last 26 overs of the day, the Old Boys could sniff an outright, scoring a quick fire 163.

Openers Matt Hyden and Dylan O’Malley were in an aggressive mood, O’Malley smashing 72, including eight fours and a six, while Hyden was a little more conservative, scoring an unbeaten 54.

The Old Boys will resume this Saturday, just two wickets down.

Langwarrin star Adrian Mack was up against his old side Baxter on Saturday and returned the sensational figures of 5/55.

The visitors were bowled out for 144, thanks largely to Ben Smith, who top scored with 49. Shane McComb opened with 29, before becoming the first of two wickets for Nathan Volpe.

It was a slow run rate for Baxter, who faced 78.2 overs.

Langwarrin is 0/2 in reply.

Craig Entwhistle picked-up 4/42 and Nick Baron snared 3/12 for Mt Eliza in their demolition of Crib Point.

Lyle House was also on fire for the visitors with 3/28. In reply, Mt Eliza didn’t start well, losing a quick wicket.

Main Ridge ready for fight DISTRICT

By IT Gully MAIN Ridge will need to be prepared to dig in a fight for victory on day two of their match against Carrum.

In one of only three matches played in District on Saturday, Main Ridge batted first and made 227 on their small home ground.

James Abbott and Scott Millar, who are more noted for their bowling rescued the Ridge with a 99-run 11th wicket partnership.

The pair were joined together with the score 9/128.

Abbott made 55 and Millar 40 to help Main Ridge score more than 200.

Liam Dobson, Daniel Polson and new opening bowler Tyrone Gamage all picked-up two wickets each for the Lions.

Batting the last 29 overs for the day, Carrum cruised to 3/112. Dale O’Neil scored 55 and John Mitchell 24 opening the batting, while Josh Dent is unbeaten on 18. One good thing for the Ridge is the fact that Shaun Foster is back in the sheds, dismissed for a duck.

Baden Powell will need to score 169 to get a win against Seaford.

The Brave rolled the visitors for 168 in the 80th over.

Ryan McQueen top scored with 38 for Seaford while Luke McGennisken made an important 29 batting at 11. Nick Simpendorfer scored 25 batting in the middle order.

Julian Pharaoh was superb for the Braves, bowling 34 overs and finishing with figures of 7/62, including 12 maidens.

Mt Martha shouldn’t have any issues getting a win against Boneo, who was bowled out for 149.

Jack Beale was the only shining light in what was a bleak day for the Pandas, opening the batting and scoring 55 in his first senior game.

Mt Martha shared the wickets around, although skipper Curtis Stone was the pick of them with four scalps. He also ran out Beale.

Western Port News 9 December 2014

They will resume on 1/9.

Heatherhill was bowled out for 136 against Sorrento. Tyler Neal top scored for the Hills with 43.

CJ King was the star with the ball for the Sorras with 5/29, while partner in crime and brother AJ King helped himself to 3/48.

Long Island is just 75 runs short of victory against Rye. The Demons batted first and were rolled for 137, Andrew Hitchener top scoring with 33.

Scott Phillips was at his brilliant best, ripping through the Demons and finishing with the eight wickets.

Chris Hocking picked-up the other two wickets.

Mornington has set Pines 160 for victory.

Luke Harper top scored for the Dogs with 42 while all-rounders Michael Heib and Matt Foon scored 29 and 25 respectively.

Nick Wilcox was the pick of the Pines bowlers with 3/29, while Brett Remy claimed 3/50.

The smart money would still be on Mornington.

Chase is on: Boneo will have to bowl extremely well to overhaul Mt Martha in their District Match. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Rain hits Subbies for six in round six SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THERE were plenty of matches that were abandoned because of the rain in Sub District ranks on Saturday.

These matches will now be on-day games this Saturday, with the longterm weather forecast suggesting that rain will not be an issue.

There were just two games played in Sub District.

Dromana was bowled out for just 65 against Rosebud.

The amazing thing was that it took 48 overs for the Hoppers to score that ordinary total.

Adam Bryant was on fire for the Buds, picking-up 7/32 off 24 overs, giving him 23 wickets for the season.

Jason Nagel also claimed 3/31 off 24 overs.

Craig Dunlop was the only Hopper to score double figures, finishing with 13.

In reply, batting out the final 22 overs for the day, Rosebud is 0/8.

Tyabb appears to be in the box seat against Frankston YCW, just six wickets away from victory.

The Yabbies scored 160, Justin Hanna top scoring with 63 and Ben Van Wees next best with 31.

The pair put on almost 100 for the seventh wicket after the Stonecats had them 6/58 at one stage.

Paul Bradley was at his best for the Stonecats with 6/64 from 33 overs, while Adam Muirhead claimed 3/53.

In reply, the Stonecats are in some real trouble at 4/30.

Out! Boneo was bowled out for 149 in the District match against Mt Martha. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Frankston cricket champs go back to back FRANKSTON High School’s Year 8 boys’ cricket team won the State championship last Wednesday defeating Catholic College Bendigo at Silcock Reserve, Croydon. The Twenty20 format competition conducted

by School Sport Victoria saw the undefeated top four teams in the State compete in morning semi-finals with the winning teams playing the afternoon final.

Frankston’s opponent in the semi-final, Maribyrnong Sports Academy, were bowled out for 70 runs in the 18th over, with Campbell Smith (2 for 2) and Lucas Taylor (2 for 20) our best bowlers and spectacular run outs to Brad Butler, Campbell Smith and Liam Wishart.

The required target was reached in the 14th over with Brad Butler (30 off 19 balls) and James Long (21 off 23 balls) the best contributors with the bat.

Frankston’s opponent in the State final, Catholic College Bendigo, had secured a thrilling 1 run victory in their semi-final against Kew High School.

Frankston captains James Long and Liam Wishart sent Bendigo in to bat and some late innings hitting saw them post a very challenging score of 7 for 108.

The best of the bowlers were Campbell Smith (3 for 10), Max Horell (2 for 6), Lucas Taylor (1 for 19) and Tom Baker (1 for 21).

Frankston’s run chase started well but the loss of 3 quick wickets in the space of 2 overs slowed the run rate dramatically and after 10 overs their score was 3 for 37, still requiring 72 runs to win off 10 overs.

A 52 run partnership between James Long (35 off 44 balls) and Luke Frith (30 off 25 balls) got the team within reach and the winning runs were hit by Ryan Hammel (18 off 21 balls) with just four balls to spare.

The Frankston team ran onto the field to celebrate their second State title after winning the Year 7 competition last year.

Frankston’s winning team consisted of Kelby Arnold, Tom Baker, Josh Berenger, Brad Butler, Jarrod Crisp, Connor Does, Luke Frith, Ryan Hammel, Max Horell, James Long (co-captain), Campbell Smith, Lachlan Smith, Lucas Taylor and Liam Wishart (co-captain).

AWAY IN A MANGER Landscaping Building and and Gardening Renovating Equipment Equipment

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Bobcat, Excavator & Kanga Loader Hire

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Log splitter, slasher, stump grinder Equipment hire

Be near me Lord Jesus,I ask Thee to stay Close by me for ever and love me I pray Bless all the dear children in thy tender care And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star Three Wise men came from country far To seek for a King was their intent And to follow the star wherever it went.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He’s making a list, He’s checking it twice, He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.

He knows when you’ve been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake.

So you better watch out, You better not cry You better not pout, I’m telling you why.
