]]> It was the night before Christmas, Sunday, December 24 around 7pm. Peter Davies, 74 had just finished his shift as a supermarket Santa. It had been a busy evening. Davies was not done yet.

Davies was walking back to his home in Sloane Ave. In the opposite direction Jane Sexton, 24 was en route to visit her boyfriend.

“I saw Father Christmas walking towards me and beamed him a great big smile. I may not be a child anymore but I still get excited when I see Santa. I never expected to see quite so much of him.

“As he got closer I noticed he was fiddling with his suit. Finally he revealed his Christmas baubles to me and shouted ‘Secret Santa!'” Sexton told the court.

Magistrate Gillian Wright noted that this was Davies first criminal offence in his lifetime.

“I’m not sure what came over you Mr Davies but this was not in the spirit of Christmas,” Judge Wright said before sentencing Davies to 200 hours community service.

]]> The Knobble Head town council has implemented a five-point plan to rid the roads of below-par vagabond musicians. A one-man task-force, headed by local celebrity sax-player Stan Temple was up.

Temple, a session musician who played with Les McQeen in Creme Brulee during the 1980’s, spoke to KHN outlining the plan.

“Rules include no heavy metal, no freedom songs and strictly no “Work” by Rihanna”

“The problem is not busking but quality of busker’s. We are looking for more refined Muso’s. Fewer dreadful two-bob Marley impersonators and more Coltrane if you please,” said Stan Temple, music teacher at Knobble Hill Grammar School.

The five point-plan is as follows

1. Temporarily ban all busking.

2. Would-be entertainers must apply to the town council for busking licenses.

3. Licenses issued free of charge however all buskers must go through an audition before receiving a license.

4. Strict rules must be followed to retain license

Rules: No Christmas Carol’s outside of December. No freedom songs (read Bob Marley); No heavy metal; Adhere to the designated no-busking zones; Strictly no “Work” by Rihanna.

5. Residents may report any breach to the council.
