By Mike Hast and Cam McCulloughHUNDREDS of fl oral tributes have been placed outside the Jewel Shed in Hastings to remember and honour popular jeweller Dermot O’Toole.

Mr O’Toole, 64, was killed during an armed robbery of his store in High St on Friday at about 5pm.

He was stabbed after coming to the aid of his wife Bridget, 63, who was confronted by a robber as the couple was closing their store.

Ambulance paramedics rushed to the shop but could not save Mr O’Toole.

Mrs O’Toole received knife wounds to an arm and was taken to Frankston Hospital about 6pm. She was released on Saturday night after surgery.

Homicide Squad police arrested Gavin Perry, 26, of Crib Point on Saturday and charged him with murder, armed robbery and intentionally causing serious injury.

He was remanded to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

His arrest followed reports of a burnt-out car being found in Crib Point on Friday night, similar to the one allegedly used as a getaway vehicle and seen by eyewitnesses.

The death of Mr O’Toole has rocked the tight-knit Hastings community with an extra ordinary outpouring of grief displayed by fl oral tributes as well as messages on social media, including the Jewel Shed’s Facebook page.

On Sunday at 1pm, the couple’s three sons Christian, and twins Dale and Trent read a statement to Melbourne and local media in front of the Jewel Shed.

Christian O’Toole, the eldest son, said the family had been concentrating its energies on their mum Bridget.

“After we left the hospital, we stopped here to look at this beautiful tribute to a life

happily lived,” he said. “We felt that we needed to publicly thank those who have helped us.”

He said their mum and dad were insepar-able. “He was devoted to her. Nothing demonstrates this devotion more than the way in which he was so tragically taken from us.”

Christian O’Toole fi rstly thanked “those who rushed to help dad by administering CPR and calling for help”.

The compassion and professionalism of Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria “made a real difference to us in our grief”.

Staff at Frankston Hospital had been “wonderful”.

“The way in which they cared for mum was a source of immense comfort not only to her, but us also. We could never have asked for better treatment.

“We reserve our fi nal thank you to the community. We have been simply over-whelmed.”

While the three sons made their statement, several people walked up and put fl owers on the footpath outside the store.

A mother and her young daughter placed fl owers and then walked around TV cameras to hug the three men, who they knew.

Christian O’Toole said his father and mother had three grandchildren and one on the way, the child of Dale.

Trent O’Toole said his parents had ope-rated their jewellery store in Hastings for 27 years.

The Jewel Shed moved across High St to larger premises about two months ago.

Christian O’Toole told The News the funeral of his father would be public. A date and location had not yet been decided, he said.More stories and pictures on Pages 2-3.

Western Port News 16 July 2013

SOCIAL media was fl ooded with condolences for the O’Toole family. Posts about the robbery received more than 57,000 views on the Mornington Peninsula News Group Facebook page.

One by Nik Myhill summed up the mood:“Rest in peace, Dermot. I’m 42. I see a few names in this post that

I went to school with, a couple I’ve hung out with, and one that I married. If you are around 40, chances are Dermot and Bridget sold you a necklace for your sweetheart in your teenage years.

In your 20s you are more than likely wearing an engagement and wedding ring made by Dermot.

If you’re in your 40s and divorced, you probably bought an engagement and wedding ring from Dermot for your second marriage. We’ve bought crucifi xes for our granddaughters, tongue rings for our daughters, signet rings for our sons and eternity rings for our soul mates. Dermot and Bridget are a part of our lives, a ‘constant’ in Hastings. Always a smile, an Irish joke, but always the absolute pleasure and pride in their craft.”

Cards on fl oral tributes outside the store included:“To dear Bridget and family, our little community has our arms

wrapped around you and your family.”“To the O’Toole family, RIP Dermot. At this sad and diffi cult time

our own hearts go out to you.”Condolences on the Jewel Shed’s Facebook page included:“The loss of such a beautiful man is so sad. To Bridget our heart goes

out to you and your boys. RIP Dermot.”

‘We know you have us in your‘We know you have us in yourknow that you are firmly inknow that you are firmly in

ON Sunday, this note was placed on the door of the Jewel Shed in High St, Hastings, by Christian, Dale and Trent O’Toole, the sons of Dermot and Bridget O’Toole:

“We thank you all for your support. Obviously, this is a very diffi cult time for us. Dermot was special – a kind and devoted husband, and loving father and grandfather. Words cannot do justice to how profoundly we will feel his loss.

However, your well-wishes, thoughts and prayers are a true source of comfort to us all.

Bridget did not want to remove the fl owers, only the cards, because it is a touching tribute to the man she spent all her time with. Despite Dermot’s well-known sense of humour, optimism and capacity to light up a room, he was a humble man who found joy in the simplest things. He would never have imagined that he was held in such high regard. It is more comforting for us to let your heart-felt gesture remain because we understand that you are grieving too … that we grieve together.

Our thoughts are with you, too.Despite the tragedy of his sudden passing, Dermot has brought us all

together as he always did.Our immense gratitude and love to you.The O’Toole Family.”

THIS is the statement Christian O’Toole, suppported by his brothers Dale and Trent, read to the media outside the Jewel Shed in Hastings on Sunday afternoon:

“Thank you for coming this after-noon. We think it is appropriate that we make this statement here in front of the business that came to mean so much to Dad and through which many came to know him.

We are not prepared to take ques-tions at the end.

Dale, Trent and I were reluctant to make any comment before now be-cause our energies have been directed towards our Mum who was released from hospital last night. We were also not prepared to say anything without

her permission. After we left the hospital, we stopped here to look at this beautiful tribute to a life happily lived. We felt that we needed to pub-licly thank those who have helped us.

Since Friday, many have comment-ed on Dad’s warmth, sense of humour (for which he was well known here), generosity and optimism. What we now offer is slightly more. Nothing made Dad happier than his family. He always knew what we needed, whether it was a hug or a laugh. He took pride in any of our achieve-ments, no matter how small.

We played golf together and even last Sunday he took us and his grand-son to watch Essendon at Etihad.

We are sure he will watch this after-

noon’s match with interest.As his family extended to include

daughters-in-law, so did his love. His three grandchildren provided him with much joy, and was another reason for him to express his inner child (which was never far below the surface).

He was delighted at the news that a fourth grandchild is on the way, attending a number of ultrasounds through which he laughed. We know Dad will be with the family when the baby is born.

What stands out, however, for us was how Mum and Dad were insepa-rable. He was devoted to her. Nothing demonstrates this devotion more than the way in which he was so tragically

taken from us. In short, our time with Dad was a happy, loving one.

If we could, we would like to express our appreciation to a number of people.

Firstly, thanks to those who rushed to help Dad by administering CPR and calling for help.

Secondly, the Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria. Their compas-sion and professionalism made a real difference to us in our grief.

Thirdly, the wonderful staff at Frankston Hospital. The way in which they cared for Mum was a source of immense comfort not only to her, but us also. We could never have asked for better treatment.

We reserve our fi nal thank you to

the community. We have been simply overwhelmed. Dad took pride in his shop, but it was you, the people who he loved to work with that made turning up day after day for 26 years so rewarding. We want you to know that the reason why he was always so happy when you came to him was because he loved being with you. We know you grieve with us. We know you have us in your hearts and we want you to know that you are fi rmly in ours.

Finally, we now ask the media to give us space to grieve and respect our privacy.

Thank you. Christian O’Toole”

By Mike HastTWO major roads, a railway line and Tyabb airfi eld were closed on Thurs-day afternoon and Friday morning af-ter a road tanker carrying 39,000 litres of unleaded petrol rolled at a round-about just north of Hastings.

It was the second fuel tanker rollover at the intersection of Frankston-Flin-ders Rd and Western Port Highway in the past 21 months.

The accident, which occured about 3pm on Thursday, has led to calls for the roundabout to be redesigned or re-placed by traffi c lights.

Fast action by CFA crews from Ty-abb and Hastings stopped fuel enter ing waterways and drains before they were joined by CFA volunteers from Dande-nong, Narre Warren, Somerville, Crib Point, Bittern, Red Hill, Mt Martha, Moorooduc and Mornington.

The driver of the Transpacifi c-brand-ed truck from the Scott’s Transport stable was shaken but unhurt.

Frankston-Flinders Rd was closed in both directions between Coolart and Graydens roads, and Western Port High-way was detoured to Bungower Rd.

The CFA also ordered the closure of Tyabb airfi eld and stopped the Stony Point train between Hastings and Somerville.

The two main roads were expected to be closed for much of the weekend.

Metro Trains spokeswoman Larisa Tait said services resumed at 5.35 on

Thursday afternoon. “Normal services ran this morning [Friday] until 6.30am when the CFA requested trains stopped again,” she said.

CFA incident controller Mi chael Willmott said that after covering the scene with foam, fi refi ghters worked throughout the night to decant the fuel.

On Friday morning he said there was about “750 litres of the total load remaining in the truck. The fuel spilt onto the road is being removed by spe-cialist crews”.

Mr Willmott said CFA hazmat detec-tion teams with specialist equipment were called in to detect fl ammable lev-els of the remaining vapours.

The truck was righted using a large airbag and towed away for inspection.

“Once the truck was removed, Vic-Roads assessed the condition of the road and started planning resurfacing works,” Mr Willmott said.

Recovery teams moved in to clean up the remaining fuel and foam. A road tanker carrying fuel from a petroleum depot in Hastings rolled at exactly the same place at about mid-night on 22 October 2011. The impact ruptured several of the truck’s six compartments, spilling 38,000 litres of diesel, unleaded and premium un-leaded petrol into stormwater drains and culverts. About 12,000 litres was recovered, but about 26,000 litres fl owed onto the road and into drains and culverts.

By Keith PlattAN unusual-looking dog may lead police to a gang of mo-torcycle riders who brutally bashed a Hastings father of two.

The man, in his early 40s, was admitted to hospital twice for surgery after being attacked in front of his wife and child ren on waste ground near West Park.

He suffered deep cuts to his head and face, and was bruised extensively on his body after being knocked to the ground and set upon by four or fi ve men.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Darren Sherren of Hastings CIU said the man was bashed after chasing a dog from his backyard to protect his wife and sons, aged 11 and 12.

The man’s wife believes the dog is a Dogue de Bordeaux, or French mastiff, and would be easily identifi able.

Detective Sheehan said a motorcyclist twice tried to run the man down after he followed the dog onto the reserve be-hind West Park and the United service station at the corner of Hodgins and Frankston-Flinders roads.

The vacant land contains several burnt-out stolen cars and is regularly used by motorcyclists.

“The rider of the bike is then said to have put the bike down, run over towards the victim and called to a group of his friends who were gathered at the border of the property tree line and the reserve, some also on motorbikes.”

Detective Sheehan said the man believed at least four 17-25-year-olds wearing motorbike-riding gear joined the fi rst rider in attacking him and pushing him to the ground.

“The victim got back up and was again assaulted, causing him to fall to the ground again and again, with members of the group continuing to assault him when he was on the ground.”

Detective Sheehan said the gang urged the dog to join the attack but it seemed more confused than aggressive.

CHARITY group the Westernport Community Bucket is being offi cially launched on the last day of winter, Saturday 31 August.

The group was formed by Steve Hosking and Mark Farrell to help their fellow workers made redundant by BlueScope Steel.

The initial help they gave to the workers inspired them to offer help to the wider community, from Baxter to Balnarring.

“We are hoping many of the people we have helped in the past are able to attend to share with everyone the work we do,” Mr Hosking said.

“We want to continue this for the years to come.”

Mr Hosking describes the community bucket as a “charitable organisation aimed entirely at our community”.

He is hoping to attract 200 people to the launch at the Victoriana Function Centre at Harbour View Motor Inn in Hastings and is appealing for donations of goods for a raffl e, door prize, auction and silent auction.

Tickets are $40 each and include entertainment and three-course meal. Drinks will be available from the bar.

For details, call Steve Hosking on0425 752 376 or email [email protected]

By Keith PlattPAUL Albers looks far beyond the Earth for his weather reports when planning a photographic shoot.

The peak of two years spent trying to capture the perfect image of the Aurora Australis was realised at Balnarring Beach late last month.

As an astrophotographer, Mr Albers chooses his shooting nights after checking sunspot activity and solar winds.

At 9pm on Saturday 29 June, the heavenly weather conditions combined with Balnarring’s clear skies to give him the opportunity to record the aurora’s tell-tale green glow.

“The real trick with imaging aurorae is to know when one is going to appear,” Mr Albers, a member of Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society, said.

Using the internet, he was able to track the 11-year peak of sunspot activity and knew the chance of seeing the Aurora Australis was most likely within the next two days.

“Sunspot activity is important because it contributes towards solar eruptions, which astronomers call solar fl ares and coronal mass ejections,” Mr Albers said. “When the sun has one of these eruptions, it sends charged particles to the Earth.

“The solar wind is full of these charged particles and can hit a part of the Earth’s atmosphere known as the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere protects the Earth from these violent storms, which have the potential to

interfere with global communications.“The magnetosphere has two layers,

called Van Allen Belts, which are usually weakest at the North and South poles.

“The charged particles leak into our atmosphere at the poles and charge elements within it like hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

“Because an element tends to return to its balanced state, a photon is released during the process. This is why we see the colours and the magic light show of the aurora.”

Mr Albers was ready for the 29 June light show because of an M class fl are

on the sun two days previously.A “keen astrophotographer” for more

than four years, he usually focuses on “deep sky objects” such as galaxies, nebulae, open and globular clusters.

For the technically minded, his images are made through telescopes with a Pentax KX digital camera. For the Balnarring Beach shots, he used a Samyang 14mm wide-angle lens at f2.8 on a tripod. The ISO was 3200 for a 30-second RAW exposure.

“Astrophotography doesn’t need to be complex and you will be surprised at the images a simple camera on a tripod can achieve,” Mr Albers said.

Some of his earlier images have been used by Channel 10 news and for the ABC weather, and he has given lectures about auroras during National Science Week and at astrological club meetings.

“The most common question I am asked when people look at my images is ‘Do you actually see the colour represented in the image with the naked eye?’ The simple answer is no. The eye doesn’t have the same colour sensitivity as a standard DSLR camera.

“There have been times when I have witnessed intense aurorae.”

By Chris BrennanFRANKSTON and the Mornington Peninsula are vying for millions of dollars worth of conservation and land care projects through the federal Coali-tion’s proposed Green Army program, which aims to recruit the largest stand-ing environmental workforce in Aus-tralia’s history.

If elected, the Coalition would build a national environmental conservation workforce of about 15,000 people to work with councils, bush care groups and local catchment authorities to pro-vide “real and practical solutions” to local land management issues.

But the $300 million funding alloca-tion for the Green Army announced by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott last week was well down on the $400 million originally budgeted when Mr Abbott fi rst launched the idea in 2010 in the lead-up to the previous federal election, drawing fi re from the govern-ment and some environmental groups.

The Coalition would allocate up to $50 million for the fi rst year of the project, slated to begin on 1 July 2014, to undertake 250 projects across the country, building to 1500 projects in-volving a workforce of up to 15,000 mostly young people by 2018-19.

Opposition environment spokes-man and Flinders MP Greg Hunt said Frankston and the peninsula region would most likely have projects up

and running in the fi rst year, bringing much-needed jobs and training oppor-tunities to the area, while also provid-ing a “huge boost” to the local envi-ronment.

Mr Hunt said several “high qual-ity applications from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region for a variety of projects” had already been received and each was currently going through the approval process.

Successful projects in the area would be announced “in the near fu-ture”, most likely within the next two months.

“The starting date for the Green Army program is July 1, 2014 and I would expect to see projects operating in the Frankston and Mornington Pen-insula region from that date,” Mr Hunt told The News.

“These projects will provide local young people with crucial skills and on-the-job experience in conservation and land management, as well as im-proving the natural environment for all local residents.”

Under the scheme, teams of 10 young trainees and a qualifi ed supervi-sor would work over a six-month pe-riod on selected local remediation and conservation projects.

Participants would receive a training allowance – estimated at about $16 an hour – and gain work skills and poten-tial qualifi cations.

“I hope joining the Green Army will become a rite of passage for hundreds of local young people throughout the Flinders electorate in the years ahead,” Mr Hunt said.

“Joining the Green Army will teach many young people about teamwork, local ownership and about the value of belonging to something greater than yourself.

“Green Army projects would com-plement the work of local environmen-tal and Landcare groups as well as the environmental work undertaken by councils.”

The Green Army scheme was an-nounced as a “signature program” for the Coalition and falls under its direct action plan on climate change, which aims to tackle global environmental challenges through local efforts rather than a carbon price mechanisation, as implemented by the current federal government.

Mr Abbott said direct action pro-vided “the opportunity for individuals, communities, organisations and com-panies to help address our environ-mental challenges”.

“The Coalition will deliver a cleaner environment and a more sustainable future without the impost of a carbon tax, which is causing real economic damage to our economy and the living standards of Australians,” he said at last week’s Green Army policy launch.

“By strengthening the economy and

Coalition’s armyCoalition’s army‘short on green’‘short on green’

living within our means, the Coalition will be able to take direct action to improve the environment and reduce carbon emissions in a practical and af-fordable way.”

The federal government dismissed the scheme as being poorly costed, badly designed and a scaled-down, re-

badged version of the policy it took to the previous election.

Environment Minister Mark Butler said the Coalition was simply trying to “greenwash” its plan to slash funding for climate change and environment programs, and would do nothing to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

On the marsh: Tony Abbott and Greg Hunt, pictured last year at Rosebud while announcing a southern peninsula foreshore and creek rejuvenation project, are banking on local schemes such as the Green Army to address climate change.

By Chris BrennanRENOWNED environmentalist and Climate Commission chief Tim Flannery will visit Mornington next month to discuss the latest fi ndings on the state of planet and address the status of the battle to curb climate change.

The one-time Australian of the Year and current chairman of the Copenhagen Climate Council and Chief Climate Commissioner is one of the world’s foremost climate change experts and a staunch proponent of renewable energy and the need to move away from reliance on conventional coal-powered power stations.

Professor Flannery will be joined by Climate Commissioners Professors Will Steffen and Veena Sahajwalla to present the latest information on climate risks and the actions needed to tackle them in a free talk on August 6 at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington.

The evening has been organised as part of the shire council’s “commitment to a sustainable peninsula” policy and is open to all members of the public.

Information scheduled to be presented includes the fi ndings of Climate Commission’s Critical Decade and Renewable Energy reports.

The Climate Commission is a panel of leading scientists and business experts that was set up two years ago by the federal Labor government to provide reliable, science-based information on climate change.

Its key tasks include providing the Australian public with information on the science behind climate change, international actions being taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the economics of a carbon price.

The commission’s fi rst report, The Critical Decade, found that global climate change was a matter of fact and human activity was almost certainly the dominant cause, stating: “The risks have never been clearer and the case for action has never been more urgent.”

Released in 2011, the report warned the current decade (2011-2020) was the critical period to turn around rising emissions of greenhouse gases and put the planet on a path to stabilising the climate system in order to minimise temperature rises.

Also to be discussed during the talk will be details of the commission’s 15th report on renewable energy, which argues that Australia has an enormous but under-utilised potential for renewable energy and that we need to act quickly in order to keep up with global trends and avoid the worst effects of climate change, of which the burning of fossil fuels is the major contributor.

For more than 10 years, Mornington Peninsula Shire says it has has operated under a policy to work toward environmentally, economically and socially sustainable outcomes in all of its activities and the free Climate Commission event forms part of this committment.

While the event is free, places are limited and bookings essential.

The evening with Professor Tim Flannery and the Climate Commission is from 7-8.30pm on Tuesday 6 August at Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

To book, call 5987 3078.

By Mike HastTHE Archibald Prize fi nalists exhi bi tion at Morn-ington Peninsula Regional Gallery generated at least $1.4 million of economic activity, says gal-lery director Jane Alexander.

And she said when more information became available, the fi gure could turn out to be even higher. About 70 per cent of visitors to the Morn-ington gallery visited other peninsula towns, spending money on accommodation, shopping and dining, she said.

About 48,000 people attended the month-long exhibition, which closed on Sunday 7 July.

Ms Alexander said the gallery and associated service providers “made income in the vicinity of $750,000, including shop and cafe operations”.

“Much of this income was invested in the proj-ect and community including two new car parks, pathways, tempo rary structures, security, staffi ng and wages, supplies and products, etc.”

Ms Alexander said the gallery had employed

30 people on a full and part-time basis “over and above the normal staffi ng arrangements”.

“All these people live in the local region. Fif-teen were senior students from Mornington Pen-insula secondary schools.”

She said many local businesses sup ported the event by supplying services, temporary facilities and specialist ad vice. Early data indicated that 30 per cent of visitors were from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston (14,400).

“The remaining 70 per cent came from Mel-bourne and suburbs, Victoria and interstate (33,600).”

Ms Alexander said the gallery was “endeavour-ing to get more accurate” data that would show the percentage of visitors living within a 30-min-ute drive of the gallery.

Last year’s Archibald exhibition at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Hea les ville brought an esti-mated $4 mil lion and 50,000 people to the town in the Yarra Valley.

By Mike HastTHE proposal to use an old quarry on Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana as a rubbish tip, or landfi ll, has hit its fi rst major roadblock.

A senior shire planner says the coun-cil should not support Peninsula Waste Management’s application to the En-vironment Protection Authority for a works approval permit.

Councillors considered the report from planner Sotirios Katakouzinos at a special meeting on Monday night.

Mr Katakouzinos states “the sub-mitted works approval application [to the EPA] should not be supported by council as [it] does not adequately ad-dress the signifi cant concerns raised in this report”.

“The proponent [PWM] should pro-vide the additional information that is sought and demonstrate how the pro-posal addresses not only the require-ments of the BPEM and other guide-lines but also all of the 11 principles of the EP Act.”

(BPEM is the EPA’s Best Practice Environmental Management for land-fi lls and EP Act is the Environment Pro tection Act 1970.)

Mr Katakouzinos states that his ma-jor concerns include: More information is needed on the management of possible overfl ow from leachate tanks, which will be used to hold polluted water from the rubbish tip in the short term. PWM’s longer-term plan to pump leachate to the South East Water se-werage treatment plant has not been “properly developed”. “South East Water must approve of the proposed

sewer connection before planning ap-proval is granted and it is not clear whether any feasibility has been done on this aspect of the proposal,” he stated. “Sealing of roads on the site and mulching/vegetation of exposed areas as proposed does not appear to comply with the requirements in the BPEM guidelines. This must be clarifi ed and further details provided.” Details of the proposed pest control program are insuffi cient. There is insuffi cient information about dust suppression measures. PWM’s plan states leachate will be used for dust suppression. “Further in-formation is required on how this will be managed without posing a health risk to staff and landfi ll users.” PWM’s acoustic report concludes the landfi ll will not comply with state noise rules and must be amended to detail how the landfi ll will fully com-ply. “The applicant has acknowledged that the landfi ll will not meet the mini-mum setback distance of 500 metres from all neighbouring sensitive land uses. A setback of 480 metres is pro-posed. The application should not be supported unless it meets EPA setback distances.” “The risk matrix assesses the fi re risk as low. This should have been rat-ed as high – while the incidence may be low, the severity of the impact to infrastructure outside of the site could potentially be catastrophic. A detailed fi re management plan is required to ad-dress this issue.”

Another concern is that an earth-

Quarry tip plan flawed: plannerQuarry tip plan flawed: planner

quake fault zone runs across the south-ern end of the quarry.

Mr Katakouzinos states EPA guide-lines are that landfi lls should “avoid sites within 100 metres of a fault line”.

“At the south, the quarry excavation depth is 140 metres. The sides of the quarry are steep with slopes ranging from 1:1 to near vertical,” Mr Katak-ouzinos states.

“The exposed quarry has some un-stable rock faces – some stabilisation works will be needed prior to landfi ll construction to provide a safe work environment.

“The steepness of these slopes com-bined with the location of the fault line both do not to comply with the BPEM. There is a need to examine the risk as-sessment on these matters.”

Mr Katakouzinos states there is no Alternative Waste Treatment cur-rently proposed for the site.

“It should be noted that there are a

number of AWTs successfully ope-rating in Victoria for organics. This technology could be applied at the site with the inert waste going to landfi ll. As a minimum, a state-of-the-art pre-sorting facility should be available on site as well as recycling facilities.”

He states a modern AWT would ac-cept and process mixed solid waste us-ing mechanical processing, bio lo gical or thermal processing, and would ex-tract recyclable and organic materials.

PWM’s application to the EPA makes no reference to climate change, “which must be taken into account”.

“This will have an impact across the life of the proposal. This must be ad-dressed in areas such as the intensity of the fl ow rates during 1-in-100 Ave-rage Recurrence Interval storms, and other climatic events.

“It is concerning that in the upper liner, the permeability of the leachate collection aggregate is less than spe ci-

fi ed within the BPEM, while the per-formance standard is exceeded. The specifi cation in the BPEM must be met.

“The integrity of the liner must be confi rmed given the stressors that it will be subject to. Technology should be employed that confi rms the integ-rity of the liner.

“The proponent has not identifi ed how the leachate system will be main-tained during later stages of fi lling when access is restricted because of the site constraints. This needs to be explained now and should not be a condition of approval.”

Mr Katakouzinos is concerned about how PWM plans to extract methane gas as the rubbish tip fi lls.

“The proponent must provide more information about how the landfi ll gas will be contained and extracted prior to any works approval.

“While the land is currently bush-land, the site will be emitting odour and gases for many years to come.

“The land to the northwest is Arthurs Seat State Park. Expecting the odour buffer to extend into the park impacts detrimentally on the enjoyment of the park values. This does not meet BPEM requirements.”

Although Mr Katakouzinos says the council should not support the appli-cation to the EPA, confusingly he rec-ommends that the council “does not object and does not support” the EPA application.

Another recommendation is that the council requests the EPA to hold a conference of all people with an in-terest in the matter, a so-called 20B meeting.


By Mike HastSIGNS of the times are popping up around the southern peninsula as the anti-tip campaign gains momentum.

Peninsula Preservation Group – the lead objector to the plan to put a rubbish tip, or landfi ll, in the old Pioneer quarry at Dromana – has distributed more than 300 anti-tip signs to members and supporters, as well as bumper stickers.

The signs have been appearing on freeway bridges, in people’s front yards and on fences, beside roads and, cheekily, next to Hillview Quarries’ entrance on Boundary Rd in Dromana.

Hillview Quarries and tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management are owned by the R E Ross Trust.

Peninsula Preservation Group president Jacinta Banks said the group now had almost 12,000 signatures on an internet petition opposing the tip, as well as 7000 signatures on paper petitions, which have been circulating since Australia Day.

The campaign took off in early June when the group held its fi rst public meeting at Dromana Hall, soon after Peninsula Waste Management submitted applications for the tip to the Environment Protection Authority and Mornington Peninsula Shire, both of which need to approve the plan for it to go ahead.

More than 500 people packed the hall to hear about the tip and how they could object. Ms Banks said

the EPA had received more than 850 submissions.

The environmental watchdog would be holding a public conference to hear objectors later this month or in early August, she said.

A venue has not been fi xed but, given the number of objectors, the most likely venue is Peninsula Community Theatre, which holds about 500 people.

In other developments, one of the trustees of Ross Trust, Ian Vaughan, met members of PWM’s community reference group on Tuesday afternoon last week.

An independent facilitator hired by the EPA, Bruce Turner, met members of Peninsula Preservation Group and

other objectors at the Dromana Hotel on Tuesday night last week. Mr Turner worked for the shire as a facilitator on green wedge management plans and on the controversial Mornington harbour marina proposal.

Ms Banks said Peninsula Preservation Group was recruiting members and seeking donations in expectation of legal action over the tip proposal.

Call out to fl y white balloonsfor BraveheartsVOLUNTEERS are being sought to help the Bravehearts organisation raise awareness of child sexual assault with its White Balloon Day on 6 September.

The Australia-wide event is part of National Child Protection Week, with funds raised going toward education, prevention and counselling programs.

“Government research shows one in fi ve Australian children will be sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday – or 59,000 annually,” Bravehearts founder and executive director Hetty Johnston said.

“Equally alarming is the fact that in 85 per cent of cases, the offender is known to the child and is a relative or a trusted friend.”

Ms Johnston said the balloon day is a symbol of hope for survivors of this devastating crime.

“White Balloon Day is about encouraging kids to come forward and break the silence, while we raise the necessary funds to ensure vital support networks and programs can continue.

“Silence, secrecy and shame are the sex offender’s best friends and the child’s worst enemies.

“Unless victims come forward, many other children remain targets for sex offenders.

“Supporting White Balloon Day can be as simple as tying a white balloon to your letterbox or as grand as hosting a fundraising function.”

AROUND THE REGION

EMU is in mourning. He is off his tucker, listless and fey – but not, in the Scottish sense of that word, seeing his own death. He is lamenting Julia’s political demise.

He is an admirer of strong, feisty females (just look at his choice of lifelong partner, the redoubtable Mrs Emu) and sympathised deeply with Ms Gillard’s minority government predicament.

Emu knows about minority rule. He believes he is the only male on the peninsula lacking authority over the TV remote control. He wishes he had Julia’s negotiating skills, if only for Friday night footy.

In the circumstances, Julia did magnifi cently.

Now, he muses, we have Kevin Rudd, the Papier-Mâché man, back as prime minister and Tony Abbott chirping a little less surely as the public rushes from his political carnival booth to the re-patched and reinvigorated Rudd tent.

Emu is also lamenting the media’s role in Julia’s downfall. The Canberra press gallery now reminds him of a pack of Cape Hunting CHK dogs, always alert for a limping zebra to run down. Who will be next?

Too much was made of Gillard’s gender; too little was made of her predicament as a minority leader and how much she and her government achieved through her cool negotiating skills – this lack of salesmanship being the grievous fault of her advisers, her colleagues and herself.

The fault also lay with the trivia-obsessed national media, not so much interested in the mundanities of governance as in fl uttering around the

Alas, poor Julia, downed by packAlas, poor Julia, downed by pack

porch light of the lightweight and the ephemeral.

Emu agrees with outgoing independent MP Tony Windsor that Mr Abbott may have found the going very tough indeed had he, the non-negotiating political bovver boy, been installed as PM by the independents in place of Ms Gillard.

Like many women, Mrs Emu didn’t like the nation’s fi rst female PM. The

best reasons she ever came up with echo the mantras of the Abbott camp: Julia lied about the carbon tax; she failed to stop the boats; she failed to deliver budget surpluses. And so on.

But the Emus both agree that the process of toppling her has severely damaged our democracy.

At its base has been media acceptance – now regarded as a clever political tactic – that policy debate should yield to slogans and sound bites, that the populace should be guided by calmly objective commentators such as the Alan Joneses and Howard Sattlers of radio and the Bolts and Devines of newspapers, working for the calmly objective Rupert Murdoch.

Emu suspects (and Mrs Emu, hogging the remote, agrees) that many modern Canberra media reptiles can’t cope intellectually with policy that requires more than three short sentences to explain; journalists who, anyway, seek to be players rather than reporters.

The politicians themselves have created this whirlwind, which, Emu expects, will consume many of them and is currently cannibalising once-thundering newspapers, brought low over decades by boards of accountants and lawyers, aided by an old foreigner for whom power trumps objective journalism.

Vale Julia. Vale the mighty metro newspapers, the Fourth Estate, once our truthsayers, our vital guardians of a vibrant democracy, adherents of the grand Latin maxim “Magna est veritas et praevalet” – “Great is truth and mighty above all things”.

What comes next?

OPINIONBy Sue PennicuikREPORTS that the state government has received two confi dential reports linking channel deepening to coastal erosion in the south of Port Phillip and the loss of Portsea front beach are no surprise to locals and others who have been watching the changes in the south of the bay since the channel deepening project ended.

Information about the state of Port Phillip belongs to the public, not the Department of Environment and Pri-mary Industries (DEPI) or the Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC).

PoMC has refused to release the full range of data it has collected on the changed bathymetry in Port Phillip since channel deepening.

I have asked for this information through the Parliament and through Freedom of Information and have not been given access to the range of meaningful data that would allow the Parliament and the public to see just what has happened and is happening in Port Phillip and how much more water is entering and leaving on each tide.

PoMC has repeatedly denied that the loss of Portsea Beach is the result of channel deepening, when all the signs that people have been observing for nearly four years point to that clearly being the case.

Now one of the studies is confi rm-ing that the size and velocity of waves

refl ected towards Portsea front beach appear to have increased.

The research also found that wave energy had been redistributed along Mornington Peninsula beaches, which is also no surprise to those of us who have seen for ourselves the larger and more powerful swells at the southern end of the peninsula over the past four years.

Evidence that channel deepening has enabled larger ships to enter Port Phil-lip is and always has been opaque and dubious.

Many scientists warned that allow-ing signifi cantly larger volumes of water into Port Phillip Heads could lead to just the sort of outcomes we are seeing, but they were dismissed and derided at the time.

What is most galling is the decision-makers who ignored these warnings have escaped any responsibility for the damage done in the south of Port Phil-lip, which is likely to be irreversible and ongoing.

The DEPI stands by its position that there are no issues from channel deep-ening in relation to erosion at Portsea.

This offi cial denial has to end. Port Phillip is public property and an im-portant ecological system.

The government and PoMC should release all the data and information they have, and continue to collect, on the changes to Port Phillip. Sue Pennicuik is the Greens MP for Southern Metropolitan Region.

By David HarrisonCAN councillors effectively be pre-vent ed from commenting on planning issues such as the Arthurs Seat tip pro-posal before they come to council?

Mornington Peninsula Shire and Vic torian Local Government Associa-tion (VLGA) disagree.

In The News earlier in the month (“Stay silent on rubbish tip, shire warns councillors”, 2/7/13), a shire document, Proposed Landfi ll Bound-ary Road Dromana, ad vised council-lors not to offer advice to constituents on the proposal.

The document stated that “it is not appropriate for council, councillors or council offi cers to provide advice to any party involved, or interested, in a particular development application or approval process”.

By contrast, the VLGA stated on 23 April 2010 that while councillors must not indicate they have made up their minds on proposals, they “have a community representative role and their constituents expect them to make comments about current and forthcom-ing issues”.

But it warned against using language such as a development would occur “over my dead body”. Instead, it ad-vised responses along the lines of “My current view is that it is hard to justify [a development], but I will need to

consider the actual application before fi nally making up my mind”.

The VLGA advice continued: “This is a discipline you [councillors] will need to accept if you want to be able to express a view on planning issues but also want local governments to continue to play the role they do in the planning process.

“Administrations do need to advise councillors about” making up their minds in advance, but this “should not be used to try to prevent councillors making any comments on any issues yet to be considered by the council”.

The shire had also warned that “council could not be considered free of prejudice or bias if it favoured one party over another or it provided assis-

tance to one party it did not offer to all other parties”.

The Dromana rubbish tip issue is made even more Byzantine by the shire’s report on the tip application, to be heard at Monday’s council meeting.

In an apparent effort to make the po-sition utterly clear, an offi cer writes: “... council, as council (as opposed to council as Responsible Authority), may make comments on an application for works approval.”

“The EPA must take into consider-ation any support or objection received from council as Responsible Authority and may consider any comments made by council in any other capacity.”

This appears to suggest that council has two voices – that “council as Re-sponsible Authority” may make com-ments on the tip application that it is prevented from making as “council”.

It then hastens to assure readers that “The report is not an assessment of the merits of the planning application lodged with council”. The views of “council” cannot, it seems, be revealed for fear of bias.

Finally, to put the matter beyond dis-pute, the report recommends that the shire notifi es the EPA that it “does not object and does not support” the quar-ry application – as you would expect.

But what does the Responsible Au-thority think?

HEIDI Hindmarsh is helping Cambodians gain a clearer view of their surroundings.

A registered nurse on Peninsula Health’s casual list, Ms Hindmarsh is the founder of the Nursing Kids in Cambodia organisation.

The organisation is made up of a team of self-funded nurses who once a year travel to Cambodia to run medical clinics in the poor provinces around the capital, Phnom Penh.

This Galaxy is This Galaxy is staying putstaying putHASTINGS-based Galaxy Print and design is anxious to let people know that it is still in business.

A similar-named business at Mentone last week emailed customers to say it was “closing its doors”.

“After 19 years, we have made the decision to move on and investigate new business opportu-nities,” the email.

Dave Hilet, who runs Galaxy Print and Design with his wife Anita, said some of his customers had called to fi nd out what was happening.

“Nothing’s happening to us,” he said. “And I’ve told them we’re still open for business, with no intention of closing.”

Dredging linked to Dredging linked to Portsea beach lossPortsea beach lossBy Mike HastDESTRUCTION of Portsea’s iconic front beach has been linked to dredg-ing of Port Phillip Heads in 2008.

Two reports commissioned by the state government reveal what the go-vernment and Port of Melbourne Cor-poration have denied for four years.

The government through its Offi ce of the Environmental Monitor (OEM) – set up by the Labor government to oversee the 2008-09 dredging project – and the Port of Melbourne blamed natural causes such as storms, higher sea levels and natural erosion.

But environmental company Wa-ter Technologies of Notting Hill has con cluded that increased swell com-ing into Port Phillip from Bass Strait because of dredging was the real cul-prit for the devastating erosion of the beach either side of Portsea pier.

The report, Review of Wave Trans-formation Processes Through Port Phillip Heads, says dredging, also known formally as the channel deep-ening project (CDP), created channels that allowed larger and more powerful waves to sweep into the beach.

After receiving the report, the gov-ernment through its Department of Environment and Primary Industries in March asked the CSIRO to review all consultants’ reports that had led the OEM to claim dredging was not the cause of Portsea erosion.

The CSIRO review included analy-

sing the Water Technologies report, which was commissioned after pres-sure from Nepean Ratepayers Asso-ciation, including its president Colin Watson, as well as Cr Tim Rodgers and Portsea residents such as million-aire Portsea Hotel owner Chris Morris.

The CSIRO report, Review of OEM assessment of potential causes of beach erosion at Portsea, stated that an earlier wave modelling report used by the OEM concluded that swell waves reaching Portsea Beach from Bass Strait did not pass over the dredged portion of The Heads.

But the CSIRO stated the earlier re-port also showed wave energy at The Heads “refracted towards the Portsea region and small changes in the model setup may have led to a different con-clusion”.

The report stated a change in the local wave conditions was the likely cause of the erosion at Portsea but this could not be measured accurately due to a lack of “long wave records at Portsea beach that predate the erosion event and CDP”.

“It is conceivable that the CDP may have increased the height of waves im-pacting the beach at Portsea and there-fore some degree of attribution to the CDP is possible”.

The CSIRO called for additional wave data to be collected at Portsea.

The government has agreed to this with Nepean MP Martin Dixon late

last month saying “further monitoring of wave characteristics will be carried out over the next 12 months”.

“The Department of Environment and Primary Industries is hopeful that the data from this offshore monitoring will help identify the root cause of the increased swell at Portsea and will in-form a long-term approach to success-fully restoring the beach,” Mr Dixon said.

Port of Melbourne Corporation CEO Stephen Bradford has consistently said dredging was not to blame for the loss of Portsea Beach.

In August 2010 at a meeting of Port-sea people to discuss the beach loss, organised by shire councillor Tim Rod-gers, Mr Bradford told this writer that dredging had not caused the Portsea erosion.

On the weekend, Port of Melbourne Corporation spokesman Peter Harry reportedly defended earlier testing, saying there had been extensive scien-tifi c research “in accordance with the environmental management plan”.

The corporation was required to put up a $100 million bond to cover any environmental damage caused by the dredging project. The money was re-turned in April. The reports can be downloaded from:www.dse.vic.gov.au/coasts-and-marine/coasts/portsea-protection-works

Surf’s up: It’s hard to tell the difference nowadays between Portsea’s front beach and its surf beach on Bass Strait. This picture of surfers near the pier was taken by former Portsea Hotel co-owner and manager Andrew Henderson in September 2012.

Unquestionably one of the greatest places to live in Victoria, Somers has lived up to its reputation offering a quiet, safe and enviable lifestyle for the young at heart. With properties highly sought after in the area, Somers boasts one of the most protected, safest & quietest beaches in Victoria, ideal for beach walks, swimming, sifting through rock pools or sailing. Just some of the attractions of a Somers lifestyle are the dolphins often seen frolicking close by the waters edge, resident koalas, lovely locals and the inviting atmosphere of the social meeting places - Somers Post Office, yacht and tennis clubs, Coolart Homestead and the local Boulevard Cafe.Despite very few small land subdivisions for housing, Somers has not seen any major development since the 1920’s and has retained much of the beauty Somers residents continue to love and appreciate. With the added advantage of the green wedge we see very little chance of any further development for many years to come.For many who crave an unsurpassable lifestyle, Somers Holiday Village offers an affordable opportunity to own your own piece of paradise with the added advantage of being one of the very few Villages offering you the vendor an opportunity to earn an income from your investment.

firelevy.vic.gov.au

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy.On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system.

Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value.

All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services.

GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year.

TOURISM operator Peninsula Hot Springs is backing NAIDOC Week by raising money for an Aboriginal school and encouraging visitors to “learn [about] and connect with indigenous culture”.

Included in the hot springs’ program are workshops, indigenous food cooking demonstrations and cafe options, indigenous spa product demonstrations, didgeridoo performances and an Aboriginal art exhibition.

An online auction will raise money for and awareness of Worawa Aboriginal College in Healesville, Victoria’s only registered Aboriginal school.

The school caters for up to 70 Aboriginal girls from years 7 to 10. The college has a central place in indigenous education. Situated on Aboriginal land at Healesville, it is governed and managed by Aboriginal people.

The annual National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) recognises the culture, history and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

“Peninsula Hot Springs provides a connection between nature and people. One of our core values is being at one with the land, an understanding that has always been close to indigenous people,” Peninsula Hot Springs marketing director and founder Charles Davidson said.

“Along with providing a stage for indigenous people and their achievements, we see NAIDOC Week as a celebration of our deep connection with and symbiosis with the land. It’s a time when visitors can learn and connect with indigenous culture.”

NAIDOC Week activities at the springs were developed in discussions with Bunurong elder Caroline Briggs.

“At Peninsula Hot Springs we promote respect for Bunurong people not only during NAIDOC Week, but also at every opportunity,” Mr Davidson said.

Peninsula Hot Springs is off Browns Rd, Fingal, near Rye.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 July 1913.ON Friday of last week, while Messrs Berwick and Lamb, butchers, of Morn-ington, were yarding their bullocks, a very wild one got away from the mob, and although several persons attempt-ed to check him in his mad career, he was master of the situation and defi ed all comers until he reached Mt. Mar-tha, when he plunged into the water and swam out seaward for about half a mile. After a couple more attempts to cross the briny, he was content to re-main under Balcomb’s bridge, scaring everyone that passed by. A lad named Thorne had the unpleasant experience of waiting up a tree for a consider-able time with the bullock gazing at him with glaring eyes from below. On Sunday the beast was landed safely in the slaughter yard, and the sentence of death pronounced on him.

***PROFESSOR Jenks, in a lecture at Cornell University, U.S.A., said that it had been demonstrated by investi-gations carried on for nine years that school boys and students who did not use cigarettes gained in physical de-velopment 25 per cent more than ciga-rette smokers. The habit, especially in early years, led to deleterious excesses in other directions.

***THE concert in aid of the Somerville recreation hall, given by the Frankston Choral Society last Saturday, was a pronounced success.

***MR Walter Jennings, musical direc-tor of the Frankston Choral Society, delighted the large audience at the

Somerville concert by singing “With all those endearing young charms.”

***THE Frankston Brass Band will enliv-en proceedings at the Frankston Park this afternoon, by playing selections during the football match.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a special cattle and horse sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer several good lines of springers, Jersey heifers, and mixed cattle, also draught horses, and sheep.

***AT Dog and Poultry Show at Mel-bourne Exhibition Building, on Wednesday, Mrs Pownall of Frankston, was awarded fi rst and second in two classes for her pug dog, “Milo.”

***ON Thursday last Mr “Roy” McKen-zie had the misfortune to be thrown while riding a horse at Tooradin. Though he received a severe shaking, he is now, we are pleased to state, pro-gressing satisfactorily.

***FRENCH and Irish Catholic organisa-tions have united with the Protestant Temperance Societies of Canada for an aggressive campaign, and for the fi rst time a united demonstration has taken place in Montreal.

***CR LLOYD, President of the Cran-bourne Shire, who retires by effl ux-ion of time in August next, has been requested by the Langwarrin Progress Association to offer himself for re-election, and he has acceded to the request. A requisition to Cr Lloyd ap-pears in our advertising columns.

***LATER returns for fruit shipped to

the London and Continental markets have been returning, Somerville grow-ers obtaining much better prices than were realised in the earlier shipments, thus in some measure compensating for the low prices returned earlier in the season.

***OWING to the serious illness of the head teacher, Mr G. Reed, of Somer-ville State School, the children have been given a holiday all this week. Paters and maters of families will welcome a resumption of school du-ties. We are pleased to learn that Mr Reed is making rapid strides toward recovery.

***AT the Grand National Steeplechase meeting at Flemington on Saturday last, the two mile steeplechase of £200 was won by Zephuron by four lengths. The winner carried 10st 5lb and started at 6 to 1 against. Various local sports collected good wins over Zephuron.

***THE Langwarrin Progress Associa-tion has resolved to ask the Railway Commissioners to extend the time for refreshments at the Frankston Station. It appears the time is too short to en-able passengers to partake of refresh-ments, so that the cups and saucers are taken into the carriages and lost. Last Easter out of 60 cups and saucers bought on the previous Saturday, only 16 remained on the following Wednes-day. It either means that the lesser must suffer loss or customers must be careful to put out their teaware at Mornington Junction or Carrum.

***MRS Isaac, an organiser from the People’s Party, accompanied by Mrs

Deane, secretary of the Women’s sec-tion of the Frankston Branch, formed a branch at Mount Eliza on the 8th inst. Mrs James Grice, of ‘Moondah,” was appointed president; Mrs Lee and Davey, hon. sec., pro. tem. Miss E Smith, treasurer. A number of mem-bers were enrolled, and a meeting of the mixed branches will be held on the fi rst Wednesday in September, at 8 o’clock p.m.; in the Mount Eliza school room. Particulars will be ad-vertised in a future issue.

***THE syllabus item at the Mornington Young Men’s Christian Association, on Tuesday evening last, at “Park-side,” was a debate on “Preference to Town or Country.” Mr Ray Bridges led the townies and Mr Phillips the country. The leaders spoke eight minutes and other members fi ve. The debate lasted about an hour, and was very instructive and interesting, some very good points being raised. At the conclusion, the judge (Mr Biori) de-clared the country party the winner. The item for next Tuesday night will be “Question Box.”

***A GENERAL meeting of the Frankston Choral Society was held at the Hall on Monday evening, Dr Maxwell presiding. After the minutes had been read and confi rmed, it was decided that the salary of the pianist be raised to £8 8s per year and £1 for each concert. It was also decided, on the motion of Mr Lloyd and Mrs Wil-cox, that no life governors be elected for the present. The hon. sec. (Mr Watson) spoke of the advisability of forming an orchestration connection with the society, and it was decided on the motion of Mr Ellis and Rev. G. A.

Kitchen, that an orchestra be formed. ***

AT the annual meeting of the Wom-en’s section of the Frankston branch of the P.L.P., held in the Mechanic’ Institution on Friday afternoon, 11th inst., Mrs Isaac, an organiser from the Central branch, presided, Mrs W. H. O’Grady, “Dulce Domun,” Frankston, was unanimously elected president. Mrs. T. D. Chandler and Mrs E. Overton, vice-presidents; Mrs Deane re-elected hon. secretary and treasurer. Mrs T. D. Chandler and Mrs Deans were appointed delegates to at-tend the annual conference to be held in Melbourne, during Show week. Mrs Deane was appointed to the State Electoral committee for the State elec-torate of Mornington.

***A MOST enjoyable evening was spent at the Frankston Hall on Thursday evening of last week, when, at the in-vitation of Mr Frederick Earp and his pupils, a large number of friends as-sembled. The programme consisted of songs by Mr Earp and his pupils, vio-lin solos by Mr Earp, and an overture by Miss Sherlock. Each item was well received, and the singing of Mr Earp’s pupils was very favourably comment-ed upon, while the items rendered by that gentleman himself left nothing to be desired. After the musical portion of the programme, a dainty supper was handed round, and was thoroughly en-joyed. Mr Utber, in a few well chosen words, thanked Mr Earp and his pupils for the pleasant evening’s entertain-ment, and Mr Earp also thanked his pupils, Miss Sherlock, Miss O’Grady, and those responsible for the supper. “God Save the King” terminated a most enjoyable evening.

F D& ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughLIFE is all about regret. Years race by and, before you know it, it’s too late. I am now forced to concede that some of my dreams will remain unrealised. Sadly, I will never know what it’s like to be nestled under the gilded wing of Johnny Young or how it feels to be a permanent cast member of the Young Talent Time team. It’s a pity too – I had plans to really shake things up. In fact, I dreamt of turning the team squarely on its head by making hitherto unim-aginable song choices. I’d worked it out down to the last detail. After John-ny introduced me for the fi rst time, I was going to slug mainstream Aus-tralia right between the eyes, not by squeezing out some schmaltzy power ballad while staring longingly down the barrel of camera two, but by per-forming all fourteen and half minutes of The Sugarhill Gang’s hip-hop mas-terpiece Rapper’s Delight.

It doesn’t stop there. The odds are now fi rmly against my ever opening the batting for Australia or playing centre half-forward for Carlton. That said, given the current form of both teams, odds that were once slim might well be gaining weight. I’m certain I’ll never have a top 10 single. Top 50, perhaps, but defi nitely not top 10. The chances of me discovering some kind of rare gift or talent are now, at best, remote.

But it’s one thing to admit that time has the advantage and that the unlim-ited possibilities youth brings are no longer available; it’s an entirely differ-ent matter to confess that you’ve sim-ply been too slow off the mark.

The truth is, I have not always acted when I should have. Delay is fi ne if you can come back to things later, but that is not always possible.

Sometimes opportunities come knock ing but once before they van-ish forever and all the wishing in the world won’t bring them back. I speak, of course, of Leisureland.

As a kid, you want to do everything. Chief among your aspirations are be-coming a permanent cast member of

the Young Talent Time team and open-ing the batting for Australia while simultaneously holding down the po-sition of centre half-forward for the Carlton Football Club.

Then there’s Disneyland. From an early age, we were led to believe that there was a magical kingdom where all our dreams would come true. That place was, of course, Chadstone shop-ping centre. But we were also told of another, equally alluring destination where all your dreams not involving buying a T-shirt for less than 10 bucks could be realised. But while Disney-land may well have been the happi-est place on earth, it was also on the other side of the planet. Your parents

are never going to wake up one Satur-day morning and decide, on a whim, to take the kids to visit Mickey.

Never did the tyranny of distance feel so insurmountable. But life is strange; the slightest twist of fate can change everything. So when news broke in 1984 that there would be an amusement park in nearby Langwar-rin, it was as though all my dreams – or at least those which did not involve me being able to fl y or shoot laser beams out of my eyes – had suddenly come true. Forget Walt Disney and his bunch of amateurish hacks, we had Leisureland.

I didn’t want to get too far ahead of myself – my parents had a pretty dire record when it came to visiting places that interested us. If we could convince them that the exercise was vaguely educational, we were in with a shot. Such entreaties had seen us travel as far as Sovereign Hill (even if my fa-ther insisted that we keep panning for gold until we made back the price of admittance). We then pushed our luck too far and went to Kryall Castle. (An excursion from which I am yet to fully recover and now simply refer to as “A Long Day’s Journey Into Knight”.) If we’d left it to our parents, we’d have been dragged from one antique shop to the next every weekend. Truth be told, adults who believe that it’s ap-propriate to take fi ve young children

shopping for antiques on a Sunday afternoon are already in a fantasyland and have no need to visit another in Langwarrin.

Despite best efforts, my father did not seem very keen to go to Leisure-land. Because they lacked their own fl ag or had failed to fi eld an Olympic team, he struggled to take them seri-ously. He preferred what he termed “the big hitters” like Wobbies’ World and Gumbuya Park. Now that I think about it, we never went to those places either. Worst of all, we would often pass right by the front gates of Lei-sureland as we set off to yet another antique shop. I could see its roller-coaster, log ride and the steam train that ran people from the car park up to the amusement park proper. So near and yet so far. Then it was too late. Leisureland closed in 1992, con-demned to become a housing estate.

We simply weren’t meant to be to-gether, Leisureland and I. Life is like that. It’s full of compromise and un-expected changes in direction. In fact, it’s like a rollercoaster which, in this instance, is ironic.

I never got to perform Rapper’s De-light by The Sugarhill Gang on YTT either but I do a stirring rendition in my car as anyone who’s pulled up next to me in traffi c will attest. And I’m quite okay with [email protected]

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

WHEN Ron Vincent’s dad heard a tape of him singing Cat Stevens songs, he thought he was listening to the man himself.

That was four years ago and set off a chain of events that would see Vincent performing his Cat Stevens show all over the country.

“I have always loved Cat Stevens and was drawn to his music, so decided to learn all his songs off by heart and play them at a gig to see how well it worked,” Vincent said. “That was a few years ago now and we haven’t looked back. When I play, what I really want is to give the audience the experience of what it’s like to be at a Cat Stevens concert. It’s like I am channelling Cat Stevens and just want people to enjoy the experience as much as I do.”

Ron Vincent in Concert Sings Cat Stevens has played to packed houses all over the peninsula and now brings a full fi ve-piece band concert to

Peninsula Community Theatre on Friday 26 July.The concert takes people down memory lane

to the peak years of Steven’s career. His folk-infl uenced, melodic tunes still hit a resonance with audiences today. Vincent’s jovial banter and heartfelt solo playing set the scene for the night’s intimate musical journey. A few tunes in to the show, the music adopts a rich sound with the addition of bass, drums, rhythm guitar and three-way harmonious backing vocals. As the show draws to a close, audiences call for encores and leave feeling that they have come to know Vincent through their shared appreciation of Steven’s music.

The concert is at Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilsons Road, Mornington, at 8pm on Friday 26 July. For tickets, call 5987 3078 or go to [email protected]

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyDEVON Meadows ended Crib Point’s fi nals chances on Saturday.

In a game the Magpies were expected to win to keep their faint fi nals hopes alive, they never looked like taking the points, going down by 41 points, 15.16-106 to 10.5-65.

The Pies are now two games and almost 30 per cent out of the top fi ve.

In the RPP broadcast match of the round this coming Saturday, we were expecting to see the fi fth spot showdown between Crib Point and Pearcedale. It was supposed to be the pick of the round in Nepean League.

After Crib Point’s loss, the clash promises nothing more than just another game of footy.

The Pies let themselves and their supporters down once again in a year where many expected them to be fi ghting it out for fourth or fi fth spot.

The Panthers were in awful form and lacked self-confi dence. The Magpies should have beaten them.

However, despite strong performances from Matty Sloper with four goals, Jacob Cook and David Cook as well as coach Dave Lawson, there wasn’t a lot of fi re in the bellies of the other Pies.

While the match said a lot about Crib Point’s season, it said as much about the potential of the Panthers.

At its confi dent, free-running, attacking best, Devon Meadows is a powerful side.

Give the Panthers’ forwards every

opportunity and they will make you pay.

On Saturday, Pat Chin was forever the opportunist, fi nishing with four goals, while man-mountain half-forward Ryan Talbot contributed three.

The most pleasing aspect for the Panthers was having eight players kick goals.

Andrew Oldmeadow was sensational across half-back, along with Alex Doria, who provided plenty of drive.

Teenager Kyle Salerno booted two goals and was better than good in all four quarters, while Aaron Bower and Gavin Kerr also played well.

Rosebud completed the expected against Red Hill, winning by more than 10 goals; but didn’t have things

all their own way early in the match.Red Hill has been pushing teams

during different stages of games this season and it was certainly again the case on the weekend.

However, despite having as many scoring shots as Rosebud in the fi rst half and trailing by just 10 points at the major break, the Hillmen were not able to sustain the pressure in the second hour.

Rosebud booted seven goals to one behind in the third quarter and two goals to one in the fi nal 25 minutes to win 15.17-107 to 5.6-36.

Again, the Buds were able to kick 100-plus points while strangling the opposition.

Brenton Payne was the major contributor with four goals in a clear

best-on-ground performance, while Ben Schultz made it 24 in four weeks with three goals.

Matty Payne, Greg Bentley and Ryan Spooner were at their best, and sometimes forgotten midfi elder Rhys Bancroft was dominant.

Underrated defender Sam Kremeich has had an outstanding season and his performance saw him in the best players once again.

Alex Lee played his best game for the Hillmen this season, and it was good to see a strong performance from Kane Hitchener, who has been hampered by injury this season.

Benny Macguiness would be in line for the Red Hill best and fairest after another solid display and Harry Larwill also played well.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyFRANKSTON YCW retained a psy-chological advantage over Karingal on Saturday when it came from behind to win a thriller by four points.

In the other remaining game of the split round, Mornington proved far too strong for Chelsea.

In Peninsula League, all eyes were on the massive contest between the Stone cats and the Bulls.

There is great respect but no love lost between the clubs and it was ob-vious on Saturday, the home side win-ning 12.9-91 to 11.11-77.

The lead changed many times du-ring the second half, but it looked doubt ful it would be a close contest at half-time.

The Stonecats, with three big inclu-

sions in Brad Ulms, Adrian McIntyre and Ash Eames, got away to a fl ier and led by three goals at the end of the fi rst quarter.

In the second quarter, the Stonecats were able to maintain the ascendancy and keep control of the scoreboard, lead ing by 18 points at the major inter-val.

Karingal, as expected, came storm-ing out in the third quarter, booting 5.4 to one goal to turn an 18-point defi cit into a 10-point lead at the three-quarter time siren.

The fi nal term was all that you expect between two powerhouse clubs.

The visitors still lead by as much as 10 points at the 12-minute mark of the fi nal quarter, before the Stonecats made their charge.

Young dynamo Lachy Wallace was the matchwinner, kicking the goal

that put the Stonecats in front with three minutes left on the clock. It was one of two Wallace goals, while Jack Mazurek fi nished with a team-high three goals.

Big guns Byron Barry, Tony Lester and Ben Tellis were cool as cucumbers in the tense fi nal quarter, and Ryley Hodson continues to impress.

Chris Hay fi nished with fi ve majors for the Bulls and Dale Alanis booted three. Robbie Clements and Grant Good all were superb for the Bulls, and defenders Aaron Paxton and Troy Hoad played well.

YCW coach Tony Barry was reliev-ed after the game.

“It was just nice to get through a game without any injuries, to be honest,” Barry said.

“We were getting a bit of a raw deal there for a while, so to come through

a big game unscathed was very pleas-ing.”

Barry said he was happy with the performance of the returning Ash Eames, who missed three months with a knee and leg injury.

“Our aim was to play the big fella for 50 per cent of the game. He played a little bit longer than that because we needed him out there in that very close last quarter,” Barry said.

“He pulled up very well after the game, which is the most pleasing as-pect.”

Barry once again spoke of the great admiration he has for Karingal.

“Karingal is very good side. The club had a number of important play-ers missing and was still very good. They are certainly starting to play some really good football at the right time,” he said.

Mornington took a little while to get going against Chelsea but when the whips were cracking, the Doggies regained their dominant spirit.

The margin was just 23 points at half-time, but the Doggies booted 19 goals to six in the second hour to win 25.14-164 to 8.9-57.

Mornington had 11 goalkickers, inclu ding one from the returned Chris Paxino, who has spent the fi rst part of the season overseas.

James Cameron fi nished with fi ve and Anthony Franchina four in near best-on-ground performances, while Daniel Moss and Chris Baker domi-nated.

It was another tough day at the offi ce for the Gulls, although Grant Trew and Fia Tootoo worked tirelessly.

We all look forward to a full round of football next Saturday.

SOCCERBy Craig MacKenzieTHE hardy souls who have followed the misfortunes of Baxter Soccer Club in 2013 fi nally found cause to smile after the home team won its fi rst points of the season on Saturday.

Baxter’s 3-1 win over fellow struggler White Star Dandenong wasn’t enough to lift coach Michael Steenbergen’s side off the bottom of the State 5 South ladder but it certainly lifted spirits at Baxter Park after a forgettable fi rst half of the season.

A 7th-minute goal to Brendan Norris justifi ed his elevation from the reserves and although White Star levelled two minutes later, Francis Beck put the home side back in front in the 40th minute when he fi nished off a move started by midfi elder David Popa, who had a fi ne game.

A Dom Meilem shot in the second stanza was parried by the White Star keeper, and Bill Liapis was on hand to tuck away the rebound and round off the scoreline.

“It’s a fantastic feeling and full credit to the boys. I think this could turn our season around,” Steenbergen said after the match.

How far the club’s newfound enthusiasm can carry it will be tested this weekend when it hosts table-topping Noble Park.

Langwarrin is back on top of the State 2 South-East ladder just fi ve games after the biggest hiding in its history, a 7-1 capitulation at home to Dandenong City.

It says much about the culture at Langy and how the club reacts to defeat, an attitude that can be directly attributed to long-serving head coach Gus Macleod.

His team’s ability to grind out results has so far underpinned its season and it was little different on Saturday when Langwarrin squared up to relegation-threatened Doveton at Lawton Park.

The Doves went ahead in the 23rd minute when Chris Jones, who had come out of retirement after injuries to fellow keepers Orwin Castel and Sean Skelly, was caught backpedalling following a corner swung in to the far post.

Jones couldn’t get a fi rm touch and the ball struck the bar before former Langy favourite Karl Cochrane fl icked home the rebound.

Another ex-Langy star, Simon Mur, put the Doves further ahead after 35 minutes with a near post header following a superb cross from Farai Murwira.

A looping header from Brendan Sakaci on the stroke of half-time gave the home side a lifeline and 10 minutes into the second half, a cross from the left by Langy captain Caleb Nicholes was headed toward the far post by Koray Suat, enabling Liam Ryan to tap in from close range.

Langy fi nally hit the front fi ve minutes later when Nicholes robbed Cochrane, dummied to shoot on his left before checking back inside on his right and slotting the ball home with Doveton keeper Mark Jorgensen stranded.

A Chris McKenna back post header following a corner in the 66th minute looked to have settled the issue until Doveton substitute Craig Johnson pounced on a rebound following a low shot from outside the area in the 81st minute to make it 4-3.

Four minutes later, Langy defender Alex van Heerwarden was forced into a headed clearance on his own goal line and the result was fi nally sealed in the 88th minute.

Langy substitute Ben Caffrey did what only he can do, somehow wriggling clear of two opponents before cutting the ball back to the edge of the area for Ryan to unleash

an unstoppable drive.Frankston Pines continued its

recent Jekyll and Hyde form with a 4-0 away win over Springvale City at Ross Reserve on Saturday.

A Michael Hoogendyk penalty and a cracking left-foot drive from Aiden Verdun gave Pines a 2-0 half-time lead before a curled Hoogendyk strike and a Mario Rivera header following a Luke Atsiaris cross in the second period gave the visitors their best win of the season.

Last week Pines strengthened the fi rst team squad with the signing of Ed Southerington and Kristian Hopewood from Latrobe Uni.

Peninsula Strikers continued to defy the critics with a superb second-half comeback away from home to share the spoils with Old Scotch in their State 3 South-East clash on Saturday.

Strikers had a mountain to climb at the interval, being two goals down, but coach Dave Reid made certain his charges knew their season was on the line.

They responded in style in the second half with a 25-metre thunderbolt from 17-year-old Nick Lekakis and a close-range effort from Onur Tufan.

“If you’d have asked me before the game would I take a 2-2 draw, I would have said yes,” Reid said.

“But in all honesty we should have got all three points. We hit the post, hit the bar, had a goal disallowed and, in the last 15 minutes, missed two one-on-ones with their keeper.”

Seaford United lost top spot in State

4 South after twice leading only to go down 5-3 away from home against Middle Park.

Li Nam Wang and Daniel Hodge scored Seaford’s goals in the fi rst half and the sides went into the interval locked at 2-2.

Paul Deeley put Seaford back in front after the break, tucking away the rebound following a Darren Roberts free kick but Middle Park hit back to make it 3-3.

Enter Miles Tidd for his fi rst game of the season after injuring his knee in a pre-season tournament. The veteran striker scored twice in fi ve minutes to seal Seaford’s fate.

Skye United went 2-0 down after 15 minutes against visitor Sandringham in their State 4 South contest at Skye Recreational Reserve on Saturday and never recovered.

A superbly taken goal from Chris McCaffrey opened the scoring and Sean Lally completed the scoreline from the penalty spot. The win puts Sandringham back in pole position in the championship race.Fixtures for round 14:Saturday 20 July, 3pm:Frankston Pines v Doncaster Rovers (Monterey Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Springvale City (Centenary Park), Keysborough v Skye Utd (Coomoora Reserve), Endeavour Utd v Seaford Utd (Reema Reserve), Baxter v Noble Park (Baxter Park).Monday 22 July, 8.30pm:Kingston City v Langwarrin (Grange Reserve).
