Go ahead for sports centreGo ahead for sports centreBy Mike HastTHE tender for the $8.4 million rede-velopment of David Collings Leisure Centre in Mornington is expected to be approved on Monday night.

Work will start this month to double the size of the centre, named after the late David Collings, former CEO of

Mornington Shire and later a council-lor and mayor of Mornington Penin-sula Shire who died in 2008.

The work, expected to be completed by December, is part of the master plan for Civic Reserve adopted in 2008.

Money for the work comes from the sale of Mornington Tennis Club’s land

in Main St to The Bays Hospital for $4.62 million in February and the sale of Mornington Youth Club’s centre in Wilsons Rd.

About $5.4 million will come from the shire’s sale of its two properties with the balance from the shire’s capi-tal works and recreational land fund.

The tennis club land sale earlier this year raised eyebrows among the town’s estate agents, several of whom said the 7790-square metre block was worth at least $1000 a square metre.

The sale price equated to about $590 a square metre for land that is in the pro-cess of being rezoned to business land.

Users of the expanded centre will include Mornington Youth Club Gym-nastic, which will move from its cen-tre in Wilsons Rd, once the home of Peninsula Post and later the Hickory women’s garment factory established by the late Bernard Dowd.

By Mike HastTHE Archibald Prize fi nalists exhi bi-tion at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery generated at least $1.4 million of economic activity, says gallery di-rector Jane Alexander.

And she said when more informa-tion became available, the fi gure could turn out to be even higher. About 70 per cent of visitors to the Mornington 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, in-cluding shop and cafe operations”.

“Much of this income was invested in the project and community includ-ing 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. Fifteen were senior students from Mornington Peninsula 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 Morning-ton Peninsula and Frankston (14,400).

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

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

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

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.”

By Chris BrennanFAMILIES struggling to make ends meet in the Mornington area will soon be able to access free fresh food through the highly acclaimed Second-Bite program.

Mornington Community Informa-tion and Support Centre will begin providing free food supplies to anyone needing them from 1 August at St Mark’s Uniting Church.

The fresh food will be provided by SecondBite, a not-for-profi t organisa-tion that accesses a variety of sources of surplus fresh food and produce that would otherwise go to waste and ar-ranges safe and timely distribution to agencies and people in need.

Any member of the public want-ing to access the service can go to St Mark’s every Thursday with their own bag or box and they will be provided with fresh food.

Community agencies wanting to collect supplies on behalf of clients can also be catered for, but they need to register with SecondBite via its website.

Mornington Community Informa-tion and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott said the program would operate as a collaborative effort between local community agencies and that volun-teers were also invited to assist with the various aspects of the fresh food distribution project.

“This is an exciting project that brings a holistic approach to com-munity support,” Ms Elliott said.

“Everyone’s a winner because it takes food that would otherwise go to waste and end up as landfi ll and redirects to areas of need in the community.

“For those struggling with high rent and utility bills, the budget doesn’t always stretch far enough, so we hope giving them access to free produce will allow people to eat healthier as well as help fi nancially.”

She said it was hoped the program would be expanded in the near future to also provide cooking classes and nutritional information, as well as helping people grow their own fresh food in home herb and vegetable gardens, and build community aware-ness of environmental and sustainable living issues.

“Each year, Australians waste more than $5 billion worth of food – more than $1.1 billion of this is fruit and vegetables,” Ms Elliott said. “At the same time, 1.2 million Australians are considered food insecure – defi ned as not having access to affordable, safe and nutritious food.”

Mornington Community Informa-tion and Support Centre operates as an emergency relief centre, providing material aid and fi nancial counselling services from its headquarters at 320 Main St, Mornington.

The fresh food distribution program starts 1 August and will operate each Thursday from 11.30am at St Mark’s Uniting Church, corner Barkly St and Waterloo Place, Mornington. For details, call 5975 1644.

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 Bal-narring Beach late last month.

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

At 9pm on Saturday 29 June, the heavenly weather conditions com-bined 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 ac-tivity 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 ejec-tions,” 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,

HASTINGS-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 opportunities,” the email said.

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.”

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 hydro-gen, oxygen and nitrogen.

“Because an element tends to return to its bal-anced 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 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.

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.

We are at the start of the Mornington Peninsula and just 10 minutes from Frankston on Moorooduc Highway, on the way to the Mornington

Peninsula beaches. Take the Mornington Tyabb Road exit from Peninsula Link, turn right, and then left at Morroduc Hwy.

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 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?

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

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 renewa-ble energy and the need to reduce reliance on conventional coal-powered power stations.

Professor Flannery will be joined by Cli-mate 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 Morn-ington.

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

Information scheduled to be presented in-cludes the fi ndings of Climate Commission’s Critical Decade and Renewable Energy re-ports.

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

Its key tasks include providing the Austral-ian public with information on the science behind climate change, international actions being taken to reduce greenhouse gas emis-

sions, and the economics of a carbon price.The commission’s fi rst report, The Criti-

cal 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 criti-cal 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 re-newable 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 Pen-insula Shire says it has has operated under a policy to work toward environmentally, eco-nomically and socially sustainable outcomes in all of its activities and the free Climate Commission event forms part of this com-mittment.

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

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

To book, call 5987 3078.

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.

NEWS DESK

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 last month (“Stay silent on rubbish tip, shire warns council-lors”, 2/7/13), a shire document, Pro-posed Landfi ll Boundary Road Drom-ana, ad vised councillors 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 words 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?

VLGA says no gag VLGA says no gag on councillorson councillors

“[Councillors] have a community representative role

forthcoming issues.”– VLGA

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.

She was inspired to start the organisation after family friends Cheryl and Rodney Cope moved there

to help poverty stricken Cambodians and her mother built an orphanage.

This year, eight nurses, a doctor and two helpers fl y out on 3 August and are hoping to take along a collection of old reading, prescription or magnifi cation glasses.

Donations can be arranged by calling 0415 242 951 or emailing: [email protected] or [email protected].

While the group is specifi cally collecting glasses, it will also accept shoes, clothes and toiletries.

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.

Crazed bull terrorises town, US study finds effects of smoking on youthCrazed bull terrorises town, US study finds effects of smoking on youth


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]

Leisureland, you broke my heartLeisureland, you broke my heart


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]

Hot shots By Haydn Godony

Two bands batt led it out in the fi rst heat of this year’s batt le of the bands at Baha in Rye. Five piece jazzy outf it Spunk Machine impressed with scatt y songs and slaps of syncopati on. The Rift followed with a melodic guitar-based set which presented plenty of wailing and wah-wah. Another three weeks of heats will lead to the fi nal.

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).

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-quar-ter time siren.

The fi nal term was all that you ex-pect 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 Ma-zurek 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 hon-est,” 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.

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.

BASEBALLSENIORSA1 Mornington vs Pakenham

PAKENHAM defeated Mornington 12-4 in round 12.

A poor defensive game meant the Pirates were chasing all day and couldn’t catch the Pumas.

The below par game means the Pirates will have to work very hard and win a majority of their remaining games to keep any fi nals hopes alive.

A2 Mornington vs PakenhamRyan Campbell pitched the whole game for

the Pirates troubling many hitters on his way to the win.

Matt Dunn and Joel Schultz dominated with the bat and led the Pirates offence to a third win for the season.

JUNIORSUnder-15 Mornington Gold vs Cheltenham

It was a tough day on the park. The team was one player short and lost comprehensively to Cheltenham.

The boys swung the bat well and managed to get on base and score 6 runs, but failed to dominate on the pitching mound and battled while fi elding.

Highlights included Coles and Paterson driving in 5 runs between them. Hafey-Bagg was good behind the plate and Colvin played well in the fi eld.
