GROTH KEEN ON TOP LIBERALS JOB

■ Nepean MLA Sam Groth has been reported as saying that he would be keen to take on the job as Leader of the Victorian Liberal Party in State Parliament.

The Labor Party took the unusual step of reporting the development at the taxpapyerfunded website of Premier Jacinta Allan.

“While we’re focused on delivering what matters for the people of Victoria, the Liberal Party is once again focused on themselves and their ongoing leadership struggle,” said the statement of Ms Allan’s website.

“Liberal Party Member for Nepean, Sam Groth has sensationally challenged John Pesutto’s leadership, telling the Herald Sun that he wants to be Premier.

“In the same interview, Sam Groth says he won’t destabilise the party, while openly declaring war on John Pesutto’s leadership while the Leader of the Opposition is overseas and can’t return serve.”

The Government media statement referred to Mr Grioth’s “stunning treachery”.

■ Two teenagers have been arrested after an allegedly stolen car was driven recklessly while being followed by the Air

Melbourne’s north to the southern suburbs.

The white Mercedes was allegedly stolen in an burglary in Black Rock on Wednesday (July 10).

The vehicle was sighted by the Air Wing in Templestowe about 12 Noon on Friday (July 12).

The Mercedes was seen to be driving at excessive speeds, weaving in and out of traffic as it made its way through numerous suburbs.

It reached speeds up to 200-kmh on Eastlink before stop sticks were successfully deployed at Seaford Rd in Seaford and two occupants were subsequently arrested.

A 17-year-old Mornington boy and 17year-old Black Rock girl, who appeared substance affected, have since been taken to hospital under police guard for observation. Investigations into the incident remain ongoing.

Anyone who witnessed the vehicle, has CCTV, dashcam footage or any other information that can assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

✖Frankston Mayor Cr Nathan Conroy has spoken out about the tragic death of a man at Frankston Pier: “This week, I stand with the Frankston City community and many others in feeling shocked and deeply saddened by the death of Cranbourne North local Mr Andres Pancha. I offer my heartfelt condolences to Andres’ family and friends as they are faced with the profound grief of this distressing situation. Andres was doing something he and many others love – fishing off Frankston Pier. Unfortunately, an unprovoked and random incident has taken Andres away from his beautiful children and loving wife. I have received a number of phone calls over the weekend from concerned residents, worried about the safety of their local community. This is not the Frankston City that I, and many others, know and love. This is not the sentiment that I want people to think of when they think of Frankston City. Like many communities across Victoria, incidents of crime are a serious concern. I want to assure everyone that we will continue to work with the State Government and Victoria Police to ensure we continue to live in a vibrant and welcoming community. We are a well-knit, proud and compassionate community that are here for each other regardless of the circumstances. I have found it heartwarming to see our community showing their support and compassion for this family and everyone impacted by this tragedy. I know this support will continue in the days and weeks ahead,” Cr Conroy said.

● ● Cr Lana Formoso, D’nong Mayor

✔The Local Government Housing In novation Program – a joint Municipal Association of Victoria and Greater Dandenong City Council project – has received $500,000 in a grant announcement from the Commonwealth Housing Support Program. MAV President Cr David Clark said the program was the continuation of the MAV working alongside councils to find local solutions to address the housing crisis. “Knowing the importance of local government leadership to address housing needs, the local government sector has taken a leadership role, working as a constructive partner with the Federal Government,” Cr Clark said. Mayor of Greater Dandenong City Council, Cr Lana Formoso said this project would benefit both their local community and the broader Victorian local government sector. “Local Government works hard to deliver planning outcomes for communities, but Councils are sometimes constrained by resources and that we’re all working within our own boundaries. This program sees Greater Dandenong leading a series of initiatives to benefit all Victorian councils in their efforts to accelerate housing supply.”

SPIKE IN LIVES LOST PROMPTS WARNING

■ Victoria Police is issuing an urgent road safety warning to all motorists following a horror period on Victorian roads.

Eight lives were lost in the four daysbetween Monday-Thgursday (July 8-11) last week. This meant the total lives lost were154, surpassing last year’s total of 152 at the same time last year. There have been other fatalities since then.

Afatal collision occurred just before 12 Noon Thursday (July 11) in Nathalia in the state’s north, with two lives lost in a two-vehicle collision.

Four lives were lost in separate, single-ve-

by Ex-historic Monument restorer (France) Fascia and Guttering Carpentry, Carport Decking, Painting and Home Improvements

hicle collisions last Wednesday (July 10) in Bannockburn, Truganina, Allan’s Flat and Delahey.

Earlier last week, two drivers were both killed in a head on collision in Moriac on Monday evening.

The eight deaths means there were 14 lives lost in the first 11 days of July.

It marks the worst start to July since 2008, when 14 lives were lost in the first 11 days of that month.

While factors in these recent collisions are still under investigation, police are urging everyone to take extra care on the roads.

Motorists should consider slowing down and maintaining a safe braking distance, especially during periods of wet weather when roads are often slippery.

Poor visibility due to reduced daylight hours during winter can make it more difficult to see and be seen, so pay extra attention to your surroundings and avoid distractions, like mobile phones, while driving.

Avoid driving fatigued by taking regular breaks when travelling longer distances, and never get behind the wheel if you’re impaired by alcohol or drugs.

Police are determined to drive down the rising road trauma.

Talk is cheap, gossip is priceless

‘BOY FROM OZ’ AT THE NATIONAL

When The Light Breaks

■ When the Light Breaks recounts a tragedy unfolding on a single day in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Director Runar Rúnarsson steers a bleak, dark melodrama that emerges despite the stunning light of the midnight sun.

Young lovers, art students Una (Elin Hall), and Diddi (Baldur Einarsson), in the throes of a passionate fledgling romance, make future plans.

Diddi, flying home to his parents that morning, vows to break up with his current girlfriend, Klara (Katla Njalsdottir)

Una, having stayed the night with Diddi and late for class, grabs a pair of Diddi’s shoes and hurries out.

Diddi doesn’t make it home.

Shots of a tunnel explosion and the inferno that follows hint at many casualties, Diddi among them.

Flags flown at half-mast underscore a national tragedy.

A distraught Gunni (Mikael Kaaber), Diddi’s flatmate, begs Una not to reveal her true relationship with Diddi to save Klara’s feelings.

All this occurs in the film’s setup.

What follows is an intense, fragile narrative, where we watch Una nursing her grief in secret and spending the day in torment.

Rúnarsson reveals Una’s sense of mixed emotions with flashes of jealousy and envy as Klara is allowed to bear her grief in public.

Hall’s depiction of restrained emotion with bubbling anger just under the surface is palpable.

Later, after vodka shots, the teenagers let their pent-up feelings out with wild dancing to Diddi’s favourite headbanging music.

This proves cathartic, lifting the tension, and a bond forms between the two young women.

Back at Diddi and Gunni’s flat, Klara presents Una with the boots she forgot earlier.

We are left wondering if Klara knew Diddi’s secret all along.

When the Light Breaks was screened as part of the Scandinavian Film Festival.

scandinavianfilmfestival.com - Review by Kathryn Keeble

■ From the moment Matthew Hadgraft steps on the stage in the musical, The Boy from Oz at the National Theatre in St Kilda, it’s obvious that he has that rare pizzazz needed to portray the remarkable talent of much-loved Peter Allen Hadgraft pours his heart and soul into this show. His warmth, emotion and high-energy depiction engages the audience to steer us through the highs, lows and heartbreaks of Peter Allen’s life and career.

He is a superb dancer whose stage movements are coupled with his striking talents as an actor, singer and piano player. We are privileged to experience his depth of insight into the character.

Executive Producer of production company Theatrical, Andrew Gyopar, has assembled a large team of Australian theatre professionals. This highly talented cast, including many locals, are fortunate to work under direction and choreography of the distinguished Rhylee Nowell and musical director Alexandra Byrne. The phases, times and moods of Allen’s story are vividly enhanced through creative team Karen Spencer and Abbey Stanway’s many costume and set changes. The jubilant diversity of the ensemble and dance troupe add extra elements to delight the audience. The company is backed by a marvellous onstage 11-piece orchestra.

The close childhood relationship to his mother, Marion, is evoked through Reuben Koronczyk’s impressive song and dance appearances of Peter as a boy. Maureen Andrew plays the eternally encouraging Marion with tenderness and humour.

It is a joy to see this production and to hear Allen’s songs in this dazzling musical biography on the Melbourne stage. His legacy lives on through the songbook – Tenterfield Saddler, I Honestly Love You, Not the Boy Next Door, I Still Call Australia Home and many more which are of particular relevance to Australia.

Venue: National Theatre, 20 Carlisle St. St Kilda

The Long Game

■ Power is a word that comes to mind when reviewing The Long Game

It is powerful actors playing powerful characters who show their vulnerabilities in a way that is very relatable.

Sally Faraday has written a play with levels. Family dynamics, secrets, political ‘games’, addiction there is a lot packed into an eighty minute show.

Director Krystalla Pearce has put together a cast of three talented women.

She uses the space well, including breaking through the ‘fourth wall’ to give a sense of what is beyond. ‘

However there are some inconsistencies such as silent one-sided phone conversations, then later the voice on the other end being heard.

A dramatic choice, perhaps worked in that scene yet did not work for the play as a whole.

There was some poor mime, of what purpose it served unclear, along with some long scene changes.

For opening night the pace began slowly, hopefully this will pick up overtime, as the timing improved as the play went on.

The Long Game set out to ‘dive into some tricky subject matter’ - this it does.

Using familiar stories of women in politics to highlight the underground means that can be used to rise to the top.

It is interesting to note the response of different generations or experiences.

It displays very well the impact childhood trauma can have also touching on false memory, along with the impact one's trauma can have on others.

This show creates conversation, which is what good theatre can do.

There are some laughs, plus a terrific monologue played cleverly by Charmaine Gorman (Miranda) for which the audience applauded.

Whilst I would not say this show is a must-see it is definitely worth a look if you are wanting to see interesting local theatre that leaves you wanting to know more.

Nature

Obituary

■ The Deep See Survey Artist Collective invites audiences to Victoria's Mornington Peninsula to participate in their latest public performance work: Nature Obituary, on Saturday, August 3 at Shoreham Beach , Beach Rd, Shoreham

Running from mid-tide to low-tide on Shoreham Beach , this singular event spans 200m of beach and has been imagined with a view to bring people together at a time when, for many, cohesion feels at an all-time ebb.

Created by artist Janenne Willis, Nature Obituary is a gentle invitation to write and listen to obituaries for Mother Earth

The event will present 10 antique writer's desks on the sand, lining the shoreline. Each desk facing the sea with charcoal pencils and recycled paper atop, audience members will be invited to seat themselves and pen an obituary via one of two ways - to free write, or to respond to creative writing prompts.

Written about any part of nature they feel drawn to, once finished each obituary will be placed under a paperweight for others to read.

Throughout the afternoon select pieces will also be shared aloud by live performance readers Tariro Mavondo, Felicity Mashuro and Janenne Willis

"Nature Obituary is an opportunity to collectively honour the natural world," explains artist Janenne Willis

"To collectively record natural history and to collectively grieve our environment lost. I'm deeply curious about what will come through when humans sit together in nature and write and listen about what is lost.

“There are healing and hopeful possibilities in that. It's about reanimating nature as a means of enabling connection, relationship, and care."

An ambitious performance piece delving into themes of eco-spirituality and eco-psychology, Nature Obituary acts as a pathway to honour and grieve loss in a time of profound climate crisis.

Attendees are encouraged to involve themselves in the experience in any way they feel comfortable. The show will continually unfold over its duration, offering the opportunity for people to arrive anytime and stay for as little or as long as they desire.

Nature Obituary has been designed to bring people together to participate in an intimate and original gesture, offering an afternoon of connection to each other, to the earth, and an honouring of place.

Deep See Survey are artists Janenne Willis, Bri Horne, Curtis Hill and Leyla Bulmer. They are a collective and they make art on Bunurong and Boonwurrung Country, in what is now known as Shoreham

Their inaugural season in 2024 is made up of four live shows, four live workshops, and four poetry circles.

■ There isn’t a human being alive who hasn’t had cause to hide a secret at some point in their lives.

That’s a starting point for author Barbara Hannay’s latest novel The Wife’s Secret, with the underlying theme that everyone deserves a second chance.

Once-married couple Lisa and Rolf found they had two different dreams. Since their bitter divorce, they have forged new and separate lives.

Rolf has moved out of Beacon Bay, while Lisa has remained in the tiny tropical town, a pillar of her community.

When a cyclone brings a massive tree smashing into Lisa’s roof – into the home Rolf built and where they raised their family - their son, Dave, convinces Rolf that he must do the repairs.

Tensions abound when Rolf arrives with glamorous stage star Renata, along with a pretty young publicist who stirs up complications for Dave and his new restaurant.

Their combined efforts to rebuild the community see them confronting old wounds of their own.

Will Lisa be brave enough to risk her heart again, especially if that means revealing the one guilty memory that has haunted her for decades?

Only reading the Wife’s Secret will answer that question.

Set on the picturesque coastline of Queensland’s tropical north, this is an uplifting story about resurrecting hope and unearthing love and second chances, even through the most turbulent of times.

Living in Townsville with her writer husband, Hannay enjoys being close to the Coral Sea and tropical scenery, providing wonderful settings for her novels.

The Wife’s Secret is published by Penguin Random House and available online and in bookstores.

Ash on Wednesday Peninsula service expands

■ The State Government says that it is ensuring people in Melbourne’s southeast can access the coordinated family violence and child wellbeing services they need, with a newly opened Orange Door Access Point in Bentleigh Vicki Ward, Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, visited the Nepean Hwyy Bentleigh service, which began operating in June as part of the Orange Door Bayside Peninsula Network.

The Orange Door network brings together specialist family violence, child and family and Aboriginal services to provide crisis assistance and support, risk and needs assessment, safety planning and connection to other services.

Orange Door locations provide coordinated help and support for people experiencing family violence, and for families needing support for the wellbeing and development of children.

The Orange Door Bayside Peninsula began operations at its primary site in Frankston in May 2018, servicing the local council areas of Port Phillip, Stonnington, Bayside, Glen Eira, Kingston, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula. Its partner agencies include The Salvation Army, Anglicare Victoria, Family Life, Good Shepherd, OzChild, Peninsula Health, Uniting Vic. Tas and the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency.

Area, meaning there are now more ways for people to access family violence help and support.

The Bentleigh Access Point is hosted by Salvation Army and includes a reception area, private meeting room, public areas and secure staff working areas.

Access Points make it easier for people to access support from the Orange Door Network in their local area.

People can seek help face to face at the Frankston primary site, Bentleigh or Hastings Access Points and visit those locations for outreach services to clients in these areas.

Since opening, the Orange Door Bayside Peninsula has supported more than 80,000 people, including 29,000 children.

Ms Ward said: “We continue to work to end family violence and support anyone experiencing it, as well as keeping those who choose to use violence firmly in view through our nationleading investment.”

“The Orange Door safety hub provides more people in Melbourne’s growing south-east corridor with easy access to the support they need.”

Nick Staikos, Bentleigh MLA, said:

“I am pleased we are supporting the people of Bentleigh with this new service.”

Tim Richardson, Parliamentary Secretary for Men’s Behaviour Change, said: “It is great to see this further source of support for people impacted by family violence in the Bentleigh area.”

MAXIM VENGEROV Magazine Magazine

■ Castiglione and Greg Hocking present Grammy Award winner Maxim Vengerov live in concert in Melbourne on August 7 in Arts Centre Melbourne's Hamer Hall as part of an Australian tour to celebrate Vengerov's 50th birthday.

Universally hailed as one of the world’s finest musicians, and often referred to as the greatest living string player in the world today, Soviet-Israeli violinist and violist Maxim Vengerov will be joined by one of Europe’s most iconic pianists Polina Osetinskaya.

Vengerov recently completed triumphant, sell-out concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall. His last tour of Australia in 2015 was a highly lauded, sold out success.

The superstar string player’s 50th birthday program celebrates 42 years of public appearances with a program that will include demanding and exciting works by Ravel, Franck and Prokofiev as well as virtuosic encores.

Castiglione Arts and Culture is also announcing an exclusive masterclass with the world-leading violinist in Melbourne on August 8, presented in partnership with Melbourne Youth Orchestras. Tickets to all masterclasses are extremely limited, and are expected to sell out fast.

Vengerov and Osetinskaya have performed together extensively, including at Carnegie Hall. In the season 2023-2024 Polina Osetinskaya makes a number of her solo debuts at the Berlin Philharmonic, in London and in Laeiszhalle in Bach's concerts without a conductor.

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Polina has repeatedly expressed her pacifist position. In this regard, her concerts in Russia were cancelled by the government. She has since toured the world extensively including to both North and South America.

X■ (R). 105 minutes. Now available on DVD and selected digital platforms.

After a long, six year break, talented director Ti West returned to the big screen with X, a graphic, giddy love letter to not only the horror genre, but also the process of low budget film-making.

With the final entry, MaXXXine, now in cinemas, now is best time to see the first two films.

Set in 1979, the story centres around an enthusiastic film crew, who travel to rural Texas to make an adult movie.

Deciding on an isolated farm with cabin quarters, and run by an elderly, taciturn couple, the group get down to business, but as the shoot continues, they will soon realise that their hosts aren’t as docile as first thought.

West has built his body of work (which includes The Roost, The House Of The Devil and The Innkeepers) by largely setting his films during a time when there were no mobile phones or other forms of cutting edge technology, and this lack of modern tech has been a refreshing touch.

Horror buffs will love spotting all the references (the setting itself is a terrific combination of films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho and Eaten Alive), while enjoying West’s expert shifting between comedy and atmospheric horror (nicely amplified by excellent cinematography, music and grisly practical effects).

The cast acquit themselves perfectly, with yet another attention grabbing turn by Mia Goth (Suspiria, Infinity Pool)

There are interesting undercurrents to the growing carnage, with West examining sex and violence in horror films, the uncomfortable mirror that can arise between the young and the elderly, and how the female image is perceived by men.

The squeamish should definitely avoid X, but those who have been longtime fans of the horror genre, will love what West has crafted and delivered, and should love the terrific prequel Pearl (****½) (again starring Goth, who gave an Oscar worthy performance as the title character).

RATING - ****

Project Wolf Hunting

■ (R). 121 minutes. Now available on DVD and selected digital platforms.

A warning from the very start; if you are of a sensitive nature, or not strong of stomach, then it would be wise to avoid this new South Korean horror/action/thriller.

Containing the kind of violence and gore not seen since the earlier days of film-maker Peter Jackson (Bad Taste, Braindead), this hyperkinetic movie delivers the goods in such enthusiastic fashion, its makers forget to adhere to a more appropriate run time. The set-up involves a 2016 deal being struck between the governments of South Korea and the Philippines, where the former can now extradite 47 hardened criminals who fled their home turf after committing horrific crimes. After an initial attempt to carry out the extraditions goes seriously awry, a new mission is put forth in 2022, where the perpetrators will be instead transported on a huge cargo ship (named Frontier Titan), supervised by over 20 experienced police detectives, headed by Captain Lee (Park Hosan), who can turn to acts of brutality as quickly as his captives.

A tough but more level-headed cop is Da-yeon (Jung So-min), who notices that the ship’s doctor has been replaced at the last minute. A special operations squad, led by Captain Oh (Sung Dong-il) also arrive at the surveillance centre without notice. It’s not long after the Frontier Titan has left Manila port that an escape plan, organised by twisted killer Jong-du (Seo Inguk), is put in motion, and the officers are soon on the back foot (or dead). Other offenders of note who join the uprising include Do-il (Jang Dong-yoon), Gun-bae (Ko ChangSeok) and Myung-ju (Jang Youngnam). As the body count increases, another presence suddenly appears, one that doesn’t care whether their opponent is a cop or crim.

Project Wolf Hunting lays its foundation with precise efficiency, moving to the early scenes of prison break chaos at a breakneck pace. Fans of Con Air will recognise this first section, but when the plot turn comes, the film veers into extreme action and horror, and this is where the already graphic gore is taken to a whole new level.

Writer/director Kim Hong-sun has been handed such a talented effects crew, that he wants to create and carry out as much carnage as possible, and as such, particularly during its midsection, it starts to become a little repetitious.

Kim, whose previous films include Traffickers (2012), The Chase (2017) and etamorphosis (2019), once again doesn’t quite make the most of a great premise, but like his occasionally gruesome Traffickers, hits the bullseye enough to keep audiences happy. Project Wolf Hunting has certainly been crafted for a specific audience, and despite its indulgent overlength, who will most likely want the inevitable follow-up. Just be prepared.

■ Samuel Klausman Lawrence Parks was born in Kansas on December 13, 1914.

He was of German and Irish descent and grew up in Joliet, Illinois

Larry was not a healthy child and suffered from several illnesses including rheumatic fever. He attended University and majored in science. Larry had intended to be a doctor but was bitten by ‘the acting bug’ after performing in stage plays.

He worked as an usher in New York at Carnegie Hall before landing a small acting role in the Broadway play Golden Boy

Larry Parks was signed to a film contract with Columbia Studios and made his debut in the B-grade adventure Mystery Ship in 1941.

He married actress Betty Garrett who he met at The Actors Studio in 1944; Lloyd Bridges was best man at the wedding.

It was a very happy marriage and the couple had two sons.

Larry continued to play supporting roles in small budget films such as Three Girls About Town, Blondie Goes to College, The Deerslayer and The Racket Man

His big break came in 1946 when he was cast as Al Jolson in The Jolson Story

This was the role of a lifetime, miming the recordings of Jolson's songs and portraying one of the greatest American singers of the 20th Century.

Whatever Happened To ... Larry Parks

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM

Al Jolson wanted to play himself but the studio executives thought he was too old to play the role. I had the great opportunity to interview Evelyn Keyes who co-starred with Larry in the film. Evelyn told me that Larry sang as loud as he could against the Jolson recordings during the filming.

The Jolson Story turned out to be a box office smash and Larry became a major film star. He reprised the role in Jolson Sings Again in 1949.

Larry was interviewed during the hearing of the Un-American Activities Committee into infiltration into the film industry.

He admitted that as a youth he had joined the Communist Party but at that time did not see

● Larry Parks that he had done anything wrong. He was ‘blacklisted’ as a result of his testimony and his film career was ruined.

Larry only made a few films in the 1950s and guest starred in television shows such as The Untouchables and Dr Kildare

Larry Parks began asuccessful career on the stage.

Betty and Larry starred in variety shows in Las Vegas, Canada and Europe. Johnny Lockwood was a comedy support act with them at the Empire Theatre Finsbury Park, London

They also performed together in plays such as Any Wednesday, Plaza Suite and Cactus Flower. In later life Larry got involved in building apartment complexes. His final film was Freud in 1962.

Larry Parks died of a heart attack at his home in Studio City, California in 1975 at the age of 60.

Danny Thomas helped Betty get back into show business with guest roles in television shows such as All In The Family and Laverne and Shirley. Betty Garrett passed away in 2011 at the age of 91.

If you are a Jolson fan you might enjoy attending the next Jolson Society meeting at 7.15 pm, Tuesday July 30 at the Bargoonga Nganjin, North Fitzroy Library, 182-186 St Georges Rd, Fitzroy North (enter via Best St).

Redevelopment of Theatre Works

■ Theatre Works has announced the appointment of The Turn Group as the official builder for their highly anticipated redevelopment project.

Building is set to commence in the first week of August, marking a significant milestone in the journey to update and enhance their historic home in St Kilda.

For over 40 years, Theatre Works has presented and created ambitious, independent theatre, playing a pivotal role in Australia’s cultural landscape - and this redevelopment project is a testament to an ongoing commitment to fostering creative excellence and community engagement.

The redevelopment of the historic 1914 Parish Hall, designed by Nelson Koo Architects and overseen by former Creative Victoria Minister, Martin Foley as its patron, will include: Enhanced Facilities: Modern, accessible spaces for artists and audiences, featuring a new lighting grid, improved technical support, and a new backstage building with much-needed workshop and rehearsal space.

The project will also ensure the preservation of heritage - restoring the historic Parish Hall to ensure its legacy endures for future generations - and a revitalised venue that serves as a focal point for community interaction, education and enjoyment through inclusive and accessible cultural programming.

The local economy will benefit

through increased tourism, job creation, and cultural investment.

The redevelopment is generously underwritten by a $1,100,000 grant from the State Government through Creative Victoria Theatre Works Executive Director/Creative Producer Dianne Toulson says: “We are actively seeking additional support to make our facilities the best they can be.

“This project not only aims to restore and enhance our building but also reaffirms our dedication to fostering creative excellence and community inclusivity.”

Ms Toulson points out that there has been a significant increase in building costs since the funding was received, and “To stay within budget, we've had to make some sacrifices in the fit-out”.

■ Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man following a fatal car crash in Tooradin on Saturday, July 6.

It is alleged that a silver 2009 Jeep Wrangler with three occupants was travelling south on South Gippsland Hwy when the driver lost control and left the road at Baxter Tooradin Rd before rolling just after 8.30pm.

The rear seat passenger, a 32-year-old Dandenong man, died at the scene.

The driver, a 38-year-old Clyde North man and front seat passenger, a 34-year-old Officer man, were taken to hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Investigators have since charged the 38year-old Clyde North man with dangerous driving causing death. He faced the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.

He was bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on December 9.

Smash and grabs

■ Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating a series of linked smash and grab incidents across the Mornington Peninsula early on Tuesday morning last week (July 9).

Police were called on each occasion following reports a group of up to four males smashed their way into closed service stations between 12.10am and 1.05am.

It is believed the offenders used a hammer to smash the front windows of the stores to gain entry before they made off with quantities of cigarettes and prepaid mobile phones.

The five locations targeted include petrol stations in:

■ Frankston Flinders Rd in Tyabb,

■ two stores on Moorooduc Highway, Moorooduc,

■ Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill and

■ Point Nepean Rd in Tootgarook

The offenders, who have been described as teenagers, were wearing dark clothing and were last seen leaving the incidents in a grey Mazda sedan.

■ Homicide Squad detectives have charged a man following the death of a man in Brighton on July 5.

Police were called to a property on Foote St, where a man was found with injuries about 8.30pm.

Emergency services performed CPR, but the 84-year-old Brighton man died at the scene.

A 52-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has been charged with murder, breach of intervention order and aggravated burglary.

He was remanded and appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.

Highway fatality

■ A man has died following a fatal collision in Eumemmering last month.

It is understood a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle when he was crossing the Princes Highway about 7pm on June 14.

The male pedestrian, a 30-year-old Dandenong man, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. He died on Wednesday, July 10.

The driver of the car, a 21-year-old Chadstone woman, stopped at the scene. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol officers are working to establish the exact circumstances of the incident and investigations are ongoing.

Creepy Chiro Craig

■ Former Beaconsfield chiropractor Craig Carter, 65, pleaded guilty in the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on July 8 to three charges of sexual assault, after a patient came forward to tell of her ordeal.’

Magistrate Fran Medina convicted Carter and sentenced him to a 30 month community corrections order where he will have to complete 250 hours of unpaid community work.

“He has handed back his registration and is no longer practising,” Carter’s lawyer Louis Dean told the Court.

BEST AGAINST THE REST

■ With nominations yet to be finalised the field for the ‘speed’ race - the Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley on September 9 - it looks like as usual, attracting the best of our speed machines at Moonee Valley. Three of the best in Australia could go around includeing I Wish I Win, Giga Kick and the good mare, Bella Nipotina, among the many trying for the coveted event.

The winner of the Kingsford Smith Cup at Eagle Farm on June 1, I Wish I Win, will be the logical pick, prepared by the team of Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman.

The son of a former Cox Plate winner, Savabeel, is taking all before him and is among the best seven sprinters in the land.

He returned after a lengths spell to beat some top notches in the Kingsford Smith Cup at Eagle Farm, beating two good martes in Bella Nipotina and I Secret.

Bella Nipotina is prepared by the top trainer Ciaron Maher, who has trained more than 100 winners this race season so far.

If ever there was one that stood out on the weights in the K-Smith Stakes , it was Bella Nipotina.

She got in with 57 kilos for all the fillies and mares, and she was a class above them, with the bottom weight carrying 55.5 kilos in the Tatts Tiara, after a good ride by Ryan Moloney.

This race, of course, has more cream than the largest dairy.

Next is yet another crackerjack sprinter in Giga Kick, prepared by young trainer, Clayton Douglas at Mornington, who has won over $10 million, in stake earnings

It could have been a lot more, unfortunately sustaining a leg injury at Moonee Valley in September, missing the last Everest, which would have added a lot more loot into the bag of money, already earned.

One of the veterans of the racing scene is still having a crack at the cash in Private Eye, a real goer for trainer Joe Pride

His run in the Doomben 10,000 was a pretty good one behind Bella Nipotina, I Wish I Win, and Espiona, not far from the top echelon.

He has banked plenty of bullion for the team over the few years he has competed

Another one who tries hard is the rising fouryear-old mare on August 1, Estrella, prepared by Ciaron Maher, and has ability, but now she is meeting the best big boys.

Another mare who always gives of her best is the Cummings trained mare In Secret, a win-

Ted Ryan

ner of the coveted Newmarket Handicap up the straight six at Flemington, and a good sprinter among the best.

This distance is ideal, and she handles Moonee Valley OK.

Another good galloper, Veight, in the care of the McEvoy team of Tonya and his son Calvin, showed his class in beating a strong field of middle-distance horses in the George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill Gardens back in March.

He beat some good horses in Think About It, Kovalica, Golden Mile, Amenable and Militarize.

One of the best going around is the Western Australian mare, Amelia’s Jewel, who in my opinion has a lost a little of her ability after being blasted by the music in the background in the mounting yard at Caulfield a while back.

However, she did put in two good runs in the coveted event the Quokka in Western Australia, behind the good sprinter Overpass. I feel she has got a task here if she does go around, but I would love to see her run well for connections.

She is now with leading Sydney trainer, Chris Waller.

Congratulations must go to the young Victorian trainer, Henry Dwyer, with his good sprinting mare, Asfoora, winning the great race, the King Charles III at Ascot, in great fashion against some of best English horses up the straight.

Overpass is one you have to give a chance after two great Quokka wins in Western Australia, and is among the best sprinters in the land also.

He has been putting in for sometime and it is a credit to his trainer Bjorn Baker.

One that races well is the Annabel Neasham trained Sunshine in Paris, a good fourth in the All Aged Stakes back in April at Randwick.

She has contested a number of top races and goes alright, as shown with some of the runs in her class.

Then we have the top Victorian filly, Bold Bastille, in the care of the Hayes team at Euroa. She is one of the quickest showing her skills in top races.

She is coming up three on August 1 and should go well in her three-year-old years.

Another of the good fillies going around is the Golden Slipper winner, Lady of Camelot.

Prepared by the top duo, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, she is extremely good, covering all the main two year-old events in Sydney. She will be running on at the end, but it’s a tough ask.

The other to mention is C’estMaguque, a recent winner of the Dane Ripper Stakes at Eagle Farm. Has ability, but they are tough at the top.

The Western Australian, Oscars Fortune, is pretty smart, winning five of his 10 starts. It has won five with four minors.

Oscar’s Fortune is trained by Dion Luciani, out of Western Australia. This includes a big win over the WA mare, Amelia’s Jewel, now with Chris Waller, the top Sydney trainer.

The Victorian filly, Hayasugi, a winner of the Blue Diamond Stakes back in February at Caulfield, ridden by Jamie Kah, is good and prepared by Clinton McDonald at Mornington one of the best young trainers in racing.

She failed to fire in the Golden Slipper, but she has a ton of ability.

Then we have Espiona, the flying mare from Sydney, who has tackled the best across Australia, but at some of starts against the top echelon she has been found wanting, but good on her day.

It’s pretty tough here, but it depends who goes around on the day.

I feel the main contenders are I Wish I Win, Giga Kick and Bella Nipotina

Getting away from the Moir Stakes, and I had a good look at horse going around at Flemington on July 6.

Switching tracks I thought I may have seen this year’s Caulfield Cup winner, a nice looking grey horse, a five-year-old gelding by the top Irish entire, Mastercraftsman, from an Irish mare in, Bright and Shining

He won the Banjo Paterson Series Final over 2600 metres as they see in a breeze. He has only 15 starts for 5 wins, and seven minor placings in top company.

At his first start in Australia for Ciaron Maher, who won the Melbourne Cup with Gold Trip three years back, he finished seventh in a benchmark 90, at Flemington. He then moved up to 2000 metres beaten easily by Desparado over 2000 metres.

CITY Games at Fed Sq.

■ The State Government will light up Fed Square in green and gold as Victoria’s official live site for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games – showing all the action including the much-anticipated Matilda’s matches.

Colin Brooks, Minister for Creative Industries, joined Olympic legends Mack Horton and Alistair Donohoe to announce that for the first time Fed Square will screen the live action, replays and highlights every day of the Olympic and Paralympic Games

Following the unprecedented interest in the women’s FIFA World Cup matches, entry to Fed Square will be ticketed for all Matilda’s matches with temporary fencing around the Square and bag checks upon entry. Tickets are free but attendees do need to register online – they will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

The live site is presented in partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee, Paralympics Australia and Channel Nine, and with the support of Brisbane 2032.

The Fed Square Olympics and Paralympics live site will screen every day of the Olympic and Paralympic action with highlights and replays on the big screen from 12 Noon to 4pm daily, followed by Nine’s live broadcast from 4pm to 10pm.

The Olympics start on July 26 and runs until August 11. The Paralympics will run from August 28 until September 8.

SOUTH-EAST

New Loop contracts

■ The first stage of the State Government’s Suburban Rail Loop project is powering ahead with the appointment of the preferred bidder for the second tunnelling contract for SRL East.

Made up of a global consortium of leaders in tunnelling – including WeBuild S.p.A, GS Engineering and Construction Australia, and Bouygues Construction Australia –Terra Verde will be responsible for constructing the 10-kilometre northern twin tunnels between Glen Waverley and Box Hill following contract negotiations.

In Box Hill, major piling works are already underway on Whitehorse Rd as crews build a temporary bridge to keep traffic flowing during construction.

Suburban Connect was awarded the $3.6 billion contract in late 2023 to complete the 16-kilometre southern twin tunnel between Cheltenham and Glen Waverley. Site investigations and preparatory work are currently making way for tunnel boring machines to begin work in 2026.

The package to build the high-tech fleet of SRL trains, fit out the tunnels, install signalling and operate and maintain the network will be awarded next year – with the two contracts to build the six new underground stations to follow.

SRL East will deliver railway stations at Deakin and Monash Universities, the connection of four major rail corridors – including a hub for Gippsland passengers at Clayton, 70,000 new homes and 230,000 new job opportunities throughout the surrounding precincts – with trains expected to be running by 2035, a Government representative claimed.

COLAC-OTWAY

Monitor on the job

■ A municipal monitor has been appointed to Colac Otway Shire Council to support good governance processes and practices at the council.

Melissa Horne, Minister for Local Government, announced that Christine Ferguson as municipal monitor to Colac Otway Shire Council from July 12 to January 31. She will provide a report to the Minister at the end of her term.

The Chief Municipal Inspector recommended the Minister exercise her powers under the Local Government Act, based on reports of issues relating to the conduct of councillors and a lack of adherence to governance rules.

Ms Ferguson will oversee, advise and support the council to improve its governance processes and practices and assist in the lead up to, and during, the local government elections in October.

“Christine Ferguson is an accomplished executive and non-executive director with extensive experience in the Victorian public sector,” a Government representative said.

“She is currently serving as a non-executive Director at Triple Zero Victoria, and has also held a range of senior roles at the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.

Ms Horne said: “Christine Ferguson’s valuable experience puts her in an excellent position to support Colac Otway Shire Council to improve its governance processes and practices ahead of the council elections in October.”

GIPPSLAND

Timber haulage

■ Gippsland Logging and Earthmoving has made the successful transition into plantation timber haulage thanks to a grant provided by the State Government’s Timber Innovation Fund

The Traralgon based business took the initiative last year to transition to plantation timber haulage but needed to modify and purchase new equipment in order to do so.

Gippsland Logging and Earthmoving applied for a $330,000 VTIF grant to redesign and repurpose a prime mover and purchase a crane unit that is suitable and compliant for haulage of plantation timber.

leased facial composite images of the man and woman in the hope it will assist in identifying the pair.

The man is described as aged in his early 20s with dark hair.

The woman is described as in her early 20s with shoulder length blonde /brown hair.

No one was physically injured during the incident.

As part of the investigation police are trying to identify the driver of a blue utility towing a trailer. It is believed the driver may have witnessed the incident.

FITZROY

Engulfed in flames

■ A two-storey townhouse in Holden St, Fitzroy , was engulfed in flames and issuing black smoke when FRV crews arrived on scene minutes after the first call to Triple Zero (000) around 12 Noon on Saturday, July 6.

Multiple calls were received and the event escalated to a second alarm with one female occupant suffering burns.

Victoria Police responded to assist with other residents presenting to Ambulance Victoria requiring assistance.

Cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

The decision by the business to transition into plantation timber haulage has also supported the retention and training of six existing fulltime employees.

“The move to plantation timber haulage also means employees who previously would have been working away from home for extended periods are now back with their families most nights,” said a Government representative.

Native timber haulage often required workers to travel long distances, whereas the plantation timber is located closer to Traralgon.

Gippsland Logging and Earthmoving has been operating since 2004, and whilst most of its work is in timber haulage, the business also specialises in earthworks and roading.

SEBASTOPOL

Non-fatal shooting

■ Detectives from the Armed Crime Squad have charged a man following a non-fatal shooting in Sebastopol last month.

With assistance from the Special Operations Group, a 25-year-old Sunshine North man was arrested in Ballarat.

The man has since been interviewed by investigators and charged with numerous offences including home invasion, intentionally cause serious injury, recklessly cause serious injury and unlicenced driving. He was to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.

A search warrant was subsequently executed at a residential address in Sunshine, where police seized a number of mobile phones and a taser.

The charges follow an incident where emergency services were called to an Edwards St address following reports of gunshots around 1.30am on Monday, June 24. A 25-year-old man was located at the premises with a gunshot wound to the upper body.
