The system has failed us: Dermot O’Toole’s family speaks to media outside the Supreme Court on Monday 27 October. Picture: Cameron McCullough

Family devastated by sentence Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au THE family of murdered Hastings jeweller Dermot O’Toole have spoken of their devastation over the 27 year sentence handed to his killer, Gavin Perry.

Minutes before, Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth handed down the sentence requiring Perry to serve a minimum of 23 years before being eligible for parole.

Ferocious weather had delayed the arrival of Perry in court.

When he was finally led in, the 27-year-old was wearing a shabby

Killer’s 27-year term ‘nothing’ compared to life sentence the O’Toole family faces blue shirt and pink striped tie, slightly askew.

He could not make eye contact with members of the O’Toole family or their supporters, as they were obscured by a partition to his left.

Flanked by two correctional officers, Perry showed little emotion during the proceedings and stared straight ahead with his hands clasped in front of him,

moving only to take an occasional sip of water. Justice Hollingworth began the sentencing by describing the lead up to the murder.

Perry and his then girlfriend, Rhiannon Bailey, had gone into the jewellery store earlier on the day of the murder, staying for about five minutes.

“As you were leaving you made a comment about having made the

counter dirty with your fingertips; you put your hand inside your t-shirt and wiped down the glass counter,” Justice Hollingworth said.

“You then used your elbow to close the store door behind you. There is no dispute that you did these things to avoid leaving fingerprints, as you were already planning to rob the store later.”

The judge went on to detail how

Perry returned to Hastings later that day and stole a knife from the Safeway supermarket at 4.38pm.

“You then entered the Jewel Shed just before 5pm. You produced a large carving knife from inside your tracksuit pants.”

The ensuing confrontation between Mr and Mrs O’Toole and Perry lasted little more than 30 seconds but left Mrs O’Toole badly injured and Mr O’Toole dying on the floor of the store.

After an initial skirmish with Mrs and Mr O’Toole Justice Hollingworth said Perry “pushed Mr O’Toole again, and he slipped over onto his back”.

Labor closes ranks against port local jobs would be created.

“My biggest concern, first and foremost, is jobs for the people of Hastings and growth of local businesses that employ them,” Mr Hosking said last week.

“We need genuine, long-term, fulltime, properly paid quality jobs and business opportunities in Hastings.

“When the Liberals say ‘thousands of jobs’ do they mean proper jobs, or three-week’s labouring in three years to top up a shortfall for the construction company?”

Mr Hosking said that, if elected, he would throw his support behind Labor’s plan to create an independent planning body to investigate the preferred location for the port and how to best generate “employment and business growth alternatives that are environmentally friendly for Hastings”.

“For example, one option worth looking at would be the growing cruise ship industry which spends an average of $30,000 to resupply at each threeto-five day stopping point, with a third of their passengers going off ship to stay in the area, and another third doing day trips to surrounding tourist spots, spreading the economic benefits even wider,” he said.

Port Minster David Hodgett and opposition ports spokeswoman Natalie Hutchins held a debate in Hastings on 13 October to push their respective parties’ policy positions on development of a second international container terminal in Melbourne.

Mr Hodgett argued that Western Port’s deep water attributes made Hastings the natural choice for the location of an international port, while

Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE state Labor Party’s three peninsula candidates have affirmed their strong opposition to any expansion of the Port of Hastings due to environmental concerns and the apparent lack of jobs tipped to be generated by the controversial project.

In a joint statement released last week, the Labor candidates for Mornington, Nepean and Hastings, Rebecca Wright, Carolyn Gleixner and Steve Hosking, said construction of a deep water port at Hastings posed an unacceptable risk to both the environment and viability of the peninsula’s thriving marine-based tourism industry.

Development of the Port of Hastings would generate few local jobs, especially over the longer term once construction work was complete, while threatening 50,000 existing tourist industry jobs, the Labor candidates stated.

They have thrown their support behind Bay West, near Geelong, as the preferred location for a second Melbourne deep water port, in line with official Labor Party policy, while promising to court the billion-dollar international cruise ship industry to generate jobs and economic growth in the Western Port and broader peninsula region.

The location of the port looms as a virtual referendum among peninsula voters in the upcoming state poll, with the region’s three sitting Liberal MPs – Neale Burgess (Hastings), David Morris (Mornington), and Martin Dixon

Go west: Labor candidate for Nepean Steve Hosking says he’s right behind the party’s stance on opposing expansion of the Port of Hastings.

(Nepean) – all staunchly supporting Hastings as the preferred location for Melbourne’s second deep water port.

Mr Hosking, the ALP candidate for Hastings, was embroiled in controversy three months ago after reportedly opposing official Labor Party policy and backing development of a container terminal at Hastings on the basis of its potential to generate jobs for the region.

However, Mr Hosking said his comments, reported in the Western Port News [‘Labor’s port pains’, 8 July 2014], had been misconstrued and misrepresented by the Coalition.

Mr Hosking said he had suggested only that “if” the development was able to deliver local jobs he would have considered supporting it, but the evidence was clear that precious few

suggesting the development would provide a $20 billion economic benefit to the area and create about 100 direct and thousands of related jobs.

However, Ms Hutchins maintained the environmental risks were too high, while refuting Coalition assertions of a “jobs boom” for the peninsula.

Ms Hutchins questioned whether a second container port would be needed anywhere in Melbourne for at least 25 years, while suggesting logistical constraints could lead to a “doubling of the cost of freight” if a port was located at Hastings.

Mr Hosking, who also attended the debate along with Ms Wright and Ms Gleixner, said he fully supported Ms Hutchins comments, adding that support among Hastings voters for the port would evaporate once they discovered there would be few employment opportunities.

“The only reason some Hastings locals may have supported the Port of Hastings development was the hope of getting a job,” Mr Hosking said.

“But as many people at the meeting on Monday night made clear, holding out for vague promises of a job that may not even eventuate hardly seems worth it if it comes at the cost of ruining Western Port bay forever.”

Ms Gleixner, the candidate for Nepean, which takes in Western Port towns between Somers and Flinders, said the many residents in her electorate struggling after losing their jobs in Hastings “needed something more concrete to back up the Liberals promises, than throw away lines and vague speculations of thousands of jobs”.

She said her position on the development of the Port of Hasting was based on “compelling evidence related to infrastructure issues, the environment, boating, commercial and recreational fishing, safety and exclusion zone issues, and the risk to the 50,000 existing jobs in the Western Port area related to the tourist industry”.

“To date, the only concrete figures we have had on jobs were from Mike Lean, the CEO of the Port of Hastings, when he spoke at a recent meeting on Shoreham and said he had 32 staff, 15 who were locals, 17 who were not, and only expected to put on 10 more staff once the port was fully automated,” Ms Gleixner said.

“This is hardly good enough. Even in the construction phase, if the Port of Hastings does go ahead under the Liberals, there is no guarantee of jobs for Hastings locals. Many construction companies for specialised projects bring in their own teams.

“I have not seen any business plans specifying employment requirements.

All we hear from the Liberals are dollar estimates and throw away lines about ‘thousands of jobs’.”

Ms Wright said that despite the dire employment situation on the peninsula, expansion of the Port of Hastings was not the answer to generating jobs growth.

“Everyone wants the employment situation on the peninsula to improve, but it’s hard to make sense of the Liberals’ determination to rush it through without a convincing, fully thought through and transparently documented business case - millions of dollars of taxpayers money could be wasted,” Ms Wright said.

Chamber boss quits after five months THE Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry has lost its president after only five months.

David Nelli, right, cites “health issues” for his surprise resignation after taking over from former president Lisa Dixon only last June.

“That’s the main reason I’m going,” Mr Nelli said on Monday. “I’ve done what I set out to do and helped get the chamber back on track.

“They’ve got the community together and there’s a solid committee in place. It’s got a good executive with plenty of nous and they’re doing a great job.”

Mr Nelli’s appointment came after a tumultuous year at the chamber dogged by controversy over “membership structure”. At his acceptance speech he detailed new rules that were then being ratified by the Department of Consumer Affairs.

These included rewriting the cham-

Friends, enemies in the garden DON’T shoot the messengers. That’s the sage word of advice concerning weeds and pests that can tell observant gardeners what’s happening in their realm, how to assess the health of the soil and the biology of plants and animals.

Biological gardening is the next step in growing foods organically, and going beyond the removal of chemicals. Biological gardening aims to create a healthy biological system, naturally resistant to pests and diseases.

Mornington Peninsula Shire will host a workshop on biological gardening from 1-2.30pm, Saturday 8 November at The Eco Living Display Centre at The Briars, 450 Nepean Highway, Mt Martha.

Those attending will learn how to grow healthy foods by observing how weeds, insects and diseases indicate the health, or otherwise, of a garden. To book for the Beyond organics workshop phone 5987 3078.

Tea and coffee is available and notes will be provided. The cost is $15 a person.

ber’s constitution after “anomalies of representation” were uncovered in May. Mr Nelli – a real estate agent with Ray White Hastings - is a life

member of the chamber and had been president twice before. He has lived in Hastings for 14 years.

“I’ve done my fair share and it’s time to move on,” the 10-year member said. “I have put back in what I have taken out.”

Mr Nelli said current issues facing the chamber included filling empty shops and getting a “spread” of businesses along High St – rather than a majority being “hairdressers and coffee shops”.

“You got to remember the chamber is there to help; it is all voluntary yet it can be an easy target for critics.”

He said the committee would choose an interim president at next Tuesday’s meeting. “I was going to announce my resignation then but the [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council found out I was leaving [and that brought things forward],” he said.

Postcards arrive THE Postcards: Stories from the Mornington Peninsula touring exhibition at Mornington library has won a prize at this year's Victorian Community History Awards as part of History Week 2014.

The exhibition - on show until 16 November - is about the early history of some of the peninsula’s most popular holiday spots, and explores a time when holidaying was a grand pastime and memories were shared by the iconic postcard.

To create the exhibition the peninsula’s eight historical societies gathered special objects, images and oral histories from Mornington, Rye, Balnarring, Sorrento, Hastings, Somerville, Dromana and Flinders. The show will be at Coolart Wetlands, Somers, 22 November-25 January. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/postcards

Seminar on WW1 RETIRED commander Jim Dickson spoke on "The role of the Royal Australian Navy August-October 1914" at a Mornington Peninsula Family History Society seminar.

He delivered his address to the “How peninsula people responded to the beginning of the Great War” seminar which attracted 100 history buffs to the Frankston Mechanics Institute earlier this month.

Commander Dixon, a long-time peninsula resident, started his 41-year career as a cadet midshipman at HMAS Cerberus in 1950. He later commanded three Navy ships, including HMAS Melbourne and HMAS Sydney, and then returned to command HMAS Cerberus for three years before retiring in 1990.

The history society and other organisations provided information and displayed items of interest concerning World War I, alongside items giving an insight into the community at the time.

Ward funds still for the chop Guitarist’s classical ‘tribute’ Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au

AN incoming state government will press ahead with axing councillors’ discretionary ward funds no matter which major political party wins next month’s state election.

The News can reveal the Liberal and Labor parties both intend to ban ward grants as part of a wider clampdown on councillors’ conduct across Victoria.

The Local Government Inspectorate investigated the use of ward funds by 32 of the state’s councils last year and found just four councils – Greater Dandenong City Council, Maribyrnong City Council, South Gippsland City Council and Greater Geelong City Council - had “demonstrated accountable practices” when distributing ward funds.

The LGI found insufficient governance around most councils’ ward funds programs meant “fraudulent or corrupt practices by individual councillors, whereby funds may be committed to self-interest groups” could occur.

The Shire’s 11 councillors are currently able to distribute $10,000 each to community groups or individuals in a financial year.

The Coalition state government moved to ban ward funds as part of a bill to set higher conduct standards for councillors but was unable to pass the legislation before the end of Parliament’s sitting term before next month’s state election.

Labor spokesman for local government Richard Wynne told The News the opposition agreed with most of the provisions within the legislation but

had failed to reach compromise with the state government on some of the detail.

“This legislation has been sitting in the parliament for weeks and we’ve been ready to debate it,” Mr Wynne said.

“It shows how chaotic this government has become that they couldn’t get such an important piece of legislation passed.”

Mr Wynne said Labor would “absolutely” seek to scrap the ward grants program across Victoria if it wins government next month.

“It is vital the use of public funds is transparent,” he said.

Local Government Minister Tim Bull said the Coalition government “is committed to implementing reforms to strengthen council governance and councillor conduct.”

“A re-elected Napthine Government will ensure this Bill is re-introduced and passed as quickly as possible at the beginning of the next term of Parliament,” Mr Bull said.

“The only reason this much-needed reform has not already become law is due to Labor’s obstructionism in the Parliament.”

Mr Wynne said Labor had disagreed on giving mayors the power to throw councillors out of council chambers during debates and removing the right of an individual councillor to abstain from voting on a matter before council.

He said Labor also did not back the Coalition’s push to have an independent person be involved in the selection of council CEOs. “That’s a matter for councils,” Mr Wynne said.

It’s action stations for election Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au VANDALISM and fights hit the Frankston line last week and a train seat was slashed amid verbal altercations.

Protective services officers did not intervene though because politicians, not commuters, were at the centre of the dispute.

Liberal and Labor politicians became embroiled in a bitter political stoush over the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train at Frankston train station on Wednesday morning as both major parties try to gain the upper hand on public transport ahead of next month’s state election.

Voters’ gripes with public transport is regarded as a key reason the Coalition state government won marginal bayside seats such as Frankston and Carrum from Labor at the 2010 state election.

Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder was angered by a suspected act of sabotage before the first X’Trapolis train began its inaugural journey to Frankston. A driver’s seat was slashed the night before the train trip. Metro Trains has vowed to find the perpetrator.

Politicians also traded barbs over the rollout of X’Trapolis trains on the Frankston line.

Mr Mulder was on board to visit Frankston and spruik the benefits of the new Metro train ahead of next month’s state election as “a further step forward in the Victorian Coalition government’s transformation of commuter travel on the Frankston line under the $115 million Bayside Rail Project.”

He said eight new X’Trapolis trains

would run on the Frankston, Werribee and Williamstown lines “in late 2015” after rail infrastructure upgrades to accommodate more of the Frenchmade trains.

“X’Trapolis trains include enhanced safety features such as CCTV cameras in every carriage with a direct video link to the train driver,” Mr Mulder said.

Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead said the arrival of the X’Trapolis train “was a taste of more good things down the track for commuters on the Frankston line”.

“X’Trapolis trains are the newest, biggest and fastest trains on Melbourne’s network,” Mr Armistead said.

The trains have been running elsewhere on Melbourne’s rail network since 2002.

Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke called last Wednesday’s X’Trapolis launch “a political stunt”.

“There are safety concerns about the speed of the X’Trapolis train not being co-ordinated with level crossings, incomplete signalling works and gaps between the platform and carriage at certain stations,” Mr Edbrooke said.

Just one X’Trapolis train per day will run on the Frankston line until the rail network upgrades are finished in 12 months’ time.

Metro Trains advised The News that the X’Trapolis train will be in service four times per day on the Frankston

line. It will depart Frankston for Melbourne at 6.38am and 8.44am on weekdays and leave Melbourne’s Flinders St Station at 5.30am and 7.35am.

The train can travel at speeds of up to 130km/h but will be restricted to a top speed of 90km/h on the Melbourne rail network.

Metro Trains confirmed the maximum speed of the X’Trapolis fleet will not change after the late 2015 rail network upgrades.

Mr Edbrooke said the government had “rushed out a single train service… on the eve of an election”.

The arrival of the much-vaunted X’Trapolis train on the Frankston line captured media attention with press

and TV news crews dispatched from Melbourne to cover Mr Mulder’s press conference at Frankston station.

Former Liberal MP Geoff Shaw, now an independent after several disagreements with the Coalition state government, arrived on the Frankston station platform and talked to Mr Mulder after the media conference.

Small cardboard replicas of the X’Trapolis train and leaflets promoting the Bayside Rail Project were distributed by Liberal Party staffers.

The first edition of a Liberal Party-produced 8-page “community newspaper” called The Southern Express was handed out to passersby.

The Liberals intend to distribute the so-called newspaper, which toes the government line on improvements to the Melbourne rail network, at train stations along the Frankston line.

The party’s logo is nowhere to be seen in the “newspaper” which also contains crosswords, details about local events and soup recipes alongside state government propaganda pieces spruiking the Coalition’s public transport pledges in the lead up to the state election.

Public Transport Users Association spokesman Daniel Bowen took to his personal blog after the X’Trapolis launch event in Frankston to note Coalition MPs reckoned “the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train in service on the Frankston line was a miraculous huge leap forward for train travellers — a rocket-powered, laser-guided teleportation device that can get you to your destination in seconds.”

Islanders against port expansion PUBLIC protests against the state government’s planned expansion of the Port of Hastings have been held on consecutive weekend on the two largest islands in Western Port.

On Saturday 18 October the French Island Port Stoppers organised a beach “Party Against the Port�, using washed up seagrass to spell out “Stop the port� letters large enough to be seen from the air.

Last Saturday port protesters were at St Phillips Hall, Cowes, to hear speakers from several environment groups outline the pre-election policies for Victoria’s next major port being adopted by the government and the Opposition.

French Island's resident singersongwriter Majella Frick sang a song she had written opposing the port expansion and life in the bay’s internationally recognised wetlands to an audience holding such banners as “Don’t give us the ships�, “There is no planet B� and “Make tourism, not ports�.

Alison Pitt said that the port stoppers group represented the views of most of the island’s residents “who care about their environment, both terrestrial and marine�. “When Western Port was planned to be a major port many years ago, it was before the wetlands were fully understood and before the days of mega container ships. Now we know the irreparable damage caused by the required dredging and the pollution caused by the large ships carrying today's containers,� Ms Pitt said.

Hastings Greens candidate Derek Fagan said that the Greens were “totally opposed to the expansion of the

Line in the sand: French Islanders used washed-up seagrass to make their point about not wanting a major container port at Hastings, left, while an estimated 100 Phillip Islanders listen to speakers make the same point during a meeting at Cowes on Saturday.

Port of Hastings into a major container port and would support genuine jobs being created in this region for the development of renewable energy and in tourism�.

Mr Fagan said he was helping organise a protest in Western Port on Sunday 16 November when a flotilla of boats will take to the water with the antiwhaling organisation, Sea Shepherd. “We won’t give up the fight for more sustainable development in Western Port,� Ms Pitt said.

At the Phillip Island meeting speakers predicted adverse impacts a container port at Hastings would have on Western Port, including risks to Phillip Island, fishing, the environment, boating and wildlife.

Photographer Lisa Schonberg told The News that the number of whales

entering Western Port had increased over the past five years “so much that a tour company runs whales tours each weekend over winter�.

Speakers included Australian Oceans Institute policy director Chris Smyth who has written a report Scenario Planning for Westernport Bay; Phillip Island Conservation Society president Anne Davey; Jeff Nottle of Preserve Western Port Action Group; Victoria University’s Dr Hermione Parsons, who earlier this year released a study casting doubts on the economic benefits of developing Hastings rather than a major port near Geelong in Port Phillip; and Haans Siver, of Sea Shepherd.

From footy friends to family restaurateurs - Two mates open La Porchetta Hastings LA Porchetta restaurateurs, Jason Krainski and Stephen Montebello have been firm friends since they were eleven years old, when they met playing footy in the Under 12s.

Now, both aged 30, and in business together for the last nine years, Jason and Stephen have defied all popular ideas about mixing friendship with business. Following the success of their La Porchetta restaurant in Rosebud, they have opened their second La Porchetta on the peninsula, this time in Hastings.

“We were 11 years old when we met,” said Stephen. “Jason was the biggest guy on the footy field, so I figured it was a good idea to stick with him.”

After playing football together until they were 21 years old, including for the Western Jets and the Northern Bullants, they decided in 2005 to go into business together. That’s when they bought La Porchetta at Rosebud.

“That was a fantastic year for us both,” said Stephen. “Jason got married and we bought the business together. We were only 21 years old and it was a very exciting time.”

Nine years later, they credit their success to putting their friendship and history first.

La Porchetta is now very much a part of the local community at Rosebud. Jason and Stephen support local sports clubs, the SES and services

and they plan to do the same at Hastings.

“Rosebud is a close community where people look after each other and we feel Hastings is the same,” said Stephen. “Supporting your local clubs and services is really important in rural areas and we’ll be doing that in Hastings.”

Like its sister restaurant, La Porchetta Hastings offers home-style, European dining at affordable prices.

Diners can choose from the extensive pizza and pasta menu for which La Porchetta is so well known, or steak, salad, chicken or seafood dishes, as well as risottos. There is also a daily specials board, so there’s always something to suit everyone’s taste and preference. Meals are prepared fresh, using only the finest ingredients, including sun-drenched tomatoes from Italy.

And then there’s the legendary La Porchetta warmth and hospitality. “We treat everyone like they are family,” said Jason. “At Rosebud, we have many regular customers and looking after them involves more than just taking their order.

We try to make our restaurant feel like home.”

If that’s an indication of what to expect at La Porchetta Hastings, locals will be in for a treat.

See more about La Porchetta at www.laporchetta.com.

La Porchetta Hastings is at Shops 2 & 3, 109 Hastings St, Hastings.

Jewel Shed murderer eligible for parole in 2037

Dermot O’Toole: The judge described the beloved husband, father and grandfather as a “hardworking, kind, decent man, who lived life to the fullest”.

From page 1 “He put his feet up towards you in a defensive manner. You moved around to Mr O’Toole’s left shoulder area, and stabbed him twice in his upper chest with the knife”.

The judge made note that, at the time Perry stabbed Mr O’Toole, he had ample opportunity to leave.

But instead, Perry had “moved around his legs and body, moving further into the store, in order to reach over and stab him”.

“The fatal stab involved you thrusting the knife into Mr O’Toole’s chest to the full depth of the blade,” Justice Hollingworth said.

Mr O’Toole briefly got to his feet before collapsing to the floor. A number of people rushed to his aid and tried to resuscitate him, but he died at the scene.

Perry then fled, pursued by a number of people who happened to be nearby. One noted the registration plates of the vehicle Perry left in; a

silver Commodore.

Mrs O’Toole was taken to Frankston Hospital after the attack. She was treated for multiple lacerations - including to her left elbow and forearm, her back, and her left ear and forehead - as well as bruising to her chest area.

She required suturing, and underwent plastic surgery in relation to a number of these injuries.

The judge made note of the mental scars suffered by Mrs O’Toole, as well as the physical ones.

“Not only was Bridget O’Toole physically attacked herself, but she had to watch her husband of 41 years die in front of her, after he came to her defence.

“She has become very fearful and hyper-vigilant. She has been diagnosed as suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. She feels guilt at having been the one who survived”.

The judge described the CCTV footage of the incident as that of someone “acting in a fast and frenzied manner,

entirely consistent with somebody on ice”.

Perry later admitted he was high on the drug at the time, but the judge said that was not a mitigating factor given his “habitual usage of the drug, and the fact that you knew how it made you behave.”

Justice Hollingworth went on to say that “sometime after 5pm that day, you enlisted Ms Bailey’s assistance to get some petrol and a lighter, and to accompany you while you set fire to the Commodore on some vacant land at Crib Point”.

“The two of you then went home in Ms Bailey’s other car.

“Afterwards, she reported to police that the Commodore had been stolen, as you had directed her to do.

“You did this to try and avoid being linked with the Jewel store events”.

As well as the armed robbery at the Jewel Shed on 12 July last year, Perry was also sentenced for the armed robbery of a Red Rooster in Cranbourne on 6 July 2013 and the armed robbery of a Money 3 shop in Cranbourne on 11 July 2013.

In the first robbery, Perry entered the fast food outlet just after 11am and demanded money from the 19-year-old store manager, telling him to open the safe or he would “stab [his] eyes out”.

He left the store with about $1000.

In the second armed robbery, less than a week later, Perry entered the Money 3 shop with a bag containing a “solid object”. He held the bag towards the staff member, making out that it contained a gun, and told him to put the money in the bag or he would “blow [his] f***ing head off”.

That robbery netted Perry about $3000.

The judge spoke of Perry’s troubled upbringing and his “anti-social personality disorder”.

His first court appearance was in July 1999, at the age of 12 years old.

By 13 Perry was living in foster care.

Since the age of 13, Perry has spent a large part of his life in juvenile and adult detention.

“You have a long history of criminal offending,” Justice Hollingworth said.

Perry had more than 200 convictions for offences, mainly involving property, and had been sentenced to six years for armed robbery in February 2010.

He had been released on parole from prison on 7 February last year and was still on parole when he committed the spate of armed robberies culminating in the death of Mr O’Toole.

Hinting at his anti-social tendencies inside prison, Justice Hollingworth noted that Perry has been held in protection throughout the term of his cur-

titled to a discount on the sentence to be imposed upon you in recognition of your plea, and its utilitarian value.

“Your plea has facilitated the course of justice. The community has been spared the time and cost of committal hearing and a trial of these charges against you.

“The family and friends of Mr O’Toole have been spared what would, undoubtedly, have been a very traumatic trial.”

The judge sentenced Perry to 20 years imprisonment for murder, four years for intentionally causing injury, and five years imprisonment for the armed robbery of the Jewel Shed.

She also sentenced him to five years for each of the earlier armed robberies.

Due to the links between the charges, there was considered to be “concurrency” between sentencing resulting in a total sentence of 27 years imprisonment for all charges.

Justice Hollingworth set a non-parole period of 23 years.

She said that if Perry had not pleaded guilty, he would have been sentenced to a total of 32 years imprisonment, with a minimum non-parole period of 27 years.

Other than the O’Toole family and their large number of friends and supporters, there was at least one other person unhappy with the term imposed.

Perry, while being led away from the courtroom tore his neck-tie off in apparent disgust at the sentence.

Gavin Perry: Justice Hollingworth said “the prosecution disputed you have demonstrated substantial remorse or contrition for your actions”.

rent imprisonment.

He is housed in a single cell, allowed out of his cell for two hours each day, worked as a billet, and was only able to mix with a limited group of prisoners.

The prosecution also tendered recordings of 21 phone calls between Perry and Rhiannon Bailey during the time period July 2013 and April 2014.

During these calls, Perry vigorously protested his innocence to Bailey, but on 30 March this year he told her that he had pleaded guilty, because there were “just too many statements” and the DNA had come back positive.

The judge pointed out that during the phone calls Perry never showed “even the slightest concern for Mr O’Toole and his family, far less any regret or remorse for what you had done.”

In sentencing Perry, Justice Hollingworth noted that the charge was downgraded from “common law murder” to “statutory murder”; a charge that reflects that “the prosecution [did] not allege that you stabbed Mr O’Toole with any intention to kill him or cause him really serious injury.”

“Instead the prosecution case is that you intentionally caused his death, by an act of violence done in the course of furtherance of committing the armed robbery.

“The court is obliged to sentence you in accordance with the charge which the prosecution has chosen.”

SURGING energy prices are pushing hundreds of peninsula households into financial crisis, with a disturbing rise in the number of vulnerable families and individuals being disconnected or forced to go without basic necessities due to massive jumps in gas and electricity bills.

Social welfare groups have warned that energy costs are now out of reach for more and more households – and the situation is set to get worse with even greater rises looming in the new year, despite the federal government’s promise of bill relief due to the scrapping of the carbon tax.

Victorian power prices have doubled over the past three years and are now among the highest in the developed world, while gas prices aren’t far behind, with rises tipped to surge at a faster rate than electricity next year.

Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott said unprecedented numbers of peninsula residents were presenting to the service due to unmanageable utility bills.

“It has been a very sharp increase and the amounts of money involved are becoming more and more substantial,” Ms Elliott said.

“Usually, these people have been hit with bills far higher than they had planned for and certainly far higher than they have paid in the past, sometimes double their previous bill, so they’re caught completely by surprise and with no capacity to pay.

“For many people, that means going without basic necessities, such as heating and cooling, or being cut off altogether.

Ms Elliott said price rises were disproportionately hitting lower income households, especially pensioners.

“We have heard from many outreach workers and groups visiting the elderly in their homes that they are simply not turning on their heaters during the middle of winter,” she said.

“They are sitting in their homes in freezing conditions because they simply can’t afford to price of heating. That’s an appalling situation and a damning indictment on our society’s priorities.

“These are our senior citizens, the most vulnerable members of our community, and they can’t even afford heating – a basic necessity.”

Energy bills are now typically well over $100 a week for peninsula homes. For lower income

households, covering theses costs often means going without other basic necessities, such as food, clothes.

The annual reports of the Essential Services Commission and the Energy and Water Ombudsman, released this month, reveal an alarming rise in the number of households being disconnected, with a doubling in the number of cases of wrongful disconnection.

Victorian Council of Social Services CEO Emma King said the “unscrupulous practices” of energy retailers in dealing with customers in financial distress was exacerbating the impact of hefty price rises.

She said the “massive increase” in energy customers seeking help from the ombudsman to deal with disconnection, payment difficulties, or debt collection showed that energy costs were now out of reach for more and more households, and that energy retailers were failing to meet their obligations in the supply of these essential services.

“The growing number of complaints about disconnections highlights the unscrupulous practices and cavalier attitudes of energy retailers who are failing to adequately identify and support consumers who experience difficulty paying their bills,” Ms King said.

“Victoria’s retail energy industry is not meeting community expectations in the supply of these essential services and the time has come to strengthen regulatory oversight of the industry.”

Mornington Community Information and Support Centre financial support worker Yvonne Anderson said households experiencing financial difficulty meeting the cost of bill needed to contact their utility provider at the earliest possible time.

“We’ve found that [the companies] will listen and do what they can to help, so long as the costumer keeps in contact and comes to a suitable affordable repayment arrangement,” Ms Anderson said.

“The key is to make sure that you speak to their financial hardship department – and that once you enter into an agreement, you stick to the payments.

“They’ll often provide concessions and affordable plans, but customers really need to stick to their side of the agreement as well, such as staying in contact and calling at an agreed time.”

However, Ms Anderson agreed that the overall cost of energy was proving to be increasingly unsustainable for more households.

Mowers, caravan stolen from homes TWO ride-on mowers and trailers valued at more than $20,000 were stolen from a home in Balnarring last weekend.

Police investigating the theft said the two bright red Country Clipper mowers were taken from the driveway of a house in Bruce St sometime between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

The mowers, which are owned by a landscaper, were stored on separate trailers when stolen.

Each mower was valued at about $8000 while the trailers were worth around $2500 each.

Police said it was likely the thieves had targeted the address and had advance awareness of the presence of the mowers as they would have needed to come equipped with bolt cutters in order to cut through padlocks and chains securing the trailers to steel them.

It is not known if two vehicles were involved in the theft or if the same vehicle had returned twice to remove the trailers.

Police have urged any who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area at the time of the robbery or who may have seen the distinctive mowers to contract Hastings crime investigation unit detectives on 5970 7850 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The previous evening, a Jayco caravan valued

at about $25,000 was stolen from a Tyabb property. The 2004 caravan was stolen from a residence in Banksia Crescent in the early hours of Saturday 25 October.

The caravan was locked and stored inside the property at the time of the theft.

Police said it was not known if the two thefts were connected but warned a large number of trailers had been stolen from the Western Port region in recent months.

FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED SHOP LOCAL Dishing dirt: The Transport Workers Union last week organised strike action and a picket line outside Bunurong Memorial Park in support of better pay for tipper truck owner-operators. The cemetery is undergoing a major redevelopment requiring the transportation of thousands of tonnes of soil. Picture: Gary Sissons

Tip truck drivers spoil cemetery celebration Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au INDUSTRIAL action by Victorian tipper truck drivers threatens to spoil the party for Bunurong Memorial Park following last week’s announcement of a major expansion of the Bangholme cemetery and crematorium, which came with a promise to put the “fun” back into funerals.

The Transport Workers Union last week organised strike action and picket lines at worksites across Melbourne, including Bunurong Memorial Park, in support of better pay for tipper truck owner-operators.

The memorial park, which was established in 1994 and services Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs including Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, is undergoing a massive expansion program, with 8500 grave sites to be added to the current 2100 graves.

The expansion will include the planting of 80,000 native trees and the addition of function rooms, three chapels, a florist, cafe and a children's playground as the memorial park seeks to expand its appeal to include a wide range of social activities, including weddings and conventions.

However, the works require thousands of tonnes of soil to be added to the site on Frankston-Dandenong Rd – and that soil needs to be transported by tipper truck operators who claim they are being underpaid and forced to work in unsafe and unfair conditions.

On Thursday, Health Minister David Davis joined a ceremony marking the start of the expansion works at Bunurong, while outside, TWU-aligned tipper truck operators picketed the worksite.

TWU organiser Luke McCrone said tipper truck owner-drivers were being driven to the wall by inadequate pay which was making their jobs unviable and forcing them to work in unsafe conditions.

The drivers own their trucks and are paid by plant hire companies on a per-load basis. But that amount is not enough to cover maintenance and repayments on their trucks. The union has been lobbying for the past four months for a 10 per cent pay rise on behalf of the drivers but the plant hire companies are yet to agree, despite most acknowledging the need for a review of pay conditions.

Mr McCrone said the pay demands by tipper truck drivers were far from excessive and that underpaying owner drivers threatened to create unsafe conditions on worksites and public roads.

“They are only asking for what is fair because at the moment, they can’t make ends meet,” Mr McCrone said. “What that means is that drivers may be forced to forgo vital maintenance of their vehicles or put off replacing tyres because they simply can’t afford it, and that’s clearly not a situation anyone wants to see.

“Drivers are forced to rush between jobs to get that extra load, which means taking shortcuts and that makes our roads more dangerous for everyone. It’s not a situation these owner drivers want to be in, nor one they should be forced into to simply put food on the table.”

Bunurong was among about 40 worksites targeted by the TWU last week, with rolling industrial action tipped to continue throughout this week.

Back inside the cemetery, Mr Davis told officials and guests the investment by Bunurong’s operator, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, would transform the memorial park into the largest in Melbourne's south-east and meet the needs of the community for the next 70 years.

“The 101-hectare Bunurong Memorial Park currently has about 2100 graves, 260 mausoleum crypts and 1370 cremation memorial spots available but this will expand,” Mr Davis said. “Given that our population continues to increase, it is important that we have the right services and facilities in place, now and in the future.”

However, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust CEO Jonathan Tribe said the project was far more than just an expansion, outlining a strategy to reposition the cemetery as a major social hub that would be visited by thousands of people a day, including wedding parties, sporting groups and “networking breakfast” attendees.

“Our vision for Bunurong is to transform a traditional cemetery into a ‘new age’ memorial park visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year,” Mr Tribe said.

“We want to demystify cemeteries and get people to regard them as great community assets – green, relaxing places where you can socialise with family and friends. That’s how people in the Victorian era regarded cemeteries.

Mr Tribe said master plan included landscaping and design work that would promote a “distinctive Australian theme”, with the regenerated indigenous natural environment to provide habitat for local fauna. The master plan retains the crematorium, mausoleum and Greek Orthodox Church, while existing “interments” will not to be impacted by the development.

The first of five expansion stages, which is schedules to be completed by 2016, will see the construction of “multi-faith meditation rooms” as well as landscaping works.

Mr Tribe said SMCT research had shown that in the 1860s, about 5000 people would visit the Melbourne General Cemetery on a summer Sunday, with visitors “picnicking in the gardens and promenade along the wide pathways”.

“In the twentieth century, people developed a morbid attitude towards cemeteries,” Mr Tribe said. “Bunurong Memorial Park is a community space that will help change that perception.”

NEWS DESK Eat with volunteers IF you love cooking - and the companionship of a delicious shared meal - then a new Brotherhood of St Laurence social eating service may appeal.

The Brotherhood is calling for volunteers to help with its Dine IN program.

Designed to help build older people’s friendships and sense of community around the sharing of food, Dine IN volunteers from Rosebud and Mornington will host a roast dinner or a small Sunday lunch in their own home for three to six people.

Another volunteer will help prepare the food and collect the groceries, and then converse with guests.

The Brotherhood's Michael Hillier said the charity would pay for all ingredients, as well as gas and electricity costs. ''Dine IN is a great way to connect and help make a difference in isolated seniors' lives," he said. "We're trialling it in Rosebud and Mornington where older people participating will be carefully selected.

"They must be independent with their mobility and care needs.

Volunteers will receive training and support."

The Brotherhood is holding an information day 10am-noon, Thursday 6 November, at the Mornington Community Information Centre, and 10am-noon, Friday 7 November, at Rosebud library.

Building foundation for epilepsy help Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au LIVING with epilepsy can be a lonely experience but it does not have to be that way. A new support group hopes to establish itself in the south east to bring together families whose loved ones suffer from the at times debilitating neurological disorder.

The Epilepsy Foundation, established by a group of concerned parents in 1964 to provide support and information to all Victorians affected by epilepsy, is hosting an information session at Patterson Lakes Community House this week about managing epilepsy.

The foundation is aiming to form an epilepsy support group in the south east having successfully hosted such forums for many years in Melbourne and other regions of Victoria.

Seaford resident Sue is a nurse who lives with her daughter Rebekah who has epilepsy. She welcomed the Epilepsy Foundation push to bring more support services to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Sue and Rebekah sometimes travel to Melbourne for group support sessions to meet other families living with epilepsy but Sue said the journey can sometimes be difficult due to “uncertainty and anxiety” surrounding epileptic seizures.

“There are no social resources down this way to talk with other people about the challenges of living with epilepsy,” Sue said.

“Epilepsy Foundation is unable to put us in direct contact with other families for privacy reasons so a local epilepsy support group would be great.”

Sue said her family “had battled” with epilepsy with 35-year-old Rebekah’s condition “changing in nature over the years” after she was initially diagnosed at the age of 12.

Rebekah’s seizures are irregular and unpredictable.

“We’re never at ease… she has gone from being completely unconscious in the past which is scary enough to having complex partial seizures,” Sue said.

“It has affected her life in many ways, not only has it isolated her from her peers, put a halt to her education, but it has stopped her from doing a lot of activities that others would be able to take in their stride.”

Epilepsy Foundation peer support coordinator David Clunn said the volunteer organisation had a range of groups supporting each other around the state, including AWEsome, a support group for adults living with epilepsy.

“For some people it can be problematic attending meetings that are not close to home,” Mr Clunn said.

“Epilepsy can be really isolating and people can lose confidence so a south east group would be a chance for carers and those who have epilepsy to come along for a chat.”

Mr Clunn said Frankston Hospital neurologist and associate professor Ernest Butler will speak at the Patterson Lakes information session “about the diagnosis and management of epilepsy and how it can affect people at any age.”

“It can be helpful to hear about the process after diagnosis,” Mr Clunn said.

Sue said Rebekah “has learned to

Determined duo: Rebekah, left, has lived with epilepsy for 23 years and she and her mother Sue, right, hope a new south east support group can help. Picture: Yanni

seize the moment and to enjoy life in the best way that she can”.

“She has been a wonderful nanny for her six nieces and nephews. She even managed in the midst of all this at times, to work as a volunteer with people with disabilities and this has given her an even great empathy with others who are in need.”

Sue and Rebekah will attend the Patterson Lakes information session to share their journey while coping with epilepsy.

“We want to reach out to people with

Blues rally forces for new footy era

Going online: Cyril Benjamin back at the controls of “Cyril the steam engine” at Western Port BlueScope Steel’s model rail club’s 40th birthday bash.

‘Cyril’ huffs and puffs for a 40th birthday “Cyril the steam engine” – with retired Lysaght manager Cyril Benjamin at the controls - did a lap of honour to celebrate Western Port BlueScope Steel model rail club’s 40th birthday.

The train ride was followed by a cake cutting and barbecue lunch.

Founded in 1974 the club is on company grounds adjacent to the recreation centre.

The current set up has more than 1.1km of mainline track allowing trains to run a continuous loop. The tabletop layout is 162 metres.

Members have a diverse range of interests and

activities. Locomotive types owned and, in many cases, built by members are steam, petrol, petrolelectric, petrol-hydraulic and battery-electric.

While the club does not host running days for the public, it offers train rides to the families of BlueScope as part of its Christmas function.

HASTINGS Football and Netball Club has sent out a call to arms urging young footy players to sign up for the 2015 season.

The club is inviting potential players aged 16 to 18 and their parents to come along to an informal meeting on Wednesday night to discuss plans for next year’s season.

Blues president Phil Stone said changes to the structures of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League and Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League meant there would no longer be an under 18s completion next year, with the top junior age group now the under 17s while the under 19s will play in the senior competition.

He said it had been particularly difficult recruiting football players within the 16-18 age group.

“They’ve either just finished school or they’re in their last year, they’ve just got themselves a car and girls are their big interest, so it is hard getting them to commit to football,” Mr Stone said.

“We’re trying to get on the front foot and build as much interest in the club as we can and hopefully build a strong team for next year.”

The club has sent letters to the families of Hastings and Tyabb junior footy players inviting them to this week’s meeting in order to gauge the level of support for the under 17s and 19s teams.

“The reason for the letters was to try to ascertain the amount of interest among young men in playing in either competition,” Mr Stone said.

“We thought it would be a good idea to have an informal get-together to discuss the pros and cons of juniors players going forward into next season.”

The meeting is from 6pm on Wednesday 29 October at the Hastings Football Netball Club rooms at Thomas Barclay Oval, Marine Pde, Hastings. Contact Phil Stone on 0412 226 758.

Online service enhances aged health care OLDER residents on the peninsula are reportedly saving time, expense and the stress of travelling to face-to-face appointments by turning to online video consultations for their specialist healthcare needs.

The consultations, through Anywhere Healthcare and called telehealth, are being accessed by 24 aged care facilities in Victoria, includ-

ing the peninsula, enabling elderly patients to access the care of specialists via video link. The service is run

by Medibank.

Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local said telehealth consultations were “making a real difference to elderly residents”.

Anywhere Healthcare director Samuel Holt said the service was

enhancing the care of thousands of older people, and providing certainty around their healthcare needs.

He said a national survey of nursing homes registered with Anywhere Healthcare found strong support for the service.

Aged care connections project officer with FMPML Tracy McNeair said the Anywhere Healthcare service

THANK YOU FROM THE PORT

had enabled residents to quickly access specialist medical care.

“Residents who are frail or unable to travel can now access specialist support ‘at home’ without experiencing the distress associated with being transported to a clinic, which can lead to disorientation, exhaustion and falls or exposure to infections,” she said.

“The resident is, instead, supported

by familiar facility staff, and their family can add value by providing an accurate history and information on behaviours.”

For Anywhere Healthcare availability visit: anywherehealthcare.com.au Medibank Private is expected to list late next month, subject to market conditions.

State urged to delay lease for Point plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SUNDAY was a red flag day for the state government and developers wanting to run a spa-based tourist operation in the Quarantine Station precinct of Point Nepean National Park.

The “red alert picnic protest” at plans unveiled by the Premier Dr Denis Napthine in July leasing land and buildings to the Point Leisure Group for a fivestar resort, including thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre, accommodation (luxury and camping), shops, cafes, restaurants, a “heritage” museum and jetty.

Protesters on Sunday urged the state government not to sign the lease before the 29 November election and for the proposal to “go back to the drawing broad”.

It also coincided with the release of a Victorian National Parks Association survey showing 56 per cent of Victorian’s opposed 99-year private leases in national parks, with 17 per cent in agreement.

Dr Napthine said the company run by Richard and Trine Shelmerdine proposed to spend $100 making Point Nepean an international tourism destination.

However, the announcement was greeted with less enthusiasm by groups and individuals who successfully fought against plans to develop the historic precinct by the former Liberal federal government led by John Howard.

The national park was eventually handed to Victoria with no strings attached after the election of the Labor government led by Kevin Rudd.

The current Liberal state government is negotiating a 25-99 lease with the The

Point group before test bores have been made to check the availability and suitability of thermal water (hot spring) supplies.

Kate Baillieu, long time campaigner for balanced development at Point Nepean, said celebrations had been held in 2009 “when the fences that kept people out [at Point Nepean] came down”.

“Now it looks like the fences will be going up again, to lock us out. But this place belongs to all of us and we mustn't let it become the plaything of one property developer.”

Ms Baillieu said a long term lease for the public land was “tantamount to selling it off”.

“Community and environment groups believe consultation, planning and leasing processes are inadequate to protect the historic and environmental integrity of the national park and its heritage precinct.

"Handing one property developer a 99year lease like this is as good as privatising the national park, something we’ve spent years fighting against. We thought we'd won, but now I believe this is just the first step on the way to privatising all of our national parks – it is a gross betrayal of our trust.”

Nepean Conservation Group president Ursula de Jong said that the national park would now “irrevocably change” if the government’s plans went ahead.

“The concept vision for a health and wellbeing resort with geothermal springs and spas, while adding another layer to the story of the Point Nepean National Park, ignores and obliterates its previous rich history. It is the right of every Victorian to be able to enjoy this National Park with its unique attributes.”

Business equals share awards

Spoils of victory: Entrepreneur Michael Savage and Dr Sally Shaw.

Picture: Mike Fletcher photography

IT was a family affair at the Frankston and Mornington Excellence in Business Awards at the Frankston Arts Centre last week.

Dr Sally Shaw and husband Michael Savage both won awards for their respective businesses.

Dr Shaw - owner of Peninsula Skin Cancer Centres in Mornington and Frankston - won the award for personal services and was also named the overall winner of the business finalists.

Husband Michael accepted the Hall of Fame award for his Enchanted Adventure Garden at Arthurs Seat, which had won the Tourism business award three years running.

“It was the first time we had entered the Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre and we were pretty confident we could win our category, but I’m so excited to win the overall business prize,” Dr Shaw

said as she juggled her trophies and certificates. “Michael hasn’t won that one.”

Michael was very supportive of his wife’s triumph: “Sally has worked very hard over the past 10 years to build up her skin cancer practice and deserves to win the overall prize tonight.

“Now the skin cancer clinic will have to work towards joining the Enchanted Adventure Garden in the Hall of Fame.”

Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre was rewarded for its high rate of skin cancer detection: one melanoma a day, and also for its community awareness programs for skin cancer detection and sun protection.

Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre is the major sponsor of Frankston City Council’s Senior’s Festival this month.

Stick to fishing, not trolling

By Paul "Tracker" Pingiaro THE sensitive new age fisho. Anglers have become very conscious of social media, this is due to both a thirst for information and a driven desire to protect their right to fish.

In a world where size matters and numbers are gold, information is key.

Fishing reports, photos and shared information see anglers trawl the web in search of the upper hand for vital pieces of the puzzle.

The fishing community is aware of the groups that want sustainable recreational fishing outlawed. Anglers posting photos of fish covered in blood or catches of large legal bags are often also berated by their peers as many in the fishing community see such media as forming fuel for the fringe green groups.

Recreational fishing is a multi-billion dollar user pays industry. While it's formally policed, informally the fishing community is its toughest critic.

Put simply, those in the fishing community understand their passion is a finite resource requiring proper management. That being said, people should remember that we are a society that bases legal principals on innocence until proven guilty. Accusing people of illegal acts can be defamatory and the fishing community needs to stand as one and not behave like trolls or keyboard warriors.

The right to cast a line has become the Mornington Peninsula's favorite recreational pasttime.

Weighing in: Eric Machen with a snapper caught off Frankston.

From September until May more than 10,000 participants, on average, will drown a bait each week.

So, keep fishing, keep within the limits, keep safe and keep it civil.

From the bays – Port Phillip and Western Port - at the moment it's snapper, snapper, snapper.

The red fever has taken hold and don't expect it

to let up until late December.

So many anglers are missing the "mark" as not every fish lives in 19-21 metres of water. In fact, the really good bags have come in from 8-18.5 metres.

In Port Phillip the snapper are following a gradient, 19m in Mt Martha, 18.5m Mornington, 18m Frankston, 16m Seaford, 10-12m Rickets Point and then 6-10m at Williamstown. It's a typical snapper season, the first for a while.

In Western Port it's another typical classic season with good numbers of fish where they should be, including Eagle Rock, Lysaghts and Rhyll.

The water temperature is heating up and so is the bite.

The snapper are going well both on the change of tide and run, it's just a matter of putting the right bait in the right place at the right time.

While the red fever infects most anglers this time of year, don't forget squid, whiting, gummy shark and flathead are all on the bite as well and are equally responsive to the rise in water temperature.

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

Open garden’s book bonus CHELSEA Flower Show winner Phillip Johnson will be signing copies of his book Connected: The Sustainable Landscapes of Phillip Johnson, at Seaton Farm’s open days this weekend.

The landscape gardener’s team made history at last year’s show when their design for the Trailfinders Australian Garden, presented by Flemings, was awarded the Best in Show medal - a feat not previously achieved by an Australian team.

Seaton Farm – at 22 Turners Rd, Balnarring, is opening its gates for Open Gardens Australia 10am-4.30pm, Saturday and Sunday.

Owned by Elwyn and Andrew Duncan since 1996, the 20-hectare property has been developed in two stages. It has two hectares of natural bush and almost a hectare of buildings. There’s a garden and a new planting of 200 pinot vines.

“When we bought the farm, the 100-year-old cottage was derelict but, after renovation, it provides cosy accommodation,” Mrs Duncan said.

“We commissioned architect Ross Henry to build us a single-storey farmhouse to complement the old cottage and existing sheds, and were delighted with the result.” While the house was under construction, the couple approached Mr Johnson to build a frog pond.

Bowlers cup night HASTINGS Bowling Club in Marine Pde is holding a Calcutta night at 7pm on Monday Melbourne Cup Eve – at which those attending can ‘buy’ a horse running in Tuesday’s Cup. They can then thrill to member Peter Rogan’s ‘call’ later in the night. The cost is $5 with BYO nibbles and drinks at bar prices.

The club holds bare foot bowls nights on Wednesdays from 6pm. The cost is $7 and no equipment is needed. Experienced bowlers are on hand to help out. Those attending can use the club’s barbecue after having a roll. The licensed bar will be open during the evenings.

The club continues to grow: it now has more than 180 members.

“We have represented the peninsula over the past two years in the state pennant finals, and the clubrooms and surrounds are the envy of bowls clubs around the peninsula,” sponsorship/ fundraising manager Danny Wynd said.

“The club puts on a function every couple of months for members, and sponsors are more than welcome to come along.”

At Christmas time, the bowling club’s facilities are available to sponsors free of charge.

There is a large kitchen, seating for more than 100, full bar, outdoor barbecue area, and bare foot bowling. Members will be on hand to help out.

Application letters to use the facilities must be in before 10 November. The only restrictions are that Saturdays are unavailable, and Fridays must wrap up by 8pm.

The club holds three large tournaments each year, with sponsors welcome in full or in part.

The tournaments are: Men’s Australia Day Invitational 4s on Sunday 25 January with $1500 prize money; Ladies Classic Day Invitational 4s on Friday 20 March with $1500 prize money, and Men’s Labor Day Invitational 4s on Sunday 8 March with $300 prize money.

Next season, members will wear new club shirts for pennant play. Space on the shirts will be used for advertising over a five-year period.

The costs are $1000 for sleeve space on the shirts, and $5000 for the main advertising on the back. These figures are for five years of advertising. Around 100 members will be wearing the shirts, and playing all over the peninsula and beyond.

Valda’s journey

Then, when the house was finished, Preston Williams landscaped to the north of the house as well as the vegetable garden.

Raised planter boxes on the paved patio have proven to be and ideal place for the visually stunning xanthorrhoeas.

At the time of purchase there was no garden, apart from some venerable old trees that have provided a majestic backdrop as the garden was developed.

“The one old tree that we absolutely treasure is the enormous elm, which is now the centrepiece of our top garden and a topic of conversation for all who visit,” Mrs Duncan said.

Early on, the couple had two guiding principles: to minimise the effects of the wind without losing the more distant vistas, and to create a habitat for wildlife.

Proceeds from the garden opening will go to Peninsula Riding Develops Abilities.

SPEAKER Valda Cole OAM will talk on ‘My Journey with History’ at next week’s meeting of the Hastings-Western Port Historical Society.

Members can enjoy the talk, and a coffee, from 10.15am–noon on Thursday 6 November at Hastings Museum, corner Marine Pde and Skinner St. Ms Cole received an OAM for her contribution to local history. She is also a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and a life member of Hastings-Western Port Historical Society.

The cost is $5 per person with a small door prize on offer plus a lucky dip.

A small selection of cottage plants will be for sale.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Excitement as Melbourne Cup coming up Compiled by Melissa Hodge MR.W.J.Air, Specialist Optician Collins Street, will be visiting Mornington during November, and may be consulted at “Stella Maris”. Appointments made. *** THE “Herald” last week says Zephuron, the National winner, looks the picture of health. The chestnut has been allotted 11st 51b in the Cup steeplechase, and if present arrangements are adhered to he will meet his engagement in that event.

He is likely to be ridden by A Hawkins.

Zephuron is such a dashing jumper that it is always worth the money to see him striding over big fences. *** THIS month’s meeting of the Somerville Fruit Growers Association will be held on Monday next, when the following business will be transacted: Report of Conference by Mr F. N. Roper, fixing date of next show, and information re fruit crops. *** THE Hurdle Race at Moonee Valley, on Saturday last, was won by the top weight, Bill Brandon, by a long neck.

The winner carried 10st 10lb, and started favorite at 6 to 4 against. The Moonee Valley Cup of 750 sovereigns was won in record time by Gladys, starting at 10 to 1 against. *** ON Tuesday next the Melbourne Cup will be run, for which the judge’s placing may be somewhat as follows: St Carwyne or Uncle Sam 1, Ulva’s

PAGE 40

Isle 2, Sylvanmore 3. *** THE hot weather experienced during this week has had the effect of causing snakes to become numerous, and caution will require to be exercised to avoid treading on the possibility of snakes.

Rev. Mr Jackson despatched two already this week, in close proximity to his residence. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at. Tanti, on Monday next, when there will be a good yarding of cattle and sheep. *** A CONCERT was held in the Langwarrin Hall on Wednesday last in aid of the shelter shed for the State school.

The principal part of the programme was contributed by members of St. Paul Club, Frankston.

Cr Lloyd occupied the chair.

The following ladies and gentlemen took part; Mrs Dodd, Mrs Ellis, Misses Bowell, Williams, D Stephenson, Messrs C. E, Dodd, J. Y Twyford.

The programme was wound up by two farces, entitled “Love, the winner” and “The kiss in the dark” which were well received and heartily applauded.

The fund will benefit to the extent of £2 5s. *** THERE is a considerable difference between a musical sound and a noise.

A noise is an irregular first fast and then slow kind of thing.

Most folk are so built that they

Western Port News 28 October 2014

would very much rather have the regular movement – the measured sound.

They prefer music to a noise.

In the Methodist Church, Frankston, the singing of the choir and congregation is usually good, and a distinct help to the services, but the congregation may look for an improvement in the musical part of the services, for a new organ has been installed.

The instrument is a good one, and in the capable hands of Miss Sherlock will be heard to advantage.

This young lady was in excellent voice Sunday night last, when she delighted the congregation with the solo, “Nearer my God to Thee.”

On Sunday evening next, the Rev. R. Jackson will conduct the service, which will be of a musical character, *** THE adjourned meeting of the Frankston Athletics Club was held in the Mechanics Hall, Frankston on Friday evening last.

Present Captain Sherlock (president, in the chair), Dr Maxwell, Mess’s May, Bates, Richardson, Dalman, McComb, Walker, Williams, Young, Wilcox, Chamberlin and Benson.

Apologies were received for nonattendance from Dr Plowman, Messrs Picking, Hartland, Jolly, Oates Mosley, Ritchie, and Clements.

The resignation of Mr Utber from the committee was accepted with regret, on the motion of Mr Bates, seconded by Mr Richardson. It was unanimously resolved that the sports meeting be held as usual on New Year’s Day, on the motion of Mr Rich-

ardson, seconded by Mr Bates.

Captain Sherlock moved and Mr Dalman seconded, that Mr W. W. Young be appointed secretary to the club, in the place of Mr Benson, who had resigned owing to pressure of business, and that Mr Mark Williams’ offer to be assistant-secretary, accepted with thanks carried.

On the motion of Mr Williams, seconded by Mr Richardson, it was decided that any profits arising out of the meeting should be donated to the local Patriotic Fund. *** CR Murphy, selected Labor Candidate for Mornington, addressed a public meeting in the Frankston Hall on Tuesday, October 27th, Mr Millard in the chair.

The candidate, after some reference to the war and drought and their effect on the people’s minds, is causing considerable apathy in the coming State elections, proceeded to discuss and criticise the failure of the present Victorian Government to meet the necessity of the people in connection with closer settlement.

The Government has made a miserable failure of their efforts to settle people on the land and the Closer Settlement Board Administration was, according to the report of the subcommittee appointed by Mr Watt to inquire into the settlers’ grievances, in a hopelessly involved and chaotic condition, and stood condemned by every person in authority, even the chairman of the Board himself, who stated that an apple cart would not be run on such

lines as the Closer Settlement Board was muddling along on.

This condition of affairs in the most important department in the Public Service was certainly alarming, and when we consider the number of settlers who had failed to make a living on their holdings and had gone out of existence as factors in wealth production, it can easily be seen the amount of damage done to the State, financially and economically, as well as the severe injury done these settlers who were numbered by the hundred; practical and experienced farmers for the most part, who had been obliged to abandon their allotments after one, two or three years of struggling.

At the present time the area unoccupied on estates purchased by the Board was 50,250 acres and valued at £431,000, most of which represented abandoned allotments.

The arrears of settlers up to date to the Board amounted to £150,263. *** A MEETING was held in the Tyabb hall on Monday evening last in connection with the Tyabb annual picnic.

Cr Alden occupied the chair.

It was decided that a grand concert be held to raise funds for prizes, date of which is Friday, December 4th.

Full particulars will be advertised later.

The picnic will be held in the Tyabb Park on Wednesday, January 6th, 1915.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Insolent, arrogant, incompetent? Awesome!

By Stuart McCullough PERHAPS something was lost in translation. Or maybe Russian journalists are simply accustomed to telling people what they really think of them so long as said people are (a) not Vladimir Putin and (b) located somewhere on the other side of the earth.

There’s no doubt about it – our Prime Minister has been comprehensively slagged off. In Cyrillic script, no less.

Mr. Abbott was accused by Russian newspaper Pravda of ‘insolence, arrogance and incompetence’. It’s heady stuff. Some nations might go completely berserk in response to so energetic an attempt to disparage their leader. Not Australia. Even the most cursory glance at online comments showed many people were either falling over themselves to agree or were concerned that Pravda didn’t go quite far enough. It’s as if people assumed that news of the planned seven dollar Medicare co-payment had finally reached the Kremlin and that this was the inevitable denouncement. If we didn’t previously confuse Russia, our response to their transcontinental sledging has guaranteed their on-going befuddlement.

We’re strange in that respect. The right to give our elected officials absolute hell is dear to us. Indeed, lampooning politicians is something of a national sport – it would be unpatriotic not to. We have the absolute freedom to needle anyone in public office. We’re lucky in that regard. In Russia, however, that kind of carry on can earn you a permanent holiday in

a Siberian Gulag or the ultimate short straw of being Vladimir Putin’s horse.

(It’s a little known fact that the Russian oligarch’s favourite quadruped is a former dissident journalist dressed as a horse. Google the footage. That’s why the horse has a mullet.) Pity the folks in the Russian newspaper industry – they probably think they’ve struck a chord. How wrong they are.

Fact is, our freedom to criticize the living bejesus out of anyone we like is lost on the folks at Pravda. Maybe this experience will teach them something about us.

However, the lessons arising from this fiasco are not confined to the Northern hemisphere. To anyone who heard Pravda’s slurs and thought about grabbing the nearest virtual pitchfork

and joining in, dig a little deeper. Not content with merely giving Mr. Abbott a whack, Pravda went further. Much further. In fact, the same editorial went on to accuse all of us of having a ‘colonial chip’ on our collective shoulder.

Fair enough, I suppose. It also referred to NATO as a terrorist organization. So far, so weird. Even if that outlandish claim garnered only a general shrug of the shoulders, it was then that Pravda really went for broke. According to Russia’s leading daily newspaper and premier greyhound racing form guide, we like to ‘crawl up the anatomy’ of our American friends. That is, if we aren’t already too busy sucking up to our colonial masters in England. That, dear Pravda, is a bridge too far. In fact, the words of a former PM spring to mind: fair suck of the sauce bottle.

Now it’s clear to me. They’re not just having a crack at our Prime Minister.

They’re having a red hot go at all of us. Suddenly a shirt front doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Sure, there’s an awkward touch of, ‘You. Me. Carpark.

Now’ about it. But sometimes you’ve got to make a point. So while Tony Abbott is sizing up his Russian counterpart, I’d like to say a few things to Pravda.

First of all, no one should attack our elected officials except us. It’s one thing for those of us who live here to tip a bucket on our Prime Minister, but it’s an egregious violation of our sovereign right to sink the slipper when foreign newspapers start to get in on the act. In fact, it’s a blatant attempt to cut our national lunch and I, for one,

won’t stand for it. If I want to refer to Mr. Abbott as a coconut husk with a pair of ears tied on, it’s my right as an Australian to do so. Pravda, on the other hand, should back off.

It’s also worth remembering how this thing got started. In an interview with ABC, the Prime Minister dared suggest that Russia should co-operate with the MH17 investigation. There are plenty of times when our officials cause us to be embarrassed. It’s part of the job description. But not this time.

This time he was, as it happens, speaking for all of us.

We have another great tradition.

Whenever someone calls us names, we adopt those insults and wear them as badges of honour. We should proudly claim Pravda’s slings and arrows as our own. So yes, we’re insolent. Yes, we’re arrogant. And YES, we’re incompetent (although you try assembling a flat-pack bookcase with nothing but pictures for instructions and an ‘Allan key’ as see how you get on).

Maybe I’m upset over nothing. After all, it’s Pravda. I can always cancel my subscription. If we’d been attacked by the Australian Women’s Weekly or even Best Bets, that would be a worry.

But Pravda? I don’t think so. According to the Internet, which is always right about these things, Pravda is the mouthpiece of Vladimir Putin. I, for one, am relieved. Now that his mouthpiece has been located, it can’t be too long before they find his shirt. Here’s hoping. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

With the Spring Racing Carnival now in full swing, thousands of racegoers will converge upon Mornington Racecourse to attend Sportingbet Peninsula Cup Day. Sportingbet Peninsula Cup Day features the $80,000 Peninsula Cup raced over 1600m and attracts around 12,000 stylish spectators, to experience the very best regional fashion, hospitality and racing.

Off the track, a highlight of the day will be the exclusive Bayside Shopping Centre Fashions on the Field competition hosted by female jockey Casey Bruce who will be joined by Caitrin O’Rouke, the 2014 Face of Mornington Racing Club for a Q&A on the stage. A keen milliner and equestrian, Caitrin is an Irish beauty who was appointed to the coveted role due to her keen eye for racing fashion, outgoing personality and extreme passion for horseracing.

With a $40,000 prize pool to be won the competition has newly revised their Fashion Duo’s category broadening it from couples to any two people – be it father and son, mother and daughter or any other combination of individuals of any age.

Also returning to the stage are the coveted categories of Stylish Ladies 18-40, Stylish Ladies 40+ and Stylish Gentlemen. Overseen by a panel of fashion, media and celebrity identities, participants will be encouraged to showcase the very best in elegant spring racing style and millinery as they are judged on their overall outfit, accessories and attention to detail.

The day has a range of free activities to suit the entire family including a face painting and a jumping castle to entertain racing’s littlest fans. What’s more, there will be array of dining options on offer, enabling racegoers to enjoy the day in style and sophistication.

Mounties’ bowlers need to shine PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MT ELIZA’s bowlers will be hoping to be at the peak of their powers when they take to the field against Sorrento this Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket.

After winning the toss and batting at David McFarlin Reserve on Saturday, the Mounties batted first and racked up 9/228 in their 80 overs.

Ben Tracy made it two half centuries on the trot for the visitors with 70 runs while Luke Marshall batted higher up the order and contributed 40.

Tristan Faithfull scored 30 before he became Nick Davern’s one and only victim and again, Jason Mathers was left with his wicket intact, having scored 44.

AJ King was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers, taking his second six-wicket haul in as many weeks.

Whilst it wasn’t as good as his 6/28 against Rye in the last game, 6/53 from 25 overs was still a magnificent performance.

Likewise at Lloyd Park, Mornington’s bowlers will need to produce something pretty special to restrict home team Langwarrin.

However, despite making just 9/158 from its 80 overs, the Doggies are still in the box seat to win this match.

Last season on two separate occasions, Mornington ripped through Langwarrin’s batting line-up.

However, on Saturday, it was the Kangas’ bowlers who were in control.

The spin twins of Dwayne Doig (2/55) and Jake D’Artri (1/35)

bowled 50 overs between them and went for just 90 runs. Adrian Mack was also dominant, bowling 13 overs and finishing with 0/12.

Brad McDonald was the best of the Mornington batsmen with 55, while Ben Clements made 32.

Long Island is just 15 runs shy of winning its match against Moorooduc.

The Ducs batted first on Saturday but were overwhelmed by the Islanders’ bowling attack.

Bobby Wilson was the only batsman to get going for Moorooduc, scoring 36.

Simon Dignan (2/10), Mike Reynolds (2/18), Scott Phillips (2/28) and Andrew Tweddle (2/36) were all on song for the Islanders.

In reply, the home side was 4/89 at

stumps, Peter Connell the top scorer with 27.

Ross Cordeux and Bobby Wilson had each claimed two wickets for the Ducs.

Crib Point has set Pines 204 for victory in their match at Crib Point Reserve.

Brad Davidson top scored for the Magpies with 70 while Jack Johnson finished unbeaten on 35 and Henry Dolphins scored 30 at the top of the order.

Piners’ coach Ricky Ramsdale was the best of the bowlers with 5/60, while Sam Noden claimed 3/47 in his first senior game for the season.

Peninsula Old Boys are in a commanding position in their match against Baxter after scoring 9/228.

New skipper Matt Hyden was again

dominant for the Old Boys with 96, while Wade Pelzer scored 29.

In the final game, Rye looks set to win its first match of the season against Heatherhill.

The Demons batted first at Bruce Park on Saturday and scored an impressive 262.

Andrew Hitchener top scored for the Demons with 54, James Crowe opened with 33 and Tommy Baron scored 32 batting at eight.

Brad Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 3/69 while Brett Maxwell claimed 2/62. Jake Theobald and Steven O’Donnell each picked-up two wickets.

In reply, the Hills are in some early trouble at 1/1.

Blues in box seat against Carrum DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS is in the box seat to win its first game of the season in District cricket.

Up against Carrum at Roy Dore Reserve, the Blues won the toss and skipper Timmy Birch had little hesitation in batting first.

He needed at least one of his openers to score runs and Daniel Esler obliged, scoring 47, while Aaron Wilson played a very important role at three, making 31.

Luke Hewitt and Birch have been the backbone of this side for a couple of seasons and they proved to be shining lights again.

Hewitt scored 48 and Birch was still there at the end of the innings with an unbeaten 78, having hit 12 fours and a six.

Brent McGill played a handy cameo role at the end of the innings, smashing a quick fire 31, which included two fours and two sixes.

Liam Dobson was the pick of the Lions’ bowlers with 5/96 from 28 overs. Jackson Fry bowled just eight overs.

Baden Powell is up against it in its match against Flinders.

Winning the toss and batting first on their home deck, the Braves were bowled out for just 128.

In a wonderful display of bowling, Matthew Burns bowled 26 overs, bowled nine maidens and finished with the extraordinary figures of 9/45.

The only batsman Burns was unable to get out was Julian Pharaoh, who top scored for the Braves with 45.

Max Royal upset Burns’ perfect day by claiming the wicket of Pharaoh, getting him caught behind.

In reply, Tim Clarke is already back in the sheds for the Sharks after being run out. Flinders will resume on 1/8.

Red Hill’s bowlers have plenty of work to do if they are to get the points against Delacombe Park.

However, despite an unbeaten 106 from skipper Simon Dart, 192 doesn’t look enough against the Devils at the small Delacombe ground.

Andrew Brown was the next highest scorer for the Hillmen, who

didn’t have any answers for the Devils’ Chris Brittain and Shane Deal.

The home side skipper claimed 5/36 while Deal picked-up 3/39.

Boneo is in all sorts of trouble yet again, this time against Seaford Tigers.

Batting first, the Pandas scored just 9/145 in their 80 overs. Damian Smith came to the crease with the score at 5/81. The Pandas went from 3/80 to 6/81 in a blink of an eye.

Smith faced 121 balls for his 35. Glen Petersen opened the batting and made 26 from 103 balls.

Tom Burgdorf was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers with 4/36, while David James helped himself to 3/19.

Mt Martha has set Seaford 201 for victory after scoring 9/200in their 80 overs at Seaford Reserve.

The Reds got some great service from Alex Mason at the top of the order, scoring 37 and Brett Wilkinson strolled to the crease with his side in some trouble at 5/83. He scored 51 and with the support of Brad Schreuder (34), they were able to push the score to a competitive total.

Faisal Payenda was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/75 while Mathew Herbert claimed 3/19 from 17 overs.

In the final match, Somerville is in a very commanding position against Main Ridge.

The Eagles batted first on their home deck and scored 9/251with Leigh Lowry getting amongst the runs with 57 and all-rounder Aaron Kaddatz also getting 51.

James Abbott bowled 20 overs for the Cougars and finished with figures of 3/41, including seven maidens.

Lachlan Hay and Jason Albress each picked up two wickets.

Frogs’ bats hop to it SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK has set Balnarring a massive challenge in round three of MPCA Sub District cricket.

The Frogs batted first on Saturday on their home deck and scored 9/255 in their 80 overs, setting the Saints a massive run chase to claim victory.

The home side didn’t start well, losing both openers before the score had reached double figures.

However, Matt Whelan and Ralston Keyt were bought together at the crease and shared a 70-run partnership before Whelan went for 35. Keyt went on to top score with 75.

Skipper Gerard Clarke contributed 29 and Rob French 26 in the middle order while the tail had some wag, pushing the total beyond 250.

Jacob Cook was the best of the Saints’ bowlers with 3/69 from 20 overs while Justin Brown bowled 32 overs and finished with figures of 3/101.

Frankston YCW is on the verge of victory against Skye but one can’t help but think that there is still plenty of cricket left in this match.

On day one of the clash at Peninsula Reserve, 15 wickets fell for the afternoon.

Skye was bowled out for 71 after Paul Bradley (3/6), Andrew Kitson (3/15) and Adam Murihead (3/28) all claimed wickets.

The Burras’ skipper Rob Gruar was the only batsman to make an impression with 26.

In reply, the Stonecats are 5/98,

Luke Hutchison the saviour with an unbeaten 51.

Rosebud bowlers will need to be at their best to defend the 161 against Pearcedale.

The evergreen Brad Glenn top scored for the Buds with 52 while Kane Donald was next best with 26.

The Dales’ bowlers were in control, Shayne Gillings the pick of them with 4/44, while Chris Dew and Kaine Smith claimed two wickets each.

Dromana scored 168 against Carrum Downs but their opponents look to be in the best position to win.

Greg McCann top scored for the Hoppers with 45 while coach Mark Whitehead scored 27 and Jedd Savage 26.

Shane Walford made it eight wickets for the season for the Cougars with 4/35 from 17 overs. Stuart Swift and Ryan Lynch each picked-up two wickets.

In reply, the Cougars are in some early trouble at 2/29.

Ballam Park will be looking for two wins on the trot when it defends 176 against Tyabb.

Zac Pedderson top scored for the Kinights with 40 on Saturday while Jon Plakourakis scored 39.

For the Yabbies, the best of the bowlers were Brodie Bennett, who claimed 4/39 and James Mathieson, who picked up 3/40.

In reply, the Knights had six overs at the opposition and had them 1/8 at the close of play.

Knights’ skipper Ryan O’Connor has overnight figures of 1/1 from three overs.

Casey pulls the pin, league in crisis FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt THE PCN Sports Alliance, which governs local football on the Mornington Peninsula, is in damage control after the Casey Cardinia Football Netball League sought to withdraw from their management.

The nine CCFNL clubs, Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Hampton Park, Narre Warren, Pakenham, ROC and Tooradin, are waiting on an invitation to a special meeting where they will seek exemption from Rule 14.1, which states 12 months’ notice must be given of the club’s intention to resign from the league.

The clubs have raised points against PCNSA which include poor

communication, a lack of trust, exorbitant fees, poor strategic direction and a general lack of service and attention.

AFL Victoria Country’s have attempted to play mediator between the two parties, however, the CCFNL Clubs are sticking firm.

The CCFNL clubs have sent a list of their grievances to both AFL Vic Country and PCNSA, with AFL Vic Country Football Manager Brett Connell and AFL South East Region General Manager Jeremy Bourke meeting last week with PCNSA Chairman Stuart Gilchrist and CEO Jeff Jones to discuss the club’s issues.

Regardless of the talks, the clubs want nothing to do with PCNSA in 2015 as they look to break free and

govern their own competition.

It is believed that AFL Vic Country’s intervention has come about after PCNSA raised concerns that the departure of the CCFNL clubs would have a serious impact on its operations going forward.

Both Peninsula and Nepean League clubs expressed enormous concerns this season about the management and promotion of the league.

Salary cap and Player Points IN further news, a salary cap and player points system for country and metropolitan football will be implemented across Victoria in 2016.

AFL Victoria announced last Wednesday that it would trial a

Western Port

points system throughout Victoria next year, before implementing it for the 2016 season.

The 32 clubs under the management of the PCN Sports Alliance were asked to respond to the proposal mid-year through the league offices but only two clubs responded.

AFL Victoria will announce before Christmas where the trials will take place.

AFL Victoria general manager Steven Reaper said the input from different football regions would be crucial before final guidelines would be announced.

As part of the survey that was filled out by 369 clubs across Victoria, 83 per cent believed whatever changes were made needed

to be implemented statewide.

Around half of the clubs surveyed pushed for a statewide salary cap, although AFL Victoria said most of those not pushing for the cap were not opposed to it; rather they remained unsure.

“The working party agrees that any salary cap mechanism needs to be tailored for specific regions to incorporate demographic and geographical challenges faced by individual leagues across the state,” Reaper said.

“It also understands a salary cap needs to be supported by other measures, such as a player points system or an alternative equalisation provision, to have the desired impact on escalating player payments, and must also be enforceable.”

Isuzu teams take class wins at 2014 Safari FIVE out of five is a good score in any game, but particularly when it means the whole team has crossed the finish line after the gruelling 2014 Australasian Safari cross-country rally.

Sydney-based Isuzu Motorsports has taken out three class wins in the seven-day event which covered more than 3000km of the Western Australian outback.

WA’s Adrian Di Lallo and co-driver Rodger ‘Roj’ Pedersen were the best placed of the three official Isuzu Motorsports entries, their production-class Isuzu MU-X wagon in fifth outright and first in class in their home state event.

‘Roj’ Pedersen said the final day of the event was the toughest stage of the week.

“Two kilometres into the stage it was pouring with rain and muddy. Bucketing down and really hard going. We brushed a tree and got lost – so did most others actually – and we lost a lot of time trying to find the right way, but we made it.

“I feel really good now, you know, tired, but it’s a great feeling to finish Safari. Sitting next to Adrian, and the whole experience, it’s been awesome.”

Thailand’s Olan Sornsirirat and Veerachai Thorangkoon – the third team in the official ‘Isuzu trio’ – were second in class behind Di Lallo and Pedersen, and seventh outright in their D-MAX ute.

Team leaders Bruce Garland and Harry Suzuki came in 17th and took a class win, despite missing two full days repairing their Dakar-spec Isuzu D-MAX (and being handed extra time penalties for failing to finish those days). Their car was halted by an electrical fault 37km into Day Three while running in fourth place.

Aside from the strong results posted by the official Isuzu Motorsports entrants, the two other Isuzu

crews being helped by the Garland/Suzuki team have also come home well.

The Thai-entered D-MAX crewed by Vorapot Bunchuaylua and Chupong Chaiwan came home in sixth and first in class, while the Isuzu MU-X being campaigned by Safari stalwart Reg Owen and codriver Russell Cairns finished second in the same class and 13th outright.

“We’ve ended up with a really great result with the team, and all the cars went really well – it’s just a fantastic feeling,” said Garland.

“Today was unbelievable with the rain bucketing down. A whole lot of us got lost and then Steve Riley [who had been leading the event] got stuck in a ditch and a bunch of us helped pull him out. We got soaking wet and covered in mud, but we still had a good time. That’s what Safari is all about.

“All of the Isuzu Motorsports vehicles were better off than so many of the others. They were all slipping and sliding all over the place today, or getting punctures all the time in the rough stuff, but our Toyo tyres do the job for us, no matter whether it’s wet or dry.”

Competitors tackled three stages on the final day, taking them from Exmouth – the gateway to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area – to Carnarvon, where the Gascoyne River meets the Indian Ocean, around 900km north of the West Australian capital of Perth.

The final stage – the 156.69km ‘Murchison Mega Finale’, and a lengthy transport stage before it – took competitors from Carnarvon to Kalbarri, where the Murchison River meets the Indian Ocean, 592km north of Perth. The celebrations – after seven days and more than 3000km of endurance racing – continued well into the night.

Genesis the start of something big for Hyundai GENESIS, Hyundai’s new flagship luxury sedan, has achieved the highest score in the 21year history of ANCAP testing – 36.88 points out of a possible 37 and a maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating.

A 5 star safety rating is ANCAP’s ultimate measure of vehicle safety protection for occupants and pedestrians. The demanding assessment includes a 64km/h frontal offset test and a 50km/h side impact test, along with a 29km/h pole test, a whiplash test simulating a 32km/h rear-end crash, and a 40km/h pedestrian impact protection test. A minimum number of active safety assist technologies (SATs) is also required.

The Genesis’ tally of 36.88 points includes a frontal offset score of 15.88 out of 16 and a side impact protection score of 16 out of 16. Genesis also scored 2 out of 2 in the pole test and a whiplash protection test rating of ‘good’.

Structural integrity and strength has been a key priority of Hyundai Motor Company’s engineering teams since development of the new ‘DH’ model Genesis sedan began six years ago.

The vehicle uses advanced high-strength steel throughout its body structure, and has been designed from the outset to pass the world’s most demanding crash tests.

The Genesis will be launched in Australia next month.
