Student disciplined for offensive list

Brodie Cowburn

A STUDENT at McClelland College has been disciplined after a misogynistic list was allegedly found on their computer.

The list has been referred to the police for investigation. McClelland College acting principal Laura Spence said

that the school will look into how it was created. “We have already taken disciplinary action and will consider any further steps when the full facts of this incident have been established,” she said.

“The safety and wellbeing of our students is an absolute top priority for us, and we are supporting the students impacted by this behaviour. I am very grateful to the students who immediately brought the matter to my attention.”

Victoria Police has confirmed that it has been notified of the list, and will work with the school to investigate.

“Police are aware of reports of an offensive list involving students from a secondary school in Frankston. Police have engaged with the school to assess the information, but at this stage no criminal offending has been detected,” a Victoria Police statement read. “There have been no formal complaints to police.”

The list reportedly ranked female students. The Department of Education does not believe the list was distributed outside of the individual student’s computer.

A Department of Education statement read that “misogynistic and disrespectful behaviour is entirely unacceptable in any Victorian school - and the school has rightly taken swift action.”

“More than 1,950 Victorian govern-

ment, Catholic and independent schools are signed up the respectful relationships initiative - supporting them to embed respect and gender equality across their entire school community and stamp out these vile attitudes to women. We all have a responsibility to teach students respect - and we’ll continue to invest in programs that promote gender equality to embed those attitudes.”

Legal threat over vegetation removal

LEGAL action is being considered after vegetation was cleared from Green Wedge land in Langwarrin without council permission.

Frankston Council alleges that vegetation has been illegally removed from 565 McClelland Drive.

The site, next to Peninsula Private Hospital, is designated inside the Green Wedge in Frankston Council’s 2019 Green Wedge Management Plan.

At last week’s public council meeting, Frankston Council CEO Phil Cantillion said that council is aware of vegetation removal and is

considering its next steps. He said it is the responsibility of landowners to “ensure that they have the appropriate permissions in place before undertaking works to their property.

In this case the vegetation was removed without a planning permit.”

“Council does not tolerate works being carried out without a planning permit. There are a number of enforcement actions available to council including through VCAT and the Magistrates’ Court, and council will consider which actions are appropriate once it concludes its investigations - which could include remedies

for lost habitat.”

The land was sold in April 2023 for $600,000. Cantillon did not name the owner last week - The Times understands that the owner is an individual from Mount Waverley. Vegetation removal at the site has been taken to the courts in the past. Hasstta Holdings purchased the property for $550,000 in 2006, and was convicted at the Frankston Magistrates Court in 2009 for removing native vegetation at the site without a permit (“Protest hinders wedge land sale” The Times 6/8/2014).

Energy rebate in federal budget

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

A $300 REBATE on energy bills and tax cuts are the centrepieces of the federal government’s 2024/2025 budget.

The federal government handed down its budget on 14 May. The budget included a $300 energy rebate, which is set to take effect from 1 July.

The rebate will be applied to power bills quarterly.

The budget also cemented the federal government’s changes to stage three tax cuts. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said “our new tax cuts for middle Australia are the biggest part of the cost of living relief in this budget.”

“From 1 July, all 13.6 million taxpayers will get a tax cut. And for 84 per cent of taxpayers, and 90 per cent of women, a bigger tax cut than they would have under the previous government. This is about rewarding the hard work of our nurses and teachers, truckies and tradies - and the 2.9 million people earning $45,000 or less who would have received nothing. The average benefit is $1888 a year - that’s $36 a week.”

Chalmers also said the federal government would freeze the

maximum cost of PBS prescriptions and spend $3.4 billion to add more medicines to the scheme. It has also capped indexation of student loans to the lowest of the consumer price index or the wage price index. $1.9 billion will be spent to increase the maximum rate of Commonwealth Rent Assistance by 10 per cent.

Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea said that the federal government “knows that people in Dunkley are doing it tough and this budget delivers additional help.”

“We are backing more good jobs and fair wages in Dunkley by investing in the energy and skills for a future in Australia,” she said.

The budget did not contain any more money for the state government’s planned suburban rail loop. The federal government has committed $2.2 billion towards SRL East, which is projected to cost upwards of $30 billion.

Victorian shadow transport infrastructure minister David Southwick said that the state government should put the rail loop on hold.

“This is a project our state cannot afford. The Allan Labor government must pause SRL East and not enter any further contracts. The Liberals and Nationals reserve our right not to proceed any further with the SRL if elected to government in 2026,” he said.

THIS unassuming little house has been achieving big things and supporting people from various walks of life since the early 70’s. In line with this year’s theme for Volunteers week, OSCH has something for everyone!

Volunteers have been key to the organisation’s success since the beginning. A diverse mix of motivated community members, the house volunteers frequently go above and beyond to manage the organisation, deliver events and are keen to share their skills with their neighbours, facilitating groups and activities weekly.

Mary, who also works for VALID, a Peer Advocacy Service for people with a disability, based at the house, has been helping in reception for almost 12 months. “For me working in the office has given me the opportunity to build my confidence, to really be myself and I enjoy helping out,” Mary said. John started volunteering during COVID when the house needed someone to help teach women various home maintenance skills as part of the Women’s Shed Workshops. John said, “It’s such a privilege to be able to teach women new skills and have them then be able to pass those skills onto other women, the group is now such a tight nit group they support each other.”

Val the President and Gwen the Treasurer have been long serving members of the Committee of Management (COM) at OSCH, joining as volunteers almost 20 years ago, both women accessed programs at the house before becoming volunteers.

Benjamin, one of the newer members of the COM is a local business owner who is passionate about supporting OSCH. Ben believes,"…everyone has a skill set that can support their community and should consider getting involved in some form of volunteering".

“Volunteers are such an important part of OSCH, and the broader community services sector. They are integral to what the organisation is able to provide in the community,” said Karen Vanderkaay, House Manager. “Volunteers are our community assets, and if we look, we can discover a treasure trove of skills and amazing individuals that are just around the corner, literally our neighbours and they are so ready and willing to get involved.” If you’d like to share your skills and expertise, or learn some new skills as a Volunteer with OSCH, please call Karen on 9783 5073.

Volunteering with Peninsula Health

VOLUNTEERs and consumer advisors are at the centre of everything we do by providing valuable support to staff, patients, families, and carers across Peninsula Health services. During this National Volunteer Week, we are shining a spotlight on two remarkable individuals and their significant contributions.

For the past 15 years, Gay, as an Assistance and Care in Emergency Volunteer, has dedicated every second Friday to enhancing the comfort and care of patients and families in the Emergency Department at Frankston Hospital.

Gay’s collaboration also extends to a voluntary Consumer Advisor role, bringing the consumer perspective into service planning, delivery and evaluation. Her various Consumer Advisor roles have included the Palliative Care Quality Committee and the Women’s Community Advisory Group, as well as other projects.

“As a Consumer Advisor, my role is to provide advice, attend workshops, and review new frameworks that may be implemented into the health service,” explains Gay. “I just think it’s wonderful; there are so many different ways you can volunteer across Peninsula Health; there’s a role for everyone.”

Similarly, Kris also has both a volunteer and consumer advisor role. She commenced only 12 months ago as a Patient Companion at the Golf Links Road Rehabilitation Centre. Kris has found her purpose spending time with patients, being a friendly face and providing company during times of loneliness and isolation.

“It’s such a rewarding role; it makes you feel less insulated in yourself because you’re helping other people. It’s even had a positive impact on my own mental health,” explains Kris. In addition, Kris enjoys volunteering her time as a Consumer Advisor on the Western Port Community Advisory Group.

Interested in joining us as a Volunteer or Consumer Advisor? Head to our website at https://www.peninsulahealth.org.au/get-

Plan to reduce family violence

MORE ratepayer money will be dedicated towards stopping family violence in Frankston.

Last week, Frankston Council approved its family violence prevention action plan. The document outlines council’s plans to address family violence, including training sessions for council staff and investment into more spaces for women.

The document states that council should plan annual events highlighting family violence issues, organise training for council staff, develop programs for sporting organisations and new fathers, invest into female-friendly sporting facilities, and increase collaboration with external organisations on family violence prevention initiatives.

An overview of the plan prepared by council officers read that the extra money spent on family violence prevention can fit into its existing budgets. “There are financial costs, however, these costs can be accommodated within existing budgets,” council officers wrote.

The plan features a message from Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy, who said “council is committed to preventing family violence because of the devastating impacts it has on individuals, businesses, and all our communities.”

“Our plan sets out our vision for co-ordinated approaches that begin with strong leadership, create partnerships

and collaboration, and amplifies our messages that violence is not tolerated,” he said. “These approaches are the foundations of a safe and secure community for all Frankston residents, but to do this we need to address the underlying causes of family violenceone of which is gender inequality.

“This action plan has been developed following consultation with the community and key stakeholders who include community organisations and local service providers. (...) The first phase of the plan will focus on building the foundations for partnerships with our communities, connecting and developing partnerships across the municipality to build towards our vision of a safe and secure city for all our residents.”

Figures from the Crime Statistics Agency show that family incidents in the Frankston municipality rose by 17.1 percent in 2023. There were 2940 family incidents recorded in the Frankston LGA in 2023, up from 2511 in 2022. The recorded family incident rate per 100,000 people was its highest in at least five years.

Women were recorded as the affected parties in family incidents in Frankston almost three times more than men were in 2023. Victoria Police says it has dedicated more resources to making family violence arrests. (“Family violence offender targeted” The Times 23/4/24)

Exceptional care in the heart of Mount Eliza

JOHN Matthies and his family have been designing award- winning, luxury boutique residential accommodation for people requiring aged care for more than 60 years and are among Victoria’s longest-serving providers.

John is no stranger to providing care for people. His mother was a registered nurse, and back in the ‘60s they often had people who needed care stay in their family home. Her passion was ensuring that each resident received exceptional care, and she passed that commitment on to her children.

The values John inherited from his mother remain around the residents’ care. Treat people how you like to be treated, and he carries this principle with him today in every aspect of being a leading aged care service provider.

John and the Australian Aged Care Group Pty Ltd’s vision is to give the community a premium, hotel-style aged care residence, together with superior care. AACG’s facilities give people high-quality, state-of-the-art accommodation they would love to reside in at the heart of the community they currently live in, making it easier for family and friends to visit regularly.

These premium facilities are designed for people who are more accustomed to high-end comfort and can spend their golden years enjoying these comforts without sacrificing their lifestyle. These are all things John looks forward to enjoying himself one day.

Considering the Matthies’ impressive family history, the company’s motto ‘Exceptional Care Built on Solid Foundations’ is evidenced by its continued success, with Mt Eliza Gardens Aged Care now open for tours and admissions. For more information, call 8001 8000.

Concerts in the classroom ‘exciting’

STUDENTS at a Karingal school attended a concert as part of their English studies last week.

Touring band Rudely Interrupted came to McClelland College last week to perform for English students. Each member of the unique rock band lives with a disability - they have been performing for 16 years, and have toured 11 countries. They have also been invited to play for the United Nations.

McClelland College English teacher

Katie Duncan organised the event. She said the concert is a “great opportunity to take what we learn in the Year 8 English classroom and apply it to the real world. Students can experience firsthand the power of song lyrics and how it can impact an audience”.

The concert was held on 17 May. Duncan said “seeing students engage in their learning in a non-traditional way is always an exciting opportunity as a teacher. Bringing out Rudely Interrupted - a band where all members have a disabilityshows our students not only the power of music, but the power in breaking through barriers.”

Centre for after school and respite care

AFTER recent refurbishment, Nepean Centre is again open to provide short-term accommodation for children with disabilities. They have also initiated an After School Program to cater for working parents who need quality after-school care for their children.

The centre has provided short-term respite care for children with disabilities for 36 years. However, the history of the organisation goes back a lot further. In 1964, Mt Eliza Day School Committee was founded by volunteer parents of children living with disabilities. During the 1980s the Committee lobbied to establish the Nepean School in Klauer Street Seaford. Robert Hawke and socialite and fundraiser, Lady Ansett, assisted the Committee to establish what is now known as the Nepean

Centre, located at 26 Admans Ave, Seaford VIC. This 5-bedroom respite facility opened in 1988.

Nepean Centre’s Mission is to consistently provide tailored and personalised support to every one of their clients, allowing families and carers to rest and recuperate, and to ensure they can assist their loved ones to enter independent living arrangements as they become adults.

Nepean Centre also provides quality After School Programs.

Nepean Centre will be attending the Mornington Peninsula Disability Expo on 22nd June at the Peninsula Community Theatre, and the Source Kids Expo 5-6th July at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Nepean Centre provides quality care in a fully accessible five-bed residence. We provide short stays for children and young people (4-17yrs) with high support needs.

Nepean Centre is a safe and supported space where there is an opportunity to identify and work towards individual goals, including:

Office construction underway

CONSTRUCTION work is well underway on a five-storey office building at 383 Nepean Highway in Frankston.

An event to mark the completion of the frame was held on 17 May. The finished project is expected to cost around $60 million.

The building is being constructed on the former home of the International Motel. When it was approved by coun-

cil in 2022 it was expected to house the Department of Justice and Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (“Huge office building proposed” The Times 1/8/2022).

Castlerock is the developer behind the project. Its managing director Adam Bronts said in 2022 that “the building will feature above best practice sustainability – the greenest in the

Frankston CBD, a responsive gateway design to the city centre, and connectivity to the surrounding urban realm that will promote social engagement within the community. We look forward to working with the council to help achieve their 2040 vision of being a place on the bay to learn, live, work and play in a vibrant, safe, and culturally inclusive community.”

Tree poisoned

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

AN 80-year-old banksia tree in Mentone is among a spate of trees which have been illegally destroyed in the last six months.

Kingston Council says it is investigating multiple illegal tree destructions which have occurred in the municipality. It says that since November dozens of newly planted trees in Clayton South and Oakleigh South have been ripped out, an 80-year-old banksia tree in Mentone has been poisoned, and a saw was used to vandalise a mature tree on MacGregor Street in Parkdale.

The Mentone banksia tree was declared dead in December. Council will soon remove the tree and plant a new one to replace it.

In a statement, council said it is investigating to find those responsible. “The City of Kingston joins with the community in expressing anger at a spate of recent tree vandalism incidents across our city,” council’s statement read.

“The recent deliberate poisoning of one of the largest banksia trees in Kingston was extremely frustrating and disappointing. The nature strip tree on Warrigal Road in Mentone is estimated to be more than 80 years old and was valued at $144,000 in 2022. The tree died in December and the smaller branches have now been removed to manage safety concerns.

The remaining parts of the tree have been retained as habitat for the time

being, and tree poisoning signage is now in place to provide education about the protection of our trees. At the conclusion of this period, the dead tree will be removed, and a new tree planted.

“Investigations into all these matters are ongoing and anyone who witnesses or suspects vandalism of our trees is urged to make a report to council”.

To contact Kingston Council call 1300 653 356 or email info@kingston.vic.gov.au.

Tom Gleeson returns to host season two of this off-the-wall game show, ready to berate and possibly even congratulate the new contestants’ creative comedic endeavours.

After working together for more than a decade, the writers of this long-running procedural most likely grew tired of the will-they-or-won’t-they tension between Nikki (Emilia Fox, pictured) and Jack (David Caves) and resolved to be done with it and let them fall in love. Twenty-six seasons in, the characters and script don’t hum with the vigour and believability that was once trademark but, for some, the fact the characters are still alive and kicking is enough.

Public golf course is there for all to use

I am writing to correct and give some perspective to a recent front page headline and, in particular, the subsequent comments from Cr David Gill stating that Mornington Peninsula Shire was effectively subsidising $9000 to each member of the Mount Martha Golf Club (MMGC) (Market call to end golf losses, The News 7/5/24 and Questions over golf ‘shire subsidy’ claim, 14/5/24).

Mount Martha Public Golf Course (MMPGC) exists to make the game of golf accessible to all members of the community. Historically, much of the land was donated for this use and for many years members worked voluntarily, with council, to create this wonderful asset.

This comes at some cost to the shire, which is exactly the same as all other sporting facilities such as football, netball and swimming centres.

MMGC does not run at a loss. It has been operating efficiently and within budget since its inception (1980).

All golf club members pay the same fees for playing golf as any member of the public.

MMGC fees contribute significantly to the revenue of the facility.

Cr Gill’s implication that ratepayers are subsidising a privileged group who could easily go and play elsewhere, is incorrect. MMGC is one of many local groups who use the facility.

The reality is that most of the 17 courses on the peninsula are not easily accessible to the general public due to eligibility criteria, physical limitations of players or cost.

MMPGC provides a special and unique location for all community members and visitors to the shire. It is accessed by various groups and individuals (not just for golf) who appreciate its beauty and value.

MMGC is committed to the continuation and further development of the MMPGC facility. MMGC fully supports the shire and its current approach through the EOI process.

Malcolm Goldsworthy, acting president Mount Martha Golf Club

Public v private

Would someone please explain to Cr David Gill the difference between a public golf course and a private golf Course? He seems confused (Market call to end golf losses, The News 7/5/24).

I would think that a responsible officer from the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council would brief the councillors before a meeting as such was held on 29 April.

This ongoing discussion points to a spectacular fail.

On figures taken from the @Leisure report of 2020, we know that the members of the Mount Martha Golf Club only take up less than 40 per cent of the utilised slots on the Mount Martha Public Golf Course.

The other slots are used by members of the public. This can include clubs such as U3A and random private social groups that exist within the community.

Cr Gill has now made two statements that I believe can only cloud the issue and mislead public opinion.

The council is responsible for many fields of play, including football, soccer and netball. Rarely do we see published figures for the costs of maintenance versus revenue of these places. Perhaps we should.

Martin Thraves, Mount Martha

Open for business

The general store in Capel Sound is always open. In your article discussing the plans to establish the Capel Sound shopping precinct as a new “vibrant coastal destination” to serve the southern peninsula I was quoted as saying the general store and gelato shop had closed down. This was a misunderstanding (Voices raised in call to ‘improve’ Capel Sound, The News 14/5/24).

Anthony and Duong have owned the general store for seven years and keep it every day from 7am till 7pm. It’s probably the most opened shop on the Mornington Peninsula.

The gelato shop at The Yard is a booming seasonal business. Frank and his family provide a “must visit” place for thousands of families in need of a special treat during “play season” on the Mornington Peninsula.

There’s plenty of action in our shopping village.

Terry Wright, Capel Sound Community Group

Refuges ignored

Having worked in a women’s refuge, I experienced first-hand the critical importance of a place of safety and support for women and children fleeing violence. Why has the federal budget, although acknowledging the need to subsidise transition out of shelters, not allocated funding levels which would allow these frontline services to provide adequate support?

Despite all the lip service paid to addressing the wave of gender-based violence across the country, frontline support services are still having to turn traumatised and often very isolated women and children away from the help they desperately need!

Maureen Donelly, Mornington

Rail loop on track

The suburban rail loop has had much media focus, particularly the cost and that the rail line goes to nowhere.

But of course, this is not so, it goes from Box Hill to Cheltenham.

The problem is that the media and columnists are old fashioned in their centralised economy of “all trains lines should go to the Melbourne CBD”.

The policy of cutting across Melbourne suburbs is not a new policy, but the [Jacinta] Allan state government is bringing this policy into being.

Of course, the cost is large, because it requires tunneling in parts of the project and this is due to poor planning by past governments when they sprawled Melbourne without putting corridors for above rail networks across Melbourne.

Frankston and other councils should start investigations into taking advantage of the suburban rail loop to attract business and therefore employment in their municipalities.

With the invention of “work from home” work, Frankton can take advantage to lure consumers to Frankston from the loop suburbs.

Melbourne roads are full of traffic jams and a decentralised rail network would give workers the opportunity to not have to drive or take public transport to the Melbourne CBD and save travelling time and give more economic opportunities to outer suburbs economies.

Thumbs up for the decentralised suburban rail loop. Russell Morse, Karingal

Thanks for support

International Clinical Trials Day is on 20 May each year and I would like to say thanks to the staff at Peninsula South Eastern Haematology & Oncology Group (PSEHOG), for their ongoing commitment to improving treatments and outcomes for people diagnosed with breast cancer, through their participation in the breast cancer trials research program.

More than 20,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer across Australia this year alone. That is 54 women a day. But while we still have a long way to go before we have a cure for every person, more women are surviving this disease than ever before.

Over the past three decades survival rates for breast cancer have increased by more than 30 per cent and clinical trials research has made a significant contribution to this.

My team and I at Breast Cancer Trials would like to extend our deepest thanks. We would not have been able to achieve what we have

without you, and we look forward to what will be achieved together in the years to come.

Soozy J Smith, Breast Cancer Trials

Gruesome slaughter

For well over 20 years the government has been promising to stamp out the horrendous cruelty and abuses fundamental to the live export of Australian sheep and cattle. They have utterly failed.

A shocking new PETA expose shows that workers in Indonesia are still butchering live, conscious animals from Australia, even though the Australian government repeatedly promised to stop the gruesome practice.

A PETA Asia investigator recorded video of two cows with Australian ear tags writhing after workers slashed their throats. Both animals were still kicking, and one was gurgling as they were dragged by their legs across filthy floors and hoisted.

One of the cows continued to struggle until a worker cut deeper into her throat.

A similar PETA expose of seven randomly selected slaughterhouses in 2021 found the same, even though some were registered with the Australian government’s Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS). While exporters are required to comply with ESCAS, Australia’s meat industry still ships cattle overseas to countries where they are killed in ways that would be illegal in Australia.

The Labor Party has finally set a date (2028) to phase out the live export of sheep, but the abuse of cattle has been ignored.

We’re closer than ever to stopping boats crammed with terrified animals from leaving our shores, but we need your help.

The live-export industry is the meat and leather corporations. Stop buying meat and leather and you’ll stop paying for this cruelty.

Mornington Tragedy - Motor Driver Charged

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

STANLEY Rupert Brett, 23, motor driver, was charged at the City Watchhouse on Wednesday with the manslaughter of Perry Clarke, 55, carpenter, who was knocked down by a fast travelling car on the Point Nepean road, near Mornington, at 6pm on May 11.

Allegations have been made that the driver of the car did not stop after he struck the man, and that the car, at the time, had no lights burning.

Senior-Detective Piggott, Detective Ethell and Plain-clothes Constable Burns, who were detailed to make enquiries, arrested Brett at Caulfield at 3pm on Wednesday.

His car – a double-seated Chandler – was driven to the Russell street yard, where it will remain until after the trial.

Another Motor Fatality

Hearing a crashing sound from the direction of the road about midday on Tuesday last, Mr. Higgins, who lives on Flinders Road near the Eaton cutting, between Red Hill and Dromana, rushed from the house, accompanied by his wife.

They found that a single-seater motor car coming through the cutting from the direction of Flinders had skidded on a piece of bad road and, capsizing, had apparently turned a complete somersault.

Terribly injured the two occupants – a man and a woman – lay on the roadway. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins took the injured to the house and sent to Dromana for medical assistance.

The casualties were: Killed: Miss

Donnelly, 32 years, of Collins Street, city, recently staying with Mrs. Ward, mother of injured man at Railway crescent, Mornington. Injured: Mr. A. P. Ward, 40 years, of Napier Street; Footscray, condition serious, admitted to a private hospital at Dromana.

Mr. Ward, who had been staying with his mother at Railway crescent, Mornington, where Miss Donnelly had also been a guest, was returning from a visit to a friend at Flinders when the fatal accident occurred.

Mr. and Mrs. Higgins were able to render first-aid attention to Mr. Ward, but it was seen that Miss Donnelly was injured beyond hope of recovery.

Doctors arrived from Dromana and Mornington, and it was found that Miss Donnelly had died.

The injured man was conveyed to a private hospital at Dromana by Dr. Jones, and the body of the woman was taken to Mornington.

Mr. Ward, it is stated, served throughout the war with the A.I.F., and was for a considerable time attached to Anzac Corps headquarters, serving in the capacity of secretary to General Sir Wm. Birdwood.

High School Committee – Indignation At Mr. Ward’s Non-Inclusion

In connection with the formation of a High School Committee, the Act provides that four persons shall be selected to represent public interests.

The Minister has the power to in crease the number to six if he so desires. In the case of Frankston the Minister sanctioned the appointment of five. Why his advisers stopped short at five and thus excluded L. J. Ward, to whose energies Frankston is chiefly in-

debted for its High School, is difficult to understand.

The three representatives of the parents on the committee were selected by ballot, and the shire council’s nominee, Cr. C. Gray was appointed on the vote of the council.

Why a similar course was not followed in the selection of gentlemen to represent public interests has yet to be explained.

The announcement in Wednesday “Standard” that Cr. Oates had been selected to the exclusion of Mr. Ward, and many others with superior claims caused amazement and indignation throughout the district.

One member of the newly elected committee, although a prominent High School worker, and fully entitled to his seat, was so concerned at the noninclusion of Mr. Ward that he offered to resign in order to make way for Mr. Ward.

If steps are not takes to remedy the grave injustice perpetrated it is probable that an indignation meeting will be held to emphasise the feeling of the public in the matter.

***

SPEAKING to a representative of “The Standard” yesterday Cr. Mason stated that he did not intend seeking re-election as a councillor of the Frankston Riding at the end of his term, which expires in August next. Cr. Mason said he had been forced to this decision by the increased demands of his business, and the fact that his health was not as satisfactory as it might be.

He only returned from Belgrave last week, where he has been recuperating after several weeks serious illness.

Many ratepayers will sincerely regret to learn of the decision of Cr. Mason to retire from the council, where his expert financial knowledge has frequently been of great service to the shire.

***

IT is with deep regret that we have to announce the death of Mrs. Robinson, relict of the late Richard Robinson, of Hastings, which sad event occurred at Cheltenham on Friday afternoon, May 16.

Deceased was an old identity of Hastings, and was well liked and respected by all who knew her.

The deceased lady had been very ill for the last nine months, and all attempts to save her life proved fruitless, for she gradually became worse and passed away.

The deceased leaves behind her four sons and one daughter to mourn her loss, and our deepest sympathy goes out to them in them in their sad bereavement.

***

MR. J. Daly, who was one of Frankston’s foremost footballers last season, met with an accident on Monday morning. We understand that as Mr. Daly was proceeding to his work on a motor cycle, it collided with a motor car. However, we are further informed that nothing of a serious nature happened to him, as he was about again very shortly after the accident.

***

THE friends of Miss Allen, formerly head milliner, at Dodds Drapery Emporium, Frankston, and who for some time past has been at Beechworth, will be sorry to hear she has been recently suffering with a very bad throat, so

severe that her friends were all summoned to her side.

However, from latest reports we understand she has now passed the danger zone, and is on her way to recovery.

***

MRS. M. E. Howle, of Denbigh Street, Frankston, leaves here on Saturday to join her sister, Mrs. Herbert Weynton, in Sydney, en route for North Queensland, where they propose to sojourn during the winter months.

Mrs. Howie’s youngest son is living in Gladstone, .and part of their holiday will be spent with him.

***

THE friends of Miss Cahill will be sorry to hear that she had the misfortune to slip in her garden on Thursday last and dislocate her elbow.

Dr. Maxwell was at once summoned and reduced the dislocation.

***

MOUNTED-Constable Addison has been appointed to Frankston in place of Mounted-Constable Graham, who has been promoted to take charge of the station at Goonong.

***

THE many friends of Mr. A. B. Morris, of Playne Street, Frankston, will regret to hear that he is at present seriously indisposed; in fact, we are reliably informed that he has to undergo an operation before relief can be secured.

***

MR. and Mrs. W. C. Young returned to Frankston on Monday evening, after a week’s holiday spent at Ballarat.

RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH ROYALTY

PENINSULA locals prepare to meet the Legendary King Arthur and his court of Camelot this King’s Birthday Weekend. Oh yes they are! Mount Eliza Community Pantomime will stage a new production of Knight Fever - a gagged filled pantomime for all ages with a comic twist on the classic take of King Arthur, his Knights, Merlin and a court jester.

“The Mornington Peninsula is a perfect place to stage a panto,” says co-director Cameron McAdam. “The whole community really gets behind it and the audiences are incredible. Panto has a lot of audience participation and the cheering, heckling, and singing from the crowd is what makes this show such a fun experience for all ages”.

Fellow director Kate Driver agrees. “I love that this production is fun for my kids, my partner and my parents - it makes the whole event very special. Pantomimes are traditionally held at Christmas in the UK but we think the King’s birthday weekend and the onset of winter work really well for our local audiences”.

Rosebud resident and music teacher Paris Biggs is starring in his first ever pantomime

as a young stable boy Justin Thyme who dreams of becoming a Knight. “I have always loved musical theatre as a student but hadn’t appreciated just how much fun pantomime is. When the music director Gina Reimers contacted me about a casting opportunity, I couldn’t have been happier”.

Having just moved to Mount Eliza from Queensland, musician Gemma Vowles believes the panto is a great to meet people while being creative. “I play a few roles in the panto but my favourite is the monster,” laughs Gemma “rehearsals are so much fun and I can’t wait to hear the audience in action”.

Local Doug Thring has lived in Mount Eliza for 60 years and is delighted to be joining the cast. “What’s wonderful is that we are starting to see families and groups returning every year. It is becoming part of the winter calendar.

Mt Eliza has a great community spirit and the pantomime is an example of that”.

Frantic finish ends in a draw, Bombers beat Pines

MEN'S DIV ONE

MORNINGTON and Sorrento shared the points on Saturday after a frantic final quarter comeback by the Bulldogs.

Alexandra Park hosted the match last weekend. It was tight all day long, with less than a goal separating the two sides at the half-time and threequarter-time breaks.

Sorrento took control of the match after the final break, and raced out to a 20-point lead. Mornington had to work hard to get back into the contest, but they proved up for the fight.

Three goals in the final six minutes saw Mornington draw level with Sorrento. In the end it finished all

square - Mornington and Sorrento each scored 15.11 (101).

Frankston Bombers defeated Pines in a thriller last weekend.

A four-goals-to-one final term saw the Bombers go ahead. They took the points with a 13.8 (86) to 11.13 (79) win over the Pythons.

Jarrad Grant booted five goals for the Bombers. Jason Kingsbury, Mitchell Harvey, and Khan Haretuku were named in the best.

Ladder leaders Dromana picked up another win on Saturday. The Tigers beat the Stonecats 17.13 (115) to 7.12 (54).

Rosebud beat Langwarrin by eight points last weekend, and Mt Eliza beat Red Hill by 23.

Red Hill captain calls time on footy

career

RED HILL skipper Jonah Siversen has retired.

Siversen made the decision to hang up the boots after sustaining a head knock earlier this season. He told his teammates about his retirement last week.

Siversen played in Red Hill’s 2019 premiership, and has captained the club since 2022. He played 150 senior games.

Red Hill announced the news on social media last week. The club wrote that Siversen’s “leadership and the culture he provided” would be “where his legacy at the club will lie.”

“A leader that made sure everyone was involved and everyone was getting the best out of themselves - we know this won’t stop just because his playing days are over. His presence will still be felt around the club.

“A brave decision, but the right call given his bright future.”

MEN'S DIV TWO

CRIB POINT have beaten Somerville in a nailbiter.

Somerville hosted the two sides last Saturday. The home side got started on the right foot, and took a three goal lead into the main break.

By three-quarter-time, Crib Point had cut the lead back to three points. The Magpies kept pushing, and managed to take the lead in the final quarter.

A late goal put Somerville back in the hunt, but they fell just short. Crib Point held on to win 12.11 (83) to 12.12 (84).

Liam Tyrrell was the best-onground. He scored four goals.

Chelsea picked up their seventh straight win last weekend. The ladder leaders smashed Hastings by 112

WOMEN'S DIV ONE

MORNINGTON and Warragul Industries both put their undefeated streaks on the line when they played at Alexandra Park last Saturday. Both sides came into the match unbeaten in 2024. Mornington Blue landed the first punch, and ran out to an early three goal lead.

Warragul Industries fought hard to get back into the game, and ended up taking back the lead. By three-quartertime Warragul had established a 12 point advantage. Mornington kept on fighting, but couldn’t quite do enough to wrestle back the lead. Warragul emerged from the match with the win, and claimed top spot on the ladder.

Warragul beat Mornington Blue 6.8 (44) to 7.5 (47). Kelly O'Neill, Nikia Webber, Molly Van Berkel, Alisha Molesworth, and Lily Van Berkel were their best.

Frankston picked up a comfortable victory over Seaford last weekend. Frankston won 6.4 (40) to 1.4 (10). Pearcedale were 29-point winners over Mornington White on Saturday. Karingal had a bye.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Goals galore for Stinson, Bruce

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

JAMES Stinson and Matthew Bruce lit up the State Leagues last weekend with four goals apiece.

Stinson terrorised the Keysborough defence as Chelsea came away from Coomoora Reserve with a 7-0 win while Bruce did as he pleased in a wide attacking role as Aspendale crushed Cleeland United 13-0.

Chelsea is the equal highest scorer in State 4 South (with ladder leader Mentone) and after eight rounds is just five goals away from equalling its 2023 season tally.

Stinson is chasing the league’s Golden Boot award and Saturday’s haul takes him to 11 goals just one behind Hampton Park’s Naseem Rasekh. Chelsea’s other scorers were Adam Bartosy, Daniel Vella and Tim Koulouris.

The goalfest at Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground on Saturday was triggered by Self and Taylan Yildrim (3), Ryan Mravljak (2), James Macnab (2), and Felix Hampson joined in on the party.

Not that the home team needed any help but Cleeland’s George Madul also got on the scoresheet with an unfortunate own goal.

In VPL1 Langwarrin beat Bentleigh Greens 2-1 at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex on Friday night.

The first half was a cagey affair with both teams having chances and both keepers making important saves.

Langy went ahead in the 38th minute when Brad Blumenthal got on the end of a forward pass by Rogan McGeorge, rounded Bentleigh keeper Andrew Withers who had charged out of his box, then blasted his shot past a defender who was on the line.

Archie Macphee had a great opportunity in the 45th minute when the visitors broke with a three against one.

Macphee received the ball on the penalty spot but Withers made a superb fingertip save to put it over the bar.

Bentleigh was much stronger in the second half creating a couple of chances that came to nothing.

Langy seemed content to play on the counter creating opportunities but unable to take them.

That was until the 89th minute when substitute Joe O’Brien smashed the ball under Withers after McGeorge had played him in behind the defence.

Two minutes into time added the home team scored after the ball ricocheted off a Bentleigh player following a cross into a crowded box.

The goal was mistakenly given as an own goal by Langy substitute James Kelly but that couldn’t take the gloss off a fine away display by the local outfit.

“That was a great win,” head coach Jamie Skelly said.

“I was excited to see Ryo Takahashi start the game and perform well after an injury lay-off and Lucas Portelli returned from his dislocated knee with 30 minutes off the bench.”

The squad is close to full strength which augurs well for the back half of the season.

Jeremy Min Fa is close to returning from his knee injury although Charlie Fry remains a longterm injury prospect.

In State 1 Mornington lost its fifth game of the season when going down 2-0 to Gippsland United in Warragul last weekend.

The home side hit the front seconds before half-time when Rory Wagner headed home from a corner.

Mornington had the better of the chances after the break but couldn’t make them count and Wagner’s second goal in the 60th minute set up Gippsland who defended superbly for the remainder of the contest.

In State 2 Peninsula Strikers were held to a 0-0 draw at Centenary Park on Saturday by Bentleigh United Cobras.

Twenty minutes in and livewire Cooper Andrews struck the Bentleigh crossbar. Andrews tormented his opponent with four good crosses into the box but no-one was there to get on the end of them.

In the second half Tommy Wood’s well-hit volley drew an equally impressive reflex save by Cobras keeper Karl Skinner then Cobras’ Merizel Dos Santos should have broken the deadlock

but shot wide.

Strikers had a penalty shout waved away when a corner wasn’t cleared properly and Stevie Elliott contested the second header only to be flattened by a Cobras’ defender.

Late in the contest Strikers substitute Noah Musso had a golden chance to clinch the three points.

A long throw wasn’t dealt with and the ball fell to Musso just over 10 metres out but he sent his volley wide which summed up a frustrating day for the promotion-chasing home side.

Skye United lost 3-1 at home to bottom team Knox City on Saturday.

The visitors had wrapped up the points when Skye replied in the 86th minute through Daniel Walsh who headed home a cross from substitute Daniel Attard.

It was Skye’s sixth loss in eight games this season.

In State 3 Frankston Pines lost 3-2 at home to Heatherton United on Friday night.

In State 4 Baxter make it three away wins on the bounce with a 3 1 win over Mentone last weekend.

Aleks Djukic opened the scoring in the 15th minute with his third goal in three games.

Keegan Myatt broke down the left, played a one-two with Declan Seca then got in behind the defence before squaring the ball to Djukic who finished from the edge of the box.

Mentone equalised on 28 minutes after Cameron Ironside, Adam Leander and Peter Varsamis combined to cut open the Baxter defence with Leander finishing with a powerful left-foot shot.

But Baxter restored its lead right on half-time when Duncan McPherson opened his account with a back-post header from a Djukic free-kick.

In the 60th minute the visitors were given more breathing space after Djukic put in an inswinging corner which Mentone failed to deal with and Jack Elliott nodded it in at the back post.

Baxter and Fijian international Sava Baledrokadroka has been suspended for two years following a Football Victoria investigation of the local club’s round one away clash with Sandown Lions in March.

Baxter won 3-1 but an on-field incident with a few minutes remaining sparked a melee that caused the match to be abandoned.

Baledrokadroka was punched and shortly after felled the Sandown opponent he believed to be responsible.

That opponent was Duboul Kong who received a five-game suspension.

Baxter players and officials required a police escort to their cars and Baledrokadroka was taken from the venue in a police vehicle as a safety precaution.

Baxter had until last week to appeal the decision but both player and club decided not to proceed.

Sandown was found not guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and the 3-1 result stands.

Somerville Eagles beat Brighton 2-1 at Dendy Park on Saturday.

The Eagles went ahead in the 21st minute

through an Alessio Izzo backheel flick from a low and hard Marcus Anastasiou cross.

Brighton equalised nine minutes later after a mix up from a long ball found James Pilcher through on a one on one and he neatly slotted the ball past Somerville keeper Arthur Karagiannis.

Somerville looked in trouble when Brighton was awarded a penalty early in the second half but Karagiannis put any fears to bed when he saved the initial conversion attempt and the follow-up strike.

Somerville took charge of the contest but had to wait until the 83rd minute when a Conor Mcfall free-kick found Tom Simmons at the back post and he squared the ball across the face of goal to Nick Simmons for the winner.

The race for the State 5 South championship looms as a threeway contest between Rosebud, Seaford United and FC Noble Hurricanes.

On a bitterly cold night at Olympic Park on Saturday Rosebud took over top spot on the ladder with a 6-2 derby win over Mt Martha.

But the home side was on the back foot after just three minutes when a ball played in from the right gave Daniel Bancroft a tap-in.

Rosebud responded almost immediately when Caleb Davies was felled in the box and Dougie Cunnison made no mistake from the resultant penalty.

Recent signing Ben Symonds had an excellent game in midfield and he made it 2-1 after 15 minutes with a neat finish following a great save from Mount Martha keeper Derren Elliott.

A tweak in formation at half-time saw Stuart Johnson’s men run over their opponent led by master goalscorer Dave Greening.

His second-half hat-trick was a lesson in positioning and he was able to finish off some great work from Ibiyepribo Davies and Nathan

Yole.

At 5-1 the home side was in complete control but gave away a sloppy goal when taking too long to play out from the back in the 73rd minute.

A mix up from the normally reliable Cunnison and keeper Colin McCormack left the latter making a clearance that was charged down by Bancroft for his second of the contest.

Rosebud responded and won another penalty through the industrious Yole and once again Cunnison made no mistake from the spot to complete the scoreline.

Seaford United drew 1-1 away to Barton United last weekend and is now second in the league.

After a dour first half Seaford took control and started to create chances.

Michael Turner who was making his first start for Seaford was put through in the 50th minute and slotted his shot passed Barton keeper Suliman Fazel.

A few minutes later Seaford won a penalty but Turner’s attempt was saved.

Seaford boss Paul Williams responded with three substitutions bringing on Blake Hicks and Naseer Muhammad then shortly after putting on Cory Osorio.

Both Mohammad and Osorio had chances but were denied by Fazel and Seaford paid the price in the 87th minute when Isaac Lifu’s attempted clearance deflected off keeper Alfonso Cardinale and into goal for the equaliser.

Mount Eliza lost 3-0 away to FC Noble Hurricanes on Saturday.
