Teens arrested for alleged stabbing
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
TWO teenagers have been arrested over an alleged unprovoked stabbing at a Dingley Village bus stop last week.
Police say that a 16-year-old boy waiting for a bus on Centre Dandenong Road in Dingley Village was approached by two teenagers at around 7.15pm on Friday, 13 June. The victim was allegedly stabbed, and taken to hospital with serious injuries. In a statement, Victoria Police said it was an “unprovoked attack”.
Police also allege that just before 5pm earlier that day, the two teenagers assaulted a 70-year-old man at a chemist inside a shopping centre on Cheltenham Road in Keysborough. The victim was taken to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.
On Saturday, a 16-year-old from the Kingston area handed himself into police. He was subsequently charged with armed robbery, two counts each of intentionally cause injury and theft from shop, theft, and common law assault. He was remanded to face a children’s court on 15 June.
Police also arrested a 19-year-old man in Bonbeach on Saturday in relation to the alleged attacks. He was taken to hospital with a nonlife-threatening-injury that police believe he sustained during one of the incidents. He is expected to be interviewed by detectives once he is released from hospital.

California calls for top lifesavers
A GROUP of life savers from Mordialloc and Portsea will travel to California next month to take part in an international competition.
Ciara Walsh from Mordialloc LSC will join nine other Victorian volunteer lifesavers to compete in the Wieland Shield surf sports competition in July. The competition has been held in partnership between Life Saving Victoria and Los Angeles County Lifeguards since 1967 - the US and Australia host the event biannually on alternate years.
The competition includes swim, board and surf ski race, surf rescue relay, beach relay, and ironman and ironwoman events.
The full Australian team is Campbell Bohan, Jesse Coulson, Jack Slykhuis, Reidel Smith, Ciara Walsh, Mackie Hunter, Harvey Larke, Charlotte Mahon, and Xavier Purcell. Hunter, Larke, Mahon, and Purcell will represent the Portsea SLSC.
Team coach Matt Henderson said the Wieland Shield is “a unique and prestigious competition. It’s an incredible experience for our lifesavers to be part of.”
“The team not only gets the chance to test their skills against California’s finest lifeguards in competition but join them in a range of lifesaving exchange activities to share knowledge and skills, enabling them to keep our respective beaches safe,” he said.
The team will host a fundraiser at the LSV State Centre in Port Melbourne on 28 June to fund their trip.
Nominations open for youth awards
NOMINATIONS have opened for this year’s Kingston Youth Awards.

A statement from Kingston Council read “from leadership and creativity to resilience and community spirit, the
awards honour the many ways young people are helping to build a stronger, more connected Kingston.
“Whether they’re creating change, supporting others, or simply leading by example, Kingston’s young people deserve to be celebrated.”

Rising road deaths spark warning
A MAN has been arrested after he was allegedly clocked driving at nearly 200 kmph on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway in Dingley Village.
Police say that they recorded the driver travelling at 198 kmph in the 100 kmph speed limit zone at around 7.30pm on 6 June. Police pulled over the silver Ford sedan just before the Governor Road exit and arrested the driver.
The 19-year-old Frankston South man was interviewed in relation to conduct endangering life, dangerous driving, and other traffic offences, police say. He was released and is expected to be charged with numerous driving offences, to be summonsed to attend the Moorabbin Magistrates Court.
The Ford Falcon was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1,002.
In a statement, Victoria Police said “this intercept formed part of Operation Regal, which saw police ramp up enforcement across the state in an effort to drive down road trauma. It follows a terrible period on our roads which saw 36 lives lost during May –the worst May for fatalities on record in over 20 years, since 2004.” Operation Regal ran from Friday 6 June to Monday 9 June.
The police warning comes amid rising road deaths throughout 2025. As of 13 June there have been 141 deaths recorded on Victorian roads, up nearly 13 percent from 2024.
With winter weather ahead, the TAC is urging drivers to be careful as road conditions worsen. TAC CEO Tracey Slatter said “we’re asking Victorians to plan ahead and adapt to winter driving conditions to ensure everyone arrives at their destination safely.
“It’s always best to avoid driving in severe weather, however, if you find yourself on the road; slow down, be predictable, be visible and look out for other road users.”
A SCOOTER rider was thrown off his scooter on Dingley Bypass last week. Police say the incident occurred on Dingley Bypass between Clarinda Road and Warrigal Road at around 10.10am, 11 July.
Police are now investigating the crash. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Tributes flow for Arts Centre advocate
A LEADING advocate for the creation of the Frankston Arts Centre has died.
Former Frankston councillor Gail Dudeck died on 2 June, aged 84. Among her achievements was her unwavering support for the establishment of an arts precinct in Frankston.
Dudeck served on council between 1992 and 1994, and the Frankston Arts Centre opened the following year. The Frankston Arts Centre acknowledged Dudeck’s passing in a statement last week - it said “Gail was a passionate and tireless champion of the arts. Her visionary leadership was instrumental in the creation of the Frankston Cultural Centre, now proudly known as the Frankston Arts Centre.”
“Driven by her unwavering belief that “no town is a city without a theatre,” Gail devoted herself to establishing a vibrant cultural hub for the community. Her determination and advocacy brought this vision to life, and the Arts Centre stands today as a lasting legacy of her commitment. It has become a cornerstone of Frankston’s cultural identity and a cherished space where creativity continues to thrive.
“The staff at Frankston Arts Centre cherished seeing Gail over the years, as she continued to support events whenever possible. She was a bright and uplifting presence, always sharing kind words and encouragement with the team. Gail’s immense contribution to the arts in Frankston is deeply valued and will be fondly remembered by all who knew her and all who benefit from her work.”
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam joined the tributes last week. He said Dudeck’s “tireless campaigning was instrumental in bringing the Arts Centre to life, and her legacy continues to shape Frankston City’s arts and culture landscape.”
“Mrs Dudeck believed that a city without a theatre lacked cultural identity, and her efforts ensured that Frankston City became a vibrant hub for the arts. With the Frankston Arts Centre marking its 30th anniversary last weekend on 7 June, it
is especially fitting to honour Mrs Dudeck’s vision and determination in championing the Centre’s creation in 1995.
“Frankston City councillors, past and present, extend our deepest condolences to Mrs Dudeck’s family and friends while also thanking her for the lasting impact she made on our city.”
Dudeck served on the Frankston Cultural Board and the Frankston Arts Centre Board. In 2010 she helped establish the U3A in Frankston.
Hall Road upgraded
UPGRADES to the pedestrian crossing at Hall Road near Rowellyn Avenue in Carrum Downs are now complete.
Traffic lights have been installed at the crossing, complete with an LED “No Right Turn” sign during school times. The lighting and guardrails have also been improved.
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “we know how important it is for children and their families to safely travel to and from school, which is why we’ve worked to deliver these crucial upgrades to the pedestrian crossing at Hall Road.”
“Ensuring the community can safely and easily move throughout their local area will always be our priority,” she said.
No standing at any time now applies near the intersection of Hall Road and Rowellyn Avenue.
Winter Cabaret season set
THREE shows have been locked in as part of Kingston Arts’ Winter Cabaret Season program.
On 20 June, Geraldine Quinn’s show Broad will take the stage at Kingston City Hall. Quinn’s show is inspired by Agnes Moorehead, Rhonda Burchmore, and Vivienne Westwood. On 18 July, Cabaret Unscripted starring Green Room Award-winning duo Isabella Valette and Greg Lavell will be staged. The show is set in the 1930s, and is an improvised musical comedy.
The Exotic Lives of Lola Montez starring Caroline Lee is scheduled for 29 August. Montez was a famous performer who toured the Australian goldfields in 1855. The show also stars Maple Rose, Piera Dennerstein, and Iva Rosebud.
Tickets start at $30. To book tickets visit kingstonarts.com.au/Whats-On/ all-events/wintercabaretseason

Tired of stairs? A home lift could change everything
FOR owners of multi-level dwellings, installing a residential lift is arguably the most transformative upgrade you can undertake to make your home more accessible and liveable through your retirement years.
Add convenience to your home
It’s easy to slip or miss a step while going downstairs, especially when carrying heavy items like groceries, laundry, or suitcases. If you plan to enjoy your retirement in a doublestorey home, addressing the issue of stairs is crucial, as a fall can dramatically affect your plans.
Installing a residential lift allows people to navigate stairs safely and makes everyday life easier. Historically, elevators were too expensive for most homeowners. However, with the invention of RESiLIFT®, the world’s first shaftless, through-floor lift, elevators are now more affordable and fit seamlessly into any home.
Enjoy your home longer
Future-proofing means preparing your home for potential changes in mobility that you or your loved ones may experience. As people age, their mobility needs often change, making it essential to equip your home with features that help you adapt. By doing so, you can continue to enjoy your home comfortably and safely for as long as possible.
Some people who install RESiLIFT® find the lift to be a lifesaver when faced with an unexpected diagnosis, injury, or surgery. In these situations, it’s reassuring to know that the challenge of stairs is removed, allowing you to stay in your home. Conversely, if the owner of a two-storey home suffers a medical setback, managing daily life and rehabilitation becomes even more difficult if they haven’t installed a lift.
Avoid a move
People of a certain age often consider whether they should move to a smaller home. This option has many financial, social and emotional implications and it is difficult to find a singlestorey home.
Installing a residential lift helps people avoid moving by overcoming the challenge of stairs. Furthermore, depending on the type of elevator chosen, a home lift may be more affordable than purchasing a new home, with its associated legal, loan, and stamp duty fees.
Beyond saving time and money, staying in the same home allows people to remain connected to family memories and the community they love. Sometimes it’s more difficult for older individuals to build new friendships in a different area than to maintain relationships in their current neighbourhood.
RESiLIFT® has helped thousands of Australians avoid a move. The lift makes life as convenient as living in a single-level dwelling, and for many customers, it’s the only way they can remain in their home.
The advantages of adding a residential lift are too numerous to address here. From hosting elderly friends and relatives, to enjoying your home longer and making everyday life easier, it’s no wonder they’re becoming more common.
The beauty of RESiLIFT® is its simplicity. It was specifically invented for the residential market, has minimal visual impact and is easily installed in existing or new homes.
If you’re considering a residential lift, contact Elevation Creations, your local RESiLIFT® distributor.

Railway Proposal - Heatherton To Western Port
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
A movement to secure the establishment of a new railway with a terminus at Westernport Bay was initiated at a meeting which was held in the Municipal Chambers, Queen street, recently.
The meeting was convened as a result of a resolution of the Moorabbin Shire Council.
Councillors and landholders representing Moorabbin, Oakleigh, Dandenong, Cranbourne, and Frankston Shires, the Borough of Carrum, and the town of Mentone-Mordialloc attended.
A sub-committee of 21 councillors and landholders was elected with a view to urging the establishment of a line half-way between the MordiallocFrankston and the Dandenong Cranbourne lines.
The proposal under consideration is that the line suggested should branch off at or near Ormond, and pass through Bentleigh, Heatherton, Dingley, Keysborough, Bangholme, Carrum Downs, Lyndhurst South, and Pearcedale to Westernport Bay.
The two lines already established are on an average 12 miles apart, according to statements which were made at the meeting.
Cr. C. P. Gartside (Dandenong Shire) of Dingley, was appointed secretary of the movement.
It was explained that the proposed line would pass the Melbourne Benevolent Asylum and the Heatherton Sanatorium, as well as seven established state schools.
It would pass through good dairying and market-gardening, country.
Beyond Carrum, in the opinion of
those at the meeting, the land was suitable for residential and subdivisional purposes.
We are given to understand that the land required in the suggested route for the new railway proposed will be transferred free of cost to the Railway Department.

Frankston – Fifty Years Ago
The following has been forwarded by a reader of “The Standard” at Mentone, which will be read with interest by residents at the district.
The matter is taken from a book (not stated by our correspondent) dated 1876:
Frankston, a post town in the County of Mornington, situated on the S.E. shores of Port Phillip Bay, 27 miles S. of Melbourne, to which a coach runs daily.
In summer there is an additional coach on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, with regular coaches to Mornington, Somerville, Hastings and Phillip Island.
It has a very long and fine jetty, and is the centre of a large fishing and firewood trade.
Frankston contains two hotels, three stores, one Wesleyan chapel, a Church of England and a State school.
It is noticeable that in the whole of Frankston (parish) there is only one magistrate, no police gaol, lawyer, doctor, or resident minister of any religion.
The population in the town is 50, but the chief part are scattered in the suburbs.
The land, being sandy, is ill-adapted for cultivation on a large scale; but
the low, swampy land in the vicinity would well repay the gardener or fruit grower.

Seals In Port Phillip Bay
Great excitement and interest has been aroused in Port Phillip Bay by the fact that, during the extremely foggy days experienced lately a few young seals returning from their excursions have mistaken the entrance at the Heads for that of Westernport Bay, and having completely lost their bearings had landed on some rocks off Sandringham, where their presence and behaviour had attracted much attention.

Crib Point – Motor Cycle Fatality
A fatal accident took place on the Stony Point road, half a mile from the Crib Point township; a motor bike with side car attached, driven by Chief Petty Officer Johnston, of the Naval Depot, collided with a motor car driven by Chief Petty Officer Gibbons also of the Naval Depot, the result being that Mr. Johnston sustained a double fracture of the leg and thigh, necessitating amputation at the Naval Depot, where he had been quickly removed.
He died immediately after the operation. The deceased leaves a widow and young family, who resides at Caulfield.
The actual cause of the accident is not known. An inquest was held on Monday morning.
The accident took place about 7 p.m. on Saturday evening.

Mr. F. Taylor, the well-known Bay
PUZZLE ZONE
street dairyman, left to-day for a six months’ trip to England. One of Mr. Taylor’s main reasons for the visit is to see his mother, whom he has not seen for many years. He is also interviewing England’s poultry experts.
We wish him an enjoyable and safe trip.
Mr. Alf. Davey, manager of Taylor & Ritchie’s well-known garage, accompanied by Mr. R. Ritchie, of Mornington, left on Tuesday last for a motor tour in New South Wales.
They expect to be away about a month. Mr. Fred Taylor, of Mornington, who has lately returned from a trip abroad, is temporarily in charge.

Back From China
Mr. Fred Taylor, a popular member of the firm of Taylor & Ritchie, with his wife and Mr. Thos. Ritchie, of Mornington, has just returned from a three months tour of the Phillipine Islands.
The party sailed by the S. S. “Taiyuian” from Melbourne to Hong Kong, and on arrival joined the vessel which was taken by the pirates twelve months ago.
A very fine collection of photographs was obtained by the party. Mr. Taylor was naturally very interested in the motor car industry whilst away, and says that the Ford is very popular wherever he went.
In the Phillipine Islands most of the cars bear the name of Henry Ford.
Mr. Taylor informs us that the Ford Company is still in its infancy, so with the rapid growth that it is now making we will perhaps see in the near future the Ford car within the reach of all.
*** Too Young For License
Willis Kane, for whom his father, the well known garage proprietor of Aspendale, appeared, was charged at the Chelsea Court with driving a car without a license.
Willis Kane is not yet eighteen years of age, and consequently not eligible to take out a license.
Constable W. H. Quinn: On June 4, at 4.30 p.m., I saw Willis Kane driving a double-seater Ford in Point Nepean road proceeding towards Aspendale. I had previously warned him that he must not drive cars. He admitted to me that he was not eighteen.
T. Kane explained that he had been trailing the car attached to a van. When turning, the Ford had been released, and that was why Willis, was seen driving it.
Mr. Cohen, P.M.: He had no right to be driving the car. The Act says that no person under the age of eighteen shall drive. And he had been warned. A fine of 40/- will be imposed.

Zeitgeist
Several orders for ejectment have been made recently in bayside courts, and several more are to follow. This is undoubtedly a sign of the times, and the distress which is upon the poorer section of the community, whose lot is made even worse by enforced removal and the stigma attached to an ejectment order.

Photo finish for Eagles and Bulldogs, Bombers fly high

By Brodie Cowburn
MEN’S DIV ONE
AFTER a hard-fought battle on Saturday, Edithvale-Aspendale and Mornington finished all square.
Edi-Asp hosted the Bulldogs for a chilly afternoon of football. After a tight opening term, Mornington opened up a three goal lead heading into the half-time break.
The margin tightened up in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs remained ahead. With ten minutes left to play in the game Mornington was 14 points in front.
Two late Edi-Asp goals put the game within a kick. They had a late opportunity to win, but could only add a behind to their total to bring scores level.
The siren sounded with both sides tied. The final scoreboard read 11.13 (79) to 11.13 (79).
Max Walker booted three goals for Edi-Asp, and Jarrod Hicks kicked three for Mornington.
Edi-Asp’s best were Charlie Martello, Alexander Browne, Max Walker, Colby Nayna, and Zac Weller. Mornington’s best were Kai Owens, Mitchell Bluhm, Brenton Credlin, Matt Jones, and Angus Rowler.
Second-place Frankston YCW notched up another win last weekend, getting the better of Langwarrin.
A four-goals-to-zero first term put the Stonecats in an excellent position. Langwarrin weren’t able to fight back, eventually succumbing to a 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57) defeat.
Riley D’Arcy booted four goals for the victors. Blake Mullane kicked two, and was named best on ground.
A ten-goal third quarter locked up a big win for Mt Eliza on Saturday. The
Redlegs beat Pines 19.13 (127) to 8.11 (59).
MEN’S DIV TWO
SEVEN goal hauls from Jarrad Grant and Jai Block helped the undefeated Frankston Bombers defeat Chelsea on Saturday.
Chelsea came into the game in good form, sitting among the finals contenders. On the other hand the Bombers haven’t lost a game, and were looking to continue their dominance. After a close opening half, the Bombers showed their quality. The ladder leaders raced away to a 57 point win 10.8 (68) to 18.17 (125).
Block and Grant scored 14 of their side’s 18 goals, and were unstoppable. Jason Kingsbury, Mitchel Charles, Sam Glenn, and Harrison Prior also had good games.
Hastings secured their second win for the 2025 season on Saturday,
getting the better of Seaford away from home.
Kade Foster was the star of the show at RF Miles Recreation Reserve. He kicked six goals in a best-on-ground display.
Hastings locked up a 25 point win 8.11 (59) to 13.6 (84).
Pearcedale improved their record for the season to 8-1 with a comfortable 43 point win over Bonbeach. Devon Meadows moved into third spot on the ladder with a three goal win over Crib Point.
Rye and Somerville closed out the round with wins over Karingal and Tyabb respectively.
WOMEN’S DIV ONE
MORNINGTON beat Karingal on Saturday to continue their unbeaten run.
The Bulldogs haven’t dropped a game in season 2025. After a tight first
quarter, Mornington took control of the contest.
Mornington beat Karingal 10.9 (69) to 4.4 (28). Tenae Brown booted three goals, and Anna McGlade, Phoebe Pearce, and Eliza Snehotta kicked two each.
Bonbeach picked up a win over Pearcedale on Saturday.
Although Pearcedale were defeated, they showed plenty of promising signs. They fought right to the end, but their quest to find a win in season 2025 continues.
Bonbeach beat Pearcedale 6.10 (46) to 4.2 (26).
Pearcedale will be bolstered this week by the addition of former AFLW player Courtney Wakefield.
Around the grounds, Warragul Industrials thumped Frankston 13.7 (85) to 1.1 (7) at Western Park.

Blumenthal wins it for Langy
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
LANGWARRIN made it three wins in a row with Saturday’s 2-1 home success over Manningham United Blues.
The result cemented the local side’s grip of the all-important 11th position in VPL1 with the three bottom sides in the 14-team competition relegated at season’s end.
But over the closing eight rounds of the season pitfalls remain with the Lawton Park lads facing three top-six sides and 10th-placed Eastern Lions who closed to within two points of Langy with Sunday’s 6-2 mauling of fellow struggler Moreland City.
The outcome of the 26 July Gardiner’s Creek Reserve shootout with Lions could turn out to be a pivotal moment in Langwarrin’s season.
On Saturday Langy started brightly with shots on target from Tom Youngs and Brad Blumenthal.
In the 7th minute a Tosan Popo corner from the left was headed down by Lucas Portelli and knocked in by Youngs for the opener.
Four minutes later Ryo Takahashi’s overhit cross from the right fell to Youngs whose cracking first-time strike was parried at his near post by Manningham keeper Jordan Olds.
The visitors got back into the contest as Langy’s foot came off the pedal and it was no surprise when Ben Everson levelled.
He has a fine scoring record against Langwarrin and in the 27th minute Portelli gave the ball away and Manningham broke quickly.
Portelli failed to cut out the pass to Everson who skinned Langy defender Luke Adams then hammered a low shot across home team keeper James Burgess and into the far corner.
Adams was unlucky in the 35th minute as his header from a corner was headed off the line by Manningham and two minutes later Ayouba Kanneh got free on the left of the Langy box but Burgess effected a superb smother.
Three minutes into the second half Blumenthal was on the end of a precisely weighted and directed Youngs pass as the home team broke brilliantly.
Blumenthal rounded Olds and stroked the ball into the unguarded goal to make it 2-1.
In the 55th minute Burgess was lucky after being shut down and robbed by Everson whose cutback came to nothing with a fine block as the Langy defence scrambled to reform.
A superb Burgess save denied Everson in the 66th minute and Burgess again was on hand to palm clear from the ensuing corner.
Manningham came close to levelling in the 83rd minute when a corner was misread by Burgess and bounced off the back post before being cleared.
And the visitors’ final act of defiance came two minutes into time added but a shot from substitute Ioannis Georgopoulos was blocked as Langy fought hard to cling to all three points.
“It was a difficult game against a good opponent pushing for the playoffs so we were pleased with the win,” Langwarrin gaffer Jamie Skelly said.
“The mindset of the group has really strengthened in the past month while we have been focusing on a playing style that will win us games in this league.”
Meanwhile we have reached the halfway mark of the State League season and promotion remains uppermost in the minds of a handful of the 12 local community clubs we report on.
Mornington (State 1 South-East), Skye United and Peninsula Strikers (State 2 South-East) and Chelsea (State 4 South) look to have the strongest chances of success this season.
The major restructure of State

Leagues to be implemented during the off-season impacts largely on State 4 and State 5 levels.
In State 4 the top team will be promoted, second through sixth will stay in State 4 and seventh through 10th will be relegated to State 5.
The bottom two teams (11th and 12th) will face double relegation and play in State 6 next season.
There is no promotion from State 5.
The top two teams at that level will retain State 5 status.
Third through sixth will be relegated to State 6 and seventh through 11th (there are only 11 teams in the current State 5 South) will face double relegation and play in State 7 next season.
The restructure will add State 6 and State 7 levels into the State League structure and standardise the regionalisation at each level which will consist of North-West and South-East divisions.
While Mornington has lost four games in the first half of its season it remains hot on the heels of the league leader and has genuine promotion aims.
“We have put ourselves in a position to push for a top two spot but have also dropped a couple of games we shouldn’t have,” head coach Adam Jamieson said.
“Of the ones we’ve lost we have created enough chances in three of
those four games but we just need to take them.”
Jamieson remains on the lookout to strengthen his squad but has no new players to name as we went to press.
Skye United is the surprise packet of State 2.
Under-resourced against some bigspending rivals Skye has done remarkably well to undergo a successful squad makeover while remaining ultra competitive.
Strikers are fifth but within striking distance of the top two and most observers would view the quality of Scott Morrison’s squad as good enough to earn promotion.
“We have played some excellent football, we’ve not been outplayed by anyone,” Morrison said.
“The points we’ve dropped have been through faults of our own and in every game we’ve created enough to win.
“We just can’t take our chances and we seem to get punished for every little mistake.
“My belief in this squad is still through the roof because I see firsthand all the time how good they can be and I’m confident we can achieve what we want to.
“I know the boys are primed to hit the second half of the year very hard and there’s not one of them who isn’t hungrier than ever to succeed.”
Gus Macleod’s Chelsea is a point
behind State 5 South leader Endeavour United and with top scorer James Stinson on track to earn back-to-back league Golden Boot awards must surely be in with a strong chance of playing in State 3 South-East next year.
“We’re sitting in a good position at the moment,” Macleod said.
“We’ve yet to play Endeavour and Springvale City (fourth) at home and they are two of the bigger spending clubs who are desperate to get promoted.”
“The attitude of our players has been excellent and Stinson keeps scoring.
“I’m trying to bring another striker in to help him in the second half of the season but it’s not that easy.”
