Rehabilitation hospital ceases services Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE St John of God Rehabilitation Hospital in Frankston is set to be converted into an aged care facility. Earlier this month, St John of God Health Care confirmed that it had agreed to sell the hospital site to Vasey RSL Care. The announcement read that Vasey RSL has “future plans to

redevelop the site to provide aged care services in response to growing community demand across the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region.” Hospital operations will finish up on 23 October, with handover to Vasey RSL Care scheduled to take place on 16 November. St John of God Health Care Group CEO Bryan Pyne the decision required “careful consideration”. “While it is a difficult decision to

cease rehabilitation services at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital, we are pleased the site will continue serving the community and responding to an area of growing need,” Pyne said. “Rehabilitation care has changed significantly in recent years, with services increasingly being delivered within acute hospitals and through home-based models of care. As a standalone rehabilitation hospital that re-

lies on referrals from other health care providers, these changing patterns of care have created increasing challenges for the long-term sustainability of the service. “For more than two decades, Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital has been privileged to serve the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula communities. The hospital leaves a lasting legacy of care, compassion and dignity, shaped by generations of caregivers

who have faithfully cared for those in need.” The sale announcement stated that St John of God Health Care has “commenced discussions with private health care providers across the region to support continuity of rehabilitation services and minimise disruption for patients and their families as services transition.” Continued page 5

Firefighter protest closes Beach Street FIREFIGHTERS protested outside the office of Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke last week calling for greater pay and more protections. Edbrooke was appointed emergency services minister by Premier Ben Carroll earlier this year. The United Firefighters Union gathered outside the offices of Edbrooke and Carroll early last week amidst stalled negotiations for improved conditions for operational staff. UFU Victorian branch secretary Peter Marshall said that during Fair Work Commission proceedings the state government had pursued “legal arguments that threaten longstanding firefighter safety protections”, including uniform and equipment standards. “Every time we resolved one issue, the government raised another. It became increasingly clear they were more interested in delaying the firefighters’ campaign than reaching an agreement,” Marshall said. The UFU said it is fighting for improvements to minimum staffing, classification structures, rostering, dispute resolution, and consultation over safety and equipment. “Paul Edbrooke is a former firefighter. He knows why these protections exist,” Marshall said. “Minimum staffing is not a bargaining chip. It is fundamental to firefighter safety and protecting the Victorian community. “Firefighters have endured years without a general pay rise, ageing fire trucks and ongoing resource shortages. Now this government wants to undermine the conditions that keep them safe. Premier Carroll and minister Edbrooke cannot claim to support firefighters while seeking to gut their safety protections. “Firefighters will not stand by while decades of hard-won conditions are stripped away. We will take this fight directly to the government.” The UFU and Fire Rescue Victoria reached an in-principle agreement for corporate staff earlier this month. Paul Edbrooke was contacted for comment. Brodie Cowburn

Quarry extension application refused in Langwarrin green wedge Raia Flinos raia@baysidenews.com.au AN application to expand an existing quarry in Langwarrin has been refused by the Minister for Planning. On 7 October, Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny refused a Development Facilitation Program planning application for a quarry expansion onto a site on Valley Rd, Langwarrin. Local community groups and residents have been advocating against the expansion, which was proposed on green wedge land, for years. The proposed quarry would have impacted a recognised wildlife corridor that links The Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve with Cranbourne Botanical Gardens. Elizabeth Cester, who lives in the area, said they first received notice about the proposed expansion back in 2023. “The existing quarry had exhausted its resources, but if they could expand into adjoining rural conservation zone land, they could continue operating with those processing facilities,” said Cester. Cester said residents submitted objections to the local council, where the application was refused. The company at the time escalated it to VCAT but then withdrew the application. “That was a long process, and for residents, it’s quite daunting, trying to read technical documents and understand things that you usually aren’t expected to, but they can have a significant impact on your life and

your community,” said Cester. Earlier this year, residents received a formal notice in the mail advising them of another proposal for expansion. Cester said it was sent over the school holiday period, and many local residents and businesses didn’t receive the notice until the 20th of April. “If you read the notice, it reads as if you have to submit your objection before 21 April, but in actual fact, I called the planning team, and they said that they would continue taking submissions until the final decision was made,” said Cester. Cester said if the project went ahead, it would impact wildlife and the environment for decades. “It would never be rehabilitated

to the state it’s in in my lifetime and possibly not even in my daughter’s lifetime,” said Cester. “This project is not just a local issue for the people living in the area - the families, children and parents that attend the local school or childcare, or residents of the Langwarrin Aged Care; it’s a significant environmental site.” Cester said she began researching the potential risks of the proposed expansion. “I felt this sense of responsibility to do as much as I could and let as many people know as possible,” said Cester. “So, that’s when I started reaching out to other groups to try and create some community awareness in whatever time we had, which was

unknown.” Cester reached out to multiple local community groups, including Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation and Western Port Green Wedge Protection Group. “I did what I could, and our local community shared as much information as they could, to help raise community awareness,” said Cester. “I love my community. I love the wildlife, and that’s it. Knowing the risks, I just couldn’t have a clear conscience without doing as much as possible.” David Cole, one of the leaders of Western Port Green Wedge Protection Group (WPGWPG), said the group had helped fight proposals for inappropriate developments in green wedge

areas over recent years to protect their agricultural, landscape and biodiversity values. “One of our aims is to help raise community awareness of the proposal, as many residents would not hear via the very limited legislative notification requirements,” said Cole. “We also encourage community members to make objections if they feel strongly about the proposal and provide guidance to help them prepare and submit their own objections.” Cester said she feels incredibly relieved the proposal has been refused. “I feel relieved for our community. I feel relieved for the wildlife. I feel so grateful for everyone who shared information, who wrote objections, and put time and energy into it,” said Cester. “It’s wonderful that our community can help each other out and I think about the future generations, and I’m relieved for them.” Cole said WPGWPG are very pleased with the decision, which recognises the importance of preserving this important rural conservation zone/ green wedge area. “However, in the Notice of Refusal for this DFP application, it says the applicant has 60 days to appeal to VCAT,” said Cole. “It had been thought that all appeal rights had been removed under DFP, but it now appears that the government may have removed appeal rights for community members/groups, whilst retaining them for applicants. We are now seeking clarification from the Department of Transport and Planning.”

Aged care plans ‘advantageous’ Continued from page 1 Vasey RSL Care currently operates an aged care facility in Frankston South. Earlier this year, the state government approved a $320 million redevelopment of the Frankston South site. That proposal includes construction of a residential aged care facility with 80 beds and a retirement village with 414 units at 85 Overport Road. (“Aged care for veterans set for redevelopment” The Times, 14/4/2026) Vasey RSL Care CEO Janna Voloshin said the St John of God Rehabilitation Hospital acquisition would complement the Frankston South plans. “Over the last few months, we have been in talks with St John of God, and today we are delighted to announce that we have just signed a contract to purchase their Rehabilitation Hospital on Cranbourne Road, Frankston,” Voloshin said last week. “Over the coming year, we will refurbish it to become an aged care home. The new site is around 6km from our Frankston South community and near to the Frankston RSL sub-branch. This will be very advantageous to our whole community, and the timing will coincide with the closing of a wing in our Frankston South aged care home for the new Frankston South Integrated Living Development, bringing much-needed new homes for older Australians to the area. This will allow for relocation of some residents and staff to ensure continuity of care. “We are very pleased to be increasing our services in the Frankston region with this purchase: the Mornington Peninsula is among the top-ranked regions for the proportion of veterans and their families, as well as being a popular area for retirees seeking a sea-change. Both these projects will respond to those needs. It is an exciting acquisition for our community, and we will continue to keep you updated as things progress.”

This means that for Frankston City Council to raise a similar amount in rates as other councils (for it to provide a similar level of local government services) it must use a rate in the dollar which is applied to the valuations.” The motion was scheduled to be put forward at council’s 4 April meeting, shortly after publication deadline. A proposal put forward by Cr Hughes in February last year to cut rates by one per cent was rejected with a 7-2 vote (“Rate cut promise not supported” The Times 24/2/21).

Legal aid service opens new home VICTORIAN Legal Aid has officially opened its new Frankston office. VLA is an independent body which offers free legal information for people with low incomes or experiencing disadvantage. It can help with legal representation, advocacy, and dispute resolution. VLA has recently begun operating out of 405 Nepean Highway, and officially opened its new office last week. VLA Chief Executive Officer, Toby Hemming, said the new space “enables us to provide a more welcoming and accessible space for our clients. It has been designed to be inclusive and create a sense of calm, reducing stress for clients.” VLA board chairperson Llewellyn Prain said “as demand for legal support across the region continues to grow, we are determined to strength-

en our services and improve access to justice. This new office is part of that approach. It sends an important message to our clients and the local community. ‘We first established a VLA Frankston office in July of 1984. Since then, our Frankston office has helped thousands of people – nearly 4500 in the last financial year alone. At VLA, we want to make sure our offices are spaces that are welcoming, accessible and modern, that afford people the dignity they deserve.” Attendees at the opening included Victorian Attorney-General Sonya Kilkenny, Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea, and Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker.

Award noms for waste programs FRANKSTON’S kerbside food organic and garden organic bin service, and the Frankston Regional Recycling Recovery Centre, have each been named finalists at the 2026 Waste Innovation and Recycling Awards. The organic waste collection is a finalist in the Community Engagement Success of the Year category, and the FRRRC is nominated in the Operational Excellence Award category Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker said “the capacity of these programs to influence behavioural change in the waste services sector has been a huge success.” “These programs clearly demonstrate the attitude and a willingness of our residents to embrace a circular economy and implement sustainable practices into their everyday lives,” Cr Baker said. In a statement, Frankston Council said that community consultation with more than 3000 residents had shaped its kerbside organics service. “As a result of these efforts, since its introduction across Frankston City, food waste collected in red household waste bins has reduced by 20 percent. Less than 1 percent of waste in the FOGO bin, and less than 5 percent of waste in the glass bin, has been contaminated,” the council statement read.

THE Skye Fire Brigade, Frankston SES, Bonbeach Life Saving Club, and Carrum Coast Guard have each been awarded grants through the state government’s Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program. The latest round of the grants program saw more than $31 million distributed across 350 projects statewide. In the Carrum electorate, $80,000 was awarded to Skye Fire Brigade, $4,037 to Frankston SES, $28,651 to Bonbeach Life Saving Club, and $58,646 to Carrum Coast Guard. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “I’m proud to support our incredible volunteers with more than $171,000 to help them continue their vital work keeping our community safe. I’m deeply grateful for their unwavering dedication, generosity and the time they give to protect and support our community.” BONBEACH Life Saving Club was awarded a Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program grant.

A WALK to raise funds and awareness for those impacted by childhood-onset heart disease (CoHD) will take place at Ballam Park Primary School on 24 October. Two Feet & A Heartbeat will bring together the community to celebrate milestones, remember those whose lives have been lost, raise awareness, and vital funds. All funds will go towards HeartKids, a national organisation that provides information, support, connection, and advocacy to those impacted by CoHD. Among those participating will be Jade Moore and her three-year-old son Jackson. Jackson was diagnosed during pregnancy with double inlet left ventricle, hypoplastic aortic arch, and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. “He was born with a complex heart defect and underwent five surgeries before he was 11 months old, the first one being at 10 days old,” said Moore. “If you met him, you’d never realise.” Moore said their initial reaction was heartbreak and fear, but Jackson is incredibly strong and resilient. “He’s now a happy three-year-old boy just like any of his other friends,” said Moore. She said they met HeartKids in the ICU when Jackson was two weeks old. “They came up to introduce themselves and ask if we needed anything, like resources or someone just to listen to us,” said Moore. “And every time we’ve been in hospital, the ladies in the hospital have always been so helpful, allowing us to have time outside the hospital room, or they look after Jackson, or help with our older child.” She said the hospital can be quite isolating at times and it’s nice to have a friendly face

around. Moore said this will be their third year participating in the annual Two Feet & A Heartbeat walk. “It’s just a big community day, and everyone’s there for the same reason,” said Moore. “We all support each other and share stories of our children and the children that have passed away from congenital heart defects.” Moore said it is a chance to gather with others and understand you’re not alone. She said there is still a lot more research needed for heart defects. “The conditions my son has, the surgeries that are giving him the best chance of life, have only started being performed in the last 20 years,” said Moore. “It’s about trying to figure out how to better maximise the outcomes for these children, and what procedures work better and all that.” Moore said there are many people cheering for these children and who want to see them succeed in life. “A congenital heart defect doesn’t define these children,” said Moore. HeartKids CEO Samantha Glastonbury said Two Feet & A Heartbeat is an opportunity for the community to come together and stand together. “Every heart has a story. Every person who walks with us is showing children, young people, adults and families impacted by childhoodonset heart disease that they are not walking this journey alone,” said Glastonbury. “Whether you are a heart kid, heart adult, heart parent, grandparent, sibling, friend, supporter, healthcare professional or someone walking in memory of a loved one, this day is for you. We invite everyone to join us as one big heart community this October. Every step honours a heart story, and every heartbeat reminds us why we walk.” You can find out more information, donate, and sign up for the upcoming walk at: heartkids. org.au/event/vic-frankston/.

Journalist Martin Scarsden (Luke Arnold, pictured) does the one thing he swore he’d never do – return to his hometown – in the second season of this dark Aussie crime thriller adapted from Chris Hammer’s novel Silver. But just as Martin settles into a new life nearby with partner Mandy (Bella Heathcote), a childhood friend is murdered. With all clues leading back to Mandy, Martin is in a race against time to clear her name and ﬁnd the real culprit. In Sunday’s penultimate chapter, local police prepare to lay charges, Martin uncovers an extortion plot and a memorial is the target of a mass poisoning. This slow-burn mystery will keep you guessing until the last minute.

The bright lights of Vegas are calling for Big Brother host Mel Tracina this year… Bris-Vegas, that is. Leaving the Gold Coast compound behind for a custom-built house at Screen Queensland Studios, Australia’s original reality format has a brand-new playground for its fresh cast to explore. But just because Big Brother has an opulent new home (and a much-needed roof for the live stage), don’t think he wants his guests getting comfortable. From night one, viewers will have more power than ever to shake up the game and keep the housemates on their toes. The mind games begin on Monday when Tracina introduces BB’s new playthings before sending them through the front door.

There’s a lot more to this homegrown reno show than a few planks of wood and a lick of paint – The Block alum Jess Eva (pictured) and her dedicated team of tradies and volunteers are changing lives. With a budget of just $10,000 and ﬁve days, Eva puts her bubbly personality and can-do attitude to work in a labour of love that gifts Aussies doing it tough with a fresh start. This season begins with an emotional trip to Warracknabeal, Victoria, where the crew steps in to help single mum-of-four Serena. Her “cosy” home has a number of defects – including a shower in a cupboard – but those issues are no match for this devoted army of battlers. 2310

Locals deserve clarity on Dromana Pier For Dromana’s cafes, restaurants and shops, summer trade helps pay the bills long after visitors have headed home. It supports local jobs and keeps businesses operating through the quieter months. That is why concerns about the Dromana Pier redevelopment deserve urgent attention. Traders have told council that foreshore closures, reduced parking and construction arrangements have affected their businesses. Residents want to know when they can enjoy their pier and foreshore again. Both are asking a reasonable question: when will the work be finished? At present, uncertainty is adding to the frustration. Reports of further delays are circulating. These have not been verified yet speculation helps nobody. Parks Victoria need to provide a clear public update explaining what remains to be done, when access is expected to be restored. People can plan around reliable information. They cannot plan around an information vacuum. The new pier will be an important asset for Dromana. Investment in safe, accessible public infrastructure is welcome. But the way a project is delivered matters to the people living and working alongside it. Businesses need customers to be able to find them, park and move safely through the precinct. Visitors need clear information about which areas remain accessible. Residents need confidence that closures are necessary and will last no longer than required. I am seeking urgent action from the state government to address these concerns ahead of summer. That means a credible reopening timeframe, regular updates and a practical plan to minimise disruption. Construction signage and visitor directions should be reviewed so they accurately explain access and help people reach local businesses. Dromana deserves a new pier. Its residents and businesses also deserve clear answers, practical support and every reasonable effort to prevent disruption extending through another summer. Mayor Cr Stephen Batty, Mornington Peninsula Shire Editor’s note: The News reached out to Parks Victoria seeking confirmation on the timeframe of the pier’s opening and received the following statement: “The new Dromana Pier will open this year. We will let the community know about the exact opening date as soon as it is confirmed.”

Hospital risks

I attended the shire’s Nepean candidates’ forum on 15 October 2026 and found the entire session most informative. Well done to the shire for facilitating and moderating the session and encourage everyone to review the discussion through the shire’s website. The main topics were, not surprisingly, Rosebud Hospital, homelessness, affordability and transport. It was pleasing that all candidates were most supportive of the immediate redevelopment of the Rosebud Public Hospital in a staged approach, to ensure that the facility is not closed for a prolonged period. It was also agreed that the range of public hospital services should be increased to include maternity, cardio-thoracic, etc. With the exception of the One Nation candidate, how the rebuild would be paid for was not addressed. Intriguingly, the ON candidate has been on the public record indicating that the rebuild would be undertaken as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) and then spoke about funding from “from the private sector” that would result in a $345m saving. As a person who has had a career in formulating, procuring and commissioning PPP projects, there is a world of difference between a PPP and a private financing and without a comprehensive project brief being created, costed internally and then put out to tender for a contracted fixed price, it is impossible to accurately predict what savings - if any - may be achieved through such project

delivery methods. It is also unclear if the current Rosebud site is sufficiently large enough to incorporate the private facilities for a PPP to be viable. While Victoria’s financial position is not currently strong, it nonetheless should be able to raise finance at a cheaper rate than the private sector whom, afterall, would be borrowing against the risk of the state repaying the debt! Be careful what you wish for. Stuart Allen, Dromana

Building our future

We all know that classrooms aren’t for everyone. Many of us learn by doing, retaining knowledge best when we use our hands. But in Victoria, these types of learners are not supported, and Victoria is facing a skills shortage. The consequence? Our local businesses don’t have enough qualified workers. Since 2021, vocational training commencements have fallen by 46 per cent, even though demand for skilled workers is growing. That’s why the Liberals and Nationals have announced that, if elected in November, we will halve apprenticeship training costs for Victorian businesses. Our Accelerating Apprenticeship Fund will: n Give young Victorians a pathway into secure, well-paid jobs n Back our businesses to train the workers they need, and n Grow our economy We will also establish 10 new Technical Colleges across Victoria. Co-located at existing secondary schools and TAFE Institutes, this will give 5,000 secondary students hands-on vocational education and training. As a former teacher, it is so exciting to see young people build their own education journey, find what works for them and thrive. I understand better than most that the government needs to support young people to find these pathways. As a Member of Parliament, I love visiting local schools in my area which provide vocational education opportunities, learning about programs which support at-risk youth to engage in education, and attending graduations and award nights. An event that particularly comes to mind is the 2025 Victorian Apprentice Training Awards. It was such an inspirational night. I remember winners and nominees speaking about how their apprenticeship changed their lives, gave them an opportunity when they may not have had one otherwise, and supported them to grow as people. The Liberals and Nationals’ Accelerating Apprenticeship Fund will support thousands more Victorians to build a rewarding career and thrive. Ann-Marie Hermans MP - Liberal State Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region .

Pen pusher

I think J. Cox (“Who checks the checkers?, Letters, 13/10/26) would be best advised to stop listening to Fox News, Pauline Hanson and Donald Trump. For their information Australians have always used pencils for marking ballot papers, pens are a recent occurrence for a few paranoid people. I was just wondering who J. Cox thinks these nefarious actors who are? Somehow they are going to grab large numbers of ballot papers to spend a few unobserved hours rubbing out ballots and changing them, then surreptitiously returning them to the official count. Australia has a very robust electoral system controlled by the politically neutral AEC. The possibility of cheating as implied by J. Cox is negligible or non-existent. Ross Hudson, Mt Martha

Conspiracy theory

The vision created by J Cox (“Who Checks the Checkers?, Letters, 13/10/26) of electoral staff bending over ballot papers with their erasers, scratching out voter intentions written in pencil and replacing them with their own preferences, is indeed captivating.

STATE Anthony’s Nose, Pt Nepean Road.

Having worked for the electoral authorities at many elections, I can assure you staff do not put a finger on those ballot papers except to count them into piles. It is a laughably absurd notion that anyone in those positions has the opportunity, time, intent or desire to alter votes. Counters are constantly scrutinised by the AEC/VEC’s roaming supervisors. Pen or pencil - it’s your choice. Take your own if you wish. Preference selection - also your choice. You don’t have to follow the How To Vote Card provided by your party. What you mark on the ballot paper is what gets counted, exactly as you intended. Please don’t peddle conspiracy theories about the outstandingly rigorous and transparent election processes we in Australia are fortunate to have in place. Debbie de Laps, Rye

Election predictability

It’s said there are two certainties in life, death and taxes, but as a long time reader of this paper, I’m pretty sure I have found a couple more. Firstly Cr Gill. I can’t remember the last time I read the paper without reading “ the motion was passed with only Cr Gill voting against.” In fact in last weeks paper two articles contained much the same phase on two different issues. Then we have Joe Lenzo. Much the same as Cr Gill, Joe has been a model of consistency when it comes to being out of step with the majority of his fellow peninsula residences with his backing of every losing candidate for as long back as I can remember, with the highlight being his avalanche of letters in support of independent candidate Dr Sarah Russell, who then failed to garner enough votes to beat the informal vote. If I was Kim Robbins I would politely ask Mr Lenzo to put his support elsewhere if previous results are anything to go by. M. G. Free, Mt Martha

Tree devastation

What price a Tree? Capital letter for Tree intended. Hard to put a price on something that time and nature have created and nurtured for possibly over one hundred years or more. Councils all over Australia have been made aware that Trees are highly valuable for so many reasons. Green canopy cover is a hot topic right now. Trees provide health, well-being and ecological benefits as well as helping to combat the effects of climate change. The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council purports to know this when it states, “Trees matter on the Mornington Peninsula - The Shire is taking a proactive approach to tree management”. The felling of these particular Messmate Trees, fully supported by the shire and a qualified arborist on a site that is subject to significant landscape and vegetation overlays, makes me seriously wonder about the meaning of the words “proactive approach to tree management” and to question the protective power of overlays. If this act of apparent arboricide is the shire’s idea of “proactive tree management” then I believe the council should reconsider its statement reflecting their view on Trees because it is not ringing true with regard to Tree protection.

I am gutted to learn these Trees quite possibly may have had a further one hundred years of life left in them had they not been killed to make space for a shed! Would they still be there today if it wasn’t for the request for a shed? I am certain everyone who cares about the loss of the Messmates would want to read the arborist’s report to find out exactly why they were approved to be cut down. Where can we see this report? Tori Potter, Flinders

Health rebate

I am an older person who has private health insurance, it’s a choice i make. I do not understand why I should receive a higher rebate for health insurance than younger people. Yes, I understand that it might affect some older people on limited incomes, but there are many younger people also on limited and low incomes, why should they receive a smaller rebate than I do? I would much rather see savings go towards a measure that will help all older people, with more accessible aged care services than to the limited group who choose to pay for health insurance. Marg D’Arcy, Rye

Real community

I cannot get enough of Mornington Tanti estate. Created from a farm in the 1960s by the Housing Commission, Mornington Park or Tanti as it was called, is tucked behind Bungower Rd and the Nepean Highway in arguably one of the best real estate positions in Mornington. If it’s not on the highest score expensively it would be difficult to match communally and it has a real sense of community past about it. Numerous families have an intergenerational history. From my experience with Mornington Park Primary that combines with its Steiner school, the opportunities for children could only be equalled. Mornington U3A is centred in Mornington Park with a program including the school. The children have introduced me to a community activity established by ‘BT’ where throughout the year every Thursday evening he puts on a free BBQ for the locals at the Currawong Community Centre park. Food aplenty, excellent and various, the happiest opportunity for neighbours to come together and they do. Here the local kids, their families and other residents enjoy just being together. A happy space complete with live music, great food, easy come-and-go. Such a far cry from what can often be silence with next-door. Where else does this happen? A reminder of a mostly disappeared past, but yes Mornington Park has it. There might have been some negative baggage for this estate but I’m reminded of the Heinze ad where this “little brother” has definitely been brought up a bit! I live beachside but this is my happiest place. Max Garrard, Mornington

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Valedictory – Farewell to Mr T Strickland Compiled by Cameron McCullough A farewell evening was given to Mr. Thos. Strickland at the residence of Mr. L. Berryman by the Balnarring footballers and supporters on Friday October 3. A large number of people attended and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Mr .Strickland, who is a nephew of Messrs. Wiseman and Barrett, came to Balnarring about four years ago, and during his stay here made himself very popular with the residents. He took part in all classes of sport, and the spirit in which he always entered into the things was a great help to those in control. During his three seasons of football he never missed one match and proved himself a very capable forward, scoring 114 goals for the three years, and in two of these seasons he played as half-forward. The Balnarring boys will greatly miss his services next year as well as his pleasing personality. The president (Mr. R. Waldron) in presenting Mr. Strickland with a thermos flask and travelling outfit, on behalf of the football club; paid a high tribute to his good services to the club and said it was a big loss to know he was leaving, but he wished him the very best of good luck and hoped that he would not forget Balnarring, and that when he had an opportunity he would pay them a visit. He was well supported by Mr. J. Meehan and the captain (Mr. R. Stone). Mr. Strickland thanked the club for the presentation and all the good

things said about him and assured all present that he would not forget us and would certainly be amongst us when the opportunity arose. Mr. Strickland is going share farming in the Trafalgar district with Mr. Roland Barrett. *** Fire at Carrum The Carrum Fire Brigade had a call on Friday last week to a fire at a dwelling in Kalimna Street, about 2.40am. Two of the firemen were returning from the football premiership social at Seaford and when close to the station saw the flames, and running back rang the bell and ran out the hose. Although they were at the scene of conflagration within a few minutes they were unable to effect a save, the residence, which was empty at the time, being burnt right out. They, however, effected a good save of the next property, the building being within a few feet of the burnt-out dwelling. *** Frankston Police Court Only two cases came before the local Court of Petty Sessions on Tuesday last. The Bench was occupied by Messrs. Grant (chairman), Brown, Gray and Marsh. Cecil Chapman, who did not appear, was charged by Constable Anderson with having driven a motor car on the wrong side of Bay Street on the afternoon of Sunday, September 12. Constable Anderson said defendant told him that he had not seen the notice directing traffic to keep on the left side of the gardens in Bay street. A fine of 40/- was imposed.

Thomas Julier, who pleaded guilty, was charged with having, on the 2nd inst., stolen a quantity of screenings, valued at 18/- the property of the Shire Council. Senior-Constable Elliott conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Carroll appeared for the defence. W. J. Muntz, Shire engineer, deposed that he had had several lots of metal screenings placed in various position on Pt. Nepean Road between Carrum and Mt. Eliza. The screenings were similar to those in the bag (produced). The value of the screenings was about £1 per cubic yard. Eighteen bags similar to that in court would measure about one yard. He did not know accused, and had given him no authority to remove the screenings. Senior-Constable Elliott said that on Sunday, October 3, in consequence of a complaint, he proceeded to a house in Gould Street, where he saw accused. Witness went with him to a garage on the property where he found several bags of screenings, one of which was that produced. Accused had owned to taking the screenings and had made and signed a statement to that effect. In reply to Mr. Carroll: He knew nothing against the character of accused previously; in fact, he knew a good deal in his favor. Mr. Carroll, for the defence, said that this was one of those cases in which it is hard to explain why such a man as his client should do such a thing. He was a ratepayer of the shire and

bore an exemplary character. His client thought the screenings had been there for several months, and that he was doing no great wrong in using some of them. The removal of the screenings had been done openly, and he had immediately owned that he had taken them when questioned. On the accused undertaking to place the sum of £5 in the poor box, and paying £1/14/- costs, the case was adjourned for 13 weeks. *** Frankston Cemetery: Memorial entrance completed The memorial entrance to the Frankston cemetery has now been completed, and makes a wonderful difference to the appearance of the cemetery. The work has been executed in cement blocks, two sections of the fence being straight, on the streetline, while the sections on either side of the entrance gates are curved, thus relieving any severity that might otherwise obtain in this class of work. The corner pieces are heavy square columns in the same material, with large concrete caps. The gates are of the cyclone variety, with aluminium finish. A neat tablet of white marble, lettered in black, is set in the masonry on the left of the gates, and bears the following inscription: “This entrance was erected in August, 1926, by grateful friends to the memory of the late Mrs. Grace McComb, for her goodness.” The late Mrs McComb was one of the earliest settlers of the Frankston

district. In the early days of the district there were no doctors within many miles of the township, and it was this, fact which gave the late Mrs McComb the opportunity to show her worth. An able nurse, she was at the beck and call of the community, and one can readily imagine what a colossal amount of work she had to face outside her ordinary household duties. It is good to think that her friends of those early days have not forgotten her self-sacrifice and help. The new entrance to the cemetery will pass on their record of gratitude to coming generations. To Mrs. C. Wells, senr., the credit for the institution of the fund which made the erection of the gates possible, is due. For a long time Mrs. Wells has worked with unflagging enthusiasm to raise sufficient capital for the work. Those who have cause to cherish the memory of the late Mrs. McComb were only too willing to respond with contributions to the fund, which has made possible a lasting tribute of their esteem and at the same time made no mean addition to the appearance of the locality. The work of erecting the stone work and gates was carried out free of charge by Cr. F. H. Wells, and is a neatly executed piece of workmanship. The whole scheme has been inexpensive and is a standing proof of what might be done for the township with a little enthusiasm and self help. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 22 October 1926
