New SES site

Family violence victims need legal help

Brodie Cowburn

UNPRECEDENTED numbers of women are seeking legal aid to escape family violence, the Peninsula Community Legal Centre says.

The number of arrests for family incidents rose by more than 17 per cent in the Frankston municipality last year. The Peninsula Community Legal Centre, which offers free legal services in Frankston and on the Mornington Pen-

insula, says there has been a “dramatic increase” in the number of women seeking legal help on family law matters.

Around 60 per cent of the legal centre’s clients have experienced family violence. PCLC CEO Jackie Galloway said “the alarming spike in the number of women being killed around the country has led to a national conversation about family and gender-based violence. This has brought into sharp focus the intersecting nature of the national family violence, housing and cost of living crises.”

The free legal centre recently helped a woman who came to Victoria to escape violence keep her children by working with lawyers interstate. “PCLC’s family law team recently assisted a woman and her two young daughters who fled across the country to live with the women’s parents in Victoria,” Galloway said. “The perpetrator made a court application for the children to be returned to him, despite his long history of family violence and the fact that the eldest daughter was not his biological child. This led to extremely complex legal proceedings in

different states. PCLC’s family lawyer worked with a community legal centre in the other state to successfully have the violent ex-partner’s application quashed, and also initiated family law proceedings for the mother to keep her children and remain safely in Victoria”.

Galloway said there are tens of thousands of women in similar situations who seek legal help every year. She said that without more funding, free legal centres will not be able to keep up with the number of women needing assistance.

“Due to limited funding, the number

of women who receive help from community legal centres like PCLC and legal aid services is a tiny fraction of those who need it. We need a massive injection of funding and longer-term funding agreements. The government response to family violence needs to build on the knowledge acquired over several decades of experience and provide reliable and adequate funding to all of the intersecting front-line services that assist victim-survivors,” Galloway said. To contact the PCLC call 9783 3600 or email pclc@pclc.org.au.

Charity rugby raises money

A CHARITY rugby match in Seaford last weekend raised more than $8000 for cystic fibrosis research and care. The match between Frankston Raiders and Eastern Raptors last Sunday was the brainchild of eightyear-old Spencer Quinnell. The young rugby fanatic lives with cystic fibrosis - his two younger brothers Teddy and Stanley also have the genetic disorder.

end. Spencer Quinnell’s mother Liv said that she was “truly blown away” by the support.

“Spencer’s dream became reality. The day was phenomenal - the grounds were filled with people smiling, cheering him on, digging deep, asking questions about cystic fibrosis, or educating others about cystic fibrosis which was just amazing,” she said.

Approximately $8500 was raised for CFCC and MonashCF last week-

“The day ended with some big news that NRL Vic Masters were

so impressed with Spencer’s initiative and drive that they have offered Frankston Raiders Masters to hold the first tournament round next year, and invited Spencer to use the round as an opportunity to raise further awareness of cystic fibrosis.” Spencer Quinnell has taken part in fundraising events for cystic fibrosis for the last few years (“Young rugby fan’s cystic fibrosis fundraiser” The Times 14/5/24).

Multi-storey plans on Beach Street

PLANS for a 14-storey apartment building on Beach Street have been unveiled.

Developer CAAMCo has submitted plans for the multi-storey development. It says that nearly 300 people could live in the building if it is approved.

“CAAMCo is currently proposing a multi-level residential apartment project, offering exceptional bay views, high-quality finishes, and meticulous enduring design, all aimed at ensuring the utmost satisfaction, enjoyment, and affection of future residents. Situated in a bayside suburb of Melbourne, this location boasts excellent connectivity to various essential services, including public transport, healthcare, education, hospitality options, job opportunities, and public sporting amenities,” a statement on the CAAMCo website reads. “The area also features pristine award winning waterfronts and family friendly beaches spanning several kilometres.

“This development has the potential to accommodate up to 288 individuals seeking secure, affordable housing within its municipality. Furthermore, it is likely to provide support to neighbouring local government areas facing housing shortages and increasing homelessness.”

A preferred height limit of 12 storeys is applied to the site in Frankston Council’s 2023 draft FMAC structure plan. The preferred height limits in the structure plan have come under intense scrutiny throughout this council term (“Hundreds call for height limit changes” The Times 19/3/2024).

AEC’s proposed new boundary for Dunkley (blue) and its existing boundary (red).

Electorate boundaries may shift

THE federal seat of Dunkley would lose Mt Eliza but gain Carrum under changes proposed by the Australian Electoral Commission.

The AEC has been drafting new boundaries for the federal House of Representatives. It released its proposed changes last week - 34 Victorian electorates will have their boundaries shifted if the plan proceeds.

The new Dunkley boundaries will see most of Mt Eliza transferred into the Flinders electorate. The northern boundary will move to compensateCarrum, Bonbeach, Patterson Lakes, and the southern part of Chelsea will move into Dunkley from Isaacs.

The AEC’s changes would see the federal seat of Higgins abolished. Electoral commissioner Tom Rogers said “under the proposal some significant changes would occur, with the boundaries of Victorian divisions being amended to accommodate the decrease.”

“38 of the existing 39 division names would be retained with the Division of Higgins to be abolished,” he said.

The AEC is accepting feedback on its proposed changes until 6pm on Friday, 28 June. To view the plans and make a submission visit aec.gov. au/redistributions/2023/vic/proposedredistribution/

In the Spotlight

As the glitter settles following our third South Side Festival, it is the perfect time to reflect on the joy that an event like this brings to our community. I hope you were among the thousands who enjoyed it! With an impressive line-up boasting over 45 diverse events and shows, this year’s festival was the most spectacular yet. This annual celebration of arts and culture brings together local talent, venues, and locations, blending them with the best of the contemporary art scene. One of the highlights for many was the neon wonderland at Frankston’s Beauty Park, featuring the enchanting Neon Fields installation. It is heart-warming to receive so much positive feedback, such as:

• “A diverse festival like this is so important in Frankston.”

• “Good to see there is competition with Sydney’s Vivid!”

• “I love the culture South Side Festival fosters in Frankston City!”

• “If there was a rating higher than 10, I would have given it. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!”

Don’t fret—the fun and festivities continue with more exciting events coming to Frankston this winter. For starters, we have Sound Cube coming to Frankston for the first time on the long weekend. This is a weekend of music showcasing some of our favourite bands and songwriters in our beloved Cube 37. All ages

THE new SES facility in Skye was officially opened last week. The Skye site will be used as a satellite facility by the Frankston SES. The project is part of a $125 million state government project to improve SES facilities across Victoria.

In our Glass Cube exhibition space, Sokeiprim will be playing an open-to-close DJ set across both days.

And the entertainment doesn’t stop there! At the Frankston Arts Centre, we have an exciting line-up including Jimmy Barnes, Bjorn Again, An Evening with Vika & Linda, and tributes to Elvis, Tina Turner, and Pink Floyd.

Frankston is truly alive with the arts, and we can’t wait to see you at these upcoming events. Stay warm, stay inspired, and keep celebrating the vibrant culture of our beautiful city!

“A huge thank you is needed to our fierce local advocate that we have in Sonya Kilkenny MP as well as Victoria State Emergency Service and last but by no means least, our SES Frankston membership.

Group assault investigated

POLICE are looking for a witness to a serious assault in Frankston in the hope of finding the culprits.

A 29-year-old man went to an abandoned building on Playne Street in Frankston at around 3.50pm on 20 April. Police allege he was approached by seven males and hit in the head and body. The offenders fled, and have not been arrested.

The victim walked away and collapsed in a nearby cinema car park. He was taken to hos-

pital with serious injuries, and has not yet been released.

Police are investigating the attack. They wish to speak to a ute driver in the vicinity who may have witnessed the incident - the car was parked in the entrance to a building off Park Lane and the driver was wearing a high-vis top, police say.

Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com. au

Drink drivers targeted

A RIDESHARE driver was among eight people allegedly caught driving over the legal alcohol limit on the Nepean Highway last week.

Police conducted an operation on Nepean Highway overnight between 25 and 26 May. They conducted 3481 breath tests - eight people were found to be over the limit.

A rideshare driver allegedly blew 0.019. Rideshare drivers are not allowed to have any alcohol in their system.

A 29-year-old man who allegedly returned a breath test reading of 0.102 had his licence cancelled and disqualified for 10 months. A 37-year-old woman who allegedly refused to provide an oral fluid sample will be summonsed to court at a later date.

Police also detected four unregistered vehicles, two unlicensed drivers, and caught one driver failing to follow a road sign.

Moorabbin highway patrol sergeant Megan Pattinson said “yet again we are seeing too many people not taking road safety seriously. Consuming alcohol – even just a couple of drinks – can severely impair your ability to make good decisions while behind the wheel.”

“It’s not just yourself you need to think about; it’s also your passengers and other road users whose lives could be cut short or impacted by a serious injury. Everyone needs to play their part in reducing road trauma, and one of the easiest ways to do that is by not drinking and driving,” Pattinson said.

Search for missing man

A MAN has gone missing from Frankston Hospital.

Ronan, a 54-year-old man, was last seen leaving Frankston Hospital on Hastings Road on 28 May at around 3pm. He has been reported

missing.

In a statement Victoria Police said “there are concerns for Ronan’s welfare as he has a medical condition which requires regular medication.”

“Ronan is Caucasian, about 170 cm tall with a slim build, long black hair and has tattoos on his legs and chest. He was dressed in black clothing, sunglasses and believed to be barefoot.”

An image of the missing man (below) has been released. Anyone with information can contact Frankston Police Station on 9784 5555 to assist with the search.

Gender equality push for council

KINGSTON’S mayor is encouraging more women to put their hands up for local government elections later this year.

The mayor Jenna Davey-Burns and deputy mayor Tracey Davies are the first all-female leadership team in Kingston Council’s history. Women are historically underrepresented on council - only four out of 11 serving Kingston councillors are women, and just three out of nine Frankston councillors are women. Every incumbent female councillor serving on Frankston Council between 2016 and 2020 declined to run again.

At a recent meeting with outgoing junior mayor Alexandra Shewan and deputy junior mayor Vanessa Comarmond, Davey-Burns stressed the importance of young women getting involved in leadership roles.

With council elections looming in October, Davey-Burns said “women deserve to be at the decision making table.

Despite the many barriers faced, together, we can drive equity for all women.”

“The horrendous scourge of genderbased violence and the health challenges being faced by women, people who identify as women, and girls across the globe are just two of the many issues that need strong, passionate and informed leadership,” she said. “Girls and young women deserve to have strong role models and opportunities to take up leadership roles in their schools, clubs, workplaces, local councils and at the other levels of government.”

On International Women’s Day earlier this year, a group of women who undertook the Women Leading Locally leadership program announced their nominations for councils statewide. The state government-financed program is designed to help achieve 50/50 gender representation in local government.

Youth worker Maureen Rodgers and

volunteer Emily Green have both announced their candidacy for Frankston Council. Rodgers said “at the moment only one third of our council representatives are female. Having more equal gender representation in leadership delivers positive outcomes for both men and women. Diverse perspectives lead to better decision-making, innovative solutions, and a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues.” Green said “understanding women’s experiences at a local level is so important for accurate council progression. That starts with women and gender diverse people, younger or older, putting their hand up and feeling pride in knowing that they will be contributing to a deserved level of representation.”

More radiation care at hospital

A NEW radiation therapy service will open at Langwarrin’s Peninsula Private Hospital.

The service for cancer patients was established as part of a partnership between GenesisCare and Ramsay Health. Dr Mario Guerrieri, a radiation oncologist at GenesisCare, said “in addition to modern radiation oncology therapies, patients will also have access to a cancer care coordinator who will work collaboratively across the multi-disciplinary elements of cancer care to support a holistic cancer journey for patients at the hospital and aim to improve their treatment experience.”

“We’re thrilled to bring together a group of local, dedicated GenesisCare doctors to this service. Their long-standing relationships and experience in radiation oncology care across Frankston and the Mornington

Peninsula will complement the existing cancer care services at the hospital,” he said. “We look forward to working with the healthcare professionals at Peninsula Private Hospital and adding to the impressive, existing array of cancer care services on site and within the local healthcare provider network, including Beleura Private Hospital.”

Peninsula Private Hospital CEO Michelle Henderson said the new services will “enhance the cancer care journey for existing and future patients.”

”The addition of radiation therapy services will complement our comprehensive surgical and medical oncology services, supported by a dedicated and experienced team of specialists, nurses and allied health professionals,” she said.

The service is expected to open in the second half of this year.

From Bluey’s Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson comes this adventure primed for eight to 12-year-olds. Now back with season three of wholesomely kooky, creepy adventures, animated teens Charlie, Pierce and ghost girl Que take on their next level of training by doing the monsters’ chores, such as delivering party invitations for Dracula.

Cancel all your plans and stay in: there’s something for the whole family to giggle about in this lively new spin-off series. After nine seasons of his deadpan, biting humour hosting Hard Quiz, it’s the young ones’ turn to show up Tom Gleeson (pictured)with their impressive wit and knowledge. Kids aged between 10 to 13 are quizzed on their favourite subjects in this warm-hearted show celebrating cleverness. It’s family-friendly fun with quick-witted spark.

SPICKS AND SPECKS

ABC TV, 7.30pm

Like a band that keeps jumping on stage for another encore, this beloved music quiz show has become skilled at cheeky returns. After its heyday stint from 2005 until 2011, the 2014 short and sweet relaunch, themed specials and the COVIDera 2021 season, 2024 can be ticked on the music-loving history pages as another Spicks and Specks year. Host Adam Hills and competing team captains Myf Warhurst (pictured) and Alan Brough welcome a throng of interesting guests and exciting musical acts, including Abbie Chatfield, Hamish Blake, Steph Tisdell and Lime Cordiale. It’s a rollicking fun time.

TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS

SBS VICELAND, 9.25pm

The magnetic Kathyrn Hahn (pictured), who has carved a career with complicated and diverse roles, lands a career-defining turn in this adaptation of Wild author Cheryl Strayed’s much-loved book. Pull out a hanky and prepare for this whip-smart, poignant, darkly witty and a little raunchy drama. Hahn is flawless as writer Clare; she’s pumping out advice in a self-help column while her own world crumbles amid her toxic marriage breakdown and her rebellious teenage daughter’s (Swift ’s Tanzyn Crawford) increasing estrangement. Told through flashbacks to Clare’s past with a stirring performance from Sarah Pidgeon as her young self, this tearjerking eight-part series dazzles with a crisp, piquant script.

Potter review needed to restore faith in shire

Thanks Cr Anthony Marsh for continuing the push for scrutiny on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision making processes about the Harry Potter: A forbidden Forest Experience being held at the wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. At the January Save Briars Sanctuary public meeting the mayor Cr Simon Brooks advised the packed venue that councillors were in favour of undertaking an analysis of the process that led to the approval of the largest event in the peninsula’s history being held in the sensitive and precious wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. This commitment was well received and afforded some assurance that there would be critical evaluation and assessment of the shire’s processes and perhaps also its adherence to master plans that are the result of substantial community consultation and resources.

However, approximately one month ago on ABC Radio, the mayor informed listeners that the promised review was not going to be undertaken until after the Harry Potter event had concluded. Additionally, he revealed that it will be part of an overall event evaluation that would examine everything with respect to the success of the event.

We consider that this approach falls well short of the anticipated analysis. The popularity of this experience is not an indicator of good governance or operations.

A review of the council’s approval process should not be influenced by outcome - success or failure. The investigation should identify if there are shortcomings that need improvement. In this case, the outrage regarding location approval.

Now that Cr Marsh has alerted us to even more failings in the shire’s process, it is critical that no stone is left unturned (Potter review takes centre stage, The News 22/5/24). It is imperative that some confidence and faith in our shire is restored by an honest and transparent review.

Louise Page, Tyabb

Community misled

Cr Anthony Marsh has alerted to us to the game playing that is now occurring regarding a review of the processes leading to approval of the Harry Potter event at The Briars wildlife sanctuary (Potter review takes centre stage, The News 22/5/24).

Senior officers and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council must have known that this decision would be highly controversial and distressing to the community. To keep plans secret until tickets

NEWS DESK

were already being sold, to mislead the community regarding the thoroughness of the reports that was the basis for the decision, and then to deflect any embarrassing questions with the nondisclosure defence could be seen as an attempt to blindside residents into a situation of having to accept the decision, despite major misgivings.

In doing, so they caused much pain and anguish for locals, many of whom have devoted significant time and effort at The Briars in the belief that the master plan preserved and protected the beloved wildlife sanctuary.

This is not the first time that this council has disregarded an approved master plan (the result of significant shire resources and effort by community) in order to favour powerful vested interest. The Tyabb Airport Precinct Plan is another. It has been subsequently ignored by the shire, leaving residents to fight their own battles at VCAT in an effort to protect Tyabb’s rural amenity. Furthermore, Peninsula Aero Club was given $350,000 of ratepayer money – another decision that was made behind closed doors and leaves many questions unanswered.

These instances and, potentially, the “several other examples” referred to by Cr Marsh, represent a failure of ethics, not just of process.

Shire officers and councillors need to remember who they represent and must be open and accountable for how and why these decisions were made. Keith Old, Tyabb

Scoring councillors

The importance of the Mornington Peninsula environment for health and wellbeing was well illustrated in articles in the 25 May edition of The News Prospective counsellor and new mum Pippa McPherson has started a gardening club for young people at the Rye Community House (Club to help young people ‘grow’). As McPherson says, “working with plants is therapeutic.”

Likewise, Pearcedale resident Craig Gobbi’s fight to protect the peninsula’s green wedgezoned land for its “recreational and community health” value further indicates how local residents are stepping up (Social approach to save Green Wedge).

Bid to avoid tree ‘recession’

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire

Council’s draft Our Urban Forest strategy is aimed at reducing the loss of trees on the peninsula.

The strategy - on public exhibition until 10 July - follows a move by Cr Steve Holland in 2022 that called for action to stop “tree recession”.

Holland said tree removal and loss was a significant issue on the peninsula, an area loved by most residents for its rich and thriving flora.

The draft strategy sets an evidencebased target that 45 per cent of the public streets and parks in urban areas are shaded by tree canopy by 2034.

The peninsula now has an average of 37 per cent across its urban areas.

The strategy aims to ensure the peninsula’s biodiverse landscape is preserved, with tree loss in other areas of Melbourne scientifically proven to increase atmospheric heat and add significantly to species loss.

According to studies, access to urban nature and greening improves mental health and happiness and

increases the connection people have with nature.

A council report notes that although the peninsula has more tree canopy than most other areas of metropolitan Melbourne, with canopy cover in towns ranging from 14 to 68 per cent (Safety Beach).

The draft urban forest strategy notes that the “urban forest” of the peninsula is at risk from pests and disease, climate change and urban development. The strategy, if adopted, will guide investment and action to protect and expand vegetation and tree canopy in urban areas.

Implementation of the strategy will, over time, reduce the “inequality” in cover by focussing planting in areas where cover is low, and communities are vulnerable to extreme heat.

“We have already heard from the community that they want more trees and canopy cover. This strategy will help council roll out a program delivering benefits in line with community aspirations,” the mayor Cr Simon

versity within it are under enough threat from climate change. Some local government areas are being proactive by developing pre-election questions for council candidates and summary scorecards as additional information on candidates’ environmental attitudes and commitments. A good example from the previous election can be found on the Kooyong Votes Climate webpage.

The poor results from the 2022 and 2023 Mornington Peninsula Shire community satisfaction surveys suggest the election of several new candidates is well and truly on the cards (Shire again misses survey satisfaction, The News 21/6/ 24). Ray Peck, Hawthorn

Marginalising Christians

Mornington Library is wonderful; I’m a frequent borrower.

This week there is a wall display promoting books with a “Queer”, LGBTI theme, which is fine. I asked a staff member if in another month we could have a similar display, this time devoted to books with a “Christian-Biblical” theme.

I know that myself and friends who identify themselves as Christians would welcome this as we are beginning to feel increasingly marginalised in today’s society. It seems Muslims may have a better time. Friends working for a municipality north of Melbourne were asked to show respect to Muslims during Ramadan, but no similar request was given to employees to show consideration to Christian staff during their Lent Easter celebrations (or indeed people of other mainstream faiths).

I welcome feedback.

Danger from religion

It’s about time the people still excusing the behaviour of [Israel’s prime minister] Benjamin Netanyahu and his troops in Gaza face up to the reality that crimes against humanity by one side, don’t excuse the same and worse by the other side.

We could have had peace and a two state resolution of this sad situation in the 1990s if the extreme right of Israel wouldn’t have assassinated Yitzhak Rabbin.

Ever since, Israeli governments have been the stumbling block to a two state solution and encouraged the atrocious behaviour of the religious nutters in the West Bank. Beware politics and religion ever getting too close in Australia.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Send coal to Ukraine

“Winter is going to kill us”: Ukraine ambassador’s plea for Australian coal, heartfelt and to the point. Australia’s response? They support Ukraine in other ways.

The government should be ashamed of such a miserly act for excuses made for not sending coal to Ukraine.

Coal is used for thermal power, heating, and electricity, especially for industry, so they can keep going. In simple terms, it is a matter of survival. This coal is needed for heating during the bitter Ukrainian winter months ahead.

Denying the shipment to Ukraine means that the children will freeze, the elderly die from the cold, and the doctors and nurses will try to keep hospitals from freezing over.

We have so much coal which, I might add, we send to many other countries.

We all want the war between Ukraine and Russia to end and the war between Israel and Palestine to stop. We can assist both wars more convincingly, but we must jettison from the wings of the USA to then become a true force to be reckoned with. We should make our own decisions.

Until then, prioritise correctly, whether it’s Labor or the Coalition. Anne Kruger, Rye

Signs waste money

There’s a through street in Capel Sound called Broadway. Since last October, we have had three big rented electric roadside signs.

These signs keep telling drivers, day and night, that “roadworks are coming and expect delays”. Duh.

How much rent is spent each week on these signs? What a waste of rate/tax payers’ money. You would think that the few hundred reflective bollards along Broadway would say the same.

And, why would an experienced mob like VicRoads plant foliage at roundabouts that blocks a driver’s view of traffic?

Check out Peninsula Link extension at Boneo Road, Rosebud: scrub at roundabout trimmed but still too high to see over.

Check out Pen Link, Moorooduc Road underpass: long planted grass blocks your view. I thought VicRoads was the expert in safe road design? Warwick Spinaze, Tootgarook

Restrict alcohol

Frankston Council has a policy of rubber stamping liquor licenses for off premises liquor sales, which means alcohol can be taken home and cause drunkenness and violence to women and children.

Alcohol has historically been associated with family violence and voices are being raised to stop delivery of alcohol to homes to try and stop the scourge of family violence.

The council should stop its support of take away alcohol licenses and do something constructive to stop family violence in Frankston. Russell Morse, Karingal

Brooks said.

Shire spending

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has released its quarterly report, revealing a net operating position of $86.2 million for the year to end of March.

The report states $6.1 million was spent on capital works, and $3.4 million on grants, subsidies and sponsorships. The amount spent on materials and services was 47 per cent of the annual forecast.

Highlights included adopting a pedestrian access strategy, completing the Flinders Civic Hall redevelopment, a climate action grant to a kelp nursery in Dromana, and the Womin Djeka - Balnarring Ngargee (festival). Sponsorship highlights included the Sorrento Writers and the Flinders Fringe festivals. The projects leave $7 million for grants remaining.

Councillors walk

THREE Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors who participated in the Coastrek fundraising walk two weeks ago raised almost $2000 for the Heart Foundation.

Crs Despi O’Connor, Sarah Race and Anthony Marsh joined thousands of trekkers on Friday 25 May and walked 50 kilometres from Cape Schanck to Fort Nepean and back to the Quarantine Station. The team raised $1932 which was part of the $807,339 raised on the day. The money will go towards research into specific issues concerning heart disease in women. Almost every hour a woman dies of heart disease across the country - around 20 women a day and 7000 a year.

Planning Dromana

THE Dromana Association is holding a Community Action Co-Design Forum from 6pm to 8,30pm on Thursday (6 June) at Dromana Community hall. Discussion items include the Parkdale Estate and Dromana pier. Also attending the meeting will be

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Simon Brooks, deputy mayor Cr Antonella Celi, economic development officers and representatives from local community groups.

Donations urged

THE Southern Peninsula VIEW Club is urging members of the local community to donate to The Smith Family’s Winter Appeal which has a national target of $7.2 million to help 17,000 additional students across Australia take part in its learning and mentoring programs.

A survey released by the charity found many Australians have seen child poverty worsen in the last 12 months, with more than four out of five people agreeing that extra support for education is key to helping young people experiencing disadvantage.

The Southern Peninsula VIEW club supports 10 students, buys several learning packages and donates to several appeals.

The club meets on the second Thursday of the month at Eagle Ridge Golf Club, Boneo. Details: view.org. au or email southernpeninsulaview@ gmail.com

National award for 3MP announcer’s music website

AN announcer and music aficionado on Mornington Peninsula radio station 3MP has been honoured with a national award for his music website.

Greg Allen, who is a music announcer and occasional presenter of ‘Bayside News’ bulletins, launched Bang a Gong in 2020. The website and its associated social media have been named ‘Best Online 60s & 70s Music Resource’ in the eighth annual Australian Enterprise Awards. The awards by APAC Insider magazine celebrate a diverse collection of businesses and individuals that “truly demonstrate a pristine level of service across Australia,” according to Awards Coordinator, Kaven Cooper.

“Influencing those around them, as well as the rest of the world, our award winners are persistently improving customer satisfaction rates, their specialised offerings, and the corporate landscape in Australia as a whole,” Mr Cooper said.

During the pandemic and its lockdowns, Greg quickly found an appreciative audience for his website among fans of ’60s and ’70s music.

Borrowing its name from Marc Bolan and T. Rex’s 1971 hit song ‘Get in On, Bang a Gong’, the site highlights more than 1300 songs, with video clips, single and album chart statistics, song and artist details, and curated Spotify playlists.

While Bang a Gong has a large fanbase in Australia, its Facebook stats also reveal a large following in countries including the USA, Canada and the UK.

Greg told APAC Insider, “The site includes many songs from Australia,

and I love that some very talented local songwriters and artists from over the years are being given more exposure in other countries. Australia has always had a vibrant music and recording industry.”

Bang a Gong’s creator and manager, Greg Allen, is an announcer on ACE Radio-owned station 3MP which plays hit songs from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Greg’s long media career has seen him work as a radio presenter, music director, journalist/ newsreader, program producer, voice

artist, and writer in Melbourne and other cities.

During his high school years in the early ‘70s, Greg was an avid listener of Melbourne stations like 3XY, and of 3MP when it launched in Frankston in 1976. Greg loved the hit songs of the era and wanted to be the DJ on the radio playing them. The dream became reality and he is still doing it 48 years later.

Alleged Disturbance at Hastings Methodist Church

Compiled by Cameron

McCullough

A DISGRACEFUL disturbance is alleged to have taken place on Sunday night last, when the congregation of the Hastings Methodist Church were subjected to a great deal of annoyance by some hooligans, who, not content with mocking the minister from outside the church, deliberately threw a length of spouting into the church amongst the congregation.

This caused great consternation amongst the worshippers and a couple of the members of the church went out from the church and pursued the perpetrators of this wanton outrage. However, they were unable to come up with the culprits, as the pursuers were subjected to a bombardment of stones.

It is further alleged that this is not the first time that churchgoers have been subjected to attacks of this kind, and the people are hopeful that this will be the last, it being believed that hands can be put on the guilty persons.

If this should be so, the offenders are perhaps not aware that they are liable to imprisonment without the option of a fine. ***

Trespassing on the Railway

Quite recently a number of cases have been heard in the various suburban courts of trespassing on the railway.

The offence, generally being where belated travellers have take a shortcut across the line and reached the station per medium of the platform end, on which is exhibited a notice: “No Road.”

While it may appear to the unthinking portion of the public to be somewhat drastic in proceeding against reputable citizens for thus offending, it must be remembered that if some action of the kind were not taken, the practice would become general, and the public become so familiar, with the danger as to treat it with contempt, unnecessarily, endangering life and limb.

The public, therefore, should take heed of the warnings thus exhibited, as with the increase of electric trains these accidents must be averted if it is at all possible, and one of the methods of prevention is to insist on travellers approaching and leaving the railway stations by the properly constructed entrances and exits.

While it may appear hard for the person, who, perhaps may have offended for the first time, to be caught and fined, the Commissioners find it to be imperative to strictly enforce the regulations.

Artificial Limbs – Returned Soldiers’ Requirements “As a result of their war experiences,

approximately 4000 members of the Australian Imperial Force lost arms or legs, the proportion being one arm to three legs.”

This statement was made by the chairman of the Repatriation Commission (Mr. J. M. Semmens).

Since the return to Australia of these men, he added, the Repatriation Commission had undertaken the supply of artificial limbs, and it was the opinion of experts that it was now supplying an artificial leg superior to any other wooden limb produced in the world.

The commission had lately communicated with the British Ministry of Pensions with regard to the use of light metal limbs, and it was now the intention to issue to suitable men who have suffered above the knee amputations a combination metal and willow leg, which would be lighter than the all-willow leg.

In the near future it was hoped to issue an all-metal limb. The Commonwealth had purchased the license of the Aunger arm and the Australian rights of the Bowler arm (a Canadian production).

These working arms were so constructed that the wearer could use a spade, a pick, and bench tools, such as planes, and braces, and hammer.

In some instances the arms were rendering excellent service.

Other, surgical aids, including boots, splints, shields, supports, and spinal jackets, were being designed and made in the Commonwealth Artificial Limb factory.

Pythons fight back to snatch a draw

MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

MEN'S DIV ONE

PINES and Mt Eliza shared the points after a thrilling final quarter at Eric Bell Reserve last weekend.

The Pythons and Redlegs traded blows in a close first half. Mt Eliza took a seven point lead into half-time, which stretched into 20 points at the three-quarter-time break.

Pines pushed hard in the final quarter to get back in contention. They chipped away at the lead, and found themselves within striking distance with just minutes left on the clock.

The Pythons managed to hit the front with a late goal but the lead didn’t last long. Mt Eliza scored a behind to bring scores level, but couldn’t wrestle their

way back in front. The game finished all square.

Pines and Mt Eliza drew 9.7 (61) to 8.13 (61). Johnathan Haidon and Jarrod Richards were among Pines’ best. Damian Mascitti and Tom Small had good games for Mt Eliza.

Dromana are now 8-1 for season 2024 after a thumping win over Langwarrin. Dromana pumped the Kangaroos at Lloyd Park 6.4 (40) to 14.11 (95).

MEN'S DIV TWO

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

It’s the Keegan Myatt show

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

BAXTER players and supporters were euphoric at the final whistle after witnessing one of the club’s greatest comebacks in Saturday’s State 4 showdown at Westernport.

Each year local rivals Somerville Eagles and Baxter use their league fixtures to compete for the Eagles Cup which raises money for research into motor neurone disease.

It’s a clash that rarely disappoints and last weekend diminutive Baxter winger Keegan Myatt stole the show with a 16-minute hat-trick that turned this contest on its head.

With 10 minutes of normal time remaining Baxter was staring down the barrel.

Goals from Somerville’s Tom Simmons, Howie Anderson and Joe Simmons and an own goal from teammate Connor Carson had produced a 3-1 scoreline and the Eagles Cup was heading in Somerville’s direction.

But Myatt threw Baxter a lifeline in the 80th minute when Brody Taylor got free down the right and squared the ball to the far post for Myatt to slide in and make it 3-2.

Odds remained stacked in the home team’s favour but in the 94th minute Aiden McKenna’s long ball to the far post was headed in by Myatt who had stolen the goalside position from his opponent.

Surely that was that but Myatt had other ideas.

In the 96th minute Somerville couldn’t clear from McKenna’s long throw and Myatt was the player in a packed penalty area that somehow volleyed the loose ball into the far corner for an unexpected winner.

Defender Izaak Barr and attacking midfielder Nat Daher have left Baxter.

Daher is unsure of his next move but is expected to train with Seaford this week while a knee injury has sidelined Barr.

Baxter’s home game against Keysborough this weekend will be the last for one of the club’s overseas contingent, Tomonari Miyazaki, who will return to Japan due to an illness in his family.

In other State 4 news Chelsea defeated visitors Sandown Lions 3-0 in a spiteful encounter at Edithvale Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

The less said about this one the better.

Daniel Vella, Harry Salisbury and Jake Ross scored.

Mentone picked up three points in a 3-1 win over Springvale City at Ross Reserve on Friday night.

The visitors went in front in the 34th minute when Marcus Spivey forced home keeper Kadir Puric into spilling the ball and Cameron Ironside calmly finished from the tightest of angles. Springvale equalised on the hour mark when Mentone failed to deal with a dangerous inswinging free-kick headed home by Edim Lolic.

Mentone brought on Tyler Pollard and Joe Dunbar and it was Pollard in his 100th game for the visitors who cooly converted from the penalty spot on 79 minutes after Peter Varsamis had been brought down.

Ten minutes later Dunbar robbed a defender then charged forward before playing in Spivey whose finish secured the win.

In VPL1 news Langwarrin lost 1-0 away to North Geelong last weekend.

The decisive moment came in the 74th minute when Sonny Brimmer was on the end of a ball that had bounced over the outstretched leg of Lucas Portelli and he slotted his shot past Langy keeper Griffin Bambach.

In State 1 news controversial decisions and questionable goalkeeping highlighted Mornington’s 2-2 away draw with Springvale White Eagles on Friday night.

Mornington keeper Kane Runge and White Eagles counterpart Thomas Hull had nights they’d rather forget while an assistant linesman played a crucial role in denying Mornington striker Rory Currie from breaking clear on goal from an onside position.

That same official flagged for an infringement in the White Eagles penalty area in the dying moments of the clash that ruled out a Mornington goal from a set piece.

The home side led at half-time after Runge parried a shot into the path of Goran Zoric who finished from point-blank range.

cut out a Ryan Paczkowski cross from the left and James Clark was at the back post to steer the loose ball home.

White Eagles were back in front in the 70th minute after a low shot from outside the area beat Runge’s dive at the near post.

But the Seagulls wouldn’t be denied and seven minutes later Luke Burgess equalised capitalising at the near post from a Paczkowski free-kick.

David Stirton came off the bench for his first run of the season.

Due to work commitments Craig Lewis has stepped down from his role as senior assistant to Mornington head coach Adam Jamieson.

“I have a new job involving a lot of international travel,” Lewis said.

“I’m disappointed because I really enjoyed being with the group and I enjoyed working with ‘Jamo’.”

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers lost 2-0 at Centenary Park on Saturday to promotion rival Bayside Argonauts.

The visitors boast the biggest budget in the league and flexed their financial muscle recently with the capture of Scott Jamieson while fellow Socceroo Bernie Ibini is expected to join him shortly.

Strikers gaffer Scott Morrison had a blunt assessment of the opening exchanges.

“We didn’t show up for the first 25 minutes and we were made to pay because of it,” he said.

The visitors struck in the 4th minute with a superb first-time volley from Liam McKenna and increased the margin in the 19th minute when a Jesse Devers’ cross set up Mitch Cooper for a tap-in at the back post.

Strikers did well to keep their opponent to two goals going into half-time and although the home side had the better of the second half its best chance couldn’t be converted by Riley Anderton who headed wide.

Skye United’s home game against Greater Dandenong on Friday night was abandoned after 24 minutes due to a serious knee injury to one of the visitors’ teenagers.

Play was immediately halted and an ambulance called but after a long wait a private vehicle was driven onto the pitch and the injured player taken to hospital.

In State 3 news

Frankston Pines fought back from 2-0 down to draw level eventually losing

play again.

Aspendale took the lead in the 22nd minute when a slide-rule pass from James Macnab allowed Taylan Yildirim to run onto the ball and finish well.

Aspendale had dominated periods of play in the first half but it was a different story in the second period as Mount Eliza gained more possession and created some good chances.

The home side drew level in the 53rd minute when Callum Drysdale headed home from a corner and from then on it was an end-to-end affair.

The winner came from a lung-bursting run by Aspendale left back Callum Norris who charged forward from inside his own half and into the box before hammering home a firm shot in the 90th minute.

Mujtaba Sakhi, who was recruited during the off-season, has left Mount Eliza and returned to former club White Star Dandenong.

Rosebud sits on top of the table after Saturday’s 5-0 home win over Pakenham United. This one was done and dusted by half-time after goals from Billy Painting, Dougie Cunnison, Caleb Davies and Barney Johnson.

Cunnison scored his sixth penalty this year and for the second successive week it came from a foul that stopped the surging run of man-of-thematch Davies who was a constant threat when running at defenders.

Substitute Jakob Markulin had a great day out rounding off the scoreline in the second half after scoring the reserves’ curtain raiser.

The result sets up an intriguing clash at North Seaford Reserve this weekend against fellow title chaser Seaford United who was held to a 3-3 draw away to Bunyip District on Saturday.

Dion Pavlic put Bunyip 2-0 up early in the contest but Blake Hicks was at the back post to head home from a Paul Aitchison cross and it was 2-2 at half-time after Naseer Mohammad got free to glance his header past Bunyip keeper Jake Biondo.

3-2 to a late goal for home side Sandringham last weekend.

Michael Wright and Sam Delaney scored for Pines who have the chance to get a first win of the season when facing second-bottom side Elwood at Monterey Reserve this Friday night.

In State 5 news former Mount Eliza coach Alex Halikias has been found not guilty of two serious charges laid against him by Football Victoria.

The charges followed the abandonment of the Mount Eliza v Barton United round 5 fixture at Emil Madsen Reserve in April.

Referee Farhad Sharif sent off Halikias and his offence was given an R8.2 grading which covers offences against officials and if proven carries an automatic five-week suspension.

Halikias also faced a more serious charge of bringing the game into disrepute (an MP10 infringement) and if proven the length of suspension is at the tribunal’s discretion.

Halikias consistently disputed referee Sharif’s version of events and feels vindicated by the tribunal decision.

“I think Mount Eliza might have a lot of egg on their face right now because they sacked me without a proper hearing and well before I went up in front of the tribunal,” Halikias said.

Halikias claims that he was unfairly dismissed by Mount Eliza and is expected to seek payment of unpaid coaching fees.

Since Halikias’ departure technical director Gary Talbot and reserves coach Graeme Ferguson have stepped into caretaker roles with the senior squad but that ended last week when former Berwick and Doveton head coach and Mornington assistant Gerry McDonagh was appointed to the senior position.

McDonagh’s first game in charge didn’t go to plan though as Mount Eliza lost 2-1 to Aspendale at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday.

The home side was without number one keeper Luke Armao who is holidaying overseas and found out three hours before the game that its back-up keeper was also unavailable due to work commitments.

Up stepped reserves striker Caleb Best making his senior debut albeit in goal.

The game also marked the return to senior action of Jordan Vacouftsis who entered the fray as a second-half substitute having been sidelined since late last season amid fears that he may not

Ten minutes after the restart Seaford hit the front when Backy Barakzoi’s low shot from outside the area was deflected past Biondo.

But Seaford has conceded late equalisers this season against FC Noble Hurricanes and Barton and history repeated when the visitors didn’t deal with a long throw allowing Tynan North to seal their fate.

Michael Nobbs (overseas for a family wedding), Nathan Meade (on holiday), Sam Luxford (injured) and Josh Vega (work commitments) missed this game but only Nobbs is expected to be unavailable for the Rosebud clash.

Mount Martha celebrated its opening win of the season on Friday night when it beat Cleeland United 5-3 at Thomas P Carroll Reserve. David Jones and Daniel Bancroft both scored twice with Zachary Foad also on the scoresheet for the locals.
