Vacant properties audited Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au NEARLY 18 percent of commercial properties in Frankston’s city centre are vacant, an audit has revealed. Frankston Council audited 563 properties in the Frankston CBD this month. The city centre was found to have a commercial property vacancy rate of 17.8 percent, not inclusive of vacant commercial properties which are vacant land, properties currently

under development, or properties obviously damaged and requiring remediation works. Artworks by Chisholm Institute designs students are being put on display in empty Frankston CBD shopfronts in a bid to make them more attractive. Deputy mayor Liam Hughes said the artwork project would “transform our CBD into a more business-friendly place.” “It provides local students with a great opportunity to showcase their design skills to the broader community while making our city centre a more

vibrant and attractive place to start up a new business. It’s a win for everyone in our community,” he said. Art has been installed in six windows so far. Ten more pieces have been prepared. Chisholm students Syd Gonsalvez, Catie Sharp, Ryan Scott, Zoe Farmer, Kana McHaffie, David Cossigny, Kayla Newton, and Faiqa Omar helped create the artworks. Chisholm Institute chief of education Conor Mullan said “we have a long-term commitment to art and design education, and providing

students with real-world opportunities to put their training into practice.” Frankston Council says that it contributed money towards the decals, approximately $300, and $1700 for the installation. Council CEO Phil Cantillon said the project is part of a wide range of measures taken to fill vacant properties. “Council provides a range of support services to fill vacant shops including assistance with finding a suitable business location – often including introductions to managing real estate

agents as well as extensive direct outreach marketing including cold calls and exhibiting at business expos, to potential business operators, encouraging them to come to Frankston City,” Cantillon said. “Council also provides facade improvement grants - available to both commercial property owners to enhance the appearance of their property as well as existing business operators - and business grants, with $150,000 in façade improvement grants and $179,904 in business grants having been recently awarded to businesses.”

Tax savings for most residents Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au MOST taxpayers in the Dunkley electorate will receive a larger tax cut this year than expected under proposed changes to the federal government’s stage three tax cuts. The changes to the previous Coalition federal government’s legislated stage three tax cuts, which have not yet been implemented, will see those earning less than $135,000 a year retain more of their money in the next financial year. Those earning more than $135,000 will still get a tax cut, but less than originally planned. Labor plans to cut the lowest rate of tax, which applies to the first $45,000 earned by a worker each year, from 19 percent to 16 percent. The new 30 percent tax rate, which was originally set to apply to taxpayers earning between $45,000 and $200,000, will now apply to workers earning between $45,000 and $135,000. The 37 per cent rate which was slated to be scrapped will now be retained to apply to people earning between $135,000 and $190,000. The stage three tax changes will need to pass parliament to be enacted. The tax cuts take effect from 1 July. The federal government estimates that 87 percent of Dunkley taxpayers, or around 63,000 people, will get a larger tax cut under the new proposal. According to the 2021 census, 94,196 out of approximately 128,000 Dunkley residents surveyed earned between $300 and $3000 a week - the majority of them would be better off under changes to the stage three tax

cuts proposed by the federal government. 20,607 people earned up to $299 a week, putting them below the taxfree threshold, and 4948 people earned in excess of $3000 a week. 9285 Dunkley residents earned between $2000 and $3000 - the top earners in that category will remain in the 37 percent tax bracket. A little more than 8600 people surveyed chose not to state their income. In a statement, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the changes would “provide bigger tax cuts for middle Australia to help with cost-of-living, while making our tax system fairer.” “The Albanese Government recognises the economic realities of 2024 - Australians are under pressure right now and deserve a tax cut. Labor’s tax cuts will make a real difference for 13.6 million Australians, ensuring that hard working Australians are keeping more of the wages they earn,” he said. “Scott Morrison’s tax plan was designed five years ago, before the pandemic, before the global inflation spike, before interest rate rises and greater global uncertainty. It doesn’t do enough to help those who’ve been put under the most pressure by these changing circumstances. We have found a more responsible way to ensure more people get a bigger tax cut to help ease the pressure they are under.” The changes are a backflip by Albanese, who promised to implement the legislated tax cuts heading into the 2022 federal election. The upcoming Dunkley by-election could be a crucial test of Albanese’s proposed policy. Labor’s Dunkley candidate Jodie Belyea said the changes are a response to calls to reduce the

cost of living. “Cost of living relief is the number one issue being raised with me in our local community. Low-and middleincome earners want some relief and Labor’s cost of living tax cuts will do exactly that,” she said. “For instance if you earn $95,000 a year, you’ll get a tax cut of over $2000. That’s over $800 more than under Dutton and the Liberals. It means more of your money in your pocket to help pay the bills.” PRIME Minister Anthony Albanese with Dunkley candidate Jodie Belyea in Frankston. Picture: Supplied

Council officers wear cameras FRANKSTON Council officers have begun using body-worn cameras. The cameras were turned on in mid-January. Recorded footage will be stored electronically, and may be shared with investigators. Frankston Council acting CEO Kim Jaensch said that protections had been put in place to prevent the footage from being accessed. “All footage recorded by a body worn camera will be downloaded and stored in a secure electronic location with strict controls, restricted access and protection from unauthorised viewing, copying, alteration, and disclosure. The footage will only be retained for a short period, unless needed as evidence or for another purpose,” she said. “Recorded data may be provided to a third party on the condition that the third party has an official role in investigating and/or prosecuting the incident or as authorised by privacy law.” Jaensch says the cameras will “enhance Picture: Supplied

safety and transparency in our community”. “The cameras will be exclusively used by authorised personnel, such as law enforcement officers, to record interactions between authorised officers and the public, ensuring privacy rights are respected. The technology will be used in a range of scenarios, including public events, routine patrols, in emergency situations, investigating complaints against officers, training, and when de-escalating volatile situations,” she said. “The presence of BWCs can act as a deterrent against offenses and antisocial behaviour, adding an additional layer of protection and facilitating de-escalation. The technology can also provide objective evidence for legal proceedings, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of enforcement processes.” Frankston Council has confirmed the cost of the project will be included on the contract register online within its transparency hub.

DUNKLEY BY-ELECTION

Jets collided before fatal dive - report

I have received a writ issued by The Hon. Milton Dick MP, Speaker of the House of Representatives, for the election of a member of the House of Representatives for the federal electoral division of Dunkley in Victoria. The following dates have been appointed for the purpose of the by-election:

A PRELIMINARY report into an accident between two jet trainer aircraft over Port Phillip, off the coast of Mount Martha, has noted the wings of the aircraft collided during a mid-air manouvre. On 19 November 2023, a pair of SIAI Marchetti S-211 aircraft were conducting an aerobatic formation filming flight when they came into contact, with one of the two aircraft then crashing into the water below, fatally injuring both occupants. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has released the preliminary report which provides factual information from the early evidence gathering phase of the “no blame” transport safety investigation, ATSB chief commissioner Angus Mitchell said. “It does not include any analysis or findings, which will be detailed in the final report we will release at the conclusion of the investigation,” he said. The preliminary report notes the S-211s, both former military aircraft used for pilot training, had left Essendon in what was designated ‘Viper formation’. Viper 1, the lead aircraft, was carrying a pilot and safety pilot, while Viper 2 was carrying a pilot and camera operator. “As discussed in the pre-flight briefing, the pilots’ first planned manoeuvre involved Viper 1 flying inverted, straight and level, so Viper 2 could move alongside it, upright, to then manoeuvre as required to maintain separation and conduct filming,” Mitchell said. During the second attempt at this manoeuvre, when Viper 1 rolled inverted, the pilot of Viper 2 passed below and to the left of Viper 1. “The safety pilot in Viper 1 observed Viper 2

Close of rolls: 8pm Monday 5 February 2024 Close of nominations: 12 midday Thursday 8 February 2024 Voting day: Saturday 2 March 2024 Return of the writ: on or before Wednesday 8 May 2024 For further details go to aec.gov.au/dunkley or call 13 23 26.

Candidate nominations Nominations of candidates for the by-election must be received by the Divisional Returning Officer for Dunkley at 65 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs VIC 3201 before 12 midday Thursday 8 February 2024. Nominations are preferred to be made in an AEC office by appointment. Please call the divisional office on 03 9968 5700 to make an appointment. Nominations must address the requirements in Part XIV of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 and be accompanied by the sum of $2000. For further details of nominations go to aec.gov.au

Enrolment and voting Enrolling and voting in a federal by-election is compulsory.

pass beneath and alerted the pilot of Viper 1 to the manoeuvre,” Mitchell said. “Afterwards, the pilot of Viper 2 advised the pilot of Viper 1 that it provided a good filming opportunity, and asked to repeat it.” After the pilots discussed this manoeuvre, they decided to attempt it again. “On this next attempt, after Viper 2 passed beneath, it began to pitch up and bank away from Viper 1, and the right wings of each aircraft collided,” Mitchell said. Video footage taken from fixed cameras on board Viper 1 showed that as the aircraft collided, the outer right wing structure of Viper 2 immediately failed, with deformation to the forward wing spar and separation of the lower wing skin. The right aileron control system also appeared to be significantly damaged. Witnesses observed Viper 2 hit the water in a near-vertical, nose down attitude. The aircraft was extensively damaged and came to rest on the floor of the bay at a depth of 24 metres. Viper 1 was able to return to Essendon, having sustained only minor damage. “Several impact marks and paint transfers from Viper 2 were present on the upper surface of Viper 1’s right wing, and its landing light cover was shattered,” Mitchell said. As the ATSB’s investigation progresses, it will include consideration of formation flying procedures and practices, further analysis of recorded video and audio, a review of the category of operation, and a range of other investigative activities. Family and friends of the deceased pilot Stephen Gale and James Rose, a skilled cameraman, have been remembered as respected and well liked in their fields.

‘Serious threat’ to foreshore Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A REPORT on the dangers of rising sea levels in Port Phillip Bay should be a call to action, Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns says. The Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment was released earlier this month. The report assessed the damage that rising sea levels could have around Port Phillip by 2100. In the Kingston Council area, the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands between Mordialloc Creek and Patterson River has been identified as an area at most risk. The CSIRO report measured potential damage if sea levels rose by up to 1.4 metres (“Rising sea threatens coastline” The Times 15/1/24). Last week Kingston mayor Jenna

Davey-Burns said that the report would help all levels of government better understand the growing dangers of climate change. “Sea level rise is an obvious and serious threat to our beautiful foreshore, and we have already been very busy in this space. Importantly, this report will allow us to understand more about the complex coastal processes of Port Phillip Bay,” she said. “With the release of this report I join the call for the state government to now step up and do their part and swiftly amend planning schemes to ensure they accurately reflect the known risks. There must be a whole of state response and that requires leadership to ensure a consistent approach is taken. “Among the work we have already done to improve our climate resilience along the foreshore is the installation

of a rock abutment in Carrum, major geotextile barriers in Aspendale, and a variety of other reinforced vegetation barriers as part of stormwater treatment swales and constructed large stormwater outlets in Mentone and Parkdale. The recently constructed life saving and yacht clubs have been designed to allow for the future climate and coastal processes.” The CSIRO report read that in the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands between Mordialloc Creek and Patterson River, that “existing coastal protection structures would not be effective for 1.4 metre sea level rise”. The report also identified the coastline and Patterson Lakes as areas of concern. To read the full report visit marineandcoasts.vic.gov.au/coastal programs/port-phillip-bay-coastalhazard-assessment.

RSPCA Victoria’s low-cost pet vaccination clinic will come to Frankston this week. The event will see RSPCA experts provide affordable check-ups, dog vaccines, and advice on pet behav-

iours. It will take place on Thursday 1 February at the Ballam Park Scout Hall. RSPCA Victoria head of prevention Rebecca Cook said “at our last clinic in Frankston, we met 22 local pets and their owners, and we saw 26 local pets and their owners the last time we visited Carrum Downs.” “By the end of January, we will have held a total of 46 low-cost vaccination events across Melbourne and saved each pet owner at least $50 on average per pet. We want to help people care for their pets by increasing their access to veterinary and preventative care, which supports lifelong bonds among families with their cats and dogs,” Cook said. Dogs can be vaccinated for $59. Due to the nation-wide shortage of the F3 vaccine, cats cannot be vaccinated but will still be checked. Appointments at each clinic must be booked online in advance. To book visit rspcavic.org/vaccinationclinics.

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

SUNDAY

AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR

TEN, 7.30pm

FRIDAY

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

For its ninth season, Australian Survivor is back in Samoa, after two instalments filmed domestically, and heading back to its roots. You will not have spied a famous face in either of the two tribes, with 24 brand new players and “ordinary, everyday Australians” making up the Titans and Rebels. The Titans are overachievers and leaders in their field while the Rebels are those used to forging their own paths, who aren’t scared of breaking a rule or two. Host Jonathan LaPaglia (pictured) is again guiding the players through challenges and tribal councils, while, back at camp they are creating alliances, while individually aiming to “outwit, outplay and outlast” the others.

ABC TV, 7.35pm

Can you believe Gardening Australia will be celebrating its 35th season this year? A staple of the ABC’s Friday night lineup, the infectious energy and glorious beard of host Costa Georgiadis (pictured) has ensured the past few seasons have been among the very best of the show, with a successful spin-off for kids (Gardening Australia Junior) launched last year. Season 35 kicks off with Costa heading north to tour the grounds of Queensland’s incredibly popular Woodford Folk Festival.

SATURDAY

DARBY AND JOAN

ABC TV, 7.30pm

As laconic and laidback as a mystery series could be, Darby and Joan has proven a tremendous showcase for stars Bryan Brown (pictured) and Greta Scacchi, who play retired detective Jack Darby and English nurse Joan Kirkhope. The pair join forces to solve a range of baffling small town mysteries in rural Queensland. Tonight, even a fun occasion like New Year’s Eve turns into a crime to solve for Jack and Joan when a huge blaze breaks out in a pub.

SATURDAY

THE FIFTH ELEMENT

NITV, 8.30pm

Suffice to say French filmmaker Luc Besson likes his characters off-centre; in this case it’s 250 years beyond the present, with a NY cab driver (Bruce Willis) and a mysterious waif (Milla Jovovich) racing against the clock to save the world from evil. The visuals, from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s eccentric costumes to intricately detailed sets and panoramas, are dazzling and plentiful. It’s good versus evil presented with visionary gusto and not just special effects.

BACK TO SCHOOL TIME!

Parking revenue Shame on councillors who backed Potter show As the secretary and active member of the Mornington Peninsula Schools Environment Week for many years, I would like to add my expression of alarm and absolute amazement at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s recent deal with Warner Brother’s Harry Potter Show at The Briars. The current shire councillors have totally disregarded the claim to be an environmentally sensitive council and certainly lack credibility now when it comes to promoting the peninsula as an environmental model in Victoria. What were they thinking when they signed this secret agreement? It has to be related to money grabbing or some grand idea that it would be promoting our shire. The Briars is a special asset for the peninsula and the natural setting as such should be preserved. Our Environment Week teachers and many voluntary helpers were so pleased and proud to be able to run the activities at a special location like The Briars. Over the years we helped students from all schools on the peninsula who benefitted from the many experiences during Environment Week in such a setting. At the time our shire representatives were very involved in the program and appreciated our efforts to promote environmental awareness in the wider community. Our councillors, as a whole, should be ashamed of themselves over this issue and let us hope that they will be more thoughtful when next confronted with an issue that involves a commercial venture conflicting with environmental issues. Terry Boyce, Mount Martha

Move Potter show The Greens Mornington Peninsula branch is aghast at the decision by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to engage with Warner Bros to use The Briars wildlife reserve, the only fenced sanctuary on the peninsula, and home to diverse habitat systems that support endangered species, as a venue for an inappropriate interactive Disney event, expected to have 3000 participants daily from April through to July. There are two startling deviations from the council’s duty of care: 1.This decision shows a lack of adherence by council to commitments articulated in the shire’s policies on protecting flora and fauna and ecologically sensitive sites. This event must be transferred to a different site to be in line with the shire’s biodiversity and conservation policies. 2. Most importantly, we have significant concerns around the lack of consultation and transparency and the secrecy around contractual arrangements with Warner Bros. The nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) councillors were asked to sign during negotiations are an affront to residents. All but two councillors signed these and some information around the event is not on the record for residents to view. It shuts the door in the face of ratepayers, keeping them in the dark. Mitigation statements made by the council are ill-informed and a FoI request has been made to release the risk assessment and impact on environment reports to check the qualifications of those giving that advice. The Greens will target those councillors who signed the NDAs and approved of the event at The Briars. We will join other groups and individuals to oppose this and garner community awareness and support to stop this event occurring at this venue. The Greens Mornington Peninsula denounces this council for this decision that has been undertaken and will actively discourage residents and visitors from purchasing tickets. James Kilby, convenor, The Greens Mornington Peninsula branch

Review shire revenue A few months ago, quite rightly, and with considerable community support, Mornington Peninsula Shire rejected an application to develop a theme park on private property in the hinterland near Cape Schanck on Boneo Road as being inappropriate. In complete contrast, we find the shire, in sworn secrecy behind closed doors, last year agreed to multiple sound and light show night events in the

So now we have to pay to enjoy some time at Mornington Park and at the pier (Fines find their mark at foreshore car parks, The News 23/1/24). Some people are paying but many are going elsewhere. The bus loads that came to the area for a day out and bring business to the Main Street shops won’t happen anymore as buses have to pay as well, and the driver will have to pay for that out of his own pocket. Over the months of December and January, $178,000 in fees and $20,000 in fines have been collected. Where will this money go? Here’s an idea: Put all this cash towards a set of traffic lights so people can enter and exit The Briars without playing the dangerous game of Russian roulette from cars coming down the hill from both directi ons. Greg Cooke, Hastings

wildlife sanctuary at The Briars. Apparently, it was thought pathways through a fenced off forest setting would be an ideal location. This council-approved event will go on every night for two months from April with expected numbers of around 3000 a night. Terrified wildlife which can die from fear, traffic jams at the dangerous Point Nepean/Uralla Road intersection, soil compaction which takes years to recover, are all inevitable - not to mention the nightly disturbance to locals living around The Briars and their equally traumatised pets. Whether you are a rare powerful owl, a wallaby or an elderly retiree in the neighbourhood with a shitzu scared of thunderstorms - fancy having a New Year’s Eve fireworks and light show going off every night for 60 days? The community and many volunteers worked for years in good faith to establish The Briars as a wildlife sanctuary. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of ratepayers’ money was spent on consultants for a management plan and a financial feasibility study - both presumably in operation but now disregarded. Understandably, this decision is a slap in the face. If the shire is in financial trouble, a review of internal operations, pay rates commensurate with performance, contracts and decisions about spending our rates dollars is warranted – not a money grabbing, opportunistic fire sale of a unique and important wildlife sanctuary and community asset like The Briars. Esther Gleixner, Flinders

After raising issues in your article about making Mornington Peninsula roads safer, there has been much public support and many reports to me about our most dangerous local roads (Don’t limit speed cuts - Gill, The News 16/1/24). The answer to improving roads may be a community advocacy campaign to the state government and local MPs who ignore any discussion about speed limits and roadwork funding, especially when in government. All public roads are controlled by the state government, even council designated roads. Council must have government approval for speed changes and all works. This often takes years. In the meantime, the state’s 2023 road death toll was the highest in 15 years. David Gill, councillor Red Hill Ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council

Turn to safety

Change direction

It has taken the Briars Potter show to again highlight the urgent need for improvement at the dangerous intersections of Nepean Highway with Uralla Road and Forest Drive, Mount Martha (Road risks warning over Potter shows. The News 23/1/24). Where is the sensible thought or concern by the state government and or Mornington Peninsula Shire? Do we need fatalities, statistics, to have something seriously done? More than five to six years ago a survey was undertaken by the authorities asking for input to formulate a strategy to improve these intersections. Nothing has happened - maybe a few white lines were painted at the time. That was progress. As for the Uralla Road and The Briars intersections, if only left turns out of these roads were implemented, with some nailed in place kerbs to prevent right turns, this would alleviate gross and dangerous incidents. Still allow right turns from Nepean Highway into these roads. Some delineation with kerbing, as these intersections both ways are at the bottom of quite steep hills change the speed limit to 60kpm, and actively enforce it. None of the above is hard to do or costs a lot of money. I firmly believe it will make those area safer until a more permanent solution is implemented which, at the current authorities’ pace, could be light years away. Do it now. The inconvenience of only being able to turn left is a very small imposition to making an intersection safe. Gerard van de Ven, Mount Martha

We have progressively moved away from a democracy that is rule by the consent of the governed to an elite administrative class that simply passes the baton back and forth; councillors to CEO, CEO to councillors, Liberal to Labor and Labor back to Liberal, with no real accountability. All levels of government have insulated themselves from accountability by their politicised bureaucracies and agencies. A New Left, evident by 1965, rebelled against the restrictions and order that flourished during the flush of manufacturing after WWII. This New Left championed social justice of a nonjudgmental kind and acceptance of minorities, equal recognition and equal self-esteem. It ushered in a sexual cultural liberation accepted by the population, but which today has gone way too far taking fringe element ideology into our schools where it definitely doesn’t belong. It was believed these changes would give freedoms leading to happiness. Instead, these changes have brought division in society of all kinds, insecurity causing anxiety and suicides, and generally great unhappiness. All this indicates society needs a new direction. It is time for a massive decentralisation of power and control. We are intelligent, by nature compassionate and perfectly capable of living together in harmony, accepting of one another’s differences and life choices. The way forward is equal rights for all; special privileges for none. If people think we are living in a democracy, we need to think again. Looking at our council’s secret decision-making behind closed doors, which, until [former Premier Daniel] Andrews changed the rules, wasn’t allowed, is plain evidence we no longer are. From our councils and governments we require impartial decisions for the good of the whole, proper representation, proper accountability with authority going back to consent of the governed. Monica Martini, Mornington

Drivers ‘slow learners’ What an interesting article quoting Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway on battlers struggling to pay fines (Unpaid fines add to ‘disadvantaged’ fines, The News 16/1/24). The quoted “average fine debt” is $13,000. This equates to exceeding the speed limit on 34 occasions and, I believe, gives the lie to Ms Galloway’s claim that her clients “want to do the right thing”. The time to do the right thing is when you’re behind the wheel. Doing the right thing is not endangering others, not putting lives at risk, not imperilling kids on bikes. PCLC’s clients must be mighty slow learners if they don’t get the message after the first couple of fines. Do the crime, pay the fine. Andrew Gibson OAM, Pt Leo

Poo result I’ve seen this many times. Some dog walkers pick up their dog’s poo in a plastic bag. Considerate. Good. But they drop the bag beside the path. Why? Do they think there’s a dog poo fairy who picks it up later? I suggest they train the dog to put the bag in the bin. Why do I write this? Dunno. Will they read it? Nope. Warwick Spinaze, Tootgarook

Act on climate now More and more Australians realise that biodiversity is being lost and climate change is putting life as we know it at risk. In 2023, for example, 144 Australian animals, plants and ecological communities were added to the national endangered species list, five times more than the yearly average and double the previous record year (2009). Eighty threatened species, 20 critically endangered, survive on the Mornington Peninsula. The Australian Conservation Foundation puts the increase down primarily to habitat loss through ongoing land clearing that has escaped ineffective national environment laws. [Federal environment and water minister] Tanya Plibersek has committed to announce stronger laws this year. Given the Mornington Peninsula’s near 200 kilometres of coastline, one correspondent’s concern about sea level rise is valid (Limit climate change, Letters 23/1/24). A new CSIRO report, the Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment, has increased the estimated “upper-end projection” of sea level rise by the year 2100 from 0.8 metres in 2008 to 1.4 metres. The report shows that Dromana and Martha Cove are the most affected in the shire. While some may dismiss the CSIRO report, arguing that 2100 is too far away, a more responsible option is to embrace the cautionary principle and act now. The best action is to stop dumping greenhouse gases into our atmosphere and oceans. The world, including us, must phase out fossil fuels and transition fast to clean renewables. Ray Peck, Hawthorn

Thank you, Des Berry Unsung heroes go around their local communities and get up to all sorts of often dirty and even dangerous jobs such as cleaning off graffiti, removing roadkill, picking up rubbish or dropping discarded containers into recycling bins. I would like to bring readers’ attention to the president of Mount Eliza Association For Environmental Care, Des Berry, who recently resigned due to ill health. His leadership and commitment to Australian flora and fauna in the Mount Eliza community has been outstanding. Mount Eliza’s landscape would have been very much poorer without his stalwart, longterm leadership. He has helped protect our threatened beaches and their approaches, replaced introduced European invasive weeds with Australian flora, and improved the general health of feeder creeks and water catchments. His work with MEAFEC teams on our reserves has been outstanding, including in Ranelagh Estate as well as the Woodland and Kunyung areas. As a member of Mount Eliza-based South Eastern Centre for Sustainability, the other active environmental group in our town, I also speak for the group and our chair, Steven Karakitsos, in recording our appreciation and respect for Des’s contribution to our community over many years. With the stepping down of such an important member of our community, I hope more residents can give of their time and support the two hard-working committees and members to enhance our precious Mount Eliza for future generations. Ian Morrison, convenor, Mount Eliza Community Alliance

Political affiliations It is good to see that Frankston mayor and now candidate for Dunkley has come clean that he is a Liberal. When he runs in the Frankston Council elections he runs as an independent. The Victorian government should have laws that if candidates run for council then they must state very clearly if they are members of political parties. Interest rates will be an issue in the Dunkley by-election and will the Labor candidate Jodie Belyea tell us why Treasurer Jim Chalmers is revoking his power to override the Reserve Bank on interest rate hikes which gives the Reserve Bank and banks a free ride to stop cash and hike interest rates and also tell the Dunkley electorate the fact that Jim Chalmers was once a CEO of the ANZ Bank and that is why he is giving the away his power to intervene in Reserve Bank decisions.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Overhanging trees on road a danger to traffic Compiled by Cameron McCullough “SAFETY first,” is what Mr. M. Jacobs, cab proprietor, believes in. The remark originated owing to the question of cutting the overhanging trees. The matter will come up for discussion probably at the next meeting of the Council. Yesterday Mr. Morris Jacobs, the well known Frankston cab proprietor, called at “The Standard” office and invited the Editor to spare 10 minutes to take a drive along Melbourne Road. Mr. Jacobs’ request was not prompted by anxiety to give the Editor a “breather” from the grind of office routine. He simply wished to demonstrate that cause existed for the complaint he has been voicing for some months past, that the scrub overhanging the highway in question renders vehicular traffic unsafe, and constituted a menace to the general public. Mr. Jacobs was driving his large covered-in cab, and after passing the Honor Avenue, it soon became evident, from a position on the front scat, that the encroaching scrub in places badly required attention. The limbs of some of the trees overhung the road to such an extent that it was impossible to drive Mr. Jacobs’ high-hooded vehicle on that particular side of the road. Mr. Jacobs stated that very frequently he found himself placed in a very awkward and dangerous position owing to the motor traffic. The approaching motorists expected him to give them their fair share of the road, and it was not always possible to do so, owing to overhanging trees. The hood of his vehicle bore many

signs of rough usage, caused by contact with ti-tree. A dangerous spot on the Frankston side of Mile Bridge was noticed where the scrub obscures a proper view of the road. Another dangerous point exists at the junction of Gould Street and the main road. While traversing Gould Street Mr. Jacobs was fortunate enough to meet Cr. Mason, who was out with his motor car. Cr. Mason, while promising to bring Mr. Jacobs’ complaints before the Council, warned him that there would probably be strong opposition on the part of the residents to any proposal to cut back the ti-tree in Gould Street. Mr. Jacobs said that the motor traffic in Gould Street, particularly on Saturdays, was heavy, and the narrow roadway, and vehicles passing at certain points, did so only at the risk of serious accident. Mr. Jacobs indicated that his motto was “safety first,” and he was not at all pleased that the Shire Engineer – to whom he had complained – had not taken action to remove many of the overhanging trees. From what Cr. Mason said, the matter of cutting back the trees will come up for discussion at the next Council meeting. *** MR. Murray, contractor for the fine additions to the Frankston School, was unable to have the rooms ready for occupation at the beginning of the school year. The delay was due to a shortage of special materials, over which Mr. Murray had, no control.

It is expected that the building will be completed early next week. *** AT the Frankston school assembly, after the holidays, the head-master presented the prizes donated by Mr. Robert Fairnie, for dux of grade 6, to Miss Clara Holt. These consisted of a fine gold medal brooch and a valuable Morocco bound volume of A. L. Gordon’s poems. Hearty cheers were given for Mr. Fairnie for his liberality and public spirit, and to the clever winner. *** IT is with deep regret that we as certain that our highly esteemed citizen and friend, Captain S. Sherlock, J.P., recently met with a very serious accident. He had been attending a sick horse, which was well on the road to recovery, when by some means or other the worthy vet received a severe kick, which was both painful and dangerous. We understand, however, that he is making good progress towards recovery. This paper extends its sympathy to him, and prays for his speedy recovery, as we know do all those with whom the kindly disposed gentleman comes in contact. *** THE many friends of Mr. Tom Lawrey, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston, will be sorry to hear that he has been suffering from a very severe attack of ptomaine poisoning. We understand, however, that the worst has been passed, and that he is now on the mend. We wish him a speedy restoration to health.

*** DR. Torpy, of Brisbane, who is on a visit to Victoria, visited Frankston this week. In conversation with a friend, whom he met here, he declared that before leaving Queensland he had been told to make a special trip to the “Fernery,” at Frankston, whilst in Victoria, as it was certainly worth while. Therefore, added the doctor, I came, and am indeed delighted at having done so. As my friend correctly said, the visit was worth while. *** MR. and Mrs. W. Cattanach have been staying at the Tower Golf House, Frankston, have now returned to their home. *** VISCOUNT Leverhulme, of Lever Bros. Ltd., England, who is at present visiting Melbourne, was one of the guests at the “Fernery” on Monday last, on the occasion of the annual picnic of the office staff of J. Kitchen and Sons, Melbourne. The distinguished visitor was loud in his praises of the beautiful surroundings, which even the inclement weather could not mar. *** A DEPUTATION from the Frankston Shire Council waited upon the Chair man of the Railway Commissioners today, to endeavour to get some relief for the passengers who travel by the 5.50 p.m. down train, a full report of which will appear in our next issue. *** DURING the rain storm on Saturday a large iron tank, on the premises of Mr. W. H. O’Grady, burst with a loud explosion. Fortunately no one was near it at the

time, and the only damage done was to the tank and its immediate surroundings. *** ON Monday last people about the Mornington Road were startled by the sound of a loud report, and in these days of unusual happenings, they at once wondered what had occurred. However, upon inquiries being made, it turned out to be nothing worse than a bad blow out of someone’s back tyre. *** A DEPUTATION from the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council waited upon the Minister for Water Supply today, with the object of getting some modification of the load borne by the settlers on the Carrum Swamp. At the time of going to press no report had come through, and it will therefore have to be held over for our Friday’s issue. *** FRIENDS of the Ragged Boys’ Home on Oliver’s Hill will, learn with delight that Mr. Minton has received a great gift towards his work, which will enable him to build one dormitory. The donor does not wish any publicity, at present; hence the large amount cannot be disclosed. The Governor-General has granted his patronage to the movement. Mr. J. B. Jolly, that energetic jolly good fellow, has received the approval of the Board of Control to finalise his effort on behalf of the homes. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 30 Jan & 1 Feb 1924

Dart finds his target, Dromana batters star By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

A MATCH-winning century from Simon Dart proved the difference as Red Hill wrapped up a thrilling final over victory last weekend. Red Hill played Baden Powell at Red Hill Recreation Reserve in oneday cricket. The visitors were sent in to bat first, and put 215 runs on the board. A knock of 91 from 88 deliveries by Rhys Elmi was the highlight of Baden Powell’s innings. Opener Travis Kellerman also scored 66 from 87 before being dismissed by Dart. After Red Hill fell to 2/33, Simon Dart came in and dominated. He scored an unbeaten 106 at a run a ball. Time was working against Red Hill, but they managed to stay in contention. A late knock of 34 from 24 by Glenn Collett and a boundary by vicecaptain Brent Martin helped drag them to victory. Red Hill hit the winning runs with just one ball left to spare. Langwarrin’s 168 runs proved enough to beat Heatherhill last weekend. Heatherhill’s run chase got off to a poor start when opener Neil Barfuss was dismissed for a golden duck. The wickets of the top three batters were taken off the bowling of Trav Campbell. After 40 overs Heatherhill ended up on 8/150. Sorrento scored a 28 run win at home against Pines on Sunday. Old

BOBBY Wilson and Sam Fowler combined for a brilliant 206 run partnership last Sunday to help Dromana defeat Seaford Tigers. Dromana batted first and set the Tigers a mammoth target to reach. Opener Sam Fowler scored 90 from

101 deliveries and first drop batter Wilson scored 124 from 98. Dromana scored 259 from their 40 overs. The Tigers were valiant in defeat. They managed to put 207 runs on the board, but were eventually bowled out. Bobby Wilson backed up his batting with figures of 3/28. Somerville were dominant nine-

A BRAVE knock of 91 by Blake Hogan-Keogh wasn’t quite enough for his Crib Point side to get the win over Carrum. Carrum batted first on Sunday and made a big impact. Off the back of half-centuries from openers Josh Dent and Shaun Foster, Carrum went on to score 3/223. Crib Point worked hard, but couldn’t complete the run chase. Blake HoganKeogh and Tyler Wilton did their best, but ended up falling 38 runs short. Carrum Downs bowled brilliantly to defend a total of 158 on Sunday. The Cougars bowled Balnarring out for 92.

RYE picked up a big win over Boneo last weekend. Rye opener Nathan Hunt starred for his side, scoring 111 runs. He hit 15 boundaries - four of them sixes. Rye went on to score 239 runs. They wrapped up the win by bowling Boneo out for 144. Mt Martha took just 17 overs to chase down Frankston YCW’s target of 113 last weekend. Ballam Park also had little trouble chasing down Skye’s total of 127. A 118-run partnership between Tootgarook batters Travis French and Matthew Whelan secured them a nine-wicket win over Tyabb. Hastings beat Pearcedale by 53 runs away from home to close out the round.

THE final round of the home-andaway season in the women’s division will take place this Sunday. After a one week break, Mt Eliza hosts Delacombe Park at Emil Madsen Reserve.

Major makeover at Monterey SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie IT’S the largest senior squad makeover on the peninsula and the Donn Delaney revolution at Frankston Pines continues apace. The former Peninsula Strikers head man has confronted a huge player exodus at Monterey Reserve and has responded with a recruitment drive the size of which is rarely seen in local ranks. So far 19 players from other clubs have been brought into the senior squad and there will be more. “The squad is by no means finalised,” Delaney said. “But I’ve been really impressed so far and the club has been very welcoming and inclusive of everyone who has come here. “Lee (Davies, club president) is very keen to start something sustainable and community focused and it’s a joy to be a part of it. “I’m feeling the pressure to do this club proud.” One of Delaney’s biggest signings so far is 23-year-old striker Ardi Ahmeti who has an impressive NPL background at both junior and senior levels. His CV outlines his four seasons as a junior with South Melbourne. Of Kosovan background Ahmeti has trained with the Kosovan under16s and in his late teens went to Portugal where he signed a contract with AD Oliveirense. A loan spell with FC Boca Gibraltar followed until COVID hit prompting his return to Australia. He signed a one-year deal with Eastern Lions before stints with Dandenong City and North Sunshine Eagles. Ahmeti took time off from the sport to go on holiday last year until close friend Deniz Karabadzak convinced him to give Pines a try. “I was sceptical at first because I didn’t think Pines was in a good position as a club but I trust Deniz and he explained that there was a good environment there and there were good people at the club which is the most important thing. “I went down there and from the first session I liked it.” So much so that Ahmeti convinced goalkeeper Kadir Puric, defender Alan Fogel and midfielder Mehdi Hussaini to join him at Monterey Reserve. Hussaini, 27, was with Rowville Eagles last season having previously played with Brandon Park and Hume United.

And for Pines fans wondering how the club will fare following last season’s relegation to State 3 Ahmeti has very encouraging news. “I have full belief that this club can get promoted and I have full belief in Donn,” Ahmeti said. “I think we only need a couple more recruits then what happens this season will be in our own hands but I’m very confident that we can do well.” Here is the current senior squad (new players have their most recent club in brackets): GOALKEEPERS: Kadir Puric (Waverley Wanderers), Enzo Spinelli (Mount Eliza). DEFENDERS: Marcelo Burgos (Keysborough), Deniz Karabadjak, Brody Varas, Alexis Andrade (Alianza Petrolera FC, Colombia), Alan Fogel (Port Melbourne Sharks), Bryce Ruthven (Mount Eliza), Tom Kandilas (Kingston City), Gabrielle Duque, Joshua Koncha. MIDFIELDERS: Calvin Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Samuel Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Callum Bradbury (Peninsula Strikers), David Popa (Mount Eliza), Yodish Jagatheson (Mount Eliza), Jack Bradbury (Peninsula Strikers), Junior Mpota (Peninsula Strikers), Reshad Nahimzada (Mazenod), Medhi Hus-

saini (Rowville Eagles). FORWARDS: Cassius Delaney (Peninsula Strikers), Abraham Koul (Peninsula Strikers), Ardi Ahmeti (North Sunshine Eagles). Pines lost 3-1 to Chelsea at Monterey Reserve last week as the State 4 visitors continued their impressive pre-season form. Ahmeti and a few of his teammates were recovering from injury and sat this one out as Chelsea’s English striker James Stinson continued to impress with another double. He’s now scored five goals in three pre-season games. Jake Ross, another recent recruit, also scored against Pines who replied through Sam Delaney. Teenage Chelsea winger Kirsten Murray really caught the eye. A product of the club’s junior program Murray played wide on the right and was effective. “He’s only 16 and he’s got tremendous pace,” Chelsea head coach Gus Macleod said. “I’m encouraging him to take people on and he’s definitely one for the future.” In VPL1 news Langwarrin has released midfielders Jin Jeong and Carlos Abboud while Kameel Khan, Owen

Murphy and Allen Dzemidzic have been promoted to the senior squad. Khan and Murphy were in the under21s last season. Dzemidzic left Langy and joined Oakleigh Cannons last season where he took out the league’s Golden Boot honours at Under-21 level. In State 5 news Rosebud has resigned star defender Dougie Cunnison. The former Keilor Park captain and Clifton Hill player is expected to form a central defensive partnership with Billy Painting who was recruited from Skye United. Last week the draw for round 1 of the 2024 Australian Cup was live streamed on Football Victoria’s Facebook page. The preliminary rounds of the national competition have been renamed the Dockerty Cup in Victoria and round 1 involved State 3, 4 and 5 teams with ties to be played on the weekend of 10/11 February.

Somerville Eagles and Frankston Pines were given first round byes and enter the Cup at the second preliminary round stage.
