Work begins on foreshore accessibility

A PILOT program is aiming to make Frankston Beach the most accessible in the country. Beach matting and other accessibility measures will be installed over the next year to improve beach access for people living with disabilities. The project has been led by Accessible Beaches Australia founder Shane Hryhorec (pictured left). See story page 5. Picture: Supplied

Council confirms care cuts

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

FRANKSTON Council will cease offering multiple in-home support programs from next year.

Council has confirmed that it will transition clients currently accessing the cut services to external providers by 30 June, 2026. Services set to be phased out by Frankston Council are personal care, domestic assistance including house cleaning and unescorted shopping, respite care, Home

and Community Care Program for Younger People assessment services, meals on wheels and delivered meals for HACC-PYP clients only, home maintenance and modifications including gutter cleaning, flexible service response, and social support individual (escorted shopping).

The decision was made days before the federal government’s swathe of aged care reforms were put into action. The new Aged Care Act became effective on 1 November, complete with major changes to aged care funding. Each person that was on a

Home Care Package will be moved to the federal government’s new “Support at Home” program.

Frankston Council’s decision was made in the confidential section of councillors’ 27 October meeting.

Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said in a statement that the changes would allow council to continue running its meals on wheels for elderly residents, group social support outings program, and community transport service.

“Everyone will receive personalised support as we move through

this transition. While some councils have exited all service provision, Frankston City Council remains deeply committed to safeguarding essential programs like meals on wheels, while ensuring our city continues to deliver quality services and facilities for residents of all ages, abilities and interests,” Bolam said.

“This was not an easy decision, but it’s the right one for our community’s future. The reality is that the current funding model no longer covers the true cost of delivering these services, leaving local councils to fill the gap.

For Frankston, that means ratepayers are funding a growing shortfall each year, a position that’s not financially responsible or sustainable over the long term.

“Our role is to ensure every ratepayer dollar is used where it delivers the greatest benefit, supporting the most people, in the most effective way. By adopting a shared delivery model, we can continue providing essential care while ensuring fairness and sustainability across all council services, facilities and initiatives.”

In-home support service changes set for next year

Continued from page 1

Frankston Council began community consultation on the future of its care services in February. Its final report revealed that of 957 respondents, 588 said that council should “provide all community care services using council employees”. (“Council reviews elderly support services”

The Times 15/9/2025)

Cr Bolam says that council will set up a “dedicated Community Care Advocacy and Navigation Service” by next April to help connect residents with local providers and provide information.

“Council has proudly supported older residents for more than 40

years, and we’ll continue to play a meaningful role into the future, albeit in a more fiscally responsible capacity,” he said. “This decision allows us to protect what matters most – keeping people connected, supported and cared for close to home – while ensuring our city’s resources are managed responsibly for the benefit of every resident.”

In a statement, Frankston Council said its decision “aligns with national aged care reforms that are transforming how services are funded and delivered across Australia.”

“All clients and staff have been personally notified of council’s decision, with detailed information

provided on what it means for their services or roles. Staff will be supported through this change, including opportunities for redeployment and upskilling. A dedicated community care transition team has been established to guide clients through the process, and all affected staff are being supported through internal redeployment opportunities and sector transition pathways,” Frankston Council says.

Surplus keeps council plan ‘on track’

FRANKSTON Council posted a surplus of nearly $16 million in the last financial year, its 2024/2025 annual report has revealed.

A final surplus of $15.871 million was posted by Frankston Council. A message from Frankston mayor Kris Bolam and interim council CEO Cam Arullanantham in the annual report read that “despite pressures from rate capping, inflation and reduced external funding, 98 per cent of Council Plan actions were delivered or are on track.”

“This year saw the completion of major projects such as the Kananook Car Park, new and upgraded early years facilities, pavilion redevelopments and play space improvements. We have also shifted our focus towards smaller, community-based upgrades that spread investment across the city and deliver sustainable outcomes, such as the renewal of the Langwarrin Community Centre and Early Years project,” they said. “Our advocacy has secured $75 million in federal commitments and further state funding for upcoming local projects – ensuring con-

tinued investment in Frankston City’s future.

“Alongside these builds, we have strengthened the heart of our city. The adoption of the Young Street Action Plan is transforming our busiest gateway with enhanced safety, cleaner streetscapes and landscaping, as well as support for local traders. The launch of the Community Connectors program at Frankston Station is providing empathetic, on-the-ground support for people experiencing complex challenges. And the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre Structure Plan, now embedded in the Planning Scheme, sets a clear 20-year vision for housing, jobs, open spaces and sustainability.”

The annual report noted that the 2024/2025 surplus “compares unfavourably to the surplus of $32.620 million in 2023/2024”. The report read “that result was influenced by higher nonmonetary contributions related to the Sandhurst Estate formal asset transfer.”

Beach accessibility a focus

BEACH matting for wheelchairs will soon be rolled out across Frankston Beach as part of a push to make the foreshore the most accessible in the country.

The pilot program is being undertaken by Accessible Beaches Australia and Frankston Council. Measures set to be taken at Frankston Beach by summer 2026 include the installation of accessible beach matting, beach wheelchairs, bookable day beds, designated drop-off zones, and the addition of staff to help people in and out

of the water.

Accessible Beaches Australia founder Shane Hryhorec said he hopes that Frankston will be the first beach of many to adopt the accessibility measures.

“This is going to change the story for people with disability,” Hryhorec said. “I visited Antibes in France last year — one of the most accessible beaches in the world — and now we’re trialling that same model here in Frankston. If it works, we’ll replicate it across the country.”

Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said “our beach is our greatest asset. We have more than 30,000 residents identifying with disability, and we’re determined to make sure everyone can enjoy this space.

“Partnering with Accessible Beaches and local stakeholders brings us closer to becoming Australia’s most inclusive beach.”

The ABA receives funding support from Equity Trustees and the Victoria Magistrates Court Fund for its projects.

Author strives for inclusion for all

A FRANKSTON author is shining a light on neurodiversity and how to support children with additional learning needs with a new book series.

Anne Vize has published the Inclusive Education book series throughout this year. Vize says the series was written “to provide practical insights and straight forward information on autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and communication needs. They focus on what we know works, and importantly they also dispel myths and misunderstandings which can cloud judgement and make it harder for children to learn and thrive.”

Vize says that writing the series

has been “a wonderful opportunity to learn about inclusive education around the world, finding out about evidence-based strategies which work well in schools.”

“It’s also been positive for our own Frankston and Mornington Peninsula community, showing that educational writing and publishing is a vibrant and important part of our local economy,” Vize said. “Going forward, I dream of a time when we no longer talk about inclusion, but instead simply talk about education for all children.”

The books have been sold across Australia, New Zealand, and as far as Ireland. For more information visit annevizewriting.com

Police hurt in ramming

TWO police officers were hurt when a car allegedly rammed into their police vehicle numerous times in Sandhurst in the early hours of 30 October.

Police say they saw two men running after an alleged aggravated burglary at a house on Ethereal Way at about 1am, before getting into a white Ford Ranger. Police followed the car into Toporoa Court, where they parked behind the car once it pulled into a driveway.

The Ford driver allegedly drove back and forward into the police car and garage. The passenger fled on foot and the driver drove off towards Wodalla Circuit.

A senior constable was taken to hospital with non-life-threateninginjuries, and an acting sergeant suffered minor injuries.

A 20-year-old Frankston North man was arrested on 31 October and charged with two counts of aggravated intentional exposure of police officer to risk by driving, assault police, recklessly cause injury, assault with weapon, reckless conduct endangering life, theft of motor vehicle and aggravated burglary. He appeared before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody to reappear on 6 February.

Police are still searching for the second alleged offender.

Alleged extortion investigated

A FRANKSTON South man has been charged in relation to an alleged $6.6 million extortion of a construction company.

In a statement Victoria Police said that in October last year, alleged perpetrators “falsely claimed to have acted as mediators between the company and union officials, purporting to have negotiated on their behalf to prevent disruptions at the company’s building sites. The company was then sent an invoice for $6.6 million and allegedly extorted.”

On 29 October a 44-year-old man from Frankston South was arrested and charged with extortion and refuse to comply with a data access order. He was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 5 November.

On 24 October, police charged three other men in relation to the matter. A 51-year-old Melbourne man, a 45-year-old Southbank man, and a 45-year-old Hillside man were each charged with extortion and refuse to

comply with a data access order. The Southbank man was also charged with attempt to obtain property by deception. The trio was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 20 January.

The investigation was undertaken by Taskforce Hawk. Victoria Police says “Taskforce Hawk is focused on assessing new intelligence and evidence relating to allegations of criminal behaviour linked to the construction industry.

“It also continues to proactively target organised crime associated with the sector, including a focus on any individuals employed within the construction industry who have known links to outlaw motorcycle gangs. Police are also instigating approaches with relevant industry stakeholders to gather intelligence, as well as working closely with a range of law enforcement partners, regulators and government authorities.”

Kingston and Frankston sign council partnership

FRANKSTON and Kingston Councils have signed an agreement to meet regularly and collaborate on future projects.

The “Nepean Partnership” was officially signed off by Frankston and Kingston councillors at their respective public meetings last week. The proposed partnership originally included the Mornington Peninsula Shire, which ultimately declined to sign up amid a bitter fallout with Frankston Council (“Canberra trip sparks conflict” The Times 26/8/2025).

A report on the partnership prepared by Frankston Council officers read that “decisions and communications are to be made collaboratively, ensuring transparency and shared ownership of outcomes.”

“A Partnership Steering Group, comprising each council’s mayor, CEO and key officers, will oversee implementation and progress,” the report read. “The steering group will meet quarterly, with secretariat duties rotating annually between the councils. Both councillor groups and executive teams will meet annually to review progress and endorse future priorities.”

The partnership proposal has been championed by Frankston mayor Kris Bolam, who said “we know whenever there’s a change of government, or there’s a swing against the government, the sand belt of the south-east metro region of Melbourne is where it happens. I think strategically being allied with a council that runs along that Nepean stretch is politically and strategically advantageous.”

“Governments are giving less and less money to local councils, and we need to pool and we need to advocate together with other councils,” Bolam said. “I’m delighted that our Kingston colleagues can see the benefits of this relationship and I appreciate councillors’ support in finalising this agreement. I think it’s a good thing and in time I’m sure it’ll take many new forms, but this is a start and the task now is to make it work.”

All but two Kingston councillors voted to sign off on the partnership. Cr Sarah O’Donnell, who spoke in favour of the proposal, said “I’m a strong believer that many hands make light work.

“There is absolutely no fallout and there is no financial obligation. It is a promise to each other that we will work together to find the best outcomes,” she said. “When we work together to resolve issues we will be so much more successful. So when we are looking at our next door neighbors down the beach, let’s lead by example. Let’s show Bayside and Mornington Peninsula that you guys can come on board.”

Frankston Council’s report noted that the “Nepean Partnership Agreement does not create a legally binding relationship between the participating councils.

“Councils must ensure that all collaboration, information sharing and joint advocacy occur within the legislative framework governing confidentiality, conflicts of interest, procurement, and the use of public resources. Any future shared projects arising from the partnership that involve funding, service delivery or asset ownership would require separate, legally binding agreements endorsed by each council.”

Urgent delivery goes smoothly

CARLA Atkins’ first child, Genevieve, came into the world in unusual circumstances earlier this year. Last week the happy family reunited with the paramedics who helped deliver the child on the side of the road.

On 27 March, the Carrum Downs mother went into labour. Things progressed quickly, prompting a call to 000 to help get her to hospital.

Paramedics soon arrived to take Atkins to hospital to deliver her baby. Young Genevieve wasn’t so keen to wait though - the ambulance ended up pulling over on the side of the road so the baby could be safely delivered in the back.

Ambulance Victoria paramedics Tenesha Johnson and Alex McLay rose to the challenge to safely deliver the newborn into the world. Johnson said “we were about four minutes from hospital and she started grunting and suddenly the baby’s head was right there. I pulled the ambulance over on the side of the road and Carla ended up having her baby very quickly.”

Genevieve was born without complications. Atkins said “it was a very fast and unexpected delivery. I thought I’d have 24 hours of labour ahead of me. If I’d known she was half an hour away, I wouldn’t have complained as much about the pain.”

Last week Atkins and her family reunited with the paramedics and thanked them for their help. “It was special for all of us – my first child and both Tenesha and Alex’s first childbirth as paramedics. For them to be part of the start of her life is very special for us,” Atkins said.

“Thank you to them both for their patience and understanding. They were extremely calming for me. I’m so grateful they were there and that everything went so smoothly. Genevieve always has a smile on her face, and she sleeps through the night. She is a dream baby.”

Please join our Board of Directors, senior management and community members to celebrate the achievements of the last year, and have your say about the future of your local hospital.

KINGSTON Council is calling for the state government to provide more support for life saving groups.

Water safety has been at the front of mind for many after two people died in the water at Frankston and one is presumed to have died in Mornington during a wild storm last month. At Kingston Council’s 27 October meeting, councillors voted to advocate for the state government to “provide immediate funding for paid lifesavers at Carrum to enhance public safety during the peak summer season” and “recognise Life Saving and Paid Lifeguards under the Emergency Service and Volunteer Fund to provide an ongoing funding source for paid lifeguards at LSV identified key locations.”

Crs Sarah O’Donnell and Caroline White each donned life saver uniforms at council’s October meeting in support of the proposal.

Paulie Stewart – Tales from a rock-n-roll life

By Cameron McCullough

PAULIE Stewart has a lot of stories

to tell, and he is heading to Frankston Library next week as part of AusMusic Month for an afternoon of tales and music.

Stewart, perhaps best known as frontman of the infamous Painters & Dockers, will shares stories from his tell-all memoir All the Rage accompanied by a guitarist bringing the soundtrack to his incredible journey.

From an angry young man reeling from the loss of his older brother; one of the Balibo 5 journalists murdered in East Timor in 1975, Stewart fell into music, and became synonymous with the irreverence that was the Painters and Dockers. A band that unapologetically put the Australian music scene on notice.

Stewart has had a life of breadth, with some challenges; formed by his experiences.

“Times have changed so much,” said Stewart. “I really feel for young artists these days.”

“We were lucky, and I guess we still are. When we do a gig these days, it is like a school reunion. All that energy, with 50-year-olds crowd surfing!”.

The loss of his brother was formative for Stewart, who has always believed political activism is an intrinsic part of who he is.

It has manifested with a deep belief in the cause of the Timor-Leste people, that lead to his other famous musical collaboration, The Dilli Allstars.

Closer to home, he is passionate about the cause of indigenous rights

and reconciliation.

“It hit me right from the word go,” said Stewart. “Music isn’t just about entertaining a crowd, but it is a platform for sending out a message.”

He believes times have changed, and these days bands are much more careful about courting controversy, but it has never fazed Stewart.

His journey has not been without

its challenges. He has carried the enduring burden of losing his brother so senselessly all those years ago and has battled health problems including extensive hospitalisation culminating in a liver transplant in 2007.

There has also been vast recognition of his achievements including being awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2020 for “service to the com-

munity, and to the performing arts”.

It was during covid that he decided to put pen to paper and write about his incredible journey. The result was his book “All the Rage”.

His talk at Frankston Library will be, in the words of Stewart, “about everything, really”. An amazing journey of achievement, resilience, with a little sprinkling of mischief.

Paulie Stewart will be at Frankston Library on Sunday, 9 November 2025 | 01:00 PM - 02:30 PM. 60 Playne Street, Frankston. The event is free but ticketed. Book tickets at: library.frankston.vic.gov. au/Whats-On/Sunday-Session-withPaulie-Stewart

The VC winner who lies at Frankston cemetery

GEORGE MORBY INGRAM was born in Bendigo in 1889, but lived much of his life in Hastings. He died in 1961 and is buried in Frankston cemetery.

On 4 October 1918, the 24th Battalion took part in the attack that captured the Beaurevoir sector in France.

The battalion was expecting to have a rest the following day when the unit was unexpectedly ordered to take part in another attack.

The assault was to start at 6.05am from the village of Remicourt, and lead to the capture of Montbrehain by the 21st and 24th Battalions with tanks to provide support. The action was to prove the final engagement for the Australian infantry during the war, and it was during the attack that Ingram was to earn the Victoria Cross; the 64th and final Australian to do so during the First World War.

At the designated time, the two infantry battalions started the attack under cover of an artillery barrage. The advance was heavily counter-attacked by German machine gun and artillery fire, but the Australians managed to continue despite the late arrival of the tanks.

About 100 yards (90 metres) from the German trenches, the 24th Battalion’s B Company – in which Ingram was commanding a platoon – became the object of severe sniper and machine gun fire, halting the unit’s advance.

Under the cover of a Lewis gun, Ingram dashed ahead of his men and led them against the German strong point. After a fierce fight, the platoon succeeded in capturing nine

machine guns and killing all 42 Germans who had occupied the line; Ingram accounting for at least 18 enemy.

Soon after, the company came under heavy fire from an old quarry occupied by more than 100 German soldiers with as many as 40 machine guns.

Severe casualties were sustained as they began to advance for attack, including the company commander who was seriously wounded. Taking command, Ingram rallied the men and rushed forward.

Jumping into the quarry, he charged the first post himself, shooting six German soldiers and capturing a machine gun. The German forces were soon overcome, and 30 troops subsequently surrendered.

While his men were clearing up the remaining German positions, Ingram scouted ahead in search of machine gun nests in the village.

He soon located one positioned in a house, which had been firing through the cellar ventilator. Managing to enter the house, he shot the gunner through the ventilator. He fired several more shots into the cellar before rushing to the head of the cellar stairs. By cutting off any means of escape, a further 30 Germans were taken prisoner.

The battle for Montbrehain raged until 8pm that night, during which time the line had been linked up and consolidated. The casualties of the 24th Battalion had been so high that two companies of the 27th Battalion had to be attached for support; the 24th Battalion left the front line for the last time on 6 October.

This Remembrance Day, we remember the sacrifices made by our defence force personnel At 11am on 11th of November we mark a minute silence to pay our respect

Lest We Forget

The full citation for Ingram’s Victoria Cross appeared in a supplement to the London Gazette on 6 January 1919:

War Office, 6th January, 1919.

His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to approve of the award of the Victoria Cross to the undermentioned Officers, Noncommissioned Officers and Men: — Lt. George Morby Ingram, M.M., 24th Bn., A.I.F.

For most conspicuous bravery and initiative during the attack on Montbrehain, East of Peronne, on 5th October, 1918. When early in the advance his platoon was held up by a strong point, Lt. Ingram, without hesitation, dashed out and rushed the post at the head of his men, capturing nine machine guns and killing 42 enemy after stubborn resistance.

Later, when the company had suffered severe casualties from enemy posts, and many leaders had fallen, he at once took control of the situation, rallied his men under intense fire, and led them forward. He himself rushed the first post, shot six of the enemy, and captured a machine gun, thus overcoming serious resistance.

On two subsequent occasions he again displayed great dash and resource in the capture of enemy posts, inflicting many casualties and taking 62 prisoners.

Throughout the whole day he showed the most inspiring example of courage and leadership, and freely exposed himself regardless of danger.

A time to stop and remember

AT the stroke of the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of this year, we will stand in silence.

Deliberate silence is not something our modern society is acquainted with. Notifications constantly ping on our phones, cars rev on our roads, and customers chat away in our cafes.

Remembrance Day provides us with an opportunity to stop, reflect, and remember those who served and died in wars, conflicts, and peace operations at home and abroad.

According to the Australian War Memorial, 416,809 Australians served in the First World War with 112,399 being Victorians. Over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner. In the Second World War, 990,900 Australians served, including 205,758 Victorians. Over 39,000 gave their lives and 30,000 were taken prisoner.

In my electorate of the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, over 12,000 Australians were enlisted.

These Australians surrendered their lives to give us a life free from dictatorship and tyranny, and their sacrifice afforded many rights and privileges. Giving up one’s own life is the greatest act of love.

Philosopher George Satanya once noted that ‘those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it’.

Together, we must ensure that future generations never forget the facts and lessons in history.

Parents should read history books to their children and governments should prioritise war history and its complex context and issues as a key part of our curriculum.

We must judiciously respect the institutions that our troops served under and died for, including our national flag, our constitutional monarchy, and our parliamentary democracy. If these institutions are eroded, we will fail our fallen.

So, on this Remembrance Day, I encourage you to bring your family members to a local ceremony to participate in the moment of silence, watch the flags be lowered, listen to the bugle play and sing the National Anthem with pride as we remember.

Lest We Forget.

Ann-Marie Hermans MP Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region. Shadow Assistant Minister for Education

Frankston orphan killed at Gallipoli

ARTHUR Ernest Bolger joined the Australian Imperial Force on 2 November, 1914. He was born in Carlton in 1893 and was given up for adoption soon after he was born. He was sent to the Ragged Boys’ Home in Frankston, which was a place for underprivileged orphan boys. When the boys’ home was shut down in 1901, he was adopted by Charlotte and Matthew Bolger of Frankston residents.

Charlotte Bolger was the former matron of the boys’ home who had cared for Bolger since he was six weeks old.

After completing his schooling in Frankston, Bolger got a job as a labourer. He never married and was single when he enlisted and went to war. He joined the AIF at Warragul on 2 November 1914 and passed all physical tests. He enlisted as a private in the 14th Battalion. Bolger embarked for Gallipoli on board HMAT Berrima on 22 December the same year. He was serving near Quinn’s Post at Gallipoli when he was killed in action on 27 April 1915, two days after the landing.

On that fateful day, Bolger was in one of two companies of the battalion lead by Major John Adams that were sent to Quinn’s Post. At arrival, the commanding officer was shot and severely wounded by Turkish machine gun fire.

Returning fire was futile as the Turks were well concealed in the ‘dig-ins’ of the rough terrain. Twenty-seven men lost their lives in the battle, nearly a third of the men of the 14th Battalion, including Arthur.

Just after midnight, Chaplain Frederick Wray made his way up to Quinn’s Post and buried the 27 dead soldiers in the cold and dark, at the Quinn’s Post Cemetery.

Arthur Bolger was 21.

Charlotte Bolger received Arthur’s war medals and certificate of death since she was his only next of kin.

She was advised that a special memorial would be erected at Quinn’s Post with the inscription “Believed to be buried at this cemetery. He gave God’s greatest gift to man; his life.”

Ultimate sacrifice: Above right, Arthur Ernest Bolger and, above, HMAT Berrima, the troopship that took Bolger to war.

Hellhole: Above and right, Quinn’s Post, where Arthur Bolger was killed two days after the first landing at Gallipoli.

Palais Annual Ball - Hall Beautifully Decorated

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

AN outstanding feature of the annual Palais ball, held last Friday evening, was the magnificent decorations.

Never before had such an elaborate decorative scheme been attempted in Frankston, and the effort speaks volumes for the enterprise and enthusiasm of the Palais management.

From the centre of the ceiling to the four walls of the building were ropes of pink flowers, joined up with lattice work, bearing rose leaves, red roses and poppies. The effect was very beautiful, and won the admiration of all beholders.

The floor had been specially prepared for dancing, and proved a delight to devotees of the terpsichorean art.

The Palais orchestra provided firstclass music. Pupils of Miss Vesper gave a very attractive exhibition of dancing. The little girls, in their butterfly dresses, made a very attractive sight, and they displayed excellent talent.

The girls taking part were:Misses Hazel Ives (solo dance), Gladys McCulloch, C. Shepherd, D. Nolan, A. Hill, and M. Thomas. At the conclusion of their dances they were loudly applauded.

The Traders’ set attracted a great deal of attention, and received first prize. Mr. Hiscock represented McAlpin’s Flour; Miss Hiscock, Silver Star Starch; Mrs. Nolan represented that well-known slogan “Eat More Fruit”; Mr. J. Nolan, Rex Pie; Mr. C. Parnell, Big Ben Clocks; Miss R. Nolan, Nadco Dyes. Mr. Stevens, as a baker, represented the well-known bakery firm of W. Hopkins & Sons; Miss Francis

Nolan, Hoadley’s Chocolates. Others in fancy costume were Miss G. Woodward, Mr. Sinclair, Master Ivan Bell and Miss Logan (Spanish Couple), Miss Grace Morris and Miss Kathleen Parsons as Pierrettes.

The catering was carried out on a lavish scale by “The Tangerine.” ***

A VERY pleasant time was spent at the Mt. Eliza hall on Wednesday evening of last week, the occasion being a social meeting of the congregation for funds of the local church, St. James the Less.

Friends from Mornington and Frankston contributed songs which were much appreciated.

The Rev. Brooksbank as chairman, was all that could be desired.

In a short address he informed those present the church had now been erected 60 years, but for further particulars they must attend the anniversary service the following Sunday.

A liberal response was made at a collection taken up in the hall, the funds benefitting to the extent of £2/18/3.

Tea and refreshments were handed round and a very pleasant evening was brought to a close.

The 60th anniversary service was conducted by the Rev. Brooksbank on Sunday, 25th ult., before a large congregation.

in the church.

The church was beautifully decorated with palms and flowers kindly lent by Mr. Bradbury.

A startling development in wireless has been achieved by the popular proprietor of the Music and Phono Parlors (Mr. E. P. Davies), Bay street, Frankston.

His new semi-neutrodyne set has caused very favourable comment in wireless circles.

Cheers were given to Mr. Davies for the delightful demonstration.

So far this is undoubtedly the finest wireless set yet introduced into the district, and Mr. Davies is always pleased to demonstrate this truly remarkable machine to intending patrons.

By Brodie Cowburn

PROV INCIAL

Red Hill was sent in to bat first on their home deck. They had a few misfires with the bat, and ended up all out for 161 shortly before the scheduled close of their innings.

Luke Jackson scored a vital 68 for Red Hill. He made amends for skipper Glenn Collett’s dismal for one and Simon Dart’s dismissal for

Sorrento’s batters failed to convert their good starts into big totals, keeping Red Hill in the game. They eventually fell to 9/158, needing another three runs to win with just a few balls remaining.

Henry Squire and Zac Wood got the job done for the Sharks, locking up the one-wicket win on the final delivery of the day.

Dromana enjoyed a good win on Saturday, beating Heatherhill in one-day action.

Alessio Izzo chases Thai dream

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

SOMERVILLE Eagles attacking midfielder Alessio Izzo flies to Thailand in a fortnight for a professional trial.

The 32-year-old contacted a player agency through social media and now has a chance of becoming a professional footballer.

“This is a little investment in myself and I go there with no big expectation,” Izzo said.

“If I stay there or if I come back it will still be a great experience to taste professional football in fact it will be a highlight of my career.”

Izzo comes from Taranto in the Puglia region of southern Italy.

“Football is a religion to us.

“We didn’t have much money growing up but we had football so it has been a massive thing for me – it pretty much saved my life.”

Izzo played locally in Italy and the highest level he reached was with Grottaglie Calcio in Serie D.

He arrived in Melbourne in 2019 and was brought to Mornington by Marty Ashton who had been introduced to Izzo at a local café.

“Unfortunately I came here a few months before COVID so there was not a lot of football for a couple of seasons.”

At Mornington he trained under Adam Jamieson and Nathan Peel and although he never made the impact he wanted he left with no regrets.

“Mornington was great and they helped me so much.”

His switch to Skye United under head coach Phil McGuinness was driven by a desire to establish himself as a senior player.

Things didn’t go as planned.

“Honestly football-wise it did not work out.

“I trained with the first team but most of my game time was in the reserves.

“I don’t know why that was because you can ask people at the club and they will tell you I did very well with the reserves.

“I thought at first that it was personal but I think it was just that the senior coach didn’t have a high opinion of me.”

When Izzo first came to Melbourne he met Marcus Anastasiou through futsal and when the chance came to link up again with the Somerville talisman he grabbed it.

“I went there to get more senior game time and Marcus was more than happy to introduce me to the club.”

It was the best football decision he’s

made here.

Izzo has been an ever present throughout the past two seasons and is one of Somerville’s top players.

He has finished runner-up to Anastasiou in the club’s top scorer award in both seasons.

Football Victoria’s league restructure didn’t do Somerville any favours last season.

The club finished seventh and was relegated to the new State 5 SouthEast.

Had it finished in the top six it would have retained its State 4 status.

“The restructure was weird really and very difficult for Somerville.

“We are a small club, a community club that is based on friendships and we were always going to find it difficult against teams that pay lots of money to their players.”

So now Izzo’s eyes turn towards his upcoming Thai adventure.

And should he return he may not stay with Somerville.

“Right now my focus is on Thailand but if I come back to Melbourne I think I would prefer to step up.

“I still feel I have at least a couple of good years left.

“That’s nothing against Somerville but if the chance came to play higher then I would look at it.”

In State 7 South-East news the offfield unrest that impacted on Mount Martha’s search for a head coach to replace Charlie Platt has been resolved.

The resignation of three directors prompted a Special General Meeting that was held last week.

The new executive consists of president Ian Cerfontyne, vice-president Britta Natsis, treasurer Will Smith, secretary Ted Kazan and operations manager Simon Jay.

The club will call for expressions of interest for a senior coach and a technical director.

Applicants should contact Ted Kazan at secretary@mountmarthasoccerclub.com.au.

Platt told the club after round 12 last season that he planned to step down.

“Things were happening behind the scenes but nothing that contributed to my decision,” Platt said.

“Hopefully people remember it’s a

community club and everyone should be in it for the right reasons.”

There has been rumours about a player exodus and talk that the club may struggle to maintain a senior program having dropped down from State 5 South to the new State 7 South-East but operations manager Jay rebuked those views.

“We’re not worried about player numbers,” he said.

“There might be some player movement but that’s part of the cycle of things at every club especially during the off-season.”

Still in State 7 South-East and Aspendale has appointed former Mentone and Frankston Pines coach Jason Grieve as head coach.

This comes after a new committee declared the position open by calling for expressions of interest.

Gregor Macnab had been head coach for the past few seasons and was one of a number of candidates who applied for the role.

In VPL1 Langwarrin’s senior squad is taking shape although head coach Jamie Skelly may still add to the play-

ers tasked with taking the local club next season to the dizzy heights of the NPL.

The players signed on for next season are:

GOALKEEPERS: James Burgess, Branten Kindler. DEFENDERS: Luke Adams, Lucas Portelli, Luke Goulding, Jeremy Min Fa, Charlie Fry, Tosan Popo. MIDFIELDERS: Rogan McGeorge, Callum Goulding, Ryo Takahashi, Kosta Apostolopoulos, Joe Tweats. FORWARDS: Tom Youngs, Brad Blumenthal, Mark Deacon, Alun Webb, Zac Bates.

There are a number of players from the club’s under-23s trying to win senior contracts over the pre-season. In other news the 2026 Wallace Cup will be staged on Saturday 31 January at Lawton Park.

The annual tournament will retain its usual format with clubs split into groups with six clubs contesting the Wallace Cup and six clubs contesting the Wallace Plate.
