Raising money for miscarriage support service A FRANKSTON couple are undertaking the Camino de Santiago to raise funds for Miscarriage Information Support Service (MISS). Upali and Nina DeSilva set off from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France on 27 August and are set to finish their pilgrimage at Santiago de Compostela on 16 October. The couple said the Camino is about endurance and reflection, which felt like the right way to honour families who have experienced miscarriage. See story page 3 Picture: Supplied

Homelessness reaches record high Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE number of people sleeping rough in Frankston has soared to its highest level since 2021. Frankston Council estimates that 106 people are known to specialist homelessness services across Frankston, with 67 described as

“sleeping rough”. Council estimates that Frankston has the third highest number of people sleeping rough in Victoria. Earlier this month, local politicians, community leaders, and service providers came together for a roundtable to discuss how to address the growing crisis. Frankston Council’s current homelessness response program,

Frankston Zero, is a collaboration between 22 partner agencies. State government funding for the initiative runs out in mid-2027. Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker said “Frankston Zero has built the local partnerships, knowledge and systems needed to respond. We now need the capacity to meet growing demand.” “The response already exists. The

opportunity is to strengthen what works,” Cr Baker said. “By working together and investing in what we know works, we can help ensure more people have access to the support and housing they need to rebuild their lives.” As part of its advocacy campaign for the November state election, Frankston Council is seeking $2.5 million for Frankston Zero.

Frankston Zero executive committee chair Jackie Galloway said “Frankston Zero keeps people visible to the service system and helps partners provide the right support at the right time. “There are not enough suitable homes, and people can wait a long time. During that wait, outreach, persistence and coordinated support are critical.”

COMMUNITY Support Frankston accepts a federal government grant. Picture: Supplied

Volunteer grant money awarded An independent voice for the community

We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper in Frankston City and on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

$65,000 IN federal government grant money has been awarded to 27 volunteer organisations across the Dunkley electorate. Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea said that the money “will help volunteers access new equipment, resources, training and other practical support.”

Attention Schools, sporting clubs

“Our volunteers are the heart of Dunkley. They coach our kids, support our neighbours, bring people together and step up when they are needed most,” Belyea said. “These grants are a small thank you to the people who give so much of their time to make our community stronger, more connected and more caring.

“Being on the ground across Dunkley, meeting the people who make these organisations work, listening to what they need and then helping deliver support is a real privilege.” Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker and Stephen Sparrow from Family Life were part of the grant selection committee.

The basics matter

By Ann-Marie Hermans* READING and writing are something most of us assume our children will learn at school. But unfortunately, this is not the case. One in four children in Victoria cannot read. NAPLAN results don’t lie, and they show that literacy outcomes for Victorian students continue to be a concern for parents and schools. Up to four in ten Victorian students are struggling with basic grammar and punctuation. How is this even possible in a state that calls itself the Education State? It is our duty to equip our future generations with the knowledge they need to go out into the world and thrive. But this Labor Government is failing. That is why the Liberals and Nationals have announced their Literacy and Numeracy Guarantee, which is a commitment to lift outcomes for our children. The Guarantee will establish: n a target of a 15% increase in proficiency over ten years across NAPLAN domains n A long-term goal of 90% proficiency in

literacy and numeracy. We will do this by giving more support to teachers, developing training in phonics teaching, and reviewing Victoria’s curriculum to declutter it and focus on excellence and what’s important. We have announced our exciting plan to open three more selective entry schools in Victoria, another one in the south-east, and we will restore funding to help some schools with accelerated learning programs. I am excited to restore a focus on learning excellence to create more opportunities for Victorian children in the education system. Policymakers have the responsibility to ensure the best practice and educational outcomes for our children, and the Liberals and Nationals are ready to do just that.

Frankston couple walks the Camino for miscarriage awareness By Raia Flinos A FRANKSTON couple are undertaking the Camino de Santiago to raise funds for Miscarriage Information Support Service (MISS). Upali and Nina DeSilva set off from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France on 27 August and are set to finish their pilgrimage at Santiago de Compostela on 16 October. The couple said the Camino is about endurance and reflection, which felt like the right way to honour families who have experienced miscarriage. “Miscarriage is something so many families go through in silence, and we wanted to walk the Camino to shine a light and raise awareness of the grief, and make sure the families don’t feel alone, and that they are supported,” said Nina. Nina said when they decided to complete the walk, they wanted to pick a charity to support. “We believe that MISS was the right one,” said Nina. “We’re doing this to raise funds, but also to increase awareness, because so many people we know are going through, or have gone through, miscarriages.” Nina and Upali’s neighbour, Melissa King, is the founder of MISS, a community service that provides information, resources, awareness, education, and support programs to anyone impacted by the loss of a baby through miscarriage. Upali and Nina, who are both in their seventies, will walk over 800 kilometres across 51 days.

“We’re absolutely exhausted, and our legs and feet are screaming at us and want to rebel, but we’re enjoying it, and meeting lots of people from all over the world,” said Nina. “Some days we question our sanity... but we also know what keeps us going is that we are raising awareness for this amazing charity.” So far, Upali and Nina have walked over 500 kilometres through the foothills of the Pyrenees and small cities of northern Spain. “Every kilometre we walk is a reminder of the families we hope to support,” said Upali. “We are grateful to everyone who has encouraged us and contributed to this important cause.” Their journey will finish on 16 October, one day after International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. MISS is holding a service for the day on 15 October at Mornington Green Living Legacy Gardens in Somerville. It is also the opening of the new Lullaby Fountain, which is dedicated to anyone impacted by the loss of an infant, baby, or pregnancy. Anyone can register by searching “Lullaby Fountain” on Eventbrite. You can find out more information about MISS and donate at: miss.org. au/donate.

Woman killed in alleged hit-run AN 83-year-old woman was killed in an alleged hit-run in Frankston South last week. The victim, a Frankston South resident, was hit on Frankston-Flinders Road near Highland Drive at about 5.30am on 22 September. She died at the scene. Police say that a 55-year-old Frankston South man got in contact with police at 10.30am that day, and was arrested. A Victoria Police statement read that the incident “is a tragic reminder for all road users to take extra care around pedestrians.

“Recent incidents across the state have highlighted the devastating consequences when people walking near roads are struck by vehicles. Whether you’re driving, riding or walking, stay alert, slow down in high-risk areas, and be aware of your surroundings. Everyone deserves to get home safely.” Police are now investigating the cause of the collision. Detectives have asked witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Fatal fire investigated A WOMAN has died after a house fire in Frankston. The fire broke out at a home on Stanley Street just before 5pm last Thursday, 24 September. A woman was later found deceased inside the house. Emergency services soon attended to extin-

guish the blaze. They did not find anyone else inside the house. An investigation into the cause of the fire has now begun, with a crime scene established. Police have asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Crime drops in Frankston after years of rises Harrison Borthwick harrison@baysidenews.com.au CRIME across the Frankston local government area has dropped by nearly 11 per cent in the year ending June 2026, according to newly released figures from the Crime Statistics Agency. There were 12,241 criminal offences recorded in the Frankston LGA in the year ending June 2026, down from 13,725 offences in the previous year, a drop of 10.8 per cent. Despite the drop, crime has still risen in the Frankston LGA by 46 per cent since 2022. Frankston was the suburb most affected by crime, with 6645 offences, followed by Seaford with 1713 and Carrum Downs with 1631. Frankston witnessed a small decrease in offences, down from 7199 in the previous 12 months, to 6645 in the 12 months up to June 2026. Seaford’s offences recorded dropped from 2061 to 1713 and Carrum Downs’ dropped from 1868 to 1631 in the same time period. The data shows the largest offence recorded was “steal from a motor vehicle”, decreasing in the 12 months from 2066 to 1,673 offences. The next most common offence

was “Breach bail conditions” which rose considerably from 933 in the previous 12 months to 1192 in the 12 months up to June 2026. The third most common offence was “other theft”, which rose from 996 offences in the previous 12 months compared to 1094 offences in the 12 months to June 2026. Data also showed 43.4 per cent of the 12,241 offences recorded were marked as unsolved, while 40.2 per cent of offences resulted in charges being laid. In the neighbouring Mornington Peninsula LGA, total offences went down 11.4 per cent from 9301 to 8243 incidents. The offence “steal from a motor vehicle” was the most common offence with 935 incidents recorded for the 12 months until June 2026. Rosebud was the peninsula suburb most affected by crime, followed closely by Mornington and Hastings. Rosebud witnessed a similar number of offences compared to this time last year, down from 1326 in the previous 12 months, to 1307 during the 12 months up to June 2026. Mornington’s offences recorded dropped from 1326 to 1307 and Hastings’ from 1277 to 1247 in the same time period. Statewide, criminal offences have fallen slightly with 468,070 crimi-

nal offences recorded in Victoria in the twelve months to June 2026 – a decrease of 2.9 per cent recorded in the same period last year. A statement from Victoria Police said: “While it is pleasing to see overall crime figures stabilising, and many categories seeing reductions, general levels remain elevated, reinforcing the need for Victoria Police to maintain a strong focus on prevention and enforcement activities. “Community safety is maximised when our people are visible, proactive and focused on frontline policing. By continuing to modernise the way we deploy our workforce, we are increasing our capacity to prevent crime, target emerging issues and provide a stronger policing presence where it matters most. “A four per cent reduction in serious and violent crime is an encouraging result, but our work is far from over. We remain firmly committed to reducing harm across the community and will continue striving not only to meet our targets, but to exceed them. “Victoria Police will continue to focus on prevention where we can, enforcement where we must, and maintaining the visible, proactive policing presence that communities in this state rightly expect and deserve.”

Council ‘angered’ by planning decision A CONTROVERSIAL plan to build more than 900 homes on the Dingley Village Kingswood golf course site has been approved. Last week, the state government gave the green light for developer Satterley to proceed with the redevelopment. A development plan for the site was approved in late 2025, paving the way for last week’s approval of a planning permit for 932 new homes. The project has been in the works for nearly a decade. Kingston Council rejected a proposal by former site owner AustralianSuper to redevelop the land in 2018 after more than 8000 residents objected. The state government later stepped in to claim planning authority over the site. Developer Satterley bought the site in 2024. Its revised plans for more than 900 lots on the site were also met with community opposition; a petition with more than 2000 signatures was submitted to state parliament earlier this year (“Calls grow to change golf course plans” The Times, 10/9/2026). Despite that opposition, the state government gave its final approval for redevelopment on 22 September. Flooding concerns have been the largest concern for people opposing the project - the state government said in a statement that the development will “require updated flood and drainage modelling”. Planning minister Sonya Kilkenny said the approved plan “reflects community feedback as we get on building more homes for Victorians.” “We are delivering more homes here – while protecting what makes the area great including trees and open space,” Kilkenny said. The

state government’s announcement read that “the project will deliver at least 10 per cent affordable housing. 20 per cent of the site will be dedicated to green open space.” “The development will be built in stages. Stages will only proceed to construction once infrastructure is delivered,” the state government said. “The plan has been shaped following extensive consultation with locals, Kingston Council and Melbourne Water.” After the decision was approved, Kingston Council publicly voiced its disappointment. It has been advocating for changes to the plans throughout this council term. Kingston mayor Cr Georgina Oxley

said that Kingston Council is “angered by this state government decision.” “For more than a decade, the community and council have raised serious concerns about huge tree losses, the scale of development, limited open space, traffic impacts and flood risks. Yet we have been consistently ignored. Now the 932-home development has been approved just months out from a state election,” Cr Oxley said. “This decision has been made despite overwhelming community opposition, clear environmental risks and warnings from the government’s own advisory processes that the site is highly constrained by flood risk and contains critical environmental values.

“Kingston and Dingley Village have spent years fighting for meaningful changes and quite frankly deserve better. For decades this site was the lungs of Dingley Village, but this decision shows scant regard for the environment.” Cr Oxley said that minor improvements to the submitted plans were secured, but that the development remains inappropriate for its site. “We have previously called for appropriate investment in drainage, roads, active transport, open space and community infrastructure to respond to the significant population increase associated with the development,” Cr Oxley said. “Kingston is happy to take its share of growth to

address the housing crisis and consistently supported new housing in the right locations. But this proposal has always been the wrong development, in the wrong location, at the wrong scale.” After the state government approved the Kingswood development plan in late 2025, Kingston Council failed to lodge an appeal with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal until four days after the required deadline. Earlier this year Kingston Council resolved to write to the planning minister to urge that the redevelopment be halted (“Council calls for Kingswood plan change” The Times, 5/5/2026). Brodie Cowburn

Renowned illustrator Terry Denton dies FAMED illustrator and Mornington Peninsula resident Terry Denton died surrounded by his family on Monday 21 September, aged 76. Terry was the author and illustrator of over 30 of his own books including his Gasp! Series which was adapted for television in 2011. He also illustrated for authors such as Mem Fox, Paul Jennings and Gillian Rubinstein. His long-term collaboration with Andy Griffiths began in 1997 with the publication of Just Tricking!, the first of nine books in the Just! series, which was followed by the hugely successful Treehouse series – 13 books of 13 treehouse stories – which helped generations of children fall in love with books and writing. Parents who grew up reading the Treehouse books later accompanied their children to events and signings with their own children. The much-beloved series sold into 35 translation territories, and totals over 13 million sales in English language alone.

Andy Griffiths said: “Working – and playing – with Terry over three decades has been an incredible honour and a pure delight. Jill and I will miss him greatly.” Denton will be remembered for his sense of fun, kindness and generosity. He will be greatly missed but leaves a massive legacy in his cherished books and illustrations. He is survived by his wife Kristen, his children Max, Imogen and Eve and his grandchildren Georgia, Lucy, Charlie, Alfie and Felix. A statement from the Denton family said: “Dad gave joy to millions of children around the world and after all those stories and all those lives he touched, he always came home to us”. “We are so grateful that his stories will continue to live on, bringing wonder, laughter and comfort to generations yet to come – and most especially to his beloved grandchildren, who will grow up knowing him through the magic he left behind.”

Artist had an eye for every occasion THE sparkle that would appear in Terry Denton’s eye was a clue to his often offbeat reaction to everyday events or circumstances that provided an endless source of fodder for his art and books. To say that he had an interesting way of looking at things is selling his creative capabilities short. When asked by this writer 46 years ago to design a wedding invitation for me and my wife to be, Grada, Denton came up with something way beyond what I expected. Having given him the appropriate names, dates, times and location, within days he was back with a hand drawn invite that can only be described as a cartoon. It was perfect. The result illustrated just how unique Denton’s approach was to even the most mundane of requests.

His approach to what is one of life’s most important events involved a mix of his own typography and cartoon characters erecting a billboard announcing the upcoming wedding - “a very small [backyard] celebration … followed by a very large celebration”. The little characters were busily climbing ladders and hauling on ropes to fix the letters to the billboard. The yet-to-be-married couple - described as having “decided to get together on a permanent basis” - were characterised as sitting to one side in a starlit night looking at a full moon. The moon’s face was staring back through a magnifying glass while smoking what appeared to be a hand-rolled cigarette. Denton’s unique, humorous drawing set the stage for what was indeed a memorable celebration. Keith Platt

Record Fair will return THE Mornington Peninsula Record Fair returns to Frankston next month. The vinyl sale event will be held at The Cheeky Squire on 17 October. Up to 20,000 records are expected to be on display. Event organiser Scott Sheedy said

the event “is about more than buying records. It’s about bringing together music lovers, collectors, local venues, sellers, and artists in one room and creating an event that feels exciting, social, and distinctly local.” The free event runs from 11am to 4pm.

POP Choir will expand its reach next month. Picture: Supplied

Community choir group expands A POP Choir community group is set to launch in Frankston next month. The community choir has more than 1000 members across its six locations. It has groups in Mordialloc, Mornington, Oakleigh, Moorabbin, and Eltham. The Frankston Pop Choir will hold its first event at the Frankston Mechanics Institute Hall on 7 October. Pop Choir co-founder Sharon Stokes said “We have wanted to bring Pop Choir to Frankston for a while. It has such a great community feel and we have had lots of enquiries from peo-

ple in Frankston and the surrounding areas who love the idea of Pop Choir but do not necessarily want to travel to Mornington or further into Melbourne each week.” “For us, Pop Choir has always been about more than singing. It is about creating a place where people can walk in, switch off for an hour, sing, laugh, meet people and feel part of something. Frankston feels like a really natural place to build another one of those communities and we are so excited to see it come to life,” Stokes said. “We now have more than 1100 people as part of the Pop Choir com-

munity, which still blows our minds when we think about how it all started. We would love to see that grow to 2000 and eventually take Pop Choir into other parts of Australia, but we never want to lose what makes it special.” The Frankston choir will be led by Swedish-born vocalist Isobel Olofsson. Stokes said the performer “has been involved in choirs since she was a child, including performing with the 40-woman Pearls of the Sound barbershop choir in Sweden, which competed in the Barbershop Nordic Championships.”

Mornington Peninsula Legacy Club holds centenarian lunch By Raia Flinos MORNINGTON Peninsula Legacy Club’s centenarian members came together with friends and family for a celebratory lunch at Legacy House in Mt Eliza on 23 September. The annual lunch brought together women aged between 100 and 104, providing an opportunity to socialise, share stories, and reflect. Mornington Peninsula Legacy Club President Chuck Connors said the event was held each year to recognise beneficiaries who have reached 100. “I’m in awe,” said Connors. “I tried to make it all about them today. They’re here because of their husband’s sacrifice, but today is all about them.” Connors said when a beneficiary reaches the milestone centennial birthday, a legatee will usually buy flowers and pay them a visit. “Because these ladies have now turned 100, we like to get them together when they’re able,” said Connors. Among those in attendance was Dorothy Cleaver, who was born in 1923. Her husband Leonard served in the British Army in World War II. Cleaver said her secret to a long life was simple. “A lot of hard work,” said Cleaver. “And I don’t drink.” She said the lunch was a nice opportunity to meet other people, as life can get lonely as you get older. Thelma Redford, who was born in 1924, attended the lunch alongside her daughter. Her husband Allan served in the Australian Army in World War II. Redford now resides at St Johns in Somerville and spoke highly of the

community and care she receives. “It’s a lovely place,” said Redford. “A real community spirit and the girls who look after us are lovely.” Redford said Legacy continues to check in with their beneficiaries. “Legacy comes around every now and then to see how you’re getting on and make sure you’re well looked after,” said Redford.

Redford said she is fortunate enough to be well-looked after and have a loving family, but she is aware not everyone has that. “We know [Legacy] are there if we need them,” said Redford. She said the lunch provided a nice opportunity to hear the other centenarian’s stories. “It’s interesting to be here and

listen to what’s happened differently in people’s lives,” said Redford. Merle Wilken, who was born in 1925 and whose husband Jack served in World War II, was another centenarian celebrated at the lunch. She said there is no secret to reaching 100 but noted her enthusiasm for junk food. “You should see my cabinet back

there at the home,” said Wilken. “Chocolate everywhere.” The Mornington Peninsula Legacy Club currently supports 515 beneficiaries across the peninsula, including 476 widows. Legacy provides a range of social activities, services, and support to its beneficiaries and relies on volunteers from the community.

Enjoying theatre with grandchildren Taking grandchildren to the theatre can be life changing. Filled with fun, emotion and energy, live theatre creates a kind of magic unlike anything else. It asks the audience to set their imagination free, suspend disbelief, immerse themselves in story and surrender to the performance. It’s an unforgettable experience for a child and a unique bonding opportunity for the grandparent(s).

Theatre offers a rare opportunity to be fully present. To share that state of mindfulness and wonder with a grandchild is truly special. While technology can draw people apart, theatre provides a delightful antidote; a way for people to get together in an intimate shared experience. Choosing the right performance, one that is age-appropriate and thematically engaging for the child, is the first step to a successful theatre outing. When children watch actors, singers, dancers or acrobats on stage, it shines a light on the importance of leadership and teamwork. They can see performers solving problems in real time and witness the kinds of non-verbal skills necessary to communicate on stage. Developing these kinds of observational skills can help children learn the importance of all kinds of communication. Theatre can nourish meaningful discussions as children and grandparents talk about plot, analyse characters, look at the world building of sets and the enhancements that lighting and sound provide. Theatre gives children ways to see the world differently. It fosters a

love of story and highlights the value of storytelling while introducing new ways to use language.

When grandparents take their grandkids to the theatre, they are promoting thoughtful engagement with the world in other meaningful ways too, such as, learning about differences in people and other cultures. Theatre can build empathy, compassion, respect and emotional intelligence so critically important in today’s world. Grandparents become a vital link in building this knowledge. Taking a grandchild to see a play, live music, dance, opera, circus or a comedy provides countless opportunities for teaching, learning and connecting. These excursions can foster a lifelong love of live theatre that creates future audiences so vital to keeping performing arts alive. Debriefing after the performance and discussing its impact can start conversations that last long after the curtain closes.

Possibly most important of all, theatre fuels the imagination. Standing in the foyer as the build up of pre-show anticipation begins, hearing the ‘ten minute’ bell chimes, sitting side by side witnessing a child’s sense of wonder are truly bewitching moments. When laughter, joy and excitement ripple through the audience it’s a thrill for everyone, but the grandchild feels all of that sitting next to someone they love.

Grandparents can also foster good theatre citizenship by teaching theatre etiquette.

Simple things like being on time, toileting before the show, being quiet during the performance and unwrapping snacks beforehand are behaviours that need to be taught. Grandparents become partners in this learning. They help children to become adaptable and to understand that different environments require different behaviours.

Theatre can build the grandparent/ grandchild relationship into something deeper and even more impactful. Those cross generational conversations about performances become an indelible and unique bond that can keep them talking for many years to come. Going to the theatre together creates a legacy of viewing the world differently; through an engaged, humanist lens. What could be better?

Unlocking life’s next adventure: How home equity can help fund your travel dreams For many Australians over 55, retirement represents an exciting new chapter. A time to enjoy greater freedom, reconnect with loved ones and finally experience the places that may have been waiting on the wish list for years. Whether it is visiting family overseas, exploring spectacular destinations within Australia, taking a cruise or experiencing a different culture, many retirees want to make the most of their time and create memories that last a lifetime.

However, for many homeowners, funding these experiences can be challenging when much of their wealth is tied up in their home. With everyday expenses and other retirement priorities to consider, finding extra financial flexibility can sometimes feel difficult. This is where a Home Equity Release Loan could become part of the retirement conversation. What is a Home Equity Release Loan?

A Home Equity Release Loan allows eligible homeowners to access some of the value they have built up in their property without needing to sell their home or move away. This could provide the financial flexibility to pursue important lifestyle goals, including travel, while remaining in the community they know and love. Turning retirement dreams into reality

After decades of working and saving, many Australians see retirement as the time to enjoy the rewards of their efforts.

The next adventure may be closer than you think. For eligible homeowners, unlocking some of their home equity could help transform travel plans from a dream into a reality. Key benefits and uses

A Home Equity Release Loan can provide flexibility, allowing retirees to use funds in a way that best suits their personal goals and circumstances. Key features typically include:

• Retain ownership of your home while benefiting from any growth in property value, which is a significant advantage compared to downsizing into a lower value asset.

• Lifetime occupancy guarantee where the loan is secured against your home and there is no fixed loan term, allowing you to remain in your home and community for as long as you wish.

• No negative equity guarantee ensuring you will never owe more than the market value of your property, providing peace of mind for you and your family. • No ongoing monthly repayments or fees helping to improve cash flow and financial freedom.

• No proof of income required making it more accessible for retirees or those with non-traditional income streams.

• Access your money your way whether as a lump sum, regular payments, or a line of credit.

SENIORS FESTIVAL Benefits of gardening for seniors: Mental and physical Gardening is a timeless pursuit that transcends generations. For older adults, it becomes a source of both joy and holistic well-being. In fact, there is a positive correlation between gardening and senior health. As we age, the therapeutic benefits of tending to plants and nurturing a garden become increasingly apparent. In this blog, we share senior gardening benefits and explore how this pastime offers a means to stay physically active, mentally engaged, and socially connected. What are the benefits of gardening?

As we gracefully age, it’s essential to find activities that promote physical and mental well-being while also being enjoyable and sustainable. Gardening, a timeless pursuit, is a practice that perfectly aligns with these goals. Some of the benefits of gardening include: • Improved muscle strength and endurance

Gardening involves a myriad of physical tasks, such as digging, planting, weeding, and lifting. These activities naturally engage various muscle groups, helping seniors build and maintain muscle strength and endurance.

• Enhanced flexibility and joint health

Bending, reaching, and stretching during gardening promotes flexibility and joint health. These movements can help seniors maintain their range of motion and reduce the risk of stiffness and joint pain. • Cardiovascular health

Engaging in moderate-intensity gardening activities, such as brisk walking while pushing a wheelbarrow or mowing the lawn, can improve cardiovascular health. These activities raise the heart rate and help seniors maintain a healthy circulatory system, reducing the risk of heart-related issues. • Stress reduction

Gardening is a natural stress reliever. The peaceful and meditative nature of gardening tasks can reduce cortisol levels, leading to a calmer, more relaxed state of mind. This can be especially beneficial for seniors dealing with the stresses of daily life or the challenges of aging. • A sense of accomplishment

Watching plants grow and flourish due to their care gives seniors a profound sense of accomplishment. This sense of achievement can boost selfesteem and confidence, helping seniors maintain a positive outlook.

BEYOND PARADISE

MOVIE: COP THIS

ABC TV, 7.30pm

TEN, 9.40pm

Death in Paradise’s Devon-set spin-off pays homage to Nordic masterpiece The Bridge with this third season premiere, when a missing man is found in the river that borders two counties. DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall, left) arrives at the crime scene to ﬁnd that his Cornish counterparts DI Jacob Tremayne (Steve Oram, DI Ray) and DS Fennella Foster (Gabby Best) believe the case falls under their jurisdiction. Humphrey and DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi) have no choice but to work with their rather contrary colleagues – or at least appear to be doing so. Meanwhile, Martha (Sally Bretton) opens a new cafe and the return of a former ﬂame causes complications.

With a cast list that reads like the lineup for a comedy festival, this telemovie – written, produced and codirected by Have You Been Paying Attention? stalwart Ed Kavalee – is sure to tickle your funny bone. Set on grand ﬁnal day in a suburban police station that’s about to be automated by an AIpowered robot (voice of Luke McGregor), the action follows Sergeant Jo Hardy (Nicolette Minster, above) and Junior Ofﬁcer Matt Pepper (Ray O’Leary). The pair are hoping for a quiet last day, but get dragged into the centre of a corruption scandal involving their rogue colleague Ben (Anthony ‘Lehmo’ Lehmann). Minster and O’Leary’s deadpan delivery anchors the chaotic plot. Packed with top-tier talent, Cop This is a hilarious home-grown caper.

SBS, 7.30pm

Set in 1920s Italy, this lavish period drama follows the fortunes of Bella Ainsworth (Natascha McElhone, left), the daughter of a wealthy industrialist who has set up a British hotel on the Italian Riviera. Bella’s high-society English clientele brings no shortage of intrigue – imagine The White Lotus meets Downton Abbey, with a dash of political turmoil thrown in for good measure. In Friday’s premiere, marriageminded mother Julia DrummondWard (Lucy Akhurst) arrives in Portoﬁno for the summer, hoping to arrange a match between her daughter Rose (Aussie actress Claude Scott-Mitchell) and Bella’s son Lucian (Oliver Dench).

SENIORS FESTIVAL Helping seniors protect wealth for future generations Estate planning, drafting your Will and Powers of Attorney, is a critical aspect of securing peace of mind, protecting loved ones, and ensuring generational wealth can be preserved. Lardners Solicitors, a long-standing trusted law firm based in Mount Eliza, is passionate about empowering the community with reliable and accurate information on estate planning issues.

Through free presentations and seminars, as well as private client appointments, the firm is making a significant impact on the lives of senior citizens across the Mornington Peninsula and beyond.

Principal Solicitor Andrea Griffiths, who has been at the forefront of these initiatives, emphasises the importance of estate planning. “Estate planning is not just about drafting a Will; it’s about creating legal structures that protect assets and ensure they are passed down to future generations in a way that can often assist in minimising tax implications” says Ms Griffiths. “I find immense satisfaction in assisting members of our seniors community to prepare Wills that provide clarity and security for their loved ones. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the peace of mind it brings to our clients.”

In response to the overwhelming need for accessible and trustworthy information, Lardners Solicitors regularly host free seminars at venues across the Peninsula, including at the Mornington Peninsula Shire libraries, aged care villages, and local RSL and community groups throughout the year.

LARDNER Solicitors are available for appointments in person, via telephone, Zoom or in-home visits. photo: Yanni

These sessions aim to address common concerns, such as understanding available choices, tax implications, and probate fees – issues which often weigh heavily on the minds of seniors. Through these information sessions, Ms Griffiths identified a glaring gap in reliable estate planning information within the senior community. “It became clear that many people were making decisions based on outdated beliefs or fear of the unknown. By providing accurate advice, we can allay their concerns and empower them to make informed choices,” she explains.

One of the most common worries among seniors is the financial burden their beneficiaries may face after they pass. Tax implications and probate fees can be daunting, but with proper advice, these concerns can be significantly mitigated.

“Our seminars are designed to demystify these issues and provide practical solutions,” says Ms Griffiths. “We want our community members to feel confident that their wealth is protected and their wishes Will be respected.” Lardners Solicitors is committed to serving the community and ensuring that seniors have access to the information

they need to safeguard their assets.

“Estate planning is not something to put off; it’s an essential step in protecting your legacy and providing for your loved ones,” urges Ms Griffiths. “I encourage everyone to take the time to plan for the future.”

The Team at Lardners Solicitors are available for appointments in person, via telephone, Zoom or in-home visits and discuss your estate planning needs and concerns. With their dedication to empowering seniors and protecting wishes and generational wealth, Lardners Solicitors continues to be a pillar of support for the Mornington Peninsula community members.

A family owned business from humble beginnings WHEN Shane and Max Kelly opted for a career change in the 1990’s, they had no idea that one day, they would become the leading force behind significant change in the Aged and Disability sector. Together, they chose to become qualified carers to help people in their community living with a disability. They soon noticed a gap in the industry along the Mornington Peninsula, and from a spare room in their Rye home, After-Care was born.

Today, After-Care is a multiaward-winning company that encompasses strong family and community values which proudly support many local sporting and community groups. After-Care, a registered NDIS Support Provider and Register Provider of Home Care Packages continue to deliver high-quality in-home support to hundreds of clients living with ageing needs and disabilities each week, so that they can remain living independently in their home and community.

Osteoporosis? Doctor recommends exercise? program to the local community.

Introducing the ONERO™ program at Back In Motion Carrum Downs

When you join the ONERO™ program, you’ll receive:

Osteoporosis affects over 1.2 million Australians, silently weakening bones and raising the risk of fractures. The good news? With the right approach, it can be managed or even improved.

• A comprehensive physiotherapy assessment

• Initial training and education for safe and confident exercise execution

Back In Motion Carrum Downs proudly offer the ONERO™ program, a scientifically backed exercise intervention designed for those with osteoporosis or low bone density (osteopenia). Developed by Professor Belinda Beck of The Bone Clinic in Queensland, ONERO™ has shown proven results in reducing fracture risk, increasing bone density, muscle and physical function.

• Small-group ONERO™ sessions with professional supervision

• Regular progress tracking and reviews

• Education on safe movement strategies and bone health

Those with private health insurance should also be able to claim a rebate back on class costs. Back In Motion Carrum Downs understand that starting an exercise program while managing a condition like osteoporosis can feel overwhelming. That’s why they prioritise safety, support, and education at every step.

What is the ONERO™ Program?

The ONERO™ program is a supervised, high-intensity resistance and impact training program tailored for individuals with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Based on years of clinical research, ONERO™ uses targeted exercises to build bone density, improve posture, increase strength, and protect against fractures. The ONERO™ program is a supervised, hands-on program where you are guided through a series of targeted exercises. ONERO™ is safe, specific, progressive, and is only delivered by trained physiotherapists who are certified to deliver ONERO™. This means that they can tailor the program to meet your individual needs and accommodate your medical history or other comorbidities. The program is also individually staged so you can feel confident to join at any level

Who is the ONERO™ Program for?

• Anyone diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia and be guided by your physiotherapist to progress at your own pace.

The risk of osteoporotic fracture is greatly increased in people at risk of falling. ONERO™ training not only improves muscle strength but includes exercises to improve balance and mobility, thereby reducing osteoporotic fracture risk both by improving bone and reducing falls.

Why Choose Back In Motion Carrum Downs?

Back In Motion Carrum Downs focus on proactive, personalised care. Senior physiotherapists Joshua Quinn and Toby Chan, fully accredited to deliver the ONERO™ program, are passionate about helping you improve your health at any stage of life. Joshua and Toby are very excited to be able to bring the ONERO™

• Post-menopausal women or older men with low bone mass • Individuals seeking to prevent agerelated bone loss

• Those with a family history of fractures or falls

• People looking for a safe, structured way to improve strength and balance

No matter your age or fitness level, it's never too late to start strengthening your bones.

Evidence-based exercise programme for Osteoporisis A growing body of scientific evidence has demonstrated that OneroTM, supervised, bone-targeted high intensity resistance and impact training, reduces osteoporotic fracture risk in post menopausal women and older men with low to very low bone mass. The evidence -based OneroTM program improves bone, muscle, and physical function and is safe for people with low bone mass when supervised.

SENIORS FESTIVAL The best life ever at The Mornington Retirement Village For three and a half years Glenda and John Ferris have called The Mornington Retirement Village home. Glenda and John met at a ‘Parents Without Partners’ event in Melbourne and married in 1995. They lived in a house on the Safety Beach Golf Course until John had a stroke, and they began to seriously look at downsizing into a supportive community where they could both make connections. “We looked at a lot of villages that were probably more modern than here but they’re all lined up in a row and they just didn’t have any character. Whereas you walk in here and it’s just wide open spaces, with the lake and the cafe and you feel really safe,” Glenda said. “I often say to people with all the awful things that are going on in the world I feel like we’re sort of locked away in our little safe corner down here. “It’s a really great life and it’s the best choice I’ve made in a long time.”

Their Tibetan spaniel dog, Ken, also calls The Mornington home, although he thinks he owns the house! Ken is an important social companion, connecting Glenda and John with neighbours on their walks and providing a reason for them to catch up regularly.

OPEN DAYS

Glenda is also a DJ on the fortnightly Rock ‘n’ Roll nights, and loves to get people up and dancing. “Everybody seems to really enjoy that, it’s a really good night,” Glenda said.

Other activities Glenda and John enjoy attending are the weekly happy hours, the choice of chair exercises or yoga, and any concert or performance hosted in the Clubhouse. At least twice a week they visit the cafe in the Clubhouse for a reasonably priced cuppa, so Ken can sit overlooking the lake in the sunshine.

The couple also remain connected to their family, who mostly live in Melbourne, and visit regularly. “Honestly we’ve never regretted a day here - it’s just the best life ever,” Glenda said. “Just knowing all the neighbours in our court, everywhere really, are all in the same boat - if people need help they’re all too willing to help.” “It’s also the freedom of coming and going as you please.” For more information about The Mornington Retirement Village, or Southern Cross Care’s other villages in Victoria, call: 1800 852 772 or visit SouthernCrossCare.com.au.

You can even book a tour to see for yourself all the benefits that Glenda and John enjoy!

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Well-known French Island resident dies Compiled by Cameron McCullough Last Saturday, Frank Robert Broderick, a well known resident of French Island, was found dead in tragic circumstances by his brother. Mounted Constable Egan, of Hastings, proceeded to the island to make enquiries ,and on Monday a magisterial enquiry was conducted by Mr. R. T. McGuigan, J.P. On the evidence submitted it was shown that the deceased headed off in the morning with the professed intention of working on his farm. Having failed to return at the usual time, a search was made by his brother, who found him dead with his throat cut in an old house on the farm. A verdict was recorded that death was due to a wound self-inflicted. The deceased man, who appeared to have been in his usual spirits prior to his death, leaves a widow and four children to mourn their loss. Proving the great importance of wireless, news of the case was broadcasted on Saturday night, with the result that on Sunday morning, all the relatives were at Hastings in time to catch the boat to the island. The burial of deceased took place on Tuesday at French Island. *** Good Samaritans Quite a sensation was created one night last week when three young men, on the main road near Hastings, met a man who appealed to them to take him to the Alfred Hospital. Mr. Charles Jones quickly put his car at the disposal of the injured man, who was driven to the surgery of Doctor Bickart and treated there. Later on the

same night, John Campbell, a labourer employed at Flinders Naval Depot, was admitted to the Alfred Hospital suffering from a wound in the throat. His condition is not serious. *** Wild Flower Show The Frankston Horticultural Society held a Wild Flower and Daffodil Show in the Palais on Friday last. There was a splendid display of orchids, variety being excellent and equal to anything shown in Melbourne. The judge, Mr. Paton, of Melbourne, expressed surprise at the wonderful display, and warmly congratulated the society on its efforts. The exhibits were all excellently staged. The daffodil blooms were good, although it is rather late in the season for the best results. Miss Werner’s exhibit in this class was greatly admired. In the wild flower section considerable interest was taken, the entries numbering 21, while in orchids there were 38 entries. The president of the society, Mr. J. G. Mann thanked Mr. Paton who carried out the duties of judge so capably. Mr H. Bineham, hon. secretary, put in a lot of hard work and it was rather disappointing that the attendance of the public was not larger. *** Larger capacity trucks Any fear that there is an intention on the part of the Railways Commissioners to penalise primary producers or others due to the elimination of 11-ton trucks should be dispelled by the following definite statement which has

been issued by the Commissioners:- , “As each 11-ton truck is retired a 16ton truck will be marked as available for use if required as an 11-ton truck at the rate and under the conditions applicable to an 11-ton truck. Any loading over the minimum prescribed for the 11-ton truck will be charged pro rata. “The elimination of 11-ton trucks will not mean that consignments will be held at stations when the larger trucks are introduced in order to form full truck loads. The service to be given will, to all intents and purposes, be as good if not better than at present, and the staff will co-operate with railway users in every possible way to ensure that consignments are received and dispatched with promptitude.” *** Frankston Dramatic Society The meeting convened by Mr. F. Holt for the purpose of forming a dramatic society was well attended on Monday evening last. It was decided to form a society, Mr. McFarlane being elected president. Mr. W: Nicholl was elected secretary, and Mr. F. Holt treasurer. The society intend to stage “The Private Secretary” at an early date, proceeds to assist the juniors’ hall. A further meeting will be held this (Friday) evening at Mrs. McFarlane’s residence, Bay street. *** Property sale An attractive Frankston property will be offered at auction on Saturday, 9th October, at 2pm, on account of Mr. L. V. Davies. It is an attractive 5-roomed W.B. villa, with all modern conveniences.

That talented young musician, Eunice Barclay, daughter of Mr and Mrs H. C. Barclay, of Frankston, was successful in receiving hon mention at the Ballarat South Street competitions this week. Eunice who competed in the under 7 class, is a pupil of Miss Ruby Kerr, of Mornington. Tomorrow afternoon the marriage of Mr. John Cameron, eldest son of Mrs. Cameron, of Kars Street, Frankston, to Miss Ivy Cunningham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Cunningham, of Frankston, will be celebrated at the Presbyterian church, Frankston, by the Moderator, assisted by Rev. W. J. Coulson. *** Obituary The death took place on Tuesday last at “Maxwelton” private hospital, Frankston, of Mrs. Clara Patey, wife of Mr. John P. Patey, “Fernlea,” Seaford. She had been ill for about three weeks and appeared to be progressing nicely when complications set in and the end came suddenly. Great sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband, both Mr. and the late Mrs. Patey, being very popular in the district. Their only son, Leonard, was killed at the Great War. The remains were privately interred,

the Rev. A. P. McFarlane officiating at the graveside. Mr. Gamble carried out the funeral arrangements. The late Mrs. Patey possessed considerable literary ability and she published a book of poems of which over 1000 copies were sold for the Bendigo soldiers’ memorial home. During her residence at Seaford she frequently contributed items of verse to the columns of “The Standard”. *** Fruit Packing Class Quite recently a fruit packing class for school children was started at Red Hill, and exhibits were sent to the Royal Agricultural Show for competition. There were about 100 entries and Miss Evelyn Holmes’ exhibit was highly commended by the judges. *** Electricity By Air Another mysterious ray has been uncovered. No sooner did Millikan come out with his announcement of the “lutra-x-rays” that will penetrate 6ft. of lead, than a young Welsh research worker made public his discovery of a new kind of ray that is claimed to transform air so that it can conduct electricity. It seems to lie in the mysterious region between the X-ray and the Millikan ray and, if so, may prove a great help in investigating the structure of levels in certain atoms of which very little is known at present. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 1 October 1926
