Aged care changes on the way
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
KINGSTON Council says it is prepared to handle “abrupt” changes to aged care assessments.
The federal government is in the process of reforming the aged care sector. It has been making changes to the industry in response to a Royal Commission which handed down its final report in 2021.
Among the reforms are changes to the administration of the Regional As-
sessment Service. Previously the federal Department of Health and Aged Care engaged the Victorian Department of Health to deliver the RAS, which then subcontracted the responsibility to Kingston Council for local services.
AccessCare, which is managed by Kingston Council, was the contracted provider of aged care assessments in the Kingston municipality. That contract expired last week, and three external organisations have been engaged to take on the assessment process.
Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns said that council is working hard to minimise disruptions while the trio of new organisations takes over aged care assessments. “Whilst these changes have come abruptly, Kingston has made sure our staff are available to help with the transition by the Commonwealth Government away from council-led AccessCare services,” she said. “AccessCare will continue to take on new clients, and our team is also still available to support members of the community to navigate My Aged
Care and arrange an assessment.
“Kingston is the largest provider of aged care services of any local council in Victoria, and we remain dedicated to providing home care services for our community, a service our clients rely on for their quality of life. As leaders in this vital space, it is our absolute duty to invest in supporting our older residents, delivering high quality home care services and ensuring Kingston remains a city where people can age well into the future.”
Assessments previously provided by
AccessCare will now be handled by a separate Western-Australian based organisation called Access Care Network Australia, APM (Serendipity), and Aspire 4 Life. They will administer a single assessment system resulting from a merger of the Regional Assessment Service and Aged Care Assessment Teams.
AccessCare will continue to offer inhome care services to Kingston residents.
For more information on the changes call AccessCare on 1300 819 200.

Disability ‘action plan’ approved
MORE services for people with disabilities will be established under a four-year plan approved by Kingston Council.
Last month, Kingston Council gave its final tick of approval to its “all-abilities action plan”. The plan outlines 30 actions which council should take to improve the lives of people living with disabilities.
Among the actions listed in the plan are an increased number of people with a disability employed by council and the establishment of a
disability access and inclusion consultative forum. The plan also recommends “embedding universal design principles in all capital projects, increasing the network of changing places facilities, and working with local traders to implement a Good Access is Good Business program.”
Kingston mayor Jenna DaveyBurns said the plan would put “people’s voices at the centre of the process.”
“This is a real and honest guide to improving inclusion and acces-
sibility in Kingston for people with disability which benefits our whole community. Frank, thoughtful and straight-forward contributions from a team of locals, who either have disability or care for someone with disability, has given this plan heart,” she said. “It is an authentic, achievable path to providing people with disability in Kingston more support and we hope it makes our community members with disability feel valued, included, and empowered to contribute to our community.”

Students step up for charity
STUDENTS from a Langwarrin school have helped donate hundreds of care packages to people in need.
Year 9 students from Bayside Christian College have partnered with notfor-profit Blessing Bags to put together packages for people experiencing homelessness. The 60 students have helped donate more than 800 packages.
Blessing Bags is a not-for-profit organisation which supports people experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The Mornington Peninsula-based charity puts together and distributes hygiene packs featuring essential personal care items
Blessing Bags is volunteer-run, and has provided over 15,000 packages to those in need so far. For more information on the charity visit blessingbagsmelbourne.com
Grant clarification
LAST week, The News reported that Anglican Parish of Longbeach Pantry 5000 was among the community groups which are set to have their council grant funding cut.
Although Kingston Council officers recommended that the organisation have its grant money reduced from $37,000 to $25,000, a late change was moved by councillors at their June public meeting to restore it. The funding request was approved - it will receive $37,000 per annum between 2024 and 2027.
The News apologises for the error.

Men arrested after chase
TWO men have been charged over a chase in an allegedly stolen car which spanned from Aspendale, to Dandenong, to Seaford.
Police allege they saw a stolen Hyundai driving erratically near the Nepean Highway in Aspendale at 12.45am in the early hours of 1 July. They followed the car to the South Gippsland Freeway in Dandenong, then failed to pull it over on Eastlink.
Police then allege they followed the car along the Nepean Highway from Parkdale to Seaford. They used a tyre deflation device on Seaford Road, and stopped the car on Oliphant Way.
Police allege one of the men in the car attempted to flee in a Ford Ranger parked nearby. The two men were quickly arrested.
A 31-year-old Cranbourne South man was charged with theft of motor vehicle, dangerous driving whilst being pursued by police, unlicensed driving, and fail to stop on police direction. A 28-year-old Springvale man was charged with two counts of theft of motor vehicle. They are both scheduled to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 23 July.
In a statement, Victoria Police said its Operation “Trinity” is focused on stopping road offences. “Operation Trinity, which runs every single night until dawn is Victoria Police’s most well-resourced frontline polic-
ing operation at present. There are 70 additional police rostered each night, on top of existing patrols. This includes frontline officers, Highway Patrol members, the Dog Squad, Public Order Response Team, and Air Wing,” Victoria Police said. “As a result of this intense focus, police have made over 1,400 arrests relating to burglaries and car thefts –with the overwhelming majority of these offenders’ children. A further 2300 night shift arrests have also been made for other criminal offending due to the strong police presence as part of Operation Trinity.”
Mystery photos on foreshore
PHOTOGRAPH slides showing a wedding and a holiday have shown up on the Seaford Foreshore.
The slides were handed to Frankston Police Station on 30 June. They were found opposite Seaford Foodworks.
The slides are titled “Madrid Segovia Spain May 2000” and “Helena and Ned’s Wedding 6th May 2000”.
To claim the photos contact Frankston Police Station at 9784 5107.
Thousands arrested for family violence
FAMILY violence offenders in Frankston have been targeted by a Victoria Police operation this year.
Victoria Police has arrested 2700 family violence offenders between January and June this year, and has charged them with more than 7500 offences. It says the arrests are the result of a “major police blitz” across the Frankston, Greater Dandenong, Mornington Peninsula, Cardinia, and Casey areas. More than 70 per cent of family violence incidents in the south-eastern suburbs of Victoria occurred in those places.
Frankston was ranked sixth out of 79 Victorian local government areas for number of family violences offences in the year ending March 2024. Casey was ranked first, Dandenong 10th, and the Mornington Peninsula 13th.
Victoria Police Greater Dandenong specialist investigation and support inspector Rod Maroney said that police had arrested a family violence offender “every hour-and-a-half” in 2024.
“Almost half of our workload relates to family violence, and we have made an enormous number of arrests this year. More than 7,500 charges laid against perpetrators shows just how seriously we treat family violence. That is an average of 17 arrests every day,” he said.
Victoria Police Mornington Peninsula inspector Terry Rowlands said “while more family reports may sound disheartening, we’re encouraged that it means more people can access help and police have an opportunity to intervene and prevent further harm.”
“We also know the amount of proactive work that family violence detectives are undertaking each day, such as knocking on the doors of known perpetrators and victims, is identifying offending that would otherwise go undetected,” he said.
For family violence support contact Safe Steps at 1800 015 188 or email safesteps@safesteps.org.au. In an emergency call 000.
Among the arrests made this year are a 41-year-old woman charged over the alleged stabbing of a 74-yearold woman known to her in February. A 42-year-old man was charged this year after he allegedly stabbed a 70-year-old male family member, before assaulting a 73-year-old female family member. A 42-year-old man was arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman and assaulting a teenage child in the presence of two younger children. In March, a man was arrested for allegedly strangling his partner in front of her primary school-aged child.

Tax cuts in action
WITH the beginning of the new financial year, the federal government’s stage three tax cuts have been applied. The federal government raised changes to the planned stage three tax cuts earlier this year, and has now put them into practice. The 19 per cent tax rate has been reduced to 16 per cent, the 32.5 per cent tax rate has been reduced to 30 per cent, and the threshold above which the 37 per cent tax rate applies has been increased from $120,000 to $135,000. The threshold above which the 45 per cent tax rate applies has lifted from $180,000 to $190,000.
Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea says the tax cuts, combined with the $300 energy bill rebate and a freeze on the cost of PBS medicines, would help relieve cost-of-living pressures. “We know that people in Dunkley are under pressure right now. That’s why the Albanese Labor Government is delivering this help now, while delivering on our responsible economic plan to fight inflation and invest in future growth,” she said.
“I know there’s still more to do and I’ll keep working every day to deliver for the people of Dunkley.”
Plan to prevent fire deaths
FIRE Rescue Victoria has issued a plea for people to check their smoke alarms and make plans to prevent fatal house fires this winter.
Children, elderly people, smokers, and people with disabilities are most at-risk of fatal house fires, Fire Rescue Victoria research has found. FRV deputy commissioner of community safety Joshua Fischer says that “planning and practising a home fire escape plan” could be a life-saving exercise.
“When firefighters respond to a house fire, it’s a priority to ensure everyone is out of harm’s way. You can help us - and protect your loved ones – by having an effective home fire escape plan in place, especially during the winter months when we spend more time indoors,” Fischer said.
“Making a home fire escape plan shouldn’t be complicated; in fact your plan needs to be simple enough that everyone can follow it. It could make all the difference in a situation where every second counts.
“Having a plan and practising it with everyone in your household is an essential part of family fire safety. If a fire breaks out in your home, there’s no time to plan. By giving your family a simple plan to follow now, you’re giving them a better chance to survive a life-threatening emergency.”
Among the actions the FRV recommends are practising your plan with everyone in the home, and leaving your keys in the door if the door is deadlocked. It says if a fire starts that residents should “get out and stay out by getting down low and staying out of the smoke.”
“If it is safe, close doors to slow down the spread of fire and smoke. Alert other people on your way out. Meet at a safe place, such as the letterbox out the front of your home. Call Triple Zero from a mobile phone or a neighbour’s phone,” the FRV said.
The CFA responded to 780 house fires in 2023.

Mourners attend pier vigil
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
MOURNERS gathered at Frankston Pier last weekend to remember the life of Andres Pancha. Pancha was a 45-year-old father of three from Cranbourne West. He was allegedly killed while fishing at Frankston Pier on the morning of 29 June. A man has since been charged with his murder. Around 100 people visited Frankston Pier at sunrise on Saturday, 6 July, to take part in a vigil commemorating Pancha.
A gofundme to assist Pancha’s family has raised more than $22,000 so far. The fundraiser organisers wrote “this unimaginable act has left our family devastated and in profound grief. Andres was a kind and gentle soul, known for his love of nature and his passion for fishing. His absence leaves an irreplaceable void in our lives.” Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy was among those to pay tribute to Pancha. He said “I offer my heartfelt condolences to Andres’ family and
friends as they are faced with the profound grief of this distressing situation.”
“Andres was doing something he and many others love – fishing off Frankston Pier. Unfortunately, an unprovoked and random incident has taken Andres away from his beautiful children and loving wife,” the mayor said. “Like many communities across Victoria, incidents of crime are a serious concern. I want to assure everyone that we will continue to work with the state government and Victoria Police to ensure we continue to live in a vibrant and welcoming community.
We are a well-knit, proud and compassionate community that are here for each other regardless of the circumstances.
“I have found it heartwarming to see our community showing their support and compassion for this family and everyone impacted by this tragedy. I know this support will continue in the days and weeks ahead.”
36-year-old Forrest Stevenson has been charged with Pancha’s murder.

Home for reptiles now open
MOONLIT Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park in Pearcedale opened its new reptile centre on Thursday, 4 July.
The sanctuary’s newest attraction includes venomous snakes, pythons, a freshwater crocodile, green tree frogs, and a range of lizards in purpose-built reptile habitats.
Each habitat in the new reptile centre has been designed to cater to the specific needs of its inhabitants, with precise requirements for temperature, humidity, water quality, and lighting. The centre has seven climate-controlled zones that provide basking, climbing, and camouflage areas. The enclosures replicate south eastern bushland, Central Australia, and the scrubland of Western Australia.
The sanctuary’s owner and director Michael Johnson said “our reptile centre represents a significant milestone in our mission to inspire and educate our guests about the critical role amphibians and reptiles play in our ecosystems.”
“This new space highlights some of Australia’s wildlife that don’t always receive a lot of love but are crucial to our ecosystems. It allows us to continue our mission of strengthening the bond between humans and wildlife by providing access and education around a great range of fascinating reptiles and fostering an appreciation for them,” he said.
Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park is at 550 Tyabb-Tooradin Road, Pearcedale.

HISTORY’S GREATEST HEISTS WITH PIERCE BROSNAN
SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm
Armed with an engaging, debonair panache reminiscent of his role as super-spy agent James Bond, here Pierce Brosnan (pictured left) gets to indulge in more tales of skullduggery and deception. The difference is, they are ripped from real life. “You can’t make these up,” asserts Brosnan in his pleasing and rather commanding Irish lilt. This fast-paced eight-episode assignment begins with the $100 million Antwerp diamond heist in 2003.
This sprightly game show celebrates all things Australian from a blak perspective. Delving into sport, music, food and people, it’s a lighthearted and playful trek through history that proudly looks at the Australian experience “the way we were not taught in school”. Join hosts Narelda Jacobs (The Point) and Steven Oliver (Black Comedy), both pictured right, with team captains rapper Barkaa and triple j’s Dave Woodhead.

RSPCA urges Victorians to desex their pets
by RSPCA Victoria
RSPCA Victoria is urging pet owners to get their pets desexed this July for National Desexing Month and prevent unplanned litters overrunning shelters and blowing out household budgets.
The Victorian Government’s Pet Census showed Victorian households spend $3,664 per year on average on a dog, and $2,134 per year on a cat. With litters of up to 12 animals, unplanned pet pregnancies can be incredibly costly.
Last year, more than 65% of cats and kittens and 57% of dogs and puppies coming into RSPCA Victoria’s shelters weren’t desexed, a combined annual increase of 2%.
The busiest time of year is ‘kitten season’, from September to November, where unplanned litters often overwhelm animal shelters, and with it costing nearly $60 per day per animal, it puts even more pressure on already strained resources.
Desexing your pet is a relatively simple surgery that actually has number of additional benefits people don’t know about.
Desexed animals are generally less likely to get diseases such as urine infections, mammary and ovarian diseases in females and perineal hernias, testicular and prostate cancer in males. Your pet is also less likely to roam if they are desexed, local councils often have cheaper registration fees, and research has shown they also tend to live longer, happier lives.
RSPCA Victoria is currently running Operation Wanted, an initiative where vets offer 20% off your furry friend’s desexing operation before 31 August 2024.
Register online today at operationwanted.com. au for 20% off your cat and dog desexing. Further benefits to desexing your pet also can be found on the RSPCA Knowledgebase.
thank you!
Kingston City Council would like to thank everyone who provided feedback on the proposal to remove the mandatory desexing order for dogs in Kingston this year.
More than 60% of those who participated in the community consultation were in favour of retaining the mandatory desexing order for dogs, and at the June 2024 Council Meeting, Kingston’s Councillors resolved that mandatory desexing would remain.
This means that all dogs and cats registered in Kingston must be desexed, unless a valid exemption (including veterinary advice) can be provided.

SES unit appoints new controller
THE Frankston SES unit has appointed its first ever female unit controller.
Brooke Bird has been appointed to the role for the next two years. Bird, a 14-year member of the SES, has been serving as the acting controller of the Frankston SES and oversaw the opening of Skye satellite unit earlier this year. She has also been a section leader and a deputy controller during her time with the State Emergency Service.
In a statement, the Frankston SES said it “couldn’t be prouder” about Bird’s appointment.
“Brooke has been successful in securing the two year permanent term as unit controller. This is a special announcement as Brooke is the first female appointed controller in the permanent role at Frankston Unit,” Frankston SES said. “She is a fierce advocate for our community, the unit membership and the Victoria State Emergency Service as a whole. Brooke is a dedicated volunteer within her community and is committed to making a positive impact within our local area.”

Approach nuclear option with necessary caution
While nuclear power proponents emphasise the longevity and potential of nuclear plants, several critical issues warrant caution (Debate nuclear power, Letters 2/7/24).
The initial cost of nuclear power is substantial and while it is suggested this is an investment, the financial burden on taxpayers cannot be ignored. Government ownership of nuclear plants does not eliminate the risks and high costs of maintenance, security, and waste disposal. These expenses could strain public resources, diverting funds from other essential services.
The lifespan of 80 to 100 years for nuclear plants overlooks the risks associated with ageing infrastructure. Ageing plants become more susceptible to accidents and costly upgrades. Rapid technological advancements could also render current nuclear plants obsolete.
Nuclear waste remains a critical concern, with no foolproof method for safe, long-term storage. This presents ongoing environmental and health risks for future generations.
Regarding renewable energy, while replacing solar panels, batteries and wind turbines every 25-30 years is a consideration, advancements in technology are continuously improving their efficiency and lifespan. Renewable energy systems offer flexibility and scalability, allowing for a diversified energy portfolio.
The growing electricity demand due to electric vehicles can be met with renewable energy coupled with energy storage solutions and smart grid technologies, providing reliable and sustainable energy even during low solar or wind activity. Finally, the economic benefits of cheap and reliable electricity are not exclusive to nuclear power. Investing in renewable energy can create jobs, stimulate local economies, and attract
industries interested in sustainable practices.
While the debate on nuclear power is important, we must carefully weigh the risks and long-term implications. Renewable energy offers a safer, more adaptable, and economically viable path forward for our community.
Simon May, Mornington
Nuclear changes
Many comments have been made about nuclear energy. As far back as 2017, [the Nationals’]
Barnaby Joyce ruled it out due to cost. [Liberal] Angus Taylor stated in 2018 that nuclear was a long way off. A mere two years ago, [Liberal leader Peter] Dutton didn’t support big nuclear here. He was opposed to it.
I agree that politicians can change their minds, which has often proved fruitful. And here we are again with changing minds, thoughts, and ideas. It will be interesting as time passes as to what stays and what gets left behind.
Dutton’s detailed information is crucial to creating a well-structured acceptance plan, emphasising the importance of careful planning and future decisions.

Seaweed under threat
The innovative seaweed business established by Mornington Peninsula local Cameron Hines shows the way forward (‘Superfood’ seaweed food with grand visions, The News 26/6/24).
While most of us associate seaweed in diets with Japan, Australia’s First Nations people and other countries with seaborders have a rich history of eating seaweed too. However, as oceans warm, kelp forests are increasingly at risk.
In 2012, the Australian government declared giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests endangered. Around 95 per cent of our giant kelp forests have disappeared as global warming increased the strength and temperatures of the Eastern Australian Current (EAC) creating an environment too hot for the giant kelp to survive. The map of previous giant kelp forests is revealing.
The work of Southern Seagreens to nurture local kelp supported by a Council Climate Change grant is important.
Giant kelp can grow half a metre a day reaching 30 to 80 metres in length, meaning kelp forests can sequester carbon up to 30 times faster than terrestrial forests, an effective carbon sink.
Australia has one of the longest coastlines so the potential for local kelp to play a role in combating climate change is significant.
In addition to traditional land-based agriculture, a well managed seaweed industry can also help Australian farming become even more sustainable.
Reducing methane burps is another story. Ray Peck, Hawthorn
Kindness and respect?
A comforting headline, Lobbying for peninsula in Canberra, along with our Zoe McKenzie’s Peninsula Post promotion nonsense. And the reality, Rye isn’t Rye anymore. No negative gearing, capital gains concessions, profits, the rich getting richer and friends moving for cheaper rent, or camping? Our new Governor-general “kindness, care and respect” if only. Hypocrisy is a given here on our Mornington Liberal Peninsula, positivity a survival necessity. What, me worry? One freezing day at a time.

Let them eat scones!
I’ve received Zoe McKenzie’s latest issue of Peninsula Post in the mail.
I’m glad wheelbarrows full of our taxpayer’s money are being used to print this when the average person on the street is battling to afford to buy food due to the cost of living crisis.
But don’t fear anyone, Zoe has included a scone recipe.
Is this her Marie-Antoinette moment?
But Zoe, your subjects cannot afford bread!
“Let them eat scones!”
Zoe, can you spare me a cup of flour?

Freeze won’t happen
Were Frankston councillors just playing politics when they passed a motion asking for a report from council officers to freeze rates? (City considers freezing rates, The News 2/7/24)
This motion was brought before council just months before the coming October council elections and will be dealt with after the elections. How can the state government freeze land tax when it needs revenue to just pay for interest on its massive debt?
Yarra Council is asking the state government for increased revenue to keep state roads in its city clean, maybe Frankston Council can make savings doing a similar thing where the council carries out state government services. It would be good to freeze rates but the reality is that this will not occur.
This is politics being played out.

Mr Fairnie departs for Ararat posting
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
AFTER a residence of about five years in Frankston, as mechanic in charge of the telephone system on the Peninsula, Mr. R. E. Fairnie will take his departure on the 17th inst. for Ararat, to which district he has been transferred to take up a similar position to which he filled here.
During Mr. Fairnie’s stay in this district he has made himself very popular with those with whom he came in contact, and has taken a leading part in most of the amusements of the town and district.
He was secretary of the Frankston Football Club for two years and president of the Tennis Club for a similar period, and also took a leading part on the committee which was formed for the park improvement fund, filling the position of secretary to that body up to the present time.
We wish Mr. Fairnie every success in his new sphere of labor, and hope that when he visits us on his holidays he will see his cherished hope of making the oval in the park second to none in the State.
A VERY pleasant surprise party was held on Tuesday last, July 8, at the residence of. Mr. P. Montague, “The Bulb Farm,” Humphries Road, Frankston, when about fifty persons attended to do honor to Mr. Montague by celebrating his birthday.
Dancing, singing, and games were indulged in and enjoyed by all until near midnight, when a most delightful supper, which had been provided by the ladies, was partaken of. After supper the merriment was
continued until the small hours of the morning when the singing of “He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” brought a most enjoyable night to a close.

ON Tuesday last, while effecting repairs at the corner of Bay and Playne streets, Frankston, the manager of the local gas works (Mr. Friend) suddenly became overcome with the fumes and collapsed.
Dr. C. Maxwell was at once summoned and applied the necessary restoratives. We understand that Mr. Friend has now quite recovered, and has been able to resume duty again. ***
DURING the football match, which took place on Friday last at Carrum, between the Frankston and Carrum State school teams, it s alleged that some mean thief rifled the pocket of the Frankston team, and thus deprived the boys of their pocket money.

ARBOR Day was celebrated at Moorooduc on July 4, it being one of the finest days experienced at Moorooduc for some time.
Over twenty parents and friends attended at the school. After a speech from the popular schoolmaster, Mr. Scott, the ceremony of the planting was gone on with.
Mr. Lillywhite kindly instructed the children how to trim, prune, and plant the trees, each one being held by one of the elder children.
Races and sports were then conducted, over £2/5/- being distributed among the children; each child on the ground receiving a prize. The money for same was collected from parents.
The children and friends then sat
down to a bountiful tea, which was much appreciated, full justice being done to the good things provided.
Three hearty cheers were given, and as the children left the ground they were handed a bag of lollies, which were presented by members of the school committee and school master.
Mr. Hinkins thanked the parents and friends on behalf of the school committee. The school-master also thanked them, as it was a big help to him, and showed they had the interest of the children at heart, and he hoped it was only one of many such gatherings.

THE want of an up-to-date watch maker and jeweller in Frankston has been a long-felt one, but in the much desired direction, Mr. C. G. Parnell, whose attractive advertisement appears elsewhere in this issue, is now meeting the demand of many, the watches of whom require the services of a professional in the art of repairing.
Mr. Parnell, erstwhile of Malvern, has had extensive experience in his calling, and for a period of six-and-ahalf years was with the well-known manufacturing jeweller, of Melbourne, Mr. C. R. Foster.

FOOTBALL
Hastings were at home to the Navy on Saturday last, and again suffered defeat at the hands of the visitors who proved too good a combination right throughout. Especially their rucks and their high-marking, in which the local boys could hardly hold their own, and as the Navy boys are a much taller and heavier team and being trained to the hour, it could hardly be expected for the home team to win, but they stuck manfully to their task, and though beaten rather easily were, by no means disgraced and they took their defeat in the true sportsmanlike spirit, as they were beaten by a better team.
The day being good for football a fair number were present to witness the match, but the football was not of the highest standard, as the ground was still in a shocking condition after the recent rains, and players found it very difficult to keep their feet owing to its bad state.
An unusual incident occurred in the first quarter of the match, and about 20 minutes of the quarter had gone, when it was discovered that the Naval Depot had 19 men in the field.
The field umpire at once stopped the game and lined both teams up, when such was proved to be the case.
As the Navy boys had scored two goals up to that time, the field umpire ordered their score to be taken off and to start off afresh, and, as it happened, it did not cause them much alarm, as they ran out easy winners.
The best players for the Navy were Guest, Griffith, McLeay, Marchant, Le Fevre, and others unknown to the writer; whilst for the losers the best were “Nipper” Floyd, who had his work cut out in the ruck; Andy Amendola (capt.), who played a great game, and who gets more than his share of the hard knocks; the Jack brothers, who are always consistent; Frank Mirabella, Donny Knox, W. Armstrong, G. Hayson, A. Hammond, ably assisted by R. Wiseman, E. Amendola, F. Smith, and the one hand boy, Jack Mirabella, who played a great game full back.
The field umpire, Primrose, carried out his duties to the satisfaction of all.

Lewis Diggins, Kurt Lo Po, Alexander Browne, Colby Nayna, and Kyle Yorke were Edi-Asp’s best. Diggins scored six goals, and Lo Po scored two.
Chelsea now sits in third place. Second-placed Devon Meadows also suffered a loss last weekend - the Panthers succumbed to their third defeat of 2024 at the hands of Somerville.
Somerville played host to Devon Meadows on Saturday. The home side dominated from the outset, and never looked like losing.
Somerville upset Devon Meadows 16.16 (112) to 7.9 (51). Lachlan Williams contributed four goals to the scoreboard, and Mason de Wit booted three.
Crib Point kept up their good run of form with a win over Bonbeach last weekend. The Magpies beat the Sharks 4.10 (34) to 7.8 (50) away from home.

Merry-go-round in full swing
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
NEW signings and player axings stole the limelight last week with Baxter featuring prominently.
Noah Green, Joey Bucello and Robbie O’Toole were released by Baxter while Ryan Brown has left on a pre-planned overseas trip.
Green had a stellar season last year and will likely join a club closer to his Southbank home.
It’s believed that there has been an undercurrent of unrest among a section of the playing group throughout the season and head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor decided that action had to be taken.
That resulted in last week’s cull.
But Taylor already has plans to reinforce the senior squad.
Last week he signed 22-year-old midfielder Davide Sbalchiero from USMA Padova, a youth sports academy based near Padua in northern Italy.
“Davide arrived in Australia on 12 June then trained a couple of times with Mornington before joining us last Tuesday,” Taylor said.
“He can play anywhere across the midfield, is technically very good, fit, strong and has a massive, massive engine.
“We’ve applied for an ITC (International Transfer Clearance) so hopefully it comes through quickly.”
There is another overseas player on Taylor’s radar but he’s keeping tight-lipped at this stage.
The changes at Baxter Park aren’t confined to the senior squad with news that Peter Blasby has replaced Stuart Mitchell who has resigned as goalkeeping coach.
Blasby has an extensive playing and specialist coaching CV and takes up his new role this week.
Peninsula Strikers have signed former Bentleigh United Cobras, South Springvale and Springvale White Eagles player Justin Eiman.
The New Zealand-born Eiman can play as a left winger or attacking midfielder.
Strikers also have signed Kyron Kerr from Berwick who can play as a central midfielder or at the back but winger Taylan Geylan has returned to Dandenong South.
State 2 rival Skye United failed in a determined bid to sign former striker Leo McLeod who had been playing with Casey Comets but is believed to have joined Knox City.
However Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness was able to clinch the signature of ex-Langwarrin defender or wing back Nic Millar from Comets.
In VPL1 Langwarrin lost 2-1 at home to Kingston City on Friday night.
The home team got off to a flyer when Brad Blumenthal capped off Tom Youngs’ brilliant solo run and cutback with a first-time finish at the back post after four minutes.
Ironically kamikaze defending in the 32nd minute from experienced central defender Luke Adams gifted the equaliser to Kingston’s Japanese striker Rei Ono whose artful curled finish from just inside the box gave Langy keeper Griffin Bambach little chance.
Four minutes later Mo Rahimi played a one-two on the edge of the area then bent his shot with the outside of his right foot and Kingston had a lead it
would not relinquish.
In State 1 news Mornington let slip a 4-1 lead when losing 5-4 away to South Springvale on Saturday.
Ryan Paczkowski (2), Halil Reki and an own goal from Kelsey Dal Rozzo accounted for Mornington’s haul and the pre-season promotion fancy is now fully embroiled in a relegation dogfight.
Daniel Brooks made his second appearance for the Seagulls since returning from VPL2 outfit Beaumaris while Kostas Droutsas completely blindsided the local club when he signed for State 2 league leader Bayside Argonauts last week.
Droutsas was one of Mornington’s marquee offseason captures but suffered an ACL injury before the opening round.
The club reported that it was season-ending hence its surprise at his transfer.
In State 2 news Skye United’s 4-1 home win over North Caulfield last Thursday night could prove to be one of its most important results of the season as it strives to escape the relegation zone.
Skye led at half-time thanks to Charlie Jeffs who followed up Mitch Blake’s initial attempt in the 40th minute.
North Caulfield’s Michael Schneider levelled at the second attempt seven minutes into the second stanza but Alex Roberts restored Skye’s lead in the 61st minute when he knocked in a Mark O’Connor cross.
In the 68th minute Roberts turned provider to put through substitute Alex Van Heerwaarden and the big man finished well into the bottom corner.
The icing on Skye’s cake came in the 85th minute when Arash Sadeghi’s dangerous cross was inadvertently turned in by North Caulfield defender Samuel Cropman.
Peninsula Strikers kept their promotion push on track with an impressive 5-2 home win over Mooroolbark on Saturday.
This one was done and dusted by half-time with Strikers leading 3-0.

ble in the 13th minute to open the scoring.
It was 2-0 in the 24th minute when Billy Rae and Cooper Andrews combined with the latter’s early low ball into the box finding Tommy Wood who took a touch then coolly slotted the ball into the bottom corner.
Alert Strikers keeper Faraz Zenoozi took a quick free-kick in the 36th minute releasing Campbell Steedman whose superb first touch took him past the Barkers full back.
Steedman then whipped in a wicked cross that Wood met with a side-footed volley for a gem of a goal.
Mooroolbark hit back early in the second half through Ross Clark but Steedman made it 4-1 in the 70th minute after being put through by Gordon.
Substitutes Jai Power and Josh Botha combined in the 89th minute with Power greeting Botha’s first-time cross with a left-foot finish.
The Barkers gave another yelp in injury time through a fierce strike from substitute Anthony Di Crea but by then the visitors were well beaten.
In State 3 news Frankston Pines lost 2-1 to Rowville Eagles at Monterey Reserve on Friday night with Cal Bradbury scoring for Pines.
Former Pines attacking midfielder Thomas Dunn is trialling with A-League outfit Sydney FC. Dunn played for Pines in 2022 before returning to Fiji and becoming a national team regular.
In State 4 news Chelsea had a resounding 4-1 home win over Endeavour United on Saturday to move into third place on the table just three points behind Monash University.
The game doubles as the Carlo Melino Cup and Chelsea’s scorers were Daniel Vella (2), Daniel Lewis and ace hitman James Stinson who now has a three-goal lead over Hampton Park United striker Naseem Rasekh in the race for league Golden Boot honours.
Baxter did Chelsea a favour when it drew 2-2 with Monash University.
Baxter’s scorers were Brody Taylor and Logan Wilson who notched his first goal at senior level after being a late inclusion in the matchday squad.
Somerville Eagles and Mentone both lost to lower ranked opponents last weekend.
Somerville was at home but went down 4-3 to Lyndale United while Mentone lost 1-0 away to Sandown Lions.
Josh Simmons (2) and Corey Riddle scored for Somerville.
In State 5 news Rosebud remains unbeaten on top of the ladder after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Aspendale at Olympic Park on Saturday evening.
Ageing Rosebud striker Mark Pagliarulo was at pains to claim the opening goal after referee Richard Lewis mistakenly put Andy Jerez down as the scorer.
That was early in the second half and a couple of minutes later Aspendale responded through Luca Bozzo whose curling shot found the top corner.
But six minutes later the league pacesetter struck the killer blow when a Ben Symonds header sealed the win.
Seaford United and Mount Eliza shared the spoils in an entertaining 1-1 draw at North Seaford Reserve last weekend.
The best chance of the opening exchanges came in the 23rd minute after Seaford defender Paul
Aitchison gave the ball away and big Ray Amiri had a one-on-one with Seaford keeper Alfonso Cardinale.
The Seaford custodian was up to the task and his excellent reflex save kept Amiri at bay.
A minute later a top-class finish from Logan Johnston broke the deadlock when he got free on the right and angled a low strike across Mount Eliza keeper Luke Armao and inside the far post. If there’s a chink in the armour of former Fijian international Nickel Chand it is his temperament but despite attempts to wind him up he remained on the pitch and the biggest threat to the home team.
Two pivotal moments in the second half were Cardinale’s send-off for inexplicably handling outside his area and minutes later Chand’s clever freekick that beat Seaford’s defensive wall and backup keeper Bayleigh Caulfield for the equaliser. It was no less that the visitors deserved in a performance that tested their higher-ranked opponent every step of the way.
Seaford featured new signing Danny Topping who slotted seamlessly into a defensive midfield role and is a former Bentleigh Cobras, Richmond and Ringwood City player.
Mount Martha won its second game of the season when it downed home team Casey Panthers 2-0 on Saturday.
A goal in each half capped an excellent team performance from the Mariners heading into next weekend’s derby showdown with Mount Eliza. David Jones opened the scoring in the 5th minute when he slid in to finish an excellent cross and Dan Bancroft increased the lead in the 63rd minute.
The club’s leading scorer took on a defender then cut inside and struck a well-placed shot into the corner of goal.
In other news Football Victoria emailed State League clubs last week to inform them that the final round of the league season has been rescheduled to Saturday 7 September with kick-off times of 11am for the reserves game and 1pm for the senior game.
The only fixture exempt from this decree is the North Caulfield v Mooroolbark game as North Caulfield is a Jewish club and doesn’t play during daylight hours on Saturdays.
FV’s email said that it has taken this step to enable the wider football community to attend its showcase NPL finals.
No consultation was conducted with clubs prior to the email landing in their inbox and no feedback was invited.
It’s a done deal and seems sure to trigger an earlier than expected start to end-of-season parties for local clubs with little likelihood that they’ll make the long trek to the NPL finals venue at La Trobe University.
