Abuse inquiry recommendations accepted
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
EVERY recommendation from an inquiry into historical sexual abuse at Beaumaris Primary School and other government schools will be implemented by the state government.
The inquiry published its final report in March after hearing from nearly 70 abuse victims. Its work focused on allegations against four people employed by Beaumaris Primary School between 1971 and
1972 – Graham Steele, Darrell Ray, David MacGregor, and a person who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Last week, the state government announced that all nine recommendations from the inquiry’s final report would be accepted. It will spend more than $48 million to take action.
A “statewide independent truthtelling process” will be established by the state government to hear from victims of historical sexual abuse at government schools prior to 2000. It will also initiate a review into the handling of historical child sexual
abuse matters across the government. Both of those are expected to be complete by 2026, when the state government plans to issue its formal apology in Parliament.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan said that by accepting the recommendations, the state government was acknowledging “we failed”.
“We failed to keep these children safe. We failed to listen when they spoke out. We failed to act to ensure that it did not happen again,” Allan said. “It was also a failure of morality. What else can it possibly be –when the reputation of the education
system was given higher regard than the safety of its children. Young, bright, beautiful children for whom school should have been a place of joy. Instead, for many, it became a place of horror and fear. “Often, the impact was enduring. The ripple effect of abuse – impacting people’s health, mental health, life outcomes and relationships with loved ones. Impacting their belief in themselves and the world around them. Despite it all – they’ve shown the most incredible courage. A determination to protect others in a way that they weren’t. I want to thank the
men and women who brought us to this day.”
The abuse inquiry also heard allegations made against two other former Beaumaris Primary School employees. In October 2023 the inquiry confirmed that 24 schools would be included in the scope of the investigation, including Chelsea Heights Primary School, Cowes Primary School, Drouin South Primary School, Kunyung Primary School, Warragul Primary School, and the closed Bundalong South Primary School (“School abuse inquiry concludes” The News 13/3/2024).

Photographer’s outback inspiration
AWARD winning Bonbeach photographer, videographer, and storyteller Lucy Di Paolo is almost a regular on the dusty tracks of remote New South Wales opal mining town Lightning Ridge.
Di Paolo’s keen interest in the offthe-beaten track is personal; she is inspired by her late mother’s passion for the black opal, a treasure not easily
yielded by the ancient rocks and crannies in this far-flung settlement.
“I embarked on a personal journey to discover why the black opal lured my mother, just as it does so many others to abandon the security and comforts of mainstream society for life in this harsh remote mining town called Lightning Ridge,” she said. Di Paolo has been back to Lighting
Ridge many times, and says her intrepid travels in the harsh environment have given birth to new friendships, personal discoveries of inner strength and fortitude, and a cathartic outpouring of creativity in her book and documentary Fragile Black Heart, which premiered on SBS on Sunday 23 June.

‘Amazing’ students celebrate fundraiser
TEACHERS at Edithvale Primary School took the cold plunge last week to raise money for the FightMND foundation.
More than a dozen teachers and community leaders jumped into the ice bath last Tuesday for the fundraiser. The event was organised by student leaders at Edithvale Primary School.
Edithvale Primary School acting Principal Hayley Grindley was among those who took part. She said the event was “a great success”.
“Another year at Edithvale Primary School supporting Fight MND. Our student leadership team – our kids from Year 5 and 6 – are just so amazing and hardworking, and today’s it’s paid off,”
Grindley said. “It was icy. I tried not to get my head and mouth in the water but I copped the whole thing.”
Kingston councillor Hadi Saab also attended. He said “Fight MND is really getting traction. Year on year I see it building and I see more schools and community groups getting on board and it’s fantastic to see.”
Staikos steps down
VETERAN Kingston councillor Steve Staikos has resigned from council.
Staikos was first elected to Kingston Council in 2008. He has since served four terms as mayor, most recently between 2020 and 2022.
Earlier this year, Staikos was appointed the state secretary of the Victorian Labor Party. He said that he would depart council to focus his efforts on the new role.
“I’ve been appointed the state secretary of the Victorian Labor Party - given the scale of those work commitments and the fact I was planning on not recontesting at the election, I have decided to leave council a little bit early,” Staikos said.
Staikos highlighted his work establishing the Chain of Parks and the Bay Trail as among the highlights of his 16 years on council. “So many things have happened over that time, but seeing the Green Wedge Chain of Parks take shape was a big aim of mine and the reason I got into council,” he said.
“During the last term we also delivered the Bay Trail - for 25 years people were talking about it and now it’s finally been built. Council is also in a healthy financial position.”
Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns paid tribute to Staikos on her Instagram page. She wrote “after 15 incredible years of service and as mayor emeritus, Steve is heading off to new and exciting opportunities.”
“Over the time Steve served Kingston, he has achieved more than you could hope over a life time. The ripple effects of his wise, compassionate and people focused leadership will be felt for decades and he has been a pivotal figure in shaping our wonderful city,” she said.
Local government elections are due to take place this year in October. The VEC website states that when a councillor resigns within six months of the planned election, the position will remain vacant.

Emma Memma surprises BAM performers
PERFORMERS from BAM Arts in Frankston were treated to a visit from entertainment royalty last week.
In March the BAM Arts crew was scheduled to perform in front of Moomba Monarch Emma Watkins, the former yellow Wiggle now performing under the name Emma Memma. Extreme weather at the Moomba Parade brought those plans to a halt.
Last week, Watkins made a visit to BAM Arts to meet the performers. The BAM Arts cast was overjoyed to see her and put on their planned performance. They showed off four dances for the crowd.
Watkins joined in with the performers for their final dance, and signed the studio wall on her way out. She is expected to return to Frankston in October to perform her Boop and Twirl show at the Frankston Arts Centre.
BAM Arts is a performing arts company for people living with disabilities. It has won numerous awards for its work - for more information on BAM Arts visit bamarts.org.au.

DISCOUNTED pet vaccinations will be on offer in Carrum Downs next week.
RSPCA Victoria will host a low-cost vaccination day at Lyrebird Community Centre on 3 July. It will also host the event at Aspendale Scout Hall on 17 July and 21 August.
RSPCA Victoria head of prevention Rebecca Cook said the organisation is “looking forward to visiting new locations and returning to familiar communities in Melbourne’s southeast.”
“At our last clinic in Carrum Downs, we saw 23 pets from 18 local families, and we can’t wait to hit the road again and meet more furry friends,” she said. “RSPCA Victoria has run almost 80 low-cost vaccination events across Melbourne since July last year, where we have saved each pet owner at least $50 on average per pet. We want to help people care for their pets by increasing their access to preventative veterinary care, which supports lifelong bonds among families with their cats and dogs.” Dogs can be vaccinated for $59.

Crisis-hit club appoints new committee
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
A NEW committee was appointed to administer the Mt Eliza Junior Football Club last week.
Eight Mt Eliza JFC committee members resigned earlier this year, and the process undertaken to replace them has put the club in the firing line. Last month the Frankston and District Junior Football League banned the club from hosting home games and publicly stated that the club was not compliant with its own constitution (“Kids kicked out of home ground” The News 28/5/2024).
A special general meeting was held on 19 June to address the club’s issues. The outcome of the meeting was the appointment of a new Mt Eliza JFC committee - The News understands seven people chosen to serve on the MEJFC committee earlier this year were formally appointed to the new committee. An investigation into alleged breaches of club policy was also agreed to last week.
Two items were on the agenda at the meeting - the first was a “motion of no confidence” to “remove the existing committee and elect a new executive and general committee”.
Mark McCudden has been appointed the new club president. In a statement to club members he said “I am honoured to have been appointed to lead this committee and excited to harness the enormous passion and goodwill that exists among our families. You
are the cornerstone of our proud club, and your continued support cannot be overstated.”
“Our immediate focus is to have the structure and processes in place that meet the FDJFL’s expectations to enable us to stage home games as quickly as possible. Over the past few weeks, everyone’s patience has been tested so we want to have this in place as soon
as we can. The FDJFL said last night that an indicative return date on home games is the weekend after this one, Sunday 30 June. The first major step in this happening was to elect a committee that was deemed constitutional. That has been achieved,” he said. “The second resolution passed last night was for an investigation into any possible breaches of the club’s constitution, poli-
cies or code of conduct. We recognise that this needs to be undertaken independently, professionally, thoroughly and above all, sensitively and respectfully to everyone involved.”
In a statement released before last week’s special meeting, the FDJFL stated that it believed that the committee appointed earlier this year was “unable to function constitutionally.”
Around 200 parents from Mt Eliza JFC attended the SGM last Wednesday.
Investigations resume into wind terminal effects
Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au
REACTION has been mixed to news that studies will resume into the environmental effects on Western Port of a terminal to assemble offshore wind turbines near Hastings.
Business lobby group the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula “welcomes the news” while the Save Westernport group has said the Port of Hastings Corporation will need to prove “that all environmental impacts can be managed”.
Plans for the terminal to assemble and ship wind terminals offshore to Gippsland were put on hold in January when federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek’s rejected the project for having “unaccep-
table and unmitigable risks to the Ramsar Wetlands of Western Port” (Federal veto a blow to terminal plans, The News 10/1/24).
However, the Port of Hastings Corporation has announced that work on the Environment Effects Statement (EES) process for the Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal is “progressing” and that it “will develop the terminal project in consultation with Traditional Owners, local communities and industry”.
The port authority said the “comprehensive assessments … [would] recognise the important environmental, heritage and community values of Western Port”.
The resumption of the environmental studies has been confirmed by the state Ports Minister Melissa Horne and the Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio.
The Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula issued a news release saying the state budget included $17 million to continue planning and designing the renewable energy terminal at Hastings.
It sees the assembly terminal as a “crucial part” of Victoria’s offshore wind industry and in May called for the EES process to continue following the awarding of feasibility licenses by the federal government off Gippsland.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, which will also decide on the wind terminal application, is a community partner of the committee but does not have a representative on its board.
The proposed terminal is earmarked for 25-hectares on what is known as the Old Tyabb Reclamation Area between Esso’s Long Island Point jetty and the BlueScope
“The Port of Hastings has many attributes which make it an ideal location for an offshore wind assembly port, including large areas of appropriately zoned land close to deep water channels and proximity to proposed offshore wind farms off the Gippsland and southern ocean region coasts,” the Hastings port corporation said.
Save Westernport says while the project is central to the state government achieving its emissions reduction targets (75-80 per cent by 2035 and net-zero by 2050) they must not come at the expense of Western Port’s “critical biodiversity and precious internationally recognised Ramsar wetlands”.
“Like many people, we assumed the federal decision would override the state’s plans for Western Port, but in this case it

seems the Victorian government is free to take a second bite of the cherry,” the group’s president Jane Carnegie said.
“We have made it clear to the port that as they prepare their EES, we’ll be watching every step of the way ... the bar will be very, very high.”
Carnegie said the project would have to be “substantially revised … including the large areas of capital dredging and land reclamation initially proposed in the application”.
“And this must be the only project under consideration in the Port of Hastings. Without doubt, Western Port has no capacity for the enormous, environmentally disastrous ‘zombie’ HESC coal to hydrogen project: ... [and] we call on the Victorian government to reject that exploitative carbon-intensive project once and for all”

Breast cancer patient finds safe space at The Bays
With a family history of breast cancer, Mornington resident and mother of two, Samantha Dickason was vigilant about checking her breasts for lumps. So she was shocked to be diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer in December last year.
On the day she was due to get her routine breast screening, Sam found a lump like a hard pea and quickly made an appointment with her GP, who sent her for a mammogram, ultrasound and a biopsy. After the biopsy showed it was breast cancer, Sam’s GP immediately referred her to breast surgeon, Dr Belinda Brown at The Bays, to have the tumour removed in December.
“I spent 4 nights in hospital at The Bays and the nurses and staff were just amazing, as was Belinda – she came and visited me every day after surgery.”
“Two weeks after surgery I was told that it was grade 3 cancer so Belinda and my oncologist, Zee Wan Wong agreed that I needed both chemotherapy and radiation therapy.”
Thankfully Sam also had the support of McGrath Breast Care Nurses - Giselle, Rachel and Jo - who are based at The Bays, to guide her through this difficult time.
“During treatment, The Bays became my safe space as I saw the familiar faces of my incredible oncology nurses, the McGrath Breast Care Nurses, my oncologist and surgeon. I knew the building and parking was easy! These
sound like little things, but they greatly reduced the stress.”
“Because The Bays doesn’t yet provide radiation therapy, I had to travel to Frankston for this treatment and it was daunting and terrifying. It was also exhausting driving to and from Frankston every day for 15 days, and I was already fatigued from chemo treatment.”
“I would have loved to have had my radiation treatment at The Bays where I felt so comfortable. The new Cancer Care Centre that’s being built will be wonderful for cancer patients, to help them remain in that safe space.”
The need for advanced and comprehensive cancer care on the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding areas is predicted to increase well beyond what the region can currently provide.
In the 2021 census, 4.7% of Mornington Peninsula residents listed cancer as a long-term health condition. This is considerably higher than the Victorian and Australian reported figures of 2.8% and 2.9% respectively.
By 2032 it is anticipated that almost 30,000 local residents will require treatment for cancer or a haematological diagnosis.*
While The Bays Cancer Care Centre is on schedule for completion this August, more funding is required to achieve the fit-out.
A welcome portion of Federal Government funding for the Cancer Care Centre will help deliver Stage 1, the opening of the ground level in early 2025, but a considerable shortfall remains.
As an independent, not-for-profit hospital,
Buy
The Bays now need both community and philanthropic support to help complete this vital first stage of the project, and support those experiencing cancer, like Samantha.

Housing targets are ‘beyond acceptable’
Your heading: ‘Premier encourages planning changes’ (The News, 19/6/24) is putting it mildly. The State Government is pressuring Councils including Kingston to accept housing targets beyond anything our communities find acceptable.
If a Council baulks at these new targets, there is a threat to remove their planning powers.
The reason it has taken 10 years for Council to introduce a new housing strategy has been the tussle between Council, the community and State Government. The community packed out town hall meetings in 2017 to tell Council’s consultants they wanted more trees and less three storey development in their streets. The then Planning Minister ensured there would be more three-storey development by increasing the height limit of the General Residential Zone 2 from 9m to 11m.
Twice, in 2014 and 2020, council adopted housing strategies that would have preserved our neighbourhood character and been more acceptable to our community. Twice, the government sent Council back to the drawing board to come up with more development.
Twice, majorities of residents opposed that extra development.
Council’s population expert told the 2023 planning panel for the new housing strategy between 14,000 and 17,900 new dwellings would be needed by 2041 to meet existing demand. Instead, Council went for an extra 36,000 dwellings: more than double the potential demand.
State Government has upped that to 59,000 extra dwellings, 85 percent up on the existing 69,000 dwellings in Kingston.
Targets are no help unless houses can be built. Experts agree the reason the number of houses built has declined since 2022 is the shortage of labour, materials and building capacity, which is being soaked up by the State Government’s Infrastructure Big Build.
Much of the extra proposed housing development is around the Suburban Rail Loop, which, with its escalating costs and poor connectivity, seems to be an excuse for extra housing density rather than any genuine public transport benefit. Think how many houses could be built if the government called off the SRL and released all the labour and material resources it will require when construction starts in 2026

Preserve Western Port
The announcement that the Victorian government and the Port of Hastings Corporation are pursuing an Environment Effects Statement (EES) (Investigations into wind terminal effects, The News, 26/6/24) is bound to fail, after the federal
government has recently wisely decided that wind turbine industry would be environmentally damaging.
Damage from increased dredging, which would be required for new wharves into the bay to facilitate constant shipping, would be impossible to mitigate in the future. In particular, dredging requires the sea floor being gouged out then deposited onto surrounding land, changing channels and tidal flows, which would affect marine-life habitat (seagrass, etc), as well as natural mangroves and sand banks, which are home for migratory birds and other wildlife.
Importation of foreign pests and diseases on ship’s hulls would also be a serious threat to the ecology of the bay, decades into the future.
I agree with Save Westernport group president Jane Carnegie saying: “We have made it clear to the port that as they prepare their EES, we’ll be watching every step of the way…the bar will be very high”.
I suggest that the bar is so high that their “second bite of the cherry” is impossible to reach. Preserve Westernport forever.
Richard Cumming, Bittern
Wind terminal welcome
Further investigations into a possible wind terminal facility is welcome news (Investigations into wind terminal effects, The News, 18/6/24).
Despite what Peter Dutton says, Australia is moving towards a renewable future and this wind terminal, if environmentally sound, would be another significant piece in the solution. The alternative project to convert coal into hydrogen for export to Japan is environmentally unsound and is just an excuse for Japan to export its carbon dioxide pollution to Australia.

Conservation is vital
Given that almost 60 per cent of the native vegetation that remains on the Peninsula is privately owned, it is excellent that landholders are working together to step up their conservation efforts (Ensuring survival of bushland species, The News , 20/6/24). There are 400 species of indigenous fauna and nearly 700 indigenous plant species that call the Peninsula home. All of us have a responsibility to conserve them by tackling invasive weeds, revegetating degenerated land and creating biolinks. The personal benefits of being outdoors with others helping to protect the natural world are immense. The general public can bolster landowners’ conservation efforts by connecting with one of the 60 “friends of” groups around the Peninsula, thereby supporting nature to thrive. .

A cloak with a story to tell
BALUK Arts in Mount Eliza is inviting the Mornington Peninsula community to a NAIDOC celebration event on Monday 8 July for the unveiling of a Baluk Arts possum skin cloak, created by Baluk artists in collaboration with lead artist and member Iluka Sax-Williams.
Possum skin cloaks hold profound cultural significance for Aboriginal communities across southeastern Australia. Once an everyday item, the cloaks were traditionally worn for warmth and protection, ceremony and burial.
Program coordinator Lochie Bradfield said the cloaks were worn from a young age, with garments starting out with a few skins and then growing over time with the person. The possum skin cloaks were incised, burned and painted with ochre, mapping the identity of their owner and holding stories of clan and country.
Bradfield said the process of revivifying and creating the cloaks fosters a connection to culture, history and country, making it a vital practice in preserving Aboriginal heritage and identity.
Baluk Arts members have had the unique opportunity to engage with this cultural practice
Power problems
Coal - no way, it’s evil. Gas - no way, it’s evil. Wind turbines - yes, acceptable, but not in my backyard, thanks. Solar panel farms - yes, acceptable, but again, not in my backyard. Nuclear - wash your mouth out!
Wonder if opinions will change when Victoria starts having the inevitable rolling blackouts?

Keep Publishing
I believe that your weekly community newspaper is valued by our community.
I recently returned from six weeks holiday and noticed that there were no newspapers in the stands. I was worried that the paper had ceased publication. How happy was I this morning. Noticing that every person who came out from the Richie’s hub had the latest paper in their hand. I find that the paper gives current and local news on happenings and events occurring in our local area. Advertisement by local trade, tradesmen and local stores. Helps us to use local. And the Sudoku puzzles are a must.

Boardwalk protection
I wish to raise an issue regarding the maintenance of the Frankston boardwalk timber support posts. I love the boardwalk and have noticed the boardwalk timber support posts starting to deteriorate. The top of these posts are starting to rot and need protecting from the ingress of rain which is causing this rot.
I would strongly suggest that a protective cap (perhaps a square piece of galvanised iron screw fixed to the top of the posts) be installed. This could be done at the same time as the boardwalk lighting planned for June to August this year.
If no action is taken then the posts will rot quickly, needing replacing which would be a very expensive exercise as the posts are installed into a poured concrete footing and are drilled with holes for the horizontal ballustrade wires.
Hopefully action is taken by Frankston City Council as a matter of urgency as we all hope that this beautiful boardwalk is able to be enjoyed by all well into the future.
Philip Smith, Sandhurst
Both sides at fault
The Liberal Party of Australia has lost the plot if they think that nuclear energy will reduce household bills.
Peter Dutton is using nuclear reactors as a ‘trojan horse’ to promote gas-fired power stations to generate electricity around Australia rather than renewable energy projects.
The Labor Party has released its ‘Future Gas Strategy’ to ‘… support our economy’s transition to net zero…’ – however this strategy is worse than the Liberal’s ‘Gas-Fired Recovery’ from 2020.
Both Labor and Liberal parties have failed to stop the influence of fossil fuel donors over our elected representatives and have supported new coal, oil and gas projects beyond 2030.
If the Labor and Liberal parties cared about Australian families, they would have established a domestic gas reservation scheme to keep 20% of all gas for households and businesses before exports were sent to Japan, China and other countries at bargain prices.
Since 2014, gas exports should have attracted billions of dollars in royalties and taxes to fund hospitals, housing and the transition to renewable energy in Australia with lower household bills and lower carbon emissions at home – instead billions have gone overseas to international corporations.
Using carbon capture and storage to ‘offset’ carbon emissions from fossil fuel projects beneath the Australian seabed is another taxpayer-funded fantasy that will facilitate the continued extraction and production of oil and gas for decades with rising energy bills and emissions.
Our elected representatives have not been honest with the Australian people about how our valuable resources have been given away cheaply overseas, how resource royalties and taxes have been mismanaged or how inflation and cost-ofliving pressures are directly linked to high gas prices to maximise profits for fossil fuel donors. The only way to change the behaviour and decision-making of Labor and Liberal politicians is to vote against them.

Fix crime at the coalface
The youth crime crisis in Melbourne including Frankston and Mornington Peninsula has escalated and the Allan government is still continuing with it’s social reform of the youth bail and justice laws which the Victoria police oppose. Frankston Council Youth Services and the Frankston police can do something constructive by visiting schools and educating students that crime does not pay and that a life of crimes leads to a life of in imprisonment .
Also they can educate students about how to use social media responsibly.
There needs to be “at the face” approach to help solve youth crime and give out information about state, federal and council programs for youth services.
Russell Morse, Karingal
Urgent housing crisis
Mornington Peninsula Shire says it is “looking for innovative ways to tackle the growing housing crisis that is devastating families and individuals in our community”.
Community consultation on their draft Affordable Housing Development Contributions Scheme closed on 7 of June.
At the recent Seawinds Ward Community meeting it was reported that the survey feedback is being reviewed and a report will be developed by November 2024.
Why this lack of urgency on such a critical issue? This timeframe will push the discussion on the issue out past the elections, when the Council is in caretaker mode, and as a result it will be left up to the new Council to take action on such an urgent issue.
Rebecca Cridland, Tootgarook
under the expert guidance of Iluka Sax-Williams in a series of workshops, from stitching the pelts together to burning and painting the cloak.
In conjunction with the cloak unveiling, Baluk Arts will host a NAIDOC exhibition focusing on pyrography and possum skins. The exhibition will explore the techniques and history of the art forms, offering visitors a deeper understanding of their cultural and artistic importance.
The NAIDOC celebration will start with a ‘Welcome to Country’ and a traditional smoking ceremony by the Bunurong Land Council, acknowledging the rich heritage and ongoing connection of the Bunurong people to their land.
Bradfield said the free event provided a meaningful opportunity for the community to connect with and honour the Aboriginal community this NAIDOC.
For more information, please contact Baluk Arts at 0497 004 179 or email info@balukarts. org.au. The celebrations will run from 1pm to 3pm at Baluk Arts, 5 Davies Avenue, Mount Eliza.

Frankston Park improvement - Where
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
ABOUT two years ago a Park Improvement Committee was formed, consisting of representatives of the various sporting clubs and kindred associations in Frankston.
They started out with the idea that a substantial sum could be raised by public subscription, and that the Shire Council would expend at least £ for £.
The hon. secretary (Mr. R. Fairnie) reported last night that the amount in hand, representing money subscribed by the public was £15/16/6.
Those present at last night’s meeting were: Cr. Oates (chairman), Messrs. Fairnie (hon. sec.), Reg Coxall, E. K. McComb, H. Morrison, H. McComb, J. D. Jennings, J. L. Pratt, S. Lawrey, and W. C. Young.
The minutes of the last meeting, held on 30th April of last year, were read and confirmed. The secretary pointed out that at the meeting referred to a deputation was appointed to wait on the council, asking that a loan of £2000 be raised for park improvements.
He had never been advised as to the result of that deputation.
Cr. Oates said the council, after hearing the deputation, decided to borrow the money, and “it stopped at that.”
Mr. Pratt said he was a member of the deputation. The council received the proposal very favorably, and assured the deputation that £2000 would be borrowed for park improvements. The speaker did not know if the money was ever borrowed. Nothing has been seen of it.
Cr. Oates: The council agreed to
borrow but apparently no steps were taken to raise the money.
Mr. Jennings: Who takes steps?
Cr. Oates: The officers.
Mr; Lawrey: Were the finances of the council not too bad?
Cr. Oates: No; nothing of that.
Mr. Pratt: Does the resolution still hold good?
Cr. Oates: I suppose it does.
Mr. Fairnie: As secretary of this committee, I know nothing of the council’s decision. I would have been only too pleased to assist. This committee has been in existence for two years. It is time some enthusiasm was shown.
Mr. E. K. McComb said the Football Club had been trying for two years to get an improved oval.
The club had expended £17 or £18 trying to make the ground playable, and now a gentleman of the town had sent a cheque for £200 to the Football Club to improve the oval. The club hoped to add another £60 to that amount.
The improvements should be fixed up straight away. They could never expect to have football finals played at Frankston unless the oval was improved, and that meant a big loss to Frankston business people.
Mr. Pratt referred to the Melville oval at Hamilton, where provision was made for football, tennis, bowls, and croquet. He would like to see something similar in the Frankston park.
The revenue from the various clubs would provide maintenance and not cost the council one penny.

Frankston District High School
The Advisory Committee of the Frankston District High School held its usual monthly meeting on Wednesday night. The chairman (Mr. P. Wheeler) presiding over a full attendance of members, with the exception of the district inspector.
After the minutes had been read the chairman reported that with some other members of the committee, he had visited the Dandenong High School and had been received very courteously by the head teacher (Mr. Langford) who had shown the visitors all round the school and had explained all matters relating thereto, and, as a result, he (the chairman) had visited the department with regard to the supplying of the lockers.
He also reported that two men had been put on to clear the land to the value of £10, and that twenty-one tons of wood had been cut and sold for £8 on the ground.
The correspondence which followed, showed that as a result of the chairman’s visit, the department were going to supply the lockers direct.
The question of further clearing of the ground was held in abeyance until the ground plan of the building had been received.
An offer having been submitted to the committee by the Mornington Girl Guides to give a concert in aid of the funds of the High School on Tuesday, July 15, was accepted with thanks, a small committee being appointed to arrange details.
The chairman reported, that with regard to the public meeting of parents and others, owing to a meeting of ladies having been convened
PUZZLE ZONE
to try and raise funds for the fire brigade, he had, with the secretary, decided it would be better to wait a little while, so that we would not clash with this most deserving object.
It was also decided to call a meeting of parents and friends with a view to deciding what were the best steps to take to raise a school fund. This will be held, in all probability, ***
WE are pleased to be able to announce that Master Ian Evans, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Evans, of Dandenong Road, who recently sustained a severe cut in his leg, is getting along well. ***
MISS Edna Lovett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lovett, who had the misfortune to break her arm some time back, has made a good recovery, the splints having been removed during the past week.
***
MR. F. White, of the railway station staff, Preston, is at present relieving at Frankston, in the absence of Porter Maloney. Mr. White, who is a returned soldier, saw strenuous service with the 7th Battalion, and as several of his one-time comrades in-arms belong to Frankston, he is looking forward to meeting them once again.
***
WE are pleased to be able to state that Mr. A. B. Morris, of Playne street, Frankston, who is at present in a hospital in Melbourne, still continues to improve, and hopes are now entertained of a complete recovery.
***
WE are pleased to be able to an-
nounce that Mrs. Morgan, wife of Mr. R. Morgan, of Young Street, Frankston, who has been seriously ill, is now showing a marked improvement in her condition, and it is sincerely hoped that the improvement will continue.

Frankston Police Court Tuesday, June 24, 1924. Before Messrs. J. W. Smith, P.M. (chairman), C. W. Grant, C. Gray, P. Wheeler and J. Brown, J.sP.
The case of Galt v. Jolly, re erection of dividing fence, which was adjourned for two months, again came up for hearing, the only appearance being that of Mr. J. B. Jolly, who stated that the fence on his side had been erected. The case was therefore struck out.
In the matter of Galt v. Campbell, there being no appearance of either party, this case was also struck out.
Gertrude Puckle asked for an order to be ‘made for the payment of £21/7/-. Mr. W. S. Cook appeared for Mrs. Puckle. It appears that on the 17/9/1/23 an order was made for the amount of £23/7./-. Since then only £2 had been paid, although a letter had been written promising to pay at the rate of £1 per week.
After hearing the evidence, an order was made for the payment of £21/7/- and £2/16/6 costs or two months’ imprisonment.
Payments to be made at the rate of £1 per week, the first to be made on July 1,

SYDNEY THEATRE COMPANY TOURS TO FRANKSTON
A RIVETING and award-winning Sydney Theatre Company production heads to Frankston next month on a national tour directed by one of Australia’s most celebrated directors, Wesley Enoch.
On a sweltering day in January 1788, seven clan leaders gather on a sandstone escarpment overlooking the harbour. The attendees catch-up, laugh together, share a meal and compare notes. But beyond the friendly banter, protocols, and hospitality, a momentous decision is waiting to be made.
A mysterious fleet of giant nawi is amassing in the harbour and as they creep closer, these seven representatives must choose unanimously: whether to send these strangers on their way or welcome them?
Awarded Best Mainstage Production and Best Ensemble at the 2023 Sydney Theatre Awards, playwright Jane Harrison’s The Visitors is at once a riveting, deeply
researched insight into one of the most impactful and painful days in Australia’s history.
“We are surrounded by the need for discussion and debate,” Director Wesley Enoch said.
“We have friendly disagreements all the time… we clash over values and ideology but as a society the key is finding some way forward rather than being paralysed by division.
“The Visitors simultaneously leads us to a past and a preferred future. It takes us back to the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney Cove and asks: ‘what if’ that moment was different?”

THE vivid and vibrant work of renowned contemporary artist and jeweller Lisa Walker and celebrated multi-disciplinary artist and musician Brendan Huntley come to life in News from Nowhere at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery this winter. Walker’s oversized, ‘easy’ but haphazard jewellery and Huntley’s objects, paintings and works on paper embody humour, playfulness and empathy in a unique way in this exclusive exhibition curated by Dunja Rmandić. Their shared DIY aesthetic, colourful expression and deep interest in how we navigate our world come together in three movements: Love, Awe and Togetherness. Rmandić says, ‘These works give us space and time to think, feel, be uncomfortable, be emotional, find joy and laugh and wonder why we like art in the first place and why anyone makes anything at all. Showing them
together draws on the deep relationship that both artists have to craft, the body and, most importantly, to the way both address the human need to make, and see, art.’
Aotearoa New Zealand artist and jeweller Lisa Walker incorporates found objects fashioned into often funny yet intricately finished pieces, with woven string, clasps and connection points, a MacBook laptop, highheeled shoes, plastic toys, reused material as well as jade, pearls, gold and silver.
Brendan Huntley’s work plays on his obsession with faces. Drawn from a playful nature of wearing a balaclava and highlighting the negative space - the eyes and the mouth - Huntley has created an army of unnamed characters on paper and in ceramic whose faces reveal more than meets the eye.
News from Nowhere: Lisa Walker & Brendan Huntley is on at MPRG until 18 August 2024.

By Brodie Cowburn
MEN'S DIV ONE
DROMANA emerged victorious from their top-of-the-table clash against Mt Eliza last weekend.
The ladder-leading Tigers travelled to Emil Madsen Reserve to take on second-placed Mt Eliza on Saturday. The Redlegs kicked out to an early lead, and were on top throughout the first half. At the main break, Mt Eliza led by 10 points.
Dromana booted five goals in the third term to kick their way back into contention. They went four points ahead in the third term, and managed to hold on for the win.
A late goal helped Dromana seal an 8.7 (55) to 9.14 (68) win. Jake Aarts was at his usual best for the Tigers - he scored four goals. Billy Guerts also had a great game.
Frankston YCW put on a show for their home fans on Saturday. They decimated Sorrento by 116 points.
Sorrento were dominated from the outset by the ruthless Stonecats - the Sharks managed to score just three goals for the game. Frankston YCW won 21.11 (137) to 3.3 (21).
Riley D’Arcy scored five of Frankston YCW’s goals. Joshua Patullo, Luca Goonan, Patrick Bloink, Brenton Lambert, and Toby Cavanagh were named their best.

MEN'S DIV TWO
PEARCEDALE picked up a big win over Chelsea at home on Saturday.
Chelsea have been among the best teams in Division Two this season. They came into the match last weekend with just one loss to their name for 2024.
Pearcedale took control early, and booted the first five goals of the game. Chelsea were able to recover and stop the run of momentum, but the damage was already done.
Pearcedale finished up 27 point winners over Chelsea 11.14 (80) to 7.11 (53). Mitchell Davis and Brett Eddy each contributed three goals to the Seagulls’ total.
Edithvale-Aspendale locked up top spot with a dominant 112 point win over Seaford on Saturday.
Edi-Asp beat Seaford 2.9 (21) to 19.19 (133). The win put them a game clear on top of the ladder.
Devon Meadows bounced back from
the previous week’s loss to Crib Point by beating Bonbeach last Saturday. The Panthers won easily 14.16 (100) to 4.6 (30).
Crib Point have continued their good run of form. The Magpies smashed Rye by 80 points at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.
Tyabb and Somerville picked up comfortable wins over Hastings and Karingal respectively in the final games of the round.
WOMEN'S DIV ONE
SEAFORD held on to beat Karingal in a thriller on Saturday afternoon. Karingal raced out to an early lead at RF Miles Reserve. They led by two goals at quarter-time, but couldn’t keep up the momentum. By half-time, Seaford had crawled ahead by a point. They stretched their
lead to eight points by the three-quarter-time break, and held on in the final quarter to wrap up the win.
Seaford beat Karingal 7.4 (46) to 6.2 (38).
A seven-goal haul from Hayley Monk was the highlight of the Mornington White vs Mornington Blue match on Friday night.

Monk was awesome - she finished up with seven goals for the night. Anna McGlade and Eliza Snehotta scored four each.

Seagulls sign four, lose two
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
MORNINGTON has endured a week of upheaval on and off the pitch with four new player signings, a player sacking and a major administrative reshuffle.
Wide midfielder Kane Bentley has rejoined the Seagulls for his third stint at Dallas Brooks Park, striker Joe O’Brien has transferred from Langwarrin, English striker Jack Kimber has been signed from Caboolture Sports FC in Queensland and attacking midfielder Halil Reki has joined from Dandenong South.
Bentley had been working in Dubai, O’Brien was a prolific scorer with WA-based Mandurah City before joining Langwarrin last October while Kimber is a former AFC Rushden & Diamonds player.
O’Brien has to wait for 30 days due to a change in his playing status while Kimber won’t be available until next month for visa reasons.
No doubt all three will be welcome additions to a squad still struggling to trigger a winning run and Saturday’s 3-3 draw with State 1 struggler Collingwood City resulted in the end of Sam Orritt’s second spell at Mornington.
It’s believed that a half-time disagreement with head coach Adam Jamieson led to Orritt being dumped.
Neither would comment but Jamieson was hopeful that the new players would have a positive impact.
“Our first half of the year has not been good enough and certainly not up to the standards we have set at Mornington over the last decade,” he said.
“I’m looking at these lads to come in and make a difference and get us back on track.
“We’ve done too many good things over the last few years and I’m not prepared to accept the below-par performances we’ve seen in our first 11 games this season.”
There’s also been a major change off the field with Nick Waite taking over as president from Matt Cameron who has stepped down from the committee for personal reasons.
On Saturday a rollercoaster first half saw Mornington fight back from 2-0 down after 10 minutes to level from a Reki one-on-one with Collingwood keeper Irfan Hrelja and a David Stirton tap-in after his first effort was blocked.
The goalmouth action didn’t stop there.
Collingwood regained the lead through Jordan Heggie in the 36th minute but Orritt capped an excellent team move right on half-time. His superb strike would prove to be the goal that earned the visitors a point and his parting gesture to the club as he didn’t appear after the interval.
In VPL1 Langwarrin controlled long periods of Friday night’s Lawton Park clash with Werribee City running out a 3-1 winner.
The visitors have the worst defensive record in the league and two goals in four minutes from Langy striker Archie Macphee highlighted their ineptitude at the back.
In the 18th minute Luke Goulding got clear on the right and squared the ball to the near post where Macphee effected a simple tap-in for the opener. In the 22nd minute Werribee had multiple chances to clear as the ball pinballed about the penalty area before falling to an unmarked Macphee a few metres out from goal and he
had no problem slamming it home to make it 2-0.
A Tom Youngs classic was a game highlight.
In the 79th minute a superb interpassing move released Youngs on the left.
He motored inside the area then slotted a right-foot strike just inside the far post.
Werribee’s sole reply came in the final minute of normal time from substitute Mark Offeh’s low shot on the turn.
In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers produced a dominant display in Saturday’s 3-0 away win over Greater Dandenong.
Strikers led within 15 minutes when Cooper Andrews played a delightful through ball for Campbell Steedman to swoop and he cooly slotted home with a left-foot strike.
Shortly after the home side was reduced to 10 men following a reckless challenge on Andrews from Muhammad Ali that earned a straight red.
Strikers had bossed the contest in the first half and in the second half they dominated possession.
They went further ahead following a brilliant through ball from Wayne Gordon that synced perfectly with Tom Wood’s run and Wood buried his chance in the bottom corner.
A couple of minutes later and it was 3-0 after a nice interchange down the left released Andrews whose cutback met the run of Steedman and he swept the ball into the far corner with his left foot.
Skye United lost its eighth game this season when going down 2-1 at home to Chisholm United on Friday night.
The scoreline could have been worse for the locals if not for the performance of goalkeeper Steve Hadjikakou.
Daniel Attard came off the bench and scored for Skye in the 92nd minute.
In State 3 news Frankston Pines won its first game of the season with a 2-1 away win over Middle Park on Saturday.
Cassius Delaney and Rafael Ghunaim were on target for Pines who hope that the result kick-starts its season.
This weekend Pines faces another away game when it takes on a Dandenong South outfit with just three wins
to its name.
In State 4 news Chelsea was the only local side to grab any points last weekend following a 3-0 away win over Brighton.
Chelsea’s goals all came in the first half with Daniel Vella opening the scoring in the 13th minute after good work by Jake Ross and a cross that presented Vella with an easy finish.
In the 27th minute Daniel Lewis headed home following a pinpoint Adam Bartosy cross and Lewis turned provider right on half-time when he set up Ross for another headed goal.
Mentone was no match for titlechasing Monash University going down 5-0 at home last weekend while Somerville Eagles lost 5-2 away to Springvale City with Howie Anderson and Max Watson scoring for the Eagles.
The surprise of the round was Baxter’s 2-0 home loss to relegationthreatened Sandown Lions.
Baxter started off with three at the back and struggled defensively from the outset much to the enjoyment of Math Thowat who was given far too much space on Sandown’s right.
A superbly struck Roy Ruea volley opened Sandown’s account after five minutes and it took 20 minutes for the home side to reorganise and switch to a back four.
By then though the rot had set in and when former Baxter player Sunday Kim tucked away a poor attempt from Baxter keeper Jarrod Nardino to palm clear from a corner in the 36th minute the home side faced a huge challenge.
But it wasn’t up to it despite creating multiple chances especially in the second half.
What was really damning for the locals was the lack of commitment and poor workrate of many of their players in this dismal display.
In State 5 news a goal avalanche resulted in Aspendale’s stunning 10-1 home win over Pakenham United on Saturday.
Koray Yildirim had a day out with four goals, Gianluca Bozzo nabbed a brace and Matthew Bruce, Felix Hampson, Taylan Yildirim and Dom Paul also grabbed a slice of the action. It was game over by half-time with Aspendale leading 6-0.
Rosebud and FC Noble Hurricanes shared the points when drawing 1-1
in their top-of-the-table clash at Alex Nelson Reserve on Saturday.
Rosebud was without a couple of key players in Barney Johnson (injured) and Nathan Yole (overseas) but welcomed back Dave Greening after his recent haul of medals representing Australia in athletics.
Rosebud had the better of the early exchanges with Mark Pagliarulo holding the ball up well and Davis Markulin and Caleb Davies a constant threat out wide.
As the half progressed the Hurricanes became more of a threat especially from set pieces and it was from a set piece in the 37th minute from which a goalmouth scramble developed and Jaxon Van Ette pounced to put the home side ahead.
Rosebud coach Stuart Johnson made changes to his line-up at half time bringing on Greening and recent signing Jack Wyer.
Rosebud keeper Colin McCormack came to the rescue on three occasions as the visitors kept pressing for an equaliser.
It came in the 77th minute when a Doug Cunnison free-kick was flicked on and Greening reacted ahead of Hurricanes keeper Elvis Almovski to tap the ball home from point-blank range.
Soon after Greening broke free and scored what would have been the winner if not for the home team’s linesman flagging for offside in a decision roundly condemned by the Rosebud bench and supporters.
Seaford beat bottom side Cleeland United 4-1 on Friday night at Thomas P Carroll Reserve.
The visitors led after 10 minutes when Naseer Mohammad was brought down inside the area.
Michael Nobbs’ conversion attempt was saved but Matt Cobbs scored from the rebound for his first senior goal for Seaford.
The lead was doubled when Backy Barakzoi won the ball and smashed it home from the edge of the box and Logan Johnston made it 3-0 in the 32nd minute after a Cobbs assist.
The hosts hit back in the second half through George Madul but Seaford substitute Abraham Lueth’s looping header from a Nobbs freekick completed the scoreline.
Mount Eliza defeated visitor Bunyip District 3-2 at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday.
The star of the show was Mount Eliza hat-trick hero Austin Mcewen. In the 8th minute Mcewen’s pace led to the opener with a well-placed strike and seven minutes later it was 2-0.
Yodish Jagatheson won possession in midfield then found Mcewen out wide on the left who cut inside onto his right foot and struck a low shot past Bunyip keeper Kieran Lenders. Bunyip hit back in the 25th minute when a long ball eluded home team captain Callum Drysdale and Mark Comini finished from a one-on-one with Mount Eliza keeper Luke Armao.
It was 3-1 in the 56th minute when a Ray Amiri through ball set up Mcewen for his hat-trick but the striker was subbed immediately after tweaking a hamstring.
In the 87th minute Bunyip’s Luke Jeric converted from the penalty spot after a manhandling infringement was given following a corner. That set up a tense finish with six minutes of time added but Mount Eliza held firm.
Mount Martha lost 4-1 at home to Barton United on Saturday but all credit to the club’s players and coaching staff for fulfilling the fixture in what was a very emotional day.
Former Mount Martha player Billy Baldwin succumbed to cancer at just 22 years old and the club paid their respects to him and the Baldwin family and friends.
The scoreline seemed inconsequential but for the record David Jones scored for the Mariners.

Teen fulfills Olympic dream
FRANKSTON teenager Brock Batty has made history by being selected in Australia’s Olympic gymnastics team.
Batty is just 17-years-old. When he competes in Paris he will become the youngest male to ever compete in the Olympic trampoline event.
Batty is a student at Frankston High School. He trains almost daily with the Cheltenham Youth Club.
Last week, Batty’s inclusion in the Olympic team was announced by the Australian Olympic Committee. He said the selection was a dream come true.
“It’s something I’ve honestly thought about every single day since the Olympic dream was born when I started gymnastics,” Batty said. “It’s crazy to think about that it’s actually happening, and I’ll be competing at an Olympics.”
13 gymnasts will travel to Paris to compete for Australia - the team is the largest ever group of gymnasts scheduled to represent Australia at
an Olympic Games. Gymnastics
Australia interim CEO Chris O’Brien
said “the 13 athletes selected are a testament to the athlete-centred approach and investment in leadership development by Gymnastics Australia in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Sport, the Australian Olympic Committee, and Commonwealth Games Australia.
“Our team contains an exciting mix of youth and experience from 17-year-old national champions Ruby Pass and Brock Batty to 28-year-old Oceania champion Emma Nedov and we cannot wait to see them shine in front of the rest of the world.”
Frankston High School congratulated Batty on its Facebook page last week. “We are very proud of you, Brock, and I’m sure you will hear us cheering you on from school,” the school posted.
The Olympic Trampoline event will be held at the Bercy Arena on 2 August.
