Alleged murder at Frankston Pier

SHOCK has swept through Frankston after a man was allegedly killed by a stranger at Frankston Pier last week.
Emergency services arrived soon afterwards, but the victim could not be revived. The 45-year-old Cranbourne North man died at the pier.
Later that day, police arrested 36-year-old homeless man Forrest
Just after 6am on Saturday, 29 June, police were called out to Frankston Pier to respond to an alleged assault.
Stevenson and questioned him over the alleged attack. On 30 June they charged him with murder.
The victim has since been identified as Andres Pancha, a father of three. Tributes from his friends and family have flooded social media in the wake of his death.
In a statement, Victoria Police said that the alleged offender and victim did not know each other.
The pier was cordoned off last weekend while homicide detectives investigated the scene.
The alleged offender faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 30 June.
“Homicide Squad detectives are investigating and at this stage are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident. It is also believed the parties involved were not known to one another,” a Victoria Police statement read.
Homeward bound: Michael beats the odds
LIVING at home is the preferred choice of many older people who don’t wish to move to a care facility.
Michael, a kind and quiet soul who lives alone in Hastings, was faced with a daunting reality: after suffering a fall and a hip fracture, followed by subsequent complications, he was told by rehabilitation staff that a residential care facility was his only option.
This news, coupled with the prospect of selling his beloved home, filled Michael with despair. However, his fortunes turned a corner when he enlisted the services of Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care. “He told me several times that if I can’t go home, then I don’t want to live like that. I don’t want to live anymore,” recalls Care Coordinator and Practice Nurse, Hilde Aschehoug.
Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care, an approved provider of government funded Home Care Packages, is empowering older people like Michael to live independently at home for as long as possible.
Founded by Dr Floyd Gomes, the service honours his migrant parents and integrates health care with daily living assistance.
After a lengthy hospital stay, Michael felt vulnerable. Mark & Sylvie’s team stepped in, visiting twice daily to manage his oxygen, catheter, and medication. His home care manager also arranged for an electric bed and ramps to improve his mobility.
Within two months, Michael was thriving at home, free from medical equipment. Now, he enjoys life at home, surrounded by his beloved garden. “He just misses driving,” says Hilde, who helps him with groceries and errands.
Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care operates across an ever growing area, with hubs in Hastings, Bangholme and Wonthaggi. They care for people across southeast Melbourne, Gippsland and the wider Peninsula, even as far as Phillip Island.
Mark & Sylvie’s tailor care plans to each client’s unique needs, collaborating with their GPs, physios, and healthcare team. Their services include personal care, dementia support, telehealth, home maintenance, and transport assistance, just to name a few.
“Our goal is to keep clients comfortable at home,” says Hilde, “But we can also help with transitioning to aged care, if needed.
For Michael, Mark & Sylvie’s care has been life-changing. “He just wanted to be home,” says Hilde. “It’s the best feeling to help people live well.”

Cyclist sets off on 4000 kilometre journey
brodie@baysidenews.com.au
DAN Scott set off from Beauty Park in Frankston for a bike ride on Monday. His destination lies 4000 kilometres away.
Scott began a 40-day journey from Frankston to Darwin on 1 July. He is raising money for the Children’s Cancer Institute.
Scott spent time in hospital in 2022 after crashing his bicycle in Los Angeles on a trip from Virginia Beach to San Diego. He said his time in hospital inspired him to try and make a difference.
“At end of the trip I had a horrible
accident where I came off my bike and broke my elbow. I didn’t have a place to recover in the US and went home to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. It really opened my eyes to experiences people have while in hospital,” he said. “I was there for just three days, but some kids are in and out of hospital their whole childhood. That didn’t sit right with me.”
To make the journey to Darwin, Scott will have to cycle around 100 kilometres a day. To ensure he is ready for the odyssey, he says he will have to mentally prepare himself.
“Doing this kind of bike riding, 90 percent of the struggle is mental. Some days you don’t want to ride 100 kilometres, and you’re dreading every
kilometre,” he said. “You have to find ways to keep your mental game strong. I do have pre-ride jitters or anxiety, but I know the moment I get on the bike it’ll wash away and I can zero in and focus. There’ll be days where it’s a struggle but you develop a mindset where giving up is not an option.”
Scott set off from Beauty Park to travel on to Sorrento. From there he will ferry to Queenscliff before cycling to Adelaide, then north towards Darwin.
So far, Scott has raised more than $2000 for the Children’s Cancer Institute. He said he is “really proud” to be working with the organisation.

Rate freeze considered
nomic, and political reasons why we should or shouldn’t change our longterm financial plan.”
At last week’s public meeting, Frankston councillors agreed to consider the possibility of a rate freeze “without impacting essential community services or creating an infrastructure renewal backlog”. They have directed council officers to prepare a report assessing the proposal, and a range of other cost of living relief measures.
The report will also assess the benefits of suspending interest on outstanding rates for up to six months, extending instalment payments for rates, implementing a fees and charges freeze, and advocating to the state government seeking a reduction or freeze of the “Victorian land tax and vehicle registration”. The report will also “explore the contestability of council refusing to collect state based levies and charges on behalf of the state government”.
Any changes would be enacted during the next council budget process, which will be overseen by a new council after October’s local government elections.
The mayor Nathan Conroy raised the proposal at the 24 June meeting. He said “we acknowledge that the current cost of living crisis is affecting people throughout our community, and this report sets the foundation for a new council to have information - the data, the social, eco-
Councillors Conroy, Claire Harvey, Kris Bolam, David Asker, Suzette Tayler, and Glenn Aitken voted in favour of the plan. Councillor Sue Baker voted against it, and councillor Brad Hill abstained from the vote.
Councillor Baker said she opposed the move because “circumstances are rapidly changing”.
“Climate for example - we may have some significant hazards or emergency issues which might take precedence over some of the items that are in this [notice of motion] in terms of their impact on the budget,” she said, “We would all love a freeze or a cut, but what hasn’t gone into this document is the background work on the numbers and the implications.”
The debate at last Monday’s meeting threatened to break down once opposing views were heard. Councillor Tayler drew gasps from the public gallery by calling councillors sitting opposite her “puppets for Paul Edbrooke”. She blamed the global cost of living crisis on the Labor Party, and said “I honestly don’t know why some councillors speak - I think they just like the sound of their own voice.” She soon withdrew the remark.

Post office future discussed
THE future of the Australia Post office on Wells Street has been discussed at a meeting between the Australia Post CEO and the federal member for Dunkley.
Australia Post CEO Paul Graham met with Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea, Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy, and Frankston Council CEO Phil Cantillon on 26 June to discuss the planned closure of the Wells Street post office. Belyea said “discussions to find a solution are ongoing.”
“I hear the community’s concerns and I am advocating to keep a post
office in central Frankston. I pushed to get a meeting with the Australia Post CEO to ensure our community’s concerns were heard at the top,” she said. “I was pleased to invite along the Frankston City Council CEO and mayor to discuss potential solutions.”
Australia Post announced its decision to close the Wells Street post office last month. In a letter to Graham shortly afterwards, Belyea said “the Frankston Central Post Shop provides an integral service to neighbouring businesses and residents.”
“Frankston City is growing and with
its designation as a key Metropolitan Activity Centre, there will be even further growth in business and resident activity. Accordingly, a postal service location is required in the central business district to service commercial and residential activity,” she wrote. “Keeping Australia Post services in central Frankston is crucial to the prosperity of our community. I call upon Australia Post to commit to staying in central Frankston and working with me to find an alternative site that meets the needs of community members.”

VCAT approves Young Street tower
CONDITIONAL approval for a multi-storey building on Young Street has been granted by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Plans for a 22-storey mixed-use building at 89 Young Street in Frankston were submitted to council last year. The developer applied for VCAT to hear the proposal after Frankston Council failed to consider it in time - last December council informed VCAT it would have refused the proposal.
Revised 18-storey plans were submitted to VCAT. Late last month, the tribunal approved the plans under the condition that four storeys are removed from that proposal.
In its decision, VCAT wrote that it would “require four storeys to be removed to avoid overshadowing”. It measured the plans against the 2015 FMAC structure plan and the draft 2023 structure plan.
“We recognise that removing four levels to avoid shadowing of the southern footpath will result in the loss of dwellings although we do not agree with [the developer’s] assessment that it would result in 55 fewer dwellings. The number lost will depend on what levels are removed and whether there is an opportunity to make up part or all of that shortfall on the retained levels, any such changes subject to there being no shadowing impacts to the southern footpath and maintenance of the basic massing of the building,” VCAT wrote.
The submitted 18-storey plans featured 148 dwellings. It also had three ground floor retail premises, eight commercial office premises, and an indoor communal space with a residential lobby, gym room, residents lounge, breakout area, and pool. Basement parking for 192 vehicles was proposed with access from Young Street.
Amended plans will need to be submitted before construction can begin.

Sopranos set for gallery show
FOUR artists will headline a contemporary opera performance at McClelland Gallery later this month.
Performers on the schedule include First Nations soprano Nina Korbe, soprano Jesse Linke, mezzo-soprano Syrah Torii, and baritone Aidan Hodder.
McClelland artistic and executive director Lisa Byrne said it is an “absolute coup to have such a gifted group of young singers perform this operatic program in our acoustically attuned pavilion.”
“Melba Opera Trust supports singers
of exceptional ability, and our audience will be delighted,” she said.
Melba Opera Trust CEO Amy Black said “we’re thrilled to be performing at McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery.”
“Our artists spend their scholarship year with Melba honing their artistry, their languages, their business skills and their performances. Concerts such as these provide a platform for that learning to be put into practise, heightening the experience for artists and audience alike thanks to the unique set-
ting at McClelland,” Black said. The performance will take place at the Sarah and Baillieu Myer Education Pavilion at McClelland Gallery, 390 McClelland Drive in Langwarrin, on 21 July. The show starts at 2pm, preceded by a smoking ceremony at 1.30pm. To book tickets visit mcclelland.org.au/ events/musicatmcclelland

Reconciliation plan released for feedback
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire
councillors have rejected community and media suggestions that its draft Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) replicates a Voice to Parliament or is aimed at changing the date of Australia Day.
Councillors last Tuesday (25 June) approved the release of the draft RAP after a debate which saw an amendment rejected over concerns it contained “racist undertones”.
The RAP is intended to identify ways to advance reconciliation through developing relationships and collaborations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Cr Susan Bissinger suggested altering the original motion, including removing references to Treaty and incorporating Indigenous culture in all project planning and design where appropriate. She was told by the acting meeting chair, deputy mayor Cr Antonella Celi, that the changes would not be allowed.
After pushing for an explanation, governance manager Pam Vercoe said governance rules allowed the chair to make the call that the motion changes were “objectionable”: “Overall, the amendments are, or could be considered, offensive … and [that there] are racist undertones…”
The draft RAP follows community consultation on how to build and strengthen relationships with the peninsula’s First Nations community, businesses and organisations, and improve opportunities for Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The RAP outlines that the council should work closely with local Indigenous groups, such as Bunurong Land Council, First People’s Assembly, and the Willum Warrain Gathering Place to meet its obligations under government frameworks.
Cr Despi O’Connor said she was disappointed that the community had picked up on “abhorrent” rumours circulating in the daily media. It had been suggested by one media organisation that community consultation could result in Australia Day celebrations being moved to an alternate date and council not contributing to some community events. O’Connor said that was not the case, and she supported the RAP draft go out for public consultation, as “many other organisations have one”.
If the draft is passed, an advisory committee for Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders would provide cultural advice and guidance to the council.
After the consultation closes on 25 July, the council will present the RAP to Reconciliation Australia and the council for final endorsement.
Bissinger, who was later contacted for comment, voted against releasing the document for consultation.
The mayor Cr Simon Brooks was unable to attend Tuesday’s meeting because he was in Canberra to meet with politicians and government officials. Liz Bell
Committee completes Canberra trip
AN advocacy group representing the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula regions has travelled to Canberra to present its vision to federal politicians.
The Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula visited the nation’s capital last week. The committee’s CEO Josh Sinclair joined Mornington Shire mayor Simon Brooks and the Shire’s advocacy manager Randal Mathieson to meet with Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea and Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie, whose offices are in Frankston and Somerville respectively. It also says it held meetings with the offices of environment minister Tanya Plibersek and housing minister Julie Collins, and “briefly met” with opposition MPs Bridget McKenzie and Jane Hume.
The committee presented its strategic plan to MPs. The plan will be presented to committee members on 18 July.
In a statement to committee members, CEO Josh Sincalir said that housing was at the top of the priority list. “The discussion around housing
and homelessness centred around a number of advocacy initiatives, including unlocking surplus port-zoned land near Hastings for residential purposes to assist the Victorian Government in meeting their 67,000 new homes target for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula,” he said.
Sinclair said that the committee also discussed “providing more support for crisis accommodation across our region, workforce accommodation issues and key worker accommodation across Frankston and Mornington Peninsula and across different industries, getting our fair share from state government under the Big Housing Build, and being included in programs that would assist our region including the Regional Workers Accommodation Fund and revenue generated from the short-stay levy.”
“Discussions with the minister for environment’s office focussed around the current proposal for the Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal to be established at the Port of Hastings,” Sinclair said.

THURSDAY GRAND DESIGNS: THE STREETS
ABC TV, 8.50pm
While new housing estates seemingly pop up on the periphery of Australian cities every day, it’s much harder for those in the UK to find a plot of land. In this spinoff series, Kevin McCloud takes a look at revolutionary new neighbourhoods springing up across Britain.

Hired to prove that the son of one of the victims is innocent, the PIs soon clash with newly arrived Detective Sergeant Pip Sweeney (Zindzi Okenyo).

Domestic violence causes most homelessness’
The shameful truth revealed in Victorian police statistics is that there were more than 2000 incidences of domestic violence right here on the Mornington Peninsula in 2022/2023.
The majority of victims were women and, in almost one third of cases, children were present. The largest cause of homelessness is domestic violence. It also represents the largest demand on police time and the economic costs are enormous.
Yet, with increasing media exposure to incidences of such violence, we are currently at risk of becoming complacent or feeling helpless. Don’t let this happen. Change is well within our grasp. There are evidence-based solutions. We can all work in our everyday lives to change attitudes that stereotype men and women to equal, respectful ones. This may be at home with parents, at work with employers and staff, and at play whether at sport or socialising. Respectful relationships can be and are being taught in schools with young people learning about consent. Young people will learn from good role models. We can support men and boys in developing healthy masculinities and positive, supportive relationships with their male peers. We can all refuse to condone gender violence in our neighbourhood, our networks and on social media.
Many are already creating change. Change may at times take courage, but let’s not accept a world where there is violence and abuse in relationships. Maureen Donelly, Mornington
Urgent help needed
I feel very sad to see occupied sleeping bags in the shelter of Mornington buildings.
I have heard there are increasing numbers of both men and women on the Mornington Peninsula finding themselves without a warm bed. A major issue with this state of affairs is sky-rocketing rents aided by a dearth of public and social housing. State and local government bodies must urgently place this issue at the top of their to do list.
Vivienne Daniels, Mornington
Housing questions
There’s a new battle to preserve the Mornington Peninsula’s natural environment – its unspoilt green hills, bush and coastline: the reason many of us live here.
This time the state Labor government is the culprit – setting a target of 31,000 new dwellings to be built on the peninsula in the next 27 years, up 32 per cent from 94,900 to 125,900. Its nebulously named Plan for Victoria demands every local council find space for new houses to accommodate a population of 10 million, a 70 per cent increase. (Victoria hit 6.9 million on 30 June.)
It’s a disturbing proposal with many unanswered questions.
Targets have been imposed by the government with no community consultation as yet.
Where would 31,000 homes go on the peninsula, with its 30 per cent built-up areas and 70 per cent green wedge zones?
Why do we even need 10 million people? We’ve seen enough of the population Ponzi economy over the past 15 years to know about the negative consequences – unaffordable housing, traffic congestion, crowded public transport (or very little in the peninsula’s case) and declining open space and tree cover. Plus, longer hospital and ambulance waiting times, crowded schools, more pressure on our physical and mental health.
No one votes for rapid population growth. Every survey shows a clear majority opposes it. The government says it’s not to blame: the federal government sets migration policy, but the state has a fancy website about how to migrate to Melbourne – finding a migration agent, the best schools, entertainment, sports and shopping (liveinmelbourne.vic.gov.au/discover).
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council issued a statement after the draft target was announced. The mayor Cr Simon Brooks said it matched the shire’s own target of 1200 new places annually, but better roads and public transport including
electric rail; more sporting facilities, community halls and libraries; and more social housing would be needed. No surprises there.
Jenny Warfe, Dromana
Federal issues
Has [Flinders MP] Zoe McKenzie considered standing for [Mornington Peninsula Shire] Council? In her recent eight-page Peninsula Post mail, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was campaign material for the forthcoming council elections.
As the federal MP for Flinders, I want news of federal issues – such as the Liberal party’s commitment to fossil fuels and nuclear energy; slashing permanent migration to 140,000 a year; allowing younger Australians to use their superannuation to buy their first homes. Most importantly, I want to hear Zoe’s ideas for fixing the housing crisis in Flinders. One thousand people sleep rough in cars and tents along the foreshore - they are our neighbours, they are us. The only temporary accommodation option for 170,000 residents - The Ranch - is unfunded by government and soon to be demolished.
Rather than inform residents about these important local and federal issues, Peninsula Post includes a scone recipe. Scrumdiddlyumptious. Stefan Raabe, Rosebud
Multi-storey solution
The state government’s prediction that the Frankston area will need to build 30,000 new houses will only be achieved by multi-storey buildings.
Just building one or two storey town houses will mean that there needs to be a lot of land, which will mean that farmers in Frankston will have to sell their land, and this will mean that Melbourne will become even larger.
The 100 per cent increase in rates for farmers in the Frankston Council budget will force farmers to sell their properties and the state government may use compulsory acquisition to free land.
If farms are purchased for housing then to increase housing the new housing precinct should have high-rise unit development.
There is a joint two property sale in Cranbourne Road near the overpass which should have a multi-storey development built with shops at street level, instead of having single storey town houses.
Footnote: the electric sign saying council will prosecute smoking and vaping outside the Frankston station is being ignored to the extent that a teenager was smoking a yellow vape while sitting on the sign. Is Frankston Council enforcing illegal vaping and cigarette smoking at the bus hub? Russell Morse, Karingal
Potter ‘whitewash’
The whitewashing of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s original decision to hold the Harry Potter event in the Briar’s wildlife sanctuary is well underway (Coming soon: Potter’s pre-election preview, The News 4/6/24). Some councillors have taken every opportunity to congratulate themselves for bringing this event to the peninsula, giving the impression they think that that makes it OK. It doesn’t.
Last January at a public meeting, the mayor admitted there had been mistakes made in the decision-making process and that a review would be conducted.
We learn now that the review will be scoped by the architects of the original decision (CEO and the mayor), and they will also choose who is to conduct the review. It will also be expensive if the previous costs of shire consultants are anything to go by (the CEO’s performance and remuneration review in 2023 was $103,500).
The end result, potentially costing hundreds of thousands of dollars of our money, will be a headline that councillors can point to like: Some mistakes were made (but we can’t tell you what they were because of confidentiality concerns) but overall, the event was amazing, so let’s all be happy now.
There has never been any question about the
Students clean up after vandal attack
Students from Somerville Secondary College volunteered to repaint the fence of an elderly resident whose fence was the target of vandals who graffitied it after the resident had just repainted it, after a previous attack. Also volunteering was Chris Symons owner of Funky Farm, in Somerville. The owner thanks these volunteers. Alice Lydall, Somerville
quality and attractiveness of the global phenomenon that is Harry Potter. It could be held next to a sewerage treatment plant and be hugely successful.
I think the shire would be better served to forget about a sham review and just be honest. Tell us what really happened, why it was thought OK to risk a valuable public asset and disregard community sentiment (which was clearly identified in their own preliminary risk assessment) and why the shire sought to obfuscate and cover up from day one.
The money saved from consultant reviews could then be allocated to The Briars, which we were led to believe was the rationale for “selling” the sanctuary in the first place.
Hospital of care
Keith Old, Tyabb
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November last year. I attended Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department, and I cannot thank the staff there enough. From the nurses, radiologists and the amazing paramedics who transferred me to Frankston Hospital with lights and sirens, thank you.
I underwent two major surgeries and had a total of 11 organs removed.
However, undergoing chemotherapy has been the most challenging and difficult. But having the Rosebud cancer clinic just up the road made treatment so much more tolerable and easier. From the moment you walk in the door the staff make you feel at ease and for what has been the most traumatising part of my journey, the nurses there made sure I never felt alone. When you are scared, they hold your hand or make you laugh with a joke and, on top of the extraordinary work they do, every single staff member genuinely cares about you.
If it wasn’t for the Rosebud Hospital and its dedicated staff and all the nurses and staff at the Rosebud cancer clinic, who are all angels in my eyes, I know I wouldn’t be around today to write this thank you.
We are so lucky to have these two medical facilities and their staff down on our pointy end of the Ninch. I, like so many others, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Stop take-away
We attended the information meeting on 20 June at the Dromana Hall (Fast food franchise still a hot topic, The News 26/6/24). Really, a properly advertised meeting at an appropriate venue would have demonstrated a commitment to public consultation.
We have attended a similar meeting about plans for Pier Street, Dromana, which was properly promoted and very constructive.
You’d have to wonder about a complete absence of information on the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council website. A council staffed information facility was at Dromana Hub the day before, and no mention of the meeting was made there either.
This seems to be an extraordinary effort to squeeze a totally inappropriate business onto an unsuitable site against the community’s wishes. Emotively, the applicant was characterised as
a “family”. As we understand it, the “family” already owns many BP service stations. Traffic count figures were from two years ago, when all camping facilities on the peninsula were closed. Surely 2024 traffic count should have been presented?
Traffic and parking plans were totally confusing. Are vehicles to remain parked at the site while customers enjoy the company picnic facilities that are planned on beach front community land? Are there charges for the use of that land?
From our admittedly limited experience of these sites, we have never seen an “acoustic tunnel” for drive through customers. Surely this is an admission that the site, next to residential housing, is not suitable for the proposed use. Traffic and parking, already difficult in the area, particularly in holiday time, would descend into mayhem. We understand the council’s difficult position, but surely it’s time for it to stand up and fight for the interests of ratepayers, and not bow to the wishes of a developer.

Debate nuclear power
Adult debate about nuclear powered electricity is required; the important issues are being overlooked. The overstated initial cost is not a burden, it is an investment, and if financed and owned by the government, as it should be, it will return all profits to the taxpayer. Victoria once had such a conglomerate in the State Electricity Commission, huge and very successful, the basis of massive Victorian industry, until an inept politician wrecked it by selling it all to private investors whose overriding interest is maximum profits.
Factor into the debate the need to replace, every 25-30 years, all solar panels, gigantic batteries (we need many more and lots bigger), and all windmills on land or salt water.
A nuclear power plant will last 80 years, some Americans are now talking 100 years, and nuclear technology is progressing rapidly, mitigating or eliminating many old problems.
Consider the future. Explore the fantasy of all motor vehicles becoming electric vehicles. The consumer electricity demand will at least double in order to charge these things, mostly overnight when there is zero solar power.
Consider the expanding population, now grossly so in the need for economic growth, there being little else. We will have millions of panels, windmills, batteries, all over the place, all needing replacement every 20-odd years, in lieu of a number of big nuclear power stations lasting 100 years, in maybe 10 locations.
Consider the economy. Should vast quantities of cheap, reliable electricity be available, manufacturing and other industries, and heavy industry, might once again be attracted, as they once were in Victoria. At present, with power sources on the brink as they are with a scattered mishmash of intermittent and seasonal renewable energy, we can have no substantial industry and consequent wealth.

*** Frankston’s Gas Supply - Extensions Proposed. £5000 Expenditure.
The Colonial Gas Association, owners of the Frankston Gas Works, propose to immediately expend in the vicinity of £5000 on main extensions and enlargement of the existing mains, which will have the effect of increasing the gas pressure in the district generally.
The first section to be undertaken will be the reticulation of Long Island, which the Association hopes to complete before the holiday season begins. It is the Association’s desire to bring the gas supply of Frankston to as high a standard as possible at once.

ON Sunday night as the 6.12 o’clock train from Mornington was moving out of the platform at Frankston, Guard Groves, in attempting to board it with the usual degree to sangfroid characteristic of the experienced rail-
way official, somewhere contrived to miss his footing, with the result that he slipped down on the permanent way. By reason of the fall he was rendered unconscious.
Dr. Hilliard Johnson, who attended Mr. Groves, found him to be suffering from slight concussion, also minor injuries to a shoulder and hip.
Mr. Ward, a popular member of the local railway station staff, successfully took the injured man’s place, and acted as guard en-route to Melbourne.

ON Friday last a deputation from the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, consisting of Crs. H. E. Unthank (president), Longmuir, Alden, McLean, Wells, Oates, Bradbury, Gray, Brown, Miles, and the shire secretary, Mr. John E. Jones, waited upon the Country Roads Board and asked the Board, if, owing to the serious financial position of the council’s finances, they would agree to suspend payment of the council’s dues for five years to enable the council to get some of the local by-roads made and repaired?
The Shire President (Cr. Unthank) having put the case very clearly and having been briefly supported by some of the other members, the acting chairman of the Board, Mr. McCormick, said that while the council had their sympathy in the position it found itself, they had no power to do what had been suggested.
Mr. Fricke, the other member of the Board, asked where the idea had originated, as this was the first time such a suggestion had been made by any council in Victoria. He further said that there was a clause in the Act which allowed the Minister the discretion, after
a recommendation had been made by the Board, to suspend payments for a period in undeveloped country, but that certainly did not apply in the present case, and they could not therefore make any recommendation.
Cr. Unthank having thanked the Board the deputation withdrew.

PERSONAL
We are sorry to have to report that Mr. A. H. Gregory, of “Malunnah,” Melbourne road, Frankston, is again far from well. It is hoped, however, that the genial old gentleman will soon be quite alright again.
It was very pleasing to witness the return to Frankston of Mr. T. K McComb, who returned last Saturday from Melbourne, where he has recently undergone a serious operation to his eyes. So far everything is going on well, and although somewhat weak from the effects, it is believed that the operation will prove a complete success, and that the sight will be quite restored.
Mr. and Mrs. C. Pike, of Peechalba, are at present on a visit to Frankston, and are staying at “Malunnah,” Melbourne road.
We are sorry to have to announce that Dr. C. Maxwell, of Frankston, is at present confined to his home with an attack of influenza. We wish him a speedy recovery.

THE stage scenes being prepared for the juvenile operetta, Sunrise Land, to be produced at the Frankston Palais on Friday, July 18, are of a stupendous and lavish description.
Positively nothing yet attempted on the Peninsula could compare with
this brilliant spectacle. A bevy of fan dances, butterflies, Japanese dolls, the charming Lotus Blossom and her maidens, the illustrious Prince, not forgetting Mr. and Mrs. Ogo Bogo, Japanese Ambassador, and Fightie Fightie, with his guard of honor, the musical minstrels, and the gloriously effective tableaux will make one huge spectacular and musical production of the highest merit.
***
THE forthcoming ball at the Palais on July 31, is already creating a great deal of interest in social circles. As a spectacular display alone the ball should be worth seeing, as it is rumored that some of the costumes worn at the recent Artists’ Ball in the city will be seen at the Palais.
Frankston ladies are busy preparing elaborate and novel costumes, and some of the fancy dress sets should be worth seeing. It is hoped that the gentlemen will not be left behind with fancy dress display. Considerable interest is being shown in the Queen of the Ball competition, and voting is proceeding briskly at the Frankston pictures. Ladies who are anxious to compete should send in their names at once to the Palais manager. ***
ACCIDENT TO GROCER’S CART
The entrance to the right-of-way at the rear of the Young street business premises, has gained a reputation on account of its deplorable condition, and while tenders have been called for the improvement of the lane, in question, the inevitable was bound to happen in the way of some kind of accident before repairs were effected.
This morning, the wheel of a
grocer’s cart, belonging to Mr. J. L. Pratt, while crossing the gutter at the entrance to the right-of-way, dropped into a hole, with the result that the axle was broken. Fortunately, the driver escaped without injury. ***

Pythons strike against Tigers in big upset
MPNFL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN'S DIV ONE
PINES have pulled off one of the upsets of the season by beating ladder leaders Dromana.
Pines came into the game with just three wins to their name for the 2024 season. Dromana have fared much better - they had lost just once heading into the clash at Dromana Recreation Reserve on Saturday.
Pines put on a defensive masterclass amid difficult weather conditions. They kept Dromana to just one goal in the first half.
Dromana hit back in the second half, and drew level in the dying stages of the game. Pines proved up for the challenge of holding off the premiership favourites, and managed to snatch back the lead.
Pines held on to win 5.9 (39) to 7.3 (45).
Johnathan Haidon, Shane Savage, Khyal Jacobson, Luke Dalmau, and Lachlan Marshall were Pines’ best. Marshall scored two vital goals.
Langwarrin also scored an upset win last weekend. They beat second-placed Mt Eliza 8.9 (57) to 4.10 (34) at Lloyd Park.
Sorrento bounced back from the previous week’s smashing by beating Red Hill on Saturday. Barely anything separated the sides all day long, but it was the Sharks who emerged victorious 8.12 (60) to 10.3 (63).
Frankston YCW and Rosebud each recorded five-goal wins away from home last weekend against Mornington and Frankston Bombers respectively.
MEN'S DIV TWO
CRIB Point’s successful 2024 season continued on Saturday when they hosted Seaford.
A three-goals-to-zero first term put the Magpies in the box seat. Seaford battled hard to claw their way back into contention, but Crib Point kept them at an arm's length.
Seaford scored the final three goals of the game, but it wasn’t enough to get them over the line. Crib Point held on to win 9.14 (68) to 9.5 (59).
Sean Parker, Lee Sheehan, Cooper Wisken, Eli Tyrrell, and Kane Tyrrell were named Crib Point’s best.
The win leaves Crib Point in fourth place with 36 points. Chelsea and Devon Meadows sit above them with 40 points each - Chelsea beat Tyabb by 47 points away from home last weekend and Devon Meadows smashed Karingal by 80.
Edithvale-Aspendale is a game clear in first place - they smashed Rye by 103 points to keep hold of first place on Saturday. Michael Meehan and Jack Turner booted four goals each, and Lewis Diggs and Zac Welker scored three.
Somerville and Pearcedale rounded out the weekend with comfortable wins over Bonbeach and Hastings respectively.
WOMEN'S DIV ONE
MORNINGTON Blue has handed Warragul Industrials their first defeat of the 2024 season.
A dominant second quarter saw Mornington Blue go into the halftime break ahead by 19 points. Warragul struck back in the third term, but Mornington put the game beyond doubt in the final quarter.
The Bulldogs bested Warragul 4.3 (27) to 6.7 (43). Jaime Davis, Tara Heath, Ashley Jans, Anna McGlade,
Hayley Monk, and Alex O’Kelly all hit the scoreboard for the victors. The win puts Mornington Blue on top of the ladder. Seaford picked up a comfortable win over Pearcedale on Saturday afternoon. A fast start saw the Tigers establish a big early lead, which they
held onto throughout the rest of the day.
Seaford beat Pearcedale 2.4 (16) to 9.8 (62).
Frankston thumped Mornington White at Kinetic Stadium under lights on Friday night. The Dolphins triumphed 7.17 (59) to 0.2 (2).

Homecoming for junior club
MT Eliza Junior Football Club has been given the green light to host home games again.
Last month the Frankston & District Junior Football League banned Mt Eliza JFC from hosting home games at Emil Madsen Reserve. It told the club that it was in violation of its constitution after the mass resignation of committee members earlier in the year.
On 19 June, Mt Eliza JFC held a special general meeting to appoint a new committee. The league then gave the club approval to resume hosting duties, and junior games
were held at Emil Madsen Reserve on the weekend of 29 June.
In a letter to club members sent last week, newly appointed Mt Eliza JFC president Mark McCudden said “since your new committee was elected last Wednesday night, our primary focus has been on fulfilling all the requirements set by the FDJFL for us to get junior footy back at Emil Madsen Reserve. With this goal at the forefront, many people have worked tirelessly to ensure that it’s been achieved and I’m sure I speak on behalf of all Redlegs players, families, supporters, spon-
sors and other key stakeholders in saying thank you.”
“While we are steadfast in our commitment to put in place the processes and procedures to ensure this disruption is never again repeated, the resilience shown by all in the Redlegs community sees us well placed to tackle the remainder of the season and beyond with strength, unity and confidence. I look forward to seeing everyone at Emil Madsen Reserve this weekend,” McCudden said.

’Buds sign Jerez from Doveton
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
ROSEBUD has bolstered its championship credentials by signing experienced midfielder Andy Jerez.
The 34-year-old’s football CV includes stints at Melbourne Victory, Knox City, Mornington, Dandenong City and Berwick City and he was lured to Olympic Park from VPL2 outfit Doveton.
His friendship with first team mainstay Doug Cunnison and the planning and ambition of head coach Stuart Johnson played important roles in Jerez’s decision to drop down five divisions to State 5 South.
And Jerez hit the ground running with a man-of-the-match display on debut in Rosebud’s 4-0 derby success over Mount Eliza at Emil Madsen Reserve on Saturday.
The visitors started with experienced strikers Mark Pagliarulo and Dave Greening up front and Greening hit the mark in the 20th minute.
When Ben Symonds was felled just outside the area in the 33rd minute Jerez stepped up and sent his free-kick into the top corner.
From that point the ’Buds controlled much of the game in one of their better performances of the season.
Two minutes into the second half Stef Papaluca’s precise pass picked out Jerez who skipped past two defenders then beat advancing Mount Eliza keeper Luke Armao to make it 3-0.
Then a neat Greening finish in the 92nd minute capped an impressive Rosebud display and head coach Stuart Johnston was delighted with his midweek signing.
“Our conversations have been going on for weeks and when the opportunity comes around to sign a player of that quality you don’t want it to pass you by,” Johnston said.
“It was important to get him to training and see his quality and how he could help our leadership group.
“We’ve lost Barney Johnson for another three to four weeks with a ligament issue and Billy Painting will be in Europe for over a month so I felt we needed a little extra cover and the timing is perfect for us.
“We still have so many young players in our senior squad and in my experience they learn so much from experienced players, especially on game day.”
And Jerez was upbeat about the move and his contribution to Saturday’s win.
“Rosebud is a really good club with a lot of good people,” he said.
“My friendship with Dougie (Cunnison) played a big part as well in coming here.
“Dropping down the leagues didn’t bother me because I wanted to enjoy my football again and after this game I know I’ve made the right decision.”
In other State 5 fixtures last weekend Seaford United earned the points in a hard-fought 3-1 home win over Mount Martha while Aspendale downed Barton United 4-2 at Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground.
It took until the 67th minute for Seaford striker Naseer Mohammad to break the deadlock when he got free at the back post for a tap-in. That lead was doubled three minutes later when man-of-the-match Logan Johnston surged forward from right back and into the box to slot the ball past Mount Martha keeper Derren Elliott.
The visitors hit back through substitute Marcus Poda when he pounced on a poor clearance and it was 2-1 and game on.
The decisive moment in this derby came in the 80th minute when Johnston
was ruled to have been brought down inside the area, a decision hotly contested by Mount Martha.
Cory Osorio took the resultant spot kick and settled the matter.
Seaford went into this clash without Backy Barakzoi (suspended), Wisey Barakzoi (injured) and Josh Vega (work commitments) while Michael Nobbs has signed for VPL2 outfit Beaumaris.
A James Macnab hat-trick underpinned Aspendale’s 4-2 home win over Barton.
He opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a shot into the bottom corner after an assist from Luca Bozzo.
Koray Yildirim made it 2-0 in the 51st minute after receiving the ball from Matthew Bruce and skipping clear of the last defender before rounding Barton keeper Suliman Fazel.
Barton’s Reza Hussaini had been booked in the first half and subbed at half-time but in the 71st minute was shown a second yellow while on the bench and sent off.
Macnab nabbed his second in the 78th minute before Barton’s Mostafa Ahmadi pounced on a defensive error to make it 3-1 in the 83rd minute but three minutes later Macnab completed his hat-trick to make the outcome assured.
Ahmadi converted an injury-time penalty to complete the scoreline.
In VPL1 Langwarrin hosted Brunswick City in a nine-goal thriller on Saturday running out a 6-3 winner.
Striker Archie Macphee rocketed up the league scoring charts with a fourgoal haul and now is a serious contender for Golden Boot honours.
Macphee’s afternoon started in stunning fashion after just 10 minutes.
James Kelly intercepted the ball in midfield and Macphee took possession turning quickly and sending a long high shot on his trademark left peg sailing over the head of Brunswick keeper Nicholas Mooney and into the unguarded goal.
Nine minutes later Lisandro Paz nipped in behind Langy defender Luke
Adams and finished expertly to make it 1-1.
Cal Goulding restored Langy’s lead in the 28th minute with a low first-time drive after the ball had pinballed about the Brunswick box.
But Brunswick wouldn’t be denied and two minutes from the interval Austin Wong’s shot from outside the area squeezed underneath diving Langy keeper Griffin Bambach to make it 2-2.
Three minutes into the second half a brilliant Macphee volley on the turn was parried by Mooney and a soft penalty was given after Dante Avian chased the rebound.
Macphee sent Mooney the wrong way from the spot.
But this seesawing contest had a few more twists and turns and Langy was caught on the break in the 60th minute as lightning-quick Dylan Allshom slammed home a left-foot strike from the edge of the area to make it 3-3.
Macphee’s hat-trick came in the 69th minute from a poor defensive header inside the box that he chested down then volleyed low past Mooney.
One of the goals of the game came in the 72nd minute when Ryo Takahashi unleashed a 25-metre screamer that soared into the top corner to give Langy a two-goal cushion.
Macphee’s fourth goal in the 89th minute completed the scoreline and a remarkable scoring performance.
In State 1 news a late Rhys Craigie goal couldn’t stop Mornington losing 2-1 to visitors Eltham Redbacks on Saturday.
Last week it was wrongly reported that Nick Waite was the new Mornington president when in fact Nick Townsend has been appointed to the leading role.
Unfortunately the error was not picked up in the nick of time. Sorry, moving right along …
In State 2 news promotion-chasing Peninsula Strikers and relegationthreatened Skye United both lost last weekend.
Strikers lost 3-2 away to Knox City with the visitors’ goals coming from Campbell Steedman and Riley Anderton while Skye went down 3-1 at home against Mooroolbark.
Saturday’s Skye v Mooroolbark clash was the local club’s Chris Attard memorial round honouring the late club administrator who lost his battle with multiple myeloma in 2016.
The Attard Memorial Day Winner in the senior game was Steve Hadjikakou while the reserves winner was Dale Atkins.
In State 3 news Frankston Pines drew 1-1 away to Dandenong South.
The local club’s women’s program is in disarray after the side withdrew from State 3 South last week.
Pines’ women’s team had been badly beaten throughout the season and had not won a game.
It no longer appears in Football Victoria’s online fixtures and results section with previous results being declared as byes and the club’s name removed from the league ladder.
In State 4 news Baxter earned an away point with a 3-3 draw with Springvale City on Friday night.
Fijian international Anish Khem hit back from the previous week’s disappointing loss with his hat-trick earning him man-of-the-match honours.
“All round it was a fantastic performance in fact I’d say it was our best display of the season,” Baxter gaffer Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said.
Chelsea hitman James Stinson was back among the goals last weekend with a hat-trick in his side’s 4-1 away win over Lyndale United.
Stinson opened the scoring in the 16th minute following a Daniel Vella cross but four minutes later Lucas Whiteside equalised with a bullet header from a corner.
A Daniel Lewis header in the 36th minute gave the visitors a 2-1 half-time lead and in the second half Stinson converted a penalty at the second attempt and later finished from a one-on-one
with Lyndale keeper Michael Napolitano to secure a comfortable win.
Chelsea’s home game against Endeavour United this weekend will be for the Melino Cup played exclusively between these clubs.
Meanwhile Somerville Eagles have Tom Simmons to thank for Saturday’s 1-0 derby win over Mentone at Mentone Playing Fields.
Simmons was on the end of a pinpoint ball from Alessio Izzo in the second half which he controlled superbly at the back post before sending his shot into the top corner for the winner.
