Stay active this winter at PARC

Now that winter is well and truly upon us, it can be harder to find the motivation needed to keep up with routines. In those moments when you’re struggling to leave your warm, cosy home, remembering your health and wellbeing goals and what it is you are working towards can go a long way to keeping you focused, motivated and consistent.

Help and inspiration is at hand thanks to the ream Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) in Frankston. This year, we are asking the community what motivates them in creating healthy habits and routines by completing this sentence – My Purpose is…

Having your reason or your goal for being healthy front of mind is one of the best ways to get motivated, and it could be anything! Everyone’s purpose is personal. Whether you’re training for a marathon, wanting to increase your fitness, rehabbing an injury, or simply wanting to get more movement in so you feel good, your Purpose will help you this winter.   PARC is the Peninsula’s premier aquatic and recreation facility, renowned for its award-winning health club, aquatic spaces, and supportive community. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and purpose, especially during the winter months. Here are four tips to help you create a healthy routine this winter:

Tips to help you stay active from your local Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre Team:

Find your People – Having a workout buddy can make your exercise more enjoyable as well help you be accountable. Pair up with a friend or family member and plan your gym visits or morning walks at the same time. Having a friend on with similar goals means you can both support and motivate each other.

Find Your Purpose and set achievable goals - Setting realistic and attainable health goals can provide motivation, helping you to stay on track. Set-short term goals to focus on, while aiming for bigger milestones for you to work towards. Be sure to track your progress so you can see your improvements over time.   Create a consistent schedule –

Consistency is important when creating a healthy routine. By planning out an exercise schedule in your week, that is manageable with all your other commitments like work or children, you are ensuring you have set aside time to prioritise yourself and your health. Choose days and time that you know will work best for you and treat them as important appointments.

Enjoy variety to keep things interesting – Variety can help keep your workouts exciting and prevent burnout. Incorporating different types of exercises also ensures you are working out different muscle groups. Try new classes or take advantage of the different services and amenities that can enhance your overall wellbeing, such enjoying a mindful Yoga class or recovering

in a Sauna or Steam room.   Stay active and enjoy the journey

Incorporating these tips into your weekly routine can help you stay active and make your movement more enjoyable and effective. Remember, the goal is to create a sustainable habit that keeps you motivated and engaged, no matter the season.

PERFORMERS from BAM Arts in Frankston were left shattered when their planned dance performance for Moomba Monarch Emma Watkins was cancelled due to extreme weather earlier this year. Last week the popular children’s performer dropped into the BAM Arts studio for a visit, and the eager performers finally got the chance to put on a show for her. See story page 6

Huge housing goal for Frankston

Brodie Cowburn

brodie@baysidenews.com.au

MORE than 30,000 houses should be built in the Frankston local government area by 2051, the state government says. The Victorian government has set every council a housing target to reach by 2051. It has declared that 36,000 homes should be built in the Frankston municipality during that timeframe. It has set a target of 59,000 homes for the neighboring Kingston Council area. The state government is encouraging councils to undergo planning changes to accommodate housing development.

In a media release accompanying the housing target announcement, it said “Victoria’s councils have the powers to unlock space for more homes by proposing changes to local planning rules. The government will consult closely with councils to harness their local knowledge, with councils to report back on the draft target and the local changes they propose.”

Frankston Council has been developing its FMAC structure plan during this council term - the divisive plan outlines preferred height limits of up to 16 storeys for developments in parts of Frankston’s city centre. The plan and associated planning scheme amend-

ment is expected to be considered by a planning panel next month (“Hundreds call for height limit changes” The Times 19/3/2024). Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said the plan will help the state government with its planning objectives.

“Frankston City Council will continue to work with the state government to deliver more housing options throughout Frankston City. We have developed our Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre Structure Plan, which plans for the growth of our city centre for the next 20 years. Council is also developing the draft Frankston City Housing Strategy along with our Social and Affordable

Housing Policy,” Conroy said. “Housing should be encouraged near public transport, employment opportunities and services with adequate access to open space. Critical to this will be the roles of the Department of Transport and Planning and Melbourne Water to support and work alongside council as we reimagine our future and build our vital housing supply, particularly with the development of the state government’s proposed draft Plan Victoria.

“These strategies will give council the foundations in which we can work with state and federal governments and give developers and community housing providers certainty when investing

in our city.”

Premier Jacinta Allan has called on councils to provide all the support they can to help build more than two million new homes statewide over the next 30 years. “To give industry the confidence they need to get on and build, we need government and all councils working towards the same goal – more homes for Victorians, in the right places,” she said.

The housing targets are in the draft stage. The final targets are expected to be released by the end of the year. To take part in community consultation visit engage.vic.gov.au/project/shape-our-victoria/page/housing-targets-2051

Crisis-hit club appoints new committee

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 Times 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 Times 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.

New pavilion complete

THE completion of the new pavilion at Lloyd Park in Langwarrin was celebrated at a function last week.

The new two-storey pavilion has been officially opened. The $6.5 million project features four changerooms, an umpires’ rooms, toilets, first aid rooms, a canteen, a lift, a kitchen, and new car parking.

Frankston Council and the federal government each put money towards the project - council spent $3.5 million and the federal government spent $3 million.

The original pavilion was 50-yearsold. The upgrade was announced in 2021, and was completed this year after a delay caused by the collapse of the Lloyd Group construction company (“Delayed work on major projects begins” The Times 8/6/2023).

Man wanted over bus assault

A MAN is wanted over a sexual assault on a Frankston-bound bus in Scoresby.

The assault took place on the 901 bus at around 3.40pm on 29 April. The man police want to speak to got off the bus at Dandenong Train Station. In a statement, Victoria Police said the man is

“perceived to be Indian sub-continental in appearance, of medium build with dark hair”. They have released an image (above) of the man they wish to speak to - anyone who recognises him can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Historical abuse inquiry recommendations will be implemented

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 truth-telling 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 gov -

ernment 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 Times 13/3/2024).

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.

Hospital sees no adverse outcomes from ICU closure

MORNINGTON’S not-for-profit hos-

pital

The Bays is closing its intensive care unit, prompting fears by some staff of job losses and a reduction in patient care.

Whistleblowers believe the change in status from intensive care to “high dependency” was a decision made by the executive team and the board due to cost blowouts and will result in jobs losses, reduced patient care, and moving some patients to other hospitals.

It is believed the change in status means there will be no requirement to employ an intensive care unit doctor on site, with emergencies run by the critical care nurse working that shift.

One staff member said the change was “concerning” as nursing staff could not prescribe medication, even in emergencies.

“The staff will be relying on calling the patient’s doctor - hoping they answer the phone) for advice, hoping they answer the phone - for advice,” the staff member said.

“In a major emergency staff will be required at call 000 and a bed found in an ICU from another hospital.”

The hospital’s CEO Jane Phelan said “the health care environment” was experiencing significant challenges and all hospitals were required to review their services and make

decisions based on demand.

She said the decision to reclassify the ICU to a HDU (high dependency unit) followed “very low demand” for intensive care services at The Bays Hospital over the past five years.

“More than 95 per cent of the patients we care for in the unit require HDU-level services, and those services will continue to be provided,” she said.

“All of our ICU nursing staff will be retained, with a team of appropriately skilled and qualified doctors providing a high level of care under the HDU model.

“As a community owned not-forprofit hospital, the reclassification will allow us to reinvest in theatre equipment and expand our services in areas where the community needs us the most, particularly cancer services. Our new cancer care centre is on track for completion in August and will bring much-needed cancer services to the peninsula.”

The Bays is now building a cancer centre which will include radiation oncology, research facilities for clinical trials, a wellness and education centre, courtyard garden, consulting suites and a wig library.

The hospital received some federal government money for the cancer care centre but has been appealing for community and philanthropic support to complete the project.

Currently, there are no radiation

oncology services and only limited chemotherapy and cancer support services on the Mornington Peninsula.

The whistleblower said they believed the broader peninsula community “should be made aware” of the hospital’s decision.

The 100-bed hospital has been in operation for more than 90 years, starting in 1937 as the King George Memorial Bush Nursing Hospital.

It has two sites, the main hospital in Main Street, Mornington, and a dialysis services and aged care centre in Victoria Street, Hastings.

It opened its ICU – originally staffed by senior doctors, ICU nurses and consultants - in May 2019 to provide acute care to post operative patients.

However, staff have told The Times the unit has seen a decline in patients requiring intensive care and has been offering more of a high dependency style of nursing. Those patients, while still requiring more support than in the wards, do not need to be monitored as acutely as those in intensive care.

“Over the past 12 months, the executive management team have been monitoring the unit’s patient days closely and closing the ICU during periods of low occupancy, with 13 weeks of closure during school holidays,” a staff members said.

Mornington MP Chris Crewther offered to provide advocacy to the state government to allow The Bays to retain its ICU services.

Grant for land council

THE Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation is one of 22 successful applicants for the latest round of South East Water’s community grants.

The Frankston-based land council is coming out of a period of turmoilan administator was appointed to take control of it just last year.

South East Water announced the 22 recipients of its community grants last week. The successful nominees will share $140,000.

The Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation was named among the recipients. A statement on the South East Water website read that the grant money will be used to “integrate Aboriginal Cultural knowledge and practices such as ecological burning, reseeding, educational forestry gardens and pest plant control to conserve koala habitats.”

South East Water managing director Lara Olsen said the grant recipients

make “valuable contributions towards supporting a thriving, more liveable community.”

“We’re excited to support a broad range of projects to help make communities better places to live, including essential food relief, accessible programs for people living with a disability, and health and wellbeing support for refugee communities,” she said. “We especially want to recognise the hard work of the many volunteers behind these important community projects. We look forward to the broad range of benefits they’ll deliver for customers, community and the environment.”

Other grant recipients included the Beamaris Life Saving Club, Rotary Club of Cranbourne, Holy Trinity Anglican Kindergarten Hampton, and Mums Supporting Families in Need. For the full list of grant recipients visit southeastwater.com.au/about-us/ community/grants

Investigations resume into wind terminal effects

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 Times 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

www.baysidenews.com.au

“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”

Bonding over behaviour

DOG ownership in Australia is at an all‐time high, with more than two million households getting a pooch since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But with the increase in dogs comes the inevitable increase in dog‐related issues, such as lost dogs, barking dogs, naughty dogs, roaming dogs and bored dogs.

Animal trainers say dog training has never been more important for both the enjoyment of the owner and the happiness and security of the dog.

Mornington Obedience Dog Club secretary Irene Scott is one of the many volunteers from dog clubs around the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston who help to run puppy classes, and obedience and “rally” sessions for dogs and owners.

The club, which has been running for more than 30 years, helps train up to 30 to 40 dogs every weekend and is also a trialling club.

Scott says positive reinforcement methods - food or toys and praise - to help build a strong relationship between owners and their dogs and, essentially, promote security and comfort for both.

“Good dog behaviour takes an investment of time, but is a great way to socialise your dog, build their confidence and avoid bad behaviours, plus it can be fun for owners,” she said.

Scott says the Saturday classes run by volunteers are very hands on, with a focus on “training the people who own dogs, who in turn train their dogs”.

She says the more time an owner invests in training a dog to live in the human world, the more likely that any problems can be avoided.

Like all volunteers at the club, Scott is involved in community dog training because she is passionate about dogs and seeing them live their best lives

Nosing around: Biddy McPhee-Lam going on the hunt with her border collie Wren when Mornington Obedience Dog Club held its scent trails at the Frankston Dog Obedience Club grounds in Langwarrin.

within the community. Her personal experience of dog training was a life saver for her pooch Harley, who was reactive with other dogs.

“It was suggested to me by my vet to try him on scent work, which helps dogs by calming them and satisfying their need for smelling,” she said.

“With the nose being the strongest sense in a dog, scent work is suitable for all dogs, not just certain breeds. And it certainly makes for a happier dog and owner.”

Obedience trials are another extension of training that demonstrates the dog and their handler’s ability to work together with precision and publicly show the training they have done.

The classes are progressive and allow dogs and handlers to improve their skills and experience as the dogs earn titles and satisfy their need to please and work under direction. All fully vaccinated dogs are welcome at most community‐based obedience clubs (puppies must have had two vaccinations), but dogs with such behavioural problems as anxiety or reactivity, usually wear a coloured band to alert other dog owners to give them space.

Mornington Obedience Dog Club is looking for more volunteer dog trainers and general helpers, and also a permanent venue. The club now uses the grounds of the George Vowell Centre corner Cobb Road and Nepean Highway, Mount Eliza.

New members are also welcome to join on any Saturday. Bookings are not necessary. Puppy and beginner classes run from 1pm to 1.45 pm, and new and returning members are asked to come to the registration desk no later than 12.45pm.

TASKMASTER AUSTRALIA

TEN, 7.30pm

Many Taskmaster fans surely didn’t think it was possible to have a harsher judge than UK comedian Greg Davies, but his Australian counterpart Tom Gleeson seems to have managed it. This quirky game show sees five comedians (including Wil Anderson, pictured) strive to impress in a series of tasks, then explain their actions before grandmaster Gleeson, assistant Tom Cashman and a studio audience. Tonight, Wil shows off his newfound love for sketch comedy.

This award-winning show follows pathologist Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox, pictured), forensic expert Jack Hodgson (David Caves) and their dedicated team as they help police across the UK solve chilling murders by letting the victim – the “silent witness” – speak. In tonight’s season 26 finale, the evidence is mounting against an accused police officer as the local criminal investigation department finds dissent within their ranks.

TENNIS: WIMBLEDON NINE, 9.45pm

Break out the white slacks, a bowl of strawberries and cream and even a Pimm’s cup. The world’s tennis elite converge on London to hopefully etch their name into the Grand Slam history books. Though the time difference isn’t too friendly to us Aussies, avid sports fans can begin building their latenight viewing stamina here ahead of the Paris Olympics, with host Roz Kelly, and expert commentators Jelena Dokic (pictured) and Brenton Speed ready to take us through every point. Local hopes Alex de Minaur and two-time quarterfinalist Ajla Tomljanovic lead the charge.

SATURDAY

CYCLING: TOUR DE FRANCE

SBS, 8.30pm

It’s that time of the year when Australian sports fans get ready to survive on little sleep, as the ultimate of cycling’s Grand Tours begins. The 111th Tour de France starts in Florence for the first time and will see riders push themselves to the limit over 3492 kilometres – including 52,340 metres uphill – through Italy, San Marino, Monaco and France in pursuit of the Maillot Jaune (or yellow jersey, for us anglophones). SBS’s commentary team is led by Matthew Keenan with former cycling stars Dr Bridie O’Donnell, Simon Gerrans and David McKenzie providing expert commentary. The Tour starts with a bang, with tonight’s hilly first stage taking riders the 206km to Rimini.

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?”

Presented as part of their 2024 Season, The Visitors tours to Frankston Arts Centre on Tuesday 6 August, 7.30pm. Tickets available at thefac.com.au or on 03 9784 1060.

NEWS FROM NOWHERE

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.

Frankston Park improvement - Where is that £2000 loan?

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

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, ***

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,

Tigers sink teeth into Mt Eliza, Stonecats smash Sorrento

MPNFL

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.

Red Hill worked hard to pick up a two-goal win over Frankston Bombers on Saturday. Langwarrin beat Pines comfortably at Eric Bell Reserve, and Rosebud got the win over Mornington at Olympic Park to close out the round.

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.

Mornington Blue emerged from the intra-club derby with a comfortable victory. They won 23.23 (161) to 1.1 (7).

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

Warragul Industries picked up another win on Saturday evening. They beat Pearcedale 5.1 (31) to 10.9 (69) away from home.

Frankston had a bye.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Seagulls sign four, lose two

SOCCER

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.

The Mount Martha Mariners were to strong for Ringwood City’s women’s team winning 6 to 0 in their State League Round 10 match on Sunday at Civic Reserve.

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,

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.
