AFTER 50 years saving lives, Frankston paramedic Kevin Cooper is about to retire.
He said “sometimes, with the stress of being a paramedic, you wonder why you come to work. But delivering a baby or bringing someone back from the edge reminds you why you love this job.”

MORE money for the Nepean Boulevard project will be a focus for Frankston Council during this year’s federal election campaign.
The 2025 federal election is likely to take place in April or May. Dunkley is expected to be hotly contested - Jodie Belyea defeated Liberal can-
didate Nathan Conroy by a margin of just 2.7 percent at the March 2024 by-election. Belyea and Conroy have both been preselected to run again this year.
With an election date announcement looming, Frankston Council has named its top priorities for federal government funding. At a meeting last week, Frankston councillors agreed to ask for money towards projects listed in the Nepean Boulevard Master Plan.
The plan to convert the Nepean Highway into a bustling boulevard includes the signalisation of the Overton Road and Nepean Highway intersection, the beautification of the Kananook Creek Park and Gateway site, activation of the Comfort Station, and pedestrian and cycling connections to Keys Street, the Frankston Foreshore, and Plowman Place . Frankston councillors have also agreed to ask the major parties for
$3 million towards the Bruce Park Pavilion redevelopment, $500,000 for emergency relief providers like Community Support Frankston, and $350,000 to provide support service professionals at Frankston Station.
Council is also seeking a federal government contribution towards its $11.7 million plan to improve walking and cycling pathways across Frankston’s city centre.
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said
council had made an effort to confirm its priorities well ahead of the federal election. “In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go,” he said. “Each of the projects we have identified for council-led advocacy directly reflect what our community has asked for and aim to achieve positive outcomes for our residents, workers, students, and visitors.

A FRANKSTON paramedic is ready to call time on his career after 50 years of saving lives.
Kevin Cooper marked 50 years of service earlier this month. He began working in 1975 with the Peninsula Ambulance Service in Frankston as a 17-year-old cadet, and graduated as a qualified ambulance officer in December 1977.
During Cooper’s five decades on the job he attended the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires and the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, he delivered 15 babies, and he worked flying the “Angel of Mercy” helicopter ambulance based at Tyabb Airfield.
In the last few years, Cooper has been working to introduce the life-saving drug Solu-Cortef to ambulances. He said “after completing worldwide research, I wrote the first draft of the Adrenal Insufficiency Clinical Practice Guidelines. I was thrilled when SoluCortef was introduced to ambulances across Victoria in January 2023.”
“Shortly after, my partner Brett Williams and I were able to save the life of a young mother of triplets who was in adrenal crisis using this new drug. It was a great feeling,” Williams said. “Sometimes, with the stress of being a paramedic, you wonder why you come to work. But delivering a baby or bringing someone back from the edge reminds you why you love this job.”
Cooper is now on long service leave ahead of his planned retirement in August. He said he is enjoying spending time walking his dog at Frankston Pier during his time off.
“It’s a strange but good feeling to step away from such a busy routine. After decades of working in a fast-paced environment, it’s nice to slow down and enjoy more of life’s quieter moments with family,” he said.
Ambulance Victoria Mount Martha acting team manager Suzanne Constantinou said Cooper had made a “remarkable impact”.
“Kevin has been directly involved in shaping Ambulance Victoria and healthcare, and it’s been a privilege to work alongside him. His career highlights are a true testament to his dedication and commitment to serving those most vulnerable in our community,” she said.
WAYNE Holdsworth has been named Frankston’s citizen of the year for his work in suicide prevention.
Holdsworth’s 17-year-old son Mac died by suicide in October 2023 aged just 17. Mac Holdsworth was the victim of sexual extortion before his death.
Since his son’s passing, Wayne Holdsworth has created SmackTalk. The organisation raises awareness about online threats, and campaigns for suicide prevention measures.
Through SmackTalk, Holdsworth has spread his message in presentations nationwide. He was among the leading voices in last year’s campaign to introduce laws for minimum social media ages. On 26 January he was named Frankston’s best citizen.
The 2025 young citizen of the year was awarded to David McFarlane, who has dedicated 13 years to the local Scouts community. He is now the unit leader of the Mavis Rover unit. Women and Mentoring was named the community group of the year for its work matching volunteer mentors with women and non-binary people who are experiencing legal issues.
Frankston mayor Kris Bolam offered praise for the winners. “Congratulations to all our winners and thank you for your unwavering dedication to ensuring our city is a safe, supportive and thriving place. You should all be incredibly proud of your achievements – just as we are –and the lasting marks you have left behind,” he said.

“Frankston, as a suburb, is undergoing enormous growth. In order to keep at pace with this growth, it’s vital that the city council vigorously advocate for state and federal monies to flow unabated into all parts of the municipality. Council has struck the right chord with these election priorities. For many of them, council will either offer matched funding or has already provided generous funding support in
the past. So it’s time for the federal government, and the federal candidates, to do their bit.”
Council’s $11.7 active transport project includes the $2.5 million Peninsula Link to Baxter Trail, $1.6 million for Frankston-Dandenong Road between Boundary Road to Thompsons Road, $1.5 million for Baxter Park to Peninsula Link, $3.63 million for Eel Race Road from Station Street to Patterson River Secondary College, and $2.5
A MAN has died after a car crash in Pearcedale earlier this month.
An 87-year-old man and a 85-yearold Pearcedale woman were taken to hospital after a Toyota Camry collided with a Mitsubishi Triton at the intersection of Baxter-Tooradin Road and Craig Road at around 8am on 11 January. The man, who police say was driving the Toyota, died on 18 January.
The passenger’s injuries were nonlife-threatening.
The Mitsubishi driver, a 24-year-old Chelsea woman, was uninjured.
As of 22 January, there have been 22 deaths on Victorian roads in 2025. That figure is nearly a 30 percent increase from the same time last year.
Transport Accident Commission CEO Tracey Slatter said the increased number of deaths is concerning, and that “it is crucial for everyone to play their role in keeping the roads safe”.
POLICE have issued a stern warning to campers who set unauthorised fires this summer.
An unattended campfire is believed to be the cause of a bushfire in Cape Otway this month, which resulted in 150 campers being evacuated. Fires lit on total fire ban days and fires left unattended can both lead to charges. The punishment for recklessly or intentionally causing a bushfire is up to 15 years in jail.
Victoria Police arson and explosives squad detective inspector Chris Murray said 18 people were warned about unauthorised campfires in the east of Victoria last month on a total fire ban day. “It is absolutely critical that people are aware of the current fire danger rating and what it means for them, both before they head out on a trip and during the duration of the trip,” he said. “The weather can change quickly, meaning people need to adjust their behaviour. It may mean that on one day a campfire is permitted but the next day it absolutely is not.
million for Fletcher Road from Beach Street to Baxter Trail. Bolam said “I look forward to sharing more information about each of these projects in the coming weeks and months.
“Council has an important role to play in engaging with members of Parliament and political candidates in an effort to influence decision-making and secure funding contributions that benefit our local community now and into the future.”
“We’ve already seen too many lives lost on our roads this year and we don’t want that to continue,” she said.
“Every Victorian has a role to play in keeping people safe on our roads; slow down, put the phone away, wear a seatbelt and never drive while affected by drugs or alcohol.”
A report will be prepared for the coroner on the Pearcedale crash. Police are investigating, and have asked any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 .
“The actions of these 18 people could have led to catastrophic consequences for their families and everyone around them. It could have resulted in the destruction of people’s properties and livelihoods, as well as irreparable damage to the local bushland.
“No life is worth a campfire and I again want to remind the community that if you light it, you own it – which includes all the consequences of your actions.”
THE sand sculpture exhibition is set to return to the Frankston waterfront this April.
In 2018, the sand sculpture event moved from Frankston to the Mornington Peninsula. Sandstorm Events has confirmed that the 2025 edition of the Australian Sand Sculpting Championships will come back to Frankston.
The 2025 event is themed “The Villians of the Storyline”. From 5 to 27 April, artists will work on lifesize sand sculptures inspired by famous villainsSandstorm Events director Sharon Redmond “we look forward to showcasing the talents of the best sand sculptors in Australia and sharing our love of this art-form with our sand fans.”
The event will be hosted at McComb Reserve. Frankston mayor Kris Bolam said “it’s great to see the sand sculpting return to its home on Frankston’s waterfront after a six-year hiatus.”
“The sand sculptures are an iconic feature of Frankton’s foreshore – attracting locals and visitors from interstate and overseas,” he said. “This exciting event showcases the incredible talent of Australian sand sculptors as well as the creativity and imagination held within our local community.”
The competition will be followed by a three week exhibition. For more information or for tickets visit www. sandstormevents.com

MORE than $500,000 in grant money spending was approved by Frankston Council at its most recent meeting.
In its next three budgets, council will allocate around $248,000 to specialist community services, nearly $262,000 to community centres, $12,000 to fundraising events, and a little more than $24,000 to seniors groups.
Among the recipients recommended by council officers were the Frankston Social Enterprise Hub, Frankston Toy Library, McClelland Gallery, Peninsula Community Legal Centre, SES Frankston Unit, the Women’s Spirit Project, Centenary Park Golf Club, Nairm Marr Djambana, and the Belvedere, Langwarrin, Lyrebird, and Orwil Street community centres.
Deputy mayor Steffie Conroy said the community service partnership grants are an “important way for council to make sure organisations across the city who are committed to supporting our diverse community receive funding.”
“Council recognises the cost of living crisis is still very much an issue for many people, and we are now exploring a comprehensive relief package to further support those in need in our community. I am looking forward to working together to determine how council can best address this issue for our community,” she said.

A GROUP of reckless pranksters have faced a fierce backlash from residents and beach users after performing a dangerous stunt involving glass at Mothers Beach in Mornington.
The males involved, believed to be youths and YouTube attention-seekers, reportedly placed several glass picture frames beneath the surface of the sand about 2pm on 21 January while the beach was packed on a hot day.
The Times understands about five of the picture frames, which bizarrely depicted American rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, were buried at various spots
along the beach near Schnapper Point with water bottles placed on top of each one in what appeared to act as “markers” before the group walked away.
A group of girls are believed to have come across one of the picture frames which was broken into shards of glass.
Staff at the Mornington Boat Hire were alerted and found some of the frames buried in the sand and immediately called police.
According to a social media post, a witness said the youths had told police they were filming a YouTube video by putting the glass frames beneath the sand “then grabbing it soon after”.
But the witness said there was “definitely no one watching or nearby the
ones planted near us”, noting the beach was busy and that someone could have easily “cut their foot or entire leg open”.
Victoria Police said officers spoke to the males at the scene but determined “no offence was detected”.
“A few males had buried a whole picture frame with a water bottle as a marker on top, to film themselves locating it with a metal detector,” a police spokeswoman said.
But locals were quick to express their outrage, with many pointing to the potential dangers.
“They need to be called out. It’s not ok, it won’t be accepted on our beaches, and locals won’t stand for it,” Melanie Bird, a Mornington resident and regular
beach cleaning volunteer, said.
“I simply can’t fathom the mindset of those who would commit such an act.”
The Mornington Peninsula Shire quickly deployed their beach cleaning team to the area, while Bird said she and others also did a “triple check” the following morning at the beach “and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary”.
The Times was told that picture frames and broken glass were also found at Mt Martha beach in the evening, just hours after the first incident, but it cannot be confirmed whether the same group was involved.
Mornington Boat Hire owner and the shire’s deputy mayor Paul Pingiaro said the safety of the community and visi-
tors was a top priority, “which makes it deeply disappointing that this reckless behaviour took place”.
“With so many families enjoying the beach at the time, we are incredibly fortunate that no one was injured by the buried glass objects,” he said.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the vigilant members of the public who promptly alerted my staff, allowing us to address the situation swiftly and effectively.”
Pingiaro also thanked the shire for their rapid deployment of a beach cleanup team and Victoria Police’s prompt response.
AT 66, Wayne Hinton is still going strong on the field after decades of dedication as an Australian rules umpire.
The Mornington resident’s fairness and commitment to the game has made him a familiar and respected figure at a local and state level after 45 years of umpiring.
“I love getting out there and just trying to do my right job,” he told The Times.
For his services, Hinton was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) as part of the Australia Day honours “for service to Australian rules football as an umpire”.
His impact on the game is immeasurable having officiated more than 600 games since the early 80s including at the highest level of AFL and VFL, earning him life membership with the Victorian Amateur Football Association and AFL Umpires Association.
He has also umpired junior games across the Mornington Peninsula, and today he continues to umpire at grassroots level with the Southern Umpires League, using his wealth of knowledge to teach the next generation.
“It’s coaching kids to come out of their shell and educate them and teach them to make decisions on the spot,” he said.
“Sometimes there’s arguments out there and decisions you have to make, and that’s your role really, to just test yourself out and make deci-
sions under pressure. And it builds a better person, builds your character.”
Mr Hinton began umpiring in the VAFA before going on to the VFL’s Cadet Squad in 1983.
Asked what sparked his interest in umpiring, Hinton said he started when he got his car licence “to give me a bit of fitness for athletics in the summer, really just to keep my body in order and keep training”.
“It’s just been a passion ever since.”
He said the role “matures you in a big way and now that I’ve been doing it so long, I just love meeting the boys out there or the girls out on the ground”.
“Sometimes there’s tricky situations, but at the end of the game a lot come up and say thank you.”
In receiving the award, Hinton said that while he was incredibly honoured, he was in initial shock when he got the news.
“I was driving out of the Frankston Hospital car park … and then I nearly ran off the balcony when I was told, at first I thought it was a scam call.”
Hinton said he was lucky to be a part of the game and to keep fit while doing so.
“I reckon it’s better than going to a psychologist … you’re mentally relieved and relaxed, that’s why I don’t want to give it away. I just love it.”

DR KYM Jenkins, a psychiatrist from Sorrento, has been recognised for her extensive work in mental health with a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) medal.
Jenkins (pictured right) has dedicated nearly three decades to the profession, is a member of the Australian Medical Association and a past president and board director of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, as well as a member of the Asylum Seeker and Refugee Mental Health Network.
She has also has her own private practice, and is a sub-committee chair for the Support for Rural Specialists in Australia, and a member of The Family Violence Psychiatry Network.
Other roles include working for Peninsula Health and at the Rosebud Community Mental Health Clinic.
Jenkins said she was humbled and honoured to receive the medal as part of the Australia Day honours, saying she was proud to play a role in advancing the understanding and treatment of mental health.
“I think it feels a bit unreal, really,” she told The Times. “You just do what you do and then you think that somebody somewhere thinks you’re doing a good job and it’s worth recognition, I’m a bit taken aback.”
The AM award recognised her “significant service to psychiatry as a clinician, academic and in executive roles”.
This included her work at Monash University as head of education/training of the Department of Psychiatry, School of Clinical Sciences, and a coordinator of psychiatry training.
Jenkins said mental health was a vital part of overall well-being, but noted “it’s not without its challenges and there is so much more we need to do in the mental health field”.
Originally a general practitioner, Jenkins went into psychiatry with a specific interest and passion in the health of colleagues and other doctors. From 2007 to 2017, she became the medical director of the Victorian Doctors Health Program, which involved “teaching and education and welfare of our colleagues and running mentoring programs”.
“Like many doctors you get touched by mental health issues in your colleagues or even suicide in
A GURUNDJI woman who has dedicated herself to community service and advocacy says she is “deeply honoured” to receive a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM).
Deb Mellett, a Rosebud resident known as Aunty Deb in the community, was recognised in the Australia Day honours “for service to the Indigenous community of Victoria”.
While her service spans a range of roles, today Aunty Deb is the manager of the Nairm Marr Djambana Frankston Aboriginal Association where she focuses on creating a strong, healthy, and thriving community while also running her own consultancy.
She was also a former social planner for the Aboriginal Culture and Community with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and a project officer who worked on setting up the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association Gathering Place on the peninsula.
Other roles in the community included being the Reconciliation Action Plan project officer for the Bayside City Council from 2021 to 2022. She is a former ambassador for BreastScreen Australia and is currently a volunteer with the Breast Cancer Network Australia.
Born on Larrakia Land (Darwin), Aunty Deb has lived and worked in Victoria for the past 26 years serving the community.
“Having spent my life working predominantly in Aboriginal spaces, I’ve seen firsthand the intergenerational impacts of our history on our people,” she said.
“This drives my purpose to change the narrative and close the gap in health, education, early years outcomes, and employment.”
Speaking of the OAM, Aunty Deb conceded the “recognition is not just about me”.
“It belongs to the resilience, strength, and unwavering spirit of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community that I am privileged to belong to and serve,” she said.
“To say I was surprised would be an understatement. This recognition carries immense responsibility, and I am happy because it provides
your colleagues … you just feel like you want to do your own little bit to mitigate the rates,” she said.
“It’s also trying to break down a bit of the stigma to make sure not only doctors, but all healthcare workers get help when they need it when we’re supposed to be the ones that look after other people.”
Among her achievements was being elected chair of the Council of Presidents of Medical Colleges, which coincided at the time of the pandemic. At the time she co-founded the Hand-n-Hand Peer Support in 2020, a peer support service for healthcare professionals.

a platform to advocate for and amplify the voices and issues affecting our community.
“This honour is not just a personal milestone— it’s a platform to further raise our voices, champion systemic change, and work towards a future where our people are empowered and flourishing.”
Throughout her career, Aunty Deb said she had had the privilege of contributing to initiatives that empower the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
This included developing Employment Strategies and Reconciliation Action Plans, serving as a board member for First 1000 Days Australia, and Baluk Arts, and being part of the Southern Metro Partnerships.
Looking ahead, Aunty Deb said her focus remained on driving systemic change with an aim of securing funding for a “fit-for-purpose building” that will allow Nairm Marr Djambana to expand its cultural education, cultural tourism, and community services, as well as growing its social enterprises.

JUDI McKee’s dedication to community service has deep roots that stretch back to her childhood in country Victoria.
“Most people would say we were a middleclass family with supportive parents who were community minded and involved in the majority of activities of a local community – church, sporting activities, social occasions, disasters such as fire and floods, and local education,” the Safety Beach resident said.
To this day she says dedicating time to helping and supporting communities, especially the most fragile ones, gives her a sense of belonging and identity, “and also a natural sense of accomplishment for doing what I can for others and the community”.
For her service to the community of Melbourne, Judi was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Australia Day honours.
Judi has served in a variety of roles including

as youth services director for Frankston North Rotary. She was also the first woman to join the Frankston North Rotary Club 19 years ago and was a director for 16 of those years. In 2012, she was elected president.
A former choir convenor with the Mornington Peninsula Chorale for 20 years, Judi arranged for 50 choristers to join other international choristers to perform Sir Karl Jenkins’ Requiem in Carnegie Hall New York. Among other roles, Judi was the founder and chair of Abbeyfield Society Frankston from the 1990s to 2022. The national not-for-profit society is a registered community housing provider committed to the development of a sustainable community-based housing model.
“For the best part of 35 years I was the chair of the local society, working with other volunteer committee members to oversee the management of the house and ensure the residents were safe and secure. And that was our reward, knowing our residents were able to enjoy their lives without having to face homelessness and insecurity,” Mrs McKee said.
In her professional career as a registered division one nurse, Judi has made a significant contribution towards services at Peninsula Health, where she worked from 1986 to 2019.
During her term she was instrumental in the establishment of the Aged Care Assessment Services and the Cognitive Dementia and Memory Service for the Mt Eliza Geriatric Centre (now integrated into Peninsula Health). She was also behind the initial establishment of the access and referral unit for Peninsula Health, with the aim of centralising the point of referral into Peninsula Health’s Aged Care programs and other services.
Speaking of her Australia Day honour, Mrs McKee said she was “truly honoured”.
“I feel proud, humbled, overwhelmed and emotional. This is a very special moment in my life, and I am thankful for the recognition of my contributions towards making the world a better place. This award promotes the work of volunteers in general; it highlights the difference volunteers can all make,” she said.

ON Sunday afternoon, Mr. Frank Duffy, assistant S.M. at Seaford, underwent the dangerous and distressing experience of being bitten by a snake. At about 2 o’clock, Mr. Duffy had occasion to visit the wood pile, and while engaged selecting suitable fuel, received a bite from a reptile which was evidently hidden in the pile.
A sharp and sore pricking sensation was his first warning that something had happened. Mrs. Duffy, recognising the two punctures, realised that prompt action was necessary, and fixed a ligature, then made haste to the station, where Mr. Whyte lost no time in getting into touch with Dr. Hilliard Johnson.
Porter Costello, who was known to have had a large experience of snake-bite cases, and their treatment, was hastily summoned. He promptly opened up the two punctures with a razor, causing a free flow of blood. He also applied further ligatures. By this time, Dr. Johnson had arrived, having answered the call with a promptness which brought him to the house ten minutes after receiving the call.
After administering treatment. Dr. Johnson conveyed his patient to Frankston for observation. Mr. Duffy recovered sufficiently to return home that evening, and although he is off duty, he is making a good recovery.
Dr. Johnson has added to his already large store of personal regard by Seafordites, owing to his promptness.
Porter Costello met with flattering
remarks with regard to his prompt treatment, which was admitted to have done great good.
The experience was particularly distressing to Mrs. Duffy, who exhibited to the full, the splendid courage of her sex in cases of this kind, and when the wound was opened, it goes to Mrs. Duffy’s credit that she did not hesitate to suck the poison out, this greatly enhancing the chances of recovery for her very popular and highly esteemed husband.

“IT never rains but it pours,” is an old adage, and in the case of Mr. W. Macafee, of Bay street, Frankston, he would appear to be harassed with misfortune.
According to the sad story told by Mr. Macafee to a representative of “The Standard” this (Friday) afternoon, last night an urgent telephonic communication came to hand from a private hospital in Caulfield, summoning him to the bedside of his son, Leonard Falkner, 18 years of age, who had been an invalid for 12 months.
It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of Mr. Macafee’s son, who passed away at 1.30 this morning.
It is only nine months since another son of Mr. Macafee’s died; two months later his wife passed away, and a few weeks ago, he suffered an additional bereavement through the demise of his brother.
On returning to Frankston this morning, Mr. Macafee made the startling discovery that during his enforced absence, a burglary had been
perpetrated in his well-known shop, a thief or thieves having purloined goods in the way of tobacco and cigarettes to the extent of £60.
In the first instance, the member or members of the “Bill Sykes” fraternity effected an entrance at the rear of Mr. Carter’s billiard saloon, from which nothing was taken, the objective evidently being Mr. Macafee’s domain.
The police are investigating.
We sincerely sympathise with Mr. Macafee in his sad bereavement, and also in the loss sustained in a lesser degree.

MR. E. E. Saw, of Chelsea, who was injured in a motor collision on Point Nepean road last winter, and through his solicitor, instituted proceedings against Mr. Bates, of Mordialloc, for £1500 damages, has made a successful settlement, he having accepted £650 in full settlement of his claim.
Proceedings in the County Court will now be withdrawn.
Mr. Reginald Wadham, of Chelsea, has acted as solicitor for Mr. Saw and has played no small part in the successful settlement.
Residents of the district will be glad to learn of Mr. Saw’s success.

A REMARKABLE shower occurred recently on a hill overlooking Western port Bay. For several days dark, threatening clouds appeared through the foliage of the heavy timber on the hill.
The clouds took the shape of human beings with angry scrowling faces ready to tear and rend each other to
pieces.
At last they burst into a terrific storm, and to the consternation of all, it was letters and newspapers that came pelting down, instead of the usual rain and hail.
The storm had nothing to do with the Postal Department for the nearest post office was miles away.
Letters, papers and parcels were flying everywhere. One letter, in the fury of the storm, was whirled to my feet without an envelope, and for several days I was stupified by its contents. The electricity generated by this remarkable storm will probably be of use to those who can chain its power. All power in the aggregate is the same, and when separated even the power of hate, when properly controlled, can be turned to good account.

The many friends of Mrs. Tait, wife of Mr. C. Tait, of Playne street, Frankston, who last week successfully underwent an operation in a private hospital at Prahran, will be pleased to learn that she is making good progress.
Mr. W. H. Ponsford, the brilliant batsman of Test fame, visited Frankston on A.N.A. Day.
Mr. Geo. Keast, who recently returned from a great trip to Europe, visited Paris for a month, where in comparison to London, living is cheap.
He stayed for a week in Brussels, and while in the historic capital of Belgium, went out to the famous
scene of the Battle of Waterloo. He also spent a week on the battlefields of the 1914-18 conflict, making Lille his headquarters.
From there he visited Armentières, Messines and Amiens. Mr. Keast, who looks in the pink of condition, stated to a representative of “The Standard” on Monday that he had been interviewed by the Melbourne press, and said he had been badly reported.
He had dealt with the apple question – a vitally important one – but the subject had been ignored by the city dailies. A special article on the matter of apple exporting will appear in our columns at a later date.

Every beach along the foreshores was crowded on Foundation Day with eager bathers, while all available nooks and corners were filled with happy picnickers with all their paraphernalia of bulging hampers, and hundreds of motor cars of every conceivable color and make were parked for miles along the shore.
It is questionable whether such an animated scene has ever been witnessed here before. Towards evening the varying colors on land, sea and sky, continuously evolved rapidly changing combinations of amazing splendour that would have been the despair and unspeakable joy of any master painter.

PINES have narrowly beaten fellow title contenders Dromana in an epic matchup at Eric Bell Reserve.
Both sides have been locked in a battle for top spot on the ladder this season. Pines was sent in to bat first by Dromana last Saturday, and suffered a big early blow.
Pines opener Ricky Ramsdale was dismissed for a duck after just three deliveries. Dale Irving took the crucial wicket.
Nick Christides settled things down for the hosts, going on to score 61 from 63 deliveries. Number four batter Harley Peace-Stirling also impressed - he scored a half-century before Zacc Klan sent him back to the sheds.
Pines finished their 40 overs at 6/205. Dromana kept touch with their target throughout their innings thanks to a mighty effort by skipper Kierran Voelkl. He scored 95 runs from 105 deliveries, and came agonisingly close to dragging his side to victory.
Voelkl was bowled out by Billy Humphrey to take Dromana to 9/198. They kept pushing but ultimately fell just short - Dromana was bowled out for 203 with just one ball left to spare for the day.
Although he didn’t make an impact with the bat, Ricky Ramsdale redeemed himself by taking 4/37. He tore through the middle order to help get his side the points.
The result puts Pines a game clear on top of the ladder. Dromana are in third, with Langwarrin occupying second spot.
Langwarrin continued their strong season with a comfortable win over Sorrento on Saturday.
Langwarrin put 228 runs on the board at Lloyd Park against the Sharks. Opener Matt Prosser top scored with 98 not out.
Sorrento only managed to score 102 in reply. They were bowled out in 25 overs.
Jake Prosser ended the day with a five-wicket haul.
Baden Powell and Red Hill rounded out the weekend with wins over Heatherhill and Old Peninsula respectively.
A BIG knock from Jean-Luc Talbot helped Mt Eliza pick up a vital win
over Long Island last weekend.
Mt Eliza batted first at Emil Madsen Reserve. Talbot opened and went on to score 94 runs from 109 deliveriesMichael Burke dismissed him six runs short of his century.
Mt Eliza ended up scoring 199 from their 40 overs.
Long Island struggled from the start, and at 4/46 looked in massive trouble.
The middle order steadied things, but Long Island still finished all out for 152.
Moorooduc wrapped up a thrilling win over Seaford Tigers last weekend with just one ball left to spare.
Seaford Tigers set Moorooduc a target of 183 to chase down at Belvedere Reserve. After a shaky start to the run chase, Moorooduc batter Michael Whincup took the game by the scruff
of the neck.
Batting at number six, Whincup hit an unbeaten 51 from 44 deliveries. Moorooduc hit the winning runs with just one ball left to spare.
Ladder leaders Rosebud continued their winning ways with a six-wicket win over Mornington at Olympic Park on Saturday. Somerville beat Seaford comfortably at RF Miles Reserve.
BAXTER held on to beat Carrum in a thriller at Roy Dore Reserve last Saturday.
Baxter chose to bat first after winning the toss. They went on to score 184 runs from their 40 overs - Priyantha Kumara top scored with 65 from 77 deliveries.
Dylan Ridgway took four wickets to help keep his side in the hunt.
Carrum’s run chase got off to a good start, with Shaun Foster putting 72 runs on the scoreboard and number three batter Liam Hulett scoring 51. A middle order collapse cost them the game.
Carrum fell from 2/163 to 6/168.
Time ended up being the enemy, as they finished their 40 overs at 7/180. Baxter won by just four runs.
Carrum Downs smashed Crib Point last weekend, chasing down a target of 87 within just 20 overs.
Balnarring got the better of Main Ridge at home on Saturday, and Flinders bested Boneo.
TYABB’S impressive season continued last weekend with a victory over Skye.
Tyabb set Skye a target of 181 to
chase down at Skye Reserve on Saturday. Skipper Justin Bridgeman scored 43 runs and Jayden Regan scored 46.

Tyabb bowled out Skye for 148, locking up a 33 run win.
Frankston YCW took just 17 overs to chase down a target of 117 against Tootgarook on Saturday.

DAVID Stirton, Hayden Taylor, Matt Harrington, Conor Mcfall, Tristen Stass and Daniel Bancroft are some of the names that fell under the local spotlight last week.
Stirton and Taylor have joined Mornington’s coaching staff with “Stirts” assisting senior coach Adam Jamieson and “Hados” assisting reserves coach Kyle Johnson.
This is Stirton’s first foray into senior coaching ranks after a playing career that took him to A-League youth and senior NPL levels.
Recently plagued by injury the 33-year-old reluctantly stepped away from playing and has been considering taking up coaching for some time.
Jamieson rang Stirton over a week ago and discussed the position vacated by Danny Topping who has taken up a role with Melbourne City’s NPL program.
“At the end of last season ‘Jamo’ asked me if I wanted to transition into coaching and I guess we’re about to find out whether or not this if for me,” Stirton said.
“It still feels a bit weird not playing and being on this side of the fence but so far so good.
“As for my role I think I’ll be giving ‘Jamo’ my opinion on the team each week, taking some drills and offering my opinion on matchday as well.
“Obviously he’s the coach and he picks the team but I’ll have my say too.
“I think the current squad is quite strong with a few boys there that have come down from NPL ranks and I think we’ve done well to get them over the line.
“I guess now it’s a matter of getting them to gel and to do better than we did last season.”
Taylor caught everyone off-guard early last month when he reversed a previous decision and quit as head coach of Baxter.
Jamieson sounded him out late last year about joining the Seagulls and he recently agreed.
“I went to a session and had a look and here we are,” Taylor said.
“It’s a young squad – essentially a 23s development squad – and I’m looking forward to it.
“I’ve known ‘Jamo’ for a long time and I know a few of the boys down there so I thought it would be a good fit.
“I think it’ll be a good year.”
The big news at State 2 level is the return of Matt Harrington to Peninsula Strikers, the club he left after the 2019
season to join Mornington.
For the past two years the 23-yearold has been in England on a working visa and had a successful spell at Reigate Priory FC, the oldest club in Surrey.
“We were promoted (to the Southern Combination Football League) for the first time in the club’s history so it was pretty special being part of that,” Harrington said.
Now he’s back at his boyhood club and eager to contribute to Strikers’ State 1 ambition.
“I have a lot of friends at Strikers –Campbell (Steedman), Kyron (Kerr), Ethan (Goulding) – from my time at Mornington and everyone raves about the culture and the style of football there.
“I came down for a session or two when I got back and really enjoyed it and Scotty (Morrison) seemed pretty keen to have me sign so yeah.
“The club’s been pretty close to promotion in the two years I’ve been away so ideally I’d like to contribute as much as possible to fight for promotion.
“By the looks of it the squad looks fairly strong.”
In State 4 the 2025 version of Baxter’s senior squad under new boss
Billy Armour is taking shape and the club’s first new signing is 29-yearold Daniel Bancroft from State 5 club Mount Martha.
Bancroft had four seasons at Ashburton United alongside Declan Seca
“Declan’s my closest friend so when Billy rang me out of the blue and asked me to come down it was an easy decision to go there and train,” Bancroft said.
“I liked the vibe of the club straight away and they were keen to sign me.”
Bancroft bought a property in Seaford and moved here just before the pandemic and stopped playing for a few years preferring to concentrate on marathons and triathlon.
“When I heard Adam was going to play (at Mount Martha) I decided if I was going to make a comeback I may as well play with a mate and that’s why I joined Mount Martha.”
Last season was a huge personal success for Bancroft in a side that finished 10th in a 12-team league.
He won Mount Martha’s best and fairest and players’ player of the year awards.
Yet you won’t find the senior presentation night award winners listed and what they won on the club’s official Facebook page.
“I think Baxter is a good opportunity to play at a higher level where the senior men are sort of a priority to an extent whereas at Mount Martha I think they sort of focus more on the juniors–Baxter’s more like Ashburton.”
The timing of Bancroft’s switch couldn’t be better given that Baxter’s attacking linchpin Jack Elliott seems
certain to join Rosebud.
“In the first half of last year I played as a striker and scored plenty but we had a heap of injuries and I ended up playing in midfield for the first time in my life.
“I think Billy will use me up top and I’m really looking forward to that in fact I’m absolutely buzzing to get back into it.”
In State 5 news Conor Mcfall and Tristen Stass have returned to Seaford United in a major boost to the club’s promotion push.
Mcfall played as a junior at both Seaford and Skye United but it was at North Seaford Reserve that he transitioned into senior football.
His decision is a major blow to Somerville Eagles where he has been a pivotal part of the senior squad since joining during the pandemic-interrupted 2021 season.
“As much as I enjoyed being at Somerville Seaford’s always been home and where I was raised and being back at the club for pre-season really made me miss being there,” Mcfall said.
“I’d love to be part of the squad that helps get them back into State 4.
“There’s a few new faces there, players I’ve played against for years at other clubs and I’m excited to be playing with them rather than against them.
“The professionalism and organisation from the coaching staff and the club as a whole is really exciting and
it’s a breath of fresh air to be a part of that.”
Stass is a no-nonsense defender who left Seaford and had stints at Frankston Pines and Baxter in the past three seasons.
Seaford gaffer Paul “Toffee” Williams is delighted to have secured their signatures.
“It’s great to have them back at Seaford as they bring quality on and off the park and are welcome additions to the squad,” Williams said.
“Conor has football smarts and quality in that final third for goals and assists while Tristan is a rock at the back and doesn’t shy away from a tackle.”
