Mornington

A THIEF has stolen a vintage model train from a Mornington man who has spent much of his life trying to help others.

Geoff Woods, a former stonemason who now runs a scaffolding business, has a generous nature that has seen him provide employment to many local people, as well as the less fortunate, while also helping out in the community.

He’s also a life member of South Mornington Football Club, and a foundation member at Mornington Football Club.

But what happened last week has left the 64-yearold saddened and lamenting the loss of his pride and joy - an American made 80-year-old model train with a rare “four and a half inch gauge”.

“It probably happened last Tuesday night, because when I came in on Wednesday I noticed the security camera on my shed had been dismantled, and I thought ‘oh oh’ ,” he said.

“Sure enough the train was gone and I later saw scratch marks on the roof where they must have placed a ladder to dismantle the security … they certainly planned it and it seems they knew what they were after.”

Woods paid about $5000 for the metre long train about eight years ago, but says it was worth more than money.

“It’s really rare and I love it, the only hope I have is that it’s too rare to try to sell and, if they do, I’ll find out,” he said.

The train was originally a working model, but the years have not been kind to it, and it was just a showpiece in the back shed.

“I’m a bit of a collector, and someone must have known it was there,” Woods said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or Geoff Woods, 0418 591 474.

Reconciliation Week ‘opportunity’

Keith

Platt

keith@mpnews.com.au

MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being urged to join Reconciliation Week activities to learn about the shared history with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples “and explore how you can take meaningful actions to help achieve reconciliation in Australia”.

Reconciliation Week started on Monday (27 May) and ends next Monday, 3 June.

“Whatever your background or upbringing, we all have a responsibility to learn about Australia’s history and to acknowledge and value the past, present, and continuing contributions of our First Nations peoples – the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth,” the mayor Cr Simon Brooks said.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire Coun-

cil has an important role to play in promoting and celebrating Aboriginal cultural heritage. The growing recognition of the past, how community lived with country and how they were displaced is important.

“It is vital that we learn from this and heal with our Indigenous community, starting with a celebration of resilience and strength and embracing the amazing knowledge and wisdom of our First Nations people, which

is so relevant in today’s challenging materialistic world.”

Activities for the week listed in a shire news release included a (booked out) guided walk followed by a yidaki (didgeridoo) led meditation at The Briars, Mount Martha; a talk about reconciliation and treaty at Flinders; and reading library-recommended books. At Hastings, the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association said it was running Sorry Day (Sunday 26 May)

and Reconciliation Week activities. Reconciliation Week also coincides with the shire announcing Tounnin Wominjeka as the official name of the youth hub now being built at Rosebud. The shire says the name means warm welcome and was chosen after consultating the community and Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (Aboriginal name for youth hub, The News 20/2/24).

Social approach to save green wedge

Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

RESIDENTS have started a watchdog-style Facebook page focussed on “inappropriate” developments in the Mornington Peninsula’s green wedge zone.

The Peninsula Green Wedge Protest Group (PGWPG) was formed to oppose an application to build a $4.5 million Hindu temple on green wedge land in Pearcedale. That case is going to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in September.

The group, headed by Pearcedale resident Craig Gobbi, has now started a new social media campaign to highlight all inappropriate planning applications within the peninsula’s green wedge zoned areas.

“We are now being contacted by more and more people and groups that are involved in similar battles to our own. While I am very happy to help where I can, our little group hasn’t the time or man power to run another campaign. What we can do is bring all of these groups together,” he said.

“People can quickly and easily see what is happening in their area and where they can become more actively involved to help out an existing group or indeed form a new group.”

Green wedge zones are non-urban properties outside of the urban growth boundary.

“It is vital to preserve these areas for their agricultural, environmental, historical, recreational, community health and landscape value,” Gobbi said. “Once lost to shopping centres, service stations, housing estates and other largescale, inappropriate developments, they can never be replaced.”.

“Green wedge planning provisions are in place to recognise and protect these unique non-urban parcels of land. These provisions are not always enough to stop the approval of large-scale devel-

opments as planning protections are diluted, areas are rezoned, boundaries shift, and big businesses use their power and financial advantage to override objections.”

Gobbi said the group aimed to create

Eyewear As Individual As You Are

community awareness of threats to the green wedge and, through the council objection process and VCAT, prevent fragmentation of the peninsula's green areas. Details: planningapplicationwatch.org

“Using traditional owner language for the naming of the Southern Peninsula Youth Hub not only honours the past and ongoing custodianship of land in the municipality by the Bunurong people, but also serves as a beacon of inclusivity and cultural connection for our young community,” Brooks said.

The adoption of traditional owner language across the peninsula will be obvious when voters go to the polls in October to elect councillors for the next four-year term. Candidates will stand in 11 singlecouncillor wards: Brokil, Beek Beek, Benbenjie, Briars, Coolart, Kackeraboite, Moorooduc, Nepean, Tanti, Tootgarook and Warringine (New boundaries set for shire councillors, The News 24/4/24).

Meanwhile, the shire is set to release an updated Reconciliation Plan (RAP) later this year. The 36page plan now available on the shire’s website is dated 2020-2022.

“The process to develop our new RAP is underway with comprehensive consultation with traditional owner groups, local Aboriginal organisations, Aboriginal peak bodies, councillors, shire staff, and the broader community,” the shire states.

“We are committed to listening to and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including elders and young people, to ensure that our efforts directly support the needs and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.”

However, while name changes may be officially announced and added to maps, there is no way of guaranteeing their everyday use.

A Rosebud resident told The News that the $50 million Yawa Aquatic Centre, also in Rosebud, was already being referred to as “the pool” and predicted Tounnin Wominjeka would be “the youth hub”.

The Mornington Peninsula is being referred to by some people as Gorm-griya, but a more popular alternative appears to be “the ninch”.

A free Reconciliation and Treaty Talk will be held at Flinders Civic Hall 10.30am to midday on Saturday 1 June. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/treatytalk

Volunteers answer call to the cause

EVERY week, thousands of people around the Mornington Peninsula go to “work” without expecting payment, spending hours helping others by cooking, cleaning, sorting or supporting.

They are the volunteers who don’t receive a wage for their time or efforts, but who are considered priceless by those they support.

National Volunteer Week, 20-26 May, is Australia’s largest annual

celebration of volunteering. This year’s volunteer week had the theme Something for everyone.

One event at Somerville Community House provided an opportunity to highlight the important role of volunteers in communities everywhere and encourage others to ‘give it a go’.

Community house manager Kim Fitcher said communities would be worse off in terms of connection and

togetherness without volunteers who gracefully gave “the gift of time”.

“We know from research that when you give to your community it is linked to greater happiness and health that can build confidence and provides social connections to our local communities,” she said,

“Volunteers play a vital role in enhancing and expanding what’s on offer at the Somerville Community

House. We have over 40 volunteers at the house, and it wouldn’t be what it is today if it wasn’t for their input.”

The house has 11 volunteer management committee members and a host of volunteers who lead groups and step forward when help is needed.

“Like all community houses across the peninsula and Victoria we need our volunteers to lead the many activities,” Fitcher said.

The peninsula has more than 20,000 volunteers and 1000 organisations that rely on them.

From hospitals to nature reserves, repair cafes to markets, crisis food relief and meals on wheels, there are hundreds of organisations that take in volunteers.

League sounds the siren on footy games

Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

A football governing body has frozen the bank accounts of Mount Eliza Junior Football Club and suspended all the club’s games at Emil Madsen Reserve amid committee resignations and allegations of misconduct.

It is believed that the junior football club had by late last week failed to hold a special general meeting to resolve the committee problems, forcing the Frankston and District Junior Football League (FDJFL) to determine them noncompliant.

While the allegations of misconduct remain unclear, a statement released last Wednesday (22 May) from the Mount Eliza Football Netball Club (MEFNC), which shares use of the Emil Madsen Reserve and drafts 90 per cent of its players from the junior club, stated that the “enormous amounts of speculation and rumours” was causing bullying of players and adults.

“As a result, there are children who are currently not able to attend school, as they are being bullied about the rumoured allegations.

“There are people unable to work due to mental health concerns, kids are again unable to play football this weekend as games could not be relocated elsewhere and, in addition, some kids will now miss milestone games this season.”

The MEFNC offered to administer the junior football club’s games until new committee members were appointed.

It has also called for the FDJFL and the Australian Football League South East to “formally investigate” to either hold people accountable or clear their names.

The MEFNC statement read, “no one wins in these situ-

ations, and it’s unfortunately the kids, the clubs and the community that have lost here, it’s incomprehensible, and incredibly so heartbreaking”.

The MEJFC also released a statement to members and friends stating that the committee had undergone significant changes and new appointments over the past few weeks to ensure “that our kids continue to play the game they love, and without interruption”, and had contacted Consumer Affairs Victoria to ensure that all appointments to the committee were compliant with the MEJFC constitution.

“The committee is disappointed that the FDJFL has moved games away from Emil Madsen Reserve. We are seeking clarification from FDJFL about its decision. Other than the appointment of the new committee members, the committee’s position is that nothing has changed (including to MEJFC’s insurance) to necessitate MEJFC not being able to play games at its home ground. We share your frustration and hope that this can be resolved quickly.,” the statement read.

The club acknowledged that the committee was “working hard to address several critical issues such as negative cash flows in the operating activities of MEJFC, including the canteen”, and other issues related to cash handling and disbursements, credit/reward points with suppliers, and a tracking system for Square transactions to ensure transparency.

Emil Madsen Reserve is the largest sporting reserve on the Mornington Peninsula and its tenant clubs have among the largest participation bases on the peninsula. It has been home to Mount Eliza Cricket Club since 1945, and Mount Eliza Football Netball Club and Junior Football Club since 1970.

On the track to improve heart health

HIKERS of all ages and from all walks of life enjoyed the spectacular coastal scenery of Mornington Peninsula last Friday (24 May) as they took part in Coastrek in support of the Heart Foundation.

More than 2400 trekkers in various locations around the country participated in the 50km, 30km or 20km challenge to highlight the benefits of walking for heart health, while aiming to raise $800,000 in support of the Heart Foundation’s research into heart disease.

Money raised will also support the foundation’s initiatives to end rheumatic heart disease in Australia – a preventable disease that is particularly prevalent in remote First Nations communities.

Coastrek founder and CEO, Di Westaway OAM, said Coastrek was part of the solution in combating chronic disease in Australia.

“Walking for just 30 minutes a day is the easiest – and most fun – way to combat chronic illness such as heart disease, and Coastrek is so affective because it offers a daily training program in the lead up to event day that will benefit our trekkers way beyond the finish line,” she said.

Scenic parts of the peninsula included on the walk were Cape Schanck lighthouse, Sorrento beach and Point Nepean.

Coastrek events also take place this year in Sydney, the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia and Margaret River in Western Australia.

Since it was first held in 2009, Coastrek has seen 74,000 trekkers raise more than $45 million for charity, including The Fred Hollows Foundation (2009-18), Beyond Blue (2018-22) and the Heart Foundation. Visit coastrek.com.au for more information.

Warning over bin hazards

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council may consider increasing the number of waste bins at popular foreshore campsites and is reminding residents and visitors not to use them to dump household waste.

The mayor Cr Simon Brooks said anyone with concerns about an overflowing bin should report it as soon as they can, either by using the QR code on the bin, visiting the council’s website or by calling the customer service desk.

“We will then arrange for the bins to be emptied and, if it appears to be an ongoing issue, consider installing extra bins,” he said.

“Sometimes people use bins … to dump household waste, which is not what they are designed for and can fill them up too quickly.”

The call comes after bins at Camerons Bight and Chinamans Creek were photographed spilling out rubbish and creating a health and nuisance issue.

Brooks said the bins at the car park next to the beach were emptied once a week during the off season.

Club to help young people ‘grow’

WHEN Blairgowrie woman Pippa McPherson became a new mum six years ago, the lack of training and job opportunities for young people on the Mornington Peninsula became much more of a reality for her family.

But instead of expecting someone else to fix it, McPherson has taken steps to make a difference and is calling for volunteers to help her achieve her goals.

While studying for her Bachelor of Counselling, McPherson is completing her work placement with the Rye Community House and has started a gardening club for young people that will hopefully lead to a mentoring program.

“As a mum, I want there to be opportunities for young people without having to leave the peninsula. As I love horticulture, the idea is youth mentoring within a therapeutic horticulture environment,” she said.

“We have been given a garden bed at the Rye Play and Grow Community garden to use and we will also do other plant activities at the house.

“I want to help combat social anxiety and give

our young people a safe place to unwind and talk about any issues they may be facing at school or in their personal life.”

It would be once a week, date and times to be confirmed, but most likely an after-school role.

McPherson said she noticed there wasn’t much in the way of training or mentoring for young people in the southern end of the peninsula and knew that working with plants was therapeutic and a good way to get them into a healthy environment.

“They don’t have to be passionate about gardening or plants, it’s just about learning and being part of something,” she said.

“We will be planting, propagating and learning about plants and where our food comes from, plus they will all get a plant to take home and care for.”

Volunteers wanting to be involved in working with the garden club will require a working with children check and a police check. Email reception@ryech.org for an application form.

Families fight expulsions

THE families of two boys are fighting their expulsion from Peninsula Grammar for allegedly hacking into a computer at an unnamed Mornington Peninsula gym and logging into a porn site to film the receptionist’s reaction.

The year 10 students are being asked to leave the school, but the families say they have been denied procedural fairness.

The school has told parents that the incident, which took place on 12 April, should not be excused, with many in the community agreeing.

Meanwhile, the board of Peninsula Grammar has appointed Leendra Turner to replace Stuart Johnston.

Turner, a 30-year teaching veteran, is the school’s fifth principal and only the second female principal within the nine Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria (AGSV) inde-

Road sealing fail

AN attempt to seal Hopetoun Avenue, Mount Martha has failed after a notice of motion by Cr Despi O’Connor was pulled at the last minute before the opening of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 14 May public meeting. Although it was not formally addressed there were concerns about the motion.

O’Connor had flagged an intent to move a motion seeking a report on “increased traffic”, allegedly a renewed push to seal the road outside of the normal shire consideration process.

Costs would have been met through a special charge scheme paid for by local residents. A similar scheme failed in 2007 with 49 per cent of submissions being against the proposal, which was abandoned.

The cost to a single Hopetoun Avenue property would have been more than $50,000.

Cr Anthony Marsh told The News it was a “money grab”, and the sealing would only make

pendent schools.

Johnston, who announced his retirement last year, had been principal at Peninsula Grammar since January 2012. Before that he was principal at South School, Trinity College, in Adelaide for six years.

The board at peninsula vetted applications from across Australia.

Turner began her teaching career at Caulfield Grammar where she became head of the senior school.

She then served as deputy principal and head of senior school at Firbank Grammar, Brighton.

The board described her as having “significant acting principal experience in schools that emphasised wholistic education across sport, music, and academic achievement”.

Water quality ‘poor’

BEACH users were still being advised not to swim at Mills Beach last Friday (24 May) after a sewer spill in Tanti Avenue caused an overflow into Tanti Creek on 17 May, which flows across the beach.

A sewer pipe connected to a pumping station in the area failed and caused the spill.

“We’re sorry for the mess and any potential smells,” a spokesperson for South East Water said.

Environment Protection Agency crews have been testing the water, but its status was remained “poor” on Friday. Advisory signs along the creek and at the beach will remain until water quality improves.

People and their pets are being advised not to use or handle the water in Tanti Creek and at Mills Beach.

Renovation addicts are elated this homegrown, heritageloving series is back to enthrall with its transformations. Unlike Grand Designs where enthused folk build a hodgepodge of new homes, this series follows the painstaking adventure of rescuing decrepit buildings that otherwise faced a grim future. Passionate architect Anthony Burke (pictured far left) is the voice of reason as he follows some of the most expensive, engrossing and testing projects yet in this show’s six-season history.

Coming off the back of 12 sold-out matches and with the Olympics just around the corner, this friendly against China is set to get the adrenaline pumping for soccer fans new and old. The Matildas will be looking to assert their dominance against the reigning AFC Women’s Asian Cup champions as they prepare for Olympic glory.

SUNDAY DREAM HOME SEVEN, 7pm

He began his TV career as a handsome young presenter on Harry’s Practice, followed by the low-budget but ultra-charming Bondi Vet. Now, Dr Chris Brown (pictured) is a bona fide TV host with not a furry friend in sight. After exiting as co-host of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! he has joined the crowded home reno genre. Among the familiarly frenetic pace of tradies and cost blow-outs, Brown sympathetically follows six pairs of Aussies who are renovating each other’s homes, vying for a backyard update and the ultimate winner’s cash prize. It’s a familiar formula: Brown might need his animal instincts to fight off viewers’ reno fatigue.

Shire officers’ reports lack ‘depth and quality’

Congratulations Cr Anthony Marsh for having the intestinal fortitude to publicly record the honest assessment as to the quality and effectiveness of management reports that are provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire officers to enable councillors to make informed decisions (Potter review takes centre stage, The News 21/5/24).

I, like many other observers of the shire’s operational activities, have over the past three to four years noticed a marked reduction in the depth of analysis and quality of advice contained in management reports.

It appears to my observation that the shire’s management consider their elected officials as no more than a “flick and tick committee”, where comment and questions are not sought nor welcomed.

I have seen firsthand at a council meeting where the body language of a senior shire officer was blatantly contemptuous while Cr David Gill was posing a question in respect of the officer’s portfolio responsibilities.

The Briars issue is a classic example of shire officers treating councillors with little respect.

Is it actually the core business of shire officers to negotiate contracts with the private sector for the use of shire property/assets and then present the result as a “done deal” to councillors (subject to them signing a non-disclosure agreement)?

Blind Freddie could see what the community’s reaction to the intended outcome would have been with zero consultation.

But, by their very actions, all that the shire officers did was to effectively “throw all councillors under the bus” - hardly a respectful course of action.

I trust that Cr Marsh will use the balance of this council term to garner sufficient support from his fellow councillors to get the presentation of management information standards back to the level that they used to be.

Stuart Allen, Dromana

Controlling council

Why is it necessary for councillors to sign nondisclosure agreements before fully understanding the documents (Potter review takes centre stage, The News 21/5/24)?

Who is responsible for directing the council? The CEO seems to wield significant power to the extent this creates the impression that no decisions can be made without such approval, which is authoritarian.

The CEO must be involved in ensuring good governance for councillors and staff. However, granting the CEO and other council officers unchecked power is risky.

While it is important to consider and heed recommendations from council officers, the final decisions should always rest with the councillors. This may be uncomfortable for some, but leaving meetings early due to undisclosed matters beforehand is concerning.

Anne Kruger, Rye

Potter sounds ‘spooky’

The Harry Potter show [at The Briars, Mount Martha] has now been extended into midJuly. Again, no consultation from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council with the community, especially neighbours who have endured the “spooky” noises of “scary creatures” penetrating their homes on a nightly basis for months.

Can we assume big money is coming our way from multinational Warner Brothers in the clever deal sealed by the CEO and council officers?

The CEO and mayor promised transparency on this issue. What is the cost to ratepayers for hosting the event at The Briars?

Ann Scally

, Mount Martha

Election anticipation

This year’s council election cannot come around soon enough. The absolute disregard for wildlife, the environment, and the community some councillors (not all) have shown in recent times has been appalling. The Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event at The Briars is, of course, what I am referring to. Words like debacle and fiasco have been oft used — and rightly so — to describe this mess of an event.

We seem to have councillors who are either more interested in photo opportunities, abusing the community on social media, deflecting by talking about their work in other areas, or delivering quotes from American politicians.

During the meeting earlier this year where councillors voted to move the event out of the fenced in wildlife sanctuary a group of us had a chat going. Someone wryly commented: “What is this? The Academy Awards?”

These grandstanding councillors need a reality check. Let’s hope this year’s election delivers this and we vote the tone-deaf ones out.

Fingers crossed for a more compassionate and measured council after the elections. Considering certain councillors in the current cohort, that shouldn’t be hard.

Katrina Larsen, Red Hill

Spending’s ‘hard choices’

I wish to thank Mount Martha Golf Club for the ongoing discussion about prioritising spending and best value for money in the focus by Mornington peninsula Shire Council on community building, through services and facilities, within budget constraints.

Council supports grassroots sports as, without facilities supported by ratepayers, we would not have these sports for our children now and into their adulthood.

I am not implying that there is a privileged golf group as recently stated by a leading member of the club in this paper (Public golf course is there for all to use, Letters 21/4/24). I am looking at the hard choices that council makes to prioritise the spending of your money, especially in a time of high inflation, cost-shifting onto council, cost of living pressures and the need for

serious cost cutting in shire budgets. Can we afford two shire golf courses when there are many others on the peninsula?

One of the shire’s courses is outsourced and not a burden on ratepayers, the other costs ratepayers a lot of money, as I have shown.

It is possible to keep Mount Martha Golf Course, but I believe real change is needed (Market call to end golf losses, The News 7/5/24). I welcome further feedback.

David Gill, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Red Hill Ward

Renewables cheapest

Thank you to [MP for Eastern Victoria] Tom McIntosh for his sensible and balanced insights into nuclear power (Libs double down on nuclear option, The News, 21/5/24).

The recent GenCost report from the CSIRO and the Australian Energy Market Operator made it clear that nuclear power is the most expensive energy for Australia and would not be available for at least 15 years. That is time and money we don’t have. Renewable energy is cheapest and most abundant in this country. We need leaders to keep championing solar, wind and battery storage for a cleaner energy future.

Handy bar help

Amy Hiller, Kew

Peninsula Transport Assist (PTA), a not-forprofit organisation, received a Dunkley Volunteer Grant which included $900 to spend on 20 handy bars which will assist clients who have difficulty exiting cars. PTA’s team of 60 volunteer drivers from Mornington Peninsula Shire and the City of Frankston often drive people with limited mobility.

On receipt of the $900 a PTA board member approached Coastcare Medical Equipment, Mornington and asked if a “better deal” could be done in the hope we might get a couple more handy bars for our $900. The Coastcare boss was phoned, and the answer came back that we could have 30 for that money. What a pleasant surprise, as we thought we might get one or two extra, but we got 10.

PTA is extremely grateful for this generosity, and we’re sure our clients will be too when they find it easier to exit the volunteer driver’s vehicle.

Clare Harwood, volunteer driver liaison, Peninsula Transport Assist

Protest peacefully

Australian servicemen served in Afghanistan and there was very little or no reporting on their involvement in the war which lasted some 17 years.

Yet the attack by Hamas and retaliation by Israel is a daily blow by blow event in the Melbourne media.

This conflict has divided Australians and has led to protests and public disorder.

The only real focus on our troops in Afghanistan was when they returned and mainly the Australian Broadcasting Corporation focused on alleged war crimes which adversely affects military personnel serving and returned servicemen. Protests have come to Frankston as seen last week when environmentalists protested outside [Dunkley MP] Jodie Belyea’s offices in the Frankston CBD.

Protests are part of democracies such as Australia but must be peaceful if they are going to get Australians supporting their cause.

Russell Morse, Karingal

Not night owls: Tawny frogmouths share a love of eating out at night with owls at the wildlife sanctuary at The Briars, Mount Martha, which was originally chosen as the site for staging Harry Potter: The Forbidden Forest. Unprecedented protests saw the show moved up the hill on the same property, which was good for the sanctuary’s inhabitants but remains a problem for some neighbours. Picture: Gary Sissons

Council Elections – Mr. Pratt’s Candidature

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

THE announcement made in last Friday’s “Standard” that Mr. J. L. Pratt had acceded to the request of about sixty ratepayers urging him to stand for the seat in the Frankston riding, which will become vacant in August next, owing the decision of Cr. Mason to retire from municipal life, has caused general satisfaction throughout the district.

He has been besieged with offers of support, many of the ratepayers expressing regret that they had not been afforded an opportunity of signing his requisition.

It is pleasing to know that a business man of Mr. Pratt’s calibre is prepared to devote time to council affairs.

As president of the Frankston branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A., Mr. Pratt has been largely instrumental in building up that organisation until it is now one of the most prosperous country branches in the State.

A certain section of the community profess to feel concerned as to Mr. Pratt’s state of health. References made in this connection are, no doubt, designed to imply that Mr. Pratt is not physically fitted for the position.

The best evidence for the guidance of ratepayers on this point is supplied by Dr. Maxwell, Mr. Pratt’s medical adviser, who states that Mr. Pratt is a fit man, and never in better health than at present.

Dr. Maxwell has signed Mr. Pratt’s requisition, and is prepared to support him in his candidature.

During the next couple of months Mr. Pratt’s activities will afford

convincing proof to “doubting Thomases” as to his physical fitness, and prompt an effective answer to the section who are “willing to wound, yet afraid to strike.”

***

A Wrong Righted

Word was received from Melbourne today that Mr. L. J. Ward has been appointed a member of the Frankston High School Committee, with authority to take his seat at the first meeting of the board, to be held at Frankston tonight.

The great majority of people will be gratified to learn that “The Standard’s” contention that Mr. Ward’s claims should receive instant recognition, has been upheld by the authorities.

Accident Narrowly Averted

What might have proved to be a very serious accident was narrowly averted on Saturday last.

It appears that a young cyclist was riding round the Frankston park during the half time interval, and when passing along the south side of the park behind the pine trees, he sought to gain the asphalt track and made to do so.

However, as there is a thin fencing wire stretched between the posts in place of the old wire cable, he failed to see it and collided with it, but, fortunately for him he struck it a slanting blow and glancing off collided with a pine tree.

No harm appears to have happened to him, as he had slowed down before making for the track, and getting off his bike he wheeled it away. ***

MR. Fred Barclay, a well-known orchardist and motor carrier, is just about taking delivery of a new Itala motor lorry of two tons capacity, the carrying trade having outgrown the services of the Ford ton-truck, hence the new purchase.

There is every indication that more of this type and make of truck will be installed.

***

MR. A. B. Morris, of Playne Street, Frankston, left for Melbourne on Monday, where he is to undergo a somewhat serious operation.

His many friends in the district will wish him a successful operation and a speedy return to health.

***

WE are pleased to be able to report that Mr. Hay (senr.), who recently underwent an operation in Melbourne, is doing as well as can be expected, and hopes are entertained that he will be able to return home at an early date.

***

THE numerous friends of Mr. A. H. Gregory, of “Malunnah,” Melbourne Road, Frankston, will be sorry to know that he is at present confined to his home, suffering from a severe attack of influenza.

Mr. Gregory departed on his usual weekly trip at the end of the week, and had got well along the line when he had to return home. He has the best wishes of all who know him for a speedy recovery.

***

THE many friends of Mr. C. Lawrey, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston, will be pleased to hear that he is making good progress towards recovery. It is not only thought that the eye

may now be, saved, but hopes are entertained that the sight may also be restored.

Should such be the case a feeling of thankfulness will be felt by all who know him.

***

THE friends of Mrs. C. Gray, of William street, Frankston, will be sorry to hear that she has been suffering from another attack of neuritis for some days. However, she is now somewhat improved.

It is hoped that this improvement will, continue until quite well again.

***

THE many friends of Mrs. Parker, of “Duntroon,” Frankston, will regret to hear that she has been seriously indisposed, having been confined to her home for some days.

However, she is now very much improved and hopes soon to be about again.

***

MR. G. Heep, who has been employed at building the Bay View Hotel had the misfortune to run a nail into the ball of his foot, necessitating medical attention from Dr. Maxwell.

***

MR Cliff Coulson, of Karr Street, Frankston, who was injured in a football match a few weeks’ back, is still on the sick list; being prevented from going to business owing to his injury. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery.

***

MR. and Mrs. James Peebles, of Frankston, who are enjoying a few months holiday in the Western district, will be returning to Frankston in a few weeks time to again take up

their permanent residence here.

***

THE friends of our popular stationmaster, Mr. Lalor, will be pleased to learn that Mrs. Lalor yesterday presented him with another little assistant S.M. Mrs. Lalor, who is at St. Aiden’s private hospital, St. Kilda, is, with her son, reported to be doing well.

***

A MOST successful and enjoyable function was held last night at the residence of Senior-Constable Cullane, Melbourne Road, Frankston.

This had been organised by Frankston’s younger set, under the supervision of Mrs. Harry Golds and Miss I. G. Jones, and was held to do honour to the worthy SeniorConstable, Mrs. Cullane and their two daughters.

About 30 young people arrived at about 8 o’clock, and very soon everything was going as merry as a marriage bell.

Games and dancing were indulged in, musical, vocal and elocutionary items being rendered by various members of the party until 11 o’clock, when the party sat down to a sumptuous repast.

This proved to be one of the best items on the improvised programme, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

After supper further games and dances were held, the happy party dispersing at an early hour in the morning, everyone declaring that they had spent one of the best evenings of their lives.

Marion’s show, along with our wonderful retail shop, will be open to the public while we install our winter exhibitions

Our forthcoming winter exhibition program launches in late June with two fantastic MPRG curatorial projects, News From Nowhere: Lisa Walker and Brendan Huntley curated by Dunja Rmandić, and a collectionbased show Both Body & Not curated by Leah Ferguson.

Congratulations to the finalists selected in this year’s National Works on Paper (NWOP) prize. From over 1000 entries, 70 works have been selected in what promises to be a real highlight of the year’s program, launching in spring. We are delighted to have four local Mornington Peninsula artists selected in the 2024 NWOP.

Kangaroos claim an upset win, Rosebud pick up points

MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

MEN'S DIV ONE

ROSEBUD picked up an important win last weekend over Red Hill.

Rosebud has had a tough start to season 2024, spending the year near the bottom of the ladder. A win at Red Hill Recreation Reserve on Saturday would put them a game ahead of their rivals at the tail-end.

It was a dominant first half for Rosebud. They scored ten goals to four to take a comfortable lead into the half-time break.

Red Hill mounted a comeback in the second half. They managed to hold Rosebud goalless in the final term, but couldn’t quite do enough to beat them.

Rosebud held on to win 11.8 (74) to 13.7 (85). William Hartung, Blake Kuipers, Stephen Cumming, Matthew Cumming, and Jake Carosella were

their best.

Dromana cemented their spot on top of the ladder with a thumping win over Mornington.

The 20.15 (135) to 8.10 (58) result left Dromana atop the ladder, and Mornington in last place.

Mt Eliza kept hold of second place by easily defeating Frankston Bombers last weekend. The Redlegs won by ten goals, but remain a game behind the ladder-leading Tigers.

Langwarrin picked up a big upset win over Frankston YCW away from home last weekend. A six-goal haul from Matthew Peynenborg helped the Kangaroos win 6.8 (44) to 14.11 (95).

Pines beat Sorrento by 27 points to round out the winners list.

MEN'S DIV TWO

DEVON Meadows picked up a huge win on Saturday in a top-of-the-ladder clash with Chelsea.

The winner of Saturday’s match would finish the round on top of the table. Devon Meadows impressed from the outset, and rushed out to an early 20-point lead.

Devon Meadows kept the pressure on and stretched their lead to 40 points by half-time. Chelsea were never able to recover.

Devon Meadows went on to win by 53 points 15.10 (100) to 6.11 (47).

Nick Battle, Joel Hillis, Jack Wilson, Riley Simmons, and Ty Kirkwood were the Panthers’ best. Patrick Harmes and Bailey Phillips each kicked three goals.

Devon Meadows and Chelsea have each picked up 28 points this season. Edithvale-Aspendale sits third place, also with 28 points, after a big win over Hastings. Edi-Asp thumped the

winless Hastings 7.11 (53) to 16.15 (111) on Saturday.

Karingal beat Tyabb in a thriller at home last weekend.

The Bulls and the Yabbies were neck-and-neck all day - the lead at each break was never more than a goal. Karingal took a five-point advantage into the final term, and managed to hold on to win.

The Bulls bested Tyabb 10.16 (76) to 10.10 (70). Edward Banks was named Karingal’s best, and Andrew Dean scored three goals.

Bonbeach were narrow 11-points victors over Rye last weekend. Crib Point comfortably beat Pearcedale, and Seaford beat Somerville by 23 points in the final game of the round.

WOMEN'S DIV ONE

MORNINGTON returned to their winning ways against Frankston last weekend.

Mornington Blue succumbed to their first defeat of the 2024 season against Warragul Industries in round seven. They took on Frankston at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday, and made amends.

After a tight first quarter, a threegoals-to-zero second quarter put the game beyond Frankston’s reach. Mornington Blue ran away with it 2.4 (16) to 7.10 (52). Jaime Davis, Ashley Jans, Mia Johnson, Elizabeth Muir, and Jessica Stepanavicius were named their best. Lucy Grocock booted three goals and Hayley Monk scored two.

Karingal were winners over Mornington White on Saturday. The Bulls led all day long, eventually claiming a 5.10 (40) to 3.5 (23) win.

Skye United stuns league leader

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

SKYE United pulled off the shock of the State 2 South-East season when it toppled ladder leader Hampton East Brighton 2-0 at Dendy Park on Saturday.

Skye went in to this clash as a pronounced underdog against an unbeaten opponent boasting seven straight wins, five clean sheets and scoring the most goals in the league.

In stark contrast Skye had the most losses and goals against in State 2 and was third-last on the table.

But the locals were boosted last week by the much-needed return of defender Brett Heskins and head coach Phil McGuinness elected to go with a more experienced forward line giving first starts of the season to Daniel Attard and Mitch Blake. And it didn’t take long for that decision to be vindicated.

Just four minutes in Attard’s cross found Blake whose bullet header gave Hampton East goalkeeper Bernard Paris no chance.

Skye created the better chances for the remainder of the half without converting and in the 38th minute former Skye player Delfin Mosibe Esara was given his marching orders for a late challenge sending the hosts into the main break with 10 men and a 1-0 deficit.

In the second half Skye faced a Hampton East onslaught but defended resolutely and applied the killer blow in the second minute of added time when two Skye youngsters combined.

Substitute Austin Sporys looped a ball over the home team defence to fellow sub George Jeffs and his volley sparked celebrations among the Skye faithful.

This Friday night Skye plays host to Greater Dandenong.

The match is Skye’s annual John Ramsden Memorial round commemorating its 23-year-old former player who died in a car accident in May 2010. Both clubs will observe a minute’s silence in honour of John Ramsden in both the seniors and reserves fixtures.

Thanks to Skye’s remarkable performance last weekend State 2 local rival Peninsula Strikers has drawn to within a point of the ladder leader after Friday night’s 3-1 away win over Doncaster Rovers. This was an eventful and sometimes fiery contest on a poor pitch.

Just 12 minutes had elapsed when Doncaster’s Luca Perna was red carded for a tackle on Riley Anderton.

But the home side lifted and made Strikers work hard.

Doncaster was awarded a penalty in the 34th minute after a cheap turnover saw the ball played through for Stefan Cardamone who went to ground from a challenge by Andy McIntyre.

Cardamone scored from the spot.

In the 40th minute Doncaster coach Damian Pagotto was sent off following a verbal exchange with referee Makis Loukeris and right on half-time the home side was reduced to nine men after Daniel Piazza’s late challenge on Jamie Davidson.

It was one-way traffic in the second half and in the 71st minute a superb Steve Elliott pass set up Andrew Goff who smashed the ball into the net.

The go-ahead goal came 11 minutes later when Jaiden Madaferri found Anderton at the front post and the Kiwi striker hooked his first-time volley off the post and in.

The final goal came in the 94th minute when McIntyre put Campbell Steedman through and he squared the ball to Noah Musso who made no mistake.

In VPL1 news Langwarrin lost 2-1 away to Eastern Lions on Saturday.

The visitors created three good chances in the first 10 minutes but failed to capitalise and paid the penalty in the 18th minute when Jack Pope put the home side ahead after a quick breakaway.

Eastern Lions extended their lead with a 73rd minute penalty converted by Omani Leacock and Langy striker Archie Macphee hit back with his penalty conversion in the 89th minute.

Conjecture mounts as to whether Langwarrin striker James Kelly is on the move.

It’s understood that Kelly has been made offers by a number of clubs.

In State 1 news Mornington won 1-0 at home on Saturday against Brandon Park in a solid defensive performance.

Shaun Kenny got the only goal of the game in the 30th minute when Ryan Paczkowski’s corner and a deflected header allowed the Seagulls’ midfielder to hammer home the loose ball.

Mornington recently parted company with one of its senior assistants when Chris Caponi resigned citing work commitments as the trigger for his decision.

Caponi coached at Preston Lions before joining Mornington this year.

The Seagulls announced last week that former senior assistant Nathan Peel is their new junior NPL technical director.

Peel played professionally with Burnley and Preston North End in England and has worked in Victoria as a development coach and senior assistant at both State League and NPL levels.

In State 3 Frankston Pines earned their first point of the season in a 2-2 away draw with fellow struggler White Star Dandenong on Friday night.

Pines’ scorers were Sharmeit Sharma and Cassius Delaney.

Pines’ vice-president Nathalie Maira was named last week by Football Victoria as one of its top volunteers.

Maira’s recognition was part of the state federation’s acknowledgement of National Volunteer Week highlighting the contributions individuals make to various causes.

In State 4 Chelsea triumphed 3-1 in Saturday’s derby showdown with Somerville Eagles at Westernport Secondary College.

Chelsea’s scorers were Daniel Lewis, Jarrah Clear and James Stinson while Tom Simmons replied for Somerville.

Mentone got back to winning ways with a 4-0 victory over hosts Brighton at Dendy Park on Saturday.

Peter Varsamis put the visitors in front after 25 minutes, expertly controlling a Dean Gerszonovicz cross to finish past Brighton keeper Ishaq Lakhdari.

In the 36th minute Mentone keeper Quinn Carter made a stunning point-blank save turning Michael Fava’s low shot over the bar.

Mentone has struggled to find the net this season and passed up numerous chances to extend its lead before Adam Leander struck in the 77th minute.

His run beyond the Brighton defence was rewarded by Marcus Spivey’s pass with Leander’s left-foot finish giving Fava no chance.

Spivey got his goal and Mentone’s third on 85 minutes bundling the ball home after good work by Luka Varga and Tyler Pollard.

Gerszonovicz completed the scoring in the 88th minute with a low finish from Pollard’s cross.

Baxter blew its chance of making ground on promotion-chasing Hampton Park United when going down 3-1 at Baxter Park on Saturday.

Baxter’s Jarrod Nardino was the busier of the keepers in the first half with some fine saves and the sides went in scoreless at half-time.

Two minutes into the second period Nardino made the save of the match to deny league top scorer Naseem Rasekh with a wonderful one-handed reaction to block the goal ace from point-blank range.

But that only prolonged the inevitable.

In the 51st minute a poorly constructed defensive wall was exploited by Hampton Park’s Sasha Sgarbossa whose low free-kick found the far corner with Nardino helpless.

Eight minutes later it was 2-0 after Hampton Park substitute Mostaf Matin skipped clear on the left then sent a low cross that set up Alisina Hussaini for a tap-in at the far post.

Baxter substitute Nat Daher had the best chance of bringing the home side back into the contest but he shot wide from 10 metres in the 83rd minute and although Daniel Taylor converted the penalty awarded after substitute Dylan Murchie was felled in the 88th minute it was too little too late.

The visitors celebrated a hard-fought and deserved win with Ehab Hilal’s injury-time goal following a poor Nardino clearance.

Baxter signed Dean Panayiotou late last week.

He was training with Skye United, Casey Comets and Boroondara-Carey Eagles and is a former Old Scotch, Gippsland United and Frankston Pines player who can play at the back or in midfield.

In State 5 the big news centred on Cleeland United’s decision to forfeit both its senior and reserves home games against Rosebud on Friday night.

FV has awarded Rosebud mandatory 3-0 walkovers but that disadvantages head coach Stuart Johnston’s championship-chasing outfit.

Cleeland already has lost 13-0 to Aspendale and 10-0 to Seaford United this season so an opportunity to seriously impact its goal difference in what shapes as a tight title race has been denied the Olympic Park outfit.

“The fact that Cleeland has been unable to field a single team for me is difficult to comprehend,” Johnston said.

“I can understand forfeiting the reserve game if need be but to not be able to find 11 senior players for a home game is unusual at best.

“It strikes me as very unfair should any success this season be decided by goal difference.

“We have chatted with FV and they are due to come back to us and for now that’s all we can do.”

On a brighter note last week Johnston was another local to be recognised by FV during National Volunteer Week which ran from 20 to 26 May.

Rosebud retains top spot in the league and the two teams in close pursuit – Seaford United and

FC Noble Hurricanes – drew 1-1 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday.

Seaford struck first when Blake Hicks sent Naseer Mohammad down the wing and he cut inside before slotting the ball past Hurricanes keeper Elvis Alimosvki in the 30th minute.

The second half was a fiery affair with both teams missing chances until the final minute of normal time.

A long ball into the box was parried into Matthew Mao by Seaford keeper Alfonso Cardinale and the rebound bounced into the net.

Moments later Cardinale was shown a second yellow card after a verbal altercation with the visitors’ bench.

Seaford had made all its substitutions so Paul Aitchison took over in goal.

Seaford pushed for a winner and a Sam Luxford header from a corner was just wide shortly before the final whistle blew.

Aspendale won Saturday’s home game against Bunyip District 2-1 and sits fourth in the league.

The opening goal came in the ninth minute when Matthew Bruce broke free in the box to squeeze the ball past Bunyip keeper Jake Biondo.

The visitors equalised in the 20th minute with a fierce shot from Liam Jones from just outside the box after Aspendale failed to deal with a cross and the teams were locked at 1-1 at half-time.

The winner came from James Macnab in the 52nd minute whose curling free-kick into the bottom far corner of goal gave Biondo little chance.

Mount Eliza continues to show promising signs of finishing in the top half of the table with a 2-0 away win over Casey Panthers last weekend.

Michael Clark and Mujtaba Sakhi scored.

Mount Martha lost Saturday’s home game 1-0 to Endeavour Hills Fire in a clash highlighted by five players sent off and 12 cautioned.
