Keith Platt MARIANNE Dalton waited 11 months before the in-home help arrived that a doctor said she was eligible to receive. But the hours were well short of the amount supposed to be provided.
Home care ‘lost in the queue’
The doctor filled out the request for two hours of home help a fortnight in June last year but, after hear ing nothing by October, Dalton called the appointed provider mecwacare only to be told that her paperwork had not been misplaced but “I was in a queue, they didn’t have enough staff and COVID meant existing staff were often sick or isolating”. Christmas came and went and in January she again made contact. “I told them that to leave people in various levels of stress and distress with not one word makes it obvious their advertising about caring for clients is complete nonsense and not true.” The company said everyone on their waiting list had been contacted by letter. Dalton did not receive a letter. “In May, I was to have major surgery, and this was now a crucial issue,” she said. “Since then, a staff member was here on 9 May for 1.5 hours; 27 June, one hour; 12 July, one hour, and I am still waiting for the next“Fortnightlyvisit. help for two hours is nothing but a dream.“Inmy experience mecwacare don’t communicate or care at all about commitments they make, and the shire is completely negligent in allowing the situation to continue.”

LESS than two months after seeing its in-home care responsibilities for more than 3500 people taken over by two private companies, Mornington Pen insula Shire Council wants the federal government to “give assurances” that the new system is working The move to outsource the services was made by the previous Liberal National Party government, but the changeover was made six weeks after the election of the Labor federal government. Since the shire handed over its responsibilities, the two companies signed up for the peninsula have ad mitted staff shortages have left some clients without help. Last week councillors voted to seek “assurances” from the federal govern ment that “residents transitioned to the new providers are not left without vital services and associated care during the changeover period and into the future”. The move followed widespread complaints about promised in-home care being delayed or not eventuating. Public health researcher Dr Sarah Russell believes there could be grounds for a class action against the shire because “it should have contin ued to provide care until it was as sured older residents' needs were met. Instead, some older people have been left without services for six weeks”. "In the interests of transparency and accountability, the council staff's re cent report on aged care services must be made public,” Russell said. When unanimously adopting the move to seek assurances from the federal government at their meeting on Tuesday 9 August, councillors effusively praised shire staff for their work leading up to the transition. Cr Steve Holland was “really disap pointed” by the public response to the changeover. “A lot of it is drummed up by activists that clearly have an axe to grind. Why they direct their anger towards the shire, I really don’t know.” Holland said the shire had “done as best we could” to manage the transfer “which was always going to happen”. The council now needed to ensure residents received “the level of care that meets community expectations”.

‘Assurance’ sought over in-home care
“It’s about ensuring there is a review into why the federal government has utterly bungled this transfer,” Holland said. He said the new providers had been chosen by the federal govern ment “we didn’t get a say in that”. “We sought and were given assur ances by the providers and govern ment that all essential services would continue to be delivered by 1 July. Obviously, that hasn’t happened for a myriad reasons; probably because the federal government and bureaucracy at federal level was not prepared to handle the transition.” Holland said an offer by council to retain some staff “was rejected”. About 100 shire employees were made redundant as as a result of the change. Continued Page

MARIANNE Dalton, of Balnarring, was “placed in a queue” after a doctor said she required the type of in-home help previously provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The shire has handed over its responsibilities for the type of service Dalton was eligible to receive to two commercial providers chosen by the federal government.
The number of households with rooftop solar increased by 15% in United Energy’s network last year, with over 103,000 customers now having solar. A further 4,100 rooftop solar systems have been added to homes in the first five months of 2022. Rooftop solar capacity in the United Energy network now exceeds 550MW - more than Victoria’s largest gas-fired power generator. Rooftop solar systems can create challenges for networks as they can push up voltage levels in the system. Similar to how water flows downhill, electricity flows from high voltage to low voltage. To enable solar panels to send excess power to other parts of the network, a solar system’s inverter needs to raise the voltage slightly to allow the electricity to flow out. Networks like United Energy are required to deliver electricity to homes and businesses within a range of 216 and 253 volts. If voltage is too high, customers may use more power than necessary, and potentially damage some appliances. If voltage is too low, customers may experience flickering lights and generally poor power quality. “Our network is a critical gateway to Victoria’s energy future and managing rooftop solar and the impacts they can have on voltage levels is part of what we do every day,” Mr Clarke said. “Whether it’s through upgrading our network or using smart technology to dynamically raise and lower voltages in real time across our network, we are optimally placed to continue supporting Victoria’s growth in consumer
General Manager Electricity Networks, Mark Clarke said the upgrade program was an example of how United Energy was proactively supporting customers to get the most out of their solar as part of the network’s role as a distribution system operator (DSO). “We’re seeing solar grow in popularity and with electricity costs continuing to rise, more households will be looking at ways to take control of their bills by investing in rooftop systems,” Mr Clarke said. “This work is about making sure our network is supporting our customers now and into the future invest in clean energy technology that will reduce carbon emissions.”
Thinking of solar?
Major investment in electricity network
Investment in the electricity network will support more solar exports across Melbourne’s south-east and Mornington Peninsula energy resources such as solar.” In addition to the program, United Energy recently launched a new pre-approval tool for rooftop solar and home battery installations, ensuring the local network in each area can support customers to make the most of their new system. The pre-approval system assists in maintaining voltage compliance within each neighbourhood, ensuring solar exports are fairly and equitably available to all customers while reducing solar system outages and improving power quality. United Energy is further supporting solar installations by rolling out 40 innovative pole-top batteries in an Australia-first, with each battery capable of soaking up solar during the day and supporting entire neighbourhoods during peak times. More information can be found at technologiesresidential/solar-and-other-unitedenergy.com.au/
MORE rooftop solar power will be able to be shared between homes and businesses as part of United Energy’s major investment in its lowvoltage electricity network across Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula. The program will support the rise in rooftop solar installations by improving voltages and increasing the hosting capacity across the network to allow more solar to be exported back into the grid.
WHAT’S NEW...
Crews will complete over 500 individual items of work across 85 post codes, providing benefits for more than 40,000 homes and businesses The work is critical to maintaining voltage levels on the network through Victoria’s clean energy transition.

Even with the addition of Rosebud Primary’ School’s new indoor court, White says the numbers mean there still won’t be enough venues to ac commodate additional young sports players.“Through our advocacy, we have been able to secure a $7.8 million funding commitment through Droma na Secondary College from [Liberal candidate for Nepean] Sam Groth and the state Liberals, should they be elected later this year,” White said. “However, this relies on the Victori an Liberals winning government and, even then, it will only buy our com munity a couple of years’ reprieve.” Labor’s sitting MP for Nepean Chris Brayne says election promises are not the answer, and that he is continu ally working to increase and improve indoor sporting centres as part of a “long term commitment”. “With the Rosebud Primary School gymnasium complete and open, I’m looking forward to getting on and doing more for our indoor sports,” he said. “I won’t be doing this as some quick election promise with no chance of actually being delivered, but as part of a long-term commitment to our peninsula’s sports community who for way too long have been ignored by politicians on the peninsula.”
In a recent Mornington Peninsula Shire Council budget meeting, sport and recreation was received as the second largest submission. But White says allocations to indoor centres, or progression to, was “almost nonexistent”.In2020, the association took part in the council’s Indoor Sport Capac ity project, which highlighted the problem. White says there has been no follow“Thisup.time next year we will face a situation where we have to tell all the families of children from Mount Martha right through to Portsea that they do not have the option to take up indoor sport, regardless of what sport. We want to be able to at least tell them what we are doing about the prob lem,” he said. A finding from the Indoor Sport Capacity project was that the shire had a lack of owned facilities, but White says there could be better use made of shared community venues. He said the “deterioration” of the council-owned Sorrento Community Centre, where the floors have been unsafe to use now for almost a year, proved that council-owned properties were not always the way to go. “A prime example of where the council has worked with schools is the facility in Rosebud, opposite Yawa [aquatic centre],” he said. “This was a joint funded endeavour which is in immaculate condition as it is run by SPBA who live and breathe the sport and take care of the facili ties.”White says his meetings with the state government had so far shown that indoor sport infrastructure is “not on their radar”. The council also does not have any immediate plans to finance new sports infrastructure, but says it is working on a sports capacity plan. The council’s team leader of community infrastructure and open space, Mark Stahel, said the council recognised the growth of indoor sports on the peninsula and is in the process of developing a new Sports Capacity Plan – V2. Indoor Sports. “This will guide future planning for indoor sports and should be completed before the end of this year,” he said. “Council invests many millions of dollars in sporting infrastructure each year, it makes up a significant portion of our annual capital works program.

“While there are no indoor sport ing facilities currently funded in council’s budget, in recent years we have completed construction of the new Somerville Recreation Centre – a four-court multi-use stadium, which cost close to $10 million.”
Court talk: Chris Brayne says the recent opening of the Rosebud Primary School gymnasium is an example of the state government working to improve sport venues.
THE shortage of indoor venues on the Mornington Peninsula will turn kids away from participating in sports next year, a sporting body has warned. Southern Peninsula Basketball Association manager Ben White says sporting clubs face the “scary reality” that infrastructure development has fallen behind population growth and the projected growth of indoor sports.

A PROGRAM run by Peninsula Health has helped more than 100,000 people who tested positive for COVID-19 but did not need to be hospitalised. COVID Positive Pathways started in March 2020 to provide clinical care and support to Frankston and Morning ton Peninsula residents. The program started after the first people in the community tested positive for COVID-19 and staff from Peninsula Health’s community care department banded together with volunteers to ensure they were able to receive care at home. The COVID Positive Pathways team makes daily phone calls, delivers medication and clinical consultations, as well as offering social support and foodPeninsulapackages.Health acting CEO Helen Cooper said the team had done “a fan tastic job” responding to the needs of the community during difficult times.

Dogs reduced THE Lost Dogs’ Home calling on Victorians to open their hearts and homes to dogs as capac ity has officially hit its North Melbourne and Cranbourne shelters. Dog adoption fee will be reduced for a week from Friday 12 August. The home’s spokesperson Suzana Talevski said although winter was usually a slower time for adoptions, there appeared to be several rea sons for more dogs being available for adoption this‘’Ityear.appears it’s a combination of the winter chill keeping people away, the rising cost of living and the owners no longer having the time to care for their animals. We currently have more than 50 dogs ready for adoption with more arriv ing every day,’’ Talevski said. The home says the main five reasons people surrender their pets are: No longer able or will ing to care for this animal; can no longer afford to care for the animal; moving to where no pets are allowed; no time for their animal; behaviour issues of their dog.

RSPCA Victoria and Lort Smith Animal Hospi tal have joined forces to encourage owners to an nually vaccinate their cats to curb a spike of the infectious viral disease feline panleukopenia. In the past three months, RSPCA has diag nosed 20 cases of feline panleukopenia com pared to one case in the same period last year while Lort Smith Animal Hospital has diagnosed 50 cases. The outbreak has forced RSPCA Victoria and Lort Smith Animal Hospital to lengthen the stay for some cats before they can be adopted.

“In a wondrous underwater environ ment that is out of sight of all but the most experienced divers, the bryozoa that comprise these reefs are non-photosynthetic filter feeders commonly referred to as lace corals,” Barker said. “The Western Port bryozoans are special because they are shallow, large and form contiguous reefs providing important habitat for a multitude of marine species including fish, mol luscs, crustaceans and worms. “They also provide shelter for some species from the strong currents that are typical of this marine waterway. Historically, they and the marine spe cies they have nurtured and protected have been damaged by dredging and other human activities.” The reef research led by La Trobe University and marine consulting and research firm, Fathom Pacific, will quantify the extent of the fragile reefs, processes that threaten and make them vulnerable and will shed light on their growth rate.

PUBLIC donations have helped Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation pay for a greenhouse on French Island and support research into protecting bryozoan reefs. Like corals, bryozoans are inverte brate animals, and have established reefs unique to Western Port. Biosphere foundation CEO Mel Barker said the money being used for the two projects resulted from the recent $50,000 in 50 days fundraising campaign.Barkersaid the donated money would pay for a greenhouse to be used by French Island Landcare to establish a nursery and community garden. While in the marine environ ment the money would go towards a research project into protecting the bay’s bryozoan reefs. “These are projects with significant environmental merit that our cam paign enabled us to we support,” Barker said. “We have been very pleased to be able to notify our donors so quickly about how their money is being put to good use in promoting biodiversity and developing strategies to protect our most valuable natural assets.”

Brown said Bonacini was born in the northern Italian town of Modena, about 40kilometres north-west of Bologna, the same year as Benito Mussolini came to power. The youngest of three boys, he lost his mother at an early age and his father moved the family to France to escape the Mussolini dictatorship. After the war Bonacini arrived in Australia at the Port of Melbourne and “as he was great with his hands and a skillful mechanic” was hired by a garage in Alexandria. “In the meantime, back in the bustling city of Modena was Caesar’s fiance Marisa, patiently awaiting the call to come and join him in Aus tralia. When the new Mrs Bonacini’s arrived in rural Victoria it was quite a culture shock.”
Brown said the club wanted to thank him.
CESARE Bonacini turns 100 on Wednesday this week (17 August) and sees Main Ridge Bowls and Petanque Club as his “spiritual bowls home, his palace”. “This diminutive, always affable Italian mi grant, affectionately known by all in the Morn ington Peninsula bowls community as ‘Caesar’, is indeed hailed by all who have been fortunate to know him on the greens or off,” club member Sue Brown said. On 17 August club members will “salute a unique and beautiful human being”. “He remains a vital component of the bowls team and in 2009-10 secured the club’s pair’s title, a feat he achieved again in 2020-21 with Lee Mellett at the tender age of 98,” Brown said. “Remarkably, last season as a 99 year-old, he was beaten by a single shot in the pairs final. “Everyone in peninsula bowls reveres and admires this man who was as unwaveringly dig nified as he was brilliant in pennant competition. His opponents have long lauded – and feared –his level of skill as a lawn bowler.”
Cr Sarah Race recounted receiving a phone call from a woman in Cairns, Queensland, concerned that her 94-year-old mother had not received home care support from the shire or the new providers. “That was the first time I’d heard [about] any bump in the road, and it did concern me,” Race said.Itwas quite distressing for me that a 94-yearold grandmother was home alone, and I want to assure our elderly people on the peninsula that we do care about them.”
Continued from Page 1 “I don’t know why, but it was probably for political purposes, which is, again, incredibly disappointing.”Inaletterseen by The News an assistant sec retary in the office of federal Health and Aged Care Minister Mark Butler stated the shire had decided some aged care services “no longer fit within their core business” and elected to “par tially relinquish their [Commonwealth Home Support Program] funding”. “This was not a decision made by the Austral ian government, or the department, but rather was an internal decision made by the council,” the assistant secretary stated. The letter ac knowledged there had been “some disruption to services … [and that some were] also not yet being delivered at full capacity”. Cr Kerri McCafferty “echoed” Holland’s senti ments and criticised the media and “activists in the community” for causing stress and concern to “vulnerable people”. Many workers no longer wanted to work in home care because the sector was understaffed, “they have had enough”. McCafferty said the media and “people agitat ing, to no end really, should have a good look at yourselves and stop using click bait for attention because this is causing stress for people in their homes … it’s totally unnecessary and unethical, in my view”.
The couple retired to Dromana more than 20 years ago which meant Bonacini had to find a new bowls club. “He chose the glorious surrounds of Main Ridge as the place to continue his bowls pas sion,” Brown said. “Sadly, Marisa passed away in 2020, but his two children remain his support and joy.” “A long time ago I made two great decisions,” Bonacini told club members. “The first was to migrate to Australia … and the second was to join Main Ridge. I am thankful for that.”

Cr David Gill repeated a statement made by the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh that the new providers on in-home care had been appointed by the federal government and offers of council staff rejected (“Shire ‘committed’ to aged care” The News 9/8/22). “The issue here is one of community concern. The media pick up on that. We’re part of that issue because we are involved and made deci sions. So, when attention is turned on us and the blow torch warms up a bit, we need to be able to explain the reasons and point out what the alternatives were. “I believe we’re doing all we can and did all we could and that’s why we should be able to hold our heads up … [although] that doesn’t mean everyone will agree.” Gill said council should “put a notice out there that we also are not happy. There were problems with the process”. Gill predicted the federal government would come back “and be in the same position we are today. They will be defending their position and will be, hopefully, answering this as upfront and honestly as we are.”

Weir said the institute was asking people in boats “to respect our dolphins”. “It's really common sense. People who sign up will be sent a sticker to proudly show on their vessel and help to change the social norm on the water.“It's OK if dolphins approach you but swim mers, boaters and people on jet skis shouldn't approach closer than 30 metres, 100 metres and 300 metres, respectively.”

Sharing the bay with dolphins

A CLOSE encounter with Port Phillip’s resident dolphins during a day on the bay can be memo rable.But there is a right way and several wrong ways to enjoy the experience - preferably from a safe, non-threatening distance. Dolphin Research Institute executive direc tor Jeff Weir says the bay is a “giant nursery for dolphins, so it's crucial we show them respect”. The institute is set to release a summer Dolphin Distancing campaign, but Weir last week was prompted to speak out before it gets underway following reports of dolphins being harassed at Canadian Bay, Mount Eliza. “Sharon”, who did not wish to be identified, saw and photographed a jet ski and a motor boat being driven through the pod of dolphins. “They nearly plowed right over them more than once,” the keen sailor and Mornington Peninsula resident said. She said the dolphins endured the interrup tion to their feeding for 10 to 15 minutes before heading south towards Mornington with the boat in hot pursuit. The jet ski went north, towards Frankston.“Aswarm weather approaches, I’d hate to see our dolphins struggle to get a good feed where we can watch them because people selfishly turn it into an interactive circus,” Sharon said. “I regularly have dolphins swimming along side the boat when I’m sailing - some with scars on their backs due to boat props. People need better education if they’re going to be out there.”

The choirs are the only women’s Welsh choirs in Australia and will present their Perfectly Splendid concert with soprano Natalie Grimmett.
YEAR 10 to 12 students across the Morning ton Peninsula could win a trip to Canberra and speak in Parliament House as part of the 2022 My First Speech competition. This competition will provide the opportu nity for three students from across Australia to be flown to Canberra with a parent or guardian to present their speeches live and undertake a program at Parliament House. The competition asks years 10 to 12 stu dents to consider what they would say if they were a newly elected member of the House of Representatives and record themselves presenting the speech on video. “As a primary school student, I was trans formed by a trip to Canberra, learning about the processes of government and the work ings of democracy,” MP for Flinders Zoe McKenzie, who is yet to make her own first speech in parliament, said. McKenzie said if one of the winners came from the peninsula she would read their words into Hansard, “where they will stay for the rest of time”. Students looking for more information and to submit their speech can do so at: aph.gov. au/myfirstspeech Entries close at 5pm on 31 August.

The jetty is being upgraded with a $100,000 grant from Better Boating Victoria and $50,000 from Mornington Peninsula Shire. Safety concerns were raised when an inspec tion showed the extent of rotting timbers, including supporting piles and decking. Work was scheduled to begin this week with the jetty being closed to the public, although the boat ramp remains open. The repairs will also include securing the solar lights, new handrails andThepainting.mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said the safety upgrades will extend the lifespan of the jetty by up to 10 years.

AFTER losing its home in a fire last year, the Frankston Lapidary Club has not been welcomed back to Mc Clelland Gallery and Sculpture Park. The Lapidary Club had been based out of the McClelland Gallery grounds in Langwarrin since 1982. In November last year, its clubroom burned to the ground in an accidental fire. Nine months on from the devastat ing blaze, the club remains homeless. Earlier this year, McClelland Gallery advised the Lapidary Club members that it would not rebuild the club room.Lapidary Club member Michael Walsh said that the 56-year-old group “faces demise” because of the deci sion.“It has come to the club’s notice that McClelland Gallery is possibly not going to rebuild or let the club re build the clubrooms,” he said. “Club members would be extremely upset with this “Frankstonoutcome.”Council has been trying to find us temporary clubrooms until we can get established again but this is proving frustrating and difficult. The club has been applying for vari ous grants and have set up a go fund me page with some small success.” The Lapidary Club made rent pay ments to McClelland Gallery while it was based there. The club says that the building was covered by McClel land Gallery’s insurance. McClelland Gallery director Lisa Byrne justified not rebuilding the clubroom by saying that the gallery needed to start “rebuilding patronage and“Thevisitation”.decision was made to focus on the core art, environment and indig enous connections with McClelland going forward. As a result, the Lapi dary Club was advised in early March this year that the Gallery would not be rebuilding the premises that were destroyed in the fire last year. This position reflects the adjustments that we all face in a challenging operating environment,” she said. “My under standing is that the club has reached out to the local Frankston City Coun cil, Mornington Shire Council, and others for support for new premises, and that currently, they are in discus sion with the Frankston City Council. We certainly wish the guild and its members the very best for the future.”

SUNDAY VERA ABC TV, 8.30pm It’s comforting that over 10 seasons of grim discoveries (aka dead bodies), our titular protagonist hasn’t changed much, especially in her appearance. After countless murder cases, Detective Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) could be forgiven for being haunted by the horrors of her small, windswept town, turning up to work in track pants and gumboots. Instead, her olive-green trench coat and bucket hat live on. It’s one of the ways the charming series stays true to Ann Cleeves’ novels. Tonight, in the season’s penultimate instalment, Vera investigates when the body of a medic, Dr Lucy Yo Veheary),(Joyceisfoundinthebackofaburnt-outcar.

There’s nothing like a spot of therapy to really get to the nitty-gritty of a character and add some intriguing layers. This fast-paced procedural serves up drama from a Texan fire, police and ambulance department, but lately an emotional blaze has been smoking inside firefighter Owen (Rob Lowe). This week, the troubled veteran of emergency situations finally opens up about his childhood, uncovering a hidden fear that is tested when the 126 gets a call involving a clown at a young boy’s birthday party. Grace (Sierra McClain) reaches out to a co-worker after a devastating emergency call.
FRIDAY GARDENING AUSTRALIA ABC TV, 7.30pm When this beloved show goes off air once a year it takes time to acclimatise and adjust to Friday evenings without the enthusiastic banter and tips from presenter Costa Georgiadis (left). The hosts deserve a well-earned rest, of course, but the viewing public’s yearning for the plant-loving series never wanes. This week, Friday night is once again in full bloom because Gardening Australia is back. Costa visits a laneway transformed by love and plants, Tino resets the vegie garden for spring.

Four more years I would like to add my name to the growing list of people who are dismayed and disgusted at the way Mornington Peninsula Shire has handled, mishandled, the outsourcing of aged care services. As noted by one complainant, correspondence to the CEO John Baker goes unanswered. I am still waiting for a response to a letter sent to Mr Baker in March this year, so it appears that he feels it beneath him to respond to correspond ence from those who are paying his salary. Also, it appears he prefers to leave it to one of his lackeys (councillors) to respond to the media. What has appalled me is reading in [the shire newsletter] Peninsula Wide this week: “Council reappoints shire CEO”. “Council has reappoint ed the chief executive officer, John Baker, for a further four years. Mr Baker’s current four-year contract ends in November this year.”
As a fellow long term resident of Capel Sound, I would like to congratulate Bettyanne Foster (“Preserve Reserve” Letters 3/08/22) on her amazingBettyanneimagination.speaksabout 11A Allambi Avenue as if she has never seen it. Her letter represents a vacant piece of land as a wonderland of com munity activity. A community-based group has already been admonished by Mornington Penin sula Council for spreading misleading informa tion (“Affordable housing flyer ‘misleading’”
I take exception to much of what the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh claims about aged care services previously provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire (“Shire committed to aged care” The News 9/8/22).Ihave seen little or no evidence of a council being “deeply committed to supporting our older population”.Ihavepaid (high and increasing) rates for nearly 40 years, with fewer services, knowledge, care or concern demonstrated. Increasingly, councillors seem to be using local government to score points for their own political bent, and as a stepping stone to state or federal government. As a client, there was no apparent “thorough process to help clients through the transition (sic) process”. We received a couple of letters; the service has been disrupted for the past 12 months at least as staff left and was particularly limited over a long hot summer. It was then terminated.Iwoulddearly love to know about the “con sulting with community”. With who, how, when and where? I keep an eye out on local newspa pers and can’t recall any advertised community meetings.Contrary to his assertion, there are several providers on, or in proximity to the peninsula. Clients were offered two to choose from. The idea of a “competitive market environment” is, therefore, laughable. We have not received support. “Positive age ing” has become an oxymoron on the peninsula and there is no evidence of concern for our wellbeing shown, from the increasing number of reports showing neglect and abandonment. Barbara Rimington, Balnarring Non-competitive duopoly
Who else, like me, is over the privatisation of yet another vital service? Within the Shire of the Mornington Peninsula, until recently, we had a vital service. The commonwealth home and sup port program has now been privatised. That service, which perhaps was not perfect, nevertheless was mostly adequate for many peo ple and some vulnerable users of the service. When are we going stop this complete utter madness?Whatformer government-owned or operated service that has been privatised has had a posi tive outcome? I am hard pressed to think of one that has really improved the previous federal or state service. There really needs to be a cost benefit analysis of the services that are no longer in public hands. People are not a commodity; they are human beings engaged or not in their community and have needs that should be respected and full filled in a caring manner. This has not happened with shire’s latest experiment of privatisation. I believe councillors who voted for this change to the service should take a long hard look at themselves. You never know when they may require such services. Denise Hassett, Mount Martha Out of mind Who in their right mind would believe “assur ances” by the COALition government that there would be no interruption of aged care services? (“Shire committed to aged care” The News 9/8/22). What planet do they live on? The COALition has the federal seat [of Flinders] locked in, so no need to even offer any pork to the area, let alone follow up on their promises, $35 million to overpass and highway noise abatement for example. Hopefully, the new government will do something about the “new open market system”, which basically means less service for more cost so private providers can make a fortune rorting the system. Sounds exactly like the child care issue to me where costs are unaffordable, but the private companies walk away with huge profits and government subsidies. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach No real choice After the heartbreaking revelations of the aged care royal commission, I hoped stories of neglect and poor treatment of our older people were behind us. Not so, thanks to the decision of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to hand over its aged care services to private providers . Our mayor [Cr Anthony Marsh] states “Morn ington Peninsula Shire councillors share Dr Sarah Russell`s concern for the wellbeing of our older residents” (“Shire ‘committed’ to aged care” The News 9/8/22). If this is true, why have hundreds of vulnerable older people been left without any home care? If the mayor values older people having a choice, surely one choice should have been to continue to have council services? Instead, their choice was between two large private aged care companies. The council put recipients of home care between a rock and a hard place .

The 10 August edition of The News published details of an order made under Section 26(2) of the Domestic Animals Act 1994. It is not clear from the advertisement placed by Mornington Peninsula Shire where the revised dog off-leash exercise regulations apply. For the benefit of dog owners, the amended regulations – dogs are permitted off leash (300 metre section) at all times outside daylight sav ings hours – apply to the 300 metre off-leash section of the McCrae beach east of the car park opposite Margaret Street.
The transfer of aged care services from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to private providers has been an unmitigated disaster. More than 1000 older residents are without in-home support and 110 council staff have lost their jobs. Between 8 and 29 July, I sent the mayor [Cr Anthony Marsh] 10 emails and two texts requesting a discussion about the unfolding catastrophe. On 11 July, I offered to share my opinion piece with him so he could fact check it (“Shire not forced to drop aged care services” The News 2/8/22). I would still welcome a discussion with the mayor. I am interested to know “the thorough process that helped clients through this transition process” and how the council received “in formed consent” to share clients’ personal details with private providers (“Shire committed to aged care” The News 9/8/22). Clients have told me they were asked to sign a form received in the mail. Is this the “strict adherence to privacy principles for data sharing”? The mayor is under the impression that “the peninsula had no provider other than council delivering these services”. Is he not aware of Peninsula Health’s home care services? The mayor claims: “We needed to ensure our residents had choice and the advantage of a com petitive market environment.” This “competitive market” offered older people only two large providers: mecwacare and Bolton Clarke. This is not a competitive market. It is a duopoly. The Albanese government has delayed the commencement of the new support at home pro gram until 1 July 2024. The new federal Aged Care Minister Anika Wells said the government was “taking the time to address the concerns instead of rushing to failure”. Our council made the transition at the worst possible time – during a pandemic when many private providers had reduced staff. Dr Sarah Russell, director, Aged Care Matters No place for elderly Don’t grow old on the Mornington Peninsula. Move somewhere else, or to a country that is more interested in its elderly than we are. The only things that seem to matter now are the economy and those who call themselves Indigenous. To ignore the needs of the elderly is about as low as you can go. For goodness sake, we used to be better than that. Ruth Gooch, Hastings

It is my understanding that under current local government employment arrangements that “when the council wishes to reappoint its existing CEO without advertising the position in this circumstances the council must give public notice two weeks in advance of its intention to put a resolution to reappoint. Details of the reap pointment CEO’s total remuneration under the new contract must then be made public”. Was this done? I believe the ratepayers of Morning ton Peninsula Shire deserve a more honest and transparent appointment of management and its handling of essential services to the elderly within the community. Helen Lord, Mount Eliza Privatisation ‘experiment’
Barbie Wilson, Bittern Kudos for candidate Kudos to Nepean candidate Sam Groth and the Liberals for pledging $340 million to redevelop Rosebud Hospital (“Shire tracks state poll prom ises” The News 9/8/22). This is a very welcome announcement; an upgrade is long overdue. The onus is now on [Nepean Labor MP] Chris Brayne and the Premier Daniel Andrews to match this Unfortunately,commitment.allsigns point to Labor turning our local hospital into a political football. If they refuse to match the pledge then there is a risk our community will miss out yet again and that would be unacceptable. The Mornington Peninsula is starved of state government funding. More than $1 billion will be spent upgrading Frankston Hospital while Rosebud Hospital languishes. Hospitals are a state issue, Labor has been in power for 19 out of the last 23 years and the peninsula continues to miss out. We don’t want any more excuses, no more politicking and no more passing the buck. It’s time for Chris Brayne and Labor to come to the table and get this done and not leave our community in the lurch. Daniel Andrews wouldn’t upgrade Rosebud Hospital when he was health minister, perhaps he can redeem himself by doing it now that he’s the premier. Steve Holland, Mount Eliza Libs ‘not interested’ The MP for Nepean Chris Brayne’s astute ob servation that it was “noteworthy” that Rosebud Hospital only registered as an issue with the Liberal Party when for the first time in 40 years it didn’t hold the local seat brings back memo ries of one other time the hospital crossed their minds (“Shire tracks state poll promises” The News 9/8/22). Thirty years ago, the Kennett Liberal gov ernment conspired with the then Liberal MP for Dromana to declare that Rosebud Hospital should be closed, and the land disposed of. It was only the concerted efforts of local residents, including myself, that rallied and campaigned to stop the Liberals short-sighted proposal. It’s thanks to the local community, certainly not the Liberals, that we have enjoyed the ir replaceable services that Rosebud Hospital has provided for us all for 60 years, and that it can now be redeveloped. Len Warfe, Dromana Don’t blame Hunt I was rather shocked to read the promotion for a Labor state MP (“Promises, promises” Letters 9/8/22).Iconsider it wonderful news that Rosebud Hospital has been promised a much needed upgrade. But this is just dismissed by John Cain as pork barreling. Hospital staff and residents/ tourists requiring hospital services might not. The previous federal government is also blamed for the lack of progress on the M11 over pass at [FormerRosebud.Flinders MP Greg] Hunt acquired in excess of $70 million for the project. The funds remain there until the state government initiates the development. The development is a state government re sponsibility, even though Mr Hunt saw the need to secure funding for constituents. It is now more than three years since the fed eral funds were allocated. The state Labor government has failed the area by not initiating development or contributing any funds towards the development. Nepean MP Chris Brayne will not discuss the topic on behalf of our area even though other areas in the state benefit disproportionately from funds and the big build. John Cain states that Mr Brayne has provided “value for money”. Value for money? Possibly in other areas of the state while the Mornington Peninsula has gone without. The state government is presently working on a set of traffic lights for residents/ pedestrians on the M11 freeway with a cost of $5 million from the federal funds. The proposed develop ment is scheduled to be installed approximately four years after the announcement of the federal funds. This is the state government’s answer to the M11 Rosebud flyover. This is not Mr Hunt’s fault. The ball has been in the hands of the state government now for four years and it has been strategically dropped.

The News 23/5/22) The land is hilly, full of blackberry bushes and random holes in the ground. It is definitely not a “park”. It is not a place to “kick a ball with friends”, unless you want to cause yourself serious injury. The thought that anyone would go there with their “little ones” for a “picnic” is laughable.Mymother and I walk across this “paddock” regularly (as a shortcut, not a destination) and we very rarely meet another soul on it. It is most certainly not “regularly used”. We are experiencing a homelessness crisis and this land is a good spot for affordable housing. Truth and compassion are important in our world today. My hope is the council has more compassion and sense than to listen to a group that appears to have neither. Liz Smith, Capel Sound Extinction looms The southern blue fin tuna is critically endan gered and yet Australia still allows it to be fished (“Catch of the decade” The News 10/8/22). In the state of the environment our ecosystems are in rapid decline. There is no excitement in bring ing a species closer to the brink of extinction just because previous governments failed to offer protection.

The publisher of ‘The Standard’ stands for council Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR W. Crawford Young, who is a candidate for the seat in the Frankston Riding of the Shire Council, in opposi tion to Cr. W. J. Oates, the retiring rep resentative, addressed a large meeting of ratepayers in the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday night last. Mr. T. J.. McMurtrie presided, and seated with him on the platform were Messrs. H. Gamble, A. Bailey, F. Bart let and L. J. Ward. Mr. Young, who was well received, explained that he was new to platform speaking.Asacitizen he claimed that he had a perfect right to offer his services to the ratepayers.Perhapsit was not an enviable posi tion he was seeking, as the testimony of some shire councillors seemed to indicate that in return for their services they received more kicks than halfpence.Despite(Laughter).thatassertion it seemed somewhat peculiar that retiring coun cillors fought very strenuously to retain office. (Renewed laughter). Personally, he regarded it as a good sign when citizens vied with one anoth er for such honors, so the municipality had to bestow. It was, he thought, a sign of –an indication that ratepayers were alive to their own interests. It was not desirable, from the public viewpoint, that retiring councillors should be re-elected unopposed year afterSuchyear.acondition did not necessar ily mean that ratepayers were satisfied with the retiring representatives. It too often meant that ratepayers were too lacking in energy and enterprise to hunt up an opposing candidate. He claimed that he or any other ratepayer had a perfect right to contest the seat for the Frankston Riding and it was quite unfair of the opposition to say that he was out to “down” Cr. Oates. (Hear, hear). No councillor should be afraid to have his place in the confidence of the ratepayers challenged.
PROGRESS WANTED Frankston ratepayers on the present occasion had given unmistakable evi dence of reviving interests in municipal affairs.Thefeeling was that a more progres sive spirit should be infused into our local governing body. There was a feeling abroad that Frankston was not keeping pace with theEvidencestimes. of private enterprise were apparent on every side and only the Shire Council seemed to be dragging behind. MUNICIPAL NEGLECT The candidate said the footpaths were not a credit to Frankston; many of the by-streets were a disgrace, and one particular lane at the rear of build ings at the top end of Bay St. was an undoubted menace to public health. This lane had been under the notice of the Council for years, but action had been delayed until now the medical officer of health had lodged a report, which could not be ignored. It was unfair to citizens that such a disease-breeding spot should have been allowed to exist so long. The health of the community should be protected at any cost. (Cheers) There was a lack of civic pride in Frankston which could only be at tributed to the apathy of ratepayers themselves.Ifratepayers were alert and vigilant, the Shire Council would show cor responding activity. Mr Young indicated one case of ne glect, which, although perhaps small in itself, served to show the lack of pride taken in the appearance of the town. He referred to the old notice board between Deane’s corner and Frankston House. Prior to last Christmas the limb of an adjacent tree had been dislodged by a high wind and fell across the board, breaking the stand and causing the sign to fall half-way to the ground. It was a municipal sign erected by the Council. Instead of repairs being effected immediately, the thing was allowed to remain in its broken and disreputable condition throughout the holidays, until the fallen tree withered as the whole turnout became an eye sore and a reproach. This incident served to indicate the lack of civic pride and lack of proper municipal supervision that existed. Frankston was essentially a seaside residential area and holiday resort, and it should lay itself out to please and attract visitors. OUR GREATEST ASSET Frankston possessed no industries in the sense the term was usually applied. It depended for its existence to a very large extent on its popularity as a residential and seaside resort. It was, therefore, of the utmost importance that the town, the foreshore and the beaches should be kept clean, bright and attractive. If elected to the Council he would move for the appointment of a Fore shoreTheseTrust.Trusts consisted of three coun cillors and five citizens. The beaches and the foreshore were their especial care, and the very fine work performed by the Trusts in other places was sufficient guarantee that Frankston would benefit by the ap pointment of such a body.
BUNGLES OF THE PAST
Mr. Young said the Council had to thank the Electricity Commission ers for extricating them from a very difficult position regarding the electric light supply. The fact that the Council was un able to produce any contract with the Frankston Gas & Electric Light Company showed a deplorable lack of business method, and it was fortunate that Mr. Ditchburn, representing the Frankston Company, had not raised any obstacle to the Council against obtaining control of the position. The stone quarry was another instance of lack of proper business method.Hedoubted if any councillor was in position to say what the financial position of the quarry really was at the present time. The candidate’s view was that a spe cial committee of the Council should be appointed to keep strict supervision over the affairs of the quarry. About £15,000 had been expended on the enterprise and it was due to the ratepayers that every reasonable provi sion should be made to protect their interests. GOVERNMENT BY THOSE ELECTED TO GOVERN The candidate if elected would expect to take his full share of respon sibility in connection with the working of the Council. He would not expect to delegate his duties to the officers of the Council.
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
In Government departments as in Shire Councils there was too often a tendency on the part of the people’s direct representatives to shirk respon sibilities by placing the onus on the shoulders of officers. The particular status of the working foreman would be enquired into by the candidate if elected. The working foreman held a respon sible position and frequently had the oversight of three or four road gangs in different portions of the Riding. The road foreman should keep in close touch with works in progress, and the candidate considered there was something wrong with the system that kept the employee referred to so frequently in the vicinity of the Shire office.The road foreman had been engaged in taking around petitions for new Rid ing, and the Shire Hall when he should have been engaged on the roads. The candidate would be in favor of supplying the foreman with a bicycle to enable him to keep in closer touch with works under his supervision. HONOR AVENUE The candidate considered that the Council had failed in its duty in con nection with the Honor Avenue. Little if any care had been bestowed on the plantation, many of the trees were dead, dying or missing altogether, and brass plates which should have been supplied long ago were still missing.Heunderstood that a committee had money in hand for the purchase of the name plates and yet nothing was done.

PAGE 26 Western Port News 17 August 2022
By Stuart McCullough THERE’S no getting around it – times are tough. Wherever you turn, there are problems piling up like laundry in a world without a washing ma chine. War, famine and the end of ‘Neighbours’ – there’s simply no end to the misery confront ing us. And whilst there are a lot of very obvi ous problems, there seems to be no corresponding supply obvious solutions. This fact is reinforced every time I turn on the television. Almost with out fail, the person talking will begin by saying ‘there’s no silver bullet’. This prompts the obvi ous question – what on earth happened to all the silver bullets? Let me speak candidly, I’ve never owned a silver bullet. It never occurred to me to do so. And this is coming from someone who owns a doohickey, a thingamajig and several whatchamacallits. But no silver bullets. Frankly, it feels a bit shortsighted. Despite going to the supermarket weekly, I never think to grab a packet of silver bullets to plonk beside the tub of yoghurt in my trolley in case of problems. Granted, some problems can be solved by a good yoghurt. Others, however, require a sil ver bullet. But alas – I’m now left to wallow in my own foolishness as it’s too late. There are no more silver bullets to be bought. We’ve run out. When faced with this kind of gut-wrenching disappointment, it’s tempting to blame others. It’s also comforting. And something I will do without a moment’s hesitation. Which is why I demand to know which bozo was asleep at the wheel and allowed this chronic under-supply of silver bullets to come about? For it seemed like only yester day that silver bullets lay strewn across the street and it was almost impossible to leave the house without tripping over them. Now you can’t get a silver bullet to save yourself. Clearly, someone’s to blame. That said, silver bullets are something of a niche product. They’re different to milk, bread and sugar in that respect. Traditionally, though, sil ver bullets are also used to dispatch werewolves and witches into the afterlife as well as solve in tractable problems. Which makes me think that if we’ve run out, werewolves and witches must be in plague proportions and we’re in danger of being overrun. Try not to panic. The Lone Ranger also used silver bullets, even though there are no surviving accounts of either he or Tonto being attacked by werewolves. Truth is, he probably only used silver bullets on account of not having any lead ones. As a result, he then believed that silver bullets were perfect for every occasion – from dispensing justice to wayward outlaws through to pest control and even remov ing bottle caps. This phenomenon is known as ‘golden hammer’, even though it’s a silver bullet. Which is kind of ironic. Bob Seger – who, in a certain light, bears more than a passing resemblance to a werewolf – had ‘the Silver Bullet Band’. Until supply chains are restored, perhaps we can make do for the time be ing with a bit of Bob Seger. Next time someone important stands up to announce ‘there’s no sil ver bullet’, expect them to slide into shot wear ing only a shirt, sunglasses and a regular pair of Reg Grundys whilst the Silver Bullet Band cranks out ‘Old Time Rock and Roll’. Suddenly, were wolves won’t seem so bad. Doubtless, the great silver bullet drought on 2022 will be something that will be remembered forever. There will be murals, plays and songs (and not just ‘Old Time Rock and Roll’, either) as tales of our collective suffering are handed down from one generation to the next. In fact, so severe is our current shortage, they’ll have to rewrite the record books. It may be that I’m watching too much sport. But every time an athlete does exceptionally well, there is talk of ‘rewriting the record books’. Re writing an entire book is a drastic step when a slight edit would surely suffice. At most, a revised edition would be enough. I remember once setting a new world record for the most number of times falling over whilst playing football. Although it was undoubtedly a stunning achievement that stands to this day, I doubt that a full rewrite would be warranted. Probably just a note of correction, slipped inside the cover. Much like silver bullets, it turns out that the re cord books are also in scarce supply. Worse still, when I marched into my local bookstore and asked to be pointed in the general direction of the record books (I wanted to see if they’d been rewritten already), not only were they out of stock, they denied their existence altogether. Clearly, this is a conspiracy lead by werewolves (probably) and whoever is responsible for inventing Tik Tok. Sigh. Sometimes it all seems like too much. As problem after problem continues to pile up, all we can do is comfort ourselves to the gentle strains of ‘Night Moves’ by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Maybe things will start to improve. Per haps things will start to get better if we simply grit our teeth and keep on going. One thing’s for sure though. When it comes to the current shortage of silver bullets, all I know is that there’s no silver bullet to fix it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

PINES are still in the hunt for finals after a thrill ing win over Sorrento on Saturday. The Pythons looked good from the start at Da vid Macfarlane Reserve. They took a healthy 26 point lead into the final term. Sorrento worked hard in the final quarter to get back into the contest. Pines were able to do enough to keep them at bay. Despite the late scare, Pines ended up winning 7.9 (51) to 8.12 (60). Nick Boswell booted five goals, making him one of the best on ground. The Pythons will go into the final home-andaway round in sixth place, behind fifth place Frankston Bombers by just two points. The Bombers kept hold of fifth by defeating bottom place Edithvale-Aspendale. The Bomb ers were victorious by 38 points 10.16 (76) to 5.8 (38).

The Redlegs fired a warning shot to the rest of the competition by knocking off ladder leaders Frankston YCW on Saturday. Both sides had to contend with bad weather at Emil Madsen Reserve. The Stonecats had trouble finding the scoreboard all day. Mt Eliza emerged from the scrappy contest vic torious. They won 7.9 (51) to 3.5 (23).

Pearce dale stamped their authority on the game early, and managed to keep up the pressure. Pearcedale led at each break of play.

Pearcedale triumphed by 13 points, taking fifth spot from Chelsea and booking an elimina tion final with Devon Meadows this weekend. The final score was Pearcedale 13.10 (88) to Chelsea 12.3 (75).

Picture: Alan Dillon Tom Gibiney George Slocombe David Longmuir Jack Mac Arthur Horace Russell Team of 1914: No photo of the conquering Mornington team of 1915 has been found but this 1914 runner up team has many of the players that played in the last match against Tyabb in 1915. Picture: Supplied History repeats: Mornington had a win over Tyabb, just like in 1915. Picture: Alan Dillon
GEORGE SLOCOMBE the Tyabb captain and veteran rover was a local champion having played in the glory days at Hastings when Tyabb strug gled to field a team. Small in stature he made up for it with tenacity and a hard attack on the ball. Handy around goal he was a war horse for Tyabb in an era when the club struggled. How ever, he was able to be a key player when the glory years came playing in the 1921 and 1922 Premiership teams. He played over 170 games for Tyabb, Somerville, Hastings and Moorooduc. He was also selected to represent the P. F.A in the first As sociation match against Essendon in 1914. A fine cricketer and a brilliant horseman George or Geordie, as he was known, is one of the legends of Tyabb Football Club.
DAVID LONGMUIR who was best on ground for Tyabb in the match against Mornington was a fine player who always led from the front and was regularly one of the best play ers for the Maroons. David became captain of the side after George Slo combe and led the club to its third Premiership in a row, having played in the first two. He played well into his 30’s and chalked up over 200 games at Tyabb, Hastings and Moo rooduc. Several of the players in the Tyabb v Mornington game from 1915 had or would sign up to the conflict. Those from Mornington would be Sam Gar lick, Lincoln Butler and Jack Mac Ar thur. From Tyabb there were William Denham, Laurence Denham, Walter Hobson, Ron McLaurin, David Long muir and Horace Russell. Sadly, Laurence Denham did not survive the war while Horace Russell was captured and spent several years in a German P.O.W camp and al though he returned home and became Secretary of the Tyabb club he did not enjoy the best of mental health and died in 1923. So now after 107 years these two local historic clubs have met again to resume the contest that in 1915 no body at that game would have ever considered taking that long to come around again.
AFL MORNINGTON’S 144 win over Tyabb on 6 August had football historians running for their record books, and not becuase of the size of the win. De spite being only ten minutes or so ap part, it was the first time in 107 years the two teams had met. By Doug Dyall SEASON 2022 brought together for the first time since Round 8 1915, Tyabb versus Mornington in senior football. It is the longest gap in local football history and probably country football where two teams in the one area having had a 107 year-gap play ing against each other in Senior Foot ball. This unique record came about after Mornington were relegated in 2019 after having the extraordinary record of playing in the senior competition for over 110 years. The two clubs did meet in B grade competitions since 1915 but never in senior football. Let’s look back to 1915 and the last time these two teams played against one another. The match was at the Alexandra Park on 3 July 1915 after Mornington had won the round 1 clash 6.7 to 2.6 at Tyabb Reserve. Morning ton was coached by Tom Gibney a former Geelong VFL player while the Tyabb team was led by veteran George Slocombe. The umpire was from the Metropolitan Junior Association was Currie. The 18 for Mornington on that day were Lou Connell – Tom Gibney –William Sanderson – W. Hailes – Sam Sherlock – Peter Olsen – Albert White – George Wilson – Sam Garlick – Lou Harrison – John Connell - Jim Wilson – Arthur Thompson – Jack Mac Ar thur – Jack Hutchins – Tom Harrison – Walter Golds and Lincoln Butler. The Tyabb team were George Slo combe – David Longmuir – Fred Mills – Albert Mills – Colin Mc Kirdy –William Denham – William Longmuir – Jack Baker – Walter Hobson – Les Slocombe – John Millington – Laurie Denham - Bert Alden – Harold Mills – Frank Unthank – Ron Mc Laurin –Arnold Noble and Horace Russell. Mornington got away to a good start and put up a handy lead with their two big forwards playing an important role and put a win beyond Tyabb’s reach before half time. Tyabb did not give up trying and matched the home team after the break. Mornington 16.12 de feated Tyabb 6.8. Goals for Morning ton were Lou Connell 6 – Tom Gibney 3 – William Sanderson 2 – W. Hailes 2 – Sam Sherlock 2 and Peter Olsen and Albert White got 1 goal. For Ty abb David Longmuir scored 2 goals whilst Fred Mills, Albert Mills, Colin Mc Kirdy and William Denham got one each. Best players for Mornington were Lou Connell – Albert White –Sam Sherlock – Tom Gibney and W. Hailes, while for Tyabb David Long muir and Colin Mc Kirdy did a great lot of the hard work as well as the re liable George Slocombe and William Mornington get first win over Tyabb in 107 years

Longmuir The news of the war in Europe and Australia’s involvement at Gallipoli were just filtering through to the pub lic and many locals were joining up at the time this game was being played and by the end of round 11 on 31 July the season was curtailed and finals took place with Mornington taking out the Premiership defeating Langwarrin Guards TOM GIBINEY was recruited to Mornington after several seasons coaching with East Geelong he had been at Geelong FC in 1906 where he played 7 games. om was quite tall and a very accurate kick at goal. It was the first coaching position on the Penin sula prior to that season players were elected as captain and they fulfilled the role of coach. Tom ended up back at Geelong playing with North Geelong after the war ended. In 1915 his year with Mornington he won the P.F.A goal kicking award kicking 31 goals.

Somerville went behind in the 14th minute of its clash but captain Adrian Pace equalised two minutes later when he was quickest to react to a scramble in the box following a Conor Mcfall corner.Dandenong South was on top though and left winger Halil Reki cut inside then unleashed a superb strike into the top far corner to make it 2-1. Two minutes into the second half Josh Simmons made it 2-2 following a Pace corner. It took a piece of individual bril liance from Dandenong South’s Isa Sula on the right who skinned two defenders and hammered home a shot from a tight angle to put the visitors in frontButagain.Somerville persisted and was rewarded in the 88th minute when a penalty awarded for handling saw Mc fall send opposition keeper Elvis Ali movski the wrong way.
