Richardson takes local government reigns Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au

MEMBER for Mordialloc, Tim Richardson has, for the first time, been elevated to state cabinet under new Premier Ben Carroll, and been allocated the portfolio of Minister for Local Government. Richardson, who lives in Chelsea, will now assume responsibility for the effective running of local governments across the state including the problem-plagued City of Kingston council. State government-appointed monitors overseeing Kingston Council have been in place since 2025, with their term initially planned to finish on 31 December 2025, before being extended. Then, in a decision that blindsided some at Kingston Counci, their term was extended for a second time. A media release issued by council at 1pm on 30 June read that the municipal monitors were “finalising work at Kingston”, only for an updated media release to be issued hours later confirming that they were set to stay (Kingston Council monitors set to
stay, The News 7/7/26). The monitors’ term is now scheduled to end on 14 August, allowing them to remain at council until the finalisation of the results for the Melaleuca Ward by-election. The two monitors are paid for by Kingston ratepayers at a cost of more than $1000 a day. The decision to re-appoint the monitors sparked a flurry of activity on social media. Deputy mayor Sarah O’Donnell posted “I wish I had a clear answer but I don’t! Zero clarity and as an elected councillor representing the City of Kingston I have not received any information informing me as to why this has happened. I will keep you informed as I can. “My absolute apologies to all Kingston residents, you deserve better, we all do. The VEC are responsible for the by-election, not monitors!” A further challenge for Richardson in his new role is the discovery of “administrative errors” in invoices submitted by one of the monitors, John Tanner.

FRANKSTON Fire Brigade member Melissa Gourley has been formally commended by Ambulance Victoria following her response to a GoodSAM alert in Frankston South on 9 July. The attending MICA Paramedic praised Gourley’s exceptional actions at the scene of a cardiac arrest, particularly the compassionate emotional support she provided to the patient’s fiancé during an incredibly confronting and time-critical situation. Her support eased the burden on emergency crews, allowing paramedics to focus their full attention on patient care. Before ambulance crews arrived, Gourley provided care to the patient while relaying critical information to the 000 call-taker. She then delivered a clear handover to Ambulance Victoria crews upon their arrival. The commendation highlights not only the care provided to the patient, but also the compassion and support Gourley showed to the patient’s loved ones during an incredibly difficult time. What makes this recognition even more remarkable is that Gourley responded as a civilian through the GoodSAM program, demonstrating an incredible commitment to supporting her local Frankston community when people need it most. Sadly, the patient later passed away in hospital. Gourley, who has been a member of Frankston Fire Brigade and CFA for more than 33 years, began her firefighting journey as a junior firefighter and currently serves as a firefighter, secretary and junior leader.

worst moments they may experience.” When asked about receiving the commendation, Gourley remained humble. “I was surprised and shocked. I do the GoodSAM program to help those in their time of need, so the commendation is an encouragement to continue being part of the program, knowing that my efforts do make a difference.”

Her motivation for joining the GoodSAM program stems from a deeply personal experience. “I decided to get involved with GoodSAM after my mother suffered a cardiac arrest in 2018,” said Gourley “Despite the efforts of my brother, me, CFA Emergency Medical Response crews and ambulance crews, my mum sadly passed away. It made me think about my neighbours and how I could help and support them through what could be one of the

Combined response saves girl after asthma attack A PATTERSON Lakes family’s holiday on Phillip Island turned into a medical emergency when nine-yearold Alyssa suffered a serious asthma episode, requiring a co-ordinated and sustained response to save her. Treatment from teams at Cowes Urgent Care Centre and Peninsula University Hospital in Frankston worked together to ensure she made a full recovery. “Alyssa had woken up during the night with a bit of asthma, so I started her asthma management plan,” said Alyssa’s mum, Kirra. “She had a little cold and her asthma is very much viral induced, so it wasn’t anything that seemed particularly concerning. But then after lunch it really took hold and I thought, ‘This is getting a bit out of hand.’” Kirra took Alyssa to Phillip Island Community Hospital, where staff quickly identified that her oxygen levels were low and began treatment. “They started the therapies they normally do, but she just wasn’t improving, which was unusual for her,” said Kirra. “The staff were excellent and organised a PIPER (Victorian Paediatric Infant Perinatal Emergency Retrieval) transport to Frankston.” When Alyssa arrived at Peninsula University Hospital’s Emergency Department in Frankston, she was taken straight to the resuscitation area. A large team of clinicians worked to determine why the usually healthy young girl was failing to improve. “She had chest X-rays, blood tests,
Pictures: Supplied
swabs and an ECG – everything was coming back negative,” said Kirra. “One of the doctors actually said, ‘She’s baffling us,’ because she just wasn’t improving.” Throughout the experience, one nurse in particular left a lasting impression on the family. Nurse Leah remained by Alyssa’s side throughout the night, helping keep both mother and daughter calm through the various treatments.
“She just had a way of making everything seem seamless,” said Kirra. “Even when I could tell things were getting serious, she would calmly explain what was happening and what they were going to do next.” When standard treatments failed to bring significant improvement, Leah sat down beside Kirra to explain a new approach using high-flow oxygen therapy and magnesium
treatment. “She knelt down in front of me and said, ‘We’re going to try something different now,’” said Kirra. “I think that was probably the moment I started to realise just how serious things were.” After this treatment, Alyssa began to improve. “The staff even said, ‘Oh my God, she’s like a different kid,’” said Kirra.
“She just turned around out of nowhere.” After being stabilised in the Emergency Department, Alyssa spent a few days recovering on the paediatric ward before being discharged home. Now, the energetic nine-year-old is doing well and is back at school and on the basketball court. Just days after leaving hospital, Alyssa was able to briefly join her basketball team during a grand final match. “The team put her on the court with about a minute to go so she could be part of it,” said Kirra. “The ball somehow landed in her lap and she scored three points in that minute.” The team went on to win the grand final. Looking back on the experience, Kirra is deeply grateful to the healthcare workers who cared for her daughter, from the clinicians in Phillip Island who recognised the need for urgent escalation to the Emergency Department and Children’s Ward staff at Peninsula University Hospital. “For them, it’s their job,” said Kirra. “But for parents going through something like that, scared and not knowing what’s happening, they make such a difference. “Not just on the medical side, but in the way they care for people. They really do deserve to be acknowledged and thanked for the difference they make every day.”
Operation to reclaim FAC carpark Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON City Council officers, in conjunction with Victoria Police and support agencies, have undertaken an operation to reclaim the lower level car park at the Frankston Arts Centre after it was occupied by a number of members of the public. During July, a number of people that have residential addresses moved into the lower level of the car park, and partook in threatening and antisocial behaviour. The News believes that some patrons were accosted by the people
prompting the council to remove vehicles they had stored in the lower level and close that level of the car park off. The closure caused further issues for Frankston Arts Centre patrons with the reduction in parking requiring some patrons to park elsewhere to visit the centre. “The safety of our staff, Frankston Arts Centre patrons and the wider community is our highest priority,” said Frankston City Council CEO Tennille Bradley. “Frankston City Council, including our Executive Leadership Team, is aware of the safety incidents and concerning behaviours within the lower
level of the Frankston Arts Centre car park. “In response, Council implemented appropriate measures to protect staff, patrons and visitors while ensuring support is available to people experiencing homelessness who may be impacted by the closure. “As a precautionary measure, the area was temporarily closed while council worked with Victoria Police, Frankston Zero and specialist outreach service providers to respond to the situation. “Council recognises that people experiencing homelessness are members of our community and that rough sleeping, in itself, does not pose a
safety risk. “The temporary closure related to a series of specific safety incidents and behaviours in the area, rather than because people may have been experiencing homelessness.” On Thursday 30 July council staff, assisted by Victoria Police, informed four people on the lower level of the car park that they were required to vacate the area. “The lower level of the car park has now been reopened and continues to be closely monitored. Additional security and patrol arrangements have also been implemented, and council will continue to review conditions within the car park,” said Bradley.
“The Frankston Arts Centre received a small number of enquiries regarding the temporary closure of the lower level car park. While formal complaints have been limited, council has acted proactively in response to the identified safety risks.” A statement from City of Frankston said council’s response is guided by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities alongside council’s Responding to Rough Sleeping Protocol, balancing the dignity and rights of people experiencing homelessness with their responsibility to provide safe and accessible public spaces for everyone.

EPA investigates Kananook Creek oil slick THE Environmental Protection Agency have been investigating an oil slick with a strong odour in Kananook Creeek between Seaford and Frankston. The alert issued by the EPA on 6 August advised people to avoid contact with the water until further notice. Frankston City councillor Emily Green wrote on social media on Friday (7 August): “I’ve been advised that the hydrocarbon pollution appears to be entering Bardia Drain before flowing into Kananook Creek”.

“Council officers and the EPA met on site today to inspect the drainage network and continue tracing the source. At this stage, investigations are still ongoing and the source hasn’t been confirmed. “I understand how upsetting this would be to see, especially while investigations are continuing.” Over the weekend, barriers (pictured below) were installed to prevent the spill spreading towards the bay.

Making every trip to the beach more accessible THE City of Kingston is rolling out the welcome mats, four in total, to create accessible beach pathways along the foreshore. Following a successful trial at Aspendale during the 2025–26 summer period, the project has progressed to Phase Two, with new pathways installed at Mentone, Mordialloc and Chelsea. Mayor Georgina Oxley said the
project is about removing barriers so more people can enjoy one of Kingston’s greatest natural assets. “Our beaches are where so many special memories are made. They’re places where families come together, friends catch up, people exercise, relax and simply enjoy being outdoors,” Cr Oxley said. “Something as simple as crossing soft sand shouldn’t stop someone
from being part of those moments. These paths mean more people can make it across the sand, dip their toes in the water, watch the kids play, enjoy a picnic or simply spend time with family and friends by the bay. Those are the moments that matter, and as many people as possible should have the opportunity to experience them.”

Local government challenges loom for MP Continued from Page 1 Kingston Council has announced it will refer invoices submitted by the state governmentappointed municipal monitors for independent auditing, with a referral to the Local Government Inspectorate and Independent BroadBased Anti-Corruption Commission to follow (Councillors refer monitors for audit, The News 5/8/26). The mayor Georgina Oxley supported the proposal to refer the matter for assessment by the independent Audit and Risk Committee. She said “we as a council are simply stating that we are concerned, we ask that there be action taken,
and I know that those investigations are occurring at the moment into what’s occurred.” “We don’t have the full picture, but what’s important is that we get it, and if money does need to be paid back that it’s paid back with interest depending on how long that’s been occurring for,” the mayor said. Before Richardson was given the role of Minister for Local Government, MP for Box Hill Paul Hamer had held the portfolio since April 2026. Richardson has also been allocated the portfolios of Minister for Consumer Affairs and Minister for Renters.

Social basketball league to tip off in Frankston By Sarah Halfpenny BROTHERS Blake and Max Jackson launched HalfCourt, a new social 3x3 basketball competition, at Mount Erin Secondary College in Frankston South on 9 August, becoming the second league of its kind in Australia (after Adelaide) and the first in Victoria. Blake, 23, and Max, 21, grew up in Langwarrin and now live in Frankston South. Both have played for the Frankston Blues NBL1 team, with Blake continuing to play while Max has recently stepped back from the club. The pair came up with the idea for HalfCourt after struggling to find anywhere to play 3x3 basketball regularly – a faster-paced offshoot of the traditional game that features three players a side and has grown in popularity in recent years, including at the Olympics. “Max came up with the idea,” said Blake. “We were talking in our kitchen one night about other sports, and Max mentioned a threeon-three league and how no one is doing it. “We wanted to bring that to a weekly league, but we didn’t want it to be just for all the good players. We wanted it to be a social thing, to bring a community together and make it something that’s looked forward to on a Sunday night.” HalfCourt will run as a 10-week season, including a two-week grading phase and a week of finals. Matches will be held on Sunday evenings between 5pm and 8pm, with two 12-minute games running at once across a split court. Fifteen teams and 70 players signed up ahead
of the launch, with registrations remaining open for a further fortnight. Teams can register up to five players each, with three allowed on court at a time. Players pay a one-off $30 registration fee, plus a $64 team fee split between players each week they take part. The brothers have partnered with local businesses, including the Frankston coffee shop Project One, which is sponsoring a weekly highlight prize, and surf shop Trigger Bros, which is providing vouchers. Local DJs, photographers and videographers will also feature each week. Blake said the roles for the venture were split between the pair. “Max does more of the ‘boring’ stuff, I would say. He does a lot of the finances. He’s written all the league constitutions and codes of conduct, and insurance and whatever. “I’m more of the creative side. I run the social media and do a lot of the marketing and graphic design.” All games will be filmed, with highlights shared across HalfCourt’s social media accounts, where Blake said their following was growing rapidly with over 200,000 combined views already before the launch. The brothers said their aim was to expand the competition beyond its first season. “We’re hoping to expand into a women’s comp, and hopefully open one up for kids as well,” he told The News.

Program to help empower and transform women Scouts honoured THE Women’s Spirit Project (WSP) is launching a new free eight-week online program designed to help transform lives affected by trauma, burnout, isolation, and adversity. For the past eight years, the local registered charity has supported women navigating difficult times. WSP have taken into consideration the fact women often have busy schedules, financial stress, and/or children, and have designed a new flexible initiative. Juanita Sanger, Lead Facilitator, said their programs are built for women experiencing life’s challenges. “Whether it’s burnout, loss, mental health challenges, domestic violence or simply feeling stuck in survival mode,” said Sanger. To help break down any logistical hurdles, the new program will bring support to wherever the women are. “When we do these online and in the evening, everyone will be able to either join from a phone or from a laptop,” said Sanger. “It’s free, so it’s very accessible, which means that we remove the cost barrier.” The program begins with an in-person workshop in October, followed by five Tuesday evening online sessions. A group of women will take steps together, guided by facilitators and volunteer mentors who have navigated their own challenges. For anyone interested, there is an opportunity to learn more and meet the team at an informal welcome session on 1 September at Our Place in Frankston. “No commitment needed, just see if it feels right,” said Sanger. Sanger acknowledged that many women feel isolated and don’t know where to start, which is where WSP comes in. “We create a welcoming environment from day one, starting with a warm meet-and-greet women’s circle with our volunteer mentors,” said Sanger. “Over the course of the journey, the

Picture: Supplied transformation is incredible. Women complete our programs knowing where they want to go next.” Sanger said the program connects women to the wider community, which opens doors to employment and new opportunities. “They rebuild their strength, reclaim their confidence, and take charge of their future,” said Sanger. Managing Director Suzanne Murphy said the organisation was born out of a glaring gap in traditional support services. “Behind every woman walking through our doors is a quiet, courageous decision that her story and her children’s, won’t end where it started,” said Murphy. “We walk beside them until they find their strength.” WSP relies heavily on donations to keep their
doors open and allow them to provide their services free-of-charge. They have launched the Give Her Wings appeal, with a goal of raising $80,000 in August. “We have already raised $60,000, thanks to the generous support of our community and donors like Pressroom Philanthropy, Smart Business Solutions Group, Women in Business Mornington Peninsula, Frankston Rotary Club, RAW Travel and Jodie Belyea,” said Murphy. “When donors support us, we remind them that they aren’t just helping one individual woman; they help breaking a cycle and support driving lasting, generational change.” You can support the cause here: charidy.com/ wsp and sign up to the WSP programs here: womensspiritproject.org.
TWELVE Kingston District Scouts volunteers have been recognised in Scouts Victoria’s 2026 Adult Recognition Awards, announced on 1 August to mark World Scout Day. Four Special Service Awards, recognising the successful support, development or management of a section or a major activity, went to Catherine Blamey (Assistant Joey Scout Leader, Mentone), Charlie O’Neill (Group Leader, 1st Edithvale), Andrew Tarlinton (Assistant Scout Leader, Mentone) and Robert Cannizzaro (Assistant Joey Scout Leader, Aspendale). Four Meritorious Service Awards, for service consistently exceeding expectations over many years, were presented to Paul Baillie (Activity Leader, Police Scouters), Paul Clifford (Group Leader, 7th Cheltenham), Rebekah Grubb (Assistant Group Leader, 7th Cheltenham) and Michelle McVay (Assistant Scout Leader, Aspendale). Gregory Dack (Assistant Cub Scout Leader, Mentone) received the Silver Wattle, recognising outstanding service across a number of leadership roles. Hai-Anh Nguyen (District Leader, Training – Advanced Leadership) and Sandi Robertson (Assistant Cub Scout Leader, 1st Chelsea Heights) were awarded the Silver Koala, for distinguished service of an exceptional standard over many years. Charles Robertson (Group Leader, 1st Chelsea Heights) received the Silver Emu, recognising further distinguished service beyond the Silver Koala. World Scout Day marks the anniversary of the first Scout camp, held on Brownsea Island, England in 1907 by Robert Baden-Powell. Kingston District Commissioner Nathan Pearson congratulated the recipients. “These awards recognise years of dedication, leadership and service to Scouting. More importantly, they recognise the countless young people whose lives have been enriched because of your commitment,” said Pearson.

Gallop to take the stage in famed opera Raia Flinos raia@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON resident Steven Gallop will return to the stage on 23 August as Melbourne Opera presents Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore. Gallop will play Ferrando in the production, which will run for four performances at Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre. Over the years, Gallop has performed with the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Welsh National Opera, and Opera Australia, but his journey began with school musicals in Brisbane. “I was always in involved in school musicals and that sort of thing, but it never really became serious until probably my mid 20s,” said Gallop. At the time, he was teaching while singing with the Queensland Light Opera Company and then Queensland Opera Company. It was his singing teacher, Margreta Elkins, who challenged him to pursue singing professionally. “She basically gave me an ultimatum to either teach or sing,” said Gallop. “And I made the decision because I thought ‘Well, you only have one life’.” After studying at the Queensland Conservatorium for a year, Gallop secured a contract with Opera Australia before winning the Sydney Eisteddfod Opera (formerly known as the Sydney Sun Aria) Scholarship in 1992.

The win launched Gallop’s international career, which took him to Vienna for 14 years. He returned to Australia in 2008 and settled in Frankston with his partner, where they continue to live
“It’s a great privilege, I think, to be able to sing Verdi’s work,” said Gallop. “It really shows what singers can do.” In Il Trovatore, Gallop’s character
with their son. “It’s got everything,” said Gallop. “It’s a great city.” Gallop said performing Verdi’s work is a great opportunity to show his voice.
Ferrando opens the opera by recounting a dark story which drives the plot. “It’s a melodramatic opera, a fantastic drama with incredible music and familiar tunes that the audience will know,” said Gallop. As well as the famous score, Gallop said the opera continues to resonate with audiences for a number of reasons. “There’s a lot of political themes, with the conflicts, and so it resonates with audiences today in that you still see those sorts of conflicts existing in the world, unfortunately,” said Gallop. “You also have, the other thing, of course, which is most important, that people can relate to, which is love, and all those emotions.” Gallop has been preparing for his role for months, including coaching sessions with conductor Raymond Lawrence before rehearsals begin. Gallop said for him, the reward lies in connecting with audiences. “I love being on stage,” said Gallop. “I love the connection with audiences and being able to move audiences in some emotional way, and take them away from their reality, take them away from their real lives.” Tickets are now available for Il Trovatore, which opens 23 August at Melbourne Athenaeum Theatre.

SHAUN MICALLEF’S ORIGIN ODYSSEY
FRIDAY
SBS, 7.30pm
GARDENING AUSTRALIA ABC TV, 7.30pm
Like many of us, Gardening Australia has been hibernating for winter, but with the weather starting to warm up, the days getting longer and the sun shining a little more brightly, it’s time to get back out into nature. As usual, the team is on hand to provide plenty of inspiration for those of us ready to get our green thumbs dirty again. Hannah Moloney is in Cairns touring its lush, tropical Botanic Gardens, and Jerry Coleby-Williams takes viewers along as he visits a stunning coastal plot. Costa Georgiadis, meanwhile, is taking in a “destination garden” and Josh Byrne meets a “plant stylist”.
SUNDAY
THE 66TH TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS 2026 SEVEN, 7.30pm
The hugely popular Robert Irwin (right) is the youngest-ever host of Australia TV’s night of nights at the tender age of 22. He’s also in the mix for the Gold Logie, up against some stiff competition in five-time nominee Julia Morris, journalist Ally Langdon, comedian Sam Pang, MasterChef Australia judge Poh Ling Yeow, Tipping Point Australia host Todd Woodbridge and ABC presenter Lisa Millar (Back Roads, Muster Dogs).

THE BLOCK NINE, 7.30pm
While the season’s theme of “quiet luxury” appears to be getting interpreted as “beige on beige on beige” by the teams thus far, things behind the scenes are anything but. Yes, it’s drama as usual on The Block as main bedroom renovations begin. After the debacle of last night’s family bathroom judging, most of the Blockheads are pretty grumpy. Hosts Scott Cam and Shelley Craft (above) will be hoping a surprise visit from some fan favourites might be enough to lift the mood.
While season one of this familyhistory-focused travel series centred on comedians’ stories, this year Shaun Micallef is branching out to include actors and presenters. He’ll be taking Kate Langbroek to Jamaica, Denise Scott to Germany, Matt Okine to Ghana, Luke McGregor to Scotland and Tony Armstrong to Ireland. But first up we have Pia Miranda (below left with Micallef), whose ancestors hailed from Sicily in Italy. More precisely, the island of Vulcano, population roughly 1000. Like Who Do You Think You Are, but more fun, the joy in this series comes from the wonderful rapport Micallef builds with his travelling companions.

Why we can’t ignore our pets’ dental health by RSPCA Victoria
IT’S easy to overlook your pets’ dental health, but it’s a critical part of their overall well-being. Unfortunately, dental disease is a common concern for cats and dogs over three years old. This isn’t just a minor issue, as untreated dental problems can cause pain, infection, and even impact your pet’s vital organs like their kidneys and liver. Thankfully, when your pet’s dental problems are caught in time, they can be remedied before they escalate into a serious illness that requires costly veterinary treatment. Just as we prioritise regular check-ups for ourselves, our pets deserve the same attention to prevent hidden pain and disease.
Signs of dental issues can be subtle, but pet owners should monitor their animals for signs, including bad breath, discoloured teeth, unusual chewing habits, pawing at the mouth, or changes in eating behaviour. Regular dental checks are even more crucial for cats because they are exceptionally talented at hiding their pain. Overlooking our pets’ dental health can lead to unnecessary suffering and more complex health problems down the line. Addressing our pets’ dental health is essential to their quality of life, and you can learn more at rspcavic.org/learn/dental-health
Benefits of pet ownership Pet ownership offers many benefits, including improving social wellbeing, mental health and physical health. • Pets can provide a sense of purpose and companionship and relieve feelings of loneliness and isolation. • Having a pet can reduce your stress levels and help you cope better in challenging times. • Walking your dog can improve your fitness levels and heart health.
Why register your pet? Kingston is a pet-friendly city, with registration fees helping to fund valuable animal services. It is important to make sure you register your pet so that Council can return your pet to you if they become lost. All cats and dogs living in Kingston need to be registered from three months old. Older animals moving into Kingston must also be registered. Visit kingston.vic.gov.au/pets to find out more.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Drastic action after electric light losses Compiled by Cameron McCullough At last Friday’s meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council further discussion took place relative to the financial position of the electric light undertaking. ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMITTEE MEETING The committee met on the 30th July, 1920. The committee considered the report of the Shire secretary and electric light manager upon the electricity undertaking. Moved by Cr. Brown, seconded by Cr Miles: That the committee adopt the recommendation. The causes of the drift are: (1) That owing to loan funds being exhausted extensions have had to be made out of revenue. (2) That the majority of the houses in the area are now connected with the supply and with only new houses coming on to the system, the profits of installations and sales are insufficient to counteract the loss sustained by selling electricity below cost, and we consider it imperative that all steps should be at once taken to check the drift and place the undertaking on a payable basis. Carried. Moved by Cr. Pratt, seconded by Cr. Miles: That we recommend that the price for electricity for lighting be increased from 9d to 10d. per unit. Carried. Moved by Cr. Pratt, seconded by Cr. Oates: That we recommend that the price for electricity for power be increased to 3d. per unit, but that if any user uses more than 100 units in
any one month such user be charged for that month 2d. per unit for the units used. Carried. Moved by Cr. Miles, seconded by Cr. Montague: That we recommend that the price for street lighting be the same as that charged for ordinary lighting. Carried. Moved by Cr. Miles, seconded by Cr. Pratt: That the, price charged to the Railways Department be the same as that recommended for ordinary lighting. Carried. Moved by Cr. Miles, seconded by Cr. Brown: That we recommend that should any motor, except the motor of the Frankston Palais De Danse Co. be used between the hours of 7pm and 10.30pm on any night, it be charged at lighting rates for that month, otherwise at power rates, and that this be strictly enforced. Carried. Moved by Cr. Brown, seconded by Cr. Armstrong: .That we recommend that all our electricity accounts have printed across the face: “This account must be paid within seven days, otherwise service will be disconnect ed,” and that the electric light manager and Shire secretary be empowered to enforce this recommendation; that where any accounts are owing for more than seven days a final notice be issued, and if the account is not then paid it be placed in solicitor’s hands for collection. Carried. Moved by Cr. Brown, seconded by Cr. Montague: That the committee
adopt the report and recommend the council to adopt the recommendations of the committee as above. Carried. FULL COUNCIL DISCUSSION. CR. J. UNTHANK SURPRISED On Friday last the above reports were submitted to the full council. Cr. J. Unthank said that the fact that the electric light department had run into debt came as a big surprise to the council and also to the ratepayers. They had left this department in the hands of three ridings, and why was it that the matter had not been brought under notice before? He thought the whole council should have been informed before the discussion of handing over to the Electricity Commission was considered. “I see you have decided to increase the price,” continued Cr. Unthank. “How long has it taken to lose this £1170? The matter is very serious. When you stated to an inspector of the Commission the price you were charging he said he did not know how you were supplying it at the price.” Cr. Wells: Extensions out of the electric light revenue instead of from loans caused the overdraft. Extensions should be liquidated by a further loan. Cr. J. Unthank: You cannot go on raising loans. I am a representative of this shire, which is helping to carry the burden, and I ask for enlightenment on this subject today. Cr. Brown: Do you remember a special meeting of the council, when the president placed the matter very

clearly to us, practically informing us that the electric light department was in a bad way – that revenue had to be secured to square the ledger? Cr. J. Unthank:,No, I do not. Cr. Allen: We want a further discussion on this matter. Cr. Oates: There is no harm in allowing a further discussion. We have nothing to fear. Cr. J. Unthank: It is quite clear that certain councillors somersaulted. Cr. May: I would like to correct Cr. Unthank about that remark of councillors somersaulting. It was quite plain the result of the voting. I am out to secure the light down Somerville end, and the position was not as Cr. Unthank says. Cr. Wells: The remark was uncalled for. Cr. Alden: I agree with Cr. J. Unthank. I have been sitting at this table for the last twelve months under the impression that the ledger was being squared and a profit being made. The question is very serious, and we should have been told the exact position. How was it that the manager had put in a report at a previous meeting before we met the Commission? How did that report go before this council about handing over the concern? Cr. Wells: It was a recommendation from the electric light committee. Cr. Oates: It was only a small meeting. Cr. Alden: The manager said in effect: “Do not study me if you want to hand over to the Commission; it will not affect me, as I have been offered a position with them.”

Cr. Wells: That was said verbally. Cr. Alden: We were told by the Commission they could not break the power down, and suggested a depot at Frankston, when in case of a breakdown they would be on the spot. At Dandenong they were too far away. We have been led to be believe that things were alright, and now we find you are in a bad way. Cr. Oates: We are not. Cr. H. Unthank: A white elephant. Cr. Oates: It is nothing of the kind. Cr. Wells: The reduction in the first place was only made as a trial, the public having asked us to do so. Cr. Miles: Oh no, they did not. Cr. Wells: It was put in as trial for six months. Cr. Miles: You are wrong. Cr. Wells: You are speaking about the power, not the light. Cr. Alden: In connection with the report put in by Mr. Quartermain, would it not have been a fair thing for the Commission to have known? Cr. Wells: At the present time there is a shire having considerable trouble with the Commission. Cr. Alden: Who are they? Cr. Wells: This is not the place to divulge it. Cr. Pratt: As far as the supply was concerned, we perhaps did not make a profit, but we did on the installations. Cr. Alden: Did you think the installations would go on for ever? Cr. Pratt: Yes, that is why the light is to be increased now, when we hope that a profit will be made. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 13 August 1926

Junior golfer wins silver at US Championship FRANKSTON South golfer Will Veitch has taken home silver at the US Kids Golf World Championship. The championship took place in Pinehurst, North Carolina from 30 July to 1 August. Seven-year-old Will was tied for the lead after three rounds, before a fourhole playoff decided the title. Will said he was nervous, but it was exciting to get to compete. “It was really cool to play in the World Championship,” said Will. “I was a bit nervous in the playoff, but I just tried my best. I’m really proud of myself.” Will produced a standout performance in the Boys 7 division, carding rounds of 35, 35, and 36 and finishing 2-under par. Will, who is a member of The National Golf Club, was one of only
two players in his division to finish under par. He was accompanied and caddied by his father Nick Veitch, who said he was incredibly proud of his son. “As parents, you couldn’t ask for anything more,” said Nick. “We couldn’t be prouder of the way Will conducted himself all week. Watching him play a four-hole playoff in front of so many spectators, while still smiling and enjoying it all, was incredibly special. Golf just brings out the best in him”. Will was joined in the competition by fellow Melbourne golfer Angelika Britto, who also claimed silver in her respective division. The pair delivered one of Australia’s strongest performances at what is considered one of the world’s premier junior golf tournaments.

MPFNL overturn previous week’s result after review, Rosebud suffer a defeat at the hands of Langwarrin
THE win was out of reach for Frankston YCW who went down to Mt Eliza by 29 points. Picture: Craig Barrett
NEXT WEEK’S GAMES DIVISION ONE MENS SENIORS Saturday 15 August, 2pm: Devon Meadows v Mt. Eliza – Glover Reserve Dromana v Frankston YCW – Dromana Recreation Reserve Rosebud v Edithvale-Aspendale – Olympic Park Rosebud Pines v Langwarrin – Eric Bell Reserve Sorrento v Mornington – David Macfarlane Reserve
MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
MEN’S DIV ONE SEN THE biggest footy drama of the week occurred not on the field, but in the backrooms at MPFNL HQ after the previous week’s draw between Mt Eliza and Dromana was overturned, and the game awarded to the Redlegs. The league relied on a video replay and statements from the umpires to verify an extra point had inadvertently been added to Dromana’s total in the second quarter. After the MPFNL board completed its investigation, clubs were informed on Thursday (6 August) of the revised result. Rosebud suffered only their second loss of the 2026 season at the hands of Langwarrin on Saturday. Their only previous loss being to the Kangaroos earlier in the season. The Kangaroos began the game strongly, hopping out to an early lead in the first after putting on 7.6 to Rosebud’s 1.1. Rosebud won the second quarter but were still far from the lead after scoring 2.3 to Langwarrin’s 1.3. The Kangaroos went into the long break with a 35-point margin. In the third, the ’Buds scored a further 1.1, while the Kangaroos were able to score 3.2, pushing the lead out to 48-points. Rosebud mounted a spirited comeback in the final quarter, slamming on 5.5, and keeping Langwarrin to a single major, but it was too little, too late. In the end, Langwarrin finished on 12.11 (83) to Rosebud’s 9.10 (64), giving Langwarrin the win by 19 points.
Matthew Cumming scored three goals for Rosebud. Matthew Johnson scored three goals for Langwarrin. Mt Eliza secured a win over Frankston YCW. Only one goal separated the Redlegs from the Stonecats at the end of the first quarter, with the latter scoring 3.3 and the former 2.3. Mt Eliza stole the lead in the second after holding Frankston YCW to just six points while scoring 4.4 themselves, leaving Mt Eliza ahead by 16 points at half time. In the third, Mt Eliza scored a further 3.5 to Frankston YCW’s 3.2. The Redlegs continued to climb in the final quarter, scoring 2.7 to the Stonecats’ 1.3. The final result was the Redlegs on 11.19 (85) beating the Stonecats who finished on 7.14 (56); a 29 point margin in favour of Mt Eliza. Joshua Patullo scored three goals for Frankston YCW. Ziggy Toledo scored five goals for Mt Eliza. Mornington’s home ground advantage did not help them in their clash against EdithvaleAspendale, leaving the latter to win. The Eagles flew into the game with a strong start, scoring 5.5 to the Bulldogs’ 1.4. Mornington won the second quarter after scoring 5.3 to Edi-Asp’s 5.0, leaving Edi-Asp ahead by 22 points at half time. In the third, the Eagles soared even further into the lead by adding 5.5 to their total while the Bulldogs were only able to add 2.4. The final quarter saw Edi-Asp score 4.4 to Mornington’s 2.3. This resulted in Edi-Asp taking a 54 point win over Mornington. The final scores were 10.14 (74) to Edi-Asp’s 19.14 (128).
Dromana were able to beat Pines in their clash despite a very close first half. In the first quarter, the Tigers took the lead by a single goal, scoring 3.4 to the Pythons’ 2.4. Pines claimed the lead in the quarter before the long break by scoring 3.3 to Dromana’s 1.4, leaving Pines ahead by five points at half time. Dromana had a very strong third quarter allowing them to start pulling away from Pines. Dromana scored 6.5 to Pines’ 2.0. In the final quarter, the Tigers were able to claw their way to victory by scoring 3.2 to the Pythons’ 4.2, leaving the Tigers (13.15) to win against the Pythons (11.9) by 18 points. William Derrington scored five goals for Pines. Ethan Johnstone scored six goals for Dromana.

Mornington progress to grand final after win over Karingal MPFNL
By Kennedy McCullough
WOMEN’S DIV ONE SEN MORNINGTON are off to the “Big Dance” again, after beating Karingal in their preliminary final on Saturday. Mornington’s only issue on the day was accuracy in front of the big sticks, slotting 11 minors in their score of 35 points. Karingal couldn’t match the Bulldogs’ intensity, with the final scores being 4.11 (35) to 3.3 (21) in Mornington’s favour. The Bulldogs will now face Warragul Industrials in the grand final. It is the third time in three years the two teams have met in the final game of the season with Mornington taking the win in 2025, and Warragul in 2024. The super-charged Industrials have not had a loss all year. On Warragul’s mind, though, will be the close call in the team’s semi-final two weeks ago, when Mornington fell just a single point short. The MPFNL Division One Women’s grand final kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 15 August at Kinetic Stadium.

The Scoreboard
Seagulls’ eyes on VPL2 prize SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie FOUR games remain for Mornington to cling onto second spot in State 1 South-East and earn a play-off with its State 1 North-West counterpart for the right to play in VPL2 next season. It has been a decades-long saga for the Seagulls as the road to compete at an elite level has proven to be a heartbreaking journey. Mornington’s first tilt at promotion from State 1 came in 2014 when the Seagulls finished second to Eastern Lions and only the champions were promoted. For the next two seasons the then NPL became a closed shop with no promotion or relegation as Football Victoria gave its elite clubs an opportunity to consolidate their status. Fate had dealt Mornington a hammer blow for the local club won championships in 2015 and 2016. In 2017 FV returned to promoting the champion teams from State 1 South-East and North-West and Mornington finished second to local rival Langwarrin just one point behind with a superior goal difference. Mornington finished third in 2018 and fifth in 2019 then came the pandemic-ravaged seasons of 2020 and 2021. Ironically Mornington played 13 games in 2021 and when FV pulled the plug on all competitions that season the Seagulls sat on top of their league. For the past four seasons Mornington has finished fourth, third, seventh and third. Last week Mornington played two of three catch-up games the first against Collingwood City on Tuesday at Knox Regional Football Centre then it played Banyule City on Saturday at Centenary Park due to the continuing upgrade at its Dallas Brooks Park headquarters. Mornington turned on a dominant display against Collingwood and was good value for its 2-0 victory. The Seagulls got off to a flyer with Shaun Kenny opening the scoring in the 11th minute. Collingwood cleared from a corner but the ball fell invitingly for Kenny who rifled a stunning strike into the top corner. Buoyed by the opener Mornington took control and created a string of chances with the pressure paying off in the 42nd minute. Kieran Dover gained possession on the edge of the penalty area calmly placing his finish into the bottom cor-

ner to make it 2-0. Collingwood City remained competitive and tested the Mornington defence with a handful of long-range efforts but the visitors controlled possession and territory for much of the opening 45 minutes. The second half followed a similar pattern and a combination of missed opportunities and determined defending from Collingwood kept the scoreline intact. To its credit Collingwood refused to give in and pushed hard in the closing stages. Its best opportunity came in the dying moments but Seagulls’ keeper Kane Runge produced a superb pointblank save to preserve his clean sheet and ensure Mornington returned home with all three points. On Saturday in front of a bumper crowd Mornington drew 1-1 with Banyule City but played the entire second half with 10 men after midfielder Rhys Craigie was cautioned for a second time just before half-time. Banyule started brightly and put Mornington under early pressure but it was the home side that struck first with a moment of individual brilliance in the eighth minute.
A superb move from the back saw Dover clip a ball forward into the path of James Kelly who took one touch before smashing a stunning finish into the net with his weaker foot. Banyule continued to threaten on the break and created several opportunities and Mornington had Runge to thank for its half-time lead when he pulled off a superb save to keep his side in front. Just before the interval Craigie was sent off and momentum was decidedly in Banyule’s favour and two minutes into the second half the visitors struck. Evan Christodoulou’s toe-poked finish from the edge of the area left Mornington in a precarious position. But the Seagulls showed tremendous character with some outstanding blocks and committed defending as they worked tirelessly to protect a point. Lachie Candy was introduced and immediately provided an attacking outlet on the break creating chances and causing problems for the Banyule defence. He came agonisingly close to winning it for Mornington late on when hitting the post in the final minutes. After the match Mornington gaffer
Adam Jamieson conceded that Banyule had been the better side. “I thought we played quite poorly when we had 11 players and we looked very leggy after playing on the Tuesday,” he said. “Having said that I thought the boys worked their butts off in the second half and to get a point with the 10 men was enormous in fact we had a couple of chances to pinch it at the end.” Mornington’s remaining games are against Old Scotch (H), Hampton East Brighton (H), South Springvale (A) and Doveton (A). Both home matches will be played at Civic Reserve. The last three games will be played within seven days and Jamieson is likely to be forced into rotating his starting 11. “It’s a massive ask but it’s within our capabilities,” he said. “We probably have to win all four games.” Currently Mornington is in second spot three points clear of Beaumaris and Banyule with Boroondara Eagles a further point behind. The Seagulls have a vastly superior goal difference compared to the chasing pack and this may prove decisive
as the State 1 season draws to an exciting climax.
