Chamber music in Frankston THE Chamber Philharmonia Cologne is set to travel from Germany to Frankston for a performance next week. The concert will feature works from Antonio Vivaldi, Mozart, Handel and Boccherini. The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne (pictured left) performs 200 concerts each year, regularly touring Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, Spain, and Germany. “Classical Music Around the World is the guiding idea of the ensemble. Whether performing in a small village church, an open-air venue, a cathedral, or a large concert hall, the musicians bring the same passion and dedication to every performance—be it in their hometown of Cologne or in cities such as Sydney,” the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne says. “The aim of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne is simple: to inspire people of all generations to enjoy classical music.” St. Paul’s Anglican Church will host the concert at 8pm on Tuesday, 20 January. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at trybooking.com/DHSJF. Picture: Supplied

Expanded police powers at shops Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au POLICE are exercising expanded powers to conduct weapon searches in Frankston’s CBD. On 8 January, Victoria Police deputy commissioner Robert Hill declared all public places within Bayside Centre in Frankston as a “Designated Area under section 10D of the Control of Weapons Act 1990”. The declaration allows police to search a person for weapons without a warrant - police can conduct electronic wand searches,

vehicle and bag searches, and frisks. The published gazette reads that “a police officer may also exercise their power under the Act to direct a person to leave the designated area if they refuse to remove a face covering and the police officer reasonably believes they are wearing the face covering to conceal their identity or protect themselves from crowd control substances. “A police officer may direct a person to leave the designated area if they reasonably believe that the person intends to engage in conduct that would constitute an affray or violent disorder. (…) It is an offence under the Act to

obstruct or hinder a police officer or PSO in the exercise of a power to stop and search a person or vehicle or to fail to comply with a direction to leave the designated area without a reasonable excuse.” The declaration came into effect at 8am on 12 January, and will expire at 11.59pm on 28 February. The “Designated Area” is bordered by Fletcher Road, Evelyn and Keys Streets, Park Lane and Wells Street, and Young Street. Victoria Police has previously faced criticism for exercising its “designated area” powers. An extended designated area declaration made for Melbourne’s

CBD late last year has been challenged in the Federal Court - Victoria Police revoked that declaration four months before its scheduled completion date last week. When making the Frankston declaration last week, Victoria Police deputy commissioner Hill wrote “I am satisfied of the matters specified in sections 3A(3)(a)-(c) of the Victoria Police Act 2013 in making this declaration.” That section of the Act reads that “the declaration is necessary or desirable for community safety or reassurance of the public” and “is appropriate to assist police to provide a presence at the place

or area specified in the declaration; or to deter crime or antisocial behaviour within the place or area specified in the declaration; or to provide reassurance for the safety of persons moving within, to or from the place or area specified in the declaration. “The exercise of powers by protective services officers at the place or area specified in the declaration will not unduly limit the human rights of any person and in performing their functions and exercising their powers, protective services officers will be supervised by police officers,” the Act reads.

Rail timetable changes on the way Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE Frankston railway line is on track to travel through the city loop once again next month, with 12 extra weekly services set to be added to the timetable later this year. The Metro Tunnel will begin full operation on 1 February, with changes set to be implemented across Victoria’s rail network. From the beginning of next month Frankston line services will return to the city loop, and a new temporary timetable will be put into effect. Going forward Frankston line trains will run via Parliament, Melbourne Central, Flagstaff, Southern Cross, then Flinders Street all day. Services will not continue to Werribee or Williamstown. After the completion of level crossing removal works in Mordialloc, scheduled for mid-2026, an extra 12 weekly services are expected to be added on the Frankston line. The Metro Tunnel services the Cranbourne, Pakenham, and Sunbury lines - it opened on 30 November with a reduced schedule, with the “Big Switch” to full services set for 1 February. To access Metro Tunnel services, Frankston line passengers can switch trains at Caulfield or Malvern. The tunnel avoids the city loop and runs through five new stations in Melbourne’s CBD. The state government has celebrated the trial opening of the Metro

Tunnel as a success, with 70,000 passengers using it on its opening day. In a media release the state government said “the Summer Start timetable is officially in full swing – delivering 240 extra services every week along the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury corridors. This will allow the new infrastructure and technology to

be tested in real world conditions, so bugs can be ironed out without disrupting the rest of the train network before the Big Switch on 1 February fully integrates the Metro Tunnel into the network and delivers an additional 1000 weekly services.” Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan said the project “will unlock capacity

across the network so more trains can run, more often.” “This project is about fairness. It means getting to work, uni and home faster – saving you time, wherever you live,” she said. The Frankston rail line has not run through the city loop since 31 January, 2021. At that time, an extra 45

services a week were added to the Frankston Line (“Rail passengers kept out of the loop” The Times 7/12/2020). For more information on changes to Frankston line services visit transport.vic.gov.au/news-and-resources/ projects/metro-tunnel/more-ways-tomove/frankston

‘Safety risk’ lands builder in hot water A BUILDER has been suspended after inspectors allegedly uncovered 70 building defects at a Carrum Downs townhouse. Inspectors from the Building and Plumbing Commission looked into the site late last year. They allege that 70 defects were found at one townhouse, and that there may have been as many as 500 across the seven townhouses on the site. Following the inspection, the BPC suspended Unik Constructions Pty Ltd. In a statement, the BPC said “the public interest suspension on 206 grounds applies to both the company’s

domestic and commercial building registrations and the personal domestic and commercial registrations of its nominee director Pratheepan Saravanapavan.” “The suspension is in place pending a show cause process and notice which proposes the cancellation and disqualification of all four registrations and a fine totalling $230,000,” the BPC said. “The litany of defects includes several that pose serious safety risks with deficiencies in the fire wall separation framing and other structural issues. The show cause notice also outlines how Saravanapavan provided false

and misleading termite protection work certificates to relevant building surveyors on more than 60 occasions.” BPC commissioner and CEO Anna Cronin said the Carrum Downs site “is one of the worst cases of building work we’ve seen, and we’ve taken action to protect consumers.” “Most builders do the right thing but those who don’t need to realise there’s a new regulator in town who will hold you to account,” Cronin said. “Our new powers coming in next year will further strengthen the regulator, protect consumers and improve confidence in the building industry.”

Lifesavers urge caution for beachgoers MORE lifesavers have been rostered across Victorian beaches amid rising temperatures. The decision to deploy more paid lifesavers came during last week’s heat wave. Life Saving Victoria chief operations officer emergency management capability and response Kirsty Robertson said “no one wants a day by the water to turn to tragedy.” “One drowning is one too many, and we need everyone to do what they can to keep themselves and each other safe. Water safety is everyone’s responsibility,” Robertson said. A Life Saving Victoria report released late last year found that beachgoers in Frankston face a significant drowning risk. Out of 79 Victorian FRANKSTON Beach. Picture: Gary Sissons

municipalities, the Frankston area ranked eighth for drowning deaths. Young people aged between 15 and 24 were the most common victims, and drownings most commonly occurred equally at beaches and in private pools. To stay safe, LSV recommends that beachgoers swim at patrolled locations between the red and yellow flags, supervise children at all times, always swim with a friend, avoid alcohol before going in the water, check conditions, and check the beachsafe app or visit beachsafe.org.au to find a safe swimming location.

Teen arrested during celebrations A FRANKSTON teenager was among those arrested by police during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Melbourne’s CBD. Police had expanded powers to conduct warantless searches for weapons in Melbourne’s city centre on New Year’s Eve. Across the evening police arrested 18 people for various incidents including assaults, driving and property offences, and received 313 fireworks-related reports. Among the arrests was a 17-year-old boy from Frankston. Police say they searched the teenager at Flinders Street Railway Station, and allegedly found an angle grinder, balaclava, gloves and items suspected to be used to break and enter. He was charged and bailed to a children’s court to appear at a later date.

All reported incidents were resolved quickly ensuring no disruption to the wider community. “I want to thank every police officer who assisted across the state to ensure Victorians could enjoy the festivities safely.”

Monitors set for extended stay THE monitors appointed to oversee Kingston Council are set to stay for another six months at ratepayers’ expense. Last year the state government appointed two monitors to report on the council, with their terms scheduled to conclude on 31 December. Shortly before the turn of the new year, the two monitors had their stay extended until 30 June. Shortly after the monitors’ tenure was extended, Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said she was “perplexed” by the decision. She said that council had not been provided with an interim report justifying the extension. “It’s unclear what the justification was for extending the monitors, and councillors are perplexed by the announcement. Nonetheless we will continue to provide the state-appointed monitors with transparency on our strong processes, governance and decision-making,” Cr Oxley said. “Your councillors have been elected to represent our community, be a strong voice for advocacy and to act with independence and integrity. We will continue to lead our community with integrity, and without fear or favour, to deliver the vision for Kingston our community voted for. We look forward to continuing to serve the Kingston community with pride.” Monitors John Tanner and John Watson have

been tasked with assessing “the councillors’ understanding and performance of their statutory roles and responsibilities, including the adequacy of the council’s councillor induction training program and any ongoing professional development opportunities” and “the relationship between councillors and between councillors and council staff, including councillor behaviour with respect to the Model Councillor Code of Conduct and processes for resolving disputes between councillors.” They will prepare a final report for the local government minister once their term expires. (“Monitor appointed to Kingston Council” The Times 22/8/2025) Kingston Council CEO Peter Bean said “council is committed to continuing to deliver excellent services to our community, built on a foundation of good governance and strong customer service.” “Our community can be assured that the solid work of delivering over 100 services to our community continues around the clock,” he said. “This includes our biggest ever capital project – the new Mordi Aquatic Centre – progressing on-time and on-budget, our community rated us highly in the annual satisfaction survey, and we continue to deliver vital community services that many local governments no longer provide including aged care, delivered meals and childcare.”

Weather risk for pets THE RSPCA has issued a warning to animal owners as the Summer heat ramps up. During last week’s hottest day, RSPCA Victoria said it had received 20 heat-related reports. RSPCA Victoria director of veterinary services Dr Melissa Meehan said the “hot and extreme weather conditions pose a serious risk to animal health.” “Heat stroke can develop rapidly and may be life-threatening, with common warning signs including excessive panting, vomiting or diarrhoea, and unusually bright or very pale gums. If you notice these symptoms in your pet or are concerned about their immediate wellbeing, seek veterinary advice immediately,” Meehan said. “Even after the sun goes down and temperatures drop, pets can still be at risk, as heat retained in footpaths and concrete can create hazardous ground-level temperatures. All of your animals must have continuous access to shade, fresh drinking water and adequate ventilation to help cool themselves. “We also recommend bringing any young, senior, unwell, and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds indoors during periods of extreme heat. Hot surfaces can also cause burns to paw pads, so make sure you check the temperature of footpaths with the back of your hand as a simple precaution. If it feels too hot for you, it is too hot for them.”

Shire monitors to commence next week Cameron McCullough cameron@baysidenews.com.au THE two monitors appointed to oversee Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will commence their roles next week. Victorian Minister for Local Government, Nick Staikos, announced on 23 December that two municipal monitors would be appointed to the shire. Municipal monitors Prue Digby and Rebecca McKenzie will be in place for 12 months from 19 January 2026 until 18 January 2027. A press release from the state government said “They will advise, assist, and support the council to improve its governance processes and practices. They will also work with the council to support good governance including in relation to service delivery, the health and wellbeing of councillors and staff, and council meeting procedures and decision making”. Municipal monitors are appointed by the Minister under the Local Government Act s 179, and the cost of the monitors is the responsibility of the shire. Municipal monitors do not replace councillors, the Chief Executive Officer or council staff, but provide independent oversight and report back to the Minister on council governance matters. The appointment comes after a tumultuous 12 months for the shire council that has seen an organisational restructure, appointment of a

new CEO and the aftermath of the McCrae landslip, including a stateappointed board of inquiry. The term has been marked by considerable divisions in the councillor group, with the resulting governance concerns believed to be the catalyst for the appointment.

motions out of order at council meetings in June (Arbiter clears mayor as conduct complaint dismissed, The Times 16/12/25) Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has announced it will cooperate fully with the monitors with their focus remaining on “firmly on delivering projects, services and outcomes for our community”. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s acting CEO, Davey Smith, told The Times “We welcome the experience Prue Digby and Rebecca McKenzie

bring to the role. The organisation will continue to operate in line with its statutory responsibilities, and we will support the monitors as they observe council’s governance arrangements”. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said “This appointment provides an opportunity to reinforce strong governance, ensure clarity around councillor roles and responsibilities, and support the standards of behaviour the community rightly expects from elected

representatives”. In announcing the appointment of the monitors, Nick Staikos said “Victorians expect their councils to maintain a high standard of processes and practices, and these monitors will help the council best serve the Mornington Peninsula Shire community. “Ms Digby and Ms McKenzie have extensive experience working with local government, and I’m confident they will provide good governance and support for council’s decisionmaking procedures.”

ROBSON GREEN: WORLD’S MOST AMAZING WALKS

Sixteen years after Karen and her husband Darrel started the renovations on their charming Queenslander, she’s officially had enough. The couple have raised a family in their Tarragindi home over the past two decades, but life got in the way of finishing several major construction projects. Karen is ready to sell, but Darrel doesn’t want to abandon all the hard work that has gone into creating their dream home. That’s where real estate experts Neale Whitaker and Andrew Winter (above left) come in. While Whitaker reckons the final leg of their reno is a simple undertaking, Winter suggests similar local properties that come without a to-do list.

LETTERS

Letters - 300 words maximum and including full name, address and contact number - can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: letters@mpnews.com.au

Heartfelt thanks To M.G. Free who wrote a heartfelt letter in the last edition for 2025 (I am sorry, Letters 23/12/25). There is indeed a very small Jewish community on the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston, and we are hurting. The last two years have been a very isolating experience. The Australia that I grew up seems to be dissolving around me, and the country in which I am raising my children is not the country I enjoyed as I was growing up. In the weeks since the massacre at Bondi, I have had numerous friends and acquaintances approach me with words of support as I go about my business in the local area. While welcome, I have to wonder why the firebombing of not one - not even two! - synagogues was enough to bring the sympathy out of the woodwork. Has violence become so normalised? Has Jew hatred become so normalised? I have written letters in these pages about people parroting propaganda and vitriol, and warned about the creation of social divisions. Nevertheless, in the past two years there have been some bright spots of support. For example, I am aware of several local church congregations who have been staunch supporters of the wider Jewish community: some who have hosted services; others who have prayed for the release of hostages, and rejoiced in their return. M. G. Free’s letter is the latest bright spot of support and was a welcome way to end 2025. I hope that it augurs well for 2026 and what lies ahead. The Mornington Peninsula is a most beautiful part of the world and I hope to feel welcome here always. Bianca Felix, Bittern

Labor inaction

You’ve got to love failed Labor candidate Marg

D’Arcy. It’s seems like it’s a case of “if the tree falls in the forest and there is no-one there to hear it, then it’s safe to blame the Liberal member for Flinders.” Marg wrote, “Zoe has now politicised the issue by decrying a supposed lack of government action on antisemitism” (Avoid politicisation, Letters 23/12/25). So lets look at how the government has supported Australian Jews. Penny Wong refusing to visit any scenes of the 7/10/23 atrocities while in Israel. Tony Bourke greeting some of the 3000 refugees from Gaza that neighbouring Muslim countries refused to take. Albo excusing those marching in support of Palestine carrying hate flags and chanting anti-Jewish hate slogans as “ their right to protest”. The Prime Minister of Australia choosing to shut his electoral office, rather than front up to the handful of Palestinian supporters who had set up camp on the footpath. Recognising a country at the UN that doesn’t actually exist to appease voters in Albanese and Bourke’s mainly Muslim electorates. You can go on and on but probably most telling and an insight into the weakness of our government, not one member of our government has spoken to Israel’s Prime Minister since the shootings of 14/12/25. M. G. Free, Mt Martha

Royal Commission?

I don’t know whether a Royal Commission or an independent review is the best way to investigate the attack at Bondi. I wondered what other countries have done in investigating such atrocities so I looked to Britain to see how Britain dealt with terrorism. I found that they have never had a Royal Commission into any of their terrorist attacks, not even the Manchester Arena attack which

took the lives of 22 people including nine children, preferring instead to have independent reviews and investigations. I wonder why both sides of politics in Britain prefer not to have Royal Commissions; there must be a reason. Nerida Miller, Mt Martha

Longwood fires

It may be of interest for your readers to know that in the late 1950’s the Boneo Rural Fire Brigade was called to help with the devastating Longwood fires. As a member of the brigade I remember being given a police escort through Melbourne. The Boneo brigade was called to assist because we had the only 4WD (Willys) fire truck in the state. Seven people died in that fire, a family of five were found in their burnt out vehicle trying to escape. We said at the time there should have been more fire breaks - it seems we never learn. On a recent trip along the Hume Highway I commented on the lack of fire breaks. In my opinion it should be compulsory for land owners large or small to have firebreaks installed so as to give brigades a chance of doing “burn backs”. When conditions are bad it is sometimes necessary to fight fire with fire. Lawrence Marshall, ex captain of Boneo

Congratulations

Thanks for your wonderful paper all year. Love the extended letter pages. Great entertainment. A lot of headnodding, fury, and everything in between. Albert Riley’s response was my best fun this week even though I can’t remember what caused Ms Cheers ire except something about his painting skills! Missing Stuart’s contributions. Annette Patrick, Dromana

Balanced letters

I wanted to say how lucky we are to have a local newspaper of the quality of the Mornington News and the related papers on the peninsula.

Unlike most major papers, that tend to lean to the left or the right and publish letters accordingly, the editors at The News remain relatively neutral publishing letters from both sides of the political spectrum and also allow debate to occur between letter writers. I find this almost a unique situation and so wish to congratulate the team and hope that we all have a successful and happy 2026. Ross Hudson, Mt Martha

Community voice

I have been reflecting on the actions of the Adelaide Writers Festival in preventing the Palestinian writer Randah Abdel-Fattah from appearing at the Festival and the widespread condemnation of that by many Australian writers. It made me think how fortunate we are that we have an independent local paper that gives voice to many opposing views and, as far as I know, does not censor views which might be uncomfortable for the paper’s readers. Peter Greste recently commented on X that “We do not help social cohesion by silencing voices”. In a strong democracy like ours we shouldn’t be afraid of having challenging conversations or providing platforms for people who disagree with us, as long as views are presented in a way which is not hateful or, to use that word that appears to be challenging in itself, “racist”. It does appear we have lost the ability to have nuanced conversations, rather we all disappear down our own rabbit holes and stop listening to anything which challenges our world view. I am off now to my local bookshop Antipodes to buy Abdel-Fatah’s novel Discipline so I can choose whether or not I will be offended by her views. Thank you to The News for upholding freedom of speech and providing a voice to some who would otherwise be silenced, even when, like Albert Riley’s contributions, I heartily disagree with them. Marg D’Arcy, Rye

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Seaford Beach Improvements - Tax On Motorists Compiled by Cameron McCullough PUBLIC dressing sheds and conveniences are urgently required on the Seaford beaches. These works are estimated to cost £3000, and the sole income which the foreshore yields is £8 a year from bathing-box sites, of which £4/10/- is used to subsidise the water service. As the Minister for Public Works (Mr. Goudie) has refused to make a grant available for the improvement of the outer bayside beaches, ways and means of raising funds were discussed by the Foreshore Trust of the Frankston and Hastings Shire. “The control of the foreshore has been placed in the hands of the Foreshore Trust,” said the Frankston Shire secretary (Mr. J. A. P. Ham) today. “The Trust is engaged in the beautification of the foreshore. It has been arranged to build public dressing sheds, and it is hoped that these and conveniences will be ready soon. Public bathing boxes have been built at Frankston. All revenue from the Foreshore Trust’s activities is devoted to this purpose.” It was decided to impose a parking fee of 1/- on all vehicles which stopped in the Seaford Road park. This imposition was resented by some of the visiting motorists during the New Year weekend, but the revenue from the fee will be devoted towards beach beautification. About £30 has been raised in this way already, and with this the work of beach improvement has been begun. Cr. Miles, who has been in close touch with the position during the holidays, says that the 1/- tax has

been willingly paid by the great majority of motorists, some of whom have sought him out to offer congratulations on the enterprise of the Foreshore Trust. *** Electric Light Report At the last meeting of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Council the electric light manager (Mr. D. J. Quartermain) submitted the following report: I beg to report for month of December as follow: I have completed 14 new installations for the month. Total amount of installation work completed for the month was £257/3/6; I also connected 27 new consumers to the supply. I have also erected six electric light poles and run cables for same. In regard to making a survey of the possibilities of electric light reticulation and probable consumers to the Somerville, Tyabb and Hastings districts, I have been very busy this month, and have not had the time to go into this matter, but will have all particulars for next meeting. *** Another Railway Accident Mr. William Cook, a well known builder and contractor on the Peninsula, and his son, Mr. George Cook, a popular Mornington footballer of a couple of seasons ago, were badly injured in a railway accident at Point Nepean road crossing, near the Tanti sale yards, at Mornington, on Tuesday morning. They had both been spending the holidays with their family in their Mornington home, and were just leaving on a journey to Gippsland in their

Overland car. The rail motor was returning from its early morning trip to Frankston at 8.30, with a few passengers on board. Mr. George Cook was driving the motor car and was apparently unaware of the rail motor approaching and a collision occurred on the crossing. The rail motor struck the car, carrying it over the pits and flung it off a shapeless mass with the unfortunate occupants badly injured. Both Mr. Wm. Cook and his son were seriously hurt, and the motor ambulance was summoned to convey them to Nurse Talbot’s private hospital, where Dr. Edgeworth Somers found both to be in a critical condition. Mr. William Cook had sustained concussion and severe shock, also a dislocated and fractured hip, whilst Mr. George Cook was in a worse state, and was suffering from cerebral irritation, with possible fracture of skull, ear almost severed, lacerations on scalp, general severe shock. In this critical condition he lay all day and part of the night, and at about 3 o’clock on Wednesday morning he died, much to the regret of all who knew him, for he was a fine young fellow. The rail motor was derailed, and was with difficulty got back on the line in a damaged condition. Traffic was held up and motors ran the 9am trip to Frankston and also at 1.40. The incoming Mornington steam train was delayed, and could not enter the station till near midday. The driver of the rail motor said the men in the car did not appear to

Plant Sale $8.95 NANDINA DWARF

notice the train until they were a few yards off. The car was travelling at a fair speed. He was doing 15 to 20 miles an hour. He had been sounding his horn and bell for about 150 yards, and in addition to that the electric signal at the crossing was ringing and had its arm waving backwards and forwards. The driver of the motor car, after making a frantic effort to get across the line, put his brakes on and turned partly in towards the cattle pit, when the rail motor caught it, smashing it to pieces, with Mr. George Cook pinned beneath it. It was a most regrettable ending to the very pleasant holiday which the Messrs. Cook had spent at Mornington, and sympathy with them in their misfortune, also with Mrs. Cook and family, was freely expressed. Mrs. Davies, wife of Mr E. P. Davies, of Bay street, Frankston, was one of the passengers in the rail motor. She with the other occupants escaped with a severe shock. *** Personal We regret to learn that Cr. J. L. Pratt is indisposed. Mrs. Wauchope, of Dandenong, officiated as judge of fancy work at the Frankston Show. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Shepherd senr., were present at the Frankston Show on Wednesday, Mrs. Shepherd kindly officiating as one of the judges with Mrs. C. Grant. The Minister of Lands (Mr. Downward) this week left Melbourne for Wodonga, where he will inspect areas infested with St. John’s Wort. Mr. and Mrs. James Grice of

“Moondah,” Frankston celebrated their golden wedding on Tuesday last. They were the recipients of many presents and messages of congratulation. Master Murray Maxwell, a Frankston native and a son of Dr. and Mrs. C. Maxwell, now a pupil at Geelong Grammar school has been successful in passing the six necessary subjects of the Intermediate Examination of the University of Melbourne. Mr. Alfred Montague, of Camberwell is at present spending a holiday with his son, Cr. P. Montague of Mt. Eliza. Although 89 years of age, Mr. Montague is one of Melbourne’s leading musicians and on his return intends resuming his professional duties. Mr. R. T. Picking, who is a regular attendant at the Frankston Show, and one of its most valued committeemen, made a record trip to be present at the annual gathering last Wednesday. He was at Lake Borna on Monday, and travelled 300 miles to reach his home town by Wednesday. Messrs. Chas. and Percy Thornell, of Somerville, were present at the Frankston Show on Wednesday. They are successful fruitgrowers,and when Mr. Chas. Thornell says that the fruit crop in Somerville this year is the best that has been experienced for many seasons, the fact is worthy of record. Mr. Percy Thornell stated on Wednesday that if the Frankston Show was held a month later he would guarantee 100 entries in the fruit section. *** From the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 8 & 15 January 1926

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Tales of a Gradual Graduation By Stuart McCullough Things have changed. When I completed primary school, I was handed a can of no-name soft drink before someone turned me in the general direction of the gate and gave me a gentle shove to see me on my way. I immediately set about furiously shaking the can in the hope of causing it to explode. After hurling it from the top of the monkey bars the tin split, spraying discount soda in all directions. Bathed in satisfaction and soft drink and with a line of ants trailing eagerly behind me, I set off in search of secondary school. It was simple. It was cheap. It took about fifteen minutes in total. Not anymore. Now completing primary school is an event that rivals weddings, funerals and the Nobel ceremony in terms of grandeur and, indeed, length. I attended a grade six graduation ceremony last week and I feel as if I have just relived all seven years of primary education in the course of an evening. The ceremony was the last event in a day that included a guard of honour, a twenty-one-gun salute and (possibly) a performance by the Holden Precision Driving Team in the school carpark. I thought that each family would be seated together. However, it quickly became clear that groups of twelveyear-olds were taking control of entire tables to the complete exclusion of anyone who might be considered an adult. Clearly, the kids were in charge. Fuelled by name-brand cola and other fizzy drinks, spirits and

PAGE 16

Frankston Times

blood sugar levels were high. It was noisy and chaotic beyond belief, but in the best way possible. The school hall shuddered with excitement. There were speeches. Lots of them. Without exception, each address began with an inspirational quote. Some chose former American Presidents. I assumed that students steered clear

13 January 2026

of the current American President because he’s notably deficient in the “inspirational quote” department. Others chose great writers like Maya Angelou. One brave soul quoted Friedrich Nietzsche and struggled valiantly with the pronunciation. All of them thanked friends and supporters for getting them this far and each

expressed disbelief that their journey had come to an end. They were the kind of speeches you might expect from someone who’d won an Oscar or was leaving rehab. Twelve years old is an interesting age. Some kids were clearly well on their way to being long-limbed teenagers, while others were still waiting for their growth spurt to turn up. Students took turns to line up with their parents for a photo before vanishing back to the “Lord of Flies” table which looked and sounded like heaps more fun than the grown-ups table. I kind of envied them. Indeed, the tables had turned. No such ceremony would be complete without a PowerPoint presentation. In this instance, it featured two photos – one taken in Prep, the other in Grade six, along with (of course) an inspirational quote and a description of the job they wanted to hold when they grew up. In terms of career aspirations, about fifty percent of the 12-year-old boys wanted to be a professional AFL player while as smaller number had opted for the, perhaps, more achievable goal of being a sports journalist; presumably to report on AFL. Some kids balanced the aspirational with the pragmatic and nominated careers from each end of the spectrum. Thus, a number of students declared that they dreamt of being either a ballerina or an architect. I’ve no idea what I would have said at that age. To be honest, at twelve years old I probably wanted to be Flash Gordon, which would have looked pretty silly

had it been broadcast to a room full of people as part of a PowerPoint presentation. Hats off, though, to the kid who cited as his career goal “unemployment”, a response that struck the rare balance of being both hilarious and imminently achievable. There was, of course, a flash mob. That is, a moment when kids in all their graduation finery streamed onto the floor to perform a choreographed dance to a piece of music I’d never heard before. There was no such thing as a “flash mob” when I was that age. In fact, the only mob event at primary school we ever experienced is when they decided to give away cartons of near-expired milk from the canteen – for some reason the promise of free but soon to perish milk drove people into a frenzied state. There were awards, more speeches from students, speeches from state and federal politicians - all of whom had apparently come to the blinding realisation that children really are the future which, I’m sure, is something that no-one in the course of human history had ever previously considered. And then, after many hours, several birthdays and more rounds of applause than I can count, it was over. That is, until the after party where, no doubt, each child would be presented with a no-name can of soft drink and pointed in the general direction of the gate and given a gentle push. It was loud, messy and glorious in the best way possible. Good luck to them all. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The VAL (Victorian Athletic League) providing the professional administration of the events timing, handicaps etc. The shire management and preparation of the oval and running surface must be congratulated on producing what many competitors and parents said was a running track second to none. The day kicked off at 8am with a record number of junior athletes competing in heats for the Junior Gift; 130 juniors from all over Victoria registered and turned up to compete. A stunning run from local nine year old girl Violet Seith from Southern Peninsula Little Athletics saw her win the girls handicap junior gift. Boys junior gift winner was 12 year old competitor Jacob Guyett from Diamond Creek. Lunch for the near 100 sponsors and guests was hosted and prepared by the Rye Cricket Club led by Jackie and Ross McKenzie a contribution of over 30 years.

The Scoreboard

Elliott, Baldwin in the spotlight SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie JACK Elliott’s return to Baxter and the second annual Billy Baldwin Memorial Day are upcoming highlights on the local scene. Elliott has been a wanted man ever since walking away from the sport to concentrate on HYROX, a global fitness racing sport that combines eight kilometres of running with eight functional workout stations creating a consistent, indoor challenge testing strength, endurance and stamina. He has qualified for the Pro singles and Pro doubles events at the world championships in Switzerland in June and will be part of an Australian contingent expected to number over 100 at the prestigious event. Last week Baxter hired him as its Head of Performance manager and harbours ambitions to get him back out on the pitch in club colours. “I won’t be playing at this stage but possibly after the world champs in June,” Elliott said. He’ll run Tuesday night strength and conditioning sessions at Baxter as well as matchday activations and warm-ups and oversee extra training at a local gym. No doubt diehard Baxter fans are keen to see Elliott pull on the boots again. The world champs finish on 21 June so Elliott could be seen in a Baxter strip in the club’s round 13 away clash with King’s Domain. Frankston Pines will host the Billy Baldwin Memorial Day on Saturday 24 January. The son of Pines’ head coach Al Baldwin and wife Kim died on 20 June 2024 from brain and spinal cancer. He was 21 years old and had played for Mornington and Mount Martha. Pines announced last week that it would host the event and Kim Baldwin penned a moving obituary as part of the announcement. “Billy endured 11 major spine and brain surgeries, 72 fractions of radiation therapy, six months of chemotherapy, three months of immunotherapy, four months of alternative therapy, one clinical trial and countless MRIs, blood tests and doctor appointments all while suffering unimaginable neuropathy (nerve pain) and other debilitating symptoms,” she wrote. “This hideous, destructive disease progressed until our son was incapacitated. “Words fail to describe watching your child slowly dying in front of you and you are powerless to do anything about it.

In the news: Baxter announced Jack Elliott (left) as Head of Performance manager last week and Frankston Pines will host the second Memorial Day for the late Billy Baldwin. Pictures: Supplied

“Billy’s hope (when he was better) was to help other people in the same situation and raise as much money as he could for brain cancer. “Unfortunately, he was never able to fulfil that dream. “Billy’s love, strength and determination was unrelenting, and we try our best to draw from his strength. “Please join us and help raise much needed funds for the Charlie Teo Foundation (https://charlieteofoundation.org.au). “Without more brain cancer research there will continue to be no treatment options for our loved ones and survival rates will remain stagnant as they have for the last 50 years.” The day features three matches between Pines and Mornington. At 11am a legends match kicks-off with 25-minute halves. A women’s match kicks-off at 12.15am with 30-minute halves and a senior men’s match starts at 1.45pm (45-minute halves).

Pines have mapped out their preseason senior men’s program and will play Rosebud at Monterey Reserve on Saturday 7 February, 4pm and 6pm; Somerville Eagles at Monterey Reserve on Saturday 21 February, 4pm and 6pm; Lyndale Utd at Monterey Reserve on Saturday 7 March, 4pm and 6pm; and Ashburton Utd at Monterey Reserve on Saturday 14 March, 4pm and 6pm. Langwarrin has three friendlies and the 2026 Wallace Cup to contest prior to the start of the VPL1 league season on Saturday 14 February when it hosts North Sunshine Eagles at 7pm at Lawton Park. Last weekend Langwarrin downed Malvern City 1-0 with Brad Blumenthal scoring the winner. This Saturday Langy takes on Oakleigh Cannons at Lawton Park at 11am seniors, 1pm under-23s and 3pm under-20s. On Saturday 24 January Langy hosts Bayside Argonauts at Lawton

Park at 11am. Langy hosts the Wallace Cup on Saturday 31 January and on Saturday 7 February travels to Gardiner’s Creek Reserve to take on Eastern Lions (KO times announced closer to the date). Here are some upcoming friendlies for other local clubs: SKYE UTD On Thursday 22 January v. Endeavour Utd, Reema Reserve, 7.30pm; Saturday 7 February v.
