Visitor Centre fire investigated Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au AN investigation is underway after a fire engulfed the Frankston Visitor Information Centre. The vacant site at Pier Promenade went up in flames on Sunday, 13 September. Firefighters soon arrived to

extinguish the blaze before investigators moved in. In a statement, Frankston mayor Sue Baker said “Frankston City Council would like to thank Victoria Police, Frankston Fire Brigade, and Fire Rescue Victoria for their response.” “Emergency services responded and brought the fire under control.

Thankfully, no one was injured,” Cr Baker said. “The building has been secured, and an investigation is underway. We ask community members to avoid the immediate area and follow the directional signage. Public toilets near the affected building have been temporarily closed. The closest available public toilets are located along Pier Promenade.

“If you witnessed the incident or have any information that may assist with the investigation, we encourage you to contact Victoria Police.” The Visitor Centre site is vacant, however earlier this year a planning application for the site was filed by Ecco Enterprises Group to transform the site into a Mediterranean-style restaurant.

One Nation enters Frankston contest ONE Nation has named its candidate for Frankston at the upcoming state election. Paul Stafford was announced as One Nation’s candidate by the party last week. He said “I want to restore Australia’s “can-do” spirit. One that rewards hard work, respects Australian culture and gives people the opportunity to build a better future.” Stafford’s profile on the One Nation website reads “Paul arrived in Australia from the UK in the late 1980s after

completing a hospitality qualification and building a career with some of the UK’s leading breweries. He immediately felt that Australia was home. After working with some of Australia’s biggest hospitality and entertainment companies, Paul moved to Victoria in the late 1990s and has called the state home ever since. “Over the course of his career, Paul has worked alongside leading Australian entrepreneurs and hospitality operators. For the past decade, he has

operated his own business, managing teams, taking financial responsibility and gaining firsthand experience of running a business in Victoria.” Six other candidates are expected to run for Frankston: Paul Edbrooke (Labor), Bree Ambry (Liberals), Katie Goulas (Greens), Chrysten Abraham (Independent), Andrew Cheesemen (Victorian Socialists), and Julie Harman (Animal Justice).

Calls to address ‘homelessness crisis’ COUNCILS across the south-east of Victoria have issued a renewed call for more government intervention to reduce homelessness. Representatives from advocacy group Greater South East Melbourne, the Community Housing Industry Association Victoria, and Launch Housing gathered last week to call for more support to tackle a shortage of social and affordable housing. GSEM Chair Simon McKeon said “councils across Melbourne’s south east are seeing the impacts of the housing and homelessness crisis firsthand.” “Across our region, councils and communities are grappling with a real and visible increase in homelessness and rough sleeping,” he said. “Local services are under pressure and communities are increasingly concerned about the impacts on safety and wellbeing. This is not something councils can solve on their own. “Safe and affordable housing is the foundation for strong and connected communities. When government invests in housing, the benefits are felt across the entire community. It improves outcomes for vulnerable people, reduces pressure on services and helps ensure our growing region remains liveable for everyone.” GSEM advocates for projects across eight southeast Victorian municipalities, including Frankston, Kingston, and the Mornington Peninsula. It said in a statement that “South East Melbourne recorded the second highest number of homeless clients in Australia in 2023-24, with 9,980 people seeking support. The region also recorded the second highest number of people at risk of homelessness and the third highest number of people experiencing homelessness.” Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker attended last week’s meeting to offer her support. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Stephen Batty also voiced his support after the event, saying “homelessness services are the state government’s responsibility, but its lack of action has forced councils to fill the gap. “Our community needs more than promises—it needs candidates to commit to urgent investment in affordable and social housing.”

Kidney donation offers second chance AFTER receiving a kidney transplant in 2022, Carrum Downs resident Kaitlyn Steavenson is gearing up to compete at the Australian Transplant Games. Steavenson spent nearly 15 years on dialysis before receiving a transplant. She said that prior to her procedure that “life had become about survival rather than living.” “I needed to sleep all the time. I hardly had a life – I was just existing,” she said. The upcoming Transplant Games in Launceston will be Steavenson’s second. She came away from her first event in 2024 with eight medals. “My best memories were participating, making new friends and experiencing the incredible community spirit,” Steavenson said. Stories like Steavenson’s shine a light on the importance of organ donation. Currently just 28 percent of residents in the Frankston municipality and 35 percent living on the Mornington Peninsula are registered as organ and tissue donors. DonateLife Victoria state medical director Dr Rohit D’Costa said “a recent community survey shows 90 percent of Victorians support organ donation, but less than one quarter have registered to be a donor.” ‘It doesn’t matter how old or healthy you are – you can still register as an organ and tissue donor. Registering is quick, easy and only takes one minute,” D’Costa said. “Victoria has one of the lowest registration rates in the country at 23 percent, compared to a national rate of 36 percent. I’m urging all Victorians to please register as an organ and tissue donor. Then, tell your family you want to be a donor - someone’s life depends on it.” To register visit donatelife.gov.au/registerdonor-today

STATE ELECTION 2026

Minor party candidates locked in MORE candidates from across the political spectrum have nominated to contest Mordialloc and Carrum at the upcoming state election. Labor currently holds both seats, with Tim Richardson and Sonya Kilkenny elected to represent Mordialloc and Carrum respectively in 2014. They will both re-contest their seats in November, with the Liberals announcing Paul O’Halloran as Mordialloc candidate and Jeff Shelley as Carrum candidate last month. Last week, One Nation announced that bus driver Joshua Mathews would be the party’s candidate for Carrum. Nurse Nadia Ticehurst was announced as One Nation’s Mordiallic candidate. The Greens have also entered the race for the bayside seats, announcing hospitality worker Zoe Pegrum as Carrum candidate and software developer Alex Breskin as Mordialloc candidate. Mahee Hossain is expected to contest Mordialloc for the Victorian Socialists.

Sisters fundraise for cancer cause SISTERS Jodie Hayes and Tracey Maguire are hoping to push their lifetime fundraising total for Cancer Council Victoria past $100,00 when they host their annual Girls Night In this October. Hayes, who lives in Carrum Downs, says she has been fundraising with her sister for more than a decade. She said “fifteen years ago, we never imagined our Girls’ Night In would grow into what it is today. Each year we’re reminded just how many people have been touched by cancer and how willing our community is to come together to support one another.” The recent loss of a friend to cancer has strengthened to sisters’ resolve to help. Hayes said “in the past 12 months, we lost a close friend to breast cancer, which has reinforced why being involved in Girls’ Night In is so significant for us both. We’re incredibly proud to be approaching a milestone fundraising target for Cancer Council Victoria, but more importantly we’re proud of the conversations, connections and support that our event creates amongst our community of friends and supporters. “We’d encourage anyone thinking about hosting a Girls’ Night In to give it a go. It’s a great way to come together with those you love to do something meaningful and personally rewarding.” Cancer Council Victoria’s head of individual and community giving, Natalie Gibbs, said “over the past decade, Girls’ Night In participants and supporters have helped raise more than $1.6 million, but with more

than 7,200 Victorian women expected to be diagnosed with breast or gynaecological cancers this year, we know there’s still so much more work that needs to be done. That’s what makes community-led campaigns like Girls Night In so important. “Every dollar raised helps drive the next generation of research break-

throughs and innovations in treatment and care, while also helping Cancer Council Victoria deliver prevention programs that encourage women to reduce their cancer risk and participate in life-saving cancer screening.” For more information on hosting a Girls’ Night In, visit girlsnightin.cancervic.org.au JODIE Hayes and Tracey Maguire will host a fundraising event next month.

Residents oppose glass bin mandate KINGSTON Council is urging the state government to reconsider the introduction of glass recycling bins after a survey revealed that 85 percent of residents oppose the idea. The state government is mandating that Victorian councils introduce the bin by July 2027, meaning most residents will have four bins. A statement issued by Kingston Council read that it estimates the project will cost ratepayers $4 million upfront, with annual ongoing costs of $27 per household. A recent survey conducted by 35 Victorian councils, which recieved nearly 25,000 responses, found that 83 percent of people opposed the proposed glass-only bin and 91 percent supported expanding the Container Deposit Scheme to include glass wine and spirit bottles. 85 percent of Kingston residents were opposed to the glass bin and 96 percent preferred the Container Deposit Scheme proposal. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “Kingston residents have been very clear that they want a smarter approach to glass recycling, not another bin at

the kerbside.” “We’re already seeing the benefits of the Container Deposit Scheme, with less glass going into household recycling bins. Adding another bin to every property, along with another collection service, is an expensive response to what is now a much smaller problem. Many Kingston households simply don’t have room for a fourth bin, and we’d also see more collection trucks on our local roads, adding to traffic and environmental impacts,” Cr Oxley said. “The community is telling us there is a better way forward. Expanding the Container Deposit Scheme to include wine and spirit bottles would build on a system that is already working, rather than creating another costly kerbside service. “We absolutely support recycling and reducing waste, but we also have a responsibility to make sure we are delivering services that provide real value for our community. We’re asking the state government to listen to what councils, and our communities are telling them and reconsider the current approach.”

A PETITION calling for a permanent Victorian government subsidy for the Searoad Ferries service between Sorrento and Queenscliff has been launched. The petition is requesting the state government investigate a subsidy or concession for eligible Mornington Peninsula and Bellarine Peninsula residents who frequently use the service. Frankston resident Marita Ryan, who started the petition, said the ferry could be incredibly useful for residents on both sides of the bay; however, the cost impacts its accessibility. “We have two communities that are separated by a relatively short stretch of water, and I think the ferry provides a really direct connection between them instead of having to drive the whole way around the bay,” said Ryan. “I just felt that if the government could support making it more affordable, more local people might use it.” A one-way ticket from Sorrento to Queenscliff including a vehicle currently costs $89. “It’s too much at the moment,” said Ryan. “People say ‘stuff it’ and drive around instead.” Ryan said conversations with fellow residents had highlighted just how strongly the issue is felt across the community. “I’d like the Victorian government to seriously investigate whether a permanent resident subsidy, not just a one-off, but a permanent resident

subsidy, or concession is feasible,” said Ryan. Ryan said she contacted Mornington MP Chris Crewther, who helped her tweak the petition prior to it being lodged. Crewther said he is in support of Ryan and her petition. “Other states, such as NSW, provide public subsidies towards ferry services as another form of public transport,” said Crewther. “There is huge potential for ferries within Port Phillip, not just between Sorrento and Queenscliff, or between Port Arlington and the CBD, but also between other locations including Mornington.” Crewther said he believes the government should consider subsidies, particularly for residents of the peninsula, Queenscliff, and Geelong who regularly travel between each location. “Otherwise, it can be a long drive with a high petrol expense,” said Crewther. “But also, for older residents and other people who might not be able to as easily afford the fare for passengers and vehicles.” If the petition reaches 10,000 signatures, it can trigger a debate in parliament. The petition currently has close to 450 signatures. “I hope that if you feel the same way I do, please sign it because the more people who sign it, the more the government has to take it seriously,” said Ryan. You can find more information or sign the petition at: parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/ petitions/public-subsidy-for-the-searoad-ferriesservice-between-sorrento-and-queenscliff/.

Shed fire prompts spring battery safety warning

Frankston Times

22 September 2026

CFA is reminding Victorians to take extra care when charging lithium-ion battery-powered devices and equipment this spring, following a significant shed fire in Somerville. The fire is believed to have started from the battery of a robotic lawn mower that was charging inside the shed. With Victorians becoming more active outdoors, in the garden and around the home as the weather warms up, extra care should be taken as mowers, power tools and other lithiumion battery-powered equipment are used and charged more frequently. Crews from Somerville, Tyabb, Somers and Baxter fire brigades responded to the incident on Friday 11 September. Somerville Captain Josh Caron said lithiumion battery incidents were becoming an increasingly common challenge for firefighters. “Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere now

and they’re part of our lives, so it’s about how we manage them and make sure we’re charging them safely,” J,said Caron. “With spring here, people will be getting back outside and using things like mowers, power tools and other battery-powered equipment more often. “Don’t leave batteries charging unattended or overnight. Only use the correct charger for that product and if something is on charge, make sure you’re around and able to act if something goes wrong. “This incident just highlights how quickly a fire involving batteries could develop, particularly in sheds and garages where tools, equipment and other combustible materials may be stored. Caron also encouraged people to consider installing interconnected smoke alarms in garages and sheds to provide an early warning if a fire starts.

ORIGINAL GANGSTERS WITH SEAN BEAN SBS2, 8.30pm

When Sean Bean (pictured) appears on-screen, mortal peril usually isn’t far behind. The iconic British actor has at least 25 deaths to his name across ﬁlm and television. Rest assured, Bean remains safe and sound throughout this four-part documentary exploring history’s greatest gangsters. Blending reenactments with exclusive interviews and some of the most notorious true-crime stories of all time, the series uncovers new details about Al Capone, the Peaky Blinders and more. This week, groundbreaking Harlem racketeer Stephanie St. Clair is in focus.

From food-loving farmers to bold bogan besties and a seriously chic creative couple, this 16th season of MKR has it all. Showcasing the country’s funny, friendly and feisty home cooks, this year’s competition focuses on real people and the dishes they love to serve. It begins in the Gold Coast hinterland, where wholesome mother-daughter team Krysten and Lucy (pictured) are ready to impress with their instant restaurant, Puggles – named for the baby platypuses that live in their nearby creek. While their beef tartare entrée and paella main aim to set the bar high, the proof will be in the pudding when self-taught baker Lucy serves her signature mangococonut croissant puff sweet rice dessert.

Step Into Cabello – Where Everyday Comfort Meets Effortless Style.

School’s out for the real students right now, but class is just getting started for six of Australia’s cheekiest comedians. In a new competition show ﬁlmed on location at an actual Sydney school, Matt Okine, Becky Lucas, Dave Hughes, Nina Oyama, Luke McGregor and Bron Lewis pair up to take on a variety of challenges and assessments related to school subjects. Principal Julia Morris (pictured) is in charge of dishing out points and punishments. As with Taskmasters, the same contestants stick around all season, so expect friendly rivalries to develop. 2509

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

Where do you think you came from? I was interested to read the letter by Dr Sarah Russell (“Go back to where you came from”, Letters, 1/9/26). It was great to see her calling out the issue of anti-migrant sentiment. It flabbergasts me that in a country like Australia that people express anti-migrant sentiment. Unless you are of Aboriginal origin, where do you think you came from? Your forebears were migrants to Australia. We came from European countries, mainly England, Scotland and Ireland, in the early days and brought our culture and religion. We did not adopt Aboriginal culture, religion and language. We just imposed ours. You could say that our success in assimilation was appalling. Pauline Hanson expects migrants to drop their culture, something we did not do ourselves. So, no pats on the back to us. A recent hospital stay made me realise just how dependent we are on migrant skills and expertise. In all areas of staffing, a huge proportion were of migrant origin. If migrants went back to where they came from I think our health system would collapse. Waiting times would blow out. And I was impressed by the skill and care I received. I suspect the same is true in many fields. People from other countries are at heart, the same as us. They have the same feelings, hopes, fears and needs. The experience of being alive is the same for all people. And the suffering is the same too. We do not have a migrant problem. Rather, as I heard elsewhere, we have a planning problem. There is enough for all if the planning is right. Janet Turnbull, Mornington

Conservation problem

The government has decided to cash up excess defence land which includes HMS Cerberus surrounding land where the Powerful Owl has its territory and is resident on the land where it nests in hollows of trees (“Cerberus land sale could impact rare owl species”, The News, 15/9/26) As with many land sales where developments can and want to happen suddenly there is a rare bird or animal which resides in the proposed sale or proposed development. In the past developers who wish to build housing who have purchased land and suddenly there was discovered the earless dragon and the land has been declared a conservation zone to protect it so the housing development will not go ahead. Jess Wilson the leader of the opposition in Victoria wants to expand Melbourne to fix the housing crisis and of course this will include green wedges and farms being developed to create new suburbs. The Carroll government wants to build highrise around public transport hubs where existing services exist and not expand Melbourne such as the Suburban Rail Loop corridor. The coalition says supply is needed to to fix the housing crisis and it is not only immigration and therefore land is required for development. Small farms are now up for sale along the Cranbourne Frankston Road to cash in on the housing shortage. A decision needs to be made as to whether conservation should become a priority or housing as we cannot have both. Of course as far as Cerberus is concerned councils and the state government has no power over the sale of HMAS Cerberus land. So it will be interesting to see if Jess Wilson’s housing will end up being totally bogged down by conservation and giving local government the power to stop developments and giving residents power to appeal to VCAT. Russell Morse, Karingal

Election time

It is springtime and there must be the smell of an election in the air. Why else would a failed Labor candidate put pen to paper and get on about her pet subject? Anybody or anything who is not a Laborite will be reminded by Marg that they have skeletons or such in their cupboard.

It would appear that One Nation is selecting “Joe Blows”, and ex-druggie, and even lawyers and other forward thinking people who will fight to keep Australia from becoming a future Islamic country. The Labor Party are ex shop stewards, with no real job experience. There needs to be a mass exodus of the whole judicial system to replace the current Labor appointees in every state. When the High Court of Australia cannot tell the difference between a person who sits down to pee or a person who stands up and leaves the seat up then we have no hope. Marg D’Arcy, give it a rest. Graham Griffiths, Rye

Road to nowhere

Oh dear! One of the first lessons I learnt about these letter pages is the five or six day gap between writing the letter and the actual publication. Someone who has just learnt that lesson is Marg D’Arcy (“Pot holes not the only priority”, Letters, 15/9/26). Marg had many choices of subjects when trying to make a silk purse out of the pigs ear that is Victorian Labor like how homelessness on the peninsula has gone from 105 to 157 in 12 months, $15b allegedly rorted from the Big Build, hospital ramping and so on but chose to try and put a bandaid on potholes. On the day Marg’s letter was published the papers were still full of the death of a motorcycle rider caused by a pothole and worse, Marg singled out the Princes Hwy as, in her words, being “quite good”. Problem being the RACV had just released a report with Victorias top 20 most dangerous roads and there at numbers one and two were sections of the Princes Hwy with another section also in the top 20. Marg also mentioned Labor’s commitment to renewables. With Labor’s signature off-shore wind farm on hold through lack of finance, The Western Renewables Link has now been put on hold because “of increasing concerns over costs”. Enough said. M. G. Free, Mt Martha

Interstate experience

I AM pleased Marg D’Arcy had the opportunity to travel on the roads through several states. However, her claims Victoria is no worse than other states indicates she had a very different experience to me (“Pot holes not the only priority”, Letters, 15/9/26) I travelled to Adelaide, then through the MidNorth and Flinders Ranges in SA, then across to outback NSW. I found the standard of roads in SA and NSW to be almost pothole-free, and consistently much higher than in Victoria, where potholes are numerous – and often large - even on major highways. Additionally, a high percentage of Victorian road surfaces have started exhibiting “crocodile scales” – the surface cracking that immediately precedes the break-up of the entire road surface. Sadly, this negligence of our roads by the Victorian state government has now caused the death of a motorcyclist on the Western Hwy at Trawalla, and my thoughts are with his family and friends. It is unbelievable – and unforgivable - that road maintenance has been neglected to this extent on a major inter-capital highway. This neglect of taxpayer assets, to the point that lives are at risk, clearly demonstrates that the current state government cannot be trusted to manage either public money or assets. Marg also mentioned climate change and suggests that the current state government offers hope. This government couldn’t care a hoot about climate change and seems happy to ignore the threat of more and larger bushfires. Our front-line bushfire-fighting service, CFA, has had its annual budget cut by the state government in real terms for each of the last five years. In many cases, volunteer firefighters are driving around in old trucks that belong in

museums, not on the front line. With an imminent mega-El Nino summer, what excuses will Ben Carroll roll out to justify the inevitable consequences of his government’s neglect of the CFA? Eric Collier, Somerville

Pothole art?

Perhaps if the authorities responsible for our road maintenance are too short of time and money to repair our burgeoning potholes they could enlist time rich “Taggers” with assorted colours of spray paint. These graffiti virtuosos could then travel our bitumen tracks and decorate each pit they come across, saving lives and costly repairs and creating a feast for our eyes! Bruce Wearing-Smith, Somers

“BRY-tuhn”

Our roads compete with Brighton for repairs. Point Nepean Road sits in the same road maintenance contract region as state roads in Brighton, Dandenong and other Melbourne suburbs. That is an enormous patch, stretching from inner Melbourne to the tip of the peninsula. The Auditor-General’s latest figures should worry everyone who drives across the southern peninsula, particularly on Pt Nepean Road. Around Victoria, 48 per cent of state roads were rated poor or very poor for remaining useful life in 2024. Pt Nepean Rd was worse: more than 56 per cent was poor or very poor, including nearly 40 per cent rated very poor! So where’s Point Nepean Road in the queue? The audit found the government department doesn’t always document why it chooses some roads over others. It also can’t show that it regularly checks if contractors’ monthly maintenance programs reflect its priorities. I can’t say a Brighton road is repaired at the expense of Pt Nepean Road. The audit doesn’t say that. But our roads compete for scarce funding inside a system that can’t really explain its decisions. Much of Pt Nepean Road feels dangerous to drive on, and we should have an explanation for the delays. We deserve a published timeline for its complete repair. I intend to keep asking until we get one. Kim Robbins, Safety Beach Independent candidate for Nepean

Pothole problem

The current general complaint is the proliferation of potholes across Victoria. Why aren’t they fixed? Why aren’t the roads made safe? Without moving into the contract business for road construction, cheapest tenders, questionable inspections, etc. let’s look at roads generally. Our roads are rock based, and finished in bitumen, which is a mix of fine gravel and tar. The depth of rock or road base, the elimination of water erosion points, and the gravel are all done to minimum spec. to save money, hence the failures. The tar is another matter. In recent letters I have been accused of supporting fossil fuels warming the planet. Others say electrics, biofuels, and bioplastics can do it all. None of these other options make roads. We make roads of tar. Tar comes from Saudi heavy crude. A barrel of Saudi crude weighs 144 kg. Depending on the oilwell source, three to five per cent of a barrel is tar, or about four kilograms. The rest is fuel and a small feedstock for plastics and detergents. A square metre of road requires about 12kg of tar, or three barrels of crude, leaving 400 litres of fuel behind to be disposed of. An Olympic swimming pool is 2,500,000 litres or 6250 barrels of fuel required for 2083 square metres of tar road, or 260 metres of eight metre wide roadway. So four Olympic pools of volatile fuel to the kilometre. We cannot keep building Olympic pools to store it up. We have to burn it. You can have a green planet with potholes, or global warming without potholes. You choose. John Dusting, Mornington

tions to reduce harm, these politicians failed to deliver a full ban on gambling advertising. Despite around 80% of Australians supporting a total ban on gambling advertising, the Labor and Liberals parties failed to act in the national interest and deliver a full ban on gambling advertising. If Jodie and Zoe were so supportive of the 2023 Murphy Report, why didn’t they cross the floor and vote against this inadequate Bill as two Coalition politicians did? 103 politicians from Labor, Liberals, Nationals and Liberal/Nationals QLD voted “aye” in favour of the flawed Gambling Reform Bill 2026 while 14 Independents, Greens, Centre Alliance and Liberal/Nationals voted “no” against the Bill. $666m is lost by Australian gamblers each week - $36b lost in the twelve months to March 2026. This is not about some “fun” or “flutter” or “backing a winner” as Zoe McKenzie MP stated in Parliament on 12 August 2026 in an attempt to balance the negativity of gambling. This is moral failure from our elected representatives. This is the power of gambling lobbyists influencing our politicians to vote against their own constituents. Our politicians need to introduce a full ban on gambling advertising, ban inducements like “free bets”, establish a national gambling regulator and implement all recommendations from the Murphy Report. Our politicians must stop putting commercial interests ahead of responsibilities towards their constituents and their children. Dale Stohr, Crib Point

Switch as in Welcome Aboard Foxtel, super rich on luxury liners, mostly old rich people, every conceivable service head to toes, the evils of the big 4 (Putin, Trump, Zelensky, Netanyahu) barely a passing thought.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston breakwater - where is the scheme? Compiled by Cameron McCullough At the Frankston Progress Association meeting on Monday night, Commander Creswell referred to the question of providing a harbor for yachts and larger vessels at Frankston. It seemed to him that the association ought to take an active interest in this matter, as there was no safe harbor on the eastern shore of the bay. He understood that a big scheme for building a breakwater at Davey’s Bay had been proposed by the authorities, but had been opposed by Frankston and Mornington. The President (Mr. Bell): I heard nothing of it. Commander Creswell said he was quoting from good authority. He considered it a short-sighted policy on the part of Frankston to oppose the construction of the breakwater, no matter what site was chosen. A safe harbor would develop the district immensely, and the people should take a big view of the matter, particularly as the Department of Ports and Harbours was anxious to proceed with the Davey’s Bay scheme. Continuing the speaker said he was informed that opposition came from people who were anxious to have a small harbor created at the mouth of Kananook creek. Mr. Jewell thought the people of Frankston were chiefly concerned about getting rid of the Kananook “whiff.” (Laughter). Mr. S. Lawrey said, that Cr. Miles informed him the other day that the

water intended for Kananook creek improvement scheme was now being turned into the Patterson river at Carrum. It looked as though Frankston had lost its chance of improving the creek. Mr. Pope said that Commander Creswell’s statement was news to him, although the Kananook creek improvement scheme had been discussed by the Traders’ Association. He thought the idea of a breakwater was a big thing for Frankston, and should be pushed for all it was worth. They should get the other organisations in the district to organise a monster deputation to urge the construction of the breakwater. On the motion of Commander Creswell, seconded by Mr. Young, it was decided to bring the matter of the breakwater under the notice of the Shire council, and, with the cooperation of other organisations seek to have the breakwater construction scheme, as proposed by the Department of Ports and Harbours, carried out. At the meeting of the Frankston Traders’ Association held on Tuesday night, Cr. Oates moved that a letter be forwarded to the Minister of Ports and Harbours re the proposed breakwater for Frankston, and enquire how far the scheme was advanced, also to remind the Minister of his promise to a deputation, from the Shire council which waited on him about two years ago, when it was stated that the work would be done. The motion was seconded by Mr. McFarlane and carried.

*** Hunting On The Peninsula Mr. J. L. Byrne, of “Halycon”, Mt. Eliza, has caused a flutter amongst sporting men and women on the Peninsula by the introduction of a hunting pack of hounds and several hunters, also a number of polo ponies. Hunting as a sport is booming and the Peninsula country is said to be eminently adapted for it. Fences as far away as Bittern are being ‘capped’ and it is expected the hunting season will be closed by the opening run on the Peninsula shortly. Next season everything will be in readiness and regular “meets” will take place. *** Motor Accident As the result of a motor accident near Mile Bridge on Sunday last, Mrs. Funston, wife of Mr. F. J. Funston, of Edithvale, was conveyed,to “Maxwellton” private hospital at Frankston suffering from serious scalp wounds. The car which was driven by Mr. Davies failed to answer the wheel and ran into a telegraph pole with considerable force. Mrs. Funston is now stated to be making satisfactory progress. *** Tyabb Progress Association Efforts are being made by the Tyabb Progress Association to have the Tyabb-Tooradin-Cranbourne road, taken over and constructed as a modern roadway. This road is the main connecting link between the Mornington Peninsula and South Gippsland. At, present, owing to its wild state,

it is very seldom used by vehicular or motor traffic. The local progress association is seeking the co-operation of the various shires interested towards furthering the project. The Tyabb Progress Association held their usual monthly general meeting on the 2nd September. The attendance was poor. Messrs. S. Chalwell (vice-president), B. S. Potts, G. C. Cole, J. F. White, C. L James, W. Butler and A. Noble (secretary) were present. The apathy of the people did not damp the enthusiasm of the members present, and much important and minor business was put through. Mr. S. Chalwell has been elected president of the Tyabb Progress Association. Mr. J. F. White has been appointed vice-president. The former president (Mr. A. C. Van) resigned on account of ill-health. He performed a lot of valuable work for the district. *** Personal James Marshall, late of Baxter, near Frankston, orchardist, who died on18th July, left by will dated 17th August, 1923, real estate valued at £1260 and personal property valued at £684 to his widow and children. Mrs. W. M. Hanton, Mrs. Bradbury, Mr. W. C. Young and Mr. H. B. Legge have been advised by the Education Department that an Order-in-Council has been obtained appointing them as members of the Advisory Council for the Frankston High school for the period ending 30th June, 1929. Since the death in America of the Rev. F. A. Merner, says the “Argus,”

the Dandenong district Roman Catholic parish has been administered by the Rev. Dr. W. M. Collins. The Rev. Father T. Little, formerly of Ferntree Gully, has now succeeded the Rev. Father Merner as district parish priest. The Rev. T. McCarthy, of South Melbourne, will take charge of the Ferntree Gully parish. Father Little is a nephew of Mrs. C. Maxwell and Miss Little, of “Thalassa”, Frankston. “Jumbo” Sharland, the well known footballer, and member of “The Herald” journalistic staff, left England for Australia on Tuesday last. “Jumbo” has been on a world tour. His many Frankston friends will be delighted to welcome him home. General Grimwade and Mrs Grimwade have arrived home, after a holiday trip to Colombo. Mr. and Mrs. P. Wheeler, of Frankston, who have been on an extended trip abroad, sailed from England on their homeward journey this week. Mr. and Mrs. James Lambie, who have been visiting the Northern States, returned to Frankston last week. Mrs. L. Street left Frankston on Monday last for a motor tour through New South Wales, and expects to be away for about a month. Mr. J. B. Jolly, of “Avondale,” Melbourne road, has been appointed a life governor of the Minton Boys’ Home. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 24 September 1926
