Pooches paradise POOCHES will be able to enjoy a new dog agility park at Frankston’s Ballam Park from August with construction works set to get underway soon.

Four-legged friends will be able to jump through hurdles, balance beams, a crawl tunnel, weave poles bridge and sit-stay platforms at a tennis court-sized fully fenced dog park behind the Homestead at Ballam Park.

The new park will be made from recycled material from Carrum Downs business Replas.

Play for sports cash Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A MULTI-MILLION dollar push for state and federal money for sports hubs is top of Frankston Council’s wish list ahead of looming state and federal elections.

Councillors voted behind closed doors after the ordinary public meeting on 4 June, for commercial-inconfidence reasons, to lobby state and

federal politicians for $30 million towards two expanded sports hubs.

Council has pledged $7.1 million of ratepayers’ money to a development of Jubilee Park Stadium and $8.05 million towards an upgraded Centenary Park sports hub.

But the money is conditional on both federal and state governments matching the council pledges.

The proposed expansion of the Jubilee Park sports hub, home of the Frankston & District Netball Associa-

tion, would include six multi-purpose indoor courts for netball, basketball and indoor cricket.

A show court including 1000 seats for spectators would also be part of the stadium expansion.

The new Jubilee Park stadium has been budgeted by council to cost $31.5 million.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden told The Times in April “the Jubilee solution” became an option after a majority of councillors voted in No-

The FDBA denies any wrongdoing.

The federal government had pledged to contribute $5.2 million to the Seaford project alongside $2.5 million from the state government.

Having walked away from the Seaford basketball stadium upgrade, council is now urging its federal and state partners in that project to join it in funding the Jubilee Park and Centenary Park hub expansions.

Council pushes for sports hubs money

Racing ahead: Equine educator Lisa Coffey discusses pathways to career success with McClelland College students. Pic: Supplied

‘Speedy’ careers advice for students THE army, airforce and police joined forces — with several other professions — at Chisholm TAFE’s Frankston campus this month to answer questions from youngsters about possible future careers.

Children’s education charity Ardoch hosted a “Speedy Careers” event on Thursday 14 June for McClelland College students to take part in quick question-and-answer sessions

with representatives from the Royal Australian Airforce & Navy, Victoria Police, the music industry, medical, nursing and wellbeing professions, Frankston Council, the Australian Bricklaying Foundation, Community Kinders Plus, Parks Victoria, BAE Systems, PARC, and the Impact Volunteer Association.

Individual sessions lasted a maximum of 8 minutes and gave students

the chance to ask questions such as “Why did you choose this career?”, “How did you get your job?” and “What’s the best part about your work?”.

Senior racing and equine educator Lisa Coffey was among industry experts who spoke about their work experiences.

See ardoch.org.au or call 9537 2414 for more information about Ardoch.

Continued from Page 1 “We urge the current Victorian and Australian government and election candidates to join us in this investment in the Frankston community,” the mayor Cr Colin Hampton said in a statement.

Mr Crewther last week said the design and full costing for the Jubilee Park Stadium, under the Jubilee Park Masterplan, was finalised by council “under the $350,000 federal Liberal Coalition government funding I secured in June 2016”.

“This initial federal Coalition government funding to kickstart this project has now resulted in funding from Council of $7.1 million, which is fantastic,” Mr Crewther said.

“The federal department has already been considering council’s project scope for Jubilee Park since the end of March, in order to enable $5.2 million of already budgeted federal Coalition government funds to be approved for the project, which will include co-utilised netball, basketball, indoor cricket, football and community-use facilities.”

State Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke did not respond before publication deadline when asked about possible state funding for both major projects.

Jubilee Park is in Mr Edbrooke’s electorate while the Seaford Basketball Stadium is in the electorate of Carrum, held by fellow Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny.

In April, a spokesman for Victo-

New complex: Design for multi-purpose sports stadium at Jubilee Park.

rian Sports Minister John Eren said it was “disappointing that council resolved not to support the upgrade of the Frankston Basketball Stadium in Seaford”.

“We’re happy to consider any new proposal or project that would encourage more locals in Frankston to get on the court, close to home,” spokesman Kosta Pandos said.

Council wants to build a regional tennis and gymnastics hub at Centenary Park with federal and state funding help.

That project, to include 16 tennis courts and a gymnastics hall and training area, has been costed at about $27.6 million by council.

Mr Crewther said he is working with council and is “advocating for a large federal contribution towards that important project that Frankston City Council has designed and costed as requested by council”.

NEW FRANKSTON STATION The new Frankston Station is now open and normal train services have resumed on the Frankston and Stony Point lines.

Electorate changes get go-ahead

Police patrol

Going nowhere: Police are seeking the driver of this smashed silver Holden Astra. Picture: Supplied

Crash car plea POLICE are seeking dash-cam footage of a silver coloured Holden Astra being driven erratically south bound on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, 4.25am, Saturday 16 June.

The car, which was later involved in a single vehicle collision, was found with extensive front-end damage in the middle of the freeway blocking both lanes.

The driver had fled the scene and, mid-last week, police were making inquiries about the registered owner.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the car travelling on Peninsula Link or the Mornington Peninsula freeway, or who may have come to the driver’s or passenger’s aid after the collision.

Leading Senior Constable Ron Trainer, of Mornington police, said footage of the car being driven before it crashed, or the actual crash, would be helpful.

Anyone with information or footage is asked to call him on 5970 4900, or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

THE Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has approved boundary changes across three south-east region electorates — Dunkley, Flinders and Isaacs — as part of a wider redistribution of electorate boundaries to create a new electorate called Foster northwest of Melbourne.

Population demographics changes made the AEC look at electorate changes across Victoria to better represent voters.

Liberal Dunkley MP Chris Crewther faces an uphill battle to save his seat at the next federal election after the changes to the electorate boundary, losing Mornington and the northern part of Baxter to the seat of Flinders held by fellow Liberal MP Greg Hunt.

Carrum Downs, Sandhurst and Skye move from Isaacs in the north held by federal Labor MP Mark Dreyfus to Dunkley.

Based on votes at the 2016 federal election, Dunkley now flips from having a 1.4 per cent narrow Liberal majority to being a nominal 1.3 per cent Labor seat.

Mr Crewther campaigned against the Dunkley electorate changes, urging community groups to lobby the AEC to maintain the status quo.

“I’m pleased that the Australian Electorate Commission has just decided to bring the whole of Carrum Downs, Skye and Sandhurst into my electorate,” Mr Crewther said.

“I welcome residents in these suburbs to Dunkley.”

He said he is “sad” at losing both Mornington and Baxter “from my electorate”.

The Dunkley MP said residents in

Carrum Downs, Skye and Sandhurst “want change”.

“Many locals have told me how they’ve felt neglected after 22 years of Labor in charge of their area, with 11 years of having Mark Dreyfus as their local Member for Isaacs, who not only lives out of his electorate in Malvern, but also has not knocked on most of the doors I’ve already knocked on, and hasn’t delivered on vital local infrastructure upgrades like resolving road congestion issues.”

Mr Hunt, federal Health Minister, has also lost a chunk of the Flinders electorate in the redistribution, despite gaining Mornington and all of Baxter, but still has a safe Liberal majority in the new seat. Phillip Island and Bass Coast suburbs previously in the Flinders electorate will become part of the seat of Monash.

Mr Hunt did not respond to a request for comment before publication deadline.

In Isaacs, Labor’s Mr Dreyfus said he is “sorry that from the next election I will no longer represent residents of Carrum Downs, Sandhurst, Skye, Noble Park and the parts of Keysborough north of Cheltenham Road”.

“I can assure these residents that I will continue to represent them right up until election day,” he said.

Isaacs gains Cheltenham, Dingley Village, Heatherton, Highett and Moorabbin within its northern boundaries.

Mr Dreyfus has a 3.9 per cent margin in Isaacs.

The next federal election will be held by 18 May next year at the latest if not called by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull before that date.

Money suggestions sought PEOPLE can have their say on a $10 million “revitalisation package” for the Seaford area until the end of June.

The Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) wants to hear from locals about how best to improve the area around the Seaford Road level crossing removal near RF Miles Reserve.

Frankston councillors at the 4 June public council meeting voted to seek clarity from state Carrum Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny on how the money will be spent amid their concerns the $10 million will be absorbed back into the level

crossing removal project instead of towards community groups (“Crossing fund reservations expressed”, The Times 12/6/18).

Ms Kilkenny said a community reference group would help decide how the fund is allocated.

The LXRA says the revitalisation will include six kilometres of walking and cycling paths from Eel Race Road through Seaford and in to Frankston, a new “open community space” and landscaping with streetscaping.

Taking the plunge for a cause

An independent voice for the community

We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper in Frankston City and on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

WHAT better time to take a dip than on the shortest day of the year?

That’s what participants in the YMCA’s annual Winter Solstice Swim thought as they dived into the chilly waters at Mothers Beach, Mornington.

The free event aimed to encourage residents to stay active in winter and raise money for the YMCA’s open doors program.

“This year we had a record number of brave swimmers,” organiser Renee Tickner-Lane said.

“They donned their costumes and, with much anticipation, dived into the 13-degree waters to take on the 50-metre swim challenge.”

Afterwards they enjoyed a hot chocolate and sausage sizzle in exchange for a gold coin donation to the YMCA Open Doors fund.

“Each year hundreds of children miss out on attending camp with their classmates due to disadvantage,” Ms Tickner-Lane said.

“The fund helps pay for these children and other deserving community groups to attend.”

The swim was the first of many community and family outdoor adventure events scheduled for this year at Camp Manyung.

Cap cool for hospital patients A NEW treatment for capping hair loss during chemotherapy for cancer is being rolled out at Frankston Hospital.

Scalp cooling chills the head and reduces the level of chemotherapy drugs reaching hair follicles to cut down on hair loss.

Crib Point mother-of-three Angela Fox this month became the first patient to have scalp cooling.

“It’s a marvellous opportunity to have all of this technology in a public hospital, which basically helps you keep your dignity while you’re having all of this treatment done,” she said.

“Hair is fairly important – if you’ve still got your hair a lot of people don’t realise what you’re going through and that’s a good thing.”

Chemotherapy day unit nurse manager Joan Thomas said scalp cooling will help peninsula cancer patients.

“Losing your hair can be quite traumatic. Stopping this from happening can help the mental health and well-being of patients as it helps them continue to look and feel like their usual self.”

Ms Fox was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram in March.

“The tumour was very, very small – they were lucky to find it actually,” she said.

“Within four weeks I was having surgery at Frankston Hospital to remove the tumour and some lymph nodes from my arm.”

The Crib Point resident, also a grandmother-of-two, will have four more chemotherapy sessions while wearing the cooling cap.

“It feels very strange and definitely cold – it feels like when you jump in the water and there are all these bubbles,” Ms Fox said.

“It saves me losing my hair though, so I don’t mind what it feels like.”

Up to four patients at any time will be able to have cap cooling during treatments thanks to a grant from

Perpetual Trustees on behalf of RP medical Fund, Rowe Family Foundation and The John Robertson Grigor & Mrs Eve McKenzie Bequest.

Answer to refugees Most Australians well know that separating children from their parents and family networks causes long term damage.

Even the president of the United States has decided to allow children to stay with their parents while the Mexican border assessments occur. A political response to the overwhelming opposition to a cruel policy - a change to his past rhetoric - he announced that the change does not undermine strong borders. Donald Trump has previously said that our government is harsher than his.

Australia has held many people in offshore detention for more than five years, with little recourse to any hope for their futures or those of their families.

Mental and physical health have caused death. But not even another death this week of a refugee man on Nauru, nor reports of illness and mismanagement of those requiring medical attention, seem sufficient reasons to be compassionate.

There are still 137 children on Nauru. Family members are still not permitted to be united. And our politicians from both main parties show no heed to change these bad policies.

Many Australians ask: What does it take for our politicians to change their cruel and unnecessarily harsh policies towards refugees?

It is possible to close the offshore centres and bring the people here, or at least find other appropriate third countries (like New Zealand and Canada) which are willing to participate, and ensure the US fulfils the commitment it has made.

It is also possible to negotiate a regional international response. And it is possible to allow refugees to settle safely in our communities.

We know that the sky will not fall in.

Ann Renkin, Shoreham

Altruism rewards I have recently relocated from the Mornington Peninsula to the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide. The same attributes exist: great beaches, cafes, golf courses. I am inspired by the ambiance of the Fleurieu, even the battlers

are happy it seems. Volunteers are critical to this great ambiance.

As a parting gesture I want to write about altruism that is seeking the welfare of others.

Volunteers should be lauded at every opportunity. For eight seasons in the 1960s I umpired footy on the Mornington Peninsula. If I arrived to do an early game at 11am at Rye, Chelsea, Langwarrin or Seaford there they were, the mums supporting their boys and making food they can sell to give money to support the club.

This is a grand example of altruism, and volunteers who altruistically seek to support others not expecting any reward other than the joy of doing so.

In Frankston, I was for more than four years one of the facilitators of Dads in Distress, which gave me great insight into the work of those volunteers who supported the disadvantaged, the homeless and the “broken” people and sought no plaudits for it just love for their fellow man.

How good was the Bishop Michael Curry’s message at the Royal wedding: ”The power of love to heal when nothing else can.”

There must be many people who would love to give vent to their nobler motives but, on account of their day to day lives, they cannot. The joy of altruism can be undertaken by “random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty” (Anne Herbert 1982). Similarly Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: “You cannot do kindness too soon as it may be too late.”

In this “it’s about me” world I am trying to remember to always be kinder than I may feel.

Tony Nicholl, Normanville, South Australia

Suffer the lambs Sheep have featured in the news recently, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. The spotlight has fallen on the appalling cruel live export trade and rightly so.

Information about wedge-tailed eagles feeding on baby lambs is not surprising as they are birds of prey and opportunistic feeders (“Eagles kill livestock” Letters 29/5/18). What may be lesser known and surprising to most of us is the mortality of 10-15 million lambs born in winter so we can eat spring lambs. These are industry figures.

The industry accepts this massive death rate as the cost of doing business so that the lambs feed on the spring grass rather than having to buy feed in summer.

You won’t hear these statistics mentioned in the Australia Day lamb promotions. Baby lambs pay an enormous price to satiate our taste buds.

John J Blair, Dromana

Wool over our eyes Drought: the word causes shivers of fear in many Australians, particularly those in the bush.

A 2015 poll found that people were more worried about drought than any other consequence of climate change.

Now farmers are complaining that the big dry means that they are having to “de-stock” or, in plain English, kill thousands of animals even earlier than they would usually be killed.

Meat and Livestock Australia have revised the number of lambs that will be slaughtered this year to 22.85 million, while sheep slaughter is expected to reach 7.8 million, totalling an astonishing 30,665,000 animals, most of them little more than babies.

Many of these animals will have suffered barbaric treatments such as mulesing, ear-tagging and castration, and will have been repeatedly mutilated during shearing.

The Climate Council has concluded that droughts are likely to worsen in severity and duration in southern Australia if greenhouse gas emissions are not cut deeply and rapidly. The quickest way to achieve this is to eliminate the wool and sheep meat industries.

These businesses add significantly to greenhouse emissions through “enteric fermentation,” or animals belching and passing gas, as well as causing vegetation change and soil erosion and water pollution through faecal contamination and sheep dips.

For the farmers, it’s an easy equation: if you can’t feed them, don’t breed them. The rest of us can take a stand for animals, and help to preserve natural ecosystems by not buying woollen garments, and not eating baby lambs.

Stabbed in neck

A MAN was stabbed in the neck after two strangers knocked on his door in Daly Street, Frankston at 8.25pm on Monday 18 June.

The victim, 46, answered the door and had a conversation with two men and an argument ensued before the resident was stabbed in the neck “with an unknown edged weapon”.

The two doorknockers ran off and police say the victim and the duo were not known to each other.

The 46-year-old stab victim was treated at The Alfred hospital for serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Both men were described as being Caucasian, about 5 ft 7 inches in height, and aged in their 40s with solid builds and “tanned complexions”.

One of the men was wearing white clothes, while the other wore a dark beanie, jumper and cargo pants.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au online.

‘Everything’ goes

BRAZEN thieves have made off with furniture from two homes on the market in Seaford in the past two months.

A home in Kirkwood Avenue and property in Raymond Road were emptied of furniture, linen and TVs put on display to showcase the homes for sale.

“About $10,000 worth of good was stolen at each property,” Frankston Detective Senior Constable Belinda Rampal said. “Everything was taken.”

Splash of colour: Chelsea Rotary Art Show judge Malcolm Webster with Janis Taber’s winning artwork. Picture: Gary Sissons

Colourful creation wins art gong A MOOROODUC artist won a top award at this year’s Chelsea Rotary Art Show, taking out first place in the oils/acrylic category.

Janis Barbieri’s Tropicana was deemed best in show in its category by judges at the 43rd annual Chelsea Rotary Art Show held at Chelsea Hall on 9-11 June.

Barbieri, who signs her maiden name Janis Taber on her artworks, said it is the first arts award she has won since taking up inks and oils six years ago after working in the fashion industry.

She said her art is “creative botanical and inspired by nature”.

“I love combinations of colour so with something like that I’ll decide

on a colour palette but the painting evolves as I go.

“As I’m doing something the name often comes to me. I don’t have a name beforehand. It’s a feeling.

“I thought there were tropical colours [in her winning entry] and it had a tropical feel, so the name Tropicana was appropriate.”

The fashionista, who enjoys working on her art at her Moorooduc hobby farm, said she also hand paints silk scarves, decorates vases and paints on ceramic tiles and tables following colour palettes chosen by clients on a commission basis.

This year’s Chelsea Rotary Art Show exhibited more than 450 entries from talented artists.

All proceeds from the show are donated to community organisations including the CFA. “Over the three days, the art show was very successful, with both sales and attendance numbers up on last year,” entry secretary Lesley Pitcher said.

Ms Pitcher said 34 Indigenous paintings from Kakadu were included in the show and proceeds from their sale will go towards eradicating the trachoma eye disease in Indigenous communities.

See janistaber.wixsite.com online for Janis Taber artworks and chelseaartshow.com.au for a list of all winners and some other entries.

Face to face LEGENDARY rock band The Angels are set to stop through the Chelsea Heights Hotel on 14 July to celebrate four decades since the release of their album Face to Face.

The ARIA Hall of Fame band is now led by Screaming Jets frontman Dave Gleeson, who joined up with the iconic band in 2011. He says the tour will feature some of the group’s greatest hits and will include every track from the Face to Face album, which first hit record stores in 1978.

“Performing with the band has been unreal. The songs we’re playing mean so much to our fans, and they’re timeless,” Gleeson said.

“I really enjoy belting them out every

night and keeping the legacy alive. I love playing songs like Shadow Boxer, After the Rain, Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, it’s a blast to play those with the boys.

“The 40-year milestone of this album was the perfect reason to head out on tour, to be able to still play it is a great opportunity. We’ll be playing the album from start to finish, just like when the fans put their cassette on back in the day.”

Gleeson has been a lifelong fan of The Angels, and he said he is delighted to have the chance to perform with them. Now having spent over half a decade as the lead vocalist of the band, he says it’s surreal to be able to perform

“I shared a bedroom with my two older brothers who dictated the playlist, one of them was a mad Angels fan, that was when they were constantly touring around the country. I heard him come home from concerts so many times talking about how awesome it was. So I always had this romantic image of the Angels, and when I saw them for the first time in ‘85 I was blown away. They were on fire and I’ve loved them ever since,” he said.

Gleeson himself is a veteran performer of the Chelsea Heights Hotel, and he said he is excited to return with The Angels.

“We’ve played down on the peninsula many times, we’ve played at the Mornington Racecourse probably three or four times over the last five years. We love it down there and I play the Chelsea Heights Hotel all the time between the Screaming Jets and The Angels.

I love it and it’s always packed there, what’s not to love about that,” he said. n The Angels - Face to Face Tour will be at Chelsea Heights Hotel, Cnr Springvale and Wells roads, Chelsea Heights on Saturday 14 July, opening 8pm. It is an 18-plus event.

Family ties history together HEARING tales of years and decades gone by has inspired Chelsea resident Kaye Musgrove to write a memoir of her father that also provides an insight into life in the area throughout the past nine decades.

Always a Gentleman is a book that tells the story of husband, father, grandfather and now greatgrandfather Reginald Musgrove and also reflects on the many changes in the area throughout his life.

Mr Musgrove started a career as a family butcher in Chelsea and later bought a Carrum shop.

He retired in 1988 and was well known locally, Ms Musgrove said.

“He was the local butcher in Carrum for more than 40 years,” she said.

As Mr Musgrove’s 90th birthday in May approached, she decided to capture some of the tales her father and mother, Joyce, told of Chelsea history for future generations.

The title of the book describes how people interviewed for the book described her father.

More than a family memoir, Always a Gentleman allows readers to time travel to decades gone by and recall, or find out for the first time, how society and technology have changed over the past 90 years.

The book will be available to borrow at Chelsea Library.

Ms Musgrove hopes handcraft markets and bookstores in the area may also stock the insight into history, packed with photos and memories.

She works at The Cove Hotel and says patrons who have seen the book have enjoyed its depiction of local changing times.

The help of the Chelsea & District Historical Society was invaluable in putting together the book.

“I went there to get photos and stuff, I already knew a lot of the people there. Now I’m on the committee,” Ms Musgrove said.

Always a Gentleman can be bought by emailing kayemus@hotmail.com or will be available to borrow at Chelsea Library.

Rally against port power gas plans

SEAFORD ROAD, FRANKSTON

Community drop-in session Want to have your say on the $10 million revitalisation as part of the Seaford Road level crossing removal project?

A RALLY to “save Western Port from two threats” is being held next month at Hastings.

Rally organisers say the threats come from power company AGL’s plan to moor a 300 metre long floating gas terminal at Crib Point and the building of a pilot hydrogen gas to liquid plant at Hastings.

While AGL plans to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be sold into the Victorian mark after being turned back into gas, a consortium led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries wants to ship liquid hydrogen to Japan.

Under the $496 million project – subsidised with $50m each from the federal and state governments - hydrogen gas extracted from brown coal in the Latrobe Valley will be trucked to Hastings before being liquefied and shipped to Japan.

Last week AGL “guaranteed” to discount power prices to small businesses along its pipeline route from Crib Point to Pakenham if its floating terminal is approved by government’s and its own board (“Contracts ‘advance’ AGL’s gas plan The News 12/6/18).

The hydrogen plan is facing criticism because the CO2 released in the process is planned to remain in Australia under unproven carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology while all the benefits are exported to Japan.

A brochure distributed at the same time as the announcement by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of the federal government’s $50m involvement with Kawasaki said CCS would not

be part of the pilot program “due to the low volumes of CO2 involved, equivalent to the annual emissions of about 20 cars”.

Kawasaki has estimated hydrogen from brown coal reserves in the Latrobe Valley could power Japan for 240 years.

Earlier this month Fortescue Metals chairman Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest announced that his company Australian Industrial Energy wanted to install a floating LNG terminal at Port Kembla, NSW. He said the $200-$300m plan was to bring gas to NSW and Victoria by 2020.

A community information and consultation meeting is being held by AGL about its plans for Crib Point at Balnarring Village Hall, 7.30pm Monday 25 June.

The rally opposing the gas import and hydrogen export projects is being organised by the No AGL Gas Terminus for Crib Point group and Westernport & Peninsula Protection Council. It will be held at 1pm Sunday 1 July at the Fred Smith Reserve on Hastings Foreshore.

WHAT’S NEW...

Peninsula Grammar’s triple achievement at the Premier’s Awards for VCE Excellence THREE students of Peninsula Grammar’s graduating Class of 2017 were recently presented with their Premier’s VCE Awards at the prestigious award ceremony.

More than 1100 guests attended the ceremony, where Victoria’s top-performing VCE students from 2017 were recognised for their outstanding academic results. A total of 302 awards were presented to 274 students.

Charlotte Holland was one of 23 students to receive a Top All-Round VCE High Achievers Award for attaining study scores of 46 or higher across at least five subjects and the only student on the Mornington Peninsula to receive this coveted award. Charlotte’s 14 year journey at Peninsula Grammar commenced in Kinder and her unwavering commitment to her studies throughout this time ensured this meritorious achievement.

Daniel Pham was one of only three students to receive the International Student Award. Daniel’s determination and dedication to his studies are a testament to his ability, making Daniel a most deserving recipient of his award.

Grace O’Sullivan was the recipient of a Study Award for Drama. Her score of 50 in Drama

was phenomenal, as was her ATAR result. In 2017 Grace combined her enthusiasm for Performing Arts with a diligent study routine whilst at the same time fulfilling her responsibilities as Head of School.

Peninsula Grammar’s Class of 2017 achieved an exemplary set of VCE scores through their unrelenting

determination to make the most of every opportunity afforded to them during their time at the School.

By providing a nurturing environment and the best quality teachers, students at Peninsula Grammar are able to learn, grow and flourish.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

For Those About to Collect Rocks – We Salute You

By Stuart McCullough IT was a result of panic, more than anything. My father had very strong views on pretty much everything, including the importance of having a hobby. I, however, felt that lying on a beanbag and staring out the window was as legitimate a hobby as any my father might care to suggest. He was having none of it. So far as he was concerned, I needed to nail my colours to the mast and, preferably, put the hammer back exactly where I found it. That’s how I decided to collect rocks.

I know what you’re thinking – how can anyone do something so boring?

For alleged fun? Before you scoff too loudly, I should reveal that collecting rocks was my way out of having to collect stamps. Compared to collecting stamps, rock collecting is a veritable avalanche of pleasure. My father was a stamp collector. He probably still is, but I never ask him about his collection and he never talks about it in public. It had been a childhood passion he was keen to pass on. It became something I was eager to resist.

As a child of the seventies, television was my abiding passion. This was confusing to my father, who had gone through childhood before TV existed and couldn’t understand my fascination for it. We were told that watching too much TV would make our eyes go square and turn our brains to little more than overcooked cabbage. ‘Chewing gum for the eyes’, he called it. It felt incredibly unjust.

Spending time on my stamp collection meant valuable hours of television viewing were forever lost.

It was always arbitrary. One moment we’d be watching ‘Happy Days’.

The next, my father would appear and announce that tonight was the night we’d collect stamps. Before I could say, ‘Sit on it, bucko’, the set would be switched off and my brother and I

were ushered into the study to begin an interminable evening talking about stamps. For months, my father would dutifully intercept all incoming mail, rip off the right-hand corner of the envelope and then soak the stamp free in a small glass on the kitchen window

will. The results of all this effort were then dumped on the desk and we were expected to go through them.

It felt pointless. Nevertheless, for a time I had a stamp collection. I probably still do. I doubt, very much, that there’s anything of great value there. It was after an evening of stamp collecting during which I was particularly forlorn that I was told I could pick another hobby if I was willing to break my father’s heart. Which, as it turns out, I was. I don’t know why I chose rock collecting except that it wasn’t stamp collecting and, on that basis, could only be an improvement.

There is, I feel, a certain genius in rock collecting. For starters, they’re in abundant supply. You can barely step outside the door without tripping over one. They very low maintenance. You don’t need to feed them, water them or put them in an album. They’re also a multi-purpose collectible. You can keep them on a shelf and admire them whenever the mood strikes you, you can use them as paperweights or even use them to fend off a potential zombie invasion. Say what you will about stamps – they’re no good for repelling an attack by zombies.

Having made my decision to collect rocks, I needed to do something to show this wasn’t all talk. Unfortunately, I knew very little about the subject.

However, I was helped enormously after it was revealed that a friend of my mother’s was a geologist and had access to all kinds of high quality specimens. Quite frankly, they were awesome. Before long I was kneedeep in quartz, granite, basalt, shale and – my favourite – conglomerate.

Plant Sale

The rocks sat on my bookshelf not doing very much for years. If there was a downside, it was that I was expected to hunt for rocks whenever the family went on holidays and to buy rock related souvenirs from the gift shop. It was a small price to pay.

Once I discovered music, I forgot all about my rocks. Which is ironic, I guess, in that I gave up one kind of rock for another. Looking back on it, collecting rocks filled the all-important hobby-gap between childhood and adolescence. As for stamps, I don’t see them that often anymore.

Before long, they’ll probably be extinct and that old stamp album will be worth something. Whereas the rocks will still just be rocks. They’re very reliable in that respect.

My nephew Tyler had a birthday.

He likes to collect rocks. I have no idea how he feels about stamps, but to celebrate we gave him a special rock-collecting satchel. It’s incredibly cool. It comes with a magnifying glass and a rock hammer that he can either use to break rocks or to escape from Shawshank prison. It is, I believe, his primary hobby. It’s great to have hobbies – passions that serve no purpose other than to satisfy our curiousity.

There ought to be more of it. I should see if I still have anything from my old collection. I’m not sure where it is, but if I find it, I’ll be sure to mail it to him. I might even use every stamp in my collection to get it there. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

CALIFORNIA’S RADIO MOSCOW HITS VICTORIA US Blues Rock Royalty Head Down Under With ‘New Beginnings’ California power-trio Radio Moscow have just announced their return to Australia with a two week tour planned for down under in just a few weeks.

The hard-hitting band have carved their own sonic niche in international Blues, Rock and Psych circles since their formation in 2003, regularly playing some of the world’s largest festivals including Ride Festival, Desert Daze, Electric Funeral, Psycho California and more, also having supported the likes of Graveyard, Witchcraft, Joe Bonamassa and Pentagram throughout Europe, North America, South America and Australasia.

This tour will mark the outfit’s fifth studio album ‘New Beginnings’, a powerful 10-track Blues Rock ride, amongst the midst of a recent worldwide signing to Century Media Records. Previously produced by the likes of Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), Radio Moscow regularly receive the highest of critical acclaim with the New York Music Daily citing their previous release “Live in California” as the Best Heavy Psych Album of 2016.

Touring for Australian

independent agency Beats Cartel, the band will line up for nine shows in two weeks throughout NSW, QLD, VIC, ACT, SA and WA in their first Australian jaunt since 2016.

Queensland’s largest heavy festival Dead of Winter Festival will host

the band as will South Australian event Holy Land amongst other Australian iconic Rock venues.

Parker Griggs, singer/guitarist from the band says of upcoming tour “Australia! It’s been tooooo long. We can’t wait to return to

your land! Only our second time down there we’re stoked to return.

See you very soon.”

The power trio hit Melbourne, playing Cherry Bar on Wednesday 04 July with QLD’s Hobo Magic and local act Devil Electric. 8pm

$25/30. They then move on to play Pelly Bar in Frankston on Thursday 05 July, to be joined by Hobo Magic and local acts Dark Temple and Teenage Dads. 8pm $25/30. Tour tickets are available beatscartel.com/tickets.

Freak accident at Crib Point Base

Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A SEVERE and painful accident occurred at Crib Point Naval Base last week, by which Mr R. Brown, of Bittern, sustained severe injuries.

He was attending to some machinery, when, by some means, his clothes became entangled, and they were practically stripped off him before assistance arrived.

The services of Mr Prince, of the First Aid, were obtained, and he advised medical treatment. On the arrival of Dr Atkinson, the sufferer was found to have several ribs broken, and the body severely bruised.

He was ordered to the Melbourne hospital, where he is now progressing as well as can be expected. *** LIEUTENANT Claude Grice, son of Mr James Grice, “Moondah”, Frankston who was wounded in France recently, is, we are pleased to state, improving, and has been removed front France to a London hospital. *** A FOOTBALL match between Frankston and Hastings juniors was played at Frankston on Saturday. last.

Frankston again proved too good for the visitors, who were defeated by 24 points, the final scores being Frankston 6.11. Hastings 3.5. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs Oates (chairman) Williams and Grant, J’s.P., a youth named George Vivian, 18 years was charged with stealing a cash drawer from the goods shed at the Frankston railway

station, on the night of 18th June.

The accused pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three month’s imprisonment the bench recommending that he be given into the charge of a reformatory. *** RECOGNISING the splendid work done by the Frankston Wattle Club in entertaining wounded soldiers, and the consequently heavy expenses incurred by the club, the Moonee Valley racing club recently decided to donate £50 to the club funds, and a cheque for that amount has now been received by the secretary, Mrs. A. G. Wilcox — Further donations of a similar nature would be welcomed. *** A HIGH tribute was paid by the Minister of Defence, on Tuesday, to the excellence of the curative work which is being carried out by the Victorian military authorities at the Langwarrin detention camp.

Senator Pearce visited the camp in the morning, accompanied by the Acting State Commandant (BrigadierGeneral Williams). He subsequently stated that it had afforded him great pleasure to discover how well the camp was being conducted.

Since he last visited the place vast improvements had been effected, and the demeanor and discipline of the patients was all that could be desired.

He thought that the manner in which the camp is now being conducted was an object lesson in humane and sympathetic administration of a very difficult problem. *** A PUBLIC meeting under the

Ladder leading Sharks outrun Redlegs DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO Sharks have survived an almighty scare courtesy of Mt Eliza, but held on to claim all four points in their top of the ladder clash at Emil Madsen Reserve.

Mt Eliza were fighting for the top position on the ladder, and had their chances boosted by the absence of Sorrento forward Chris Dawes.

In wet conditions, Mt Eliza raced out of the gates to establish an early lead over Sorrento, going into the quarter time break with a 14 point lead.

The Redlegs were well on top throughout the day, applying more tackles and playing more direct football, which proved to be a smart tactic in the wet weather. Going into threequarter time, Mt Eliza were comfortably 16 points ahead, and Sorrento looked dead and buried.

After the final break, Sorrento’s Hallahan brothers came alive in stunning fashion, combining to quickly put a few goals on the board and inject some life into the contest.

Mt Eliza were stunned by the way Sorrento played in the final term, with the Sharks dominating centre clearances and showing the class of a premiership team.

The Sharks quickly established a lead, and Mt Eliza could do nothing to stop the onslaught of goals. The final quarter ended up being a six goal to one blitz, and Sorrento eventually ran over the top of Mt Eliza in a 10.10 (70) to 13.7 (85) win.

Leigh Poholke continued his good run of form with five goals for Sor-

rento, all scored at important moments when the game was hanging in the balance. The win puts Sorrento two games clear of Mt Eliza at the top of

the ladder.

One of Sorrento’s best was playing coach Luke Tapscott, who made his return from injury on Saturday. Tapscott

said that while it was good to get the win, there was still plenty of work to do.

“We were happy with the four points, but we got away with playing one quarter of footy,” he said.

“That’s not how you want to play when you’re on the road. We did start well but we just fell asleep until the last quarter. We’re happy to get away with the win, but I’m not all that happy about the way we went about it.”

Sorrento will travel to play Rosebud next Saturday.

At John Coburn Oval, Frankston YCW were looking to break their four game losing run against last place Seaford.

Both sides struggled to adapt to the conditions in the first term, with neither side putting a goal on the scoreboard by the first break of play.

In the second term Sorrento made a breakthrough and kicked the first goal of the game, but unfortunately the game came to a sudden stop before either side could kick another.

An injury to Frankston YCW’s Luke Paynter required an ambulance to be called, and the game was abandoned before half time.

The league has ruled that because there had been less than a half of football played, both teams would share the points.

At Greg Beck Oval, the Frankston Bombers hosted a Mornington side that has been in impressive form.

The contest looked one sided right from the first bounce, as the Bombers put the injury depleted Bulldogs to the sword with a dominant five goals to zero first quarter.

Frankston Bombers continued to pile on the misery in the second quarter, and went into half time with a 41 point lead.

Although Mornington were able to restore some respectability with a valiant second half showing, they went down to an impressive Bombers outfit 16.10 (106) to 9.6 (62).

Samuel Fox booted five goals for Frankston, while Jason Kingsbury kicked three and was among the best players on the field.

In Saturday’s final clash, Bonbeach took on Rosebud at Rosebud Recreation Reserve.

Both sides looked evenly matched throughout the contest, with the lead only standing at one point in Rosebud’s favour at the three-quarter time break.

Rosebud ran over the top of Bonbeach in the final quarter, registering nine scoring shots to three in a completely one sided showing. With a dominant final term, Rosebud secured their third win for the season running out 8.11 (59) to 10.11 (71) winners.

Thomas Stoffels was again among the best for Rosebud, scoring a game high three goals to help his side to victory.

Red Hill continue their rampant run DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn RED Hill have secured their fifth consecutive win in MPNFL Division Two football, continuing their rampaging run with a big win over Hastings.

Hasting started well and kept in touch with Red Hill in the first quarter, but the game would not stay competitive for much longer.

By the three-quarter time break, Red Hill had established a comfortable 32 point lead and put the game to rest. A six goal to one final term only made the pain worse for Hastings as they went down in an uncompetitive clash 7.5 (47) to 17.7 (109).

Chris Irving and Jonathon Ross both starred with six goals each for Red Hill, with their side sitting comfortably at fourth spot on the ladder.

At Ballam Park Reserve, Karingal flexed their muscle with a dominating victory over Crib Point.

A six goal to two first quarter set the tone for a completely one sided game, with Karingal dominating their lowly Crib Point opponents.

It was a complete team performance for the Bulls, who had eleven individual goalkickers throughout their side.

The win sees Karingal secure second spot on the ladder, as they claimed an astonishing 98 point victory 20.13 (133) to 5.5 (35).

At Bunguyan Reserve, 11th placed Tyabb hosted ladder leaders Dromana in a match that looked uncompetitive on paper.

Despite coming in as massive underdogs, the Yabbies raised eyebrows by

PAGE 32

Slippery when wet: After bursting out of the blocks, Tyabb eventually went down to Dromana.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

battling hard in the first term, and they even went into the quarter time break with a narrow one point lead.

A shell shocked Dromana came out in the second quarter determined to make amends for their sloppy first term, as they tightened up in defence and held Tyabb scoreless for the quarter.

Dromana continued to make life miserable for the Yabbies, who could only manage one more solitary goal for the remainder of the game.

Despite the early scare Dromana battled back well to show their quality and secure a comfortable victory away

Frankston Times 25 June 2018

from home. The final score was 2.11 (23) to 11.11 (77) in Dromana’s favour.

Elsewhere at Glover Reserve, Chelsea put on a clinical performance as they continued their good season against Devon Meadows.

Devon Meadows looked as if they might send their fans home with smiles on their faces after an impressive first term, going into the first break with a two point lead.

After the first break, the Seagulls kicked things up another gear by holding Devon Meadows goalless in the second term. With a comfortable 16 point buffer established, Devon Mead-

ows had been put on the back foot, and they struggled to work their way back into the game.

Regular goalkickers Jack Francis and Curtis Bywater contributed for Chelsea with five goals between them, as their side claimed the four points with a 9.8 (62) to 13.11 (89) win.

At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye heaped more misery on a disappointing Pearcedale season by claiming a comfortable 51 point win.

Pearcedale looked up to the contest up until half time, as they only trailed by a mere three points at the main break. After half time, Rye quickly put

the game to bed with an impressive five goals to zero third quarter.

Rye were a little more competitive in the final term, but could not bounce back from their disappointing third quarter, as they went down to Rye 14.16 (100) to 7.7 (49).

Ben Trivett and Leigh Morse were among Rye’s best, as they kicked two goals each in impressive performances.

Struggling Pearcedale are set to receive a welcomed boost, with former North Melbourne and West Coast Eagles tall forward Drew Petrie scheduled to play for them in a one off appearance against Devon Meadows at home next Saturday. Pearcedale also recruited Barry Hall for a similar cameo appearance last season.

In the final game for the weekend Somerville hosted Langwarrin at Somerville Recreation Reserve.

Langwarrin came into the clash full of confidence, coming off a big victory over Tyabb last weekend. Led by star goalkicker Jesse Murphy, they established an early lead and kept Somerville out of reach for most of the day.

Murphy booted six goals to take his tally for the year to 46, as his Langwarrin side secured the win 7.12 (54) to 9.12 (66).

Langwarrin now sit in sixth place on the ladder after an inconsistent season so far. They sit six points behind fifth placed Hastings, and will need some results to go their way before climbing up the ladder.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Five-star Pines, Johnston steps down SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A SUPERB first half-display from Frankston Pines and the shock resignation of Peninsula Strikers president Trevor Johnston were the big talking points to emerge from last weekend’s round of matches.

Pines blitzed Heatherton United early and led 4-0 at the interval eventually running out an easy 5-0 winner.

Ben Millward opened the scoring in the 13th minute and two minutes later CJ Hodgson struck.

When Lewis Potter headed home from a set piece in the 31st minute Heatherton was staring down the barrel and Hodgson was at the back post right on half-time to drive another nail into the visitors’ coffin.

Mitch Lander and Hodgson were constant threats as Pines exploited Heatherton on the break and Lander rounded off the scoreline in the 68th minute to provide gaffer Paul Williams with his biggest win of the season.

“What pleased me most was the confidence this win will give the lads as we’ve had some good performances this season but here we turned a good performance into a great result,” Williams said.

State 2 South-East neighbour Peninsula Strikers is in crisis following Johnston’s departure coupled with Saturday’s 4-1 home loss to Brandon Park which anchors the club to the foot of the league ladder.

Two goals from Hamlet Armenian and one from Josh Caruana had Brandon Park in control before referee Brandon Smith reduced Strikers to 10 men when he ruled that Washid Rashimi had deliberately stopped a goalscoring opportunity and issued a straight red card in the 36th minute.

Two minutes later Oscar Marsden made it 3-1 but Armenian completed his hat-trick in the 42nd minute.

Strikers had planned to sign three players from Kingston City this week as well as Nat Daher from Langwarrin’s under-20s but there is uncertainty about those moves given Johnston’s departure.

The club recently lost captain Ryan Wilson to Casey Comets after he turned his back on a substantial offer from Mornington.

Johnston’s decision caught most observers by surprise.

“There were a lot of things going on behind the scenes and there are a lot of cultural changes that need to be made,” Johnston said.

“I’m proud of the fact that I got the club out of a massive financial hole but I can’t take them any further.

Pines pounce: Ben Millward (left), Ioasa Saemo (centre) and CJ Hodgson celebrate the opening goal at Monterey Reserve on Saturday.

Picture: John Punshon

“I was doing so many things and the lack of support was disappointing.

“I tried and tried but when it starts to affect your family, your kids, then it’s time to make some changes.

“We’ve had five coaches in 12 months and quite frankly I can’t wait till next year with the potential to get someone of the calibre of Adam Jamieson to the club.”

In NPL2 news Langwarrin travelled to Shepparton and came away with a point following Saturday night’s 1-1 draw with Goulburn Valley Suns.

Alou Kuol gave the home side the lead after just six minutes but Suns keeper Fraser Greenwood handled outside his area and was sent off in the 22nd minute.

Mehdi Sarwari’s low drive in the 35th minute made it 1-1 and shortly after Liam Baxter found the back of the net with a superb volley only to be controversially ruled offside.

A bone-jarring tackle from substitute Frankie Lagana in the 60th minute saw the Suns reduced to nine men and despite Langy dominating possession three superb saves from Suns’ substitute keeper Lucas Enders kept the visitors at bay.

Langy’s under-20s lost 4-3 but a scything challenge on 16-year-old Langy forward Keegan Guy forced his departure and incensed coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor.

The referee didn’t deem the incident worthy of punishment however a few hours later Guy was in hospital being treated for an injury described as being more consistent with a car accident

Sudoku and crossword solutions

judging by the internal bruising he had received from the impact of an opponent’s knee in the back.

In NPLW news Southern United lost 8-0 to championship challenger South Melbourne at Middle Park on Saturday.

The last time these sides met South Melbourne won 13-1.

Southern’s under-12s drew 2-2 with both Southern goals scored by Rhiannon Kelleher.

Southern’s under-14s continued their march towards a second successive title by downing South Melbourne 3-0.

Danica Vukcevic gave Southern a half-time lead and a highlight of the second half was a rare headed goal from last season’s Golden Boot winner Rhys McKenna.

Taylah Hennekam scored Southern’s third goal.

Southern’s under-16s lost 3-0 while the under-19s lost 11-0.

Meanwhile the NPL door is ajar for Manningham United after it increased its lead in State 1 South-East with a 1-0 home win over Mornington last weekend.

Dean Lorenzi got the winner in the 48th minute.

Mornington’s UK import Max Etheridge came off the bench in the second half after returning to Australia last week and is pushing for a spot in the starting line-up against Beaumaris this weekend.

In State 3 South-East news Skye United lost 2-0 at home to Monbulk Rangers on Saturday.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 15th minute when Skye couldn’t

stop Chris Wynne’s run on the right of the area and his cutback was slammed home low by Patrick O’Loughlin from 10 metres.

Skye’s best chance of the first half came in the 23rd minute when Daniel Attard skinned a defender on the right and cut inside but his square ball to Mitch Blake was met with a sidefoot strike that sailed harmlessly over the bar.

Attard, Blake and Jason Nowakowski all blew good chances to level and the goal that ended Skye’s chances came in the 72nd minute and completely bedazzled a ragged Skye defence.

Scott surged forward and passed to substitute Shaun O’Rourke on the right and he cut inside before squaring the ball to McRae who first dummied to shoot then calmly slotted the ball past Crook for the clincher.

Skye head coach Billy Armour didn’t mince his words after the loss.

“The promotion push is over. It’s as simple as that. Right now our focus is on trying to finish in the top half of the table,” Armour said.

Skye midfielder Marcus Collier is out for the season and may require surgery to repair his ACL. In State 4 South news Baxter lost 2-1 away to Monash Uni last weekend.

There were few clear-cut chances in the first half and the deadlock was broken by a long drive into the top corner from Miles Rodriguez in the 63rd minute.

Baxter equalised four minutes later with a clever finish from just outside the area by substitute Ben Meiklem.

ROUND 14

The visitors were caught napping in the 80th minute when a quick free-kick sent Monash substitute Stephen Harvey clear and he slipped the ball under advancing Baxter keeper James Foster.

Monash striker Sampath Mishra received two yellow cards in quick succession and was sent off late in the match.

The big news at Baxter Park this week is the return of former senior coach Roy Kilner who becomes Francis Beck’s second assistant alongside Mitchell Ball.

In State 5 South Somerville Eagles triumphed in a seven-goal thriller away to Rowville Eagles last Friday night.

Somerville player-coach and league leading scorer David Greening had the visitors 2-0 up after 30 minutes with his second goal coming from the penalty spot.

But two goals in a minute from Louis Palmire’s header and a Ruben Ichim chip drew the home side level.

Rowville hit the front three minutes into the second half thanks to a stunning Ichim free-kick but an unstoppable leftfoot strike from outside the area from Greening secured his hat-trick.

The master scorer wasn’t done with yet and in the 91st minute substitute Jarryd Lymer won a 50/50 challenge and Greening burst past two defenders and slotted home the winner to send Somerville supporters and players into wild celebration.

“That was a fantastic advert for State 5 football tonight,” Greening sad.

“The spirit we displayed to come back from going behind shows the character we have at this club and I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Aspendale lost its State 5 away clash with Casey Panthers 3-1.

Domenic Paul scored from the penalty spot for Aspendale in the first half.

Noah Berends, Pal Calvino and Paul were Aspendale’s best.

Next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Mornington v Beaumaris (Dallas Brooks Park), Peninsula Strikers v Old Scotch (Centenary Park), Mazenod v Frankston Pines (Mazenod College), Seaford Utd v Collingwood City (North Seaford Reserve), Boroondara-Carey Eagles v Skye Utd (Wilcox Field, Carey Sports Complex), Dandenong South v Baxter (Tatterson Park), Somerville Eagles v Chelsea (Somerville Secondary College), Aspendale v Endeavour Hills Fire (Jack Grut Reserve).

Miller’s soccer academy up and running

By Craig MacKenzie FORMER Socceroos assistant coach Scott Miller is keen to provide elite soccer coaching for junior boys and girls throughout the Mornington Peninsula.

Miller is the principal of Identity Pro Academy based at Toorak College in Mount Eliza.

The former Fulham assistant and Newcastle Jets head coach returned from Denmark last year where he worked as an assistant coach at Aalborg BK. Miller is one of the highest credentialled coaches in Australian soccer and is contracted to Fox Sports as a football analyst.

He holds an AFC Pro Diploma and a UEFA A-Licence as well as tertiary degrees in sports science and sport psychology and wants to impart his expertise to young local players.

“Our community academy was created to provide opportunity to local Mornington Peninsula footballers by offering a holistic approach which will encapsulate coaching, skill, movement and high performance programs,” Miller said.

“While it’s great to be home much more importantly it’s great to be able to create a platform for young footballers here in Australia and on the peninsula in particular.”

Identity Pro’s 10-week program has a high performance component which includes injury prevention, football fitness and exclusive access to over 200 performance recipes available through the nutrition section of the academy’s website.

Dandenong Thunder strength and

conditioning coach Alistair Wallace has joined the academy’s coaching staff.

Identity Pro also offers a performance psychology component via winning mentality workshops and last week announced that it had partnered with Sports Performance Tracking to offer players real time feedback on the physical demands of the training sessions.

There are only 40 places available for 20 boys and 20 girls aged 12 to 16.

The boys’ program starts on Mon-

day 23 July and the girls’ program starts on Thursday 26 July.

Identity Pro will also run a school holiday program at Baxter Soccer Club for ages eight to 14 on Monday 2 July.

“It’s important to note that this is not an elite academy but instead it is open for all levels who want to improve and it is designed to provide an education of what is involved at an elite level without the pressure and expectation of having to perform,” Miller added.

Identity Pro also offers an online subscription for players and clubs who can sign up for access to an exclusive video-based program.

For more information about Identity Pro go to www.identitypro.com. au or email info@identitypro.com.au for registration enquiries.

Steelers continue stellar run of results

BASKETBALL

THE Western Port Steelers were forced to work for it, but they have extended their winning streak to three games with a win over the Geelong Supercats in Men’s Division One Basketball this Saturday.

Making the big trip to Geelong Arena, the Western Port Steelers were in good form heading into their clash with the Supercats, and would have been hopeful of a big victory.

Sitting in 4th place on the table, two games clear of their nearest opponent, would have had them considered strong favourites in their match against 9th placed Geelong. However, the Supercats took the game to their opponents in the first quarter and showed they were no easy beats.

A big third term was the highlight for the Supercats, as they went into the final quarter with the lead against their highly fancied Western Port opponents.

The Steelers had their backs to the wall, but eventually recovered to overcome the deficit and run out narrow five point winners, Geelong Supercats (89) to Western Port Steelers (95).

Dylan Travis was the standout for Western Port, dropping 39 points in a match winning performance for his side.

The Steelers now only sit one win behind 3rd place Keysborough Cougars, but the Cougars have the advantage of having two games in hand.

In women’s competition this weekend, the Mornington Breakers scored an upset in Division Two to knock off the Melbourne University Black Angels.

The Breakers currently sit in 8th

place after a widely inconsistent season, and were up against a Melbourne University side that was sitting pretty in 3rd place on the table.

Playing away from home, the Breakers impressed by overpowering the Black Angels in the first half, establishing a six point lead at the half time break.

Although Melbourne University fought back well in the third quarter, the Breakers proved too strong and secured a huge victory (36) to (48).

Ashleigh Wright was the star player for the successful Mornington Breakers side, scoring 21 points and shooting at 54 percent from the three point line.

Men’s Division Two featured an intriguing matchup between two sides placed alongside one another on the ladder, as 6th placed Melton Thoroughbreds played host to 5th placed Southern Peninsula Sharks.

The Sharks looked more than up for the challenge in the first half, and went into the half time break with a six point lead over Melton.

After the break, the Thoroughbreds kicked thing into another gear and started to assert control over the match.

With the Sharks holding a narrow lead going into the final quarter, Melton had to dig deep to get a result, but dig deep they did.

Melton outscored Southern Peninsula by ten points in the final quarter, and secured a nail biting come from behind victory (80) to (77).

Dexter Graham scored 27 points shooting at 55 percent for the winners, while Corey Bond was the most impressive performer for Southern Peninsula with 23 points.
