THE most disadvantaged people in our society will be the hardest hit by the federal budget – the young unemployed, disabled, and single parents, says Victorian Council of Social Services CEO Emma King.

“I think young people are being demonised,’’ she told The News. “The government is hitting our poorest and most vulnerable people – the long-term unemployed and the disabled. ’’They are being hit on so many fronts, such as with university sector fees to be deregulated giving them the green light to charge more, which will further disadvantage young people.’’

Ms King said moving more young people off the Newstart allowance – which she said was $36 a day – would see more people forced into poverty.

“The notion that the so-called ‘age of entitlement’ is over is so much nonsense – as is the notion that somehow the politicians’ pay freeze is going to achieve anything worthwhile.’’

Under the new rules, to start on 1 January, applicants for Newstart or the Youth Allowance will have to wait six months before receiving the dole, then work for it for another six months before either getting a job or getting cut off again for another six months.

Newstart will be denied to those aged under 24 (a loss of $48 a week on the current arrangement) and move more young people on the disability support pension to Newstart or the Youth Allowance (a cut of $166 a week).

On the plus side there are incentives of up to $10,000 over three years for employers that hire older workers – especially those who have been unemployed for six months or more.

This so-called “earning or learning” regime is expected to save the government $1.2 billion over four years. Ms King was scathing:

“For young unemployed to be denied youth support for six months, and to push the disabled off the disability support pension, is outrageous. How are they going to live?’’

She said low-income parents will struggle to provide for young, out-of-work family members – many of them school leavers – who are unable to find work yet cannot access income support for six months of every year. And she is concerned for the many young unemployed who don’t have any parental support.

“Instead of acknowledging that early intervention and prevention of joblessness gives a real return on investment, and instead of investing in these things, the Budget will entrench disadvantage.’’

Anne Catanese, manager of Chelsea Community Support Services, said she also had concerns about changes to Newstart, particularly regarding jobseekers in their 40s and 50s, and the plight of single parents affected by the changes to family benefits.

“These changes will certainly impact on our clients,’’ she said. “Many of them were just managing and the gap is widening.’’

Ms Catanese expects more of these families will require food parcels to ease their weekly shopping burden.

“Many people on low incomes are already faced with choosing to fill up the car over buying fresh fruit and vegies’’ she said. “We assist people with food parcels and petrol vouchers as well as weekly groceries from Pantry 5000 in Carrum.

“Healthcare costs, education expenses and fuel increases are big stress points in a family budget. With winter approaching the energy costs and healthcare expenses will add pressure to people’s budgets.

“We are seeing an increase in the number of people needing assistance who are not on Centrelink benefits – this will probably increase.”

Bad timing: Frankston line services were suspended in both directions for almost three hours during last Thursday’s evening peak when a trailer was struck by an oncoming train at level crossing in Aspendale. Picture: Gary Sissons

Protruding trailer trashed by train PEAK-hour rail services were thrown into chaos last Thursday after a train struck a trailer at a level crossing in Aspendale.

Frankston line services were suspended in both directions for almost three hours between 5.30-8.30pm following the incident, with buses replacing trains to and from Frankston.

Police said the incident was caused by a male driver towing a standard sized “6 x 4” trailer who failed to clear the tracks when stopped at traffic lights at the level crossing just south of Aspendale station.

The vehicle and trailer were wedged in a narrow gap between the boom gates and traffic lights after the driver crossed from Station St to the Nepean Highway.

The driver of the approaching citybound train saw the protruding trailer but was unable to stop in time. The train “clipped” the rear of the trailer, causing it to jack-knife into the vehicle.

While damage to the train was minimal, emergency protocols required a full safety inspection be completed by public transport officials before services could resume.

Commuters travelling to and from the city faced delays of more than 30 minutes, while traffic around the station was also severely disrupted.

Police said the incident served a timely reminder for drivers to be sure they have sufficient time and space to clear level crossings, especially in heavier traffic conditions and when driving oversized vehicles.

The driver was issued was a traffic violation notice for entering a level crossing when it is unsafe to do so.

Lifesavers are lives savers Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON lifesavers and lifeguards rescued 37 people from drowning during this year’s summer season.

Life Saving Victoria figures revealed lifesavers and lifeguards in the area also took “preventative actions” 1273 times to pre-empt potentially deadly situations for Kingston beachgoers.

First aid help was needed on 145 occasions.

LSV general manager of lifesaving club development Andrew Foran said a proactive approach to lifesaving across Victoria had led to a significant fall in rescues from 790 last year compared to 513 this year.

More than 2.9 million people visited Victoria’s beaches this summer.

“With even more people visiting our patrolled beaches this summer, our lifesavers and lifeguards have made every effort ensure beachgoers safety,” Mr Foran said.

“During the heatwave experienced in January, a number of clubs put on additional patrols on weekdays and evenings, going above and beyond their usual patrols to meet the needs of beachgoers.”

Carrum Life Saving Club vice-president Ben Rooks said lifesavers had carried out three rescues in the area and had taken preventative action in

186 cases.

“We’ve gone out to the mouth of the Patterson River when we’ve known the wind is changing direction and people may get into strife to direct swimmers away from danger,” he said.

Mr Rooks said the month of January was their “busiest time” and, like most Kingston area life saving clubs, lifesavers had put in voluntary evening shifts to ensure night-time swimmers escaping the heat wave were safe.

“Our club house was rebuilt late last year and we have 23 active members at the moment so we’re definitely looking for more volunteers,” Mr Rooks said.

Beach patrols have now finished for the season, but LSV’s Andrew Foran stressed it is even more important for people visiting the beach to be aware of ever present risks and take responsibility for their own safety.

“Drowning deaths occur all year round, not just in summer. In Victoria, more than half of last year’s drowning deaths happened outside of summer,” he said.

Visit beachsafe.org.au for further safety information.

Call Carrum Life Saving Club on 9776 0504 or check out their Facebook page for volunteering information.

Lifesaving patrols will begin again in November.

Graffiti grants SCHOOLS, community groups, police and retailers can now team up with councils for grants of up to $25,000 to fight graffiti.

As part of a state government program, Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford is urging residents, traders and Kingston City Council to think up ways to beat the problem. A better visual amenity would raise our confidence in the safety of public places, she said.

Strategies might include design features such as murals, education and information programs, and graffiti removal projects.”

Ms Wreford said the government was committed to stamping out graffiti at a local level. Applications for grants close on 20 June. Details: www.crimeprevention.vic.gov.au/graffitigrants

CHELSEA SES volunteers will be conducting a letter box drop throughout the entire Waterways estate this Sunday 25 May. An information pack to help residents in the event of localised flooding from storms or heavy rain will be delivered to homes in the area.

Waterways was flooded during the major storm events of 2011 and the SES information guide will contain tips and information that may give homeowners the chance to be better prepared in the event of another flood.

The iniative is part of SES FloodSafe Week which runs from 19-25 May.

‘Brutal’ budget batters struggle street Continued from page 1 She said her group – which “throws a lifeline to people in crisis’’ – had 6200 clients. ‘’They come to us for basically financial reasons and we provide a holistic approach to their problems.’’

She admits her group was “pretty well prepared’’ about possible Budget changes through the Australian Council of Social Services, and that the Government had been ‘’responsive to our concerns’’.

However, she said staff were “bracing’’ themselves for an expected rush on services as the delayed effects of the Budget’s changes became known.

Compounding this is concern that stress generated by the changes will exacerbate health problems.

Jo Cavanagh, CEO of Family Life, said the Budget cuts meant she had ‘’strong concerns for sole parents’’. ‘’We service low income earners, many on benefits, and we are concerned that financial stress will exacerbate problems associated with relationship

breakdowns and a whole range of factors that affect children. Taking money from their parents is really taking it from their kids.’’

Ms Cavanagh said Australia needed a ‘productive and caring’ economy – not just a ‘productive’ economy. “We see people in times of struggle and crisis – and they are already strained. It’s often not an option for kids to stay at home longer [if they cannot get a job or are ineligible for Newstart]. Their parents have pressures too.’’

She said Family Life, which counselled 7000 families last year – had no problems with the Government’s Civil Society Agenda in which ‘’everyone contributes and everyone helps’’ - and that better outcomes occurred when “everyone is involved’’.

“However, we see people that really need support, such as the long-term unemployed and those with mental illness.’’

Family Life staff members were able to give these clients that ‘magic’ ingredient

that points them in the right direction for training or job success.

Ms Cavanagh – a ‘Lifer’ for 20 years - said simplified government funding arrangements would make grant applications easier. ‘’There is less red tape now and we have one contact point for grants, which will cut reporting and administration costs. We want to help people – not fill out forms.’’

She acknowledged the government was committed to prevention and early intervention, and Family Life could help – perhaps easing the pain of a separation before it all ends up in court. “If people have to wait for help their problems become entrenched,’’ she said.

Dr Kathy Landvogt, social policy and research unit manager at Good Shepherd Youth & Family Service – which has offices in Frankston, Hastings and Mornington – said the Budget “lacked coherence and fails its own test of securing the nation’s economic health for the future’’. She said the ‘sharing the pain’ ad-

Peninsula Fireplace AS SEEN ON

age touted by Treasurer Joe Hockey did not justify “savage cuts in payments to single mums, young people, indigenous Australians, those with disabilities and older people. “Their lives just got even more difficult,’’ she said. “At the other end of the spectrum – and only a temporary measure – people earning $180,000 will contribute 2 per cent toward fixing what is now proving to be a false ‘budget emergency’. We are not sharing the pain; we are taking from the most vulnerable.

This is not balanced.’’

Good Shepherd Youth & Family Service has been helping the poor and disadvantaged on the Peninsula since 1976. It assists around 18,000 each year.

Dr Landvogt said the “pain of cuts falls disproportionately on those least able to bear it’’, and describes the cuts to Newstart and the Youth Allowance as “brutal’’.

Maureen Griffin, of the Frankston Food Access Network, said the “assault’’ on the health care system in the federal

Budget was alarming.

“I am saddened by this budget for many reasons but the outstanding one for me is the assault on the primary health care model. This is where people are able to affordably take more responsibility for their own health through government provided health promotion education, and by having a good relationship with a GP to help them through times of physical or mental health problems,” she said. “This is of great importance to those already suffering on-going health issues and, possibly, economic and housing problems as well. Emergency departments and ambulance staff are already well and truly overworked and under resourced.’’

She asked: “What’s the point of winning a Nobel Prize for health research when the health care of citizens in Australia is now being undermined and compromised in this budget? Primary health care and affordable medical support are keys to a healthy society.”

PSOs now on Parkdale patrol PROTECTIVE services officers have begun patrols at Parkdale railway station. The PSOs will patrol the platform, car parks and immediate surrounds to prevent anti-social behaviour, property damage, violence and alcohol and transport-related crime.

Their presence will also ease safety fears for those who might otherwise avoid train travel at night.

The latest deployment takes to 727 the number of PSOs patrolling 118 stations “making inroads against crime, violence and anti-social behaviour’’, according to Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford.

She said the government was on track to recruit and deploy 940 PSOs to suburban rail stations and major regional centres by next November as part of a $212 million investment.

“Locally, we have PSOs at Chelsea, Mordialloc, Parkdale, Mentone

Platform patrol: Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford meets protective services officers who will be stationed at Parkdale into the late evenings.

and Cheltenham. They are coming to Edithvale, Aspendale and Highett soon.”

The rollout of PSOs across the

rail network is “a major investment in community safety and part of the Coalition Government’s commitment to building a better and safer

Victoria’’, the MP said.

“Public safety is paramount and the Coalition Government is doing its part to ensure our streets and public transport are safer.”

“This means people can move around Melbourne with a minimum of inconvenience and help our city maintain its reputation as being highly liveable,” Ms Wreford said.

Since being deployed in early 2012, PSOs have issued more than 25,000 infringement notices at stations across the rail network.

Ms Wreford also said an extra 1700 police would be on the beat

by November at a cost of $602 million.

“This is the single largest lawand-order recruitment exercise in Victoria’s history,’’ she said, adding that this was on top of more than 1500 extra police when the government took office in 2010.

Big wraps for revolution JAMIE Oliver didn’t visit in person to make some school dinners at St Louis de Montfort’s Primary School in Aspendale last Friday, but the celebrity chef was there in spirit as pupils and staff participated in his global Food Revolution Day. Millions of schoolchildren from more than 92 countries followed a 30-minute cooking lesson with Jamie Oliver on Friday 16 May to create a colourful Rainbow Salad Wrap made from fresh ingredients.

Oliver’s Food Revolution Day aims to teach children how to cook healthy meals and eat healthily.

Woolworths in Mordialloc provided the ingredients for St Louis de Montfort’s pupils to use in the school’s newly-built outdoor kitchen area.

School wellbeing leader Julie Wynne said more than 200 children made Rainbow Salad wraps to contribute to the worldwide total.

“It’s been an exciting week for the school with students also winning the Scarecrow Orchestra competition at the Harvest Festival last weekend,” Ms Wynne said.

The school’s scarecrow, named Louis d’Accordian, was named after a French Saint and was made of recycled materials, shredded paper and used clothing.

“He is a very handsome Frenchman with his straw boater, cravat and striped designer shirt,” Ms Wynne said.

Visit www.foodrevolutionday.com for further details about Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day.

the Bauer Brief May 2014

GREAT news from this month’s State Budget announcements that three more schools in the electorate are to get much-needed funds for refurbishment and redevelopment projects. Patterson River Secondary College will get $1 million, Bonbeach Primary School $340,000 and Kananook Primary $300,000 for their projects. This is addition to the $540,000 announced last month for Belvedere Primary, and $875,000 already given to both Seaford and Seaford North primary schools.

I WAS given a fantastic opportunity to meet one of India’s most loved actors at the launch of Melbourne’s 3rd annual Indian Film Festival earlier this month.

Amitabh Bachchan is a legend in the film industry, with more than 12 million fans worldwide. This wonderful event not only provides Melburnians with a smorgasbord of entertainment, but builds on the Victorian Government’s election commitment to build stronger and closer relationships with India.

PROTECTIVE Services Officers are now patrolling Seaford railway station, joining those already deployed to Carrum and Chelsea stations. The new recruits brought the total number of PSOs to 70, patrolling 114 stations across the network. They will patrol the train platform, car parks and immediate surrounds to prevent anti-social behaviour, property damage, and alcohol and transport-related crime. There is no doubt officers are making a difference. Since their initial deployment in February 2012, PSOs have issued more than 20,000 infringements at stations across the rail network.

REMEMBER that June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. The fact is that one in 12 Australians will be diagnosed with bowel cancer by age 85. It affects men and women, young and old and is the second largest cause of cancer deaths in Australia. But if caught in time 90 per cent of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated. Let’s make a vow to talk bowel, and raise awareness about the importance of early detection.

Storage squeeze at men’s shed EVERYONE knows the local men’s sheds are doing a great job – they give retired blokes somewhere to go for a chat, be creative and produce something worthwhile.

But now, with large quantities of timber, materials and equipment flooding in from generous donors, Chelsea Men’s Shed is saying ‘whoa – please stop!’

The shed’s business and community developer, Gary Rogers, told The News they were being snowed under with materials and desperately needed a ‘’benevolent benefactor’’ to offer them space to store the timber until it was required.

This could take the form of a large garage, shed, warehouse or factory leased on a ‘peppercorn’ rental.

LOCAL councils have been encouraged to apply for grants of up to $25,000 to prevent and remove graffiti from their neighbourhood. Graffiti is a blight on local neighbourhoods and the government is serious about responding to community concerns about this vandalism. These grants help to improve the visual amenity of neighbourhoods and increase community confidence in the safety of public places. To be eligible for the anti-graffiti funding, councils are required to enter into partnerships with local community groups.

As a reward, the benefactor could be made a sponsor on the group’s website and brochures, pamphlets and flyers to promote their business.

They could also be made a Shedmate and receive free access to the shed and community meals.

Men attending the Chelsea shed, at 5 Blantyre Ave, behind the Church of Christ, do woodwork, computing, gardening, and a range of other activities. It gets them out of the house and into cheerful company doing something constructive.

The shed has around 30 members with about the same number of men with disabilities on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Mr Rogers said Wednesdays were the big open days with a community breakfast from 8-10am followed by Woodies workshop, computer group

or gardening. “We have up to 80-90 at the breakfasts because a lot of people are isolated,’’ he said.

Thursday starts with the same programs and a community tuck shop from 10am-1pm serving sandwiches and snacks.

Mondays are free for men to come along, get together with blokes, share a laugh and a coffee around the potbelly stove, learn or teach woodwork, computers or gardening, Mr Rogers said.

“So come down any Monday, Wednesday (from 9am-2pm) and Thursday and see what the shed can do for you.’’

Ex-councillor should seek own counsel THE sheer hypocrisy of former councillor Trevor Shewan flies in the face of rational debate.

His outburst at supposed “ secret panels” delivered at a Monday night council meeting highlights why he is a “former councillor”, such is his lack of respect for the duty councillors have in carrying out their roles (‘Secret panels slammed’, The News, 29/4/14).

He well knows that the decision to discuss a matter in camera is not taken lightly by council and is done so on the advice of the CEO. For him to infer otherwise is mischievous at best.

The most surprising aspect of the position he now adopts is that it was he, along with some of his former colleagues serving on the previous council that argued strongly for information relating to sensitive matters of councillor conduct to remain confidential.

Mr Shewan would do well to follow the example set by other former councillors who despite no longer being in office choose to continue supporting residents through a proactive and positive ongoing contribution to the community.

Line ‘improvement’ THE Melbourne Rail Link will provide a massive improvement for people who use the Frankston train line.

The project will increase the capacity of Melbourne’s train network by 30 per cent, allowing more trains on the Frankston line, moving more people, more often.

The Melbourne Rail Link also includes a train line to the airport –

travellers will no longer be slugged by the high prices charged for car parking at Melbourne Airport.

The Melbourne Rail Link works by untangling the train lines at the centre of Melbourne – this means that each suburban line gets its own dedicated track through the CBD. As a result, all Frankston line services will run through South Yarra, Domain, Montague, Southern Cross and the City Loop Stations. This is an improvement on current arrangements – today only a quarter of Frankston services travel through the City Loop.

The Melbourne Rail Link has been warmly welcomed by business groups and the community. But one group opposes it – the State Labor party.

The former Labor Government neglected the Frankston line – punctuality in 2010 was down to an appalling 62.6 per cent. As of April this year, the Napthine Government has lifted punctuality to 87.1 per cent on the Frankston line.

Labor opposes the Melbourne Rail Link, the train to the airport and the $115 million Bayside Rail Improvement project.

Labor cannot manage money and cannot plan for the future.

Kayak crew clean up PATTERSON River Secondary College students went up the creek with a paddle last week. The school’s community leadership class held its annual clean-up Kananook Creek day last Friday.

Students picked up litter along the creek’s banks and also went out in a kayak to collect rubbish from out on the water.

The class found discarded food wrappers, bottles, a basketball ring and even some abandoned bikes.

Student Kaylah Wainwright said the day had made her realise how littering negatively impacted on the creek.

About 160kg of rubbish was collected from the creek between 11am2.30pm on the day.

“After the clean-up, I felt really proud of the class for completing a successful day of making in the creek and around the creek a cleaner place,” she said.

Classmate Amber Curtis was “shocked” at how much rubbish was found.

“People throw in the creek, for example a chip packet, and think ‘it’s only one chip packet’. Except the real question is, how many people have thrown in ‘one chip packet’ before the next person threw in theirs?”

Time to take out the trash: Patterson River Secondary students Eunika Burger. (front) and Kaylah Wainwright (back) use a mechanical arm to grab rubbish from the creek and its banks.

I’m envisaging big guys with no necks and lots of gold jewellery who tell me repeatedly with a menacing tone “He’s not answering that question”.

The day has come. We go back and forth a few times and agree to meet at a boxing gym in Moorabbin where he is training with a couple of up-andcoming boxers. He meets me with an outstretched arm and a broad smile.

There is no bluster or pretence here.

Just an extremely fit, extremely strong and extremely dedicated boxer.

His Twitter handle says a lot about the man “Professional boxer, motivational speaker, a fighter for the underprivileged; proud father & husband.” That is Sam Soliman.

The first thing I realise is that training is everything. Sam trains six days over an eight day cycle, and if any of you have every done boxing at the gym, it is possibly the highest intensity training one can imagine.

Sam is a middle weight boxer who boasts an impressive record.

“55 fights and only 11 losses,” said Sam. “And all champions there. No duds.”

gym in Moorabbin are a couple of young boxers. Sam trains them and they, in turn, give him someone to train with. It is an immediate side of Sam that I didn’t count on. He is dedicated to boxing; not just his own success, but the success of the sport as a whole.

The gym is nothing special. In fact, it is

something more akin to a Rocky movie, and one of the earliest ones at that. Sure there are no punching cow carcasses here, but there is no great glamour.

Plain walls are covered in posters and press clippings as well as framed and signed pictures of well-known boxers.

contender for its middleweight title provided he won against Queenslander Les Sherrington in December and Sam didn’t disappoint.

He knocked Sherrington out and knew it was “game on”.

He stood up in the ring and addressed his adoring fans.

“I want to let Felix Sturm know that ...I’m coming after him.”

After 23 years boxing, Sam is now facing his biggest test. A shot... perhaps his only chance... at a world title.

He is fighting the current world champion, Felix Sturm for the IBF Middleweight World Title in Germany on Saturday 31 May. “Getting a world title bout is like climbing Mt Everest. It’s taken me 23 years. You get to base camp and line up at the foot of the summit for your turn to conquer the peak.”

“I’ve paid my dues, and I’m ready. I couldn’t have said that five years ago, but now I can. I’m fighting smarter, and I’m jumping out of my skin to hear the referee say: “seconds out”.

“My mission is to bring the IBF Middleweight World Title back to Australia.”

Sam has history on his side. He has beaten Sturm before. He is confident he can do it again.

The IBF boasts World Champions that include: Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, George Forman, Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins and Marvin Hagler.

Sam has now jetted off from Melbourne to an undisclosed location in Europe where he will continue his preparation.

He doesn’t plan to come home empty handed.

room reading “Nothing soft comes out of Moorabbin”. Who am I to argue?

Sam Soliman starting boxing at 14.

Before that, he had spent five years doing Tae Kwon Do and other martial arts.

What inspired him to get into martial arts in the first place?

“Simple. Bruce Lee”, said Sam. “What kid doesn’t want to be like Bruce Lee?” Sam is of Coptic Egyptian descent, and both of his paretns were born in Egypt. It certainly must have prevented any schoolyard bullying to be so capable at looking after himself from such and early age.

These days he works with schools on anti-violence programs.

“It is called Choices and is a campaign aimed at kids between 15-17. It basically tells them that violence isn’t the answer.”

This seems a duality to someone who doesn’t know much about boxing. It seems like a violent sport.

“Boxing is about discipline,” said Sam. “It is the exact opposite to the random acts of violence that I campaign against.’

“Boxing is about balancing mental and physical toughness. Without mental toughness, physical toughness is useless.

Without physical toughness, mental toughness is useless.”

Asked whether it worries him he might get hurt, he is quick to reply, “Nah... I never get hit. Ask anyone. I never get hit.”

The forty year old believes he has everything it takes to get the world title.

He also realizes it his one big chance.

And while Australian champion is something to be very proud of, world champion has a particular ring to it.

‘Gang of six’ dares to dream on station revamp Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FORMER Frankston mayor Christine Richards made the rejuvenation of Frankston’s railway station, surrounds and its bus interchange a priority when she was a councillor and has not given up the dream of seeing change at the long-time blight on Frankston’s reputation.

Ms Richards called time on her council stint in 2012 after serving a four-year term as a councillor. She decided to try to find a work-life balance in the wake of a bout of cancer.

However, she has now decided to try to effect change for the better from outside the environs of city hall by establishing the Frankston Community Coalition, a group of six people who aim to “be active in the 2014 state government election to be held this November”.

Ms Richards, environmentalist Jenny Hattingh, conservationist Trevor Nock, Frankston Business Chamber president Peter Patterson, service groups leaders Trudy Poole and Ken Rowe make up the “gang of six”.

The group’s first aim is to try to get the Frankston Station redevelopment project back on track.

Ms Richards, the group’s convenor, told The News it was vital for Frankston Station to become “an attractive and drug-free station and public transport precinct” for residents and visitors to the area alike.

“Frankston Station is a perennial problem that has been neglected by both major parties for decades,” she

Out of steam: A group of Frankston businesspeople have launched their own draft plan to rejuvenate Frankston train station and its surrounds. Picture: Gary Sissons

said. “Money is already on the table for the Frankston train station but it’s being misspent. Solutions have been promised by parliamentarians, but have not been properly delivered by the bureaucrats.”

Ms Richards slammed the state government’s latest $13.8 million Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan released late last month as a waste of $3 million spent on the project to date.

“It looks like a child’s coloured pencil drawing,” Ms Richards said.

The Frankston Community Coalition

commissioned an alternative draft plan for Frankston station and its surrounds.

Ms Richards said Langwarrin designer and drafter Andrew Ferris took just 24 hours to complete a draft free of charge to the group.

“Andrew’s plans provide substantial additional parking for Frankston train commuters, shoppers and future swimmers who’ll be visiting the new aquatic centre,” Ms Richards said.

“By contrast, the State Government plans cut-back on parking and further discourage car-travellers from entering the city.”

Mr Ferris’ draft plan envisages Frankston City Council relocating from its present office building at Davey St to land owned by council off Fletcher Rd near the train station.

“The proposed council office footprint of 2620 is slightly larger than the existing building, but would have at least five storeys, with a carpark underneath” Mr Ferris said.

“The building can incorporate key green initiatives including solar panels, water re-use, some recycled materials, with far better facilities, meeting rooms and staff areas. The corner site links with the new pool, and is a prominent position that is currently under-utilised. Additional levels could be let to private industry.

Office occupants would enjoy bay views.”

Mr Ferris said the sale of the existing council offices could provide funds for the project, along with money from state and federal sources allocated for transport infrastructure.

A traffic engineer would have to be hired to ensure traffic jams did not become a problem in the area, according to Mr Ferris.

Independent maverick MP Geoff Shaw has toed the Liberal Party line on the Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan saying in state parliament last week that Frankston residents’ views would be taken into account when redeveloping the train station and its surrounds and asking state transport minister Terry Mulder to clarify whether the $13.8m project is “a waste of money”.

“There is a small group of agitators,

led by a former mayor and backed by certain Frankston councillors, criticising the plans through the media. The agitators are stating that this is all a waste of money for a few trees and cosmetics,” Mr Shaw said.

In reply, Mr Mulder said the state government’s draft plan had been finalised after “extensive community engagements” and “a series of design workshops held in 2013-14 between state and local government.”

“I say to those agitators who raise the issue of transport safety and efficiency before trees, the amenity of the station is just as important as the efficiency of the public transport network and the way the public transport network interacts with the community,” Mr Mulder said.

“The PSOs [protective services officers] on the station, the upgrade to the Frankston line, the money we have invested in maintaining and improving that line have resulted in a massive increase in [trains] punctuality – 90.8 per cent over 12 months.”

Community feedback on the state government’s Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan can be lodged by Friday 23 May via www.dpcd.vic.gov.au Ms Richards said the Frankston Community Coalition is holding a public meeting about its plans to transform Frankston station at Mechanics Hall in Plowman Place on Thursday 22 May at 7.30pm. Doors open at 7.15pm.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au ENTERTAINER Todd McKenney really does become Peter Allen in his new stage show Todd McKenney Sings Peter Allen coming to the Frankston Performing Arts Centre on Saturday 31 May. The show is the 11th of a 12-venue tour running throughout mostly regional NSW and Victoria since 4 April.

McKenney is a ‘natural’ as Allen: both are outrageous, quick-witted and high-energy entertainers who love to strut their stuff and ‘connect’ with their audiences. Both began entertaining at an early age, with McKenney dancing from age three.

He became well known to TV audiences after portraying Allen in the original 1998 production of The Boy from Oz. He was a judge on Australia’s version of Dancing with the Stars and has won many dancing titles, being trained in jazz, tap, acrobatics and ballroom.

He’s also known for his acerbic wit and irreverent sense of humour. He’s said to be as fit as he’s ever been and matches Allen’s noted high energy on stage.

The show is not just McKenney singing Peter Allen’s hits, but also songs from his earlier musical theatre performances.

He’ll tell stories and anecdotes about Allen, as well as lots of ‘’goss’’ from Dancing with the

Stars.

Speaking to The News on Friday, McKenney said he first saw the flamboyant Peter Allen at the Perth concert hall in 1977 doing what he did best - a oneman show. ‘’Mum had been given free tickets and we had seats close to the front. I was 14 and it was my first live show.

And, yes, I was enthralled. It made a huge impact on me.’’

Asked if Allen had become something of an alter ego, McKenney said: ‘’I must admit I was very taken by him and so I’d have to say ‘yes’. We are cut from the same cloth, so to speak, and he kind of organically seeped into my being.’’

Inspired by Allen’s stage char-

acter and outgoing personality, McKenney said he worked hard learning to talk and connect with members of his audience. ‘’Now I can do most of it naturally,’’ he said.

“I learned that, as I didn’t have a massive technical range, I would have to learn to be able to tell a story ... to sell myself to the audience by telling them a story.’’

A favourite song in the show is Tenterfield Saddler, which he said audiences usually greeted with ‘aahs!’ ‘’It’s an emotional song and they usually sing along to it. Another favourite is Fly Away.

The performer has sold out twice at the arts centre – most recently a year ago. ‘’I really like performing there; it has great acoustics and I can feel the audience.’’

So far the 12-show tour has done well: ‘’We’ve sold out everywhere,’’ he said.

McKenney has had a busy 12 months, working in the stage show Grease in Melbourne, preparing for this tour, his new album (of the same name as the tour), his role in The Production Company show La Cage Aux Folles, and now the centre stage shows.

The Frankston performance will have a difference. Organisers say members of the audience with a question should call it out during the show - and McKenney will likely answer it.

And, they say, you’re most welcome to score his performance a la Dancing with the Stars.

Happy kids close to Steve’s heart AUTHOR Steve Biddulph is a highly regarded public speaker, having enthralled 130,000 parents in his entertaining talks over 30 years, and selling four million copies of his books.

The Secrets of Happy Children, Raising Boys, The New Manhood and now Raising Girls books have been translated into 27 languages, spreading his advice and observations around the world in moving, funny but always practical ways.

Frankston parents will be able to hear this entertaining speaker in two talks at High Street Uniting Church later this month: The Secrets of Happy Children will be held at 7.30pm on Monday, 26 May and Raising Girls at 7.30pm on Tuesday 27 May. Proceeds will go to community projects in Frankston.

A family psychologist for 25 years, Biddulph is retired but continues to write and teach. His work has influenced the way we look at childhood and, especially, the development of boys and men.

Today, though, the exploitation and misuse of girls and young women globally are his major concern.

That concern prompted him to speak overseas.

He sold out a number of theatre tours across the UK and hopes to return there again later this year.

Many are surprised at how moving and emotional his talks are, as well as how much fun.

In The Secrets of Happy Children talk, Biddulph will discuss what’s really happening inside kids’ minds, how to be a stronger, more loving, more relaxed parent, how to help toddlers and children feel secure and settled, discipline methods that work, making sure your love gets through and the child-care dilemma.

In Raising Girls, he will discuss what’s happening to our girls. At all ages, they need our help to believe in themselves, he says. They are

growing up too fast, are stressed and unhappy.

Yet girlhood is meant to be an adventure and a joy. From toddlerhood to teens, there are specific things you can do to help them to be wise, warm and strong.

Tickets at www.frankstonuniting.org.au are $30 which includes a light supper.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Fire above Mr Coxall’s butcher; horse bolts in Bay Street Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR J Millard narrowly escaped a severe loss on Wednesday, when one of his valuable draught horses by some means fell into a hole several feet deep in the yard. The animal was, after some difficulty, extricated, and appeared none the worse for its fall. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason notify that they will hold a clearing sale of household furniture and effects on Wednesday, 3rd June, on the premises, Hastings Road, Frankston, on account of Mr W A Mohr, who has sold his property and is leaving for West Australia. *** IN answer to an inquiry, the following remedy for blight-affected wattle of trees has been received by Mr J Reynolds from the Department of Agriculture. “Try spraying with miscible red oil emulsion at 1 of oil to 30 gallons of water. Spray in winter, Test on a few trees before generally using it.” *** WHAT might have been a serious conflagration occurred in an upstairs bedroom at Mr A Coxall’s butchers shop and residence on Monday afternoon.

How the fire occurred is not known, but when discovered it had been burning some time, as the bed clothes were almost totally destroyed. The fire was put out without any serious damage being done. *** SUNDAY next has been appointed Foreign Mission Sunday in the Frankston Circuit of the Methodist Church. The Rev C O Lelean, of Fiji, has be been appointed the deputa-

tion, and will preach in the Frankston Church in the morning, Langwarrin in the afternoon, and at Somerville in the evening. Meetings wil also be held during the week at Tyabb on Monday, and Somerville on Tuesday, Langwarrin on Wednesday, and Frankston on Thursday, commencing at 8 o’clock each evening. *** A camp of continuous training for trainees who were absent with or without leave from the regular training camps is to be held at he Langwarrin, commencing on May 28th. Only in cases where the trainees have obtained permission to absent themselves from the regular camps will pay be given for attendance, provided that no opportunity has arisen for their attending camp in the meanwhile. Legal proceedings will at once be taken against trainees who do not attend this camp. *** MAJOR C W Cambell introduced Mr J O Inglis to Frankston on Friday afternoon last, and the visitor was so impressed with Frankston as a seaside resort, that he purchased all the allotments (three in number) that Mr Jolly had to sell. This makes a total of seventy four building allotments bought

by Mr Jolly in Frankston during the past eighteen months, all of which were purchased through the local agents Mr J Nott Marsh and Messrs Brody and Mason. Mr Jolly has now resold all his allotments at satisfactory prices. *** AN exciting bolt occurred in Bay Street, Frankston, on Wednesday morning, when the horse being driven

by Mr C McKenzie got out of control.

In crossing between the gardens, the jinker was overturned, and the occupants precipitated on to the road.

The jinker again righted itself and the horse crossed the road onto the footpath in front of Jacobs, where it fell, and slid along the path for some distance. On regaining its feet, the animal careered madly along the footpath, which it left near Cham Berlin’s, and took to the road. A tree on the Melbourne road freed the horse of its incubus and turned the jinker on its side with badly bent axle and other damage. The driver and his brother luckily escaped injury, as also did the horse.

Complaints have recently reached us from Langwarrin residents, complaining of the practise of some of the people in the district of poisoning rabbits without posting notices, and afterwards throwing the dead rabbits on to the road.

*** THE annual sale of gifts in aid of the support of students in New Guinea will be held in the Methodist Church Schoolroom this afternoon and evening (Saturday), commencing at 3 o’clock. *** COMPLAINTS have recently reached

us from Langwarrin residents, complaining of the practise of some of the people in the district of poisoning rabbits without posting notices, and afterwards throwing the dead rabbits on to the road. Several valuable dogs have thus been poisoned and the owners are full of righteous indignation.

There is a penalty for anyone laying poison without posting notices, and the carcases are supposed to be buried or otherwise disposed of. Forewarned is forearmed, and those who at present are indiscriminately throwing poison about should in future be careful that they comply with the regulations. *** MR Justice Bailhache, speaking at the Legal Temperance Society, said that if anyone wanted to be converted to the cause of Temperance, the best thing would be to make him a judge, and in a few months he would find out how much crime was due to intemperance.

He was safe in saying that two-thirds of the crimes into which violence entered were directly traceable to drink. *** MORNINGTON V SOMERVILLE The above teams met for the first time this season at Mornington when there was a good attendance to witness the match. The weather was all that could be desired, and a good exhibition of football was witnessed. The home team had a strong combination on the field but Somerville were without the services of some of their leading players. In the first quarter, the home team came with a dash and very quickly notched two goals and three behinds, the visitors being only able to reply with 4 minor points. The second term was fairly even, though Mornington

scored 4.1 to Somerville’s 2.3. The half time scores were: Mornington 6.4 Somerville 2.7. The final scores were Mornington 7.9 to Somerville 5.11. *** FRANKSTON V TYABB A good muster of spectators assembled in the Frankston park on Saturday last when Tyabb visited here to try conclusions with the local club.

Umpire Whyte had charge of the game, but in many instances gave the players too much latitude. The day was an ideal one for football, and the ground was in perfect order. Harley captained the home team, while Slocombe had charge of the visiting team.

At the commencement of the game, Slocombe was awarded a free kick, and sent the ball well into Frankston’s territory. Smith and Harley, with the aid of Downs, soon relieved the back line, and the ball was taken well out of danger. Downs then collared and his kick resulted in a sixer being scored.

This was followed by a point soon afterwards. Longmuir and Slocombe rushed the ball away, and soon had Frankston backs hard at work. Millington was then given a penalty kick in front of goal, and raised both flags.

Harley relieved the situation, and a pass from Jackson to Wilson increased the home team’s score by a point.

Schmidt put in some nice work for the visitors, until Clements and Harley rushed the oval along, with the result of another minor out of a scrimmage.

The final scores were Frankston 10.13 (73 points) to Tyabb 4.4 (28 points).

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance IT is 50 years since The Go Show hit the airwaves in 1964 to become the must-watch music show for a new generation of teenagers. It was a ground-breaking phenomenon when it first went to air 50 years ago, introducing live and local pop music for the first time. It hit television screens hot on the heels of the lifestyle shattering tour of The Beatles, creating the perfect vehicle for a stable of local teen stars and changing the lives of generations of baby boomers.

2014 marks the fourth The Go Show reunion tour and the demand for the return each year has been incredible.

The 50 year anniversary show will feature the songs that made these artists house-hold names in Australia and we guarantee to bring back some great memories, musical highlights and a chance to relive the past for the many baby boomer fans that come out in force to hear the music from the past they love ‘The Go Show Gold’ team has created a perfect reflection of the times.

Opera Australia and John Frost, producers of the hit musical The King and I, are pleased to announce a partnership with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) that will see this lavish and opulent production deliver much needed funds to Australia’s preeminent child health research institute.

The King and I is providing 600 tickets to an exclusive dress rehearsal performance on Sunday June 8 at 6pm for which all proceeds are donated to this worthwhile charity. The funds collected from this performance will go towards research into conditions affecting children, such as allergies, diabetes and obesity, as well as finding answers to unsolved problems, such as cancer and genetic conditions.

The King and I was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s fifth musical together and is considered one of the jewels in their crown. It was based on Margaret Landon’s 1944 novel Anna and the King of Siam, which took its inspiration from the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, a British governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam (now Thailand) in the early 1860s.

The beautiful score includes the songs I Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You, Shall We Dance? and Hello, Young Lovers.

For the Melbourne season, four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune plays English governess Anna Leonowens opposite international stage and screen star Jason Scott Lee as the King.

Murdoch Children’s is Australia’s preeminent child health research institute, recognised globally for its child health discoveries. With over 1500 researchers, the Institute conducts vital research into conditions affecting babies, children and adolescents.

Our current research priorities include

read the newspaper? Or Billy Shorten at $13,000 for a table of 10 at a Labor fundraising dinner. How much for a sit alone table Billy? One thing I can guarantee, neither function will make mention of the Mornington Peninsula.

I shouldn’t complain, at least they come from Melbourne. Marta won out in the conclusion of Janet King as we knew she would, but why didn’t they dust Vince’s pen for fingerprints? I checked in on The Logies for 30 minutes and immediately copped two favourites in Steven Currie and Shane Jacobson co-presenting an award; being funny but not funny.

Caught an interview with real talents in Carrie Bickmore and Esse Davis, both deserving but came away empty.

As always in the best actor awards (Locky Hume?) one wonders who does the voting? Yawn. *** Our government is considering approving the hire of nannies from Indonesia and the Philippines. Six days a week, food, clothing and medical insurance, 2 weeks leave, return air fares and a weekly wage of $200. Sounds good to me. Must one have children? *** The adulation for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is widespread. Gushing from newsreaders and other commentators and the real joy on the faces of the many thousands who flock to catch a glimpse underline this happiness.

To this day I have no idea or connection to people who flock to see royal celebrities. I may well be missing out on something but I feel no loss.

Good luck to all those happy royal watchers.

*** Newlyweds across Australia to be given a $200 voucher for marriage counselling as part of a $20 million trial to strengthen relationships and avoid family breakdowns? “Having counselling before marriage helps us understand getting married will make changes to the fairytale love that is present at the beginning of a relationship. At the same time we can realise the love is still there regardless of changes; two people are committed to living together, and along with this come responsibilities of work, a mortgage, children, daily expenses.

All may affect the mood of either partner at various times”. Love is blind darlings. Always has been, always will be. I remember the priest (lovely chap) giving me the good oil over three two hourly meetings before marriage but I have no memory of his words, forgotten on my way to the car. *** You have to admire the Coalition tactics. They set up this tommyrot National Commission of Audit headed by Tony Shepherd and arrive at draconian suggestions, almost none of which will be acted upon, but indeed softening the groundwork for the budget (bad cop/ good cop) and in the process adding brainwashing (alarmist rhetoric) for followers of the former triple A Labor Government. *** As I see it we are not in a financial crisis

The King And I opens at the Princess Theatre, Sunday 8 June, 2014. Tickets 1300 111 011. www.thekingandimusical.com.au *** Some of Australia’s best country performers have each chosen songs for a special CD, Send It Down Hughie 2, to raise funds to help drought-stricken farmers.

Although there have been good falls of rain in some areas, the pressure on farming families is still great with many in need of financial support just to survive.

Twenty-one artists and their labels have enthusiastically collaborated with Country Music Capital News magazine to produce this album.

All proceeds from sales will be delivered direct to farming families most in need through the volunteer services of Aussie Helpers, who have been supporting farmers for more than 12 years.

The album also features the great works of Roo Arcus, Troy Cassar-Daley, Adam Harvey, Luke O’Shea, Bob Corbett, John Williamson, Luke Dickens, Dean Perrett, Graham Rodger, Adam Eckersley Band, Kasey Chambers, Felicity Urquhart, Kaylee Bell and many more.

Send It Down Hughie 2 is only $30 delivered to your home. To order your copy and support our farmers visit www.senditdown.com.au For more information about Aussie Helpers Ltd visit www.aussiehelpers. org.au

A Grain of Salt WRITERS abound these days, easier via a computer, stolen and re-written, learned and ignorant alike. To get themselves a name, bewitched with fame and honour?

Many pretend public good, more likely pride and vanity. Some, like me, to show they are still alive.

“Skim off the cream of other people’s wits, pick the choice flowers of the tilled gardens to set out their own sterile plots” or “lard their lean books with the fat of others’ works” Self publish even?

Oh my God, May already, seven long years since I began writing this column.... *** How about our state budget? Denis the menace in action. Lots of money for Frankston High School, next to nothing for the TAFE debacle.

Here’s me thinking the major public concerns are health and hospitals, but no, it’s a train line to Melbourne Airport which, due to my age (sadly) I’ll never see.

Shades of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

Oh well, there’s always the widening of the Skybus route, and Danny Boy Andrews will soften the trip to Melbourne by eliminating those level crossings, assuming I can afford car rego. *** I don’t get it. $3000 for lunch and access to Joe Hockey and his mates. Why not go buy some fish and chips and

PAGE 26

*** Telstra advises people with 4G coverage is the only choice for “people who are going places” but that’s as ridiculous as it sounds.

Technological changes (advances?) in such a short span of years. What of the experts predictions? An education revolution? Human nature, as in laziness, bullying, stalking, stupidity, pornography, dirty tricks, crime and corruption survive and wars do not disappear.

The big three, money, sex and power ever present. I see big business and governments having more power, thus many more have-nots and fewer haves.

Privacy may disappear for the vast majority; ASIO almost insignificant alongside the likes of Google and Facebook.

Fortunately we live in hope; no other choice.

Enjoy the day. A Collingwood victory helps. *** Have we got any other actors? Marta Dusseldorp, Vince Colosimo, Shane Jacobson.

Thousands of other performers, some arguably better, but no. Every time I turn the box on there they are.

and haven’t been for years, nor according to the ABS is there any imminent threat of one. Joe exaggerates if you care to examine his pronouncements.

No big deal, but surely the lack of intelligent response from Billy Shorten is enough to cause concern? It’s like football Billy Boy. You let a team get a run on and the game is almost over. It’s on your shoulders, unless you’re secretly on the side of the CEOs? *** Power may corrupt kiddies, but it’s not necessarily helpful in a fist fight...Winter approaches, keep a lookout for females making pea and ham soup...“The broader the smile the longer you live” according to a survey done by Psychological Science? “If you have an opinion on something in life, then you’ve got to have the courage to state it publicly.

The empire of rhyme strikes back

By Stuart McCullough MY nephew Jake had a problem. As a thoughtful and considerate uncle, it was only natural that I should help.

His football team was assigning nicknames – apparently, such things no longer occur spontaneously – and he got lumbered with ‘Beefy’. This is not a reference to his physical dimensions (he’s as lean as a whippet) but rather to his surname: Cowburn.

We both rued an opportunity lost.

Using the logic adopted by his teammates could easily have resulted in an awesome nickname, like ‘T-Bone’, ‘Lord Bovine’ or ‘The Burger King’.

Even ‘Beef Pattie Newton’ has a certain charm. Given the names inflicted on some of the other players though, my nephew got off lightly. Suffice to say that one of the larger kids got saddled with the irretrievably unflattering, The Wall with Eyes.

Instantly, I knew what I had to do.

As his uncle, I needed to immediately conjure up a new nickname for Jake – one imbued with just the right balance of mystery and danger. One as unlike Beefy as was humanly possibly without resorting to Klingon.

“From this moment,” I solemnly declared, “you shall be known as Nighthawk”. It sounded and felt right.

My nephew was happy. All was well.

That is, until he decided to reciprocate.

“From this moment on, you shall be known as Not-So-Slim Shady.”

I could only recoil in horror. Or, possibly, challenge the cheeky beggar to a rap battle.

It’s true that no good deed should go unpunished. So while Nighthawk

will now be the envy of his peers, particularly The Wall with Eyes, I am left to wrestle with the indignity that is being the Unreal Slim Shady.

That’s not to say that my nephew doesn’t have a point. It’s a proven scientific fact that my rhyming skills are highly advanced and that, for a brief time, I considered becoming a full time rapper. But, truth be told, while there are some obvious benefits

to being a rapper, there are some substantial downsides too. While a career in rap is a virtual license to wear a tracksuit at all times, you run the risk of being gunned down in a drive by.

Or having another rapper make fun of you in a song, thus necessitating some kind of musical retaliation. It seems like a lot of trouble.

That said, rappers have the best names. These aren’t assigned at birth

but created by the artists themselves.

Grandmaster Flash was born Joseph Saddler, Kurtis Blow was Kurt Walker and the inestimable Snoop Doggy Dogg is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr to his mum. Taking a new name is an act of self-creation, one in which the artist fabricates a mythology while simultaneously ‘keeping it real’. It’s one of many contradictions that are an inherent part of the hip-hop universe of which I am now a part. This is to be contrasted with the world of singers who, more often than not, accept the name they’re given.

Suffice to say, Celine Dion has and will always be Celine Dion, rather than, say, MC Lungbuster.

As Not-So-Slim Shady, I have to acknowledge that my new nomenclature is merely a rip-off of somebody else’s alter ego. The Real Slim Shady is better known as the rapper, Eminem. In turn, the name Eminem was derived from his actual name, Marshall Mathers. As Marshall Mathers is to Eminem, by rights, I really ought to be S and M (albeit spelled as ‘Esinem’). For a range of reasons that require little in the way of imagination, this should be strenuously avoided at all costs.

Since being bequeathed my name, I have made some changes. Already I have requested new business cards.

I have updated my ‘LinkedIn’ profile to include freestyle rapping as one of my skills. Next week, I’ll include break-dancing too, as soon as I’ve remastered the art of the backspin. I no longer shake hands. Instead, I greet people using a series of elaborate

hip-hop gestures. In fact, being christened Not-So-Slim Shady has been liberating. For years I have wanted to bust out an avalanche of rhyme but the ideal moment never presented itself. The right moment to pump up the jams never does when your name is Stuart. But for Not-So-Slim Shady, every conversation is just another chance to pummel my opponent with a cavalcade of syllables as I dazzle people with my flow. But aside from bringing the rhyme and wearing tracksuits, there’s one thing that rappers prize above all else: revenge.

On Sunday, Nighthawk will take to the field with his football team.

Doubtless, The Wall with Eyes will be there. But it’s no ordinary match.

Jake/Nighthawk will be playing his one hundredth game. At first, I thought about sabotaging the banner, perhaps deliberately misspelling his name. My nephew would be disappointed to have to run through a banner that read, ‘WELL DONE JACK’.

But that would be petty.

I have another idea. Luckily, I still have my old drum machine – Dr Rhythm – and tracksuit pants. When the half-time siren sounds, I will race out to the centre of the ground and start bringing the rhyme. It will be a kind of tribute to my nephew with plenty of profanities thrown in to keep the umpires on their toes. It seems the least I can do after being given a new lease on life as Not-SoSlim Shady. Well done Jack, Jake, Nighthawk. Enjoy the rhyme-fest.

Kickin’ it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Stonecats flex their muscles PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW flexed its muscles on Saturday and once again highlighted that it is the measuring stick in Peninsula League, thrashing Edithvale-Aspendale.

Heading to the home of the reigning premier has become a frightful experience for most clubs in the past couple of seasons, however it held no fears for the Stonecats on Saturday.

YCW led at every change, extended their lead throughout and finished with a ten goal to three hammering in the last 30 minutes, winning 22.20-152 to 9.11-65.

The Eagles can thank their lucky stars that the visitors struggled for accuracy in front of goal. With 42 scoring shots to 20, the margin should have been closer to 100 points.

The game was marred by injury with the Eagles hit worst.

Mark Mullins appeared to break his hand, forward recruit Jarrod Garth pinged a hamstring, Beau and Tom Turner both appeared to injure themselves and ‘man-mountain’ ruckman Markham Johnston looked as though he tweaked an ankle.

It was a shame for the Eagles, who appeared to have their best side for the year with Tim Mannix and Tim Mavric both included.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Stonecats either with Anthony Totaro appearing to rupture his ACL. He broke his arm last year.

Ben Tellis was unbelievable for the winners on Saturday with six goals.

Kevin Lylak had the ball on a string and Lachy Wallace was freed from Collingwood VFL duties once again and finished with three goals.

Steve Mannix and Craig Wray were the best of the Eagles, while Brad Tagg also worked hard.

Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers said it was good day at the office on Saturday.

“Other than the injuries, it was a terrific day for us,” said Scott.

“We had our best side in for the year and we headed to Edithvale quietly confident that we could do well.

“They lost a few players early and then again in the third quarter, which really helped us to dominate the last

quarter like we did.”

Mathers said Totaro was a big loss to the team.

“Anthony was playing a key defensive role for us and was getting better each week. On Saturday we gave him the job on Garth,” he said.

“This allowed us to use Carroll (Dale) up forward, which we have been wanting to do for some time.

“It’s a shame to see him go down.

He hasn’t had a lot of luck with injury.”

Langwarrin goes into the first break of the season with a five-one win-loss record after controlling the match for four quarters against Seaford.

Other than the Tigers kicking the last two goals of the third quarter and the first major in the last term, Langwarrin was in command for the remainder of the match, winning 14.18-102 to 12.9-81.

Kangas coach Gavin Artico said while “it was great to come away with the four points”, he still believed his side was far from its best.

“To be honest, I still don’t believe the message is getting through to them. In saying that, we are six weeks into the season, we’ve lost on one game by less than a kick against last season’s grand finalists and we are yet to put our best team on the paddock,” said Artico.

“I do expect a lot from the teams that I coach. We have plans for the opposition for a reason but sometimes we just aren’t playing to instruction.

“I am seeing improvements in the team every week and there is no doubt a lot of individual improvement is going on.

“As we get closer to getting our best team on the park, hopefully we start playing some of our best footy for longer periods.”

On Saturday, Liam Hogan continued his great form after crossing from Dromana, while Dan Wehner and Andrew Withers are playing fantastic footy. Kieran Albanese kicked his first goal in senior football and Jake Smith was in for his first game of the season and finished with two majors.

For the Tigers, Tommy Shaw booted four goals and Aaron Walton was among the best.

Mornington is well placed at the bye having thrashed Chelsea by al-

Top of the mountain for Hillmen NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED HILL has claimed top spot on the Nepean League ladder after leading all day to beat Crib Point.

In the battle for top spot, Red Hill jumped out of the blocks and led at every change, eventually winning 14.8-92 to 10.13-73.

The Hillmen dethroned the Magpies at the top of the ladder, led by Marcus Dal Lago and YCW recruit Paul Wintle.

In attack, Red Hill continues to get maximum benefit from Jarrod Eames, who finished with four goals, while Ben Maguiness (three majors) is getting forward and contributing on the scoreboard, something that is new to his game.

Matt Hyden played his best game for the Hillmen since crossing from Ballarat in the off-season and Michael Mock is delivering on a consistent basis.

The visitors got as much as six goals up during the second quarter, however, as it has done often this season, the Magpies never threw the cue in the rack.

The Pies couldn’t get closer than three goals though.

Luke Herrington and Dean Warry

were outstanding for the black and white while Glenn Boyd was dominant again in attack with four goals.

Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said he knew Crib Point would come at them.

“Their form suggests that they are fit and play the game right to the final siren,” said Blackford.

“We knew that to beat a good side like Crib Point, we had to play 100 minutes of football. We saw against Rye what can happen if you drop off.”

Blackford said he was happy where his team was at heading into the bye.

“If I had of told you we would be on top of the ladder with just one loss after six rounds, I’m sure you would have said we were getting ahead of ourselves,” said Blackford.

“We added some very good players to a talented list during the off-season and we knew that if we could bring our best to the table each week, we would be competitive against every side.

“We’ve learned some valuable lessons along the way. However, we are only six games in and there’s a lot of football still to be played,” he said.

Frankston Bombers went very close to causing the upset of the season, going down to Sorrento by just nine points, 9.9-63 to 10.14-74.

It took a last quarter onslaught from

the Sharks to get over the line after trailing the Bombers at every change.

The home side led Sorrento by 16 points at quarter time, ten points at half time and by eight points at the last change.

However, the likes of Jonny Casper, Trevor Mattison and Leigh Poholke with five goals really stood up for the Sharks in the final term and they were able to boot 5.2 to 2.1 to grab victory.

Once again, despite being in a winnable position, the Bombers were unable to hold off a fast finishing opposition (it happened against Hastings on Anzac Day).

Jay Reynolds with three goals was again outstanding for the Bombers, while Jason Bedford was back and at his best. Ryan Marks-Logan was also a four quarter contributor for the Bombers.

Dromana and Pearcedale went on a goal feast on Saturday, booting 46 between them.

Anthony Bruhn booted eight for the Tigers, while Steve Gaertner booted five and Daniel Waddell four in their 31.15-201 to 15.12-102 victory.

It’s amazing to think that the Panthers booted 15 goals and still went down by 99 points.

Basil Sibosado was again outstanding for the Panthers with four goals

while Ben Cadd and Dylan Hoare led from the front.

Hastings, despite missing a handful of their best players, proved too strong for Devon Meadows.

The Blues led at every change with Steve Robb carrying on his reserves domination with four goals.

The Blues extended their lead at every break, winning 16.10-106 to 6.9-45.

Daniel Wishart is playing inspired football at the moment and he is almost unstoppable when he is at his best. Colin McVeigh is another who is at the top of his game and Luke Hewitt was outstanding with four goals.

Devon Meadows booted just two goals in the second half and didn’t kick a goal in the third quarter.

Despite being extremely active in the off season with recruits, Devon is really disappointing.

James Bow booted four to be a highlight and Jesse Dehey was back to his best, along with Gavin Kerr.

Rye was able to hold off a fast finishing Somerville in their match at the nest, winning a thriller, 15.14-104 to 15.8-98.

It was a really important game for both clubs, the win launching the winner into the top five at the first interval of the season.

Ben Holmes was back for the Demons and was probably the difference between the sides in the end, booting five goals.

Aaron Findlay continued his purple patch, finishing with four majors and Rhett Sutton dominated in the ruck after a spell with injury.

Rye is starting to get its best side out on the park and will be close to full strength after the bye, including possibly Ryan Semmell, who is currently in the Foxtel Reality TV show, the Rookie.

Callan Dixon was electric for the Eagles, David Hirst booted four goals and Travis Bravo and Leigh Stewart were excellent over four quarters.

Rosebud did what it needed to do and that was to beat Tyabb comfortably.

The Yabbies still managed to score, however, finishing with nine goals.

Rosebud booted 27.

Keegan Downie played the match of his life with eight goals for the Buds while Tom Baker and Ben Dwyer each finished with five goals. Greg Bentley was outstanding once again.

Shane Waterstone and Ethan Rahilly were the best of the Yabbies, while Jake Anderson was also among the votes with two goals.

Five point heartbreak for Dolphins VFL

By Paul Kennedy THE Frankston Dolphins suffered a heart-breaking five-point defeat at the hands of North Ballarat on Sunday.

On a windy Ballarat day the Dolphins started full of run and pressure, on-ballers Leigh Kitchin and Shane Hockey in everything to give their team a 4.2 to 1.2 lead at the first break.

But the 30 minutes that followed ultimately cost the visitors the game, North Ballarat running unmolested

through the middle of the ground as they piled on five goals to none to move 12 points clear at the long break.

When the Roosters opened the third stanza with two quick goals it appeared a blowout was on the cards, but Frankston found another gear, matching North Ballarat’s intensity at the ball to keep the deficit to 19 points at three-quarter-time.

Inspirational ruckman Russ Gabriel then took over the game, continuing his aerial domination of North Melbourne’s Eric Wallace, Gabriel was a man possessed at ground level

too as he repeatedly sent the Dolphins forward.

Fellow big man Khan Haretuku also stepped up, booting three quick goals to breathe life into the visitors’ charge.

Around the ground it was all Frankston, Hockey and Ben Cavarra running like it was the first quarter, and when Shannon Taylor slotted a clever running goal at the 20-minute mark the Dolphins were in front.

A desperate final few minutes ensued with both teams trading goals, but it was the Roosters with their noses ahead when the siren sounded.
