Home for homeless

By Neil Walker A HOUSE for disadvantaged homeless youth is being built in Bonbeach and is due to be completed in late 2013.

The property is being built by the Lighthouse Foundation in Broadway

in partnership with builder Australand.

The foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that offers young, homeless people a home to provide a safe haven while they rebuild their lives.

Rumours circulated claiming the property would be a rooming house for

drug-addicted youths with Broadway residents worried about the possibility of increased crime.

The foundation has tried to calm residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns by explaining its work via a letter to Bonbeach residents and at a community meeting. Up to four young

people will be looked after at all times by two live-in carers.

The Bonbeach home will be Lighthouse Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th such property in Victoria. Foundation CEO Kane Bowden told The News that Bonbeach was identified as an ideal location

for its latest care home because the organisation â&#x20AC;&#x153;sets up homes in clusters for resourcing reasonsâ&#x20AC;?.

Other Lighthouse Foundation homes are in Cheltenham, Frankston, Clayton and Springvale.

Volunteers valued: Kingston mayor Cr Ron Brownlees presents Chelsea SES with a council award recognising the unit’s 60 years of helping people in need.

Sixty years of help VOLUNTEERS from the Chelsea unit of the State Emergency Service accepted a pat on the back from Kingston Council’s mayor Cr Ron Brownlees at a council meeting last month in recognition of the unit’s 60th year helping people in need.

On behalf of the City of Kingston, Cr Brownlees congratulated the unit, which has won several awards for innovation and service in recent years.

“The SES is a wonderful organisation made up of volunteers who give up their time and brave difficult

emergency conditions to help the community,” he said.

The Chelsea unit has about 45 volunteers who attend weekly training sessions and turn out all year round, responding to about 350 calls each year, plus assisting at larger calamities such as Black Saturday and the recent tornadoes that hit northern Victoria and southern NSW. While many people enjoyed a break over Easter, Chelsea SES volunteers were out in wild weather responding to emergency calls. Media liaison officer

Phil Wall said the unit had about 20 call-outs on Thursday as well as a few on Easter Sunday.

The unit’s area covers from Seaford to Mentone and east to Keysborough and Bangholme, taking in residential suburbs, a busy railway line, industrial areas, creeks and wetlands, parklands and 15 kilometres of coastline.

In an emergency, call the SES on 132 500 or, if the situation is life threatening, call 000. More information, up to date warnings and tips is at www. chelseases.com.au

Home plan comes to light Continued from Page 1 Mr Bowden said the home would be used to provide a safe environment for people as young as 16 with a background of homelessness or being at risk due to family circumstances. The youths are referred to the Lighthouse Foundation by the Victorian Department of Human Services and other agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A local referral gets precedent,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bowden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The residents stay about 18 months on average but can stay as long as they like. We work with them to help turn their lives around.â&#x20AC;?

Bonbeach resident Peter Crawford is unhappy a building planning permit stating the planned use of the property was not publicly displayed before construction began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did it behind everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backs,â&#x20AC;? Mr Crawford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are not very happy. They were trying to avoid objections and many locally are worried about the possibility of trouble.â&#x20AC;?

Kane Bowden said he understood neighbours of the home may fear â&#x20AC;&#x153;the new or unknownâ&#x20AC;? but claimed there was no attempt to hide the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a planning permit and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a song and dance about building new homes or brand the property in any way. Our homes blend in; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just another private residence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to have transparency with the local community but also protect kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; privacy to keep away people who

Pet registration KINGSTON Council is encouraging all cat and dog owners to register their pets. Lost pets can be returned if found wearing the council identification marker. Every cat and dog aged three months of age or over must be registered with council.

Owners must renew their petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registration by 10 April to avoid a fine. Pets being registered for the first time must also be microchipped and desexed before registration.

Call council on 1300 653 356 or visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au for more information.

may have been a bad influence on them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything at our homes is managed by carers 24/7 and there have been a negligible number of incidents at our homes elsewhere.â&#x20AC;?

Kingston Council confirmed a planning permit was not required if the building did not contain more than 10 habitable rooms, was located in a residential zone, and provided selfcontained accommodation.

Kingston mayor Cr Ron Brownlees said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The development does not reach the triggers that require a planning permit. Public advertising would occur if a planning permit was required.â&#x20AC;?

South Ward councillor Tamsin Bearsley arranged a meeting between concerned residents and Lighthouse Foundation representatives and also door-knocked in the area to speak to Broadway occupants.

Cr Bearsley said the meeting went well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was positive and it helped that neighbours of another Lighthouse development spoke to Bonbeach residents.â&#x20AC;?

She admitted â&#x20AC;&#x153;some people will need to see it [the home] in action before they are comfortable with it.â&#x20AC;?

Syria reflections THE Kingston Interfaith Committee will host an Interfaith Network breakfast from 8.30-10am on Saturday 20 April at Cafe Sana, 884 Nepean Highway, Hampton East.

The breakfast will feature Reverend Andrew Lake of St Augustineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Mentone speaking about his recent experiences working in Syria.

Bookings are essential and places are limited. Call Kingston Council community development coordinator Kate Daddo on 9581 4734 or email kate.daddo@kingston.vic.gov.au

Family support KINGSTON Family Support Services is preparing to hold its four-week ACBD Parenting Program.

The program will support parents of children aged 10-14 years to develop communication strategies and problem-solving skills. Access to referrals, case management and parenting groups is offered.

Call 1300 653 356 for more information. Deadline for program registration is 16 April.

Pokies reformer targets MPs

By Neil Walker THERE is a sign that indicates former lawyer Paul Bendat is a man who puts his money where his mouth is. The anti-pokies campaigner has paid for a massive Mordialloc roadside billboard urging Liberal state MPs Donna Bauer and Lorraine Wreford to support poker machine betting limits and tax reform.

City of Kingston residents will also soon receive a leaflet that claims a $1-per-spin bet limit, and a $120-perhour loss cap, could be introduced for pokies, which would not reduce state government revenue if larger venue operators including Woolworths paid a larger slice of tax.

Mr Bendat decided to actively campaign for restrictions on electronic gaming machines gambling in 2006 when he was alarmed to hear Woolworths CEO Michael Luscombe advise shareholders that the company’s gambling venues could become family entertainment centres.

Since that day, Mr Bendat has campaigned to restrict electronic gaming machines in Victoria. He started a www. pokieswatch.org website dedicated to monitoring the location of pokies and the way they are marketed at individual gaming venues.

He also provided advice to independent MPs Andrew Wilkie and Nick Xenophon in their protracted and ongoing battle to have mandatory precommitment gaming machine measures introduced.

“I realised that nothing was going to happen at a federal level,” Mr

Bendat said. He decided to target state governments.

A 2009 Commonwealth Productivity Commission report stated “if machines are played at high intensity, it is easy to lose $1500 or more in an hour” and noted “strong grounds to lower the bet limit to around $1 per ‘button push’, instead of the current $5 to $10”. The commission advised the policy could be implemented within six years, taking costs and technology upgrades into consideration.

Mr Bendat used this Productivity Commission report and research he commissioned from Monash University’s Dr Charles Livingstone as the basis for his campaign to have a $1-per-spin limit placed on pokies machines. He is funding the campaign with his own money, with newspaper advertising, including in The News, also a part of the strategy to pressure Ms Bauer and Ms Wreford to back the initiative.

Mr Bendat said his campaign was not being run against any particular political party. He decided to focus on marginal state government-held seats, with three Liberal area MPs – Carrum MP Donna Bauer, Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford and Bentleigh MP Elizabeth Miller – the target of his campaign. He also hoped to meet Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, now an independent, to discuss his concerns.

“I previously campaigned for pokies reforms (before the 2010 state election) in then state gaming minister and ALP MP Tony Robinson’s electorate

in Mitcham and he lost,” Mr Bendat said. “The campaign is totally issues oriented.”

He told The News that Donna Bauer and Lorraine Wreford “to their credit” met with him but Ms Taylor did not return his calls.

Ms Bauer’s Carrum majority at the 2010 state election was 4.08 per cent, while it would take a 4.14 per cent swing to unseat Ms Wreford in Mordialloc.

Ms Wreford told The News: “I am concerned about the potential for

problem gambling in Kingston and more broadly. I am always happy to listen to possible solutions.

“The state government has introduced a range of programs. We’re getting ATMs out of gaming rooms, we’ve introduced the pre-commitments on all machines by 2015-16, we have a range of programs to improve responsible operating of gaming machines, and have moved several bills to improve the system.”

Ms Bauer said she was “keen to

investigate ways to minimise the impacts of problem gambling”.

“Since being elected, the state government has introduced a range of programs targeting gambling, including the removal of ATMs from gaming rooms,” she said.

Mr Bendat: “The best thing that could happen is that the state government agrees to these reforms. I would love the sign to become a total embarrassment to me and personally paint over it using a tin of black paint.”

Talks stall, bargaining agreement withdrawn

By Jo Winterbottom ENTERPRISE bargaining negotiations between Kingston Council employees and CEO John Nevins have been reopened amid claims the document agreed on last November was not the same as the one lodged with the Fair Work Commission for ratification.

At least one union representing Kingston staff said Mr Nevins had misrepresented what was in the agreement and incorrectly stated to employees that there would be no cuts to employee pay and conditions.

The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers Australia said the council had proposed cuts to overtime rates, minimum payments for some staff and new restrictions on time off in lieu arrangements.

APESMA spokesman Matt Nurse said: “Following representations from APESMA, the Australian Services Union and the Australian Nursing Federation, the council has withdrawn this proposed agreement due to these insurmountable problems”.

“We believe the council did not meet many of the basic requirements of the Fair Work Act and its proposal would have left staff worse off than they are today.

“It is important that the council understands its legal obligations on

how to bargain in good faith.”

In a statement released by Kingston’s media department, Mr Nevins confirmed the council had “withdrawn its application to the Fair Work Commission for approval of its EBA” after receiving several objections from unions representing Kingston staff.

The statement, issued before the Easter break, said the objections related to “procedural issues”.

“It has also come to the attention of … Mr John Nevins that the document submitted to the Fair Work Commission was not the same as the document that was subject to a vote by staff,” it stated.

The document lodged with the commission for ratification being different to the document agreed on by staff was first brought to the attention of Mr Nevins at a council meeting more than a month ago.

On Monday 25 February, Australian Services Union organiser David Nunns asked Mr Nevins why the documents differed.

Mr Nevins replied: “It is my understanding that the document put out for staff to vote on, that 70 per cent of staff voted in favour of, was the same as that submitted to Fair Work Australia.”

When The News put questions to Mr Nevins later that week, a reply was

received from the acting general manager of organisational development and governance Anthony Basford stating: “The enterprise agreement made available to staff during the seven day voting access period is the same as the version filed at the Fair Work Commission on Thursday, 20 December 2012, aside from the addition of the year ‘2013’ on the front cover.”

Mr Nevins declined to answer if further discrepancies had been detected, instead releasing a statement saying: “It would be inappropriate to discuss this in further detail while council is following the process to reach a new agreement.”

Kingston mayor Cr Ron Brownlees also declined to comment.

The EBA covers all Kingston employees except volunteers, contractors and Mr Nevins, who is responsible for overseeing the enterprise bargaining process.

It is understood general managers are classified as contractors and are not covered by the three-year agreement.

Mr Nurse said APESMA was relieved enterprise bargaining negotiations had been reopened.

“We are pleased the council is now working constructively with its staff and its union representatives to resolve these problems”.

Surf line-up: Peter Wilkinson, left, Paul Trigger, Ted Bainbridge and Mick Pierce were among the Mornington Peninsula contingent at Bells Beach to celebrate with Surfing Victoria.

‘Pioneers’ take centre stage STAGE announcements and anecdotes about the 50 years of organised surfing in Victorian culminated in fine tradition with about 30 surfers enjoying an “expression session” in the waves of Bells Beach near Torquay.

Surfers from the Mornington Peninsula who had been involved in, first, the Victorian branch of the Australian Surfriders’ Association and then Surfing Victoria were at Bells to celebrate the organisation’s 50th anniversary.

Making the trip to the west coast were surf shop owner Ted Bainbridge, surfboard maker Mick Pierce, former ASA judge Peter Wilkinson, Ian Cochrane, Richard Porter, Gary Burns and surf shop owners Paul and Phil Trigger. Joining them and other

surfing “pioneers” in the water after presentations were Terry Wall, Adam Robertson, Rod Brooks, Tony Ray, Nikki Van Dijk and Greg Brown.

The celebration coincided with the Wingman Pre-trials, part of the selection process that saw a Victorian surfer gain entry into the main event of the Easter Rip Curl Pro. “We have been running Pioneers Day for the past few years and the reception has been incredible,” Surfing Victoria CEO Max Wells said.

“Many of our pioneers and former members don’t get the chance to catch up during the year, so this is a great opportunity for them to meet and also watch some of the best Victorian surfers battle it out for a spot in the Rip Curl Pro main draw.”

SHOES CAUSING

AROUND THE REGION

FRIENDLY FOOTWEAR CAN HELP YOU

By Mike Hast HUGO Weaving might not have visited the peninsula but a painting of the actor two metres tall and almost as wide will be the centrepiece of the travelling exhibition of finalists in the Archibald Prize at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery from 8 June to 7 July.

The Archibald Prize was announced at the Art Gallery of NSW on Friday 22 March and Del Kathryn Bartonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watercolour, gouache and acrylic on canvas of Weaving took out the $75,000 first prize.

Barton won in 2008 with a self-portrait that also featured her two children. Her win last week was only the ninth by a woman in the 92-year history of the prize.

There were 868 entries in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archibald, 29 more than last year, and 41 paintings by finalists will come to the gallery in Mornington.

Bartonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugo took five months to complete. She used thousands of dots to create a portrait of Weaving in a white shirt holding a wild cat with leaves of a weeping lilly-pilly and root systems spiralling around him.

The artist reportedly said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than anything I hoped to portray a sincere, deep, generous and creative soul.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Other shortlisted paintings coming to the peninsula include runner-up Fiona Lowryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work of video artist Shaun Gladwell; Wendy Sharpeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anything goes, an arresting painting of burlesque performer Venus Vamp; Julie Dowlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painting of Wilfred Hicks; and David Griggsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image of Australian artist TV Moore.

News of the travelling Archibald Prize paintings coming to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery was revealed exclusively in The News last August.

The 2012 exhibition was at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Healesville and brought an estimated $4 million and 50,000 people to the town in the Yarra Valley.

The show will attract art lovers from around the state and Melbourne, and bring millions of dollars to the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.

The gallery will be the only Victorian venue to host the Archibald exhibition.

It was established in 1969 by the Shire of Mornington as Mornington Peninsula Arts Centre. Its first home was a house in Vancouver St, Mornington, later demolished and now a car park behind the library and shire office.

It moved to the council-owned, Victorian-era house Oak Hill on MorningtonTyabb Rd in 1971. The gallery in Civic Reserve was built in 1991 and opened by then premier John Cain. Oak Hill is now a community art gallery.

One of the driving forces behind the gallery in 1969 was artist, art critic and author Alan McCulloch of Shoreham, who was its director 1979-1992.

As has occurred at TarraWarra, the exhibition in Mornington will present major logistical challenges.

Mornington Peninsula Shire and the gallery will likely use shuttle buses from distant parking areas to cope with the thousands of visitors, and marquees will be erected in the grounds to service patrons.

FEATURE PROPERTY

Hollywood style REMINISCENT of grand Hollywood mansions, this incredible property is privately set on 7213 square metres. Designed by Phillip Mannerheim, opulent does not begin to describe this property. The sprawling residence measures more than 1300 square metres (140 squares) and has as its centrepiece a magnificent, solar-heated, in-ground pool and surrounding entertaining area. The Ferrari symbol is emblazoned on the double glass doors at the formal entry. Synonymous with the finest in life, the symbol provides the first hint of the quality on offer. Glistening Italian floor tiles flow throughout the entry and into a formal lounge area with open fireplace that is dominated by two enormous floor-to-ceiling windows that accentuate the space and light to amazing effect.

There is a second bank of windows that look into the Formula 1 quality garage complex with parking for 10 vehicles. A splendid kitchen has an island bench and cupboards of a striking sky blue, with the adjoining dining and family area looking out to a water feature and the pool area. The home has five bedrooms, including the master bedroom with a palatial ensuite including a spa bath. Bidding is expected to start at $1.5 million.

LOVE THIS HOME

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Lifestyle and land LARGE blocks measuring 1639 square metres and perfectly located near the beach, shops and schools are rarely found and always sought after, and when you add a large, character-filled four-bedroom home, the interest level certainly rises. This handsome double storey home has a touch of Tuscany with rendered walls and a terracotta tiled roof.

There is an array of feature brick work and slate tiles throughout the interior and timber cathedral ceilings highlight the space. The spacious kitchen has stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher and wall-oven, and from the adjoining dining area you walk through a feature archway into an elegant lounge room with bar. There are four bedrooms, including the main bedroom that has an ensuite and walk-in robe. Three more bedrooms share a second bathroom. There is an large concrete area beside the home for visitor parking andtowards the back of the property is a large garage and workshop with threephase power and additional space for a caravan or a boat.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance THE Production Company launched its 15th season last week at a lunch at the historic mansion Raheen hosted by Jeanne Pratt and artistic director Ken Mackenzie-Forbes.

Three shows scheduled this year include Singin’ in the Rain, Gypsy and The Pirates of Penzance.

Gypsy, considered by many to be the ultimate Broadway musical, is a shrewd, deeply felt spectacle of life and showbusiness.

The original stage show, with its Arthur Laurent’s book (adapted from Gypsy Rose Lee’s memoirs) and Jule Styne-Stephen sound score, is sure to bring Melbourne audiences to their feet with favourites Everything’s Coming up Roses, You Gotta Have a Gimmick, Let Me Entertain You, Some People and Rose’s Turn.

Caroline O’Connor (pictured), star of Chicago, returns from Broadway to play the role of Rose. It is directed by award-winning Gale Edwards with Andrew Hallsworth as choreographer and Guy Simpson as musical director.

Gypsy opened at the Broadway Theatre in 1959.

Singin’ in the Rain is the story of matinee idol Don Lockwood (Rohan Browne) and his romance with chorus girl Kathy Selden (Alinta Chidzey). It has one of the best-written storylines to grace a Hollywood musical and was penned by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.

Matt Lee will play Cosmo Brown and Christie Whelan-Browne will play Lockwood’s leading lady, Lina Lamont. Gary Young will direct, Kelley Abbey is choreographer and John Foreman the musical director.

Pirates of Penzance rocked Hamer Hall 30 years ago and returns this year with Gareth Keegan (Frederic), Adam Murphy (Pirate King), Brent Hill (Police Sergeant), Virginia Gay (Ruth) and Wayne Scott Kermond (MajorGeneral Stanley).

The creative team includes Dean Bryant (director), Andrew Hallsworth (choreographer) and Matthew Frank (musical director).

By Gary Turner *** OPERA Australia launches its autumn season at the State Theatre, Arts Centre, on Friday 12 April 12.

Beneath the tales of deception and disguise that underpin this season’s three operas, audiences will discover passionate stories of love and devotion.

Celebrate Verdi’s 200th anniversary with a new production of A Masked Ball by La Fura dels Baus as well as Graeme Murphy’s visually spectacular Aida featuring two new international stars.

The season finishes in Surrealist style with the Olivier and Helpmann Award-winning Christopher Alden’s production of Handel’s Partenope.

Bookings 9685 3700. www.opera-australia.org.au

Songs include Poor Wandering One, When the Foreman Bares his Steel, With Cat-Like Tread, Away Away! and My Heart’s on Fire.

At the season launch, Jeanne Pratt said it was hard to believe 15 years had elapsed since she started the company.

“My dream in 1999 was twofold: to provide professional opportunities for local artists and to entertain Melbourne audiences with the best shows from Broadway and beyond. Our success

has been beyond my wildest dreams,” she said.

Ms Pratt is also passionate about young people and their opportunity to see theatre.

“Our gift in 2013 is a 50 per cent discount on full price individual tickets for anyone aged under 18. No ifs, no buts, no catches. We simply want everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy our musicals. This means young people pay as little as $23 a ticket.”

Gypsy is at the State Theatre 10-14 July with a matinee on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14. Singin’ in the Rain will run 21 to 25 August in the State Theatre with a matinee on Saturday 24 August and Sunday 25 August. The Pirates of Penzance will run 30 October to 3 November at Hamer Hall with matinee performances on 2 November and 3 November. www.theproductioncompany.com.au www.cavpr.com.au

and again rubbish the unions suggesting all sorts of evil deeds. Faceless men ruling the roost. True up to a point but no different than big business doing likewise and much more likely to control us, leaving many to resent what they want us to resent.

Then there’s the one telling of the government getting us heavily into debt, per person. As if the Opposition will look after “our money” any better.

Political rubbish, but from the many letters it appears people are concerned, stressed even, over nothing, never seemingly realising that both mobs chase the lure; power and money. A story spoon-fed in formulaic form forever; black holes, surpluses, you name it. We will get by under either government; we always do, but try not to be sucked in with the bulldust. There’s no such thing as “the good guys”. *** SIMON Crean returned briefly from the dark with a promising cultural policy called Creative Australia replacing Paul Keating’s Creative Nation with some $75 million to the performing arts, causing the Australia Council to wet their administrative power lips.

Still, some of it could trickle down to the artists so it’s a great idea and hopefully passed in the May budget, if we get that far. Mind you, Tony and little Joey will have something to say after September. *** SPORT mishmash: “At certain stages

we gave the early lead away but credit to the boys they got it back, then we almost allowed them back in at the finish but they held on well. I’m proud of them.” AFL coach.

Where does one start with the Australian Football League? The idea of an equalisation fund seems fair in the long-term interests of the competition but fairness is not a part of the AFL’s history.

Caroline Wilson suggests sacking Dane Swan. Gerard Whateley on cricketer Shane Watson. Dawn Fraser at our relay swimmers, like she was an angel.

Political correctness gone wild.

They talk incessantly about drugs, but say nothing. Academy of Control Freaks. A degree of imperfection is normal. *** THE Rosebud Short Film Festival had its fair share of young ones having a go.

I find it nice that the boys and girls are clocking in on their various imaginations.

On the other hand I can’t help wondering if this honing in on the essential early child development of literacy and numeracy skills a la Julia constitutes the total picture.

Surely there’s room at an earlier age for their skills to be combined with freedom of self-expression, be it all or at least some form of the arts?

We miss prime ministers Keating

and Gorton; also premiers John Cain and Rupert Hamer. *** THE hardest of all gratifications to abandon is the one that comes from other people’s approval. From Michel Montaigne; about the man who toiled so hard at an art that few could ever know about. “For me a few are enough; one is enough; having none is enough.”

You and one companion are audience enough for each other; so are you for yourself. Don’t be concerned what the world says of you but with what you say to yourself.

Waldo Emerson: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment”.

I’ve made my decision: I’m voting for the Sex Party. *** HANNIE Rayson’s Hotel Sorrento is being performed by Studio Sorrento Players on 23 to 27 April at the Sorrento Seniors Hall, corner Melbourne and Queens roads, Sorrento.

There’s a massive rush for tickets so, as mum constantly told me, “get off your backside” and make your booking.

I’ll be appearing in it briefly, unless dementia knocks before opening night. It’s directed by lovely Denise Potter and stars four beautiful females.

A Grain of Salt I’VE had another birthday, a cause for celebration but clearly no more.

Time moves fast at my age where happiness amounts to not feeling ill.

Warding off the inevitable. Family squabbles, dramas, illnesses come and go; moments of depression replaced by optimism. Something to look forward to; hope.

Forget the crooks, too many and they win anyway. From school to the public service. Twenty years of discussing superannuation units, worth money in another 30 years. Resign, get work where I combine lifestyle with earning money; marriage, sex, little monsters. Does hope spring eternal? The silver lining has turned grey; too many funerals. Ah, but Easter has passed. No holiday hordes till Melbourne Cup day. Peace and a ray of silver. Smile, I’m on candid camera, everywhere. Thanks to the Rye RSL dedicated smoking area “rabble” for birthday wishes, ditto presidento and treasurer, in spite of not wanting to be reminded. *** I’M a pretty ordinary type, no special skills; dreadful with light bulbs, good at some things, a master of none. I write what I perceive, maybe spot-on maybe not.

What consistently fascinates is the general brainwashing by sections of the media. Not so much Andrew Bolt, who I file under the heading “ratbags to the backline”, but others who time

Myer boss Bernie Brookes and Harvey Norman’s Gerry Harvey want the federal election now, ditto Ron Walker and Ita Buttrose; surprise?

What happened to honest Geoff Shaw’s $2 million pre-election promise to desilt Kananook Creek; washed away?

The Rise and Fall of the Billy Cart Kid

By Stuart McCullough WE used to make our own fun. This was back in a time when â&#x20AC;&#x153;funâ&#x20AC;? could be built pretty much from nothing and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be downloaded, inserted into a gaming console or placed on lay-by.

In an effort to fill the weekend hours, we embarked on all manner of enterprises. Some were abandoned (attempting to build a rocket big enough to hold one of my siblings), some we ought to have abandoned (the rope swing from which I fell and broke my leg) and some came to glorious fruition.

These included the BMX track â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was basically a dirt track with a lump of earth at the end we called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;jumpâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a cloned Hereford calf we called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sequelâ&#x20AC;?. We also made our own billy cart.

Despite my enthusiasm, I was inept.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been much good with my hands; unable even to build suspense, I stood no chance of building anything resembling a billy cart.

At scouts, in art classes or at pottery lessons, everything I touched ended up an ashtray. Had either of my parents smoked, this might have been useful.

Had they known anyone who smoked, we would have had a steady supply of presents. Instead, they ended up mostly as decorations that, after a time, would simply go missing.

This deficiency was made all the more clear to me because I had a younger brother who was very good at building anything he turned his mind to. He could build an internal combustion engine out of toothpicks.

To spite me, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take pipe cleaners,

old toilet rolls and a tub of glue and build a fully functioning robot.

Most of the time I ignored him but when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bring out the Lego and use it to re-create 16th century Venice, complete with canals, it was impossible. Anxious to compete, I produced my own Lego to make something that looked a lot like an ashtray.

Why I thought I could build a billy cart Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know. More mysterious still is why I thought it would be a good idea. We had a gravel driveway leading to a road, also made of gravel.

It was a world of dirt and stone. By its very nature, it made certain activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rollerskating, skateboarding and, indeed, billycarting â&#x20AC;&#x201C;inherently difficult. We were not to be deterred.

Luckily for me, my brother agreed to help me build the billy cart. The body was made of wood and bore an uncanny resemblance to a miniature coffin. The wheels were transplanted from an old pram and steering was a length of a twine that had once held a hay bale together.

We took turns pushing each other down the driveway, doing our best to avoid the potholes. The lack of suspension meant that every bump bit into your buttocks. There was also risk of splinters. As for brakes, they were notable only for their absence. But despite its obvious flaws, I thought our billy cart was a thing of beauty.

Everyone knows a kid like Neville Newman when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing up.

He was in my class at primary school and his family always seemed to be doing something impossibly cool like riding jetskis or racing motorbikes.

As I excitedly revealed the existence of the billy cart, Neville shrugged his shoulders and told me that he, too, had built a billy cart. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, his was faster than mine.

There is a time for talking and a time for action. We agreed that determining which of us, indeed, had the fastest billy cart was a matter best resolved by way of a race.

Nev suggested we meet at Vista Court on Saturday. On arriving that weekend, I knew instantly that I was out of my depth. For starters, Vista Court was not made of gravel but of

bitumen. The street name was a reference to the fact that you could see over the entire Western Port region. The whole thing was downhill. Suddenly, I realised that Nevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection of Vista Court was no accident.

Then he revealed his billy cart. It was made of fibreglass. Being the Seventies, this may well have been the first time that fibreglass was ever used in Australia. The wheels were large and sturdy and unlikely to have ever been attached to a pram. For a moment I deluded myself; that what I lacked in terms of equipment I could more than make up through sheer heart and determination. As I have grown older I have realised that people who are about to receive the beating of their lives often think such thoughts.

Had you been watching from a distance, it would not even have looked like a race. Neville streamed down Vista Court, shoulders curled over the steering wheel and moving with a speed of a startled rabbit. I could only watch as the speck that was Nev grew smaller and smaller as his lead grew ever more substantial. By the time I reached the end of Vista Court, Neville had not only finished the race but also completed primary school. It was my first absolute shellacking.

I tried to be gracious, but the bitter taste of defeat, as well as a few random insects, was hard to dislodge. I immediately announced my retirement and the billy cart was never again pressed into service. It sat in the shed along with all the things I had tried but surrendered. Maybe someone could use it as an ashtray. www.stuartmccullough.com

Buds in bloom, Sharks maul Tigers NEPEAN

By Toe Punt NEW Rosebud coach Nick Jewell had “a very enjoyable” Easter following his team’s big win over arch-rival Rye on Good Friday.

In the Nepean League opener, the Buds booted six unanswered goals in the final term to record an emphatic 15.15-105 to 8.8-56 win.

At three-quarter time, the margin was just 12 points, but with the run from half-back of Greg Bentley and Nick Boswell, and the injection of Daniel Giarusso into the midfield, the Buds were able to turn on the afterburners in the final 25 minutes to steamroll the opposition.

Jewell told The News that a lot of fitness and ball work in the off-season came to the fore in the final term.

“It was a long and hard pre-season and the boys worked really hard in the break to prepare for the season,” Jewell said.

“I guess the way we played in the last quarter was testament to that workload.”

Buds spearhead Ben Schultz booted eight goals in the victory, his first big

bag for some time including last season.

“Ben had knee surgery in the offseason and worked really hard to get himself right. When you can get the ball into his area often enough, he’s going to make the most of the opportunities. We all know he’s a lovely kick at goal,” Jewell said.

It was the players through the middle of the ground who most impressed Jewell.

“Matty Payne; what a player he is.

He’s so fit and has such a sensational work rate. He really lifts his brother Brenton, too, who I believe will take his game to yet another level.

“Our midfield depth is something that is going to be a key for us this season. Brad McDonald is only at about 80 per cent (he had groin surgery in the off-season) but he was good, while Daniel Giarusso played in the forward half until the last quarter and gave us plenty then.”

Jewell said while it was great to win against the arch-enemy, the focus quickly needed to shift to its next opponent, Devon Meadows.

“From all reports Devon has recruited extremely well, so it’s not going to

Footy’s here: Dromana set out to exact some revenge for last year’s grand final loss against Sorrento on Easter Saturday but it was not to be with the Tigers giving up a 38-point three-quarter time lead to lose to Sorrento Sharks by 13 points. The News’s photographer Andrew Hurst was at Sorrento to capture all the action.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 3 April 2013

be an easy game in a fortnight. Then we play Frankston Bombers, so there are no easy contests.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start though, which was pleasing.”

Rye coach Ben Holmes was the standout player for his team with five goals.

Karingal recruit Matty Sibberas tried hard while Sean Kain and Adam Kirkwood also flew the flag.

On Easter Saturday, Dromana gave up a 38-point three-quarter time lead to lose to Sorrento by 13 points.

The reigning premiers booted eight goals to a single point in the final 30 minutes of the match to completely outclass the Tigers.

The last time the two sides played was the 2012 grand final.

On that ocassion, Dromana had every opportunity to put Sorrento away, but failed to drive in the final nail.

Sorrento’s self-belief can never be questioned and while the door is ajar, they’ll keep coming.

It happened again on Saturday.

The Tigers led by three goals at quarter time and by almost eight goals at the major break.

For the Sorrento faithful who had

turned up to the game in droves, it appeared the “chardy” was going to come out a little earlier.

Things didn’t look a great deal better on the scoreboard at three-quarter time either, although the Sorrento coaching staff believed the team was back in the game.

“At half-time things weren’t looking great for us,” Sorrento coach Nick Claringbold said.

“In the third quarter I thought we wrested some of the momentum off Dromana and played the better football for the quarter. Really, we should have been a couple of goals closer at the final break.

“I told the players at three-quarter time to take risks, move the ball quickly and basically to have a red hot crack.

“I thought that if we could kick the first couple of goals in the last quarter, we were back in the contest on the scoreboard.

“As it turned out, we kicked the first goal in 20 seconds and booted three in four minutes.

“Our clearance work really picked up in the last quarter, we changed a few things and the result was a good, fighting win.”

Dion Phillips, a fit Cayden Beetham and Ben Schwarze (four goals) in attack were all keys to the victory.

Leigh Poholke, who only finished cricket last weekend, booted three goals, while recruits James Hallahan and Ryan Jeffrey each booted two goals. Jeffrey had a stint in the ruck to give Scott Cameron a spell.

Chris Bagot was sharp in defence and Matt Debrowlski, who will get more opportunities this season, repaid the faith of his coach with a solid performance.

The Tigers stopped to a walk. There were plenty of new faces too. Christian Ongarello was a stand-out, while Daniel Waddell, who made a name as a defender at Frankston YCW, played in attack and finished with five goals.

Michael Falconer from Noble Park also played a significant role.

After all the hype of the pre-season, Dromana was expected to win.

Some Sorrento players were underdone. However, mentally, they are the toughest in the competition and once again it proved to be the difference when the heat was turned up.

Eight for Langwarrin, Seaford hits Skye for six

By Craig MacKenzie LOCAL soccer kicks off on Saturday 6 April with all six clubs in the Frankston area undergoing major changes in playing personnel during the off-season.

Langwarrin went down in a penalty shootout against Casey Comets last weekend in the final of the Steve Wallace Memorial Cup but has high hopes of starting the State 2 South-East season in style at home against Diamond Valley.

The eight off-season newcomers to the Langy senior squad are: goalkeeper Orwin Castel (capped 16 times for Mauritius), fellow keeper Sean Skelly, defender Alex van Heerwarden, utility Ben Caffrey, Irish midfielder Mark O’Connor, Kiwi sweeper Paul Stewart, midfielder Berkan Sakaci and striker Koray Suat.

Midfielder/defender Neil O’Sullivan and midfielder Daniel Fotopoulos were released last week.

The State 3 South-East season opener for Frankston Pines is a difficult away assignment against Old Scotch.

Utility player Sam Jennens has joined Pines from Croydon, midfielder Ross Robertson has switched from Strikers along with utility Chris Aldonato while Peter Dimcevski is back after a year-long break.

“There’s a lad called Yusuf Zara who has come back after breaking his leg with Dandy Thunder’s under-21s and he

He scores: Casey Comets hitman Matt Morris-Thomas scored the decisive penalty in the final of the Steve Wallace Memorial Cup at Lawton Park last weekend. Picture: Paul Seeley.

could be a real surprise packet,” said senior coach Danny Verdun, who remains in the hunt for a strike partner for ace predator Chris Hodgson.

Pines won promotion last sea-

son from the recently disbanded Provisional Leagues and is now in the same league as traditional rival Peninsula Strikers.

Jamie Skelly’s controversial axing as Strikers head coach at

the end of last season led to a player walkout and just three of last year’s first team squad are still at the club.

That trio is left-sided midfielder Shane Sinclair, attacking midfielder Alex Akrivopoulos and goalkeeper Steve Eleftheriou.

The man in the coaching hot seat is Davie Reid who oversees one of the youngest squads in the league.

Reid has signed former Kingston City midfielder Onur Tufan, defender Jack Pilgram, former Langy sweeper Lewis Potter and striker Blake Hicks from Baxter.

Former captain, midfielder Alex Calder, is recovering from injury but Reid is hopeful former Strikers midfielder Gerald Lawler, who was named AllNew England Collegiate Conference rookie of the year last November with his US college team, will be back in time to face Casey Comets in the season opener at Comets Stadium.

Seaford United has added an edge to its derby battles with Skye United by signing six players from its State 4 South rival during the off-season.

Former Skye player-coach Darren Roberts and his son Alex led the exodus and were joined by defender Jason Alizzi, defender or midfielder Alan Busuttil, goalkeeper Paul DiGiorgio and striker Adrian Busso.

Seaford coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor also laid out

the welcome mat for forwards Alistair Wallace and Jack Wrobel from Peninsula Strikers, Jamie Baxter (ex-Dandenong Thunder), defender Harry Chapman from Mornington and English imports Luke Noble, a defender, and Andy Packer, a left-sided midfielder.

Taylor hopes to complete the signing of attacking midfielder Li Nam Wong from Hampton Park United this week.

“This is the biggest senior squad we’ve had down here for a long time but contrary to all the rumours we are not paying one single cent to any of our players,” said Taylor.

Seaford’s season starts with a home game against South Yarra.

Skye United opens its campaign at home against Old Brighton Grammarians and head coach John Bruce is delighted to have signed experienced central defender Stuart Scott, who has played in England’s Football Conference Leagues, and Daniel Tagliaferro, a holding midfielder or central defender from Hampton Park United.

Bruce also has nabbed goalkeeper Lee Herron from Berwick City and has promoted teenage full-backs Marcus Collier and Dale Atkins who were part of the club’s all-conquering under-16 side last season.

Frank Dimu has been appointed captain after a stellar 2012 season when he was the

club’s top scorer and best and fairest winner.

“We’ve got a couple more players in mind but we’ll keep them under our hat for now because we don’t want a rival club pinching them,” said Bruce pointedly.

State League 5 South outfit Baxter kicks off with an away clash against Noble Park.

Central midfielder and former Glen Waverley captain Martin Sutherland, central defender Jim Moore, an English import, midfielder Michael Naughton and ex-Seaford custodian Brad Klarenbeek have been the major off-season signings.

“I think we’ll be competitive but we’re a wee bit thin in terms of depth,” said senior coach Jim Hardie.

“Our most important re-signing has been club captain John Camburn who is my assistant coach and who has got back some of the players from last year who were thinking of leaving.”

Fixtures for the opening round of the 2013 league season: Saturday 6 April, 3pm: Langwarrin v Diamond Valley (Lawton Park), Casey Comets v Peninsula Strikers (Comets Park), Old Scotch v Frankston Pines (H. A. Smith Reserve), Seaford Utd v South Yarra (North Seaford Reserve), Skye Utd v Old Brighton Grammarians (Skye Recreational Reserve), Noble Park v Baxter (Luth Reserve).

Coach Goosey says no limitations

By Finn the Dolphin ON their pre-season camp, Frankston Dolphins Football Club players climbed Mt Stirling and Mt Buller in one day, but coach Simon Goosey won’t speculate about the onfield heights they can reach in 2013.

“We’re not going to be put a ceiling on how high we can go. You aim high and don’t put limitations on the players,” he said.

After finishing last in 2012 despite many close games, Goosey and his coaching team have focused on the little things to bridge the gap to the top teams.

One particular focus has been cut-

ting down on the cheap turnovers that exposed the Dolphins’ attacking game plan.

“We’ve been doing a lot of game sense training and putting them in those situations, and the kicking has really improved over the pre-season,” Goosey said.

Another has been challenging the fitness levels of the core group of 21 to 25-year-olds to ensure there are no crucial lapses late in quarters.

“We spoke about keeping the boys on for that little bit longer; the ones who were capable we really wanted to push the boundary with how far they could run.”

But the real buzz at Frankston Park

has been generated by the bevy of new recruits to support the emerging core headed by Mitch Bosward, Luke Potts, Shane Hockey, Leigh Kitchin and Luke Clark.

Goosey said the coaching group identified some key areas where support was needed.

“One was the ruck where we had no presence, hence the reason we have signed big Russ [Gabriel],” he said of the trumpeted return of Frankston’s 2011 VFL team of the year big man.

Not surprisingly, the coach also chased recruits who would bring more attacking flair.

“I have a soft spot for forwards and think Sam Lloyd and Michael Lourey

from Mt Eliza are exciting players.

They take a nice pack mark and they’ll kick some goals.”

As for which new player will excite the Dolphins’ loud and proud fans the most, “Goose” thinks it could be a Seaford legend who has finally decided to pull on the red, white and black.

“Chris Irving in the middle. As a supporter they’ll love seeing what he’s capable of with his tackling,” he said.

“He brings a big body and can really splits the packs. He demands a lot off his teammates too, which I’ve been impressed with; he brings a fair bit of leadership.”
