Cirque Du Cabaret is in townADVERTISEMENT

The Village Green has been famous for touring bands, tributes and stage shows.

Aft er careful consideration when looking at this years shows, we have decided to go out on a limb and create a new concept and push the limits on what can be done.

Th e result is “Cirque Du Cabaret”. With help from a small number of entertainment specialists and a lengthy wish list, a show has been born of mass proportions. A large amount of hours have gone into planning and presentation, promotion and execution. Th e Village Green Caberet room is being transformed into something that has never been seen before, a Circus Big Top.

And with help from world renowned Illusionist, Ben Murphy, our patrons will be treated to a night of circus fun and entertainment.

Circus clowns, roving performers, fairy fl oss and popcorn machines, balloon art, sleight of hand artists and magicians, our patrons are being invited to let their hair down and enjoy the carnival!

We are inviting everyone to roll up, roll up and enjoy this fun fi lled night and to be enthralled by world class entertainment not seen in “pubs” before! Th is show will be breath taking and be talked about long aft er the lights go down.

Vote countback called for Mt WaverleyTHE vacancy caused by the death of MountWaverley councillor Tom Morrissey will befilled with a countback of votes from the 2012council elections.

Locals will not have to vote again. Instead,the Victorian Electoral Commission will nextmonth assess the ballot papers that electedCr Morrissey and use them to determine hisreplacement on Monash Council. This meansthe candidate who had the next highest

amount of votes — Catherine Dennis — won’tautomatically be named the new councillor.

‘‘Those candidates who were unsuccessful atthe general election and are still eligible to beelected will be included in the countback,’’Monash’s returning officer Jeff Gazzard said.

The main players in the countback areexpected to be Ms Dennis, Rebecca Patersonand Mitchell Harvey.

Ms Dennis is an environment student and

foster carer who has lived in Monash for about20 years. In her response to a Weekly electionsurvey, Ms Dennis declared no political allegi-ance. Ms Paterson, of Burwood, is a stay-at-home mum. Her husband, a plumber, workedfor Cr Morrissey.

Mr Harvey is a 20-year-old law student andmember of the Liberal Party. — Daniel Tran

Boom gate’s a rail painBY DANIEL TRAN

Frequent disruptions: Philip O’Gorman with student Felicia and deputy principal Nigel Rodrigues at the

crossing, which disrupts school life. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

STUDENTS and staff at St Peter’s PrimarySchool in Clayton are being held to ransom bythe suburb’s much-maligned level crossing,says its principal.

Principal Philip O’Gorman said the schoolcommunity has learned that it is at the whim ofthe trains running along the Dandenong railcorridor on any given day.

‘‘If something goes wrong on the line, thenanybody living on the other side of the railwayline can’t get to school,’’ Mr O’Gorman said.‘‘Children, staff, everybody — they’re literallystuck.’’

In the past year, the school has been disrup-ted at least six times and staff and studentswere delayed by the crossing for up to an hour.

‘‘It has a major effect on the running of ourschool,’’ Mr O’Gorman said.

Such effects are felt most keenly at the end ofthe day when parents, who return to pick uptheir children, are caught behind the boomgates or gridlocked on Clayton Road.

According to a 2008 study by logistics con-sultant William Guzman, the Clayton levelcrossing handles 25,000 vehicles a day —20,000 of which use the crossing between 7amand 7pm.

‘‘We don’t know how many people choosenot to come here because of the railway line.

That’s the unknown factor,’’ Mr O’Gormansaid.

Last week, Mr O’Gorman and traders fromthe Clayton Road precinct met with LiberalChisholm candidate John Nguyen and shadowproductivity minister Scott Morrison to dis-

cuss the issue. Mr Morrison told the Weekly

that there was a strong case to be made on thelevel crossing.

‘‘If a decision’s made on its merits then Iwould be a lot more enthusiastic and I think itcan be under a Coalition government,’’ he said.

Tom was extremely passionateabout the environment, the arts, economic develop-ment and small business, among many other issues.He always had the community’s interest at heart.

The people of Mount Waverley Ward are sin-cerely grateful for Tom’s services. His actions wereinspiring! Thank you for all the wisdom and experi-ence you have passed onto me.

All hands on the wheelThe Brandon Park Pre-School community thanksall residents and action groups in Monash for theircontinued support in trying to convince MonashCouncil and the state government to provide a carpark for the preschool and the maternal child

health centre on the vacant land opposite thesefacilities. After nearly 10 years of lobbying, I urgeboth levels of government to put the needs of theircommunity first. The cost to develop a car park willalways be cheaper than a child’s life.

Re: Kerser a pit bull, says VCATAbout time! As a survivor of a pitbull attack thatleft me severely injured and permanently maimed, Iwas devastated to find out the whole incident couldhave been prevented if the council was enforcingbreed-specific legislation we already have.

Pitbull apologists like to use well-worn propa-ganda, like ‘it’s how you raise them’ and ‘all dogscan be vicious’, completely discounting the longhistory of pitbulls being bred to take down bullsand fight to the death in pits. These aren’t normal

dogs — a normal dog will avoid a confrontation atall costs. This isn’t a dog issue — this is a breedissue.

Max Gold (via web)

The American Staffordshire is a pitbull. The twoare not only genetically identical, they are alsorecognised as one and the same by the Americankennel clubs.

You can register your pitbull-type pups as anAmStaff with the AKC and get an AmStaff pedi-gree. You can simultaneously register the same lit-ter with the UKC as American pit bull terriers andget APBT pedigrees for them. The kennel clubs andbreed shows are an international scene. If someonefrom Australia contacts you for a stud dog, or tobuy one of your champion pups, you use theAmStaff pedigree. If someone from Alabama con-tacts you, you put the same dog to stud or sell thepups as pitbulls. So this is why Kerser’s case is uttersilliness, a stupidity that can only happen whenofficials don’t understand how the kennel clubswork. It’s also why, in Australia, it won’t work toban only one type of pitbull but not the others.

Napthine last weekvisited students likeEd (pictured) atPinewood PrimarySchool.

Picture: Wayne Hawkins

PINEWOOD Primary School will be one of the‘‘best’’ schools in the state after a cash injection of$4.5 million, says Premier Denis Napthine.

Dr Napthine last week visited Pinewood toannounce the funding boost that he says willrevitalise the school.

‘‘You’ve got to have the best facilities to makethis school the best it can be,’’ Dr Napthine said.‘‘What this will mean is [they’ll] be able toprovide new classroom facilities . . . that suit21st-century teaching.

‘‘The teachers will get the facilities they need,the students will get the education they need andthis will be one of the schools around the state wecan look at and say, ‘This is up with the best’.’’

Pinewood Primary School has 366 students,about 40 per cent of whom are from non-English-speaking backgrounds. The school hasabout 30 teaching staff.

Pinewood’s NAPLAN results show most of itsgrade 3 students are substantially above thestate’s average in reading, persuasive writing,

spelling, numeracy, and grammar and punctu-ation.

The school will use the extra $4.5 million tobuild two new buildings with a total of 10 class-rooms, an art room, library, administrationoffice and netball court.

Principal Maurice Baker said that for the pastyear the staff had devoted more than 50 hours ofwork helping to plan the rebuilding.

‘‘We’ve been trying to design a school that isreceptive to good teaching and good learning,’’Mr Baker said.

He said the renovations are expected to befinished by the end of 2014.

‘‘Hopefully it will enable us to deliver 21st-century learning at a better rate.’’

The ivories clubThe renowned Team of Pianists — featuring Darryl Coote, Robert Chamberlain, Rohan Murray and

Professor Max Cooke — will perform at the Glenfern Historic House on 417 Inkerman Street, St Kilda

East. The concert is part of their Chamber Music in Historic Venues. The group will also play with

CCTV Community ConsultationThe Victorian Government is interested inyour views and perceptions of closed-circuitTV (CCTV) in the Kingston City Council area.

The Victorian Government provides fundingfor local councils to help support the installation of public safety CCTV systems to help make communities safer, including the costs of buying and installing CCTV infrastructure such as CCTV cameras and equipment to transmit, monitor and store camera footage.

Available evidence suggests that CCTV can be an eff ective crime prevention tool at a local level, especially when used in combinationwith other local crime prevention strategies.

Family man who shone a light

BY DANIEL TRAN

IF Mount Waverley were a monarchy, TomMorrissey would have been its king.

The long-serving councillor was, untilrecently, Mount Waverley’s tallest pillar. MrMorrissey died in his sleep in the early hours oflast Saturday week, aged 68.

He is survived by his wife Lorraine, their twodaughters, Narelle and Sharlene, and fourgrandaughters.

Last week friends and family rememberedMr Morrissey as a devoted husband, father andfriend.

He was born in Burwood on New Year’s Day,1945. He met the love of his life, Lorraine, at aballroom dancing class in September 1964 andwithin a year, the pair were engaged, then mar-ried in 1967.

Mr Morrissey was prominent in Monash,having built a thriving business, BurwoodPlumbing, and had a successful council career.

He was elected to Waverley Council in 1990,

and, after council amalgamations, was electedto Monash Council in 1997. Mr Morrisseytwice served as mayor.

Mrs Morrissey said Monash meant a lot toher husband.

‘‘He just liked to be part of the community

and just assisting wherever he possibly could.Hopefully he’ll be remembered as a good blokewho helped wherever he could.’’

In Mount Waverley, Mr Morrissey was thego-to person and the phone ran hot at BurwoodPlumbing with calls asking for help or advice.

Friends recall a man who was unfailinglyobliging.

‘‘He’d never say no,’’ said Norm Gibbs. He’dalways be there to help. (He was) a good hus-band and a good father, an honest businessmanand a great worker in the community. And bestof all, a great Australian.’’

Friend and fellow councillor from the firstMonash Council, Jack Davis remembers MrMorrissey as ‘‘a genuine representative of thepublic and a good councillor.’’

‘‘Tom was very passionate about thecouncil,’’ he said. ‘‘I remember him as a loyalfriend and a devoted councillor.’’

Outside home and family life, one ofMr Morrissey’s greatest joys was watching hishorse, Toorak Toff, run. He also had a passionfor band music and one year, Lorraine took himto see the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Sydneyfor his birthday.

In the days before his death, the couple tooka short holiday to Bright and Wangaratta andstopped by a trout farm. He caught four fishand was looking forward to cooking them.

‘‘It was freezing cold and about four degrees

and do you know, he’s standing there in hiswaterproof jacket and his hat and he had somuch fun for those 45 minutes,’’ Mrs Morrisseysaid.

Asked how she would remember Tom, shesaid: ‘‘As a devoted husband, probably the bestsupport person I could ever, ever ask for, a greatcommunity man. (He) loved his daughters(and) his grand-daughters. He was a reallydevoted family man.’’

A day behind barsnot such a hard cell

The judge: Acting magistrate Brian Barrow will be playing the role of Judge Cranky during the Whitelion Bailout,

which raises money for disadvantaged youth. Picture: Stephen McKenzie

BY DANIEL TRAN

FOR the most part, the people who come beforemagistrate Brian Barrow do not want to be there.

But this week, some will pay for the privilegeof being judged and jailed by the magistrate toraise money for disadvantaged youth.

As part of the Whitelion Bailout, participantswill step into the place of disadvantaged youthand be locked up in the Old Melbourne Gaol toexperience life in prison. Stripped of belongings,fingerprinted, photographed and fed gruel,inmates will be given cell time. The program,which raised more than $500,000 last year,exposes the pitfalls facing underprivileged youth.

Mr Barrow, of Wheelers Hill, will be playingthe judge, a role he knows well from his years inthe judicial system as deputy chief magistrate andacting chief magistrate of Victoria.

The theme of this year’s event will be ‘identity’.It will feature the struggles faced by fair-skinnedindigenous people and newly arrived asylumseekers, both of whom are torn between cultures.

‘‘It’s hopefully making people think. But also

saying [to] members of the wider community,you can do so much to help these people. There’sno cost to the community for people saved, butthere’s a huge cost . . . for people who are notconnected and who go down the path of crime,’’Mr Barrow said.

As the state’s first drug court magistrate, MrBarrow has seen first-hand the plight of disad-vantaged youth.

He said a lack of support for at-risk youngpeople resulted in many facing a magistrate likehimself.

‘‘There’s a whole range of issues that youngpeople experience and often the first resort isdrugs. The only way that a lot of people canreally deal with their pain and their lack ofopportunity and their sense of helplessness is toself medicate. Basically we’ve got to offer themsomething better.

‘‘My view has always been [that] people aren’tnecessarily born inherently evil. They are moreoften than not a product of their environmentand that’s what Whitelion’s trying to change.’’

FEATURESTORY

In turbulent economic times many Australians will change jobs, sometimes several times, before they retire. KAREN COOMBS talksto three people who have turned their backs on successful careers, determined to walk a different professional path.

Middle age dreaming

Hitting the books: Kerry Georgiou gave up working in her family’s successful catering business to study nursing. Picture: Gary Sissons

Kerry Georgiou was at the top of hergame. Her catering business was capableof handling 10,000 meals a week, she

was comfortable in the family business andenjoyed a lifestyle that comes with a goodincome.

But Georgiou was bothered by a persistent‘‘call’’ that wouldn’t go away.

After 20 years of running a successfulhospitality business, she made a decision thatmeant a massive drop in income, and enrolled atuniversity, fulfilling a lifelong dream of becominga nurse.

Georgiou, 38, reflects the growing number ofpeople trooping back to class in search of careerfulfilment.

In 2011, there were 444,087 mature-agestudents (aged 25 or more) at Australianuniversities. They accounted for 36.4 per cent ofall university students — well up on the 2001tally of 255,757.

Whether it is the attraction of better pay, moreflexible hours or job satisfaction, the concept ofcareer change is something many people considerbut few actually follow through with, saysInspirational Workplaces director Iain Crossing.

Georgiou, who lives in Pakenham, says it wasan exciting moment when she held her studentcard for the first time.

‘‘I was gung-ho,’’ she said, smiling.‘‘I needed to learn and expand my mind. I

needed intellectual stimulation.’’But returning to full-time study is not like

taking up a new hobby. As a single mother offour children aged between five and 12, andworking part-time, she has hardly a minute tospare.

‘‘You need to be organised and allocate yourtime. You can’t afford to get behind like theyounger students. They can cram their work inbut my time is limited to catch up.’’

Not all those who change occupations mid-career enrol at university. After 14 years workingas a pharmacist, Upper Beaconsfield’s DavidStarchenko went from the sterile world of medi-cine to ‘‘getting his hands dirty’’ as a plumber.

Now into the second year of his apprentice-ship, Starchenko, 37, who eventually wants toown his own business, is glad he made thechange.

‘‘I was making good money, but I wanted to trysomething different,’’ he said.

‘‘Life’s too short to spend so much of your timeworking and I didn’t want to do something Ididn’t feel I was enjoying any more. I liked beinga pharmacist but I had no more goals left,nothing left to achieve.’’

With most new apprentices aged around 17,those who take up apprenticeships later in life arerare, and Starchenko says that you have toconvince your potential employer that you’reserious and up for the hard work.

‘‘It’s a hard job, dirty and physical. You have toconvince them that you’ll stick around, that

you’re not going to disappear six months into it.They didn’t take me seriously for the first threemonths . . . you have to prove yourself.’’

Starchenko acknowledges that when it comesto taking up an apprenticeship, you’ve got to bein a position to handle the pay cut.

Iain Crossing cautions that not all careerchanges have a happy ending. ‘‘A career changemay bring happiness, but it also has the potentialto make things worse.

‘‘I have observed people make career changesthat haven’t worked. The most important advicefor people considering a career change is tointegrate the heart and the head. If you justfollow one of these, it increases the risks. Youhave to be able to weigh up the risks versusthe rewards. Really consider how the choice youare making aligns with your personal values, lifeand family goals.’’

Starchenko, whose wife is expecting their firstbaby in July, values the feeling of achievementbrought about by turning his hand to somethingnew.

As a pharmacist he ‘‘worked my guts out andhad no energy left for anyone else at the end ofthe day’’. But as a tradie, ‘‘you have more time forfriends and family. I found it easier to balanceeverything out’’.

Regret is not on Georgiou’s radar either.

‘‘People are too afraid to step out of theircomfort zone. It feels like that moment when youjump into a pool of cold water. You shut youreyes, grit your teeth and jump in, but it only takesabout half a second to get used to it. With theexperience of age, you’re able to hit the groundrunning.’’

Georgiou believes her 20 years in the cateringindustry aren’t wasted. Working part-time atBerwick Healthcare, she’s realised that the skillsshe developed to manage the stress and demandsof hospitality would come in handy in nursing.

She hopes her age and experience will makeher a better nurse.

‘‘If I had gone into nursing when I was young, Idon’t think I would have been the nurse that Iwill become now.

‘‘When you’re a school leaver, you don’t appre-ciate it at the same level. [Study] encroaches onyour time. As an adult you celebrate the oppor-tunity.’’

Scott Woollard, 41, who is studying for amasters in teaching at Monash University Ber-wick, also believes in the benefits of a careerchange later in life.

‘‘We should never discount life experience,’’ hedeclares. ‘‘When you are mature, you are sure ofwho you are in the world. You are more confid-ent with the passions you have in life and more

willing to take risks.’’Woollard found the inspiration to take a risk

and change direction when he and his familywent to Cambodia in 2011 with InternationalChildren’s Care Australia.

He was confronted by the extreme poverty inthe country and came to a realisation that educa-tion played a key difference between poverty andprosperity.

The husband and father of four began to thinkabout the youths back home and how he couldplay a part in helping youngsters struggling in theeducation system realise the advantages theyhave living in Australia.

‘‘What if we engaged with some of our disen-gaged students? Maybe they don’t realise howgood it is. [They need to see] ‘If I want to makesomething of myself, I need to be educated’.’’

Before plunging into full-time study, Woollardworked as a sales and marketing manager fortwo global seed companies. The change in envir-onment has suited him.

‘‘It’s been a breath of fresh air compared withthe corporate world I was in.’’

Woollard admits that while his career changehas been a financial drain at times, he believes heis sowing something that will outweigh the costs.

‘‘I see it as an investment into the future, some-thing of value, and for that I’m grateful.’’

INBRIEF

Bomb alert: pair arrestedA 23-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman,

both from Glen Waverley, were assisting police

after Dandenong police found a homemade

bomb in a parked car. Two police were walking

the beat in Bennet Street near Greaves

Reserve about 4.30am on Saturday when they

spotted a suspicious car. The police then

found an explosive device and called the

bomb response unit, which disabled it. The

pair were arrested at the scene.

Teen stabbedA teenager was stabbed during a robbery of a

liquor store in Ashwood about 8pm last

Thursday. Two men entered the Cleveland

Road store and demanded cash. A scuffle

broke out with staff, resulting in a 17-year-old

worker suffering a stab wound to his torso.

The men fled after stealing a mobile phone

and wine. The worker was treated at The

Alfred hospital. Police said he was in a stable

condition.

Development director namedMonash Council has appointed Sue Wilkinson

as its director of city development. She

replaces Paul Kearsley, who has moved to a

role with the City of Greater Dandenong.

Ms Wilkinson was formerly the general

manager of environment and planning in the

City of Port Phillip, where she worked on the

city’s economic development strategy and the

Fisherman’s Bend renewal project.

Ms Wilkinson will be responsible for economic

development, urban design and architecture,

planning, building and statutory services.

Jaywalkers, cyclists targetedPolice next month will launch a three-month

operation to crack down on pedestrians and

cyclists breaking road rules. Acting Sergeant

Mark Wickman said Operation Eastern would

target jaywalkers and cyclists who ran red

lights in Monash, Whitehorse, Boroondara and

Manningham. Jaywalkers face a $70 fine and

red light offences for bike users carry a $352

penalty. “With the worsening weather condit-

ions, the roads become more unsafe,” Acting

Sergeant Wickman said. “At busy intersect-

ions, the first person who jaywalks is usually

concentrating, but it’s the second person who

sets off without thinking who gets hit.”

Appeal for blood donorsThe Red Cross Blood Bank needs 2200 new or

returning donors to roll up their sleeves over

the next three weeks. Blood is needed for

people with cancer and for premature babies

and surgical patients. Blood types O and A are

in special demand. Prospective donors are

asked to call 13 14 95.

Former refugeestands his ground

Go back to where you came from: Chisholm Liberal candidate John Nguyen, a former asylum seeker, stands

behind stronger border protection policies. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY DANIEL TRAN

JOHN Nguyen knows the desperation that con-sumes refugees. He arrived in Australia in 1980after fleeing communist Vietnam in 1979. Hisfather, who had fought for anti-communistforces, was sent to a re-education camp.

After nine months in a Malaysian refugeecamp, his family was processed by the UnitedNations and given refugee status by the Frasergovernment.

But while he comes from a generation ofasylum seekers, the Liberal candidate forChisholm is a supporter of stronger border pro-tection policies.

Mr Nguyen says he is different from contem-porary refugees because his family had soughtasylum at the first place they arrived, instead ofusing the country as a launching pad to another.

‘‘A refugee is someone who leaves their home-land for fear of persecution and . . . goes to thefirst country that would accept them asrefugees,’’ he said.

Mr Nguyen said his family applied to a

number of countries but Australia was the first toopen its doors.

‘‘If you asked my grandparents and myparents, they’re very supportive of the systemthat allows fairness and integrity. Most peopledid it the right way and understand what it’s liketo spend months, if not years, in a refugee campwaiting to be processed.’’

Mr Nguyen’s apparent lack of empathy forrefugees might appear to sit oddly with his past.He believes his family came to Australia the‘‘right way’’ but at the time they sought asylum,Australia was accepting thousands of a refugees amonth — a figure it no longer maintains.

Mr Nguyen said Australia had to protect itsborders to ensure the immigration process hadintegrity.

‘‘We’ve got millions of people who are inrefugee camps across the world. What do we sayto those people who are waiting for years? Thatwe’ve only got 17,000 places and, by the way,your place . . . has just been pushed back becausesomeone else has jumped the queue and theycame to Australia by boat?’’

Mr Nguyen said refugees needed fair andcompassionate policies like the Coalition’s.

‘‘Compassion from our perspective is (sending)the message out there that you should not riskyour lives coming to Australia for a bettereconomic future by paying people smugglers.

‘‘I would love for Australia to be a country thatwelcomes as many people as we can. The realityis we can’t at the moment because of resourceconstraints, infrastructure constraints, which iswhy we need an orderly process to bring peopleto Australia.’’

State’s library plan‘must be shelved’

Concerned: Mount Waverley councillor Jieh-Yung Lo has questioned whether the proposed Victorian Libraryscheme will benefit Monash. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY DANIEL TRAN

A CENTRALISED state-wide library service thatwould give Victorians access to every book andresource in the system could be detrimental toMonash’s own services, says one local councillor.

Mount Waverley ward’s Jieh-Yung Lo said‘‘not even one thing’’ proposed in an ongoingtwo-year review by the Ministerial AdvisoryCouncil on Public Libraries, would benefit Mon-ash.

Under the proposed plan, the Victorian Lib-rary will give people one card to be used at anypublic library in Victoria. Users will be able toborrow a book and return it to any library in thestate, download e-books and search for resourcesusing one website.

The program, which would mean the intro-duction of a new library management system andbooks being couriered across the state, is expec-ted to generate significant costs.

Cr Lo questioned how much it would costcouncils. He said the state government had failedto provide a strong business case.

‘‘Having a look at the latest state governmentbudget, there is no new funding for public librar-ies. If the government is serious about looking atthis Victorian library concept, there should bemoney within this budget and also future years inthe forward estimates for public libraries.’’

In its report, the advisory council recommendsthat the new Victorian Library have a statewidenon-English-language book collection andstronger community engagement programs —initiatives that Monash already implements,according to Cr Lo.

‘‘We’re quite proud of our library services andthe programs we offer through that and theresources that we put out there for our com-munity.’’

Cr Lo was concerned that the quality of Mon-ash’s services would mean funding would beallocated to more disadvantaged libraries.

‘‘What I’m seeing ...is a potential reduction offunding from councils like Monash. Our rate-payers and residents are very proud of our libraryservices and they want to make sure that theirrate dollar goes into Monash libraries.’’

Soul sistas are back

Behind the beehives: The Fabulous Singlettes of

Naomi (brown wig), Melissa (blonde wig), Diane (red

wig) are taking their show to the Karralyka Centre.

BY YESSAR DAOU

It’s a rib-tickling romp through the music of the’60s and ’70s as the Fabulous Singlettes strutinto town on Saturday.Naomi Eyers, Diane Dixon and Melissa Lang-

ton are bringing their show to the KarralykaCentre in Ringwood.

Their zany sense of humour has thrilledaudiences around Australia and beyond. Theydebuted in Sydney almost 30 years ago and havetaken in Vienna, London, Berlin and Hong Kong.

Nevertheless, Langton says it’s the onlyproduction she’s never gotten sick of doing.

‘‘There are shows I’ve done that I get bored ofeasily. I don’t think I’ve ever done a Singlettesshow that I haven’t enjoyed.It’s much more abouthaving fun than being too serious. It still has veryslick choreography, but the main thing is thatwe’re actually all good vocalists.’’

Langton’s credits include Les Miserables ,Jesus Christ Superstar and The Pirates of

Penzance. Dixon has lent her voice to backingSuzi Quatro and the Commodores. The Singlet-tes themselves are the creation of Naomi Eyres.

Langton, who grew up in Oakleigh South, says

the audience has much to look forward to froman hour and a half of rollicking entertainment.

‘‘At the end I feel like I’ve been hit by a freighttrain. We don’t stop, so it’s exhausting.’’

The performance features hits such as Time Is

On My Side by the Rolling Stones, Be My Baby

by the Ronettes and River Deep Mountain High

by Ike and Tina Turner, although, with a bit of atwist.

‘‘All of us are over 40, so in that sense it’s notthree skinny little chickens trying to look attract-ive,’’ Langton says with a laugh.

‘‘It’s very tongue-in-cheek — we don’t justsing. There’s some dialogue and we make fun ofbeing girly-girls. Even though 40 to 55 is prob-ably our demographic, everybody will get ourjokes. It’s very generic.’’

The Karralyka Centre is on Mines Road inRingwood East. Tickets for the Fabulous Singlet-tes are $41.50, or $38.50 for concession. Formore information or to book, phone on 98792933 or visit karralyka.com.au

Cup winner: Irma Bale won the Sandown Cup

on Thursday night. The win is celebrated by

Paul Wheeler, trainer Graeme Bate, Eddie

McGuire and Joe Briffa.

Irma makes it anight to rememberBY MICHAEL FLOYD

GREYHOUND Irma Bale defended herRSN Sandown Cup by holding off a fast-finishing Bell Haven and the gallant Miatain one of the most exciting finishes in therace’s rich history on Thursday night.

In front of the biggest Sandown Cupcrowd in many years, retiring championMiata was sent to the boxes as favourite— just the second time in her 51-startcareer that she started ‘‘in the black’’.

But it was Irma Bale who flew the boxesto take a commanding lead, passing thepost the first time.

Irma Bale turned off the back straightwith a three-length lead as Destini Fireballset off in pursuit.

Miata had recovered from a poor startto begin her run along the rail. Tasmanian

star Bell Haven switched to outside tomake her run.

In a frantic run to the line, Irma Bale didenough to hold off Bell Haven by half ahead, with Miata just a further head awayin third in 42.10.

Just 23⁄4 lengths separated the first sevenrunners over the line.

Irma Bale trainer Graeme Bate praisedhis winning greyhound.

“It was a super run. She’s a special grey-hound,” Bate said.

“She just gives her all every start.‘‘To hold off a field like that was just a

courageous effort.”Irma Bale became the fourth greyhound

to win successive Sandown Cups. Theothers were Paul’s Thunder (1970-71),Lizrene (1972-73) and Bold Trease(1986-89).

The $125,000 winner’s cheque took herprizemoney to $541,801 and moved intofifth place in the all-time Australian prize-money list. Miata retires with a recordthat may never be matched: her $715,508in prizemoney is an Australian record.

Basketballer gets call for DeaflympicsBY ROY WARD

GLEN Waverley athlete Patrick Lane has wonselection to play basketball for Australia at theDeaflympics in Sofia, Bulgaria in July.

The 23-year-old took on basketball at theurging of some friends who also play in thenational team, the Goannas, and was surprisedto make the team after attending try-outs earlierthis year.

Lane qualifies for the team as he was born with

hearing problems that became worse with age.He has a hearing aid in his left ear and five yearsago had ‘‘almost no hearing’’ in his right earbefore receiving a cochlear implant.

‘‘I’m lucky that the technology is there whichallows me to hear,’’ he said.

Lane had previously played Australian Rulesfootball but is now turning his 190-centimetreframe to basketball, which in turn will see himrepresent his country at the highest internationalcompetition for deaf athletes.

‘‘I haven’t really thought about what it will feellike yet to play for Australia. I think it will feelincredible.’’

Just as Lane’s ascent to the national team wasunexpected, so was the Goannas’ entry into thetournament, with the team first denied a placebefore Spain was unable to field its team, open-ing the door for Australia to play.

The late entry has left Goannas players scram-bling to pay for their tickets to the competitionwith travel, board and living expenses costing

approximately $6300 a player plus additionalcosts for pre-tournament training camps.

Lane and the others in the side are busy train-ing and fund-raising for the tournament.

‘‘I’m the kind of person who is always keen fora challenge and I’ll give this competition 110 percent,’’ he said.

Loss turns to gain as Cannons win coach

New boss: Miron Bleiberg as taken the reins at the Oakleigh Cannons. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

SOMETIMES when you lose, you also win.Oakleigh Cannons could well be in that

category after signing former A League coachMiron Bleiberg to lead the side for the rest of theVictorian Premier League season.

Bleiberg took charge of the Cannons in an‘‘interim’’ capacity against Dandenong Thunderon May 17 with the Cannons losing 1-0.

The former Gold Coast United and BrisbaneRoar coach said the persistence of Oakleigh offi-cials and his dented pride at losing to the Thun-der helped convince him to take the role for therest of the season.

‘‘At first it wasn’t meant to be and then thefriends of Oakleigh convinced me to stay,’’Bleiberg said.

‘‘First I said no, then coached for one week.Funny enough the people are nice and the playerseager to learn, so I have kept coaching.

‘‘The funniest thing is that we lost that firstgame and it hurt my pride and I decided to stay. Itcould be that if we hadn’t lost then I may nothave stayed.’’

With all A League coaching positions filled forthe next season, Bleiberg said he would be able tocoach out the VPL season before looking tofuture opportunities in elite football.

Bleiberg also admitted he was concernedtaking the Oakleigh role could tarnish his reputa-tion at professional level.

‘‘It was a difficult decision from a few points ofview.

‘‘The first point was that I’m moving here frominterstate and the second point is that from a pro-fessional point of view, you consider yourself anA-League coach and on the fringe of getting yournext coaching job, so having an involvement inOakleigh, whether we win or lose, doesn’t doanything to help me.

‘‘Sometimes in football you need to be selfishin that way, but I felt that in this game and in mylife I can do what I want to.’’

Coaches have moved between the nationalleague and VPL in past seasons. Former Cannonscoach Arthur Papas moved from the VPL tobecome Newcastle Jets youth league coach afterthe 2011 season and former Thunder coachStuart Munro became Perth Glory assistantcoach late in the same season.

Bleiberg admits he has little knowledge ofthe VPL and its players but he remains confidentthe side can turn its slow start to the seasonaround.

Bleiberg also said he was unlikely to make anytransfers in the near future, at least until he learnsmore about the needs of his new side.

‘‘Ask me about the A League and I know every-thing but with the VPL I know close to nothing.

‘‘So there is no point for me to add players ifyou don’t know who to add.

‘‘I’ve started to implement some things [tactic-ally] and the players have responded well. Everyteam has its weak points, whether it’s Manches-ter United, Barcelona or Oakleigh Cannons.’’

The Cannons did announce the signing offormer Wellington Phoenix player Alex Smithlast week but that move was pursued beforeBleiberg came to the club.

While the Cannons sit outside the top five, theclub still has a wealth of talent and the majorityof its players from last season’s grand final side.

The Cannons played South Melbourne atLakeside Stadium on Sunday evening with thematch finishing after the Weekly went to print.

Central nets twohandy victoriesMONASH University Central stood tall againstthe challenge of playing two Victorian NetballLeague games in four days last week.

Central won both matches, notching a 51-44win over Southern Saints at Mentone Grammarlast Sunday and following it up with a 60-49 winover Yarra Valley Grammar Ariels on Wednes-day.

Despite the tight schedule, Central coach LeesaMaxfield said her players pushed through bothmatches and took two important wins.

‘‘The game against the Saints was a good,physical sort of netball game that we managed towin,’’ she said.

‘‘To come out and win by seven goals is a goodresult considering we lost to them in round 1.The girls took a lot of confidence from the win.

‘‘We back up pretty well against Yarra Valleybut we didn’t play that well yet still came awaywith the win.’’

Central also had to juggle its centre courtcombinations with centre Teagan Ashmore onholiday in America as Lil O’Sullivan moved tocentre alongside wing attack Lauren Tscharkeand wing defence Natalie Tommasini.

‘‘We knew at the start of the season that wewould lose Teagan for four weeks,’’ Maxfieldsaid. ‘‘So we have prepared for it.

‘‘Lil did a good job at centre.’’Central has two more tricky fixtures in the

coming fortnight, facing premiers City WestFalcons this Wednesday night and high-flyingBoroondara Genesis the following week.

‘‘They will be two tight games,’’ Maxfield said.‘‘City West is similar to Southern Saints in that

we can expect a good, strong netball game andwe’ve been on the losing end in the past fewmatches against them but there is not a lot ofdifference between the two sides.

‘‘If we keep our error rate down and take ouropportunities to score, then we will be in a goodposition.’’ — Roy Ward

Blues back from the wildernessBY ROY WARD

Out of reach: Waverley Blues’ Ryan Tily, right, reaches for the ball with Mulgrave’s

Luke Simpson in their EFL clash on Saturday. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

IN past years four straight lossesand a host of injuries to key posi-tion players would have endedWaverley Blues’ season.

For too long injuries and a lack ofbelief left the Blues with too manylosses in the always-competitiveEastern Football League division 2competition.

But this season something hasclicked, something has changed orperhaps a few pennies have droppedfor the Blues.

They’ve bounced back from theirinjury and form problems to winthree straight games after losingtheir first four matches.

The latest win came against localrivals Mulgrave at MulgraveReserve on Saturday. The Bluesrecovered from a half-time deficit tostorm home in the final term andclaim a 15-point win.

Blues coach Brett Davidson, inhis first season in charge of the club,said a combination of a refreshedmindset and the insertion of severalspirited young players had fuelledthe change in fortunes.

‘‘We stuck to our guns,’’ David-son said.

‘‘The most surprising thing is thatwe had a lot of injuries to key posi-tion players. We’ve basically hadour whole goal to goal line out dur-ing the past four weeks, but theboys we’ve brought in have done afantastic job. There is real belief inthe side.’’

Davidson said that in somematches this season the Blues had

featured as many as 10 players agedunder 20. In the win over the Lions,‘‘quality’’ youngsters Kieran Nolanand Mitch Hayes played key rolesin the victory.

Nolan, an Oakleigh Chargers-listed player, was named best playerand took ‘‘six or seven’’ tellingmarks in defence in the last term.Hayes, a Port Melbourne-listedplayer, offered plenty of run to theside.

‘‘We have also played four or fiveplayers from our under-19s so far.

They have filled roles at fullforward, centre half-back and in thecentre,’’ Davidson said.

‘‘The most encouraging thing isdespite having so many players upin the seniors or reserves, our under-19s are still playing top-notch foot-ball and winning matches in theircompetition, which shows we havegreat depth heading into thefuture.’’

Davidson said he had addressedthe issue of the team’s mentality inthe early rounds of the season.

‘‘We talked a lot about what hashappened in the past — aboutmentally what the team has beenthrough.

‘‘The players admitted when theywere in front and had teams comeback, they started to think ‘‘here itgoes again’’ and dropped theirheads.

‘‘It also happened in our loss toMooroolbark in round three, wherewe led but then went back into ourshells and played panicked footballin the last 10 minutes.

‘‘But that’s the beauty of bringingyoung kids into the team. Theydon’t carry that history or mentalbaggage. It has just introduced avitality to the group.’’

Davidson said he was hopefulfull-forward Rob Hartfield wouldbe fit to return against top teamMontrose this Saturday.

‘‘We have four or five key playerswho should come back betweennow and the mid-season break.

‘‘There is a real change in philo-sophy now.

‘‘There is no such thing as freeride — you have got to earn yourplace in the side.’’

Jon Hindson, Hamish Leahy andRyan Tily joined Nolan in the bestplayers. Mulgrave’s best were Rob-bie Edwards, Nuru Jammeh andSeb Henderson.

Top two stay unbeatenMOUNT Waverley and Doveton Eagleskept their undefeated starts to the SouthernFootball League division 3 season going onSaturday with big wins over EndeavourHills and Ashwood.

The Mountain Lions were never reallychallenged by the Hills as they fell behind inthe first term and never recovered.

Mount Waverley won 20.22 (142) toEndeavour Hills 5.7 (37) at MayfieldReserve.

James Gough kicked four goals for theMountain Lions while Michael Dennis,Josh Barnetby, Shane Constantino and Gar-rett Kinchington were named best players.

Sandown Cobras fell further back fromthe division 3 top five after a 23-point lossto Dandenong at Edinburgh Reserve, leav-ing question marks about the Cobras’ finalschances.

In a much improved division 3 competi-

tion, last year’s grand finalists are now onewin adrift of fifth place Lyndale and moreimportantly have lost four straight homegames from the first seven matches fallingto Doveton Eagles, Mount Waverley,Lyndale and now Dandenong at EdinburghReserve.

Clint Sheedy kicked three goals for theCobras while Matthew Menzies and JohnFrenken were named best players.

In division 1, Clayton got a solid winover Heatherton claiming victory by 29points to take a one-win lead in fourth placeon the ladder.

Brendon Johnson and Xavier Deaytonwere best players for the Clays while Alex-ander Johnson kicked three goals.

Dingley had its first loss of the season,falling to St Paul’s by 12 points.

In division 2, Oakleigh District lost toHampton by 54 points. — Roy Ward

Krushers’ joy deflatedTHE joy of Oakleigh’s victory over Peninsula the previousweek soon dissipated on Saturday as the Krushers werebrought back to earth with a thud by Old Camberwell atScammell Reserve.

The Krushers were under the pump from the very start intheir Victorian Amateur Football Association Premier Cmatch. Old Camberwell rattled on five goals, five behindsand kept the hosts to just five behinds in the opening term.

A revitalised Oakleigh hit back with five goals in thesecond term, but a couple of indiscretions undid all the goodwork as the visitors picked up three goals from free kicksand added another three to take a 35-point lead into thelong break.

Oakleigh struggled after the long break, adding onlyanother three goals as Old Camberwell racked up anothernine to claim a thumping 12-goal victory.

Old Camberwell won the match 20.13 (133) to Oakleigh8.13 (61).

Dermot Cleary booted four goals for the Krushers andLee Barrand and Gary Bennett added two each.

Aisea Valentini and Steve Buchanan led Oakleigh’s bestplayers. — Neil Smith
