Growing up in his home country the Philippines, Dennis Aquino was a winner of several amateur singing competitions, going on to represent his school in special musical events with success. He continued his passion for performing on at university.

Since his arrival in Australia, he has been active in the music scene in a wide variety of events. Most recently, he has been a guest soloist with the Orchestra Movements in the Marsh (OMM) at the

Deans Marsh, Lorne, and Birregurra festivals, heading a group of 150 performers with gusto. His own band, called Smoothe Jive based in Melbourne, performs across a wide spectrum of venues. The Philipino/Australian combo has played at Geelong, Warrnambool, Dandenong, Narre Warren, Chelsea and in Melbourne. The band plays for birthdays, weddings, and is a feature at Multi-Cultural events and festivals.

As a solo artist (singer and guitarist), Dennis loves a lot of our Country songs, and popular ballads from the 70s and 80s, songs that everyone loves to sing along to. His silky voice has a vibrancy that is a thrill to hear, with energy and passion in the gift that he wishes to share.

A re-elected Turnbull Government will provide $100,000 in solar and battery storage grants to community organisations across Corangamite.

The South Barwon Football and Netball Club and Lorne Surf Life Saving Club are the first to receive grants of up to $15,000 each to help the community play its part in reducing Australias emissions and directly benefit from lower electricity bills, Ms Henderson said.

The Lorne Surf Life Saving Club will see a reduction in electricity bills meaning the club can spend more money on vital lifesaving equipment.

The South Barwon Football and Netball Clubs electricity use will reduce by around 2,200 kilowatt hours every year.

This solar boost builds on over $390,000 in solar grants already delivered to community organisations under the Surf Coast Solar Towns program.

The Coalition recognises the important role community and household solar plays in Australias transition to a low emissions economy with an increase in renewable energy.

The Solar Communities program will provide funding for groups across Australia to install rooftop solar PV, solar hot water and battery storage systems for community owned buildings, Minister Hunt said.

Community organisations such as churches, sporting clubs and scouts will be able to apply for funding of up to $15,000. Around 350 community groups are expected to benefit from the expanded program with $5 million available.

Under the Turnbull Government, half a million households and businesses have already made the switch to solar, Minister Hunt said.

Australia has the highest proportion of households with solar panels in the world about 15 per cent.

The Australian Governments Renewable Energy Target provides for an average rebate for a solar system of $3000, or about 30 per cent of the installation cost.

Recreational anglers are being reminded that the season for trout fishing in Victorian rivers closes at midnight on Monday 13 June, however fishing for Murray spiny crayfish opens from 1 June.

Fisheries Victoria Executive Director, Travis Dowling, said anglers would still be able to fish for trout in lakes, but that rivers would be closed from the end of the Queens Birthday long weekend to protect spawning trout and give wild stocks an opportunity to reproduce.

The three month trout closed season applies only to rivers and streams, although sections of sea-run rivers, such as the Aire, Gellibrand, Hopkins, Merri and Moyne, remain open, Mr Dowling said.

We still want people to enjoy our trout lakes because were aiming to grow participation to one million anglers by 2020 as part of the State Governments Target One Million plan for fishing.

Many of our trout lakes are stocked with brown trout, rainbow trout and even Chinook salmon, all of which are funded by recreational fishing licence fees and Target One Million.

Trout fishing in rivers will re-open at midnight on Friday 2 September, 2016.

Mr Dowling said whilst some freshwater anglers would pursue trout in lakes through winter, others would turn their attention to catching Murray spiny freshwater crayfish in the states northern waters during June, July and August.

Murray crays are a slow growing crustacean so its really important that

anglers obey catch limits to ensure the fishery remains sustainable for future generations.

The minimum legal size for is 10cm and the maximum size is 12cm.

To help anglers measure their catch accurately, free plastic measures funded by fishing licence fees, are available from Fisheries Victoria by calling the Customer Service Centre on 136 186.

There is a daily bag limit of two Murray crays per person that applies when anglers are on or adjacent to inland waters and an absolute state-wide possession limit of four crays per person.

Murray crays must be retained by anglers whole or in carcass form, however female crays carrying eggs or with young attached must be released immediately and unharmed.

Up to 10 baited lines, with no hooks attached, may be used. Hoop nets are permitted too although the number depends on the waterway being fished.

Trout season closes, cray season opens


Dear Editor

I understand that councils face many challenges. Examples include the recent freeze on rate rises above inflation, increased demand for services, and inadequate road space for all classes of travellers and so on.

Notwithstanding this, I have some questions I'd really like answered:

1. Rate rises many mayors and councillors complain about having their annual rate increases limited to inflation. Every organisation that spends money would love to have an inexhaustible supply of it. Unfortunately, this is impossible. Many businesses I know struggle every year to just equal last year's revenue. For them, guaranteed annual increases are the stuff of fantasy. Why is it so different for councils?

2. Travel expenses most of us love to travel overseas and this is a perfectly legitimate activity when paid for using one's own funds. When local councillors make long trips, however, eyebrows should be raised. Almost everything that is discussed at the hundreds of forums that occur around the world can be accessed online. In addition, the federal government has ministers whose job it is to visit other countries and forge relations. Why do you feel it is necessary to spend ratepayers' money on expensive overseas trips?

3. "The three Rs: Roads, Rubbish and Rates" get all these things right and then, and only then, can various other initiatives be pursued. I struggle to find a suburb without potholes in its roads and footpaths. Why aren't these being fixed quick smart? And many councils are reducing rubbish collection from weekly to fortnightly why?

4. Crusades Far too many progressive types of council pursue agendas well above their station. Examples include lobbying on behalf of refugees (few of whom pay rates or are entitled to vote in local elections), pursuing greenhouse gas reduction policies (surely a national and international problem), same sex marriage (clearly the province of federal parliament), and attempting to limit the spread of nuclear weapons (something even the United Nations has struggled to achieve). Local government is just that, local. Why do you choose to focus on high-minded policy goals that are clearly the purview of other levels of government, rather than policies you can actually achieve in service of your local constituents?

5. Feuds far too much time is spent pursuing vendettas between different political factions. Why not instead, try and work together for the common good?

Letters to the Editor Bridge work set to begin in ColacMajor strengthening upgrade works to the bridge over the Geelong-Warrnambool railway line in East Colac will begin in July 2016.

VicRoads Project Director Tim Price said prior to work commencing on the bridge itself, work will be undertaken to straighten and improve safety on Flaxmill Road which forms part of the selected detour route.

We are working with Colac Otway Shire to realign the Flaxmill Road/Marriner Street intersection and improve safety before the detour will be used, Mr Price said.

This detour was selected following extensive consultation with the local community, businesses and key stakeholders who have provided support for the project.

We will straighten this section of Flaxmill Road improving accessibility for trucks travelling to businesses such as the Australian Lamb Company.

This will ensure the temporary detour along Flaxmill Road, Marriner Street and Clark Street is ready for use while the major strengthening works are happening to the bridge over Geelong-Warrnambool railway line.

The initial works will begin immediately while the major bridge works will begin late July, which is when traffic will be diverted along the detour, he said.

Speed restrictions will be in place at the intersection of Flaxmill Road and Marriner Street and on the bend of Clark Street near the Australian Lamb Company while road improvements are made. Drivers are asked to obey all signs and traffic controllers who will be on site to direct drivers.

Cut and Fill Pty Ltd has been awarded the contract to strengthen the bridge in East Colac as part of this project.

Works are expected to be completed late 2016.

To coincide with the annual review of its Council Plan 2013-2017 the Surf Coast Shire Council is introducing Council Purpose and Organisation Direction statements.

Surf Coast Shire Council Mayor Cr Rose Hodge said the introduction of a Council Purpose and Organisation Direction would help ensure the Councils activities were focused on community needs as they evolved.

Council provides more than 100 distinct services so it follows that on a daily basis we interact with many different community sectors, said the Mayor.

Defining a clear and meaningful purpose is quite a challenge given this diversity so we have given much thought to a defining statement that will guide our strategic focus and decision making, said Cr Hodge.

Research indicates that organisations with a clear sense of purpose, which is

well understood by the people within that organisation, perform better.

We have worked on a statement that spells out our purpose and we are now seeking community feedback, said Cr Hodge.

The Surf Coast Shire Councils proposed Council Purpose states the Council exists to:

Help our community and environment to thrive

Surf Coast Shire Council CEO Keith Baillie said an Organisation Direction was being introduced to guide thinking on future challenges and opportunities.

Council needs to be an effective and efficient organisation to meet community needs we need to be clear on what is required of us in a changing world, said Mr Baillie.

We are at an interesting point in history with many influences combining to impact on how we operate factors such as rate capping, pervasive technology,

alternatives to government-provided services, environmental change and social disadvantage these will all influence our future direction, he said.

Our proposed Organisation Direction is intended to address these questions and articulate our future focus.

This is particularly important to ensure we continue to meet community needs, said Mr Baillie.

The proposed Organisation Direction states that the Surf Coast Shire Council will be: An innovative and flexible leader, and a constructive partner, that values the strengths of others; a place where people can do their best and be proud of their achievements.

Both the Council Purpose and Organisation Direction are currently available for public feedback through Surf Coast Shire Councils online engagement hub at www.surfcoastconversations.com.au.

Comments close Sunday 12 June.

A submission for funding for a number of items was submitted to Council recently by local group Growing Winchelsea Inc.

The hoped is that funding for these items can be included in this years Council Budget.

Following up on the written submission, two members of Growing Winchelsea addressed a special meeting of Council last Tuesday, to put forward our case for the funding.

The items selected by Growing Winchelsea are-

Funding for Projection and sound equipment for the Globe Theatre - Return of the Movies to WinchelseaGrowing Winchelsea Inc., in conjunction with The Globe Theatre Committee of Management and the Winchelsea Repertory Society Inc., is pleased to make this submission for an allocation of $17,000.00 in the 2016/17 budget to equip The Globe Theatre with audio-visual and associated equipment, enabling a return of the movies to Winchelsea.

The Globe Theatre was constructed by the Lawrence family in Winchelsea in 1926-27 as a picture theatre and concert hall. It provided a venue for Marjorie Lawrence to perform. Subsequently, she became an internationally acclaimed soprano. The Globe was used for movie screenings, weddings, dances and horticultural shows. In 1946 The Globe was acquired by the Winchelsea Shire Council. It is

currently managed by as.86 committee on behalf of the Surf Coast Shire Council and is used for old time dances, the annual art show, various ad hoc public and private events and the annual performances of the Winchelsea Repertory Society Inc.

The Dressmaker movie

Surf Coast Shire sponsored a movie screening at The Globe in 2013, using hired equipment. Prior to that, movies had not been shown at The Globe since the1950s.

In 2015/16, the National Trust exhibited the costumes from the movie The Dressmaker at Barwon Park Mansion.The exhibition was a huge success.

Many Winchelsea residents were intrigued by the exhibition and were keen to see the movie, but by the time the exhibition was in full swing movie screenings in mainstream theatre had finished.

A subcommittee of Growing Winchelsea Inc. was formed with the objective of showing The Dressmaker movie at The Globe. The sub-committee organised screening rights, borrowed video and audio equipment and screened the movie over three days in February 2016.

Almost 340 people enjoyed watching The Dressmaker movie at The Globe. Many observed: how wonderful it was to have a return of movies to Winchelsea; and the special nature of the experience of watching a movie in the beautiful environment of The Globe.

A large number of residents asked (and have continued to ask):could we get movie screenings back to The Globe on a regular basis?

A subcommittee of Growing Winchelsea Inc. has therefore examined the feasibility of this prospect, and is enthusiastic and confident about re-introducing regular movies to Winchelsea.

Benefits of a return of movies to The Globe

The Dressmaker screening highlighted the social and community benefits of screening movies in Winchelsea.

The event provided an opportunity for families and friends to socialise locally, in daytime or evening hours, with modest expense and no travel burden. In a township that is relatively isolated geographically, has an ageing population and has poor travel linkages, these are important outcomes.

The movie generated much interest and conversation about a range of topics including life in the 1950s, the value of The Globe and Barwon Park to Winchelsea, life in small towns and human resilience and endeavour. It built a remarkable amount of social capital in a very short time.

A permanent capability to show movies in Winchelsea will bring considerable benefits to residents and visitors of all ages. Growing Winchelsea Inc. proposes to show carefully selected movies on a regular basis, focusing on a number of population groups including youth (who have few opportunities outside sport to socialise within Winchelsea) and older people (who often find it difficult to travel to Geelong for movie screenings).The organising committee plans to link with sporting and other clubs in Winchelsea to engage the whole community in this endeavour.

Growing Winchelsea Inc. seeks extra Council funds


Any surpluses from the endeavour will be reinvested by Growing Winchelsea Inc. in the Winchelsea community.

There will also be a focus on generating an authentic mid-20th century experience, to suit the architecture and ambience of The Globe.

Regular movie screenings will increase community opportunities to use and enjoy The Globe, which is a beautiful building, highly valued by the Winchelsea community.

There is also an opportunity to engage visitors travelling through Winchelsea on a Friday evening or Sunday afternoon in taking in a movie and perhaps enjoying a meal locally, before travelling onward along the Great Ocean Road or home to Melbourne.

There is an active subcommittee with members possessing considerable energy to drive and support this initiative. Members understand the intellectual property requirements of publicly showing movies, and also have high level technical capability in the operation of audio-visual equipment.

The subcommittee has taken advice on the most suitable audio equipment. Purchase of a surround sound system has been strongly recommended to meet contemporary expectations of movie experience. A surround sound system will also enhance the quality of regular performances of the Winchelsea Repertory Society Inc., and can be used for all sorts of musical and other events regularly conducted at The Globe.

Conclusion

The Dressmaker screening demonstrated the potential to enhance community involvement in arts, culture and entertainment in Winchelsea. It also highlighted the potential for using The Globe, a much loved community asset, as an ongoing venue for screening movies.

We are very keen to capitalise on the lessons learned and the community support generated from this initiative. Some members of the Winchelsea community are socially isolated and a return of the movies to The Globe would generate enormous community capital.

We hope Surf Coast Shire will support us in this initiative.

Funding to assist with the continuation of the Winchelsea RSL Anzac Day serviceThis submission to the Surf Coast Shires 2016/17 budget is made by the Winchelsea RSL with the support of Growing Winchelsea Inc.

The ANZAC Day ceremony of remembrance is a very special day for the Winchelsea RSL and the Winchelsea community. The ceremony has been well-attended over the years. Over the past few years, attendance numbers have increased markedly. In 2016, approximately 300 people attended.

The event has broad significance to our community. It allows the community to pay its respects to all those who served, to reflect on its safety and security and to show its support for our valued veterans.

With the growing number of participants, a lot of organisation is required to plan and conduct the ceremony. While in the past most tasks have been completed on a voluntary basis, members of the RSL are ageing and many are now unable to directly support the organisation and conduct of the ceremony.

The traditional community morning tea that follows the event has now grown to such a size that it is impossible to cater for it safely with donated food.

The RSL has also incurred considerable direct costs over many years, associated with conducting the event. As the event grows, additional infrastructure including staging, music equipment and microphones is required.

The RSL is therefore seeking support from the Shire to maintain and further develop this important community event.

To offset expected costs in 2017, the RSL submits a request for a grant of $2,000.00 to support this important event.

Green waste disposal prior to the summer seasonAs an incentive to ratepayers to clean up their properties prior to the bushfire season, and following the successful trial of the free green waste disposal last year, Growing Winchelsea would like to see the scheme implemented Shire wide, for this upcoming summer season.

The timing would need to be discussed with local CFA brigades, but our suggested time would be September to November.

Council officer presence in WinchelseaAs put forward in the meeting with Council Executives, Growing Winchelsea would like to see a Council Officer on hand in town to answer ratepayer queries, handle small problems and take payments, etc., on a regular basis.

We request that this trial should cover other towns in the Shire also, and suggest a trial period of six months to gauge usage and satisfaction from all parties.

There was the offer of office space in the Uniting Church Hall, or the Visitor Information Centre could also be a convenient spot.

A big belly bin to be installed near new toilet blockThere have been problems with overflowing rubbish from the bins outside the new toilet block. Household waste is being taken to the site and dumped, and consequently the bins are left overflowing, leaving no space for visitors to deposit waste.

It is hoped that the design of these new bins would stem the dumping of bags full of household waste, due to the size of the inlet opening.

Welcome to Winchelsea signs at entrances to townDuring construction work to duplicate the Princes Highway, the town name sign was dismantled and never replaced.

We would like to see the sign replaced with the updated style as used throughout the Shire and also placed at the major entrances to town (both directions of the Princes Highway, the Winchelsea-Deans Marsh Road, Inverleigh-Winchelsea Road etc.)

I love my dad playing in the house with me.

The Three Little Pigs Leah Howarth Grade 1

Once upon a time there were three little pigs who lived with their mother in a cottage by the woods. One day the wolf came along and saw the straw house. He blew the house down and then he blew the stick house down. Then two pigs went to the brick house. The wolf puffed and puffed and puffed. He gave up and went away.

Making Sandwiches Abi Kuchenmeister Grade 2

Goal: To make a delicious sandwich Ingredients/Equipment: 2 pieces of bread, butter, vegemite, plate, knife

Method: 1. Butter one piece of bread with the knife 2. Spread vegemite on the piece of bread that has butter on it. 3. Put the other piece of bread on top. 4. Cut the sandwich in half with the knife and place it on the plate. 5. Eat it! Yum, Yum!

Being sporty is better than being clever. Tylah Doss - Grade 3/4

'Come on Tylah you can do it,' I said to myself. I am so close to the finish line and sweat is dripping off my face and people are shouting out my name. 'Yes!' everyone cheers as I come first crossing the line. That's why being sporty is better then being clever.

Firstly your body stays in shape when you are sporty. When your body stays in shape you can get around places quicker. Your body stays in shape you will not get bullied for being overweight so if you stay in shape you feel nice and fresh. Another reason why being fresh is a good thing is that you don't feel itchy and smelly and you won't like that would you?

Another reason why you should be sporty rather than smart is sport is really fun.

Sport is really fun because you get heaps of fresh air. You will stay healthy if you are sporty. Sport is really fun because you get to do really fun relays. Also when you are sporty you feel good for yourself. Also if you feel good for yourself you will feel proud as well and that always feels good don't you think so?

Finally you can be active if you are really sporty. If you are active you can get better at sport. If you are active you can get healthier quicker and if you get healthy

quicker you won't feel sick and disgusting and that is definitely terrible. Also if you are sick you might have to go to the hospital and nobody wants that, do they?

In conclusion, I think that being sporty is much better than being sporty. Do you want to be sitting around trying to figure out really hard maths all day? I definitely think you should get outside in the fresh air and be sporty. I'll assure you that you will love being sporty more than being smart.

Improved Information/direction signs within townVisitors to Winchelsea have a tough time locating the Hub, the Health Club, or Eastern Reserve (or even the swimming pool if driving west). Thats because there are no direction signs to these venues.

Signs to the Netball courts and Football Ground are almost hidden, while the swimming pool sign is only visible to those heading east.

The sign at the entrance to Eastern Reserve has been damaged and is faded, and lacks direction arrows.

There is no direction to the Police station for travellers heading east.

There are no signs on the Princes Highway to the Tennis Courts, Mens Shed, Hesse Street Cricket Ground, the Bowls Club or the Uniting Church. The street sign on the corner of Hesse Street outside of the Vault, is far too low to be readable when driving.

We have gems in our playground, picnic facilities, including barbeques and picnic shelters and riverside picnic tables, but we dont let travellers know whats there. The signs we have are 500

metres or more away from the facilities, and there are no signs at the street where the facilities are situated.

A thorough stocktake of the present signage would be undertaken by Growing Winchelsea and a list compiled of where new signs are needed, if Council is willing to undertake this project.

Funding for promotional material for Farmers MarketsWe, Growing Winchelsea Inc., are planning to begin a Farmers Market in Winchelsea later this year, with the old bluestone bridge being the preferred site.

Help in needed to fund material such as flags, bunting and A-frame signs, to alert passers-by to the market.

It is estimated that $2000 would be needed for these materials, and we are seeking Councils help to defray these costs.

Purchasing a VMS (Variable Messaging Sign) TrailerSgt. Janet Gleeson of Winchelsea Police, has suggested a portable, variable sign to alert motorists about safety issues.

It was thought that the board could be used to promote driver awareness of speed limits, dangerous situations as well as giving us the ability to promote functions, festivals or events being held in the surrounding areas.

Other towns, like Anglesea, use similar signage. Their signage is used to promote Swim between the Flags during peak visitation periods.

This will be a joint project between Growing Winchelsea Inc., Bendigo Bank, Winchelsea Neighborhood Watch and the Winchelsea Lions

The cost is estimated at $10,000 and we are seeking Council assistance to purchase the board.

Industrial Precinct SignageDirection signage to the existing precinct needs to be improved for traffic entering town from both directions.

The area along the Princes Highway could be beautified by Council with the mass planting of native plants.

The factory owners need to be encouraged to clean-up and beautify their own premises from within.

Those innocent looking wild mushrooms can killWith rain falling over recent weeks and the earth still warm, delicious mushrooms are popping up all over Lorne and surrounds, but picking the wrong sort can make you very sick. They could even cause death.

Mushrooms are found on grassy slopes above the Erskine River Camping Ground and on various open spaces around Lorne, and most of them are of the edible variety that make a delicious addition to many meals. However, the Department of Health & Human Services has issued a warning against gathering wild mushrooms because of the risk of collecting poisonous varieties which may appear very similar to edible varieties. Victorias Chief Health Officer, Professor Charles Guest has warned of the abundance of two of the States most poisonous varieties the Death

Cap fungus, Amanita phalloides and the Yellow Stained Mushroom, Agaricus xanthodermu.

While commercially-sold mushrooms are safe, poisonings can occur when people gathering wild mushrooms inadvertently include toxic species, Prof Guest said.

Anyone who becomes ill after eating mushrooms should seek urgent medical advice and, if possible, take samples of the whole mushroom for identification, he said.

Autumn conditions have created ideal growing conditions for poisonous mushrooms, Victorias Chief Health Officer, Professor Charles Guest, has warned.

People should avoid gathering wild mushrooms around Melbourne, in rural

Victoria and from their own gardens because of the risk of collecting poisonous varieties which may appear very similar to edible varieties,

Prof Guest said. He identified the dangers of two of the States most dangerous varieties, the Death Cap fungus, Amanita phalloides and the Yellow Staining mushroom, Agaricus xanthodermus.

Be safe and buy your mushrooms from the Supermarket or other commercial retail outlets.

More information about this species can be found on the Better Health Channel website and a Chief Health Officers alert is at:

We know that spinal function does affect brain function. Theres now solid evidence that adjusting the spine changes brain function.

The most recent study performed by an independent medical researcher and published in The Journal of Neural Plasticity (1) suggests that adjustments impact the function of the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that is like the conductor in the brain.

If this part of the brain is responsible for so much higher level function, what does this mean in terms of Chiropractics impact on things like behaviour, decision making, memory and attention, intelligence, processing of pain and emotional response to it, autonomic function, motor control, eye movements and spatial awareness?

It shows us that every time someone is adjusted, its having a big effect on the

brain, and a brain thats functioning differently and conducting its activities better is sure to have a positive effect on the body.

The VFF is calling on all concerned Victorians to put their names to a petition calling on the State Government and CFA to stand their ground and not sign the draft 2015 Enterprise Agreement (EA) with the United Firefighters Union (UFU) in its current form.

The Unions absurd demands risk seeing 60,000 volunteers walk away from the CFA and would lead to a massive blowout in the Fire Services Property Levy (FSPL) that all farmers, country households and businesses pay on their rates bills.

The draft Enterprise Agreement (available here) is littered with clauses and schedules that give the union power of veto over CFA resourcing and staffing.

The VFF is calling on all concerned Victorians to sign the petition, which pledges to call on the State Government and CFA to stand their ground and not sign the draft 2015 Enterprise Agreement (EA) with the United Firefighters Union (UFU) until:

The full cost of the draft Agreement to the CFA and State Government has been independently assessed and made public. This assessment must not only consider the impacts of additional staffing and wage increases, but also the cost of increased allowances, penalties and resources needed to employ existing UFU members, plus 509 additional paid firefighters.

The full impact of the draft agreement on the Fire Services Property Levies that Victorian farmers, households and businesses pay to fund the CFA is independently assessed and made public. This assessment must cover the period up until at least June 30, 2019.

All clauses are removed from the agreement that restrict the CFA Chief Officer and board from exercising their right to recruit, direct and allocate staff to where they are needed. (The draft agreement currently states the CFA must employ another 509 career firefighters by June 30, 2019).

All clauses are removed from the agreement that force the CFA to gain UFU approval to employ casual and part-time staff, allocate resources and appliances. As it stands the CFA must gain union approval (on a case-by-case basis) before any casual or part-time staff can be employed, which acts as a major barrier to women working as paid CFA firefighters.

THE extraordinary story of Li Cunxin which millions of people are familiar with from the autobiography and movie Maos Last Dancer is coming to COPACC in June as a stage play for children.

Lis story was also captured in a picture book The Peasant Prince which has been adapted by the multi-award winning Sydney-based Monkey Baa Theatre Company.

The play opens when Li is 10 and taken away from his beloved parents and everything he knows in rural China to a ballet school in a metropolis.

Years of hard work, gruelling regimens and self-determination see Li transform from a peasant to an internationally feted prince of the dance world.

Monkey Baa first approached Li about creating the play three years ago and he is rapt with the outcome.

I very much enjoyed the creative process and working with the wonderfully talented team led by Tim McGarry at Monkey Baa, Li said.

They exercised incredible sensitivity and respect towards my story. Im very pleased that The Peasant Prince effectively captured the key elements and essence of my life experiences.

I still feel rather surreal that my story has been read or watched by that many people around the world I had to resist the temptation to pinch myself when I watched my own story unfolding on the stage in Sydney recently.

It brought so many memories back for me. I was thrilled and satisfied.

The show features two beautiful fables one told by Lis father and one by his beloved ballet teacher in China.

Both fables feature in The Peasant Prince book and explore issues of poverty, hope, perspective, dedication and determination.

I hope that my story not only motivates the children to achieve their dreams, but also would make them realise just how

lucky and privileged they are living in todays wonderful world full of possibilities, Li said.

The Peasant Prince, playing at COPACC on June 15 & 16, is suitable for people aged 6-plus and is sponsored by Quest Skills for Life and Cow Lick Bookshop.

Tickets are $20 and available from the box office on 5232 9418.

We returned home this week to face the might of Werribee Centrals, who have had ongoing success in the netball section of the GDFNL since inception. Once again the 15 & Under team did us proud and scored a win, while all other grades fought hard but were outclassed by the sides that Werribee produced.

A Grade Werribee 67 def Winchelsea 28

Whilst the result was not that great the margin was reflective of the effort our young team put out. Ebony Berg was given the go ahead to turn and shoot at every opportunity and did extremely well to convert over the tall and strong Werribee defender. Sara Groves provided some real strength to our attacking end playing out of position in Wing Attack. Changes to our side and the Werribee side at the half meant that we were much more competitive in the second half, but we had chances against their tall timbers at either end of the court.

Best Players: Ebony Berg, Sara Groves and Rata Hunia

B Grade Werribee 42 def Winchelsea 17

Facing second placed Werribee with only one win under our belt was always going to be a tough game. Werribees whole court defence meant we really struggles to score with only eight goals on the board about halfway through the third quarter, luckily for us we stepped up after this and Werribee took the foot off the pedal enabling us to more than double this score in the remaining quarter and half. Our last quarter was our best with Werribee only outscoring us by one goal. Overall we are very pleased with our efforts against a quality side.

Best Players: Abbey Todd, Tori Hose and Bronwyn Walker

C Grade Werribee 53 def Winchelsea 24

The girls were a bit slow and cautious in our first wet game of the season, however we are happy with our performance against the ever strong Werribee. With multiple injuries last week we had to make some positional changes to fill the holes. New recruit Rachel Frost stood out having a run in the attacking end and delivering well to Lyndal OGrady who shot well over an extremely tall defender. Young Jess Loone ran and fought hard all game.

Best Players: Jess Loone, Rachel Frost and Lyndal OGrady

D Grade Werribee 34 def Winchelsea 20

We started off very strong and were four goals up at quarter time but unfortunately we couldnt maintain the momentum or combat Werribee when they stepped it up in the remaining three quarters. Lesley Mathison was on fire in the goal reminding us what a talented players she is. Tilly Campana really stepped us this week with disciplined defence and great attacking drive. She was well supported in the centre court by Kim Allen who did a great to keep the ball up to Lesley for conversion. A much better performance by D Grade this week and they should be proud of their effort.

Best Players: Lesleys Mathison, Tilly Campana and Kim Allen

17 & Under Werribee 24 def Winchelsea 12

With Werribee a couple of places above us on the ladder we thought we might be a chance, unfortunately it just wasnt our day. We placed reasonably well however with the new players to our team fitting in well and Michaela Collins particularly combined well with Connie Royal in defence. They provided endless turnovers which when the delivery to Ebony Berg were converted with accuracy. Werribees whole court defensive pressure forced many turnovers by us through the mid-court enabling them to take a reasonably comfortable win.

Best Players: Michaela Collins, Connie Royal and Ebony Berg

15 & Under Winchelsea 20 def Werribee 10

Coming off a loss last week we knew we need a good win this week to secure a spot in the top 3. A steady start saw us fumbling in wet conditions which proved to be consistent for the remainder of the game. Our defensive combinations were excellent again with Beth Connors and Izzy Loone causing many turnovers together. Our attack end however found it difficult to convert and too many balls were thrown away. Ieisha Brown was running hard and choosing the correct options when under pressure. Another great win for the girls to keep us comfortably in the top 5.

Best Players: Beth Connors-Southall, Ieisha Brown and Izzy Loone

13 & Under No game this week as Werribee do not have a 13 & under team.

Round 9 saw the Blues play host to Werribee Centrals at Eastern Reserve last Saturday. It will be the only time the 2 sides meet during the Season due to the way the draw is scheduled.

SENIORS Werribee Centrals 21.21.147 def Winchelsea 12.16.88.

For the third week running the Blues started well and dominated the play only to re appear after time to fade away and allow Werribee to take control of the match. This becoming a predictable trait of the

Blues performance, showing so much promise in the first half of football to almost look like a different side after the long break. Fitness? Mental application ? The game requires 4 quarters of football, and the Blues are letting themselves down.

GOALS: Dave Tucker 4 Michael Condon Pat Caddaye-Rose Tavae Sauni Luke Larsen Josh Carracher Kurt Berg Daniel Sprigg Ricci Sauni all 1 goal.

BEST: Josh Carracher Tyson Berg Dave tucker Jackson Smith Daniel Sprigg Fergus Inglis

RESERVES Werribee Centrals 10.14.74 def Winchelsea 6.5.41.

The Reserves are really scratching for numbers at the moment, but managed to field a side on Saturday to play Werribee Centrals who were yet to win a game in the Reserves. Unfortunately for the Blues this was to be the week they would record their first win, Werribee lead all day and despite a spirited come back in the third quarter the boys couldnt make up the difference.

GOALS: Andrew Leak 3 Joe Wojtowicz 2 Shane Brady 1

BEST: Oli De Lievre Will Thomson Joe Wojtowicz Andrew Leak Ryan Konzag Michael Pink.

This week we host Belmont Lions at Eastern Reserve and it would be great to see the brand of football that we are being shown in the opening quarters to extend after time to give Belmont a real shake.

This week also sees Byron Mathison play his 150th game for the Club. Boz has been a great contributor to the Club over the years, as both player and Clubman. Win lose or draw there is never any doubt about Boz giving 100% on the field, and he has always had that quality in his off field achievements also. This season sees him as co-Captain and the Club invites all its supporters to come and share in this milestone for Boz and the Club.
