t’s certainly been a bumper month for babies. We have had bigger months before but they are usually more isolated – we might get a spike of one or two months in the year, but not like this and looking at the next six months, there’s definitely a growth spurt going on.

It’s a positive for the hospital, it’s the work we do and we like to embrace more work. We are capable of handling the numbers that are coming through – after all that’s what we are here for.

Babies are getting bigger on average, if you look back over the big picture to 20 years ago; babies are at least 300 to 500 grams bigger.

Women are healthier, they have better diets and as a result the babies grow bigger and healthier.

I feel very privileged to be able to share and play a small part in the wonderful experience of child birth. It’s never dull, it’s a wonderful thing having babies and bringing new life into the world.

I’ve lived in Sandringham and I’ve been extremely lucky to live in a one kilometre radius from where I grew up, my whole life.

I am the manager of the maternity unit which encompasses the birthing suite, postnatal and special care nursery, breastfeeding support service and ante-natal clinic. I have been in this role for four years and have spent the majority of my career at Sandringham Hospital.

I’m a trained midwife – I did my training in paediatrics at the Royal Children’s Hospital so was always around children and babies, I guess it was just a natural progression to end up in this role.

I like treating well women –

women who are having babies are generally well compared with other people in the hospital so we use the well-women’s model.

At Sandringham Hospital we have

a special-care nursery for some of our babies that need a little extra support.

I’m a mother of three adult children and a grandmother of two – I had my children at Sandringham Hospital.

There’s no one specific memory that stands out from my time at the hospital, it’s just a terrific place to work and it has a very community feel to it.

Baby bonanza hits Bayside

Sights set on sites

BY LAURA BANKS

THIEVES stealing from building sites in Brighton are the target of a new campaign.

Bayside council is teaming with local police to combat building-site thefts, which have spiked dramatically in the past month.

Building sites are being targeted by thieves that are hitting the houses just before handover and taking hot water services, whitegoods and power tools.

Bayside crime prevention officer Leading Senior Constable Peter Jarvis said security advice would be offered to builders and renovators during the planning application stage in an attempt to reduce the number of incidents across the municipality.

“It is difficult to secure a building prior to construction being complete and we believe offenders target areas like Brighton knowing that the material and appliances are likely to be high-end, quality products,” Leading Senior Constable Jarvis said.

“If you see large delivery-type vehicles operating in residential areas at night, especially around buildings being built or renovated, please contact police immediately,” he said.

Bayside council director of city strategy Shiran Wickramasinghe said the council would work with police to ensure the community became more vigilant. Contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.

SANDRINGHAM Hospital is in the midst of a baby boom.

Seventy-four babies have been born this month and 69 are expected to arrive before November 1 – a predicted total of 139.

Normally, the hospital oversees about 100 births. In October 2011, 92 babies were born.

Forty-three boys have been born compared with 31 girls and eight births on October 15 have ear-

marked the date as the busiest – the number is more than triple the standard 2.6 births-per-day average.

Hospital staff said Amelia, Jasmine and Julian were popular names with mums and dads choosing more feminine names for their girls but a variation for boys.

Bentleigh’s Helen Colosimo gave birth to her third child, Amelia, on October 17.

The happy bub arrived on time and weighed 3.2 kilograms (or seven pounds).

“It’s been fantastic and the mid-

wives have been extremely helpful in restoring my confidence. Being my third child, they have reassured me on how to do things,” Mrs Colosimo said.

Sandringham Hospital nurse unit manager of maternity Kay Kurth said the birth rate increase was exciting for the hospital.

“We have been increasing gradually but this is a bit of a bumper month,” Ms Kurth said.

The midwife said she could not pinpoint a particular reason for the increase.

Triple Zero Hero Charlie keeps cool in an emergency prised to see how calm and in control he was during the emergency.

“Listening back to the tape, there’s a little quiver in his voice that highlighted how scary it was for him at the time and he was able to tell them about a medical condition that I didn’t think he knew about.”

Highett siblings Bailey Clarkson, 12, Jesse, 10, and twins Taylor and Summer, 7, were also recognised with an award after working together to provide life-saving CPR when their mother, Dani, lost consciousness and stopped breathing in August.

Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority chief executive Ken Shymanski said the Junior Triple Zero Hero awards recognised and rewarded the youngsters’ initiative: “These young people’s actions demonstrate the importance of teaching children about triple zero.”

CHARLIE Furphy is your typical carefree 10-year-old; he loves sport and his friends.

But when his mother, Sally Gorton, fell ill in October last year, Charlie took action – taking his two younger brothers under his wing and calling triple-0 for help.

Last week, the bright Elsternwick Primary School grade five student’s bravery was acknowledged with a Junior Triple Zero Hero award.

“It was really scary, I was really shaken up and just thank God that I got my message across to the ambulance people,” Charlie said.

The Brighton boy knew exactly what to do when his mother became faint, her chest became tight and heart began to race.

“I was really nervous that I’d get the wrong address, and that could be really bad,” he said.

Ms Gorton said she was proud of her son, admitting she was sur-

Brighton bucks market trend

BY LAURA BANKS

QUOTABLE PEOPLE PAY A

l.banks@fairfaxmedia.com.au

BRIGHTON is one of Melbourne’s top growth suburbs in a flatlining real estate market, industry figures reveal.

Real Estate Institute of Victoria statistics released last week ranked the aff luent suburb sixth for the September quarter, with a jump of 6.8 per cent. The average house price recorded in Brighton was $1.64 million.

Brighton growth came in behind Thornbury (11.4 per cent), Yarraville (8.8 per cent), Preston (8.2 per cent), Mitcham (7.3 per cent) and Cranbourne (6.9 per cent).

Brighton took the title of the most expensive average house price and was followed closely by Camberwell on $1.4 million and Hawthorn at $1.27 million.

Brighton East was the ninth most expensive suburb, recording an average price of $938,750, a

decrease of 8.4 per cent.

Brighton also topped the table for most expensive average unit, with an increase of 2.1 per cent putting the median price at $845,000.

Port Melbourne recorded the second highest average unit price at $606,000, with Bentleigh East showing a decrease of 6.8 per cent to land on an average of $585,000.

REIV spokesman Robert Larocca said Brighton was selling for $400,000 below its 2010 peak, in the first quarter. “It ... really reflects that people can buy into Brighton at prices they wouldn’t have been able to in the past,” Mr Larocca said.

“People pay a premium to live on the bay in Melbourne, particularly in areas such as Brighton.”

HAMPTON Primary School pupils took to the stage last week to showcase their self-written production, Chocolatte. Inspired by Roald Dahl’s famed Charlie and the Chocolate Factor y, 160 grade 5 and 6 students brought to life their adaption in front of an audience of 1400 over two nights. The performance at Kingston Arts Centre involved digitally projected backdrops and pre-recorded music from the 1950s and 1980s.

Performing arts teacher Traci Cenedese said the play was written to incorporate as many students as possible, with almost 80 students given speaking parts. “It’s a great opportunity for kids to really shine,” Ms Cenedese said.

VOX POP ARE BAYSIDE COUNCIL CANDIDATES PLAYING DIRTY IN THEIR CAMPAIGNS? BRIAN HARRISSON, Highett If they are going around pulling down posters that are put there legally then I have a problem with that, it’s wrong to try and sabotage like that. In public they should behave themselves and set a good example for the community.

RICHARD FROMBERG, Brighton East It is totally unnecessary, it would make a difference to how I vote for them but I am more interested in what they are planning to do in the area.

PETER MANUEL, Hampton They need to get a life, how do they expect us to take them seriously when they act like that, they are not mature enough to be in their positions.

Street politics show mean side

BY LAURA BANKS l.banks@fairfaxmedia.com.au

BAYSIDE’S local government election has been marred by dirty campaigning, some candidates say.

Northern ward candidate Marcus Bastiaan told RL he had received anonymous, abusive phone calls telling him to withdraw from the election.

Candidates have called on police to settle disputes, campaign signs and posters have allegedly been torn down, and there have been reports of dummy candidates outnumbering

legitimate ones in one ward, directing preferences to their political allies.

Central ward Greens candidate Michaela Newell said she was outraged when incumbent Felicity Frederico began campaigning in front of her booked stall in Hampton Street, Hampton, on October 13.

“I had to call the police to remove her from standing in the middle of our street stall handing out her own flyers,” Ms Newell said.

“I had a permit for the site and she had no right to be there. I asked her to move but she wouldn’t.”

Cr Frederico said under local laws, Ms Newell’s permit did not stop other people giving out leaflets.

Cr Frederico said she moved, “in the interest of keeping the peace”, further down the street at the request of the police.

No charges or fines were issued.

The dispute has been reported to the Victorian Electoral Commission.

In a separate matter, Ms Newell said about 50 of her 60 campaign posters had been torn down.

Northern ward incumbent Alex del Porto said that in his 15 years on

council, he had not come across such a “dirty campaign”.

“It’s descended to a very personal level,” Cr del Porto said.

Brandon Hoult, a first-time council candidate, said he believed that of the 19 candidates running alongside him in Central ward, only seven were legitimate.

The Local Government Act sets out clear rules for conduct during an election campaign.

Interfering with others’ political rights during an election can lead to a fine of up to $16,900 or one year’s imprisonment.

SCARILY GOOD FUN Ghastly ghouls and ghosts – like these Gardenvale Primary students – will be lurking in Elsternwick this week as part of the American Women’s Auxiliary annual Halloween Extravaganza. Families in Bayside and Glen Eira are invited to dress up on October 28 to help the group raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital bioethics centre. As there can be no door-to-door trick-ortreating, attendees are encouraged to dress up their car boots and then enjoy the final hour of the event at Elsternwick Cricket Ground by visiting the Halloween cars and collecting treats. The event will run from 1.30pm to 5pm. Details: awamelbourne.org/halloween.

■ JOBS FOR YOUTH Youth Connect’s 100 Job Opportunities in 22 Days campaign led to 113 young people registering, 79 jobs being listed, 49 job referrals made and seven vacancies being filled in Bayside and Kingston.

■ PRIMARY PRAISE St Peter’s Primary School in Bentleigh was given a pat on the back by Energy and Resources Minister Michael O’Brien last week when he visited to encourage the school to continue its energy efficiencies.

The addition of solar panels on the school’s roof has meant the installation of 28 airconditioners has not increased power bills. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

BAYSIDE council’s Zero Food Waste to Landfill pilot program has received a funding boost.

The program has welcomed a $50,110 grant from the Metropolitan Local Waste and Resource Recovery Fund that will enable the purchase of 200 green cones.

Bayside council city strategy director Shiran Wickramasinghe said the green cones, which will be distributed to properties throughout the municipality, aided the composting process and aimed to minimise household waste that ended up in landfill.

Traders rocked by campus move

Poll pranks mar campaign

BUSINESS owners around Swinburne’s Prahran campus are preparing for a population shift when the university closes its High Street campus in 2014.

Profit losses and declining patronage are being predicted by many businesses whose clients are mainly students. Borsch Vodka and Tears’ manager Ron Bernarte said the bar would need to reconsider its opening hours as students account for about 40 per cent of lunch business.

“There would be a loss in profits,

of course, in patronage and an overall loss in the vibe that surrounds the place,” Mr Bernarte said.

However Mannie Dittmer, owner and operator of Piccolo Espresso, is optimistic there will be minimal effect on his small High Street cafe.

“We have a good mix of clientele.

Ideally, we would like another educational facility to move in because the student population adds to the culture of the area.”

The faculty will relocate to the Hawthorn campus in early 2014.

Local bar and pizza place Lucky Coq said students make up 60 to 70 per cent of its clientele on week-

days. General manager Sebastien Lepoittevin says the university’s move will force it to reassess its lunchtime marketing after years of working with the TAFE institution on promotional offers for students.

“The biggest concern facing traders is not the decline in business, but the loss of culture. Students provide a great mix of age groups, backgrounds and cultures.”

The traders’ fears come days after Premier Ted Baillieu failed to guarantee reinvesting the $50 million that would be raised from the sale of the Swinburne Prahran campus back into the Victorian TAFE system.

Albert Park MLA Martin Foley, has slammed Prahran MLA Clem Newtown Brown for remaining silent on the future of the university site since leaked cabinet documents revealed the Prahran site’s $50 million price.

But Mr Newton-Brown says his support for the community of Prahran and the students is well documented and there remains a bright future for the High Street site.

Mr Newton-Brown said he has been in discussions with both Holmesglen and Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE about taking over the site.

Bowl up, bowl up THERE was no name-calling, heated arguments or Dorothy Dixers at state Parliament on Thursday. Instead,just plenty of good-natured competition as Mitcham Bowling Club took out the inaugural Parliamentary Bowls Challenge.

Blackburn North, Blackburn, Mitcham and Heatherdale bowls clubs took part in the tournament, organised by Mitcham MLA Dee Ryall.

The parliamentary greens are rarely opened to the public, and Mitcham Bowling Club president Trevor Wing-Quay said the 16 members of his club were thrilled to be involved. ‘‘The really good thing about this tournament is getting our clubs closer aligned and building a stronger relationship,’’ he said. ‘‘The clubs agreed we’d use people who have been our contributers.’’

MAN VS TOWER

AN envelope full of mysterious pebbles forced the evacuation of Boroondara’s election office last week while police investigated.

The pebbles were found to be harmless and staff were allowed to return to their Camberwell Road digs after two hours, Victorian Electoral Commission spokeswoman Sue Lang said. ‘‘The envelope was received at the election office, and the occupational health and safety officer for Boroondara council contacted the police,’’ Ms Lang said. ‘‘It proved to be nothing but some pebbles and some constructive advice for council about the coming election.’’

Police have also received reports about theft of election posters and letterbox flyers as campaigning becomes intense for Boroondara’s 10 council seats.

Bellevue ward contender Simon Phipps reported two incidents last week in which eight of his posters were cut from a fence in Kilby Road, Kew East. Posters belonging to Studley ward councillor Phillip Healey were also taken. ‘‘It was done fairly systematically by a malevolent person,’’ Mr Phipps said. ‘‘I don’t know whether it was somebody connected to another candidate or somebody from the lunatic fringe, but it is a component of this election that is not very nice.’’

The eight posters were worth about $140.

Cr Healey said he had not reported the theft of his posters.

He said that it was unlikely a rival candidate was responsible.

Boroondara’s 120,000 voters are required to return their completed ballot paper by October 26. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

EYE ON THE BALL: Parliamentary Bowls Challenge participants 8 BAYSIDE REVIEW LOCAL

>>

If a cat is ever stuck atop Mt Everest, Scott McGraw may be just the man for the rescue. The South Melbourne-based firefighter last week ran up 88 storeys to the top of Eureka Tower – 31 times. Each climb from the ground to the Skydeck took the 39-year-old up 1642 stairs and 284 metres. After 31 trips, McGraw conquered almost 51,000 steps – the equivalent of standing on the summit of the world’s highest mountain – in 111⁄2 hours. “I made a commitment to do it, but I couldn’t anticipate what it would involve both mentally and physically,” he said. “Halfway through I was really fighting and my body started to let me know it wasn’t happy. The second half was really challenging, but there were a lot of people there all supporting me and keeping me going.” He was also spurred along in the knowledge that every step raised money for Eureka Climb charity partners Interplast and Whitelion, for which he has collected nearly $2500. McGraw will be racing back to the top in the annual Eureka Climb on November 18, hoping to better his fifth place finish in the elite category last year. And he will do it all again as part of a MFB team in the Emergency Services Challenge, in which his team is the defending champion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ SPRING-CLEAN TIME It’s election time folks, so throw out your rubbish now and it may get picked up in under a month!

Unless you live off Bluff Road or off Reserve Road or off Bay Road or off Spring Road where frustrated residents and pensioners maintain perpetual piles of rubbish and good stuff since council removed all the charity bins.

But do not ring council twice or your home will be disqualified by the sharkskin suit crew who never learned to use a broom before being put in charge of pens and rubbish.

Keith Bacon / Highett ■ HARD ISSUE Has a compromise been considered for hard rubbish? Maybe, one yearly spring collection to encourage the annual clean out, and on-call for the rest of the year for occasions where residents need it. Cost may prohibit, but surely it’s not an exclusive ‘‘one or other’’ decision.

Ros Chatfield / via email

■ RULING UNFAIR I was astounded to learn that Supreme Court Justice Betty King, has taken it upon herself to deny victims the right to speak on their own behalf – deeming a great deal of the impact crime has on their lives to be ‘‘irrelevant and inadmissible‘‘. Surely the court can find the time to hear the impact that crime has had on the life/lives of the victim and their families, which must considered before the sentence is provided.

It is not just the criminal offence, as a crime, for which defendants are responsible but the results of their crime upon the victims.

Nola Martin / Preston ■ PRIVATE FINANCES The lack of financial transparency at private schools is becoming disturbing.

is nothing more than a vast rip-off.

Application fees of up to $200 soon add up if you are applying for more than one school, but there is no indication by the school if you have any chance of getting in.

Surely it would be nothing more than polite to let people know before handing over their application fee that if they proceed they were doing nothing more than providing the school with a donation to their coffers.

All of the supporting literature that these schools peddle to entice parents to enrol their children contain at least one statement about their standards. Apparently such standards don’t extend to honesty about the waiting lists.

Troubled waters As summer nears, the campaign to separate swimmers from jet-skis picks up speed, writes BRIDGET FITZGERALD

O

utspoken anti-jet-ski campaigner Vicki Karalis believes that when swimmers and jet-skis share the same water, it is a recipe for disaster.

There is no contest, she says, between a high-powered personal watercraft and a swimmer’s head bobbing above the waves.

“Swimmers and jet-skis should not mix.”

As president of the Sandringham Foreshore Association, Karalis has been lobbying for stricter jet-ski laws since a swimmer died at Port Melbourne earlier this year.

Robert Brewster, 51, was swimming near Lagoon Pier on February 24 when he was struck

>>

by a jet-ski. He suffered head injuries and died in hospital.

Karalis says it is only a matter of time before another such incident occurs.“Just like road rules change, we need to change the foreshore rules,” she says.

She wants jet-skis banned from Port Phillip Bay altogether but failing that, she says jet-ski riders should be made to ride further from the shore.

Current marine laws do not allow personal watercraft (PWCs), within 50 metres of a person, or within 100 metres of another vessel. Riders are restricted to speeds of 9km/h within 200 metres of the shoreline, but there are no

OCTOBER 24, 2012

speed limits beyond 200 metres.

Karalis wants the speed limit boundary increased to 400 metres.

In the six months before Brewster’s death, there were three serious injuries involving PWCs in Victoria.Two occurred in Port Phillip Bay. Between 2010 and 2012, Victorians registered 2345 PWCs with VicRoads, up 18.6 per cent.

Albert Park Labor MLA Martin Foley says the growing popularity of jet-skis will lead to more accidents unless stricter laws are introduced.“They are out together, and they are out in greater numbers.”

The State Minister for Ports,

Denis Napthine, says the state government has made beach safety a priority and has placed a “strong emphasis on boating safety” since October last year.

Napthine points to a funding increase for Transport Safety Victoria and a $20 million investment in the Boating Safety and Facilities Program as evidence of its commitment.

On September 12, the government introduced a bill to reform marine drug and alcohol laws, bringing the legislation into line with road laws.

The bill proposes that vessel operators under 21 must have a blood alcohol content of zero,

while those over 21 must be under .05.

Under the current legislation, law enforcement officers must prove that a boat or PWC operator is “impaired”. Napthine says this is ambiguous. while the proposed new rules are “black and white”.

But Foley says the Victorian government is not doing enough to prevent fatalities and injuries in Port Phillip Bay. He says the government missed an opportunity to toughen laws on PWCs when marine transport legislation was reviewed this year.

“They didn’t bite the bullet when it came to revisiting the legislation.”

Like Karalis, Foley is advocating

Parks Victoria is in charge of

unfairly targeted in discussions on beach safety.“I believe jet-skis shouldn’t be singled out. Boats and jet-skis should coexist with swimmers.”

John McCormick has been a boating and jet-ski instructor for more than 40 years but says he wouldn’t trust many of his own students on a jet-ski.

He says it is too easy to get a licence, and too many people undertake his course just “to get the piece of paper”.

Earning a licence involves participating in a five-hour supervised course before passing a written test at VicRoads.

Unlike riders in New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania, Victorians do not have to undergo a practical test.

Jet-ski operators must be aged 16 to get a marine licence and a specific PWC endorsement. But riders can operate the craft under 18km/h from the age of 12 if they have a restricted licence.

McCormick, who teaches at the Australian Boating College in Moorabbin, believes jet-skis are unsafe and that many students are ill-equipped to go out on the water with only a vague knowledge of personal watercraft guidelines.

“You can’t expect to turn someone into a knowledgeable person in four to five hours. It’s a fun machine but people forget that it can be lethal.”

STEVE LIGHTFOOT

On March 28, just a few weeks after Robert Brewster’s death, Foley and Murray Thompson, the state member for Sandringham, raised the issue of jet-skis and beach safety in parliament.

Widespread concern about PWC safety has since prompted Thompson to hold community meetings.“There are issues relating to compliance, enforcement and disruption to foreshore amenity,” he says.

Extending the speed limit boundary beyond 200 metres would help, he believes.“Common sense goes a long way. If it took them a few hundred metres out to sea, that would be to the benefit of other beach users.”

Though divided by politics, Foley and Thompson are united on this issue.

“Port Phillip surrounds a city of four million,” says Foley,“[with] millions of people interacting in what should be a fantastic and safe asset.”

But he says the bay is not as fantastic or as safe as it could be.

“The gentleman in Port Melbourne wasn’t the only one, and I fear he won’t be the last.”

KRISTIAN SCOTT

maintaining order in the bay. Since 2010, it has been introducing new boating and swimming zones across Port Phillip and Western Port to improve safety on the water.

The zones are marked by upgraded signage to clearly mark distances and swimming areas.

The first zone upgrade, between Port Melbourne and St Kilda, was completed in December 2010. Upgrades in the final zone, between Elwood and Mordialloc, will get under way at the end of the year.

Bayside council has worked with Parks Victoria to implement these zones, and the City of Port Phillip will supplement the zoning with an education campaign to promote public awareness of zone regulations.

Elwood Life Saving Club president Graham Thomas says the clearer zoning areas will make beaches safer but, like Foley and Karalis, he believes the 200metre speed limit zone should be extended.

“Two hundred metres isn’t very far. People do swim out there and they are hard to see.”

But he is realistic. He says it is impossible to prevent every accident, but his focus is on keeping swimmers and PWCs apart.“The bay is big; they [PWC riders] don’t have to come so close to shore.”

Personal watercraft supplier Marty Orchard, who owns Top Gear Sea-Doo in Seaford, believes 90 per cent of the bay can be shared by swimmers, sailors and PWCs. He says there is no point trying to protect swimmers with “nanny state” rules for people who will break them anyway.“There’s always the 5 per cent of people who don’t care and who run over people in the water,” he says.

Victorian Jet Sports Boating Association president Tony Scaturchio has had first-hand experience with jet-ski tragedy.

His 22-year-old son, Joseph, was killed in a jet-ski collision at the Australian Watercross National Championships in April.

He says the crash should serve as a warning to those who defy the law.“If everyone obeys the rules, then everything works.”

But he also believes jet-skis are

STEVE LIGHTFOOT

a reduced speed zone within 400-metres of shore, and wants shared zones to be revised.“We need to take it further – we don’t allow pedestrians and cars to use the same roadways.”

ddie Tamir, owner of Elsternwick’s Classic Cinema and the new artistic director of the Jewish International Film Festival, is fond of a challenge.

Having taken the reigns of one of Australia’s longest-running ethnic film festivals in May, it’s been a race to pull JIFF together. He also has a team of builders furiously constructing a new 60-seat theatre out the back of the Classic, on the site of an old Yiddish theatre.

Full of verve,Tamir’s first priority is to broaden JIFF’s audience, appealing to a younger crowd and non-Jewish cinema-goers.

“Israel is going through an incredible purple patch of creativity. Australia is a great example of the beauty of a multicultural society and just how amazing that is. Why would you want everyone to think like you, talk like you, look like you?” says Tamir. (pictured) There’s an almost 50/50 split between JEWISH INTERNATIONAL Israeli films and FILM FESTIVAL those produced by Where: Classic Cinema the diaspora, with 9 Gordon Street, Elsternwick films drawn from 14 When: November 7-25 countries, including 24 Call: 9524 7900 Australian premieres.

Visit: jiff.com.au Tamir wants JIFF to be as fresh as possible, with many offerings having only appeared in their native country to date.

One film that’s sure to raise a few eyebrows is director Yolande Zauberman’s doco Would You Have Sex With an Arab? “It goes into the nightclubs of Tel Aviv, one of the most happening cities in the world, and asks that question of the revellers,”Tamir says.“It has quite surprising answers, and they reverse the question for Arab-Israelis.”

Also courting controversy, director Eytan Fox returns to his much-loved creation in Yossi, picking up the tale of a closeted Israeli soldier ten years on.Tamir also recommends Dead Europe, an adaptation of Christos Tsiolkas’s novel that follows a young Australian’s trip to Greece to return his father’s ashes, uncovering the ghost of the Jewish presence in Europe.

Ami Livne’s beautifully shot Sharqiya reveals a compelling, untold story of a young Bedouin security guard who has to fight ‘‘the man’’ when his makeshift home is threatened by a government demolition order. Tamir’s keen to point out Israel is “not just a place that’s bleak and dark with soldiers running around.’’

The One That Got Away is a Melbourne love story spanning 60 years, while Hava Nagila explores the origins of the ubiquitous celebration song.

lines you have to invent all the rest of the emotions and history of the character,’’ Hakansson says.‘‘Once you get the feeling of the character it’s quite easy because you just behave like him and it works – I guess that’s just acting.’’

Hakansson, who is of Swedish extraction, has appeared in Neighbours and Winners and Losers, but it’s the independent productions that appeal to him.

The same can be said of his music career, choosing to enter Emergenza rather than go down the road of TV talent shows.

Orange is the only under-age band in Emergenza and the musicians are setting their sights on the final in Germany.

Hakansson formed the alt-pop trio last year with two music classmates at St Michael’s Grammar

in St Kilda.‘‘We push the whole three-piece thing to sound as big as we can,’’ he says. ‘‘Acting was my dream and then I found music. I just love performing.’’

Coach basks in grand final glory

BY DANIEL PAPROTH dpaproth@mmpgroup.com.au THE 2012 footy season didn’t end well for Mentone Grammar’s First XVIII but for coach Wayne Reed it was sensational.

Even though his team finished eighth of nine in the Associated Grammar Schools premiership, September was a big month for Reed.

He watched four players he had coached at Xavier College receive premiership medals as Sydney Swans beat Hawthorn by 10 points in a thrilling AFL grand final, while another won the Brownlow Medal.

Swans players Josh Kennedy, Ted Richards, Dan Hannebery (“he should have won the Norm Smith”) and Alex Johnson were all at Xavier when Reed was coaching there in the early 2000s.

“It was amazing,” Reed says. “I get a great sense of pride and it’s been great talking to them and watching how tremendous they’ve become.

“They’re four quality young men and I got to know them well at Xavier. I had a lot to do with Dan during my time as deputy headmaster and he was always going to be a fearless on-baller.

“Ted played in our 2000 premiership side. He took one of the marks of the century in that game.

“Johnson’s poise across halfback right through the game was very good. He’s come on far more quickly than I thought he would.

“Josh always knew how to find the footy even if he wasn’t the quickest player.”

But it wasn’t just grand final day that had Reed beaming with pride.

On the previous Monday, he’d seen another player he coached, Essendon captain Jobe Watson, win the Brownlow Medal.

Some of the talk about Watson’s win centred around a perceived lack of commitment, ability or athleticism early in his career, but Reed says that is a myth.

“Jobe was always fully commit-

SEPTEMBER SUCCESS: The AFL grand final gave footy coach Wayne Reed a huge thrill ted,” Reed says. “His body shape made him relatively slow but he worked really hard on that and in year 12 was in the midfield.

“So all the stuff about his motivation is wrong. At Essendon, he had to go up another level. Because he was never going to have great pace he had to change his body shape to

be able to compete at contests. But he always had great hands and vision and an uncanny ability to find the footy.”

It’s not just football stars Reed has inspired.

“A boy I taught at Xavier, Paul Dumbrell, won the (2012) Bathurst 1000,” he says.

Nine leave in Sandy shake-out

BRIEFS

ARI HATZIS

NINE players out and no new faces yet. That’s the story so far at Sandringham footy club in the off-season shake-up.

Chris Irving and Michael Lourey have been poached by Frankston Dolphins, who finished bottom of the VFL table in 2012.

Tom Stevens (Echuca), Tom Buckley (Beaumaris), Michael Meehan (Old Haileybury), Travis La Rocca (Dingley), Jay Bruno (St Paul’s East Bentleigh) and Brendan Allen and Matthew Bowles have also left.

Allan and Bowles have yet to decide where, or if, they will play in 2013 because of work and injury respectively.

All the departing players except Irving, who made three senior appearances, were in the development team.

Meehan (15 games), La Rocca (15) and Stevens (13) were all handy players for the reserves this year, with Meehan finishing third in the best-and-fairest count.

In better news for the Zebras, four players have re-signed — Sam Maley, who played 16 reserves matches and a senior game against Port Melbourne, Jesse Plostins (12 reserves games), Sam Widdowson (12 reserves games) and Daniel Maitland (two reserves games).

The Zebras finished the home-and-away season in sixth place but lost to Box Hill in an elimination final.

The reserves suffered the same fate.

MATCH REPORT

■ SAINTS ALIVE Old Mentonians have a task ahead of them in the Senior Division of the VTCA, after St Bernard’s Old Collegians won the toss and made 285 from 80 overs. Old Mentonians struggled to split the 161-run partnership between Romain Grenville (94) and Craig Osborne (75).

HAVING A GO: Malvern’s Liam Dunne shapes to hammer a ball from Ormond’s Sathish Prahbakaran

Ormond opens with a win

BY DANIEL PAPROTH dpaproth@mmpgroup.com.au ORMOND scored at almost a run a ball to race to a five-wicket win over Malvern as the rain-hit Sub-District cricket season finally got under way.

After two weekends of washouts the skies finally cleared and Ormond skipper Michael Hansen sent Malvern in to bat. It proved the be a sound decision as Malvern slumped to 4/62 before Liam Dunne (38) and Nick Gill (35) went about resurrecting the innings.

Some late hitting from Tom Knight (40 not out) and Tim Arbon (28) and some poor bowling from Ormond (17 no-balls and six wides) helped Malvern push its final score to 8/196 from its 45 overs. Tom Stait

was the pick of the bowlers, taking 2/25 from nine overs.

Ormond had 47 runs on the board before Michael Williams was stumped for 36, and Hansen’s 59 and Rohan Wright’s 43 built the backbone of Ormond’s run chase.

Corey Jackson (16 not out) and keeper Maqsud Mansoor (18 not out) steered them home.

The batsmen took many of the runs off Knight, who took two wickets but went for 59 runs from eight overs. ● Elsternwick came agonisingly close to scoring a remarkable win against Brighton.

Elsternwick won the toss and elected to bat but had a disastrous day, bowled out for 85. Harrison Nurse and Sam Roney both made 20

but no other batsman was able to pass seven as Brighton’s bowling figures kept neat, Matt Crawley’s 3/19 off 7.2 overs the best.

Few would have guessed Elsternwick would go within one wicket of victory, particularly when Brighton was 1/34. But the wicket of Ryan Sweeney, who made five off 42 balls, triggered a collapse and Brighton lost 8/50.

Richard Pearson was the ninth wicket to fall at 84, and Elsternwick needed just one wicket and Brighton two runs for a win. Sadly for Elsternwick Tim Rose (15 not out) and Andrew Harrod (zero, not out) got the runs required. Dallas Jones (4/23 off nine) and Callum O’Neill (4/32 off nine) did the bulk of the damage for Brighton.

Outclassed Brighton sinks in Moonee Ponds BRIGHTON suffered its first loss of the season in the Victorian lawn bowls Premier Division, going down by 38 shots to competition powerhouse Moonee Ponds.

After starting the season with two wins, Brighton was found wanting against one of the more formidable teams in the game.

Brighton won only one rink for the day, with talented young skipper Aaron Wilson leading his group of

■ HARD TARGET South Caulfield will be chasing a target of 241 when it bats against Spotswood in the Senior Division of the VTCA on Saturday.

Spotswood captain Andrew Dickinson won the toss and elected to bat, and reached 7/240 from its 80 overs, deciding to bat the day out and not send South Caulfield in for a few overs.

four to a 16-15 win. Elsewhere it was a dark day for Brighton, with Lee Schraner (17-25), Geoff Maskell (7-31) and John McCarron (13-20) all losing their rinks.

Coach Rob Huddle said once they fell behind early on it was hard to make up ground.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t catch up,” he said. “Moonee Ponds are a very strong and very experienced side. They will definitely play finals.

‘‘This was a good test for our guys but it just didn’t quite happen on the day.”

Despite the loss, Huddle was full of praise for Wilson, who came to Brighton from Essendon.

“He is one of our top recruits this year and you can talk him up as much as you like, he has a lot of talent and bowled well today,” Huddle said.

“We just need a bit more confid-

ence and self-belief. It’s a long season and this loss won’t be too bad if we pick up and win next week.”

Brighton’s second team had a better day, destroying Toorak in section eight of Division 2. They won all four rinks for a massive 108-54 win.

Mentone suffered its third straight loss in the Premier Division, losing by 11 shots against Altona, despite winning an equal number of rinks.

■ ON THE RUN Beaumaris set Airport West St Christopher’s the mammoth target of 298 in the Senior Division of the VTCA. Airport West won the toss but chose to bowl and Beaumaris in to bat romped away to 7/297 from 75 overs before declaring. Airport West faced five overs and will resume at 1/1 on Saturday.

■ BENTLEIGH MAKES 254 Bentleigh set Yarraville Club a target of 254 in the VTCA Senior Division. Competition heavyweights Yarraville Club won the toss but sent in Bentleigh, which lost eight wickets en route to 253 from 80 overs.

■ BAD BEGINNINGS McKinnon struggled in its first game of the season in the VTCA’s Senior Division, bowled out for 102 from 62.3 overs by Greenvale. The slow pace helped Greenvale, which was always in control with the ball. Jarred Fletcher’s half-century (56 from 139 balls) was the only significant score. Greenvale was 2/49 in reply.

■ MARTYN STEPS IN VAFA Division 1 club Hampton Rovers has appointed former junior player Guy Martyn as senior coach. Martyn joined the club in 2001, played with Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup and Sandringham Zebras in the VFL before returning to the Rovers as a player. Owen Lalor will be his assistant coach.

Outgoing Hampton president Jim Westhead will be replaced by Matthew Gray.
