BRIGHTON Soccer Club players Georgina and Phillippa Huse, Frances O’Brien and Bridget Hanrahan are embarrassed by the state of the facilities at Dendy Park’s dilapidated female club rooms, with up to 40 women sharing two toilets – and no showers. Bayside’s sports pavilions have been described as the worst in the state, with around $63 million needed to rebuild ageing facilities around the municipality. REPORT PAGE 5

MARCH 6, 2013

ayside’s new sports pavilion plan is a very important step in the right direction for the council. There have been years of under-investment in sporting facilities, resulting in us having some of the worst facilities in Melbourne in certain sports.

We are a long way behind neighbouring councils. It is a big problem that many previous Bayside councils seemed to file in the toohard basket. Fortunately the new council appears to understand the issue. I really hope they can deliver.

For Brighton Soccer Club – and Brighton District Cricket Club, which also uses Dendy Park – it is our goal to have a new pavilion by 2015. We hope this can be a multiuse facility so other community organisations can use it on weekdays, when sporting clubs use it less. It is important we use ratepayer funds efficiently.

The Dendy Park facilities are very poor. We are the largest soccer club in Victoria with 75 teams and 1150 members aged six to 60. We have just under 300 female members and yet have no showers for them.

We are very successful at a junior level, but as players get older we lose them to other clubs out of Bayside because of our facilities.

We have very successful coaching infrastructure headed by former Manchester United legend Jesper Olsen. Over the years we have produced players such as Socceroo legend Paul Trimboli and current under-19 Australian women’s team player Maddie Stockdale.

It disappoints me that Bayside children have to travel outside the area to progress. Hopefully this initiative will change things.

I started playing at Brighton about eight years ago after watching my son play. I then started coaching my eldest daughter’s team. About four years ago I became treasurer and then president. It sucks you in!

It’s great to be involved. My three daughters play soccer. My son used

to, but concentrated on AFL and plays for East Brighton Vampires.

I am born and bred in Brighton – Brighton, England, that is! I support Brighton and Hove Albion in the Championship in England and this way I am finally living my dream to play for Brighton.

WHAT I’D CHANGE: The very poor sporting facilities.

Train line death 11th for year

BY TERESA MURPHY tmurphy@mmpgroup.com.au

A man killed by a Frankston line train last week was the 11th death on train lines around the Bayside area in the past year.

The man was hit by the city bound train on February 26 at 8.20am.

Data from police incident fact sheets shows there were 11 deaths in the Southern Metropolitan Division Two region – which includes Bayside, Kingston and Glen Eira – from February 1 last year to February 28 this year.

Ten deaths were classified as suicides and one was an accident. Last week’s incident was the second death this year.

On February 7, a 20-year-old Bentleigh man was killed by a Frankston line train.

The Victorian co-ordinator of Headspace school support, Holly Carpenter, said there were no specific warning signs about suicide but any sudden change in behaviour could point to depression.

Ms Carpenter works with schools that have been impacted by suicide. ‘‘We know when a suicide occurs there is increased risk to other students,’’ she said.

Between 800 and 1000 Metro passengers were evacuated from the Frankston line train after last week’s incident.

Headspace Southern Melbourne is at 319-321 Glenhuntly Rd, Elsternwick.

A MARINE science centre is being mooted for Ricketts Point at the Beaumaris Yacht Club.

The club has formed a small consortium with volunteer group Marine Care Ricketts Point and RMIT to investigate establishing an environmentally sensitive facility that would foster marine science, sailing and associated community interests.

It would be known as the Marine Environment Science and Com-

munity Centre (MESAC). A key focus would be marine research at university student and ‘‘citizen science’’ levels.

Facilities for disabled divers and snorkellers would be an important part of the centre as Ricketts Point marine sanctuary is the most accessible dive spot in Port Phillip Bay for people in wheelchairs.

There are no plans to expand the footprint of the yacht club building but a new design would take into account the threat of sea level rises and other effects of climate change.

It would be energy efficient and suit the natural surroundings of the Beaumaris foreshore.

A marine research centre has long been the dream of Ray Lewis OAM, the immediate past president of Marine Care and now chairman of the MESAC committee. Three years ago he proposed a grander vision to Bayside council, but he is now focused on a much subtler approach he hopes will appeal to all stakeholders. ‘‘This new project will be at a higher level, catering for university

student research, a full-time scientific presence,’’ he said.

Marine Care’s new president, Michael Coleman, hopes MESAC will be up and running within 10 years. ‘‘We know it will take some time – but just look at what has been achieved with the marine sanctuary in the past 10 years,’’ he said.

Bayside council will consider the project as part of its Ricketts Point management strategy, now on exhibition for public feedback. Visit bayside.vic.gov.au.

CHILDREN as young as two are being taught self-defence skills to protect themselves against abduction and bullies.

Dynamight Kids, a group with branches in Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne, teach the Israseli self-defence system known as the Krav Maga in childcare centres.

The program is aimed at solving “real-life situations� such as bullying, rough play, inappropriate touching and abduction.

Students at Goodstart Early Learning Centre in Cochrane Street, Brighton have learnt the selfdefence program for two-and-a-half years.

Centre director Chelcee Karp said the main lesson was to identify “stranger danger�. “Just to know who you should and shouldn’t be talking to walking down the street,� she said.

House patrol worries neighbours

BY BRIDGET FITZGERALD bfitzgerald@mmpgroup.com.au SEVERAL Brighton residents have written to the council to complain about the presence of security guards in the gardens of the historic Billilla House.

The unarmed guards have been employed to patrol the gardens by Yesodei HaTorah College which has leased the historic mansion from Bayside council since the start of the

school year. The all-boys Jewish school uses the Halifax Street property six days a week as a second campus to its main Elwood campus.

The grounds of Billilla House are open to the public and the venue can be hired for private functions.

The federal government provides funding for schools at risk of racial, religious or ethnically motivated violence. The funding usually covers closed circuit television systems, fencing, lighting and alarm systems,

about its security, residents neighbouring the school might also be concerned.

“We’re in the same street – are we in danger?” she said.

Bayside director of corporate services Mick Cummins said he has met with school representatives and reinforced council’s expectations that security at the school will be as unobtrusive as possible.

Yesodei HaTorah College was contacted for comment.

WRITING’S NEW WAVE

■ DOOR-TO-DOOR CLOSES ENERGY Australia will end doorto-door marketing by the end of this month. The marketing is its most complained about sales practice. Energy Australia retail executive manager Adrian Merrick said ‘‘households have made it clear that it’s something they don’t like or want”. The move follows a ‘‘Do Not Knock’’ campaign by the Consumer Action Law Centre that aimed to put a stop to door-to-door salespeople.

Romy Ash, hailed as a talented new voice on the Australian literary scene, will be guest speaker at Sandybeach Centre on Wednesday, March 13, 4.30-5.30pm. Her debut novel, Floundering, was shortlisted in the Vogel literary awards in 2011 and has been longlisted in the inaugural $50,000 Stella Prize for Australian women writers. Cost $10.

but schools often provide private security guards as well.

Halifax Street resident Sharon Killeen said she does not have an issue with the school, but finds the presence of security guards in public gardens “unwelcome”.

“We don’t know what the brief is with security guards,” she said.

“What are they allowed to do?”

Ms Killeen uses the park regularly with her baby and two-year-old.

She said if the school was worried

VOX POP DOES THE COUNCIL SPEND ENOUGH ON SPORTING FACILITIES? PETER LOCCO, Hampton I hope so. There are a few ovals where I live, which is good, but I’m not really playing much sport at my age. But yeah, the more they spend on sport, the better.

CHERYL HUXTABLE, Hampton I think the council spends more money on boys’ sport than on girls’ sport. I’m part of the Hampton Hammers netball club. We play at Thomas Street and the facilities there are just being upgraded. We have struggled to get lights.

BEN SPENCER, Beaumaris Yeah, I’d say so. I know there’s a big development proposed in Beaumaris for the tennis and football clubs, so as far as in my area, I’d say it’s fine at the moment.

Sports pavilion despair TEAGAN GLENANE

BY TERESA MURPHY tmurphy@mmpgroup.com.au

ALMOST $63 million is needed to rebuild Bayside’s ageing sports pavilions, which have been described as the worst in the state.

Representatives from two sports clubs told councillors last month that facilities were antiquated and an embarrassment to the city when visiting teams played at grounds such as Dendy Park in Brighton East.

Brighton Soccer Club president Chris Tait said his club was the biggest soccer club in Victoria yet its facilities at Dendy Park were among the worst in the state. ‘‘Some clubs and referees have refused to play because of the Dendy Park surface,’’ he said. ‘‘We are often criticised by women’s teams as not demonstrating sexual equality due to our lack of women’s showers. When they see the two showers right next to the men’s urinals they understand that all the facilities are equally poor.

It is embarrassing.’’

Brighton District Cricket Club president Anthony Wakeling said

FIX IT: Girls from Brighton Soccer Club inside the dilapidated facilities the antiquated facilities at Dendy Park were discouraging women and children from playing the sport. ‘‘We have up to 40 women sharing two toilets – and no showers,’’ he said. ‘‘The men have to shower in with the urinals. ‘‘It reflects poorly on the municipality. My club encourages improvement of all sports facilities.’’

Mr Tait and Mr Wakeling welcomed Bayside council’s 2013 sports ground pavilion improvement plan, which councillors adopted last month.

The report states that 80 per cent

of the city’s 27 pavilions date from the 1960s and that it would cost $62.5 million to replace them all.

It would cost $4.3 million to replace Dendy Park’s two ageing pavilions used by the soccer and cricket clubs, and build an eightchangeroom soccer/cricket pavilion with storage, canteen, umpires’ room, toilets and community meeting space.

The report gives Dendy Park third priority behind Elsternwick Park No.2 oval ($1.5 million) and Hurlingham Park, Brighton East ($2.65 million).

Councillor Felicity Frederico said Dendy Park had among the worst sports facilities in the state. ‘‘It is our responsibility to provide facilities for both genders,’’ she said. ‘‘We don’t have a choice ... we need a holistic view of all our assets.’’

To view the plan, visit a local library, council corporate offices at 76 Royal Avenue, Sandringham, or bayside.vic.gov.au.

Bayside has 27 sports ground pavilions, mainly used for footy, soccer, cricket and baseball.

BUDDHISTS’ BIG DAY Brighton’s Buddhist community is preparing to throw open its doors to share Tibetan culture. Bayside’s only Buddhism centre, the Tara Institute, will hold an open day at its Landcox house in Brighton East from 10.30am to 4pm on Sunday, March 17. Spiritual program co-ordinator Lozang Lhamo (pictured) said the event was a chance for people to learn about Buddhism and tour the historic Landcox property. Activities and attractions will include a Tibetan market, lunch, face painting and crafts. For details, visit tarainstitute.org.au.

Rates doubt on super shortfall

BY BRIDGET FITZGERALD bfitzgerald@mmpgroup.com.au

BAYSIDE council will have to find $5.3 million this year to top up a now-closed local government superannuation scheme, but it is yet to be seen whether this will affect rates.

The Victorian government set up the compulsory Local Authorities Superannuation Fund 30 years ago to provide for local government and water authority workers in retirement. Although the scheme was closed after a decade, Victorian councils are still paying for remaining members.

There is a fund shortfall of $453 million across the state. It has to be made up by councils and water authorities by July 1 this year.

Bayside has paid more than $10 million in five instalments to supplement scheme shortfalls since

1997. Bayside corporate services director Mick Cummins said the latest instalment meant the council had paid $15.3 million to the fund.

The council will use cash reserves or borrow money to fund the shortfall.

The decision on the payment options will be included in the council’s long-term financial plan and will affect the 2013/14 budget.

Mr Cummins was unable to comment on whether the payment would affect rates.

The fund prescribed benefits based on how long an employee had been a fund member, and on their salary at retirement.

The council’s liability is based on the number of people Bayside employs, and the number of former employees the scheme covers.

Bayside’s liability should continue to decline over the next 20 years.

■ COUNCIL PAY REVIEW A special council committee will hear one submission – by resident Kevin Spencer – on councillor and mayoral allowances on Wednesday (tonight, March 6) at the Brighton council chambers. The council has set the mayoral allowance at the maximum of $69,325 and councillor pay at almost $22,405 per year.

New father told to leave hospital

BY BEAU DONELLY bdonelly@mmpgroup.com.au

A FATHER was forced to leave the state’s busiest maternity hospital within hours of his daughter’s birth because it was outside visiting times.

Nimrod Weis said he had to leave the Royal Women’s Hospital after his first child was born about 5.30am on February 13 and told to return when visiting hours resumed.

Mr Weis, who had been with his

wife since they arrived at the hospital the previous night, was told to leave by two midwives after his wife and baby were transferred from the birthing suite to a single room. He drove home to St Kilda East after 24 hours without sleep.

Mr Weis said he was “disappointed” by the staff. ‘‘I wasn’t in a position to drive and it was irresponsible for the hospital to let me on the road.”

Hospital spokeswoman Sofia Dedes said the hospital considered

overnight stays by partners on a case-by-case basis.

Mercy Hospital for Women does not stop fathers staying with their partners in single rooms and even provides a fold-out bed.

Acting Health Services Commissioner Dr Grant Davies could not provide figures on the number of complaints of a similar nature, but said that each hospital had ‘‘the right to manage their work environment in any way it sees fit’’.

Hospital staff said new fathers

were sometimes prevented from staying with their partners in shared rooms because of operational reasons or cultural sensitivities.

But Mr Weis said he should have been allowed to stay with his wife because she had her own room.

“If the circumstances were different I would understand, but my concern is that I was not prepared,” he said. “There’s a lot of emphasis on the importance of the father being there and taking his role seriously ... the hospital isn’t catering for that.’’

DRUMMING UP SUPPORT Flute ensemble Fuefukuro (pictured) will bring a feast of Japanese culture and music to St Kilda next week at a concert to help Japanese students affected by the 2011 tsunami. March 11 marks two years since the environmental disaster hit eastern Japan, where many people are still unable to return to their homes. The concert and silent auction will help support a visit to Melbourne by 12 students from Fukushima later this month. The students will learn about environmental issues and enjoy a break from living with the threat of radioactivity. The concert will include Adam Ueda Soko Chanoyu performing a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The fund-raiser is at Wabi Sabi Garden, 17 Wellington Street, St Kilda from 4pm-7pm.

Verdict on Como House future still months away

BY EDDIE MORTON emorton@mmpgroup.com.au

THE National Trust and the Como House board are months from making a decision on the future of the heritage-listed site.

National Trust Victoria chief executive Martin Purslow claimed late last year that Como House had been losing up to $250,000 a year, and 8 BAYSIDE REVIEW LOCAL

MARCH 6, 2013

$1 million was needed for urgent repairs.

But residents’ patience is waning as the house remains closed for dayto-day visits.

Toorak resident Lynette Stewart slammed the board and the National Trust for “mismanagement”. She called on the National Trust to liaise with locals and the Stonnington council planning department.

Mr Purslow said a solution to the house’s sustainability and financial problems could be reached in the next three months.

“We are becoming much clearer about the options available in securing the house’s future,” Mr Purslow said.

“We are well aware of the community’s values and we will make any decision public in due course.”

The house’s survival could depend on amendments to its planning constraints.

Talks with Stonnington council over planning constraints are yet to start.

Mr Purslow said that in the meantime, Como would focus on hosting major public events including being involved in this year’s Open House Melbourne two-day event.

FOR 28 years, Prahran Market’s Mushroom Man, Damien Pike, has woken up at 2am four times a week to go to the Footscray wholesale market.

But the state government’s plan to move the wholesale market to a new $600 million Epping facility in 2014-15 threatens to rob Mr Pike of the few hours of sleep he has left.

“The move will blow out transport times and costs by an additional 45 kilometres each way,” Mr Pike said. “I will have to wake up at least an hour-and-ahalf earlier when the market shifts.” He said a bag of mushrooms would cost at least 20 cents more. “That equals more that $1 per kilo, and $4 per box. And they are very conservative estimates,” Mr Pike said. “We hope the wholesale prices will stay the same, but it is not looking good for us here at the local markets.”

According to wholesaler representative body Fresh State, rental at the Epping site could rise to $487 a square metre a year. A 193 square metre store at the new site would cost $94,000 a year compared with an “A” store (153 square metres) that costs $42,000 at Footscray.

Fresh State chief executive John Roach said the forced move would affect any industry that used fresh fruit and vegetables.

“Everybody’s costs will increase through no fault of their own. Just because of a government decision, which goes blatantly against what everybody is trying to achieve, which is competitive costing and satisfied customers.’’ He said Mr Pike’s price predictions were “very conservative’’.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT Not only do my neighbours and I have an ugly development next door, the landscaping (screening trees) was not completed before the owner/developers occupied the units last May (‘‘Boom times in Bayside’’, RL, February 20). Bayside council has been extremely slack in enforcing this and I fear we’ll be stuck with watching their huge TVs and seeing their chests/heads bobbing up and down on their decking forever – all within metres of our homes.

Jenny Sharp / Hampton ■ NOT SPORTING There should not be any further clearance of shrubbery for the benefit of sporting interests (‘‘Park upgrade plan divides groups’’, RL, February 20). The photo on page 7 of RL underscores the point that there is already insufficient low growth in our parks. Any casual observation of bird life in Cheltenham, although it appears to be abundant, will reveal that there is

A very good innings Australia’s second-oldest cricket club celebrates its 170th season. By DANIEL PAPROTH

I

t’s December 5, 1950. Australia has just smashed England in the first of five Ashes Tests over the Australian summer. Jack Iverson is the man of the hour after taking four wickets on debut, including the last two, to wrap up the match.

Iverson would go on to play all five matches and take 21 wickets at the remarkable average of 15.23 as Australia wins the series 4-1.

That should have been the start of an illustrious career for the man who had come to be known as the “mystery spinner”. But family circumstances and work

MARCH 6, 2013

commitments meant Iverson never again played officially for Australia.

He did return to Brighton, though, where his career as a spin bowler had taken off in 1946.

Iverson’s story is not typical.

He had played cricket for Geelong College until he left in 1933. In his Geelong days he was a paceman, but during army service in New Guinea he developed a unique method of spinning the ball, which he gripped between thumb and middle finger. He was drafted into Brighton’s Third XI and on his first day of cricket in 12 years he

captured 15 wickets for 25 runs.

He had a wide range of deliveries, including off breaks, leg breaks and googlies, all of which were impossible for batsmen to detect.

Iverson is one of many players being remembered by Brighton Cricket Club during its 170th season. The gala lunches, guest speakers and special dinners have allowed players, staff, family, friends and officials, past and present, to immerse themselves in the rich history of Australia’s second-oldest cricket club.

Cricket came to Brighton in the

summer of 1842. Local landowners Henry Dendy and Jonathan Were invited the Melbourne team – established four years earlier, and until 1842 the only cricket club in Australia – to play on their land against a team made up of the best local cricketers Dendy and Were could assemble.

On November 26, Melbourne arrived by boat and were beaten by Brighton on first innings, 106 runs to 78. Brighton would dominate play between the two sides for the next five years.

It is one of the more auspicious beginnings among Australia’s cricket clubs, and former Test and Brighton batsman Colin McDonald is one of the club’s members feasting on reminiscence. Now 84, McDonald opened the batting for Australia at a time when fast bowlers bayed for blood and helmets were an oddity.

He got to know Iverson quite well. They played together for Victoria and McDonald has no hesitation in labelling him “the second-best spin bowler I ever saw” – after Shane Warne.

LOCAL FEATURE

could handle him. When he bowled in the nets he didn’t bowl to good batsmen because he liked to get players out every time he bowled, which he was almost doing in subdistrict and district cricket.”

Tragically, Iverson – whose bowling average is the 10th best in Test history – developed atherosclerosis of the brain in his early 50s. It led to crippling depression and he killed himself at the age of 58.

“I was never a close friend but we did play together and it was certainly a shock when he committed suicide.Everyone was quite upset,” McDonald recalls.

McDonald joined Brighton for some time in the 1960s, when he returned from working in England after his Test career with Australia ended in 1961.

Bill Easton, then president of Brighton, had been in McDonald’s ear for a long time before that, however. The two knew each other through McDonald’s insurance-broking business. “He’d been on to me for years,” says McDonald. “He used to say ‘When you stop playing first-class cricket come and have a game with us’. A lot of people thought I got paid to play at Brighton but I didn’t. I did it because I wanted to play cricket.”

However, there was a

for actions during the Battle of Messines in 1917.The Digest of Citation reads,‘‘Captain Grieve set a splendid example’’, and lauds his bravery and level-headedness.

A section in club retrospective Cricket at Brighton since 1842 says:‘‘He single-handedly broke the enemy line by bowling a grenade into a narrow opening. It was said that his left-arm bowling on turf was just as accurate.’’

And indeed, his record speaks for itself. Grieve played with the club before and after the Great War and finished his career with 525 wickets at an average of 12.

The back-to-back premiership teams in which Grieve played in 1925-26 and 1926-27 are considered to be among the greatest the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association ever produced.

They played a total of 24 matches, winning 20 of them.The grand final they won in April 1926 is among the most lopsided in the association’s history – Brighton scored 469 in its only innings as it thrashed Camberwell by an innings and 279 runs.

Grieve, Iverson and McDonald played in two of the club’s most successful eras but after the 196263 premiership – in which Iverson played – the club would not win another flag until 1989-90.

In the 1992-93 season, to mark the club’s 150th anniversary,

members of the Melbourne Cricket Club arrived at Brighton by boat, just as they had 150 years earlier.

Echoing the result, Brighton won two matches staged on the day – one, a re-enactment match featuring past players by nine runs; the other, a more serious first XI match, by 10 runs.

Last month, members of the Brighton Cricket Club, including its current first XI, gathered to pay homage to one of the club’s oldest surviving photos, from the season of 1891-92.

That 19th century team – which included the aforementioned Thurgood – won the Brighton Southern Cross Cup. The club still has the silverware won that day.

Brighton hopes that triumph can be repeated 121 years later. The first XI is in the top six with finals just a week away. A premiership, which would be the team’s 12th, would be the perfect way to cap off the club’s 170th season, one of retrospection.

In an era when sporting clubs focus firmly on the future, Brighton grows prouder of its past every day.

“He was certainly the best spin bowler who had ever bowled a cricket ball at that stage,” McDonald says. “If he had gone to England in 1953 he would have been a complete sensation. He had a beautiful action; it was equally as graceful as Warne’s. He had a perfect command of length and knew precisely where the ball was going to land.

“I remember the first time he ever played for Victoria, in games against Western and South Australia. In two matches he took 20 wickets – and he thought he was a failure! No one

condition.“I said I’d do it on one provision – that I didn’t have to practise,” laughs McDonald. “Bill was happy with that, and the club was happy, so I turned up on Saturdays and was just playing for fun. I made a few runs, not overly many, but I enjoyed it.”

McDonald says the subdistrict cricket of the day was of a “perfectly high standard”, but of course, inevitably, there were differences between it and first-class cricket. He recalls two examples: one while playing at Williamstown, the other at Brighton.

“One year we were playing in a semi-final at Williamstown,” he says, “and the only thing between their ground and Port Phillip Bay was a fence. I was fielding down at third man and the ball came down to me, so I moved in to field it.

“But as I did, it disappeared.

There was a cover over a drain and there was just enough room for the ball to slip down and from there the ball went out to the bay and I started laughing.

“The captain, Lou Carter, was yelling out, ‘Throw the ball in!’. ‘I can’t!’ I said. I was laughing. By this stage the

batsmen had run three or four and Carter called out ‘lost ball!’ It was the only way to stop them running.

“Another time at Brighton, while I was batting, I happened to notice a railway employee chasing a guy down South Road. So I dropped my bat and with my pads on ran over to the fence with Bill Gillard, a teammate who ended up becoming a judge, and the two of us plus the employee made a citizen’s arrest. Once I saw Bill and the employee had it under control I went back and resumed batting.

“There was always something happening at Brighton. I played a lot of senior cricket before going there but never had we lost the ball or arrested someone.”

McDonald is just one in an impressive array of names that played for the club. There was Australian rules’ first superstar Albert Thurgood, a 16-year-old Shane Warne, former Danish national Ole Mortensen, another nine players who either played or would go on to play Test cricket for Australia and a long list of subdistrict superstars.

One was Robert Grieve, fondly remembered at Brighton for his prowess on the field and respected as a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest honour bestowed on members of armed forces of the Commonwealth for bravery.

OVER THE FENCE

We met at the Mayrose Christmas Party, which is held every year in our neighbourhood in Mayrose Crescent.

Our neighbourhood is very social and community-minded.

Isabelle and I clicked straight away, especially since we have daughters the same age and we both share a German background, a passion for travelling, food and the environment.

From there we became good friends, with the kids having weekly tennis lessons together and us watching over a glass of wine.

When St Joan of Arc, the school Isabelle’s kids attend, decided to implement sustainability initiatives, Isabelle asked me if I could help.

Since my passion and career is sustainability, I was more than happy to get involved.

St Joan of Arc now has great sustainable initiatives. It also gave me the idea to talk to my daughter’s school, Brighton Beach Primary, and do a presentation on sustainability for the children there.

ISABELLE My family moved to Mayrose Crescent in 1986 when I was

young. In the past 10 years I have seen a big change with many new families with kids moving in.

It has completely reinvigorated the neighbourhood, especially since so many of us and our kids are such good friends.

This is a neighbourhood where you can pop into neighbours, ask a favour or have a great night out.

In fact, I even work with Nadya.

She and I have so many similar interests that we got along instantly when we met.

We both lived overseas for many years and both love everything to do with travel.

Our kids have also become really good friends and get together as often as possible.

I am very active in our school, St Joan of Arc, so when the sustainability project started I thought straight away of asking Nadya for help.

St Joan of Arc now is very sustainability focused, with a vegie garden, a recycling program and weekly nude food promotions.

BREATHING EASY Psychologist ANT WILLIAMS immersed himself in an underwater challenge and discovered the value of holding his breath

F

reediver Ant Williams has had a few scares while holding his breath deep under water.

Once a large tiger shark kept circling him off the coast of Hawaii when he was 30 feet (more than nine metres) deep. Another time he got caught at the bottom of a pitch-black lake in Auckland.

Williams, a psychologist who can hold his breath for more than eight minutes, said the experiences have taught him how to deal with challenges out of the water.

“If you panic that’s when you get into trouble. Those who do well are mentally tough,” says Williams.

“Freediving teaches you real life lessons, how to deal with those moments that really challenge you and how to deal with anxiety that comes before those moments.”

Williams relies on these gems to stay “grounded and calm” as the associate director of Melbourne

performance consultancy Maximus International, which opened in Melbourne last month. The opening brought him to Melbourne from Sydney, where he had worked with the company for four years.

Auckland-bred Williams spent almost a decade working with elite sportsmen and two years with the motorcycle grand prix. He was 30 when he decided to try a dangerous sport himself.

“I was teaching the incredible athletes to do their sport better, and I felt like a bit of a fraud. So I started freediving,” he says.

He was ranked world number three for five years in a row from 2004 for distance swum in one breath and last year achieved a personal best of 100 metres at the Freediving World Championship, putting him in the world top 10.

Williams, a keynote speaker, uses his experiences to inspire others.

Before a challenge, he uses “the body-to-mind approach”.

“Although you are tense, slow down your breathing, correct your posture, relax your shoulders,” he says.“Then the body sends signals back to the brain that you are relaxed.”

Serious stuff, but it’s the only way to get past merci beaucoup.The teacher, Elise, speaks only French during our first class but I can keep up, thanks to her expressive gestures.

R

oss Wilson, frontman for classic Aussie rock groups Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock, grew up in Hampton and in 1966 he played one of his first shows at the Oakleigh RSL Club, known

then as the Onion Patch.The Red Onion Jazz Band was the house band at the club and would later go on to form one of Australia’s most successful post-British Invasion bands,The Loved Ones. It was

a fertile time for Australian rock music and a lot of it came from the suburbs of Melbourne.

Almost 50 years later, Ross Wilson returns to the same venue for the third annual Carnival of Suburbia festival.The Onion Patch is now the Caravan Music Club, but the philosophy of providing quality Australian music in the suburbs lives on through the vision of owner Peter Foley, who is also the organiser of Carnival of Suburbia.

The 11-day festival has more than nostalgia. International artists on the bill include Tony Joe White and Abigail Washburn & Kai Welch.

Rebecca Barnard, The Orbweavers and Graveyard Train represent Melbourne.

It’s not just straight-up gigs on the bill, either. One-off shows include Stopping All Stations (except East Richmond) presented

by RRR regular Jon von Goes and featuring a line-up of Aussie rock greats singing stories from

the suburbs. Another show pays tribute to Peter Lillie, a little-known Melbourne songwriter who died last September. ‘‘Along with Greg Macainsh [Skyhooks], Lillie was one of the great suburban songwriters,’’ Foley says.‘‘He’s highly thought of and loved among musicians but is pretty unknown among the general music-loving public. It’s a really special show with the whole RocKwiz orchestra, Lisa Miller and heaps of Melbourne bands.’’

Perhaps the oddest pairing to hit a stage for some time is John Paul Young and The Church’s Steve Kilbey, who play two washed-up rockers living in a caravan park in the musical comedy Van Park.

The inner-north and CBD might hog most of Melbourne’s live music scene these days but Foley says live music is doing well south of the Yarra for a mature-aged audience. ‘‘People tend to deride the suburbs and run to the coast or the country for festivals, but why not make something happen where you are?’’ he says.

MARCH 6, 2013

MARILYN WARREN As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, the Honourable Marilyn Warren AC, QC, is a study in firsts – the first female Chief Justice of any state or territory in Australia and the first female articled clerk in public service in Victoria. Her achievements are numerous, among them being Lieutenant Governor of Victoria and chairwoman of the Judicial College of Victoria. In December she spoke out ins support of the legal aid system, arguing that the right to a fair trial was in jeopardy because of increaseing demand and insufficient funding.

Why she’s influential: She didn’t just break through the glass ceiling, she smashed it.

JULIA GILLARD Whether you’re a fan or not, Julia Gillard’s mantle as one of the most powerful women in Australia is irrefutable. Australia’s first female prime minister has weathered more storms in her first term than any other PM in recent memory.

Her unmarried and childless status has made her a target for those who want to paint her as uncaring or unable to understand family life. But she has managed to do what Kevin Rudd couldn’t – successfully push through reforms on the mining and carbon taxes and introduce a national disability insurance scheme that will improve the quality of life for

hundreds of thousands of people.

Why she’s influential: For getting on with the job while those around her try to tear her down.

LESLIE CANNOLD Born and raised in the US, Leslie Cannold is recognised as one of Australia’s leading thinkers, feminists and ethicists. A vocal supporter of the pro-choice movement, Cannold offers considered, thought-provoking insights into seemingly complicated issues and has won applause for her work on gender discrimination and challenging the work/life balance.

In 2011, Cannold was named the Australian Humanist of the Year, and continues her work to fight for women’s right to control their own bodies.

Why she’s influential: For providing smart, considered ideas about society.

ANN PEACOCK Born into influence, the daughter of former Liberal leader Andrew Peacock and socialite Lady Susan Renouf, has become a leader of Melbourne’s society set in her own right. As manager of public relations at Crown Casino, Peacock has a little black address booked filled with the names and numbers

SIMON SCHLUTER

ustralian women have made huge strides since an International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910 came up with the idea of a day to honour the achievements of women around the world and recognise the struggle for equality. Australia has a female prime minister, a female governorgeneral, a female attorney-general and a smattering of women on the boards of our largest companies.

But on the eve of the 2013 International Women’s Day, on March 8, it’s clear the battle for equality between the sexes is far from won.

According to the latest figures Australian women earned 17 per cent less than men in 2012 and just 10 per cent of managerial positions and about 25 per cent of new board positions were held by women. Seven out of 10 federal and state parliamentarians are men – a ratio that hasn’t changed in 10 years. Men receive twice the number of awards and nominations than women for an Order of Australia, and female chief executives in the top 200 ASX listed companies remain below 5 per cent. What those statistics don’t show, however, is that Melbourne is teeming with fabulous, accomplished women, achieving great things in fields as diverse as arts, politics, fashion and social justice. Here are some of our city’s most inspiring examples.

the Windsor Hotel scandal and underworld crime stories. Before joining the rejuvenated 7.30, Taylor held other senior ABC positions including state political reporter for ABC TV, working on AM, PM and The World Today, and as associate producer on Insiders.

Why she’s influential: Proving that female reporters can cover stories that don’t involve fluffy animals or celebrities.

SAMAH HADID At just 26, Samah Hadid has lived a full life, much of it spent helping the world’s most disadvantaged and misunderstood people. Samah speaks out on Muslim stereotypes, publicly supports gay rights and advocates for women’s rights.

ARI HATZIS

Star athlete’s career goes leaps and bounds

BY DANIEL PAPROTH dpaproth@mmpgroup.com.au

NO ONE at Brighton Little Athletics was surprised when Andrew McGrath qualified for the State Track and Field Championships to be held at Bendigo this month.

Andrew, 14, qualified for the state championships after winning four gold medals at the South Metro Regional Track and Field Championships on February 23-24.

No mean feat either – the South Metro Region is the largest of Little Athletics Victoria, with 16 centres and nearly 5000 members.

It was not a bad weekend for Brighton. The club had 52 athletes contesting 144 events and won 31 medals – four of them Andrew’s gold. He won high jump, 100m hurdles, 300m hurdles and 800m sprint. ‘‘He is one of the stars,’’ said club president Debbie McCann. ‘‘He is a great motivator as well, the younger athletes really look up

to him and hold him in high esteem.

He had an extremely strong weekend at regional events but he is quite modest. He is doing this because he loves it.’’

Andrew, who lives in Brighton – ‘‘it’s really close to the track, about a kilometre, so I can walk down’’ – was born in Toronto and moved to Australia at the age of five when his father found work here.

He joined the Brighton club in the under sevens and hasn’t looked back. ‘‘I enjoy it all – the competing, all the training throughout the year three or four times a week.’’

His specialties are high jump and hurdles, so his career highlight came in Sydney a year ago when he won both events for his age group. ‘‘All the hard work paid off,’’ he says. ‘‘I can’t really pick a favourite between the two events.’’

His mother Sandy says it is a privilege to watch her son go from strength to strength. ‘‘We are thrilled watching him,’’ she says, pointing out he showed an

interest from an early age. ‘‘He used to be the five-year-old kid who would run around the track smiling the whole way, no matter how long the race was. ‘‘And he has just kept with it every year and every year got a little bit better.’’

Andrew will now focus his energies on the state championships, after his four gold medals earned him automatic qualification in those events.

His success also has him vying for selection as one of the four under 15 athletes to represent Victoria at the Australian Multi-Event Championships in Canberra on April 28.

MATCH REPORT

BRIEFS

Saints stick to game plan ARI HATZIS

BY DANIEL PAPROTH dpaproth@mmpgroup.com.au

A CRACKING century from Ringwood opener Nathan Walsh was not enough to strike fear into the heart of St Kilda at the Junction Oval on Saturday.

Ringwood, secure in the top four with only one day of the regular season remaining, reached 9/271 but on a pristine batting deck it may not be enough.

Several 300-plus scores have been made at the Junction this season – St Kilda the best with 5/407 against Camberwell Magpies.

On Saturday, the Saints needed to bounce back from an embarrassing outright loss to Geelong the week before and got off to a solid start to have Ringwood 2/12 and then 4/77.

They had dangerous opener David King out for 1 and Tom Stray (3), Ian Holland (11) and Joseph Loorham (26) all back in the shed cheaply.

When skipper Ben Osborne fell the score was teetering at 5/124.

Enter Brendan Walsh, who, alongside his brother Nathan, put on 128 runs for the sixth wicket. Nathan was the more attacking of the pair, regularly dispatching balls to the boundary as Brendan played the defensive role at the other end.

He was finally out caught behind off leggie James Muirhead after a 119-ball innings. Nathan followed shortly after, stumped by 250-game

■ WINNING WAYS Brighton Soccer Club won three events in the girls small-sided tournament run by Melbourne Victory. The under-10, under-14 and under-16 teams all won their categories. The club is recruiting goalkeepers for its under-16 girls team, open women division three team and the senior men’s team.

Details: brightonsc.org.au.

■ SINCLAIR RETURNS Former Black Rock player John Sinclair will return to the SFL division three club to coach the reserves in 2013. Sinclair played 180 matches for Black Rock between 1999 and 2012 after playing junior and senior football with Frankston YCW and Karingal. It will be Sinclair’s first coaching role.

GAME CHANGER: St Kilda’s James Muirhead comes in to bowl veteran Damon Rowan for 131.

Muirhead toiled for 35 overs and finished with four wickets. They came for 110 runs but Muirhead looked the most dangerous of the bowlers, inciting several shouts that were turned down.

Once the Walsh brothers fell Ringwood lost 4/19 to lift St Kilda’s spirits. Ringwood should bat on this

weekend but save for a big lastwicket partnership it will be a target within reach for the Saints.

“Par score at the Junction is 300 so we think we are well on track to get a victory,” said Muirhead after the day’s play.

“The Walsh brothers put on a magnificent performance but as soon as we got one of them they had

a bit of a collapse. The key was to get one of them out and then get another as soon as possible.”

Muirhead said he was pleased with his marathon effort.

“Considering I’ve been feeling a little off lately I thought they came out 100 per cent,” he said. “It was good to get a fair few overs under my belt.”

Ormond into the finals ORMOND will play finals for the first time in two decades after chasing down Brighton in the final round of the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association.

Set a target of 226 for victory in a one-dayer, Ormond won with two overs to spare.

After losing Rohan Wight early for 14, skipper Michael Hansen and Sean Clark put on 131 for the second wicket to set up the win, both scoring 75 in quick time.

Hansen was the first to fall but Clark had enough partners to get the win in sight when he was stumped with the score at 5/208. Tom Strait (9) and Russell Oaten (4) celebrated the winning runs

■ COACHES WANTED Moorabbin Rams are looking for junior coaches and managers for the 2013 season. Applicants must have a current working with children check, Smart Rugby qualification and a level two first aid certificate. Details: moorabbinrams.com.

In other matches, Elsternwick’s 7/157 was enough for a win against Altona and the Wicks will play finals.

Batting first, several Elsternwick batsmen got starts but none were able to push on.

Caulfield continued to hit peak form at the right time of the season with a 35-run win over top-two side Werribee. Sent in to bat Caulfield made 5/234 with opener Peter Cross (111) getting his first ton of the season. Ben Shipperd (87) also ensured a big total for the reigning premiers.

Moorabbin lost to Kingston Saints by five wickets. Batting first Moorabbin scored 181, but the Saints passed the total in the 43rd over.

Pitchers control Sandringham fate A MELBOURNE home run and a costly error saw Sandringham lose 5-1 in a tight, fast game in division one of the Baseball Victorian Summer League on Saturday.

In a match that played for less than two hours both pitchers, Andy Mann for Melbourne and Mitch Hodge for Sandringham, threw superbly recording several strikeouts and giving up few hits.

Pitchers dominated the first half until Melbourne broke the tie with a home run. A Sandringham error in the sixth inning gave Melbourne another couple of runs which it turned into a matchwinning lead.

Jake Wonnacott got three hits for Sandringham.

Sandringham will miss finals but with only one game to go, president Greg Street said it had been a positive season for the club, which was promoted from division two last season.

“We didn’t make finals but the whole premise was to get back in division one and consolidate ourselves and we’ve done that,” he said.

“We’ve won 13 games, which is really good, our goal was to win 10. We’ve been very competitive in most games in a very strong competition. ‘‘We decided ... to go with our young guys, and we’re really pleased with the way that’s worked out. .”

■ SET UP FOR A WIN St Kilda’s second XI is wellplaced against Ringwood after posting 9/315 on day one.

Wicketkeeper Tom Morris fell nine runs short of a century while captain Chris Blake scored 76 at first drop.

■ IN THE CHASE St Kilda’s third XI will need to chase at least 227 for victory against Ringwood. The Saints sent Ringwood into bat and could only take seven wickets as Ringwood dug in. Erishmiilan Uthayakumar took 3/40 from 19 overs.

■ FINALS FOR BEAUMARIS Beaumaris secured a finals spot with a win over McKinnon in the VTCA. Chasing 157 Beaumaris was bowled out for 214 from 69.2 overs, giving it first innings points. McKinnon was 4/146 from 29 overs in it’s second innings at stumps.

■ BITTERSWEET ENDING South Caulfield chased down top-two side Old Mentonian’s total to secure first innings points in the VTCA. However, South Caulfield will miss the finals after it was docked points by the association for an administration issue.
