yber bullying is a major issue affecting many high school students. We have experienced many incidents at our school relating to cyber bullying, or those who have been victims of bullying at other schools and subsequently been disengaged.

We provide years eight to 12 and place-based programs at the public housing estates.

We have seen, particularly last year, a high rate of cyber bullying around the year nine level. We fear cyber bullying is occurring in younger and younger year levels.

Often students approach staff to tell of bullying on Facebook or other websites. When we approach the person accused, they often say it was a case of someone else using their account. So holding people accountable is our biggest hurdle.

It is a huge issue because cyber bullying is faceless and often those being bullied do not come forward.

We have policies stopping students from engaging in social media during class time in an effort to lower the number of bullying incidents. Unfortunately,most cases occur outside school hours and are beyond our control.

PCLC has employed a full-time psychologist to help counsel students. Parents and guardians should monitor their child’s actions on the internet and social media.

Cyber bullying is a silent process and can have disastrous consequences.

The majority of kids who attend PCLC have a history of disengagement. We do not take children who are already enrolled in another institution. Many of the children suffer bullying at other

schools and leave the system.

Others suffer from early childhood trauma, and family breakdown is another common issue.

There are community learning centres in all municipalities and all of them provide vital support for people of all ages.

Boroondara has more than 10 Neighbourhood and Community Learning Centres.

There are also students in our

programs who have substance abuse issues and just to get to the classroom is a milestone – so daily support is needed.

We collaborate with welfare and counselling services and also help homeless children find homes.

Every ounce of generosity, funds or services helps a young person achieve a year 12 or equivalent.

Education is the most important tool to guarantee a child’s future.

Statewide teachers’ strike to affect ‘large numbers’ of schools STUDENTS at Boroondara’s 21 government primary and six secondary schools face locked doors and cancelled classes this Thursday as teachers launch a statewide strike in protest at the state government’s refusal to grant a 4.2 per cent annual pay rise.

Late on Friday the Australian Education Union said it was unclear

how many schools would be affected, but president Meredith Peace told RL she expected “large numbers either to be closed or have significantly reduced programs”.

Schools contacted by RL said they had asked teachers to let them know by Monday if they intended to join the action so that the schools could notify parents.

Solway Primary principal Julie Wilkinson said she expected most of her staff would strike, but that parents who could not make care arrangements for their students should bring them to school. ‘‘I’ll be here; I just feel I have a moral responsibility to be in the school,” Ms Wilkinson said.

She said most Solway parents

sympathised with the teachers and she expected few problems.

“I have great staff, they work very hard and are very committed, and they don’t take this action lightly,” she said.

Ms Wilkinson said her teachers had been flexible in accommodating extra-curricular activities, and had agreed to attend a

grade 5-6 camp next month.

Chatham Primary’s principal Stephen Rothwell attended a camp last week with teachers. A Chatham Primary spokeswoman said the school fete on March 2 would go ahead.

Camberwell Primary’s French fete on March 17 will also proceed.

Fewer historians but history’s a hot topic abarclay@mmproup.com.au

DON Gibb and Stuart Warmington belong to an increasingly rare species – they are two of only a few hundred Australians whose chief jobs are being historians.

To make them even more prized, they have a best-selling book.

Visions of a Village, the duo’s homage to Maling Road, Canterbury, was first printed 1995 and is into its second edition, testament to the exquisite Victorian street’s attractions.

In figures released recently by the Australian Bureau of Statistics from the 2011 census, the number historians dwindled to 528 from 559 in 2006. Other cultural occupations gained ground, with graphic designers surging to 25,515 from just above 22,000 and photographers numbering 9549, up from 7542.

Mr Gibb didn’t need a photographer – he had Mr Warmington, who at 90, still works as an artist focusing on historical subjects.

“I had a long-term interest in what

local history can do in terms of involving the community, in terms of enlightening people, and hopefully in writing something of interest,” says Mr Gibb, who began his career as a high-school history teacher before being snapped up by what is now Deakin University.

Mr Gibb cites Australian war history as the current hot topic among young historians.

The census figures have bemused Professor Geoffrey Blainey, who made his name with A History of Camberwell in 1964.

“My impression is that, nationwide, history has lost popularity in schools and certainly in universities in the last 25 years,” Professor Blainey told RL. “On the other hand, the general public is more interested in Australian history than ever before. They learn a lot of their history through TV and radio. And far, far, more history books will be written in Australia this year than in any year of the 20th century. Most are selfpublished but they reflect a genuine interest in Australian history.”

Kooyong fight over big issues

BY ALISON BARCLAY abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

THE contest for Kooyong will be fought on the Australia-wide issues of climate change, health care and transport, Boroondara Greens convener Jenny Henty says.

Speaking ahead of the Greens’ opening of pre-selections for the 2013 election, Ms Henty said Boroondara voters were likely to seek reform on national rather than local concerns at the federal poll.

“I think we should take a leaf from the book of our Greens House of Representatives member, Adam Bandt, who is looking at issues affecting all Australians, particularly those relating to climate change, Denticare and the Very Fast Train – these are issues people are really hoping they will get some leadership on,” Ms Henty said.

In 2010, the Greens won 18.48

per cent of the primary vote in Kooyong, which is held by the Liberals’ Josh Frydenberg with a margin of 7.55 per cent.

Mr Frydenberg said he was “as keen as mustard” to stand for a second term, and cited aged care, living costs and reducing the overall tax burden as his chief concerns.

“This election will focus on education and health funding, including the cuts to the private health insurance rebate, because that is a big issue,” Mr Frydenberg said. “At a local level, environmental projects and law and order are the important concerns, as is infrastructure.”

ALP assistant state secretary Stephen Donnelly did not respond to RL’s questions before deadline.

But RL understands the Victorian ALP is drawing a timetable for preselections in Liberal-held seats and has chosen candidates for Aston and Dunkley, with 12 more – including

Working towards where the wild things are

BY LISA HIGGINSON WAKING up to the shrill cacophany of high-pitched parrots could be some people’s idea of a nightmare, but for Dana Barry and her sons it is the stuff of dreams.

The Glen Iris family is hoping to transform their garden into a haven for native wildlife, with a little help from Boroondara council’s Backyard Biodiversity project.

The initiative, which has been running since 2010, aims to provide knowledge and skills to residents wishing to create a nature-friendly garden.

Ms Barry, who lives close to Gardiners Creek, plans to create a native garden at her home during the next year. And her sons Jackson, eight, and Angus, seven, already have big plans for a frog bog. ‘‘We are looking to put lots of native plants in to attract wildlife and

do whatever we can to return the environment to what it was.’’ ‘‘At the moment we have an English cottage garden, but it’s just not sustainable. We want to find out what we need to do to attract the right wildlife.’’

The autumn project, which begins on March 20, is recruiting households in southern Boroondara, especially those located near Gardiners and Back creeks; Nettleton, Ferndale and Summerhill parks and around local walkways.

All participants will receive 20 free plants and landscape assistance.

Coppin a test case for river homes

BY ALISON BARCLAY abarclay@mmpgroup.com.au

THE new owners of a Hawthorn property will go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Council next month in what is likely to be a test case for residential development on the Yarra’s lower banks.

And the property’s neighbours are angry that, thanks to a legal loophole, they were not given the

chance to comment before the plan went before council.

The battle over 12 Coppin Grove made headlines in October when Planning Minister Matthew Guy effectively blocked the proposal with his new ‘‘river corridors’’ clause, which restricts new buildings to nine metres high in Boroondara.

His move caused the suspension of a hearing already in progress at

VCAT. The property’s then owner, Peter O’Brien, had sought to build three four-storey townhouses on his riverside estate, which contains the Victorian mansion Yarroma.

Mr O’Brien has since subdivided and sold part of his land, with the new owners commissioning awardwinning Prahran architect Rob Mills to design two dwellings of three storeys each.

At their urban planning meeting

last week, the nine councillors present voted unanimously against the permit application on nine grounds, including visual bulk, detrimental effect on the Victorian-era neighbourhood and the unsuitability of the steep land for canopy trees that would screen the houses from the river.

Yarra Riverkeepers Association spokesman Ian Penrose told council the Hawthorn reach of the river was

“a stand-out feature of the whole Yarra system”.

He said the development would be an “ugly scar” that would “set a terrible, regrettable precedent for all that might happen in neighbouring properties”. “This is a critical test case for the planning system.’’

RL was unable to contact the site’s new owner.

The VCAT hearing will resume on March 4 for a further eight days.

Garden fence deal blooms A GLEN Iris man who built his garden fence on council land has won the right to buy the grassy sliver he inadvertently encroached on.

The homeowner, who does not want to be named, thought he was inside his garden’s boundaries when he replaced a fence along Flowerdale Road.

But council officers found the original fence had been built on an incorrect alignment in the 1940s, when the property was first inhabited, and the new fence mistakenly enclosed about five square metres of council-owned land.

Rather than pull down the new fence, the owner applied to buy the land. Council officers said the sliver of reserve was not required as a road for public use.

munity can receive some return for the transfer of land,” they said in a report.

At council’s services committee meeting last week, Cr Phillip Healey moved that the land be sold. The proposed sale will be advertised and residents given a chance to comment.

The move follows a similar sale last year in Kew when a resident was allowed to buy part of nature strip, valued at more than $170,000, to add to her garden.

ALISON BARCLAY

Towering honour for pub A Boroondara Art Deco property is tipped for heritage listing. The Tower Hotel, the Moderne lines of which command the corner of Camberwell and Burwood roads in Hawthorn East, got the unanimous nod last week from council, which agreed to protect the elegant edifice designed by P.J. O’Connor and built in 1941. Also approved for a heritage overlay were five houses in Grange Avenue, Surrey Hills, noted as good examples of ‘‘interwar attic-style houses with California bungalow influence’’.

PERMIT PERMITTING The Mobil service station near the Monash Freeway entrance in Auburn is the subject of a post-planning permit for part demolition within a public acquisition overlay. The station is fenced off while work begins on its renovation.

■ FLAT PERMIT DENIED Boroondara council has refused a planning permit for a 17-flat development in Queens Avenue, Hawthorn, on the ground that five of the flats would not have car spaces. At council’s urban planning meeting last week, Cr Coral Ross said the amenity of the flats would be ‘‘suspect’’, as the five one-bedroom dwellings would have bedrooms without natural light. “They get a double whammy – not only do they not get a car park, but they don’t get a bedroom window,” she said.

Town planning consultant Cathy Pearl, for the developer, said the proposal offered affordable housing in a location close to public transport. The motion to refuse a permit was carried 7-2.

■ CONCERT FOR KIDS The final concert of Boroondara’s summer music series will be a kid-oriented affair at the Rocket Park (aka Central Gardens), Hawthorn, this Sunday (February 17). The Scratch Trash Orchestra will join the Gee Whiz Kids for music and games from 11am. Free.

Alarm as truck crashes into Montague bridge

TOO BIG: A hire truck didn’t make it under a light-rail bridge

TRUCKS should be banned from driving under South Melbourne’s bridges or ‘‘bang-bars’’ should be installed to reduce the high number of collisions caused by low clearance heights, locals say.

A crash disrupted traffic on Montague Street last week, after the driver of a hire truck misjudged the height of the light rail bridge near the intersection of Montague and Woodgate streets, causing the back

of the truck to collapse. The Montague Street bridge has a clearance of three metres.

The driver, who wished to be identified only as Peter, said he did not drive trucks regularly and had misjudged the height. ‘‘There needs to be more warning lights or something to help drivers become aware of the height,” he said.

Two other bridges in South Mel-

bourne, the City Road light-rail bridge, which has a height limit of 3.8 metres, and the York Street lightrail bridge, which has the lowest clearance of 2.8 metres, are also accident black-spots. A truck driver died in 2008 when his truck collided with the City Road light-rail bridge.

The Greens put forward a motion to state Parliament last week calling for a parliamentary investigation into the effect of trucks on our roads.

South Melbourne resident Joanie Nicholls said the inquiry should be extended to include smaller trucks.

She said she was furious nothing had been done to reduce the risk of accidents since the 2008 fatality.

According to VicRoads statistics, between January, 2011 and December, 2012, there were 12 accidents involving high vehicles crashing into the bridges on City Road and Montague Street.

EDDIE MORTON

Skateboarder’s portrait legacy

BY EDDIE MORTON emorton@mmpgroup.com.au

THE death of Australian professional skateboarder Lewis Marnell at age 30 has inspired a burst of artistic endeavour in his memory.

Marnell died on January 18 from complications arising from diabetes, leaving behind his wife of only six months and a devastated family.

Prahran skate park has been turned into a shrine to the celebrated skateboarder, with a fourmetre-long mural created by two of Marnell’s friends, who wished to remain anonymous.

Skateboarders at the park praised the artwork’s creators, saying it kept alive the memory of someone with a genuine and infectious love for life.

Marnell was born in Melbourne, grew up in Sweden, and returned to Australia to skateboard full-time.

His brother, Jonas Marnell, 33, a

photographer and street artist, last week ended the family’s month-long silence on Marnell’s death, saying there had been an overwhelming show of support from the community.

Jonas Marnell has painted a series of murals in Fitzroy in memory of his brother, including two three-metrehigh portraits.

“My brother taught me to live life by my own rules and not by everybody else’s,” Marnell said.

“Lewis never let his illness stop him from becoming who or what he wanted to be. ‘‘He was the most fearless and determined person I have ever met.”

Marnell said the cause of his brother’s death was a hypoglycaemic reaction. ‘‘We are still looking for answers,’’ he said. ‘‘There have been some very dark days.’’

Police search for ring owner Lost something precious?

Police are looking for the owner of a commemorative gold ring, dated 1947, that was handed in with a box of lost property found at the South Melbourne Market last year.

Originally thought to be a championship ring for American major league baseball, it has been traced back to St Petersburg High School in Florida. The school has confirmed it is a graduation ring.

School records indicate the ring’s owner was William C. Yarbrough, who was president of the Drama Club, homeroom vice president and a member of the Chemistry Club.

A search of US census records found two people share the name of the ring’s owner, one whose father was an auditor in the fruit and vegetable industry.

The South Melbourne Market confirmed there were no stallholders at the market by that name.

Do you know Mr Yarbrough?

RISING property prices and falling player numbers are putting the squeeze on Melbourne’s squash courts, but the manager of Bayside’s last public courts insists his are ‘‘here to stay’’.

sed and the land at 116-120 Martin Street were sold to property developers in December, along with a neighbouring site on the corner of Asling Street. The buildings also house the Salt of the Earth health centre, Shustin Developments and John Lombardo tax and accounting office.

The sale comes as squash courts all over the city are being squeezed out of prime residential real estate as

property developers move in.

Squash Victoria high performance manager Richard Cagliarini said courts in Belmont, Malvern and Melton had been sold and closed since the end of last year.

“Courts are built in residential zones and when someone makes the offer it can be hard to refuse,” he said. Mr Cagliarini said as the number of courts declined, fewer people were playing the sport.

Australian Sports Commission data shows that between 2001-10 the number of Victorians playing squash fell 58.8 per cent, from 87,600 to 36,900.

Brighton Squash manager Phil Larmer said he was not worried about the sale as his business was strong and would continue “here or elsewhere”.

Mr Larmer said he has a secure lease on the courts.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ VEG OUT Desmond Bellamy rightly condemns the cruelty in Australian slaughterhouses and urges readers to adopt a vegan diet (‘‘Choose Vegan’’ RL February 6).

A recent study by Oxford University and published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vegetarians had a 32 per cent lower risk of falling ill or dying from heart disease. The research was funded by Cancer Research UK and the Medical Research Council. The study, the biggest of this type, ran for 11 years and involved 44,500 people.

The global trend watcher thefoodpeople also carried out research predicting a 50 per cent surge in vegetarianism in the UK. It is little wonder when such luminaries as the now-slim Bill Clinton extol the health benefits of a vegan lifestyle.

Why wouldn’t a vegan diet catch on – it is cheaper than meat and dairy, it is good for the animals and it

has proven health and environmental benefits.

government cuts (‘‘Patients queue in cutback pain’’, RL, January 30).

If $7.8 million is making such a dramatic effect at The Alfred, surely the Victorian government, in its concern for continuous improvement, could reduce its cuts to cover the federal shortfall?

■ PAY ATTENTION How are members of the public to get assistance now from ministers, or any politicians at all, when all politicians and their staff are focused on an election?

Ben O’Rance @nopersonality

■ CINEMA PRAISE Well done, Eddie Tamir, on your new cinema venture (‘‘Full screen ahead as Lido wins on parking’’, RL, February 6).

The world needs more people like Eddie. Instead of turning the site into a monstrosity of concrete and glass, he has decided to honour the building’s ‘‘bones’’. I only wish more would follow his example, so the people of Melbourne could enjoy where they live, instead of just ‘‘existing’’.

I think I speak for many when I say I would much rather frequent Eddie’s boutique cinema instead of the soulless muliplexes.

EDDIE MORTON

efore Queen Elizabeth’s celebrations last year, 1897 was the last Diamond Jubilee commemorated by the British Commonwealth.

In the top picture, children can be seen playing under a huge archway commemorating Queen Victoria’s 60-year rule. Made of foliage and lights and stretching the full width of Toorak Road, the archway included the royal coat of arms and a portrait of Queen Victoria.

Today, the Arcadia Hotel still stands and the tram tracks run just as straight, but little more is recognisable on the bustling shopping strip. Instead of a grand archway, street lamps and billboards bear down on shoppers. By night, the intersection transforms into a hub for late night revellers and cheeky 7-Eleven runs.

SUPER MODEL Ashburton business woman STEPHANIE WAKEFIELD puts the super in Super Nanny

S

BABY BOOMER: Wakefield helps match families with the right nanny

tephanie Wakefield was aware that her being both a model and a nanny could make some mothers uncomfortable, but didn’t expect to be told so at her first job. It was during an interview with a family that Wakefield would end up working with for four years, that the mother made her feelings crystal clear:“‘I read that you model occasionally and I just want to let you know that I don’t want you to encourage [my daughter] Bella to do that type of thing. No offence, but it’s just not a very good job!”

No offence taken, Wakefield is still in touch with the family and laughs at the memory. It was actually this mother who gave Wakefield the idea to start her online business. Founded by Wakefield in 2010, My Super Nanny matches families with a nanny to

suit their needs and family dynamic.

The website also acts as a parents’ hub with blogs on everything from organic living to parenting tips, beauty and fashion.

In the sunny kitchen of her Ashburton home, Wakefield explains that she and her business partners originally planned to charge parents a flat sign-up fee, of which she could pass on 5 per cent to the charity My Room Children’s Cancer Centre. But as she has learnt, there are many challenges in running your own small business.

“We had a sign-up fee for 10 days but we had to change it back,” she says.“That was hugely disappointing for me but ... if my clients say they don’t like it, then I listen to them.”

Originally from Moe South, Wakefield moved to Melbourne to study but regularly returns to her parents’ farm in Warragul, where she

recently organised a charity event with bands, a clown and a farmers market to support My Room.With all this under her belt,Wakefield is a role model on the rise.

There’s a great mix of stalls, from uni students selling their entire wardrobe at $5 a piece (one with a sign saying: ‘‘We are poor uni students, please buy from us’!’) to stalls featuring kitschy, vintage homewares and furniture.

HATE

G

rant Piro knows little about hate. He knows even less about finance and business manoeuvres. But playing driven stockbroker Raymond fits him like the three-piece suit he wears in Hate, written by Australian playwright Stephen Sewell and being performed at the Malthouse Theatre this month.

Not everybody loves Raymond.

Certainly not the family he belongs to in the play, nor the actor who has lived in his skin every working day for several weeks. But Piro loves playing a character he doesn’t love. ‘‘Hate is a younger person’s emotion and if you still have it as an older person, you have wasted a lot of time,’’ he says during a break in rehearsals. ‘‘I don’t like Raymond as a person, but I enjoy playing him because he is very layered, he has hidden sides that are revealed throughout the play, he’s desperate about what he wants to achieve, he is driven, and he’s a very identifiably Australian character. ‘‘He’s very interesting.’’

Raymond is the middle child of the wealthy and powerful Gleason family whose patriarch John (William Zappa) has invited his three children to his country estate on a Thursday night to drop a bombshell. It is the day before Good Friday, John Gleason suggests

Where: Merlyn Theatre Malthouse, 113 Sturt Street, Southbank When: February 20–March 8 Bookings: 9685 5111 Details: visit malthousetheatre.com.au

there will be a betrayal, but, as in any good whodunnit, no one knows who will betray whom.

In the 24 hours the play covers, the children are locked in a power struggle with their father, red herrings are rampant and there are

several ‘‘quick left turns’’. ‘‘It’s a political thriller and a power struggle within a very wealthy family,’’ says Piro.‘‘This is a dysfunctional family. They pretend to like each other but then the cracks seem to open up. But do

not despair – you are not going to leave the theatre feeling dreadful.

It’s not a slash your wrists kind of play. ‘‘Anyone interested in exciting, innovative, dangerous theatre that is driven with exceptionally good

writing and acting should come and see Hate.’’

Piro, who has grown a moustache to lend his brash character gravity and menacing weight, finds it easier to play characters who are unlike him.

In the past year, he has shot a film in India called Save Your Legs, in which he plays a cricketer named Punter, has played a 1930s journalist in His Girl Friday for the Melbourne Theatre Company, ‘‘some guy selling real estate’’ in Winners and Losers on TV, and is a misogynistic wrongdoer called Quincy in Crime and Punishment, which is being shot in Melbourne.

He has been playing characters unlike himself for 30 years, having kicked off his career as a 16-yearold on Sons and Daughters before hosting the ABC’s Couch Potato. ‘‘Doing clever story-telling is where I want to be,’’ he says. ‘‘I feel I’m at the top of my cultural tree.

Working at places like Malthouse and the MTC is utopia for me.’’

When not acting, Piro has been helping performer Marina Prior, whom he married in May last year, with her album Both Sides Now and the tour that follows.

Piro and Prior are also working on her next album, and raising the five children between them from previous marriages. ‘‘There’s no time for hate.There’s a lot of love and a lot of positive energy,’’ he says.

BEHIND THE COUNTER A European-Brunswick Street vibe was the aim when Peter Barclay and his wife, Judi, opened Alley Cat Cafe in Canterbury three months ago.Thanks to great coffee and the ambience of a shaded courtyard off popular Maling Road – with a musical duo at weekends in summer – Alley Cat is already a favourite with locals. Judi is on deck during the week and Peter splits his time between the corporate world and barista-dom.“I am surprised at how social it is,” he says.

Peter says the customer base is varied; among the most loyal is a 96-year-old gent who brings in his own cushion. Alley Cat Cafe hosts walking groups, small gettogethers and young families at weekends.“School students come here for their first dates,” says Peter.“You can tell because they are so awkward and they order a milkshake.”

Future tennis stars are rising in the east THE glow of the Australian Open may be dimming, but tennis in Melbourne’s east is still bubbling along nicely, especially among younger kids.

Tennis Australia’s Hot Shots program – the equivalent of Auskick or in2cricket – is booming and looks likely to grow further.

Jason Lindeman, a tennis coach for 20 years, is running the Hot Shots programs in Camberwell and Kew and says the future is bright for young tennis stars in the area. ‘‘We’d like to continue with the pathway we have so the kids can be the best they can be,’’ Lindeman says. ‘‘But we want to grow and build and get more people involved in tennis because it’s a great sport and you can take it all over the world.’’

Since starting with roughly a dozen kids just five years ago, Lindeman now coaches close to 400 across his centres, 180 of which go to the Camberwell Junction Tennis Club. ‘‘We throw the kids in the deep end and within a couple of weeks

they can do what used to take them ages,’’ he says. ‘‘Within every lesson we have little games or competitions with rallies, so it’s much more like the actual game of tennis.’’

The Hot Shots program uses modified equipment and court sizes that are better suited to younger players and help them get used to the game at their own pace.

Lindeman has seen plenty of success stories through the program, such as nine-year-old Cooper White, who is the third-ranked player in the state for his birth year. ‘‘He’s one of our top little kids at the moment, although we also have a seven-year-old who had a 793-ball rally last term, and anyone who can maintain a rally for that long can play anyone and anywhere in the world,’’ Lindeman says.

Although tennis is an individual sport, Lindeman says he loves getting groups of players together and taking them to events such as the Australian Open as a team to show them what’s possible. ‘‘You give them an experience money can’t buy and I’m sure it helps them stay in the sport,’’ he says.

LOVING IT: Kids from the Camberwell Junction Hot Shots program enjoyed their visit to Rod Laver Arena ‘‘The kid gets to play on Rod Laver Arena and they fall in love with the game that I love.’’

The recent introduction of Cardio Tennis for adults has also built up a strong following, with Lindeman

hoping it achieves the same success as the Hot Shots program. ‘‘We’re really committed to those two programs,’’ he says. ‘‘We want to see the sport grow in Melbourne’s east.’’

EFL faces testing times in drugs fight THE Eastern Football League will be able to request drug tests for players suspected of using performanceenhancing drugs (PEDs).

The tests, which would be done by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA), were made available to leagues at an AFL conference with community football administrators in October.

The EFL confirmed this week that

all players were under the AFL AntiDoping Code and ASADA could be called in or could arrive at random to test them.

The league said there had been no doping complaints about its players but it was still educating club officials on the matter.

The Australian Crime Commission released an interim report on crime in sport on Thursday which

stated that while PED use, organised crime connections and grooming players for match-fixing were a problem at elite level, at ‘‘sub-elite’’ level there were concerns about players buying PEDs and other substances online.

EFL chief executive Rob Sharpe said his league had warned clubs repeatedly about the dangers of doping and of buying products

BRIEFS ■ MAGPIES GROUNDED Geelong gave Camberwell Second a Premier Cricket lesson on Saturday, declaring on 8/235 in reply to the Magpies 184.

Camberwell reached 2/87 in their second innings, with Michael McClean making 58.

which may contain banned substances. ‘‘We put out a message to clubs before Christmas telling them it was important players understand that at our level they come under ASADA,’’ he said.

Hawks all out for 39

STEPHEN MCKENZIE

DISGUSTED Hawthorn-Monash University coach Keith Jansz was lost for words after his team was bowled out for 39 on Saturday.

He said he couldn’t speak to his players after the 10-wicket loss at Monash University Oval and would save his post-mortem for training.

The Hawks were bowled out for 79 on the first day of the Premier Cricket match, then dismissed Casey for 92.

But after the second-innings collapse, when only Jake Marnie and Vinay Tripathi (both 10) reached double figures, Casey needed only 33 balls to reach 0/29 for the outright win. ‘‘It was pretty disgusting, to be blunt,’’ Jansz said. ‘‘I have never seen anything like it as a player or a coach. ‘‘It was an inept performance.’’

FIVE wickets to Brendan Drew led Camberwell to a nail-biting win over Geelong at Camberwell Sports Ground.

Chasing the home side’s 219 from the previous week, Geelong succumbed to Drew’s pace and was all out for 213.

It capped a superb all-round game for Drew, who followed his innings of 85 with 5-51.

Camberwell coach Shannon Young said he was happy his side executed their plans.

“Geelong like to hit boundaries so we knew if we could limit their scoring we could grab the wickets,” he said. ‘‘And then Drewy came on and bowled a spell worthy of a first-class player, which he is.’’

Kew finals hopes tail off

■ BEARS GROWL Deepdene Bears are in a strong position at the end of the first day of the Dunstan Shield clash with Hawthorn. Deepdene posted 188 on their home pitch, before reducing Hawthorn to 1/3 from two overs late in the day.

■ STILL IN TOUCH Kew Heights remains a chance of finals action despite a tough loss to Altona in a Division 1 bowls match on Saturday. Kew won one rink in the 2-72 to 16-85 loss but still sits sixth on the ladder with three rounds to play.

NOT THIS TIME: Kew’s Sam McTaggart tries to get the ball away down the leg side

BY EWEN McRAE KEW’S finals hopes were all but sunk by a stubborn Preston tail in the Sub District match at Victoria Park on Saturday.

After making 133 on the first day then reducing the visitors to 5/40 by the close, Kew couldn’t break through on the second day and Preston passed the target with three wickets to spare.

They batted on to make 172, before Kew ended on 5/167 in the second innings.

The day started promisingly for the home side when they took the sixth wicket at 71 and the seventh on 84 to give them a realistic shot at victory.

But Preston’s decision to push several of the more accomplished batsmen down the order last week

paid off when they were able to come in against the older ball.

Ben Waterman (2-56) did the early damage as he got a edge off George Pardalis (12) before sending Justin Di Battista (25) back to the sheds too.

But Kevin Lowe (69) proved too difficult to remove and he guided his side to the points with Brendan Barry (11).

Harry Short bowled Barry straight after the win had been secured to finish with 5/38.

Preston was all out for 172 for a lead of 39 then dismissed both Kew openers for ducks.

But an outright result was never likely as Jack Baker made 80 and Ben Cookson 43 not out for Kew. Kew’s captain Francis Gill was philosophical about the result and admitted his team’s finals hopes had

probably gone for this season.

“They had a fair bit of luck with edges going through slips and things like that but that’s cricket,” he said.

“We’ll probably try for an outright next week but, to be honest, that’s probably it for us this year unfortunately.”

BALWYN crumbled under the might of Oakleigh’s bowlers as only two batsmen managed double figures in pursuit of the home side’s 272 made on the first day at Warawee Park.

Patrick Tuohey carried his bat for 64 but Balwyn was all out for 114 as their finals chances slipped through their fingers.

Balwyn must now win both the final games and hope other results go their way if they are to repeat last year’s finals appearance.
