A SPIKE IN BICYCLE THEFTS has led police to urge cyclists to engrave identification numbers into their bike frames and use “D” locks instead of padlocks and chains. In 2011-2012 there were 4187 bicycles reported stolen across Victoria. According to one estimate, one in 10 riders will have their bike stolen within five years of purchase, with less than five per cent returned to the owner due to lack of identification. ■ REPORT P3

2 STONNINGTON REVIEW LOCAL

have been at Stonnington for almost three years and very much enjoy the role. All my colleagues in the police force work incredibly hard but in 32 years of policing this role has been the most diverse and challenging. It does, however, come with huge rewards when I see the reduction in road trauma and crime. I was born and raised on a farm in the Riverina district of New South Wales and went to boarding school in Bendigo. For most of my time with Victoria Police, I have been a detective at all ranks in various investigative areas, including assignments at the National Crime Authority and Australian Crime Commission. One memorable case was a large multimillion-dollar fraud case where the offender was manufacturing fake gold ingots and selling them to investors. He was promising returns well in excess of 18 per cent per annum: a case of the old saying of ‘‘If it sounds too good to be true, then it clearly is.’’ I spent three years at the Homicide Squad in the early ’90s and some of the unsolved cases I worked on still plague me. These include the Portland hairdresser murders and another case where a lady living in Chadstone was killed having disturbed someone breaking in to her home. In the past three decades, the changes in the police force have been huge. When I first joined we used typewriters and carbon paper and managed hard-copy files. Now we have computers, email and a plethora of software platforms that assist us to manage our resources and data effectively. But the core function of policing has not

QUOTABLE SOME OF THE UNSOLVED CASES I WORKED ON STILL PLAGUE ME

changed and most likely will never change. That function is to provide a safe and secure society, prevent people becoming a road-trauma statistic together with detecting and apprehending offenders and helping those in need of assistance. I am of the firm belief that Melbourne, and in particular Stonnington, are most definitely safe places and are getting safer. Some people think it may not be safe to walk around the streets at night, but the crime figures tell me that the likelihood of people becoming a victim of crime is extremely low.

PROFILE ADRIAN WHITE, 52 WHAT I LIKE ABOUT STONNINGTON: The leafy surrounds, vibrant restaurant, cafe and retail sector and terrific sense of community. WHAT I’D CHANGE: For people to be respectful to everyone and not drink to excess, consume illicit drugs and/or behave in a violent and socially unacceptable manner. I’d also like more resources to help those who suffer from mental health issues.

Warning to mark and D-lock bikes

STONNINGTON police are urging residents to think twice before locking their bicycles in underground car parks. The warning comes after a spate of bike thefts from apartment block car lots in and around the Chapel Street area. Police said retrieving bikes with no identifiable markings was next to impossible. “We encourage everyone to engrave an identification number on their bike somewhere, that way it becomes much easier to find the bike and return it to its owner,” said Sergeant Mark Sahib. “Some of these bikes can cost well into the thousands. That’s as much as a small car.” In 2011-12 there were 4187 bicycles reported stolen across Victoria, with just 245 offenders charged. The figure represents a 4.1 per cent rise on the previous year,

and leaves more than 3800 bicycle thefts unsolved. More than $3.2 million worth of bicycles, with an average value of $905, were stolen or damaged during the 12 months. Police encourage bike owners to engrave their driver’s licence number into the frame and use “D” locks instead of padlocks and chains. According to mybikeREGO, a bicycle safety and identification company, one in 10 bike owners will have their bike stolen within five years of purchase, with less than 5 per cent returned to owners because of lack of identification. “Bike theft in Melbourne and Australia is a quickly increasing problem due to ease of access and the sport’s growth in popularity,” said mybikeREGO’s co-founder Shane Paola. Cyclists who do not have access to an engraver can contact the crime prevention officer at Prahran Police Complex on 9520 5200. To register with mybikeREGO, visit mybikerego.com.

SEVENTY Australian and overseas artists are showing 150 works at the Royal Botanic Gardens as part of a biennial exhibition. Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens are presenting the 11th The Art of Botanical Illustration until November 25. Illustrators’ group the Whirlybirds, which meets every Tuesday and Thursday at the Whirling Room Studio at the gardens, has artwork in the show. Whirlybirds co-ordinator Sandra Sanger, who regularly travels interstate and overseas to illustration shows, said the Melbourne exhibition was ‘‘world class’’ and “attracts visitors from around the world”. US artist Hillary Parker, a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists, will host a masterclass on Sunday, November 18. The exhibition is at Domain House Gallery, Dallas Brooks Drive, South Yarra. Details: rbg.vic.gov.au.

VOX POP DO YOU THINK MOBILE PHONES SHOULD BE SWITCHED OFF IN VEHICLES? ANDREW CURRY, Surrey Hills No, if you’re smart you shouldn’t use it. Some people are not responsible so will still use it so they should be fined, but you should be allowed to leave your phone on. As long as you are responsible there won’t be an issue.

JONO POWER, South Yarra Yes, I work in sales so have a phone for work; it’s a distraction so I can see why they want them switched off.

CLAIRE SHINGLETON, Prahran I don’t drive but I think it’s a good idea; people won’t get distracted that way.

MELBOURNE’S No:1 AUDI & VW SERVICE SPECIALIST

Police are searching for a man who allegedly assaulted a young woman as she waited for the tram in Armadale just after midnight on October 7. The woman was at a tram stop on the corner of High Street and Orrong Road when she was approached by a man who asked her what time the next tram was coming. As she turned to check the timetable, he reached across her and tried to grab her arm. The man is described as being of Indian appearance, 35 to 45 years old, with a medium build, black hair, a prominent nose and a slight accent. He was wearing a striped shirt. Police have released an image of a man (pictured) they want to question over the incident.

The 75-year-old is the second Australian to hold the top job in the past six years with Betty Collins OAM retiring from her post in 2008. Just one vote separated Mr Aarons and the current president, South Africa’s John McArdle, in the organisation’s recent election. World Bowls includes representatives from 49 different member nations and Mr Aarons is looking forward to leading the sport to the World Championships in Adelaide, to be held later this month, and on to the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Having served as president for Bowls Australia for the past two years, Mr Aarons says his new role gives him the opportunity to boost the sport’s rising popularity among younger generations.

He said although lawn bowls provides older generations with an invaluable social outlet, it is the more casual and social form of the sport, “barefoot bowls”, that has really helped the sport grow in recent years. “There are more than a million registered club members of bowls clubs across Australia now and it is the barefoot bowls evenings that has helped to boost that figure,” he said. It was in a makeshift backyard bowling green 30 years ago where Mr Aarons had his first bowl and while his eyes are firmly focused on the sport’s global presence, he remains a local club man at heart. “Lawn bowls has this funny ability to draw you in,’’ he said. ‘‘Community is what differentiates bowls from other sports because anybody can play it, at any age, both men and women, and even people with disabilities.” Mr Aarons will be officially announced as the new president at the organisation’s head office in Scotland on December 6.

Haven on earth goes on show BY TERESA MURPHY teresa.murphy@fairfaxmedia.com.au

STEVE Wells is always chuffed when patients and their families reap pleasure from gardens he has designed. He is horticultural therapist and a clinical nurse specialist at the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre in Kew, where he has designed and developed two gardens since 2005. One is a sensory garden, the other a series of three garden rooms built by SJB Landscape. They are havens of beauty and peace for patients, their visitors and hospital staff. ‘‘I feel very blessed to see how these gardens have touched people,’’ Mr Wells says. The Royal Talbot healing gardens will be open as part of the fifth biennial Rotary Garden DesignFest this weekend, November 17 and 18. Details: gardendesignfest.com.au.

School crossing to shift for safety emorton@fairfaxmedia.com.au

PLANS to improve safety at a dangerous Punt Road intersection have only added to the concerns and frustrations of South Yarra Primary School principal Peter Clifton and the school community. Last week, Prahran parliamentary member Clem Newton-Brown announced that works to improve pedestrian safety at the intersection of Pasley Street North and Punt

In my busy retail store I never find time to shop for hospitality equipment. The team at Cedar offer a brilliant on road call & delivery service so I can concentrate on being there for my customers. That’s why Cedar is My Hospitality Store…

SAFETY DRIVE: Peter Clifton at the intersection Road would start in late March 2013 and be completed by mid-2013. After campaigning for the safety

changes for more than 18 months, Mr Clifton said the urgency of the safety works had not been reflected by VicRoads or the local MP. “Every day that passes is another risk to our children,” Mr Clifton said. The intersection has been the site of numerous accidents and Mr Clifton regularly sees motorists running red lights even during school pickup time. One of the school’s mothers was hit and dragged more than 50 metres down Punt Road by a bus, according to the principal.

Mr Clifton and the school council instigated the campaign to improve safety at the intersection where the primary school’s 270 children pass every day. VicRoads plans to shift the existing traffic light pedestrian crossing to the corner of Pasley Street North and Punt Road, with additional arrow signals. Mr Newton-Brown admitted the delay was “unfortunate” and was due to VicRoads logistical and operational factors.

An 11-year-old Glen Iris girl has taken the fight against depression and school bullying into the mobile world with the creation of an iPad and iPhone app called Positive Penguins. The app aims to assist primary school children in tackling negative thoughts. Sara Price came up with the idea for Positive Penguins with her mother Meg while doing a school assignment on healthy bodies and minds. “I decided to make my characters penguins because I’d learnt that they are one of the most resilient animals on earth,” Sara said. According to Meg Price, it was so well received at school that they began receiving requests from parents to use the project to help their own children. Sara and her brothers, Charlie and John, helped design the colourful app alongside Melbourne-based web app development company OMate. The app was launched last week on Apple iTunes and costs $4.49.

Voters asked to have their say teresa.murphy@fairfaxmedia.com.au

WERE you among the 45,000 people who voted in the recent Stonnington council elections? The Victorian Electoral Commission is keen to hear from you. It wants to know what was done well, what could be improved and how voters rate their voting experience. You can respond online or call 131 832 for a paper version. No name is required on the survey, which only takes a few minutes online. Of the 80,674 voters enrolled in Stonnington, 45,336 turned out, 4668 voted informally and 30,670 did not vote. The 56 per cent turnout was the third lowest among the eight Melbourne councils that opted for attendance voting. Stonnington used postal voting in the previous five elections. New councillor Adrian Stubbs (East ward), said he was surprised by the poor turnout, as well as the

Gangs in shop scam

Parks to close for sewer works

BY TERESA MURPHY

BY ALANA SCHETZER

GROUPS of males are working in gangs to distract shop staff and then steal from them, Boroondara police claim. Five shops and businesses have been targeted since September, but police suspect the gangs, described as being of African appearance, could be responsible for more. Leading Senior Constable Mick Weinman said the typical scenario involved three males targeting a lone female sales attendant. ‘‘One of them engages the staff member – usually one female attendant – in conversation regarding a product,’’ he said. ‘‘One of the other males then asks to use the toilet or wash their hands. ‘‘While the staff member is distracted, another of the males will steal a mobile phone or wallet.’’ Police say beauty salons, hairdressers and general stores in Burwood, Glenferrie and Burke roads in Hawthorn, and High Street in Ashburton, have been hit. ‘‘We have had five offences since September but there may be more, as there have been similar thefts where the victim has not seen the offender,’’ Mr Weinman said. ‘‘The victim may have not associated the males as being offenders at the time, and only later discovered their phone was missing.’’ He said that on one occasion it appeared that the males broke up and worked solo. ‘‘We had three offences occur within minutes of each other but at stores in Hawthorn and Ashburton. The descriptions of offenders’ clothing was different but the circumstances were the same.’’ He said this was the second bout of offences in the area. If anyone has any information, visit crimestoppers.com.au or call 1800 333 000.

PARTS of Alphington Park and Coate Park will be closed until 2015 for a Melbourne Water sewer upgrade that will begin at the end of 2013. The water authority needs to replace or repair a 1.7-kilometre section of sewer, which is almost 100 years old and in poor condition. Melbourne Water project spokesman Phil Corluka said the areas

to avoid heritage listed trees. ‘‘All tree removal requires council permission and ... any trees and vegetation that are removed will be replaced with additional trees, shrubs and grasses,’’ he said. Melbourne Water has opened public consultation on the threeyear project, which will work on sewers in Alphington and Kew, including La Trobe Golf Club. About 85,000 properties will be affected once construction works

Train death help plea

Weapons effort delights police BOROONDARA has ranked 10th for number of weapons seized in the first month of a statewide amnesty. Boroondara police received 28 items out of 1140 firearms and weapons handed in across the state since October 1. Sergeant John Hough said the figures in Boroondara did not point to a crime wave. He said the numbers indicated people were responsibly responding to the amnesty. “Most people are handing in unwanted firearms and firearms from deceased estates,” he said. Weapons seized in Boroondara included antique firearms and unused shotguns. Mr Hough said unused and unwanted weapons had the potential to fall into the wrong hands. “If they are stolen then there is the potential for some criminal use down the track,” he said. Victorians have until November 30 to surrender illegal or unwanted weapons to police.

TRANSIT police need help identifying a man who died at East Camberwell recently. The man (pictured) was hit by a train near East Camberwell station about 11am on Friday, September 14, after he stepped out of an alcove on to the track. Police believe the man caught trains on the Belgrave line on the day he died. He was Caucasian, of slim build and with cropped brown hair, about 167 centimetres tall and aged 18-25. He was wearing multiple layers of clothing, including Swedish brand Crocker jeans with light-blue waterproof pants over the top, an athletic brand T-shirt, a black and yellow jumper and a black hooded jumper with a white stripe. He was carrying an unregistered Myki card, a black wallet with a piece of paper inscribed with a number of eight-digit combinations, a black pocketsized notebook with the front pages torn out, a blue pen and a post-it note with train times and speeds. Efforts to identify the man, including checks of missing person files, have so far proven fruitless. Anyone who recognises him should contact crimestoppers .vic.gov.au or phone 1300 333 000.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ RIGHT TO CHOOSE Applause to Noellene Ward (‘‘Death with dignity’’, RL, Letters, October 17) for bringing an important issue to community attention. Argument for change must focus on “voluntary euthanasia”, or my wish to choose the circumstances of my death. I am a member of Dying With Dignity Victoria, a community-based organisation providing information and advice about advanced healthcare directives to help document a person’s wishes about intervention, treatment and care when dying. DWDV advocates law reform to enable physician-assisted death and is involved in the preparation of a bill, to be presented to the State Parliament, that specifies a number of precisely defined safeguards that will ensure a person’s right to choose the time and circumstances of their death, according to their own values and wishes. Advanced healthcare directives, documenting these wishes and circumstances, are crucial to the acceptance of the

■ PARTY TIME Congratulations to the voters of Stonnington who last month elected two members of the Greens and one member of the Labor party and possibly two Liberals. Sadly, Stonnington is now infected by the three major political parties and has lost its majority independent voice. This sad state of affairs, coupled with the fact that only half the eligible voters actually cared about their local community and thus voted, has left future decisionmaking to the five new councillors, who thus far have contributed very little to the community they live in and say they represent. Thank goodness three former mayors of Stonnington were re-elected to help provide stability. We can also rejoice in the fact that the council is no longer under threat of being influenced by three members of the same family. There is always a

positive outcome after every election, although the future is uncertain. Andrew Peters / Malvern

■ NO TO NUCLEAR A 2011 poll by Roy Morgan Research found that 61 per cent of Australians oppose the development of nuclear power in Australia, nearly double the 34 per cent level of support. The poll found that just 12 per cent would support a nuclear plant being built in their area, 13 per cent would be anxious and 73 per cent would oppose it. For Australia’s low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste, Labor and the Coalition have used crude divide-and-rule tactics against Aboriginal communities in their so-far-unsuccessful efforts to establish a nuclear dump. Those tactics are not only offensive but also ineffective. The federal government seems to be backing away from plans to dump the waste in the Northern Territory. Dr Jim Green / Friends of the Earth

1 ARI HATZIS

t seems surprising that a cosmopolitan city such as Stonnington has never hosted a literary festival before. Fortunately, the planets have aligned for the municipality’s inaugural readers’ feast, intriguingly titled, [untitled]. With extra money in the budget and propelled by the National Year of Reading, local librarians and Stonnington council knew the time was right. Library co-ordinator Dianne Panjari got the wheels turning, with library development officer Patricia Arkoudis in charge of programming. Now on parental leave, Arkoudis has passed the baton to Chelsea Hughes, who’s in charge of programs and events at all four Stonnington libraries. Hughes, 33, comes with quite a resume. Before moving to Melbourne, she ran the Digital New Zealand service at the National Library in Wellington.Texas-born, she was a music cataloguing librarian in the US before working in Birmingham for a year. She settled in Stonnington in March, with her husband and child. Before taking on the daunting task of launching a literary festival, she first had to explore Melbourne’s rich literary landscape.‘‘That was the hardest part, of course, starting from scratch,’’ she says. ‘‘It was quite a steep learning curve. But once we had the vision, the puzzle’s pieces came together. We wanted our first festival to have as much flavour as possible, especially local flavour. Of the 21 authors and presenters we’ve booked, half are local. “We also launched a writing competition, which has had a tremendous response. Entries came from all over Australia, but many were Stonnington [residents] of all ages, from seven to 83. Local book lovers can look forward to a local literary festival at least biennially, and hopefully annually,’’ she says.

Tempting fetes Celebrity guests. Lucrative donations. Aeroplane ﬂyovers. Primary school fairs are going upmarket, as FRAN CUSWORTH reports.

t’s two days before the Spensley Street Primary School fete, and the forecast is for rain. Convener Nanette Bold, who has been planning this fete in Clifton Hill since May, would be entitled at this point to lie face down on the ﬂoor and cry, but she is calm. ‘‘We’ve cut back the soft drink order. We’ll probably sell more hot food. We’ve had rain before, and the weather doesn’t seem to have a huge impact on crowds,’’ she says. Over in the eastern suburbs, Sally Murchie is putting the ﬁnishing touches on the Auburn South Primary School fete, also

just days away when we speak. This mother of four has been involved in the school’s fete for 12 years, running it for the past four – the last one raised $98,000. She has been working on this year’s fete since February. ‘‘I’ve taken the past two weeks off work to focus full time on the fete. I’ll be up ’til midnight every night,’’ she says cheerfully.‘‘I never begrudge the time. It’s good fun.’’ Good fun it may be, but the school fete has become a key part of primary school budgets, with the more lucrative fetes raising huge sums. Malvern Primary, for instance, reported $115,000 proﬁt

from its last fete. The fete is an annual or biennial whirlwind in the lives of many schools, with the moving in of rides with names such as Tornado and Aqua Orb; auctions of increasingly lucrative donations – whole-body salt rub, anyone? – ﬂash mobs and feature events. One eastern suburbs school is rumoured to have organised an aeroplane ﬂyover for its fair late this year.

Mandy Weidmann manages the fetesandfestivals.com.au website, which, she says, gets 97,000 visits a year. She says the increasing numbers of professional women have taken

the school fete upmarket. ‘‘The skill sets of parent volunteers are much more sophisticated,’’ she says. “Now you’ve got project managers and professional publicists giving their time.’’

She says having a theme, a celebrity or a car to rafﬂe on the day works well. Her own school rafﬂed the right to dunk their local member of parliament. Schools are also hiring ATMs to have on site for the day. Working mums and dads might have great skills, but they also have less time. While there’s no doubt enduring friendships are forged in the coal-pits of sausage sizzles

and craft stalls, there are still many parents who groan loud and long at the very thought of their school fete.They dread the seemingly endless requests in the lead-up for donations of cakes, jams, fruit, jars, help at craft-making sessions for the craft stall, or clothes sorting sessions for the clothes stall. Donn Ferris, a father of two children at Gardenvale Primary in East Brighton, says he felt ‘‘really burnt-out’’ after his experience in helping organise the school fete a few years ago.‘‘It was like a full-time job near the end, and I already had a full-time job,’’ he says. ‘‘And for the money we raised –

FUN, NOT MONEY, IS THE GOAL

just over $10,000 – I didn’t feel it was worth it.’’ He says the main problem was stirring the parent body to help.‘‘You do ﬁnd that with any fund-raiser a school has, it’s the same group of people doing all the work, over and over.’’

While fetes can be a great money maker, it is a sad irony that they are more likely to be held in the wealthier areas than in struggling outer suburbs where schools need the cash more. And when they are held in poorer areas, they raise less money. Jason McBean is assistant principal of Laurimar Primary and convener

of his school’s fete. He says the Laurimar Town Fair made $26,000 profit last year, and it is usually a struggle to get enough volunteers. ‘‘This year we’ve put incentives up for teachers to recruit 15 parents to give one hour each – we’ve got a couple of $150 vouchers for the first teachers to get their 15,’’ he says. ‘‘Parents say they can’t help because there’s no babysitters. And out here, this has been a really tough year financially.’’

An Australian Education Union spokesman said union research shows schools are using fete income to pay for basics such as books, equipment and teachers.

‘‘Governments should be funding these items, not parent fundraising groups,’’ he said.‘‘And the fact that schools in richer areas can raise much more money from school fetes than poorer ones just exacerbates existing disadvantage.’’ At Spensley Street a few days after the fair, Nanette Bold says cool, wet weather didn’t stop anyone’s fun, and the school made a healthy $80,000 profit. At Auburn South, Sally Murchie reports that profits significantly topped those of the last fete, on a day blessed with sunshine. Her highlights were the elderly women

who knitted a bag of booties for the craft stall; the teenage ex-students who returned to wander around and eat fairyfloss, and the parent-made Haunted House,‘‘so scary it left some children in tears’’. It was Murchie’s last school fair, with her fourth and youngest child soon to finish primary school, and she says she will greatly miss the work and camaraderie. ‘‘It’s just a wonderful community feeling that you really only get in primary school. You don’t find anything like it anywhere else.’’ ■

Richard Bennetts (above) has seen school fairs change in his 21 years as a principal. ‘‘They’ve probably become a little more corporate in that we get lots of sponsorships and donations now,’’ he says. He’s certainly not complaining. In his eight years as head of Malvern Primary School, he’s seen close to half a million dollars flow into the school from fair profits, money that has bought items of lasting benefit. An e-learning centre in the library, interactive whiteboards throughout the school, a sprung floor for the basketball court, airconditioning – all from the profits of fairy floss and carnival rides. Last year’s fair raised $115,000. Sunday’s fair looks set to equal that. But Bennetts emphasises that making money is not the main aim. “It has always been about bringing the community together, and giving the kids some fun. I want it to stay like that,’’ he says. ‘‘It would be a mistake ... to rely on funds like this. You need to quarantine it in your budget and say, we think we’re going to make $50,000, but if we don’t, it’s not the end of the world.’’ Now a father of grown children, he watched his wife organise four school fairs, and a preschool one, and knows how much work is involved. ‘‘I barely saw her for the six weeks leading up to the fair,’’ he says. Twenty years ago, he was principal at Glen Waverley South Primary when its first fete made $5000. ‘‘We thought that was pretty good.’’ The school’s fete eventually made $30,000 ‘‘and we thought that was absolutely magnificent’’, he says. ‘‘But they weren’t anywhere near what Malvern can do.’’ Malvern Primary School’s fair is on Sunday, November 18, 10am-5pm, 17 Tooronga Road, Malvern East

arrawee in Toorak was famed for its garden, initially designed by the mansion’s architect, Walter Butler, for ﬁrst owner, A. Rutter Clarke. A creek and gully formed part of the extensive property’s ‘‘wild garden’’, reputedly one of the earliest native gardens in Australia. The 1906 mansion, with its Marseille roof tiles, was one of the ﬁnest examples of gabled houses in the Domestic Revival genre that Butler designed for his Toorak clientele. He also lived in the suburb. In 1929-1931, Edna Walling redesigned the garden for new owner, wheat merchant and BHP chairman Harold Darling. Warrawee was demolished in the 1980s.

hen Angela Armstrong first met her husbandto-be Stephen Rado on a water-skiing camping week away with friends, the lover of creature comforts from the city knew she would have adjust to snag this outdoorsy adventure man. Being new to sleeping under canvas, Armstrong didn’t know the first thing about tents, cooking outdoors and even what to wear. Twenty years on and the Toorak couple are a camping dynamo, lauded by friends and family for their five-star camping style. After years of writing packing lists for friends and explaining to camping newbies what to expect, the couple decided to pour their knowledge and knowhow into a book, Camping in Style. “The main thing is that people bring too much stuff and they struggle with cheap tents that

leak and take forever to put up,” Armstrong says.“We used to call my sister’s tent the Chinese Puzzle Tent because it used to take four or ﬁve people about an hour to try to work out what went in where!” Mostly written by Armstrong (a former journalist) with photos taken by the couple on their many trips, the book is a comprehensive guide to holidaying well in a tent. It is divided into four levels: Starting Out, Continental Breakfast, Outdoor Kitchen and Totally Wild. Camping is second nature to Rado, a six-time Antarctic expeditioner and a foreign aid worker trained in outdoor pursuits. As well as his logistics role for the Australian Antarctic Division, he worked for Médecins Sans Frontières in Nepal and RedR Australia in Pakistan, where he survived a helicopter crash in ﬂoodwaters.

Photos

When it comes to trips together back home, the pair take lots of small holidays and a long road trip each year to places such as Fraser Island, Victoria’s High Country, the Big and Little Deserts and most recently, Kangaroo Island. Armstrong says the simple pleasures of camping are in getting close to the environment and spending time with family and friends.“It’s just not the same when you are in a motel room and you shut yourself away from it all. Tent camping gets you immersed in it and it’s really rejuvenating. You feel the weight of the world behind you. Sitting around the campﬁre and chatting, you get to know people in a whole lot more intimate way.” Camping in Style is available now through Melbourne Books. JOANNE SIM jsim@mmpgroup.com.au.

Once the class begins, though, I’m too busy trying to follow moves and hold poses to be thinking too much about the temperature, and it actually doesn’t bother me as much as I’d expected. Not being a regular yoga devotee, I have to watch fellow students to know what to do, but the moves are not too difﬁcult and the teacher shifts my limbs when they’re in the wrong spot.

EXHIBITION

BALLET & FASHION Where: NGV International, 180 St Kilda Road, city When: Until May 19 Call: 8620 2222 Visit: ngv.vic.gov.au/

allet has always had a strong connection with fashion. From its beginnings in the courts of Europe, the dance form offered performers the chance to experiment with and inﬂuence fashion – an element of ballet which continues today. Of course,

fashion, in turn, has inspired costumes in countless productions. It is this interplay between art forms that is on display in Ballet & Fashion, a free exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. As part of celebrations to mark 50 years of The Australian Ballet, the

exhibition offers the chance to get close to the results of extraordinary collaborations.There are costumes for home-grown productions by Australian designers, including Easton Pearson and Toni Maticevski, while the work of international designers such as the ﬂamboyant Christian Lacroix and avant-garde Rei Kawakubo also features. NGV curator of international fashion and textiles, Roger Leong, says the aim is to showcase the “quirky alongside the classic and traditional”.The quirky is represented particularly well by Dutch design duo Viktor & Rolf’s creations for Nederlands Dans Theater III – the headpiece for one costume comprises red mesh for the face, surrounded by scarlet tresses splayed out over a treesprouting pillow; another design puts the dancer in a sheer white burqa-type garment with ﬂashing blue lights in the skirt. Certainly a far cry from ballet’s stereotypical pretty white tulle tutus. “We wanted to show that the ballet world is broad and fashion is diverse,” explains Leong when.“We have tried to showcase costumes from as many dance companies and fashion designers as possible.” Admiring a selection of costumes by Akira Isogawa, including a

shibori silk blouse and pleated leather vest complete with moulded leather pistol, which made up part of Romeo’s costume in the Sydney Dance Company’s 2011 production of Romeo and Juliet, Leong stresses that despite their contemporary appearance, aspects of tradition remain crucial to the garments’ design – such as the need for costumes to survive the rigours of performance. “These pieces look so delicate, but they’re actually very sturdy,” he says, glancing at an intricately embroidered slip of a silk and muslin dress Isogawa designed for the Sydney Dance Company’s 2005 production, Grand. “One of the exceptions in the exhibition is a tutu by Collette Dinnigan [for The Australian Ballet’s 2002 project, Tutu] – the lace is so fine that the stiff tulle supporting it started to tear through it.” Such effort and dedication on the part of the fashion designers is admirable, but is such subtle detail necessary? Doesn’t the detail of Dinnigan’s tissue-fine lace or the black flowers woven into the same-hued silk ground of a bodice by Toni Maticevski disappear when dancers take to the stage? Not so, says Leong.“All these little details make a difference when the costumes are in motion and really add to a performance. It’s amazing what your eye picks up on.” LEEYONG SOO lsoo@mmpgroup.com.au

KELLY GRANTHAM and NICHOLAS BRICKNELL had a shaky but happy start to a life together

EDNA EMERY (NEE TRIGGS) 4.7.1909 - 28.09.2012 FORMER East Malvern resident Edna Emery passed away peacefully at Goodwin House in Canberra on September 28, aged 103. Adored wife of Rob (deceased), Emery had two children: Chris and Carol; six grandchildren: Judy, Stephen, Sandy, Garry, James and Tess; and nine great-grandchildren: Jessie, Adam, Ashley, Nicole, Sharnee, Kelsey, Maddison, Harry and Callum.

As one of Canberra’s 48 centenarians, Emery was interviewed by the Canberra Times earlier this year and told them she moved to the nation’s capital soon after celebrating her 100th birthday in a Melbourne hospital with a broken arm. Just three months before she turned 103, Emery said she wasn’t quite sure just how she had lived so long.‘‘I guess I’ve been very lucky with my health,” she said.

or Kelly Grantham, the most memorable moment of her August 25 wedding to Nicholas Bricknell was seeing her groomto-be for the ﬁrst time at the church. “He was so nervous he couldn’t stop shaking,” she says.“When I held his hand I could feel it through my whole body.” The couple chose to hold their reception at The Gables in Malvern East for the period features of the venue, which suited the Victorian-era theme of their wedding day. Other suppliers that Grantham was particularly impressed with were ﬂorist Leanne Simmons from East Bentleigh and Fleetwood Limousines, which provided their transport on the big day.

DECENT EXPOSURE

t was all happening track-side around 11am last Tuesday – at Toorak station, that is. A slow trickle of Melbourne Cup arrivals soon became a torrent, with highspirited, high-heeled ladies and dapper gents taking trains to the big day. Wise move, that. Fortunately, no one experienced the nightmare Myki queues that plagued Southern Cross.That wouldn’t do at Toorak! CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT This is how punters look to many other punters when they return home from the Melbourne Cup. Alyce Pham and Elena Tsalanidis were beautifully positioned on the rail. Opting for the Toorak Road tram were (left to right) Olivia Boito, Josephone Tano, Sara McMicking and her sister, Alexandra. They’re photographed outside St John’s Anglican Church. Paul Kenna led Krysten Laletas by a short half head down Beatty Avenue. Something about Amanda Reinschmidt’s yellow and black get-up appealed to this Richmond supporter. With 100,000 expected at the track, who’d be crazy enough to drive?

Situations Vacant

Much hardship and difficulty is caused to job-seekers by misleading advertising placed in employment columns. Our Professional Employment and Situations Vacant columns are reserved for advertisements which carry a SPECIFIC and GENUINE offer of employment. All employment advertisements must state clearly the type of job offered and remuneration offered. (i.e. salary package, retainer plus commission or commission only). "Commission only'' jobs are only accepted in these columns PROVIDED that this is clearly stated in the ad AND the employer is paying Workcover and Superannuation. If not, then these advertisements MUST be placed in an alternate classification such as Self Employment Opportunities. Placing misleading advertisements is an offence against the Competition and Consumer Act and all advertisements are subject to the publisher's approval. For further advice contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on 9290 1800. Whilst Metro Media Publishing make every attempt to screen job advertisements, WE DO NOT ACCEPT LIABILIT Y FOR ADVERTISERS WHO FAIL TO C O M P LY W I T H T H E S E REGULATIONS.

BOWLS AUSTRALIA

Teenage bowler scores crackerjack title win BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au HE may play at the home of Australian film comedy Crackerjack, but Australia’s latest champion, Dylan Fisher, takes his lawn bowls a little more seriously. Aged just 18, he is one of the youngest singles winners of the Australian Champion of Champions, which brings together the champions of every state to determine the country’s best bowlers. ‘‘I knew if I just went there and played my best it would go OK, and it did,’’ he said. Fisher, who plays for Windsorbased club Melbourne, beat his more experienced opponent, Ken Evans, 21-8 in the final at Queanbeyan Bowls Club last month to take his first national singles crown. He shot to a 7-0 lead and from there was never headed. ‘‘I was really nervous so it was lucky I got off to a good start,’’ he said.

‘‘That sort of eased my nerves and things just went my way.’’ His success qualifies him for the World Champion of Champions tournament, which will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand, next year, a remarkable achievement for someone who has been bowling only eight years. ‘‘It’s something I never thought I could get to,’’ Fisher said. ‘‘I’ve been following the people who have gone there before and thought, ‘Oh geez – I’d love to do that one day’ ... I never thought it would happen. ‘‘Now it has, it’s pretty amazing.’’ Fisher started bowling at the age of 10 after going with his grand parents to their local club. He made steady progress and now plays in the Melbourne Premier bowls competition, the highest level in the state. ‘‘If you’re a Victorian bowler it’s something you look forward to . . . you live and breathe pennant so it’s really exciting,’’ said Fisher,

who lives in Frankston. He made his debut for Australia in Adelaide five months ago, winning gold in the men’s triples, and wants to represent Australia at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. ‘‘That’s my highest ambition – that and the world championships in four years,’’ he said. In the meantime, Fisher fills his time outside bowls studying personal training online, something he says gives him an edge in his closer matches. ‘‘If you’re fitter than your opponent, then maybe you’ve got a bit of an advantage at the end of a long day,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s always interested me and I want to see where it goes.’’ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

STONNINGTON REVIEW LOCAL 29

MORGANNA MAGEE

Xavs go with twin coaches BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au OLD Xaverians Football Club has followed the lead of several VAFA clubs and appointed co-coaches for the 2013 season. Nick Bourke and Dom Berry will take the reigns of the team that just missed premiership glory in 2012. They replace Andy Gowers, who stepped down after two years in charge. It’s the first time Xavs have gone with co-coaches, a model which has brought success to both Collegians and Old Scotch. ‘‘I’ve always been sceptical of it but with Collegians doing so well, Scotch having a good year and us all having busy lives it does make sense,’’ Bourke said. This is the second time Bourke has coached Old Xavs after leading the senior side in 1996-97, which included the 1996 premiership in which Berry was a key player.

‘‘Being an Old Xavier person myself it’s a real privilege to step into the role,’’ Berry said. ‘‘He (Bourke) has a lot of experience so I see it as a real advantage because I’ll be able to grab a lot of knowledge from him.’’ After inheriting a grand final team, neither man predicts much change in personnel, although they do think minor changes in playing style are needed to match it with Collegians, which has won the past two premierships. ‘‘I think we need more run in our game and more goals, because we weren’t big goalkickers last year,’’ Bourke said. Berry believes the club is close to breaking Collegians’ stranglehold on the Premier A flag. ‘‘I wouldn’t take on the role if I didn’t believe we could be successful and it’s a club that demands success,’’ Berry said. ‘‘Everyone at Old Xavs has high expectations, not just for the senior team but for all teams.’’

ON TARGET: Armadale’s Pam Brown sends one down in the win over Sunbury

Roll continues for Armadale’s women bowlers ARMADALE’S women’s bowlers continued their recent good form with a resounding win over cellardwellers Sunbury in premier bowls last week. Armadale won every rink at their home club to notch a 16-69 to 0-49 victory. Shirley Johnston was a standout in

a lead role, as was Rose-Marie Todes as Armadale controlled the match from start to finish. Skipper Gail Nadelman dominated her rink to post the biggest single victory of the day, 27-16. Team manager Gail Williams was pleased with the result, and the team’s continuing good form.

‘‘It was a very good team effort,’’ Williams said. The win, Armadale’s fourth of the season, and lifts the women one rung up on the table. The competition takes a break this week for the Victorian Open and will resume on November 20, when Armadale will play Lalor.

MATCH REPORT

BRIEFS ■ THIRD TIME LUCKY A fantastic hundred from Jason Smith handed East Malvern Tooronga its third win of the Wright Shield season on Saturday. After resuming on 1/50, Smith made 101 as the visitor made 9/234 in pursuit of Glen Iris’s 146.

Hussey leads Prahran onslaught BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au DAVID Hussey hammered 88 from only 72 balls to head up a Prahran batting masterclass in the Premier Cricket match against Geelong on Saturday. The True Blues racked up four half-centuries at Geelong Cricket Ground, to race to 6/368 in 87 overs. The home side faced four overs at the end of the day and will resume at 1/16 on day two.

With Prahran welcoming back Hussey and Geelong fielding his Bushrangers teammate, Aaron Finch, the teams were sweating on the toss. And when it Prahran’s way, the True Blues gleefully took the chance to bat first. Adam Bull and Dan Salpietro took the early shine off the ball and then posted an impressive opening stand of 131 to give Prahran’s strong middle order plenty of freedom. Bull was first out for 85 off 113 balls and new man Simon De Bolfo

kept the runs flowing as Geelong’s bowlers struggled to find the right length. Salpietro was out for a watchful 56 but that merely brought Hussey to the crease and he bludgeoned the attack to all parts of the ground with nine fours and two sixes. De Bolfo made 40 and Jack Taylor a stylish 61 and some late hitting from Stephen Seymour (28) gave Prahran the opportunity to declare and put Geelong in. The tactic worked well, as Rhys Adams found the edge of Michael

Condy’s bat and Hussey held the catch at second slip. Geelong elected not to send Finch in late in the day and the in-form batsman will most likely bat when the first wicket falls on Saturday. Prahran coach Andrew Walton said he felt his team was in a strong position. “It was just a solid, organised batting effort,” he said. “A lot of credit has to go to Adam Bull and Dan Salpietro. It was an outstanding opening partnership.’’ Scoreboard, Page 30

■ BREAK BACK Malvern Baseball Club returned from the break to notch a 7-1 over Doncaster B at the weekend. Malvern continued its good form against Doncaster, notching its third win of the season.

ARIS HATZIS

Wandering Wanderers MELBOURNE Wanderers’ batting woes returned on the weekend when they failed to chase down a small total from Carnegie South in the Quiney Shield. After bowling Carnegie out for 150 and advancing to 0/12 overnight, Wanderers were bowled out for just 104 at Fawkner Park to slump to their third defeat in the opening four rounds. Wanderers were in early trouble early when Clint Peloso retired on his overnight score of five and skipper Luke Hesketh was out cheaply. Opener Matt McBryde (17) was joined by Ben Toyne (12) and they put on 22 before McBryde was out, sparking a collapse of four wickets for six runs. The middle order was wiped out and the to the total on 45 when the batsmen fell. It was always going to be hard for the Wanderers to come back from there, but Phil Toyne (25), Greg Arnott (14) and Manny Lagman (14) added some respectability to the total. Wanderers, who made the finals in 2011, were eventually bowled out in the 52nd over and sit ninth on the ladder with just one win. They will try to get their season back on track against fourthplaced Brighton Union this week.

■ BOWLED OVER Melbourne lost its second premier bowls match of the season on the weekend, going down to Essendon. Essendon was able to snatch the win 12-75 to 6-68 for the upset. ■ GET WRITE IN The VAFA is looking for scribes for its Amateur Footballer publication.

TAKE THAT: Yarraville’s Alex Hewet lifts Malvern bowler Ajay Bhatt to the boundary in his innings of 77

Malvern feels the heat after flying start MALVERN demolished the top half of Yarraville’s batting then spent the rest of the day chasing the ball as the Sub District match did a complete about-face on Saturday. After the visitors won the toss and batted at Malvern City Oval, three wickets to Ajay Bhatt (3/36), one to Will Kiernan and a run out saw Yarraville slump to 2/0 then 5/12 before left-hander Alex Hewet and Tim McRae combined for an inningssaving partnership of 170. The stand was eventually broken

when Hewet was dismissed by Monto Perera for a stylish 77, while McRae fell just short of his ton with a top score of 95. Some late hitting from Ryan Cox (26) and Nick Parish (16) pushed Yarraville to 8/245 off its 80 overs, so Malvern will need to bat well on day two to win for the first time this season. Malvern captain Simon Conway said he couldn’t fault his bowlers’ early effort. “The deck f lattens out pretty

quickly at Malvern and you’ve got to cash in on that first 10-15 overs, which we did,” Conway said. “To their credit they batted well but I think we stuck to the task really well.” After being rolled for 89 last week, the pressure is now on Malvern’s batsmen. “It’s three an over,” Conway said. “We struggled last week but batting was pretty good in the first two matches. “If we bat well we’ll likely win it.”

■ TRY FOR THE CANNONS Victorian Premier League soccer club Oakleigh Cannons will hold trials for its 2013 under-21 side. Former National Soccer League player Sam Poutakidis will coach the side and oversee the trials, at Scotchmans Run Reserve on Monday, November 26. Details: oakleighcannonsfc.com.au. ■ T20 CASH-RAISER Prahran Cricket Club will play a T20 match against Eildon Park on Tuesday, November 13, to raise money for the Movember Foundation. Entry to the match, at Eildon Park’s ground, is free. ■ REWARD FOR COACH De La Salle’s Michael Brown is the VAFA junior coach of the year after leading the club’s under19s to premiership success.
