Former councillor CLIFFORD HAYES wants to see growth and development become federal election issues

NEWSMAKER

CLIFFORD HAYESWHAT I LOVE ABOUT BRIGHTON:

The beach, the parks, the tree-lined streets, the character andcharm of the houses, privategardens, public buildings and thehistory of Brighton.WHAT I’D CHANGE: Betterplanning. I would like to stop thecontinual push for high densityand more and more populationgrowth.

PROFILE

Development in Bayside isgetting out of control; it hasbeen out of control since the

beginning of state government-encouraged overdevelopment withVicCode, ResCode, Melbourne 2030and Melbourne@5 Million, allenforced by VCAT overridingcouncils.

I have been a member of BrightonResidents for Urban Protection(BRUP) since 2001. I refrained fromactive membership during my timeon the council and am now acommittee member andspokesman. We have more than 100members. We try to protect theurban environment and quality oflife. We do not oppose developmentin general but insist it should at leastmaintain, and hopefully contributeto, Brighton’s existing charm.

We haven’t had many wins. Thedevelopers usually win with thehelp of VCAT and state governmentswho control the planning scheme.But we have fought for heritageprotection with some success, andfor two-storey height controls inresidential areas.

I was elected to council on aplatform of fighting high-rise andlow-quality development and Ilobbied the state governmentpassionately for mandatory two-storey height controls in residentialareas and appropriate three andfour-storey controls in commercialareas. I achieved some concessionsfrom the government with the helpof some other councillors at thetime. I hope these promises areimplemented by the new counciland state government.

I enjoyed my time on councilimmensely. It is hard work and a bigcommitment. I believe I had an

impact in council, making changesto our planning scheme, particularlyin regard to height controls andhousing policy.

I was very disappointed to losethe election last October. Icampaigned hard on the issues ofoverdevelopment and preservationof open space. But there was astrong political campaign by apolitical party against independentsitting councillors, alleging councilmismanagement and promisinglower rates. They ran 10 candidates.

While council had someunpopular issues due to changes inhard rubbish collection andproposed closure of aged care andchildcare facilities, which Istrenuously opposed, I believe thatup to the time I left council was wellmanaged financially, was reducinglong-standing debt and keeping raterises comparatively low.

I am a member of the StablePopulation Party and have decidedto run in the next federal election.I’d like to see population growthbecome an election issue.

VOX POP DO YOU THINK BAYSIDE IS BECOMING OVERDEVELOPED?BARRY DAVIS, Brighton

No. I’m happy to have a supermarket[Coles] going up nearby. Bay Street needssomething. We don’t even have a bank. Afew more cafes will open.

DAVE DOYLE, Brighton

I don’t think so, there aren’t too manyproperties being developed near thebeach.

SANDY HUTCHISON, Brighton

Yes. It should be a residential family area.High-density units reduce street parkingand place strain on infrastructure.

BAYSIDE council’s grand plan forHampton Street has fizzled.

Community feedback has given aresounding ‘‘thumbs down’’ to pro-posals to create a plaza by closingoff Service Street and removing 20parking spaces in Hampton Streetfor more trees, seats and public art.

The plaza was one of threeoptions proposed in the HamptonStreet streetscape masterplan,which was developed in 2010-11after comprehensive communityconsultation. Option two involvedno plaza, a minor upgrade of Hamp-ton Street and the loss of two park-ing spaces, and option threeinvolved upgrading the footpathonly.

The council said it wanted tocreate a sense of place, plant moretrees and improve pedestrian safetywith the major upgrade, but com-munity surveys in December and

January revealed strong oppositionto the loss of car spaces and closureof Service Street.

The online survey received 805responses, but 203 of these werescreened from the count as theycame from the same IP address.More than 60 per cent opposed theplaza plans and opted for a basicupgrade of Hampton Street.

Of the 74 people surveyed at Safe-way on January 19, more than halfsaid they preferred the basicupgrade. Of 28 written responsesreceived, most opposed loss of carspaces and blocking off ServiceStreet. The survey results were to betabled on Tuesday at the council’sfirst ordinary meeting for the year.

Room remains at cemeteriesBY TERESA [email protected]

DESPITE forecasts that Bayside’scemeteries would be full by 2011,there is plenty of room at Chelten-ham Memorial Park and plots areavailable at the historic BrightonGeneral and Cheltenham Pioneercemeteries.

A Victoria Health Departmentstudy released last year estimatedthe number of available plotsremaining at 477 public cemeteriesacross the state at the start of 2011.

It found that Bayside had only 314plots left, which it predicted wouldleave a shortfall of 12,717 plots by2035.

But the Southern MemorialCemeteries Trust (SMCT), whichruns the Bayside cemeteries, saidCheltenham Memorial would not filluntil 2030 at the earliest.

Trust chief executive JonathanTribe said the 20-hectare ReserveRoad site had hundreds of plots andcrypts available, with more land tobe developed.

“SMCT recognises that the local

community has a long history withboth Cheltenham Memorial Parkand Brighton General Cemetery.

‘‘We are assessing our mainten-ance facilities to provide additionalland to cater for the ongoing needsof the local community,” Mr Tribesaid.

The Health Department reportforecast that almost half of Mel-bourne’s cemeteries would be fullby 2035, and many well before thattime. Many are already closed tonew burials or have a few plotsremaining.

However, new and largercemeteries, such as BunurongMemorial Park in Dandenong North,will meet demand beyond 2035.

The state government is review-ing all public cemeteries in Victoria.In other states, grave sites are leasedfor only 25 or 50 years.

In Victoria for now, graves are forperpetuity and cremation intermentfor 25 years or perpetuity.

Since opening in 1933, more than55,000 burials or cremation inter-ments have taken place at Chelten-ham Memorial.

One step closerto school dreamBY BRIDGET [email protected]

THE push for a new state second-ary school in Beaumaris will movea step closer this week when a ref-erence group set up to advise theeducation minister meets for thefirst time.

The group, established by theDepartment of Education and EarlyChildhood Development, willinclude Sandringham College prin-cipal Allen McAuliffe, college coun-cil president Ron Wakefield and aschool councillor, as well as gov-ernment representatives.

Sandringham College’s ReserveRoad campus is the proposed sitefor the school.

The Sandringham College coun-cil voted to separate the Beaumariscampus from its other campuses –Holloway Road and Bluff Road – inAugust last year.

The reference group will commis-sion a consulting firm to conduct

a feasibility study for the newschool and the school council wantsdetails of the feasibility study madepublic.

Mr McAuliffe said he expectededucation minister Martin Dixon tomake a decision on the new schoolby the end of first term.

A Department of Education andEarly Childhood Developmentspokeswoman said the study wouldbe completed in time for parents todecide on a school for their childrenin 2014.

But Mr Wakefield said he waspleased the department had estab-lished the reference group. “It’sencouraging that they are movingon this right now,” he said.

Council may prune reward money for tree vandal whistle-blowersBY TERESA [email protected]

A VIGILANT neighbour who repor-ted a Brighton tree vandal is claim-ing a $20,000 reward – but may endup with only a fraction of that.

Last March, John Langton-Bunkerwas fined $8000 plus $12,000 in

costs for chopping off branches of acoastal banksia that was blocking hissea view in Martin Street.

The maximum fine for cuttingdown trees is $146,568.

Four members of one family andanother resident witnessed the van-dalism on Boxing Day afternoon in2010. Two took photos and one

shot footage, which was used inevidence in the council’s first suc-cessful prosecution of tree vandal-ism.

One member of the family isclaiming the maximum reward of$20,000 for reporting tree vandal-ism, but council officers haverecommended that the five wit-

nesses share $6640 – only $1328each.

Councillors were to vote on theissue on Tuesday.

Council arborists valued the treeat $5800 and said it might need to bereplaced at some stage because ofthe damage done.

The council introduced its tree

vandalism and reward policy in2011.

The council is under no legal obli-gation to offer a reward but hopes itwill be a deterrent.

Rewards are funded from thecouncil’s amenity protection depart-ment’s investigations budget, notfrom the general council budget.

Park upgrade plan divides groupsBY BRIDGET [email protected]

TUG OF WAR Bayside council is developing a masterplan for Cheltenham Parkbut there are tensions between the cricket club and a friends group

CHELTENHAM Park’s native vegeta-tion could be under threat if thelocal cricket club is allowed toexpand its facilities, claim conserva-tionists.

The claims come as Bayside coun-cil calls for community input fromuser groups to develop a masterplanfor the 12-hectare park.

Roughly half the park is desig-nated as a f lora and fauna reserveand the remaining area has twoovals for ‘‘active use’’. The park’s pri-mary users are the Southside DogSchool, Hampton Junior SoccerClub and Cheltenham Park CricketClub. Friends of Cheltenham Parktake care of the conservation area.

Cheltenham Park Cricket Clubsecretary Hamish Bertram said hisgroup had been discussing with thecouncil a facility upgrade and theclearing of “excessive under-growth” around the two ovals.

But Friends of Cheltenham Park

co-ordinator Valerie Tyers said anyclearing in the park would be “inap-propriate” and the ovals werealready “encroaching on thereserve”.

Mr Bertram said any upgrade ofcricket club facilities would not beexcessive and the club acknowl-edged the balance between activeand passive use of the park. “[Ourplans] are appropriate and our clubhas grown in the past nine years.”

City strategy director Shiran Wick-ramasinghe said the council wouldreview community feedback fromthe past 10 years and incorporate itwithin current policy to produce afinal plan.

The council created a draft ma-sterplan for the park in 2002 butendorsed a second draft plan inNovember 2012 after the park wasclassified as an area of “municipaland regional significance” in theBayside Open Space Strategy.

Penguins protected from revampBY LISA [email protected]

ST KILDA’S penguin colony is underclose watch as an overhaul of theharbour gets underway.

Work has commenced on theRoyal Melbourne Yacht Squadron’s$6.5 million extension of the StKilda breakwater, where a1200-strong Little Penguin colonyhas been residing between the rockssince the 1970s. As well as improv-

ing safety and protection for recre-ational boats in St Kilda Harbour, theupgrade is expected to providemore penguin nesting places.

Volunteer group Earthcare StKilda, which monitors the health ofthe animals, is keeping the seabirdsunder close scrutiny to ensure theyremain safe while constructionworks are carried out.

Earthcare St Kilda penguinresearch co-ordinator Zoe Hogg saida team of 20 volunteers had been

drafted in to carry out early morningmonitoring of the penguins.

‘‘We are going out at 6am everymorning to monitor the area inwhich the new rocks will be placedand we remove any penguins thatare still sleeping,’’ she said.

The squadron has scheduled theworks so they do not coincide withthe penguins’ breeding cycles. MsHogg said she was confident therewould be no interference.

‘‘The breeding cycle won’t start

until August, so it will be unlikelythat construction is still underway,’’she said. ‘‘But if it is, we will cope.’’

A $7.5 million plan to create anew 250-berth marina facility is alsobeing carried out by the yachtsquadron and Parks Victoria, withthe state government injecting$1.2 million into upgrade works atSt Kilda Pier as part of the project.

Those funds will be used torenew the timber jetty structureleading to the marina.

Golf courserun-off fearsBY ALANA [email protected]

AN ENVIRONMENTAL grouphas warned a golf coursedevelopment near the offtake toSugarloaf Reservoir has thepotential to affect the quality ofdrinking water for1.5 million Melburnians.

Planning Minister MatthewGuy has approved anamendment in the Yarra Rangesplanning scheme that clears theway for Eastern Golf Club torelocate and build a new courseat Yering Gorge.

The decision has angeredenvironmentalists, who havecampaigned for the past twoyears against the course,arguing there is a risk ofchemical run-off contaminatingthe drinking water supply.

Friends of the Earthspokesman Anthony Amis saidthe location was ‘‘totallyinappropriate’’ for a golf course.

‘‘Not only does the site floodregularly as it is located on afloodplain, the course plans touse over 30 pesticides,’’ he said.‘‘Why would anyone evenentertain notions of using thesesubstances in such closeproximity to a major city’sdrinking water supply?’’

Eastern Golf Club generalmanager Ben Telley said the$49 million course had beenapproved by the Department ofSustainability and Environmentand Melbourne Water.

‘‘The development includes11 hectares of wetlands, 30,000trees planted and 400,000understorey species,’’ he said.

Car tinting levels drive safety fearsIN THE DARK: Former VicRoadsvehicle safety manager Bob Gardner

BY BRIDGET [email protected]

STEPH

ENM

CK

ENZIE

BEACH Road cyclists and a formerVicRoads safety manager havebacked a push to impose stricterrestrictions on window tinting.

Opposition transport spokesmanLuke Donnellan said lives werebeing put at risk by state laws thatpermitted driver side windows to betinted to a level allowing just 35 percent visible light transmission.

“It is in many instances literallyimpossible for a pedestrian, bikerider or the like to make (eye) con-tact with a driver,” Mr Donnellan

told the state legislative assemblylast year.

He called for new laws that wouldraise minimum light transmissionlevels to 70 per cent.

Transport Minister Terry Muldersaid the government would notchange the law but would “monitorthe situation”.

“VicRoads is not aware of anycrash statistics correlating the cur-rent level of allowed tinting with asignificant increase in road safetyrisk,” he said.

But Marcel Lema, from the BeachRoad Cyclist lobby group, and for-mer VicRoads vehicle safety man-

ager Bob Gardner support MrDonnellan’s arguments. Mr Lemasaid making eye contact withdrivers was part of the “safety sur-vival tool kit” cyclists, pedestrianand motorcyclists used to avoid col-lisions with cars.

“You need to make sure the driveris looking at your direction,” he said.

Mr Gardner opposed changes tostate laws in 1998 that allowed win-dows other than the front wind-screen to have a 35 per cent lighttransmission level.

“It’s elementary that a lack of vis-ion causes crashes,” Mr Gardnersaid.


Construction begins on the St. Kilda Harbour Upgrade!

Our iconic seafront has long been the lure for locals and visitors alike, and work has already begun on a brilliant new upgrade that will increase all-weather safety and improve access, whether on the water or the pier and new walkways.

Along with the extension of the existing rock breakwater, RMYS is building a state-of-the-art 250 berth fl oating marina with pens up to 20 metres. A handful of 20 year leases are still available at extremely competitive prices, but you’ll need to act quickly if you want to snap one up. Short term rental opportunities are also available.

■ GET RUBBISH RIGHTOne of the single biggest issues atthe last council election was that ofthe hard-rubbish collection. Thisresulted in a clutch of newcouncillors being elected whoargued for a change back to the bi-annual system. Since then nothinghas happened.

Every day the beautiful streets ofour suburb are blighted by piles ofdebris sitting there for weeks. It ishaving a significant negativeenvironment impact and increasedhealth and safety concerns.

Our streets are becoming a tip,and property values will decline. Wedon’t need a review by councilmanagement in March, we needaction now to get rid of this ill-conceived, downright stupid policy.

Councillors, do your job!Trevor Watkin / Hampton

■ KILL THAT IDEAIn response to Desmond Bellamy(‘‘Choose Vegan’’, RL Letters,February 6) . My father has workedon the killing floor of an abattoir for

40 years. Not only is he the mostgentle and kind man I have known,he is hard working and a lover of allanimals, like most of his co-workers.

To say abattoir workers tend to beviolent is a gross stereotype. Sure,the work is not glamorous but theseworkers pride themselves in killingan animal as humanely and quicklyas possible, not for pleasure or fun.

It is a not a ‘‘dirty job’’ as you callit, but a clean and methodical task.

I urge you to visit an abattoir togain a different perspective.

■ BETTER OFF VEGANDesmond Bellamy rightly condemnsthe cruelty in Australianslaughterhouses and urges readersto adopt a vegan diet (‘‘Choosevegan’’, RL Letters February 6).

A recent study by OxfordUniversity, published in theAmerican Journal of ClinicalNutrition, found that vegetarianshad a 32 per cent lower risk offalling ill or dying from heartdisease.

The research was funded byCancer Research UK and theMedical Research Council. Thestudy, the biggest of this type, ranfor 11 years and involved 44,500people.

The global trend watcher,thefoodpeople, also did researchpredicting a 50 per cent surge invegetarianism in the UK.

It is little wonder when suchluminaries as the now-slim BillClinton extol the health benefits of avegan lifestyle.

Why wouldn’t a vegan diet catchon? It is cheaper than meat anddairy, it is good for the animals and ithas proven health and environmentbenefits.

LOCAL FEATURE

In case you haven't noticed, Bayside is in the grip of a building boom. It's forecast to peak in

2014 but Hampton and Highett are peaking now.

From the bay to the Nepean Highway, new housing, from dual occupancy to 400-dwelling mini villages, are on the rise or in the pipeline.

Building is forecast to taper slightly to 2019 then settle to steady growth up to 2031. By then Bayside is expected to have 45,658 dwellings, up from the current estimated 39,000, and 11,000 more people will call Bayside home. The total population is forecast to be 108,375 people by 2031 (it’s currently about 97,400).

According to Bayside Council, which uses fi gures crunched by Melbourne company Forecast.id – Sandringham and Brighton are growth hot spots, with at least 3300 more dwellings due to be built by 2031. Forecasts estimate there will be 1825 newhouses, units or apartments for Sandringham and 1484 in Brighton.

Over the next two decades, the number of Highett dwellings will grow by 884; Hampton by 710, Brighton East by 624, Hampton

East by 452, Beaumaris by 291 and Black Rock by 141.

Sandringham – in particular the former industrial areas along Bay Road – is on track for major growth, with some of the biggest developments in Bayside to begin constructing in the suburb next year, including the 453-dwelling Sandyhill apartments. A three-tower, 321-dwelling development is due for 212-216 Bay Road in 2017-18, and 115 dwellings will go up at 218 Bay Road in 2019-20.

One of the biggest

developments in Brighton is the 108-apartment complex The Warleigh, in Warleigh Grove, a small street undergoing intense residential development. Nearby, on Bay Street 380 Degrees – 95 apartments with a new Coles supermarket – is rising fast. It replaces the former Nancarrow’s grocery store that was part of an old strip of shops on the site.

In Church Street, 38 dwellings on the site of the former Rumbalara Nursing Home are planned for completion by 2014 and 31 dwellings at 49-51 Bay Street in 2014-15.

Hampton is in its peak building

period, with the 57-dwelling Lido Apartments in Willis Lane nearing completion. Twenty-seven dwellings are almost built in Crisp Street and 16 townhouses are planned for 76-80 Fewster Road.

This is also the peak building year in Highett, with hundreds of residents ready to move in once their apartments are built, notably the 126 apartments in the Vantage development, part of the new Safeway supermarket development at the corner of Highett and Graham roads. Up on the Nepean Highway, near the Moorabbin Justice Centre, the residential towers Kingston Park are almost built.

But the biggest development planned for Highett is the 400 dwellings set to be built on the CSIRO site on Graham Road. The CSIRO owns the nine-hectare site but is preparing to sell it for redevelopment as a mixed-use ‘‘village’’. Another development, with 270 dwellings, is planned for Jack Road, Cheltenham between 2023 and 2031.

Development is a hot-potato issue across Melbourne but particularly in Bayside, where catering for population growth can affect the very assets that attract new

residents: the leafy suburbs, heritage buildings and village atmosphere of the area’s shopping strips.

Brighton Residents for Urban Protection acting president Richard Rozen says the group doesn’t oppose development, per se. ‘‘But we do oppose inappropriate development – and Warleigh Grove in Brighton North is one of the worst examples of overdevelopment in Bayside.’’

In fact, former mayor Clifford Hayes, who lost his council seat last year, says it was the battle over the Warleigh development that impelled him to stand for council in 2005.

‘‘Developers, with the help of VCAT, are exploiting planning schemes at cost to all residents,’’ he says.

‘‘It’s a sad story to see suburbs like Brighton changing so dramatically. Development should be sensitive to the area – not impose visual bulk that is so out of place. Not to mention all the parking problems that these huge developments create.

‘‘VCAT needs to be reformed so developments like these in Warleigh Grove can’t happen.’’

Boom times in Bayside

Group agrees that Bayside council needs to protect the area’s local character.

‘‘Developers need to be part of the solution to the infrastructure burden created by the higher-density developments they build,’’ group vice-president Cheryl May says.

‘‘Higher density across Melbourne is a reality in restricting urban sprawl, which is highly undesirable and costly on many fronts. While residential towers are not the way to go in Bayside, we have to play our part.’’

May says her group also supports:• Higher density housing built

close to public transport and activity centres to reduce traffi c congestion, parking problems and car use.

• An improved, more extensive and better co-ordinated public transport system.

• Maintaining and improving open spaces and parklands and ensuring developers are required to make adequate green space in their projects.

• Sustainable and highly energy effi cient designs for all new buildings.May says ‘‘high density offers great

opportunities for innovative design and materials incorporating water harvesting, collection of renewable power (solar/wind), high thermal performance and more. This will reduce both the carbon footprint and amenity costs for residents.’’

Last year, the council adopted its Bayside Housing Strategy, which sets out how the council will plan for growth over the next two decades. It is proposing to amend its planning scheme in line with this strategy. Community consultation is due to start soon.

MEET THE DEVELOPERS

Two key players transforming parts of Brighton, Sandringham and Hampton are developers and Bayside residents Jonathan Hallinan and Magnus Floden.

Mr Floden’s Blueprint Developments is building the controversial Sandyhill apartments on 2.4 hectares of former industrial land at 220-228 Bay Road, Sandringham. More than 1000 residents, as well as Bayside council, objected to the project's size. Blueprint plans to build 453 apartments in three buildings fi ve to eight storeys high. Construction will take place in three stages. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal approved the project in 2010. Construction has started on the $50 million fi rst stage and is due for completion in mid-2014. The development includes a gym, swimming pool, convenience store and cafe, a medical centre and potentially a childcare facility.

‘‘People need more diverse styles of accommodation these days and Sandyhill, being a former industrial area next to heathland and not abutting traditional homes, will provide such options,’’ Mr Floden says.

Jonathan Hallinan’s BPM Corp has built many Bayside developments over the past 15 years and is about to start the 38-dwelling Church Street Hill, on the old Rumbalara nursing home site at 171 Church Street, Brighton. Mr Hallinan says developing in Bayside gives him the opportunity to showcase ‘‘beautiful architecture’’. ‘‘Bayside in 2013 is different to what it was 50 years ago and like all suburbs in Melbourne, it will continue to change to meet the demands and changes of society,’’ he says.

‘‘Bayside council has a clear vision with parameters in its planning schemes identifying areas of preferred development and areas of minimal change to refl ect and accommodate this growth.

"Bayside is well positioned to accommodate the demand from buyers wanting the convenience of walking to local retail strip shopping and public transport.

"Our research indicates that in excess of 80 per cent of our developments are sold to Bayside residents either upgrading or downsizing, so we will continue to develop so long as there is demand.’’

NOW AND THEN

Originally known as the Brighton Theatre, this cinema was built in 1922 with a

classic Victorian-style facade and large balcony. The projection room was in the stalls and windows at the rear of the balcony meant it was possible to look out to Bay Street.

When Hoyts Theatres took control in 1932 the cinema’s walls were treated to improve the acoustics as

fi lm entered a new era of talkies. The cinema underwent further

renovations in 1941 when it became known as Hoyts Centre Brighton. Saturday matinees were popular with children and the cinema became a vital element of Brighton’s social life.

In 1981 the Brighton Bay Twin opened for business with a strong foreign fi lm policy in the newly

renovated cinema. Today Palace Cinemas leases the historic building.

LOCAL PROFILE

T hree days ago Sandra Levin was in Pondicherry, India, dancing, singing and working

with 120 orphans. Just four people look after them during the day and put them to sleep on the fl oor of their bedless rooms at night.

Today Levin is in the lush garden of her Brighton East home, counting her blessings and contemplating how else she can make a difference in people’s lives.

“It’s diffi cult, the contrast, because I have so much and I am so privileged yet I don’t need an eighth of what I have,’’ she says, gesturing to the interior of the house she bought 32 years ago.

“It highlights to me my major passion – to contribute to people and make a difference. I can’t see much that’s more important.’’

Levin already does more than most. She runs yoga volunteering retreats to India, where her travelling students do their global bit by helping the orphans and the gypsy community.

When in Melbourne, Levin, who has three grown-up children, runs yoga classes in her garden studio, tapping into 38 years of practice to

show her students that “we have a deep ability to heal ourselves if we give ourselves time to feel what’s happening in our bodies’’.

“I am trying to teach people that yoga is not just a set of postures on a mat,’’ she says.

“My challenge is to try and get people to see what they are doing in their everyday lives, on the yoga mat and off the yoga mat, that contributes to their neck, their knee, their mental issues.

“I’m encouraging people to do what they want to do now.’’

As a schoolgirl, Levin was steered her away from being an artist and into accounting. She tried her hand at bookkeeping and hated it.

When she was 14 she went to a yoga class with a friend. “I thought it was hilarious,” she said.

But she continued the practice as she went on to work in her mother’s travel business, and then continue in marketing.

She studied sculpture at RMIT, where she is doing honours this year, and fi nds it contrasts well with the technical Iyengar yoga.

Even so, she felt something was missing until she thought of

bringing together all the different things in her life.

The result, about three years ago, was the volunteer tour. And the bookkeeping has come in handy.

“I am very moved by it all and people who go with me love it,’’ Levin says. “My mother died when she was 51. Life can end at any moment.

“A lot of what has driven me is that life is for now. If there is any difference I can make I want to make it now, because this afternoon I might not be here.’’

The verdictMy two children were a bit hesitant to begin with. The water moves at a pretty rapid pace and there is a lot going on for the beginner. Thankfully there is at least one staff member each session patiently explaining the best way to get the most out of the wave. Eventually my children got the hang of it, and branded it the best experience of their recent holidays, conveniently forgetting Christmas.

The only gripe is that it took them almost two hours to have their allotted 10 runs, mostly due to selfi sh adults taking two runs in one go.

PRISCILLA MOCA

W hen Holocaust survivor Otto Frank found the diary of his daughter, Anne, he

couldn’t bring himself to read it. In time, he found the courage to open it, and then he couldn’t put it down. Realising the potency of her story, he decided the journal should be shared with the world.

Anne Frank’s story was just as compelling for Jayne Josem (pictured right), curator at the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Elsternwick. For three months, the museum will host Anne Frank – A History for Today, an international touring exhibition developed by the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

“It just draws you in,” Josem says of the story of a young girl and her family who lived in hiding for two years during the German occupation of the Netherlands.

“Even though she is a victim of the Holocaust, she has this voice – a voice that people engage with.”

The Diary of Anne Frank, a rite of passage for many young readers, recounts Frank’s teenage years hiding from the Nazis with her family behind her father’s offi ce before they were betrayed and sent to concentration camps. Otto Frank was the sole survivor.

The exhibition expands on Frank’s diary, putting her story into context and aiming to expose the human consequences of persecution and war.

As well as providing the historical details of the Holocaust, the exhibition shows that Frank’s story of hope and resilience continues to have global and individual relevance today.

“Anne Frank puts a human face to an inhumane experience and tragedy,” Josem says of the enlarged image of the girl’s face that forms the fi rst panel of the exhibition.

The exhibition’s guides are from a pool of trained volunteers. Most are in their 80s, and were teenagers or young children during the war. Many survived the Holocaust because, like Frank, they were hidden or helped by non-Jews.

“They have a personal

connection to Anne’s story,” Josem says. “Hearing that fi rst-person story is an important part of encountering history.”

The guides want to help educate another generation about the importance of valuing and respecting differences.

“This is a unique time when it is still possible to hear from survivors.”

FRANCES GRACE EVANS

PAUL and Joanna Evans are the proud parents of baby daughter Frances Grace. Their beautiful girl was born at the Sandringham

A sweet ceremony was the result of a surprise proposal for ELISSA and ADAM FARRUGIA

Just two days after settlement on their new apartment, Adam took Elissa by surprise and proposed.

‘‘I was in my tracksuit!’’ she says.The Elwood couple, who met

just over eight years ago at a friend’s 18th birthday party, were married at St James’ Church, Brighton. ‘‘The most memorable moment would have to have been exchanging our vows in the beautiful church,’’ says Elissa, who chose Maria Gonzales to design her wedding gown and the bridesmaids’ dresses.

The couple wanted their reception to be by the water and the Sandringham Yacht Club proved to be the ideal choice. ‘‘The fl oor-to-ceiling windows and amazing views of the bay made it the perfect location for us,’’ Elissa says.

Danielle Soccio sang at the church ceremony and the Soulbeats turned up the rhythm at the reception. Guests were treated to a lolly bar by the Candy Buffet and memories were captured with a photo booth.

The newlyweds honeymooned at Bora Bora, French Polynesia.

CHANGE OF DIRECTION: Former Collingwood footballer Shae McNamaraagreed to join Sandringham Sabres only moments after his AFL dream ended

SHAE McNamara wasn’t disappoin-ted for long when he learned hisAFL dream was over in Decemberlast year.

Fresh from a workout at the Sand-ringham Basketball Association’svast premises in Cheltenham, heread a text on his phone telling himhe hadn’t been selected in the pre-season draft.

It was at that point he ran intoVince Crivelli, general manager atthe association, which is home tothe SEABL’s Sandringham Sabres.

‘‘I showed Vince the phone, it wasstill lit, that’s how fresh the newswas,’’ McNamara says, laughing.

‘‘As long as the iPhone is lit for . . .that’s how long I was down in thedumps, going home, life sucks, allthat.

‘‘And then Vince said ‘Sorry tohear that, but we want you’, and Isaid ‘‘Yeah, alright’.’’

McNamara had been on Colling-

wood’s list since 2009, when he wastaken in the rookie draft with pick47.

He never made his senior debut— he played three NAB Cupmatches — and was delisted inAugust last year.

The pre-season draft was his lastchance because, as he says, ‘‘it wasAFL or bust. I wasn’t going to go andplay VFL or WAFL or anything else.’’

The opportunity with the Sabresarose after his delisting. BefriendingCrivelli, a Collingwood fan, hedecided that should he miss out onthe draft he would return to his ori-ginal sport.

McNamara grew up in Milwaukeeand played division one college bas-ketball with Marist College in NewYork before heading to Germany toplay for TSV Dachau Spurs for a sea-son.

He says he’s still a long way fromhis best as he transforms his body tosuit the rigours of the SEABL, onelevel below the NBL, but has noregrets from his time in football.

‘‘I can sleep at night,’’ he says. ‘‘Icouldn’t have done anything moreor anything better. I did everything Icould. At the very least now I knowhow to play footy.

‘‘Now it’s like learning a newsport again. I have up-and-downdays because my skill level is notthere but when we play five-on-fivethat’s when I can play the old mangame because I know the game andI know how to play.

‘‘It’s a challenge. But it’s fun andexciting and not many people get todo what I’m doing.

‘‘Maybe something else crazy willcome into my life or I’ll get anopportunity here or in Europe or I’llhang up the boots and start a newlife and get that white picket fence.’’

Home loss threatens Brighton’s place in the finalsA HOME loss to Melbourne onSaturday may have cost Brighton aposition in the finals of BowlsVictoria’s Premier Division.

Brighton has now dropped tofifth on the ladder, with six teamsfighting for the top four spots.

Brighton’s last regular-seasonmatch is a tough away game to theresurgent Bundoora RSL.

Coming up against heavyweightsMelbourne and needing a win,

Brighton won two of the four rinksbut went down by 11 shots.

The damage was done by Mel-bourne’s Australia alumnus DylanFisher, who crunched Todd Shan-non’s rink 27 shots to 14.

Lee Schraner lost by one whileAaron Wilson and John McCarron wonby one and two shots respectively.

Brighton coach Rob Huddle said theteam was below its best but was notdisgraced.

“It wasn’t a terrible performance,”he said.

“But they’ve just not been quite play-ing good enough bowls to put enoughpressure on the other side.

“The last few weeks they’ve beenplaying catch-up on the scoreboardand that really tests a player.

“Having said that we’ve been on thereceiving end of a few narrow losses.One mistake can be the difference be-tween a win and a loss.”

Despite the loss, Brighton’s fifth insix rounds, Huddle remained confidentof finals if they can beat Bundoora onSunday.

“It all comes down to this game andit’s a big ask,’’ he said.

‘‘But our aim this season was to notget relegated and we’ve done that.”

Several Brighton bowlers were com-peting in the Australian Open thisweek, and its four other teams all looklikely to play home finals.

Nurse looks after Wicks

BY DANIEL PAPROTH

TAKE THAT: Elsternwick century-maker Harrison Nurse smashes the ball to the boundary against Yarraville

ARIH

ATZIS

A CENTURY by Harrison Nurseensured Elsternwick has the edgeheading into day two of the Sub-District clash with Yarraville on Sat-urday.

Nurse scored a valuable 106 bat-ting at number six runs and shared acrucial 108-run stand for the eighthwicket with bowler Callum O’Neill(43).

It was a relief for Nurse, who hadscored just 108 in 10 previousinnings this season.

And it was relief for Elsternwick,which was 7/161 at ElsternwickPark, before the partnership.

Yarraville eventually bowled outthe home side for 274 and TimMcRae put in his best bowling per-formance for the season with 6-45.

ORMOND made 223 against Altona,the innings starting well with a41-run opening stand between skip-per Michael Hansen (57) and RohanWight (12).

From there Altona worked its wayon top, taking 7/78 to reduceOrmond to a meagre 7/119.

But Matthew Thomas and TomStait batted sensibly and calmly tosettle the innings, pushing the scoreto 198 before Thomas was caughtand bowled off Aaron Maynard for79 from 148 balls.

Stait, 26 not out off 75 deliveries,shared a valuable 25-run partnershipwith Dale Christie (18) for the lastwicket.COMPETITION heavyweights Mel-ton posted a big total against Brigh-ton, 8/295 from its 80 overs.

Unsurprisingly the innings was

spearheaded by captain MichaelAllen, who finally broke through forhis first century for the season.

The opener and wicketkeeper hasa mammoth 697 runs from 11innings this season at an average of77.4 but had been caught in his pre-vious two bats for 96 and 99.

His 142 at the top of the order setthe tone and he was well-supportedby Shane Harwood (35), David Kirk(32) and Jeremy Liddy (28).

Matt Crawley (5-74) and RyanSweeney (3-76) were the best forBrighton.CAULFIELD is 0/27 chasing Rox-burgh Park/Broadmeadows’ 172.

Roxburgh Park saved itself frommajor embarrassment when, at9/79, captain Mitch Streiff (92) andRhys Ashen (five not out) put on 95for the last wicket.
