Stars align in tribute to Luke

By Chris Brennan THE smiles returned in abundance to a sun-soaked Tyabb Reserve on Sunday as more than 4000 visitors gathered for a celebrity Twenty20 cricket game in honour of Luke Batty.

Dozens of celebrities and sports stars took to the field for the match, with Australian cricketer Matthew Wade proving the biggest hit of the day as he belted sixes into the enthusiastic crowd.

The star-studded celebrity team lists included cricketers Wade, Bryce McGain, Peter Handscomb, Scott Boland and Cassie Brock, AFL footballers Michael Hurley, Michael Hibberd and Arryn Siposs, actors Gary Sweet and Rhys Muldoon, and television personalities Anthony “Lehmo” Lehmann and Brett McLeod.

There were plenty more wellknown faces in the crowd lending their support to the cause, with organisers declaring the day “a stunning success”.

No one was more pleased with the overwhelming show of support than Luke’s mother Rosie Batty, who stayed for the duration of the event and thanked guests for making the day so special for Tyabb Cricket Club and broader community.

Ms Batty said her cricket-loving son, who played as a junior with the Tyabb club, would have been “chuffed” and that the match would help the healing process for his friends and teammates.

“The timing of this event is really important for his classmates, his teammates, and people who have been really saddened,” she said.

“This is a healing opportunity to bond.”

Luke, 11, was killed by his father Greg Anderson at the ground on 12 February following a regular weekly cricket training session. Anderson was fatally shot by police following the incident.

Tyabb Cricket Club president Sam Taranto said the event had been more successful than organisers ever could have hoped, with the crowd of 4000-

4500 more than double the number expected.

He said the match had been organised as a celebration of Luke’s life and “to put some smiles back on faces” following the tragedy.

Govt minister blames shire on CCTV

By Mike Hast A STATE government minister has criticised Mornington Peninsula Shire for delays in installing CCTV in Hastings.

A letter from the Minister for Crime Prevention Edward O’Donohue to shire CEO Michael Kennedy, seen by The News, is highly critical of a delay of nearly two and a half years.

Mr O’Donohue told Dr Kennedy the shire had failed to deliver its commitments for CCTV projects in Hastings, Mt Eliza and Mt Martha.

“I am very disappointed that after all of this time, and with multiple variations to your funding arrangements, council has still not been able to identify and resolve the necessary design issues to enable you to deliver these important projects,” Mr O’Donohue wrote.

The letter was sent to peninsula state MPs Neale Burgess (Hastings) David Morris (Mornington), and Martin Dixon (Nepean) as well as the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, and Western Port area councillor David Garnock.

The shire has also been dragging its heels on CCTV in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha.

Last month, The News reported the shire was blaming United Energy for the delay in Hastings (“Power play delays CCTV”, 18/3/14).

Cr Garnock said the CCTV system was supposed to be installed last October but United Energy said it was concerned about the 240-volt camera power supply wire making four of its collapsible, steel electricity poles unsafe in the event of a car accident.

“United Energy is worried its fran-

Blame game: The shire is blaming United Energy for delaying installation of CCTV cameras on its blue light poles in Hastings (left) but Minister for Crime Prevention Edward O’Donohue says the shire is responsible for the delay and has told it to lift its game.

gible poles could cause electrocutions,” he told The News. “The company seems to have different rules from other power companies, which allow CCTV cameras on their poles.”

United Energy’s communications manager Stuart Allott said the ball was in the shire’s court as the two parties agreed on two possible options at a meeting in March and it was now up to the shire to “determine the approach forward”.

Minister O’Donohue stated if United Energy was not prepared to allow cam-

eras on its poles “I expect the council to identify alternative options to ensure you deliver the commitments you have made”.

“I refer not just to your contractual agreement with the Department of Justice but, more importantly, to your commitment to the Hastings community [made] at the community safety forum following the tragic death of Mr [Dermot] O’Toole, that the project would be completed before Christmas in 2013,” Mr O’Donohue wrote.

The minister made a thinly veiled

threat near the end of his letter: “I note that council’s non-compliance with your current funding agreements may impact upon your eligibility for future funding from the Department of Justice and other government departments.”

The shire was given grants from the Department of Justice in October 2011 for the three CCTV projects.

In the lead-up to the 2010 state election, the Liberal-Nationals Coalition promised – and later delivered –$250,000 for Hastings and $60,000

each for Mt Eliza and Mt Martha.

Police support the CCTV projects.

Cameras will be linked to police stations for recording but will not be monitored 24/7.

Footage can be extracted and reviewed after incidents and also can be used in court.

The $250,000 Hastings CCTV system, which requires all nine cameras to be installed before it can be switched on, has been funded by the state government under its Community Crime Prevention Program.

Cameras will be installed near the foreshore skate park, on the corner of High and Salmon streets, in the car park behind Westernport Hotel, on the corner of High and Victoria streets, in the car park near Woollies supermarket and Aldi, in the Coles supermarket car park, outside Hastings police station, and in the Coles supermarket car park pointed at the taxi rank and bus stop in King St. The shire recently released a draft CCTV policy for public input.

“The purpose of the CCTV policy is to provide direction and guidance for the use of CCTV systems in public places for crime solving and crime prevention and the enhancement of public perception of safety,” the shire stated.

Point five may be instructive in explaining the delay: “[The policy will] guide the manner in which the shire seeks funding opportunities for CCTV systems to ensure that all costs are considered.”

Residents can comment on the policy until 22 April.

has been a favourite activity for pupils for 30 years.

Briars ranger Jarrod Ruch said activities offered hands-on learning opportunities on a wide range of topics such as indigenous culture, soil health, growing organic food, flora and fauna, and green energy.

“Students took part in activities according to their particular interests,

and chose from horticulture, water conservation, marine studies, ecology, farm animals, native fauna and flora, as well as community interest programs such as CFA and friends groups,” he said. “There were also more intense programs available for students under the themes wetlands, woodlands, indigenous culture and traditions, hands in the dirt, and green living.”

Advertise CEO’s job, says former MP

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy’s three-year contract expires next February and pressure is already mounting on councillors to advertise the position for the first time in a decade.

Councillors are obliged to tell the CEO if they intend to advertise his job six months before the contract expires next February.

Dr Kennedy, who holds a doctorate of business administration, will be 61 in June. He was given the top job in 1999 and has been reappointed four times, the most recent in August 2011 for three years with his contract running from February 2012 to February 2015.

He was given a five-year term in 1999 after coming to the shire from inner-city Boroondara (Kew, Hawthorn and Camberwell).

In 2004 he was reappointed for another five years without the job being advertised.

In 2009 he was given a three-year contract, 2010 to 2012, again without the job being advertised, and again in 2011 for 2012 to 2015 with no advertising.

The past two contracts being awarded without the job being advertised have generated strong criticism of councillors from community groups and individuals.

Mt Eliza resident Robin Cooper, the former state MP for Mornington and Transport Minister in the Kennett government, has been among the most outspoken critics.

Mr Cooper was a councillor on the Shire of Mornington 1972-85 before

Coach, doctor and an OAM to boot MICHAEL Kennedy came to the Mornington Peninsula in 1993 and served one year as CEO of the Shire of Hastings prior to the Kennett government’s 2004 forced amalgamation of 210 Victorian municipalities.

After amalgamation he was CEO of City of Boroondara (formerly Kew, Camberwell and Hawthorn) from 1995 to 1999 before returning to the peninsula in 1999 to become boss of the new “super” shire formed from Hastings, Flinders and Mornington.

Prior to local government he was in the shipping industry, as a director and general manager of Coastal ExpressLine and as a senior manager at ANL. A Bachelor of Business, he started a doctorate in business administration while at Boroondara, but set study aside after becoming shire CEO. He completed the course in March 2002.

Since entering local government, Dr Kennedy has pursued a wide range of allied interests. He has been on the committee of MAV Insurance (Municipal Association of Victoria), is a Victoria fellow of the Institute of Public Administration Australia, a fellow of the Institute of Company Directors, and a fellow of Local Government Professionals.

He was founding chairman of Lifesaving Victoria and an independent director.

Dr Kennedy was awarded an OAM on Australia Day 2009 “for service to health organisations, lifesaving and the Mornington Peninsula Shire as CEO”.

At the time, he said the award was the result of a team effort.

“My job is to facilitate change. It’s about listening to the council and the community, and working out what they want to achieve and working to see that is achieved,” said the man known to his staff as “the Coach”.

Mike Hast

serving in the Victorian Parliament 1985-2006. He keeps a close eye on local and state politics, and has been a critic since 2008 of the CEO’s job not being advertised.

In a letter to the editor in this issue (see Page 6), Mr Cooper says the council made the “extraordinary decision” in 2011 to reappoint Dr Kennedy “without bothering to publicly advertise the position and test the market to

see whether there is a better qualified person interested”.

Mr Cooper described the past two contract processes as “disgraceful” when he spoke to The News last week.

“The councillors who reappointed Dr Kennedy in 2009 and 2011 are his cheer squad; members of a club,” he said.

“Not only have they done that [reappointed the CEO] but also they

did so in secret at a closed special purposes meeting where councillors were warned that they were forbidden to divulge how the vote to reappoint was conducted and which way each councillor voted.”

Mr Cooper claimed councillors were gagged about discussing the matter by the threat of legal action.

“It is to be hoped that this time there will not be a repeat of this disgraceful performance.

“Whether you are pro- or anti-Dr Kennedy, the council should find who’s available.

“Michael Kennedy believes he has the CEO’s job for as long as he wants it, but testing the market is in the best interests of ratepayers.”

At the most recent council meeting – held in Somerville on Monday last week – Tyabb resident David Lines asked the council if Dr Kennedy’s job would be advertised this time “to test the market for the best candidate to fill this position”.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the council was “yet to determine a position in regards to the chief executive officer, and notice of that will come in due course”.

Dr Kennedy was not at the meeting, having flown to Europe two days earlier for a two-week holiday, which councillors were not told about until after he had left.

The shire’s CEO is the secondlongest serving council boss in the region and the second-highest paid after City of Casey chief Mike Tyler.

Dr Kennedy receives more than $340,000 a year plus benefits including a car and superannuation.

Winemaker wins gold in London PENINSULA winemaker Circe was last week awarded a gold medal at a prestigious international wine competition in London.

Circe’s 2012 Hillcrest Road pinot noir was awarded top honours at the inaugural Drinks Business Pinot Noir Masters competition.

Established in 2010 by Dan Buckle, previously chief winemaker at Domain Chandon, and Aaron Drummond, formerly of Yering Station and Mount Langi Ghiran, Circe has three small vineyards in Red Hill.

Mr Buckle said the 2012 Circe Hillcrest Road pinot noir had been singled out by a “tough tasting panel comprised of eight Masters of Wine” and was the only gold medal awarded to an Australian winemaker at the competition.

“This tremendous result means a lot for us and hopefully is a further boost for the Mornington Peninsula to be getting such great recognition globally,” Mr Buckle said.

“The win follows a gold for our 2012 Circe pinot noir at the 2013 Royal Melbourne Wine Show.

Hopefully this will further build the excitement around high quality Mornington Peninsula and Australian pinot noir.”

He said the peninsula was proving to be an ideal region for growing highquality pinot noir.

Circe’s Hillcrest Road vineyard, a small and dry-grown chardonnay and pinot noir vineyard planted in 1993, was the winemaker’s first vineyard. Yields from the vineyard’s deep red, volcanic basalt soil are kept deliberately low at 1.5 tonnes an acre.

LETTERS Advertise CEO’s job MANY ratepayers on the Mornington Peninsula would be interested to learn the term of the council’s CEO Michael Kennedy ends in February 2015 and this will no doubt mean councillors will be giving consideration over the next few months to how the job will be filled.

On the past two occasions, the council has made the extraordinary decision to reappoint the incumbent without bothering to publicly advertise the position and test the market to see whether there is a better qualified person interested.

Not only have they done that but also they did so in secret at a closed special purposes meeting where councillors were warned that they were forbidden to divulge how the vote to reappoint was conducted and which way each councillor voted.

I understand that councillors were told that any of them who failed to follow this directive would be subjected to legal action. It is to be hoped that this time there will not be a repeat of this disgraceful performance.

Ratepayers have a right to know how senior council officers are appointed and how much they are paid both directly and indirectly.

If it is good enough for us to know such things about our MPs and public servants then there is no justification whatsoever for keeping such matters secret at a local government level.

A good dose of transparency is the medicine the shire council needs, and the sooner the better.

Robin Cooper, Mt Eliza

A ‘people’s CEO’ IN the early 1990s, the Victorian government gave almost overwhelming power to council CEOs.

This was to the detriment of elected councillors and the citizens they represented. Ever since, councillors have steadily lost their local representation role and been squeezed into the corporate structure of local government.

The first education lesson for new councillors is about governance and where they fit it. The second lesson is “do not attempt to challenge the officers”. After all they are very well paid (how did that happen?) professionals, and councillors, well councillors are just like the rest of us.

These days, by and large, councillors mainly fall into line. Challenging officer decisions under the new corporate structure is just too difficult.

Where once we needed ordinary citizens as councillors to challenge the high end of town, including developers and real estate agents on our local councils, we now need to challenge the elected pussy cats and unelected senior officers who think they know what is best for us.

Perhaps the solution is to look for “people CEOs”, top dogs who will look after our interests, champion the rights of the public and give no favours to the influential and privileged.

Maybe then questionable economic decisions like a swimming complex on the foreshore at Rosebud (no council has ever run a pool anywhere near a profit) would be shelved and our community assets not sold off to pay for mistakes.

I can already hear readers saying “tell him he’s dreaming”.

David Gill (former shire president Shire of Mornington), Balnarring

Landfill angst MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s plan to halve waste going to landfill is intriguing. In my standardsized suburban household, I have

accumulated about a cubic metre of tinder dry leaves, clippings and small branches over the dry summer. This will have to go to landfill.

I also have an incinerator with which I could progressively burn off this fire hazard were it not prohibited by a law recently passed by the council for no apparent reason.

Strangely, I am allowed to burn off every weekend during October, when everything is green, as a fire preventive measure.

I surely must be living in La La Land.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Landfills barbaric SO the shire council wants to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

Landfills are a backward and barbaric way of dealing with waste.

There are better ways of managing waste in the 21st century.

More recycling plants with better equipment for processing recyclable waste are required to deal with this area of waste disposal.

Large incinerators that can deal with all non-recyclable waste are a good idea. The gasses and emissions produced can be scrubbed out so only a very small proportion would enter the atmosphere.

The heat produced could generate green electricity and create a carbon neutral position.

Some sewerage treatment plants in the United States send their sludge to landfills, which accelerate the decomposing process of garbage.

Methane gas produced is then extracted to generate green electricity.

As far as wasting food goes, one third of all food produced in the world is wasted, mainly by rich countries like Australia; that’s just the way it is.

We can’t compost all our food

waste. Where would we put it all, especially for people living in units?

Educating people about what rubbish is actually recyclable is the council’s responsibility and also the state’s.

Patrick Geeves, Somerville

be virtually the same as the foreshore site.

The report states: “On advice from council’s specialist aquatic centre planners (SGL Pty Ltd), the analysis in this report proceeded on the basis that the SPA would achieve roughly the same visitation (and therefore generate the same revenues as well as health and recreation benefits) regardless of whether it is located on the foreshore site or the Wannaeue Place land.”

So the shire has fed the community a load of rubbish for five years. A foreshore site is not the only one that will meet the shire’s success requirements.

Those people who say the pool should go on the foreshore are vandals and simply want to destroy our foreshore for little if any benefit.

Dr Alan Nelsen, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association

Police traffic jam I’M disappointed with the police for creating a major traffic jam on Peninsula Link on Monday 24 March at about 11am. The traffic was forced into one lane and banked back for about two kilometres.

While I agree we should be removing unlicensed drivers and unregistered vehicles from our roads, the fact is we were crawling along at less than walking pace and if I wanted to hide from the camera it would have been so easy at this slow pace.

There were a lot of police waiting to grab vehicles but I didn’t see one pulled over or off the road. They should have left the traffic alone and used patrol cars to pull over any suspects. This would have allowed processing of most if not all vehicles and caused minimum disruption.

David Milne, Mt Eliza

Yaringa marina THE proposal to expand Yaringa marina into a vast, commercial complex and residential development is mind-boggling in its total disregard for the irredeemable damage that it will inflict on the whole of Western Port.

Beyond the usual sweeteners of potential job creation, I can see no other motivation for this to go ahead.

This is another example of the desire for profit overriding the ever more desperate need for us to leave a legacy of some natural environment for future generations.

Chris Duffy, Balnarring

SPA sites equal FOR five years Mornington Peninsula Shire has been saying a Rosebud foreshore location for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) is the only site that meets all of the success criteria of site size, visibility to passing traffic, attractiveness of the site and the only seven day a week bus route.

How wrong they are.

The recently released reports prepared by the shire’s own consultants state that the patronage for the Rosebud Central shopping centre site in Wannaeue Place would

Police put pressure ice dealers

By Mike Hast POLICE in Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions have stepped up their fight against methamphetamine dealers.

Members of the peninsula’s tasking unit joined forces with detectives and raided four properties on Monday last week, arresting five men who were charged with a number of drug offences including possession and trafficking.

Three were bailed to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court in June, one was ordered onto a drug diversion program, and one was issued with a cannabis caution notice.

Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb said police seized “a quantity of methamphetamine�, also called ice or crystal meth, as well as cannabis, or marijuana, and a .22 pen pistol and ammunition when they raided two properties in Mornington and one each in Moorooduc and Rosebud West.

There was no connection between the four properties raided, and the men charged had no links to outlaw bikie gangs, he said.

Senior Sergeant Lamb said the “day of action� was the latest attempt to close down ice dealers in the region and particularly on the peninsula as authorities battle a rising tide of ice use. “Methamphetamine use has become a big problem in the region,� he said. “We are actively targeting ice dealers, have a number of investigations underway and are conducting regular raids.�

Ice raid: Police in the region continue to raid properties in the fight against methamphetamine production and dealing. During the search of a Langwarrin property last year, police discovered a clandestine drug laboratory.

The lab had been set up in the kitchen but other items including dangerous chemicals were spread throughout the house. Picture: Gary Sissons

Senior Sergeant Lamb said ice users were “driving volume crimes� such as burglary, theft and theft from cars. “This drug is extremely addictive – it changes users’ personalities, makes normal people very aggressive, and affects the body terribly.�

He said methamphetamine was causing the worst problems he’d seen in 27 years of policing.

Ice was being used “across all demographics and by different socioeconomic groups�.

“It’s not just being used by so-called street people; it’s having a horrendous impact on family violence and on mental health.�

Senior Sergeant Lamb said there were “ice laboratories� across the region, many in seemingly normal homes. “It’s not like what you see in [the television series] Breaking Bad; the show gives the wrong impression of what a lab can look like.�

He said there was large-scale manu-

facturing occurring and cited a raid last May when police made the largest-ever seizure of chemicals used to make ice in Victoria.

The trail started in a garden shed in Frankston where police found 10 drums of potassium borohydride, each weighing 10 kilograms, as well as a 10kg drum of sodium metal.

Police later searched a shipping container in Dandenong South where they found a dozen 200kg drums of benzaldehyde and a dozen 60kg bags of phos-

phorous. Combined, the 10 tonnes of chemicals could have made $500 million worth of ice.

The number of serious drug offences such as trafficking and manufacturing surged on the peninsula during financial year 2012-13, the most recent figures from Victoria Police show.

Drug offences jumped 43 per cent with police blaming the growing use of methamphetamine.

There was a 42.9 per cent spike in the number of charges laid for commercial drug activities such as cultivation, manufacture and trafficking.

When the figures were released last August, Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said an increase of almost 12 per cent (per 100,000 people) in drug offences across Victoria was being driven by increased amphetamine use, and said he would be “very surprised� if this was not contributing to the rising tide of family violence. “Drug offences have been enormously problematic for us in the past 12 months,� Mr Lay said. “We know there is a significant increase in the use of ice in the community.�

Senior Sergeant Lamb said police partly relied on information from the public to find and arrest ice dealers and raid labs. “People can make reports anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,� he said. “If you have concerns about the comings and goings of people late at night at a property or detect unusual chemical smells, contact police.�

Highway shop was first stop on search for surf THE first Peninsula Surf Centre store opened in 1974 at 468 Nepean Highway, Frankston.

“We figured it was a good position because, back then, everyone came down the highway to get to all the Mornington Peninsula surf beaches,” director Ted Bainbridge said.

“Cartoonist Paul Harris brushed a mural of his Hot Curl character on the window. We painted the outside green, stocked the shop with surfboards, wax, a few Quiksilver boardies and a dozen Rip Curl wetsuits.

“For an outlay of $1500 each we were in business and opened our doors under the banner Peninsula Surf Centre – which seemed to have it covered.”

Surfboards stocked by the fledgling shop included those bearing the brands Farrelly, G&S, Morning Star, Trigger, Hot Roc, Shane, Brothers Neilsen, Cooper, Crozier, and Klemm Bell.

“We used the backroom to produce Breakway – Victoria’s first surf magazine – with Keith Platt and Tony Murrell,” Bainbridge recalled.

“Harry Hodge, who became a Quiksilver executive, worked on producing the Peninsula Surf Centre film Liquid Gold and I’d sometimes do the radio 3XY surf reports from there.

“It was not on the radar to open more stores back then.”

Bainbridge, who was also instrumental in starting Peninsula Surfriders Club in the same year as opening the surf shop, said it had been “incredible to see the growth of the sport and, of course the industry”.

“In our own small way we assisted the popularity of surfing and we’re all proud of that.”

PAGE 8

Western Port News 1 April 2014

In those early days, Rip Curl made wetsuits and Quiksilver made Ugg boots in winter and boardshorts in summer.

“Apart from the resin and fibreglass we sold along with Honey surf wax and the Balin safety strap, that was it for brands and labels,” Bainbridge said.

“I met Gordon and Rena Merchant on a Queensland trip with Mick Pierce and Ian Portingale. They were making clothes, under Ken Brown’s place in Burleigh, which morphed into the Billabong label.

“They came down here selling their shorts in about 1976, and we had to tell them we were covered – we had Quiksilver and didn’t think we needed a second brand.”

As well as marking Peninsula Surf Centre’s 40th anniversary, this month will also see it move into the lower level of Bayside shopping centre (next to the Myer basement) in Frankston.

“Despite the industry having changed in several ways over the years, our new Frankston store will still stock the most popular, core surf brands, but will also encompass a range of more fashionoriented clothing and street brands,” Bainbridge said.

“Our new store will also see a modern shop fitout linked with elements and memorabilia from our long heritage in the industry.”

Celebration had waves of appeal MORE than 450 surfers and their friends and families turned up for a party last weekend to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Peninsula Surfriders Club.

The gathering included all members of the original committee, which met to discuss forming a club at the rear of the first Peninsula Surf Centre store in Frankston.

More than a generation later, members of the current committee were able to hold the event at the club’s rooms, near Gunnamatta.

Picture: Supplied

Ultimate birthday blunder as driver crashes ‘Lambo’ A MAN had a birthday experience he’d probably rather forget after crashing a $250,000 Lamborghini he had rented to celebrate the occasion into a shop in Flinders.

Witnesses said the yellow V10 Lamborghini Gallardo ploughed through a roundabout outside Flinders Hotel on Cook St before smashing into a vacant shop on the opposite corner.

The car struck into a number of poles before smashing into the front of the former Balin surf shop. The car was extensively damaged.

The driver was treated by ambulance paramedics for minor injuries but was not taken to hospital.

The high-performance sports car was rented from Ultimate Driver in Dromana, which offers

a one-hour package driving a Lamborghini Gallardo for $799.

Company literature described the package as “an insane experience”.

“You drive this beast for one hour. No stopstarting out of the city – we have carefully chosen our location in Arthurs Seat so you are instantly driving on long, curving, open roads.

“Your journey will take you along the rolling roads of the Mornington Peninsula – no traffic jams and red lights … 60 kilometres in the world’s most revered and sought-after supercar.”

The company’s website said safety was Ultimate Driver’s highest priority and that there had been “Zero incidents, zero accidents” – until Sunday presumably.

Coleman club a salute to Hastings royalty

By Peter McCullough ON Saturday 29 March the inaugural luncheon of the John Coleman Coterie Club was held at the Hastings Club.

The concept of a coterie group was one of the first initiatives of newly elected Hastings Football Club president Phil Stone.

His objective was to bring together past and present players, and to make the latter more aware of the rich history of the club.

Seventy-five people attended the lunch and were entertained for four hours during which time an excellent meal was served.

Early in proceedings the group was addressed by Tanie Strickland (netball coach) and Brendan Dunne (football coach) on the club’s prospects for the 2014 season.

The main speaker was Doug

Ackerley who is writing a biography of John Coleman that he expects to have published in a few months.

According to Ackerley, the arrival of football’s first great superstar changed the way the sporting press regarded football.

Before Coleman, the sports pages of Victorian papers were dominated by racing; after Coleman’s arrival, the main focus became football.

Ackerley interviewed Barry Capuano, president of the Essendon Football Club Past Players Association, who was coached by John Coleman at Essendon.

Capuano had been an Essendon supporter as a youngster and recalled how people flocked to games at Windy Hill just to watch Coleman; at the end of each quarter about 5000 people would move from one end of the ground to the other to be

nearer the star attraction.

There was a lot of laughter when Capuano told the audience about Coleman’s dislike of umpires, who he thought never gave him any protection as a player. The enmity carried over into his coaching era.

This led to Coleman being reported four times during his term as Essendon coach, the most notable being when he ran onto the field during play and jostled Geelong’s Paul Vinar.

Ackerley concluded by pointing out that, while Coleman’s performance at full-forward during his short career (1949-54) had led to his selection in the position in the team of the century and the naming of the John Coleman Medal in his honour, his performance as coach (1961-67) brought two premierships and a better win-loss ratio than any coach before or since.

Also interviewed was 88-year-old Tom Meehan who played 92 games with St Kilda and Fitzroy.

His first game with Fitzroy was against Essendon and he recounted how, on the occasion of the iconic mark that is celebrated in the statue of Coleman and Meehan outside Hastings library, he felt he had outmanoeuvred his opponent when Coleman virtually leapt over him to take the mark.

Another old-timer interviewed was Alex Boyle who played full-back for Frankston when Coleman was playing for Hastings.

Later, when full-back for Oakleigh, he played on Ron Todd and so had the distinction of “covering” the best two full-forwards of the era. Boyle was sitting at the same table as his brother-in-law Roy Flood who was wearing his 1953 Hastings Football

Club blazer, which appeared to be in mint condition.

The afternoon was rounded out by a performance by comedian Michael Connell and the auction of two jumpers donated by Essendon Past Players Association. The first was an Essendon jumper signed by all players on the 2014 list; it sold for $400.

The second was a jumper with the mandatory No. 10 on the back and two paintings superimposed on the front: a scene of Coleman in action and a head-and-shoulders portrait. This sold for $600.

The inaugural lunch was a great success and concluded with the presentation of a certificate to Hastings Football Club historian Vic Jeremiah who had arranged a fascinating display of photographs and other memorabilia around the room.

Landcare groups forge united front

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Landcare groups are joining forces to better harness their resources and coordinate larger programs.

The peninsula’s 11 Landcare groups will this week launch the Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network, which aims to assist the development of “landscape-scale projects”.

The announcement of the network comes as the federal government prepares to launch a number of Green Army projects on the peninsula, which will be administered by Mornington Peninsula Shire, Landcare groups and other environmental community groups.

While not mentioning the upcoming launch of Green Army projects, scheduled to begin on the peninsula in July, Lancare network steering committee acting president David Maddocks said there were clear, tangible advantages to the region’s various groups working together.

“The formation of a network will assist Landcare groups to access larger and longer-term funding opportunities for projects that reflect regional priorities,” Mr Maddocks said.

“We see an opportunity to develop bids for landscape-scale projects, such as biolinks and a community feral animal control program.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire Landcare facilitator Jacqui Salter said the network would act as an “umbrella group” that would provide a “united voice”.

“A network will allow groups to collaborate on cross-boundary issues such as the control of weeds and pests. It really is a great step forward for Landcare on the peninsula.”

Steering committee secretary Bernie Schedvin said the launch of the network on 5 April would enable groups to collaborate on cross-boundary issues although each group would remain autonomous.

“Landcare representatives unanimously agreed that member groups should retain their regional identities and be self-governing,” she said.

“Representatives from all of the groups will form a steering committee that will direct the net-

Marking war’s first angry shot United front: Representatives of the 11 Mornington Peninsula Landcare groups met late last year in Main Ridge Hall to discuss the formation of a steering committee to provide a united voice.

work’s priorities and direction.”

Representatives of peninsula Landcare groups agreed to form the network in late 2013 after the federal government came to power and promised to implement Green Army environmental schemes across Australia.

Programs on the peninsula and in Frankston will be among the first to begin, says Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt.

In early March, Mr Hunt said the government would soon begin a tender process for service providers to “engage the Green Army teams and supervisors, manage activities to ensure projects are completed safely, and report regularly on progress”.

“The Mornington Peninsula Green Army Project and Western Port Green Army Project will be carried out in consultation and conjunction with Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Cardinia Shire, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Group, Red Hill Community Ac-

tion Group and local Landcare groups,” he said.

The peninsula project will have four main strands: Mt Martha-Balcombe Creek nature trail habitat enhancement, southern peninsula foreshore and creek rejuvenation, Red Hill South biolink and community reserve creation, and Mornington Peninsula war on weeds.

The Western Port project will include: Watsons Creek rehabilitation in Baxter and Somerville; Hastings, Crib Point and Somers foreshore revegetation and walking track construction; bandicoot habitat preservation at Bayles; and weed removal and revegetation in Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang.

The Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network will be launched at Main Ridge Hall on Saturday 5 April. Speakers will including Bass Coast Landcare Network coordinator Kellie Nichols and Nepean MP Martin Dixon.

All Landcare members are welcome and lunch will be provided. RSVP via email to: jacqueline. salter@mornpen.vic.gov.au

POINT Nepean’s famous guns, renowned for firing the British Empire’s first shot of the First World War, are just one of the peninsula’s many historic attractions set to be celebrated during Australian Heritage Week.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt, pictured at the Fort Nepean installation with First Shot committee chairman Major Bernie Gaynor, said the week from 12-20 April provided an opportunity to celebrate the places, buildings, landscapes and stories that had forged the peninsula’s history.

“It’s a great time to explore places of historical significance. You can take a diving tour and explore South Channel Fort at Sorrento, explore the Endeavour Fern Gully Nature Trail at Red Hill or take a cruise on the Enterprize at Rye. Other places of interest included Point Nepean, McCrae Homestead, Churchill Island, The Briars Park, Coolart Homestead and Wetland, and Collins Settlement Historic Site.

Community groups are being encouraged to get involved in Australian Heritage Week by planning and hosting their own events.

NEWS DESK

Dreadful knights make comeback EMU can hear a clanking in the kitchen garden, moving around among the celery and carrots. Stealthily he moves to the window and beholds a wondrous sight.

Mrs Emu has a saucepan on her head and a rubbish bin lid strapped to her front. She has slid her head up though an old metal downpipe and has others encasing her legs. She is moving gingerly but noisily, admiring her reflection in the glass of the kitchen door.

Emu withdraws, alarmed, to cogitate on this bizarre sight. The Blushing Bride has been quietly busy recently at her U3A course, “Vlad the Impaler: Necessity versus Humanity”, but Emu has dismissed as pure research the sharpened stakes appearing in the garden. What can this metal mean?

The clanking is approaching. Emu backs against the wall. The steel-clad apparition enters.

“Good morning, Dear,” he quavers.

“You won’t be calling me ‘Dear’ for much longer,” comes the haughty response. “Haven’t you heard? Tony Abbott has restored knighthoods and dameships and I intend to get one.

“You’ll have to behave yourself from now on. I’ll be ‘Dame Dear’ then, and you’d better not forget it.”

The BB moves closer, swinging her legs in awkward, stiff-legged semicircles on account of the downpipe leggings. He notices she is carrying the garden machete – her sword, no doubt. He cowers before her blazing red eyes, unwilling to tell her dames don’t joust.

“You should go for a knighthood,” she barks accusingly. “We are on

the coat of arms, after all.” Her face softens. “Imagine us, off to state occasions, Sir and Dame Emu.” Her saucepan slips to a jaunty angle. Then off she clanks, humming God Save the Queen.

Emu slumps into a chair and closes his eyes. Images of prominent knights past float through his imagination: Sir Paul Strasser, NSW property developer and crook; Sir Robert (née Robin) Askin, NSW premier and crook; Sir Thomas Bent, Victorian premier and crook. Sure, there were good ones, but one rotten apple…

Surely AO is good enough as a reward for excellence, he ponders.

Why revert to an ancient British tradition that’s so outmoded and phoney here in 2014 and not much more highly thought of in Britain?

Sir Don Bradman and Sir Robert Menzies are now respected historical figures. Can anyone imagine Sir Ricky Ponting or Sir John Howard or Sir Toenails Abbott?

So that’s where we’re heading.

Howard wanted to makes us relaxed and comfortable like we were in the 1950s. Abbott seeks to settle us, contented, in the 1850s. He clearly has a personal time machine and wants us all aboard.

Emu doesn’t want a seat but he’s prepared to compromise. We should have some orders, possibly celebrating indigenous flora and

fauna, and awarded for outstanding achievement. Emu consults the bookcase.

But why not orders for acts of stupendous stupidity or laughable incompetence as well? Emu is warming to the task.

We could have a royal connection for those with monarchical tendencies, such as the Order of the Royal Penguin, a bird found only far south of Australia but with lovely yellow “eyebrows” and red beak. Described as a “vagrant”. Becomes vocal only during the breeding season.

An appropriate order for staunch monarchist David Flint?

Then there could be the Order of the Rockhopper (a penguin with white eyebrows) for Olympic champions and the Chinstrap for military service.

The Order of the Booby could be reserved for moronic behaviour in any area of endeavour. Some more: Order of the Great-Billed Heron – for the professional who overcharges the most.

Order of the Magpie Goose – for the Collingwood captain, awarded in each non-premiership year.

Order of the Common Pheasant – Prime Minister’s award for the year’s most obsequious trade union official.

Order of the Eurasian Coot – for an illegal immigrant the authorities nab with least effort.

That’s enough for a start, thinks Emu. We haven’t even started on the fauna and are hardly into the birds.

Nothing suitable yet for Mrs Emu. But Emu can’t possibly be married to a dame – all that bowing!

Who’s a pretty girl: Mathy and Ron Hyder of Rye will be among Clydesdale exhibitors on Saturday. Mathy showed off five-month-old Calamity, left, and her mother, sevenyear-old Lexie, late last week. Picture: Yanni

‘Clydies’ for horse show HORSES for all kinds of courses will be at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre this weekend for the Clydesdale and Heavy Harness Feature Show.

Three week crusade to find feline friend

By Cameron McCullough JOHN Mina is a man on a mission. Since his beloved cat Jeri went missing on 8 March, he has spent countless hours driving around Hastings and distributing leaflets trying to be reunited with his pet.

“She is my sole companion,” Mr Mina said. “I am desperate to be reunited with her.”

Jeri usually spends most of her times indoors at his Hendersons Rd property but could leave the house through a cat door.

“This is very out of character for her. She never strays from home.”

After Jeri disappeared, Mr Mina waited a day or so believing she was just out on an adventure. But when two days passed without her returning, he started the search.

“I have distributed more than 3000 flyers, and am offering a substancial reward for Jeri’s return,” he said.

He goes driving three times a day in the hope

he might spot her on the streets of Hastings.

“Locals would be getting pretty used to my car creeping around Hastings. Rest assured, I’m casing the place, just looking for my cat!”

His search has uncovered possible leads, with the most recent sighting in Olivia Way in Hastings.

“I am confident she is around somewhere.

That is why I am still searching every day.”

He said the past few weeks had been an emotional rollercoaster with unconfirmed and conflicting sightings as well as a text message from a woman saying she had seen Jeri dead on the side of the road.

“I drove out there, and there was a poor cat there, but it wasn’t Jeri,” he said.

“I think someone may be feeding and caring for her, but I desperately want her back, so please contact me if you have her.”

John Mina can be contacted on 0418 554 168.

Planet Kids extravaganza has Good Friday appeal THE team at Planet Kids will be opening the doors on Good Friday in support of the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

Although we all hope we will never need to, many of us have benefited from the fantastic work of the Royal Children’s Hospital. About 34,000 children are admitted to the hospital annually and about 280,000 outpatient visits are made, truly making a significant difference in the lives of our most precious.

This year the owners of Planet Kids have offered to donate all gate proceeds from the event to the Good Friday Appeal. Being a fully endorsed event from the Royal Children’s Hospital, the Easter Extravaganza will not only be a great fun family day out, but also your children’s way to contribute to the appeal.

Since taking over the business early last year, Planet Kids’ new owners have created a play centre and cafe that is a clean, bright and an inviting environment for parents and carers to sit and relax while the children play.

The new tables and chairs, new couches, new serving area, new toddlers’ equipment and the healthier, fresher food and drinks offered make Planet Kids the ideal place to catch up with friends while watching the kids play.

The extravaganza will officially mark the opening of seven new slides currently under construction and include face painting, an Easter egg hunt, an Easter hat parade, a colouring completion, slide races and more.

Mornington police will be there in the morning to let the children get up close and personal with a real police car.

Each child will receive an Easter candy carrot lolly bag.

If you are looking for something to do with the children on Good Friday and if you would like to support the Royal Children’s Hospital at the same time, visit Planet Kids Cafe and Play Centre, 7 Latham St, Mornington, from 10am3pm on Friday 18 April for the Planet Kids Easter Extravaganza.

NEWS DESK – 1 April

Mt Eliza to be renamed after lawsuit

By Stuart and Cameron McCullough RUMOURS are swirling that Mornington Peninsula Shire has been engaged in a legal battle of mountainous proportions after a lawsuit was lodged over breach of trademark regarding the use of the name “Mount Eliza”.

The legal documents were lodged by the highly litigious International Mountain Trademark Protection Council (IMTPC).

The documents demanded the immediate renaming of Mount Eliza and the payment of years of compensation for breach of trademark.

The IMTPC, based in Geneva, Switzerland, consists of representatives of some of the largest mountains in the world including Mount Everest in Nepal, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, Mount Fuji in Japan and Magic Mountain in California.

“It comes down to this – mountains mean millions,” IMTPC spokesman Hillary Edmund said.

What Ms Edmunds refers to is the marketing value of the word “mountain”, a value the IMTPC has vowed to protect around the world.

“These days, people think they can name any little hill a mountain; well, we’ll make sure that isn’t so.”

The IMTPC has a strict list of guidelines that must be adhered to with the use of the word mountain or any of its derivatives. The council then searches the world enforcing its trademark.

The lawsuit that arrived in the shire’s customer service email inbox took everybody by surprise, but is not without precedent.

The most recent local example was

Blowing their own trumpet: Committee members of the International Mountain Trademark Protection Council at their annual meeting last year.

in 1971 when the then Shire of Flinders was targeted by the same organisation over Mount Arthur. Facing a costly court battle, they chose to rename it Arthurs Seat.

The current court case was faced head-on in the beginning, with the shire acting to adhere to IMTPC regulations.

A shire spokesman, speaking to The News on condition of anonymity, said height was not the only indicator of mountain status.

“The mountain protection council said if we had a snow-capped peak, yodellers, a chairlift or a lookout tower, we’d be ok.”

The shire then promptly set about dismantling the lookout tower on top of Arthurs Seat, “Captain Cook Cottage style”, numbering each piece for reassembly on top of Mount Eliza.

“Everything was going to plan when were notified by the IMTPC that it had moved the goalposts,” the spokesman said.

“Another email to customer service said we now needed at least two of the requirements.”

It is believed councillors discussed appointing a full-time yodeller for the town, but discounted the idea due to the lack of locally based yodellers and the expense of importing one from Europe.

“It all got too much. While we were supposed to be nutting out how to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, we were using council meetings to audition yodellers.”

In the end, the best solution was a name change. Mount Eliza will be renamed Frankston South West.

In line with the change, it has been

rumoured the town will be handed back to Frankston City.

“Mount Eliza has long been the Alsace-Lorraine of the peninsula, and it seemed like an opportune time to settle the ill-will between Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire over the disputed territory.”

The township previously known as Mount Eliza was part of the City of Frankston until the 1994 council amalgamations under the Kennett government.

“Losing Mount Eliza was a blow to Frankston,” Frankston Council spokeswoman Phyllida T Planner said.

“To say we’re happy to have it back is an understatement.”

Frankston Council has been working overtime to make the transition smooth. Street signs and Google maps will be updated to reflect the name change, and it is rumoured the council has ordered 40,000 “I Love Frankston South West” stickers.

Residents of the town formerly known as Mount Eliza have only just heard the news, but have appealed directly to the United Nations.

Retired property developer, investor and philanthropist Sir Herman von Barth-Thistlethwaite travelled to New York to make the case in person but without success.

“It was like their ears were painted on,” he said. “They’re taking a heavyhanded approach.”

He described it as “regulation gone mad”. The finger of blame, which Sir Herman believes should be the one in the middle, is firmly pointed in the direction of France.

“Ever since the French started suing anyone who dared called their sparkling white wine ‘champagne’, the world’s gone to hell in the handbasket.”

Although many aspects of life in Frankston South West will be unchanged, Sir Herman said he had a large amount of letterhead with his current address on it. “It’s such a tragic waste of stationery seeing as how I’ve just recently been knighted.”

Sir Herman said the name change would add three minutes to travel time to Melbourne. “Don’t ask me how,” he said. “It used to be 48 minutes, but when I put the new address into Google Maps, it said 51.”

Hillary Edmund said no one had the right to be surprised. “The idea of a standard definition for mountains has been kicking around for at least 50 years.”

She cited Olivers Hill and Red Hill as two areas that got in early and made the change decades ago.

“No one even remembers Mount Oliver or Red Mountain. In time, people will get used to Frankston South West.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire are busy looking at the legal ramifications for Mount Martha. The search has begun for a yodellers residence and plans are being made to install a snow making machine.

On the upside, they’ll legally be able to resinstate the term “Mount Arthur” for Arthurs Seat once the chairlift is complete and if they reassemble the lookout tower.

“It may be an opportunity too good to pass up,” the shire spokesman said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Woman found dead after head pains; robberies continue in Frankston Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 April 1914 A PAINFULLY sudden death occurred at Frankston on Wednesday evening, when Mrs Maudsley, a married women residing with her husband, Mr Henry Maudsley, was found dead. Early in the evening the unfortunate woman complained of violent pains in her head, and she was taken to her room. The husband did everything that was possible, but on his return to the room after a temporary absence, he found his wife dead.

The body was removed to Frankston, where Dr Maxwell held an examination, the result of which showed that death was due to natural causes. *** FURTHER robberies have been reported to the Frankston police during the last few days. During the early part of the week, thieves annexed a full set of harness and part of another set from Dr. Maxwell’s stable, and about the same time a set of harness belonging to Mr A. D. Box was purloined from his stable. The list of robberies is now a lengthy one, and householders would do well to see that their houses and outbuildings are well looked after. *** ADVERTISERS are notified that owing to our usual publishing day falling out on Good Friday next week, we will publish a day earlier (Thursday evening) and advertisements must reach this office not later than noon on that day to insure insertion. *** THE V.R.C. have granted to the Mornington Racing Club, Tuesday

12th May, 1914, for their second meeting to be run on the “Drywood” estate racecourse. *** A PRACTICE match between members of the Frankston football club will take place at the park this afternoon. *** THE Frankston choral and orchestral society will resume practice on Monday evening next, in the Mechanics’ Institute. *** THE Flinders show eventuated under most favourable weather conditions on Thursday of last week. There was a splendid attendance of the public, and the exhibits, especially in the livestock sections, were of a very high standard. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly market at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer cattle, horses, pigs, poultry, 80 ewes, 1 light lorry, spring tooth harrows, Rustic cart and harness, etc. *** THE members of the Choral Society will be delighted to resume duties after the summer vacation, and a number of new musical members have signified their intention of joining. *** GRUNDBERG’S band will supply the music at the ball to be held in the Mornington Mechanics’ Institute on Easter Monday night, 13th inst.

This ball which takes place after the dramatic and vocal entertainment, is looked forward to as the most enjoyable function of the year. The proceeds are in aid of the Catholic

church debt, and Messrs J. Murphey and R. Stanley have been appointed joint hon. secs. ***

The members of the Choral Society will be delighted to resume duties after the summer vacation, and a number of new musical members have signified their intention of joining

THE programme of the Dromana sports club annual meeting on Eight Hours Day, April 27th, appears in another column. An attractive programme has been drawn up, and a successful day’s sport is anticipated.

Mr J. C. Griffiths Junr. is the general hon. secretary. Tenders for the right of Publican’s booth and refreshment stall close with the secretary on 15th April. ***

READERS are requested to refer to our advertising columns, wherein it will be noted that the Frankston Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. is now open for business, and solicits local patronage.

Two Ford cars well fitted and in a few weeks a Sunbeam car of the latest design will be at the command of patrons. The three drivers employed by the company are mechanics as well as expert motorists. The fare table has been made so as to be within reach of all. A speciality will be, we understand, pleasure runs for 3 parties of four. *** MR Percy Thornell met with a slight accident on Wednesday last through the horse he was riding falling with him. Somehow or other one of the rider’s legs got under the horse, and as a consequence, is somewhat bruised. *** MR Maurice Griffith, nephew of Dr Griffith, said farewell to his many friends at the Church of England on Sunday night last. He has received an appointment of Curate to a suburban church. *** MRS T. Thornell is now building a villa on Eramosa road, just opposite the Methodist church. *** THE post office has changed hands.

Mr Geo Philbuck, who has been postmaster since the postal matters came under the control of the Federal Government, has given up the billet.

Miss Thompson, who has been with Mr Philbuck as assistant, has succeeded to the position. ***

THE Frankston Methodist circuit held their quarterly meeting in the Somerville Methodist church on Wednesday last. There was a representative gathering. The usual routine work was accomplished, and the spiritual side of the church’s life was discussed. Financially, the quarter ended with a substantial credit balance. Tea was served by the ladies of the Somerville church. *** SEAFORD possesses a fine stretch of beach country, three miles long, bordered with thick ti-tree growth.

There is a strong local feeling that this area should be made a national park, in order that the country there shall not be devastated by bush fires. Frankston shire council and the Seaford Progress Association with the Government will grant £500 to assist in tempting the public to the beach. A deputation from those bodies made such a request on Wednesday to Mr H. S. Lawson, Minister of Lands. The minister, after promising to give sympathetic consideration to the matter, although no money was at present available, made the question of the control of the whole of the foreshore was thus opened up. There was more or less fitful control at the present time, but he would like to see a committee or some organised body in charge, with representatives on it from the particular councils concerned, receiving a definite fixed contribution from the Government and some assured contributions from the respective areas affected.

That question he would place before Cabinet at the earliest opportunity.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Old world meets new THOUSANDS of people from around the region and further afield headed up to Red Hill for the show, the famous Red Hill Agriculture and Horticultural Society’s 86th annual event. Red Hill is last show standing on the peninsula and drew competitors of all ages and with all kinds of animals and produce as well as modern attractions such as riders doing tricks on motorbikes, stiltwalkers and food sellers with exotic offerings that would have bamboozled your greatgrandfather.

Pioneers of the district would have recognised two regular crowd favourites – the woodchopping and working dog demonstrations in the main arena.

Some things should never change.

The show is not technically over just yet – the Clydesdales and Heavy Harness Show is on Saturday 5 April at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre with show jumping on Saturday 5 April and Sunday 6 April at the equestrian centre on Boneo Rd. For details, call 5989 2357 or visit www.redhillshow.com.au Mike Hast

Western Port News 1 April 2014

Crimea river and Putin on the Ritz WE’VE all done it. For me, it was about eight years ago when I decided to give a copy of the Coen Brothers’ film The Hudsucker Proxy to my father. Like any gift, it was unconditional and the DVD has sat in his collection ever since.

But time changes things. You see, The Hudsucker Proxy is no longer available for purchase in this country.

It used to be, but not anymore. The Coen Brothers are hardly obscure filmmakers and it defies logic that one of their movies should be so hard to come by. So, despite the fact that I gave it away freely, I now want it back.

If anyone knows how I feel, it’s Russia. In 1954, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Nikita “Knuckles” Khrushchev, gifted the Crimea region to Ukraine. It was, apparently, a lastminute thing.

Khrushchev had originally toyed with getting Ukraine a tonne of JB Hi-Fi vouchers but, at the last minute, decided to hand over the Crimean peninsula instead. Ever since, Crimea had been part of Ukraine. Until now.

Ordinarily, when things become tense, I’d simply suggest that people stay calm and tell the key protagonist to keep his shirt on. This is not possible when the protagonist in question is Russian president and all-round amateur he-man Vladimir Putin.

Without doubt, one of Putin’s greatest problems is his absolute inability to keep his shirt on. It’s as though he’s allergic to fabric from the beltline up. Vlad’s one of those guys who has yet to learn that the term “flexing

your muscle” is not to be taken literally. So how did it come to this?

When considering the current shemozzle, you’ve got to start with Viktor “Weird Al” Yanukovych. He was the president of Ukraine until February when the Ukrainian parliament voted against him and he fled

the country. He’s also one of the few political leaders to have a Wikipedia page with the ignominious heading “Alleged higher education”. When he fled, he left behind a mansion and estate claimed to be worth 70 million US dollars.

The Finnish company that built it

was so impressed they suggested it should be entered in the Guinness Book of World Records. His personal wealth is estimated to be something around the $12 billion mark, which is an astounding achievement if, like Viktor, your salary has never exceeded two grand a month.

With Yanukovych gone and elections scheduled for May, Putin responded to the unfettered act of aggression of existing by sending in the troops. Then, in a move that streamlined democracy, a vote was conducted. The referendum posed two questions: the first was whether the voter wished Crimea to become part of Russia; the second was whether the voter wanted to restore Crimea’s 1992 constitution that proclaimed self-government. In effect, the only available answers were either “yes” or “perhaps”. Maintaining the status quo was not one of the options.

It’s fair to say this debacle has caused chaos. Sanctions that include preventing the third season of Game of Thrones from being released in Russia have been considered. That Mr Putin considers it a documentary rather than a work of fiction is beside the point.

The singer Sting, who once told us he hoped the “Russians love their children too”, has been parachuted in to Moscow to either seek urgent diplomatic talks or, alternatively, challenge the president to a topless armwrestle. For his part, Putin, who in terms of sheer showmanship is probably the James Brown of Eastern European politics, gave an impassioned speech that was interrupted by

thunderous applause on 30 occasions.

No doubt, he dropped to his knees before a cape was lowered across his shoulders, which he then threw off before returning to the microphone. He claimed the vote to join Russia was done in accordance with all democratic procedures.

I doubt it. For starters, I am yet to see any evidence of a sausage sizzle conducted at the polling sites.

Despite the lack of snags, we can all learn something from Russia. That outdoor table setting you gave as a wedding present to the couple you no longer speak to? It’s yours for the taking. The box set of The Sopranos you gifted to the guy your sister used to date but broke up with two years ago?

Morally, it belongs to you. And as for that copy of The Hudsucker Proxy I gave my father…

When he arrived home, my father was surprised to find me in his kitchen. Hours earlier, I had seamlessly taken possession of the front half of the house. In his absence I had conducted a vote using all known democratic principles and, being the only person present at the time, the vote was overwhelmingly in my favour.

But as I stood to leave, there was a knock on the door and, on opening it, I was surprised to find Sting – his parachute draped across the front yard, asking to speak to me urgently.

I took it as a sign. Some battles are worth fighting but if it requires a discussion with Sting, it’s probably better to cut your losses. I realise this sounds improbable. All I can do is swear that I’m not Putin you on. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Eagles to soar high again

Eagles dare to dream: Edithvale-Aspendale emerged victorious as premiers last season and may repeat the feat this year.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

PENINSULA LEAGUE PREVIEW

By Toe Punt WHO will challenge Edithvale-Aspendale in 2014?

That is the burning question as we prepare for the opening bounce of the new season.

You won’t get arguments from anyone in the Eagles’ nest that they ‘pinched’ a premiership last season.

After all, the Eagles just scraped over the line in the elimination final against Mornington.

However, from that point, they didn’t look back and were able to go on and taste the ultimate success.

The Eagles’ bigger plans were always geared towards 2014, this season rather than last year, and their recruiting has been exceptional.

Jarrod Garth, a full forward from Keilor, is expected to take this competition by the throat. His former coach Micky McGuane has huge wraps on him. Beau Turner also wanders back into the place, while Brad Gilder adds some spice through the middle, and there are a handful of others who join the reigning premiers.

They are going to be very hard to beat.

Mt Eliza is another side that has recruited very well.

The Redlegs were thereabouts last season but their recruits have also been sensational.

John Meesen, the former Melbourne ruckman who stands almost seven foot tall, has joined the club. Matty Dunne is back from Noble Park. Darren Booth, after three dominant seasons at Rye, returns to the fold. Adam

Littlechild also rejoins the group.

Mt Eliza is going to be a threat.

Bonbeach has to be a flag contender.

So close but yet so far from winning the ultimate prize last season. Was this a burning motivation in the off-season? Or have the Sharks got a grand final hangover?

Shane McDonald broke his arm in an intra-club game and will miss the first few rounds. Former Melbourne and Brisbane Lion Travis Johnstone is a big in for the Sharks.

Frankston YCW has undergone a changing of the guard. They’ve lost a few, including 120 goals from their two Under 18s premiership side forwards, who have gone to other clubs.

The key to this team for a number of years has been Ash Eames, however, they still have the likes of Byron Barry, Tony Lester, Dave Bodley, Brad Ulms, Stuart Macleod, Kyle Hutchison, Ben Tellis, Jai Coghlan and Ricky Morris.

In not-so-good news, Stevey Roberts, who returned this season, has done his knee once again, while Anthony Barry has crossed to the VFL to play at Williamstown.

Mornington has recruited extremely well and they have more depth than last season. Chris Paxino is fit and firing. Daniel Villani is in Queensland due to work commitments but expected back in the second half of the year.

Keep an eye out for the Nolan brothers, Dale (a forward) and Danny (midfielder), who have joined mate Anthony Franchina. Myles Jamieson is a former Murray Bushranger and Michael Williams returns after three years studying in Ballarat.

To be frank, it’s hard to see the top five changing.

Langwarrin looks to be the only side outside of the top bracket capable of challenging, given their recruits. They have recruited smartly and now have a lot of players in the 22-25 age bracket.

Rikki Johnson and Matty Dimkos are great recruits who will add size and experience.

It’s hard to mount an argument though on who will make way for the Kangas in the top bracket.

Karingal has lost 14 walk-up start senior players and a couple who were in and out of the side last season. That can’t be good, even if you have replaced them with 12 recruits, eight of them coming from Noble Park.

Chelsea is starting from a long way back but will be more competitive in 2014 after doing some recruiting.

Pines came so close last season.

They were super fit and committed.

Question is, can they back it up?

The list doesn’t appear to have changed too much, other than Brendan Neville leaving for Lang Lang. They have a few kids, including Jayden Luca who had stints with Langwarrin, Dromana and Mornington.

Seaford is an unknown. The Tigers were disappointing last season with just six wins. They have a new coach in Ben Crowe and it will be interesting to see how he goes at the helm.

Luke Smith is another good in, while there are some kids coming through.

Brayden Irving is a massive loss.

There have been plenty of player movements. The key moves are listed right.

Expect a tasty dish to be served

Champions: Dromana clinched the 2013 premiership but face a challenge this season due to a muchchanged side. Picture: Andrew Hurst

NEPEAN LEAGUE PREVIEW

By Toe Punt AFTER months of training and player movements, it’s time to settle down and enjoy the sensational dish that we can expect to be served up this season.

It seems like such a long time ago since Dromana captain and coach Rikki Johnston and Gavin Artico held aloft the 2013 premiership cup after belting Sorrento in the grand final by a whopping 79 points.

Today, both ‘Rikki J’ and Artico are representing another club (Langwarrin).

Dromana won’t be the side they were last season. They’ve lost too many quality players to be the dominant force they were in 2013. In saying that, they’ll still be in the mix. A number of sides have recruited very well, the majority of which are starting from a long way back.

Devon Meadows seem to have recruited well, including former Melbourne forward Russell Robertson, who will line-up at times this season.

Dual league medal winner Beau Miller has also been added to their long list of recruits, along with seven time best and fairest winner Jesse Dehey and Billy Hayes.

Hastings has done extremely well in the offseason. Many say that they have replaced what they lost. I see it differently. The 2014 quality far outweighs those that left at the end of last season. Justin Berry and Brendan Dunne are stars.

Red Hill is another club that got busy in the off-season. Height may be an issue but midfield rotations won’t be.

A Frankston YCW connection, headlined

by Paul Wintle and Blake McCormack, along with Michael Dillon from Port Melbourne and Matthew Hyden from Ballarat are sure to raise some eyebrows in this league. The Hillmens’ pre-season form has been superb, resulting in three wins, including one against Bonbeach, who played in the Peninsula Grand Final last season.

Somerville has also added some quality to its list, none more so than new coach David ‘Budda’ Hirst and Cal Dixon. Tim Hirst is an underrated defender/midfielder and Marcus Bate returns from the Bombers.

Another year of play into the 17 and 18 yearolds should see them improve, although they

were beaten by an undermanned Langwarrin in a practice match to the tune of 90 points.

Rye too needed to get on their bike and recruit and they did. The Demons expect big things from the Semmel brothers, although Ryan is in the mix and highly likely to be on the reality TV show, The Rookie, hosted by former Lions superstar and coach Michael Voss. He’ll miss a handful of games, depending on when or if he is evicted from the ‘house’.

Sorrento has recruited well in getting Brodie Webb and Ryan Williams from Tasmania, while Dave Lawson returns home. Cayden Beetham is a big loss, Scott Cameron isn’t playing yet and Guy Stringer won’t rush his way into a long season.

Mitch Nibbs has retired and Ben Schwarze is injured.

Rosebud was just two points away from a grand final last season after leading by 16 points heading into time on.

The Buds have lost arguably the league’s best player last season in Matthew Payne. Three recruits from Sorrento, including Dan Hickey and Jackson Wells, are clever gets.

Frankston Bombers and Tyabb appear to be the hardest hit in the off-season. After a woeful finals series, the Bombers coach Duncan Proud resigned and players looked elsewhere. Retirements to key players will hurt, including the Lonie brothers, Haydn Moore, Shawn Wilkey and Brian O’Carroll.

The Yabbies were rumoured to be shutting the doors in mid-February, but everything is back on track and recruiting is going well.

Matty Dimkos, Ash and Nick Waterstone and Rohan and Tim McGrath are big outs for the Yabbies.

Pearcedale has moved along nicely in the offseason, although Rohan Swan, Byron Hoe, Chris Hensby and Glenn Anderson are all significant losses.

The Panthers have picked up a few though.

Keep an eye on Troy Jacobson from Somerville who will fly under the radar.

Crib Point has recruited some real quality, headlined by Brad Arnold and Dean Warry. The loss of Dave Lawson will have an impact.

All the ins and outs as the sides line up for round one next Saturday are listed right.

DROMANA 2013: 15 wins and 1 loss Ins: Rohan Bleeker (YCW), Steven Gaertner (North East Australian FL), Andy Kiely (Hastings), Ash Waterstone (Tyabb), Jae Williams (Rosebud) Outs: Adam Hunter, Luke O’Neil, Rikki Johnson, Liam Hogan (Langwarrin), Ryan Slocombe (retired), Michael Gillis (Rosebud), Ryan Hawkins (Rye), Ryan Worn (Tasmania) SORRENTO 2013: 16 wins and 0 losses Ins: Jarryd Ferguson (East Ringwood), Dave Lawson (Crib Point), Brendan Rinaldi (EFL), Luke Soligo (Northern FL), Brodie Webb, Ryan Williams (Tasmania FL) Outs: Steven Baker (Bendigo FL), Caydn Beetham (VAFA), Daniel Hickey, Luke Schuldt, Jackson Wells (Rosebud), Mitch Nibbs (retired), Scott Cameron (retired) ROSEBUD 2013: 10 wins and 6 losses Ins: Shane Boyington (Langwarrin), Ben Dwyer (Elinbank), Michael Gillis (Dromana), Daniel Hickey (Sorrento), Luke Schuldt (Sorrento), Jackson Wells (Sorrento) Outs: Matty Payne (North East Australian FL), Jae Williams (Dromana) FRANKSTON 12 wins and 4 losses Ins: Tyler Black (Eastern FL), Russell Fulton (Heathcote), Luke Fitzsimmons (VAFA), Corey Micari (YCW), Michael Perry (Elinbank FL).
