By Mike HastPOLICE in Mornington Peninsula and Frankston regions have stepped up their fi ght against methamphetamine dealers.

Members of the peninsula’s tasking unit joined forces with detectives and raided four properties on Monday last week, arresting fi ve men who were charged with a number of drug of-fences including possession and traf-fi cking.

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 am-munition when they raided two prop-erties 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, Senior Sergeant Lamb said.He said the “day of action” was the

latest attempt to close down ice deal-ers 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 under-way and are conducting regular raids.”

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 af-fects the body terribly.”

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

Ice was being used “across all demo-graphics and by different socio-eco-nomic groups”.

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

Senior Sergeant Lamb said there were “ice laboratories” across the re gion, many in seemingly normal homes.

“It’s not like what you see in [the tele vision 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.

Guy says yes to Guy says yes to marina extensionmarina extensionPLANNING Minister Matthew Guy has approved a rezoning amendment that clears the way for a major extension of Blairgowrie marina.

Mr Guy’s approval followed a recommendation by a panel he appointed last year that Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron be allowed to increase the number of wet berths by 119 to 280.

The existing wave screen will be extended 151 metres to the west and then a further 75 metres angled to the shore with a new 75-metre wave screen to be built west of the expanded boat harbour.

Mornington Peninsula Shire planning offi cers in December also recommended council adopt the rezoning.

The planning panel found that the marina, built in 2001, had “demonstrated a net community benefi t to this part of the bay, not only in relation to boating activities, but the broad range of community use and enjoyment of the jetty and water environs and the adjacent foreshore”.

The permit specifi cally allows: Expansion of the marina toward the west to provide an additional 119 wet berths, two disabled access visitor berths and upgrade of 45 previously existing visitor berths. Extension of existing wave wall. Removal of existing, ineffective wave attenuator. Replacement of existing slipway. Creation of a new hardstand and marine straddle carrier facility. Removal of native vegetation associated with roadworks. Alteration of access to Point Nepean Rd including allowing a right-hand turn from the access road to the harbour.

A report to council’s meeting on Thursday 20 March said the extended marina “will have minimal impact on the marine environment” and “enhanced boating safety for berth owners and for visiting yachts”.

The report said the rezoning to facilitate the marina extension “will result in positive tourism benefi ts by providing additional visitor marina berths and enhanced facilities for the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron”.

By Mike HastMORNINGTON 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 fi rst 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 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 fi ve-year term in 1999 after coming to the shire from inner-city Boroondara. In 2004 he was reappointed for another fi ve 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 coun-cillors 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

Advertise CEO’s job, says former MPAdvertise CEO’s job, says former MPCoach, doctor and an OAM to bootMICHAEL 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 from 1995 to 1999 before return-ing 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 Ad-ministration 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.

Shire of Mornington 1972-85 before 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 News, Mr Cooper said the council made the “extraordinary decision” in 2011 to reappoint Dr Kennedy “without bo-thering to publicly advertise the posi-tion and test the market to see whether there is a better qualifi ed person inte-rested”.

Mr Cooper described the past two contract processes as “disgraceful”.

“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 fi nd 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 fi ll this position”.

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

Dr Kennedy was not at the meeting, having fl own 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 second-longest 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 benefi ts including a car and superannuation.

Seed saviorsTHE Briars Park in Mt Martha was a hive of activity last week when pupils and students from Mornington Penin-sula primary and secondary schools buzzed around the historic property for fi ve days during annual Environment Week.

Dozens of activities included animal farm, composting, fruit tasting, garden-ing, a quiz, Australian wildlife, caring for oceans, fi shing, school initiatives and displays.

There was the two-hour Exploring Traditional Harvest and Indigenous Culture and Traditions program, Waterwatch activities led by Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Group, Birds of the Wetlands conducted by Birdlife Mornington Peninsula, exploring indig-enous fl ora of the shire council prop-erty’s woodlands with Gidja Walker of Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association, and investigat-ing conservation of fauna with Briars rangers.

AN emergency call has gone out to fi nd a bottlenose dolphin with packing tape wrapped around its torso.

The dolphin was spotted off Portsea by dolphin swim tour operators on Friday 21 March and rescuers want to track it down before the dolphin be-comes too distressed or dies.

The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) issued an alert for boaters to be on the lookout for the dolphin.

DEPI’s regional director of Port Phil-lip, Travis Dowling, said the Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad used its boat for a zig-zag search of the area.

“Representatives of the AGL Ma-rines Response Unit, Fisheries Victo-ria and volunteers of the Dolphin Re-search Institute all provided assistance and equipment,” he said.

“The search continued over the weekend but we were unable to locate the distressed dolphin. We are now very keen to hear of any further sight-ings before its condition deteriorates.”

Mark Keenan of Zoos Victoria said photographs showed the dolphin ap-peared to be in good body condition.

“However, this sort of entanglement can be fatal so we are very keen to fi nd the dolphin and we’re calling on the community to help.”

Anyone spotting the dolphin is ad-vised to take a note of the location and call the DEPI Whale and Dolphin Emergency hotline on 1300 136 017.

YOUNG families across the Mornington Peninsula last week celebrated National Playgroup Week as the state government unveiled new funding to enhance early learning opportunities.

As part of Playgroup Week celebrations, more than 40 families attended a special “Fun on the Foreshore” event at Rye on Thursday organised by Playgroup Victoria.

Activities and attractions included a storytime tent provided by Mornington Peninsula’s libraries, a jumping castle from Rosebud Toy Library and free dental health checks for children by Peninsula Health Community Health.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said there were about 50 playgroups on the peninsula operated by parent volunteers, council-employed facilitators and local organisations.

“Playgroups are a great way to enable children to participate in new experiences, to develop and increase their social skills and to enjoy learning about their world,” Cr Celi said. “Parents also benefi t from playgroup as it gives them time to talk, make friends and share experiences.”

Earlier in the week, Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell announced $8.4 million in funding to provide additional support to young families and children.

The state government program aims to get every Victorian toddler talking,

provide support to stop vulnerable families falling through the gaps, and provide incentives to attract staff to regional children’s centres, such as the peninsula, Ms Lovell said.

Funding included $4 million in workforce programs, scholarships to upgrade the skills of childcare workers, and fi nancial incentives to attract and retain staff.

A further $2 million has been allocated to trial an expansion of the MCH Child Health Record to focus on learning, development and care to help families better understand the needs of their children.

Other funding measures included $1.2 million for the Every Toddler Talking trial, which brings teachers and speech pathologists together to help toddlers speak, listen and be understood early on to ensure they have the literacy skills they need to stay on track at school and beyond, and $1.2 million to work with local governments to improve centralised enrolments for MCH and kindergarten programs to improve access to key services for vulnerable families.

“The plan highlights Victoria’s shared vision for a system that better connects families with services and provides the right support early on for vulnerable families, and that focuses on learning as much as health and care for every child from day one,” Ms Lovell said.

The shire has already introduced a centralised registration system for three- and four-year-old kindergarten

placements from this year, with registrations for 2015 open until Friday 25 April.

The new system aims to ensure “a streamlined and transparent application and allocation process that is fair and equitable for all families to support their access to community kindergarten programs across the shire”, according to shire documents.

Families who have registered their children under the previous system will have their registration automatically transferred to the new process and will not need to re-register.

Under the new system, priority is

given to shire residents or ratepayers. Others may be allocated places if they are available.

Allocation of kindergarten places begins in June for four-year-old kindergarten and in October for three-year-olds, with families notifi ed by by mail.

For more information call 1300 850 600 or email [email protected].

More information about local playgroups can be found at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/Playgroups or by email [email protected] or calling 5950 1000.

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 high-quality pinot noir.

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

By Chris BrennanPOLICE now have the power to im-pound illegally ridden trail bikes and other “recreational vehicles” on the Mornington Peninsula after an amend-ment to local laws was approved by the shire council.

The amendment to Mornington Pen-insula Shire’s General Purposes Local Law enables police and authorised council offi cers to seize and impound recreational vehicles used in contra-vention of regulations.

No objections were received when the proposed amendment was placed on public display earlier this year.

Councillors voted 5-3 to approve the amendment at the 24 March council meeting, with Crs Tim Rogers, Gra-ham Pittock and Andrew Dixon oppos-ing the motion.

A shire spokesperson said the chan-ges had been made following “ongoing complaints” by Victoria Police over the illegal use of recreational vehicles in the shire – in most cases, trail bikes.

The changes are in line with similar measures that have been in force in Frankston for about two years.

Under the new regulations, own-ers of impounded vehicles will have to pay $500 to have them released. Seized vehicle not claimed in time will be disposed of.

A report about the proposed amend-ment by shire rangers team leader Paul Bonnici stated that while penalties for the illegal use of recreational vehicles

were already available, police did not the power to seize offenders’ property.

“Victoria Police indicate that they have been receiving high numbers of complaints from the community relat-ing to people riding unregistered vehi-cles illegally,” the report stated.

“The current state legislation, in-cluding the Road Safety Act and as-sociated regulations … including the hoon legislation, fails to provide them with powers to seize and impound ve-hicles.

“They believe that a local law, which can be enforced by their offi cers, will address the current complaints they are receiving from the community [as it] already has both seizure and disposal laws in place for when shire rangers impound property.”

Victoria Police had requested local laws be amended to include seizure powers and that police working on the Mornington Peninsula under Section 224 of the Local Government Act 1989 be empowered to enforce those regula-tions, the report said.

“Victoria Police is of the view that the current recreational vehicle local law of Frankston City Council, which is enforced by Victoria Police and in-cludes a seizure power, is an effective tool for addressing the illegal recrea-tional vehicle use reported to them.”

Senior Sergeant Alan Courtney said the main problem was unregistered trail bikes being illegally ridden on roads and in public places.

“There are plenty of areas where these bikes can be ridden legally, pro-vided they have the appropriate per-mits, but then instead of walking their bikes there or transporting them on a trailer, they’re riding them illegally to and from their homes, often through parks or on footpaths. That makes it a public safety issue; there are kids, peo-ple walking dogs and older residents using these places so there are very signifi cant risks involved.

“We’re currently able to issue in-fringement notices, but that takes time and the fi nes are often ignored, where-as these changes enable police to seize the vehicles immediately and get them off the street.”

He said police anticipated the size of the release fee would mean many, if not most, trail bikes would not be re-claimed, as had been the experience in Frankston.

“Either way, it’s a major disincentive that should discourage this sort of be-haviour.”

He said police were reluctant to pur-sue illegally ridden trail bikes, prefer-ring to instead identify the addresses of riders for later follow up.

IT’S time to break out the dancing shoes for the annual Rosebud Rock n Rods Festival on Sunday from 10am-5pm.

The action is at Eastbourne Primary School where three bands will perform in the stadium – Dalton Gang, Stepback and Fender Benders.

The sports ground will be packed with hot rods and classic cars as well as classic trucks and wooden speedboats for the fi rst time.

The event started in 2009 and organiser Peter Warren said there would be plenty of stalls, children’s rides and demonstrations from hot rod fans including pin-striping. Proceeds go to Rosebud Hospital with the festival donating more than $15,000 in its fi ve years.

Mr Warren said members of Dromana Bay Life Saving Club handle entry to the event and also benefi t.

An added attraction this year is a dance on Saturday night run by Rosebud Rockers in the primary school’s stadium featuring The Rockin Daddies Band.

People purchasing a pass to the Sunday festival on Saturday night will go in a draw for $100 to be drawn on Saturday night.

“Rosebud Rockers hold dance classes on Monday nights and dances through the year with proceeds going to local charity groups,” Mr Warren said.

“Many people come from far afi eld and make a weekend visit to Rosebud, even interstaters.

“Local business people donate money or goods to raffl e to help fund the event and to ensure a healthy donation to the hospital.”

Armed thieves Armed thieves caught on filmcaught on filmPOLICE are hunting two men who allegedly threatened a shop attendant with a knife after stealing cameras from a Rosebud store.

The men are alleged to have stolen expensive digital cameras from the shop in Point Nepean Rd about 1.20pm on 1 March and then threatened a staff member with a knife after he followed them out of the shop into a car park.

Police believe the same two men were respon-sible for thefts at a number of other shops in near-by McCombe St around the same time.

The men allegedly involved were caught on CCTV footage at a Rosebud liquor outlet. Police released images of two men they believe “may be able to help with our enquiries”.

They were both described as being aged in their early 20s. One was about 180cm tall, of light complexion and medium build, with short-

cropped light-coloured hair. He was wearing a yellow high-visibility polo shirt, light grey shorts, white shoes, a light-grey baseball cap and sunglasses.

The other man was described as southern Euro-pean in appearance, about 175cm tall, with a slim build, olive complexion and shaved dark hair.

He was wearing a grey hoodie, black tracksuit pants with a white stripe down the sides, black shoes, a black baseball cap and sunglasses.

Anyone who can help identify the men is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and quote reference number CA 7285.

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 fi rst 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.

For more information about the surfriders club, go to www.psc.org.au or call club secretary Jane Featherston on 0449 186 559.

See “Highway shop was fi rst stop on search for surf” on Page 10.

THE fi rst Peninsula Surf Centre store opened in 1974 at 468 Nepean Highway, Frankston.

“We fi gured 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 fl edgling 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 fi rst surf magazine – with Keith Platt and Tony Murrell,” Bainbridge recalled.

“Harry Hodge, who became a Quiksilver executive, worked on producing the Peninsula Surf Centre fi lm 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 surfi ng and we’re all proud of that.”

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

“Apart from the resin and fi breglass 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 fashion-oriented clothing and street brands,” Bainbridge said.

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

In style: Haircuts and board shapes have changed, but the lure of the surf remains.

POINT Nepean’s famous guns, renowned for having fi red the British Empire’s fi rst 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 admiring the Fort Nepean installation with First Shot committee chairman Major Bernie Gaynor, said Australian Heritage Week from 12-20 April provided an opportunity to celebrate the places, buildings, landscapes and stories that had forged the peninsula’s unique history.

“It’s a great time to explore some of our local places of historical signifi cance. 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 the Collins Settlement Historic Site.

“Take a tour, drop in for a coffee or simply take a walk around these places

MORNINGTON Peninsula doctor John Cunninghame, who was based in Sorrento in the 1970s, has died at the age of 73.

Dr Cunninghame was a partner at Sorrento Medical Centre (now South Coast Medical) from 1969 to 1975 and was also medical offi cer for cadets at the Offi cer Cadet School in Portsea.

He was an active member of

the Sorrento branch of Rotary International and sat on the committee of management of Rosebud Hospital.

In 1975 he returned to New Zealand to further the education of his children in Auckland.

He died peacefully at North Haven Hospice in Whangarei, New Zealand, on 15 March.

He is survived by his wife Joy, children Karen and Paul, and

grandchildren Gemma, Brooke and Samuel.

His former professional partner at Sorrento Medical Centre, Dr Bruce Petersen, said Dr Cunninghame “worked tirelessly to bring medical care to the community with his kindly but straight talking approach” and had brought many of the southern peninsula’s current residents into the world.

and hosting their own events.For more information or to register

Continued from Page 1 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 phosphorous. Combined, the 10 tonnes of chemicals could have made $500 million worth of ice.

The number of serious drug offences such as traffi cking and manufacturing surged on the peninsula during fi nan-cial year 2012-13, the most recent fi g-ures 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 com-mercial drug activities such as cultiva-tion, manufacture and traffi cking.

When the fi gures 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 in-creased 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 enor-mously problematic for us in the past 12 months,” Mr Lay said.

“We know there is a signifi cant in-crease in ice use in the community.”

Senior Sergeant Lamb said police partly relied on information from the public to fi nd and arrest ice dealers and raid labs.

“People can make reports anony-mously 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.”

THIS spectacular home is surrounded by all the hallmarks that make Balnarring Beach a popular little pocket on the Mornington Peninsula. At a glance the home reveals little, with a neat, rendered facade greeting you at street level. However the home majestically sprawls over four levels, perfectly utilising the slope and aspect of the 816-square metre block to hide its secrets. Panoramic views over Western Port Bay and across to Phillip Island are framed by large picture windows that serve as stunning portals to the wonders of constantly changing water and bush vistas. On the top fl oor is a spacious kitchen with Caesar stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances and ample bench space, including a breakfast bar. Incorporated into the room is a meals and casual living area with access to one of four viewing platforms. Five bedrooms are spread across levels two and three, both with kitchenettes and powder rooms, which affords the possibility of having a premier holiday rental destination or a bed and breakfast. At ground level, along with a triple garage, is a superb wine cellar. If you have forgotten which label to serve at fi ne evening banquets overlooking the turquoise waters of the bay, there is an elevator to quickly and comfortably take you back up to the top fl oor. The combination of steel, timber, concrete and glass used throughout the home balance form and function. This is a stunning home with a raw and powerful elemental force. In a luxury market where the word unique is often overused, here it is totally justifi ed.

THE Peninsula Woodturners Guild celebrated its 30th anniversary earlier this month. The guild has grown from humble beginnings to now boast more than 200 members.

The guild hosted an open weekend on 1-2 March at its Langwarrin base at the McClelland Sculpture Park. Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor was a guest and presented founding member Bob Morrison with a badge specially made to commemorate his 30 years of guild membership.

The late Murray White was recognised as the founder of the Peninsula Woodturners Guild since it was his enthusiasm and organisational skills that led to the formation of the guild.

Guild president Geoffrey Dickin said the founding members had done a great job to get the guild up and running.

“As we all know everything has to be built on a strong sustainable foundation and it appears that way back 30 years ago, the foundation was put down by very wise people, the method that we achieve things and the way the Guild is conducted today has changed very little,” Mr Dickin said.

About 20 members attended the guild’s fi rst meeting in March 1984. Annual subscriptions were $15 at the time.

The Peninsula Woodturners Guild has moved location several times over the decades, includ-ing stints at Frankston TAFE College and the Ballam Park Homestead before settling in at the McClelland Gallery in 1991.

Murray White, Frank Rutter and Bill Barber were made life members that same year for their tireless contributions to the guild and their ef-forts to grow its membership.

Dame Elisabeth Murdoch was one of the guild’s staunchest supporters over the years and helped facilitate some of its location moves.

Today, the Peninsula Woodturners Guild has moved with the times and uses computer tech-nology to get the best results from woodturning in a computer group class.

The Peninsula Woodturners Guild is open fi ve days a week and a half-day on Saturdays, providing facilities and classes to 13 groups. Team leaders are always on hand to help with any problems.

Founded by Dr Julia E Tsavasilis in Sep-tember last year, The Chiropractic Way has opened its doors to help peninsula families look after their health.

Today’s lifestyle puts an incredible amount of strain on our spines, with lack of exercise, movement and a poor posture more than enough to wreck our bodies.

When we consider the excessive stress, poor diet, and other harmful things we do to ourselves, it’s no wonder we need to visit a chiropractor to help get back on track. That’s what they’re here for.

The Chiropractic Way focuses on restor-ing normal function to the body. With this approach of moving the body towards health, rather than merely away from symp-toms, they have profoundly changed the lives of families and look forward to doing the same for you.

The Chiropractic Way provides the high-est quality care for you and your family to achieve and maintain optimal health by working with your body through natural chiropractic care.

They are dedicated to informing you and the community about the role of chiroprac-tic in achieving and maximising human performance and potential.

NEWS DESK – 1 April

By Stuart & Cameron McCulloughRUMOURS are swirling that Morn-ington Peninsula Shire has been en-gaged 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 im-mediate renaming of Mount Eliza and the payment of years of compensation for breach of trademark.

The IMTPC, based in Geneva, Swit-zerland, 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 Moun-tain 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 “moun-tain”, 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 guide-lines 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

in 1971 when the then Shire of Flin-ders was targeted by the same organi-sation over Mount Arthur. Facing a costly court battle, they chose to re-name it Arthurs Seat.

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

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 tow-er, we’d be ok.”

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

“Everything was going to plan when were notifi ed 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 Eu-rope.

“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 meet-ings to audition yodellers.”

In the end, the best solution was a name change. Mount Eliza will be re-named 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 Al-sace-Lorraine of the peninsula, and it seemed like an opportune time to set-tle 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 amal-gamations under the Kennett govern-ment.

“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 work-ing overtime to make the transition smooth. Street signs and Google maps will be updated to refl ect 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 di-rectly to the United Nations.

Retired property developer, inves-tor 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 heavy-handed approach.”

He described it as “regulation gone mad”. The fi nger of blame, which Sir Herman believes should be the one in the middle, is fi rmly pointed in the di-rection of France.

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

Although many aspects of life in Frankston South West will be un-changed, Sir Herman said he had a large amount of letterhead with his current address on it. “It’s such a trag-ic 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 Goog-le Maps, it said 51.”

Hillary Edmund said no one had the right to be surprised. “The idea of a standard defi nition 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, peo-ple will get used to Frankston South West.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire are busy looking at the legal ramifi cations for Mount Martha. The search has be-gun for a yodellers residence and plans are being made to install a snow mak-ing 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.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 April 1914A PAINFULLY sudden death oc-curred 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 tempo-rary absence, he found his wife dead. The body was removed to Frankston, where Dr Maxwell held an examina-tion, the result of which showed that death was due to natural causes.

***FURTHER robberies have been re-ported 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 har-ness 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 notifi ed that ow-ing 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 offi ce not later than noon on that day to insure insertion.

A speciality will be we understand, pleasure runs for 3 parties of four.

***

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 fi ne 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 fi res, Frankston shire council and the Seaford Progress Association with the Government to 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 sympa-thetic consideration to the matter, although no money was at present available, made the question of the control of the whole of the fore-shore was thus opened up. There was more or less fi tful 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 defi nite fi xed contribution from the Government and some assured contributions from the respective areas affected. That question he would place before Cabinet at the earliest opportunity.

WE’VE all done it. For me, it was about eight years ago when I decided to gift a copy of the Coen Brothers’ fi lm, The Hudsucker Proxy to my father. Like any gift, it was uncondi-tional and the DVD has sat in his col-lection 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 fi lmmakers and it defi es 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 secre-tary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Nikita “Knuckles” Khrushchev, gifted the Crimea region to Ukraine. It was, apparently, a last-minute 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 pos-sible when the protagonist in question is Russian president and all-round amateur He-Man, Vladimir Putin.

Without doubt, one of Putin’s great-est problems is his absolute inability to keep his shirt on. It’s as though he’s allergic to fabric from the belt-line up. Vlad’s one of those guys who has yet to learn that the term “fl exing

your muscle” is not to be taken liter-ally. 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 parlia-ment voted against him and he fl ed

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 fl ed, he left behind a mansion and estate claimed to be worth seventy million US dollars.

The Finnish company that built it

was so impressed they suggested it should be entered into 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 exceed-ed two grand a month.

With Yanukovych gone and elec-tions scheduled for May, Vladimir Putin responded to the unfettered act of aggression of existing by send-ing in the troops. Then, in a move that streamlined democracy, a vote was conducted. The referendum posed two questions: the fi rst was whether the voter wished Crimea to become part of Russia; the second was whether the voter wanted to re-store Crimea’s 1992 constitution that proclaimed self-government. In ef-fect, the only available answers were either “yes” or “perhaps”. Maintain-ing 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 fi ction is beside the point.

The singer Sting, who once told us he hoped the “Russians love their chil-dren too”, has been parachuted into Moscow to either seek urgent diplo-matic talks or, alternatively, challenge the president to a topless arm-wrestle. 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 ap-plause on thirty occasions. No doubt, he dropped to his knees before a cape was lowered across his shoulders that he then threw off before returning to the microphone. He claimed that the vote to Russia was done in accord-ance with all democratic procedures. I doubt it. For starters, I am yet to see any evidence of a sausage sizzle con-ducted 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 tak-ing. 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 fi nd 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 over-whelmingly in my favour.

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

I took it as a sign. Some battles are worth fi ghting but if it requires a dis-cussion 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.

THOUSANDS of people from around the region and further afi eld headed up to Red Hill last Saturday week 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 attrac-tions such as riders doing tricks on motorbikes, stiltwalkers and food sellers with exotic offerings that would have bamboozled your great-grandfather.

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 jump-ing 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

Pet showoffs: Anna Townsend of Shoreham and rat George (left) and Alexis of McCrae with her alpaca Tequila were among hundreds of young people competing at the show on Saturday. Jack Briscoe of Futura Kelpies, bottom left, showed his shearing skills to an attentive audience, bottom right. Pictures: Yanni

PENINSULA LEAGUE PREVIEWBy Toe PuntWHO will challenge Edithvale-As-pendale 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 fi nal 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 al-ways geared towards 2014, this sea-son rather than last year, and their re-cruiting has been exceptional.

Jarrod Garth, a full forward from Keilor, is expected to take this compe-tition 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 re-cruited 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. Dar-ren Booth, after three dominant sea-sons 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 fl ag contender.

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

Shane McDonald broke his arm in an intra-club game and will miss the fi rst 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 for-wards, 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 Bar-ry, Tony Lester, Dave Bodley, Brad Ulms, Stuart Macleod, Kyle Hutch-ison, Ben Tellis, Jai Coghlan and Ricky Morris.

In not-so-good news, Stevey Rob-erts, who returned this season, has done his knee once again, while An-thony 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 fi t and fi r-ing. Daniel Villani is in Queensland due to work commitments but expect-ed back in the second half of the year.

Keep an eye out for the Nolan brothers, Dale (a forward) and Danny (midfi elder), 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 fi ve 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 re-placed 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 fi t 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 interest-ing 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.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

NEPEAN LEAGUE PREVIEWBy Toe PuntAFTER months of training and player move-ments, 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 fi nal by a whopping 79 points.

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

Dromana won’t be the side they were last sea-son. 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 off-season. 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 sea-son. 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 midfi eld 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/midfi elder and Marcus Bate returns from the Bombers.

Another year of play into the 17 and 18 year-olds 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 fi nal 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 re-cruits 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 fi nals series, the Bombers coach Duncan Proud resigned and players looked elsewhere. Retire-ments 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 off-season, although Rohan Swan, Byron Hoe, Chris Hensby and Glenn Anderson are all signifi cant losses.

The Panthers have picked up a few though. Keep an eye on Troy Jacobson from Somerville who will fl y 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.
