Bashed man saved from more harm
A YOUNG man was savagely bashed on Mordialloc pier, 5.30pm, Tuesday 14 November. Police were told a number of men about the same age assaulted the 21-year-old, punching and kicking him unconscious, before dragging him to the edge and preparing to throw him over. A young woman screamed and ran to assist – which may have saved him from drowning, police said later. The attackers fled prior to police arriving. Paramedics arrived and treated the Noble Park man who, despite the beating, received only minor injuries.
Pier ‘glassing’ in unprovoked attack DETECTIVES are appealing for witnesses after another 21-year-old man was bashed and “glassed” with a broken bottle on Mordialloc pier, early evening, Wednesday 18 October. The man, who was with a mate, told police his attacker at first asked for a cigarette before launching a savage assault which included head-butting, punching and kicking. The victim yelled: “What are you doing this for? We haven’t done anything to you.” His attacker then smashed a bottle on the steel railing and used it to stab his victim in the face. Bystanders called 000. The victim received a broken nose, broken teeth, and cuts to his face in the unprovoked attack which forced him to take a week off work to recover. Detective Senior Constable Colin Lavelle, of Kingston CIU, said the attacker was about 17 years old, of Asian appearance, 156cm tall, with shoulder length black hair. He was wearing a cream-coloured beret. CCTV shows him walking past the Bay Hotel and catching a bus in Centreway.

MEMORY ETERNAL A moment of magic as I turned to see The wonder of nature before me Pack-laden and wet, yet I stand, Enthralled by the beauty of this lovely land. Like a curtain of gossamer it drifted across the plain. The rain! Billowing like the finest silk from an open window pane. The mist! Gently it fell from a distant hole in the sky Dew kissed! Softly as a plaintive cry for an unattainable wish, I stood alone in this unforgettable time And knew a moment that was truly mine. Mary Lyons

A FORMER bush walker turned bush poet will have her poetry preserved in print in a project that proves it is never too late to have written work published. Mary Lyons, 87, a former Mt Martha resident and keen walker in the Peninsula Bushwalking Club in the 1980s and 1990s is now mostly confined to a wheelchair at Somercare in Somerville but her love of life living amongst nature is vividly described in her poetry. She worked as a tobacco picker, hop picker and dairy hand. Husband Norm passed on after 54 years of marriage. Family friend Kev Cooper, whose mother also resides at Somercare, said he is gathering the bush poet’s work together to publish in an ebook next year. “My objective is simply to share Mary’s beautiful poetry with the world,” he said. The ebook, called Poetry of the Australian High Country, is written by Lyons from her life experiences living in the Victorian and Tasmanian bush over a 40-year period. Mr Cooper said The Henry Lawson Society poetry and literacy group, based in Kingston and headed by Tony Lambides-Turner, visited Somercare last month to hear readings of the poems. Ms Lyons was inducted as an honorary life member of the Peninsula Bushwalking Club in 1992 by then president Alan Miller. Current club president John Trevillian described Ms Lyons as “a real character with a great love of the bush”. “Mary is a very unassuming character that would never chase the limelight,” Mr Cooper said. “I rate Mary’s poetry works as equal to any of our Australian greats along with the likes of Banjo Paterson, Henry Lawson, CJ Dennis and Dorothea McKellar.”
