NEWS DESK Crash landing
A DELIVERY truck knocked over a large tree in the car park of the Western Port hotel last week causing a “real mess”, police said. Senior Constable Scott West, of Hastings police, said the big gum tree fell onto several cars, crushing bonnets and smashing windscreens, Thursday morning 9 November. “The driver reversed and clipped the tree which must have been rotten at the base because it tipped right over and hit three cars,” he said.
Bushfire information session
A FREE bushfire information session is being held at Crib Point Fire Brigade, 7.30-9.30pm, today (Tuesday 14 November). The session will offer local updates, including essential decisions families need to make to be fire ready; how and where fires are likely to start and spread around Crib Point, and how to stay informed should a fire threaten your area. The venue is the Crib Point Fire Station, 137 Disney St, Crib Point.
Foot found on beach
HUMAN remains found washed up on the beach at Fingal are thought to be those of a 78-year-old fisherman who was swept off rocks at Blairgowrie ocean beach, Sunday 29 October. A woman walking along Gunnamatta beach found a fishing boot with a man’s foot inside near the end of Truemans Rd, 11.05am, Tuesday 7 November, and called police. The fibia and tibia were protruding. Sergeant Mick Russell, of Rosebud police, said the remains had been sent for analysis.
Children remember the fallen REMEMBRANCE Day came into its own this year when 200 St Joseph’s Primary School children and their parents laid a wreath at the Crib Point cenotaph. Crib Point RSL president John Ord welcomed them, saying Anzac Day had always been popular with the children, while attendances on Re-
membrance Day were usually small. Attendances are now better balanced. “This year St Joseph’s decided to move their service to the cenotaph to commemorate the achievements of Defence personnel in conflicts around the world to protect our freedom as we know it today,” Mr Ord said. “Wreaths were also laid by the RSL
and naval personnel to remember the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and the suffering of the many wounded.” The school service was conducted on Friday 10 November as Remembrance day was on a Saturday.

You don’t have to live with the fear of your back ‘going’ Do you have back pain caused by problems such as degenerative disc disease, arthritis, sacroiliac joint strain or facet joint pain? My name is Paul Rowson, physiotherapist and owner of Back In Motion Balnarring. Back pain keeps you from enjoying the good things in life, like gardening, playing golf, time with the grandkids, or playing your favourite sport. It can certainly make you feel older than you are.
Pain killers on their own are not the answer. There is a time to use pain killers, but not before seeking out a natural way to correct the cause of the back pain. If that is you, are you any better off for it? At Back In Motion Balnarring, it has been our mission to help people across the Mornington Peninsula achieve optimal health. For me, this starts with fixing your back problem.

New clients say this often and here’s the reason why. Firstly, we provide an in-depth Free Initial Assessment to determine the cause of your back problem and listen to your concerns. In your Free Initial Assessment we will look at your lower limb biomechanics, leg length, flexibility and laxity between your vertebrae, as well as tight and overactive muscles that may be affecting your ability to move freely. We will also assess the back and abdominal muscles that control your back movement and stability. After we have explained the cause of your pain, you can decide if you wish to proceed with treatment.
If you do decide to proceed, treatment will involve manual therapy, massage and mobilisation as well as an exercise program tailored to your specific needs. We also offer clinical Pilates with a physiotherapist, again tailored to your goals and needs. This is vital to maintain a strong back so you can enjoy a future without repeated painful setbacks, which can impact your quality of life.
