CLAIMS that council payments to external consultants are on the rise made Frankston Council CEO Den-nis Hovenden see red at last week’s public council meeting as it emerged a committee of councillors to monitor external consultancy fees paid out by council was never established despite being mandated by councillors four years ago.

A visibly angry Mr Hovenden said

payments to consultants have fallen during his tenure as CEO as council-lors asked him to put a fi gure on how much consultancy fees have declined at council’s latest public meeting.

“It is a fact that the executive man-agement team are all across things that are happening in this organisation around consultants,” Mr Hovenden said.

“I meet with the procurement de-partment on a weekly basis. Some-thing came across my desk the other day – we were going to appoint a consultant for three years and spend

$100,000. I put a stop to it.” Former mayor and councillor Kris

Bolam has questioned “wasteful spending” on external consultants after payments to outside consultants jumped from $1.2 million in 2009 to $1.7 million in 2013, the latest break-down of such payments provided by council under freedom of information laws (‘Cash out as consultants cash in’, The Times 26/4/16).

Mr Hovenden was hired by Frankston Council as CEO in Sep-tember 2012.

At last Tuesday evening’s public

meeting Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said overall consultancy fees since 2013 have fallen.

“Some have gone down, some have gone up,” Cr Dooley said.

FRANKSTON police’s Operation Shadow aims to investigate, disrupt and arrest known repeat offenders en-gaged in high volume crime.

Superintendent Glenn Weir, who heads Southern Metro region, said thefts of cars and from cars would re-ceive a high priority focus, as would public order and anti-social behaviour at shopping centres and train stations.

“The state government has an-nounced the provision of extra police and we hope we get our fair share in Frankston to bolster our capacity,” he said.

“Hopefully it will fl ow onto the whole Mornington Peninsula down the track.”

Superintendent Weir said the Frankston police district was suffering “an amazing number of high-volume crimes”, such as car theft and thefts from cars, house break-ins, petrol drive offs and assaults – many by re-peat offenders.

“We know they are being committed by certain groups in the community

and we make no apology for targeting them,” he said.

“Some will be identifi ed by DNA or fi ngerprints but there will be many other policing methods used, such as having plain clothes and uniform po-lice out and about in the community, as well as surveillance of people we know are no good, for example, in shopping centres.

“Operation Shadow – run from Frankston and Carrum Downs police stations –

is about the intelligence assessment of what we see and who we see com-mitting offences.”

Residents are invited to view the po-lice Eyewatch Facebook page which aims to empower the community in crime prevention activities and ensure community safety.

The online forum for crime and anti-social behaviour runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Residents are invited to dob in of-fenders to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Stephen Taylor

On the lookout for carOn the lookout for carFRANKSTON detectives would like to hear from residents or walkers who saw three men and a silver Ford Territory parked at Langwarrin Equestrian Reserve, near the intersection of Cozy Valley Rd and Huntingtower Cr, on the morning of Wednesday 30 March.

Detective Senior Constable Kerryn Merrett said the car – with its bonnet up – was parked near the entrance to the pony club, 7-8.30am.

She said the men may be linked to a series of offences, including theft, at Frankston, Pearcedale and Narre Warren.

“People may have seen them and if they let us know it can help our inquiries.”Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or Detective Merrett 9784 5555.

TWO-TIMES Frankston mayor and current councillor Sandra Mayer has recorded a song highlighting the plight of women trapped in an abusive relationship.

Cr Mayer, under the artist name Shania May-er, will launch the song Getaway at a domestic violence candlelight vigil held by Safe Steps at Federation Square Wednesday 4 May, 6pm.

Cr Mayer says the song’s lyrics encourage women to leave the abusive relationship.

“Many people who have heard it have had an emotional reaction. It seems to strike a chord in people. I called it Getaway rather than Runaway, because leaving an abusive relationship can be an extremely dangerous time and therefore is something you need to plan and do carefully,” she said.

“I wrote it from both personal experience and listening to other women talk about their experi-ences. It wasn’t an easy song to write. I cried so much when I was writing it that I couldn’t even sing it and I got emotional while recording the vocals and the music video too.”

Cr Mayer says there is a shortage of effec-tive domestic violence prevention and early intervention programs in Frankston and 50 per cent of any profi t from sales of the song will be donated to such programs.

CDs will be sold at the Federation Square launch and Getaway will be available for digital sale on CDbaby and iTunes from the release date of 4 May.

The music video will also be available to watch on YouTube.

See shania115.wix.com/mayer or facebook.com/shaniamayermusic for further details.

Careless acts help thievesCareless acts help thieves

Lesson learned: Langwarrin resident Steve Haddow laments leaving his garage door and car unlocked. Picture: Gary Sissons

Stephen [email protected]

“IT was a stupid thing to do”, admittedly, but eas-ily done: the ramifi cations, though, are irritating, far-reaching – and costly.

Langwarrin resident Steve Haddow made the mistake of leaving the keys in his car and his ga-rage door open, Wednesday night 20 April, and unwittingly became a target for thieves who are stealing an increasing number of cars from drive-ways and garages in the suburb.

And, while the ease of the thefts is driving po-lice mad, they are even more frustrated that resi-dents are not heeding their message: Lock your car and your house overnight and hide your keys to prevent thefts.

In the Frankston police area, gangs regularly patrol streets at night to see if cars have been left unlocked, or testing house doors and windows looking for easy entry so they can steal keys – and then cars – for use in other crimes, such as petrol drive offs, getaway cars, ram raids and assaults.

Mr Haddow, of Gumnut Drive, remembers driv-ing to Langwarrin Plaza and returning with “an armful of groceries”, before driving into the ga-rage and taking the shopping inside – forgetting to remove the keys from the ignition.

Later that evening he asked a friend if the ga-rage door was closed and was told “No, it’s open”.

“I went out and pressed the remote to shut the door and that’s where the story becomes confus-ing,” he admitted.

“I got up at 3.30am as usual to go to work and pressed the remote again and saw that the door was actually closing – not opening, so there is some confusion as to whether it was open or closed overnight.”

The car – a Holden Lumina 2001 – was gone and, with it, the car keys, house keys, some tools and the spare garage remote control.

As a result the security of Mr Haddow’s world is gone and the costs and inconvenience are mount-ing.

“I’ve had to replace all the door locks, get a

new remote control as well as hunt for a new car, which I am doing right now,” he said Thursday.

“I know it sounds really stupid that I didn’t go and actually check that the garage door was shut or that I had the keys with me inside.”

The single dad with four children, aged 23, 21, 18 and 16, said his wage never allowed for the luxury of car insurance and now he’s on his own.

A check with CityLink showed the car had been used three times since being stolen and this could go on indefi nitely.

“It’s a straight out inconvenience,” said Mr Haddow, who ran the Pearcedale bakery for 10 years. “It’s something that could so easily have been addressed at the time.”

Detective Leading Senior Constable Craig Goudy, of Frankston CIU, described Langwar-rin as “a real target area” for car thieves.

“From 20-27 April there were 48 thefts from motor vehicles – most left unlocked – in the Frankston police district and half of these were in Langwarrin,” he said.

“Of the 15 cars stolen, six had keys inside and most of the others involved thieves walking into an unlocked house and stealing car keys.”

Nearby, in the early hours of Sunday 24 April, thieves robbed another unlocked vehicle in Gumnut Dr, Langwarrin, stealing two tool bags, as well as the victim’s wallet containing various bank cards.

“The offenders have then had a fi eld day at 24-hour servos, including BP Langwarrin, Coles Express as well as a Hungry Jacks, racking up over $550 in transactions,” Detective Goudy said.

“This is just another typical example of what is so frustrating when vehicles are left unlocked with valuables left inside.

“If people would only lock their cars and houses overnight the rate of thefts would drop dramatically. Thieves might break a window to gain entry, but then they would possibly leave behind evidence that police could follow up later.”

THE Environment Protection Au-thority has ranked Port Phillip Bay beaches and Yarra River locations over summer and nine beaches are named in equal fi rst place for the best recreational water quality.

Hampton, Seaford, Portsea, Ca-nadian Bay, Sandringham, Elwood, Rosebud, Santa Casa and Black Rock all offered the best recreational water quality, while Half Moon Bay, Portar-lington, Carrum and South Melbourne beaches equalled 10th spot.

EPA group manager of applied sci-ences Anthony Boxshall said each of Port Phillip’s 36 beaches was ranked according to EPA and Melbourne Wa-ter’s weekly water quality monitoring data from 1 November 2015 until 10 April this year.

“Beach Report and Yarra Watch provide water quality information to the public so they can make informed

decisions about swimming in Port Phillip or at certain areas along the Yarra River,” Dr Boxshall said.

“Port Phillip water quality beach forecasts were ‘Good’ 75 per cent of the time, ‘Fair’ for 19 per cent and ‘Poor’ for 6 per cent of the time. Our beaches are great places to visit and the 2015-16 summer was particularly good for swimming conditions.

“On the whole, the 36 beaches in Port Phillip and four swimming loca-tions along the Yarra River had a great summer for water quality; however several heavy downpours of rain did at times affect water quality at some sites, particularly those with stormwa-ter outlets.

“EPA advises the community to avoid swimming near stormwater or river outlets 24–48 hours after rain or in areas where water is discoloured, or debris, oil and scum is visible.”

Dr Boxshall said most of the bay’s beaches met EPA’s water quality objectives for the whole of summer and were safe to swim in during fi ne weather, with 97 per cent of beaches meeting EPA objectives for swim-ming – up from 94 per cent for the same period last year and 53 per cent in 2011–12.

In 2015–16, the length of the season was increased in response to warmer temperatures forecast for November, with the season starting on 1 Novem-ber and running through until the end of school holidays on 10 April.

EPA Beach Report and Yarra Watch will begin again in December.

RULES governing Frankston council-lors’ expenses have not been updated for more than a decade despite coun-cil admitting it is “best practice” to re-view policies at least once every four years.

Frankston Council’s current ex-pense entitlement policy for council-lors was formulated in 1998 and was last amended in 2004.

The policy stipulates the type of ex-penses - including travel, study, phone and child care costs - councillors can claim as out-of-pocket costs incurred while performing duties as a council-lor.

The intervening 12 years since the expenses policy was reviewed has seen new technology such as iPads and tablets and associated internet usage by councillors for council busi-ness claimed as expenses.

When asked why expenses rules had not been reviewed for more than 10 years, council CEO Dennis Hov-enden, who joined the council from Swan Hill Rural City Council in Sep-tember 2012, said in a statement that he and council’s executive team had decided to review the policy in early 2015.

“We aim to review each policy every four years as a measure of best practice,” Council CEO Dennis Hov-enden said.

“The Councillor’s Expense Entitle-ment Policy dates back to 1998 and has subsequently been updated with amendments. This policy is currently under review by council offi cers and the executive management team.”

The existing expenses policy is not available to view on council’s website and is marked as a ‘new policy to be developed’.

Mr Hovenden said the existing ex-penses policy was not deliberately re-moved from the site.

“All policies highlighted for review weren’t added to the new council website when it was introduced two years ago.”

Councillor expenses were thrust into the spotlight last month when

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke used parliamentary privilege to attack Cr Darrel Taylor for “spending twice as much [$25,371] as the ratepayer funds on himself than anyone else” (‘MP guns for councillor’, The Times 28/3/16).

Cr Taylor, a Liberal Party member, said his expenses were higher in the year highlighted by Mr Edbrooke since he was the mayor that year.

At council’s public meeting in March, Cr Taylor likened Premier Daniel Andrews to Ned Kelly over a $2000 metropolitan planning levy to be charged as part of the Frankston Regional Basketball Stadium.

He withdrew the remark after being reminded by Mr Hovenden that coun-

cillors have no equivalent to parlia-mentary privilege protection against defamation legal action when making public remarks.

Frankston Council’s failure to dis-play its councillors’ expenses policy for public view on its website is in contrast to neighbouring Mornington Peninsula Shire and Kingston Council which both make councillor expenses guidelines available for ratepayers to see.

Mornington Peninsula Shire and Kingston Council both last reviewed councillor expenses policies in 2013.

Kingston Council makes specifi c reference to newer technology such as iPad tablets in its updated expenses rules.

THE allocation of $50 million for the redevelopment of the Frankston train station precinct was the headline act for Frankston in this year’s state budget re-leased last week.

The cash splash is confi rmation of Labor’s pre-election promise before the 2014 state election to revamp the station and its surrounds into “state-of-the-art transport hub” (‘’Fast track’ for station upgrade’, The Times 17/11/14).

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the government is keen to push ahead with the station redevelopment to “get it done” despite some questioning the pre-election pledge when $13.1 mil-lion for the project was allocated in last

year’s state budget.“Some people said they’d believe it

when they see it and it’s time to start believing,” Mr Edbrooke said. “This project will transform the station and its surrounds, making it a safe, modern hub for transport, TAFE and shopping.”

“Frankston has been dominated by naysayers for years and we’re getting on with it.”

McClelland Secondary College was also a big local winner from this year’s state budget with $5.8 million announced to build modern buildings to replace age-ing facilities.

Carrum Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny hailed the confi rmation of $154.5 million

in funding for the Thompsons Rd dupli-cation project as a boon for Frankston.

“I am thrilled that we are going to de-liver this vital project for the local com-munity,” Ms Kilkenny said.

“During peak periods, motorists will save over 10 minutes in travel time along Thompsons Rd.”

The Carrum Downs Recreation Re-serve Pavilion will also be overhauled thanks to $1.05 million announced in this year’s budget and $75,000 will go towards a community cafe at Carrum Downs Community Cafe.

Liberal opposition spokesman for lo-cal government David Davis accused the Labor state government of “short-chang-

ing” councils on infrastructure funding in the long run due to the government’s rate capping policy.

“Despite being awash with massive cash after huge state government tax rises, after Daniel Andrews’ savage cut to grants and transfers to Local Govern-ment last year, Victorian councils will still receive $14.2 million less this year than under the last budget of the former Coalition state government,” Mr Davis said in a statement.

“Councils are suffering the double whammy of an ongoing real cut to state government grants and transfers and the reality of a 2.5 per cent rate cap.”

FIRST aid training came in handy in Israel for Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke who helped an in-jured man on the streets of Tel Aviv last week.

Mr Edbrooke said he was grabbing a bite to eat after a meeting at the Australia Israel Chamber of Commerce in Tel Aviv when he noticed a man having a fi t on a median strip.

The Labor MP and his dining companion im-mediately ran to the man’s aid and Mr Edbrooke’s fi rst aid training learned as a fi refi ghter before he became a politician kicked in.

An eyewitness from technology company Cas-tle Builders tweeted Mr Edbrooke “saved a life”.

The Frankston MP played down his role in helping the injured man when contacted by The Times saying it had been a joint effort by passers-by to aid the man, who was bleeding from a head

wound, before an ambulance quickly arrived on the scene.

“I just controlled the situation a bit, cleared his airway and managed the bleeding,” Mr Edbrooke said.

He said he was in Israel to study business incu-bation models to possibly replicate in Frankston.

He also took time to investigate how Israeli authorities dispense methadone to drug addicts to see whether any lessons can be learned about dispensing opioid replacement therapies from pharmacies near Frankston train station.

PLANS for the redevelopment of Young St have been given the go-ahead by Frankston Council at its latest council meeting.

“Council is delighted to announce its support of the Victorian Government’s Design and Development Report of the Redevelopment of Young Street,” Mayor Cr James Dooley said.

With works set to commence in July 2016 and be completed by March 2017, this is the fi rst stage in the $63 million Victorian Government commitment towards the revitalisation of the Frankston Station Precinct.

“Young Street is a very important gateway in our city centre and we look forward to it be-ing transformed into a hub for our community members and visitors to meet, shop and enjoy spending leisure time in,” Cr Dooley said.

“The positive long-term economic, environ-mental and social benefi ts of this vital project go right to the core of Council’s Frankston Metro-politan Activity Centre Structure Plan.”

Some of the many benefi ts of this redevelop-ment include improved public transport con-nectivity, greening of the area and improving air quality and improved pedestrian and footpath amenities.

The Young St redevelopment will support other imminent private sector developments including the expansion of Chisholm TAFE and upgrades to the Frankston train station.

“This key project has been at the top of the Frankston community’s priority list for many years, with the $13 million development of Young Street, managed by VicRoads, being an exciting fi rst step towards changing the face of Frankston,” Cr Dooley said.

“Council looks forward to working with the State government and VicRoads as the redevel-opment of the entire Frankston Station precinct gets underway.”

Council endorsed the State government’s Design and Development Report and will have more discussions about landscaping options and tests on the cleaning of proposed pavers to ensure associated maintenance costs, to be maintained by council, are practical for long-term durability.

PARAMEDIC, personal trainer and a fi gure competi-tor Kimberley Parrott is a living advertisement for a healthy lifestyle.

The undefeated Australasian Natural Bodybuilding Fitness Mania Overall Women’s Figure Champion recently won her second title in two years.

The win has qualifi ed her to compete in the Ulti-mate Fitness Events World Championship elite divi-sion in Toronto, Canada, in November.

Parrott said bodybuilding was growing in popular-ity, throughout the world and on the peninsula.

“My journey as a bodybuilder and fi gure competi-tor began two years ago after attending a workshop. While listening to other competitors and feeling the passion from those around me, I knew that getting on stage was something I wanted to do.”

Ms Parrott, of Frankston, had been weight training for 15 years, but then “everything changed as there was a new focus”.

She and trainer Ty Hanley, of Hanley’s Fitness Mornington, began working towards getting her on stage to compete in her fi rst show in March last year.

“I already had good muscle mass, but due to my having scoliosis, we were presented with issues regarding symmetry in my back,” she said.

“Symmetry is a large part of what is judged in a fi gure competitor, so this was something we needed to address immediately.”

Correction was achieved with unilateral weight training and regular treatments from a physiothera-pist, myotherapist and chiropractor.

Her weekly shifts as a full time paramedic involve two 10-hour days, a 12-hour afternoon shift and a 14-hour night shift, leaving little time left for training.

“My sights were set on the win, so nothing was go-ing to stop me from training,” Parrott said. “I would

get up at 4am and train before my 7am starts, and I would fi nish my night shift and head straight to the gym to work out.

“I am also a part time personal trainer. There were days when fi tting everything in was a challenge, espe-cially closer to competition when I was doing a lot of walking, but I never missed a workout.”

A last-minute decision to compete in a smaller competition to help ease fi rst-time nerves paid off with wins in the novice women’s fi gure and women’s fi gure tall.

“After a quick turnaround I was back on stage to compete for Overall Women’s Champion. In my fi rst year of competing, and against many seasoned com-petitors, I became ANB’s Women’s Overall Figure Champion, qualifying for last year’s world titles in Toronto,” Parrott said.

However, other commitments, including being bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding on the same week-end, meant she could not compete.

So, she began training to defend her title and requalify, with the focus still on symmetry but also on “adding muscle mass so I could bring a bigger and better body to the stage”.

On 2 April Parrott took to the stage to defend her title. “I won my two divisions, Women’s Masters 35-plus and Women’s Figure Tall, with an additional win for best routine,” she said.

“It was then time for Overalls, the moment we had spent all year building towards … and it was a unani-mous vote from all the judges: I became Women’s Figure Overall Champion for the second year running. Again, I qualifi ed for the UFE Worlds in Toronto at the end of November.

“I have had one day off and am back into training, and cannot wait to see what we can achieve and what I can bring to the stage,”

A Canadian by birth, Parrott says her dream of com-peting in her home country “is going to come true”.Winner’s spoils: Figure competitor Kim Parrott enjoys the rewards of her success.

Continued from Page 1“The report should also be used as

a reference point for the CEO to iden-tify departments within the organisation where professional development op-portunities may have to be afforded to reduce dependency upon the use of con-sultants,” Cr Bolam’s notice of motion stated at the time.

No action on establishing the commit-tee proposed by Cr Hampton was sub-sequently taken under the management of former CEO George Modrich before Mr Hovenden’s arrival and council elec-tions in October 2012 saw many of the councillors who ordered the committee’s formation leave council.

“This has not been acted on. It’s just been forgotten about,” Cr Hampton said at last week’s council meeting.

Mr Hovenden fi red up at this assertion.“I draw the line … I take offence at the

comment that it hasn’t been acted upon,” Mr Hovenden said. “We may not be re-porting to the councillors about it [con-sultancy fees] … but we are living within our budget and are reducing costs.”

He said councillors get a breakdown of costs for capital works projects such as the building of the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre including payments to external architects and lawyers.

Council was also forced to pay $5 mil-lion in legal fees recently to negotiate a $9 million settlement with Casey Council over a methane gas leak at Stevenson Rd landfi ll in Cranbourne, formerly a joint tip for both councils (‘Tip dispute costs councils’, The Times 8/12/14).

“The fact that a committee hasn’t been

formed doesn’t mean the work [to moni-tor consultancy fees] hasn’t happened,” Mr Hovenden said.

“I’m not quite sure that I need a com-mittee to tell me how to do my job.”

Despite Mr Hovenden’s reservations, councillors at the latest council meet-ing unanimously backed Cr Hampton’s urgent notice of motion, introduced as a result of last week’s report in The Times about consultancy fees, to establish a committee of councillors to meet with the CEO to further discuss consultancy fees.

Mr Hovenden said he “is happy” to meet with any councillors about consul-tancy fees.

“We are reducing expenditure, we are working smarter. Yes, we make mistakes. It’s a fact. Who doesn’t? But I think we have got it right and I’m intrigued as to what the committee is going to do be-yond what we are doing now – reporting to councillors through the capital works program,” he said. “The simplest thing to do if want to do if you want to cut out consultants is to stop doing things. Would the community demand that of us?”

Cr Glenn Aitken said councillors need to regularly monitor payments to consult-ants.

“I do think we need to keep our fi nger on the pulse of consultancy fees. We do need to be very demanding about why we’re getting consultants, what they’re really doing and how much they’re cost-ing and what they’re producing,” he said.

“We have had some consultants come in here and the end product has been anything but satisfactory. That’s a lot of money spent for very little return.”

A QUIET morning’s walk at Moorooduc quarry for two friends last week was ruined when a stolen car smashed through wire gates and was driven into the deep water.

It is believed two young men had been in the car – one possibly jumping out before it hit the water and the other breaking free and swimming to shore before it sank. Events are unclear as no one actually saw the pair leave the car.

Frankston South resident Sharon (surname withheld) and a friend heard a “car come fl ying through the [locked] gate where the ranger has access”.

“We didn’t see it then, but we heard it and later we saw the gate had been ploughed down,” she said.

“We saw the car come fl ying by and then we heard a loud splash in the water.”

The car – possibly a Toyota Prado stolen from Frankston South the previous day – was half submerged “nose down and a fair way out” before it sank.

“We don’t know if the windows were down, or even if there was anyone in the car at the time,” Sharon said. “It all happened so quickly we can’t make sense of it.”

The pair had a split second earlier seen a young man, de-scribed as being caucasian, early 20s, long hair, wearing a hoodie, walk past them towards the road. “We assume he was from the car, but have no way of knowing,” she said. “He certainly didn’t look like the people who walk there at seven in the morning.”

While calling police they heard another man getting out

of the water. “He was a long way from where the car went down and so we don’t know for sure whether he swam from it or not,” she said.

“My friend saw him walk away from the water and disap-pear.

“It freaked us out; it’s not something you expect to see – the whole thing was bizarre.

“If we hadn’t been there no one would have seen any of this and no one would know where the car had gone. We feel sorry for the owners.

“The whole thing’s been playing on my mind – not know-ing if we could have done something to help.

“We have the peace of mind knowing that the people got out but, until they pull the car up, we have no real way of knowing if they were the only ones in it. We’ve been in shock.”

Search and rescue squad members were called to the quarry on Monday to search for the car but another drama – searching for a man lost in the bush at Merrijig – was given priority. They did not attend the scene until Thursday.

Leading Senior Constable Christopher Bird, of Morning-ton police, said a patrol of the area failed to fi nd the young men. He downplayed suggestions of gang-related activity and said there was nothing to suggest anyone else was in the car when it hit the water.

Doctor Sally Shaw and her team are aiming for a natural age appropriate result, utilizing the latest in medical skin care equipment and techniques. They have thoroughly researched the products and treatments, and have chosen to offer only the safe and effective procedures. The aim is to help you achieve the facial enhancement and rejuvenation that allows your natural beauty to be maintained renewed and repaired.

PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma often referred to

as the VAMPIRE Facial PRP is a revolutionary new injectable treat-

ment, designed to rejuvenate and regenerate skin conditions at a dermal level. PRP uses your own blood plasma, which has a high concentration of platelets. This means it is entirely compat-ible and avoids the need for artifi cial products to enter the skin. PRP can help regenerate and revitalise aged and scarred skin, reduce fi ne lines and improve skin texture. It uses the bodies own healing pathway to create collagen.

Ulthera - non-surgical face liftUlthera uses ultrasound energy to stimulates

the body’s own natural healing process to lift the chin, neck, and face, to smooth lines and wrinkles on the décolletage achieving incredible results and a youthful look over time. This pro-

cedure is targeted at tightening the deep fascia of the face and is capable of lifting the aging skin from the deep layers. It is great for a neck lift, or sagging jowls and no surgery is needed.

Hydrafacial - instant improvement to skin health

Hydrafacial combines exfoliation and deep cleansing to the surface layer of the skin. The practitioner applies glycolic acid, exfoliates, then vacuums off the dead skin. Next, antioxi-dants and nutrients are applied to the fresh skin and a moisturizer is applied to seal in the ben-efi ts. This new technology improves skin health and creates an instantly noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture. It will leave your skin “glowing” immediately.

Injectables - creating natural enhancementDr Sally Shaw has sourced the most natural

injectables with less protein complexes to avoid unknown toxins entering the skin. The Wellness Manor Doctors and Nurses are very experienced at creating a natural look which gives you confi -dence to face the world with minimal makeup.

operation.” ***

LETTERS From The Front. The fol-lowing extracts are taken from a letter from Private “Sandy” Bray, to his par-ents, which was received this week:— Since writing last we have been transferred from the trenches and I am now in the artillery. It is altogether different from the other work. The weather is now very hot. Australia is nothing to it. We go about in nothing but short pants and a helmet, and are as brown as a copper kettle. Beforewe were transferred there was a sports meeting and I won the 100 yards handicap. As this is the second I have won over here I must be pretty fi t. Nearly all the boys from Frankston are here now. Bert Roberts is back from England and looking well. We are having a good time in the artil-lery and are being fi tted out with ev-erything new. I have not seen Roger Burton, but Dick Davies told me he saw him at Zeitoun. Athol Hague is an orderly in the hospital at Heliopolis, he has grown a lot and looks in the pink of condi-tion. We get well looked after in the provision line and are supplied with bacon, cheese, condensed milk, dried fi gs etc, so there is nothing to com-plain about, and I never felt better, I will close now. I can’t say our next move, but think it will be soon.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, but

They are often ignored. We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on some common foot and leg concerns and things to be aware of:

Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, causing problems in; ankles, shins, knees, hips, backs and necks. Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis,

nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.

Scientifi c research clearly demonstrates the direct effect chronic foot pain can have upon both your physical and mental health. Foot and leg problems left untreated almost

always get worse Common ailments such as; Plantar Fasciitis,

Heel, Shin, Ankle and Knee pain are often mis-diagnosed and mistreated Common treatments such as cortisone and

anti-infl ammatory medications are proven to delay healing and cause further damage in many cases Contrary to popular belief an experienced

Help for painful feet and legs Help for painful feet and legs Sports or Musculoskeletal Podiatrist is the most appropriate person to diagnose and assist foot and leg pain.

THE GOOD NEWS IS:Thanks to the latest medical research and

treatments most foot and leg pain, injuries and degenerative concerns like arthritis can now be treated relatively easily, without the use of damaging medications or surgery.

The key to healing is correct diagnosis and appropriate, individualized treatment. An expe-rienced Sports or Musculoskeletal Podiatrist has the specifi c knowledge and expertise to assist pain and mobility issues concerning the feet and lower limbs.

Sports & Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr.

David Kavanagh, from Foot + Leg Pain Clinics said “People often endure painful conditions for too long, they assume nothing can be done or receive inappropriate treatments that may pro-vide some immediate relief but don’t address the cause, which is vital for successful, long-term healing.

With correct diagnosis and treatment there is usually a simple, natural solution for most foot and leg pain. We can even assist soft tis-sue repair and regeneration thanks to the latest medical research and treatments.”

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have practices iin Mt Eliza and Rosebud. Call 1300 328 300.

I HAD made multiple attempts at dietary programs during years of young children. I had always battled with weight issues but it was worse after having my three children.

I tried Gloria Marshall, Weight watchers and Jenny Craig which was a signifi cant fi nancial outlay with little long term success.

At my heaviest weight I was 110kg and I joined a gym and lost 35kgs over two years. That was back in 2005 to 2006.

Over the next 5 years in spite of a Personal Trainer and going to the gym 3 times a week with more fi nancial outlay I regained 5kg a year. (25 kgs back on).

After consulting with Mr. Ray Mc.Henry, we made a joint decision to try the Orbera Intra Gastric Bal-

loon. Unfortunately I was unable to have the balloon due to medical reasons.

I was actually relieved I couldn’t have it done rather than disap-pointed.

After further consultation with Ray McHenry we decided on the Gastric Band, which I had done in January 2011.

Initially I had success with weight loss and lost 25kgs. I began to have increasing issues with intolerance which caused me to slowly regain the weight.

Eighteen months after having the gastric band surgery Mr. McHenry removed my Gastric Band. With no gastric band in place, I regained all the weight I had lost over the next 12 months despite following a

careful healthy eating and exercise program.

After having a Sleeve Gastrecto-my performed in June 2014 I have lost 35 kgs. I am healthy, happy and I have great quality of life. This is much easier than managing a Gastric Band and my BMI is down to 23.

“I now feel like the me that was always hidden on the inside.”

I am off blood pressure medica-tion, my knee problems which were heading towards knee replacement have now signifi cantly improved. I am now looking forward to healthy active retirement.

It has been quite a journey but the team at LAPSurgery Australia have supported me all the way to success. THANK YOU!

Why Cardiac Rehabilitation Is Good For YouHEART Week shines a spotlight on Australia’s heart health. This year, The Heart Foundation of Australia is talking about how attending cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack can save lives, with research indicating that those who attend a structured cardiac rehabilitation program are 40% less likely to suffer another heart attack.

What is Cardiac rehabilitation?Cardiac rehabilitation is a supervised program that helps you recover from an acute heart event such as a heart attack, heart surgery or other procedures (stent insertion and angioplasty).

At St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital, we have many patients coming directly to our hospital from their acute hospital. We work closely to assist them with their recovery and building their strength before returning home. Our patients have a personalised rehabilitation program created to cater for their individual needs.We can also assess their home environment to ensure they can safely return home. Many of our inpatients continue their rehabilitation with us as an outpatient.

Our outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program is a rolling six week group based program incorporating twice weekly sessions of exercise combined with education. The program helps people lead healthier, more active lives.

Australia’s iconic classic rock band The Screaming Jets are back after an eight-year hiatus between albums, with their latest and greatest new release entitled Chrome. This seventh studio album has been a labour of love, with a mix of new songs that has a slightly new bent to their sound, to say the least, leaving the boys wildly excited with the fi nished product.

The Screaming Jets will be touring and showcasing their new material, but keeping authentic to their rockin’ history by pulling out all their biggest hits along the way.

I chatted to Dave Gleeson recently and this is what the effervescent front man had to say.

“We are really excited to have the new album and realize it has been too long in between but nevertheless we are pumped. We actually played a bunch of the new songs during our tour in December last year, when Chrome was supposed to be released, and were delighted with the response. Paul Woseen wrote the bulk of the songs and Jimi Hocking and I wrote a couple as well. It was a great process working with Paulie, as he came in with about 25 acoustics. We listened to them

all and then whittled it down to the songs we wanted to concentrate on, then built them up from there, which was a fi rst, really. Paulie writes awesome rock songs, awesome in their arrangement, and he’s a great lyricist. I can’t wait to hear what people think of the album!”

Recently The Jets gigged with legendary guitarist/songwriter, Rockin’ Rob Riley at the Boom Boom Room in Adelaide. Riley is best known for churning out remarkable songs for Rose Tattoo, Dallimore and The Party Boys. Slash from Guns n Roses claims Riley is his favourite guitarist of all times.

Laughs Gleeson, “On the night I might have had a couple of sherbets before the show, but that’s because I was enjoying Rob’s gig. He’s a great guitar player and I just love his voice.”

I assured him most fans would realize that’s just “Dave being Dave.” Chuckling, he said, “There’s two kind of vibes for me. Obviously when we do our shows and go on tour, you can’t go on stage too loose, but when it comes to playing parties and stuff... well, I let loose and get into my songs.”

It certainly appears it is a formula fans enjoy because for the last few years, The Jets have

been doing one tour a year, keeping their loyal supporters in the loop and staying active in the industry.

However, with their latest album Chrome being offi cially launched during their forthcoming national tour in May, this may very well change.

“This is the fi rst time we’ve released this sort of album in this brave new world of digital music. But keep in mind there’s still plenty of stuff we want to do in an old-school format, like recording a full album rather than recording a song here and there. We still want to connect with people from our past, and as a band continuing on, we want to connect and bring on board people hearing us for the fi rst time as well. Chrome deals with everything from domestic violence, redemption, and raunchiness to homelessness. So many different topics are covered – hopefully we’ll be able to please our old fans and get some new ones as well.”

Gleeson rather enjoys the odd vinyl or two and recently dusted off his record player and got into a vintage collection he’s had stashed for years. I guess enthusiasts would be advised

to keep an eye out for the vinyl version of Chrome because Gleeson told me there will be a run on.

The Screaming Jets are your classic, loud rock band and in Gleeson’s words, “We are not old blokes simply going through the motions – classic rock is a genre. To me it’s two guitars, bass, great lead breaks, drums, great chorus, meaningful songs and everything from Aerosmith and AC/DC to The Angels. Supporting us is a band called Massive, comprising a bunch of guys in their 20s who embrace the true classic rock band image and sound. They don’t sound old and jaded, rather new and fresh and are totally in the mode of classic rock. That’s what we are too, and proudly so.”

The Screaming Jets are founding members Dave Gleeson and Paul Woseen with Mickl Sayers, Jimi Hocking and Scott Kingman. Their national tour kicks off on Saturday, 7th May at the Corner Hotel in Richmond. Go see them and have a blast!

Starting Thursday evening and continuing throughout the weekend, a variety of gourmet lunches, dinners and classes will take place in restaurants, cafes and even the demonstration kitchen in the “Taste” marquee hosted at the Claret & Co (previously Three Palms) courtyard at 154 Ocean Beach Road.Taste of Sorrento is proud to play host to several highly-acclaimed chefs and food writers in this year’s event, who’ll present masterclasses not to be missed.

With music and kids’

entertainment fi lling the street, it will be a great day for tasting, sipping, listening and indulging in the best that Sorrento and the Mornington Peninsula have to offer.

With many more interesting boutique activities all set in a spectacular, historic seaside village only 90 minutes south of Melbourne, or a relaxing 40 minutes by ferry across the bay from the Queenscliff, Taste of Sorrento is a great way to treat the senses and embrace all that winter has to offer.

A full event program is available at www.tasteofsorrento.com.au, or you can download the Sorrento – Live the Life app from the App Store or Google Play to make direct bookings and fi nd event locations.

Mornington Street corners, bars and restaurants will come alive over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend, June 10 – 12, as some of the biggest names in the business hit town for the fourth annual Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. The 2016 festival is set to take things to a whole new level with the introduction of a new Blues program which will be jam packed with some of Mornington Peninsula’s favourite artists!

The 2015 festival was a huge success, with more than 116 performances in and around Mornington, and this year festival organisers the Mornington Chamber of Commerce are aiming to raise the bar even further.

Multi-ARIA nominee Frank Bennett kicks things off at The Rocks on Friday, June 10. Bennett’s uncanny ability to recapture the magic of Sinatra in concert has made him one of the most popular and sought after entertainers in Australia today. Friday evening also plays host to a great blues line up at The Grand Hotel with local favourites Wilson & White, Diddy Reyes and Rob Papp’s Blues Head supporting the unmissable Soul Sacrifi ce, Melbourne’s best Santana touring band.

Off the back of an epic performance in 2015, soul singers Vika Bull and Adrew DeSilva (pictured) are set to draw a crowd to their performance ‘Let’s Get It On, The Life and Music of Marvin Gaye’ at the Grand Hotel Sunday June 12. Likewise, Vince Jones returns to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on Saturday June 11 with a new and unique show created exclusively for the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival.

There are also a heap of great free performances in and around town all weekend including a killer blues line up at Double G Saloon, Jazz-A-Thon at Leaf and Bean, a jam packed showcase of jazz at Gods Kitchen and for the latin lovers, newly opened Casa De Playa presents La Rumba who will have you dancing till the wee hours of Saturday night!

Between Friday and Sunday there are over 50 performances available for you to experience ranging from intimate Jazz dinner shows to dance fl oor take over swing and blues sessions including the ever popular Mick Pealing and band at the Bay Hotel Sunday afternoon.

For something a little more unique, Brooklands of Mornington are hosting a one of a kind Chefs Choice 5 Course Dining Experience on Friday evening accompanied by an evening of Jazz in the Eighteen78 dining room. Bookings can be made directly with the venue.

For a toe tapping good time, The Royal Hotel has created their very own ‘Jazz Club’ offering a night of swing and splendour with the Gatsby Swing performing classics of the roaring 20’s and 30’s.

Of course Saturday and Sunday will offer a wide variety of free street entertainment with roving bands parading the Main Street and children’s entertainment to keep the little ones enthralled too!

Tickets are Now On Sale! The full program and event information can be found online at www.morningtonjazz.com.au or by contacting Mornington Chamber of Commerce on 5975 4522 (Mon-Wed).

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt KARINGAL almost doubled its score in the fi nal 16 minutes of the match to draw against Seaford in Peninsula Di-vision football on Saturday.

At the 12-and-a-half minute mark of the fi nal quarter at Ballam Park, Tigers’ star Aaron Walton kicked his second goal of the afternoon and put his side 30 points in front.

At that stage, it was the biggest mar-gin of the day and a Karingal revival looked remote.

However, led by a dominating Grant Goodall in the ruck, Cal Dixon through the middle, Michael Burke in attack and Aaron Paxton and best on ground Duncan Proud in defence, the Bulls un-leashed the shackles and attacked the top of the square.

The Bulls booted 4.8 in a frantic fi nal 16 minutes before the siren sounded with the scoreboard reading 9.17 (71) to 10.11 (71).

Seaford completely stopped running at the ten minute mark of the last quar-ter. Had it not been for the experience of Dean Williamson and Kyle Mat-thews in the tense fi nal minutes, Sea-ford probably would have been overrun completely.

It was a special day for three-time Seaford premiership player Joe Hal-lal, who ran out for the 200th time after making his debut in 2000.

The day wasn’t so special for gun Karingal recruit and full forward Leigh Poholke, who left the fi eld in the open-ing term with what appeared to be an ACL injury. Scans will confi rm through the week.

Jackson Mockett was superb for the Tigers and one of their best with a game

high four goals, while Matt Herbert was outstanding in the fi rst half.

This week should see the return of Jake Kelly and Chris Hay for the Bulls.

A Shane Paterson led Langwarrin booted 12 goals to one in the second half against Edithvale-Aspendale to notch its fi rst win of the 2016 season.

With Kangas president Dave Nelli telling the RPP Footy Show on Sat-urday morning that the club had em-barked on a rebuilding strategy, the evergreen Paterson did everything he

could to ensure that his young charges got over the line, 12.13 (85) to 9.12 (66).

The Eagles led by 22 points at half time after making the most of the strong wind, however, could only manage just one more goal for the game.

Paterson took control of the team while coach Brad Dredge got married (the day was planned before he was of-fered the Langwarrin coaching job).

Kieran Albanese continued his strong start to the season with four majors for the Kangas while Blake Peach played

his best game of the season with three goals.

Angus Macguire and Lochie Brodie were the best of the Eagles, while the more experienced Tim Mannix and Jer-emy Heys worked tirelessly.

Pines blew Mornington out of the water with a seven goal to two opening quarter and were never challenged after that, winning for the fi rst time since the late 1990’s at Alexandra Park, 18.15 (123) to 12.11 (83).

A fi t and fi ring Tim Bongetti booted

seven goals for the Pythons in a devas-tating display while Paul Scanlon and Luke Potts dominated through the mid-dle of the ground.

Warwick and Joel Miller were once again the best of the Doggies while Will Goosey played his best ever game of senior footy.

Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes told the RPP Footy Show live in the studio on Saturday morning that his side had nothing to lose and everything to gain against the yardstick of the competition in Frankston YCW.

After a 23.10 (148) to 4.10 (34) whipping, it would have been hard for Hughes to take away any positives.

The Sharks are now the only side in the competition without a win and sit on the bottom of the table.

The Stonecats had nine goal kick-ers with Dave Bodley booting six and Paul Minchington, Anthony Bruhn, Lew Roberts and Sam Widdowson all kicking three each, while two of the most exciting players in the competi-tion, Ryley Hodson and Ben Credlin, dominated.

Shane McDonald, Chris Bryan and Beau Bailey were the best of the Sharks.

Mt Eliza trailed Chelsea by four points at half time on Saturday before booting eight goals to one in the third to blow the game apart.

The fi nal score was 14.8 (92) to 6.16 (52).

Nick Strickland booted four for the winners while a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard. Antho-ny Cleary was outstanding.

Josh Tripcony and Grant Trew were fi ne contributors for the Gulls, along with Jack Francis.

INTERLEAGUEBy Toe Punt TWO MPNFL squads have been se-lected for Victorian Football Champi-onships later this month.

The main squad will tackle Northern Football League on Saturday, May 21 at Rye’s RJ Rowley Reserve, while a Young Guns squad will play Yarra Ranges, previously named the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football Net-ball League.

Peninsula region AFL South East League Manager Shaun Connell said this will be a fantastic opportunity for many people in our region to represent the MPFNL.

“Whilst in regular season games there are two different leagues it now feels that the Mornington Peninsula community is represented as one,” Connell said.

The coaches selected to lead the MPNFL representative sides are as fol-lows:

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt HASTINGS remains unbeaten and on top of the Nepean Division ladder after a fi ghting victory against Devon Meadows on Satur-day.

The Blues let a large lead slip in the third quarter and the opposition drew level at one stage, before the Blues settled with a couple of goals and went on to win 17.12 (114) to 14.11 (95).

The enigmatic Colin McVeigh had a quiet start to the afternoon but a masterstroke from runner Peter Mereszko saw the Blues star shifted to full forward in the third. The result was two third and two fi nal quarter goals to McVeigh.

The move also involved Luke Hewitt go-ing higher up the ground. He took a number of telling marks when it mattered across half back to help seal the win.

Young Ben King was a solid contributor in the ruck for the Blues in the absence of Josh Mulheron, who will be missing for up to eight weeks with a fractured cheekbone.

The Blues also went into the match with-out star forward Luke Clark, who hurt his AC-joint (shoulder) in the clash against Frankston Bombers on ANZAC Day.

Shaun Foster is a gem and he was at his fi nest on Saturday with three goals, while Nick Gray and Pete Mawson won plenty of the footy through the middle of the ground. Paul Rogasch booted four goals playing as a key forward.

Devon Meadows is making steady pro-gress in 2016. After being almost eight goals down at half time, the old Devon Meadows would have thrown in the towel.

However, the Panthers booted eight goals in the third term and drew level. They also went toe-to-toe with the Blues in the fi nal quarter.

Patrick Harmes is a star of the competition and is incredibly underrated, while Jack Ha-zendonk and Jayden Sullivan were tireless.

Where to for Crib Point?The Magpies recruited extremely well in

the pre-season and there was enormous op-timism for the year ahead.

Four rounds later, the club is on its knees after a humiliating 98 point loss to Sorrento.

This time last year, with an inferior list to what ran out on the weekend, the Magpies overran the Sharks in a massive upset.

The Magpies play like individuals, and on Saturday, the cracks began to open wider.

Arguing on the fi eld and between leaders saw the Pies boot just one goal in the open-ing half.

The Pies managed to boot six last quarter goals to add some respectability.

Crib Point coach Taylor Stratton was named in the best players but from all reports was “hardly sighted”.

Paul Smith was the standout with three goals while James Cook rarely doesn’t give his all.

Take no credit away from the Sharks though – their stars were at their best.

Nick Corp booted fi ve majors and Scott Lockwood four while Luke Tapscott and Tyr-ren Head dominated.

It would be very interesting to be a fl y on the wall at Crib Point over the next couple of weeks.

What a match it will be this weekend when the Pies play Tyabb.
