LINTON News June 2019

Two great resources at the Linton Recreation Reserve were

officially opened on the 1st of June—the $255,000 lighting

project and the opening of

the female friendly change

rooms at the Netball

Courts.

Starting with the official opening of female friendly change rooms at the L i n t o n R e c r e a t i o n Reserve, held prior to the C a r n g h a m L i n t o n Football Netball Club home game.

Haddon House, formerly a portable office at Counc i l ’ s Customer Serv ice Cent re in B a n n o c k b u r n , w a s relocated to the Reserve and Council funded the redevelopment project to transform the building into change rooms for the Carngham Linton Football Netball Club.

This was followed by the official opening of the new oval lighting at the Linton Recreation Reserve at 4:45pm. The four

new towers will light up the oval at Linton Recreation Reserve to AFL local football standard. The $255,000 lighting project was funded by a grant from Sport and Recreation Victoria.

LDPA President’s Report

As the new President of the LDPA I wanted to provide a

short update about what the association has been doing

over the last year, plans for 2019/20 and extend some

thanks.

2018/2019 was a big year for LDPA with two very

successful events taking place in Linton & district. Lola was

held in October 2018, closely followed by Mecha,

organised by Cake Industries, in January 2019. Both these

events bought people to the town and the area and were

well received by all who attended.

The LDPA have also been further developing their

relationship with the Golden Plains Shire with various

meetings and visits with the CEO Eric Brasilis and other key

council staff members. Permission has been granted to

develop a new garden at Edinburgh Reserve and further

discussions about other key projects in the area.

Community Coordinators was incorporated into LDPA and

working groups formed within the association to help

focus efforts on key areas such as Arts & Culture that has

been lead by Warren.

The newsletter has continued to play it’s part as a key

communication tool within the community.

We have also provided support to develop new groups

including the Ukulele Group. Once again we took part in

Clean Up Australia Day with numbers increasing from last

year. Other activities supported included Christmas at the

pub organised by Warren and supported by Krys and

Dave., and raising funds for the LDPA by providing a scrap

metal collection point.

Thank you to those leaving the committee for their hard

work—Warren Bowen, Darryl Lees, and Teresa Holmes.

Thanks as well to all of the community groups for their

hard work including CFA, LDHS, LDMS, Linton Bowls Club,

Linton Play Reading Group and members of the

community. There are so many people to thank :)

Special mention to our Treasurer Pam Southerington for

maintaining the financials of the association, the acquittals

of community plan projects, as well as Lola and Mecha – a

huge job for one person. An outstanding job done with a

smile on her face and keeping the rest of us on track.

There is still a long list of “to-do’s” including finalizing the

current community plan, development of the next plan,

working with the council to continue to improve the

streetscape and much more. So if you have some spare

time and want to help please let us know.—Kylie

Linton and District Historical Society Inc. Report for June 2019

Check us out on Facebook— https://www.facebook.com/lintonhistory

A lot more information about things historical in Linton can be found on our website

www.lintonhistory.org.au

The day to day work of the Society continues unabated. We have a dedicated working group that meets on Mondays and/or Tuesdays to do cataloguing (amongst other things). This includes documenting information on old audiotapes and putting this into the catalogue, photographing objects in our collection and putting these into the catalogue, and going through our numerous family files and checking that the photos in them are in the catalogue.

We are always looking for helpers, and never fear, there are other jobs apart from cataloguing! If you are free on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon, and would like to be part of our local history working group, please email us: [email protected] We would LOVE to hear from you!

Mystery Sussex St building identified

Sussex Street looking south, date unknown, but probably c.1900

We published this photo from our archives in the March Linton News asking if anyone could identify the very large building on the right, apparently on the corner of Clyde and Sussex Streets, with a buggy drawn by two horses parked nearby. As a result of responses we received, we are now fairly sure that the building was Dr Donaldson's barn when he lived on the north-west corner of Sussex and Grant Streets. Evidently his house was set back further up this block from the barn.

Dr J. B. Donaldson Snr was the much-admired General Practitioner in Linton from 1889 to 1920. The barn would have housed, amongst other things, the horse and buggy he used to do his patient rounds (that is probably it out the front of the property in the photograph). Later in his life he evidently lived in a house in Grant St, on the northern side, just up from the corner. We imagine his surgery was where his house was, in each case.

Mid-Winter break

The Society takes a mid-Winter break in July and August. The next meeting of the Society will be the Annual General Meeting on Monday 16 September at 7.30pm.

Next Open Day

Our next Open Day will be on Sunday 9 June, 2-5pm at the Letty Armstrong Resource Centre in Sussex Street. There will be no Open Days in July and August due to our Winter break. They will resume on Sunday 8 September.

From the Past From The Grenville Standard, Saturday 22 May 1915

The break-up of the drought has been the theme of general congratulation during the past week. Beginning on the 14th inst. with light showers, the rainfall increased during the next few days, and though there were signs of clearing on Monday night and again on Tuesday, heavy showers still fell. It seemed as though efforts were being made to reach the two-inch mark in Linton. Counting from the 3rd inst., Mr J. J. Jennings’ gauge makes it 209 points up to yesterday morning. Good reports have come in from all parts of the district. At Skipton a number of farmers who held off for rain are now working overtime to get their seed in.

EPA’s online help for farmers Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) offers online advice for the agricultural community, and is taking requests on what farmers need next.

The Agricultural Guidance section of EPA’s web-site supports farmers in managing the farm in a way that minimises harm to the environment and human health, meets Victorian regulations, and keeping the property in good condition for the next generation.

It also includes a two-minute survey that lets farm-ers ask for the environmental advice they most val-ue.

EPA’s advice for agricultural community is at: www.epa.vic.gov.au/business-and-industry/guidelines/agricultural-guidance

It offers advice on protecting the environment and human health; meeting Victorian law and regula-tions; and issues like livestock planning, farm waste, chemicals, noise, water, sediment and dust.

Anyone on the land can make a request or provide feedback, at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/EPAwebpagereview

Members of the public can report pollution by call-ing EPA’s 24 hour hotline, 1300 EPA VIC (1300 372 842).

You may be diverted to the Bacchus Marsh Police Station where you will be able to talk to an-other police member or in an

EMERGENCY Dial 000

I can be emailed on the following - [email protected].

This is probably the most reliable form to get me as I will get it.

If you have another type of crisis Life Line, Beyond Blue or your local GP can assist you.

CRIME

Fortunately, we have not had many crimes reported in

the area. I will however touch on a couple of incidents

that have led to offenders that have been processed

for crimes.

Two males have been interviewed and charged with

the thefts of quad bikes in the area between Cressy

and Hamilton. This highlights the fact that nothing is

out of bounds for the crooks. Please be conscious of

where you leave your property. Remove keys from

vehicles and have all VIN Numbers recorded some-

where. This will make the tracking down of the prop-

erty or its owners a lot easier. Don’t be an easy target.

The crooks don’t care, they will take it.

I intercepted a male on a motorbike that is suspected

of being stolen. He had no right to take the motor-

bike from where he says he located it. If it is not

yours, don’t touch it. I still think his story was a bit of

a furphy. Never mind, he can tell the magistrate his

story of woes.

TRAFFIC

Wow, do I sound like a broken record. The non-

survivable accidents are continuing to occur around us

at the moment. A double at Carranballac where it ap-

pears a driver has failed to give way at a give way sign.

Please obey all signs. The other double at Cressy ap-

pears to have occurred where a car has crossed to the

wrong side of the road. This has left a small child

without a mother. Very sad.

Recently, I have noticed a lot of passengers putting

themselves at risk by putting their feet on the dash-

board to give their feet some warmth. Well that is the

only reason I can think of for sitting with your feet on

the dash of the car. What if the airbag goes off??

(See picture) Yep you will be injured.

I am not sure you would know this….for all speeding

offences less than 25 kilometres over the speed limit

you do not lose your licence immediately. For all

speeding offences over 25 kilometres above the speed

limit, you will be walking for at least 3 months.

SLOW DOWN

COMMUNITY

I am not sure whether you know about the Australia’s

Biggest Morning Tea. The official date is the 23rd of

May but we are able to have any date in May and June.

So, the date of Wednesday June the 5th has been

locked in for the Linton Edition of the Biggest Morn-

ing Tea at the LINTON BOWLING

CLUB commencing at 10.00 am.

Any monetary Donations can be dropped into the

Linton Police Station prior to the day if you are unable

to attend. All donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.

Merchandise is available on inspection at the police

station. Everyone knows someone who has been tak-

en as a result of cancer. In our town in recent weeks

there have been local families left devastated with the

loss of loved ones as a consequence of Cancer. Every

dollar helps.

Firearms Applications are to be done ONLINE.

There are No forms available at the police station.


The pantry continues to assist families needing a little help.

Thank you for those who donate regularly but might I ask if you would consider sugar, coffee and long life milk this week. These are popular items and they quickly get used.

Currently we are in need of items such as margarine and cheese.

Thank you, Bennita and Warren not forgetting the staff at the Wares, Plants ‘n’ Things Cafe.

Over the last few

months I have been

in and around

hospitals far more

often than I would

have liked. One of

the things that

happens in those

situations is how

people end up

talking to strangers. It does not take long to find

common ground. One discovery from those chance

encounters was a document from the Office of the

Public Advocate. It is called Take Control and

describes itself as being a self-help guide in dealing

with what are often called end of life issues (though

they equally apply all through life). Their three key

areas are:

Having a medical treatment decision maker: This had

not really occurred to me as I did not consider myself

to be “near death”. I was only in my mid-sixties so why

bother? Then I found doctors and nurses asking me

about possible medical treatments for my wife who

was not really able to make those decisions. They

wanted to know what her thoughts were on all kinds of

procedures and ways of dealing with what was going

on. If I was honest, I would have had to say I was only

guessing as we had not discussed those things in any

detail. Had we gone through the Take Control booklet,

we would have understood the value of having

someone with legal authority to make some of those

choices should I be unable to make them myself. I

would like to let my family know what kinds of

procedures I did or did not want to undergo, and in

what situations they could be made. I wanted those

done on my terms and not on what they think based

on their own feelings at the time. Appointing an

authorized medical treatment decision maker avoids

this.

Advanced care directives: This too is of fundamental

importance as we ponder the way we want our

illnesses to be managed, particularly in the final stages

of our lives. Take Control leads us through the areas

we might like to consider, issues we would like our

medical treatment decision maker to keep in mind

when they decide things for us. These matters are

great to toss around with our loved ones and as we

have discovered ourselves, they do sometimes throw

up ideas we had not considered. Our presumptions

can so easily be wrong. They challenge us to share

about the things that matter most in our lives – family,

friends, the ability to communicate, spirituality,

personal independence and the like. A particularly vital

question is put brutally: do you want to live as long as

possible, whatever it takes? Or, is the quality of your

life more important – to you but not necessarily for

your family? Is it important to remain independent

and living in your own home? What about matters of

personal grooming, mobility, toileting, the ability to

make decisions and maintain contact with friends and

family? What are some of the unacceptable outcomes

of treatment we might not want to endure? Unless we

talk about these while we are alert and able to have an

input, decisions might be made that are contrary to our

preferred priorities.

An enduring power of attorney: There may be a time

when we may not be able to make decisions on

matters of personal and financial importance. Without

having appointed someone with the legal authority to

make these decisions for us, our lives and actions can

run into all kinds of problems – in matters of finance,

property, paying bills, dealing with a business, real

estate, where you live and with whom you live. Not

having such an appointee can leave our families in a

quagmire of red tape and conflict.

Men’s Shed Health: In keeping with our focus on

promoting Men’s Health, we are encouraging

community members – young and old, the fit and the

not so well – to consider picking up a copy of the Take

Control booklet and like the scouts of old Be Prepared.

The process of completing it is of great value and the

outcome will bring peace of mind to the whole of one’s

family. We will have copies available at our local Shed

but more can be obtained from the Court House and

from Community Legal Services.

MAYOR MESSAGE – JUNE 2019

After a busy campaign, the Federal Election is over and the Coalition has been re-elected to lead the Federal Government. As a fast growing regional municipality, Council is always seeking more government investment to deliver projects and program for our local people. During the Federal Election campaign, we were enthusiastic in lobbying both major parties, seeking strong bi-partisan commitments in our Shire. With more than $4.6 million committed to the voters of Golden Plains by the Coalition, Council will be working with the Federal Government to support the timely delivery of these four valuable projects:

• $3.2 million to build a new roundabout at the entrance to Bannockburn

• $832,000 for female friendly change rooms for members of the Golden Plains Soccer Club at the Bannockburn Soccer Facility;

• $500,000 to upgrade the club rooms at the Inverleigh Sporting Complex; and $100,000 for lighting at the Lethbridge Recreation Reserve; and All these commitments were made in the marginal electorate of Corangamite and many of our townships did not receive election commitments, however the good

news is that every dollar assigned to deliver key infrastructure saves Council money, and those funds can be redirected to deliver more projects across the Shire. We look forward to working closely with the federal members of parliament representing our electorates to make sure the people of Golden Plains remain front and centre in their minds and their decisions when they’re in parliament in Canberra. Mayor Cr Owen Sharkey

LOCAL LAW No. 1

At its Ordinary Meeting on 23 April 2019, Council adopted its Local Law No. 1 – Council Meeting Procedures & Common Law; and the Council Policy 4.4 - Public Participation in Council Meetings (Question Time, Presentations & Submissions, Petitions & Joint Letters).

Both the new law and policy came into effect on Monday 13 May. Key features of Local Law 1:

New Public Question Time: Any person can ask Council a maximum of two questions of Council during a 30-minute Question Time at Ordinary Council Meetings. All questions must be lodged by 10am on the day of the meeting by email, Council’s website or hand delivered to Council offices.

Change to Public Presentations and Submissions: Any person may lodge a written submission, and may also request to speak at the relevant Ordinary Meeting of Council, in favour of or against: - A planning matter (for example, a planning permit application) where the person has previously made an objection in accordance with The Planning and Environment Act 1987

- A matter where Council called for submissions under section 223 of the Local Government Act 1989 (e.g. the Council Budget) and the presenter has previously made a formal submission.

Under the new policy, time will not be allocated for public presentations on any other agenda items. However, Council will now receive written submissions on those matters and those submissions will be forwarded to Councillors prior to the meeting.

For more information on the new Local Law No. 1, including how to lodge a question or register to make a public presentation, visit: goldenplains.vic.gov.au/local-laws

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH COUNTRY HAM INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups dried split peas, rinsed and picked over

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 cup chopped carrots

• 1 cup chopped yellow onion

• 1 cup chopped leeks

• 1/4 cup chopped celery

• 2 to 3 quarts chicken broth

• 1 country ham bone

• 1 cup chopped cooked country ham

METHOD

1. Place the peas in a medium mixing bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight. Drain, rinse and set aside.

2. In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, onion, leeks and celery and sauté until soft and just beginning to brown, around 8 to 10 minutes. Add 2 quarts of the chicken broth and

the ham bone; bring to a boil, partially cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the peas, uncover and continue cooking at a low simmer for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the peas are tender. (The longer you cook it, the creamier the consistency of the soup.) Remove the ham bone and stir in the chopped country ham. Thin with additional chicken broth as needed. Serve hot.

JUNE 2019


It has been a very exciting time for the Carngham Linton community in recent weeks, with the completion of the lighting upgrade to the Linton Recreation Reserve.

On Wednesday May 15th, the lights were switched on for the very first time and both the footballers and netballers trained under the new lights the following night.

The football oval lighting provided by four big towers can run at a 150-lux capacity, which will provide outstanding lighting for full night-time matches. The lights run at a reduced 50-lux capacity for training purposes, which still provides excellent coverage of the entire oval.

The new football ground lights combined with the re-direction of the old lights also makes for very good lighting of the upgraded netball court. The lighting upgrade is a great result for not just the Carngham Linton FNC, but the local community as a whole.

We thank all involved with the successful implementation of the project. A full report on the official launch of the lighting upgrade and netball facility re-development held on June 1st will feature in the next newsletter.

In Round 6 played against Clunes at Linton on May 11th, there was some really good contests both on field and court. On the football front, the reserves were the stand out, with a storming second half seeing them record a great win and keep

the visitors scoreless after leading at half time. The senior game was an arm wrestle, with the Magpies finishing a bit stronger to record a 13-point win. The 18’s kept on their winning way to remain undefeated, while the visitors were too strong in the u/12 & u/15 games.

The netballing spoils were fairly evenly shared, with great wins in the A Grade, to give our best start to a season in a number of years as well as the u/13 (still undefeated) & U/15 divisions, while the C Graders lead for most of their game before being overhauled late in the match.

The Central Highlands League participated in the Inter-league

matches on Saturday May 18th. We congratulate those who represented the club at Learmonth against the North Central League. Logan Hayles, Josh Foley & Dean O’Brien were all selected in the U/18 game and all acquitted themselves very well. There are other representative competitions scheduled in the near future that we have club players selected and / or trialling out for. On the netballing side, we acknowledge the great achievements of Maddie Lewis (U/13) & Danica Wright (U/15) who have been selected in the upcoming CHFNL representative teams. There is also U/13 & U/15 junior football trials about to commence and we have a number of boys trying out for selection in those divisions. Good luck to all involved.

GO SAINTS!!!
