The Lilydale Progressive - December 2011

typist, research assistant, occasional editor

etc, Carol Charlton to Bridport of all places.

July the new Upper Piper Arts Crafts

Co-operative was formed, and the Country

Women‘s Association - Lilydale Branch

hosted the Northern Forum at the

Community Learning Room at the school.

August the Senior Citizens hosted another

very successful Indoor Bowls Carnival at the

Memorial Hall and Census was once again

taken of all residents in Australia,

September saw the Pony Club hold their

Presentation Night, and Launceston City

Council resumed work on Bacala Road.

October was a huge month when the

entire town celebrated Lilydale‘s 150th

Birthday, there were a plethora of activities

for all to enjoy right around the district

including, the grand opening ceremony, the

‗Then & Now‘ exhibition, the Spring Show,

‗Sing along Sound of Music‘, Harold‘s Garden

Party and Bush dance at the Memorial Hall,

it was certainly a busy couple of weeks and

lovely to see so many people out and about.

November saw the Seniors hold yet

another Indoor Bowls Carnival and the

Rhododendron Gardens (now privately

owned) were reopened to the public.

On a more personal note, it‘s been a big

year for me as well, my older brother Peter

passed away in March (thankfully I was able

to be with him when this happened), I

camped out and cooked for 20 people over

Easter, visited a friend in Victoria for her

50th Birthday, (3 visits to Victoria in 3

months is just a bit too many), started on a

health kick to lose weight in September (go

me, I‘ve lost nearly 12 kilos so far) and had

to have my beautiful Cocker Spaniel Bella

put to sleep a couple of weeks ago. A year of highs and lows, but that‘s just the way life

is at times. And of course I‘ve edited 11

issues of the Progressive.

So on to next year, who knows what will

happen as the old saying goes ‗Yesterday is

History, Tomorrow a Mystery, Today is a gift,

that’s why we call it the Present.’ So let‘s all

make the most of our Presents and enjoy

each day as it comes. I wish you all a Very

Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New

Year and look forward to catching up with

you all next year. JAYNE

Editorial

Well we‘ve certainly got a bumper issue for

you this month; in fact I think it‘s the largest

issue I‘ve put together in my whole 11 years

as editor.

Thanks to our stalwart regulars who

entertain us every month with news and

views from their group. We hope you‘ve had

a successful and fulfilling year serving our

local community.

To all our advertisers, I‘ve said it before and

I‘ll say it again, without you all there would

be NO Progressive. Thanks for your support

this year and we hope to see you advertising

with us again next year.

A big thank you to Carol Charlton and

Coralee Freeman for their help with the

Progressive this year.

It‘s been an interesting year for Lilydale with

lots happening around the District.

February saw the Football Club move from

NEFU to NTFA, the Village Market holding a

Mini Fringe Circus Festival, Fred the goat go

missing, and on a very sad note, a well loved

and valuable community member, Tiger

Pollard passed away.

March was alive with Teddy Bears at

Hollybank Forest, and Seniors holding an

Indoor Bowls Carnival in the Memorial Hall,

oh yes, and Fred the goat came home!

April weighed in with a new dressage arena

for the Pony Club, a completely new Junior

Football Club emerged and we once again

honoured those who gave their lives for

Australia on ANZAC Day, and of course we

saw the Targa cars come through town once

again.

May was a musical month with Tasmanian

Regional Arts - Lilydale playing host to the

Elanee Ensemble in the new Performing Arts

Centre at the school. Another long term community member, Leila Robertson passed

away, and the new Lilydale Bowls Club

rooms were open for business.

June of course is Lantern Walk month, what

a picture the twinkling lights made at the

Lilydale Falls reserve, the Pony Club & Adult

Riders Club attended a Navigation Ride in

Pattersonia, and I lost my long time sidekick,

Here are the lyrics:

Over Bardenhagen‟s Door

Lyrics and melody © Rob Andrew (19/10/2011)

With bottles of tea, cross-cut saw and stringy bark handled axe

We laid those mountain giants flat

and hauled them down the tracks

With horse and bell-wheel, shackle and chain,

we worked the mountain bare But when the rain came down in ‘29

we wished those tress were there.

Three days long without a stop

The rain came pelting down

It rolled like water off the Mountain‘s back and flooded Lilydale town.

It snuffed the coals in Snowy‘s furnace,

Topped Bardenhagen‘s doors;

We didn‘t know, us bush-block fellers It was goin‘ to pour and pour (and pour…and pour

etc).

It rose and rose up over the door

Of Bardenhagen’s store

How did we know in ‘29 It was going to pour and pour?

If you see wood and not the trees

Remember our big flood

When Mrs Whiting had to pull her cows From out of tons of mud.

The Mountain looks in pristine shape

Its peak all shining there;

Just climb its slopes and don‘t forget

If you cut it down, beware. It rose and rose up over the door

Of Bardenhagen’s store

How did we know in ‘29

It was going to pour and pour?

The LDPA will be meeting December 6th 7:30pm Old

Court House.

Secretary - John Gallagher

"Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains

from giving wordy evidence of the fact."

Neighbourhood Watch

12 people attended our November meeting

including our Guest Speaker.

Our guest speaker was Constable Annabel Shegog,

Northern Community Policing Services.

Annabel spoke about the effect that the State Budget is

having on Community Policing and the Police Force in

general. Annabel also spoke in length about the fact

that people in areas of low crime were becoming

complacent and starting to leave cars and property unlocked. Cars are being broken into and loose change

and IPods, etc., are being stolen. People are once again

urged to lock up all property and not to leave any

valuables, visible in vehicles, whether or not the vehicle is locked or not. Leading up to Christmas it appears

that there is an increase in the number of people trying

to sell things door to door. The majority of these

people are honest but there is the potential for

property burglary and residents are being urged to be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour to police.

Everybody associated with the Lilydale Neighbourhood

Watch, would like to thank Annabel for making the

time to come and speak at our meeting. We hope that the whole community will heed the advice given by

Annabel and lock up property.

Police Report

On the 15/10/2011, offenders have entered a business

on Second River Road and four Chainsaws and a Compact Welder have been stolen. Launceston CIB is

investigating.

Anybody who can assist the Police with enquiries on

the above incident are urged to contact Crime

Stoppers on 1800 333 000

More Important Information.

Design out property crime

As a member of the community, there are steps you

can take to protect yourself and your property from crime. People that take all necessary precautions are

less likely to be targeted by thieves. Use the following

information to reduce the likelihood of your property

being targeted.

Whilst the majority of people are conscious of locking up their homes, a recent analysis of burglaries in the

Northern District has shown that some people are still

not securing their garages, sheds, workshops and

building sites adequately.

Recently thieves have been specifically targeting these

areas. Common items stolen are tools and chainsaws.

These items should not be left in the front or back yard

or on display for any length of time. Many people are

complacent when it comes to securing these areas.

Sheds, garages and workshops should be locked at all times when not in use.

Tradesmen should avoid leaving their power tools and

equipment onsite when they knock off. Owners and

builders should also avoid leaving keys in obvious places, such as the meter box, for other tradesmen to

collect.

Stolen items of property are usually sold at a very

cheap price. If the price of your new chainsaw or

power tool is too good, then the chances are it is stolen. If you suspect this is the case, contact

Launceston CIB for advice on 131 444. Did you know,

that if you purchase items you suspect or know are

stolen, then you may well be committing a crime yourself?

Next Meeting

The next meeting of the Lilydale Neighbourhood

Watch will be held at the Fire Station on the 08th of

December commencing at 6.30 pm, this earlier starting time will be for December only and will be followed by

our Christmas Function.

The Committee and members of the Lilydale

Neighbourhood Watch, wish everybody in the

community a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Country Women's

Association - Lilydale

As usual we had our monthly meeting on the first

Wednesday of November in the Old Court Room.

We are nearing the final one for the year so we are off

to have a Christmas gathering for lunch at the Basin

Café, in a setting of beauty and natural wonderment! We hope to see all our members make it and the roll

call is to bring some thoughts for us to share, in the

form of three things we are grateful for or tell of

something nice that happened. ―Happiness‖ research-ers say that the main ingredient to finding and being a

happy person is to appreciate and be grateful for all the

wonderful and good things we have in our life. ―An

Attitude of Gratitude‖ could go a long way for all of

us!

We were involved with the Spring Show held as part of

Lilydale 150th Celebrations. CWA members provided

the qualified judges for the cooking section plus the

stewards for this section. The results of the cooking are included in the Progressive and all entrants and

achievers are congratulated. We were very pleased to

see the cooking section being supported but would

have liked even more people to have a go and enter

cooking, but trust that if held again many more will be having a go at the cooking.

Harold's Garden Party and Hike a

Great Success

The roll-out of Life Education programs in northeast schools in 2012 has been guaranteed, following the

successful fundraising activities driven by Sally Wilson.

The two functions: Harold's garden Party, held at Sally's

magnificent gardens on 29 October and the 240 Km

Harold's Hike from Lilydale to Bicheno, completed on 18 November raised $10,154.50. The Chairman of Life

Education Tasmania, Stuart Bryce, said that almost all of

the monies raised came from the local community,

which indicated the high degree of support for Life Education programs.

Significant contributors were IGA and Budget Rent A

Car. People wanting more information can visit the

website: www.lifeeducation.org.au/tasmania or donate

to Harold's Hike at www.gofundraise.com.au/page/BryceS.

Sally Wilson with "Velvet" at Weldborough

CWA members also assisted with the stewardship of

the beautiful floral entries; thank you to all who

worked hard to have their gardens producing such

beautiful blooms and to put their arrangements together.

The Handcraft and Home Industries Group of

Northern Tas. meet each month in Launceston, and

our Lilydale member Dorothy received a First for her truffles in October. For November the challenge is to

make a homemade Xmas Card, Four Shortbread and

bring a stem of Flowers.

CWA members wish you all a joyous and bountiful

Christmas time, we hope for safety on the roads and peace and civility within the wider community.

Operation Bounce Back

The Operation Bounce Back Program is running from

22 September to 22 December 2011, providing

information on how to keep your car secure and the

chance to redeem an immobiliser voucher. This offer requires you to redeem your immobiliser voucher and

book your car in with one of the local installers

supporting Operation Bounce Back before 22

December 2011. So, apply promptly or you may miss

out!

Contact Launceston City Council on 6323 3001 or

check Operation Bounce Back:

www.launceston.tas.gov.au

Why immobilise?

In 2010, a total of 177 motor vehicle thefts were recorded in the city of Launceston. This figure includes

cars, motorcycles and heavy/other vehicles. Of the cars

stolen, 82 per cent were manufactured prior to 2000.

What may be surprising is that it is older vehicles, not new ones that are most commonly targeted. This is

because older vehicles lack adequate security, making

them easy targets. Around three-quarters of vehicles

stolen in Australia are taken by opportunistic thieves

who steal for short term uses such as transport, to commit other crimes or simply for kicks.

Research indicates that an electronic engine

immobiliser is the best form of vehicle security available

to deter these opportunistic thieves. Other simple measures advertised as part of the Bounce Back

campaign will ensure you never become the victim of

car theft.

The models most frequently targeted by thieves in

Launceston, Tasmania are: Subaru Liberty, Nissan Pulsar N15, Nissan Pulsar N14, Nissan Skyline, Nissan

Pintara U12, Subaru Impreza, Nissan Navara D21, Hol-

den Commodore VL, Nissan Pulsar N13, Nissan Pulsar

N13, Holden Commodore VN, Toyota Corolla AE82.

How will the immobiliser vouchers be distributed?

The Launceston City Council will assess eligibility of

participants based on the information provided in

the Operation Bounce Back Application Form. The Application Form can also be obtained from the

Council's Customer Service Centre at Town Hall, St

John Street or call 03 6323 3000.

Karoola Volunteer Fire Brigade

Would ask all resident and property owners to please

clean up around their properties and land as the fire

season is all but upon us and for us to say no to a burn

off permit may offend so if property owners act now it will make their lives and lives of others safe along with

their homes and land safe for all of us in our area this

up and coming fire season.

If anyone has any queries please contact one of our

permit officers for advice and remember to report your ―Burn Off‖ to the TFS on free call on 1800

000 699 as it helps us keep track of what is burning in

our area and we don‘t turn up to put out your fire

saving a lot of embarrassment for all concerned.

REMEMBER IT IS BETTER TO ASK THAN TO BE SORRY.

Have a safe enjoyable Christmas along with a happy

new year from Karoola Volunteer Fire Brigade.

Summer gets a new sound

Sound‖ is a catchy five second music jingle designed to be played at regular intervals on loud speakers at

beaches, pools, sports grounds and outdoor events.

Sun Sound was initially launched in New South Wales

internationally recognised for creative innovation at

award ceremonies in New York, France, London and

reminding people to be sun-smart.

―Surveys of Sun Sound have shown that 85% of those exposed to the jingle understood the message and 61%

took positive action to protect their skin when hearing

the sound,‖ Mr Barnsley said.

Mr Barnsley said that two in three Australians will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and sun exposure

during youth is a major contributor.

―Most young people are aware they should protect

their skin from the sun, however research shows they

often forget. Sun Sound is a friendly sun-smart reminder when it‘s most needed,‖ Mr Barnsley said.

Mr Barnsley encouraged people to slip on sun

protective clothing, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a

hat, seek shade and slide on sunglasses when they heard the sound.

If you would like to have the Sun Sound played at your

event contact Caroline Liebeknecht at Cancer Council

Tasmania on 6233 2030.

Launceston City Council Updates

The Launceston City Council's work along Bacala Road

will cease within the next few weeks.

The final stages for this year (the road widening

between the Paling Track and Golconda Road, around

No. 132) is currently in progress. As well as the

widening, we are hoping to improve the water control across the road and are upgrading stormwater pipes at

various stages along the road. We will then spray a

dust suppressant outside each house. Please be aware

this is only a temporary solution until we seal the road

next year, as our plans are to continue the upgrade over the next two financial years.

A big thank you to local residents and everyone who

may have been delayed, disrupted or occasionally had

to use an alternate route instead of their normal quick

trip through Bacala Road. Your support and appreciation of the work we've been doing is greatly

appreciated and we wish you all a very happy

Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

Great News! Great News! Great News!

Mural Painted Poles we can start now !!

Yes we can start soon on painting the Poles in the main

street of Lilydale.

We were successful with our application for a grant

and thankful for receiving the full amount requested from the Tasmania Community Fund.

Together with the Launceston City Council Grant we

are on the way and preparing for a start in 2012.

As this is a COMMUNITY PROJECT we invite you to

come and help. You do not have to be an artist in fact

if you can hold a brush you can help with the paintings.

Even if you only have one hour to spare…do come and meet other people and get involved.

Now, you gentlemen, we need you as well . Lots of

preparations to be done before the poles are ready

for painting, like filling cracks in the poles, undercoat etc. get involved!!

You always had this desire……..well here is your

chance to leave your mark.

Lilydale Lions Club News

This month we had a visit from the

Tasmanian District Governor, Lion Toby

Crawford and his partner Lion Julie. They have 4

children, all of whom are Leos (Lions youth club) and they are looking to have there grandson enrolled as a

Lion cub. Truly a family that embrace the Lions Motto

of ―We Serve‖. Toby has a long history with Lions

and his emphasis is squarely on the youth of our

community.

The District Governor also took the opportunity to

induct two new members to our club. Welcome to

Peter Lynam and Natalie Rudov. Lions Peter and

Natalie are new to the district and, like many members,

have decided to be part of the community rather than just living in it. Say hello to them at the markets –

some have already been wooed by Natalie‘s sales pitch

for our Christmas cakes. They have taken the pledge

to adopt the Lions motto – ―We Serve‖.

Tom Pearce: Whilst on the subject of youth, the club

was please and surprised to receive a letter from 10

year old Tom Pearce, asking for our support with his

petition to Launceston City Council asking for a skate

park to be built in town. The members were happy to lend our support to Tom and we wish him well in his

endeavours.

Senior Citizens Bus trip: On Sunday 13 November,

37 intrepid, senior members of the Lilydale community, accompanied by 9 not-so-intrepid Lions Club members

boarded David Browns big, blue bus to visit Port Sorell.

The weather was fine and the company was better.

The journey took us via Mt Direction, the Batman

Bridge and Exeter, where a small stop was made. The green countryside was a highlight of the journey for

those looking out the window. The bad girls at the

back of the bus were making their usual racket; you

know who you are!

The trip continued through the back blocks of Frankford, over the Franklin Rivulet and into Port

Sorell. For many of the Lions club members this was a

first visit to this lovely seaside town. David did a great

job of guiding the bus along the narrow esplanade to the picturesque park at the entrance to the Panatana

Rivulet; this despite the heckling of Bill (otherwise

known as Hyacinth Bucket).

As if unaware of the treacherous mountainside that

lead from the bus to the park, our hardy souls skipped, carefree, downhill to the feast that awaited them.

Once there, they were greeted by platters of

sandwiches which had to be consumed before the real

target was reached – the cake! Once reached the cake disappeared as if a flock of seagulls had fallen on a small

serve of hot chips!

The raffle followed with numerous planned prizes

added to by Bill volunteering to mow a lucky persons

lawn – Bill doesn‘t realise the winner owns a 5 acre block and a push mower! The decision was made to

end our park visit just as the weather turned decidedly

wet. Which was a shame really, as some of the ladies

were about to go for a skinny dip in the paddling pool!

The return journey was a pleasant afternoon drive. Unfortunately we discovered that two of our female

Lions members have drinking problems; Helen and

Natalie were unable to drink out of a bottle, spilling

their drinks on themselves and the bus. Sorry David, we will send them around to clean the bus out.

All in all a great day was had by all. In all seriousness, it

was a very pleasant day with many friendships renewed

and some new ones made. There were three spare

seats on the bus so if you want to add your name to the list for next year, let one of the Lions members

know (or see us at the markets).

Lions International Tree Planting Project: In July

2011, the President of Lions International outlined his aim for his presidential year – for Lions Clubs to plant a

million trees. Two months later that aim was

surpassed. To date Lions clubs have planted over 5.5

million trees worldwide.

The Lions Club of Lilydale would like to add to that number. Now some might say that in Lilydale one

thing we have a lot of is trees, and that can‘t be a bad

thing, but we can always have more.

If you know of an area that needs some trees, please

let us know so that we can look at adding to the good work of Lions worldwide.

Lions Christmas Cakes: You might have noticed

that it‘s getting close to Christmas. Lions Cakes are

on sale around town, or from the Lions stall at the Markets. At $10 for a 1kg cake and $14 for a 1.5kg

cake they are good value, and taste delicious. They

also have a 3 year ―use by‖ date so you can keep them

for those cold winter nights. For various reasons we

wont be doing a cake run this year, so you need to get them through one of these avenues or from a Lions

Club member. And know that all profits go to worthy

causes in Lilydale, Australia and worldwide.

A load of old cow poo: We have a new load of old cow manure ready for your vegetables. At $5 a large

bag it is great value. Call Stephen on 6395 1323 to

place your order.

Up coming events: The Lions will continue to be at

the Lilydale Village markets whenever we can, providing our great value sausage sizzle, Christmas cakes, books

and other bric-a-brac. Come and say hello.

We will also be at the Carols in the Vines, providing

dessert, drinks, battery-powered candles and glow in the dark bracelets. We hope to see you all there.

End of the Year: As the year draws to an end and

the club goes into a short hiatus, the Lilydale Lions

would like to wish all members of the Lilydale

community a very happy Christmas with family and friends. We also hope you have a safe and happy 2012.

Be careful over the holiday period.

Senior Citizens

As the year is coming to a close this will be the last

report for 2011. We have had a good year with three

good carnivals having 24 teams in each.

A big thank you must go to Doreen for organising the food etc. and of course all the generous people that

help us in the kitchen and all through the year with

functions.

Our annual Xmas lunch has been arranged and we are

going to Waterfront Hotel, Beauty Point. Thank you David & Jessie for taking the bus, we can all enjoy a

meal and travel in comfort.

Glenys has organised all the Tamar Valley days and

Glenys & Ray represent our club at all the meetings.

On a sadder note we have lost one of our loyal members who passed away suddenly. She was

renowned for her jelly cakes and a great help in the

club. She will be sadly missed.

Hope everyone enjoys Xmas with family and friends and will catch up again in 2012.

Lilydale & District Junior Football

Club

The Lilydale Juniors have received an invitation to join

Bridport next Football Season. This will cover players

in both the Under 16‘s and Under 13‘s teams.

At this stage it has been agreed to talk to them towards the end of January next year, to see if

something can be worked out. Such an arrangement

will mean that Under 16‘s players who missed out on

getting a game this year will have a team to play with

next year.

It will be handy to know:

How many Under 16‘s players would be interested.

How many players there would be for the Under 13‘s. It may be possible to organise some separate

games for Lilydale players.

Whether or not there will be any support from the

Lilydale Football Club.

Whether it would be possible to play games at Lily-

dale on NTFA match days - Under 16‘s and/or Un-

der 13‘s.

Would someone from Lilydale be interested in

acting as an assistant to Bridport‘s Under 16‘s

Coach?

Any other ideas.

For any arrangements to work there will have to be

some give and take by both clubs. This seasons under

13‘s games were nearly all on an away basis and to

compensate for this the Lilydale Junior Committee decided a couple of months ago to seek free admission

to games. Cost of travel. Bridport gave us free

admission without being asked, which should work in

their favour next year.

Don Pollard will be at the Lilydale ground on Thursday

nights from 3pm until the 2011 School year ends, if anyone wishes to discuss the matter. He can also be

contacted by phone on 6395 1288

Lilydale Village Market

The beginning of the fourth season of the Lilydale

Village Market has been enriched by extraordinary

activities, new stall holders, and vibrant energy.

Expect more in the coming months.

Night Markets will have specific themes such as: classic

music, circus, Africa, and Asia. As usual we‘ll have

dance, music, art workshops for children and fun family

activities.

The Belly dancers who performed for the 150th Lily-

dale Anniversary will come back again with their stu-

dents.

On January 15th, Chris Mallory, a mainland contemporary folk musician touring Tasmania, will

perform at the market.

Active Lilydale Fitness Group

Congratulations to all those who have come for their weekly dose of aerobic exercise

and strengthening, toning and balancing

workup! Well done to all of you whether

you came each week or just every few weeks when


you can. We are a group that needs to have

participants to keep going. This means that our Fitness

Instructor comes out from Youngtown each Tuesday

evening for the 7pm start. We need to have 12 - 16 of you coming each week to make it a viable option for

the instructor and for the group to work well as a

whole.

We create energy and enthusiasm when we have that ―critical mass‖ and it makes it more fun, more

enjoyable and strangely but true we all work a bit

harder and make those activities really count.

This helps us to keep active, to ward off stiffness,

obesity, diabetes and other lifestyle illnesses as well as giving us more vitality, energy and a greater feeling of

wellbeing. We get stronger and can do more things

with ease, we can walk up stairs, go hiking or just dig

more garden when we have better core strength and well toned muscles. Given all that, the Group is just a

time to pamper yourself by doing it a good turn, we

have fun and some laughs and don‘t take ourselves too

seriously.

Remember its only one short hour packed with a huge variety of actions and a few light hearted fun activities

to take the hard slog out of it. Our instructor gives

some individual help and instruction as required and

gets to know how to challenge us as individuals. The

time is well spent and is a good way to get some of that necessary exercise in each week that we are all

supposed to have!

The final group session this year will be on December

13, and will resume on Tuesday January 24 at 7pm.

Nathan and Active Lilydale Fitness group wish the

members of the Lilydale community a joyful, peaceful

and bountiful Christmas and a relaxing holiday time.

From 'Meet the Council' at the

Lilydale Village Market.

On Sunday the 20th November in Lilydale I had an

opportunity to meet our Council representatives at the

Lilydale Village Market. Launceston City Council braved the rain which poured down about midday. Deputy

Mayor Jeremy Ball was there - it was his idea to get the

LCC out to visit areas like Lilydale. I had a chance to

talk to the Mayor he told me he was happy that some

consultation had taken place with various people. I raised the issue of Ben Lomond Water's plan which the

Lilydale Progress Association has been concerned with

for some time now. Describing BLW's way of

operating as 'Fascist' {a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power , forcibly suppressing

opposition and criticism} I got the Mayor's attention.

In spite of efforts over time to explain to the Mayor

and Council that BLW had held a public information

session in Lilydale to inform the residents what had been decided on and was subsequently referring to this

meeting and reports conducted by the Council in the

past as 'consultation'. Pointing out to the Mayor that

the LCC was a shareholder in BLW he explained that

"shareholders have no control over what corporations

do".

His suggestion was to contact the Chair of the BLW

Board - Miles Hampton and he would send me the

details.

I thought about this afterwards and wondered if there are people out there who like me think we

are 'shareholders' in our Council. It seemed like that

from our friendly meeting. BLW and it's board is not

elected by us so I am making an appeal to Miles

Hampton the Chairman for his views on 'consultation' with the Lilydale Community and asking why there has

not been any - none.

John Gallagher.

Blackmail

It was coming up to Christmas and Sammy asked his

mum if he could have a new bike. So, she told him that the best idea would be to write to Santa Claus. But

Sam, having just played a vital role in the school nativity

play, said he would prefer to write to the baby Jesus.

So his mum told him that would be fine.

Sam went to his room and wrote ' Dear Jesus, I have been a very good boy and would like to have a bike for

Christmas.' But he wasn't very happy when he read it

over.

So he decided to try again and this time he wrote 'Dear Jesus, I'm a good boy most of the time and would like a

bike for Christmas.' He read it back and wasn't happy

with that one either.

He tried a third version. 'Dear Jesus, I could be a good

boy if I tried hard and especially if I had a new bike.' He read that one too, but he still wasn't satisfied.

So, he decided to go out for a walk while he thought

about a better approach. After a short time he passed a

house with a small statue of the Virgin Mary in the

front garden. He crept in, stuffed the statue under his coat, hurried home and hid it under the bed. Then he

wrote this letter. 'Dear Jesus, If you want to see your

mother again, you'd better send me a new bike.'

The Perfect Gift?

Dear Father Christmas, this Christmas could you

please send me a yellow door. Yours, Sherlock Holmes

Watson: ―So why do you want a yellow door Holmes?‖

Holmes: ―Lemon-entry my dear Watson.‖

Man: ―That train set looks fantastic. I'll take one.‖

Assistant: ―I'm sure your son will love it, Sir!‖ Man: (sighs) ―Oh, yes..... I suppose he would. You'd

better give me two, then.‖


FUND RAISING AT LILYDALE DISTRICT SCHOOL

LILYDALE DISTRICT SCHOOL SNIPPETS Phone: 6395 0100 Fax: 6395 0199 Email: [email protected]

The sun streams down, a slight breeze rustles

the leaves, while inside the students quietly attend to their learning. A normal Spring day

at Lilydale District School. Suddenly, the tranquillity is broken by the distant sound of sirens, whistles and bells. As the intensity increases, it is

obvious that something is on its way through Lilydale and approaching the school. The sound of revving motors blends with the cacophony and now the gaudy coloured cars complete with strange

designs and even stranger occupants round the corner and head into the school grounds.

The students, somewhat bewildered by this invasion complete with water cannons and hair spray, hold back... uncertainty and nervousness guiding their every move. But suddenly, the tense atmosphere is

broken by laughter as both invader and invaded embrace, Elmo, Mad Cow and the Gangster Ladies obviously breaking the ice and leading the way for others to connect with the students.

This was the scene on Wednesday, 19 October when VARIETY TASBASH came to town. And what a

visit it was! For 45 minutes the Variety Volunteers treated us to a wonderful time. We wandered

around the cars; marvelled at their design; talked with the crazy characters; and dodged the water

cannons. We shared a BBQ with them and thanked them for their generosity - $2,000 for notebook computers to help some of us with our work.

Thank you TASBASH, not only for your generosity to Lilydale District School, but also for the valuable

work that you all do right around the state... you are TASMANIAN HEROES.

EQUESTRIAN TEAM

Claire Garden, Chelsea Nixon, Emily Nixon

and Kiyomi Roe Bose recently competed in

the Interschools‘ Dressage completion at Powranna. All the riders did a great job and

no one incurred any errors of course and all rode very well. The horses, riders and

mothers represented the school with pride and were a pleasure to spend the day with.

Samantha Sward came and helped out, which

was fantastic.

Claire and Apache put in a wonderful performance, under immense pressure, to

place second. We farewell Claire and

Apache, and Allira Williams from Lilydale

Equestrian Team as Claire and Allira finish

Grade 10 this year. They have competed successfully over many years for the school.

Bandanna day

The SRC sold Bandannas on Friday, 28 October, 2011 and

the school community raised $348.00 for the charity

CanTeen.

UNICEF Day For Change

Recently also, the students from 7/8 Marshall asked everyone to wear casual clothes and support

UNICEF. They raised $287.00, which will go towards helping more East Timorese children attend school.

THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO

ORGANISED THESE EVENTS AND ALSO TO THOSE WHO SUPPORTED THESE GREAT

CAUSES.

What can help you sleep?

Have a calming bedtime routine such as; a warm (but

not hot) bath, a warm milk drink and light snack,

listening to peaceful music, reading for a while and/or slow deep breathing.

If you are unable to fall asleep within 20 minutes of

going to bed, get up and only return to bed when you

feel sleepy. If you wake in the night and can‘t get back to sleep within 20 minutes, get up and only return to

bed when you feel sleepy. Write down your worries or

problems and decide to deal with them in the morning.

Do something relaxing or repeat your calming bedtime

routine. It may take several weeks of this program to establish a good sleeping habit.

Only use your bed for sleep and sex. No work or TV

in the bedroom.

Sleeping tablets have a limited role in managing sleep problems. They can be quite effective at inducing sleep,

but they can cause dependence. If used every night you

may find that you can‘t sleep without them, and

gradually you need to take more tablets to give you a

good sleep. If used only occasionally, they can be very helpful by giving you a good night‘s sleep. This is the

best way to use sleeping tablets – only sometimes.

Some herbal preparations like valerian and chamomile

may help with relaxation and sleeping.

Lilydale Online Access Centre

The end of another year and it‘s been a full one at the Access Centre. We‘ve helped people with questions

about buying computers, using the internet, creating

photo montages and slideshows, using their laptops,

getting to grips with all the new Office software out

there, graphics, audio, iTunes and Ebay.

One thing‘s for sure if we don‘t know the answer to

your questions we‘ll definitely have some ideas about

how to find out!

As usual the Centre will be closed for 2 weeks over

the Christmas period. We will close at 6pm on Friday 24th December and reopen at 2pm on Tuesday 10th

January 2012.

Christmas Websites are the flavour of this month, from

making things with the kids to decorating the house and great recipes

All Things Christmas is one of the largest Christmas

websites on the net http://www.allthingschristmas.com/

Northpole.com is back online again this year: http://

www.northpole.com/

Santa‟s Net has recipes from Mrs Claus herself:

Sleeping problems in adults

Some people need a lot less sleep than others. The

average is 8 hours but the range is 4 to 10 hours sleep

at night. About a third of all adults have sleeping

problems.

Sleeping problems can be caused by many things;

Pain: Try taking pain relievers before bed.

Cramp: Try massaging legs or taking magnesium

tablets before bed.

Sleep Apnoea: (a condition that causes a person to stop breathing for short periods while sleeping). This

needs medical assistance and perhaps a sleep apnoea

machine to use while sleeping.

Snoring: This can be a sign of sleep apnoea or nasal

constriction requiring medical investigation.

Stress, depression, anxiety or worry: Finding ways of

resolving issues and treating depression will resolve

the sleep problems.

Having daytime naps: This usually means that you wont need as much sleep during the night, so you may

need to go to bed later or get up earlier. If you want to

sleep longer at night, then avoid the day time napping.

Not enough physical exercise: Try regular gentle

exercise, walking or gardening, but not within an hour or so of going to bed.

Comfort: Make sure the bedroom is not too hot,

cold, stuffy, noisy or light. The bed should not be too

hard, soft or lumpy.

Food/drugs: In the evening avoid caffeine (tea, coffee,

cola, energy drinks) nicotine, alcohol. A very empty or

very full stomach may reduce sleep..

Getting up in the night to go to the toilet

disturbs sleep: Reduce the number of evening drinks. Older men may have prostate enlargement which

results in frequent night time visits to the toilet. This

condition can be treated successfully.

Over-stimulation in the evening by working,

exercise, TV or radio can cause sleep problems: try relaxation therapy in the evenings. Progressive

muscle relaxation is performed by focusing on each

part of the body separately, and gradually relaxing and

allowing to become heavy. Mental imagery can be used to focus on a pleasant image and retaining it for as long

as possible while breathing evenly. Yoga and Tai Chi

can be very helpful.

If you wake up coughing or wheezing,

then you may have nocturnal asthma and need to see your doctor.
