Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. Editorial The time has come to set the record straight. Yes, Falls Farm is for sale. No, Bryan and I are not leaving the district. (I can hear some groans of despair mixed in with those sighs of relief!) After nearly 8 years living and running a business at the farm, we have decided it’s time to move out and give someone else a go. (It does seem a little ridiculous for just two of us to be rattling around in that huge house, when we’re really not running a business from it anymore.) Hopefully we’ll find someone to take over where we left off. So if you know of anyone that wants to run a tearoom and Bed & Breakfast let me know. We’re planning on moving to another property in Lilydale and start renovating all over again. So after my comment about getting my hands dirty in the last Progressive I can say, unequivocally, yes I did get dirt under my nails (nothing so mundane as weeding though) I planted some annuals in pots to brighten up the verandah, I’ve also been upstairs sorting out about 20 years worth of collecting (mainly fabrics and wool etc). It’s amazing to me just how much stuff you can collect in such a relatively short space of time. I took 6 garbage bags full of material and wool to give to local charities to use. (Cleaned up my place and helped out a bit at the same time.) The next step is to sort through all the myriad other items collected and hoarded over the years. Hmm I think there will be one giant clearing sale before we move. There’s no way all that stuff will fit into a smaller house. Well enough of that, one thing I did notice was that of all the items I have decided we don’t need anymore, our family photo album was one of the The Lilydale Progressive—November 2002 things I could never part with. The sad thing was, when I looked through Mum’s old album, I didn’t know half of the names of the people in the pictures. This is so true of images we keep from past times. I’ll have to get my sister to come over and go through them with me to put names to faces. Speaking of which, I was recently fortunate to have access to some really old photos of Lilydale. A former resident of the district sent a stack of photos from the 1920’s to the Lilydale school, so I have set myself a new project to collect and scan pictures from Lilydale’s history and to document them as best as I can while we still have people with us who remember what they were all about. Many of the photos were Tennis related from the district. Thanks to Kath Shepherd & Eunice Finan I have been able to put names to some of the faces and places in the pictures. If you’d like to see the photos we have already drop into the Centre, perhaps you can help put names to the faces we don’t know! What I’d really like to do is extend this project, so if you have some old photos of Lilydale and you wouldn’t mind sharing them with the rest of us, I would urge you to contact me at the Access Centre on 6395 1129. We’ll be able to scan your pictures, (You don’t even need to leave them with me, so they’ll be perfectly safe) make some notes about where and what they are all about and that way your memories of Lilydale will be available to future residents of our lovely town. If anyone else is interested in helping out with this project please give me a call. Wouldn’t it be great to put together a pictorial history of Lilydale from the point of view of its residents, Jayne past and present.

Extensive range of fabrics and vinyls Tasmanian Regional Arts News: The Mountain Day was quite successful; the weather was fine (obviously there wasn’t a Village Green working bee on that day), the plaster mountain was a huge success, being painted and decorated by a willing crew of littlies, and a few grown ups who couldn’t resist later on (one member of the Fire Brigade was just itching to have a go!). Thank you to Class 6/7S for their poems/drawings and myths, also to the school children who provided the terrific paintings which were displayed in the Hall. Free Quotes—No Obligation One of the highlights of the day was the “Postcards to the Mountain” exhibition, which drew a lot of attention; the work presented by people from Southern Regions was terrific.

Page 2 ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR J.K & S.L LOONE Lilydale Retirement Homes and Day Care Inc The Board of Management of the Association has developed into a tight and efficient unit, and, as anticipated in our first Progressive article, our last Board meeting finished at a respectable hour. One of the reasons for the smooth running of the meetings is the allocation of individual responsibilities to our 3 committee members. The areas of Client Representation, Welfare and Grounds/Maintenance are each represented by one person. This division of tasks contributes markedly to the efficiency of the Board. Our first Quarterly Members Meeting will be held on Monday, November 11, 2002 at 12.30 p.m in the Old Court Room, and all members of the Association are cordially invited to attend. New members will be made most welcome. An important issue to be discussed will be the development of the Association’s vacant land in Station Road, so please, if you have any ideas or suggestions bring them along to the meeting. Frea Peschar Secretary In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. Growing Old is Inevitable; Growing Up is Optional 1975 Main Road, Lilydale, Tasmania 7268 Props.

Page 4 Lilydale Neighbourhood Watch There were several people who could not attend this meeting and so our numbers were down. This year is our 10th Anniversary of Neighbourhood Watch. We will be having a special evening in December to celebrate and to present certificates to those who have been dedicated zone leaders for the full 10 years. We will be holding this celebration at the Providence Vineyards on 12/12/02 at 7pm.

Our meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Lilydale Fire Station. These Zone Leaders are the ones who keep our Neighbourhood Watch group going and keep a watch out for any suspicious incidents in your areas so that crime is kept to a minimum where possible. Police Report: 2 sheds were broken into at Wyena and number of power tools and garden equipment was stolen. There has been a vehicle acting suspiciously in the above area. Anyone seeing any vehicles acting suspiciously are asked to report them to their Zone Leader or their local Police Officer. Our next meeting will be on November 14th at 8pm at the Lilydale Fire Station.

The Lilydale Progressive—November 2002 Mary Walsh Centre The Mary Walsh Centre, even though it has a different name, continues to provide the same caring and friendly environment for the people who attend. Many and varies are the activities undertaken by its clients, ranging from sedentary pursuits such as craft, quizzes and discussions of the daily news, to excursions to areas of interest and beauty and trips to visit other Day Centres in the North. The new Committee of Management has only six members, who, however; still seem to do the work of twelve! Hopefully, though the load will be considerably lightened after the Centre’s Assessment at the end of this year. Although no organisation can run one hundred percent perfect, we still expect to receive a creditable rating from the powers that be. A concern to the staff and to the Committee of Management of the Centre is the serious lack of volunteers. We would urge anyone, male or female, who has some time to spare on a Tuesday or Thursday, between the hours of 10 and 3.30 to come to the Centre to lend a hand to the hardworking staff. No experience is necessary; all you need is the will to help the Centre continue to provide a safe and friendly environment for some of our more senior community members. For more information, please contact the Centre on 63 95 1316 between the hours of 9.30 and 4.00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and speak to our Coordinator, Darian Davis-Alford. Mary Walsh Centre News Spring is well on the way now and as usual we are having gusty winds which are often chilly. Frequent showers of rain are making it rather unsuitable for gardening or putting in crops as the soil is too wet to cultivate. We are more fortunate than others who are getting no rain, with bush fires as a result. Our world is in turmoil but we are so much better off than many others. For this we are grateful. Our woes are minor compared with many. At Day Care we have a haven from outside troubles. We have plenty to eat, warmth and the company of friends and helpers each day. When we are not well we are treated with kindness and our doctor is close by, if needed. Our craft lady, Sue, has many good ideas for making articles of interest all of which are useful. Our people went to Scottsdale to view their “Seniors Week” Art and Craft exhibition and visit the folk at the Scottsdale Day Care Centre. Some of our clients are absent due to illness. We trust they will soon be well again and back to join us. The local gardens are resplendent with many beautiful bulbs and annuals. “One simple hug can do it’s part, To warm and cheer another’s heart. A hug’s a bit of heaven above That signifies His perfect love.” Page 6 CWA Notes LALLY’S RALLY organised by the State C.W.A. at the suggestion last year by Mrs. Marie Lally, the Australian National President of CWA was held at Camp Clayton 14th-16th October this year. After a welcome to all by Mrs. Jill Hayes, Tas. State President, Mrs. Lally spoke about the Rural Women’s conference in Spain, from which she had just returned – suffering from asthma, due to the polluted air in Italy. She also spoke of where our parcels of sewing aids and materials had helped in Samoa and of teaching the women how to draft, cut and sew for themselves. The first time of being there they had to work on cleaned dirt floors; the next time they went back, there were tables to work on. Sewing machines are very hard to come by, and a lot of their sewing is done by hand. After afternoon tea, there were workshops to attend; Photography, Genealogy, Colour Co-ordinating, Health Issues. Following our evening meal, we were entertained by some brave people dressed as Chinese in an unrehearsed play called “the Stolen Prince”. It was hilarious seeing them try walking with very small steps. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings’ activities commenced with stories by three ladies each morning about their early lives and up to the present day. The workshops on Tuesday, which lasted one and a half to two hours, were C.P.R, cooking potatoes, stamping on cards and re-potting orchids. After lunch, one hour of Tai-Chi, this really impressed quite a few under active ladies. Later there was a panel discussion on ‘Life Experiences in Public’. After a BBQ dinner we went inside for a sing-a-long and reciting of bush poetry – celebrating the ‘Year of the Outback’. Wednesday morning our speakers were Sandra Parker of the “Rural Women’s Secretariat” and a quarantine officer with his sniffer dog ‘Kimberley’. A very alert border collie/kelpie. After morning tea a Panel Discussion on “Rural Communities and Volunteering” given by Marie Lally, Jan Richardson and Clemencia Barnes. Then, lunch clean up, pack up and head home. You may be interested to know that Mrs. Lally had nothing but praise for the clean, clear air of Tassie – her asthmna had almost cleared up in the 2 days that we were there. Norma Bardenhagen. On the 23rd October, our own Lilydale branch provided a light lunch and some entertainment for 17 tourists and four leaders, plus bus driver from W.A. Our next C.W.A. Meeting Wednesday November 6th, 1.30 p.m. at 42 Station Road, Lilydale. Please! Does anyone know the words of “On Top of Spaghetti” (to the tune of “On Top of Old Smokey”), particularly the second verse – when a lovely spaghetti tree covered in tomato sauce and meatballs grows? – Help would be appreciated.

We have only been able to schedule two successful working bees since the beginning of June. On every other occasion wet weather has created a quagmire and prevented us from making desired progress. In fact, it is now eleven weeks since the foundation holes were dug for the shelter and they have virtually been filled with water since. Hopefully this will change over the next couple of weeks or so. However, despite all of the setbacks, we decided to concentrate on the toilet block end of the site and to carry out work during the week with the view to beating the weekend rain cycle. This has worked out successfully and the toilets and other facilities next to the takeaway being opened on the weekend of 26th. & 27th. October. Apart from acknowledging the helpers who turned up at our Saturday working bees, a few people deserve a special mention for offering their assistance during the mid week working phase. Firstly Colin Crook, who helped with the construction of the notice boards and quite a bit of wheelbarrow and shovel work. Secondly, Gillian Robnik devoted quite a bit of time towards selecting the special plants and shrubs we were seeking and also created the painted mountain scene on the takeaway wall as a backdrop for the eating area. Rather nice - don’t you think? Peter Hall also chipped in by installing many of the special fittings in the toilets and Rex McKercher ploughed up the area between the toilets and the notice board with his tiller. Max Williams went out of his way to make sure that some of the special items for the toilets were manufactured and supplied at short notice and Carol painted the complete notice board structure. Last, but certainly not least, Simon Locket made sure that all necessary plumbing work was completed (without labour cost) by the opening date. All in all, it has been a concentrated effort to get the toilet block end of the site opened. We are quite pleased with the work to date and we certainly hope the community makes full use of the facilities. Remember, the Village Green is being constructed primarily for the Lilydale & District community. Certainly, we welcome visitors, but at the end of the day the facilities are mainly for our use. The Community notice board has been provided with two objects in mind. Firstly the central chalkboard section is for community groups to promote their functions during the week prior to the events. The board has been divided into two sections, to allow for two groups to advertise concurrently. At this stage, we do not think that a “booking system” is Page 8 Your Local Jim Does More Than Just Mow Lawns... warranted. If groups adopt the idea that they only use the board for the week leading up to their events, two lots of advertising should be sufficient. The two wing boards are for community groups to promote their existence, what they do, when they do it and who should be contacted for further details. We have made arrangements with Jayne Saddington at the Online Centre who will assist groups to design & lay out their posters, and have it laminated for a virtually nominal cost. A4 size from $4 and A3 size from $7. If we do it this way, there will be some form of uniformity to all of the posters, which will be affixed to the two wing boards. At such a low cost, each poster can be renewed at least annually, with new contact numbers etc. Obviously, further working bees will be held on Saturdays, with the view to having as much of the project finished by Christmas. Again, please check the notice boards at the Village Green and outside the Post Office and come and join us for a few hours. Your "Local Jim" is a whole lot more than a lawnmower man.

The best health decision you can make-for you and your family. We can help you. HEALTH NOTES From the Lilydale Pharmacy Men’s Health Men might appear to be better off than women – and that may be so in the workforce, but certainly not when it comes to health. The average life expectancy for an Australian male is about 75 years, compared with 81 for Australian women. It is not only that men die earlier than women. Men also suffer more from conditions such as heart disease and colon cancer; and they are more likely to suffer accident-related injuries. It seems there are a number of reasons why men’s health is poorer than women’s: men are more likely to smoke, be overweight, have high blood pressure and consume harmful quantities of alcohol. Furthermore, men are less likely than women to consult their doctor on a regular basis. In the typical family unit, it is the wife and mother who is mostly concerned with healthcare, both for herself and her husband and children. From puberty, through their child-bearing years and onwards, women get into that good habit of regularly seeing their GP. It is only with great reluctance that most men would even consider consulting their doctor. By the time we get to our 40s and 50s our bodies may begin to show signs of wear and tear. Regular ‘check-ups’ and ‘maintenance’ procedures, which women are so used to having carried out, will be able to prevent serious illness or at least allow for early diagnosis and effective treatment. So it should be for men. Even if no health problems are apparent, from the age of 50 onwards men should attend their GP for a check up at least every two years. If men have the occasion The Lilydale Progressive—November 2002 to visit a doctor, say for the treatment of an injury, or perhaps travel vaccinations, they should take the opportunity to have their blood pressure and blood sugar levels checked. Conditions such as hypertension and diabetes can occur with few symptoms and little or no warning. There are, of course, some special health issues for men, such as prostate problems. The prostate gland is at the base of the bladder where it makes a fluid that lubricates sperm. The gland is about the size of a walnut and has a hole through the middle like a doughnut. The tube (known as the urethra) which empties urine from the bladder, passes through this hole. As men get older the prostate can become enlarged, pinching the urethra and upsetting normal urine flow – causing sometimes uncomfortable or embarrassing symptoms. There are several causes of enlarge prostate - some simple and some more serious – but nearly all can be treated effectively if diagnosed early. At the pharmacy we have information and fact cards on most health issues. Some are; Bowel Cancer, Prostate problems, High Blood Pressure, Sleeping Problems, Heartburn and Indigestion and Gout. Each fact card offers information about signs and symptoms, self help procedures and when to seek further medical advice. Karoola Volunteer Fire Brigade Well its time again to be aware of our surrounds at home and on our properties. Have you changed your smoke detector batteries yet? A good gauge is at the start of day light savings and at the end of day light savings. Along with last years growth and this years we must be more diligent about our surrounds which includes tree trimming along with the cleaning of our spouts, grass and scrub from around our houses and sheds. Also in conciliation with our neighbours you may need to ‘burn off’ some areas so, DO IT NOW, don’t leave it too late as our Permit Officer might have to say NO! to a burn off, depending on the conditions at the time. Our permit officers are able to give you advice with your burn-off so please don’t hesitate to ask “its better to ask than find yourself in a spot of bother”.

A large percentage of dogs that are euthanased at the pound and by welfare organisations are young healthy dogs. While it is certain that more universal desexing of pets would reduce this number this is not the full story. One important cause of young dog euthanasia is behavioural problems. Some common examples would be: Aggressiveness Disobedience Destructiveness Hyperactivity It is very sad that young healthy dogs are destroyed as well as the many other people and their dogs who are not enjoying each other as a result of these problems. What can we do about it? It can be difficult (but usually not impossible) to correct behavioural problems when they have been going a long time and the behavior has become ingrained, so prevention right from the beginning is the way to go. ¾ Buy the right breed or type of dog. The breed you admire most may not suit your lifestyle or personality. If you live in town with little area for off lead exercise don’t buy a working dog such as a Border Collie. If these dogs don’t get heaps of exercise (and companionship) that energy will be directed somewhere else – barking, digging or destructiveness. Some breeds have a greater requirement for company and mental stimulation than others do – the German Shepherd would be a good example. ¾ Start obedience training early in life, that is, as soon as you take your puppy home at 8 weeks of age. You need to make a point of training him, dogs don’t just “pick up” what they should know. There are many places that you can go with young pups to learn how to teach your dog and these days it is by “positive reinforcement” rather than “reward and punishment”, an important difference if you are teaching very young dogs or those with a more soft temperament. ¾ Don’t expect children to look after and train the dog. They don’t have the maturity or experience. Make the dog a family responsibility. ¾ Decide how you want your dog to behave and work out or find out how to achieve that. Do not put up with behaviour you don’t like but understand that your dog doesn’t know you don’t like it unless you teach him that that is the case.

A daily walk with the owner contributes to all these requirements and this is also good for the human too! Young dogs of all breeds have heaps of energy, which has to have an outlet. These days there is help available from obedience clubs and private organisations when you have dog trouble but results will only be achieved if you and your family are committed to the time and effort required. If you are not then your dog may join those thousands of others that have their lives cut short in their prime or who lead a confined and frustrating existence as their owners try to manage their behavioural problems.

If you also install a drip irrigation system that lies hidden under the mulch you will have even more time to relax under a shady tree this summer. Hello everyone, We've had a very busy month with much work happening on the straw bale room. We will be holding working bees for the community to join in with every Saturday in November, so if you're at all interested in straw bale building or would like to help or would just like to say hello, please feel free to come up and see what we're up to. The main person doing the building, Matthew Parnell will be leaving the state in the first week of December, so it's full steam ahead!! Cucumbers: Cucumbers grow well if you plant them between sweet corn, providing the cucumbers with some much needed shade from our summer sun, keeping their roots cool, and giving them something to climb on. Cucumbers are prone to fungal disease when the fruit touches the soil so growing them among sweet corn allows the fruit to hang safely above the soil. This Months Recipe Tiny Christmas Puddings Fun to make and decorate with (the help of) children. Ingredients · 1 bought dark fruitcake approx 800g (a cheap one is fine) · 200/250g block dark chocolate · 125g butter · 2 tablespoons of rum or Grand Marnier or brandy or orange juice · optional: extra fruit or citrus peel, very finely chopped, or orange zest (finely grated peel) To ice: · white glace icing (1 cup icing sugar mixture and about 1 tablespoon water) · silver cachous or glace cherries Method Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl over very hot water. While it is melting, crumble the fruit cake into a large bowl. Add the rum/Grand Marnier/ brandy/orange juice and mix it through. Stir the melted butter/chocolate mixture until it is combined and pour it into the cake mixture. Mix well until all is combined. Prepare two swiss-roll size baking trays with greaseproof paper. Take one teaspoon of the mixture and roll into a ball, place on trays and continue until you have used up all the mixture. This size will make between 70 and 80 tiny Christmas puddings. Put the trays into the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow them to set. Prepare the white glace icing. Ice the tiny puddings, allowing the icing to trickle down the sides of the puddings. Put a small piece of glace cherry or a silver cachou on top of each one and return to the refrigerator to set - a day or two gives the flavour time to develop. You could also use the Royal Icing on these tiny Christmas puddings. Store in the refrigerator (especially in the heat of an Australian Christmas!). These make excellent presents. The Lilydale Progressive—November 2002 The Kepler Ensemble have once again kindly offered to provide the Centre with a magical evening of music and candle light. As in previous concerts the hall will be completely candle lit and looks just beautiful. If you can make it to this special Christmas concert you will be delighted I'm sure. It will be on the evening of Saturday 23rd November at 8pm. All proceeds will go toward the straw bale construction. The cost is $10.00 per person and includes supper. We are having a BBQ to celebrate our 2nd year since our official opening, a public viewing of the straw bale building, the giving out of thank you certificates to those who have helped at the Centre this year and a 10 minute 'special general meeting' for all members of the Mt Arthur Centre. (This will be to accept our amended constitution). The board would like to extend a warm welcome to all those who would like to see what we've been up to this year (eg our tree planting and improvements). Hamburgers, sausages and salads will be provided. Please BYO drinks. BBQ to start at 5.30pm, special general meeting and certificates at aprox 7.30pm. Please come along and perhaps see what you could use this community facility for. Please RSVP by 20th Nov to help with catering numbers. Don't forget to contact Regional Arts to book your place for the mud dyeing workshop with Philomena Hali on Weds 6th Nov and Thurs 7th Nov. $10.00 for members and $20.00 for non-members for the 2 day workshop. Contact Carol on 6395 1263. Is there anyone else interested in joining a Yoga class at the Centre. If so could you please let me know your preferred days and times. That's all for now. Any enquiries or information needed, please phone the Centre on 6395 1201. Cheers, Maggie. Page 12 Lilydale Football Thanks to a good year by the ladies in the Canteen (almost $8,000 was raised for club funds), the club will show a profit again this year. Early, unaudited calculations are, the results for 2002 will go close to cancelling out the loss made last year. As well as the good canteen result the profit was achieved through better attendances at Home games and some cost cutting. It was also achieved despite some sharp increases in costs, the unavoidable ones that have to be paid, insurance, umpires, electricity etc. Next year will see some coaching changes, Steve Buchanan (Bucky) has been appointed Seniors coach but all other positions are open at the moment. With elections due, the new committee can have a say and there are indications that there are coaches who wish to stand down and perhaps take up a different role in the club. Coaching today is very much a teaching role and through the AFL there are training courses available, the club pays the costs of ‘coaching the coaches’. The Victorian Auskick Coach of the Year (2001) was a woman, people believe that women are more patient with young children and that appear to be true. New people are needed to give the club energy and perhaps revitalise some of the old bodies about the place. Interested? Please let us know. The change back to a Presentation Dinner saw nearly 90 people sit down for a meal so would be declared a success, the downer was about a dozen people failed to turn up and the Club still had to pay for their meals. With some healthy appetites the food was not wasted though. Results of the Awards for the 2002 season are available from the Club. Combined Charities Christmas Card Shop The Combined Charities Christmas Card Shop will be operating in Launceston again this year. Located in the Bookshop of the City Mission in Wellington Street opposite Begents, the shop will sell a large range of Christmas cards provided by many charitable organisations. Christmas Cakes and Puddings from a local Rotary Club will also be available. The shop is run by volunteers from the various charities represented so all the profits go back to the charities. From Monday October 14th till Wednesday December 18th the shop will be open between 9.30am and 4.00pm every day Monday to Friday The shop will also be open from 5.30pm till 8.00pm on Friday November 8th.

Free measure & quotes, advice & ideas 671 Brown Mountain Rd, Underwood 7268 Ph: 03 6395 1147 The Gift of Life On the very first day, God created the cow. He said to the cow, "Today I have created you! As a cow, you must go to the field with the farmer all day long. You will work all day under the sun! I will give you a life span of 50 years." The cow objected, "What? This kind of a tough life you want me to live for 50 years? Let me have 20 years, and the 30 years I’ll give back to you." So God agreed. On the second day, God created the dog. God said to the dog, "Your job is to sit all day by the door of your house. Any people that come in, you will have to bark at them! I’ll give a life span of 20 years." The dog objected, "What? All day long to sit by the door? No way! I give you back my other 10 years of life!" So God agreed. On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to the monkey, "Monkeys have to entertain people. You’ve got to make them laugh and do monkey tricks. I’ll give you 20 years life span." The monkey objected. "What? Make them laugh? Do monkey faces and tricks? Ten years will do, and the other 10 years I’ll give you back." So God agreed. On the fourth day, God created man and said to him, "Your job is to sleep, eat, and play. You will enjoy many things in your life. All you need to do is to enjoy and do nothing. This kind of life, I’ll give you a 20 year life span." The man objected. "What? Such a good life! Eat, play, sleep, do nothing? Enjoy the best and you expect me to live only for 20 years? No way, man!…Why don’t we make a deal? Since the cow gave you back 30 years, and the dog gave you back 10 years and the monkey gave you back 10 years, I will take them from you! That makes my life span 70 years, right?" So God agreed. And that is why…In our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play, enjoy the best and do nothing much. For the next 30 years, we work all day long, suffer and get to support the family. For the next 10 years, we entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces and monkey tricks. And for the last 10 years, we stay at home, sit by the front door and bark at people!
