ISSUE 31, October 21st, 2014

The students of Eastbourne Primary School are delighted to be a part of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden National Program, funded by the Australian Government.

The program began at Eastbourne Primary School in 2008 with an aim to provide a fun and hands on experience for children while teaching them the skills and knowledge to grow and prepare seasonal

foods which contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

School Principal Stephen Wilkinson said “ The kids get a chance to get into the garden, get their hands dirty, do some weeding, watering, harvesting, and lots of things they may not get to do at home”

“it’s more than just gardening, it’s about science and community, it’s about having fun, and working together. In the kitchen, there is a lot of

measurement, maths and writing about the menu and table manners” he said.

The menu is based on the foods they have harvested from the garden and the children enjoy eating the dishes they have created from their garden produce.

Kelly Wood is the Garden and Kitchen Specialist who works with the students.

“We encourage parents to come in and help, it’s a challenge working with so many children in the kitchen at once” she said.

“Sometimes the reaction we get from the parents is priceless when they realise how much their children are capable of. Some of the grade threes and grade fours are going home and cooking meals for their families now” she said.

Principal Stephen Wilkinson said that the costs

of keeping the Kitchen Garden program going, exceed the funding provided by the government.

“We are lucky to have received some donations and we have people in the community volunteering their time, although more so in the kitchen than the garden. We also sell any excess vegetables to the community.”

There is no doubt that the Kitchen Garden program is a positive experience for all involved.

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a green thumb, or would like to help out in the kitchen or donate, please phone Eastbourne Primary School on 5986 4884. Even just a small amount of your time would be greatly appreciated to help keep the program going.

As we approach the warmer weather, it’s important not to forget to protect yourself in the sun.

Some of the worst sunburn can occur during the beginning of the warmer weather when people are out of practice and unprepared.

The fact is, that people really should be using sunscreens all year round, however, many people don’t. Just one bad sunburn at the beginning of the summer months can mean an increased risk of serious skin conditions for months or even years to come.

According to the Cancer Council of Victoria, nearly 2000 Australians die from skin cancer every year. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure and check moles and sunspots regularly for any changes. See a doctor if you are unsure.

Parents should be vigilant with sun protection not only for their children, but also themselves. Research shows that children follow the example of their parents more than anyone else.

Using Sunscreen, hats and other protective clothing

can help make the warm weather much more enjoyable and prevent unnecessary discomfort.

Sunburn and skin cancer are not the only things we should be looking at protecting ourselves against.

Drinking plenty of fluids and staying in cool or shaded areas will also prevent such things as heat and sun stroke which is more common in the elderly.

Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, hot dry skin, cramps, nausea or vomiting, rapid heartbeat or

breathing (cancer council of Vic)

When it’s really hot, take care not only of your own family, but look out for others around you. If you suspect someone may have heat stroke, offer assistance and call 000 for help immediately. Heat stroke can quickly lead to unconsciousness.

So slip slop slap, grab a drink and head down to one (or more) of our beautiful beaches here on the Southern Mornington Peninsula. Isn’t that what summer’s all about?!

THE BONEO BRADMAN. Story and photographs provided by Ray Gibb

I interviewed the Boneo Bradman ten days after he made his last century.

Quite some time earlier, I was doing some research that led to Dick Parker of Rosebud ringing me and telling me I should interview Ray Cairns, but Dick didn't know where Ray was living.

When Ray turned 100, an article about the Boneo Bradman was published and I was able to find him. I taped our interview and wrote a journal.

Ray's grandfather was a pioneer of Boneo in 1852.

Robert Cairns settled on crown allotment 2 section A, parish of Wannaeue, consisting of 177 acres on the north east corner of Boneo and Browns Rds with a 757 metre frontage to Old Cape Schanck Rd.

Robert intended to farm but soon discovered

that lime burning was far more lucrative. Robert's parents-in-law,the Drysdales, settled on the other side of the bay and I shouldn't have to explain exactly where.

Soon Robert was able to assist his brothers, David and Alex to come out. "Little Scotland", as crown allotment 2 was called by locals, was jointly granted to the three brothers.

Alex also bought the block across Boneo Rd,on which a cemetery was established and still exists.

Because the three brothers gave the same names to so many of their children, many of them acquired nicknames to prevent confusion, such as Hill Harry, Carrier Harry, Blacks Camp Davey, Eleanora Davey, Back Road Bob, Rosebud Ted and so on.

Ray's dad, Hill Harry, married a daughter of Michael Cain of Tyrone,

west of Rye. The Cains were devout Catholics, organising masses at Rye for decades before a church was built, so obviously neither family was bigoted.

Michael Cain had married a Miss Neville and her maiden name is recalled by a street name on the subdivision of "Tyrone", as is that of Joseph Cain's wife, Murray.

Michael Cain's mother-in-law, Grandma Neville, lived in South Melbourne and that was where Ray and his siblings were born.

Robert Cairns had relocated to "Maroolaba" near Pattersons Rd in Fingal and the farm had been inherited by Hill Harry.

When Ray and the others were about 10 day old, their mother would bring them down by steamer to Dromana and Hill Harry would pick them up.

The Boneo Bradman recalled that as a boy he enjoyed trips up to THE ROSEBUD, as they all called Rosebud.

The article recalled the thousands of runs that Ray made for Boneo.

Author, Ray Gibb set himself a bicentenary project in 1988 to acknowledge the many pioneers who had been ignored. His research into the history of the Mornington Peninsula, centred on Rosebud, began in 2010. He has written 317 journals as itellya on Family Tree Circles. Ray will be contributing weekly to the Rosebud Ripple.

To dry herbs that have a high volatile oil or essential oil content it is essential that they are dried as fast as possible. Often the more these herbs are handled, the more oils and smell that they lose and it is this part that is of value. I once had someone bring be a large bag of dried rosemary. Unfortunately I was not able to accept it, as the rosemary had all turned black. It had burnt and had lost its smell and colour. If was of little therapeutic value to us. Herbs that are very temperamental when it comes to drying include lemon balm, rosemary, basil, parsley and plantain. These will darken very easily and special care must be taken with them. Herbs are considered dry once the moisture content has fallen below 8 to 10%. It is at this point that leaves will crumble when they are rubbed on screens and stems will make a snap when bent. The picture depicts a Solar Vertical Stack dryer, this was built in New Zealand in 1984. The sheathing was weather treated plywood. A second hand solar heating panel was used; this was connected to a heating plate that was made from corrugated iron on the roof. This drying area works on convection. Crude

temperature control was achieved by opening a air flap on the side of the drying chamber, opposite and at the same height as the solar air inlet. The stack above the chamber had 2 cheap plastic bathroom fans to help the moisture full air to be vented out. The fans were powered by warm air convection and not by electricity. The shape of the drying chamber and the stack help to increase the air velocity needed to carry the ‘wet’ air into the atmosphere. There are many other drying systems that can be used, these two are just examples of what can be used here in WA. There is a drying facility that is being set up in Margaret River and we have been approached to see if we would use it. I will keep you posted on its progress and hopefully we might have some photos for you later on. There are always exceptions to the rule when it comes to plants, so we shall discuss their drying in a broad sense. To summarize optimum drying requirements, it is best that herbs : Are dried in the shade There is a 80 to 90%

moisture loss The area is free of

contamination

Ventilation is essential There must be no mould

or fungi present during the drying processes

The herbs must be spread out to a single layer only

The faster the drying time the better

Temperatures should not exceed 45ºC

Insulation is preferable Drying your herbs can be an efficient and enjoyable process if you take the time out to create a viable and working herb drying system. I started with some racks above my pot belly

(that I still use), to moving to a larger shed and then a larger shed area. Sea containers work well and can easily be adapted to create a drying area. You decide what drying system will best suit your lifestyle and budget. Even herbs grown in an elaborate and costly herb set up, can contain many unacceptable contaminants and extraneous materials, the actually harvesting and laying out of your produce is just as important.

CROSSWORD


Lime Pie (based on a Key Lime Pie Recipe)

Health & Wellbeing- This year's theme for

World Spine Day this year was Straighten Up and Move, focusing on the importance of proper posture and movement in maintaining good spinal health.

Our hectic and stressful lifestyles can often have significant negative affects on our spine and nervous system. Spinal disorders such as back pain, neck pain, scoliosis and degenerative disc disease are common, and can have a profound effect on a person's overall health, impacting the ability to work, enjoy everyday activities and even disrupting healthy sleep patterns.

Research has demonstrated that poor

posture and inactivity can contribute to the development of back pain and other spinal disorders. The good news is that many of these common problems can be easily avoided. The human body was designed for movement, so to keep your spine at its best, we should stay active. In other words, a healthier spine means a healthier life!

Recipe of the Week

METHOD Step 1: Lightly grease a 10 x 20cm loaf pan. Place the plain flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Make a well in the centre and add the water to the dry ingredients. The water needs to be lukewarm to activate the yeast and encourage it to grow. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast. To test whether it is at the right temperature, sprinkle a little on the inside of your wrist - it shouldn't be too cold or too hot. Step 2: Use a wooden spoon to combine and then use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl. Step 3: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Step 5: Place the dough into the bowl and turn it over and lightly coat the dough surface with the butter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and then place it in a warm, draught-free place to allow the dough to rise. The ideal temperature for rising bread dough is around 30°C. Step 6: Leave the dough until it is double its size. This quantity of bread dough should take between 45-75 minutes t double in size. When the dough is ready, it will retaining a finger imprint when lightly pressed. Punch it down in the centre with your fist. This step, known as "punching" or "knocking" down the dough, to release carbon dioxide produced by the yeast during rising so the final bread won't have a "yeasty" flavour. Step 7: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead again for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and elastic and returned to its original size. Preheat oven to 200°C. Step 8: Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape each into a smooth round. Place the portions of dough side by side in the greased loaf pan. Brush lightly with the melted butter. Stand the pan in a warm, draught-free place, for about 30 minutes or until the dough has risen about 1cm about the top of the pan. Step 9: Gently brush the loaf with a little water and then sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through. The best way to tell when the loaf of bread is cooked is to tap it on the base with your knuckle - if it sounds hollow, it is cooked. Step 10: Turn the loaf immediately onto a wire rack and allow to cool. Once cool, store the loaf in a well-ventilated place at room temperature. This bread is best eaten on the day it is made.
