The Lilydale Progressive - August 2012

aristocracy are said to be blue bloods, when a sample was extracted from this

woman it turned out to be bright green,

really quite odd.

Towards the conclusion of the games it

was thought that one female competitor

must have been a superwoman, she had competed in every different sports

discipline and won three medals. Doubts were cast on her superior stamina and

she was suspected of cheating. The drug

tester gave her a specimen bottle and asked her to produce a sample. When

the bottle was opened for testing it had a

very strong apple smell. Eventually it was found to be negative and the

competitor was declared drug free and allowed to keep her hard won medals.

During a men’s only event one

competitor must have been feeling slightly mentally challenged, instead of

going over the hurdles he went under them thus creating confusion and the

need to rerun the race. This

subsequently resulted in a tie for first place so two medals were awarded for

this event.

After the last medal had been presented at the conclusion of the final event the

games were declared closed for another year. Contestants and spectators were

then invited to adjourn to the catering

tent. While they were served a delicious lunch of soup, sandwiches and slices the

raffle was drawn. Winners were

Dorothy Lord of Swansea, Doreen Sims of Lilydale, Bev Cleaver of Aldersgate

Village and Bill Perkins of Ravenswood. The general consensus of all present was

that the 2012 ’Limpic Games had been

good fun.

When the guests had departed the

cleaning crew moved in and with all

hands on deck the venue was soon spick and span once again. Tired officials went

home very pleased knowing that the 2012 Lilydale ‘Limpics Games had been

successfully staged.

Lilydale ‘Limpic Games 2012

Just after 10 am on Thursday July 12,

approximately 35 to 40 competitors and spectators began arriving at ‘Limpic

Stadium Lilydale (Senior Citizen’s rooms). Guests from as far away as Swansea,

Deloraine, Selbourne, Riverside,

Winnaleah, Bridport and Launceston joined a handful of locals for a fun day

out. The day was fine but cool and the

decision was made to hold the event undercover so everyone moved indoors

where they were greeted by members of the organising committee(Lilydale CWA).

Arriving slightly late, just after 10.35 am

the exhausted marathon runner, having run the last leg of the Torch Relay from

Rocherlea, limped into the arena and

handed the ‘Limpic Torch to a waiting spectator. The Torch was passed round

the ground by all those present and finally ended in the hands of Alderman

Annette Waddle.

Deputising for His Worship the Mayor who was attending a Local Government

conference, Alderman Waddle proudly

held the Torch high, made a short speech alluding to the ’Limpic ideals of good

sportsmanship and fair play and declared the 2012 Games open.

‘Limpics President Margaret Hanstein

invited all to participate in some gentle warm up exercises before the first event.

Two equestrian races were followed by

two heats each of weight lifting, swimming, hurdling and shot putt. The

events attracted a great deal of cheering from spectators, unfortunately the

occasional boo was also heard.

Medals were awarded to the winners between each heat. After the second

heat of the swimming was completed one

competitor seemed a little dazed so a random drug test was conducted. The

lady in question was declared to be drug free however a surprising anomaly was

found. While the majority of us have red

blood running through our veins and the

Finally, I realise that I will be open to criticism, but I do

know that I have a lot of support as this has been the

case from the many discussions I have had on this

topic.

A $7,000,000 water project for 160 households is in

my mind an incredible waste in these tough economic

times and it will result in increased costs for all

consumers. Surely our current water system can provide clean potable water at a much lower cost.

Ben Lomond Water say not, but could not produce a

costing figure or evidence at the recent information

meeting at Lilydale.

Regards,

Tom Dancer

Business and residential property owner in the Lilydale

Water District.

Lilydale and District Progress

Association Inc. - News.

July's Progress meeting included a summary of the BLW

public meeting on the 14th June. At that meeting BLW

did allow for public comment. It was called primarily as a result of public objections to the proposed reservoir

- Inevitably though the subject of the project as a whole

was raised. It appeared to me that BLW did not cost

the local supply option and so could not produce

figures. The Chairman Mr Miles Hampton made several promises to those present and the LDPA Inc.

transcribed those verbal statements and followed up

with written confirmations. Those include promises of

a further Public Meeting to make announcements and show figures.

The reservoir issue has been a major factor in bringing

BLW to the table with regard to the general Australian

Standards water supply options for Lilydale.

Thank you to those who took the time to meet with Andrew Pitt to consult on the location for Ben

Lomond Water's proposed reservoir at Lilydale. He

was engaged as an independent by BLW to consult with

the community on the location of the reservoir.

August 7th 7pm at the Old Court House:

Notice

The AGM of the Lilydale District Progress Association

Inc. will be held on Tuesday September 4th 2012. 7:30 pm in the Supper Room at the Memorial Hall.

Membership is open to the Lilydale community and is

$2 payable on the night or at the post office.

Letter to the community,

I am writing with regards to Lilydale water, I do not

pretend that everyone will agree with my thoughts but

I believe that there is some merit in what I will put

forward. Firstly it is important that I make a couple of points of importance. There are around 720 residences

& businesses in the Lilydale District (Post Codes 7267

& 7268) of these there are around 160 connected to

the current reticulated water system, this represents

78% of properties operating there own water supply systems.

Ben Lomond Water say that the Health Department is

instructing them to bring the Lilydale water supply up

to the required Australian standard.

I know of no standards for individual domestic water systems. I would imagine that some of them would well

below the required water standard that Lilydale will

have to comply to, due to source of water, older

storage tanks, pipelines, etc. This could open up conjecture, but you cannot deny it is a fact.

I, like the majority of Lilydale residents would like clean

potable water. No argument.

Mount Arthur supplies our township with what I

believe is pristine water at its source, the poor quality originates between the source to the storage in the

reservoirs.

Ben Lomond Water want to spend $7,000,000

(upwards of $40,000 for each current connection) to bring chemically treated water to Lilydale via a pipeline

from Mount Direction some 20 plus kilometres away.

It seems to me that an upgrade to our local system

would be a lot more cost effective (I have no hard

evidence at this stage, but this is being thoroughly investigated) and keeping in mind if the current local

system is decommissioned the waters from Mount

Arthur will become a waste. Also what will it do to

the current water flows in McGowans and Rocky

Creeks if this system is no longer used?

Part of the original pipeline (from Mount Direction)

costings by BLW would have taken into account that

they would have a further 100 plus properties to be

able to draw service and usage fees from. This is no longer the case as they have advised that people along

the pipeline route that they can opt out from

connecting and that includes not paying a service fee.

Is this fair, I can opt out from using BLW water but I

would still have to pay the service fee because their water passes my properties.

The current land zonings restrict the District for

development therefore the Lilydale township area is

unlikely to grow at any great rate. If major residential developments were planned or taking place at Lilydale I

could understand why BLW would need to consider

options.

I remember from school how a senior teacher made a

student who was running down the corridor turn

round and walk back - walk back and do it right. It was

often heard bouncing off the walls “Don’t run along the corridor”. The little chap was humiliated but he

complied. When children are told “Don’t run along the

corridor”, they understand as it as “Run along the

corridor” to the chagrin of their parents or teachers.

So what is the solution? Use positive language patterns

that state clearly what you are asking for.

Instead of “Don’t run” say “Walk”.

In my role as secretary of the Progress Association one

of my tasks has been to ask the LCC and BLW to 'consult'. It was great to see the process in action on

the issue of the reservoir location. In my view it would

be even better if the whole wider project restarted and

was undertaken with a due respect for community consultation.

Be happy.

Next meeting August 7th 7:30 pm Old Court House.

Neighbourhood Watch

Our June Meeting was held Thursday 14th June at the Fire Station, with 14 people

attending including our Guest speakers Jeff and Doreen

Sims and Constable Terry Otis

Jeff and Doreen, recently travelled to Vietnam and they both spoke to the meeting about their trip and showed

photos of the places they visited. There are certainly

many beautiful places and attractions to be seen in

Vietnam.

Everybody associated with Lilydale Neighbourhood Watch, would like to thank Doreen and Jeff for sharing

their wonderful trip with us, and we are pleased to

have you back.

Police Report

Terry Otis was able to attend the meeting, for which we are all very grateful.

In the Afternoon of 2nd July approx. 3pm a Green

4WD vehicle was stolen from a front paddock at

Powers Road. This vehicle has a Bull Bar and Winch and 33” Mud Tyres along with other 4WD accessories.

Lilydale Police are investigating.

On the evening of the 10th July an orange trailer was

stolen from Lebrina and later found abandoned in

Waddles Road at Karoola. Lilydale Police are investigating.

Anybody who can assist the Police with enquiries on

any of the above incidents are urged to contact Lilydale

Police on 63952050 or CRIME STOPPERS on 1800 333 000

Important Message from Northern Community Policing

Services.

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 and workshops 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, Workshops should be locked at all

times when not in use.

Stolen items of property are usually sold at a very cheap price. If the price of your new chainsaw is too

good, then the chances are it is stolen. If you suspect

this is the case, contact Launceston CIB for advice on

131444. Did you know, that if you purchase items you

suspect or know are stolen, then you may well be committing a crime yourself?

If you see or hear something suspicious call Police on

131444 and report it.

REMEMBER YOU ARE OUR EYES AND EARS.

Next Meeting

The next meeting of the Lilydale Neighbourhood

Watch will be held 09th August 2012 at 7.30pm at the

Fire Station. This meeting is our A.G.M.

Remember everyone is welcome to attend. Hope to see you there.

Lilydale Senior Citizens

Our carnival is coming around so quickly, we have been

lucky to get 24 teams for it.

On a sadder note we have lost one of our life

membership ladies from the Units, she has moved to Devonport to live so she can be closer to her family,

we all wish Kath good health and a happy time in her

new home.

Our AGM will be held on August 14th in the

clubrooms at 1.30pm, everybody is welcome.

Our rooms were hired out in July to the CWA for an

Olympic Games afternoon. Quite a good crowd and

fun was had by all.

Good bowling until next month.

Lilydale Lions

Due to lack of a suitable venue it has been a few years since Lilydale Lions have actually

held a Change-over Dinner in Lilydale. We have been

combining with Bridport on the first Saturday in July at

their venue. This year we again combined with Bridport

for the dinner but this year it was held at the Lilydale Bowls Club in Charob Avenue Lilydale.

We were also joined by guests from various places

including some of our very loyal supporters from

Lilydale.

From all reports received everyone had a good time,

the evening went off very smoothly, and the meal was

excellent.

The official part of the evening was a credit to our very

own Amanda Olson who handled the installation of

Office Bearers for the next 12 months, well done

Amanda.

Lilydale Lions look forward to the next year and

beyond being a part of the community and lending a hand whenever possible.

Don’t forget that the ever popular bags of manure are

always available, phone Steve on 6395 1323 with your

order and remember we may be able to deliver it straight to your door

Upper Piper Art and Craft

Co op

The Winter Solstice has come and gone and thankfully our daylight hours will slowly increase.

However, as Jayne wrote in her editorial last month,

winter is the perfect time to be creative indoors

especially involving arts and crafts.

It’s time to brush away the cobwebs, come to the Co

op to see some demonstrations of various arts and

crafts, get some new ideas or maybe new techniques.

On Sunday 26th August from 10.30 to 3.30pm various

art and crafts will be demonstrated in the old court room of the Court House, just across the corridor

from the Co op. See details on the notice board

outside the Co op of what techniques and times they

will be on, this will be available in the next couple of

weeks. Demonstrations could include but not exclusively card making, spinning, Vignettes, foundation

piecing and Trapunto.

Come down to the Co op have a cuppa and light

refreshments, then spend some time looking at the demonstrations and the new stock we have in the Co

op. Lilydale and the North East really have many

talented Artists and Craftspeople.

Lebrina Progress Association Update

The Winter Solstice – Feast of the Senses was a great

success once again. Many braved the cold night to

come along and enjoy the longest night of the year. Many thanks to our fantastic MC, Mr Patrick Scott,

who kept us highly entertained throughout the evening.

The proceeds from the night totalled just over $2000

and will be used in coming months for upgrades to the Hall. Any suggestions for next year’s Winter Solstice

would be welcomed. We are planning to hold the

event on Saturday 22nd June next year (to ensure we

don’t clash with the Lantern Walk).

Next meeting of the Lebrina Progress Association is on Tuesday 31st July at 8pm at the Lebrina Hall. All

welcome.

Lilydale Landcare

Lilydale Landcarers have been very busy this past month with a tree planting day for NATIONAL TREE

DAY and a Movie screening of “THE VANISHING OF

THE BEES”. This movie points out what a devastating

effect this phenomenon could have on the future of our food industry if this problem is not addressed. As much

as 30% of our food crops rely on the humble honey

bee for pollination and our native plant species are un-

der threat as well. Until now Tasmania has been spared

the impact of this, but with the Varoa Mite also threatening our shores, we are uniquely placed to build

up our colonies and safeguard the future of our food

and cropping industries. To this end Lilydale Landcare

has a “PLAN BEE”.

If you would like to help or find out more information, please contact Laura Wordsworth, 63951280 or Greg

Duke 0407882595.

You are reminded that new members, of all ages are

always welcome and Membership costs only $5.00. Phone Nick, 63951280 or Mike Arms on 63951130.

Lilydale Online Access Centre

Last month I found some interesting craft websites this

month I thought we’d find some interesting sites for

the men in our lives.

Sites for the Guys:

Make Use Of: www.makeuseof.com - A daily blog

that features cool websites, computer tips, and

downloads that make you more productive. The aim of

MakeUseOf is to guide you through the web and tell

you about hot websites that you have never heard of, best software programs, and all kinds of “how to” tips

for Windows, Mac and Linux computer users.

Uncrate: http://uncrate.com/ Described as a digital

magazine for guys who love stuff! From the Jetovator

to the Hyundai Zombie Survival Machine, there are some truly interesting things on this site.

Wired: www.wired.com - A little bit of geekiness is

almost essential for today’s man. Wired is the place for

you if you want to be on the cutting edge of technology. Wired is neatly organised into sections,

each specific to a certain mainstream geek culture. For

instance, you can head to the GeekDad whose blog is

about parenting while surrounded by technology. It was

ranked a couple of years back as one of the top 25 blogs by Time.

Wonder How To: http://www.wonderhowto.com/ -

another site for the guys, find out how to make a

vertical wall mounted chessboard or gadgets from the latest Batman movie even how to create your own Big

Mac.

Brotips: www.brotips.com - Some funny, biased,

useful? Tips by guys for guys. (Not recommended for

the politically correct or easily offended, but some of the tips made me laugh ;-)

And here are a couple that might be of interest

to everyone:

Symbaloo: www.symbaloo.com - Ever been on

holidays and tried to remember one of your favourite websites to show to friends and family? Symbaloo gives

you a nicely designed and easy to use start page for the

web. It’s like a favourites bar on your browser but

nicer. It holds your favourite sites as well as a number of useful web tools, and the best part is if you have

access to the internet you have access to your sites.

Attack of the cute: http://attackofthecute.com - A

social networking site where people post pictures of

their pets and other animals. Very cute!

Pinterest: http://pinterest.com Pinterest lets you

organize and share all the beautiful things you find on

the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings,

decorate their homes, and organize their favourite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created

by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to

Amazing Household Tips

1. Tighten your hammer handle: Soak in used

engine oil for a day.

2. Open that stuck zip: Spray the stuck zip with

shaving foam.

3. Easily untie a knot in a chain: cover the knot

generously with cold cream.

4. When your pet has no appetite: Try a saucer of

beer. It's known to perk up the appetite.

5. Simple eye glass cleaner: Vinegar diluted in water makes fine eyeglass cleaner.

6. Remove ink stains from carpet: Apply a paste of

A message to parents from the

Australian Council of State School

Organisations Inc.

In February, the findings of the Gonski

review were handed to the Federal

Government. This review was the most comprehensive investigation of school

funding our nation has conducted in almost

40 years. The findings clearly revealed that, as a nation, Australia invests far too little in

our schools, particularly our public schools; the current funding model is not transparent

and it is in great need of repair. We urgently need a new funding model if all young people

are to receive the high quality of education

they deserve.

We are asking you to please support this

campaign. You can register your support at

the campaign website igiveagsonski.com.au

We would also encourage you to contact your federal MP directly. Send them an email,

text or put a message on their Facebook page.

Flu or Cold?

A cold tends to have significant head symptoms like

sore throat, blocked nose and sinus congestion. Fever,

headaches and muscle pains are mild. Cough and chest

discomfort are usually mild to moderate.

Flu tends to hit suddenly with significant fever, chills,

muscle pains and exhaustion for a few days. Cough and

chest discomfort can be severe, with bronchitis or

pneumonia. Head symptoms like sore throat and

blocked nose are uncommon. The illness may last for 10 days or longer.

Viruses cause colds and flus, so antibiotics are not

effective. However, there is a treatment for flu

(Tamiflu) which can reduce the severity and duration of

the flu. It must be started within 1 or 2 days of flu symptoms and costs about $50. Other treatment for

colds and flu is symptomatic only - but at least you can

feel better while you are recovering. It usually takes 7

to 10 days to recover, so if you aren’t better after this time – or start to feel ill again, then you may have

caught a secondary infection. These are often bacterial

and can be treated with antibiotics from your doctor.

Conditions like asthma or diabetes are often made

worse by colds. Some serious illnesses can resemble colds or flu, so see your doctor if you have fevers over

38.5, noisy or fast breathing, neck stiffness, light hurting

the eyes, skin rash, chest pain or persistent cough.

Viruses are spread by touching hands or objects (eg tissues, toys) or by breathing droplets from sneezes or

coughs. To help prevent the spread of colds and flus,

cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing (use

your elbow not your hand). Wash your hands regularly

with soap and water, or antibacterial hand gel, before handling food and after blowing your nose. Use tissues

to blow your nose then throw them away.
