Inside this issue: advertise in every issue of the Progressive.

This brings us to the crucial point.

We are rapidly reaching the point where the amount of money we receive from our advertisers is not enough to cover the cost of producing the Progressive. You may not realise that each edition costs over $500 just for the printing! This means every single Progressive costs around 67 cents to produce. Donation jars have always been available for people to make a small contribution towards this cost.

So if you’ve enjoyed the Progressive and found it useful over the years, how about dropping a small coin in the collection tin to help us continue to provide this service to the people of our District. Collection tins will be available wherever you see copies of the Progressive. If you get your Progressive by mail, how about dropping a coin in the tins at Caltex, Bardenhagen’s Supermarket, Bardenhagen’s Hardware or the Lilydale Pharmacy the next time you’re in town. With your help the Progressive can continue to keep you informed about our area.

It would certainly be a tragedy if the Progressive was no more! Enough Doom and Gloom for now, I noticed our fire fighters were hard at work this week trying to control a blaze on Second River Rd. Onya guys (& girls).

NOTE: To all those who contribute articles to the Progressive, thank you for your contributions over the years however, can I ask that you keep your articles to a maximum of 200 words. Whilst we all enjoy reading about the various community groups, we do have a limited amount of space and a quite a number of local groups to cover.

Is this the end of an era? Did you know the Progressive is in it’s 23rd year of publication? Not bad for a small local newsletter with a print run of 750 copies. That means over the years there have been something like 230 monthly editions with production of around 172,000 copies. Each edition contains about 16 A4 pages of information, that’s 2,760,000 pages! That’s a lot of words!

It’s also an incredible amount of time, energy, and of course that never-ending concern MONEY! Thanks must be given to all the local businesses that have supported us over the years . Particularly the ones who have been there year in year out paying for the advertising that is the lifeblood of the Progressive. Their financial support has enabled you, the readers of this long-running Lilydale tradition, to benefit from local news and updates from the many community groups that service this area.

The Progressive has always been supplied to the people of our district free of charge. For the past 23 years you’ve laughed, you’ve cried, you’ve been kept up to date. If you’re a member of one of the local community groups you’ve been able to let others know how you’re group is going, what the last footy scores were, advertise your fund raisers at no cost.

Up until recently the advertising found within the pages of the Progressive has covered the cost of producing each issue. We all know that times are tough for small businesses, we see more and more each week close their doors for good (just take a walk around Launceston to see what I mean), and who can blame them if some of them feel they can no longer afford to

Progress Association

Over the last few months the progressive newsletter produced by the Progress Association has only just covered the cost of production, this is a position, which the Association is having a problem with. We do need more advertising to help cover rising costs, so we can keep the community newsletter going for another 23 years. Please contact the editor if you want to put in an advertisement.

This report I write each month for the Association, is to inform the community what the Association has been doing, but I get little or no response, do you read the report and are you happy with what the Progress Association is doing? Let me know!

Lions Club of Lilydale

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I note with interest Graeme Arnold's views in the Progress Association Report (Dec. issue) regarding the Lilydale water.

Like Graeme I also have concerns about the health of the Lilydale Community. My concerns, however, may be different.

It is noteworthy that increasing numbers of people living in First-world countries are avoiding or minimising the ingestion of chemically-treated water. Their belief (and there is evidence to support them) that the various additives used to "improve" the water actually pose a significant health risk to the consumer.

Despite the addition of chemicals to disinfect city water-supply, out-breaks of gastroenteritis can, and do, still occur. (I recall reading about a wide-spread incident in Sydney some years ago.)

Did readers know that some Launceston residents collect and transport Lilydale water to use for cooking and hot drinks (in preference to the town supply) for the benefit of their health? Increasing numbers of concerned individuals, for health’s sake, gladly purchase bottled water, whilst others pay for the delivery of natural spring waters or pure forest waters in preference to town-supply water.

I, personally, prefer to take responsibility for my own health and believe my family can have confidence that my commitment to their health and well-being is not compromised by business interests or pressure from industry. Yours faithfully, Darian Davis-Alford.

Day Care Centre News.

The weather this month has been a little dry with little rain falling and the temperatures have fluctuated from being hot some days with mostly cool to cold mornings sometimes with frosts.

Flowers and vegetables have grown very fast this year and in many cases larger than they normally do, although some vegetable are later than is usual.

At the Daycare we are busy planning a few trips while the weather is favourable for us to do so. As far as craft work is concerned, many more teddies are being knitted for the Red Cross, which distributes them to underprivileged children in third world countries and ambulances, or wherever there is a need. At the Daycare we enjoy any form of musical entertainment that comes our way including community singing. At the Daycare as each birthday comes around we share a cake among us and the person celebrating looks forward into the unknown perhaps in some cases with trepidation, but if we put our trust in the Lord above, we have nothing to fear. Our special thanks goes out to Mrs. Maree Cole and Mrs. Elaine Prewer who entertained us with the playing of the flute and piano. We were joined by several of the ladies from the Retirement Units. The musical recital was greatly enjoyed by all those present.. Maree is a music teacher at the Lilydale School and her husband is the Minister of the Uniting Church.

Village Green Report

The toilet block is nearing completion and we would like to remind members of the community that Peter Grimditch (French Electrical) and Simon Lockett (Rocky Creek Plumber) have both carried out many hours of work on this structure without re-numeration. All that we have had to do is to pay for the materials. Without their generosity, we would not have had sufficient funds, and completion of the project would have most likely had to be delayed for some months.

Special thanks must also go to John Lack, Julie and Alex Livingstone and Bryan Saddington who assisted with the painting of the outside of the building. There is still a little bit left to be done on the outside and as soon as the plumbing and lining have been completed, painters will again be required to finish the doors and the interior. If you would like to help, please give Strom Charlton a ring on 63951263.

It should not be too long before we commence work on the shelter. Plans are now being drawn up and materials are being sourced. This project will require community assistance if we are to complete it within the grant of $6,000 we received from the Tasmanian Community Fund. Keep an eye on the notice board on the site for upcoming working bees etc. Not only will your help be appreciated, but you will also have the opportunity of saying you were part of the project.

As pointed out in last month’s Progressive, we will shortly be launching a fundraising project. We will a dvise you of details as they are finalised. In the meantime, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the Lilydale RSL Club for their kind donation of $250.

Lilydale Football Club

While the wheels have been in motion for several months, things are starting to fall into place, the roster has been drawn up and is currently at the Printers.

The NEFU Meeting on the 18th March, is expected to adopt the AFL Auskick/Aussie Football concept for the Under 10’s and Under 13’s, the idea is 5 to 10 year olds will be Auskick with the older children being Aussie footy. The program is flexible with allowance for experience and ability in the age groupings, also the basic 20 week program can be stretched to 19/20 weeks to coincide with the roster season. Our advantage is that matches against other Clubs are built into our system, the boys and girls getting match experience as well as training sessions.

Auskick does have a cost, there is an Auskick kit for $25, the retail value of which is estimated at over $40. The profit from this kit goes to our Football Development Friends to help cover their administration costs. None of this money goes to the Lilydale club or the NEFU. The Lilydale Football Club policy is NOT to have subscription or membership fees for junior players.

The Auskick/Aussie Footy program gives a uniform training program for all Australia, Lilydale has drawn a bye first up on the 13th April, we see this as an opportunity to combine the Auskick/Aussie Footy registration day with our annual legends day. With out first game being at home against Branxholm the following week, it will be a chance to try everything out and make sure it is working properly.


It is also planned to hold a short parents/supporters meeting on this day, one problem is that people avoid Annual General Meetings like the plague, the President reports on the years activities and the only people in attendance know it all anyway. More importantly the Club can report on plans for the coming season to the people concerned.

The first bit of good news for 2002 is that public liability premiums will be staying about the same as previous years. The main reason is that football is not a “one off” event and costs can be averaged over the whole sporting season.

Training: NEW FACES WELCOME The numbers attending training for the seniors and reserves have been poor so far, with the majority being former Under 16’s players, this in itself is a good sign, but the club needs older and more experienced players to back them up. The need to chase up players each year is frustrating and time consuming, what is one phone call to an individual can be 50 or more for Coaches and Club Officials. Courtesy call to Paul Strang (63 82 1895) Senior Coach; Bruce Lockhart (63 95 4417) Reserves Coach; or David Walsh (63 95 4299) will be greatly appreciated.

The Under 16’s started training on the 21st February, but the Under 13’s and Under 10’s do not start until there 14th March, there will be several low key training sessions for them before the official launch in April.

Did You Know:

In Great Britain, housewives bake hot cross buns on each Friday during Lent. The English like to buy new clothes for Easter Sunday. In early days, boys and girls formed a circle around the local church with their backs to it.

In Ireland, people dance on Easter day to win prize cakes. They eat eggs at dawn on Easter to break the long fast of Lent.

In Italy, a priest blesses the Easter eggs before the holiday. Housewives place the eggs at the centre of the Easter table and arrange other food around them.

About Mt Arthur

We are celebrating the International Year of the Mountain and our beautiful Mountain is still waiting for justice to be done.

The 26th February 2002 marks the anniversary of the awareness of contentious forestry issues on Mt Arthur.

The MAEMG (Mt. Arthur Environment Management Group) has entered into a consultation process with Forestry Tasmania about the future of Coupe LI 126C and its surrounding areas on the mountain. There have been promises that the reserve that existed prior to the Regional Forests Agreement will be reinstated and the area west of Doaks Road will be regenerated into native forest. This part of the coupe was appreciated by the community as a significant temperate rain forest and habitat reserve for the threatened Mt Arthur Burrowing Crayfish. Negotiations are ongoing. This is part of a BBC documentary to be screened in early April.The group is hopeful of a positive outcome for the area. Anyone who would like to join and support is welcome. Thank you to all who have given us their moral and financial support throughout the year.

Wine Raffle The Group has organised a wine raffle with the strong s uppor t o f 45 Ta sman i an V i ney a rd s . The winner of 120 bottles of premium Tasmanian wines will be announced in the next Lilydale Progressive.

Open Day We would like to invite the community to come to the area via Doaks Rd (2 wheel drive access) to inspect the proposed rehabilitation plans, make suggestions and participate in the process. Monday, 11th March, 11.30 am. Meet at the corner of Main and Doaks Roads. Bring some lunch and walking shoes. Please contact Simon on 63951420 or Feli on 63951420 for further information

If you are a dry eye sufferer, then you should consider the regular use of eye drops. However, not all eye drops are suitable for treating dry eye so check with your pharmacist about the most appropriate product. Tear replacement products such as Liquifilm Tears or Tears Plus can be used as often as necessary. For occasional use, when the eyes are red, moisturising drops with a decongestant (eg. Albalon or Murine) may be used. If you use contact lenses, only some drops are suitable (e.g. Poly-Tears and Tears Naturale)

Eye drops should be discarded one month after opening to prevent contamination; but if you need drops only now and again, products such as Refresh, which come as a box of single-use vials of artificial tears, are the ideal alternative. One vial is used when required and the remainder stored for later use. These drops contain no preservative, so they are also suitable for contact lens wearers.

HEALTH NOTES From the Lilydale Pharmacy

DRY EYES. We all recognise the problems associated with dry skin, but we probably don’t realise that “dry eye” is also a very common condition and a trigger for many eye complaints such as eye infections and allergy reactions.

Dry eye is sometimes just a natural part of growing older – it is most common in people over the age of 50, particularly in women after menopause. However, our lifestyle, occupation and surroundings can also cause dry eye. Not surprisingly, hot, dry, windy weather makes the eyes dry; but we don’t have to go outside to experience the problem. Air conditioning and heating in offices and homes will lead to dry eye as well. Long hours staring at TV, computer screens and books; and air pollutants such as cigarette smoke are other contributing factors.

Dry eye symptoms can include burning, itching, stinging, soreness, grittiness, sensitivity to light and the feeling that “there is something in the eye”.

Tears, which are part of the eye’s natural defence mechanism, are not just water. They are made up of several components which nourish and protect the eyes. So although the eyes become “watery” in association with a dry eye condition, this fluid may not provide sufficient lubrication or nourishment to the surface of the eye.

As well, some medicines have the potential to cause dry eye; such as some which are used to treat high blood pressure, anti-depressants, some anti-histamines and sedatives.

CWA Notes

Officially summer has gone, and while we wait for it to actually arrive the early mornings already have an autumnal tinge about them. Maybe autumn will be specially nice to compensate.

February meeting was held at the end of January, commencing with a talk fest in the morning, a chance to catch up on happenings over December and January. Another train tour will be through Lilydale on 6th March when CWA will provide lunch for 39 passengers. The tourists are mainly from West Australia and over Christmas we received a Christmas card from the daughter of one of the travellers asking would our Branch correspond with the Uloodanilling CWA. A letter has been sent, results awaited.

The Greater Northern group extends from Selbourne to Winnaleah, on 14th February the Choral and Drama section held a fundraising luncheon and concert in Launceston. What a wealth of talent in our group, we were entertained with solos, choral items from the 3 choirs, bell ringing, piano accordion recital and recitations. The handcraft and home industries section had a busy morning sewing, stuffing and completing breast cushions for mastectomy patients, each is given two cushions. A pile doesn’t last very long, unfortunately. Because of catering our original plans of a craft morning followed by lunch and meeting have been altered to preparation of lunch, waitressing, cleaning up and meeting 6 March. Roll call is knitted article for the Baby Box. Till next month, take care, by happy

Acute Diarrhea

There are of course many causes of diarrhea in dogs and cats but the question facing most pet owners when faced with this problem is “ is it serious?” Many factors have to be considered to answer this question.

How old is the animal? A kitten or puppy, especially if it is under 12 weeks of age does not have the physical resources to cope with the loss of fluid that diarrhea entails as an adult may. Old pets may have other underlying disease that may make loss of fluid more serious.

Is the animal vomiting as well? We are always more concerned about vomiting than diarrhea as apart from the loss of fluid it means the animal may have difficulty taking anything orally especially water making dehydration a risk.

How alert is the pet and is he keen to eat? Obviously if your pet is normal except for diarrhea then there is less cause for concern.

How long has the diarrhea been going on? A couple of days may be a long time for a puppy whereas an adult can go on longer. Most non-specific diarrheas clear up in a few days so if its not improving fairly soon get your pet looked at.

Has your pet had a change of diet or raided the garbage? If you know the cause of the diarrhea then you will have some idea as to whether you need to be concerned or not.

One cause of diarrhea in dogs that should always be remembered is Parvovirus. This is a cause of a severe haemorrhagic gastroenteritis which means the dog has vomiting and diarrhea usually with lots of blood in it. This can be rapidly fatal and is one disease that all dogs should be vaccinated against. Generally the dog is very depressed and dehydrates quickly. Keep your dog’s vaccinations up to date and you won’t have to worry too much about this nasty disease.

So if your pet’s diarrhea is in a young animal, the pet is off his food, there is much vomiting or it persists get him to your vet for treatment before he becomes too unwell.

Lilydale Girl Guides Lilydale Adventure Guides (6-10) It’s hard to believe that Guides have been going in Lilydale for over twenty years, and I’m sorry to say, as the number of girls attending Guides in the 6-10 Unit have dwindled away to just a few girls, that if the numbers DO NOT increase over the first term of this year that I will be forced to close down the Unit.

It’s so disappointing to see the Unit go from such a large group not so long ago, to just a handful. What happened to the days when children got together and had fun enjoying each others company, did activities and learnt to do new things and just enjoyed their time as children without being glued to the old box, computer or play station! I have been involved in Guides since my daughter joined in 1993 and have enjoyed it very much being a Guide Leader for the last four years. It has been great to see the girls go from little shy girls to confident teenagers. It is hoped that the girls leave Guides with the knowledge and ability to achieve in whatever they choose to do later on in their lives.

Many adults still today talk about when they went to Guides as a child, and say how much they enjoyed their experience and friendship with many other girls and adults.

Anyway, that’s about all I can say and hopefully this term more girls will think about joining Guides, because I will be disappointed if I have to close down the Unit.

If your daughter is aged between 6-10 years and would like to come to Guides or just visit to see what goes on, we meet after school on Mondays until 4.30 p.m., or for more information ring Kim Dolbey (Unit Leader) on 63 95 1435.

This Month’s Recipe Hot Cross Buns Ingredients:

1¼ cups of warm water ½ cup of soft brown sugar 4 teaspoons of dry active yeast 4 cups of flour 2 tablespoons of milk powder 2 teaspoons of mixed spice 1 teaspoon of cinnamon A pinch of ground cloves ½ cup of dried currants ½ cup of raisins ¼ cup of mixed peel 50 grams / 2 oz of butter 5 tablespoons of flour 1 tablespoon of water 1 egg

Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. 2. Add the warm water to a medium sized bowl

and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast granules over the top and put aside. Melt the butter and set aside.

3. In a large bowl or electric mixer sift the flour, milk powder and spices and then add the dried fruits.

4. When the yeast mix is frothy add to the flour and fruit and pour in the melted butter.

5. Mix to combine and knead by hand until smooth. Cover and set aside to double in size or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds on high (this is a shortcut method to activate the dough).

6. Cut and shape 15 buns and place in a warm greased baking tin.

This Months Gardening

tips:

One job for autumn is to cut back those apricot branches trying to reach for the skies. This is an op-portunity to force out new fruit-bearing growth for next year. The first job is to thin out the canopy and to lower it. Cut out the longest branches at the point from which they spring. The whippy new shoots all over the tree need cutting back by half, which can be done using long handled tree pruners. Cut away any half-dead twiggy bits.

When buying punnets of seedlings, it is a good idea to select those which are shorter and stockier looking, since they are far more likely to thrive than larger ones which flop over onto the ground when planted.

We are proud of our young Landcare members who continue to inspire us.

Natalie Rodriguez is just completing a 26 day ‘outward bound’ physical and psychological endurance challenge in Victoria while Janie Dickenson is now OUR MAYOR! Congratulations to both girls.

Landcare volunteers yet again cleaned up roadside litter on ‘Clean Up Australia Day’ Sunday March 3. An unpleasant task.

Thank you to Landcare volunteers who also helped with the ‘Roadside Ragwort Raid’ which was well or-ganised by Lilydale Fire Brigade Captain, Brian Cole-man. It was a shock to see the extensive expanse of the ‘yellow flower’. Maybe it is more visible from the ele-vated position in a fire truck. Thank you Lilydale Fire Brigade volunteers for tackling this Community prob-lem.

Anyone concerned about Ragwort may like to attend a Ragwort Rage to be hosted by the Lilydale Landcare Association Tuesday March 12th at the Mt Arthur Community Centre at 7.30pm. Come and enjoy the FREE SUPPER, hear about the Ragwort Flea Beetle and meet Lee Adamson, Coordinator Tamar Valley Weed Strategy.

Landcare volunteers are needed for a working bee at Merthyr Park on Saturday March 16th at 9.30 am. Please bring a shovel if possible and old newspapers. We plan to do some much needed mulching.

When thinking about Easter treats spare a thought for ‘The Bilby’s Lament’ by Frank Manthey

“I was born in a sunburnt country, In a time of long ago. Before rabbits, cats and foxes, I was free to come and go So come on all you Aussies, It makes darn good common sense”…. To support the Bilby at Easter and give the bunny the boot!

(Continued on next page) (Hot Cross Bun Method Continued)

7. Lightly beat the egg and thinly coat the tops of the buns with the egg wash using a pastry brush.

8. Place the buns in a warm place to continue rising for around 40 minutes.

9. Mix 5 tablespoons of flour with around one ta-blespoon of water to make a firm dough. Roll into thin strips and place across the buns to form the crosses.

10. Brush the strips with a little more egg wash. Bake for 20

Pass It On This is a great activity for a group of friends and family. You will need a hard-boiled egg for each person and a collection of coloured markers. The smaller tip permanent markers work best.

Everyone gather around the table. Each per-son takes an egg and draws hair on it. Then each one passes their egg to the person next to them. That person draws the eyebrows. Pass the eggs again and draw the eyes. Keep passing and drawing until all the parts of the face are done. You can include cheeks, nose, mouth, ears, and special features like freckles and moles. Then everyone can admire the results! If you think you can't draw well enough to do this, just get the Sunday comics out to use as inspiration.

Egg Roll: Here is an Easter game the kids will love. Mark off a start and stop point anywhere from 2-3 metres apart. Using a hard boiled egg (can be decorated or plain) have the kids down on hands and knees. Roll the egg across the floor using only their noses. The first one to the finish line without touching the egg with their hands is the grand champion nose roller.

What matters most? Take this quick quiz and find out 1. Name the 5 most wealthy people in the world. 2. Name the last 5 Melbourne Cup winners. 3. Name the last 5 winners of the Miss World contest. 4. Name 10 people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize. 5. Name the last 6 Academy Award winners for best actor. 6. Name the last 10 winners of the AFL Grand Final. HOW DID YOU DO? Most of us don't remember the headlines of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one... 1. Name a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 2. Name 3 friends that helped you through difficult times. 3. Name 5 people who have taught you something worthwhile. 4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. 5. Think of 5 people you enjoy spending time with. 6. Name 6 heroes who stories have inspired you. Easier?

The lesson? The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.

They are the ones that care about you.
