The Lilydale Progressive - March 2013

mean really, how much effort does that

require.

The toy was a gift to my Mum many years ago and is very lifelike in

appearance, it’s even fooled some of our

guests into thinking there was a live cat

on the bed on occasion, in fact I think Coralee actually thought Butthead had

managed to drag a live cat out of the

house!

Let’s face it if he’d managed to catch our

cat Moxie (the Small Evil One, as I like to think of her) he would definitely

NOT have been smiling, he’d have been

spitting out his teeth and bleeding from

the multitude of puncture wounds and disembowelling back leg scratches she

would have inflicted within the first 5

seconds. (Moxie may be small but she’s

mean, deadly and has a pyscho-like

personality as both Bryan and I can attest.) Coralee screamed at Butthead

to drop it (which quite unbelievably he

did) and I just burst out laughing, I

couldn’t help myself it was just one of those ridiculously funny occasions, the

ones you get to tell over and over when

other people start talking about their

animals, home life, kids etc, etc, etc. It

was also a cathartic stress reliever as all really good belly laughs are.

I hope everybody bought up big at the

Footy Club Auction last weekend, let’s

face it, it’s a great way to get rid of all

the junk in your sheds, to make way for all the new junk you buy! (Been there,

done that, got the scars to prove it!)

It’s going to be a huge month in Lilydale

with the Lilydale Festival of Wood on the weekend of March 16 & 17th, the

Pony Club Open day also on the 17th

and the Teddy Bear’s Picnic on the 24th,

along with our regular Village and

Producer’s Markets so make sure you check out the schedule inside and get to

as many of the planned

events as you can.

Editorial

You know when you have one of those

days when you just can’t stop being silly?

Well it happened to me, again, not so long ago. There we were some friends

and I, enjoying afternoon tea on the

deck, homemade waffles with fresh

blueberries and icecream. A gentle breeze was alleviating the all pervasive

heat, the birds were singing, the soft

tinkling of water from the fountain in the

pond was balm to our ears, when all of a

sudden the peace was shattered by the crashing of… The Cat Burglar!!!

Our home had been invaded, the

sanctity of our possessions violated, and

there right in front of us was the nefarious culprit, his guilt plain for all to

see. Standing about 50 cm tall, his four

feet planted in the soil ready for instant

flight, the Ginger Ninja had struck again,

but this time it was one of MY stuffed animals who stood on the threshold of

instant annihilation from his deadly

clutches.

The Ginger Ninja has many aliases,

Buddy, Butthead and many others not mentionable in polite society, is a staffy

cross one dog demolition derby. His

sole purpose in life is to destroy as many

soft fluffy toys as possible. No he is not my dog, although I sometimes think he

thinks he belongs to Bryan as they are

inordinately fond of each other, he was

simply a visitor on this occasion. A

visitor who thinks nothing of poking around in our guest bedroom and

stealing, yes you guessed it, the fluffy

Persian cat toy that was sitting on the

spare bed!

There he stood with the fluff spreading

out of his mouth, teeth clamped around

the belly of the beast, and a grin the size

of the Gibson dessert plastered on his

soppy face. So proud of his ability to catch and subdue a stationary object, I

Lilydale District Pony Club

We are having an Open Day

When: St Patricks Day,

Sunday 17th March 2013

Where: Karoola Recreation Grounds on Pipers River Road,

Club’s home base

Time: 10am until 3pm

If you live in the Lilydale, Hillwood, Pipers River or

Georgetown area, are into horses or ponies and are curious about Pony Club, this is your chance to see

what it’s all about.

All about the day

A delicious morning tea and a free sausage sizzle will be

provided as well as amazing “lucky gate prizes” including a luxurious night’s accommodation at The

Trig and fantastic Leaning Church wines, kindly donated

by The Trig on Mount Arthur and the Lilydale Larder.

The Open Day is our standard Club Rally day. Rallies are the core component of the Club’s activities, with

10 of them run over the year. Instruction at rallies

covers horsemanship, dressage, jumping, games and

more. Rallies are safe and fun; an exciting experience

for you and your mount!

April 28 Rally - Warwick Morgan Equine Dentistry &

“Too Tough to lose”.

More fantastic things are planned for our April Rally on

the 28th April with Warwick Morgan giving a lunch time presentation on equine dentistry – an important

topic for all horse and pony owners.

He will also talk about the incredible biography he

wrote about his father, Laurie Morgan called “Too

Tough to Lose”. It is an inspiring and insightful account of a truly great equestrian life. Laurie was the first

Australian to win an individual Olympic gold as an

equestrian and the first ever rider to finish the three

day event with a plus score in the history of the

Olympic Games. He played a pivotal, if not the leading role in the Australian Equestrian team’s brilliant

performance at the Rome Olympics: Australia won two

gold medals and a silver.

State Eventing Trials

On the weekend of the 10th - 12th March the State

Eventing Trials are being held in Wynyard. We are

excited to announce that Tia Adams, Lisa Van Riel and

Zoe Willis are competing and representing our club at

this high level event. We wish them all the best.

Lilydale Neighbourhood Watch

Serving residents of Lilydale since 1992.

February 2013 Meeting

Eleven people attended this meeting, unfortunately no

police were available to attend the meeting and no Crime was reported.

Thieves target outdoor equipment

While the majority of people are conscious of locking

up their homes, many are still not securing their

trailers, caravans, boats and leaving other valuable property on display and insecure in their front yards.

Thieves specifically target trailers, boats on trailers and

boating equipment. You can secure your trailer by

using trailer and tow bar locks, for under $60, available

from car accessory outlets. People are also leaving Motor Vehicles unlocked sometimes with doors left

open in full view of the street, this is an open invitation

to any would be thief.

Stolen items of property are usually sold at an unusually cheap price. If the price is too good to be true, then

the chances are it is stolen. If you suspect this is the

case, contact Launceston CIB for advice on 131 444 or

contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Did you

know, that if you purchase items you suspect or know are stolen, you are committing a crime?

Launceston Police would like to thank residents for

being vigilant over the holiday period and reporting

suspicious activity and unsafe acts of driving.

Police are still targeting the use of unregistered trail

bikes on public reserves and roads.

Any information leading to the identification of riders is

being sought by police, and should be forwarded to

Crime Stoppers, or by phoning 131444.

Police would like to remind members of the public to

report any suspicious behaviour to Bush Watch on

1800 333 000 or to Police on 131444. If the matter is

urgent, and requires immediate assistance, Triple 000

should be used.

Next Meeting

The next meeting of the Lilydale Neighbourhood

Watch will be held at the Fire Station on 14th March

2013 commencing at 8pm.

We are always looking for new members so if you have

an hour or so to spare once a month, why not come

along to our meetings.

Remember everyone is welcome to attend.

Truisms If you look like your passport picture, you probably

need the trip.

It's amazing how nice people are to you when they

know you're going away.

Country Women’s Assoc.

Lilydale

Our first meeting of the year was held on 6 February. It was great to catch up with everyone’s

news. We also welcomed 2 visitors, who were keen to

find out more about our organisation. We had a

shared lunch together.

With the New Year upon us our conversation turned

to anniversaries, with comparisons made about who

was born in Tasmania, who arrived when, who had

come the furthest to get here. Barbara is one of the

furthest in distance, but has only been here 19 years!

We are keen to get our information out to the

younger, more tech savvy population, so we will be

investigating online links etc.

It was resolved to order some “Puppy Banks” from the Guide Dog Association; these are kept at home for

loose change over 2 months or so, with no amount too

small. We also resolved to have a joint venture with

the Lilydale Uniting Church, cooking pancakes on

Shrove Tuesday for the Lilydale School’s Breakfast Club. We were very warmly welcomed at the school

and helped serve 140 breakfasts.

The statewide Craft Camp at Deviot in February was

well attended – from our branch Jennifer taught

origami boxes, and Norma taught drawn thread work.

For our March meeting we will be discussing ideas for

the State health topic, country of study, and fundraiser

for the 2013/2014 year.

Next meeting is on Wed 6 March at 9.30am in the Uniting Church sitting room. Bring lunch to share and

learn some new craft.

Upper Piper Arts & Crafts Co-Op

It has been a great start to 2013 for the

co-op with an increase in sales and more

encouragingly we have had many new

members joining who bring a wide range of talents and craft ideas. If you have not been in the shop

for a few weeks you will be surprised by changes in

variety of the stock, reflecting the skills of the new

artists and the success of recent sales. Because of the increased sales we need to remind artists that Easter is

fast approaching and replacement stock is needed

urgently.

The Teddy Bears’ picnic is being held by Lilydale Lions

Club at Hollybank, on Sunday 24th of March 2013. The co-op is having a market stall at the picnic, spending

over $10 will gain you a FREE ticket in the raffle so we

hope to see you there.

Volunteers are always needed to staff the shop so if you would like to be involved why not attend our next

meeting in the Lilydale Court House on March 10 at

2.30pm.

Are you ready for digital TV?

On 9 April 2013 analog TV will be permanently

switched off across Tasmania and free-to-air TV will be

broadcast in digital-only.

To continue watching free-to-air TV, you need to ensure your television

can receive the digital signals by

either:

connecting a set-top box or digital recorder to an analog TV, or;

upgrading to a digital TV, which

has a built-in digital tuner.

If you cannot access digital TV from a terrestrial transmitter site the government-funded Viewer Access

Satellite Television (VAST) service is available. The

VAST service offers all 17 free-to-air channels and a

regional news channel. To access VAST you will need a

satellite dish and VAST set-top box for each TV you wish to connect.

The Government has set up two practical assistance

schemes to help with the switch to digital TV. The

Household Assistance Scheme and the Satellite Subsidy Scheme are available now; if you are eligible you should

have received a letter asking you to apply.

However if unsure of potential eligibility go to

‘Myswitch’ on the internet and enter your address as

directed.

The information provided will give an indication of the

strength of the TV signal, direction of transmitter and

whether it is possible that you may be eligible for one

of the assistance schemes.

To find out more about digital switchover, including

how to access local help and information about

assistance schemes, visit the Digital Ready Website

www.digitalready.gov.au, call the Digital Ready

Information Line on 1800 20 10 13 or contact Tony Deane-Shaw, Digital Switchover Liaison Officer on

0419 541 758.

The Teddy bears Picnic is on again and you and your teddy are invited along for a picnic, ride, races, and lots

of family fun. The day will start at 10 am and will go

until 2pm. There will be stalls, games, raffles, food, and

much more. We hope to see you all there for this

community event. For more information see advertisement in this edition.

Lions and the Bushfires

Lions around the state have been on the ground

assisting the recovery efforts from the recent bushfires. Lions in the south from various clubs have been helping

from the first days of the recovery, working with locals

in all effected areas, to ascertain their needs. Lions have

been and are continuing to feed 80-100 people daily

who are working in the recovery effort. They are working with Blaze Aid replacing 400 km fencing

destroyed in the fires, with a tool shed being delivered

from Victoria. After consultations with locals, Lions

have been asked by the community for a shower block, toilets and laundry. This is being delivered this week.

An on going Lions project for next few years will be to

build a Community Hall, again as requested by the

locals.

Lions Clubs around Tasmania and the mainland have donated $200,000 to aid these efforts. Lions are there

early, and for the long haul.

Mt Arthur Track

Lions member Nick, has recently installed an

information board at the beginning of the summit track. The board contains maps, photos and information on

the waking track up and on the summit. The club has

also signed a new 2 year agreement with Forestry

Tasmania with regards to maintaining the track.

March will be a very busy month with Markets, Teddy

Bears’ Picnic, the wood festival and other activities.

Keep an eye open for the Lions big red marquee and

the red shirted members. Come and say hello.

Lilydale & District Progress Assoc Inc

February 2013 Meeting Report

The first meeting for the year took place early February

and the attendance was a little low comparing to most

of 2012 meetings. The general business concerned the following agenda.

Planning Scheme: It appears for the time being that

‘Rural Living’ zoning is off the agenda. This proposed

zoning would have allowed for the possibility of more

larger blocks and hobby farms. From previous community consultations with the Launceston City

Council this zoning is what the community supported.

It was agreed that the 2011 proposal be resubmitted.

Lilydale Arts: Catherine spoke at length regarding the

forthcoming ‘Festival of Wood’ and the grand opening of the Mural Painted Poles. LDPA is fully supportive of

this great community event and will be assisting

whichever way we can.

Lilydale Activity Space: Leon spoke and presented his proposal of a generic activity space allowing for the

local children to have their own space. The concept has

been on the drawing board for a while and now it is

time for an action LDPA sub committee to drive this

project.

Lilydale Markets: The Village Market and Lilydale

Larder Sunday markets have brought a lot of people

into our town hopefully this will continue.

Water Committee: A number of issues have been raised out of committee so a meeting will be held this

month to discuss these concerns. ‘Love Lilydale

Water’ project is still on the drawing board. Hopefully

details will be released this month.

Street Scape: Parking along the area in front of the Village Green especially on Market days is causing

concern. The pinned down kerbing was removed to

allow for the resealing of the main street. We are of

the understanding that a full yellow line indicating no

parking in this area will be painted in this area by the LCC.

Other Business: If your organisation has a key to the

Court House could they please let Tom Dancer at the

Post Office know. Bookings are made at the PO and it is necessary to know who the key holders are.

Agenda Items for the March meeting:

Community Commercial Kitchen, Solar Lighting for the

Memorial Monument, Activity Space plus lots more

local concerns.

Why not become an active member of your

community and join us at the next meeting at 7.30pm

on Tuesday 5th March at the Lilydale Court House.

You will be welcome.

Lilydale Active Fitness Group.

We had a good start to the New Year.

Check us out at the Fitness Group, in the

Lilydale District School Gymnasium (at the

back of the school grounds), every Tuesday at 7 pm to 8 pm cost $ 7 per Session.

Also Saturdays at 10.30 am to 11.30 am cost $8.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers from the Group.

Senior Citizens

It is almost two months since Christmas. We started

back at bowls in late January after a very enjoyable Christmas break.

The Tamar Valley meeting was held at Lilydale on

February 7th between George Town, Beaconsfield &

Lilydale, no-one was eager to take on Secretary or Treasurer roles, so the few members that were at the

meeting decided to send a letter to the three clubs to

see if we could get someone interested, if not it will be

disbanded. The meeting will be held on 18th March at

Lilydale.

We have so very few members & North East have

asked us to help out with carnivals at different times.

We are having a big grocery raffle this Easter for our

club. As there isn’t any more news…

Good bowling to all.

Lilydale Landcare Report

We are pleased to report that our recent Small Farms

Field Day and the National launch of the new Federally

funded “Small Farm Living Resource Centre”, an

initiative by NRM North, to assist small farmers, was a huge success!

More than 200 people came from as far away as

Smithton, Branxholm, Deloraine and Latrobe and their

was even a couple from France, and an animal handler

from Queensland.

All the presenters did a sterling job, and there was

much to be learned from each presentation, it was also

great to have the Trades and equipment stands there

to add to the interest.

It was disappointing more locals weren’t there to find out what assistance is available to them, but with both

markets on, that kept a lot a people involved.

Oh to be spoilt for choice what to do in Lilydale!

This month on the 10th March, Sunday at 11.00 AM we will meet up with Oliver from the Understory

Network at Merthyr Park for a seed collecting walk,

then Back to Sonoma Lodge where a BBQ lunch will

be available at 12.30, to be followed by a propagating

workshop until 3.00 PM.

You do not have to be a Landcare member to attend,

and while the focus is on native endemic species, the

techniques learned can also be applied to exotic plants.

Please phone 63951062 to indicate your interest.

Welcome to new members Gordon Cuff and Susie

Aulich, David and Catherine Hamilton, the Nagy family,

Simon and Megan a`Campo, Mel de Clouet and Adrian

Cooper, Damien Sulzburgher, Jen Brown and Annie

Invitation

All members of the Lilydale community are cordially

invited to the official opening of the Lilydale Mural

Painted Poles combined with the Inaugural Festival of

Wood.

When: Saturday 16 March at 1 pm

Where: Lilydale Village Green

With: Underwood Band, Fire Brigade sausage sizzle,

wood elves a’dancing and lots more!

Our Last Pole Painting Report!

Hurrah! The ladies in orange moving slowly south on

the main street painting the Poles have almost dried

their brushes and cleaned their hands and fingernails

of paint.

Over the last fourteen months we have been, with

the generous help of volunteers including Lilydale Dis-trict School students, transforming the aged and faded

painted poles into vibrant, energetic, whimsical, witty

and moving works of art.

We, the Lilydale artists and volunteers are handing over to you, the community of Lilydale, these

beautifully painted images. Be proud of the work

done. Many people from all over the world have

stopped, admired and photographed the images on

the poles. We are the envy of Australia.

The official opening of this will be combined with the

Inaugural Festival of Wood at 1 pm on Sat 16 March

on the Village Green – see our invitation. We want

everyone to join in the celebrations.

As this is our last Pole report I would sincerely thank

my team starting with all the artists - leading artists

Leanne Hodgetts, Jenny Scott, Mags Warren-Roberts

and Teresa Whyman together with all the thirty or so

wonderful volunteers including our school students, ably directed by Kim Schneider and Paula Crook. All

fourteen poles look stunning and are a testament to

your creativity.

My very efficient agent, Brenda Bryce, thank you.

Thank you to you the community for support over the 14 months of work.

This project was funded by the Tasmanian

Community Fund and The Launceston City Council.

Thank you to Lilydale Arts for allowing me to undertake this project.

What's next?

Lilydale Mural Pole Painting.

challenge – to decorate a wooden post with the

The Great Lilydale Waterwheel Mystery

We have found a photo taken in 1904 of two little girls

above a waterwheel. The caption of the photo is “The

Old Waterwheel, Lilydale”. Where was this waterwheel?

The Upper Piper Arts and Crafts Cooperative have

generously donated a wonderful prize to the first

person to identify and verify where the Old Waterwheel actually was. The photo is displayed in the

Co-op, and the Festival of Wood Facebook site and

will be an integral part of the Lilydale Festival of

Wood’s history exhibition from 10-4 Sat and Sun at

the Uniting Church. Put your entry in the box at the Uniting Church during the Festival weekend.

Making a Community Bench

A core part of the Lilydale Festival of Wood is seeing

UTAS’s Simon Ancher in action as he, with assistance from the community, creates a beautiful wooden

community bench between 10 and 4 pm Sat-Sun 16-17

March. If you are interested in being part of the team

working with Simon and his Fine Arts student, contact

Bernadine on 6395 1295.

LILYDALE DISTRICT SCHOOL SNIPPETS

Phone: 6395 0100 Fax: 6395 0199 Email: [email protected]

Welcome back to all our hard working staff and students. We have had a wonderful start

to the learning year and welcome some new faces to our staff. Ms Penny Wilde is now our K - 4 Sector Leader. Mrs Bella Mitchell is a new teacher on our Prep/1 class and we also

welcome to our 3/4 class Miss Nerida Scamp and Miss Lauren Kan.

Congratulations to ex LDS student

Nick Griggs, brother of Trent and son of

Debbie who is a Teacher’s Aide and also runs our clothing pool, graduated last week with his

March Out from Kapooka Army Base at Wagga Wagga in NSW. Nick left Lilydale District

School at end of 2011 and was selected into

the Australian Defence Force late last year after a very competitive general entry process

that took nearly nine months.

Of the 50 other recruits who started with

Nick, only 31 made it through the very demanding training program leading up to their

March Out on Friday of last week. Nick was so successful that he was presented with a special

award for being the Most Outstanding Soldier

in his unit. His sense of duty, his courage, his comradeship and above all his great potential

for leadership were what stood out.

Nick was transferred on Monday to Singleton

for three more months of intensive training in his specialised field of Rifleman. After that he

will be posted to Townsville where he will be

eager for deployment overseas.

Congratulations to Nick! For those of us who

know him, we are reassured that the defence

of our country is in very capable hands.

Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday)

On Tuesday, 12 February the Student

Representative Council and ladies from CWA and the local Uniting Church came together to

cook pancakes! If you can imagine the scene: many smiling, hungry faces piling through the

door eager to taste a delicious pancake. There we were feeding the masses, going through

pancake mix like there was no tomorrow!

Amid the rush for breakfast, I couldn’t help but

feel a bit like Bilbo Baggins from “The Hobbit” having a group of dwarves coming into his

home and emptying out his larder. This scene from The Hobbit is a great example of what

Shrove Tuesday is all about. Having eaten to

their heart’s content, the dwarves are now ready for the journey ahead of them. For those

of you who have seen the movie, you will understand the significance of that first feast in

Bilbo’s home. For the journey they face is one

of hardship, of great sacrifice and of exploring who they really are, all the while pressing

forward towards their goal, which makes the

journey worthwhile. Along the journey

challenges are faced, decisions made and heroes are discovered. Likewise in the next stretch in

our own journey between now and Easter, we

may face challenges – new and old, we will definitely have decisions to make and we may

discover a hero or two, in ourselves or another. Therefore whatever we face, I hope

those who enjoyed a pancake on Shrove

Tuesday find enough strength for their own journey!
