Seven sisters of French, Irish and English origin answered the invitation of Bishop Corbett to set up a secondary school in his newly formed Diocese, arriving in March 1890.

Initially in temporary accommodation, the first stage of the Convent of Notre Dame de Sion on York St was opened in 1893, with the opening of the Chapel the highlight for the leader of the group, Mother Raphaela in 1901.

Later on, that energy and that courage were revealed ...the people came to know it; they rallied round them; they gave them encouragement and helped them in every way, till, in less than a year after the date to which he had referred the beautiful convent was opened and revealed itself to the public eye as a thing of real architectural beauty.

“There was in the midst of the little family of Sion a treasure of courage, of confidence and of

The Bishop, the priests and the people began to understand the treasure that they had amongst them.

Visitors who came to the town and saw the Convent and watched the beautiful grounds laid out with such skill and taste, found that it was indeed a holy place, a place where they would desire to see their children trained and brought up in the same cultured instincts that were found in this community.

The school began to increase, and when the public examinations were held year after year, the pupils of this Convent came to the front and

Not in the whole of Australia was there anything like it, and they were there that day to congratulate the good Nuns on having placed in the midst of them, something that was calculated to complete the education of the children, by giving to their minds an elevation, a polish, and a culture that only a grand and beautiful and tasteful building of this kind was able to achieve.””

The Gippsland Times in August 1901 reported the following extracts of the Very Rev. Father O’Farrell who gave the sermon at the Chapel dedication and who had also been in Sale assisting with the laying of the Foundation Stone.

“It was only nine years since he had been in Sale assisting at the ceremony of laying of the foundation stone of the magnificent institution that had since sprung up as if by magic. …a day not to be forgotten, for the idea of erecting a convent such as had been planned and intended on that day was looked upon by many as a hopeless task, as something that would never be accomplished.”

For many who had seen it had been heard to declare that not in any part of Australia in the present day was there a more beautiful, a more perfect, a more striking piece of architecture as a Convent than that which was in their midst.

carried away passes and honours, so that the whole of Victoria began to wake up to the fact that there was here a magnificent educational institution ...a splendid Convent …a refined, a cultured and capable community that could hold its own with the oldest and most distinguished educational establishments in the whole of Australia.”

Autism resources added to Bairnsdale Library East Gippsland Shire Council is thrilled that the region will now have access to books and other resources that which will provide much-needed information to people on the autism spectrum and their families.

“Our library has more than 1,200 books. This move will see these resources situated where they’re needed most, providing regional families with better access to information,” Ms Sharkie said.

The Bairnsdale Library, along with 12 other regional libraries in Victoria, is about to receive a major boost to its book collection through an initiative from Amaze (formerly Autism Victoria).

Amaze will be visiting Bairnsdale Library on Thursday, October 8 to launch the collection to people on the autism spectrum, their families and supporters and talk to the local autism community about its new strategic directions.

The Amaze library has provided support to many Victorians over many years, but families in regional Victoria had less access to these books.

Amaze CEO Fiona Sharkie said it made sense to de-centralise the organisation’s library.

Maria Morén, Amaze’s librarian, will be available to library staff to make suggestions regarding the collection, so they are able to make recommendations to borrowers.

“As librarians, our role is to find the best book for a family’s needs whether it’s when first receiving a diagnosis of autism, starting school or preparing for the teenage years. I’ll also be available to talk to members of the autism community about their information needs,” Ms Morén said.

Shire Mayor Cr Peter Neal said the Amaze resources were an exciting addition to the East Gippsland Library Service collection.

“Having an autism diagnosis in the family can be a worrying time. It’s great that our community will now have this calibre of information close to hand,” Cr Neal said.

Ms Morén will be available to speak to the community from 12pm onwards on a drop-in basis.

Ms Sharkie will hold an information session on the future direction of Amaze from 1.30pm- 3pm.

The Amaze Regional Library Collection Project has been supported by a generous donation from Freemasons Victoria.

South Gippsland Coming Up Roses

The Leongatha Rose Spectacular is a highly regarded event that not only promotes a love of roses, but also raises funds for Vision Australia.

Building on the positive response which linked the 2014 annual show to an outof-town event at Mt Eccles, organisers of this year’s Rose Spectacular are going a step further. They are working with the annual Loch Village Garden Festival to create a great day out with something completely different.

This amalgamation is because of a rose.

The “Loch Post Office Rose” has been scrambling around, obviously, the Loch Post Office, for several decades and at the moment it’s a bit of a mystery. It is thought to be the “Victor Emmanuel”

October 2015

rose by people who know their roses, though there is a dissenting voice. So local historical societies and long term residents are currently being canvassed for whatever information is out there. Your help in identifying the story of the rose would be great.

The Loch Garden Festival will have its usual format of a wide variety of open gardens around the neighbouring countryside, but with a special focus on roses within the village. Loch Hall will glow with floral arrangements and a chance for informal identification of that rose whose name always escapes. Well known floral artist Arie Bos has agreed to again create his Flemish painting. This will be filmed for garden clubs and others to use.

A $10 ticket for both events can be bought either at Memorial Hall, Leongatha, home of the Rose Spectacular, or Carrington’s of Loch. A morning and afternoon bus will link the two venues, allowing plenty of time for each event. There will be time for refreshmentscountry hospitality at Memorial Hall provided by the Red Cross and at Loch’s Coffee and Chocolate shops. $5 (single entry) tickets are also available at both venues.

Spring Into South Gippsland Spring is South Gippsland is a Festival of Spring. It celebrates the beauty of the garden and the region’s countryside throughout the Spring Season.

The project is a volunteer initiative to support all aspects of ornamental horticulture in the South Gippsland region.

It promotes existing and new activities as well as ongoing features.

Spring is South Gippsland gathers flower shows, open gardens and horticultural businesses together under the one umbrella between the Daffodil Festival and The Rose Show. It aims to cross promote the many events and increase tourist visits to the region.

The South Gippsland Shire supports the initiative

which extends throughout the whole South Gippsland region.

So far, this completely new promotion has mostly been aimed at collecting participants for a brochure, now to be available through visitor centres and a website, which is already up and growing.

The Website address is www. springissouthgippsland. com.au.

There is already a website promoting food production aspects of horticulture such as vineyards, fruit and vegetable growing etc.

Ready, Set, Walk!

Resources are now finalised for participating local primary schools for Walk to School 2015.

For some schools the Walk to School Passport developed by Council will allow students to track their walks and the interesting things they see along the way to school.

Other schools will use bright, colourful classroom calendars to record walks by the students.

Although Walk to School is technically celebrated during the month of October, all participating schools will receive sport store vouchers or family

passes to the local swimming pool as encouragement to keep being active long after the special month has ended.

“October is a great time to start walking because Gippsland’s fabulous spring sunshine makes it a pleasure to get out of the house and the car!” Said Council’s Social Planning Officer, Vicki Bradley.

“Children who take part in Walk to School will be building healthy habits for life and could win some great prizes for their family and their school.”

Phillip Island Small Farm Expo

October 2015

Launching Phillip Island’s 2nd Small Farm & Lifestyle EXPO Exhibitors and patrons it’s time to mark your diary for November 7 and 8th for the 2nd Small Farm and Lifestyle Expo, to be held at the famous Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit.

Most of the main equipment suppliers have already taken sites again because they had a very good response last year with a lot of equipment being sold over the 2 days then afterwards at their dealerships.

This year will be bigger and better with some exciting new additions and initiatives to attract more site holders and patrons alike. If you didn’t exhibit or attend last year you need to this year.

Internal and external sites are still available and exhibitors should contact the circuit for more details.

What’s On Show

“Over the two days we had lots of enquiry on our tractor range so we are more than happy to exhibit again”, said Anthony Blackshaw, Dealer Principle Claus Harvest Centre Leongatha.

There will be something for everyone at the show with tractors, ride on mowers, Ag bikes, garden tools, pumps, generators and so much more.

There will also be a strong focus on organic and sustainable living products, with everything from worm farms to solar lights and solar gates being featured.

On the lifestyle side, there will be exhibitors covering a range of leisure pursuits from water sports, pools and camping, to four wheel driving, health and tourism.

The reaction to the 2nd expo has been very positive with many local companies and organisations committed and exhibiting the latest farm machinery, implements, power equipment and cutting edge farm technology that will be of great interest to everyone.

What Last Year’s Exhibitors Said

“For a first event the circuit did a very good job of organising and attracting quality prospects over the two days. It wasn’t only farmers that attended there were a lot of people with small land holdings and hobby farms that we don’t always get to see at the dealership so that was a real positive. I would say if you were thinking about exhibiting this year you should get on-board and help build this event up because it’s something we need in the region,” concluded Anthony.

Anne Griffin from Advanced Therapy said, “The quality of the clientele was very good. Definitely put us down for next year.”

Rob Waddell Grand Ridge Sheep Stud said “Children free is a great idea and encourages families, site layout worked well, press and radio promotion was well done.”

Glenda Hoskins Taylex Industries said “Taylex plus our Distributors, BPN Sales and Gippsland Wastewater Solution, were all happy with the results we achieved from this show.”

Managing Director of the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit Fergus Cameron said, “This is the ideal way for exhibitors to build their brand awareness, generate new sales leads and prospects not only over the two days but into the future which will benefit everyone.”

“Having the Farm Expo at the end of Melbourne Cup week means there will be plenty of people around not only in the region but on the Island itself”, said Fergus.

“Every weekend is busy here so the exhibitors should expect to see a lot of patrons. We are also looking at introducing some family friendly activities such as a children’s animal farm, sheep dog demonstrations, face painting, shearing demonstrations and a lot more so it has a real family feel whilst also delivering quality products and prospects”, concluded Fergus.

Dedicated Rough terrain Area

Top: Displays at the First Phillip Island Small Farm & Lifestyle Expo

A dedicated rough terrain area will allow for quad bikes, gators, Ag bikes and 4WDrive vehicles to be put through their paces and a working farm area will showcase the latest farm machinery, tractors, slashers and ride-on mowers.

Middle: Kioti display at last years event.

You really couldn’t get a better setting for a Small Farm and Lifestyle Expo with easy parking and access for both exhibitors and patrons to the expansive grassed external sites being north and west of the pavilion flowing naturally into our purpose built 2000m2 pavilion for internal sites.

Bottom: Wonthaggi Cycles display at last years Expo.

Stand Out Box on Left: Pakenham Product stand. Just one of the exhibitors at last years event.

The Expo will be open from 9am – 4pm each day Saturday and Sunday November 7 and 8, and will cost $10 for adults; and is free for children 17 and accompanied by an adult.

Why Is It Called Passion Fruit?

TheJesuitmissionariesthatrode along with the Conquistadors into South America in the 16th Century used the intricate design of the passion fruit flower petals to explain the story of the Crucifixion; 10 petals and sepals represented the apostles, a crown of thorns was seen in the filaments, and the five anthers represented the five wounds. The three stigmas were the nails that pierced the hands and feet of Jesus and the vine’s tendrils were equated with the whips? The Passion of Christ!

The Passion fruit flower is truly a work of art, quite exquisite and they are popping out now, in summer, to evolve into fruit ready for autumn feasting.

Passion fruit comes in several different styles, the tradition Nellie Kelly Black, great for the southern states of Australia.

The Panama Red produces, large, sweet luscious fruit, really abundant in crops and spreads over a much larger area. A yellow version, Panama Gold, is also a beauty, with large delicious

Back in the day, (when ever that was?) you traditionally planted your Passion fruit on a piece of liver purchased from the butcher, or your dead cat, dog or possum, apologies to the squeamish.This provided the Passion fruit with a big hit of nitrogen, they are extremely hungry, and have a ferocious appetite success with a Passion fruit relies on a good feeding routine.

fruit, and a vigorous and highly productive vine.

Always choose a grafted Passion fruit, this will ensure a disease resistant plant that is hardy and strong growing. Always true to type, you are assured of a quality professionally grown plant that will thrive for you for a lifetime.

Prune your Passion fruit in spring, shear off about 30cms of growth. Then feed the plant.

Feed again in summer, apply a tonic in late summer and then a gentle feed or tonic in mid to late autumn.

If you pick you Passion fruit before 12 Noon they stay smooth skinned if you pick them in the afternoon they wrinkle, either way, they taste fantastic, sparkling and sweet in flavour, and a handsome and rewarding plant to grow.

Fruiting in autumn, olives are blissfully simple to preserve, you can salt the very ripe black olives and let them dry in the soft autumn sun, in a plastic colander or draining tray. Turn and toss them every day or so and after a week (taste the olive to ensure it’s lost it’s strong bitter taste) or so you can wash of the salt dry well and either freeze them or put them into a sterilised jar and cover with oil.

Sex and the Avacado

Female in the Morning Male in the afternoon?

The sex life of plants is fairly mundane really. It’s what we all learned at the nature table in primary school and later in Biology. Stigma, stamens, pollen and ovaries does fruit make.

This is the case with the avocado. They follow the same rule of nature, but in a very kooky kind a way.

Actually kinky is probably more appropriate than kooky.

Avocados are transsexual In the morning the flowers are female and in the afternoon they’re male, unless it’s an Avocado B type, as they are male in the morning and female in the afternoon.

Isn’t that fabulous, shame it’s not performed with a huge TAAAA DAAAH!!!

This is the reason why a solitary avocado produces fruit, it can manage the whole process by its self, in the crossing over process the lag time creates a little cross pollinating.

If you are planning on having an avocado orchard or even a couple of trees to ensure that you have hundreds of fruit make sure that you have an A type Avocado and a B type Avocado, for the full on pollinating flurry with the correct stigma with the correct stamen at the correct time of the day and stay out of the garden when they’re crossing over...

Did you know that an Avocado has more potassium than a banana?

The Simple Secret For Sweet Potato Success SLIP - SLICE - SLOT The simple secrets to growing your own sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are so versatile in the kitchen. They are a delicious vegetable that not only makes itself very comfy in many culinary dishes it’s excruciatingly wholesome.

Full of Vitamin A and C, Beta Carotene, it’s an antioxidant an anti inflammatory, an all round health giving bundle of deliciousness!

They are also a happy go lucky kind of vege to grow in the garden.

You need a little room for them to stretch out.

A sandy loam soil.

Full sun for most of the day.

They work well in pots and are a fun plant to grow in a hanging basket if you’re really tight on space.

Sweet potatoes should be grown from first generation tubers – this ensures your success, with plants producing large full sized tubers and provides protection from virus and diseased stock.

We will explain in detail the procedure for preparing your

tubers for planting. There are three crucial steps.

Creating the slip, slicing the slip for planting and slotting the slip into the soil to bulk out the plant to induce several tubers on each.

Allocate your patch to grow your sweet potatoes.

Enrich the soil with organic matter, compost and add some good handfuls of complete fertiliser and DOLOMITE lime. Now leave it to rest while you prepare the slips.

Take your tuber and wiggle it down (about 7 cm) into a pot or a foam box full of compost and leaf litter, place in a sunny warm possie, moisten and keep your eye on your project for the

next few weeks.

Shoots should appear in a couple of weeks, let them grow up to about 30cm.

You then cut the shoots in lengths of about 25cm, remove all the leaves except for the tip leaves.

You then plant these shoots into your growing patch, plant them down so that three nodes are covered. ( a node is where the leaf connected ) Plant out at 30 cm spacings.

your prepared soil will be rich enough for the entire season.

It will be about 120 days before the vine dies down and you can then harvest your crop of potatoes. However you can bandicoot around when you start to see the leaves yellowing at the tips. Scratch around under the plant and remove a couple of tubers leaving the balance to continue to grow.

back your the crop

Harvest your main crop on a bright sunny day and leave the tubers exposed for a few hours.

Brush off the soil and store in a dark dry airy place. They will store for a good couple of months.

Use a liquid seeweed tonic every couple of weeks, avoid fertiliser,

WHEN YOU PURCHASE OUR FIRST GENERATION TUBERS WE SEND YOU THIS

You may wish to come and cut more from mother tuber through season to lengthen your and harvest.

Unique Characters of Gippsland

Unique Characters of Gippsland Presents

Joy Pym

Joy Pym, born in Moe in 1943, to parents Edgar and Mavis Pentland.

Joy is the second eldest in the family of four, her siblings being Ron, Greg, and Joan.

Educated at Albert Street Primary School Moe, and later at Moe High School, she began her working life as a shop assistant in Moe at Coles Variety Store, and later progressed to the shoe department at W.A. Purvis Stores in Moe until she moved on to assist her father Edgar in the fledgling chainsaw business that he opened which traded successfully as E.H. Pentland & Co for many years until the ill health of Edgar forced it’s closure.

Joy married and had three sons, Stephen, Philip and Paul. She spent a number of years as the manager of an automotive components supply warehouse in Morwell, and later as an Office Manageress of an automotive retail business before retiring.

Separated from her first husband she later married Derek Pym and she currently resides with Derek and her youngest son Paul on a small property at Yinnar South, and her extensive collection of birds along with their much loved dog Missy.

She is also the very proud grandmother to Lachlan and Abby children of Philip and his wife Kristy.

A love and appreciation of the outdoors was instilled in Joy early when at around the age of five she and her older brother Ron spent a good part of their school holidays every year with their grandparents at Seaspray.

If they were very good they were allowed to get up at 5am and go to the beach with Grandpa who was a keen fisherman, they would light a fire and cook marshmallows and other goodies while grandpa fished.

No cars in those days‌.. walk the kilometre or so to the beach and home again taking the opportunity to

play hide and seek among the sand dunes when they could and generally run amok, poor grandpa, no designated walking tracks to the beach needed to be kept to in those days just go wherever and enjoy.

Many hours during the latter part of the day also saw Joy and her brother trekking along the beach hunting for crabs and pippies or collecting shells which in those days were abundant and free to the taking.

Many other days were spent by Joy and her siblings accompanying their father who was a timber getter in the bus where they spent lots of time hunting through the undergrowth looking for skinks, lizards, frogs or anything that moved, these they were allowed to take home to show mum but needed to be taken back the next day and released.

Lyrebirds and many other native birds were commonly seen and appreciated.

In later life when her boys were small Joy and the boys spent many days enjoying day trips into the outdoors lighting camp fires, doing a little cooking and fishing and generally mucking about.

Along with Joy, the interest in, and knowledge of birds grew for her boys which resulted in two of them, Philip and Paul setting up and owning and operating Birds N Things in Morwell, which they ran with great success for a period of 13 or so years.

Joy was very actively involved in assisting them with the running of this business until it was sold.

During the time of them running this business the boys along with Joy were instrumental in liaising with Avigrain seed merchants to develop a seed mix that they felt was the optimum mix suited to parrots of all sizes.

This mixture which to this day is marketed as Peachface Lovebirds mix is still a very sought after mix in their range.

In due course, the hen as Cockatiels do, began dropping eggs all over the aviary floor as no nesting facilities had been provided.

Meanwhile the aviary had also been extended and now housed what Joy is now aware was a totally unsuitable mix of birds being the original pair of Cockatiels, Zebra Finches, Diamond Doves, several Peach Faced Lovebirds and a pair of King Quail.

Her avicultural interest began around 1979 brought about initially by the instigation of her son Philip who spotted a Cockatiel in a pet shop one day, and pestered his father until he built him a small aviary

Joy is currently a member of the Parrot Society of Australia, and also the Mornington Peninsula Avicultgural Society, which in August of this year featured on the front cover the years taking on many roles within the club at times holding the positions of treasurer, secretary and president respectively.

to accommodate the bird, which turned out to be birds, because by the time the aviary was completed the pet shop only had them available in pairs which they would not split, so the pair duly arrived home.

Visiting a friend one day, in around 1981, Joy saw in his aviary what she thought was the most beautiful of parrots.

It turned out to be a male Turquosine which from that moment on was firmly on a must-have list for her.

Enquiries transpired that a native wildlife license was required to be able to keep this species.

This was the commencement of her avicultural journey in earnest. She joined the local branch of the Avicultural Society of Australia and began to be a regular attendee at meetings.

As the boys grew older they, along with Joy and Derek also shared a love of ten pin bowling which they all participated in together for many years.

For roughly 15 years of the clubs existence Joy produced a monthly magazine which was mailed to all members.

Time passed and Joy became a very active member of the Gippsland Branch of the Avicultural Society, over

In her teenage years and early twenties Joy was a keen ballroom dancer and was a member of the teaching staff for Merv Burrages School of Dancing which was based at Shaws Ballroom in Moe. Joy along with other members of this group won several Australian ballroom dancing awards.

Joy was also a foundation member of the Victorian Cockatiel & Aviary Bird Society which developed from small beginnings from an initial group of 10 people coming together to eventually boast an Australia wide membership of around 250.

Zebra Finches

Many bird books began to be purchased, knowledge grew, and the conclusion was soon reached that more aviaries were required to accommodate the birds that the family already had that were housed unsuitably together and of course a special aviary was needed to house the pair of Turguosines that were now a prized possession.

of their monthly magazine a pair of Major Mitchells Cockatoos owned and bred by none other than Joy. In addition to indulging her passion of keeping and breeding her now extensive collection of birds, Joy has made time available to attend various Avicultural Society meetings throughout Victoria as a guest lecturer encompassing various avicultural subjects, and is also currently contracted to produce a bi-monthly article for Talking Birds magazine which has an Australian wide distribution.

She is currently the local agent for bird/pet safe Soy

Candles and Melts being produced by her NSW based daughter in-law Kristy and spends several hours a week looking after merchandising lines in the local Ritchies Supermarket in Churchill.

Such is her passion for her hobby during the breeding season it is not uncommon for Joy to be kept busy hand rearing many different species for birds sometimes as many as 40 or so at a time to supply to the ever expanding and enthusiastic pet bird market.

Busy as she undoubtedly is, Joy also willingly makes herself available to people seeking advice with regard to the keeping and wellbeing of their birds.

She has agreed to produce some articles about the keeping and breeding of birds for future editions of The Gippslander.

Tantalise your taste buds with Spiced Lamb Cutlets

Prep Time: 1.5 Hours Cooking Time: 6-10 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients: 8 Lamb Cutlets Marinade: 4 tbs Lemon Juice 2 tbs Rice Bran Oil 1 ½ tsp Ground Cumin 1 ½ tsp Ground Turmeric 1 tsp Smoked Paprika 1 tsp Rosemary 2 sprig of Thyme 1 tbs Sugar 1 tsp Garlic Powder Pinch of Salt Sauce: 1 Whole Head of Garlic 2 tbs Rice Bran Oil 50 grams Butter Sprig of Rosemary 4 sprig of Thyme Pepper to taste

Method: 1. Preheat oven to 200° Celsius for 10 minutes.

2. In a bowl, combine ingredients for the marinade and whisk to form an emulsion.

The marinade should be about the consistency of a thin oil.

3. Place the marinade and the lamb cutlets into a zip lock bag and shake the bag to coat all the cutlets with marinade. Seal the bag, ensuring you get as much air as possible out and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (up to 24 hours is best).

4. In a roasting pan, place the head of garlic, rice bran oil and herbs and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the garlic is soft and starting to caramelise around the base.

5. Remove the garlic from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Once cooled, squeeze all of the roasted garlic from the skin and place in a pot along with the cooking oil and some of the herbs left in the roasting tray.

6. Using a whisk, break up the roasted garlic until it is a creamy consistency. Add butter and place the pot over a low heat to melt. Combine well with a whisk.

7. Heat a grill pan or your BBQ to the hottest it can get then place the lamb cutlets on to sear.

Cook the lamb cutlets for 3-5 minutes on each side.

8. Rest the lamb cutlets on a plate under foil for 2 minutes to ensure they are beautiful and pink when served.

9. Drain the resting juices into the garlic sauce and add pepper to taste. Whisk one more time before serving in a bowl.

10. Serve lamb cutlets with desired sides and garlic sauce.

Serving Suggestion: Pea, rocket and parmesan side salad with honey roasted truss tomatoes.

Tinting for your home Nothing adds life to your home more than great natural light, but it’s also possible to have too much of a good thing.

With natural sunlight comes unwanted heat and hotspots, which can really affect your overall comfort and make for a less inviting atmosphere.

Solar Gard films reject up to 79% of solar energy - providing you greater temperature stability and comfort while reducing solar heat gain and bothersome glare.

At Tint King, we understand just how hard you have worked to achieve the great Aussie dream of owning your own home, so we want to help you to reduce your ongoing expenses.

With Solar Gard window film installed on your home you can save significantly on energy costs, maintain a safer and more comfortable home and reduce interior fading.

Some benefits of window films are: Energy Savings With proven heatrejection properties, Solar Gard architectural solar control window films help homes consume up to 30% less energy for cooling by keeping interior temperatures more stable.

For an additional energy savings, Solar Gard architectural window films filter harsh sunlight to eliminate the bothersome glare that forces homeowners to draw their blinds and turn on electric lights.

UV protection Everyone knows that the # 1 way to prevent premature aging and skin cancer is to protect skin from the sun.

We are careful to slather sunscreen all over when hitting the beach; we arm ourselves with moisturisers packed with SPF to shield damaging UV rays.

But what about when in our homes? Most people don’t realize that their skin is not fully protected through their windows.

Luckily, Solar Gard window film blocks up to 99% of the dangerous UV rays that cause premature aging and skin cancer.

Safety Solar Gard Armorcoat safety films are specifically designed to hold shattered glass

Professionally installed, Solar Gard window film comes in a range of products to fit all your solar protection needs: Provide extraordinary solar control with a range of different colours Patented metallised films that provide superior heat protection in hot climates Constructed of metals such as gold, silver and bronze for optimum privacy with minimal heat

Protects from solar heat in the summer and also keeps interior heat inside during the winter

Pets

For the Birds The Legitimate Hobby Of Bird Keeping Under Threat

So, you have interest in birds, as a pet bird owner, a breeder, or just as an appreciative lover of their beauty? If any of these things are you then this article affects you in some way.

The hobby of bird keeping in Victoria, and indeed possibly Australia, is seriously at risk at the moment. A group of very vocal animal activists who are ill-informed at best, and at worst deliberately misleading and being intentionally disruptive, are doing their utmost to ensure that the hobby of keeping and breeding birds is seriously and permanently derailed.

This group has already successfully caused bird sales that have been held in this state this year partially stopped citing a range of welfare issues as being concerned. Bird sales have been conducted in Victoria with the sanction of the relevant Government departments in charge of birds for the past 30 years without any welfare issues being raised.

Bird clubs utilise these bird sales to endeavour to help and educate the general public as to the acceptable and correct method of keeping their birds whether as pets or breeding aviary birds.

Contrary to claims being made by this radical group that many of the birds being presented for sale are stressed or in poor health.

These claims have been proven to be totally untrue.

www.gippslander.com.au

Some of these issues were said to have occurred at the recently held bird sale at Skye. This despite the attending officers from both the RSPCA and Department of Environment stating categorically that they had no issue with the health of the birds presented for sale, nor their method of presentation.

All birds being presented for sale are inspected by either a veterinarian or a very experienced bird person prior to them being benched for sale. All birds must be displayed in presentation boxes as specified in the code practice for bird sales which has been drawn up by bird clubs in consultation with the relevant Government bird authorities.

All sellers are required to present birds for sale in compliance with this code which outlines minimum display box sizes appropriate to the species of bird, only one species of bird per box is allowed, and all birds must be provided with appropriate food and water.

No overcrowding of birds is tolerated, and boxes must be clean and in good condition these regulations have been put in place to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of the birds.

Not all wire cages are allowed at the venues as are no dogs with the exception of trained dogs.

Activists also chose to attack the presence of a very well-known and respected Avian Vet who attended the Skye bird sale which he did in a voluntary capacity at the invitation of the organisers to advise interested people how to best clip a pet birds

Birds affected by the Ban wings to enable it to safely co-exist in a household environment, they went as far as accusing him of malpractice that should be reported to the Veterinary Association solely in view of his presence at the sale.

Animal activist would have the general public believe that bird breeders are an uncaring, money hungry rabble who have no interest apart from a monetary gain in their birds, and are endeavouring to claim that the bird breeders are a kin to puppy farm keepers.

This could not be further from the truth!!! The facts are that unless birds are kept in optimum conditions and fed an appropriate and healthy diet they simply will not breed. In fact, some species are very difficult to breed even if all their housing and feeding requirements are fully met.

Over the years I have had a number of people approach me and ask the question ”What birds can I buy that I can breed and money out of ”? My reply would be. “None”.

If your aim in keeping birds is to make money, forget it as you will not succeed. And furthermore, we do not want people with that mindset invading our hobby.

Sure, some birds, particularly some hand reared species are being sold for quite large sums of money, therefore it is easy to think WOW! There is money in this. But take into account the equipment needed to provide a three week old helpless baby with all its requirements, namely, a thermostatically controlled brooder running 24/7,

special hand rearing formula, a range of feeding utensil spoons, syringes and sterilising equipment, and an assortment of weaning cages and special weaning foods.

Not to mention keeping to a schedule for anything from 4 to 6 months depending on the species of bird and of needing to be available night and day 4 hourly, or sometimes 2 to 3 hourly feeds.

So, take into account to expense of equipment required and the time consumed and maybe a return of 50 cents per hour would be realistic.

We don’t do it for the money. We do it for the love of the birds. Many breeders have outlaid thousands in pursuit of their hobby, in an endeavour to provide the best aviaries and conditions for their birds, and in addition spend a quite large sum of money each week to

provide their birds with the very best of food in the way of fresh produce, with which they also spend a considerable amount of time in preparing for their flock, and rain hail or shine are out and about tending to their needs.

There are no days off for a bird keeper.

At the end of the day the love of the birds are paramount and anyone who chooses to think otherwise is a very misguided and totally uneducated as to the reality of pursuing bird keeping as a hobby.

Yes, birds are meant to fly, many would say fly free. But the reality is, that birds that have been bred in avian situations for generations are no longer street-wise, and they simply can no longer fend for themselves, they are incapable of recognising food sources, nor

Quakers do they have an awareness of potential predator dangers and most will only at best survive in the wild for a few days.

Our birds do fly, they are provided with spacious aviaries and a variety of natural foraging foods to ensure they are maintained in the best condition. We pursue our hobby for the love of the birds.

But, if animal activists have their way, their ultimate aim is for NO BIRDS to be in cages.

This poses the question what would be the fate of the millions of pet and aviary birds we have and enjoy in this country at the moment??

Fire Prevention

Burning Off on Private Land

If in doubt, do not light a fire. General advice about fire restrictions.

Restrictions apply to burning off on private land in Victoria.

These restrictions are important to reduce the chance of a bushfire that could result in loss of life and property. They are actively enforced.

You should monitor all available media to be aware of Total Fire Ban days and prohibited periods and take appropriate action.

This page is a guide. More detail on requirements can be found in the relevant legislation or regulations.

For assistance or further information, please contact your local DELWP office.

It should be noted that Burning off on State forest, national park and protected public land is the responsibility of DELWP.

On Total Fire Ban days On days of Total Fire Ban, burning off is not permitted anywhere.

All burning off is banned.

Any authority to burn is automatically suspended (this is specified in the conditions on the authority to burn).

Seasonal – permits required.

During the seasonal prohibited period fire restrictions under the Forests (Fire Protection) Regulations 2014 are in force. They apply over private land within 1.5 kilometres of public land (see definition

at fire restrictions and regulations) in the following municipalities: • Gippsland – Baw Baw Shire, East Gippsland Shire, Latrobe City, Wellington Shire • North East Victoria – Alpine Shire, Benalla Rural City, Indigo Shire, Mansfield Shire, Mitchell Shire, Murrindindi Shire, Strathbogie Shire, Towong Shire, Wangaratta Rural City, Wodonga City • Alpine Resorts – Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Mt Hotham.

In other areas the CFA and municipal councils may also have restrictions in place.

To burn off on private land when and where the seasonal prohibited

period applies, you will need to apply for an authority (permit) to burn. See your local DELWP office.

An authority to burn will specify certain conditions that you must comply with, such as: •Width of fuelbreaks •Time and days of lighting and extinguishment •Supervision

•Reporting.

Any authority to burn is automatically suspended on: • A day of Total Fire Ban and • Certain other days.

Outside the seasonal prohibited period Outside of the seasonal prohibited period, DELWP does not impose conditions on burning off on private

land. You are, however, still responsible for the safety and liability of your fire, and any damages or consequences caused by the fire or fire escape.

The CFA and municipal councils may have restrictions in place.

Start Preparing your property for the fire season With the fire season fast approaching, Wellington Shire Council is reminding residents to start preparing their properties.

Before and during the fire season, community members in residential areas are required to ensure ground fuel, including grass, weeds, bracken fallen branches and tree cuttings, is reduced on their properties and that all shrubs and tree limbs overhanging neighbouring properties are removed.

Flammable items such as furniture, woodpiles and mulch should also be moved away from windows, decks and eaves.

“Residents in all zones and of all land sizes should ensure their properties are fire ready by reducing

fuel around their homes,” Wellington Shire Council Mayor Carolyn Crossley said.

“To ensure our residents’ safety, our fire prevention officers will be conducting property inspections across the shire, especially in areas with absent property owners in our coastal towns.”

Rural Living and Farm Zone residents should create a fuel reduced zone of 30 metres around any buildings and structures by cutting grasses, removing dead undergrowth, fallen branches and twigs.

A 10 metre fire break along boundaries where paddocks meet residential areas should be slashed and in heavily wooded areas, it is recommended to have a fuel reduced area 5 metres wide with grasses and other ground

fuels no more 100mm high.

than

Please speak to Council’s environmental planner if you want to remove native vegetation.

After residents clear their properties, they are required to dispose of their green waste responsibly and can do so at our Council waste facilities, at a low cost throughout the year or free on our annual Green Waste Weekend.

Community members residing in Rural Living Zones or Farm Zones are permitted to burn off safely in non-fire danger periods by ringing the burn off notification number on 1800 668 511.

Residents in residential zones are not permitted to burn off unless they obtain a permit.

On Saturday 31 October, Sunday 1 November and Monday 2 November, Council will hold its annual Green Waste Long Weekend where all residents can dispose of their green waste free of charge at our waste facilities in Kilmany, Maffra, Rosedale, Loch Sport, Seaspray, Heyfield, Stratford and Yarram from 9.00am to 4.00pm.

Councillor Crossley said residents should make the most of Green Waste Long Weekend.

“We are encouraging our residents to have their properties clear and their green waste ready to go to one of our facilities for free disposal on this weekend,” Cr Crossley said.

From 4 November, Council’s Municipal Fire Prevention Officers will start inspecting properties across the municipality to ensure they are fire safe, issuing non-compliant property owners with notices.

Cinema Guide

Wake in Fright (1971)

Directed by: Ted Kotcheff Starring: Gary Bond and Donald Pleasence

An Outback schoolteacher’s brief stopover in a quaint mining town quickly turns into an intense and nightmarish journey into a world of temptation, exploiting the primary desires of man. ‘Wake in Fright’ is a highly sensory experience full of striking symbolism and metaphor.

When it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1971, ‘Wake in Fright’ received generally excellent reviews. It also made a lasting impact on a young, and relatively unknown film-maker by the name of Martin Scorsese.

The eerily isolating outback setting is photographed beautifully, and places viewers firmly in the protagonist’s shoes. The film’s portrayal of a particular aspect of our culture is unsettling, but very accurate and far from dated.

I consider ‘Wake in Fright’ to be one of the best Australian films ever made.

However, poor domestic box-office returns subsequently caused the film to fade into obscurity for several decades.

Thankfully, ‘Wake in Fright’ was restored in 2009 and released on DVD and Blu-ray later that year, finally giving it the exposure it deserves and captivating a whole new generation of film audiences.

It’s in the details

Restoration can be as simple as light cleaning to remove disfiguring dirt or grime, such as on the surface of a painting, or it may include near complete rebuilding or replacement, as might be the case with old automobiles or furniture.

Often done in preparation for sale, or by a collector upon acquiring a new piece, the main goal of restoration is to “restore” the original appearance or functionality of a piece.

There is a lot of difference between restoring and repairing.

You may achieve functionality with a repair, but restoring an item properly is an art-form.

Finishes might/may be stripped and redone, but it is essential that the original patination is retained, if possible. Stripping is only done as a last resort, especially with antique furniture.

Engines might be rebuilt with new parts as necessary, or holes in a silver pot might/may be patched.

While some of these practices are frowned on by many museums, scholars, and other experts, for many people there is little value in an antique that is unusable or not able to be displayed.

Poor restoration is the bane of a trained restorer.

Working on someone else’s bad repair is the worst possible situation.

facebook.com/TraralgonAntiques Often with antique restoration, there are also other issues as well.

For example, some collectors value “patina”, or also want an item to still reflect an aesthetic that shows its age- in this respect, an “over restored” item can actually take away from its value than if nothing has been done to the item at all.

Therefore, restoration of valuable objects should

always be left to professionals who are sensitive to all of the issues, ensuring that a piece retains or increases its value after restoration.

It’s always best to consult with an antique store or person if you have any questions about getting your antique repaired or restored.

Restorers are often trained craftspersons, such as furniture makers, mechanics, or metalsmiths.
