AKING OVER THE REINS

My name is Peter Trevaskis and I am the new Editor for the Leigh News.

First of all, join with me in thanking Gratton and Kathryn Fraser for their contribution to our community through their work for the Leigh News. We wish them all the best in their new endeavours and business in Queensland.

I have recently retired from full time employment as a Mechanical Services Estimator for a Large Commercial Air Conditioning Company, so bring with me my computer skills. The challenge of learning a new program to produce the Leigh News will be exciting, and I am very pleased to have Faye Thomas offer to assist me in my initial training and setup of the Leigh News. Without Faye’s considerable help, this edition of “The

News” would still be being prepared.

My wife Dorothy and I have been residents of Inverleigh for 15 years, having moved from Geelong in 2000.

We have 3 Adult Children and 3 Grandchildren. I have been involved with the local Bowls Club for the last 3 years and look forward to the upcoming season. I also enjoy woodwork and music, and have been a musician at Church since the age of 12.

I look forward to meeting many more of the local community through this role, and welcome your input back to the community via articles in the Leigh News. Feel free to contact me with your community interest articles and advertisements as we all enjoy our lifestyle together around “The Leigh”.

A big thank you to the Progress Association Committee for welcoming me onto the team. What a great group they are and I’m sure together we will do nothing but our best for “The Leigh News”.

Peter Trevaskis.

Inverleigh Progress Association Annual Report July 2015 In October last year, as a member of the local Red Cross, I took great delight in working in the kitchen of the Inverleigh Public Hall; we were catting for a Red Cross Luncheon. The two new ovens, stove top and sound system, that the progress Association had provided funds for, made a huge difference to catering for such a function. Again at the Australia Day Breakfast and the ANZAC Day service, the new facilities made life so much easier for those that were in the Kitchen. It is very rewarding to think that our Association was able to provide the funds that made the kitchen update possible, our community will benefit well into the future.

Last year the new editor of the Leigh News, Graton Fraser, had been producing a great local paper for our community. We were therefore very disappointed when Gratton and his family decided to relocate to Qld. in December last year. Understanding the reasons for this big change, we were never the less sorry to be losing such a great editor. Graton kindly kept editing the Leigh News from Qld. for us until such time as we were able to find someone to take over the reins. The search was then on for a person prepared to take up the challenge.

After much advertising for the position and with little response, we were faced with the possibility that after 40 yrs., The Leigh News would have to go into recess. We are therefore very pleased to welcome on board Peter Trevaskis, our new Leigh News Editor. We look forward to working with Peter and enjoying what he will bring to our local paper.

The town Clock is still a work in progress; hopefully the clock will be placed on the tower of the Gazebo by the end of the year.

No volunteer organization can function without a good core of great people. Ross Peel continues his diligent maintenance of the river pump enabling locals’ access to water for stock and gardens.

The section 86 committee especially, Damian Baker works hard to keep the grass and weeds under control in the open space areas of our beautiful town. At this time of year it is a constant job.

Tony Waayers took over the job of treasurer, it has been a little more challenging than it should have been. We thank Tony for his perseverance and dedication to the job.

Hopefully the year ahead will be a little easier.

To Luanne, our secretary, sincere thanks.

This position is the most demanding on time and energy. Your efforts on our behalf are very much appreciated.

The Progress Association has worked in our community for many years, quietly

achieving projects that enhance the community. We rely on good communication with the shire council, and hard work by our volunteer members.

The walking tracks that are enjoyed by so many and of course the Leigh News are probably the two most obvious areas of our work. If you are a member of our community that would like to be part of planning for the future, we would love you to come and join us. We treasure the wonderful feel of our country town, something that must be preserved, while at the same time carefully moving ahead.

We have a vibrant, alive town that people travel to enjoy, or enjoy as they pass through on their travels. Just take a look at the main street on a Sat. morning. We hope that you are as proud of our town, as we at the Progress Association are.

I look forward to what lies ahead for our great little town of Inverleigh.

Hilary Hamilton President Progress Association

Earlier this year we met with Steve and Christine, the Golden Plaines Community Planning Facilitators. It became apparent that the Inverleigh community coordinators had disbanded. It was decided that the Progress Association would step up and take on a liaison role. This role is to create a link with community groups and the council, aided by Steve and Christine.

Dale Smithyman, from the shire, joined us at a meeting to ask for input into his report on the open space area south of the town to the river junction. We look forward to the report and work that may follow.

Live Music in Meredith

The third annual FReeZA Push Start Battle of the Bands will be held at the Meredith Memorial Hall on Friday 14 August.

The event will provide musicians aged 14 – 25 the chance to have live stage experience while performing in front of a local crowd.

This year will feature Indie Rock band Residual who first joined the Push Start journey in 2013 when they performed at the Courthouse Battle of the Bands in Geelong.

Residual were more than willing to come back and support the event that started their road to success. Residual will join the panel of judges who will provide valuable feedback to the competing bands. Other members of the judging panel will include local music teacher Kym Ivory and Meredith Music Festival Director, Matt High. Matt says “Push Start is an invaluable tool for local amateur musicians to start being noticed and acknowledged…

Starting out [in the music industry] is the hardest

part of the journey and Push Start makes the first step that much easier”.

The Push Start competition has been organised by the Golden Plains FReeZA Youth Development Team. The event has taken almost three months to plan and during that time the FReeZA Team have gained skills in event management, marketing and promotion, risk management, and live sound production.

The FReeZA Team are excited to invite people of all ages to the event that has seen previous winners receive record labels, sign contracts with agents and perform at the Moomba Festival in Melbourne. The FReeZA Push Start Battle of the Bands will open its doors at 7.15pm. A gold coin donation will support the FReeZA Team to produce more events for other young people in the local area.

returning to their routes

Geelong indie rock band, Residual, will pay homage to their routes and inspire other young musical talent when they return to headline the Push Start Battle of the Bands competition in August.

The 2015 FReeZA Push Start Battle of the Bands competition will be held at the Meredith Memorial Hall on Friday 14 August. This an annual Victorian Battle of the Bands contest for people aged 14 – 25. It’s a great event, providing important opportunities for young musicians and emerging artists to gain local exposure and live performance time.

This Year’s Push Start competition will see a line-up of local young emerging musicians who will battle it out for a spot at the Barwon Regional Final in October. Supported by the Meredith Music Festival and Music Workshop,

Leigh News August 2015-Peter.indd 7

Residual will also join a panel of judges to provide their feedback and critique to the young musicians.

Residual first joined the Push Start competition in 2013 at the Courthouse Battle of the Bands. Following their success, the four-piece band went on to join the line-up at the Push Pop-Up stage at Moomba which opened the doors for many more big things. The boys have since been on an Australian tour, released an extended play (EP) and supported many big name artists like British India and The Cairos.

Registrations for Battle of the Bands are still open for soloists, duos and bands to apply. A series of workshops will also be held in the weeks prior to the competition for those starting out with their music or for those wishing to advance their already existing talent.

TABLE OF CONTENTS •Dental Disease •Future Dental Care Dental Health Month Dental Disease

August is Dental Health Month.

We are offering discounts on all dental procedures during the month of August.

We have free samples of dental products for your pet to try!

Contact the clinic on 52811221 for more information.

How much do you know about your pets teeth? Many pet owners don’t think about their pets teeth often enough with the result that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats suffer from dental disease by the age of three.

As most of us don’t look at our pet’s teeth on a daily basis, we don’t realise that dental disease is developing. The result is many pets unnecessarily suffer tooth loss and gum infection.

Thanks to advances that have been made in veterinary medicine and increased public awareness of how to look after our pets, our dogs and cats are now living longer. Therefore, it is important their teeth last a long time too.

Our canine and feline companions had ancestors who behaved like wolves and lions. Catching and eating their food - fur and bones provided excellent cleaning actions for their teeth. Now we deliver their food for them, often soft food, which decreases chewing and allows food to stick to teeth and be the building block of plaque.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is inflammation of some or all of a tooths deep supporting structures.

If food particles and bacteria are allowed to accumulate along the gumline it can form plaque, which, when combined with saliva and minerals will tranform into calculus. This causes gum irritation and leads to an inflammatory condition called gingivitis After an extended period the calculus builds up under the gum and separates it from the teeth. Spaces will form under the teeth, fostering bacterial growth. This usually leads to tissue destruction and pus formation in the cavities between the gum and teeth.

Treatment:

If your pet is showing any signs of gum disease it is important that treatment is started immediately before irreversible damage occurs.

In the majority of our pets lives there comes a time when their teeth require veterinary treatment over and above regular examinations.

The only way to fully assess the mouth is to perform an examination while your pet is anaesthetised. We use a dental probe to measure loss of attachment around each tooth. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease.

Symptoms:

• Bad breath is more than likely due to bad teeth.

• Discoloured teeth.

• Loose teeth.

• Pawing at the mouth, dental disease hurts.

• Receding gums.

• Excessive drooling.

• Facial swelling.

• Pain when handled around the head.

Leigh News August 2015-Peter.indd 8

8/12/2015 12:43:58 PM

August 2015

If your pet has mild dental disease consisting of gingivitis without any bone loss, a thorough dental clean using an ultrasonic scaler followed by dental polishing and sometimes antibiotics will help reverse the problem.

If there has been a loss of the supporting structures around the teeth we may need to apply antibiotics beneath the gums and perform dental procedures which may includes tooth extractions. Your pet would be discharged from hospital on a course of antibiotics and pain relief.

After teeth are cleaned, you can decrease the rate of future tartar formation by following these suggestions.

1. Feed hard or coarse food rather than soft canned food, You may want to consider a prescription food such as Hills T/D. The kibble is designed not to shatter immediately when bitten into.

Instead, the tooth penetrates the kibble and deposits of plaque and debris are wiped for the surface.

2. Feed fresh whole raw bones - the larger the better, with excess fat removed.

3. Provide rawhide, hard rubber, and nylon chew toys.

4.‘Greenies’ are dental treats for cats and dogs shaped like a toothbrush. Being hard and chewy, a greenie works to mechanically clean the teeth as your pet gnaws on the treat.

5. ‘Healthymouth’ water additive - this has enzymatice properties that help reduce the formation of plaque on teeth.

GOLDEN PLAINS SHIRE COUNCIL PASSES ANOTHER BUDGET FULL OF PROMISE. Whilst it appears the rate increase for 2015-2016 in the Golden Plains Shire (GPS) has been kept to 5.26%, the ad valorem is 7.59%.

The budget full of promise of ‘belt tightening’ measures as stated by Mayor Phelan was passed without change, by a vote of 5 – 2 by Council on the 23rd June 2015.

Question is – where is this “belt tightening”? The on-the-agenda refurbishment of the Pope St GPS Council Offices has been put on the back burner and this gets a tick from the ratepayers group Voice & Action G.P.S.Inc., but other savings listed (as shown in the budget paper) are nothing but expenses on the peripheral of cost cutting measures. The items listed as reviewed and cut included memberships, expos, openings and events, should have had a serious review prior to this year’s budget and had the belt tightened a notch on them a few years back.

Voice & Action also notes the omission of a vision, a plan which is not conveyed at all in the budget. For ratepayers there is no real sense of where we the Shire – are going except to face more increases of rates, of staff numbers, of service fees, of on-going substantial debt levels...

One thing is certain after reading this budget paper – Council will be sticking to their Council Plan and the Strategic Resource Plan (SRP). At all cost, these will be followed, and it’s spelt out in the SRP “rates need to increase so Council has less reliance on grants” - we ratepayer’s will be facing more rate increases. With two short statements in this budget paper in regard to the proposed rate capping next year, Voice & ActionG.P.S.Inc. are concerned with the perspective of Council as to how this will be dealt with, as it’s stated “(rate capping) will deplete Councils future resources to deliver infrastructure and programs for the community” and (council will) “reduce the level of ratepayer subsidy for services provided to the community”.

The minimal $19 dollar reduction in the budget for the Waste service fee, is not a true reflection of what has now been implemented – a cut in the waste service pick-up in townships from weekly to fortnightly - with no green waste or hard rubbish service or tips of convenience to a large number of G.P.S. ratepayer’s.

THROUGH THE GARDEN GATE Christine Windle, Garden Gate Nursery, Inverleigh

Weather Once upon a time, up until about the 1980s, rain in Inverleigh was predicted by the movement of ants, the flying over of black cockatoos, the look of the clouds, the colour of the sky at sunrise and sunset, or by a ‘feeling’ which could be in particular joints or simply the result of the sum of a life’s experience in relation to rain events. Likewise, frost could be anticipated by a clear sky and the feel of the chill late in the afternoon. Now we tend to rely on internet weather sites such as the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) site, along with the town specific MetEye, where we can check out the wind at different hours as well as rainfall and temperature.

The seven day forecasts are so useful because they give you time to prepare your garden for the weather. High winds later in the week means pop out and securing loose items now, frost means look out the covers and pouring rain means enjoy some gardening books, dream and make plans. It does seem to us that the weather has been ‘unseasonable’ of late. Do you recall last September/October, when hot days interrupted spring? January was mild with considerable rain and the roadsides not as dried up and brown as usual.

Autumn thought that a half-hearted effort would do before handing over to unrelenting cold, rain, rain, wind, rain – on and on – from the middle of April. Now we are in winter, we have had some T-shirt days and a week of fine dry weather has been forecast.

Knowing the range of weather you can expect is important to gardeners. It is sensible to match the majority of our plantings to our situations – growing the range of plants, including indigenous ones, which cope with our climatic conditions readily. Selecting others, which originate from places where the weather is fairly close to ours, may need more careful placement but will usually be successful. Other plants, ones that do not like our natural conditions can still be grown if their needs are met by modifying parts of your environment or looking for microclimates within your garden. An example would be making use of the extra warmth stored in thermal masses such as brick walls and water tanks to keep the temperature warmer for frost sensitive plants. Another good tip is to plant frost sensitive plants to the west of a group of shrubs, enabling some protection from the other plants and some time to thaw out before the morning sun hits them.

A sign of the change to cold weather and the turning of the seasons is the autumn foliage on deciduous trees. The ornamental pears, nashis, crab apples, liquid ambers, claret ash and Japanese maples were really superb this year in our area. Deciduous trees evolved in climates where a period of dormancy over the cold time enabled them to survive.

Leigh News August 2015-Peter.indd 11

Damage to leaves is not a problem if there are no leaves left to damage. The new leaves on a deciduous plant only come when growth is triggered by a certain amount of cold being followed by a significant rise in temperature.

Ups and downs in the weather can result in plants which are responding to temperature stimuli in what, to us, appear to be crazy ways. Gardeners are not usually terribly concerned by some erratic behaviour from their deciduous ornamental plants but changes in weather patterns can wreak havoc with the productivity of fruit trees. Many fruits and nuts require a certain number of chill hours below about seven degrees centigrade to be able to set fruit. The idea of ‘chill hours’ helps to explain why particular trees do better in some areas than others.

Although most nurseries sell plants to suit their regions, it is well worth asking for advice regarding your particular area. In recent years we have had apples that have flowered twice with a resulting poor crop and apricots that flowered heavily early but were hit by frosts and had virtually no fruit. In addition to temperature, wind can also be a problem with fruit and branches damaged and pollinators not inclined to be on the job. While this is not too bad for the home orchardist, it would be hard to bear if your livelihood depended on the vagaries of the weather. In addition, changes over time to weather patterns are making some previously grown fruits no longer viable.

We take four distinct seasons we still experience here for granted. Not so a man we met in Singapore, who told us that one of the highlights of his visit to Melbourne had been the autumn leaves. I wasn’t sure what he meant until he explained how magical it had been to see coloured leaves falling from the trees. I had been raving over the lush tropical plants, the enormous leaves with stripes of maroon, pink, yellow and orange, the spectacular orchids and the multitude of climbers. These he dismissed with a wave of his hand, beautiful but so ordinary to him and so ever present. Close to the equator, Singapore has two ‘seasons’ – wet and dry, although their version of ‘dry’ is not what we are used to and can include tropical downpours. Inevitably, such a different climate with day after day of humidity and 30 °C supports a different range of plants to the ones we usually grow.

I do enjoy the changes that our climate brings.

Winter has its own gorgeous colours and shapes in our garden. Glossy variegated pink and orange leaves on coprosmas, changed from their green and yellow summer colours, are really spectacular. Nandinas are dressed in their winter shades of maroon and red. Birds are feasting on delicate tubular shaped Correa

flowers and my favourite wattle, the Flinders Ranges wattle, is a haze of lemon blossoms.

Daisies are rioting in pinks, whites, blues and yellows while the beautiful Alygyone, our gorgeous native hibiscus, is elegantly covered in large purple flowers. Bare branches provide us with chance to focus on sculptural tree forms and the colours, patterns and textures of bark. So let’s enjoy the winter, embrace the cold weather, rain, even the frost and the wind, all of which would be novelties and highlights for a Singaporean.

SYLVIA FAULKNER:

printed on carbon neutral paper

24/03/1925 – 24/06/2015

Sylvia Faulkner was born at Quambatook in 1925 and was one of eight children.

Her family were farmers at Towaninnie where she went to school by horse and gig. After completing her merit certificate in eighth grade she left school to help look after sick relatives and work at home on the farm.

In 1941 her parents purchased a dairy farm at Kerang East. Sylvia together with her brother and sister moved to run the farm. It was here that she met Len Faulkner and they later married in 1945.

They lived on his dairy farm for a short period before moving to Inverleigh, where they purchased their dairy farm in Common Road. Sylvia and Len had three children, Marj, Ian & Lyn. They continued to milk cows until the 1970’s when they converted to beef cattle.

Sylvia loved her garden and was involved in many community activities.

She was very active with the Methodist church including teaching Sunday school until the church closed. She played tennis, was also involved with the Inverleigh school mothers club and was a member of Red Cross for over 40 years. She was happy to help cater for various community events including the street stalls and was involved with home help for many years.

Later in life her interests were swimming and walking groups. She enjoyed Senior Citizens and their bus trips. Sylvia was also involved with Inverleigh Bowls Club and was an early member and an office bearer. In 2009 after Len’s passing she moved to a retirement village in Geelong until July 2013 when due to her health she moved to Bannockburn Aged Care.

Sylvia is survived by Marj and Ian plus five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

GARTH ALLEN

1938 – 2015

Teesdale identity Garth Allen passed away in July and sympathy is extended to his wife Margaret and children Tim, Nigel, Kate and Nick and their families.

Garth lived in this district all his life, and has contributed to local community groups and sporting clubs in that time. He followed his passion for fine wool in establishing an excellent flock on the family farm at Teesdale. This interest in wool saw Garth, the farmer and woolclasser, become a respected instructor at the Gordon Tech Wool School and his involvement in the Legacy Fleece Show in Geelong.

His sporting interests included many years as a steward at the harness racing, playing tennis for Teesdale and more recently a member of the Inverleigh Golf Club.

As a footballer he was a member of the 1961 Inverleigh Premiership team in his debut year and kicked a goal in the Grand Final.

The coach at that time was the local policeman Harold Crowe, John Thomas was Captain and Alan Peel, Vice-Captain. There are happy memories of his time at the local dances, his open sports car and allegiance to the Richmond Football Club..

Always ready for a chat, Garth will be sadly missed.

When someone you love becomes a memory the memory becomes a treasure

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Cr Des Phelan

We’ve had a busy couple of months.

The Digital Events Calendar, goldenplainsdigital.com.au/events, was launched, putting community events and training opportunities in one central spot for our residents.

In the north of Shire, work has commenced on the Dereel Men’s Shed. Community development activity has continued in Bannockburn which is now home to a new roundabout, and in Batesford which has received a fantastic 1.4km footpath.

Coming up on Tuesday 11 August, successful applicants from our Community Grants Program for 2015-16 will gather for a civic celebration at the Rokewood Memorial Hall. I look forward to presenting to our wonderful recipients; formally congratulating them on their efforts in the application process and recognising how valuable their community-mindedness and commitment is to our Shire and to Council.

A well-known stretch of the Midland

growing Shire, and Council will continue to lobby for improvements and upgrades that create a safer, more connected and technologically stronger Golden Plains.

It’s been announced that Batesford, Inverleigh, Lethbridge, Meredith and Teesdale will receive new fixed wireless towers. Ten fixed wireless towers have already been built across the Shire and these additional five will significantly broaden our residents’ access to muchneeded fast broadband. The NBN rollout will continue to expand across the Shire and we’ll let you know as soon as more announcements come through.

Highway, where the GheringhapFyansford Road meets it, will undergo a $2.48 million State Government upgrade.

Included in the plan is a new roundabout, which will encourage drivers to approach the intersection at a safer speed, giving motorists more time to make decisions.

Given the number of accidents and traffic movements along this strip, this new infrastructure will increase safety and, quite possibly, save lives. It’s expected the work will be complete sometime in 2017.

Telstra has also announced that it has added more ADSL ports in Inverleigh, and that an upgrade to Bannockburn Telstra’s exchange is scheduled for October. These upgrades allow more people to connect to broadband.

Further to our widespread telecommunications upgrades, Dereel and Steiglitz are set to receive two new mobile phone towers as part of the Federal Government’s Mobile Blackspot Programme.

Access to reliable telecommunications is still an issue for many parts of our rapidly

WHITE PAPER IS A STRONG PLAN FOR LOCAL FARMERS Sarah Henderson, Federal Member for Corangamite, today welcomed the release of the Commonwealth Government’s Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper.“For the first time, Australia has a long-term plan to make agriculture stronger”, said Ms Henderson. Ms Henderson said the Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper is a vital part of our plan to build a strong, prosperous economy and a safe, secure Australia.

“A strong agriculture sector contributes to a strong economy—and that means more jobs, more exports, higher incomes and better services to the community.

“We’re determined to make the sector even more competitive and to deliver practical actions that will keep our farmers and farming families profitable and resilient.“We are lowering tax, cutting red and green tape, building infrastructure, encouraging trade, and supporting business to innovate and create jobs.

“I’m pleased that the Government is delivering lower, simpler and fairer taxes for our farmers.

“We have already abolished the Carbon Tax and the Growing Jobs and Small Business package announced in the Budget will benefit 97 per cent of farmers”, said Ms Henderson.

The White Paper and the 2015 Budget deliver a better tax system for farm businesses by enabling: • banks to allow farmers to use FMDs as a business loan offset, reducing interest costs estimated at up to $150 million a year, from 1 July 2016; • farmers to opt back into income tax averaging after 10 years, from 1 July 2016;

• farmers to double their Farm Management Deposits (FMDs) to $800,000, from 1 July 2016; • immediate tax deduction for fencing; • immediate tax deduction of the cost of new water infrastructure; and •accelerated three-year depreciation of capital expenditure on fodder assets.

The Government will also invest $11.4 million to boost ACCC engagement with the agricultural sector including a new Commissioner expert in agriculture.

“A more farm-savvy and proactive ACCC will encourage fairtrading and strengthen competition in agricultural supply chains” The White Paper builds on the Government’s investments to build 21st century water, transport and communications infrastructure, including a new National Water Infrastructure Fund.

“The Government’s $500 million National Water Infrastructure Fund will provide future water security for our farmers” Ms Henderson said “I also welcome the Government’s announcement of an additional $60 million on top of the $100 million Mobile Black Spot Programme to improve mobile coverage across regional Australia.”

Australia will always stand by farmers in drought.

Including initiatives announced in the 2015 Budget, the White Paper provides long-term support for famers when they need it most: • up to $250 million in Drought Concessional Loans each year for 11 years; • $22.8 million to increase Farm Household

17

Allowance case management for farmers; • increased financial counselling services and improved access to community mental health; • access for farmers to their Farm Management Deposits when needed, without losing tax concessions; • $35 million for local infrastructure projects to help communities suffering due to drought; • $25.8 million over four years to manage pest animals and weeds in drought-affected areas; and • advice and help from the Australian Taxation Office.

Ms Henderson said the Government is opening new export markets and will protect Australia’s highly prized biosecurity status, which underpins our valuable exports.

“The Government has successfully delivered the trifecta of free trade agreements with Japan, the Republic of Korea and China – this will deliver new opportunities for our farmers”, said Ms Henderson “I am delighted that the White Paper includes $200 million to improve biosecurity which will help ensure Australia’s premium products remain top quality and $30.8 million to break down technical barriers to trade and appointing five new overseas Agriculture Counsellors”, said Ms Henderson “Together we are building a stronger, more productive, more profitable and more sustainable Australian agriculture sector.”

Sarah Henderson encouraged farmers and residents wanting to know more about the Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper to visit agwhitepaper.agriculture.gov.au

2015 CALENDAR

22 historical

One of the really ‘interesting’ aspects of preparing an essay on a historical document is to find out you have been barking up the wrong tree. Consequently information has to be checked, corrected and rewritten.

The July photo in the IHS calendar is just such a case in point.

Correction: This is the 1925 Bannockburn football team, winners of the Mathison Cup photographed beside the Bannockburn Hall.

The defeated Anakie 7.12 to 6.4. This team included several Inverleigh based players because Inverleigh did not field a team in 1925.

How do we know: Well, a sharp eyed member was having coffee at a Bannockburn café where a named image is proudly on the wall. Our collection copy of the un-named photo has been incorrectly attributed.

It would appear that some ruction within the football club had them only applying to join the association in late April. The teams were Meredith, Elaine, Bannockburn, Lethbridge, Lal Lal, and Anakie. Inverleigh was not admitted.

Inverleigh did win the Mathison Cup in 1927 and in 1926 they played in the Polwarth cup

being runners-up to Winchelsea. Around this time the road between Winchelsea and Inverleigh was poorly made and supporters decided to try a short cut. Up to 10 vehicles were stuck at one time and two had to be left behind and reclaimed the next day.

The road was used for the return journey.

The State Government has announced a $2.48 million upgrade to a well-known danger zone on the Midland Highway, with the project due for completion in 2017.

The popular intersection, where GheringhapFyansford Road meets the Highway, will undergo an impressive transformation that will include a roundabout, improved line marking, designated bike lanes and new street lighting.

Mayor Councilor Des Phelan said the upgrade will create a significantly safer passage for motorists.

“This is fantastic news for residents of Golden Plains. The condition of the road is going to be improved, visibility will be considerably enhanced and the roundabout will reduce risks of accidents, which is very important to us,” Cr Phelan said.

The perilous T-intersection that features a merged lane has a track record of car crashes, including serious head-on collisions.

“The roundabout will encourage drivers to approach the intersection slowly and give motorists more time to make decisions,”

Media Release Tuesday 30 June, 2015 LET’S GET IT SORTED!

New Waste and Recycle Service Begins Golden Plains Shire residents will soon see the new Let’s Get It Sorted collection vehicles in their communities as Council’s new waste and recycling contract with Transpacific Cleanaway begins from 1 July 2015.

Mayor Cr Des Phelan said a new website, letsgetitsorted.com.au, is now available to residents to assist in the transition to a weekly recycling service and a fortnightly waste service.

Cr Phelan explains, “The website provides a range of handy information about the new service and how everyone can work towards reducing household waste and the amount of waste going into landfill.”

According to Zero Waste South Australia, a government website, the average Australian is putting the equivalent of 3 average sized fridges of waste into garbage bins per annum. The site also reports that the average household is throwing out a fifth of its groceries annually; this is food we have purchased and not consumed and is costing households over

said Cr Phelan.

More than a welcome change for commuters, the upgrade will function as excellent supporting infrastructure for the Gheringhap Employment Precinct, a 130 hectare parcel of land earmarked for industrial and commercial development, and job creation. Furthermore, the intersection’s improvement will create opportunities for other developments in the area.

With this stretch of Midland Highway reported to have 13,000 traffic movements per day – 65% of which are daily commuters – the improvements will provide a significant safety step-up for everyone driving through.

Cr Phelan explains, “This really is fantastic for the many Golden Plains Shire residents who pass through the intersection, particularly for motorists concerned with this dangerous area. It’s going to give commuters some peace of mind and, quite possibly, save lives.

Media Release Friday 24 July HADDON INTERSECTION TO UNDERGO $391,000 UPGRADE The Australian Government has announced a $391,000 improvement to a problem Haddon intersection as part of its nationwide $500M Black Spot Programme.

Haddon’s dangerous junction involving Sago Hill Road, Bells Road and Kopkes Road joins 137 black spots in Victoria that have been selected for much-needed upgrades.

Mayor Councilor Des Phelan said Council is very grateful for the Black Spot funding.

“This particular area in Haddon has seen numerous car accidents; some of which have resulted in fatalities,” said Councillor Phelan.

The intersection will undergo significant changes to improve safety for motorists and reduce the risk of accidents. Approaches to the intersection via Kopkes Road and Bells Road will be slightly moved, lighting will be installed and delineation and warning signage will be improved.

“Since VicRoads crash records began in 1987, there have been ten casualty crashes recorded at the intersection; 6 of these have been cross-traffic accidents,” Councillor Phelan said of the dangerous road area.

“By staggering approaches to the intersection, the risk of cross-traffic accidents is significantly reduced, and the lighting and signage will be a great help too,” added Cr Phelan.

“The Haddon intersection met the Black Spot Programme’s strict funding criteria, which took into account the number of fatal and serious accidents at the site and the upgrade’s capacity to reduce serious crashes,” Cr Phelan said.

Project planning for the upgrade is yet to commence, but Council will keep residents informed all the way.

Cr Phelan explains, “While this is wonderful news, we’ll continue to lobby VicRoads and State and Federal Governments for improvements to other black spots in Golden Plains.”

$1000 per year.

“While it is a major change for our communities, the new service is going to help reduce waste to landfill, save residents money and reduce environmental impact,” said Cr Phelan.

“The new Waste and Recycling Service fees and charges for 2015-16 have been reduced from previous years as a direct result of the changed service,” Cr Phelan said. The new fees & charges are as follows:

WHERE: Douro Street, North Geelong PH: (03) 5272 2613.

Garbage & Recycling Service - $200.00 per annum (plus State Landfill Levy of $38.00)

Residents are able to take additional household waste to: Rokewood Tip (landfill)

BALLARAT TRANSFER STATION WHERE: Gillies Street, Ballarat PH: 5334 2621.

“Council is very grateful for everyone’s efforts to adjust to this significant change – thank you. Together, we can make a difference,” said Cr Phelan.

Discover Dairy

Picasso Cows is a FREE curriculum program run by Dairy Australia, which encourages teachers to educate primary school-aged children about the Australian dairy industry and the health and nutrition benefits of dairy foods as part of a balanced diet.

VISIT BY INVERLEIGH POLICE

PICASSO COW

As you may be aware we have been lucky enough to get our hands on a Dairy Australia Picasso Cow, which the children have named Shelley. There were only 10 of these cows distributed in the Geelong region.

A Picasso Cow is a life size fibreglass cow which the children paint with their own designs. They learn about dairy foods and healthy eating, and the dairy industry along the way, and on 30th July we presented our completed cow at a function in Geelong.

Our Grades 2 – 6 children spent the day at the Shell Club with staff and students from the 10 other schools in the region who had cows. There were teacher and student quizzes, a chance to discuss art techniques and ideas with other schools, and even a milking competition.

Many thanks to all the staff, students and parents who made the project such a success.

MVA ATHS SPORTS

We recently attended the MVA Aths Sports as a Gr 3-6 group.

The weather was not with us unfortunately and the sports had to be abandoned with just over half of the events completed. Freya Wallis has advanced to the next round for shot putt and discuss. I would like to congratulate the children for the way they represented our school at the sports, and thank the parents who came and helped.

Our school was recently visited by Senior Constable Chris Reynolds recently.

He spoke to us about his work in the police force, and reminded us of all the ways that the police are here to help us. The children all enjoyed the visit and learnt a lot. Some of them even got to experience handcuffs first hand.

Many thanks to Senior Chris for coming out. to our school.

TEESDALE PRIMARY

Welcome back to everyone. I hope you enjoyed some relaxing time during the term break. Have you had a chance to see some of the improvements that have been happening in the school over the holidays?

The Gallery building has had a complete makeover and we now have a very comfortable and much warmer learning environment. All the students are really enjoying the fresh new paint and carpet, making it all cleaner and fresher and much more inviting. Hopefully all the new concrete walkways and our “shoes off” policy will help to keep the internal areas of the school cleaner. Our Sick Bay is also looking more welcoming and the new cupboards and arrangements will make it a very pleasant and workable space to help students who need care. Our hard court surfaces now have a smooth coloured surface and will be serviceable to our school for many years to come. In the next week, depending on the weather, the new lines will be marked out on the re-surfaced courts. This will make a world of difference for games and we are looking forward to seeing this completed.

We were pleased to have a visit recently from Ms Sarah Henderson MP who toured our upgraded school facilities. She chatted with the students and staff and officially presented the school with a brand new flag.

It was exciting to hear her speak about the new projects planned for Teesdale and the surrounding areas. Thank you Ms Henderson for taking the time to visit our school.

The School Council met recently and was briefed on the Principal Selection Process which they will undertake this term. The Department has very clear guidelines regarding this process and the confidentiality around it, but all members had the opportunity to provide input and nominate to form part of the selection panel. From this point on, the process will be conducted by the selection panel which contains 2 senior members nominated by the Secretary of the Department, 2 School Council members and a staff representative. It is anticipated that a new School Principal appointment will be made to commence in term 4.

Leigh News August 2015-Peter.indd 27

Thanks to all the parents and past students who assisted us at the MVA Athletic Sports.

A specific thank you to Miss Meagan Lowe for coordinating the day. Unfortunately we can’t control the weather, but all students performed very well in the activities they completed and are to be commended for dealing so positively with the conditions.

At assembly on Friday, August 7th we will be holding a Book Launch to celebrate the publication of a book created by the 5/6 students. This was a collaborative exercise with the community and it will be very exciting for the students to see the final published result of their work.

We hope you can come along and share their success. Thanks particularly to Mrs Southall, Mr Linden and community members for assisting in this project.

Congratulations to the following students who were presented with awards at the final term assembly: Luke Turnbull, James Weatherly, Kaiden Nadolski, Caylan Wilkie, Emma Goldsworthy and Joshua Meehan.

Well done!

The grade 5/6 students had lots of fun at Phillip Island Adventure Camp. We got to see the fairy penguins, the pelican feeding, fall from an 18 metre giant swing, fly across the flying fox, canoe in the lake the shape of Australia and much more. Even though it was very cold sometimes we really enjoyed all the activities we got to do!

Welcome back grade 5/6s to the Kitchen Garden Program for term 3. Our focus this term is on recycling and reducing waste.

In the garden for example, we’ll use bricks and tyres to create some interesting garden features. Each group will choose a project to work on during the term in addition to our usual program of growing a productive food garden. In the kitchen we’ll be making the most of everything we grow, although there wasn’t much purple broccoli left for the kitchen after the garden class

sampled it fresh from the garden last week!

Great to see everyone trying it and from all accounts really enjoying it too! Look out for our very own Kitchen Garden Program Facebook page!

MS Readathon - It’s that time of the year again!

So dust off your books, tablets and e-readers and register at: www.msreadathon.or.au You will be able to set up your own fundraising page, invite sponsors, keep your fundraising blog and record books that you have read. The program is open to all ages, as little as $50 will help a newly diagnosed person attend an information session where they can learn about their diagnosis and get much needed support.

Our Parents and Friends Association (PFA) held an Alphabet Soup and Quiche Lunch Day. It was certainly a yummy winter warm up food and enjoyed by students and staff.

Great effort! Thank you everyone!

This term is a busy one with 2 weeks of swimming in the last weeks of term. More information regarding this will be sent home with costs and times allowing time for you to budget and plan. Swimming forms a very important part of our PE program in term 3 so we hope as many students as possible are able to participate.

The intensive nature of the program allows children to make great progress in a short space of time.

August is enrolment time at Teesdale PS. Look out for our Parent Information Session where we will be conducting tours of our school and handing out Enrolment Packs. For more information, contact the school on 5281 5218 or head to our website.

• It’s not OK to be away, unless you have the winter flu!

• August is enrolment month at Teesdale PS! • We look forward to our Principal Selection Process!
