Toy poodles are so ace. Not only are they adorably cute and cuddly, but they are hypo-allergenic and don’t shed any hair! Mount Eliza Village Magazine chatted with Jody, the owner/operator of Herbaceous House and Flowers in Mount Eliza Way, about her three lovely little larrikins and what they get up to. “We got our miniature poodles from a breeder in Bendigo and they all have such different personalities. Four-year-old Teddy likes to protect the family, which means barking all the time. Two-year-old Bella is

super bossy, while eight-month-old Rosie, who is my daughter’s puppy, is a real sweetheart. All she wants to do is play and play,” explains Jody. “We were never going to have three. It just happened. We got Bella because we thought Teddy needed a friend. Then my daughter moved back home with Rosie. They’ve all become inseparable now,” she continues. The terrific trio love the dog beach at Safety Beach and chowing down on anything that they’re not supposed to be eating. They also love their morning walks, afternoon plays at the dog park and plenty of cuddles on Ph: 9708 8222

the couch at the end of the day. All three of them sleep in the bed and get their noses out of joint when they’re not allowed. They also keep their respective brown, silver and apricot coats looking top notch with help from Mount Eliza’s own Groom Room. “They’re such a part of the family now. You put up with the barking and the accidents inside because you love them. We couldn’t imagine life without them. The first thing we noticed when taking over the business was that Mount Eliza was full of dogs.” Paws up to that!

Inspiring girls to pursue STEM Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, known as STEM, shapes our everyday lives and is critical to jobs in the future. To ensure the needs of women are represented in studies and in the design of products and services, it is essential that we inspire more women to participate in STEM. A recent study by Monash University found that girls in single-sex schools are more likely to study chemistry, advanced mathematics and physics when compared to their co-ed counterparts. Recognising this, Toorak College is leading the way with its new and innovative Science and Technology Centre.

Issue 41 • Autumn/Winter 2018

With construction commencing in April, the Centre will feature six biology, physics and chemistry super laboratories, a DIGI zone for coding and engineering, open learning areas and university-style lecture facilities, an entrepreneur pop-up space, collaborative learning spaces and an outside science courtyard and laboratory. Sir Gustav Nossal and Professor Anne Kelso were guest speakers at the Science and Technology Centre Gala Evening. “It was an honour and a privilege to have Sir Gustav Nossal join us,” says Principal Mrs Kristy Kendall. “His keynote speech celebrated four Australian superstars of STEM - Professor Suzanne Cory, Professor Fiona Stanley, Professor Michelle Simmons and Professor Ph: 9708 8222

I couldn’t help but be inspired by his stories of female success and his plea to us as educators to focus on the fun of Science. “We know our new Science and Technology Centre will shine a spotlight on scientific thinking, ensuring our students are equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to be ready for a lifetime of experimentation and understanding.” To find out more, visit toorakcollege.vic.edu.au Shop Taste Indulge

Sustainability and the girl from Oz BY LIZ ROGERS

Lucy Wilby has been on Earth for almost a quarter of a century and has worked in public relations for Peninsula Health, as a Facebook content specialist in the Australian Market in San Francisco, and since returning home to her beloved Mornington Peninsula has started up her own 100 per cent sustainable Charcoal Toothbrush business online. Busy much? Entrepreneurial much? Just a tad. This capable creative grew up in Mount Eliza, completed her schooling at Toorak College and now lives with her parents in Merricks. One of the projects close to her heart is The Charcoal Toothbrush (thecharcoaltoothbrush.com), which came about after she was exposed to alternative ways of living in San Francisco, where the sustainable and conscious way of living movement is in full swing. “People really care about the environment there and look for ways to contribute to a sustainable lifestyle. Change is easier when you start off with one thing. That’s why I chose toothbrushes. We use them every day and they are such a disposable item. If everyone in Australia used The Charcoal Toothbrush instead of a plastic toothbrush, we could avoid putting 30 million plastic toothbrushes into landfill each year, and ultimately into the ocean where marine life is seriously affected. “Most dentists recommend you replace your toothbrush at least every three months. A Charcoal Toothbrush has activated charcoal-infused bristles which are great for detoxifying and deodorising your mouth, plus it has a biodegradable bamboo handle which means it will break down. “I’m dedicated to making people aware that small changes can make big differences. I also work in collaboration with the Ethical Straw Co. You’ve got to start somewhere.” Yes, we do. This forward-looking young woman cares about her Earth. Our Earth. Since its inception in 2016, The Charcoal Toothbrush has helped reduce the number of plastic toothbrushes going to landfill by 50,000 units. A poignant reminder to tread lightly, folks. One step at a time.

There is a ‘Henrietta’ for every home

“We create an individual package for every booking”, says Stephanie Tate, director of Henrietta’s Help @ Home, “and that’s not a complaint.”

Clients want this, and staff love to have the variety. Even cleaning jobs vary according to each client’s lifestyle and priorities. Running the multi-faceted in-home service agency was initially a challenge but the rewards came fast. Clients were quick to realise they could expand the brief with nannies taking up home duties during sleep time or cooking the evening meal before school pick-up. Elderly clients also want the option to change the routine when their senior support carer arrives, for either home or external activities or even respite for one of the partners. Trusted, flexible relationships have clients booking a variety of skilled ‘Henriettas’ for all parts of family life, including special family events when wait staff are needed to allow host clients to be 100 per cent focused on their guests.

Tyre service with a smile No one does customer service in the tyre and automotive industry quite like The Tyre Place in Mornington. The team members at this boutique business put the personal touch into everything they do. That’s because this is a genuine family-owned and operated business!

Family Owned & Operated 34

Andrew, wife Sandy and their son Jake work together at The Tyre Place. Theirs is a friendly approach where customers are put at ease and welcomed with a smile when they arrive for a car service or a tyre change. Sandy’s friendly approach in the front office is a hit with female clients and with parents. “It can be quite intimidating for women to come into a workshop,” she explains. “We get a lot of dads booking their daughters in and a lot of them ask if I’m going to be here when they come in.” Andrew, Sandy and Jake greet their regulars by name and take time to discuss their automotive needs. It’s the personal touch that can make a smaller player stand out from the crowd. The Tyre Place covers all your tyre and automotive needs, including routine services, mechanical repairs, suspension, batteries, wheels, brakes and more.

For your Dental Health – EXPERIENCE MATTERS! Dr Scott Robertson has been a “fixture” in Mt Eliza for nearly 30 years. Dental Care Mt Eliza – Health Dentistry – is about longevity, beauty, health and function. It’s great to do Awesome Smiles – Balancing the Art and Science that Modern Dentistry has to offer, along with a depth of understanding that comes from a lifetime of Professional Dental Experience here in the same practice at Mt Eliza. “The Art of a Smile is Balance - and meeting the expectations that the patient has,” says Dr Scott Robertson. “Beautiful isn’t always Bright and White – it’s matching the personality to the Smile.” Leonardo Di Vinci’s golden proportions come into everything in nature, especially teeth and their position in space relative to the lips and gums which are the curtain of the Smile. Dr Scott Robertson combines the knowledge of aesthetics and the eye of an artist to accomplish the best outcomes for you. Advanced Orthodontics, Soft Tissue Laser and amazing Laboratory fabrications are the secrets of our success. The position of jaws and the underlying bony structures of the face can be altered with modern dental and orthodontic techniques, so it’s important to have a “Vision” for the outcome and a thorough understanding of the underlying neuromuscular function and mechanics of the orofacial structures.

Worn teeth, collapsed dentition and complicated 3D puzzles in the mouth and jaw are an important part of our practice. We would love to have the opportunity to discuss your unique dental and orofacial issues with you. We love to solve your dental problems. Your problems are just a solution waiting to happen!

radical results. 3D scanning technology uses a hand-held camera to take thousands of high-definition photos of the teeth, which are then used to create a 3D model of the jaw.

Mount Eliza goes Pop! BY LIZ ROGERS

Looking for a place where locals love to linger? Then look no further than Pop & Selma’s Café in the heart of Mount Eliza, where great food and coffee go hand in hand. This authentic eatery has sidewalk and intimate interior dining and a space out the back dedicated to parents with prams and courtyard-loving people. Cosy, friendly and full of sensational smells wafting from the kitchen, Pops offers a little slice of different for those living the vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free lifestyle. It also has an all-day breakfast menu that runs from 6.30am, which is great for tradies looking to satisfy their early-morning hunger. Free-range eggs, bacon, seasoned mushrooms, grilled roma tomatoes and wilted spinach on ciabatta goes down a treat. Drop by Pop & Selma’s Café to experience real Mount Eliza Village hospitality and enjoy a bevy on Sunday afternoons when live music takes centre stage. It’s licensed!

The underlining meaning about The Girl & Bull is “fearless”. Story goes a little like this: girl meets bull, bull charges at girl, girl stares down bull, bull is tamed. We wanted to name our own establishment with something that had a significant meaning yet was quite different. Everybody wants to stand out. How would you describe The Girl & Bull

Good enough for Mum The Ryman story began when company co-founder Kevin Hickman visited an aged-care facility and was appalled. Kevin believed there was a better way to care for our elderly, so he teamed up with John Ryder to start a company with one simple aim – providing aged care that is ‘good enough for Mum’.

Over the past 30 years, Ryman villages have evolved to include resort-style amenities

Issue 41 • Autumn/Winter 2018

with indoor swimming pools, bowling greens, cafés and hair and beauty salons. There are two Ryman villages in Wheelers Hill, with others proposed for Burwood East, Coburg, Geelong, Mount Eliza and Mount Martha. Ryman villages offer independent living, assisted living in a serviced apartment, low care, high care and specialist dementia care, with nine exclusive peace of mind guarantees including fixed fees for life*, deferred management fee capped at 20 per cent and no refurbishment or hidden costs. Ph: 9708 8222

Not all retirement villages are the same. Ryman Healthcare prides itself on delivering retirement living differently. Its Ryman Triple A exercise program, regular activities, events and outings invigorate and connect. If you’re after care that’s good enough for your mum or dad, look no further than Ryman Healthcare, where dignity, privacy and community go hand in hand. *Terms and conditions apply.
