Wellington Shire Council is proud to present Plume an exhibition of recent works by Melbourne painter Stephen Giblett at its Gipp-sland Art Gallery Sale
Stephen Giblett came to the attention of Gippsland audiences as the runner-up of the 2010 John Leslie Art Prize In that year he exhibited a large painting of dying flowers which many visitors assumed to be a photograph
Giblett continues his preoccupation with photorealism in Plume a collection of eight new paintings produced specifically for the Gippsland Art Gallery which depict houses engulfed in flames
Since the John Leslie Art Prize Giblett has begun making work about the recent collapse of the United States housing bubble and the effect this financial collapse has had on the rest of the world Stephen Gib-lett works from photographs but applies a distinctive lsquoblurrsquo to each of his paintings Many have a faded and nostalgic feel that will also have an emotional resonance for survivors of Australian bushfires There is a sense that these domestic-scale events are of an epic proportion For most of these paintings the artist has sourced the smoke plume from large-scale disasters such as the explosion of Japanrsquos Fukushima Nu-clear Power Plant in 2011 and the eruption of Icelandrsquos volcano in 2010
See Plume at the Gippsland Art Gallery until 8 July 2012

June is rotary bowelscan monthldquoBowel cancer is the most com-
mon internal cancer affecting both men and women and the second most common cause of cancer related death after lung cancer This is especially the case for peo-ple over 50 with approximately 14000 new cases being diagnosed each year
About 90 Australians die of bowel cancer each week Many of these deaths could be prevented by early detection and treatmentrdquo (Tony Abbott Leader of the Op-position and former Minister for Health and Aging Howard Govt)
As a community service your
local Rotary clubs are conducting a scanning program in the Welling-ton local government area in May and are strongly urging residents over 40 or those with a history of bowel cancer in the family to avail themselves of this inexpensive and effective test The test is simple to complete and non intrusive
Bowel cancer can be treated successfully if detected in its ear-ly stages However only 40 of bowel cancers are detected early As a community service Rotary would like to change this and help people live longer and healthier lives

Access to interactive art has just become a reality with the opening of the Creative Gipps-land eMotion meets eArt exhi-bition at the Yarragon Arts Hub this week
Baw Baw Arts Alliance spokes-person Sue Keirnan said the idea behind the exhibition was to intro-duce a cross-section of local talent to much wider audiences either physically online or all in one hit
ldquoWersquove got this great line up of visual and musical artists from all over West Gippsland such as painter Janine Good and band Shy Robyn muscian and master guitardrum maker Roger Terrill and art-ists Sue Acheson Laurie Collins Tristan Throup Wendy Olsen and Lesley Bartlettrdquo said Ms Keirnan
So it seemed mad not to use everyday communication tools to get them into the regional lime-light or indeed anywhere on the planetrdquo
ldquoWe figured by simply us-
ing digital signposts such as QR codes and making iPhone films of our profile artists we could make it easy for audiences to see them see them anytime any place any-whererdquo
Using any smartphone with a downloaded QR code app visitors to the Arts Hub can scan each ex-hibit profile board and learn more intimately about each artistrsquos inter-pretation of the lsquoeMotionrsquo theme
These films can also be seen
online by visiting the Baw Baw Arts Alliance website wwwbaw-bawartsallianceorgau going to the Alliancersquos Facebook page and clicking on Like via YouTube by searching for lsquobawbawartsrsquo or visiting httptinyurlcombbaa-emotion
The eMotion meets eArt exhi-bition is now open to the public at the Arts Hub 2 Murray Street Yarragon and will then be open 10am-4pm Wed to Sun until 26 May 2012

The 2012 budget papers show that the government has made a deliberate decision to slam the door on Victoriarsquos bike riders
The foundation of the Statersquos bike infrastructure investment the Vi-cRoads Bicycle Program has been slashed to zero (Some commitments from previous budgets are still trickling through)
None of the high priority infrastructure projects which were planned for next year have been funded Desperately needed lanes signals inter-sections and other urgent safety improvements have been dropped

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment
The Gallery is situated at the corner of Forbes and Avon Sts Briagolong

tribution map can be found show-ing all 450 outlets where the Gipp-slander is circulated each month
Please support your local dis-tributors as without them this wouldnrsquot be possible
A full Market listing is also available updated regularly to en-able you to find which market is on where across Gippsland

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Just what do you do with your old faded tattered car seats Do you rip them out and replace them cover them with fake car seat covers or would a complete re-cover be the answer

tor trimmers that would satisfactorily complete your project with all the love and care as if you were doing it yourself

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Wellington Shire Council is proud to present Plume an exhibition of recent works by Melbourne painter Stephen Giblett at its Gipp-sland Art Gallery Sale
Stephen Giblett came to the attention of Gippsland audiences as the runner-up of the 2010 John Leslie Art Prize In that year he exhibited a large painting of dying flowers which many visitors assumed to be a photograph
Giblett continues his preoccupation with photorealism in Plume a collection of eight new paintings produced specifically for the Gippsland Art Gallery which depict houses engulfed in flames
Since the John Leslie Art Prize Giblett has begun making work about the recent collapse of the United States housing bubble and the effect this financial collapse has had on the rest of the world Stephen Gib-lett works from photographs but applies a distinctive lsquoblurrsquo to each of his paintings Many have a faded and nostalgic feel that will also have an emotional resonance for survivors of Australian bushfires There is a sense that these domestic-scale events are of an epic proportion For most of these paintings the artist has sourced the smoke plume from large-scale disasters such as the explosion of Japanrsquos Fukushima Nu-clear Power Plant in 2011 and the eruption of Icelandrsquos volcano in 2010
See Plume at the Gippsland Art Gallery until 8 July 2012

Baw Baw Arts Alliance spokes-person Sue Keirnan said the idea behind the exhibition was to intro-duce a cross-section of local talent to much wider audiences either physically online or all in one hit
ldquoWersquove got this great line up of visual and musical artists from all over West Gippsland such as painter Janine Good and band Shy Robyn muscian and master guitardrum maker Roger Terrill and art-ists Sue Acheson Laurie Collins Tristan Throup Wendy Olsen and Lesley Bartlettrdquo said Ms Keirnan
So it seemed mad not to use everyday communication tools to get them into the regional lime-light or indeed anywhere on the planetrdquo
ldquoWe figured by simply us-
ing digital signposts such as QR codes and making iPhone films of our profile artists we could make it easy for audiences to see them see them anytime any place any-whererdquo
Using any smartphone with a downloaded QR code app visitors to the Arts Hub can scan each ex-hibit profile board and learn more intimately about each artistrsquos inter-pretation of the lsquoeMotionrsquo theme
These films can also be seen
online by visiting the Baw Baw Arts Alliance website wwwbaw-bawartsallianceorgau going to the Alliancersquos Facebook page and clicking on Like via YouTube by searching for lsquobawbawartsrsquo or visiting httptinyurlcombbaa-emotion
The eMotion meets eArt exhi-bition is now open to the public at the Arts Hub 2 Murray Street Yarragon and will then be open 10am-4pm Wed to Sun until 26 May 2012

The 2012 budget papers show that the government has made a deliberate decision to slam the door on Victoriarsquos bike riders
The foundation of the Statersquos bike infrastructure investment the Vi-cRoads Bicycle Program has been slashed to zero (Some commitments from previous budgets are still trickling through)
None of the high priority infrastructure projects which were planned for next year have been funded Desperately needed lanes signals inter-sections and other urgent safety improvements have been dropped

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment
The Gallery is situated at the corner of Forbes and Avon Sts Briagolong

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

Gourmet foodsfrom Tambo
To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Just what do you do with your old faded tattered car seats Do you rip them out and replace them cover them with fake car seat covers or would a complete re-cover be the answer

tor trimmers that would satisfactorily complete your project with all the love and care as if you were doing it yourself

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

June is rotary bowelscan monthldquoBowel cancer is the most com-
mon internal cancer affecting both men and women and the second most common cause of cancer related death after lung cancer This is especially the case for peo-ple over 50 with approximately 14000 new cases being diagnosed each year

Access to interactive art has just become a reality with the opening of the Creative Gipps-land eMotion meets eArt exhi-bition at the Yarragon Arts Hub this week
Baw Baw Arts Alliance spokes-person Sue Keirnan said the idea behind the exhibition was to intro-duce a cross-section of local talent to much wider audiences either physically online or all in one hit
ldquoWersquove got this great line up of visual and musical artists from all over West Gippsland such as painter Janine Good and band Shy Robyn muscian and master guitardrum maker Roger Terrill and art-ists Sue Acheson Laurie Collins Tristan Throup Wendy Olsen and Lesley Bartlettrdquo said Ms Keirnan
So it seemed mad not to use everyday communication tools to get them into the regional lime-light or indeed anywhere on the planetrdquo
ldquoWe figured by simply us-
ing digital signposts such as QR codes and making iPhone films of our profile artists we could make it easy for audiences to see them see them anytime any place any-whererdquo
Using any smartphone with a downloaded QR code app visitors to the Arts Hub can scan each ex-hibit profile board and learn more intimately about each artistrsquos inter-pretation of the lsquoeMotionrsquo theme
These films can also be seen
online by visiting the Baw Baw Arts Alliance website wwwbaw-bawartsallianceorgau going to the Alliancersquos Facebook page and clicking on Like via YouTube by searching for lsquobawbawartsrsquo or visiting httptinyurlcombbaa-emotion

The foundation of the Statersquos bike infrastructure investment the Vi-cRoads Bicycle Program has been slashed to zero (Some commitments from previous budgets are still trickling through)
None of the high priority infrastructure projects which were planned for next year have been funded Desperately needed lanes signals inter-sections and other urgent safety improvements have been dropped

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo

The 2012 budget papers show that the government has made a deliberate decision to slam the door on Victoriarsquos bike riders
The foundation of the Statersquos bike infrastructure investment the Vi-cRoads Bicycle Program has been slashed to zero (Some commitments from previous budgets are still trickling through)
None of the high priority infrastructure projects which were planned for next year have been funded Desperately needed lanes signals inter-sections and other urgent safety improvements have been dropped

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment
The Gallery is situated at the corner of Forbes and Avon Sts Briagolong

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

Gourmet foodsfrom Tambo
To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Just what do you do with your old faded tattered car seats Do you rip them out and replace them cover them with fake car seat covers or would a complete re-cover be the answer

tor trimmers that would satisfactorily complete your project with all the love and care as if you were doing it yourself

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket
Herersquos an even better option Come down to the Cobb and Co Stables Market on a Friday and swap your produce with other growers You can offer fruits vegetables herbs preserves or any other home grownproduced items These can be swapped with other growers So if you have a bumper tomato crop but the zucchinis were a fail then bring your to-matoes and swap with the zucchini green thumb If you have no produce of your own then simply donate some funds which will then be passed on to a local charity
By being involved you will have a chance to network with other growers build community and reduce waste As an added bonus you will be able to increase the range of pro-duce in your kitchen that was grown locallyThis program commences on Friday 1st June 2012 at the Cobb and Co Stables Market complex between 12 and 1pm It is free to participate and if you have any enquiries please call Mark on 03 5143 0370

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment
The Gallery is situated at the corner of Forbes and Avon Sts Briagolong

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

Studies have been performed showing that the inclusion of sport participation as part of the univer-sity curriculum has many advan-tages for both students and teach-ers alike There is a very close link between physical fitness and aca-demic performance
A full social program has been arranged for all participants of this years games including the Open-ing Ceremony planned for Mon-
day July 2 along with evening events throughout the week
There will be a Mexican Fiesta Retro Sports evening and to finish it off a Pirate Parrrrty on Thurs-day
The closing ceremony will be held on Friday July 6 the final day of competitions

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Just what do you do with your old faded tattered car seats Do you rip them out and replace them cover them with fake car seat covers or would a complete re-cover be the answer

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment
The Gallery is situated at the corner of Forbes and Avon Sts Briagolong

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

Gourmet foodsfrom Tambo
To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Ten years ago a group of artists in the township of Briagolong es-tablished ldquoThe Big Galleryrdquo (in a very little building) It is now the briagolongartgallery in very spacious accommodation
Celebrating this milestone is an exhibition of work past and pre-sent 20 painters printmakers and drawers extraordinaire will be exhibiting the best of their work done over the last decade
Diverse subject matter executed with talent and consummate skill has been an ongoing hallmark of this group
Many of the artists involved themselves in a recent renovation which converted what was the old Briagolong garage to a vibrant ex-hibition space still retaining the heritage value and appearance of the building
This is a great opportunity to visit an exciting and beautiful gal-lery space Certainly more spa-cious than the first gallery
The exhibition ldquoHappy Re-turnsrdquo will have an official open-ing on Sunday the 27th May at 200pm and will continue till 8th of July all welcome
Open Saturday and Sundays 11am to 400pm or by appoint-ment

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo

Facebook - is itreally necessary
Many business owners when faced with the prospect of having to setup a website for their business can feel overwhelmed and totally not up to the task
Then if having one website wasnrsquot enough now yoursquore told you need a Facebook page as well
Do not despair itrsquos not any-where near as difficult to setup a Facebook page as it is to setup and maintain your business website
There are no hosting fees no domain name registration and generally no technical upgrades or maintenance
Yoursquove just got to figure out how to use Facebook then be prepared to re-learn it every six months when they change or up-date their interface
Setting up is as simple as sign-ing yourself up for a Facebook ac-count This account will be in your personal name and will only be your personal Facebook page
Next you create a new ldquoBusi-ness Pagerdquo This page works ex-actly the same as your personal page with a few hidden extras
People cannot be ldquofriendsrdquo with your business page They can only
Like your business page As well your business page can only Like other business pages it cannot be-come friends with anyone
Thus the aim of the game is to get as many people to Like your page as possible The more Likes you have the more exposure your business postings will receive
When you post a comment special or photo on your business page it then feeds out to the News Feed on all your Likers pages
They can then Like your in-dividual posts or they can Share your posts meaning they re-post your article on their Wall which then appears on their friends News Feeds
Your news or specials can very quickly spread out to a huge net-work of friends and their friends In my opinion itrsquos the cheapest and easiest way of spreading your good news Our Facebook page is to be found at wwwfacebookcomgippslander

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket
Herersquos an even better option Come down to the Cobb and Co Stables Market on a Friday and swap your produce with other growers You can offer fruits vegetables herbs preserves or any other home grownproduced items These can be swapped with other growers So if you have a bumper tomato crop but the zucchinis were a fail then bring your to-matoes and swap with the zucchini green thumb If you have no produce of your own then simply donate some funds which will then be passed on to a local charity
By being involved you will have a chance to network with other growers build community and reduce waste As an added bonus you will be able to increase the range of pro-duce in your kitchen that was grown locallyThis program commences on Friday 1st June 2012 at the Cobb and Co Stables Market complex between 12 and 1pm It is free to participate and if you have any enquiries please call Mark on 03 5143 0370

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

The dyingart of thetechnophobe
It used to be fun being a technophobe Complaining about pro-graming video recorders wondering why disks didnrsquot already come formatted referring to the internet as the lsquoworld wide webrsquo won-dering why everyone knew how to download movies except you and having to learn new verbs almost daily - blog Google Skype poke tweet spam like surf youtube phish hack upload download VOIP browse bookmark etc
These days however even committed technophobes are fast running out of excuses Itrsquos get-ting harder to get traction with grievances when computers are up and running as soon as you switch them on when a novice can cre-ate movies and slideshows in min-utes when all your gadgets sync automatically and when you can accrue 400 friends without ever talking to them
Back when a search engine was a friendly librarian Apple realised that technology and gadgets could be both beautiful and user friendly
Apple didnrsquot invent the computer MP3 players mobile phones or e-readers They effectively just sim-plified the steps involved in using them and turned the hardware into works of art
It has never been easier to com-municate and learn to do things faster and smarter In the process technology can even positively impact the environment through innovation and lateral thinking
Sadly for technophobes they will need a new focus Theyrsquore not the sought after specialists they once were Politics perhaps

Forestry woodchippingand protecting our Koalas
Eden woodchip in the redEden export woodchip mill has just recorded its first
ever loss in 40 years of woodchipping East Gippsland forests Losses disclosed to ASIC total $126430
Mystery surrounds the accumulated losses at the mill considering the majority of their products (trees) are currently subsidised by the Baillieu Government
Baillieu Govt slashes environment budgetThe latest budget has axed $130 million from the Vic
Govtrsquos environmental departments This includes post-bushfire work and climate change programs
Logging subsidies however enjoy a continued hand-out of over $50 million
How much can a koala bearVictoriarsquos koalas have been excluded from being list-
ed by the Federal Government as a vulnerable speciesQueensland NSW and ACT koalarsquos can rest easy fol-
lowing the rulings Their habitat cannot be razed to the ground without extensive government interference
Koalas in the Strzelecki forests however were not af-forded that protection Most of their habitat is on private land available for clear felling to feed the Maryvale pa-per mill

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket
Herersquos an even better option Come down to the Cobb and Co Stables Market on a Friday and swap your produce with other growers You can offer fruits vegetables herbs preserves or any other home grownproduced items These can be swapped with other growers So if you have a bumper tomato crop but the zucchinis were a fail then bring your to-matoes and swap with the zucchini green thumb If you have no produce of your own then simply donate some funds which will then be passed on to a local charity
By being involved you will have a chance to network with other growers build community and reduce waste As an added bonus you will be able to increase the range of pro-duce in your kitchen that was grown locallyThis program commences on Friday 1st June 2012 at the Cobb and Co Stables Market complex between 12 and 1pm It is free to participate and if you have any enquiries please call Mark on 03 5143 0370

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Gourmet foodsfrom Tambo
To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Just what do you do with your old faded tattered car seats Do you rip them out and replace them cover them with fake car seat covers or would a complete re-cover be the answer

tor trimmers that would satisfactorily complete your project with all the love and care as if you were doing it yourself

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo

Gourmet foodsfrom Tambo
To get started you will need 2kg organic rye flour you can use wholemeal but it must con-tain no leavening agents a large wide-mouthed bowl left un-sealed and a spoon
Mix one cup plain flour with slightly less than one cup warm water in the jar stirring vigorously at least twice a day for 2-3 days Store the jar in warm 30C location and check for bubbles which will appear as it begins to ferment
At this time remove 90 of the mixture then feed the culture with another cup of plain flour and slightly less warm water stirring well You may need to repeat this process of feeding the culture at 12-hour intervals for a few more days until you have a culture powerful enough to leaven your loaves The confirmation of this is a layer of foam 3-4cm thick
You now have an activating culture ready to move to the first proofing stage or you may wish to refrigerate the culture (never freeze it) for a more convenient time
The culture will happily live in the fridge for many months if it is adequately looked after
For the first proof remove the bubbling culture from its jar and scoop into a large mixing bowl large enough for the dough to at least double its size
Then add 2 cups warm wa-ter and 3 cups plain flour slowly adding the flour and stirring well (donrsquot be too concerned with lumps as the wild yeasts will eat these up)
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth or cling wrap and place in a warm location 32C for up to 12 hours
This is the time when the lacto-ba-cilli necessary for the special sour dough taste develop and the car-bon dioxide that leavens the loaf is produced You can experiment with the amount of time taken in first proofing and the related fla-vour of the bread
After the first proof is com-pleted remember to remove one cup of the culture and refrigerate it so you will always have an ac-tivating culture on hand Now you are ready to add whatever flours seeds nuts fruit vegies fats oils herbs and spices you wish to in-clude in your bread A good tip is to warm any liquids you will be using in your recipe as it helps leaven the resulting dough

If black pepper be the king of spices then surely chilli must be the queen Its ability to offer a pure heat and a mild sweet-ness has seen its integration into many of todayrsquos popular dishes
Chillies and the focus on the different variety types with their differing flavours and heat lev-els is being tipped by many food writers as one of the hottest food trends for 2013
The heat is created by a chemi-cal called capsaicin which does not dissolve in water which is why drinking water does not bring any relief The best relief comes from yoghurt milk or better still alcohol such as wine or beer
The amount of capsaicin in the chilli can be tested and is de-scribed as Scoville Heat Units or SHUs Jalapeno Tabasco sauce and chipotles are at the lower end of the scale at 3500 SHUs with a variety of chilli at every SHU all the way up to the worldrsquos hottest chilli the Bhut Jolokia at almost 1 and a half million
A serious chilli indeed particu-larly when you consider police capsicum spray is rated at 2 mil-lion SHUs with pure capsaicin at an SHU of 16 million

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

The width and breadth of Gippslandrsquos creative juices never cease to amaze me Here based in the forested Strezlecki Ranges in Gippsland Tony Smith Fine Furniture specialises in original contemporary furni-ture
Tony is drawn to the earthiness and inherent beauty of timber en-joying the process of turning raw timber into a handcrafted piece Combining timber with other ele-ments adds a special interest and focus on different aspects of the finished item
Clients are intimately involved in the entire process
As a designer and maker of unique pieces Tonyrsquos work has both a local and international cli-entele He regularly showcases items in local art shows and exhi-bitions Locally made and hand-crafted his pieces are supplied to Gippsland retail galleries
Private clients can contact Tony to have their individual creation designed and crafted to their per-sonal specifications Clients are intimately involved in the entire process from the initial conceptu-al idea through to detailed design and timber selection
Using sound design principals all pieces are crafted with fas-tidious attention to detail Whilst Tonyrsquos pieces are innovative the emphasis is on functionality and durability A combination of tra-
ditional (eg hand-cut dovetails) and modern joinery techniques are used where appropriate to empha-sis the natural beauty of the timber and ensure its structural integrity
Preferring Gippsland timbers all timber used in Tonyrsquos pieces is hand selected to meet design specifications and to accentuate the natural beauty of the finished item Many pieces utilise curves and shaping and in some cases natural edged timber to soften the overall appearance
Some items incorporate multi-ple timbers and additional materi-als (ie stainless steel) contrasting the warmth of timber with the cool of other elements Every effort is made to utilise all materials in an environmentally sustainable man-ner A variety of finishes (Danish oil polyurethane etc) can be ap-plied to meet individual client needs

Have you joined the retail revolution
Retail is not dead it is merely evolving As technology im-proves the greatest competition for many retailers is no longer coming from down the street but rather from overseas
The risk is that retailers try to compete on price alone Shipping scale labour and lack of GST will ensure that overseas online offer-ings always remain cheaper
Those retailers that are making their way side-by-side their online counterparts are those retailers that have embraced the new tech-nology that enables them to of-fer unparalleled service and after sales support
That said technology can also create opportunity Customer loyalty is not built on price alone Bricks and mortar retailers can provide something that online re-tailers never will the experience
Consider Apple It does not dis-count nor compete in price wars with other leading brands and yet its sales grow exponentially Why do you think that is
Apart from an exceptional product suite Apple has created an unparalleled user experience Everything from the product func-tionality to the design of the box that the hardware comes in and to the Apple stores themselves
The stores are clean simple and pragmatic Staff are plentiful and
there are no queues Every staff member can take payments and email receipts via their iPhone Itrsquos all about the experience
Compare that sort of experience with an online shopping escapade Therersquos no atmosphere no touch-ing or feeling and no personal in-teraction between human beings
To harness the best of both worlds retailers need to keep the personal efficient real experience that shoppers so desire as well as incorporate technology to ensure a smooth hassle free experience for their customers
The guys at Wealie have created the Wealie Universal Loyalty Card App along similar principles to help businesses engage their cus-tomers and to add value in ways that are placed above discounts
Technology can complement and enhance the user experience of any retailer If yoursquore afraid of new technology ask the kids

How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo

Kate Brilli
How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

How often in our current times do we hear the words lsquofrom the heartrsquo or lsquofollow your heartrsquo How many of us have ever stopped to consider exactly what these words really mean
I have been focusing my at-tention on these sentiments and would like to look more closely at following my heart This is what I found To follow the heart is not necessarily going to rid you of the fear you are perceiving in the cur-rent moment it may even acceler-ate the feeling of fear
By standing on the edge of our comfort zones we have two choic-es to move forward and step into the perceived fear or step back and put lsquochangersquo out of our mind and continue in our current hold-ing pattern and hope the intensity passes only to find that the fear in-creases
Whenever we follow our hearts our hearts may lead us into unchartered territory or rough wa-ters this is part of the preparation for opening ourselves up to the new changes ahead When we fol-low our hearts we allow our souls path to guide us through life and all feelings of regret frustration and hopelessness leave us Accept-ance compassion and forgiveness become part of us and this energy expands so we have more of this in our lives
There is a fine line between fear and love The adrenalin that is pre-sent in both cases is the same and we must embrace this energy force and step into it completely com-mitted without doubt to receive the awesomeness of life To deny this force is to deny lsquolifeforcersquo This may leave you frustrated and stuck in old patterns finding new habits to distract you from your discomfort about being in your present state Resulting in stag-nant energy or lifeforce
To follow our hearts is to do so with faith to let go of conditions and expectations of how things ldquoshouldrdquo be and accept how things are It is to allow ourselves to be open to receiving our manifesta-tion in its pure form without ma-nipulation from our own restric-tive minds and negative thoughts Our thoughts dictate our reality FEAR is an acronym for ldquofalse evidence appearing realrdquo Hence we all have different fears based on our experiences in this world To assist your healing in any form you must embrace the FEAR with LOVE and follow your heart Ac-cept the journey no matter how treacherous it may seem from your current viewpoint and have faith that it will lead you to greener pastures Following your heart and following your passion will always lead to LOVE
I will leave you with this quote from Rumisrsquo book of poems this is a translation of the love poem Rumi tells us the supreme secret of the inner journey is the path of love
If we can possess our whole heart with contemplation of the beloved we will experience the wonders and beauty of the uni-verse

Locally grown produce is best for so many reasons Some choose to grown their own but what do you do with any excess If you canrsquot grow everything in your garden but still want locally grown even organic do you then resort to the supermarket
Herersquos an even better option Come down to the Cobb and Co Stables Market on a Friday and swap your produce with other growers You can offer fruits vegetables herbs preserves or any other home grownproduced items These can be swapped with other growers So if you have a bumper tomato crop but the zucchinis were a fail then bring your to-matoes and swap with the zucchini green thumb If you have no produce of your own then simply donate some funds which will then be passed on to a local charity
By being involved you will have a chance to network with other growers build community and reduce waste As an added bonus you will be able to increase the range of pro-duce in your kitchen that was grown locallyThis program commences on Friday 1st June 2012 at the Cobb and Co Stables Market complex between 12 and 1pm It is free to participate and if you have any enquiries please call Mark on 03 5143 0370

Gippsland Market News
East Gippsland Eats was borne out of a lifelong passion for food shared by two sisters Lucy Carson and Jane McKay
Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
Full details on Health Wise Batter Mix can be found at wwwcrispybat-tercomau

Sixth generation Gippslanders they were born and raised in Mel-bourne but chose to return to their ancestral home to raise their fami-lies
Lucy is an Interior Designer who escaped the rat-race of Syd-ney to focus on Pilates and fitness instruction (she now runs Metung Fitness) while Jane has worked in marketing for many years coming from Melbourne a few years ago she currently works part time as well as freelance marketing
Lucyrsquos background in fitness lead to a natural interest in nu-trition and when she found that many of her clients neglected to eat breakfast Lucy came up with the healthiest solution she could find she started to give her clients her own ldquobrandrdquo of muesli a blend
that she had perfected over many years While at the same time Jane was asked to make biscuits for the guests at one of Metungrsquos premier resorts
While these two opportunities presented themselves separately with the serendipitous timing Lucy and Jane saw an opportunity to create a food business something they had both always dreamed of and East Gippsland Eats was born
Seeing the local Farmersrsquo mar-kets as a great place to start Lucy and Jane set to work in Janersquos commercial-grade kitchen in Bru-then Jane as chief cookie-creator and Lucy as master muesli-maker The sisters debuted their home made muesli and biscuits at the Metung Market in October and have become regulars at the mar-kets around the area

Gluten Free Health Products
Gluten Free Batterbrings joy back toFish amp Chip feasts
About 12 years ago Guy Plateau from Lakes Entrance was looking for a new product he could create His reasons being competition in the fast food industry was cut-throat and he was looking for something dif-ferent to focus his attention on
First Guy tried playing around with different combinations of flours when preparing his batter mixes in LrsquoOcean Fish amp Chips Lakes En-trance
Without any great successes he then happened to be discussing it with his doctor
His doctorrsquos suggestions led him to start experimenting with different versions of a gluten free mixture
At the time there was not much interest in gluten allergies or their re-actions with different people Gluten free dietry requirements were not as popular or well known
After a few samples had been cre-ated Guy sent them off for testing with the Coeliac Society
Upon receipt of Guyrsquos samples they taste tested them and were pleasantly surprised
Their first orders were for sending our samples to their clients number-
ing at the time only a few hundred Australia wide
Since then production has in-creased one hundred fold and Coe-liac sufferers Australia wide now purchase and insist on Guyrsquos original Health Wise Batter Mix
About one year ago Guy sold his business to Bill Boros
Bill has been eager to continue Guyrsquos commitment to providing a healthy alternative to traditional bat-ter mixes sold by take away food out-lets
Bill has not only continued the project but increased distribution throughout the country considerably
When you now order your fish and chips if you see the Health Wise logo make sure you request a ldquoglu-ten free batter pleaserdquo
