I have spent the last several weeks thinking about my future as Editor of The Progressive. I have had a lot to consider.

At present I forward about 25 PDF copies on the first of the month to those who have requested delivery in this way. Not many compared to the 600 copies printed on real paper each month that people can actually hold in their hands and refer back to. There have actually been recent requests from several outlets to increase their allocation of the printed copies of The Progressive as their supply only lasts a few days. I would also point out that around $2,000+ per year is generated from advertising (this is after printing costs) and these funds are put back into the community through the LDPA. Obviously, I am not part of deciding how that money is used but I would think that it is a very useful sum. Another comment has been that The Progressive is not needed now that Facebook is available and that all community news can be spread via social media. What about the people who do not have a computer? And yes, they do exist! Some choose not to have a computer, others have never had the chance to become familiar with them and some simply do not like them they prefer the printed page. And don’t forget the money generated from advertising this will not be available if only social media is to be used? Editors, past and present, of the paper version of The Progressive have always tried to be even handed and impartial in the material put in that newspaper, giving all in the community a chance to air their views. Online communications may become less so as posts that disagree with the administration of the page can be simply deleted. Maybe The Progressive needs a new direction in form of a local news and community newsletter with profits going to local organisations as required. The old saying comes to mind though “if it’s not broken why try and fix it”. I do not want to leave the community in the lurch .

FROM THE LIONS DEN

At our May dinner meeting we had a very interesting guest speaker from Haemochromatosis Australia. This

disease is an inherited iron overload disorder and is very common, yet little known, potentially fatal and easily

treated. Symptoms might include chronic fatigue, joint pain, skin colour changes and diabetes. More information

is available at www.ha.org.au, or call 1300 019 028 or see your GP.

You may have noticed the Emergency Medical Information Books which are available from the local pharmacy and

GP clinic – please complete your details and keep them handy in case they are needed in a medical emergency.

Our annual changeover dinner will be held in July at the Bridport Bay Inn in conjunction with the Bridport Lions

Club. New office bearers will be installed (or recycled) for the coming Lions year. Don’t forget the Lantern

Festival and Walk at the Falls on 19 June to celebrate the winter solstice where we conduct a free sausage sizzle.

Recent donations include $100 to the Haemochromatosis Society, $200 for Cystic Fibrosis and $500 for disaster

relief. Our monthly sausage sizzle and second hand book stall at the local market is one way we fundraise,

together with sales of cow manure, Christmas cakes and raffles. We hope to sell soup at the next market ,

please stop by our stall for a chat and learn more about Lions’ activities.

Remember we still have Christmas cakes for sale for your upcoming Christmas in Winter celebrations

or just to have on hand when those unexpected visitors arrive, phone Colin 63952065 with your order.

You might like to also stockpile a supply of cow manure for spring, phone Stephen 63951323.

The Progressive JUNE 2015

Depression.

We often use this word to describe feelings of sadness

and grief that we experience in everyday life. Most

people will feel unhappy or sad when faced with the

stress of a relationship breakdown, a death, or great

disappointment or frustration. These emotional

reactions are appropriate to the situation and will not

last a long time. They are normal.

A good treatment for mild depression is exercise and

sunlight; so winter is often a time when depression

becomes more apparent.

Some people experience feelings of depression for

longer than normal, and often also have anxiety, poor

sleep, tiredness, lethargy, loss of appetite, feelings of

inadequacy, loss of motivation, feeling hopeless.

Depression is more than just a low mood - it's a

serious illness. While we all feel sad, moody or low

from time to time, some people experience these

eelings intensely, for long periods of time and often

without reason. In these situations, a visit to the doctor

may reveal a need for treatment – which may be

‘talking therapy’ or medication. Medication is needed

when the doctor considers that a chemical imbalance in

the brain is causing the depression.

A chemical imbalance in the brain needs to be treated

for many months or years, otherwise the depression

returns. People with depression find it hard to function

every day and may be reluctant to participate in

a c t i v i t i e s t h e y o n c e e n j o y e d .

Depression is associated with stress, such as following

a personal tragedy or disaster. It is more common at

certain stages in life, such as retirement in men; and

childbirth or menopause in women. It often runs in

families. People with certain personality characteristics

are more prone to depression. Perfectionists, who set

very high standards for themselves or others, and those

who find it difficult to adjust to changing circumstances,

are easily depressed. People with chronic pain, or heart

disease, diabetes, cancer or other chronic illness are

very susceptible to depression.

Depression is one of the most common of all mental

health problems. One in five people experience

depression at some stage of their lives. Depression

affects all ages and is one of the most common illnesses

in young adults. There are other mental illnesses which

affect young adults, such as bipolar disorder (or manic

depression), schizophrenia, anxiety and eating

disorders. These may have some symptoms similar to

depression.

A person with depression will often not recognize it. It

may take a family member or close friend to recognize

Health Solutions from the Lilydale Pharmacy

that there is a problem.

Common symptoms of depression include;

Loss of interest and enjoyment in life

Feeling and thinking sad, hopeless, helpless, in

despair, worthless, guilty

Feeling irritable, anxious, moody, frustrated

Sleeping too much or not enough

Difficulty concentrating and making decisions

Thoughts of suicide or death

Problems with sexual function or loss of interest

in sex Increase in alcohol or drug use Depression does not usually ‘suddenly appear’ – it can

develop slowly over many months, so it can be difficult

to notice.

‘Beyond Blue’ is a great web site for more information,

Lilydale Online Access Centre Useful Websites for Community Groups:

As we near the end of another financial year, Annual

General Meetings will soon take place for many of our

local Community groups. I know a lot of local groups

struggle to get committee members, and potential

committee members are sometimes unsure of what

their role really is.

Lilydale Arts Lilydale Arts held two concerts in May

The first concert on May 3 was held in the Uniting

Church where we were entertained by the

Singcognito Choir from Launceston. The singers were

relaxed and shared their enjoyment with the

audience, singing a variety of pieces including several

African spirituals and ending with Amazing Grace.

Choir and audience joined us afterwards for

afternoon tea; this was a wonderful opportunity for

all to get to know each other and to learn more

about the music and how the performers practice and

bring it all together. The concert raised $695 for

Lilydale Fire Brigade to buy two new radios.

Our second concert on May 17 was at the Hamiltons

home on the Snake Track, North Lilydale. Once again

this was a perfect venue and our thanks go to the

Hamilton’s for their generosity. The concert was

given by Monte Mumford, Linda Jessup and Karlin

Love. Monte is well known to Lilydalians who have

studied under him or played in one of the University

Bands. For those have only heard a trombone playing

in a brass band, it was a joy to listen to Monte who

made it sing as a solo instrument. Linda was a

sensitive accompanist and Karlin, playing clarinet,

rounded off a great concert. Once again, the music

was followed by afternoon tea and good company,

with people lingering to pick up a tea towel and talk

some more…

Our next event is the annual Lantern Walk at The

Falls on Friday, June 19. Jenny Scott will hold a lantern

-making workshop on the preceding Saturday (13th) at

10.00 am, in the Village green if it’s fine or in the

Supper Room of the Hall if the weather is too cold or

wet.

The Lantern Walk begins at 6.00 pm. There is parking

in the paddock opposite The Falls Park and police will

direct traffic and road crossing. The Lions Club will

have a sausage sizzle before the walk and hot

chocolate drinks will be provided after the walk.

John Rolph, playing bag pipes, will lead the walk which

will wind around the park and along the path beside

the creek up to the bridge and back. With lights set

along the path, in the bushes and trees and floating on

the water and with all the hand held lanterns it is

truly magical, especially for little ones. Do come and

share our Winter Solstice Walk.

Starting on July 10 we will have an exhibition of work

by Jenny and Ian Scott – more of that in the next

Progressive but if you remember their entry in the

Post Competition (remember the carved bird

delivering mail!) keep this exhibition in mind to see

more.

Finally, MEMBERS, MEMBERS, MEMBERS! We

welcome old and new members! We need you and

we need your subs ($20 single, $30 family for the

current year). Please join us and become part of this

very active, creative and enjoyable group. Remember

there is a member’s deduction for all our events.

The Progressive JUNE 2015 7

Lilydale Country Women's Association Northern Group Vice President Margaret Genders was guest at our 2015 AGM. Most Office Bearers

from last year were recycled. Our normal monthly meeting followed the AGM and we officially

welcomed one new member and expect another one, perhaps two at our next meeting.

We will be holding a Soup & Sandwich luncheon on Wednesday July 1, 10.45 for 11 am at the Senior

Citizens rooms. For just $10.00 you will have the choice of at least two varieties of soup plus delicious

sandwiches with proceeds going to the CWA State fundraising cause, which this year is Ronald

McDonald House so please come and join us for a good lunch. More information can be obtained by

phoning Margaret on 6395 1257 or Helen on 6395 2060.

Perhaps you would like to become a member of this great service organisation, if so please contact

either Margaret or Helen on the above numbers.

Our next meeting will be at the Uniting Church on Wednesday June 3, 9.30 for a 9.45 am start and you

will be made most welcome.

Police Report for April/May

Between 4th & 5th March a farm property along

Pipers River Road was entered through an unlocked

shed, located the keys to a locked gun safe stole 4

firearms plus ammunition. Power tools were also

stolen from the unlocked house.

Sometime between 15th & 28th April a number of

sheds in Loriwood Drive, Turners Marsh were

entered. Stolen were 4 mag wheels, a Volkswagen

Combi muffler, car parts and 3 boxes with unknown

items in them.

Police wish to remind people to lock up their garages,

sheds and vehicles even when they are at home.

Parents need to get their children involved in different

activities in the area to keep them occupied. If

children play sport in Launceston, it may be an idea

for parents to draw up a roster system to transport

the children to these functions and take turns using

their cars.

The Lilydale Senior Citizens Club would like to see

more people attend their Friday indoor bowls

sessions. Age is no barrier but numbers are needed

for this to be viable for this town.

A discussion was had on the improvements done to

the Memorial Hall.

Our next meeting will be on June 11th at the Fire

Station at 7.30 pm

All are welcome to attend. Supper is served at the

end of each meeting.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH REPORT

We had quite a good roll up at our April meeting

with Tanya Rattray as our guest speaker.

This report will cover April and May meetings.

Discussions were on the poultry shed at Lalla,

which the Council has no problem with; the Bike Trail

which will follow the old railway line from Launceston

to Scottsdale - money has been allocated for that but

people in this area do not want it to go ahead. A

meeting was to have been arranged during April for

the residents of Lilydale to discuss the pros and cons

for this bike trail.

The work done at the “Crossroad”

intersection is not good enough. The markings on

Golconda Road do not show double solid lines which

mean “no overtaking” at that intersection. Also there

are no “Give way” signs on the Karoola/Lalla Road

intersection with the Pipers River Road. We feel that

there could be better road signage in a lot of our

areas.

Tanya Rattray’s talk at our April meeting was

very interesting- she covered the Bike Trail;

Crossroad intersection; School Bus signs in our area;

in discussion with Health Minister regarding funds

from the sale of the Mary Walsh centre which we feel

should be used to benefit this Community and is

working to streamline gun laws.

The Lilydale Uniting Church

Dear Friends and Families of Lilydale. We are asking you to save the date. Sunday 23rd August 2015 at 2pm. The Lilydale Uniting Church is celebrating 125 years of community worship in Lilydale and we would love for you

all to celebrate with us on the day by sharing in afternoon tea and a brief service of celebration. We ask that in true Lilydale community spirit you please bring a plate of

afternoon tea to share.

Leading up to this day of celebration we are looking to

collect stories, photos and other memorabilia and artefacts from across the community's history that celebrate the church in the community over the years to add to our

displays. Betty Viney is happy to accept all items on your behalf, and scan copies of documents and photos if you don't want to leave originals. Betty can be contacted

[email protected]. All items will be lovingly cared for and returned.

We are very excited to be sharing this time of celebration

with the whole of the community and hope that you will share in our joy together.

Blessings for the days ahead.

EATING IN THE FIFTIES & SIXTIES...

Curry was a surname. Take-away was a mathematical problem. A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.

All potato chips were plain. Rice was mainly eaten as a milk pudding. Calamari was called squid and we used it as fish bait.

A Big Mac was worn when it was raining. Brown bread was something only poor people ate. Pasta was unheard of in our country.

Oil was for lubricating, fat was for cooking. Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves and never green. Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being white gold. Cubed sugar was regarded as posh.

Fish didn't have fingers in those days. None of us had ever heard of yoghurt. Healthy food consisted of anything edible.

People who didn't peel potatoes were regarded as lazy. Indian restaurants were only found in India. Prunes were used as medicinal remedy.

Surprisingly, muesli was readily available, it was called cattle feed... Water came out of the tap.

The one thing that we never ever had on our table in the fifties or sixties .... Elbows Or Mobile phones

Bringing Back the Memories This month’s topic is about Lalla, which is a quiet and

picturesque settlement, just a little west of Lilydale. It

must have been quite a busy place at one stage in time.

This article appeared in the Launceston Daily Tele-

graph back on the 1st February in 1909.

LALLA – This siding is situated about midway between

Karoola and Lilydale stations. It is of recent construc-

tion, consequently it is not widely known. But it is rap-

idly coming to the fore as a centre of business and

enterprise, and the “person” who worked and was the

means of having the siding erected, and now feeds and

keeps it the scene of life and activity, whose cart load

upon cart load of peaches, strawberries, and all kinds

of fruit, and whose thousands and thousands of fruit

trees can be seen being loaded on the train day after

day the whole year round – who is he? I guess the rail-

way officials know him, or rather his signature.

Let us see what he has done. We approach his en-

trance gates, and there we see his sign board, “F.

Walker, Nurseryman.” The first impression on enter-

ing the avenue is very pleasing, from here we see an

avenue comprising of weeping elms, ash, Oriental

planes, chestnuts, walnuts, copper beech, flowering

cherries – indeed, a fine variety, and all in a flourishing

condition.

Here we are met by the manager, Mr Adams, who

accompanies us, pointing out and explaining different

methods of planting and laying out, pruning, etc. One

has only to look through this beautifully kept place to

be convinced that neither time nor money has been

spared to gain the best possible results. The best men

have been employed from the mainland, as well as

from England, and ten constant hands can be seen at

work among the different branches of the industry.

Passing along the avenue we come to a nice plot of

two year old apple trees, which will be lifted next

planting season, and just what part of Tasmania they

will be growing in next season would be hard to say,

as Mr Walker’s trees establish themselves all over this

island, and, where properly treated, bring pleasure and

profit to the growers.

To be continued in the July edition.

ROB’S JUNE CHOOK TREATMENT PAGE.

(this is no yoke - it will crack you up )

Leg Mite is caused by a burrowing mite (Knemidocoptes mutans) which causes scaly,

raised encrusted scales on the legs of chickens and other poultry.

Scaly leg can cause intense irritation to the bird by burrowing under the scales, causing them to become

raised and thicken. They are fairly common in chickens. The scales often look like they are protruding

outwards and parts of the scales will come off, making the legs look unsightly. Scales should never be

picked or cut off as this will damage the legs. Birds need to be treated to kill the mites and then scales

left to come away naturally through a moult. It can take up to 12 months before the scales have moulted

and regrown to look normal again.

For treatment call in and see Rob and his free range staff for help in this matter.

TIRED AND SLOW STARTING THESE MORNINGS.....and the car also !!!

With winter here, now is the time to call in and have your battery checked .

We can also check your alternator output that may be the problem and not

your battery. See Rob for this free and helpful check up.
