After weeks of preparation and rehearsals, the night finally arrived on Thursday. Winchelsea Primary School concert. What an outstanding community effort.

Through a great variet of acts the students performed with enormous enthusiasm, obvious joy, and often impressive professionalism.

The whole school singing “Best Day of My Life” set the tone for the evening, followed by the choir’s rendering of “Viva

la Vida”. From there we were treated to a variety of modern day song and dance, to the more somber “Some Nights”, a taste of country, some past hits, and finishing with the sparkling, colour filled, “Funky Town”.

The “guest artists” of the Australian synchronized swimming team, fresh from the Commonwealth Games provided a fitting end to the evening. A pity they were eaten by a shark before we could meet

them!

Congratulations to all the students who performed, and thank you to the school staff, parents, and community members who enabled it all to happen.

As one prep child wrote the following day: “ The concert is the best, it makes me happy.”

It made a lot of other people happy too. Thank you to everyone.

Winchelsea!

It might look innocent or even attractive, but declared noxious weed Cape Tulip (one leaf) is about to flower on the Surf Coast and now is the time to help stop its spread.

Surf Coast Shire Council is doing extra work to remove the weed on municipal roadsides, Council owned and Council managed land around Winchelsea and Buckley; and land owners are being encouraged to also step up their efforts to help protect their land and stock.

Cape Tulip (one-leaf) looks like a pink-orange flowering bulb that appears in early spring on roadsides and paddocks. All parts of the plant are poisonous to humans and stock. Stock consuming around 1kg of fresh material can die within 24 hours and there is no treatment readily available.

The weed is a perennial herb from South Africa that grows to around 700mm high with erect stems. It grows from underground corms, with more corms produced every year after a 2-4 week flowering period in spring.

Suggested control measures include:Manual control of small infestations is possible, however it is important to try and remove all corms. Any removed corms should be burned.

Cultivation provides some control however timing is critical as the work must be done after the old corm is exhausted (shrivelled) and before the new corms are formed (usually around June/July). Trash must be burned.

Chemical control using a registered herbicide just on flowering.

Cape Tulip (one-leaf) is a declared noxious weed under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 and landowners are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to prevent the growth and spread of Regionally Controlled weeds on their land.

Cape Tulip spreads by the movement of seed (up to 1200 seeds per plant) and corms (dense infestations can produce up to 7000 corms per square metre) which are caught up in farm machinery and particularly in hay or silage.

If you already have Cape Tulip on your property, it is vital that you do not allow it to spread beyond your boundary and that you maintain good machinery hygiene.

For more information on Cape Tulip control, contact Council on 5261 0600.

The Inverleigh Public Hall is a bluestone Mechanics Institute building attached to a 1950s cream brick hall and recently added community room, back verandah and front verandah over the footpath. This year I convened a sub-committee of the Hall Committee with seconded community members with backgrounds in design, gardening and heritage buildings. The task was to design a garden for the Hall. We imagined there were no financial limits to free us up to think of all the possibilities.

First we established a brief which we put to the Hall Committee. The main items in the brief were:

1. Bring the bluestone building to prominence and to enhance its heritage aspects 2. Sustainable and tough gardens, requiring little maintenance. 3. Streamlined mowing so it can be done by ride on mowers 4. Retain wide open spaces in the back yard for events 5. Increase shade and seating 6. Consult with users of the Hall and neighbours 7. Soften and visually unify the different building materials and sections

Next, we walked the gardens together talking about eyesores, throwing ideas and thinking about practicalities. A hard to mow area could be changed to an exploratory garden for the playgroup children with a living cubby house of a weeping cherry at the end, the splotchy back fence could be sprayed charcoal, a gazebo could be built for shade. The big list was brought down to a tentative plan which was then taken to meetings of the Hall Committee, the Playgroup and the Senior Citizens for ideas and feedback. More perspectives raised different ideas and issues. The expensive gazebo went, to be replaced by a shade tree and seats under an existing tree in the meantime, stepping stones in the garden in front of

the bluestone building became a paved path for safe walking for brides in long dresses and access for wheelie walkers, wheelchairs and prams.

Our design for the garden in front of the Mechanics Institute building harked back to historic photos showing a picket fence with garden behind it. Purposes for the garden were: to showcase the building, to provide an area of beauty to sit and relax for passers-by, for people waiting for the bus or the Hall to be open and for people wanting photos with the building and garden as a backdrop. Each purpose informed decisions, hence the selection of tough plants flowering at different times of the year and a little table as well as seats. The height of the new fence and gate had to enable the windows of the building to be seen from the road. The fence was set back from the path so that plants could be viewed both from the road and from inside the fence. We will attach heritage trims to the verandah posts and paint them, the barge board and the picket fence the same creamy mustard colour to create a link between the old building garden and the new front verandah.

Of course there really are financial constraints and, in the home situation, you would have to consider them. By now though, we all shared a grand vision and wrote to Bunnings to see if they could help us create the garden in front of the bluestone building as part of their community program. Our proposal was

pegged out and adjusted on the site so we could ‘try it out’ before I drew a plan to scale. The Hall Committee voted finances towards the project. Bunnings came to the party with materials, plants and four workers for the day on the 5th of September and the community provided catering and six workers on the day, workers before the day levelling and putting in fence posts and ongoing volunteer labour to complete the task. The Hall Committee thanks everyone who worked on the project.

While not finished in one day, the new garden is well on the way. In addition, all the trees in our larger plan have been planted so they can start growing. Everything else on the grand plan – seats, tables, herb garden, screening plants, flag pole, fence spraying and corner and exploratory gardens - will come. The long time spent planning and consulting was well worth it because we have an overall vision and know why and how we are going to do each aspect. We will be able to prioritise and work on parts over time without compromising our vision.

I hope this case study has helped you in thinking about your own garden. Just substitute yourselves for the committee and include children, pets, wildlife and visitors as users to think about as you create a brief and a plan. I am always happy to chat about aspects of garden design when people visit our nursery.

If you would like to have a copy of any of the garden notes that I have written, drop in at the Garden Gate of Inverleigh nursery, 77 Dundas St Inverleigh (the Winchelsea Road) or email me at [email protected]

Until next time, happy gardening. Christine Windle, Garden Gate Nursery Inverleigh

Please Write For The StarThe Winchelsea Star welcomes YOUR news, information, articles and items for publication. This newspaper aims to reflect its own community.

Naturally, any article submitted for printing must comply with legal requirements such as for libel, discrimination, racism etc. Ideally, submissions fit within one page (allowing for adverts) and at most two pages. With a photo or two, this is around 700-800 words per page. Photos make for a much better article - please do not edit, crop or retouch photos, the Star team will do this as required. If you are able to ‘resize’ the photo(s), aim for around 1000 pixels (px) for the longest side. Many phones and computers can automatically resize photos when being emailed, be sure NOT to choose the small (or “email”) size as this is too small to use in a printed page. Note also that there is no need to submit carefully formatted and laid out

documents, as all formatting is stripped out when the article is imported into The Star. Please also note that any submissions in hard copy (ie. printed or hand-written) or ‘locked’ formats will incur delays as they have to be typed and/or scanned - the Sunday deadline applies to material that can be readily copied-and-pasted. Please send the article wordage separately from the article photos and images. In other words, when submitting an article, attach a document of words only and then also attach the associated images. Include image captions at the end of the article.

March 2nd 1978.

A tanker became bogged on the Princes Highway opposite the Winchelsea Post Office on Thursday.

The tanker weighing 36 tons was eventually towed clear by a passing low loader weighing 38 tons.

The Shire could do with a lesson in PR as they refused the driver of the tanker assistance in the use of the grader. Apparently they would rather see the

tanker blocking a part of the highway for the rest of the day. Winchelsea Police stopped traffic on the Highway to assist the drivers of the two vehicles to pull the tanker out.

A very enjoyable 12 days was spent at Kennett River by Wendy and Peter Hole and family. The weather was enjoyable until the last few days when it rained. The fishing was not very successful but the experience valuable.

Camp at Spring Dale

Today was the last day before school camp, and I had already packed, but my 2 friends, Alice and Lisa were way behind. They had barely packed. My mum told me to take some warm clothes to camp because we were going to one of the coldest places in Spring Dale. I ran down the hallway and went into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of cold pizza off the bench and ran out the door saying, “Bye Mum!”

I ran to school as fast as I could, hoping that the bus to camp hadn’t gone yet. I finally got there and I saw that the bus was still there. I could see Alice and Lisa getting on the bus with their stuff. Mrs. Smith came over to me and said, “Sadie Hopkins, I knew you would be late! How typical!”

I hopped straight on the bus and sat right next to Lisa. Alice sat behind us, next to one of the

meanest girls in school, Lucy Nelson. She always gossips about people and once she stink bombed the cafeteria!

By the time we got there we saw large spooky cabins, which we were supposed to stay in. The cabin on the right side was for the girls and the one on the left side was for the boys. Alice said that she heard. Mrs. Smith said that this place was haunted and I agreed. At 7.00 we had dinner. After that we walked back to our cabin and went to bed. I was half asleep and suddenly we woke up. We heard footsteps outside our cabin. We ran to the front door, but no one was there. Then I turned around and counted every one. All up we had 20 people in our class 13 boys and 7 girls, but now we only had 6 girls. Lucy Nelson was missing! Just as I worked out that we had lost her, we heard a

horrible scream coming from her in the 2nd room in the cabin. All 6 of us hurried in there. We saw little blue drops of ink on the ground and on the wall it said “if you don’t leave I will kill you! “

Suddenly, I woke up and everything was back to normal and my friends were standing near my bed. I had been screaming in my sleep!

The next day it was time to go home. I can still remember every little detail of that horrible dream!

Hi Kids,

I heard lots of singing and music the other night and I think it was coming from the LTC. My friend the platypus said some of you were having a school concert. I hope you all had heaps of fun and enjoyed singing and dancing for your families. I would love to hear from you and then you can tell me about some special things you have been doing, like the concert! So please, send in your pictures, stories, puzzles, jokes etc. and put them in my mailboxes, as they are so empty! Don’t forget they are at the Winchelsea School Office and the IGA supermarket.

Theatre of the Winged Unicorn is returning to Barwon Park Mansion this October with their new production, ‘The Woman in White’. Adapted from the 1860 novel by Wilkie Collins, ‘The Woman in White’ is one of the first examples of detective fiction.

Theatre of the Winged Unicorn is based in the village of Ceres, and has been performing at the Ceres Temperance Hall for over 20 years. More recently they have joined forces with the National Trust to bring their productions to Winchelsea.

Performed by six experienced young actors, including Winged Unicorn veterans Ben Mitchell, Madelaine Field, Julie Fryman and Hannah Verspaandonk, ‘The Woman in White’ is the story of the Fairlie sisters of Limmeridge House.

Sweet, rich Laura Fairlie is engaged to be married to the awful, cruel Sir

Percival Glyde. But Sir Percival has an important secret. Laura’s sister, Marian, and Laura’s true love, drawing teacher Walter Hartright, set about to discover the secret; to save Laura from a life of misery. Sir Percival is aided by his mysterious friends, the ruthless and suspicious Count and Countess Fosco.

The production features two actors new to the company: Simon Finch as the dreadful Sir Percival Glyde, and Matt Biscombe as the hero, Walter Hartright.

Adapted from Collins’ novel by director Amelia McBride Baker, ‘The Woman in White’ is performed in period costume in the imposing house and grounds of Barwon Park Mansion. Audience members will truly be

transported back to 1860!

Wilkie Collins was a close friend of Charles Dickens, and the two men travelled extensively in Europe together. They wrote and produced plays together, and cast themselves in as performers as well. Collins’ younger brother, Charles Collins, married Dickens’ daughter, Kate.

Wilkie Collins didn’t believe in marriage, nor did he believe in monogamy – at one point he was running two households, with two partners, two sets of children, and two sets of bills! He sold stories to magazines to keep

everyone fed and watered. ‘The Woman in White’ was one such story; it appeared in serial form over many months. There were queues round the blog every week, with people keen for the next installment!

‘The Woman in White’ plays at Barwon Park Mansion on Saturday October the 4th at 8pm, and Sunday October the 5th at 2pm. All tickets cost $35, which includes entry to the mansion before the performance.

The play also appears at the Ceres Temperance Hall on the following dates:

October 3rd, 10th, 11th and 17th at 8pm, Oct 12th at 2pm, and Oct 18th at 5pm.

Bookings can be made online at www.theatreofthewingedunicorn.com.au or by calling Heather on 52 411 900.

B Grade Runners Up in GDFNL Grand FinalAfter a week off our B Grade team came into the Grand Final up against Bell Post Hill, who had knocked out top placed Werribee by two goals to earn a spot in the Grand Final. Having beaten Bell Post Hill a couple of weeks ago by fifteen goals we knew that we could do it. Unfortunately Grand Finals are hard to win and this one wasn’t to be ours. Bell Post Hill came out very strong in the first quarter fighting for every ball and making good use of it once they turned it over. The freedom of feeds into the circle gave their tall target goal shooter plenty of opportunities and getting her first couple of goals in she gained significant confidence for the rest of the game. At quarter time Bell Post Hill led 11 to 9.

We made a couple of positional changes in the second, both at the break and during an injury time. This made little difference to the score line as we continued to lose possession of the ball through both the pressure of Bell Post Hill defence and the mistakes of our team. Belinda Czerniawski held exceptionally well in our goal circle and finished off once she received the ball. Unfortunately we just couldn’t get enough feeds into her to make an impact on Bell Post Hill. They once again managed to score fairly easily and if turnovers did occur it was only to regain the possession that we had lost. Bell Post Hill added another three goals to their lead and we went into half time down by 6.

The third quarter changes were similar to our previous weeks where some fresh legs were brought in to create some extra drive in the attacking end. Unfortunately some unforced errors and again Bell Post Hill’s defence forced us to turn over the ball. The continued to gain confidence in

attack and moved the ball with patience and just waited for their attackers to open up. Bell Post Hill led 34 to 25 at three quarter time. We tried a few different options in the last quarter to try and peg Bell Post Hill back but nothing really seemed to make an impact and Bell Post Hill took the game 45 to 34.

Congratulations to the B Grade team who along with the Under 16 Football were the only teams to make a Grand Final in 2014. Although we couldn’t bring home the cup the team is an extremely strong one who only lost four games for the season. With a diverse range of players, boasting both youth and experience we know that they have plenty more to give our club and success will find them if they work hard enough. We hope that the girls stick together, stay with the club and work hard towards the next year.

Dear Editor

I would like to thank Winch House and the Surf Coast Shire for organising the

Small Business Seminars held at Winch House. The presentations from Belinda Lyle of ‘Patrick Rowan and Associates’ and Shannon Stevenson of ‘Moomedia’ was both interesting and informative. It was a pity that there were only two participants other than staff members of the Surf Coast Shire.

I believe even if the business owners feel that there would be nothing to learn or what role such as ‘Media Releases’ have in their business or organisation, it would seem that such a tool can greatly increase interest in events and the associated business. Another important aspect that was discussed was the role of Social Media and the links to a Web page or site.

Yours sincerely Margaret Forbes-Biram (Mrs)

When did you start trading?

I started trading early May this year after almost ten years working in Landcare. Prior to that I owned a commercial cleaning business with my wife servicing large retail clients, car parks and schools. Before moving to this area I was involved in farming and woolclassing

Why did you decide to start your business?

To have more independence and control over my life. I always like to learn something new and this provides many opportunities

Why did you choose to run your business in Winchelsea?

It is where we have lived for the last eight years and is well located to my client base and other services

What are some of challenges you encountered?

Early this year there was some illness and a couple of deaths in my family which all came at once and were major setbacks. The positive aspect of this was that it forced me to slow down, develop my skills and upgrade my equipment in a fairly orderly fashion

What do you wish you had known before you started?

Why I hadn’t woke up and done this sooner.

What type of education helped you to open/run/manage your business?

I already had plenty of life experience so had a fair idea of what I was getting into. As I have bought a well recognised franchise there has been some good initial training to get started and I am able to call on the vast knowledge within the organization. In addition I have completed some extra training to develop specialized skills and gain industry certification. I will continue to do this to keep up with new developments.

How many employees do you have?

Currently I am an owner operator working by myself but there are plenty of other franchisees in the organization I can call on for backup or to handle jobs outside my normal services

Describe a typical day in your business?

Thankfully there is no such thing. Every day is different and can offer new challenges or opportunities. A lot of my work is in family homes and rental properties plus some commercial premises. I specialize in restoring carpets using modern, powerful equipment with minimal cleaning solutions. Dry cleaning of carpet is offered where it is appropriate.

In addition I clean upholstery, fabric and leather as well as cleaning ceramic tiles and grout. I like meeting new people as well as having some flexibility, especially if it involves spending some extra time with my grandkids.

Best thing about Winchelsea?

I have had a lot of support and encouragement from local people which I really appreciate. Community spirit and can do attitude to get things done here. We are well located to lots of services. There is a strong volunteer ethic in the town and some truly amazing people here that are great role models

One thing you would change in Winchelsea?

A better laid out retail and visitor precinct that is more accessible, safer, user friendly and makes better use of the river area. Currently things are fragmented and likely to be more complicated with the dual road through town
