ADDAS Christmas in July Photos & story by Linda Carter Last Thursday the “Bus to the Hub” enjoyed Christmas in July at ADDAS. We were low in numbers because of many regulars off chasing the sun.

Nevertheless the ones left behind had a wonderful time thanks to Jeanette and the girls who did an incredible job decorating the room in a really Australiana Christmassy theme.

Robbie Clarke cooked his unbelievable spit roast and we also enjoyed some delicious salads and desserts.

We were entertained as usual by Kenny Garrett who got everyone up and dancing.

A couple of hilarious games set the happy vibe not to mention our coach captain Murray who was his usual self (need I say more!!) At least he wasn’t sporting a green tutu this year. How are you going to top that at Christmas Murray?? Will we ever forget the deerkini!!

Thank you everyone for providing a wonderful service. I know we all look forward to Thursday nights and not forgetting our volunteer drivers for getting us there and home safely.

How’s your Capeweed progressing?

This has been a wonderful year for capeweed! Unfortunately most stock won’t touch it. Consequently many of our paddocks are overrun with it and it is choking the “good grass” out.

In small gardens you can mow close to the ground and keep it under control but, even then, other grasses still have trouble getting through. I have been told you can inhibit the growth of capeweed by giving a light top-dressing with lime but we had so much capeweed on our five acre block I decided to spray.

After consultation with Stewart Mathieson, our local Landcare president, I decided to use Pound 240. This spray is also very effective on marsh-mellow, which is giving trouble with this year.

The spray is used in a very dilute format at 50ml per100 litres of water or 5 ml per10 litre if using a knapsack. You also need to use a wetting agent and dye to see where you have sprayed.

the group’s spray unit. This is a great unit to work with. It holds up to 100 litres of mixed spray and fits easily on to a trailer or ute. The spray gun is powered by the vehicle battery.

Things worked brilliantly and within a couple of days I had big bare patches where the capeweed carpet had been dealt with. The existing grass was not effected as Pound 240 is a selective spray. I threw rye grass seed on some of the bare patches but even where I didn’t, the existing grass seed quickly germinated.

The spray unit is available at no cost to our community. However for insurance reasons etc you must be a member of the Winchelsea Land and Rivercare group to be given the use of the unit.

Being a member of the Winchelsea Land and Rivercare group I was able to use

If you are not a member and need to do some spraying you can join the group for a membership fee of $15 and make arrangements to use the spray unit by contacting Stewart on 0428 672 054.

Ode to Winchelsea Common (Author: Name Withheld) With your trees so plentiful, and your grass so high, with your weeds that delicately nibble at the edge of your newly installed pathways, how I wish to enter and explore what is beyond.

The wiry dissection of your reserve looks fascinating, and I long to discover the use of the abundant cages that are installed in your interior.

For, why are they there?

Only you hold the secret.

How, the many residents, with their dogs and children, would love to engage with you up close.

To explore your secrets within, and marvel at the incredible amounts of fencing that you protect yourself with?

To wander around your natural setting would be a delight.

Yet it is not to be. The rusting locks that guard your fortress are beginning to wear and the signage erected to inform the locals of your future, have started to fade.

As the years go by, no one is permitted to enter.

Instead, we are to gaze from afar, as your secured barrier prohibits any egress to your further fences and gateways or weed strewn paths.

We circumnavigate your curious site, hoping for a day, soon, when we will be able to enjoy what you have to offer.

Not a soul has been observed, working, digging or fixing your supposed problems for many months.

Nor has a word been publicly heard on your expected opening.

Is it lack of an appropriate queen or some such, available to come and cut the ribbon?

We can only wonder.

Oh, Winchelsea Common, one day, when our grandchildren bring their children to visit our lovely town, will they hope to share with the next generation, the wonders that you hold.

If not in our lifetime, then at least for them!

The author has been assured that some form of community announcement will be available in the future from the Council and DELWP regarding the Winchelsea Common.

Winchelsea Wholefoods encourages town to replace single-use plastics The Winchelsea Wholefoods Team This month has been about bringing extra awareness to how much singleuse plastic we buy, use once or twice and throw away. Now that there are so many beneficial alternatives, Plastic Free July is the perfect opportunity to start making some different choices.

Winchelsea Wholefoods is a great place to start, or continue with making these changes, and with what we have available today it’s just a matter of finding what works for you and making the switch.

Single-use plastics don’t break down.

Once they are used and tossed, they become hazardous to our environment, animals and us. At Winchelsea Wholefoods we’ve got a whole range of products that are reusable, sustainable, ethical and practical to replace plastic.

The small things add up and we’re here to help Winchelsea change for the better.

that are also biodegradable and because of this they can be disposed of locally and are safe to go in your compost, be tossed on a bonfire or buried.

So next time your toothbrush needs replacing, instead of buying a new plastic one that will inevitably join the other 35 million toothbrushes that are thrown away in Australia and New Zealand every year, you can find a bamboo one in the shop that will break down once you’re done with it. Along with toothbrushes, we have bamboo cotton buds, straws and veggie brushes,

Along with being biodegradable, perhaps the most impressive thing about these products is the bamboo grown to make them absorbs excess carbon from our atmosphere more efficiently than trees do. In purchasing these bamboo products, you’re reducing the use of harmful plastic as well as supporting a company that helps to counteract our carbon output.

Also in store, we have reusable glass jars, paper bags, locally made recycled produce bags, steel drink bottles and lunchboxes, beeswax sandwich bags and a whole lot more. So as July comes to a close have a think about where you can switch out single-use plastics for something biodegradable or reusable, and pop into the shop to make the change.

Do you have a passion that puts a spring in your step?

Thanh Nguyen Do you have a passion? Something that you just LOVE doing. Something that makes you jump out of bed without an alarm, that puts a spring in your step.

A passion is something that turns a human into new born deer bouncing in green grass on a summer’s day. We’ve heard it all before, “Follow your passion”.

Find a job you’re passionate about so that you never have to “work” a day in your life. It’s the mantra which is haunting the Millennials and makes Gen X, Y and Z groan with disdain. So what exactly does it mean?

Over my career, I’ve spoken to thousands of people, asking them what they do for a living. How did they get into that field? Do they enjoy it?

I can probably count on my two hands the number of people who truly LOVE what they do. You know those people who get a sparkle in their eye when they describe something they’re working on. I wanted to know what their secret was, and how do I get some of that?

What did you want to be when you were growing up? It was the my final year in high school. I had been pondering the question for months if not years now. I’d gone from wanting to be a teacher, to a real-estate agent, a jockey (those who know me will understand I have the stature or lack thereof for it), a travel agent, a mortician (criminal shows) and an aerospace engineer (maths and physics nerd) and the list goes on.

University applications were coming up and I had to make a decision as to what my career path was going to be. It was Good Friday and the appeal for was on TV. I watched as they showed the children in the Royal Melbourne Women and Children’s hospital and it clicked.

I was going to help sick children. I was going to be a paediatrician. I ran downstairs excitedly with my new found life choice to tell dad. “Dad! I want to be a doctor!” He was busy serving customers in our restaurant and though I

don’t remember the exact words he used, over the next few weeks the message was pretty clear. Don’t do medicine, it’s too hard a lifestyle. Do dentistry instead.

Being a “good daughter”, I heeded dad’s advice and applied to the dental schools.

Low and behold when the offers were given I was accepted into Adelaide University and shipped off to become a dentist.

Six months into the course I thought, this is not what I want. Too afraid to disappoint my parents, I finished the degree with the plan to study a second degree later on. Upon graduating, I found work and threw myself into learning my craft in the real world but something wasn’t right.

By this stage I had finally gotten the courage to live my own life instead of just doing what I was told to and went through the self discovery phase.

As I backpacked, I asked myself, what is it that I want to do? I found myself volunteering at an orphanage in Cambodia and the vibrant smiles of these kids faces who had so little in their lives reminded me realised I still loved helping and I still loved children.

So I went back to Australia and started studying Public Health while I continued my travels and working as a locum (fill-in) dentist around Australia. All the while I kept questioning what my passions were.

As I was working I realised that I loved doing fillings and I loved working on anxious patients, helping them overcome their fears. I read about the psychology behind anxiety, I spoke to psychologists, I trialed different techniques to see what helped and what didn’t. I quickly developed a calming technique which works well for me but I’m still keen to learn and try new things all the time. I loved crafting the anatomy of fillings to emulate the natural anatomy. I loved creating beautiful, harmonious smiles and I loved doing it with the help of my nurse by my side. I

realised I had found my sparkle.

I don’t need to able to change the world with my job. I’ve found facets in my current career that fits in with the goals and values I hold for myself and give me job satisfaction.

I am able to work in a team to help people, work on challenges, talk to people and express my artistic side. I didn’t need to go and do a whole different degree or change my profession entirely, I just had to look closer at what I already had.

What are your values? What are your passions? Do you have a creative side that you’d like to use? Are you a problem solver? Are you good with people or do you prefer to work alone? Can you find a niche in your current job that can ignite that passion for yourself right now?

I didn’t always feel this way about my job. I went on a big journey around the world searching for my passion only to come back to where I was in the first place.

Sometimes you don’t realise what you wanted was in front of you all along.

Save yourself the energy and have a look to see if you can love something about where you are right now. You might be surprised what you find.

If you have a passion you would like to share, I would love to hear about it.

Dr. Thanh Nguyen is a dentist at Winchelsea Dental Clinic.

The clinic is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 9:30am-6:30pm.

If you are over Bannockburn way have a look at the work taking place at St Mary MacKillop Church as the rammed earth walls have been completed and the roof will soon go along. A winter Dance will be held at the Meredith Hall on Saturday the 3rd of August to raise funds for the new church, from 6pm – 11pm with the cost being $15.00 per person.

Classes for Reconciliation will commence on Monday the 29th of July in Winchelsea, for children wanting to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confessions). The course will be run over 6 weeks for children who are in grade 3 this year.

This is to bring Winchelsea in line with St Mary MacKillop primary school in Bannockburn and the parish. It will provide the opportunity for grade 3 children to celebrate one sacrament at a time, with First Eucharist, (grade 4), taking place in June 2020 and Confirmation for the children will then be in grade 6, year 2022. We are wanting the children to prepare for one sacrament at a time, as it is putting pressure on the children to try to prepare for two sacraments in the one year. Please pass the message on to any family who may have children in grade 3.

Please contact the Parish office, Father Charles on 52861230 or Marg Bushell at 52672144.

Curbing coast tea tree

Native plants can sometimes become environmental weeds, expanding beyond their natural distribution to invade vegetation and outcompete other native species.

This is the case for Coast tea tree (Leptospermum laevigatum) which is a weed on the Western Australian coastline. In Victoria the tea tree is at home along foreshores and coastal dunes, with an historic natural distribution as far west as Anglesea.

Further west this five metre, salt-tolerant and hardy shrub has been planted for windbreaks, dune stabilisation, and in

Tuesday 23 July 2019

gardens and it’s outcompeting native understorey plants and drastically changing habitats.

On Geoff and Geraldine Harris’s 80ha covenanted property west of Anglesea, Coast Tea Tree had a stranglehold over low coastal heathland, growing densely and overshadowing other plants. As a result the large Coast Tea Tree was removed to curb its spread and allow the heathland with banksias, hakeas, sheoaks, guinea-flowers, and many orchid and lilies to thrive. Following the removal, an explosion of tea tree seedlings grew over at least two hectares and so a number of groups,

For now, let’s talk about Asthma and how chiropractic may help you breathe easier.

It’s estimated that 1 in 9 Australians suffer from Asthma. Asthma affects the airways and restricts the amount of oxygen entering the lungs.

The heathland is recovering with great diversity of native herbs and shrubs growing where once only Coast Tea Tree grew. Seedlings will need to be handpulled for a few years to exhaust the Tea Tree seeds stored in the soil.

For more information about projects in the Corangamite region contact Chris Lindorff (03) 8631 5888 or chrisl@tfn.org.au

When native plants go too far How is it possible for native species to become a problem? Plant colonisation and distribution is complex. In the case of Coast Tea Tree at Anglesea, fire might have encouraged its growth and frequent fires might have affected other longlived and slow growing plants.

The environment is largely controlled by humans (i.e. the introduction of pest plants and animals, starting and stopping fires, soil disturbance, and fragmentation of native plants) and further intervention is invariably needed to maintain a healthy ecosystem. The most common intervention is the control of pests but sometimes native species also need careful management.

If you have a native plant that you think is rapidly expanding its range to the detriment of other species, talk to Trust for Nature or a local ecologist before controlling it — you may require a permit or sometimes the plant’s impact will be short term and help an ecosystem recover from disturbance.

Can Chiropractic Help?

It’s common for Chiropractic to be the first thing you think of when you’ve hurt your back, or you wake up with a stiff neck.

Here at One Body Chiropractic we see a lot of people suffering from back and neck pain, but we also have a lot of other patients come in for asthma, hayfever, behavioural, digestive and sleep issues, headaches, vertigo, knee, hip and shoulder pain and much more.

including Trust for Nature, the Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative, and volunteers helped by hand-pulling seedlings and cutting-and-painting larger plants.

difficulties. It simply enhances your ability to heal by ensuring proper function of the spine and nervous system. As a result, improvements in symptoms of asthma are often seen.

If you’re interested in finding out if Chiropractic care may help you with your asthma, or perhaps another issue that’s bothering you, why not take advantage of One Body Chiropractics’ complimentary consultation with Dr Emily McDonald.

Medication and avoidance of some activities is the most common treatment for Asthma, but many people also enjoy a reduction in their asthma symptoms while under regular Chiropractic care.

This is because Chiropractic benefits the nervous system, keeping it free of stress. When your nervous system is able to function as intended, your body is more likely to exhibit proper control in regulating breathing and reducing inflammation.

She will let you know if she can help you. If not, she’ll let you know who can.

Tune your wood heater for more heat and less smoke Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) is encouraging everyone who owns a wood heater to tune it to produce less smoke and more heat this winter.

EPA's Andrea Hinwood says there are simple ways to make your wood heater safer, cleaner and cheaper to run “Wood heaters and fireplaces continue to be a valued source of heating for many Victorians, particularly in regional Victoria,” Dr Hinwood said.

“However, wood heaters that are not maintained or operated correctly can produce a lot of smoke, and one of the best things you can do is have your flue or chimney professionally checked and cleaned,” she said.

drying out the timber before it can burn, and you get less efficient combustion that creates more smoke,” she said.

The best fuel is dry, seasoned, untreated hardwood, which burns longer and produces more heat and less smoke.

“Wood smoke contains very small particles and gases that contribute to air pollution. This can cause problems for anyone with cardiovascular, breathing difficulties and respiratory conditions, resulting in symptoms for some people.”

“Even slightly damp wood stops your wood heater from doing its best. You wind up paying for heat that is lost in

Dr Hinwood encouraged people to go outside occasionally to check their chimney for smoke.

“While the impact of a single wood heater may be small, the cumulative impact on air quality is significant, particularly through autumn and winter, and tuning your wood heater for most efficient operation is good for air quality, heating your home and people’s health.”

Tips for reducing smoke pollution: •

Get a hot fire going quickly with plenty of paper and small kindling;

•

Keep the air controls set high enough to keep the fire burning brightly;

•

Never overload a wood heater with too much wood; and

•

Make sure you never leave the wood heater to smoulder overnight, as this starves the fire of oxygen, producing more smoke.

EPA also advises that you should never burn household rubbish, driftwood, treated wood such as pine, or old painted wood in your wood heater.

Dr Hinwood encouraged people considering a new heater to think about all the choices available to them, including other heating options that may produce less smoke than wood heaters.

Bronwyn Walker

After not bringing home a win when we travelled to Inverleigh we really wanted to improve on this when hosting Inverleigh at home. We did this gaining a win in the B Grade game but Inverleigh’s netball strength across the board proved successful again and all other grades had to concede defeat.

A Grade

Inverleigh 48 def Winchelsea 33 After a reasonably close match up last time the two sides met we were hoping that this time round it might swing in our favour. Unfortunately for us we had a few players unavailable this week which required three players to “double up” playing both A & B Grade. This caused our first quarter to be a bit unsettled and Inverleigh gained a very quick lead. Once we settled down the remaining three quarters were pretty even but we could not bridge the gap to take a win.

Best Players: Casey Carroll, Meg Royal & Lillian Kent Goals: Belinda Czerniawski 27, Emma Noble 3, Sarah Todd 3

B Grade

Winchelsea 31 def Inverleigh 26 After loosing a very winnable game last time we played Inverleigh our B Grade side was determined not to let that happen again. We came out of the blocks really well with an 10 goal lead at the half time break. Sarah Todd returned to her pre-injury form creating beautiful drive into the goal circle and her accuracy in the blustery conditions was pretty impressive.

Leah Mathison took an enormous amount of intercepts back in goal keeper giving the team ample opportunity to score. This will serve as another step forward for the team in their goal to finish the season in third position.

Best: Sarah Todd, Leah Mathison and Amanda Carroll Goals: Belinda Czerniawski 22, Sarah Todd 9

C Grade

Inverleigh 58 def Winchelsea 17 The C Grade curse appears to be strong and well in Winchelsea, with another

player facing season ending illness C Grade was down to 6 players this week.

However, this enabled us to allow some junior players the opportunity to step up and have a go at senior netball. Rhiannon Nelson, Hayley Atkinson, Laura & Demi Robertson all stepped up to run through the game and put in creditable efforts across the board with experienced Angie Mawson relishing in the opportunity to work with the young girls. Unfortunately they were no match to a pretty impressive Inverleigh side but the experience should set them well for the future.

Best Players: Demi Robertson, Ebony Milich & Angie Mawson Goals: Emma Brabham 11, Emily Steed 3, Laura Robertson 3

D Grade

Inverleigh 43 def Winchelsea 16 Whilst again the D Grade side took a relatively big loss we have seen rapid improvement over the last few weeks with this side. They are certainly playing much better netball in terms of the flow throughout the court. Allana Stevens shot with accuracy whenever she had the opportunity but is still working on opening up her position with more movement, whilst Brittany Fox is creating plenty of movement in the goal circle but accuracy is a challenge. Our centre court continue to work hard with both defensive pressure and great patience to work the best passes.

Best: Danielle Carroll, Millie King and Brittany Fox Goals: Courtney Spoors 4, Brittany Fox 1, Alana Stevens 11

17 & Under

Inverleigh 33 def Winchelsea 9 We started off really well taking a lead at the first break of 1 goal with our attacking end showing some of their best attacking drive of the season. Unfortunately for us Inverleigh stepped up their game in the second quarter shutting down our opportunities to score and finding room in their attack to open up their goalers.

Ieisha Brown created some great attacking drive in both wing attack and

goal attack for the full four quarters.

Rhiannon Nelson has really stepped up to the challenge of 17 & under netball and her partnership with Hayley Steed is really coming together.

Goals: Mia Robertson 4, Courtney Spoors 4, Ieisha Brown 1 Best: Ieisha Brown, Rhiannon Nelson & Hayley Steed

15 & Under

Inverleigh 17 def Winchelsea 9 The blustery conditions this week made for a very low scoring game where shooting accuracy kept the score line pretty close. Alice Jennings provided some great movement through the mid-court with Demi Robertson finishing off the delivery to the goalers with some creative feeds. Demi even had a swing into goal defence in the last quarter showing off some unseen versatility.

Hayley Atkinson had a solid game in defence making the most of the inaccuracy of Inverleigh to pick up plenty of rebounds.

Best: Alice Jennings, Hayley Atkinson & Demi Robertson Goals: Laura Robertson 7, Claire Gaffney 1 and Grace Leeson 1

13 & Under

Inverleigh 18 def Winchelsea 11 The girls once again struggled to put out their best netball against a strong and consistent Inverleigh side. Skill wise I think the sides are well matched but we just didn’t put in the one percenters that Inverleigh did which will be required during finals for us to get wins against these top sides. Chanelle Jenkins and Eloise Kolmus did not pull out of any contests during the game picking up all loose balls driving the ball through to attack. Jess Loney’s ability to pick off a high ball intercept was impressive and with a few years experience will be an exciting opportunity for the club.

Welcome to round 14 Blue’s News report. Great conditions for football prevailed last Saturday when the Winchelsea Blues hosted country rivals Inverleigh Hawks.

With just 4 rounds left in the 2019 season every game will count for the Blues as they cling to 5th position on the GDFL League ladder.

RESERVES: Winchelsea 7.5.47 def by Inverleigh 16.6.102.

The Reserves got off to a good start leading at the first break with a very clean 3.0 to Inverleigh’s 2.3.

The second quarter was a disappointing one for the Blues kicking a solitary point while the Hawks kicked 5.1. to go into half time with a 4 goal lead.

Inverlejgh continued to do the better of the 2 sides to run out comfortable winners.

SENIORS: Winchelsea 10.9.69 def Inverleigh 6.12.48.

The Inverleigh side had only lost 2 games up to Round 14 and were sitting in second place. Winchelsea being one of the teams to beat the Hawks in a twilight game at Inverleigh earlier in the season in Round 4.

The Blues had faded against East Geelong in Round 13 and really needed to bring their best to be in the hunt for a win.

The first quarter was a fiery opening clash, with Inverleigh leading at the first break by 3 points.

The second quarter saw the Blues settle better and kicked 4.2 to the Hawks 3 points, going into the long break with a handy lead.

Inverleigh were never going to go away and came out hard in the third quarter but the Blues were able to hold them out to retain the lead going into the last.

The game was a fairly scrappy affair, and the Blues can be proud of the team’s endeavour to hold the Hawks out to give them their third defeat for the season, the boys singing the team song loud and proud after the game.

Good job Blues.

GOALS: Will Ford 5, Matthew Sprigg 2, Tavae Sauni 2, Leigh Ellis 1.

BEST: Kyle Brookes, Jackson Smith, Will Ford, Alex Gubbins, Adam Stirling, Joe Fama. ________________________________ Round 15 sees the W.F.N.C. travel to the Viva Energy Oval out at Corio to meet the Corio Devils. Any supporters who can get to the game please do so and give the Blues some support this coming Saturday. Reserves kick off at 12pm, with the Seniors starting at 2pm.

Last Saturday was also the W.F.N.C.’s Sponsor and Life Members Day and those who attended were entertained by Adam Cooney – 2008 Brownlow Medalist. Adam is a very funny man and good story teller. He answered questions and stayed to watch the Seniors have their great win. If you get the opportunity to hear his stories about his football life - do so, well worth a listen. It is hoped those who attended the day enjoyed their time at the Club last Saturday.

GO BLUES!!!
