November 6th – 15th: Jennifer Scott’s Exhibition of Chinese Style Paintings Old Library (Old Court House building, next to the Memorial Hall)
Lilydale Arts is holding an exhibition for one of our talented local Artists. Jennifer Scott is well known for her Chinese style Paintings as well as for teaching the craft. Jenny has used the Chinese freestyle technique of painting since 1967 after seeing an exhibition of the work of Chung Chen Sun, a world-renowned artist and
educationalist who had started the Malaysian Institute of Art. She realised straight away that this was the technique that would enable her to produce the effects of life and vitality that she was seeking to produce.

NOVEMBER 2015 LOCAL NEWS VIEWS AND INFORMATION.
A word from the Post Office. With Christmas approaching we have noticed an increase in mail and parcel volumes. In order for us to meet the Australia Post daily mail sorting timeframes, we would appreciate customers ensuring all items are correctly addressed. Whilst every effort is taken to sort incorrectly addressed mail articles, these will be processed after morning streaming times, which may result in delays. We appreciate that some suppliers will not accept a PO Box as a delivery address for parcels. This can be overcome by adding the Box number onto the address line as follows :- 123 Rainbow Lane Box 888 Lilydale etc. To avoid searching through numerous parcels and causing service delays, at this busy time, we will require presentation of the green cards when collecting your parcel. Thank you for your assistance and understanding with the above. Open Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) causes abdominal pain, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhoea. The cause is unknown, but factors such as emotional stress, infection and some foods can aggravate the condition. Treatment options in-clude medications, and dietary modifications which can include a low FODMAP diet where specific trig-gers are selectively excluded. Symptoms vary widely from person to person but include; Abdominal pain or cramp, often relieved by
passing wind. Diarrhoea or constipation, or one then the other. Feeling full or bloated. Excess wind Heartburn or indigestion Nausea or loss of appetite. Most people have mild symptoms that come and go, but sometimes they can be so severe as to in-terfere with daily activities. Although IBS is dis-tressing, it does not cause damage or lead to other bowel diseases. There are a variety of triggers that can aggravate IBS. These include Stress, including strong emotions like anxiety, anger or fear; Eating can make the symptoms worse, or just some types of food (alcohol, caffeine,
sweeteners, fatty food, dairy) Gut infections – however there is no evidence that
candida (thrush) makes IBS worse. Some medicines. E.g. codeine and iron makes con-
stipation worse. The symptoms of IBS can also be symptoms of other bowel diseases – so if you think you have IBS you should consult your doctor, and be tested for the other bowel diseases. When the other diseases have been excluded, then you have IBS – but at least it’s not going to harm you. There is no cure for IBS, so it’s about managing your symptoms and learning how to live with it. Try to identify all your triggers by keeping records of your symptoms and what you do, eat, drink, emotions and medicines. Reduce caffeine (tea, coffee, cola), Reduce alcohol, Modify your diet. Try a low FODMAP diet. Try slowly increasing the amount of fibre in your
diet, as this often helps constipation.
Health Solutions from the Lilydale Pharmacy

Drink more water (up to 8 glasses a day) Don’t smoke Learn and practice relaxation techniques to manage stress – eg yoga, tai-chi Exercise moderately – about 30 minutes a day. Some medicines can be helpful. Anti-spasm medicines can reduce intestinal activity, cramp and diarrhoea. E.g. peppermint oil, Buscopan and Donnatab. Anti-diarrhoea medicines like Lomotil, Imodium and Gastro-stop. Probiotics like Inner Health sometimes help. Regular fibre supplements and occasional laxatives can help with constipation. The Low FODMAP diet was developed by researchers at Monash University. They have identified a group of carbohydrates that seem to aggravate IBS symptoms. By eliminating these from the diet, symptoms can be dramatically improved. The booklet can be purchased online, or the app can be purchased for your phone or tablet for about $10. www.med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/

Little Johnny comes downstairs crying. His mother
asked, “What’s the matter now?”
“Dad was hanging pictures, and just hit his thumb
with hammer,” said little Johnny through his tears.
“That’s not so serious,” soothed his mother. “I know
you are upset, but a big boy like you shouldn’t cry
at something like that. Why didn’t you just laugh?
“I did!” sobbed Johnny.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
Lilydale Online Access Centre Just a quick note to let you know that Jayne will be on holidays for the whole month of December, and at this stage we are not sure what days/times the Centre will be open, so if you have specific computer needs before Christmas, please book a time to come in to the centre during November. Is Windows 10 really free? Windows 10 is available for free to most computers out there. Assuming your computer runs either Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1, you’ll see a “Get Windows 10” pop-up as long as you have Windows Update enabled. This allows you to reserve that free upgrade. Even if you’re using Windows 7 without Service Pack 1 or the original version of Windows 8, you can upgrade to the latest versions of Windows 7 or 8 for free and then get your Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft has previously said this Windows 10 upgrade will be “free for the first year.” This means that this free offer lasts a year — from July 29, 2015 to July 29, 2016. You have a year to get your free upgrade. If you don’t upgrade by July 29, 2016 and try to upgrade on July 30, Microsoft won’t give you Windows 10 for free. If you do upgrade within the first year, you get Windows 10 for free, permanently. You don’t have to pay anything. Even after it’s been a year, your Windows 10 installation will continue working and receiving updates as normal. You won’t have to pay for some sort of Windows 10 subscription or fee to continue using it, and you’ll even get any new features Microsoft adds.

Markets continue to be a worthwhile fundraiser and our last raffle winner was Anita Denholm of Newstead. We are organising our Christmas raffle as well with first prize being a $300 IGA Voucher which would certainly be handy and easy on the budget to stock up on all your goodies for the Christmas period. As well we will have an additional ten prizes so please buy a ticket when you see our members selling closer to Christmas – we would love locals to win any of the raffle prizes as our previous Market raffle winners have come from far afield – Hadspen, Swansea and Penguin. The raffle will be drawn at Carols on the Green on Saturday 19 December – pencil this important date into your diary. Don’t forget to stock up on your traditional Lions Xmas Cake and Puddings as well – Lions have been selling these cakes for many years. They still have the traditional taste and are excellent value.
At the November and December markets we are hav-ing a Christmas book sale – adult books/novels will be $2 each and children’s books will be 5 for $5. This applies to both new and second-hand books and is an excellent way to get children interested in reading – also great value for money. Look for our book stall just inside the door of the Memorial Hall but don’t go past our sausage sizzle without stopping for a chat and buying one of our mouth watering sausages. On 22 November we are conducting our annual Senior Citizens Bus Trip to Ross in the Tasmanian midlands.
This is always an excellent day for both the seniors and Lions members so don’t forget your RSVP to Barry Jones 63954233.

A burglar breaks into a house. He starts shining his light around looking for valuables. Some nice things catch his eye, and as he reaches for them, he hears, “Jesus is watching you.” Startled, the burglar looks for the speaker. Seeing no one, he keeps putting things in his bag, again, he hears, “Jesus is watching you.” This time, he sees a parrot.
“Who are you?” the burglar asks.
“Moses,” the bird replied.“Who the heck would name a bird Moses?” the man laughed.
“I dunno,” Moses answered, “I guess the same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus.”

Lilydale Arts proudly presents Jennifer Scott, acclaimed Artist and Sculptor.
Lilydale Arts is holding an exhibition for one of our talented local Artists. Jennifer Scott is well known for her Chinese style Paintings as well as for teaching the craft.
Jenny has used the Chinese freestyle technique of painting since 1967 after seeing an exhibition of the work of Chung Chen Sun, a world-renowned artist and educationalist who had started the Malaysian Institute of Art. She realised straight away that this was the technique that would enable her to produce the effects of life and vitality that she was seeking to produce. Jenny lived in Kuala Lumpur and studied with Chung Chen Sun for five years, becoming highly proficient in this Chinese technique of painting. She has also attended courses at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.
This freestyle technique depends entirely on the power of the line, which means that control of the brush is paramount. This entails the need to know how to load the brush with just the right amount of ink and then to make the stroke with total control of speed and pressure.
The Five Treasures of the Chinese artist’s studio are the brush, the ink, the grindstone (which controls the quality of the ink), the water, and finally the paper, or silk, on which the painting is to be done. Colour is not essential but, if used, should be appropriate.
A Chinese critic will usually study the composition and the brush strokes in a painting before considering the painting as a whole. The white areas in the painting are essential to the composition. The accuracy of the drawing is not as important. The power of the line can express volume and motion, so that even static subjects can have vitality.
The exhibition will be opened on Friday 6th and Jenny will talk about her work. This will give us an insight into an art form that may not be familiar to most of us. The exhibition will then run from November 6th to 15th in the Old Library (Old Court House building, next to the Memorial Hall) and will be open from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm every day.
Jenny will be available to talk about her paintings and answer questions for much of the time that the exhibition is open. She has painted Greetings cards which will also be available for sale. The last day of the exhibition is the day of the monthly Lilydale Market: two good reasons for visiting and enjoying what our country town has to offer.
Painted Poles Report: Some of our painted poles are deteriorating and Leanne Hodgetts will begin work on restoration in December. The poles are a unique feature of our village, one of the attractions that draw people here, so it is important to maintain them. Donations to help with this are greatly appreciated.

COUNTRY WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION
On a cool October morning, seven faithfuls and young Charlie met for the monthly CWA meeting. After discussing the pros and cons of nose piercing, after care and the best place to go, bank investments that yield more than one cent per month per $1,000, the business of the day began. Minutes of September, balance sheet, income (from CWA shop in Launceston, soup and sandwich catering for a bus group) and expenditure (school awards, empty stocking fund, rent and travelling expenses) were passed.
Socially, there is a Melbourne Cup Day conducted by Winnaleah/Derby CWA at the Australian-Italian Club, Prospect, after a Mayoral reception at the Town Hall.
Conference resolutions (palliative care, dementia care and night time staffing levels, junk mail, lurid television news presentations in family viewing time, abolition of the death penalty) were discussed, rea-soned and voted on at conference. Guest speakers were from Ambulance, Kidney Health, Palliative Care. Topics for the coming year – health subject, kidneys/fund raising = Ambulance Tas/study country, Nepal/and a veg/fruit study – rhubarb (celery with high blood pressure?) Statewide group and committee reports were presented at the Annual Meeting, officers elected, Author Deb Hunt opened the AGM – she has had an interesting and varied life from Gloucestershire, UK, to Broken Hill, not sure where now. Her latest writing is “Australian Farming Families”. Awards were presented.
The CWA Shop in Launceston celebrated sixty years in October, we would have had a report on that except our representative was a little anxious and turned up a day early!
A group meeting was held at George Town on 20 October. Twenty hand knitted beanies for a Northern Territory Aboriginal settlement were given.
After closing the meeting, those who were able to remain shared lunch, a visitor and three well behaved children from Bridport arrived, along with Debbie Smith from George Town with her husband. Debbie guided us very patiently through the stages of making an origami flower ………. How come the children were fast and accurate with their work? We were all proud of the results. This scribe’s brain and origami somehow don’t click……… next day the steps needed to make another had been erased from memory!
Congratulations to Norma who gained a second plac-ing in the state wise Edna Rundle Award. This is a very prestigious competition for four articles of needle work.
Next month’s meeting is at 9.45 a.m. on 4th November,
Uniting Church Hall. Ideas and venues needed for

LILYDALE LANDCARE: The last couple of months have again been busy for all those who care for the land, in whatever capacity. As the weather warms the grass and weeds start to grow, but why is it that the weeds seem to grow more? Well in most cases it means your soil needs improvement, so try a soil conditioner like Seasol, add organic matter and aeration can work wonders. Our soils here are deficient in some trace elements and are inclined to be acidic. (which is fine if you’re growing blueberries, rhodos and camellias, not so good for pastures.) It is really worth having your soils tested and make a few adjustments to really reap the benefits. Two of our members recently attended the Landcare Tasmania Conference in the beautiful Huon Valley. Lots of inspiring speakers, great field trips and a fun Awards Night and dinner M C’d by the diminutive but very amusing and energetic Costa from Gardening Australia. Transcripts of most of the sessions will be available soon to anyone interested. It was a great opportunity to see what other Landcare groups are up to, and I can tell you our group compares very favourably. We are moving our gear into the container on the school farm very soon. It has been a long and drawn out battle with council. Once that is done and dusted we will be applying for more grants to further enhance our district. Members are reminded your annual fees are due, and you can now pay by direct debit, so stay alert for information about that. Help will be needed for the next Lilydale Market stall as some members will be away. Please contact Nick Wordsworth, Kate Case or Wilma Ashby to offer your support.
Happy landcaring and start doing rain dances please!

Golconda Road, Lebrina from Denison Gorge Road to the railway crossing will be upgraded early in the New Year. Andrew Walters Pty Ltd has been awarded the contract to widen this section of road to an 8 metre wide sealed road. They plan to start the work early in the New Year and as with all road work there will be directional signage and a lowered speed limit in the work area. The work should take some weeks to complete. Draft Bushfire Management Strategy The City of Launceston owns and manages approximately 400 hectares of open forest, woodland and grassland vegetation in 34 Reserves. A Draft Bushfire Management Strategy has been developed and it is intended to be a 10 year strategy with a minor review in 5 years. Tasmanian Fire Service and Parks and Wildlife and the Tamar Fire Management Area Committee were consulted in the development of this strategy and we now invite the community to comment. Have we listed all the objectives? Have we covered all the strategic actions? You are invited to complete the online survey at www.yourvoiceyourlaunceston.com.au The closing date for comment is 9 November 2015
