CTDA Presidents Report October, 2008 November promises to be a busy month in town. The National Gallery of Victoria bus tour will be in town on Thursday October 30 with about 40 people. On Monday, November 3, the National Monaro Club will be gathering in Clunes with a large number of cars and possibly 400-600 people. Shepparton Probus Club will hosted in Clunes on 20 November. Occasionally, groups come to Clunes unannounced. If anyone knows of an impending visit, please let the CTDA know so appropriate preparations can be made and coordinated – catering provided, parking reserved etc. It has been a pleasure to write letters of support for a number of organisations applying for grants to enhance there facilities and/or services. It is very pleasing to note that the applications are for projects not just for the benefit of the members of the particular organisations but for the general community. The Clunes Community Group has been working with Council’s consultant to establish a long-term vision for Clunes. A public meeting will be announced shortly and I urge all residents to attend so all views are expressed. I will end this report as I always do. Please join the CTDA and attend the meetings. Have your say about the town, its services or lack thereof, and how you would like to see it now and in twenty years. Chris Fenner President

Firstly, let me introduce myself. My name is Athol

CHAFFEY and I am a Leading Senior Constable attached to the

Central Goldfields Traffic Management Unit (a.k.a

Maryborough Highway Patrol) and I am filling in for Leading

Senior Constable Bob BIRD, whilst he is on extended leave. I

will be applying for the permanent position of Officer in Charge

of Clunes Police when it is vacant in the near future.

I have met many locals and business owners from the town in

the 3 - 4 weeks that I have been in the town so far. Everyone

has been very friendly and welcoming to me.

One thing that I have noticed is how fiercely proud the

locals are of their beautiful town, and what‟s not to be proud

of. Now Clunes is not exactly a hotbed of crime, which is great,

but times have changed and the days of leaving your house/cars

unlocked have definitely gone. Unfortunately with the influx of

visitors and people passing through the propensity for crimes of

opportunity are there.

The role of a local copper, in a small town, is to get involved

in the community as much as possible, as I plan to do if

successful in obtaining the vacancy, as whom ever replaces Bob

BIRD will be part of the community as well.

The partnership between the local copper and the community

is advantageous to both parties in the exchange of

information. The locals that I have spoken to all want to know

what is going on in their town and the local knowledge that is

out there in the community is a valuable tool to Victoria Police.

I would like to hear if you would be interested in establishing

a Neighbourhood Watch Program for Clunes and district. I am

not calling for volunteers yet or going to lob jobs on any person

who responds, this is just to gauge public interest.

Enquires to Leading Senior Constable Athol CHAFFEY

Clunes Police Station 5345 3211 email

athol.chaffey@police.vic.gov.au

for more info or for any other matters that you need help with.

Looking forward to hearing from the good people of Clunes.

Thank you for your time, Athol.

What is Touch for Health?

Touch for Health kinesiology is a system of natural health care which combines muscle monitoring (testing) with

principles of Chinese medicine to assess energy and body function, applying a range of gentle yet powerful healing

techniques to improve health, wellbeing and vitality.

Simple yet powerful corrections are applied, using muscle testing to create balance within the meridian system of

the body – on all levels. TFHK addresses the structural, nutritional and emotional stresses common in our everyday

life. Using muscle testing, benefits are attained by acupuncture meridian energy, identifying foods that raise the body‟s

energy, reducing stress and pain, enhancing physical performance, improving vision, sensory input and brain function,

and by improving posture, co-ordination and learning difficulties.

A fundamental premise of TFHK is that the body has innate healing energy and is doing its best to care for itself,

but sometimes needs assistance to achieve this state.

What is TFHK used for?

Pain

Stress & Confusion

Depressive Tendencies

Digestive Disorders

Fatigue & Tiredness

Back Problems

Learning Disabilities

Allergic Responses

Respiratory Issues

Nervous Disorders

Sports Injuries

Personal Development & Lifestyle Enhancement

Don‟t forget the Sunscreen With warmer weather comes the risk of sun burn. The most

serious form of skin cancer, melanoma, is strongly related to

episodes of sun burn. However, the total amount of sun exposure

over a lifetime can also be a factor. Therefore as we get older

the risk of sun cancer increases. As particularly rural men often

spend more time in the sun than women their risk can be

greater. The good news is that most skin cancers can be

prevented with sun protection behavior (i.e. slip, slop, slap) and

can be treated if detected early. Remember to slip, slop, slap

whenever you are in the sun.

“Self Life not Shelf Life”

A film about the

Positive Images of Aging

Sixty Clunes luminaries attended the world premiere of

the documentary on Positive Images of Ageing, “Self Life

not Shelf Life”.The supper room of the town hall saw

witness to the superbly shot and edited 45 minute film.

Created to coincide with senior‟s week 08, the film,

devised and produced by Karen McMullen, show cased

the non- traditional view of getting old in the intercut

interviews of the 17 or so people featured in the worthy

film.

Avoiding bathos and making sure to underline

positivity the documentary explores the paramount

importance of companionship with old friends and

partners, with charming and occasionally hilarious results.

“Putting the backdrop forward” as Kerry Loughrey said

in her opening remarks, in her guise as chairperson of the

Neighbourhood house under whose aegis the film was

made. The backdrops being the people of Clunes and

districts, and what a startling and informative bunch they

are.

The wonderful soundtrack over which the

immaculately edited images overlay was provided by two

of the interviewees. Singer song writer Stephanie

Falconer, double bass player Janet Gaden and the U3A

Orchestra. It is hoped that another screening is possible for

those who missed out.

This correspondent after seeing this film is enthused about

getting a little older and wiser. And the refreshments

provided afterward superb under the backdrop of the

splendid town hall auditorium. Devils on horseback and

champagne, yum!

Congratulations to all concerned

Sponsored by:

The Victorian Seniors Festival this year saw the Clunes Neighbourhood House

taking part in a year long project on the positive Images Of Ageing. During this time

I was able to interview a number of people from Clunes and the Central Highlands

of Victoria on the Passion in their lives, their families, interests, activities and

highlights over the years. My small crew and I came away from the project with a

sense of awe and inspiration of our senior members of the community. After each

film shoot we were left with the feeling that we were involved in an extraordinary

community event.

One of the most outstanding moments of the project was our interview with Amy

Cook and the Torney family. Amy touched our hearts with her grace and respect for

the project. During the final days of editing (during seniors week) Amy sadly passed

away. Therefore we would like to take this opportunity to dedicate the project to her

and to thank her family for allowing us into her home to capture the spirit of this

lovely lady.

A huge thanks goes to all participants in the documentary, each will receive their

own copy of the DVD and David Brown and Jade Smithard who assisted me in the

film making process. And thanks to our sponsors for making the project possible.

Karen McMullan - Coordinator Clunes Neighbourhood House.

Approximately four years ago, Clunes resident artist

designer Clayton Edwards came up with the idea of to redevelop

and improve the bottle museum to make it more attractive and

visitor friendly. After some initial setbacks, through

perseverance and dedication Clayton‟s brilliant and innovative

ideas are finally taking form and slowly coming to fruition.

With a gratefully received grant of $20000 and enthusiastic

support from the Hugh Williamson Foundation together with the

assistance of Heritagecare volunteers, Clayton is turning a

somewhat overwhelming display of approximately 7000 bottles

into an interesting, informative and fascinating walk down

memory lane.

The shop front facades in stage two are indicative of the way

the bottles would have been displayed in the original setting e.g.

chemist shop etc., and in the next stage, a pub and an industrial

area are planned, audio-visual screens will also be installed to

provide our visitors with detailed information on the various

exhibits.

As the project unfolds, the museum is beginning to attract a lot

of interest from tourists and bottle collecting enthusiasts, partly

--->>>

due to some ongoing stories about the museum which have

appeared in the Australian Bottles and Collectables Review

which has a large circulation Australia wide and overseas. The

recent installation of the Clunes‟s Primary School children‟s

mural in the revamped Information Centre attracted good media

coverage and has been favourably commented on by visitors to

the centre. The committee intends to pursue an increasing

promotion campaign over the coming months as the project

progresses.

Tourism is the life blood of the township of Clunes and the

Bottle Museum is proud to be doing its bit to help attract visitors

to our lovely and historic town.

We sincerely hope to gain the support of our fellow residents of

Clunes and surrounding areas.

Come and pay us a visit, our extremely large and “resident

rodents” Mollie and Milton will be here to greet you. We will

keep you posted on further developments

Sudoku Puzzles (NEW)

Farmer Ed refers to cattle as vobs, bears as srus, horses as uqes, & pigs as crops. What in the world does he call sheep?

Answer

Vos. A very tricky puzzle! The adjective form of cattle is bovine. Remove the ine, read it backward, & then add an s, & you have vobs. By the same reasoning, bear = ursine = srus, horse = equine = uqes, pigs = porcine = crops, & sheep = ovine = vos. Even if you got this extremely difficult puzzle right, please don't go around calling animals by these names!

REPORT BY CR TIM HAYES

CAMERON WARD COUNCILLOR Due to the editorial deadlines set by the Clunes Community

News, it is not known – at the time of writing this report –

whether there will be an election in the Cameron Ward in the

forthcoming Council Elections. Nominations for the elections

close at 12 noon on 28 October and, should there be more than

one nomination, an election will be conducted by postal voting

and will conclude on Saturday 29 November. I have previously

indicated that I will be a candidate for the election.

When I stood for Council in the March 2006 By-election, I

nominated „Economic Development‟ as my main priority and

for the need to promote Clunes, with its outstanding heritage

features, as a desirable tourist destination. For towns such as

Clunes to remain sustainable, we need to have a viable

commercial sector and a vibrant community that encourages

residents to participate in sporting, social and cultural

organizations.

At that time, one third of the commercial premises in Fraser

Street were unoccupied and the concept of „Booktown‟ – the

development of which I am proud to have been involved - had

not been envisaged. Today, interest in Clunes for commercial, as

well as residential, properties is unprecedented – however the

need is yet to be fulfilled. More work needs to be undertaken on

attracting the right type of retail businesses, in encouraging the

owners of commercial properties to bring their buildings up to

acceptable standards and to identify existing buildings and land

for future retail uses.

Hepburn Shire is probably the only rural shire in Victoria

that does not have an Economic Development strategy. That will

be addressed in 2009 and I hope to have some role in

formulating that strategy.

The CTDA and the Clunes Newsletter do not endorse this or any candidate. All candidates will be

provided with the same opportunity.

When the history of this era of the Hepburn Shire is written,

I will at least have some consolation in the fact that no-one has

been able to point the finger at me regarding my demeanour or

behaviour, that my actions have never resulted in the Council

having to receive legal advice and that I have never been

accused of bullying.

Despite these problems I have to say that the majority of

Councillors have co-operated and worked very well together and

at the end of the day this is the true test of democracy. The

increase in the number of Councillors from 5 to 7, as from this

election, will I believe improve the decision making processes.

I look forward to representing the interests of Cameron Ward

during the next term of Council.

fielding.

President Barry has core aerated the oval and seeded it with

rye grass, the club again thanks The Shire Council for it‟s

assistance with this work. The ground will benefit greatly by

of Maureen Goldsmith, Bob and Rhonda Broughton, Marie
