THE ULTIMATE SHAGGY DOG STORY By Wilma Johnson (Cobaw) Relaxing over a cup of tea after a recent CWA meeting one of the members related the ultimate shaggy dog story. Her old dog was feeling unsettled and timid as the result of a recent move so she shut him in her bedroom while her husband and a friend were repainting the kitchen. They stopped for a break leaving the paint tray on the floor. She went into the room to see how they were getting on. She didn’t realize that (A) she had left her bedroom door ajar and (B) the dog had followed her into the room to investigate what was happening. When she turned around she almost tripped over the dog. Startled, it turned to flee, running THROUGH the paint tray, getting not only its paws but long hair on its chest covered in paint. It kept running leaving its paw prints stencilled on the carpet in the lounge room (where it paused in order to shake the ex-cess paint on its coat leaving paint spatters on the furniture) then continued through the hallway and into the spare bedroom before she caught him and imprisoned him in the bathroom. In a highly nervous state he poohed and wee-ed across the floor there while she was cleaning up the mess in the rest of the house. Her husband said wryly “Well thank goodness the paint was water based and not enamel!” THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD 1928-1940 Part Three of Max’s Story By Max Barton (Pastoria) We had kerosene lamps and the safe hurri-cane lantern which was left burning all night. Later we bought a petrol lamp (pressure) with mantles. A bright light, but moths flew into the mantles, so we had to get a wire screen beneath the mantles. Without screens the mantles would have been broken each night. These lamps had to be filled daily, wicks trimmed and glass washed if necessary. We were never allowed to read in bed with candles, in case the

curtains caught alight, or we knocked them over. We were encouraged to read and had a won-derful collection of books. I was not a great reader. Couldn’t sit still long enough, thought I might miss something happening outside. We were lucky having a piano and a mother who played well, so our pleasures were music and singing around the piano. My brother John played the violin and he often joined in. We knew all the songs of our parents era and it’s now, as I look through the music in the piano stool I realize so many of them were patriotic songs. Every second Sunday night we sang hymns around the piano, mother’s book had the num-bers of the assorted hymnaries we owned. No wonder we had such a love of hymns and psalms. The other Sunday we went to the Go-shen Hall for church service, where the steam-ers from the dance the night before moved in the breeze, always something to look at whilst the minister preached the sermon. I guess it did not matter – the service not held in church. A wireless did not come into our home till about 1934-35. A friend of our brother John made it for us. Crackles, squeaks and high pitch sounds was part of its workings. But we had moved into the future. Sitting listening to the cricket descriptions was a trial; also being shushed if we spoke when the news was on. Imagine how I felt when a new valve had to be replaced after some weeks. As I dusted the wireless I fused anoth-er valve. Another few weeks went by before the family could afford to replace it. We had so looked forward to listening to the wireless again. Acceptance by the family eased my guilt. I was about 17 at the time. A friend gave us a Sonora gramophone, oh to be able to play a few records. Harry Lauder’s “Roamin in the Gloamin” as well as some of the Will Fyfe’s records. I even purchased “Pennies from Heaven” and learnt the words from the record.

LASER BEAM LIFESAVER Found in a magazine & submitted by Mollymac A pen shaped device which shines a laser beam into the heart could transform heart at-tack detection for surgeons world wide – and potentially save many lives. Doctors in Boston, USA. Have developed a special pen which is able to detect minute changes in the heart muscle that often signals an imminent heart attack. During surgery, this early warning would give doctors enough time to increase oxygen supply and prevent the at-tack. Human trials are now underway and UK heart surgeons say the device “ looks promising” HOW DID YOU GET TO SCHOOL? By Mollymac – Cobaw My story is I walked about 5 mins and I was there! As I lived in a village, not really the kind of story we are looking for! I have heard so many Australians tell of going on horseback, in a cart, in a truck or walking!! Makes me feel there was something missing in my childhood! So come on all you Aussie’s, European’s, Afri-cans, Indians, Americans, Canadians and any I have missed. We want to hear your story to make our Whis-perer more interesting. Tell the Staff or Carer’s if you have a story for us and we will come along and write it down. TRAVELLING TO SCHOOL 1932-1944 By Betty Young (Cobaw) To Taradale Primary school 614 1. By horse and gig and buggy for 3 ¾ miles with parents 2. By bike for 3 ¾ miles downhill and the re-turn journey UPHILL for same distance and all weathers 3. By car To Kyneton High School – boarded BUT rode bike 12 ¾ miles Monday morning and Friday night or Saturday morning. Sometimes rode bike to Taradale station then at Kyneton walked up to school.

seniority and shortly after 1999 he did a War-rant Officer’s course and graduated as a Cap-tain with three years seniority. 2013 saw him in Afghanistan where they were given much more realistic training than had been offered in Kosovo. There was always the fear of the unknown. The difficulty in identifying the enemy, the inge-nuity of the UED’s (ie. Booby traps), demand-ing constant vigilance at all times. When he returned he was able to deal with the subsequent PTSD and in 2016 he was posted to Iraq. Prior to departing they were given even more intensive training including how to deal with a gas attack while wearing full body armour in 50 degree c heat. Craig described all these events very graph-ically and we were spell bound by his elo-quence, as well as amused by his occasional funny anecdote. In January 2020 Craig will retire after 40 years in the Army. He is proud of his service to his country and the uniform he wears and says he would do it all again. We thank him and wish him well on his retire-ment and hope he enjoys it as much as he did his Army career. SOMETHING WE DIDN’T KNOW LAST WEEK Information from a magazine Submitted by Mollymac (Cobaw) Hot Cross Buns are much more than sweet and spicy rolls marking the end of Lent. Ac-cording to superstitions dating back to mediae-val times, hot cross buns are supposed to ward off evil spirits, Prevent kitchen fires and guarantee good bak-ing results. While sharing a hot cross bun with someone you’ll be friends for at least a year. Hot cross buns were even rumoured to protect boats from being shipwrecked.

BEGGING THE QUESTION By Wilma Johnson – Cobaw MAJOR CRAIG BYRNE was our June “Begging the Question” guest. In an hour long talk and the subsequent eager ques-tions, he admirably summed up his life for the past 45 years from his childhood with his par-ents and three brothers and two sisters in a small Housing Commission home in Laver-ton,( where the four boys shared the main bedroom in two bunks and his parents and two sisters occupied two smaller bedrooms). His education at the local Technical school, his choice of becoming an Army Apprentice (after being accepted by the Navy, Railways and Telstra) a choice that led to a lifelong ca-reer. He detailed his training as an electrical fitter, his love of football (which saw him briefly in the VFA for Werribee and Wodonga and four premierships while stationed at Bandiana) his various postings, including Balcombe, Townsville, Darwin and Canberra, working on power generators, leopard tanks and protec-tive mobility vehicles. After 19 ½ years he got his first overseas posting. He was seconded to the British Ar-my stationed in Munster, Germany, serving with the Kings Royal Hussars. He stopped for one day in London and by flashing his Army pass was shown over No 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s residence. Three days after arriving in Germany the reg-iment was deployed to Kosovo as part of the Nato force, helping to quell the civil war be-tween Kosovo and Serbia. His horrible experiences there led to post-traumatic stress disorder for which he suc-cessfully sought treatment and was able to continue his Army career. He was posted to the Victoria Barracks on his return and his next deployment was to East Timor where he spent a total of seven months, during which time he had a short pe-riod of compassionate leave following the death of his Father. Over the years he gradually gained his

BIRD’S CAGE We would like to thank Mr. Arnold Jenkins for the use of a bird’s cage to transfer the budgies to Amanda’s home for the winter & to Jo Gooch for donating a cage for ongoing use. The budgies now have a new cage which we will all see when they come back to us in the spring. Many thanks to Mr. Jenkins & to Jo Gooch. FUNNY THINGS CHILDREN DO OR SAY By Mollymac-Cobaw We are sure that many of our residents have stories to tell, Wilma has led off with her story so we would like others to follow suit. Ask the Staff or any of the Carers to let us know that you have a story and we will come along and write it down for you. I am sure there are many Grannies and Great Grannies that have good stories to tell, probably Grandad’s and Great Grandad’s too. All will be appreciated to keep our “Whisperer” interesting. OUT OF THE MOUTHS... By Wilma Johnson -- Cobaw One of the most endearing traits of small chil-dren is their mispronouncing of words and the coining of new ones that become part of the family language. My 6 year old daughter came home from school and told me her teacher was away be-cause she had CONVRONKTERITIS – a won-derful description of a hacking cough! --- while her 4year old sister at the loss of a name for something she miss said she was looking for “ A GING –GANG FOR A WING – WANG BRI-DLE” and 6 year old granddaughter told us that she had become “ CONFLUZED “ , again a marvellous description of being totally flum-moxed. We are hoping that you will share with us some of the words your children have come out with that are part of your family vocabulary. If you can help out with this segment please tell Amanda or any staff member who will glad-ly pass on your “gems” for inclusion in “The Happy Whisperer “.

LOCAL COUNTRYSIDE TOUR 27th APRIL 2018 By Bev Coutts (Pastoria) Ken Rose and Amanda McCarthy organised for nine residents a morning outing. Leaving Kyneton we headed north along the Redesdale Road. Turned into Banbower Road where we had a good view over the Campaspe River and admired the magnificent stone walls that a fel-low RMB resident, Ian Strawhorn had con-structed. Onto Max Baton’s former home and more stone work constructed by her son Hunt-ly. We had a glimpse of our CEO’s home as we turned left onto gravel road heading for Malmsbury. There we had a good view of the railway viaduct and the famous gardens which was recently enhanced by a new bridge giving access to the island in the centre of the lake. Onwards along Young’s Road heading for Lau-riston we made a detour into Young’s back yard and noted the tree planting over the years. At Lauriston we ventured down a road leading to another arm of the Malmsbury Res-ervoir which like the ‘arm’ at Betty Young’s was dry. We saw where Mary Neale lived and then realised time was against us and regretfully we headed for home and our midday meal. So we have still to visit the Drummond area and then Woodend and other places. A hearty vote of thanks was extended to Ken and Amanda for our lovely outing. MEMORABLE QUOTES “The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age”. -Lucille Ball “I'm 59 and people call me middle aged. How many 118 year old men do you know?” - Barry Cryer “I used to have Mad Cow's disease, but I'm alright Nooooooooow”. - Billy Connolly “I don't care what is written about me as long as it isn't true”. - Katherine Hepburn

HALF A MILLION REASONS TO BE GRATEFUL By Wilma Johnson (Cobaw) Every fortnight a volunteer takes me into Kyneton to change my library books and do necessary shopping. As I awaited their always prompt arrival I started thinking of the countless hours volunteers past and present have devoted to our welfare over the past forty years. Setting aside the amount of their own money they have expended on petrol and on helping raise so many thousands of dol-lars for R.M. Begg Aged Care, think of the hours spent in knitting and making jams and chutneys, in meetings and in one – on – one care, in running our weekly shop and Trolley and a score of other activities that provide assistance to paid staff and make the task of caring for ninety frail residents less onerous and without a doubt more comfortable for us Wages have changed dramatically since the Auxiliary began its work 40 years ago, volunteer numbers have fluctuated , however assessing it at the very conservative of the rate of $10 an hour, I believe I am justified in thinking that $500.000 would barely cover our debt to these tire-less good Samaritans. I feel sure all readers of this edition of “The Happy Whisperer “ will thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

FRST JOB By Mollymac - Cobaw I left school at 14yrs and went to work in a grocer shop, this was near the end of WW2. Rationing was still very strict, it was in the days where you went into the grocer shop and asked the assistant for whatever you wanted. This could be quite amusing as the old dears would say “a pound of butter please!” I would look at the ration book and they were only allowed 4oz a week( not sure of the amount this far on!) so of course had to give her a small piece and she would look at me with tears in her eyes, So of course I would slip her another bit to slip in her bag quickly. Trouble was it got about and ALL the old la-dies who came in headed for me! So I was given a lecture by the manageress, one more time and I was out. I told my mother who said “leave now, before you get a bad reputation!!” So I did and found a job in a large industrial canteen as assistant cook! But that is another story. Now, who has a much better job story to tell? We will be happy to come to you and you can tell us and we will put it in the Whisperer, like this one.

WINTER PICNICS

Submitted by Mollymac

Some years ago we had a dog

And sundry cats galore

And trying to make our winter walks

A little less a chore

I hit upon a bright idea

Of picnics in the car

At first the children thought it odd

They said it was bizarre

But when we’d driven to the woods

And walked for chilly miles

The thought of still warm sausages

Turned frowns back to smiles!

When baked potatoes wrapped in foil

And treats for one and all

I found our winter walks were not

The slightest chore of all!

Poem By Eileen Hay - From Peoples Friend

DO YOUKNOW YOUR MOVIES? People must be sick of the two dumb thumbs stuck in the air by a pair of well-paid, com-mercially popular film reviewers. Anyway, everybody knows that if the films they’re talk-ing about were any good, they’d have all four thumbs up, right? Read on and see if you can guess which great movies are summarized in one sen-tence (answers at the end)

Dirty old rich man dumps wife and family for young, blonde filly with a speech impedi-ment, who drinks herself into a stupor and ends up gone.

WW II draft dodging, gin-swilling, Fedora-wearing dude flees U.S., is spurned by a sentimental Parisian woman who’s really from Sweden, dumps her, then vanishes into the night with another man.

Intimidating New York control freak with hanging jowls helps his friends by utilizing guns, lawyers and long-distance animal abuse.

Dixie buttercup achieves riches and finds love by flaunting her beauty, betraying friends, and smacking servants upside they heads, while others lose their lives in her be-half.

British Officer becomes enchanted fighting for freedom in foreign land, sucks up to royalty, and becomes famous for wearing a dress.

Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.

College boy wants girl, compromises by humping her mother until a yellow bus carries him off to a future of probable poverty with vacillating trophy girl bride.

Two brothers start out together in life but arrive at separate destinations, one smashed up yet victorious, the other just hanging out.

A man whose business is failing meets a dead geezer and hallucinates his way to hap-piness.

CROSSWORD ANSWERS

POPEYE

THE FOURTH OF JULY Submitted by Alistair McCormick – a story he remembers from years ago (Cobaw) In a poverty-stricken little Mexican village very close to the Californian border there lives a ra-ther small, highly impoverished Mexican, Jose Gonzales by name. Jose has one great desire in life, to get into California and go to a top-level baseball match. He had tried often but the border police had turned him back on eve-ry occasion. At last he slipped through while the Border Police were at lunch and escaped among the crowd in. Eventually he found a sta-dium which was advertising a major league baseball match for the following day, all he had

to do was get into the stadium and find a place where he could hide and still see the match. Not an easy task. The stadium was locked tight, the only open door being one where a truck was delivering crates of beer for the mor-row. Jose got round that by picking up a crate of beer and walking in. Now he had to find a place to hide. There it was, a tall mast with a small platform on top and up Jose went just as darkness was falling. He settled down and was soon asleep. The next thing he heard was the crowd coming in for the match, it was light and Hose found he could watch the crowd and the pitch quite well. As time for first pitch grew closer the crowd grew bigger and, as if by order, they all stood up looked at the top of the pole where a flag was just appearing and placed their right hand over their heart and, as one voice, OH SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT…… Jose is still convinced they were singing only for him.
