Champs honoured

Pandemic recovery fund

By Jessica Micallef Not many people label a defeat as one of their greatest achievements. But Mario Magris has shown how a defeat can shape anyone’s life. he Sunbury resident has been appointed an oicer of the Order of Australia in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list for his dedication to the boxing industry. Mr Magris, 76, said it was a great honour to receive the Order of Australia medal. “I’m still on cloud nine to be receiving an award like this for something that I love very much,” he said. Mr Magris began his career as a boxer in 1957 at 13-years-old. He had his irst ight as an amateur boxer in 1958 in Ringwood before he turned professional in 1964. he boxing enthusiast said a trip to the cinema with his mum inspired him to one day put the boxing gloves on. “She took me to the ilms in 1947 to watch Body and Soul,” he said. “It’s a story about a boxer and there was something about that ilm. Since then I always wanted to be a boxer and I never stopped wanting to be one.” Mr Magris travelled all over Australia, participating in 78 ights before he retired in 1970 at the young age of 25. “I came down with a very rare blood disorder … it was chronic anemia, it’s a weakness in the blood,” he said. Mr Magris was inducted into the Victorian Boxing Hall of Fame in 2004. But he says his greatest achievement of all was his three defeats to Australian boxing champion Lionel Rose. “I still remember how close the ights were,” he said. “He became a world champion. He beat me three times. To be able to go the distance in two very close decisions – people still remember those ights.” Riddells Creek’s Susan Mayes was made a member in the general division of the Order of Australia for her physiotherapy service and dedication at he Australian Ballet spanning nearly 25 years. “I came from a ballet background, I studied dance well into my 20s and I experienced quite a few injuries and I started to discover physio. “Once I inished my physio, I was really quite driven to try and look ater dancers’ health.” Ms Mayes is the director of artistic health and the principal physiotherapist at he

Mount Macedon resident Ronald Alexander has also been awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his work in the Strathieldsaye shire, now known as the City of Greater Bendigo. “I got on council in 1972 [and] I served there for 20 years,” he said. Gisborne’s Julien O’Connell has been made an oicer in the general division if the order of Australia for his involvement in tertiary education and community health.

He has been Australian Catholic University’s pro-chancellor since 2015 and has dedicated many years to Victoria’s health sector, including chairing the Mercy Health Foundation and Mercy Health Australia. “I have been engaged with work that is beneicial in society at large, be it across hospitals, aged care, disability and the university life,”he said. Mr O’Connell was also appointed a member of the Order of Australia in 2013.

A $1.1 million recovery fund to support the community and local businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic has been proposed in the Macedon Ranges council 2020-21 drat budget. he fund is aimed at helping the community and local businesses recover from the pandemic and includes additional funding for the council’s existing grant programs, the waiver of footpath permit renewals for businesses with current permits, support for a business phone counselling service, backing for programs supporting volunteers and vulnerable people, and a deferral of late fees on overdue animal registrations until September 30. he council’s chief executive Margot Stork said each year the council aimed to produce a balanced budget. She said the council’s annual income for 2020-21 was about $100 million. “he drat budget includes $23.6 million in capital works projects … which will provide a much-needed boost for the local economy and to maintain and create jobs,” she said. Projects proposed for funding include a new Kyneton kindergarten, stage two of the Romsey Ecotherapy Park, netball courts in Woodend, oval lighting at Lanceield Park, the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct in New Gisborne, an upgrade to the playing surface at the Barkly Square Field in Kyneton, an increase in building renewal works at community facilities and footpath improvement programs across the municipality. he drat budget also proposes a two per cent rate rise, in line with the state-imposed rate cap and a ive per cent increase to the council’s kerbside collection charges due to changes in the recycling industry.

Council blocks supermarket permit extension An application for a two-year extension to a planning permit to build a supermarket in Riddells Creek has been knocked back by Macedon Ranges council. he landowners requested an extension to make the site “attractive” to potential buyers. However, Cr Jennifer Anderson said the original application presented to the council 10 years ago was no longer appropriate today. “We need a fresh application for this site,” she said. “Riddells Creek has come a long way in trying to deine its character and the planning scheme has matured.

“We have an opportunity here for a brilliant design, a fresh application, something that will probably get less objections because a new application could work with the community.” An application to build a supermarket at 1-3 Station Street, including 16 shops, a cafe and car park spaces, was originally presented to the council in 2010. he permit was granted in February 2013, however objectors lodged an appeal with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). he matter was heard in November 2014 and

VCAT upheld the council’s decision. A planning permit was reissued in December 2014. At the time, the applicant had until December 2017 to commence the development and December 2019 for completion. In December 2017, council oicers granted a two-year extension to commence development and be completed by December 2021. A second request for an extension of time was put forward to councillors at their meeting last month. Applicant representative Andrew McPherson said the original landowners no longer had the

“appetite” to complete the development and would prefer to sell the site. He said an extension was needed to ensure the planning permit was “attractive” to potential buyers. “We have a real estate agent that has been employed for the last two years and they have to have two potential purchasers in the wings just waiting to look at a planning permit and then we can look at the sale process from there,” he said. All councillors refused to grant an extension. Jessica Micallef

Hume has the ninth highest recorded number of coronavirus cases across the state. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, there were 64 cases in Hume, as of Wednesday, seven of those cases were active. In the Macedon Ranges, cases remained steady at nine cases, none of them were active. In Victoria, there were 1670 conirmed COVID-19 cases, as of Wednesday. here have been 176 cases in Victoria that may have been acquired through community transmission. Victoria’s chief health oicer professor Brett Sutton said the recent easing of restrictions was not an excuse to become complacent. “Our low rate of community transmission means we have been able to ease some restrictions,” he said. “Although it’s tempting to rush out and book that weekend away or have your friends over, it is important that we use common sense. “In all your activities, be considered, be cautious and stay safe. And if you don’t have to do it – don’t. “We need to continue to follow physical distancing rules and practice good hygiene – wash your hands regularly and cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow.” Mr Sutton urged Victorians to continue working from home if able to do so. “By doing the right thing, we can continue to keep one another safe,“ he said. “And if you do feel unwell with any symptoms of coronavirus you should get tested.” Jessica Micallef

Golfers should be allowed back on to Victoria’s fairways for exercise, according to Goonawarra Golf Club chairman Hans van Pelt. Earlier this month, the state government introduced new rules outlawing the sport and forcing clubs to shut their doors. However, Victoria is the only state to introduce a ban on golf, with the sport able to continue on greens interstate, as long as social distancing regulations are followed. Mr van Pelt said the Victorian ban had caused a lot of frustration among golfers. He has called for the state government to reverse its decision. “Golf is an outdoor activity that can be run in line with the isolation requirements,” he said. Mr van Pelt said the golf club, like many other supporting organisations, had been impacted inancially by the coronavirus pandemic. He said the club had stood down workers, with the bar, bistro and pro shop closed. HANS VAN PELT

Cash splash for council projects By Jessica Micallef Macedon Ranges and Hume councils will share in a federal government cash splash to prioritise local projects. he government last month announced a $500 million package to be shared among councils across Australia as part of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program. he program is aimed to help deliver more jobs across local communities through priority projects aimed at infrastructure upgrades and

maintenance. Macedon Ranges council will receive more than $1.4 million and Hume council more than $1.6 million in funding to go towards improving bridges and tunnels, street lighting and heavy vehicle facilities such as rest areas. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said local governments had to play an important role in responding to the impacts of COVID-19. “Our funding boost will help councils accelerate priority projects that will employ locally and support local businesses and also stimulate our economy,” he said.

“hese projects will cut travel times, make our communities safer and upgrade the facilities we all enjoy while also getting more people into jobs. “We know this is going to be vital support, particularly for councils that have faced the combined impacts of drought, bushires and now COVID-19.” he roads and infrastructure program boost forms part of a $1.8 billion stimulus package which includes bringing forward $1.3 billion of Financial Assistance Grants to help communities battling the efects of COVID-19.

A pictorial journey through time

Deputy prime minister Michael McCormack said supporting councils to improve local roads and community infrastructure would have lasting economic and social beneits for communities. “his package will improve road safety and bolster the resilience of our local road networks, which will get Australians home sooner and safer, no matter where they live,” he said. Guidelines for the program will be provided directly to the councils by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.

5G network in Kyneton

he Gisborne and Mount Macedon Districts Historical Society has reproduced its book Pictorial Gisborne into a sot cover version, 18 years ater it was originally published. he book takes a glimpse into the history of Gisborne through a series of photographs, showcasing the town and neighbouring areas between 1851 and 2001. Society president Frank Porter said the book was a virtual journey through time. “A lot of changes have occurred,” he said. “It shows how the buildings have changed, it shows diferent street scenes from the periods. “he book shows the old shire of Gisborne which covered Bullengarook, Riddells Creek, Macedon, Mount Macedon [and] South Gisborne. “It gives snapshots of the various areas’ histories. It’s a good cofee table book.” Society volunteers originally collected the timeless photos through donations and countless hours of research at the State Library Victoria. “We are basically a volunteer organisation,” Mr Porter said. “It took a couple of years to collect the photos.” Pictorial Gisborne can be purchased for $25 and can be ordered at history@ gisbornemountmacedon.org.au

Telstra has begun the rollout of the 5G network across Kyneton. Telstra acting regional general manager Marcus Swinburne said Kyneton was among the irst 47 towns and cities to have the 5G network switched on. “his is a game-changer for locals and businesses in Kyneton and will provide Telstra customers using 5G devices with higher speeds, lower latency and greater capacity, especially in peak times when the network can be at its busiest,” he said. “here will also be low-on beneits to our 4G users with upgrades to our mobile network in Kyneton, improving capacity for all our mobile customers.” Kyneton joins Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Hamilton, Horsham, Mildura, Swan Hill, Wallan and Warrnambool as the regional Victorian towns where the 5G rollout has started. In January, Australia’s Chief Medical Oicer Professor Brendan Murphy responded to claims that 5G technology was to blame for the rapid spread of COVID-19. “here is no evidence telecommunication technologies, such as 5G, cause adverse health impacts,” he said in a statement. “his position is supported by health authorities in Australia – such as the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency – and around the world, such as the World Health Organization (WHO).” To use the 5G network, individuals will need a 5G-enabled phone, 5G coverage and a 5G mobile plan.

the hours of operation for the two services. he childcare centre was proposed to operate from Monday to Friday, between 6.30am-6.30pm, while the medical centre would have operated Monday to Friday, 8.30am-8pm and on Saturdays between 8.30am-3.30pm. “We also need to consider safety … particularly of traic to be generated,” Cr Gayfer said. “I have heard from a lot of concerned residents, particularly those with young children. hey are concerned about the increase in car movements.

“Residents are also concerned about the hours and the impact of people coming and going from these centres.” Cr Mandi Mees said the proposal provided two essential services to the community. “he character of the area is just developing and the application would serve the population within walking distance of some very important community services,” she said.

MALMSBURY RESERVOIR

Autumn rain boosts storages Above average autumn rainfall has catchment storages on the Coliban River near Kyneton in a good position for winter inlows, according to Coliban Water. he water company’s climate and population adaption executive general manager Steve Healy said rainfall during autumn pushed the combined catchment storage volume at Upper Coliban, Lauriston and Malmsbury reservoirs to 69 per cent – 10 per cent higher than for the same time last year. “Our autumn rainfall was 257 millimetres, which is compared to our long-term average

of 149 millimetres,” he said. “Last autumn, we had good rainfall in May, but this year we’ve had rain over three months. We recorded 35 millimetres at Malmsbury Reservoir on March 5, our highest daily rainfall for three years. “With the wet catchment, we can expect some good inlows over the winter-spring period when we traditionally receive most of our annual inlow before our peak demand period.” Mr Healy urged locals not to become complacent about water usage, despite the higher catchment storage levels. “Permanent water saving rules are in place

across our region and everything we do to conserve water – even in the cooler months – helps overall water security,” he said. “Using water eiciently is everyone’s responsibility to help secure our water supplies and maintain greener and more liveable communities now and into the future.” Coliban Water services Macedon Ranges residents in Tylden, Kyneton and Malmsbury.

Lighting up the dark By Ewen McRae When Bridie and Christopher Murphy noticed their son was unwell in May last year, they could not have imagined what the next 12 months would bring. Five-year-old Hunter is battling acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, meaning regular trips to the Royal Children’s Hospital and weeks of intensive treatment at a time. It’s more than any young child should have to endure. “It took about a month for us to get a diagnosis, because it presented as basically an infection at irst,” Ms Murphy said. “He wasn’t eating or drinking and wasn’t getting better, and eventually a GP sent him to get some blood tests. We got a call about 10 at night from the pathologist telling us to take him straight into the hospital … he was in intensive care for about ive days. “He had a blood transfusion and was on to chemo pretty quickly, and from there it’s been a long road. “It’s devastating. It’s hard to put into words, and it’s heartbreaking to see your child go through something like that. “He’s doing better now, back at school for the irst time in nearly a year, but sometimes a quick trip to the hospital would mean a two week stay.” While Hunter was receiving treatment in the hospital, a visit from the Starlight Children’s Foundation gave the family a chance to brighten his day. Hunter’s one wish was for a new puppy for the

Celebrating women in council It’s been 100 years since Mary Rogers was elected to Richmond City Council, cementing her place in history as Victoria’s irst female councillor. Today, of the state’s 79 local councils, 35 have more than 40 per cent female councillors and there are 36 female mayors. Star Weekly talks to some of the women shaping the communities in the north and west. Cr Carly Moore

Cr Kim McAliney

Carly Moore hopes she is teaching girls across Hume that anything is possible. he irst-term councillor is Hume’s current mayor and the irst Hume councillor to be voted into the top job two years in a row. It’s an achievement Cr Moore is understandably very proud of. “It is a big achievement … I think it is a good endorsement from my fellow councillors that I am doing a good job,” she said. Cr Moore was irst elected to Hume council in October 2016. She ran for council on the advice of her sister, Casey Nunn, a former Hume mayor. “My sister … served for four years before me. She encouraged me to run and took me to a candidate information session,” Cr Moore said. “It was at that information session that I became serious about running for council. I can clearly remember looking around the room … really thinking about whether these other candidates could better represent me and my family.” Cr Moore said the 2016 council elections also came at a time when she was ready for a career change. Having worked as an accountant in inancial services in the city for a number of years before becoming self-employed, Cr Moore said she had reached a point where she was looking for something new. hese days, she continues to work part-time while juggling the role of mayor and mum to four school-aged children, who for the most part love that their mum is mayor. “It’s been an amazing experience,” Cr Moore said, “I genuinely love it.” While Cr Moore said she has many “fond memories” from the past four years, her favourite experiences on council have involved

Kim McAliney says she is passionate about giving everyone, regardless of their gender or socio-economic background, equal access to decision-making opportunities in their community. Cr McAliney, who resigned last week, had served on Wyndham council for a total of 11 years, including twice as mayor and once as deputy mayor. “When I was irst elected, I was thrilled, and honoured to be given the opportunity to not only make a diference – but be the diference – to be a leader, an inspiration to women – to show what was possible with determination, persistence, tenacity and the willingness to pursue your dreams even with a young family,” she said. Cr McAliney was recently nominated by members of the Ministries of the Women’s Round Table, which is chaired by the Minister for Local Government, to sit on the Gender Parity in Local Government committee. “As a councillor there are challenges,” she said. “It’s a political environment, however you need to remember why you are there – to serve the people. “It’s an opportunity to develop and learn new skills and you can make a real diference.” Cr McAliney said she was proud to see Wyndham council endorse its Towards Equality Policy Statement and Action Plan earlier this year. “We have come a long way, no doubt, but there is still a way to go,” she said. “It is disappointing that in 160 years, only six female mayors have been elected in Wyndham. “I hope to see an increase in the number of women, and candidates from diverse backgrounds stand for election and be represented.” Cr McAliney said that aside from her council duties, she had spent 20 years as a cadet with the St Johns Ambulance Brigade. his aligns well with her role as Wyndham council’s safer communities portfolio holder. “Over the years, I have built close working partnerships with emergency services personnel from our local police force, SES, Coast Guard, Ambulance Vic and to the CFA,” she said. “I have immense respect and gratitude for our front-line responders, who all do a fantastic job in diicult circumstances – oten responding, assisting and helping the most vulnerable in our society.”

Macedon Ranges council Macedon Ranges mayor Janet Pearce may have only been in council for four years, but she says the experience has been a “huge learning curve”. Cr Pearce was elected to council in 2016 and has spent her time listening to local residents’ stories and attending community events across the region. But her involvement within the community

goes back far further than that. Spending time in the community that she calls home was one of the reasons she decided to pursue a career in local council. “I have always been very active in volunteering and have met such a diverse range of people over the years,” she said. “I realised that passionate, supported and resilient communities can achieve amazing things and are such an asset. “My children have grown up, attended school here and have been involved in many

groups. My husband and I are involved in a small business in the shire. “I felt I could relate to many aspects of living in the shire and the community and I could contribute in many ways.” To better understand the Macedon Ranges and it’s locals as a councillor, Cr Pearce spent her irst two years in council attending as many local events and visiting community groups. She put her hand up as a mayoral candidate during the 2018 election and was voted in by her fellow councillors. She was re-elected as mayor in October last year. While the role of the mayor is all about “greater responsibilities” and becoming “more deeply involved” according to Cr Pearce, she says the role is not without its challenges. “I had always promised I would commit 100 per cent to the role,” she said. “At times it is challenging to reach and engage with everyone and people have diferent opinions, but in the end you make the decision you believe is best for the whole community and the shire. “You really are learning every day.” Females represent more than half of the Macedon Ranges councillors, including deputy mayor Mandi Mees. Cr Pearce is hoping the female representation among her council inspires other women to take up positions in local government. “It is important to have equality and diversity in representation of the community,” she said. “We need more women to get involved, to take that step forward and to believe in themselves that they can make a diference. “Being a councillor is one of the most fulilling opportunities available to residents.”

Cr Sarah Carter

(Damjan Janevski) 208673_08

Maribyrnong council Making a diference at a grassroots level and being a role-model for other women have sustained Maribyrnong mayor Sarah Carter’s love of serving in local government for more than a decade. Before becoming a councillor she worked as a communications oicer at Hume council. Seeing the excitement of local young people at the opening of the Hume Global Learning Centre in Broadmeadows, Cr Carter understood the direct diference local government can make in the lives of residents. “I remember the naysayers saying the kids aren’t going to turn up, it’s Broadmeadows, but when the learning centre opened there was a queue out the door,” she said. “It was something that really struck me about the capacity to engage at this level.” Cr Carter soon moved to the west and decided to dip her toe into local politics, feeling

like “a ish out of water” at irst. She has now spent three terms and 12 years on council,and is the city’s current mayor, the second time she has held the role. Come the November elections at the end of this year, she plans to throw her hat back into the ring and seek a fourth term as a councillor. “I think it is the people that keeps me coming back,” she said. “We really have a special community here in the west, there are so many wonderful people and it just remains a real privilege to be able to serve them.” he rapid growth of Footscray in particular, but Maribyrnong generally, brings with it challenges and opportunities, according to Cr Carter. “One of the things I want to see get of the ground is the ‘NeXT project’, the Footscray library redevelopment that is a personal passion project of mine because I would love to see a performing arts centre here,” she said.

“I think it’s ambitious, but I think now is the time to be really ambitious while we have caught the attention of state and federal governments.” Cr Carter said she is mindful of her role as a woman in a leadership position and she hopes this inluences more women from a range of backgrounds to consider representing their community via local government. “his term, ive out of the seven councillors are women which is great, but I think more work has to be done to get into the CALD communities to identify emerging leaders,” she said. “I want to promote the opportunities they can take and contributions they can make.” Cr Carter said not only does better representation improve the situation for women, but makes for a better society. “he more diversity we have around a table the better the outcomes … everyone wins.”

Cr Lara Carli

Cr Georgina Papafotiou

Melton mayor Lara Carli has always wanted to serve the community. For much of the past two decades, Cr Carli has been involved in local government, irst as a young councillor in Whittlesea, and now coming to the end of her second term in Melton. It is a passion that stems back to her youth. “I grew up in a family where, at the dinner table, we would discuss community and world events,” Cr Carli said. “I became well aware of social justice at a very early age, so getting into politics seemed a natural choice for me. “I wanted to serve and give to others in a way that was not only meaningful but also have a long-lasting legacy for the community.” Ater attending her irst council meeting at a young age, Cr Carli made her irst steps into local government in 2003 when she was elected to Whittlesea council at just 24, juggling the demands of an 8-month-old child with her council responsibilities. Just a year later she was elected as mayor, making her the irst female to hold that position in the 130-year history of the council. When her family relocated to Melton, it was not long before she returned to local government, elected to Melton council in 2012 and 2016. “I love what I do, and it’s so rewarding to be part of the decision-making process that has the potential to positively impact the lives of thousands of people, not only now but for

he majority of Brimbank councillors are women, including the leadership positions of mayor and deputy mayor. Mayor Georgina Papafotiou said her family was a major reason behind her decision to enter local politics. “Brimbank is my home, and I have lived here for over 40 years. I was motivated to run for council by my drive to make a diference in my community and to celebrate its successes,” she said. “I would also attribute this interest to my family background where my parents represented the Greek community and were actively involved in many community activities. his ignited a passion in me to serve the community in various forms throughout my career in education, and through volunteering on a lot of local committees.” She said the number of women on the council was a credit to the municipality. “Brimbank is one of only four municipalities in Victoria (alongside Darebin City Council, Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Yarra City Council) to have a majority of female councillors as well as a female mayor, deputy mayor and CEO,” she said. “In Brimbank, seven of our 11 elected councillors – or just over 60 per cent – are female. I was extremely pleased to see so many women voted into our council.” She said a large array of women can only be beneicial. “Women have a wealth of unique knowledge, experience, expertise and perspectives that they can bring to roles in council – either as councillors or in senior leadership positions. “Female participation in local government is improving, but still far too slow, in my opinion. I believe promoting more gender equality will help encourage more women to stand for oice.” Deputy mayor Cr Kim hien Truong echoed her sentiments, but said the wheel is slowly turning. “here have certainly been some challenges along the way,” Cr Truong said. “Gender equality is important for the whole community, and it is not only a women’s issue – we know that communities thrive in a society where men and women are treated equally.”

generations to come,” Cr Carli said. “here will always be those in the community that support diferent views from myself or council, but I’m always very proud when our council is united and strives to achieve the very best for our residents. “One of my proudest moments was being part of the community campaign for a Melton Hospital, and what we achieved out of that working together with the state government has been fantastic to see.”

Cr Colleen Gates

Hobsons Bay council A desire to improve the relationship between council and community led to Hobsons Bay mayor Colleen Gates entering local government 18 years ago. She has been a councillor since 2012, served as mayor twice in 2014-15 and 2019-20, and as deputy mayor in 2013-14 and in 2016-17. Cr Gates has a strong interest in the environment and enhancing public open space. She is a qualiied environmental professional

with vast experience in contaminated land clean-up, pollution prevention, environmental compliance and waste management. Cr Gates’ greatest achievement in local government was seeing the former Laverton Primary School site on Epsom Street transformed into a modern, inclusive community park, which involved extensive community consultation. “Ater years of advocating to the state government to give the Epsom Street school site back to the community, council was able to purchase the site in 2014 and last year the

With 2020 marking 100 years of women being elected into local government, Cr Carli said it would be great to see more women involved at council. “I’m always looking for an opportunity to encourage more women to be involved with council, and particularly the youth in our community,” she said. “It’s deinitely easier now for women to enter local government than when I was irst elected, and I believe the inequality in local government is largely gone.”

community celebrated the opening of the new park, formally named Curlew Community Park,” she said. “I was incredibly proud to see one hectare of unused space become a vibrant community hive of activity, and touched that the park would feature tributes to four local residents to honour their contribution to the Laverton community.” Cr Gates is hopeful that in the future additional land on the site will be dedicated to independent living for older residents or people with disabilities. She is also proud of infrastructure improvements delivered through advocacy, including the Laverton Community Hub and the rail crossing removal project. In her second term as mayor, Cr Gates has focused on community connectedness, open space and innovation. She says, her favourite job being mayor is the privilege of conducting citizenship ceremonies and getting to meet new people. Cr Gates supported a number of women with their election campaigns in 2016 and would encourage more women to get involved with local government. “Many women are concerned about being able to juggle multiple responsibilities around family and work commitments but it’s absolutely possible to multi-task … and still be a successful and efective community advocate,” she said.

Supercharge your winter snacks Dietitian Sharon Natoli shares her tips to keep snacking on track this winter using Australian Eggs. With winter upon us, it’s important we are fueling our bodies with the right nutrients to help us focus, keep our immune system healthy and our energy levels high. Many people are also still working from home, and while it’s become a familiar routine for most, easy access to a full fridge when the weather gets colder can sometimes mean snacking more frequently, and on food we wouldn’t choose when in our normal work routine. Australian Eggs has teamed up with Dietitian and Author Sharon Natoli, to share her tips on how to help manage your food intake and snacking through winter, including the snacks that can help supercharge your immune system. Eat regularly: When it comes to eating, it helps to stay in a regular routine. Plan to eat healthy snacks and meals around every 3-4 hours. Eating regularly helps manage hunger which in turn helps manage not only how much you eat, but the type of foods you choose. he hungrier you are, the more likely it is that you will eat more, eat quickly, and be less intentional about your choices. Choose foods to boost your immunity: In the current environment and with winter approaching, choose foods that are high in immunity boosting nutrients, like protein, iron, selenium, vitamin A and vitamin D. Boiled eggs are great to keep in the fridge as a handy, natural ‘protein ball’ and contain good amounts of these key nutrients so are a great inclusion as a healthy snack. Vitamin C is also key to a strong immune system so choose fruit and vegetables to snack on, like vitamin C-rich red capsicum, kiwi fruit, citrus like oranges, grapefruit and mandarins, guava and strawberries. Choose energy boosting snacks: A good way to get energy from your snacks is to combine foods that contain both carbohydrates, for the energy our brain needs to think, and protein or ibre, to have the energy last for longer. Foods that provide B vitamins, iron and magnesium are also great choices. Try chopped egg on wholegrain crackers, nuts and fruit together, or a savoury muin (for more ideas see the accompanying egg recipes). Plan ahead: Just as you might plan your meals, it’s also useful to plan your snacks. Write out a list of ideas that include both savoury and sweet options. Shop for these, or the ingredients you need to make them, and that way you will have choices readily available when you need them to satisfy your palate. Cultivate a curious palate: By sticking to the usual suspects that we eat day in and day out, we can get bored and disinterested. To build joy into food and eating, each week aim to try something new to snack on. his also helps expand your palate, opening a whole new world of food experiences. If you have children who are fussy eaters, it’s a great way to model behaviours that also encourage them to be curious about food and explore new lavours. Make it nourishing: A good question to ask yourself before you eat is ‘is this choice nourishing me?’. Make a decision to only eat foods that nourish you – whether that’s nourishing your body, mind or your soul. Create your own deinition of what this means for you. Share your intentions: Accountability empowers action so share your snacking intentions with others in your household. Take snack breaks together and use the experience to create connection and conversation. Indulgence in smaller portions: Research shows there is a point of fatigue when it comes to the enjoyment of rich foods, for example, chocolate or cakes and biscuits. If we eat too much of these types of foods for example, there is a point where our experience turns from pleasurable to sickly and we stop enjoying them. To help prevent this, serve small portions of these types of foods. Once you have inished eating, tune in to how your body is feeling and ask yourself if you feel satisied. If so, move on with the rest of your day.
