Building kidzspace: Bert McIvor and team to give our project 'the great Australian paint'
Friday 9 December 2016
Written by Rod
Work on our new $2.6 million kidzspace centre at Kangaroo Flat is underway. In this new blog we meet the Bendigo builders and sub-contractors using their expertise to make our dream a reality.
PAINTER Bert McIvor has been active in the Bendigo community for decades.
A former footballer for Eaglehawk and the Bendigo interleague squad, Bert was on the BFNL board, still serves on the Hall of Fame selection panel and is one of the Hawks' club sponsors.
He has also helped raise money for the Breast Cancer Network by waiting on guests at annual Girls Night In events, hosted at home by wife Jacinta and a large group of her friends, for nine years.
This community-minded spirit is well reflected in his business, Bert McIvor Painting, which has been sub-contracted for work on several important building projects in Central Victoria.
The latest is kidzspace Bendigo – a $2.6 million children's health and wellbeing centre being constructed in Helm Street Kangaroo Flat.
The facility is part of a new approach to Bendigo Community Health Services children's and family programs, creating a specialist hub that aims to improve the long-term outcomes of youngsters throughout the region by providing early intervention, education and clinical services.
"It is certainly satisfying, being involved in the local Bendigo community and projects like this," says Bert.
"We also did some work on the headspace (youth mental health service) building in Mundy Street, which is along similar community lines, and are doing Marist College at the moment."
Bert and his team of up to eight painters and apprentices will apply about 300 litres of Australian-made Haymes Paint to the interior and exterior of the kidzspace building.
The business has operated in Bendigo for 20 years, with Bert proud to say all his staff started off as apprentices. Some are still with him after 12 years.
"We like to bring our apprentices through," he says. "We don't advertise – we get our work through recommendation, which is a good way to be."
Building kidzspace: Tucks Windows provides doorway to our exciting project
Work on our new $2.6 million kidzspace centre at Kangaroo Flat is underway. In this new blog we meet the Bendigo builders and sub-contractors turning our dream into reality.
THE job of installing windows and doors in Bendigo Community Health Services' new multi-million-dollar kidzspace facility could be considered one of special significance.
After all, the revolutionary children's and family services centre will offer many windows of opportunity to youngsters across the region when it opens its doors later this year.
Tucks Windows has been given the task of fabricating and fitting the multitude of custom-made aluminium shop-front windows and doors to the building in Helm St, Kangaroo Flat.
Managing director Mark Daley says it is definitely a good feeling to know the firm is working on a project that aims to create a better future for families in Bendigo and beyond.
Kidzspace will be a one-stop-shop for a wide range of BCHS programs aimed at children and families, as well as some community activities.
Its goal is to make services readily available for those who need them most, in light of studies showing a child's health, wellbeing and development can be shaped in early childhood.
Tucks must wait for the full framework of the building to be erected before they can move in to measure up for what Mark says is a "substantial" project.
There is a turnaround of about three weeks for the windows and doors to be manufactured at the firm's factory in Sandhurst Rd, then transported on site, installed and glazed.
Tucks is one of more than a dozen Bendigo sub-contractors contributing to the project, which is due to be completed in October.
The company has operated locally for 42 years and employs 16 people across manufacturing, installation and sales.
They are currently involved in a major refurbishment at Girton Grammar, and have worked on the Kangaroo Flat Sports Centre, Yamaha in Bridge St, St Luke's Bendigo and the Old Post Office Gallery.
Bendigo soup kitchen feeds a need
The Bendigo Community Health Services Thursday Soup Kitchen is feeding a need in Bendigo.
Free meals are available from the kitchen between 4pm and 4.45pm each Thursday in the Fork In The Road community hub at 165-171 Hargreaves Street.
Any community donations to the Thursday Soup Kitchen are used to cover plates, takeaway containers, knives, forks, napkins and food.
Strath Village IGA donates chickens, JL King and Co gourmet salads and Tuyen Nguyen from Strath Hill Hot Bake bread.
The Department of Justice supports the Soup Kitchen in making up meals.
''We really encourage people to come in, sit down and have a bite to eat, whether it's a single meal or for a family of seven,'' Bendigo Community Health Services CEO Kim Sykes said.
''Some people might prefer to come and get some free soup and bread to take home and eat or share with others - that's fine, too.
''We have been able to support many people across the community, serving anywhere between two and 30 meals each week.''
Strath Village IGA manager Tim Mannix said the store was quick to jump on board when approached to support the Soup Kitchen.
"Soup kitchen is a great idea to help out those in need," Mr Mannix said.
"When I visited the Soup Kitchen and saw the appreciation from people who are doing it a bit tough at the moment, it was a good feeling knowing we could do something to help out."
The Soup Kitchen also appreciated support from IGA Strath Village, JL King and Co, Strath Hill Hot Bake and the Department of Justice.
Please call 5448 1600 if you have a question, need more information or would like to support the free Thursday Soup Kitchen.
Bendigo Day Care educator retires after 28 years of service
We are saddened to hear of the passing of Fran Ring - a long-serving family day care educator who has been associated with BCHS for more than 28 years. A wonderfully caring person who has impacted on the lives of so many through the years. Our thoughts are with Fran's family and friends. We put together this wonderful story on Fran for our Quality of Care Report in 2015 and we republish today as a lasting tribute:
Toys still dominate Fran Ring's Bendigo home.
They sit stacked by the walls of rooms and around the spacious backyard.
But the smiling faces that once tirelessly played with them have gone. Life is a little quieter these days.
Fran honoured a promise to herself to stop working on her 70th birthday by ending her 28-year career as a Bendigo Family Day Care educator with Bendigo Community Health Services in August.
Having found the time to care for her own family and more than 150 children for other families through her career, retirement was a tough call for Fran.
Truth be told, you get the feeling she's still not convinced but a promise is a promise.
"Even now I've retired I think … did I do the right thing?'' she confesses.
Fran's love of children led her to the BCHS Bendigo Family Day Care service.
"At the time my daughter was looking for work, so we did day care together,'' she said.
"It became a good job for myself, who wanted to be a stay at home mum."
The years since have delivered enormous satisfaction, special friendships and the pure joy of being with children and the entertainment of the little quirky things they say.
"You are taking into your care a parent's most precious possession, so that really is a big responsibility,'' Fran says.
She then offers the story of a little Sri Lankan boy that came into her care to illustrate the enormous reward such responsibility delivers.
"These parents had only just come to Bendigo and the little boy had no English. I had to teach him English. So I sat on the couch, I read books to him, pointed out things… that was a big responsibility that one,'' she says.
The Sri Lankan family also illustrates the strong emotional ties that come with day care.
"The little boy cried probably for three months when his mother left him and I think the mother probably did the same. But she was a student at the uni so she needed to leave her child somewhere – that was a big responsibility. Those parents didn't know people in Bendigo and that little boy was put with someone who he didn't know about – it would have been scary for him.
"But we are still friends now – the parents. Those two children in that family came to visit on my 70th birthday.''
Fran says farewells are the toughest part of family day care.
"Over the years when children have left – you'd sit and cry when they go. Even now I can get all misty eyed,'' she said.
"I can remember we had a little baby from six weeks old to three – we stood on the nature strip and cried when she left. Because the mum would bring her breast milk frozen and we would feed that child that way so the mother could do her job.
"It's a big thing for parents to leave their children with a stranger but they soon grow to trust I suppose and feel comfortable with it."
Fran can't think of a better job for anyone who enjoys the company of children and teaching them.
"You get the reward of seeing how they grow and improve and learn… blossom,'' she says.
Fran has welcomed the 'backing' of Bendigo Community Health Services staff through the years and kept herself educated to ensure she could do the job safely.
"We need to have Certificate III in Children's Services, we attend in-services to update our first aid, asthma, anaphylaxis. We are police checked, we have a working with children check. The home is annually safety checked by BCHS staff, so if we've got all those things in place then we should be OK,'' she said.
"Of course, the job is to watch the children all the time. You don't go off and do what you want to do all the day… the children are your responsibility, so you are there with them all the time. You go outside with them, you don't just let them run willy-nilly. We have our fire screens around our heaters, we have a mandatory check list each day. So all of that – you have to put in the work to get the satisfaction at the end of it."
Fran doesn't hesitate when asked what she found most common in children under her care.
"They like to be the boss,'' she laughs.
"I say: 'Who's the boss?' and they say, 'Fran's the boss' to me.
"I like to treat them with kindness and treat them as if they were my own but at the same time they need to know their boundaries and I found that worked and they seemed to respect it.
"I stick with what my boundaries are – I don't give in on it – because that's not teaching them and the guidance isn't good for them if you don't stay with what you do."
Fran admits she often thinks about what has become of many of the children that have passed through her care.
"Some of them, I would love to know what they're doing now because they were probably little monkeys in their day and I think I just wonder what you've done and where you're at in life," she says.
Fran speaks fondly of the friendships she has forged with parents, other educators and BCHS staff and cherishes the visits, cards, letters and gifts she has received.
"I had a parent who wrote me a nice card on my 70th birthday. She just happened to look in her diary and see it was my birthday and she worked out that it must have been my 70th. It had been 16 years since I'd heard from her. She rang me and then followed it with a card and photos of her daughter, how she was and what she was doing now. That was such a nice thing to happen."
Flicking through a pile of letters from parents and children, the affection for Fran is instantly obvious.
A letter from one grateful parent read: "The day to day love and patience, the endless hours of providing treats, playgroup, hot chips, homemade tracksuits made with love by Fran can never be forgotten.
"Your wisdom, tireless, selfless dedication not only to our precious children but to the countless children in your care.
"Words just don't seem enough for a thank you but know in all of our lives in the times ahead there's a little bit of Fran in each of us."
Another card talked about how Fran had 'become a family member' through the years.
"I can still remember how we started with you – crying, worries – but day by day you overcome all of these dispatches. Soon I realised that this the best place our son can be ever. You cared for him in a loving way and he learned a lot from you – the way he behaved, the way he talked – we can see your influence in all of these. He has become a very polite little boy and I think you deserve to have all the credits Fran,'' it read.
"Fran you have proved that you are a real loving mother – not only for your own children but also for many children. You not only cared for our son but also you cared for us. You gave us support, you listened to us, you encouraged us. Because of you I had peace in my mind to do my studies.
"You have done so much for us. We shared our lives with you. We started our day with you. It is sad to finish our son's care with you but we will remember you forever. We will meet you again. You, your house and your family are precious memories of our lives.
"Thank you Fran for everything you have done for us."
Educators such as Fran are irreplaceable for Bendigo Community Health Services but with a waiting list of families, the search goes on.

Discovering BCHS: Community health nurses work for healing and justice
Bendigo Community Health Services is home to more than 50 services and 250 staff. Take a journey through our organisation to learn more about our services and programs by meeting some of our wonderful staff through our blog Discovering BCHS…
TWO community health nurses have joined the multi-agency team helping central Victorian victims of sexual assault on their journey towards healing and justice.
Bendigo Community Health Services nurses Julie Sleeman and Liz Morley are based at the Multidisciplinary Centre in Bridge Street, offering free and confidential support, advice and education to clients and non-offending family members who have experienced sexual assault.
The pair work alongside staff from the Loddon Campaspe Centre Against Sexual Assault, Victoria Police Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team, and Department of Human Services Child Protection Investigation Unit.
Six Multidisciplinary Centres operate across Victoria and, as part of a recent initiative, all now have community health nurses practising within them.
BCHS employed Julie and Liz in February and they have been working closely with clients of the local centre's partner agencies since. By the end of May they'd received 10 referrals – a much higher rate than the state-wide average for Victoria's MDCs.
"Ours is an evolving role," explains Julie. "We offer health assessments, provide health information and advice, and link clients into mainstream health services.
"It could be as simple as helping the client find a GP who can meet their needs, or identifying what their health needs actually are. But we have to start by creating rapport and trust – you can't do anything until you have established that."
Liz says sexual assault victims require sensitive and respectful care.
"People who have suffered sexual assault are known to have poorer health outcomes than the rest of the community," she says. "These people have been let down, especially those whose abuse occurred a long time ago.
"So our wide-ranging role has been put in place to support them to improve their general health and wellbeing, in whatever capacity we can."
The community health nurses help clients reach their health and wellbeing goals and can refer them on to other local health and community services for further support.
They can accompany clients to external appointments when asked, to help put them at ease, act as an advocate, or simply to offer support.
Julie and Liz also provide education to community organisations and health providers about the specific needs of sexual assault victims, given the trauma they have experienced.
"My experience is that it can be two steps forward, one step backward," says Julie.
"It is about the clients leading the way, and they always have the choice to withdraw. If they do, they can re-engage with the nurses later if they wish. We are dealing with people who are not always predictable, because their trauma can make them think, feel and react differently.
"They can have very low self-esteem and sense of self-worth; we need to tread slowly and be patient."
Both Julie and Liz bring vast experience to their new roles.
Bendigo-born Julie has been nursing for 40 years, including in the fields of drug and alcohol rehabilitation, schools, maternity and special baby care, and community care.
Most recently, she was a local community nurse with MS Australia for eight years.
Liz has 36 years' experience. She most recently worked at Bendigo Health in acute health, telehealth in the Loddon Mallee region, nursing project management and education.
She has also worked at Castlemaine, Inglewood, Rochester and Dunolly hospitals.
The women are proud to be part of a broad-based approach to supporting sexual assault victims, and say being under the same roof as the other agencies makes their job easier.
"We are fortunate to have come into a culturally accepting workplace and been able to convey our purpose to the other staff here," says Julie. "Being co-located at the MDC has helped them get to know us, so they trust us with their clients."
Referrals for appointments to see a community health nurse at Bendigo's MDC can be taken from the agencies within the centre, or MDC clients can self-refer.
The nurses are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 3.30pm, but are flexible to accommodate the needs of clients.

Discovering BCHS: Meet our very own Spyder-man
HE'S a former publican, a Ulysses motorbike club member and a meditation devotee – meet Bendigo Community Health Services forensic alcohol and drug counsellor Lee Johnston.
When he's not cruising around town on his distinctive red three-wheeled Can-Am Spyder, Lee is helping clients who've had run-ins with the law to regain their self-esteem and lose their dependence on harmful substances.
"I think I learnt most of my counselling skills from behind the bar," says the man whose mid-life career change took him from serving alcohol to dealing with its destructive aftermath.
"I worked and managed pubs for years and you meet so many people from all walks of life."
About 10 years ago, Lee became disillusioned with poker machines taking over from the traditional social scene at hotels and decided to put his long-held people skills to good use.
He completed a Certificate IV in alcohol and other drugs and was a case manager and outreach worker at a Salvation Army homeless shelter in Melbourne before joining BCHS five years ago.
The word "forensic" in his job title relates to the law and his referrals come court-ordered, via Australian Community Support Organisation and Bendigo Corrections.
"All my clients have some sort of drug and alcohol problem related to their offending," he says. "I believe trauma underlies most of the problems - many have come from dysfunctional families and don't have good coping skills. So they cope with alcohol and drugs."
Lee says while the problems have always been there, his workload has grown since Victoria abolished suspended sentences in 2014, possibly due to more corrections orders being made.
Ice, heroin and cannabis are prevalent in Bendigo, he says, "but alcohol is by far the worst drug because of the problems it causes, its ease of availability and its constant promotion".
The clients Lee counsels can be dealing with anger, violence, guilt and frustration, trying to reconcile their own lack of self-worth with society's judgemental attitude.
"In my experience, humans are no different to animals – if they are mistreated, you have to build up their trust again. So I try to build that rapport with them.
"I am a big one for injustice and that's what keeps me in the job. As a society, we are so judgemental of others. People don't choose to be a drug addict, they are not born that way, and they don't wake up one morning and choose it as a profession. It's an addiction, but more importantly it is a health problem and it should be addressed as one.
"A five year old girl who is abused or brought up by an alcoholic father doesn't choose to follow that lifestyle. But people who don't ever experience these things don't understand."
He cites one client who wanted to hit him during a counselling session as an example of a response to a traumatic event. Before the situation could escalate, Lee identified the underlying issue and talked the man down.
"It turned out he was grieving a death, and he was just reacting to that so I understand where he was coming from. It doesn't make his behaviour okay, but it does explain it."
Lee's approach involves cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness, focusing on the client's behaviour and how to improve it, rather than attacking the person individually.
The most important part of his job is being a good listener.
"I had one client who had been around for a while and the feedback from her was that I really listened," Lee says. "I listen without an agenda, with a focus on helping them manage their drug or alcohol problem.
"The change in them can be amazing – it is a process but that lady I just spoke about has been alcohol-free for three months and that makes my job worthwhile.
"One of my main beliefs is we that are all human and we all have feelings and emotions - men don't have to be tough, that's a complete fallacy.
"Hopefully clients feel they can relate to me. I don't know what they're feeling, but I can understand some of the things they've been through and try to validate their experiences.
"Then we can work towards finding their strengths, because they already know their own weaknesses. Just one little strength is enough to work on. I tell some of them to go kiss themselves in the mirror and say, 'I love me'.
"It's like throwing holy water over some of them, who've got no sense of self at all. It challenges their beliefs about themselves in a positive way."
Lee says though he is not a religious man, he is spiritual.
He enjoys Reiki and the healing energy of meditation, but doesn't force that onto clients.
"I do talk to them about breathing, though. We all need to learn to relax a little bit.
"Some people are so traumatised they are fight-or-flight - even when they're asleep they have one eye open. And it simply tires them out."
Away from work, Lee and his partner enjoy getting away and chilling out on his motorbike.
Or should that be motor-trike?
"I did have a two-wheeler but my partner wouldn't ride on the back of it," he laughs.
"We went to look at a three-wheeler, she sat on it I had to buy it because I couldn't get her off. That's my story, anyhow!"
The pair plan to attend a gathering of Spyder enthusiasts in Port Fairy in October and another muster Hahndorf, South Australia, next year.
His interest in bikes might give Lee some credibility with some of his clients, but he reckons he's a big softie at heart.
"I'm a member of the Ulysses motorbike club, which is a social group for riders over 40. It's not an outlaw gang, just a lot of older people riding around on their bikes, which is great.
"Well we are not really old, more like in our prime."
Discovering BCHS: Louise puts controversial topics on the table
LOUISE Holland reaches into a storeroom box and pulls out a colourful array of plush toys.
"Meet Chlamydia!" she grins, holding up a green fluffball that, on closer inspection, isn't quite so cute after all. "And this," she says, waving a rather gloomy-looking yellow creature, "is Herpes. You have to make sexual health education fun, or people will just switch off."
As a community health nurse and clinical consultant in women's, sexual and reproductive health, Louise is well versed in the challenges of addressing topics traditionally swept under the carpet.
But she is involved in several key initiatives through Bendigo Community Health Services and external organisations to improve access to important information and programs.
"BCHS provides a diverse range of services in this area, from education down to one-on-one clinical consultations, including sexual health assessments, STI testing and treatment, blood-borne-virus counselling and contraception.
"We have a text buddy reminder service that sends SMS to young people for check-ups or results, free emergency contraception, women-centred early unplanned pregnancy counselling and referrals for terminations."
All BCHS sites also stock free condoms in a basket at the front desk for anyone to use.
"I have four boys (now aged 18 to 26) and they probably feel scarred because they were exposed to them from a very young age," Louise laughs.
"When they were in primary school they had to help pack the condoms in the little packs. It was an amazing initiative that forms part of our overall organisation public health response.
"We have deliberately put our hand up and said that sexual health is important to us as an organisation, which makes my job much easier. This is as important as our Thursday night soup kitchen, or our winter coat drive. It's not a one-off thing - it is ingrained in our culture."
Louise's interest in her field was ignited during her early career as a midwife in Perth, partly by the experience of several young male relatives who unexpectedly became teenage dads.
"It was young women's total lack of information and choice at the time that sparked my interest," she says. "I was the midwife seen as the one who could look after teenagers having babies because I could work so well with them and it just all stemmed from that.
"It also comes from an absolute desire for women to be empowered to make informed choices about their lives, rather than sex being seen as something that just happens to them."
She is liaising with staff and clients from various agencies on an integrated health promotion project, which includes workplace women's health talks and school education sessions.
These engagement strategies aim to "highlight the services available, increase knowledge, decrease misinformation and dispel myths around sexual health".
Louise chairs an internal BCHS network to encourage staff to be aware of sexual health regardless of what they are seeing a client for, and refer them on if needed.
She is also a lead worker on a joint project with the Victorian AIDS Council related to sexually transmitted infections and blood-borne viruses, trying to smooth the referral pathway to make it easier and less confronting, especially if clients wish to remain anonymous.
This includes working with agencies where sexual health is not core business, but who have an interest from working with the initiative's target groups: young people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, gay men, and those of culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Louise says the main barrier to people using the sexual health services they need is accessibility, and that's why her work in the wider community is vital.
"You can have a building, a door and someone sitting at reception, but if you are not visibly seen to be accessible, people in the priority groups just won't turn up," she says.
"If you are met with a difficult process to see someone, like you are put on hold on the phone too long or no one is available that day, you won't do it again.
"If you get through initially but feel your needs are not met, like someone follows a script instead of looking at you as a whole person, you may go once but you'll never go back.
"If the language is not sensitive to the natural language of the client (using complex medical terminology with a young person, or not engaging an interpreter for a non-English speaker), you will be seen as a non-sensitive practice and negative word of mouth will spread.
"If you charge an exorbitant amount and the client has no money, they are not going to turn up. And if you don't explain privacy and confidentiality or you don't act on it, for example you send them a letter home in the mail, they will not come back."
Louise says she has always been interested in the big picture, even when she was a midwife.
"Some nurses see their ultimate role as getting their patients discharged from hospital.
"But I was always interested in what happened to patients after they left hospital after having a baby – was the mum going to go and get contraception, did she have a good doctor, would she be comfortable talking to them? And I asked those extra questions."
This stands her in good stead today, as she campaigns to make sexual health a priority for all.
Away from the office, Louise is equally passionate about sport. She plays tennis for St Liborius, is secretary of the Eaglehawk and District Tennis Association, and is one of the netball coaches for Bears Lagoon Serpentine in the Loddon Valley league.
"Ultimately, I would like to work in some remote areas of Australia where the access to health care services isn't easy and feel like I am making a difference there.
"That sense of social justice flows strongly through my veins and it is probably why I sit really well within community health. Battling to get funding for people who don't have a voice is at the very foundation of what I do."
Discovering BCHS: Conchita's grand adventure of life leads to Bendigo
SHE was born in the US to Mexican migrant parents, converted to Islam while doing volunteer work with disabled children in Pakistan, then married an Australian citizen she met in Miami and moved Down Under.
Now Conchita Ollivier is living in Bendigo and helping Karen and Afghan refugee families who resettle here find their feet when they first arrive in their new home town.
Conchita's own multicultural background and experience moving to the flip side of the world make her ideal for her role with Bendigo Community Health Services' settlement team.
"Our goal is to help them integrate and become independent," she says. "We focus on English, education and employment and build their capacity to reach their potential.
"I want my clients to always feel they have been treated with respect and had a fighting chance here: that we've given them a fair go and helped them understand Australian values; that they are completely included so that they truly feel part of us."
There is, however, much more to this quietly-spoken case worker than first meets the eye.
Conchita studied psychology, biology and social work at university, at the same time working with autistic children using "applied behaviour analysis" therapy to develop their life skills.
She took three months off one summer to go to Pakistan where she used that knowledge to assist families with children suffering serious, often undiagnosed disabilities.
"One family had a seven-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and all she could do was lie there on her back," Conchita recalls.
"For three months, we applied all the exercises I knew and were trying to figure out how to get her more mobile. By the end of the trip, I was able to organise someone to make her a walker, like what a baby would use but bigger, and she was able to greet her dad at the door.
"It was amazing - she had no mobility before and in three short months that was possible. I always wondered what more she could do if she had access to the right treatment."
Conchita describes that trip to Karachi 16 years ago as an incredible growth experience that taught her a lot about human resilience and the importance of not "sweating the small stuff".
"The living conditions were not the best. Coming from a middle-class family in the US, I was used to a lot of comforts but I had to live like everyone else there.
"It was good for my character and encouraged me to continue my health profession studies.
"But what really impacted me in Pakistan was, I couldn't believe how happy the kids were – they were barefoot, playing in the streets, may not have even had a proper meal that day, but they were laughing and seemed so happy and content with their lives.
"I look at children back home and so many have depression and other issues, they're almost swallowed up by the world's small issues. Then you have these people with significant problems who are still putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward."
Conchita is fluent in both Spanish and English, understands Urdu and has learnt to read Arabic, the language of the Koran, since becoming a Muslim while volunteering in Pakistan.
She married and moved to Melbourne in 2002, and has been in Bendigo for the past six years with husband Sameer, a mechanical engineer, and sons Adam, 8, and Joseph, 5. Baby number three is due in September.
"We love it here," she says of Bendigo, "everyone has been so friendly and welcoming.
"It's very different from living in a big city but we wanted a place with that country feel for the kids to experience. Even though we are in a residential area, we thought we were living on a farm and when we first arrived, we even got two lambs to have in the back yard."
Conchita spent her early years here home caring for her boys, then returned to work when they became more independent.
She started at BCHS last December, but has also been extremely active in the community.
"I was always out and about doing volunteer work," she says. "I was involved in the Muslim community and the Believe in Bendigo campaign. I know a lot of people in town – Muslim, non-Muslim – because I am an active participant. I don't stay home much."
Conchita has been part of an interfaith panel visiting local secondary schools and is very supportive of the special needs community, especially families dealing with autism.
She is also a big proponent of organic food and has set up a small delivery service called Organic Town, which she operates on top of her refugee work with BCHS.
"I noticed that my kids thrived so much when they were having good, organic, non-processed food, so I have been a great advocate for that.
"A lot of families don't give their kids organic food because they can't afford it, so I thought if I could source it for my family and then pass it on to our local community, it's a win-win.
"I meet a lot of people through my deliveries. Sometimes I worry are they going to be shocked when they see this Muslim lady at their door. I have had a few people think I am just there propagating my religion, but I just say no, I have your organic delivery!"
Organic Town has taken a back seat this year, because Conchita is recovering from a badly broken femur suffered during her family's annual holiday home to visit relatives in America.
"It happened while I was ice skating in Las Vegas on December 29," she says of the injury that required two rounds of surgery and left her in a wheelchair initially.
She remains on crutches almost five months later.
"You know, we tried to play it safe," she sighs. "We don't gamble, we don't drink, we didn't go to 'the Strip' but I still got injured.
"We had to stay in the US an extra month because I couldn't fly home. Then I had to fly back business class because of my leg, which I would have enjoyed if I wasn't in so much pain.
"I found out I was pregnant when I got home – I would have been even before my accident - and had to be awake for my second surgery as they only used a local anaesthetic."
Conchita plans to take maternity leave later this year but is keen to return and continue her work with Bendigo's refugee community
She is proud of what BCHS offers the new arrivals and delighted by their success stories.
"We have a high employment rate among the Karen and Afghan at the moment, which is really pleasing.
"One Afghan family is the first among their community to purchase a house, which is a really big step. It just takes one to encourage the others they can also achieve their dreams - show them that they have done it and are still okay.
"To be a migrant in their circumstances and have bought a house is a big accomplishment."
Conchita loves helping people and is grateful to BCHS for giving her an opportunity.
"I am very thankful that someone took a chance on me – I am a bit of a wild card because my work experience is all over the place.
"And I'd be lying if I didn't say I have a lack of confidence, partly because of wearing a scarf. I worry sometimes it might not be the image people want representing their company."
But Conchita is determined to do everything she can to promote harmony and understanding.
It's one of the reasons she returns to her birth-land every year around Christmas.
"My parents are Christians and my sons get to experience it with their cousins.
"It is important for them to have good relations with different faiths, as they do within our own family. I grew up in a very open-minded environment and I want my children to treat everyone the same and know that they can break bread with anyone."
Discovering BCHS: Lynne follows childhood dream into nursing
LYNNE Murphy has spent decades shining a light on family planning and sexual health issues in Bendigo – and she couldn't imagine her life panning out any other way.
"I always wanted to be a nurse, even as a little child," she says, flashing the comforting smile that has reassured the countless clients who have passed through her clinic during her 35 years at Bendigo Community Health Services.
"I had a nurse's cape and stethoscope from when I was about five years old!"
Lynne works three days a week as a community health nurse at Eaglehawk, providing pap smears, family planning and sexual health guidance, HIV counselling, women's health advice and a caring shoulder to lean on for all who seek her services.
"I love the people," she says of her calling, "and if I can make a difference in their lives in some little way, then that's really special to me.
"In a couple of families here, I have been introduced me to their fifth generation. It's wonderful that they think enough of me to come in and say g'day - they also know they can come to me any time I am here and I will make time for them."
Lynne was born and bred locally and trained at the Northern District School of Nursing and Bendigo Base Hospital.
She joined BCHS after the birth of one of her four children and soon completed further training in the areas she was passionate about: family planning and sexual health.
There's no such thing as a typical day in her clinic, where she can be called upon to discuss menopause issues, talk about breast examination, offer contraceptive options or treatments for a range of sexually transmitted diseases and blood-borne viruses.
She nominates the drug ice as one of the biggest scourges facing the local community, and deals with its after-effects even though she is not on the front line in that field.
"Ice is widespread in Bendigo and it has an impact on many different aspects of family life. I don't know how to address it but support for people who are affected by it – not just those who use it – is important.
"It can result in family violence situations and sometimes that comes out in an interview with someone who has just popped in for a pap smear, and you start to unpack how things are going at home and if there are any other issues.
"Sometimes that just opens a can of worms and at the bottom of it all will be ice. It's sad."
"Unemployment is another issue that can lead to family violence and I see those two things as having increased over the years.
"But people need to know there is always a door open here and they can come in and what they say in this room stays in this room, unless of course it is going to pose a threat to them.
"That's something we pride ourselves on."
There is, however, much more to Lynne than just her nursing career and the time will come for her to put her well-worn "cape and stethoscope" away permanently.
"Retirement is very inviting," she says. "I am 67 years old and I'd like to think it is in the foreseeable future."
With 13 grandchildren, an interest in gardening and cross-stitch and the Woodbury lawn bowls club awaiting her, there's plenty to keep her active away from the clinic.
High on her priority list is more time on the bowling green.
She is a four-time club champion, won the women's pairs titles on several occasions and more recently was part of the club's champion mixed pairs combination.
Lynne says working in women's and sexual health and family planning has been a fulfilling career and she's proud to have spent so long working in community health.
"A lot of people don't like to talk about things below the navel," she grins, "but it has been very interesting and very rewarding and some special friendships have developed through it.
"Knowing people trust you enough to come to you with intimate issues is very pleasing."
FOOTNOTE: Lynne retired from her role at BCHS in 2016. We miss you Lynne!
Discovering BCHS: Educators love 'light-bulb' moments for people managing diabetes
THEY call it the "light bulb moment" – the point at which someone diagnosed with diabetes realises they can get their symptoms under control and largely self-manage their illness.
For those living with the chronic condition, these moments are life-changing; for the Bendigo Community Health Services diabetes education team, they make going to work worthwhile.
"I have one client, a young person with a lot of psycho-social issues, who needed to start on insulin because their diabetes was very poorly controlled," explains Jan Moore, one of three credentialled diabetes educators who work at BCHS in Eaglehawk.
"It has been a big challenge and taken a long time, but I have seen that little light bulb go off and this person has now managed to achieve excellent control of their diabetes and they are now engaging in work and engaging with other people socially.
"I am most proud of moments like that, because of all the hard work that person has put in to get to where they are now."
Jan's colleagues – Leanne Rankin and Cara Jamieson – agree.
"All of us can think of at least one person like that who has made our job worthwhile, because we see their success as our success," says Leanne.
The three women form a specialist team within BCHS that provides diabetes education and support five days a week in Eaglehawk, as well as outreach services at Strathfieldsaye, Elmore and the Bendigo and District Aboriginal Co-operative.
Research shows that people with well-controlled diabetes from diagnosis can drastically reduce their long-term risk of complications including heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, ulcers, amputations, blindness, impotence, gastric problems and related mental health issues.
"Poorly controlled diabetes damages nerves and blood circulation to those areas," says Jan.
The diabetes team works together with clients to help them self-manage their condition – and one of their biggest challenges is having them realise why this is so important.
"With chronic conditions, most of what needs to be done, has to be done by the person living with it," says Jan. "Our role is to work with people to discover what works well for them.
"They can sit down with us and learn what diabetes means for them, how it's going to impact on their lifestyle and what they can do to manage their own condition."
This involves developing strategies for taking medication, explaining how the medication works, how to use insulin pens and glucometers, encouraging healthy eating and exercise, and linking clients with other professions like podiatrists and optometrists.
"One challenge is helping disadvantaged clients access fresh, nutritious food - helping them understand why they need it and overcoming a perception it costs a lot of money," says Cara.
Social isolation and transport, mobility or safety issues can also hinder exercise, so the diabetes educators assist clients to overcome these barriers and find activities they enjoy.
The team says patients are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at a much younger age due to changing lifestyle factors.
And the longer they have the disease, the more serious risks they potentially face.
"I have been working with diabetes since 1996 and back then I rarely saw someone aged under 60," says Jan, "but now many of our clients are in that category."
Adopting a healthy diet, exercising and managing weight and stress levels can all lower the risk of diabetes, and BCHS also offers a Life! program to start people off on the right track.
Jan, Cara and Leanne are all qualified nurses who have completed specialist graduate training and are members of the Australian Diabetes Educators Association.
Clients can be referred to the diabetes education program through GPs or can call the BCHS complex in Eaglehawk to request an appointment, which attracts a small fee.
Each patient is triaged according to their needs and the most urgent cases are usually seen within a week.
Jan says a major aspect of the team's job is advocacy – guiding diabetics past the shock of diagnosis and steering them towards the myriad services that can make their lives easier.
"The services can be quite accessible, but people often don't know they are there."
Jan has been a nurse since 1977, working in community health for more than two decades.
"I was a real jack of all trades to start with, but when I moved to Bendigo and started working at BCHS in 2001 just in diabetes and respiration, I was able to consolidate my knowledge in just those two areas and that felt really good," she says of her more specialised role.
Her passion outside of the clinic is miniature horses – she drives them in harness both for fun and for show and enjoys the challenge of getting them working well.
Leanne has been a diabetes educator for 10 years, working in Rochester before moving to BCHS less than two years ago. She also has extensive experience in district nursing.
"I have always been a sole operator, so it's nice to be part of a bigger team here with a bigger network around you," she says. "One of our strengths is that we are three very different people with different approaches, but we work really well together."
When she's not at work, Leanne enjoys craft work and hand-makes goods including greeting cards and tea cosies. Some of her tea cosies are sold in stores under the Knit to Milloo label – a nod to the family farm between Lockington and Dingee where spent much of her adult life.
Cara is a Bendigo mum of three who enjoys gardening, renovating, cooking and reading.
She worked in women's health, emergency nursing and hospital discharge planning before developing an interest in diabetes education and joining BCHS in 2009.
"I find it so rewarding when you've been working with a client for months and that light bulb moment happens and they come back weeks later having made massive changes that have had a positive impact on their lives," she says.
Her closing message echoes the National Diabetes Week campaign slogan.
"We are here to help you, in any way we can."

Cajun Cabbage Au Gratin Casserole, a seasoned cabbage baked with a Velveeta cheese sauce.
Had some cabbage on hand so decided to do an au gratin for y'all. I am happy that it is "casserole season," but I hate the way that casseroles photograph - the pictures just do not ever do justice to the dish - but don't let that lead you.
There's really nothing to this recipe, but it's delicious if you love cabbage like I do. Just microwave the cabbage with some Cavender's seasoning and butter to precook it a little. Saute the celery and onion and thicken with a little flour and half and half, toss in Velvetta and a little Cajun seasoning, stir it all together, top with some bread crumbs and bake. Easy.
Maybe not so pretty, but good and buttery, as it should be, if you love cabbage, this is for sure comfort food.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut cabbage into bite sized chunks and place into an oven and microwave safe covered casserole dish. Sprinkle all over with Greek seasoning, toss, sprinkle again. Cut butter into slices and scatter on top. Cover and microwave for 15 minutes; set aside and keep covered.
Pour cheese mixture evenly over the cabbage. Add the Parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs and place evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly and topping is lightly browning.
That sounds really good !
I agree- sometimes the most delicious dish just doesn't look all that good in a photo. I have a barley soup that is wonderful- but a more boring photo I have never seen.
Anyway- I like yours- Velveeta is not used much anymore but I bet I have 5 or 6 casserole recipes that use Velveeta.
I've had lots of gratins, but never a cabbage gratin!
Never heard of this one- but will try it- I love all the flavors.
I've heard of cabbage casserole, but never eaten it, but it looks delicious! Smoothered in cheese it has to be good! Thanks for the recipe, Mary, I'll have to try this one as I love cabbage.
I just discovered the glories of cooked cabbage (after a lifetime of running screaming into the night avoiding my sainted mother's boiled cabbage).
I really like the idea of this, it's very outside of the box. I could definitely get my husband to eat cabbage if i served him this.
I can never get my casseroles to photograph well either. They end up looking not so appitizing.
Anyway, hope you're having a good week so far.
I'm having a card GIVEAWAY on my blog: http://730apron.blogspot.com/ All are welcome!
Thank you for this terrific recipe! Believe it or not, I made this on Sunday and it was more popular than the gumbo. Used grated cheddar instead of velveeta (couldn't find it here in NYC) and it melted beautifully in the half and half. Delicious! So glad to have found your blog!
I'm so glad you found you way here too & thanks so much for the feedback! I'm glad everybody enjoyed it.
Hi Mary, Just wanted to let you know how good your cabbage casserole was. I think the Cavenders seas. really gave it a good flavor! Was looking for something to go with porkchops, came to your site, looked under casseroles, and the cabbage casserole sounded good, hubby even commented on how good it was. Thank you for another wonderful recipe!!!!
You're so welcome Louise!! I just love Cavender's for cabbage but you can use it on lots of other things too so experiment with it where you would use another all purpose seasoning!


It goes without question, among economists of the central planning mindset, that if a central bank can just set the right quantity of dollars, then the price level, GDP, unemployment, and everything else will be right at the Goldilocks Optimum. One such approach that has become popular in recent years is nominal GDP targeting.
Other than expectations management—which is just telling the market "blah blah blah"—managing an income aggregate is about manipulating one interest rate or another.
In the real economy, people don't factor the quantity of dollars into their economic calculations. If you are in the grocery store to buy apples, you do not think about M0 money supply. Whether you are a farmer or miner, whether you operate a factory or trucking company, or even a bank or insurer, the money supply is irrelevant to you.
By contrast, the interest rate figures in every economic calculation in the economy. How much to borrow, how much to save, and how to assess the tradeoff between consumption and investment are all dependent on interest. The rate of interest is a factor in every price and the relationship between all prices in the economy.
For example, to grow apples you need land and you must plant trees. Then you have to wait for the trees to mature before they bear fruit. This requires an investment up front, in expectation of earning a return in the future. How high does this return need to be? It depends on the interest rate.
This decision, made by thousands of current and potential apple farmers, determines the price of apples in the grocery store. And this, in turn, determines the decisions of consumers to buy apples, to buy something else, or to do without fruit if they cannot afford it.
Whether the interest rate is manipulated upwards, whether it is forced downwards, or whether it is artificially locked in stasis, every price in the economy is affected and everyone's decisions are altered by the rate of interest. I have written a lot on the perverse incentives caused by interest rate manipulation, but today I want to focus on a different aspect of the problem.
So, let's perform a little thought experiment. Suppose a business must pay 20% interest on its capital. If it somehow manages to eke out a 21% rate of profit, it forks over 95 percent of what it earns to its lenders. If it can't earn at least 20 percent, then it ends up feeding its capital to its creditors.
Now consider a perverse world where enterprises can borrow at -5 percent. They literally repay investors less capital than they borrow. This case is the opposite of the one above; Lenders feed their capital to enterprises.
If interest is too high, the Fed is sacrificing entrepreneurs to investors. If interest is too low, then investors are sacrificed to entrepreneurs. Either way, our monetary planners pervert lending into a win-lose deal.
So what's the right rate of interest?
Only a market to determine that. Central planners have never gotten it right, are not right now, and will never get it right. They do, however, inflict collateral damage.
Market Monetarism—the idea of central planning of credit based on a GDP target—promises improved outcomes over what would happen in a free market. However, it's no better than conventional Keynesianism or Monetarism.
We should not be debating different approaches to central planning. We should be rediscovering the idea of a free market in money and credit.
 Most commonly this is called money supply. However, there are two problems with this. One, the dollar is credit not money. Two, it is not a supply in the sense of flows—e.g. corn supply or oil supply. It is a measure of stocks, Unlike corn or oil, dollars are not consumed in a transaction.

On rape cases, Congress leader Kamal Nath dubs BJP as 'Balatkar Janata Party'
By: FE Online |
New Delhi | Updated: Apr 16, 2018 5:38 PM
According to the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data, a total of 3,29,243 cases of crime against women were registered in 2015.
File pic of former union minister Kamal Nath
In possibly the sharpest attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party amid the ongoing uproar over rape cases, senior Congress leader and former Union minister Kamal Nath today dubbed the BJP as the 'Balatkar Janata Party'. Speaking to news agency ANI over rising cases of crime against women in the country under the BJP rule, Kamal Nath said that the people of Madhya Pradesh should decide if they would want to start calling the BJP as the 'Balatkar Janata Party'.
Nath went on to claim that at least 20 leaders of the BJP are involved in rape cases. "I had read somewhere that there are 20 BJP leaders who are involved in rape cases. People of Madhya Pradesh must make a decision whether it should be called BJP or Balatkar Janata Party," he said.
The remark comes amid a spate of incidents of crime against women that have put the BJP on the backfoot. A BJP MLA from Unnao was arrested last week on charges of raping a Dalit woman and then hatching a conspiracy to kill her father. Also, two senior BJP leaders from Jammu and Kashmir were seen participating in a protest rally in solidarity with the accused persons arrested for allegedly raping a minor and murdering her.
The Congress party has been accusing the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh of shielding Kuldeep Singh Sengar who was arrested by the CBI after Allahabad High Court's intervention. Party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Saturday said that BJP leaders have mastered the "art of extending state protection to rapists, shaming the victim and her family, defending the accused and crying conspiracy".
According to the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) data, a total of 3,29,243 cases of crime against women were registered in 2015. In 2016, 3,38,954 cases were reported across the country. In 2015, 34,651 rape cases were filed while in 2016, 38,947 rape cases were registered with police. When it comes to the rate of conviction in rape cases, the data is very shocking. The NCRB data show in 2016 15,450 cases came up for trial and just 331 ended up in conviction.

Thaught a on repairing an air compressor?


Radon can be reduced! Much like any other problem that can be present in a house, such as a leaky roof, or a water drainage concern, a radon reduction system can be installed and successfully lower high radon levels. In fact, out of all the potential problems a home may have, radon is one of the easiest to discover and fix!
Radon gas can enter a home in many ways and does so without being detected because we cannot sense it. Radon is a naturally occurring odorless gas than can't be seen, often times accumulating in dangerous levels inside homes without notice. The only way to know if your home is safe from radon gas is to have your home tested.
We've installed thousands of radon mitigation systems all throughout West Michigan.
Installing radon mitigation systems in residential homes is our specialty. Every home is as unique and different as the person who lives there. We pay very close attention to detail and respect the property of our customers. We strive to be professional in every aspect of our work.
Radon mitigation work often requires tedious planning and preparation. We hold a certified builders license so we can route radon systems in tricky spots, hiding them in discrete areas for aesthetic reasons.
HOW EXPENSIVE ARE THESE RADON SYSTEMS TO INSTALL AND OPERATE?
In some cases trying to estimate the cost of a radon mitigation system can be very difficult. Often times we need to look at the property in person in order to give an accurate quote.
How does radon gas get inside your home? The process of radon gas making it's way into your home is pretty or very complicated… depends on how much you wanna know. We can keep it simple though and still get the overall point across. It's just something that happens naturally, and the only way to know if elevated levels of radon gas are present in your home is to test for it. Test for radon gas, don't wait to find out.
If you have any questions related to your radon system and how it's functioning during the winter months this may help you out.


A few weeks ago, Nhi and I were fortunate enough to be invited to the Kraft SodaStream launch in Toronto. When we received the invitation, neither of us had any idea what it was, perhaps making SodaStream the perfect candidate for a publicity event. A quick Wikipedia search revealed that 20% of all households in Sweden own SodaStream machines, but for some reason SodaStream has not received nearly the same marketing in Canada.
The launch was held on the second floor of Spin, which is reserved for events. It was a great space, wide open with funky decorations perfectly in line with SodaStream's environmental theme. There were pop bottle lamps, candy trays DIY from cups and plates, and a giant inflatable globe in the middle of the room, filled with recycled pop bottles. Various SodaStream models were on display near the back. There was even a candy buffet set up along the bar, consisting of childhood favourites such as candy necklaces, sour soothers, and gummies. Overall a great vibe, playful and sophisticated all at once.
The bar was serving up SodaStream cocktails, from grape KoolAid gin to Crystal Light sangria, which was my personal favorite.
The event was catered by neighbouring Brassaii, and a number of hors d'oeuvres made their way around the room. Flavourful meatballs were served with tzatziki sauce. There was also a watermelon dish topped with feta, which was absolutely delicious as the feta brought out the sweetness of the watermelon. But my personal favourite had to be the tuna tartare topped with an avocado cream. The tuna was perfectly marinated and the freshness was evident. The only let down were the chicken skewers with pineapple, which had a strangely mushy texture that overwhelmed my taste buds.
Although the launch had a great venue and good food, I was disappointed that there wasn't a product demonstration or even a speech from a SodaStream executive/representative. I would have loved to hear about the inspiration, the concept, and the company. I think the SodaStream concept is really interesting, and I was waiting all night for someone to share that enthusiasm with me.
At the end of the night, we were surprised with a gift bag containing our very own SodaStream machine, start-up kit, and a bottle of lemonade syrup which was great as there is a considerable start-up cost for each machine. For avid soft-drink users, a SodaStream machine may be a good investment, but for those who indulge only occasionally, I could imagine cost as a deterrent.
It took me several weeks to get around to actually testing out the product. Our starter kits included a SodaStream machine, a carbon dioxide canister, and a box of flavour samples. However, as I was set to fly back to Edmonton, I realized the carbon dioxide canister fell under the category of "dangerous goods" and that I'd have to leave it behind in Toronto. There are several retail outlets that sell SodaStream products (including Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Canadian Tire, and Home Outfitters) but school kept me extremely busy and I kept putting off buying a new canister.
Despite the lack of product demonstration at the event, Nhi and I quickly figured out how to use the SodaStream machine on our own. It is very simple - simply snap the bottle into place, push down the top of the machine, and hold in place until the desired level of carbonation is reached (as indicated by LED lights on the front of the machine). The device does not need to be plugged in nor does it require any batteries. For ease of use, SodaStream gets major points.
The flavours included in the starter kit, however, were somewhat disappointing. In the few weeks after we bought the cannister, our team tried the orange-mango, pomegranate, ginger ale, cherry-cola, and Kraft's Country Style Lemonade. The fruit flavours in particular tasted very artificial. The orange-mango had a strangely sour after taste while the pomegranate had a strangely bitter one. I personally didn't mind the ginger ale, although it was noticeably different from canned ginger ale (I happened to have a can of Canada Dry to compare head-to-head). The cherry-cola did a good job of approximating the real thing, though I admit I'm not the biggest fan of cherry-cola. Our collective favourite was actually the Kraft Country Style Lemonade. It tasted exactly what store-bought sparkling lemonade would taste like and was rather refreshing and thirst-quenching on a hot Edmonton day. Looking back to the actual event, actually, it seemed that all the Kraft flavours were very well done compared to other SodaStream flavour brands.
Besides the ease, variety of flavours, and versatility of the Soda Stream machine, I found the actual carbonation of the drinks very well done with the machine. It takes an average of 2-3 seconds to get your drink fully fizzed (i.e. top LED) and approximately 1-2 seconds to get your flavour in. After that, you have a litre of your favourite carbonated drink for the rest of the day. The bottle itself is also designed quite well; somehow it manages to seal in the "fizz" so much better than your average pop bottle (or maybe that's just a by-product of how freshly fizzed your drink really is).
Step 6: Add Flavour and Enjoy!
Overall, we both had a good time at the SodaStream media launch party. The venue was beautiful and everyone there had ample time to sample the variety of Soda Stream flavours and network with other media personnel. The hors d'oeuvres from Brassaii were a little bit of a mixed bag, with a few stand outs (especially the tartare!) and a few disasters (i.e. the chicken pineapple skewer). As aforementioned, we both were looking forward to hearing a SodaStream representative talk about Soda Stream's vision and concept, along with a product demonstration and some hands on drink-making, which didn't exactly pan out.
As for the machine itself, we were both fairly impressed with the product. It is easy to set up and even easier to use. There are numerous flavours to try and all at fairly reasonable prices; a full flavour bottle costs anywhere from $5-10 but can usually make up to 60L of drinks! The only downside is that the start-up cost is quite pricey. In addition, once everything is bought, the CO2 cannister, which you can simply pay the difference in gas to get refilled in Europe or the US (probably around $5-10 max), costs $35 initially and around $25 each time to get replaced as SodaStream Canada does not yet have the refill service in place. As a pop-lover myself, I could see the allure of the SodaStream machine if you don't mind the rather front-loaded costs.
Restaurant Menu is one of the important asset to generate sales: Restaurant menu is a fairly influential in the success of a restaurant.Restaurant menu that contains pictures of food not only affect customers but it is also a chance to get additional order and future curiosity for their next visit.
