Eulogy for Jean (Grandma) Comer 11/8/11
Written by grandson, Matthew Comer.

We have all come together today to pay tribute to a grand lady. Known to some of us as Mrs. Comer,
Mum, Grandma Comer, ‗Cheese‘, or even ‗Mummy‘, as Brian still playfully called her, Jean was a
strong woman who lived a rich and full 95 years. In preparing these few words it quickly became
clear that there is so much material from her long and busy life that it was a challenge to fit it all in. In
recent days, as family have reminisced, some strong themes of her life were often mentioned, such as
hard work, devotion to family, faith, community and loads of fun.

Jean was born on the 27th July 1916 at Eaglehawk, the eldest child of Mary and Peter Pianto. When
she was just a few months of age the family moved to Kanira, now known as Culgoa. Then at the age
of three they moved to Wooroonook near Charlton where her father managed a farm. Jean completed
all her schooling at Wooroonook East State School. She and her sisters rode ponies 3 miles to school,
sometimes doubling up on the one horse. At the age of 13 Jean completed her schooling and that same
year the family moved back to Victoria St, Eaglehawk.

At 13 and now back in Eaglehawk, Jean commenced paid work, initially doing housework for a few
ladies around Eaglehawk, often for a few weeks after the women had had babies. At around 14 she
worked for a while at Magetti‘s wine hall in the Whipstick doing all the cleaning and cooking. She
had to stay there as it was too far to walk there each day. It was her first time away from the family
and she became very homesick.

When Jean was 15 she got work for about 3 months helping Mrs. Comer senior at Goornong. She
helped with washing, ironing and cleaning and spent a lot of time with a young 17 year old Tom, rab-
biting, walking around the paddocks and doing odd jobs on the farm.

After this she worked at the Camp Hotel in Eaglehawk doing all the washing, ironing, cleaning and
polishing for the 8 rooms in the hotel, and some cooking. She has been heard to say that she worked
five and a half years at the Camp Hotel and never once had a drink!

Jean was the oldest of 12 children and in recent days one reflection was that she probably started
working when she was about 6, helping her mother with the younger kids, and didn‘t stop working till
she was nearly 90. During those early years she gave all her wages to her mum to help with the fami-
ly. Her grandkids have occasionally been ‗tickled pink‘, as she would say, when Jean would reel off
the names of her brothers and sisters, almost like a rhyme; Jean, Marie, Mena, Jim, Doreen, Rita,
Frank, Carmel, Peter, Joe, Margaret and Bernie... we were amazed that there could be so many kids ,
(and that she could remember all their names in order). In latter years, Jean and her sisters regularly
came together for their legendary ‗chat days‘ , and boy they could talk. Jolly used to make himself
scarce when it was held at Goornong. Of course, as a Pianto, Jean followed Geelong, a tradition that
continues in the family, and she always maintained a strong identity with Eaglehawk.

There was an occasion when Jean, Marie and Mena made the trip to the Goornong Ball. Jean wanted
to see Tom, only to find he was in hospital. She later went to visit him in hospital and that‘s when it
all started. Tom and Jean were going out for a couple of years, Tom often making the trip to attend
dances with Jean at St. Liborious Eaglehawk. They were married on Easter Monday 14th April 1941 at
St. Liborious. A new chapter of her life then began, on the farm at Goornong.

After their marriage, Jeans mother-in-law hired some carpenters to come and cut a couple of rooms
off the old house and shift them across the yard, as the beginning of Tom and Jeans family home.
Over the years Jean took to renovating. She built the sleep out, knocked a wall out of the passage and


made a stool out of an old combine box to seat the ‗extra bums ‗at the table as the family grew.
That stool still comes out at family bonfires. Life on the farm meant lots of hard work. There was
plenty of milking and feeding pigs and chooks as well as keeping the house in order. Jean kept up
to 500 ducks on the dam and sold eggs from her many chooks. A couple of times a week she would
head across the paddocks with pram and toddlers in tow, to the highway to pick up ice blocks, as
they wouldn‘t deliver off the main road. She would then return with the ice in the pram back to the
house to cool the food for a few more days. Poor little Brian must have had a cold ride home!
Another favourite story of Jeans, was how she would have to lead the horse right round the pad-
dock for the first round when Tom was using the binder to make hay. The horse had to be kept
moving to avoid disrupting the working of the binder, but wanted to stop and feed in the uncut hay
of the first round.

Unlike today, in Jean and Toms‘ time there was no such thing as a mobile phone on the farm. This
didn‘t worry Jean though, she had quite a voice on her and many a time something like ―TOM,
DINNERS READY!!!‖ could be heard echoing across the paddocks.

While there was lots of hard work on the farm, there were also plenty of good times. There are so
many stories from family, extended family and friends , of good times shared at the Comers farm at
Goornong, round the table, under the tree out the front, or down the swamp.

Jean and Tom were blessed with 6 children, Keith, Maureen, Lorraine, Margaret, Noel and Brian.
They were always very proud of their kids and took a strong interest in their lives, as well as always
being there for them in many ways. Jean was always proud of Father Keith, especially when they
got to park in the ‗special priests spot‘ at Muskerry when he was home on holidays. She sat up a
little straighter in Mass when he was on the altar.

Some of the family have lived far and wide across the country and overseas over the years and
while Jean often lamented that they were ‗so far away‘, in reality the family always remained close.
Recently, while watching a DVD that Maureen put together from Mum‘s old slides it was amazing
to see all the adventures that Jean and Tom had to many destinations, usually while visiting family.
Having family across the country gave them quite an opportunity to travel. They even won a trip to
Singapore in a raffle once. Noel and Brian of course remained locally and had tremendous support
from Jean and Tom through the years, with their families and their businesses. For many years she
provided morning and afternoon tea for ‗the boys‘ who would gladly knock off and come up to the
house. She would also make regular trips down to the shed to see what they were up to and who
was around, though they loved to frustrate her by only telling her the nicknames of people who had
called in. She didn‘t ‗miss a beat‘ from that kitchen window.

As in-laws joined the family and19 grandchildren followed, Jean opened her heart and her home to
each one. Grandma and Grandpa have been an important part of all our lives. We all remember
things like the sandpit, shelling peas (and for some who didn‘t like peas, the pile spooned onto their
plate without choice at mealtime is a lasting memory ) , the walks down the swamp with Grandma,
picking mushrooms or wild sweet peas, Grandma‘s tale of the ‗hooligaroofus‘ which lived down
the swamp, how we all crammed into the lounge for slide nights or around the kitchen table for a
delicious roast, How did we all fit? Grandma and Grandpa‘s 50th and 60th wedding anniversaries
perhaps stand out as special times. (I/Matt) personally spent many happy hours at their house, often
following Grandma around the garden and I‘m sure this has influenced my path in life. Any time
there were visitors there would inevitably be a tour of the impressive garden. (I/Matt) often fol-
lowed along and when arriving at a certain plant Grandma would ask ―what‘s this one called Matt‖.
I would quietly reply ―Kiss-Me-Quick‖ at which Grandma would grab me and give me a big kiss!
Grandma was a terrific cook. It is amazing now to think back at how she so consistently had a
ready supply of cakes, buns, jelly slice, scones, jam, fruit cake, vegie soup, and pavs for special oc-

casions. Of course the tea pot was always on the table. It was always a bonus to be there on baking
day when you might get to lick the bowl, all the while listening to Grandma‘s constant tunes, whis-
tled, hummed or sung. Her time management was impressive with each day set aside for a set task,
washing day, ironing day etc. Grandma and Grandpa were amazingly self sufficient with an abundant
supply of vegies, milk, cream, preserves, meat, eggs and more importantly generosity and love. Some
of our families almost grew up on their produce, and many others in the community also benefited
from their generosity. The builders who renovated their house in the 1980‘s surely couldn‘t have be-
lieved their luck when supplied with lavish morning and afternoon tea every day on the dining setting
set up on the lawn.

Jean also worked hard for her community and gained much from an active community life. She was
involved in many a fundraising drive and with many activities including the Catholic Church at Goor-
nong and Muskerry, Goornong school mother‘s club, the Goornong hall, CWA, bowls, cards at
Axedale and Friday night bongo at the bowling club (Usually with a car load of grandkids).

Her hobbies seemed endless, and how did she find time for them all. There was crochet, sewing, mac-
ramé, gardening , and of course she was always knitting. Most of the grandkids had at some time a
jumper knitted from wool scraps, regardless of colour co-ordination.

She was devoted to her faith throughout her life. She rarely missed Mass and was proud to regularly
supply her flowers for the altar.

10 years ago this year, Jean and Jolly were devastated at the loss of Noel, now re-united. But like al-
ways they picked up and carried on with determination.

In recent years great-grandchildren began to arrive and they now number 27 and counting?! They‘ve
brought Grandma and Grandpa much gentle joy during their older years.

As they aged, Jean and Jolly were grateful for much support from caring family and friends, helping
them to stay in their home as long as possible. About 7 years ago a major change occurred when Tom
and Jean moved to Bethlehem home after over 60 years together on the farm, and while there was re-
sistance and sadness at this time, Jean adapted wonderfully to her new home. The tenderness and de-
votion they showed each other during these years was touching, Jean sitting with Jolly at his bedside
every day. Jolly passed away in September 2006.........after 63 years of marriage and Grandma lost
the love of her life.

Her graciousness and determination continued and she adapted well to a move to Heathcote Hostel.
She turned 95 two weeks ago and although unwell ,she shared this special occasion with family. We
are thankful to the staff at Bethlehem and Heathcote for their loving care. Grandma is now at peace
and re-united with jolly, her hard work is over.

A common sentiment among the family during this time is that it is the end of an era for us. Grandma
will be greatly missed but we have so many wonderful memories. We just hope that Jolly has a shed
up there that he can retreat to occasionally (with a fridge), as we all know who the boss was in their
house.

Great performance from Local Mine Rescue Team

At the recent 19th Annual Victorian Underground Mine Rescue Competition the Fosterville Gold
Mine Emergency Response Team came a very close second. The overall winner was from West-
ern Australia ( KCGM & Kanowna Belle), by a mere 0.8% ahead of the local team. Rescue
teams travelled from W.A, Tasmania, NSW and Stawell for the event.

Part of competition was held on site at the Fosterville Gold Mine, while the Huntly CFA Training
Ground, and UME in Marong Road Bendigo also provided areas for scenarios to be tested.
The competition tests skills in teamwork and endurance over a range of different emergency situa-
tions. Events include fire fighting, theory, first aid, as well as search and rescue. The Fosterville
team were the winners of the Rope Rescue Competition.

Fosterville Gold Mine general manager, Ian Holland, is very proud of the team and congratulated
Adam Coates, Mick Ryan, Brian Curry, Byron Padgham, Karl Shay, Mick Gibbons and Khan Oates
on an outstanding effort.

The success of such events also relies on many others at the mine providing support and ensur-
ing all runs smoothly during the competition scenarios. The mine provides the opportunity for em-
ployees to join the emergency response team and provides regular training for emergency situa-
tions. Over the years the Company has built up a group of employees who have been through the
emergency response team training, including participation in competitions, and they now provide
a core of very skilled rescue staff across all work areas of the mine site.

How healthy is your hearing?

National Hearing Week is an annual event held in the last week of August. It provides an oppor-
tunity to raise community awareness of hearing impairment and ways to protect to your hearing.
It‘s a reminder also that the ears are much more than a couple of fairly useful appendages ei-
ther side of our head. The ear is a complex piece of equipment consisting of many parts – not
just the visible exterior section. And the ear is responsible not only for hearing but for maintain-
ing balance as well.
The outer ear captures sound waves which are converted into mechanical energy by the ear
drum and the tiny muscles and bones in the middle ear. The inner ear changes this mechanical
energy into nerve impulses which are then transmitted to the brain. These nerve impulses are
the messages we decipher as different sounds.
Semi-circular tubes or canals within the inner ear, acting like a series of spirit levels, also give
us our sense of balance.
It‘s not surprising that with such a complicated system things might go wrong. In fact, ear prob-
lems are very common and they can be due to many causes. Some causes are very much self-
inflicted.
Research undertaken a couple of years ago by the National Acoustic Laboratories found that up
to a quarter of users of iPods and other portable music devices will suffer hearing problems.
And it‘s not the quality of the music but the quantity that‘s causing the damage.
Industrial deafness has long been recognised as an occupational health hazard; but research-
ers have now shown that whether it‘s a power tool or loud music the adverse affects on the ear
are just the same. In the study conducted outside Flinders St Railway Station in Melbourne and
the Sydney Town Hall, a quarter of people listening to iPods were doing so at a volume which
exceeded the safety level at construction sites.
Consistent exposure to loud music is the most common cause of hearing loss; an easily pre-
ventable cause, but as the deafness may not become apparent for some years, treatment is of-
ten initiated far too late.
‗Noise destroys – turn down the volume‘ is also the message to come from the Australian Tinni-
tus Association. Tinnitus literally means ringing or tinkling in the ears, but the constantly annoy-
ing sound that many sufferers live with 24 hours a day takes many forms. It might also be a
hissing or whistling sound. It may be like living with the summer sound of cicadas all year
round.
Many of us, perhaps 20% of the population, experience tinnitus from time to time; but for maybe
2% it can be severe and quite disturbing.
Apart from noise there are some other aggravating or risk factors. Some medicines – notably
quinine and possibly anti-inflammatory medicines – may cause tinnitus. Caffeine (in tea, coffee,
cola or chocolate) and alcohol may worsen tinnitus in some people. And smoking, which nar-
rows the blood vessels which supply vital oxygen to the ears, can make tinnitus worse.
Tinnitus can often be managed or controlled reasonably well; even so, a cure doesn‘t really
seem close at hand. However, treatment for some other common ear problems is often much
easier, provided the cause can be identified early on. The recently up-dated Ear Problems Fact
Card will help with some hints on how to reduce the risk of ear problems and treat those prob-
lems effectively when they do occur. The Card is available from the White Hills Amcal Pharma-
cy.
Ask for more advice and when there, pick up a copy of the Ear Problems Fact Card.

GOORNONG COMMUNITY SWIMMING POOL

We had our meeting in early August and were very relieved that quite a few people turned
up and others registered their interest even though they were unable to attend the meeting.
Thank you to those people. Hopefully we can turn around the negativity that seems to have
crept into our organisation and rebuild it back to the fantastic facility that it used to be.

At this stage the pool will be opening at the beginning of the season. We have people who
are willing to do the cleaning, the grounds maintenance and take care of the pump.

However, we are still very aware that the pool will not open on some days if we do not have
anyone to be on the kiosk. This was one of the major problems last year and if the commu-
nity do not put their hand up during the season to resolve this problem, then the future of
the pool will still be in doubt. We cannot open the pool unless the Kiosk is manned. We just
ask everyone who uses the pool to take some personal responsibility and put your name
down occasionally to help out. If everyone did this then we would not have a problem.

Our AGM will be held in November and at the next AGM all the follow-
ing positions will be vacated and need to be filled:

President:
Vice President:
Secretary:
Treasurer:
Pump Manager:
Elmore Field Days Co-ordinator:
Cleaning Co-ordinator:
Kiosk Volunteer Co-ordinator:
Food Co-ordinator:
Grounds/Maintenance Manager
Life-Guard Co-ordinator:

Some people have indicated that they will fill these positions so we need you to come to the
AGM so we can formally fill the positions.

We would like to thank Gavin Lyle for his efforts with the pumps over the last few years.
This is such a big commitment and such a vital part of running the pool. We very much ap-
preciate the time and effort that Gavin has put in.

The next meeting is Tuesday 13th September 2011 at 7.30pm at Rec Reserve. Please come
along and continue to register your support. We have quite a bit to do before the pool will
be ready to open in December.

For further information please contact Tony Dillon on 54322220.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME. WE WOULD LIKE MORE MEMBERS!

The responsibility for individuals to fight fire on their own land has always been a part of Victoria’s fire fighting sup-
pression management. In fact, CFA was founded from such beginnings.

Part of CFA’s commitment to working with these operators of private equipment is to ensure that safety is at the
front of everyone’s mind. Guidelines for Operating Private Equipment at Fires were developed to ensure both CFA
members and operators of private equipment work in co-operation when fighting fires. The guidelines aim to en-
sure safer and more effective operations and to help both parties understand their responsibilities at fires.
Who are the guidelines for?
The guidelines have been developed to help operators of private equipment understand their responsibilities when
fighting fires on or near their land. They will also help improve communication between operators and CFA to en-
sure better co-operation between the two.
What are the guidelines all about?
The guidelines promote safe, efficient, effective and cooperative involvement of operators of private equipment with
CFA to control a fire in the shortest time possible. They provide operators information to help them to make in-
formed decisions and take responsibility for their actions, and to help them prepare before they even attend a fire.
Who do the guidelines apply to?
The guidelines apply to operators of private equipment at fires on private land, including burn off activities man-
aged by CFA. The guidelines do not apply to individuals defending their homes using fixed or portable firefighting
equipment.
What is private equipment?
"Private equipment" means equipment or machinery (including tankers) owned or operated by a private individual
or body that may be used to help contain, suppress or reduce the effects of a fire. It does not include:
- equipment or machinery used for the private defence of domestic dwellings in a wildfire; or
- equipment or machinery contracted by the fire control agency. Copies available at the Bendigo CFA office or
