ello Readers, The Adelaide Collectors Guild held their Annual Collectible Display Day at the Yankalilla Show Grounds on Sunday 29th January.

There were many different collections including cars, beer cans, guns, swords and much more. Call Kevin on 8558 3240 if you are interested the club.

New members are welcome. Pictures of the day have been posted on the Yankalilla Regional News Facebook page. The link is http:// www.facebook.com/pages/Yankalilla-RegionalNews/228932863825219 Just a few weeks into the new year and we have a major shake-up in the Yankalilla Council. Mayor Paul Newman resigned as Mayor and from the council. Malcolm Schlein became the new Mayor - a job some may say he has had his eyes on for a few years. They say keep trying until you get it right! It seems our council could put the Labor Party to shame with their party politics and behind door deals. This subject is one of the topics in this months letters to the editor on pages 18/19.

Reservoir Range Wines opens in Myponga

D

eclan and Kylie Rowan launched their label Reservoir Range to make wine accessible to everyone, not just wine connoisseurs. The couple say many people are put off drinking wine because they are confused about varieties and the language used to describe wines. ‘‘Sometimes it comes down to people being scared about where to start with wine,’’ Mrs Rowan says. ‘‘You need to know about varieties and vintages and we thought ‘why not make the choice easier for people’.’’

Mr Rowan said “the inspiration for the name Reservoir Range came from our proximity to the Myponga Reservoir and that part of the range of hills on our vineyard property is in the catchment

area for the reservoir.” The new cellar door is in the main street of Myponga and is open every day from 10am till 4pm.

Reservoir Range has launched with three wines – Mr Red (a red blend), Mr White (a white blend) and Ms Blonde (sparkling) – and is produced in both standard 750ml & the smaller sized 187/200ml bottles. The range has a slogan – ‘‘It’s wine. Get over it.’’ – and purposely doesn’t bother with describing the varietal or vintage of grapes used in each of the wines as the wines are made to the same taste each time.

The Rowans decided to launch the brand in Australia after a successful trip to the London International Wine Fair in 2010 where they market tested the products. Mrs Rowan says it is ‘‘good quality, drink now, every day wine’’ that everyone can enjoy. ‘‘It’s have-now wine and you don’t have to cellar it for years,’’ she says.

A standard 750ml bottle retails for $9.95 and a 6 pack case from $53.75. Mr Rowan says there are plans to add a ‘reserve range’ later this year and that they are currently looking at export market opportunities.

Work Starts On Bungala Park

A SENSE W OF PLACE Great Food, Wine & Customer Service Lunch, Coffee & Dinner GO THE EXTRA MILE ‐ WE DO

ork has begun in earnest with the aim of having Bungala Park open for the public to enjoy over the Easter Break.

The shelter sheds are now under construction and Mayor Malcolm Schlein and Councillor Louise Allstrom visited the park recently to inspect the progress. Workmen were busy with a crane lowering girders into place and the frame of a shelter shed was taking shape.

Mayor Schlein says that he believes that Bungala Park could be a focal point in the district and likened it to the beautiful park in the centre of Strathalbyn. “The park with its shady trees, shelter sheds and wide open spaces will be a great place for visitors and locals alike to picnic and enjoy BBQ’s” says May o r Sc hlein. Councillor

Allstrom said “I’d love to see this park used for a variety of events.

We could have concerts, open-air exhibitions and markets, Carols-by Candlelight, Australia Day and many other celebrations.

Bungala Park was purchased in 2009 by the Council and named by the community. Council has applied for and received grants to commence development of this land and plans were drawn up by consultants Oxigen. Development has been planned in stages and on completion the Park will have, shelters, picnic areas, walking paths and bike trails, a BBQ, toilet, play equipment and a wetlands and community garden is under consideration.

More than 11,500 Australians will develop leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma this year or a person every 46mins!

The event will take place at Yankalilla Area School gym on Friday the 16th of March at

1.15pm. If you would like to come and watch the event, we ask for a gold coin donation on the day.

T

he first meeting for 2012 was held on 1st February 2012. The fun started at 9.30am with a craft morning, followed by lunch, with everyone bringing along their own food, and then followed by the general meeting at 1.30pm. The Branch has decided to try the new format with a craft morning followed by a general meeting after lunch and then only having one meeting day a month instead of separate craft afternoons and meeting afternoons.

The first meeting was a great success. Some ladies chose to do their own crafts but most of the ladies chose to make some gorgeous potholders of various colour combinations with kits prepared by our Handicraft

Secretary and her helpers.

All are welcome to come along to craft at 9.30 am and bring your own craft if you do not wish to participate in an organised project.

Please feel free to come and have a cuppa and some fun. If you wish to stay for the afternoon meeting you are very welcome, if not feel free to leave whenever you have to.

The next meeting will be on the 7th March at 9.30am. All welcome! If you have any queries please contact the Secretary on 85584019.

This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males: A wife asks her husband,

"Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6."

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"

He replied, "They had eggs."

knots and coming from the southwest. The onshore winds are the best at Normanville because they are usually constant. Whereas the prevailing south easterly tend to gust as they come across the peninsula. Gusty winds can be very testing for the unsuspecting sailor.

The art of good sailing in gusty winds is to be able to read the water, like looking out for areas of darker rippled patches and to anticipate the sudden gust. The Normanville sailing club attracts members from all walks of life.

Some like myself are retired but the most come from a wide variety of occupations, the common thread is that we all look forward to Sundays

Yankalilla Writers Final Meeting

S

even women met at the Courthouse, on Monday February 6, 2012, to celebrate 20 years of happy memories and fellowship. Ena Harvey had founded the group on the February 3, 1992, she described how she had established it, and how she and Rose Thomas had attended meetings of the Neighbourhood House committee until funding by the Commonwealth Government for rural community programmes was withdrawn. Ena told us that at the very first meeting there were 25 potential writers, some wanting guidance with writing their memoirs. For many being asked to write creatively was a real challenge.

Over time numbers of members fell stabilising at 12 to l5 people. It was a very vibrant group, its activities including regular writing workshops, sometimes with visiting speakers such as established writers of prose and poetry, with topics which included self publishing, editing etc. Other writers Groups were invited to our

workshops and we went to visit other Groups as well even spending time in Kangaroo Island. We wrote constantly, publishing our work in anthologies and in our Wordweavers magazine. The members were supportive, encouraging yet critical, producing an atmosphere conducive to creative writing. Some people were more ambitious than others, intending to write and have their work published, for them the work shops were important, others enjoyed the writing and the fellowship most and became the regular members.

Many well known local people were members including Claire and Mac Brooks, Beth Day and Roy Williams who wrote 'To Find the Way.' We were pleased to have both past and present members at the celebration, especially Ena and Rose, and were also glad that Joan Arnold and Kath Moulding could be with us, unfortunately though Thelma Driver is now in ACH. She is still writing and

publishing her children's stories with the help of June James. The remaining members Betty Brockbank, Fay Burford and Anna Rolla were sorry that it was our final meeting, but realize that Community interests have changed with more people wanting to participate in Book Clubs and Readings.

Writers pictured from left to right are: Betty Brockbank, Ena Harvey, Rose Thomas, Anna Rola, Joan Arnold, Fay Burford, Kathleen Moulding

’Beached Az’ a Success for Youth Climate Group!

T

he Yankalilla Action Group for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) are proud to announce the success of their 2011 social event; “Beached As”. As advertised in the Victor Times and YAS Newsletter, the action group organised and

hosted a free youth event at Normanville Beach, to provide a day of entertainment for locals and to promote the AYCC’s new campaign called Repower.

The event was the brain-child of 13-year-old local, Kyle Hanak, and it included a BBQ, Zumba class, music and beach volleyball, all at no charge! The day was a success, much to the delight of the young group who organized the day, and the fun and welcoming nature of the event brought together many different youth (even some from Adelaide) who might not have otherwise met.

Local teenager, Bobbie Lewis-Baida, said the event was a great idea. “It actually gave local kids something to do in town on a Sunday!”. Though the day wasn’t only for fun and games. We also collected signatures for our Repower petition, which is in support of investment in renewable energy. This same petition was signed by thousands of people across Australia, and in November, Yankalilla local, Isaac Astill presented the 17,000 signatures to Federal Climate Change Minister Greg Combet in Durban, South Africa! A huge congratulations must go to Michelle O’Leary for her incredible efforts in signature collecting on the day!

Of course there were many generous people who put their time and effort into organising the Beached As, but a special thanks must go to Cheryl Carter for running the free Zumba, Youth Officer Ulus Fuat and the Yankalilla Council for funding for the free BBQ, Keith and Jodee Lavers for donating the gas bottle and cooking the BBQ, and the Normanville SLSC for lending the BBQ, helping with supervision, and for

joining in with Zumba!

One of our ideas for 2012 is to help ‘Repower’ a local business/ building, by helping them fundraise for solar panels/ solar hot water. If you are keen to get involved with organizing future activities, or have some ideas to share, contact the AYCC’s Yank Action Group Convenor, Elise Lavers at elise.lavers@youthclimatecoalition.org.

Yankalilla & District Lions Club

he Yankalilla & District Lions Club have received a letter from 'Lionsoz knitting project' thanking everyone for the great response to our 'Beanie Project' last year, and she has asked if we would like to take part again. There are several groups who are in need of knitted garments.

The list is: HOPE BEARS would like to have bed socks, beanies, scarves, mittens for all ages. These would give comfort and support to those undergoing treatment for cancer and other illnesses.

MIRACLE BABIES FOUNDATION, they need booties, beanies, jackets for babies.

THE BORNEO ORPHANAGE needs jumpers, beanies, jackets for babies.

YOUTH OFF THE STREETS. Father Chris O'Riley would like beanies and scarves for older youth.

We are hoping the same wonderful people that knitted before would like to do so again, and of course anyone else who can knit and would like to help the less fortunate of this world, from the

Photo is of Francesca Bellati trying on one of the beanies that were sent to us last year.

They had a great time besides their talks to these clubs and having dinner with them, they visited the old Mount Gambier Gaol and also saw the Blue Lake, Climbed Mount Shcank, the Naracoorte Caves and also had time to see a movie. They caused a lot of interest amongst the school children in the area, and it is hoped new Leos Clubs might be formed in the South East.

The "Youth of the Year Quest' is to be held on the 20th of February, this is a great project to encourage young people to take part in a competition to improve their public speaking and give them more confidence to face new challenges. 14 members of the Yankalilla Area School Leo Club with the sponsorship of the Yankalilla & District Lions Club, Brighton Lions Club and the Mount Gambier Lions Club had a 4 day trip to Mount Gambier. The young people were warmly welcomed by the following Lions Clubs, Mount Gambier, Gambier City, Millicent, Kalangadoo and Penola and the Lioness Clubs of Millicent and Mount Gambier.

Tony Jimmieson of the Yankalilla Lions, who helped create this Leos Club, his wife, Pat and Sonia Parker Leo Advisor and Wally Pillen, Senior School Co-ordinator acted as chaperones.

the road and a tent had been erected where a number of young Chinese people were eating a meal. The film crew and actors of “Jiang Ai” were taking a break.

Mayor Schlein went to welcome the visitors. He met with the liaison officer Mark Evans who explained that the film was a joint initiative with South Australian Film Incorporation and the South Australian Tourist Commission and was a romantic drama being made for Chinese audiences with a Chinese cast and director.

Mark said that the title translated into “cherish your love forever” or “eternal love” and was about a Chinese person who visited Australian to see the vineyard that he had inherited. The story was a basic love story about young love and was part of a series seen by up to 200 million viewers.

Normanville beach was the chosen location as the director wanted to have a scenic place suitable to film a boat on the shore and a bottle carrying a love letter washed in by the tide.

Mark said “They are also very keen to film a sunset over Yankalilla Bay”.

This is another example of our beautiful location being used to promote South Australia.

Gone But Not Forgotten

n December we lost three special people of our community. On the 15th December Murray Keane of Normanville passed away after a short battle with cancer. I met Murray nearly two years ago when I took up the sport of fishing. There was a group of guys that I fished with and because I was only a novice he told me a few of his fishing secrets which helped me immensely. Nothing was too much trouble for Murray he would always help you out. I love his saying the "sun is coming up the fish will start biting soon". He was a true gentleman and will be missed by all his fishing friends. Then on the 19th December we lost Graham Pomeroy of Yankalilla he was such a special guy no airs and graces with Graham. I had known Graham for 11years and I used to frequent his thrifty link store regularly. Always had a smile on his face and I would stir him up about the Crows as I was a Power supporter. I would often see him out on the road delivering the gas bottles and give him a toot. He would always give you wave and a smile. He did a lot for the community and I am sure he will be missed. On the 22nd of December my dearest neighbour Jeanette Gardiner of Carrickalinga passed away after a hard fought battle with cancer. Too young to be taken by this dreaded disease. When she first shifted to the area we became friends. She worked for Victor Harbor health services helping people that needed in house attention. Then she got Cancer early 2011 and then finally had to give up work. She fought hard and then she got a second bout of cancer and this was to be her undoing. She told me she was going to fight it. I still can't believe that she is no longer with us. She was so loved by all her friends and workmates. She had an infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes. Sometimes you are lucky enough to meet such a special human being and I certainly was blessed.

Graham Pomeroy

e would like to say a HUGE thank you to the Yankalilla community, for all of the help that you have provided to Mum after the recent passing of our Dad, Graham Pomeroy.

A special mention goes out to Tom and Pat, Lyn and Craig, Mark, Yankalilla Lions Club, Yankalilla CFS, Yankalilla Area School Staff and to those that we have missed. Your love, support and hard work has made this tough time a little bit easier for mum and for our peace of minds (being out of state…)

THANK YOU. Tracey and Kelly Braithwaite

Coffee

heers to a healthy year for the community We have been weekenders for nearly a year after purchasing a little place down here. From the word go we decided that we would do all our weekend food and wine shopping down here to support the local businesses. You can get just about anything you need, either in Normanville or Yankalilla no matter what entertaining you are doing. The supermarkets, butcher and bakeries all serve us well and the customer service is second to none. Take a bow all of you.

We never fail to seek out the local Regional News so we can keep up with the comings and goings Oh! and the gossip.

When I read of another weekender with nothing better to do than bag the local businesses because the coffee was not up to his/her liking, my blood pressure shot up. Get a real life! And embrace this wonderful community. Or just stay home and make your own coffee.

Speed Limits On Local Roads

I

read in the latest council minutes that the Department of Transport is requesting that the Yankalilla council area impose a 80 km/h limit on all unsealed roads in the district. What an eyesore that would create with 300 or so extra signs blighting the country side. Why does the department think this is necessary?

Most people wouldn't drive much over 80 anyway but the imposition of a speed limit will mean more speedo gazing instead of concentrating on the road something which is much more vital on an unsealed road than on a bitumen road. Do we really have that many accidents caused by driving at more than 100 km/h on Yankalilla roads? Most accidents on unsealed roads would be caused by inattention, being caught out by changeable conditions or wildlife.

The visual (and city-centric bureaucratic) intrusion on the gorgeous Fleurieu landscapes should not be allowed to happen.

I had a great time, flash or casual, very reasonable price wise, kids, mums, dads, grandma’s, aunties, uncles and something for everyone.

Oh but what fun I had, and Angie is such a lovely young lady and a mum to 3 kids, wow. Locals and visitors look for yourselves.

Great Service

irstly I would like to thank you for your great publication of Yankalilla Regional News. I enjoy reading it and because we camp at Normanville every year between Xmas and New Year is the reason for my letter.

We had visitors from interstate this year who wanted somewhere to take us out for lunch and asked if I knew of anywhere in Normanville, of course I didn't but found a few restuarants, winerys etc advertised in the Yank News. I t was because of this that we booked in to a cafe for lunch called La Mer. I would like to thank Ally and her staff for the best service, food and coffee we have ever been accustomed to and would highly recommend this cafe to others. I believe they are opening in a new venue and hope they do well and we look forward to our next visit. Again Thanks to all the staff at La Mer. Trevor and Kerry Carr Sellicks Beach

Club Spirit

y wife and myself came to Normanville to settle here more than a few years ago and it was love at first sight, so now we are established “locals” and loving every minute of it.

We joined the Yankalilla & District Senior Citizens Club and found it in dire need of people, refurbishment as the members quota was spiralling out of control in the negative due to bad management in the upper echelons with the result that members left in droves.

Now having made a clean sweep, the club appears to be on the up and up with new members joining us.

As there is little to do for the local 50 plus the club can offer an array of entertainment for local and district inhabitants.

Some of the activities available are: Carpet Bowls, Shuffle Board, Card Games, Bingo, Scrabble, interesting Trips day and 4-5 away trips, movies, lunches and entertainment.

We couldn’t believe our ears when told that the yearly membership was only $5.00 per person and that you could win your membership fee back when your number comes up in the monthly draw.

Anyone above the age of 50 would be most welcome to come and try any of the activities or just come to lunch before committing to full membership.

Like to know more? Please feel free to ring me.

Local History

y daughter and her husband recently purchased a home at Carrickalinga where we spent Christmas Day with them. Whilst there my daughter gave me a copy of your paper which I found to be of great interest.

I have many history books on various subjects in my room and

did wonder whether items of your area would have a place in you paper.

I have included a couple of items that you may find of interest with a note from where I did extract them.

I have now reached the age of 84 and am familiar with several sayings on history which include “History is a mirror of the past”,

Taken from the “Civic Record of South Australia 1921-1923”

“What happens today is history tomorrow” and one I enjoy in particular “Not to know what happened before we were born is to remain always a child.”

Back in the 1950’s I was employed

by G.A. Smith Earthmovers during which time we did considerable work for the Yankalilla Council with at the time your District Clerk being Tom Lyddon. I was employed by this firm for a period of some 11 years and was the most enjoyable period of my life.

District Council of Rapid Bay

T

his District Council of Rapid Bay was so named by some of the crew of the ship “Rapid”, which landed on this part of the cost in the early days. Upon exploring the adjacent country they discovered a large valley similar to the locality of Rapid Bay, and called it Second Valley, by which name the township is still known. The other township in the district was known, originally, as Stockyards, but the Government have since given it its present name of Delamere.

Rapid Bay was proclaimed a District Council in 1860, and was incorporated in 1880. This district has an area of 70,080 acres and is divided into three wards, viz., Second Valley, Bullaparinga and Cape Jervois.

One of the oldest districts in South Australia, Rapid Bay is situated 57 Miles south of Adelaide, communication with which is by a daily motor service and the S.S. “Karetta” calls twice weekly. In the early days the district was served by a horse coach and sailing boats periodically.

Many years ago mines were worked in the district, and over 200 men were employed in the Wheal, Coglin and Talisker mines. However, on account of deficient capital, these mines were closed down about 55 years ago.

The district is now used principally for grazing and dairying and is also well know for its wonderful scenery.

The roads being well cared for it is visited by hundreds of motorists yearly.

A very fine granite memorial has been erected at Second Valley in honour of those who enlisted from the district during the Great War. A memorial hall has been recently opened in the district, and two parks have also been prepared and planted with trees in memory of the local fallen soldiers.

From experience I realise the importance of local papers having been the instigator of two myself but certainly not to your standard.

Your Faithfully Martin Dunstan Thank you Martin, we are always interested in any items of local interest.

The following was supplied by Martin Dunstan Rating started at 6d. In the pound£, yielding £100 and the present rate of 1/- in the £ yields £227 yearly. The capital value of ratable property is £90,960 and the assessment value is £4,584.

Following is a list of the names of the past and present member of the District Council:- Messrs. F. Collins, A.J. Grundy, R. Mitchell, W. Collins, M. Christie, M.F.D. Sells. OPresent members:- Messrs.

he Minnawarra Biodiversity Survey is on again! Wednesday 18th April to Sunday 22nd April. The last few days of the holidays. We would love to show anyone who is curious about what might be rustling in the undergrowth. Last time we got up close and prickly with an echidna! It is in Heritage Listed bush on a farm at Hindmarsh Tiers, near Myponga. We have 8 sites which we check twice a day. They are set up with

traps to catch the native marsupials and rats, as well as the frogs and lizards. We weigh and record the animals and reptiles we find and then let them go again.

Wirrina Alive And Well

ayor Malcolm Schlein visited Wirrina this week and met with Aaron Batts, General Manager and Debbie Graetz, Functions and Conference Co-ordinator. Aaron was keen to update Mayor Schlein on Wirrina’s operations and had some interesting statistics.

He reported a very successful event the previous weekend drawing people from all over Australia to join the locals in a special celebration.

Aaron had excellent feedback from the guests and he said that “they enjoyed a great evening and partied on to 4am!”

Aaron listed forward bookings which included workshops, sales meetings, conferences, conventions, birthday dinners and weddings. He was proud of the fact that the room growth rate was up to 21% which compared very favourably with SATC figures for the region of 24%. He was very positive about the

future and commented that Wirrina was taking a stall at the Caravan and Camping Show to encourage visitors to the Fleurieu with some great promotional offers.

“We employ a staff of 48 locals with an annual salary bill of $1.2 million” Debbie said and was full of praise for their enthusiasm and commitment. “We all work very hard to provide a great service”.

She commented that Wirrina brought people to our region and that guests were encouraged not only to enjoy the resort but to explore the district, see the beaches and visit the shops and local attractions as well as to experience the food and wine of the district in the cafes, restaurants and hotels.

Debbie said that Wirrina had some theme nights planned for this year which should be of particular interest to locals and visitors alike.

“Last year we had theme nights which featured particular cuisines and they were very popular but we thought that we might try something a little different this year”.

Aaron and Debbie were very excited and enthusiastic about the healthy bookings for the functions, events and accommodation and the plans for the future of the resort.

Natural Resource Centre - Normanville Saturday 3rd March – Veggie Swap Sunday 4th March – Clean Up Australia Day Saturday 10th March – Solar Power Saturday 18th March – Green Cleaning Saturday 7th April – Veggie Swap

Veggies Bring The Community Together

Y

ou could be forgiven for thinking that a summer veggie swap would be full of zucchinis and tomatoes. Not so at the Normanville Natural Resource Centre’s (NNRC) first ever veggie swap which attracted over 60 enthusiastic participants providing more than 35 different types of home grown or homemade organic produce.

As the magic sounds of a flute duet floated over the event people swapped food, knowledge and had a chat whilst enjoying a cuppa with a chocolate muffin. The couple of veggies left over were donated to Meals on Wheels.

Thanks to students from Yankalilla Outside of School Hours Care for making amazing giant fruit and veggies, which certainly added to the

colourful display and to Caroline Weatherstone and Libby Roughead for serenading us with their flutes.

Also thank you to all volunteers who helped put the event together especially to Lucy Cheesman from Lulu Photography for the great photos.

Anyone who has something to share can participate in the veggie swap, whether it be produce, seedlings, recipes, flowers or eggs. Membership will be required which is $5 annually for individuals or $10 for households with all fees going towards helping run the swaps.

Come along to the NNRC on the first Saturday of each month from 9.30 am – 11 am to see how this swap is operated; there is no selling involved, it is all about sharing, run on an honour system. Goods are simply spread out on trestle tables and then attendees select what they want and need, roughly in proportion to their contribution.

Clean Up Australia Day

E

veryone can do their bit for Australia, individually or as part of a team. Clean Up Australia Day is a simple way you can clean up, fix up and conserve your local environment.

Be a good sport and join the team at the NNRC to help clean up your local area. An hour of your time on Sunday 4th March would be really

Veggie Swap

appreciated, it is not hard, we will supply bags and gloves and all you need to do is register at the centre from 10.00 am on the day. There will be a small reward of a delicious sausage sizzle at noon to thank you for your support.

Solar Power

A

re you confused by Solar?

Thinking of installing a Solar System but find it all a bit confusing?

The Normanville Natural Resource Centre and Transition Southern Fleurieu are hosting a Solar Information Session at The Yankalilla Youth and Community Centre on Saturday 10th March at 10.00 am.

Come and hear Neil Hoyloak and Kerr Smith of Fire Electrical Solar Contractors and learn about the different Solar Systems and what to look for when purchasing one. The session will explain how the positioning and location of your system is just as important as the size, demystify the rebate system and provide some insight into what the future of Solar holds.

To register contact NNRC on 8558 3644 or book on line at www.nnrc.com.au for this free event.

Tea and coffee will be available.

Green Cleaning hat is green cleaning? – a safer, healthier way to clean your

Green cleaning is defined as cleaning to protect human health without harming the environment. However, green cleaning is not just about chemical substitution. It is a complete cleaning and recycling program using different types of equipment and techniques to also improve indoor air quality and reduce waste that ends up in our waterways or in landfill.

Widely accepted in the UK and USA, and growing in popularity in Australia, many organisations throughout the world are now committed to the implementation of a ‘Green Cleaning’ program, and maintaining a workplace environment that enhances human health and fosters a transition toward sustainability.

Now it is your turn to learn how to clean your home using four basic household ingredients. Replace all your commercial cleaning products with cheaper, natural and safer alternatives. You will never have to walk down the supermarket cleaning lane again!!

You will take home samples of carpet or room deodorising powder, lemon dish washing soap, rose liquid hand soap and heavy duty soap powder.

The Teachings of Jesus Christ corrupted by the Church!

We follow on with the clear simple Bible teaching and compare it to the Church tradition.

THE BIBLE shows that Christ tried to correct the false conception that his mission included establishing the Kingdom of God on the earth at his first coming. On one occasion as he neared Jerusalem, in company with the Apostles, he spoke to them a parable "because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear" (Luke 19:11). The parable concerns a nobleman whom the Lord represented as going "into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return" (v. 13). Before leaving, he delivered into the hands of each of his servants a sum of money, commanding them to “occupy till I come!".

Come to do what? Establish the Kingdom that the disciples felt was going to be at his first advent. This was parabolic of the two advents of Christ. As, in the parable, the nobleman went into a far country, so the Lord ascended into heaven. The nobleman’s command to his servants was to "occupy till he come again". By this parable, the Lord taught that he will come again to the earth, to complete the work commenced at his first advent, nearly 2000 years ago. This fact of Bible teaching is clearly enunciated in the following terms: "This same Jesus, which is taken up from you (disciples) into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven" (Acts 1:11).

This statement teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ, who was crucified almost 2000 years ago, and rose again from the dead to ascend into heaven, shall

return in like form as he went: that is, personally and visibly. He was seen when he left, and he will be seen when he returns: “Every eye shall see him, and they also which pieced him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him” (Revelation 1:7) THE CHURCH tradition has destroyed this teaching, telling the congregation that their hope is in heaven; refusing to acknowledge the plain and parabolic teachings of Christ, the prophets and apostles.

Would you like to challenge these facts? If you are a Church minister let me and your congregation know how you get around these plain bible teachings to come up with the traditional belief of heaven going.

young woman brought her fiancé to visit her parents. After a nice dinner, the father invited the fiancé to the library for a talk.

"So what are your plans?" he asked the young man.

"I am a seminary student," he replied.

"A seminary student. Hmmm," said the father.

"Admirable, but how will you provide a home for my daughter?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her an engagement ring, such as she deserves?"

"I will focus on my studies and God will provide for us."

"And how will you support your children?"

"Don't worry, sir. God will provide."

The conversation continued like this; each time the father questioned, the young man insisted that God would provide.

Later, when the mother asked about the male conversation, the father sighed, "Well, he has no job and no plan, but the good news is: he thinks I'm God!" No sense being pessimistic; it probably won't work anyway.

L e t t e r s Rubbish

I

would like to say that I was extremely disappointed about the rubbish pick ups from the council bins provided by the beach. They were overflowing and then bags where being put on the ground. The year before these were emptied every day during the Christmas and New Year period but now this has been sourced out to other providers on picking up the rubbish it was not being done as regular. I rang the council where I was told that the rubbish would be picked up tomorrow. But in the mean time the paper and everything else that were in the bags were blowing everywhere. So much for keeping our environment free from rubbish. I spent at least 1 hr picking up what had blow all over the beach and the dunes. Hope they re-access the problem for the coming holidays at Easter.

Council Response to Petition Against Norfolk Island Pines Along Main Street, Normanville

T

he petition to the Yankalilla Council from over 200 residents of the Normanville area was considered at the September 2011 meeting of council.

A lengthy agenda item on the topic contained the following: It may be that any future Norfolk Island Pine plantings will be contained to a few “statement” locations rather than general street tree plantings, with additional smaller tree plantings utilising other suitable species.

Any decision not to use Norfolk Island Pines should not be made at this time, but rather be considered following the production of detailed design layouts.

Given the possible changes to the streetscape arrangement at Normanville and the likely future undergounding of power lines it is recommended that no further infrastructure changes of street tree plantings be undertaken in Normanville until a detailed design has been produced and community consultation be undertaken.

These appeared to be encouraging words, however, according to the minutes of the meeting on September 15, 2011, it appears that there was no discussion of this agenda item, but merely an acknowledgement of the petition, and the mystifying

Send your letters to: Email: yankalillanews@normanville.biz Or Post to: Box 2110, Normanville SA 5204

words “Administration to provide a copy of Council’s decision to E Gordon-Mills and R Eisner” (item 6.1). Ruth and I received a copy of this minute item from Peter Fowler, but neither of us could understand what was being said. There was no indication of what the Council decision actually was!

I subsequently rang Peter to try and elucidate the meaning of the response, but at the end of a lengthy conversation was none the wiser. I could not understand how an agenda item could not have been discussed and the contents of the discussion recorded in the minutes. If there was no discussion, or the item was rescheduled for another meeting, then this should have been recorded in the minutes.

To me, it appears that due process of the business meetings of Council were not followed on this occasion. As well, we and all the people (over 200) who went to the bother of organising and signing our petition should have been treated with more respect.

At the very least we should have been provided with a clear response to our petition! An earlier separate petition of 150 signatories against the planting of Norfolk Island Pines had been rejected by Council at the August meeting, but in this case the submitting parties received a clear negative response. The two petitions bring the total number of signatories against the planting of Norfolk Island Pines to over 350, a significant expression from the community.

Following on from this saga, I have since discussed this issue with a concerned councillor, who rang me to express his agreement that Norfolk Island Pines are not suitable for the main street of Normanville.

He expressed his intention to revisit the issue with the Mayor, and to see that a proper study of suitable trees for the main street is undertaken. Unfortunately, due to the financial difficulties of the Council, it appears that we will have to wait for up to two years for anything to be done. What a sad indictment of the past fiscal policies of this Council!

those of the Yankalilla Council. Unfortunately his efforts were cut short and we have now lost his enthusiasm and vision.

We are rather stunned that what seems to be a handful of disgruntled men have been able to “depose” the Mayor, a councillor who gained the highest number of votes from the constituents in the last council elections. It reminds us of the old “wild west” movies we used to see, where the bullies “run out of town” anyone they disagree with. What has happened to democratic decision making, where the councillors genuinely represent the views of the constituents? Surely we, the voters, are the ones to remove any councillor, who we deem to not be representing our interests, at the next council elections?

The issue seems to raise several questions. For example, does the new mayor expect the same level of support and cooperation that Mr Newman had in his time as mayor? If he does, he will be in for a hard time! From reading about these events in recent editions of The Times, it would appear that some of the council members gave Mr Newman little support over a long period of time. Mr Spilsbury was quoted as saying that the replacement of Mr Newman was done with “the best interests of the district at heart” (The Times, 19/1/2012). Perhaps the interests of the district would have been better served by the council supporting Mr Newman and working cooperatively, rather than undermining him.

Then we read about complaints of behaviour and potential breaches of code of conduct during a recent Council meeting. (The Times 2/2/2012). Surely we haven’t elected councillors who don’t know how to behave in meetings or are unable to work effectively with others to achieve common goals. Small wonder that the current council is fractured and that Mr Newman felt that his only course was to resign.

We can only hope that the “new” council with Mr Schlein as mayor does work more collaboratively.

Apparently he has had a long held ambition to be mayor. We wouldn’t like to think that that divisions in the council during Mr Newman’s term as mayor came about as a result of “sour grapes” because Mr Schlein was overlooked as mayor after the last elections in 2010. Surely not!

Hopefully the “new” council can get its’ act together and work effectively for our community. As Mr Schlein pointed out in The Times (2/2/2012), there is plenty for the council to do, without being dragged down by conflict, division and inappropriate performance. The great pity is that a person of Mr Newman’s capabilities has been lost to council and is now unable to make the sort of contribution that this community could well do with.

L e t t e r s From: Victor Harbor Times YANKALILLA DISTRICT - Yankalilla council has rejected an independent investigation into breaches of its code of conduct, voting only to note the report and not to take action on its recommendations.

Councillor Janet Jones had laid two separate complaints about the behaviour of Cr Bruce Trigg at the November 17 council meeting.

They related to his tone in questioning a resident speaking on behalf of a community group at the public forum and to comments made about council staff during the meeting, indicating a lack of trust in them.

Chief executive Roger Sweetman referred the complaints to the Local Government Association (LGA) for investigation by its governance panel, in accordance with council's complaint handling policy.

Both the code of conduct and the complaint handling policy were adopted by council in October 2011.

The panel recommended its report should remain confidential, but council voted to release it publicly and it has been included with the minutes of the January 19 meeting.

After interviewing both councillors, then-mayor Paul Newman and chief executive Roger Sweetman, the

panel found Cr Trigg had breached section three of the code of conduct.

The report said there were elements of culture adversely affecting council relationships and the delineation of roles and responsibilities of elected members and staff.

"It is never good governance for elected members to become 'hands on', to engage in 'second guessing, or to change course mid-stream.

"The ability to engage in robust debate whilst maintaining a sense of collegiality, civility, courtesy, respect and common purpose for the council... requires that all elected members maintain and actively develop good working relationships with each other and with staff, particularly the CEO." The panel recommended this be addressed as an absolute priority and that professional development be provided to councillors to improve both governance and interpersonal relations.

In presenting the panel's report to the January 19 council meeting, Mr Sweetman suggested council schedule a special meeting to discuss and implement strategies to improve working relationships.

He recommended inviting several external attendees, such as a mayor of another council, a legal advisor and representatives of the LGA and state government office for local government.

Cr Trigg was present during the discussion and vote on the motion, as Mr Sweetman had indicated he had no conflict of interest, as defined under the Local Government Act. Another councillor, John Sanderson, absented himself from the meeting during the discussion, declaring he had a conflict of interest but not indicating what it was.

Cr Jim Pile's motion that the report be noted and appended to the minutes of the meeting was carried, despite a query from Cr Simon Rothwell as to why council bothered having investigations if it would not

even discuss the results, let alone take action.

Cr Jones flagged that she would put a motion on the matter to the next council meeting, as discussion had been shut down by the vote on Cr Pile's motion.

In a statement to The Times Mayor Malcolm Schlein said the majority of councillors believed the LGA process was flawed in that it did not interview the community member involved.

He said the process did not provide Cr Trigg with 'natural justice' and the comments concerning the council acting in a dysfunctional manner were unsubstantiated.

"The majority of councillors worked hard implementing 'good governance' and all had expressed surprise with the comment that relations with staff were poor.

"All councillors enjoy a good working relationship with senior staff and are always conscious of the need to ensure that correct protocol is followed when interacting with all staff."

A separate code of conduct complaint against another councillor has also been referred to the LGA panel; a report is expected to be made to the February council meeting.

Wirrina Sea Rescue Flotilla

T

he Wirrina Sea Rescue Flotilla has recently had a busy period of time with a range of sea rescue activities including a cliff rescue at Carrickalinga, an upturned catamaran, a reported missing recreational fishing boat from Rapid Bay which was located and towed back from Cape Jervis, and two kayaks, one from a rescue that the owner abandoned and was later found in the middle of the gulf in a north westerly direction from the reported incident at Wirrina. It is also pleasing to report that in all rescues/ tow ins that all personnel have been rescued safe and sound. In a recent addition we have reported in this article the trialling of an air dock at the marina, the air dock trial was part of a report established by a working party with two representatives from the Wirrina flotilla and two representatives from the Executive of Sea Rescue Adelaide. The report has provided an overview of the current

operations and infrastructure of the flotilla and has provided recommendations that are required for the Flotilla to move forward into the future. One such recommendation from the report was the purchase of the air dock and the leasing of a berth at the marina. The executive of Sea Rescue Adelaide have accepted the recommendations of the report in total and have approved the purchase of the air dock and the leasing of a berth at the marina. In the rescues that the flotilla has responded to since trialling of the air dock has taken place has seen the response time for sea rescue operations reduced by 45 minutes, and has eliminated the problems associated in busy times with vehicles parking around the perimeter of the boat shed.

Safe Boating and best wishes from the Wirrina Flotilla Executive.

About 300 BC a general anesthetic was developed.

But, its formula was kept secret and burned.

Alexander Fleming’s discovery of antibiotics has saved millions of lives and done many other wonderful things. But, what if Fleming, and Florey, kept it to themselves?

The horrid and debilitating disease of polio is now almost extinct – thanks to the vaccine developed by Jonas Salk.

When asked in a televised interview who owned the patent to the vaccine, Salk said: ‘There is no patent.

Could you patent the sun?’

Obligated What helps us may help others.

I’ve suffered from chronic sinuses which, among other things, create fatigue and make me cough a lot.

I’ve had surgery twice. The first time it helped but the doctor said I’d have to live with it. More recently I underwent another operation. But, it left me much the same.

Some friends said, ‘You need to get off gluten.’ I thought, ‘Surely not!’ How could I give up bread and jam?

They handed me a packet of their cornflakes and said, ‘Here, get started.’

After two days I felt a lot better – less fatigue – less coughs – why didn’t someone tell me before?

history. He was on a mission to destroy Christianity but was dramatically changed by it and became its greatest advocate - recorded in the book of Acts chapter 9 – one of the most exciting chapters in the Bible.

Paul was ever conscious of the hateful man he’d been, but ever more conscious of God’s love and grace and what Jesus had done for him. He wanted the world to know and set out on dangerous missionary journeys which saw him beaten and imprisoned and finally executed at Rome.

He once wrote, ‘I want to remind you of the good news I preached to you,…that Christ died for our sins …, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day …’ (1 Cor 1:1-3) It’s truly good news to know that God loved us to that extent – that Jesus died for us and rose again from death.

Paul said, ‘I am debtor to all.’ In prison and out he shared the good news of his risen Lord and Saviour ‘The Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.’

Christians have good news to share. It’s all about God’s love and the life changing experience of knowing Christ – and its extension beyond this life.

Hear the good news, believe it and share it.

There’s an amazing story in the Bible about sharing good news. The ancient city of Samaria was under siege. People were starving to death.

The besieging army kept out of sight. No one in the city dared to leave.

There were four sick lepers who’d got to a point of desperation. They said, ‘We’ve got nothing to lose – we’re heading out.’

They made their way to where the enemy had camped and, to their utter surprise, found the place deserted. The army had fled and left everything.

In the deserted tents they helped themselves to food and other things. It was great. But they stopped and said to one another, ‘We're not doing right. This is a day of good news and we’re keeping it to ourselves.’

Sharing good news The apostle Paul said, ‘Woe is me if I share not the good news.’

Paul experienced a life change – known as the Damascus Road experience. It was a turning point of

he February Meeting was well attended, enjoyable & informative. You always learn something new.

Once again speaker Co-ordinator Deane Tonkin had arranged an excellent guest speaker. This time it was the affable Rick Smith the marketing manager of Spirit Australia Cruises which is based in Goolwa. They operate a range of ecofriendly 4 to 6 hour tours to the Coorong. They also operate the Great Murray river run all year.

You can go as far as the Victorian border- or further if you wish.

This business was founded by the Veenstra Family. The Veenstra saga began when Miep & Keith arrived from Holland in 1950. Keith had served in the Dutch Navy and had messed around with boats most of his life before migration. They began a boat-building tradition that has continued on with his son Jock. Captain Keith Veenstra became known as the “father of the modern day riverboat”.

Together they built at least a dozen boats at Goolwa. The first vessel was the Murray Fiver Queen in 1973. Other boast included the Mundoo and the huge sternwheeler Murray Princess in 1986.

South Coast

Rick spoke about the tours available particularly those to the Coorong. These tours are not a passive experience as passengers go ashore for guided walks through the spectacular white sand dunes & see the wildlife & unique flora. They also search for water and visit a significant old aboriginal midden site.

The business suffered a downturn when water levels fell a few years ago. Fortunately with water returning to the river system business is booming again.

The club has number of activities planned for coming months including a movie/meal at the Victa Cinema, a banquet at Min Palace and a bowls day. We meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 10.00 am in the RSL Hall Normanville.

All active retirees will be warmly welcomed.

0434 921 845 Positive Community Energy for Normanville Foreshore and Jetty Caravan Park

T

here has been disquiet in Normanville and Yankalilla about the future of the Jetty Caravan Park. As reported in the VH Times a member of the community sought a judicial review of the decision of Yankalilla Council to lease the park for 21 years. This application has been withdrawn after Council failed to receive an acceptable tender and have resolved to run the park themselves while future plans were formed. A big issue for the community was the lack of consultation by Council, and concern, not only about the Caravan park, but the functioning of the foreshore area.

A small group of people got together and advertising through the Yankalilla news called two public meetings recently.

Forty people attended the meetings and the community members made a great deal of progress toward a common vision to be discussed with

the many organizations that have an influence over the area.

Three major points emerging from the meeting were: • The community has a positive vision of a pleasant and natural foreshore area with links to the linear park, which captures and promotes the history and natural beauty of the area and within which there is a family friendly simple caravan park • The natural potential of the area is underestimated.

Local knowledge can help make our area an all year proposition to increase local employment and spread the peak loads and boom bust cycle of beach oriented tourism..

• There is a need for a lead organisation to help tie all the ends together and coordinate a long term process.

The community want to be consulted

No Job Too Small

Guaranteed To Turn Up and have input into future directions.

Jerry Moller who facilitated the meeting said “ I was surprised and delighted at the attendance and overwhelmed by the depth of knowledge and strength of the ideas presented. I took on the job as facilitator with some trepidation as community feeling has been running pretty high. People from a wide range of the community attended and were full of ideas for the future. They had a very sophisticated view of the problems faced by Council and other agencies and wanted solutions far more than recriminations” The report of the consultation will be circulated to participants for comment and then presented to Council at its main February meeting.

Once the participants have had a chance to comment, the report will be

Friday 16th December 2011 8th round Eleven golfers played in the final round of the Summer Cup. It resulted in a count back with four players achieving 22 Stableford points.

The winner, Ray came out on top for the first time this season. Geoff, David W, and Brian ranked 2nd 3rd and 4th. Other good scores were David C 21, Val 19, Lorna 18, and David N 18 points.

David N 20pts took second place.

Third was Jan 18pts, in a three-way count back with Ray and David W, followed by Rob with 16 points. Jack enjoyed his round as he joined the rest of the fray playing for the Summer Cup. Friday 13th January 2012 10th round Geoff went out to tee off for his best game in the tenth round of this season’s competition with an Eagle on Eight by holing a twelve-inch putt for 5 points.

Another excellent score came in with

P

Rob on 22pts in second place. Third was Anita 20pts, and other good scores were posted by Chris, Ray and Brian 19pts, & Lorna 18pts. Jack proved to the day’s field of 14, that you could still improve your game no matter how long you have been playing golf.

Spider Bite Recovery Support Group

ello again readers, this is our 17th Birthday edition.

In my last update I was going into hospital to have my knee replaced WELL, I asked for an x-ray and it revealed it was not my knee so much but I had been living with 2 fractured bones in my lower leg and being made by the physio’s at the hospitals to walk on it. I am now wheel chair bound and do not know yet when they can be fixed.

So I will carry on regardless giving talks to groups, with the first lecture scheduled for next Tuesday evening. It never ceases to amaze me how after 17 years, giving lectures and showing people the devastating effects of the white tail spider bite. I am still finding people that have never heard of this spider. One person told me he picks them up and puts them out side, I asked what was he using to do this and he said a tissue! He claims he could not kill them. Then I heard from the parent of a new victim that went to a major hospital for help and was told there is nothing they can do!

Honestly running a support group is not easy and it doesn’t make you rich. The only thing that is good about it is I am helping those who want to listen to what this somewhat small spider can do and I have many testimonials that are in my second book. I have many good colleagues who assist me with up to date information on the spider world and they are at Uni SA, Uni Melbourne and Uni Qld. I only have to ask and they send me the latest info so I am sure that what I am saying is the latest.

The latest report from Uni Melbourne venom research unit, is questioning the use of anti Venom

Conversations with local groups and individuals have been encouraging, with great ideas suggested and some already committing to organising their own events.

PUBLIC MEETING - 2013 Leafy Sea Dragon Festival

T

Main Street Yankalilla

in regards to the Red Back Spider bite, after reports came in where victims have become quite ill after receiving it.

The question - Is it better to use a pain killer instead of Anti Venom in the case of a Red back bite? Tests are being carried with newer victims.

Results will be published when I get them.

Last evening we had the biggest wolf spider come indoors, he would have measured 2 ½ inches across - he was dispatched to heaven.

In my last update I spoke of the La Nina weather pattern that is reeking havoc interstate and how I believed it had not finished its run. Well sure enough its still causing big problems with floods and I feel for the poor people who have lost everything due to this. It is a strange phenomenon and I just wish that South Australia could get some of that water, without the devastation of course, we really need it.

Until next time please be careful and don’t become the next victim.

Sam Noack in State Basketball Team

am Noack from Yankalilla Area School has made the SA Country basketball under 18 National Team where he plays against the best country and metropolitan teams from each state of Australia and New Zealand.

In January 2012 Sam represented SA at Albury where he was selected for the National Country Team.

Between 14th and 21st April he will play in Perth against the best this country and New Zealand can pit against him.

Sam is the first local person in 21 years to make the State team; the last from this district to do so was

Tracy Beattie (nee Braithwaite).

When an Aussie Hoops Clinic sparked his interest in basketball, Sam began playing at Yankalilla. There he played local junior and senior basketball over the years as well as representing Yankalilla in Country Carnivals and SAPSSA events.

As he starred in that arena, a Southern Tigers District Club recruited him. Although eligible as an under 14 player, he started as an under 16. During 2010 Sam made his first trip to Melbourne to play in the National Championships representing Div 2 Southern Tigers.

As a result of his successful campaign there, his club gave him a three week opportunity to play in the Under 16 Div 1 team but after only two games he secured a full time position at that level.

With the beginning of the 2010- 2011 season in October 2010, Sam started as a first year under 18 div

New Zealand Fur Seals A Statewide Problem

ember for Finniss Michael Pengilly has been following the fur seal issue for some time now, including a parliamentary Natural Resource Committee report into the issue. Reductions in numbers of Little Penguins on Granite Island and on Kangaroo Island were clearly identified in the report. Lately other areas of the state have become increasingly anxious about the effects of the impact of rapidly increasing fur seal numbers and what they may be doing to fish stocks. This follows

concerns from Kangaroo Island fishermen.

Michael Pengilly says “A recent survey by the Department of Environment and Natural Resource officers on fur seal numbers around Kangaroo Island, estimated a population of over 40,000 principally New Zealand fur seals.

Professional and recreational fishermen on Eyre Peninsula have this week raised the potential impact of the animals and their growth in numbers on the marine environment in the west coast area including on rock lobster and tuna species.

What is becoming clear is that the department needs to take the matter seriously and consider a strategy for the future. Fish stocks are critical, and whilst the Government fools around with the marine parks and zoning debacle, fish life and particularly seals are no respecters of

Mad March - FREE Tai Chi Lessons for Beginners

F

eel like you need to do something to find that extra energy, relax and keep your body fit and supple, all at the same time?

Perhaps Tai Chi might be the answer?

Throughout the month of March, the Tai Chi School is offering free lessons to beginners. Classes are held at “The Centre” on Monday and Thursday mornings.

The practice of Tai Chi combines health and fitness with philosophy and spirituality. It invigorates the body, calms the mind and enlivens the spirit.

Participants report beneficial effects in relaxing, improved breathing, flexibility and balance – “a bundle of goodness”, says one. Exercise and

meditation “brings a feeling of peace” says another. The group experience often brings “a feeling of shared energy” as if “there is an energy field flowing through the class”.

Tai Chi combines exercise, social interaction and learning new things, which health professionals acknowledge are the 3 keys to a long and rewarding life.

If you are looking for an all round exercise that you will be able to do well into your old age, GIVE TAI CHI A GO THIS MARCH! Mondays and Thursdays 9.3010.30am. Why not bring your spouse, partner, or a friend and learn together?

boundaries on maps.

The Department and State Government must listen to the fishing sector for once, these people have hands on experience.”

Michael Pengilly has raised the matter within the Liberal Party structure at State Parliamentary level and is seeking to have further information developed in an effort to come up with a strategy before the seals potentially destroy valuable fishing stocks and livelihoods both recreational and professional; this is a state wide issue that demands state wide attention.

Large crowd at opening of BIRDS OF A FEATHER exhibition

A

n exhibition at Yankalilla Yarns and Fine Arts Studio /Gallery at the end of Glebe Road delighted the crowd of 120 people at its opening by local author, Lorraine McLoughlin on Sunday January 8th. Popular community artists Karen Hammat and Emanda Fretwell worked together to present a diversity of art in a range of media, encapsulating bird motifs in many of their paintings and textiles.

Parrots and lorikeets inspired Karen’s paintings of vibrant reds, blues and greens on canvas where she used paper, artist’s inks, acrylics and varnish.

Emanda’s intricately beaded bird sculptures reflected the shininess and texture of feathers.

Like birds, these artists use materials from all over, often hand dyeing silk and spinning their wool before knitting, crocheting and felting it too.

Many of the beautiful objects were also practical: no wonder there was a rush to purchase cards, hats, scarves, shoes, purses and jackets as well as exquisite jewellery, some made out of zips.

Paintings also sold well.

This is the second time these birds of a feather have worked collaboratively and the display of finery looked fantastic in the gallery’s nautilus spirals. This extraordinary eco-building is a magic place in itself and is open on the first Sunday of the month as part of the Fleurieu Art Trail.

Learn How To Protect Our Natural Environment

S

outh Australia’s respected environmental organisation Trees For Life offers people from all walks of life the opportunity to help restore and protect our State’s native vegetation.

Members of the public can gain hands-on experience through TFL’s Bush For Life program, initially by attending one of the bush regeneration workshops which are held throughout the greater metropolitan area each year.

At the workshop, participants will learn: • why the bush needs your help; • the best strategies for restoring ecological processes; • minimal disturbance techniques; • how to work safely in the bush; • how you can get involved as a Bush For Life volunteer Continuous learning opportunities are also provided through the program, ensuring participants discover the best techniques to get native plants regenerating and how to defeat invasive weeds. BFL also holds advanced workshops which cover topics such as native plant and grass identification, advanced bush management techniques, brush cutting and more.

Volunteers also choose how they want to be involved in the longer term. They can participate in small group activities every now and then, adopt a bushland site of their own or join our Bush Action Team.

If you want to find out more about getting hands -on experience through Bush For Life, phone the office on 8406 0500.

Being part of BFL just takes a small portion of your time, and passion – and the rewards are endless!

Aboriginal Artist Exhibits at Yankalilla

M

ax Mansell , a Tasmanian artist from the Oyster Bay area lives and paints in Yankalilla.

An exhibition of his works was held in “The Centre” Yankalilla on weekends in late January early February. Max is an acclaimed Australian and International artist having held a number of exhibitions and winning a prestigious NAIDOC Artist of the Year Award. His art has featured ion the covers of Qantas Club Magazine and Forest’s Grand Prix program.

Max displayed a range of his art which included both contemporary and traditional “dot” painting work. He was available at the exhibition and welcomed the opportunity to discuss aspects of his work with interested visitors.

Max Mansell is pictured standing with Mayor Malcolm Schlein in front of his colourful painting of the eyes.

All those people who missed the exhibition will have the chance to see his works over the Easter weekend.

Sketch Block - Yankalilla Art

T

he 2012 Art sessions had a flying start to the year with Trevor Bywater, Architect, demonstrating and talking about ‘Prespective’. It was amazing the enthusiasm excited by this fairly quiet subject. Trevor certainly brought this subject to life with his explanations, graphic illustrations and practical demonstrations. The principles of the perspective formulae shown could as easily be adapted to a painting of people walking along a beach and keeping everything in the proper proportion as to designing a mansion or skyscraper.

The subject and the presentation proved to have been fascinating and there were several requests for a follow up session at a later date. At least, Trevor’s information certainly answered one of long standing mistakes- the correct size of people in views along a beach or street- and he made it looks so simple. The two most valuable tools he had as an architect was a good pencil and a ruler. He provided us all with working notes and a ruler in order that we could try many of the exercises he had set up. It was great fun. In the afternoon the

members either worked on the exercises or on their own painting and applying some of the subject matter where ever applicable. Trevor, It was a most informative and happy session.

A good indicator, I hope of a fruitful and happy 2012 Art year.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask if there is anyone interested in becoming a ‘Friend of Gallery 88’ if so please contact Ingrid Jelfs 8293 2747 for information.

F

or its next author talk, the Books and Words Group is drawing on Dr Keryn Walshe who lives locally and is an archaeologist with the South Australian Museum.

Sometimes her commute is from Carrickalinga to the Science Centre on North Terrace in the city and also to the museum ‘outposts’ at Hindmarsh and Netley. Often she is away for weeks at a time on exotic locations in both rural and outback Australia.

Her recent research has had her in the bowels of the Old Adelaide Gaol where she has unearthed artefacts which suggest aspects of life there we might not expect, certainly haven’t thought about.

Not only a respected researcher in her field, Keryn also authors academic papers and has co-authored and edited many books including Roonka: fugitive traces and climatic mischief and Valleys of Stone: the archaeology and history of Adelaide’s Hills Face.

“This wealth of experience and writing is right on our doorstep,” said the event host Louise Allstrom, “and it is wonderful to tap into local expertise and celebrate what interesting people are residents here.”

“I am delighted that Keryn will give this BWG author talk at Hooked on Books on 22nd March. Expect to be surprised and entertained by this lively

speaker, and shown interesting artefacts as well.”

Everyone is welcome to this Books and Words Group event at Hooked on Books.

Entry of $5 includes bubbles and nibbles As there is now no AGM at this meeting, it will start at 7.00 pm, not at 6.30pm as previously advertised.

Police Report Drink driver – Yankalilla (Friday 06/01/2012) A 17 year provisional driver from Sellicks Beach has been reported for driving with the prescribed concentration of alcohol, aggravated driving without due car and breaching his provisional licence conditions after crashing his car through a fence on Main South Road, Yankalilla at about 2.50am on Friday morning.

Police will allege the youth was driving at a fast rate of speed east along Main South Road, Yankalilla when he lost control of his car whilst negotiating a left hand bend in the 60km/h zone and crashed through a fence.

He subsequently recorded a breathalyser reading of 0.086.

The youth’s driver’s licence was suspended on-the-spot for 6 months.

Sea Rescue – Carrickalinga (Saturday 07/01/2012) A pleasant afternoon’s sailing off Carrickalinga on Saturday afternoon turned ugly for the four man crew of a recently purchased catamaran when a strong gust of wind capsized their craft.

Despite their valiant efforts the crew, two fathers and their two young sons, were unable to get the sail out of the water and right their craft.

Fortunately the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club and the Wirrina Cove Sea Rescue Squadron were alerted and they went to the aid of the stricken craft and its crew.

The lifesavers returned the crew members safely to shore and the Sea Rescue Squadron recovered the capsized catamaran and towed it back to shore.

LOCK IT OR LOSE IT Reported crimes could have been considerably reduced if owners had removed keys and locked their cars and not left valuable items lying about unsecured and in open view.

To reduce these opportunist thefts police are again appealing to the public not to leave valuable items on view in unlocked vehicles, holiday homes or in and around caravan and camping sites.

The man and a friend had been climbing a goat track up the cliff face when he slipped, fell and became wedged between rocks. The friend ran home to raise the alarm. Police, including STAR Group officers, CFS, SES, MedSTAR and ambulance crews responded.

Due to powerful winds, it was deemed too dangerous to attempt a helicopter rescue and the man was winched by hand to safety.

He suffered serious injuries to his lower body and was taken to the Flinders

Medical Centre but his condition is not life-threatening.

Do you want to pay this fine?

Acting Sergeant Kris Horne of the Hills Fleurieu Highway Patrol would like to remind members of public it is an offence to allow an unregistered or unregistered and uninsured (registration expired more than 30 days) car to be parked on the side of the road or nature strip. He states that the side of the road or nature strip is a road related area and is considered, by law, to be part of the road.

In recent weeks in the Fleurieu region six ‘on the spot fines’ were issued for the offence of unregistered and uninsured car being parked on the side of the road/nature strip. In these instances each ‘on the spot’ fine carried a penalty of $1017.00 including the victims of crime levy. The fine for the vehicle being unregistered but still insured is $375 including the victims of crime levy.

Driving a car on the road is privilege not a right and the car and driver must meet the standards set by law.

Property damage - Mount Compass (Monday 23.01.2012) It was discovered that an unknown person had entered the grounds of the Mount Compass Area School overnight and deliberately caused damage to sprinklers and pipes.

Operation Poach Livestock is a valuable commodity which can make livestock theft a lucrative business, a business that costs Australia millions of dollars annually. In recent times livestock theft has escalated and SAPOL assists in both prevention and investigation.

The carnival Day started of at 7.30am with R&R, followed at 8.15am by the March Past, and the full carnival starting at 9.00am and finishing at 3.00pm. All the age groups enjoyed themselves and competed well, but

The Handyman

handyman, wanting to earn some extra money decided to hire himself out and started canvassing the neighbourhood.

He went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for him to do.

"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said. "How much will you charge me?"

The man quickly responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told him that the paint and everything he would need was in the garage.

The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does

the under 14's team excelled themselves in the sprints (4 of approximately 90 contestants), first heat Dylan Daws first, Chris Williams second, Conner Mellow third, Joseph Tyllis fourth. The guys were split up for the second heat, Dylan First and Chris third in one, and one of the others, Conner first and Joseph third. This meant that Normanville had all 4 in the finals, with Conner coming first, Dylan third, Joseph sixth and Chris pulled up injured.

Setting up a carnival requires a lot of volunteer support, especially the running of it, 82 officials and 54 Bronzies and SRC's providing water he realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?"

He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"

The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb handyman jokes."

A short time later, the handyman came to the door to collect his money.

"You finished already?" the husband asked.

"Yes," the man replied, "and I had paint leftover, so I gave it two coats - no extra charge."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it over.

"And by the way," the man added ... "it's not a Porch -- it's an Audi."

safety and first aid. Let alone the setting up of the competition arena's, tents, bunting, competition cans etc., and having food and beverages available for well over 2000 people.

Normanville SLSC would like to thank the following Business's and community organisations for their help through the carnival, Yankalilla District Council, Yankalilla Bakery, Yankalila Netball Club, Yankalilla Cricket Club, Yankalilla Rotary, Normanville Meat and Seafood and Normanville Chemplus.

Rapid Bay & Districts Cricket Club Signs Major Sponsors

he Rapid Bay & Districts Cricket Club is very pleased to announce the signing of two new major sponsors. Beginning this season and continuing through to the 2013/14 season Fleurieu Plumbing & Gas (Gold Sponsors) and Wayne Young Painting Services (Silver Sponsors) have stepped up to support the club with generous financial contributions.

As a result, the club has had new shirts made which all players proudly wear, and not only do they look great but they add to the feeling of a good cohesive cricket team.

Both these local businesses have employees representing the club, Jono Brown of Fleurieu Plumbing & Gas in the B Grade and Wayne Young in the 1 day team. The club would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank these businesses and encourage anyone in the district who may require their services to please support them.

The club held it’s 40th year celebration dinner at Wirrina Cove

Resort on Saturday 11th February.

The night was a great success with over 140 past players, officials and friends of the club attending. The grass roots culture of the club was clearly evident when it became known some folks had come from as far away as Kalgoorlie, W.A. to attend. There were several guest speakers recalling the early formative years of the club and some interesting anecdotes of the good times the club has seen in its 40 years.

A big thank you must go to the staff at Wirrina Cove Resort for putting on a great night, and special mention to the chef for the excellent food. Also appreciated is the many hours of hard work put in by Aaron Bennett and Kash Campbell chasing up the hundreds of people to include on the invite list, well done guys. And to Kash Campbell and Jo Bennett for a great job setting up the room and receiving the guests on the night.

On field the club is continuing a very

strong season. The 1 day side currently sits on top of the ladder and boasts numerous players in the top 10 batting and bowling averages/ aggregates for the association. These boys will be a force in the finals and if they apply themselves, should give the big one a real shake. All scores, match fixtures and individual stats on any team in the association are available at gsca.sa.cricket.com.au The B Grade side is currently second on the ladder and will also be there come finals time. The test for this side is to get settled, hold its form and concentrate on playing good cricket into the business end of the season

after a disappointing end to last season.

Thanks again to our Bronze Sponsors The Delamere Store and CRT/FP Ag Yankalilla, and also to sponsors in kind for this season Chris Nugent of Coastal Steel & Fabrication, and Ian Widdop of ecept Designs.

Please get out and support the club in the finals which begin on the 10th of March, all games start at 1pm.

There will be the regulation end of season dinner held at the club after the season is wrapped up, watch this space for details. We look forward to seeing you down the bay!

Yankalilla Historical Society

n the 1950s and 60s there were five Stock & Station Agents operating in Yankalilla, however over the years takeovers and amalgamation reduced the number to two.

In 1919 Bennett & Fisher Ltd bought a house and land at Yankalilla, the house becoming the Manager’s residence, its front room an office for trading. Later a merchandise shed was built. Stock sale yards were at Normanville, “Clio” Delamere, and Parawa. In 1960 the present offices and showrooms opened.

In 1978 Bennett & Fisher merged with Southern Farmers to become Bennetts Farmers. Five years later another merger took place with Dalgety & Co. Ltd., the firm trading as Dalgety Bennetts Farmers.

Amidst all these changes the business continued to be carried on from the original site.

In the latter half of the 1940s the first branch of the S.A. Farmers Co-op. Union Ltd opened in the old butcher’s shop at 62 Main Street, Yankalilla, previously owned by Joe Hunt.

The co-op’s manager, Keith Thompson, worked alone until Bob Walters joined the company as a junior in February 1949. In 1951-52 Len Briers became manager, followed by Bob Walters in 1955. In 1956 the branch moved to premises between Soldiers’ Memorial and the two-storey building opposite the State Bank and operated from there until the Elder Smith & Co. Ltd. Building was purchased by the S.A. Farmers Co-operative Union Ltd. in 1965. In the following year Bob Alnutt became the manager until 1973 when the company had a name change, becoming Southern Farmers. The managers between 1973 and the merger with Bennett & Fisher Ltd. with its subsequent transfer to the Bennett & Fisher premises in 1978 were Roger Thompson, John Coles, and Grae Wills.

In the late 1950s Dalgety Australia Ltd. approached Jim Brook, one of the proprietors of Yankalilla Motors, with the suggestion that he take on a Dalgety agency. Jim became the contact for local graziers and dairy farmers to book in their livestock for buyers at the Willinga branch. The company bought a home in the main street of Yankalilla, giving the

newly married stockman, Ray Smith, a local base, while the accounting was handled by the Willunga branch. Over the years there were several managers.

During the 1970s a property boom saw the expansion of Dalgety’s as they became part of the activity till the late 1970s when Dalgety sold the property and moved the operation back to Willunga.

Elder Smith commenced business in Yankalilla from small premises near Martin Motors in the 1920s with Stan Scrutton its first manager. Stock sales were conducted in yards owned by the Yankalilla Hotel on rising ground behind the hotel. Eventually new premises were built on the Main Street, at the junction of the Adelaide - Normanville - Victor Harbor roads. This building was used until 1964 when the company merged with Goldsborough Mort, the business then conducted from Goldsborough’s premises. Elder’s building was purchased by S. A. Farmers Co-op Union Ltd, which later became Southern Farmers, the building later becoming Dr. Gardiner’s surgery.

Until the early 1950s Goldsborough Mort & Co. Ltd’s agent was George James who operated from a small office in front of his residence next door to the Yankalilla Hotel. In 1934 Goldsborough had built sale yards at Normanville on the Sale yard Shopping Complex site. Later these yards were used by other firms, mainly to conduct off shears sales of sheep, and surplus cattle. In 1954/5 George James’ business and premises were taken over by Goldsborough’s and a sub-branch established under the control of the Victor Harbor branch who extended the premises. In 1964 the office building was upgraded to accommodate the staff of the merged companies, and Elders Goldsborough Mort (later known as Elders

Pastoral) operated from these premises till their closure. The building then became the Cottage Tearooms, no longer in business.

The Yankalilla Historical Society meets on the second Monday of the month in The Centre, Main South Road at 8pm, however because of a coming long weekend our March meeting will be on Tuesday 13th. This meeting will be our AGM. We would love to see some new members. Please contact Lexia Smith on 8558 2302.

Yankalilla Ladies Probus February 2012 Wednesday 1st: windy, sun and shadow, dry, cool (cardigans outside): went to the Historical society meeting at the library, Margaret doing an excellent job of chairing as always.

Near the end of the meeting Chester Shultz arrived unexpectedly, a historian who is researching/correcting indigenous place names.

A very informative session with him, helpful mutually, Margaret transferring a lot of our files on to his “stick”. I need to get on with my history projects - do a bit every day! Through mutual misunderstandings I had to walk all the way home. Didn’t think I’d make it at

one stage but rested on a boulder (a “front fence” in Hastings Street) and was able to see the distance after all.

That little misadventure showed us that I’m capable of long up-hill walks, so Mick rang the Flight Centre girl, arranging an appointment for Friday.

Had coffee and healthy cake at Jetty Store. Did my weigh-in to see 64kilos on the scale - I’ve lost one kilo! Great news! The first loss in such a long time. Cutting out chocolate, cream and most biscuits probably the cause of this little victory.

Thursday 2nd: sunny, windy, cardigan cool: Trevor giving his talk to the art group this morning Sondra was not up to a coffee after getting him off the premises. We went a little earlier, noticing that Maggie was closed, heading for Jetty Store relieved and at the same time reluctant to be going There again. We think we’re tiring of the coffee mornings. At Jetty store we ran into Lyn and Ross Trigg, exchanging our woes, Ross starting chemo soon, Lyn breezy as usual. She suffers from sciatica now and then, though hers sounds much more severe than my little bouts. Then to the supermarket, chemist, lottery, glad to be home, both of us a little out of sorts.

Sunday 5th: showers, windy, cardigan cool: 10mls starting at daybreak.

Coffee at Maggie’s yesterday and today, Bywaters and ourselves yesterday. Joined by Moffatts today, Geoff sporting two dressings on his

right cheek, Jan finding three questionable spots on his back for treatment as well. A lively discussion of the films G and J have seen recently; lucky them to live in town with just a short walk to the theatres.

Booked our New Zealand holiday on Friday, Mick pleased with the cost.

He’s so good at planning the extra must-see-to things such as whether to leave the car at the airport, or park it with one of the children. The Flight Centre girl, Jess, sent us our insurance paperwork, so it seems we are all ready for take-off. Have just emailed Judy, checking that March 14th is Ok with them. My writing seems to be on hold at the moment, but mustn’t let any more water under the bridge before I finish my historical piece.

Am learning lots from a book of interviews with authors such as Edna O’Brien, John Barthe and Raymond Carver on their approach to their work.

They spend lots++ of time on their individual pieces. Carver writes from life. Also read Philip Larkin’s account of the approach he uses. It doesn’t drip from the pens of any of them!

Have just found a mini book with two Edna O’Brien pieces in it! My reading preferences are changing, the stories and short pieces doing more for me than fiction does. Am reading a Michael Caine autobiography - mildly entertaining but with no depth.

Possibly an apt description of the man himself.

Monday 6th: cool, cardigan day, showers threatening: Judy has emailed me back. March 14th suits them, so we are set for a great get-together.

Sat up till nine-thirty last night watching Oz and India in a 50 overs match, neither side playing particularly well in a close match but haven’t yet caught up with the outcome. Had coffee with the Yank. Writers final get together at The Courthouse. Anna was resplendent in a red cocked hat, red shawl, the rest I don’t remember, Ena lucid, her memory very good as they

went through the closing of the books with the balance left in the account we had enough to cover our coffees Betty Brockbank so earnest, so dithery, Joan Arnold - I’d forgotten her jokeyness, Rose, wry always, and Fay, someone well known to me who‘s name I couldn‘t recall when I wrote this yesterday, nor her face, she was just a ghost-memory sitting in a chair another member, between Joan and Rose - but I’ve forgotten who it was!

Mick had his coffee with Bywaters then did the supermarket shopping which I finished up with him.

Tuesday 7th: yesterday’s weather recycled: finished my Probus piece in the afternoon, delighted to have got it done so quickly. Mick will vet it today then I’ll email it!! Watched a good doco. On three high schools, the crux being that the calibre of the teachers is vital to students’ ability to turn themselves around, study and excel. Having coffee with Richard he rejected the concept of private schools, declaring that every student should have the same degree of input. I disagreed gently, reminding him that the world, life, people will never be equal. Equal opportunity is, however, never a possibility. Some of us would have to change our family’s genetic code, back several generations.

Richard’s point that every teacher should have the highest training is a given. So many would fail to make the grade, but yes, the teacher’s need equal opportunity to come out with high skills. This talk took place at Jetty Store over coffee. Sent off Jack’s birthday parcel - a video game featuring cricket and two other games, and Hans Brinker. I had no idea it was written by a Dutch-American. Then to the library, coming out with two fictions by Edna O’Brien, and My Place by Sally Morgan, which I read years ago. Gee, when I see my fingers clumsily mis-hitting I see Auntie Theresa at the keyboard of her piano.
