Normanville Sailing Club

ur up-and-down sailing season has continued with strong winds on some Sundays and very light winds on others. But the second Sunday in March was ideal for sailing with a very good turn out of boats and lots of speedy sailing without the usual occasional spill. A great day was had by all but the chop came up toward the end and not only the sailors but Steve Rogers and Gavin Schubert ‘manning’ the Club rescue boat ended up a little wetter than usual. There was also much fun getting boats off the beach with a high tide and loose sandy conditions. The Club tractor was there, as usual, ferrying club boats and the occasional non-club member out of the sand.

Club Members had a good chat at the end with a few drinks and some lovely food cooked by Barbara Matthews, with her Mum Gretchen Keitel encouraging all to eat and enjoy.

It is good to see so many sailors and

Renovations supporters down the beach each weekend with tourists and their children looking at the boats, watching the rigging and de-rigging processes and asking questions. And, of course, locals regularly popping by to say hello and watch the action for a while. I think all agree that Sunday sailing adds a splash of colour and action to Normanville Beach and Yankalilla Bay and, as I have said many times before, it is such fun.

Our photo this month (thanks to Barbara again) is of part of the group of boats starting the second race of the day – perfect conditions!

We are on the Normanville Beach every Sunday afternoon until the 26th of April 2015 (weather permitting).

The club conducts races from 2pm every week with sailors arriving after midday and rigging their boats. We welcome the involvement of anyone who has an interest in sailing, wishes to learn how to sail or to provide support to the sailing activities.

Bike Day

n Tuesday 24th February 35 preschool children brought their bikes or scooters to kindy and with the help of five parents and four educators, the children all walked their bikes and scooters to the bike track at the Yankalilla Lions Park. A great time with minimal blood loss was had by all!!

The long line!!

he club held their AGM at our March meeting. The only change to our highly talented management team is that Tim McCumisky will be our new President. He and his wife are currently riding around India on motor bikes to prepare him for his new role.

Many find that March is the hardest month to get through. By mid March you start to get stressed when you realize that you haven’t even started on your new year’s resolutions to eat less, exercise more and be nice to your wife.

Thankfully April is here and the footy season has started and we can forget our resolutions.

Member Bill Bennett celebrated his 95th birthday on 4th March. It is amazing to think that he was born soon after the finish of WW1.

Congratulations Bill.

Our guest speaker was historian Margaret Morgan who gave an illustrated talk on the people and professions that helped to build Yankalilla and Normanville into townships in their early years.

Early settlers did not have access to institutions for the treatment of accidents and sickness. They did however have the services of visiting doctors most of the time. Most babies

were born at home and were attended by the local midwife under the doctor’s direction.

From 1850 to around 1870 however the increase in population was enough to support resident doctors. In 1867 Dr J. Stokes Miller was appointed surgeon to the friendly societies of the Yankalilla district.

For the early settlers one of the first needs was the provision of schools.

Initially there were only private schools that operated in private homes and other buildings In 1859 the first public school in the Yankalilla area was built on its present site.

Christ Church Yankalilla goes back to the early days of settlement. The foundation stone was laid in 1856. In 1860 Astley Cooper became the first resident clergyman. The ministry has continued for more than 150 years.

Margaret’s talk was well received by members.

She richly deserves her Citizen of the Year award.

We meet at 10am on the first Tuesday of the month at the RSL hall Normanville. Next meeting will be 7th April. You will be made welcome.

Contact Secretary Warren Johnston on 8558 3076 for information.

Editor’s Comments

ello Readers, Have you ever tried to run an essentially ‘internet based’ business without an internet connection? Sounds a bit difficult and now I know how difficult it actually is. Due to a Telstra fault I have had no home/office internet from the 15th March onwards. At the time of going to press (24th March) I still haven’t got one. Although I don’t use Telstra services as such, they are the wholesaler to my internet provider. Widespread service interruptions - I was told - and no technicians available to fix it - all too busy fixing ‘other’ faults.

After much stress - and if I had much hair I would have pulled it out - using internet connections on mobile phones and dongles which are all very limited I managed to get this to press. Surprisingly it was even ready for Easter. Hopefully I don’t have to wait for the NBN before I get re-connected! Ok, rant over for now.

April… Happy Easter everyone and the Festival Fleurieu is finally here too. It is a busy month in our local area so make sure you get out there and enjoy what’s on offer. I am particularly looking forwards to Wade Nixon’s jazz band playing at the Yankalilla Hotel during the Festival but there is plenty more to see, hear, taste and do. Read on!

Next month is Mothers’ Day and then we can head into winter. Send in your stuff early in case there is still internet connection problems to work around.

Festival fever comes to the Fleurieu- beware of dancing Sea Dragons!!

A

fter the bustle of mad March in Adelaide, Festival Fleurieu proves that, in rural South Australia at least, creativity doesn’t stand still.

A hard-working team of local residents has produced what promises to be the best festival yet with over 90 registered events in 50 venues in hamlets, along roads and in picturesque corners of the Yankalilla Council District.

With a majority of festival activity being free or very modestly priced, there's plenty to see and do. Check brightly coloured programs available around town, through the McLaren Vale region and in Adelaide, for events to book (some have sold out, others selling fast); go to website or check on Festival Fleurieu Face Book page for updates and inspiration!

It starts on Saturday 11th April when Governor Hieu Van Le officially opens the festival at noon, at Fiesta! in the town square of Normanville. The Governor will be joined on stage by our inaugural Patron, Peter Coombe, known and loved by generations of young people.

Room 204

Poets, painters, photographers, quilters and renowned chefs are presenting events as diverse as High Camp gourmet grazing at the Jetty Camp Kitchen, Ingallala Falls breakfast, My Passionate Philosophy and Inman Valley Presents.

For music lovers there's a cello recital, and for those with a penchant for toe-tapping, there's Fleurieu Fusion - hot jazz and groovin' moves at the Normanville Hotel; a bush dance; a Bollywood fashion extravaganza. And for lovers of the ukulele, Out of this World - Ukes in Space is a two-concert performance of classics from the likes of David Bowie and Pink Floyd.

For families there's a great kids’ program, and a Myponga Family Fun Day will ensure that no-one misses out. Workshops entice you to draw, paint, make. Stories will be told in an inflated Leafy Sea Dragon.

The exhibitions program includes an extensive Artists' Trail, the annual Easter Art Show, and an exhibition of the finalists in the inaugural $15,000 Fleurieu Four Seasons Prize for Landscape Photography.

Retrospective exhibition GEORGE TETLOW A Life in Art

I

n 1959 George Tetlow escaped the snows of Manchester to arrive in an Australian summer, finding his first work in the heat of Mt Isa‘s copper smelters. After a few months there, the new migrant went to work on the roads in Woomera; after 3½ years, at the age of 29, he changed direction and enrolled at The South Australian Art School in Adelaide. After graduating, he illustrated books for Rigby’s Publishing House and then became a drawing and illustration lecturer at the art school until retirement in 1990. Later he and his partner Erika lived in Normanville and established a fine arts gallery, Studio 13 which operated for twenty years.

The various stages of George’s art and life will feature in a retrospective exhibition at Jubilee Hall during the Festival Fleurieu (open 11am to 4pm from Sunday 12th to Saturday 18th April).

National Broadband Network rolling out in Yankalilla, Normanville and Carrickalinga

A

round 2800 premises in Yankalilla, Normanville and Carrickalinga are a step closer to getting access to the National Broadband Network, with construction on the fibre-to-the-premises network now underway.

Telstra has finalised remediation of infrastructure in the area, meaning that in coming weeks, NBN Co subcontractors will be in the streets, laying out fibre to connect premises.

This is an important milestone for the area, with greater certainty for homes and businesses as they prepare for superfast broadband services.

The message for Yankalilla, Normanville and Carrickalinga residents is clear – superfast broadband

is on its way.

Under the Coalition Government, NBN Co has more than doubled the reach of its fibre network, now passing close to 690,000 premises nationwide.

Total connections to the NBN’s various networks, including the fixed line and wireless networks and the interim satellite service now stand at 368,000. And late last year NBN Co released a national rollout plan indicating that by mid-2016 one in every three homes and businesses across Australia will be able to connect to the NBN or have construction underway in their neighbourhoods.

The release of the redesigned NBN construction plan is another example of the Australian Government getting on with delivering our promise to get the rollout back on track.

Since coming into Government, one of our chief priorities has been to get this rollout done sooner, cheaper for taxpayers and more affordably for consumers.

The NBN will update its online maps in coming months to inform residents when the network will be ready for service.

by Rox Rosey

I

n Part one it was outlined how we contacted our friends from so long ago from an article in the newspaper when reports were printed about the chaos and destruction in the 2014 bushfires in the Adelaide Hills.

After writing to our friends who were delighted to receive our letter, a meeting was organised to meet at Kersbrook where the fire had been such a threat to the land holders as well as residents living in that little township and surrounds.

I had the opportunity to take a bus tour to the worst hit areas with our local tour company so it worked out well.

We spent the morning touring through the areas and, although it still showed the horrid after effects, we could see how re-growth had rapidly begun to reinvigorate some of the vegetation.

The gum trees had all these clumps of green rising up their trunks however, the pine trees were not recovering well at all.

After touring the area we finally pulled up at the Kersbrook Tavern where our meeting was to take place, luckily the Tavern had been booked for our tour lunch.

Had just sat down and a bloke came up and asked my name.

From then on it was wonderful remembering all things we probably would have forgotten from those years so long ago and the best of all we had each brought photos to show how much we had all matured, or aged.

We shared laughter when I told them things that even they had never heard of.

The time of the “Tin kettling” – an event even we had never heard of until it happened to us.

This event is arranged by the neighbours in the area, some of whom we had never met, but they all got together and are told to be at such and such a place on a certain night,

(part 2)

don’t tell a soul and bring some food!

We only had a minimum of furniture and any extra seating was nonexistent, however undaunted they brought their own, and our kitchen was crowded! A wonderlful night and most enjoyable with more new friends made.

Then was the time that hubbie (due to go on duty one afternoon) thought he would rid our gutter from a hive of bees that had moved in.

That was catastrophic! Hubbie had no idea of what to do. His philosophy was that one said ‘shoo’ and they would move somewhere else. Not true!

Apart from bees stinging him, he could not button his shirt up at all around his neck, so could not start his shift for the afternoon.

We had no ‘phone so could not contact anyone to advise but, the Police Department re-acted to his non -attendance by sending a motor cycle officer to come and check.

The party lines must have run hot all along the Forest Road with this officer observed riding towards our house.

This officer was quite pleased to stay and have a cuppa with us, take two rabbits home for his meal and report back to Headquarters with news of the hapless country policeman!

There were so many more memories to share, especially when one considers that the people we were meeting were children at the time and it was all news for them.

From the above we have re-newed friendships, and now regularly correspond, all from a photo and report in the daily newspaper.

Just a post script – our friends lost about 150 or so acres in the fire, their house was saved as was our little cottage on Forest Road. They are very busy now re-building fences etc, hopefully it will be a long time before this all happens again in the bushfire season!

efore leaving for the Middle East my wife and I were looking for accommodation around the shores of the famous Sea of Galilee. Amongst dozens of places was one, the Arbel Guest House run by the Shavit Family. Arbel sounded familiar to me. Having for decades read the Bible Old Testament once each year, Arbel resonated with me and so I reached for the Bible Dictionary and there it was mentioned only once as Beth-Arbel in the Book of the Prophet Hosea at chapter 10 and verse 14. It wasn’t forecasting pleasantries either but an incident in war time between ancient Assyria and Israel. It reads as follows: “….. all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children” It was quite a tragic time for Israel around 720 BC and is also recorded in 2 Kings 17. It wasn’t until we travelled to Arbel by hire car that we realised what was meant by the horrific statement ‘the mother was dashed to pieces upon her children’. We drove around the shores to this western side of the Lake and when we arrived we saw that the location was near a cliff wall some 180 metres in height. We saw a sign indicating we could park and if we entered the valley on foot we could eventually follow an upward snaking pathway to stairways cut in the cliff face and eventually reach some of the many caves carved by nature very high up the otherwise inaccessible rock face. The cliffs were rugged and aged and looked very much like the towering walls of a fortress. Greatly panting up the snake path and not very good either with heights we came to a conclusion at the same time that maybe it wasn’t wise to continue.

We were not teenagers anymore, those days had gone half a century ago so back to the car and we drove I guess 10k’s to skirt the mountain and drive up onto its plateau and walk then to the ridge to get a view from there. We were gob smacked at the view of the whole of Galilee for from Mandala (where Mary Magdalene came from) directly below; we could see to Capernaum where Jesus stayed, to the ruins of ancient Bethsaida on the north side and right around the top of the Sea to ‘the other side’. This was mentioned so often, as Jesus would take the boat manned by his fisherman disciples to ‘the other side’ to get a moments rest with them. We tried to picture the scene with 100’s of people like scattered sheep scurrying around the north shore to get to ‘the other side’ before his boat landed. He always took pity on them as they no doubt dragged behind them on biers their sick folk to be healed and the record says that he had compassion on them seeing them as sheep without a shepherd and although exhausted himself he never failed to attend to their needs.

But getting back to Arbel and the Bible reference. We stood looking over the cliff edge and realized that the cruel Assyrian soldiers abseiled down from this spot reaching the caves where the men of Israel had hidden food along with their wives and children while they battled the enemy only to see their children hurled from these caves and finally their ‘mothers dashed to pieces upon their children’.

700 years later the same thing was enacted from these caves according to the Jewish Historian Josephus when he described an uprising against Herod who had control of Palestine at the time of Christ.

As we stood on the Cliffs of Arbel these thoughts brought my wife and I a moment of sober reflection on the prophetic warnings of God. Had the people of northern Israel heeded the prophetic warning they would never had sought their safety on the fortress cliffs of Arbel.

An ominously dark rain cloud at that moment began to blot out the sunlight that had coloured the cliffs with a hint of rust and orange and it being winter we quickly headed for the car and by the time we reached it the heavens opened. With headlights on we found our way home to ‘the other side’ to the Golan heights bordering troubled Syria where we were to stay another night.

Yankalilla Art H

i folks, Yankalilla Art are back... my apologies for missing last month’s write up.

February was the first of our 2015 art sessions and we had an excellent ‘turn out’ for Betty Mahoney, which was most encouraging. Betty paints in oils and uses a knife to place her paint on canvas instead of a brush. This can be quite tricky at times if one has ever tried it. Her subject was a photograph of a river scene with boats. Betty blends all her colours on her pallet before using different parts of her knife to pin point specific sections of her work or spread and blend the paint on her canvas. It was very interesting to see how the completed painting emerged from a simple, basic under-painting. Many questions were asked and answered during the session. It was, both informative and enjoyable. I, believe it or not, actually managed to finish my painting during the session.

In March we welcomed Pastelist, Heather Lauterbach. Several members had previously asked for a Portraiture session, Heather agreed and she certainly delivered the goods. Normally she works from photographs but in this session she had a live model. Heather explained as she worked that she used chalk lightly to determine the shape of her face then looked for the dark areas of the face to get a general balance. She then lightly portions out where eyes, nose and mouth were in relationship to each other. Heather concentrated on the eye section before moving on to other plains of the face. After the basic work, she liked to see the pleasant balance between light and shade and chose her pastels accordingly, bearing in mind the age of the model.

Heather also selects her background colours to compliment the skin and hair tones of the sitter.

Once again we had an excellent attendance and the session proved to be intriguing, challenging and most enjoyable.

Damaged Trees

Lerp insects rarely cause the death of trees although defoliation may be severe and there may be some dieback. In some cases other insects move in to attack the weakened tree and the tree subsequently dies.

The outbreaks of lerp insects can often last for 2-3 years with several cycles of defoliation and recovery. A feature of these outbreaks is the unacceptable brown appearance of the trees, often over large areas.

There are several theories as to the cause of outbreaks of lerp insects. One suggests that outbreaks are associated with weather induced stress in the tree – usually rainfall (either too much or too little) – which results in changes in the quality of food the insects to eat. For example, in times of drought or flooding there is an increase in available nitrogen in the leaves and this in turn means better survival of young insects.

Other theories suggest outbreaks occur when certain conditions combine to provide an environment that is just right for the insect to rapidly increase in numbers. These conditions include ineffective natural control and the abundance of leaves of the right age and quality for maximum growth and survival of the insect. Such conditions often apply in the season following that in which the trees were stressed. Persistent outbreaks often occur in low lying areas where both young and old trees are present.

Natural control is usually the most effective.

Predators include birds such as honeyeaters, pardalotes, parrots, silvereyes, sparrows and willywagtails; other insects including hoverflies, ladybird beetles and lacewings; spiders, mites and lizards. Parasites can reduce Lerp population numbers by 50 – 100% these include tiny, black Encyrtid and Eulophid wasps.

Information from Primary Industries and Resources SA fact sheet by Charima Phillips, Principal Forest Health Scientist.

E

H

ave you ever wondered why a lot of the trees around the area look as though the leaves have died and the trees look very unhealthy!

One of the reasons is Lerp. Lerp insects are psyllids and like other psyllids they are sap suckers. These insects are mostly rare and inconspicuous, but occasionally they may suddenly increase in numbers and then just as suddenly disappear. The Lerp insects (Cardiaspina densitexta) are responsible for periodic damage to Pink Gums particularly along roadsides and Lerp (Cardiaspina albitextura) are common on River Red Gums. The damage is very noticeable as large numbers of trees turn brown and appear dead.

Recycling

ven if you were part of the generation of Australians who had ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ drilled into you during the last decade – recycling can be hard to do. It’s not always clear what can and can’t be recycled in your local council area But what about recycling beyond your yellow bin?

Here are the best tips for recycling all that you can.

1: ‘Green’ polypropylene bags, and plastic packaging that you can’t recycle at home, such as biscuit packets, bread bags, rice and pasta bags, can all be recycled in the dedicated bins at both Coles and most Woolworths supermarkets. They might even be remade into things like garden benches for schools.

Can also be deposited at the Normanville Natural Resource Centre.

2: Mobile phones (but not cables) can be left at Sony Centres and Leading Edge Computers. Here, mobile phones are

Yankalilla Regional News - April 2015 - Page 28

recycled and the money raised will be used to build specialised youth cancer centres for 15 to 30 year old cancer sufferers through the charity. Can also be deposited at the Normanville Natural Resource Centre.

3: Domestic batteries can be disposed of sustainably in bins at most ALDI stores.

Can also be deposited at the Normanville Natural Resource Centre.

4: Used stamps are accepted as donations by many organisations – for example, Guide Dogs Australia. You can find a full list of organisations who collect used stamps at the Give Now website.

5: Used prescription glasses and sunglasses can be donated to OPSM or Personal Eyes, who will pass them on to someone who can’t afford glasses in a developing country.

6: Unused mini shampoos, soaps and lotions from hotels can be given to your local homeless shelter or women’s refuge.

7: Corks from wine or champagne bottles can be deposited at the Normanville Natural Resource Centre.

8: Used bras and swimwear can be donated to Project Uplift, which sends them on to women for whom bras are unobtainable or unaffordable.

9: Wire clothes hangers can be returned to dry cleaning shops.

10: Joggers that are not too worn can be given to Soles for Souls who will donate them to orphanages or use them to help fund microfinance projects in developing countries.

11: Used plastic children’s toys in good condition can be recycled with Second Chance Toys.

12: Empty toothpaste tubes, brushes, floss containers, some coffee capsules can be recycled with Terracycle. Just remember to check in and arrange it with them first.

13. Printer cartridges can be recycled at Officeworks, JB HiFi, Australia Post, Harvey Norman, Dick Smith. Can also be deposited at the Normanville Natural Resource Centre.

Weed Of The Month Caustic Weed (Chamaesyce or Euphorbia drummondii) (Photos: E. Cousins; growth habit, close up of leaf, tap root)

W

e recently found caustic weed on our lower site at Cape Jervis. If you have found it in your garden, you will know it is a persistent little sucker. It is an annual or short-lived perennial herb with a deep taproot. Smooth, thin red stems fan out from the centre and hug the ground; these stems can grow up to 20cm long, and can exude a corrosive, milky sap when damaged. The ovalshaped leaves are blue-green with a reddish-purple

blotch. They grow in pairs with very short stalks, opposite each other along the stems. The tiny flowers have no petals; they grow in small groups that are composed of one female flower surrounded by several male flowers; even so, the entire flower head is fairly inconspicuous. Seeds can germinate at any time, with the biggest flush in spring; then the plants grow quickly over summer.

and territories harbour an estimated diversity of some 8,500 species in 850 genera and 79 families; however, only about 3,500 species in about 650 genera are currently described.

and Caleb, who several years ago, while they were still very young, moved with me from England to South Australia with the prospect of finding a home and building a future.

Since arriving we have resided in the Fleurieu neighbourhood and have grown to love it. Currently I live a short distance from here in Moana, just a short walk from the beach, where you will find me most days walking my dog, Rudi, and enjoying the sunshine (Something that was hard to find in cloudy old England!). I enjoy music, all kinds of music. It’s hard to pick a favourite but if I was pushed I would probably say Annie Lennox, I just love her new album Nostalgia; when she sings those old classics, I feel like I’m part of an era where old time values reigned and people truly cared for one another.

I have been invited to join Southern Fleurieu Family Practice because I possess a special skill set that will assist in the health and wellbeing of you and your families. I love people and I’m sure you will find me to be very approachable and considerate.

So please make sure, if you see me in the clinic or around town, that you say hello, as I am looking forward to meeting you.

ADFAS lecturers are mostly from the UK and Australia and are experts in their field; often curators of galleries or professionals who have written widely in their subjects. Whilst the program for 2015 has already commenced with Paul Atterbury’s highly successful lecture “Behind the scenes at the Antiques Roadshow” held on 23rd March, we urge you to join us and come along to the next 3 lectures.

ichard will talk to us about “what inspired a stylish wealthy couple from Adelaide to create a house, garden and collection of the most unusual composition in the conservative world of 1930’s Australia. Having built their home in the style of an English manor house Ursula and Edward ‘Bill’ Hayward surrounded themselves with artists, writers, musicians and eccentrics.

Carrick Hill in its heyday saw wonderful parties and as Nora Heysen, a close friend of Ursula’s remarked: ‘It was like living in a Noel Coward play!’ The story of Carrick Hill will take the form of a journey from the Battle of Waterloo and Marquis of Anglsey’s country seat in Staffordshire to Cookham, a Thameside village in Berkshire and the Carrick Hills in Ayrshire in the foothills of Adelaide. The illustrated talk will reveal how the Hayward’s lived, their interests and achievements an why they bequeathed their wonderful art collection, home and a hundred acres of garden and grounds to the people of South Australia in 1986. Sounds fascinating and not to be missed.

Walk For Wheels and Songbirds Of The South Concert

T

On Sunday the 3rd MAY at 10am – a local not for profit disability and development organisation is hosting a fund raising walk and concert ‘songbirds of the south’.

he walk begins at the Aldinga Arts Eco Village, 173 Port Road Aldinga. Participants may choose a 4.5km or 7km walk from the Village, along the beautiful Port Willunga Beach and returning to the Aldinga Arts Eco Village where food and drink will be available. At 1pm the Concert “Songbirds of the South” will feature a fabulous line up of female singers from the Fleurieu Peninsula including Kylie Kain, Sisters of Abundance, Tush, Clockwork Orange and Cat Dog Bird. The concert will be held at the Aldinga Arts Eco Village amphitheatre. Kylie Kain has spent most of her musical career writing songs with the fragile members of Adelaide; in detox centres and homeless

outreaches; with indigenous and new Australians whilst Sisters of Abundance are a lively choir specialising in four part harmonies of modern and popular classics. 'TUSH' offer an exciting variety of music that weaves from 60's to modern. Cat Dog Bird’s music is a polished combination of hooky melodies, catchy rhythms and lyrics which wind around their unique mix of lyrical pop, folk and rock.

The Community event is to raise awareness and funds in support of millions of people in developing countries unable to access an appropriate wheelchair. All money raised from the walk and concert will support Motivation Australia – who work in partnership with local organisations in developing countries to increase opportunities for people with disabilities.

Motivation Australia CEO Kylie Mines notes: “65 million people in the World need a wheelchair and 80% of these people live in developing countries where accessing a wheelchair is almost impossible”. The World Health Organisation recently published the first World Report on Disability – where the desperate need for all forms of assistive devices globally was highlighted.

Motivation Australia works in the Asia Pacific region and has two special projects in Tigray, Ethiopia. Their mission is to improve the quality of life of people with mobility disabilities. A major focus of Motivation Australia’s work is establishing sustainable wheelchair services including introducing good quality wheelchairs that suit the

often difficult terrain; and providing training for local personnel.

Motivation Australia believe that mobility is a human right and enables people to be included in their community. The organisation invites young and old to come and Walk for Wheels and attend the Concert Songbirds of the South and help raise much needed funds for Motivation Australia.

Tickets available through iwannaticket.com.au ‘Walk for Wheels + Songbirds’. Set up a fund raising page on MyCause or download a sponsorship form: www.motivation.org.au

Green Army makes a difference in the Goolwa to Wellington Local Action Planning area

A

group of 17-24 year olds have been restoring the local environment in the Goolwa to Wellington Local Action Planning (GWLAP) area as part of the Australian Government’s Green Army Programme.

The Green Army participants from the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula are seeing the results of their hard work come to fruition after completing their 22 week on-ground project.

Their efforts were acknowledged at a graduation ceremony at the Natural Resources Centre in Strathalbyn in March, hosted by Workskil and the

Goolwa to Wellington Local Action Planning Association Inc. During the past six months, the Green Army participants have not only generated real environment and conservation benefits for the local community, but they have gained valuable practical training and experience to help them prepare for the workforce, pursue further training or improve their career opportunities.

Environmental activities undertaken include: • propagating and planting native seedlings • weed control • revegetation • erosion control • coastal management works • ecological mapping • flora and fauna surveys As the Australian Government’s Green Army grows, so too, do the opportunities for young people around Australia to get involved.

“I encourage those interested in helping their environment and gaining new skills and training to seek out Green Army opportunities in their region” said Hon. Jamie Briggs MP, Federal Member for Mayo and Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development.

Further opportunities to join a Green Army project can be found online at www.environment.gov.au/ green-army The Green Army is a key Government commitment with $525 million budgeted over four years.

The Programme encourages practical, hands on action to support local environment and conservation projects across Australia, providing training to 15,000 young Australians by 2018.

Response To Letter From Arnie Locker

was disappointed to read the letter from Arnie Locker in the March edition of the Yankalilla Regional News.

A man (presumably Mr Locker) asked to set up a table account but then reacted to being asked for a credit card or other security. This is a standard business practice in our industry.

Our simple explanation of the policy did not satisfy him and he made it clear he would not stay. He did not agree to pay at the time of ordering or offer to leave cash as security.

Our staff were polite and friendly in their dealings with the man at all times.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our full support for the staff at the Normanville Hotel.

The hotel has a long-standing reputation for friendly customer service. Our dedicated, courteous & friendly staff are great ambassadors for our business and the local area.

Better Choices Re Unfriendly Attitude of Normanville Hotel Staff, March 2015. rnie you are right. Normanville is a wonderful place and how unfortunate for you and your family that your venue choice was the wrong choice. Your observations may not be surprising to some in the local community who have had bans imposed upon them, some for raising issue about the service and the lack thereof to which staff responded with attitude which indicates they lack skills in dealing with situations resulting in bans being imposed. Hence even though bans may have expired, some of these patrons no longer patronize the Hotel or the Beach Café.

However, the manager is also right. There are several other places to dine. These alternative places are great. The staff understands quality customer service. They bend over backwards to

Mystery Solved

I

have often wondered why it is in such a small community I have heard of so many negative comments about the Normanville Hotel as well as people being banned. Surely in such a positive, friendly community so many people cannot be wrong in their opinions, and, people behave so poorly to warrant being banned in what appears to be a not so busy hotel. Has Mr Locker (unfriendly attitude of Normanville Hotel staff, YRN March 2015) solved the mystery?

our readers may be interested to learn some background about an South Australian legend and his wife, now committed locals.

I have on old friend, one Ron Tremaine, who at 70+, with his very hardworking wife, Katharina, is trying to wind down activities at Lillas, their Yankalilla café.

Popular demand is causing a delay in their plans for a peaceful retirement.

Ronny and I went to school together, beginning grade 1 in 1945 at Payneham, then completing our secondary education at Norwood High School.

Although our career paths diverged from that time, we have maintained a very friendly relationship since, albeit at an intermittent (geographical) distance.

“RT” has run many enterprises and establishments, for example, just to name several, outdoor activities of the first SA Festival of Arts, The Lion Hotel, The Redlegs Club, and the prestigious Ayers House.

My family and I often frequented these places, always enjoying wonderful and friendly service.

When recently I discovered that Ronny and his wife were still in business, a table for 6 was booked for the coming Saturday.

Seafood and steak were pre-ordered, and in the event, were right up to the standard experienced at Ayers House many years ago!

We were then treated to a large (very) crystal bowl with 6 servings of gourmet ice creams with 6 spoons.

There was no waste of extra dishes, and, to Katharina’s surprise, no waste of the food either.

Liqueur coffees rounded off the fantastic midday meal and afternoon before we returned to Adelaide via the freeway in just over an hour.

My friends and I decided that the drive was well worth it, and will return to Lillas while the management status quo remains.

We love the quirky milieu, the wonderful food, the poor jokes, and the nostalgia that the longstanding friendship engenders.

B

efore any churches could be built in this district services were held in homes, or in the open, sometimes from the back of a bullock dray. For baptisms and marriages early settlers travelled over relatively long distances. In 1851 a Yankalilla settler and his family had to ride to Willunga on a bullock dray to have their infant baptised.

The churches, and to a lesser extent the schools, were centres of social activities and of fellowship, the latter promoting neighbourly assistance in times of need. Because travel was limited to walking or via a horsedrawn vehicle, early churches served relatively small areas.

In 1850 Robert Norman built the first Anglican church in the district - St. James, at Normanville where Mr. C.W. Scott, postmaster and clerk of the local court, took the services. The church was also used by the Primitive Methodists.

In 1854 the Methodist church opened the Bible Christian Church at Dairy Flat, the district to be known later as Torrens Vale. Henry Field, chairman of the committee promoting the erection of the church, had been promoting its erection from as early as 1851, pointing out that with the majority of settlers in the district being in “straitened circumstances” their ability to support a clergyman financially would be limited. In 1854 the congregation met in a whitewashed thatched cottage which was used both as a place of worship and a school. The William Nosworthy family were staunch supporters of the church over several generations.

William, a Bible Christian Local Preacher, would have been a heavensent asset. Eventually, a permanent building replaced the earlier whitewashed chapel.

In that same year the Wesleyan church, built by Nelson Leak west of the Yankalilla showgrounds, was opened. Robert Kelly, a prominent lay preacher in the Wesleyan ministry, was a trustee. An early baptism was that of Henry, son of Robert and Emiline Wenham, on 19th April, 1857.

In 1855 the Harcourt Wesleyan Church, named after the Superintendent Minister of Willunga, was opened as a result of subscriptions collected by Robert Kelly. Over the next sixteen years or so the Harcourt church at Dairy Flat was the head church of the Wesleyan Circuit.

In the following year the Bald Hills Congregational Church was opened.

The Rev. Newland, who also administered The Tabernacle at Encounter Bay, conducted a monthly service, the other Sundays shared among lay preachers.

In 1851 George B. Wilkinson collected funds for an Anglican Church in Yankalilla. Christ Church was built on a site obtained from Thomas Roads and opened by Augustus Short, the first Bishop of Adelaide, on 9th July, 1857. No resident minister being appointed, lay readers conducted the regular Sunday services. In 1860 the Rev. Ashley Cooper became the first resident minister and in his time St. Paul’s, Hay Flat, was built on top of the range between Hay Flat and Dairy Flat, the Howard family instrumental in its building. After Rev. Morse came to Christ Church it was resolved that a church be built at Glenburn, now Delamere. The names of many of those involved in the establishment of St. James at Delamere are equally well known today. Among them was Mr. Gerrard of Yoho Station who helped largely with funds and who left a legacy which brings in an annual return to this day.

In 1857 the Finniss Vale Wesleyan Church was opened. It had a large congregation, with 120 children in the Sunday School. In that same year the Catholic Church of St. Peter’s was built at Normanville by the Irish settlers of Yankalilla, Normanville, Second Valley and Rapid Bay, on a site donated by Patrick O’Connor.

The builder was Mr. Cook. John Clarke, a big land-holder in the Wattle Flat area gave stone and other materials, and lent his bullock wagon for the cartage.

In 1858 a Presbyterian Church capable of seating one hundred and twenty people was built in Yankalilla almost opposite Christ Church. The Reverend John Sinclair became resident minister, serving the Presbyterian communities in the district.

In that same year the Wesleyan church at Glenburn was built, on land given by Joel Cole. In 1877 the name Glenburn was changed to Delamere to avoid confusion with a settlement in the south east which had a similar name. The church is still used today as the Delamere Uniting Church.

Two places of worship, built in the Bald Hills area in 1859, were a mere two hundred yards apart. The Bible Christian Chapel was demolished

0427 590 000 after ten or eleven years. The stones and other useful materials were carted to Inman Valley and used in the present Uniting Church, opened in 1871, when a Miss. Thorn preached to an overflowing congregation. When a violent thunderstorm occurred it was attributed by some to be the Judgement of God for those in charge having engaged a woman preacher.

Under the leadership of Robert Kelly the Wesleyans erected a church on Corn Hill, Bald Hills. In the Gothic style, the stone building had brick arches and quoins. The church’s young minister, Rev. H. T. Burgess, delivered what has been described as “sledge-hammer” sermons which resulted in many conversions. During his ministry the Hay Flat Wesleyan Church was built at Springbank near the junction of the Hay Flat and Tonto/Dairy Flat roads. Opened in 1859 it was in use for twenty-two years.

The history of this district’s churches will be continued in the next issue of “Yankalilla News”.

As in all wars and emergency situations the Red Cross is always in attendance so we hope you saw our display showing the many places and times the members of Red Cross give freely and selflessly to help. The photos show some of our models with the sort of clothes the Red Cross ladies had to wear even in very hot climates travelling all over the world answering the call for help.

Our next meeting will be May 4th with a Tupperware display and lunch at 11am please could all members bring a plate.
