Little progress on abandoned wave generator

he 3,000 tonne Oceanlinx Wave Energy Generator which was abandoned about 1.4 kilometres off the coast of Carrickalinga in March 2014 has been a continual cause for concern and frustration for the Carrickalinga Residents Association (CRA) and Yankalilla Council.

After five years of talk and inaction, the State Government announced recently it was going to finally tackle this eyesore of epic proportions.

Bill Chapman, Kim Baker and others on the CRA Committee have been placing pressure on the government and recently, once again wrote to David Speirs, Minister for Environment & Water and Stephan Knoll Minister for Infrastructure asking them why the government and DPTI would not remove the structure completely rather than partially dismantle it to be just one metre below the water surface.

“Our letters, whilst acknowledged and replied to, only supplied us with a facsimile of what has appeared in the media,” said Kim Baker, President of the Carrickalinga Ratepayers Association.

“There is no other long-term outcome from the government, therefore, we

take it, the Carrickalinga Wave Energy Generator is a job the government never expects to complete.”

Dismantling the structure to just one metre below the water surface is a strategy fraught with danger and creates the need to place permanent navigational beacons around a 100 metre exclusion zone (200metre diameter), making this a future legal liability with ongoing costs.

Previously, it was announced anyone caught in the restricted area would be fined 1,250.

The CRA have categorised it as a ‘job half done’ and in the interests of public safety and future liability, the CRA will continue to pressure the government to reconsider these decisions and implement a commonsense, permanent solution.

Such was the case recently when David Speirs announced three new artificial reefs along the coast line.

The CRA wrote to David and argued, why create 3 new ones when the one at Carrickalinga will go unfinished.

The CRA are still awaiting a formal response.

Late last year, the CRA aired its views with articles in The Advertiser,

Yankalilla Regional News - April 2020 - Page 2

on Adelaide Now and in an interview with Sonya Feldoff on ABCFM. The CRA are continuing to keep the media fully informed of the their views on the matter.

Bill Chapman from the CRA contacted Leon Bignell who in turn contacted the navy to see whether they would remove it as a ‘training exercise’ but the Chief of Australian Navy, Michael Noonan has ‘sunk’ that idea saying it does not qualify and lies beyond the support normally provided by the Navy.

One more humorous suggestion from a ratepayer has been to turn the Wave Energy Generator into a seal café similar to the one in Port Phillip Bay. Letters were sent again late in February to Stephan Knoll, David Speirs and Leon Bignell advising them of CRA recent meeting and asking for responses, which haven’t been provided. A follow up was sent to Premier Steven Marshall at the end of February.

The CRA’s endeavour is to continue the push to see the Wave Energy Generator permanently disappear.

Items submitted may be subjected to editing at the discretion of the editors.

April and May have been cancelled or postponed.

I spent the week before going to press deleting a large number of items that were due to happen.

There are a number of other things like markets and meetings that are still scheduled but as the situation is constantly and quickly changing, it is best to phone the contact numbers to confirm before attending.

Many of our local cafes and restaurants have changed how they do business, switching from dine-in to take-away only or even delivery.

Again, call them to confirm what is happening individually before turning up.

Cancelled events include the Anzac Day dawn services at Yankalilla and Second Valley, the History Month events that were to run throughout May and a number of other meetings, fundraisers, entertainment and gatherings.

The other thing I should mention is the missing pages from the March issue. There were two back to back pages of political cartoons and social commentary removed at the request of the cartoonist ‘K’ after a business owner was upset about appearing - in a complimentary way - on the page after it was put online but before distributing the hard copy. The quickest and easiest way to fix this was to remove the whole page. However, things got a bit interesting after that and you can read the letters section to see what happened. In hindsight (always 20/20) it would have been better to leave it in!

Until next issue, stay safe, wash your hands and keep up the social distancing...

Cheers, Paul Jelfs, Editor.

O

Hysteria

xford interpretation "exaggerated or uncontrollable emotion or excitement."

The sequence goes and has gone this way during this covid-19 virus: anxiety, then the anxious person progresses to fear if the vexation does not reduce, culminating in hysteria, causing people to come down here from Adelaide to buy toilet paper!!!

If you really want to know, the ultimate reference in these matters it is the APA handbook DSM5.

(American College of Psychology) who allude to hysteria as somatisation - the word root soma means body. 1. Often referred to as 'psychosomatic' eg mind/body. "pain or fatigue enough to cause problems in your daily life" (you can pick the urban toilet roll bandits by their anguish).

Technically (DSM5) "excessive and persistent thoughts about the seriousness of your symptoms and your persistently high level of anxiety about your health or symptoms or you devote too much time (coming to Yank) or energy to your symptoms or health concerns.1.

1. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental health disorders DSM-5 APA. Tony Nicholl 0423690708

70th Wedding Anniversary

D

awn and Ray celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary on the 11th March with a lunch attended by family, including one of their bridesmaids.

Dawn and Rays courtship began after they met at a mutual family and friends wedding as their attendants. They married 2 years later and began their married life in Yankalilla in the house Ray was born in. It was four years later that they bought their own farm and walked their 30 dairy cows along the main road from Yankalilla to Normanville, to their present farm on Hay Flat Road!

They have had a happy and blessed life being involved in the community and local Church, raising 3 children and now enjoying their grandchildren and great grandchildren.

70 years what a milestone to celebrate Pictured: On their Wedding Day (left) a recent portrait (on cover) and (below) on Ray’s 90th.

Garden Shed News

R

ecently the Club enjoyed a visit from residents of an ECH retirement community, who travelled by bus from the suburb of Lockleys.

Their plan was to check out the garden and also find out what the men get up to in the Men's Shed. They were most impressed on both counts!

Many thanks to Bob Hacker for explaining the Shed activities - we had a hard time getting them out of there!

Our guests sat down to a well appreciated morning tea before touring the flourishing garden. As

they left to experience more of our wonderful Fleurieu, we presented them with a huge hamper of freshly picked goodies from the garden. We hope this visit was the first of many visits to our new "farmlet".

Exciting things are happening soon at the garden, so watch the space!! We would love to welcome new gardeners to our plot on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9.30am. Why not come and be part of this new venture and watch it grow?

Community Library Advisory Group n early March, the Community Ireport Library Advisory Group finalised a that was tabled at the Council

Meeting on 17 March 2020. The report contained a summary of the key points surrounding the development of a new building to permanently house the Yankalilla Public Library, which has been temporarily located at 'The Centre' for the last five years.

Delamere

Open by appointment 0400 728 018 or on Facebook HAIR, BEAUTY, & WELLNESS

The report included initial concept plans provided by local architect, Rhys Jones which took into account the building's environmental footprint and the cost to the community.

During the last six months the Community Library Advisory Group has also consulted with Sandra Skinner from the Yankalilla Public Library to ensure the development will meet the current and future needs of the community.

As the Council meeting will be held after this article goes to print, the members of the Community Library Advisory Group are collectively waiting with baited breath on Council's decision to accept our report in support of a library being built. We hope we will soon have some good news to deliver to the community groups and numerous individuals in our district who have expressed their support for the development.

If you wish to supply information or feedback to the Community Library Advisory Group regarding the new development please write to Ross Trigg at PO Box 262 Normanville SA 5204 or email: consultation@yankalilla.sa.gov.au

Kangaroo Island Art Exhibition in spring

T

he KI Easter Art Exhibition is to be moved forward to September 2020, and will be called the Kangaroo Island Art Exhibition.

The decision was not lightly made, but artists across the island were too overwhelmed by the bushfire and subsequent recovery to be ready for an Easter opening.

The Artists Collective KI is planning instead for an opening on Saturday 26 September, with the exhibition running for two full weeks, closing on 11 October.

Both judges, Rhana Devenport, director of the Art Gallery of SA, and Emma Fey, CEO of Guildhouse, are both available to judge at that time.

September is spring, a time of renewal and hope, and new beginnings. We look forward to an artistic outburst shaped and perhaps inspired, but not defeated by, the events of this summer.

Entry forms for the exhibition can be found the Artworks KI website In the meantime, please enjoy

ankalilla Men's Probus meeting 326 in March was preceded by our AGM at which we welcomed new members to our committee The election of office bearers was undertaken after the resignation of president Warren Johnston. For ten years with great personal commitment Warren has been a stalwart running the club along the Probus guidelines. Unfortunately Warren is moving out of the district and members and others alike wish him well in his new home.

Warren’s successor as President is the well-known and well liked Allan Barnes.

Attendance at the meeting was 64% and with likelihood of new members joining the club in the ensuing month.

Our guest speaker for this meeting was Peter Gardner from Victor Harbor. Peter has had a long career working for the United Nations

primarily in Geneva. We found the intrigues and initiatives involving the UN very interesting and that very few Australians work there in the UN. For members, potential new members, and any visitors our next meeting is to be held on Tuesday 7th April at 10am at the RSL hall on Main South Road, Normanville.

Following our history of having good guest speakers next meeting we have scheduled Rebekah Sharkie our local member in Canberra to speak to us.

All welcome.

Festival Fleurieu 2021

T

he 9th Festival Fleurieu is taking shape with a new Board, an updated Strategic Plan and a new Festival Producer.

Starting in 2005 as the Leafy Sea Dragon Festival, it became the Festival Fleurieu in 2013, with our iconic leafy sea dragon logo remaining as a symbol of the stunning location on the western coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula, and of our responsibility to care for this environment, its history, its peoples.

The festival is an expression of life on the Fleurieu coast in the District of Yankalilla. Read our vision, mission and Strategic Plan at www.festivalfleurieu.com.au. There is something for everyone in our inclusive community festival planned for, with and by you!

You will read in our Strategic Plan that a major objective is to programme a festival that is engaging and exciting. To meet this objective we need YOU as: • Active stakeholders • Contributors of ideas • Event planners and organisers • Enthusiastic supporters of Festival Fleurieu 2021 • Artists who open their studios to share the district’s creative talent • Coordinators of each category of the festival programming plus promoting and marketing The Board had planned to hold a

Public Meeting in late April to both introduce our new Festival Producer, Judith Adams, and start to recruit people to be involved in the 2021 Festival.

Given the current circumstances regarding COVID19 that meeting has been cancelled. The Board will be meeting to plan how we go about engaging people in the Festival over the coming months. We acknowledge the current situation is dynamic and changing rapidly and we will continue to monitor advice. The best way to stay in contact with what’s happening regarding the Festival is to join our mailing list.

Check the home page of the website to fill in the online form and join the mailing list. We will also have regular updates in the Yankalilla Regional News. If you are keen to be involved in the 2021 Festival send us an email: admin@festivalfleurieu.com.au We would love to hear from you and thank you for your understanding about the public meeting being cancelled.

With the cancellation of the History Festival the Horrible Histories event on May 23rd won’t go ahead either.

We thank people who purchased tickets and we will be in touch regarding a refund.

For any further information about the Festival please contact the Board Chairperson, Desmond Ford 0409 280 459.

Retro Wines - The Chloe Pinot Griogio YanKI Cup - YCC / KI Bushfire Appeal e just love the Range of Wines W from Retro Wines. Winenutt was out and about last month through

the Fleurieu and Normanville doing on location tastings of the new range from Retro Wines. He visited One Little Sister, The Surf Club, Carrickalinga lookout and Fork Tree Brewing. We love this range available through Winenutt.com.au for it’s fun and funky labels but more importantly for the quality and value for money.

There are 6 Wines in the range and a favourite of John Mazzocato (AKA Winenutt) is The Chloe Pinot Grigio.

The Chloe is a sophisticated Italian style wine. It has the aromas of freshly cut straw with hints of green peas. The grapes are lovingly harvested from Currency Creek to give you a crisp and fresh drop. A perfect wine to share in the summer and will pair well with your slightly spicy Italian dishes. Ready for drinking now The Chloe is a sassy stylish white. At Winenutt you’ll get the Chloe 50% off for only $14.95.

ankalilla Cricket Club held its Y annual fundraiser on Sunday 8th of March with a slight twist this year - with the devastating fires that have impacted the KI community, the YCC committee decided to direct donated funds in that direction. The day was a relaxed afternoon full of fun and frivolity, with mock horse races, a band (Squirrel Grip) to keep the punters entertained, and an enthusiastic and lively auctioneer (Jason O'Halloran from Ray White Real Estate) to keep things rolling

along and extract as much money out of the punters as possible. In the end, over $5000 was raised for the KI Bushfire appeal. A massive effort by all involved. The YCC thanks the generous support of the local business community who made the day possible. A big thank you to our Race Sponsors - Ray White Normanville, Forktree Brewing, Terry White Chemmart Normanville and Yankalilla Bakery.

We have a new Yankalilla District Residents Association

P

rior to the gathering of residents for the first general meeting of the newly formed Yankalilla District Residents Association (YDRA), at The Centre on Wednesday 11th March, an interesting talk was given by who is the Cultural Facilitator for the Victor Harbor Council. She spoke on the process of making Arts development happen using a sample project from Victor Harbor for setting up the Coral Street Art Space. Her talk outlined the importance of cooperation between residents and Council, of bringing together stakeholders in the process, of the ongoing crucial role of volunteers and a partner like the National Trust. In thanking Peta, Ruth Trigg highlighted the interesting youth project in the making: I see me. Food for thought for the new YDRA. Then followed the Inaugural Yankalilla District Residents Association AGM. A Management Committee of eight was formed from those financial members who nominated and were seconded; they were approved by those present. After some discussion from the floor, the four executive positions were filled: President, Grant Pettigrew; Vice President, Caroline Weatherstone; Secretary, Brian Matthews; Treasurer Richard Fairweather. Four non executive members are: Alex Kuske, Jenny Russell, Des Gubbin, David Muirhead.

These generous residents have a

spectrum of experience to bring to their roles; a short profile of each will be in the YDRA newsletter to be published via email after the first meeting of the year.

The YDRA will communicate with members through emails and Facebook, articles in the Yankalilla Regional News and via its website at http://yankalilladra.org/

form the Incorporated body, set up a website, a bank account and a PO box and now to the committed persons who have taken up the responsibility of meeting the YDRA objectives.

Check out he website where there are membership forms:http:// yankalilladra.org/ Pictured: Peta Aubin‘s presentation prior to the AGM.

How can you be involved?

• As the need arises, sub-committees will be formed to organise tasks and projects members suggest to the Management Committee.

• On the website you will find a copy of the constitution and ideas for projects from residents who attended a public meeting late in 2019. Many of those also offered a variety of skills which they can contribute to the new association.

Contribute through the communication channels listed above or in writing to PO Box 24 Normanville 5204 or to email address: secretary@yankalilladra.org The majority of our members, so far, prefer practical action rather than being on a committee; therefore we are grateful to firstly the Working Party who spent many hours getting the structure and shape in place to

Letters & Opinions Something about stones and glass houses.

writing to clarify the authorship of the conIcally’mtentious cartoons (pp 13-14) that were physiremoved from the 2020 March issue of

Yankalilla Regional News. The first point I wish to make is that ‘it’s not me!’ If you want to get the rest of the story, you’ll need to be patient; if not, opt out now!

This is a somewhat ‘shaggy dog’s tail’ of story.

Again, if you are not one for long walks on the beach or a quiet night in reading Clive James’ translation of The Divine Comedy, then here is your next invitation to stop reading. Don’t say that you weren’t warned! As Jerry in Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story would say: ‘What I am going to tell you has something to do with how sometimes it’s necessary to go a long distance out of the way to come back a short distance correctly; or, maybe I only think that it has something to do with that.’

In any case, once upon a time in the 1970s, while working with The New Yorker cartoonist Victoria Roberts on her first short film, I met the famed Michael Leunig. I reconnected again with him in the early 2000s and always held him in high regard for his whimsical creativity. Imagine my surprise in 2019, when one of his cartoons came under attack for being misogynistic, and younger generations (most particularly but not exclusively) decided to ‘give him a serve’ for depicting a mother paying more attention to her mobile phone than her baby. The lesson was a salient one about context: who/how/why/when (etc.) matters, for one generation may see things quite differently to another. On this occasion, a great deal of anger erupted and even Leunig’s sister Mary, another cartoonist, could not defend the indefensible. One thing that I never heard at the time was ‘it’s just a cartoon’. Everyone seemed to have an opinion, one way or another.

In Denmark in September 2005, 3500 people demonstrated peacefully against the JyllandsPosten Muhammad cartoons. In November 2005, several European newspapers reprinted the cartoons which led to more protests. In December 2005, labour strikes began and several organisations criticised the Danish government; in January 2006, there was a boycott on Danish goods.

Comedian Omar Marzouk then ridiculed Muhammad as he defended freedom of speech and protests continued. Embassies were set alight; by March 2006, 139 people had died in riots stemming from the protests. In 2010, a man was shot while attempting to kill Kurt Westergaard, one of the cartoonists. In 2011, French magazine Char-

Email: editor@yrn.com.au Or Post to: Box 2110, Normanville SA 5204

lie Hebdo was bombed on the day that a new edition of the cartoons was set to go to press. In 2012, two men were found guilty of planning a terrorist attack. Indeed, this has been called ‘the first transnational humour scandal’ because even the United Nations became involved. My point here is that ‘neutral’ was again not a default position for anyone involved: the media or the audience.

Of course, by now you may be asking ‘what has any of this got to do with the March YRN cartoons’ and/or ‘how many people saw them anyway before they were taken offline or physically removed from the paper’? ‘And why not blame the editor for letting them through in the first place; doesn’t he have a role to play?’ Be patient.

I said this was a long story. Certainly, I concede here that the issue of proportionality could be cited to argue that there can be no comparison between the Leunig incident, the Danish cartoons and our mysterious cartoonist’s various contributions (signed off under the letter ‘K’).

Alright, what I would say to those who told me that ‘it’s only a cartoon’ – in fact, there were two full page multilayered cartoons on the original pages 13–14 of the March YRN, with other examples of the same cartoonist’s work still in evidence on pages 16–17 in the same issue. Given we all live here in a relatively close-knit community, then perhaps proportionality should be measured by the context of ‘small town’ human relations. Maybe this is the reason, ‘K’ chose to hide their identity from the community at large – because he/she knew full well that this ‘poking the bear’ would come back to haunt him/her. I say here that if you are going to sling mud (however ‘humorously’) at least, have the courage of your convictions, take full responsibility for your work and say who you are – because if you truly believe that you are entitled to do so, then you need to foresee the consequences of your actions, which your disclaimer at the foot of page 14 hints at: ‘These comments are not to shame anyone’ etc.

OK. I get it. Some consequences maybe be ‘unforseeable’ – like the fact that I was dragged in unwittingly into this scenario because the ‘K’ of the sign off led people to speculate that the cartoonist could be me. The other unforseeable consequence was that a small business owner in Normanville who was about to take part in the Yankalilla Library’s International Women’s Day event, pulled out because she had been the subject of a section of the offending cartoons. She was distressed and felt that she could not face doing any public speaking not knowing whether the offending cartoonist might be in the audience.

Along with council staff organising the event, I

was sympathetic to her need to withdraw.

Just before IWD, quite by serendipity, I discovered that the local rumour-mill had me down as a candidate for the role of the secret cartoonist. I was horrified. The more people I spoke to, the more friends and acquaintances admitted they knew about the ongoing speculation. Those who know me well reassured me that ‘nobody would seriously think that it was you because you would put your name to anything you do’ and that my outspokenness weighed in my favour because I’m not one to shy away from owning up to my views (which of course, gets me into all sorts of trouble with my detractors). In this case, however, some of my detractors were happy to affirm my Facebook post that it was not me.

Nevertheless, like the small business owner, I was still emotionally distressed. I didn’t like being drawn into (LOL) something not of my own making! On Day #1 for me, some in the town told me to ‘get over it and move on’; others said ‘there’s more to the story’ of why the cartoonist had decided to produce this work. It’s fair enough that everyone will have a view, but what I resist then and now is the idea that I am not entitled somehow to have a personal reaction to all of this! Really empathy would have sufficed – but I guess with the toilet paper shortages because of Covid-19, empathy is a quality in short supply (LOL)!

Now, let’s get back to the notion of proportionality. In my case, I am only one small player in this sorry saga – an extra if you like in this amateur melodrama being played out still as I write. Others have been hurt far more than I have, and yes, some are public figures and your empathy may be in even shorter supply for them, but all these people are human beings with real feelings who do not deserve to be the subject of these derogatory depictions. If you want to pick a fight with council, do it in a more apt arena and be a bit more intelligent about it!

Months ago, a premonition of minor doom had overcome me when I saw the letter ‘K’ in a circle with the previous cartoons. Little did I know then that my anxiety would translate into something tangible. ‘What’s the big deal?’ you say, still displaying your lack of empathy.

The big deal here is that if you are going to participate in public discourse of any variety, then have the courage to own your own shit! Nobody else wants it! And remember – something about stones and glass houses. I shouldn’t need to remind you!

Letters & Opinions Missing Cartoons

I

was in the gallery at the Council Meeting of Tuesday 17 March, 2020. The attached three motions without notice were raised by Cr Bill Verwey. There was hardly any discussion and since no other councillor was prepared to second any of them, all the motions failed.

I was somewhat astonished at the off handed way Council handled the motions, since I am certain that many community members, like myself, would regard the content of each motion as addressing important points relevant to free speech and democracy. Are we to assume that the District Council of Yankalilla no longer considers these matters relevant to life in our community?

Alex Anderson Normanville NB: In the interest of accuracy.

It has been drawn to my attention that the first line under motion 1, point d. owing to miscommunication is incorrect. The cartoons were withdrawn by the editor at the request of the cartoonist, in deference to a response from a community member and business owner mentioned therein.

Motion 1 Moved Bill Verwey "That the District Council of Yankalilla supports the principals of freedom of the press and the right for content to be published at the Editor's discretion and, where the identity of the providers of material for publication is hidden that the right for anonymity be protected.

This is one of the fundamental and valued cornerstones of Australia's democratic system."

Reason: Letter sent be CEO to the Editor of Yankalilla Regional News threatening legal action for alleged defamation and also requests the identity of the cartoonists. The letter also infers that the Elected Members are party to this letter. a). The matter was not discussed

by Elected Members at the Council Forum and therefore are not party to the letter (confirmed

by CEO response to Paul Jelfs when questioned whether motion was passed by Elected Members). b). The content of the letter and its request is contrary to international agreements; High Court of Australia interpretation of the Australian Constitution as to the freedom of the press and

Email: editor@yrn.com.au Or Post to: Box 2110, Normanville SA 5204 freedom of opinion. c).

Response from the Commonwealth Attorney General’s department: “The right to freedom of expression is the right to hold opinions without interferences, and cannot be subject to any exception or restriction” “The right to freedom of expression extends to any medium, including written and oral communications, the media, public protest, broadcasting, artistic works and commercial advertising” “Australia is a party to seven core international human rights treaties. The right of freedom of opinion and expression is contained in articles 19 and 20 of the international Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).” d). Paul Jelfs. Editor of YRN had removed the cartoons from the YRN edition out of fear – he certainly had every right to publicise them – political satire (cartoons) have played a major role in Australian society and very often not flattering to the leaders of the day.– Old Parliament House displays a great number of these.

Motion 2 Moved Bill Verwey "That the District Council of Yankalilla continues its relationship with the Yankalilla Regional News by contributing "the Loop" to its monthly publication" Reason: Supporting local business.

Cost effective project to include “the Loop” in the YRN. Motion 3 Moved Bill Verwey "That should the CEO of the District Council insist of pursuing legal action against the Yankalilla Regional News and/or its editor, Paul Jelfs, he does so as a private citizen at his own expense" Reason: The Council should not be a party to an act which could jeopardise the reputation of the District Council of Yankalilla.

Considering the sacrifices, not only Australian men and women, but all residents of nations that uphold the values of freedom and democracy have made in the past (and continue to do so), taking any other action then to formally withdraw all support for this regrettable situation is the only course of action.

Letters & Opinions Pages 13 and 14 missing in the March edition.

What happened?

artoonist ‘K’, moving around the C district listening to people, created two pages of cartoons

reflecting opinions (pages 13 and 14).

A local business person was mentioned by name in one section of the cartoons.

The Yankalilla Regional News (YRN) was available online a few days before the printed version was distributed. Someone took the cartoons and posted them on a community Facebook page, a possible breach of copyright. This FB posting drew a range of comments, although no comments were recorded on the YRN Facebook. The business person objected to their name being connected with the content of the cartoons. The cartoonist chose to remove the pages from the printed YRN, in deference to the response of the business person.

Several days after the pages 13 and 14 were removed, the editor of YRN received a letter from Mr Nigel Morris, in his capacity as CEO of the District Council of Yankalilla, claiming that the cartoons contained content which defamed him, the staff, and elected members of the council, and also claiming that ‘each of them’ found the cartoons ‘offensive and malicious’. The elected members of Council were not informed of that letter before it was sent. The letter stated that if certain requirements were not followed by the editor in future editions then legal proceedings could follow.

In the letter, the CEO required the editor to inform him of the identity of ‘K’, so that ‘Council may similarly raise its concerns with that person’.

The editor has not complied with that ‘requirement’ by the CEO. The CEO, in a subsequent communication by email, informed the editor of the YRN that the Council insert In the Loop will be withdrawn from inclusion and distribution by the YRN. At the March 17 meeting of the District Council of Yankalilla, newly elected councilor Bill Verwey tabled three motions in relation to the actions by the CEO in regards to this matter (see page 14). None of these motions received a seconder from the elected members and so lapsed.

Cartoonist ‘K’, by removing the cartoons, acknowledges that they should have asked permission of the business person before including ‘positive’ comments about them.

This point is supported by the editor.

The editor, in publishing the cartoons under the banner of ‘opinion’, maintains the cartoons contained content and views of the cartoonist of public interest, within the Australian tradition of giving cartoonists freedom of expression in political and social commentary. This position is supported by Australia being

signatory to seven core international human rights treaties regarding freedom of opinion and expression.

and 2013 I taught 18 and Icityn192012 year-old students in China, at a an hour west of Shanghai. The

College had chosen the South Australian certificate of education SACE as the teaching medium with all subjects taught in English, for their students to matriculate. The college chose the SACE program because its high standing around the world would allow these students to apply for entry in almost any western university.

One student asked me if her cousin, a journalist, who had obtained her degree at Oxford, could interview me. I agreed, she came to the college, and it was a straight-forward interview about what I was doing at the college. When she switched the recorder off, she asked what my hobbies were, and whether it was possible to carry on with them in China. I explained I was interested in the development of industrial hemp in Australia, to replace cotton in the Murray Darling Basin, and that I was making contact with the hemp research experts in China.

The interview was on a Thursday.

The following Tuesday I was alone in my apartment. The whole apartment building was barely occupied – typical of the millions of instant high-rise apartments in China. I was the only occupant on my floor. At 7.30pm there was a knock on the door – that had never happened before. I opened the door onto the corridor just over a metre wide – to be confronted with wall-towall police. At least twenty people in uniform jammed a metre each side of the door, and in front of me. It was a compelling sight! The only woman was immediately in front of me, and in a belligerent voice with barely passable English, demanded to see my passport. When I asked the reason, the person just behind her stepped forward and demanded that I do as I was told and to not ask questions.

I gave the woman the passport. She flipped through it, obviously unused to finding what she was after, so I took it from her, found the page with my details and handed it back. I kept asking questions; what was this about? They were checking all foreigners – only about fifty in the city of 5 million. I quickly called two other Australian colleagues in adjacent apartments to warn them – but they were never visited.

I had realised for some time that the heater/airconditioner on the wall had been tampered with. I never used it.

It started clicking at 7pm every night and stopped at 7am in the morning.

Why did the police give me a visit?

The word had passed through the system about my interest in hemp – even though that was ‘off the record’. I contacted the journalist and told her not to publish anything.

I fully expected to be stopped at the

Email: editor@yrn.com.au Or Post to: Box 2110, Normanville SA 5204 airport in China the next time I returned – but that did not happen.

Why this story? Why now? We are in April, the month of Anzac. The month of continuing to educate ourselves about the stories of sacrifice, in two world wars and more. I imagine young boys in trenches, in awful conditions that went on and on, each wondering, What am I doing here? What is this for? Many of my uncles and aunts were in the second world war, one died and several were severely damaged for the rest of their lives, and their loved ones were too when they returned, damaged in hidden ways.

When I was eighteen, about to go to university in 1966, thinking that just two decades before that the war ‘was so long ago !!’ I stopped long enough to ask, What was it about? I am still trying to answer that question but one thing became very clear. The responsibility for me, a young person, receiving the benefit from that enormous wound of sacrifice, that wound not only on individuals but on families, on country towns displaying their lost in memorials, on the country of no more than seven million post the second world war. That wound of sacrifice trying to heal itself still.

My responsibility is to keep asking – what went wrong to create the conditions for war? Was it the deranged leaders, or was it also a compliant populace that pulled the blinds down to ignore what was happening on the footpaths outside their homes. Ignoring the ‘small’ acts of violence with people being thrown out of their homes, thrown into camps, thrown onto trains. Ignoring the ‘small’ acts, hoping they would go away.

For those boys in the trenches, and the nurses in the thick of it, there is a fragile answer to ‘What are we here for?’ ‘What is going on?’ ‘Is losing my life worth anything lasting?’

There is a lot of memorial work in the Anzac month of April. What about the constant, current work, the work of maintaining the peace?

Now, this year, in Normanville, Yankalilla, in 2020?

What is the answer to ‘Was it worth it?’ Yes, there is a fragile, slender, answer. The understanding, shared through the community, that the rule of law, the right of free assembly, and the right to freedom of expression, is established.

Established by that wound of sacrifice. Now so established that we live it so freely we forget how it came to be.

And then we find, paying attention to the smallest thing, that maybe this freedom is quietly being removed.

Quietly being replaced by something else. How quietly? The removal of political cartoons from a monthly magazine. Why? Because they caused offence? Who acted and why did the actions of removal of these cartoons occur?

I want my freedom as a citizen to choose what I read and what I choose to be entertained, educated, or offended by. My choice. Not someone else deciding that for me.

To protect my sensitivities. I am often offended by political cartoons, and I respond to the newspaper where they are published, but I embrace the freedom so hard fought for that I would never ask that they be censored or removed. I embrace the long history of larrikin humour in Australia’s political cartooning, long envied by almost every other culture in the world. And now I find it, quietly, surreptitiously, being interfered with. Here. Now. I reflect on the way my freedom while living in China was deliberately and aggressively challenged. My apartment was the only one bugged. My colleagues all said they would have been on the next plane out if it had happened to them. I stayed. My staying in the face of threat was nowhere near the lack of freedom those young boys had to endure in trenches fighting a stupid war, and nurses losing their lives in terrible horror.

Where are you in peacetime? What peace and freedoms are you fighting for, here, in 2020, because you choose to see (or not) the small piece of freedom that is quietly removed, before your very eyes.

I will be saying more. I will publish it and distribute it myself, to protect the independence of the editor of the Yankalilla Regional News. I support the open-acceptance editorial policy of this editor over the past twenty three years I have been reading and contributing to this monthly magazine. The role this magazine plays in sharing the work and pleasure within and across all the community organisations, the ideas and grumbles in the letters and cartoons, where anyone can voice their agreement or dissent in the next edition. We are given the respect, by the editor, of choosing to be persuaded one way or the other. The editor does not censor the range we can engage with. I often disagree. I am mature enough never to require material to be removed. I deeply appreciate the way the Yankalilla Regional News plays an impressive part in holding this community together by making so much information accessible, by reflecting back to us who we are. And we are the makers of this as well, to contribute or not, to agree or not.

I am astonished that we need to closely monitor whether deep democratic principles and freedoms are being challenged. And they are.

Something that we believed was enshrined. Sacred by the wounds of sacrifice.

Peacetime. Here. 2020. Who is in the field honoring those who have gone before, in this Anzac month? Declare yourselves by action. Not by pulling the blinds down.

Letters & Opinions Do They Care?

Free Speech - A Fundamental Democratic Right.

sent the following letter to our elected Iacknowledge members. Only two bothered to even they had received it. So much for

courtesy.

Dear Councillors, When I received my copy of the March 2020 YRN, it took less than a few minutes to recognise that a page was missing.

Thanks to social media, it took about the same time to track down the missing pages of cartoons.

I was delighted and highly amused by the cartoons. They were drawn with artistic flair (we have a real talent in the community that should be nurtured), and they reflect very accurately the feelings and views of many of the people in the community, who are becoming increasingly concerned with some issues where transparency of decision-making does not appear to be paramount.

I have since heard that "someone was offended" and that this was the rationale behind the cartoons' removal. It is irrelevant who. People are entitled to their views: after all, we do live in a democracy - but they are NOT entitled to censor information and forbid freedom of expression.

I find it deeply offensive; indeed deeply worrying, that two pages of cartoons have been removed. In my view, this is the thin end of the wedge, possibly signalling a frightening authoritarian response.

Australian cartooning, and in particular, political cartooning, has a long and proud tradition. You may like to visit the website of the Museum of Australian Democracy in Old Parliament House, Canberra. The opening page states: "Discover Australia's rich tradition of political cartoons where all politicians and policies may face the brute force of the cartoonist's pen. Australian political cartoons are a gateway to democracy.

They represent freedom of expression and freedom of speech".

This belief is supported by countless examples of similar, or even stronger, statements. The Institute of Public Affairs states: "While journalists are bound by their code of conduct to come as close to fairness as possible, the cartoonist goes as far as possible in the other direction."

In December 2012, James Spigelman, a former Chief Justice of the NSW Supreme Court, delivered a landmark Human Rights Day Oration, in which he declared free speech as "perhaps the most fundamental human right underpinning

Email: editor@yrn.com.au Or Post to: Box 2110, Normanville SA 5204

participation in public life." At the time of this oration, the section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 was under controversial review, and he was addressing the complex question of protecting people from being offended. His statement is worth considering: "Protecting people's feelings against offence is not an appropriate objective for the law.....The freedom to offend is an integral component of freedom of speech. There is no right not to be offended."

Australia is a party to seven core international human rights treaties. The right to freedom of opinion and expression is contained in articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Under the conventions, all forms of racial discrimination, the rights of the child and the rights of persons with disabilities are protected.

In the cartoons removed from the March copy of YRN, I can discern no racial discrimination, nor can I see any derogatory references to children or persons with disabilities. What I see is clever depiction of matters of concern that are being discussed openly by people in the local community. There are also references to some of the positive initiatives - in fact, a quite balanced representation.

The administration of this council has been quick, in the past, to pursue legal redress.(eg dogs off leash: resulting in considerable embarrassment I might add). I trust this is not being considered in this instance? If it is, I would regard it as a flagrant misuse of ratepayers' money.

I very much hope that the elected members will recognise the principles of free speech and be prepared to defend the fundamental foundations of democracy that I fear are being threatened.

Sincerely and in the interests of free speech and democracy, Winnie Pelz

Public Interest

he last edition of YRN had 2 pages of political cartoons removed prior to distribution. This, however, has not stopped the CEO from threatening legal action on behalf of the Council. While these threats were not the reason for the removal of the cartoons, they should never have happened. The cartoons were simply the observations of the author as they moved within the local community.

People are talking about the DCY executive salaries which have risen disproportionally to any other salary within the Council or virtually any other area for that matter.

Mar 2016 to Jan 2020 CEO: $168,082 to $243,214, a 44.7% increase in under 4 years.

Manager Operations: $114,900 to $168,530, a 46.67% increase in under 4 years.

The other contracted position, Manager Finance & Community Services, was paid $105,061pa in 2016 but was split into 2 new roles in August 2016 as follows: Nov 2016 to Jan 2020 GM Customer & Community Services: $114,155 to $157,692, a 38.15% increase in 3 years.

Mgr. Finance, Procurement & Infrastructure: $103,363 to $153,827, a 48.82% increase in 3 years.

Further, in an internal memo, the CEO has argued that salary of his 3 subordinates should be increased to $170,000pa.

Add to this, they have been granted an extra week’s holiday each year.

During this time other staff of DCY have received approximately 2% salary increases each year.

2019/20 amended budget shows wages expenses now account for approximately 48.6% of total rates revenue. (compared to 40% at Alexandrina Council) Victor Harbor’s CEO package as at January, 2020 was $210,125. That is an area with 3 times the population and double the budget.

I believe any argument used to support these increases are flawed.

Is it any wonder that people are talking about these issues?

Current budget projections show employee costs are likely to exceed original forecasts by some $224,000 and the overall deficit increasing from $386,845 to $910,422 for the year. Outlandish salaries cannot be justified based on these figures.

Now the CEO has threatened to waste further Ratepayers money on a potentially frivolous defamation case against YRN. Council has also removed the ‘In the Loop’ information page from all future editions of YRN, not because they have found a better alternative, but because they want to punish the YRN for publishing opinions of people that question the direction of the Council and, in particular, the CEO. It is nothing more than attempted censorship. People should be allowed to speak their minds without fear of reprisal.

Our Elected Members are failing to control the Administration of this Council, their employees.

Their first duty should be to act in the best interest of ratepayers, not the best interest of the CEO and his Administration team.

Appreciation

would like to convey my sincere thanks to the Management and Staff of Romeos Normanville Foodland.

They are always so helpful there. From Tony, Matt and Daniel, and to all of their hard working employees.

This has been especially so since the Coronavirus. During the influx of 'visitors' to our Town, hoarding stock when they can, the helpfulness of Romeos Staff to locals is much appreciated. I wouldn't shop anywhere else, thank you so much.

Objections to the psychology articles by T Nicholl

e can no longer keep quiet over your W regular column on psychology with its misleading information and shocking prejudices as the last one referring to gender violence was unacceptable. Murder of women and children, and violence to them, cannot be explained or condoned under any circumstances. Such illogical and incorrect statements should not be allowed in the pages of the YRN. The whole country hangs its head over recent crimes of this nature and side issues or misinformation must not cloud the issue.

Although over time we’ve tried to ignore the

columnist’s poor writing and his use of opinions in place of facts, his offensive article in the Jan/ February issue made a group of us so enraged that all of us went home and read or reread the haranguing article. Shame. Shame.

Lorraine McLoughlin with the unanimous support of Nicole Gilding Helen Greer Janice High Roslyn Hocking Jillian Langford Janet Page Christine Stokes.

Response from Tony Nicholl

appreciate the opportunity to respond to the Ito readers’ letter (above) particularly in relation the article I wrote on family violence in the

January/February issue.

If I write material that makes people think then it will have served it's purpose. Your opinions are recognised and valued.

Everyone in Australia has been shocked and horrified by that family dying in Queensland the way they did. No justification.

I have had a huge depth of training and experience at a hard coalface over years in these issues and this is what I would like to leave you with.

Kids are most often the victims.

How do we identify mad and bad people likely to perpetrate such evil?

How do we prevent it in the first instance?

Family violence is very complex and multifaceted and not readily understood.

It is normal and right for you to be reactive when hideous events occur.

Australian Decorative And Fine Arts Society Fleurieu Monday 4th May Karen Fernald presents Florence Nightingale: Letters and Diaries.

E

ver wondered about what Florence Nightingale did before and after her two years nursing in the Crimean War? Karen Fernald will capture Nightingale’s life in this presentation and bring the ‘Lady with the Lamp’ into vivid perspective.

“I could have been a married woman, a hospital sister or a literary woman”, said Florence Nightingale. She was both musical and artistic, but spent the rest of her life after the Crimean War writing about the tough issues – the health of the army, sanitation and hospital construction.

Nightingale reformed hospital nursing during the 19th Century. Having trained as a nurse, she was invited to take nurses out to tend the wounded in the Crimean War (1854). She travelled to Scutari, a suburb of Constantinople, where she transformed the appalling conditions at the Barrack Hospital and laid the foundations for lasting reforms in nursing care.

An entertaining lecturer on writers and artists from the mid18th to 19th centuries, Karen Fernald looks at Florence Nightingale’s life through paintings, sketches and portraits from the Nightingale Museum at St. Thomas’ Hospital, London.

VENUE: Gospel Centre, 2 George Main Road, Victor Harbor 5211.

WHEN: Monday 4th May. Refreshments 9.45am. Lecture - 10.30am.

Membership: $130.00 Non-members may attend up to 2 ADFAS Fleurieu lectures upon payment at the door of $25.00 per lecture. (NB. No credit card facilities are available.)

For further information and to make bookings please contact the Membership Secretary of ADFAS Fleurieu: 0452.556.193.

People Power To Protect Pygmy Possums In MAYO

F

ederal Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie has secured $20,000 to protect and boost the population of the endangered Western Pygmy Possum in Mayo.

The funding is being provided through the Federal Government's Environment Restoration Fund thanks to the advocacy of the Centre Alliance MP and her colleagues Senators Stirling Griff and Rex Patrick.

The funding will enable Conservation Volunteers Australia to partner with the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Natural Resource Management Board to roll-out a community Citizen Science Project on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

The project will engage local community volunteers to learn about Western Pygmy Possum conservation and participate in practical monitoring and conservation.

“Pygmy possums are a threatened species within our region and play an important role within the ecosystem, serving as pollinators,” Rebekha said.

“We don’t know enough about this special species on the Fleurieu to

help them to thrive, with only 97 observations recorded on Australia’s Living Atlas between 1920 and 2017.

“This grant will help Conservation Volunteers Australia provide refuges and nesting boxes for the possums as well as engaging the community to fill in the knowledge gap through Citizen Science Monitoring, and practical conservation.

“No matter where you live in Mayo, the environment is always a top concern that is raised with me, so I am excited by this opportunity to support community-led environment projects.”

Conservation Volunteers Australia’s Manager for South Australia and the Northern Territory, Darren Kennedy, said the funding boost was great news for volunteers and the Pygmy Possum.

“Western Pygmy Possums capture public attention, making them an excellent flagship species to promote biodiversity values, threats and conservation on the

Yankalilla Art nother enjoyable day at our A March session in the supper room. Karen Hammat was our guest

artist and she introduced us to ‘abstract landscape’. Using a photographic reference Karen presented her method in stages. The day was a combination of observation and practice.

The first stage and critical to the design is identifying the darks and lights of a landscape, using our own photograph as reference.

With a medium to large brush Karen quickly marked the dark areas of the picture, followed by several grades of grey and white to depict the main elements of the photograph. We learnt about the ‘grey scale’ which was crucial to learning this process.

We gathered around to watch Karen create a colour palette, carefully mixing paint to match the colours in the original photograph. This was

done on a strip of white paper, painting a narrow strip for each and every shade in the picture. In Karen’s photograph the colours included shades of blue for the water, pale green/yellow for a strip of beach, reddish hues for foliage and autumnal colours for leaves.

The original photograph was then put aside and a small painting was created using the lights and darks from the first painting, plus the colours she had carefully mixed.

We began work on our own landscape while Karen was still working on hers. We were encouraged to work quickly creating interesting shapes. The most difficult thing was mixing the right shades of colour to link areas of design together.

Karen came to advise and appraise our work, our group totally engrossed in what we were doing,

learning a new method and way of working, being adventurous with colour and shape.

A most enjoyable day was had by all who attended, some people feeling they had achieved greater success than with previous workshops thanks to Karen’s inspiring demonstration.

Our next art day is on April 9th, when our guest will be Judith Sweetman working in oils or acrylics. A list of materials will be sent out to members. The workshop will focus on reflections and entitled ‘The fascination of water’.

See you then!

COVID-19 Testing Clinic Opens in Victor Harbor 19 March 2020 COVID-19 testing clinic has opened at the South Coast District Hospital in Victor Harbor as the Marshall Government continues to roll out a clear and strong plan to tackle the spread of the coronavirus.

Member for Finniss David Basham said the Government’s plan to help prepare and protect South Australians encompassed everyone, including

A

regional communities where a series of clinics would open over the next few days.

“Our community will welcome this local clinic as part of the state-wide effort to contain and help stop the spread of the coronavirus and safeguard the health of all South Australians,” Mr Basham said.

“The clinic is located at the health site at the South Coast District Hospital,

COVID-19 Testing Clinics for South Coast and KI 19 March 2020 ederal Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie has welcomed the State Government's decision to set up COVID-19 testing centres in more regional centres, including Victor Harbor and Kangaroo Island.

"I'm really pleased the Health Minister Stephen Wade has recognised our call for more clinics in our community," Rebekha said.

"When I heard that only Mount Barker Hospital had set up a walk-in clinic, I immediately wrote to the Minister because the same service needed to be provided to other regional areas.

"People who are sick shouldn't have to travel great distances to get tested.

It puts everyone at unnecessary risk.

F

"If you live in Victor Harbor, it's a 70km drive to the clinic at the Mount Barker Hospital and a 75km drive to the nearest metropolitan testing site at Flinders Hospital and that is an unacceptable distance for South Coast residents to drive or use what limited public transport is available to them.

"Having the clinic at the South Coast District Hospital will ease pressure on the hospital’s relatively small regional emergency department and relieve some of the concerns of our community at this anxious time.

“We understand a clinic will be set up at Kingscote in the coming days.

Kangaroo Island had even less access to testing clinics on the mainland so that's welcome news."

Yankalilla Regional News - April 2020 - Page 20

next to the Flinders University building on Bay Road; visitors are asked to park in the carpark off Bay Road. It will be open seven days a week from 9am-5pm (closed between 12pm and 1pm).

“COVID-19 clinics are specifically designed for people who have symptoms (especially fever or cough) and have recently returned from overseas or have had contact with a known COVID-19 case.

“I thank Minister for Health and Wellbeing Stephen Wade for responding swiftly to the needs of regional South Australians as part of the Government’s plan. I’m also very grateful for the sensible advice offered by the South Coast’s medical community.

“Our community is understandably very concerned as this global pandemic continues to develop. Our best response is to stay informed and up-to-date with trusted official sources, follow the expert advice on how to protect our health and that of others, heed the bans on gatherings and look after the members of our community who need us.

“Our community has not escaped shortages of basic necessities caused by panic-buying in response to the coronavirus. Hoarding is completely unnecessary and it’s harming some of

the most vulnerable people in our community. It has to stop.”

Mr Basham said it was extremely important that the community follow advice from trusted official sources: • SA Health for local updates and information – www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/ COVID2019 • Australian Government Department of Health for national updates – www.health.gov.au • Smartraveller for the latest travel advice – www.smartraveller.gov.au • Healthdirect to check symptoms – www.healthdirect.gov.au • Coronavirus Health Information line – 1800 020 080 “The Government is not sitting idle,” he said. “We’re acting to minimise and slow the spread of the coronavirus in South Australia, including swiftly declaring a Public Health Emergency enabling us to implement all nationally agreed initiatives to deal with this pandemic.

“It’s urgent that our community continue to comply with public health advice and directions; this gives us the best chance of limiting and slowing the spread of the coronavirus.”

doing a mountain of work through the off season, ensuring we become a better and stronger club.

With the appointment of Lindsay Thomas as our A Grade Coach, our playing group is very motivated and excited and have had a very intense pre-season.

Reserves Coach Greg Hughes and Senior Colts Coach Micka James have been a great support.

Women’s footy is also underway and have started the season well. Open Women’s first game was played at Kangaroo Island for the K.I. Challenge Cup, which will be an annual event. The U16’s played Goolwa and had an impressive first round win. The U13’s combined with Mt Compass and put on a great show of what is to come for our girls.

Yankalilla Football Club’s Season Launch combined with Junior Registration Day was a huge success due to the amazing support from the community and our hard working volunteers. We were fortunate to have Kevin Sheedy as a guest speaker on the day.

The Yankalilla Football Club is now open Thursday and Saturday nights serving family friendly meals prepared by our new Chef, Wendy Baida. We hope to see you all there enjoying the family atmosphere and delicious affordable meals.

$40,000 for Rehabilitation of Aldinga Washpool

T

he Willunga Environment Centre has secured $40,000 to support a long-term rehabilitation project for the Aldinga Washpool thanks to the advocacy of the Federal Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie.

The Federal funding will allow the Centre’s Youth and Community in Conservation Action (YACCA) group to develop a plan for revegetation and rehabilitation of the nationally significant wetland through community engagement and education.

“No matter where I am in Mayo, the environment is always a top concern that is raised with me, so I am excited by this opportunity to support such a worthy community-led environment project,” Rebekha said.

“The long-term future of the Aldinga Washpool is an issue of concern for the local community

because most of the site is owned by SA Water and is not a protected conservation area.

“I have written to the State Environment Minister David Speirs to request that he consider making the site a conservation area.

“In the meantime, this $40,000 provided through the Environment Restoration Fund will provide an opportunity to engage young people and the wider community in the restoration and cultural awareness of the site and build the case for its longterm protection."

Willunga Environment Centre Manager Janine Anninos said members were delighted to receive funding of $40,000 to develop the Wakondilla/ Wangkondilla cultural connection to the Aldinga Washpool.

“This project aims to share information of the conservation and cultural heritage values of Aldinga Washpool with the wider community,” Janine said.

“The project involves cross collaborative work with the local Aboriginal group, Kaurna Youth, and YACCA. “The support from this grant allows us to engage our youth in cross-cultural experiences and is extremely positive.

“We look forward to this project being the beginning of similar experiences and involvement.”

Fruit & Veg Swap

eggie Swaps are local gatherings where people swap excess homegrown produce and gardening extras. Items may include fruit, vegetables, herbs, eggs, seeds, seedlings, gardening tips and worm juice, but may easily extend to skills shares, stories and seasonal recipes.

Our Veggie Swap is completely free and run on an honesty system. Swappers bring their produce and then ‘shop’ from the table of goods left by others.

The exchange should be a fair reflection of what has been given i.e. eggs for lemons and seeds for stories.

Why: To share delicious food, create friendships, build stronger communities, reduce waste and provide a grass roots response to food access issues.

All around Australia, fruit and veggie swaps are taking off and offer a real solution for those boxes of lemon, crates of tomatoes or trucks of tromboncino going to waste at your place. Bring along any excess produce on Saturday 4th April to our bi-monthly Veggie Swap at the Resource Centre at 9.15am to start swapping at 9.30am.

Community Plant Nursery

ust an update on our fabulous Community J Plant Nursery (at the Council Depot) and some information about a number of Field Trips and Planting Days that might be of interest.

As a result of our partnership with the Yankalilla Council, the NRM Board and Conservation Volunteers Australia (funded by a grant from SA Health), we have about 15,000 local native plants growing at the Nursery and these will be ready to plant throughout the district in the coming months.

They have been propagated and grown by a mix of local and CVA volunteers and we have expanded the number of days each month that the Nursery is now open. Our small group of volunteers continue to benefit from the expertise of the on-site CVA Conservation Officer and have learnt some new skills along the way.

We are in need of some additional local volunteers to help on the increased number of Planting Days at selected locations in the district, this year!

We have also planned a number of Field Trips where you can increase your knowledge and/or help maintain previous planting areas. These are all possible with the support and organisation from Conservation Volunteers Australia.

We are looking for some additional Volunteers to join our current crew and help make a difference to the natural environment within our district - if you have a few spare hours and can come along to help, just let us know and then turn up at the Nursery on the day!

This is all part of the "Greening The Fleurieu Coast" program and offers exciting and educational opportunities for anyone interested in our environment to come along and participate in every aspect of producing native plants for use in local revegetation projects (and then planting them). Along the way, we will visit some interesting places to help develop our Community Nursery into a key provider of plants for the local area.

IF YOU CAN SPARE A COUPLE OF HOURS (or more), anytime between 9.30am and 3.00pm on any of the dates in the Calendar, we would love to see you there!

The Calendar (right) highlights the planned field trips and planting days that we will undertake across the district, each month up until the end of June.

Weed Of The Month Brought To You By Cape Jervis Coastal Community Group CALTROP (Tribulus terrestris) (Photo: C. Schultz; growth habit, stem and flower, burr. Fulham Gardens, now removed!) his weed will be around over summer-autumn, so keep an eye out for it, especially after rain.

Any seeds then germinate rapidly, with plants growing, flowering and setting burrs very quickly, within 3-5 weeks. It is a ground hugger, with long, wiry, spreading stems coming out from a centre point. These reddish-brown stems are hairy.

Arranged on opposite sides to each other along the stems are the greyish-green, fern-like leaves. These are darker on the upper side than the lower. The lower sides of the leaves have a covering of fine,

Normanville Natural Resource Centre silvery hairs. The flowers, which are about 1cm across, are bell-shaped, 5-petalled and yellow.

These are followed by the fruit, woody burrs with hard, sharp spikes up to 6mm long. Consequently, it can be very painful if these burrs are stepped on!

On ripening, the burr splits into 5 wedges, each with 4 spikes and up to 4 seeds. With up to 1000 fruit being produced per plant, that is up to 20,000 seeds per plant, viable for 5 years!! Caltrop is native to the Mediterranean region, and some parts of Africa and Asia.

Among the Pigeons, why our cats belong indoors.

John L Read, 2019. Wakefield Press, Mile End SA

o, why keep cats indoors?

S During the last century, global domestic cat numbers rocketed past 200 million. Hundreds of

thousands of diseased, injured, malnourished or simply unwanted cats are euthanised every year by despondent animal welfare workers. Misplaced sentimentality, sometimes promoted by cat food companies, has exacerbated this situation through promoting irresponsible feeding of strays.

Ecologist and author John Read has travelled the world consulting cat experts and collating the most recent science. In Among the Pigeons he balances the allure of indoor cats with the animal welfare, human health and conservation issues they create when allowed to roam. But he also presents solutions, from breeding ideal indoor pet cats to development of humane tools to control feral cats.

In striking parallel to the repercussions of humaninduced climate change, warnings about the damage wrought by free -ranging cats have been largely denied or overlooked. But we ignore these issues at our peril.

For our own mental health and the endangered wildlife worldwide, time is running out.

MAYO Non-Government Schools Unscathed By Funding Change and Catholic schools in Mayo will not Inewndependent be adversely affected by the Federal Government’s funding model for non-government schools

based on parents' income, according to local MP Rebekha Sharkie.

The Federal Member for Mayo, who supported the legislation enacting the methodology, said she had received assurances from the Government that the vast majority of schools in the electorate would not be penalised financially, based on confidential modelling.

“Given my knowledge of the non-government schools in Mayo, I am confident that these changes, if approved by the Senate, will create positive funding outcomes for all 19 of our non-government schools,” Rebekha said.

“Not all non-government schools are wealthy schools from leafy inner suburbs.

“A number of students in non-government schools in Mayo are on School Cards, a long-running South Australian initiative to support students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.

“Many families, often one-income families, want their children to be taught in a faith-setting or with different learning styles that suit the specific needs of their children, for example, the Montessori, Waldorf or Steiner models.”

The new funding methodology uses de-identified family taxation data to calculate the capacity of a non -government school community to contribute to the

Yankalilla

Family Pharmacy Ph 8558 3254 107 Main South Road 9am-5.30pm Monday-Friday 9am-12.30pm Saturday

cost of schooling.

The new approach has been recommended by the National Schools Resourcing Board, a key component of the Gonski education reforms of the last Parliament that was negotiated by Centre Alliance.

“Centre Alliance played a critical role in bringing in the major Gonski education reforms and a needsbased funding model for Australian schools,” Rebekha said.

“I am the Education Spokesperson for Centre Alliance and we successfully advocated for more funding and more immediate funding for schools.

“We negotiated for Australian Schools to receive $23.5 billion over the next 10 years, $4.9 billion above the Government's original $18.6 billion proposal.

“We negotiated for underfunded Australian schools to reach their new funding targets within six years rather than the Government’s 10-year proposal.

“We also advocated for the National Schools Resourcing Board to improve the funding methodology, with benchmarks for State and Territory Governments so they pay their share of education funding.

“A key recommendation from the Board was that the socioeconomic status scores for non-government schools should be calculated on the capacity of school families to contribute to the cost of education rather than area-based calculations.

Great Gift Ideas Health, Beauty & Gift items

discount prescriptions

“The reason that this is important is that many families make enormous sacrifices to send their children to a non-government school and are not as wealthy as the average resident in the school’s area.

This can often be because the family lives outside the area.

“I know that this is particularly true in my electorate of Mayo, where families often live in outlying rural areas and townships and send their children to the larger towns where non-government schools are more often based.”

Mayo has 19 non-government schools including: Galilee Catholic School, Aldinga St Francis de Sales College, Mount Barker St Catherine's School, Stirling Encounter Lutheran College, Victor Harbor Investigator College, South Coast Lobethal Lutheran School, Lobethal Mount Barker Waldorf School, Mount Barker St Michael's Lutheran School, Hahndorf The Hills Christian Community School, Verdun The Hills Christian Community School, Oakbank Tyndale Christian School, Strathalbyn Willunga Waldorf School, Willunga Cornerstone College, Mount Barker Tatachilla Lutheran College, McLaren Vale Domino Servite College, Mount Torrens Southern Vales Christian College, Aldinga St Mark's Lutheran School, Mount Barker The Hills Montessori School, Aldgate Wairoa Campus, Aldgate.

Gretchen’s Farewell 12/9/1930 - 22/2/2020

T

hank you to everyone who came along to farewell Gretchen, especially those who travelled a good distance to do so. It was a wonderful celebration of her life.

Gretchen didn’t much like going to funerals because she didn’t like to cry, but if she was there, I’m sure she would have shed a tear but mainly she would have laughed and laughed, it truly was a celebration. So thank you to everyone who helped to make this day truly special, she would have loved it and would have sung along to the music. I can’t mention everybody’s name here but you know who you are.

The last two or three weeks were very difficult for us all and I would like to acknowledge and thank our beautiful friends who took the time from their

own busy lives to prepare and drop daily meals in for us, the palliative care nurses Margot and Linda who ensured that we were connected to all of the relevant services and that we had absolutely every piece of equipment that we needed all in super quick time - you were all a godsend to us.

Also Dr. Kin Lau from SFFP who came to check on mum at home early one morning and invited us to contact him at any time if there was anything at all that we needed.

Thanks too go to Emma from our local Normanville chemist who also invited us to contact her or Geoffrey any time day or night if there was anything at all that we needed, and Bruce Spilsbury who came to our house at the drop of a hat to certify documents that we urgently needed.

Finally I’d like to thank Endeavour Funerals in Yankalilla. Alistair and Cathy were so generous with their kindness, compassion and especially with their care of and for mum, after she went into their care. Alistair helped and supported us throughout preparations for the ceremony, nothing was too much for Endeavour funerals and I would highly recommend them. We are truly blessed to live in such a caring community.

Again, we thank every single person who attended and those who couldn’t be there but sent heartfelt condolences for making mum’s farewell a day to remember.

Yankalilla Ladies Probus Club Inc. February Meeting

Demystifying the Defibrillator

T

hirty three members enjoyed a very sociable and informative morning at our February meeting followed by lunch at Normanville Hotel for those who chose to attend.

The club has some really interesting and informative speakers scheduled, and our speaker today was no exception.

Jon Jaensch is a volunteer Ambulance Officer based in Yankalilla. Jon explained that, while volunteer ambulance officers were withdrawn from Adelaide and major centres in the 1990’s and replaced with paid workers, there are still 80 stations in South Australia staffed exclusively by volunteers. Yankalilla Station is staffed by a group of 23 volunteers and see on average, 900 cases a year through the station. No doubt many of our members recognised Jon on sight, having been assisted by him in the past!

Defibrillator units are appearing at many places within the community – there is one on the outside wall of the Council offices for example – and in the event of sudden cardiac failure, they can save lives. It can be a scary thing if you are the person who has to “do something! ”in an emergency.

Jon’s advice is to take heart from the words “if you don’t do anything the person in need has no help, if you do something, they have a chance”.

These units really are foolproof – think about it, they have to be,

knowing that anyone may be called on to use it, not just trained professionals. The units talk to you giving instructions on what to do, when. Most importantly, they will not give a shock unless they detect that the patient’s heart has a “shockable rhythm”. I know that a fear expressed by many is that they might send a shock to a heart and do more damage than good. That is really not possible with these clever units so if – heaven forfend – you have to use one in an emergency, try to be calm, carry on and trust in the technology. It really is that good.

We have informative speakers, interesting visits and activities throughout the year and fun meetings followed by lunch (if you wish) eleven months of the year. Visitors are always welcome. March is a little different. Being our AGM there is no speaker, but there will be a trading table with lots of goods at great prices, and plenty of good company.

We meet at 10am on the 4th Wednesday of every month (except December) at Yankalilla Community Church Hall.

‘The Olives’ – first house in the ‘first’ main street of Yankalilla illiam Richard Sharrad (1815W 1893) came to South Australia on the ship Baboo in 1848 after his

first wife died; he left his young daughter Eliza in England in the care of her two aunts. William met Anne Carter on the ship and they married in Adelaide soon after arrival. An early landowner soon after settlement of the new colony, Sharrad acquired 100 acres of land south of Adelaide and began wheat farming. He started building his house on Salt Creek Road, believing it would be in the main street of the new town of Yankalilla. But the bureaucrats of Westminster thought it inappropriate to site a town on a salty creek, so they moved the location into the next valley to take advantage of the fresh waters of Bungala Creek. William Sharrad’s house, ‘The Olives’, was the first house on the street.

William, Anne and their family of six children lived in the old section of ‘The Olives’ – a ‘mud and pug’ construction using locally-collected rocks and river clays to build walls 450mm thick. Foundations were rudimentary and the whole construction sat on constantly moving Bay of Biscay soils.

Thomas Bowyer, his wife Rebecca, and seven children, arrived in the colony from England aboard the Norman in 1855. A son, Henry, worked for William Sharrad, whose property adjoined the Bowyers at Salt Creek. Henry married Eliza Sharrad in the early 1860s and they moved to the present Bowyer property at Wattle Flat, where Henry began making bricks in a kiln dug into the bank of a creek near suitable clay, puddling the clay by treading it by foot. As demand increased, a horsedrawn puddling machine was installed.

William Sharrad did well from his farming, which allowed him in 1859 to extend the original dwelling and construct the present imposing neoGeorgian front section of ‘The

Olives’ cottage. This section features two large rooms with 12-foot ceilings, with a cellar and storerooms below. Built of local freestone with sand stock brick porch corner piers, and window surrounds and chimneys, a feature of this house is the porch with round arches to the sides and front entrance door and a threecentred arch to the front. The steps and landing are of Willunga slate, the roof of corrugated iron and the windows with fine glazing bars.

In the 1860s about 200 olives trees were planted as a windbreak.

By 1871 William Sharrad had acquired 320 acres in the district.

After William Sharrad died at Norwood on 14 February 1893, aged 78, and was buried the Yankalilla Christ Church Anglican Cemetery.

The Olives had a succession of owners until it fell into disrepair around the time of the Second World War. Windows were smashed, doors removed and floors collapsed, and cows sheltered from the weather in the kitchen.

By 1975 the building was in danger of collapse when it was discovered by architect Sir Eric von Schramek and his interior-designer wife, Edith.

They developed a restoration plan that involved digging a deep trench around the building to divert water from its foundations and the construction of a huge beam in the cellar to minimise potential for movement.

The von Schrameks nurtured the building until 2005 when the present owners Mark and Wendy Day purchased the 1.5 acre property, excised from its surrounding farmland in 1975, but surrounded by a well-established English-style garden enveloped by the olive trees that still produce fruit which is pressed into a unique and flavoursome oil.

An example of an unusual design of an agricultural dwelling, the building's history and subsequent

restoration has bestowed on ‘The Olives’ a National Trust heritage status.

Advised by Heritage SA, Mark and Wendy embarked on further restoration, replacing the roof and repairing brick and stone work.

Acrylic paints were removed to make way for heritage-approved lime wash – a mixture of slaked lime, water and skimmed milk which allows the stone and mortar to ‘breathe’.

In 2007 the Days acquired an adjacent 2.5acre paddock which returned the property to its original size of four acres. The garden has been enhanced, with additional trees chosen for their autumnal displays and numerous other features, including a lily pond draped in wisteria.

‘The Olives’ was part of the Open Gardens South Australia in December 2017.

Yankalilla Memorial Park t the last meeting The A Yankalilla Memorial Park discussed the one-way traffic issue.

Due to numerous concerns we have decided to revert back to only going one way, when there is a home football/netball game. At all other times either way is acceptable.

We stress to all users of the Memorial Park that the 10km per hour must be adhered to so that we can provide a safe shared zone for all users of the Memorial Park.

The Yankalilla Memorial Park is a shared zone and we must respect that there are many users (young and old) using these facilities.

If the safety and welfare of any users of the Memorial Park are compromised in any way the Yankalilla Memorial Park will need to review the one-way traffic issue again.

Yankalilla and Districts Community Men's Shed

he Men's Shed held a sausage sizzle at Bunnings, Seaford on Sunday 8th March. The sausage sizzles are a very important part of fund raising for the Shed and enables the purchase of consumables (timber, screws, glue etc) for use by members on various projects. Special thanks to those members who made themselves available to work at the sausage sizzle.

From 25th March, the Shed will extend its opening hours on Wednesdays so that members can attend from 1pm. These additional hours will allow members more time to work on their various projects. Our thanks to Roy for making these extra hours possible.

Our former President, Chris, has been busy designing and making unique rolling pins (pictured) for sale to the public.

Members will be aware of the need for particular care with personal hygiene whilst the coronavirus issues remain with us.

Prospective members are always welcome to call in to the Shed for a chat over a cup of coffee or tea. This

provides an opportunity to meet members and to also witness the activities carried out at the Shed.

The Shed opens on Tuesday and Friday mornings, and also opens on Wednesdays from 1pm.

Enquiries concerning the Men's Shed may be directed to Phil Morecroft on mobile 0417.300.901 or by email to yankalilla@mensshed.org.
