The Rotary Club of Yankalilla Presents SHANNONS Yankalilla Cruise - 16 November 2014 Cruisin’ Classic Cars, Hot Rods and Rock’n’Roll

O

nce again the Rotary Club of Yankalilla is proud to present the Annual SHANNONS Yankalilla Cruise on 16 November 2014 on the Yankalilla Memorial Oval. The Yankalilla Cruise Team has been hard at work organising this event for several months now, and it’s shaping up to be not just a fabulous day, but a fabulous weekend of fun and activity!

The Cruise is designed primarily for Classic Cars, Custom Classic Cars, Hot Rods ‑ anything with a chrome bumper of the pre 1980 era. If you wish to enter your vehicle, there are no entry forms or time limits to park. The idea is for this fabulous event to be accessible for both spectators and enthusiasts alike. The entry fee is only $15 per vehicle or $5 per person if you enter without a vehicle (children under 14 free), payable at the Oval gate. Only Classic Cars, Custom Classic Cars and Hot Rods will be allowed to park on the Oval. Check out the great posters around the district – some businesses even have a few to give away as souvenirs. This year’s poster has a sponsors’ business directory on the back.

We are pleased to announce our Free Sneak Peek Saturday (from 1pm to 5pm): come along and try out the dance floor to the toe-tapping music of Raunchy Sugar. There will also be a mini-cruise along the Carrickalinga coastline from 2:00-2:30pm.

On Saturday night (15 November) there will be a Rock & Roll Dinner Dance at Wirrina Resort featuring the fabulous band Peter Trilbrook & Party Cats Trio.

Cost is $15 for show only, $45 Dinner & Show. Please contact Wirrina to book (08 8598 2400). The Wild Ones will be appearing at the Yankalilla Hotel on Friday 14 November from 8pm until late.

As in previous years, the Cruise will leave from Castle Plaza at 10am, and there are many viewing opportunities along the way, including along the Southern Expressway Bike Track and other parts of Main South Road (especially the parking bays at Sellicks Hill). The best place to be, of course, will be on the Yankalilla Oval for a close up look at these magnificent vehicles. Cars will start arriving at the oval from about 10am onwards.

Prepaid entrance tickets for Cruise vehicles will be available at Castle Plaza on the morning of the Cruise and also at the Wirrina Rock & Roll Dinner Dance on Saturday night.

At the oval, live bands on the Foodland Stage will provide entertainment throughout the day. DJ/MC Jess will be there, and so will the two fantastic bands: Peter Tilbrook & Party Cats Trio and Raunchy Sugar, who will provide great music for your enjoyment. Bring your friends, put on your dancin’ shoes and dance the day away on super-sized undercover dance floor. There will be licenced bar facilities, stalls, displays,

and food, food, food! Local service and sporting clubs will provide all manner of food and beverages. Rotary will be offering its delicious steak sandwiches, and other barbecue food, and also our legendary donuts. With the assistance of the District Council of Yankalilla, we are once again able to provide a Bouncy Castle for the kids to play on free of charge, and Helivista will be available for Scenic Helicopter Tours at affordable prices. We will also have PIT STOP on site again (secret Men’s Business! – if you are curious, check out our website). There will also be an assortment of vintage caravans on display.

Local residents, of course, don’t have far to go to get to the Oval, but if you live outside of our beautiful area, Yankalilla is not that far from Adelaide or Victor Harbor and it’s a pleasant drive with very picturesque scenery. We hope to see you there.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each and every sponsor supporting the Cruise this year.

Without the wonderful and generous support provided by sponsors the event could not go ahead. We have been fortunate in gaining sponsorship right across the local and wider community, from SHANNONS Insurance, Wirrina R e s o rt , Th e C o u rt h o u s e C af é , Yankalilla Hotel, Eastside Automotive, to all manner of businesses, local and outside of our district, and our own District Council of Yankalilla. You will

find our sponsors listed on our poster, so please check them out and support them!

We are always looking for volunteers to assist us on the day (and before and after!), so if you are willing and able, we would be extremely pleased and grateful for your assistance (and you get free entry!).

Funds raised by local service and sporting groups find their way back into community projects, so please support this great weekend of fun and entertainment.

Follow us on Facebook (lots of wonderful photos of previous Cruises) or visit the website for more i n f o r m a t i o n : www.yankalillacruise.com.

So, mark the 16th November on your calendars and get set to join us and have a wonderful time…

Cruise on Down to the Yankalilla Memorial Oval for the SHANNONS Yankalilla Cruise!

t is sometimes difficult to meet new people when you first arrive in a community. My husband and I have only lived in Yankalilla for two and a half years and since I have been teaching art from my studio at home, as well as being involved in community projects, I have met a lot of friendly people, particularly in the art community which I have found to be extensive in this region. If you are an artist who is new to the area, a sculptor or crafts person, an

established artist in the community or simply a lover of art, and would like to meet up with other creative members of the community, join us in a gathering of like minds for drinks and nibbles in the relaxed atmosphere of the new Court House Cocktail Bar in Normanville.

The gathering will be on Friday 14th November at 5.00pm.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Editor’s Comments

ello Readers, It’s not far from Christmas and the summer heat now.

November has a lot of stuff happening around the area and the main event for the month is undoubtedly the Yankalilla Cruise. Brought to you

by Shannons and Yankalilla Rotary Club, there will be a whole weekend worth of entertainment. See page 2 for details.

The ‘battle’ over the Yankalilla Library looks to be finally over this month. The existing library will close on 21st November but on the same day, the new community library will open at ‘The Centre’ just a few hundred meters down the road. If you are a library user, you should get along to the official opening to see how it looks. See page 6 for all the specific details.

Festival Fleurieu is building momentum for the 2015 event. See page 7 for the latest progress.

What else? Lots of letters to the editor! Including all the usual suspects… religion, real estate, politics, library… and a few nice ones too.

The next issue is Christmas/New Year and I don’t need to remind you to get your adverts and items in early… do I? Until next issue...

Cheers, Paul Jelfs - Editor

Due Date for December 2014 issue is 15th November 2014 NOTE: The December issue runs until mid-January.

n Saturday 11th October the Fleurieu West Business Association (FWBA) held a fundraising Cabaret at the Over 50’s Club. A glass of bubbly and nibbles were available on arrival and the delicious 3 Course Dinner that followed later in the evening was supplied by the Courthouse and was up to their usual excellent standard.

The Band was everything that was promised and more.

The combination of musicians and a vocalist under the name of “Chairman of the Board” a 6 piece Sinatra Cover Band played many old favourites and had toes tapping and guests dancing the night away.

The FWBA ran a raffle with great prizes many generously donated by local businesses. Funds raised will be used to cover the cost of installation of further poles to continue their great initiative of a pole trail.

Poles are decorated by local artists and the cost of the poles and installation is covered by the FWBA. When

completed the trail will extend throughout our district.

Excitement is brewing; ideas are stewing

F

estival Fleurieu enters the next stage. Event registration closed in October paving the way for drafting the programme, fine-tuning events and r e n e w i n g t h e w e b s i t e (www.festivalfleurieu.com.au). Events for culinary and carnival, community and ideas, the arts and our artists have been registered for April 11-19th 2015. More about these in December.

Four key words for November are: doors, trees, music and volunteers.

Volunteers are needed for many aspects of the Festival Fleurieu (FF). Contact the Coordinator, Jill Langford to talk over what you could contribute: 0414 824 885 Musicians of voice and instrument are invited for both the street carnival opening and other events: individuals, groups contact Jill as above.

Tree lovers and local artists may be inspired by the Festival Tree Trail: an environmental, cultural, historical and artistic celebration of trees.

Can you help us with a register of significant trees or tree plantings?

As well as including significant local trees, the Tree Trail beckons you to find creative ways to engage community with trees. Do you have a living or dead tree in mind that could become a tree sculpture, a tree cubby, a poetry tree, musical tree, Tree of Life, in fact any kind of tree installation you can dream up.

From the 1st of November our ‘Tree Trail Fleurieu Festival 2015’ Face Book page will be up and running with ideas and initiatives to inspire.

Please contact Marg Easson, Richard Smith or Judith Sweetman to register your ideas and read more about what's already hatching.

Email:artingaround@icloud.com Doors: Painted, colourful, designed especially for the festival, placed strategically, are a key element in the streetscape around the Western Fleurieu during the festival. Contact Barb Pettigrew: 0416 110 806 to donate or paint and design a door: • -designs need to be relevant to the festival celebrations or environment in which they are placed.

• -assistance will be available in coming up with ideas or designs for your door.

• -brightly coloured acrylic or house paint can be used with a final coat of polyurethane for weather proofing.

• -A meeting will be held in early February next year to decide on placement of doors in approved, safe positions.

t our last meeting we had the pleasure of welcoming Emma from our local Normanville Pharmacy who spoke to us on two topics. The first was osteoporosis and the second incontinence. It was a very informative and interesting talk on two topics that affect a lot of people. Incontinence is not often discussed; it is more one of those ‘embarrassing’ problems that we tend to put up with as we age. We learnt a great deal from Emma’s talk and we were made aware that incontinence is common (especially for women after childbirth) and help is available. The message was - Talk to your pharmacist and/or your doctor – don’t feel embarrassed. We were also reminded to

Responsible Service of Alcohol Certificate required.

Position to be negotiated.

Please submit applications in writing, with references and resume, addressed to the: Vice President Yankalilla Football Club PO Box 816, Normanville SA 5204 Applications to be submitted before: Wednesday 26th November, 2014.

Yankalilla Football Club

he Football season has finished for another year. Whilst not the best season on the field, we have had a great group of players, coaches and volunteers supporting the club all year. A special thank you must go to all the volunteers who have helped out in roles, big and small. A special mention goes to John Harvey our inaugural ‘Kev Jacka Volunteer of the Year’ recipient. In saying this, just because there isn’t a game being played each weekend doesn’t mean things aren’t still busy around the Club.

There has been a lot of effort in rejuvenating the change rooms in the last few months, this has included new flooring, lighting, painting and a meeting room. This has been able to happen because of a lot of hard work from players and volunteers, the generosity of suppliers and some fundraising organized by the players.

There has also been the donation of some much needed gym equipment which is being put to hard work already by players already in ‘preseason’.

At the clubrooms, we are also open every Friday night for meals and bar facilities are available. We are also proud to support the Yankalilla Cruise being held at the Oval on Sunday the 16th November (with sneak peak on the Saturday 15th).

The Club will have the bar available on these days, as well as food facilities, including wood oven pizzas.

On administration issues, we have our AGM being held at the clubrooms on Tuesday, 11th November at 7pm.

All interested parties are encouraged to attend.

L e t t e r s Fact or Fiction?

I

n the last edition of this newsletter Peter Stow -Smith made the statement that “The resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ are proven facts”. This means that firstly Jesus died and then came back to life and secondly his physical body rose upward into the clouds. Sorry Peter but this is just too much to ignore.

The resurrection and ascension are no more proven facts than talking snakes, talking donkeys, original sin, walking on water, the existence of god, water into wine, feeding 5,000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes, raising people from the dead, parting the red sea, global foods, healing leprosy with dead birds, creating the universe in 6 days, non consuming burning bushes, walking on water, stopping the sun, turning into a pillar of salt, fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah, angels, living for 600 years, manna from heaven etcetera.

Back to the ascension. Can you imagine watching a person literally take off into the sky like a rocket but without any form of propulsion? And where would he go, the ionosphere, mesosphere or outer space? If the ascension is proven fact I can’t wait to see the proof. I hope that the proof is real evidence not just more religious non sense. Please don’t say the proof of ascension is that 11 disciples witnessed it. Fiction does not prove fiction.

Here is some information that is not proven fact but is supported by significant evidence, has been tested by numerous experts and is widely supported by scientists in a variety of fields.

1 / t h e r e a r e a b o u t 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe each of which may have planets revolving around them. (supposedly god made these in one day and for no other reason than decoration) 2/ the universe is about 13,500, 000,000 years old. (or about 3000 years if you believe the bible) 3/ the earth is about 4,500,000,000 years old 4/ man in a recognizable form is about 200,000 to 250,000 years old.

Now the Judeo Christian god has only been interested in the human race for about 3000 years and then all his attention was focused on the Middle East region. The bible reflects the knowledge and experience of the primitive

people of that age. These people thought the earth was flat, had little or no understanding of about volcanoes, earth quakes, what caused day and night or the seasons, light, sound, germs, infection, disease, atoms, molecules, tides, anatomy and just about anything in the natural world that affected their lives. As many as 2000 gods were invented to explain these mysteries and to give people some sense of control over their existence. Human sacrifice to appease the gods was not uncommon. As the mysteries of life were unraveled most of these gods fell away but a few still remain. The last few gods have big thick books written about them that are filled with stories plagiarized from other religions and gods. Hopefully people will soon see sense and these last few gods will disappear leaving the world a much better place to live in.

Peter Stow Smith also states that ‘we have all sinned and come short of Gods glory’. I would encourage everybody to totally reject the idea that we are all sinners. We are not all bad, or mad awful sinners who can only be saved by Jesus. This is the vile Christian view of humanity. People are fallible and make mistakes but by and large people are good. If you think about it a little bit more widely Peter your religion is mainly determined by where you were bore. If you were born in Iran you would be Muslim and according to the Christian faith you would be doomed to hell. It is religion that divides people and it is no coincidence that the Middle East is where most of the world’s trouble is, the very place where your god focused all his attention. Just imagine how different things would be if god the almighty land agent didn’t promise real estate to the Jews.

Religious sales technique is simple, develop fear and exploit it for all its worth.

Think positive, people are generally good; they raise good children and treat people with respect.

You have one and only one life, that’s enough, so enjoy it while you can. p.s. the insanity of religion is displayed by the Christadelphian bible students with their Armageddon madness. They will be so disappointed when the world doesn’t end, again!

Seems we have our very own doomsday cult up there on Normanville heights.

Thoughts about our area

W

estern Fleurieu? What is the future for our youth? Farm holdings are reducing in size. Should we be looking to bio fuel as a cash crop as we have such a high rainfall? And the need is growing. Should we promote eco tourism? How do we improve the off-season trade and the down turn? Should we promote more farm gate activities, as they are an out of season draw card? Should the Festival be annual so we secure our place in the festival circuit and maintain continuity. Do we look to draw on the whole peninsula’s talent as to draw bigger crowds? Should we look to winter extreme sports such as down hill tournaments as a tourism attraction? Why does Melrose hold MTB the crown? Should we create artificial reefs outside the Park Zone to encourage more anglers? Should we lengthen the jetty to allow charter boats to elite. Picking up day fishers and dropping of tourists. Should we exclude jet ski’s from the main beach? Like stay south of the river 300m of shore. The main thing is what employment options are there? And how do we enhance what we have got and how to create new ones?

Just food for thought.

hy is it that folks move to live or holiday in our beautiful rural areas to enjoy the views, the stunning trees, bushland and the lifestyle but the first thing they seem to do when they buy or build, is chop down the trees then put up ugly colourbond fences?

This not only destroys their views but more importantly everyone else's views. I can understand that people may want their privacy and keep small children and pets in but why not the post and wire fences planted with vines and shrubs. These not only enhances the look of their environment but is home and food source to our little native birds and animals.

I have lately seen so many of our pretty little rural towns ruined by ugly high colourbond fences.

Just found a great Take Away/Dine in Café

recently tried a new Take Away Dine-in Cafe in Normanville and was very impressed. Just could not fault it. That in itself is rare these days!

The range of food, brightness and cleanliness of the cafe, value for money and not least of all the friendliness of the owners, who have only been there for 6 weeks is something that you should try. No more soggy greasy fish and chips!!

They've got me. The place in question? 'Good Time A Day' right next to the Real Estate office in the Mitre 10 complex. Nearly forgot, their coffee is very good too! Take my advice, give them a go and you will agree with me!

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

trading. It has been a wonderful seven years starting in a very small shop next to what is now Caffe on Bungala. It was there that our BookKids Club originated, It ran for five years thanks to my friend Kay Lewis who religiously came in prepared with stories and activities for the children. Just the other day one of the mothers came up to me and said I should be proud as many great friendships had developed between other mothers and fathers in the group, I too cherish their friendship. In 2009 we relocated to the Courthouse building where we had three rooms full of books and gifts and a wonderful space for not only continuing the BookKids, but also hosting many events during the Leafy Sea Dragon Festival. We also hosted author talks and poetry events, fundraisers, School Community Library functions, a 120th birthday party for Agatha Christie and even a wedding for a local business owner. After we moved next to the bakery, we were able to host a party in support of the Tour Down Under.

What I loved the most was the conversation with people just dropping by. And sometimes we even sold books!!

So thank you so much for all your support and friendship. It has been wonderful. I will miss the shop but we are staying in town and I am always happy to join you at one of our local cafes anytime.

Thank you.

L e t t e r s Re Brown Road DPA and William Field Park

I

n his October letter Dr Scragg rightly identifies Carrickalinga Hill as one of the significant features that define the character of Yankalilla Bay. Unfortunately he then goes on to promote a proposal for urban development on the middle and upper slopes of this iconic hill (see photos below) – irretrievably changing the character of the landscape which attracts residents and visitors to the region.

The price of Dr Scragg’s ‘gift’ is approval for substantial development, outside of areas identified for future development in Council’s 30 Year Plan and the State Government’s boundaries for metropolitan Adelaide. This proposed development is not only on the land covered by the current Brown Road rezoning proposal. The ‘gift’ is dependent on further substantial development to the north - well outside of future development areas planned by Council. This gift has long strings.

The cost of Dr Scragg’s ‘gift’ is the loss of the unique rural character of Carrickalinga Township and Yankalilla Bay - the current low lying coastal development with its rural backdrop of coastal hills, the most prominent of these being Carrickalinga Hill.

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

This is the view seen by everyone in the community every day; when they walk Carrickalinga and Normanville Beaches, take the drive to Carrickalinga from Normanville, or travel the roads of Carrickalinga Township.

We can’t argue that it would provide terrific views for the beneficiaries, some 18 houses.

Experience tells us these will be large 2‐ story houses typically occupied some 20% of the time. There will be large cuts to accommodate road works and house sites.

And the rural backdrop will be gone forever.

The comparison to building heights at Carrickalinga Rise is misleading. That development was well planned – set back from the coast so that housing does not appear in the rural backdrop from any well used vantage points. This is not a coastal hill and no comparison can be drawn to development on Carrickalinga Hill.

As residents and ratepayers of Carrickalinga we support planned future growth that protects the nature of our township. Suitable growth areas have been identified which can achieve this outcome. We urge Council to represent our community and reject this proposal.

Yankalilla Library

hree resolutions were passed at the last public meeting about the School Community Library. A Resolution was passed asking the School Community Library Management Board to reconvene and prepare a public statement for the community. The Board, through its chair Cr Louise Allstrom, has not responded.

Two resolutions were passed to be sent to the Yankalilla Area School Governing Council, also with the request to prepare a statement for the public. The first resolution expressed regret at the lack of due process in giving nine months' notice to the District the Council and the community of its decision to cease hosting the library. The second resolution encouraged the School Governing Council to be more open and transparent with issues relating to the wider community in the future. Mr Luke Hutt, as chair of the Governing Council, has responded, in the letter which follows. This response shows that the Governing Council needs to revise its practices as an open, not closed, or secret, public organisation. The practice of denying the public access to its minutes is seen as an indication the members of the Governing Council do not understand what transparency means for a public organisation.

Ruth Trigg Dear Ruth, thank you for taking your time to address this issue with the governing council of Yankalilla Area School and myself.

I am aware of the meetings that have taken place publicly and within the Library Advisory Group, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Advisory group for donating their time and effort to help the community with the task of setting up the new library location.

I am aware that the decision reached by the Governing Council with respect to the shared community library has been unpopular with some within our community. However I strongly

I

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

believe that we have acted with the best interests of the children/students of our local school in mind.

In response to the resolution that the School Governing Council acted without due process with respect to the community library's hand book, I feel that this particular time frame is irrelevant given that we are not closing a library but simply moving it to a new location. One library becoming two does not constitute the closing of a library. I do regret that we did not have the luxury to provide the community with a longer time frame. It was however beyond the capacity of the school to maintain the community library in its current form in 2015.

In response to the resolution regarding the governing council being "more open and transparent to the public with issues relating to the wider community" I will take this criticisms on board. I know that many of the councillors, who volunteer their time on our governing council, have been available to whom ever wanted to ask about this and many other issues.

This has occurred whether it be down the street or in the local shops. I have personally answered many questions, letters and emails on this topic from a wide range of the community. I would also like to point out that we have taken steps to improve the handling of submissions to the governing council, and therefore the ability to provide transparency when appropriate.

In closing I would like to acknowledge that we as a governing council did decide against releasing minutes of meetings relating to library decisions as requested by the YLAG. We were keenly aware of the pressing time frame required to move forward on this issue, and we took the view that this information could not in any way help with that prerogative or in providing any forward progress. I don't make any apology for this move, and I encourage all members of our wonderful local community to help make the most of the new opportunity created by an independent community library.

Books & Words Group

ooks & Words Group presents an end of year treat of music at a twilight picnic; bring your own food and drink for 6pm start November 15.

VICTOR HARBOR CITY BAND PLAYS BROADWAY Many people will be surprised at just how many musical favourites originated from books. This program will be full of such delights. For instance, Les Miserables began as a French novel by Victor Hugo in the nineteenth century and is now a

favourite for stage and film, loved by modern audiences. So too have many of the other choices on the program, beginning as books, been reincarnated as a variety of musical works ranging from Phantom of the Opera, Sound of Music, Paint Your Wagon, to Third Man. And on the list goes with an amazing line-up.

Bring a picnic and bubbly, wine or soft drinks for a twilight picnic to Dzintari Latvian Camp, Willson Drive, Normanville.

Even some locals have never been to this terrific venue with long views out to the sea, and a grassy outdoor area.

The audience will have a chance to

enjoy one of our special local places while listening to great music. There is also a music room as an alternative if it rains, so nothing will stop this popular band.

Its members seem able to turn their skills to many musical fields with a repertoire that ranges far and wide in the musical realm; they bring two vocalists as well, so there will be some songs with familiar words.

This will be a family friendly event. Young music students will especially enjoy such skilled and highly regarded musicians.

Tickets are available from Yankalilla Bay Visitor Information Centre on 8558 0240.

Blooming Out All Over

T

his article could have been titled ‘spring has sprung’ but, this cliché has been heard so much lately that a different heading was deemed just as appropriate.

The flora is again delighting all with vibrant new species bursting from their winter beds and reaching for the sun to show off their beauty for another new season.

The geraniums and pelargoniums as usual are proudly displaying their floral gifts, with some new varieties I added to my garden last season when I pruned the older, existing ones.

There are pinks in varied shades – from pale to dark, then the reds, which all clumped together make a grand sight.

The pink/apricot struggled last season but, has come into its own this year.

Then there are the dark purple that are variegated from a dark cyclamen through to nearly black. Last year, although striking and eye catching they were a tad disappointing, not this year though as they are very pleasing to the eyes.

Of course these are not only floral species as such, green/white with the pink flowers are ideal for the border, the foliage making this particular plant the main attraction.

The spring season is not only beautiful for the flora, but there is all new life among the fauna and avian species as well.

We have always had maggies around our place somewhere, there used to be two families on the block next door residing and raising their families in the gum and sheoak trees.

Over the years the trees were removed and the maggies left for other havens and they did not visit during that time.

However, over the past and present breeding seasons they have returned, not to our trees but somewhere very close.

We can hear the babies calling to their parents.

Much to our delight, as they used to do all those years ago, they have returned to come knocking at our front wire door for food.

We do not encourage them, but we do soften a few dog bites in a bowl with water and go out, whistle to them and throw the offerings down for them.

It is always the father that comes, grabs the food and flies away to their adjacent nest.

This delightful sight is wonderful they share with us, and not once have we been threatened by them when protecting their young. We hope they

by Rox Rosey will continue to visit with us and trust us.

It is not only the birds and flowers that seem to enjoy the light spring weather, our own pets are also relishing the chance to enjoy the warm sun on their coats.

The girls, Camille and Ronnie love nothing better than to be free to roam around the yard and nothing suits them more than to annoy Digger when he is also enjoying the sun. The first inkling we get is to see these two girls skirting the surface of the ground on apparent winged feet to try and grab any of Dig’s food or bone.

Such is spring in our yard, a free kaleido -scope indeed!

Personal Experience Travelling Bible Lands

ast year in the months of January to March my wife and I travelled through Bible lands to places including Italy, Greece, Turkey and Israel. Some people are reticent to travel to Israel because of the possibility of Israel coming under attack whilst they are touring this small but fascinating country. Yes, there are moments of excitement to put it mildly – like the first morning staying on the Golan Heights overlooking the Sea of Galilee. We were at Moshav Golan a working farm co-operative of 478 people on a small hill that falls from the Golan Heights to the beautiful pear shaped Sea of Galilee. We left our log cabin and walked but 10 metres to the chairs outside the communal dining room to pick up the Wi-Fi signal and email home. We had barely put weight on the bench seat when the shrill unmistakable sound of an air raid siren deafened us. To say we were unaccustomed to this sound is an understatement for it was our first raw experience of such a blast. Knowing we were not far from the Syrian border fence and that a ferocious civil war was being fought there, an immediate panic feeling and adrenaline rush came over me. I left my wife and ran around to the owners’ kitchen entrance; violently swung open the security door and almost fell inside. The young woman in her late twenties was at the stove cooking and her infant child was on a rug on the floor. She turned slowly to hear me blurt out ‘where do we go for safety’. With a slight apologetic grin she said in broken English ‘sorry I should have warned you we have a drill for the school children’. Feeling a little sheepish at such a demonstration of fear I more

calmly asked where would my wife and I go if it was for real. She pushed past me and held the door open to beckon me outside. ‘See that pencil pine in the field between the houses; the bunker opening is there’ and then added as though of little consequence, ‘but it is locked’. With relief I returned to my wife who was never half as alarmed as I was and informed her that it was only a drill. She continued with her email. I sat there thinking about these people; the people of Israel and the bible passage in Ezekiel’s prophecy came to mind.

Ezekiel had been given the prophecy of Jewish return to the land in the latter days and he wrote: “they shall dwell confidently’ (Ezekiel 38:8). Yes for 40 years there had been peace on the Golan Heights, since their defeat of Syria who prior to 1967 had rained rockets on their villages for years and now 40 years later they had been lulled into this feeling of security because of their many successful military campaigns. A locked bunker door! Mmm! I wanted to let them all know of the coming years of terrible trouble they are to confront but I felt it would fall on deaf ears. If you want to know what is before them and the outcome read for yourself Ezekiel Chapter 38. If you have any questions let me know.

Can you improve?

It’s an exciting challenge. We get there by our determination to improve.

In 1897 a man named Ford worked in a shed behind his house to build his first car - after which he kept thinking how he could improve it. Three years later he released the famous model T. Fords have since come out with Customlines, Consuls, Escorts, Fairmonts, Falcons, Fairlanes, Mavericks and the classic GT – right down to the mighty turbo charged Mustang.

An inspiration An ambitious young soldier returning from WW2 wanted to be a dairy farmer. He bought some partly cleared land which was cut in half by a deep steep creek – a proper hazard for cows.

He paid earth movers to dam it. The huge dam bank served as a bridge for his cattle and provided lots of water for the farm.

He and his wife then did something incredible. They moved into a nearby shed so that drop outs and homeless teenagers could stay in their house – many of whom were drug addicted.

His wife cooked their meals and washed their clothes. Together, they did all they could to improve

the attitudes of some of society’s battlers. For twenty years or more they put up with all the inconvenience which goes with accommodating such people.

The ideology of this self sacrificing couple was all about improvement – not only improving the farm but also helping others to do better.

Personal advance While it’s exciting to see such phenomenal advances in technology and all the things we use, we need to think about ourselves. We have God given talents and skills which can ever improve. For some, it’s the pursuit of excellence.

But, what about improving our attitudes – more tolerance - less selfishness – ever learning and ever giving – less anger, more trust - character development!

James Allen said, ‘Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.’

What about the others?

My friend not only spent a lot on farm improvements he sacrificed the comfort of his home to help improve things for others.

Some can’t make it by themselves, yet have potential for great things. They need opportunity, inspiration and encouragement.

I was privileged as a work place trainer to help young people acquire skills which helped them make a positive contribution to industry and society.

There’s huge need for improvement in this world of ours. We live in one of its best parts. What can we do to make it better?

Value adding To the Christians of his day the apostle Peter said, ‘… make every effort to add to your faith g o o d n e ss … k n o w l e d g e … s e l f- c o n t r o l … perseverance… godliness…brotherly kindness… and love. It will help you to be effective and productive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ… For if you do these things, you will never fail, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.’

Normanville Sailing Club

he Normanville Sailing Club will be recommencing its sailing season on Sunday November 2nd and will be making its presence known on the Normanville sea front from then until the last Sunday in april 2015.

The club conducts races from 2pm every Sunday afternoon with club members arriving after midday and rigging their boats and preparing for the fun.

We are looking forward to a bumper season full of ‘Goldilocks weather’ (wind just right) as well as

sun and fun on the beach.

We welcome anyone who has an interest in sailing or wishes to learn how to sail.

It is a fun club to be involved with, so if in the area say hello and join the fun if you wish.

People interested in getting involved can contact the Club Secretary (George Reeves, 041734861) or just roll up on any Sunday afternoon.

Yankalilla Men’s Probus Club Caravan Trip

T

he Wagon Master Barry Oats did it again! Another great ‘caravan trip’ of fun and fellowship. Not just in caravans but some members stayed in cabins and villas, having a brilliant time away.

At the Happy Hour on the 16th we had the fun of trying to work out who was in the photos of much younger people than those on the trip. Some

stunners in those photos, it was a great laugh and then we sang happy birthday to Ross Trigg and Kaye Barnes before enjoying their birthday cakes, which were beautifully decorated by Margaret White. We enjoyed trips in groups to Minlaton, Booblacowie, and Innes National Park.

Photo: Dinner at the Stansbury local Hotel was enjoyed by all.

Rapid Bay Play Group

T

he Rapid Bay Play Group has been up and running for over 12 months now – how quickly the time passes us by! However, when you see how much children grow and learn in that time you realize how much is actually happening in their little lives.

We have watched our babies, like Kalani who joined us when she was 9 weeks old and now at 7 months of age is holding herself up and doing lots of observing and smiling as she engages more with what is going on around her. Sage, Lincoln, Princess and Billy have learnt to crawl and then to walk in that time. Liam and Caleb are learning new words and how to interact with other children. Willow is equally comfortable in the playgroup kitchen or playing with the train set, and has developed quite a vocabulary; and Alex knows how to write her name – wow!

The transition happens quickly, and it

is pretty amazing to observe the children as they develop their skills.

Seeing their delight at watching games or joining in at song time is very rewarding and before we know it they are joining in themselves.

The big kids Miller, Madison and Harry have started their school lives and Ava, Jamie and Vinnie their Kindy lives. Luckily we still all get to see each other. We love seeing Lyla and any other children who visit us when they can, and of course we also welcome our newest members Dale, Macy, Rian and Felix.

And last but not least, we are very lucky to have regular visits from some dads and also love seeing the grandmas and aunts who have come along.

The Rapid Bay Playgroup runs on Wednesday mornings 10.00 – 12.00 (during school term times). For more information call 8598 4062

Normanville Natural Resource Centre Saturday 1st November Veggie Swap Thursday 13th November AGM with Chris Daniels Thursday 27th November Local Walk Saturday 6th December Veggie Swap

C

Chris Daniels at our AGM

hris Daniels, Professor of Urban Ecology at the University of South Australia and regular on the ABC radio is giving a presentation on the Biodiversity of our Region.

If you have heard Chris talk on radio you will know what a passionate and motivating speaker he is on science and the environment. He has published nine books including A Guide to Urban Wildlife which is available for loan from the centre.

Join us on Thursday 13th November at 7.00pm at the Normanville Surf Life Saving Club. Please contact the centre on 8558 3644 to book.

in order to • help people understand how different species behave in the vicinity of humans; • give people experience, under controlled conditions, of best-practice methods of working with various species and sizes of venomous snakes; and • ensure that people are apprehensive when learning how to work with venomous snakes, so that they do not take unnecessary risks.

It was amazing to see Red Bellied Black, Brown and a Tiger Snake all in the pit together with a Bearded Dragon, Blue Tongue & Shingle Back Lizard. It certainly dispels the myth that if you have lizards around your house you do not have snakes.

It was also interesting to see 2 or 3 men inside this snake pit walking around with 10 venomous snakes. It highlighted the fact that if snakes are not threatened they are not always aggressive.

A feature of the day were the two Black Headed Pythons that came out and socialised with the crowd. These two were 2 metres long but can grow to a maximum length of 3.5m. Their body is muscular with a flattened profile, while the tail tapers to a thin point. It was very amusing watching people’s reaction to these big snakes even though they are very docile and not venomous.

I would like to say a big Thank You to all the volunteers who have helped with this project. We certainly have achieved a lot in the past month.

Also a huge thanks to James Potter from Dirt Garden Design who is giving us his professional expertise as well as the loan of all his equipment.

Native Coastal Cottage Garden

F

T

Yankalilla Show

he Centre sponsored the Living with Wildlife Snake Pit at the show which proved to be a very popular exhibit.

Geoff Coombes from Living with Wildlife has presented hundreds of talks, courses, workshops and seminars and has trained several thousand people in how to handle venomous snakes, delivering training programs all over Australia as well as overseas.

Live venomous snakes are used in all his presentation and training courses within Australia,

inally the Native Cottage Garden is underway, in fact by the time this magazine hits the streets it should be nearly finished. The NNR Centre received a grant from the NRM Board last year to establish a Native Coastal Cottage Garden in Bungala Park. The garden will promote and encourage the local community with inquiries about suitable native plantings. The project aims to increase skills and understanding of the region’s natural resources including soil choice, water use, native habitats and plant selection.

When established you will be able to meander through the garden and view the beautiful plants that grow well in this area. With lots of flowering plants and a few habitat logs we hope to be able to attract birds and small animals to share the garden with us. Each plant will be identified and a display board will provide more information about size, watering requirements and soil types. If you are interested in being a part of the ongoing maintenance of this garden please contact the centre on 8558 3644.

Yankalilla Regional News - November 2014 - Page 30

Want to know what to plant in your garden?

P

lant Selector, is an online database that allows you to enter your suburb and a variety of options that suit your garden needs. It will then produce a list of suitable plants for your area. The database developed by the Green Infrastructure Project Team at the Botanic Gardens contains over 1,500 trees and other plants suitable for diverse urban environments throughout South Australia.

The plants have been well-researched by a team of horticulturalists and are based on two main criteria; the soil type and landscape type of the planting location. Once you have entered your suburb, you can refine the search further to include many preferences such as shape, flower or seasonal colour, water needs and tolerances.

Give it a try at http:// plantselector.botanicgardens.sa.gov.au/ it is really easy to use and have fun finding some new and interesting plantings.

Weed Of The Month Evening Primrose (Oenothera stricta ssp. stricta) (Photos: C. Schultz, Cape Jervis; opening and withered flowers; flowering plant; base leaves) he evening primrose produces erect flowering spikes most of the year; the 10cm yellow flowers are tubular, with 4 petals and 8 stamens. As the name suggests, flowers open in the evening.

They then redden and wither away the next day as the flower above them on the spike opens. Most of the leaves are at the base, but smaller ones spiral up the flower spike. Both sets of leaves have a pointed tip and wavy edges; however the base leaves are hairless while the leaves on the flower spikes have tiny hairs. The stems themselves are hairy too, and often woody but unbranched. Originally from South America but now naturalized in S.A., the evening primrose is classified as an environmental weed; that is, it invades native ecosystems and adversely affects the survival of indigenous flora and fauna.

Lions Club of Yankalilla Cape Jervis have had another very full month. Those Community Market L ions members who manned the Yankalilla Show

T

he market season at Cape Jervis began in October and will continue on the second Sunday of each month until May. The next market is Sunday 9th November 9am–1pm in and around the Cape Jervis Tavern, Main South Road.

There were several stalls missing due to a family tragic death, health issues and interstate business travel, but these and some new stalls will be at the next market. Original or long-standing stalls include Tilly and her fabric dolls and critters, Mervin’s products made from local timbers, Mal’s beautifully crafted knives, Shari’s baskets and things made from found objects, Heather with a new range of products, including soy candles made in recycled containers with wine bottles a feature, Anastasia’s delicious baked goodies, Aaron’s worm products and worm farms, Kerren’s sauces and pickles, Jodie’s liver pet treats, The Pirates Chest seafood, products from the Whistling Pig Farm (not yet pork but soon). Other products expected but not confirmed include dream catchers and plants.

The sausage sizzle, Fair Trade coffee and slushies will be available.

Make a day of it and explore some of the wonders of the area – Morgan’s Beach, the Heysen Trail, Rapid Bay, Deep Creek Conservation Park, Second Valley Beach. On the way to the Cape or back, check out the community art on the wall at Delamere.

Our intrepid Sheep Shot collectors and baggers outdid themselves and (we thought) overstocked our shed but our customers’ demand outstripped our oversupply.

In late October a Lions 4WD rally will bring approximately 400 people to our area, these rallies have been becoming increasingly popular.

At our last Dinner meeting we had the pleasure of a slide show of their tour of USA by Tony and Jan Philp, ‘oh no not another slide night’ we all thought but no, it wasn’t just another slide show, Alistaire Cook – move over. Anyone who can equate Los Angeles as being ‘ like Adelaide on steroids’ –and get away with it deserves applause.

At the same evening four Lions received service awards: Jim Martin, his Lifetime Membership Award. Greg Dunn, for 20years service, Geoff Patterson also for 20 years service and Brian Dedicoat his belated membership badge.

Yankalilla Show 2014

he 132nd Yankalilla Show was a great success. Great weather and lots to see and do. Thank you to everyone who came & enjoyed the Show. We had a record number of people attend along with a record number of trade stalls and great attractions, thanks to the hard work of a very dedicated team of committee and volunteers.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to exhibit in any of the show sections we had such a great selection to display, congratulations to those who won a prize.

We are looking for someone to fill the role of secretary so that we can continue to present this great community event. If you think this could be you please contact Show president Emanda Fretwell by email: e.fretwell@bigpond.com.

If you have any ideas or suggestions

for the Show the best way to make them happen is to join the committee. The AGM is Tuesday 18th Nov at 8.00pm in the supper room (smaller hall) at the showgrounds or you can put forward your ideas in writing to PO box 215 Yankalilla.

Thank you also to the Yankalilla Council especially the ground workers who, along with volunteers make sure our showgrounds look great. A lot of people assume that the showgrounds are council owned but they are actually owned by the show society, it is a huge responsibility to maintain these grounds. The annual show is the major way we gain the funds to continue to hold the next show and maintain the grounds year round so, thank you, to our great community for all the support you give.

The Road Awaits There is a stirring in my chest I feel a whisper in the air Something moves beneath my skin My restless gaze, on distant hills With boots growing mouldy, beneath the bed Hands flexing for their weathered leather, The heart quickens with a low rumble, When gleaming pistons breathe again, Stroking with their promised power, a mighty heart of silver steel.

Standing by an open gate, strapping on a visored helmet.

With feet tingling from nearby rumble, Ears soothed by the muted melody.

The air is crisp, clear and scented, Laden with dawning spring and dusty Summer.

Endless tracks and new horizons, twist and turn through wooded hills.

Fresh snow melting’s tumble and splash, over boulder strewn creeks and winding rivers.

The mountains and the valleys echo and reflect, A passing storm of rolling thunder.

No time to tarry, no time to wait The road awaits, its ventures calling Winters slumber is no more New adventures, lie and wait roads and vistas, life a-dawning.

With sunset breaking light of day, and still that mighty heart of steel pounds its rhythm of power and speed.

A single stabbing lance of light, carves a path though moonlit night.

And when nocturnal silence returns, that thundering melody on drifts of misty night….. fades and echoes to the morning light. © By Paul Harvey. 16.10.2014

or the early settlers a dairy cow or two was a necessity. Milk, cream, butter and cheese were used in the home, and any surplus was exchanged for produce not provided by the farm. The dairy was a cellar or room on the cool side of the house where milk was placed in large pans to allow the cream to rise. This was skimmed off and, with the aid of a hand operated churn, was made into butter.

Early dairy cattle appear to have been based on the English Shorthorn breed, an animal suitable for both milk and beef production, as well as being large enough for draught purposes. After the turn of the century the Shorthorn Jersey cross became popular for dairying.

As early as 1842 butter and cheese were exported from South Australia. Several dairy farms were established throughout this district but the return was insufficient and most dairy farms were abandoned in favour of mixed farms.

“Devonshire Farm”, between Normanville and Carrickalinga, was leased by Edwin Davey from 1877 and purchased by him in 1903. With the help of his four sons and seven daughters one hundred cows were milked, producing around 500 pounds of butter for sale in Adelaide each week. By the turn of the century several dairy factories had been set up, the Dingo Factory at Springbank (near Hay Flat), a factory at Lovely Valley (the site now covered by the waters of the Myponga Reservoir) and another in Inman Valley, at the foot of the Bald Hills, to name three.

The Bald Hills Dairy Factory was one of the best of its kind in the south. At the start, cheese was its only product, butter being produced a little later on.

The products during one twelve-month period were 67,704lbs of cheese, 8,982 pounds of butter and 92,572 gallons of milk. Some of the families who supplied the factory were the Nosworthys, Kellys, Mayfields, Dennis’s and Hurrells. When the company became insolvent in the 1890s the building was used as the residence of the Sweetman family and was the location of the Bald Hills Post Office until it was sold by tender for demolition.

The Lovely Valley Factory was built by Southern Co-operative Produce Pty. Ltd. in 1892 but closed after a short period of operation.

In 1921 the Yankalilla Butter Factory began operating, but was burned down in 1925.

In the 1930-59 period milking by hand was gradually replaced by machines. The first machines milked a single cow into a bucket, then several cows were milked at the same time, the milk being piped into a 10 gallon can. Eventually, rotary dairies with a slowly revolving platform capable of

carrying up to 50 cows which were milked in one revolution, came into use. Incorporated with these were new machines with hot and cold water under pressure, for cleaning purposes, and automatic feeding for the cows.

In the Myponga district milk vendors were buying milk for distribution in Adelaide, however the returns were unsatisfactory. In July 1936 about 20 dairy farmers met to consider the possibility of forming a co-operative society to receive and market their milk. A week later the co-operative was formed at a meeting attended by 50 milk producers. Forty-two producers promised to subscribe for shares in the Society, the State Bank agreed to finance the building of a suitable factory, and the plans and specifications were drawn up.

The factory was officially opened by Sir Herbert Hudd, member for Alexandria, and began operating on 23rd August, 1937.

Once the factory was operating the disposal of whey and waste became a problem. To overcome this a piggery was established, with pipelines taking the whey from the factory. With the completion of the Myponga Reservoir in 1962, the use of the pipelines had to be discontinued. The piggery was bought and closed down by the Engineering and Water Supply Department.

Modern machinery has cut down the dairy farmer’s workload, enabling one man to handle a larger number of cows. Herds in excess of 100 cows are now common. The milking done, and piped into a ten gallon can, the can sits at the roadside ready for the early morning pick up.

The Yankalilla Historical Society meets on the second Monday of the month at 8pm in The Centre, Main South Road. Our next meeting will be on Monday, 10th November. On Wednesday mornings one of our members will be in attendance in the Yankalilla Library, at its new site in The Centre, between 10am and noon.

We officially open our newest school structure which the students have built by hand

O

n Friday 7 November at 3.30pm the first Willunga Waldorf School teacher, Marita Huxholl, will visit the school to open the brand new, hand built, mud brick, chicken house.

As part of the Steiner/Waldorf Class 3 curriculum, students study “building”.

The students spent 3 weeks looking at different types of building techniques from Aboriginal shelters to African Adobe shelters. In addition to this, the class teacher, Andrew Banks, arranged for some trades people to come and talk to the students including a carpenter and designer. The students were then asked to design and create a model of a chicken house, taking into account materials, function, features and appearance. The teacher then incorporated as many elements of the students’ designs into one design.

After the school approved the proposal, the students spent three weeks building the chicken house that included nearly 400 bricks they have been making by hand since the beginning of the year.

The chickens will be placed in their new home as

Janet Molloy, Principal says “We’re excited to open our newest building – what a triumph for the students, parents and teacher who have worked together so beautifully to create a new home for our chickens.”

Class 3 student, Katja McCumiskey, was excited to talk about the building project. Katja said “We made the bricks by hand! We got wooden squares then we mixed 20 clay, 10 sand and 5 straw, put this into the moulds and let them dry. It’s quite a big chicken house for 4 hens and the run is very big. When we put the hens in, that’s going to be good and other people have said that it’s going to be like a hotel for them!”

Bendigo Bank Sponsors Aldinga Bay Croquet Club

A part of the official opening ceremony.

Simply Respectful.

Simply Affordable.

Simply Australian.

ldinga bay Croquet Club was recently presented with a $500 sponsorship by Customer Relations Officer, Kate Alldritt, from the Aldinga Beach Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank.

Vice President, Patricia Such, thanked the Bank for its generous support. The Club used the money to purchase outdoor furniture and to pave the area around the flagpole.

Over the past year, the club has also been fortunate in obtaining funding from The Office of Recreation and Sport and the City of Onkaparinga for capital works and promotion of croquet within the local community.

omen with Fibre had a very successful workshop on Monday October 13 on the techniques of netting conducted by Margaret Morgan. This technique has multiple applications from the making of fishermen’s nets to the finest of laces. In between these extremes, one can use normal knitting yarn to make delightful shawls and scarves, elegant and light weight due to the preponderance of holes! Two such items, made by Margaret, are shown in the picture. Our next meeting will be on November 10, 2014, from 11am to 2pm in Christ Church Hall, Yankalilla. For more information, please phone Margaret on 8558 3353.
