MOUNT GAMBIER CELEBRATES “From the first Australians to the newest sworn in citizens and everyone in between, we should be proud to be part of this great nation,” Member for Barker Tony Pasin said, as he kicked off official Australia Day celebrations in Mount Gambier last Friday. “No matter our birthplace, we are united in our Australian values.” He acknowledged the “complexities and challenges of our history”, citing Australia Day as a “day to unite us not divide us”. “We should reflect on our history but turn our back on it,” Mr Pasin said. “This is truly a nation of freedom and opportunity”.

Member for Mount Gambier Troy Bell focussed on what it meant to be an Australian citizen. “Being a citizen of this great country and this great community is about giving something back, in coming together, and standing up and being counted when needed,” Mr Bell said. “And I think as

a community, we’ve seen that time and time again.” Two people who have given so much to the Mount Gambier community – Lois Bayre and Peter Martin – were honoured as joint Citizen of the Year. Lois has been the face of Mount Gambier’s Biggest Morning Tea since 1999, seeing the event grow from 26 of Lois’ friends hosted at her home, to the 300 that now attend and the more than $1000,000 that has been raised in almost two decades.

Peter, who is a retired diesel mechanic, is a jack of all trades around town, from providing transport for people to picking up rubbish and everything in between. “I am very grateful and very overwhelmed,” Lois said, when presented with her Citizen of the Year honour, thanking her family and friends for their support, as well as the work of her fellow fundraising volunteers. “We have a great band of volunteers who work extremely well together and have a lot of fun,” Lois said. “At the end of the day, the best part of it is we are raising money for cancer.” Overwhelmed was also the overriding emotion for Peter Martin. “It’s humbling to get this award,” he said. “It (Mount Gambier) is a great place to live.” The words of Young Citizen of the Year Laura Small were thought provoking as the relative newcomer to the city reflected on her journey to call the Blue Lake City home. “I moved to Mount Gambier five year ago from Port Macquarie,” Laura said. “I was pretty homesick and suffering from severe depression and

considered packing up and moving home and leave this town far behind.”

The former James Morrison Academy student cited two simple incidents as reasons for her complete 180 – a band member went out of his way to give her Easter eggs and on a particularly bad night when she went for a walk to clear her head and got lost, a desperate phone call to a friend in Sydney, who happened to know someone in Mount Gambier, resulted in Laura being picked up and taken back to talk it out over a cup of tea. “And that person kept checking up on me from then on,” Laura said. “They are just two small examples of people in this city going out of their way to help and comfort me – a complete stranger. This whole town seems to be full of people who prop each other up. This community is vibrant and full of opportunities for people of all ages.” Currently studying a Masters of Teaching through the University of South Australia, Laura was honoured for giving her time freely to many community events including the Christmas Parade, Carols by Candlelight, Blue Lake Fun Run, Mayfair Singers, Concert Band and City Band. The Mount Gambier History Group was honoured for its popular 2017 exhibition honouring 150 years since iconic Mount Gambier store Fidler & Webb opened its doors. Group spokesperson and co-convenor of the exhibition Margaret Brown thanked the Mount Gambier City Council for its support in bringing what was a two year project, to fruition,

as well as former staff who helped the group tell the Fidler & Webb story. “And the Mount Gambier community who kept coming every day to support us,” Margaret said.

OUR AUSTRALIA DAY HONOURS LIST RECIPIENTS BETH SERLE (Tantanoola – For service to basketball) “To say that I’m gob smacked and feeling extremely humbled and deeply honoured on receiving this award is an understatement. I would feel much more comfortable out in Bell’s Bay in the tinny trying to catch a whiting. This award belongs to the many volunteers who I consider it an honour to work with in Basketball Mount Gambier, the Pioneers and SA Country basketball. I have tried to make good things happen for our young sportsmen and women.

They are the wind beneath my wings.

They develop into invaluable members of our community, making it a better place to live for us all.”

LYNETTE MARTIN (Mount Gambier – For services to the community) “I am honoured to think of being worthy of such recognition. The sense of community we have in Mount Gambier is amazing and it’s the thing I love most about Mount Gambier. I encourage everyone, especially our youth, to volunteer. What you put in you reap back much more. The connections you make and people you meet on the way is just wonderful.”

Lifestyle1 will talk to the region’s newest OAM’s in coming issues.

COLLECTED STUPIDITY - I GET SO EMOJIONAL... By ROBBIE TANSEL I know I’ve talked about my problems with and dislike for emojis over the last couple of years. Well this week I’ve had a situation arise that has really ensured I won’t be using emojis again in the near future.

It all started while I was on Instagram. I won’t make out that I’m up to date with all the modern social media and what not. I’m sure most of you know that Instagram is an app where you share photos with a caption that your friends can enjoy. It’s simple enough that I can manage it which means that anyone could work it out. The problem started when one of my friends had shared a photo of herself in a bikini from behind.

She had captioned it with a peach emoji. When I saw that little picture of a peach, I immediately felt hungry. In my head I thought, a peach would be great right now. I thought my friend must have just had a peach, or was also craving peaches. I made a decision to comment on her picture. “Can I have a bite of peach?” I commented, putting the peach emoji in. I thought it was a friendly comment indicating that I too was craving a peach. The next thing I knew Donna, who is a mutual friend of this other friend came storming in to the lounge room. “You like Janine’s butt, do you?!” she yelled at me angrily.

I can’t explain the confusion in my head at this moment. I’d already moved on from the comment. I’d spent a minute thinking about eating peaches before realising the futility of the thought.

There were no peaches in the house. So I’d gone and gotten a packet of chicken chips. This whole thing about Janine’s butt had come totally out of the blue.

I can’t say I’d ever considered Janine’s butt. I had no idea what had led to Donna wanting me to have an opinion on Janine’s butt. Unfortunately this led to me sitting staring at Donna like a stunned mullet. Donna took this as an admission of guilt obviously. At that point it was pointless trying to dispute anything so it was simply a matter of trying to look contrite and apologise.

I was still confused though. I couldn’t fathom what had given Donna the opinion I had some interest in Janine’s butt. Many of you already know what has happened here. That would be the people with the dirty minds. It was only after Donna had finished berating me and stated she was going to buy herself an expensive new clothing item that I got a chance to figure out what had happened. I talked to a friend who told me that the peach emoji is used by young ladies to indicate they have a peach shaped butt. When Janine had posted her photo, she was indicating she was proud of her butt in her bikini.

I had then commented I wanted a bit of it, even though I was talking about an actual peach. Quite clearly we’ve broken communication. In my day if I’d said I wanted to bite a peach, that meant I wanted a piece of fruit. If I wanted to bite someone’s butt…well that made me a weirdo and a creep.

Now obviously, I don’t want Donna upset because I have to live with her.

Knowing that she had misinterpreted my intentions and there was no chance of me convincing her I’d meant anything else, I thought I’d try to appease her so I sent her a text message. “Why don’t you go and eat some chocolate ice cream?” Being the genius I am, I put the chocolate ice cream emoji in. Most of you have already worked out what happened here. It’s not chocolate icecream. It’s poo. Unwittingly I’ve just told my partner to go eat poo. I should probably be grateful that I only got an angry face emoji in return, not a gun, knife or I’m going to poison your food emoji.

Some of you might be thinking, “Boy you’re stupid, Robbie.” I’m not stupid.

Emojis are stupid. When a picture that is quite clearly one thing does not mean that thing we have a problem.

I repeat, this is not communication! It would be like me saying the word dog, and it actually means coffee table, and expecting everyone to know that.

I’d love to hear from anyone else who is having emoji issues at robbietansel@ gmail.com Maybe we can start a support group or something.

our local audiences, as well as our many visitors, to experience something special.”

GLENELG SHIRE HONOURS HARD WORKING VOLUNTEERS Two Glenelg Shire residents who have dedicated their lives to volunteering in our community have shared the 2018 Glenelg Shire Citizen of the Year Australia Day Award.

Portland’s Phillip Ruge and Casterton’s Sharron Gill were named joint recipients of the day’s top honour, recognised in celebrations hosted across the shire last Friday.

Glenelg Shire Mayor Cr Anita Rank said both were outstanding individuals who had strengthened their local communities through their tireless volunteer efforts.

Mr Ruge is well recognised as a dedicated and hardworking Portland Cable Tram member, volunteering with the organisation for more than 20 years.

“Phillip has been instrumental in making the Portland Cable Trams the successful tourist attraction it is today,” Cr Rank said. “He has proved his leadership and passion through playing a significant role in securing approximately $1.6 million in funding to get the project established. The cable trams are now one of the most valuable community assets for the Glenelg Shire and continue to draw in visitors from right across the country. Furthermore Phillip has been actively involved with a number of other organisations such as the Portland Apex Club, the Portland Powerhouse Motor and Car Museum and the Cashmore CFA, establishing himself as a strong advocate for the local community.”

Fellow Citizen of the Year Ms Gill has committed her time to volunteering for various groups, clubs and schools throughout Casterton.

“Sharron has been devoted to the Casterton community since she moved to the shire in 1977,” said Cr Rank. “Just some of her many achievements have included coordinating The Little Nippers Program, assisting in the Paint Casterton Read literacy program, organising school concerts and coaching and umpiring for the Casterton and District Netball Association. Sharron is a true community achiever and has helped ensured that grassroots sports continue to grow and thrive in Casterton.”

Hundreds of people joined Australia Day celebrations in Portland, Heywood and Casterton to recognise the award winners and to celebrate the citizenship of nine Glenelg Shire residents.

Special writer and associate editor for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, and former Heywood resident, Tony Wright, was a guest speaker at the ceremonies in Portland and Heywood.

Other Australia Day award winners: Senior Citizen of the Year Gwen Finck Mrs Finck has been recognised for dedicating more than 20 years to helping those less fortunate in the local community. Gwen has been a passionate volunteer with organisations such as Meals on Wheels and

Portland Loaves and Fishes, donating her time every week to help prepare and provide essential food, services and goods to those who need it most.

Joint Young Citizen of the Year Jess Pethybridge Jess has demonstrated great leadership skills and innovation within the community at such a young age. She has helped drive membership for the Portland Netball Association during her involvement with the Whitten Project and she has focused much of her efforts on raising awareness of childhood illness as part of her leadership role with Portland Secondary College.

Joint Young Citizen of the Year James Gray James has been an outstanding ambassador and role model for local youth through his captaincy at Heywood and District Secondary College. His passion for student wellbeing has seen him run a full week of activities to promote ‘RUOK’ day, taking time from his studies to give support to those around him. His interest and concern for the community has also seen him personally raised $5000 for the Make a Wish Foundation as part of the Big Red Family Walk.

GRANT COUNCIL ANNOUNCES TOP CITIZENS

Forecast hot weather saw Grant District Council move its Australia Day celebrations from a lunch to a breakfast.

Hosted at Tarpeena, the breakfast was highlgihted by handing out of the council’s Australia Day awards. “As a council we feel that it is important to not only celebrate the award recipients but to honour all of our nominees as they have all made a positive difference to our community and should feel very proud to be nominated for the award,” District Council of Grant Mayor Richard Sage said. Australia Day Ambassador, former CEO Operation Flinders John Shepherd, assisted the Mayor to present this year’s awards. The Community Event of the Year was awarded to the Port MacDonnell Community Emergency Response Team. Accepting the award on behalf of the Team was volunteer team leader Denise Gower.

The Community Emergency Response Team was the first of this type of service delivery model in South Australia. It was born of the need for a quicker response to emergencies than the Mount Gambier based ambulance was able to give. Shortly after they commenced they were responding to over 100 events per year. The team have been involved with at least three successful cardiac arrest resuscitations, as well as the numerous community members that they provided first level treatment and patient care until an ambulance arrives. The success of this model has now been replicated at five other locations across the State. Since January 2006 the volunteers at Port MacDonnell have given over 71,000 hours of service being ‘on call’, plus further times when they have responded to call outs when not rostered on. A number of the members have been on the team for more than 10 years, including volunteer team leader Denise Gower. Other groups nominated in this category were the Kongorong Rodeo and the Yahl Primary School Spring Fair.

Jason Watts was awarded the Young Citizen of the Year. Jason was school captain at Allendale East Area School and actively involved volunteering with the school’s led steer program. He has been a very active volunteer with the CFS since he was 15 and is now at the age of 20 is the Brigade Lieutenant and

training coordinator. Jason volunteers his time training others in the CFS and also contributes his time at community events such as the Bayside Festival, School working bees, sports activities, and the Twin Peaks Hill Climb. He also assists with the set up and pack up of the Port MacDonnell Christmas decorations annually. Yahl’s Kylie Boston was named the Citizen of the Year, with Peter Balnaves from Tarpeena and Port MacDonnell’s Jennie Tilley also being nominated. Kylie has been involved in a number of community organisations including Yahl Progress Association, Yahl Hall Committee, South Gambier Netball and Football Club, Yahl Playgroup and Yahl Primary School as President and Secretary of the Parent Club and Governing Council. Kylie is a life member of Mount Schank Tennis Club and is current treasurer after being club secretary for nine years. Kylie has submitted many successful grants on behalf of the club receiving funding for many projects including upgrading the courts, a new rainwater tank, and painting the courts. She has instigated a newsletter system, new club t-shirts, and a business plan for the club.

Since 2008 she has been influential in organising junior coaching and bringing junior teams back to the club, and has been secretary and registrar of the Lakes Junior Tennis Association Committee. Kylie is treasurer of Tonique Studio and was an integral part of starting the studio which has grown from 20 to 90 students in three years.

Thanks to Kylie’s association with Dairy SA and her nomination, Mount Schank was named 2017 Legendairy Capital of South Australia. The playground at the Mount Schank Tennis Club was updated with funds received from the award.

The season is running longer, there are more teams and there is also now a naming rights sponsor – there is no doubt the Limestone Coast Women’s Football League is thriving after its inaugural season last year. The 2018 season was officially launched last Wednesday with key stakeholders meeting at McDonald Park to usher in the competition’s second season. The Western Border Football League is in charge of the administration of the league, which welcomes Kalangadoo, Glencoe and Kybybolite to see the six team 2017 competition expand to eight teams. “We are looking forward to the 2018 women’s season with keen anticipation,” WBFL executive representative Trevor Smart said. “It is encouraging and significant that the league has expanded. There is now a clear pathway for women to progress either at a local level or on the national stage.” The league expansion will see between 180 and 200 players take the region’s football ovals. Representing the newly installed naming rights sponsor, Veolia, Rebecca Mobbs, who played in the inaugural season and is looking to pull on the boots again in 2018, said the company was thrilled to be associated with the emerging competition. “As a local Veolia employee, it’s a commitment that we share and are proud of,” Mrs Mobbs said. Veolia became part of the Limestone Coast landscape in 2011, working in the Wattle Range area in domestic waste requirements. They now also perform a similar role for the District Councils of Grant and Kingston and last year were a finalist in the 2017 NAB Mount Gambier Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Business Awards in the environmental category.

“Veolia is committed to serving the community where we work and where our employees reside,” Mrs Mobbs said.

And she was also quick to extol the virtues of getting involved as a player.

“It has tremendous health benefits,” Rebecca said. “It reduces stress and teaches positive life lessons, instilling a sense of team work and collaboration and increasing self confidence.” As the history making, reigning premiers coach, South Gambier’s Chris Edmonds

OPEN INSPECTIONS Complete Real Estate • For open times refer to www.completerealestate.com.au

was an unabashed advocate for the Limestone Coast Women’s Football League. “One of the things that really struck me about joining this league was just how exciting an opportunity this is, not only for the players, but the club,” he said. “The sense of team spirit and club profile to have a girls team to promote was really, really valuable. It dragged a whole bunch of old blokes that have been out of footy back into football. It reinvigorated my love for the game.” While the inaugural season saw somewhat manufactured teams that saw it take a little while for each playing group to bond, the results were outstanding. “They could show the blokes a hell of a lot about how to gel as a team and really enjoy the sport,” Edmonds said. The reigning premiership coach could already see an increase in the professionalism of the competition heading into its second season. “A lot of girls come out just to have fun and to learn a new skill,” he said. “But there are also players that could be playing at State level or in the SANFL.” Glencoe Football Club president Chris Jones was thrilled to see his club as part of the 2018 season.

“Through the course of the last season, the Glencoe Football Club became aware that the All Stars did not have a home base and we saw that as a real opportunity for our club to be involved in this season,” he said. The Murphies have now become one of the new clubs for 2018 and are looking forward to hosting the March 18 round of the competition on home turf. “We see the women’s league as an opportunity for

growth and development for our club and other clubs,” Jones said. “I think we’ll see the competition continue to grow along with the skill of the players.”

While netball fans can rest easy that star East Gambier defender and former A Grade coach Bo Creek is suiting up for the club’s netball team in 2018, she is also set to be a Bulldogs footballer.

“I’ve always loved football and last year being a new season, I wasn’t sure, even though I would have loved to,” Creek said. “Being that it’s earlier this year and not going to overlap with netball I thought I’d give it a god as I’ve always wanted to do it. I’m only getting older so I decided to come out. It’s a really young group of girls but a really nice mix and I am really enjoying it. I came out not really knowing anyone, except a couple of junior netballers, and it’s been really good and I’ve been made to feel really welcome.” The season will commence on Friday, February 2, with four games played at Vansittart Park from 5.30pm, with the grand final at Millicent on Sunday, March 25. The league is also sponsored by Green Triangle Electronics, NBC Financial Services, Therapy for Life Physiotherapy and Hyland Fox Signs.

LOCAL TRIO PART OF AFLW OPENER Three South East players have also been afforded the opportunity to strut their stuff on the national stage on February 3 when they are part of the lead in match to the Crows v Brisbane AFLW fixture at Norwood Oval. East Gambier players Tulle Perryman and Kiara Beck will be part of the curtain raiser, while Millicent’s Olivia Fuller (pictured) was offered a place but has had to decline for work commitments.

The girls were talent identified from within the Limestone Coast Women’s Football League, while Olivia has also started to make her mark with higher honours, representing South Australia in the Under 18 competition last year,

as well as being selected in the Allies team, alongside fellow Millicent alumni Jess Allan, who has joined sister Sarah at the Adelaide Crows for the upcoming AFLW season. Olivia has also been part of the Adelaide Crows Academy.

Olivia has just successfully completed Year 12, finishing an ATAR of 90.2, and is undergoing a traineeship at the Millicent Basketball Stadium in her gap year, with a view to entering the police force, the defence force or attend university in 2019. All three girls will be part of the 2018 Limestone Coast Women’s Football League season and both Tulle and Kiara are looking forward to the opportunity to play on the same stage as the AFLW.

STUDENT GRANTS ON OFFER For psychology honours student Sam Sinclair embarking on tertiary study meant he had to make some tough choices and even then, there were hidden costs and pitfalls.

Based in Mount Gambier with his young family, Sam looked to find a university that would allow him to study as an external student, so he could still juggle family responsibilities and his part time work – he is an accommodation and services manager at Disability Services.

That opportunity came through the University of New England, based in Armidale. So Sam was set – that was until he found out, despite being an off-campus student, he would need to attend three, one week blocks at the campus, which is a five hour drive north of Sydney.

Not only was the arrangement going to be a challenge in terms of time off work but also financially, with Sam’s sister getting married in Mackay last year.

Fortunately one of Sam’s co-workers had heard about the Mount Gambier and District Tertiary Health Education Grant program and Sam was relieved to be chosen in 2017 as a recipient of one of those grants.

“Just like that a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders,” Sam said, speaking at the 2018 launch of the program last week.

“I remember how that felt and I will always be grateful for having been given this opportunity. Rather than choose between study and my sister’s wedding, I could now attend both. That’s the kind of impact this grant can have on its recipients.”

Fellow 2017 recipient Emma Greenfield, who is heading into her second year of medicine at Monash University in Melbourne was also extremely grateful for the financial boost she received.

“Moving out of home and not knowing anyone over there,

it was important to be able to get to some social activities and meet people,” Emma said. “It helped with rent, text books, food, petrol – it really takes the pressure off.”

Emma has now met people from all over Australia and the world and is settling into her studies nicely. “It has been really interesting and I think once we get into the clinical years, next year, we will really see how it all works.”

The program is now in its 12th year, having already dished out $242,000 to recipients over the past 11 years, assisting 121 students.

Aimed at students who reside in the Mount Gambier City Council and District Council of Grant catchment, the aim has been to help fund students who have to move away for study in the health field, or who are studying remotely.

“Initially we provided five grants,” program committee chairman Ken Stafford said. That has now grown and between 12 and 15 students are normally assisted annually with the $2000 grant.

Students have gone on to study medical science, speech pathology, medical imaging, dental, oral health, chiropractic, sports science, medicine, pharmacy and psychology. “All the skills needed and definitely required for the well being of our community,” Mr Stafford said.

It is hoped many recipients will choose to spend at least some of their working life back in this region. Mount Gambier Mayor Andrew Lee officially launched the 2018 grants program.

“It is an investment in our future and gives the best possible start to young people,” Mr Lee said. “It is an ongoing challenge for regional communities in attracting and retaining skilled health workers.”

The grant program is supported by City of Mount Gambier, District Council of Grant, Ken and Carol Stafford, UFS Chemist,

AT A GLANCE

PORTLAND KINDERGARTEN SHINES Jaycee Kindergarten has reaffirmed its status as one of the region’s leading early education providers after successfully completing a state wide health promotion program. The Portland based kindergarten recently received their sixth and final health priority icon as part of the Victorian Government’s Achievement Program. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy as Jaycee is the first kindergarten in the Glenelg Shire to receive all of the icons in the program. Glenelg Shire Council children’s services manager Janine Johnstone said the achievement was another accomplishment for Jaycee and reaffirmed the centre’s successful collaborative approach to early childhood education. “Over the past twelve months Jaycee staff and families have been working together to create a meaningful approach to healthy living, ensuring the same information taught at the centre goes on to be taught at home,” she said.

“Families can once again be assured that when they enrol their child into any of our early childhood programs they will be educated in a quality learning environment and one which exceeds the state’s best practice measures for health promotion.” The Achievement Program is a Victoria Government initiative that aims to encourage healthier lifestyles and prevent lifestyle related diseases, as based upon the World Health Organisation’s model for health. Once the school, service provider or workplace achieves the benchmarks set for the health priority area, they are eligible to receive an icon. Jaycee Kindergarten has now been awarded all six health priority icons for their best practice approaches to healthy eating and oral health, mental health and wellbeing, physical activity, sun protection, tobacco control and safe environments. Ms Johnstone expects to see other kindergartens in the Glenelg Shire Early Years Management to soon receive all of their remaining icons in the Achievement Program. “A number of our kindergartens are already close to completing the program, so it will simply be a matter of time before all of our services have all six icons proudly affixed to their signs,” she said. For further information on the Achievement Program please visit www. achievementprogram.health.vic.gov.au/ early-childhood-services.

RECORD NUMBERS AT DOGS BREKKIES Local dogs and their humans got together recently to enjoy a breakfast on the beach at Dogs’ Breakfast events across the coast for the best turnout to the event in its eight year history.

Part of Natural Resources South East’s Coastal Connections program, the Dogs’ Breakfasts were held at Robe, Kingston and Port MacDonnell. Friends of Shorebirds SE secretary Maureen Christie said the breakfasts were a fun and informal way for dog owners to learn about how to share the beach with local wildlife. “We had a great turnout at each event this year,” Miss Christie said. “This year Sharn Lucas also demonstrated positive training techniques with the help of her Australian Collie, Mya. It was lovely to have so many people and their pets to share this message with at each breakfast.” Almost 80 dogs attended across the sessions, along with their owners. “We couldn’t run these events without the time and input from local Vets – Kingston Vet Clinic, Gambier Vets and Millicent Vets, and the support of local councils and the South East Animal Welfare League,” Miss Christie said. “It was great to also offer microchipping this year.”

ART JOURNAL CLASSES AT MOUNT GAMBIER’S MAIN CORNER Local artist Fiona Paltridge will be running art journal classes at the Main Corner Complex on Saturday, February 17. Each class you will complete two journal pages and learn lots of new techniques, with classes running from 10am-12noon or 1-3pm. Everything is supplied, so you just need to bring along an art journal. Fiona is set to explore the use of tags in art journals.

“Tags can be fun to add dimension and interest to your work as well as be the perfect thing to write your journal jottings on,” Fiona said. “Whether you are an experienced art journaler or a beginner you will enjoy this fun creative class.” Participants must be 16 years of age or older, the class costs $45, and you can phone (08)8721 2563 to book your place.

FEDERAL FUNDING FOR TREE PLANTING Over 140,000 will be planted in Barker

by June 2020 thanks to a funding boost from the Coalition Government for new revegetation projects that directly help recover threatened ecological communities or threatened species.

Funded projects in this region include more than 55,000 trees in the Coorong & Tatiara region, as well as Nature Glenelg Trust projects at Mt Burr and Eaglehawk Waterhole. “I look forward to seeing the benefits these projects will bring to our local community, native species and our environment as a whole,” Member for Barker Tony Pasin said.

LANDMARK BUILDING SET FOR MAKEOVER A landmark historic building and community asset is set to be restored thanks to the Glenelg Shire Council.

The Ruth Martin Memorial Building, located in Portland, will undergo several building and maintenance upgrades to help restore the building its iconic state.

The Julia street building is currently the home of community radio station 3RPC and is one of the shire’s most recognisable and prized community venues.

“It’s better than a lot of what they have in the States,” Nick said.

There was no rest for the newly crowned wrestler of the year, with a show at the weekend and then gigs once a month at the Latvian Hall, in Wayville.

Anyone interested in catching one of Nick’s shows can check out details on the Riot City Wrestling website or facebook page.

AMAZING COMEBACK FOR LOCAL WRESTLER 2016 was a tough year for Nick Cleves. The former Mount Gambier resident, who has been making his name in wrestling circles was sidelined by a shoulder injury and subsequent operation that saw him out of action for five months.

His return has been triumphant though and earlier this month he was Riot City Wrestling’s 2017 Wrestler of the Year and the 2017 Match of the Year – a bout in which he competed against Chris Basso.

The awards cap off a super return to the ring for Nick, who was also one of only 22 Australian wrestlers invited to WWE training and auditions last year

in Melbourne. “It really was a big year,” Nick said. “And the Australian wrestling scene is really growing – it’s the biggest it’s been in a long time.”

Known as Nick Armstrong in the wrestling scene, the two awards are not only reward for effort but also loom as a superb springboard into what he hopes will be an even busier, more successful 2018.

“I am looking to travel more with my wrestling in 2018 and do some work internationally,” Nick said. Nick’s brother Travis, who is also a wrestler, should certainly be able to help where that’s concerned, his partner is a wrestler in Orlando, Florida. “I would love to follow in her footsteps and make an impact in America,” Nick said. I t is certainly not a profession for the faint hearted, requiring athletes to not just be physically fit, but to also be performers.

“We train about four or five times a week just with the wrestling,” Nick said.

“We also do about five weight sessions and there is a massive focus on cardio.”

Nick admits he is very fortunate though, with the Riot City Wrestling training facility at Hindmarsh, one of the best, state-of-the-art facilities in the world. lifestyle1.net | 25

CENTENARY TOWER RE-OPENS The City of Mount Gambier flag is flying over the iconic Centenary Tower again as a new caretaker reopens the historic building and tourism hot spot. Centenary Tower was first opened in 1904, but was closed to the public in recent years as the City of Mount Gambier struggled to find a suitable person interested in fulfilling the caretaker role. Adelaide born Mobile Travel Agent and new Mount Gambier resident Ben Deering has been appointed caretaker for the next six months on a trial basis after initially being intrigued by the building for more than a decade when visiting the city regularly with family. Now that he has the key and is living locally, he’ll use his extensive experience in the tourism industry to rejuvenate the popular tourist spot. “We have found the flag and weather permitting, we’ll be open three days a week and at least one day on the weekends,” he said. “We’ll keep the entry fee cheap at $2, provide refreshments and ice creams and we’ll look at implementing a pass type set up for locals who’d like to visit regularly.”

SOUTHERN GRAMPIANS HONOURS ITS BEST Southern Grampians Shire Council capped of its 2018 Australia Day celebrations with the awarding of its annual awards. Rosemary Mercer was the Citizen of the Year honour, rewarding the tireless volunteer for her work in the Greater Hamilton community through health organisations, the church, sporting organisations, schools and the Hamilton Gallery. Rosie’s experience in the education sector has contributed significantly to Greater Hamilton’s reputation for delivering outstanding opportunities for tomorrow’s future leaders. Rosie became involved with the Hamilton Gallery in the 1970s, joining the Friends Committee in 1984, and has retained a hard-working and dedicated involvement for over three decades.

She has given tirelessly as a voluntary worker, organising and catering for countless fundraising events and raising many thousands of dollars for the purpose of purchasing artworks to add to the gallery’s $24 million collection.

She has also acted as a volunteer guide and exhibition hand, undertaking countless hours of research to act as an ambassador for the gallery in the community. There are many other local organisations that benefit from Rosie’s tireless voluntary work including the Western District Health Service, where she helps with fundraising, and she has recently joined the committee of the Hamilton and District Aged Care Trust. Rosie also helps with the Uniting Church’s Second Bite program, helping to unload and organise food from the truck every second Thursday, also assisting with hampers and distribution when required. Rosie has cooked Tuesday meals for those in need with the Uniting Church for the past eight years and is a voluntary helper on call for The Birches, assisting with bus trips, daily activities, and sewing help, and she also contributes to many of the region’s events. Bella Cutchie was named the Young Citizen of the Year. Bella is a young leader in the indigenous community in Hamilton, always looking for ways to engage with the community, volunteer her time and put her hand up. Bella recently participated in Winda-Mara’s Nutrition program, which assists children with basic cooking skills, the focus lying on healthy eating. Bella’s leadership skills were clearly on display, and she was enthusiastic in the challenges of working with other children. Bella is a get-on-and-do-it, action-orientated yet patient young lady, who helps out with community dinners and fundraising events such as Relay for Life. Bella is passionate about running, competing in state and regional cross country finals and recently even coming first for her age group the indigenous Run around the Rock in Uluru. The National Historical Machinery Association was also honoured with its National rally named the Community Event of the Year. The National Historical Machinery

Association’s National Rally is held every two years in different locations across Australia. April last year saw the event held in Hamilton, following a successful event bid by the committee and volunteers at the Hamilton Pastoral Museum. People from all over the world with a common interest in collecting, restoring or exhibiting old stationary engines, tractors, machinery and vehicles came together at this fantastic event. As well as tractors, the rally had displays of steam-powered machinery, horse ploughs, stationary engines and grain grinders plus children activities, food and drink vendors and stalls. The rally ran for three days with a gala dinner on the Saturday night where 380 people attended. The Hamilton Harness Racing Complex proved to be a perfect venue, hosting close to 800 exhibitors with approximately 16,000 visitors through the gates. Accommodation across the Greater Hamilton region was completely booked out, and the Rally

was a huge success thanks to the hard work of the event committee and the many volunteers who contributed to it.

SPORT HARNESS RACING COMMUNITY GETS BEHIND SKYLAR’S CAMPAIGN One thing’s for sure – the pain of losing Skylar Lawrence is still raw, not just for her parents and siblings but for the entire extended family.

With close connections to the Medhurst family, here in Glencoe, Skylar, who lived in Darwin with parents Sally & Ash Lawrence, was struck down by Meningococcal and in what felt like a heartbeat, she was gone, at just 33 months. That was October last year and as a means of coping with the unimaginable loss, Sally & Ash were determined to spread the word through their Share A Cino with Skylar campaign. Their beautiful toddler, who has a twin sister and an older brother, loved babycinos and Sally & Ash have enlisted the help of cafes to spread the word by offering free babycinos until the Meningococcal B vaccine is funded and on the immunisation schedule nationwide. One of the reasons Skylar contracting meningococcal was so shocking for Sally & Ash was they had immunised all three children, taking advantage of the free meningococcal vaccine, which is for meningococcal. They did not realise the children were not protected against all forms of the disease. “We thought we were doing everything we could to protect our kids,” Sally said, during a radio interview in Darwin. The speed with which the disease took Skylar was also terrifying. It was during a family holiday that Skylar developed a temperature, which progressed to diarrhoea and vomiting and once the tiny, pea-sized bruises appeared, Skylar was rushed to hospital – it was only three hours later she was gone. “Skylar our 33-month old beautiful princess grew angel wings,” Sally said. The couple is now determined to continue to fight to get the meningococcal B vaccine on the Australian immunisation schedule

– it is currently available but is cost prohibitive for most families. “It has been used overseas with outstanding results,” Sally said. “We need your support to get this on the Australian immunisation schedule to protect our children.” Part of that awareness campaign will be in the spotlight this weekend at the Friday night meeting at the Mount Gambier Harness Racing Club. It is Glencoe Cup night at the Medhurst family and, at the request of Sally & Ash, a memorial race will be run for Skylar. Sally, Ash and their children will be heading home for the night and family and friends from Darwin, Adelaide and Melbourne are headed to Greenwald Paceway in a show of solidarity in supporting the Share A Cino with Skylar campaign.

The participating cafes in the local area have been awarded double passes, including Muffin Break, To Go Gourmet Sandwich & Expresso Bar, Bryant’s Bakery, the Grantville Court café and Country Post & Bistro, at Glencoe, and Joanne’s Espresso Express will be on hand on the night to provide babycinos.

There will also be an area set aside for promotion of the campaign. Skylar was harness racing stalwart Peter Medhurst’s great grand daughter and as a committee member he had no trouble selling the idea of a memorial race for Skylar, whose grandmother, Judy Koopman, now feels blessed to have visited the family just two weeks before her granddaughter’s tragic passing. “We just want to get the awareness out there,” great auntie Kathy Finnis said. For further information on the campaign head to www.facebook.com/ ShareacinowithSkylar and head out to the harness racing on Friday night to show your support.

UPDATE ON THE FIGHT FOR THE MENINGOCOCCAL VACCINE Member for Barker Tony Pasin has been at the forefront of the push to have the meningococcal B vaccine on the immunisation schedule and just last week met with pharmaceutical heavyweights from GSK Australia – the global healthcare company that manufactures the vaccine. As a father of two children, he has seen a number of cases in his electorate. GSK has undertaken three unsuccessful applications for inclusion on the immunisation schedule but Mr Pasin was hopeful it would be fourth time lucky, with some SA trials set to assist in making the case. “We are working on a fresh application, a stronger application,” Mr Pasin said. “It is a complex process but we are hoping to gather greater evidence so GSK can submit an application that will be successful. To the credit of the South Australian Government they are funding it.” The most vulnerable age groups are the 0-2 year olds and 15-18 year olds. “AS we have seen in the case of Skylar there is such a small window or opportunity to provide treatment,” Mr Pasin said. “I wish Skylar’s parents all the best with their awareness campaign.”

SWIM-A-THON RAISES FUNDS FOR HOSPITAL Louise Waters is a long standing swim instructor in this region and as classes at the Jubilee Motor Inn kick off as of this week, Louise is looking forward to more than just a new term of classes.

Her swim school is set to hand over a cheque for $1450 to the Mount Gambier Hospital paediatric unit after a successful swim-a-thon held at the end of last year. Students from eight months to 12 years old were part of the swim-a-thon, where the students secured donations. The swim-a-thon was incorporated into regular lesson times across

one week and to have raised almost $1500 is an impressive effort. With more than five decades of swimming instructing experience, Louise sees swimming lessons as important as ever after a summer where drownings were all too prevalent across Australia. “The biggest asset for parents is they know they have done their best to make children safer around water,” Louise said. “Water is an amazing environment, one that all Australians need to know how to function in, for safety, fun and therapy.” Classes run from Monday to

Thursday, from lunch time through to the evening and to secure your place, or your child’s place, contact Louise on (08)8725 0195 or email lousie.waters6@gmail.com Right - Louise Waters (centre) with some of her youngest students and their parents.

That is followed by the 60-plus drivers competing in the ‘60 Minutes To Win It’ expression session, which is often one of the most intense sessions of the weekend.

SPORT THREE-PEAT FOR MADSEN

After three dramatic nights of racing at the Borderline Speedway, reigning national sprintcar champion Kerry Madsen has completed a threepeat, winning his third successive national title.

In front of a crowd of around 9000 on the final night of competition, last Saturday, Madsen started from position three on the grid and only made his bold move in the 40 lap final, with eight laps to go, getting the better of a disappointed James McFadden, with Matt Egel, in third.

Steve Lines was the best of the locals, finishing seventh, after making his way into the A-main the hard way. Engine issues saw Lines compete

in the B-Main to earn his spot min the national final, winning the race comfortably and starting in position 17 on the grid. To fight his way through to seventh was an admirable drive.

Glen Sutherland’s national title bid ended on lap eight of the final when he made contact with the Stark owned car, driven by Chad Ely, after it spun in front of him, with both locally connected cars left to sit out the rest of the race in the infield.

Brooke Tatnell was also stymied by car trouble and was unable to take his place in the final, a disappointing end for the five time national champion, who was driving for Ray Scott Racing.

The feedback from drivers and spectators alike, was overwhelmingly positive with national officials already hinting at another national title hosting gig in the future.

“When the national body says ‘are you up for another one?’ you realise you must be doing something right,” cub president Cary Jennings said. “We’ll have to see what happens down the track.”

To see line-ups at the ticket box on each three nights from 2pm was exactly what organisers had hoped for as they spent the best part of two years ensuring the Borderline Speedway and its facilities were in top notch condition, ready to impress the rest of Australia.

“I think, along with Generations in Jazz, these national titles will be the biggest event of the year for Mount Gamier,” Jennings said. “They brought so many people to the region and that was great for the accommodation and eateries and shops and everything in town.”

The corporate boxes were full to capacity over the three nights of racing and the track held up well for the premier sprintcar event.

“The club is bigger than one person,” Jennings said. “It has taken a team to get everything done – so many volunteers have made this event the success it has been. The whole three nights were really fantastic and we received so many compliments from people from all over Australia about how the event was run. The racing was also smack on – beautiful.”

STATE SUCCESS FOR HOOD Georgia Hood was part of the South Australian Under 19 softball team that finished third at last week’s national championships. Georgia had an impact with bat and on the mound.
