COVER • TIME TO STOP & SMELL THE ROSES Roses have been a Wagner family tradition for six decades and that tradition, which started in Payneham, has continued at Kalangadoo, where it has been for more than 20 years. Brian Wagner has been at the helm for almost forty years and has been around roses for as long as he can remember.

His grandfather Harold Baker started growing roses in the 1950s in Payneham, and then his mother and father, Barbara and Earl Wagner took over the business.

“I’ve grown up around the industry – I remember being around the roses as a very young child,” he said. “I was taken to the nursery from when I was about three and I’ve been surrounded by roses ever since.”

Arguably one of his most enduring memories was of how happy the people looked that worked for his parents.

Clothes dried outside smell better because of a process called photolysis (sunlight breaks down compounds that cause odour).

“I can remember watching the guys digging,” he said. “The perspiration was dripping off those guys but they were always smiling and I remember wondering why there were so happy because it looked like a tiring job.”

Brian started working for the nursery to fund his love of surfing and travel and the pattern of working for a while then heading overseas continued until his mid 20s when his father passed away and his mother was looking to retire.

“She asked if I wanted to take over the business and it was too good an opportunity to say no to,” Brian said.

“I knew it was an opportunity that would disappear and never come back if I didn’t grab it – I made the decision to come back from overseas and give it a go.” So Brian eventually set up a rose growing business at McLaren Vale,

where he stayed for 15 years, before the search for a new home led him to the Limestone Coast.

“I used to visit here in my surfing days and had mates that lived down here,” Brian said. That meant he was a relatively regular visitor and that is how he met Penola rose icon Sue Zwar through the local rose society. “I told her what I was thinking of doing and she offered her property for me to do a trial to test how roses would grow in this region.” It was not long after that a Kalangadoo property was up for auction and it seemed worthwhile for Brian to scope it out. Turns out it was perfect with sandy loam and a PH of 6.5 which was exactly what he was looking for, as well as the amount of groundwater.

“I couldn’t believe the quality of water and the volume.” It was also reassuring for Brian that after the auction, several locals came up add congratulated him on the purchase. “They said it was the best bit of dirt in the whole of Kalangadoo.” And he has stayed on that prime piece of dirt ever since.

Wagner’s Rose Nursery is a 50 hectare property, with around 250,000 plants representing around 600 varieties for market, and another 400 varieties that Brian has as a work in progress.

One of the exciting new ventures for Brian and the team is he introduction of Italian varieties, securing a reputable supplier through connections with Brian’s partner Benedetta Rusconi, and the early results are pleasing and will be on show at the nursery’s upcoming

open day. “We are the only agent in Australia and I think we can do something really great and we’ll give it a couple of years and see what we’ve got,” Brian said. He is also working closely with a lot of Australian bred varieties.

The annual Wagner’s Rose Nursery Open Day will be held on April 7 and gives an insiders look to the industry and plenty of helpful hints and tips about rose conditioning and maintenance and how to get the best out of your roses both in and out of the house.

Following a similar format to its highly successful open days over the past six years, Brian Wagner will host ‘continual’ tours throughout the day in a relaxed paddock setting, whilst also being on hand to answer questions and provide information on rose growing.

With early April being an ideal time for roses in bloom, the nursery will be awash with colour. “Roses actually like

the hot conditions we’ve been having and it’s meant more watering but they are looking great and it will be perfect by the open day,” Brian said. It will be the first chance for visitors to see the new 2019 rose releases, while also viewing a large selection of yearling and two year old rose bushes.

The open day is a community fundraiser for the Penola Primary School and will also include food and wine.

“As well as having the chance to take a tour around the paddocks of the rose nursery, there’ll also be plenty to see, drink and eat in the central space of the Open Day,” Brian said. Wagner’s stall will feature hundreds of potted roses, including standards, available for sale, and loads of special Open Day deals, together with a special discount for all winter orders placed on the day.

Bunches of cut flowers will also be available.

The Rose Nursery Open Day will be held on Sunday, April 7, from 10am to 4pm, with an entry of $8 per adult and children under 15 free. Visitors are recommended to wear enclosed footwear. Wagner’s Rose Nursery is on 20 Koorine Road, Kalangadoo, just outside Kalangadoo on the Kalangadoo –Millicent Road, 200 metres from Koorine homestead.

THE EDUCATOR & THE JOCK Colin Beaton might have left Mount Gambier five years ago to spend his retirement closer to family but his name is still synonymous with two things in this region – his tenure as principal of Suttontown Primary School and being the voice of ABC radio local sport.

He basically held down both roles simultaneously and did so for three decades and both roles provided him with a lifetime of memories about the region he once called home.

COLIN THE EDUCATOR Byron Bay is now that home but the former school principal was back in town at the weekend to help Suttontown Primary School celebrate its 150th anniversary. So keen was Colin to be part of the milestone celebrations, that he even headed to the school a day early to check out all the memorabilia on display in the school gym, which bears his name, aware that he would spend so much of the weekend catching up with past students and colleagues and their families that he might not have time to soak up the well thought out displays the school has assembled for the anniversary event. Colin Beaton arrived at Suttontown Primary School in 1984 and walked into the 41 student school, that had been fighting closure for the best part of a decade. It was almost an accidental appointment back in the days when there was a list of potential principals, which was basically anyone who was interested in the role and had been teaching more than three years – when Colin, who had been a PE

teacher at McDonald Park School for five years, joined the queue, it was 1200 names long. “There was basically a list of principals and every year when a job came up, whoever was first on the list would be offered that job,” Colin said.

The aspiring principals also had their list – the schools they were looking to join – but Suttontown was not on Colin’s initial list. “I was keen on a small school but why would you put Suttontown down when the department was trying to close it,” he said. But in 1983, Colin was given the heads up by a colleague that the job was going to come up, Colin added Suttontown to his list and the following year started what was to be a 30 year stint as school principal.

“I knew nothing about leadership and nothing about running a school,” Colin said. When he started at the school there were two classes – the Years 4-7 and the Reception to Year 3. “There was one teacher in charge of each, and one of those was me, and we certainly didn’t have anyone manning the front office or teacher aides or anything like that,” he said. What they did have though was a building reputation and slowly but surely, the student numbers grew. When Colin retired in 2013 there was 109 students, which included incorporating the students from Tarpeena Primary School when their school closed its doors. It was that absorption of the Tarpeena families that also saw Suttontown get a facilities boost. At the same time the school was constructing its gym courtesy of the Rudd Government’s cash splash,

Tarpeena’s Covered Outdoor Learning Area (COLA) was also brought to the Pinehall Avenue site. “We were pretty lucky in that regard,” Colin said. Lucky, too, that they were a rural school, with all those benefits, but also situated only five kilometres from Mount Gambier’s swimming pool, theatre and library.

“Suttontown was an attractive place to be for families and people were making a conscious choice to send their kids there,” he said. If you stay somewhere 30 years, chances are you are content in your role and Colin could see nothing but upside to life in a small rural school for students, their families and staff.

“You have the same teacher for more than one year and you can really get to know each other,” he said. “And there is such a sense of community. We had students that came to Suttontown from other schools from quite disadvantaged backgrounds and by the time they graduated they were up in front of the school, talking about how welcome they felt and how easy it was to fit it in. The amazing thing for their parents was that they would even have the confidence to stand up and talk in front of the school like that. The kids know everybody in the school, the teachers know everybody in the school and it does make it a close knit place to be.”

Colin’s role also evolved as the school population increased and he went from one day a week as a principal and four days as a teacher when he first started at the school, to being a principal four days a week and a teacher for one.

“When it got to that I was basically

teaching PE and so it was great because I got to teach every kid in the school because I took every class for PE every week,” he said. And Colin isn’t the only staff member who stayed for decades at the Pinehall Avenue school – there are quite a few staff members that have clocked up more than 15 years.

And while it is often thought that Colin was the longest serving principal at the school – he was not. Allan Haddy, who served from 1883 to 1922 – has him covered with his 39 year tenure. “He

was known for walking to school every day, come rain, hail or shine,” Colin said.

“He was principal when the school left the chapel – and they used to have over a 100 kids in the chapel.” And Colin fondly remembers the role the chapel continued to play for the school when he was in charge, with students heading back to the chapel for Easter and Christmas and enjoying hot cross buns at Easter and gifts at Christmas time.

TOP CHAMBER GROUP SET TO VISIT CASTERTON Melbourne Chamber Orchestra’s flagship chamber ensemble Australian Octet, is set to perform three extraordinary works showing the full range of the dramatic, virtuosic and emotional possibilities of chamber music at the Casterton Town Hall this Friday. Shostakovich’s theatrical, short octet is one of the great works of twentieth-century chamber music, Swiss-German composer Joachim Raff brings music brimming with joyous energy and lush melody and finally, Brahms’ youthful and sonorous second sextet brings this chamber music recital to a ravishing close. The Casterton Town Hall performance is at 7.30pm.

BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE FOR OTHERS Four students from St Martins Lutheran College are heading to Fiji this July as part of a house building project.

Emmerine Botha, Joshua Bonanno, Naomi Zwijnenburg and David Zwijnenburg, will be accompanied by teacher Leanne Forbes as part of a Habitat for Humanity project and as part of a contingent of more than 40 students, teachers and youth leaders from five South Australian Lutheran schools.

The Year 11 students have already started their fundraising campaign, netting almost $700 from a school casual day earlier this month which will be put towards building materials, as the quintet work overtime to raise the $3250 needed individually to finance the trip.

The Mount Gambier contingent are part of the eighth team to be sent by South Australian Lutheran schools since 2005 to build houses in the Asia-Pacific region.

While many of us view Fiji as a chance to visit paradise for a holiday in the sun, 35 percent of Fijian citizens actually live in poverty, which is where

these Habitat for Humanity projects come into play. The bottom line is a house leads to a stronger future, enabling learning, good health, better sanitation, secure rights and safety. It is estimated that about 140,000 people, or 17 percent of Fiji’s population, live in one of more than 180 squatter or informal settlement; and that number is unfortunately on the rise. These households lack important facilities, including piped water, adequate sanitation, electricity and rubbish disposal.

While the students have their own fundraising plans in place, the St Martins team is also calling on the community to support their venture, either through cash donations or holding their own fundraising event, such as a barbecue or cake stall.

Anyone wishing to help the team reach their financial goal should contact the school directly.

TRANSFORMING YOUNG LIVES

Year 8 students from Tenison Woods College are set to embark on the Life Changer program following a parent information evening last week to unveil the concept. The program, developed by former AFL player and coach Scott Watters and Ironman Trevor Hendy looks to develop a positive self-identity in young people and empowering them to live the best life possible. The students will participate in five sessions, culminating in a ‘tribe’ event with their families to complete the program, which is called Awaken the Hero Within.

LifeChanger works around a Five Pillar Philosophy – health, self, skills, purpose and tribe. It is aimed at 11-15 year olds and has secured the backing locally of the Castec Rural Supplies Mount Gambier Pioneers and the ANZ Bank, through local manager Darren Wilson and is being facilitated by Nathan Hayes. LifeChanger has been around for 12 months and Mount Gambier is the first South Australian location to take on the youth mentoring opportunity and while it is totally independent of schools, the opportunity to work with school leaders across the region to maximise the outcomes for the students who get involved, and to

ensure it is the most relevant program possible, was the perfect launching pad for kickstarting the program in the community. Nathan’s credentials to head up the Mount Gambier pilot cover a wide range of skills, including experience in senior leadership in the education system, as well as consultancy work in the area of developing leadership capacity, team building and organisational culture.

One of the key cornerstones of the program, though, is community support and since unveiling the program to this region late last year, Nathan has been able to garner that support. “A strength of the LifeChanger approach is that along with the teen workshops, there is a focus on building capacity and capitalising on the amazing people in every community,” Nathan said.

“There have been approximately 30 Mount Gambier locals participate in the mentor training, which means the teen participants will be supported by locals with a wonderful range of life experiences.” Tenison Woods College Director of Wellbeing Jennie Sanderson was excited about what the program would achieve for the participating students. “After the six sessions I hope students will feel comfortable with whom they are and be able to recognise and use their strengths to enhance their life, ultimately becoming empowered.”

TRANSPORT ROUTE WINDFALL The Federal Government has injected $80million dollars into this region courtesy fo the lobbying work of those at the coalface of the Green Triangle Freight Action Plan. The Federal funding was announced by Member for Wannon Dan Tehan and Depuy Prime Minister Michael McCormack earlier this month, meaning combined with State Government finding, four key freight routes to the Port of Portland will now be uipgraded. Green Triangle Freight Action committee chair Karen Stephens said the advocacy group had commanded attention due to its ongoing advocacy efforts, which had illustrated the true toll of the region’s broken road network. She said campaign videos had fetched hundreds of thousands of views on social media, with the community joining the campaign to “fix our key freight roads”. “The collaboration of two States, working closely with industry and government has generated the formula for this excellent funding outcome,” Cr Stephens said, “This is extremely exciting news for our region, particularly our hard working transport sector who are the backbone of our economy. The hard work in formulating the Green Triangle Freight Action Plan provided the strong evidence base to illustrate the economic and social benefits of investing in this broken freight route. Across the region we are seeing road construction crews work tirelessly in rebuilding road pavements to cope with this growing freight task and we welcome more work into the future due to this historic investment.” She said the planning of new windfarms across regional Victoria was forcing greater pressure on key freight routes and the Federal Government’s focus on growing the timber industry nationally with the creation of new forestry hubs had the potential to place further pressure on those routes. “Our economic prosperity is reliant on a good road network and we look forward to seeing the positive outcomes of this critical investment on four of our key freight routes, including the Princes Highway, Henty Highway, Portland-Nelson Road and Portland-Casterton Road,” she said.

CLUB WITH A DIFFERENCE It was established in 2017 and has flourished to become one of the most popular extra-curricular initiatives at Grant High School – Homework Club.

Held every night after school, the concept started with 10 students and his year has around 40 students on the books with 30 of those consistently heading to the new hub to be part of the study initiative, which was instigated by staff member Paula Foote.

“I just saw a need for kids to have a place where they could go and do their homework and also have help there,” Mrs Foote said. “It caters for those who need extra help and also the high fliers, who are looking to extend themselves.”

And not only has the concept been beneficial for students across all stages of development, but also for the staff members who volunteer their time to assist the kids. “It gives both the students and teachers extra one on one time,” Mrs Foote said. “It is allowing the staff to build a really good rapport with the kids.”

And Homework Club doesn’t just nourish the mind but also the stomach, with delicious snacks provided.

Teacher Meg Beck, who specialises in agriculture and science, has been involved since the club’s inception and can see only upside to the after school event. “I have found it is the most helpful thing I could do for any kids in my class feeling overwhelmed,” Ms Beck said. “They can come to homework club and receive extra tuition and not only do the kids love it but the parents love it too. It absolutely helps me build

relationships and it is great for kids who want to push themselves as well.”

Ms Beck also said it was a chance for teachers to model strong work ethic.

“I like to lead by example and they see that I have to do extra work outside of the classroom as well.”

When the teachers aren’t directly assisting a student, they sit in the hub area and take the time to work on lesson plans, create resources or mark assigned work.

Physics and maths teacher Luke Zadow is also a willing ambassador for the program and has also been involved since it was first established. “The kids that attend are really motivated and they appreciate being able to access people who can help them,” he said.

“I think the fact I am there regularly shows the kids I am passionate and I care about their well being.”

The teachers who volunteer at Homework Club work with their own, and other students, and also find that beneficial. “Sometimes a teacher can have a different way of explaining something that just clicks with a student,” Mr Zadow said.

And fellow teacher Liam Goodfellow, who has also been part of the club since the beginning, also saw it as a form of resource for the teachers. “You do get to see how other teachers are presenting and teaching their work and you get a sense of what’s going on in other classrooms and if you see something really cool you can give it a go yourself,” he said. “Some kids do struggle in mainstream classes and the opportunity homework club gives for one on one time is invaluable.And it is good to build relationships outside the classroom. I have also enjoyed the

lifestyle1.net | 06

chance to work with students who I haven’t taught before.”

Homework Club also provides a less confronting environment for students to approach teachers for that extra help or advice. The supervising teachers can always tell when assignment deadlines or tests are approaching as that often sees a small spike in Homework Club attendance. “It is also a great social experience for the kids,” Mr Goodfellow said. “It strikes that balance of being a great social thing and the kids also getting their work done.” He also believes Homework Club has allowed staff to teach the students good study habits and set up good routines for coping with their workload. There is certainly a mix in the hub of students working solo, students getting help and students studying in small groups but no matter what academic reason the students have for being at Homework Club, there is no doubt the food is a highlight for students and teachers alike.

The 2019 students are also fortunate to have access to the school’s two trainees, Sophie Monkley, who was Grant High School’s top Year 12 graduate last year, and Isabel Redemski, who are also on hand to assist the students, and both have shown they are well suited to the role.

COLLECTED STUPIDITY - HUH?… By ROBBIE TANSEL What’s the most commonly uttered phrase at your house?

At the Tansel house it’s definitely, “I already told you that!” It’s not really an exclamation mark that indicates yelling. It’s more a statement of frustration, annoyance and exasperation.

Donna generally says it in relation to something that she “allegedly” told me a number of days before hand. As far as she is concerned I simply never listen to her. It’s interesting because I actually consider myself to be a good listener.

I’m very much of the opinion that we were made with two ears and only one mouth for a reason. We really should do twice as much listening as talking.

As I’m getting older it becomes harder to argue with Donna though.

At my age, it’s entirely possible that I didn’t hear (rather than listen). With the amount of hair in my ears, it’s difficult for sound to get through.

Likewise, I may have listened very well, taken in the information, but the problem may be with my rapidly deteriorating memory. At my age retaining information is extremely challenging.

If it’s not my hearing or my memory, it could simply be a general failure of the brain. Nine years of child

interrupted sleep has done some damage to the grey matter as far as I’m concerned. My brain is very much not functioning at its best and I can’t imagine it’s going to get any better.

It’s interesting how communication deteriorates during the course of a relationship. You would expect that you should actually get better at understanding each other, and communicating as you get to know each other better and better but the exact opposite seems to be the case.

It’s possibly like when you hear the same advertisement over and over again and you just start tuning out to it

whenever it comes on.

If anyone ever doubts that men are women are fundamentally different, look at the way that men listen compared to how women listen and then see how much of the information they’ve retained. Men are extremely skilled at nodding and making noises that they’re in agreement and they’re listening very carefully to what is being said, while taking in absolutely none of what is being said to them. Throughout the entire conversation they were actually thinking about barbecues.

In defence of men everywhere, I think women generally know when

we’re not listening. They just don’t care. They enjoy talking simply for the activity, and whether the other half of the conversation is listening or not is irrelevant. Talking for women is not about communicating information.

To women, talking is simply for the enjoyment of talking. I often think that all superhero villains should be females because they love monologuing so much. Sometimes I imagine that Donna has me tied up hanging upside down above a tank of deadly sharks while she’s talking at me. Just like superheroes in all these movies, I use this time while she’s bragging of her greatness to escape her evil lair. Maybe while I’m imagining this is when I’m missing the information about having to go and see her friend over the weekend.

It’s fair to say, that based on what I’ve written here, I will be tied up, hanging upside down over a tank of deadly sharks by the time you’re finished reading this article.

Let’s be clear, Donna. You didn’t already tell me. Maybe you planned out what you were going to say, but you definitely never opened your mouth and communicated it to me. And how about if you think about only talking when there’s something worth saying.

I’m probably not going to have to worry about Donna talking too much to me over the next couple of weeks. If you know of a good safe house where I can hide until this blows over, email me at robbietansel@gmail.com

MUSIC PROGRAM HITS THE RIGHT NOTE An innovative program at Harbourside Lodge called Singing Strong is striking a new chord with residents who are living with Parkinson’s Disease, post stroke, mild dementia, COPD or for those people who have issues with voice, speech or breathing.

Living with issues that cause a person’s voice quality to deteriorate or decline can result in speech difficulties and in turn, less conversation, social contact and activity.

The Singing Strong program, which has received a financial boost through United Way Glenelg’s Lewis Court Fund, is enabling residents and those who attend the program to express themselves through music and rhythm.

Portland District Health certified practising speech pathologist Suzanne Guerin said people with Parkinson’s and other neurological challenges may have weak voices and their speech may become difficult to understand.

“Singing aloud is not only fun but benefits participants by exercising the lungs and abdominal muscles, strengthening the vocal chords, assisting with regulating breathing and helps with swallowing,” she said. “There is a plethora of research supporting anecdotal evidence of people withdrawing from community and social outlets as their voice deteriorates. The grant from United Way Glenelg Lewis Court Fund will be vital in providing a safe and supportive lifestyle1.net | 23

COMING EVENTS

environment to the many people living in the community diagnosed with Parkinson’s and other vocal concerns.”

Singing Strong is run weekly at Harbourside Lodge with locally known singer Rose Collins or Jess Cook and a group of their musical friends on Wednesdays at 2-3pm. The program is open to all members of the community and is free.

If you would like further information on the Singing Strong program, please contact Suzanne Guerin on (03)5521 0653 Above - Musician Jarman Oakley, resident Dot Merrett, United Way Glenenlg executive officer Nicole Carr, musician Rosie Collins and Portland District Health certified practising speech pathologist Suzanne Guerin.

SECURITY UPGRADE COMPLETE The Mount Gambier and District Saleyards have finalised an upgrade of the security system with the installation of a new system to monitor and support the safety of livestock, business users and visitors to the facility. Recent thefts at the facility saw council resolve to upgrade the 15 year old system as a matter of urgency. Some of the new features and benefits of the system include: • High resolution cameras for better picture quality • Vehicle number plate recognition for vehicles entering and exiting the facility • Broader CCTV coverage of the site extending to loading ramps and the truck wash • Increased capacity for retention of footage • Future capacity to allow remote access This security upgrade builds on other projects completed in 2017-18 including replacing rubber matting in selling pens, purchasing handheld cattle scanners, replacing ramp hoist covers, making safety improvements to the adjustable cattle ramps, as well as the installation of safety and general signage at the facility.

Communities Fund delivers on the Coalition’s ongoing commitment to keep Australians safe and secure.

“Only safe communities can be strong and prosperous, and the best way to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour is to prevent it happening,” said Mr Pasin. Round 4 of the program opened for applications this week with a focus on organisations working with children that are vulnerable to harassment or violence and will see an additional $32 million allocated, bringing the total funding committed through the Safer Communities Fund to $101.9 million between 2016-17 and 2020-21.

GOVERNOR HEADING TO NARACOORTE The Governor of South Australia will be in the region this week and Naracoorte Lucindale Mayor Erika Vickery OAM is inviting everyone to a community morning tea at the Narfacoorte Town Square this Thursday.

TOWN SQUARE MAKEOVER TAKING SHAPE The redevelopment of the town square in Penola continues to take shape with the installation of the new corten panels last week. The design is based on the Aboriginal people’s symbol for ‘meeting place’ and was selected from a range of ideas suggested by art students at Penola High School. Cate Bell was then responsible for interpreting their ideas and creating the art work for JT Profile to laser cut the panels. The project was funded by Bendigo Bank and Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR), with the Town Square Working Group and Wattle Range Council staff all playing a huge part in this community project. lifestyle1.net | 26

LAKE UNDER SURVEILLANCE Wattle Range Council has installed CCTV surveillance cameras at the Millicent Swimming Lake. Wattle Range Council CEO Ben Gower said the decision to install security cameras at the lake has been made following repeated vandalism and antisocial behaviour in the area over a number of years. “This has caused a great deal of inconvenience and significant cost to the community,” Mr Gower said. “Millicent Swimming Lake is a wonderful asset to our community and council regularly receives positive feedback from locals and visitors who appreciate the facility and its wellkept surrounds. Unfortunately, the actions of a few individuals has meant that council has had to take action to ensure that we can continue to provide a family friendly environment for everyone to enjoy.”

NARACOORTE STUDENTS TAKE ACTION

Naracoorte High School was one of lmost 6000 Australian schools which officially registered as a National Day of Action school as part of a nationwide movement celebrating this year’s theme of ‘Bullying. No Way! Take action every day’. The National Day of Action, which was March 15, sees schools taking a stand against bullying and violence providing them with the chance to focus on bullying prevention and the role that we can play to create safer communities for children and young people. The South Australia Department for Education is currently finalising work on its new

bullying prevention strategy that will be introduced later this year.

Students from the Student Governing Council, Year 11 Agriculture class, and staff members prepared and baked more than 380 cupcakes to give out to students, both at the Naracoorte High School and the Independent Learning Centre, which each student also writing a pledge against bullying on the brightly coloured pledge board.

The day was a huge success with many staff and students wearing fluro colours in recognition of the day. The day was funded by the South Australian Department for Education.

GARDEN LANDMARK FACELIFT

BACK TO NATURE FOR LOCAL ARTISTS On Saturday, April 6, hundreds of art enthusiasts are expected to take out their art materials and interpret the South Australian landscape with the help of an established artist.

Since its beginning in 2013, regional communities from across the State have flocked to the free Drawing on Country events where participants bring their pencils, paint, cameras and other arts tools and interpret the landscape around them. People of all ages and abilities are encouraged to come and join in. An artist will be placed at each site to provide advice and some art materials will be available on the day for people to trial.

Each event will begin at 10am going to 4pm, and lunch is provided.

TEMPT THE TASTEBUDS

FIELD DAYS DONATIONS ALMOST AT TWO MILLION DOLLARS The South East Field Days, which were held earlier this month for the 41st time, are all about showcasing everything that is good about life on the land.

From innovation to equipment, from animals to clothes, from local produce to working dog trials and everything in between.

The two day event, which saw record crowds at this year’s event, with more than 30,000 people attending, is also about providing entertainment for the local community and allowing

their city cousins to market new ideas, products and opportunities to a captive audience.

But arguably, most importantly, it is about fundraising with the South East Field Days on the cusp of hitting the two million dollar mark in donations over its 41 year history.

Given the event is coordinated by the Lucindale Lions Club, Lions projects are always supported with just over $16,000 going towards the Lucindale Country Club Annual Lions sponsored golf day, the Australian Lions Childhood

Cancer Research Foundation; Lions Prostrate Cancer Research & Treatment Project; Lions Eye Health Foundation; Lions Medical Research Foundation and the largest handout - $10,000 – to the Lions Skin Cancer vehicle upgrade.

A further $50,000 is poured back into local causes, including supporting Bendigo Bank’s scholarship program; the Lucindale Area School Canberra trip and the Lucindale gazebo. Drought relief also received a windfall, as did the Australian Lions Foundation. Some donations are made from the coffers during the course of the year, while others are officially presented at the next year’s event.

Organisers were again grateful for the unwavering support of the Lucindale and surrounding districts community and have no doubt the 2020 South East Field Days, which are set down for March 20 & 21, will be equally well supported.

2019 DANCE FLOOR DIVAS DECIDED The line-up for the 2019 Swinging With The Stars has been unveiled and it is another eclectic group as focussed on fundraising for the Stand Like Stone Foundation, as they are on nailing the dance routines that will challenge them over the next couple of months of rehearsals.

The eight dancers set to trip the light fantastic at the June 22 gala event at The Barn Palais come from all walks of life but have two things in common – limited dance experience and a desire to raise funds for community projects.

The popular event, now in its 12th year, is the Stand Like Stone Foundation’s major annual fundraiser and this year there are three teachers, an ARIA award winner, a midwife, a farmer, a cellar door manager and a State Title winning shooter joining forces with teachers and choreographers Kim Cella and Paris Ackland, from Hype dance, who, along with the eight trained dancers, will look to mould this group into polished performers, or as close to as possible.

Padthaway’s Andrew Orton, Millicent’s Rob Francis and Emma Laucirica, Coonawarra’s Kate Perry, Kingston’s Bryce Smith, midwife Elle Hood, shooter and media identity Liz

Tickets will be on sale in May from Chapman’s Newsagency, Mount Gambier. For more information on the 2019 Stars or to support your favourite Star in the People’s Choice competition visit www.standlikestone.com.au to make a donation.

Lifestyle1 will again profile all eight dancers in upcoming editions as we follow them on their dance and fundraising journey.

Rymill and Grant High School’s ARIA Award winning teacher Scott Maxwell are the eight in contention for the coveted mirror ball trophy.

The dancers are also in the race for the People’s Choice Award, which goes to the dancer who raises the most money.

All funds raised for Stand Like Stone are held in trust for the benefit of the region and the interest earned is granted back to the local community through scholarships and grants for charitable projects.

FROM PAGE 4 COLIN THE SPORTS GURU Colin also fell into his ABC radio gig somewhat by chance as well. “One of the teachers at McDonald Park was married to the manager of the ABC and they were looking for someone who knew a little bit about a lot of sports but wasn’t really good at anything,” Colin said. “You couldn’t be an A Grade footballer because you needed to be at the radio station by 5pm every Saturday night.” From the time he arrived for the weekly results show he would be fielding calls from Mundulla to Hamilton and everywhere in between with the day’s results. It was a role he filled for 29 years and his wife Jeanette was by his side, manning the phones while her was on air. And along with the evening results show, Colin was also responsible for the 30 minute Saturday morning sports show. He remembers feedback from listeners about mispronunciation or other errors was always forthcoming, and for the most part, appreciated, but he only had one piece of feedback in his 29 years when Alan Richardson simply asked him to tell listeners the time more often and to play more promos. The role grew to include sending scores to the Sunday Mail and providing content for their South East sport section. While the shows remained basically the same for Colin’s almost three decade stint, technology did change how he got the job done. “In the beginning it was nearly all face to face interviews,” he said. “But once technology advanced and the phone lines were so

good, we could do our interviews over the phone. The hardest part, especially when the show used to be at 7am in the morning was having to ask people to get up that early to talk to you.” Colin worked hand in hand with the Saturday morning announcer – he would answer the phones for their gardening segment and they would put through the calls for his sports show. “It was strange that there were people I had spoken to and knew for more than 10 years and had never met because we always spoke on the phone,” he said. “What was really special was seeing how the people who got their start here went on to bigger and better things – Levi Day, Scott Pye, Jess Trengove, Jenna McCormick.” It can be hard to narrow down the highlights of a 29 year career but Colin has two standout memories – the Pioneers Southern Conference championship in 2003 and Andy Caldecott’s career, particularly the sixth place finish in the 2005 Dakar Rally, only to lose his life at the same event a year later. “The Pioneers first championship at home and seeing everybody in the community on the same side was amazing,” Colin said. “It was just reward for a lot of people who had worked so hard for the Pioneers – Beth Serle, Bill Hateley, Bill Cook.”

Colin only used his ABC connection once in his career to get something on air and it was the unveiling of the Andy Caldecott Memorial. “It was the only time and I rang Australia All Over and said you have to know about this story. His was a great story.”

Demons have been so close, so many times, in recent seasons and sometimes the Port MacDonnell based club snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

The script looked similar again at the weekend, as Demons maintained, albeit slim, control of the contest and went into the final innings with a 5-3 lead, just needing to deny Warriors the chance to score and the title would be theirs to enjoy. The bottom of the seventh saw Warriors star and reigning three time league best & fairest Leyna Bruggemann stride to the batter’s box – she cleared the outfield and scored her first home run and ?? safe hit for the match. Then despite being in the second half of its batting line-up, Warriors were able to get runners on base and the nerves were palpable in the field as the Demons players, who had been clinical in the field for most of the contest, started to look shaky, despite needing only one out to secure the title. But in the end, the cream rises to the top and Demons star Cody Manning did just that.

Leanne Mullan made good contact with the pitch but Manning was not to be denied again and she gloved the drive and Demons were crowned premiers.

Manning was also instrumental in the win in the batting box, so much so that at her last time at bat, Warriors intentionally walked the in form batter so she could inflict no more damage on the scoreboard. It was Manning’s two bagger to centre field in the opening innings that scored Bella Morale and gave Demons the early advantage. Not surprisingly, it was Bruggemann that provided the hit that scored Warriors first run and then Angela Queale perfectly placed her first at bat down the first base line to score Bruggemann and give Warriors the early 2-1 lead. After both teams left runners stranded in the second innings, it was at the top of the third that Demons put the foot down.

They scored three runs to take a 4-2 lead with a combination of good batting and some sloppy fielding but Warriors were

quick to hit back and score another run before Demons pitcher Grace Millard ended any further scoreboard damage with a strike out. At the bottom of the fourth Warriors thought they had tied up the contest with an over the fence home run to Bruggemann, but the powerful hit bounced just inside, reducing the damage to a two base hit and Demons were able to close out the innings to maintain their 4-3 lead. Another Warriors error gave Demons their fifth run at the top of the fifth as the match then remained in somewhat of a holding position until that dramatic final innings and Manning’s game ending, title clinching catch. Millard was named MVP for the grand final with a consistent performance in controlling Warriors in the batting box, with only Bruggemann and Queale, really getting hold of the young pitcher with any consistency.

Bella Morale was influential in the batting box – the only Demon with multiple safehits - and clinical in the field at first, while Manning and Mackenzie Millard also had an influence over the win, Millard using her short game to great effect. For Warriors, Bruggemann was a standout, and would have no doubt secured MVP honours should the, then, reigning premiers, have stolen the win, while Queale had two critical hits and Jenna Burston showed great leadership in the field at both second and then behind the catcher’s mask.

BACK TO BACK TITLES FOR TIGERS

Leyna Bruggemann

Tigers are back on top of the Mount Gambier & District Baseball League after a dramatic grand final series, which they claimed 2-0. Friday night’s series opener was a tense affair after Tigers secured the upper hand with a 4-0 lead, only to see South fight back before eventually falling by one run as Tigers rebounded for a 5-4 victory.

Emotions spilled over in the night match and set up a dramatic game two on Saturday afternoon.

Having twinged a hamstring in game one, South coach Bruce Morale, whose grand final series last season was ended prematurely with a knee injury, was able to take the field, placing himself on the pitching mound. Tigers opted for Tyler Horrigan as the starter on the mound in game two, after Brodie Foster has dominated in that role on Friday night.

Horrigan did not disappoint with two strikeouts in South’s first at bat, pitching seven innings and giving very little to the South battery, before being replaced by Karl Ransom for the final two innings.

With the series on the line, both sides were clinical in the field with South’s Damien O’Dine and Tigers’ Ransom also producing early highlights with great catches in the outfield. It was at the bottom of the third that Tigers started to find their rhythm in the batting box and with South committing some errors in the field, Tigers were able to get runners in dangerous situations and Horrigan then stepped into the batting box and did the rest with a two bag hit over centrefield that scored two of his team mates and gave Tigers a lead that they would never look like surrendering. They added another run in the fourth, before Morale was able to limit the damage with a rare strike out but South just could not put any pressure on with the bat remaining scoreless until the top of the sixth when O’Dine made great connection for a two base hit before an error allowed Ben Morale to get to first safely, when it should have been a regulation out, and O’Dine was able to cross the home plate.

Tigers responded immediately though to the minifightback from the Indians, opening with two great hits from Ransom and Jesse Balshaw, that saw another run added, before Dyllan Lan employed his short game to advance the runner and Riley Rolph brought that runner home and the 5-1 lead started to look ominous and when they added another at the top of the seventh and held South again at the top of the eighth, when a double play made light work of the Indians, it seemed a lost

cause. Tigers scored again at the bottom of the eighth but South was not prepared to give it up.

Ben Morale found space down the first baseline with a perfectly placed line drive and courtesy of some scrappy Tigers work in the field, South did have a chance to score but Tigers regrouped quickly and celebrated the successful defence of their 2017/18 title. Ben Marcus, who was clinical in the field and valuable in the batting box took out the Jeanette Burner Award for the grand final MVP. Central won the Division 2 and Division three titles – coming from 0-8 down in division two to secure a 13-12 victory and dominating the Division 3 title decider, with league best & fairest Steve Kuhl dominating form the mound. The Under 15 title also went to Central, South Indians took home the Under 13 Gold title and Tigers Black emerged premiers in Under 13 Blue.

LOCAL SPORT BOWLS CHAMPIONS

DOUGLAS & BARRY EMERGE THE WINNERS Thirteen South East Tennis Seniors enjoyed tennis at Blue Lake Sports Park on earlier this month with Trish Douglas taking out the ladies event from Helen Rathjen and Peter Barry emerging victorious in the men’s draw, from Bill Chapman.

The next event will be held at Corriedale Park, Mount Gambier, on April 14 at 11am.

GREAT CAREER Local racer Rory Button recently announced his retirement from the sport after a long successful career across many classes including dirt karts, wingless sprints and sprint cars. Perhaps the most notable of his many achievements was at one stage holding the Australian title in the Wingless Sprints class. I believe that Rory’s sprint car is on the market but if not sold prior he may make a final local appearance at the Borderline Speedway at the Easter Sprintcar Trail.

RARE ATHLETE What a super athlete Erin Phillips has been.

Currently representing Adelaide in the women’s football league Phillips was recently announced as winner of the 2019 AFL Coaches Association AFLW Champion Player of the Year. Phillips is no stranger to football awards having swept all of the awards in the 2017 AFLW season but more remarkable is that prior to playing in the AFLW she was a star guard for nine seasons at the highest level in the American women’s basketball league as well as representing Australia at Commonwealth Games, World Championships and the 2008 Olympic Games.

Phillips is that very rare breed of athlete that has reached the ‘top of the tree’ in more than one sport.

MARCH MADNESS March Madness is in full swing. The knockout tournament for the American College Division 1 men’s basketball national championship brings together the best 68 college teams from across America to play the elimination tournament with 67 games over 19 days. You’d be forgiven for thinking this wouldn’t be as big as America’s professional sports competitions but it’s so popular that, from a gambling perspective, more money is bet on this tournament than even the Superbowl.

STATE SELECTION FOR CYCLIST Junior Mount Gambier Cycling Club cyclist Tess Wight has been selected as part of the South Australian State Junior team to contest the National Trackn Championships, in Brisbane at the Anna Meares Velodrome, from March 28 to 31. Tess is preparing for the scratch race, points race, 500m time trial, individual pursuit and team sprint. This is her first year racing in the Under 17 category, so she has her sights firmly set on clocking some new personal best times. A placing in any of these races would be a bonus and her ultimate goal.

SOUTH EAST GOLF VETERANS Seventy-two players turned up at Attamurra for the annual South East Golf Veterans Ambrose to end the 2018/19 season. The winners were Vyv Bennison, Graham Sunderland, Eric Roughana & Trevor Williams, who had 56.375 points, and the runners up were Terry Chant, Tony Steen, Derek Bowering & Bobby Childs, on 57.25 points. The weather and course were ideal for scoring but Mike Griffiths, Alex Juokoff, Bryan Coe & Murray Telfer found themselves with the Ross Orchard trophy. The NTPs were won by Terry Chant & Kym Sandford.The South East Veterans Golf raffles have enabled them to heavily subsidise four defibrillators Lucindale, Beachport, Bordertown & Millicent. The other six courses in the South East already the life saving equipment. A trial of a four tee hit off will be trialled at their next outing at Millicent on April 1.

Fifteen swimmers represented the South East at the recent SA Country District Championships in Clare with swimmers from the Penola, Keith Blue Lake Y and MOunt Gambeir swim clubs making up the contingent. Julie Moran, a Mount Gambier Swimming Club coach, headed up the South East team that attended what was an inaugural event.All swimmers were presented with District t-shirts and caps to wear over the weekend.

Australian swim team members Kyle Chalmers and Travis Mahoney attended a dinner with swimmers and spoke about their participation in various sports growing up as country swimmers and having to travel distances to training. They also covered their other sporting achievements, shared nutrition tips and talked about what it takes to prepare for an Olympic Games. All swimmers achieved top three placings and personal best times. The trip was made possible thanks to the support of the District Council of Grant, Wattle Range Council, K & S Fuels, Shes Apples, Sorrentos, Bakers Delight and Woolworths (Commercial Street).

LOCAL SPORT HOCKEY KICKS OFF THIS WEEKEND The 2019 Lower South East Hockey Association season takes off with the first games of the season played late in the afternoon this Friday.

Play will finish under lights and then continue across the weekend and over the following 23 weeks leading up to the 2019 grand finals. The LSEHA is proud to field one of the largest sporting competitions in the South East with a total of 60 teams competing across 10 divisions, including two junior age groups. The association also has a nunber of junior development programs.

Both the Division 1 Men and Division 1 Women competitions have a revamped feel to them this season with player departures, arrivals, retirements and movements potentially having a big impact on proceedings. In the Division 1 Men’s competition, Tigers will justifiably start the season as warm favourites while West, lea’d by league best & fairest Jason Steen will be keen to avenge their loss in last year’s decider.

It could come down to a battle of the young guns with talents like Jarod Burston and Brady Cooper looking to become a more important component of the Tigers team while West have a few quality youngsters of their own. Both Tigers and West had better watch their backs though as Strikers will be snapping at their heels ready to pounce on every opportunity to gain premiership points. The dark horse in the pack is

the combined Cavaliers/Portland team. Portland has been absent from Division 1 for a number of years and with the opportunity now before them their younger players have the opportunity to really test themselves. Combined with the experienced Cavaliers veterans they are not to be underestimated. There is the potential for a shift in power in Division 1 Women. West has been the dominant team for a number of years but the loss of a few key players to further studies and retirement will mean that the weight of expectations falls on a smaller veteran presence.

Players such as Michelle Clarke and Angela Broad will need plenty of support from the younger generation. Tigers and Redbacks both have a strong contingent of younger players who will

provide a great challenge. This could be the time for Dana Jones and her Tigers teammates or Claudia Edmonds and co. from Redbacks to grab that elusive flag. The junior competition is looking like a very tight affair. Lower South Hockey Association junior coordinator Steph Ward sees a very close year ahead. “Under 15 Boys looks like being a tight contest between Strikers and West,” Ward said. “Stikers look to have everyone’s number in Under 15 Girls but they can’t under estimate Tigers or West.” Both of the Under 12 competitions are entirely unpredictable with Strikers, Cavaliers, Tigers and West all in the hunt in the Under 12 Boys, while Strikers, Tigers, Redbacks and West are all a chance to hold the Under 12 Girls premiership trophy aloft come

September. LSEHA Director of Hockey Lochie Nisbet rightly has plenty to looks forward to his season. With some of the best facilities already in South Australia already in place, future works are planned to make the facilities even more inviting for locals and visiting teams. “I’m keen to upgrade the facilities for the comfort of both spectators and players and to help create a friendly environment for watching and participating in hockey,” the director of hockey said. Nisbet also has his sights firmly set on the field of play with a goal to increase the level of competition and increase numbers by attracting new members with the lure of our great facilities and the quality coaching that is on offer at all clubs. “Ultimately we want to make ourselves a force in sport in the South East and Western Victoria,” Nisbet said. ”We’re reaching out to regional associations with the aim of developing a regional competition.

We’ve got the drive and people to get that done.

It might not be this year but we’ll get it done.”

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED The final piece of the puzzle for the OneForty One Mount Gambier Pioneers women’s team has fallen into place with the signing of a second US import, Pachis Roberts. The 24 year old attended the University of Georgia where she averaged 14.5 points, six rebounds and three assists per game in the 2016-17 season. “Bringing Pachis into the group will give us more flexibility in our rotations and a player that can defend and play nearly every position on the court,” Pioneers women’s head coach Matt Sutton said. The Pioneers were hopeful Roberts would be ready to suit up for the March 30 clash against Norwood at the Icehouse.

“Bringing Pachis into the group will give us more flexibility in our rotations and a player that can defend and play nearly every position on the court,” Sutton said. After a narrow loss to reigning champions North Adelaide and a disappointing loss to the hard running Sturt line-up, the Pioneers bounced back to record their first win for the Premier League season in their Icehouse debut against Southern Tigers on March 17. “I’m really happy with how the girls have been developing and working so hard for each other,” Sutton said.

“Winning their first game as a group was a great reward for their early efforts.” Both the men’s and women’s team did not play at the weekend and are looking to replicate their home court success from round two when they host Norwood this Saturday night.

ROAD RACE A FAMILY AFFAIR Race six of the summer series was a 36km race which had the scratch riders average 40kmh to secure the race finish. Sean Angus crossed the line first and fastest, from Scott Waters, second, and Nicholas Kidman holding on from the second scratch group to gain third. The race proved to be a hit out for the family groups with Phil Angus returning to the racing scene to join son Sean (pitcyred above). Josh Waters started his first senior race joining proud mum and dad, Scott and Michelle, on the course.

SOUTH WEST SERIES CONTINUES The second race of the South West Series, the Greg Gleeson Memorial Race, was run earlier this month at Wangoom by the Warrnambool Cycling Club. Seven members of the Mount Gambier Cycling Club travelled to the event with four seniors - Spek Peake, Jack Patzel, Matt and Jack Opperman competing in the 60km senior race. Patzel fared the best coming in fourth with Peake and Matt Opperman finishing outside the top 10. The juniors, having their first race for the season, were represented by Harry Opperman as the sole MGCC member in the Under 15/17s 20km race, starting in the four minute bunch with fellow Hamilton riders, Tegan and Rhyan Menzel, Harry finished sixth in warm conditions. U/11 and U/13s combined were presented with an exceptionally hilly course for the young riders to tackle. Both Molly Opperman and Freya Miller gave up three minutes to Asha Graham on the start line with the older and much stronger U/13s favourably handicapped for what turned out to be a hot and fast paced raced. Freya and Molly chased down Asha with all three girls crossing the line with only a blankets throw separating them in a sprint finish to the line. Next week the juniors head to Hamilton, continuing to race as part of the South West Series. Overall points for the series sees Spek Peake in fourth with 29 points, just one point behind the two leaders and on equal points with third. Jack Patzel is currently in sixth with 27 points just three points off the leader, Above (top) - Proud dads with the, U/11 placegetters (riders from left) - Freya Miller (2nd), Asha Graham (3rd) & Molly Opperman 1st. Well done by all! so it’s all very close at this early stage of the series.
