Cover - Optus presents Fringe Mount Gambier is back and bigger than ever!

The cancellation of the Fringe Mount Gambier Lift Off Street Party this Friday night and Saturday’s Fringeland extravaganza might mean a more low key start to 10 days of the popular arts festival but it does not mean people cannot still enjoy the array of ticketed events running from March 20-29 through the city.

From a quirky and thought provoking take on a classical Greek myth to a behind the scenes look at an acclaimed TV series, from hilarious kids entertainment to some more adult laughs at the Fringe Mount Gambier’s range of comedy acts, from logic defying magic to the colour and energy of a variety of visual arts exhibitions.

Metro Bakery & Café is hosting a critically acclaimed take on the Greek myth Orpheus & Eurydice in this quirky little gem of a show, told in two sittings, this Saturday at 3pm and then 8pm. It is delightfully performed by its actors and is as profound as it is entertaining and it looks at making changes, taking leaps, and being a daily superhero, told through a fusion of hair raising spoken word and original, live, soulful music. Orpheus & Eurydice sits in between spoken word poetry, an acoustic gig and a theatre show.

For film buffs there are three events of note. The Riddoch Art Gallery is hosting the Cleverman exhibition which takes a behind the scenes look

at the making of the ABC TV series, and the Main Corner Dress Circle is running Real to Reel: The Craft Film Festival, which has two parts and will run this Sunday and Sunday, March 29, both screening at 1pm.

Chelsea Manor offer a fresh new take on punk rock. Bianca, Ivan and Michael are on an attitude filled, hard hitting adventure providing powerful anthems bolstered by catchy choruses that stick with you for days. Since a debut at triple J’s One Night Stand, they’ve hit the gig scene and garnered serious buzz for their EP. They’re excited to be hitting the stage at Unplugged @ Wehl with Louise Adams.

The South East Art Society, photographer Kate Hill, Thumbprint Inc. and the digital and body art of Dreambolic Art are all on the visual arts program, while for those looking for the unpredictability of cabaret and burlesque, there are shows at the Limestone Coast Pantry, 5290 Bar & Function and Mac’s Hotel so step outside your comfort zone and be prepared to be thoroughly entertained.

The Limestone Coast Pantry, the home of cabaret, will be hosting one of the program highlights - Sophisticated Ladies: Great Women in Jazz, by local performers, Fi and Frenz.

From the James Morrison Academy, to the soulful funk of Sleuth, from Mondo Rock’s Eric McCusker to former local Adrian Holmes, the music program is jam packed, also including

2020 AUSTRALIAN YARD DOG CHAMPIONSHIPS YAKKA PARK • LUCINDALE March 17-20

shows that highlight The Beatles, Bon Jovi and rising Aussie star Harmony Byrne, fresh from touring with The Teskey Brothers.

The Gambier Hotel is the comedy hub across the Fringe festival, hosting a diverse range of acts to get your laughter flowing.

Making a

e c n e r e f f i D

Marita Tarrant’s relationship with Cambodia started in 2006 when she first travelled to the South East Asian country. “I was blown away, not only by the extreme poverty around me, but by how happy and resilient the Khmer people were, despite their circumstances,” she said.

Marita started doing her bit to help almost immediately and in the same way many of us look to make life better for people in third world countriews – she sponsored a child.

But it did not end with her financial support for 14 year old Khai, through the Cambodian Children’s Trust, she also did a bicycle and school pack run for the Ponheary Ly Foundation.

“The Ponheary Ly Foundation has a program where each Year 6 graduating student receives a bicycle to ensure they can continue their education,” Marita said. “Once children finish primary school that is the end of their education with one of the main reasons being transport as often high schools are just too far away for a lot of the small villages and therefore children cannot get there.”

Tapping into the generosity of her family and friends, Marita was able to provide 40 bicycles, matching that donation with the funding of 40 school packs, which include a backpack filled with basic school supplies.

This initial foray into lending a helping hand saw Marita up the ante the following year as she ploughed into a project to build a house for a single mother, Davi, through the Cambodian Children’s Trust.

Davi was living in hell on earth before Marita’s intervention through the trust. She had four children and a grandchild in her care and no protection from an abusive husband who beat and raped both her and her eldest daughter but once the Cambodia Children’s Trust got involved, Davi’s husband was arrested and incarcerated and her eldest daughter, who had run away, was returned home.

The problem was, that was a home on a side of a mountain with a wooden platform as a floor and sheets for walls. “We were able to raise enough

money to buy Davi and her family a beautiful home on her own piece of land where she and her children could live safely with locked doors and windows,” Marita said.

After continuing to make monthly contributions to both her sponsor child, Khai, and the Cambodian Children’s Trust, Marita decided to take matters into her own hands in 2017 and that is when the Cambodian Rice Run was born.

“I had seen a charity doing rice runs, which was something that was important to me and I knew how important food was for the Khmer people,” Marita said. It was a lesson she had learnt during her association with the Ponheary Ly Foundation, which ran a school lunch program, where she saw children preferring to take the provided meal home to share with their families rather than enjoy themselves.

“Imagine a six year old child not eating their lunch because they would prefer to take it home and share with their parents and other siblings – that thought blew me away,” Marita said.

So Marita made some connections and her rice run project was born.

“…the rice really makes a difference in their lives…”

“Basically I convince family and friends to pay for 50 kilograms of rice and send a personalised message of love and support to the family set to receive the much needed donation,” Marita said. “A 50kg bag will last a family of four approximately two to three months.”

As is so often the case with projects of this ilk, Marita was overwhelmed

“…Imagine a six year old child not eating their lunch because they would prefer to take it home and share with their parents and other siblings…”

by the response to her concept and her initial goal of providing 100 bags of rice was eclipsed with 194 bags eventually delivered on her first run.

In 2019, she aimed to hit the 200 mark for bags provided and 433 was the final tally, with her Cambodia Rice Run project servicing three main villages, as well as some outlying families.

On both visits, Marita has shed tears of joy and sorrow, but what she does know is she is making a difference.

“The rice really makes a difference in their lives,” she said. “My only regret is that we can’t supply it on a full time basis.”

From the 78 year old grandmother who currently looks after 12 abandoned children in her village to the widow with no means to support her two children, everywhere Cambodia Rice Run hands out a bag of rice there is a heart breaking yet uplifting story.

This May, Marita will be off to Cambodia again. She started her 2020 campaign in earnest last month and is halfway to her goal, having sold 251 of her target 500 bags. The current cost of a 50kg bag is only $36.

Marita works in conjunction with the non-government organisation ABCs and Rice, which works on the ground in Cambodia and provides her local contacts and distribution.

ABCs and Rice offers free education, nutrition and healthcare to children of Siem Reap Cambodia in the Sala and Kroligne Village areas. At times, it is also a safe haven for children otherwise vulnerable to child labour, neglect and in some cases abuse. Often families will struggle to send all or some of their children to school due to overbearing poverty, especially in the villages.

In some instances, economics outweigh their desire for their children to be educated. ABCs and Rice understands this challenge and works with the local village chiefs to target the families in the most need by offering them a place at the school. This in turn gives the family access to the rice program. ABCs and Rice takes a holistic view of education and community empowerment.

elinda Tilley’s work in the self-empowerment space has already seen her nominated for a 2019 SA Public Education Award, where she was named a finalist, and now she is focussing her attention on disadvantaged women in the Limestone Coast community.

A strong locally based advocate for mental health and wellbeing, Belinda developed I-Myself, which focussed on delivering a framework for young people, and officially launched in as a result of the Flinders University Venture Dorm Accelerator program.

Now with two years of clear evidence the program is powerfully changing lives giving young people and individuals the weight in the boots to empower changed futures.

“I-Myself is a pre-emptive approach to the complex issues being experienced by young people and many individuals,” Belinda said. “It is a self-empowering teaching framework that targets the core elements of individual self equity, developing self-confidence, self-worth, self-belief and purpose.”

Belinda is now taking elements of the I-Myself strategy, which was not only a finalist in the South Australian education awards but also SA Community Achiever Awards, the Mount Gambier Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Business Awards and a raft of other education and health honours, and looking to

partner with the community on a new project – Herself.

The four month pilot project will target disadvantaged women, who, through circumstances including family violence, sudden death or separation, need to reframe their future, including employment opportunities and building selfreliance.

It is a project all about collaboration, from the funding of the project, through the generosity of a Stand Like Stone Foundation Capacity Building Matching Grant, as well as support from the City of Mount Gambier, OneFortyOne and Women in Business & regional development, to the participants and the mentors.

Not only is the program aiming to change the lives of 10 local women and their families, who are granted scholarships to complete the program, but it is also set to train 20 women as community mentors, to complement the 20 week program, which centres on community mentoring, friendship networking and other individual training.

“The mentors will gain transferable skills that will increase their capacity to impact other people in their spheres of influence, their workplace and families,” Belinda said.

Belinda held an information evening on Monday and is now on the hunt, not just for potential mentors and scholarship nominees but community partners.

“Concerned individuals, businesses and organisations in the community will have opportunity to many individuals and businesses to do something, to do some good,” Belinda

said. “This is a chance for community groups, businesses and individuals to be part of doing some good and bring change for those experiencing disadvantage so we are looking for contributions when all harnessed together can make a big difference.”

And Belinda is not just talking financial, although there are sponsorship opportunities ranging from $500 to $3000 but also offering your skills in kind to help facilitate the project, including printing, accounting, catering, accommodation, venues, hair, make up & styling and a raft of other skillsets that will hep make this pilot project a success.

“You can feel confident your contribution, financial, or in kind, will change the lives of 10 individuals who’ve been struggling right here in our own community,” Belinda said.

“Your giving will empower these individuals to reach for and create a happier, better life.”

Anyone interested in supporting the program financially, with in kind support, being trained as a mentor or taking part as a scholarship recipient should contact Belinda Tilley on 0402 681 620 or email b@belindatilley.com

Getting off to the best possible start A library bag filled with the essential items to start at kindergarten, including a lunch box and drink bottle, is being supplied to Glenelg Shire’s youngest residents to ensure they receive the best possible start to their learning and development.

Glenelg Shire Council in partnership with Portland District Health’s Maternal Child Health team is providing the transition kits to children participating in Maternal Child Health checks in an effort to encourage enrolment in early start

kindergarten, particularly targeting vulnerable children.

The project is part of a statewide Central Enrolment project established in partnership with the Municipal Association of Victoria and funded by the State Government.

Glenelg Shire children’s services manager Janine Johnstone said the bags were an important marketing tool, highlighting the large breadth of support services on offer for children transitioning into early learning.

“Importantly these bags are

encouraging greater participation in maternal child health key stage visits, which are an important method to identify ways to support a child’s health, growth and development giving them the best possible start in life,” Ms Johnstone said.

“Furthermore, we know it is critical that children have access to at least two years of kindergarten in these early years to ensure they have the best possible start to their learning journey.

“The evidence shows that two years of participation in quality kindergarten programs at an earlier age leads to positive effects on a child’s development and has even greater benefits for children who need extra support or who may be in vulnerable circumstances.

“Children participating in maternal child health two and three-anda-half-year-old key age stage appointments will receive a library bag in an important step towards guiding families to make the important measure towards enrolling their children into a learning stream.”

The calico library bag was designed by local indigenous artist Jenna Bamblett.

Whilst including important items to store food and drink, it also features a toothbrush and toothpaste, an age appropriate book, a colouring book and pencils, a junior library card, and important information on various early learning and health services across the shire.

Ms Johnstone said the State-led Central Enrolment system had been successfully targeting vulnerable families, ensuring they are identified early and proactively engaged and enrolled in high quality kindergarten programs.

“There is evidence to suggest that central enrolment has a positive impact on the engagement of vulnerable children in kindergarten

programs,” she said.

“The Department’s internal Early Start Kindergarten: Annual Participation Report 2016 found that between 2014 and 2016 there was an increase of 61 per cent in the number of Early Start Kindergarten enrolments in local government areas that participated in the central enrolment program, compared to an increase of 31.6 per cent in nonparticipating areas.”

ex and Kay Hocking have shared a passion for working dogs and they have been at the forefront of the South East Field Days Yard Dog Championships for 20 years. 2020 marks the couple’s swansong as convenors of the yard dog event and fittingly, Yakka Park is hosting the Australian Yard Dog Championships as part of this year’s field days.

And Rex and Kay will need every bit of that two decades of experience with a record field of dogs and handlers set to tackle the two permanent courses, as well as the third course, designed and constructed this week ensure everyone gets their time to shine at the 2020 Australian Yard Dog Championships.

“It has been completely overwhelming to see the number of dogs and handlers coming to Lucindale,” Rex said. “Building the third course is a lot of work but we just need to get the numbers through and we are so grateful for the support of all the competitors as well as Coprice and the other local businesses that have got behind the event.”

Lucindale also hosted the national event last time it was hosted in South Australia, six years ago, but the 2020

numbers are definitely stronger with 70 handlers with 300 dogs set to compete in more than 400 runs over what has been extended to a four day event, from March 18-21.

And of course, it also means plenty of sheep will get the call up for the national championships with 2000 head expected to be put through their paces by some of the nation’s next dogs.

More than just a second hand book store.

“The standard of dogs coming to Lucindale this year is amazing,” Rex said. “We have always seen some of the country’s best handlers and their top dogs but this year we have eight former national champions and I am especially excited about some of the up and coming young dogs out of New South Wales that will be looking to make their mark.”

The 2020 championships loom as one of the largest dog trials ever held in Australia so Rex and Kay will not be able to take a breath and truly enjoy their final sting as event organisers before heading the reins to locals Travis Ware (picturd top right), who is a genuine shot at taking the top prize, and Darren Jenke.

They are great local lads and they will do a great job when they take over,” Rex said.

Rex, is actually one of the eight national champions in the field and will be running eight dogs across the competitions on offer. “I’m one of the old ones now but I will be working hard and enjoying myself and who knows what can happen,” he said.

Travis Ware enters the national competition on the back of his performance, finishing top two, at the SA title in Clare last year and along with Rex, holds the hopes of the small South East town to keep the national title basically at Yakka Park.

Standing in their way is reigning national champion Chris Stapleton, from New South Wales, who will be part of a big XSW contingent, after last year’s New South Wales based judge spread the word about the standard of facilities and competition at the South East Field Days. Chris has taken home the national title six times, one more than another local favourite, Joe Spicer (pictured bottom right), from Glenthompson, and a long lifestyle1.net | 08

time supporter of the Lucindale event. He last was crowned the best in Australia in 2016.

The 2020 national title comes down to 25 dogs – the 11 that have prequalified for the Australian Yard Dog Championships, and the 14 best dogs that work their way through qualifying at Lucindale.

Lucindale’s courses have long been considered the most picturesque in Australia but they are also some of the most challenging and the dogs and their handlers will need to be at the top of their game to navigate the paddock, race, truck section and bridge, if they hope to be in contention for the top title.

“I always think my dogs are a chance and I love testing myself and them against the best of the best and it would be great to earn a spot in the national championship final,” Rex, who has been competing for almost four decades, said.

Anyone interested in seeing these amazing dogs in action can head to Yakka Park from Wednesday when the novice, improver and maiden events will kick off the program that will culminate the best of the best duking it out for the national title.

Judges for the 2020 championships will also have put in the miles with Ken Atherton travelling from Western Australia and new South Wales based judge Matthew Sherwood.

With the cancellation of the South East Field Days, it is now free for spectators to come and see the best in Australia in action and there will still be full catering on site.

Library cafe set for makeover March 19

City of Mount Gambier has partnered with Limestone Coast Pantry to continue operation of the Bookmark Café, located within the Mount Gambier Library. Council resolved to enter into a service agreement with the local business at its meeting last month, following an expression of interest process resulting from the retirement of the previous operator.

Council considered business proposals from interested parties to enable the provision of an ongoing hospitality service for Library patrons. “We are pleased to have the Limestone Coast Pantry team at the Bookmark Café and look forward to working together with a clear focus on ensuring outcomes that also benefit the community,” Mount Gambier Library Manager Georgina Davison (pictured above right) said.

As an established local business with multiple outlets in the city, Limestone Coast Pantry have expressed their passion for the community and see opportunities to contribute to broader council and community objectives through operation of the centrally located café. “We see this as a wonderful opportunity to partner with the library and council to enhance the experience of locals and visitors to the civic and arts and culture precinct,” Limestone Coast Pantry director Lyn McLachlan (pictured above right) said. “We have already partnered with many local organisations and see huge potential in the space of the Bookmark Café to further grow these partnerships.” Upgrade works are set to commence onsite in coming months in order to meet compliance requirements that have changed since the site was first established 10 years ago. “Works will include replacement of aged equipment and relocation of the service area away from the automatic doors to reduce congestion following feedback from both customers and the previous operator,” Ms Davison said. Further works will be referred to Council’s 2020/2021 budget deliberations, with input from the new operator. The Bookmark Café is located at 6 Watson Terrace within the Mount Gambier Library and is operational from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm on Saturdays and 11am to 2pm on Sundays.

Setting the record in September last year, Jeanne took the east bound route, and she is set to tell of her incredible journey – not just the record breaking adventure – at a special evening in Mount Gambier on Monday, March 23, as part of the Fringe Mount Gambier.

It is a story that dates back almost three decades and has as many twists and turns as the changing of the tides, and as many ups and downs as the waves she has battled since she was 48 years old, when she first took to the high seas to learn to sail.

It was a passion project, a long term plan for her golden years with her husband George, and while cancer stole George in 2003, the former maths and science teacher continued

1983 - Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean was number one on the Billboard charts. He also hit the number one position later that year with Beat It and Say, Say, Say, with Paul McCartney.

to tick off their shared bucket list, defying the odds every step of the way.

Jeanne does have cherished memories of sailing with George after the couple took delivery of Nereida in July 1997, picking up their beloved cruiser in Sweden and embarking on their first journey together taking in Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands on their way back to England.

And there was much more time spent on the sea, visiting Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Grenada, the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, before her husband’s 2001 cancer diagnosis.

It wasn’t until May the following year that the couple resumed their adventure, heading for Tobago & Trinidad and then Venezuela, where the uncrowded island anchorages perfectly suited a couple looking to make the most of every moment together.

“…I continued on alone - but it was quite a daunting task…”

Her first solo voyage was bittersweet – scattering George’s ashes at sea after his March 2003 death – but she was determined that her seafaring journeys would continue.

“I continued on alone - but it was quite a daunting task, getting to know the various systems on board Nereida and dealing with a variety of problems,” Jeanne said. “Fortunately, boat friends, then, as nowadays, would come to my rescue with helpful advice, useful tools, perhaps some muscle, often expertise I lacked and lots of moral support.

“But it soon became clear to me that, if I wanted to persevere with sailing and living on board Nereida, practical problem solving was something I had to expect to have to learn to cope with.”

Jeanne’s determination to continue a life spent primarily on the ocean kickstarted a 15 year campaign, involving a number of incredible journeys and yacht races before she completed that ultimate goal she had set herself – becoming the oldest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world.

The setbacks were many but on September 7 last year, the 77 year old was triumphant.

It is a life well lived that has given her a myriad of stories to tell with the One Woman Four Oceans event at Mount Gambier’s Main Corner sure to entertain and, no doubt, inspire.

An Evening of Conversation with Jeanne Socrates is at 7pm on Monday, March 23, with tickets $20 and available from Chapman’s Newsagency or at the door.

Dear Robbie 44...

I got this very profound and thought provoking email this week.

“Dear Robbie, Females outnumber males at my workplace by about six to one. Apparently a problem has been occurring in a unisex toilet recently, where urine has found its way onto

the floor and toilet seat. A female employee recently interrogated me as to whether I was the culprit. It’s not me.

Based on the male to female ratio, isn’t it six times more likely the culprit is in fact female? Warren from Warrnambool.”

I’d never thought of it that way… that makes perfect sense. This is very typical of the man-bashing that we all have to suffer through now.

I wrote a series of articles last year where I discussed how accurate men actually are when urinating.

Studies have found that we get 99% of our urine in the target area.

That’s simply remarkable. We’re amazing.

As if that’s not incredible enough, we do it while standing up and from a distance.

As you’ve pointed out, Warren, it’s most likely the women are getting it on the ground, and they’re doing that

while sitting down and not far from the toilet.

That’s sort of amazing in its own way (I wonder how they do that), but also a bit disappointing.

I’m sure the ladies would give us some excuse…I mean reason, as to why they pee sitting down.

I think we can pretty quickly and easily draw the conclusion that they’re just not as good at it as men.

I’ll be honest with you ladies. I think the two key areas you need to work on are confidence and getting in some extra practice. Give yourselves some positive self talk. “I can do it.”

Maybe put up an inspirational cat poster on the wall above the toilet (but another hint from a seasoned pro: keep your eyes on the target, not the poster.)

While I’m giving hints, it’s all about your follow through…or is that when kicking a football? Doesn’t matter. I’m sure it’s still relevant.

If the ladies out there aren’t convinced by my brilliant logic so far, I think it’s worth considering the whole corona virus problem at the moment.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that sitting on that seat, shared by dozens of other butts has to be a breeding ground for bacteria and germs.

Come on ladies. Pee standing up for the sake of people who are seventy or over and have a mortality rate of ten percent if infected with the virus. Before someone decides to put that on a poster, it’s my intellectual property so you can’t.

I do get a bit sick of men getting blamed for everything. The FBI recently shared a post celebrating the seventieth anniversary of their most wanted fugitive list. Sure enough, all the most wanted fugitives pictured are men.

What about a bit of equal representation for the ladies. I saw a lady take nine items through the eight items or less aisle of the supermarket recently. Surely that warrants a place in the top five.

Anyway, I think I’ve well and truly proved my point and can now indulge myself with something else that caught my attention and is nothing to do with the poor treatment of men in our twenty first century world.

Reputable news outlets can no longer be relied upon for accurate news. I read a Nine News social media post a few weeks ago which reported, “JUST IN: A car and pedestrian have collided on Anzac Highway at Glandore opposite the Kurralta Park Shopping Centre.

There are no life-threatening injuries reported, but there could be long delays for Glenelg-bound traffic.”

Hey Nine. A car and a pedestrian can’t collide. A car hits a pedestrian.

If the pedestrian is colliding with a car, that wouldn’t be newsworthy.

The car might have a minor ding, the pedestrian probably has a bruise on their knee, and everyone gets on with their day. If there are going to be long delays for traffic, that would indicate that there were decent injuries and mess. That is only possible if the car hit the pedestrian, not the other way around.

Hang on. That probably does relate to my earlier points. I bet the driver was a woman, and she’d just come from a unisex toilet. She saw a poor innocent man crossing the road and decided to run him over for his perceived crime of once peeing on a toilet floor, when it was probably a woman practicing peeing standing up and she should have been encouraged to persevere through her early failures. FAIL = First Attempt In Learning. Am I right?

If you’ve ever heard a wrestling commentator say that each of the competitors in a fatal four way match have a twenty five percent chance of winning and been frustrated at their lack of understanding of chance events, compared to events that involve skill, you probably didn’t appreciate the six to one ratio business earlier so you should email me at robbietansel@gmail.com and I’ll forward it on to a Maths teacher.

TIME TO

Recycling on a whole new level is set to capture the imagination of young people throughout Glenelg Shire.

A Youth Clothes Swap will take place this Saturday at the Portland Library from 11am, inviting youth aged between 12-25 years to refresh their wardrobe with hand-picked recycled pieces.

The concept is giving young people to provide their unwanted clothes a new life while finding new items to love at a fun, sustainable event.

Glenelg Libraries’ children’s and youth library officer Casey Marlow said the event aimed to break the cycle of

fast fashion and help young people in the Shire embrace the idea of a sharing economy.

“Clothes swapping is a small, but effective way to help curb fashion waste,” Casey said. “The trends are quite alarming - currently Australia

is one of the biggest fashion wasters in the world, throwing out up to 30 kilograms of clothing a year per person.

“This event will help to remind young people that despite the convenience of fast fashion, there are more affordable and environmentally friendly options to refresh your wardrobe.

“It will be first in, first pick of the clothing options, so make sure you arrive by 11am on Saturday to ensure you grab your favourite new, pre-loved pieces.

To learn more about the Youth Clothes Swap please contact the Glenelg Libraries on (03)5522 2265 or visit the Facebook page.

Above - Tovi Kitt and Gemma Withers are preparing for the upcoming Clothes Swap.

Nut-free cacao and coconut bliss balls 1 cup (90g) rolled oats 2 tablespoons cacao powder or cocoa powder 12 pitted fresh dates

1 cup (80g) desiccated coconut 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut, extra to coat

Method Process rolled oats, cacao powder or cocoa powder, dates, 1 cup desiccated coconut and maple syrup in a food processor until almost smooth and well combined. Place another 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut on a plate. Roll 2-tablespoons portions of mixture into balls. Roll in coconut to evenly coat.

Place on a lined tray in the fridge for 1 hour or until set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Autumn appears to be here, with damp dewy morning and crisp nights and has certainly made us extremely busy in the nursery, not only with customers, but with all the processes of potting, propagating at our Gardenarium Nursery, and our Limestone Coast Roses and Limestone Coast Advanced Trees, part of our sister companies, which are preparing the trees and roses in the paddocks for the run down to harvesting.

Yes, it’s hard to believe that in a few weeks’ time we will begin the process of digging our dormant (often referred to as bare rooted stocks).

We have been extremely busy with the lack of summer heat and spring like conditions and haven’t been this busy in January and February for years!

The little bits of rain here and there have been welcome for gardeners and land owners all around the region with storms set to hit us as I write this article.

Fruit and nut trees at up to 50 % off, a massive bonus as you are getting three and four year old trees that are well into fruiting and far less cost than the new bare rooted season stock, with the added bonus of not having to wait so long for a good crop of fruit.

Plus there has been a huge flurry of customers all eager to do things in the garden as this fantastic planting weather continues.

Autumn is such a great time to plant, as the soil warmth is there, but we have the guarantee of cooler weather and, of course, rain.

This year the lack of spring planting for most people has spurred us on to have some Autumn specials on ornamental trees, fruit and nut trees, as well as berries, grapes, blueberries, kiwi fruit and much more.

From March 18th to the 29th April at 5pm, we will be having a massive up to half price tree sale to make way for the new season’s trees that we will be digging out of the paddock plus a Garage Sale to clear some pots, oudoor furniture, fountains, birdbaths and many gift lines ready for our next buying trips to bring in some new ranges for Easter and Mother’s Day. There’s always something going on at Gardenarium & The Pot Shop, Limestone Coast Roses We are clearing all of the trees and fruit trees in our retail advanced tree and fruit tree section on Bay Road in Mount Gambier to make room for a further expansion to our advanced trees section and this can only mean one thing - bargains all round.

Yes, all of our ornamental, flowering, shade, avenue and street trees, along with fruit, nut, kiwi fruits etc. will be up to 50% off, with a few of the $15 fruit trees in our clearance bins still remaining – but be quick! lifestyle1.net | 24

By Calum Haygarth Landscape Architect & Horticultural Consultant Planting trees now, whilst the ground is warm, will get some amazing growth, but the main factor is that the plants will be well settled in for next spring.

All of the 2020 new release ornamental trees and fruit trees are going on our website www. gardenarium.com. au/trees in the next few weeks.

The star attraction (see image above) this year will see Limestone Coast Advanced Trees release another dwarf growing ornamental pear and set to be as popular as the dwarf Capital pear has been for us over the past two years.

This time a more rounded tree similar to a Chanticleer but instead of growing so tall and outgrowing most suburban gardens where often people are seeing how tall they grow and cutting the tops out which look quite ugly.

Order early as again we are fairly booked up with orders already.

The 2020 new release roses will hopefully be on our website in the next few days and maybe by the time this goes to print - a timely reminder to get your rose and tree orders in for new season’s dormant (bare rooted) stock that can be ordered online at any time or call in to the nursery or ring your order through.

Bear in mind that most of our roses are sold interstate now with our huge online presence and massive range of roses, which is one of the biggest if not the biggest range in Australia.

Not many people locally know how much stock leaves our nursery everyday for New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and lots in to South Australia.

For this reason alone it is doubly important if you want to secure any of the new season’s releases to get your orders in soon, as much of our stock is already sold out or close to sold out.

Don’t leave it until the roses and trees are dug to come in and expect all the new releases to be available.

The biggest stars of last two seasons was the new release rose Unconventional Lady – whose proceeds will aid the running of the large rose conference in 2021, to be run in Adelaide, chosen by the Rose Society of SA. We have bushes of these still flowering away merrily in the nursery if you haven’t yet purchased one for this worthy cause. The blooms are stunning and huge and unfurl slowly to the most amazing rose in a long time.

One of my favourites for this year is Follow Your Dreams, a rich bright pink hybrid tea rose with masses of stunning flowers, and a good cut flower variety due to its long stems and fast repeat flowering , maybe an ideal Order for Mother’s Day, but get in quick as we are already loaded up with orders already. .

More of the information will be in next month’s In the Garden segment in Lifestyle1 as well as on our website www.limestonecoastroses.com.au We have been taking orders since November 1 last year, so some varieties are getting close to sold out, as we reach the cut off for orders and commence digging roses from the paddock in the next few weeks.

The Pot Shop part of the business has been busy receiving container loads of glazed, terracotta, sandstone and concrete pots over the past few months and we also need to clear some of those to make more room for more pots, trees and outdoor furniture.

A huge shipment arrived last week and we endeavour to have some massive terracotta pot that have become so unavailable in recent years, along with some huge one off ponds and massive succulent bowls up to one metre across.

Some of the terracotta which is all now pre-sealed, so it doesn’t dry out like the old terracotta, has been drastically reduced and with the strength of the Aussie dollar is now cheaper than buying plastic pots.

So, come in and browse through the extensive range and pick up a bargain.

Much of our giftware, wall art and fountains will also be on clearance, as well as birdhouses, dovecotes etc. as we make room in our new gift shop area, which is bursting at the seams, so an ideal time to pick up an early Mother’s Day bargain.

We are situated at 167, Bay Road (Riddoch Highway) 1.3 kms south of the Blue Lake roundabout, so we’ll look forward to seeing you then.

BEHIND SCENES T

he Riddoch and Main Corner Complex will welcome ACMI, the Australian Centre for Moving Image to Mount Gambier with world premiere exhibition Cleverman.

The exhibition celebrates the awardwinning ABC indigenous superhero television series of the same name.

Officially launching as part of the Mount Gambier Fringe Festival this

Friday at 6pm, the exhibition will be on display in Kings Floor from Sunday until Tuesday, May 5, and will include props, costumes and makeup from the

series, designs by Weta Workshop and artwork from the original comic book series.

“It is a visually stunning exhibition that will appeal to multiple generations, from sci-fi and comic lovers to historians and writers and general fans of television,” the Riddoch and Main Corner coordinator Talie Teakle said. “It is also a very digital exhibition with various forms of media being used, which is a strong direction we are keen to continue exploring with our exhibitions at the Riddoch.”

With predominantly Indigenous cast and senior crew, the series explores a number of Aboriginal origin stories in a modern context touching on themes of class, racism and power.

“Over the past decade ACMI has been curating and touring exhibitions across Australia that celebrate extraordinary Australian screen practice and

practitioners,” ACMI director and CEO Katrina Sedgwick OAM said.

Exploring First Nations storytelling, language and creativity in production design, costumes and props the exhibition invites audiences to

listen and immerse themselves in a contemporary expression of origin stories.

“We jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with series creator Ryan Griffen to create an exhibition that takes people behind-the-scenes to

generously donated.”

Tenison Woods College will use the coach to transport Poplars students to and from excursions and camps, as well as assisting with their Daily Living Skills Program. The program looks to develop life skills for the students.

This includes shopping, cooking and learning to wash and dry clothes.

“The Daily Living Skills Program is a big part of our curriculum and accounts for most of our out and about activities,” Mr Window said. “The coach will be used on a regular basis and will also allow students to take part in out of school activities such as gymnastics and 10-pin bowling, as well as weekly visits the Public Library.”

t is the fourth time Tenison Woods College has been the beneficiary of a Variety donation and the children’s charity has answered the school’s SOS again, providing its Poplars Inclusive Education Program with a new 22-seater bus.

The Sunshine Coach and keys were handed over earlier this month after their initial enquiry about funding was fast tracked.

Variety is a children’s charity providing much needed resources and support to families and children facing challenges through sickness, disadvantage or living with special needs. With a focus on providing services to allow children to get out and about in the community, the bus has been warmly welcomed by the College.

With one of the school’s current fleet showing too much wear and tear, lifestyle1.net | 26

the college enquired online about their options, with long time Mount Gambier based Variety supporter and representative Ian Weber visiting Tenison Woods College to see firsthand what was required.

“It wasn’t long after this initial enquiry that we received confirmation

by Variety grants chairman Bronte Ayres that we were successful in our application for a Sunshine Coach, and we were absolutely thrilled,” Poplars administrator Trudi Dempsey said.

Poplars co-manager Alex Window shared Mrs Dempsey’s gratitude for the long standing support of Variety.

“We are extremely appreciative of Variety and their contribution to our school and the students for the last 13 years,” Mr Window said. “They have definitely been very supportive for a long time and this is the fourth Sunshine Coach we have been

LOCAL SPORT Crauford earns AFL lifeline

Former local Henry Crauford has realised his AFL dream, earning a call up to the Essendon Football Club list just days out from the 2020 season opener.

Crauford, 22, joins the Bombers via the preseason supplemental selection period from SANFL club Norwood, where he has been playing his football since leaving the region and his successful career with Mt Burr..

The 204cm prospect won the SANFL reserves’ best and fairest award last year, averaging 16 disposals, five clearances and 27 hitouts on his way to winning a flag at that level.

Crauford originally pursued a career in the pool, competing in swimming at State and national levels before shifting his attention to football in 2016.

General manager of list and recruiting Adrian Dodoro said Crauford would add to the Bombers’ versatility.

“We are pleased to welcome Henry to the club through the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period,” Dodoro said.

“Henry is a great young man that will broaden our ruck depth and has the ability to play as a tall forward. He displays good athleticism and endurance for a man of his height.

“After careful consideration and monitoring several players over the past three months, we feel that Henry is the best fit for us and what we required for our team demographics.”

Crauford’s signature follows that of Tom Hird, who last week joined the club on a two-year contract as a non-registered athlete under the eligible Category B rookie rules.

Warriors Blue dominate the batting box It was an all Warriors affair in the semi final this weekend as both blue and white looked to make it to the grand final to take on the waiting demons. White won the toss and elected to field, and Blue got off to the perfect start with Leyna Bruggemann hitting safely to right field to score Nicole Vause.

Blue then held white scoreless in the first two innings, despite allowing two base runners in each, and so heading into the third held a slender 1-0 lead.

In the top of the third Blue speedster Emma MacDonald bunted herself on base and was pushed around by a safehit to Raquel Sneath and then an outfield fly ball to Angela Queale.

A safehit to right field to Simone MacDonald saw Sneath cross the plate also to take the score to three- nil.

White then came out and with a double to Polderman, and 4 singles in a row to Clare Chaplin, Taylor Wilsmore, Erin Chaplin and Emmerson Hann put three runs of their own on the board to tie up the game heading into the fourth.

It was the fourth innings where it all went bang for the bats of Blue, as 14 batters faced up and they piled on a massive nine runs, thanks to seven safehits, including a huge two RBI double to Simone MacDonald and a two RBI single to Sneath.

White rung the changes and showed they hadn’t given up with three runs of their own in the bottom of the innings, with Polderman recording her third hit and Imogen Walker immediately having an impact in the line up with a safe hit.

Walker took over on the mound for White and held Blue to a scoreless fifth, however Bruggemann for Blue returned the favour with a three up three down innings of her own.

In the sixth innings Blue again came out firing, with Bek White recording her second safe hit and Alison Schultz her first, and both were scored by an RBI single to right by league batting champion Nicole Vause.

With the score at 15-6 White needed three runs to avoid the game being called (seven run mercy rule) and came out with great intent,

when league best and fairest winner Polderman recorded a staggering fourth safe hit for the day, another double, and was scored by a Clare Chaplin single.

Taylor Wilsmore also scored off a fielders choice play and White had the bases loaded up but were unable to score the third run they needed, leaving Blue the victors over 6 entertaining innings, 15-8.

RESULTS Warriors Blue 15 (R Sneath, E MacDonald 3, L Bruggemann, S MacDonald, B White 2, A Schultz, A Queale, D Wombwell, N Vause) d Warriors White 8 (S Polderman 4, T Wilsmore 3, C Chaplin, I Walker 2, J Koop, E Hann, C Bignell, T Pearson, E Chaplin) Below (top row from left) - Sarah Polderman; Imogen Walker & Erin Chaplin Below (bottom row from left) - Daena Wombwell; Emma MacDonald & Bek White

LOCAL SPORT Central takes home Taylor Probert Shield in minor round finale

The annual Taylor Probert Shield was up for grabs in the final minor round game between Federal and Central. It turned out to be a pitchers game with the two best pitchers in the league, Alex Reppin (Federal) and Dylan Chuck (Central), going head to head.

It was a dual for the decade with both pitchers going hard at it, both picking up 10 strikeouts and giving up two base on ball each.

The difference between the two teams was that Central had more runners get on base and in the end something had to give.

The Demons were the ones who blinked first.

The only run scored for the game came in the top of the sixth when Central lead off batter Ethan Chuck’s hit to left field fell safely.

He advanced to second on Nathan Meinck’s hit to right field, went to third on a wild throw from the pitcher and eventually scored on a passed ball.

Basically both side went three up three down for the remainder of the game except Federal gave themselves a chance, two runners on with one out, but Dylan Chuck was up for the job striking out the next two batters.

BASEBALL FINALS MATCH REPORTS Division 2 1st Semi Final Central after being well down midway through their game against the more fancied Federal, fought their way back to keep their grand final dreams alive. Central tied the game up in the top of the sixth, kept the Demons scoreless and forced the game into extra inning after the time limit was reached. The Magpies scored two runs in the top of the seventh and again kept Federal scoreless to gain their berth in next weeks preliminary final. It was a game with some big hitting and a number of errors from both sides.

2nd Semi Final Millicent demolished Tigers in the second semi final to book their spot in the Grand Final in two weeks’ time. The game was hardly dominated by any particular player, number of hits or errors except on the scoreboard where Millicent had seventeen runs cross the plate to just four. A combination of hits, walks and the odd error coupled with some aggressive base running gave the Bandits a very decisive edge.

Division 3 1st Semi Final Central Magpies advanced to the preliminary final after they defeated Tigers eight runs to three on Friday night. Magpies sealed the win in the fifth and sixth inning when they scored six of their eight runs. Tigers unfortunately fielded a depleted line-up as two or three of their top players were unavailable. Their three runs came from four safehits whilst Central had seven hits for their eight runs. Central pitcher Scott Page racked up six strike outs.

2nd Semi Final After losing only one game over the season, Central hung on for a win to go straight to the grand final of Division 3. After scoring six runs in the first inning they failed to send another runner across the plate over the next four inning. Over the length of the game, Millicent slowly but surely pegged the margin back but in the end run out of time and were relegated to the preliminary final by a single run. The game was riddled with errors from both sides and maybe the game under lights took a toll as many players would not have played a night game. Steve Kuhl (Central) pitched seven strike outs

Central had three safehits, two base on ball, 10 Ks, left six runners on base and made one error.

Federal had one safehit, two base on ball, 10 Ks, left three runners on base and made three errors.

The Taylor Probert Shield has been now played for 20 years and Central hold the bragging rights with 10 wins to Federal, nine, and one drawn game.

Five runs in the top of the fifth set up an easy victory for South Indians against Tigers.

Travis Lockwood arrived at first base when his high flyball back to the pitcher dropped to the turf, Ben Nash hit safely to centrefield and Ryan Placucci’s two bagger batted in Lockwood.

Nash crossed on Damien O’Dine sacrifice fly to left field then Bruce Morale’s double to left field batted in Placucci.

Jesse Balshaw batted in Morale and the final run of the dig, Balshaw, was batted in by Hayden Battye’s single, also to left field.

Pitcher Placucci had the Tigers completely under control for those five inning and he was replaced on the mound by Alex Lewis who also shut them down for the next two inning.

Bruce Morale added one more run in the seventh, after hitting safely he was batted in by Dean Hamilton.

Hamilton replaced Lewis on the mound in the bottom of the eighth and continued the good defensive work for the Indians.

South added to their scoreline in the top of the eighth when O’Dine doubled and Morale was hit by a pitched ball.

O’Dine scored on Battye’s hit to a fielder’s choice and Morale crossed the plate on Lewis’ hit into left field.

Hayden Battye came on as a closing pitcher and did the job shutting down any Tigers late charge.

South had 15 safehits, one hit batter, eight RBI, one K2, left eight runners on base and made onew error.

Tigers had three safehits, one hit batter, three K’s, left three runners on base and made three errors.

Federal meet South Indians in this weekend’s preliminary final.

DIVISION ONE RESULTS South Indians 8 (Bruce Morale, Jesse Balshaw 3, Ryan Placucci, Alex Lewis, Ben Nash 2, Damien O’Dine, Dean Hamilton, Hayden Battye) d Tigers 0 (Jesse Foster, Brayden Morton, Tyrone May); Central 1 (Ethan Chuck, Dylan Chuck, Dylan Gull) d Federal 0 (Tom Rundle) Left - Dylan Chuck was on fire on the mound for Central in the annual Taylor Probert Shield clash at the weekend.

in the win while Millicent reliever Jack Hateley halted the scoring and pitched five strike outs.

Under 15 1st Semi Final Federal moved to next weekend’s preliminary final when they overcame an early lead by Central.

Central led early in the game but the Demons fought back to tie up the game in the bottom of the third at five apiece. The Magpies could not add more to their score but Federal rallied scoring three runs in the fourth to win in an entertaining match eight runs to five.

2nd Semi Final Top team South Indians played their way straight to the Grand Final when they defeated Millicent ten runs to five. Although Millicent received more walks, South hit the ball much cleaner rotating runners around the bases. Both teams used two pitchers to try to stem the number of walks and hits but it was the Indians who maintained the upper hand.

Under 13 Gold 1st Semi Final South Indians made their way into next Saturday’s preliminary when they easily accounted for Tigers. Outhitting the Tigers ten safe-hits to two rewarding them with a sixteen run to two win, South were well lead by pitcher Jett Lewis who picked up three of those safehits which included a home run. Unfortunately, Federal did not have the batting fire power to combat the Indians sustained offensive work.

2nd Semi Final Central managed to defeat sister team Central Magpies in the final inning of the semi final game to head into the Grand Final in two weeks time. Scores were tied at the end of the third inning and it looked like it was a game which could certainly go to extra inning to get a result. Central batting in the top of the fourth added three runs to the scoreboard and restricted the Magpies to just two in a fast finishing effort.

Demons and Warriors Blue will fight it out for the third consecutive year on the weekend and it should be a fascinating battle to watch.

In the qualifying final last fortnight Demons played absolutely superbly, led by a dominant and relentless pitching display by youngster Montanna Millard. She held the opposition to almost no hits, and when the hits came, her field, led by the experienced Cody Manning at short stop, did not blink, giving nothing away.

Their top order batting was also terrific, lead by lead off hitter Mackenzie Millard, RBI winner Cody Manning and Montanna Millard who all had multiple hits.

Warriors Blue have had the longer route to the final but ultimately it might be to their

benefit, as they have gotten their eye in and on Saturday amassed a whopping 15 safe hits which included one to every single player in their line up. Their ability to bat from one all the way through to nine may be one area where they have a slight edge over Demons. Hitting against Millard however will be a different proposition and her performance will be crucial to Demon’s chances.

For Blue, Leyna Bruggemann will look to use her pitching control and game smarts to quell the threat of the Demon’s top order.

The experience of players like Angela Queale and Nicole Vause will also be important for Warriors, and they will be keen to reverse the result of last year when Demons won by one run

in one of the most exciting grand finals in recent memory.

Simone MacDonald and Raquel Sneath had multiple hit games on the weekend and will hope to carry that in to the final.

For Demons, batting will be key, as they have already showed time and time again that with Manning, Millard, Belinda O’Dine and youngster Jorja Morale, their fielding is second to none.

Whether they can pick the gaps in the Warriors field will be key to this contest.

Either way it is sure to be an intense and entertaining tussle, with the team that limits their nerves and error count likely to come out on top.

This weekend’s action packed program at the Borderline Speedway is one of many major events to be cancelled in the Limestone Coast as part of the protocols that have been put in place to control the further spread of coronavirus.

The Glenburnie track was to host the South Australian Wingless Sprint Title and the Tyson Perez Memorial All Star Sprintcar event over two days of racing but , along with other tracks across Australia, the 2019/20 season could well be over. “There were quite a few meetings around Australia at the weekend but we could have seen the last of racing this season,� Borderline Speedway president Cary Jennings said. “We will continue to work with the powers that be and see where things sit for our last meeting of the season, the Easter Sprintcar Trail.�

It means the local driers that raced at other venues over the weekend could also have suited up for the final time.

If the season is done and dusted, Anthony Beare finished his season on a high, taking out the New South Wales Street Stock Title at Heartland Raceway in Moama.

It was a victory not without drama, with the Mount Gambier based, multi national champion, having to rely on the goodwill of Hamilton driver Donald Irving, who lent Beare his vehicle, so he could finish out the meeting, including the final heat, due it issues with his own car.

Beare started the A Main on the front of the grid and greeted the chequered flag first, adding more silverware to his overcrowded trophy cabinet.

Steve Gartner also competed in Moama, finishing an impressive fifth in the strong field.

The MJS Street Stock Series finished in Murray Bridge, also at the weekend, with Jayden Edwards and Hayden Jolley flying the flag for Mount Gambier.

Edwards ended up on the podium, in third, and Jolley had to settle for eighth.

There was also street stock racing in Warrnambool, with Mark Jennings(pictured) taking out that feature race.

It wasn’t just the street stocks in action, though, with Matt Michelson competing in a junior sedans event at Hamilton where he finished seventh.

In terms of still scheduled race meetings, as with all over public events, it is a case of watch this space so keep your eye on the major motor sport websites and facebook pages for updates.
