Once upon a time Program helps students set up their own personal library

It is a program originally created in 1993 and it is helping ensure kids across Mount Gambier are not only being exposed to the joy of reading but building up their own personal library.

Books In Homes teamed up with Melaleuca Park Primary School for the 2020 program in Mount Gambier with former Rotarian Julian Mattay funding the book handout, such is his passion for reading.

Students at the school have just received their second instalment of four books – three of them having been handpicked by the students themselves, who get to select from a wide range of brand new, recent releases, complete with a canvas book bag. The book handover happens three times a year, with students guaranteed three of their selections in each instalment.

Rescheduled seaside aviation event set to impress

Community fundraiser goes virtual

After originally being planned for April, the Robe Giant Fly In will take place on October 3 and it is set to be a spectacular day.

Featuring more than 40 vintage planes, an accompanying dinner, an antique car show and a few other elements, the Giant Fly In shapes as an event well worth your time for just a gold coin donation.

Robe Aviators Society member Jamie Aitken explained what you can expect from the day.

“We’ve got a fantastic line-up of aircraft from 75-year-old Tiger Moths to some of the latest and newest Cessnas and Pipers so we have got a terrific range of aircraft already there,” Aitken said.

“Because Robe is such a good destination when we’ve held our Fly In’s before, we have made sure that other clubs around the place will all come down and look after all of our visitors and we’ll make sure there’s a dinner in the evenings where they eat the best fish and seafood and enjoy the top hospitality of Robe.

“We set out wanting to do this a couple of months ago, but of course COVID bonked that on the head. So now it looks like everything is in good condition for the 3rd which is the Saturday and if we are blessed with a day that isn’t too windy, because wind is our enemy here, we are expecting up to 40 aircraft to fly in and we’ll have our own 12 on display.

“Lunch will be available at the airport with local fish and seafood and local wines and beers and that sort of stuff.

“In the evening at Drift restaurant we’ve taken that over and we’ll be having an art auction of aerial photographs followed by the Great Fly In Banquet where we’ll be serving a menu of local

delicacies and delights and the entertainment will be pilots invited to get up and tell stories of their funniest flying experiences.

“So the whole thing will be dedicated to the joys of flying and to add a bit of extra spice to the deal, we’re going to have an antique car club. They’re driving from Naracoorte and they’ll have a minimum of 14 cars, it could be 20, and they’ll also be on display as well.

“So we’ve got a lot on display for people to see at the airport. As far as COVID rules are concerned, we have five Marshalls who have

all done the tests to make sure social distancing is practicing as it is meant to be.”

Aitken said, weather permitting, that they’re expecting a few hundred people to show up.

“I would hope if we have a reasonable day that we could have 500 or 600,” he said.

“It’s just a gold coin donation that makes a contribution to our club and there’ll be great food and wine and coffee and beers – everything is on hand there and everyone will be most welcome and be able to see the aircraft up close.”

Audience members will have front row seats to see human compassion in action when three innovative projects pitch live to a virtual crowd who then have the opportunity to contribute to better outcomes for local people and community.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic physical distancing restrictions, United Way Glenelg will be hosting their annual live crowdfunding event virtually enabling people to tune into this “feel-good” initiative globally!

SharkPitch was first held in front of a live audience last year and was a hugely successful event raising over $40,000 to support Standing Tall, Portland Community MealShare and Glenelg Live4Life.

Mandy McErvale, from Rotary Club of Portland, and Harley Doedee, from Kyeema Support Services, will tell their story by providing a six-minute pitch, followed by a sixminute Q&A session to the virtual audience. MC for the evening Neil O’Donnell will engage with the audience to encourage them to “pledge”, or donate, to raise more than $8000 per organisation.

Once again AWA Alliance will join in to match audience funding.

United Way Glenelg executive officer Nicole Carr said she is excited the event can take place this year, albeit virtually, choosing to see it as an opportunity.

“Technology allows us to reach a broader audience,” Ms Carr said.

“So far, we have people registered from Heywood, Casterton, Ballarat, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.”

The main priority for United Way Glenelg was to find the right technology and come as close to replicating the spirit of a live event as possible.

“We kicked right into gear, once it was determined we couldn’t do the event face to face.,” she said.

“A lot of testing has been completed to get it right. On the night, feel free to grab a drink and get comfy in front of your computer or mobile device, as you prepare to hear from three passionate people.”

The virtual event will be held on Thursday, starting at 7pm. The event will be held on Crowdcast, connection details will be emailed to all registered guests on Wednesday, September 30.

Once upon a time Program helps students set up their own personal library

AVOIDING AFTERNOON SNACKS While there is nothing wrong with having a healthy afternoon snack, doing five minutes of exercise - a few lunges or a brisk walk around the block often curbs appetite and sets you up until dinner time.

BOOST YOUR DAILY WALK Getting out for a 30 minute walk is great for your health but if you really want to up the ante, add some pushups or squats at intervals or jog for a few minutes - extend yourself and add variety and your fitness should improve.

KICKSTARTING A LIBRARY AT HOME: Melaleuca Park Primary School students celebrate the recent book donation with Mount Gambier Library’s Kelly Lynch and Books in Homes program supporter Julian Mattay

THEY’RE ALL YOURS: Books In Homes benefactor Julian Mattay, who has funded the local Books in Homes program, happily hands over a backpack of books to a Melaleuca Park student.

It is a program originally created in 1993 and it is helping ensure kids across Mount Gambier are not only being exposed to the joy of

for the 2020 program in Mount Gambier with former Rotarian Julian Mattay funding the book handout, such is his passion for reading.

Students at the school have just received their second instalment of four books – three of them having been handpicked by the students themselves, who get to select from a wide range of brand new, recent releases, complete with a canvas book bag. The book handover happens three times a year, with students guaranteed three of their selections in each instalment.

In past years, Books in Homes in Mount Gambier had been supported by Rotary but when that was no longer possible, Julian was determined to maintain the lifeline between kids and books.

The Mount Gambier Library is also a program partner and was part of this month’s handover.

Books in Homes® was originally founded by New Zealand author

reading but building up their own personal library.

Books In Homes teamed up with Melaleuca Park Primary School

PROMOTING A PASSION FOR READING: Melaleuca Park Primary School Year 2 student Mia Barrett is all smiles after recieving her Books In Homes package.

Alan Duff, who wrote the widely acclaimed book Once Were Warriors (1990), which was later made into an award-winning film.

Alan was inspired to create the Program in 1993 after a visit to a New Zealand primary school where he discovered the majority of children came from bookless homes and showed little or no interest in reading. Alan saw this as having a major negative impact on their educational, social, personal and professional development later in life.

And it is safe to say Mount Gambier Library’s Kelly Lynch and Melaleuca Park Primary School staff could not agree more.

“There is no denying the positive impact this program has,” Melaleuca Park Primary School principal Lynette Corletto said.

“Some families end up with around 24 books from the program if they have a couple of kids go through the school.”

Hub questions answered Council meets face to face with concerned residents When you announce an $18.2million hike in a significant community project you expect backlash at worst and questions at best and Mount Gambier City Council spent last week meeting with concerned residents at designated Q & A sessions related to the cost of Mount Gambier’s Community and Recreation Hub. The announcement of the awarding of the construction contract at the end of last month and the revised project cost of $57.3million caused some unrest in the community so City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin OAM; City of Mount Gambier CEO Andrew Meddle and a selection of councillors fronted the Q & A sessions to provide the detail of the transformational project.

What was added (why the jump from $39.1million to $57.3million): Refurbishment of 50m outdoor pool Carpark and landscaping of former Olympic Park precinct Locality & COVID loading (cost increase based on being built in Mount Gambier and not a metropolitan centre, as well as the added risk profile of building under current COVID protocols) Design refinements to increase functionality, including sustainability considerations (eg. solar panels & NBA standard flooring on show courts) Where to now: • Newsletter publication distributed to all households in Mount Gambier • Preparation for site handover • Developing the operational model “We (council) are in discussions with three potential partners currently. We want to bring in expertise. We don’t have it in house, we haven’t run one of these facilities before. We can keep control around pricing and hours of opening and do that by working with an expert company in this field.” Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO) • Naming – shortlisting of suggested names and then put to a community vote

Q&A (What was said from the floor): Can we still attract major sporting competitions with multiple markings on the courts?

“The three harder wearing Rebound Ace Pro courts will have multiple markings. With regards to the three show courts, we have spoken with the Pioneers and Netball SA and they are both happy for two sets of marking but no more than two.” Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO) There will also be spare timber flooring to use on the Rebound Ace courts and there are other line marking solutions and the cost is minimal.

Is the timber being sourced locally?

“Nowhere in Australia makes the beams (because of their size, 50m) so they will be imported from Germany. All the other timber will be local.”

Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO) Does council still have a mandate given the community vote was based on the $39.1million price tag?

“Council had a decision about investing money up front or later in the project. Council is elected

TUESDAY NIGHTS 2 FOR 1

SCHNITZELS

to manage the funds it receives in a way it sees fit. Council has taken the view very clearly the investment up front reduces operating costs of facility.”

Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO) One example of this is opting to install 600kW solar panels will save $400,000 a year.

“It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for State and Federal Government funding and you will never get that again. Council’s asset profile at completion of this will equate to $350million with 10percent of that value taken up with a loan. Most people would love that with their own home loan.

Council knows it can afford it. They have done all the due diligence around this.”

Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO) Should council have done more homework so the initial figures presented to the community were more realistic?

“Council was almost blackmailed to get a project up and running in a ridiculously short amount of time (to access the government funding). There was six weeks to build a business case. This was not

a normal project. If the council had the luxury of time it might have been different but they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.”

Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO) To put the timeframe in context, the ARC (Campbelltown – Adelaide) had five years before it reached intermediate design stage.

“I was involved in the decision making, including visiting five

different sites to look at what they had done…it was in February 2018 that we had the opportunity of funding…we had six weeks and the paperwork was the size of a lever arch file. The timeframe was not of our choosing or making. For 30 years people had been saying they wanted an indoor pool. Just a pool would not have been sustainable so it needed to have the dry sports and community spaces. It was very much an intermediate design – it hadn’t gone into detail as there was no time to consider solar power and all those other elements, we had to go ahead to secure the funding.

Would you really turn down $25million – that would be totally unprecedented? Council weighed up the costs and benefits not only of doing it but of not doing it. Our job is to make decisions in the best interest of our community and to have a vision for the community.

This is not something for now, it’s for the next 50 years. I understand people are a bit shocked because of the price we’ve had to undertake but we can go through and explain all of those decisions.”

Cr Sonya Mezinec Why was there no public meeting called instead of the Q & A sessions run by council?

“We decided on a series of small meetings where people could ask questions. Public meetings don’t work. They turn into more of a brawl than a conversation and only a handful of people get to speak.”

FROM OPP. PAGE How can we have confidence in council that this project will not continue to blow out in cost?

“There are independent project managers and site supervisors, independent cost managers.

A lot of bills were paid up front, budgeted up front. This project is very good value for money and actually under the figure council mandated.”

Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO) Where do things sit with operating the facility going forward?

“We have received some advice up front and now we have to

make a decision between three operators and we hope to make that decision by Christmas.

That gives them a year to start marketing the project and get the brand out there for operationalisation. There was originally a figure of $2.2million a year as the cost of running the centre but the potential partners are saying it should break even.”

Andrew Meddle (City of Mount Gambier CEO)

SHOW OF SUPPORT

Prior to the building of the new facility, the pool was costing council $400,000 a year.

Libby Furner

“I think this is a positive step forward for Mount Gambier. We refer to the fact we are often forgotten and so we need to promote ourselves and having this facility in the centre of town can only be a plus. If we can show we have these type of facilities we can attract events and people here and the whole region will start to bloom. We have just updated the airport. We have got to be positive. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We say this town needs to be seen and heard of more and maybe this facility will help do that as well as providing something for our own community.”

THE FINAL WORD

“This council is on notice if this thing blows out. I don’t want my children to pay the debt back.”

Concerned Resident

A new name but it’s business as usual

“There’s a lot of support out there and me, personally, have received a lot of support from elder statesmen in our city and I value their opinion and am gratified and buoyed by their support. It will build confidence in our economy and attract further investment. It is vital for the growth of Mount Gambier.”

City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin OAM “Council is elected to make difficult decisions, bold decisions for the future of the community.”

It’s all yours Indigenious leaders hand hub site over to contractors

When you have already built up more than 130 years of history as a respected business, there’s no real need for a rebrand but Viridian Mount Gambier is set to be renamed Vivid Glass Windows & Doors.

The great news for generations of clients is absolutely nothing else will change. The painting and house decorating business that was started by two ambitious hard working men, born on opposite sides of the world, was built on quality workmanship and unrivalled customer service and that has, and will, remained unchanged.

What you will continue to see is: - The same trusted products - The same reliable friendly service - The same level of knowledge & experience - New branding promoting a vibrant, evolving business

As of this week. Mount Gambier’s Olympic Park precinct is in the hands of project contractors BADGE Constructions, with representatives of the traditional landowners, the Boandik people, front and centre of the handover with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony at the site last week.

The Welcome to Country was led

by Aunty Penny Bonney and Uncle Mikey Hartman (pictured above left) and the Smoking Ceremony, to acknowledge the coming together of culture and people to promote the protection and wellbeing of all in its development, was performed by Uncle Doug Nicholls (pictured above right & inset).

City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin OAM was also part of the official site handover.

“Today is an exciting day for the City of Mount Gambier,” Mayor Martin said. “Work will soon begin on the largest infrastructure project the City of Mount Gambier has ever undertaken. The community and recreation hub is a transformational project for our city. It’ a year round, multipurpose facility for people of all ages and all abilities. The facility will increase the city’s ability to host State and national sporting

competitions, conferences, events and performances. It will bring significant social and economic benefits to Mount Gambier for decades to come.”

Project architects DesignInc were also represented at the handover with senior associate Ben Luppino excited for work on their concept to get underway.

“It has grown from an idea into a gathering place for the community, a place that will be sustainable,” he said. “ The centrepiece of the handover, though, was the Smoking Ceremony, as Uncle Doug Nicholls walked the council representatives and other project stakeholders through the traditional rituals step by step – the talking (planning the project); hunter gatherer (building of the project) and the song and dance (celebration of its completion).

“We don’t do the song and dance until we get it right,” Uncle Doug said. “We are one mob and when we become one mob, anything can happen. The community of Mount Gambier wants this and needs this.”

BADGE Constructions officially took over the site on September 28. The contract guarantees 40 percent of the project will engage local tradies and suppliers, with

some of the elements having to be undertaken by specialists not accessible in Mount Gambier.

BADGE Constructions are a national award winning builder that are no strangers to Mount Gambier having been responsible for the UniSA, Resthaven and Mount Gambier Prison projects.

The project has secured an unprecedented level of financial support with the Federal Government chipping in $15million and the South Australian Government handing over $10million. The District Council of Grant has also injected $350,000, with the City of Mount Gambier funding the $31.95million remaining.

When a picture paints a thousand words Illustrating children’s books and designing toys – talk about a resume to impress the kids – and it belongs to Vaughan Duck.

Vaughan moved to Mount Gambier in January this year when his wife was transferred in her role with the Salvation Army but when it comes to illustrating, there is no tyranny of distance and Vaughan’s second official illustration project is set to be launched on October 1.

In a twist of fate, the project – illustrating the children’s picture book Big Beach BBQ, written by Carly Taylor – could not have come at a better time. When we went into a form of COVID lockdown in March, Vaughan was as busy as ever, bringing Carly’s words to life.

His illustrating career dates back three decades and his first ever children’s book was a university project.

“…but I do believe what you do as a creative person draws on all the influences you have had over the years…”

“The lecturer set us a task to illustrate a book and I chose the CJ Dennis story The Ant Explorer,” Vaughan said. “It actually got picked up by a publisher and I guess for me that’s when it all began.”

Vaughan completed a Visual Communication degree at RMIT in Melbourne and it was definitely in the specialist class focussing on illustration where Vaughan felt most at ease.

“It was a course designed to churn out art directors for advertising but that was never what I wanted to do,” Vaughan said. “The illustration subject just fit.”

While no one in Vaughan’s family had a career in the creative industries, his mother loved to paint and his dad certainly had a creative bent and his memories of drawing date back to his early years.

Those years were spent mimicking. “I was always copying cartoons and stuff – I loved it,” Vaughan said, with Charlie Brown and Snoopy heading the list.

Vaughan’s love of drawing only intensified in high school as he continued replicating the work of others but progressing to more difficult illustrations as he looked to expand his skill set.

“I was always looking at a drawing and trying to work out

how to do it myself and the way you need to do it,” Vaughan said.

“I have obviously moved on to doing a lot of original work but I do believe what you do as a creative person draws on all the influences you have had over the years. Yes, you’re original but it is on the back of other people’s work.”

While Big Beach BBQ is officially his second children’s book, Vaughan spent 20 years illustrating educational material, including maths text books, science text books and readers.

In his own words, as his kids got older it was time to get a real job, which, somewhat ironically, is where the toy designing phase of Vaughan’s life kicked in.

“…I guess in some way or another I have always had work that focuses on kids and education…”

He worked part time for Moose Toys, coming up with characters for designers to then engineer into toys. He also had a job with Décor, creating designs for children’s lunchboxes and drink bottles, and he worked with the popular container company for a decade.

That role saw him travelling regularly between Australia and China but what it did establish was a strong patter of always working in a creative field with a focus on

creating for children.

“I guess in some way or another I have always had work that focuses on kids and education,” Vaughan said. “That was always been my passion and it was never about advertising or trying to get someone to buy something, It was about designing something fun for kids.”

It was Vaughan’s wife’s transfer to Castlemaine that saw him leave that role and for the first time in many years, concentrating on his first love – illustrating.

“I had to start working from scratch really to get my name back out there,” Vaughan said. “I had to make connections again and one of those connections from Larrikin House and that is how this second book opportunity came.

They liked my folio and wanted to do something with me.”

When it comes to publishing houses and bringing authors and illustrators together, it is basically a match making service. Larrikin House is a new kid on the block, having only been around for just over a year, but it has already been a good fit for Vaughan and he loved his inaugural project, even sneaking in a veiled Mount Gambier reference in the Big Beach BBQ. “You actually don’t meet the author or really work with them at all and in the end, with this book, there were only a couple of minor changes before it went to print,”

Vaughan said. “Basically I was given the manuscript ad then it’s up to me to interpret it. The publisher basically acts as a go between.”

Part of what attracted Vaughan to Larrikin House and its projects was their focus on making children’s books fun.

“I love that they just want to

make fun stories,” Vaughan said.

“So many children’s books now are all about tackling issues and I know the books I remember from my childhood were the fun ones, like Dr Suess. Books you want to read over and over again encourage kids to read and that’s so important.”

Vaughan is already set to

It’s child’s play Port MacDonnell’s Waterfront Project moves ahead with stunning play space

SEALING THE DEAL: District Council of Grant Mayor Richard Sage; District Council of Grant CEO Darryl Whicker and Gambier earth Movers engineering manager Adam Maywald working through the details of the Waterfront Stage 2 project at Port MacDonnell.

work on another Larrikin House project and, in the interim, has collaborated of a couple of independent projects, one with a Scottish author and another author who is self publishing.

Social media was the outlet that hooked Vaughan up with these two budding authors.

“It is just how it works,” Vaughan said. “People basically post when they have a story and see if anyone is interested is illustrating it.”

“Books you want to read over and over again encourage kids to read and that’s so important…”

The Scottish project was right in Vaughan’s wheelhouse. “It was right in the middle of COVID and she wanted to put really simple children’s readers online for children to read for free,” he said. “She had written 10-12 stories and put them out for illustrators to choose the one they wanted and for me it was a fun project and I really liked the story I chose. And, of course, it continues to build your folio, which is always a good thing and I love tracking a narrative.”

The second project that is set to be self published, is actually by an established player in the industry, but they know this children’s story is not necessarily strong enough

for commercial release but it has been such a popular story on her school visits that she just wanted to get it out there.

Georgie Donaghey is that author and the Tortoise’s Home is set for release at the end of this year, while the Scottish tale is by Suzanne Enoch and is called Splish Splosh.

And while he might be creative, Vaughan is also very disciplined and he treats his illustration jobs like a 9-5 job. “To be creative you still have to be disciplined,” Vaughan said. “I do my best work in the morning.”

Vaughan also has a very handy bunch of critics – his three grandchildren are just the right age for the books he has recently worked on.

Vaughan’s profile will not only be increased by the release of Big Beach BBQ on October 1 but also the Children’s Book Council of Australia South Australian branch’s November 13 launch featuring around 13 authors and illustrators at an Adelaide event.

The District Council of Grant is pleased to announce the appointment of Gambier Earth Movers as the head contractor for the Waterfront Stage 2 project at Port MacDonnell.

Part of an overall staged development along the foreshore at Port MacDonnell, this $865,000 project will deliver a new playspace with hero pieces such as a giant boat and six metre tower with a slide and climbing wall, natural water play, an in-ground trampoline, as well as swings and other play elements.

A hybrid approach between nature and adventure play is the design principle the team at Oxigen have used to inspire the development; a result of community consultation and an extensive STEM based approach with Allendale East Area School students and Council.

Principal Kylie Smith said the students and staff at Allendale East Area School are thrilled to hear the news.

“Students are often consulted with by government agencies which is super exciting, however sometimes they can find the wait time slightly frustrating,” Ms Smith said.

“The developments that have occurred over the past three years have been extraordinary and the District Council of Grant should feel extremely proud of their achievements.

“The students that participated in the consultation look forward to seeing their planning, organising and recommendations coming to fruition and what better education could young people participate in or want!

“It has been a real life situation where young people have been the drivers for change, improvement and family engagement.

“On behalf of the Allendale East Area School we commend the work that staff and students

have done collaboratively to achieve such great learning and community outcomes. We also look forward to spending many hours making positive memories in a truly special space.”

The contract with Gambier Earth Movers was readily agreed to by Council due the knowledge and experience gained from Stage 1 as well as the use of local contractors and the level of workmanship previously demonstrated.

The contract also includes an update to the Standish Street intersection and a new shelter and picnic seating on Sea Parade.

Mayor Richard Sage said Stage 2 would build on Stage 1 and be an asset for the community and the tourism industry for many years to come.

“Council will be pleased to see the Waterfront Stage 2 come to life over the next six months, a result of many years of hard work dating back to the Port MacDonnell Masterplan adopted in 2014,” Mayor Sage said.

“With the new pump track in and ready to go for the October school holidays along with the Boandik references starting to emerge, we can really start to see how a strong and collaborative approach between Council and Community has made this place special and the project take shape.”

Engineering Manager at Gambier Earth Movers Adam Maywald said that the project is a welcomed boost.

“During these uncertain times of COVID-19 the Waterfront Stage 2 will form a significant part of our works programme going forward for the latter part of this year,” Mr Maywald said.

“A significant portion of our employees, all who live locally, had the opportunity to assist with the Stage 1 works, building a personal connection with the

project goals, feeling like they were contributing to something that would be admired by the public for many years to come, and they are relishing the opportunity to do the same with Stage 2.

“We thank the District Council of Grant for again keeping their investment local, and look forward to continuing to contribute to this landmark community project for the Limestone Coast region”.

The Waterfront Stage 2 had a forecasted 2019-2020 budget of $705,000, co-funded by Council and the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.

Mayor Sage explained that community consultation in late 2019 highlighted a need for more seating and shelters along the foreshore, so Council decided to expand the scope of the project to include a new shelter and seating on Sea Parade.

Furthermore, to ensure the playground is delivered to a high quality standard that the community expect, additional resources to the value of $160,000 from Council’s Open Space Contribution fund have been allocated to this project taking the project budget to $865,000.

For further information about Councils Open Space Contributions Fund or the budget process for this project, people are encouraged to contact Council or find out more at YourSayDCG. The current playground on the foreshore will remain in place until after Christmas with works on this area and Standish Street starting late January and to be complete by end of March.

This will still give the community and visitors a playground to use over the summer months.

Lending a helping hand Community groups chip in for local students Melaleuca Park Primary School has formed strong partnerships with the Regional Foodbank and Spare Ya Change 4 Kids and another local charity has stepped in to lend a helping hand.

Not for the first time, Four Reasons Why, has worked with Melaleuca Park to provide assistance for its students. Four Reasons Why and the school have previously worked together as part of the Winter Wear campaign and a Christmas Appeal and last week, more recently, the Mount Gambier charity has stepped up on two fronts.

It has donated a freezer to the school to help store the meals provided by Spare Ya Change 4 Kids, as well as produce donated from Regional Foodbank, and it also got involved in an eye testing program that will see it help fund glasses for three students.

Four Reasons Why founder Trudi Shelton contacted the school to offer up some of the charity’s hard earned fundraising pool and principal Lynette Corletto had a wishlist handy. “The freezer is just fantastic so we can better store the fresh items we receive from regional Foodbank, like loaves of bread, as well as the meals from Spare Ya Change 4 Kids,” she said.

“We are so lucky to have so many

community groups and businesses that want to help in Mount Gambier.”

Specsavers Mount Gambier is one of those businesses, working with Melaleuca Park Primary School to provide eye tests for 10 students and then supplying three pairs of discounted glasses for the students who need that extra help with their eyesight.

And it is those glasses that saw Four Reasons Why step up again to finance the purchase.

You only have to speak to Year 7 student Brody, one of the three recipients, to know how important these glasses will be.

Brody admits it was early in the eye test he knew he would probably need glasses.

“I was able to read the letters on the top row of the chart but the middle line and bottom line were hard, all I could see was little dots and lines” Brody said. “When she gave me the lenses to use, it was so much easier.”

Anecdotally Brody’s eyesight has been deteriorating for a couple of years and had started to become problematic this year. “It is probably the first time I have sat at the back of the classroom and I have to ask my friends to read the board for me and tell me what to write down,” Brody said. “One day,

the SSO gave me her glasses and I couldn’t believe the difference it made.” And that difference will now be permanent, with his own pair of glasses moving forward to ensure he can read everything.

WORKING TOGETHER: (Above) - Year 7 student Brody taking advantage of his newly acquired glasses, courtesy of Specsavers Mount Gambier and Four Reasons Why and (above right) Four Reasons Why founder Trudi Shelton (left) with Melaleuca Park Primary School principal Lynette Corletto checking out the newly delivered school freezer

Busy times at Foodbank Ready & willing to help those in need Mount Gambier’s Regional Foodbank has been especially busy in 2020, with COVID-19 leaving more locals in need of assistance.

Foodbank provides meals to vulnerable Australians, working directly with famers, growers and manufacturers to do so, but also relying on generous donations from the public.

Branch manager Lynne Neshoda said the organisation was handling the increased load, but was expecting a further uptick as the government’s JobKeeper program is scaled back.

“This year has been very busy, obviously with bushfires earlier in the year and then COVID hitting in March, so we haven’t really stopped since Christmas,” Lynne said. “It’s been very full on and we’re expecting (greater demand) with the reduction of the coronavirus supplements at the end of September, we’re sort of preparing as best we can. We’re expecting a bigger influx for food relief once the payments are cut.

“We’ve been putting things out a bit differently (because of COVID-19), so we started up

Sustainability made easy Have you heard about the REDcycle Program? The REDcycle Program is a great way to keep plastic bags and

home delivery in South Australia to combat people that were first isolated at home and couldn’t get to our food hub or to an agency charity to get food.

“We’re expecting (a greater influx) in December when JobKeeper ends. We’re thinking that a lot of people have just got by, I’m sure there’s going to be a lot more knocking on our door.”

Lynne explained what those in the community can do to help the Foodbank prepare for this increased demand.

“We have a couple of purple bins in both our Woolworths stores in Mount Gambier. One at Commercial Street and one at Market Place. We also have a bin at Naracoorte in the Naracoorte Hospital,” she said.

“They can donate food here at Foodbank any time. Food donations go out as fast as they come in basically.

“If anyone wants to donate, they can donate pantry items to those places.

“Even in Adelaide, I can source a lot of food from them, but a lot of their mixed groceries and staples and that, they’re not

getting as much because we’re not doing the events that we were doing.

“We always did food drives and a lot of the events aren’t going ahead because the landscape has changed. So any donations are greatly accepted.”

Lynne recommends that those in need of assistance give Foodbank a call as soon.

“The main thing is people can ring Foodbank if they need help.

People can come to our food hub where they shop themselves and that’s through a referral process,” she said.

“So they need a referral from an agency to do that which is like your Salvation Army, Lifeline and a lot of those agencies.

“If they need help with food, please ring Foodbank and we can direct you where to go to get that referral to come and access food.

“Don’t think that you haven’t got help out there because you have and we’re happy to help and that’s what we’re here for.”

Foodbank has provided over 380,000 meals in the past 12 months and works with 130 charity and community groups in the area.

Sparkling career Former Millicent netballer shows regional athletes there is a way to the top After an incredible career spanning 17 seasons, champion netballer Nat Medhurst announced her retirement a few weeks ago.

First representing Australia in 2007, she donned the dress of the Diamonds 86 times, winning three Netball World Cup gold medals and holding Commonwealth Games gold and silver.

Medhurst finished her career as one of the most decorated netballers in Australian history, but started it as a young girl right here in the Limestone Coast.

At the age of three, her family moved to the township of Millicent, where her parents ran the Somerset Hotel.

Medhurst worked hard for her success, paving the way for those growing up in regional towns to make it to the top of the netball scene.

Sue Gaudion, who coached the star netballer late in her career,

believes Medhurst is someone who never forgot her regional roots.

“You can’t be what you can’t see and Nat and all athletes that find their journey from a regional area into the big time and are successful speaks volumes,” Gaudion said.

“What has been really interesting through Nat’s career is she never forgot where she came from and you will often hear her when she is speaking to the media or talking to young athletes, she always talks about being a country kid and the ability to play a lot of sports and not really wanting to play netball, but it kind of chose her.

“The second it did, she had to make sacrifices if she wanted to go any further and whilst that was tough, the rewards at the back end were just way better.

“She’s always acknowledging that journey and I think that’s something that is really important

Ben Gower CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

that regional kids hear that from a player that has come from country areas doesn’t forget that and I think Nat has done a really good job of remembering her roots.”

Gaudion, now a lead commentator for Channel Nine’s Super Netball coverage, said Medhurst strong family support helped her find her way from Millicent to the top of the nation’s netball team.

“She grew up in a pub (in Millicent) and that was her family life and her parents were very heavily engaged in running that as a business and her and her brother were sporting mad,” Gaudion said.

“I think her relationship with her brother has been pretty extraordinary.

“He’s been a pretty significant sounding board the whole way through her netball journey and it’s this great link and beautiful story where she can look back and know that growing up alongside her family in that country lifestyle and being the family that owns the pub and the links to the community and to have that connection with her brother the whole way.

“Even in her retirement speech she reflected immediately to her family and in particular to her brother.

“The one thing I always see is that it’s not always that you can’t succeed without family support, but when it is that little bit harder at times because you’re a country

kid and to be successful once you get to a certain level you’ve got to move, it really does help that you’ve got a great family network to support you and I think Nat is very grateful in having that along her journey.”

Gaudion believes Medhurst dominated at the elite level for such a long time because of her competitiveness and drive to improve.

“Nat was able to reinvent herself and I don’t think you can stay in the game and give yourself longevity if that’s something you’re not prepared to do,” the former West Coast Fever coach said.

“Some players finish their careers early because they can’t find a way to do to find a new level to go to in the game.

“From the second I knew Nat she just was a major competitor. Like, you talk about white-line fever, her name is in the dictionary for it.

“If she was to be beaten on a court, she’s the kind of person who thought ‘how can I get better and I’m not going to get beaten again’ and I think when you’ve got an athlete with that sort of attitude, you know that they’re going to be in the game for a long period of time.”

Medhurst bows out eighth all-time for games played representing Australia among the likes of Liz Ellis, Nat von Bertouch, Sharelle McMahon and Caitlin Bassett.

THE MEDHURST FILES

A three time world champion and Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Natalie Medhurst has tasted more success than most on a netball court. She debuted as a 20 year old for the Adelaide Thunderbirds in 2004 and just three years later was debuting for her country against Jamaica. It was in the World Championship final that year that Medhurst showed the kind of class and composure that was the centrepiece of her stunning career, entering the clash in the final quarter and netting all her attempts as Australia claimed a 42-38 victory over New Zealand. 2011 was another huge year for Medhurst - a second world title, a championship win with the Queensland Firebiards and she was adjudged the competition’s Most Valuable Player. Having played for the Thunderbirds, Firebirds, West Coast Fever and most recently Collingwood, where her mentoring of young goalers has been invaluable, Medhurst finished her international career earning 86 caps in the 10 years she represented her country. Motherhood is her next challenge, raising son Edison, as she also forges a career in sports administration and the media.

Support on offer for tourism & hospitality sector

Join the national program to promote sustainability Naracoorte Lucindale Council households, schools, community groups and local businesses are set to join more than 400,000 people across the country on November 21 and 22 as part of the 10th annual Garage Sale Trail, which will also be taking place online for the first time ever.

A multi-award-winning community and sustainability event, Garage Sale Trail is part of Naracoorte Lucindale Council’s commitment to reducing landfill and supporting residents to reuse and reduce waste at home.

The program is powered by more than 115 councils across Australia, dedicated to helping their communities on the road to economic recovery by making and saving money through the sale of secondhand goods.

And for the first time ever, sellers can also set up virtual garage sales as an alternative to garage sales in local neighbourhoods.

Naracoorte Lucindale Mayor Erika Vickery OAM said the Garage Sale Trail was a great opportunity for people to connect with their community, have lots of fun and make some extra money at a time where many people need it most.

“We are thrilled to be involved with the initiative and encourage everyone in the community to register – with many of us still at home this is an excellent opportunity to declutter and rehome those things we don’t

need anymore,Mayor Vickery said.

Event organisers project that more than two million items will be listed for sale and diverted from landfill across more than 16,000 garage sale events held over the Garage Sale Trail weekend both in person and online – a great result for the planet, seller’s pockets and bargain seekers all over the country.

Garage Sale Trail Co-Founder Andrew Valder said despite their focus rightly being shifted towards the pandemic, the issue of waste hasn’t gone away.

“In fact, COVID-19 has clearly demonstrated our impact on the planet as well as proven that with a little teamwork, we can achieve great things,” he said. “Garage Sale Trail is an awesome way to make some extra cash in these trying times. My hot tip is to come

up with a really fun name or theme for your sale – the sellers that go to town with marketing are the ones that really bring home the bacon.”

For the first time ever, Australians can participate in Garage Sale Trail online as well as face-to-face.

This online element will not only work to keep people safe during the pandemic but also assist sellers in finding the perfect match for their pre-loved items – no matter their location.

For those hosting or shopping at physical sales, Garage Sale Trail will provide guidelines to ensure COVID-19 restrictions and safety precautions are in place. You’ll also receive tips and tricks, as well as marketing material to help achieve the best result from your sale. To host a sale or shop the Trail you can register for free at garagesaletrail.com.au.

As part of its ongoing Care Packages, the District Council of Grant is supporting tourism and hospitality businesses to recover from the effects of COVID-19 by implementing a new grant funding opportunity.

This year has had a drastic impact on tourism and hospitality businesses with many operators were forced to close or radically change the way they operated.

Many businesses were decimated by COVID-19 through what would usually be busy tourisms seasons such as Easter and school holidays.

With easing of restrictions, operations are gradually returning back to a new normal, however the sector still has a number of issues to overcome before it can rebound from the effects of COVID-19.

In response to this the District Council of Grant has established a Tourism and Hospitality Small Business Grant to support businesses in the district to adapt,

recover and innovate.

Eligible businesses can apply for a grant of up to $5000 which will be awarded on a ‘dollar for dollar’ basis with the grant funding up to 50% of the project costs.

The purpose of the grant is to enhance the customer experience and provide opportunities and assistance for business development in the industry.

The funding may be used for things such as purchasing new equipment, minor capital improvements, training and skills development, developing new experiences, marketing etc.

Applications opened Monday and close October 30.

For further information please visit https://yoursaydcg.com.au/ where you can access the full terms and conditions via the guidelines document and application form.

Alternatively these are available from council’s Mount Gambier office or the Port MacDonnell Community Complex.

Water skiing has been a big part of Andrew Donehue’s life since a young age.

It also runs deep in the Donehue family. It started with Les and Margaret Donehue, who shared their love of the sport with their six children, including Andrew, and now there are 16 ski crazy grandchildren as well.

“I started water skiing when I was five. Then I started ski racing when I was 11. I’ve been ski racing ever since basically,” Donehue said.

“We started it (water skiing) as a family and started racing as a family.

“I got started getting taken away with another couple of racing enthusiasts and that was in junior boys then, and basically travelled ever since then.”

Donehue turned to driving boats after being involved in a serious water-skiing accident at the age of 21, suffering shocking injuries to his lower and upper body.

“I raced competitively for quite a number of years and then I had an accident when I was 21 so I took up driving after that when I came back to the sport,” he said.

“And I’ve been drive racing competitively ever since then.

“I got impacted by a boat when I was 21. Broke both legs, ribs, shoulder, collarbone and ended up off work for three years.

“So then when I recovered, I only went back to social skiing and that sort of stuff.”

Donehue also has a long history as a scrutineer that has landed him multiple jobs worldwide.

“I’m the Australian Chief Technical Scrutineer and at the moment I’m the head of the World Scrutineering and on the World Racing Council,” he said.

“In 2011 I got asked to be the Chief Scrutineer at the World Titles in Brisbane in Australia. I was the Australian Scrutineer at the time, then I was asked after that to go to Spain to do the same job, which I did.

“Then I got invited to go on the World Racing Council in 2013 then I was the Chief Scrutineer in New Zealand in 2017 then I went to America to Scrutineer in 2019 and I was Chief Scrutineer in France.

“It’s been awesome, big job but it’s been pretty good.”

Andrew’s caravan and pool business - Donehue’s Leisure – has gone from strength to strength since the family moved to Mount Gambier from Hamilton.

“It started originally from Hamilton then I moved over in 1994 when they had the recession in Hamilton,” Donehue said.

“We started over there and opened up and bought out Linmara Pools and Spas and then we decided to bring caravans over here as a family business.

“We were in Commercial Street, so we were there for 12 months then we moved out to Penola Road and we basically grew from there.

“We were there for 17 years then we moved out to where we are now.”

Of course, being part of an industry so closely linked with the

tourism and recreation industry has not been easy in COVID hit 2020.

“It did at first yes, it did knock us around quite hard,” Donehue added. “It was a complete shut

down at the time, so there was nobody coming in and out. But now it’s been very busy. The workshop has been busy, and the shop sales has been busy.”

LIFE ON THE WATER: Water skiing runs in the Donehue family and it has been a huge part of Andrew’s life and there have been a raft of accolades and honours along with way.

Darryl Whicker Chief Executive Officer

Year 5 and 6 students at Allendale East Area School got an insight into federal politics and the role of Federal Parliament courtesy of a visit from Member for Barker Tony Pasin.

The local MP ran through his role as an elected member and tried to walk the students through procedures including passing legislation through some role play activities. The students each took on a role as a Member of Parliament to debate a Bill in the

House of Representatives and argued their case for or against banning homework. The group of around 20 students were divided into government, opposition and cross bench members to debate the Bill before a vote was held to determine the passage of the legislation.

“I was deeply impressed by the enthusiasm the students from Allandale East Area School showed for the democratic process,” said Mr Pasin. “It’s fantastic that

these students are studying civics and citizenship. These students will determine the future of this Nation and as such I think it’s really important that they understand their civic duty. As the only nation in the world with compulsory voting it’s vital that we educate young Australians about the parliamentary process. Strength in democracy comes with the community being informed and interested in how and why our laws are made.”

Back by popular demand Skate Park clinics & competition return to region The Millicent Skate Park Clinics & Competition are back and will take place on October 9 and 10 at Millicent Skate Park.

Free learn to skate clinics for all abilities and ages will take place on Friday before the competition itself, run by YMCA Action Sports and the Wattle Range Council, gets underway on Saturday.

Skateboards are provided but competitors are advised to bring their own helmets. Skateboarding clinics run in hourly blocks from 11.30am to 3.30pm.

Fifty to sixty particpants usually enter the competition that crosses skate, scooter and/or BMX events across different age categories.

Around 400-500 spectators have attended competitions in previous years.

YMCA Action Sports Director, Alice Hogan said the event has put Millicent on the map with people coming from far and wide to take part. Hogan has encouraged parents to bring their kids down to

get involved in the family event that continues to grow year on year.

“It’s really been able to bring people together around the fun and common use of the skate park,” Hogan said. “So it works to bring people together and the different disciplines at the skate park together and engage them in an activity where there’s occasionally a bit of tension between different disciplines.

“It’s had that ongoing affect throughout the community, they really get behind it and people do come from far and wide either from the Surf Coast in Victoria and from Adelaide to the event.

“So it’s really highlighted Millicent as a destination as well and it’s a really fun event all round for the whole family.”

Hogan said the event had helped bring the local community together. “It’s been a huge success,” she said. “When we started running it a few years ago

we weren’t entirely sure, but it’s just taken off so well. We’re very, very excited to be coming back and running it again.”

Brand’s best in Let’s celebrate cabernet Coonawarra set to celebrate its most famous drop Coonawarra Virtual judging sees top wines honoured for annual awards

The 2018 Brand’s Laira 1968 Vines Cabernet Sauvignon, produced by Brand’s Laira Coonawarra, missed out on the top prize at the James Halliday Australian Cabernet Challenge by the narrowest of margins in what was a nail-biting finish to the virtual trophy judging process.

Winemaker Peter Weinberg (pictured right) was thrilled for this wine to have been awarded Best of Region from a pool of 72 Coonawarra wines presented for judging. “The team at Brand’s feels honoured to win the Best of Region award amongst such strong competition from one of the world’s best cabernet growing regions,” Peter said. “This award is testament to the strength and commitment of our grapegrowing and winemaking teams at Brand’s Laira, we will be back next year for this fantastic event.”

In what is believed to be a world first, judging of the 2020 James Halliday Australia Cabernet Challenge presented by Langton’s, took place simultaneously in Australia’s preeminent cabernet producing regions - Coonawarra, along with Margaret River and Yarra Valley - also connecting through virtual means to deliver this single variety wine show with a difference. A panel of five judges each in Margaret River and Coonawarra, tasted close to 200 wines over two days, with a further 40 wines assessed on the third and final day, to determine the regional trophy winners and overall Cabernet Champion in a virtual taste off via Zoom.

Coonawarra icon and former Balnaves winemaker Pete Bissell (above main & inset), chaired the panel. The 2018 Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon, from Margaret River, took the top honours, scoring 97 points of a possible 100 to claim the top trophy from 364 entries, encompassing 29 Australian wine regions.

Coonawarra Cabernet Celebrations is back for 2020. One of South Australia’s best regional wine-based festivals, it is the largest of its kind in the Limestone Coast, boasting a program of more than 60 events across five weeks. The event is made possible by South Australian Tourism Commission through Events South Australia with funding made available through the Regional Events and Festival Program.

The month long festival kicks off on Thursday, October 1, with bespoke tastings and special events running throughout October. A highlight on the wine region’s event calendar, the month is designed to showcase and celebrate the Coonawarra wine region’s signature red wine cabernet sauvignon.

The first weekend will see the Coonawarra Golf Day and Family Fiesta kick off the festival, coinciding, with the October long weekend. The following weeks will see themes around blending wine, the region’s heritage and new release wines – ‘from barrel to glass’, wrapping up with a ‘showtime’ theme – on the weekend that would have played host to the Penola show.

Heidi Eldridge, Acting Executive Officer and Events & Marketing Manager of Coonawarra Vignerons said there will be plenty of opportunities for wine lovers, foodies and families alike to discover Coonawarra, whilst enjoying the world class wines, country hospitality and sense of community.

“It is a great showcase and collaborative effort of our members with 24 wineries hosting events or participating in combined regional events,” she said. “Visitors to Coonawarra will enjoy a wide range of activities over the course of the month to ‘celebrate, educate and activate their senses’, including vertical tasting flights, chocolate and cheese wine pairing, make-your-ownblend activities, a golf day, dining experiences with winemakers, and live music and outdoor games on picturesque winery lawns.”

One of the feature events in the calendar is the Regional Cabernet [Decade]nce Tasting and is a fantastic example of wineries co-presenting. “The Cabernet [Decade]nce Tasting will bringing together at least 15 producers and winemakers in one location to taste and compare 10 year old wines with current releases,” Ms Eldridge said.

The event, which is typically held on a Friday evening has been rescheduled to Saturday afternoon, October 17, and is hoped to attract up to 100 cabernet lovers in the spacious Raidis Estate event shed, in a seated speed date style arrangement with winemakers and producers circulating the room to showcase their wines to each table of guests. Tickets are available online for only $35pp and must be purchased in advance.

The Coonawarra Golf Day also returns as a feature event in the October program and will kick off the first of five weekends of events.

Presented by the Limestone Coast’s 96.1 SAFM and 963 Triple M, the Coonawarra Golf Day will host teams of four in a day of social but competitive ambrose golf, at the Penola Golf Course.

“We have had a tremendous response to this year’s Golf Day with team registrations filling well in advance of the day,” Ms Eldridge said.

Like many events and festivals scheduled in 2020, the Coonawarra Cabernet Celebrations program of events has been affected by the circumstances surrounding COVID19. “Our wineries have certainly had to consider the restrictions in place and adapt their offerings to ensure that capacity limits can be safely managed,” she said. “Events that have typically drawn a large crowd, combining live music, drinking, and dancing unfortunately were among the first to be withdrawn. Despite this, the program is still as extensive as ever.”

There is great emphasis being placed around the intimacy and exclusivity of events, with bookings highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Examples of wineries modifying their events to suit the current climate is evident throughout the program. “One of the much loved events that sells out every October

is the Balnaves of Coonawarra Sparkling Breakfast, a seated affair that attracted up to 100 people in their winery,” Ms Eldridge said.

“This year, they are taking a more casual approach, serving up bacon and egg rolls from their cellar door for guests to grab and go, or enjoy on the lawns with their signature Sparkling Cabernet – a great way to start the day of touring in Coonawarra”.

Zema Estate is one of two wineries offering a Virtual Tasting Event, inviting attendees from all over Australia to meet owner Nick Zema and winemaker Joe Corey, while tasting their wines.

Pre-registration is essential for wine packs to be received in time for the online event on Friday, October 9.

A shuttle bus (hop on, hop off) will be operating from Penola, travelling the Coonawarra Strip on weekends in October (excluding Saturday, October 31), to help visitors travel between wineries affordably at $20pp per day, so call 1800 861 190 to pre book.

RURAL RUNDOWN The Janmac philosophy Quietly achieving excellence Following last year’s record October sale, Janmac’s 16th Annual Production Sale will feature approx. 220-230 Poll Dorset and White Suffolk Rams at the 2020 on-property auction. The largest offering to date presented by the Janmac team is driven by client feedback and strong market demand.

Producing durable rams with the genetic potential to turn “grass into top end dollars” is one of Janmac’s key breeding principles that sees the stud continue to grow in popularity amongst sheep producers.

Potential purchasers seeking rams for increased profits from the paddock will find excellence in this year’s line-up. All Janmac rams have met strict selection criteria where traits including balance, structure, conformation, fertility and performance, growth rates and muscling were key to the selection process.

While its’ not quite business as usual this year, the Hausler’s are adapting to the new normal and working closely with their agents, Rodwells Edenhope and Nutrien AG Solutions, Naracoorte to meet the new Covid-19 requirements, and ensure all Janmac’s valued buyers can easily purchase the rams of their choice.

In a first for the stud, the onproperty sale will be interfaced live online with the Elite Livestock Auctions platform so if borders remain closed all buyers can still participate in the October sale.

The Elite Livestock Auctions platform offers the preferred ‘Pick of the Pen’ selling format Janmac clients like, and as the entire sale will be streamed ‘live’ bids are easily accepted from any location around Australia after a simple registration process.

Grant and Bryce are confident astute and professional lamb producers will find the impressive

array of rams on offer this year will meet the industry’s needs, Two of the stud’s most exciting sire purchases in recent years are producing exceptional progeny in both stud sire prospects and commercial rams.

The outstanding sire, Ulandi Park 151-17 was purchased for $18,000 in partnership with Kurralea Poll Dorsets & White Suffolks, and selected for his length, clean points, and sire appeal. This ram has not disappointed with his progeny.

Another great addition to the stud’s gene pool was the purchase of Kurralea 435-16 in 2017. This ram was purchased outright by Janmac for $12,000. Teaming up again with South Australia’s Rowett family, the partnership secured an outstanding sire, K234-16 for a sale top of $15,000 adding further genetic depth to the stud.

Both these rams feature exceptional breed shape and muscling and highlights the Hausler’s commitment to quietly achieve excellence in both breeds.

GOING, GOING, SOLD: In the auctioneers’ box are David Heinrich, Landmark Naracoorte and Richard Miller, Landmark Stud Stock SA, with David Hannel, Rodwells Edenhope, and long-term clients, Paul Brook and Bill Rich. Joining them in the ring are Janmac’s Grant and Bryce Hausler, Craig Rich, Jacob McGennisken, Rich Family Farms, and Stephen Rich with daughter Eloise.

Around 50 rams sired by these two high performance rams will feature in this year’s sale and includes several stud prospects to be offered in the top ten stud ram lots Grant, Bryce and families extend a warm welcome to both stud and commercial lamb producers to the

Upcoming ram sales

Woolumbool getting the job done Woolumbool is based north of Lucindale in SA’s South East and has been breeding Poll Dorsets since 1975, White Suffolks since 1987 and registered Poll Merinos since 1992.

Objective measurements are a must use tool at Woolumbool, in fact we would not breed sheep without them in conjunction with visual traits.

It is efficient production which underpins the breeding objectives at Woolumbool where we aim for lower birthweights coupled with high early growth combined with exceptional muscling which gives our rams the capacity to produce fast growing easy finishing lambs.

Our rams are raised principally on pasture and we are reluctant

to use supplementary feed unless the season is really against us.

Woolumbool rams are all late winter or spring born and are therefore not overweight by sale time and are very fit and active leading to very good mating capacity.

Our clients in general are very focussed on breeding values and are particularly interested in purchasing sires which fit their own breeding objectives.

Woolumbool has always been pro-active with involvement in the latest research and to this end with interest in lamb eating quality we have more recently submitted lambs for processing in conjunction with other studs where the loins have been retained to measure

2019 RAM SALE: Top priced rams imf and sf5 by MLA scientists to contribute to our current knowledge in this area.

DNA testing of a portion of our young rams has become a regular occurrence in more recent years.

The 2020 offering of Poll Dorset and White Suffolk rams has a high proportion of rams sired by leading rams on the LEQ index.

The Woolumbool Poll Merino stud flock has a large suite of objective measurements taken across wool and meat traits. We aim to breed a robust, worm resistant merino which produces high clean fleece weight wool of 18 micron which is free growing long stapled and bright with good resistance to flystrike. Our Poll Merino rams are consistently above average when compared across the 3 main merino indexes.

Woolumbool also breeds Multimeat composites which carry

a DNA tested double copy of the booroola high fecundity gene.

This composite is particularly useful for breeding 1st cross ewes with very high lambing capacity with scanning rates in excess of 200% leading to well managed ewes able to wean in excess of 155% without having to lower stocking rates to achieve this.

We have recently been putting emphasis on the fleece characteristics and measuring the full suite of wool traits of the Multimeat composite to produce finer fleeces without losing carcase attributes.

The Multimeat rams are not included in our annual sale but are available by lease arrangement only, through the Multimeat Company.

Madness...

I had last week off to perform some in depth research in my continued efforts to expose Arnott’s and their continued Tim Tam scam. For those who’ve missed my efforts to change your world, I’ve discovered that Arnott’s have been trying to trick us by putting eleven Tim Tams in standard packs, but then only nine in their fancy Tim Tam packs (think White Choc, Mint, Double Coat etc).

The deception comes from the fact they are putting the nine Tim Tams in packaging that is the same size as the eleven Tim Tams, deliberately trying to make us think we’re receiving the same amount of Tim Tam. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they then got the word out a couple of weeks ago that they’d sold an extra four million packets of Tim Tams during the pandemic. They were trying to

make it appear that we’re a bunch of greedy guts when we simply had to buy more packs to get the same number of Tim Tams.

Now I find out that they ran some sort of competition to create a new Tim Tam flavour that I hadn’t heard about. I think the fact I don’t know about it indicates that they were deliberately keeping it quiet so they could manipulate the outcomes.

Did any of you hear about this vote? It screams of Russian interference to me. Bloody Putin!

He’s at it again. Let me be clear, I wouldn’t have voted for Double Choc Caramel Cream. There’s already Caramel Tim Tams. There’s already Double Choc. We really don’t need a mash up of those two existing flavours. Innovate Arnott’s.

Take a risk. how some creativity.

How about Coke flavoured Tim Tams? Hawaiian Pizza flavoured Tim Tams? Tell me that wouldn’t be a great idea. I think we all know there are only going to be nine Tim Tams in the Double Choc Caramel Cream packs, don’t we?

I want to give a fair and balanced coverage of Arnott’s. I don’t want anyone to think I’m not capable of seeing the good things Arnott’s do and the times they work ethically. I’m not biased.

Let’s consider 100’s and 1000’s biscuits for example. Presumably 100’s and 1000’s refers to the number of small pieces of coloured confectionery found on the top of these biscuits.

My in depth undercover research this week has found that there are in fact an average of 194

hundreds and thousands found on each individual biscuit*. Multiply that by the twenty four biscuits in each packet and you’ve got 4656 100’s and 1000’s in each packet.

As promised, there are hundreds and thousands of 100’s and 1000’s.

Well done, Arnott’s.

Another story I’ll present to provide an unbiased coverage of Arnott’s involves my first kiss.

My friends had told me that if you were going to kiss a girl you needed fresh minty breath. They recommended chewies. I didn’t have chewies, and even if I did I probably wouldn’t have used them because chewing chewies is a disgusting habi. It’s worse than smoking and you can quote me on that.

Anyway, luckily for me my mum had packed Arnott’s Mint Slice in my lunch box that day which I decided would give me the same effect. I didn’t get any complaints from the nice young lady so I’m going to attribute that one to Arnott’s saving the day. Good job, Arnott’s.

Now that I’m finished with trying to be balanced, I can continue pointing out problems with Arnott’s.

I’ve found Tic Toc biscuits completely unreliable in telling the time. In my experience they only show the correct time twice a day.

Yo-yo biscuits never come back up

when I throw them at the ground.

Have you ever noticed that Tina Wafers and Triple Wafers are exactly the same biscuits, just in different shapes? If you’d like to support me in launching a lawsuit to get Arnott’s to ensure there are eleven Tim Tams in every packet, email me at robbietansel@gmail.com

* In all honesty, I can’t really claim that is the average. I only counted the 100’s and 1000’s on one biscuit.

It was really hard so I decided I couldn’t be bothered counting multiple biscuits to get an average.

And let’s be honest. It’s ridiculous enough that I counted how many 100’s and 1000’s on one biscuit.

Lakes Black are the 2020 MGNA Stand Alone Competition division one premiers after a stunning second half to the season that saw the fourth placed team upset the premiership favourites in the semi finals and then take the title by 22 goals. East Gambier recruit Bo Creek was the star of the finals series for Lakes Black, earning best on court honours in the grand final, and her defensive combination with Madison Pasquazzi proved the difference again in the weekend title decider.

Amazons Grey’s Kerryn Finnis and Brooke Stephenson had to work overtime in the mid court to find their goalers Abbie Cocks and Megan Bowering in space and when the turnovers came, Kelsey Widdison, Emily Nicholson and Amanda Bowd moved the ball quickly through the mid court for Lakes giving Emalee Stokker and Sarah Gardin plenty of opportunities to hit the scoreboard.

Finnis, Stephenson and Jordanna Jones were working hard through the Amazons Grey mid court, with their open spaces limited, using multiple passes to get through the zone defence being applied to them but in the end, Lakes Black was just able to secure too much turnover ball and with the strong finishing from Stokker and Gardin, the fairytale team of the competition was always in control.

Leading by nine at the first change and 20 at the half, the title was a done deal.

Mount Gambier to host downhill mountain bike event

RACING RETURNS AT WEEKEND: Mount Gambier riders (from left) - Shane de Jong, Deegan Watson & Haiden Smith Local downhill mountain bike racers have returned from the South Australian State Championships with some strong results.

The championships were hosted on private property at Sellicks Hill Wintery at Willunga, with eight local competitors finishing inside the top 10 of their respective categories.

Mount Gambier will be the centre of the downhill mountain bike racing universe this weekend when it hosts the State’s best riders.

The Wheel Nutz track, which runs from Centenary Tower across the ridge and down to Brownes

Lake, is a technically difficult and challenging track and will test the riders across the weekend.

The event is being held on October 3 and 4 with practice sessions running from 10am-4pm on Saturday and 8am practice on Sunday with racing from 12noon.

With no international travel possible, elite riders Connor Fearon and Shelly Flood will be tackling the Wheel Nutz course and are looking forward to what the Mount Gambier event has to offer.

“I’m really excited to make the trip to Mount Gambier for the final round of the State Downhill Series,”

Fearon said. “I haven’t been able to race there since the mid-2000s.

The terrain in Mount Gambier is different to what we have in Adelaide which makes for a great event and fun racing.”

Leila’s on track

Leila Croker has had a lot of success over the past 12 months.

Leila, who only started competing in heptathlons less than 12 months ago, won silver at the Australian Combined Events Championships in February.

The 14 year old competed in the Under 15 category and finished just 30 points behind the eventual winner, which equates to basically a second or a centimetre in any discipline. “Not much has

been happening in the last five months but before that I had gone to Brisbane to compete in the Heptathlon Championships. It was a good experience,” Leila said. “I ended up coming second overall.

I did the Heptathlon and it was over two days and on the first day there was the 90 metre hurdles, the high jump, the shot put and the 200 metres. On the second day there is long jump, javelin and the 800 metres. One of my strongest (events) is the hurdles and the running events. I hope to continue to place at Nationals and just see how it goes from there.”

The teenager achieved personal bests in four out of her seven disciplines and also received the Athletics SA Barb Stephens Perpetual Award for Most Promising Multi Eventer. “That was an honour, I wasn’t expecting that,” she said. A keen hurdler, Croker is

Another beautiful day greeted the 15 riders who rode another team time trial as part of the Mount Gambier Cycling Club’s Spring Series. It was great to see some new riders out at the Attamurra Rd Course. The 15 riders were grouped into five teams of three riders. Each team left the start line at one minute intervals, riding into a headwind for the first part of the course before the turnaround point and a tailwind ride home.

Once again, all riders enjoyed the camaraderie of this team innovation, with the slower riders riding faster than ever. The team of Tess Wight, Naomi Feder, and Bruce McLaughlin was first to return (33:23), but in racing time was beaten by the team of Ash Herrewyn, Mike Bakker and Dean Zeven (32:49). Rounding out the podium was the team of Pru Riddoch, Gerard Coote and Malcolm Tirabassi (37:05) followed by the team of Matthew Opperman, John Cranwell, and Jen Buckland (37:30), with Nick Kidman and Mark Wight combining to drag Jason Buckland across the finish line (39:42).

The club will take a break from racing over the school holidays and return with a shotgun race along Caves Rd on October 11.

Over the weekend many club members also came out to prepare the velodrome for the upcoming track racing season.

Stay tuned for further details, especially for opportunities for junior riders to be involved in learning to ride around the velodrome.

a big fan of champion Australian athlete Sally Pearson. Pearson won gold at the 2012 London Olympics in the 100 metres hurdles and won silver at the 2008 Olympics in 2008 Beijing. “An Australian athlete I’ve always looked up to is Sally Pearson,” Leila said. She is also a keen swimmer and netballer who enjoys participating in a team sporting environment. “I used to do swimming and I play netball as well,” she said. “It’s nice to play a team sport because athletics is more of an individual sport and being with a team is a lot of fun.”

Croker also took out the 2019/20 under 16 Athletics SA Athlete of the Year in Track and Field.

Sixty-one veteran golfers went to the Naracoorte golf course on an extremely windy day for the latest round of South East Golf Veterans competition. The greens were hard and slick and this resulted in some poor scoring with only one on 36, then a 35, and the next best were 33s, however the ball rundown did go to 30.

The Monfries and Porter families were the generous donors of some excellent trophies, and a fine lunch was served, Bill Moorhouse being prominent behind the bar making sure everyone was COVID compliant.

First division winner on 36 was Milan Hodak, of Kingston, from Steve Von Duve, of Blue Lake, and Barry Brook, of Attamurra, with 32s. Second division went to Rodger Henschke, of Naracoorte, 35, from Allan Chalk, of Attamurra, and Otto Modra (Naracoorte) on

33. There were four nearest the pins supplied, going to Rob Cece, Rob Ellis, Brian Pennell, and Trevor Williams. The Ross Orchard prize was won by Wayne Dunford and Mark Teakle.

Jaxon Rayner is a talented motoCross and off road motorcycle rider that has built his feldgling career on heart and a strong work ethic.

“I probably want it a bit more than everyone else out there,” Jaxon said.

“I’d rather fall off trying than not trying as hard as someone else. I’ll push it to the limit a little bit more than the rest of the boys there.

“I just try and get it done; I just work as hard as I can really.”

Jaxon recovered from a slow start to finish second in the MX2 Pro Class Championships and recorded a race win in the last round.

But the 18-year-old has sounded a warning to his nearest rivals.

“I feel like there will be more to come this time,” Jaxon said.

“The last time I thought it was a bit of a fluke. But now I’ve got a feeling that something has clicked, and I should be right for next year.

“My focus on the track is a lot better.

“I feel like my fitness is finally there and all that was needing to happen was my focus and I’ve finally switched on a bit more and just focusing on myself instead of the other riders during the race.”

Jaxon also had an outstanding South Australian Off Road Championships.

“I won every single race except for the first race of the year in my class and I got outright clubman which is three classes combined, so I beat all of them,” he said.

“I’ll be moving up to the expert open class next year.

I’ll put my head down and my bum up and train as hard as I can this off-season just to make sure I’ve done everything that I can personally to be ready.”

His involvement at the Limestone Coast Regional Sporting Academy since 2017 has helped shape him as a professional athlete.

“It’s helped a lot with all the

connections they have,” Jaxon said.

“They have nutritionists and sports psychologists, they’ve got everything there to build really good, strong athletes and that program that they run is really professional.

“They’ve helped get my name out there a lot, I feel like a lot more people know not only me and my riding but the sport in general.

“I’ve noticed more change in the last few years than any other point in my racing and I feel like it’s a lot to do with them.”

Jaxon also owes plenty to his dad, who is the chief mechanic in his pit crew.

“He makes sure I’m happy and everything is right, and I’m not too stressed out,” Jaxon said. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without him.”

Mount Gambier’s Borderline Speedway has for a long time had a close relationship with Victorian speedways like Hamilton, Avalon, and, in particular, Warrnambool, and have often looked to coordinate meetings so cars can race one night at one track and then head to one of the other tracks the next night as that helps attract drivers when they can attend two or more meetings in a short space of time in the same region.

The Borderline’s close proximity to the border meant forging a relationship with those tracks was so beneficial but with the closure of the border and no end in sight for those restrictions, the Borderline Speedway and the other South Australian based speedway officials met on September 20 to come up with a plan that could see racing start up, as per usual, just within the State.

Borderline Speedway president Cary Jennings was at the meeting and is pleased a 2020 calendar has been put in place.

“Speedway is going to happen in South Australia and fire up in October at Murray Bridge and possibly the following month in Mount Gambier and there’s 10

race meetings scheduled in South Australia between early October through to December which is a plus for the speedway fraternity and coming up in the future Borderline Speedway will put a plan in to the committee as well as their members and we hope the speedway starts firing up in Mount Gambier sooner than later,” Jennings said.

“Unfortunately, Victoria is closed down so we won’t be able to have any Victorian competitors compete until the borders open up and allow them to come and compete and that will be excellent if it happens over the Christmas period.

“Mount Gambier is looking forward to making speedway happen and we’re pushing forward and we will just see what comes out of the committee and our general meeting in the next couple of weeks and the COVID situation will affect all speedways and canteens and the way we do things for the future.”

Jennings confirmed the Borderline Speedway will be putting plans in place to meet COVID protocols.

“We need to have a COVID plan at each track and the tracks and the committees are working through some COVID plans now with Speedway Australia and associated other groups so looking forward to seeing speedway flourish again in South Australia,” he said.

“Drivers will be allowed to have their crew with them. The main thing is the social distancing and social distancing is everywhere at the moment, so it’ll be no different in the pits or on the hill or in front of the canteens and if the booths open they’ll have to be seated.

“We just need to have an in-field plan so we treat everyone with social distancing and work through a plan.”

Jennings was also hopeful the Borderline Speedway would return to Mount Gambier before Christmas.

“We’ll be releasing a calendar as soon as the members of Borderline Speedway pass it,” Jennings said.

“We’ve got a special general meeting on October 9 so following that night we hope to release the calendar which may start before Christmas or may start after in January. It’ll be up to the members in the committee to decide.

“We’ll just be positive and proactive and hope we make Speedway happen in Mount Gambier and the whole of South Australia.”
