The magic of Mimco

Iconic brand joins Specsavers eyewear collections

Specsavers Mount Gambier optical partners Kathryn Benjamin & Erica Johnston

Specsavers has made a habit of partnering with iconic Australian brands and they have recently added Mimco to the list.

The Mimco X Specsavers collection offers a stunning, bold range of glasses, and prescription sunglasses, that cater to anyone who wants to combine function with design to express their own individual style.

Designed with a focus on fashion and quality, fun and slightly unconventional - the Mimco X Specsavers collection will attract a new customer to their stores, including Specsavers Mount Gambier.

So excited by the new partnership, that adds to the 10 year partnership with Collette Dinnigan, 11 year partnership with Alex Perry, Country Road partnership of 13 years and six

year Carla Zampatti collaboration, Specsavers Mount Gambier is offering an in-store promotion running until the end of September.

Mention Lifestyle 1 and you will receive one free Ultra Clear Super Clean coating with any Mimco purchase.

The Mimco collection features 13 optical frames and seven sunglass styles each showcasing stylish acetates and modern shapes. With attention to detail and impeccable craftsmanship, these frames will elevate any look, adding a touch of sophistication and flair.

When Mimco was established in 1996, the aim was to create stylish accessories that managed to balance timelessness with a unique twist – they wanted to be fashionable yet fun, sophisticated yet statement and always with an

element of surprise.

The Mimco Eyewear collection embodies the shared vision of Specsavers and Mimco of offering fashionable eyewear that celebrates individuality and self-expression. The collection was officially launched on August 10 offering a range of frames that combine style and substance and are not just eyewear but also fashion accessories.

Teaming up with Mimco sees Specsavers looking to primarily attract the 25-40 demographic that might not have previously considered Specsavers for their eyewear needs.

Embracing the chance to be a business leader

Young Metro employee takes home Intrapreneur Leader in a Business at 2023 reframed awards

So often, business award schemes celebrate business owners but in the reimagined 2023 Women in Business and Regional Development and Mount Gambier Chamber of Commerce Awards, there was a category to celebrate those who lead while working for someone.

Eirene Couzens, part of the Metro Bakery & Café management team, took out the Intrapreneur Leader in a Business, rewarded for her want to develop as a leader and her passion for the business and her role in ensuring it continues to evolve.

“I am really passionate about working here,” Eirene said. “It has helped me learn so much about how to work in a team, how to work independently and how to manage my own area.”

Eirene (pictured above centre with board members Brittany Shelton; Toni Vorenas; Candice Fennell & Kelsie Prowse) joined the Metro team in February last year. She has a background in the service industry and hospitality more specifically, loves working with people and knew owner Toni Vorenas from her childhood.

“When we first sat down and talked about my role, Toni was already talking about how my role could grow within the business,” Eirene said.

“She has allowed me to grow and have that understanding of what it means to be an intrapreneur and I have learnt so many skills.”

It was as a 14 year old that Eirene started her working life and it was in hospitality at Caffe Belgiorno and aside from a brief

foray into finance, she has pretty much stayed true to her passion.

“I like people, I like meeting people,” she said. “The service industry is something I am comfortable in and been in now for such a long time. I’ve worked in cafes, worked at Royal Copenhagen and had some time at a patisserie in Adelaide.”

For Eirene, the ability to express your individuality was a key factor in joining the Metro team.

“Everybody is welcome here,” she said. “You can be yourself, you can express yourself and that is an idea that is really important to me. We are like a family.”

She was also enticed by Toni’s promise of that personal and professional development and the chance to work her way into leadership.

“Toni has given me the chance to prove I can do it,” Eirene said.

“I am a creative person and hospitality, while there is a big focus on service and keeping customers comfortable and happy, you do get to do things in a fun way and always engaging with people.”

Already boasting front of house experience, Eirene has been able to hone her bar tending skills at Metro, adding to her hospitality skillset, as well as the other skills that are developed when you take on a management role.

“I’ve developed my understanding of flavours, I’ve learnt to think on my feet even better, learnt so much about wine and then I have also learnt about costings, staffing and all those sort of organisational things.

“ I have been involved in doing

functions and I have loved learning about the big picture type of stuff and doing a lot of those things side by side with Toni.

“There is something different every day but you also have the familiar when your regular customers come in.”

What she has enjoyed learning is finding the balance of being flexible but setting standards, of showing empathy but also being prepared to take charge.

“I am always trying to understand other people’s needs but also knowing when to put my foot down,” Eirene said.

“I want to earn respect, I want to support and help my staff and it has been a challenge to walk that line of friend, colleague and boss but I think I am getting there.”

The development she is enjoying at Metro is also helping with her other life as a Reiki practitioner and while that is still in its embryonic stage, it is a part of her life she is committed to developing as well.

She has been qualified since February this year as a level two practitioner and is working towards her Level 3 qualifications which would see her a Reiki Master.

Finding time is one of her biggest challenges but she is looking to further her studies in the holistic health and wellness space.

“Metro has been such a safe space for me and Toni has been such a great mentor and I will be able to take the skills I am learning here into my own business and Toni encourages that and supports what I am trying to achieve,” Eirene said.

Eagles push for new league grounded

Penola Football & Netball Club vote to stay in Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara competition

Uncertainty surrounds the future of the six current Western Border Football League and Western Border Netball Association clubs with the Penola Football & Netball Club voting narrowly to stay in the Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara competition for the 2024 season. Only a handful of votes denied the Eagles the mandate to leave the northern football-netball

competition and be part of a newly formed league involving the current Western Border clubs. Needing 67 percent of the membership to vote yes, the no vote prevailed with only a handful of votes determining the final decision to remain in the Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara competition. Concerns over the club’s ability to compete financially, and therefore on the field, at senior football level, with many of the northern based clubs, issues with the structure of the netball competition and consistency of game day opportunities and the ongoing viability of all junior competitions, football and netball, spurred the Penola Football & Netball Club executive to serious investigate the opportunity to be a foundation club in a new competition in 2024.

SANFL Head of Community

Football Shawn Ford admitted the no vote was a setback but that work on the 2024 restructure would be ongoing and a solution found.

“It’s another part of the process and that process will now continue to find a sustainable outcome for the future,” Ford said. “There is a lot of emotion out in the community.”

The community football chief now faces the task of leading the next steps in the process with the pressure of a ticking clock ever present.

“We will reconvene the working group as a matter of urgency,” he said, with those meetings to plot a new path forward returning to the in-confidence format of the past few months.

“It will be done as a matter of urgency – we understand the time constraints. We know time is working against us. We understand people want answers.”

Ford was at pains to point out that no decision had been made on the next steps for the new look 2024 for the current Western Border clubs and that there were still a variety of options on the table.

“It is not just a matter of throwing two leagues together and waltzing

“...the Penola option was a good one in our eyes but unfortunately it didn’t get up. It is back to the drawing board. The Penola vote certainly showed the level of interest for change within the region...”

out of town,” he said, referring to the original proposal of a Mid South East and Western Border merger. “That is no certainty to go ahead whatsoever – there is now a myriad of conversations to be had. No decisions have been made.

“The Penola option was a good one in our eyes but unfortunately it didn’t get up. It is back to the drawing board. The Penola vote certainly showed the level of interest for change within the region.”

“It is not just Western Border clubs putting their hands up to explore other options which is a great sign – there is other interest around the region.”

“It’s not all doom and gloom –we are still working to get the best outcome for football and netball in the region.”

Ford was also full of gratitude for the work Penola football president Matt Tilby and netball president Sophie Schulz and their hard working committee and club leaders had put in to build a case for the move and what it would have meant for the Eagles going forward.

“We have to acknowledge the work Penola put in behind the scenes – it was unbelievably thorough and they have been extremely well led through this process. We can’t speak highly enough of the work they have done, they’ve been brilliant,” Ford said. “We want to thank them got having the courage to explore what their future looks like.

“Penola now needs to take stock and get their members back together.”

Asked if there was a doomsday possibiity with some clubs having no competition in which to play, he was categoric that no club would be left without a home in 2024.

Proposed offshore wind farm hits another road block

Students lead a new look for local school

Melaleuca Park Primary School launches rebrand

The proposed offshore wind farm development running from Warrnambool to Port MacDonnell has hit another speed hump with the South Australian Government categorically recommending South Australia not be included in the project.

After tense community forums and the formation of Southern Coast Ocean Care, a community driven committee of concerned Port MacDonnell residents and stakeholders, proponents of the project have not been able to garner the support of the South Australian Government – the State Government backing the views of motions already put forward by both District Council of Grant and the City of Mount Gambier to end any proposed offshore windfarm project at the border.

In its submission to the Commonwealth, the State Government expressed concerns about the potential impact construction of an offshore windfarm in that area could have on South Australia’s southern fisheries and marine environment.

South Australian Minister for Climate, Environment and Water Susan Close said The South Australian Government was committed to renewable energy projects that improved the state’s energy security.

“But we cannot support ones that have the potential to cause significant harm to local industries and the environment,” Minister Close said. “This is particularly the case when they have no net benefit to South Australians. The zones proximity to our marine parks and the Bonney Upwelling is also of significant concern given the rich biodiversity in the region.”

The energy generated within the zone would be connected exclusively to the Victorian power grid.

Minister Close’s cabinet colleague Clare Scriven, Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, who has close connections to the seaside town agreed the South East was world renowned for its clean, green and sustainable produce, and the seafood sectors operating off the coast of Port MacDonnell were proudly committed to enhancing and protecting this reputation.

“The sector contributes more than 1000 full time equivalent jobs, making it crucial to regional employment and especially the local economy in the South East,” Minister Scriven said. “The State Government has stood with the Rock Lobster Industry since coming to government, particularly in the wake of difficult times with COVID and trade tensions with China.

“The sector needs certainty

going forward that some of its most productive fishing grounds will not be impacted by a project that, while impacting on South Australia, will deliver energy to Victoria.”

The SA Government’s decision was welcomed by the $187.5 million rock lobster industry.

South Australian Rock Lobster Advisory Council executive officer Nathan Kimber congratulated the government for its strong show of support for South Australia’s most valuable seafood resource, the Southern Rock Lobster fishery, which has been generating economic and social outcomes for our state year on year for 80 years.

“It continues the support that the state government has provided to us over the past three years as we have navigated the fallout from COVID and various trade disruptions,” Mr Kimber said.

“Having an offshore energy zone declared off South Australia’s Port MacDonnell in an area critical to our fishery will only add to the uncertainties and stress that the industry and Limestone Coast communities have experienced over this period.

“We now hope that Minister Bowen will listen to the submissions made by the South Australian Government and our industry and amend the proposed Southern Ocean offshore energy zone to exclude any waters that overlap with our fishery boundaries.”

Grant District Council Mayor Kylie Boston said the State Government had nailed their submission, reflecting the reasons why her council had opposed any proposed project in the waters off Port MacDonnell.

“It is great to see that support of that industry that we know is really important for our area,” Mayor Boston said. “To see both sides of politics, industry and environmental groups on the same page – that tells you something.”

The area is also home to other important fisheries including abalone, marine scalefish, bluefin tuna, as well as recreational fisheries, and is in close proximity to the state’s marine park sanctuary zones.

Commercial fishers have raised concerns about biomass, juvenile recruitment and settlement, the impact of noise, vibration and loss of habitat, electromagnetic fields, all of which may impact on future catches.

Further concerns are held for the proposal’s impact on biodiversity, ecosystems, and impact on a wide range of wildlife, including pygmy blue whale, southern right whale, white shark, Australasian gannet, wedge-tailed shearwater and several species of albatross.

It was a conversation that started in 2021 and after extensive consultation and planning, Melaleuca Park Primary School unveiled rebranding of the school’s logo and uniform earlier this year.

It was a whole of school community project from beginning to end with the students playing a key role in every step of the process.

It started with a review and update of the school’s mission, vision and values by the school’s governing council and the student leaders, and went from there.

Former principal Lynette Corletto, who was in charge at the time of the reimagining of the school’s brand, said with the new mission, vision and values in place, the logo and uniform were the logical next transformation.

“Our student leaders worked with Julia Reader to come up with the designs for the new logo,” Ms Corletto said. “They went through the creative development process, came up with options and then went through the consultation process with the school community. It really gave the students a sense of belonging and once they started working on the logo, the request was there to also change the uniform.”

It saw the colours of navy and teal selected to be featured in the new logo and also be the new colours for the school uniform,

replacing the maroon and pale blue.

The logo was developed to reflect Boandik country and tied in with work the students were doing in the indigenous studies with local elders, including extensive work in the indigenous language space, which saw the school win a Statewide competition. The language revival program in the junior primary classes ran over two years.

“It was also great for the kids to work side by side with Julia to see how a working artist actually works and what is involved in a project like creating a logo – it gave the students a real sense of pride in the project and gave them a chance to see how things work in the real world and outside the school – it

was a chance for them to see a working professional in action,” Ms Corletto said.

Three designs eventually made the cut before the final design was voted in.

The change of uniform saw the school provide every student with a polo shirt and a jumper and all new enrolments are also provided with the new look uniform items. Melaleuca Park Primary School principal Erica Hurley sad the new branding had been warmly received.

“It is about connection to our local community, connection to the land and connection to the country where we all learn,” she said.

The Mount Gambier & District Saleyards is one step closer to securing critical Federal Government funding for its Transformation Project through the new Growing Regions Program after an expression of interest submission. As part of a two-stage application process, the District Council of Grant has lodged an expression of interest with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communication and the Arts to assess the projects eligibility and progress to stage two of the application process.

Project design successful tenderers Mossop Construction + Interiors generated a project design concept in collaboration with key stakeholders which was included as supporting documentation, while Mount Gambier & District Saleyards Strategy Committee presiding member Councillor Barry Kuhl said the project was still a vital development for the livestock industry in the South East.

“After significant work over the past two years, council are pleased to have now entered into a competitive grants program,” Cr Kuhl said. “Council remains committed to continuing to best position this project over the course of the grants process in alignment with the Mount Gambier and District Saleyards Masterplan 20182028.”

Following further stakeholder engagement, the Saleyards Transformation Project has been renamed as the ‘Mount Gambier Districts Livestock Exchange 2030 Transformation’. The project still envisages a genuine partnership of Commonwealth, state and local governments which will transform the Saleyards to boost Australian jobs and economy to a $29.7m economic value, fulfilling regional Australia’s potential, and ensure no one is left behind.

The District Council of Grant and key stakeholders continue to work alongside Mossop in anticipation of a successful expression of interest result to prepare for the second stage of the Growing Regions grant application process demonstrating shovel-readiness of the project. Growing Regions Program Round 1 expression of interest applicants are anticipated to be notified of results mid to late October this year.

CHASING FUNDING FOR THE VISION: District Council of Grant chief executive officer Darryl Whicker, saleyards manager David Wallis, Growth and Tourism manager Rebecca Perkin, Mayor Kylie Boston, Mossop Construction + Interiors regional manager Craig Williamson, Saleyards Strategy Committee presiding member Councillor Barry Kuhl, and Combined Agents representative Ben Jones.

Former executive officer joins foundation board

The Stand Like Stone Foundation has added a familiars face to its team with former executive officer Georgie McKay being added to the board.

Stand Like Stone Foundation CEO Roger Babolka said while Mrs McKay was not new to the foundation, it was a new role for her.

“Very importantly she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the philanthropic sector to the foundation and I know all the board and staff are very pleased to have Georgie back in the fold,” Mr Babolka said.

Mrs McKay was executive officer of Stand Like Stone from 2012 to 2020, and over the eight years was at the helm of the organisation during a period of significant growth and increased impact across the region.

“I am thrilled to resume an official role with Stand Like Stone,”

Mrs McKay said. “Community foundations are so important in rural and regional areas as they provide a funding resource that is guided and directed by people with firsthand knowledge of the local issues, as they live and work in the region”.”

Mr Babolka said Mrs McKay was committed to the growth, renewal and sustainability of rural and regional communities and was a very active community member and volunteer, who has served on boards both in her local community and across Australia.

Mrs McKay is also a member of Impact100 SA, the 2016 Recipient of the Australian Community Philanthropy Award for Excellence & Achievement and a former NonExecutive Director and Treasurer of Community Foundations Australia, the peak body for Community Foundations in Australia.

“Stand Like Stone does such

exciting work and I am looking forward to working with the board to support Roger and the team to increase our impact and support across the Limestone Coast,” Mrs McKay said.

OFF THE BENCH WITH HUTCHY PICKERS

Naracoorte Lucindale Council is invested in implementing strategies to expand and diversify the economic base of the area and region. To support this, a new policy, Business & Residential Development Support, was adopted at the August meeting.

The policy allows and encourages businesses and residential developers to apply for Council support for their business ventures, or when subdividing land to create new housing allotments. The Policy applies to businesses who employ greater than five employees and are new to the area, or are planning significant expansion, or residential development that intends to provide more significant and timely opportunities for additional housing.

Council can consider supporting business or residential development in the following ways:

• Reimbursement of planning and/or building fees;

• Advocacy and support;

• Council rate rebates; or

• Infrastructure assistance or partnership.

Business owners and developers seeking assistance will need to submit a proposal to council. Proposals that are in addition to, or different to, the guidelines outlined in the policy may still be considered. A proposal must be provided to council for consideration prior to any construction commencing. All proposals will be considered for approval by elected council.

Business owners or developers looking for more information on the Policy can contact council staff on (08)8760 1100.

Book program celebrates

Bookmark competition this month as signifcant milestone reached

To celebrate its 200 million-book milestone, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is taking a page out of the classic book ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and hiding special prize-winning bookmarks in books for seven lucky children enrolled in the program, including one family from Australia.

The special Dolly bookmarks will be randomly hidden in Imagination Library books sent to children during September, which is also International Literacy Month. What do you win if you find a bookmark?

• A video chat with Dolly Parton.

• A personalised signed letter and an autographed photo from Dolly.

• Four Dollywood tickets.

The Dollywood Foundation will also donate $2000(AUD) on behalf of the child to their Local Imagination Library Partner in their community as a thank you to who Dolly calls the true heroes of her program.

Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write, Dolly started the Imagination Library in 1995 to serve the children of her hometown in Sevier County, Tennessee. Today, her program spans five countries and gifts over 2.4 million free, highquality, age-appropriate books each month to children around the world. There is never a charge to families who participate in the program, and it is open to all children under the age of five in geographic areas with operating programs. In Australia, the program operates in 500 locations, and is about to celebrate its own 1 million book milestone.

“I know there are children in communities around the world with big dreams and the seeds of these dreams are often found in books,” Dolly said. “It’s been one of my greatest gifts in life to help instil a love of reading through my Imagination Library. Reaching 200 million books worldwide is a major milestone that I’m so very proud of, and I want to thank all of our local program partners, funders and supporters from the bottom of my heart. But we’re just getting warmed up, we have so much more to do! Together, we can inspire even more children to dream more, learn more, care more and be more.”

United way Glenelg executive olfficer Nicole Carr, the local coordinator for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, was eagerly anticipating the possibility that a family from Glenelg Shire might just be among the fortunate victors.

“There are 35,000 children enrolled in Australia receiving books each month,” Ms Carr said.

“Our chances are as promising as any for a local family to discover

the coveted golden bookmark.”

In the month of September, families are urged to attentively open their books and meticulously examine each page and be on the lookout for any hidden surprises.

The remarkable achievement of reaching the 200 million-book milestone aligns with a significant celebration for the local charity as well – a decade of delivering books within the Glenelg Shire.

“As we celebrate this significant milestone, we are reminded of the countless stories read, the imaginations ignited, and the bonds forged through the magic of books,” Ms Carr said. “With each passing year, our dedication to nurturing young readers and fostering a lifelong love for learning only grows stronger.”

In 2013, the inception of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library took place with then Victoria Premier Dr. Dennis Napthine and Portland Aluminium’s former plant manager, Peter Chellis. Since that time, a significant tally of nearly 44,000 books has been distributed to children residing in the Glenelg Shire.

“Portland Aluminium’s unwavering commitment in partnering with United Way Glenelg to sponsor Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library exemplifies a remarkable dedication to nurturing the boundless potential of young minds within our community,” Ms Carr said.

To mark this achievement and guarantee the ongoing success of the initiative, United Way Glenelg is set to unveil the Imagination Library Sub-Fund this September. This dedicated fund is intended to provide perpetual support to the Imagination Library program. By establishing this fund, the aim is to ensure the program’s enduring viability, enabling it to continue benefiting future generations of children.

For more information about enrolling your child in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library or making a donation contact United Way Glenelg on 0410513305 or email mail@unitedwayglenelg.com.au

Tyson wins top art award during SALA

Mount Gambier artist takes home Don Dunstan Foundation Award

Forgotten Fables of the SouthEast is a collision between pop art, graffiti art and social commentary. That was artist Tyson Jay Brant’s simple explanation of his debut solo exhibition at Mount Gambier’s Little Blue Wren Gift & Art, an exhibition that is now an award winning collection of work.

At the SALA Finissage event in Adelaide last Friday night, Tyson was announced the winner of the 2023 Don Dunstan Foundation Award for the exhibition. This award is for artists whose work explores social justice themes which align with the objectives and priorities of the Don Dunstan Foundation.

Tyson’s collection of portraits are framed around a focus on homelessness, mental health and other social issues and with that in mind, Little Blue Wren will be undertaking a collection of winter woollies, including NEW blankets, beanies, gloves and scarves, which will be donated to the Sunset Community Kitchen.

“The people I have painted are people in the community that I find interesting,” Tyson said. “They walk their own path and they do their own thing.

“The exhibition has been a form

of therapy for myself. I’m a big believer in artistic freedom and artistic expression. Seeing your work up on a wall is pretty cool and gives you a bit of self esteem and confidence.”

Tyson paints characters from the region in such a way that the viewer is forced to really see the subject – to look at the person they might ordinarily walk past on the street. The subject of the painting is presented with both power and presence and it is impossible to turn away.

“Every single person has a story to tell, but many of the people’s lives who are recorded as part of this exhibition are much more extreme in both their complexity and their simplicity. Interacting with and recording these fascinating local people’s stories is a privilege,” Tyson said.

“I wanted this exhibition to remind us that there are people in our local community facing complex and diverse challenges to long term safe and sustainable housing, as well as issues with accessing quality and timely mental health services.

“We as a community have a responsibility to ensure that their voices are heard,

Williams at Little Blue Wren and before he knew it, the opportunity to have an exhibition as part of the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) festival emerged.

“When I started the process of putting together the exhibition I did lose a little sleep but the closer it gets the more comfortable I get,” he said.

“I was pretty comfortable sitting at home just working. In a way, a big part of this exhibition is feeling good about what you do, valuing yourself and your work.”

In Australia, there are almost 123,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night. Homelessness in this country is such an extreme form of inequality that it is often easier to ignore it, than to show empathy or find any real, tangible solutions. The Forgotten Fables of the South-East is Tyson’s intimate examination and contemplation of the lives of our neighbours: people surviving in our local community while unhoused or with only temporary shelter.

“Tyson shines a light on the forgotten corners of our community, and the incredible people who live on the fringes,” gallery owner Gareth Williams said.

“This exhibition that Tyson has pulled together for SALA, is brilliant and confronting, it is bold and striking, and it forces us to confront our own privilege while also celebrating the beauty and presence of our houseless community,” Gareth said.

Tyson’s painting and animation is the latest chapter in just how he likes to express himself.

Music has always been a part of that and martial arts, predominantly boxing, was also a pre-cursor to his visual artistic pursuits.

“I had so much respect for some of the people I was hanging out with from the artistic world and they had their thing and I decided I should have my thing,” Tyson said. “I didn’t really embrace my love of art until I took up boxing and felt more confident. I went to school at Kangaroo Inn and boys didn’t

really get into art. I was a bit of an outcast among my peers so it was later that I really started to get into it (art).”

Tyson, who is all but self taught as an artist and animator, credits morning cartoon shows and cover art from albums with influencing both his painting and animation.

He has been a semi finalist in Australia’s premiere animation film festival Animate. He was also recognised in Australia’s largest independent music, art and media production Happy Mag for animation, music and art projects, as well as the series Forgotten Fables of the South-East and he also recently took out the South East Art Society Open Art Awards top gong.

Forgotten Fables of the SouthEast will be exhibited at Little Blue

Wren for an additional week.

Viewers are invited to donate winter woollies to local soup kitchen, Sunset Community Kitchen, and Tyson is also donating part proceeds from the sale of all of his paintings to the same local community group.

“I wanted this exhibition to remind us that there are people in our local community facing complex and diverse challenges to long term safe and sustainable housing, as well as issues with accessing quality and timely mental health services,” Tyson said. “We as a community have a responsibility to ensure that their voices are heard, that our houseless neighbours are seen so that their needs can no longer be ignored.”

About the Don Dunstan Award This award is for artists whose work explores social justice themes which align with the objectives and priorities of the Don Dunstan Foundation including: • Homelessness • Mental health • Migration (including cultural and ethnic diversity) • The purpose economy (i.e. economic equality) • Aboriginal economic empowerment and reconciliation • Human rights • Don Dunstan (pictured above)

Changes to waste management at District Council of Grant

Dementia in the spotlight for local service clubs

Following lengthy investigations, the District Council of Grant has created more flexible options for residents during kerbside mobile garbage bin collection expansions in light of changes to private service offerings.

Chief executive officer Darryl Whicker said the new approach will ensure that all practical properties receive access to appropriate waste services.

“After becoming aware of changing circumstances in private bin collection, council has altered its Waste Management Policy to enable expansion of the bin collection service to efficiently and effectively meet the demand in certain areas,” Mr Whicker said. The amended policy provides council with the ability to promptly approve expansions as they are identified and become feasible for council to service.

“Upon benchmarking, Council’s service is more affordable than private contractors, and we look to deliver this service to more people across our district,” he said.

The Waste Management Policy now also recognises unique waste requirements of local community/sporting groups and businesses, allowing those eligible to be considered for an alternate mobile garbage bin collection arrangement.

“If your private bin collection service has been cancelled recently, please reach out to council so we can collect data for future expansion plans.” Mr Whicker said. Residents with waste enquiries are encouraged to contact council’s principal office on (08)8721 0444.

GARBAGE BIN COLLETION IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Team Leader - Environmental Health and Compliance Aaron Price, and Director of Environmental Services Leith McEvoy prepared for future kerbside mobile garbage bin collection expansions following changes to private service offerings.

1/2 cup (50g) seasoned stuffing mix

700g jar tomato passata

1 cup (120g) coarsely grated cheddar

Sliced sourdough or crusty bread to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine mince and stuffing mix in a large bowl. Season. Roll tablespoonfuls of mince mixture into balls and place on a plate. Heat a greased large ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, for 10 mins or until browned and cooked through. Add passata. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Top with cheddar. Bake for 10 mins or until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly. Meanwhile, chargrill or toast the bread slices until golden brown. Serve with the meatballs.

The Rotary Club of Mount Gambier West invited Dementia Australia representative Liz Withall to provide some information regarding dementia awareness during a combined service club meeting on Sugust 29. Liz highlighted some important factors for brain health including visiting the GP for regular health checks, eating a balanced diet, getting plenty of exercise, challenging your brain and socialising with others. This is a good reminder in the lead up to Dementia Australia’s Dementia Action Week running from September 18-22.

This year’s theme is Act Now for a Dementia-Friendly Future. Since 2019, the focus of the Dementia Action Week campaign has been to reduce stigma and discrimination experienced by people living with dementia and their carers.

Communities that take action to become dementia-friendly have:

• less fear and a greater understanding of dementia

• less stigma and discrimination

• more support and better systems for people living with dementia to live well in their community for longer. During Dementia Action Week, we encourage you to reach out to your community and learn more about the needs of people living with dementia, their families and carers who are living in your area.

For further information about Dementia Action Week visit https://www.dementia.org.au/dementia-actionweek. For further information about Dementia including accessing services and support please contact the National Dementia Helpline that is available 24hrs a day, 7 days a week on: 1800 100 500.

Official opening of toy library in Naracoorte

Limestone Coast Toy Library set to open doors

Karen Lipsey Sebek was looking for a toy library in Naracoorte and when she realised there wasn’t one, she sprung into action.

Her efforts, along with a hard working band of fellow committee members, will see the Limestone Coast Toy Library open its doors this Saturday with a 9am to 12 noon open day at 14 Rowland Street, Naracoorte.

The toy library will officially start operation on September 12, opening on Tuesdays from 3-5.30pm; Thursdays from 9.30am to 12 noon and the first Saturday of each month.

It was at the start of the year that the, now, president started investigating setting up a toy library. “By the end of April, beginning of May, we had formed a committee and off we went,” Karen said. “We have been collecting good quality, pre-loved toys from the public and other toy libraries that have been generously donated. We have cleaned them, checked safety standards, made sure they worked and catalogued them and that has taken up a fair bit of time.”

The toy library will cater for children from 0-12, with the majority of the current catalogue suited to 0-6.

“But we do have books, puzzles and games that are suitable for six and up and we will continue to work on filling the gaps in what we have at the moment,” Karen said.

And the toy library committee are still happily accepting donations of toys. They have also secur4ed a grant from Toy Libraries Australia to also help fill in some of those gaps.

The September 9 Opening

Day will run from 9am to 12noon with activities and games being run for the children as well as the opportunity to sign on as a Limestone Coast Toy Library membership.

There will be a free sausage sizzle as well as other onsite catering including a coffee van and icecream.

From September 10

FROM HIS GARDEN & MINE SELENA SMITH EXHIBITION GALLERY 54 PENOLA

Until mid-September

Australian artist Margaret Worth, on Friday at 6pm. The Earth and Ether exhibition presents a retrospective showcase of over five decades of Margaret Worth’s artistic output. With loans from institutions and personal collections around Australia, this will be the first time these works have been shown together. The exhibition demonstrates the breadth of Margaret’s practice, her mastery of creating a feeling, her special tie to regional and remote South Australia, and her continuous search for the best means available to carry an idea.

Moving from an academic background of music, physics, maths and psychology studies, Margaret (pictured above - photo by Catherine Truman) found art to be the mechanism that bonded her beliefs and offered a pathway to explore her innate curiosity and courage. In the 1960’s, Margaret swapped disciplines and moved to Adelaide to study at the South Australian School of Art, which she describes as ‘an exciting period of change’.

“I realised that art school was the place I needed to be,” Margaret said. “When I changed my studies in mathematics and science to art, I immediately knew I was in the right place.”

Margaret travelled to New York with her then husband and established artist Syd Bell in 1969. While the relationship ended in 1971, Margaret stayed in America to study at the New York School of Visual Arts, before winning a scholarship to Columbia University.

Upon returning to Australia as a single mother, Margaret faced

collaboration, working in planning and designing public spaces. Her pioneer work in these fields has gained her greater recognition and led to many awards.

The exhibition is made possible with the assistance of the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia. Earth and Ether also includes the production of a short documentary and a catalogue, both designed and produced in-house by The Riddoch Arts & Cultural Centre.

Team leader exhibitions and collections Chris Clements said to undertake a retrospective of this breadth, depth and significance was a huge milestone for our gallery.

“We are very proud to be able to bring it all together here in Mount Gambier,” Chris said. “This has only been made possible with Margaret’s generosity and the dedicated work of our team here at the Riddoch.”

Margaret Worth: Earth and Ether opens at the Riddoch Arts & Cultural Centre on Friday at 6pm, with a floor talk with Margaret Worth and guest curator Eleanor Schiccitano on Saturday at 11am. RSVP to riddoch@mountgambier. sa.gov.au or phone (08)8721 2563 during opening hours.

The Riddoch Arts & Cultural Centre is open from 10am to 5pm weekdays and 10am to 2pm weekends and most public holidays. Entry is free.

TIME TO SOW SEEDS

Many plants with large seeds, such as Peas, Beans and Sweet Corn, are best sown directly where the plants are to grow. Plants with small seeds, such as Broccoli and Cabbage, should be sown into punnets or small pots and the seedlings later transplanted into their final position. Seed packets will indicate whether direct sowing or growing seedlings is best.

South East shooters shine at State Titles

Monarto hosted championships see plenty of titles returning to this region

The South Australian Sporting Clays Championships were held recently at Rocky Gully Sporting Clays at Monarto, South Australia.

The 150 target event held over two days saw nearly 100 competitors nominate for the event. It proved to be a very successful event for the 21 travelling sporting clay shooters from the South East.

Reigning champion Jeremy

Kent held a two target lead over the field after day one of competition, however Gavin Dyson (pictured below left) came back strongly on the Sunday morning to finish on 139/150, two targets ahead of Kent, to claim the State championship.

Kent (pictured below centre) had to be content with runner up and take out AA Grade.

Finishing third overall with a

score of 136/150, Declan Wright (pictured below with trophy) claimed the Junior title by a large margin. Ron Rhook finished fifth overall scoring 133/150 and took out the Veterans title.

Michael Gates (pictured below far right) had a very successful weekend as he claimed the C Grade title and also took out the Handicap High Gun for the weekend.

Leigh Dunn and Chris Wright managed to finish second and third in the Senior category.

Peter Klieve finished runner up in the Masters category.

Sub Juniors Jack Dyson and Noah VonStanke-Dowie finished second and third

Time to get hunting

Get ready for an incredible event, guaranteeing plenty of fun, creativity, and community spirit as United Way Glenelg proudly launches the “Imagination Library Scavenger Hunt” for September.

Marking a decade of success, the Scavenger Hunt celebrates the delivery of books to children in the Glenelg Shire through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Utilising the GooseChase mobile app, the Scavenger Hunt will inspire teams to venture and explore their community in a fun and interactive way!

Co-opted United Way Glenelg board member, and event organiser Sarah Tolliday said the Scavenger Hunt will be a great way for everyone in the community, regardless of age, to get involved.

“Community members, friends, families, and work colleagues, can join this all-ages team scavenger hunt event using their smartphones with exciting challenges or missions dropping each week,” Mrs Tolliday said.

“The Scavenger Hunt promises plenty of entertainment. From photo quests to lip-syncing video recordings, and location hunts to brain teasers – every mission will test your wit, creativity, and community spirit. Earn points for each task completed and climb the real-time leaderboard for a chance to win fabulous prizes along the way.”

Local ceramist Angela Ryks has crafted a Dolly Parton vase, valued at $150 on what promises to be the ultimate corporate prize, awarded to the victorious team, with extra bonus mission prizes up for grabs each week.

“By participating in the “Imagination Library Scavenger Hunt,” you’ll not only have a blast, but you’ll also play a crucial role in enhancing education and learning opportunities for children in our community,” Mrs Tolliday said.

“Imagination Library Scavenger Hunt” is proudly supported by Portland Aluminium who share our passion for education and community development. United Way are grateful for their partnership in making this event extraordinary!

The Scavenger Hunt kicks off on Friday 2023 and concludes Sunday, October 1. This event will provide lots of fun for families and school groups across the school holidays and offer rivalry for local businesses who join and compete against one another.

To join the “Imagination Library Scavenger Hunt” grab some mates, work colleagues, family and download the GooseChase iOS or Android app, log into the app by signing up for an account or play as a guest and use the code 19RD9X to join. Start by creating a fun team name and capturing a light-hearted team photo, all worth points!

Dolly Parton Imagination Library provides FREE, ageappropriate books to children from birth to their fifth birthday. By fostering literacy and imagination at an early age, we’re empowering our young ones to dream big and reach for the stars!

Portland Aluminium has steadfastly supported the Imagination Library in the Glenelg Shire since its inception in 2013, now in its tenth year. Close to 44,000 books have found their way into the homes of local children, enhancing their literary journeys.

For more information about the “Imagination Library Scavenger Hunt,” follow United Way Glenelg socials or contact United Way Glenelg Executive Officer Nicole Carr on 0410 513 305.

TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE: Co-opted Board Member Sarah Tollard is looking forward to the Scavenger Hunt challenge!

Precise driving from Fitzgerald earns victory

Tough ladies competition at the Lucindale Country Club

Fine weather prevailed for the 18 golf ladies who played the 3rd & final round of Bricey’s SE Collision Repairs Par competition at the Lucindale Golf Club.

The members of the club would like to thank Leon for his continued loyal support of the Lucindale Country Club, and are all very grateful.

It was also the final round of the Olympic Golf Game which was instigated this year after the suggestion from an enterprising member.

It’s a fun and novel competition comprising of two specific rounds in each of the Olympic Stroke, Stableford and Par games during the golf season.

The best score from one of the rounds in each event is accumulated to discern the Olympic Gold and Silver winners.

It was great to see Annie Haynes back at the club after her various flights overseas and the Kimberley area.

The ladies were also thrilled to welcome Daniel Flint from Wangolina who offered a wonderful wine flight tasting post golf.

Huge congratulations to Cheryl Fitzgerald, A Grade Winner with fantastic score of 5 up and she was NTP on the 16th with her precision drive resulting in a par.

A Grade runner up was the in

form Nicole Hocking who finished 2 up, Nicole also was NTP on the 3rd hole.

B Grade winner was Kylie Grundy who played incredibly well with 3 up and runner up was Petrina Smith on 1 down, she also was B Grade NTP winner on the 16th scoring a par. Fionna McInnes was NTP on the 12th and finished with a birdie.

Thank you to Rachel Smith, Jacki Baker and Meg Watson who represented Lucindale at the recently held Royal Adelaide Golf Club Rose Bowl competition, they had a wonderful day.

Ten other Lucindale ladies enjoyed themselves at the Naracoorte Open Day last week. Well done Wendy Johnson who was C Grade runner up with 37 points, Rosie Legoe B Grade nett runner up on 75 and Nicole Hocking who won the A Grade Longest Drive with her first hit of the day.

The members look forward to hosting the ever popular SE Ladies Ambrose Championship on Thursday, September 14 and the following day is The Scramble incorporating the Yakka Challenge – busy but fun times yet again at Lucindale.

Finals time in SECBL

Minor round action finished up last week

Last Wednesday, Round 15, the curtain came down on the minor round of the 2023 SECBL Winter season. The highlight of the night was the awesome support of the Naracoorte basketball community to the staging of the SECBL men’s game between Bulldogs White and league leader Millicent Saints on the Kings’ home court. This response is likely to trigger the idea of playing SECBL games in other regional centres in the coming summer season.

Saints men and women are dual minor premiers. All roads will therefore lead to Millicent next Wednesday where the top two teams of each competition will contest the major semi finals in which hosts Saints meet Bulldogs.

ROUND 15 RESULTS.

MEN

The game between Saints and Bulldogs White, the highlight of the round, was a big winner in two respects; firstly, for league leader Saints and secondly, for local basketball. A crowd of around 100 spectators flocked to the Naracoorte Basketball stadium to witness this final round of the 2023 Winter SECBL Season. Saints’ Mules, Bowden and Haggett took a grip on the outcome after a close and competitive first half.

Mules continues to light up the score board in recent weeks while local player Matt Black displayed his exceptional skills resulting in a personal tally of 28 points.

After a somewhat rough start to

the season, Cougars continued to improve and finished the season on a high, a result of their exciting win against Roos. Margins at the first three breaks was just one or two points and then stretched to six on the final siren. Promising Cougars junior, Ollie Pohlner had a night out, bagging 26 points including six threes. Toby deWit has been the key player for Cougars this season.

Pinehurst pairs for ladies

The popular game of a Pinehurst Pairs was held last Wednesday at the Mount Gambier Golf Club, kindly sponsored by Lorraine Stratford. Forty-twolLadies participated in the event.

Weather conditions varied with rain, sunshine and a very cold wind thus making good scoring difficult overall.

Fortunately, the computer did the calculation of 7/8ths of the combined Handicaps making it easier to determine the Handicaps

With 88 off the stick, having a Handicap of 13.50, Andrea Pegler and Bernie Jennings were the winning duo with a Nett 74.5. The couple played a very consistent game with a split of 43/45 off the stick = 88, including 5 Pars on their scorecard.

Second placing went to MaxineMcGregor and Yvonne Shirley with a combined Handicap of 24.38. They too played very consistently with their split for the 2 Nines being 51/49 off the stick = 100 equating to a Nett 75.62.

Coming in third placing was the combination of Helen McIntyre and Captain, Jan Shanahan ,who had a Handicap of 15.00. Together they had 91 off the stick giving them a Nett 76. The couple had a great Back Nine with 44, however, the 7th Hole, Par 5 on the Front Nine spoilt their score. They registered 4 Pars for the day.

Seven pairs received balls for their efforts and went to Faye Mainwaring and Di Norman Nett 76.13 down to Carol Smith and Bev Pedlar Nett 81.12.

Nearest the Pin on the 8th Par, 3 Hole was won by sisters - Deb Sheather and Susan Ryan. A reminder to all interested that the Mount Gambier Golf Club Open Day will be held on Friday, September 22, with a shotgun start. Players are expected to arrive at 9am for a 9.30am start. A Grade will be a Stroke round and B,C and D Grade will be a stableford. All are very welcome and please phone the Club on (08)8725 7716 to enter.

On September 6, there will be another Ppairs event in the form of a Stableford Aggregate , generously sponsored by Heather Barry.

SEPTEMBER 2 RESULTS

Nineteen golfing ladies teed off last Saturday in beautiful golfing weather with Yvonne Shirley (Handicap 30) winning the day on a count-back with 104-30-74 Nett. Yvonne carded three pars for the day and if not for the hard 14th Par 4 Hole she would have played under her handicap.

Losing the countback was second placegetter Helen McIntyre (Handicap 22) who had a great front nine with 44 off the stick, but came undone on the hard back nine with 53 off the stick. Helen started the Back Nine slowly but came home very nicely after the 14th Hole. She recorded four pars on her card.

The Pro Shot on the Par 3, 8th Hole was won by Helen Gregory. Eight balls were handed out to Leanne Hunt Nett 75 down to Helen Gregory Nett 81.

Battle for finals heats up

Close encounters in round six table tennis action

Round 6 of Mount Gambier

Table Tennis Club’s Winter season saw many close encounters across all grades as the battle for finals spots begins to heat up.

Both A Grade matches were considerably one-sided, firstly with Leigh Barry leading the Free Ballers to a comfortable victory over Sirinat Sweet’s Wobblies. After Sweet started strongly, accounting for Free Baller Ward Freeman in three games, Barry took care of Aravind Bablu just as easily.

a slender 6-5 win.

Meanwhile in the other B1 encounter, Johnny McBain and Nathan Schubert both posted clean sheets as McHallebert cruised past Cameron Beal’s We Was ‘Ere with an 8-3 rout.

Both B2 matches were close affairs, Allan Withers’ Jams narrowly staving off the Willies despite an unblemished singles night by Will Parker, the Jams prevailing 6-5.

5 games, all in favour of the Army.

Angus Billing started sluggishly in his battle with Rawlings, dropping the first game comfortably.

The trend continued early on until the Ballers broke clear late in the night thanks to the unwavering Barry, supported well by Freeman and Justin Hutchesson. Sweet’s seesawing 5-game victory over Hutchesson was arguably the highlight of the match, the Wobblies star eventually clinching the decider 17 points to 15. Ultimately though the Hutchesson’s Free Ballers had the last laugh, running away with a 7-4 victory.

The second A Grade clash was even more lopsided, the Three Stooges reduced to two, up against the Top Three who also became two. Stooges player Kevin Patzel was the star of the night, this time outshining teammate Travis Sweet. Patzel kept his singles sheet clean as the Stooges romped to a 4-1 victory. The only positive on an otherwise gloomy night for the Top Three was Felix Owusu’s stunning boilover victory over Sweet.

David Harris-Jones led the Net Ninjas from the front as they locked horns with Mark Bachmann’s I’ll Be Bach in their B1 battle. HarrisJones kept his singles sheet clean as the two teams remained even throughout the early stages, but a late surge of four consecutive victories for I’ll Be Bach gave them

The second B2 clash also came down to the wire, the end result not decided until the final rubber between The Richards player Kylie Boston and The Falcons’ Joel Schafer. Schafer won convincingly in the end, giving his Falcons team a 6-5 overall victory.

Spin Kraft started promisingly in their C Grade match against Bellissimo, young rising start John Malicdem overcoming a 2-1 deficit to defeat Anneleise Holtz in 5 thrilling games.

Malicdem’s team mate Mark Devaney then extended Spin Kraft’s advantage with victory over Falcons newcomer Kobi Gilbertson. Pier Varraso kickstarted Bellissimo’s night with a win over Heather McGregor, teams then going toeto-toe for much of the remainder of the match. Varraso’s victory over Malicdem clinched victory for Bellissimo, meaning Devaney’s win over Holtz in the final rubber was of mere consolation, Bellissimo claiming a 6-5 win.

The second C Grade match of the night delivered a much more decisive outcome, Doug Megaw and Jarrah Schafer continuing their strong form for JAD’s Army as they comprehensively accounted for Tracey Rawlings’ Beware B Nice.

The first three singles rubbers of the night all went the distance to

He fought back in the second, Rawlings having to sweat to the very end to claim a 16-14 win. At 2 games down and with his back firmly on the canvas, Billing gritted his teeth and drew on his remarkable determination, clawing his way back to claim the third game and then carry his momentum through the fourth, setting up an unlikely deciding fifth.

After Billing started strongly, Rawlings pegged the lead back and the two combatants traded blows and astonishing rallies, team mates cheering from the sidelines. With the scores locked at 10 points apiece, neither player was able to seize the advantage as the pressure mounted, causing unforced errors on both sides of the net. Finally, at 13-12 in Billing’s favour, the players engaged in yet another brilliant rally, trying to push each other from side to side until Rawlings had Billing stretched wide and wrong footed. The Beware B Nice player had the whole table to put the ball away, but pushed it long over the end, Billing releasing a thunderous scream as his teammates cheered and clapped his 14-12 victory. Overall, JAD’s Army went on to claim an 8-3 win. 3-rubber winners:

• A Grade: Kevin Patzel (Three Stooges); Leigh Barry (Free Ballers).

• B1 Grade: David Harris-Jones (Net Ninjas); Johnny McBain, Nathan Schubert (McHallebert)

• B2 Grade: Joel Schafer (Falcons); Will Parker (Willies)

Reinhoehl committment

Popular Pioneer returning in 2024

Alexandra Park transformation complete

Greatnews for the OneFortyOne Pioneers, with 188cm American Haliegh Reinoehl returning to Mount Gambier for the 2024 NBL1 South season. Reinoehl will be returning to the Pioneers for her third season.

Twenty-five-year-old Reinoehl has now played 44 games in the NBL1 competition as a Pioneer, averaging 13.16 points and 6.68 rebounds per game, proving herself to be a vital member of the team.

Reinoehl was thrilled to sign on for the 2024 NBL1 season.

“I just love being part of Coach Sutton’s program,” Reinoehl said. “He is a major reason I keep coming back. I also believe we have a great group of girls, and I really enjoy playing with them.”

Head coach Matt Sutton is thrilled to have Reinoehl returning

to the Pioneers women’s program for 2024. “Having Haliegh return to our program for a third season is big for our group; she was simply a warrior for us last season,” Sutton said. “She plays basketball the right way and sets a great example for work rate and attention to detail for the rest of our group.

“She took a big step forward in her performance, and we expect her to do the same next season. I am extremely happy to have her for season 2024.”

Reinoehl has been a fan favourite during her two years in Mount Gambier due to her unwavering commitment to the team and competitive nature on the court, so Pioneers fans will be ecstatic to have her back as a OneFortyOne Pioneer for another season.

The final step of the transformation for one of Portland’s most popular sport and recreation venues is now complete, with the official unveiling of the new-look Alexandra Park facilities.

Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora, Glenelg Shire councillors and other dignitaries were on-site late last month at West Portland to open the stateof-the-art facilities to local user groups and community members.

The $7.3 million project has seen a complete overhaul for the venue, with the previous facilities knocked down to make way for a new multi-purpose pavilion, lighting, car parking upgrades, accessibility enhancements, kitchen and changeroom facilities.

These upgrades follow on from earlier upgrades of new netball courts, offering a complete refresh for the key sporting and recreation venue.

Martin said the project has been a long time coming after years of advocacy and would support growth for several community groups.

“This venue plays host to Westerns Football Netball Club, Gorae Portland Cricket Club, Portland Tigers Junior Football Club and Portland BMX Club, as well as Kyeema Support Services and the Portland Bay School - there are hundreds of people who use this precinct each week,” he said.

“In fact, there is already an exciting event on the cards which will see hundreds, if not thousands, of people using this new facility. Kyeema Support Services are hosting the Tri State games in 2024 and 2025, which will see athletes converge right here at Alexandra Park to compete.

“We know that securing this event would not have been

Campbell & Stewart win

Last week in rather cold conditions, 28 went out to play 20 ends of bowls at the Millicent Bowls Club. Players were reminded of the Scudds/Earl Shield to be played at the Mount Gambier RSL Club on September 17 and requested all intending pennant players to please place their names on the sheet in the clubroom.

The winning pair for this week with a score of 33+23 were Mary Campbell and Kym Stewart winning $28.00 each. Second place, with a score of 32+14 went to David Reichelt and Andre Reinders winning the $5.00 bar voucher each. Other winning teams were, Terry Barnes, Steve Carnellor 32+8. Chris Earl, Iain Campbell 32+2. Lyn Scudds, Neil Whelan 30+7. Jan Buhlmann, Derrick Lindh 30+2 and Ian Michell, Peter Varcoe 29+3.

facility, and we are excited to see what further opportunities and large-scale events are on the horizon as a result of these upgrades.”

Cr Martin thanked Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora and delegates from Sport and Recreation Victoria who were on-site for the unveiling for their substantial funding support.

“We thank the State Government for their investment and helping to realise this project,” he said.

“Their support and financial contribution has been crucial, and our Glenelg Shire community will reap the benefits for decades to come.”

The Alexandra Park upgrades are collaboratively funded through Sport and Recreation Victoria, the Federal Government and Glenelg Shire Council.

Back to back victories for Myers at Blue Lake

It was another hard day on the fairways at the Blue Lake Golf Club last Wednesday due in part to the long course set-up for the August Monthly Medal sponsored by Bev Pascoe and also the 3rd round of the Scotty’s Loader Services Mt Gambier President’s Trophy. It was pleasing to see the numbers swelling with the return of those who have been chasing the warmer climate. Once again the results in the stroke competition were indicative of the scores recorded and pars were hard to find.

In Division One it was Helen Myers to come up trumps backing up her previous week’s win. Signing for 91/21/70 from splits of 46/45 Myers had pars on the 5th and 14th par three holes. Josie Ashby 97/24/73 was the runner up with splits of 48/49 and able to boast having a respectable four pars on the 5th, 9th, 14th and 15th holes.

It was unfortunate her scorecard showed triple bogeys on the 12th and 17th holes relegating her to 2nd place. Third on the podium was Cherryl Hill 101/25/76, splits of 50/51 included pars on the 5th and 16th par threes.

Division Two winner Dianne Allen 119/38/81 with splits of 62/57 was pleased to be back in the winner’s

circle coming back from recent knee surgery. Runner up was Bev Pascoe 116/34/82, splits of 60/56 with a par on the 14th and third prize winner was Rose Case signing for 123/40/83.

Nearest to the pin 2nd shot winner in Division One on the par three 2nd was Cherryl Hill. The pro shot winner was Sue Agars. Least putts winners were Rosemary Martland 26 and Pascoe 30 with ferret prizes won by Martland 6th, Pascoe and Lee-Anne Medhurst 11th and Geraldine Scott 13th.

This week is the July rescheduled monthly medal and 2nd round of the President’s Trophy.

AUGUST 26 RESULTS

The 3rd round of the Carlin & Gazzard Car Spa Winter Trophy was played in stroke format and with the course set to its maximum length along with some strategically placed pins it was a challenge to the 15 women.

Rosemary Martland was only one of two to score under 100 off the stick. Martland had 95/18/77 with splits of 47/48 and included pars on the 5th and 17th, mixed with a few too many bogeys and double bogeys, but good enough to take the win. Geraldine Scott 105/27/78 was runner up, and 3rd place went to Dianne Perryman 101/22/79 after a countback from Ronda Edwards 95/16/79.

Agnew & McKenzie get the wins

In cold, windy and drizzly rain we had 25 women play a stroke round for the Monthly Medal, putting competition and Fosters Foodland voucher.

A mention of Karen Panagopoulos having her first eagle must be made. The tee shot on the dogleg par four 15th left about 110 metres to the pin, then a 7 iron ran nice and true straight into the hole.

Clifford & Stewart combine for win

Late last month the Millicent Bowls Club ran their fortnightly Sunday Social Bowls afternoon with 26 players taking part in the game of 2-4-2. Because of the numbers, 1 rink was made up of a triple, where the lead and second play 3 bowls straight and the skipper playing 2 bowls per end. The full competition was played over 16 ends.

The winning team for the day went to Mary Clifford and Kym Stewart finishing with a score of 34+29, runners up went to Jan Buhlmann and Wayne Ross with a score of 30+14. Other winning teams were, Chris Earl, Carl

Schapel 20+8. Denis Clifford, Jim Campbell 29+7. A triple of Ian Michell, Brian Goode and Andre Reinders 29+1 and Joy Warren, Sarah Ross 28+1.

A sausage sizzle was enjoyed after the game expertly cooked by Glen Schapel, who is leaving the club to live in sunny Queensland within the next couple of weeks.
