Your Community News Local Business Profile: Willunga Hair Looking and feeling fabulous can be a simple appointment away. I caught up with the owner of Willunga Hair, Steven Nye whilst experiencing my own hair sensation to find out more about our local hair dressers. Steve, I know that you are a well known local but our readers would love to know a little more about you:
WILLUNGA HAIR
60 years young I married to my lovely wife Dianne and we have 2 grown up boys who are married with children of their own. I started my hairdressing career officially Feb 1969. Completed 5 years of apprenticeship including studies at Adelaide School of Hairdressing which is now called Tafe. I started in my first owner/operator salon in 1978 at Beach Road in Christies Beach, and then owned 2 more salons in Morphett Vale and McLaren Vale before starting Clippers Hair Design in Willunga. For the next 26 years I ran the salon and was involved in numerous community groups/Activities including Area coordinator for Willunga Rural Watch, President/Chairperson of Willunga Business and Tourism Association, and involvement at different levels with the Willunga Almond Blossom Festival just to mention a few. I love my community involvement and hope that I can continue for some time to come!! 4 years ago my wife and I purchased Willunga Hair Designs at 12 High Street and September last year, we amalgamated the 2 locations to number 12 High st and did a major revamp to have the salon as it is today.
The Team at Willunga Hair invites you to Experience the Difference in Hairdressing – Call for a consultation today on 8556 2262
We currently employ 3 senior operators and an apprentice, now nearly completed her second year. Our salon over the last 20 odd years has formed a strong relationship with the Noarlunga tafe college, and we often have students from tafe doing “on the job training” in the salon.
Can you tell me a little more about the products you use in your salon? Our Product Retail range is from NAK Hair. We use and recommend these products because they are Australian owned and made, and are Sodium Laurel sulfate and Parabeen FREE. The range is 96% organic with a Bio Marine base, with a fantastic selection of shampoos and conditioners and treatments as well as styling products. Our colour range is from Joico (Vero colour). We also sell a great range of ceramic based brushes

Your Community News organisation into something else – hopefully things less demanding. Tom started as secretary in 2008 and has served longer than any other current committee member. It all started fairly modestly (conventional secretarial duties) but soon included the overall coordination of the Willunga end of Stage 5 of the Tour Down Under – which for the most part has been the case ever since – and then expanded into website development, membership and the WBTA float in the Almond Blossom Festival parade. Such things took Tom into a more public role and it would be fair to say that Tom became the ‘face’ of WBTA, not only in Willunga but also in places that demanded some sort of representation from WBTA. And then came the Gazette in 2013. Tom accepted the challenge and with typical attention to detail, put his stamp on the new Willunga newspaper.
TOM LAING – A retrospective by Dave Greenslade With the AGM looming on the 25th of August, it’s an appropriate time I think to reflect on the
life of WBTA post Tom Laing who has announced that he will be ‘hanging up his boots’ come the AGM and will be looking to allocate the enormous time he has put in to the
Whether in digital form read or online or in hard copy, the Gazette quickly became an important link for the Willunga community. Significantly, when Tom decided that it was time to find someone else to edit the Gazette early this year, he found Helen Mouneimne thus enabling the tradition to continue – much to the relief (and gratitude) of everyone I think. So how do you replace
someone who has undertaken such a broad range of responsibilities over the years? Well the load must be spread – and it’s happening already, with current committee members volunteering to take up the challenge. It will, ironically, see the secretary’s role return to more conventional duties. So to Tom, a public thank you and I’m sure you carry the best wishes of the Willunga community with you – whatever ventures you pursue. And to Loraine Poole who will also step down at the AGM – a big thank you. Lorraine has been a ‘constant’ for the WBTA over the last four years – from the time she moved into the district and saw the need to find a way to contribute to the business and tourism future of the town. While Lorraine always contributed in practical ways to the activities of WBTA, (for example the WBTA float in the Almond Blossom Festival parade) it was her consistent presence at streetscape related meetings over the entire span of her time on the executive, that allowed at least one organisation in the town to monitor the progress of community consultation on the project. Lorraine outlasted several project managers and though despairing at times, will we hope, derive some

The Meaning of Life and The Circle of Life A cold winter night was warmed in the Show Hall recently as Mr Creosote waddled through the door, settled into a couple of seats and joined 140 other patrons to view Monty Python's Meaning of Life. A brisk and illuminating lecture on the Birds and the Bees by school master Ewan was followed by a community singalong, led by the Cinemallunga's own 'crack' barbershop quartet. Thanks for the cheeky finale' chaps! Film lovers certainly enjoyed the evening, applauding the imaginative costumes on show and marking Cinemallunga's third birthday in great style. The popcorn was swept away and the the seats straightened up in time for Cinemallunga's first ever Sunday matinee the following day. And what a show!

Your Community News retirement and having an asset to leave their children. ‘This proposal could see equity in family homes hollowed out over time, so that there’s little or nothing left for children to inherit, making it even harder for young people to get a foot on the property ladder and own their own home’. Some have likened the proposal to ‘strip mining’ the young in order to solve a budgetary problem. Concerns have also been raised about reverse mortgages rendering an increasing number of illness or dementiaaffected retirees unable to afford a nursing home, when it is most needed.
Forced Reverse Mortgages Threaten Australia’s Social Fabric First National Real Estate Nick van Vliet says a proposal to force pensioners into a national reverse mortgage scheme threatens to fundamentally change Australia’s social fabric and the relationship we have with the family home, potentially also leading to a collapse in house prices. To solve the problem of funding retirement pensions into the future, the Centre for Independent Studies has proposed Government incorporate the family home in a pension assets test and legislate for a default national reverse mortgage scheme, the income from which
would be counted in the income test. ‘Millions of Australians have worked hard to achieve home ownership. In fact, over 80 per cent of retirees own their own home and the vast majority have paid off their mortgage’ said First National Real Estate, Willunga principal, Nick van Vliet.
‘Ultimately, one has to ask what the incentive will be for young people to buy their own home and aim for financial independence, if Government then proposes to take that away in retirement’ said Nick van Vliet.
‘Along the way, these same retirees have paid income tax as well as significant amounts of Stamp Duty on property purchases, thereby helping Government fund community infrastructure and services that benefit everyone.
‘There’s also the question of who will have the money to buy a house if there is not some form of intergenerational wealth accumulation within families. If average Australians cannot afford to buy a home, a collapse in property values could follow, bringing with it a massive, long-term, negative impact on the economy and the end of the ethos of a fair go’.
Their reward is the security of being unencumbered in

GOLDSTEIN at FERNIES
Popular Adelaide based five piece band Goldstein will be performing at Fernies on Friday the 10th of July. Having recently released their new CD ‘Playing Dog’ the band have come back into familiar territory at Willunga as part of their country tour. The band song writer Adam Hooper, the lead voice behind the distinctive Aussie sound of Golds of Goldstein, has ben able to capture the essence of South Australian urban living, the stories, the experiences, the nostalgia – all in a contemporary mix of acoustic rock and folksy story telling – with lots of wry humour and quirky observations. Supporting Goldstein will be Jen Lush’s Cat Dog Bird – a four piece band from Adelaide showcasing Jen’s original music – also available on CD. It’s not often that two singer song writers of such high calibre are found on the same program. Please refer to the gig guide for more details. -------

Native vegetation benefits properties Trees For Life’s landholder ordering season is now open, offering low-cost native seedlings to help South Australian
Native shelterbelts provide a multitude of productivity and biodiversity benefits for farming industries. Productivity increases relate to all agricultural industry sectors, including the dairy, wool, meat, cropping, and horticultural industries. With strategic placement and well-defined objectives, they can have numerous potential benefits to farm productivity such as: * Protect livestock from cold or hot winds
*Provide habitat for wildlife and natural biological control agents *Help prevent salinity and soil erosion *Boundary shelter/windbreaks can reduce bio-security hazards to stock from neighbouring land (eg. prevent nose-tonose contact, weed movement control) *Provide posts, firewood, timber, fodder, honey, bushfoods, nuts, cork and various other products impacted by gully erosion. *Increase medium to long-term land values
*Shelterbelts placed above and as buffers along watercourses, reduce stream sedimentation and eutrophication, improve water quality, and reduce soil and nutrient run-off from paddocks. Interception of nutrients before entering water storages improves water quality for stock. *Stabilise soil surface; reduce waterlogging, also useful in non-arable areas such as those *Improved landscape amenity and aesthetics. *Potential fire protection; as localised wind speeds can be reduced.Species recommended by Trees For Life for native shelterbelts include Eucalyptus porosa (Mallee Box) and Eucalyptus socialis (Summer Red Mallee) which grow well in most regions.

Your Community News later folded. A year after the opening, membership had climbed to 15 with Dean continuing to play in the State team until 2005 followed by two years as the non-playing State captain/coach.
For the Love of Croquet The ever entrepreneurial Dean, a then member of the SA Interstate Croquet Team since 1990 and having won the Australian Open Singles in ’95, saw the potential – as well as not having to travel to Victor Harbor – and initiated the negotiations which subsequently led to the establishment of a “brand new croquet club in the South”. He wasn’t alone in his pursuits – with then Aldinga Bowling Club President Ron Stuart, backing the fledging new sports club with help applying for a grant to buy equipment and advertise for croquet players. Dean – who has just celebrated his 80th birthday along with wife, Nancy – recalls the opening day of 28th October, ending with nine players joining up immediately. For Dean, it was a period he served as both Club President and Coach – and unearthed the fact there had been a Croquet Club in Old Aldinga (all women) formed in 1932 which
For many years after that he served on various Croquet SA committees and was Vice President of the main body of the Aldinga Bay Bowling and Croquet Club for 2 years while Nancy was the Treasurer of the same for three years. Having brought the sport back to Aldinga, the community continued to benefit with the Club involved with State Schools Championships in Aussie Croquet and at Primary and Secondary school playoffs held at the sport’s State headquarters in Hutt Rd, city.
successfully hosting a trial rollout of Hammertime – a fun version of the sport which in 2014 was named SA Sporting Event of the Year. Think disco music, hip hop dancing, fine food and wine and a chance to try out a game known in some circles as “chess on grass” and originally part of the world renowned Wimbleton sports club!
15 years ago, Dean has found himself this year as President again. And it’s been a hectic year – the Club
The game started off well and both sides were competitive for the first ten minutes before the Magpies started to really dominate and they made the home side work extremely hard to convert and put scores on the board.
Hammertime at the Bay attracted hundreds of players – including local MP and Patron Chris Picton – with at least eight new players now under the coaching baton of Dean.
The end result does not reflect the dominance of the visitors in the middle of the game or the tenacity that Willunga displayed in the last term to reduce their losing margin to less than the first term gap.
For Dean Paterson, club founder, Club President (again), national champion, and husband of Nancy – the view from the Club’s two courts can only ever get better!
It was clear from the first contests that Magpies, Vick and Rugolo, were on fire and they did not stop attacking and working plays through for the entire game. The Demon mid fielders struggled to get the ball into their attacking zone. The entire Magpies team combined well and at the first break they had a lead of 25 points from double the scoring shots of their opponents and looked tight and fast.
Coaching was undertaken for hundreds of students at Yankalilla, Southern Vales, Aldinga, Willunga, Seaford, Wirreanda, Tatachilla and Woodcroft College campuses. For the national champion, it’s become a case in 2015 of what goes around comes around. Having been the driving force of founding the Aldinga Bay Croquet Club
and applied themselves in the final term to at least save some face.
Magpies Demolish Demons Goolwa-Pt Elliot gave Willunga a football lesson for three quarters of the game on Saturday in great conditions on a dry ground. But then the Demons took that lesson
The onslaughts continued from the start of the second quarter while the Demons struggled to set up goals and were restricted from running on. Beath was looking for opportunities but they were few and young star Ross did his best to repel attacks from the visitors. But Hicks and Fry were
12
Your Community News tenacious and supported their team’s efforts with gusto. The Magpies went into the rooms at half time with a well deserved extended margin of 46 points. The Magpies came out after the long break and continued their attack through Robertson and Berry but the Demons were starting to hold their own in a few spots. Boyd and Wakefield took opportunities to create attack but their team’s efforts were restricted to minor scores. Garrett and McDonald pushed the ball forward when they got it but Travis Griffen and Fiacchi were not letting go and both contributed to constant pressure on the Demons. Unfortunately for the Demons, who had more scoring shots in the quarter, the gap grew by another 7 points due to inaccuracy. By now the spectators would have been forgiven for thinking that this game was completely done and that Goolwa-Pt Elliot were going home with whatever the Demons coach said at the three quarter time break spurred his charges on and it was like another team had come out. A couple of minutes into the term, Lahiff and Hayes capitalised on opportunities to clear the ball and drive it forward, to the chagrin of the Magpies.
tightened and their forwards started to get clear, especially Garrett whose goal scoring suddenly became contagious. Magpies, Whiterod and Cuthbert kept the charge going for their team but the fast passing had dropped off and the Demons were now applying the pressure. This was a total reversal of form for both sides. The Demons kicked the highest quarter score for the game while the Magpies kicked the lowest and the home side actually reduced the margin from 53 to 23 points.
NEW BREAKFAST & LUNCH MENU’S AVAILABLE WITH NEW WINTER HOURS 44 High Street, Willunga SA 5172 T: 8556 2612
No doubt that the Magpies are Premiership contenders and with the talent they have in Vick, Fiacchi, Rugolo and a host of others and a scorer like Robertson who kicked seven in the game they will go a long way this season. The Demons need to do a lot of work to hold onto the spark that they had in that last term. ----
