ALDINGA BAY RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

Dear Reader,

Another year has come and gone and we have reached that busy

time of year again.

Our new Wine Coast Ward councillors have been announced and

congratulation to the three re-elected: Don Chapman, Gail Kilby

and Wayne Olsen. Welcome also to Hazel Wainright who is newly

elected. ABRA looks forward to working with these people in the next few years. You will find a letter from Don Chapman in Letters

To The Editor on p. 4.

The Esplanade cliff-top pathway construction is continuing at a

steady pace, At the time of writing they are working on the section

at Snapper Point. It is a pity the council is again spending heaps of

our rate money putting in infrastructure that is not optimised for the

use to which it is supposedly designed. Despite a strong message

they received during the consultation process to put the path as

near as practical to the cliff-face to retain the views that make it

such a popular walking and cycling venue, they are only putting it

there when they are skirting around the car parks or where there is no room to put it elsewhere. Where there is plenty of space

between the roadway and the fence they are laying the path closer

to the road, not near the cliff top. Like many of their BMX track

style footpaths installed adjacent to the roadway so that every

driveway invert creates a dip and rise, many users will probably

ignore this new path and continue walking along the cliff top. (An

email pointing this out to the person responsible at council did not

even warrant a reply it seems.) At least the new pathway won’t be

blocked part of the week by bins like their footpaths!

As this is the last issue for the year I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our advertisers and contributors for their contributions

during the past year. On behalf of ABRA I wish you all a happy

Christmas and a safe and fulfilling new year in 2015.

Remember January 26th the Australia Day breakfast at Symonds

Reserve in your diaries. It commences at 8am.

As you will see below, our December general meeting is a

pre-Christmas meeting with the opportunity to chat afterwards over

a ‘cuppa & bikkie.’

Several of our new Councillors have indicated they will be there to

meet & discuss issues with people.

I hope you enjoy the issue.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Green waste and cardboard / paper - Environmental

Protection Authority (EPA) legislation bans all councils

state wide from sending these materials to landfill.

As of 1 September 2012 computers and televisions will

also be part of this ban. Therefore these materials can no

longer be accepted as part of our hard waste collection.

The collection point is the Southern Waste Resource

Management on Bakewell Road Seaford Rise (the

Council dump off South Road N of the bridge). There is no cost. All you need to do is take your Ewaste

to the appropriate tip and they will direct you to the

Ewaste section.

You leave your stuff near two containers and exit the tip depositing the card they issue you with. This card will

take you off their computer.

This can be done any day of the week.

Fluorescent light tubes (this includes Compact

Fluorescent lights now widely being used to replace

incandescent globes) contain mercury.

If disposed of in landfill (through your garbage bin) this

can leach into the soil and water table with disastrous

results.

They should be disposed of properly through recycling.

Do not put them in your rubbish bin. Collection points

are available at Mitre 10 stores and the Willunga

Environment Centre.

Dear Editor

When I attended ABRA’s AGM in early October this

year I was delighted that those residents who attended had

so many questions to ask in relation to Council projects in the Aldinga area. As a result I was able to ask questions

of Administration on behalf of those residents and I’m

fairly sure that most of those questions have been

addressed including a pedestrian access path to Aldinga Beach Road having been improved, signage and their

locations at Aldinga boat ramp changed, bus shelter

location to be changed on Pridham Blvd to suit most commuters, raising Council awareness the poor road

surface quality of Old Coach Road and improvements to

night time visibility of Quinliven Road upgrades.

What became clear to me as a result of that meeting is

that as a Wine Coast ward councillor I need to attend your

meetings on a much more regular basis and that our

residents need to know that their ward councillors are elected to advocate on behalf of any resident who asks

them. So, if you don’t mind publishing this letter in your

next newsletter I will be happy to represent any resident who asks.

It has now been confirmed by the Electoral Commission

that I will again be one of your ward councillors for the next four years so I look forward to a much closer

working relationship with your Committee and Aldinga

residents.

Thanks to all those who supported me.

Regards

ALDINGA COMMUNITY HELPS

LIONS LADIES CELEBRATE OPENING The Willunga Lions Ladies Auxiliary opened the

doors of their newest addition to their facility on November 1st. Residents of the Aldinga community had

been invited to a ribbon cutting opening ceremony with a

sausage sizzle to follow. The opening of the new facility which is a large shed at the rear of the Boutique Op Shop

on Butterworth Road has been a joint operation between

the Willunga Lions Ladies, Willunga & Districts Lions Club and the Australian Lions Foundation. This building is

to be used as a sorting, storage and distribution centre.

Many charities benefit from goods packed and distributed

from here. The Lions Ladies President Margaret Dorton

welcomed everyone and introduced Lion Bill Binns who

gave a brief history of the development of the Boutique and of the activities and monies raised in the 41 years since it

started operations. A written history of the

Boutique is available to view in the shop.

The ribbon cutting was performed by Rhonda Foreman and Jaci Bishop in front of a large crowd of Boutique

customers and Lions members. Rhonda and Jaci have been

members of the Ladies Auxiliary since the formation of the Willunga Lions Club in 1969. A sausage

sizzle provided by Willunga Lions Club members was

enjoyed by all. The Christmas Toy sale was on as well and many took advantage of the great variety of toys, dolls,

books and games on offer.

The Boutique raised and distributed $100,000 worth

of goods and money to many charities in 2013 – 2014. It has supported a large number of Lions Foundations

which support many Australian and International Lions

projects. Though Lions are known worldwide for their

successful initiatives in world vision health, child health,

and disaster relief funding, Lions service is as diverse as our members. Lions volunteer for many different kinds of

projects – caring for the environment, feeding the hungry

and aiding seniors and the disabled.

If you are interested in finding more information on Willunga Lions or the Lions Ladies Auxiliary please visit

the website www.willungalions.com.au

FRANCIS HART - although a baker by trade,

established himself as a butcher in Aldinga.

He then became proprietor of the Aldinga

Temperance Hotel.

The Hotel was a popular resort far travellers

and tourists to the district, situated about one

mile from the beach of Port Willunga. Mr.

Hart was a member of the District Council.

He married Mary Bird of Aldinga, who died

ROBERT FISH ATKINSON, general storekeeper and auctioneer, Willunga,

is the fourth son of the late Mr. Robert Atkinson, a pioneer of the district, who

arrived in the Province in 1839 by the sailing ship "Singapore," and was identi

fied with Willunga until the time of his death, in 1862. The subject of this

memoir was born in 1857, and received his education at Brickland House,

Willunga. Having concluded his scholastic studies he became engaged in

farming occupations, and subsequently was associated with the firm of Messrs.

H. A. and W. Goode, of Port Pirie, as bookkeeper for about twenty years. In

1897 Mr. Atkinson returned to Willunga and joined his brother in a general

storekeeping business. After continuing in this connection for twelve months he purchased his partner's interest, and has since carried on as sole proprietor,

obtaining his fair share of the trade of the district. In 1901 he established an

auctioneering business in conjunction with his other avocations, and has con-

ducted this branch of his business with success. Since returning to Willunga

the gentleman under review has served the ratepayers as a member of the local

District Council for five years, during four of which he occupied the chair. He

has acted as committeeman in connection with the agricultural shows in the

neighbourhood, is a supporter of racing functions, and generally manifests a

keen interest in all local public affairs. In 1883 he married Susan, fifth daugh-

ter of the late Mr. James Whitelaw, of Port Pirie, and his family consists of

three sons and three daughters. Mr. John Atkinson, the eldest son, undertakes

the management of the bakery branch of the business. (From ‘Cyclopedia of

Aldinga Beach CFS

Aldinga Beach C.F.S Cadets

After many months of careful planning the Aldinga

Beach Cadets (13x Cadets 7xCadet leaders) attended their annual camp at West Beach In September. A flat tyre

almost put a spanner in the works, but thanks to the

wonderful M & D Auto, disaster was averted and we

were on our way. On arrival the cadets were tasked with setting up their camp. After some excellent team work,

tents were up and everyone was ready for a well earned

dinner. With thanks to Ellis meats, dinner was some great tasting hamburgers....definitely no left overs, they were a

real hit!

Saturday morning; after checking out the play equipment at West Beach it was off to Noarlunga for 3 games of

Lazer Skirmish. After some mighty battles, sneak attacks

and a whole lot of fun, the battle between cadets and

cadet leaders was called a draw and it was time to head to Haigh's chocolate Factory. After a tour of the factory,

learning lots about the chocolate making process, and

tasting some samples (yum!) it was lunchtime. Lunch at Glover Park on South terrace was pretty relaxed with

subway sandwiches, and everyone (including Cadet

leaders!) checking out the play equipment. For the

afternoon it was back to West Beach to enjoy a swim in the pool, a great way to spend a hot day! Dinner that night

was at Charlies Diner at Brighton. We all ate like kings

enjoying the wide variety of foods on offer. Sunday Morning dawned with some very rough weather,

which made packing up the tents pretty interesting!

With plenty of great teamwork the cadets helped each other to pack up camp, and then it was on to the next ad-

venture. Our next stop was the Maritime Museum in Port

Adelaide, where we all learned a bit more about our mari-

time past. The Star of Greece was featured quite a bit and it was interesting learn more about where we live. Lunch

was fish and chips and then it was time to head home. All

in all a great camp was had by all.

Some of the comments from cadets who attended camp

--camp was camptastic--really good camp--no more

jumping pillows--yer it was alright jumping pillow was exquisite--Charlies Diner food was nice--Haigh’s choco-

late is expensive but delicious-- Chocolate was nice food

was nice--really enjoyed Lazer tag--camp was good be-

cause I got to play soccer--the mirrors in the bathroom were amazing--it was alright, it was ok, it was amazing

food was awesome--it was awesomely awesome. Tanya Steele & Liz Pryor

At the Invitation of President of the Aldinga Bay Bowl-

ing Club John Clissitt, 64 keen bowlers from Clubs in

and around the southern areas converged on Aldinga Bay Bowling Club’s greens early in November to play an

Open Fours Tournament in what were perfect sunny

weather conditions. Teams playing were from The Great Southern Bowling

Association, Beaumont, Somerton Park, Ascot Park,

Happy Valley, Reynella, Myponga, McLaren Vale,

McLaren Flat, Willunga, Yankalilla and Aldinga. Ron Colgan’s Happy Valley team were the eventual winners.

Ron pictured below with his team being presented with

cash prizes by Cassandra, representing sponsor for the day, Alfred James Funeral Homes and with Patron of

ABBC, Ken Coxall.

Regular Pennant Competition bowlers received a much welcomed surprise recently when Sandy Mount from

Raine and Horne presented Aldinga Beach Bowling Club

with a set of sponsored brand new bowling mats and jacks, to be used exclusively for weekly pennant compe-

titions.

Sandy is Principal of Raine and Horne Real Estate Fran-chise, McLaren Vale and he is keen to support the ABBC

bowling club and its members as

much as he can during the season.

Sixteen Night Owls bowling teams are now keenly contesting the ‘under

lights’ summer competition.

Sandy is Principal of Raine and Horne Real Estate Franchise,

McLaren Vale and he is keen to sup-

port the ABBC bowling club and its members as much as he can during

the season. Sixteen Night Owls

bowling teams are now keenly contesting the ‘under

lights’ summer competition. Some say it’s the delicious sausage sizzle they have be-

fore the game at Nightowls that gives them ‘the edge’.

We’re not so sure about that, but in any case many locals are enjoying coming to Aldinga Bay Bowling Club on

Tues, Wed, Thurs and Sat each week to play both social

and competitive bowls ‘On The Green!’ Come Join Us Soon.

PATRICK

A Change of Plans

As a motor bike enthusiast Patrick competed in cross

country enduros, road trials, dirt track racing and owned a string of Yamahas, Hondas and a Bultaco.

At 22 years of age he had a plan - a plan that was totally

disrupted, by an unexpected encounter. He had decided to go all-out after wealth accumulation, and started by sub-

letting his house. A bad experience with troublesome ten-

ants disillusioned him somewhat but opened him up for a rethink and a profound change of direction.

His next tenant, Brian, a young teacher from the Southern

Vales Christian school, impressed him just by his life

style. There was something about him and the friends who visited him. And within a few months Patrick

amazed everyone by wanting to get baptised and then by

fully committing his life to Christ.

Out went the bikes and the stress of pursuing security

through materialism (his rat race) and in came a peaceful

and fulfilling life-style with a quiet joy, marriage and suc-cessful children (now adults). And all his needs have been

met - with challenges; but without the striving.

For Patrick, now 55 years old, Christmas has a special meaning. He says he made a good trade (his own plan for

that of the One he gave his life to) which he says comes

from accepting the Giver - and not just the gifts - with the

bonus of eternal life.

Patrick's church (aldingabaybaptist.org.au, 85565570) is

hosting their 10th Christmas Carols: Symonds Reserve 14

December- carnival 4pm; carols 7:30pm. Major event!

Heat stroke Summer is on us and heatstroke can be a major risk to your

pet’s health.

Dogs normally pant to lose heat; but if they cannot cool

themselves down sufficiently, heatstroke will result when the body temperature rises above 41 degrees celsius.

What causes heatstroke? One of the most common causes is being left inside a

parked car on a warm day - the temperature inside the car

can double in minutes; even if the window is left down.

Over-exercising on hot days - the amount of exercise should be moderated depending on temperature, and timed

for early morning or late afternoon once it has cooled.

Other risk factors are obesity, and thick-coated breeds.

What are the signs? Dogs will initially be agitated, panting, drooling, and barking or whining. As dehydration occurs and body

temperature increases they go into shock, where gum

colour is bright red and heart rate increases. Panting will

become excessive and breathing laboured and distressed. The dog may vomit or have diarrhoea. Eventually

circulatory collapse will occur; the gums will appear blue,

followed by convulsions or unconsciousness, then death.

What is the treatment? It is vital that these dogs are treated as soon as possible to cool them down - this means contacting your veterinarian

as soon as possible, and providing some initial

management at home.

1) Your dog should be hosed down or placed in a tap water bath, if possible with an electric fan blowing on them.

NEVER use ice baths as this will cause retention of heat

within the dog’s body. Ensure airways are not blocked. You can apply ice to the belly, armpits and groin region.

2) Transport your dog to a vet, wrapped in soaking towels

and icepacks.

3) The vet may need to place your dog on a fluid drip, perform other emergency procedures or give medications

to treat the shock and other disorders caused by heatstroke.

Organ failure (such as kidney failure or brain damage) is a major and possibly fatal complication of severe heatstroke.

Prevention is easy! Avoid leaving dogs in parked cars,

don’t over-exercise on warm days, and ensure your dog has access to a shaded area and cool water.

NUMBER PATTERNS. A FIGURE CURIOSITY

Here is a novel arrangement of figures which ex-plains itself : 0 x 9 plus 1 = 1 1 x 9 “ 2 = 11 12 x 9 “ 3 = 111 123 x 9 “ 4 = 1,111 1234 x 9 “ 5 = 11,111 12345 x 9 “ 6 = 111,111 123456 x 9 “ 7 = 1, 111,111 1234567 x 9 “ 8 = 11, 111,111 12345678 x 9 “ 9 = 111, 111,111 123456789 x 9 “ 10 = 1,111, 111,111 A specimen of the eccentricities of numbers:-

1 x 8 plus 1 = 9

12 x 8 " 2 = 98 123 x 8 " 3 = 987 1234 x 8 " 4 = 9876 12345 x 8 " 5 = 98765 123456 x 8 " 6 = 987654 1234567 x 8 " 7 = 9876543 12345678 x 8 " 8 = 98765432 123456789 x 8 " 9 = 987654321

CENTURY MAKING

The following examples show how the sum of 100 can be

represented by using the nine digits in their correct order, plus arithmetical signs:

(a) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + (8 x 9) = 100.

(b) 12+ 3 - 4+ 5+ 67+ 8+ 9, = 100.

(c) 123 + 45 - 67 + 8 - 9 = 100.

The next two examples show the nine digits in their

reverse order. You will notice that (d) is (a) reversed:

(d) (9x8)+ 7+ 6+ 5+ 4+ 3+2+ 1 = 100. (e) 98 - 76+ 54+ 3+ 21 = 100.

A method of using the nine digits, each once only, but in any order, so that by simple addition they sum to exactly 100, is:

(f) 15 + 36 + 47 = 98 + 2 = 100.

The result of multiplying the figures 142857 in var-ied order, but in similar sequence, by 7 and dividing by 9 is very interesting: 142857 x 7 = 999999 ÷ 9 = 111111 285714 x 7 = 1999998 ÷ 9 = 222222 428571 x 7 = 2999997 ÷ 9 = 333333 571428 x 7 = 3999996 ÷ 9 = 444444 714285 x 7 = 4999995 ÷ 9 = 555555 857142 x 7 = 5999994 ÷ 9 = 666666

Member of Community and Neighbourhood Houses and Centres Asso-

St Ann’s Anglican Church, Aldinga is gearing up for the summer with the introduction of a new Family Service

on the first Sunday of each month at 9am, which looks

like fun for all the family.

Launched on 2nd November, the first service proved to be a great success with interactive fun for children and some

challenging thinking for adults as well.

Rev’d Nick Shutt, who is currently looking after the Southern Vales Pastoral District whilst on a break from

his normal duties as a parish priest in Dartmoor, Devon

UK said, “It has been great to be involved in this new ven-

ture as the whole congregation is supporting this

exciting new development. It is going to be a fun

way to worship God. I am only sorry that I have to go home to a Dartmoor winter while things hot

up here. Do come along and be part of this new

initiative. All are welcome.”

The next service will be on 7th December at 9am. Further information contact Pat Roper 8386 2470.

Earlier this term, staff from

Catholic Primary Schools in the

Southern Hills region joined to work

with Professor Paul Clarke from the

UK – Co Director and Founder of the Pop Up Foundation, on the topic of

building sustainable communities.

The aim of the MAKING A DIF-

FERENCE PROJECT (MAD) is to

nurture a programme that aligns and

connects local primary schools in

sustainable education with regional

and global processes.

Angus from Miss Balacco’s year 4/5

learning community explains how his class is contributing to the

MAD project – “We are growing zucchini and sunflower seeds in

recycled yoghurt containers to help

the community and the school. We

have two containers, we are taking

one home to grow and one to grow

at school. We are creating more

nature and making our world even

more beautiful.”

Hannah: “I think planting the sun-

flowers and the zucchinis is a really

good idea because if we do a little thing we will make a difference

because lots of big things will grow.

We want to spread awareness to the community by showing them

if we all planted one seed we can help the world.”

Holli: “Just before Christmas when our zucchinis and sunflowers

have grown we are going to walk

down to the local shopping centre

and give them to the community.

We hope to make their day by

giving them a gift.”

The students of Miss Balacco’s

learning community have em-

braced this project and are nurtur-

ing their seedlings each day in the

hope to ‘make a difference’.

Galilee MAD Project ‘Making a difference’

If we all do something little it can make a big difference!

Can you hold your breath underwater for 7 minutes? Diving with full breathing apparatus is one thing, but year 12

student Tom Campbell decided to ‘take the plunge’ this year when

he chose free-diving as his year 12 project entitled:

“The Ocean One Breath at a Time: Entering the Amazing World of Free

Diving.” Tom has been mentored by local Adelaide diver, Brent Quilliam,

currently a National and World class free-diving competitor.

Free-diving relies on the diver’s ability to hold his or her breath

until resurfacing without the aid of breathing apparatus.

Tom explains “Extreme sports are all about adrenaline but free-

diving requires complete calm. You have to listen to your body

and recognise your own limits. You have to learn how to shut out the world and work with, rather than fight, your survival instincts.

It’s all in the mind!”

Tom recently placed 2nd in the “Fish Film Festival” with a short

documentary entitled “The Ocean One Breath at a Time”. Tom

shot his footage whilst free-diving and it is indicative of the ex-

traordinary opportunity a diver has to capture spectacular footage

whilst moving through the water in such an unobtrusive way.

Along with his year 12 class mates, Tom will be speaking about his project on Sunday 16 November in the Willunga Waldorf

School hall. Other student projects will also be presented on Sun-

day 15 November and Saturday 22 November.

Principal Registrar

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn

off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, 'Mummy, will you sleep with me tonight?'

The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. 'I can't dear,' she said. 'I have to sleep in Daddy's room.'

A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:

'You big sissy.' It was that time, during the Sunday morning service,

for the children's sermon.

All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as

she sat down, the minister leaned over and said, 'That is a

very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?'

The little girl replied, directly into the minister's clip-on mi-crophone, 'Yes, and my Mum says it's a bitch to iron.'
