Local Boys Compete in
SAPSASA Summer Hub Tennis
On Thursday, 13 February the SAPSASA Summer Hub Tennis
competition was held at Balaklava. There were four teams competing
including two teams from Clare, one team from Burra and one from
Balaklava. Local boys, Darcy and Kobi Collins-Dodd represented
their school in the Balaklava team. There were six players on each
male and female team and each player had to participate in three
matches for the day which included both doubles and singles games
for each match. Darcy and Kobi played really well, winning some
games and losing others. Considering it was a long and hot day out
on the courts, they did remarkably well. The final result saw the
Clare 2 team win overall, closely followed by the Clare 1 team.
Balaklava team came third followed by the Burra team. All the
children played really well and demonstrated awesome sportsmanship
by the way they supported, congratulated and encouraged each other.
Well done to all!
Thank You Thank you to Marg Hean for volunteering to open the
library on the 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month, 12 noon to 1.30pm.
Volunteers are not easy to come by these days so Marg’s assistance
is greatly appreciated by the Newsletter committee which runs the
library/ book sales. Thanks again Marg.
Did you know… Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1867. After a
newspaper mistakenly published his obituary—which called him a
“merchant of death”— he was so upset that he founded the Nobel
Prizes to restore his reputation.
Forget Newton and Galileo. Here are the real laws of nature:
Law of Biomechanics - The severity of the
itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a
wrong number, you never get a busy signal
and someone always answers.
Law of Probability -The probability of being
watched is directly proportional to the
stupidity of your act.

Day!!
Regards and Best Wishes Marg
Port Wakefield loses a valuable volunteer
How sad to hear that one of our very valuable residents who has,
over the years, contributed much to Port Wakefield with her
volunteer services, is moving on. Groups that benefited from
Maureen’s volunteering include: Port Wakefield Community Management
Committee, Port Wakefield Community Newsletter committee, St
Vincent De Paul Catholic Church, Clementina Corner Cottage Craft
shop. Maureen has moved to Balaklava after her home in Port
Wakefield was acquired by the government for the new highway
development. Thank you Maureen for all you contributed to our town
and best wishes in your new home.
Tucker Time Gone!!
