    ALDINGA BAY RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

    Dear Reader,

    Australia Day Breakfast. Five committee members recently met with members of council staff to discuss this event.

    We have the unique situation here where people head down to the beach early on Australia Day to get a spot. For this reason ABRA decided in 2007 to finish the event at 10am instead of 11am, as is the case in other areas where this event is held. This has continued until this year, when council advertising indicated it would be 8am - 11am. By 10am we have usually run out of hot food and very few people turn up after that. On two occasions the breakfast has also coincided with the Tour Down Under, resulting in people leaving early to get a good vantage point

    at Snapper Point and along the Esplanade to watch that event. Despite our explanation of these factors the council is inflexible in having the event times standard across the city. The committee has decided to try continuing the event until 11am next January, provided we can cover the additional cost of hiring the entertainment for an extra hour. We will review the situation after that to see if we will continue hosting the event. Hand held flags were not supplied last year because of the cost factor. It is

    good to see that council will only buy Australian made flags. They are dearer than imported units however.

    Council Elections. Wine Coast Ward has a record 13 nominations for this election. Candidates are being given the opportunity to speak at our October general meeting. So come along and see what they have to offer.

    Infrastructure Developments. Those who travel that way will see that work has commenced at Port Willunga on the redesign to incorporate a paved, shared walking/bicycle path along the cliff top to the Morgan Street ramp. Due to the lack of space between the road and clifftop in places, this will necessitate some narrowing or re-alignment of the roadway. Quinliven Road too is scheduled to have the western end redeveloped to match the rest of the work done on that road. The area outside the Aldinga Beach R-7 School is scheduled to be done mainly during the holiday

    period. I note in the councils planning that the Snapper Point toilet is scheduled for construction this coming year. Like the rest of you I wont hold my breath! - Weve hard that before.

    Christmas Pageant. If your group or organisation wants to be part of the planned Christmas Pageant contact details are printed on the cover. Get aboard now.

    This issue: Advertising has increased enough to extend this issue to 48 pages, so hopefully there will be something of interest for most readers.

    Speaker: Local Council Candidates

    RIP It was sad to hear of the passing of Desi Moore recently.

    Desi was active in the Friends of Aldinga Scrub group

    and also a supporter of the local arts community.

    Our thoughts go out to Bob and their family and friends.

    Remember we dont have reporters so we rely mainly on contributions from community groups and organisations for our content. Some thing happening? Let us know.

    I hope you enjoy the issue.

    12 Rules For Life Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

    Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE

    you feel good about yourself.

    Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

    Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

    Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

    Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

    Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain

    forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

    Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have

    abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

    Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping

    you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time. Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

    Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

    Rule No. 12: Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic. Next time you're out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt in his mouth. That's what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for "expressing

    yourself" with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.

    Rule No. 13: You are not immortal. (See Rule No. 12.) If you are under the impression that living fast, dying

    young and leaving a beautiful corpse is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room tempera ture lately.

    Rule No. 14: Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's a bother, and life is depressing. But some day

    you'll realize how wonderful it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You're welcome.

    CANCER COUNCIL SAS RELAY FOR LIFEMcLAREN VALE

    OCTOBER 11 AND 12

    Go Kan Ryu Karate Do (GKR) have been so inspired by the cause and the idea of this event that they have decided

    to enter a team in the inaugural McLaren Vale Relay For

    Life this October 11 and 12. As word spread within the worldwide Karate club so did the passion. The club has

    now had so many of its members become involved it has

    had to start its 3rd team of up to 15 to cater for everyone.

    The event itself is to be held at the McLaren Vale Sport-

    ing Complex starting at 2pm on October 11. The partici-

    pants will walk or run around the oval for 19 hours straight

    overnight in a relay format passing the baton between the

    team members. This is to signify that Cancer does not sleep.

    There will be live music, local trader stalls, kids activi-

    ties, Martial Arts Demos and plenty of entertainment for everyone on the day. Part of the event will be a moving

    memorial ceremony and a celebration for Survivors and

    carers. It is going to be a most fulfilling experience and it is highly recommended to get on down and be a part of it.

    If you can get 10 15 people together that can walk and would like to be a part of this event please head to

    www.relayforlife.org.au and register your team in the

    McLaren Vale Relay today.

    If you would like to be a part of this fantastic event but

    cannot enter your own team we can put you in contact

    with some like minded people and you can join an exist-ing team.

    Donations can also be made on the website.

    Check out this you tube link

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGRqw7c8WFg

    and youll get a feel for the event.

    If you would like any further in-

    formation please contact Sean

    Hutton on 0413 906 305

    or via email [email protected]

    After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with

    the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; docu-

    ment their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the

    gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour. Here are some

    actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas'

    pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

    P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.

    P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.

    S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

    P: Something loose in cockpit.

    S: Something tightened in cockpit.

    P: Dead bugs on windshield.

    S: Live bugs on back-order.

    P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet

    per minute descent.

    S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

    P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.

    S: Evidence removed.

    P: DME volume unbelievably loud.

    S: DME volume set to more believable level.

    P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.

    S: That's what they're for.

    P: IFF inoperative.

    S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

    P: Suspected crack in windshield.

    S: Suspect you're right.

    P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

    P: Aircraft handles funny. S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be

    serious.

    P: Target radar hums.

    S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

    P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed.

    And the best one for last... P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds

    like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

    S: Took hammer away from midget

    NEW SLATE ROOF on WILLUNGA SHOW HALL The new slate roof on the Show Hall was, despite the

    inclement weather, completed in time for the recent

    Almond Blossom Festival in July. The Recreational Park Committee was the driving force

    for this project with financial support from the City of

    Onkaparinga. The original Willunga Slate roof had lasted 124 years.

    The new slate is from the "Bangor" region of Wales.

    A Brief History of the Hall The Hall is described as an imposing structure built of

    stone with brick facings and having a fine slate roof.

    Much of the material had been donated stone by

    Capt.T.Atkinson, slate by Mr T Martin and much volun-tary labour. The contractor was able to execute the work

    for a very low price(360 pounds).

    With the opening of the then Agricultural Hall in 1890 The Willunga Show gained a permanent home (the Agri-

    cultural & Horticultural Society had held Shows from as

    early as 1856 at various venues). The Hall(now called the Show Hall) was used for Shows,

    dances, picture shows, concerts and meetings. An Insti-

    tute Library was conducted in the back room from 1922.

    The front section was added in the early 1900's and the Sports and Social Club was added to the back in 1982.

    At the rear of the Hall is the Recreation Park,the land for

    which was purchased in 1885 from Mrs Pethick. Some of the old materials from the roof, very brittle old

    tiles (only 20 survived the lift off process), original hand

    made nails and Oregon batons along with photographs of

    the new technical process used in the re-roofing will be put together in an interpretive display at the SLATE

    MUSEUM at the Old Courthouse Museum.

    From Julie Taylor NTSA Willunga Branch

    Willunga Show Hall circa 1905 - Picture courtesy National Trust Willunga.

    Butterworth Mill was situated on the old Aldinga Road from Willunga (Now called Flour Mill Road).

    Its remains can still be seen there with the original Butterworths cottage on the other side of the road.

    Here is a fact about the 1500's. Most people got married in June because they took their

    yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by

    June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odour. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when get-

    ting married.

    Learn how to protect

    your local environment

    South Australia was once a biodiversity paradise featuring

    more than 3500 native plant species, 140 mammal species and

    460 bird species. Due to broadscale native vegetation clearance, up to 98 per

    cent of our native bushland has been lost in some areas and with it, many plant, animal and bird species.

    Trees For Lifes Bush For Life Program gives people from all walks of life the opportunity to help preserve what little we

    have left by learning how to restore and protect our States native vegetation through bush regeneration workshops.

    At the workshop, participants will learn:

    why the bush needs your help;

    the best strategies for restoring ecological processes;

    minimal disturbance techniques;

    how to work safely in the bush; how you can get involved as a Bush For Life volunteer

    Continuous learning opportunities are also provided through

    the program, ensuring participants discover the best techniques to get native plants regenerating and how to defeat invasive

    Aldinga Beach C.F.S

    We at Aldinga Beach C.F.S would like to thank the follow-

    ing businesses and people for the wonderful donations we

    have received this year for our fundraising activities.

    Aldinga Hardware - Lacey drive Aldinga Hotel

    Adelaide Bi-Planes

    AMC - Aldinga Mower and Cycles Dianne Stopp

    Elevator Music

    Hibiscus Hair Maries Crystal Cave Natruce - Old Coach Rd

    Old Vine Inn

    One Stop Pet Shop Poppys florist Port Willunga Tourist Park

    Supercheap Hobbies & Collectables

    We would also like to thank the Aldinga Beach Newsagent

    and Aldinga Beach Post office for selling the Entertain-

    ment books on our behalf

    The Rotary Club Lions Willunga & the womens Auxil-iary this year were very generous in their donation of a

    cheque to Aldinga Beach C.F.S

    Along with raffles, donations and the sale of entertainment

    books we also have collection tins located throughout

    several businesses we thank everyone who has donated

    their spare change into these collection tins this year.

    Without the support of our local community assisting us

    with donations of raffle prizes or the generous cash

    donations Aldinga Beach C.F.S would not have been able to fundraise as much as we have this year.

    Also just as importantly we thank you our local community

    in assisting us with fundraising activities.

    AUGUST CALL OUT STATISTICS.

    Eleven call outs were received in all during August.

    They consisted of: Road Crash Rescue / Motor Vehicle Accidents - 5

    Grass & Rubbish Fires - 1

    Structure Fires - 2 (domestic) Fixed / private alarms - 2

    Others - 1 (smoke sighting in scrub)

    But should rememberance prove to be a task - forget. May the hinges of our friendship never rust.

    The friendship of some people is like a shadow,

    Keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine,

    But deserting us the moment we enter the shade. Many waters cannot quench love.

    COURTESY OF MARTIN DUNSTAN In January, 1909, my father received the following

    quotations from a friend when living in NSW.

    In the parlour there were three, He, the parlour lamp and she,

    Two is company, so no doubt,

    That is why the lamp went out.

    The Tablespoons a clumbsy thing, A teaspoons far the neater, But of all the spoons I most enjoy,

    A sofarspoon's the sweeter. A stitch in time saves many a blush.

    Remember me is all I ask,

    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.

    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.

    Its nearly Christmas, dont panic! In fact it is some way off, but plans are in place to make the 2014 Willunga Christmas Tree Festival one to remember.

    A special feature this year will be the officially

    commissioned poster.

    This has been designed by artist Emily McAllan. The design features the street map of Willunga and icons of

    the past, present and future, our theme for 2014.

    The poster will be used widely for the festival. The framed original will be the prize offered for the peoples choice of the festival.

    Entries are now sought to submit a Christmas tree for the

    festival. Contact Jenny for an entry form and further information:

    08 85562758 or [email protected]

    Entries close November 14th.

    The 2014 Willunga Christmas Tree Festival is on the first

    weekend in advent.

    November 29th & 30th, 10am to 4pm @ Bethany Hall, Wil-lunga.

    Opening by appointment for bus tours and school groups

    Counting Collections

    In our Year 6/7 homeroom we have been exploring estimating and counting strate-

    gies in Mathematics. We conducted various investigations, using collections of all different sizes and shapes.

    Declan completed the 1 minute chal-lenge. He counted his

    collection in groups of 10.

    Noah counted the amount of items on the top and multiplied by the amount on the side to estimate how many buttons were in the collec-tion.

    This group divided the counters up and stacked into groups. They worked out their own number of counters by multiplying then added their amounts together.

    Then we experimented with some very large collections! Here is a collection of lentils, after a group counted 30ml of lentils, then meas-ured out how many groups of 30ml they had. This gave them their final result.

    Shubham used the scales to weigh the popcorn collection. He counted out a small amount, weighed them and then multiplied by the total volume of popcorn in the jar.

    Much laughter came from the women bowlers of Aldinga

    Bay Lawn Bowling Club when they recently enjoyed a re-

    laxing foot spa and treatment, courtesy of local Arbonne

    Skin Care Area Manager Leonie Hicks - in preparation for

    the upcoming competitive bowling season.

    Feet were scrubbed, massaged and moisturized with great

    enthusiasm, and all agreed it was a great way to prepare

    their feet ready for long hours ahead - on the green!

    This is only one of the many social activities available for

    the women bowlers, both social and pennant players. which

    include morning teas, lunches and practice matches.

    The Aldinga Bay Womens pennant side was successfully re-formed only three years ago, after nearly 10 years with-

    out any women bowlers, and the side has reached finals in

    Division Three in both of the last two seasons in the Great

    Southern Womens Bowling Association. This year several new bowlers have joined the side and the club is looking

    forward to continuing success on the green.

    Other activities are also on the agenda to get the women

    players ready for the Pennant season which commences in

    mid- October - including a coaching clinic and practice

    matches against Yankalilla and McLaren Vale. The local lawn bowling club on Port Road Aldinga, caters

    for men and women of all ages and levels of expertise, and

    people are encouraged to come along to try bowls or sim-ply enjoy a drink and chat in the friendly atmosphere of the

    Clubrooms.

    The very popular and friendly competition of Night Owls

    bowls played under lights is also commencing soon, with

    President John Clissitt calling for players to register their

    teams early - there are a limited number of rinks available. Call

    John on 0417820596 for more information. These games start

    at 7pm from mid October.

    This year for the very first time, Twilight social bowls will

    also be introduced at Aldinga Bay Bowling Club on Wednes-

    day evenings, during the months of daylight savings.

    Players are invited to come along and enjoy the warm balmy

    summer Wednesday evenings from around 6pm. Wearing

    casual attire, and with either flat soled shoes or bare feet, enjoy

    a friendly game with BBQ tea available from 6pm for only $3

    per person.

    MILDRED

    "If I can - at 94 - then maybe you can too!"

    How do you write a story about a nearly-95-year-old:

    who was a circus acrobat, walked up and down stairs on her hands, rode standing on horses and elephants, got RE

    from a chaplin next to the lions' cage, is given to speaking

    in rhymes, writes and recites poety, worked on Lancaster

    bomber maintenance in UK during WWII, went through a season of her life that she cannot for the life of her under-

    stand how she made it, has a constellation of health issues

    that would make most folk feel miserable; but puts it all aside to do what she can for others - is active in the

    Church of Christ and has been given a long service award

    by the local nursing home where she's been cheering up

    the "old people" for the last six years?

    Well, with that record-breaking single sentence the story

    is already told - all but what makes Mildred tick.

    She used to pray to a name, a word. The word was "god". That's all it was, a word. And she had faith. But it was

    faith in faith i.e., faith in "something working out some-how". That was when things were tough. But then as she was washing up one morning Mildred saw the word

    "F.A.I.T.H" appear above the sink and she watched

    amazed as it was replaced by the word "G.O.D."

    With that came the understanding that there really was a

    creator, he had always been with her, she had never been

    alone, he loved her and had a real purpose for her life.

    It is this that keeps her diary full (I had to book up days in

    advance), underlies her purpose, her sharp wit, great

    sense of humour, and caring and uplifting conversation.

    Mildred is self-sacrificing and an inspiration to many.

    "Then maybe we can too" (at least if we're under 94)!

    4 facts about flea allergy dermatitis

    Your pet cant stop itching, but why? Heres a look at flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), a condition your pet could be

    suffering from, even if youve taken all the standard precautions against fleas.

    1. FAD is common. Flea allergy dermatitis accounts for about 50% of all cat

    and dog skin conditions reported to vets by clients.

    Watch for scratching around the tail base, rear, and groin in dogs, and scratching or crusty bumps around your cats neck. Cats with FAD also tend to lick constantly, often to

    the point of exposing bare skin.

    2. FAD can affect your pet even if youve administered a topical or oral parasite preventive.

    Many of the more popular parasite preventives just do not work well either not a 100% kill effect on the fleas, or for too short a period. Fleas need to be killed quickly once a flea has jumped onto your pet, theyll bite and have a feed of blood and then theyll start laying eggs within two days of that bite. They lay 50 eggs a day, which drop off into the

    environment like the carpet, where they can hatch out into

    a dormant stage and survive for up to 9 months before jumping onto their victim.

    We strongly recommend Comfortis tablets, for both cats and dogs, when fleas are a problem. This is super effective

    and kills 100% of the fleas on your pet within 2 hours,

    sustaining this effect for a full month before the next tablet

    is due. This is a vet-strength product and far superior to supermarket products. Due to the long survival time of the

    young fleas in the environment, you should treat your pet

    for at least 12 consecutive months to fully eliminate the life cycle from your home. You can also treat the environment.

    3. Fleas arent always present with FAD. You can search and search and come up empty. Fleas are

    fast, and some pets have thick coats even a thorough search can overlook them.

    4. Your other pets wont necessarily itch. Not all pets are affected with FAD. So even if youve administered parasite preventives to all of your pets and they all spend the same amount of time outdoors, one

    might spend all day scratching his itchy coat while the

    other remains unaffected.

    Contact us if you have a flea problem or a pet with a

    skin disorder

    Welcome to our third article in a five part series giving you

    tips on how we can support our community to better mental

    health!

    Eating disorders... There are many theories about how eating disorders develop.

    Most research suggests that its a complex mix of cultural, social, family, personality, and physical factors (including

    genetics). In most cases, a person with an eating disorder has a

    negative self-perception.

    What to look for? A person experiencing an eating disorder may:

    have rigid patterns or attitudes around food and eating, such as avoiding meals, excessive fasting or calorie counting, or

    labelling food as good or bad show evidence of binge eating, vomiting or laxative use have excessive or obsessive exercise patterns avoid questions about weight, or seem sensitive to comments or criticism about exercise, food, body shape or weight

    withdraw from social gatherings and activities show physical symptoms such as weight loss or fluctuation; fainting; sensitivity to the cold; changes in or loss of menstrual

    patterns for females; swelling round the cheeks or jaws; or

    damage to teeth from vomiting

    express extreme body dissatisfaction or low self-esteem, or have distorted body image

    seem depressed, anxious or irritable.

    Next steps... If you think you may have an eating disorder, its important to talk to an adult you trust, such as your parents, teachers or

    family GP.

    One of the best ways to help a friend if you think they may

    have an eating disorder is to encourage them to talk to

    someone who specialises in this area. Detecting eating disorders requires specialised training that some general

    practitioners (GP) or family doctors may not have. You could

    support your friend to speak to a GP first, to obtain a referral to

    see a specialist.

    When speaking with your friend, choose a comfortable, quiet

    and private place where you can talk alone and raise your

    concerns. Its best to talk at a time when youre both feeling calm and you can approach the conversation sensitively.

    However, bear in mind that your friend may still respond

    negatively or defensively.

    time to meet with one of our team members.If you would like

    to use our service and talk about your circumstances, call us

    Continued from p16.

    The tide of life is sometimes very rough, but each storm

    ridden through makes us a better captain of our souls.

    No one grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideas.

    Age stiffens the joints but softens the heart. No one grows

    old by living - only by losing interest in living.

    In retirement the tomorrow you worried about is better than the yesterday. Some hearts like evening primroses,

    open more beautifully in the shadows of life.

    AGING: If walking is good for your health, the postman would be

    immortal.

    A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is

    still fat. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while a

    tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives

    for 150 years. And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.

    Just grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to remember the ones I do, and the

    eyesight to tell the difference

    Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:

    - I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

    - My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes.
