PERFECT NIGHT FOR JAMESTOWN 2019 LIONS’ CAROLS

IN THE PARK CONCERTSunday December 15th was the perfect night for the Lions’ Carols in the Park concert. Concert goers sat back comfortably in their deck chairs, or on a rug on the lawn with their families in our picturesque Memorial Park.

At 8pm, Helen Lehmann, the concert MC, welcomed everyone and the concert began. Peter Hopkins was first to perform and delighted the crowd with his wonderful renditions of O Holy Night and Mary’s Boy Child. What a treat that was, a perfect way to start the concert.

Mary, Joseph and Jesus joined the concert and made their way to the nativity setting. Baby Jesus was very content all night, much to the relief of Mary and Joseph (Jessica and Jeremy Wilksch). The nativity scene gradually grew over time, with the arrival of the angels, shepherds and wise men. Anne Cooper and Elise Morgan had them looking their best on this special night.

Peter Porch was the next guest artist. He accompanied himself on guitar while singing two beautiful songs Mary did you know? and Maker of Stars. The choir and band joined in for the second song, which was written by a friend of Peter’s.

Later during the evening the audience heard musical items from guest artists Debbie Blyth, Fern Henwood, Ella Hebberman and the Jamestown Sing Australia Choir. All had wonderful messages about Christmas, and all were well received by the audience. We are so lucky to have such wonderfully talented people in our town and district, who are prepared to share their gifts.

There are many people to thank for this wonderful concert. Firstly, the members of the Jamestown Lions’ Club for making it happen …... for setting up, decorating and dismantling the performing area, manning the gates, cooking the food, supplying the drinks, financing the event and doing the paperwork; Yvonne and Keith Woidt and Phillip Leesong for setting up and doing the sound for the evening for the concert; The guest artists, Phillip Leesong, the choir, band and conductor for the beautiful music during the evening; Rev. Own Roberts for the Christmas message; Helen Lehmann for being our eloquent MC; Elise Morgan and Anne Cooper for preparing the nativity people; Everyone who participated in the nativity or dressed up as an Australian animal; The Whyte Yarcowie Vaudeville Troupe for lending us the lights for the night, and Damien Carpenter, Jack Napper

and John Staker for setting them up and pulling them down; Kelly Toyota for sponsoring the event by printing the programs. This is a big expense and is greatly appreciated; The Northern Areas Council for having the park in such beautiful condition for our concert; The Jamestown Journal for advertising the concert and promoting it; Anyone I may have overlooked!

AND…. thank you to the audience who came. We all worked well as a team. Well done, Jamestown!

TRAVEL SOCIETY EXHIBITIONPhotographs taken anywhere in the world which capture a moment in time. A moment when a beautiful landscape took your breath away or a moment when you captured a priceless expression on someone’s face. A click that captures a cultural tradition or a ritual, an ordinary moment on a random street; faces, landscapes, wildlife – anything that you have captured which is now the only memory of a fleeting moment. The Exhibition at the Belalie Art Gallery will include about two thirds of the works in this collection.

An exclusive display of the finalists and winners of the 2018 TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER SOCIETY international photographic competition, a community built around photographers with a combination of a love for travel and a love for photography.

A photo of Maggie Clark from Jamestown

- pictured right when she competed in

the school sports 12 & under girls National

Championships in Nov 19, in which SA

finished 3rd. After this Maggie and 5 of

her team mates were added to SACAs u15

traing squad. There was no expectations

of making the side but they were surprised

and excited when Maggie and 2 of her 12

& Under team mates were selected in the

Under15’s team to play in the National

Championships in Canberra from 26th Feb

to 3rd of March.

Maggie would like to thank St James School

and Jamestown Community School for their

co-operation and support they have given

during this time. Also thanks to the Rocky

River Junior Cricket Association, Bundaleer

and Bel Man cricket clubs, West Torrens

District Cricket Club and the Mid North

Zone Junior Cricket, especially James Lang

and Scooter Smith for their involvement in

promoting Girls Cricket.

A huge thanks to the Committee and

coaches of the Jamestown Junior Cricket

Club for their support and help over her

cricket career.

Lastly and most importantly to Ryan

Simpson for his one on one coaching

during the off season, without this Maggie

would not be playing at the level of cricket

that she is.

The Jamestown Journal and Jamestown

community wish Maggie every success for

her future career in Cricket.

During the school holidays the Black children from Caltowie competed

in the State Under 18 Championship held at Lockley’s Bowling Club from

January 20th - 24th.

The event was incredibly successful with Nathan walking away with Gold

in all 3 disciplines, Adam finishing with a silver for Singles and Triples, and a

Bronze in Pairs and Tyson winning a silver for Triples with his brother Adam.

A week before the State Championships the Black’s competed at the State

vs Vic Test Series at McLaren Vale Bowling Club. Nathan represented in

the Adult State side and Adam in the Under 18’s.

Nathan competed in the Australian Open on the Gold Coast in June 2019

and walked away with a Silver in the Under 18’s. An outstanding effort.

Nathan still has the State Pairs and Triples to come. We wish him all the

best for success in these events.

Mum and Dad are super proud and we think they have every right to

be. Well done boys, you’ve not only been successful in your sporting

endeavours but you are paving the way and encouraging younger

participation in the sport.

“FROM OUR PAST”Compiled by Jamestown Local History Group

120 Years Ago:“The Agriculturist & Review”, February 1900

Town Progress: The town of Jamestown does not progress in leaps and bounds but there are evidences of its stability shown in the erection of new business premises and the starting of new undertakings. At present commodious and substantial offices are being built on the site of the old black-smith shop recently occupied by Mr. Newman. There are four lofty rooms, with strong room already finished. They are being built by Mr. James Moyle and are to be occupied by Messrs. Fleming, Ashton & Boucaut and Elder, Smith & Co., Ltd.

Rabbit Pests: The rabbit pest engages a good proportion of the discussion amongst the farmers and graziers of the district just now. There is no doubt that the plague is becoming so serious that united and vigorous efforts must be made, are long to cope with the evil. A great many have evidently come in from back country and they are poor and weak, but there are numbers bred in the district of more robust constitution that have no travelling stock brand on them that are adding daily to the population and sending their families out to find fresh fields and pastures new. The dry weather is the best time to destroy them and we would urge upon all interested a simultaneous attack to lesson what bids fair to become an intolerable plague.

100 Years Ago:“The Agriculturist & Review”, February 1920

Cows in the Town: Complaints have been registered here with regard to cows which have been straying about and destroying gardens. This is a most annoying, and at the same time an unnecessary nuisance. Cows are most useful animals in their proper place, but the streets and residents’ gardens do not come in that category. We feel sure that when the Corporation become cognisant of this nuisance they will quickly take steps to counteract it.

Spurious Coins: Mr. Raymond, manager of the Jamestown Branch of the National Bank, very kindly brought under our notice a really good imitation of a two shilling piece. It did not pass muster with the bank and some-one was the loser. It will therefore be wise of residents to look carefully at these coins, particularly during race week. They can be detected by the ring and softness of the metal, also the milling round the edge is not so regular on the genuine coin.

Jamestown High School: Our readers will probably be interested to hear that the Jamestown High School has been made a separate institution this year. Previously it was attached to the public school and the Head Teacher of the public school was also the Head Teacher of the High School. This is now changed and Mr. Potter is in sole charge of the High School, which is in every way separate from the Primary School.

75 Years Ago:“The Agriculturist & Review”, February 1945

Guaranteed Wheat Price: The shrinkage of wheat stocks held in Australia, caused by the wide spread drought of 1944, has caused the Federal Government to suspend the operation of control of area sown and the differential price formally paid by The Australian Wheat Board. For the season 1945/46 all f.a.q. will be paid for at the rate of 4/3 per bushel and there will be no restriction on the area that can be sown.

Jamestown Hospital: After some discussion it was decided that favourable consideration be given to the suggestion that the Jamestown Brass Band be invited to play at the Hospital some Sunday after the Cooker is installed; that there be an inspection of the kitchen, after which an appeal be launched. Messrs J.J. Kerin, E.L. Orchard and R.B. Phillips were appointed a sub committee to make preliminary suggestions and report at the next meeting.

Unlucky Carrier: While unloading furniture at the railway Mr Bradock experienced a most unfortunate happening. A piano had been taken from a railway truck and placed on the trolley and while other goods were being loaded on the vehicle, the piano unbalanced onto the horses’ back and the animal started to bolt. The driver endeavoured to pull the horse up, but the railway fence was too near. The horse and trolley crashed through it and the piano was very badly smashed. Mr. Bradock was uninjured and the horse and trolley were not damaged much. But the piano—Well, that’s another story!

50 Years Ago:

“The Northern Review”, February 1970

Hotel Breakers: Thieves who broke into the Railway Hotel, Jamestown and the Caltowie Hotel over the weekend, escaped with a total of over $570. In both instances the breakins occurred either late on Saturday night or early Sunday morning, and each case, entry was gained by forcing a window and the thieves apparently let themselves out by the front door. At the Railway Hotel, the money stolen amounted to about $360. It was one of the few times money had been left in the till overnight. About $180 was taken from the Caltowie Hotel, also from the front bar and from a cash bag in the office. No cigarettes, liquor or other goods were taken from either hotel.

New Sale Yards: The first stock market in the new yards near the new railway station at Jamestown was held last Thursday. The yards are jointly owned by Dalgety NZL, Elders GM and Southern Farmers who say the area will eventually be more convenient than the old ones. Thursday’s market was conducted by Dalgety’s and on Monday, Southern Farmers conducted their first market in the yards. The next market will be Elders-GM on March 6.

25 Years Ago:

“The Jamestown Journal”, February 1995

100 Year of Women’s Suffrage: At 11 a.m. on December 16, 1994, Mrs. Lorraine Chalmers, President of the Jamestown Branch of C.W.A., presented a Flag honouring 100 years of Women’s Suffrage in South Australia to Paul McInerney at the Jamestown District Council Chambers. The flag was flown from that time until the Christmas break. Those present to witness the ceremony, which was being held at the same time all over South Australia, included women of Jamestown, who, over the years, have contributed many hours to a variety of organisations in the Town & District. Before presenting the flag, Mrs. Chalmers spoke on how women won their chance to vote.

Citizen of the Year: Mrs. Barb Parri has been announced as the recipient of the 1995 Jamestown Citizen of the Year Award. Mayor Mick Boston in announcing the Award said that Mrs Parri had made an immense contribution to the history of Jamestown and is much deserving of this Community Award. Born in Orroroo, Barb shifted to Jamestown when her father, Herb. purchased a business in Ayr Street. Educated at Jamestown, Barb was actively involved in sporting clubs and was also a fine example of witness in the Methodist/Uniting Church. Barb gained employment in administration at Walker & Sons from 1936 to 1942 when she enlisted in the W.A.A.F. in 1942 as a wireless telegraphist and returned to Walkers in 1946. In 1949 she married Raph Parri and supported him in his civic and local interests. Some of Barb’s interests were:- Memorial Hall Kitchen Committee, Hospital Auxiliary, Jamestown Centenary Committee, perhaps her greatest interest was local history, she enthusiastically collected data on local families and meticulously catalogued them with her high standard of excellence. Well done Barb Parri, Citizen of the Year.

NEWS & VIEWS

It has been a relatively quiet time for our residents

lately with our focus on managing their safety with the

heat and the smoke.

Our residents have enjoyed regular visits from Pat

Turner who plays the most beautiful organ music,

and they were recently taken on a bus tour to Laura.

Reverend Ted drove the bus and residents enjoyed

the scenic touring and could see the huge red dust

storm in the distance to the north.

Thank you to everyone who has recently joined our

team as volunteers. The increase in volunteers has

enabled us to create a walking group with residents

and increase our outdoor activities. We are always

keen to welcome even more volunteers. If you would

like to find out more about volunteering, please drop

in to Belalie Lodge or call us on 8664 2200.

“You are an IRONMAN” The words used for only those who complete a Race

of 3.8k Swim /180k Bike/42.2k Run. I did this on 1st December 2019. Here’s my day...

The alarm went off at 3:30am. I arrived at dark o’clock to pump up my bike tires and put my liquid nutrition in place. I did a quick run warm up- yes a warm up to get the body ready for the long day. I squeezed into my wet suit - it’s very tight, and followed others down to the beach just as dawn was breaking. Music was playing, the crowd gathering. We all waited on the sand wondering what the day would bring. I re ran the advise in my head from my coach Aaron Buchan. Then the cannons went off. 2x2 we ran under the ironman arch to enter the crystal blue waters surrounding the Bustleton jetty. I had a great swim, drafting where I could. I felt strong, and the swim went really well.

swim time 1:16:06

Out of the water we had a long run of 200 m into the changing tents where a lady helped pull off the wetsuit in 2 seconds flat!, then slapped me with sunscreen and I was on my way.

I remembered the row and number of my bike in amongst thousands of others and started the 180km bike ride. I sipped every 15 minutes to keep my hydration up. The coast views were lovely but the sun beat down. The dappled shade in the forest was very welcoming. My legs kept turning. The road seemed endless, but more interesting than my 5-7 hour rides back home. It was getting hot I could feel it on my back and we had to deal with a hot headwind at times but I made it through, some didn’t.

Bike: 6:34:17

I was so glad to get off the bike and hand it to a volunteer. My legs were over cycling but were they ready for a 42 k run??

Back to the change tent to swap shoes. And I sat there for just a minute in the shade.

By now the sun was really hot there was no breeze. My plan to run and only walk through the aid stations wasn’t suitable. I found I had to walk a lot more to keep my heart rate down. I put ice down my front and was eager to get squirted with water by the local kids. the crowds were amazing they cheered and called out wonderful things to keep you going. There were lots of high-fives, cowbells, cheering and even music at times. And a little girl skipped along side of me saying how great I was doing. We chatted for a while as I ran. I hope I have encouraged her to follow her dreams.

As the sun went down we were all given glow sticks to wear and flood lights lit the way. along the esplanade. I set small goals to run between the flood lights and then walk a bit. By now my legs were aching so much, and I wanted to stop. However, I pushed on. I really wanted to finish too. The crowds continued to urge us on.

The finishing shoot is truly amazing and emotional. The red carpet, the flags, the bright lights in my eyes, the thumping music and the commentary is the pinnacle of the race. I had surge of extra energy to run down and cross that finish line - and to hear those wonderful words “Lyn Humphris You are an IronMan

Cate Pearce takes part in the Seven Year Itch

to raise money for Cancer Council SA Jamestown’s Cate Pearce unfortunately knows too well the grief

and pain that comes from Cancer. She lost her best friend to Bladder Cancer, her cousin passed away from Melanoma Cancer aged 41, her Dad and Brother (aged 59) both passed away from Prostate Cancer, her mother and sister have recovered from Breast Cancer and 12 months ago Cate had her own battle fighting Breast Cancer.

Cate wanted to do something to acknowledge her own battles and to help raise awareness and money to help fight the disease.

Cate’s friend Tiffany Carter has attended 6 out of the 7 Marilyn Jetty Swim’s since it’s inception in 2014.

After seeing Tiffany’s enthusiasm Cate decided she wanted to be part of this great thing as well, and on Sunday Feb 2nd, 2020 Cate took the plunge (literally) and did her first Marilyn Jetty Swim.

The Marilyns are a group of bold, fabulous women (and men!) who take part in the Brighton Jetty Classic, swimming or paddling 400m around the Brighton jetty every February - all dressed head to toe as the favourite 50s icon, Marilyn Monroe all to raise money for Cancer Council SA. The event has raised over $400,000 since it began in 2014. Now in it’s 7th year!

Cate’s experience has given her a new perspective on her emotional journey through the scars of the past. She is still raising money for the Councer Council SA and you can find her money tins at Foodland and Hair on Ayr. She would appreciate all you can give, and is keen to gather a team of Local Marilyn’s to take part. If you are interested in donning on the wig and sunnies and giving it a go, then drop in to Hair on Ayr and ask Cate all about it, or visit the website www.themarilyns.org.

Are you 50 or older, familiar with My Aged Care, or have lived experiences of the My Aged Care systems?

As a volunteer Aged Care Peer Champion you will support older people, individually or in small groups in your community to understand, navigate and engage with the My Aged Care systems.

DIGGERS’ WalkCENTENARY CELEBRATIONS

“The Diggers’ Walk” centenary celebration along the banks of Belalie Creek on New Year’s Eve was enjoyed by people of all age groups, from the local district and wider mid north area. Food and drink stalls kept people nourished, people gathered at the Apex bar and socialized; while chalk painting and bouncy castles kept the younger children amused.

Thanks to the Jamestown and wider community for supporting this milestone in Jamestown’s history. The weather was very pleasant; and although is became a little too cool for some folk during the evening, it kept the mosquitoes away.

We wish to thank volunteers from JDA, Lions and other individuals who spent many hours beautifying the area along the creek by watering the lawns and cleaning up in the days prior to the New Year’s Eve event. Thanks to NAC staff for watering down the roads and the final clean up.

Thank you to community and church groups who provided food, drinks and displays; helping to make the evening a true community effort.

Many people assisted in making this a memorable celebration for Jamestown and districts. A special thank you to those who generously provided equipment, those who gave time in setting up the area during the day, Philip Leesong for operating sound and lighting on the night; and to entertainers Heidi Crawford, Geoffrey Graham, and ‘The Little Blue Bees’; who kept a few enthusiastic people dancing into the new year.

A highlight was the re-enactment by three “Light Horsemen” and their mounts: Mick Bachelor, Roger Jones and Geoffrey Graham. They certainly received many positive comments from the crowd for their input into the evening and the official opening. We were fortunate that our local federal member Rowan Ramsey, was present to officiate at this centenary celebration; and to open the recreated “Walk.”

Huge savings on selected

Ladies, Men’s and Children’s

Shoes

“The Diggers’ Walk” project is on-going, so that additional information is accumulated and recorded on the infrastructure along the creek, for future generations.
